increased activity in
LEEDS, JAN. 2I.—A slight improvement has been
prospects for the future are rather more favourable. The
the sales of English Wool. Prices remain stationary.
We are still without any inprovement in the demand fur
roulgVhotolarrn
goods at our Cloth-halls this week, the quantity sold
being quite as small as for the last few weeks past, and
prices continue to be unremunerating. In the ware-
houses business continues equally dull ; very few buyers
having been in the market since the commencement of
the year.
MANCHESTER, JAN. 20.—Our Cloth Market is again
nearly as dull as ever it has been known, and the excep-
tions are so few, and the variation in value so very small,
that it can hardly be said of the manufacturers generally,
that their condition is the least improved. Many are
buoying themselves up with the hope that the opening
of the new Parliament will give an impetus to the dull-
ness that exists, whilst the more sober part think that
there is nothing but a war of competition to be waged
with our foreign rivals, and that things, if they perma-
nently improve at all, will do so but very slowly. Yarns
are also dull sale, and quantitiescannot be sold even at old
rates.—Leeds Mercury.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
WORCESTER, JAN. 21.—We have scarcely any new
Hops offering for sale in our market, the planters having
sold their growths early in the season. The few parcels
left on hand command firm prices, and choice samples
are scarce to be met with. tire have had more demand
for Old Hops since Christmas.
Boßouou, JAN. 20.—We have had more business
doing than is usual at this season of the year, and higher
rates are expected as the Spring demand comes on.

PRoPutTY TAX.—We have just learned that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer is busily engaged in
prosecuting series of ',lupine?, winch tend to show
that Ministers have it seriously in contemplation to im-
pose a property tax for the purpose of improving the
revenue. We believe 5 per cent. is the sum now under
consideration,—Carlisle Journal.

LITERAItir ta7llD SCIENTIPIC.
On the tempestuous night of Wednesday week Enek's comet
was above the horizon of Paris, and if the weather had allowed,
might have been seen in the constellation of Pisces, being at a
distance of 66,000,000 leagues from the earth.
At a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, on Mon-
day, a communication from Mr. Schoolcraft recounted the
discovery of remains of the Welsh Britons in the Ohio valley
of America. One, known as Moundville, on the coast of Vir-

feet of earth, having on the summit an oak, was, by its cortical
layers, probably erected about 1030.

X.Alif AND POLI:CM.
Yesterday three gentlemen waited on the Lord Mayor at the
Mansion-house to complain of a very extraordinary species of
swindling to which no doubt many executors daily fall victims.
In the case of the deceased parties the swindlers have been in
the habit of going to Docters'-commons, examining the will,
taking down the names and addresses of the executors, draw-
in a bill, forging the name of the deceased to it, and suing the
executors for the amount. Tie Lord Mayor expressed him-
self determined to investigate any sue.h of these cases rigorously.
Richard Jenkins, a well-dressed young man, was yesterday
charged at Marlborough-street, on suspicion of being concerned
in the jewel-robbery at Mrs. Alaesham's, Berkeley-square, to
the amount of about 4001. The evidence being at present in-
conclusive, he was ordered to be remanded for a week.
The trials of Joseph Wilkes and three others, for the wilful

ALARMING FIRE.

This morning, about half-Tait two o'clock, a fire took place
in the house of Air. Jardine, a chemist and druggist, in
Drury-lane, nearly opposite Great Queen-street, Long acre.
It originated in the back parlour, on a level with the shop,
and the first intimation the family received of the danger to
which they were exposed was by their having been awoke by
smoke. With great presence of mind Mr. Jardine, his wife,
children, and servants snatched up what apparel laid near
them, and all hope of escape basing been cut off at the
bolom of the house, they managed to reach the roof,
when, after some difficulty, they were assisted into the
house of Mr. Perryman, eating-house keeper, of Long-
acre. The police-officers of the F division, with Mr. Inspector
Musgrove at their head, soon procured an engine from a neigh-
bouring brewery, and quickly afterwards twelve others belong-
ing.to the London Establishment, West of England, and County
stations, also arrived, but notwithstanding all the exertions of
the firemen, the entire stock, furniture, and building of Air.
Jardine were destroyed, as also the greaterpirt of the property
of Mr. Walker, upholsterer, adjoining. We regret to state
that one of the firemen, in coming down a stair with the hose,
fell with great violence on his back, and was carried in a dan-
gerous state to Charing. cross Hospital.

The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the Bth says
"The rage for emigration to Monte Video, far from having sub-
sided, has increased, and no ono can say where it will stop. On
Thursday last the Chateaubriand and the Jeune Marseillais
sailed from Passages for 11lonte Video with about 600 passen-
gers, and three other vessels, the Cyrus, Gabriel, end Trois
Freres, are preparing to leave Passages with emigrants for the
same destination."

ALARMING FIRE.—DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON

consequence of a most destructive fire breaking out, on the
extensive cotton factory belonging to Mr. Yorke, situated in

within a short distance of Shoreditch church. We are sorry to
say that. not a ves►ige of either the building or its contents could

the calamity upwards ofone hundred hands will be thrown out
of employment.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Vitiaitt eptntost.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

With the exception of a few more observations on the last
accounts from India, there is scarcely anything of the slightest
interest in the original columns of the Paris journals. The
Constitutionnel, alluding to the disasters in India, expresses
its regret at the great loss of human life with which the retreat
of the British troops was attended, but adds that the lesson is an
useful one as a check upon the inordinate ambition of England.
The Courrier Francais merely observes on the energy dis-
played by Sir Robert Peel on this occasion, which is, it says,
entitled to general praise.
The National thinks the sun of British greatness is setting,
for, says this journal, England is isolated in the world; Russia
is straining every nerve to embarrass and weaken her ; her
alliance with France is at an end ; her empire in th! East is
tottering, and she is wasting her strength in a hopeless war
against China.

The accoupts from the French coast of the disasters occa-
sioned by the storm of Wednesday night a-e distressing, but
those from Granville the most so. Here, upwards of twenty
fishing vessels were driven from their anchors. Five were cast
on the rocks, and totally wrecked with all their cargoes ;
five were driven on to the oyster-beds; and others, though
by incredible exertions they were got into the harbour, sus-
tained great damage. The amount of the loss is estimated
at 300,000 f. A great number of the sailors are missing.
Some are known to have been drowned, and others have
sustained severe injuries. Upwards of 3,000 persons were
engaged next morning along the shore, exerting themselves
in collecting such dead bodies as were thrown upon it,
succouring those who were still alive, but injured, and endea-
vouring to save as much of the wreck as possible. The old
port of Granville has suffered great damage from the tempest.
Several small vessels have been lost at the mouth of the
Seine, and an English schooner, the Margaret, Captain Corrie,
was wrecked near Havre the same night ' • but the crew, six in
all, were saved. Several small vessels have gone on shore to
the east and the west of Calais, and among them the English
collier brig Minerva, Captain Jenny, for Guernsey. The crew
were saved. A French lugger was lost with all her crew. At
Boulogne several small vessels have been wrecked, and it is
believed that the loss of life has been considerable. It is re-
ported that an American three-masted vessel, name unknown,
has been totally lost with all on board.
The Madrid Gazette, of the 7th, contains a circular letter
from the Minister of Justice, ordering the seizure and de-
struction of all copies of a work on the " Allocution of his
Holiness Pore Gregory XVI. against the hypocritical and
malignant manifesto of the Spanish Government " published
and printed at Toulouse, in France, by Father Magin Ferrer.
The Madrid Cabinet has ordered satisfaction to be given to
the French Corsul at Barcelona, fur the insults heaped on the
King of the French, by the Republican Constitutionel of
that town.

The fresh arrivals of grain have been small. Good Wheat

More money was demanded for Oats, as the quantity has been
much reduced. Flour met a dull sale.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL•
There was a rod supply of Meat ; the butchers bought ra-
ther largely, and prices were roily sustained. Of. Game and
Poultry we had an abundant supply, but the demand was not
l►vely, and prices inclined to give way. Eggs in good demand,
at 4s. 6d. to 6s. 6d per 120.
COLONIAL MARKET.
Prices firm, and a lair business was transacted. Raw Sugar
met a fair sale, and holders were firm, West India Brown
575. to 60s. Yellow. 61s. to 695. per cwt. Refined Sugar,
standard lumps, 82s. 6d. per cwt. Coffee sold steadily, good
ordinary Ceylon, 78$. per cwt.
