BOW-STREET.

A young woman, named Lyons, was brought before Mr.
Twyford, charged with going to St. Giles's workhouse in a
state of intoxication, and demanding relief. The master of
the house, seeing the state she was in, called a policeman, who
took her into custody.
The officer stated that, on his attempting to take her, her
conduct was so violent that they were obliged to fetch the
stretcher to strap her down before they could take her to the
station-house.

In her defence she said she was very sorry, and it should not
occur again.
11r. Tw v roan said such conduct could not be allowed, and
sent her to the House of Correction for one month.
Two men, named Bell and Graham, were then charged, the
former with assaulting, and the latter with obstructing, the
officers at the time they were taking the woman into custody.
Bell was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment, and the other
to pay tlos. or be sent to the House of Correction.

STATE OF TRADE. •
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER.—The Whitsuntide holidays operated,
along with other causes, in limiting the demand yester
day ; and the amount of business done was, of course,
very small. In some quarters it was stated that prices
of yarn were considered rather steadier, and that spin-
ners were less disposed than heretofore to make sacri-
fices. In cloth, however, there was not the slightest im-
provement, and calicoes were sold at lower prices than
were ever before known in periods of even the greatest
depression and panic.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MAY, I.
The flannel market yet remains in the same depressed
state, and there is no prospect of any sudden improve-
ment. The business done in pieces has been very limited,
and at prices extremely low. The wool market bas been
dull with prices giving way.

Mr. GODSON presented a petition from an individual
named Cox, stating that at the last election for Notting-
ham, he had been a supporter of the present Member
that since then he had been offered a sum of money to
buy over the Chartists to the Whig party, that he would
not consent, and that then he had been offered a sum of
money to go out of the way, or to go to Bassetlaw, New-
ark, or Walsall to bribe the electors during the ensuing
election, and that he had been offered 50/. and al his expen-
ses to do so, and that he had further been informed that
it had been arranged with the returning officer that
the elections for Bassetlaw and Walsall should not
take place on the same day. He further stated
that, in order to test the sincerity of the rar-
ties he had received a portion of the money,
and that he had directed the rest to be remitted
