SUICIDE OF MR. AND MRS. BA.ILKAII, AT KILMARNOCK. (Frost the Biresieghavi Advertiser. )  In our lest page, under the head of 0 Scotland," we have given full particulars of the determined suicide of two persons unknown at the place where they committed the fatal act of aelf•destruae tion. There being good reason to suppose that the parties were from this neighbourhood, we made every possible inquiry on the subject, and discovered on Monday last that they were in slfh, probability old inhabitants of Birmingham. Under these dry cumstances we felt it our duty to prosecute the inquiries f Mier, and are now enabled to lay the following particulars bef our readers:—The deceased, Mr. Joseph Barker, was sixty. One years of age. his wife was somewhat younger. They re. sided, previous to leaving Birmingham, at No. 54, Vittoria Street, Mr. Barker was born at Preston in Lancashire,. from town he married for his second wife the partner of his romantie but melancholy exit. He bad xesided in Manchester, London, Malta, and several parts of the continent, being M one time most extensively engaged in business as a foreign merchant. At the burning of Moscow he estimated his loss at £400,000; from that time his fortunes were reversed. His first wife died on board a ship. His only child, aeon, on whose memori he appeared te-dote, also died when 21 years of age. Six years age he entered the service of Mr. Samuel Hampton, floor-cloth-manisfacturer, Constitutionhill, where he remained as chief clerk and traveller until May last, when he entered into partnership with Mr. James Archer, who had also been with Mr. Hempson sod the firm was opened is Bummer-lane, as James Archer & do., table-cloth-manufacturers. In the arrangements there was nothing to disturb the equanimity of his proverbially even temper. He appeared on excellent terms with all around him ; and when, two months ago, he left home,* he alleged to his partner, on a 'hit to Manchester, there walk nothing to indicate the fearful resolve to which subsequent air: cumstances lead us to suppose he had made up his mind. Om leaving their house they told the servant girl they were going te see a relation at a distanee, and should be back In eight or oho days. When he parteorom Mr. Archer he shook hands heartily,' saying, "God bless you, Archer;" and it was observed by bin, Archer that he turs‘d away and seemed affected.

The Vice-Chancellor replies "that the plenipotentiaries of Austria and Prussia may meet him at St Petersburg, awl consign the COIMIIOII resolutions adopted in the form of protocols or of a treaty, or in any other shape considered desirable. The basis of the proposed discussions would be the six points, which contain nothing in principle contrary to the policy of Vie Emperor. France an l Eogland would lie enabled by an official communication of the acts resulting from the deliberation of the restricted conference, which would contain the practical adaptation of the six points to appreciate the conformity of thwie acts with the spirit awl the text of the treaty of Vienna."

STATE OF TRADE.  MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.—The improvement in the general tone of this msrket which commenced last week has continued without intermission; and to-day the transactions have been to a greater ettent in many departments. Prices, both of goods and yarns, exhibit an improvement ;—in the former, the full previous quotation, are asked, and more easily obtained,- and for some aorta a slight advance. Yarns are generally name to buy, and for smile numbers an advance of per 'pound is demanded, and readily conceded. The proinb. lug accounts of the harvest are exercising a most beneficad effect upon the home trade, the houses engaged in which are coidinencing active operations; all kinds of gouda imitable to their ri quirements In big in extended demand. The Greek houses have been sonic% hat inure in the market this we k ; and, although their operations are still contracted, there is more disposition to purchase at the rates asked than was the ease last week. In yarn, the demand for India is more contracted. A fair business has been done for China, and an advance of ed. is established for ) arils suitable for that quarter. The German houses are doing somewhat more, but their transactions are still ow • very ooutracted scale. A pretty fair business has been done for the Mediterranean markets, and the home nanuta,turers, to supply their requirements, are necessitated lo concede higher rates. The improvement In the attitude of commercial affairs has induced an increase in production, and we hear from several of the neighbouring towns that the milks are commencing to work full time. This appears to be especially the case at Stockport, and at Bury several of the trades are experiencing the benefits of a revival of confidence. In Manchester the returns also show an Improvement, although to no great extent.  Melancholy Suicide.—About half-past eight o'clock on Monday night, a female was observed by a girl to throw herself from the parapet of Garngad Briage into the canal. The alarm was immediately given, and hi a very short space of time aid was procured- and the body of the unfortunate woman was got out of water. Medical assistance having been obtained, strenuous attempts were made to ' restore animation, but they all proved fruitless, and the body was carried to the Central Police Buildings, where it was identified in the course of the evening. Greenock.—The postponement of the consideration of the new Sugar Duties till Monday afforded holders an opportunity of liberating their stocks of foreign at the rates of i duty upon the faith of which their operations had been %&,vtaken, and freely have they availed themselves of the permission in all the porta of the kingdom.
