against 60,802,000 lb. at the oorreapooding period in
IMB. Nearly all kinds are a slow inquiry ; nevertheless,
we have no quotable change to notice in prima.
SI:GAIL—There is rather more business doing in raw
qualities. In prices, however, the fluctuations are tri-
fling. TEe stock is 84,000 tons. Refined goods move off
slowly, at 484. per ewt for common brown lamps.
Crushed sugars support previous quotations.

Iducewreit, October 12.—The demand for all useful
descriptions of hosiery continues active, manufacturers
have plenty of orders on hand, and there continues a
good pi pact of activity for wine time; nearly every
department is well engaged, and the operatives are all
fully employed. In the conntry districts trade is ex-
ceedingly good, manufacturers have no stock on hand.
yams are a good sale, and are finn, spinners being well
employed. The wool market is atrady, high priors
being received for superior sorts of wool.
Norrixciitau, 12tb.—The market for lace goods is
becoming exceedingly quiet, and there has been rather
less doing during the lust few days in most branches.
The high price of material is detrimental to any amount
of activity in the silk trade, and for cotton goods the
demand is less active; consequently manufacturers con-
tinue to exercise extreme caution how they produce
goods. In the lim.iery trade there is an excellent busi-
ness doing in woollen articles, and manufacturers are
generally well employed with orders on hand. In the
glue. department the trade is exoeedingly active ; and
stocks of all descriptions are extremely light. The
yarn-market is firm, with no material change in price.
Silk continues very high in price.
Tug Swum] TRAM—The unusually healthy state
of the stocking trole has caused the old cry to be raised
of unions. During the summer just passed there has
been a 'Belt advance upon all kinds of how, and this
has caused delegate meetings to be held in various
villages where the trade is carried on. On Monday last
a deputation from Leicester attended the village et Kib-
worth, to endeavour to persuade the hands there to
fonn themselves into a union; but we believe the result
was attended with no better success that it had been
before, the meeting separating without coming to any
agreement at all.

LORD BROUGHAM ON STRIRE*4.—His Lordship at
the Social Science Ainociation meeting on Monday,
thus adverted to "combinations amongst workmen"
for raising wages, accompanied with a resolution not
to work either for more than a certain time or kw
less than a certain remuneration :

The fallacy is enormous by which the labourers, coin•
planting of machinery as throwing bands out of work,
hold that they ought to share directly with the em-
ployer in the gains which the machinery enabies him to
make. They do share in those gains, but not directly.
The machinery that SAVO labour in one line to the
capitalist enables him to employ more labour in other
lines; the great probability being that he will employ
it in the line to which he and his workmen are accus-
tomed. The combination of masters is the inevitable con-
sequence of the combinations of men; and as they have
capital to draw upon, which is a far more certain and
secure resource of supply than the contributions of the
men, such • conflict must always end in a great loss to
both parties, but dreadful to the poor men, whose
families suffer severely in the mean time, and who, after
they have been 11, fealed. are sure to find a great diminu-
tion of employment, trout the injury inflicted upon the
masters. The inevitable effect of strikes is to level all
merit, to benefit the lazy and incapable at the expense
of the industrious and skilful, and to rob all concerned
in them for the profit of a few agitators and mob-seekers.
Hut though the employers have an unquestionable right
to combine in self-defence against the tyranny of their
combined workmen, and though they are secure of suc-
cess in the end, it is only to be gained by patience, at
some sacrifice, and by joint and prudent action. It is
sure to be logt by any imitation of the unjust and vio-
lent course punmed by the no-n; and it is most espe-
cially at a season of indiscreet and unscrupulous combi-
nation among the latter that the toaster, ought, more
than ever, to beware of encroaching upon just rights,
and rather to give their men more freedom than to curb
them in any manner of way. It must be observed that
all the errors into which one of the parties fall, and
which are the MIMI of their unreasonable and unreason-
ing proceedinp, and which present the enemies of an
extended franchise with their ino4 powerful argument,
come Irian ignorance. If care were taken to teach them
the plain, easily-learnt, and easily-understood principles,
which of all men they have the greatest interest in
undendanding—the relation between prices, including
that of labour and of supply and demand—between capi-
tal and wages—between machinery and profits, as well
of toasters as of workmen—between rights and duties—
between the enforcement of the law and the interests of
all—if these principles were ever present to their minds,
the course of conduct which they often time. pursue, to
their own great detriment quite as much as to the injury
of others would be next to impossible.

A SOLICITOR TIIIIIATEXED WITH Ift:RDER.—At the
Bath police-court • :Tuesday Henry Briakworth, man
of rimpeetable appearance was charged with using threat-
ening language towards Mr. George Con, solicitor, and
putting him in bodily fear. Barnett, a detective police
officer, stated that while on duty on the preceding even-
ing Miss Cox came and requested his assistance in turn-
ing a wan out of the parlour in her father's house, in
Pierrepunt-street. On going there witness found the
prisoner, who refused to leave until he had received
some deeds he wanted. As lie persisted in remaining
unless be was taken into custody, the officer complied
with his wish and took him to the station-house, where
the inspector on duty advised him to adopt the usual
proceedings to recover what he wanted, and then dis-
charged him. On being liberated he threatened to go to
Mr. Cox's again, and to "do" for him. He walked
away, followed by the officer, to Pierrepont-street.
where he walked to and fru and threatened the life of
Mr. Cox. His conduct led to a crowd assembling, and
as he would not go away, the officer again took bun to
the station, and he was locked up. It farther appeared
from the evidence of the presecutor and Wen witnesses
that Mr. Cox was consulted in his profession as a solici-
tor some years since by the prisoner, and in that capa-
city some deeds came into Mr. Cox', possession, which
he could not give up without the consent of all the per-
sons interested. Proceedings had been taken by the
soner to obtain possession of these documents; but Mr.
Cox had gone before • judge, and having explained how
he became the bolder of the deeds the suit was dis-
missed. On the :ird inst, a letter was left at Mr. Cox's
residence by the prisoner, who subsequently met Mr.
Cox in the street, and told him he bad done so. On de-
livering the letter the prisoner told the servant that be
intended to carry out all Ise had said. In this letter
there was the following threat :—" I shall prepare my-
self with proper weapons, and take your life the finds
opportunity I can meet with, let the consequences be
what they may, for I ani satisfied that you are at the
bottom of my misfortune." Mr. Cox instead of calling
on the prisoner to answer this threat, WOW IA him the
next day, telling him the deeds were of no value to him.
On the following day • second letter was delivered by
the prisoner at Mr. Con's residence, in which be said,
" Whether the deeds are of any use to me or not, I ex-
pect you to give them up the same as when they were
handed to you. I an, still in the same mind, and if yoa
do not give the deeds up you must abide by the conse-
quences." The prisoner made • rambling statement,
but added, "I do not deny anything I have said; I
mean all that! have said ; I wish lobe committed for
trial." Mr. E. T. Payne, another solicitor, who was
in court, denied some of the allegations made by the pri-
soner, who, it appears has consulted several lawyers in
Bath, Bristol, and elsewhere, and has been the means of
causing some of them to be examined before the judges.
He was fully committed for trial.
