moNET M.rIRKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are satisfactory. During the past week a fair atnonnt of business has been done, and in some few instances a higher scale of prices has been current. At Leeds there had been a regular de mand for seasonable goods, and in the various warehouses and cloth halls ,some activity had pre vailed. Most of the manufacturers of the districts are well employed on fabrics for the spring trade, and the operatives generally are working full time. At Bradford the transac tions in piece goods have been to about an average extent. Prices in most instances are well sup- Ported. Stocks of goods are generally light, and manufacturers are reluctant to enter into fresh con signments at present rates. At Manchester more firmness has been apparent, and cloths suited to the India and China markets have been in extra de mand. For the home trade there is a moderate in quiry, and the prices of all descriptions of cloths have an upward tendency. Business at Leicester is in a very satisfactory state, and for foreign goods of all descriptions there is an active inquiry. Yarns have shown no material alteration. The lace trade at Nottingham has been moderately active, plain goods realising fully late quotations. The iron trade in South Staffordshire continues to improve. There has been some inquiry for rails for the Norwegian Government. In the various trades of Birmingham and its neighbourhood a steady iraprovement is reported, some rather extensive orders from the United States having been received. The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the nine months ending the 30th Septem ber have been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of all the exports from the United Kingdom during that period has been £ 86 ,310,329 against £97,735,592 in the like period of 1857, showing falling off of £9,425,263. The decrease is perceptible in coals and culm, earthenware, haberdashery, and millinery, hard- Ware and cutlery, linen manufactures, metals, silk manufactures, British spirits, woollen and Worsted cloths, sheep and lambs' wool, and woollen and worsted yarn. The imports of the principal articles have been larger as regards cocoa, coffee, Wheat, Indian corn, flour, rum, cottpn, fruit, guano, saltpetre, spices, nnrefined sugar, and tea, while there is a diminution in live animals, barley, oats, flax provisions, tallow, timber, wine, and sheeps' and lambs wool. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in . the F ore i gn trade of the United I( lngdom for the nine months of 96;434 tons for tile entries inward, but there is a decrease of 180 ,311 tons in the clearances outward. In the decr ease e°as ting trad e f or th e lik e per i od there has b een a in the tonnage employed both for the en tries inward and the clearances outward. the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, a fair amount of business was transacted at full The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. b- e Railway Share Market closed quietly at about the Royal Mail Steam Company, the profits of the a.,.lilear to 30th June were £124,648, from which a c uvidend o f £ 2 per share is recommended. , demand for money continues very quiet, and 'e.general position of the market consequently re unchanged.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING CASE-FREEMAN V. ROUTELL. This was an action brought to recover a stun of money as a half share in some commission, arising out of a trans action in connection with the ship Wigram. Mr. Kearsey appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Dobson for defendant. From the evidence of plaintiff it appeared that he was at one time a captain in the merchant service, and now managed an Australian line of packets. Defendant was a shipbroker, and plaintiff first became acquainted with him at the shipping office where defendant was a clerk. In last year defendant met plaintiff at the Royal Egchange, and, after a conversation, it was agreed that if plaintiff could find a ship, defendant was to find a cargo, and the commission was to be divided—that is, each was to have half. That commission was estimated at £6O, and de fendant had received that sum, but he paid back £5 on Saturday last, as received in excess. He (plaintiff) had only had £lO 10s. from defendant, and he contended that he should have been paid as soon as defendant received the commission from the owners of the vessel. For the defence it was urged that plaintiff was only en titled to one-third of the commission, and that it was neither imperative nor usual to settle these matters between plaintiff and defendant until the ship's accounts were de facto arranged, or, on the contrary, as defendant had re • ceived sums of money on account of commission ; if, as in the present instance, he had done so in excess, he could be compelled to return it. Plaintiff—Then you had a claim upon me. His Honour said, from his knowledge of these affairs, he believed it was usual to divide as soon as any money was received on account of commission. Mr. Kearsey said that was so, and Captain Freeman was a respectable man, upon whom defendant could at any time come. Plaintiff was then asked by his Honour if he was sure that he on every occasion told defendant he wanted his half of the commission ? Several witnesses were called, but their evidence threw no light upon the subject beyond the fact that defendant received £54 18s. For the defence, it was urged that defendant had only agreed to give plaintiff one=third, and that Messrs. Denny and Co., who owned the ship, would have one-third. Defendant, who told a very rambling story, and made several statements contradictory of the evidence given by plaintiff and his witnesses, stated that he told Capt. Free man that one• of Messrs. Chalmers, Guthrie, and Co.'s clerks had introduced him (defendant) to the house, and was to receive £lO for doing so. Defendant said that was usual. Messrs. Chalmers, Guthrie, and Co. were the mer chants who found the cargo for the ship. Captain Denny told him (defendant) upon one occasion that Capt. Freeman had nothing to do with the matter. Captain Denny—Never. Cross-examined—l decline to give up the name of Messrs. Chalmers, Guthrie, and Co.'s clerk. Mr. Kearsey—You ought to do so. Defendant--I have other business with him. Mr. Kearsey—lt. is right merchants should k now h ow their business is conducted. Defendant was firm in his evidence that Mr. Freeman was only to receive one third share. Captain Freeman was re-called and denied this. Some evidence was taken, which showed that the owners expected a third, and his Honour said he considered it was usual to divide commission as it was received. On the face of the evidence he must find a verdict for plaintiff for the amount claimed, less the £5 returned, with costs. The October sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Lord Mayor, Sir H. W. Carden ; Aldermen Sir G. Carroll, Phillips, Lawrence, Hale (Sheriff), Sheriff Conder, the Undersheriffs, the Re corder, and the other civic authorities. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said the cases that would come before them this session were fewer in number than was usually the case, and, generally speaking, would offer no difficulty. Isaac Harmond was indicted for the wilful murder of a woman who had been living with him as his wife, and the evidence being different from that usually given in such cases, was the reason of its being mentioned. The evidence was to the effect that the prisoner had been heard in the next room to use bad language, and in a short time after the woman was seen to fall from the window. The question the grand jury had to decide was, whether Harmond threw her therefrom. There was no person present at the time, and all they would have to rely upon was the declaration of the woman previous to her death. The law allowed such declaration to be received in evidence, supposing it was made in the contemplation and prospect of death, although it was not made under the obli gation of an oath, and the jury would have to determine whether, at the time the woman made the declara tion inculpating Harmond, she believed herself to be in a dying state. There was one case of manslaughter of a very painful description. It was that of a man named William Hill, and the person whose death had been occasioned was his mother. From the evidence it appeared that both parties were in a state of intoxication. It was supposed that death had not occurred from the blow that was struck, but from the inj try received in a fall in consequence of it. Had he contemplated her death, he would have been liable to have been indicted for wilful murder. Another indictment to which he wished to direct their attention was that of John Owens, who stood chaiged with inciting and counselling his daughter to commit sui cide. The evidence was not of a very strong description. The:only personwho was'present was in such a state of intoxi cation that he was totally unable to give any clear account of the case ; but persons who were in the adjoining room said they heard all that passed. One of the witnesses stated that he heard the man say that "he'd rather die than be subject to the cruelties of his daughter," and then left the house for a short time. He returned with some poison, and, on entering his apartment, told his daughter he would take it, when she replied, "You're not game enough." A struggle ensued, in the course of which the girl took up the cup, and saying " Herel luck," drank off its contents, from the effects of which she died. The evidence, as it at pre sent stood, seemed rather weak, but it would be for them to say whether there was suf ficient to justify the returning a true bill against the man. There was another case which he would just men tion—it was that of John Aimes, who was indicted for un lawfully taking away a girl under 16 years of age from the custody of her father. The question for their consideration was not whether the girl gave her consent—for the law very properly directed that where a girl of the tender age of 16 was taken away without the consent of her father, a person committing such an offence should be subject to a severe punishment—but whether the girl was taken away without the consent of her father. There were also inthe Wender several offences against the bankruptcy laws, a crime t w h l ich e pe r h s e o n thought t a e d p e n a r a e n tl l o fraud e r au ue o h n d e his ed r t eN was charged e t o a r s s e i B 0 13y the el f making fraudulent entries to de m ev a id de en i c n e a to b o be k g rievleant deposition,ni t ap e g t o pe st a tha r et e dd yearthatat tB c st certain a p t n au p:e n ro t n r o te-fe which were m theeh e witnesses, in his the oth e b r book r s m o - n a n m a ad m e d e w s e i n v i o s t , m w a a n s uf i n a d c t u t e ed d f u o n r t makingi I 1857. a /,‘ i v a n y with his books for the purpose of defrauding his creditors, and he thought it of importance that it should be generally known in this commercial country, that any person convicted of such an offence was liable to three years' imprisonment.

Good and fine wheat were in fair request in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices were well supported. In other qualities very little business was doing, at about previous rates. Fine barley and oats realised extreme rates ; but all other produce was a slow inquiry. Throughout the continent wheat has been held at full quotations. The amount of business doing in it, however, has not been extensive. Spring corn has support ed pre vious rates, with a fair inquiry. In the United States wheat and other articles have continued very inactive. The arrivals of English grain up to market last week were on the increase. From abroad we received liberal supplies, viz. :-16,678 quarters of wheat; 17,277, barley; 109,946, oats ; 860, rye ; 241, beans ; 6,965, peas ; 20, teres ; 4,640, linseed ; 220 rapeseed ; 3,979, sundry seeds ; 1,105 sacks and 1,290 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, the arrivals of wheat were very limited, and the show of samples was consequently small. However, the demand for all kinds, as millers generally showed no disposition to get into stock, was in a very inactive state. Factors, however, were toler ably firm in their demands, and the bulk of the supply changed hands at prices barely equal to Monday last. At the close of business, however, Kent wheat gave way Is. per quarter. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer, fresh as well as ex granary. Even the finest samples were much neglected, and, in some instances, prices ruled almost nominal. In floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, very little was doing. Fine malting barley was scarcer, and in good request, at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Old malt sold at full prices; but new qualities were a slow sale. Owing to the large arrivals from abroad the oat trade ruled heavy, at 6d to is per quarter less money, compared with Monday last. Beans supported former currencies ; but most kinds of peas were fully is per quarter lower than last week. We had a moderato inquiry for flour, at last week's quo. ations.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning exhibited a falling off in number, and there was little or no improvement in their condition. Nearly all breeds were in improved request, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 24 per 81bs. The general top figure for beef was 4s Bd, but some superior Scots realised 4s 10d per Sibs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,500 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; from Scot land, 17 Scots ; and from Ireland, 820 oxen, &c. Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was very limited for the time of year, the mutton trade was by no means active. However, compared with Monday last, there was a better feeling in the demand, and prices may be con sidered fully 2d per 81bs higher than on that day. Prime old Downs realised 5s per 81bs. We were very scantily supplied with calves, which changed hands steadily, at 2d per 81bs more money. The best veal sold at 5s per 81bs.

Henry Lovesy, 22, Thomas Lovesy, 16, and a woman named Dunn, were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling house of William Harman, and stealing his goods and money valued at £27 Ps. 6d. Mr. Orridge appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Horry defended the prisoners, Mr. Harman said—l reside at Poplar, and in conse quence of being in the Scandinavian trade I take in my business a quantity of foreign money. One morning in the month of June I came down to commence business, when I found the place all in disorder, and a great quantity of pro perty stolen. Amongst the things taken away was a quan- tity of foreign coin, which was safe when I retired to rest, in an old sea chest in the counting house. There was amongst the foreign money stolen an old English coin dated 1419, six Mexican dollars, and the rest consisted of Nor- wegian, Danish, Swedish, and Prussian money. After the robbery had been committed I had bills printed offering SIO reward for the apprehension of the parties, and the result was that the female prisoner was taken into custody. On searching the place the police opened a box belonging to the prisoner, who:lived with the woman, and there a number of foreign coins were discovered. They were similar to those I had in my possession previous to the burglary, but I could not positively swear to them, as there is no private mark upon them. There was also found a silk handker chief, a Baltic shirt, and some other property, all of which had formed a part of my stock. I can't swear that I have not sold some articles similar to those found at Lovesy's, but I am confident I never sold the handkerchief that was found in Lovesy's box. The younger prisoner had been in my employ. Mr. Poole, residing at Shadwell, said—l am a pawn broker. I produce a number of foreign coins. The femala offered them for sale. I asked her how much they were worth, and where she had got them from. She said they belonged to her brother, who lived in Albert street. I took the coins from her, and said if I found her story was correct I would give twice the value of them. I went out with her for the purpose of going to Albert street, but she said it was no use going there as her brother was from home. Finding that she was trying to evade me, I told her I should give ber into custody, when she said I could keep the whole of the money if I would let her go. I refused, and called a co . gave her into custody. The prosecutor - , , coins, and picked out one he said he could sw • n millions. It was a coin of Henry V. Police-constable Kea* said I took the female prisoner into custody. Going to the station she said her cousin gave her the coins to sell, but at the station she said a man whom she did not know gave her the things to sell. She gave her right address at the station. George Williams, a pawnbroker's assistant, said—l pro duce a Baltic shirt, pawned by a woman, to whom I gave a duplicate. I don't know the woman. The duplicate just put into my hand is the one. Several other pawnbrokers produced parts of the stolen property, but none could identify either of the prisoners as the parties who pawned them.• The jury found both the male prisoners guilty of th e burglary, and Dunn guilty of feloniously receiving. The Common Sergeant sentenced the younger prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment, and the other to four years' penal servitude. On hearing the latter sentence the woman dropped down insensible, and was carried out of court. Sentence on her was postponed until to-moorow morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day). MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A COLONEL CHARGED WITH OBSTRUCTING AN INSPEC TOR IN HIS DUTY.—Mr. John Jeffries, a gentlemanly looking man, described as a colonel in the Guards, of Strat ford-place, was charged by Mr. Inspector Parke, of the C division, with obstructing him while in the execution of his duty. Mr. Inspector John Duke Parker said—About a quarter past twelve on Saturday night I was in the Haymarket in the execution of my duty when the defendant camp up to me in an excited manner and said he wanted me, and took me into the Turkish Cigar , Divan, and pointing to a person there said, " lie won't serve me." Tho proprietor (Mr. Thompson) said, " No, because you have insulted and struck my waiter on the head with a stick" (produced). As the defendant was very excited, and wanted to get at the stick, I did what I could to get him out, and persuaded him to go away. Instead of doing so, however, he followed me up and down the Hay market, saying he wanted my name and number, said he was a colonel in the Guards, the lord-lieutenant of a county, the son of a peer, connected with the Yacht Squadron, and several other things. His conduct at last became so annoy ing, notwithstanding he had shown great forbearance, that he was obliged to have him taken into custody. The defendant said he had just left the Argyle Rooms, where he had been with a distinguished member of the Oriental Club. He had only taken two glasses of negus, and he was a very steady man. Ho afterwards went down the Haymarket, and into the Turkish Divan, kept by a fellow named Thompson, where he put down 6d., intending to pay 3d. for a cigar and one penny for the waiter, when he was seized violently and turned out of the place by the cigar fellow. He said to the inspector, " Take that man into custody," but he handed him over to a constable. He asked for his worship's protection. He had been treated with violence. Mr. Parker said the defendant was intoxicated at the time, but was capable of walking. There had been no violence used towards him, and he (the inspector) had pre vented him probably doing serious mischief. The proprietor did not wish to press the charge against lulu, and every opportunity had been afforded for his sending for bail. Fined 205., or ten days. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING.

SIR, — An impression having gone abroad that the Royal Alhambra Palace is to be opened as a casino, we beg to state that such is not the case, but that it will remain as a circus during the term of our lease; and that the celebrated American Equestrian Company, with several novel additions and extra talent, will shortly return to London for the winter season.

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Like Sir Charles Coldstream, people affect to look at The Cambridgeshire, and " see nothing in it." They see nothing in the retirement and advancement of Leontea, they see nothing in the retrogression of Blanche of Middlebie, and they see nothing in the "upward tendency" of The Ancient Briton. Now, the simple fact is, that the New market folk have made up their minds that the winner of The Cambridgeshire will bo either Zouave or Leontes, and really they have made up their minds to some purpose, for noimithstanding the kostilitywhich the Duke of Bedford's horse encountered on Friday, persons are, at my present writ ing, anxious to take 7to 1 about him. The horse is as well as his " fondest" friends could desire, and why " liberties " were taken with him at Manchester I am at a loss to ima gine. Zouave gallops free and well. He seems as strong as a lion, but he has a will of his own, and, as Mr. Bucket would say, "that's agin him." Indeed, the French party are divided between him and Geolette, whom they say will reverse the running for the French Cesarewitch. If any foreigner wins the race, however, it will be Zouave. All sorts of reports are circulated about the trial of Ancient Briton, who, it is said in some quarters, has been " put through the mill" with Blanche of Mid• dlebie, whilst others affirm that Saunterer was the Schoolmaster. I do not believe that the black 'un was in the trial, but I do believe that Ancient Briton has done something to satisfy his party as to the soundness of his pretensions. But then, how about his race with Leontes in the First October? Aye, there's the.rub. If that performance be correct, the Ancient Briton may, in the dubious phraseology of the ring, be "put out with our washing." The running of the Ancient Briton at Doncaster must not be forgotten. For the Brewer I have a decided partiality, and, despite the sneers respecting his being only a " steeplechaser," I shall be much mistaken if he do not prove that he possesses a good turn of speed. His owner—no bad judge—fancies the horse has a great chance, and I am induced to believe in the correctness of his opinion. Rocket must not be slightingly regarded, albeit the Brewer ought, acoording to the Cesarewitch form, to keep him safe. Prioress is a wonderfully game mare, but although she is not so slow as the animal dessribed by the hero of Slick ville, :and which took a week to gallop off a cabbage leaf, yet she will not be fast enough for a Cambridgeshire. Of her stable companions, Barbarity and Eclipse, I have no expectations. Ignoramus does not please me, and he is too lumbering a goer and possesses scarcely speed enough to enable him to pull through in so severe a race. Volta. showed good form both at Newcastle and at Stockton, and I shall be much disappointed if she do not run forward for this race. Her chance is " fancied" by John Scott, who is seldom over sanguine. The Physalis colt is said to be all to pieces, and I am therefore compelled to withhold the good opinion which I once entertained of his chance. Scribbler i so uncertain that I dare not trust him, although even i success would cause me no surprise. Count Batthyany has much confi dence in the prowess of his Farmer's Son, and, really, his faith is well founded. The horse is, perhaps, as trust worthy an outsider as one needs throw a trifle away upon. Eurydice will shut up in the first half of the distance. Lambourn is not, I fancy, as well as could be expected, and to refer to the other, would be superfluous. To be bold I shall disregard the French horse, and place my hopes in either 1 wv. LEONTES or THE BREWER. Volta shall be my cockboat. I may have time during the week to show how the race was run, and to offer some hints on the Nurseries. A FRESH MAN. SUDDEN DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN TURFITIL—Mr. Robert Ridsdale died suddenly at Newmarket on Saturday night. He only arrived in the town on the morning of that day, and in the evening he was discovered lifeless on the floor of his bed-room. He was the owner of St. Giles, winner of the Derby in 1832, Margrave, the winner of the St. Leger in the same year, and of other turteelebrities. His horses were trained by the late Thomas Webb at the now dilapidated Queensbery stables, Newmarket. CAMBRIDGE SHIRE STAKES.

The celebrated violinist Ole Bull is now travel ling in Norway, his native country, where his talent excites the greatest enthusiasm. As he was lately walking quietly through the streets of the small town of Drammen smoking his cigar , he was suddenly accosted by a police officer, who led him off to the commissary of police, by whom he was sentenced to pay a fine for violating the police regulations, which forbid smoking in the streets. Unfortunately, Ole Bull had come out without putting his purse in his pocket; he was consequently sent to prison, and it was not until the next day, on ascertaining who he was, that he was released. The Norwegian journals have taken up the cause of the artiste, and, at the present moment, the cigar of Ole Bull has assumed the magnitude of a question of high im portance. Cardinal Antonelli's brother has arrived in Paris and, evidently in search of obscurity and incognito, has taken a Emall retired lodging at the Batignolles. M uc h speculation is afloat, of course, as to the motive of his visit. He has already had several interviews with the Archbishop of Paris, and he has been twice received by the Emperor at St. Cloud.—Court Journal.
