some writings of the prisoners which corresponded exactly
with the handwriting of the various letters sent to the prose-

MARKETS.

COTTON.—LtvenPoot, Arum 19.—The cotton and
share brokers having kept tu-day as a close holiday, we
have no public transactions to report in either market.
klaNcuesrmi, AVIIIL 19. —We liaVe scarcely had
anything worth terming a market to-day, but so far us busi-
ness has enabled buyers to test prices they are still of a
drooping character, and may be estimated at about 3d. (or
rer more) decline neon cloth and id. per lb. upon
yarn as compared with the rates of this period
last week. fhe news by the Franklin steamer
from the United States has operated rather unfavourably.
By these ads ices it appears that the accounts which went
out by the Baltic—the most favourable that can go out of
the state of this market, because despatched at the moment
when a considerable impulse had been given to this market
under circumstances of a factitious character—had only
raised cotton to the extent of id. per lb., whilst holders dis-
played a good deal of anxiety to sell. This does not tend
to inspire confidence here in the stability of prices, and
buyers, whether for the home market or the export trade,
show a disposition to hold back for a fall. The Germans
are amongst the principal buyers, and operate where goods
can be laid hold of on fasourable terms.

Dlr. Yardley inquired if Mr. Horry could prove that the
handwritings were similar, as that would be very impor-
tant evidence for the prosecution ?
Mr. lorry replied in the negative, and said he had not
had sufficient time to examine the papers thoroughly.
Richard Roberts (the prosecutrix's sweetheart) was then
re-examined.—He said he went to the House of Detention
es Tuesday last, and saw the prisoner. Witness asked him
bow he was getting on, and he replied very sad, as the
Om was very cold. Ile also said that it was a very sad
ask, and desired witness to have an interview with the
Iris, and ask her "to try and make a Haw ill the
=sent." Ile also asked witness to make a flaw, as it
was not too late to do so.
In answer to questions by Mr. Pelham, the witness said
he went to the prison at the request of the prisoner's grand-
mother, and not at the prisoner's desire.
Charles Keen, waiter at the King John public-house,
Holvwell-street, Shoreditch, where the prisoner was appre-
hended, said he remembered seeing the prisoner at his
master's house on Tuesday, the Ist instant. Ile had
some conversation with him, and he said he hail been out on
the previous day with another young man and two females
for a lark, and hail a ride round Poplar.
By Mr. Pelham—The prisoner was at the King John on
Tuesday, the Ist inst., between twelve and one o'clock. lie
also was there during the week, and on the Saturday when
he was taken into custody. The prisoner was at the house
on Monday the 31st of March, and was playing at bagatelle
with some persons. Witness saw bins in the house at three
o'clock, but he was not there sit live o'clock.
Mrs. Roberts, the mother of the first witness, raid the
prisoner came to her house on Tuesday morning, the Ist
rest., and asked if her son was at home. She told him that
he was not, and that he had been taken to a young female
who was in trouble. The prisoner then said he had been
out the previous night, and hail got into some trouble with
a girl, and he did not know whether lie should not be
punished.
Mr. Yardley asked the witness if the prisoner knew that
her son was keeping the young girl's company ?
The witness replied that he did not, and that she was not
aware of the fact herself until a short time previously.
By Mr. Pelham—Was quite certain she dill hid tell the
prisoner that her son had got into a mess about a girl.
'the prisoner said he hail not slept in his mother's house
for four years until that morning, when he knocked her up
at four o'clock, and slept in the arm-chair until the

LINEN.-s-BELYAST, APRIL 17.—Linen cloth in the
finished state is in fair demand, though still under the
average of the spring of 18.30 ; we believe, however, that
the most extensive merchants have little to complain of in
point of lying stock. The local markets fur brown linen
were well attended last week ; and though sales generally
were dull, one gentleman paid away nearly 800!. fur pur-
chases made in the Ballymena market, on Saturday. Spin-
ners arc holding firm for late prices ; and us there is a mo-
derate demand for shipment, and an upward turn in the
ratio of home consumption in consequence of many weavers

mill-spun yarn may continue steady at leapt until a very
marked change takes places in prices of dim—Bonner of

Police-constable Allen, IS G, said he had been to the
prisoner's lodgings, and had searched his he'd and found
some clothes. The witness was about to describe them,
when Mr. Yardley directed that the prosecutrix should be
called, and repeat the di seriptiun of dress she bud on the
fitrmer oceasion asserted the prisoner wore when he forced
her into the cab,
The prosecutrix was brought into the court, and said the
prisoner wore a pair of corduroy trowsers and a black coat
and black neckerchief.
Allen asid that was the description of dress he had found
in the prisoner's box.
Mr. Yardley again asked the girl if she was positive that
the prisoner was the right man
The girl looked at the prisoner, who met her gaze firmly,
and mid she was quite certain in the identity. The prose-
cutrix then repeated her former statement as to going to the
King John public-house, and identifying the prisoner
amongst a number of proms who were sitting in the par-
lour. She added that when the prisoner was given into
custody he said, 6. If I ant in the wrong. s.ou must pay all
expenses," and that hi. name was not Richard Roberts.
This being the case for the prosecution,
Mr. Pelham said he would mention to the court that the
prisoner strongly asserted his innocence, and that he had a
number of want-Asia who would satisfactorily state where
the prisoner was during the whole of the day the occur-
rence was alleged to have taken place.
The first witness called fur the defence was
Mary Ann Carrin, who stated that she was a single
woman, and lived ut No. 10, Gloucester-street, Curtain-
road. She had known the prisoner for the last six years,
and between two and three o'clock on Monday, the list
ult. hr came to her home with a young malt, wit" brought
his hOX. lie lodges in her house, and only remained tire
minutes on that occasion.
Sarah Grey, a married woman, living at No. RI, Curtain-
road, said the prisoner came to her house about five o'clock
on Monday, the 31st ultimo, for the purpose of telling
her that he had left his situation. Ile remaintsl about ten
minutes.
Jane Brooks, barmaid to the Angel public-house, in Fen•
chureh•treet, said she saw the prisoner in the house on
Monday, the 31st ult., about half-past 6 o'clock. Ile had
some porter with a female named Roberts.
Mrs. Ann Roberts, of No. 3, King-street, Mitre-street,
Fenchunfi-street, said the prisoner came to her house nu
Monday, the 31st ultimo. It WAS about half- oast 6 o'clock.
They went to the Angel, and the prisoner said he was going
to Woolwich. She went with him to the railway station
in Fenchurch-strect. That was about 7 o'clock.
Sarah Cram, a single woman, living in Poplar, said the
prisoner came to see her home on Monday evening, the
31st of last month, about five minutes to eight o'clock. Ile
remained with her until ten o'clock, when he returned to
the railway station for the purpose of proceeding to town.
lie had a return ticket.
Jane Brooks was recalled, and said the prisoner returned
to the Angel about half-past ten o'clock, where he remained
until past twelve o'clock.
Mr. Yardley asked the constable what time he discovered
the prosecutrix, and he replied about half-post one o'clock
on Tuesday morning.
Mr. Yardley said this was a very proper case for a jury
to determine, as the evidence was most conflicting. Ile
should not give any opinion upon the nature of the evi-
dence, but he thought the witnesses fur the defence had
given their evidence in a very straightforward manner.
Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, then took the depositions,
and tit, priamer was fully committed for trial.
Mr. Tanlley consented to take bail for the prisoner's
appearace, himself in 106/., and two good sureties in
.16/. each.
The required tail was put in, and the prisoner was
liberated.

WAN DSWORT H.
Alin V.111171111', stockbroker, residing at No. 8, Fans
street, Go-well-street-road, was charged with being drunk
and incapable of driving his horse and gig and resisting the
pslice; and Mrs. Mary I'MM:ince, his was charged
with furiously striving the horse and gig, and seriously in-
juring an omnibus hum, Ac.
It appeared that about half-past eight o'clock on Friday
night, Hewer, Iti:1 V, while patroling the Cavendish-ruad,
Clapham New Park, on horseback, saw the male defendant
driving his horse and gig, in which was his wife, not on the
road but among the trees. The lady risked him if
that was the way to town, and he told them they were
going in the contrary direction, but the defendant crossed
and re-crossed the road so often that the officer, fearing an
accident would occur, called the assistance of Wvcronlw,
272 V., who stopped the horse, and took the whip from the
defendant, who jumped out of the gig, and tried to get the
whip restored. While this was going on, the lady ex-
claimed, " I'll show you how to drive," and set the horse, a
high-spirited animal, off into a gallop of nearly 20 miles an
hour. The mounted policeman followed, hut could not
overtake the gig till it stopped just as it passed the George
inn, at Balham-hill, by running into one of Holden's
omnibuses standing there, severely injuring one of the
horses, smashing one of the plate glass lamps, and injuring
the vehicle itself. The female defendant herself was
thrown out of the gig into the roast between it and the
horses of the omnibus, but fortunately escaped with only a
few slight bruises.
Mr. Holden said the horse. which he had paid 232. for,
was so injured that it was obliged to be killed.
Mr. Poynter said he must recover his hiss at the county
court, and fined each defendant 405., which was paid.

LAUNCH OF AN EAT INDIA3IAN AT WORNINOTON.
—Messrs. W. S. Lindsay and Co., the well known East
India merchants, have determined to build a fleet of supe-
rior construction, to form a new line of ten packets be •
twecn London and Calcutta, at a cost of 150,0001. Two of
these vessels have been launched from one of the yards upon
the Wear. The firs,. the liarrackpore, was chartered by
government for the conveyance of troops, and arrived at
Corfu in 16 days—one of the quickest pagrages on record.
The second was also chartered by government; and the
third, the Dinapore, was launched on Thursday, from the
yard of Mr. Lamport, at Workington. The Dinapore,
which is to be commanded by Captain J. D. Wibon,
is as beautiful a specimen of naval architecture as the
combined skill and science of the nineteenth century ever
produced. Her measurement is 693 tuns old, and about 780
new measurement, keel 138, and estreme length 150 feet,
breadth 31 feet 6 inches, depth of hold 21 feet 3 inches, with
7 feet 3 inches 'twist decks. She is the largest vessel that
has been launched in Cumberland, is classed at Lloyd's as
A 1 for nine years, owing to her flooring being of foreign
oak, but in every other respect she is equal to a first-class
twelve years' ship. Several vessels are in course of pro-
gress at NVorkington. Mr. Lamport has one of about 600
tons for John Atkin, Esq., of Liverpool, and partners
and the keel is read' for another of Messrs. Lindsay's
line, which is to be 460 tons old and about 900 tons new
measurement. Messrs. Peile, Scott, and Co. intend
launching on the 15th proximo a large vessel about 900
tons, for Messrs. Bushby, of Liverpool ; they are also
pushing forward the largest of the lot for Messrs. Potter
Brothers, of Liverpool, which is to be fastened throughout
with copper bolts, and will be classed A 1 for 15 years.—

Wilkes was driving a fine hone in his gig from Park-lane
