STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TIIESDAY.—We have had a quiet
market, comparatively little business has been effected.
The consequence is that in many descriptions of yarns
and goods, the seller finds himself at some further
disadvantage in making a bargain. This unfavour-
able tendency is, however, for the most part, very
slight ; scarcely quotable in 20's and 30's reeled
water twist, and only in medium numbers
of cops and some counts of reeled mule,
exceeding per lb from the extreme rates of last
week. Some of the buyers have given out limited
orders on these easier terms, whilst others have de-
ferred their purchases from a feeling of uncertainty
as to whether or not a further decline may take
Place. The German merchants are discouraged by
the accounts from Leipsic, at the close of the fair,
Which state that business had greatly disappointed all
parties by its dulness, and the unfavourable bias of
prices consequent thereon. In 40-inch shirting and
other goods, principally made for India and China,
hardly anything has been done ; and their previously
low value is therefore not steadily sustained. Other
descriptions of cloth exhibit some degree of weakness,
a comparative firmness being however maintained in
domestics and 36-inch 72-reeds.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY. There has been a still
market to-day, and a limited amount of business
transacted at former prices. There has not been
much activity in the wool market, but previous prices
have been fully maintained.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—With respect to the
state; of trade here, we have very little fresh to notice,
consequent on the past week having been almost
wtiolly devoted to holidays ; the warehouses have
'been for the most part closed, and the transac-
tions in goods, either here or in London,
have not been extensive. The unsatisfactory
state of business throughout this year has begun
to show itself with weak houses, another failure
having occurred, with liabilities, which are fortunately
small when compared with the extent of business
carried on by the )mouse. The thrown silk market
remains totally without improvement, as fer as re•
gards home throwns. Foreign, on the contrary, are
in rather better request, partly owing to reduced
prices, and general comparative cheapness. The
business doing in raw silks remains limited, and will
most likely continue so until the result of the public
sales (announced for the 22.1 inst.) is known.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The aspect of our piece
hall to-day has not been animated ; and the inquiry
for worsted goods, both there and in the warehouses,
is becoming more and more curtailed. Our report of
the yarn trade is still unfavourable. There is scarcely
any demand, and the prices fall greatly below the
cost of production, at the current rates of the raw
aneterial. Wool maintains its price ; but as the spin-
ners purchase sparingly, and only to supply imme-
diate wants, the quantity changing hand, is not large.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have not much
change to report in our market of to-day, it con-
tinues much the same as last week. Thick woollens
for the winter home trade have.been more in demand,
as have also new styles in famcy waiscoatings.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market to-day has been
flat; but, es is usually the case, more goods were
sold on Saturday last. There is a fair business doing
in the warehouses for the home trade, but the ship-
ping houses continue quiet.

CURIOUS CASE OF SEDUCTION.
The Court of Assizes of the Seine yesterday tried
a man named Ner,ny for detornenzentyde mineure—
that is, carrying eff and seducing a young girl under
age. Tne prisoner is an Italian, anti an orange-
dealer by trade, and he has been long established in
Prance. He is 61 years of age, and ill-looking. In
1845, he married Appoline Lambert, but baying no
children by her, he, in 1848, consented to receive one
of her neices, Eugenie Lambert, into his house. Eu-
genio was then fourteen years and a half old, and she
acted as servant to the family. The prisoner, it ap-
pears, ingratiated himself into her favour, and inspired
her with a strong liking for him. In 1849 he left
home, to take a business journey to Spain. His wife,
who fancied she possessed all his affections, placed
her portrait in his trunk, to surprise him ; but he
took it into his head that it had been painted for
another person, and it subsequently appeared that
his niece Eugenie had made statements which
carised him to suspect the fidelity of his wife.
Rig accordingly never communicated with his wife,
'out wrote frequently to Eugenie, who boasted to the
neighbours how intimate she was with him. One
day after his return to Paris, Eugenie dressed her-
self in her best, and went away with the prisoner.
He placed her in lodgings in the Rue de la Jussienne,
and did not allow bor. family to know where she
was. At last her father, an honest workman, dis-
covered her retreat, but the prisoner took another
100,ging for her in the Rue Montraarte. Whilst she
was in these two places he allowed no one to visit her,
'and never let her go out unless accompanied by him-
self.
Her father again discovered where she was, and
insisted that she should be given up to him. But the
prisoner, pretending to be anxious to secure her wel-
. fare, out of gratitude to her for having revealed the in-
fidelity of his wife, undertook to send her to school,
a_9 to maintain her till the age of 21, but under the con-
on that the father should abandon all authority over
