COURT AND FASHION.
The Court still remains in the Isle of Wight.
Louis Philippe and suite were not last week on a visit to
Sir Robert Peel at Drayton Manor, as stated.
The Duke of Wellington and Lord Palmerston visited
the Prince of Parma on Thursday, at Mivart's Hotel.
M. Guizot arrived in town on Monday from visiting Sir
Robert and Lady Peel, at Drayton Manor, and has since
gone to visit Prince Lieven, at Brighton.
PRINCE ALBERT A HIGHLAND LAIRD.—On Wednesday.
week the estate of Birk Hall, adjoining Balmoral, was ex-
posed for sale in Edinburgh, and taken out at the upset
price, £14,900, for Prince Albert. At the same time the
life rent of the entailed estate of Abergeldie, another ad-
joining property, was put up for sale, and taken for the
heir of entail, Mr. Gordon, of Abergeldie. It is under-
stood that negotiations are in progress, whereby his
Royal Highness will become lessee of Abergeldie. From
these circumstances, it is but reasonable to conclude, that
Balmoral will henceforth take its place in the same cate-
gory with Osborne House. and the other rova. reqLl...en,vm

season he must be welcomed in his new character of a
Highland Laird.

STATE OF TRADE. -
MANCHESTER.—The market has exhibited somewhat less
buoyancy throughout the week, and this feature has been ob-
servable more generally during the lag two days, which may
he arronntpri bar th. nv••••••••••,.,

spinners ant

a course which they
are justified in pursuing, by the orders the majority have on
hand; and under such circumstances, it cannot he a matter of
surprise that they should decline to put themselves under ex-
tended contracts, at anything below the highest rates current,
but at such rates contracts for future delivery will be generally
taken. The brisk demand which has existed for the last few
weeks has put both spinners and manufacturers in possession
of such orders as will see the major part of them fully through
the year to execute. Buyers seem rather more unwilling to
give the highest prices generally current, most probably in con-
sequence of some appearance of weakness in the cotton market
since Wednesday, which prompts them to wait—in the absence
of pressing orders—for a short time, to see the course prices
are likely to take. Under these circumstances, although there
has been a good general business done throughout the week,
there has not been so animated a demand as lately for several
weeks we have had to report.
LEEDS.—The woollen trade of this town and neighbourhood
continues in much the same state as we have had to report for
some time past. For the period of the year, an average amount
of business has been doing. Prices are firm, although stocks
are rather on the increase.
BRADFORD —Wools: There has been more wool changing
hands during the past week, and the spinners generally have
not large stocks. The supply in this market is now barely an average for this time of the
.year. Noils and shorts are not
altered either in demand or prices. Yarns : The contracts for
bobbins for the month about commencing have not been done
on such advantageous terms for the manufacturers as for the
month now closing. For all kinds, both low, middle, and fine
numbers, there is no disposition to take orders except at higher
prices. Pieces : There is no slackening in the demand for
plain goods, and the stocks in the bands of both merchants and
manufacturers are unprecedentedly low, and the prospects for
the winter are more favourable, so far as orders go, than we
have had for some time past. Fancy goods are not active, nor
any new styles introduced which aresafe to order for the spring
for the home trade.
HALtri.x.—ln worsted goods and yarns, we have no altera-
tion to report since our last. Wool remains firm, at the late
advance, and the growers, anticipating a further improvement,
are holding their stocks for still higher rates ; but the prospects
of trade do not seem to warrant any such expectation.
HUDDERSFIELD.—We have not had much of a inarket this
week; the demand having been limited to the immediate wants
of the parties concerned. There is no alteration in prices worth
noticing.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—The flannel market conti-
nues to be well attended, and middling qualities of flannels are
in good. demand.. Strong Yorkshire goods and dyed flannels
are much sought after, and sell readily at previous rates. All
other descriptions of flannel goods remain much the same -as
our last, both in demand and prices. The wool market has
been moderately brisk, and prices firm. The hands employed
in the flannel trade have full work, and those employed on the
band looms have not had so much work as at present for the
last twelve months. The hands in the cotton mills have nearly
a 11 of them full workt wages are low.
