STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. 7.—There has been
no material change in this branch of business since our last
report. Prices remain without variation, and about the
same moderate amount of business has been transacted.
ENGusit WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, Nov. 7.—The tranatte-
ti,,ns in this branch of trade, both in combing and clothing
Wool, have Len small during the present week ; prices are
nominally without alteration.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 7.—There bas again
been a very limited extent of business done in Wool of all
sorts. In any little that has been done, the turn is rather in
favour of the buyer,
LEEDS —Our Cloth markets at both Halls were very dull
both on Saturday and Tuesday. The rumours of scarciiv
of money, as anticipated by many, have had considerable
effect in causing buyers to be veil careful in their purchases,
and little is doing except to order. The stocks on hand at
the close of the season cannot, however, be large, as the
manufacturers have been acting on the cautious side for
some time. Business has been dull in the warehouses during
the week ; there is, however, a little more doing for the
American market than for some time.

LEICESTER.—Business continues in a healthy state in the
Hosiery market—Yarns are steady. There is but little doing
in long Wools, and the coarser kinds are dull of sale. Short
W'.ols still command high prices.
flitApFoup MituKET, THURSDAY, Nov. 6.—There is no•
thing different in the Wool department, the spinners acting
with caution, and only buying for present wants. In prices
we do not hear of any change. The very much depressed
Yarn trade is in no way improved. In short, all engaged in
it appear to be disposed to do as little as possible, the prices
being so ruinously low. Since our last report, another once
higly respectable house has had to subm it to the pressure of the
present times. The continuance and general adoption of short
time working is the only apparent safeguard, to protect us
through the winter. We regret we cannot hear if airy On-
proveinent in the Piece market to-day, either as regards
demand or prices.

MANCHES.TER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had a very
dull and inanimate business i❑ our Cloth market this week,
which to-day closes with increa,irz heaviness and declining
rates, and fr,m appearance,, there is no prospect of an early
improvement. Though spinners are doing better than ma-
nufacturers, still this branch is anything but brisk, and
where sales are made, a slight reduction has been submit-
ted to.

LANCASHIRE, Nov. 6.—At Bolton, the demand for Cot-
ton Yarns has been limitul during the last few days, and
prices of some sorts are a shade lower. Counterpar.es are
moderately brisk,- and tine Ginghams are in particular re-
quest. Bleachers have more work than they had a month
ago. Machine printers in the town and neighbourhood are not
so busy as they were six weeks since, and calico block-printerS
have very little work indeed. The broad Silk trade at
Leigh, Failsworth, Middleton, and the neighbourhood of
Manchester, is rather dull, yet it is not so slack as is usually
the case at this season of the year. The best qualities of
fine broad Satin Shawls, and new descriptions of fancy work
are in particular request. The Silk and Cotton Small Ware
business i❑ the same districts is rather slack, and at some
silk mills hands have only tour days work per week. There
has been a larger number of baildings erected this year than
for a long time past,

THE REV. R. W. SIBTHORPE.—It appears to be
the general opinion (says one of our correspondents) that
the Bev. Mr. Sibthorpe has returned lo the Protestant com-
munion. If he has (which is doubtful), he would be doing
inri:ense service to the Protestant cause by publishing the
reasons for his return, as an antidote to the publication of
his reasons fur joining the Roman communion, under the
titles, " Some Answers to the Enquiry, Why are you Become
a Catholic?" and, "A further Answer to the Enquiry, Why
have you Become a Catholic?" Our correspondent, th(re-
fore, publicly requests most earnestly, in behalf of the Pro-
testant community of which lie is a minister, that Mr. Sib-
thorpe will favour the public with some answer to the
enquiry, " Why are you again Become a Protestant?—
Church and State Gazette.

JACK AND THE BISHOP.—When Dr. Lipscombe,
the late Bishop of Jamaica, went on board her Majesty's ship
the Magnificent, to dine with the Admiral, on making his
appearance on deck, in full canonicals, which of course in-
cluded the significant apron, a tar s 'gaciously inquired of
his brother Neptune, " I say, Jack, do you know who this
'ere is?" " No, I don't," said he, " except it is the master
blacksmith who is come to take measure of our new funnel."
Baptist Herald.

PUSET.—Dr. Pusey's turn to preach at Ox-
ford will not occur until the beginning of 1846, before which period
we trust some authoritative interference will take place. We are
the more desirous of this, as the Rev. Doctor is eager to seize the
earliest opportunity of resuming his place before measures are ma-
tured for stopping him—Church and State Gazette.

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and fbrm a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergb,
and Kirkby Stephen. and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, aid Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fall to make this one of the most reirennerative .
rejects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make suck
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests Ake
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.

GREAT GRIMSBY, SHEFFIELD, THE
POTTERIES, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

The allusion to the meeting which took place in Manchester on the
24th of October last with the Committee of the Sheffield, Buxton,
Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway, contained in the circular of the
3d November, signed " G. C. Holland, Chairman," nod addressed to
the applicants for shares in the proposed Great Grimsby, Sheffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, is evidently, from the
ambiguity of its phraseology intended to serve a particular purpose.
lie proposal for an amalgamation of the two undertakingsAabove
named was made by the promoters of the Great Grimsby, Sifitffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, and not by the Pro-
visional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, P, tteries, and
Crewe Railway. The latter feel that the adoption of stay other course
than the one they decided upon on the 24th ult. could not have
proved otherwise than injurious to the interest of their shareholders.
DU stated in the circular, that negotiations are now pending, with
every prospect of success, of a nature which must materially enhance
the value of this undertaking ; in reply to which it is sufficient to
state that, whatever the negotiations here alluded to may be, none
whatever are pending between the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek. Pot-
teries; sad Crowe, and Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and
Grand Jarte,,tion Committees.

_ _ .

At a meeting of the Provisional Committee of this undertaking,
held at Radley's Hotel, en Wednesday, the sth instant, it was una-
Wmously resolved to apply for powers to construct a branch line
about four miles in length, from Elmsted to Alresford, thus connect-
ing the town of Colchester with the deep water of the river Colne,
at the nearest point, and where vessels of 500 tons can discharge
their cargoes with safety, by means of which Colchester will be com-
pletely established as a seaport tows.
The engineers reported that the cost of this branch, with all suit-
able works, would not exceed 50,0001., and it was resolved to increase
the capital by that amount aceordingly, and instructions were given
for the necessary surrey being forthwith proceeded In.
As the allotment of shares will not take place until the standing
orders aro complied with previously to the 30th instant, applications
for prospectuses, plans, and shares, will continue to be received by
the solicitors and brokers already advertised.
