STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD.—We had a good attendance of buyers at our
Piece-hall on Thursday, and an average amount of business
was done in Orleans and Coburga. Saxony cloths and
Merinos are in request, and, not being abundant, better
prices are obtained. In good hog wool suitable for
worsted warps, the demand is good, but weft wools are
only bought for immediate consumption, prices being
considered too high by the spinners. More business is
doing in all kinds of yarn, and better prices aro ob-
tained.

HALIFAX.—We cannot report any change in the
several staple commodities of the market since our last,
as regards either demand or price.
HUDDERSFIELD —ln this town and neighbourhood
there is still an active trade, and a very animated de-
mand for all kinds of heavy goods, and in all kinds of
goods a fair amount of business is being done at mode-
rate prices. _ . _

LE/KlM—The heavy state of the corn-markets, both in
London and the country, and the favourable state of the
weather, has produced more confidence in our cloth mar-
kers ; both on Saturday and Tuesday more than an aver-
age quantity of goods was sold. There have also
been more goods delivered during► the wet-k than ti.
some time past. Tee same causes have al-,o it,dueed
many buyers to visit the town within the last few days ;
in consequence business has been pretty brisk in th.
warehouses.

HECKMONDWICILE BLANKET MAIIKET.—The demand
for blankets continues good. There was a full attend-
ance of merchants to-day, and good samples were readily
bought up.
MANCHESTER.—The tendency downwards of our
cloth-market, which was so visible on Twsday, has,
owing to the fine harvest weather, been stayed, and
that is all that can well be said. The demand is pretty
good, but not extensive, at the full prices current on
Tuesday. There is a good Irish demand for the lower
qualities of manufactured goods, such as fustians, do-
mestics, &c., and will, it is thought, continue. Yarns are
still very buoyant and quick of salt at late prices.

POLICE CHANGES.—We understand that Inspector
Russell, who has so long been employed in attendance on
her Majesty, has been removed from that office, and is
now attached to the A division. No cause has been assigned
for this removal, and as Inspector Ru sell enjoyed the en-
tire confidence of those members of the royal household who
had the best means of estimating his zeal and intelligence,
we can only ascribe his removal to the eapri !e of some
newly-appointed official. He is suceeeied by In.pector
Howie. of the N or Islington division, and the place of Howie
is to be supplied by Inspector Tarleton, of the A division.
Inspector Tarleton has been in this latter division since he
entered the force, and was one of the officers selected for
attendance on the House of Commons when that duty was
transferred to the metropolitan police. His removal from a
district in which he has been so long known and se highly
respected will be a matter of much regret to the inhabitants.
He is a zealous, well-informed, and courteous officer.— Cbserver.
THE ENGLISH AND THE FRENCH ON THE l'oasT
or AFRICA.—The captain of the Drvas, trading %essel, which
ha; arrived at Bordeaux from Sierra. Leone, state; in his re-
port to his owners, that a short time before his arrival at the
Mellaena river, the French Government schooner Mélange,
shish had Leen sent by M. Baudin, tie commander of the
Fr, tali naval station in Africa, entered the river for the per-
pose of rolto:ialing with its chiefs a treaty of commerce, by
wh:01 Freeich were to enjoy the same rights as those granted
to her nations. At. soon, says the captain of the Dryas as
tile Eegi,h heard of th.s proceeding, they sent agents to the
chiefs urging them to bniak the ta eaty, a. d cuter inio another
with England, to the exclu‘ion of all other nations. Oti ex-
periencing the most energetic refusals from one of the prin-
cipal chiefs, named Amaeoid, they abandone4 their proj?cr.
Stich is the statement of the captain of the Dryas ; but it ap-
pears to be founded more on supposition th.sn fact.
TiaP a ticl,nt fir of E usod,
years ago, to b. very celebrate:l, it is said, about to be re.•
vived; if so, it will be held at the same time and in the same
place as formerly, viz., in a field near the Bell Inn, on the
14th of September.
