CORONER'S INQUESTS.

On Saturday an inquest was held at the D'Oley Arms.
Blackland's-lane, Chelsea, on the body of Mrs. Eliza_
beth, a widow lady, aged 63, who was found dead in he r
bedroom in her lodgings in Blackland's Grove, by her ser
vast. She was supposed to have died while going into her
bed. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God."
SUICIDE OF A PRISONER.—On Saturday an inquest was
held at the New Prison, Clerkenwell, on the body of Mr.
J. Kemmett, aged 2.5. The deceased was a fine young
man, of most respectable connections, and was clerk to a
grocer in Oxford-street, but having uttered a forged order
for 19.5/., with intent to defraud the firm of Sir S. Scott,
Bart. and Co., bankers, he was remanded to the above prison
from Marylebone Office. •
John Gray, a prisoner, deposed that five minutes before
the deceased was found hanging he had a conversation with
him, when the deceased spoke of the disgrace that would
come on his friends, and remarked that he knew he should
suffer transportation, but that such punishment would make
a man of him. Deceased also observed that he was glad
he had not obtained the money, and that he felt more for
his friends than for himself. The deceased had hung him-
self by joining two handkerchiefs together, and, in opinion
of witness, he threw himself over the bannister.

Other witnesses deposed to the deceased being cut down,
and every endeavour made to restore animation.
Verdict—" Temporary Insanity."

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—We have little change to notice in the woollen
trade of this district. The last two market days have been
very dull, but the market of Tuesday was an improvement
on the preceding. A general slackness prevails in the ma-
nufactories, and as the workmen are far from fully employed,
the stocks on hand do not accumulate so rapidly as might
have been expected from the recent limited demand.
BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for worsted goods
has undergone very little change during the last fortnight.
At the market on Thursday there was an average atten-
dance of buyers, but no particular animation was observable.
The most remarkable feature is the steadiness with which
wool keeps up its price. It cannot be said that the prices
which were current three or four months ago could now be
obtained, but the reduction has been so gradual as to be
imperceptible.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 23.—We have
no variation worth notice to make from our last week's re-
port in long wool. The feverish state of the money market
is operating a little upon the trade of this district, but so
far very slightly, in comparison with what it has done on
the trade of Lancashire.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MARCH 20.—There has
been been but a dull market to-day, fewer flannels have
been sold, and those at reduced prices. The demand has
chiefly been for those of the middling quality. In the wool
market, little business has been done ; the manufacturers
are expecting a reduction in price, and are consequently
unwilling to buy, except for immediate use.
