SWEDEN.

Some reVrerr serious disturbances occurred recently
in S!ocki-Vni, in consequence of a Jewis'a tradesman
named Jacc;l son having chastised a M. Strcem,
editor of a newspaper called the Folkets Roels
Ow Voice of the People), for having published
an article gi!ossly insulting Nita personally, and all
professors o f the Jewish faith; Stroem haying had
the art to '3 :cite the populace by representing him•
selt' as a vie rtim of the enmity of the Jews to foe
cm.iiliaos. •It Jacobsson commenced a prosecution
againbt Strc 'ens for the libel, and the trial of the ca 7e
took place tkn days ego before the Royal Court of
Stockholm. As the Swedish law requires the jury,
which consbts- of nine persons, to be chosen, three
by tile coot x, '.,reo by the ple;intiff, and three by
the defend tnt, and as it. gives to all three the
power of ()hjccting almost indefinitely to any of
the juryme,v, selected, it took a long time to form
a jury. The article complained of was read. It was
full of insutzs on JaeobKon ; charged him, amongst
other things, with selling, in his trade of perfumer,
articles did) 6erous to the public health, and held him
up to ccmte olpt on acceunt of hi. 3 religion. The jury
ft, once bro tight. in a verdict of guilty, and the Court
condemned Stroem to the loss of honour, to make
pilalic!y an .ronessde honorable to M. Jacobson, to he
imprisoned 80 diva on bread and water, and to pay
5,000 rix 41s. -(12,500f) es damages. It also ordered
him to pgy the cost.q. The imprisonment, though
nominally eiqbty days, will be ninety-six in reality;
as, by the Swedish every fifth day the accused
will be permitted to have the ordinary prison allow-
ance of fOcd, instead of bread and water ; and such
day will not be counted as part of the ptraishment.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Frees the ?Manchester Guardian of this day.)
The An, erLen cotcon merketa were reported dull, with
a decline iA a prices, sly Vic. at New York. and e. at New
Oaeane. ape total receipts are 85,220 bales against
75,154 last year, and the exports to Great Britain
21,945 aga Ines 21,321. The crop is still variously spoken
of; but the general view, according to the circulars, ap-
pears to be, that, with propitious weather for picking, a
very large or will be bemired. Some of the private letters
give a less fewourable account of the prospects of supply;
and these twee° far influenced the Liverpool market as to
sustain prizes at Saturday's range, although the former
have renditred business tamer than before. Yesterday's
sales were 10,000 bales ; those of to-day are 8,000. The
extensive operations that have latterly taken place in
yarns and goods have led to a ger oral requirement
of higher prices to day. This is th a case in a greater
degree in 40's and 50's mule twii:3, and in 40-inch
shirtings adapted to the eastern warkets, than in cny
other artioiei ; indeed, in this department of the
market, we have a good deal of life and buoyancy.
For Chins, some purchase of water twist have been
made ; and these, with what other buyers have taken,
render water twist dearer by id per lb., although the
Germans *ill hang back very much. The quotations
for warps, cop-twist, and pin-cops, arc also raised. The
makers cet7 printieg-cloths, illadaporams, and 36-inch
ahirtings have rai,,e-d their prices ; and the improving
tendency in domeAica and T clothe is mere marked than
at the latter end of Ntit wnsk. Business is naturally
checked by the adv-zeee. At last week's rates, however,
sellers conid- enter hate large contmcts; and, av it is, the
