Mary Ann Mordauut examined.—Deceased was her
sister, and expired suddenly during her absence on the
18th instant. Deceased, witness, and their mother lived
together at 93, Crawford-street. Witness went out to
needlework 4n the morning of the 18th, leaving her
sister in bed, and upon her return in the afternoon found
her dead. They had wither a sufficiency of food, clothes,
nor firing. Witness sometimes earned 35., et other times
25., and Is. a week. Her mother had 2s. 6d. a week from
the parish, out of which they paid 2s. 3d. a week rent.
By the Coroner.—They were totally starved. Ber sister
who had been for months unable to work, occasionally
earned sixpence a week. They sometimes got a loaf of
bread from the workhouse. On one occasion Mr. Mer-
son, the relieving officer, said to her, " Mind, I have done
with you ; no more relief will be granted you." That
fretted her much. On another occasion her deceased
sister, after having been kept waiting at the workhouse
from 9 a. m. to five p. m., wa, sent away ut,relieved. She
told the workhouse authorities they were starving ; but
the authorities refused any further relief unless they went
into the workhouse. Since Friday last no one called upon
them from the workhouse, nor did they receive any relief
from it.

Mr. Harding, surgeon, detailed the result of the post
mor tem examination, which distinctly proved that de-
ceased died from starvation,
Mr. Merson, with several other parochial officers, stated,
that they had acted in compliance with the regulations 01
the workhouse.

The jury, after I-Elf an hour's absence, handed to the
coroner the following verdict :—" That the death of de'
ceased was caused by the want of the commonest necesso'
ries of life, and that they regretted that the parochial
authorities of the parish of Marylehone had not evinee,,
sufficient diligence in scrutinising the wants of deceased•
The foreman said that they equally regretted that the
authorities had paid no attention to the wants of de'
ceaQed's family since last Friday, although on that dal
their attention was particularly directed to their destitute
condition by the coroner and jury.

STATE OF TR..kI)E

MANCIIESTER.—We have little alter tion to notice in the state
of our market, the depression under which it has laboured for
the last three weeks still continuing; and from the present ac-
cumulation of stocks, we see little chance of an amendment
before Christmas. unless the system of short time in mills shall
be more generally adopted, or an increased demand, whicbci
however, we are scarcely sanguine enou h to anticipate, shot),
arise. Generally speaking, the prices of both yarn and g(lod_s
~
have had a down,: ard tendency, and in some few cases, loW.'
prices than our quotations may have been submitted to, but in
these instances the sales have not been effected by the larget
manufacturers, who of course are better able to hold their stock'
than those of more limited capital. Although the accounts hi
the Indian mail have given a favourable report of the sales °e
yarn, still we note no improvement in the demand here.

RocHDALE.—We have had a dull market to-d,y,per
andl there
no prospect of any improvement. Prices remain as last MI:
day. There is nothing to notice in the state of the wool market'
LEEDS.—Our markets have been but thinly attended %'OO

.
buyers this week and the stocks of goods on hand are on ti;
increase. The manufacturers are but partially employed e
tl)
,any insta^- but • th-

m<_ c 05.... in ~ners Aey are well employed in
goods (for which orders have boon given) adapted for the Arne
13
rican spring trade. Some purchases have alio en made ~.1„
thin goods for the China and East India markets. Upon tri,
whole, we do not think our trade is mucaworse than it usual 'e
is at this period of the year, but hopes seem to he less sanguitt

than they were a short time, as to any speedy improvement.
_,
HECHMONDWIRE.—There was a good attendance of buyers
the blanket market this week, and a pretty good business don"
but without alteration in prices.
BRADFORD.—The settlement of long pending unhappy difefe
ences between the woolcombers and their employers in the
Keighley district, caused more lookers in the ear!), part of the
week, but we have not heard of any extended operations.
supply of Wool in the market generally is a full average fort
time of the year, but not g 0 abundant as two months ar
Noils and Shorts are dull of sale, and late prices barely sur
ported.—The demand for Yarns tor home consumption keel):
very steady, but the absence of the export houses ceases grOvi
dulness. The present market price of Yarns is so much belo
d
the costof producing them, that spinners generally have adopt,
~
the expedient of working short time. There is an evident slug,
ness in the Piece mark t, and the manufacturers have greug
reason to complain. Prices are extremely low, but their steed,
are by no means heavy. Heavy and double worsted warp V°
are slightly improved in demand, but prices are no higher. 10
HUDDERSFIELD.—We do not expect to have any change •
our market before the new year. This week we have bad
.101
very flat one. There are, however, indications of a heal`
state of things in spring.
llALIFAx.—This week a rather better feeling has been nis pid
tested in the Hall, but not many more goods have gone off, sill
prices continue unimproved. The sales have been princiPsip
in fancy goods for the American market, and the prospects!),
that quarter rue more cheering. The demand for Yarn is
corn.ng more and more limited, and the spinners are more ?
more lessening their production. In the Wool market spin!' 0.
are very cautious buyers, and prices remain without alterative
In Short Wools but little is doing, and prices are firm, as
stocks in the hands of the staplers are light.
LEICESTER.—There is no improvement in the demand si
cur last report. Every one is acting with great caution; fete
chant, dealer, and manufacturer confine their purchases,"
present wants. The greet and continued fall in the eitehart,
during the last two months will, it is feared, lead to en nicell*
tion in the valve of rn,ney, which will be attended with resvit,
prejudicial to trade. There is but little doing in Wool. 1.",00
is no alterat on in the va ue of Yarn ; the spinners cola'
that the demand is dull. j 0
