STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JULY B.—There have
been a few arrivals of new wools from Germany, which has
eaused a little more activity in the trade this week ; but prices
remain unchanged.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JULY B.—The trans-
actions in English wools have been very limited this week, the
stocks of those sorts most in demand being very scarce in this
mat ket ; in prices we cannot quote any alteration.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 2.—The show of wool has
been very large here to-day, but there was only a moderate
attendance of buyers. The market has ruled heavy, and
although a great many sales have been made, in most cases
they were in favour of the buyer. The following are the
prices : best quality, lOd, to 100. ; inferior, do., 9d. to 9d.;
locks and cots, 7d. to Bd. per lb.
DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, JULY 2.—We had again a
very large supply of wool at market, with a numerous attendance
of buyers. Notwithstanding the weather was showery, a good
business was transacted, [but the continued depression of trade
in the manufacturing districts caused a further decline in prices
of about 3d. per stone. Only a few sheets remained unsold.
Hog wool, 12s. to 12s. 9d. per stone ; Hog and Ewe, 10s. to
I Is. 6d. ; Ewe, 10s. to I Is. ; Locks, 6s. 6d. to 75.; One-third
•
Hog, Lincolnshire, Ils. to I Is. 6d.

l'itA DE OF LEEDS.—We have the same unpleasant report to
make of the state of our cloth markets that we have had for
some timepast. There is certainly no alteration this week for
the better, and the little that is doing is in fancy cloakings,
beavers, and pilot cloths, for the winter trade, and which are
selling at such prices as will not remunerate the manufacturer.
Business is unusually dull in the warehouses; the few buyers
who make their appearance in the market are scarcely buying
half the quantity they usually do at this season.
BRADFORD MARKET, Tnuasnmr.—Theattendance of mer.
chants at the Piece Market to-day is an average, and a fair
amount of business has been transacted, but without any ad-
vance in prices. The curtailment alluded to last week gains
ground, and spinners are more generally adopting the short-
time system, being their only alternative to save themselves
from ruin. We cannot report any improvement in prices,
which augurs ill for the working classes. There is no impor-
tant change in wool since our last report; the market is not
well supplied, and prices remain firm.—Leeds Mercury.

RIAGES.

Lord CAMPBELL said he wished to put a ques-
tion to the:Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack,
as to whether it was the intention of Government to
make any regulation on the subject of locking passen-
gers in railway carriages. He need only refer to the
frightful accident which had lately occurred on the
railway in Paris to show the necessity of this.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he could give
no satisfactory answer on the subject, as his Noble
Friend at the head of the Board of Trade, was not in
the House. He (the Lord Chancellor) had been
locked up in a railway carriage that morning, and he
found no inconvenience.—(Laughter.)
Earl FITZWILLIAM presented a petition from
the Young Men's Free Trade Association of Glas-
gow, in favour of Free Trade.
The House then adjourned.

REPRESENTATION OF WAKEFIELD.—We see, by
the Leeds Mercury, that Air. Lascelles has declined
to accede to the request of the Electors of Wakefield,
and resign his seat, which he owes to a decision of the
House of Commons, contrary to the expressed wishes
and votes of the majority of the electors of that
borough. If the House of Commons may in one case
elect a Member contrary to the wishes of the majority
of ' the electors, it _ may do so in all, and it would be
advantageous, probably, to public morality—it would
spare the commission of much bribery, lying, intimi-
dation, and coercion, were that Hon. House to nomi-
nate its successor. In Mr. Lascelles's case, the return-
ing officer, Mr. Holdsworth, was elected by the ma-
:ority, and when an election Commitee unseated Mr.
'Holdsworth, because he was disqualified to sit, it had
no business nor right to seat. Mr. Lascelles. In that
case a Committee of the House of Commons 'have
usurped the rights of the electors, and Mr. Lascelles
wrongfully sits in Parliament for Wakefield.
We direct the attention of our humane readers to a
letter respecting the Royal British Female Asylum, at
I)evonport. It expresses feelings in which all who are
grateful for the services rendered to the country by our
brave soldiers and sailors will concur, and when such a
small sum is wanted for the benevolent purpose of pro-
viding an asylum for their orphans, we cannot believe
that the appeal to the public will be made in vain.

A letter from Belgrade, May. 4, in the Augsburg
Gazette, states that a plot had been discovered at Kragojevax
(Servia) in the course of last month. The object of the con-
spirators was to pillage the town and assassinate the adminis-
trator of the district, who had rendered himself odious by his
vexatious exactions. Trade was in a state of stagnation for
four days, and the most exact surveillance was observed over
the Greeks, Servians, and Bulgarians. By the last intelligence
it a ears that tranquillity had been completely restored.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Ptibite eptutou.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
The discussion on the treaty for the right of search is
again a leading feature in the original columns of the
Paris journals, but as there is nothing novel in what they
now say, and as our readers must be pretty well tired
with the subject, we abstain from giving extracts.
The National makes some severe remarks on the
late Court Ball in London, as being a striking and offen-
sive contrast to the profound misery of the working
classes. One of the London journals having in its
account of the ball said that the quantity of diamonds
was so great that it could defy any other country to
.pro-
duce the like, the National places in juxta-position
with this defiance extracts from several of the papers,
showing the poignant distress of the multitude. Our
Contemporary, for the purpose of giving a good
climax to the article, notices the recent, and certainly
in foreign eyes at least, not very creditable facts avowed
in the House of Commons with reference to the practices
at elections. Having done.this, the National says—" We
have thought it right to place these two political 'facts
(the misery of the people and the admission of the exist-
ence of certain practices at elections), by the side of the
information about the profusion of diamonds. It is cer-
tainly true that there is no country in Europe which has
so much, wealth as England, but there is also none that
offers an example of such odious misery and suet bare-
faced corruption."
The question of the religious observance of the Lord's
Day, which is again brought before the public by the
discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the
Address of the Archbishop and Clergy of Paris to
the King on the Ist instant, is noticed by some of
the Journals, but, generally speaking, not in so con-
secutive a way as to admit of our giving extracts.
The following observations are -made by the Temps :
We are far from declaring that the rest of the Sab-
bath is not necessary. If the Divine Legislator made it
a religious law, he did it because he knew thiit the mul-
titude were incapable of 'reasoning.. But it is a law of
political economy, as much 'as one of religion—public
health, humanity-, the best mode of employing the
strength of a nation, declaee in its favour. We should
desire to see the conviction of this truth penetrate into
every mind; and it is really annoying to see a good cause
compromised by weak advocates, who do not understand
it, and who, above all, do not preach by example."
MONEY—TRADEI-100NIAIERCE.
The city of Hamburgh has several times suffered at former
periods from extensive inundations. In 1510 the Elbe over-
flowed it, and damaged it to the extent of 5,000,000 of marks;
in 1771 a like calamity destroyed merchandise and property of
nearly 13,000,000 marks value ; and in 1790 the river rose to
the height of 20 feet, occasioning incalculable loss and many
lives.

INCREASE OF PAUPERISM.

In 1839, for the quarter ending in March, there were,
in the township of Kendal alone, 618 paupers ; in 1840,
the number was 953 ; in 1841, it increased to 1,091 ; and
in the same quarter of the current year we have no less
than 1,351, which with the addition of 154 for Kirkland,
makes the deplorable number Of 1,505 individuals, or
one eighth of the population, receiving relief.
•In 1839, the expenditure for. Kendal alone was, for
the March quarter, 6141. 13s. ld. ; in 1840, 819/. 4s. 6d.;
in 1841, it rose to 9111. Gs, 5d.; and this year it amounts
to 1,095/. Os. 1 id.

But we have not even yet done. The agricultural town-
ships present, if possible, a still worse picture. They
are experiencing the truth of that saying—" He that
sows to the wind shall reap the whirlwind." The manu-
facturing districts, unable any longer to support the
numbers which formerly found homes and employment
among them, are now sending back to their parishes the
surplus population ; and the farmers, in addition to the
loss which they have to sustain in the depreciation of
their stock from the badness of trade, have also to sup-
port all who, from some cause, have been reduced to
destitution.
Such are the results of the Corn-laws ! • Such ever
will be the operation of unjust legislation. A fancied, or
at best a temporary good, which operates only on a class,
must eventually re-act with tenfold calamity upon the
heads of those for whose gain injustice is perpetrated
upon the people at large.
But let us go into the case, as it affects the interests of
our own locality. In the March quarter of 1839, the
number of paupers in the 55 agricultural townships of
the Kendal Union, exclusive of Kirkland and Kendal,
.was 1,602 ; in the same quarter of 1840 it rose to 2,028 ;
in 1841 it was 2,179 ; and this year the number is stated
at 2719, or oue thousand one hundred and seventeen
more than in 1839

In the first quarter of 1839 these townships spent for
the •maintenance of their poor, 1,879/. 135., while this
year the cost was 2,2771. 25., an increase at the rate of
One thousand six hundred pounds per annum.—Kendal

BRIDPORT.

Sir J. WALSH gave notice of his intention to
move as an amendment to the motion of the Hon.
Member for Liskeard, in reference to the borough of
Bridport, that the words, " whether bribery has taken
place in that town " be left out.
POOR-LAWS.

Mr. ESCOTT gave notice that, on the considera-
;ion of the Poor-law Continuance Bill, he should move

that it be lawful for Boards of Guardians
of the poor to grant such relief to poor persons as
they might deem necessary, in their own houses, any
orders of the Poor-law Commissioners notwithstanding.
