STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JULY 27.--The uneasy feel-
ing which, during the last ten days,
London money market, still exercises an unfavourable
influence upon business here. Since Friday last there
has prevailed in the
has been a very' limited demand for yarn ; and the
higher counts of mule yarn have been obtainable on
rather lower terms; hut the lower counts, especially of
water twist, remain firm in price. For goods also there
has been a very limited demand, and prices have, in
some fa's cases, been slightly reduced.
llocriDALE, MONDAY, JULY 26.—There has been a fair
demand for flannels to-day, at prices much the same as
those of last week. The wool market has been still, and
the transactions very limited. Prices remain full as firm
as they were last Monday.
IIALIFAX, SATURDAY, JULY 24.---The attendance in
the Piece Hall to-day was unusually slender, and scarcely
any business was transacted. In yarn, also, we have
experienced another week of extreme dullnes; but prices
remain without alteration, owing to the firm way in
which wool is held. The wool market continues barely
supplied, and the staplers are firm in price.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JULY 27.--There has
been but little business done in the Cloth Hall, which
may be attributed to the excitement prevailing regard-
ing the election. We have a few buyers, but the transac-
tions are principally with the warehouses.
LEEDS, TUESDAY, JULY 27.--Notwithstanding the
excitement attendant on the election, which takes place
to-morrow, our ,market has been well attended, and a
fair amount of business done at late quotations.—Man-
chester Guardian.

FIRST CONVICTION UNDER THE TEN HOURS ACT.
—Yesterday, at the Borough Court, Messrs. Ogden and
Sons, cotton spinners, were summoned by Mr. Graham,
sub-inspector of factories in this district, for having a
number of persons employed in their factory for more
than eleven hours on the 9th instant. Mr. Graham
stated that he visited the factory on the 9th, and he
found a number of persons working after the time pre-
scribed by the recent Act of Parliament. He had acted
very leniently in this ease, for he was merely proceed-
ing in twelve dasVs. Ile lied reason to believe that since
the inforniatioif had been laid, Messrs. Ogden continued
to allow those persons to work longer than the law al-
lowed, and they had also shortened the time that was
allowed for meals. Mr. Ogden said he pleaded guilty
to the charge, and he was exceedingly sorry for what
had occurred. It was to be attributed to remissness
rather than anything else. They had a great many or-
ders on their books, and they wished to get them
finished as soon as they could, not thinking the provi-
sions of the Act would be enforced so soon. Mr.
Maude said it was clear the provisions of the Act had
been violated, and be would inflict a Penalty of 20s. in
each ease.—Manchester Guardian of Wednesday..

strange life for some
time past, and when she returned home her mother began
reprimanding her for such improper conduct. After a
stormy conversation she went out, returning about six
o'clock in a very agitated and wild state of mind, which
attracted the attention of the younger branches of the
family. She had not been in the house many minutes
before she was discovered suffering from an agonising
pain in the stomach. - Some suspicion arose, when they
sent for the nearest stirgebp, who pronounced her to be
labouring from the effects of some active poison. The
usual remedies were administered, and subsequently it
was deemed necessary to remove her to the accident
ward of Guy's Hospital, where she was placed immedi
ately under the care of Mr. Beaumont, the assistant-
surgeon for the ward. The stomach pump and other
remedies were resorted to, when it was ascertained she
had swallowed a large qeantity of' oiedie acid. Late last
eve-Ling sae was still :stir,, isut very ,
,light hopes were
held out by her medical attendant of saving her IFe.
