STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER PRODUCE MARKET, AUG. 21.—The
inquiry for sugar this week has been almost exclusively
confined to goad white Bengal, and foreign West Indian:
of these, however, none is offering at present, but a
parcel of the former is daily looked for,' and a cargo of
Porto Rico expected next month. some small lots of
Barbadoes have been sold at the previous value. Demand
for refined goods is restricted to the lower qualities.
Nothing worthy of notice has occurred in the silk
market this week.
Cotton is only in moderate request, and the transac-
tions are confined to small parcels.
The slight improvement in the goods market which
we noticed on Tuesday last, has continued to the present
time; and a fair amount of business has been done, but
without any advance is:- prices. The yarn market con-
ti Ales very quiet. Manchester Guardian.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10.—Wool—There
is a full average business doing in most kinds of combing
wools ; and as the farmers show no disposition to give
way iu price, the staplers are compelled to hold firm for
recent prices, which are generally submitted to. Yarns
—The demand for worsted yarns continues steadily to
improve, and notices are generally given to the power-
loom houses who buy for monthly delivery, for an ad-
vance in September, which will, in most cases, be given.
The shippers are doing a fair business, and the trade, on
the whole, so far as demand, is healthy, but the prices
not remunerating. Pieces—We cannot learn any alte-
ration in the piece market, either as regards price or de-
mand. The old stocks are fast moving off, auguring
well for good employment through the winter.
Bradford Observer.
NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY, AUG. 20.----There are but
small stocks on hand, either of finished or rough lace
goods. The demand is slowly but satisfactorily in-
creasing ; and by cautiously supplying the market with
suitable articles, the makers have again the chance of
working their machinery to some profit. It is quite
certain that all heavy goods cannot be made without
an increase in prime cost, an advance of 2d. per lb.
having been established upon the prices of all yarns
from No. 80 to No. 100. These numbers are likely to
go higher still. On the whole, our prospects seem to
improve. The best lace goods were never more uni-
versally worn that at the present time.—.Nottinghani

LEICESTER, THURSDAY, AUG. 20.—The demand still
continues good for both regular hosiery and fancy goods.
We hare no alteration to report in either wools or yarns.

PART OF A FEMALE FOUND IN

THE RIVER.

On Saturday morning part of a young female, consisting
of the legs, on which were a pair of Adelaide boots, and a
part of the body as far as the chest entirely divested of its
clothing, were discovered at low water near the landing at
the College-wharf, Greenwich, when the remains were con-
veyed at once to the bone-house of St. Aspalth Church. The
circumstance was immediately communicated to the various
police stations in the metropolis, and in the course of yes-
terday a poor Irish woman named Donovan, living at No. 24,
New-street, George-street, St. Giles's, stating she had a
daughter missing since the 12th of April last, and who
she supposed had been drowned, came down to view the
remains. Upon her seeing them, although so greatly dis-
figured from the length of time which they must have been
under water, immediately recognised the toes, in conse-
quence of one peculiarity, and when the boots were pro-
duced, she stated they were the same which she had
bought her daughter a few days previous to her being miss-
ing. The suspicious circumstances of this affair are as
follows :—On last Easter Sunday her daughter attended
high mass in the morning, she afterwards came home and
partook of some dinner, soon after that dressed, and told her
mother she was only going to have a gossip; this was about
three o'clock in the afternoon ; an hour afterwards her
cousin, named Mary Quindon, saw three strange young men
speak to her near a public-house in Wardour-street ; she
heard them ask her to have something to drink; she then
went in with them; on their coming out she said they
wanted her to go to Greenwich, but not having any money
she declined going, upon which one of the three pulled out
a handful of silver, and said, "Never mind, I have plenty."
Upon this they walked across the street with her, much to
the surprise of the cousin, as she considered her a very
prudent young women. They evidently wished to get her
out of sight of her cousin, by their manner, and the signs
which they passed among themselves. A short time after
this the same three young men were seen by another young
woman coming out of a different public-house with the de-
ceased. This was the last time she had been seen,
and the mother, in consequence of her daughter not re-
turning the same evening, gave information at the
St. Giles's police station. Since the affair, Mary
Quindon discovered the residence of the young man who
showed the silver to be at 71, Wardour-street, Oxford-
street, and in consequence the mother made an
application about three months ago at the Marlborough
Police-court for his apprehension, but the magistrate declined
interfering under the circumstances. About six weeks since,
being informed that a young female had been picked up near
the Strand, the mother went to identify the body, which
proved to be one of the two females who were drowned off
Vauxhall-bridge. She returned home, and after standing at
her own door crying about ten minutes a strange young man
came up and asked if the body was that of her daughter.
Upon an answer in the negative, lie said, " I was on board a
steamboat at Westminster when she (the deceased) with
three young men, came on board, and the boat had hardly
left the pier ten minutes before she fell overboard." After
lie had said this, he immediately went away. The impres-
sion left on the mind of the mother since that time, and also
the cousin, was that some foul play had taken place, more
particularly because the deceased was never known to go
out with any young men before. The remains are in such a
frightful condition as to preclude the possibility of a medical
man giving a decided opinion; but in consequence of the
above facts having been made known to the police authori-
ties, the necessary steps have been taken to apprehend the
parties who were last seen in her company.

DEATH OF THE MARQUIS 01.- THOMOND.—We regret
to have to record the decease of the Marquis of Thomond,
who expired on Friday last, at Taplow House, near Maiden-
head, after an illness of only ten days. The deceased
William O'Bryen, Marquis of Thomond, Earl and Baron of
Inchiquin, and Baron of Barren, county Clare, in the peerage
of Ireland •, and Baron Tadcaster, of Tadcaster, county
York, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was son of
Mr. Edward O'Bryen, brother of the first Marquis, by
Mary, daughter of Mr. Carrick. Ile was born. in the year
1766, and was consequently in his 80th year. The late
Marquis married, in September, 1799, Elizabeth Re-
becca, only daughter and heir of Mr. Thomas Trotter, of
Dulek, county Meath, who survives her husband. The late
Marquis entered the army at a comparatively early age,
and was in the 12th Regiment of Foot, at the capture
of Guadeloupe and St. Lucie, and subsequently proceeded
to the East Indies with that regiment in active service.
Ile eventually exchanged from the infantry to the 14th
Dragoons, but retired from the army in 1800. On the
death of his uncle, the first Marquis, in February, 1808,
he succeeded to the family honours and estates in the
county of Cork. The deceased nobleman was, with the
exception of the King of Hanover, the senior knight of the
most illustrious order of St. Patrick; was a privy coun-
cillor for Ireland since 1828, colonel of the Cork City
Militia, extra aide-de-camp to the Queen, and his late
Majesty William IV., and a representative peer for Ire-
land since 1816. In default of male issue, the late Marquis
is succeeded in his title by his brother, Vice• Admiral Lord
James O'Bryen, G.C.H. (now Marquis of Thomond). Lady
Susan, married to the Hon. Captain George F. flotharn,
R.N. • Lady Sarah, married to Stanhope Taylor ;
Lady; Mary, married to Viscount Berehaven ; and Lady Eliza-
beth, married to Mr. George Stukeley Bucke, are daughters
of the late Marquis. He possessed valuable property in Ire-
land, but had not for many years past visited that country.
He was a staunch Conservative, but, from his advanced age,
had tot lately interfered in politics. By his*Lordship's de-
mise a vacant ribbon of the order of St. Patrick falls into
the gift of the Premier.

LAUNCH AT BLACKWALL.—on Saturday afternoon
a three-masted iron schooner, called the llanger, was
launched from the yard of Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill,and Cu"
