THAMES,

Ptusainft is yin Liming Donna.— W. Barren, a
labourer in the London Docks, was charged with unlesstally
Wrkemg a quantity of nutmegs, the property of the London
Dorn_pany.
George Dix, a dock Gaugeable, said prisoner was employed
I on the previous day in the spice warehouse drawing nutmegs
of a very superior quality. When leaving the dock he wee
stopped by Husiton, a gatekeeper, who, on searching him,
found one nutmeg under his arm, three in his pocket", and
16 on the ground, which dropped from other puts of hie
dreg.. When wised bow be butane possastd of them, be
said he piglet.' them up.
Dix told the magatrate that he was desired by the prin-
cipal to inform his worship that if he decided on sending
the case for trial the company would prosecute, but they
would leave the ciao entirely in his worship's Duda.
Mr. highs= decided in sending the prisoncr, who still
persisted in stating that he had picked op the nutmeg*, to
21 days' hard labour.
A eiSTINAItIAN.—Among a number of applicants for
relief from the poor box of this court, wu a widow named
Jackson, who it is said, was born in 1748, and is conse-
quently now 103 years old. Mr. Ingham fleeing caused an
officer to investigate Ler oondition round that she bore a
Rood character, and awarded, her the hut 10s. from the
poorbox.

COTTON.—Ltingroox, Jew. 9.—The sales of cotton to-
day are estimated at 5,000 boles, and consist of about 200
Petnam. and kistanham at 81d. to Bid., 300 Surat at 511 to
6d. Total since Thursday, 33,000. Import sines Thursday,
25,' 00. The market closes heavily ; compared with Friday's
rates, prices of American are nearly id. per lb. in the
buyer's favour, (this applies chiefly to new Bowed and Mobile,
width puma on the market)i all other kinds are unchanged.
MANCIUSTES, JAN. 9.—There is no change in our yarn
and cloth markot since Tuesday. By a slip of the pen in
my account of that day', market I ducribed confidence as
shaken here by the error of the Liverpool " Bank" in esti-
mating the si-ck of cotton at the ycar'e end u so much
below the real amount : it should, of course, have bees the
Liverpool " brokers." As on Tuesday, though there is a
fair emount of business doing, there is less than WC2 ex-
pected ; but the extent to which many of the large epinnen
and manufacturers are under contract keeps stocks so bare
that orices remain tolerably firm. Some of the Greek houses
who have been long out of the market as perchance, are,
however, sow coming in to a moderate extent; and the
East India buyers eagerly stile any appearance of a soften-
ing of pricer, and give out large orders. On the whole
prim, though firm, have a relaxing rather than hardening
tendency. In the home trade, the purchases recently made
have been very curative, and for the moment their wants
app, ar to be pretty much supplied.

111ANUFACTURES.—BIlADFORD, Jan. 9. —Yarns : The
business is autite congaed to home operations, and the
quantity consumed is hut little short of the y roduc:ion. The
advanced price of Wool and tops has made tee position of
the spinners anything but profitable, and there is no dint).
sition to spin the stock at the prices now current. It is more
than prob•ble that the shippers may now come into the mar-
ket, In which case there will be a briskness, at en advance in
price. Pieces : There is a very lair business deing in C burgs
and o.leans, and the stocks on band not heavy. There is
more doing for America, end so soon as the German houses
°perste for the spring fair, we may expect a lively business
being done. Prices for all kinds of goods very firm.

WOOL.—BRADFORD, Jao. 9.—The heavy purchase' made
last month of combing Wools have evidently deterred the
spinners from continuing to buy, u the prices now sought
are too high to induce further animated operAtions, and
vaplenficid it squally difficult to replete their stooks in the
country OP as to :nuke a profit here.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—NOTTINGHAM,
Jan. 9.—Toe wrought cotton kme branch emiinues in the
healthy state previcusly reported, tho frame', with the ex.
ceptien of the extra flue gauges, being well employed. The
same may reported of the machine-wrought cotton hose,
which, though they have additional apparatus to increase the
speed, are not made so cheap u mi,ht be expected from the
use of additional machinery. The cut-ap branches, the ar-
ticles being in general fabricated in a aaperior manner, are
likewise in a very fair condition. At present, they have not
felt the competition of the roundabout frames, which with
sine of the hosiers Lave materially lowered in estimation,
it king now pretty generally admitted that they are
not calculated to make stockings or socks—being more
adapted for shirts and petticoats. The glove trade,
km silk and c.tbin, is in .1 fair condition, with great
hopes of an extending epring trade. The drawer,
pantaloon, and shirt branch is but dull, the shirt depart-
ment, despite of the roundabouts, being in most demand, the
manufacture being evidently on the incense.. They were
ant made of ILecy hosiery, a practice which is gradually
becoming extinct. The cotton bobbin net trade, with a
few exceptions, is very dull, many of the warehouses
having been working short hours. The out-door
(emu's have been suffering severely for want of em-
plot went, but they are so much recovered, that they have
neen working long boars. With the exception of cue fo
reign hone, there is but little &civil' displayed for the
Leipsie foie, which Leo now been held a week. This has
principally arisen frcm the state of Germany, as the number
of machines In that regi et of many kings and states, hu '
decreased instead of increased. The plain trade, owing to
the restrictions in the Austrian states, is much better than
the fancy branches. The black silk lace trade is but dull,
which is the reason why so many pusher machines have been
exported to France. The white silk trade, both warp and
bobbin, is a shade better than the black. The mechanics are
at length paying greater attention to the making of fancy
traversed laces, which has hitherto permeated great difficul-
ties ; al patents have been obtained for improved
methods of leavening, but they have all failed. Two-thirds
of the lace now mule is not traversed, especially what Is made
in the Midland C,minties. The working of braidiegs end
other articles resembling cloth work, is also engaging the
attention of the mechanics, who have begun to produce their
siecinuns.—Noffs Review.

IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.
MINGYAII, JAL 9.—The adjourned meeting of the
ironmaaten of Staffordshire and Shropshire has been held at
too Town hall Lore to-day; the attendance was much
larger than at Wolverhampton yesterday. The trade was
slid to present scarcely so encouraging an appearance
s it did before Christmas, and buyers rather Lang fire;
the result is that prices remain precisely as they did at
the last quarter day, with the single exception of pigs,
which are about 25.. 6d. better. Such is the fact, after Al
the elaborate speculations and prognostications about
an advance in prices, which the public have been
led to expect during the last six weeks. There
never was any ground for these statements; and, to say the
least of them, they are highly injurioul to the trade, as well
calculatel to mislead the public. It is high time that
iron trade "reports," as they are called, should be sifted
and exposed ; let the truth then be told—it is a delusion to
talk of contracts having been given for thousands of tons
of iron at an advance of 10e. per ton. The meeting to-day
was rather dull than otherwise, and an advance in prices
at present is out of the question. It will afford
some grounds at least for congratulation if present
prices can be kept firm during the ensuing quar-
ter, and if the demand is sufficient to prevent the
smaller makers underselling. One or two of the largest
iroomasters was absent from the meeting to-day, and it is
understood that they have severed themselves altogether
from the routine form of fixing prices, but that they will
issue their circulars and be guided altogether by events;
so that, in truth, even the outward form of the old
system of compact has been broken up. The menu-
Mennen here have not ordered largely to-day, although
they are consuming just now a considerable quantity
of iron; but the ironmasters seem to have rather
sanguine hopes of large orders from America during the
ensuing summer; and as it Is known that in some pens of
Europe considerable quantities of iron will shortly be re-
quired, the prospects of the trade look rather more cheering
than they did twelve months since. The coal trade remains
steady ; and, with the exception of the tin plate trade, the
men are all quietly at their work. It is proper also that it
should he stated, that notwithstanding the depression which
has existed during the ►ast twelve month', few of the iron-
toasters have made any attempt to reduce the wages of the
workmen. The final meeting of the trade takes place at
Dudley on Saturday night.

PUtEYIBM AT HEWORTII.—B•RAING OUT TIM
PARlSH.—Cossiderable excitement has been caused in the
neighbourhood of Newcastle by the Pima( istic performances
of a certain body of young clergymen having the past..ral
oversight of some of the churches in the colliery villages on
the banks of the Tyne. We reported last week what the
parish of Wellsend did with its pastor; and we have now to
report what the acting clergyman, the Rev. J. Tonkins, did
with the parish of Haworth. Haworth is a large manatee
taring, mining, and agricultural parish within about 2j
miles of Gateshead, end contains a population of some 8,000
souls. The Rev. M. Plummer is incumbent, bat has not been
in the parish for six years ; he and his lady, on amount
of the delicate condition of their health, having to reside in
the south of England. In his absence the pastoral over-
sight is entreated to the Rev. John Tonkins and the Rev.
Walter Kendall, curates, Mr. Tonkin' representing
the incumbent. The honest, simple-hearted people of the
parish have been filled with astonishment at what they con-
sider the popish innovations that have been introduced into the
ritual of the church by the officiating clergy men. The curates,
being of the Bt. Batnsbas school, in fact, the Rev. Mr. Le
Grace, the Rs,. Mr. Bennett's curate, received his
education in Haworth parish, being translated from Haworth,
where he officiated as curate some time, to London.
The parishioners have long protested with the incumbent
sgainat the conduct of his curates in performing the ritual of
the church from time to time, but without effect ; and it was
at last determined to hold a parish meeting, and memorialise
the Bishop of Gorham on the subject. Accordingly a requl.
sition having beensreseoted to them, a meeting was called
for Tuesday evening, at half-past five, by the churchwar-
dens; but on the people assembling it was found that the
vestry and the church doors were barred against them.
They then sallied off to the National-school, expecting to
find a place of meeting, but that building was also locked
up, and the key safe in the Rev. Mr. Tonkin.' pot het.
The people then, altar a parley, made to the inn of the
village, from one of the windows of which, though
it was raining, and a miserable bleak night, they were ad.
dressed by Mr. Clark, one of the churchwardens, Mr. W.
Lockey Hale, solisitor, and by Mr. Grace, a neighbouring
gentleman. From the statements made by these gentlemen,
when the churchwardens found they were locked out, they
went on to the residence of Mr. Tonkins, and demanded an
explanation, which he condescended to give in a brief note,
ready cut and dry for them. He said he knew the object of
their meeting, and would not have the place of God dese-
crated by their conduct, and refused to deliver up the keys.
Mr. Harle, in the few remarks he addressed to the people,
advised them to go home, and adjourn the meeting
until a more favourable opportunity. They could not
degrade the solemn subject they had met to dis-
cuss by holding the meeting in a public-house, and
from the inclemency of the weather it was impoesible for
them to hold their meeting in the open air. A person in the
crowd asked if it would be lawful to break open the
vestry door with a crowbar t—Mr. Hula said he would not
give an opinion on the matter.—After a vote of thanks to
the churchwardens the meeting broke up, but it is deter-
mined to hold another as soon as ever a place of meeriag can be
second. Our correspondenr was informed that out of the
large population stated above the average attendance at church

down the bar chimney of thilard's Dragon Inn in that vil-
lage, a canister of gunpowder, which, inimediativ on reach-
Mg the fire, exploded with • great noise. The ores of the
shock threw the servant girl (who was the only person then
in the room, and at some distance from the fire) on the floor,
burnt a portion of her hair off her head, and morohed her in
several places, though not severely. Had the wretch perpe-
trated the outrage a few minutes earlier the causaquencee
would have been dro add, as Mrs. Hillard, the landlady, had
been sitting by the fire, with an infant in her lap, and had
only retired net as the mischief was done.
