purpose of considering the provisions of the bill
now before Parliament for extending the line from
Ditchingham to Beccles.

Mr. itiTsoN having read the heads of the bill, a
resolution approving it was carried unanimously.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, May 29.—The occurrence of Whitsuntide
holidays has had the usual effect upon the cloth-
markets to-day. There was but a thin attendance
of buyers, nor was there a full attendance of
clothiers, and a comparatively small amount of
fresh goods were brought into the market. The
tone of the market was quiet but steady, and, all
things considered, there was a fair amount of busi-
ness done. The operative classes are spending their
holidays as if they were in the enjoyment of a full
share of the good things of life, but the ungenial
character of the weather has prevented many al
fresco pleasures.

MANCHESTER, May 29.—The commencement of
the Whitsuntide holidays was felt in the market
this morning, and the attendance on the Exchange,
though good, was much less than usual. In yarns
there was a rather better feeling than last week,
and prices were rather steadier. There was not
much business in any kind, which is no doubt
partly due to the causes which have lately dis-
turbed the market, and partly to the holidays.
Some kinds of yarns fetch nearly the late quota-
tions, though these are exceptional cases ; but ge-
nerally prices for yarns used by manufacturers and
for export are rather weaker. In cloths the market
continues very depressed; 61b. T-cloths being sold
at lid., and 611 b. ditto at 2d. per piece less than
the prices 10 days ago. Buyers were offering 6d.
per piece less, but at this reduction we did not hear
of any sales. Indian shirtings feel the depression
more severely. Printers maintain their last quota-
tions better than most goods, and 36-inch shirtings
have undergone but little change. Wherever there
is a change, however, it is in favour of buyers.
RocIIDADE, May 28th.—There has been a rather
quiet market to- day for wools as well as for flannels,
kerseys, and other woollen goods. The Whitsuntide
holidays has kept buyers away ; hence the quietness
in the market. Wools are very firm in price, and
there is a little more disposition on the part of.ma-
nufacturers to purchase. The quotations for nearly
all sorts of wool used here show an average advance
of nearly ss. per pack as compared with the paces
a month ago. The staplers complain that at the
London sales French buyers have been extensive
competitors, and have given higher prices than they
(the home buyers) felt warranted in giving. The
new clip, which is looked for with more than ordi-
nary interest, is likely to command high prices.
Manufacturers are well employed, and nearly all
the weavers have just got an advance of 2d in the
shilling in the woollen mills in the district. Orders
are not taken except at an advance proportionate
to that of wool and the cost of production. •

The Mysterious Power of the Magnet is most beautifully
developed .by Mr. F. M. HERRING, of 32, Basinghall-street,
in his Patent Magnetic Brushes and Combs, which are the
remedy for grey hair, weak or falling hair, neuralgia, nervous
headache. rheumatism, stiff joints, &c. His Teazle Brushes
for cloth, velvet, &c., are admirable ; they not only cleanse
but preserve the fabric in a remarkable manner. The publio
are cautioned agiallbt counterfeits.—[lDTT.]

asserts that no less than 6,000 of the Irish consta-
bulary are willing to resign with a view of emi-
grating to Rome and other countries. About 250
of the county of Limerick force, it is added, have
already done so, or are so disposed. "In Clare,
Cork, and Kerry, the police have similar inclina-
tions, and are pro'ing it." Idleness is the root of
all evil, and probably the lack of employment for
these peace-preservers, and the ennui consequent
upon listlessness, may account for the war fever
which has infected the green jackets—that is, on
the presumption that there is any real foundation
for the stories so industriously circulated by the
Ultramontane journals.
