STATE OF TRADE.
FOREION WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 0.--Theta has
been an animated demand for most descriptions of 'o-
reign Wools this week, and the sales effect( d have been
considerable in amount. The high rites wools are
realising in the foreign markets gives, likewi,e, a very
firm tone to prices in this market.
YORK WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 6.-r—The. market was
very badly attended today, and the show of wool only
very small ; not much b tsiness was done. Prices me
steady. Mixed tops of hog
.and ewe realising 14s, to
1.55. per store.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 6.—The markt t
-continues much in the same state, and both combing and
short wools are held at stationary prices ; but sales have
again been wry 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 tune.
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 ler tome
years, at this period of the year. Prier s remain :tt ady.
There has alto been a full aw rage amount of busing ss
done .in the warehouses this week. The state of the
harvest,•and the downv,ard tendency of the corn mat kets,
induce the buyers to purchase with mere spirit. On the
whole, the aspect of trade is brighter than for many
years, with the prospect of good empl. yrnent in the ma-
nufacturing districts during the %slut
TRADE OF HOLMFIRTIL—During
.the laq month
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 ruin the
mills have all been in full operation. Etcry branch of
worknien 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 most bountiful harvest, we may fairly pre.
sume that this district will be blest wish a flourishing
trade for a length of time to come. Cannot our manu-
facturers now discern the connection between cheap foe('
and increased markets ?

HECIEMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, SEPT. s.—The
attendance at this market both on Monday and to-day
has been good, and the demand for gmds unabated.
The transacted both by sample and to order has
been-greater than for some Thursdays past.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY -EV EN INC.—We
have had on the whole but a dullish week for most kinds
of cloth, with prices for nearly all kinds and qualities
rather in favour of the buyer. The market is very flat
indeed fur such goods as are generally purchased on
7lndia, and' China. account. The bothe 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:—On Sunday even-
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 birdsC 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 rcd sand-
stone, through which the cuttings, here very deep, will
have to be excavated for a considerable distance. etc -

been issued by the Directors to the Shareholders:—

DOSCASTEIL—THE iiinVES T.—There never ha.,
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 score, the crop is a full
average—if not more. Besides, the grain is of superior
quality: Abundance and cheapness will diffuse 'around
their maßifold 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 Providence.—Don-
caster Gazette.

LAND COMMISSION. —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, Bait,
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 named were in attendance. His
Lordship and the other members of the Commission re-
mained at Walpole's Hotel, and thenee proceeded yes-
terday to Killarney. —Cork Southern Reporter.
JURISDICTION OF MAGISTRATES.—HORSE-IfIRR:
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 given 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 DEArNEss.--Lately 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 hid
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
