STATE OF TRADE.

ENGLISH WOOL MARIEBT, LEEDS, SHPT. 27.—We
have no alteration of moment to report in this branch of
trade. Prices are firm and stationary. There have
been rather more sales effected in some kinds of comb-
in wools. -
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 27.—We have
no material change to report in the Foreign Wool Trade
this week. Sales have not been very extensive, many
buyers being absent at the London wool sales, but prices
remain firm.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SETT. 27.—There has
been more doing this than for several preceding weeks
in deep combing fleeces at previous rates, which has
caused an increased degree of confidence in holders, that
prices proportionate with those recently given to the
growers will be established, and the trade firm. In
short wools there is no variation, and no accumulation
in the stock.

DONCASTER Wool. MAl:arr.—We beg to remind our
agricultural and manufacturing readers, that the last
market for this season will be held on Saturday, Oct, 5.
LEEDS.—There has been rather less business dono
this week at our Cloth Hall than for some time past.
Prices are steady, and the stocks on band are much less
than is usually the case at this season.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAT.—The attendance of
merchants is not Tumorous to-day, and, upon the whole,
the Piece Market may be termed flat. Manufacturers
complain bitterly of the extreme low prices at which
sales are effected. We are sorry to hear that many
respectable houses are already curtailing their produc-
tion. We regret the necessity for so doing, not the fact
itself, which may indeed be, most likely is, the wisest
course to adopt. There is nothing new in yarns since
our last publication. We cannot quote any improvement
in wool; the demand continues of the same limited
character as noted for several weeks past, and prices
somewhat in favour of the buyer. There is scarcely
so much activity for noils and brokes, but no alteration
in prices.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EvENiNo.—We have had
rather more doing in cloth this week, and prices more
steady on all kinds except in printing fabrics, which,
notwithstanding an extensive demand, continued to
recede, though almost imperceptibly ;—for instance,
the decline may be called 6d. per piece during the
last six weeks. The low price of the staple, with a
prospect of its continuance, is a favourable omen that
such will be the case. The home trade is very brisk, so
far as extensive sales can make it so. Our dyers were
never more busy. From present appearances the ope-
ratives will succeed in obtaining a small advance of
wages without a general strike. The sale of Yarns is
still very large, but without any new feature as to value.

We have hoard that on the recent ♦isit of a section
of the Archmologic&l Association to Dover, the Duke of
Wellington, as constable of Dover Castle, refused to al-
low the learned members adrsaiesion to that ancient and

interesting fortress, to make eketohes or memoranda.
The Duke has no sympathy with antiquarian or histo-
rical pursuits ; witness his reply on being remonstrated
with on the dangerous position of the National Records,
Placed over the ammunition in the Tower.—" He would
take care that the gunpowder received no injury !"--
Kent Herald.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This place of public amuse-
ment has, during the past week, been crowded on each
of the three gala nights, with numerous audiences re-
sembling the scones of its former gaiety. The manage
went has brought forth such novelties that have pro-
duced an entire re-action in favour of the " Royal
property," and the success attendant on the exertions of
the conductors has induced them to prepare a series of
fetes, the first of which being a magnificent pyrotechnic
display by Darby, the artist to the gardens, will take
place this evening (Monday). On Wednesday the juve-
nile fete will be held ; and on Friday, the last night
Vauxhall will Ie open, a brilliant festival will b€
when the gardens will be splendidly illuminated, and or-
namented with tropbie=!, emblamatical of our late
victories in China and Alfgbanistan.

The typhus fever is said to be raging in Newport,
several fatal cases of which are reported to have occurred I
within these last few days.—Afonmouth Merlin.
