STAVE OF -TRADE,

TRADE. OF ,LEEDS.—The woollen trade of this district
continues in .a very wholesome state, and there is 'scarcely a
goodworktnan to be foundoutof employment. A good deal of:
business is done in the Cloth Halls, and the stocks are coMpa-
.'ratively ,small, owing, _we believe, to many of the domestic,
clothiers delivering their. goods at the merchants' warehouses'
,direct, without passing through the .Halls, a practice ivhich is
very rarely resorted to,.except when trade is good. The supply
of wool iiiimited, and prices have a tendency-to advance, but.
the!buyers are:holding off as much as possible, till the arrival of
the new. clip.
liaAneoito M. ek.kr.—There was a good attendance of
buyers at this market on Thursday, and hitsineSs was quite
• brisk. Narrow goods were principally-in demand, and fetched
.soinewhat higher prices. A considerable quantity of other de-
scriptions of goods was also sold, and in-many cases advanced
• prices were -required. The.spinners were very active, and, of
course, they did not-forget to demand an improvement in price
commensurate with the advance in manufactured goods. Prime
,hey, WOQIB were in reqilest, and fully maintained their price, but
.wethersAnd inferior descriptions were dull of sale.
HCDDERSFIEF.D.—A- good deal of business is doing here,
:both in narrow plain cloths and fancy goods for summer wear,
.The market was -very brisk on Tuesday.
11‘.6.,11,Ax.-,-There was .a. very busN,market here orysatur-
day. The demand for lastings was unprecedentedly large, and
there are very few of that. description of goods to be met with,
moot of the manufacturers.being busily employed in making'to
order.

•WAKEFIELD WOOL•MARKET, MAY 22.—There are continues
a steady.and.goodhusiness doing in wool of:all sorts. blethers
,are in better demand, at -.firm, but not higher prices, but the
chief inquiry is still for hogs, the finer deseriptions,of which
are a shade -higher iu price. There is still a good demand for
blanket .wool, and .the higher .sorts of English clothing wool,
Which .had met :a heavy sale during the :winter -rnonTlas, are
now,hetter,to sell.
!ROCHDALE, MAY 19.—Wehave had .a very good demand
this week, and our prospects.seem cheeringfor the future ;
,goods are wanted and are regularly bought up. The manufa-
,turers „are trying for an advance, but It is with difficulty they
can :as .yet: obtain.ainy. Wools. are in good request, and the
market begins to be in low stock; if it advances much, it will
immediately stop the trade, the clip being aust,at hand, and 11te,
pro-spect:trf ,a very abundant one will no clouht•ikeep wool,pretty
steady.

Amid.a throng in deep attention
'To catch the accents

The flow of eloquence, the, leavetily sound
Breathed from the,Sotil of Melody, while all
Instructed or delighted list around,
'Vacant uneOnsciousnessmust rie enthrall;
I can but watch each animated face,
And there attempt ihe inspiring theme to trace.
,Vnheard,,nnhecded are oe,liiwtl
To others that iifold.spinejaeaven.born art;
And melody—oh! Clearest melody—
tiow,had thine accents, thrilling, to my heart,
4ikened allits strings to sypwathy,
the spirit at thy magic stint !
How had my heart, responsive to ;lie Arain,
Throbb'd in love's will delight, or soothing pain!
In vain, alas ! in vain thy numbers roll—
Within tny heart no echo they inspire;
Though fortti'd by nature in thy sweet control,
To melt with tendernesiorglow with fire;
•Mitifortune closed the portalsoof the soul;;
And,-till an Orpheus rise to sweep the lyre,
Who can to animation kii.dle stone,
To me thy thrilling power must be unknown'-

THE SK4,CAI(.

BY JAMES ''SIONTEWME.RY.
O IYErII,p.AW the gloomy night, ,
With music make the .welkin ring,
Bird of thi,dawu!--7,011 joyful wing,
Soar through.thine element of light, .
Till uptight. in heaven mine eye can see,
Except the morning-star and thee.
0 welcome in the cheerful day !
•Through rosy clouds the .shades retire,
The Aun:hath touch'd thy .plumes.with.fire,
:tkud gitt,thee with a golden ray :
I•TAW thaPeißtul voice ate vanished quite,
Nor eye nor ear can track thy alight.
Could I translate' thy strains,
,and give
Words to thv notes in human tongue,
The sweetest lav that e'er I sung,
The lay that would the longest live,
I might record upon this page,
And sing thy song from age to age.
But speech of inine can ne'er reveal
Secrets, so freely told above,
Yet is•their burden Soy and love,
And all the bliss a birci can feel,
Whose wing in heaven to earth is bound,
Whose home and-heart are on the ground.
Unlike the lark be thou, my friend!
No downward cares thy atoughts'engage,
But in thy house of pilg. rimage,
Though from the grotl,nd thy songs ascend,
Still be their burdenjoy,and love,—
f :leaven is thy house, thy heart above.
