'There is no material' change in the sate of train this week. The complaints of manufactnr.trs on 'Tuesday, in most lines, were quite equal to what they had been for some time past, h u t we did not hear of any actual reduction of prices. Water twist • continues livid( ; mule is rather dull, and lover in price than at the close of last yea,. In fine yarns, the extreme depression we have before announced continues to prevail, and several mills are working short time. There have, we believe, been a consi derable number of buyers of finished goods in the market this %week, but their purchases are stated to be on a smaller scale than at the corresponding period of last year. (Prom the Manchester Courier.) LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1829. PRICE 7D. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ' lions; and the mother, who attended the exaMinat:hn, de clared that she was fearful of going hone if her enuttural son were discharged. The prisoner's conduct, while at the bar, evinced his in corrigible habits. He was fully committed on the charge of stealing the watch and apparel belonging to his brother. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Fowler Smith, a young man of respectable appearance, was brought before the LORD Mivoß by Thomas Herdsfield and White, the officers, charged with having carried on a system of plunder upon his employer sue ;.! ~seldom being equalled. d stated, that some days ago, as he and White wee: . g down London-wall, they saw the prisoner cartl7 g a large stone bottle, and something in a sack, and being both of opinion that he was not " all right," questioned hilitAout his load. He said that he was in the employment of'Mr. Pritchard, of Smithfield, and car rying that gentleman's goods to a customer. The officers soon found that this was a falsehood. Mr. Pritchard knew npthing about him. Herdsfield searched him, and discoveed a little book which told the secret. It con tained several addresses, and amongst them that of a young lady to whom the prisoner was to have been married the day after his apprehension. The other addresses were those of shopkeepers who Were supplied by the prisoner from the stock of his master,lint. without being aware that they were, purchasers of stolen goods. The prisoner con trived to let his sweetheart know that he was in trouble and to direct her to conceal some articles which he had sent to a house in Gloucester-street, Whitechapel, which he had lately taken, The witness, however, "got scent" of what going forward, and upon searching the above mentioned premises, found a large quantity of goods of various kinds covered up in the water-butt and the dust hole. The whole of the stolen property which they found would have filled a large cart. The lady to whom the prisoner was to have bees mar • ried appeared in deep mourning, and was much affected. She was unable to give her evidence standing. She had, she said, received a letter from the prisoner, which she had destroyed. It desired her to put away some articles which he had sent to stock the house with, and she did so ac cordingly. Mr. Yates, oilman, of Little Britain, stated that the prisoner was in his employment as warehouseman for nearly two years, and confidence was reposed in him. Nis doubt whatever was entertained of his integrity, and he bad great opportunities for plunder. The blower of an organ, who was formerly a porter in Mr. Yates's house, stated that the prisoner applied to him while he was employed in church to carry goods from Mr. Yates's warehouse to several tradesmen. The hours at which witness used to work for the prisoner were before or after business hours; but witness declared that be thought that " all was right," notwithstanding. It appeared that the prisoner was attentive to his busi ness, that he was not at all dissipated, and that he was not known to keep low or dangerous company. His master said he had every season to suppose that the plunder had been going on upwards of eighteen months. In fact, the prisoner acknowledged that he had been committing depre dations on the premises. He had laid up such a stock as would have enabled him to begin the world with great prospect of success, and had supplied himself with ready money by selling at a lower rate than wholesale price. Mr. Yates identified a great deal of the property, and asked whether the sentence, in the event of conviction, would not be transportation for life. The LORD Mivoß said, that if property to the value of M. was sworn to as having been stolen by the prisoner, the sentence of death would be passed upon him, and no doubt carried into execution. We are sorry to state that the business of the last week has not enabled us to announce any improve ment in the circumstances of !he cotton trade. There has been a considerable number of drapers from all parts of the kingdom; but their purchases have in every instance been so limited, as to show that the depression which now weighs upon the cotton trade is felt throughout every department: of national industry. From all quarters we hear the same complaints of the scarcity of money. Our ex port trade is quite as bad as our home trade. The last accounts from South America are too discou raging, we understand, to induce merchants= to ex tend their speculations in that quarter. Almon! all other markets are equally glutted with English ma , nufaetures. The demand for yarn for exportation is better than that for any other article; but the supply at present so greatly exceeds the sales, that most of the spinners in this neighbourhood are working only four or five days in the week. This circumstance necessarily falls severely upon the labouring classes; but it is certainly the most prudent course foi their employers to pursue under present circumrtances,.. Great distress prevails also among the hand-loom weavers in this district, particularly among the calico and fustian weavers; their wages being fully as low as they were three years ago, while provisions are at the same time considerably higher than they were at that period of distress. There arc not, however, so many people out of employment as there were in 1826. FINAL EXAMINATION of JOHN BUTLER. This man was brought before Mr. RAWLINSON at Mary lebone, on Saturday, to hear the evidence which had not before been given in his presence. He came up to the bar with an air of indifference, ill•suited to his situation, and having placed his cap upon the ground, he drew from hi. pocket a sheet of writing paper folded, and a pencil, and took occasional notes of the examination. " Now," said Mr. RAWLINSON, addressing him, "since I remanded you, a Coroner's Inquest has been held upon the body of Mr. Neale, and they have returned a verdict of wilful murder against you. It is toy duty to-day to hear the additional evidence which was given before them, and see whether I ought to commit you under the same charge ; but it is not my intention to call again those wit nesses who were here on Wednesday unless you wish it." Prisoner—Are they all here? Mr. RAwuNsoN— They are. Mr. King, of the White Horse, Oxford-street, re-stated the facts which came under his observation, and Mr. Raw linson regretted that, when he found the deceased incapable of taking care of himself, he did not put him into a coach. Mr. W. Kirton, surgeon, Iligh-street, was sent for be tween seven and eight on Wednesday morning, and found the bodf of Mr. Neale lying in the middle of the parlour upon the ground, partially covered with a counterpane and a blanket. He took hold of the left hand, and found the body cold. Miss Neale fetched him. She told him her cousin came home greatly intoxicated, and he expected to find him dead of apoplexy. But when lie heard that a soldier came with him, and had robbed him of his clothes, he examined the body minutely, and found there was not that moisture in the mouth of the deceased which generally is the case in persons dying sudOenly of apoplexy, and he found a remarkable impression upon the nose, as'of two fingers and a thumb, which he had no doubt was made by exceedingly great pressure while Mr. Neale was alive. The prisoner appearing not to hear the witness dis tinctly, said, " Speak up, Sir, if you please." Mr. RAWLINSON asked Mr. Kirton whether he found the shirt .collar of the deceased buttoned or unbuttoned ? He replied, " Buttoned, but it was loose." And after mentioning some other circumstances which came under his observation, with respect to the tautly, the prisoner asked the following questions:— If the mark you speak of on the gentleman's nose bad been made when he was alive, would it be there after he was dead ?—Yes. (From the Manchester Gazette.) There has been no change in the general character of the market this week ; but the depression which we have had to notice as existing for s long time past is now assuming a more decided appearance. The manufacturers in every quarter are now active in making arrangements, by which they hope to tor prove their certainly bad condition, and we regret W learn that the means which they seem disposed to adopt for the purpose are a reduction of wages.-- Last week we announced that the fine spinners of this town and neighbourhood had determined to give notice of a reduction, in order to equalize the rates paid here to those which are paid for the same de scription of work elsewhere. This determination has been acted upon, and the notice will expire next Sa turday. At present the general expectation seems to be, that all hands will turn out rather than sub mit; this, from all that we can learn, an alter native which the masters are desirous their work people should choose. But, however beneficial it might be to them to have their mills standing for a time, it would be a very serious calamity to the public, and we therefore most seriously hope that matters • may be accommodated with out having recourse to it; or that business may take such a turn as may a,ert the desirableness of such a check to it. While this is the state of affairs here, in the country, about Hyde, Ashton, and Staley-bridge, the spinners and power-loom ma nufacturers have had a meeting, and we understand it was proposed that they should offer their work people 10 per cent. less than the present wages, and a further reduction of 5 per cent., if, at the expiration of:the first notice, the differences between the Stockport masters and men were not settled. These disputes are producing embarrassment and difficulty in every department of trade, and they prove beyond tell question that the state of trade is, in the strongest sense of the term, bad. In prices both of yarn and goods there is no change this week. The attendance of country buyers has been tolerably numerous; but the purchases made by them are so strictly limited to their actual wants, that the operations for their supply have no effect. The printers complain more decidedly this week than they have previously, and the difficulty of pay ments is generally stated to be increasing. Oh ! it would. You say you saw the body cold, when did you see it first ?—A little before eight. How long do you think it had been dead ?—Three or four hours. Could it get cold in no less time ?—I think not. Do you think it was full four hours ?—I cannot say : a body covered will retain its warmth longer than an unco vered body. You speak of pressure upon the stomach : was it from convulsion produced by drink ?—Not by convulsion with out violence. Do you consider any of the passages of the body were obstructed by drink ?—No. Respecting the shoulder, there was some sort of bruise; a discolouration from a fill?—No. Air. Yates appeared to he ht•rror-struck at this intelli gence. He considered, he said, that the offence of the prisoner well merited transportation for life. It would be dreadful to allow such a deliberate plunderer to return back upon society ; but the idea of hanging a man for the crime was too shocking to be for a moment entertained. Was it a sort of disorder that would seize a drunken per. son ?—Not without he received violent treatment. Mr. Hobler said that the punishment for stealing goods under the value of 51. was transportation for 14 years. Mr. Yates might prosecute, if be pleased, for the lesser sum. The LORD MAYOR.--The case of this prisoner is the worst I have ever known. If convicted of a capital offence under such circumstances, nothing on earth, if we may judge from the examples generally made, can save his life. Mr. Yates said that he would not shed the prisoner's blood. He would most gladly remove for ever from this country a man for whose conduct there was no excuse or palliation ; but the alternative of death he could not for an instant think of. The prisoner was then fully committed for stealing goods to an amount, the stealing of one shilling beyond which would, without the shadow of a doubt, consign him to the gallows. er - . ~, • : as - • AnAHRALTY-OFFICE, M Aacn 5, 1829. ! / "t - aativa:s ? ‘"wti, i NOTICE is hereby given, That a Session of i . . . .A.e c, ,ff I • , 4 . 4 '°l - .

In the course of Saturday a very gross fraud in the article of coal was discovered by a tradesman in the neighbourhood of Norwood. About one o'clock on the .. day in question, th ree men were o b served pulling along a' cart laden with coals ; they stopped at the doors of seve ral tradesmen in the place, apparently labouring under considerable fatigue from their work, and having made known that they were venders of the article in the cart, trumped up a story of their horse dropping down dead on the road, in consequence of drinking too much water; that owing to this mishap, they were compelled to do the drudgery of the animal themselves, and that, in order to get rid of their burden, they would let any customer have coals " dirt cheap." The fellows succeeded in their ob ject at length, for, on going to the house of a Mr. SMITH, and having impressed him with the belief of the story of the dead horse, he agreed to purchase twenty three bushels of coals of them. The three men then went to work, and having, as was supposed, measured the above quan tity, the heap appeared to be small, and on re-measuring them afterwards, a deficiency of the enormous quantity of thirteen bushels was discovered. This glaring fraud being made known to some of the neighbours, the three hawkers were stopped, and on overhauling their bushel measure, it was found to he constructed on such a plan as not to contain half the above quantity, although, to the casual observer, it was almost impossible to detect the imposition. Mr. S3lrrn haring paid the money for twenty-three bushels, and the men having refused to re fund it on the discovery of the deficiency, they were taken into custody, and examined at 'and were ulti mately remanded for a week.

Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. SEatoN, the Hoop and Grapes, Cross.strcet, Hatton. garden, which raged for some time with great fury. It originated in the lower part of the house, and is supposed to have been caused by the bursting of the gas-pipe. By the timely arrival of the engines, and the exertions of the firemen, however, the fire was prevented from spreading to the adjoining pre mises, but Mr. SEMON'S house was completely gutted from top to bottom. The inmates narrowly escaped with their lives, Mr. Sxmois- without his clothes, being obliged to borrow A pair of trousers from a friend. He was hut slightly insured, and has lately laid out a considerable sum in repairs. GUILDHALL. TRICK or HORSE-DEALERS.—WiIIiam Brown, one of the Smithfield horse-dealers, was brought before Sir C. S. IirNTER, on Saturday, charged with defrauding Wm. Denyard, a potatoe-dealer, in Speldhurst•street, Burton crescent, of six pounds. The complainant went to Smithfield horse-fair on Fri day se'nnight, and bargained with the prisoner for a good looking horse, for which he consented to take nine pounds. Complainant deposited 305., and on the following evening met the prisoner at the Ram Inn, Smithfield, and gave him 41. 10s. more. The prisoner then told him he was a poor man, and he should be sorry to take him in, and he would therefore confess that the horse in question was a bull (a roarer)—Complainant would find he could not have fallen into the hands of a more honest horse-dealer in that market. He would keep this bull, and let the complainant have the choice of two good ones the following market day. Complainant congratulated himself on his escape, and having taken Brown's address, went home quite satis fied. But some misgivings arose in his mind, and he set off to the place where the prisoner said he resided, and finding he was not known there, he gave Lim into custody the first time he met with him again. Branscomb, the officer, said this was a trick daily prac tised in Smithfield. A dealer having a screw (unsound horse), employs an agent to sell, and having found a cus tomer, the agent prefers taking a part to the whole price, professing that the buyer shall have the animal on trial for a week. Then the owner appears and locks the horse up in a stable, pretending to be dissatisfied with the conduct of his agent, and demanding the immediate payment of the whole sum, or some sureties for the return of the horse, or payment at the expiration of the week. The buyer• may be a very honest man, but he is a stranger, and cannot ex pect credit. While the buyer, who commonly prefers a week's trial, is fetching his friends, the horse is removed, and the customer is told upon his return, that the animal is unsound, and he shall have an infinitely better one next day. Having obtained the buyer's consent to waive the purchase, the trick is complete—he is put off with excuses from time to time—gets neither a horse nor his money— and can obtain no redress but by an action at law, against a man of no property. The prisoner, in his defence, said Denyard had agreed to take 41. and a few shillings, and he was willing to pay him, but he could not obtain the money if he were not set at large. He was not aware the horse was unsound till after the bargain was made. Denyard admitting he had agreed to take 41. in full of all demands, Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER told the prisoner he would re mand him till Tuesday, to consider whether he could be in dicted for fraud ; but if he paid the V. in the interim he should be discharged. UNION-HALL. Saturday a young man named Oakey, the son of a pianoforte-maker in Newington, was charged with having robbed his father tinder aggravated circumstances. From the father's evidence, it appeared that his incor rigible son had evinced, from an early period, a most de praved character, being in the habit of committing thefts whenever an opportunity offered. A short time ago he committed a robbery, and was tried at the Old Bailey, but was acquitted, owing to the influence used in his favour by the friends of the family. On his acquittal he was taken home, and the very first night he slept at his Ether's dwelling, an elderly lady who lodged there was awakened by a noise as if persons were breaking into her apartment. She instantly gave an alarm, and Mr. Oakey, having armed himself with a loaded pistol, imagining thieves had broken into the premises, hastened down stairs, and dis covered his own son concealed in the coal-hole ; he was armed with a knife, but on perceiving his parent made no attempt at resistance. The prisoner, it appeared, had pre viously entered his brother's bed-room, and having'pos sessed himself of a new suit of clothes, together with a watch, then proceeded down to the old lady's room, where in his ettempts to break into it he was overheard, and afterwards found concealed in the manner above described. It was also given in evidence, that the prisoner had threatened the life of Loth his parents on several occa• If a man fall with a violent fall, might it not injure his inside, think you ?—We did not find any injury of that kind when the body was opened. Well, Sir, respecting this violent blow on the nose, might that not proceed from a fall ?—I stated my opinion before, that it had been grasped by two fingers and a thumb. You say you found two under waistcoats upon the body, were they tight?—No, loose like night-shirts. Well, Sir, I have no more questions to ask you at present. Mr. RAWLINSON asked Mr. Kirton what was the im pression on his mind respecting Mr. Neale's death, and he said he believed it was occasioned by violence. The prisoner begged permission to ask if a gentleman named Laycock was present. No one answered to the name, and Mr. Rawliuson sail if he would give his ad dress, some one should immediately fetch him. He de scribed Mr. Laycoek to be a Madeira wine -merchant, at No. 2, Northumberland-eourt, Charing-cross, and a rela tion, and said he had requested him by letter to attend the examination. The office Directories were searched, but no such person's name was in them. The prisoner con. chided he had changed his residence, and his letter had not reached him, and exclaimed, " I am now lost !" Mr. RAWLINSON said—The Coroner's inquest has re turned a verdict of wilful murder against you, and you must be committed to Newgate for trial; your friend may be of service to you there, but can do you no good now. You are in a very awful situation, but you shall have every assistance afforded you. 'I he prisoner said he was aware of his peril, and thanked the Magimtrate. Dr. Dennis repeated the evidence he gave before the Coroner. Mr. Joshua Brookes, of Blenheim -street, surgeon, pre ceded his statement by saying, he had been reprimanded by one of the newspapers for making use of technical terms at the inquest. He would now divest his statement as much as possible of them, yet English names could not be found for some parts of the human frame. He pointed out the diseases to which, upon dissecting the body, he found the deceased was predisposed, but in his opinion the maladies were neither of them sufficiently extensive to cause instant death. He particularly noticed the state of the nose, and judging by all appearances, gave it as his opinion that the deceased was stifled. The prisoner, addressing Mr. Brookes—You say, Sir, you found two marbles in the head of the deceased, how long do you think they had been there? Mr. Brookes-1 said I found tumours there about the size of small marbles. They are produced by disease, and vary in size. I have found them as small as a pea, and as large as this ink-stand, according to the stage of the disease. Prisoner—Were they in their right places ? Mr. Brookes—They have no right places ; they are, as I said before, produced by disease. Prisoner—Would drink act upon them to produce death ? Mr. 13roekez—No, Ido not suppose it would. Prisoner—You observed blood o❑ the brain, might not that have been in conseqtrence of a rumpled sheet, which was found under the back of the deceased. It raised his back up, and the blood would of course run into his bead ? Mr. Brookes—No ; certainly rot. Prisoner—Do not you think it was produced by exces sive drinking ?—Mr. Brookes—That would cause a de termination of blood to the head, but not in so great a quantity. Prisoner—Do you think violent falls would not have injured the nose in the way you describe ?—Mr. Brookes— There was not the least appearance of contusion—nothing like black and blue marks, as they are called ; but the left nostril appeared pressed in with a thumb, it was a horrible spectacle, such as I never witnessed before ; and (turning to the Magistrate) the firmness of the mouth was extraor dinary ; friends generally watch for the last moment of a dying person, and tie up the under jaw, to prevent its fall ing and producing a ghastly appearance, but here the mouth was firmly closed. Prisoner—The deceased was in liquor before, and drank a great deal after he got home : if I was to drink to such an excess, and my blood got up into my brain in conse quence would it not make my body in a curious state? This question was not immediately answered, and he put another. You speak of the organ, was that in its proper place ? Mr. Brookes explained to him, that any and every distinct part of the body, complete in itself, is called an organ ; and the prisoner said be hail no more questions. Ile asked if the two young women were there, and Ann Norris (the cook) was called in. Prisoner—You said you heard your master snore, as late as half-past five ?---No, I did not hear him snore at all; I said my fellow-servant heard a noise at half-past three, and Miss Neale thought it was my master snoring. The prisoner said he wished to ask no more questions, and he was commit'ed to Newgate for the alleged murder, and ordered to be detained for the robbery. It is said that the recent failure in the stage coach trade have been rrincipally owing to the ruinously low'rates at which the spirit of competition has induced m any of the parties engaged itt it to under-drive each other. (From the Manchester Times.) We stated last week that a number of the princi pal spinners in this town had determined to shorten the hours of labour, in order that their workpeople should not make more than four or five days' labour in the week, and we expressed our gratification that they had so resolved, rather than to reduce prices, because a lessening of the quantity produced would tend to relieve the market of the overstock of yarn. We are sorry that we have now to state, that the owners of factories in which fine yarns are spun have - resolved upon making a very material reduction in the prices which are now paid. The reduction is to commence at No. 80, the spinning of which, according to the scale proposed, is to be paid at about five per cent. less per pound than is now paid for it, and the scale of reduction goes on increasing, till at No. 250, it is upwards of twenty-five per cent. below the present rate. We understand that the reason alleged for this proposed reduction, instead of a shortening of the hours of labour, is, that by the latter a premium would in fact be given to the country spinners, who would use their exertion to fill up the vacuum in the yarn market which might be thus created. The masters also say that this measure has been forced upon them by the spinners in the neighbourhood paying consider ably lower prices than are paid here. The men on the other hand say, that it is known that the Ash ton spinners have resolved to lower prices twenty five per cent. whenever any reduction takes place here ; so that reduction after reduction in this man ner might go on till the whole of the spinners were reduced to a state of misery as deep and hopeless as that in which the weavers are sunk. The convic tion that such would be the result of agreeing to a reduction, has, we understand, determined the men who are employed on fine numbers to turn our. This is, it must be confessed, an exceedingly unfortu nate state of things at the very best season of the year for business. We trust that any communications there may be between masters and men will be con ducted with temper and moderation, so as to lea - le the door open for friendly arrangement; and as both classes are suffering by the depression of the times, it is not too much to hope that each will have that feeling for the situation of the other which will lead them to avoid every thing that may be an obstacle to speedy agreement. A man named FITZGERALD was killed on Tuesday, at Ardpatrick fair, by a party of fellows, who literally smashed his skull to atoms.—Limerick Chronicle. LOST GREENLAND.—CAPTAIN MA NOY, whose mind is ever actively employed, has printed and given private circulation to a series of papers connected with a plan he contemplates for the recovery of these lost regions, and which he considers so be " eminently impor. tint to humanity, highly interesting to history," and likely to "afford an extensive source of information to se veral branches of science; it would also, besides renewing an intercourse with a forlorn people, probable tend to open a beneficial traffic with this remote and almost unknown part of the Polar world." This colony was peopled (if at all—which is matter of doubt) about SOO years ago ; it continued to hold some commerce with Iceland and Norway till 1406, when " no intercourse was ever after accompli.4ll - " Capt.
