[N.B. We understand that private letters received by the Committee of the Capital Punishment Society confirmed the truth of the above paragraph. The Magistrates of Gloucester, we arc also informed, are investigating the circumstances.] Saturday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, a very lamentable accident happened in St. James's Park, near Story's-gate, to Mr. Booth, an extensive timber-merchant, of Bankside, Southwark. Mr. Booth was retuning home, being mounted on a high-spirited horse, when the animal took fright and galloped furiously across the Parade, towards Storey's gate: on reaching Storey's -gate, the horse came in violent contact with a carriage, the result of which was that the right leg of Mr. Booth was fractured in the most shocking manner. Although suffering severely, Mr. Booth kept his seat, whilst his horse proceeded down Great George -street ; at the corner of King-street he was thrown violently, arid broke the knee cap of his right leg, as also the thigh bone. The unfortunate gentleman was taken up in a state of insensibility, and con veyed to the residence of Mr. M'Cann, surgeon, of Parlia ment-street, who set the fractures.

(From the Leeds intelligencer of Stqurday-) TRADE OF LEEDS.—There is scarcely any business doing in Leeds at present, either in balk or manufactured goods, and there is very little prospect of any immediate 4 21;iendrne , st. The state of the Money Market paralyses the energy of o.w merchants, and makes them exceedingly cautious as to eL'er- ing into any new contracts. The stock of goods in the OW. Hall is kept down, and there is consequently comparatively little employment for the working classes. BRADFORD MARKET.—Our Report of this market on Thursday is anything but gratifying. Very little business was done in manufactured goods, and prices were merely no minal ; in Wool and Yarns scarcely any sales were effected, and those nt falling prices. HALIFAX MARKET, on Saturday last, was very flat, flatter than the week before ; prices stationary. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, APRIL 17 . —Few pieces of any kind have been sold to-day, and if the market does not speedily take a more favourable turn it is supposed many hands will be thrown out of employment. Broken Wool and Noils have been easier to buy to-day, and at prices somewhat lower than those of last week. NIANCHESTEII.—There was no particular change in the market yesterday. We believe some kinds of power-loom cloth were selling at lower prices than was ever before known ; but still there did appear somewhat more of a disposition to purchase, and rather increased symptoms of a conviction that nrices are not far from having arrived at their extreme point of depression. Export yarns were duller and lower ; but here tofore, they have been considerably higher in proportion than other yarns. We believe the spinners in many parts of the country contemplate the taking off from the wages of their hands those advances which the latter received when trade was brisk a few months ago.— Guardian. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—We are sorry to say that the trale of Nottingham continues in a very bad state in every branch. The glove trade of Worcester psrtakes of that depression which now so generally pervades the manufacturing interests. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.

There has been a moderate demand for Cotton throughout the week, which has been more freely supplied, and the market closes heavily with a decline of d. per lb. in the middle and lower qua lities of American. Egyptian continues very unsaleable. In Brazil the better qualities of Pernam-and Bahia are calcable at full prices. Maranham is in very limited demand at former rates.

April 21, 1837 Same time, 1836 303,600 158,000 The intelligence received last night from New York, as soon as it became generally known this morning, gave the greatest satisfaction to commercial men. The promptitude with which the Bank of the United States and the banks of New York and Philadelphia came forward to support credit, which had received so terrible a shock by the advices received from Liverpool of the 4th of March, is the theme of universal praise. A large amount of the bonds issued by the American banks has come into the hands of our merchants, and they promise to he a favourite description of security. Confidence, which had been affected by the previous advices from the United States, showed symptoms of revival, under the belief that the American merchants would not only be able to meet all the demands upon them, but even to meet some portion of those demands by the transmission of specie. In the course of the day the failure of a house in the American trade was announced. The house in question sustained, it is under stood, serious losses by the importation of cotton about two years ago—losses which have, doubtlessly, been i ucreased by the recent failures in New Orleans. The Cotton-market is steady to-day. The New York packets arrived at Liverpool bad, it is said, brought nearly 20,000 sovereigns, on account of Messrs. W. and T. Brown and Co., of Liverpool. We regret to say that the glove trade of this city partakes of that depression which now so generally pervades the manufacturing interests of the kingdom.— Worcester Herald. The provincial and Irish papers received yesterday morning from all parts of the country complain grievously of the inclement state of the weather, and the backward condi tion of vegetation, which makes the keep of cattle a serious drawback on the farmer. In many places hay is not to be had, and there is no grass. BRAMFORD ►PEKE.—An extraordinary pheno menon has just occurred in this parish. During a snow storm very early on Monday morning, a large quantity of black worms, each about three quarters of an inch long, fell in the village and neighbouring fields.— Western Luminary. The exportatio❑ of gold and silver coin and bullion t-om the port of London to foreign ports, is on the increase, and the amount so degpatched;for the past week, ending the 18th ingtant, is as under : Gold coin to the Cape of Good Hope Ditto to Ceylon Shyer coin to British West Indies Ditto, to Madras The United States Secretary of Legation, Mr. Theodore Fay, has taken a mansion in George-street, Hanover square. The thermometer, which stood at 60 out of doors on Thursday morning, sunk six degrees before noon, and, in all, It degrees in the ensuing 24 hours. An Irish gentleman being asked whether he meant to look at the eclipse of the moor, on Thursday evening, re plied, " No ; had not I a ticket for the private view yester day ?" An experithent, possessing much interest and im portance to the rearers of silk worms, has just been made at Epinal, by which it appears that the leaves of the scorzenera, a plant well known h 1 the culinary art, have been used with much success for feeding those valuable insects. The Director of the Medical School at Constantino ple has been charged with making an attempt to poison the Sultan. It appears he bad prepared a draught, respecting which there was some suspicion, and which he was directed to take himself. Upon his refusal be was put into a sack and thrown into the Bosphorus. On the examination of the drink, it was declared to be poisoned. Since this event, the direction of the imperial medical staff had been confined to the Seraskier. For several weeks past a considerable number of spots have appeared on the sun's disc, some of which were very large, with a penumbral i shade around th em ; ot h ers were winch smaller, and have beet! n curved or circular groups, and sometimes arranged in a line nearly straight. There are at present two or three large ones near the eastern limb, and others not so large nearer the west, which may easily be seen with a telescope of small magnifying power, and a coloured glass to prevent the strong light fro►n injuring the eye. . Queen Elizabeth on one occasion danced in her 68th year ; the occasion was a masque at Blackfriars, on the mar riageof Lord Herbert and Mrs. Russell. Eight lady dan. eers.chose eight men to dance the measures. Mrs. Fitton, who led them, went to the Queen and wooed her to dance. Agjesty, asked who she was. " Affection," she said. "-Affection!" said the Queen, " Affection is false."—(At this tiinorhe and Essex had split.) Yet immediately after the Queen rose and danced. Wheat. 1 Barley. Oau.

It appears, by the following extract of a letter from Lisbon,.l f L 'at another trial is to be made of the relative qualities of the i„ e ctstant and Pique, the result of which, it is confidently an- ; ticipatCd by the officers of both frigates, will be as decisive of the supesjority of the former as of trials heretofore :—.

WHEAT. —The highest price of the best Wheat in Paris is 23f. per 11 hectolitre, which is equal to 355. 3d. per Eng lish quarter. The highest price of the best Essex and Kent Wheat in London being 665. per quarter, the difference is 30s. 9d. per quarter dearer in London than in Paris, or 874 pot cent. and the same money which in London buys but eight bushels of Wheat, is in Paris the value of fifteen bushels of the finest quality. FLOUR.—The highest price of flour of the "first mark" in Paris is 47 francs per 159 kilogrammes, corresponding with 295. Bd. per English sack of WBOlbs. The highest price of the best " town made" flour in London is 555. per sack, showing fine Flour to be 255. 4d. per sack dearer in London than in Paris, or 85i- per cent. ; and that the 555. which in London can procure but 2801b5., will in Paris purchase 5191b5. of the finest Flour. The seasonable rain which has at length arrived, will, it is to be hoped, give the long-wished-for spur to re tarded vegetation.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed cat.c against a rule for a mandamus, requiring the d e f en d ants to dcliter up ce r • ton books, accou n t s , an other thitKs alleged to be the property of the corporation of Gateshead. Tie ansaei was that the borough of Gateshead never bad poss'ssed a corporation till the Municipal Reform Act, and conse quently there was no corporat , l body on which the present corporation had a right to make a call of this sort. The Court. thinking that there had not been formerly a corpo ration in Gateshead, discharged the rule. THE KING V. RICKETTS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was heard in Clawing, cause against a rule for quashing certain writs de contain:tee capiendo issued against the defendant for non-payment of rates. The objections to the writs depended on the alleged departure from the form given in the Act as to the descrip tion of the sheriff who was to execute them, and the Judge by whom they had been ordered. The Court postponed the decision of the case till another rule arising out of the same proceedings should have been argued. BAIL COURT.--FRIDAY. MARGOTSON V. TRUGGHE. • Mr. CHILTON appeared for the plaintiff: It was an ac tion to recover the sum of 80/. Mr. Margotson, the plain tiff, a leather merchant by trade, while on a trip to Paris, thinking that he would combine business with pleasure, gave to the defendant, Monsieur Trugghe, a cormn'sson agent, an order for goods, which, to the amount of 80/., were to -be sent over to England. The money was paid on the spot, but the goods did not make their appearance. The plaintiff then put the affair into the hands of another French man, whose miscellaneous avocations as a " general dealer" came under the same non-description as that 'of the de ' f:.ndant himself. All that Monsieur could :get out of Monsieur Trugghe was an indirect admission of the debt, as well as of his having since appropriated the money to his own use. When asked to write to the plaintiff he objected, saying, " I am a bankrupt, and I should not like Monsieur Margotson to prevent my creditors agreeing with we. If I write him a letter I shall commit myself, for we in France think a letter from the debtor to the creditor a strong proofL' of the debt being due." Mr. Margotson, the plaintiff, had, therefore, now no resource but to proceed against Monsieur Trukghe in an English Court cf Law for the amount paid to him ; but the defendant did not appear.— The Jury found for the plaintiff. SATURDAY. DAVIS V. SAXLY, JUN. This was an action of assault brought by the. plaintiff, a tailor at Newbury, in Berks, against the defendant, a malt , ster of the same place. In June last the met at a public-house called the Green Man, about five miles from Newbury. The plaintiff asked the defendant, in a jocular tone, whether he did not expect a " little chap" (i.e., an illegitimate child) from the country, at the same time ob serving that he (defendant) had sent one there. An alter. cation ensued, and when the parties got into the road the defendant struck plaintiff over the head with a heavy riding whip, knocked him down, and caused a severe wound on *lie forehead. The plaintiff was removed from the road, in stn irmansible state, to the public-house, where hia wound urns subnnquently dressed by a surgeon. The plaintiff was unable, in consequence of the injury rectived, to attend to has business until the following August, in addition to which the bill .of the medical man amounted to more than 101. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, .-;0-1:' coURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Ariz, 22. 'T HE MAYOR OF BATH V. FINCH. Mr. Sergeant Dom: , As moved for a;tieio show cause why the defendant ,should not permit the coutinuance of certain works upon h.'s premises, in obedience to an order of Court, or why an attachment should not be issued against him for non-compliance sn,th that order. This was an ac tion brought by the Mayor aod Corporation of Bath against the defendant, a brewer, to mlover compensation for the injury which they had sustained in consequence of the de ll fendant sinking a well on his premises so deep as to divert the warm waters from the well-knekivn baths of this city ; and, when it came before Mr. Baron Alderson for trial, an agreement was entered into, to the eft:stet that' the plaintiffs should, at their own expense, stop up the aperture, reserv ing as nearly as possible the same quantity of cold water for the defendant's well as it originally,lteld. A verdict was entered for plaintiff with nominal dani.-ges ; and an or der of Court was drawn up, by which it as further ar ranged that two gentlemen should appoint a surveyor to superintend the works for a period of two years. A surveyor of the name of Armstrong was appointed, and he directed certain steps to be taken in order to .top up the aperture ; a weyll, however, having subse quently fallen in, it was discovered that the only method which could be adopted was to sink another well by the side of the original one, and to bore through. A place was pointed out where the other well might be sunk, and it then became necessary to procure a steam-engine, in or der to carry on the work. Here, however, the defendant put a stop to all proceedings ; he declared that he could not allow the continuance of a plan calculated unfairly to interrupt or destroy his business, as he was sure that he could not be the intention of the order. Now, Mr. Arm strong stated that it was impossible - to stop the aperture without sinking a ivell, and having a steam-engine for that purpose. The COURT—You may take a Rule to show cause. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Anti', 22. EDWARDS V. ALISON. This was an action for breach of covenant. The declara tion stated that, before the time set forth, the plaintiff had had in his employ a young man, named William Noseberry, who had quitted his service, and gone into the service of the defendant, and that previously to his quitting the plaintiff's service, the plaintiff had, given permission to him to do so, upon the - promise of the defetWant to pay to him, the plaintiff,twenty pounds. The breach assigned was, that. the defendant had refused to pay the 201. To this defendant pleaded first, that he did not so promise ; secondly, that the said William Nose berry was not the servant of the plaintiff; and, thirdly, that Noseberry, not being the servant of the plaintiff, plain tiff's permission was not necessary to enable Noseberry to leave ; and that he (lid not, therefore, quit such service and enter into that of the defendant. There was also a plea of fraud and misrepresentation, by which defendant said he was induced to enter into the contract with plaintiff. At the trial of the cause before Mr. Baron Gurney, at the sittings during the present term, a verdict was found in favour of the defendant. Mr. HUMFREY this (lay moved for a rule, calling on the ('&'endan to show cause why this verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection by the Learned Judge. Mr.Birron GURNEY remarked that the plaintiff had been guilty of rather sharp practice. Mr. HUMFREY observed that the plaintiff was a piano forte maker, whose business it was to deal in sharp.— (A laugh.) The COURT suggested that the better course would be fur the plaintiff to take out a summons to hear the matter before Mr. Baron Gurney at chambers, with reference to the third plea, which must be divided into two parts, and if upon the hearing he should decide in plaintiff's favour on the one head plaintiff might move for a rule to enter up judgment non obstanie veredicto. CONSISTORY COURT, ArRIL 22. WALKER V. WALKER. This was originally a suit for divorce, on the grounds of cruelty, promoted by Mrs. Walker against her hus band. An allegation to that effect liras given in, which was answered on behalf of Mr. Walker by another allegation, pleading adultery to have been committed by his wife, but which was again counterpleaded by her, alleging both cruelty and adultery. Dr. ADDAMS, on behalf of Mrs. Walker', contended that there was not the slightest ground for any imputation against his client. The Learned JUDGE said that., though he had not much doubt as to the actual result of the suit, he would post pone his decision. Dr. Ernst Forster has discovered a great: number of fine paintings of the 14th century in a chapel at Padua, which had long been employed as a depository for old timber and va rious articles. The paintings were covered with a sort of slime, on the removal of nhich they appeared in excellent pre servation. German Paper. SCIENTIFIC IMPROVEMENTS IN PIANOFORTES. —We some time since alluded to the important improvements introduced into grand pianofortes by Messrs. Zeitter and Co., Nos. 4 and 5, New Cavendish-street, Portland-place, London, and patented by them. We are happy to learn that they have been duly appreciated by the public. Zeitter's instruments are now universally introduced into the music-rooms of the Nobility and Gentry ; and the leading professors (who have all played on them) declare that the power and brilliancy of tone produced by the new sounding-board are such as must ensure the approbation and preference of all competent judges. The leading merit of the invention is, that net only is the quality of tone wonderfully superior, but it increases by use of the instru ment, being on a principle somewhat similar to the violin. The following account of the temperature of the %scattier is taken from the doorway of Messrs. Swain and Co., Fleet-street, during one week in 1836, and the corresponding week in 1837 : 16th April, 183(1 -11 1 ith 18th - 16th April, 1837 17th 18th - 19th 57 20th 21st 551 55 19th 20th 4_ 21st 50 53 46 According to a meteorological register kept by Dr. Burney, at Gosport, the late month of March was colder by 51 degrees than the average temperature of that month for 21 years, and 4 degree colder than any. THE TRINITARIAN BIBLE (KORAN ?) SOCIETY. AiWORD or TWO of FRIENDLY EXPOS ti.. TUL ATION on the USE of the TERM TRINITY. By A MEMBER of the CHURCH of ENGLAND. Can it be true, that a dozen or two of the " haughty name," Theologians, have designedly brought their title into close—imme diate —contact with that of a Bible—a Bible !—Society ?
