STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.--In the course of the fore-
noon we had a telegraphic announcement that the Ame-
rican steamer was Of Holyhead; but, receiving no fur-
ther intelligence until atter one o'clock, there appeared
amongst buyers so much of a disposition to await its ar-
rival before entering into engagements, as evidently pro-
duced a quiet and uncertain state of business. Thus, the
best part of the day seemed to be iejuriously affected by
this little delay in the receipt of only three or four days'
later information respecting the raw materiel; and, when
i. arrived, there was found to be no change on the other
side, no ciicurnstance to affect, our market one way or
other. The transactions of the day, in yarns, have been
of moderate extent. The buyers have shown a dispo-
eition to operate, but at something under the prices re-
quired by sellers. The latter, however, are in general
so free from stocks, and, in many articles, so well sup-
plied with orders, as to feel comparatively indifferent
about selling; and a prevailing steadiness at the quota-
tions of last week, has consequently marked both mule
and water twist, whether warps, cops, or bundles. The
tone of the cloth market is less favourable than that of
yarns. Domestics continue dull, and the prices offered
are generally rather lower. The same statement applies
to 3S-inch cloths also. The IJsver qualities of T's i
printers and jaconets continue, however, in fair request
at last week's prices; and the improved demands for 40-
inch shirtiegs on Eastern account is continued.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Business in the Cloth-

for the completion of orders having changed hands.
Goods in demand are of light make and pattern for the
home spring and summer trade. Shippers and mer-
chants complain much of the slackness of trade, there
having been only one London buyer in the town to-day.

CIVIL CONTINGENCIES.—On Monday an official do-
cument
was issued by order of the House of Commons,
showing that the sum required to be -voted for civil con-
tingencies for the current year is 100,0001. In 1849 the
expenditure defrayed from the grant for civil contingencies
was 51,6531. ; in 150, 65,3711. ; and in 1851, 89,C75/.
SUDDEN DEATH AT A RAILWAY STATlON.—Yes-
terday information was received at the various police sta-
tions in the metropolis of the sudden death of a gentleman
at the Railway Station, Richmond, Surrey. He is described
as 55 years of age, lighc, brown hair mixed with gray,

FATAL ACCSDENTS ON THE LANCASHIRE AND
YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.—On. Saturday evening a working
man was killed at the Middleton station on this line. He
had booked for Oldham, but ran, amongst a crowd of pas•
sengers, to the door of a carriage, before the train had
stopped. The result was that he was pushed down between
the footboards of the train and the landing stage and
crushed to death. A servant of the company, named Richard
WrOk.r, was ako killed uitclu'"' '
