STATE OF TRADE.

MANctiEsTErt, TUESDAY.—The apprehensions of in-
ternal disturbances, arising out of the threatened
Chartist demonstration in London yesterday,
and the unsettled state of Ireland, have seri•
ously affected the demand for the home trade
during the last few days; and, as there is no
revival of demand from the continent, the busi-
ntss done here has been on an exceedingly small
scale, with a general though slight decline in prices,
particularly in yarn, which feels the effect of increased
supplies of cotton to the American ports.
We understand that the purchases of goods made last
week for the Mexican market are likely to be affected by
one of the clauses of the treaty of peace with the United
States, which provides that all merchandise imported
into Mexico within sixty days after the signature of the
treaty, shall be entitled to entry at the low rates of duty
imposed by the American Government. This period of
sixty days, though quite long enough to enable the mer-
chants of the United States to send supplies of goods,
will be somewhat too short for shipments from Europe,
which,consequently, probably be subjected to much
of
duty.
higher The rates
santile letters received by the Cambrian from
the United States do not exhibit quite so much alarm on
account of the recent revolu:ion in France as might have
been expected, considering the extensive commerce be-
tween the two countries, and especially regarding the
large imports of cotton which have been recently made
from the American ports to France. Apparently the
merchants at New York did not contemplate the utter
prostration which has fallen upon the commercial and
moneyed classes in France ; but the next arrivals, when
the truth would have become more fully known, and
when there would have been time to hear from the sou-
thern states, will probably be of a somewhat different
complexion. We understand 'that shipments of cotton
from New Orleans to France are not untrequently paid
for, in the first instance, by drafts at sixty days, on New
York, which, when approaching maturity, are provided
for by drawiag on Paris, and selling the bills in the New
York market. A credit of nearly four months is thus
obtained, and the amount of paper in circulation at any
one time is considerably increased. The consequences
of this mode of negotiating will, we fear, be exceedingly
serious to some of the agency houses at New Orleans
and New York ; for, under existing circumstances, bills
on Paris have but; little prospect of meeting acceptance
or payment.
R00m:341.E, MONDAY.—To day has been one of the
dullest markets we have had this year. There has been
a thin attendance of buyers, and but few pieces have been
sold, and those at reduced prices. There has been little
or no business in the wool market, and prices may be
quoted a shade lower.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Rather more business has
been done to•day in fancy goods, but there is no general
improvement, and no expectation of it until political
affairs become more settled both at homo and abroad.
For yarn, there is an almost entire suspension of demand ;
and the short time the mills are now employed is adding
to stock. No wool is changing hands, and prices are
merely nominal.

ford, at the York Minster,
Dean •s es

body of a new-born female child, found on Saturday
night last, in Carlisle-street, Soho-square. Mr. Jones,

child was born alive, but be was unable to state the
immediate cause of death, or how long it had

neighbourhood of 13elgrave-square, on the previous
evening. The body was conveyed to the workhouse,
Mount-Street, Grosvenor-square, to await an inquest.
VICTORIA THBATRE.—Very extensive alterations
and improvements are being Made iii this theatre prior
to its re-opening at Easter. An entirely now stage,
with all the means and appliances that have been sug-
gested by modern science, has been laid down, and will
give scope to the introduction of scenic effects of the
most surprising and startling nature. A handsome
portico is also in course of construction in place of the
somewhat plain and unsightly edifice which so long
formed the front of the theatre. The painter, the de-
corator, the carver and gilder, and the upholsterer, are
besides diligently employed in all parts of the interior,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mrs. Mary Haddington, who gave her address, West-
bourne-grove, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged
with having stolen a pair of gloves, a pair of stockings,
and a collar, from the shop of Messrs. Phillips artd Co.,
mercers, Regent-street.
An assistant to Messrs. Phillips, named Edwards, said
the prisonereame into the shop that day, and made,a selec-
tion of some articles, which she wished to be packed in
a parcel, and sent to a Mr. Roberts, of Carlton-terrace.
Witness suspected the prisoner, and on watching her
closely, he saw her take something from the counter,
and place it beneath her shawl. As she was about to
leave the shop, she was stopped and charged with the
offence of stealing. When searched at the station-house
the property now produced was found in her possession
The prisoner, who aas very genteelly dressed, in a
very rambling, incoherent way, begged the magistrate
to send for her aunt, and she would tell him all about
it. She said her husband had gone to the Bank to re-
ceive some money, at the end of a Chancery suit, and
she had contrived to leave home without the knowledge
of her family.
Mr. ILeanwicx asked the witness Edwards, if the pri-
soner exhibited the same incoherence when making pur •
chases?—The witness said, certainly not. The prisoner
was as collected and sensible as the most rational of the
customers.
Police-constable Mould, C division, said the prisoner
certainly did not exhibit the same eccentricity of man-
ner a hen he took her into custody.
Mr. HARDWICK said it would be as well to make in-
quiry of the prisoner's friends, whether the present irra-
tional manner and speech were only assumed, or whether
the prisoner really laboured under disordered intellects.
He should direct the police to make the requisite in-
quiries before he finally committed the prisoner.
The prisoner was then removed, and when iu the
lockup cell she gave her address, No. 2, Mountford•
road, Westbourne-road.
MARYLERONE.
A considerable degree of interest was excited at this
court in consequence of its having bee❑ the day ap-
pointed for the re-examination of Mr. Thomas Buxton
Baynes, surgeon, Thaxted, Essex, who on Friday last
was brought up by Inspector Tedman, of the D division,
upon a warrant charging him, the said defendant, on
the oath of the Rev. Thomas Harvey, " with having, on
the Ist of April instant, at the parish of Paddington, in
the county of Middlesex, unlawfully taken an unmarried
girl, to wit, Marian Frances Jane Harvey, she being
under the age of 16 years, out of the possession of and
against the will of him, the said Thomas Harvey, her
father."
The particulars which previously transpired require
no more than a brief statement by way of allusion to
them, inasmuch as the subsequent inquiry (to-day) will
put the public in possession of the whole history of the
transaction. It may be observed that atter the young
lady was missing from her parents' dwelling the Rev.
Mr. Harvey repaired to Thaxted, accompanied by some
friends and Inspector Tedman, and that after a deter-
mined struggle she (the young lady) was brought from
the defendant's house and taken up to London, where
she was safely lodged in her father's house. The pro-
secution was instituted under 9th Geo. IV., c. 31.
To-day the defendant appeared pursuant to the recog-
nizance which he entered into on Friday, as security for
his being forthcoming, and he took his seat by the side
of his legal adviser, Mr. Wilkin, Furnival's
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended for the prose-
cution.
Mrs. Harvey and her daughter, who arrived at the
court soon after one o'clock, were accommodated with
seats in the magistrate's private room, and it was gene-
rally imagined that the young lady would have been
called upon to give evidence. This supposition was the
cause of a number of ladies flocking to the Justice room,
in the anxious expectation of obtaining a sight of her,
but their wishes were not realised.
The Rev. Thomas Harvey, examined by Mr. CLAA
80N—I was curate of Thaxted, and quitted on the 14th
of last month. While there I became acquainted with
defendant, who was first introduced to me by the vicar.
He was upon terms of intimacy with us, received hospi-
tality at our table, and he was treated by us in every
respect as a friend. My daughter was fifteen years old
on the Bth of last month. Her age was known to the
defendant. Some time before she was in a delicate state
of health, and was under his care. The nature of her
complaint was such that he recommended equestrian
exercise. I have permitted him to accompany her in her
rides. When I lett Thaxted I went to live at No. 30,
Queen's-terrace, Bayswater, and my wife and daughter
went there with me. Defendant knew where we had
taken up our abode. On Saturday, the Ist of April,
my daughter was missed from the house at about half-
past seven in the morning. On the previous day the
defendant had dined with my family. When I missed
my daughter I found a letter upon her dressing table.
The letter was here handed to the Rev. Gentleman by
his counsel, and he identified it as being the same to
which be bad alluded. It ran thus :
_ _ _

" Fyiday.
" Dear Sir —I suppose I shall Merit your eternal con-
demnation. I need not refer to late events. I place all
my happiness in the society of Fanny. An uncon-
trollable feeling of regard, which neither you nor Mrs.
Harvey could hate bean insensible to, has led me to abuse
your hospitality, find break the bonds of friendship and
honour, and make me entirely at your mercy. I wish to
take all the blame upon myself ; Fanny has received
an earnest and urgent solicitation from me. I cannot
tell ho* this affair has come shout, nor can she.
I believe, though there is a fearful disparity in
our agesi that there exists a mutual regard and affection
of the strongest bind. It would hare been useless to
have asked your consent—that question has been dis-
cussed over and over again. I love Fanny to distrac-
tion. I will *otk hatd tor her support, her happiness,
and comfort. Do not blame the, I will consult all her
wants; study her wishes, and treat her with that con-
sideraildn find deliCacy which is her due. It will be
useless to pursue us—stlch would be an endless labour,
and would tend to make publid tbosle circumstances
which would not be worth the trouble you would have
to encounter. Arrangements are made which will pre-
vent any possibility of detection. You shall hear from
us to-night. If you wish to communicate with us,
insert a short advertisement, in French, in the
to-morrow morning. Bear in mind lam no adventurer.
You have this to consider—you cannot undo what has
been done. Fanny
is happy; but I feel that I have
abused your kindness, and am unworthy your coasider-
ation. I hope for your forgiveness.

T. S. 13."

P.S. I risk fearful consequences, but it matters not
what becomes of me; if you separate us, I can but make
short work of it, and I would suffer death as soon as

disgrace."
Mr. Harvey, in continuation, said—l have since suc-
ceeded in regaining possession of my daughter, whom I
found at defendant's house at Thaxted yesterday week,
at about three in the morning. She was then in bed. I
was resisted by the defendant upon my insisting upon
entering into his dwelling, and in a struggle which took
place at a back door of his house, a pistol fell from his
person. I also found another pistol under my daughter's
pillow; both of them turned out to be capped and loaded.
(The pistols were here produced by Mr. Tedman; they
were small, but of exquisite workmanship.)
The Rev. Gentleman, in reply to a further question
from Mr. Clarkson, said —Upon my oath, it was not in
any way with my sanction or will, that my daughter
went away with defendant, and I would rather see her in
her grave than she should have done an.
By Mr. Wilkin—On the Friday, he might have come
to my house at the request of my wife, but I don't know
that he did. (A letter written by Mrs. Harvey was
brought forward and read ; the purport of it was an
invitation to dine with the family on the Friday, the
day preceding her daughter's abduction.) I have no
knowledge of my daughter's portrait having been taken
by an artist, at the request of defendant; and until yes-
terday I never heard that she had accepted from him
. _

eithe; a riding-hat or a ring.
Another letter from Mrs. Harvey, and which was ad-
dressed to the defendant before the family left Thaxted,
was read by Mr. Wilkin • The said epistle assured de-
fendant that she (Mrs. Harvey) and Fanny were much
attached to him, acd that by the aid of steam he might,
in the space of an hour, be with them.
Cross. examination by Mr. Wilkin continued.—l have
not seen defendant walk in the garden with my daughter,
but if I had seen it I should not have objected to it. I
never heard the defendant had been stopped by a high-
way man some time ago, and that ever since he had car-
ried pistols about him by way of protection.
Mr. Wilkin here produced a number of letters alleged
to be in the handwriting of the Rev. Gentleman's daugh-
ter, and was about to read some of them, when—
Mr. BROUGHTON asked if the young lady was to be
called as a witness for the prosecution?

Mr. Clarkson.—Certainly not.
Mr. BROUGHTON then decided that the letters could
not be read.
Mr. Clarkson—Now, Mr. Harvey, I ask you this
question, upon your solemn oath, did you ever consent
in any way whatever to your daughter leaving home
with the defendant, or had you the slightest idea that
he was courting her?—Mr. Harvey—Certainly not.
Mr. Harvey, in answer to Mr. Wilkin, said I recollect
Mr. Barnes having asked me to allow him to have Fanny's
portrait taken, and I acceded to his wish. The likeness
was taken by Mr. Gee.
Mr. Clarkson, at this stage of the proceedings, ad-
dressed Mr. Broughton, to the effect, that after the evi-
dence which had been adduced, he thought that there
would be no hesitation with respect to the defendant
being called upon to find good bail for his appearance,
to answer the charge at the next session of the Central
Criminal Court.
Mr. Wilkin trusted that the Magistrate would not do
so, unless he felt that there was a chance of a con-
viction.
Numerous cases were brought forward by Mr. Wilkin,
who conducted the defence in a very able manner, and
he contended that no proof had been adduced as to any
' offence having been committed by his client. Letters
which had passed between the parties clearly showed
' that there was a strong feeling of affection existing be-
tween his client and the Rev. Gentleman's daughter, and
that there was not the slightest ground for imagining
that she had quitted home otherwise than with her own
free will and consent.
Mr. Clarkson argued, pro contra, at some length, and
asserted that the defendant had, by his own letter ad-
dressed to the complainant, fully established his guilt.
The Learned Gentleman also produced the certificate of
marriage between the parties at St. Margaret's Church,
Westminster, and it was already shown that the de-
fendant had sworn that the young lady whom he had
married was above the age of 18, and that the alliance
was with the full and entire consent of her parents; thus
showing upon the face of the said document that he had
committed the crime of perjury.
Mr. BROUGHTON, who ab initio bad paid the greatest
attention to the ease, and a great deal of whose time
had been devoted to researches into authorities bearing
upon the circumstances connected wish the case under
inquiry, reviewed the whole of the evidence adduced,
upon which he expatiated at some length. The conclu-
sion which he ultimately came to was, that it was his
duty to send defendant for trial on the charge of eh-
! duction.
The defendant was then committed, but he was allowed
to put in hail to the amount of 1,0001., viz., himself in
5001. and two sureties in 2501. each, for his being forth-
coming to meet the charge at the sessions.
LAMBETH.

Roiert Murdie, the young man who has been in cus-
tody for some days past on a charge of violating the
person of Miss Rebecca Sophia Yarwood, under circum-
stances of great brutality, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Elliott for final examination.,
Mr. Humphreys attended on behalf of the accused,
whose friends were said to be respectable.
The prosecutrix, a genteel, but delicate looking young
woman, who was so affected on seeing the prisoner
as to be unable for some time to go on with her
evidence, stated that she had been acquainted with
the prisoner tor about a month previous to the
present occurrence, and he paid her attentions with
the view of marrying her. On the evening of Friday,
the 31st of last month, he called at the house of
her parents, Agnes-street, Waterloo-road, and requested
her to accompany him for a walk, the evening being
very fine. She, with the consent of her mother, went
out with him, and they crossed the Westminster bridge,
passed the Houses of Lords and Commons, the Millbank
Penitentiary, and Vauxhall-bridge, and proceeded so fur
in that direction that both lost their way. The prisoner,
at her request, went into a public-house to inquire their
way, and being desired to take the second turning to the
lett, they proceeded in that direction. They walked for
some time, and at length came to a narrow bridge, when
the prisoner said he was then quite aware of the neigh-
bourhood and where be was. They crossed the bridge
(Battersea, it is supposed), and on getting over the
night became dark. The prisoner took her along some
new buildings, and on to a piece of ground which ap-
peared to be laid out for building, and the place
was so dark and lonely that she dropped his arm
and refused to proceed any further in that direc-
tion. The prisoner asked her if she was afraid of
him, or if she thought be was some villain going
to deceive her? She replied that she did not think
he had any intention to harm or deceive her, and he
declared that, on the word of a man, ho would not. He
then asked her if she saw some lights at a distance, and
on her answering in the affirmative„he said it was there
his men worked, and he had to go there daily. They
proceeded a short distance further, when the prisoner,
suddenly seizing her in a violent manner, threw her to
the ground with great force. On falling she telt a severe
blow on the back part of her head, which so stunned her
that she became insensible; and on her recovering she
struggled as well as she was able to get away from him,
but was so weak and exhausted that she fainted, and on
her recovering the prisoner was in the act of lifting
her from the ground, and searching her pockets for a
smelling-bottle. She proceeded with him a short dis-
tance, when her head became so affected that she was
nearly tailing into a butcher's shop, and she did not
recollect anything that occurred until she got near
home, when she felt in a wretched and feeble state.
The prisoner then said, " For God's sake walk, if you
can ; my arms are so tired that I cannot get them
to my head, for, in fact, I hare been carrying you
for the last hour." He also asked her to have
some brandy, and said that though having no money
about him, he should make it all right by leaving some
article for its amount. She declined having any spirits,
and on getting to the top of the street where she lived,
the prisoner remarked that her bonnet was much bruised,
and requested her to take it off and put it into proper
shape. He also entreated her to conceal what had hap-
pened from her mother, and conceal her clothes, so as to
prevent suspicion, and, further, requested she would see
him on the following evening, but she refused to do so,
He then said he should pack up his clothes and start for
the country on the following morning if she persisted it:
her refusal, upon which she promised to see him, but this
was solely for the purpose of preventing his going out
of town in the morning, having determined in the interim
to make her parents acquainted with the manner in which
she had been treated. The prisoner parted with her
near the doer, and on going into the house she imme-
diately fainted.
From her replies to the question of Mr. Elliott, as to
the condition in which she found herself on her being
restored to consciousness, as well as to the state in which
she found her clothes on returning home, there could be
no doubt that the treatment which she had experienced
at the hands of the prisoner was of the most brutal de-
scription.
Mr, Humphreys, to the witness—Has the prisoner
frequently promised to marry you?
Witness—Yes, he has.
Mr. Humphreys—Well, if he is willing to keep his
promise which he always has been, are you willing to
marry him ?
Witness—lf he treated me with the cruelty which be
has done, I should be afraid to marry him.
The mother of the prosecutrix was the next witness
called, and was about to give evidence of what her
daughter bad told her on her return home, when she was
*topped by Mr. Humphreys, and her testimony was con-
fined to the shocking state in which she found her
daughter on her return home, and the dangerous state
in which she remained for
eon some days after.
Mr. Wag the
staff, e sur who examined the prose-
Mr.
catrix on the morning of the occurrence and afterwards,
deposed that when he first saw her she was labouring
under a slight concussion of the brain, occasioned by
some violent injury on the back of the head, and for two
or three days she was in a highly dangerous state. In
conclusion, Mr. Wagstaff said he had no doubt the viola-
tion of the prosecutrix had been effected, and with con-
siderable violence.
Mr. Humphreys, in reply to the charge, said the pri-
soner had always intended, and was still willing, to
marry the young woman.
Mr. ELLIOTT said he feltit his duty to send the pri-
soner for trial, and the charge against him was of so
serious a character that he did not feel justified in accept-
ing bail for him.
The prisoner was fully committed.

RESIONATIoN OF THE GOWN OF BEEAD•aTREET
WARD.—At a Court of Alderman held on Tuesday the
Lord Mayor read a letter from Alderman Hughes
Hughes, resigning the gown of Bread-street Ward. The
resignation was, after a high eulogium upon Mr. Hughes
Hughes, in which all the members joined, accepted, and
a copy of the resolution of the Court, expressive of their
great respect for his character, was ordered to be forth-
with tronsmitted to him.
