THE ►STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, Nov. 2.—The hosiery trade is in a vnry
healthy condition, and the demand continues toler-
ably brisk for all articles suitable for the season.
There has been an excellent business doing in most
branches for some time past. At Hinckley and
Loughborough the hosiery trade is in a satisfactory
state. Yams are in fair request at high prices. The
wool market is firm, without change in price.
NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 2.—The lace trade
remains exceedingly dull, and this week there
has been less doing than in the preced-
ing. No really beneficial change is looked for-
ward to for the present. Buyers are merely satis-
fying their requirements, which are very limited.
The silk branch is extremely flat, more so than for
some time past ; consequently many hands are
only partially employed. Stocks on hand continue
fiat, and goods are still being produced, for the
most part to order. In hosiery there is a fair
amount of business doing for export; the demand
for goods for home consumption is not active, but.
there are numerous other orders on hand, and the
operatives are on the whole well engaged. Yarns
continue firm, and late prices are fully sustained.
Silks are extremely high in price, and still have an
upward tendency.

TIIE CHAIRMANSHIP pF THE WEST KENT
QUARTER SESSIONS.—The Earl of Romney has signified
his intention of retiring from the chairmanship of the above
sessions, which his lordship has so ably discharged sinco
the year 1846. The election of his successor has .been fixed
for the 29th instant. It is understood that Mr. Gathorne
Hardy, M.P., will succeed him.
A NEW CUNARD LINER.—The Cunard Company
has just contracted with Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow, for
the construction of an iron paddle steamer of 4,000 tons,
with correspondino. horse-power. She is to be named the
Scotia. and will bez in every way larger and more powerful
than the Persia, which is of 3,500 tons. The new vessel,
we understand, is expected to surpass anything afloat, both
as regards speed and internal arrangements, and to sustain
the reputation of tho Cunard line, as well as of the Clyde
builders.
Is CONSUMPTION INCURABLE P Invalids labouring
under Consumptive Maladies, and families who have
suffered from the ravages of Consumption (and what
family in the empire is there who has not to deplore a
loss caused by this scourge of the human race ?) will find
a satisfactory answer to the question, " Is Consumption In-
curable," in an original article by Dr. DENIS Cnownt,
, 35, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, W. Published in
the "household Physician," in numbers, one penny each,
by G. Berger, 13, Holywell-street, Strand. From Ito 9 now
ready.

[AnvnnTrszmuNT.]—Mothers and nurses will find Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food admirably
adapted to remove all disorders of the stomach and bowels to
which infants anctchildren are at all times liable, such as
indigestion, flatulency, colic, dysentery, diarrhoea, consti-
pation, debility and restlessness. It. strengthens, nou-
rishes, and is used with more advantage than milk in
rearing infants. Wo quote a few out of many testimo-
nials :—" Amsterdam, 31st Dec., 1852.—Dear Sir,—Our
child, up to the age of eleven weeks, was very delicate, and
wasting away, and milk, sago, and arrowroot turned sour
on its stomach, causing great suffering. We then fed it
upon Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which agreed won-
derfully with her ; and she is now, at the age of nine
months, a plumy and lively little girl.—Daniel Servas."
" Wilderva.nk, Holland, 20th Sept. 1853.—Dear Sir,—Our
baby, which Heaven presented us with ten months back,
was attacked, when four weeks dld, with a disease of the
stomach and glands, by which our seven previous infants
had all been carried off, and this last child seemed destined
to follow its sisters and brothers before many days, for our
doctor, a very able practitioner, had, during three weeks,
exhausted all his skill, and was at a loss what to prescribe
next, when he advised Du Barry's Rovalenta Arabica,
which, I am happy to say, worked a great change for the
better in a few days ; and in six weeks' time the child was
perfectly well, and is now a cheerful blooming boy—a
source of the greatest happiness to us all.—L. H. Vaalman."
