STATE OF TRADE.

Luaus TRADS.—A good deal of business has been done in
woollen cloths, since our last, both for the home and foreign
trade.

BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a large attendance of
buyers in the market, on Thursday, and a considerable quantity
of business was transacted. 'The 'demand for both the foreign
and domestic trade is good, and there are but small stocks of
manufactured goods on hand, consequently prices have some-
what improved. There was but a small supply of yarn in the
market, and in many cases the spinners obtained un advance.
Clog wools are in request, but Nether fleeces are dull sale.
Ilu DDERSFIELD.—We.hid a good muster of buyers here on
Tuesday, and many extensive sales were effected, but without
any material improvement in price.
ROCHDALE, MAY B.—This week there has been more activity
in our market. Goods have gone off very well, and our pros-
pects seem to be more cheering. The manufacturers cannot as
yet get-any advance on their goods, and wages are therefore
very low, as the raw material cannot be purchased at old prices,
In the wool market then! was a brisk demand for low and
middling qualities, on which a trifling advance took place; in
the best sorts there was uo alteration.

'return, APRIL 24.—Our trade is very prosperous. Many
orders have been received from Napoli, Alexandria, and Smyrna.
We have also more trade with South America, which may be-
come important when tranquillity is established on that conti-
nent, The Spanish consul here, who had not been recognised
by the imperial government, has now received his exequater:
this may be advantageous in our intercourse with Spain. We
are looking► forward with' eager expectation for the time when
King Otho will assume the government, which, it is hOped, will
be the commencement of a new and happy era for Greece. The
Albanians on the frontiers again attempted more prcdatory mea-
sures, but were quickly repulsed. There ie a great demand here
for copper, zinc, and. quicksilver. The house of Rothschild,
which farms all the mines of these metals in Spain, will doubt-
less make large profits, as these are now pretty high in price.
There is some talk of an iron railroad from this placeto Vienna,
and thence to the frontier* of Galicia.--Allyemeine. Zeitung,

Letters from' Alexandria'fieve been received at Marseilles up
to the end of March. Up to that period, according to official.
reports, 20,000 persons had been attacked by the plague, of
whom 14,000 had perished:. The .number of new cases, as well
as of details, was, howevei! daily 'dirninishing, so that it was
hop ed.the extreme petithe* ixis 'sea t *et tuff appear that
there had been anyniOrtiifity atnong the consuls; nierchentii'cie
other Europeans. In fact, beside the strictquaiantine,:bvviitue of
which they confine thenfselves to their own houses, boil in.t,own
and country, ti:uropeans are' less likely than natives to be at-
tacked by the plague, experience proving, too, that their cOtisti-
tutions resist it better when.attacked.

The catholic congregation of a village in the neighbourhood
of Frankfort, dissausfied with the priest seut to them, recently
requested to have their former pastor returned, threatening that
they would otherwise embrace en masse the protestant
The preceding clergyman had, it seems, made some reforms in
the service which led to a rebuke friim the superior ecclesiastics,
in consequence of which he resigned.
