NOXIOUS• RESULTS- FROM ASH-PITS OVERFLOWING.

At Windsor, in the notoriously bad scavengeQHard-
ing-street, a cout t was visited by us, the health of the resi-
dents in which was jeopardised by an overflowing ashpit.
The door was open because it could not be closed, the
contents of the place spreading themselves over the yard.
It had, been in this condition for a month past. One
party was ill and complained loudly of the nuisance, to
which he attributed his illness—be said the rent collectors
had promised to see to it. The court was peculiarly dis-
advantaged inasmuch as it presented a double cul de sac
form, whereby ventilation for the dilution of the noxious
gases was rendered impossible. The entrance was through
one of the usual cramped archways—the length of.,tbe
court yard was seven yards—it contained four houses.
It was flagged. Many of the retraces and courts in this
street have their ashpits full to excess, and in numerous
instances the cellars adjoining are more or less flooded
thereby. One deserted cellar was said to have its floor
overflowed, where some time back an illicit whiskey still
had been found out.

Tenants have to empty these cellars to preserve them
in anything like utility.
In one cellar, eight or ten months ago, which was damp
from ash pit overflow, three children living over the. cellar
had been taken ill at once, and one died.
We happened to meet a landlord of about twenty houses
at one end of the street, of the name of Ward. He vo-
lunteered a statement to us that he was ready to do, all he
could for the well-being and comfort of his tenants—be
had done what he could—he was ready to meet the au-
thorities half way in any improvements, and would gladly,
for that end, enter into any bond or agreement. This is
highly creditable to him, and it were to be wished.that so
proper a feeling were responded to more generally.
Another landlord in Barton-lane had adopted some im-
provements on behalf of his tenants, which is praise.-
worthy, and I quote these instances with great pleasure.
as lights amongst the gloomy shadows of landlordism-
Yet in Barton-lane some ashpits are evidently obnoxiouts.
to undue accumulation, and from the escape into them of
other ashpits in the rear of Harding-street.
A general system of draining is greatly wanted for
Harding-street, Barton-lane, &c. and unless the authori-
ties turn their attention to it in eavnest, the occurrence of
preventible sickness and its mortality per centage. will
continue to disgrace this unhappy suburb proper of badly
pre-eminent Liverpool.—Yours,
Bedford-Oreet. G. C. WATSON.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER.—There Is no alteration to be meted in the
pr ces c t our staple here since our report of last week, al-
though business has been more general and steady. and a very.
fair amount done, printing cloths having the call,. It is, in-
deed, expected that these fabrics will go higher than they are at
present ranging. The diminution of production which the
resolutions of the Blackburn, Stockport. and other spinners, to
work short time, will cause, will have its effect in creating this
result. The Yarn market is without change, An.error, whose
very magnitude was its own correction, occurred in our last
week's publication, where, ny a typcgraplaieal mistake, we were
made to say Yarns had fallen in price ‘• is sd to Is 4d per lb,"
instead of •• id to id per lb." For prices, we refer to our last
week's quotations

RoctinALE.—We have had some little improvement iu the
demand for Flannels to-, ay, but no change in prices. The
Wool market is much the same as that of the previous week.
LEEDS - The Woollen trade continues pretty brisk, and stocks
are low. A fair average business has been done this week, and
the general tone of trade ti ans.ctions is good,. prices remaining
steady, with a f it demand for goods, both for the home and
foreign market.

BARNSLEY.—The Linen trade continues fiat, but the (ant?
drill houses are just beginning to give out more work, and we
understand that a good season is anticipated.
BRAnroavOnr trade has exhibited no features of chant's

this week. The demand for both the raw materialand maow
factored g ods is better than it was a few weeks ago. The
stocks of piece goods are diminishing, and a good winter trade
is anticipated. Worsted Xarns are in good demand, both for
the home arid the foreign trade; and notice of a speedy advance
of prices has been given to those power. loom houses who buy
fur monthly delivery. Wools sell freely, at firm prices.
HUDDERSFIBLD.—We bad only an indifferent market, for
which we cannot account, unless it is that the autumn trace i°
setting in later than it does generally. New styles in fancy
goods, however, continue to be bought up as freely as ever•
There is also a fair demand for kerseys and heavy goed9
generally.

LiticasrEtt.—There is no alteration worthy of notice sill
last week in the state of the demand. There is a fair amour,
of business doing in the warehouses. The alteration, or ratite;
lowering of the American tariff, is likely to lead to extend
trade in that quarter. The Wool market is firm, and prices sr!
fu ly supported. Wether skin Wools, short Wools, and ft"'
tegg Wools are most in demand.
Normonmo.—The condition of the cotton hosiery trad?
which had seemed for a moment to, rally, has again given W%i
and we hear little e se in the town than complaints of want
employment. The cut-up hose branch is, if anything, in rather
_
a better condition. The cotton glove trade has met with a 014
siderable re-reverse. and many of the hands are once more sbo
of employment. It is quite painful to advert to the silk riove
.
branch, which seems to be in a most lamentable conditt_ldi
The fancy bobbin net trade is still in a very low conditioth,"'
