STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 9.—The state of the Lyndon
money market, coupled with the failure of a joint-stock
bank at Newcastle, has had an injurious influence upon
business here; and the improvement which bad taken
place during the last fortnight in the demand for piece
goods, has entirely disappeared since Thursday. Most
descriptions of cloth, and especially 27-inch printers,
have been much neglected to-day, and prices which
would have been readily paid last week are nuw scarcely
attainable. In yarn, there has been less business, ex-
cepting in counts suitable fin. India, which hare been is.

tended, and very few pieces hare been sold. Future
pro-pr ets, at present, appear gloomy. Wool has under-
gone no change since last Monday.
HALIFAX,SATURDAY, MARCH G.—Neither in plain
nor in fancy goods is there any improvement, either as
regards demand or price. The demand for yarn con-
tinues much below the productive power, although there
is a little more doing for shipping ; but no advance in
prices can be obtained. As to long wool, spinners buy
from hand to mouth, with the turn in favour of the
buyer. In short wool, there is a little more activity,
but prices have rather a downward tendency.
HUDEERSFIELD, MARCH 9.—Although we have a
considerable number of buyers attending our market to-
day, there has not been the buoyancy which prevailed
last week. A failure to a considerable amount with one
of our woollen manufacturers, Las caused a great de-
pression during the week, and its effect has been felt
during to-day's market.
LEEDS, MARCH 9.—The transactions at our cloth
halls to-day have been very trifling; they form, how-
ever, no just criterion of the state of our trade, which,
upon the whole, is more satisfactory than for some time
past, since many of our clothiers arc well employed to
order, and on that account bring few goods to the
market. The demand runs chiefly upon low woollens
for the transatlantic trade, and upon Spanish stripes.—

ALLEGED MURDER IN WESTMOELAND.STREET.---
We regret to state that about half-past twelve o'clock,
A.M., yesterday, an unfortunat man, named Thomas
Kearns received two mortal stabs in Westmorland-street,
of which he almost instantly died. The individual who
inflicted the wounds is a sailer named John William
Hines, who was pursued and taken into custody, and will,
doubtless have to stand his trial at the approaching assizes
for this most serious offence. The facts of the case are
briefly told. Kearns, who was the father of five children,
kept a house of ill-fame at 51, Westmorland-street, and at
the hour we have mentioned (twelve o'clock at night) Him s
came to the house with one of the female lodgers. A brief
altercation took place, which ended in Hines stabbing Kearns
ttweice with a knife. The Mit stab entered at the bottom of
