Mr. Jardine said the male defendant was a stupid, it

conducted fellow, and, like the police, had been very
badly advised throughout. His behaviour now was of
the worst description. Both the defendants must pay
a fine of 51. each for the assault, or go to prison for six
weeks ; in addition to which they must find two sure-
ties of 201. each, besides their own recognisances in 401.

each, to keep the peace towards Thompson for six
months.
Burroughs here renewed his threats of personal ven-
geance against Thompson. After he was locked up,
Mr. Jardine had the daughter placed before him again,
and told her that as she was no doubt acting under the
influence of her father in the matter, he would waive
the bail in her case ; but she must pay the fine or go to
prison.
The defendants either could not or would not pay the
penalties, and were consequently sent to prison.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)

MANCHESTER, Nov. 29.—The American advices state
that cotton had lost cent per lb at New York. At
New Orleans, the market, which had gained I cent to g
cent, in consequence of. improved accounts from Liver-
pool, became at the date of the latest telegraph rather
weaker. The motives for proceeding with extreme cau-
tion in commercial operations continue to restrict the
purchases of merchants within the narrowest limits.
For exportation, therefore, exceedingly little has been
done to-day. Some kinds of yarns have been taken a little
more freely by home consumers, who look upon them
as having fallen to as low a price as they are likely to
reach ; and such yarns are consequently firmer than they
were. But, with these exceptions, the bias of the mar-
ket is slightly adverse to producers, though the quota-
tions are scarcely altered. The flatness in goods is not
at all relieved. Home houses and shippers alike hold
aloof from business of any moment. What buying there
is, is therefore extremely partial partial and limited.
Prices are well supported—least so, however, in the
heavier 40in. shirtings adapted for the China trade.
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 29.—A better feeling and more
confidence seems to have prevailed in the market to-day,
and a slight improvement in the demand for manufac-
tured goods has been experienced in consequence.
Fancy trowserings of low and middle qualities and
heavy broads have been among the principal articles dis-
posed of. Plush waistcoatings of good qualities meet
with ready sale. There has been a fair trade done in
the wool warehouses.
HALIFAX, Nov. N.—Our piece hall has presented a
very dull appearance to-day. Scarcely any merchants
attended ; and the sales very few. Yarns go off slowly,
at about late rates. The wool market is not active ;
but the quotations have still an upward tendency.
ROCHDALE, Nov. 28.—The market has again been
inactive, and the business transacted has been upon a
limited scale. In the wool market firm prices are ob-
tamed, but the demand is limited.

COLLISION AT SEA.—The Margaret, steamer, Captain
Hockley, which sailed on Monday from Liverpool for
Havre, came into collision the same evening, to the
eastward of the Skerries, with the screw steam-ship
Danube, Captain Reid, and received some slight damage,
which caused her to return to Liverpool. The Danube
lost head, cutwater, &o. The Margaret was expected
to be able to resail by last night's tide.
POSITION OF PERSIA.—The attitude of Persia is still
expectant. The Persians say—" It is all well for the
Padishah to pretend to side with Russia, but, as a Ma-
homedan, he dare not fight against Mahomedlans, and if
war does break out the Persians will, as a matter of
course, be found on the side of the Turks."
SERIOUS AFFRAY WITH POACHERS NEAR LEEDS.—
On Tuesday six men were brought up at the Leeds
Court-house, before the Rev. J. A. Rhodes and other
West Riding justices, on the charge of shooting at and
seriously injuring the head gamekeeper (Mr. James
Phillips) at Templenewsam and his assistants. The
prisoners are Thomas Scholefield, William Renton,
James Shad, Joseph Shad, William Ellis, and Robert
Wilson, all residents at Rothwell and the 'neighbour-
hood. Early on Sunday morning the watchers em-
ployed on the Templenewsam estate (the property of
IVleynell Ingram, Esq.) fell in with a party of poachers,
and information was given to Mr. Phillips, the head
gamekeeper, who with six assistants went in pursuit of
the party, which was found to be a large one, consisting
of twelve or thirteen men, nearly all of whom
were armed. A parley took place, but the
poachers being nearly double the number of their
opponents, refused to be taken into custody ; and in a
short time shots were fired on both sides. At least
sixteen shots were heard at a distance, and tw o of them
took effect ; one wounding Phillips, the In ad game-
keeper, in the head, and the other one of the • poachers
in the leg. With these unequal odds the go ,mekeeper
and his party, abandoned all further attempts to secure
the party, and eventually they all left the gr, ound, the
poachers taking with them their wounded cc .mpanion.
Information of the affray was at once sen t to Mr.
Green, the superintendent-constable of the dis trict, and
in the course of the day he learnt that three me en, one of
them lame, were seen walking towards Rothw, ell. This
led him into the track of the offenders, and he presently
found Thomas Scholefield, the wounded man, and sub-
sequently caused the other five prisoners to be taken
into custody. Mr. Phillips is still very ill, the nigh it is
hoped he will recover. He could not, however, appear
before the justices yesterday, and therefore the case was
remanded.
[ADVERTISEaIENT.J—DARK DAYS AND LONG
NIGHTS.—The necessity of having the most perfect eye-
sight and hearing.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians
and oculists, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe—
opposite the York Hotel. Newly-invented / 'reserving
Spectacle Lenses. Immediately they are place ni before
extremely imperfect vision, every object appears clear and
distinct ; the most aged, defective sight became,, es bright
and brilliant, is brought to its youthful, natural, and ori-
ginal state.—RoyalExhibitions, 1851. —A valuable ), newly-
invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pock et glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and known one mile and a half distar it ; they
answer every purpose on the race-course, at tl ie opera-
houses, country scenery, and ships are clear •ly seen
at 12 to, 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, game :keepers,
and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most is aportant
invention in telescopes, possessing such extra ordinary
powers that some, 33 inches, with an extra eye-pi ece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing ; only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance tie •ee miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to !O miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoal t-pocket.
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with w onderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to : 16 miles
distant. Deafness—New Discovery—The Orgl Ink Vi-
brator, an extraordinary powerful and newly-3 nvented
instrument, for Deafness, entirely different f Yom all
others, to surpass anything of the kind that 13 as been,
or probably ever can be, produced. Being •of the
same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ;ii enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at 13 üblic as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing i -wises in
the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all ti te assist.
ante that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarl e-street,
