STATE OF TRADE.

114.twonzsma.—AS is customary at this se,Stin of the year,
the houses in ;he London and country trades are somewhat
inactive. The great proporton of the warehouses, both here
and in London, are engaged in ta'.ing. or preparing to take,
stock, and we may an'tcipate that u til that operation is corn.
pleted a very small amount of business will be transacted.
The stocks of 40. Inch shirtings are beginning to accumulate wt h
many manufacturers of that de cription of good-‘, and prices
are lower. which may be attributed also to the additional cau-e
of the accounts from the East Indies being u 'favourable as re-
wards this kind of cloth. Indeed two many manufacturers have
been Making this rarticular width of cloth, and the consequence
Ht that the ordinary 27 and 28. inch printing cloth is scarce, and
the market is overladen with 40. inch shirtings. The tendency
of this state of things is to maintain the lull 'Aces obtained
last Week for 27-inch printing clo h for autumn, and 28-inch
nit ate also in good demand. The printers and merchants
are buying
and contracting freely for these descriptions of
and the manufacturers being without cloth, are able to
receive their orders to make at.prices which will leave hand-
Scln'e profit. Domestics appear More buoyant. The printers
are busy preparing for the-autumn trade, and we hope and ex-
Pect that the block printefs will be well employed through the
whole of the year, for good printers are expected to he in good
!fecund. 27-inch 6 ;'s, 4s to 5s ; tin's. 5s to 5s 6cl; and 72's,
14 7d to Bs.—Manchester Advertiser, Saturday.
~.LEICESTER.—In Wools and Yarns prices remain stationary;
Cotton has receded Is. a bundle, though the reduction is rather
nominal than actual. The shipping orders are now drawing to
a dose.

L"ns.—There has been an improved demand for goods do-
;„ the past week, and more might have been sold if there
d been a better assortment in he Cloth Halls We are glad
to
learn that the finer qualit;es of cloths are coming into more
request, not only for export but for home consumption.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—On account of the quantity of ba-
s now doing to order, the manufacturers have brought few
qq to the market for the last two or three weeks, and conse-
us:l;4 there ha, appeared to be rather less business doing than
whereas the trade is now remarkably active in almost all
.anehes, especially in the lower description of goods, for
watch the prices are somewhat higher.
era this
_ HReEMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET.—The attendance of buy-
firm, and
week has not been so good as last, but prices remain
the general impression is that they will not recede as
tbe stocks in the merchants' hands are light, and they must soon
begin to Purchase for the autumn trade.
anceitk_UFOßD MARKET.—There was a pretty numerous attend-
ance
merchants here on Thursday, who bought freely at late
ratTient]. Partly for sh
for exports. There was a brisk demand for
ppitig purposes, and prices were conse-
Y very firm. The Wool market was moderately active,
Particularly, for brokes and noils. which. owing to the prices
r, .rn Wing at the London Wool sales, fully maintain late rates,
ure sales of English Combing Wools were slack, as many of
the spinners prefer buying at the various Wool markets of the
season in the county.
HALIFAX MA REET.—We had a fair attendance of buyers here
on Saturday, and purchases to an average extent have been
made, and an expectation seemed to prevail that ere long much
greater activity would be observable. Noils and broke Wools
Sold readily at late rates, but Combing Wools a e rather slow
of sale.
ROCK]) ALK FLANNEL MARK'.—We had an improved
demand for flannels to-day ; but the manufacturers com-
plain much at the very low prices offered by the merchants.
The wool dealers have not been very pressing to sell at former
prices, on account of a report very generally circulated. that, at
the colonial Wool sales in London last week, that article fetched
between Id. and I id. more than at the last sales.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The Cotton cut up Hose
branch is brisker than ever, and the master st ckingcrs cannot
complete their orders. The wrought Cotton-hose branch is still
Slowly decreasing in numbers; there being few or no appren
tices taken, the hands have employment. Many of the wrought
hands being old men, their numbers are decreasing by death, or
they are fast sinking into the workhouse from inadequate
Wages. The drawer and pantaloon branch is still worse, and
*orde of the principal master drawer-hands assure us, that never
ai't moment of years have they known a more ser ions depres-
;L°,a -; still we have the consolation to know, that this is not
f`r'alt
elme of the principal houses in this trade still keeping their
s employed, whilst other large houses have wholly stop
Pelt their frames. There is no improvement in the silk glove nor
~811 Y branch of the silk hosiery trade. The cotton glove trade
T.lll keeps tolerably brisk ; the change of season is taking place
from cotton to woollen, though, as yet, but slightly. There is
bobbin-net
no improvement in any of the varied departments of the
trade—sales are dull, and stocks are slightly accu-
til
sl .
ting. but still it is not seriously so. The warp lace trade
ontinues tolerably good; the lap and press and tatting de-
raZneents being rather better than the silk blonde ; still the
are employed the actual earnings in making Jap and
Press are comparatively low, as the difficulty of making. these
goods is very great, from the circumstance of their being com_ e
d to work in such a thick cotton thread.

Upwards of s')o runaway marriages are still, it is said,
annually performed at Gretna'Green.
BERNARD GREGORY.—The trial of this personage for
their which stood for Friday last, has been postponed
twit after Hilary Term, 1845, on aecount of the ill health
?1 the defendant. The libel imputed to the Duke of
Thßrunswick that he was the person who murdered a wo-
I u. a few years ago, in a house a short way over Water-
°°-bride.
assembly
CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—The moderator and
---111°1Y of this body recently sent a congratulatory ad-
dress to Sir James Graham to be p: tsented to the Queen
on her Majesty's birthday. The at dress commenced by
styling themselves "the moderator and general assembly
of the Free Church of Scotland" ; but Sir James, in his
reply, refused to grant this title to the venerable body,
and acknowledged the receipt oft! e address as signed " on
the part of ceitain ministers and elders of a Ctirislian
Church."

THE KING OF SAXONY.—IIis Majesty was expected
to leave Buckingham Palace yesterday (Monday) for
Scotland, attended by Lord Charles Wellesley, who has
the honour of having been selected by the Queen to at-
tend his Majesty. After visiting Edinburgh, Perth,
Glasgow, Stirling, &c., his Majesty intends to make a

lis, whence the King shortly afterwards departs for Ger-
many. His Majesty has been engaged during the past

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—This Imperial Majesty
arrived at Rotterdam, on Monday evening at four o'clock.
The Emperor ordered diamond rings to be presented to
the first and second masters and engineers of the Black
Eagle and Lightning steamers, and .£4OO to be distributed
amongst the crews of those vessels on their arrival in
England. The Emperor had left Rotterdam, when the
Lightning set out on her return to England. Amongst
the presents, &c., which the Emperor made during his
stay in this country, were Gold snuff-boxes, set with dia-
monds, watches, and rings, besides £2,000 in money to

LIBEL.—At the Court of Westminster, on Saturday, a
wise of Smith and wife v. Paget, was tried before Lord
Denman and a special jury. Ihe defendant is the rector
of Elford, near Tamworth, iu the county of Stafford, and
is nephew to the Marquis of Anglesey. The plaintiffs are
the owners of a large millinery and dressmaking esta-
blishment at the corner of Brook-street and Hanover-
square ; and the action was brought to recovet compen-
sation in damages for the injury which the plaintiffs
alleged to have been done to their character and interests
bY the publication of work called " The Paeant or
Pleasure and its Price,"a of which the rev. defendant is
the author, and which contained in the preface a passage
?7, I?ich, as the plaintiffs contended, reflected grossly and
injuriously upon the character and conduct of their esta-
blishment. The object of the rev. gentleman's work was
to call the attention of young ladies of fashion to the
dreadful calamities which, for the purpose of gratifying
their own luxury and ostentation, they inflict upon the
young women who are employed in ministering to the
gratification of their vanity. The female defendant was
described in the work as Mrs. S.- and H- S-,
and as treating her apprentices with great inhumanity.
The jury returned a verdict of £3OO for the plaintiffs.

Gentlemen.—Of the last supply of OLDRIDGE'S BALM of
COLUMBIA, every bottle was sold immediately on receipt, and
I have many more bespoke, only waiting for a farther supply,
which I hope you will send without the least delay. Orders
have poured in more than ever since the• powerful effects of the
Balm have been so decisively demonStrated in the cases of se-
veral:eredible and respectable inhabitants of the town. One in.
stance, among others which have attracted particular attention.
is the case of a gentleman who had had tle or no hair for
twenty years :he had tried numerous pr rations in vain, and
ultimately had his head shaved, and wo a wig. At my recom-
mendation he tried the Balm ; and er using it according to
the directions for a short time, they ung hair appeared, and he
bas now as fine a head of hair as y person in Whitby.

THE HAIR.—At the toilet, no greater anxiety is more
generally felt than the consideration of perfecting that
beautiful ornament, the hair! The delightful and fasci-
nating charms of a fine head of hair being the most
admirable decoration of either sex. The features of
:11 individual may be irregular and ill-proportioned, or the
eyes inexpressive, but with the possession of this essential
m "'nee, no countenance can look absolutely plain. Like
~an Hy things of much importance, but lightly' estimated,
"Le air (from a variety of causes) is frequently neglected,
and its decay is often the first sympt6m of declining
health ' • when such is the case, the su -er anxiously looks
