LAW INTELLIGENCE
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, October 17,
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
BEAN V. JOHNSTON.

This was an adjourned summons under the &mak,
Debts Act. The plaintiff, it will be remembered, is the
landlord of tke Greyhound Inn, at Croydon. and the de-
f uzend
affairsa .

wthe
(the particulars of which were reported in The Sun
of Saturday last). The defendant had contracted a debt
of between 121. and 13/., but refused to pay, and a ver-
dict was recovered against her. The case was adjourned
in order that the plaintiff might adduce evidence to show
that the defendant possessed means to pay.
At the request of the defendant, summonses were also
granted against two gentlemen to attend.
Mr. Bean said that he was labouring under a great
difficulty to show she could pay the debt. He under-
stood from the defendant's offer, on the last examination,
to hand over documents to show that she was entitled to
property, that the defenaant meant to make out some-
thing was coming to her, out of which alone she could
pay the debt, and therefore that defendant ought to make
out her case.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said Mr. Bean must show
that the defendant was in a condition to pay.
Miss Johnston called Mr. Warutord, a solicitor.
Mr. Harrison, Mr. Warnford's managing clerk, said
that he attended to produce a deed. Mr. Warnford was
at the Judge's chambers, but would attnid in a short
time, and regretted he could not do so at the moment.
Mr. Hilling, a solicitor, appeared on behalf of Mr.
Dudley, a relative of the defendant, and who had been
summoned, and in answer to questions by the Learned
Commissioner, said he did not think that the defendant
had any interest in the property she claimed.
Mr. Bean urged that the defendant had admitted
on the last occasion that she had received money from
his Serene Highness, and could receive more.
The defendant said the last money she had received
was in January last. She was an authoress. The de-
fendant then passed some very strong remarks on the
case.

The Learned COMMISSIONER cut short a warm con-
versation between the defendant, and Mr. Hillery, and
Mr. Bean, by saying his duty was only to see whether
the defendant had means. Mr. Hillery was the only
one who spoke to the point, and he thought the de-
fendant had not means at present, and therefore no osier
could be made ; if, however, it was shown hereafter that
she could pay, an order would be granted.
The defendant, who had a large packet of newspapers
and documents, was proceeding to address the Court on
" the whole matter in dispute," as she termed it, but was
checked.

ILFORD PETTY SESSIONS.
On Saturday Charles Sayer, of 12, Swan-yard, Shore-
ditch, shoemaker ; James Edwards, of Old Castle-street,
Shoreditch, shoemaker ; and Robert Edwards, of 26,
Union-street, Hackney-road, shoemaker, were charged
by the parish authorities with shooting at Ilford on Sun-
day, and " being found in the parish of East Ham with
dogs and guns, for an unlawful purpose."
The Chairman, Sir H. PELLY, inquired under what
Act the capture had been made, for he never heard of
such a charge before.
' The Churchwarden said they were in pursuit of game,
which was an offence.
Edwards said they could not have shot any if they had
seen it, and their only purpose was to shoot gulls.
The police constable said he found a gull bagged.
The Magistrate, after some conversation, said the
police had no right to interfere with the sport so far as
taking the men into custody, their power being to ask
for their name and address, and proceed against them by
information.
The Churchwarden expressed his intention to do so.
Their guns, which had been detained at the station•
house on their being taken into custody, were delivered
up to them, and they were discharged.

THE EQUINOCTIAL GALES.—The recent equinoc-
al gales, we regret to hear, have exceeded in violence
he deplorable storm in 1739. Such, however, are the
reports received at Lloyd's, from the masters of the nu-
merous merchantmen who were fortunate enough to
escape the dreadful fury of the hurricane. They up,
pear to have commenced from the S.W. on the 9th ult.,
and continued with increased force till the morning of
the 22d. The effect on the broad expanse of the Atlan-
t c is described to have been of the most fearful de.
scription, the loss both of life and property being
exceedingly great. Numerous other casualties at sea
have also occurred.
MEETING FOR. THE ABOLITION OF THE PUNISH-
MENT OF DEATH.—A very thronged meeting was held at
the Surrey Litettry and Scientific Institution, l'o7ougli-
road, on Friday evening, for the purpose of adopting
such measures as would tend to induce the Legislature
to abolish the code which inflicts the punishment of the
forfeiture of life as the expiation of certain infractions of
the law. The Rev. Mr. Christmas having been called
to the chair, the meeting was addressed by Mr. A. Pel-
att., the Rev. Mr. Burns, and several other gentlemen,
and resolutions were pa,s-11 to the effect, that the meet-
ing pledged itself to use its most strenuous exertions to
promote the speedy and total abolition of the punish-
ment of death. Tho customary vote of thanks was
carried, and the meeting separated.
DOMESTIC YEAST._persona who are in the habit
of making their own bread, can easily manufacture their
own yeast, by
attena;dg
to the following directions:—
Boil one pound of good flour, a quarter of a pound of
brown sugar, and a little salt, in two gallons ol water,
for an hour • when milkwarm, bottle it, and cork it close,
and it will be fit for use in twenty-four hour:. One pound
of this yeast will make eighteen pounds of bread.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Storey, of Fleet-street, was summoned by the
Churchwardens of St. Duntan's-in-the-West, for non-
payment of 91. 155., due for church-rates.
The case was heard before Mr. Alderman Gibbs are]
Mr. Alderman Copeland on last Saturday, when the de-
cision was in favour of the Churchwardens, but no war-
rant of distress was then pressed for. This day Mr.
Perry appeared for the defendant, and contended that
the magistrates had no jurisdiction, inasmuch as the
rates due amounted to 15/, and were therefore not re-
coverable in this court.
After a very prolonged discussion the magistrates de-
cided in this (and in the other following cases), that the
complainant had discretion to take out a summons in
the first instance for the smaller sum, and to proceed
afterwards for the remainder. They would not grant
an appeal to the sessions, for which they considered there
was no ground. A warrant of distress was accordingly
ordered.
Several other c lees of the same nature were similarly
diposed of.
. The hearing of the case of Mr. Witt, the dentist, of
Holborn, who was charged with bigamy a few days since,
was resumed before Mr. Alderman Wood.
Mr. Haddlestone, With Mr. Mohler, attended on behalf
of the prosecution ; and Mr. Ballantine, with Mr. Wont-
ner, for the prisoner.
Miss Hill, the second wife, was recalled. She said
Witt paid his addresses to her five years before they
were married. He said at first he was a widower, but
she knew of his wire going to America, and she pressed
him to make inquiry there. He said he could do it as
well in England, and produced a paper signed by a Mr.
Eccles and Mr. Forty, that they had heard and believed
that Mrs. Witt had died at New York.
Cross examined by Mr. Ballantine—She had another
suitor, who fixed a time for marrying her, but dropped
her, and a year after that she married Mr. Witt.
Mr. Earle was called, but did not answer.
After some lengthened discussion between the counsel.
Mr. Alderman WooD said he had made up his mind
to dismiss the case, because it rested solely on the evi-
dence of Mr. Earle; and he placed no reliance on his
testimony, taking his own account of himself. The
manner in which he fenced with some questions that
were put to him, and the way in which he availed him-
self of the protection not to answer certain questimee
necessarily led to the inference that he could not ven-
ture to answer them. It had been said it was for the
jury, and not the megistrate to decide on the credibility
of witnesses. He had always acted on a contrary prin-
ciple; for he thought no magistrate should send a man
to trial-on eviden•.•e to which he did not himself give
credit. The magistrate was bound to exercise his dis-
cretion, and not commit recklessly on evidence which he
did not believe, and which he thought no jury would
believe. He therefore discharged Mr. Witt.
The par I e retired.
CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.
POWER ( F THE POLICE OVER TILE PUBLIC.-Mr.
B. G. Facia, marquee and tarpauling manufacturer, in
West Smithfield, was summoned before Sir James Duke
and Mr. A7derman Kelly, for obstructing City police-
sergeant White, No. 24.
The case arose through the sergeant stopping the de-
fendant with his horse and cart, going into Smithfield
to his stables on Monday morning last, during the time
the market was held, unless he would state whera he
was going to.
The defendant contended that the policeman had no
right to stop him. He told the sergeant he was going
to his stables, and he knew him and where he was going.
Alderman KELLY said a satisfactory answer would
have avoided all unpleasantness.
The defendant still insis'ed that the magistrates heal
no right to place officers at the end of.Giltspur-street to
stop the traffic. The Corporation had no power to ex-
ercise such a right. Be had consulted Mr. Pearson, the
City solicitor, on the subject, and had bern to the
Queen's printer to ascertain if any Act existed that al-
lowed the Corporation such a power as they laid claim
to, without his receiving the slightest information that
would warrant them in the step they had taken.
The summons was eventually dismissed.
BOW-STREET,.
Police-constable Charles BransonE 117, was charged
with having been drunk and absent from his duties.
The defendant pleaded Guilty, urging, in extenuation,
of his offence, " that he had been only three months in
the force, and was a married man."
The inspector of the division deposed to the Fact of
the defendant's absence, and stated that he found him
drunk in bed, at his own lodgings. His wife had re-
ported him as sick, and unable to attend to his duties,
and the constable told witness that he had au attack of
rheumatism, which disabled one of his legs.
Mr. HALL inquired as to the defendant's general cha-
racter, and was informed that the man was considered a
tolerably efficient constable. A few days, previously,
however, he was found drunk, and the Commissioners
of Police fined him ss. ; and it was during the progress
of this investigation that he again got drunk, and dis-
appeared from his beat, as already stated.
It was stated—and his Worship considered it a cir-
cumstance in the defendant's favour—that, having got
drunk, he went home to bed, instead of attempting to
resume his duties in a state of intoxication.
The inspector feared that the defendant's means would
scarcely enable him to pay the previous fine of ss.
Mr. HALL lectured him on the folly of persisting in a
course that must bring ruin upon himself and family,
and fined him 205., committing him for seven days in
default of payment.

LAMBETH.
William Wilmot Byrom, who has assumed innumer-
able aliases, and who has been in custody for a fortnight
on various charges of obtaining money by false represen-
tations, and inserting advertisements in the daily and
weekly papers, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton
for further examination. Mr. Knight, a solicitor, and
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared for the prose-
cution ; and an attorney's clerk and Mr. Ballantine at-
tended on behalf of the prisoner.
The first witness called was Miss Frances White, of
Connaught. terrace, Edgware-road, who deposed on a
former examination to having lent the prisoner 201., and
his depositing in her hands as security three tea war-
rants, representing that the tea to which they referred
was of the value of 901., and told her that by taking
them to Mincing-lane they would be as good as a Bank-
note. Witness, on his saying this, expressed her sur-
prise, if such was the case, that he did not take them to
Mincing-lane himself, and procure the money he required
on them, instead of giving so large a premium for what
he required. The prisoner's reply was, that if things
Acre so done it would be most injurious to trade, and
that he would rather pay anything for an amount which
he might require on an emergency than take such securi-
ties into the market himself.
The mother of this witness corroborated her testi-
mony.
Mr. William Smith Adam, principal warehouseman
to Messrs. Clarke and Rowe, tea-dealers, is Arthur-
street West, deposed that he had taken samples of the
tea to which the warrants produced by Miss White re•
ferred, and found it to be perfectly worthless, or at least
not worth 2d. a pound. Their flavour was quite noxious
and any person knowing anything whatever of the qua-
lity of tea would not purchase them at any price.
Mr. Clarkson—Then they are not of the value of 904?
Witness—Certainly not, nor 90d. The tea was origi-
nally black; but by some means, he thought by an in-
fusion of copperas, an effort had been made to
make it
green.
In his cross-examination by Mr. Ballantine, the wir-
ness said the tea in question came from China in its
lix,pasensfoerotfhefr(mi

ingof them short of the duty ; and this being

done, the seller gave warrants for the different parcels,

taeanadd.trtandeet
which entitled their holders to clear them upon paying
the duty, which
was 2s. 2-id. per pound, and the amount
also of the warehousing. The duty upon all teas was
the same, and there was nothing on the face of
the warrants to denote either the quality of the teas
to which they related, or of the amount that had
been paid for them. In reply to Mr. Clarkson, witness
said the duty upon the tea, to which the warrants pro-
duced referred, remains unpaid, and it, with the ware-
house fees, would amount to about 2,1. 6d. per pound,
while they were not worth Id. a pound. The teas were inn-
dorted in 1842, so that they bad been four years in the
warehouse. The cargo, of which they were a part, was
well known in [the trade, and was what was called the
"fraudulent lot."
Mr. A. B. Richards deposed, that on the 2d of July
last he wrote a note in reply to an advertisement, and
was waited upon on the following day by the prisoner,
who represented himself as a watchmaker and jeweller,
and gave his name as Edward Blatchford. Witness
ultimately agreed to lend him 301., the advertisement
being only for 25L; but on paying him the money he
paid him 5/. too much, which made 351.; for this the
prisoner gave him his note of hand, and as a collateral
security let him have a number of pawnbroker's tickets
for property, for which as much as 60/. appeared to
be lent. • When the note became due it was taken to be
presented for payment; but the house at which it had
been made payable was shut up, and had been so for
a length of time before, and no such person as Mr.
Blatchford was known there. He (witness) subse-
quently took part of the articles pledged out of pawn,
and found that they were not worth the money ad-
vanced upon them.
A tradesman in Camomile-street, Bishopsgate-street,
whose name did not transpire, deposed to having been
swindled out of a large sum of money by the prisoner
and another man.
Another person, who represented himself as a builder,
stated that he too had been cheated out of a sum of
money by a companion of the prisoner, and mentioned,
as a proof of the deep schemes and plans resorted to by
these fellows, that the advertisement, through the means
of which he had been led to Part with his money, appeared
in the Builder; so that in lending the money he thought
he was assisting a distressed fellow-tradesman instead of
a swindler.
Mr. NORTON here called over the names of several
persons who have been victimized by the prisoner and
his associate, and who had since the last examination
fiirwarded communications and statements of their dif-
ferent cases to him (Mr. Norton). Only one or two out
of the whole having answered,
Mr. Knight observed, that numerous persons were
prevented from coming forward from the reluctance of
having their names placed before the public in cennexion
with such transactions, rir a dislike to have what they
considered to be their silliness exposed.
Mr. NORTON replied that he was quite aware of this,
and expressed a hope that the publication of the parti-
culars of this case which had already obtained, would be
productive of much good, as it would be the means he
hoped, of exposing an ingenious system of fraud, which
was being carried on to a very great extent, and place
the peke on their guard against such persons for the
future.

Mrs. Rapront, a lady from whom the prisoner had
received one .:um Of money, and his friend Mr. Barnes

Mr. Clarkson—But still it is part of the "fraudulent
lot."

Mr. NORTON observed, that it was his opinion at the
last examination, and he was of the same opinion still,
that scßao unprincipled pawnbrokers had lent. themselves
to the practices of the prisoner and his confederates, by
placing on their tickets a larger amount in the way
of loaß than the articles pawned were actually worth,
and thereby assisted them in can.) ing on their system of
imr osition.
S veral perscns in the body of the Court said that this
was the fact, and one said that on a subsequent examina-
tion of the prisoner he should bring forward a clear case
to establish the fact, and to show beyond dispute that
pawnbrokers lent themselves in such cases.
Mr. NORTON replied that he would Le most ready. to
hear such a charge, and if he found the charge esta-
blished against the pawnbroker he should have no
hesitation in placing him at the bar alongside the
prisoner.—Remanded.
THAMES.

William Lilly, a seaman, was brought before Mr.
, Broderip, to answer a charge of running Silbs, of
foreign manufactured tobacco from the ship Blanche
Adamson, recently arrived from Cadiz. He was de-
tected coming from the ship with the tobacco in his
possession.
The prisoner made no attempt to evade the conse-
quences of the illegal transaction. He plea-led guilty,
said it was his first offence, and begged for mercy.
Mr. BRODERIP said, the power of mitigation rested
with the Commissioners of Customs, and not with him.
He then inflicted the penalty of 100/. sued for, and com-
mitted the prisoner in default of payment.
It was understood the fine would be materially reduced
on petition to the Board of Customs, as the prisoner was
not previously known to the revenue officers.
Mary Liddle, aged 17, was brought before Mr. Brode-
rip yesterday, on a charge of robbing a poor woman,
named Maria Anderson. of 14s. and other moneys.
The prosecutrix, who r.,sides in Mary-street, Poplar,
met with a severe accident on Monday last, and fractured
five of her ribs. She was taken home in an almost in-
sensible condition, and bled by a surgeon. While she
was reclining in a chair, faint from the loss of blood and
the injuries she had received, she felt the prisoner's hand
in her pocket, and accused her of taking her money.
The girl, who was that day employed in the house, said
she was a liar, and left the room. The poor woman
directly afterwards missed her cash. On the next dap.
the prisoner was expending a good deal of silver, and
treating various persons with liquor.
She was committed for trial.
MA R YL EB ONE.
PIGEON PANClERS.—Jeremiah Callaghan, a lad about
fourteen years of age, was placed at the bar, charged
with being concerned, with a boy named -M'Grath, in
stealing two pigeons, the property of James Courtney,
Esq , of Finchlcy road, St. John's-wood.
It appeared that the prisoner Callaghan, together with
M'Grath, had been taken into custody on Wednesday
last by Grant, 63 S, and brought to this Court, but no
owner for the pigeons being then, discovered they were
set at liberty. The owner being subsequently disco-
vered, Callaghan was again captured.
Grant, 63 S, stated that between the hours of three
and four o'clock on Wednesday last, he took the prisoner
and M'Grath into custody, and found a pigeon in the
breast of each of their coats, and upon his asking them
to whom they belonged, they stated that they were their
own. and if he would take them before the " beak," they
would satisfy him that they were so.
The constable stated that although the prisoner was
young in years he was well known to the police for his
thieving propensities.
Mr. Courtney identified the pigeons as belonging to
him.

The prisoner was remanded for a few days to afford
time for the re-taking of APO rath.

HA ER SMITH.
ASSAULT BY A Stn'QEoN.—On Saturday Mr. Arthur
Hill Hassell, a medical practitioner, residing in the
Queen's-road, Notting-hill, appeared before Mr. Poynter,
the sitting magistrate, to answer a summons for having
assaulted Mary Anne Tustin.
Mary Anne Tustin, a decent-looking female, deposed
'hat she owed the defendant a bill for 11. Is., for attend-
ing her child (since de :eased), for which he had sent her
a lawyer's letter. On the 7th instant she went to him,
and told him she thought it was very sharp practice ;
that she thought that he was not treating her properly ;
and that he had not acted properly to her child while he
attended it. Defend:lnt denied hating murdered her
child, as she said, and made use of some very vulgar
language towards her in reference to the letter. Upon
that lie put on his hat, and seizing hold of her by the
arms, he forced her out of the surgery, and threw her
violently into the street, by which her knee was cut.
This was the assault ccmplained of.
George Moore corroborated in some particulars the
evidence of the complainant.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he pro-
f'ssionally attended the complainant's child. After its
decease he sent in his bill. The complainant accused
him of having murdered her child, and he sent her a
lawyer's letter. On the receipt she came to him, and
abused him in his surgery. He ordered her out, bat she
continued her abuse, threatening him that his name
should appear in all the newspapers. lie then put her
out of the house, using no more violenc,, than was ne-
cessary, but in so doing she tripped her feet over the.sill
of the door.

Edward Miller, defendant's assistant, deposed that he
was in the surgery, and heard an altercation between the
defendant and complainant, and thinking it was a pri-
vate matter, he went out into the adjoining room. He
heard her accuse Mr. Hassel with murdering her ch9d,
and also heard him turning her out.
Mr. PAYNTER said he could not see what the com-
plainant wanted in going to the defendant's house, if it
was not to insult him, as she did not go to
pay him. She had, however, gone there, and
insulted the defendant, by charging him with a cri-
minal offence ; yet that did not justify the improper re-
mark which the defendant had made to the complainant,
and which, as a medical man, he must ever lament having
used, but it justified the defendant in turning her out of
his house, provided that he did not use more violence
than was necessary. According, however, to the evi-
dence of Moore, the defendant had used more and un-
necessary violence, for which he must fine the defendan'
40s. and costs.
Defendant immediately paid the amount

LORD ROSH'S TELESCOPE.—The statement which
has recently gone the round of the London press, an-
nouncing the contemplated destruction of this mag-
nificent instrument by a fanatic, is founded upon
an apparent error of the correspondent of the
Belfast Chronicle. Lard Rosse's telescope is erected
at Parsonstown, in the King's County, at a dis-
tance of more than one hundred Irish miles from
Armagh. Whilst we rejoice in the inference that it has
escaped the rude hands of an ignorant ruffian, we are at
the same time thrown on an albernative hardly less
painful, that if any instrument has suffered it is the
telescope of Dr. Robinson, of Armagh, who, it will be
remembered, gave some valuable scientific evidence
before a Committee of the House of Commons on the
relative merits of the sewral kinds of railway haulage.
ADVENTURE, OF A CAT.—In April last a vessel
visited Garliestown Harbour, the captain of which had a
favourite cat, kittened somewhere on the shores of
America, that hunted at will over the ship, and
amply repaid board and lodging by the destruc-
tion of rats as well as mice, Tired, however, of the
sea, and its perils, puss gave bee old friends the slip,

she was a welcome guest to all, save the small birds
that hop among the twigs of trees in summer, entered
the house occasionally, and was fed regularly for a
period of nearly five months. But some farmer friend
having seen and taken a fancy to the stranger, she
was dispatched far inland, packed in a basket to
diminish the probabilities, if not possibilities, of ever
finding her way back again. But puss, although born
in a slave country, repudiated the idea of becoming a
thrall at pleasure ; the home assigned might be all very
well in its own way, but its novelties she liked not ; the
moors were too near, the hills high, and the
colley dogs especially pert and uncivil. Again,
therefore, she became a tramp, and at the end of
ten days re-appeared at her former domicile, guided
by some curious instinct, which is as useful to the
Mine species as the compass to the mariner. If the
old folks looked surprised, the young ones were de
lighted, while all admired the sleekness and plumpness
of the far-travelled mouser. After a little time notes
were compared, from which it appeared that the cat had
been eight days on the road, shifting as she best could,
and, in a district where muircocks and plovers are rife,
observing carefully the old maxim, "As we journey
through life, let us live by the way."—Ditinfries Courier.
FOREIGN CATTLE.—A sailing-vessel is arrived in
the London Docks from Hamby,.

a cargo of spelter, 40 head of horned leadcat. This ar-
rival presents two distinct features of novelty, it being the first importation into the port of London of live
cattle in a soiling-packet from this distant Hanseatic
port, and the first time al.o, we believe, that a vessel has
entered any of the dock establishments having a con-
signment of live horned stock on b ard.
PERILOUS CONDITION OF A BOAT'S CIIRW.--Orl
Monday afternoon, during thez;ale, while a pilot- boat from
Newhaven was running to the northward of Inehkeith, it
was capsized by a sudden squall. The crew, which con-
sisted of two men and a boy, were thus placed in the most
imminent peril. Most fortunately, all of them managed to
get on the keel of the boat, where they remained for
two hours before they were observed from Inchkeith.
Two boats put off from the island ; one of them, owing
to the strength of the gale, ran to leeward of the
sufferers. The crew of the other were more fortunate,
and succeeded in saving their lives. Previous to this the
unhappy men had shaken hands and bidden farewell to
each other ; and the boy
was in a very distressed and
exhausted state,—Edinburgh Post.

another sum, upon their note of hand, and depositing
with her some tea warrants, was examined, and produced
both the bills and the warrans.
Sergeant Merrit, one of the officers engaged in the
case, said he had procured samples of the tea, and
had them tested by Messrs Thompson, tea-brokers, and
they pronounced them to be worth no more than 3d.

Mr. Adam here examined the samples produced by the
officer, and observed that it was a little better than that
which he had tested.
Mr. Ballantine—l suppose it has less copperas in it
than the other ?—(Laughter.) Witness—l suppose
so ; at all events, it is a penny a pound better than the
other.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—The news received by the
Cambria having given an impulse to the speculative rise
on cotton, the prevailing impression is that spinners will
require to fall back upon short time as their only safe
course. It is certainly a stern mode of bringing things
round, and will press with great severity on the labour..
ing classes, coupled, as it must be, with dear food. Very
little business has been doing for the last few days. We
cannot say that there is any change in the prices of
either cloth or yarn.
LEICESTER.—Track is much in the sime condition as
we last reported. On the whole, it is rather dull for the
season. The country houses experience more demand
than those engaged in the L•nidon trade. The failure
of the potato crop, and the cons-vent advance in pro-
visions, tends rather to check the demand. There is ne
change in wools or yarns ; the mills are working' full
time, and the machinery is all employed.—LeteeAter
Chronicle.
LEEDS, OCT. 13.—Both to-day and on Saturday, the
sane dull state of the markets has ruled at both our
cloth-halls, as has been the case of late. The foreign
houses are doing very little in the way of purchases, and
the houses which are in the home trade continue to pur-
chase only from hand to mouth ; prices are without any
alteration. Business has also been dull in the wart hon2es,
but if the weather should be cold during the month,sthe
general impression is, that the trade for winter goods
will be pretty brisk for a time.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—WOOI—The last has been
an extremely dull week for the sale of combing wools,
and the market is well supplied with all kinds; but
owing to the high rates still sought in the country, the
prices here are well maintained. Noils and brokes are
rather flatter, and a shade lower prices submitted to.
Yarns—The business doing to-day is very similar to
several weeks past; and the spinners fear the approach
of winter, with the present low prices for yarns. Pieces
—The piece trade to-day has been rather quiet, but as
the accounts from the fair at Leipzic are pretty satisfac-
tory, it is hoped we shall see ere long more animated
doings. This being between the seasons, the manufac-
turers of fancy goods are generally flat, as plain Orleans
and Paramattas are most iuquired for, and prices remain
steady.—Bradford -Observer.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The wrought cotton
hose branch, especially the finer and best qualities, are
yet very dull, and many of the hands in the villages are
suffering for want of employment. Whilst this is the
case in Britain, in France and Spain, fine cotton hose
above thirty-eight gauge arc in great demand, and fetch
high prices. The cotton cut up hose branch, which has
been bad for several weeks past, has rather suddenly
mended, and frames that have stood for four or five
weeks are now fully employed. The drawer and pan-
taloon branch has not amended, and there is little or no
employment in the silk glove trade; still the quantity
made is large. The bobbin net lace trade, though in
some quarters a shade better, is yet dull. The making
of a better description of nets from the Lever's machines
is very slowly extending. The warp lace trade is upon
the whole much be tter, and the frames are gradually
getting to work. The silk warp lace trade, though con.
tending with difficulties on all sides, is a shade better.—
Nottingham Journal.

UREATER AND LESSER. SINS.—Dr. Brisbane says
that when he was in South Carolina, one of his Baptist
brethren underwent a church trial for a very serious
offence. This Baptist brother had been the means of
parating a slave husband and wife for ever. He had
been importuned not to do it—to sell them both to one
master, and not wring their hearts with the agony of
septa. ttion ; but he said he " would see them both
in hell first ! He was brought up before the church,
and:tried, for what, think ye? For the inhumanity of
sundering man and wife ? No ; but for using profane
language ! His spiritual advisers and co-workers took
joined
no thought of the crime of parting what God hade
together, but they were very much horriLEmdatantchi.

AFFRAY WITH POACHERs.—An affray with poachers
lately took place on the Killin Moors, Inverness-shire,
which had been taken for the season by Lord Edwin
Hill, and a party of his friends. Mr. Dudley Majori-
banks, who was one of the number, had gone upcn the
hills on the morning of Friday the 25th of September,
accompanied by the gamekeeper and'one of his assistants,
when they discovered the poachers; and after a short
pursuit and contest the latter were overpowered.; and
being deprived of their gems, surrendered thems lves,
when they were sent off to the prison of Inverness.
During the strugg'e, the head keeper (Dickson) had a
providential escape, one of the poachers haqag levelled
his gun, and fired at him, when almost in a state of
proximity, at the end of the pursuit. Caledonian

LICENSED VICPIALLERS' PROTECTION SOCIETY.--
At a meeting of the committee of the above society, held
at the office, 90, Farringdon-street, on Friday, the 16th
inst., Mr. Elt in the chair—a gratuity of one guinea was
paid to J. Burton, 272 M, for apprehending a man for
robbing Messrs. Whitbread and Co., brewers, of a rope
from one of the drays. To James Jackman, 70 S, one
guinea, for apprehending two men, for creating a dis-
turbance and assaulting Mr. James, Bedford Arms
Tavern, Camden-town. And to John Davies, 46 L, a
reward of one guinea, for apprehending Mary Eton,
for robbing Mr. Bathe, -Spanish Patriot, Lower Marsh,
Lambeth, of a knife. At a previous meeting the follow-
ing sums were awarded :—To James Lock, 103 E, one
guinea, for his vigilance and activity in apprehending
Daniel Byrne, for refusing to pay for refreshment sup-
plied, and assaulting Robt. Chandler, the barman of Mr.
Friend, Tavistock Arms, Tavistock-place ; the prisoner
was connected with a regular gang, two of whom have
been since apprehended,; he was committed for 21 days.
To David King, 548 C P, one guinea, for apprehending
Thomas Ashley, for robbing Mr. Bacon, the George,
Billingsgate, of a pewter pot. And to Eliza Brown, half
a guinea, for detecting James Burens in robbing her
employer, Mr. Chamberlain, White Horse, White Horse-
street, Stepney, of several pewter pots.
SUPPOSED LOSS Or THE LOCH RYAN ROTTERDAM
STEAM-VESSEL.—The Loch Ryan, Rotterdam steamer,
which should hare arrived in London on Sunday evening
last had not arrived up to eight o'clock last evening, and
had not been heard off. The Loch Ryan was laden with
about 200 head of cattle and 100 sheep, and has been as
certained to have sailed from Helvoetsluys on Thursday,
the 9th instant. A report has reached the office of the
Netherlands Steam.packet Company in King William-
street, City, dated from Ostend, stating that the Loch
Ryan had, during the storm on the night of the
9th instant, foundered off the mouth of the Texel, but
that the captain and the crew had been rescued by, and
taken on board of, a Swedish barqUe, which was on her
way home. Other reports state that the steamer was
compelled, for safety, to run to the Elbe ; but no certain
information has as yet been received, and, as she is, now
six days. over due, the worst results are feared.
Ma. BRIGHT AND THE MANCHESTER REFORM
ASSOCIATION.—On Frilly noon. a meeting of the Reform
Association of Manchester, at which Alderman Callen.
der presided, was held for the :purpose of receiving Mr.
Bright's ,answer to the request made to him by the
Association to allow himself to be put into nomination
