gomery, Baron Watson, who had been for some
weeks in ill-health, was observed to put his hand-
kerchief to his face and a smelling-bottle to his
nose. He leant back in his chair, and it was evi-
dent that something more than a fainting-fit had
sized him. Several medical men were immediately
in attendance, and every means were resorted to,
that medical skill could devise, but he grew gra-
dually worse, and, a sofa cushion having been pro-
cured, he was laid upon it and conveyed to his
lodgings, which were close at hand. He had.
scarcely reached them when he breathed his last.
, The Baron's son happened to be attending his
lordship upon circuit, and was, of course, in attend-
ance upon him when he expired.
Mr. Bevan, whose name was in the commission,
announced to the grand jury the sad event which
had occurred, and stated that the Court would be
adjourned until 12 o'clock on Wednesday, as the
most respectful course that could be adopted.
It was stated by the medical attendant to be a
case of serious apoplexy.

THE L.I2'E SIGNOR LABLACIIE.

Notwithstanding the time that has elapsed since
the death of Signor Lablactic, which it may be re-
membered occurred on Jan. 23, 1853, a deep feeling
still attaches to all that concerns so eminent an
artist.

We are sure, therefore, that we shall give uni-
versal gratification by announcing that the Queen
has been pleased to present a copy of the portrait of
Signor Lablache, executed for her Majesty by Win-
terhalter, to the surviving relatives—a compliment
no less gratifying to the family than indicative of
her Majesty's appreciation of worth and excellence.
With mindful consideration, the gift is accompa-
nied with explicit suggestions—from such a dis-
tinguished quarter amounting to commands—that
the charge of the picture should be entrusted during
his lifetime to Signor Frederick Lablache, and at
his decease to be transmitted in succession to any
of his brothers or sisters, children of the late Signor
L. Lablache, thus providing that the picture should
remain a heir-loom to the family. A communica-
tion embodying such instructions accompanied the
gift, which, in accordance with her Majesty's com-
mands, has been recently delivered to Signor
gc,c4crick Lablache, as the eldest member of the

ASIATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, March 13.—The market in the cloth-halls
to-day has been of a quiet character. There was
scarcely a full average attendance of buyers, nor
were many large purchases made, but the tone of
the trade is cheerful and prices are firm. Light
fabrics aro the most in demand. The clothiers are
mostly well employed, but some of the dressers are
rather slack. Wool continues very firm in price.
MANCHESTER, 13TH.—The tone of the market
to-day is manifestly more depressed than at any
time last week. The continued absence of anything
like a fair demand for either goods or yarns has a
very discouraging effect, and though prices are, of
course, sustained as before by the existence of pre-
vious contracts, there is a much less firm appear-
ance than for some time past. If there were now
only sufficient inquiry to test quotations fairly, there
seems little reason to doubt their giving way per-
ceptibly. As it is, a more decided decline can hardly
be avoided unless some improvement takes place in
the prospects of business. In yarns generally there
is apparently less firmness than in goods, but in
both departments it is the Eastern trade that shows
most weakness.
I{ocIIDALE, 12Tn.—There has been a good de-
mand for wool to-day, especially for skin kinds, and
fully last week's prices have been obtained. There
was a rather quiet market for flannels, but where
manufacturers would make any abatement from
the topmost prices asked purchases were made.
For Yorkshire flannels there is a good demand, and
prices are firm. The manufacturers are well em-
ployed.
