LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2'2,, 1852.

STATE OF TRADE
(From the Manchester Guardiun of this day.)
uEsioAv.— lt is now seen that a
wise
nsT
wasT exercised last week in receiving the
American accounts of damage to the cotton crop with
large allowance for that exaggeration which belongs
to the subject, the season, and the quarter from
whence it comes. This is evident from the advices
received yesterday ;, and the storm, it appears, has
been followed by highly favourable weather. New
cotton was coming freely into New Orleans, which
rendered prices there somewhat irregular, and rather
in favour of buyers; while, at New York, there
was a decline of tto Ic. per lb. Still; many of the
estimates of the crop were ranging as low as
2,800,000 bales. The effect which this complete
correction of the previous unfavourable statements
has produced in Liverpool, appears to be negative
only, preventing that speculative advance which was
ready to ensue upon their confirmation. That mar-
ket is reported as quiet but firm. As the slight sti-
mulus imparted to our market, a week ago, by the
reports in question, had entirely subsided by Satur-
day last, the business of to-day has been little in-
fluenced by these later advices so far, however, as
any effect is produced, it is in the direction of quiet-
ness. The cautiousness of the buyers has been ex-
cex-
citedafresh ; and they have shown rather less dispo-
sition than before to enter into engagements. The
transactions are, therefore, but limited in their aggre-
gate amount ; and those counts of water twist, whether
in warp or bundle, which have latterly betrayed
some degree of weakness, are certainly not im-
proved, though they are not perhaps any lower than
they were a few days back. Cops are firm, but
greater wariness is shown in buying them ; and the
same may be said of warps from 24's upwards. On
the whole, the yarn market must be described as
steady, being supported by the contracts in the pro-
ducers' hands rather than by the existing disposition
to purchase. In spinnings for the East alone is there
any amendment. As the letters from Calcutta
stute that some advance has taken place there in
the prices of mule, from 40's upwards, a sufficient
demand has arisen for those counts to add id. to
their previous values. And, although the rates of
exchange had receded two to three per cent., some
little rise in the lighter 40-inch shirtings, as well as
in jacconette, has led to an increase of business, and
given a slightly favourable bias to prices. Other de-
scriptions of cloth are without change. The accounts
from China show a decline in goods and yarns from
over-supplies ; but the effect was countervailed, in
part at least, by a higher exchange. This state of
things in China has rendered the better 40-inch shirt-
ings rather duller, and contributed to the increased
dullness of water twist.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a steady de-
mand for kerseys and coarse goods at last week's
prices. The wool market continues much in the same
state as it was the preceding week, with little change
either in price or demand.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have had a very flat
market to-day, and there has been scarcely any in-
quiry for any description of worsted goods. The
yarn trade is rather more active, and the quotations
exhibit a slight improvement. The transactions in
wool are not extensive, and prices have an upward
tendency.
HIIDDE USTIELD, TIIESDAY.—There hes been
decidedimprovement in our market to-day; more
time. Fancy
hFavaenebeyewnosoollldenisn, thheeavCylobtlhaellk,alal

have been most in demand for home consumption
this coming winter. During the week a fair trade
has been doing in the warehouses. Some of the
shipping houses have been very busy during the week
with orders, both for the American and continental
markets. ption

ment with heed labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Edward Tomlinson and George Tomlinson were
charged with having committed a daring street rob-
bery.

Mr. Philip Now, No. 18, Seymour-street, Euston-
square, said, about 1 o'clock on Monday morning he
was passing through great Tichfield-street, when the
prisoners came up and walked by his side. He had
not proceeded very far before he was suddenly seized
by one of the men, whom he strongly believed to be
George Tomlinson, who held him tightly round the
waist while the other man, who he also believed wee
the other prisoner, robbed him of his gold watch and
guard and then ran off. Prosecutor pursued, and
saw the prisoner Edward Tomlinson pass something
to the other prisoner. The prisoner Edward Tomlin-
son, seeing that he was pursued, turned round and
struck him a blow which prevented him from con-
tinuing the pursuit, by which means the prisoner
who had the watch escaped. The prisoner who struck
him said to him, " We ain't going to rob you, but if
you want a poke I'll give it to you." Prosecutor
called for the police, and gave the prisoner Edward
Tomlinson into custody. When the prisoner was
searched a pocket handkerchief was found in his pos-
session which had been stolen from him.
Police constable Langham, E 268, heard the cry
of "Police," and on proceeding to the spot found the
prosecutor and the prisoner Edward Tomlinson to-
gether. The prosecutor charged the prisoner with
stealing his watch and guard. The prisoner replied,
" You can charge me if you like, but the man who
stole your watch has run off." Witness took the
prisoner to the station-house, and on searching him
found a silk handkerchief secreted between his shirt
and the waistband of his trousers, which was owned
by the prosecutor.
A witness named Tozer said he saw two men
walking on each side of the prosecutor, and he heard
one say, "We do not want to rob you, but if you
want a poke I'll give it to you." The prisoners re-
sembled the two men. In a few minutes he heard
the cry of " Police," and saw one of the men running
away.
Police-constable Langham said he afterwards took
the prisoner George Tomlinson into custody on a
charge of assisting to rob the prosecutor of his watch.
The prisoner denied the charge, but admitted he was
with his brother in Great Titchfield-street between
twelve and one o'clock on the Monday morning.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.
MAR YLEBONE.
Ellen Manning, a married woman, was brought up
from the infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse before
Mr. Broughton, charged with having attempted to
commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of oil of
bitter almonds.
George Kitchen, a youth living with his father, a
greengrocer, High-street, Marylebone, said that about
noon on the 9th of September he wes in Northum-
berland-street, New-road, when, on passing the de-
fendant, he heard her exclaim, " I have got something
in my hand which will do for me." She then put a
bottle to her mouth, which he endeavoured to seize
hold of, but he was unsuccessful, and she drank the
whole of the contents. She flung the bottle into the
road, and almost instantly fell on the step of a
door. He called a policeman, who went to her
assistance.
Policeman Beck, 290 D, produced an ounce phial,
which had on it a label with the name of " Grallard,
30, Lisson-grove,—Poison." He stated that he found
the defendant insensible, and that he took her to the
infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse, where she was
immediately attended to.
Mr. BROUGHTON inquired if the stomach-pump or
an emetic was applied ?—Mr. Messer, relieving-
of of the pari ffi sh, who accompanied defendant to
the court, replied in the negative, and stated that a
new process was used, by means of galvanism, when
she was found to have taken oil of bitter almonds.
Mr. BROUGHTON—What! from a galvanic bat-
tery ? Mr. Messer—Yes, Sir.
Mr. BROUGHTON—In hat way &es it act? Did
it causes her to vomit ? Mr. Messer—lt causes the
stomach to resume its muscular action, when the pa-
tient vomits the whole of the poison. It is considered
a more efficacious application than the stomach-pump.
It was the first time it had been used at the infirmary.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Is it a painful operation ? Mr.
Messer—No, Sir. It produces a slight shock to the
system.
Mr. BROUGHTON—How long was it before the bat-
tery was applied after her admission? Mr. Messer—
Immediately. When brought in she was in a state of
paralysis, and she would have died but for the prompt
attention of the two medical officers, who succeeded
in restoring her to consciousness.
The defendant stated that she swallowed sixpenny
worth of the oil of bitter almonds.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Why did you take the poison ?
Defendant stated that she did not live with her hus-
band, who allowed her 10s. a-week. She met him in
Hanover-square last Friday three weeks, when she
wanted him to supply her with some furniture, which
he declined to do. They had then some altercation,
and she had been unhappy in her mind ever since,
when she determined to destroy herself. The doctors
were very kind to her.
Mr. Messer said the defendant's husband wes a
tailor, and had a salary of four guineas a week.
The brother of the defendant agreed to take her to
his house and she was discharged.
WOFSHIP-STREET.
Elizabeth Hastings and James Jackson, the former
a woman of notorious character, were charged with
assault and robbery.
A person named Sullivan was proceeding on his
way home through Commercial-street, Whitechapel,
at a late hour on the preceding night, when he was
accosted by the female prisoner, who forced her con-
versation upon him, and ultimately induced him to
see her to her lodgings. These were in a house of a
very infamous description, in a place called George-
yard ; and the prosecutor had been no sooner shown
into a parlour than the woman attempted to rob
him. This proceeding he resisted as well as he
could, and tried to push her away from him, but she
immediately placed her back firmly against the door,
grasped him tightly by the hair of his head, and, a
violent struggle ensuing hetween them, in the course
of which the prosecutor made vigorous efforts to re-
lease himself from her clutches and escape from the
place, the women, on seeing that he was likely to
do so, partially opened the door, and shouted out
" Barney, Barney," as loud P. 5 she could. This
signal was immediately answered by the door being
burst in and the sudden appearance of the male pri-
soner, who, without uttering a word to the prose-
cutor, dealt him such a heavy blow on the side of his
head that, notwithstanding his female confederate
still retained her grasp of the prosecutor's hair, he in-
stantly dropped to the floor. Both prisoners then rifled
his pockets of all the money he had about him and rushed
upstairs, and the prosecutor, upon recovering his feet
and scattered senses, made the best of his way to the
street door, upon reaching which be called lustily for
the police, and never left off until a constable made
his appearance. Both then re-entered the house to-
gether, and upon examining one of the upper rooms
discovered the two prisoners, who were at once given
in charge. The male prisoner wes then questioned
as to what money he had about him, and replied that
he had only 84., which he had received at the docks,
in his fob, but upon searching his pockets a quantity
of loose silver was found in one of them, the coins of
which exactly tallied with those the prosecutor had
been robbed of, and they were both thereupon trans-
ferred to the station.
When called upon for their defence the male pri-
soner protested his innocence, declaring that he only
pushed the prosecutor away from his confederate, but
had not struck him ; and the woman having denied
all participation in the robbery, and alleged that the
prosecutor had first struck her violently without the
slightest provocation and then flung her heavily over
the fender, but both which statements the prosecutor
assured the magistrate were without the slightest
foundation.
Mr. D'EYNCOURT ordered the depositions to be
taken, and they were each fully committed to New-
gate for trial.
