CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

The above Court reEumed its sittings this morning
before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon.
the Recorder, Aldermen Hunter, Sir C. Marshall.land
Kennedy, Mr. Sheriff Crosley, Mr. Sheriff Muggeridge,
Mr. Under•sheriff Crosley, Mr. Under-sheriff Farrar,
&c., &c.

There are 103 prisoners for trial.
The Recorder, in his charge to the Grand Jury, con-
gratulated them upon the fact, that the calendar for the
present session did not contain a single charge of mur-
der, and that, with a few exceptions, the cases were of
the ordinary description, and not likely to present any
legal difficulties in the consideration of them. There
was one case of manslaughter, in which a woman was
charged with killing a child ; and it appeared that, in a
transport of jealousy, she bad made a violent blow at a
woman who had the,child in her arms, but missed her and
struck the child, and the blow caused its death. Under
these circumstances, the prisoner was guilty of an illegal
act in striking at the woman—and such was the conse-
quence. If the facts were made out to their satisfaction,
it would be their duty to find a bill for a manslaughter.
There was another case, of a very painful and pecu-
liar character, where a gentleman of station and family,
and a clergyman of the Church of England, was
charged with shooting at a very valuable member
of the bar of that Court, and upon the floor of
the Court, and in the presence of those who were
now addressing them. He believed the only ques-
tion that could arise was as to the state of mind of the
unfortunate gentleman at the time the act was com-
mitted, but with that the grand jury had nothing to do,
and the only course they could take was to find the bill.
There was also a charge against a Roman Catholic
clergyman, a gentleman of position and education, of
having infringed the provisions of the Dissenters' Mar-
riages Act, which required that no marriage of that
character should take place except in the presence of the
registrar and in the chapel. In the case in question it
was alleged that the marriage was solemnised in the
vestry, and that the registrar was not present, and if
these facts were made out it would be their duty to re-
turn a true hill. His lordship concluded by referring to
the charge of sending diseased meat for sale to the Lon-
don market, and ho remarked that although there might
be some doubt as to the intent of the parties in the pre-
sent instance, yet ,as the question involved was one of
considerable importance to the public, he thought it
would be better that they should find a bill in order
that the matte: might be fully inquired into.
The grand jury then retired.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

( From the Mining Journal of Saturday. )

Mrwas.—Compared with the two previous weeks,
the share market has been rather inactive this week,

previously not Bauch in demand ; among them,

Hingeton, East Russell, West Robins, Orsedd, &c.

was not done. North Robert has been largely dealt in.

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Prom the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)

LEEDS, Oct. 20.—The markets have been rather quiet
and sluggish this week. Both on Saturday and Tuesday
a flattish tone generally prevailed in the cloth halls, and
only a limited business was done. But there have been
considerable deliveries direct at the merchants' ware-
houses. We have no change to report in the state of
the trade in the warehouses ; a steady seasonable busi-
ness has been done during the current week, principally
for the home market.
HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 17.—Business to-day was at A
still lower ebb than in former weeks. Just now there
seems to be a general flatness in trade, which begins to
be felt in the surrounding villages and hamlets. Fancy
vestings are in very low demand ; the woollens keep the
superiority. In reference to wool, we may expect as
alteration till after the sales, which are just at hand.
RocliDaLic, Oct. 16.—The market for wool was rather
flat, purchasers being wishful to make bargains at lower
prices than the rates prevailing. The amount of busi-
ness done was comparatively small.
BRADFORD, Oct. 19.—Purchases are made sparingly,
hut there is no accumulation of stocks in staplers' hands.
The farmers seek prices that cannot be give❑ here, and
this withholding of stock keeps prices firm. Pieces—
There is no improvement in the demand and no
disposition to make goods for stock. The necessity
of still further curtailment in our operations suggests it-
self as the only safe course.
HALIFAX, Oct. 14.—We had a very dull business in
the piece market, and prices inclined to be worse. In
the yarn trade the transactions may be considered mode-
rate, but late rates are not well sustained. Wools have
been exceedingly flat this week, and both combing and
clothing descriptions rather give way..
