stances there was a full concurrence that no better
course for the time could be adopted, we have reason to
know that individual members of the trade do not con-
sider tbemselvers, or each other, plAged to exact any
such fieures, so long as they find them impracticable.—

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
I worsted goods. The condition of the yarn trade is any-
thing but satisfactory. The quotations are much below
the cost of production; and unless there be a speedy
change, the spinners will be driven to the nec, saity of
running short time. Wool continues pretty firm; the
rates demanded by the growers being higher than the
staplers can realise here ; and no larg-, quantity is
changing hands, as the spinners buy only from hand to
mow h.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have pleasure in
having to report a b-otter market to-day than last, and
generally speaking more has been done. In the Cloth
Hall doeskins and the lighter quality of goods fir Bum-
pier wear have been pretty freely disposed of. Fancies
have ben a little in rf,cpr-sr. In the shipping trade
nothing bat b era done, no buyers having been in town
exc. pt those that were in last week. The warehouses
last ThursdAy have beta flat. The wool trade is
qui,-t; prices remain firm.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have bad a quiet market to-
day in the cloth build. Stocks keep in moderate com-
pass, and there has been rather more business in the
warehouses.

FRANCE.

The following details relating to the proposed Sa•
nitary Congress appear in the journals :
After the resi•tanoe off-red by the sanitary board of
Marseilles to the new regulations presented by the
French Government, with a view of diminishing the
oppressive operation ot the quarantine regulltion4, 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 are adopted in different
countries, witi a view of coming to some general under-
standing on the subj et. 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 univeraitily ap-
proved ot ; 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 else giving to them the advantaee of being
able to communicate at once with the embassies of their
respecive 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 fit public security ? In cases of
plague, is it sate to adopt the system practised by Aus-
tria, of allowing the quarantine to commence from the
date of the sailing cf the vessel from its last port,
instead of that of its arrival at the port of dead-
' 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?

SINGULAR BALLOON ASCENT.
M. Poitevin, yesterday made his promised ascension
from the Champ de Mars in a carriage and two horses,
suspended from the gigantic balloon, ",the Globe." The
fineness of the weather and the novelty of the
scene drew together, as might have been expected, an
immense concourse of spectators. Durieg the opera-
tion of filling and other preliminary preparations, the
attention ot the public was somewhat diverts-d by the
fantasia of the Arabs. The President of the Republic,
accompanied by General Roguet, his Aide-de-Camp,
and Commandant Fleury, his orderly officer, was pre-
sent, and viewed with great interest the manoeuvres
of the Arabs and the process of inflation of the
balloon. After their performances had terminated,
M. Poitevin with his wife and servant entered
the carriage, which was drawn by two very pretty
small horses, and drove round the enclosure, after which
it was attached to the balloon, which had been by this
time fully inflated. At the signal words " Let go," the
two hundred soldiers, who bad be, n stationed round
the balloon to hold the cords, released them, and the
balloon rose majestically amidst the enthusiastic
shouts of the spectators. Madame Poitevin displayed
the most perfect serenity; on entering the carriage
she kissed her child with a smile, and when at a
little height from the ground threw out a large boucri, t,
which tell among the crowd, and the pos•esaion of *Erich
was eagerly scrambled for. The balloon took the direc-
tion of the river towards Versailles. It is of spherical
form, and contains upwards of 4 000 mt-tres of silk, in
alternate stripes ot black and red. Every precaution ha,
he• n taken in its construction to ensure its solidity.—
