CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT

William Bradford, aged 56, described as a butcher, was
indicted for the ‘N iltul murder of Ann Bradford, his wife,

The Grand Jury ignored the bill for the capital charge, but
found one for manilaughter.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Esp;...cco_ conducted the prosecution.
The prisoner was undefended.
Margaret Miller stated that she was servant at the Black
Swan public-house, Rosemary-lane. Saw the prisoner on the
3d of August, about four o'clock. He was drunk. His
wife came into the house in a few minutes afterwards. She
was sober. She said to the prisoner, shall I take your beer
home, and he said. yes. She then went out. The pri-
soner remained behind. After she had gone he said to the
witness, that goo:I-for-nothing old woman, 1 will either murder
her or do for her.

Thomas Maynard, police-officer 74 11, was in Wentworth-
street on the day in question at the house of the prisoner. It had
a small shop. There was a crowd round the door. The windows
were broke, and the goods of the shop rolling out. Saw the pri-
soner inside. Asked him if he knew a female that waq outside
that was making a noise. He said he did ; it was his wile.
Witness said, why don't you let her in? He said he would
not, for she had threa'ened to cut his head open with the
tongs. Witness said, " nonsense, he would prevent all that."
He said, " is you request it, I will do so." Asked the woman if
she would be quiet, but ahe made no answer. The prisoner
opened the door, and she went on in a very violent manner.
She was very drunk at the time. About nine o'clock the next
morning was in Wentworth-street again, and met the pri-
soner. Asked him him how he settled the matter, and he said
his wife was very ill. Witness said he hoped he had not ill-
used her. He said lam tery sorry, but I. did strike her in
the face in the night ; but he did not think it would cause all
that injury, as he would not have her die for a thousand pounds,
for if she should, he would be hanged fur it.
Further evidence was given, which left no doubt that the
husband inflicted the blow.

The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury returned a
verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account
of the strong provocation he had received.
The prisoner was then sentenced to fcur months' impr;son-
ment and hard labour.

THE SYRIAN WAR.
Sir CHARLES NAPIER took that opportunity of in-
quiring whether it was intended to give compensation to the
peaceable inhabitants of. Syria, whose houses were de-
stroyed, their trees cut doWn, and their plantations
ruined by the necessary operations of the British troops
in the recent war ? and also, whether it was intended
to give compensation to the inhabitants of St. Jean
d'Acre for their losses under similar circumstances ?

Lord PALMERSTON was happy in being able to
state to his Gallant Friend that he had that very
morning received a despatch from Lord Ponsonby, in-
closing a copy of a renewed order sent by the Board to
the Governor of Acre, to make full remuneration.in both
the cases to which his Hon. and Gallant Friend had re-
ferred.—(Hear.)

LAW AYi•D POLICE.

James Spurle was charged at Union Hall, with setting tire to a
house No. 59, High-street, Laml eth, to obtain the insurance. His
room was discovered to be on fire, and chips, firewood, and tur-
pentine so placed as to ensure his purpose. A woman and her
family slept over the room thus stored with combustibles, and acci-
dentally discovered it by the prisoner's going out early in the
morning, and exciting her curiosity. The fire was happily checked
in time. He is fully committed.
A foreigner of the name of Gettin appeared at Queen.square,
for hovering about the premises of Mons. Cresnan, an oil-refiner,
at Mil'bank, and threatening to murder him. He had left France
to obtain employment under Mons. Cresnan, who had however
refused to engage him. On his arrest two razors were found on
his person, and a phial of deadly poison, sufficient to kill a dozen
people. Unable to find bail, he was sent to prison.
In the course of an inquest held on Tuesday by Mr. Wakley,
upon the body of a male infant, found in the Regent's Canals, the
Coroner remarked that the child might be the offspring of rich or
poor people, and might have been brought upwards of 100 miles
per railway before it was placed in the Canal. This frequently
happened, and he remembered a case where he held an inquest on
the body of a child, whose father, wishing its birth to be concealed,
carried it many miles, and buried it in a garden belonging to his
brother. In the course of two or three days after, however, the
body was discovered by a little dog, which scratched up the earth
where it was laid.
At the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday, a genteel-looking lad
of the name of Peerard, fourteen years of age, was tried for
stealing a penny, the property of William Ocock, a chemist, in
Judd.street, to whom he was apprenticed. The Jury without a
moment's hesitation acquitted the youth, when the foreman of
the Jury read the following opinion—" The Jurors beg to ex-
press their strong sense of the unfeeling conduct of the prosecutor
in this case." The Common Sergeant in reference to the con-
duct of a policeman mixed up in the business, thus described
policemen generally, " It appeared to him that policemen often
attempted to be Magistrate, Judge, and Jury.'' He might have
added and " something more."
A man of the isame of M'Csrmack, a rather respectable looking
3oung man, was fined ss. at Queen square on Tuesday, and in default
of payment sentenced to two months at the treadmill, for annoying
three ladies on Westminster.bridge.
At the Liverpool Assizes on the 2.3 d inst. an action was brought
by Mr. Ross, a calico printer, at Manchester, against Mr. Worth.
ington, an attorney, for a libel, published in the Manchester
Guardian, insinuating that the plaintiff had obtained surrepti-
tiously certain designs for printing calico. The defendant at first
pleaded a justification, but in the course of last week obtained a
Judges' order to withdraw it. Vardict-801. damages.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

The fresh arrivals of English Grain since Monday have been
small, Litt of Foreign Wheat considerable. The weather b..ing,

MANCHESTER BETTING.

TUESDAY EVENING.—The insignificant character of the
York list has not prevented several of our speculators from
being present ; and therefore the loom, this forenoon, not only
lacked influential faces, but left business at a very low ebb.—
The following were the chief offers :

THE LEAMINGTON STAKES.-3 to 1 against Rhodanthe
(offered, take 7to 2); 6to 1 against any other (offered) ; 8
to 1 against Modesty (taken). Offers to take 4tol on Mo-
desty and Champagne (layers of 60 to 20). As the room
broke up 100 to 6 would have been taken on the Lord Mayor,
it was offered to Bin two good quarters. Kingston Robin,
Recorder, The Dean, Caution, and one or two othe►s, which
had been previously nibbled upon, were not, to our knowledge,
even named; we must therefore give their prices as nominal.
Since Friday the first and last horses have been supported in
Liverpool at 8 to 1, and Robin here at noon yesterday at that
price ; Recorder at 6 and 7to 1; Bto lis the outside offer
against Champagne (takers of a point more).
THE ST. LEGER.—Every day tends to bring this event to
a completer certainty. To.day the desire war very great in the
best of quarters to lay against anything " bar two.'' Middle-
ham, at the opening, was picked out at the London price, but
soon two points more were laid ; 30 to 10 was laid on two
against the field, but this we consider rather above the market.
Offers at the close to take 5 to 4, and the layer to have either
Coronation or the field. We thought the horse had by a shade
the call.

Even on Coronation.
3 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Van Amburgh—offered.
Take 7 to 2 freely
12 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Middleham—taken
13 to 1 apt Mr. Ferguson's Tearaway—offered
16 to 1 agst Mr. Bell's The Squire—offered. Into 5 laid
last night.
100 to 3 was taken yesterday on the beaten Jack Shepherd.
THE YORK TIVO-YEAR-OLD.—A little money, at evens,
and 5 to 4 on Idolatry, penciled down.

CASE OF MR. DaiLEOD.

Mr. ROEBUCK rose and said, that.seeing the Noble
Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in his place,
lie would with the permission of the House proceed to
ask the Noble Lord certain questions, of which he had
given notice on the first night of the •Sesion respecting
the present relations between this country and America
with respect to the detention of Mr. M‘Leod. He had
stated, when he had given the notice, that it would
be necessary for him to make a few remarks . that the
House might understand the questions, which he was
about to put. His object in putting these questions
was as far as:possible to promote peace, and to obtain
that end he would suggest that before they came to any
conclusion Hon. Members should understand the ques-
tion of our relations with the United States. The
question, or rather questions he was abont to put were
five in number and related entirely to the detention of
Mr. M'Leod. That detention arose out of transactions
connected with the. steam-boat Caroline, an attack
upon which on the United States territory had . given
great umbrage not only to the State of New
York'but the United States generally. Therefore on ap-
plication was made to the Government of this country,
to which no answer was returned. It so happend that,
in the meantime, Mr. M'Leod, one of those persons
who was suspected of taking part in the attack, from
his own boastful, but as he (Mr. Roebuck) believed,
erroneous statement respecting it, happened to be
in the State of New York, and was arrested in con-
sequence of the belief so created. When he was
arrested, a feeling in this countr3tarose respecting it, and
orders were sent out to Mr. Fox, our Ambassador, to make
application to the Government of the United States de-
manding the liberation of Mr. M'Leod, and, there-
upon, an answer was made by Mr. Forsyth, the
American. Secretary for Foreign Affiiirs. To that
answer lie requested the attention of the House.
It should always be recollected that the demand was
made by Mr. Fox before an answer was made by the
Noble Lord respecting the Caroline. Mr. Forsyth's
answer was that they had no jurisdiction whatever in the
matter then stioken of—that it N;as a matter wholly
within the jurisdiction of the State cf New
York, and therefore the President of the United
States could give no answer nor interfere in the
matter, though relating to the safety of a British sub-
ject. He went even farther, and said that the President

Now, what he wanted to know of the INC!..'IO Lord was,
first, whether there had been any change us the lan-

cession of a new Government to power 4 It should
always be recollected, and this should haye ben the an-
swer given to Mr. Fox, that on the establishment of
Government in the United States they had declared they
considered themselves amenable to OAP int.4ll4tional

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTKR,—AIthough the market for yarn continues
much depressed, there has been a tolerable amount of business
done this week, and some kinds, particularly the lower counts
of mule yarn, which are relatively scarce, command rather
better prices than last week; whilst water twist, especially of
good quality, is rather more difficult of sale. In goods there
is little change from last week ; perhaps a little more business
has been done in 27-inch printing cloth, but at wretchedly low
prices. All other kinds of cloth continue greatly depressed,
and without any prospect of amendment until some check is
applied to the production.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUG. 23.—We have had a
steady demand for flannels to-day, without any change in the
prices. The wool market has been heavy, and prices about the
tame as those of the preceding Monday.

iitrnmsn-artr,. .114AnicET-, Auv.1..4.-01.1 the whole this
WB3 a busy market day—as good a one as any this year. The
demand is chiefly for fancy woollens, and other descriptions of
fancy goods, which have now become the staple trade of this
district. In plain superfines there was little done. Ilu4ness
in the warehouses is decidedly better, and prices are looking
up.—Manchester Guardian.

THE QUALIFICATION OATH.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

MACCLESFIELD, AUG. 23.—1 n the stirring events
which have taken- place throughout the united kingdom
during the late elections, perhaps there is not a town or
borough in the country which has got through a con-
tested election in a more peaceable and orderly manner
than the borough of Macclesfield.
However, an idea had been entertained by a portion
of the good people of Macclesfield, that the unpopular
Member did not possess. the requisite qualification as
prescribed by law ; and this opinion having been ex-
tensively circulated obtained an additional stimulus by
the failure of the bank of Daintry, Ryle, and Co., which
took place simultaneously with the election. The subject
became a matter of common conversation, and it was
generally believed that the Hon. Gentleman's qualifica-
tion would be tested. But what is everybody's business
is nobody's business, therefore the matter seemed likely
to fall to the ground, when, to the surprize of those inter-
ested, two electors (one of them a weaver and the other
a baker), came forward with the following requisition :

LAST WEEK of the WIZARD of the NORTH working

All who wish to see the Great Delusionist—or MIRACLE
OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY—must visit the
Adelphi during next week, as it will be the only opportunity
the lovers of the marvellous will have of beholding this SON
OF DELUSION, whose extraordinary powers have caused all
to wonder from the Throne to the Peasant, from the Peasant
to the Philosopher. A wonder unparalleled. The Great
Wizard, by his individual exertion, has filled the Adelphi
Theatre for one hundred nights, and could for three hundred
more, but that he is compelled to make way for the Great Fred.
(not Frederick the Great), who will commence his Mephistu-
philian orgies earlier than the Wizard expected.
" Come one—Come all !"—The Wizard will be found incom-
prehensible as he is invulnerable. A hunched of the best (X
the London Sportsmen have tried in vain to wing him, but he
is still on the wing, and will for one week more be their Living
Target.
The Wizard hopes that " Homo Invulnerabilis" will still be
his motto; and Ir. pledges himself that he will exert all his
powers to please his patrons, and to fill his Magic Temple to
the ceiling.

MISCELLANEOUS.

A correspondent in the Morning Advertiser states as a
positive fact, that two hundred people die annually of
starvation in London alone !

To-day is the anniversary of the birth of Prince Al-
bert, who completes his twenty-second year, having been
born in 1819. It is the anniversary also of the celebrated
battle of Cressy, which was fought in 1346.
On Tuesday the Collingwood, of 80 guns, was launched
from the Royal dockyard at Pembroke. She is built on
the same principle as the Vanguard, but is six feet
longer. The vessel was christened by Lady Jackson.
Two officers of the Life Guards were yesterday fined
51. each by the Brentford Magistrates, for throwing
detonating balls from the windows of a carriage, while
passing through that town ! This is a striking exem-
plification of the march of mind in the upper classes.
The sixth anniversary festival of the East Surrey
Conservative Society was celebrated yesterday at the
Horns, Kennington. The speeches were of average dull-
ness and prolixity.
The steam-boats brought down nearly a thousand
persons to Margate on Saturday last.
Yesterday morning a destructive fire broke out in
some farm-buildings on the land of Mr. Miller, at Lovel
Heath, near Crawley, by which seven horses were de-
stroyed.

THE SJTN, LONDON. THURS

MONEY and COMiiEttaAt-VAII.:

CITY, WEDNrSDAYEV4NING•

There were one or two tranasetions of some magnitude in
the emrse of the day, on aeccnnt, as was said, of the Bank of
England and an Assurance Company, but in the present un-
settled state both of political and commercial affairs, the public
evince but little disposition to do business. On the whole the
market wore a flat appearance, and prices ranged h per cent.
lower for Consols, which, for immediate transfer, were quoted
89i and 3to ; and for October, 891 to Exchequer Billet
were, 15s. to 17s. premium, and India Bonds 3s. to ss. pre-
mium, being steady. Bank Stock was firm at 169 ; the NeW'
Three-and-a-Half per .Cents. were not higher than 986 to 118*,
and the 'three per Cent. Annuities were marked 891 to
The more current value of money in the Stock Exchange eras

MANCHESTER BETTING.

TOF MAY EVY,NIND.—The insignificant character of the
York list has not prevented several of our speculators from
being presertt ; and therefore the room, this forenoon, not only
lacked iVatential faces, but left business at a very low ebb.—
The fnilowing were the chief offers :
THE LEAMINGTON STAKES.-3 to 1 against Rhodanthe
(offered, take 7t02) ; 6 tot against any other (offered) ; 8
to 1 against Modesty (taken). Offers tl take 4to lon Mo-
desty and Champagne (layers of 60 to 20). As the room
broke up 100 to 6 would have been taken on the Lord Mayor,
it was offered to Bin two good quarters. Kingston Robin,
Recorder, The Dean, Caution, and one or two °theta, which
ha.: been previously nibbled upon, were not, to our knowledge,
even named; we must therefore give their prices as nominal.
Since Friday the first and last horses have been supported in
Liverpool at 8 to 1, and Robin here at noon yesterday at that
price ; Recorder at 6 and 7 to 1; Bto lis the outside offer
against Champagne (takers of a point more).
THE ST. LEGER.—Every day tends to bring this event to
a completer certainty. To-day the desire was very great in the
best of quarters to lay against anything " bar two." Middle-
ham, at the opening, was picked out at the London price, but
soon two points more were laid ; 30 to 10 was laid on two
against the field, but this we consider rather above the market.
Offers at the close to take 5 to 4, and the layer to have either
Coronation or the field. We thought the horse had by a shade
the call.
Even on Coronation.
3 to 1 apt Lord Westminster's Van Amburgh—offered.
Take 7 to 2 freely
12 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Middleham —taken
13 to 1 apt Mr. Ferguson's Tearaway—offered
16 to 1 agst Mr. Bell's The Squire—offered. 10. to 5 laid
last night.
100 to 3 was taken yesterday on the beaten Jack Shepherd.
THE Yoitx Two-YEAR-OM:4—A little money, at evens,
and 5 to 4 cn Idolatry, penciled down.

A few days ago, a quarrel having arisen betwetn
several of the porters and commissionnaires of the Halle in the
Rue des Lavandieres, the parties proceeded to blows, and car-
ried on the fight with such earnest that the inhabitants became
and,
in order to separate the combatants, threw pails
arzof
fathem from their windows. The plan was per-
.aetedr,
uponfectly successful; and when some Alunicipal Guards and Ser-
geants de Ville came up, the combatants were so cooled that
it was net thought necessary to arrest any of them ; but, says
the Commerce, the Sergeants de Ville, resolving not to have
been called out for nothing, drew up a report against the in-
hab;tants, who had put an end to the affray, for throwing water
into the streets contrary to the municipal reptlations.

OF ENGLAND.—Deaftiess, and those who are slightly dull allowing
and find a difficulty to a tch the sound of a distant low speak*,
at a public assembly, wil I find a most astonishing advantage from
the use of the Messrs_ S," and B. Solomons' newly. invented Invisi-
ble Operative Voice Comas ctor, which, when fixed into the cavity of
the ear is so small as I got to be the, least perceptible, nor more un
comfortable than havi. lg .1 piece of wool iu its place. By this extra.
ordinary and valuable Wier. lion, not only does the hearing become
acute, but the ears are 'so mu oh improved from their use, that indivi-
duals in react r ofinex ances, can hear most distinctly without
them. thera me be semen that persons do not incur any con-
stant habit of being c, impe lied at all times to make use of them, and
in consequence et the numerous individuals having been altogether
relieved from deane Is, tl ley have become in general use. The
Messrs. Solomons' Ne wly.b avented Spectacle benses, immediately
they are placed before imperfect eyesight, either by day or candle-
light, every object lieeumes • clear and distinct, and the most minute
