van bosom of reviving nature. 1t is we'll known
| that the delicate foliage of the beech woods is the
object generally of universal admiration about
the period that the cherries are in blossom, and
that the oak, vying with the surrounding forest,
adds to the charms of the scenery, by contrasting
a sombre majesty with its verdant and blooming
neighbors. This year. however, the reverse is
the fact; for although the cherry trees were in full
bloom, the beech was still bare on the esd inst.

Irade.-The lamented illness of the King has
caused a considerable stagnation in the fancy
trade. but we hope that both cause and effect will
soon be at an end by his Majesty's restoration to
health. The cloth business at Leeds is in a con-
siderable hustle; and improvement is perceptible,
even in price, at Halifax, Bradford, Hudders-
field, &c. At Barnsley more. work is given out
to the linen weavers: there is, however, scarcely
any advance in wages. In the manufacturing
villages around Huddersfeld many of the poor
work people still suffer extreme distress
