THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SOCIETY—AMATEUR
PERFORMANCE.—We learn that it is contemplated by
this society to give in a short time an amateur enter-
tainment at the Theatre-Royal, in aid of the funds of their
excellent institution for the support of the widows, decayed
members, and orphans of the fraternity, and the education
of the children. The objt.ct is highly praiseworthy ; and
as it is purposed that the pieces will be performed by mem-
bers of their own body, several of whom are rumoured to
be possessed of histrionic talent of a respectable order, vv e
have no doubt, if the intention be carried out, but that the
appeal will be responded to by the Liverpool public with
that liberality which characterises them on all benevolent
occasions.

POTATOES AND LOBSTERS FOR LtvenPoot..—Potstoes
shipped for Liverpool and other ports still form a con-
siderable branch of trade from the different ports of Dum-
friesshire and Galloway ; and prices at a distance are still
advancing rather than declining. The best picked table
potatoes, put up in bags, bring, in Liverpool, 2s. to 2s 2d.
per 90 pounds ; and as this figure is 22 pounds beneath
the cwt. or purchase tale, the shippers will realise, we
should suppose, a fair living profit.—Dumfries Courier.
Ttiis year lobsters have increased on the hands of the
fishermen of the Hebrides, and the Liverpool fishmongers,
taking advantage of the supply being only once a fort-
night from Scotland, have reduced the price, and sub-
jected the fishermen to other deductions, which bid fair
to cripple, if not altogether to destroy, this branch of
employment for the inhabitants of the western isles. On
Saturd.y evening upwards of twenty large boxes, cram-
med full of lobsters, from Mull alone, were sent by the
steamer from this port to Liverpool.—Greenock Adver-
tiser.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCITESTEL—The state of our market a little before Christ.
mas is always dill and inanimate, and the past week forms no
contradiction to this rule. It would, therefore, be trifling will
our readers to deal in description of ideal balk or enumerate
tra. sections that had never occurred : nevertheless, that, flat
as things have been, the week's business is of a heaver character
than the corresponding week in last )ear. Manchester Acker.
tiser. of Saturday.
Leans.—Though there has been no great extent of business
doing in the cloth halls of late, there has been no accumulation
of stocks in the halls; those manufacturers who have not been
engaged in making to order have wisely limited their produc-
tions , and, as a necessary consequence, the prices of the cuths
offered for sale continue firm. The chief purchases now made
are for assortment; and no speculative purchases are expected

FIUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The attendance of merchants here
on Tuesday was considerable. and their dealings were of a cha-
racter to affor t good promise of an early and active spring trade.
Th.. trade at this season is usually very dull, especially in fancy
cloths; but on Tuesday every, hing was purchased that could he
pat t.ed with ni terms is shade more favourable than at late
markets. The w:)ol market was firm.

BRADFORD MARKET.—Thera was a good attendance of
buyers here on Thursday, who bought freely the heavier kinds
of winter goods, late prices being fully sustaine ', as the stock
in the market was not tai ge. In other descriptions of mann-
fac 1,700ds there was a better demand, but satisfactory prices
were not in all cases realsed. The yar market was active ;
and, as stocks were low, prices were firm. The wool market
was firm, and iwing to the prices est ed by the staplers, the
spinners bought cautious y, and only to meet the r immediate
wants.

FIALLrAx NlAtt K KT.—There was a Road attendance of buyers
for the"Weason, and a fair business was done in pieces at late
rates: The yarn trade was also active ; ki d the wood market
was brisk, and as regards prices very firm, both for combing
wools, shorts, and ;toils.

ROCIIDALZ FLANNKL MA Rlg7.—Thete has been an improved
demand for goods to day, and considerably more have been
sold ht former p ices. The dens od for wool is also increasing,
and prices slow lyon the advance.

VARIETIES.

A CON FOR THE LAWYERS.—Why are counsellors'
fees cheap ?—Because they are bar-gains.
CONSIDERATE.—The clock at the palace of the Tuile-
ries is always kept five minutes too slow, in consideration,
as the King cannot wait, to those whom unavoidable acci-
dent may have prevented from keeping their appointments.
A SPLASH.—A gentleman, having fallen into the river
Exe, relating it to Sir T. A., said, " You will suppose I
was pretty wet." " Yes," said the baronet, " wet, cer-
tainly, in Exe-stream" (extreme.)

NEW DOS A DOS.
The pride of priests whose churches boast a steeple,
Is now to turn their backs upon the peo le !
Ar,d what's the remedy ? This they have at least,
That they can turn their backs upon the priest !
,RIGHT OF OPINION.—A Dutch judge, in a case before
him in which the right of opinion was brought in question,
it was argued for the party whose right wes questioned,
that in his country (America) every man has a right freely
to express his opinions. To this the judge replied, with
great complacency, " 0 gall I Every man has the right,
by the law, in this free Republic, to dink for himself, pro-
vided he dinks with the court."

FALLING IN LOVE WITH A LARGE FAMILY.—There
was a certain Lady Mapleberry, " with six unmarried
daughters ;—one of those large, lively, goodhumoured,
singing, dancing, riding, chatting families, where a young
man seeking a wife is apt to fall in love with the joint-
stock merit and animation of the group ; and to feel quite
astonished on discovering, after his union with Harriet or
Jane, how moderate a proportion he has received in his
lawful sixth of the music, information. accomplishments,
and good-humoured gossipry of the united tribe."

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, DEc. 20.

i

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 17.
This being the week called by the butchers Christmas week,
caused both a large show of prime stock as well as a large at-
tendance of buyers ; all prime Beef early bought up, but inferior
quite a drug. The best Mutton ready sale; in prices a nominal
change, but the very full rates of last week were readily ob-
tained, say sd to Sid per lb. for prime Beef and Mutton.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-12-24

LEEDS CORN MARKET. DEC. 17.

We had fair supplies of grain this week, but the change in the
weather caused also a change in the condition of inferior Wheat;
caused a heavy market for all but the very best runs, and for
such prices rather higher. Only fine Barley brought prk vious
rates, other qualities quite neglected. In Beans, Oats, and
Shelling, not much doing, and pri es unvaried from last week.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, DEC. 18.
During the present week, the frost having disappeared, the
inquiry for Wheat has been less active, but pric,,s were main-
tained. Malting Barley also sold on former terms; in grinding
little passing. Oats realised the currency of last market day.
English Beans more plentiful, and rather cheaper.
