DISKEINILEAD COMMISSIONVRB.-0/1 Tuesday, at the
monthly meeting of this body, Mr.'Greene presided.—A
proposition for the erection of a deadhouse, at a cost of
X5O, was referred to the watch emniiiittee.—The proceed-
ings of the health committee showed :that there were 4M
?Aroused lodging-houses in the township.—Mr. Willoughby
*called attention to the mode latterly adopted in sewering
the-streets of the township. When 'he was on the hoard
before, they refused to adopt -a street until there was a
snificient number in it to pay for 4t. He mentioned this
because the arrears had got to'npWards of £3OOO, ,aithout
any prospect of its being returned. Mr. Gough protested
,againgt the expense going on :in s-Ebrewsbury-road, which
was to serve men of property at the expense of the tower-
' ship. The proceedings of the-tommittee were passed, as
Mr. Willoughby did not makez'any motion on the subject
`broiht forward by him.—ltappeared, from the proceed-
ings ofthe finance committeejhat an agreemeuthadbeen
entered into with Mr. Laird,•to let him the land by the

that cn one night the boats-stopped running, on account
of the fog, when the disappointed parties knocked 'at . the
door of the ferry-manager's house for half,an hour, and.
-brace his bell. The receipts for November-Showed a -con-
siderable increase over those of last year. 'The' board, then

MANCH/OM:CR.—There:is little change in the position of
the market this 'week ;ilf anything, slightly ruore has been
done, and rather more-oonfidence displayed, but wt :out pro-
ducing any more favourable effect upon prices than that of
causing rather more'frtnness on the part of prOdticers. This
is, perhaps, as mucli•;isible in regard to yarns for home
manufacture, which Ite working of short timelias caused to
be in rather shorter-sapply, whilst the resumption of work-
ing in some of the districts in which the looms were previ-
ously at a stand, hasoccasioned an increased demand. The
continued t rmnesstf the Liverpool cotton market, in the face
of the restrictedcidemand and tightness of,meney, also in-
spires rather more confilence that presentlprices may be
looked upon asAikely to be maintained. tic:goods there is
stilt a fair trusinese in light fabrics for the'-East, such as jac-
conetts and very•light shirtings. Printing cloths area shade
better, and' the' lighter sorts of dome,sties 'have also been
rather more purhhated.

LEEDS.—There has been quite as mttclibusiness done at 1
the Cloth lial4s as is usually the case at this season ; and the
deliveries ottt of the market have been-to alai' average ex-
tent, comparedwith the business of the last few weeks. There
have also been some few orders given out for delivery in
January; the• quills, in consequence, are getting into more
active operation, and the prospects for'the winter are more
encouraging. ranginess has been other thril in the ware-
houses, but not•more so than Usual attthiti period of the year.
Briao7oiso,--Wools : The supply-of bright-haired wools is
limited, and•cotnmanditig higher prices- than a month ago.
With ccyuntryfdealers there is unusual degree of firmness
in price, and, a desire to hold, seeing it difleult to replace.
The spinners•are looking round, but the-prices sought deter
them from ,buying, except to assort up,their stocks. Noils
and brokee•without alteration in price, and.made only in very
small .qtumtities.—Yarns : More -doing for Lancashire, and
the spool frames better employed,bUt the spinners are chiefly
working to -order. Stocks of Yarns are light in the large
spinners' hands, but the prices at which/hey are sold offer
little inducement to augment their production.—Pieces:
There is :somewhat more doing an Please. The aggregate
supply of goods in the hands of themerehents, dyers, and
manufacturers, compared with the same :period last year, is
not more than half, owing to the producers having materially
lessened the supply coming to .triarket,..and thus prevented
accumulations of stock. The chances are, that the year will
open with an. unusually small stook of goods, and with no
prospect of •their being made cheaper 71hia-may lead to per-
manent activity at the proper season, -instead of this being
forestalled by acticipitted purchases

ROCHDALs.--A very limited demand .for Pieces, but last

market there has bzen no change worth notice.
NorrinorrA.at.--The usual want of. business during the
month of December prevails as it has done fora number of
years past, but at this time to a greater extent than since
Fthe year 1848, both as regards hosiery and late; but if the
sastern affairs are amicably arranged, themonted prosperity
ref these two trades will speedily revive.
,LEICESTER.—Rut little change in the: of trade has
occurred since our last report, as regards the amount of
.bratiness doing, butz,the opinion as to the value of goods being
that they are now at safe prices, it is epxected that.as soon as
thademand improves advances will be required and obtained.
