STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
The depression which we noticed last week has since
continued without abatement. Owing to the close of
the season for shipping to Germany, the non-arrival of
the expected India mail, and the uncertainty in which
the Levant trade is at present involved, the demand for
yarn was extremely limited ; and those who were com-
pelled to sell could do so only by submitting to a reduc-
tion of prices. Some descriptions of yarn, especially
water twist of the usual shipping counts, were sold yes-
terday at lower prices than were ever before known.
For goods, the demand was rather better than for yarn ;
but still the market was flit, and in some cases lower
prices were accepted. Some alarm was created on the
Exchange by the announcement of the failure, in Lon-
don, of Messrs. Johnston and Co., Irish merchants and
banking agents. As it was known that between twenty
and thirty Irish banks drew upon them, some fears were
entertained lest, in the present state of the money mar-
ket, and with the peculiar constitution of the Irish cur-
rency, a panic of a very dangerous character might be
created in that country by the announcement of the
failure. We regret to add, that another failure (of a
Yorkshire cotton spinner and manufacturer) was mare
known ; but we have not learned the amount of its en-
gagements.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL :MARKET, Nov. 9.—We have
had a more limited demand for flannels to-day, and con-
siderably less business has been transacted, at rather
declining prices. In the wool market there has been
but little change for some weeks past, either in prices
or demand.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, NOV, 10.—This was a
fair average November market day, a time of the year
when there is not much business done ; but there is
little to complain of generally. In some sorts of goods,
i prices have declined ; but heavy woollens and winter
goods of all sorts are firm. Wools are not much in re-
quest ; prices, however, have not altered. In the ware-
, houses business is dull.

It is intended to build at Cheltenham a new the-
atre, on an extensive scale, with a moveable pit, so as to
make it suitable for an equestrian arena.
ST. MARTIN'S-IN-THE-FIELDS.—On Tues-
day forenoon a numerous and respectable vestry meeting
of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, to adopt mea-
sures for the total repeal of the window duty, was held in
the vestry-room. Mr. Hutchins, Senior Churchwarden,
in the chair; the former Committee for attaining this
object was, after some discussion, re-appointed. The tax
was reprobated strongly by all the speakers, and the new
assessment was still more strongly condemned.
The weather during the last ten days has been
generally mild, with occasional heavy rains. 'Small patches
of crop are still out on the skirts of the moors, but gene-
rally speaking, the grain crop has been extremely well got
in, and the potatoes are now completely lifted over a wide--
district of country, but are still very high in price. There
is not a great breadth of wheat sown in this district, but
where It is grown the sowing process is far advanced, and
in some cases the plant already exhibits a healthy braird.

An inquest was held on Tuesday at Brompton,
on the body of William Callow, aged twelve, son of Mr.
Callow, of the firm of Meux and Co., brewers, who died
suddenly while at play in the grounds of an academy in the
neighbourhood, of which he was a day-boarder. Mr.
Robert Blemell Pollard deposed that he was proprietor of
Bleutell House establishment. Deceased was one of
day-boirders, and had been so for several years. Ou Mon.
day afternoon he was called to the deceased, whom he was
informed had fainted. Found him sitting in a ehair in the
school-room, supported by some of the boys, .nd apparently
insensible. Deceased was immediately bled in the jugular
vein and in the arm, hut without elllct. A gentleman
who was present said the deceased was a most extraordi-
nary boy. He would easily walk forty miles in a day, and
has frequently gene out alt day shouting with his father.
Mr. Robert Grey, surgeon, of Brompton-row, deposed
that he had that morning examined the body of the de-
ceased, sva, no marks except where deceased had been bled.
opening the head he found about half a pint of blood
effused on the surface of the brain, and on examining the
liver found in it a large cavity, which contained about a
pint of watery flail The extravasation of blood on the
brain was the immediate cause of death. The Coroner
said such a tumour in the liver of so young a person, and
without exhibiting any indication of disease, was an ex-
traordinary circumstance. He had no doubt the deceased
was heatcd and excited by the game he was
playing, which
occasioned the extravas:xtion on the brain. The Jury. ex-
pressed themselves satisfied, and returned a verdict of
Natural Death.
