H LTDDERSFIgI.D, TUxSDAY.—We hate had another quiet
day. Few goods of any description have been called for,
with the exception of plain cloth, which has gone off rather
briskly. Stecks are again ria;ng rapidly.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been a good demand
for flannels to-day, at former prices; but perhaps not quite
so many sold as on the two previous Mondays. The wool
market has not been so brisk, and the manufacturers do not
serm so eager to purchase as they have been of late; but

prices continue firm.
LEZDs, TucsDAY.—The business in the White Hall this
week has been fully equal to what was dime last week; the
saws remark applies to Saturday's market in the Coloured
Hall, but we are sorry to report Tuesday's market as ex-
ceedingly dull and flat—as had a market as there has been
for several months past; the principal business done was
is : very little cloth was sold. There have been very few

tweed
buyers in town this week, consequently the sales in the ware-
houses have been limited, and business on the whole flat.
BRADFORD, TIIIIRSDAY.—WOOL MARKET.—There has
been rather ►ess business done during the past week,. which
may be attributed to the near approach of clipping time, when
new wools will be brought to market. The fairs have already
commenced at Pontefract, and to-day is the fair at It'pon.
We have not any change of prices to quote since our last.
Noils and brokes continue in good request at improved prices.
YARN MARKET.—The demand for saris continues stead,

and for all general using numbers an advance is expected to
be obtained without much difficulty. The export houses are
more free to buy; also the mouselin-de-laine makers are
busy, and require more extensive supplies, and there being
no stocks of yarns in the hands of spinners, we may fairly in-
fer their prospects are more eneouraginiz. Prit.ca MARKET.
—The extreme wetness of the day will have preventt d many
merchants from attending; nevertheless, there has been a
considerable quantity of goods changed hands. The lower
finalities of Orleans cloth are ❑ot to be had from stock, and
manufacturers are now making for merchants on account,
with some advance in prices. In other plain and fancy goods
the demand is greatly improved, and the makers are firmer
in prices.

O'CONNELL'S VERACITY.--The radical papers have lately
been entertaining themselves by giving an extract from a re-
cent speech of Mr. O'Connell as to the visit of the Irish Lord
Chancellor to Di. Duncan's Lunatic Asylum. This account,
to the truth of which O'Connell pledged his veracity, is de-
clared by Saunders News Letter to be wholly without foun-
dation. Just what we should have expected, and yet this is
the way in which the wretched old man—renegade alike to
truth and honour—is working out his salvation ! and not a
priest among the whole to cry out the profaneness. 'He re-
quires the prayers which it is said they are about to offer for
him•
Loss OF' THE GRVAT BRITAIN, PACKET-ROM—It is
with regret we report the total ross of the packet-ship Great
Britain, Captain Shaxsin, on her late outward passage to
New York, to:ether with the whole of her valuable cargo.
She was frigate-rigged, of -104 tons hurthen, and was built at
Quebec in the year 1839. The preservation of her crew and
passengers was truly miraculous. After much bad weather,
the vessel on the sth Morch encountered a terrific hurricane,
which halted till the 28th. On the 27th she was a complete
wreck, and seemed to be all but sinking. The seamen seized
the boat, I

)ut, crowding into it too eagerly, it sunk, and one
,
num was drowned. They were left in dreadful suspense till
when v a sail hoe in sight and lay to. The vessels
itPreitirti
nearlyl a mile apart, and the boat used hut small, itwas
with incredible labour and difficulty that all the passengers,
amongst whom were many women and children, were sated.
The ship and cargo were insured for £25,000. No property
whatever was saved. The crew were taken from the wreck
by the ship Philadelphia, bound to Boston, where they were
landed.
POSTAGE STAMPS.—We are enabled to place before our

From this return it will be seen, that the increase of the year
1842 nearly doubled that of the preceding, that Mr. White
alone, in the two years' disposed of stamps to the amount
of £12,076 9s, which reduced into single labels, gives the ex-
traordinary number of 2,898.148, and would if placed length-

ways, extend over a distance of 42 miles and three-quarters,
or the total number sold by the above houses would cover
6,258} square yards, or reach 128 miles, the distance from
London-bridge to Havre. The post-office allowance on post-
age stamps to receiving houses is one per cent.. consequently
the discount to the three offices named would amount to
£239 14s Id, at the trifling rate of remuneration.—Post
