CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool this week, have been
`25,0.0 bales, and prices have been at about the previous
range. The market has been well supplied, and the
crop in America will no doubt prove adequate to the wants
of Europe.
For Railway Shares at Liverpool yesterday, the market
was rather quiet, but prices were steady.
The amount of specie in the Bank of England was aug-
mented again last week, but the circulation was diminished.
It is satisfactory to find that the public deposits have further
increased to sonic extent, but the other deposits have
slightly fallen off. The Bank holds a larger amount of Go-
vernment Securities, though it is difficult to say whether this
arises Pram advances to Government upon the funded or
unfunded debt. The other Securities were rather greater
in amount, and it is usually assumed that this item is
affected by the extent of discount business done. The com-
parison with the previous week is as follows :

The London line of packet-ship Devonshire, Captain Mor-
gan, has arrived off Lvinington, from New York, which
port she quitted on the 30th August with a full cargo, and a
fair number of passengers.
The interesting series of wool sales closed last evening, and
during their continuance 37,450 bales were offered. At
the *opening, prices ruled heavy, but subsequently a
rally occurred, and the best class fleeces realised
better values. But for this improvement the prices would
have been very unsatisfactory, the supply being in excess
of the wants of the trade. Foreign wools were held back in
consequence. Australian samples sold at 4d. up to is 10d.,
and 2s; Van Diemen's Land from Gd. to is. 3d., and Is. 6d;
South Australian from 4d. to is.; Cape from 4d. to Is.; and
New Zealand from 7d. to 11d, per lb.
During the present week there have been exported
direct from London about 88,000 ounces of silver and 523
ounces of gold.
The Funds opened firmly to-day, but received a check
when the news from Paris became known. Consuls have
been 86 to 8614 for Transfer, and 8614 /4 for Account. Ex-
chequer-bills of March have realised 335. prem. East India
Stock is at 2351/2.
The only bargains in the Foreign Securities have been in
Equador at 2, in Brazilian Small at 75, and in Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 443 A to 45.
Railway Shares are rather buoyant again, and should the
chairmen of the leading companies come to any decision
upon the subject of endeavouring to restore confidence in
railway property, we may fairly anticipate a much more
decided improvement.

terior committee. The Learned Counsel then proceeded
ta comment upon the conduct of Towel'. They might
take it as a general rule, that when a Government em-
ployed such servants., and found it necessary to pay spies
end area police, that it w;:s a bad one. Powell said that
the men were a parcel of fools, and indeed it was evident
they were, or they would not have admitted him amongst
them. What faith could they put on the evidence of
such a miscreant, who joined these men in the assumed
spirit of friendship and co-operation, who gave
them ammunition and stimulated them to crime,
and who all the time was in communication with
the police ? Would it not have been more be.
coming a beneficent Government to have adopted
the advice of Lord Denman, that it was the duty of the
magistrate to crush crime in the bud, not to foment it,
and have stopped the conspiracy before it earned the title
of one? Would they not have adopted such a course in
their own establishments? Certainly they would.
Powell swore that it was declared at one of the meetings
that the object of the conspiracy was to " destroy the
pa vet- of the Queen, and to establish a republic." They
could not believe him. lie said that this was uttered
at a committee meeting of ten, at which he
had no business to be present. It was not
unlikely that the words had been suggested by the po
lice, under whose tutelage he had been for some time.
A person could not get into more dangerous hands than
those of the police.
Mr. Justice ERLE said, the Learned Counsel had no
right to asperse any body of persons in the way he had.
lie found by experience that those who aspersed the
police were generally accomplices of the parties accused
of offences which the police had brought home to them.
Mr. KENEALY—Does your Lordship Bpi ly that ob-
servation to me?

Mr. Justice ERLE—I speak generally.
Mr. KENEALY went on to say, that Powell being in
the pay of the Government, felt it necessary to exagge-
rate, in order to obtain the conviction of the prisoner.
Doubtless, he would be rewarded with a situation in the
police. If he could deceive people for three months,
notwithstanding they watched him with lynx eyes, was
it not more than probable, that notwithstanding the guise
of honesty put on by him, he might succeed in deceiving
the jury for three hours? He said he had called upon
God by the most solemn asseverations a man could utter
to witness that he was true to them. He swore falsely
then, and he could swear as damnably false here.
He would show, by unimpeachable evidence, that the
prisoner was most loyal, and had often said that the
Queen was one of the best monarchs that ever sat upon
the English throne. The Learned Counsel conclued an
address that lasted for upwards of three hours and a
half, by calling upon the jury to acquit the prisoner,
and thereby read the Government a lesson, and tell them
that the juries of England would not uphold such infa-
mous prosecutions as the present.
The Court then adjourned for a short time.
[The trial is not likely to conclude before a late hour
to-night. We do not anticipate the verdict will be
given this side of eight o'clock.)

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Alderman Sir
JOHN KEY.)
_ ...

Charles Able, a porter in the employ of Sir IL Meux
and Co., was indicted with stealing a kilderkin of stout,
value 265., their property.
The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, and
The jury found him Guilty.
The COURT, on the application of Mr. Clarkson, who
appeared for the prosecution, postponed passing sen-
tence till next session.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
James Wilson, an ex-policeman, formerly in the D and E
divisions, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a
waistcoat and other property in the Junin of Mr. Garrat, of
the Copenhagen Tavern.
It appeared that the prisoner was observed this morning
to come in at the back of the house and go up-stairs. Oa
coming down he was stopped and searched, and the property,
taken from one of the upper apartments, was found upon him.
He was committed for trial.

_
REGISTRATIONS. - (THIS DAY.)

CITY OF LONDON.
Mr. James lligham claimed to have his name inserted in
the list of voters for the parish of St. Olave, Jewry.
It appeared that he occupied an office at 7, Otd Jewry, and
had free ingress and egress at all times, but did not reside
upon the premises. There was only one entrance to the
house, and the landlord, who paid the taxes, had lived there
until within the last three months.
Mr. Sydney Smith supported the claim, and Mr. Brown
held that the claimant had not a proper qualification, the
landlord having resided in the house during the last six
months.
The REvisria BARRISTER disallowed the claim:

THE CHARTIST TRIALS.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
TRIAL OF WILLIAM DOWLING.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
On the Court resuming, the Clerk of the Arraigns
read the several passages contained in the books and
papers found at the prisoner's lodging, and identified by
Mr. Chubb as being in the prisoner's handwriting, and
also a letter from the prisoner, addressed to his sister, in
which the prisoner stated that the police had been en-
deavouring to take him into custody—that before he
engaged in the agitation he had considered the conse-
quences, and had made up his mind to abide them.
Thomas Powell was then called and examined by Mr.
BODKlN—Witness, early in the present sear, became a
member of the Chartist society. It was after the 10th
April that he became such member. He continued to attend
the meetings of the association in the months of June
end July. lie belonged to the Cripplegate district.
There was a council of management, consisting of five
persons, named Laths, Fowler, Carter, Owen Jones, and
himself. Ile had entered under the name of Johnson, and
was known by that name among the Chartists. That
council had the general superintendence of the procet d-
ings of the association. They met at Cartwright's coffee-
house, in Red Cross-street. On the 20th of
July a committee was formed to meet at a
house in Portugal-strect, Lincoln's Inn-fields. That
was called the secret committee. Witness was
..lected by the council to form one of that secret
committee, and in that character be attend. d a meeting
at the Black Jack, Portugal-street, on the 20th of
July. Ft.urt2en persons were present at that meeting,
among whom were Mr. Payne, Mr. Brewster, Mr.
Mullins, the prisoner, a delegate from Greenwich,
and nine others. The prisoner attended as a delegate
from the Irish confederates. Reports were given in of
the feelings of different localities with respect to a phy-
sical-force movement, and a return was also given in by
each delegate of the number of men they could depend
upon, and who were willing to fight.
Mr. KINNEALY objected to the reception of the evi-
dence, but
Mr. Justice ERLE overruled the objection.

The examination of the witness then proceeded—An-
other committee was then appointed for the purpose of
drawing up five plans for action; and Mr. Payne,
Mr. Brewster, Mr. Rose, Mr. Mullins, and
the prisoner, were appointed on that com-
mittee. The meeting commenced at nine o'clock,
and lasted till nearly twelve o'clock, when it was
adjourned to Dennison's coffee-house, Great St. Andrew's-
street, Seven-dials, on the following (Sunday) morning.
When witness attended the meeting at the Black Jack,
he was [requested to produce credentials, which he had
obtained from a Mr. Vezer on their way to the
meeting. Bettis was with them. Vezer, when he gave
witness the credentials, told him they were going to get
up a bloody revolution. Witness attended on the Sun-
day morning at Dennison's coffee-house, and the pri-
sonei, together with Mullins, Rose, Brewster, and others,
were there. The meeting lasted upwards of an
hour, in the course of which Mr. Mullins
took a map of London from his pocket, and laid
it on the table. All the parties had papers, and among
them was another plan of London, including the Seven-
dials. The prisoner told Mullins he thought it would be
difficult for him to take the management of the Seven-
dials. Mr. Payne, who was in the chair, said that their
object was to destroy the power of the Queen and
establish a Republic, and in that sentiment there was a
general acquiescence. There was also some conversa-
tion about assassinating the p01i0.% Mr. Rose said we
must first assassinate the police, burn down the
station-house, and build barricades. That pro-
position appeared to him to be generally well re-
ceived. At the expiration of an hour other persons were
admitted, among whom were Mr. Allnutt and others,
and about three or four delegates from other places.
The witness saw Mr. Mullins put the paper
produced into his pocket, after showing it
to those who were present. Mr. Mullins
then told those who had been last admitted that he was
sorry their plans were not quite matured for their in-
spection. The meeting then adjourned to Mr. Cart-
wright's the same evening. The prisoner was not at
the meeting on the evening of the 26th of July.
Another meeting took place at Hopkinson's coffee-
house in Saffron-hill. The prisoner was present and 17
other persons at that meeting. Among the others pre-
sent was Mr. Fernando, who was a delegate from the
Hackney-road.
By Mr. Justice SALE—Made notes of these meetings
the same night or the next morning.
By Mr. BODKlN—Reports were given in at that meet-
ing from the different localities of the number of men
they could depend upon. At that meeting an advertise-
ment was considered which had appeared in the Northern
Star, calling upon parties to send delegates to the Dis-
patch Coffee-house, Bride-lane. Other meetings took
place—one on the 30th, when the prisoner was present.
A return was made at that meeting of the new dele-
gates of the number of fighting men that could be de-
pended upon. The committee that had met at the
Black Jack resigned in consequence of the charges
brought against Mullins and Ruse of being spies. An
ulterior Committee was then appointed, among whom
were Mr. Mullins, Mr. Rose, and the prisoner.
Nothing was said openly what the ulterior committee
was appointed for. A resolution was passed at the same
meeting that a meeting should take place on the follow-
ing Monday, at Mr. Cartwright's, it necessary, but no
such meeting took place. One, however, took place
on the Tuesday, at the Dispatch coffee-house,
in Bride-lane, at which no less than thirty-four
persons were present, among whom was the
prisoner. Reports were produced from new dele-
gates of the nuraber of the fighting men that could be
depended upon, and a resolution was also passed,
increasing the number of the ulterior committee
to nine. Mr. Vezer, at the meeting on Tuesday,
August 1, gave in his statement, that in his district
there were fifty fighting men. Had often heard of the
Emmett and Thomas Payne brigade. The names of the
four added to the committee were Fay, Thompson,
Lynch, and Donovan. Some person proposed that some
one should be sent to the north to ascertain the
state of feeling; but it was not adopted, as it was
believed that no true intelligence could be ob-
tained, Darling proposed a demonstration in favour
of Chartists and Confederates should take place on
Primrose-hill, on the following Sunday, the 6th, in order
to ascertain their strength, but there was a majority of
five against him. A resolution was then passed that
each delegate should go to his district and learn the state
of feeling in each, and to instruct them, so that they might
be ready for action in an hour, and at the same
to bring as much money as they could collect. Mr.
Mullins reported that he had seen Mr. Kydd that day,
and that he had stated, that if they would come out
with physical force he should not be backward in
heading them, adding, that he entered into the execu-
tive of the Convention as a moral force man. The com-
mittee of my district (Cripplegate) had been in con-
nexion with the Convention. We next met at
Cartwright's coffee-house, on Friday, the 6th of
August; thirty-two were present, the defendant being
one of them. The propriety of wearing a red scarf on
the day of action was discussed that evening. The de.
legates reported as before. A circular received by Mr.
Kydd, asking what the feeling was with respect to send-
ing an emissary to the north, was discussed, and money
was given by Rose to Bassett to send Lacy off to Man •
chester at once. A resolution pledging the members to
submit to the direction of the committee was passed, in
whom a vote of confidence was passed. A resolution was
passed instructing the members to meet their consti-
tuents on the following Sunday at their places of meeting,
and prevent them from going to a meeting announced to
be held at Kennington-common that day, and to tell
them to wait at their meeting places till the delegates
returned from the Dispatch Coffee-house, where they
were all to meet. A resolution was also passed appoint-
ing four men to be stationed between Bride-lane and
Kennington-common to telegraph what was going on.
He (witness) had the appointment of these men, and
could give their names. They met again, the prisoner
being present, at Dennis's coftee-house, at seven o'clock
the next night. The committee of nine resigned in con-
sequence of the reported arrest of Smith O'Brien. Mul-
lins said ho had no confidence in the four new men,
as ho did not know their plans. A resolution was
passed to elect a president, and that he who had the
lowest number of votes should retire to make room fur
him, and that a sum of 3s. 4d. should be levied upon the
Lumbers of each district for his payment ; but nobody
knew who the president was till a letter was read from
Lacy from the north, stating that the might expect a
" good order." They agreed to meet at the Lord
Denman on the 9th. They did so, to the
number of 28, the prisoner being present. Mul-
ins, who acted as vice-chairman, called upon the
members by their allegiance to abide by the declaration
of the committee, and each solemnly declared that they
would, some saying that they were ready to risk their
lives. Payne read a letter from Lacy, saying,that all
was going on well. They adjourned to Perry 's coffee-
, house, Bethnal-green. On the following Friday there was
no meeting because they were told the police bad seized
Rose's papers, and that it was "all up.' The next meet-
ing he attended wes at the Orange Tree, Orange.storeet,

600.
The number of men, Chartists alone, were
stated to be 5,000, by Mullins. It was generally known
what the map and the ammunition were for. Cuffey said
he wanted each delegate to select four or six of his best
men. He was asked what for ? He replied, " For firing
houses, railway premises, trains, or anything." Each
man was asked how many men be could depend upon
to do "anything and everything." Ito (witness)
said he could bring two, and the others named
theirs. A. proposition was made and carried that a de-
putation should wait upon the railway engineers of the
North-Western, who were there at that time, to see if
they Apuld aid them, and Is. 6d. was voted to pay their
expenses. Dowling was not present. The meeting was
adjourned to the Lord Denman, on the 15th, at half-
past seven. About forty attended. The prisoner
was there. Lacy was there, and said " the men
of Birmingham would be up and doing." that night,
adding that he had been watched all day. A distribta
lion of colours was made by Brewster, which were to be
worn on the left arm, in order that the members might
distinguish their members. He (witness) received one.
The committee went to a coffee-house at hand to consult,
all the rooms in the house being occupied. They re-
turned in about three-quarters of an hour. Cuffey said
to Mullins, who acted as chairman, that he had better give
the requisite instructions. Mullins instructed them to
" come out the next night and strike the blow," as Mr.
Lacy had informed them that the meta of Manchester

and itirmingham would be up that night, akd there
no reason to doubt his word. "It is neces,iiry," he
added, " that you must come nut honestly and boldly,
as there must be no flinching in the _ snakier."
Coffey suggested that, the question )Ishould be
put to each, and require him to say " Yes "
or " No." He appealed to all, and they all re-
plied in the affirmative, including myself, with the ex-
ception of Fernando. Another, whose name he did not
know, also declined. Coffey reminded the meeting of
the four positions they were to take up. Clerkenwell
was to be taken by Brewster, the Tower Hamlets by
Payne, and the Seven-dials and Westminster by either
Mullins or Bassett. Somebody inquired how they were
to get their pikes there ? Mullins replied, " The best
way they could ;" adding, " every man must be in hi
respective position, armed, at twenty minutes pust nine
to a second." Ritchie was appointed to superintend the
four men to be selected by each of the df legates to fire
premises, &e. The " Orange Tree was arranged
to be their place of meeting. The pars- words
were to be " Frost and Mitchell," and Justice "
was adopted instead. After some other procesd•
ings, Ritchie said, " May the bitterest curse
of ' God light upon the man that. betrays
The prisoner was there. It Nas arranged on the Tues•
day night that the City, Finsbury, Cripplegate, and
Clerkenwell delegates should meet at the "Crispin," at
twelve o'clock the next.day. He got there ut one o'clock,
and found Brewster and eight or nine there. Brewster
said he intended to try and take the Artillery-ground,
adding they should have to fight hard to
take it. lie said they should know by four o'clock
if the Government had received any intimation
of their proceedings, and that a person who was with
him would wait upon him at Clerkenwell-green when
they were all assembled. He said they must not be
alarmed if they did not see the signal (a bonfire) for
a short while ; half-an-hour might elapse perhaps be-
fore it was seen. Ritchie, Brewster had told them, had
said he would shoot the first man dead that flinched
from his duty.
Cross-examined—Never saw Mr. Dowling at any
of the Chartist meetings he had attended. Believed
him to be a Confederate and not a Chartist. He
might have said, but he could not swear it, that the
Charter was not worth fighting for, and that it might be
peaceably obtained in two years. He should nut have
been surprised if he had heard him say so. He was a
quiet and inoffensive young man. Could not recollect
his saying that the Queen was one of the best sovereigns.
He was induced to join in the proceedings from cu-
riosity, and with the intention of giving information
to the authorities. He certainly found them a rum lot.
—(Laughter.) lie believed them to be capable of doing
anything—of putting a piece of steel in him, if they
thought it necessary. He did not join from pecuniary
motives, but from a desire to serve his country.--(A
laugh.) Commented in the public room after he joined
the body. Should say the body had more than five
pounds. Should say, from beginning to end, that they
had a good deal more than twenty pounds. Worked at
the bench during all the time. Did not make gun-
powder, but cast about fourteen or fifteen dozen bullets,
which he gave to Gurney. He filled up GS cartridges,
which he got from Gurney, and which he (the witness)
had still. He neither gave powder nor bullets to any
man save Gurney. Since these prosecutions had been in-
stituted he had been partly living at the Queen's expense.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he received a pound a
week.

1

Examination resumed—Was not to receive anything if
these persons were convicted. Did not expect anything
except protection. Might have told the men that he was
sick of their talking, and that they did nothing. Never
told the men that they were going too slow, and that
the best thing they could do was to set fire t) London.
I do not believe I ever made use of such an expression.
The only way I stimulated them on was to give Gurney
half a pound of gunpowder. I swear I rover gave gun-
powder or bullets to any one besides. Gurney told me
to get some paper and powder in order to make cart-
ridges. I expected they were to be made by the Queen's
troops and the police, but yet I assisted him to obtain
them. Ido not know whether this was patriotic or not.
I believe they suspected that I was a spy on account of
a certain person with whom I was in communication
being seen to come to my house. The charge was made
against me, but I successfully refuted it, and the person
who made the charge was turned out of the room. I
was elected a delegate by the council. I was proposed
by a stranger, and was at once elected. I do not know
that I ever saw the stranger before, and I have not seen
him since. I did not press myself forward. I was de-
sirous to get into their confidence gradually in order that
I might betray them the more securely. Every delegate
was made acquainted with the pass-word used. Knew
the object for which it was given. I swear I had no
portion of the money that was collected. Mr. Dowling
did not say on one occasion that some of the plans had
been arranged in his absence, and that so far as ho
understood them he disapproved of them. He did re-
sign at ono of the meetings, but he was re-elected. Mul-
lins and Rose were accused of being spies as well as
myself. I always indignantly repudiated the charge of
being a spy. 1 spoke to two men about " firing the
houses and premises, and one of them agreed to do as I
desired, but the other did not appear willing. II thought
I was bound to carry out the resolution of the committee,
that each delegate should engage some men for the pur-
pose of firing houses, or else I should have been ,sus-
pected. I did not consider I was entrapping these two men
into the commission of an offence. I communicated with
a certain party immediately after the first secret commit-
tee meeting was hekl, and my information was no doubt
communicated to the Government. I only once heard
any mention made of a republic, and then the prisoner
was present. Rose spoke about murdering the police.
I had no right to be present at that meeting. I swear
the words "fighting men" were used. A man named
Donovan proposed to send a messenger to Limerick, in
order to obtain a true version of what was going on in
Ireland. When Mullins said, " May the bitterest curse
of God rest upon any man who would betray any of us,"
it was not addressed to me, but I thought a good deal of
it. I have not made so much by being a spy as by car-
pentering.
Sergeant Thompson deposed that he searched the
lodgings of Rose, and found the papers which he pro-
duced. They appeared to be plans of London, ap-
parently marked out in different districts, and a :list of
men whose names were in cypher, supposed to be the
intended leaders of the insurrection, and the number of
men each leader had apportioned to him.
It being now a quarter to seven o'clock, the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had a great many more
witnesses to examine, and although he was not desirous
to fatigue the jury, yet if they did not proceed further
with it, he would not say that it might not be necessary
to have the jury locked up all Sunday.
Mr. Justice Eau: asked the jury whether they would
adjourn at once till the morning, or whether they would
adjourn for a short time, and take some refreshment, and
go on further with the case?—The jury agreed to sit
later, as suggested, and the Court adjourned for twenty
minutes, when the trial proceeded.
Charles Tildren deposed that he was a member of the
Chartist body, and attached to the St. James's Club.
Cutfey was their class leader, and he heard him give
orders about cartridges to fire upon the peoples and in
June he heard Cuffey say that the time would soon
come. Witness told him he had no gun, and he replied
that he would break into the gunsmiths and get arms.
The witness spoke to other conversations with Cuffey
on the same subject, and he also saw a pike at
Cuifey's lodging, which he wished him to sharpen,
but he refused to do so. On another occasion his saw
him in the act of casting bullets from old type. Witness
told him he knew a person who had prepared some ginger-
beer bottles filled with rough pieces of broken iron and
powder, and Cuffey said they were very good, and would
do for the Chartist's wives to cast from the windows on
the police, whilst their husbands were fighting with
them in the streets.

This witness was cross-examined at some length, but

were then examined, and their evidence went to show
the circumstances attending the apprehension of the dif-
ferent parties. At the Orange Tree eleven were taken,
many of them armed with pistols and pikes, and
formidable bludgeons loaded with lead. Daggura and
tow-balls were also found in the rooms where they were
apprehended, and at their lodgings upon a subsequent
search a vast quantity of gunpowder, ball-cartridges for
pistols and guns, pikes, pike heads, and combustible ma-
terials were also discovered, comprising enough to fill
several largo boxes, which were produced by the police.
Some of the tow-balls had since been examined, and
were found to contain gunpowder and broken iron and
glass.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL intimated that this was the
case for the prosecution.
The Court adjourned at ten minutes after teno'clock,
the jury retiring to the London Coffee-house, in charge
of an officer.

THE CnoLEria.—Extract from a private letter
dated Hamburgh, Sept. 19 :—" About the cholera you need
not be fearful. It sounds much worse than it is, and the
newspapers make a great deal of it. People who eat plums
and no solid food have had it, but considerably more than
half of those who have caught the disease have recovered,
ant it is now gone or going, for since last Friday I am told
there has not been a single case."

a still greater number are making preparations to follow
