STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been a comparatively slack
week, few goods, either finished or otherwise, having changed
hands. Should the next arrivals from America bring no
considerable orders, it is thought that the winter will not be
kot over so sat!sfactorily as many anticipated a month ago.
The stillness which exists seems also to have operated on the
wool market, in which department little is doing, and no one
buys but for immediate use.
IIuDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The trade in the hall has not
been much better to-day than last Tuesday, What is want-
ing seems to be the usual American orders, which at the pre-
sent moment are very scarce, Those engaged in the fancy
line are expecting a good business.
Bnaovouo, TuzsnAv.--Foreign orders arriving but slowly.
and many purchases having already been made for the win-
ter, caused less business to be done to-day in our piece mar-
ket. Some attempts Were made to buy common goods on
easier terms, but. we think, in no case did it succeed: the
high price of yarns seems likely to prevent it. The demand
for particular s,,rts of figured goods has in some measure
abated, and suci articles are easier to buy. Cloths ford
printing, of very tine qualities, are, if anything, rather lower.
Yarns.—There is a continued good demand for yarns at full
prices. Wools.—There is no variation in the value of wools,
and the demand has become steady. Combing wools, (long)
are in demand.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—Although there has not
been quite so much doing this week, owing to rather exten-
sive sales having been made during the last three weeks,
still prices are firm, especially for long wool. short wool is
also in demand at full prices.
IN ow° SALE.—The quarterly sale progresses very steadily
and the attendance is good. Most of what is put up sells,
and prices are 3s. Bd. to 6s. 6d. for general runs, and is. 4d.
for line shippers. These are as near last sale's prices as need
be lip to the time we left the room, about 1600 chests on
the whole sale had passed the hammer.—Lyndon Price Cur-
rent, October 1.
LEICETEK.—The demand for goods is considered flat for
the season of the year. The wool market is firm, but there
is rather less doing. The demand runs still upon the finer
kinds of combing sorts. The stock of combing wether skin
is not large, and it sells freely at a small advance of price.—
Leicester Chronicle.

The Commissioners of Woods and Works have given per-
mission that a piece of ornamental asphalte should be laid
down at the foot of the great steps in St. James's Park; and,
as a test of its capabilities for roads, the roadway under the
Horse Guards is also to be laid down in asphalte.

N A POLKON.—It is said to be the intention of the King of
the French to wash away any illiberal stain that may have
fixed on him for persecuting a Bonaparte, by sending to St.
Helena for the bones of the true Bonaparte, and burying them
beneath his column in the Place Vendome.
THE ADVANTAGE OF SING TALL,—A young Scotchman,
who the other day was a private in the 92d regiment now stay
tioned at this island, being so remarkably tall that he was
unable to stand upright in a sentry-boa, was in consequence

A GENUINE YANKEE POTATO!—We learn from the Clare-
mont Eagle that Mr. Ellis, of West Claremont, has a potato
patch of 30 feet square, the vines of which are one mile in
length, the produce of one single potato, which he had planted
in the middle of May last! It was a large one, of the lady-
finger species, and had 72 eyes.—American paper.
MATRIMONY.—The following appeared as an advertise-
ment in the Gloucestershire Chronicle of Saturday last :
