STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, APRIL 24.--The demand
for Foreign Wool has been only flat this week, and sales
comparatively limited. Prices may be quoted abcut the same
as last week.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL 24.—There has
been a better feeling in the market, but the manufacturers
complain of the di-proportionate prices of manufactured
goods and the raw material, and are extremely cautious in
their purchases of wool.
LEEDS.—There was considerable improvement in business
at the Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday; on the
latter day more goods were sold than on any market day
during the last two months. Prices continue pretty steady,
and the stocks on hand are below the usual quantity at this
season. Trade has also been more lively in the warehouses
this week than for some weeks past. A number of drapers
from the country and from Ireland have visited the town, and
some Americans have also been here during the week. Alto-
gether. the prospect is better than might have been expected
a few weeks ago.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There is no disposition
to buy any: kinds of wool except on the limited scale we have
observed for. some time past ; no alteration in price. The
improvement in the demand for yarns, noted in our report of
last week, is fully developed to-day, as the buyers are dis-
posed to purchase for distant delivery, to which the spinners
are not ready to accede, as the prices now current must un-
dergo a great advance before they can realise prime cost ; but
as long as.wool maintains its present disproportionate price
to yarns, thre is but little hope of the large quantity of totally
idle machinery being put to work to relieve our distressed
operatives... During the week and to-day more business has
been done in all kinds of dress goods suitable for auturnr,
and a feeling is gaining ground that we shall continue to
improve.' The delay in the Government measure affecting
the corn-laws has no doubt tended to retard the progress of
the merchants, particularly the export houses. The absence
from the 'market of a rather extensive buyer noted in our
last, turns out more unfavourable than was expected, and
considerable embarrassment is felt among the smaller manu-
facturers; several of whom have already had to yield to the
loss they will sustain, and many once respectable men will be
completely ruined, and necessarily involve increased tempo-
rary distress among the operatives in the villages where they
reside.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have net had
so much doing in cloth this week as many anticipated
there would have been. The manufacturers, in addi-
tion to the advance on the staple, are asking also a
further advance, and this on heavy fabrics would amount
to at least 5 per cent., which buyers at present refuse to give ;
hence only needy parties comply with the manufacturers'
demands, and the business is consequently limited. There
are one or two houses who generally employ large numbers
of hand-loom weavers in town, who are discharging them in
considerable numbers, as the goods manufactured by them
are chiefly for the home market. Yarns are in fair de-
mand, and prices firm as compared with those current this
day week.

fRADE OF LEICESTER.—SeveraI home buyers have been
in our market this week, and have bought cautiously ; ma-
nufactured stocks in hand are light, and there is no intention
to produce by the makers what is not likely to be wanted.
Some American orders have been received, and purchasers
are now in the market for goods suitable for the full demand,
but the uncertainty existing with respect to the Oregon
question induces them to conclude their purchases quickly,
leaving no time far anything to be manufactured on specula-
tion. Wools remain the same, and worsted yarns are more
in demand.—Leicester Journal, of Friday.

LOSS of the BRITISH SCHOONER

BALIUS.

Foreign-office April 14, 1846.
Sir—l am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to transmit to

St.-Michael's, reporting the wreck of the British schooner
Balius, at Fayal. I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

British Consulate, St. Michael's, March 23, 1843.
My Lord—l have the honour to acquaint your Lordship
that Mr. Minchen, the British Vice-Consul at Fayal, has re-
ported to me that the schooner Balius, of Liverpool, bound
homeward from Jamaica, with a cargo of rice, spices, and
logwoed, was totally wrecked at that island on the 28th ult.,
and that Samuel Scott, a seaman, and Esther Hasleden, a
native of Liverpool, a passenger, were unfortunately drowned.
The remains of these two persons were recovered and in•
-
terred, under Mr. Minchen's direction, in the English burial-
ground. I have, &c.,

The arrangement consists merely of the ring of a drum, the
inner surface of which is concaved across; over the concavity
is laid a piece of flexible material, called metalised cloth,
which is merely cloth dipped in a solution of metal, which
renders it not only durable and strong, but also imperviouS
to wetter or steam. At one part of the circumference of the
drum the' cloth is held firmly against the concavity by a
stop, on each side of which there is an orifice, one for ad-
mission, the other for the escape of the steam. If, then,
steam be allowed to enter the former orifice, it will traverse
the circumference of the drum, between the metal and the
-1 a
cloth, until it escape through the other orifice, producing
a considerable expansion of the cloth ; and, by causing -
roller, so formed as to fit the concavity, to press against the
cloth, holding it firmly against the drum, the steam, in its
attempts to expand the cloth, will propel the roller before it;
and this roller being fixed to the end of a lever, gives motion
to the shaft running through the axis of the drum. The
arrangement is rather difficult to be understood
without. the
aid of a drawing or model, but, when once seen, may be
comprehended at once by the most unlearned in mechanical
science. There is no rubbing surface, the existence of which
has been the principal cause of the failure of all those hitherto
exhibited. It can be worked by steam, air, or any of the
gases.

STOCK EXCHANGE.-The Government measure for facilitating the
winding-up of railway schemes appears to afford great satisfaction,.
and has done much already towards restoring confidence and re-
establishing the share market on a healthy and firm basis. The •
value of most old stocks has been enhanced since the issue of our .
last week's circular, especially Eastern Counties, Edinburgh and_ ,
Glassrows, Brightons, South-Westerns, Midlands, Newcastle and..
Darlutgtons, North British,. and Dovers; and the tendency
of our market to-day is again upwards, but with perhaps not quite.
so much business doing. Many scrip stocks continue to be sold at..
heavy discounts, as the proposition of Sir Robert Peel affords an op-
portunity for the majority of the scripholders in a scheme to insist:
on its continuance against the will of the minority, without, as was.
expected, permitting those-desirous of withdrawing from the concern. .
to do so on paying their proportionate amount of expenses incurred. '
Such a clause appears to us desirable before the measure can be said
fully to effect tit _object for which it is intended. The better class
of scrip partakes of the improvement manifested in the shares of
existing lines, aid among others may be mentioned West Ridings,
Eastern Counties (York Extensions), and East Lancashires (No. 2), as
having a better appearance on the market. . The sales•are-Eastera.

FALKIRK DISTRICT OF BURGIISL
LORD LINCOLN. •
The following paragraph appears in the Glasgow ,
Herald of Friday .—" It will be observed, from our ad-
vertising columns, that Mr. -Baird; of Gertsherrie, the,.
representative of the Falkirk district of burghs, has:
accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and that the Earl of..
Lincoln has offered himself a candidate for the vacant:
seat. The fact that his LordshiP has done so is the best.
comment on the unsoundness of the rumour which has
been recently circulated concerning an immediate disso-
lution of Parliament. Lord Lincoln's chances of success.
are of the most flattering kind. Mr. Wilson, of Dundyvan,.:
it is well known, holds a requisition, lately presented to ,
him, inviting him to allow himself to be put in nomination.,:_
for this district of burghs, and signed by a large number
of the electors. But Mr. Wilson, having been conferred :
with on the part of Lord Lincoln, and anxious to
strengthen the hands of Sir. Robert Peel in carrying his
free-trade measure, readily agreed not to claim the -
suffrages of the electors at this time, provided his re- ,
uisitionists would go along with him in this. He has
been holding meetings in the different burghs with this.
view ; and we are glad to learn that the requisitionists•
generally acquiesce in the expediency of the measure at
this time ; so that Lord Lincoln has every chance of being
elected member for these burghs."

" I seek," says his Lordship, "your suffrages on public'

her Majesty's Government his proposed to the Legisla-

great to accomplish an object in which the welfare of
the people is concerned, and for the attainment of which
it has not hesitated once to abandon power, and now to
make the greater sacrifice of party attachments and Ling-

EXCURSION TRAIN.—On Easter Monday, the Eastern
Counties Railway Company offered to convey passengers to
London, from different places on the line, at reduced rates.
The number of tickets was limited to 500-one hundred
being allotted to Colchester ; and as there were many more
applicants than tickets, a large, number of persons was dis-
appointed. The arrangements 'of the company, we under-
stand, did not give satisfaction to those who secured tickets
—the common luggage trucks having been provided for their r
accommodation instead of comfortable covered carriage- '
Surely the company would best consult its interests by
affording, on such occasions, the utmost convenience, and •

WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material has been before it (made into every useal and
ornamental article usually made is silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability alsilver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds ot" A- bate Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at best bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and

THE LORD MAYOR'S DINNER.
The recent dinner given by the Mayor
Seems to have been a very fine affar.
The papers tell us it was very splendidi ,
And that the Mansion-house was well attended.
'The dresses of the ladies did their duty
In giving to the scene an extra beauty ;
Nor can we justly pass unnotic'd by
The lords and gentlemen that met the eye.
The dresses these distinguished persons wore
Were such as never were deslgn'd before.,
MOSES and SON, by this display of art,
nave gain'd fresh laurels for their princely Mart ;
The beauteous styles of which unequall'd stand
In England, or in any other land.
Reader, we wish sincerely you'd been there,
Not only to have toasted to the Mayor,
But to have seen what all must much admire,
MOSES and SON'S display of choice attire.
A New Work, entitled " Past, Present, and Future," with full
directions for self-measurement, may be had on application, or
forwarded, " Post Free."
