that is to say, he was to pot the 6001. in gold into a parcel,
and at twelve o'clock oa Friday night repair personally to
St. Martha's leaned, opposite the General Poet-office. A
preen would meet him there, who would use the words
"Lt parola di Mario -" to whish be was to reply " Primo
Mercurio." This din and isiunter.ign would identify the
parties to each ether, when the money wee to be handed
ever to t spat of the society. If he complied with the
demand ha would be allowed to go free ell over the mad,
sad no further demised would be made upon

reward, or if be attempted to communicate with
the police he would be assusiaated, for the
secret society of the Italians wig so (alted ell over the
world, that let him fly whine be would they valid follow
sad kill him. He immediately came to Sir Peter Laurie
with the letter, who placed the matter is the hands of
Rumen, the detective officer. He went to the General Poet
Office at the appointed hoar, and as the clock struck twelve
he saw the prisoner walking beekwards aid forwards, and he
ease up to him. He said is Italian," Have you received
a letter I" to whisk he replied, " Yes." The prisoner said,
"You know the word?" He said, " What word 1" The
prisoner said, "La parola di Marie," sad be answered
" Yes, ' Prime Meressin.' " The witness then plated his

him. The seems thee raid to the prisoner, " What did
you want hum this gentleman ?" and be said frequently,
" No, I meat nothing."
Sir Peter Laurie—Yon have dose this basis's. very
well, mod very eesrageosely.
Mr. Marla, the Chief Clerk, directed the interpreter to
ask the primmer if be would like have the letter in Ita-
lian read, whisk having been to

The precast said (with uair 'of the greatest indiffer-

He wee a pieta» home make. by Made. They had ascer-
tained something more of the primmer, and required tints

Sir Peter Laurie said this might be Withal or it might
net, but it was of the *Smoot Importance that it should be
tbseeneldy iavertigated. He would remand the prisoner to
a Mena day, sad then give his whole attendee to the case,
mad endeavour, it possible, to deer up the doubts that at
gem ent bang over the matter.
William Raley surrendered in discharge of his bail, to
sower the charge of havin forged the sante of Lord
Weill, and °Wised goods from Messes. Milner, of Moor.
onte-street.
Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Kr. George Marshall, defended
thieprisoner.
The court was crowded to mess.
Mr. Sleigh
_produced the pewee of attorney given by Lord
O&M to Realty, and esatemded there was no ground for
the charge of forgery.
Sir Peter Leone said he should like to hear from the
Mae Russell the result of his inquiries.
George Russell said—ln obedience to your instructions,
I went with the defendant to Milford-road, Old Kent-
road, and with one of the keys found on his I opened the
der. We went in, and I saw a miscellaneous collection of
goods, suck ar I was not surprised at, after reading the
fetter-book which I took from the defendant. There were the
remalas of sasehinery sad other Wags, which looked more
like as if a private still had been there. I eseartalsed that
he was removing goods to Cairn-plea, Peckham, until the
pollee stopped bin. One of Messes. Milser's safes had been
rionveyed-thore.
Loud Colvin was called, and mose-ezansined by Mr. Sleigh.
He admitted his handwriting to the power of attorney, but
said it was got from hire by fraud.
Sir Peter Laurie pessod some severe strictures oa there
who lost goods, sad then were unwillhetie prosecute, when
Lord Colvill said they were not delimited by him.
At this aaseanommeat there arse • beset el indignation in
the court, ad "Look here I leek hem," eseenaillid from
several victims, as they held up the taiga ei Asir severe
lams. Oa. mellow held up three disisaeseed bills for
1001. pounds oath, and a bill for airtime to the intent of
14W., which a diseased relative bed left ammagut his papers.
Another held up a mosey bead fee 600 L, dated the 20th of
°mobile 1865, and upea whisk he would have ad-
vanced '2OOL but fur the reports isthe newspapers.
Another peatlealsa thrust forward a share book ia the
Csdis aid Lead's Wimp Shipping Calaway, saying, " De
you know mythic' of that," sad several others
attached him in a similar manner. He, however, turned
with the greatest coolness, and said, "1 do sot know you."
Mr. °ailing, of Storestrest, Bedford-square, said that in
1852 the defendant Radial induced his to sand I. Leeds
an instrumiell of the voles of 181. Ba., end that when he
applied for payment, through his solicitor, be replied by a
letter which began as follows : "81r,—The remarks of your
yoyoletter are natural, but when we consider that ou have
urself only to blame, they become childish, toy say the
least of them." (Laughter.) He never got his =easy, and
would like to prosecute. if he could.
Mr. Sleigh sold that he had nothing to do with the charge
before the court, as it was only a matter of debt.
Sir Peter Laurie said he felt than was not sufficient evi-
dence to commit the defeedeut, for that no jury would find
him guilty ea the testimony produced, bat he hoped the
other tradesmen from being vie-
7mMirtdr.. would
mlausir:Leinctisithe complaint.
A gentlemen—Sir Peter, why do you not compel Messrs.
Milner to prosecute ?
Sir Peter Lturie—l cannot compel them to prosecute.
The parties and audience then left the court, many of the
latter itiveighing agsiest those who had the power to pro-
secute and would not.

LINEN GOODS.—liancnitersit, Nov. 3.—Of
and the linen
trade in this town Messrs. Richardson, Lee, C
their niaattily circular of this day, report: " The demand
for linens from the larger home trade buyers hes become
extremely limited, but, as a fair trade is being dose by
drapers throughout the country, we look for a moody
resumption of purchases. Stocks of the medium and lower
kinds of both goods and yarns are small, as the ive dr
mend for export, and Me engagement el man act
ken on y mo
oontract orders have prevented accumulatiens of these sorts.
An increased production of hand loom goods since the
harvest, and the necessary caution of the home burin, will
prevent prices rising to the great height some people or
posted them to mech, but from the saucily of Am, and the
pecul.ar poeition of the trade, we do not see any chasm of
immediate redactions, and al yet values are maintained,
not withatanding the serious obstacles to hominess that dear
I money and difficulty in negotiating paper interpose."

WOOL.—Lnins, Nov. 3.—Although the woollen 'Las-
ket to still Rat and quiet, there bas been a little better tone
manifested this morning, and a slight increase in the basi-

ness.
HsArra', Nov. 3.—ln wool, worsted, and yarns no
alteration. A very dull narket.

HARDWARE.—Bnuanolum, Nov. 3.—Trade in this
town is dull, though not so much so that it can be said to
be depressed. Ibe country orders are pretty well kept up ;
they are especially so from Seotland, with which the trade
has been brisk rather than otherwise for several mouths
poet ; and, exempt in respect of some of the fancy trades, the
demand for our manufactures for the home market is
very little below the average. There are some trades suf-
fering, no doubt ; but in the majority of cases the imanufac-
toren have a aufileiatcy:of orders to keep the hands pretty
well employed. The foreign trade is for the moot pert languid,
the American (all orders not baying been quite so I.rge as
it was expected they would be ; but upon the whole there is
not much cause for complaint. The gun and sword makers
are extremely bray, especially the latter, there being some
large government ords ts on hand. In the district, ►usiness
is brisker tbiut it is in the town, but operations are to some
extent checked by raison of the sanity and high price of
foal. The iron trade is in a healthy state ; for manufac-
tured, prices are well maintained. Pig iron may perhaps
be bought a fraction lower than it could be ten days ago.
