MANCHESTER, JANUARY 4.
STATE OF TRADE.
It affords us much pleasure to state, that we!
had another good market on Tuesday. If less
boitiess was done than in the preceding week, it
was owing to the determination of the manufacturers
se pave an advance on the price of their cloth, which
was obtained in almost every instance, to the amount
threepence per piece, on grey callicoes. There has
been a small advance in yarns, with a brisk demand for
the home trade. Upon the whole, the prospects of the
cotton trade Men a e,: in ast.
SEROIIOUS ACCID pecENT.
Monday. a number of poor people assembled at
Barton•upon•lrwell, at ibe door of the Overseer's office,
for the purpose of piocuring :chef. A heavy shower'
coming on, they were desired to take shelter in the
lobby of the office; btu no sooner was the lobby fiKed
than the Rooting gave way, and numbers west precipi- '
wed into the cellar, several of whom experienced con-
siderably injury, and othets had their limbs fractured.
THE WEATHER.
Tuesday evening this town was visited with a deep and
severe storm of snow, which continued for several hours,
accompanied by a strong north-westerly wind, and
drifted in see ral places to a considerable depth. All
the coact es coming to Manchester were delayed several
hours beyond their usual time. We have nut heard of say
accident occasioned by the storm.
FATAL EFFECTS OF PASSION.

Saturday night last a very melancholy occurrence
took place in Oldbam•street: a Woman named Mar-
saretWatson, who sells vegetables and oysters, having
been much annoyed and provoked by a number of boys,
who took things from her standing, and endeavoured to
knock it over, stabbed, unJer the influence of passion,
a than ntmed Robert Miller, who happened to be pase
ping by at the time, and whom she erroneously took to
be one of the aggtessots. The unfortunate man imme-
diately fell on bus face, and soon afterwards expired.
. The wound, which appears to have been inflicted
with an oyster knife, was between the first and second
rib on the tight aide, it was about one inch in length,
and one of the large arteries was divided, which de-
luged the chest with blood. The poor man has left a,'
wife and sevetal children to bewail his untimely fie.'
The wawa ap taorwho inflicted the mortal wound, has
Js large family,, and is far a.ivanced in pregnancy.
