ROCHDALE. There was a considerable inquiry for
pieces, and: a fair amount of business transacted at previous
prices. The-wool market was again very quiet, and the manu-
facturers showed no disposition to purchase,which might arise
from a wish to see the result of the London wool sales, or a
conviction that the stocks on hand are such as will supply
them till the new clip.
LEEDS.—The woollen cloth trade in all its branches has con-
tinued very steady throughout the week, clothiers haying no
difficulty in finding purchasers for their products at late prices.
Both the home and the foreign trade are active ; and general
briskness, without any excitement resulting from speculation,
is, in parliamentary phrase, "the order of the day."
BRADFORD.—This has been rather a quiet week as respects
transactions in wool and yarns, the prices for both, however,
have a tendency upwards. There is a moderate demand for
piece goods, but the home buyers have done little or nothing
for spring orders yet.
NOTTINGHAM.—There has been a considerably increased
demand for lace goods lately, consequently stocks are very
much diminished, and there is every reason to suppose that
this business will shortly be as good as the hosiery, which con-
tinues uninterruptedly prosperous. The price of yarn for each
trade remains without change, but there is every probability of
lace yarn being higher.

ous meeting of Conservative Peers and Commoners, held
on Friday, at Lord DERBY'S residence, St. James's-square,
when Lord ABERDEEN'S policy, as enunciated by Lord
TORN Rnssnm„ was thoroughly considered, nearly 300
noblemen and gentlemen declared it utterly insufficient
for, and ill adapted to, the requirements of the country,
and on that account entitling the coalitionist authors to

their vigorous and persistent opposition.

soldier's junior by nearly ten years, bent and much worn,
thoough stately, and of mantling countenance, as Ells-
RAELI would say. The mention of Viscount HARDINGE
puts one in mind of the diversity which prevails respecting
the proper pronunciation of the brave soldier's name. As
a bit of gossip, it may serve to state that I recollect, when
he took the oaths as a peer, young RosE, the Lords'
reading clerk, was going over the newly-made peer's
names and titles—Right Hon. Sir HENRY HARDINGE,

CON.—Why is Palmerston like the measles ?—Because
nearly every administration has him once.

A LADY advertises in the New York Herald, that she

DR. DisoN says that during his visit to Ireland he met
a mob of children so ragged that if they had got entangled,
it would have taken their parents a lifetime to have got
them apart again.
MENAGE, the Frenchman, had so short a memory that
he wrote the following note on his tablet !--` Memoran-
dum : I am to be married on the Bth April.' After all he

A YOUNG FELLOW offered to bet with the teacher of a

proficiency of his pupils, that not one of them would de-

A LITTLE STRANGER was found recently on the door
steps of Mr. Strange, a gentleman in Boston. A stranger
fact is, however, that Mr. Strange is the son of a gentle-
man who was deposited on some steps, in like manner, in

MEDICINE.—The best medicine in the world for most
complaints is abstinence. Upon the first symptoms of
disease stop eating and drinking, kiss your wife and
children, take a pleasant book, and remain quiet. If you
have no wife and children, put your feet into a pair of
soft slippers, make a good fire and take an easy chair by
it, and dream of them in prospective. You have no idea
how like a charm this prescription will work, until you
try it—and it isn't at all in the " doctor's books," either,
good as it is !

St. Thomas's Church, Toateth Park, in the County of
Lancaster, on the nomination of the Rev. Isaac O. msby
Powell, the incumbent.
ORDINATION.—The Lord Bishop of Chester intends
to hold an Ordination at Chester on Trinity Sunday next,
candidates for which must send their papers complete to
Charles T. W. Parry, Esq., on or before Monday, the
11th of April, after which none can be received except
under very special circumstances.

THE BISHOP of Manchester has licensed the Rev.
Jonathan Short, 8.A., late curate of North Searle, Lin-

Lancashire, vice the Rev. T. R. Baldwin, M.A., vicar o
Leyland.

CLERICAL OPPOSITION TO CHURCH RATES.—At a
vestry meeting held at Frome, on Thursday week, to
make a church rate, the vicar, the Rev. W. J. Bennett,
in opening the business of the meeting, stated that he
bad for many years objected to the principle of such rates,
and advised the meeting to abolish them altogether. A
rate of 2d. in the pound having been moved by H. Miller,
Esq., churchwarden, and seconded. an amendment was
moved by the Rev. S. Manning, and seconded by the
Rev. C. J. Middleditch, that no rate be granted, and, on
a show of hands, the rate was lost by a large majority.

The English Market is feebler in tone, and closes lower. The
fact of some unpleasant question to be put in Parliament tO-
- having had rather an unfavourable effect.—The. Railway
Market opened with great buoyancy, but on the fall in Console
declined and closed with a dullish aspect.—The Gold Mine

For MELBOURNE, FORT PHILIP,
The splendid new Clipper-built Ship MILES BARTON',
WILLIAm KELLY, Commander;
Now in Brunswick Dock, and will be despatched from

Salthouse'Dock, as above

This superb Ship has been built, regardless of expense, ex-
pressly for the Australian trade, by the well-known builders of
the celebrated Ship Constance. She is expected to prove the
fastest Vessel afloat. Her Cabins are fitted up in a most su-
perior manner. The 'tween decks are extremely lofty, and
ventilated on the most improved principles.
The MILES BARTON is a Single-decked Ship, and has an
unusually clear Upper-deck for the Passengers to take exercise
on, and which has been proved to be absolutely essential to
health on so long a voyage. The fittings will be found to be of
a novel and superior description, and Baths are provided on
Deck for the Passengers. The Dietary is extremely liberal,
and great care will be used in the selection of the Provisions.
She will carry an experienced Surgeon.

RAILWAY CHARGES,

THE belief that Railways were constructed, as the old
tokens were coined, " for the honour and love of trade,"

is not realised to the extent which a consideration of
mutual interest would dictate. The London and North
Western Company enjoy a monopoly, which, under liberal
management, might be of considerable advantage to the
public and the shareholders, but their high rate of charges
for the carriage of small parcels not only operat

mutual injury, but will make out a case for the interposi-
tion of the legislature, unless the good sense of the direc-
tors should induce them to obviate the necessity of such
an appeal. A few days ago, we were charged no less
than 33. 4d. for a small ream of paper, and since then were

mulct in 2s. 4d, for the carriage of a parce
four small books, although, if they had been sent se-
, from Land's• End to John O'Groat's,

priedg. The wool market was again very qtric,
facturers showed no disposition to purchase,which might arise
from a wish to see the result of the London wool sales, or a
conviction that the stocks on hand are such as will supply
them till the new clip.
LEEDS.—The woollen cloth trade in all its branches has con-
tinued very steady throughout the week, clothiers having no
difficulty in finding purchasers for their products at late prices.
Both the home and the foreign trade are active ; and general
briskness, without any excitement resulting from speculation,
is, in parliamentary phrase, " the order of the day."
BRADFORD.—This has been rather a quiet week as respects
transactions in wool and yarns, the prices for both, however,
have a tendency upwards. There is a moderate demand for
piece goods, but the home buyers have done little or nothing
for spring orders yet.
NOTTINOHAM.—There has been a considerably increased
demand for lace goods lately, consequently stocks are very
much diminished, and there is every reason to suppose that
this business will shortly be as good as the hosiery, which con-
tinues uninterruptedly prosperous. The price of yarn for each
trade remains without change, but there is every probability of
lace yarn being higher.

in error,

CHANCERY.—Lord ST. LEONARD'S introduced a series
of bills with reference to the reform of the law. The first
bill was a measure of further relief to the suitors in the
Court of Chancery. lie proposed by a new arrangement
of the Accountant• General's office, and by an improved
mode of managing the funds under his care, to enable the
Court to reduce the expenses of litigation to any limit
within which it might be thought desirable to confine it.
One great object of his bill was to put an end to the pre-
sent unseemly system of brokerage on the suitors' fund ;
and'another was, by a new and careful administration of
the unclaimed dividends, to give the court new funds with
which to relieve the suitors.

LUNACY.—LORD ST. LEONARD'S said the next bill
was one of three, relating to lunatics. The great object
of this bill was to regulate the proceedings of the court
with reference to the property of lunatics under it. The
effect, if passed into a law, would be to lessen the expense
of inquiry in such cases, to prevent the unnecessary sum-
moning of juries, to prevent unnecessary references from
the Lord Chancellor to the Masters in Lunacy, to prevent
the unnecessary attendance of next of kin, which was
often attended with great expense, and to introduce, for
the first time, chamber practice on the part of the Lord
Chancellor with reference to lunatics. The second bill
with reference to lunacy contemplated the consolidation
of all the laws relating to lunatic asylums. The third bill
connected with lunacy provided for the care and treat-
ment of lunatics. It was an amendment on the act com-
monly designated Lord Shaftesbury's Act, which appointed
commissioners for the visiting of lunatic asylums, and it
contained a considerable number of provisions which would
be found to be an improvement upon the original act.
BANKRUPTCY.—Lord ST. LEONARD'S said the next bill
related to bankruptcy. It contained a variety of provi-
sions, but its chief object was to induce persons who be-
came insolvent, and, in the common acceptation of the
phrase, " incapable of meeting their obligations," to go
at once into the Court of Bankruptcy, without fear and
without shame, In order to accomplish this he proposed,
inter alia, to abolish first, second, and third-class certifi-
cates.

CRIMINAL LAIV.—Lord ST. LEONARD'S said his lastbill
related to a digest of the criminal law, which he proposed
should be effected by a series of measures. That which
he now submitted was the first in that direction. It con-
tained some general provisions, and laid down some
general rules which would be applicable to the whole
subject.

AT THE THEATRE-ROYAL, On Saturday afternoon, a
full audience assembled to witness the comic pantomime
and Douglas Jerrold's new comedy. We have little doubt,
from the success of its first performance, that the latter
will be very popular. It is well worthy of a long run.

MR. THOMAS' CONCERTS.—After a short campaign at
Manchester, Mr. Thomas has returned with his monster
band, and another series of cheap concerts will commence
this evening, at the Philharmonic-hall. The enthusiasm
which was displayed on Monday last week; at the con-
clusion of the first course, must render almost unneces-
sary any eulogium on the exquisite harmony which the
the public spirited enterprise of Mr. Thomas has brought
within the reach of the humbler lover of this divine art.
The expenses of such concerts can only be repaid by
crowded audiences; and of those there is no fear after the
experience of the past.
