SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.—This morning, between
seven and eight o'clock, as the pot-boy of the Coach and
Horses public-house, in Bill-street, Berkeley-square,
was passing along Bruton-street, Bond-street, he found,
lying on the footway pavement, a small bundle, tightly
wrapped round in some pieces of a cotton gown. On
opening it he was excessively terrified at discovering that
its contents were the body of a new-born female child.
It was immediately taken charge of by the police, and
ultimately conveyed to St. George's workhouse, and Mr.
Higgs, the coroner, has issued his warrant for holding
an inquest to-morrow evening. The appearances Of the
child are stro.tgly indicative of its having been born
alive, and about the head there are strong marks of vio•
lence, and also compression about the throat.

STATE OF TRADE.—What has long been the staple
trade of Paisley, the manufacture of shawls, is very flat
at present, so far at least as the manufacturers are con-
cerned. The stock of goods made for the season has
been very select and limited, and till they are disposed
of the manufacturers, with one accord, seem reso;ved
to add nothing more to its amount. These go, ds still
continue the principal article of dress in the highest
circles, and will do so, as long as Cashmere exists, or India
shawls continue to be made, to be worn, and to form the
most costly article of attire for the female form. Owing
to the substitution of various other articles for shawls
amongst the middle and working classes, the demand
for Paisley goods continues, however, limited in the
meantime ; but, if the present policy of the manufac-
turers be persevered in, the stock on hand will
be gradually diminished by natural demand, in
place of being sacrificed, and an effort made
to supplant it by newer patterns, as hitherto
In balzarines or gauzes, as well as in tartans and
other descriptions of plain goods, the operatives continue
to find abundance of employment, though at very low
wages. The tartan trade, in various departments, seems
rapidly rising a staple commodity of manufacture in this
quarter. Paisley-made tartans are much sought after,
and, as they progress, we have not the least doubt but
that, both in that fabric and in the finer descriptions of
muslins, our first-rate tradesmen, by a little application
of their ingenuity, will open up departments which will
afford them a better remuneration than they now ob-
tain, and the low paid inferior work, which many of
them are employed at, will be handed over, as it ought,
to the younger members of the trade, and the inferior
descriptions of workmen,—Glasgoto Saturday Post.
