STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 6.—We stated on Tuesday
that our market showed some increase of business
in goods ; and this has continued to be the case
since then. The purchases are almost entirely for
exportation ; the home trade being exceedingly stag-
nant. In prices there is some irregularity, though
general quotations scarcely vary at all. The improve-
ment is but slight, however, and the week must be re-
ported a dull and anxious one. Yarns are exceedingly
flat, and prices scarcely steady at previous rate. Not-
withstanding the greater facility in obtaining discounts,
and the somewhat more favourable rates at which they
may be effected, money continues very scarce in this
neighbourhood, and the recent failures occasion a good
deal of apprehension. The state of our relations with
the Kited States, and the position of the corn-law
question, tend also to hinder the growth of confidence.
MANCHESTER PRODUCE MARKET.—There has been a
good demand for sugar this week, and 700 bags white
Bengal, at auction, on Thursday, sold with spirit at full
prices ; from 51s. 6d. to 535. 6d. ; with damp, from 51s.
to 525. The attendance of buyers was numerous, not
only from the immediate locality, but also from the
neighbouring towns. A further quantity is announced
for sale next week, and the trade are now relying upon
a constant supply. A large business has been done in
refined goods, at an advance of 6d. to Is. per cwt. The
tea market is quiet ; about 300 chests of congou are
announced for sale on the 19th instant. Nothing wor-
thy of notice is passing in the silk market : a small
public sale of China is announced for Thursday next.
BRADFORD, MARCH 5.--WOOL.—Onr market is still
heavy ; so little being consumed, compared with this
period of 1845, and of some kinds the market is not
abundantly stocked ; prices exhibit no material change.
YARNS.—The state of the yarn trade is without a pa-
rallel, notwithstanding the diminished production, of
machinery totally idle, and the rest only partially em-
ployed, no stimulus is given to improve this distressed
branch of our trade, and the spinners are really weary
of their profitless avocation. PIECES.—There is nothing
different this week, the merchants buying only for pre-
sent wants ; and export houses are steadily looking on,
WP hope, contemplating renewed activity.—Bradford
Observer.

NOTTINGHAM, MARCH s.—There are several symp-
toms of a partial revival in this market ; buyers are
beginning to appear from London and the country, and
others are expected from Germany, preparatory to the
Leispic fair. The news from Australia is not considered
bad for trade. A good many things are charging
hands, but at low prices. In no department of lace
goods are stocks heavy, either at home or abroad ;
neither are yarns lowered in any material degree ; but
all parties buy with extreme caution, and are likely to
do so throughout the present crisis.—Notts. Mercury.
LEICESTER, MARCH s.—The home demand still re-
mains flat. The news from America will also suspend
the manufacturing for that market, usually commencing
a' this season. Yarns remain dull without alteration in
price. A fair business continues doing in wools; noils are
scarce and command better prices.—Leicester Journal.
BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET.—Rather more disposition
has been shown to do business this week, and prices ;are
decidedly firmer. The transactions reported amount to
about 420 hhds. West-India, 3,000 cwts. Mauritius,
and 500 Bengals ; but for the latter description of
sugar the demand is still dull, although decidedly the
cheapest in proportion to the prices ruling for the sorts.
Refined goods are in improved demand.—Bristol Mer.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The .following distin-
guished personages were present on Saturday night :—Their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,
3a tre.

popular writer's most successful works. Her caustic powers
are exerted in it to their full scope ; and while the vulgarities
and absurdities of "The Roberts's" during their grand tour
in France, Germany, and Italy, are as amusingly sketched as
can well be conceived, the moral purpose of the story (which
is not its least recommendation) is never lost sight of. The
Quarterly Review has observed of Mrs. Trollope, that "she is
beyond a doubt one of the cleverest and most remarkable
writers of the day. With a quickness of observation which
takes in the whole object at a glance, an insight into motives
that seems instinctive, a keen perception of the ridiculous,
and strong powers of humorous delineation, sho is the person
of all others to expose pretensions, or unmask hypocrisy."
These remarks could not be better applied than in the case of
" The Roberts's on their Travels."

Bachelor Carpenter, residing for twenty years past at Hampstead,
hat been laid tip for aconsiderable thee with a diseased ankle ; the pain
was often almost maddening. By bad treatment, humours settled in
her head and other parts, causing incessant and distracting head-
aches, which had such an effect upon her health that therewas every
symptom of her constitution breaking up. Site had recourse to
numerous medical men without obtaining the least benefit ; but, not-

her as well as ever she was in her life. To be purchased of all who

THE LATE OUTRAGE AT DF.PTFORD.-011 Saturday
morning, at Southwark police .court, information was brought
to the magistrate that the policeman, James Hastie,
of the
R division, had died at Guy's Hospital from the injuries in-
flicted on hint at Deptford. The unfortunate man was so

about a
his death. It appears that week previous to the
affair lie had taken two or three men into custody for
dgrivieai(l Igfulalyny wounded that he has been quite incapable of
creating a disturbance near the spot, where he was afterwards
attacked. The men were fined at the time, and it seems that
this act excited revengeful feelings against him, and that his
late assailants were, in some way, mixed up with the pre-
vious affair, and had on that account attacked him, lie
