COTTON GOODS.

MANCHLITZR, MAT 3. ,1
The Market is quite as inanimate as it has been anytime
&deg the past week. The report of • probable interfe-
ring* se the French in the American struggle is followed by
ransom of Southern emissaries being down in these dis-
trait§ trying to bribe the men who have at times done so
much by inducing them to strike for higher wages,
to get mi meetings of the unemployed to petition our own
=t to recognise the Confidante government, and
blockade. However unlikely it may be that our
statesman will listen to such petitions, the rumour is natu-
rally one calculated to create great uneasiness. Sellers of
both yarn and cloth are very firm, and at present hold to
the full quotations of hat week. Fen India cloths they
demand in some cases rather more, As compared with the
beginning of April, India and China shirtings are quoted

severity, for many of our wealthy manufaaturen who
have partially worked their mills not on their account, but
on account of the working classes, cannot go on any longer,
the loam being excessive and the produce unsatisfactory,
as really good ootton becomes scarcer every day. What is
to be done if the war in America should continue much
longer no one knows. Such a state of things is unparalleled,
and experience unavailable as regards remedies. Every-
thing ban been done to eirourage the growth of 'cotton in
other countries, but this is at best a work of years. Self- I
help is indeed put to the teat in Lancashire, and we hope
outward help will come soon. It is nearly nine months
ulna some of the markets abroad have been supplied with
goods, yet no urgent wants make themselves felt. Stocks
must, however, be greatly diminished by this time, and ere
low demand will revive, even at the present enhanced rate
of prices. From the nearer markets, indeed, small orders
have latterly been transmitted to this country both for
yarns and goods. The political disturbances in South
American States are continuing to act unfavourably on our
market, by checking imports altogether." The following
table shows the relative prima at which cotton, yarns, and
cloths might be purchased at various periods d • the last
few yews, and how iusdequately the value of has
gone up as compared with cotton :

NAPLES, ILLY 3.

After having visited the French fleet the King
addressed a letter to the Emperor Napoleon, thank-
ing him for his courtesy towards himself and his
sympa:ly for the Italian cause.
The King says :—" It is long since I have ex-
perienced so much emotion as I Lave to-day. The
order which reigns in the southern provinces and
the earnest marks of affection which I everywhere
receive triumphantly reply to the calumnies of our
enemies. We shall convince Europe that the
idea of unity rests on solid bases, and MI thoroughly
graven on the hearts of all Italians."

THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL

The house, in committee, resumed the consideration of
the clauses of the Thames Embankment Bill, beginning
with the 34th clause, which enacted that the plans and
elevations of buildings fronting the river shall be sub
mitted to the First Commissioner of Works, who shall have
power, within one month, to disapprove thereof ; and the
buildings so disapproved shall not be erected.
Lord J. DIANNE/LS moved the omission of this clause,
arguing that it was objectionable io principle and against
experience ; that there was nothing in the course of pro-
, seeding of the Metropolitan Board of Works that should
induce the house to fetter their free action in this matter.
Mr. K. SEYMER, who had proposed the clause in the
select committee, defended it, observing that the case was
as exceptional one, and that the dense was not intended to
&rade the board, who had not objected to it.
no clause mac opposed by Lad Fermoy, Sir J. Shelley,
and Lord B. CeciL

11;.C•WPER said he had thought the weight of the
argument* in the select committee was in favour of the
clause, the purport of which was to secure some uniformity
of design and harmony of arrangement io the buildings, the
absence of which was so great a defect in London street
architecture. The veto, though nominally lodged in the
once be held, was practically given to the House of Com-
mons. He scrawled the clause.
Mr. Crawford, Kr. Lewis, mid Sir W. Jolliffe opposed
the clause • which was supported by Lord H. Vane and
Lord Palos'erstoci, who thought that there should be some
controlling authority to *mire unity of design sod amnia.
teocy of purpose in the plans.
Upon a division the clause was retained by 162 to 145.
Clause 42, prohibiting the use of locomotives propelled by
steam along the streets, was expunged, on the motion of Sir
W. Joturrs.

Much diacuriion arose upon the 72nd clause, relating to
the disponi of reclaimed land in which the crown is into•
rested ; but the claime remained unaltered.

HOLYHEAD STEAM PACKET PIER.

lir. HERBERT asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
when it was the intention of the government to proceed
with the works on the steam-packet pier at Holyhead, for
which money had been voted by parliament this session ?
Lord C. PAGET replied that it was the intention of the
government to proceed at once with the works on the steam-
packet pier at Holyhead ; that was to say, the filling in of
the pier and the putting on the roof. The government
thought it was due to the passengers to and from Ireland
that those works should be gone on with without waiting
for the result of the negotiation between the London and
North Western Railway and the City of Dublin Steam-
packet Company, and he hoped that the packets would,
when the works were completed, keep their time.

THE JOURNEYMEN BAKERS.

Mr. RINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department when a report might be expected from
Mr. Seymour Tremenhere, who was appointed in July, 1861,
a commissioner to inquire into the complaints of the jour-
neymen baker of London ; and whether it would be, or
was intended to, extend the inquiry, as promised, if re-
quired, to Scotland and Ireland?
Sir G.GREY said that the report was oompletedand would
be laid on the table that evening or to-morrow. It had been
proposed to extend the inquiry to other places, but it was
thought that the fact, which applied to the metropolis
would apply to a great extent to other parts of the country,
but if further inquiry should be necessary it would be in-
stituted.
IDOL AND MAITOMMEDAN WORSHIP IN INDIA.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India
what had been doe* by the government of India in pur-
suance of Lord Stanley's despatch of the 24th day of
February, 1859, on the subject of rescinding certain laws
DOW in force in India which connect the government of India
with the spacial care of lands belonging to Mahommedan
mosques mud Hindoo temples.
Sir C. WOOD replied that two bills had been laid before
the Governor-Oenerers council on the subject, and one of
them was still under consideration. Of course as neither

bill bad passed no alteration in them had yet taken place.

THE ELECTION OP CORONER FOR CENTRAL
MIDDLESEX.

As far as can be ascertained, there appears to be
bet very little doubt that Mr. C. E Lewis polled the
greatest number of votes in the early pan of the day. At
noon, however, the general bemoan aesesed to prevail
that the votes recorded were about equal, and the friend'
of the contending parties redoubled their efforts to bring
the freeholders to the various polling booths, which re-
sulted in the friends of Dr. lankester being successful in
reducing any majority gained by his opponent, and giving
the doctor the advantage every hoer. Shortly after the
final abide of the poll at 4 o'clock, Dr. Lankester's cont.
unties made the following statemeet :—" State of the
poll at 4 o'clock : Dr. Lankeeter, 1,172 ; Mr. C.
Lewis, 1,074. Majority for Dr. Lankester, SS." Between
four end five o'clock, Dr. Leakester, accompanied bv •
number of his friends and pporten, presented himself
at the hustings in Portleedprune, Maryisboss, and was
received with loud elaserneg. He said be believed the
freeholders of Dottrel Middlesex had that day returned
him as their coroner. He Mood, *curdle( to the
statement& of his canvassers and

area
clerks,
about, or upwards of one hundred of • oppo-
nent. They (the freeholders) had that day shown the
same feeling that had animated the freeholder twisty
years ago ; they had determined that • man to be their
coroner must know the Mlle of death. They bad come
forward nobly to 'Juliette the right they had is trust for
their neighbours is voting for him for coroner. Me thanked
all his friends most heartily for their exertions, and hoped
to meet them there again on Wedeesday next (to-morrow),
when the sheriff• would attend to officially declare the
result of the poll. Mr. Lewis did not appear on the hustings,
nor wu any return made at his eommittee•room it: the
vicinity, his ocietralttee denying the extent of so large •
majority. bat admitting a defeat. A scrutiny is, however,
spoken of.
Dr. Lankester his issued the following :—" Freeholders
of Middlesex.—My lords and gentletwo,—You have this
day geasroualy and honourably realised my anticipations
that you would place me at the head of the poll se weever
for Central Middlesex. Yoe have shown yourselves worthy

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STRRET.
FATAL OCCOMRCE IN TEM If !RAND.

Christopher Dalamed, at 51, Upper Marsh, Westminster-
road. a cabdriver, No. 11,967, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Curie, charged with having caused the death of a young
woman, named Sarah Langton, by driving over her in the
Strand.

Mr. Abrams appeared for the defendant.
The Rev. Frederick Pemberton Koe, of 6, Suffolk-street,
Pall-mall, deposed that he was in • Hansom cab driven by
the defendant yesterday (Monday) afternoon, proceeding at
the ordinary pace towards the West-end from the City.
The cab was within four feet of the kerb-stone on the
proper side of the way, just opposite Coutte' bank, when
he saw a young woman step from the pavement into
the roadway, without ever looking to see if anything was
coming, and close upon the horse's head. Witness and the
defendant both shouted out to her ; but it was too late.
She could not have taken more than two steps in advance,
intending apparently to cross to the opposite side, when the
shafts of the cab struck her in the head, knocked her down
and the near wheel of the cab went over her head,
causing almost instantaneous death.
By the Court—Both the cabdriver and the unfortunate
woman were perfectly sober, but witness could not help
thinking that the latter must have been deaf, as she did
not even turn her head to look round when they shouted
to her. She was too close upon the cab to admit of the
hone being pulled up. The accident could not hare been
prevented.
Mr. Conn—Yoe are quite sure the defendant was not
galloping at the time, or driving in a reckless manner!
Witness—Quite. He was going at the ordinary pin of
Hansom cabs. It is rather difficult to say what that is ex-
actly, but I should say about seven miles an hour.
Cowie—Did anyone else witness the occurrence be-
sides this gentleman!
Police-oonstable 89 X said the accident was witnessed
by • Frenchman, who said he would be present, but he was
not in atteedanco.

--Mr. BUOteeived that an elderly gentleman warn also pre-
sent, bat he expreased his opinion that the cabman was en-
tirely blameless, the collision being unavoidable from the
position in which the unhappy woman had incautiously
placed herself.
Mr. Corrie—ls the name at the young woman known?
The officer stated that her name was Sarah Langton. He
had ascertained that she bad been living in service at Charl-
ton, near Woolwich. She had just left her place and taken
lodgings at Chariton ; and, on the day of the accident, had
waited ugpn a lady residing at Clapham, who had engaged
her, and in whose house she was about to take a situation
in two or three days. Witness did not think she had any
friends in London.

IMPORTS OF FOREIGN PAPER.

Mr. A. TURNER asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether (seeing by the return recently made that,
the quantity of foreign paper imported is far more im-
portant than the quantity of rags imported, or the quantity
of paper exported, both of which appear in the returns of
trade and navigation) he would order that in future the
quantity of foreign paper imported should appear in the
usual monthly returns?
Mr. M. GIBSON replied that the list of articles enume-
rated in the monthly returns was revised every year, in
order to include those of the greatest importance. The
imports of foreign paper bad until within the last few
mouths been very fluctuating—being sometimes 2,000 eine.

tinued at their present rate, paper would be included in the

from the nubility of being compelled to attend as wantons
and to produce documents belonging to other churches than
the retablethed kirk. . . .

Lord BELHAVEN opposed the amendment, which he
considered inquisitorial in Ha character.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE said he was opposed to
the entire bill, which be thought wan not required to meet
an existing evil.
The Duke of ARGYLL supported the bill, the necessity
for which lie said was demanded by the fact that if the
minister of a Scotch parish was guilty of misconduct which
justified his suspension, be could not, owing to the long and
tedious procees which had to be gone thronh, be judicially
silenced for perhaps two years. The bill, however, de-
clared that the church court had the power to prevent such
a man discharging his functions as a clergyman pending the
result of the legal inquiry.
The amendment was negatived without a division, and
The bill then pump&

ther he would be prepared to lay upon the table of the

General for this purpose ; and, if he was prepared to fix a day

Governor-General on the subject. With regard to the

ROBBIMY AT BADLIR'B WILLS THUM.

Henry Thames, Winter, aged 49, described as • messenger,
residing at 21, Clerkenwell-green, and Charles Pidneng,
• labourer, who refused his address, were charged before
Mr. Barker with steeling from Ssdler's Wells Theatre one
pair of shoes, • pair of silver buckles, and other articles
of the value of 201., the property of Captain Charles
Horton Rhys.
Prom the evidence of Mr. Charles Dudley, the acting
manager, it appeared that the prisoner Winter was em-
ployed at the above theatre as messenger and dresser, and
wu the servant of Captain Horton Rhys. Some property,
consisting of silver buckles and diamonds, used in the
theatre, were missed, and have since been found to have
been pawned. The prisoner Pidgoog, who was formerly
employed at the theatre, came to him and said
that he had borrowed • pair of shoes with diamond
buckles from the prisoner, that be had pawned
them, and that he wished to give himself up to the police.

ing that he had been sent by him (Mr. Dudley) had ob-
tained a pistol, with which be (prisoner) intended to com-
mit suicide. He (witness) did not know to
what extent he bad been robbed, but from a
casual glance he had made over the stock be had
found that a dressing-gown, five rings, and other property
amounting to about 25/., were miming. On the floor in the
dressing-room he had picked up about three inches of an-
ver chain, the other portion, which had been attached to
the front of one of the performers' coats, having been cut
off and taken away. He wished foe a remand, as Captain
Horton Rhys was not then in attendance, being engaged at
the theatre, and there had not been time to go to the pawn-
broker's to identify the property.
Police-sergeant Browning, 14 CV, said be took both pri-
soners into custody, and found on them a number of pawn-
brokers' duplicates relating to property belonging to the
theatre.

and the otber prisoner was innocent.

NEW CHANCERY ACTS.

Three Chancery Acts were passed in the late ses-
sion, two of which will come into operation at the coin.
mencement of the forthcoming Michaelmas Term, and the
third on the id of January next. Two of the statutes—
" The Land Transfer Act," and "The Declaration of Title
Act"—may be regarded as important Chancery reforms;
and the other, "'rho Chancery Regulation Act," has refs-
ranee to questions of law and fact. The first act was peened
on the 14th July last (25 and 26 Vict. c. 42), and is
entituled "An Act to regulate the procedure of the
High Court of Chancery and the Court of Chancery
of the County Palaties of Lancaster." It recites that
the Court of Chancery bee power in certain cases to
refuse or postpone the remedies within its jurisdiction until I
questions of law and fact on which the title to such remedies !
depend have been determined or ascertained in one of the
courts of common law, and that it is expedient that the
power should no longer exist: and the practice of then
Court of Chancery of the County Palatine of Lancainee
having been assimilated, it is necessary that the future pee
cedure of the two courts should be alike. Therefore it in
enacted that the courts are to determine every question of
law and fact incident to the relief sought ; but where ques-
tions may be more conveniently tried at anises or at the
sittings in London or Middlesex, issues may be directed.
The provisions of the 21 and t 2 Viet. e. 27, are to apply
to the Courts of Chancery. The Court of Chancery may
sit, with the assistance of a common law judge. The mot
is to take effect from and after the Ist November next. The
second act in order was passed on the 29th July (25 and 26
c.. 13), and is entituled "An Act to facilitate the proof
of title to, and the ooesequence of, real estates." The third
act was passed on the ltltb July (25th arid 26th Vic.. c. 66),
aO,l entituled "An Act for obtaining a declaration of title."
The object of this statute is to enable persons having inte-
rests in land to obtain in certain cares a judicial declaration
of their title, so as to enable them to make an indefeasible
title to penieum claiming under them, as purchasers for a
valuable consideration. Rules and orders are to be made to
carry out the act, which is to take effect ou the Ist January
next.

CUPTON SI-SPENNION BRIDGE—The contract for
getting up the chains of the late litingerford Bridge and

being at length completed, Sir Greet le Smyth, of Ashton
Court, ban sold 125 acres of land for the purpose of building
villas on the Somersetahire side of the Arm
