&mining his stock, as well as his books, showing that it
had been purchased from different parties, and bad been

Mr. W. H. Scott, the laidlord of the Whits Horse, ine
pond that between four and five o'clock en the morning of
Wednesday last his house was broken open, and an hydro-
meter and several articles of jewellery stolen from the bar-
parlour. On the evening of the same day the prhoner,l
of whom be bad some previous knowledge, came in and
said, " Have you been robbed ?" Witness replied
in the affirmative, when the prisoner said, " I think I
can get the things back for yeti. I was at a
place the other night where they were talking
about doing a drum over' " (meaning breaking into some
house). Prosecutor then told him if he could get the hy-
drometer back he would give him • sovereign. The pri-
soner said, "Very well, I'll go and ere." The prosecutor
expressed a wish to accompany Dim to the place, to which
the prisoner strongly objected, alleging as a reason that ii
they were seen together it would frustrate all hie plans.
Witness said in that one he would wait for him at the Sun
and Thirteen Cantons. The prisoner then went away, and
about half-an-hour after he returned with the hydrometer
in his possession, which he said he had pretended to borrow
from a party at a public.bouse, kept by a man named Gra-
ham, in Hayes-court, Nowpsrt-market. Prosecutor took
the hydrometer from the prisoner, whose conduct appeared
so exceedingly suspicious that he requested him to go to the
station-house and have the matter investigated. They subes-
gaudy went to the public-house in Hayes-court, to see if they
could Red the man from whom prisoner alleged he had re-
ceived the hydrometer ; but after waiting till the haus was
closed they retired without succeeding in their object. The

market for cotton cloth and yarn closes without much ani
motion. The feeling we noticed on Tuesday u having
given a considerable Impulse to business has given way to
general distrust and reserve. The more cautious of our
commercial men believed in the rumoured negotia-
tions for peace, and those who on Tuesday were disposed to
do more hulas, on the faith of the statements put forth are
in some cases disposed to compensate themselves by extra
caution. Prices are steady, but very little business is now
doiug, either for home or shipping account, and the egg's-
gate transactions for the week are far from considerable.

WOOLLEN

JAN. 13.7-We have had

..
a good market to-day. There was a respectable attendance
of merchants in the cloth halls, eonsiderable animation, and
an average quantity of cloth seemed to have changed
owner,. There have also been, within the last few days,
some considerable purchases out of the market; on the
whole, there is a satisfactory business doing in Balk cloths
for the commencement of the year. There have been
several buyers in the town daring the current week, which
has infused rather more vigour into tke trade in the ware-
houses.

HARDWARE.—BIIIIIII4OHAM. JAN. 13. Trade here
remains dull, as last reported ; so far there has been little of
an encouraging character in the new quarter. The factors'
orders have not increased to the extent anticipated, and the
travellers generally concur in reporting the country trade
to be in a state of much depression. As regards oar manu-
facturers, this is no longer an exceptional cue; but very few
indeed have more than a scanty supply of orders. In many
instances the workpeople are upon short time, or are work•
ing but three or four days a week. The foreign trade is
without exception dull. In some instances, for the time, it
has fallen almost entirely away, and a portion of the colonial
trade is in not much better condition, especially that of
Canada, from whence there are no order, of any kind. As
regards Australia, all the late advice@ give every gloomy ac-
count of the state of matters in that quarter in respect of the
shipments from this town. There is a glut of hard-
ware goods, and an impossibility of realising at
anything like a reasonable price. A description of
manufactures appears to have been sent out which
era ROC at present required. This sad other circum-
stantiate combine to make heavy losses inevitable. The
fancy trades generally are dull, with the exception of the
papier macho, which has been sustained to some extent by
foreign orders. The Midland Counties Herald has the fol-
lowing paragraph: " We have had the pleasure of inspect.
ing an admirable specimen of art manufacture which Messrs.
Jennens and Bettridge, of this taws, have just completed
for her Majesty the Queen. It consists of a beautiful
papier macht screen, in three folds, the ornamentation of
which is very artistic in design as well as skilful in execu-
tion. The ground colour is maroon, and in the centre fold
are the letters V. and A., inlaid in pearl by the patent pro-
arse of the maanfacturers, and surrounded with an oak
wreath. The sides contain wreaths of Scotch heather,
tastefully arranged, and cleverly painted; and along the
edges of the various folds is a border presenting a novel
combination of the rose, shamrock, and thistle, in gold;
and on the back of each fold is another device of a similar
character, also in gold, with a bordering of shamrock leaf.
The effect of the whole, as may be gathered from these de-
tails, is very chute and attractive, and the sateen in every
way worthy of the long established reputation of the firm
who have had the honour of supplying it."
