STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, JULY 4.—There has
been an active demand for most descriptions of foreign
wool during the past week, and the business transacted
has been extensive. Prices are very firmly maintained.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JULY 5. —There
has been a greater firmness in this market during the
present week, and sales have been made at rather higher
prices, but the latter are still below the rates asked by
the growers for new wool.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JULY s.—The prices
of wool continue much as usual, and we have nothing
different to report this week in any description.
LEEDS.—We have this week had two brisk markets
for goods of all descriptions, with the exception of thin
summer Tweeds. The supply of goods still continues
very light at the Cloths Halls, in consequence of many of
the principal manufacturers being engaged in delivering
goods to order. In low goods there is a trifling advance
in price, but in fine qualities there is no alteration. There
have been several of the leading London buyers in the
market during the week, and the foreign houses con-
tinue busy. On the whole there is more business doing
than usual at this season, in the warehouses.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There is a Con-
siderable difference of opinion amongst themanufacturers
to-day as to the state of the Piece Market ; some are
complaining of a difficulty in effecting sales, while others
state there has been a fair amount of business done.
Merinos are scarce, and as they are only made in limited
quantity, they command full prices. Orleans and Para-
mattas are better of sale, and prices firm. Contracts for
yarn for the month of July have generally been taken
at an improvement upon the current rates of the pre-
ceding month ; this is to be attributed to the advance
which has been effected .on wool. The wool fairs in the
country have gone off more briskly than was anticipated,
and the prices realised by the growers range higher.
The effect has been to produce more activity in this
market. Old stocks have been cleared off freely, and at
better prices
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING. The advices
received by the Indian mail are not very flattering as
regards the sale of cotton piece goods. Though sales
have been made to a fair extent, prices are by no means
satisfactory, and the consequence is a continued dull-
ness for those kinds of fabrics, and the market closes
with a further downward tendency. Printing cloth
is still an exception, the demand being good as
well as higher. Had the printers been supplied
with water, so as to have enabled them to work full
time, these goods must hare gone still higher than they
are ; many printers are not working more than three or
four days a week. The home trae is improving—a
sign that in the agricultural districts a fair average har-
vest is expected. Yarns meet poorly quip, hut without
any sensible change in value.—Leeds Mercury.

SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.

The most entertaining article in this Number is a
"Narrative of the late Niger Expedition," which is
from the pen of a gentleman 'flamed Monett, and is
written in a shrewd andllively spirit of observation.
The author'gives a lamentable account of the demo-
ralised condition of many of the native tribes on the
banks of the Niger, and says of the African character
generally, that the negro will do nothing without
being well paid for it. This is a peculiarity by no
means confined to, savages, but is common enough
even in the most civilised countries. " Our Note-
Book" contains several scraps of amusing information
respecting ancient temples in Ceylon, the Red River
Settlements, &c.

TAIT S MAGAZINE.

This Magazine—an unusual thing with- Tait--has
not reached us till this day, about four days after
date, which will account for our delay in noticing it,
and also for the brevity of our notice. We have
hastily cast our eye over the Number, and find it
neither better nor worse than usual ; the best, or at
any rate the most readable article is the notice of Mr.
D'lsraeli's " Coningsby," to whose elegance and
sprightliness of dialogue, the. Reviewer does every
justice.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
TO- THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin, —I believe it is not generally known to the public
that the receipts returned weekly to the public -news-
papers of the Great Western Railway, include the re,
ceipts also of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, which has
been some weeks open all the way to Exeter ; the length
of both is about 200 miles, and the one a continuation
of the other: As pro bone publico is your motto, you
will, perhaps, set the public right on this matter.
my only object in writing is the circulation of truth ;
the public will then be enabled to appreciate the value of
the shares. Yours, respectfully, -
A CONSTANT READER OF TWENTY YEARS.
Bath, July 5, 1844.

CONDITION OF THE TURF.
• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Snt,—Well, the Running Rein case has been heard,
and a pretty exposition we have. The black-leg tricks,
it turns out, are not confined to little folk, but are prac-
tised amongst the great ones—yes, the Jockey Club are
not free from it.
After all this, if any one who is not " in the sebret"
of the noblemen's and gentlemen's thimble-rig, is silly
enough to make a bet (little or much), he ought to pay
for his folly. Leave the great ones to juggle an& fleece
each other.
Since Lord B. declared, some time ago, against a
certain great stable, there has been nothing but a war
of villainy, and the robbing of honest turf men has been
infamous.—Tours truly,

AMERICAN NEWS.

The packet ship England, Capt. Bartlett, arrived at
Liverpool on Saturday, after a run of little more than 18
days, from New York.
The House of Representatives had passed a resolution
authorising the Postmaster-General to enter into an ar-
rangement with our Government for the purpose of fa-
cilitating the dispatch of the English mails from Boston
to Montreal, &c. The Senate had rejected the clause of
the Naval Appropriation Bill, abolishing corporal punish-
meets, on the 14th ult.
The President had nominated J. S. Green as Secre-
tary of the Navy, but the Senate had not acted on it..
The grand jury finished their labours in connexion
with the recent riots at Philadelphia on the morning of
the 15th ult. In their presentment they state that they
have acted on upwards of 200 bills of indictment, out of
which number they found 161 true bills. They refer at
some length to the late disturbances; the whole of which
they attribute to the lax manner in which the law has
been exercised by the constituted authorities of the city
and county, and more especially those of the district of
Kensington, and to the efforts of a party to exclude the
Bible from the public schools. They severely censure
the authorities of the disturbed districts for their want
of energy and promptitude on the occasion, and are of
opinion that their conduct ought to undergo legal inves-
tigation. Judge Parsons addressed them upon the con-
clusion of their labours, and said that the Court had read
the presentment with great satisfaction, and approved ot,
it entirely. ,
We have no commercial news.

four cases where coroners' juries Lave sat on the bodies,
one of which occurred in this very Kensington Union ;
and therefore it was that 'I have been dissatisfied, and I
have a right so to be, with thenaanner in which the Poor-
law Commissioners have thought proper to end this in-
quiry ; and having those dissatisfied feelings, I thought
it a duty I owed to the poor in general to present a pe-
tition to the House of Commons, praying them to grant
what they have granted, a Committee to inquire into my
complaint."

Upon the whole of this case we are satisfied that it
is an organic mistake in the New Poor-law to require
complaints of this kind to be carried in the first
instance before the Poor-law Commissioners—it is a
niere mockery. Their powers should be altogether
administrative ; their judicial decisions can "never
tend to any other result than to bring the Poor-law
into odium, and to involve themselves in absurdities
such as those which their Assistant, Mr. Nicnor.LS,-.-
perpetrates in his posting reports from Ireland.
They have in some cases a positive interest in screen-
ing the misconduct of their subordinate functionaries
—in all cases a natural tendency to palliate it. We
cannot understand why the Select Committc,e should
not be prepared to say " that these Commissioners ex-
ercised an unsound discretion in not making further
inquiry" into OSMAN'S case ; still less can wo attach
the weight of one feather, or the
,value of one straw,
to the quasi defence set up for them—that Mr. RIDER
was not "authorised" by the. written instructions of
the Board of Guardians to present his petition, or to
enter into correspondence with the Poor-law Coin-
missioners. This last pretension of imporial un-
approachability, except after due ceremonial prelimi-
naries of office, is exquisitely ridiculous. We have
seen it imitated on a small scale by minor " com-
missioners" clothed with a tenure of offico adroitly
expanded by them—for the public good, of course--
from a two years' duration into one of four ; but we
have never seen the Fum-Ho grandeur of Chinese
irresponsibility so amusingly acted'as, on certain oc-
casions,
it is at Somerset House.

MART AND POLICN.

At the Exeter Assizes John Goodwin, a private of the
13th Dragoons, was indicted for stabbing a woman, with
intent to do her zone grievous bodily harm. This was
the only case for the city of Exeter. After the prose-
cutrix and other witnesses had been briefly examined,
Mr. Baron Alderson went over the facts of the case,
pointing out the discrepancies between the evidence of
the prosecutrix and the other witnesses, when the jury
immediately returned a ♦erdict of Not Guilty. His Lord-
ship then, addressing the jury, said he found the papers
had denounced this case as a "horrible and bloody
assassination." Such prejudging the case in the papers
which were circulated among the jury was an outrage
on public justice, and could not be too strongly censured.
Peter Phillips, William Doddemead, and Thos. Batho,
were convicted of setting fire to a rick of wheat, the
property of George Kean, and sentenced to fifteen years'
transportation.
Eliza Daley, Elizabeth Daley, her daughter, and Jas.
Daley, her son, were indicted, at Liverpool, for unlaw-
fully exposing a child. The parties had been indicted
at the last assizes for an attempt to murder, but were
acquitted on the ground of a variance between the in-
dictment and the proof. James Daley, Not Guilty;
Eliza Daley and Elizabeth Daley, Guilty. To be impri-
soned twelve calendar months.

William Burgess, implicated in the Bank forgery,
was covicted at the Central Criminal Court, and sen-
tenced to be transported for life.
In the New Court James James, who has been many
years an active officer in the metropolitan and rural
police, and four years turnkey at the Brixton House of
Correction, was convicted of stealing a truck or barrow,
value 305., the property of Richard Burt, at Clapham,
and sentenced to be transported for seven years.
William Edbury, a clerk in the Post-office, was con-
victed of stealing a half-sovereign and two shillings, the
property of the Right lion. the Postmaster-General of
her Majesty's Post-office, and sentenced to be kept to
hard labour for two years.
At Union-hall Charles Richart was brought up for
final examination, charged with stealing a gold watch
and chain, the property of Miss Williams, of Stamford-
street, and Fanny I)ronsart as an accessory in the
robbery. Mr. Cottingham said that, having heard all the
evidence, ho should commit Richart for trial to the Cen-
tral Criminal Court, and adjudge the young woman
I)ronsart to put in bail to appear at this court on the day
after the Oid Bailey Sessions commenced, to give the
complainant an opportunity of preferring a bill of indict-
ment against her as an accessory after the fact.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English Wheat here was very limited,
owing to which, and the fair attendance of dealers, the
demand for that article was steady at fully Monday's
quotations. Foreign Wheat, free of duty, was in good
request, and previous rates were steadily supported. Tho
quantity of English Barley was not large. yet the trade
'via dull, without any variatiot, in price. Foreign iita
ley was plentiful, and the distillers nti-.plied theni.,rives
wirit the hest sorts itt previous tior.. lit
Malt was in request, but other qualities - were null.
Owing to the contrary winds, the arrivals of Oats are

For the time of year we had a fair average supply of
Beasts, both as respects number and quality, while the
Beef trade was firm, and Monday's quotations were
steadily supported. Scarcely a single head of foreign
stock was offering, while the receipts from Scotland
were small. Sheep, the supply of which was good, met
a sluggish demand, yet we can notice no alteration in
prices. In Calves very little was doing, yet the rates
remained stationary. Pigs :were a dull sale, but not
cheaper. Mulch Cows sold heavily at from 161 to 191
each.

STEAM-BOA►T WHISTLE.

-
The following letter has been addressed to the editor
of the Times :

Sir—Will you allow me through your columns to
suggest a simple plan to prevent collision of steam•vessela
in foggy weather, and which would have prevented that
awful catastrophe at Greenwich on Tuesday with the
Sylph and Orwell ? The railroad engit.e has its whistle,
and why not the steamboat ? which might be kept up
during the whole of the passage in a crowded river during
such a fog.-----I am,
G.
Long-acre. Sir, yours respectfully,

being a translation of 77te Antigone of Sophocles, with
choruses by Mendelssohn. It is hoped that so praise-
worthy an effort will be seconded by those whose patron-
age and influence can alone assist the lessee in attaining
so desirable an object. The services of Mr. Edward
Sterling have been secured—a sufficient warranty for the
ezoellenca o the stage arrangements,.

REPRESENTATION
MOUTH.

DARTMOUTII, FRIDAY.—Both Mr. Somes and Mr.
Moffatt have returned here to complete thir canvass. As
the day of election approaches, both the candidates ap-
pear confident of success, and each gives out that the re-
sult of his canvass leaves his return beyond a dcubt.
The constituency of the borough does not, after deduct-
ing deaths and removals, exceed 250. Of these not more
than 235 are expected to vote; and both parties state
that they have more than half that number of votes pro-
mised them. There is no doubt, whichever party may
gain the day, it will be a small majority only.
At a meeting of Mr. Moffatt's friends, which took
place on Thursday evening, a correspondence between
the Vicar of Dartmouth and the Chairman of Mr.
Moffatt's Committee was read, in which the former gen-
tleman declared that " he could not allow the church
bells to be rung for any election matter in which that
gentleman might be concerned, if Mr. Moffatt, intended
to vote against church-rates;" and the latter replied that
" Mr. Moffatt could not be in favour of the continuance
of a payment which presses hard upon those who differ
conscientiously from the tenets of the Established
Church. At the same time we must be allowed to ob-
serve, that we cannot understand how you can be justi-
fied in making a coincidence with your own sentiments
a necessary condition for a service which is, on these
occasions, invariably given to either candidate without
reference to the party to which he may ,happen to
belong."
Mr. MOFFATT, in the course of his speech, 'pledged
himself to that meeting, in the event of his being re-
turned to Parliament as their representative, to do every-
thing in his power to obtain the speedy abolition of this
obnoxious impost.—(Cheers.) Mr. Moffatt in the course
of his address ably advocated the principles of free trade,
as did also the Chairman of his Committee. His is
the good cause, and he has every probability of suc-
ceeding.

BATE( AND WEST OF ENGLAND SOCIETY.—The

shall have been thorough drained.
