W A RICE TYNDALE, Secretary. 17, 3racechurch-street, Monday, May 18th, 1857. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, MAT 19. Nothing has occurred to give an impulse to the trade of this district since our last report, and the cloth-market continues exceedingly dull. There is a general indisposi tion to operate among buyers, and manufacturers would have had to make a further concession in price to force sales, which is a course they are unwilling to adopt in the present state of the market for the raw material. Those who are able to hold their goods prefer doing so at prisent, but this is not the case with many of our producers. A de crease of production, by adopting short time, is still talked of, and a meeting to agree upon terms has been convened for that purpose. With the exception of the makers of I domestics, perhaps there will be a difficulty in such an arrangement, because, bad as things are, they are not bad enough, in cases where manufacturers have large quanti ties of cottage property let to their mill operatives, to in duce the sacrifice which is implied in working short time under such circumstances. The makers of domestics have been driven by the over-production of these cloths and the unremunerative state of prices to adopt this course more generally than might have been expected. In other breaches of the trade millowners are not in every case waiting to see what their neighbours are willing to do, but have adopted a course for themselves. In Preston alone we hear of two large millownors having stopped their mills, and others in various pa r t s o f th e di s t r i c t h ave reduced their production to three and four days' work per week. There is not only a want of confidence among buyers in the pre sent high prices caused by the dearness of cotton, but the opinions generally prevalent are that silk and almost all kinds of produce are too high and with these feelings they are unwilling to operate for more than immediate wants, and carefully avoid any business of aspeculative character. In yarns there is the same lack of animation as in cloth, and, notwithstanding the recent rise in the raw material, spinners have in some cases had to make a concession this morning of id. per lb. in yarns to effect sales. The little business done has been chiefly for Germany, and there is some inquiry for India consequent on the letters to hand by the overland mail, but it has not yet led to business. The failure of a spinner at Middleton, with liabilities equal to about 25,000/., and advicos from La Guayra, in South America, to the effect that a mercantile house there had stopped payment, have had a bad effect here. The chief creditors of the latter house are a firm in London, and another in Hamburg, but three houses in Manchester will probably lose somethin g like 10,000/. Messrs. John Slag and Co. report :—" There is no change in the market since our last report. There is still a fair demand for long cloths and T cloths at former rates, but for all other kinds, and especially for India and China goods, the market continues exceedingly flat. We cannot, however, quote my change in prices, for there is as yet no accumulation of stocks, but the general tendency is in fa vour of buyers. CANCER HOSPITAL, London and West Brompton.--Becretary's Office, 167, Piccadilly.—This Institn ion has been established exclusively for the treatment of the poor afflicted with cancerous diseases.

[hitspy 4D• STAMPED 5.9.] 'BETTING-HOI7SES. I Mr. Chaa - ges Thorpe,.of Barnes-lodge, and 124, Jermyn street, appeared before Mr. Beadon, at Marlborough-Arent Police-court, on an adjourned summons which charged him with keeping an office at 124, Jerrnyn-street, for the purpose of betting. on horse races: The magistrate, Mr. Deadon, who heard the summons last week, consented to an adjournment, on the ground, as put forward by Mr. S. B. Abrahams, who appeared, for the defendant,. that the defendant was taken by surprise ; that evi deuce could most likely be obtained to rebut the evidence of the police, one constable, Draper, in particular, kaing deposed to the fact of seeing a bet mad e by` ri person .named Williams with the defendant, who received a sovereign; and that the defendant expected to be called upon to answer an offence under warrant obtained, in the first instance, by the pOlicu from the commissioners, and not under a different dame in the act. Mr. Abrahams. was sorry . to say that a week's diligent inquiry had not enabled Mr. Thorpe to obtain contradictory evidence ; but on the part of Mr. Thorpe, he would confidently ask the Court to dismiss the summons, there being, as he should show;no sufficient evidence in support of the charge, to bring his - Oki:lnt within the opera tion of the act. When the police made the seizure under the conimisioners' warrant, it was naturally expected by Mr. Thorpe that the proceedings would betaken against him under that warrant, but when the summons was i,sued under another section a the act, Ir, Thorpe was taken by surprise, and was finable at once to call witnesses on his own behalf. Looking, however, at the evidence that had been produced, he would respectfully submit that Mr. Thiurpe hgcl nothing to answer. ~,,Itwas first neoes sary to prove that Mr. Thorpd was the owner or occupier of the office in Jermyn-street. There was no proof of this, the proof being the other way. In spector Webb having produced a document, un stamped, it was true, but that was not material, which clearly showed that not Mr. Thorpe, but _ . another person, was' the owner and occupier of the office. He contended unless there was positive proof—negative o'r circumstantial proof would not do—Uf Mr. Thorpe being the owner or occupier of the house, that no conviction could take place under the act. With respect to the betting-books and betting-cards found on the premises, they were old documents relating to races years ago, and had been overlooked by the police in the seizure they made some time ago, on which occasion Mr. Thorpe was convicted. Then, as respec'ed the testimony of the police, that could not be relied upon—it was nec,s sarily tainted—the police having been made wit nesses essentially for the purpose of procuring a conviction. If epics were permitted togo into a man's . noose to procure evidence, under a highly penal statute, then no man's person or property was safe. He would not allude to the hardship of se lecting Mr. Thorpe, and allowing others, moving in a higher grade, to go scot free ; but he would say that it would be not only wrong, but danger ous, to convict any man on the unsupported evi dence of witnesses whom he must regard as spies. Mr. Beadon—l am not sorry that I gave time for ifurther inquiry. I did so at the time reluct antly, because I did not see that anything could come from an adjournment, but now I do not re gret having acceded to the request for further time. No answer has been made to thd case, which stands precisely as it did on the first occasion. The way the case comes before me is this :—The defendant Thorpe is summoned, under the third section of the Betting House Act, for keeping a howe for purposes Orbetting, he being the occupier of the house. The proof of this being a betting-office, and the defendant Thorpe the occupier, rests, first, on the evidence of Inspector Webb, who states that from a house opposite, or thereabouts, he saw not betting, but the defendant Thorpe open the door from the inside at ten o'clock iu the morning, and that dtiring the day a large number of persons went in and out of the house. Then comes the evidence of police-constable Draper, and I am not astonished at the attacks that have been levelled at the police ; for on their testimony the prcof rests of whether this . house was used for the pur pose of betting or not. It has been agreed that nothing should be said against the superintendent, who was only carrying out the orders of his supe riors, but the same observations apply with equal force to the constables, who were acting under the express orders of their superintendent, the instruc tions police-constable Draper said be received being those that he was to go to the defendant's house, see what took place, and report accordingly. No doubt the constable was aware of the character of the house, there having been a previous conviction of Thorpe. The constable says his orders wero to see what was taking place ; if anything connected with betting occurred to report what he saw, with tb&view to future steps. The constable swore that he saw parties enter the house, that he heard one person ask the odds on Leamington, that the defendant Thorpe stated what odds he would give, that the person put down a sovereign, and that Thorpe entered something in a book which he took from his pocket. Without saying, what I certainly do not intend to say, that the police have come here wilfully and abominably to perjure them slves, can I doubt what I am to do ? I am in no difficulty on that point. The police have done what they were toll to do, and they appear to have represented faithfully what they saw and heard: Some remarks have been made about no betting books having been found, or only old books relat thin- to old races. But it must be recollected that the ° defendantThorpe, who had been seen making Last night Mr. anger, Surrey, resumed at Mr. Tavern, Chttrch-strut, inquiry tcni , iiitig, the death ot . yeaF:. who was found drowned inll7tjiV47.r Thames under vcry extraordinary and ntystericuc circumstance:. Mary Tilling, of 16, Lower-street, Islington, said that the deceased was - her servant. She last saw her alive on Wednesday evening. She had been•in her service since the Ist of October.. Shla left her home to go to the Rev. Mr. Hambledon to be ex amined prior to being confirmed. She l had since hoard that her body had been found in the river. By the Coroner—She had not the least apprehen sion that she had done anything to destroy her own life. Her g eneral conduct w as goo d, an d s h e was strictly moral and religious. Upon rinciing that she did not return at a reasonable hour at night, - witness had a messenger sent to. the clergyman's residence to inquire after her, but no tidings could be gleaned of her until her body was found in the • river. ~A t, James Hathvvell, 22, Highbury-terrace, said that he att-ended a meeting at the house of the Rev. Mr. Hambleton on Wednesday last. He saw the deceased there, and also after the meeting, at 20 minutes to 9 o'clock, when she was going t:) t'le City-road. Witness's friend said that that was not the way to her home. She was in his p►tiesen e about five minutes, and he saw no one join her. Having seen her at "class," he tool: no particular notice of her beyond remembering-that she was pre paring for confirmation. By the Coroner—He knew nothing of deceased beyond being a class-mate for confirmation. . The mistress of the deceased stated that she never stopped out of a night, awl never went out "wit ',lout her sanction. John Harubl3ton said that he was a clerk in holy orders, and minister of the chapel of ease at Isling ton. He had been preparing young females and wales for confirmation by the bishop on the 15th of June next. Hi had 50 candiea'.;es to exa i ine. T young men were in one room with open folding ' doors, and the females in another, and he sat be.; tween them. W tneFs noticed that deceased 'took an interest in reading the Scriptures. She appeared perfeft bane and collected.' Mr. W. French Wagstaffe, surgeon, of Walcot place, said he had never seen the deceased until he had received his orders to make an autopsy of the body. He examined the body externally in the firstinstance, and found no injury to account for death. Upon opening the body he found the vis cera of the chest healthy, and also the lungs, which were congested with dark blood, hardly ccagula'o. The heart was empty, and there was nothing to lead him to suppose that she had been garotted and thrown into the water, or that her virtue was tainted. The mother of the girl said that she lived at No. 4, Angel-court, Strand, and that she saw her daughter alive ab )ut a fortnight ago, when she came home on a visit; with the consent of her mis __ tress. She had been'in her situation seven months, and was very comfortable, and bore a most excel lent character both as a moral and industrious person. - Thos. Hart, of Tower-street, proved finding the body on Thursday last, in the Thames, off the Bel videre-road, which he handed over to police-con stable Cannon, No. 69 I division. It was further proved that deceased, when she left, bad a bible ' and 14d. in her possession, but when she was found she had only a halfpenny in her pocket. --- 6uTin4&past month the following number received the beneflts of this Charity, either as out or in-door patients. on their personal application : Week ending 7th February , 2,095 Ditto 14th February .... • • 2,351 Ditto 21st February .... • • 2,650 Ditto 28th February , : 2,890 Total in February •• •• • 9, 9 86 f which 3,379 were new cases, the remainder (still under treat ment) having been admitted previously. The clergy of all denominations have unlimited access to the patients. Heavy expenses are inevitably incurred in affording such exten sive relief. The Committee, therefore, earnestly entreat the aid of he public. The management of the Hospital is in the hands of 30 Governors, yearly elected from the general list of subscribers, at the Annual General Meeting in January. A Board is held every Thursday, a, 4 o'clock (Rev. J. B. Owen, Chairman), to conduct the business, when any subscriber may attend, if so disposed, the Board being at all tlinca desirous of receiving suggestions or giving explanation. The Hospital is not endowed, but is wholly dependent on volun tary contributions and legacies, which are received by the Treasurer, Deacon, John Masterman, Esq., M.P., Nicholas-lane ; also by Messrs.

By order, J , B. OWEN, MA., Chairrap. Nets, made his escape when the police entered his house, and no doubt cat lied away the betting-book. The real question is not whether bets were made, but whether such things were not going on as would constitute a the place a betting office within the meaning of the act. The police say they heard the odds named on horses. Now can any one in their senses who heard the evidence on the first oc cwion venture to assert, unless he was prepared to say that the police had wilfully perjured themselves, that the house was not opened for purposes of bet ting, and that bets were going on ? I cannot sea anything to the contrary. The next question to determine is this—is the defendant Thorpe, aye or no, the occupier of the house, and it was that point which decided me in agreeing to an adjournment, at a time when I had in my hand an unstamped agreement, which professed to show that the house had been let to a person named Costellano. Now the defendant might have called Costellano to say "I am the occupier of the house, and in possession, and if Mr. Thorpe is making bets he is doing so on his own account, and has no business to do so." But no one has been called, and not a word has been said to that effect. This document, then, I look upon as one of the worst features of the case. The document is evidently spurious, and it was intended it should be found to show that Thorpe was not the occupier of the house. But not only was Thorpe there, but his wife was there also taking money. The document was put where it was found for the purpose of deceiving. lam of opinion that Thorpe was the owner and occupier of the house, holding it for the purposes of betting, notwithstanding the conviction that has already taken place beers me. As far as the question of conviction is concerned I have no difficulty or hesi tation in convicting. I have previously stated that as long as the law remains as it is I will carry it out, and as a magistrate I will not shrink from my duty, however painful that duty may be. I have convicted the defendant heavily before and no effect has been produced. The books found by the police, though bearing the dates 1853 and 1854 relate to races in 1857. Feeling, therefore, as I do, that the defendant Thorpe will not take warning by the infliction of a fine, it is my intention not to inflict a fine, but to sentence him to two months' hard labour. Mr. Thorpe appeared to be quite overcome by this sentence. Mr. Abrahams gave notice of appeal, and applied for bail. ' Mr. Beadon agreed to accept bail, the defendant in 3001., and two sureties in 1501. each. An application was afterwards made to Mr. Bea don to alter his sentence. Mr. Thorpe was ready to pay any fine, and in addition to make a hand some donation to the poor-box. Mr. Beadon said, high or low, rich or poor, he was determined to carry out the law, quite irre spective of parties. He could not alter his judg -meat. LEICESTER, MAT' 19. The hcsiery tradefor common plain goods continues very flat; There is a slight business doing in gloves and fancies for the American and German markets, but most branches of trade are very dull. Wools and yarns continue very high. In the country districts great inactivity pervades the hosiery trade. LEEDS, MAY 19. A very quiet tone, even for a Tuesday's m ar k e t , h as pre vailed in the cloth halls this morning, and purchases have been made on a small scale. The attendance of merchants was not numerous, and the improved feeling manifested on Saturday appears to have subsided. lITJDDERSFIELD, MAY 19. . . Trade hero continuos without improvement. P urc h ases are made with much caution, and to a very limited extent. A quiet aspect prevails in all departments of the cloth business, there being no desire to speculate and an entire absence of animation. Within the last few days Messrs. Hastings Brothers have suspended payment, their liabili ties being about 11,0001. This morning the stoppage of Mr. Walter Lodge has been announced. Some few months ago Mr. Lodge was made bankrupt, but the bankruptcy was afterwards annulled. This statement called forth applause in court. Bail was tendered and accepted, and the defend ant left the court. MULTIPLICITY OP SUDDEN DEATHS IN THE METROPO. us. —Yesterday Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, held seve ral inquests at the eastern parts of the metropolis re venting the deaths of persons who died very suddenly. The chief portion of the cases were taken in the districts St. Mary, Whitechapel, St. George's-in-the-East, St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, St. Leonard, Shoreditch, St. Dunstan, Stepney, and St. John, Wapping. The same coroner also received information of other sudden deaths which were alleged to have been accelerated from the sudden chewy of the weather.

The.second race of.the season took place on Monday evening, the boats starting at an earlier hour than usual, viz. 7 o'clock, by order of the University Boat Club. The attendauce was more numerous than on the previous evening, and again in c l u d e d many l a d ies and sen i or mem bers of the University. The boats, precisely at the hour named, started in the following order-1, Exeter ;2, Wadham ; 3, B slliol ; 4, University ; 5, Christ Church; 6, Oriel • 7; Trinity ; 8, .13rasenose ; 9, Queen's ; 10, Pembroke ; 11, Lincoln; 12, St. John's ; 13, Worcester; 14, Jesus.

YACHTING. , PRINCE 01? WALES YACHT CLUB. A most spirited and excellent race t)ok place yester day amongst the yachts of this popular club. It was the first match of the metropolitan yachting season, and it is questionable whether any that may succeed it during the summer will be fraught with a greater amount of variety and interest. The following were the contending yachts : Yachts. Tons, Owners. Silver Cbud Julia 7 P. Turner, Esq. Valentine Little Mosquito... 8 The course was from Erith to the Chapman Head and back, and there were no less than three pieces of plate for the four boats. The prizes, indeed, far exceeded any thing before given. The first was a very handsome sil ver cup and cover, by Benson, weighing upwards of 60 ounces, and to this was added two goblets for the second and third boats. The Osiad steamer was chartered by the club for the occasion, and most capitally provisioned and conducted by R. Wheeler, the skipper of the boat. She was crowded with genteel company, including Messrs. Hooper, Hutchinson, Ridgway, Turner, and many other gentlemen of the Royal Thames, Royal London, and other great clubs, and the fleet of yachts accompanying the race was very large. There was a nice light wind from the west ward, and at 12 h. 23 min. the signal was fired for starting. The Valentine took the lead, follow ed by the Mosquito, Julia and Silver Cloud, all making a very rapid and excellent start. Their light and beautilul spars were instantaneously covered with canvas, and with a spanking breeze aft, they pur sued their way with a variety of changes, which it would be tedious to record, but in which the greatest nautical skill was developed. Off Purfleet the Julia passed the Mosquito and Valentine, and the Silver Cloud following in her wake went into the second place. The wind short ening the lead alternated amongst the whole four, who were so evenly matched in running, that the beat judges were timid at speculating very heavily upon the result, Throughout their course they formed some very beau tiful picture?, and just before flood began to make, the little fleet arrived at the Chapman Head in the follow ing order : b. rnin, sec. Julia Silver Cloud ...... 2 . Mosquito Valentine They had shifted canvas to beat against the dead noser, and rigged as snugly as possible, commenced their work. Within a mile of the Chapman, the little Mos quito, admirably handled, weathered the Silver Cloud, and then rapidly overhauled the Julia, passing under her lee into the first place, which she never forfeited. In turning and reaching, she was alike undeniable, and gal lantly maintained the pride of place to the finish, which was as follows : h. 711113. sec. Mosquito ' 6 Silver Cloud Julia Valentine The Julia had gone aground at Holehaven, and was consequently much delayed. The weather was delight ful, and everything passed off most agreeably. • According to letters from Shanghai the exports from that port for the half-year end►ng the 31st of Dec. last are stated to have amounted to about 7,500,000/., and to have been balanced by imports of goods to the extent of about 1,850,00g,' of opium, 2,000,000/, and of opeoie 3,660,0004 LOCAL SHARE MARKETS.

CONVERSION OF IRON INTO STEEL.—The Abbe Pau vert, a French clergyman and Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, has, it is said, at length solved the problem of converting English iron into steel. M. Mesuli, acting on behalf of the abbe, has made experiments in the dock yard, Woolwich, during the last week, by authority of the Government and in the presence of the principal officers of the Engineer department and other official personages. He has succeeded in proving to their sati'- faction that he can . produce steel of very superior qual ity from the most ordinary cast and puddled iron, and pieces of iron in any state, at an extraordinary reduction in price. M. Pauvert has secured his invention by a patent from the British Government. The articles of newly invented steel tested at the dockyard were clipping tools, e,hisels, taps, dies, and other instruments in gene ral use in factories. The conversion of the metal does not require the slightest 2bange in the arrangements of the melting furnace, the system being composed of chemical operations alone. A favourable report was on Friday for warded to the Admiralty, in consequence of which it is expected that the steel will be employed in many of the ordinary purposes for which iron is now ,used, such as piston-rods, springs, &c. , PEACE SOME . M—The annual meeting of this society was held last evening in Finsbury Chapel, Mr. Charles Hindley, M.P., in the chair. The abstract of the re port, read by the Rev. Henry Richards, the secretary, commenced by regretting that after the conclusion of the war with Russia there should have been hostilities with Persia and China, and fears of outbreaks of Italy and America. Lectures had been given and public meetings held during the past year for the benefit of the society in London and its suburbs, and in most of the principal towns in England, Wales, and Scotland. Up wards of 600,000 publications, advocating peace prin ciples, had been in circulation during the' past year ; and pamphlets, circulars, bills, and placards, showing the horrors of war and the blessings of peace, bad also been circuiated during the recent election in the differeet shires and boroughs by a separate organisation, formed for electoral purposes, for which funds had been expressly raised. The present position of the peace cause was a source of sorrow and regret to the committee, it being believed by them that a warlike and unchristian spirit was abroad, but at the same time it was believed that the cause must finally triumph, and wars cease from one end of the world to the other. The official account showed the total income for the past year to have been 1,538/. ls., and the total expenditure 1,2101. 18s. id., leaving a balance in favour of the society . o f 3171, 1 2s. lid, RARING BURGLARY. One of the most daring and deliberate burglaries on record was perpetrated early on Monday morn ing last on the premises of Mr. Pindar Worth, farmer, in the parish of Scotherne, Lincolnshire. Soon after midnight Mr. Worth was aroused by a noise in the house, and both he and his wife got up, when they observed a light on the staircase. They opened the bedroom door, when they were met by three penions, two of them armed with guns, and the third carrying what appeared to be a Lrge spear or dagger. Mr. Worth asked them what they wanted ? One of them said, " We'll soon let you see," and immediately advanced, at the same time presenting their weapons at Mr. Worth, and demanding his money. Mrs. Worth had slipped away into another sleeping room, and awakened her daughters, the eldest of whom at this moment rushed between the thieves and her father, and, standing in Vont of the latter, de clared they should not hurt him. This courageous act baffled them for a moment, but after a short pause they said they did not want to hurt him if he would give up his money and plate quietly, but if he d.d not they would shoot him. Mr. Worth told them that all the money he had in the house was 71., which was in his trousers' pocket, and of this the burglars quickly possessed themselves, and then demanded more, saying they knew that there was plenty more in the house. One of Mr. Worth's younger daughters said her father had told the truth, and that if the home was pulled down by the intruders they would not get any more. One of the fellows replied, " - We'll see ; we'll burn the house down and sift the ashes ra ther than miss it." Another of the young girls assured the miscreants that her father kept his money in the bank. The answer was, " Does he ? we shall go there also in a bit." They then made a search for more cash, but, not finding any, they proceeded to appropriate rings, brooches, gold chains, d-c., and afterwards insisted u p on having all the watches in the house. Mrs. Worth had secreted her gold watch in the bed, but she was compelled, by threats of rough usage ' which one of the fellows began to carry into effect, to give up the watch. Miss Worth begged that a locket contain ing some of her mother's hair, and which was ap pended to a valuable gold chain, might be restored to her, when one of the men broke it off the chain and threw it to her. On her remarking that it was broken, she was told to get it mended. She replied that she must take it to Lincoln. " Lin coln !" said one of the villains, " Where's Lincoln? We know nought about Lincoln. Send to Sheffield or Birmingham, and you can get all the lot back again." The burglars then proceeded into another bedroom, the boxes and jewelcases in which were rifled. While these operations were going on up stairs, another party of burglars were plundering the house below, and every place likely to contain money or plate or portable valuables of any kind was thoroughly ransacked. The larder was also visited and pretty well cleared of eatables; the spirit decanters were emptied, and a bottle of port, seven bottles of sherry, some tobacco, half a box of cigars, a quantity of tea, and other articles were secured. Altogether the thieves remained in the house about an hour, during which everything was thrown into the utmost confusion. They at length decamped with their plunder, warning the inmates to make no alarm, nor to stir from their rooms for an hour on pain of being murdered. The fellows had their faces covered with black cloth, with holes in for the eyes. Two of them were stationed in front of the house, with loaded guns, to prevent any attempt at escape ; another sentinel was posted on the landing of the staircase • the remaining five did the work of plundering. *one of them were heard to use bad language, and, although Mr. Worth was the only man in the house, not the slightest act of rudeness was offered to any of the women, all of whom seemed to have behaved with great coolness and self-possession. About half an hour after the robbery Mr. Worth left the house and apprised the constable at Scotherne of the- oc currence. This officer immediately went to Lin coln, and in a very short time Superintendent Hardcastle apprehended two men on suspicion. During the day several of the articles stolen in ciudieg Mrs. Wo r th' s go ld watch and chain,were discovered, and other arrests were made. Mr. Worth is insured in-the Property Protection So ciety, which repays its members half the value of the property stolen on satisfactory proof of the theft, and the remaining half on the conviction of the offender.. This daring burglary has created a considerable sensation in the neighbourhood, and also at Lincoln, from which Mr. Worth's residence is only seven or eight miles distant.
