MANCHESTER, Nov. 13.—1 n order to come
at proper conclusions respecting the markets, it may not
be unnecessary to state that there is, at all times, some
business doing in the Cotton Trade, it being extended al-
most beyond calculation or belief; but, even with the busi-
ness alluded to, there are intervals when comparative dulness
and depression are too evident. Such is now the case, the
general market being heavy and depressed, whilst business
is :being carried on to a considerable extent in some
branches. Fustians and quiltings are in fair demand. Nan-
keens also sell readily, and are much inquired after.
STATE OF TRADE.—The depression in
business, to which we adverted last week, still continues,
particularly in the stuff manufacture, the prospects of
which are, at present, but too gloomy and disheartening.
As yet the clothiers do not complain of more than a consi-
derable dulness of demand—a circumstance which, by dis-
couraging production keeps down the price of wool, and
allows some extensive houses, who have a full command of
capital, to make goods, on terms promising a proportionate
advantage hereafter, should a resuscitation take place. In
endeavouring to ascertain the cause of the existing slack-
ness, we have learned that there is a falling off in the home
trade, which is referred to the distresses of the agricultural
classes for some time past. We, therefore, have made
some inquiries in quarters of the highest respectability,
largely concerned in the German or Baltic trade, whether
the extensive importations of grain from the Continent,
' during the late season, have not been attended with a cor-
responding enlargement of the foreign demand for our ma-
nufactures. The answer is, that this branch has sensibly
declined in the present year ; but to show that the opinion
is perfectly unbiassed by political or other feeling, we may
add, that the declension is ascribed to the stocks that had
remained on hands in Germany, &c. at the beginning of the
year, owing to the mildness of last winter. It is, never-
theless, acknowledged as a disappointment, that the ad-
mission of so much foreign produce has not been felt in the
least degree by our manufacturers; and we have the satis-
faction to mention, that this fact, coupled with the mani-
fest indisposition of the Continent to reciprocate liberality
in commerce, and aided by the conviction, that the home is,
after all, the best trade, has lately cooled the ardour of several
induential gentlemen of Leeds on the Corn question. It is
a peculiar gratification to us to believe, that some who were
among the most respectable of our opponents on this sub-
ject, a few months back, are not exactly of the same mind
now.—Leeds intelligencer.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.---Yesterday, as a
man named ',xis was in the act of shifting a large stone
from one of the newly-erected houses in Barlow-street,
near the Thames Office, the chisel lost its hold, and he was
precipitated a height of thirty feet. He was taken up
senseless, and conveyed to the Hospital, Where he now
remains in a precarious state. He was employed by
GRAINGER and How.No, stone-masons, of Gravel-lane,
Sou thwack.

SUICIDE.-About 20 minutes past two o'clock
yesterday morning, a young woman, accompanied by a
gentleman, passed through the toll-gate on the Middlesex
side of Waterloo Bridge, but it would appear they did not
proceed over the water, but stood on one of the seats talk-
ing. They had not remained long on the bridge before
some dreadful shrieks were heard by the watchman and
other persons, and the gentleman who had passed the gate
with the young woman calling loudly for assistance. The
watchman had seen a female standing on one of the benches,
and on hearing the alarm immediately proceeded to the
spot, when the gentleman informed him that a young wo-
man had precipitated herself from off the bridge into the
river. On the watchman and several others looking over
the balustrades, they distinctly saw the unfortunate woman
struggling in the water. Assistance was immediately pro-
cured, and several persons from the Police-vessel put off in
disturbed, but the rash woman had disap_
a boat, but on their arriving at the bridge they found the
