STATE OF TRADE. The cloth trade at Leeds continues i❑ a very satisfactory state. There has been a fair demand for goody during the week. Brt orona Asticnr.z--k - good deal of - tminess was &Tree Irt this market on Thursday, both in goods and short wools. lu manufactured goods the principal demand was for middle qua lities, and foreign wools were most inquired for. The yarn market was nearly stationary. HuntywrisFiELo.—The market on Tuesday was lively fcr winter cloths, and a considerable quantity of goods changed hands. Stocks of goods are low. liocHim LE, Sept. 21.—The demand for goods at this market to-day was very brisk. All descriptions were in request. The middling qualities were eagerly inquired after. The wool Mar ket was much the same as last week: the transctions were on a limited scale, but no alteration in prices. `WEIGHTS AND MsasuttEs.—The new bill for regulating weights and measures in the united kingdom received the. royal assent On Wednesday. This bill repeals the former act, except that it recognizes the acts done and appointments made under its authority. It imposes a penalty of 40s. for each offence on every person selling by heaped measure, and directs that articles which from their size and shape - cannot be struck, or which may nut be conveniently sold by weight, shall be sold by measures of the shape prescribed for heaped measure by the sth Geo. IV., filled to the level of the brim in all parts, or as nearly as may be. Coals, &c., are to be sold by weight, and not by measure, from and after the Ist January next: penalty, £s—and all bargains made contrary thereto to be null and void. Besides empowering grand jiiries, as heretofore, to ap point such inspectors and provide such copies of the standard weights &c., us they may consider sufficient for the county, the bill also enables magistrates of towns to appoint any additional inspector or inspectors within the limits of their respective jurisdictions. Magistrates and inspectors are authorised to enter shops and inspect the weights and measures, Inspectors are bound to, attend at market towns and other places, as directed by grand jury, and to pay all fees to the treasurer of the county ; the grand jury to allot a reasonable remuneration to such inspectors. A penalty of £5 is incurred by all persons using other weights and measures than those :Authorised by this , act; and all penalties and forfeitures, in case of non-payment, to be recovered (reserving power of appeal to the Quarter Ses sions,) in a summary way, by the adjudication of two or more justices of the peace asseiribled at petit sess i o n s .

OLD BAILEY TitE Oxix us. CONSP MAC Y.— . l s he trial against the twenty otnn loos proprietors for conspiracy, a trial unpreeede'nteU in its length -slid nature for half a . ceuttiry. at this court, finished on Saturday in the conviction or the whole of the accused. • • es;• - ; The investigation has occupied five class,. but althuugh the evidence was voluminous, yet the merits of the case will occupy but a very short space. On the Bth of June, Bray started two (minibuses on this road, and in a week after he was recommended by the defendants "to belong to them," that is, to a committee of the proprietors upon the road, who held their meeting every Tharsday, at Paddington. He was inforMed that he was not ('..eligible fulielong to theta unless he bought "a tune." This is I a term used throtighnut the investigation. He was to pay a sum las large as 1400 or £5OO forthis, and have a limited number of journeys at stated times, and was not to be opposed by any other omnibus in these "times." He refused; and then, by the evi ' deuce adduced for the prosecution, front the end of the first week there was one omnibus behind and the other before him in each journey. This was the conspiracy complained of, and the evidence of a dozen most respectable shopkeepers of Hal born and Oxford-street all went to prove that this man was pre vented from gaining. his living by the conduct of the defendants. They proved another circumstance most satisfactorily, that the pole of the omnibus behind Bray's was often so near the door of his.vehicle as to render it unsafe for persons to get in or out, and the passengers, male and female, were pulled from Bury's omnibus into one of the others. Mrs. Turnbull's examination went materially to prove the system of organization amongst the proprietors. She said, " I belong to the committee at Padding ton. They made a demand on me for £7O. It was to defray the, expenses of running another person off the road." The question was objected to, as it was not Bray's that the money was wanted for, but the answer fell heavily against the defend ants. Every description of nuisance to the public was proved. They were daily racing and abusing each other, and so high was the spirit of opposition that Robert 'Willis, in his evidence for the defendant whilit under a cross-examination said that on one occasion when they were running against Bray, they were behind, and Bray's conductor said, "You arn't game to follow us to Woolwich" (they were running from Paddington to the bank.), The other conductor said "We are," and the two vehi cles went considerably out of their way. The defence set up was that Bray ran in their time, and that they were merely competing with him, as one tradesman would with another who started against him in the same line; and that Bray had asked 1.:10i of them to go off the road; and that in pursuance of this demand he had resorted to as much irregu lEtrity .Altets. Marie one of the witnesses, gave evidence, corroboratediby others, to that effect; but young Trevet unquestionably gave a great point for the prosecution - in his cross-examination . by Mr. Sergeant Bompas. Ile said that at whatever time Bray's omnibus started, whether at nine, ten, or eleven, the Albion always started with it. The accusations against Bray were manifold, and it was proved that his men had' made use of very disgraceful duservati6ns against one of the proprietors, who was a shoemaker. The common sergeant left it to the jury to decide whether it had been a competition in the fair way of trade, or whether it had been a conspiracy, in which all the defendants had joined, to run the man off the road. The jury, after an hour and three-quarters' deliberation, re turned a verdict of guilty. The conspirators were then called up for judgment, and re ceived the following sentences: — Fined £loo—Thomas Bolton and Robert Trebott. Fined £so—Richard Bird, Thos. Bird, Win. Cowderov, Jas. Hill, J. Johnson, and J. Parkes. Fined £3o—Robert Carpenter, John Newell, Samuel Pearce, and Philip Sellick. Fined £2o—EdMund Sylvester and T. Corbett. Fined £s—George Dodd, Wm. Gulliver, John Goff, Thos. Trebott, J. Sylvester, and J. Smith. Bolton, one of the accused, paid the £690, the whole of the fines. THE E Itt-)tQA D Takes:Dia—Henry Stanvnought, aged • thirty-five, was arraigned on the coroner's rugitisition (the grand jury having ignored the bill of iodictineut en the ground of insani ty) for the murder of his son. Satisfactory evidence was adduced -to prove the insanity of the prisoner, and the judge ( Mr. Baron Gurney) directed au acquittal. The jury, in accordance with this direction, returned a verdict of not guilty. 11 'diva ay ROBBER Y. —Robert Swan, aged 28, a soldier in the Ist battalion of Scots Fusileer Guards, was indicted for feloniously, and with menaces and threats, stealing from Wil liam Reynolds one gold watch and one gold seal, value £lO, a purse, and £1 13s. in money, on the 18th of August. As the case appeared in evidence it was shortly as follows: The prosecutor, who is ce7 years of age, belongs to the Society of Friends. He was [(innerly a merchant in Liverpool, but has been latterly in the counting-heuee aids brether. He resides at Carshelton House. Sarrey. On the evening of the 18th August he dined at the Garrick Club, in King-street, Covent garden, with a friend, when, after dinner, he pal took of three glasses of claret only. He was at the time suffering from a severe headache, in consequence of which he went out at about a quarter before eight o'clock. He then went to a friend in • Lincoln's Inn-fields, and, alter remaining with him thi eequar ters of an hour, he walked to the Green Park. On arriviug in the Park he walked round the western side of the basic, and then crossed towards the Duke of Sutherland's house and had proceeded sonic distance when he turned out of the path fur a private purpose. Some one at this imminent came behind him and said, "Good night." He made a similar reply; when the person, who was in the undress of a soldier, seized him by the skirts of the coat, saying, "'lbis is just what I want. You are the sort df man that give soldiers bad names." He saw he was in the prisoner's power, and the horror of his situation was such as to prevent a distinct recollection of what subsequently took place. He, however, struggled, and the man replied, "You had better be quiet." The latter then pulled him sortie ijistance towards the Palace, and at length said, '° What gill you give. me to let you go ?" He answered that he would give every thing he bad about him; and, in complianee with the demand of the perion alluded to, he gave up his purse, and subsequently his watch. The former contained a sovereign, a hall-seeereign, and souse silver. The fellow then said, " Are yini satisfied?" and directly went sway Inwards St. James's Pars. From the observation he took of the parson he could not swear that it was the prisoner. He directly left the Park. and returned to the Garrick Clate.where he remained all night. On the following Monday he mentioned the circumstance to two of his friends, in cousequenee of a communication made to him by a police officer. On the following day he appeared at Bow-street, where he found the prisoner in custody.—From the evidence of Mr. W. Baker, a watch-maker, living at 35, Long-acre, it appeared that the prisoner called at his shop on the afternoon of 'films-. day, the '2oth of August, and produced a gold watch, of which he desired to know the value; witness replied that it must have cost £25, when new; the prisoner then said, " You would not think that was a resent to a lady's maid," and witness replied that he should not. He next ofiserved that it was too good for him to have knocking about, and be therefore wished to dispose of it ; he had had it in his possession for about three weeks, hut had not sisown it to any of his comrades; if witness bought it, he said, he would take another in exchange, and would make it worth his while. Witness, however, again expressed his dis belief of the prisoner's story, but requested him to leave the watch in order that he might show it to a customer, who, he thought, would buy it. The prisoner declared that what be had already said was true, and consented to leave the watch for two hours. Witness then obtained the assistance of Pletcher ' a Bow-street officer, who awaited his return ; the prisoner then, upon being further questioned, declared that he had got the watch from a young woman with whom he kept company, when Fletcher took him into custody. and also a woman who was in his company. On reaching how-street office he changed his story, declaring that be had received the watch of a gentleman whom he well knew, but whose name he would nut disclose for ten times the value of the watch. He was then conveyed to the station-house where he remained during the night, and where he gave up £l - 13e. in money.—The statement which the prisoner had given at Bow-st e t was read to the court. It was to the effect that he was passing through the Park from Ches terfield-street, on his way home to the Barracks, when he met the prosecutor. The latter, after having conversed familiarly with him, walked sonic distance, and at length turned aside. On his again turning, he exposed his person indecently, and he (prisoner) directly seized him, and said he would give hint into custody, for it was such men as he that gave soldiers bad names. The prosecutor begged hard to be allowed to go, and at length he took pity on him, and promised to set him at liberty. The prosecutor then took his purse, and, subsequently, his watch from his pocket, which he gave to him, saving lie was a good fellow. They walked to the Park gates together; and on part ing, Mr. Reynolds desired him to meet him at the spot the next clay, when, provided he delivered the watch up, he would make him a haralsnine present. He took both watch and purse, thinking it would be evidence in proof of his statement, and went to the spot pointed out, with the intention of giving Mr. Reynolds into custody, and for that purpose he addressed a policeman, although he did not say what he wanted him for. As the prosecutor did not make his appearance, lie considered himself entitled to dispose of the watch. This closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoner then put' in a written statement to the same effect with what lie said at Bow-street. The policeman referred to stated that the prisoner never spoke to him of taking any person into custody. Ile said something about an appointment with a girl. Mr. Justice Williams was then proceeding to sum up the evi dence, but the Jury declared it was unnecessary, and the learn ed judge having offered some observations on the case, The prisoner was found Guilty.

It is seldotn that we have of late referred to colonial :Mei genes di any length. In fact, we wave considered it uuneees sail- to bestow time and labour upon toe. subject, the goveruineot and the people 'of Great Britain being determined !bat only what is =nod aad pleasant shall be heard of the works of their hands, tiowever• rash and mischievous these have been or may be. The conceal men t o f th e t ru th, h ow e ver , w hi c h t h e Mar , quie of Sligo's clap -trap speech to the Jamaica legislature so unaccountably called together in August, received by the packet just arrived, and which is so midi bruited abroad, and laid hold of to distract and impede the regular course of mercantile trans actions, induces us to notice a few of the more prominent state meets which it contains, and to expose from unquestionable resources their disingeuuity and scandalous errors. The marquis says, from the Ist August, 1834, to the Ist of. August, 1835, Jamaica has shipped . 68,000 hhdi. sugar; that there are no snore causes to cut; that the crop has diminished a little from what bad been calculated owing.to the season, but that, upon the whole, the crop and every thing " was better than lie expected;" thus conveying to his employers and masters, and through them to the misled people of this country, the im pression that the crop in Jamaica for this year then finished was little at all deficient from any former crops. This is the substance of the marquis's speech, and which the wiseacres who compile and confuse price currents in London lay hold of to suit their purposes. What the marquis " expect ed" we could only know correctly by the publication of those gloomy despatches which he wrote from Jamaica to Downing . - street about twelve mouths ago, and which have been all garbled or suppressed; while he at the time got a rap across the knuckles for transmitting these, and a decided i n ti ma ti on t h a t such were n o tth e ki n d o f despatches to suit on this side of the water. With these before us, we should at once ascertain what the noble marquis "expected;',' but, being without these, we turn to documents which neither he nor the Colonial-office can shut up, though the latter may sometimes, as in this year, keep them back from us for a time, and from these show what the crops of Jamaica have been in years past, and, front showing these, learn what the crop of Jamaica ought to have been, and what it would have been under customary circu,stances. In vain the noble marquis now blames the season. Every one acquainted with the facts knows that there have not been finer seasons for many years than the last and the present sea sons have been for Jamaica, and also that all the canes for the the crop 18,35 were on the ground before the Ist of August, 1834, and required °nit the fostering of reasonable weather to bring to maturity. The island had such weather, and the noble marquis, whose memory seems not to be very good, unless, in deed, the whigs in Downing-street jumble the effusion of his brains, as they do effusions contained in other despatches, tells Air. Siring !eke. in hia de3p!itch, December 13th, 1834, (see Parliamentary Report, No. 177, of last session,) that " the crop was NEVEM Barrett in appearance, and, therefore, &there is any little deficiency in the negroes' work this crop, it will, I hope, be made up by the extra quantity which the ground pro duces this year." Well, it has produced just 68.0J0 hhds., part of which, and no small part, belouged to crop 1834, and was, from adverse circumstances, shipped, as ma n y a one k nows, a f ter t h e Ist of August, instead of before it, as was customary for crops to be. However, we give the marquis and Downing -street cre dit for the whole; and now for the former crops of Jamaica. Previous to 1814 the average exceeded 120,010 hhds.

SPANISH AUXILIARIES-MUTINY. DUBLIN POLICE -OFFICE, TirunsoAr.—The adjutant of the sth Highland Light Infantry, in the service of the Queen of Spain, which regiment is at present on board the Cumberland steamer, lying in Kingstown harbour, applied to the magistrates for assistance to retake some of his men who had mutinied and deserted from that vessel on her arrival here. Lieutenant Mar tin stated that he embarked last week at Glasgow, with a divi sion of his regiment, amounting to between two and three hun dred men, but owing to stress of weather the vessel was obliged to ptit into Kingstown harbour. On Tuesday night a mutiny broke out amongst the soldiers, who opened the arms chest, and having armed themselves, they used violent and threatening language towards their officers, for the purpose of intimidating them. Towards morning, about thirty of them seized two boats belonging to the steamer, in which they proceeded to the shore, hne they disembarked and deserted, turning the boats adrift. They carried away their uniforms and bounty. Si. of the men had been retaken, and one of them, named Edward Regan, was, he understood, a native of Dublin. He wished to know, under these circumstances, if he could have the assistance of the police to retake the remainder of the men. The magistrates declined acceding to the application, as the present case did not come within their criminal jurisdiction. It was a mere breach of contract. The men had engaged to go to Spain, but on their arrival at Dublin refused to perform that contract. There was no law to compel British subjects to fo to a foreign country, and they could not think of granting him the police to force them to go. The adjutant said that the re fusal of the men to . perform , their contract w as a b reac h of morality, and as all law , was founded on morality, he w as s u re that there was a law to provide a remedy in such - a case as this. Mr. Hamilton said that the principle might be g oo d i n et hi cs, but not in law. The present was a contingency that th e legis lature had not provided for. After endeavourin g t o i mpress upon the magistrates the necessity of complying w ith hi s app li cation, and finding that they persevered in their determi nation, the adjutant thanked them for their courtesy, and with drew. SUPREME COURT, CALCUTTA, APRIL 9. CRIM. CON : ---LETII BRIDGE V. BEST. The damages were laid at 30,000 rupees. The Attorney-General stated the case for the plaintiff. The plaintiff is a colonel of infantry, and the defendant a captain of artillery, both in the company's service. The plaintiff was ;Par ried to Mrs. Lethbridge in 18L3. The match was originally one of affection; they lived together ten or twelve years, and had five children. The defendant was on intimate terms with the plaintiff, and received from him every attention and kind ness which it was possible for hint to expect at the hands of a brother officer. Ile was welcomed to the house, and entertained at :j i be table of the e plainktiLit44 .hatl eYery,ppportunity ofewit flossing the harmony an d feenng which- prevailed with the plaintiff and his wife towards each other; yet, in spite of all the• happiness he had been witness to, he had done the plaintiff the bitter wrong to take from hint the partner who had lived with him so many years in uninterrupted harmony and love. When about to quit Kamptee, Captain Best was invited to -a farewell dinner; but, though it was specially upon the occasion of his leaving the place, Captain Best, to the surprise of all, was not there. The dinner, however, was partaken of, and Colonel Lethbridge, who was one of the party, returned home between nine and ten, and found that his wife tad left him. The plain tiff's wife at the time of the elopement %yes 'on the eve of her confinement, and was subsequently delivered of a daughter at a place called Taukelghaut. The plaintiff, hearing of this, seat two female servants to take charge of the child. Captain Best, -,eho was with Mrs. Lethbridge when these servants arrived, left the tent soon after they came in. Mrs. Lethbridge inquired after her husband, and wept when she was told that he was in great misery —that he was in tears. This, if the defendant bad any feeling about him, and it is impossible to suppose him dead t.o all the finer feelings of the human breast, must have stung him more than anything else; and if the learned counsel bad not mistaken human nature, such a scene as this could not have taken place unless there were an affectionate bearing on the part of her husband, and of fond reflection on her own. The only redress which the law afforded the plaintiff would be the damages awarded by the court. There was hardly bitter ness of spirit, hardly misery of mind, greater than that his client must suffer to the end of his days from the deep injury he bad received from the defendant 'the learned counsel would not expatiate upon the circumstances which he Would prove in evi dence with any view to influence the minds of the court, for those circumstances would speak bettoo forcibly themselves; and the court would grant such 'damages as would mark its sense of the unjustifiable, the aunwarrantable, and grievous wrong which the - defendant hadperpetrated against the peace and the happiness of his learned counsel having concluded, put in the delendant's.adeditsion of the fact of the plaintiff's marriage on the 18th-of December, 182.3. Evidence of the terms on which theparties lived was given. Lieutenant Rowlandsot sworn.'-24 atn a lieutenant in the artillery. I married Colonel Lethbridge's daughter. I became acquainted with him on his neat) from England, about three months before my marriage. nem having married Colonel Lethbridge's dau g ht er 1 b ecame very intimate with the family, and was at their ho use e very d ay.

We give the testimony of one of them. Caumatchee sworn.—l -was an ayab iu the service of Mrs. Lethbridge. About six o'clock i 5 the evening my master dressed himself and went to a supper. I remember going to fetch a chiid. My master went to the dinner' about live days befo're I went to fetch the child; my mistress Was then in the lay 7 ., hall drinking tea. I remember she went So her bed-room alpmt seven o'clock in the evening. Upon my plaster's coming home, he went and looked in the bed-room, and asked use where she was. I said, "She is inside." My master said, " No. she is not." I repeated that she was. My master said, "Come and see; she is not there." Myself and dressingiboy then went and looked, and my - mistress was not there. I never saw my mistress again in that house. The fifth day after .my mistress left the house I went to -Goongaum front haraptee, My mis tress was at Taukclghant. I found her at Taukelgliaut in a tent, and ;spoke to her in the English language. She said to me, "How is master, .ayah?" I said, " Master very sorry— can't eat anything." Mistress cried, and told me to go out, and I came away. She said, " I was very foolish that I came off." I saw a child. Immediately upon my going there, mistress said, " There is the child, avab, look." Then I was desired to leave the tent; this was about half-past nine. .I did not tell her that I came to take the child. I brought a letter from my mas ter to a gentleman named Lador, and that gentleman gave me a letter to Mr. Best. Mistress told Me--- - " Take this little baby, ayah ; take care of both children ; I can't come any more." I saw a gentleman (Mr. Best) iu the tent. When I went into it, he went out. Mr. Best was in the habit of coming to my mas ter's to eat his meals. Mr. C. Teed addressed the court for the defendant. He sub mitted that there was no evidence - of any breach of friend ship, or that the defendant or plaintiff had ever been on peculiarly intimate terms. The defendant, it had been proved, was in the receipt of 400 rupees a month, and one of the wit nesses had said that he was involved. He was not, therefore, in a situation to pay excessive damages, and'the learned coun sel submitted that it did not appear Irons the evidence to be a case which called for heavy damages. Sir R. Palmer, Chief Justice, remarked That, though there was no evidence of any intimacy between the plaintiff and de fendant, there was vet no e alliative circumstances whatever in favour of the defendant. Ihe court would not give damages so excessive as would incarcerate the defendant for life, but the court ought to give such damages as would mark its sense of the great wrong committed by the defendant. Damages, 10,000 rupees. Sir ICCornyn agreed with the Lord Chief Justice. Poverty was no excuse, and it were monstrous to hold that, because a man is poor, he may, therefore, commit adultery with impunity. CANADA PAPERS.
