MARKETS.

II R DWA BIRXIN011•11, MAT II - Tice trade of this
town IN rather better : the orders im account of the home trade
have rather blew:lied, and the reports received through the
factori travellers .e more favourable. In the foreign depart-
ment, the aluggiali actb•n which has so long prevailed still
continues. The advice. from the East Indica are moat encou-
raging, but rei regard. Australia and the Cape business is in a
very bad state In every way. With respect tothe AMOTICAU
trade there I+ no improvement whatever, and the accounts re-
ceived from that quarter induce the Inference that none la likely
to take Maim nt grunt. On account of Mexico very little Is
being done, and the continental trade generally Is slack, in no
Instance Is it np to the average, and as to the restoration of
foretell credit is Mill far from complete, • continuation of the
existing langotir for some time longer is moat probable. The
iron trade id this diatrict is more active, but prices have not yet
Improrsd. •

Carl'ON (7flODf4.—Nlaffestßern, MAT 11.—Witb 813,000
bales of cotton in stock, nto,ooll bales on the way to this country,
and large shipments still in prospect both from America and
India, the market is still subject to sudden and unexpected
thictddions. During the whole week up to yesterday prices
went steadily down. in Wednesday cotton declined id. per
lb.. and the tone of Thunders market was our showing weak-
nen. I spier these eircurnstaness a sudden reaction to the ex.
tent of Id*
re erilay entirely took the Manchester market by
surprise. re we no mills thin had been stopped or that
were wor short time. so that the consumption had fallen off
to 15.000 b des per week resuming opyrations. There was nothing
in the commercial news to materiallY brighten prospects, and
the only &learnable causes of the reaction were the settlement
of the Lusenitsinquestion and the prospect of the Reform
Bill, after cettlug clear of so many rocks and shoals, being pro-
bably safely past Its greatest perils. The first effect here
was to induce manufacturers to put up their quotations •
little, but the advance was steadily checked by buyers,
who refrained from operating, and towards the close of the day
the market was decidedly weaker. In this state we find the
cloth market to-day. Prices have not wholly Inst the advance,
but there is exceedingly little business possible. l'p to yesterday
there bud been some business le shirting:li for India, and China
shirtings were in inquiry, with offers at I.L decline per piece.
Jai:courts, malls, long cloths, and T cloths are, and have been all
the week meeting with only a limited demand, and are difficult
of sale ; !but a moderate hardness is reported in printing cloths.
Sellers of yarns yesterday got on better at the Id. per lb.
advance imposed by the rise in cotton, and for export • good
deal of business was done, though some of the transactions are
I believed to have been speculative. Home trade yarns were fd.
to id. dearer, with some fair sales, the manufacturers under
contract being obliged to buy in order to keep their mills
going and complete centracits. In most eases, however, they
buy sparingly. and many manufacturers and spinners are so
strongly impressed with the policy of the hand to mouth supply
of cotton that they purpose going to Liverpool twice a week to
make parchases instead of buying, as of late, • week's to •
month • consumption at once.

WOOLLEN —Lttbs. 31" e 11.—There has only bees asmail
attendance of buyers at the cloth halls this morning . few repro-
sentailves of out-town houses have been present. slid owing to
the dulness of trade along with unfavourable state of the
weather during market hours, the amount of business transacted
has been very restricted. The parcels which have changed
hand" have. is most asses, been for actual requirements, and as
It is now betwixt the seasons these wants have not been nume-
rous. consequently. the parcels which have left the cloth A .lls
have not been huge either In number or value. In the coloured
hall the demand Isms been chiefly for plain cloths, along with a
few pieces of dark coatings, which have evidently been trans-
ferred only as SW** for the autumn trade. The inquiries fur
spring goods now are mostly nominal, a pew Isolated pieces of
tweeds changing howls as necessity requires. hlalrJdsts continue
without much Improvement in the white market, and purchases
have again been made with the greatest caution . and the transfer
of heav) q,.sd Is as yet only small. Prices remain without any
noticeable alteration.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, MAT 11.—The Im-
proved feeling appsrent on Thursday has continued to the else
of the week. There has heen a fair inquiry for most assays of
wool to supply the necessities of spinners, with a marked im-
provement in business. Staplers are obliged, however, to yield
to last week's rates if they desire t • effect sales. Any effort to
realise higher rates tends to cheek operations. Though little
word's bought in the country, prices are more firm there thou
here. There has been a slight improvement in worsted yarns.
&sport merchants have shioim a iiMpositiou to 410 business both
for the German and Russian markets. The chief business dime
Is in single and twofold Ws. There has been no Improvement
on recent rates. In pieces, the hotne merchants have pllia*d
some orders long withheld in heavy fancy goods for autumn.
but these operations are made very cautiously on account of
the advance of the season. There Is little doing for the ON,
Client, and still less for America. The lousiness done in plain
goods has berU chiefly from stocks. Prime continue very low.

MURDER OF A CHI,LD BY 17• 310THEIL—Ile
Saturday ravaging considerable excitement was occasicaed
at Deptford, in consequence of a rumour that a child haul
been murdered by its mother, and which, unfortunately,
turned out to be too true. hesiding at adfl, New Cross
road, was a family in well-to-do circumstances, caulking
of Mr. and Mrs. Bell, a daughter, about twenty yeas of
age, and a eon, aged nine and a-half years. There hoot bee
other children of the family, who have died off, and their
deaths appear to have had a great effect on the mind of
the mother, who has for some time past been observe, to
be in a desponding state. Ot, Saturday she was noticed
looking about the house, and was heard to say, " I moan
find a knife sharp enough," but unfortunately no notice vu
taken of this observation. Later in the day she went into
the kitchen, where the little boy was alone, and tax*
bold of him she cut his throat in a frightful manner, the
head being nearly severed. In the house was found 3
common table inufe, with which the deed woo committed.
Dr. Downing, the police divisional surgeon, and other
medical (gentlemen, were quickly on the spot, but their
aid was of noavail. The wretched murderess was at occe
taken into custody, and will undergo an examination haws
the magistrate this day.
FRHIHTFU.L EXPLOSION OF A Isomuirrive.—On
Saturday an inquest was held at Shildon, near Darlingtm,
on view of the body of Thomas Parker, an engine driver.
who was killed by an explosion of a locomotive near that
place on the previous day. The accident occurring on So
Darlington section of the North Eastern Railway, where
the engine drivers are on strike, awl from the fact of
both the driver and fireman being new hands, more this
ordinary interest attached to the proceediag%
it being qbertionable whether the incompetesty
of the men may have had anything to do
with the accident. Nothing, however, was proved
' tending to encourage such a supposition, and it was jewel
that an old fireman was on the engine at the tune acting
as instructor to the new bends. A similar accident .In
occurred in the Fame neighbourhood two yeare ago and:,.
the management of the old hands. Mr. Chieholm,
salting engineer, who bad examined the fragments, gm
it as his opinion that the rivets and not the plates ginni
way was the cause of the accident. The jury returned
verdict of " Accidental death," and notwithstanding that,
as stated above, there appeared to be no evidence to
justify a supposition of incompetency on the part of the
engine-driver, who had been a fitter of engines for many
years, appended the following :—" We beg to state W th-
railway company that we think the deceased was iaex
perienced in the use of a locomotive engine, and we nom
mend both for the safety of the persona employed on the
line and the public in general that more experienced 'e-
vents should be en ed. '
' SHIPWRECK AND LOMA OF EIGHTEEN LivEq. —The
following is en extract from a letter received by Messrs. W.
Rowe and Co., of Liverpool, from Mews. Cage. Rowe,
and Co. dated Cape Hayti, April 19:—" Captain Neilson,
of the Marie from Grimsby, 32 days' peonage, reports
having picked up in the Channel a man floating on a pm
'f wreck. He was the only survivor of the crew of the
Norwegian barque, Carl Johann, bound from Liverpool
for Bergen, with a cargo of salt. The Carl Johann, after
having landed a Liverpool pilot at some port in the Chu.
nel, sprang a leak, and foundered with all hands on hoard,
with the exception of the man named."
THE SNIDER RIFLE AT GIERALTAR.—The sale-
riority as a weapon of destruction of the new breech-load-
ing rifle, which our army is for the future to carry, mo
clearly shown yesterday at the inspection of the gird
Regiment on the North Front. This regiment, which
armed throughout with the Snider rifle, fired off lifters
round, of blank ammunition durmg the peraile, U1%1,1111,
file firing, and skirmishing. The independent firing is so
rapid and well sustained that the sound is like one lag
continuous volley, and must he most murderous is ito
effect. The volley firing was naturally not so quick .1
the independent firing, but an average of five round' per
minute was obtained. Several thousand stand of doe
new arms have arrived here, and the whole of the troop,
in garrison will be supplied with them before the end of
the week. The new system of drill is much simpler this
that of the old muzzle-loaders and competent instructors
have for some time past been in process of tudnine
throughout the different regiments. It is pretuble.
therefore, that by the Queen's birthday every ithinte
soldier in Gibraltar will be able to handle the new !We
with ease and precision.-00raltar Chrowide, Mayo.
