have been 39,000 bales, of which 11,000 have been on specula-
tion, and 4000 for export. The sales to-day have been about
5,000 bales.

H UDDERSFIELn.—The principal purchases made to-day have
been for American houses, who have several bu3-ers here. The
home trade is very dull, and but little doing in the warehouses.
LEEDS.—With the exception of a few low priced goods, pur-
chased by the American houses, there was little business done
at the cloth-halls, either to-day or Saturday; goods calculated
for the home demand are scarcely moving at all ; prices remain
about the same as for the last few weeks, and the supply of
goods from the country has been less than for many years at
the same period of the year. Business has also been very dull
in the warehouses since this day week; the few buyers who
visit the town purchase in the most sparing manner, and only
for absolute need.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—We have had a moderate
attendance in the flannel market to-day, buyers were offering
less prices,and, in many instances, manufacturers were obliged
to submit to a small reduction. The market, like all others
held on Whit-Monday, was dull, but it was worse than is gene-
rally the case, and only a limited quantity of business was
transacted. The wcol market was very flat; manufacturers,
being of opinion that wool will be lower in price, would only
purchase as it were from hand to mouth. A report was in cir-
culation that unless an alteration takes place, the masters will

improvement in our market to-day. The uncommon fay:it-Ir-
ableness of the weather, joined to the good accounts generally
received of the growing crops in the south of Europe, which
caused the late fall in the price of Corn, have inspired buyers
with a little more confidence, and, in consequence, rather more
business has been done. Theie is a very scanty supply of
Wool coming in, and stocks have been reduced very low.
Prices, however, continue easier for the buyer, but with little
doing. The Yarn market remains depressed, and prices have
not changed. There has been full as much doing by, the
shipping houses ; and though business appears quite as languid
on the continent as here, yet the accounts of the weather and
crops are universally of so cheering a nature that we play
safely conclude they will soon exert a beneficial influence Oa
our trade. Altogether a much better feeling has pervaded
our market.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The condition of the work-
men in the Hosiery trade cannot by any means be considered
as improved. The cut-up branches are still the greatest suf-
ferers. It is estimated that nearly one-half c f the cut-up hands
are out of employ; and of the stockingers in the three king-
doms nearly one-fifth of the frames are either idle or are

profits. We are rather grieved to learn that in some few cast
the muslin laces have met with a slight check; but as the spe
culaion has reached the United States, there is great reason to
hope for a revival. The warp lace trade is yet in a state of
abeyance, though it is by no means worse; the panic does not
seem to have had any additional effect upon the important
manufactures. Notwithstanding all untoward appearances,
we have great hopes of a revival.—Notiinghans Journal.

fleeting is the joy of wicked men. He had been taken up
on one charge, and it was found he was the very man they
were in search of for another. He was committed for
trial for stealing from a shandry groceries and a leg of
veal, belonging to Mr. Robert Waring, of Smithdown-
lane.

AN UNFEELING Sow.—An elderly female, of respect-
, able appearance, who resides in Gay-street, made an
, application to Mr. Rushton, on Thursday, for -advice
under the following distressing circumstances. She had
occasionally to leave town, and in her absence her son
made a practice of disposing of her furniture. Hitherto
she had forgiven him ; but having recently gone into the
country, and found her house, as usual, stripped on her
return, she was compelled to resort to extremes. Mr.
Rushton told her to give her worthless son into custody.
On Friday, the man, whose name is Peter Aspinall, was
placed in the dock before Mr. Rushton. A broker, from
Tithebarn-street, deposed to receiving two press beds, a
chest of drawers, and other articles, from the prisoner for
sale on Wednesday night, on which he lent 30s. The
prisoner said the goods had been placed in the brokftr's
hand to meet a temporary difficulty, and that he intenlled
to redeem them. In reply to a remark of the mother,
that she merely wanted a promise from her son that he
would not annoy her, Mr. Rushton said he did not know
how he could'ensure this, except by letting the law take
its course. The man was remanded.
DISPUTE WITH Em i GRA N'TS. —On Thursday, a person
belonging to the firm of Durandu and Co., Waterloo-rcad,
appeared before Mr. Rushton, under the following circum-
stances :--He stated that on the preceding day several
German emigrants (who were present in court) came to
the office, in Waterloo-road, and asked to have upwards
of 400 dollars exchanged for gold. They had with them
an interpreter. £lO in gold was counted out for them,
when the interpreter asked whether the sovereigns were
of the proper weight, saying he would go and get them
weighed.. He was allowed to do so, and took the money
away, but did not make his appearance again. In conse-
quence of this, the party at the bullion-office wished to
deduct the £lO from the money returnable to the emi-
grants in exchange, which they immediately resisted ; and
an altercation having ensued, the police were called upon
to interfere, and ultimately the affair was brought before
the magistrates. The dollars were given into the care of
the chief superintendent. It appeared the emigrants did
not know anything of the interpreter, and he had merely
joined them in the neighbourhood of the docks, and
offered his services. Mr. Rushton said lie would afford
every facility to Messrs. Durandu, in order that the party
who had taken the money might be discovered and
punished, but the amount must not be stopped from the
emigrants. He directed Mr. Superintendent Brown to
hand the dollars over to the Germans, observing that
those fellows who acted as interpreters obtained enormous
commissions, and it was a pity that emigrants were not
better informed in such matters.

SALE OF Lt'-D.—On Monday, a sale of land took place
at the Conway Arms, Birkenhead. The land is situated
in St. Ann-street, Park-street, and Price-street. Out of
ten lots only two were put up. For some land and build-
ings on the north-west side of Park-street, the sum of
£6OO was bid; but it was bought in at the reserve of £7lO.
For some land on the south-west side of an intendel new
street leading out of Park-street, 40s. per yard, being the
amount of the reserve bid was offered.

LITER TREATRE.—TABLEAUX VIVANTS' AND critS
PL-AgTIQUES.—A most talented company are givin , at
the above Theatre, a series of Tableaux Vivants, which
only require to be seen to be fully appreciated. Some of
the groups are given with great taste and classical know-
ledge : whilst the modern subjects are equally faithful to
the eminentpainters, whose works they. pourtray. Amongst
the multiplicity of subjects placed before the admirer of
living statuary, it would be idle to attempt selecting the
best for praise; and the more so as every week affords a
complete change in the programmes. The public ought
to see and judge for themselves. We may state that there
is nothing to offend the fastidious.

THE " GREAT BRITAIN."—The springs having gone off
seem to have made•no difference in the position of this
noble ship.- She stands now very nearly upright, and*,
the eye she appears nearly on an even keel, instead of
being buried as it were eight or nine feet by the head as she
has been through the winter. Her stern is but a few
inches-below the level of the sand, and her keel is quite
visible. at low water or thereabouts. Captain Claxton,
last week, gave the poor people who live along the shore
Ride leave to help themselves to that portion of the break..
water formed by the fagots; and very speedily a vast dif
ference was made in its height—carts, barrows, trucks,
hands, and arms being speedily in requisition: at lbw
