stances there was a full concurrence that no better
course for the time could be adJpted. we have reason to
know that individual members of the trail/ do not con-
sider themselvers, or each other, pl,dged to exact any
such figures, so long as they find them impracticable.—
Aria's Birmingham Gazette.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Our Piece Hall has been but
thinly attended to-day, and we are unable to report any
improvement in the inquiry for any description of
worsted goods. The condition of the yarn trade is any-
thing bat satisfactory. The quotations are much below
the cost of production; and unless there be a speedy
change, the spinners will be driven to the necessity of
running short time. Wool continues pretty firm; the
rates demanded by the growers being higher than the
staplers can realise here ; and no large quantity is
changing hands, as the spinners buy only from hand to
mouth.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have pleasure in
having to report a better market to-day than last, and
generally speaking more has been done. In the Cloth
Hall doeskins and the lighter quality of goods for sum-
mer wear have been pretty freely disposed of. Fancies
have been a little in request. In the shipping trade
nothing has been done, no buyers having been in town
except those that were in last week. The warehouses
since last Thursday have been fiat. The wool trade is
quiet; prices remain firm.
LEEDS, TUESDAY .—We have had a quiet market to-
, day in the cloth halls. Stocks keep in moderate com-
pass, and there has been rather more business in the
warehouses.

FRANCE.

The following &tails relating to the proposed Sa-
nitary Congress appear in the journals :
After the resistance offered by the sanitary board of
Marseilles to the new regulations presented by the
French Government, with a view of diminishing the
oppressive operation of the quarantine regulations, it
was resolved to propose to the maritime powers
that an inquiry should be made into the true character
and effect of the diseases (the yellow fever, the
plague, and the cholera), against the propagation of
which restrictive measures aro adopted in different
countries, with a view of coming to some general under-
standing on the subject. It was proposed by the French
Government that a congress should be held at Toulon,
and that each maritime power should send in two
delegates, one to represent the commercial interests,
the other a member of the faculty of medicine.
The suggestion of a congress was universally ap-
proved of ; but some of the powers disapproved
of the place named for the meeting and pro-
posed Montpellier. On this the French Government
proposed Paris as being central, and affording to the
delegates not only immediate access to the best informa-
tion, but also giving to them the advantage of being
able to communicate at once with the embassies of their
respective countries in the event of such a course
being necessary. The last proposition has been
acceded to, and the congress will commence
its labours soon after the middle of the present
month. We understand that the principal points
to be submitted to the congress, on the initiative
of the French Government, are-Ist. Is the cholera
contagious? Are quarantine regulations against this
disease necessary for public security? In cases of
plague, is it safe to adopt the system practised by Aus-
tria, of allowing the quarantine to commence from the
date of the sailing of the vessel from its last port,
instead of that of its arrival at the port of desti-
nation? Is it not advisable to form a general sanitary
board representing all the maritime powers, and to ap-
point for each port, where a quarantine shall exist, a
medical man, who shall represent not merely the coun-
try, in which he resides, but all the maritime powers;
and whose declaration shall be conclusive, unless it be
set aside by the decision of the board on the remon-
strances to which it may give rise?
