guilty, but his connsel having pleaded prescription,
as three months had passed since the publication of

THE ATTEMPTED PARRICIDE

AT CHISI% ICK.

HAMMERSMITH POLICE COURT.
Our readers will doubtless recollect the unfor-
tunate young sailor, Henry Bathurst Monkhouse,
who is charged with attempting to murder his father,
has been twice remanded from this office in conse-
quence of the dangerous state in which his father has
been placed from the wounds he received.
Yesterday being appointed by Mr. Beadon, the
magistrate of this district, for the bringing up again
of the prisoner, some anxiety was manifested in the
neighbourhood of the police-court, and a crowd was
collected within its precincts long before the time
appointed for the examination.
In consequence of the lamented indisposition of Mr.
Beadon, Mr. Paynter presided, and upon that
gentleman taking his seat, at half-past two
o'clock, the prisoner was placed at the bar.
He bore the same dogged appearance that he did on
his being brought before the magistrate on Wednes-
day week. He looked round the court, apparently for
the purpose of endeavouring to recognise some face
with which he was familiar, and upon discovering his
brother John, who had been in court some time
previous to the prisoner being placed at the bar, he
instantly turned his head away from him, and ap-
peared anxious to avoid his notice. Upon the prisoner
being placed at the bar,
Mr. Inspector Jecks stated that he had received a
eertificate from the medical gentlemen who were
attending Mr. Monkhouse, the father of the prisoner,
Mr. Raiford and Mr. Bowling, and that certificate
was to the following effect :
" We hereby cent!), that the wound in Mr. Monk-
house's throat is healing, and his general health im-
proving; but he is not yet sufficiently recovered to
appear at the police-court.
Signed, " J. BOWLING.
" EDW. HALFORD.

"Hammersmith, Oct. 24th, 1849."

Mr. PAYNTER, after reading the certificate, observed
that there was an erroneous opinion very generally
prevailing in the neighbourhood of Hammersmith and
Chiswick, that Mr. Monkhouse, the hither of the
prisoner, could, if he thought proper, refuse to appear
to prosecute his son, such a notion being totally
without foundation, and it must be understood that in
a case like the present the law was imperative, and
would compel the attendance of Mr. Monkhouse, sen.,
at that court when he was sufficiently recovered.
The prisoner was then remanded to Wednesday
next, and upon the application of Mr. John Monk-
house, the brother of the accused, the Magistrate
gave him permission to have an interview with his
unfortunate brother.

IRELAND.

THE KILLOUGHY TRAGEDY. - INQUEST ON

THE SECOND POLICEMAN.
(From the Leinster Express.)
In consequence of the death of Sub Constable
James Gleeson of wounds received in the affray at
Killoughy, on Sunday week, an inquest was held on
view of the body at the Court. house, Tullamore, on
Monday, before James Dillon, Esq., senior coroner of
the King's County.
After the examination of several witnesses,
The CORONER addressed the jury, when they re-
tired for about fifteen minutes, and returned the
following verdict :

" We find that on the 14th day of October Sub-Con-
stable James Gleeson, while in the execution of his duty,
was wilfully, feloniously, and maliciously fired at by an
armed party, to jurors unknown, whereby he received a
fracture, and a mortal gunshot wound, of which he
languished; and from the effect of the aforesaid gun-
shot wound died in the King's County infirmary,
Tullamore, on the 19th of October inst. We further
say, that John and Joseph Keyes, then and there,
were feloniously aiding, assisting, and abetting, while
fte said James Gleeson was being killed and mur-
dered."

Constable Balfour is not expected to recover.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDA T.—Thti arrival of the
Cambria, in the middle of last week, seemed to take
a little of the breath out of our market. Since
Friday, however, the spinners and manufacturers
have gathered up their courage again, and are now
demanding higher prices than those of a week ago.
The buyers of yarns, however, whether for ship-
ping or for home consumption, are not inclined
to operate on the required terms : some of
the merchants, indeed, prefer to re-sell their
stccks rather than export them; and transactions of
this nature are taking place. On the whole, extremely
little business has been done. In goods, also, the
transactions of the day have been exceedingly limited.
The home houses are still doing little. The India
merchants have hardly been in the market at all in
consequence of this being post-day, and of their
mail being daily expected; and the purchases for
other foreign markets have been of small
amount. The rise in prices is the principal
cause of this want of activity. The backward-
ness of buyers is, however, met with firmness and
independence on the part of producers, who, in light
articles, are almost without stocks, and in heavy ones
are so low in price as to have no fear of any further
decline. Although, since the commencement of the
present rise, yarns and goods have kept ahead of
cotton, yet the position of producers is actually more
unfavourable than it was six weeks ago; for, prior
to the sth inst. yarns and goods had been seriously
falling in value during some weeks, while, in the
same period cotton remained nearly stationary.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market con-
tinues much the same as it has been for two or three
weeks back. The hands are in full employment, and the
manufacturers have no stocks on hand. There is very
little change in wool, either in price or demand. The
manufacturers continue to buy only for immediate use.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The throwing trade of
this town is much in the same state as we last reported
it, the mills continuing to work full time. In the ma-
nufacturing department a decided flatness is percep-
tible, which is now being felt by the weavers, who find
diminished employment for the present. This, however,
is nothing unusual at this period of the year. We hear,
on the contrary, from Lyons, and the silk circles of
Elberfeld and Crefeld, on the Rhine, that the silk
manufacturing trade is very lively. The raw silk
market is reported very firm, both here and on the
continent.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAT.—The attendance of
buyers has been rather numerous, but we have not
heard of any heavy sales. It is the season when we
do not expect much to be done. In wools there is
a slight declince, and it is acknowledged that the re-
sults of the sales may be considered to show a lower
tendency.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been but a slack
attendance in our Piece Hall to-day, and but a few
goods were sold. There is, however, a fair amount of
business doing to order, and in the warehouses. Prices
remain stationary. The yarn trade continues brisk'
at full rates. Considerable sales of wool have taken.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN DASHWOOD KING, BART.—
We have to announce the demise of the above venerable
baronet, who expired on Monday last, after a protracted
illness. The deceased baronet was son of the third
baronet, who assumed his maternal name of Bing. lie
succeeded to the baronetcy and family estates ou the
death of his father in December, 1793, having previously
married, i❑ 1789, Mary Anne, daughter of the late Mr.
Theodore 11. Broadhead. The late baronet represented
the family borough of Wycombe in the House of Com-
mons in nine successive parliaments, but retired from
public affairs at the close of the parliament of 1830.
Sir John is succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son,
Mr. George 11. Dashwood, M.P.
DEATH OF CHOPIN, THE PIANIST.—The French
papers announce this event as having happened on the
17th instant. Mr. Frederic Chopin died of a disease
of the chest,, at the comparatively early age of thirty-
able.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
NEW COURT
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
George Barton, 19, tailor, William Barton, his
father, and Hanbury, an elderly-looking man,
were indicted for stealing a quantity of parchment
and paper, valued at above 201., the property of
Messrs. Chaplin, Horne, and others, the well-known
railway carriers.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin appeared to prose-
cute, and Mr. Cockle defended the younger prisoner.
The facts of the case, which have been fully re-
ported within the last few days, were these :—The
elder prisoner, Barton,' who is a well-known old thief,
and had evidently carried on the same game as the
present for some time, had been in the habit, in con-
junction with the other prisoner, of stealing lawyers'
parcels that had been sent by rail, and the plan
adopted on this occasion was this :—He had watched
the porter carrying the parcels (which being deeds
and papers were tied up in a particular way with red
tape) from the prosecutors' cart, which delivered
them in town after their transit by rail, and
having made up some false parcels to represent
them, he sent his son on the morning of the 27th of
September to Messrs. Gregory and Falkner, and also
to Home, Loftus, and Young, two well-known firms, to
effect the substitution of the one parcel for the other.
The parcels being left at an early hour and before
business commenced, the younger prisoner came,
attired like a porter with a book in his hand, and the
fictitious parcel, and asking if his fellow servant
from the railway had been there, said, " Oh, he has
made a mistake and left the wrong parcel," and having
obtained possession of the one just left, gave the false
one in its place, leaving word that when the porter,
who ' was supposed to have made a mistake, called
again, he was to come on to him at some public-house
he named. In this instance they had returned the
parcel anonymously, the deeds not being of any value
to them, and there not being a probability of a reward
being offered for their return, the younger Barton
being then in custody.
The jury found them all Guilty.
The COMMON SERGEANT said they evidently thought
that the parcels contained money. The lad, who had
been instigated by his father, he should order to be
imprisoned for six months ; Hanbury, who had aided
in the offence, to seven years' transportation ; and the
elder Barton, who was the prime mover in the affair,
to fifteen years.
