STATE OF TRADE.

TRADE OF LEEDS.—The cloth trade of this district is dull as
compared with what it was a month ago. Within the last fort-
night several firms have discharged a portion of their workmen,
and the purchases of.balk cloth in the halls have been smaller
than for some time previous; but there is still a good deal of
business doing, and wool maintains its price.
BRADFORD MARKET.—On Thursday there was a fair share
of business done in manufactured goods, considering the ad-
vanced period of the year, and there were also asnod many
transactions in wool and yarn. Prices remained firm.
ROCHDALE, DEC. 7.—We had a Cuter market to-day. Seve-
ral buyers who generally attend were absent. Indeed we do
nut expect ionch business this month, and, therefore, the flat-
ness occurs almost as a matter of course. In wools the market
was dull, bat no alteration in price either in wool or goods.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE ELECTION.—The Wellingborough Dis-
trict Conservative Association celebrated their third anniversary
on Thursday bye dinner at the Hind Hotel in that town.
Thomas P. Maunsell, the candidate for the seat vacant by the
death of Lord Milton, and who will be this day put in nomina-
tion as the successor of that nobleman, was present, and address-
ed the meeting at considerable length. In the course of his
speech he said:—lt ought not to he forgotten that we are op-
posed to a government that exists only by means of the preca-
rious support which it receives from the popish party—a govern-
ment who are anxious to overturn the protestant church by
heartlessly consigning the ministers of that church to want and
beggary. The proposal to sacrifice the established religion of
the country—to obtain the favour of a popish demagogue has
been fortunately resisted for the present; but as, no doubt, a
similar experiment will be made in the ensuing session of par-
liament, I did not hesitate to offer reyself to the notice of ray
conservative friends when a vacancy occurred, and nobly, most
nobly, have you done your duty. (Cheers.) What ray prin-
ciples are you all know. In loyal attachment to our glorious
constitution, as it exists in king, lords, and commons, I yield to
no man, nor can any one be more anxious to uphold the just
rights and privileges of our protestant church. I was educated
in the lap of protestantism, and my affection and veneration
for it has grown with ray growth and strengthened with my
strength. _ _ _

MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS.—In a fifth supplement to the
London Gazette of Friday last, published yesterday, the division
and assignment made by the revising barristers in the following
boroughs "appearing to he in certain particulars liable to ob-
jection," the same are disapproved of by the Privy Council,
"but nevertheless his Majesty, by the advice of his Privy Coun-
cil, cloth order that the particulars of the division and assign-
ment so made by the said barristers shall be published in the
London Gazette, in order that such force and validity may be
given thereto as is authorized and directed by the said act: "
Lincoln, Maidstone, Newark, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Newcas-
tle-upon-Tyne, Portsmouth, Reading, Shrewsbury, Southamp-
ton, Stamford, Sunderland, Truro. Walsall, Winchester, Wor-
cester, and York. 'Through inadvertance, it was stated in the
paragraph on this subject in yesterday's paper, that the division
and assignment made by the revising barristers in the following
boroughs, the particulars of which were published in the fourth
supplement to the Gazette of Friday• last, were approved of,
whereas they were, like the foregoing, disapproved of :—Bristol,
Bury, St. Edmund's, Cardiff, Carnarvon, Chichester, Deal,
Devizes, Doncaster, Dover, Durham, Gateshead, Kingston-
upon-[-lull, Kirkby-Kendal, Lancaster, and Leicester.
111011 C CENTRALIZATION NEXT SESSlON.—Amongst the im-
portant questions intended to be brought forward duriug the
next session is a biil for the consolidation of the whole of the
turnpike trusts throughout the kingdom. That much may be
done by consolidating the numerous smaller trusts into larger
districts—say ten to twenty for the whole kingdom—we admit,
but we trust that the independent members of the legislature
ivill be prepared to protest against the centralization system, so
beloved by the philosophical reformers of the present day, with
its host of commissioners, secretaries, &c.—Morning Herald.

THR ADMIRALTY LIST.—The death of Rear-Admiral Joshua
Sydney Horton, who died at Bpulogne-sur-Mer, on the 24th
ult., aged 67 years, makes the twelfth Admiral of various ranks,
viz. :—Six Admirals, two Vice-Admirals, and four Rear-Ad-
mirals (including three from the retired list), who have died
since the Ist of January of the present year, besides twenty post-
captains.

GIVE US A LOCK OF YOUR HAIR MY DARLING?—AD Ame-
rican paper states that a lock of Washington's hair has been
placed in the hands of a gentleman about to sail for England,
with directions to cause it, on his arrival there, to be set in a
breast-pin, at a cost of fifty dollars to the donor, and to be
handed to Lord John Russell, as a present from an American
citizen, who admires his political course.-4 This sounds very
like a second edition of Cobbett and Tom Paine's bones.]

ANALYSIS OF THE DUVIZES POLL.—As the Devizes election
appears to have caused a very general sensation through the
country, we insert au analysis of the votes from the list just
published of those
.persons who polled on the 25th ult., the de-
scription or title being taken from the said list :
For For
Esteourt. Dundas.
Esquires.
Gentlemen -
Clergy of the establishment 4 1
Solicitors
Members of the medical profession 5 4
Bankers
Dissenting ministers 0 3
Members of the established church lll 35
Dissenters l3 110
Though the majority for Mr. Esteourt was only 12, it would
have been upwards of 40, had all voted for him who decidedly
promised to do so. We have heard that 11 persons who gave
him positive promises in the presence of witnesses voted for
Captain Dunda's, stx others were sent out of the way, and three
others were neutral. The solitary clergyman who voted for
Dundas was the Rev. J. Mayo, chaplain to the House of Cor-
rection, and Old Bridewell, Devizes.—Salisbury Herald.
