STATE OF THAiiE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Auc.— I.s.—Salcs in
Foreign Wools have not been very extensive during- the
past week, the unsettled state of the weather imposing
rather a check upon business operations generaily.
Prices, however, are stA ady.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, AUG. 15.—Sales
continue steady, mud prices are firm. Chatting sorts, of
middling qualities, remain very scarce, and are much
inquired for.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Arc. 15. There is no
variation in the wool market since our last report. As
the unfavourable state of the weather of last week had
rather the effect of damping the market, better hopes of
the future have been infused by the favourable change
that has since' taken place.
LEEDS.—The markets at our Cloth halls have been
very dull this week, the principal cause of which has
been the very unsettled state of the w, either, and the
fears entertained in consequence '.'or the harvest. Prices
are firm, and the stocks on hand scarcely an average at
this season of the year. Beavers, pilot cloths, fancy
cloakings, and shawls, are the principal articles selling ;
fine and middle qualities of cloth have been in very
limited demand. Since Tuesday the weather has been
much finer, and more buyers have visi:e I the town, but
they make their purchases with the great,st caution.
There has. however, been a }bile inq went in the
demand for finished goods, as c ,mpared %% kb th amount
of business done during the la, t few weeks.
LEICESTER.—The same steady basiress which we
have noticed for some time past cmtinues (Ling in the
warehouses. Worsted spinners are very busy. There
is no altera,ion in wools and clothing sorts, and noils are
much in request. Great anxiety is f It about tie i harvest,
as upon its being well gathered will dliend the welfare
of trade for the season.—Leicester .Imi, hid.

BRADFORD MARKET, THUR,',DAY.—( 'lir market, the
weather h)-ing tol-ra'ly fine, "ay Rill atte..ded 1)n
Thursday, and a fair amount bai in pie. e goods,
at former prices, was transacted. The wool trade is not
very active, the manufacturers hinging off purchasing at
the present rates. The yarn trade is bri,ler than it has
been for some time past. but p' i, es do not rolv.tnee.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.-T-We nave had
a more limited busincss doil.g it. eloth elks week. cased
no doubt by the uncertainty of thr weather, has
induced some few needy manufacturer; to prt,s4 sales,
and no doubt to accept rather easier terms. The de-
cline, however, is not general, and it may be said, where
it has taken place, is only a shade lower. Spinners con-
tinue to find brisk markets for yarns, and at very full
prices.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. AUG. 15.—Tllire is a
fair supply of Wheat at market to-day, hoid,irs of which
ire firm in demanding last prio(s. Lot the
ness done is not extensive. It, an are held for m re
.f
money. In Oats and Shelling. eo change. In the early
part of the week heavy rains fell, but it is now fine—the
crops are much laid in this district.

The Chancellory of the Duchy t f Schleswic
stein Lauenburgh has just published the following reseript
has come to our knowledge that the singing societies of
Schleswic and Holstein hare adopted a tri- coloured flag which
they carry in their processions and display at their festivals,
with or without the armorial bearings of Schleswic and Hol-
stein. This flag being considered as the symbol of a political
party, and as it may occasion di,orders, we forbid that it. be
henceforth used."

THE GINGER-BEER CASE.—The ndjourned inquest
upon this singular ease, in which a little girl named liuth
Goldsmith died after drinking a portion of the contents of sc
ginger-beer bottle, was resumed on Tuesday last, when 1)r.
Brett stated, that, on analyzing the contents of the stomach,
he had found arsenic, which he had no doubt had caused death;
He entirely freed Mr. Evans from blame. and considered the
mode in which his ginger-beer was manufactured to be a harm:-
less and proper method. The jury, after a short absence front
the Court, returned a verdict to th::, effect that the child came
to its death by arsenic, administered by the father unknowingly,
from a ginger-beer bottle, but that there was no evidence to
show how it came there. The Coroner suggested to Mr.
Evans, anti, through him, to every ginger-beer manufacturer,
the propriety of looking, if possible, more carefully to the
washing of their bottles.—Liverpool Albion.
13RISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 15 —lloth r. fiiaers
and grocers continue to take off everything that is brought for-
ward, and prices have still an upward tendency. The con-
sumption is going on very satisfactorily, and the trade seem to
have confidence that present rates will be at least suppwled.—
