STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 16.—We
can merely this week confirm our last report : the de-
mand continues limited, the manufacturers suiting
their purchases to their present inconsiderable wants.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 16.Ther e
is little or no variation in our wool market this 'week.
On the one hand, stocks are light in the market, and
on the other, the demand for all descriptions is ex-
ceedingly languid, and prices are barely sustained.
TRADE or LEEDS.—There has been no improve-
ment in our cloth markets this week, on comparison
with the markets of last month. The demand still
continues very dull for cloths of fine and middle qua.
lities : the principal articles which are selling are
heaver cloths, heavy tweeds, and fancy cloakings.
Pilot cloths continue to be less in demand this season
than usual. Business has been a little better in the
warehouses this week, and as the drapers are begin-
ning to make their purchases for the winter, there is
some probability that trade generally will be better
during the next two months than it has been for some
time past.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—We have had a
full attendance of merchants in the Piece market, and
more business has been done than last week. Both
plain and fancy goods are in demand, and of neither
description is the market very abundantly supplied.
The manufacturers, however, will do well to exercise
caution, and not produce any goods for stock, or they
may suffer a repetition of what many have felt in
former times, and which it is always policy to avoid.
We learn that the demand for yarns continues steady,
chiefly for home consumption and the De Laine trade.
The shippers are hardly doing as much as is usual at
this season. Prices steady. There is a good supply
of all kinds of wool in the market, and the staplers
complain greatly at the prices offered by the spinners,
which are not commensurate with the rates demanded
by the growers ; consequently rather less than an
average is done.—Leeds Mercury.

The Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry has derived
much benefit from the marine baths at Ramsgate, where
his Lordship has been staying some weeks,

t ATTEMPT .TO MURDER. AT A-
MARRIAGE FEAST.
Guillaume Bour!em was charged with having at-
tempted the life of Jean Laborie. The crime with
winch the prisonerstoodcharged was committed wider
extraordinary circumstances :-
Jean Laborie, a farmer, aged 25, resided at Nig.
relat, in the commune of Cussac, with Catherine.
Laborie, his sister, and the prisoner, his brother-in-
law. Bourbon managed the affairs, and received the
monies. He had also acted as tutor to his brother-.
in-law. For the last two years Jean Laborie had
been paying his addresses to a young woman named
Marguerite Merle ; and it was believed that the union
would combine all the convenances of both age and
fortune. The prisoner, however, did everything in
his power to prevent, or at least to retard the match,
and" employed a person to endeavour to turn Laborie
from his project. In this feeling of opposition it ap-
peared that he had two motives-one of hatred, and
the other of cupidity. He had, in fact, an inimical
feeling towards Merle, the girl's father, by whom he.
fancied he had been wronged; and he feared th
after the marriage Laborie would be induced by bil
~,,
father-in-law to ask for .a division of property. He I
had been heard to say, in reference to the affair--
" If that bete marries the girl Merle I shall have to
sell two cows ; and if he does so he shall pay for it."
The opposition of the prisoner was, however,
futile. The projected marriage was almost concluded
and on the sth of May the two families, accompanied"
by some mutual friends, repaired to Cussac for the
purpose of concluding the contract. Bourbon went
also, but took no part in the business of the day. '
keeping by himself, and confining his remarks to ex-
pressions of discontent. In a fit of excitement, at a
public-house, he dashed a glass down upon the table--
They will marry, will they ? Well, I will give.
them nothing; 11l go to law first."
The contract was, however, completed; the two -.
families returned home to the village, and assembles` '
at a friend's house for the purpose of passing the'
evening with a dance. During the time the lovers
and their friends were thus en oying themselves, a
repast was being prepared at the house of Merle,
the father of the intended bride. Ten o'clock Was
the hour fixed for sitting down to supper. Bourbon,
however, had not arrived, although he had been in-, ,
vited. He had, in fact, said to some person that if he ;,
came it should not be for nothing. In order ta,:
overcome his unpleasant feelings a friend named:,
Morange was sent again to ask him to come, but coal°. :
get no answer at the house, and returned to the parti,
thinking that Bourbon must have retired to bed. Ile '
then found that the repast was served. upon a large _
bin or trough in the place of a table. This NNss''
placed near the fireplace in a large room, which com-
municated by a secret door with an adjacent barn,
The guests, seven in number, sat down. Four sat on
the opposite side near the stove-namely, the intended,
bride and her affianced husband, her father and
brother. Opposite them, a little to the right, was
the door which communicated with the barn ; on the
other side of the.table, and immediately opposite the
lovers, sat Morange, another friend named Barriere,
and the musician, having their backs turned towards
the door. The party had scarcely taken their seats
when it opened. They thought that Bourbon was
coming, and turned their ,faces that way ; no one wt's
to be seen, but the next moment the report of a go,
was heard, and the right side of poor Laborie's beau t!
received nearly the whole charge of the weapon. ife
fell forward upon the table, bathing the cloth 'xi"
his blood.
Two shots out of the whole charge only appeared
to have escaped him; one of these struck Marguerlil
Merle, and the other Morange, the friend who ha"'
gone out to invite the assassin to the feast. The latter,
although only slightly wounded, received such a
shock that he fell upon the floor. Taking advantage
of the scene of confusion which followed his act, the
assassin fled; but he had been seen and recognised 1:1
two witnesses in his flight.
A third witness had seen the prisoner enter his '.
house the instant after the murderous act had been
committed.
Poor Laborie, it was thought, must have sunk
under the effects of the wound, had he not had: a very
fine constitution, which enabled him to recover the
shock. As it is, he has lost his right eye, i.nd'has re;
ceived other injuries, which he will suffer from a :
the
long as he lives.
The Jury found a verdict of 3 uilty against - `'prisoner but without premeditation; and the Court
sentenced him to hard labour for life.
