A„
Lusts NAYUR/13.--A WNW-ANT LAWYER.--tienry
Jones, a man having the. appearance of a saint rather
than a sinner, was indicted with stealing on the 3d of
the present month eight sovereigns, the property of a
young and green limb of the law, delighting in the name
of Thomas Barker Hill.
From the statements of the prosecutor, who appears
to have more money than sense, it appeared ithat he
was a solicitor, carrying on his profession at Manchester,
that three days previous to that -named in the indict-
ment, he arrived in London, and that on the day in
question, he entered into conversation with a perfect
stranger, when in the neighbourhood of the Royal Ex-
change. In the course of th at con versation he stated that he
was going to Oxford-street. The stranger said he was going
in the same direction, after calling in the Borough, and
the result was that they both went in the direction of
London-bridge together. In the course of their walk
they called at a public-house called the Crown, and
there had something to drink, and ultimately they arrived
at the Yorkshire Stingo at Paddington. Here they met
with an old man and the prisoner, who appeared to be
entire strangers to the new-made friend and pilot of the
prosecutor. Some refreshments having been called for,
and the roar having made themselves comfortable and
acquainted with each other; it was proposed that they
should have a hand at cards, but some demur having been
made as to some of them having money enough, the
quondam friend of the prosecutor produced a purse,
containing a large quantity of what appeared to be
sovereigns, and the old gentleman exhibited his pocket-
book, which displayed a goodly array, doubtless
of flash, but what appeared to the prosecutor good
Bank-notes. Determined not to be outdone on
the keeping up a respectable appearance, the prose-
cutor produced his purse, evidently the most valuable in
the room, although it only contained six sovereigns and
about ten shillings in silver. Thus equipped the cards
were introduced, the prosecutor declined playing, he ob-
jected even to touch them, but he felt no disinclination
to pursue the more gentlemanly occupation of looking
on and betting on the game. This turned out a most
unprofitable speculation, sovereign after sovereign de-
parted from the purse of 'din prosecutor, until at
last, being reduced to his last shilling, he was
offered the loan of a pound from the feeling friend he
had met with in the neighbourhood of the Royal Ex-
change. This went too, and upon his stating that he
had no means of returning it, he was gently reminded
that he had a watch in his pocket and a chain about his
neck, which would soon set all right, if he would only
allow it to adorn the strong room belonging to his uncle.
Green as ever, notwithstanding his losses, he allowed
himself to be led like a lamb, to the slaughter, accom-
panied by his friend of the Royal Exchange, to a pawn-
broker's hard by, where he exchanged his geld watch
and appendages for eight sovereigns. These he placed
in the pocket of his great coat, and returned to the
Yorkshire Stingo, his old friend only accompanying him to
the door, where ho bid him a final adieu. On going into
the tavern he found the prisoner and the old man still
there. He took off his great-coat, hung it on a chair,
and left in the room for a short time. On his return he
found the prisoner and the old man gone, his coat still
hanging on the chair, but the money in its pockets had
departed. The prosecutor gave information of the rob-
bery and the prisoner was taken, but the other two de,
linquents were no where to be found.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and
The CO➢IDION SERGEANT sentenced him to one years'
imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Cor-

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Alfred Brooks, errand boy to Joseph Dean, tailor, No.
1, Leicester-square, was charged with robbing hii master,
and Sarah Brooks, his mother, with receiving the goods,
knowing them to be stolen.
William Hall, in the employ of Joseph Dean, said
that for some time the boy had been suspected of robbing
the shop ; they were, therefore, on the watch. Last
night, about a quarter-past nine o'clock, he missed a
satin waistcoat piece. The boy was gone. He went out
after him, and found the police-constables that were in
waiting for him standing opposite to a public-house
door in St. Martin's-lane. Witness went into this house,
and called the boy out, and had him taken back to his
master's shop, where he was searched, and the waistcoat
piece was found on him.
Police-constable Jeaps, 146 C, had been watching the
boy, and last night he followed him along Leicester-
square to Bear-street, where he met his mother, and
both went into a public-house in St. Martin's-lane.
Police-constable Connor, 158 C, searched the mother's
house, and found a piece of plUsh. While engaged in
this the mother threw a number of duplicates into the
fire. He was able to save but one of them, but the rem-
nant of that showed that a piece of satin had been
pledged with Hartland, a palinbroker in Lambeth. He
searched her boxes, and she pulled out a drawer which
contained several more duplicates, some of which were
for pieces of satin, plush, and satin waistcoat pieces,
pledged in the name of Mary Smith, some in the name
of John Smith. In her box he found a remnant of silk.
The witness Hall swore to the remnant of silk being
the property of his master.
The prisoners made no defence:
Mr. Lori° remanded the case to Tuesday next.
John Thompson was charged with attempting to steal
a coat and a pair of trousers from the shop of Orlando
Latrielle, 53, South Molton-street. It appears that he
came to the shop this morning inquiring for work, and
as he walked in he drew down a pair of trousers off a
brass rod at the door, and was in the act of handing
them from behind him to a man who stood close by the
door. He had also drawn a coat which lay on the
counter towards the door, when Mr. Latrielle's foreman
collared him, and gave him into custody.
The prisoner said nothing to the charge.
Mr. LONG committed him for_lrial at the Middlesex
sessions.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, STATE OF TRADE.
Nov. 27.—Buyers
generally have exhibited a good deal of caution in their
purchases during the past fortnight, evidently from a
desire to learn the result of the pending London sales,
before operating to auy extent.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, NOV. 27.—There
has not been any variation in the sales of English
combing or clothing wools daring the present week, and
prices remain •about last week's quotations.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—Nov. 27.—The state
of the wool market is quite stationary; the sales are ex-
ceedingly limited, but the impossibility of buying from
the ground to meet the rates here causes the arrivals
to be still more limited; and late quotations are sup-
ported.
LEEDS.—There was scarcely anything doing at the
Cloth Balls except assorting to positive orders, either
on Saturday or Tuesday. The trade is as usual at this
period, falling off as respects the home demand, and
there is yet but little doing in market goods for ship-
ping. The same dull state of business obtains in the
warehouses; after Martinmas few buyers visit market,
and with the exception of a few orders, which are in
course of execution for the American spring trade, and
for the eastern market, the foreign houses are doing
very little.

BRADFORD MARRET, THURSDAY..--There is a better
demand for wool than last week, but still the demand is
an extremely dull one, even for the season. The supply
of wool is fully an average one. Prices, to the surprise
of every one in Bradford, do not give way. Clothing
wools are not in good sale. For home consumption the
demand for yarn is as usual at this season; but as little
is done in the export way, the trade is dull, and many
spinners are further curtailing their production. No
variation in price. For heavy piece goods there is con-
siderable inquiry. The manufacturers are in better
hopes, in expectation of a good American spring trade,
of which there are some indications. The manufacturers
are very low in stock.
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY Mourallo.—We have had a
most gloomy trade in cloth this week, and which since
Tuesday has in no ways improved ; :perhaps a duller
market than that of Thursday has seldom been expe-
rienced, nor is there any prospect of things improving.
The dyers are exceedingly dull this week; a bad sign
this of the home trade. Yarns are very heavy, and the
buyer has a further advantage.
BARNSLEY.—The linen trade during the last fortnight
has been rather better than for Some months previous.
The drill houses are at present well employed, and a
few of the plain goods warehouses have experienced a
slight improvement, so that there is a much better pro-
spect for the winter than was presented a month ago.
NOTTINGIIAM.—Th.e condition of the cotton hosiery
trade in any of its branches, whether wrought, cut-up,
or fancy stockings, has not mended ; at present scarcely
any English made cotton hose are consumed in France,
Spain, or Austria, these being rigorously and effectually
prohibited. The drawer and pantaloon branch too is
extremely dull. The silk glove trade is in much the
same state. The lace trade, both bobbin and warp, con-
tinues in a very depressed state. In despite of this,
machines still keep up in price, and what is more sur-
prising, since the repeal of the law against the exporta-
tion of machinery, not more than from six to eight lace
machines have been shipped from Great Britain; France
in raising the duty from 15 to 35 per cent having so far
encouraged smiths, that they make their own machines.
Some of the Nottingham smiths have two establishments.

on the 15th inst. It appears, from the Bristol Times,

two months
ago. While there, and about six weeks since, be was
his that

n one morning playing with a little favourite dog when
the latter bit his lip. The bite was rather a severe one,
and Mr. Coney felt uneasy and nervous about it, and, by
Coney
haldre just
the advice of his friends, applied to the Horse Guards
for leave of absence, which, after some delay, was
granted him, and on Friday week he returned home.
While on his way back, and at Gloucester, he was first
seized with a paroxysm. He dined heartily, and had
then a cup of coffee, which, however, he had only just
taken when a violent fit came on. After a short remis-
sion the paroxysms returned with terrible force, and
continued, with a few composed intervals, until Sunday
morning, when they terminated his extreme agony. He
was attended by the most eminent medical men from
Bristol, but skill, science, and medicine were all
perfectly impotent against the mysterious and awful
malady.

HAYIBUIIGH MAIL:
JIIIESLAW, Nov. 20.—1 n consequence; of events at
Cracow, a deputation from this place is to go on Of.
22d to Berlin. It is composed of several of our principal
merchants, and we hope that they will succeed in pre-
venting the ruin of the Silesian trade with Cracow,
which is very important.
THE RHINE, Nov. 18.—Respecting the incorporation
of the republic of Cracow with Austria as a circle of Ga-
licia, an offensive and defensive • alliance has been con-
cluded between the three 'protecting powers.
It may be affirmed that Russia chiefly insisted on the
incorporation. Prussia afterwards acceded to this
view. If such an event were to take place, the re-
public of Cracow could hardly have been ceded •
to any power but Austria, which possessed it till
1809, and gave up the idea -of re-occupying it after
1813, because it was a favourite project of Alexander
to form a state in the centre of the ancient kiigdom of
Poland, with which the appearance of the independence
of Poland was connected. Perhaps Alexander had
greater sincerity in this step than was afterwards at-
tributed to it. Facts and events have opposed the rea-
lisation of- his views.
VIENNA, Nov. 18.—Yeaterday afternoon a report was
spread on 'Change that the English and French Arnba.s
sadors at this Court had pr,tested against the incorpo
ration of Cracow with Austria. But it is evtdcnt that
this must be a false report. Princi, MOternicit has, in-
deed, communicated this (fait accomp!is), for the pro-
clamation to,ik place in Cracow the day before yester-
day to the diplomatic body, but tl:e formal declarati, n
will not be made till a few days hence. A protest
cannot lave-been made, for Lord Pon,qmby sent an ex-
traordinary English courier to London only the-day
before yesterday, and who will probably return with
Lord Palmerston's answer.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 17. General Count I3jornstjerna
is not recalled from his post as ambassador in L'a.don,
as has been stated, but obtained on the 27th of Augut,
leave of absence for three months, beginning on the Ist
of October this year, and he is now here. Meantime
his place is filled by Baron Rdiausen. Count Bjorst•
jerna's son, who was lieutenant in the body-guard,
had lately the misfortune to be run over, and was dan-
gerously hurt, for which reason a prize which he had
gained in the military academy, has been handed by his
Majesty to his father.
NVinter has at length began here. The day before
yesterday all the streets were covered with snow, which,
though thin still remains. We lately heard among
ether places, from Linkoping and Calmer, that the wea-
ther was so warm that the rye was beginning to form
the ear, fur which reason they were beginning to cut it.
This will not now be necessary.
VIENNA, Nov. 20. The latest Austrian Observer
contains a very long article (19 columns) on the recent
history of the republic of Cracow, for the explanation
and justification of the incorporation which has taken
place. We find in it a series of statements, as results of
the several political investigations, which have been
occasioned by the movements in Poland since 1830.
We extract the following passages respecting the relation
to the other protecting Powers :

which,
united into one mass, had formed the

things, negociations were entered into by the three
Cabinets of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, the result of
territory
which was, the establishment of the present kingdom of
Poland and the other incorporations concerning these
territories ; among these was the establishment of the
republic of Cracow. The three Courts inserted the
regulations that had been made in the treaties of the
21st of April (13th of June, 1815), and the other
Powers which had signed the act of the Vienna
Congress confined themselves to aeceptinc, this reso-
lution, as a result of the direct negociation'between the
three Courts, without interfering in the regulation of the
territorial relations therein stipulated, with which they
had nothing to do. Cracow, therefore, was from the
year 1815, a municipal town, subject only to the pro-
tection of the three powers, and was connected with the
rest of Europe, merely through the mediation of its
protectors.

MERCANTILE ALiIIANAC AND BRITISH
TARIFF FOR 1847.
It-has long been a matter of surprise, that whilst
almost every special mercantile and trading interest
has its own especial almanac and year-book of
reference, there has hitherto been no publication of
this nature, which furnishes that particular species of
information which will be found useful to the mercan-
tile world generally. This want is, however, well
supplied by the publication of the " Mercantile.
Almanac," the first number of which is now before
us, and which, in addition to the usual contents of an
almanac, gives us the British and American tariffs ;
extracts from the Navigation and Customs Laws ;
forms of Custom-house entries, inwards and outwards;
and, in fact, every species of information that can by
possibility be useful to the merchant in the conduct
of his business. It is clearly printed and admirably
arranged, and will henceforth be the merchant's vade
mecum.

DESPERATE AFFRAY WLTH POACHERS.--Soon after
midnight on the 17th inst. a desperate affray took place
in the preserves of T. W. Beaumont, Esq., of Bretton
Hall, near Barnsley, between the poachers and the
watchers. There were six of the former, and four of
the latter. The poachers were shooting pheasants in
lloyland•bank Wood, when the keepers, William and
Frederick Hodgson and Moses Trout, came up to them.
A desperate fight ensued. The poachers attacked the
watchers with their guns, until these weapons were
broken to pieces. Severe injuries were inflicted on both
sides. The watchers, who appear to have acted with
determined resolution, succeeded in capturing four of
the poachers, as well as one gun, two gun stocks, one
gun barrel, three pheasants, and a powder flask. On
Friday the offenders were brought up before a full bench
of magistrates at Barnsley; and, after undergoing an
examination, they were committed to York Castle to
take their trial at the ensuing assizes. Their names are
John Hargreaves, Joshua Bedford, John Smith, and
Daniel Harrison, all from Clayton West—Doncaster
Gazette.

A SENSIBLE LANDLORD.—One of the first acts of

the new Earl of Yarborough is indicative of a wise and
successful career in the management of the vast estates
which have come into his possession. He has given his
tenantry at Cadney with Howsham and Newstead full
and permanent permission to kill game on their several
farms, with no other restriction than that of keeping out
of the woods and covers which are not in their posses-
sion. The contiguous estate of his Lordship in that
parish, &c., amounts to about 4,500 acres, upon which
the game has been very carefully preserved for nearly
twelve years. You may drive twenty miles in nearly a
straight line over the contiguous Lincolnshire estates of
the earldom. Tha business habits which the present
Earl has acquired during his long, efficient, and laborious
representation of the county in the Lower House, and
his constant communication and association with his
tenantry and constituents, together with his well-known
Liberal principles, eminently qualify him for becoming
one of the most popular and useful landlords in the
kingdom. His revenues would not suffer by an exten-
sion of the- above leave to destroy game.—Doncaster
Gazette.

WEYMOUTH.—The sea was very rough on Friday
morning, and the wind setting in towards the bay, the
waves were carried against the Esplanade with great
violenee, the spray being dashed as high into the air as
the houses on the opposite side of the road. Besides
damaging the works of repair which were in progress,
the sea made several breaches on the Esplanade, and
forced up the public road, the water and gas pipes being
laid bare. The pitching and piles in front of the ice-
house at the end of Greenhill, as well as the seawall and
funcing, were all washed away. Immense quantities of
the beach have been carried over the turnpike-road, and
great portiuns of the cliff have been brought down by
the violent action of the sea. Fortunately the wind
changed with the receding tide, and veered to W., or the
consequences must have been much more alarming.—
Sherborne Journal.

MILITARY EXECUTION IN 'SPAlN.—Captain Do-
mingo Martin, of the Regiment of Estremadura, who
assaulted his colonel, has been condemned to death, and
was shot on the 17th at Valencia. He entreated to be
allowed to give the platoon the word to fire upon him.
On coming to the place of execution he delivered an ad-
dress to the soldiers, saying—" Be faithful to our
Queen; be firm and courageous in battle, and be patient
in fulfilling your duties. Never allow your passion
to carry you so far as to commit the crime for which I
am about to suffer. I shall pray to the Almighty to
grant that none of my companions may ever follow
my fatal example." He then embraced the priests
who attended him, and gave to the lieutenant who com-
manded the platoon an ounce of gold, to be distributed
among his men, whom he desired to fire at his head and
his heart, that he might die instantaneously. In a few
moments more he gave the word, and dropped a corpse.
By his will he left 2,000 reels to a charitable institution,
1,000 to the poor, 4,000 to his orderly soldier, that he
might procure a substitute, and also his uniform accou-
trements, arms, wardrobe, and other effects ; the whole
of the arreas of his pay to the corporals and privates of
his company, and 160 reels to be divided between the
men who bore him to his .rave.
STATE OF TRADE.--LANCASHIRE, Nov. 26.
The demand for cotton goods at Blackburn is limited,
and manufacturers are obtaining scarcely any profits,
but, in many instances, some descriptions of manufac-
tured goods are sold at less than prime cost. The yarn
market is very dull, stocks continue to augment, and
prices, in some instances, are rather lower. The calico
tvgiven notice
severalence
block printing at Accrington, Church Parish, and Colne, is
very dull, and operatives have not half emplo% ment.
The trade in the cotton mills at Oldham, Royton, Shaw,
work-
ing full time again on Monday next. The batting
branch at Stockport, Hyde, and Oldham is un-
is
usually flat, and many hat-body makers are totally
occu-
piersac d
vicinities
o
ha r e better, and this w
to
destitute of work. The woollen cloth trade at Sad-
dleworth is dull at present. The flannel and coarse
woollen trades at Bury, Rochdale, Bacup, and vici-
nities is not brisk. The operatives in the same
districts employed in cotton mills, are principally work-
ing full time, but manufacturers make loud complaints
of the smallness of profits. The silk smallware trade at
Manchester and the neighbourhood is exceedingly flat,
and at many mills hands are only partially employed.
The operatives employed in the cotton and worsted small-
wares, at most places, are working short time. Cotton
hand• loom weavers in the towns ten or fifteen miles
round Manchester are in wretched circumstances; most
of them are only par Cally employed, at a very low rate
of wages.—
The Hat Trade.—We are sorry to have to
announce -that the hat, trade of Denton is in a most de-
pressed state. Very little is doing in either leits or silks,
and a majority, of the inhabitants, who are entirely de-
pendent upon the hating business, are consequently in
the greatest distress—in tact, a great many are receiving
relief as paupers.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Noe. 27.

A PASSION FOR PICTURES.—BIOUNTAIN V. WILLMOTT.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. CROWDER, Q.C., addressed the Court at some
length in behalf of the defendant. He said, notwith-
standing the evidence that had been adduced, he was jus-
tified in characterising the claiin set up by the plaintiff
as fraudulent. If it was a just claim, was it likely that
the plaintiff would have allowed so many years to elapse,
during which he was in very poor circumstances,
before making any demand, save for the 171.,
which was paid ? He made no demand for the
amount he now claimed until January last. Assuming
that the pictures had been supplied, what evidence had
been given to show their value, or that they had all been
supplied ? The plaintiff did not pretend to make any
claim beyond six months previous to the death of Knight,
but he should produce evidence to show that all the pic-
tures spoken to were in his possession for more than six
months before his death, thus proving, by the evidence of
the plaintiff, that they must have been paid for. The
inference to be drawn from the whole of the matter was,
that the legacy of 100/. was intended by Knight to cover
the whole of his claim. It appeared that the plaintiff was
rather employed in the capacity of an agent to go about
and purchase pictures, and for which he was supplied with
money, than as a seller. In applying for the 100/. legacy, in
July, 1843, through Mr. Johnstone, his attorney, no
mention was made of what the plaintiff wished the jury
to believe was a bona fide debt, and in a letter subse-
quently written, he sought leave to take into his possession
pictures belonging to the deceased, at Jones's sale-rooms, of
the value of 171, which he wished to be deducted from the
legacy, not from the 1871., as might be inferred. Was it
not more probable that the claim was a fictitious one,
trumped up after his application for the legacy had
proved ineffectual ?
Mr. Linton deposed to the plaintiff informing him
that Mr. Knight had had some pictures from him for
approval, and that he had not had them returned to him.
A person named Davy proved that the plaintiff pur-
chased pictures for Knight, and that he was not
in a condition to give credit for even /. 5
He was imprisoned for six months with the plaintiffon a
conviction for manslaughter, but he (witness) was inno-
cent, as he held Mountain back in order to save a fellow-
creature's life, but the Jews finding he would not give
evidence against Mountain, they swore falsely against
him.

Alfred Moore proved that the plaintiff told Mr. Gill-
ham that his bill had been settled, that he had no
further claims whatever, and that he thanked him for
the facilities he had afforded him to obtain its settle-
ment.

Mr. CROWDER having replied.
Mr. Justice ERLE summed up, and the jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff for 1001.
Mr. CROWDER applied to the Court for leave to the
defendant to enter a nonsuit on account of a technical
mistake in the declaration.

Mr. Justice ERLE said he would consider the appli-
cation. ..

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 27.
WEEKS V. ARGENT.
This was an action to recover 120/. on a promissory
note.

The defendant was formerly the proprietor of the Rain-
bow Tavern, Fleet-street. A person of the name of
Clarke was waiter at the tavern. During the time of
his living with the defendant money transactions took
place between them to the extent of three or four thcu-
sand pounds. In the course of these transactions,
defendant gave the plaintiff an acceptance for two
hundred pounds, which was dishonoured, and on which
judgment was obtained. In the mean time the defen-
dant became bankrupt. Upon the morning of his final
examination, the solicitor to Clarke waited upon and in-
formed defendant, that unless some arrangement was
come to with reference to his claim he would oppose the
granting of his certificate. In consequence of this
threat, two promissory notes of 1201. each were handed
over by the defendant to Clarke or his agent. Of these
notes one was at twelve months, the other at twenty-
four. It was upon the first of these that the present
action was brought. By an Act passed during the pre-
sent reign it was enacted, that if any bankrupt should
give any promissory note or other security to prevent
any creditor fromopposing his final examination or ob-
taining his certificate, such notes or security were to be
considered as null and void. It was under the provisions
•of this Act that the defendant set up the plea to the
present action.
• Mr. .10NTAGUE CHAMBERS, having stated the above
facts, proceeded to call witnesses in support thereof.
Mr. CHARNOCK then called Mr. Valiance? the attor-
ney of Clarke, who conducted the arrangement above
referred to, and in the course of his examination asked
him several questions, which he objected to answer un-
less desired to do so by the Learned Baron, on the
ground of the communications that he had with the
parties being privileged.
