STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUEA)AT.—The yarn market has
somewhat disappointed the expectations which had
been generally formed from previous indications.
The accounts of trade and the quotations of current
prices in some of the continental markets, were indu-
cing an increase of operations,. to which a check
has been given to-day, principally by the
continued lifelessness at the Liverpool cotton
market, but partly, too, by the intelligence of
the actual entrance of Austrian and Bavarian
troops into Hesse Cassel. The German buyers have,
in fact, contented themselves with purchasing in a
very sparing manner, where they could do so to most
advantage; and the home consumers have acted on
the same principle. Under these circumstances, the
sellers of warps, cops, and bundles have not uni-
formly maintained their ground at the extreme
quotations of last week ; though, generally speak-
ing, the prices required are without change. Spin-
nings adapted for India are decidedly firm. The
improvement in goods at Calcutta has led to conside-
able transactions in shirtings, jacconets, and some
other articles, for that quarter. The shirtings in re-
quest are principally light fabrics, but partly also
medium qualities. In these various cloths, therefore,
there is a decided firmness as to prices ; indeed, a ten-
dency to harden in some of them. On the other hand,
printing cloths are dull—the lower makes extremely,
so—with some further appearance of weakness in re-
gard to value. The Brazilian merchants have advices
dated the last week in September, from which they
learn that advices from Manchester of July 3 had occa-
sioned considerable improvement in shirtings, mada-
pollams, and domestics; though prices were still
relatively behind those current with us. It is added
that, if supplies continued moderate, a profitable
trade might be confidently reckoned upon. The
supplies, however, have been very large. Still, the
increased value of Brazilian produce, with the abun-
dance of the crops, is greatly in favour of an enlarged
demand for our staples. Letters from Buenos Ayres
of the 14th August anticipate a good trade in our
manufactures with the return of their summer.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been a tolerably
fair demand for flannels to-day, at prices much the
same as those of last week. We have had much in-
quiry for wools of a low quality—say those varying
from Bd. to ls. per lb , which are rather scarce at
the present time. Former prices have been fully
maintained.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have HO new fea-
ture to note in respect to the trade here. The manu-
facturers are still complaining, whilst a great many
weavers continue out of employment, and are to be
seen about the streets. In fact, it now appears that
the wholesale silk mercers, in London and else-
where, are determined to keep bare of stock. The
throwing mills are still in full work, although
the prices of raw and thrown silk are now very
nearly assimilated. This state of things cannot,
of course, long continue, and must end either in the
manufacturers beginning to buy thrown silk more
freely, and setting the weavers to work again, or in
the mills being stopped or put upon short time; for
although there has been a fair demand for some de-
scriptions of thrown for the continent, this will not
be sufficient to keep the mills going at full time,
unless more is doing in our own market. The raw
silk market remains very firm.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—In the market of to-
day, business has not been so brisk as of late. The
few purchasers who attended have not been very
liberal with their orders, either with regard to quan-
tity or variety. The business done has been chiefly
in low plaids, and large chucks and stripes: and there
has been little or nothing doing in the wool market.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The principal inquiry in
our Piece Hall to-day has been for fancy goods of low
quality. Other descriptions of worsted are not much
sought after. There is no change in the yarn mar-
ket; the struggle between the merchants and the
spinners continuing, and the trade being, on that ac-
count, in a partially paralysed condition. Scarcely so
roach wool is changing hands, and the staplers are
firm holders at old rates.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have had good markets at
the Cloth Halls since our last report, and the demand
for mohair and heavy goods is at present very brisk ;
and, in consequence, prices have considerably ad-
vanced. There is a good average business doing in
the warehouses ; and stocks, both with merchants and
manufacturers, continue light.

HEALTH OF LONDON DU RING THE WEEK.
(Published by authority of theßegistrar-General.)
Tee return for the week ending last Saturday ex-
hibits a considerable increase in the mortality of pre-
vious weeks. In the first three returns of October
the deaths registered were successively 839,860, and
845 ; in the last week they rose to 945. In the ten
corresponding weeks of 1840-9 they fluctuated be-
tween 813 and 1,115, and were on the average 959.
But this average, if allowance be made for supposed
increase of population, becomes 1,046; on which the
present return shows a decrease of 101. The increase
of fever has been already remarked, and the observa-
tion is still borne out by the number of fatal cases
under this head ; the deaths from fever, which in the
two previous bills were 54 and 49, rose last week to
65. Scarlatina also appears to make some progress;
it was fatal in 41 cases, and seems to prevail in some
parts of Walworth and Camberwell. Last week
small-pox carried off 7 children and 2 adults ;
measles 21 children, hooping- cough 20, and croup 8.
Erysipelas numbers 7 fatal cases ; and of 10 women,
who died after childbearing, 7 sunk under puerperal
fever. The further decline of diarrhata and dysentery
is shown by the deaths from these complaints in the
last three weeks, in which the numbers have been
successively 37, 30, and 22, which last is about the
average of ten corresponding weeks. Last week 3
deaths from cholera were returned, but none of the
cases had assumed the malignant form of the disease.
They were as follows :
In Kensington, at 9, Earl's-street, on 24th of
October, the wife of a hawker, aged 57 years, died of
" choleraic diarrhoea (3 days), typhoid fever (6 days)."
In All Souls, Marylebone, at 60, Berners-street, on
231 October, the wife of an upholsterer, aged '4O
years, " English cholera, internal haemorrhage (3
dajs)."
In Peckham, at 2, New-road, Commercial-road, on
25:h October, the daughter of a lath-render, aged 4
ear., " English cholera with convulsions (30 hours)."
Mr. Clark, the registrars adds, that " the situation is
open and airy ; tt.e child was strong and in perfect
health on the previous day, and the disease cannot be
in any way accounted for."
Diseases of the respiratory organs discover a small
increase of mortality, a fact which may be viewed in
connexion with a fall of the weekly mean temperature
from about 50 deg. in the earlier pert of October to
42 deg. towards the end of the month. The increase
is observed in pneumonia (or inflammation of the
lungs) amongst children, and also in bronchitis
amongst aged people.
It appears from the return for the eastern sub-
district of Greenwich, that 9 old pensioners died in
the Royal Hospital, between the 24th and 29th of
October, and that their ages, the lowest of which was
61 years, and the greatest 90, averaged rather more
than 74 years; 71 deaths were registered during the
week in metropolitan workhouses, and 83 in hospitals
and other public asylums.
A girl 5 weeks old died from " an over dose of
syrup of poppies ;" and the wife of a labourer, aged
56, died on the 23d October, in St. Luke's Hospital,
from "melancholia, and refusal of food."
The births of 770 boys, and 749 girls, in all 1,519
children, were registered in the week. The average
of five corresponding weeks in the years 1845-9,
was 1,361.

the auctioneer might knock the lot down to him as
soon as he liked. This the auctioneer found was the
case, and the hammer went down amidst loud cheers.
Mr. Benjamin immediately banded over the order for
their delivery to the vicar of the parish, and thus a
Jew presented to a Christian Church articles that
otherwise wouid have produced a sum little short of
, 2001.
