STATE OF TRADE.

MA.NCIIESTER, July 16.—The market continues
to experience the check which was reported on
uesday. The accounts ftoin India, although
favourable on the whole, have not led to the amount
of business in manufactured goods that was antici-
pated, and a feeling of disappointment prevails.
A downward movement appears to be apprehended
at Calcutta, and the impression is that there is no
prospect of any speedy improvement in the market
here. There is less business doing in cloths than at
the commencement of the week ; but prices are
about as they were.

A DOMESTIC TRAOlDT.—Yesterday an inquest was
held at North Woolwich on the body of a married
W( Mat), named Jane Nightingale, who committed
suicide, by drowning, on the previous Tuesday. The
facts of the else as detailed in evidence were of a melan-
choly description. It appears that the husband of the
deceased had been employed as a cellarmati, at a tavern
in the locality, but having been recently discharged, was
reduced with his family to much distress. At four
o'clock on the previous Tuesday morning the deceased
attired her children in their Sunday clothes, and, after
affectionately taking farewell of each, rushed out of the
house, and doubtless plunged into the river, as her life-
less body was found on the shore about four hours after.
The husban4, on hearing of the suicide, kflicted a fright-
ful wound on his throat with a razor. Mr. Walker, a
surgeon, of Woolwich, promptly attended, and left the
man in the care of the polio-, as be was in a state bor-
dering:on insanity. The inquest is adjourned.
SUPPOSED MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD.—Yesterday in-
formation was received by the police that the dead body
of a man of respectable appearance had been found in
a field near Hampstead under circumstances that lead
to the belief that a murder has been committed. There
are marks of extreme violence about the body and head,
the whole of the front teeth being knocked out of
the deceased man's upper jaw ' • there are also several
severe cuts about the knees and legs. The body is that
of a man about 50, clad in a'suit of black clothes, nea-ly
new ; the linen being marked "W. D." in red silk.
Nothing was found on the person to lead to identity,
nor any article of value ; and the remains were taken
to Hampstead workhouse.

MAN KILLED BY AN ENGINE.WHIEL.—An inquest was
held at the Five Bells, St Mary Cray, on Thut slay, on
the body of Edward Buck, a man upwards of 80 years of
nee, who was employed in the paper factory of Messrs.
Toynson of that place. The deceased was at work in the
stokehole, in which there is a pit about five feet deep
for the engine-wheel to work in. In this pit he was
found quite dead, with one of his legs cut off by the
wheel. It is supposed that be stumbled against a
wooden protection to an engine•shaft which is placed
about five feet from the wheel, and in recovering him-
self fell into the pit. The jury retureed a verdict of
accidental death, at the same time censuring the
unprotected state of the pit.
POOR BENEFICES IN THE DIOCESE OF LONDON.—The
Lord Bishop of London has just made a return to an
order of the House of Lords of the number of " I lane-
flees" within his diocese having endowments under 2001.
a-year. The list is a long one, occupying a space of
•three pages, closely printed. In many cases the clergy..
men, thus miserably "remunerated" for their arduous
and irksome duties, have not even a house provided for
them. This is the case with the incumbent of St.
Leonard's, Bromley, where there is a population of
13 000 souls ; in Upper Chelsea, with a population of
14,000 ; in St. Saviour's, Chelsea, with 8,150 souls to
he cured ; in St. James's, hi elerkenwell, with 30,000 ;
in Pentonville (theebapefon the bill), with 12.000, and in
two other districts of Clerkenwell ; in St. Peter'e, De.
Beauvoir-town, with 11,000 ; in holy Trinity, Islington,
with 10,500 ; in All Saints', Battle-bridge, with 15.271 ;
in S'. John's, Notting hill, with 7,500 ; in St. Botolph's
without, Aldgats, with 16,000 ; in St. Marylebone,
with 33,000 ; in All Souls', St. Marylebone, with
16,500 ; and in Christchurch, St. Mary lebose (Mr. L.
Davies, isounibent), with 30,000 ; in Trinity Church,
Lim:la-grove, with 11,648 ; in St. Mary's, Bryanston-
square, with 28,000 ; in St. Peter's, Walworth, with
27,000; in Trinity Church, Walworth, with 20,922 ; in
St. Philip's, Stepney, with 20,000 .

in Pimlico, with 14,892 ; and in St. Paul
Mile-end, with 11.000 ;in Sr. Clement Daee'e, Strand,
'o";nabas, Pimlico, with 13,844. In many
andwit h
St.l7 Barnabas,
other places where there is a house the population is
often immense, and yet the endowment of the pastor is
under 2001. a-year. In the perpetual curacy of Kings-
bury there is a house, but it is bracketed as " unfit,"
There are many other districts in the metropolis where
there are no endowments at all, or where they axe at
best but nominal,
