STATE OF TRADE.—Our market of Tuesday was less lively than we have noticed it for several weeks. There was not, however, any decline in prices; on  • the contrary, there seemed a. determination, on the part of some of the spinners, to obtain an advance ; upon the whole, we believe the price of yarn may be quoted the same as last week. The decline in the demand for that article may undoubtedly be attributed principally to the completion of the orders from Russia, which generally produces a stillness at:this season. The demand for yarn for our own manufactures is not at all abated, but rather on the increase. There were fewer inquiries for goods than for yarns, and the market in them was decidedly dull. We have not, however, heard of any reduction in price. The %a es of weaving continue the same, and if the market should continue inactive, the prospects of the poor weavers will become, as winter approaches, exceedingly distressing.—Manehester Herald. The workmen of several of the principal cotton mills in this vicinity have received warning of the intention of the proprietors to make a reduction of one farthing on the rates paid for cotton-spinning. The rates inpaid to the power-loom-weavers and dressers have some instances undergone a reduction of about a third.--Greenock Advertiser.  It is with great pleasure we can state, that our accounts from all parts of the manufacturing districts are in one strain,---all showing that there is a great and growing inprovement in the state of trade. The Rochdale Relief Committee have suspended their operations solely on account of this fortunate turn of affairs, having still, after expending nearly 9000 pounds, a balance of six hundred in hand. The new road from the same place to Burnley will also employ a great portion of the surplus population. Six thousand pounds have been lent by the Exchequer Loan Office for the purpose of carrying it on, to which 2000 more have been added, as a gift, by the London Relief Committee. Between four and five hundred weavers ere already at work upon it, clearing the ground and breaking the stone. The whole is under the superintendance of MT. M' Adam L" tverpool Courier. One of Mr. Denovatt's welled smacks arrived itt the roads on MondaT, with a cargo of fine fish, actually caught beyond Cape Wrath, in the Atlantic Ocean. They are now brought, 44 alive" daily to all the three and delivered in Edinburgh markets, the same state at the principal hotels. A person skilled in culinar matters, in whose hands we Navy a large cod of this Lake, spoke in rapturous term of the flee condition of the fish.----Scotsman. MAJOR LAiNG.--A letter from Algiers, dated 6th September, says—,4 We have heard tim Tripoli, that a strong report---nay, almost an authenticated one— had arrived there of poor Major Lailig, and all his 'party, having been murdered by one of the tribes in the desert called Twenties. What a melancholy eatastrophe, if truer He married the Consult, Warrington's) daughter the day before . he seoff ya Bias expedition." As the last accounts of Major Laing (AMC through Tripoli, which has much more frequent communications with central Africa than Algiers possesses, and as these accounts announced his arrival near Timbuetoo, where the dangers from the tribes of the desert would nearly cease, we are strongly disposed to believe that this report is unfounded.—Scotsman.
