CASE OF MARY ANN KEATES.—It will be recollected
that a few days ago a young woman, who gave her name
Mary Ann Keates, was brought before Mr. Combe, by
police-constable 58, division, charged with begging,
when she denied having begged for money, b,ut broken
victuals, and stated, with tears in her eyes, that her hus-
band and three children were at home in a kitchen, at
No. 8, Portpool-lane, Gray's Inn-lane, in a state of star-
vation, and that, on the day before, she had been obliged
to pledge her husband's coat for 6d. for the purpose of pro-
curing food. On a visit being paid at her residence,
the man whom she then described as being her
husband was found in the kitchen without his
coat, with three fine children, the eldest a bov
of seven years of age, the other two, two and three
years of age, were crawling on the floor, crying. The
place was destitute of either furniture or food, and they
were evidently in a most deplorable condition. Their
case having been fully reported in
,the Newspapers,
charitable persons have visited, their residence and given
them money, clothes, and food ; and on the day subse-
quent to the case appearing in the Newspapers, Mr.
Combe received an anonymous letter containing a Si.
note, and other sums, for the relief of the family, which
he handed over to them ; and he has since received other
moneys for them, which he retained until the result of
the investigation was made known, and, we regret to add,
that it turned out unfavourable. That investigation has
taken place, and we have now to add that they turn out
to be practised impostors ; and Mr. Combe, in discharg-
ing them, refused to hand over to them the remainder of
the money in his hands, but said lie should retain. it for
those who sent it him.

The only portion of Cranborre lod,re (in which the
accouchement of the lamented Princess Charlotte took
place) now remaining is the tower, occupied by one of
the park-keepers.
A brick wall twelve feet high, and nearly 2,000 yards
in length, to extend completely round the.-gardens, has
just been contracted by the Woods and Forests, to be
erected by Mr. Chadwick (the well-known extensive rail-
road contractor), of the best stock bricks, and to have a
feather-edge York coping, with four cart entrances.
A handsome terrace, with a wall in front, 800 feet
long, will be constructed within the gardens (for the
promenade of the Royal Family), extending nearly the
length of one side, with several flights of stone steps
leading from the gardens.
The entrance-lodge for the porter will be built of the
best gauged red bricks, in the Elizabethan style of archi-
tecture, through the gates of which will be the principal
communication with the mansion. .

A gravelled road will be made from Frogmore-house
to the gardens, for the accommodation of her Majesty
to proceed to the terrace and gardens, each side of which
will be planted with flowers, shrubs, and evergreens.
A high oak fence has been contracted to he built, up-
wards of 1,000 yards in length, by Mr. Marshall, of
Godalming; and the old h2undary wall, to the extent of
900 feet in length, abuttibg on the high-road leading
from Frogmore to Old Windsor, is to be considerably
heightened.
The beautiful conservatory in the Great Park-, erected
by George IV. at the Cottage, is to be taken down, and
placed in the new gardens.
The contract at present entered into will amount to
about 11,0001. or 12,0001. The final completion of the
various alterations and improvements will cost about
20,0001.

Extensive repairs and embellishments will immediately
be proceeded with in the interior of the mansion, to ren-
der it fitting for the occupation of her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Kent, and for the occasional visits of her
Majesty, which will be frequent from its contiguity to
the 'Castle.

During the lifetime of Queen Charlotte Frogmore-
lodge was used by her Majesty as a nursery for the
younger branches of the Royal Family, and there is
little doubt that a portion of the house is intended to be
appropriated by her present Majesty to a similar pur-
pose, under the inspection of her Majesty's illustrious
parent, the Duchess of Kent.

TO NON-ELECTORS.
HOW TO GAIN A VOTE, AND USE IT WITH-
OUT INTIMIDATION.
Every Reformer who is excluded from the list of
voters, and does not possess the necessary qualifications
to get his name on the register, may as effectually contri-
bute to the return of a Reform Candidate as if he bad a
vote for himself, and that vote was protected from inti-
midation by the ballot, if he will examine the list of
voters, which may be seen at the house of any overseer
at all reasonable hours, any day before the 15th of
August, and make a note of the name and address of
any Tory that appears on the resister and is nt
every way qualified. He should immediately forward
the information, with ground of objection, to some active
Reformer or Registration Committee, who will object to
him ; and if he is unable to prove himself qualified, will
be excluded from the register, the onus of proof lyincr
entirely with the person objected to.
Thus the Tory vote struck off will be one gained to
the cause of Reform, and given as secretly, if not more
so, than a vote given by the informant under the protec-
tion of the ballot.
Surely the thousands in the metropolis excluded from
the franchise, and those who have been compelled to
sacrifice their consciences, and submit to the most shame-
ful as well as shameless intimidation,, will avenge them-
selves upon their intimidators, and thus regain the vote
their private interest compelled them to give nahist
their own honest conviction.

GREAT CONTEST FOR THE SILVER SCULLS.
The holder of this valuable prize, Mr. Jenkins, on
Tuesday maintained his right to retain them in one of the
hardest contests of the present season. There are two
floating prizes to denote the amateur championship (with
sculls) of the Thames—the Cambridge and the Wing-
field sculls. The former were given as the symbol of
championship by Mr. Colquhoun ; the latter, of much
longer standing, by the gentleman whose name they bear.
Both are what are termed floating prizes, the winner of
one year retaining the honorary distinction until the sue.,
ceeding season, when it is incumbent on him either to
resign the sculls or again take his chance of being the
victor ; but, in order that he should not be pressed by
numbers, and that his superiority might in some mea-
sure be manifest, the conditions of the wager specify
that all the challengers should contend on one day, and
the winner amongst this party, with.the then holder or
possessor of the prize, on another. In 1839 Mr. Chap-
man received the sculls of Mr. Wood, many years well
known as a leading member of the Leander Club • and
in the following year (last season) Mr. Jenkins deeated
Mr. Crockford, Mr. Hernshaw, and Mr. 'Wallace, who
all sought the enviable distinction of champion scul-
lers. Mr. Chapman was, at that period, in ill-
health, and Air. Jenkins, as a matter of course,
on the former gentleman declining from the reason
above assigned, took undisputed possession of the badge
of victory. He held. them until yesterday, and, by dint
of first4ate stamina and game. holds them still. Mr.
Chapman was resolved to regain that which he had by
indispositieti been forced to resign, and he went into
training a week ago with that object. Mr. Jenkins
trainad too, but iii a different way. It will be found, on
reference to_our list of the greaaLeander and. Cambridge
-iiiittelia-that he Was 'one of the winning crew, and out
daily in the boat practising for that Match with an oar.
Betting was five to four in favour of Mr. Jenkins, and
amongst the aquatic clubs a great deal .of sporting
interest was excited. At a quarter past six yester-
day t'vening Mr. Lewis took his station in the cutter
as umpire, and immediately afterwards the two aspirants
drew tolVestminster-bridge, Mr.. Chapman taking the
best position. The start was beautiful—they were away
together and scull and scull by the new Houses of Par-
liament. Mr. Chapman here made a fine spurt (as the
act of picking up a boat very quickly is termed) and
drew the head of his boat a foot in advance of the other.
Mr. Jenkins lay'down well to his work, and was again
level. On passing Lambeth Palace Mr. Jenkins showed
a slightlead, and in rounding the point off the Peniten-
tiary, both at first-rate speed, he increased his advantage
slightly, dashing through Vauxhall• bridge a length and
a half ahead. The severity of the match continued all
the way up, and at Battersea-bridge Mr. Jenkins was
three lengths ahead. He continued to improve the ad-
vantage, although closely pressed by his opponent, and
won by about half a minute. Both rowed beautifully.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)

MANCIZESTER.—There was some demand for yarn
yesterday for Russian account ; but the general absence
of ingeiry, from other quarters rendered the market ex-
ceedingly heavy, and the prices of the current numbers
were generally about one-eighth of a penny per pound
lower than on the preceding Tuesday. The demand
for manufactured goods was quite as limited as before,
and prices continue to droop. Under these cir-
cumstances, it is not surprising that the atten-
tion of the spinners and manufacturers should be
directed to an abridgment of the hours of labour.
We understand that at Blackburn a general agreement
has been made to work only four days per week ; and a
similar agreement is talked of amongst the spinners and
manufadturers in the neighbourhood of Ashton and
Stalybridge ; but we believe nothing has yet been de-
cided upon respecting it.
We are glad to be enabled to state, that no further
failures of importance have taken place in this
town ; and the rumours which have been preva-
lent for some days past, of the stoppage of a
house of very extensive business at Liverpool, are •
altogether unfounded. We believe they had their
origin in a misunderstanding as to providing for the pay-
ment of bills of exchange to a large amount which fell
due last week ; but the mistake was rectified in time,
and the bills were paid in due Course.
'We are informed that a statement which we
lately received from a Correspondent at Stockport,
to i„l}e effect that the business of Messrs. Stocks and Son
was likely to be carried on for the benefit of the credi-
tors, was incorrect. The works have been in operation
since the bankruptcy, but only for the purpose cf using
up the materials then upon the premises; and when those
are exhausted; the hands will all he discharged.
RocnnALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 9.
The market to-day has shown some improveinent upon
that of last week. Indeed we have not had so brisk a
demand for flannels since this year came in as there has
been to-day, and the manufacturers have obtained a
little advance in price. In the wool market there has
not been much alteration ; the dealers have asked higher
prices, but have taken those of last week.
lIUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, AUGUST 10.
There Was not quite so much business done to-day as
last week ; but still a fair quantity of goods exchanged
hands, especially in low Tweeds and coarse fancy wool-
lens, chiefly for exportation. The demand for super-
fines and light fancy goods was rather flat. Prices,
however, are firm, with a tendency upwards. In wools
there was not much done, the manufacturers not feel-
ing disposed to give the advance demanded. Employ-
ment is, on the whole, better here then in most manu-
facturing districts. Business in the warehouses is not
much to complain of, if better prices could be realised.
