COURT OF ALDERMEN.

On Saturday, soon after a Court was made, the Ward
Inquest of the south side of Farringdon Without presented,
that Richard Carlile, of Fleet-street, on the 21st of October
and several other days did, with force and arms, unlawfully
exhibit publicly a large figure or effigy, made to represent
one of the Bishops of the Established Church of this king-
dom, under which was written the words " Spiritual
Broker ;" and also anothe*: figure or effigy made to repre-
sent a person, under n'ilich were written the words " Tem-
poral Broker ;" that these figures attracted the notice and
attention persons passing and repassing along the street,
and f.):,ereby unlawfully caused many persons wrongfully and
Injuriously to assemble, by which the public way was greatly
obstructed, to the great damage and nuisance of his Ma-
jesty's subjects, &c.

the LORD MAYoa asked whether the Foreman wished
to add anything to the presentment ?

The Foreman and his brothers of the Inquest considered
it necessary to impress upon the Court the strong necessity
which existed for the removal of a nuisance of so injurious
and offensive a character.

The Loan MAYOR said that the Court would at soon as
possible proceed to the consideration of the subject.
Mr. Butterworth, of Fleet-street (one of the inquest),
stated that the nuisance was not only offensive and injurious
in an extreme degree to the immediate inhabitants of Fleet-
street, but that the public incurred danger from the obliga-
tion to walk in the carriage-way when the street was most
densely crowded with omnibuses, cabs, and waggons. The
offending person had promised, when first expostulated with,
that he would not exhibit the figures more than once a
week, but he had so high a regard for truth, that he began
his exhibition on Sunday, and continued it every day after.
One of the inquest suggested the propriety of giving such
directions as would have the effect of removing the nuisance
inslaater.

The RECORDER stated that the Court could not issue
any directions of the kind. The manner in which the evil
was to be abated was by indietmout, and thp noocbstary. form
of a trial must be undergone before the object of the gentle..
men could be effected.

A member of the inquest said that in the mayoralty of
Sir Peter Laurie an instantaneous removal of a very greet
nuisance in Fleet-street had taken place by the direction of
that Magistrate. He meant the removal of large placards.
The RECORDER intimated that the magistrate was legally
responsible in that case.
Several of the inquest stated that much increased annoy-
ance might be apprehended if the effigies were exhibited on
Lord Mayor's Day, and suggested the propriety of sending
a force of policemen there.

His Lommxtr assured the gentleman that the Court
would very deliberately entertain the question, and soon
after the Court adjourned.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Intelligeneer.)
LEEDS.—The demand for woollen cloth in Leeds has
been dull during the week, a state of things which may be
attributed to more causes than one, The recent critical
condition of the Wool Market has rot merely checked the
demand for some description of (roods, but has prevented
accumulation of large stocks of all kinds, the manufacturers
having had the precaution to buy no more wool than was
necessary to supply their immediate wants. This will no
doubt operate beneficially during the winter, as any increase
in the demand must necessarily be felt by the working
classes. The staplers are reluctant to lower the prices, of
their wools, and they are anxiously inculcating this notion
that a moderate demand for goods will have t/s.e, effect of
maintaining the present prices of the staple etunmodity until
the next clip.

BRADFORD.-011T market was aP fiat as usual ou Thurs-
day last. A manufacturer or leing asked in the street
what kind of market there had been, replied that every
thing had sold very 'low except wool. The fact is, how-
ever, that the staplers were in many cases inclined to take
a trifle less. The Yarn market continues in the same state
that it has been for some weeks ; and there was no improve-
meat in the Piece Market. The sales were very limited.
HALIFAX.--There was not so large an attendant of
merchants on Saturday as on the previous week, but ii'aner
prices were maintained. Double yarns were much in re-
quest, but as single yarns go off slowly they have s prejudi-
cial effect upon the other branch of the busine.ss, and the
spinners complain of small profits.
HUDDERSFIELD.--Our market was agai'.l very dull on
Tuesday, but still the stocks in the Hall (lb not accumulate,
most of the cloth being now made to order. Several of the
manufacturers are ve•ty busy executing former orders, and
therefore reluetP:nt to accept the reduced terms offered in
the Hall,

DF7l'sßuitY.—Tne blanket trade at Dewsbury and the
neighbourhood, is very flat, considering the advanced state
of the season.

llEcxmoNnwixt:.—The Blanket Market at Heckmond-
wike, on Monday last, was thinly attended by the mer-
chants. At Thursday's market more buyers were in at-
tendance and more business done, Orders for the Ameri-
can markets are beginning to enliven the blanket trade by
more goods being bought, and orders given out for that
trade. Prices remain stationary.
LANCA.SHIRge.—The silk trade at Manchester and the
neighbourin towns is still very slack. Weavers have to
wait ten or twelve days for a warp ; and on Saturday last
"some of the manufacturers told their work-people that they
must be six weeks in a cut. The silk weavers have little
more than half employment, while some are entirely without
work. At Leigh and other places a great number have
changed to cotton hand-loom weaving, which is uncommonly
brisk and in great request at present.
ROCIIDALE.—There was at the Flannel market on Mon-
day last a good attendance of buyers, which caused a very
brisk demand for fine qualities, and they sold better than
they have done for the last twelve months past, indeed the
demand was more than the supply. Middle and low sorts
sold at at a little reduction. Low whites as well as greys
for dying did not sell so well as usual. The wool market
was rather flat.

THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS.—It iS understood
that the Master of the Rolls will offer himself again to the
electors of Malton, as it is not his intention to relinquish his
seat in Parliament.

ANGLING IN IRELAND.—` e know very little of
Ireland except what we know through tainted or distorted
channels, and it would be well to rectify our scanty informa-
tion, and enlarge its bounds by the help of such intelligent and
dispassionate tourists as our English Angler. The author of
the " Angler in Ireland," had already traversed a considerable
part of the Continent before he visited the places commemo-
rated in this publication. He was, therefore, qualified to judge of
what he saw by a reference to the habits of other countries,
and was, fortunately, of a temperament to enter into and enjoy
the peculiar usages of the people, and to report them without
prejudice. The present tour is rich in sketches of the scenery,
and pleasant views of the manners and customs of the country.
