STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The improved accounts
of the Bombay market, in regard to yarns and goods,
which were received on Friday last, have led to an
increase of business for that quarter. Some rather
considerable sales of ahirtings have been made, on
slightly better terms than were before practicable,
and an advance of I id. to 3d. per piece is now de-
manded. We mentioned in our last that the eastern
merchants were doing more in yarns, especially in
the finer numbers. To-day this is extended to
lower counts, and the quotations are raised id. to
id. per lb. since this day week. The continental
buyers have proceeded cautiously, and to a very
limited extent ; and the home consumers of the lower
and middling counts have still held back from pur-
chasing. Influenced, however, by the hardening ten-
dency of the raw material, and in some degree encou-
raged by what is going on for India, the producers of
bundles, warps, and cops exhibit greater firmness than
they did a week ago, and, in general, are more diffi-
cult to deal with than they were then. The same
causes affect the manufacturers in the same way
as the spinners ; and, though not able to sell freely,
they hold more steadily to their prices than of late,
for other cloths, as well as the India descriptions.
The reports are good from the Leipsic fair ; and all
accounts go to show a highly satisfactory state of
trade throughout Germany, holding out an encourag-
ing prospect as to the demand for English yarn.,
though the high range of prices may continue to in-
duce the manufacturers to work upon as little stock
as possible, which, however, must cause their opera-
tion to extend through the winter, more than they
have usually done.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has not been so good
au attendance of buyers in the market to.-day, and
the business transacted has been of a more limited
nature than usual. The merchants have been offering
less prices fur flannels, and in some instances it may
have been accepted. There is a good demand for
kerseys, and the manufacturers find a ready sale for
them at last week's prices. There is no change in the
wool market worth reporting.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The aspect of business
here remains unchanged, with a moderate inquiry
for manufactured goods. We look, however, for a
better demand ere long ; as, taking the last two years
for index, the winter season has proved more active
than any other part of the year. In the thrown silk
market a more general inquiry prevails, with a better
disposition on the part of buyers to make purchases.
The raw silk market is very firm, the only feature
worth notice is the declaration of public sales to take
place in London on the 234 inst., at which moat of
the recent importations of China and Bengal silks are
expected to be brought forward.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been a
falling off in the business of our market to-day, the
demand for goods has not been very active, owing to
the continued wetness of the weather. The goods
that have been principally called for have been stripes
and plaids of large pattern, for home consumption.
The fancy manufacturers complain of the inactivity
of their branch of business. The wool market is not
so firm as before, a rather lower figure being asked
for some qpalities.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The demand for worsted
goods continues somewhat languid, and the manu-
facturers produce cautiously, except to order. A
little inquiry begins to be made for fancy goods for
the next season. The yarn trade is pretty much as
it was. The spinners are fully employed on old
orders; and the shipping houses will not enter into
any new contracts, except at a reduction. Much de-
pends on the result of Leipsic fair. the prospects of
which are, at present, favourable. There is not much
doing in wool, and no alteration in prices.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Since our last report there is
little change to notice in the trade. There has not
been much done at the Cloth Halls, and the woollen
trade generally is rather quiet. There is a fair busi-
ness doing in the warehouses for the home trade ; but
in the shipping houses trade is rather dull.

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The deaths registered in London in the week end-
ing last Saturday were 893. In the corresponding
week of ten years (1840 9) the average was 970,
which, if a certain proportion be added for supposed '
increase of population, becomes 1,058 ; the , present
rate of mortality, therefore, continues comparatively
low, and the decrease of last week amounts to 165
deaths. The class of zymotic or epidemic diseases
exhibit in this return 195 fatal cases. This is a lower
number than in any corresponding week since that of
1846, when there were 179 • in those of the three
only7k;
following years the deaths from epidemic diseases
were respectively 318, 430, and 6eoaBs measles 608. Last
in week
smallpox was fatal in 10 cases; m
hooping cough in 27 • scarlatina in 31. A. death
from the last •mentionedcause occurred in Mill-street,
St. James, Bermondsey ; and Mr. Martin, the regis-
trar, observes, that out of ten deaths which he regis-
tered during the week, six, arising from various
diseases, occurred within a few yards of the
tidal ditch, Jacob's Island, " yet the intolerable
nuisance remains unabated." The mortality from
diarrhoea and dysentery continues to decline; the
deaths, which in a week of August rose to 155, have
now fallen to 47. It is worthy of note that 13 deaths
occurred in the workhouse, Whitechapel (North sub-
district), all with one exception between the 27th of
September and 4th October; and of these, 7 were
caused by diarrhoea, 2 by fever, and the remaining 4
by various causes. Seven deaths from cholera (five
of which were among children) were registered last
week—a number which is rather more than has been
usual lately. The following are the cases in detail:—
In St. Mary, Paddington, at 7, Hall-place, on the
30th of S- ptember, a grainer, aged 19 years, "cholera
spasmodica (48 hours), subsequent fever (3 days)."
In All Souls, Mary lebene, at 38, Union-street, on
the Ist of October, the son of a bricklayer (deceased),
aged 5 years, " bilious cholera (2 days), convulsions
(8 hours)." The child was healthy up to the time of
attack, which suddenly commenced with bilious
vomiting.
In the same sub-district, at 39, Foley-street, on
the Ist of October, a coachmaker, aged 44, " rheu-
matic fever, aggravated diarrhoea, cholera."
In Somers-town, at 61, Brill-row, on the 24th of
September, the son of a plasterer, aged 20 months,
"Engli,h cholera" (post mort.)—lnquest.
In Islington West, at 6, Payue-stret, on the 27th
of September, the daughter of a bricklayer, aged 15
mouth!, "cholera infantuta (1 day).".

In St. Mary, Strand, at 2, White Lion•court, St.
Clement Danes, on the 2d of October, the son of a
blacksmith, aged 6 years, " cholera (l 8,; hours)."
In Guy's Hospital, on the 3d of October, a sailor-
boy, aged 14 year., " cholera." He had been
brought from the ship Belle, opposite Hay's Wharf,
St. Olave's.

Besides the ordinary causes of mortality, a few
cases of a special character, extracted from the re-
turns of the wcek, deserve to be mentioned. Two
men and a woman died from intemperance, besides a
case of suicide during insanity, which was the result
of the same habit. Another case of suicide is reported,
in which a boy, whose age was 0n1y,12 years, banged
himself when insane, and was suspended about 10
minutes. Death did not ensue till three days after-
wards. A boy of 8 months died from anmmia (5
weeks), following haemorrhage from lancing the gums.
Vaccination was fatal to a child by producing erysi-
pelas. Two persons died of tic douloureux.
The birth of 680 boys and 722 girls, in all 1,402
children, were registered in the week.

PROPOSED STEAM LINE FROM LIVERPOOL TO THE ST.
LAWRENCE.—We are informed that a scheme is now pri-
vately in agitation for the construction of a line of steam-
ships, of large carrying capacity, between the Mersey and
Quebec, in order to promote the prosperity of the Canadian
provinces, and the comfort of emigrants and passengers
to the settlement of the far west, of Canada, and the United
States. Several documents bearing on the project have been
placed in our possession by the gentleman from whom it has
originated, but our restricted space will not permit of any
detailed description. We believe the leading features to be
however, the formation of a steam line as indicated, and
the advantages may be summed up in the following brief
space Ist, Extension of steam enterprise into a new
region; 11, Tendency to throw emigrants into the British
colonial possessions, rather than those of a foreign Power;
3d, Greater comfort and welfare of emigrant passengers,
who, instead of being landed among the sharpers who thi orfg
the quay-s 9f New York, may be carried up to Quebec, there
transferred to steamers of 500 tons burden, and at once
draughted on board those steamers to the far west of Canada,
or rid the lakes, rivers, and Welland Canal, to the far west
of the United States, or, finally, via the Mississippi, even to
the Gulf of Mexico; fourth, tendency to cement he union
of the parent country and her magnificent dependency, to
foster the Canadas as sources of timber supplies, in the event
of an interruption of supplies from the Baltic by the occur-
rence of a war with Russia, and also to develops the agricul-
tural resources of the colony. During the week the plan
has been submitted to several gentlemen in Liverpool, and,
Nis believe, has also been laid before Lord Stanley, and Mr.
Hawes, Under-Secretary for the Colonial Department. For
our own part we are happy to introduce it to public notice,
expressing, however, no opinion save upon the general expe-
diency of the merchants of this country grasping every ad-
vantage offered to advance the growing development of
steam communication in almost every region.—Liverpool
