INQUEST.—An Inquest was held yesterday at. the
Angel Inn, Hayes, on the body of a labouring man named Morgan,
who eipired suddenly on Wednesday evening at his lodgings._
Verdict--" Died by the Visitation of Cod."

Yesterday, about two o'clock, the house of Mr.
Louis Nelson, in the New North Road, was entered by the bark
kitchen window, and a large quantity of wearing apparel, table
linen, cud plate, stolen. A spiel) chisel was found near the window,
but no traces of the robbers could be discovered.

FIRE IN SPITALFIELDS.—About one o'clock this
morning, a fire broke out in the large premises, in Booth-street,
Spite'fields, occupied by Mr. Milner, the packer and presser,
the Old Change. The fire was first discovered issuing front the
top of the warehouse, which contained a large quantity of valuable
property, now completely destroyed. Mr. Milner has a steam-
eng►ne on these premises, and it is supposed that the flue front
the engine-house, which immediately joins the drying-room,
ignited the latter. The fire was got under in au hour, and no
serious accident happened.

TOWN COUNCIL.-EDINBUROH.--LORD MEL-
vtit.7.—lhe Lord Provost stated to the Council that he was sure
it would be very' agreeable to all of them, to have au opportunity
of thanking Lord Melville, personally, for the many services he bad
rendered to the city of Edinburgh, and particularly for the very
important arrangements effected regarding the Port of Leith, which
had been brought Aunt chiefly by the powerful and friendly as-
sistance of his Lordship. He had the pleasure to say to them,
that his Lordship had kindly accepted of au invitation to dine
with the Corporation, on Friday the Bth of September, in the
Royal Hotel, for which day he hoped the gentlemen would keep
themselvesdisengaged.—The Lord Provost's statement was re-
ceived with great approbation.—Caledonian Mercury, Auy. Si.

The Manufacturing Distress Gentlemen appear to
have been all wrong in their prognostications with re-
spect to the dearth of trade.

STATE OF TEA DE.—Since our last there has been
very little variation in the markets, although the demand for
vertain descriptions of goods, remains steady. tsam and power •
loom calicoes are much in request, and a trifling advance of price
has been asked for the former ; many hands have been Oaken on
again in Blackburn and other places, though nut to the extant
we could wish. The scarcity of money doubtless, is one great
cause why a more rapid improvement does not take place, but
every day, in which the supply does not exceed the demand, (as
is the case at present) must bring us a prospect which will
gradually, although slowly, brighten. As this town is in a great
measure governed by the Manchester markets, as can only say,
that the state of trade is no worse, and that in one branch there
has bean considerable business doing lately. The hands in the
employ of the largest dyeing and calico-printing establishment,
perhaps, in this kingdom, are making eight days a-week, and we
understand that the duty to be paid, for six weeks, will be nearly
equal to the amount paid by them in the most prosperous times.

fore Mr. Thorns, hotel% Coroner, ou the body of Jaiues Dia+.
