We mentioned, in a former paper, that the in-
tention existed of establishing a, Leather Fair, to
be held quarterly, in Leeds. This intention it
is now resolved to carry into effect without delay,
and the first fair is appointed to be held on the
17th of the next month, in the South Market—
a place well adapted for the purpose. The fair
has the sanction of the Mayor of the Borough,
and the deputation appointed to wait upon his
worship to obtain that sanction, express much
gratification at the politeness and cordiality with
which they were received. Few places are so
well situated as Leeds for a Leather Fair, large
quantities of that article being manufactured in
the North and East Ridings, and applied to the
eonsumption of the manufacturing districts of
Yorkshire and Lancashire, and the inland navi-
gation, both from the east and to the west, ad-
mitting of its easy and unexpensive transit.—
