STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—By the Canada we learn
that the weather in the States was still, in the highest
degree genial and favourable to the growing crop;
that the receipts at the porta in the last week
were 38,000 bales against 26,000 in the cor-
responding week of last year, whilst the ex-
ports to Great Britain were 6,000 against 17,000;
and that, under these circumstances, the New
York and the southern markets continued to be de-
pressed and unsettled, with a slight additional decline
is prices. The character of our market is in accord-
ance with the still improving prospect as to the supply
of the raw materials. Although the producers of
yarns and goods continue free from stocks, and not
without orders, they are yet so desirous of renewing the
contracts that are running out, as still to give some
advantage to the buyers in making a bargain. Last
week's decline in the value of yarns may be stated at
*3. to id. per lb. upon common to good seconds,
mule and water, in the bundle, and also upon warps
and cops. That depreciation, and the some what
lowered prices of goods, have generally become more
settled to day, and, in some things, are carried a little
further. Last week, concession led to operations of
considerable aggregate amount in articles suitable for •
India, China, Germany, and the Mediterranean;
to-day, however, there has been less disposition for
business amongst the buyers, and the market has been
an inanimate one.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market, in-
stead of improving, grows worse, and the merchants
buy very sparingly. The demand for wool continues
very limited, but prices are very firm, and are rather
looking upward.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Very little variation
has taken place in the state of the manufactured goods
trade, the demand for both home and foreign descrip-
tions retaining a quietness which has of late become
characteristic. Stocks are light, and production is going
on so leisurely as to leave no anxiety on this head,
even if the present state of things continues. In
thrown silks the business done of late has been insig-
nificant, with nominal prices. Production in this de-
partment is consequently at a very low ebb, there
being scarcely any margin between it and the raw
material. Raw Silk—The public sales held in Lon-
don on the 22d instant have terminated, at which
6,825 bales were put up, nearly the whole of which
passed without bidding ; business by private contract
was subsequently entered into, to the extent of pro-
bably 700 bales various qualities, •at a reduction (in
some instances) of 6d. to ls. per lb.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—To-day's market has been
flatter than that of this day week ; and but few
goods have changed hands, either in the piece hall or
in the warehouses. In yarns and wools there is no
alteration. For the former the spinner cannot obtain
a price that will cover the cost of production; and for
the latter the stapler is unable to realise rates as high
as those demanded by the growers.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market to-day
has been very quiet ; not much inquiry for any
kind of goods. Stocks continue low, as soma
thee of
the manufacturers are working short time.
I
wool market nothing is oingadvanhce at themanufacturers
London
here will not give the recent

sales.
LEEDS, TUESD.IY.—Tho woollen-cloth trade con-
tinues dull and languid, both with the manufacturers
and merchants. There is very little doing to order,
but prices are without change.

PARLIAMEIV TARY REFORM.
A meeting of the Council of the Manchester Parlia-
mentary Retorm Association was held at Manchester
last evening, Mr. George Wilson in the chair, and in-
fluentially attended, to consider the propriety of a Con-
ference being held in reference to the measure of reform
said to be contemplated by the Government. After a
deliberation, in which great unanimity of sentiment pre-
vailed, it was agreed, upon the motion of Mr. Bright,
M.P., seconded by Mr. Kershaw, M P., that the Prime
Minister having announced it to be the intention of the
Government to introduce a measure for the reform of
the representation in the coming session of Parliament,
this Council, complying with many urgent requests from
various parts of the country, resolves to convene a meet-
ing of the friends of reform, chiefly, though not exclu-
sively, from Lancashire and Yorkshire, for the purpose
of conferring on the steps which may be necessary to
give due expression to public opinion, and thus to secure
such a measure of reform as may be sat!sfactory to the
country.
Arrangements were to be made, if possible, to hold
the Conference in the first week of December.

ST. AT.BAN'SBRIBERY COMMISSION.
Yesterday Messrs. Slade, Phinn, and Forsyth, the
Commissioners appointed to inquire into the truth of the
alleged existence of bribery at the last election for St.
Albau's, resumed their investigation at the Court House
in the borough, when. as on the preceding day, a large
number of the inhabitants were present, some of them
ladies, to hear the proceedings.
Mr. Bell, the sitting Member, was again in attendance,
as was also, for a considerable portion of the day, Alder-
man Sir H. W. Carden, the unsuccessful candidate at the
last election.
Mr. Bell and Messrs. Brace, Colt, Simpson, and
Bowen, were examined, but we purposely abstain from
publishing the evidence, in accordance with the express
desire of the Chief Commissioner.

THE PROPOSED RAILWAYS IN EGYPT.—Mr. Wyld
has just published an admirable map of the Isthmus of Suez
and Lower Egypt, in which the various routes at present in
existence across the Isthmus are accurately laid down, and
the course of the proposed railway and the proposed ship-
canal, are clearly exhibited. The want of such a map at the
present period wasgreatly felt, and Mr. Wyld, with his usual
promptitude, has supplied that want, and supplied it per-
fectly.

The unfortunate woman Musgrove, who was so
severely injured by the explosion of gunpowder at Pendle-
bury, near Manchester, has died of her injuries.

UNLAWFUL OATHS IN IRELAND--11l the late
session an Act was passed to continue other Acts, for a period
of five years, against the administering or taking of un-
lawful oaths in Ireland. The present Act will continue to
the year 1856.
NATIONAL GALLE3Y AT EDINBURGH.—Under an
Act of Parliament passed last year, operations have been
lately commenced to erect a national gallery,on the Earthen
Mound in the city of Edinburgh. The Act was also passed
for the promotion of fine arts in Scotland. The Treasury
has approved of the plans of the building. The gallery is
to vest in the Royal Improvement Commissioners, and to be
applied to the purposes intended, subject to the approbation
of the Treasury. a

SutcinEs.— On Sunday morning a man named John
Howard, aged 78, a pensioner, formerly of the Coldstream
Guards, blew his brains out with a pistol in Hill-strect,Wal-
worth ; and a man named Costello cut himself across the
side to such an extent, in Longacre, as to cause his liver to
protrude.
