R°wLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti fyir.:, .he TEETH and strengthening the GUMS It eradicates tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective p owe rs, scurvy is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth Powder ever know, IIOWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe.

I'll sing you a song of Sir Timothy Trim, In the hope that you'll all learn a lesson from him ; Sir Timothy Trim was a very smart man, And he dress'd on a ver3 superior plan. In order that this might be properly done, Sir Timothy dealt with E. MOSES and SON; For was it a foolishly fanciful whim — But it showed the good taste of Sir Timothy Trim. Whatever Sir Timothy wish'd to put on, lie was certain to favour E. MOSES and SON; Who furnished not only Sir Timothy's clothes, But Hats for his head piece. end Boots for his toes. And oh ! how he came from h is toile t ! how stnart ! How likely to win a susceptible heart ! Whenever I've happened to gaze upon him I have felt a respect for Sir Timothy Trim. Sir Timothy's sons (as you'll readily guess) Studied fashion by going to MOSES' for dress ; And Sir Timothy's lady and daughters of course Choose MOSES' choice Habits when mounting a horse ; And Sir Timothy's servants, as tasty and smart, Had their liveries made at the very same Mart ; All the household, in fact, were in keeping with him— And was not that wise of Sir Timothy Trim ? May alt learn a les , on and nobody trample On Sir Timothy's precept and noble example. Sir Timothy's cree l was a true one—that none Can in any way equal E. MOSES anti SON. And how was Sir Timothy's household admired ! What thousands applauded who saw them attired r And hence, I repeat, take a le•son from him, And study yourself and Sir Timothy Trim. new Work, entitled " FASHIONS FAVOURITE," with a List of Prices, and Directions for Self-measurement, can le had on applio-ation, or forwarded post-free.

At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has bees calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure Isis life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

SPANISH AMERICAN BOND HOLDERS. The following correspondence has taken place between the Chairman of the Committee of Spanish Arneric:zn Bondholders and the Cousul•General of the Republic of the Equator:— _ (Copy.) " 13, Austinfriars, June 24, 1847. " Sir,—The Committee of Spanish American Boni holders, verceivintz by the public journals that you have received the appointment of Consul General of the Re public of the Equator, request the favour of your in forming them whether you have received any instruc tions tram the Government of that republic, to enter into communica ion with the committee in reference to the adjustment of the foreign debt of that republic. " I am. &c., (Signed) " G. R. RUBINSON, Chairman. " W. P. Roberton, Esq., Consul-General of tha Republic of the Equator." " Equator►an Consulate-General, 10, Old Jewry-chambers, June 29. _ _ " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowltAge the receipt or your letter of the 11th inst., requesting to know if the Government of the republic which I serve has authorised me to communicate with the committee in reference to the adjustment of the Equatorian foreign debt. "I beg to state in reply, that officially I have received no such instruction ; but I think it right to inform yea that his Excellency Din Vicente R. Roca, President of the republic, has expressed in his communications to me his desire to re-establish the credit of Equador in this country. The civil wars and consequent dilapidation of the public treasury previously to his accession to his office kft the Government then, and I fear still leaves it, without immediate means of carrying a satisf.ctory arrangement with the bondholders into effect; but I am persuaded that, the iwarnal peace of the country being how assured, the Government will turn its serious atten tion to some early arrangement with the English bond molders. Ihe to take this opportunity of stating that I an desired, in a di-patch which I received by last packt t from Don Manuel Gomiz de la Torre, Minister of Equa (kr, to correct, publicly, a misapprehension which has arisen that a term of two years had been fixed on fcr 'inverting the old Columbian into Equatorian Bonds in Quito, after which time all claims would be wholly ex cluded. No measure of this or any other kind, tending to invalidate the claims of the English bondholders has emanated from the Equuturian Government. " I have the honour, &c., (Signed) W. PARISH ROBERTSON.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) BEARD V. EGERTON AND OTHERS. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in try ing this case, which was brought fur the infringement of the patent for Daguerreotype, taken out in this coun try by Mr. Berry, and of which the plaintiff became assignee. Sir F Thesiger, Q.C. (with Mr. Robinson and Mr. Webster), appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Watson, Q.C. (with Mr. J Brown), for the de endant. The invention called Daguerreotype is well known as a means of producing pictures and likenesses by the action of light, and it appeared from the evidence given on the part of the plaintiff. that in the preparation of the plates, before putting them into the camera obscura, it is essential they should be exposed to the evaporation of iodine, in order to produce the sensitive costing. It iodine, however, is only used, the image from which the representation is taken must be stationary, and the pro cess is, besides, very slow; and it has since been found a great improvement to use iodine with chlorine or brie mine, as it considerably increases the sensitiveness of the coating and accelerates the process of taking the likeness. In the specification to the patent the use of iodine only is point e d ou t. At the close of th e pl a i nt iff's case, Mr. WATSON took several objections, the principal of which was, that th e spec ifi ca tion was inaccurate. The patentee had stated various stages in the process, and had accordingly divided the specification into various separate parts. In the first of these parts acid was stated as proper to be used for the cleaning of the plates, and towards the end of that first part the following paragraph occurs :—" When the plate is not intended for immediate use or operation the acid may be used only twice upon its surface after being exposed to heat. The first part of the operation may be done at any time. This will allow of a number of plates being kept prepared up to the last slight operation. It is, however, considered indispen sable that just before the moment of using the plates in the camera, or the reproducing the designs, to put at least once more some acid on the plate, and to rub it lightly with pounce as before stated." The evidence showed. and indeed it was admitted, that if the acid or rubbing were applied after the plates had received the iodine, it A ould entirely destroy their efficacy ; and therefore it was contend. d the specification was bad, as a party could not follow out this part of the specification as descrined. On the other side it was contended that no ordinary person could be misled by the specification ; as the only object of the first part was to get the plates ready for the second part of the process, which related to the exposing of the plates to the operation of iodine, it could not be supposed that the acid was to be applied after the iodine had been used. His LORDSHIP, however, was of opinion that the specification was in this respect, to say the least, am biguous. The public were not to be compelled to read the whole of the specification, and then to reason on the whole, when so read together. Here it was stated the acid should be used just before the moment of repro ducing the designs. The time was cointed out so dis tinctly and emphatically, that the specification was cal culated to mislead, although probably it was not so in tended. Still it it left it in any doubt it was equally objectionable. _ Mr. WATSON then submitted that the use of chlorine and bromine in conjunction with iodine was not an in fringement of the patent; but Ills LORDSHIP held otherwise. Upon which Mr. WATSON declined addressing the Jury; And a verdict was then taken for the plaintiff on all the i,-sues except the one raising the above obj , ction to the specification, and on that the verdict w as entered for the defendants, leave being given to the plaintiff to move thereon before the Court next term. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAA SIO.V-HOUSE. Henry Smith wus charged with having committed frauds. John Thompson, tailor, of Wellington-place West, East India Dock-road, said,.—On Thursday, the 24th of June, the prisoner came to my shop, and said he be longed to the ship Kestrel, the property of Mr. Smith, of Newcastle ; that he aas chief officer of the vessel, which was being repaired in Mr. Green's dock, Blackwell; that he was recommended to me to get his outfit by several customers of mine, and that be was going out in her agsin a long voyage. He then gave me an order for the usual outfit to the amount of about 701., said he would write home for the money, and that he would draw 1001. I asked him whether he was sure he could get it, to which he replied, " Yes, it was all his own private money, and he should have it on the following Tuesday, until which time he would he shrill of cash." He asked me to let him have a couple of sovereigns, and I accommodated him. Next day he came and received 31. more from me, and finally he get from me 101, all of which he pro misi- d to return to me on Tuesday, the 29rh of June. He Loki me to have some of the clothes ready for him on Monday, as he was going into the country on that day. He elided on Monday to try on the clothes, but I had in tile meantime discovered chat he was a regular cheat, and, having asked him up stairs and said that I should be under the necessity of giving bins into custody, he in stantly started up, jumped over the balusters of the stairs, and escaped. Thomas Cox. foreman to Mr. Thompson, deposed as to had 'irdeted were ready, the advance of the various sums of money by his em ployer to the prisoner, and the pretext upon which the last the prisoner prisoner required the cash. Ott Nlonday walked into the shop, and asked whether the things he that night, as he was going down to Southampton. a cheat, he was ebareed with being Witness, at his request, after saying that he wanted a suit upon being applied to, denied that he beloned to the vessel at all. The pri soner subsequently gave witness a letter, authorising him to receive a cheque for 201 from a Mr. Morley, who, accompanied him to the deck. where it was re f u sed to honou r the che q ue, and gave a very b a d c h aracter o f the writer o f it. It was pr ove d b y on e of the o wners of the Kestrel that the prisoner was not chief officer of that vessel, nor at all employed in their service. James Stetter, shopman to Messrs. Baldwin, of Corn hill, drapers and tailors, stated that on the 28th of June the prisoner called at their shop, and ordered a suit of uniform and ot h er art i c l es , stat i n g at the same time that he was fir s t o ffi cer of t h e ;star tor the purpos e of aearough, lying in the East India docks; that Messrs. Smith, of Cornhill, were the owners, and that he was then going to them account. In a few minutes he returned, and said their office was closed, and he u ltimately prevailed upon witness to lend him 3s. to pay for his return to the ship. getting some money from them upon The prisoner was committed upon the two charges. Henry Gratz, foreman to Messrs. Moses, of Tower hill, tailors, was comteitted for trial upon the charge of having pawn e d a i t of tros ysers, the p ro p ert y of a pa customer to the firm.

MA RLBOR OUGH STREET. enu Gaspar G , a foreigner employed in the orchestra of the Italian Opera House, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for having endangered the life of Madeline Larnpion, lady's-maid to Mildew Q R .onzi de Begnis, by throwing her down stairs. A certificate from Middlesex Hospital was handed to the magistrate to prove that the complainant, owing to unablefor the the injuries she had sust ained, was to appear personally to make her complaint. Charlotte Harwood said s h e was servant about a fort night ago to Mrs. Harris, of N 0.184, Re ent-street whore the , re the defendant occupied an apartment, and where Madame de Begnis also lodged. About a ago she fortnightheard high words from Madame d 0 Begnis to the complainant.

It was found necessary to send for a. medical man, who advised the immediate removal of the complainant to the hos- JLLY 5, 1847. pital. The complainant had found herself so much better as to be enabled to quit the hospital; but it appeared r hat she had overrated her convalescence, and that she had been again obliged to have recourse to the hospital. Louisa [larding, another servant, said -she saw the complainant fall down stairs, but she did not know who had thrown her down. The complainant appeared to have been thrown down with great force, and seemed much injured. Madame Ronzi de Begnis said the complainant was her servant. The complainant was rude and disobedient on the morning of the accident. The detendant remon strated with the complainant, and gave her a slight push, but he used no violence towards her. The defence was that the complainant fell down stairs accidentally. The defendant was ordered to find bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 801. each. strieerti,ncset.N James's apoleo Lou squa i r s e ßn , u 3 o .es a t p e a r r d t a e y . o Ne. 3 a f ttendedA,akt-itig hiis court to prefer a charge against Charles Pollard, of Ne. 10,-Essex -street, Strand, for having obtained from him, under fraudulent pretences, two bills of exchange fc.r 1,0001. each. His Highness wished to defer the charge until he had an opportunity of obtaining the professional advice of his solicitor. Mr. HAnnwicx said, before he could remand the prisoner he must have some statement en which to act. His Highness then said, on the 14th of June the pri soner called on him at his apartments in King•street, and stated he was a money lender. After some con versation the prisoner induced him to give 2,0001. in two bills of 1,000/. each into his hands for the purpose of getting them discounted. The prisoner, at the same time, said that if he (Prince Napoleon) would sign the bills, he would bring him the money on the following day. Believing the prisoner to be an honest man, he signed the bills, and the prisoner went away. The pri soner called the next day to say he could not bring the money that day, but he would the day after. Since that period he had neither seen the bills nor the prisoner. The bills in question were drawn by the prisoner, who, at the first interview, was provided with stamps. A gentleman from the office of Messrs. Bush and Mullens entered the court, and stated that he appeared professionally for Prince Napoleon. The Prince stated that Messrs. Bush and Co. were in possession of the letters which would throw a com plete light on the transaction, and therefore he would wish to defer the imperfect explanation he could give until a future day. Mr. IaRDWICK appointed Saturday to go into the charge. BO W-STREET. James Duncombe, a costermonger, was charged with stealing a seive or basket of potatoes, from Mr. Pullen, a salesman in Covent-garden market. Mr. Pullen said that the prisoner entered his shop this mcrning, and asked the price of some new potatoes. He paid the price, ss. 6d., and lifted the sieve on the shoul ders of a man who was with him, who took it away. The prisoner lingered for some time. and at last took up another sieve, and walked off with it. He (prosecu tor) did not interfere with him, but followed and watched him to James's-street, where he overtook his compaeion, who ha.l the sieve they had bought upon his head. As the prisoner came up to this man, he pointed to a bar row at the opposite side of the street, and they crossed over towards it. They were just placing the basket o❑ the barrow when witness overtook them, and told the prisoner be must bring the other sieve back. The pri soner said he did not know when he took it that the other man had taken it away. Witness then gave him in charge. The prisoner, in defence, said that he was not aware that his man had taken one sieve away at the time he himself took the second. _ . ......--.. . Mr. HENRY said that was impossible, as the prisoner himself helped his companion to lift the basket up, and he could not have forgotten that so soon. He would commit him if Mr. Pullen would prosecute. Mr. Pullen expressed his wish to prosecute. Mr. HENRY then committed the prisoner for trial. CLERKEN W ELL. Margaret Connor and Mary Jenkins, her daughter, who were formerly the proprietors of the noted " old house in West-street," the reminiscences of which afforded the basis of a plot at many of the " minors" some three years ago, were charged with a brutal assault upon " Jack White," a crossing sweeper. It appeared that the prisoners kept an infamous den in Field-lane, and one of their lodgers having offended, they required Jack, who was noted as a bruiser, to "do battle" on their behalf. To this, however, Jack de- murred, when the younger prisoner came behind him and, with a three-legged stool, stretched him at full length, and both the prisoners attacked him, and would, according to his own statement, have killed him only for th • police. They were fined 205., and, in default, sentenced to three imprisonment, with hard labour. LAMBETH. James Arger was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton, on a charge of stealing several articles of plate from the residence of Mr. Richard Pittman, No. 6, Kennington terrace, Upper Kennington-lune. Harriet Barwick, a servant to; Mr. Pittman, deposed that on the evening before, about six o'clock, the pri soner came to her master's house, and said he was sent from Mr. Pritchard's to put in a pane of glass. She (witness) had not heard of any such order, and told him she thought he was mistukea ; but he said he was not ; that he was told to come to No. 6, Kennington-terrace. Knowing that Mr. Pritchard had been in the habit of doing some glazier'. work for her master, she let the prisoner in, and accompanied him up stairs ; and, in the back room of the first floor, found a pane of glass with a small piece broken. It then occurred to her that Mr. Pkrean had told Mr. Pritchard to send a person to mend it, and that the prisoner was the person. On examining the square at glass, the prisoner said, that to prevent his breaking the upper part of it, he must have a knife heated ; end he took a knife out of his basket. He then asked where he could heat it ; and the witness told him to take it down to the kitchen, which he did. As soon as he bad left the room she (wit- ness) examined his basket, and finding no glass there she at once suspected him, and determined to watch him closely. She consequently followed the prisoner into the kitchen, where the plate used for dinner was lying about, and, in the prisoner's presence, collected the dit ferent articles, and put them into a drawer, which she locked. The prisoner subsequently went down stairs twice for the purpose, as he alleged, of heating the knife. The last time he went, she followed him half way down the stairs, when she heard him take some of the plate which she had left in the closet, and this in duced her to go down the whole way into the kitchen. hut in such a way that the prisoner must have heard her. Before reaching the kitchen she plainly heard the prisoner close the plate- closet door, and saw him walk from it towards the fire-place. Immediately after he went up stairs, and on his doing so, she (witness) exa mined the closet, and missed a silver eream jug, six tea spoons, two eggspoons, a mustardspoon, and a teapot stand, all silver, and which she ha - I placed there when she took the other plate away, and locked it up. She then hurried up stairs, and opened the hall door to look for a policeman, and just as she had done so the pri soner was coming down stairs. He said, " Well, lam tired of my job ; I think I shall leave it now, and come in the morning." She said, "You can please yourself," and he went out, taking his basket with him. She fol lowed him, and he saw her, and she went into a shop for a moment. When she came out again he was just turn ing the end of Devonshire street, and when she got there she saw him running with all his might. She pursued him, calling out " Stop him, stop him 1" and on turning out of Devonshire-street, he was stopped by a policeman, and brought back. The cream-jug and other articles produced were the same she had missed, and were Mr. Pittman's property. Mr. NORTON, after complimenting the witness on her excellent conduct, and the manner in which she had acted, asked her how it was that she allowed the prisoner to leave the house with the property ?—She replied that, although perfectly aware that he had taken the property, ,he was afraid, from being alone, to stop him in the %.= however- had made uD her mind not to let him escape, but follow him until she could obtain the assistance of the police, to have him secured. William King, a glassblower, said he saw the prisoner during his flight throw a basket over a wall, and, sus • pectieg from this he had been doing something wrong, he followed and secured him. On his doing so the prisoner drew from his pocket some of the articles produced, and exclaimed, " 'rake these, and let me go, or else you'll get me transported!" At this moment a policeman came up, and he gave the prisoner into his charge. Mr. Pritchard, No. 4, East place, Kennington-road, plumber and glazier, stated that he had been occa sionally employed by Mr. Pittman, but had not sent the prisoner to that gentleman's residence on the day before, nor did he know anything whatever about the prisoner. The prisoner, who declined offering anything in his defence, was fully committed to take his trial on the charge, but as it was represented by several of the officers of police that a number of robberies had recently been committed under similar circumstances, he will be again brought up on Monday next, when it is thought that other charges will be established against him. WORSHIP-STREE T. This being the day appointed for the co mpletion s of the evidence against George Dean, alias Clarke. a lia the soi-disant ship's carpenter, who has Gterdele; been s remanded on *le charge of obtaininrgetrnocneey, and the Court good to an immense extent under fajsePen individuals of almost all grades who had preferred i C h harges against him, many of which had resolved themselves into char cases of felony. The depositions were r ead over byMr.Vine:thechi-el clerk, and the followi n g are among the prisoners numer ous delinquencies: — Ruth Arnold, the widow of a seaman in her Majesty's service, residing a t Gravesend, stated that t w h e a e t ka the sin p e r e i- , soner resided in her house a f representing himself as a ship's carpenter, and stating that he had upwards of four hundred pounds, the produce of his savings, in the bank of that place. After remaining some tie with her, and living sumptu usly at her expense, the m prisoner induced her to lead him a few shillings. She had then wholly lost sight of hi m ; and on examining her drawers soon after his departure she discovered that a certificate for a lug,- amount of prize -money, due to her late husband, had disappeared. H. Knowles, City police-conetuble 623, produced the PII.ICR SD. certificate, which was identified by Mrs. Arnold, and also a number of school-books and children's samplers, which were found upon the prisoner at the time of his apprehension. The latter articles were identified by Charles Holmes, a journeyman carpenter in Fashion street, Spitatfields, who proved that after lodging some time at his house the prisoner suddenly absconded, and, besides the property in question, carried off the whole of his tools. Mr. Thomas Goddard, landlord of the King's Arias Tavern, at Gravesend ; Mrs. Brocknall, the wife of a shoemaker, in Shoreditch, from whom the primmer ob tained the money on the pretence that he was about to receive 2501. at the Jamaica Coffee. house, the amount of his wages as a carpenter on board the Sarah, American liner; Mr. Moss, of Tottenham•court-road, who supplied him with a suit of clothes that he might appear in decent trim at the Admiralty, to obtain a large accumulation of prize-money; Mr. Pink, of Kilburn, and a host of other persons, who had alike suffered from the prisoner's im positions, were in attendance. The prisoner, who exhibited the greatest sang [toed throughout, and of whom it was said that he had been convicted of felony at Guildford, in Surrey, was fully committed for trial. THAMES. On Saturday, prior to the opening of the Court, the avenues leading to it were literally blocked up by a host of poor German emigrants, who had squatted themselves lon the door-steps, and occupied every available nook and corner, all eager for the arrival of the Magistrate, that they might relate their grievances. On Mr. Ballantine taking his seat on the bench, one of their number, named Peter Bowman, was introduced, and having been sworn, from his statement it appeared that no less than 26S of them had taken a passage to Quebec in the ship Juliet, Captain \Terdon, and which vessel was to sail this afternoon. Their grievances were —first, that the ship, instead of being able to accommo date the whole 268 of them, had not stowage sufficient fur scarcely half that number; but what they principally complained of was, that they had agreed with a Mr. White, an extensive provision merchant, residing near the principal entrance of the London Docks, to furnish them with suitabl. supplies, for which they had paid him 61. per head ; but, on going on board, so far from finding a proper sea stock, there was not—to use the words of the witness—" as much as would go on his thumb-nail." Mr. BALLANTINE said they had better go to Mr. White, who was a respectable man, and had lived near the docks many years, as doubtless there must be some mistake. Ellis (the chief usher) informed the magistrate that ho understood that gentleman was at present at Graves end, and the ship was to sail this afternoon. Mr. BALLANTINE then said that as the case stood at present he had no jurisdiction, and advised them to lose no time, but go immediately to Lieutenant Lane, the Government emigration agent. They would find him at his office at the London Docks, and he would take prompt measures in their behalf; and if it turned out that they had been defrauded in the manner they repre sented he would see them righted, the Government being determined to look closely into these matters, as in the recent case of Gardiner and M'Lean, who had been transported f.r having practised gross frauds on these poor intended emigrants. The applicants thatiked his Worship, and immediately hastened in a body to Lieutenant. Lane's office. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, JULY 2.—A full average business has been done in foreign wools this week, at full recent rates. The improving prospects of the harvest have contributed materially to an increased confidence, both amongst (killers and manufacturers. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, JULY 2.—We cannot quote any change in this market this week. The manufacturers continue to buy cautiously, and last week's prices are with difficulty maintained. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY I.—We have had a good show of wool at this day's market, and the buyers being rather numerous, nearly all was sold up at a slight im provement of last week's prices. HULL WOOL MARKET, JUNE 29.—A fair supply of wool and a good attendance of buyers; nearly all sold up at last week's prices, varying from 9d. to l Id. per lb., according to quality and number of hogs. LEEDS.—Although there was not any larger purchases of goods at the cloth halls, either on Saturday or Tues day, yet, in consequence of the fall in the price of corn, and the continued fine weather, there is a return of con fidence in the market, and the general opinion is, that with a good havest there must be a good autumn trade. Prices continue firm, and the stocks are moderate. This being betwixt the seasons, there has been but little doing in business in warehouses for the home trade. The shippers are, however, doing more; on the whole the prospects of trade are decidedly improved. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There still con tinues a very sluggish demand tor wool. The staplers are unable to take lower prices, on account of not bring able to replace their stocks on easier terms. The pur chases of the spinners are very restricted. There is no alteration in the yarn market. The business is steady, and prices firm. A large number of merchants were present in the piece market, and a good business was done. The German houses are pur ihasing pretty freely for the autumn trade. The stock of goods in the manufacturers' warehouses are small. The appearance of the piece market improves. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EvENING•—We have had more doing in goods this week, and at improving rates fir most descriptions, but as the advance scarcely covers the rise in the staple, though cloth changes hands rather freely, it leaves no increase of profits. Stocks are, however, rapidly decreasing, and if there should not happen to be a resumption of full time in the mills, a fair profit on what may be produced is probable. The American packet has brought extensive orders, and those kinds of goods which absorb a great deal of labour in their production form good features in such orders. Yarns meet ready sale, iilut not quotably higher; the Greek houses are buying extensively of prints. NOTTINGHAM.—The cotton hosiery trade, especially in the cut-up departments, is in the same state as pre viously reported, and many hands have been out of em ployment more than two months. The drawer branch and the cotton glove branch are in a much better state than the silk. 'The fancy bobbin-net trade is still very dull, as respects demand. The stoppage of a London house in the lace trade, whose liabilities are said to amount to 70,0001., has not improved matters. FUNERAL OF SIR ROBERT STOPTORD. The mortal remains of this much-lamented Admiral were interred on Friday afternoon in the vaults of the Royal Greenwich Hospital Cemetery with the various forms due to his rank. Shortly before two o'clock the Earl of Auckland and the other Lords of the Admiralty arrived at the Governor's residence, for the purpose of taking part in the proceedings. The admiral's flag was imme diately hoisted in the middle of the square; every other arrangement for conducting the funeral had been previously made. The passage from the Governor's residence to the chapel, and from thence to the south gate, was lined by a detachment of the pensioners, several of whom had halberds covered with crape. Companies of the Royal Marines and Marine Artillery were stationed on either side of the road from the Hospital gate to that of the cemetery. The band of the latter was also in attendance. The procession was formed shortly after two o'clock, at which time a considerable number of naval and military officers, attired in full uniform, had assembled. The procession moving slowl% towards the chapel, the band played the " Dead March in Saul," and the guns stationed on One Tree-hill, ad joining the cemetery, fired minutely. Having arrived at the entrance the body was received by the Rev. J. K. Goldney, and immediately placed in the centre of th, edifice, the chief mourners and other persons taking up their seats on either side. The pall-bearers were Ad miral Sir E. Codrington, Admiral Lord Colville, Rear- Admiral Sir C. Malcolm, Rear-Admiral Bowles, Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Adam, Sir J. B. Capel ; and the mourners included Admiral Sir T. Byam Martin, Lieu tenant-General Sir Howard Douglas, the Earl of Cour town, Viscount Stopf ed, the Hon. Captain Cust, the Rev, A. Stopford. Major-General Fanshawe, Viscount Sydney, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and Sir George Womb• well were amongst the other distinguished persons pre sent. The pi ayers having concluded, the procession was once more formed, and moved to tho admiral's where the concluding portion of the service having been read, the coffin was slowly lowered into its d_epesitoz The centre plate bore the inscrip " tion— Admiral Governor of Hon.

It- has been the subject of remark how it happens that the densely-populated parish of Hackney, ono of the largest and most respectable of the suburban districts of Lon don, has been so long overlooked by the Scottish Pre, oyterians, where an ample field is open for one or mor of their talented clergymen. There are at this time it: the parish, besides the Established Church and chap Is chapels numerously attended by almost every denoms nation of religious Dissenters. The Right Honourable William Frederick Fownes Tighe has been appointed Lieutenant of the county of Kilkenny, in the room of the late Earl of Besborough. Mr. Tighe is brother-in-law of the Duke of Richmond. Mr. EMU - NS complained that the time of the Court was gen,irally so much taken up with empty discussions upon subjects wholly unconnect e d with the interests of the citizens of London, that there were upon the paper of business notices of motion of fifteen or sixteen months standing. He thought the Lord Mayor was bound, at all events, to convene Courts for twelve o'clock, accord ing to old custom, instead of the liter hour at which they assembled, and was sure that the departure from the earlier time contributed very much to the injurious procrastination of public business.—(Hear, hear.) Sir PETER LAURIE said, there were upon the paper numerous notices of motion, which the persons who caused them to be inserted never intepded to bring for ward.—(Laughter.) lie would instance the project of the railroad to Farringdon - market , which "as amongst the complete impracticabilities, and Mr. Bennoch's ! notice for hiding the meetings of the Court of Common Council at House of Commons hours.—(L ,ughter.) There were also notices of motion for substautntl cetypii nnents of plate, and nothing could be na.re cefiain than that the hand of desth ss.oeld he la , d upon the intlivt duals selected for such honour before t::e motions wt &d pass. lie hoped all the useless and stupid notices would be at once removed from the p Lpyr by those oho had been so injudicious as to place them on the list.—(bear.) A report was presented upon the subject of appropri ating the site of a lnale in Newgate street, the rent of which had fallen in, to the bey efieial plan of widening the street. It recommended such aoprepriation, and also I the appropriation to the same purpose of other houses I in the naarow part of the street, as the rent of e:.ch should fall in. The report was agreed to immediately, and amidst applause, the object being to give greeter public accom modation in the crowded locality of Newgate-street. HEALTH OF TI,WNS. Deputy BEDFORD rose to present the petition, which the lamented Dr. Lynch had expressed so much anxiety to introduce, from the inhabitants of Farringdon With out, praying the Cnurt to set aside a sum of money to improve the sanatory condition of the ward, and to adopt such measures as would improve the habitations of the labouring classes. _ _ The petition, after alluding to the projected new street from King William-street to King-street, which would cost an enormous sum, without producing benefit at all corresponding, and which had the appearance of a monstrous job rather than of an useful undertaking, represented that there were undertakings appertaining to the state of the public health within the City which more immediately and imperatively demanded the consideration and interference of the Court than any plan of street -decoration. "It is," said the peti tion, which enters very fully into the subject, and con sists of twenty-six long pages, " notorious, as shown in the evidence given in the Health of Towns Commission and the Poor-law Commission, in their inquiry into the sanatory condition of the labouring classes, that the disease and mortality of the metropolis are frightfully increased by the absence of such sanatory regulations us it is clearly within the power of the Corporation to sup ply. Your memorialists remind your Honourable Court that, in the month of March, a resolution was moved in the Court of Common Council by Dr. Lynch. urging upon the Corporation the imperative obligation under which it lay of immediately adopting those sanatory regulations which the exigencies of the case required for the purpose of diminishing the disease and mortality, arising out of the absence of such regulations, which re solution was supported and illustrated by a speech re plete with striking and important facts, which created great interest in the public mind, and obtained a refer ence of the said resolution to the improvement commit tee. Your memorialts's cannot avoid expressing their deep concern at the fact of your having permitted a mat ter so important and tiressing as this to remain for eight months without any report having been made upon it, and without, as your memorialists have reason to believe, the committee to which was referred ever having given to it a moment's consideration, especially after it had been shown by the evidence of the highest authorities that of the deaths annually occurring within the metro polis between 4,G00 and 5,000 occur from diseases pre ventible by ordinary precautions, while the disease, de bility, and poverty engendered by the absence of them add greatly to the amount of human suffering, and to the burden of the poor rates." The following are the concluding paragraphs:— " By the 44th of Edward 111. the butchers of London were forbidden to slaughter cattle within the City, and by the 16th of Richard 11. the prohibition was extended to swine. We are at a loss to conceive cf any good reason for now dispensing with a regulation so properly deemed necessary for the preservation of the public health in former times. The same may be said of fur naces and other sources of atmospht tic pollution which call for the like interference of your Court and the Le gislature. By the 35th of Edward 1.. the Mayor of London was commanded to prevent persons from light ing furnaces neat the Tower of London during the stay of the Queen and nobles at the Tower, because the air, as it was alleged, is corrupted and infection promoted by the insolubility of the air on account of the said fur naces. What was true in the time of Edward the First is equally true now, and we would respectfully suggest, that it is scarcely less necessary to free the air from that infection which is injurious to human life because the Queen and the nobles may nut now happen to stay at the Tower of London. " We also venture to suggest, that in addition to all the other and pressing obligations which rest upon your Court to promote the sanatory condition of the City there is one arising out of the fact, that it was the cor uoratioa of the City that opposed Sir Christ,pher Wren's plan fur the rebuilding of London, which was fipproveti by the King, and which would have exc:uded all grave-yards, as well as all dark narrow alleys without tilt roughfare. , , and courts; as also all trades that use great fires or yield noisome smells, and would haw securtd perfect ven tilation and arteries of communication throughout the City, sufficient even for its present enormous traffic. Taking the premises herein set forth into consideration, and adverting to the serious resp ta o ioin n evd s e i rm h t i ha l ta i kh t t y which rests upon the Corporation of the city of London, with its ample revenues and great powers, we confidently rely upon your Court to proceed, without loss of time, to the at c ho o na completion he p tehs l m e oe t , i cc o mlo n emea t rnm i e f s,ei, t nnv h ged o ra s :,b e fl a)h, sanatory ibirhlewaf nar); preference arrangements which you i e nygo w u i o d wf e n isl i ei r w f g geirv o l le ; streets merely for the purposes of traffic, which, however necessary and important, falls far short of those mea sures upon which the health, the comforts, and the lives of so many of the inhabitants of the city of London im. mediately depend." Mr. BUCULASTER also presented a petition from the inquest jury of St. Andrew's, Holborn, on the danger to the public health ari.ing from bad sewerage. It stated that though sewerage was proceeded in, the locality was in as bad a condition as if there was no sewerage at all, as the landlords did not choose to go to the expense of opening drains to make it available, and that the supply of water was most inadequate ; and it would be desir able that the Legislature should make it compulsory upon landlords to have a due and proper supply furnished to every house. It was stated that an effort, which it was expected would be successful, was to be made in Parliament to introduce a clause making it compulsory upon landlords to accompiish what the memorialists recommended. The reports were reterred to the Improvements Com mittee. _ _ Mr. WA.TERLow brought up the report of the Parlia mentary Committee, with the draft of a petition to Parliament against the interment of the dead in churches and churchyards ; and also a report recom mending the abatement of the nuisance of smoke from steam-engines, and the draft of a petition on the subject.
