STATE OF TRADE.

lAN,'carom., JULY I4.—(From our Correspondent.)—The
public sales of colonial wools, which commenced this day, have
been very numerously attended, and the competition for all
qualities has been very animated. The wools sold to-day are
in very fair condition, and are tolerably free from seeds and
burrs. Messrs. Buchannan and Brown have a sale to-marrow.
I have reason to believe that the importers are well satisfied
with the prices which, under present circumstances, have been
obtained.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JULY 15.—We have had
many inquiries for new wools this week, and about an average
amount of sales has been effected, although prices are not found
to be so low as was anticipated, and but little, if any, cheaper
than old wools were selling at previous to the German fairs.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JULY 15.—The present
week has not produced any alteration in this branch of trade.
Sales have been to a limited extent. The new wools are now
corning to hand, and the manufacterers consequently have a
better assortment from which to select their purchases, which
they are therefore enabled to make on rather better terms than
a few weeks ago.
DO/466TE% WOOL BASKET, July 9.—The supply of
wool was large this day, but the trade throughout was dull and
heavy, and at the close, though buyers were pretty numerous,
some quantity remained. Prices much as last week. Hog
wool 12s. to 135., Hog and Ewe I Is. to 125., Ewe 10s. to
113., Locks 6s. to 7s. per stone. Another account gives the
prices as follow :—Hog and Ewe 12s. to 13s. ; very fine,
13s. 6d. ; Ewe Ils. to 12s. per stone ; Locks Bd. to 10d. per lb.
HULL Wow. FAIR.—On Tuesday last there were but few
buyers, and more sellers than usual, and consequently there was
again a good deal of hanging off as to prices, yet a fair amount of
business was done, a greater number of lots passing the scales
than, we believe, on any previous market day this season, and
these too at prices rather in advance of those hitherto obtained,
but this was owing in part at least to the excellent quality of
the fleeces offered. An extraordinary number of small lots was '
shown and we believe all bought up.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 14.—The show of wool has
been moderate at this day's market, and their being a slender
attendance of buyers, the market ruled heavy all the day. The
prices were, for half-hog and two-third-hog, and ewe, 11s. 6d.
125., 12s. 3d. to 12s. 9d.; for all ewe, 10s. tid. to 1 Is. per
stone. Locks and cots, 7d. to Bd. per lb.
'I./LADE or LEEDS.—There has been a little more business
done at our Cloth Halls this week in beavers, and fancy cloak-
ings ; but fine and middle cloths continue quite as dun of sale
as for some time past; on the whole the markets both on Sa-
turday and Tuesday were far below an average. Prices re-
main stationary, and the stocks, although very light, compared
with what they have usually been at this season are more than
=vie for the present demand. Business continues very dull
in ii se warehouses; the few buyers who visit the market con-
tinue to buy very sparingly, and only for present demand.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—We learn with plea-
sure that rather more has been done to-day in the Piece market,
arid that chiefly by the houses engaged in the home trade, who
usually snake their purchases at this season. Orleans have
been more in request ; alsa merinos, and figures suited for the
approaching season. In prices we hear of no alteration. We
cannot report the slightest improvement in yarn, for if the
demand is a shade better without an altered price, we fear that
the present limited production will continue; and to-day has
not been the harbinger of intelligence more satisfactory. Our
Wool market is somewhat better supplied, and the spinners
who are loudly complaining, and working only short time, have
been doing less, and the sales made are in favcur of the buyer.
—Leeds Mercury.

MAKING A. CROPPY.—On Thursday last, four
young men, charged with cropping the ear off a person: named.
*O'Malley, surrendered themselves voluntarily to l
s
Brow, Esq., the Resident Magistrate, and were by hiu mcom-
mitted to the Bridewell of this town to await theanswej
of the law advisers of the Crown to their application
be admitted to bail ; and we feel bound in justice to theac' o
ac-
cused to state that, if eves such an assault was justified, it was
on this occasion. It appears by the sworn informations of
O'Malley, that the offender was a servant in the house of the
accused, when he succeeded in seducing their sster, and got
her with child—and, in place of making the only reparation in
his power to his unfortunate victim, he married another woman
—and, on the day laid in his informations, the unfeeling ruffian
had the daring effrontery to come on the very street of his
former master, when, in a moment of madness, he was made
to lend an ear to justice. Such are the simple facts of the
case, which do not in the slightest degree affect the peaceable
character or the MiltoWn district; and, although the indiscre-
tion of youth led the accused into a breach of the laws of the
country, better-behaved, or more inoffensive young men are
not to be found in the community. We have learned that Mr.
Brew received directions from the Government to admit them
to bail, which 'was immediately entered into.— 2'uam Herald.

- DEATH OF THE DUKE OF
ORLEANS.
• (From Galignani's Messenger.)
The details of the calamity are as follows :—Yesterday (July
13), at twelve o'clock, the Duke of Orleans was to leave Paris
fur St. Omer, where he was to inspect several regiments in-
tended for the corps of operation on the Marne. His equipages
were ordered, and his attendants in readiness. Every prepara-
tion was made at the Pavillon Marsan for the journey, alter
which his Royal Highness was to join the Duchess of Orleans
at Plombieres. At eleven the Prince got into a carriage, in-
tending to go to Neuilly to take leave of the King and Queen
and the Royal family. This carriage was a four-wheeled ca-
briolet, or caleche, drawn by two horses a la demi-Daumont,—
that is, driven by a postillion. It was the conveyance usually
taken by the Prince when going short distances round Paris.
He was quite alone, not having suffered one of his .officers to
accompany him. On arriving near the Porte Maillot, the
horse rode by the postillion took fright, and broke into a
gallop. The carriage was aeon taken with great velo-
city up the Chemin de la Revolte. The Prince, seeing
that the postillion was unable to master the horses, put his foot
on the cep, which is very near the ground, and jumped down
on the road, when about half way along the load which
runs direct from the Porte Maillot. The Prince
touched the road with both feet, but the impulse was so great
that he staggered, and fell with his head on the pavement.
ne effect of the tall was terrible, fcr his Royal Highness re-
mained senseless on the spot. Persons instantly ran to his as-
sistance and carried him into a grocer's by the way-side, a
short distance off, opposite Lord Seymour's stables. In the
meantime the postillion succeeded in getting conaruted over his
horses, turned the carriage round, and came to the door of the
house where the Prince was lying. His Royal Highness never
recovered his senses. He was placed on a bed in a room on the
ground floor, and surgical assistance aas sent for. Dr. Baumy,
a physician in the neighbourhood, was the first who came. he
bled the Royal sufferer, but this produced no good effect. The
news of the accident was conveyed to Neuilly. The Queen
immediately set out on foot, and the King followed her. His
1 Majesty was to be at Paris at twelve o'clock, to hold a Council
of elnesters. His carriages, which were ready, soon overtook
their Majesties, who entered them, with Madame Adelaide and
the Princess Clementine. '1 hey proceeded to the house to
which the Duke of Orleans had been taken. He, by that time,
was nearly lifeless. It may be easy to imagine, but it will be
impossible fur any one to describe, the grief of their Majesties
and Royal Highnesses at the spectacle they beheld. Dr. Pas-
quier, jun., the Prince Royal's first surgeon, had just arrived.
Soon aiterwards the Dukes d'Aumale and Montpensier came
front Courbevoie and Vincennes. Dr. Pasquier was very soon
compelled to announce that the ease was of the most serious na-
ture, for every symptom showed that there was an effusion on the
brain, and every minute the evil seemed to increase. A few
words pronounced by the Prince in the German language gave
a momentary hope, but this as quickly vanished. Marshal
Soult, Marshal Gerard, the Ministers of Justice, Foreign
Affairs, the Interior, tke Marine, Finances, and Public Works
arrived, and were admitted into the death bed chamber of the
Royal Duke. The Chancellor, the Prefect of Police, Generals
Pajol and Aupick, with the officers of the households of their
Majesties and Princes, hastened to the spot, and remained out-
side the house in a spice kept clear by sentinels stationed around.
At two o'clock, as the case became more and more desperate.
the King scut for the Duchess de Nemours, who had remained
at Neuilly. She came, attended by her Ladies in Waiting.
No pen can paint the affieted scene presented by the chamber
when the Duchess de Nemours came, and added her bitter
tears to those of the rest of the family. The Queen and Prin-
cess were on their knees by the bedside, praying and bathing
with their tears the hands of their departing son and brother,
so intensely beloved. The Princes were speechless, and sob-
bing almost to suffocation. The King stood by silent and mo-
tionless, watching with painful anxiety every fluctuation in the
countenance of his expiring heir. Outside the house the crowd
continued every minute to increase, every one overwhelmed with
consternation. The Cure of Neuilly and his clergy immediately
obeyed the King's summons, and came to Sablonville. Under
the influence of powerful medicaments, the agony of the dying
Prince was prolonged. Life withdrew, but very slowly, and
not without strugging powerfully against the utter destruction
of so much youthful strength. For a moment respiration be-
came more tree, and the beating of the pulse was perceptible.
As the slightest hopes are grasped at by hearts torn with de-
spair, this scene of desolation was interrupted by a momentary
calm, but the gleam soon passed away. At four o'clock the
Prince showed the unequivocal symptoms of departing life, and
in another half-hour he rendered his soul to God, dying in the
arms of his King and father, who at the last moment pressed
his lips on the forehead of his lost child, hallowed by the tears
of his afflicted mother, and the sobs and lamentations of the
whole of his family. The Prince being dead, the King drew
the Queen into an adjoining room, where the Ministers and
Marshals assembled, threw themselves at her feet, and endea-
voured to offer her consolation. Her Majesty exclaimed,
" What a dreadful misfortune has fallen upon our family, but
how much greater is it for France I" Her voice w.‘s then
stopped by her sobs and tears. The King, seeing Marshal
Gerard absorbed in grief, took his hand, pressed it with
an expression showing his sense of his bereavement, but at
the same time a firmness and magnanimity truly royal. The
mortal remains of the Prince were placed on a litter covered
with a white sheet. The Queen refused to get into the car-
riage, declaring her resolution to follow the corpse of her son
to the chapel at Neuilly, where she wished it to be carried.
Consequently, a company of the 17th Light Infantry was has- •
tily marched down from Courbevoie to line the precession on
each side, and thus those brave men who had shared with the '
Prince oyal in all the dangers of the passage of the Iron Gates .
and the heights of Mouzeia, in Africa, served as the escort of
his now lifeless body. Several of the men wept, and called
back to their minds the brilliant valour with which the Duke 1
of Orleans had assailed the enemy, and, at the same time, the 1
mild and delicate beneficence with which he had ever tempered I
the necessary rigour of command. At five o'clock the mournful I

_
procession moved towards the chapel at Neuilly. General
Athalin walked at the head of the bier, which was carried by
four non-commissicned officers. Behind followed the King,
Queen, Princess Adelaide, Duchess de Nemours, Prineess
Clementine' Duke d'Aumale, and Duke de Montpensier.
Then came Marshals Soult and Gerard, the Ministers, the Ge-
neral Officers; the household of the King and Princes, and an
immense number of other persons. The sad and solemn proces-
sion moved along the Avenue de Sablcinville, andtrossing the old
Neuilly road entered the Royal park, and traversed its whole
length to the Chapel. Here their Majesties, and Princes and
Princesses, after prostrating themselves before the altar, left
their beloved child and brother under the guardianship of God.
In the evening the Royal Family remained in seclusion, except
that the King conferred with his Ministers. At seven o'clock
M. Bestirs de Vaux, one of the deceased Prince's orderly
officers, and M. Chomel, who was his Royal Highness's first
physician, set out for Plembieres, where the Duchess of Or-
leans is taking the waters. Amidst all their own affliction,
during this disastrous day, the thought of the deprivation sus-
tained by this unfortunate Princess was never out of the minds
of her Royal relations, and her name was repeatedly invoked
in their lamentations. At length it was resolved that the
Duchess de Nemours and the Princess Clementine should go to
her with letters from the King and Queen. Their Royal
Highnesses commenced their journey at nine o'clock, attended
by Mademoiselle Angelet and General de Rumigny. At ten
o'clock the Duke d'Aumale, accompanied by the Count de
Montguyon, who was one of the Prince Royal's Aides-de-Cafnp,
went to the Pavillon Marsan, and, in obedience to an order from
the King, put seals updn all the deceased's papers. Comman-
dant Larne, one of his Majesty's orderly officers, was sent off to
the Chateau d'Eu, to bring back the Count de Paris and the
Duke de Chartres, who had been sent there for the bathing
season. At eleven o'clock last night the Duke d'Aumale re-
turned to the Palace at Neuilly, and there remains, as well as
the Duke de Montpensier. One courier was despatched to the
Duke de Nemours, and another to Toulon, with orders for a
steamer to be despatched to the coast of Sicily, where it is be-
lieved the squadron of Admiral Hugon now is, and conse-
quently the Prince de Joinville will be found.
After the above full and minute details, little mere remains
to be said at present on this astounding occurrence ; and, in-
deed, from other sources, we have only been able to glean
the following :--When the Prince Royal first perceived that
the postillion had lost all command over the horses, he stood
up in the carriage, and loriked with earnest attention along
the road before him; but, seeing the road clear, he sat quietly
down again ; but, rising once more, after running about 150
yards, and observing that his valet, who was in the seat be-
hind, had disappeared, and probably fearing that the man had
been thrown off by the violence of the motion, his Royal High-
ness took the resolution of getting out. When taken up, the
Royal Duke was found to have a severe contusion on the left
temple, and several wounds en his legs. The blood was flow-
ing from his mouth and nose, and even from his eyes. When
examined by the surgeons and other medical men called to
him, a fracture in the skull was discovered, and left little or no
hope. The words which the Prince uttered in German, and
which are alluded to above, are said to have been--" Shut the
door, there is a fire."

The following letter from Plombieres, of July 11, giving an
account of the calm and tranquil manner in which the Duchess
of Orleans passes her time, is interesting, from the strong con-
trast it presents to the agony which must take possession of the
mind of the unhappy Duchess on receiving the intell.gence,
dreadful in itself, but awfully terrible from its suddenness, of
her beloved husband's death :—" Her Royal Highness (says
the letter) has already derived benefit from the baths of Horn-
bieres. She walks out daily, and the inhabitants, though de-
lighted to see her without attendants or guard quietly passing
through the streets, have the delicacy to allow her to pass
without indulging unbecoming curiosity. She has visited the
principal shops of the place, and made several purchas.,,s of the
polished steel goods, for which the manufacture of the town is

deservedly famous. Her Royal Highness has alto been to see
the Stanislaus Hospital, funded by the good king whose name
it bears, and expressed her satisfaction at the state in which it
is kept. 't here is every reason to hope that her Royal High-
ness's health will soon be perfectly restored. Her affability
and charity make her nearly adored here,"
In consequence of the melancholy accident which has thrown
so much gloom over the capital, orders have been given to sus-
pend for the present the preparations in the Champs Elysees for
the fetes of July.
