The Stortbing of Norway, in iti sitting of the
Ist instant, adopted a Bill presented by the Govern-
ment for having ten clever workmen, of good cha-
racter, selected each year by the Minister of the In-

of the state, to France, England, and Germany, to
gain information respecting their several trads. The
ten men named for ISSI are three mechanicians,
three cabinet-makers, a mason, a saddler, a tinman,

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—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 id. 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.
IVIACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—With respect to the
state of trade here, we have very little fresh to notice,
consequent on the past week having been almost
wholly devoted to holidays ; the warehouses have
been for the most part chsed, 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 o❑ by the house. The thrown silk market
remains totally without improvement, as far as re-
gards home throwns. Foreign, on the contrary, are
in rather Letter 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,l 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
material. Wool maintains its price ; but as the spin-
ners purchase sparingly, and only to supply imme-
diate wants, the quantity changing hands 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 fancy waiscoatings.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market to-day has been
flat ; but, as 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 Nerony for detornementyde mineure—
that is, carrying off and seducing a young girl under
age. Toe prisoner is an Italian, and an orange-
dealer by trade, and he has been long established in

1845, he married Appoline Lambert, but having no
children by her, he, in 1848, consented to receive one
of her neices, Eugenie Lambert, into his house. Eu-
genie 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,

her. This was agreed to, and the girl was placed in
