coTrox COOINL—ILuic Fen. 14.—A quieter
'market for cotton at Liverpool yesterday and to.day, with
a slight decline in prices, her led to an easier feeling here
without any nominal change in quotations. Buyers how.
ever, feel preatically that the market is in their favour.
sad they are not inclined to repeat their recent higheek
offers. For shipping yarns, in eoosegaence of the heavy
engagements of spinners to order, sellers are mostly veer
firm in adhering to their quotations ; some "'Miners even
ask rather higher rates than on Tuesday. There has not
been much business offering, and sellers report a rather
' quiet market. For home trade yarns the demand ha" also
been checked to-day by the disposition manifested among
spinners to abide by the enhanced rates which up to Tue.
day they were enabled to commend u the result of the
cotton speculations. While the slight reaction which hie
taken place in the raw material induces caution end • die.
position to inactivity among buyers, spinners feel that with
the contracts on band they cannot afford to stand aloof
for a time, and consequently there has been • very
limited business. In cloth, although manufacturers are
compelled to pay full prices for yarn, there has been a
more decided pause in business to-day than even in yarns,
The demand for the present baa met with a decided check,
and sellers have found that the higher rates of Tuesday
and of last week cannot be obtained. Bat manufseturers,
like spinners, make no change in their quotations, al.
though they are unable to get business at them. The con.
sequence is a very restricted business in all descriptions
of fabrics suited to the Esatern market', to which our
foregoing remarks chiefly apply. In heavy goods, and
fabrics made from coarser cotton, which have never ad.
vaned in the same proportion as India and China goods,
there has been s moderate business, but still there is a
sympathy in these branches with the more depressed, and
buyers have been offering easier terms. Printing cloths of
the better quality maintain their value, all the large canoe
printers being well engaged on spring tow.* and conga
quently more or less in the market.

POISONED BY AN OVERDOSE OF MEDICINL.—Atan
Inquest held on Thursday, before Mr. Mefferd, city coroner,
Manchester, on the body of an old man, named L.,wrence
O'Brien, it appeared that the deceased, Laving obtained
a dispensary order for a mixture suitable for a brunchitio
affection, found the medicine so agreeable in its effects
—it was a nareotio—that during the night he swallowed
the whole contents of the phial, the consequence being
that he was found next morning dead in Led, with the
empty bottle by his side under the bedclothes. It further
appeared that the phial when bonded to Lim at the dis-
pensary bad no label on it, and that the instructions as to
how he was to take the medicine were given to him onlz
by word of mouth. Mr. Charles Ogden, surgeon, proved
the cause of death to be bronchitis, but that death was ac.
celerated by an overdose of laudanum and ipecacuanba.
The jury accompanied their verdict with an opiniou that
to serve out unlabelled phialsiefi medicine win a highly
censurable practice ; and the coroner added that he would
see that a copy of the verdict wasforwarded to the com-
' mittee of the dispensary. The deceased was a weaver, but
had been for some time in reduced eircumstancsn, and up
to his death was in receipt of parish relief.
