The reports received this morning from most of the manufacturing districts state that during the Past week less activity has been apparent. At Bir mingham the iron trade continues steady, but the coal trade of the district is dull. The jewellery and button trades continues very depressed. At Manchester the market has been flat, and there is uo longer a tendency in prices towards improve ment. A moderate demand is experienced for goods suitable to the home trade, and to some ex tent for the German and Mediterranean markets. The woollen trade at Leeds has been exceedingly dull very few buyers having been in the town and the transactions reported are chiefly in the heavier kinds of cloths for the autumn. A few speculative dealings have been entered into in goods suitable ter the American trade in anticipation an of im proved demand from that quarter. The worsted trade at Bradford shows symptoms of improvement and some increase of business has been experienced. Merchants engaged in the export department have been making more inquiries for goods and have in a great measure sup plied themselves from the accumulated stocks en hand, At Halifax the carpet trade is active, The piece goods h ave been sold to a f a i r ex t en t . ] ace and hosiery trade of Nottingham and Leicester have been very dull, and several manu facturers have been disposing of goods by tender. In the shipping trade, however, rather more acti vity has prevailed for both the German and Ame rican markets ; at Sheffield and Wolverhampton the operations in hardware have shown indications °f a gradual removal, both home and conti nental orders having been given only to some ex tent, and the resumption of payment by Messrs. Naylor, Vickers and Co. has caused increased ani• oration in the neighbourhood. !East Lancashire 11 East Suffolk .. 11 D0....

Choice bills of abort date are still negotiated at 24 to 2i per cent., and the arrivals of specie tend to strengthen the 'repression that there will be a contiunance of ease du ring the remainder of the year. Besides the Australian supplies, and those which were likely to cern° forward from Russia, remittances are now elPooted from the United States, the exchange having risen to 1091 110.

Meanwhile, it is probable that mode rate shipments will take place to the Continent and the East, but if the imports continue as extensive aS at present, a partial absortion for foreign pur poses will not create the slightest anxiety, nor exert any injurious influence upon the position of mone tary affairs.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, in which only a moderate busi ness was transacted, at about stationary prices. Fine b,rlev a- very firm ; brit inferior roleeb, were a slow inquiry. Other produce ruled about stationary. Throughout the continent, very little change has taken place in the value of produce. The American advices come heavy for both wheat and flour, very limited sup plies of English grain came fresh to hand last week. The imports were 9,923 quarters of wheat, 28,995 barley, 36,610 oats. L 677 beans, 1,245 peas, 7,660 linseed, 4,950 rapeseed, 35 mustard seed, 77 sundry seeds, and 3,169 sacks of flour. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor,) IN RE THE LONDON AND EASTERN BANKING CORPORATION. The supplies of English wheat received 'fresh up to-day from Essex, Kent, &c. coastwise, were only moderate ; and the arrivals by laud carriage were limited, hence the show of samples was small. Factors generally were firm in their demands; but the inquiry for all kinds of home grown wheat was far from active, at prices about equal to those realised on Monday last. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary, on the stands. Even the finest quali ties were a dull inquiry, but we have no ohange to notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain sold at last week's prices. Scarcely any English barley was in the market ; but the supply of foreign was entensive. Good and useful qualities sold steadily—other kinds slowly, at about last week's currency. We had a dull inquiry for nearly all kinds of malt, and late rates were barely supported. The supply of oats was large. Good sound corn sold at full prices ; but inferior and damp parcels were rather lower. Both beans and peas were in short supply and steady request, at full prices. In the value of flour no change took place. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Two points of contention were raised in this case— let, the validity of the fiat of bankruptcy of this com pany ; and 2d, the legality of the proceedings at law by Sir Charles Forbes and Company, creditors of this com pany, in obtaining a judgment of the Court of Exchequer against the company on a bill of exchange after the fiat of bankruptcy had been issued and an official manager appointed. The Lord Chancellor, after minutely examining and considering the several clauses in the different Acts of Parliament relative to the proceedings in bankruptcy in banking corporations and companies, was of opinion that, although a creditor was entitled to take a judg ment of a court of law upon his debt, yet he was bound to proceed under the bankruptcy when a Sat of bank ruptcy is granted and an official manager appointed. His lordshipaffirmed the fiat of bankruptcy, and granted an injunction restraining Sir Charles Forbes and Com. pany from proceeding in any other way to recover pay ment t of their be raidd out of theebtthann common nder the fund. seut bankruptcy. Costs ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) JENKIN V. CLINTON.-JUDGMENT. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said this was a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill for want of equity. The contention between the parties arose upon the construe. tion to be put upon the will of the deceased Thomas Jenkins, who died in 1798. And the question raised was, whether the testator, by his will, demised an estate in fee or in tail only in favour of his great-grand-nephews, Thomas, William, and Joseph. His Honour, after minutely e xamining and considering the different clauses in the will, came to the conc'usion that the testator demised an estate in tail only, and not in fee, and that the plaintiff was not entitled to the relief asked by his bill. - ••• 472 - 120 32 The demurrer was allowed, without costs, and the bi , dismissed.

It appeared ' that the deceased shortly before his death tore off the seals of his will, saying he would make a fresh one, but h3fore he could do so he died, and it was contended that under the circumstances this was not a cancelling or revokation of the will as against the parties who were to be benefited. The Court without entering into the question of " cancelling," generally, held that, in this case, the tearing off of the seal was a revokation or cancelling of it. - • 'BRITISH Pi Atian. and St. Law.

Mr. Lu-b, Q.C,. moved for a rule calling up the de fendants to• show cause why the verdict in this case should not be eetered for the pliintiffs for 30/., on leave reserved. The action was tried at the late Guildhall sittings, before Mr. Justice Byles, when a verdict vas directed substantially for the defendant, on the ground of there being no evidence for the plaintiff on which to go to the jury. The action was brought to recover the value of certain jewellery alleged to have been feloni ously abstracted from the-defendant's servants, while the box in which it was packed was in transit from Werthing to the Queen's Heal, Borough, oa the 17th August last. Tiso defendant pleauea the Om-rie, o' that the articles wera not declared, to which there was a replication that the loss arose from the felonious aLts of the defendant's servants. The Court, after hearing the evidence read, and the learned counsel at full length, refused the rule. Rule refused accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN BE LESLIE.

His Honour asked whether they were cf au intricate character Mr. Lawrance said they were, and he had to aek for an adjlurnment for six weeks, and that the bankrupt should have an allowance. His Honour said the figures were heavy at present, 100 0001. on one side and only 700/, on the other. Mr. Turner did not object to an adjournment of the examination, but could not consent to an allowance at present. _ Mr. Lowrance said the question of allowance could stand over. An adjournment for six weeks took pace. It was stated that the bankrupt had made advances to other parties to the extent of between 30,0001. and 40,0001, IN RE T. G. GABRIEL. This bankrupt was described as of Midford place and London•street, Tottenham-court-road, and to-day was appointed for his last examination, but no accounts having Leen filed, and there having been a previous ad journment, the case was adjourned sine die, with leave for bankrupt to apply, previously paving the costs into court, which, however, would probably be allowed to him if the accounts were fi:ed without unnecessary delay and were satisfactory. POLICE INTFJ.T.TGENCE.—(This Day.. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEUALlt.—Robert Fuller was charged with committing a violent assault on a widow named Taylor, under the following circum stances : Elizabeth Taylor said that she resided in Han way yard, Soho, and that on Saturday evening the prisoner, who had been drinking, after abusing her daughter, with whom he lived, and making use of the grossest ex pressions towards her, struck her a violent blow, knock ing her into a chair, and rendering her insensible. She expostulated with him on his conduct, when he seized a ohair with which he gave her (prosecutrix) a violent blow on the back. He then seized her arm, and pinched it till it was black and blue, bit her finger in a very violent manner, and gave her several severe blows on the head. He then seized the fire shovel, with which he attempted to strike her, but a younger daughter pre• vented him. He then caught hold of her by the throat and tried to choke her. A daughter of the prosecutrix confirmed her mother's evidence. A constable said, hearing cries of murder and police, he went to the prosecutrix's assistance. The prisoner had a shovel in his hand. The younger female's face was covered - with blood. Prisoner said be had been drinking and that the female had seized him by the hair of his head. Sbe was always doing it. Once she had stabbed him, at another time bruised his head. Mr. Birgham said it was strange, if he was treated in the manner ha stat e d, he did not run away— he should have thought any man would have done so. However, it was the mother who was now the injured party, and for the brutal asiault he had com tnittod on her, he should fine him 3/., or two months, with bard labour. THAMES. DARINGF STREET RonsznY l -31ie-iel Dacey and George Burns, each aged 21, and well .known thieves were brought before Mr. Ysrdley, charged with stealing a silver watch and appendages, from the person cf Mr. James Webster the icate of the ship Bussona, lying in the City Canal, Black wall. George Webster, a seaman belonging to the brig Jessy, lying in the St. Katherine Dock, said he received a visit from his brother James, on Saturday afternoon, and they agreed to spend the evening together, and to pass the night and Sunday away from their ships. At nine o'clock at night they were in search of a lodging in Rat cliff Highway, when his brother turned down a narrow entry, and was soon s u rroun ded by the prisoners and two others who hustled him and one of them snatched his watch from his pocket and ran away. He ran after the thieves and cried out police. The four thieves ran some distance by the side of the London and the St. Katherine Dock walls.

The marquis had appealed against the competency of this tribunal, upon the ground that ' the Sacro Monte di Pieta was an establishment ex clusively dependent upon the ecclesiastical branch of the Government, or, in Roman phraseolgy, the most reverend Apostolic Chamber, which possesses a tribuni expressly set apart to take cognisance cf all cases connected with its own peculiar branches of the administration. On Friday last the mtrquis's objection to the competency of the criminal tribunal was presented, strangely enough, to the criminal tribunal itself to decide upon. The result was, as might have been expected, that the criminal tribunal declared itself perfectly competent - , and as the case has been pushed on wilh urgency, and the intentions of the government are pretty well known, great astonishment has been felt that the Marquis Cam papa, of European reputation as a profound archme logist and liberal Mecasnas of the arts, should have brought liiinslfinto so disgraceful a position. The only point to be objected to in this mode of proceed ing of the Government, admitting the full gravity of the offence, is the hindrance thrown in the Mar quis's way with respect to a public trial and an nu shackled defence. Our British ideas of justice are very much shocked at the prisoner's advocate being required to submit his speech for the defence to the previous censorship of tie president of the very criminal tribunal which is to give sell. once. The Marquis Campana feels persuaded that if be could at the present moment negotiate the sale ( f his museum, and so liquidate his liabilities towards the Monte di Pieta, all would be forgiven, and be would go forth scot free; but a transaction of that importance cannot bee included so rapidly. Never theless a friend of his has undertaken to write to the British Government uoon the subject, in the hope of her Majesty's Ministers making an offer _in time. THE MURDER IN LA ysTALL-,STREET, On Saturday forenoon, at 11 o'clock, an investi gation took place at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, before Mr %ValiTey, coroner, on view of the body of Tho 3. Chze. Elanwvll, 26, a plasterer, who was killed in a fracas, on Wednes day last, in Laystall-street, Liquorpoud-street. Since the shocking affair, two men, of the name of Cronin and Spray, have be , -n apprehcndvd, and examined at Clerken well Police-court, and re manded to await the result of the present proceed ings. - - After the jury were sworn they viewed the body, which ex►►ibited no marks of external violence. The following evide►,ce wai brought firwird Mary Jane Haswell, the dcce.ised's sister, merely spoke to his having been married list Christmas, awl his being a steady, hard-working man. Thoma,: Jesson, greeugr _eel-, of Laystall-street, said he saw the fracas. The deceased and Cronin struggled together, a%d, with three others, fell. The deceased was the last that got up. When he did, he staggered and fell against a wall, after which be did not siir, and appeared quite dead. By the Coroner—l did not see Cronin strike the deceased. I saw them scuffle together, and the de ceased fell, as I have described. John Smith, in the egop!oy of Reid's Brewery, Liquorpind-street, said about 8 o'clock on Wed nesday eveni , .g I observed several men struggling together. The deceased was left upon the ground when the whole of the others got upon their feet. Ho (deceased) got up afterwards, but fell against a wall to the ground, after which he never moved. He was brought to this hospital. By the jury --I did not see the deceased struck by either of the men now in custody. The Coroner said that the Coroners' Courts were a farce. Two men were in custody charged with manslaughter, when there was not one atom of evidence even to prove a common assault. Both these men ought to have been present. He (the coroner) had no doubt, were he to make an appli lication, that Mr. Walpole, the Home Secretary, would order the men to be produced. Mr. Davis, the house-surgeon, said the deceased died from extravasation of blood upon the brain, the result of a fall or blow. Verdict in accordance with such evidence, but how the violence occurred there was no evidence to the jury. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

Part X. By George Cruikshank. Longman and Company. The glorious Fat Knight's biography is now corns pleted, the vet acious and redoubtable Life and Ad ventures of Sir John Falstaff—illustrated resplen dently by the etching needle of George Cruikshank. The work makes a goodly tome of nearly, 200 octavo pages, embellished with " twenty", admirable and beautiful engravings. Altogether the book is the result of one of the happiest thoughts yet hit upon by our immortal George—and what happy thoughts he has had before now don't we all re member ? From his sketch of the drummer whose hair was tied so tight that he could'nt shut his eyes—to that of the little dog whose tail was curled upwards so stiffly that it lifted him off his hind legs I From those excruciating glimpses he has given us of the agonies of the Toothache, to the ever memorable drolleries illustrative of two de lightful ballads—the ballad of John Gilpin and the ballad of Lord Bateman. It was not very long ago that in the course of a charming paper in the Quarterly, Mr. Thackeray reminded us of how vividly Cruikshank's pencil takes us back in a twinkling to the days of the short-wsiisted ladies and of the high-collared and swallow-tailed gentlemen. His career as a pictorial humorist be ginning in those days—at the turn of the century —when he himself was yet in his boyhood. During this long artistic career of his, how largely we are all of us indebted to him for innocent and joyous laughter. Throughout this long lapse of half-as century, how fruitful his mind has been of the ludicrous. His political caricatures alone form a grand connecting link between the days of Gillray and those of H. B. His wonderfully facile pencil, while embellishing current literature abundantly, has adorned the reprints of many of our classic masterpieces. While, for example, he has been illustrating tba magazine fun of comicessayists like M. A. Titmarsh and Laman Blanchard, of minor novelists like Angus Reich and Frank Fairlegb, of grotesque miscellanies like his own Omnibus, and later still, his own short-lived but promising magazine --be has been giving visible form to the vivid imaginings of Boz in Oliver Twist, and to the wierd and fantastic dreamings of Ainsworth in his torical romances like Windsor Castle and the Tower of London—at the same time that he has touched into lifs, with that magic etching needle of his the ever delectanle masterpieces of our great elder hurneurists, Henry Fielding, and Tobias Smellett. Wonderful to tell among all the mani fold reprints of late years no publisher has dreamt of adverturing upon a reprint of the great and im mortal novels of Richardson —novels in their time the rage of the reading public—and novels we are very certain that would be bought eagerly nowa days, if only from very curiosity and for the :pur pose of placing them upon private bookshelves— supposing them to be republished in a cheap and popular form, and supposing them to be illustrated by the pencil of an artist-bus inourist like George Vruikehank. How dearly we should like to see his Sir Cnarles Grandison I With what a zest would he give us the perfect present ment of Miss Clarissa Harlowe ! Fancy his limn ing of the old beau, Soames—of the handsome rattle Lovelace ! Imagine his etching of the scenes in the silk-mercers, or of the grim family conclaves —of the bawd's deathbed —or, last scene of all in that eventful tragedy, the scene where Lovelace rages against himself like one distracted ! Is it idle, we wonder, ever to lripe for such a cheap, modern, popular illustrated edition of the works of Richardson ? We put is to the most speculative of our publishers. Perhaps, if the great houses of old might nst entertain the notion—Longman and Murrsy, for example—it might be taken in hand by such inn ortant firms as Messrs. Chapman and Hall, or Messrs. Smith and Eider, or by daring eh , lesale e-xporters like the Messrs. Routledge. It would be a benefaction to the reading public, and if judiciously arranged, we warrant it, the project would amply reply the adventurous speculation. All this of course arising out of one's recollection of what in a like way has already teen accomplished by the ingenious fancy and the skilful hand of G orge Ciuikshank. Falst , tiF, we repeat, is among the happiest of his producti xis. The letterprets, we grieve to note, has teen penned almost uniuteriuptedly through severe bodily suffering by Robert Brough, a comic writer who has elsewhere often delighted us by his whimsical fun, prose and poetical, dramatic and didactic. Corlially let us hope at least that the close of the present work may have been contempo raneous with the terrn:na`iou of the author's bodily ailmsnts. As for the artist's share in the work, it is past prase —it is admirable. Falstaff everywhere in these trully beautiful engravings is the true Fal staff of Sbakspere. Not the least strikingly in the two last etchings here bringing the score to its conclusion—one the discovery by Sir John of his haviug been tricked at Herne's Oak ; the other his famous deathbed s cene , where he is f um bli ng w i t h the sheets and smiling upon his fingers' ends, lying there with a nose as sharp as a pen, a-babbling o' green fields. T. BB POLICE OF PARIS. We glsan a few extracts from an able article on his important subject by M. Max Berthaud, which has just appeared in the Revue Contemporaine. We may premise that the authoradarits the princi ple followed in the departments, viz., that the muni •ipal police should exclusively belong to the Prefect of the Seine and the 12 mayors of Paris, the political police alone remaining in the hands of the Prefect of Police. This is, in fact, the great point of contention between the two authorities ; the Prefect of the Seine not only claiming the pre cedecc,, refused by his rival, but also the petite voire, or lighting, sweeping, and watering of the streets, and the clearing of the sewers, all of which the Prefect of Police clairne as absolutely necessary to his authority. Hi; functions, as detailed by M. Berth and are, indeed immense. "He can republish all the laws and regulations ; he has authority over all that concerns the petite voire, though his deci sions may be appealed from to the Minister of the Interior ; he has under his orders a commissary whose duty it is to watch, permit, or forbid the opening of shops, the establishment of permanent awnings projecting over the footpaths, and He t o superintend the conduct of itinerant vender can order the demolition of houses threatening re ti e t e r n ea ee ten i m e ! ruin ; superintends all the regulations g the rain-wa'er conduits and pipes, the circulation of hackney coaches, and the health of the city, particularly during the prevalence of epidemics; he can forbid the establishment of insalu brFous manufactories in the city, also of hospi tals and maisons de sante ; he can seize all diseased meat or other provisions ; he takes all the mea sures requisite for extinguishing fires or preventing them from spreading, and can in such cases press all csrpeuters, slaters, and other workmen into his service. Lastly, it is he who causes assistance to be given to the wounded, and to those who who have been rescued from a watery death." M. Berthaud here mentions what has been considered a just complaint against the manner in which the police, since 1850, rids the city of its night-soil, by turning it off into the S e i ne , i ns t ea d of h av i n g it carried away in night-carts. To this the author replies that a method having been discovered in 1850 for disinfecting night-soil, M. earlier,the then Prefect of Police, caused the methodh which investigated by the Council of Public Hea t t he , e w h andfound it to answer perfectly. It t h w ich infest the streets i t e h s a d t iMmi.nCisahrileigerh,ycausedthiitr‘vdtoas thebe put into i t s h r e ac li ti o c u e l , y t ' l of the offensive night-carts at a late hour. is another question Whetheraer large o which t sewerbe politichby e r turning g t trans. form the Seine into it, has been taken into t w h h e ie d b i , sin 3 f f e . ct ß ed ert m h a athe tt ed.say t s, administration.

There are in the streets 13,000 gas-burners, which are lighted in the course of about 20 minutes. The length of the gas pipes is 485,000 metres ; that of the water conduits 330,000 metro; ; and that of the sewers 163,000. The city contains between 32,000 and 33,000 houses, of which 6,863 are lodg ing -houses —that is, itthebited by a population re quiring a special surveillance. About 137,000 per sons cirmlat daily in carriag's; the omnibuses alone transport 25,000,000 last per annum ; and yet there only occurred last year 381 accidents) of w only 24 pro ve d f a t a l. Every year the population of Pars consumes 80,000,000 kilogrammese col o i 970,000 hectolitres of wino, 240,000 f t re s meat, e f h beer, and 78,000 hectolitres of b o r e an d d y quality and liqueurs. t The police has to verify the g these provisions, and thereforekeeps of all its eye upon 10,000 dealers in these articles."
