WANDSWORTII.

Martha Orredhass, a well-dreamed young woman, was
charged with the following robbery :
Mr. Henry Kiniber, a solicitor, residing at Park-villa,
Wimbledon-park-road, stated that the prisoner was in his
modus upwards of two mouths, and left between three and
four weeks ago, she not suiting, and a character was given
to her, by which she obtained a situation at Ilighbury. Boon
after she had quitted his service a black lace shawl, value
bl., belonging to his wife, and various other articles, were
missed. Witness made inquiry, and saw the prisoner at
Highbury, where he charged her with the robbery. She at
first denied all knowledge of the articles, but afterwards
asked him to forgive her. The lace shawl was recovered,
sod oightgowu belonging to his wife was found in her
box, the initials having been cut off. The witness added
that since the prisoner bad been in custody, he had dis-
covered that she was in the habit of taking wine from his
cellar and giving it to the tradesmen's men. He had also
found that she had seat a hamper of things away. Finding
that she had attempted to corrupt his other servants by in-
ducing them to take wine, he felt bound to prosecute.
The prisoner made no defence, and she was committed for

HIDES AND LEATlLEll.—Although the oast month
has been a time of second complaint of a dull leather trade
the transactions have nevertheless amounted to as nearly as
possible an average of the month of June. It most be re.
membered that it is usually a quiet period, and is not ne.
frequently shortly succeeded by a revival of the demand.
We may hope that as this season affords DO exception to
the customary inactivity at the does of the half-year so we
may also experience the usual improvement as the urea
advances. The supplies of the month have been moderate,
and prices have varied very slightly ; for heavy foreign
butts there is a disposition to make some little further coil.
osmion to effect sales, while other articles are generally un-
altered. There is so feature in the market to warrant the
expectation of soy material chimes in value; the fine
weather giving promise of abundant crops is of course fa.
voamble to the worm' of the consumption, and makes it
probable that, should no political erects occur to influence
commerce in general, the leather trade may still retain its
recent even course, with possibly • little greater firmness
than has exiled during the first half of the year. The
market for raw goods has also been dull, the imports large,
and stocks increased. Priors generally show a slight de.
dine, which is more marked in salted South American hides
than in other articles. At Leidenhall yesterday there wee
a larger supply of fresh leather thee for some weeks past.
The demand was on shoat the recent seals. Dressing hides
and light talf skins were the article* chiefly in request.
Market hides have not been in large supply, end were sold
on easier terms during the fint two or three weeks elf June,
but have since recovered any decline that might have been
quotable. Market calf skins and market home hides are
unaltered in value.—(From the Circular of Messrs. T. J. and
T. Powell)

THE IRON TRADE.—The quarterly meetings of the
'mimesis's of the district commenced yesterday (Wednes-
day), at Wolverhampton. The attendance was small, se-
veral of the leading members of the trade being muongst the
absentees. The banner transacted was on • per with the
&trembly, very few odes of any description of iron having
been reported, • general disposition being manifested
to swerve the business until the Birmingham meeting.
The prevailing opinion appeared to be that "the trade 11

of it as better than it wee • mouth ego, bat all were
agreed that the puddler' strike bad bad • very bad wiled,
orders having been withheld or scut into other districts, is
consequence of the uncertainty which prevails as to when
they may be executed. As to toe "strike" itself, there is no
more prospect of its terminating than there was three
months ago, and so long as it lasts the exceptional condition
in which the trade is will no doubt be experienced. Bet iron
is in moderate demand ; for sheets and plates it is more
active, but there are few makers who are getting within
7s. 6d. per ton if the trade prima In pig iron there was not
much doing at this meeting, but the price even for the best
makes of hot-blast is scarcely so good ea it was three months
since. The general trade of the district was reported favour.
ably of, the tonnages on the cereal being well maintained.
The North Staffordshire iron trade is better than it is in
this district. The works de not quite in full operation
there, but a fair amount of business is doing.
