one of substaom or fOllll, sod he thouid ft:writ is 1.., con-
soleratiou. _ _

14 pri•onen were remanded.
In this cue a matter was elicited which appeared to
excite some interest among the numbers of the bar. Mr.
Metcalfe questioned Inspector Hancock as to whether he
had himself or knew of any other person haring given
iastructions to the attorney who had given the brief to
Mr. Cooper to prosecute.—The witness stated positively
that he knew nothiag at all about it, except that the
brief was given to Mr. Cooper by a person he was cc-
quain•ed with, named Page, who acted for an attorney
named Davies. He swore that he had had no conversa-
tion whatever oa the subject of the ease •kb Page or
any other person, and stated that had it been mooted to
him he should have shunned the person who mooted it.
Mr. Cooper said his brief was endorsed with the name of
an attorney, Mr. Davies, for whom he was aware that Page
acted. He was aware that Page was not an attorney,
although he appeared in that capacity in cases which came
before the court, but he never received a brief from him in
his life, but as the clerk of Mr. Davies, whose name was
always endorsed on those ha did receive. Mr. Davies had
told hire to take briefs from Page on his account, and had
spoken to him as to this very case, but he never received
fees from Page, they were always paid by Mr. Davies.
The Assistant Judge said there was no imputation what-
ever on Mr. Cooper, or any one but Davies, and the ques-
tion was where did he get his instructions from ?
Mr. Metcalfe said he had not the least intention to im-
pute anything to Mr. Cooper, whose practice they all knew
was as honourable as that of any gentleman at the bar.
Mr. Payne said this system had been going on some time.
The cases were taken up on speculation on the chance of
the costs being allowed by the court, hut they had not been
able until now to get at the feet that no instructions had
been given. It was a very serious evil.
Tha Assistant Judge said he should require Mr. Davies
to make an affidavit stating where he got his instructions to
prosecute from ; and if that affidavit was not made, or was
not satisfactory, he should refer the matter to the Law So-
ciety. Ile then directed that the desire of the court that an
affidavit should be made should be officially communicated
to Mr. Davies.

MA ItKETS.

COTTON.-I.lcettrom., it:NE 21.—The pales to-day are
estimated at 6,000 bales, and consist i.f shout 100 l'ernem
sad Marenh.-in, at (I}d. to 41.; 150 Itehia, at 614. ; 100
Egy ptien, at 61,1. ; end 600 Surat, at 31,1. to 434.; the
rest American. The market clasp• tamely but firmly.
There is no change in prices.
ANCHTS rim, JUNE 21.—Exporters continue to operate
very cautiously, ■ad cotton yarns and cloths, such as are
initially taken by the foreign trade, move off *lowly. The
India •deices by the overland mail, now to hand, are con-
sidered discouraging, from the giving way of ergo' in the
eastern markets, though stocks bad been • good deal cleared
off. Here, however, producers are unwilling to make any
change, and the fabrics of good quality are almost unsale-
able, but light low madapollenis, and light low shirting'',
are in better demand, though a limited business only hes
been effected in them this morning. The home trade is
brisker, especially in the fabrics required by printers, and
in this trade we constantly hear of buyers who have •
difficulty in suiting themselves with the goods they re-
quire ft about consenting to wait • con.iderable time for
deliveries. In yarns the general report is one of flatness,
without chance of prices ; but there are exceptional cases
in which houses report • very fair ain,,unt of orders.
Warps have in some cues been bought easier, but pricer;
are generally very firm. The turn-out at Stockport con-
tinues, and there is no prospect of a settlement at pre-
sent. At Glossop the hands have been successful in re.
ducing the hours of labour, but a strike regarding prices
is considered likely.

WOOLS.-11uDDER8FIILD, June 21.—The demand for
Wools continues bri.k, ar.d prices are fully maintained so
far, but our importations having recently been very heavy,
manufacturers are looking forward to prices being a shade
easier.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LEEus, Joye 21.—There has
only been a very poor attendance of merchants in the Cloth
halls in cnn►equence of the morning being very wet and
dark, and only a limited hu.iness has been dune. The tone
of the market was decidedly flat and cpuet.

MANUFACTURES.iIVDDEILATIILD, June 21.—The
attendance of merchants in the Cloth-hall to-day has not
been numerous, neither does the demand appear to keep
pace with the supply. The unsettled state of affairs in
the east, caused a doubt as to whether the present high
prices will be sustained, and buyers are, in consequence, li-
miting their transactions to their immediate wants.

CORN.-11t•cr., June 21.—The trade has lost the
buoyancy of last week, hut holder* regard the pause as
only temporary, and do not seem inclined to make any con•
cet.ion in price. The imports of the week are moderate,
sad have not been added to since the account below was
made up. To-day's market was well attended by farmers
and factors: the former brought a very small supply of
Wheat, and were very firm in I heir demands for folly last
week's prices, to which the latter demurred, but had ulti-
mately to yield compliance; under such circumstance the
actual bas iness was limited. Not much foreign Wheat
showing, and prices without change. Barley is scarce and
inquired for. Beans (German) not so good to sell, but
Egyptian, from their comparative cheapness, are fully as
dear. No good Peas on the market. Oats scarce
and the turn d : the great demand for
London diverts some portion of the wonted supply..
With a good supply, the Linseed market must be written
ls. dearer all round ; the late advance in English Cakes is
well supported, and there are no good Foreign on the mar-
ket. No transactions in Itlpeored. Cakes are firm. Bones
were eaceedingly dull all last week, but some large parcels
being ordered to the yard, and rain having fallen, we hate
esterday and to-day an improved demand. Imports from
June II to 17:—Wheat, 4,433 qrs. ; Barley. 2,062; Beans,
1,113; Peas, 71; Linseed, 7016; Bones, 1841.

Lzeos, JealE 21.—Our reported arrivals are small, but
there is a fair show of wheat to this day's market. The
trade is firm, with a moderate extent of business passing at
Friday's rates. Barley nominal. Beans as before. Oats
All other articles maiutain their value. Arrival.. this week :
Wheat, 5,024; Oats, 41; Barley, 36; Beans, 295; Rape•
seed, 310.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 21.—The import note this week
shows fair supplies of wheat, Amur, and oats. The busi-
wss since last Tuesday has been very moderate, the
millers and dealers acting cautiously ; and, where transac-
tions have occurred, the price his been in tavour of the
buyers. The Corn Exchange this morning was slenderly
attended by buyers, and the transactions in the leading ar-
ticles were unimportant. Holders generally required last
week's prices for wheat and *me, but in the business done
a slight concession had to be submitted to, and on the mid-
dling descriptions of wheat the reduction was Id. to 2J. per
bushel. Oats were ember dearer. Oatmeal did not move
so freely. Indian corn was neglected, and barely supported
late rates. Beans, peas, and barley were held firmly for
late prices. Arrivals into Liverpool from the 14th to the
20th June, inclusive: Wheat, 15,310 qrs.; Barley, 1,375 ;
Malt, 897 ; Oats, 5,303 ; Beans, 2,077; Peas, 656; Indian
Corn, 4n; Oatmeal, 170 sacks; Flour, 582 sacks, 18,876
brls. Into Runcorn: Oats, 737 qra. Exports to Ireland:
Wheat, 88 qrs.; Indian Corn, 3,555; Indian Corn Meal,
382 ; Flour, 102 sacks, 652 brln.

LYNM, June 21.—A good supply of Wheat here to-day,
and little business duiug at prices rather below those of last
week.

Itzwcasrtz, June 21.—We had about two hours' rain
yesterday, which has been followed by fine bright weather
to-day, with a strong breeze from the nortk-east. Our
market opened this morning very heavily, with quite a
retail demand for Wheat, at a decline of Is. per qr. upon
fresh parcels. infirior being quite neglected. Suffolk red
Wheat of 69Ibs. per bushel imperial was sold with diffi-
culty at 524., 631hs. In foreign few sales resulted. Flour
was also difficult of disposal at a decline of Is. per sack.
Norfolk Rye of 67Iba. brought 130. per qr., 601bs. Raving
a Nether liberal arrival of Oats from Scotland, it was diffi-
cult to establish any advance today.

GALATZ, 9th June.
High freights and the awkward position of eastern polities
check business. In wheat hut little has been &Tie, and
that at declining prices. We quote Galati, 23i. to 23e. 64.
per qr., f. o. b. ; Ibrail. 21e. to 21s. 6d., ditto. Indian corn
is is large supply—the condition and quality excellent. We
could ship as follows :—G slam 13s. per qr., f. o. b.; Ibrail,
Ils. 61., ditto ; Fossna, Its. ditto. Very little barley in
the market—its value 6s. 9d. to 7s. per quarter. Freights—
Vessels are scarce and rotes advancing. The last charter
here was 14s. 6d., and considerably higher prices are now
demanded. Exchange nominally 921.

CATTLE.—SALISAVIty, June 21—This morning we
had a large number of horned cattle on offer, and the qua-
lity for the most part was very tine. There was a goodly
attendance of buys re, and the beet qualities sold steadily
at good prices, but on the ..hole, from the excess of the
supply, Beef hung heavily on hand, and many beasts were
driven away unsold, and prices had a downward tendency.
We had an abundant supply of Sheep of good quality,
which, in a measure, had the effect of causing prices to re-
cede a trifle, though we cannot quote lower figures, and a
good amount of business was transacted. There was
an extra quantity of Lambs on sale to-day, ■nd
the whole of which found ready purchasers, and
the quotations of last market were fully sustained.
There were not so many Calves on offer as of late, but
there was an unabated demand, consequently the trade was
active at former quotations, and the quality, generally,
was very fine. In the Pig market there was a
good attendance, and also a lair supply of Pigs, which at-
tracted attention, and a considerable number changed hands.
Prices : Best ox Beef, Ids. to I Is. per seore; Heifers
and inferior breeds, 9s. to 10s. ; best Down Mutton, 6141. to
7d. ner 11h; long-mooned and inferior, Gd. to 6}d. Lamb,
81. Veal, hi to 61d. Pork, fresh and salt, 7d. to Bd.
per lb., and 9.. 6d. to 10s. per score. Bacon, green, Bd.
to B}d. ; dry. 9d. to 101 ; s . , were, 9s. 6,1 to
10s. 6,1. Store Pigs, ISs. to 804. each. Mitch Cows, with
calves, 111. to 131.

SUICIDAL MANlA.—Yesterday information WAS
forwarded to Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, relative to another
determined suicide at the London Ducks. It appears that
on Monday morning last, ',shout one o'clock, a female,
named Sarah Holmes, aged 27 years. lately residing at No.
3, London-terrace, Commercial-road East, was &ea to walk
suddenly on to the Old Gravel-lane bridge of the London
Docks, and before the policeman on duty could get to her,
she jumped over the low iron railing into the water. AR
alarm was raised, but before the deceased could be found
life was quite extinct, although the watchmen on duty did
all they could, and medical assistance was promptly ren-
dered. The deceased is the fourth female who has com-
mitted suicide at the same bridge within a fortnight, and
such is the extraordinary mania for suicide existing
amongst the females of the 11 ttclilf Hi Away, that two and
three attempts have been made nightly at the tame spot
during the last month. At an inquest held on Friday before
Mr. Baker, one of the London Dock constables (Mr.Clemins)
attended, and said the Dock Company were going to make
some alteration to the railing of the bridge to prevent such
a fearful increase of self destruction. An inquest will he
held on the body 01 Holmes to-morrow (Thutsday) at the
Barley Mow, Cannon-street.

LAUNCH or• TILE Cramus.—Yesterday afternoon
another of those highly interesting events, the launch of a
a•upeudooa ship, took place with complete &WWI in
Orchard Yard, Blackwell, belonging to the Messrs. Mar:,
the builders of the vessel. It was originally intended that
the ship should be called the Jason, but circumstances oc-
curred to induce the pmprieturs to alter thtirdetermina.
tion, and it will hereafter be known as the Cimsus. The
vessel is an iron built ItTe if frigate, belonging to the
General Screw Shipping Company, and is the sister ship of
the Calcutta, and the Queen of the South, in fact, the com-
pany ha's about six v,' eels of similar dimension,, wideh are
as follow :—Length between the perpendiculars, 250 ; length
of the keel (or tonnage 254.2! ; breadth for Tonnage 110;
depth in hold, 31.6 ; burthen in tons, No. 2,500 -11 ; 400
horse power.

DOCKYARD APPOINTMENIS.—Yesterthy an inte-
resting return to the House of Commons (obtained by Mr.
Curry) was printed, showing the number of persons em-
ployed in her Majesty's dockyards and gun wharfs, and
other civil establishments of the Admiralty and Ordnance,
