STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WooL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 18.—We are unable
to note any improvement in the sales of foreign wool this
week. Priees remain in statu quo.
ENGLISH WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 18. —There has
been little done in sales of wool this week ; the manufacturers
still remaining indisposed to buy snore than they require for
immediate use. Prices of low deep growing wools may be
quoted a shade lower this week.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 18.—There continues
to be even less doing in all descriptions of both long and short
Wools, and prices have suffered a depression of from five to ten
shillings per pack from our quotations of this day fortnight.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—Since the Government plan for the
settlement of the. Corn question has made its appearance, the
state of our Cloth Market has become decidedly worse. In fact,
every one connected with trade seems to be struck with astonish-
ment, that after so many months' consideration, in place of the
Ministers bringing forward a measure such as would tend to
give relief to the manufacturing interest, the plan they propose
can in reality have no other effect than to render the Corn-law
more stringent than before. Confidence in any speedy altera-
tion for the better is consequently lost, so that although this is
the season when considerable purchases are usually made for
the home demand for the spring, as well as for shipment, there
has not been a fourth of the quantity disposed of this week as
is usual at this season ; prices are, in consequence, unremune-
rative. In the warehouses business is correspondingly dull;
the few buyers who have lately been in town have made their
purchases with very great caution, and their operations have
been very trifling, compared to what they usually are.
BRADFORD MARKET,. THURSDAY.—We are sorry that we
cannot announce the slightest improvement in the demand for
pee goods. The merchants appear quite disposed to cease buy-
ing till they see what relief is to be afforded to the commercial
world. Should this continue a few weeks, it will tend to de-
press the condition of the operatives still more, as the mann-
facturers are unwilling to produce goods except to order, of
which we learn but few have been given out since last 1 hurs-
d,,y. Prices are steady. If there is any alteration in the yarn
branch, it is for the worse. Short time is still adhered to,
and thus preventing any accumulation of stocks. Prim firm.
The demands for all kinds of wool is very limited, every one
appearing desirous to use up as closely as possible, seeing no
prospect of imp:oved prices being apparent.— Leeds Mercury.

On Friday last, Thaaas Cordingley, of Wakefield,
boat builder, was brought up at the Court-house, by Mr. Brierley,
charged with forging a bill of exchange for 2051. 10s., bearing date
the 22d of August, 1840, and purporting to be the acceptance of
rime George 'Turner, of Wakefield, vessel owner, with intent to de-
fraud Mr. Abm, Wirnble, of Wortleysmoor, timber merchant. The
nature of the evidence was conclusive against the prisoner, and he
was committed to York Castle for trial at the approaching asidaes
Yor* Courant.
'I he Temps ss, that the Committee on theßudget
has this year decided on not dividing itself into sections, but
oil examining all the details of that measure jointly.

MONEY MARKET knd CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.-1 he verdict of the jury delivered to-dal
in the case of the Bank of England v. Tomkins has led 10
some surprise in the City amongst those interested in the E. 7
chequer, Bills affair ; but we are not aware at present that .I_l_7 ,
,
jury could have had much difficulty in finding for the plaintiff
as we learn that both Lord Montcagle and Mr. Percival swore
directly that the bills in question bore forgeries of their signs'
tures, We are surprised that the counsel for the defender
should have permitted these functionaries to escape so easily.
from the witness-box. If a parcel of the spurious bills Lan
been mixed with the genuine, and they had been ealled upon
to sleet the real from the fictitious, we doubt much if they
could have complied with the request. But the claims of the
bona fide holders for compensation from Parliament
distinct, and remain untouched by this verdict; and Lord
Abinger, we understand, stated so distinctly on 411):
ming up, though the Government have eertainly°
tained this advantage, that they. will come before
s.
Parliament with the verdict of a jury in their la_..
your in a civil process on the plea of forgery, even if the v.er.„
dict should be set aside on a new trial. The bona fide holder'
have, therefore, more cogent reasons than ever for protestl
against the apparent collusion by which Rapallo was slialt
to escape, by which they were shut out from all the bene_.
is total jr.
which must have come out in their favour, either by the eleof
mination of Rapallo as Queen's evidence in the event of
Smith having pleaded not guilty, or from the testimony
n
other witnesses who must have been adduced against its
if he himself had been lsrought to trial. In either of

cases the line of examination and discussion must have ehel
the whole truth, and thus demonstrated that the public ere

ADVERTISER .—The scandalous extortion and delay
practised upon the poorer class of emigrants, by needy
principled shipping agents at the outpnrts, arid even;iooo4

parties in the City, and, as we doubt not, elsewbefes sot
Hitherto the difficulty of effectually checking irnpositl7d the
privation has been sensibly felt by all who have approach rot*
subject. Legislative interference with the shipping intercity
or indeed with any other interest, manufacturing or nie

concerned, is at all times an invidious task; still we releatelit
find that the subject was approached by the late Gore of
