',Reps.—The dullness which we noticed two or three weeks
'go still ove hangs our markets. Although our manufacturers
"d dressers are generally pretty busy, there is not the same
a,,,(tivitY that prevailed a short time since in the demand for low
"Rds. but there is an improvement in the sales for fine cloths,

Were wily mats stained. There is a good assortment of wool in
the_market, Which fetched recent rates.
HALIFAX Marreet.There was an universal paucity in the
:attendance of buyers at this market on Saturday, and a propor-
`Lonately small amount of busines was transacted in piece
goods. The' ales cifyarns were also fewer in number and quan-

hieneement of the -ummer trade with Germany seems to have
bow folly set in,.as there were comparatively few of the buyers
13"eeled with the division of the continent at this market on

Easter ONDwixa BLANKET MARE-Er —On Monday, being
or londay, there was but a meagre attendance of buyers
.„. nianUfacturers, consequently but little business done. On
faarsday there Were some considerable orders put out for the
"P6rt trade, but for the home trade there was but little demand.
.:nt'CRDALE FLANNEL Malt:awn—To day has been one of the
meltest makets we have had of late ; very few buyers having
„attended, and the business transacted having been upon a very
.Paited scale. The wool m •rket has been no better than the
`Piece market, and few salesliare been effected.
LEICESTER.—There is no 'improvement to report this week -in
'the demand for goods •; While the prices of material are a little
'easier, though no positive reduction has yet been generally
made. We hope that more orders may soon be reeerved, to-en-
able the manufacturers to continue moving in the improvement
of wages.—Leicester 'Chronicle.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—We cannot retort any con-
siderable alteration in the cotton hosiery trade, though the Spring
has not brought withat the expected increased demand. The
eut•up cotton hose:branch continues tolerably brisk, and, as we
have before —thaerved, seems likely to continue ,so, as 'we hear

tiTLL--STREET MARKET.—The pedlar's shops -now in
coarse of-erection in the yard attached to-this new market
I'? now nearly completed, and are'neatly all already let.
berriarket has been found a great convenience to the in-
habitants of the district. It is exceedingly well supplied
generally, and on Saturday especially, with the-choicest
raeat, vegetables and all sorts of provisions, which are
%ffered so mOderate a price that prrties even from a
qiistarice et
lave become frequent visitors. The shops,
'taila,"otnd standings continue to belet to respectable te-
Tanta ; and the market is viithalseo remarkably clean, well
,ghted-nnd airy, that it has become a favourite resort of
'4°tlsekeepers and other purchasers. It .willibe seen by
'4ll advertisement in another column,. that someof the spa-
F-Pua, dry, and well rentilated cellars below are to be let.

qh:"tPLETON'S MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENTS.—During
,Past week this excellent performer of Scottish musicir -peen giving a series of entertainments at the Theatre-
:`,.,°Yal, Church-street, to highly-respectable audiences,
though not to such numerous ones as we could have
-wished to see, or Mr. VemPleton's exquisite singing of
the music of his native land should have Mtracted. On
3Wednesday evening
the s"....,ject of the entertainment was
the music of Mary Queen of Scots, which was interwoven
ir WI a most interesting sketch of the life of that most
unfortunate queen. The -various songs introduced were
given with great taste, and many of them received with
,enthusiastic marks of approval, and someecncored. In
particular, we may notice the eon', of " Row on, row on,"
pich was most drat-rid-fleetly and effectively given, and
peated. On' Thursday' a selected. entertcinment was
given, containing many favourites of-the iiii6ll6, which
were beautifully Sat.-On Friday morning an entirely
original entertainment was introduced, at the Asembly-
„room, Great George-street, being a selection from the
lays of the last grmt Scottish minstrel. Walter Scott,
And repeated on Saturday evening at the Theatre. The
'aneclotes and it -relive remarks accompany.ing the songs
were of a very interesting character; and many of the
B"gs them=elvf s werc beautifully given, and elicited the
marked avian eof the heaners. In particular, we may
"°tite the sone of " Donald-Caird," which was sung with
great comic effect; " Lochinvar," which was given with
much spirit and effect; the .song of the Squire Eustice,
from Marmion, " Where shall the lover rest ? " which
elicited a hearty encore.; and " 'Tis merry; 'tis merry in
'fairy land," an exquisite -song. The gem of this enter-
tainment
, however, was "The Last Words of Marmion,"front the music of Dr..Glarke, which was given with an
energy, expression, and feeling, which electrified the au-
'4lience. We cannot -butexpress here our admiration of
the manner in which the descriptive portion of Mr. Tem-
Pleton's entertainments .hos,heen arrangedi.2nd of the
-dramatic effect whicb.the singer gives to the .various corn-
Positions which he has-selected for the amusement of his
`Andience. The former display considerable, industry, re-
' Eearch, and taste- and by the:latter we are reminded that
"Whatever may be his talents as a musician and vocalist,
"dr. Templeton ranks :high .asnri actor as well. We may
84gest, by the bye, that whilst two such operatic singers
48 this gentleman and Mr. IL Phillips are in town, it
,61ight be worth the while of the management of our
theatre-Royal to try the experiment of a series of our
first-rate English operas, which, we are assured, would
e gratefully received by the playg,oing public.
