Establishment, whether as purchasers or parties in search of
amusement, the whole of the STOCK, (certainly one of the
largest and most varied in England) being conveniently ar-
ranged for inspection, and the price marked on each Article,
from which no deductions are made, nor is any credit given,—
this system enabling the Proprietor to offer his Goods lower than
any other.
The JEWELLERY is of the best London Manufacture,
and has given general satisfaction: in consequence, T. Woo L-
FIEL D finds a continually increasing demand, and he is' there-
fore enabled daily to replenish his Stock with the choicest and
most fashionable Articles, and to keep a most extensive Assort-
ment, the moderate price of which cannot fail to secure to the
Jewellery Department a continuance of the favoured and in-
creasing patronage of the Public.

splendid show of CLOCKS and TIME-PIECES, in Gilt,
Bronze, Alabaster, Porcelain, &c. ; the Stock is immensely

Mansions, large Staircases, &c. These articles are now much iu
favour, and very scarce.

BOXES, and JEWEL-BOXES are all made on the Pre-
mises ; and the Stock of these Articles is certainly much more
extensive and varied than in any other House in the Kingdom.
In the planning of both Lathes' and Gentlemen's Dressing

and complete as possible for Travelling. Purchasers have
likewise the option of taking or rejecting any part of the Fittings,

MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sin,—l feel thyself called upon to reply to a paragraph,
signed "Bewsher and Fleetwood," which appeared in the
Albion of Monday, the 3d instant, relative to the organ in St.
Michael's Church not being used by the Festival Society, as
advertised.

Having the care and tuning of the Corporation organs, I beg
leave to explain the reason why it could not be used on the
occasion. Sir George Smart tried the organ on Friday, the 30th
ult., the tuning of which met his decided approbation, also that
of Mr. Gray, of London, Mr. George Holden, and other com-
petent judges; but, on comparing the pitch with his fork, he
found it to be half a tone under concert pitch (in which state
it was originally put up by the builders). On inquiry, Mr.
Gray informed him that it could not be altered in the given
time; besides, it would be attended with a considerable ex-
pense ; in consequence of which the service was appointed to
take place at St. Luke's Church.
The builders having mentioned that, had they had the care of
the organ, it would not have been requisite to remove the service
to another church, I beg leave to state that the organ could not
possibly be used on that occasion, without being first altered as
above-mentioned, as there would be wind instruments which
are up to concert pitch to accompany it. They must have been
fully aware, when they inserted the paragraph alluded to, that
the fault was in the original pitch of the organ, and not in the
present tuning. Yours, &c.

STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.
TRADE op LEEDS.—We have very little alteration to note in
our staple article of commerce. Both merchants and cloth
manufacturers are acting with the greatest caution, and as the
stocks are comparatively low, there is no immediate apprehen-
sion of any considerable reduction in prices.
BRADFORD.—'there was a good attendance of merchants at
market on Thursday, and numerous sales were effected, but the
same degree of caution which has characterised their proceed-
ings for some weeks past, seemed still to actuate their conduct.
The superior and medium qualities of goods are as high as they
have been for some time, but inferior descriptions may be
bought on easier terms., The manufacturers continue well em-
ployed. The sales of wool were more extensive this week than
last, but prices were not so th.m, which may probably be attribu-
ted to the unusual dullness of the wool markets, and a conse-
quent trifling decline in th!..price of some descriptions of wool.
HAI.IFAX MARKET Ori Wednesday was brisker than it has
been for some time past. There was a larger attendance of
merchants, and they seemed to purchase. more freely. This
line of prices, ckness: Yarns were
in-
duced by the recent slproportionably
may, perhaps, be attributablea to a trifling de,
lower.
