STATE OF TRADE.

( From the needs Mercury.)
THE LEEDS TRADE.—Business continues pretty brisk in the
Coth-halls. On Tuesday there was a good deal of business
doing, but not so much as on Saturday, which was the briskest
market we have had during the year. The stock of goods in the
halls is very much reduced, and the manufacturers are obtain-
ing a trifling advance upon the prices at which they were sell-
ing a few weeks ago. Although business is not brisk in the
warehouses, there is, nevertheless, a little more doing, and the
expectation gains ground amongst the trade generally, that
business will improve as the season advances, more particularly
if the harvest turns out well, as the stocks in the drapers' hands
throughout the country are lower than they have been known
for a long time at this season.
BRADFORD.—In consequence of the manufacturers asking
higher prices, there has been rather less business done to day.
We can report no alteration as to yarn this week, except in
warp yarns, which are a little higher. Transactions in wools
have been more limited this week, owing to the high prices
asked by the staplers. The manufacturers say they cannot
an advance proportioned to what has taken place on wools, and
therefore buy very sparingly.
HUDDERSFIELD.—There has been a great deal of cloth sold
to-day, and prices are firmer than during the last two months.
HALIFAX.—Trade continues in a very embarrassing state.
The merchants either cannot or will not rive a price for goods
at all adequate to the advance upon wool. Low Lastings re-
main scarce, and yet, notwithstanding this, some of the manu-
facturers declare they are unable to get sixpence per piece
profit upon them. Shalloons and Says are dull of sale. Un-
less wool falls in price, or goods rise, the manufacturers must
cease working.
ROCHDALE.—The last flannel market was equally well at-
tended as the preceding. Goods sold at the same prices.
There is at present a better prospect in the flannel trade than
for some time past. Hands are rather better employed.
YORK.—The market was supplied with wool to-day, and a
good many buyers were present, yet the market was dull, and
sales were effected with great difficulty; for fine hog wool the
demand is good, and former prices are fully supported ; in-
ferior sorts not so good to sell. Hogs, 265. 6d. ; hogs and
ewes, 255. to 263. ; ewes. 21s. to 235. 6d. ; moor wool
lls. 6d. to 12s. per stone of 16 lbs.
DONCASTER.—TO this day's market there was a good at-
tendance of buyers, and a large supply of wool ; the sale was
brisk, and nearly all was bought up. Hogs 255. 6d. ; hog and
ewe 225. 6d. J ewe 20s. 6d. ; 12s. 6d. per stone of 16 lb.

(From Wheeler's Manchester Chronicle.)
COLNE. —The hand-loom weavers of calico are here in much
demand, but wages are very low. Their cuts are 30 yards
long, for which they receive for weaving is. 9d. per cut. A
good weaver can weave four cuts in a week, and some few as
many as five cuts per week. The last week the manufac-
turers advanced one penny per cut, and have promised to ad-
vance another halfpenny if trade continues to be brisk.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
' PORTSMOUTH, JULY 12.—Yesterday Rear-Admiral Wm.
Parker, C. 8., returned from his late important command in
the Tagus in the Asia, 84, Captain P. Richards, having
been relieved by Rear-Admiral Sir W. H. Gage. who ar-
' rived there in the Hastings on the 28th ult. The Asia left
the Tagus on the 2d instant, three days previously to the
City of Edinburgh ; consequently did not bring any news.
The disbanded volunteers and militia were quietly returning
to their homes, to which they were induced by the labour
required to assist in gathering in an early harvest. The
decree for the sale of the monastic and convent properties
had excited no particular feeling, the growing public opinion
appearing to be that these abodes of superstition, idleness,
and gross luxury should be eradicated. The Nautilus had
been sent to the north coast of Spain to assist the Leveret
on that station. The Hastings was the only English ship
left in the Tagus. The Revenge, having landed the Duke
of Portland and Lady Howard de Walden, had proceeded
to the Mediterranean. The Asia is to be paid off at Chatham.
On Thursday the Portuguese frigate Duchess of Bra-
ganza (bearing the flag of Admiral Count Cape St. Vin-
cent), Captain Ruxton, came into harbour to be taken into
one of his Majesty's docks for repair, at the expense of the
Portuguese Government, which, it is estimated, will cost
about 7,0001. The crew, whilst the ship is under repair,
will be conveyed to Brest in steamers, to fit out the re-
stored Portuguese shies of war lying there, and take them
to the Tagus.
The Rainbow, 28, Captain T. Bennett, arrived at Port
Royal from this port on the 2d ult. The Forte, Tweed,
and Racer, were then lying there. The island was quiet
and healthy.
The Sapphire, 28, Hon. Capt. Trefusis, arrived at Vera
Cruz on the 20th of May, to collect freight, and return to
England, and the Reynard packet from Falmouth ; the lat-
ter left next day for Tampico.
On Thursday the William Harris transport arrived from
the coast of Africa, last from the Island of Ascension,
having on board passengers and returned stores. Lieute-
nant Steevins, the late agent, died on the 7th of April, of
fever, on her passage from Fernando Po to Ascension.
During her service on the coast, three of the crew also
died of fever. She was employed in removing the esta-
blishment from Fernando Po to Ascension. She sailed
this morning for Deptford, with the returned stores. Mr.
C. Priaulx, Assistant-Surgeon, from Fernando Po ; Lieu-
tenant J. ISPArthur, R. M., and Mr. W. Class, Clerk
of the Victualling Establishment, from Ascension, came
passengers.

- The Maitland transport, Lieut. Spencer, agent, arrived
on Wednesday from .Lisbon, last from Plymouth, having
on board a detachment of Royal Marine Artillery, under
the command of Captain Creighton, Lieutenant Rolles,
51st Regiment, and detachments of the 10th, 51st, 88th,
and Rifles. She is to proceed to Woolwich, to land her
stores.

The North Star, 28, Captain 0. V. Harcourt, will go
out of harbour on the 25th, and sail for South America on
the 27th. The Childers, 18, Commander Hon. H. Kep-
pel, will go out of harbour on the 26th, and sail on the
29th for the Mediterranean. The Buzzard, 10, Lieut.
W. C. Burbidge, will soon be ready for the west coast of
Africa.

The free traders, Malabar and Marquis of Hastings, for
the Cape and Bombay, are come to Spithead to take on
board passengers. The latter will sail to-morrow, and the
Malabar on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Bourchier are among
the passengers in her. The, ship Morley, with troops, for
Ceylon, is also at Spithead.
Yesterday the brig Tom Bowling, Martin Boscuto,
arrived from Cephalonia and Zante ; and the schooner
Para, Preston, from Marsala, with wine for this port and
London.

The St. Vincent, 120, was undocked on Wednesday ;
and the Prince.ss Charlotte, 120, docked on the following
day. She will go out of dock on the 22d inst.
The Winchester, 52, was masted and taken into dock at
Chatham on Monday last, to be coppered and completed.
The Salamander, Commander Castle, arrived this morn-
ing from the eastward to receive on board the body of the
Hon. Mr. de Saumarez, son of Admiral Lord de Saumarez
(which was brought to the dockyard on Thursday from
Tunbridge Wells), to convey it to the island of Guernsey
for interment. The Salamander is to return to this port,
and proceed thence to Chatham and Woolwich with detach-
ments of Mariries.

The Savage, 10, Lieut. Loney, arrived on Monday from
