STATE OF TRADE.

—The inui for ods thouh nt So
ral as it wMANCHETER. spat the beginninq ry
go
g of the week,, still continues gene-
to be
experienced to a fair extent. The actual business done has not
been large, but the prices realized are better than those of last
week. Printing cloths are in good request, and command
rather higher rates than they did a few days ago. Orders we
understand to be multiplying in the hands of the buyers, but
they are indisposed to operate at the prices now required, and
consequently business is on a more limited scale than it would
otherwise be. In shirtings there is noparticularchange to no-
tice. The demand for 36-in. is very fair, but for 40-in N reed
there is not much inquiry. Yarns, during the week, have been
steady, but no large business doing. The home-trade houses,
though not so depressed as they were some weeks ago have not
as yet experienced any very decided improvement. It is just
between seasons with them, and no great amount of business
can be expected until near autumn. some of the heaviest pro-
ducers appear resolved either to sell on more remunerating
terms or to stock what they make for the present.—Manchester
Examiner.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL M VRKET.—We have had a moderate
attendance in the Panne' ma 'het this week, and there Is a much
better feeling between the manufacturers and buyers. During
the last fortnight some of the extensive manufacturers have
sold large quantities of goods, and to-day a moderate amount
of business has been done in the Blackwater market. Prices
of all sorts of foods are much the same; but the manufacturers
are not so anxious to push sales. There is a little improve-
ment in the wool market; some sorts are better to buy, but
brokes and skins much the same.
NOTTINOHAM.—Lace There has been a fair inquiry for
"muslin goods," and though the sales have not been large,
they have been effected under somewhat improved circumstan-
ces. Hosiery There is but little to notice in the trade this
week. Every department is now. very quiet, and the spring
season nearly over. Any very decided change or improvement
in the trade cannot now be expectod until the autumn trade
sets in.
LEEDS.—We are glad to report some improvement in the
woollen trade this week. The public markets have been better
attended, and more business done than for some time past, and
both merchants and manufacturers are looking with some con-
fidence to a good fall trade. Stocks, as we have repeatedly
stated, are low; and though prices have not undergone any
marked change, the increased price of the finer wool will pro-
bably, with an improved home trade, consequent on the lower-
ing of the price of groin, laid to some advance of cloths. We
are glad to find there has been more inquiry for the liner qua-
lities of cloth this week, and that the foreign houses are doing
a fair business for the season.
BRADFORD.—IrooI.—The demand for Combing Wools Oil
continues limited, and the supply in the market very bare,

The following letter from the late Master of the Temple
demands the attention of our readers :

REPLY TO THE CANVASSING LETTER OF THE RIGHT HON.
HENRY GOULBURN, BY THE REV. CHRISTOPHER BEN-
SON, M.A., PREBENDARY OF WORCESTER, LATE MASTER
OF THE TEMPLE, AND HULSEAN LECTURER.
[The words in inverted commas are quotations from Mr.
Goulburn's address.]
" Worcester, June, 1847.
" Sir,—l have had the honor of receiving your circular,
dated June 11, 1847.

'• I cannot consider the increased grant to Maynooth to
have been a measure calculated to obtain the blessing
of Divine Providence,' or to increase the efficiency of the
church, or to extend its ministrations.'
" Still less can I consider the Dissenters' Chapel Bill,
which gave to Unitarian tevehers, what the law as it stood
would have withdrawn from them, the power of preaching
at their ease doctrines contrary to the Divinity and atone-
ment of our blessed Lord, to have been a measure calcu-
lated ' to promote the interests of true religion.'
"Both these measures I believe you supported as a mem-
ber of the University of Cambridge, and of Sir Robert Peel's
Administration.

" Should that Administration return to power, I much
fear, judging by its past conduct, and the final speech of
him who formed and guided it, that other measures would
be proposed in the ' endeavour.... to allay religious ani-
mosities,' so gradually laying open to ' invasion the just
rights and privileges of the Established Church and the
University, and so placing the question ' as to the endow-
ment of Roman Catholic clergy in England or Ireland,' in
a position of strength, as to make it a matter of indifference
whether ' a proposal of this nature' would or would not be
ultimately and. ' strenuously resisted by yourself.'
" I therefore feel called upon, not merely to decline
voting in your favour, but to employ my. vote as a member.
of the senate in any manner 1 can conscientiously approve,
so as to oppose the return of yourself, or any other member
of the late Administration of Sir Robert Peel, as a repre-
sentative of the University of Cambridge.
" I have the honour to remain, sir,
" Your obedient servant,
"CHRISTOPHER BENSOIs".
" To the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn."
