STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 15.—There was a decidedly better
demand for yarn yesterday than on the preceding Tuesday,
and though no advance was obtained, prices were tolerably
firm. In the goods market there was a tolerable demand for
fustians, domestics, and long-cloths; but shirtings and print-
ing cloths continue much depressed.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, SEPT. 13.—The flannel
market continues good, yet not quite so many pieces have
been sold as upon former Mondays. Prices remain still very
low. There is no change in the wool market; prices are yet
firm.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, SEPT. 14.—A fair amount of
business was done to-day, yet not so much as last week. Nor
is their quite so much confidence felt in commercial stability,
partly owing to numerous failures in most parts of the
country, and the foreign demand being on the wane. The
principal demand was in middle and low priced woollens and
kerseys. In plain superfines there was more animation ; and
in light fancy goods, generally, the demand was equal to the
season. Prices are firm, and business in the warehouses
continues tolerable.

DREADFUL COLLISION AT SEL.—Late on Sunday night
last, a collision oft% most fearful character, attended with the
total loss of the schooner Surprise, a fine sailing-vessel, be-
longing to Jersey, took place in the roads of Yarmouth. It
appears that the unfortunate vessel abovementioned was
commanded by a Captain Imey, and was on her voyage to
Cadiz, having left Newcastle on the previous Thursday. On
Sunday evening she arrived off Cromar Lighthouse, and in
bearing down the Channel a violent gale came on from the
north-west, which by ten o'clock had increased to a hurri-
cane. The Surprise weathered the storm admirably, and
was making about ten miles an hour, when she was run into
by a collier brig called the Robert and Ann, belonging to
Sunderland. The collision was dreadful, the Surprise being
cut down to the water's edge, and the bows of the brig par-
tially driven in. Immediately they were disentangled, it was
discovered that the Surprise was in a sinking state, and the
crew, in the hope of running the ship on shore, took to the
pumps, which they worked vigorously for some time, but to
no purpose ; the water gained rapidly upon them, and they
were compelled to take to the longboat, and stand clear of
the vessel. In an about half an hour after she drifted on to
the Cross Sands, where she quickly became a total wreck.
The crew were picked up at daybreak by a vessel passing,
and they were safely landed. The other vessel was saved.
The cost of the Surprise is stated to be £3,000.
CLERICAL LIBERALITY TO THE WESLETANS. —WO
understand that the Rev. John Clowes, late Fellow of the
Collegiate Church in this town, having been informed that
the Wesleyan Society had purchased from his agent a piece
of land in Broughton, with the view of erecting upon it a
Wesleyan chapel, and having seen and approved the designs
for the building, has, in the most handsome manner, reduced
the price of the land, and presented to the society the sum
of fifty guineas towards the building fund.—Manchester
, Chronicle. _

On Friday week, a young married woman was killed by
being thrown out of a " swing" at Camberwell Fair. The
coroner at the inquest remarked, that this was the sixth simi-
lar accident in and near the metropolis since April last !
STEAM-COACH.—On Monday afternoon a steam-coach,
belonging to Mr. Hill, proprietor of the chemical works at
Deptford, and which has for some time past been running on
the Kentish roads, took a trip to Seven Oaks. The steam-
coach in question is 16 feet in length, weighs about four tons,
and has two engines, each of six-horse power. The cylinders
are 10 inches in diameter, with 18 inches stroke, and the
engine works at between 601bs and 701bs to the square inch.
At 31 minutes after one o'clock the steam was announced to
be "up," and Mr. Hill, who managed the machine, pro-
ceeded to thread the mazy ins and outs which lead from his
factory to the Deptford main road, stopping, starting, and
guiding the vehicle with great precision and facility. The
speed was, on some portions of the level road, upwards of
twenty-one miles per hour, and the only apparent difficulty
was where the ascent presented a loose sandy soil. The
consumption of coke is a top per 100 miles, and the cost of
a steam-coach of this description was stated to be £BOO.—
Morning Herald.
DEER STALKING.—Our sportsmen, generally, this sea-

son, seem to have been pretty successful in capturing that
noblest of game—deer. On Thursday, Glenmorriston's
party killed a fine stag, weighing 16 stones. On Friday,
maugre the bad weather, two stags were shot by the seine
party—one of 20, and the othe; 24 stones ; and a good roe-
buck was also added to the spoil. At Lochindorb, Mr.
Oliver killeda stag of 18 stones. In Calrossie Wood, Mr.
George Ross, younger, of Cromarty, shot a fine red deer;
14 red deer were seen by the beaters; but, with the above
exception, they were out of the range of shot. At Inver-
garry, Lord Ward and the Marquis of Blandford have been
bagging daily from 100 to 200 brace of grouse, besides roe-
deer and black game.—lneerness paper.
