STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—AIthough there was a considerable ap-
pearance of inquiry for yarn yesterday morning, the business
done was to a very limited extent, and at prices generally be-
low those of the preceding week, especially in 40's mule,
which were much depressed. For goods of all descriptions
the demand was very limited, and prices• of almost all de-
th..ulettly zlilt .trurvi cal
downwards. From the general absence of demand, and the
want of remunerating prices, many spinners and manufactu-
rers are again talking of working short time ; and the proba-
bility is, that, unless some unforeseen improvement should
arise, a large number of mills in, the neighbourhood will be
worked only during the hours of daylight for a considerable
part of the coming winter.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY.—There has
been little change in the market to-day, perhaps not so many
goods as on the preceding Monday; but there is no altera-
tion in the prices. The wool market has been heavy at for-
mer prices.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY.—We are not able
to report so good a market to-day as last week, a general un-
certainty and want of confidence being felt, which prevented
many sales ; and we have reason to state, that in many cases
goods were sold at a sacrifice. The news from America, the
state of the ,money market, and the absence of some large
buyers, produced an unfavourable effect. In new goods,
prices are tolerably steady ; but in old styles and superfines,
cost price cannot be realised. Much depends on the weather;
and now that we are favoured in that respect, hopes are en-
tertained that a short time will witness a beneficial change.
During the week, an average business has been done in the
warehouses. Work is not quite so plentiful, and some firms
are working short hours.—Manchester Guardian.
BLaexiruas.--During the past treek the trade has pre-
sented the same gloomy aspect, which has marked it for se-
veral weeks in succession ; and notwithstanding the favoura-
ble tendency of the recent fine weather, all the operations of
business are decidedly against both the spinner and the 1
manufacturer.—Blackburn Standard.

The number of entries of vessels into the Danube during
1838 was 1841, as we are informed, from Odessa; the num-

Repeated trials were made at the camp of Fontaineblan of
M. Delvigne's fusils, which fire hollow shot that explode on
reaching their object, and have proved to be capable of setting
fire to a caisson of powder at a considerable distance.
A new system of sweeping the streets by means of a ma-
chine was tried on Friday at the Barriere des Fourneaux, in
presence of a committee appointed by the Municipal Council
of Paris. M. Arago was one of the commissioners. The
experiment is said to have succeeded.—Capitole.
ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, Mr. James Frewin, publi-
can, of Chester, was thrown out of a gig, near to Rosset-
green, on his return from Wrexham races, and had his leg
rather badly fractured. His numerous friends of the whip
will be gratified to learn that he is doing well.--Chester
Courant. ,

The Carlow paper says, on good authority, that Captain
Gleeson intends to establish a public journal, of which the
Hon. Frederick Cavendish will be the editor, and that Cas-

LYNCH LAW IN AMERICA.—The murderers of the Wright
family in Arkansas have been taken, and most 'atrociously
hung by a mob without trial.

the Lord Bishop.of Bangor, and the Rev. the Warden of

Chester Gazette. -
CHESTER' FAIR.—Our great annual October fair .
took place yesterday. The 'supply of this staple article was,,
not so good as was anticipated. common sorts fetched from
535. to 58s. per cwt. and prime Cheshire from 665. to 70s.
Buyers were numerous, and the sales were brisk. •
SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.—A gentleman who resides
about ten miles from Battle, went out last week with the in-
tention of bagging a little game, hut found that he could not
conveniently carry home all he shot, as he unexpectedly found
three sheep had received the contents of his gun, It is only
fair to say that he immediately paid for them.—Suseex
Express.

The salt trade, we are informed, has not been so depressed
as at this time for some years. This is not attributed to any
falling off in the regular sales at Liverpool, but the wind ha-
ving been nearly in one point ,for a leng,th of time has re-
tarded the arrival of ships in port, which part freight, for
their voyage back with that article, at this season of the year.
Chester Courant.

. THE " PRESS" AT kt.G.LINTOUN.—A stout baillie from
Glasgow not being able to obtain a place at the Eglintoun
tournament, demanded from the attendant permission to en-
ter the reporter's gallery, as the editor of the Lochnzaben
and Iceland Journal. The gentleman was bowed into the
best seat on the ground with all the ceremony due to a func-
tionary connected with so distinguished a periodical.
PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—We are enabled to state
that active measures are in progress for the establishment of
a Protestant Association in Macclesfield. It is not intended
to confine it to any political party or any religious body. Its
rules and objects will equally admit whig and tory, church-
men and dissenters ; its end and aim will be to oppose the
further spread of popery; its motto—" No peace with Rome."
—Macclesfield Courier.
THE REGISTRATION.—This "glorious uncertainty of the
law," one of the chief objects for which the act was framed,
keeps alive a wholesome spirit of agitation, calculated to
bring parties into collision, and prevent them from slumber-
ing in that peace which is so distastebl to the liberals. It
establishes a sort of political lottery, making men's rights
and privileges the stakes, the disposal of which is regulated
according to the doctrine of chances.
