IMPROVEMENTS OF TRADE

MA.NcitEsmt.—Our market continues to exhibit the
same healthy appearance we noticed last week, and pric:=s
for all widths and descriptions of cloth remain firm. Thq
news from the East is considered favourable, and 40-inch
shirtings are in good request at the extreme rates of last
week. 27.. inch 72's is the only description of cloth that
is a drug upon the market, and good 51b. is still selling
for cash down at ss. Domestic cloth is in good request,
and at paying prices ; and most of the manufacturers are
engaged for all they are making, but most particularly for
27 inches. The printers are also very busy, and most of the
job printers have given notice to their customers, that,
iit
consequence of the advance in madder, they must have an ad-.
vance of 3d. per piece for printing, which houses will be
forced to give. 27-inch 66's may be quoted 4s. 6d. to 4s.
9d. : and 72's, 4s. 9d. to 55., although many manufacturers
are asking ss. 3d.—Manchester _Advertiser of Saturday.
TRADE or LEEDS.—The improvement which we an-
nounced last week had taken place in the staple trade of
this district, we are glad to say, has not received any check,
but, on the contrary, has been acceleratedtd duringn
the presen t
week. The amount of business ce i❑ our cloth
halls on Saturday and Tuesday last exceeded that of airy of
the preceding market days of the presea y
is " ear. Priclookinges, hov,_
ever, do not advance, but trade in general up,,,
m
and the manufacturers are doing ore work than they have
been for a long time past.—Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday.
[lmprovements are reported in various other districts,
which we have not space to notice.l

Tic DoLottnEtrx.—Dr. S. Richot, of Metz, relates in his
thesis, presented to the faculty of medicine of Strasburg,
four cases of this disease, which, after resisting the ordinart
treatment, yielded to the Peruvian bark ; one grain snuff,
two grains mixed and used as snuff. He says he alwaystwo

coated over with nutmeg grated.

r - A GOOD LANDLORD.—Mr. John Gladstone, of Fasque,
has shewn the landlords of the country an example which,

their
sirwfhairCml
such
hnts whothe whf have

' we trust, will be generally

; tion of his tenants, and which, as will be seen
fromfm this day's
feoarit'hjej'addgeop°s
paper, they have thankfully accepted, promise be in the
highest degree beneficial to landlord and tenant. He agrees
to give a considerable deduction from the rent of this year to
all who shall, within the year, drain and subsoil plough a
certain proportion of the extent of their farms, he himself
paying the expense of these operations, and accommodating
those who may be unable to procure operations ,sand plough, with
the use of one. In return, he receives from the tenant four
per cent on the money paid by him for the improvement, in
name of interest, or more properly, additional rent, for the
improved value of the land. Now that there is every proba-
bility that the value of the produce of the land will be
whoper-
manently reduced, it is especially incumbent upon all
have the power, to contribute to the utmost to increase its
productiveness, so as to repy the farmer for his toil, at the
same time that they are enriching the country, and increas-
ing the amount of subsistence at the command of the people.
There are many landlords, who, perhaps, have not the same
command of means to effect this object as Mr. Gladstone
has, but most of them can do something ; and all should, for
their own sakes, do as much as they can. The equity of the
rule cannot be denied, that the permanent improvements
upon land should be at the expense of bim who has a perma-
nent interest in it,—the tenant, of course, paying for the
benefit he derives during the occupancy.--111ontrose Paper.
