STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 6.—There has
been an animated demand for most descriptions of Flo.
reign Wools this week, and the sales effected have been
considerable in amount. The high rates wools are
realising in the foreign markets gives, likewise, a very
firm tone to prices in this market.
YORK WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 6.—The market WaS
very badly attended to-day, and the show of wool only
very small ; not much business was done. Prices aro
steady. Mixed tops of hog and ewe realising 14s. tO

15, per stone.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 6.—The market)
continues much in the same state, and both combing and
short wools are held at stationary prices ; but sales have
again been very limited, notwithstanding the great con.
sumption that is going on.
LEEDS.—Our Cloth Markets continue in the same state
as for some time past, although there has at no time
been more goods manufactured than at the present time.
The Cloth Halls, nevertheless, continue to be very
scantily supplied with goods, whilst the demand for
winter goods is brisker than has been the case for some
Tears, at this period of the year. Prices remain steady.
here has also been a full average amount of business
done in the warehouses this week. The state of the
harvest, and the downward tendency of the corn markets,
induce the buyers to purchase with more spirit. On the
whole, the aspect of trade is brighter than for many
years, with the prospect of goal employment in the ma-
nufacturing districts during the winter.
TRADE OF HoLauffint.—During the last month a
large amount of business has been done in all kinds of
goods. The long drought had materially diminished the
quantity of goods sent to market, but since the rain the
mills have all been in full operation. Every branch of
workmen meet with ready employment, indeed some
manufacturers complain of a scarcity of hands. Goods
are now almost wholly made to order, and, with the
prospect of a mcst bountiful harvest, we may fairly pre.
sume that this district will be blest wi:h a flourishing
trade for a length of time to come. Cannot our manu-
facturers now discern the connection between cheap focd
and increased markets ?
HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, SEPT. s.—The
attendance at this market both on Monday and to-day
has been good, and the demand for goods unabated.
The business transacted both by sample and to order has
been greater than for some Thursdays past.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We
hate had on the whole but a dullish week for most kinds
of cloth, with prices for nearly all kint:s and qualities
rather in favour of the buyer. The market is very flat
indeed for such goods as are generally purchased on
India and China account. The home trade is very brisk,
the drapers buying very freely, now that no doubt exists
as to the bountiful harvest being well secured. The
calico printers were never busier; but prices do not im-
prove for this description of our manufacture. Yarns
'are in brisk demand, and prices fully as high.—Leeds
Mercury.

REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.-011 Sunday even 4
ing last, about seven o'clock; a covey of ten partridges,
which appear to have been disturbed and frightened
from their accustomed haunts, alighted in Silver-street,
in this town. Five of the birds: were caught, and the
remainder managed to make their escape.--Doncaster
Gazette.

The contractor for the southern portion of the
North British Railway has commenced operations at
Marshal Meadow, about three miles north of Berwick,
where are to be placed the stables and the principal depot
of materiel for the works ; at this place the railway will
run very close to, and parallel with, the sea banks, which
are very lofty and precipitous, consisting of red sand-
stone, through which the cuttings, here very deep, will
have to be excavated for a considerable distance.—New-
castle Adveriiser.

THE WESTERN DISTRICT BANK.—The following
circular announcing the close of the business of this es-
tablishment, and of its various branches in Cornwall, has
been issued by the Directors to the Shareholders:—
.

•' Sir,—l am directed to acquaint you that at a spe-
cial meeting of the Proprietors of tke Western District
Banking Company for Devon and Cornwall, held at the
Bank-office here, on Wednesday, the 14th inst., a full
statement of the affairs of the Company having beeu
read and laid on the table, whereby it appeared that tke
losses of the co-partnership have exhausted all the sur-
plus or guarantee fund, and also one-fourth part of the
capital of the co-partnership, which has been actually
paid by the Proprietors, the Chairman thereupon de-
clared the co-partnership to be dissolved, in accordance
with the 38th clause of the deed of settlement of the
Company.
The Liabilities of the Bank, including
the capital borrowed from Share-
holders, amount to
Estimated value of property and amount
of good debts

Deficiency.
To meet the above deficiency, the Directors recom-
mended to the General Annual Meeting of Proprietors,
held on Friday, that a call of 31. 10s. per share be made,
payable at the Bank-office, Devonport, by equal instal-
ment, on the Ist of September, Ist of October, and Ist
of November next.—By order of the Board of Directors,
" H. MALcoum, Manager.
" N.B.—Those Shareholders who have already paid
the full proportion of the borrowed capital, or any part
thereof, on signing the annexed order and returning it
to this office, will be credited with the same on account
of the above call."—Plymouth Journal.

DONC AST ER.—THE HARVEST.—There never has
been known a period of more splendid weather for reap-
ing harvest than that which has marked the present sea-
son. Bright sunny days with grateful breezes., and clear
and tranquil, and, in some instances, frosty nights, have
successively prevailed. Nor, at any former time, has
greater activity prevailed in the fields, than has been the
case this year. Early and late the sickle and the scythe
have been at work ; and the harvest waggons busily em-
ployed in securing the crops in barn or stack. Indeed,
many of the fields have been already ploughed up in pre-
paration for the next crops. We have before alluded to
the thinness of the crop of wheat in some of the higher
localities. But, on the broad scare, the crop is a full
average—if not more. Besides, the grain is of superior
quality. Abundance and cheapness will diffuse around
their manifold advantages, and contribute more in the
way of substantial good than anything else could possibly
do ; while the feeling of gratitude should be awakened
for the blessings of an all-bountiful ProNidence.—Don-
, caster Gazette.

LAND CONIMISSION. —On Saturday the Earl of
Devon, as Chairman of the Commission, took his seat in
the Grand Jury-room, Tralee, together with his brother
Commissioners, Sir Robert Alexander Fergusson, Bart.,
George Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Nicholas Reding-
ton, and John Wynne, Esqs. His Lordship stated that
he was prepared to receive evidence, but regretted that
none of the gentlemen namedwere in attendance. His
Lordship and the other members of the Commission re-
mained at Walpole's Hotel, and thence proceeded yes-
terday to Killarney.—Cork Southern Reporter.
JURISDICTION OF MAGISTRATES.—HORSE-MRS.--
In reply to a statement by a Magistrate of this county,
forwarded for the opinion of the law officers of the
Crown, Mr. Brewster has giveu the following opinion
—" If the owner works with the horse, the hire of both
may be recovered before Magistrates ; but if the owner
does not work with his horse, if he lets out his horse
and a hired person to attend him, or if he lets out his
horse alone, the magistrates have no jurisdiction."—
Tralee Chronicle.

NERVOUS DEAFNESS.—LateIy Dr. Cronin, of
Craven-street, Strand, called the attention of the me-
dical profession to the efficacy of Arnica Montana in the
successful treatment of this distressing complaint. A
paper was read last evening at the Strand Dispensary,
with the intention of pointing out the peculiar cases in
which this medicine has been used, and the result at-

tending its application. In introducing several of the
most distressing, the doctor remarked that all had the
advice of several of the most distinguished aurists in this
country, and many on the Continent, and that others had
submitted to a most painful and useless operation of the
throat, which invariably tended to make the hearing
more imperfect. In illustrating the latter statement, the
lecturer noticed the case of a young man named Ryan,
residing at 13, Holland-Street, Soho-square, who, for
slight deafness, had submitted to this operation, and suf-
fered so much from pain and loss of blood that he was
confined to his bed for a fortnight, from which he got up
very deaf, but by the use of Arnica his hearing was com-
pletely restored. Having forcibly remarked on several
cases similarly treated, the lecturer next alluded to the
following interesting case :—Mr. Dupre, of Jersey, he
remarked, was completely deaf of one ear for thirty
years, in consequence of the explosion of a gun on board
a frigate when in chase of a French frigate ; and that
