question was asked—Who is it that produces the greatest share of
those beautiful garments? Truth would, at once, pronounce the

" CARE OF HEALTH.—The human frame often suflbrs greatly
during this season, the hurtful influence of which is assisted by the
premature adoption of the dress of summer. Those on whom the
blight of consumption has fallen, frequently sink under it about this
period, though the disease had commenced its ravagts many weeks
or months anterior to its fatal close. Ail unnecessary exposure on
the part of such delicate persons to the morning and evening chills,
should be carefully avoided. Also the full and plethoric will be be-
nefitted by the use of cooling medicines, as PA RR'S LIFE PILLS,
and very temperate diet; as a tendency of blood to the head is not
uncommon among such, giving rise to apoplexy and other fatal dis-
eases of the brain. Young and stout persons even require some
cooling purgative, as PARR'S LIFE PILLS, which will lessen the
heat of the skin, and perfectly cleanse the system."

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, MAY 10.—About the
same amount of business has been done, this week as
during the preceding one, and in prices there is no per-
ceptible variation.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, MAY 13.—There
has been rather more disposition to buy combing wools
this week than for some time past ; but the low prices
offered by the manufacturers has prevented any material
increase of sales. In clothing wools we do not quote any
alteration.
YORK WOOL MARKET.--We understand that this
market will be opened for the present season on Thurs-
day next.
LEEDS.—There has been a full average quantity of
goods sold at our Cloth Hall this week ; as compared
with the market of the last three months, less has been
done in summer tweeds, but more in cloths and goods of
a general description. The clothiers are also more en-
gaged in manufacturing to order than for a long time
past. There has also been a good amount of business
done in the warehouses by the houses who are in the
home trade. The business is also brisker with the ship-
ping houses than has been known for several years, and
the general impression is, that the prospect, as respects
the trade generally, is brighter than at any period since
the panic of 1837.

STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, EVEN-
ING,—We have this week a decided improvement in the
demand for cloth of all descriptions, and if prices in
general cannot be quoted higher, they are not only firm,
but more buoyant, and with the present demand,
which is likely to continue, there is no doubt
but higher rates will, in a week or two,
be readily obtained. The demand for shirtings,
for the East and China, is still immense, and prices again
rather higher. This branch of trade is evidently likely
to become almost without limits, every succeeding mail
bringing an increase of orders. Twist is selling very
freely, and full prices readily paid, never, perhaps, more
doing, as exporters to all parts are now buying largely.
—Leeds Mercury.
LIVERPOOL.—Business is by no means brisk, and the con-
tinued absence of westerly winds prevents the arrival of very
'rainy vessels now sadly over due.
The last accounts from India and China are very satisfac-
tory ; profitable business has been done, and some good
orders have been received.
The alterations in the tariff have not had any material
effect in the produce markets, except with regard to coffee,
and in this article the.change has not been equal to general
expectation, although West India sorts have suffered se-
verely, without benefiting foreign growth to an equal ex-
tent. Sir Robert Peel's resolutions on the currency question
have generally. been approved, and with some alterations,
which will no doubt be made, as the matter is more fully
considered, it seems probable that much good may result. from
the change.
Shipping business continues brisk, and in the absence of
arrivals higher freights are readily obtained.

The bad stile et the Now south Wales trade, ..which ha
now running on for a very copsidersbie en
tailing heavy losses on most parties ivho hate been Cingaqed
in it, has placed one of our mercantile houses in eritalffitief=,
and it is feared that their affairs will prove to be rattier on a
large scale.
There has been -more demand for cotton this week, and
stiffer prices have been obtained. The manufacturing trade
is now in so healthy a position, and Manchester so well sup-
plied with orders, that there is no fear of the demand falling
off. A large consumption is going Oh, and the only question
between bu.yer and seller is, how aro prices to rule? The
steamer which will be due on Tuesday next will give a tone
to the market, and afford us statistics of shipments and re-
ceipts, of far more value than the early statements now to
hand. From the private accounts received per the Inde-
pendence, it would appear that business in the way of ship-
ments for England had been very brisk • the ports were well
supplied with vessels, and freights were low.
The continuance of dry weather is considered unfavourable
for the growing corn, and has caused more animation in the
market during the past few days, with some improvement
in prices; however, a few hours' rain would suffice to place
the trade in its former position.

In Share transactions there has been no excitement ; the
sales made lately have generally been on rather lower terms,
but there is no material alteration.—Liverpool 3liTcury.

GREAT LEINSTER and MUNSTER
RAILWAY.

A meeting of Shareholders of the Great Leinster and
Munster (or Dublin and Kilkenny) Railway Company took
place yesterday, at 61, Moorgate-street, for the purpose of
having submitted to them a report of the Shareholders' Com-
mittee, which was appointed on the 7th of March last to
examine into the position and affairs of the Company. The
chair was taken by Mr. Shaw, a Director.
Mr. SMITH (a Shareholder), in ,the absence of the Secre-
tary, presented the report, which stated that the Com-
mittee, having considered the past proceedings and actual
pesition of the body to which they belonged, agreed to sug-
ge itions from which we extract the following :
" A new line of railway from Dublin to Cashel had been
laid out at the instance of Government ; the estimated
capital had been raised ; the shares were at a premium ; and
notices of an immediate application to Parliament for a Bill
to incorporate the Company, and proceed with the under-
taking, had been inserted in the Irish newspapers. The
question accordingly was, what was now the best course to
be pursued by the Shareholders of the Dublin and Kilkenny
Railway Company, whose Act would not expire until the
year 1847. Confining themselves to facts immediately affect-
ing their rights as Shareholders, they had next to notice the
circumstances out of which the present Dublin and
Cashel Company took its rise. When first the gentlemen to
whom the formation of that body was due proposed to them-
selves the task of procuring a line of railway out of Dublin
to the south of Ireland, they considered, after mature deli-
beration, that the readiest and most effective course open.to
them, and the one best adapted to:the wants of the country,
was, to take up and carry out the original plan of the Great
Leinster and Munster Railway Company, by making the line
to Kilkenny. Proceeding to act upon that opinion, they
opened negotiations with the Directors still in office, and
with her Majesty's Government. It was unnecesEary to
dwell upon the negotiations with the former, because they
were completely put an end to by the decision of the lat-
ter, a decision which announced that no countenance or
assistance whatever could be given to any effort to carry
the Dublin and Kilkenny Act into execution ; but that
every countenance and assistance that could be afforded
might be relied upon for a plan based upon, or approxi.
mating to, the recommendations contained in the report
of the Irish Railway Commissioners, respecting a line vie;
Holycross and Cashel. The Dublin and Cashel line was,
in part, the identical line of this Company; for 58 miles,
moreover, the two lines run parallel and contiguous. So
tar they were- competing lines, and would necessarily be
so treated in Parliament, if this Company, or any of its
Shareholders, were to present --petitions upon the subject
either to the House of Commons or to the House of Lords.
This, however, was not the step which it would seem to be
advisable to take at present. They were to bear in mind
that .no opposition, however effective, could avail to enable
this Company to proceed at once with their works. So that,
in the event of their succeeding to prove that 56 miles of the
line were vested legally in them—that theirs was the better
line, moreover, and.would give the required communication
to the greater number of towns, they would still have to
reconstruct the Company, to elect new Directors, and to seek
new Shareholders. A distinct portion of their line was pro-
posed to be taken in as a branch by the Cashel Company.
That branch ran directly into .one of the original extensions,
projected, surveyed, and laid out at the expense of this Com-
pany, and it was also capable of being carried with the
greatest facility by Kilkenny, Clonmel, and Carrick-on-Suir
to Waterford. This would form an admirable South-Eastern
Railway, about one hundred miles long, pursuing a level
tract of country, the largest stream of traffic in the south of
Ireland, and not competing with the main trunk out of Dub-
lin, but contributing to its business. On the other hand, the
Carlow branch of the main trunk, if run into our original
Wexford extension, would give a railway sixty-eight miles
long, easy in the extreme of construction, and abounding
with profitable resources. Commencing upon a point from
the main trunk of the Dublin and Cashel Railway, near
Kildare, and thence proceeding by Athy, Carlow, Newtown-
Barry, and Enniscorthy, to Wexford, it would pass through
end take up the trade of the rivers Barrow and Slaney, and
would run into the capacious new harbour at Wexford, the
plans of which had been completed by Mr. Brunel."
The Committee also submitted a prospectus of a railway
to be called the " Irish South-Eastern, or Waterford and
Dublin Junction Railway, through Carlow, Kilkenny, Clon-
mel, and Carrick-on-Suir, with a branch to Wexford," the
proposed capital of which was to be 1,000,0001. The pros-
pectus set forth that "The South-Eastern Railway would
start at a point to be selected upon the Great Southern Trunk
from Dublin betwee* Sallins and Monasterevan, whence it
would pass through Athy to Carlow ; from Carlow to Kil-
kenny it would pursue the old Dublin and Kilkenny line;
thence to Clonmel it was proposed to adopt the line recom-
mended to the Dublin and Kilkenny Company by Mr. Aher ;
and from Clonmel to Waterford the line would fall into the
valley of the Suir, as suggested by Mr. Bald, resident en-
gineer to the Clyde. As part of the line was now possessed
by the shareholders of the Dublin and Kilkenny Railway
Company, by virtue of an unexpired Act of Parliament, it
was proposed to give them a preference, in subscribing the
required capital, and to alluw them, upon paying up
21. 10s. on the new shares, to have credit for the sums re-
spectively paid by them in the old Company. The Act of
the Dublin and Kilkenny- Railway Company would thus be
assigned to the South-Eastern Company ; and such arrange-
ments will be effected with the proposed Dublin and Cashel
Company, either as to consolidation or otherwise, as Go-
vernment should decide to be most conducive to the public
interests. The Government have been solicited to extend
to the South-Eastern Railway whatever degree of support,
Parliamentary or pecuniary, it may decide upon giving to
the proposed Dublin and Cashel line. The Wexford branch
would start from the South-Eastern line at the town of
Carlow."

Mr. IlEmasn was of opinion that they ought not to adopt
the report and prospectus at present, and without commu-
nicating with the Dublin and Cashel Company in reference
to obtaining a branch from the main trunk. They ought to
meet the Cashel Cempany in an amicable spirit.
Mr. SMITH supported the resolution because he thought
that they ought to have some plan laid down upon which
they could negotiate with the Cashel Company.
After some further discussion,
Mr. BEAMISII said he thought they could not agree to the
report and prospectus without sanctioning the principle of
forming the new Company, which he, for one, was not pre-
pared to do. He moved that the report and prospectus be re-
ceived, and be taken into consideration on Monday next, at a
meeting to be called for that purpose.
Mr. BLANDT withdrew his resolution, and Mr. Beamish's
motion having been seconded by Mr. Worgman was carried
unanimously.
Mr. BEAMISII then proposed that a Committee be ap-
pointed to wait on the Provisional Directors of the Dubha
and Cashel Railway Company, to negotiate with them for
the branch to Athy and Carlow from the main trunk, near
Kildare, with a view to the continuance 'of the line as ori-
ginally projected by the Dublin and Kilkenny ComPann
and to report the result to the meeting on Monday next.—
Agreed to.

LYONS AND AVIGNON RAILWAY.
(From the Journal des Chemins de Fer, of the 11th May.)
The Bill respecting this line is to be laid before the Cham-
bers next week ; the Company (Marshal Count Sebastiani's)
seeking the grant having based their proposals upon terms
differing totally from any that have yet been submitted, we
think that the information that has reached us on the sub-
ject will be read with interest.
The railroad from Lyons to Avignon—situated between
the Avignon and Marseilles line, in the course of construc-
tion, and the Paris and Lyons, about to be granted—will add
the remaining link to the great chain from Paris to the Me-
diterranean, by connecting Marseilles and Lyons, the
greatest commercial port and the most industrious city of
France.

Mr. SMITH stated that the Committee had received letters
from several of the Shareholders in Ireland, in which they
expressed their approval of the report.
The CHAIRMAN regretted that there was only one Director
(Mr. Beamish) besides himself present at the meeting. lie
could not understand what advantages would arise from tile
proposed new Company ; the lines of railway suggested in
the prospectus had all been contemplated by the Dublin and
Kilkenny Company, and if they succeeded in obtaining a
starting-place at Kildare, or Monasterevan, they would, in
his opinion, have all that was required for the purposes of
the Company, and one of the most profitable lines of railway
in the three kingdoms.
Mr. Joiis JACKSON BLAND Y moved that the report and
prospectus hbe received, printed, and circulated; and that the •
Shareholders' Committee be requested to continue their ser-
vices, and to ascertain what further support the project
would receive from the landed and mercantile interests locally
affected.
The ClatrarAN said, if they passed this resolution they
would, in point of fact, adopt a new line of railway which
they could not carry out without cpplying to Parliament for
a new Act.

The tedious and expensive navigation of the Rhone will
thus be superseded, and two roads adjacent to the river will
be relieved from the excessive traffic so injurious to them.
The length of the line being only 227 kilom., with unim-
portant gradients, the journey upwards will be performed in
six hours, whilst the barges take 25 days, the carriers a week,
and the steamers two or three days.
An investigation of the great commercial movement of the
line has convinced the Company that they were justified in
offering to execute all the works of the line, which are ex-
tremely light ; they therefore constituted themselves, with a
capital of 60,000,000 f., and the subscription was raised in a
few days, half in England, and half in France, particularly
ip the vicinity of the line.
This line, at either terminus, is connected with two of the
principal collieries of the centre and south of France, by the
lines of Lyons and St. Etienne, and Beaucaire ..and Alms,
which are already constructed.
There was no division of opinion with respect to.the tracing
of the line; investigations made at different periods7-in18..14,
on a plan of Messrs. Men Henry,
et and Hen and in 31837, en more
detailed calculations, by Mr. Kermaignant—preved
utlques-
tionably the advantage of the line along the left bank of the
Rhone, from Lyons, through Vienne, St. Vanier, Tain, Va-
lence, ontelimart, and Orange, to Avignon.
