learned beyond a doubt that the money was part of the
produce of a daring and estensivo robbery, about which it
would not, for the present, be advisable to say more. He
therefore prayed a remand.
They were remanded accfrdingly.
mmtapie 5'041,14, a cigar-maker, of 130, Oaldea-lane,
was charged with resulting behaviour to seven youths, ap-
prentices under his care.
The prisoner was committed to Ncwgate.

George Sorrell was charged with hating committed several
acts of violence while drunk.

AbOntterTo'cioeko;ici;lay night, while rolling drunk
in Victoria-place, llorton, ho smiished a large square of
glue in a shop window, and then violeiXy assaulted Mr.
John Joseph, a clerk, who had run out on homing the
fracas, and whose shirt (rent be tyro to pieces.
Policemen LW.Ler took hint iuto custody, and while in
confinement he split in two the door of the cell in which be '
was placed.
Mr. Hammill sentenced the prisoner to pay 4c., or four
days' imprisonment, for the broken window ; and 20s-, or
fourteen days imprisonment, for the a•sault on the witness
Joseph; and iis. also, or live days, for the destruction of the
gentleman's linen; 7'., or sevi.n days, for the damage he
had done to the door of the police cell; and finally, 10s., or
fourteen days' imprisonment for his disgraceful and riotous
conduct in the station. . _

Two ladies of property, named Jane and Lucretia Ireton, ,1
the ownen of 24 dwelling-houses in Dunk-street, Mile-end '
New Town, were summoned for having suffered them to '
be in such a filthy sad unwholesome condition as to be
seriously detrimental to the health of the inhabitants.
Mr. Rude, from the office of Mr. Smith, Vestry Clerk
to the Whitechapel Union, stated, that the prosecution was
founded upon a formal report from their medical officer.
No steps whatever bed been taken to render the houses
more habitable, although the abominable condition of the
premises had been specially referred in the Registrar-Gene-
ral's report, and denounced in the strongest terms at various
inquests which had been held before the coroner of the
district. Nearly all the cases of cholera with which
the district had been afflicted, had occurred in that street.
Mr. Rammill said that he would not allow of a mo-
ment's delay in a ease in which the health and lives of the
community were so seriously effected, but should issue an
imperative order for the suppression of the nuisance
within 48 hours, which would empower the parish anthce
lilies, unless it were properly attended to, to adopt the
necessary measures for carrying i: into effect at the expense
of the defendants.

MARKETS.

HARDWARE.

BIRMINGHAM. Nov. 12.—0 n ail hands it is now ad-
mitted that trade is in a most flourishing state. Most of
the manufacturers are very full of orders, and although
there has been for the last two or three years a constant en-
largement of manufactories, and many new ones erected,
webilieve there is less of actual competition, and that pro-
fits are upon the ge larger than they were four or five
years ago, although in the meantime t:,e men's wages have
been advanced, and other drawbacks have been encoun-
tered. The last month's Board of Trade returns nfford
evidence enough how enormously the export trade goes on
increasing: the condition of trade in this district, for the
last seven months of 1852' was perhaps better than it bad
been—certainly than it had been for many years—still we
find that the value of the last month's exports in hardware
and cutlery, machinery, and iron, has exceeded that of the
corresponding month of last year by 600.0501. Neither
does there appear to be any immediate probability of the
export trade declining; in fact, we have seen letters within
the last few days which hold out the prospect of a very
brisk trade, and of in some instances • larger
demand fur some goods than there has been for
several years. Copper has gone up a penny per ib., but
the rise had been for some time past expected ; it has been
followed by an advance of prices upon an immense number
of articles hero manufactured ; many new lists were issued
this morning, and others are in course of preparation for
circulation amongst the factors and merchants, the former
of whoa are complain op. with some bitterness, of the ever
varying prices which have marked the present year. Very
much of this has undoubtedly been attributable to the un-
certain state of the metal market, but also has it to the un-
precedented pressure of orders, which has made even the
little garret men independent. The home trade continues
healthy, and in some branches there is still a scarcity of
workmen, instead of sr formerly the means of employing
them. The high price of coal,and the difficulty of obtaining it
in sufficient quantities, is likely to lead to a very important
measure by the owners and lessees of mines, having for its
object to procure a large and a certain supply of the com-
modity. At the present time there are hundreds of acres
beneath which the coal lies in vast thickness, but from
which it is impossible to procure it because of the inef-
ficiency of the drainage, or rather because of the almost
entire absence of any drainage at all; the consequence
is that the mines are oftentimes filled with water—
they were specially so during • great part of
last season and at all times this has the
effect of diminishing the produce of the district to an im-
mense amount. Tha remedy is only to be found in a
general drainage of the district, because it is sufficiently
obvious that it is entirely useless for one proprietor to
drain unless his neighbour does likewise. It is proposed
now to solve the difficulty by that general drainage, and
with the view to effect this it has been resolved to go to
parliament for the necessary powers to do this most need-
ful work, and for authority to levy a small rate on every
ton of coal raised from all the mines in the district, for the
purpose of defraying the expenses incurred. Some of the
principal mineowners, in conjunction with the Canal Com-
pany, are promoting this really useful measure, which, if
fully carried out, will result in the working of mines at
present neglected, and give to us asupply of coal which
under existing cireums•ances there is no probability of our
obtaining. The miners have now all returned to their
work, but all through the coming winter the dearness and
scarcity of the commodity is inevitable.

COTTON.—Lyrnumoox, Nov. 12.—The market closed
tersely yet firmly, and prices of all descriptions have un-
dergone no change. The sales have amounted to 5,000
hales, and comprised, in addition to America's, 100
Egyptians, 61d. to 71d. ; and 300 Surat., 21d. to 31d.
per lb. Import since Thursday, 5,000 bales.
MANCHESTER, Nov. 12.—There has been no improve-
ment in demand, but the market her undergone little or
no change since this day week. There is some inquiry for
light cloths, especially shirting', and for 40's and 50'si
mule yarns of India qualities. -Warps, more especially 16's
to 24's, are also rather firmer. Except for thew and fine
goods, however, prices are generally an favour of buyers;
and any increase of production which must result from
resumption of work by the mills at Preston, Burnley, and
other places by the termination of the strike, would pro-
bably be followed by a great fall in values. It is generally
believed that if the strikes should terminate that missy of
the mills would not resume, whilst others would run only
for two to four days per week. Under these circumstances
there is 1 ttle prospect of an improvement of values. A
slight increase of demand whilst production is so much cur-
tailed may lead to an advance in one or two descriptions of
cloth or yarn, but it must necessarily be only of a temporary
character, inasmuch as it would take a very sudden and
extensive revival of our trade to place values on the foot-
ing they were a few months ago.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lanne, Nov. 12.—We have
had a good brisk market to-day. In both the cloth halls there
was much activity, and a considerable quantity of cloth has
been sold. There have been several buyers in the town
during the week, and a better business has been done in
those warehouses that are mainly engaged in supplying the
London demand. As the season for the country trade is
drawing to a close, that branch of our business is rather
quiet. The shipping houses are generally still.

CORN.--CAMSIIIDOI, Nov. 12.—We had a good supply
of wheat and barley today, with no alteration in price
from last week. Wheat, red, 681. to 725. per qr. ; white,
78s. Barley, 38s. to 48s. Beans, 48e. to 50s. Oats, 250.
to 301.

Cawrissunav, Nov. 12.—We had a good supply, and
a very dull sale, prices about the same. Wheat, brown,
old, 70s. to 765. per qr. ; new, 68s. to 765. ; white, new,
78s. to 83s. Barley, 38s. to 465. Oats, 31s Beans, 371.
to 465. Peas, 46e. to 621.

C.IIIILIBLI, Nov. 12.—We had a large ;supply of wheat
at our market this morning, upon which a decline of 6d. to
ls. per bushel took plasm. Th. supply of barley and oats
was about an average, and last week's rates were obtained.
Wheat, white, new, 295. to 311, ; old, 30s. to 321. Wheat,
red, new, 28s. to 295. 6d. ; old, 29.. to 30s. Barley, new
and old, 16s. Od. to 17s. Od. Oats, potato, old, lls. 6d. to
12s. ; new, 9s. 9d. to lls. ; common, old, 10e. 6d. tolls. 3d.;
new, 9i. to 10s. Rye, 19s. Beans, 19s. Flour per stone,
3s. 2d. to 3a. 4d. Oatmeal, 2s. 4d. ltyemeal, 21. Barley
meal, la. 10d.

CoLcassrut, Nov. 12.—A short supply of wheat, peas,
and beans—the former Is. to 21. dearer. Peas unaltered in
value. Barley plentiful ; good malting sold at about late
rata; inferior le. to 2s. cheaper.

GLOUCESTII, Nov. 12.—The beautiful weather for all
field work causes short deliveries of English wheat, and
millers supply their wants with difficulty at last week's
rates. Foreign is in rather better demand, and holders
will only accept extreme prices. Barley of all sorts in brisk
demand, and finds a quick sale at our top quotations. Beans
extremely scarce' 'and very high prices are realised for this
grain. For oats the demand fully equals the supply. Im-
ports of the week ending Nov. 12 :—Wheat, 800 qn. ; bar-
ley, 1,959 ; oats, 4,132.
Ocimoronro, Nov. 12.—W0 received a fair supply. of
wheat, for which there was a more lively trade, arid prices
in man instances were a shade higher. Wheat, 61s. to
87s. Barley, 350. to 441. Oats, 25e. to 30e. Beans, 465.
to 625. Peu, 48e. to 60s.

REaTFOID, Nov. 12.—The wheat trade to-day far the
best samples fully supported lut week's prices ; supply fair.
Barley ruled dull, but not lower, supply good. Oats made
lut week's prices. Pear and Beans met a ready sale at
quite as much money. Wheat, 301. to 50s. per load. Barley,
33.. to 50s. per qr. Oats, 20s. to 30s. Peas, 28s. to 33e. per
load. Beans, 28s. to 38s. Tares, 40s. to 441. Rye, 21s. to
245.

NEWCASTLE reort-TYNE, Nov. 12.—The weather this
week has been of the most auspicious character possible for
seeding operations, in which considerable progress has been
made, and the breadth sown is likely to be mere extensive
than has been the ease fora series of years. The seed has
certainly been placed into the ground under the most
favourable circumstances, but the extra quantity sown will I
draw largely upon the resources of an already ascertained
deficient crop, and some farmers go so far 'stony that after
'seeding operations shall have been completed, many of their
nhave Ineighbou will little to spare to bring to market. The
accounts from the country to-day respecting potatoes are
the worst we have received yet, whether, however,
the present dry weather will arrest the spreading
of the direase, time alone can unravel. The trade
in the early part of the present week was cha-
racterised by great listlessness, and to effect sales oa
Tuesday lower rates had to be submitted to on wheat and
flour, but as the week advanced rather more disposition
was evinced to purchase the former article, and prices were
paid which the millers had declined to entertain previously.
With the exception of barley, which had to be parted
with on lower terms, other articles have undergone little
change. At our market this morning we had a much less
supply of wheat from the grewers, but from abroad the
arrivals are to a liberal extent, which, however, not being
generally offered for sale, had the effect of imparting moer
tone to the trade. Fresh thrashed samples were cleared
off early at a small improvement, the demand for seed
being great, but in the value of soutk country or foreign
we have little variation to note. For the best new south
country red 78e., may be deemed an extreme quotation,
whereas Holstein red and qualities of a like character
met attention at 745., good runs of Dantsie, 76e.
to 78s. ; Polish white, 765., and soft Petersburg,
645. per qr., all weighed 641bs. per bushel.
In flour there was rather more passing, but prices remain
unchanged. In rye little stirring. For the best descrip-
tions of malting barley late rates were sustained, but the
intermediate descriptions were difficult of disposal, though
offend at a reduction of 2s. per qr. For malt there was a
fair inquiry. Boiling peas in slow request, and not worth
more than 58s. to 60s. Beans fally as dear. With oats we
wero scantily supplied, and choice new sold freely at fully
former rates, but for old the demand was less active than of
late, whilst 325. may be considered a very extreme quota-
tion for sweet old Scotch weighing 421b5., and 271. to
275. 6d. for Archangel, weighed 401bs. per bushel. The ar-
rivals this week are :—Wheat, coastwise, 1,530 in. • fo-
reign, 7,743 ; rye, coastwise, 340 ; barley, coastwise, 227
foreign, 125 ; malt, coastwise, 20; oats, coastwise, 950;
foreign, 1,400 ; peas, coastwise, 70 ; flour, 1,610 sacks.

NORWICH. Nor. 12.—Our market this day was rather
thinly attended by farmers. The quantity of wheat on
offer was about an average (much lees than was anticipated);
at the commencement prices ranged 2s. per qr. low than
this day oe'nnight, but at the close similar prices to last
week were obtained ; condition improved Flour met a free
sale at prices tally equal to last market day. Barley trade
languid, offer large ; a concession of le. per quarter was
made by the sellers. Beau and Peas no offer. Oats smell
supply, condition poor; prises 'dewed. 2e. per qr. Wheat,

white, 78s. to 609. Der qr. ; red. 725. to 765. Barley,
44e. to 16a. Oats, 375. to 31,. Flour, fine households,
539. 61. to 511. per tack of 280,b5. pow, sack included io
the purchase, buyers claiming one mmth's credit.
Pwrzanottorou, Nov. 12.—With a fair supply of wheat
here tJ•day, last week's prises were fully supported. We
bad a good deal of btrley, fine sanu•lo. Is. to 2,, nn 1 all
below that description 2a. to 31. per qr. lower. Beans,
both old and new, could be bought at 2.5. per qr. under last
I week's prices. A good supply of oats, which found ready
ibuyers et lid. to 15d. per stone. _ _

READING, Nov. 12-We had a much leu supply of
wheat than usual; had not the dealers brought out their
stock it would not have been equal to the dem and. Prices
were much in unison with last market-duv. Barley was
more plentiful, while first-rate samples sold readily at top
prices; secondary qaalitiee moved slowly at barely late
currencies, and grinding samples must he noted lacheaper.
Beans, peas, and oats without alteration.
Woncrartrt, Nov. 12 -Our market was fairly supplied
with wheat to-day, and sales could only ba (Meted by sub-
mitting to a reduction of Is. to 25. per qr. Barley dull and
rather cheaper. Oats sold slowly at the currency of this
day se'ennight. Beans were again Is. per qr. dearer, and
Egyptian scarce and inquired for. Not much doing in peas.
Wismiteu, Nov. 12.-The weather durin; the week hav-
ing been remarkably flue for the finishing of wheat sow-
log, our supply of grain to-day has been much smaller than
it otherwise would have been, coasequentty wheat was in
goad demand, and Is. per qr. dearer. Oats, beans, peas,
and barley sell readily at something over last week', prices.
l'rices to the growers :-Wheat, old, 60s. to 745. per qr. ;
new, 581. to 765. Oats, 131. to 14d. per stone. Beans, 465.
to 655. per qr.
YORK, Nov. 12.-We had only a moderate show of
wheat at our market to-day, for which farmers insisted
upon last week's prices, which were reluctantly paid. Bar-
ley in good supply, and Is. per qr. lower. Beans and oats
scam, and fetch full prices. Flour, 3s. per sack lower than
last week. Wheat, white, 7es. to 78.. per qr. imp. ; red,
725. to 745. Barley, malting, 385. to 425.; grinding, 3Gs. to
38s. Malt, 68s. to 70s. Oats, 13d. to Idd. per stone of
141bs. Flour, 58s. to 61s. per sack of 280Ibs.
KIIMOALDY, Nov. 12.-With the exception of Tuesday,
on which morning a good deal of rain fell, we have had a
week of favourable weather for securing the remainder of
the outstanding corn, lifting the residue of the potatoes, and
for wheat sowing on all moderately dry lands. At our
country markets this week, the supplies of all kinds of corn
were much short of what we might have naturally expected
about term time. Farmers hold wheat st;flly at late prices ;
any fine parcels of new bring extreme rates for seed ;
middling and inferior lots, 21. to 35. per qr. lower. Barley
sells readily enough, although prices turn rather in favour
of buyers. Oats eagerly sought after at Gd. per qr. advance.
litre, to-day, we had unusual small supplies of all kinds of
grain. Wheat and barley sold slowly; the former at fully
last week's rates, the latter at from Gd. to Is. per qr. lower.
Oats sold quickly at Gd. per qr. advance. Wheat, old, 745.
to 82s. per qr. ; new, 665. to 84s. Barley, new, 325. to 41s.
Oats, new, 255. to 30s. Oattneal, per bag of 2901ba., 41s.
to 425.
Donuts, Nov. 11. - We have scaroety any altera-
tion to report in our corn market since Tuesday. To-
day the best qualities of wheats, oats, and barley fully sup-
ported the currencies of that day, and in some cases prime
oats were 64. d . Middling and inferior descriptions
of all were dull of sale, but not generally cheaper. There
was scarcely any inquiry for Indian corn. White wheat,
38s. 61 to 425. ; red do., 365. to 405. Od. ; barley, 16s. to
20s. Od. ; bert, 15s. to les.; eats, white, 139. 64. to 151.;
do. tawny, 12s. to 14s. ed. ; rapeseed, 275. 6d. to 20s. 641. ;
oatmeal, 14a 6d. to 165.041. ; bakers' flour, 225. Od. to 269. ;
Indian corn, per 4801 be 40s. to 455. 6d.

WATESPORD, Nov. 12.—The weather has at length be-
come dry, and our farmers have commenced wheat sowing,
with fair prospects, the land being now in a good state to
receive the seed. Our imports of grain continue moderate,
and supplies from farmers have beea small througont the
week ; still the trade has been void of animation ; and all
kinds of wheat have declined fully Is. per bar-
rel, without attracting buyers. Barley and oats
meet • good inquiry for export, and dry, sweet
samples of each bring full prices, but damp and
ordinary parcels are cheaper and difficult of sale. Indian
oorn without change in price, and the consumptive demand
in some districts is maifestly increasing. Flour dull of sale,
and the value of superfine. is reduced Is. per uck. Inverts :
Wheat, 250 qrs. ; Indian corn, 5,460 ; flour, 105 sacks.
Exports: Barley, 2,038 barrels; oats, 6,540; flour, 1,181
sack.; Indian corn, 1,180 barrels; oatmeal, 180 cwt.".
