STATE OF TRADE.

MANCUESTEE, JUNE 23 —The market continues in
the same state as for several weeks past. The demand
both for goods and yarn is languid; but prices are gene-
rally firm, and parties who are inclined to make a slight
concession, are able to do business with considerable
facility.
ROCHDALE, JUNE 22.—The flannel market continues
dull, and the business transacted has been limited.
Prices have undergone no change since last Monday. In
the woul market there has been very little doing, and
prices remain firm.
HUDDERSFIELD, JUNE 23.—Nothing can be duller
than the appearance of our Cloth Hall to-day : there is
scarcely a buyer in the market. The present uncertain
state of the wool-market is such that but few sales are
effected at any thing like remunerative prices.
LEEDS, JUNE 23.—The anticipated stillness in our
market has not been interrupted by a livelier demand
this day ; but it is generally expected business will re-
sume a more active character next month, when the
operations for the home trade generally begin. The
prospects for a good autumn trade are indeed most
cheering.—Manchester Guardian.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A gentleman,:who was supposed to be a person of high
rank, whose name, according to the station-house list,
was John Thomas, appeared before Alderman Gibbs, to
answer for the offence, as represented in the same list, of
having stolen an omnibus and hones.
The defendant had been bailed out of the station-
house on the preceding night by two persons of unques-
tionable respectability.
The driver of one of Clarke's omnibuses stated that
he appeared to charge the gentleman with having taken
possessionof his (the dtiv(r's)seat, and dris ing I uriou
from the Black wall station to the end of London-street,
at ten o'clock on Monday night, without the complain-
ant's or proprietor's consent. The defendant and some
other gentlemen had evidently come from the Blackwall
Railroad. his companions were tipsy, but he appeared
to be quite sober, and he moved from the extreme part
of the front-seat, to the place app inted for the driver,
whipped on the horses, and dashed away at a tremen-
dous pace, witness being on the ground at the thee wait-
ing for more passengers. There was danger to be ap-
prehend,d from such conduct, and witness rau up and
seined the horses, and succeeded, after a long struggle,
in which the gentleman stind him by the throat, sliook,
and struck him, on getting the omnibus into his posses-
sion.
Mr.'John Thomas--I deny the furious driving.
merely got upon the box, as my friends and I bud waited
for a considerable time for a driver in vain, and I drove a
little way in order to get the place of a coachman sup-
plied as soon as possible. I deny that there was any
furious drivingl; if there was, how could the driver have
come up with us in an instant ?
Alderman G113113—Y,,u seem not to be aware that you
are liable talk 5,4 penalty for taking the reins.
The defendant—The reins were handed to me by a

man who stood at the head of the horses. The driver
caught me by the throut in the most violent manner,
and I had no id -.‘a of a contest with him, as a matter of
cour,e. But I believe lam here upon a charge of telohy ?
Alderman GIBBS (to the driver)—llid the defendant
strike )ou ?

Thedriver—Yes, I'll swear he struck me twice ; be-
fore I had a finger upon him, he assaulted me.
The man who had the care of the horses.; confirmed the
account given by the driver, and stated that the dePn-
dant galloped the horses to the end of London-street.
Alderman GIBBS—I shall not consider the part of this
case which charges the defendant with the assault ; but
I shall convict him tor having driven with.ut a license,
and for having furiously driven, and I fine him 40s. for
each offence.

The defendant immediately paid the penalties.
Upnn being asked for his name and address, as the
driver might think proper to proceed against him for
the assault, the defendant said he resided at the Bur-
lington hotel, and that his name was nut John Thomas,
but he would answer to that name if called upon.
