STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, Dec. 13.—The increased demand we,
have lately had for T cloths, lonacloths, and printers,
and for certain
,kinds of yarns, from the Greek houses,
and for all descriptions of light goods on the part of
the India merchants, together with considerable pur-
chases of yarns by the home consumers, would have
produced a more sensible improvement in the tone
of our market to•day, than we have actually expe-
rienced, had it not been for a renewed apprehension of
extended war arising out of the attack made by a
Russian squadron upon Turkish vessels in the Black
Sea. This has evidently checked the rising improvement ;
and the transactions of the day have been a good deal
circumscribed; but prices continue at least perfectly
firm, and any gain previously made is maintained. For
India yarns the inquiry appears to be over for the pre-
cent. Fine spinnings are flat and low in value. 30's and
40's doubled continue scarce and dear. Domestics
are coming more into request. At Stockport, the
spinners and manufacturers have generally commenced
working only four days a week. We hear of no change
in the places where the mills ceased working.
ROCHDALE,. Dec. 12.—We have had but a thin at-
tendance of buyers in the market to-day, who have
shown a great unwillingness to purchase except at re-
duced prices. Wool is quite as firm as it was the pre-
ceding week, and the manufacturers evince no disposi-
tion to buy but for immediate use.
HUDDERSFIELD, Dec. 13.—The market has been at-
tended by very few buyers to-day, and the business
done has been correspondingly small. At this particu-
lar season the market is not usually brisk, so that no
surprise is felt at the slackness of the demand. Heavy
goods for winter wear are what are mostly inquired for,
and of these about the usual quantity is selling. Wool
moves off slowly.
• HAI:11'11x, Dec. 10. —The attendance of merchants in
our piece hall to-day has been very limited, and few
goods of any description have found purchasers.

THE 11 _EPRESENTATION OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—
On inquiry in the proper quarter on Tuesday after-
noon, we were informed that Lord Paget, " for reasons
which are perfectly satisfactory to the Liberal party,"
declines to come forward. as a candidate, to supply
the vacancy recently created in the representation of
this division of the county. We were also informed
that there are " several eligible Liberals, who are
members of noble families in the county ready to
come forward, if solicited ; amongst whom are the
Hon. F. Calthorpe, son of Lord Calthorpe, Sir Fr
This
ncis
Scott, Bart., and the lion. Arthur Wrottesley."
is all the authentic information which we have been en-
to obtain with respect to the movements of the
ailed
Liberal party. Various rumours are afloat on the sub.
ject of the election, and some surmises have appeared in
our contemporaries ; but in the absence of accurate in-
formation, we deem it useless to occupy space. with mere
rumours, which may have no foundation in .. fact. An
active canvass on behalf of some Liberal candidate is in
progress. The canvass on behalf of Lord Ingestre is
also proceeding vigorously. Lord Ingestre, it is ex-
pected, will reach England, on his return from America,
about the end of the year.—Wolverhampton Chronicle.
BANK or NEW SOUTH WALES.—It is understood
that the London agency of this Bank have been advised of
the consignment to them of 15,000 ounces of gold by the
-Madagascar, 20,000 by the Chowring-hee, 20,000 by the
Roxburgh 'Castle 7,000 by the Tartar, 10,000 by the
Undaunted, and '15,000 by the Amhrosyne,n addit makinong
oltogether 87,000 ounces, worth 345, 000 Z., i
to 25,000 ounces sent them by the Victoria, just arrived.
The Madagascar and Chowringhee are known to have
a total of about 60,000 ounces each, and are expected
daily. All the others are looked for by the Ist of
January, and the receipts generally during the next 3
months will, it is supposed, be large.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT AT DUDLEY.—An accident
occurred on Saturday evening last, which has resulted
in the death of one of the most influential and eminent
ironmasters in this district, A. B. Cochrane, sew., Ea q.
q
It appears that the deceased gentleman arrived in
Dud-
ley per train, and engaged one of Mr. Thorne's cabs to
drive him from the station to his residence, near the
Netherton station. When near to theFarthing's-lane-
gate, the cab encountered a cart, and th
up, the vehicle was precipitated over ae horsen•emb rearing
ankment
about six yards deep. The driver leapt off, but the cab
and the horse turned completely over in the fall. Mr.

BLACKBURN. —On Saturday last, the handloom
weavers of Blackburn and district submitted to a reduc-
tion of about 8d per piece on " fancy sorts." This re-
duction is very heavy.. The winter prospects of the
handloom weavers
there are considered, even by them-
selves, to be very gloomy. The number applying for
parish relief is weekly increasing. On Monday, 300
tradesmen, ke., were sworn in as special t
constables. A
body of operatives in Blackburn intend to suppor, at
the annual meeting of the Philanthropic Burial Society,
which will be held in Blackburn on the 20th instant, a
motion, to the effect that 1,000/. of its
ives fu

to the support of the Preston op be strongly opposed,
erat of em-
ployment. The motion w
although, if carried, the officers may be prohibited from
paying the money, as the society is enrolled under the
9th and 10th Vic., c. 15.
BOOKS FOR THE HOUSE OF COIIIIONS.—A case of
books for the library of the House of Commons has la..
rived from France by a steamer from Havre, and the
necessary arrangements have been made by the Govern-
ment authorities for their admission and • delivery at
their destination.
