STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JUNE B.—For the last three
days there has been very little demand for goods ; for
yarn, still less ; and prices of both have declined since
Tuesday last. The re-action in the price of corn, and
the unfavourable intelligence respecting the re-appear-
ance of the potato disease in various parts of the king-
dom, are generally assigned as the causes of this
unfavourable change in the condition of our market ;
and they certainly are quite sufficient to account for it.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JUNE 7.—The flannel market,
still remains inactive, and the demand for goods is
limited. In some cases pieces have been bought at
lower prices, and those who are compelled to sell must
submit to the reduction. There is little change in the
wool market ; the dealers complain of having little to
do, and prices for foreign wool have a downward ten-
dency.
lIALurAi, SATURDAY, JUNE s.—There has been a
somewhat better attendance of merchants, we wish we
could say buyers, in our piece hall to-day ; and fancy
goods, chiefly for the American market, are rather more
in demand, but prices continue wretchedly low ; and in
the general trade of the district there is manifested no
improvement. The demand for yarn continues very
limited, with a disposition, on the part of the spinner, to
yield slightly in price. In long wool nothing is bought
but to supply the most pressing wants, and what is done
is at lower rates. In short wool there is little doing, and
without any alteration in price.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JUNE B.—ln heavy goods
there has been but little done. in consequence of the
nearness of the wool sales. Manufacturers of vestings
continue busy.
LEEDS, TUESDAY, JUNE B.—Our this day's market
is so little different from that of last week, that we can-
not vary our report; one might perhaps say that there
has been a slightly improved business doing to-day, but I
very slightly indeed.—Manchester Guardian.

COURT OF Aiy ERMEN.
On Tuesday a court was held for the dispatch of busi-•
ness. It was mentioned in the paper of business that
judgment would be given on the petition of Mr. Stephen
Stuart Curtis, complaining of the conduct of Messrs.
Goad and Rigg, brokers.
THE DEPLORABLE STATE OF THE G/LTSPITR-STREET
PRISOIL.
The SHERIFFS having made their report on the state
of the City prisons,
Alderman WILSON nose and said he had received a
letter from the Town-elk, written by the direction of
the Committee of the wiisele Court, requesting his imme-
diate attention, as visiting magistrate, to the disorderly •
conduct of the prisoners confined in Giltspur street
Compter. He begged to reaserk upon that communi-
cation that be had not been inattentive to his duties, but
that he had long been fully and fearfully alive to the
dreadful state of disorder which preveiled in that gaol,
and he begged to say that he by no means deserved the
imposition of the personal responsibility now thrown
upon him; but he would call upon the Court for its joint
assistance.—(Hear, hear.) lle had been cceupied al-
most daily in endeavouring to restrain the prisoners
from the perpetration of acts of violence, and, not.
withstanding all his efforts, the greatest dangers were
to be apprehended to the public peace, in consequence
of the existing insubordination. It was in vain
that he addressed them in the language of expos..
tulation and menace. One of the ringleaders in the
di-.orders in a very short time demolished sixty-
, nine panes of glass ; others followed the example in
1 that description of outrage, whilst others committed
violent assaults upon their fellow-prisoners. The
removal to separate cells produced no abatement of the
noise and disposition to violence amongst the abandoned
inmates. They threatened the governor, assaulted the
turnkeys, and pulled to pieces their beds, and every other
kind of furniture they could lay their hands upon, and he
had at last been compelled to put in force the Act of Par-
liament authorising the infliction of corporal punishment,
an extremity to which he had never before resorted, to
bring the principal offenders to a sense of their ditty
and of common decency. The a hole of the gross rats-
conluct he had faintly described arose, he must say,
from the want of the means of accomplishing classifies-
tion, from the want of a sufficient number of cells for de
separation of the unmanageable from the well-disposed,
and the impossibility in a place so overcrowded with
human beings to make any practical arrangement for the
observance of order. lie had been eudeavouring for the
last seven years to cause the erection of a new gaol, and
although some progress had been made towards the
attainment of that great object, he apprehended that
it was still almost confined to the imagination. If the
important question happened to meet with the Jams-
sure of procrastination to which other important
matters had been subjected, Government or Parlia-
ment would, he hoped, effectually interfere. He was
determined to press the necessity of such interference
in order to prevent the serious mischiefs which every one
who witnessed, as he had witnessed, what constantly
occurred in the Compter could not help anticipating.
It would be desirable to be informed by Sheriff Challis,
who was the chairman of the Building Committee, what
was the cause of the delay, and what difficulties pre-
sented themselves in the prosecution of the labours of
that committee.

Alderman and Sheriff CHALLIS said the reports which
he and his brother Sheriff presented differed in nothing
from the reports usually handed to the Court of Alder-
men, and the books of the visiting magistrates contained
all the details of the daily occurrences i,ith unietermitted
regularity, and were produced before the committee
every Saturday. He aded,ted that great evils aroso
from the want of tho means of classifying the prisoners
in the Compter. In the absence of those means the ne-
o,ssary di-cip;ine could not be orgleiz-d, but the magis-
trates were doing all they c u.d do to improve the
prison as far as was compatible with its size and existing
ca .abilities. They had ..ppoieted a sub-committee. who
had embodied a system of rules ior its regulation
and management., and that system only required the
sanction of the Secretary of State to be carried into
t ffect, and he had determined to raise the salaries of
those who had the superintendence of the inmates, so
that a better class of men would be engaged in the per-
formance of the duties. As regarded the new gaol, no
time had been at all lost. The committee constantly as-
sembled for the purpose of carrying out the intentions of
the Court, impressed with the urgent nature of the ne-
cessity.—(Hear, hear.)
Alderman FAREBROTHER said that if the Compter
was so much crowded with prisoners, it would be very
easy to transfer a great portion of that crowd to New-
gate, in which prison, from the nature of the arrange-
ments there, sufficient room could be supplied to effect
classification to a certain extent. He certainly could
not see that the least blame was attributable to the
magistrates, or that they were chargeable with having,
in the remotest degree, caused delay in the erection of
the new prison.
Sir PETER LAURIE deprecated the discussion of such
a question under the present circumstances, but he
hoped that the documentary matter on the subject of
transportation, published by order of the House of Lords,
would be sperdily brought down to the court.
The RECORDER said be could state to a certainty that
the opinions of the English, Irish, and Scotch judges were
unanimously in favour of retaining transportation as a
punishment.—(Hear, hear.)
Alderman SIDNEY strongly condemned the still exist-
ing abomination of Giltspur street Prison, the dreadful
state of which was the cause of the transportation of
such masses of the people. He was convinced that if the
means of classification were not adopted, and the magis-
tracy did not show more activity in carrying out the
great object of those who meant well to the community,

Government must take the whole business into their own
hands, and erect a building adapted to the exigencies of
the time.

DEFECTIVE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Alderman HOOPER, in the absence of Alderman Cope..
land, presented an important statement of the inspectors
of weights and measures for the city of London, and
liberties and precincts thereof, fer the year 1646.
Tl:e statement, which was ordered to be printed and
distributed amongst the members of the court, contained
the result of the inspection : the number of convictions in
each ward, together with the amount Of the fines during
the years 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846; the produce of
condemned weights and measures ; the numbering of
beams and scales, we ighing machines, weights and
measures under the supervision of the inspectors, and
the numbering of s.ops, public•houses, &c., using
weights, meausures, &c., under the supervision of the
inspectors.
JUDGMENT IN THE CASE OF THE SKIN FACTORS AND

BROKERS.

This case came before the Court by a petition from

Ar. Stephen Curtis, complaining that Messrs. Goad
and Rigg, brokers licensed by the Court, did previously
to a sale announce, as one of the conditions, that
one half per cent was to be paid by the buyer into
the hand,: of the selling broker on receiving the order
for the delivery of the goods ; that Mr. Curtis re-
tnonstrated at the tin.e o sale against the condition,
but the sale was preee,ded with in spite of his re-
monstrance; that he purchased a certain quantity of
hides at the gale; that on subsequently tendering the
price of the hides, less the half-per cent., the brokers re-
fused to receive that sum, and made a demand by their
attornt-ys f.,r the whole sum, inc uding the half per
cent., which he was thus constrained to pay. The
pethiener averred that he did not in any way employ
the broker, and that the double brokerage was contrary
to the civic laws and usages, and injurious to trade.
The brokers in their reply stated that the charge of
one half per cent. was just and legal, anti the long-esta-
blished usage of the trade. They quoted a legal opi-
nion that they were acting either as factors or auc-
tioneers, ard might legally make the payment of one
half per cent. a condit on of the sale, which the
party buying on that condition could not then refuse to
pay, and they confidently hoped that the Court would
not interfere with the custom of the trade.
The RECORDER stated the following to be the judg-
ment of the Court:—" That the petition having been
read, together with the answer thereto, and the allega-
tions and proofs of the parties considered, and counsel
heard thereon, this Court has resolved, that under all
the circumstances this Court will not take any further
proceedings therein." _

The Solicitor for Mr. Curtis rose to address the Court,
but

The RECORDER said the judgment of the Court was la
the terms he had expre:,srd, and that there was no
comment or explanation to be made.
Alderman IIuGHEs HuGuEs—lt is proper, too, that
the paws should understand that the judgment was
unanimou&

Upon the motion of Aldermen H. HUGHES, seconded
by Alderman Lucas, the petition of Mr. Curtis was then
dismissed.

THE BROKERS' BOND.
Alderman FAREBROTHER moved " Tl3at it be referred
to an especial committee to consider the terms of the
brokers' bond and the various rules and regulations now
in force, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it is
expedient and proper to make any and what alterations
therein in consequence of the changes which have taken

MODEL LODOING-110USE.—The society for improv-
ins the condition of the labouring classes have opened a
model lodging-house in Charles-street, Drury-lane. It pro-
vides for the accommodation of single labouring men in a
way that must be an immense improvement upon the dens in'
which so many congregate nightly about St. Giles's and
elsewhere. Each inmate here by paying 4d. per night, or.
2s. a week, is provided with a separate bed, the means of
washing (including a bath, towels, soap, &c.), a fire to cook
his food at, and a room to sit in during the evening or any
unemployed hours. lle will also, we believe, as soon atti2llo
can be established, have the use of a small library. —T..1.10
