STATE OF TRADE.

---
BRADFORD.—We had a good attentlance cf buy, rs at our
Piece-ball on Thursday, and an average amount of business
was done in Orleans and Coburgs. Saxony cloths and
Merinos are in request, and, not being abundant, better
prices are obtained. In good hog wool suitable for
worsted warps, the demand is good, but weft wools are
only bought for immediate consumption, prices being
considered too high by the spinners. More business is
doing in all kinds of yarn, and better prices are ob-
tained.
HALIFAX.—We cannot report any change in the
several staple commodities of the market since our last,
as regards either demand or price.
HUDDERSFIELD this town and neighbourhood
there is still an active trade, and a very animated de-
mand for all kinds of heavy goods, and in all kinds of
goods a fair amount of business it being-done at mode-
rate prices.

LEEDS.—The heavy state of the corn-markets, both in
London and the country, and the favourable state of the
weather, has produced more confidence in our cloth mar-
kets ; both on Saturday and Tuesday more than an aver-
age quantity of goods was sold. There have also
been more goods delivered during the week than for
some time past. The same causes have also induced
many buyers to visit the town within the last few days ;
in consequence business has been pretty brisk in the
warehouses.

HECKIeONDWICKE BLANKET MARKET.—The demand
for blankets continues good. There was a full attend-
ance of merchants to-day, and good samples were readily
bought up,
MANCHESTER,—The tendency downwards of our
cloth-market, which was so visible on Tuesday, has,
owing to the fine harvest weather, been stayed, and
that is all that can well be sad. The demand is pretty
good, but not extensive, at the full prices current on
Tuesday. There is a good Irish demand for the lower
qualities of manufactured goods, such as fustians, do-
mestics, &c., and will, it is thought, continue. Yarns are
still very buoyant and quick of sal. at late prices.

EXTRAORDINARY INQUEST.—An inquest, ifl4tituted
by letters patent under the great seal, was opered at the
York :Hotel, Brighton, on Saturday, Mr. Is.oratio Wad-
dington and Mr. G. Maule, barristers, and Mr. H. Upperton,
solicitor, being constituted commissioners, for the purpose
of ascertaining whether Maurice Alfred Barrow, formerly
a solicitor, at East Grinstead, and latterly residing at
Brighton, had died seised of freehrild property, which for
want of heirs devolved on her Majesty as an escheat by virtue
of the royal prerogative. A jury having been empanelled
Mr. Waddington stated the nature of the case, which he said
had seldom occurred of late yef:.rs, although escheats were fre-
quent in by-gone days. He then called evidence, which esta-
blished the following.facti: --The deceased, Mr. Barrow, made
his will in 1834, giving certain specific legacies, and devising
ar.d bequeathing the residue and remainder of the estate and
effects to his wife, under certain conditions. Subsequently,
deceased obtained an enfranchisement of certain copyhtild,
property, which he possessed in Brighton ; after which.
without altering or republishing his will, he died.
This property, consisting of a nest of cottages,
called France and Durham, at the top of.
North-street, were subsequently removed to form
an approach to the railway terminus, and a portion of the
i
site is now in the market as building ground. On nvesti-,
gating the title, it appeared that the enfranchised property
did not pass by will to the widow, as part of the residue of
the estate, it being freehold property subsequently acquired;
and the deceased having no children, inquiry was •made for
the collateral heirs, when it was discovered that the de-
ceased had none, he being an illegitimate child, and, conse-
quently, by the law of England, having no father or mother,
or collateral relations. The only mode of enabling the.widow
to complete the title was to take proceedings to declare the
property escheated to the Crown, in which event the Crown.
