THE SUN,

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The inquiry for worsted
goods is scarcely so active as it was ; the merchants
being unwilling to give an increase of the price ade-
quate to the enhanced cost of the raw material. The
demand for yarn continues good, and the late advance
is freely obtained. There is a moderate amount of
business doing in wool, and the quotations are firm,
at the recent advance; but the consumers appear very
reluctant to accede to the farther rise demanded by
the growers.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have had a very good
market at the Cloth Halls both Saturday and to day,
and the woollen trade generally is very brisk. Prices
keep firm ; and, in consequence of manufacturers
being engaged to order, stocks are very low. There
is also a good bussness doing in the warehouses, both
for the home and foreign trade.

sired the earliest opportunity of seeing the list
of casual ies and other information of great
interest to them. Now, Lord Ashley should have
some feeling, some degree of humanity for persons
thus situated. Of all trials suspense was the
greatest ; when some great calamity happened to
men, they bore it as best they might ; but sus-
Fense was torturing. He had hoped for the assistance
of some of the established clergy on this occasion.
It had always appeared to him one of the advantages
of a highly-educated and aristocratically-connected
clergy that they should save the people from
such mischief as that to which he was alluding,
by pointing out the difference between what was
reasonable and mere fanaticism. If they had stood
forward on this occasion, they would have secured
the confidence and gratitude of all reasonable men
throughout the land. He hoped that petitions would
be sent from all parts of the kingdom, to show the
Government that it was not the wish of the people
that these restrictions should exist.
Mr. A. PARKER said he had much pleasure in se-
conding the resolution. He thought a more mis-
chievous measure than the recent one had never been
adopted. He believed it would not be practicable to
carry it out, for he conceived that men of business,
whose desire or whose necessities compelled them to
receive information on Sundays, would devise other
means of obtaining it.
Mr. RonirtsoN said he quite agreed with the Go-
vernment measure. He believed that there was a
divine obligation upon every man to observe the
Sabbath ; and he was willing to bear any inconveni-
ences which might result. He had known men in
large businesses who had given up the practice of re-
ceiving and attending to their letters on the Sab-
bath, and they had since expressed to him their thank-
fulness that they had done so. He thought, too, Sir
John Fife had been too severe in his remarks.
Mr. FINLAY said he 'cordially concurred in Mr.
Robinson's opinion. He thought that a fair trial
should have been given to the new plan.
On the motion being put, it was carried by a very
large majority, there being but three votes against it.
(The number of members present was 26.) Petitions
founded upon the resolution were ordered to be sent
to Earl Grey and Mr. Ord.
After some further business the council broke up.
