STATE OF TRADE.—MANCIIIESTER, Tuesday.—The
market opens buoyantly, and the bnsiness of the day
will be large, if the increased prices demanded by pro-

tend to confirm the tone of this market.

inquest has been held yesterday on the, body, and a ver-
dict of wilful murder returned.

THE DIVISION Or LAST NIIITIT.—The cause of the
three member:4 not voting, in the usual way was this :

against Mr. Moore's motion, and found the doors of the

votes at the table.
