STATE OF TRADF.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, AUG. s.—This
branch of trade remains in about the same state as for
the last two or three weeks. There is a better supply of
new wools than a month ago ; the manufacturers buy
cautiously and sparingly to supply their current require-
ments. Prices are quoted the same as last week.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Atro. s.—We have
had many buyers in the market this week, who, in con-
sequence no doubt of the present prospects of a good
harvest, have purchased pretty freely. Prices are very
firm, and no fears arc now entertained of their being
any lower.
HULL WOOL MARKET.—On Tuesday there was a
short supply, nearly the whole of which was sold at
rather lower prices, averaging about 10d. per lb.
DUBLIN WOOL MARKET, AUG. 3.—Our market has
been thinly supplied with wools this week again, and all
has been bought up freely at the usual prices. The
weather for the last fortnight has been all that we could
desire, and this causes the farmer to be more indepen-
dent. Although our accounts from the manufacturing
districts in England, and those of France are alike
gloomy, we are sorry to add, that there is -now no ex-
pectation of growers and holders of wool submitting to
lower prices till compelled by necessity. All wethers
sell for 15s. and all hogg for 16s.

TRADE OF LEEDS.-:---iVe have nothing cheering to re-
port of the state of our cloth markets this week. The
markets at both Halls have been quite as dull as for
some months past, more particularly for fine and middle
qualities of cloths. The present demand is principally
confined to low priced beavers, pilot cloths, and fancy
cloakings. The stocks of goods generally are not large,
and prices generally are without alteration. Business
still continues very dull in the warehouses, although a
little better than it has been during the last few weeks.
TRADE OF BOLIKFIRTO.—The clothiers in this district
report very unfavourably of the market on Tuesday,
and there arc no symptoms of improvement yet appa-
rent in the manufacturing departments. '
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.---The continued flee
weather, and the prospect of an auspicious harvest, have
evidently tended to cheer the minds of our merchants,
who appear to be actuated with the impression that the
autumn trade will be fully an average, and are purchasing
more freely, and the piece market is only barely sup-
plied with Orleans cloths, Parisian figures, and other
fancy articles, which are ready sale, and late prices fay
maintained.. We learn that more inquiries are macie for
yarns, likewise more sales effected than for some weeks
past ; yet we cannot hear of any improvement in prices,
to induce the spinners to extend their operations. The
wool market continues to be well supplied with all kinds
of English wools, as also a large quantity of colonist, '
from the auction sales just ended. The spinners stifi
continue to purchase very sparingly, and what sa)-es are
effected arc at a slight reduction.
TRADE OF BARNSLE4.—The lillprOVeregnit in the trade
of this town, and respecting which there was a current
rumour last week, proves to be in. some measure correct.
The increase in the manufacture of fancy drills is snore
in anticipation of the market, than arising out of positive
orders received ; but the ortlers for other branches of the
manufactures at this glaceare sensibly increased ; and it
is satisfactory to state, that upwards of sixty families
have ceased to depend on the relief fund in consequence.

A delay having occurred in the arrival of Lord
Nugent and Mr. Thompson,
Sir JOHN EASTHOPE, Bart., came forward,. and said,
he felt great pleasure in telling them that the canvass
was proceeding very well.—(Cheers.) Their ommenta
were so well satisfied with the canvass as to soy they
were confident of success, and that. there was northing
left for them to do but to express that confidence. Ile
believed the meeting were of a different opinion. There
was something else to do. They (the Tories) must pur-

what had the Toeies done ? They brought ;at a sham
corn reform measure, which had done no good.—(Hear.)
They had increased taxation. They had put a tax on
industry, a tax which would oblige the masters to reduce
the wages of the artisan.—(Cheers.)
At this moment Lord Nugent arrived and preseinail
himself on the balcony, when he was greeted with ;mid
and long-continued cheering. The Noble Lord had just
commenced 'his address when G. Thompson, Esq.; at,
rived and came forward. his appearance was the signal_
for renewed cheering, which was continued for some time
Lord NUGENT said he would begin with what at ';cie
present moment interested those who heard him. periaaps
more than any other subject. lie had all day, as it was
his duty. for their common cause, been endeavouring to
persuade himself what were the grounds On which that
cause stood in Southanipton. He had been all day can-
vassing, and he now told them that he belieyeel they had
a fair chance; and he called on them to go in with him-
self and his lion. Friend and win.—(Cheers.) He had.
been well received, not on his own account, but on ac-
count of the cause he humbly represented, and 'ate
had received cordial promises from persous who be
was told had been before afraid of pledging their pro-
mises to a candidate, fearful of beingxtuushed for doing
so. • New he knew that unless their antagonists bribed
grossly, lie and his Honourable Friend must win.—
(Loud cheers.) And if they did bribe, let them look.
to themselves. There was a Parliament which, if pro-
voked a third time by Southampton, might be tempted
to the strongest measures of :punialiment, and there was
a receptacle open .for corruptors called Newgate. He
warned the Tories to beware. If they were brought.
before the Legislature a third time they tould be sen-
tenced as incorrigible. To the briber—no quarter
would call on his antagonists to make the sane declaration
as he would do on Saturda v—he would give his word as
a man of honour that he had net er in his life bribed,
and that if he found that any friend or agent had done
him so much wrong as to offer a voter a bribe on his be-
half, from that moment he would retire from the cone
test.—(Cheers.) Ile would go through this struggle
with the assistance of his friend Mr. Thompson, and test
whether there were enough honest men within to save the
city. If they WOll, the honour of Southampton would tea
saved. If they failed, a t least they should have all that was:
honourable and incarruptible in Southampton as the
partners of their defeat.—(Loud cheering.)
GEonon Tnomrsox, Esq., then addressed the as-
semblage. lie congratulated the friends of independence
and purity of election on the. progress of the canvass
during the last two days.--4 Cheers.) The reception he
had met with throughout the town gave him confidence
that within four days they would see the people *fa
Southampton rise from the mire into- which they lead
been cast by the enemies of the constitution and the
enemies of the popular cause ; and that, inaaelad of
standing before the. eyes of their countrymenand disgraced by the pollution of bribery t.nd suborna-
tion, time constituency would vindicate their claim to

opinions in his favour. Let them have their 'anyasand

they belonged': Tile way to carry a great, rerannatian
was for men to talk about it, to meet at tiac earners of the
streets, to discuss it in their worksin and their homes.
Ile was encouraged by the canvass as fits as he had been able:
to prosecute it. lie had resorted to no dishonouralade
means for the purpose of obtaining promises. The honest
grasp of the man in the street who told him he anculd
have one hundred votes if he could give them, ccavinced
him it was only necessary for a man to plant itimseif on
principle, be consistent, and abhor the thing that is base
and dishonourable, and the people will honour and sup-
port him, carry him on to the goal of victory, and plant
their laurels on his brow. If he and his uobl© colleague.
had nothing else to recommend the to the notice of tfAs
costituency, whatever might be tirlr political views, tlaey
would be at least entitled to ilteir conscientious aripro-
bation for coming forward as they did, to cast theraselves
upon their holiest -coraactions and unbought suffrages.
But they had mere than this to recommend them to ere

liament . for no other object than to be add.itionally

tion of a bribe when in Parliament.. Ile here pledged
himself to return his trust to the constituency, should
there
be anything in his conduct after being elected in-
consistent with the plain and irrevocable pledges he had
given in this town.--(Cheers.) Before he bade theta
good night he would say a word .on the prospect before
them. • He believed there was not so much tranquillity
in the Tory camp as the silence that reigned there
would seem to indicate.(Cheera.) It was for them to
be active, vigilant, energetic, and persevering, till four.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—____BiaCkheatht ()nee
so notorious as the scene of some, of the most dt.-silerate
highway robberies, has been for many years freefrom so
daring an attack as that made on Thursday night. Mr.
Lovegrove, the proprietor of the Crown and Sceptre
Tavern, Greenwich, and of the York Hotel, Bridge-
street, Blackfriars, left his house to accompany a rela-
tive over the heath, about nine o'clock on Thursday
evening. He had passed alone. the upper wall of Green-
wich-park, from the top of alone. the
towards Mont-
pelier-row, and there parted with his friend. The night.
was closing in, and by the time he reached the claw,-
' roads near Vanburgh-fields, it had become so dark Vast
he did not perceive two men, who had been follo,,vine•
hies. They carefully watched an opportunity, and:
springing from behind, threw him on his back with a
violent blow on the head. lie cried out "'murder,"
which one of the men, in a glazed hat, partly stifled by
griping his throat. The other villain ripped up his
clothes from top to bottom, dragged a valuable gold
watch and guard from his neck (breaking the latter)
taking his cravat, and whatever else they could find.
Ile had left home without a purse. By this time. fortu-
nately for him, he had become so insensible that he
made- no h

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Mademoiselle Caroline,
from the Cirque Olympique, made her debut on Friday
at this popular place of entertainment, and we suspect
that the French reputation of her birth did as much for
her success amongst us as her attributed naissanct Lees-
saise did for her in France. Fashion is a strange and
wayward thing ; yet Mademoiselle Caroline richly de-
serves all the success which she has obtained by her very
