STATE OF TRADE.  (From, the ilancheststr Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, June 28.—The cloth market is without sliatige. The demand from the printers and the home -trade houses continues to be steady ; but shippers are still holding back from business, for the reasons that influenced them last week. Manufacturers, however, are indifferent about taking orders ; and the prices of last week are therefore firmly maintained. The spinners of Indian mule twist, like the makers of India goods, though doing extremely little in the usual channel, Are yet very steady in price, partly because they are, to borne extent, able to sell in other quarters. For 30's water in the bundle, there is a better demand than for 16's to 21's, which feel the absence of the China demand ; there is consequently greater stiffness in the former than in the latter. Yarns for domestics, say lti's to 18's warps, and 16's to 20's pin-cops, are found more difficult to purchase than they were a week ago ; the better qualities have gained about ,14d. per lb. ; and this is causing the makers of those fabrics (who fer some time back have had a losing trade) to harden in their terms. Tint producers of 28's and 32's throstle warps are also inclined to harden in price, because of the call there is for those articles. Yarns suitable for the Blackburn market were steady. Various counts of doubled yarns are rather higher; as are also some counts of single, suitable for Russia. On the whole, the American advices, which give difkrent accounts of the weather from different parts, have a tendency to sustain the price of cotton ; and the firmness of this article tells upon yarns and goods. In regard to the weather on the other side, the following extract from the circular of a most respectable firm, at Now Orleans, is deserving of notice :—" There are still some complaints of the growing crop, but they do not appear to us to be worthy of much notice ; sonic, the larger portion, complain of cold and drought ; others, of superabundance of rain ; but we cannot see any well-grounded complaints proceeding from planters whc have sufficient force to take care of their crops." It appears that the operatives at Blackburn who left their employment last week did so before the expiration of the notice that had bean given ; and finding that they had thus acted illegally, they have resumed work for the required time. In this city the hands in one considerable weaving establishment have turned out. We understand that a preliminary meeting of millowners from different localities has been held in Manchester to-day, with a view to a general concert under existing circumstances. HALrras, June 25.—The uncertain state of foreign politics has a tendency to check operations both in yarns and in manufactured goods ; and most persons are limiting their transactions. Wool is quiet and rather easy to buy. ROCILIDALE, June 27.—There has been a rather thin attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and a less amount of business transacted than on the preceding Monday. Coarse goods have been principally inquired after, while those of a finer quality have been less in demand. Low-priced English wool continues scarce, and anything under 17d. per lb. meets a ready purchaser ; but wools above that price are rather lower, and more difficult to sell.  ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND MURDER —A woman named Revill attempted to destroy herself and infant child, on Monday last, in Plymstock, near Radford /louse, where twhheircehisisa. pond of water called the Middle or Fish Pond, part bounded by the coach road, near the lawn.
