STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. 21.—The sales
effected in foreign wools this week have been only very mo-
derate in extent, but prices remain steady.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, Nov. 21.—We have
not any alteration to report this week. Sales are limited, and
prices rather lower.
LEEDS.—There have been very flat markets at both our
Cloth-halls during the present week. Little is doing except
assorting very sparingly for stock and for direct orders. The
manufacturers have been acting with great caution for some
time, and there is scarcely half the quantity of goods making
as compared with their operations two months ago. The con-
sequence is that there is no great accumulation of stock, not-
withstanding the dull markets of the last few weeks. Prices
are steady. There have been very few buyers in the town
during the week, and in consequence business has been as
usual at this season dull in the warehouses.

Trade in the neighbourhood of Dewsbury has so fallen off
that several mills which wrought full time have now begun
to work only by daylight.
LEICESTER.—The ordinary dullness at this season pervades
the general trade. The stock in the manufacturer's hands is
light. The fancy hosiery and glove demand has fallen off
this week. No alteration has taken place in the price of
yarns; woolstaplers not being able to purchase at remunera-
ting prices from the farmers, are firm in holding stock.—
Leicester Journal, Friday.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The business doing in
wool is only trifling, and chiefly in matching sorts, of which
the supply in the market is fully equal to the demand. Low
hogs and wethers are only in slight request, and may be had
a shade cheaper. We regret we cannot learn anything more
cheering in yarn. The Inclination to curtains in no way
lessened, but daily additions are made to the number of those
who are working short time. The number of unemployed
work-people is considerable, and the prospect for the winter
is very dreary. The business done in pieces is very similar
to last week, without any alteration in price.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—In business matters
are getting as dull and depressed as they can well be; the
sudden re-action is becoming alarming, let the cause be
what it may. Shirtings of low qualities are 10 per cent.
lower, and yarns 11Ad. to 134 d. per jb. lower than they were
when quotations were the highest. Our merchants' stocks
may be safely said to have deteriorated 10 per cent. in value
within the last two months; which, on stocks of 100,000/.
value—and there are many such—is very serious. The
market closes heavily, and will no doubt further recede.
Yarns are also dull, as well as lower.
STATE OF THE LACE AM) HOSIERY TRADEB.—The de-
pression in the lace trade still continues, though it is ex-
pected the buyers now in the market will clear off a fair

LIGHTING 'ffLIIINES BY ELECTRICITY.—M. Delarive
has succeeded; in obtaining a brilliant light for lighting
mines by the galvanic battery. His pile is composed of
several
l cylinders,concentric cylinders of copper or platina, separated by
porous
and forming a series of four or five couples.
An amalgam of liquid zinc, or what is preferred, an amalgam
of potassium, is the positive metal; and a solution of sul-
phate of copper, for copper cylinders, and chloruret of platina
for platina ones. The difficulties in maintaining a constant
light has been overcome by employing small hollow cylinders
of coke, similar to those used in Bunsen's pile, but smaller,
and arranged like the wicks of a lamp. A ring, or disc, of
metal is placed above these, and of the same diameter; and
the electric current thus passes between the two. The cur-
rent must be made to pass from the coke cylinder, that the
particles of carbon, which are carried off, may fall again by
their own weight. The whole is placed in a glass globe,
which must be hermetically scaled. There is no occasion to
form a vacuum in it, as the small portion of oxygen is so soon
absorbed; but it must be carefully excluded from the outer
atmosphere. The pile is fitted with two metalic wires—one
communicating with the cylinder of charcoal, and the other
with the metallic conductor.
FLOGGING AND IMPIIISoNMENT IN THE ARMY AIM
NAVY.—It appears by Parliamentary papers, that in the five
years 1839 to 1843 inclusive, flogging in the army and navy
was inflicted on British soldiers, seamen, and marines, in
14,813 cases, being at the rate of 24t cases of corporal
punishments in every month of the aforesaid period. It fnr-
titer appears by the same document that there were 41,863
commitments of soldiers to prison, being at the rate of 689
commitments per month, during the five years aforesaid.
