EXTENSIVE AND DARING ROBBERY.—GALLANT
CAPTURE OF THE BURGLARS —On Friday two well-
dressed and remarkably athletic young men underwent
a long examination before Mr. Corrie, on the charge of
feloniously breaking into the dwelling-house of Dr.
Henry James Stokes, 28, Portland-place, Islington, and
stealing therein nine Bank of England notes of 51. each,
three sovereigns, and a quantity of jewellery and other
property. The investigation occasioned the most intense
interest in a very crowded court, mime, daring and mys-
terious robberies of a like character having been recently
committed in the metropolitan district. The prisoners
names are believed to be James Hunter and Henry
Bryan, and they are suspected to belong to a well-or-
ganized and desperate gang of ruffians. The present
charge had been planned for several days there is no
doubt, as the father-in-law of the prosecutor was buried
on the afternoon of the day of the robbery, at Islington
Church. (The latter esteemed deceased gentleman was
the Rev. Mr. Hill, for many years the vicar of Saint
Stephen's, in that parish.) The thieves therefore con-
ceived that the principal members of Dr. Stokes's house-
hold would be attending the last sad duties to the re-
mains of the rev, gentleman.
The first witness examined was Constable 430 N, who
said he had charge of two houses, numbered 21 and 22,
Portland-place. He lived in the former, and hearing a
noise in the latter between six and seven o'clock on
Thursday night, he went and unlocked the street door of
that house; and feeling then convinced,from a rumbling
up stairs, that something was wrong, he returned for a
light; and on approachtng the same dwelling again, he
taw the two prisoners hurriedly come. out of the prose-
cutor's residence and run off, the ppsoner Pt zwilliam
having on only one boot and carrying. the other in his
left hand. Witness followed them for about 600 yards,
calling out " Stop thief," when at the end of that dis-
tance, they being in a very dark spot, the prisoners
separated and took different directions, nearly at which
instant Bryan turned and struck at him with his boot
and some bludgeon,
which, however, flaw from his
grasp. This deadly
weapon,
it is believed, was what
is called a " life preserver, as one was picked up on
the spot shortly afterwards. Witness had by this time
taken out his truncheon, and when that prisoner
was endeavouring to make off once more he dropped
him insensible by a blow with the staff at the back
of the head. As soon as his prisoner had recovered
himself witness said to him, " Well, I've got you now,"
when he made answer, " I know it too well. It's all the
worse for me." On searching him witness found in the
boot that was off a large knife and several instruments
used by burglars. Ho had no stockings on, but a pair
were discovered in the course of the night, one of them
being in the uninhabited house, and the other in a bed-
room of the prosecutor's servant.
Police-officer Jeffery, 259 N, said be captured the
other prisoner in Queen-street, about a quarter of a
mile from Dr. Stokes's, and he produced five of the Si.
notes and a brooch, belonging to the prosecutor, besides
a "jemmy" and many other thieves' tools, which were
all picked up by him and a Mrs, Wood, the wife of a
bricklayer, in that street.
Sergeant Gallett, 31 N, said, that on learning Bryan's
residence he went there and took possession of a letter
addressed to him by his wife, who is at present under
sentence of transportation.
Mr. CORBIE being here informed the letter was un-
opened, asktd'Bryan if he bad any objection to offer
them an examination of the contents ? The prisoner
said he had, and the document was returned to the con-
stable to pro duce on the trial.
Dr. Stokes was then sworn. He said—On Thursday
evening he was sitting in his parlour, and thinking he
h.
eard footsteps in the passage, he opened the door lead-
ing to it, and saw two men dart into the street, and at
the same moment policeman 430 N, who was approach-
ing with a light, pursued them. Witness then proceeded
into his bed-room, and perceiving that his chest of
drawers had been broken open, and that two boxes and
a jewel-case had been taken therefrom, he went to the
other rooms, and in a back attic he saw those articles on
the bed, emptied of the contents, and a crowbar and
other implements beside them. He subsequently minutely
examined that apartment with police officers, and felt
satisfied that the thieves came from the unoccupied No.
22, along the parapet to his servant's bed-room window,
and having smashed two panes of glass near the fasten-
ing, easily obtained access to his dwelling. The property
stolen ho saw safe on the morning of Thursday;, the
things then in court—namely, the five Si. Bank of Eng-
land notes and the brooch, were a portion of it.
Inspector Thatcher, N, applied for a remand. On. an
early day he hoped to be able to produce other and im-
portant evidence against the prisoners.
MT. Conine observed that such a course would be ad-
visable, and remanded them accordingly.
Henry Dunan surrendered to his. bail to answer a
charge of having obtained la under false pretences.
Mr. Wakeling attended for the prosecutor, and Mr.
Solomon for the defence.
The particulars of the case have been already full de-
tailed in the newspapers.
The prisoner, it may be recollected, was taken into
custody at the instance of Mr. Sergeant Adams, the As-
sistant Judge at the Middlesex Sessions, and brought
before Mr. Corti°, who remanded the case.
Evidence was now adduced to show that the 101 was
given as a voluntary. present.
Mr. CORRIE, utter a patient and attentive investiga-
tion, said there was n o evidence of any crime, and he
discharged the prisoner.

THE COUN TRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, JAN. 16.—The arrival this week is
moderate, and there is a fair show of samples; the de-
mand is slow, but holders continue very firm, and late
prices are fully realised. Barley keeps scarce, and gra-
dually improves in price. The demand for oats and
shelling is quite in retail, and their value unaltered.
Beans meet a fair sale at late prices. Malt is held with
increased firmness. Old. New.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
THE WOOL TRADE.—LONDON, JAN. 15..—The mar-
ket is steady for foreign and colonial sorts at about pre-
vious rates. The imports into London during the week
ending to-day have been 2 248 bales, of which 817 bales
were from the Cape of Good Hope, 719 from 1100
Philip, 642 from Sydney, 73 from Italy, and the rest
from Germany and Egypt.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 16.--Thera
lass been about an average business in foreign and colo•
nial wools this week, and prices are very firmly sup,
ported.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, JAN. 16.—Sales of combing
wools this week have been to a moderate extent. Prices
are quoted the same as last week. In clothing sorts We
do not report any change.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 15.—The imports the put week
consist of 40 bales from Constantinople, and 62 from
Oporto. By private there is a fair demand at full prices:
The sales are fixed for Thursday, the 29th instant, and
will comprise about 3,000 bales; consisting of 300 East
India, 400 Mogadore, 500 frontier and Lisbon, 30
Oporto, 300 Egyptian, 600 Turkey, Buenos Ayres, .54c.;
600 Adelaide and Sydney. A good many of the latter
just arrived per Laura.
TRADE OF LEEDS —Under the impression that WO
are likely to be higher rather than otherwise, the Lar:
chants generally have been induced to speculate 03°r;
freely, and in consequence there has been more business
done at the Cloth-halls than for some time past. Price,.o
are firm, with rather an upward tendency, and 0.
stocks, from the cautions used by the manufacturers, ate
low for the season. Business has also been better in t"is,
warehouses since this day week than for many weeks
past. Several of the larger buyers have been devil'
and have purchased with more confidence than for 0003 f)
time.

TRADE OF LEICESTER —We have no alteration to re. i
port in business in the warehouses from last week.
great deal of yarn has been sold under the impteotfl°'
of its being at its lowest point, but no advance of price
has been obtained. The spinners are requiring a trikiy,
advance. Wools continuo firm. The cotton market
has been brisker than for wale time past, owing
manufacturers altering their workmen from worsted t"
cotton sorts.

BRADFORD, JAN. 15.—Wool—There is little actiTig
in the wool market, especially in reference to the tnicluO
and lower claEses. The prices sought lately totally Pr";
elude any business being done, except on the narrooV
scale possible. Yarns—There is no change either in ce;
mand or price, except for No. 50'd. There is a Or'
active demand both for Lancashire and home consura;
Lion. Pieces—There is no alteration in the piece marked
during the week. Things may be quoted as firm 00
stationary.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JAN. 15.—The Americra
mail steamer, the absence of which, up to Tuesday, er
cited considerable indisposition to operate, on the 040:
position that it might bring advices of a decline in cott°
has by its arrival brought to hand advices which stl"e, ,
the justice of that opinion. There continues to bed,
quiet market, with prices of cotton and yarn a sba
E,
easier, except in some ccunts of water twist, and
dium numbers of mule twist, for which there is a 2u
T-nt.
cient demand to render it difficult to place orders i 0
anything like immediate delivery. The Overland Mlllte
advices have given but little encouragement to export%
for India. There is some new business for BombsY,,
yarns, but though the advices are better than those ,
eeived a month or two ago, they are hardly so encourf
ing as was anticipated from the nature of the letters;,
the last mail. Though the trade is not generally setio
yet we have heard of cases in which exporters 13%,
been givirg out 8,11313 considerable orders in shirlile;
long cloths, T cloths, and jacconetts. On the wb?„),
owing to various causes, both political and commeoln-ct
there is rather an uties:v feeling in the market, etA-„,
producers appear disposed more freely to meet the
mand than at this period last week, though without I"
considerable reduction.
