STATE OP TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, MARCH 21.—The caution with which
buyers act, whether for shipment or home consumption,
continues to increase, as might indeed be expected under
existing circumstances. The transactions of the day
have, therefore, been altogether inconsiderable, both in
yarns and goods. The India and China accounts, which
are not favourable, have led to no business. As to prices,
they are not tested by offers of sufficient amount to induce
any material giving way, even if producers were disposed
so to yield. Those spinners and manufacturers who want
orders, see that it would be of no use to press their pro-
ducts upon buyers, and they abstain from doing so. But,
as orders are running out and stocks increasing in some
kinds of warps, cops, and bundles, and in most goods
except such as are particularly adapted for the India
market, there is an increasing desire to sell those arti-
cles; and, while the general tendency of value is to de-
cline, it is more so in them than in the rest. But, after
all, each step in our downward course has been and still
is extremely small, hardly perceptible in any one week.
It is evident, however, that accumulations of stock must
now go on. increasing ; and this will gradually press down
prices. Convinced of this, and finding already a large
part of the trade unprofitable, and not a little of it at-
tended with loss, spinners and manufacturers are begin-
ning to entertain the purpose of resorting to short-time.
ROCHDALE, March 20. We have not had so dull a
market this year as to-day. There is little inquiry for
goods, and but few pieces have been sold. The wool
market is at a stand almost ; prices are lower, except in
very low priced English wools, which continue extremely
scarce.

HALIFAX, March 18.—We have seldom had a duller
market day in our piece hall. An almost entire absence
of demand tends to depress prices ; and that depression
acting on purchasers, deters all parties from operating.
These remarks apply alike to wool, yarn, and pieces.
HUDDERSFIELD, March 21.—There has been a very
quiet market to-day. It has been thinly attended by
merchants, and the purchases have been light. The
general feeling throughout the market is that of flatness.

I DRAIN OF BunioN.—There was a cessation of the
drain of bullion from the Bank yesterday, the only re-
mittances to Paris consisting of the gold brought by the
Sydney steamer on Saturday. The French exchange,
however, appears no longer to show an improving ten-
dency, and further amounts, therefore, will probably
be dispatched.
" LOVE RULES THE CAHP," &C.—A correspondent
says :—"ln your paper of last Saturday you mention the
interesting little incident of the young wife of a private
in the Rifle Brigade having dressed herself in his uniform,
and marched with the men in hopes of embarking, unde-
tected, in the Vulcan, and rejoining her husband, who had
sailed for Malta, as an officer's servant, in the Himalaya.
Her husband's comrades, who marched with her 'shoulder
to shoulder,' did not 'peach ;' but she was discovered on
calling the roll previous to the men going on board, I
believe, as there was Ho name for her to answer to ; and
she would certainly have been left behind if the matter
had not reached the ears -of the young Countess of Errol,
who was herself proceeding to Malta with her husband,
a captain in the Rifles. She kindly interceded for the
poor girl, who has sailed under the care of the brave
Earl's noble wife."--Preston Chronicle.

[ADVERTISENIF.NT.]—SIGHT AND HEARING. —39,
Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York
Hotel. The Royal Exhibition. - A valuable, newly-
invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and knoWn one mile and a half distant ; they
answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera
houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Tel new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3,i inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket.
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power; an Jbject can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles
distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have in-
vented invaluable preserving spectacle lenses. Imme-
diately they are placed before imperfect vision, every
object appears clear and distinct; the most aged, de-
fective sight becomes bright and brilliant, is brought
to its youthful, natural, and original state. Deaf-
ness New Discovery—The Organic Vibrator, an ex-
traordinary powerful and newly-invented instrument,.
for Deafness, entirely different from all others, to
surpass anything of the kind that has been or pro-
bably ever can be, produced. Being of the same
colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist.
ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons,
