THE WOOLLEN TP.ADE.

LIP A x, Saturday.—There was so little doing, that it would
be impossible to report the real state of the market. Still lower
prices were not acceded to, we think, for any description of

LEEDS, Tuesday.—We have still to state that, with a con-
tinued brisk demand for every description of cloth, both finished
and' unfinished, yet that prices do not improve.
HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.—We have not had so good a
market in respect of sales for many weeks, and this remark-ap-
plies to every description org,oods.
BRADFORD, Thtirsday.—Piece Market. —The trade to-day
was fair in point of business, but by no means satisfactory as to
prices. The manufacturers again attempted a further advance,
—Yarns: the spinners to-day again succeeded in obtaining a
further advance on all descriptions of yard with a fair business
doing.,-Wools: There has been no change this week in prices
•of any kind of wool.

SHOCKING OCCCIIRP.NCE.—On Saturlay morning, as a country
man was bringing a cow. from Goosnargh to Preston, the ani-
'mat on approaching towards the. town became quite furious. and
ran at many persons. A woman was slightly injured in the
thigh, by the infuriated' beast; and a poor irishman was so
dreadfully gored as to cause his death almost. immediately,—

SHOCKING ACODENT.—An inquest was,. held at Padiham,
on Friday last, on the body of John Lawson, a young man
about twentv-two years of age. The deceased was-employed by
hiS brother 'Christopher Lawson, at the Padiham Corn Mill,
and was assisting others to set. the water-wheel at liberty, it
being frozen fast, when the spur-wheel started, and the deceased
was caught and crushed between one of the arms and a wooden
trough. He was carried through a space of three inches. He
was then thrown &own a hole upon the stone bed, a depth of
about three yards. The unfortunate man lingered several days,
when death ,terminated his suffering. Verdict, " Accidental
death."—Blackburn Standard.
MIXED AND BEST FORM DE GOVER NNIENT.—" I guess, said
Jonathan Downing, writing trom Canton to his uncle in Ame-
rica,--‘, I guess there really be two sorts of good government
in the nature of things : bamboo. as in China, and, bamboozle, as
in the Old Countrt. But we in the United States use 'em
both; and ours is the grandest gOvernment in the universe—
bamboo for the niggers, and bamboozle for ourselves."
