STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MAY 26.—1 n some degree, probably owing
to the approaching holidays, the transactions in goods and
yarn have been exceedingly limited. The prices of cloth
generally remain firm. In yarn, a slight reduction on the
higher counts has been submitted to.
ROCHDALE, MAT 25.—We have had a rather better de-
mand for flannels to-day, and more pieces have been sold
than last ➢londay. In the wool market, the business trans-
acted has been limited, but prices firm.

HUDDERSFIELD, MAY 26.—N0 change has taken place in
our market : there has been the Lame dulness to-day which
we had to report last week. We have had London and Ger-
man buyers, but their transactions have been extremely
limited.

LEEDS, MAY 26.—Although for some articles a pretty fair
demand exi3te, the general character of cur market is dull,
and by no means an average business has been doing to• day.
The uncertainty of the fate of the Corn Bill evidently ope.
rates injuriously on our trade.—.ll;inchester Guardian.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. SAMUEL Da nwsztrnE.--We
regret we have to announce the sudden decease of this gentleman on
Monday evening lest. Mr. Darbishire was the eldest son of Mrs.
James Darbishire, of Greenheys ; and, having studied for the bar,
he was called thereto in May, 1842, at the Kirkdale Sessions, since
which period he had practised at the Borough and Salford Hundred
Sessions here, and also gone circuit, being a member of the northern
Year. On Monday last, the first day of the Salford Hundred Interme-
diate Sessions, he attended that Court, and conducted the prosecu-
tion against a prisoner charged with felony, in the last case tried that
day. At the rising of the Court he proceeded to the office of his
uncle, Mr. Charles Rober,s, wine and spirit merchant, Riding's-
court, St. Mary's-gate. He reached it about
.twenty minutes after
five o'clock, and there stated that he had been at the New
Bailey all day, and was rather fa-igued. He sat down, had a
glass of bitter ale with Mr. Roberts, and entered into conver-
sation with several gentlemen present ; and in the course of
conversation mentiened that he had been confined for sonic
time with neuralgia, and had had a tooth extracted that
morning. He remained in the office till about half-past six
o'clock, when he left, and after remaining at the door a new minutes
in conversation, he said he would go home, and was proceeding on
,his way; but before he got to the bottom of the Steps he suddenly
stopped, and discharged a mouthful of blood. Mr. Roberts, seeing
-This, became very much alarmed, and called some of his men to bring
a glass of water. In the meantime the vomiting of blood rapidly in-
creased ; but Mr. Darbishire seized the glace, and eagerly drank half
the water His stock was :mmaliately taken off his neck, and he ex-
claimed, " I am Choking," or "I am dying." Mr. Roberts upheld
him till an arm chair was brought, in which he was placed, and car-
ried back into the office, where he immediately expired in the arms
of hie uncle. Mr. Stephens, aurgon, of Bridge-street, who had been
sent for, arrived shortly afterwards, but on seeing 14r. Oarb:shire. he
said that vitality had been some time extinct. When the unfortu-
nate gentleman went into the office, Mr. Roberts said he appeared to
be in better spirits than usual.--Afanchester Guardian.
CONVEYANCE OF NEWSPAPERS.—Th. London and
Birmingham, Grand Junction, Midland, and Northern Railway Coin-
panics have made arrangements in conjunction, for the conveyance
of newspapers by the ordinary passenger trains, at a charge equal to
.one-half the existing rate for parcels, provided that in no case the
charge for a single package be less than one shilling. The London
and Birmingham Railway Company, in giving notice of this ar-
rangement, require that the packages shall contain " newspapers
only," and that they shall have authority to open and examine them
whenever they have reason to believe that this regulation is in-
fringed.
FALL OF A LARGE CHlMNEY.—Wednesday morning.
at a quarter before one o'clock, the large chimney at the chemical
works of Mr. Muspratt, at tire top of Vauxhall-road, Liverpool, tell
to the ground, but fortunately, without doing any injury to human
life, and very trifling to property, it only having destroyed three of
the sheds need in the proce,s of the manufacture. The chimney had
been in a dilapidated state, and was about being taken down, the
preparat;ons for which had weakened it, and so caused its fall. I'ro-
videntially the occurrence took place in the night time, otherwise
the sacrifice of human life might have been great, as the men en-
gaged in taking the chimney down were at work until near nine
o'clock on the previous night. The chimney was built in the year
1828, was thirty feet diameter at the base, nine feet at the top, and
231 feet in height from the foundation, being at the time it was
erected the tallest in England. It contained 260,009 bricks, the
weight of which was 1,400 tons; it is worthy of remark, that the
chimney was built by six men, in the short space of six weeks and
Three days.—Lirerpooi Courier,
