STATE OF TRADE.

r Bradford market, on Thursday, was pretty brisk, there being
a good demand for all kinds of six-quarter merinos. Figured
and double twills were also much inquired after. In wool there
were some large sales effected at a slight advance. Upon the
whole there are very encouraging prospects for the winter.
Huddersfield cloth market, on Tuesday, was well attended by
buyers, particularly of fancy goods, the demand for which is so
great that the manufacturers can scarcely produce sufficient to
supply the market.
BOLTON, &c.—The bedquilt and counterpane trade is uncom-
monly brisk at present, and all kinds of fancy quiltings are still
in great demand—the weavers in the latter branches, of nearly
every quality, have had their wages advanced. Large figured
checks, fancy sprig. muslins, and satin and spots, &c. continue
to be much enquired after and the application of the jacquard to
figured work progresses most rapidly. There is a most unprece-
dented demand fur 9-8 tine jaconets, for printing, and the wages
of weavers of this description of cloth have, within the last fort-
night, been advanced from ls. to Is. 6d. per cut. This seasonable
advance will be a great relief to the workmen in Chorley, Pres-
ton, Blackburn, Darwen, and the neighbourhood which are the
principal seat of this branch of manufacture. Fine 4-4 jaconets
have been advanced to the weavers here, but notwithstanding,
some are changing to the 9-8. Fine jaconets 20 yards in length
per cut 6-4 wide are also fiequently enquired for. A beautiful
new style of cloth for winter garments composed of silk and
worsted has been introduced, and is likely to prove successful
in the market. Yarns are advancing, as cottons, especially of
fine quality are moving up, and it is the general opinion that
the prices of cloth will shortly improve in despite of a winter
trade. In December the American buyers will be in the market,
and the alteration in the Tariff, which comes into operation in
January next. being of a favourable nature extensive purchases
are anticipated. Our foundries, machine shops, bleaches, prin-
ters. &c. are in full employment, and some of the, bleaching es-
tablishments are so busy, that they are three weeks in arrear with
cloth. Spinning is brisker and we are glad tolearn that the con-
dition of the long suffering hand-loom weavers, has been material-
ly bettered within the last six months. This borough and the
neighbourhood is in a progressive state of healthy improvement
and from the number of establishments lately built and in course
of erection, our operatives of every class, may reasonably hope
for full employment throughout the winter.—Bolton Chronicle.

FOR THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Those girls are wise (the world will say)
Who, while the sun shines, make their hay.
(Answered by a Young Lady.)
The world's advice
Most girls will take;
•
But what must those do
Who've no hay. to make.
2.
Young ladies be rul'd by a friend,
And make it your special regard;
And be sure a new lover you've got
Before you the old onediscard.
3.
On hasty marriage be not bent,
Lest you at leisure may repent. •

4,
As ice be chaste, as snow be pure,
Still calumny you must endure.
5.
Be not to changing ever prone :
No moss sticks to a rolling stone.
6,
Procrastinatination you will find
Will often bring its sorrow;
And what you well can do to-day
Defer not 'til to-morrow.
7.
Mark well this truth, both young and old—
All that glitters is not gold.
8.
Let the world this advice
From experience take—
" From, a sow's ear you can not
A silken purse make.
9.
Old sayings I dash at
'l'hro' thick and thro' thin:
You can't expect more
From a cat than her skin.
10.
This proverb, tho' uttered
In words rather blunt—
You can't expect more
From a pig than a grunt.
11.
At this proverb girls may laugh;
But old birds are not caught with chaff.

12.
The Scotch people say— .
If you wish to fare west, .c
Ye mon tak' a lang spune
To sup kale wi' the dell.
13.
To frugal maxims lend an ear—
A pin a day's a groat a year.
1.1.
If a favourite swain you have lost,
Ladies, don't make a rout of it :
There's still as good fish in the sea,
As at any time ever came uut of it.

This one proverb more
Will finish my rhyme—
One stitch will save many,
If taken in time.

The illness under which the Duke of Beaufort has been for a
long time suffering has assumed such a character as to create
the utmost anxiety and apprehension.—Bristol Gazette.
SUDDILIN DEATH. OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL Ton.—This gal-
lant officer, who had distinguished himself by a long and bril-
liant career in the service of the East India Company, called at
his bankers, Sir Wni. Curtis and Co., Lombard-street, on Tues-
day last, where he was suddenly seized with an apopletic fit;
but by the assistance of the clerks in the office he endeavoured
to reach his carriage, which was at the door. In this attempt
he failed, and was immediately put to bed in the banking-house,
where he expired after some hours, having been insensible from
the commencement of the attack. Mrs. Tod, alto was in the
vehicle when her husband was taken ill, remained with him
durint, his last moments. Lieut.-Col. James Tod was the author
of "Annals of Rajahstan," published a short time ago; a work
distinguished for the liberal and enlightened view it takes of the
history of that interestin, though hitherto little known, portion
of our Indian empire. Col. Tod resided several years in that
district in the capacity of political agent, under the government
of the Marquis of Hastings. His unceasing efforts to promote
the happiness and prosperity of the people under his charge
were universally felt and acknowledged by the natives; who,
according to the testimony of the late Bishop Heber, always
spoke of him in the warmest terms of filial respect and gratitude.
A more estitnabla character as a husband, a father, and as a
friend could not exist, and he ied deeply lamented by a widow
and three children, and a numerous circle or friends. 'The week
before hi, decease he completed another work on Hindostan, on
which occasion he expressed his gratitude that his life had been
spared through a long and severe illness to finish his arduous
undertaking; and that he should, therefore, die happy.
