STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER' FEB. 9.—This market continues very dull
and cheerless. There is exceedingly little demand for piece
goods of any description, and prices of sbirtings and print-
ing cloth are barely sustained. The yarn market is even
worse than that for goods. Prices are, in many cases lower
this week ; but the decline has had no influence on the
buyers, and scarcely any business is transacted. Under the
present circumstances of the market, it is not surprising to
find that the working of short time is now tnaki.ag progress
in quarters into which it had not previously penetrated. We
understand that the principal spinners and manufacturers at
Glossop have already commenced, and those of Stalybridge
have decided on taking the same course. We have no doubt
their example will be extensively followed in the adjoining
district.

ROCHDALE, FEB. B.—The flannel market has undergone
no change since last Monday. The demand continues li-
mited, and prices much the same as last week's. Wool is
heavy of sale, at previous rates.
HALIFAZ, Fan. 6.—There is little to notice this week, in
any department of business. In the piece hall everything
wears the same dull appearance; and the yarn trade remains
much the same, as to production, price, and remuneration
to the spinner. .Not much wool, either long or short, is
changing hands; and if there be any alteration, it is in fa-
vour of the buyer.
HUDDERSFIELD, Fsn. 9.—There is but little doing in ae
Cloth Hall to-day; and the rise or corn at Mark-lane 7M..
terday, casts a damp upon our market. The orders for light
goods came in so late that much remains unexecuted, and
at present there has been no new patterns in dark goods.
which we have generally had at this period.
LEEDS, FAS. 9.—There has been a rather better business
doing to-day in our market than last month; and, if some
slight symptoms do not deceive, a brisker demand for low
woollen cloth is likely soon to ensue. Other descriptions of
woollen cloth, however, being totally neglected, the dulness
of our trade is but very partially relieved. Prices closed ra-
ther firmer.—llfaschester Guardian.

LATEST FROM MEXICO.

The Barney Castle has arrived at Liverpool. Her
dates are from New York the 15th. Boston the 16th,
and the day previous from the seat of war. She brings
specie to the amount of two millions of rupees, and
files of the New York papers. The correspondent of
the Locofoco says :—" General G rowdy's division yes-
terday came up with the main body of the Mexican
force under General Cabanas, at Rionogo, where the
New Orleans Picayune informs us that a severe en-
gagement took place. Both parties won the victory,
and were repulsed with severe slaughter. Santa Anna
was present in the action, in the course of which his
head was shot off. lie subsequently addressed $
heart-stirring proclamation to the Mexican nation, in
which he described the action of the 27th, which
ended in the utter defeat of the Americans, whose
victory, however, cost them dear. Immediately after
their success they proceeded to evacuate the town,
which they bombarded the next day. The Aire-
' rican troops were annihilated after a trifling skirmish,
in which Santa Anna lost his leg, which was ampu-
tated on the spot. before the retreat of the Mexicans
upon Cacapulco. It is reported that he has yielded,
the presidency to General Nosotros. General Whack s
brigade is at Sangarbanzos, hotly pursued by the
Mexicans. In this disaster the indefatigable Santa
Anna was wounded severely, a cannon ball from
howitzer taking off his right hand. From this place,
after the operation, he wrote a pathetic appeal to
the Mexican Senate, and complained bitterly of the
cowardice of General Pumpanillas, who waq at
Nossa Senhora de las Podridas, harassing the flanks
of Major Cowitch's Alleghany Rangers. General
Scott was unwell; but it is not true that he has
been compelled to take Jalapa. Major Bung's ar-
tillery is at Todododos. A deserter from the enemy
came in yesterday. He says thet President Santa,
Anna received a twenty-eight pounder through his
body, after which he renewed the action. The
bombardment of the Los Leperos is not confirmed.
Santa Anna received a congreve rocket in the left
knee there, and has ordained the formation of a
similar corps. I shut up, as the courier is going.
The Legion of Saint Nicholas, under O'Snraggs9
performed prodigies of valour on both sides. Plung-
ing into the thickest of the melee at Pickapockatickl,
O'Scraggs engaged personally with General Raggt
whose pocket-handkerchief, after a severe struggle, be
succeeded in carrying off. It has been hung up in
the cathedral of Mexico, amongst the other colour§
taken in the campaign. In the engagement at San"
Ladrones, so creditable to both sides, O'Scraggst
whose legion was then acting with the American
army, had almost taken prisoner Santa Anna, who
had both legs shot off by our brave bombardiers ; his
silver snuff-box, however, was captured out
General's coat pocket, as he fled from a field where he
had covered himself with so much glory. Captain
Scraggs used the snuff-box on the last day of his
brilliant existence, when he died the death of a hero,
being hanged before the American lines, to the delight
of both armies."—Punch. of the

DEATH or THE COUNTESS OF CORNWALLIS.—This
much respected lady died on Thursday, the 4th inst., at
St. Leonard's. on-Sea, after a lengthened illness, at the
early age of 37. Her Ladyship, who was particularly
known for her benevolent disposition, was the fourth
daughter of Thomas Bacon, Esq., of Redland, Berks,
and was married to Earl Cornwallis in August, 1842,
being his Lordships third wife. She leaves issue a
daughter, Lady Julia, born in 1844.
ILLNESS OF THE KING or SbaDINIA......A. Frankfort
journal states, on the authority of a letter from Turin,
that the King of Sardinia had been attacked with a vio-
lent complaint in the chest, which had required him to
be bled four times. He was afterwards better.
WESTMINSTER OPTHALMIC HOSPlTAL.—Yester-
day a meeting of the Governors and Committee of the
above Hospital, founded in 1816, for the relief of the in-
digent poor labouring under diseases of the eye (without
letters of recommendation), was held in the Board-room
of the Institution, in Agar-street, Charing-cross, for the
transaction of business. The report stated that there
were now on the books near 3,000 out-patients and 15
in-patients ; for the reception of the latter class the
wards contain 30 beds, but owing to the present low state
of the funds, the above number only can be admitted.
4,100 persons had been relieved during the past year,
of whom 181 were in-patients. Since its e.,tablishment
more than 67,000 poor have participated in its benefits.
WINTERING FOR SHEEP.—From the abundant crop
of turnips this year, there be no lack of wintering
for sheep. Four thousand hogs, all the way from Lochar-
kaig, in the heights of Locheil's country, have this week
arrived in our neighbourhood, a great portion of which
is to be wintered on the farms of Mr. Ross, Ardvall, and
Mr. Grey, Auchterneed. Locharkaier is considered to
be among the best sheep walks in the Highlands, anti its
enterprising tenant, Mr. Cunningham, may be said to be
one of the most extensive rearors of sheep, his stock at
present on that farm alone being upwards of 16,000.

STATE OF TRADE.

The cut-up cotton hose branch has suddenly be-
come much worse, and numbers of hands have been
discharged. This depression has, to some extent,reached the wrought hose branch in some of the /11"
lages, who are suffering severely, but not to the ex-
tent of the town hands. In the midst of so much
real depression, the evil is much aggravated by ru"
mours, which we find, upon inquiry, to be without
foundation. The drawer branch, with some of the
firms, has felt a depression, and rumour has much in"
creased this evil also. The cotton glove trade has not
improved, and is not likely to do so, as the hosiers of
~
Leicester are discharging glove hands in great
numbers ; the panic in the Leicester trade
which had subsided a few months since, has
recommenced. The silk glove branch is much
worse, and the hands are in a most deplorable
state. We have heard of a few knotted hands
having been set on upon a " stint." The cotton
bobbin net trade has again as suddenly recovered,
as it unexpectedly fell, and the bags are again !ea
upon the move. This proves upon what a slight
foundation this business is placed, as the slightest
occurrence raises or depresses the manufacture.
silk bobbin net is yet in the best condition, and is
likely to be so, as these articles are quite the vogue irt.
Paris, and of course in London, and in southern Ell
rope. We find a good number of eight-quarter cir-
culars have been removed from France to Spain,
principally to Catalonia, Arragon, and Biscay--a few
Englishmen manage them. If these machines are tow
make silk nets, to supersede Spanish made point net,
the speculation will be a complete failure, as bobbin
net is utterly unfit to be ornamented in the same
manner that point net has been so long done in Spain.
The cotton warp net is certainly a little gaining
ground : a new machine, called a Mule, has been
started at New Lenton, with great advantage; it
combines the frame needle with the bobbin and ear:
riage. This may appear strange to mechanics. It I°
kept a profound secret, though several machine
owners wish to obtain the method; the inventor.
having no faith in protection from patents, keeps Ws
shop doors fast, and the hands earning good wages Are
as anxious to keep the secret as their master.--N°'

Ross-sliire Advertiser.
London, England, 1847-11-06

A failure, small in amount, but much regretted,
was announced to-day, the parties being Messrs.
Judah Cohen and Sons, West India merchants. The
house was a very old one; but, with the depreciation
of West India property, its transactions had
diminished, and the present liabilities do not ex-
ceed 52,000/., of which 8,0001. is covered. It is
understood, that finding, on a minute investigation
of his affairs, that the value of his assets fell
short of his engagements by about 2,0001. or 4,0001.,
Mr. Cohen at once resolved to stop, although the step
might easily have been deferred, as it was not ren-
dered inevitable by any immediate pressure. Under
these circumstances, therefore, there is reason to hope
for a favourable liquidation. The amount of accept-
ances in the above total of liabilities is 13,0001.
The private letters from Liverpool and Manchester
have to day been much more cheerful. At the latter
place it is said there was an improved market, with a
fair amount of actual business. This afternoon, how-
ever, it became known in London that Messrs. Mars-
land, Veltmann, and Co., of Manchester and Stock-
port, had been unable to meet their engagements.
Mr. Marsland was the colleague of Mr. Cobden in
the last Parliament in the representation of Stock-
port, and his family have long been identified with
the interests of the place. The general impression
is that everybody will be paid in full, the senior
partner having private property (upon which at the
present time he had endeavoured in vain to raise
money), irrespective of his capital in the concern. It
is, indeed, not deemed impossible that the difficulty
may prove only a temporary one. The amount of
liabilities has not been stated, but it is supposed they
are not very large.
In their circular, dated Liverpool last evening,
Messrs. T. and IL Littledale and Co. give the follow-
ing account of their recent application to the Bank of
England :
"As mis-statements continue to be published, and
much misapprehension exists as to our late application
to the Bank of England, we think it well to state the
facts, for the satisfaction of our friends abroad, which
were simply these:—The stoppage of the Royal Bank,
on the 18th of October, proved the climax of mistrust
and alarm. At such a juncture it was needless to
apply to any other local bank to take up the account ;
we, therefore, went to the Bank of England, and
asked them to open an account with us, on similar
terms to those we had with the Royal Bank, and to
afford us facilities of discount to the extent of 100,0001.
both which were acceded to in the most handsome
manner. No loan of Consols or advance of money
was required, or securities asked for, nor have we as
yet availed ourselves of the amount granted for the
discount of a single bill."

The Blarney Castle has arrived at Liverpool. Her
dates are from New York the 15th, Boston the 16th,
and the day previous from the seat of war. She brings
specie to the amount of two millions of rupees, and
files of the New York papers. The correspondent of
the Locofoco says :—" General Growdy's division yes-
terday came up with the main body of the Mexican
force under General Cabanas, at Rionogo, where tiW
New Orleans Picayune informs us that a severe etts-•
gagement took place. Both parties won the victory%
and were repulsed with severe slaughter. Santa Ant?,
was present in the action, in the course of which his.
head was shot off He subsequently addressed ft,
heart-stirring proclamation to the Mexican nation, in
which he described the action of the 27th, which
ended in the utter defeat of the Americans, whose
victory, however, cost them dear. Immediately after
their success they proceeded to evacuate the town,
which they bombarded the next day. The Arne-
ricarr troops were annihilated after a trifling skirmcsh,
in which Santa Anna lost his leg, which was ampu-
tated on the spot, before the retreat of the Mexicans
upon Cacapulco. It is reported that he has
yielc led
the presidency to General Nosotros. General Wbac
brigade is at Sangarbanzos, hotly pursued by the
Mexicans. In this disaster the indefatigable Santa
Anna was wounded severely, a cannon ball f.roin a
howitzer taking off his right hand. From this places
after the operation, he wrote a pathetic appeal to
the Mexican Senate, and complained bitterly of the
cowardice of General Pumpanillas, who wa-4 at

Scott was unwell; but it is not true that he has
been compelled to take Jalapa. Major Bung's .ar-
tillery is at Todododos. A deserter from the enet ny
came in yesterday. He says that President Santa
Anna received a twenty-eight pounder through .his
body, after which he renewed the action. Sha

Santa Anna received a congreve rocket in the. left

The Legion of Saint Nicholas, under O'Scravg.S

silver snuff-box, however, was captured out of the
General's coat pocket, as he fled from a field where 110
had covered himself with so much glory. Capt ain

2s. 6d. per week. Her son was tried and convicted,
and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, but no
counsel appeared to defend him. The facts she com-
municated to the judge of the court, and she saw no
more of the prisoner until she traced him and gave
him into the custody of 95 F division, who took him
to Bow-street, where he was ordered to be brought
before the magistrate of this court for examination.
Mr. Mould, the clerk, said there were a set of
scoundrels lurking about at the sessions to take advan-
tage of poor ignorant persons in their misery, from
who►n they obtained money under pretence of feeing
cvansel,&c.

Mr. TyawnlTT said that any person might give
counsel a brief, but the proper course was for it to be
done by an attorney. He asked the prisoner if he
would put any questions to the prosecutrix ?
The Prisoner—l will put no questions to her. He
referred the Bench to the Times newspaper, in which
allusion had been made to the affair, and said that Mr.
Ilorry was to meet Mr. Sergeant Adams on Monday
next, by appointment, to have the matter explained
by that gentleman.

Mr. TYRWHITT—Pray, what are you ? The Pri-
soner—l am clerk to Mr. Arthur Joseph Head.
Mr. Mould—Of course he is on the law list ?
The prisoner replied in the affirmative, and said
that on the day in question he was with Mr. Wooler,
who had some briefs, when a man came up to him and
introduced the proiecutrix to him, saying her son was
to be tried for an assault ; she was a poor woman, and
would ho employ counsel for her ? lle agreed to do
so, and in consideration of her poverty he explained
to her that counsel's fee was one guinea, but he re-
ceived a half-guinea from her, and took her I 0 U
for the remainder at 2s. 6d. per week, and he intro-
duced her to Mr. Horry. The constable had the
I 0 U in his possession.
Mr. TYRWIHTT said he must discharge the prisoner,
and leave the prosecutrix to her remedy in the county
court for the recovery of her 10s. He regretted that
such practices were adopted in the metropolis ; and
after some remarks on the impropriety of such pro-
ceedings, he told the prisoner he was discharged, and
to go away.
Prisoner—l have two brothers who are barristers,
and I am well acquainted with the practice.
Mr. TYRWHITT—I am very sorry for it, and that
such practices should take place.
The prisoner then left the court, followed by the
prosecutrix. _ _ _

THE RECENT ATTEMPTED MUILDER AND SUICIDE
IN THE CITY.—On Sunday evening the reporter W 141) in-
formed that the man Ovenatone, in Guy's -Hospital,
under the care of Mr. Hinton, the assistant surgeon,
was much worse. On Saturday he left his bed, accom-
panied by the police-officer, who was in private clothes,
to walk in the garden at the rear of the accident ward.
Yesterday he refused being shaved, and appeared to be
considerably worse, erysipelas having presented itself,
which will prevent his leaving the institution for some
days. He was visited during the day by his immediate
relatives, and his mind seemed very depressed. Mr.
Crawley is still in St. Thomas's Hospital, progressing
very favourably, and is expected to leave to day.

NEW COURT.

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman

FARNCOMB.)
BIGAMY.— W. Brown Chatwin, a rather respectable-
looking young man, and described in the calendar as a
cabman, was convicted of bigamy in marrying a female
named 11,trriet Anderson, 'his former wife, Rebecca
Lucas, being still alive.
The COURT sentenced him to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.
Samuel Charles Prince, 18, the steward of an American
vessel in the port of London, was convicted of stealing a
gold coin called a half eagle, the property of Eric Orr,
and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard
labour.
CHARGE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Joseph Glisson, in
appearance a respectable man, was charged with stop.
ping a lady named Barnes in Manor-place, Walworth-
road, in company with another individual, and robbing
her of her purse, containing a sovereign and some silver
and a cheque for N. on Weston and Young's Bank in
the Borough. _ _

From the evidence of Mrs. Barnes it appeared that on
Tuesday, the 13th of July, about 11 o'clotk in the
evening, she was returning home, when she was met by
the prisoner and another man in Manor-place, Walworth.
She suspected that they intended to rob her, and she
placed her hand in such a manner in her pocket as she
thought would protect her purse. When they had
passed her she found it gone, and the next morning at an
early hour she proceeded to Weston's bank, where she
saw the prisoner, who had presented the cheque, and
who she immediately recognised as one of the persons
who robbed her. The prisoner, who was immediatety
taken into custody, denied the charge of the robbery,
and stated that he had received the cheque from a person
who owed him money. On the case being taken before
the magistrate he refused to commit the prisoner for the
robbery, permitting him to go at large on bail, at the
same time stating that the prosecutrix Haight, if she
chose, prefer an indictment against him at the Central
Criminal Court. which she had done. The grand jury
found a true bill against the prisoner, upon which he
was now placed on his trial.
Mr. Robinson conducted the prosecution.
Mr. PARRY addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
called several witnesses for the purpose of proving an
alibi.

• prietor of some extensive saw-mills in Whitechapel,
by means of a false pretence.
It appeared that on the 24th of September last,
about a quarter to seven in the evening, the prisoner
went to Mr. Kellan's private residence, 12, Rodly-
terrace, Mile-end-road, and stated to the cook, who
opened the door, that he was a servant in the employ
of Mr. Dixon, horse dealer, Barbican, and that Mr.
Kellan had been there to look at some horses with
the view of purchasing one, but as Mr. Dixon did
not possess an animal that suited him, they
were both going down to another establish-
ment of Mr. Dixon's, at Ilford. He added
that Mr. Kellan had sent him in all haste to get his
great coat, also he was to bring a horsecloth and a
bridle to fetch the horse home with. The servant
asked him why Mr. Kellan had not sent a written
authority for her to deliver the articles ? To which
he replied, " Mr. Kellan would have done so, but he
had not time, as he was afraid of missing the train."
On the faith of this she let him have Mr. Kellan's
great coat and a horsecloth. The bridle she could not
find. On Saturday night as the servant, Julia Joyce,
was going up Whitechapel, she again saw the pri-
soner, and he had Mr. Kellan's great coat on at the
time. She followed him till she met a policeman, and
gave him into custody.
Mr. Kellar identified the coat produced as his pro-
perty. lie had never authorised the prisoner to obtain
it, or deliver the message he had done.
In his defence the prisoner declared that he had
bought the coat five months since.
He was fully committed for trial.
