'erias into a long discussion upon a question of this dad , which would lead to no useful remit , and must -nlv endin the postponement ofthe bill ; the course , .: , erefore , they had thought the best which , under extstja » circumstances , they could adopt , was to ' withdraw ihe bill for the present session . ( Lond expressions of surprise , blended with laughter , iu which Bfr Hdd « m joined with so much heartiness that bis mirth became infectious , and extended to all tha members near him except ColonelSibthorp ., The sjovernmenthad though it best that they should withdraw this bill , «*»?•* " ! - Hon introduce another bm founded upon tos . He marej . ferefore . that the order ofthe day tor th . second reading of the biU be discharged . inaudible
Col SraraoM rose but wasat first , owing Col . Sibtbom ™ "J £ . Mi leaTtos the house . £ & T * m £ S * fand gaUentmember said , he J ^ f verlnh ? £ & n such vacillation on the part ^ f fi mment Wasitfair that the house should b-« , « trifled with by government which was , if possible , Cneht diwn to the house , and sat listening for two hairl to s speech of the right hon . gentleman which had ended in nothing . For shame ! ( Hear , hear . ) Was it lair to hon . members to be brought down to the house , and thus treated with contempt » When he heard the right hon . gentleman's concluding declaration , he suspected—and he believed the right hon . gentleman , the member for Sunderland ( Mr Hudson ) , must have had the same impression too , for he was too honourable a man to be intriguing withgovernment—he mightsuspect , and he did suspect that there had been gross
underhand business connected with the management , or ratter the mismanagement of this bill , when they saw the government daring to insult the people of this country in such a manner . He thought the house would agree with him that it was insulting tothe country , and trifling with tbe country for the right hon . gentleman to bring hon . members down to the heuse to listen to a two hours ' speech , and then subject them to this unworthy treatment . Talk of bringing in the bill next session , they dared not do it ; they would shrink from it . He reserved to himself the right , and he gave notice of his intention to call the attention of the house , on the first Committee of Supply , and to bring before the public the mass of evidence of gross misconduct connected with facte monopolizing schemes . The house must take steps before it is too late to secure the public against the
efftets of this misconduct . He asserted that the public -were not aware of one-twentieth part of what had oc earred with regard to railroads . He knew that the gen . tlemen * ho conducted the public press did , at it was their * rty to do , give publicity to what was going forward ; butiasplte of their attention , and assiduity , and fidelity , and accuracy , they were not aware ef many facts of -whichhe possessed a knowledge . The next parliament , he expected , would be & railroad parliament , and the government would say there was such an opposition to the measure that they feared to be left in aminority , and thereby lose their situations , and they would , as they had done now , trnckle to the railway interest , as they
often did to parties on their own side . Ob , what a melancholy state of things was this for the country ' . If that great man , Mr Pitt , were in the house , he might truly exclaim , " Oh , save my country V He ( Colonel Sibihop ) hardly believed such conduct had been exhibited by any government . He did not believe it was the intention of the government to attempt tolntrodoce this bill next session , but if he were returned to the next parliament tbe would take up the question of railroads , which he had been prevented from doing now by the pusillanimity of the present government . He could not sit down without expressing , not his regret but his satisfaction , at having hadan opportunity of witnessing their pusillanimity , so worthy of the government
Mr Roebuck said , a more undignified way of disposing of a measure bj a government he had never seen . He found upon the paper a notice tbat the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to move the second reading of the Railway , ( So . 2 ) Bill before the ether orders , ' and he had come down with other members , expecting that the government , as they had solemnly declared , were to go on with the bill , and he found , on a sudden , that the but was to be withdrawn . They had thus lost a day , and a great part of another day , and had to listen unnecessarily to a two hours' speech . He thought that
something must have happened since the votes were printed . ! The house had missed one railway bill ; there was another , the Railway ( Ireland , No . 2 ) Bill . He was anxious to know whether the noble lord would at once give up the Railways ( Ireland ) Bill . He wished to pay every deference to tbe noble lord , as to the mode in -which he proposed proceeding with his own measures , but he must at the same time observe that that was a measure which could-not pass without considerable discussion ; he therefore wished to know whether the noble lord intended to press it during the present session !
Mr Ucusosr expressed bis acknowledgments to Mr Strutt for the withdrawing the bill and warned the house ef the inconvenience of tampering with property , now amounting iu value to nearly two hundred millions sterling . lord J . Eosseil denied that the " object of the bill was -unnecessarily te interfere ' with private property , it being simply to improve the railway system of the country . He then stated that it was the Intention of the government to proceed with the Irish Bail way Bill , in reference to which his views were very different from those expressed by Mr Roebuck . The second reading of the Irish Railway Bill was then postponed till Friday .
Lord G . Bestisck , after once more congratulating the government upon its adoption , in reference to the bill , of the principle which he had advocated in introducing the sixteen Trillion bill , intimated that it was not his intention to offer any amendment to it , bat ttrpress upon the government ihe necessity for a farther practical extension of the principle which it embodied . The bill was then withdrawn , several others followed in its wake , and the other orders having been disposed of , the house rose at a quarter past eight o clock . TUESDAf . JnsB 22 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —Railway Business . —lord Bbocgham , in postponing his railway resolutions until Monday next , took occasion to express his disappoint mint at the sudden withdrawal of the Railway Bill in the other house of parliament . Anything more lamentable , be mightadd more ridiculous , he never knew . Bishofbic of MakchestehBili .. —On the order of the day for the committee on this bill ,
The Bishop of Exeter said that there seemed to him to be special objections to it on constitutional grounds . The bill claimed for the sovereign the right of appointing bishops without at the same time giving to them their writ of summons to tbe House of Peers . Now , according both to Lord Coke and Sir Matthew Hale , this was a contravention of the constitution . Tbe Lord Chascelloe said that the hill claimed no unconstitutional power for the crown . Nobody questioned the right of every bishop existing to bis writ of summons , but this was a scheme for creating feur new bishops without that right , except as vacancies should occur , and the scheme was expressly submitted to parliament for its approbation . The crown would do nothing in the matter without the consent of parliament . The house then went into committee . The first clause was agreed to .
Lord Redesdale moved the omission of the second clause , and to substitute the following : — " And whereas doubts may arise whether bishops of the new sees to bs established nnder the powers of this act may not demand , as of right , writs of summons to parliament , be it therefore enacted , pursuant to the declaration of Her Majesty hereinbefore recited , that until Her Majesty shall be graciously pleased to summon to parliament any bishop holding one of the said sees , no bishop holding that sea shall be entitled to demand , as of right , a writ of summons to parliament . " After a brief discussion , in which Lord Stanley , the Lord Chancellor , aad the Bishop of Louden , took part , their lordships divided—For the original clause ** Tor the am . eHd . ment 4 ........ < - < 14 Majority —3 °
The remaining clauses then passed through committee , and after the various bills had been advanced a stage their lordships adjourned at a quarter-past eight . HOUSE OF COMMOSS . —Mr Villiebs once more directed the attention of the house to the issue pending between himself and Mr Christie , in reference to the natore of the questions put by the latter to Sir F . Lewis , who was examined as a witness before the Andorer committee , and read several extracts from the journals of the House , which he contended justified the allegations whichhe bad made with respect to the improper nature of the questions alluded to .
Mr Cubistie said he was satisfied from the mode in which the house yesterday received the denial he gave to the statement ofthe hon . member for Wolverhampton , and from the testimony which was borne to his conduct by those hon . members who saw and heard him daily , what the feeling ofthe house was , and he should think it beneath him again to deny what he had yesterday denied on his honour as a gentleman . ( Hear . ) The ma tter then dropped . Co pper Duties . —Mr Muntz then moved that the Hoose resolve itself into a committee of customs to consider the duties upon the importation of copper ( Act 5 and 6 Vict ., c . 47 , ) with a view to their reduction or abo-Ww- , ,,. » - Mr Ewaxt seconded the motion . And after a few words from Sir ChaBT . es Lemon ,
The Chanceixob of the Exchequer , without entering into tbe question involved in the motion , felt himself called upon to resist it , as he was not then in a better situation than be was at the commencement of the session , when he resisted sinrilar motions presented by other honourable gentlemen , to sacrifice any itenvof the national income . ' A desultory conversation ensued , after which the house suvided , anil the numbers were—For the motion •••• •¦•• ™ Against it ... •••¦• , „ Majority . —40
Waste Iahds is Ibeland . —Mr P . Scbopb rose to move— " That the waste lands of Ireland offer flU available resource for the immediate employment and future maintenance of apart of her population , now apparently redundant ; and that it is expedient to apply them to this great national object ^ making equitable compensation to their present proprietors . " Twelve years ago he brought before thehouse a similar proposition , and he thought it one of the most important measures for the relief of Ireland . Half a million of men were starvingfor want of employment .
. Hou3e Op Commoits; [The Importance Of ...
An Hon . Mora" here moved tbat the fasuM be counted , and there being only thirty members present ; ihe house stood adjourned at half-past seven o ' clock . / WEDNESDAY , Joke 8 s . HOUSE . OF COMMONS . —After dUrpoilug at some private business , and a conversation as to the time whea several important bills would be proceeded with , t . e bouse went into committee on the Seduction and Prostitution Bill . Clause 1 waa agreed to nea . eon . The second clause , enacting that no indictment should be quashed for want of form , was expunged ^ Onthe third clause , which provided that the court may order payment of costs and expenses of prosecutors and witnesses .
Mr C Beikelet moved the omission of the words "whether any bill of indictment for such charge shall or shall not be actually preferred , " and also of the words " together with a compensation for their trouble and loss of time . " Mr Sfooker had no objection to the amendments , and they were accordingly agreed to . The remaining clauses were then agreed to . On the question mat the bill be reported , Mr Roebuck , said that he objected to tb > > principle of this biU altogether . His objection was this , that tbe house In passing this bill were travelling out of the real
province of legislation into the province of simple moral , ity , and that tbey were attempting by legislative inter , fereace to bring abont that which no mere , law could ever effect . He objected also to tbe details of the bill as well as to the principle . It was proposed to punish the offence in question by imprisonment , " with or without hard labour , in the common gaol or house of correction for any term not exceeding two years . " Now , this was almost the largest extent of imprisonment applied to any crime whatever . He considered also that under this bill any man could be made the victim of tbe vilest con . spiracy .
Mr Stooseb , said , that the objection which had been taken to the measure , namely , that it proposed to effect an object which should be left to the influence * of morality , applied to every penal statute for the suppression of crime . He would not enter into details , but if It were fitting to do so , thb house would be appalled by the extent to which this crime was carried by agents all over the country ; and the victims were chiefly the children of cottagers and artisans . MrC . Bibb . ei . et was of opinion that the bill would only increase tha evil which it was intended to remedy . He expressed his regret that the discussion which took place onthe subject when the measure was last before the bouse had not been reported , and concluded by moving as an amendment , that tbe report should berecsived that day six months .
Sir J . Faxikgtoh complimented the gentlemen through whose instrumentality an account of what passed in tbat house was usually conveyed to tbe public upon tbe discretion they had shown in refraining from entering at any length into this subject when it was last under the consideration of the house , ( general approbation , ) and he hoped they would pursue a similar course on the present occasion . After some further conversation , Sir < J . Gail said , he admitted there was some fores in the observations of tbe honourable member for Bath , but he thought it would be unfair to the hon . member for Birmingham wholly to abandon the measure . The course he should suggest was , tbat the chairman should report the bill , and between the present time and the consideration of the report the hon . member for Birmingham should , with the legal members of the committee , re-consider tbe clause , and either omit tbe second part of it altogether , or otherwise obviate the objections to it
Mr T . Dohcohbe said tbat the second section ofthe first clause had been suggested by him in the select commtttee to whom the bill had been referred , because he thought that the rich , who created the temptation to the crime of seduction and prostitution , should be equally punished with the poor panderers to them . If the committee should reject that provision , he hoped the house would reject tbe bill altogether . • The Chaixkan then put the question that the bill with amendments be reported to tbe bouse . Mr C . Bebkelkt moved as an amendment that the chairman do now leave the chair , as he could not in form move that the bill be reported that day six months . The committee divided , —
For the amendment 2 G Against it . 81 Majority against it —55 Poos Retrovir , Act Ahemdheht Bin . — Mr 6 . EaNKIs moved the second reading of tbe Poor Removal Act Amendment Bill . Sir J . S . Pakihgtok opposed the bill . It would in fact repeal tbe settlement act of last session , which would be to commit a great outrage on the poor , and to rob them of one of the most valuable boons tbat had ever been conferred upon them . Admitting that the act had
produced hardship in some particular cases , be contended that those cases were attributable to the harshness and cruelty of guardians whehad sought thereby to drive away paupers from their parishes . The real motive of this bill was not the benefit of the poor , but the relief of the rate-payers , who complained of the additional burden which had been thrown on them by tbe Settlement Act . The proper remedy was not to Repeal that Act , but to make a farther alteration in the law of settlement . He would move tbat this bill be read a second time tbat day six months .
Sir G . Obet said the bill would have his decided opposition ; for it repealed the very substance of the Settlement Act—the principle embodied in the first clause —whereby a certain term of residence was held to prevent removals . This principle had been affirmed to preventtbe evils arising from tbe sudden removals of large masses of labourers on their being thrown out of employment . Though this principle might have operated hardly on some rate-payers , tbe balance of advantage had been decidedly in favour of the poor . Sir George admitted that inconveniences bad arisen out ofthe Act of last session , and that it would be necessary within a short period to consider fully the law of settlement and removal ; but he objected to immediate and temporary legislation , such as this bill proposed . MrR . Palmer , the Marquis of Granby , Mr Spooner , Mr Y . Sminh , Mr Rice , and Mr P . Miles , addressed the house in support of the Bill ; Sir J . Graham aud Mr C . Buller in opposition to it .
Sir J . Gbabah said he bad distinctly stated when he brought forward the bill of last year , that be did not propose it as a compensation to the landed interest in consideration of tbe Repeal of tbe Corn Laws , which had been alleged iu tbe conrse of the debate . The bill last year did not propound a new principle with reference to industrial residence for five years giving a right to relief , for it had been introduced in a former bill on the law of settlement . Ho dissentfd from the Statement th & t the measure 6 f last year was favourable to the rich and not to the poor , and he opposed the bill now before the house because although tbe old measure might involve one rate-payer in partial injury , its repeal would be an universal wreng to the great body
of the poor ; to the class of paupers who never applied for relief for fear of being removed—a most extensive class too—and the industrious Irish who had laboured in the manufacturing districts of this country for five years , aad who were removed the moment they applied for assistance . To these classes of paupers the bill of last session was a great boon . It would give relief to hundreds who had contributed by their industry to the wealth of England , but who were removed the moment they sought for parochial aid . ( Hear , hear . ) He confidently expected that on the opening of a new parliament the government would be prepared with a measure on the law of removal and settlement . HrG . Baskes replied , and the house
divided—For the second reading of the bill ... 102 Against it 105 Majority against the bill ... 3 The announcement of this " measuring cast" majority in favour of the government was received with loud cheers and laughter . The house adjourned at six o ' clock . THURSDAY , Jcne 24 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Marquis of Lamsdowhe stated , in answer te Lord Brougham , that it was not intended to detain the Count das Antas , and other prisoners ef war now confined at Lisbon until the complete pacification of Portugal . The Cemetery Clauses Bill was read a third time and passed . And the house adjourned . -
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —On Sir G . Grey , moving the third reading of the Poor Laws Administration Bill , Mr Wakley . moved , as an amendment , tbat the bill be read a third time that day three months . Tho amendment was ultimately rejected by a majority of 105 to 35 , and the bill was read a third time . Mr Spoonee moved additional clauses prohibiting tbe commissioners from issuing any rules or orders against granting ent-door relief to the able-bodied poor , when a second division took place , the clauses being negatived by a majority of 72 , the numbers being 109 to 37 .
Mr Boethwick then proposed the following clause : — "That when any two persons , being husband and wife , both of whom shall be above the age of sixty years , shall be received into any workhouse , in pursuance ofthe provisions of the said recited act or of this act , or of any rule , order , or regulation , of tbe commissioneu appointed by authority of this act , such two persons shall not be compelled to lire separate and apart from each other in such workhouse . " To this an amendment was moved bj Lord J . Russell , with the view of giving a discretionary power to the guardians . Upon this the heuse divided , when . there appeared for the amendment of Lord J . Russell , 55 ; against it , 70 ; majority , 15 . The clause was then agreed to . Other suggested amendments were rejected , and tbe bill was read a third time and passed . Thehouse then adjourned . { Trout our Third Edition of last w « fc . ) FRIDAYJoke 18 .

The debate on the Health ef Towns Bill then proceeded , Colonel Slbthorp moving tbat it be read a second time that ; day six months . The ipeeobiY were not lengthy , but the speakers numerous , the mass of objectors retting their opposition on the ground of the exclusion of the metropolis from its operation , Mr Horsman and Mr Roebuck fiercely attacking the government for delay , and limiting the operation of tbe measure . At length tbe bouse divided , when tbe question ef going into committee was catried . by a majority of 141 , the'numbers being 191 to 50 .

Birmingham.—The Members Meeting At The S...
Birmingham . —The members meeting at the Ship Inn having heard the letter read from the Star of June 19 th , signed "J . Mason , " wherein he complains of us condemning a portion of his remarks , copied from the Tory paper , we were perfectly satisfied that thereport in question , though hot verbatim , conveyed a correct interpretation of his remarks . Of course he cannot deny any part of that report , for , if it had been wrong , it would have been his duty to have pointed out the misrepresentation ; but he complains that the whole of his disgraceful speech upon that occasion was not sent to the Star . Why , surely the brief report published was quite sufficient to satisfy any reasonable mind that Mr J . Mason had forfeited all claims to the confidence ofthe
workingclasses . We should have sent a verbatim report , but we could not obtain one , or it would have placed Mr Mason in a worse position than what he now occupies . Signed on behalf of the members meeting at the Ship , J . Newhouse , Secretary . Bristol . —At a meetingof the Chartists of Bristol , on Monday evening last , Mr Cains proposedj and Mr Clifton seconded , the following resolution if—- That this meeting is of opinion that the ; ' conduct of the Mayor of Derby in preventing the non-electors holding up their hands , and in demanding of Mr M'Grath tbe fees before he would allow them to ' go to the poll , was upjust , unconstitutional , and tyrannical ; and we recommend the Inhabitants of Perby to brinj : the subject before the House of Commons .
Bolton . —Our Temperance Hall was filled with a crowded audience oh Saturday evening last . Mr Richardson , solicitor , having been called to the chair , Ernest Jones addressed them on their duty at the coming election . He delivered in the course of his speech a powerful exhortation in favour ot the Temperance Movement , and reminded the men of Bolton that , out of their comparatively small constituency , they had about 350 electors who were publicans and beershop-keepers ; and proved their worthiness of superior privileges , by living on the demoralisation of their fellow townsmen . The speaker was greeted throughout his address with the greatest enthusiasm , and votes of thanks having been carried , amid great cheering , to that gentleman , and to their excellent and respected chairman , the . meeting separated in the greatest order , and hi ghly gratified with the evening's proceedings .
Dokcaster . —The branch has opened a subscription for the Electioneering Fund , and appointed Mr John Walker secretary , and Mr John Bradley treasurer . At tho weekly meeting on Sunday night last , 5 s . lOd . was subscribed by the members towards the general election fund . We intend to keep the subscription open for the next six weeks . The following resolution was passed unanimously : " That , in the opinion of this branch , it would be better to form a general fund than particular funds , outof which the expenses of the forthcoming elections , in bringing forward Chartist candidates , shall be defrayed .
Hull The Chartists and Land members have combined to render all possible assistance towards returning Chartist candidates at the next General Election . It was resolved that Two Pounds , be sent to the Central Election Committee .

A tsix o'clock the same evening the Hall was crammed with 2 , 000 people , hundreds being unable to elFect an entrance , when , Mr Grocott having been called to the chair , MrW . P . Roberts , who was received with loud acclamations , addressed the meeting in a truly eloquent speech , and propounded very effective plans for enabling many of the disfranchised poor in Manchester to obtain the vote . His address was received with that hearty , applause which its own intrinsic merit and the great desert of the speaker , could not fail to elicit . Mr Ernest Jones followed on , tho promising aspect of Chartism , and the means of
obtaining it , and concluded a lengthy and effective address , simidst continued cheering and waving of hate . , v ' National Registration and Central Election Committee . —At a meeting of this body , held at the Assembly Rooms , 83 , Dean-street , Soho , on Tuesday evening , June 22 ad , Mr John Simpson in the chair , Mr .

start .

The British Corn Trade. The Weather Has ...
THE BRITISH CORN TRADE . The weather has been decidedly broken throughout the past week , and though the rain which has fallen has done no further positive mischief than damaging a portion of thehayinearly districts , where cutting was commenced the first week in June , still ithiis causcdsome uneasiness . Up to the present time the reports from the agricultural districts continue to speak well ofthe grain crops , but the complaints respecting tho re-appearance of the potato disease have lately increased . The very important fall which took place on Monday week in the price of wheat , had a depressing effect On all the leading provincial markets . A large fleet of vessels grain laden , have this week arrived off the coast , the greater part at Cork and Falmouth for orders ; this arrival is principally from the Mediterranean , and has been long expected . By far the greater number of the ships appear to be laden with Indian corn , and that article has consequently fallen materially in value , not only in London and Liverpool , but likewise iu Ireland—Jfarjb-lane
Express . , '• The Season and the Cbops , —Since our last we have had great quantities of vain , and the temperature has been lower than it usually is at this stason . Still the crops continue to look very well . The wheat crop has now had quite as much moisture as it requires , ' or us will do it any good ; but we do not believe that it lias su § . tained the least injury front tho rain . The spring corn of all kinds continues to improve , and never looked better than at present . Should the weather be favourable in July it will give a most abundant crop . Hay making has been begun in this neighbourhood , but is not yet general . The crops are fair , but not large . —Liverpool Times , Tuesday . Wc have had fine growing weather in South Lancashire since our last , without any further fall oi ' rain . The crops of all kinds continue to improve . — Lieerpool Times , Thursday .
CORN , & c . Mauk Lane , Monday , . June 21 . —Fresh up to-day the receipts of wheat of home produce were but moderate , and the show of samples was by no means extensive . Several unfavourable accounts respecting the potato crop having come to hand this morning front various parts of the country , and the weather during the last week having been showery , the factors and holders , in the early part ot tho day , wcro very firm in their demands , and in some instances they succeeded in obtaining 2 s to Ss more money for selected parcels dl' both red and white . But as the day progressed , tho trade became very inactive , and the fine parcels which changed' hands after twelve o ' clock , were at an improvement of no more than is per qr ., while several hundred quarters found buyers at prices about equal to those paid on this day se ' imiglit , in order to effect a clearance . This falling off in tho inquiry , anddepression'in value from the opening of the market , must be attributed to the large inportations of foreign wheat and flour .
We had an extensive quantity of foreign wheat on offer , certainly over 30 , 000 qrs . A few parcels of very inferior Dnntzic changed hands at an improvement of from Is to 2 s per qv ., but the advance was b y no means general andwc quote prices , taking the trade as a whole , the same as on Monday last . Notwi thstanding the show of barlcv was small , the trade with that article was in a verv depressed , state , at barely , but at nothing quotable be neath last week ' currencies . With malt we were seantilv supplied , nevertheless tho trade was in a sluggish state at m I" ?' " ' , There wcro very few oats on offer yet the demand tor that article was heavy at barely last week s figures . In beans and peas , the supplies of which were small next to nothing . was doing at previous quotaturns . Indian corn was firm , and higher rates were demanded
by the holders without being obtained . Flour both sack and barrelled , moved off slowly at lato figures ' qn ?

' Compared with those ou Monday last the arrivals of beasts fresh up to-day were somewhat on the increase and of excellent quality , especially Z Scots , horpebreds , and shorthorns from Norfolk . Althoush the attendance of buyers was numerous , the beef trade was in a sluggish state , and . in some instances , the quotations had a downward tendency . The highestfieure for the best Scots was 5 s 2 d per 81 b . at which a clearance was effected . From Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and CanibS shire , we received about 1 , 200 Scots , homebreds , and shorthorns ; from the western and midland counties ' , 300 Herefords , runts , Devons , & c . ; from other parts of

London , June 21 . —The imports of wool into London since Monday last have amounted to nearly 4 , 000 pack , ages , mostly from our colonies . The public sales in progress in the course of the week have gone off heavily , and prices have ruled a shade easier . About 22 , 000 bales have been brought forward . A full average quantity of wool is on offer in the private contract market , but owing to the heaviness in the trade in the manufacturing districts the business passing is trifling . COTTON .
Liverpool , Monday , June 21 . —The business is large to-day , from 10 , 000 to 1 ? , « 00 bales having been sold , of whieh the trade have taken fully 8 , 000 bales , the remain . der being to speculators and exporters . 3000 Surats are included in the business , at prices from id to 5 d . Surat and the middling and low qualities of American are Jd higher . The other sorts are quite firm , but without any change . Liverpool , Wednesday , June 23 . —The business to-day was large , not less than 10 , 000 bales have been sold , ineluding 3 , 500 Surats , nearly all to the trade . The slight advance noticed on Monday was very firmly maintained .
State Op Frade. Leeds.—The Business Tran...
STATE OP fRADE . Leeds . —The business transacted this week , in the warehouses as well as in the public markets , has been about an average amount . If anything , the woollen trade wears an improved aspect , the price of corn being on the decline , and the harvest prospects favourable . We eannotfind any alteration in prices , and stocks are not large for the season . Bradford . —Wool . — Thcreis no improvement in the demand for any kind of coming wool , and new clips have as yet come sparingly into market , owing to the continued high prices sought by the growers and dealers . Short wools and noils are equally dull , and rather lower prices submitted to . Yarns —The business doing is not iniproved , the de Laine makers are rather flat , it being be . tweenthe seasons for their goods ; the shippers are not doing much .
Uochdale . —We have had another very dull market ; the demand for til sorts of flannel was limited ; prices generally were the same as last week . The wool market was also dull ; brokes and skins were scarce , and foreign wool was not much inquired after ; prices of the latter have a downward tendency . The handlooni flannel weavers have not at prcsrnt more than half employment . Halifax . —The piece-market still continues in the same dull state , and very little business doing . For yarns and wool there is but a limited demand , and no alteration in prices to notice . Hosiery and Lace Trades . —There is scarcely any change for the better in any ofthe branches of the cotton hose trade , and there has not been within the memory of man so extensive and suclt a long dearth of demand and employment , as the present stoppagehas now lasted more than two months , and that in the months of April , May , and June , usually the busiest times of the year . Nothing
c n exceed the patience and resignation of the great mass of the working . populution , which ought to excite pity and commiseration amongst the governing and thinking classes , and cause them to inquire whether we are not upon a wrong course in following the longtried now evei ' -failiiu f maxim of letting every tiling find its own level . The relative state of the two great branches ofcut-ups and wrought hose are in much the same state as they were last week ; if anything , the former is further declining . Although the drawer branch is in a most deplorable state , yet there are shops which , in the midst oi the panic , have been kept constantly going , hi the villages the truck system continues , and is likely to extend , though several convictions have taken place , as some ofthe principal hosiers evidently encourage the practice , as it causes the wages to become lower , and ic quires less capital . It is considered there is a change for tho better in tne silk glove trade , nnd exeat hones are
entertained lit Some quarters of a further amendment . Tlit laticy lace trade is even worse , and a sort of general holiday prevails at Jinry Gate , the principal seat of the lace warehouses . Even the German houses have discharged their workpeople in considerable numbers . The silk bobbin net trade has a little more activity , and seems likely to increase . The muslin laces , upon the thicE thread principal of ornamenting , has met with a check , but the new embossed muslins have been well received .
