THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, MAY 30.—About an average bu-
siness has been done in foreign wools this week, prices being
stationary.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, MAY 30.—Sales of combing wools
have been to a moderate extent ; prices are stationary. In
clothing wools we do not quote any variation.
YORK WooL, MAI- 29.—The show of wool to-day was
small, the quantity not exceeding 70 sheets. Buyers, however,
were numerous. The farmers opened the market by asking
higher prices, but were obliged to submit to a reduction. The
prices obtained were about the same as last week, at which the
whole of the wool exhibited found buyers.
LIVERPOOL WOOL, MAY 29.—. There is a fair demand for
blanket and other low wools at very full prices. Public sales of
3,000 bales Entre Rios, Merino Buenos, Oporto, East India,
Turkey, Egyptian, &c., will take place here on Wednesday,
the llth June.

THE TRADE or LEEDS.—There was rather more business
done in heavy goods at the Cloth.halls on Saturday, but in all
other descriptions the market ruled dull. On Tuesday, there
was a very flat market for goods of all sorts ; prices, however,
are steady, and the stocks are low. Business has also been very
dull in the warehouses during the week, very few of the larger
buyers having been in the town. Ihe foreign houses are rather
improving.
BRADFORD, MAY 29.—Wool—The opening of the mar-
kets at Pontefract and York has been made with more spirit
than was expected. and the prices realised are beyond the
rates current here—so that we are clearly the cheapest at pre-
sent; and yet we can only record a ,'uggish demand, at the
prices of some weeks past. The Colonial sales are still pro-
gressing, and are as animated as at the first opening ; and not-
withstanding the large quantity brought eut this sale, buyers
are found for all, and at prices that have induced the importers
to offer a quantity larger than was at first announced. Yarns
—The spinners are regularly haaipered with a bad trade, for
to sell yarns to realise cost is quie impossible ; and the pros-
pects of relief by a reduced price of wool appears quite out of
the question. Nothing but curtailing the production appears
likely to effect a change that will at all benefit the spinners.
There are at pressnt many unemployed spinning frames, and
it is very probable the number will be greatly augmented.
The contracts making for June are about the same as the
month now closing, and a decidedy losing trade it is. Pieces
—This has been a week of unive;:ayblohduaurvglelsn,ess ; the report has
been that nearly all the merchant had gone to the Grand Ex-
hibition in the Crystal Palace. Be that as it may, this de-
partment of local manufacture his presented an exhibition of
gloom, for to sell goods, even those in request, at prime cost, is

TRADE OF MANCHESTER, NAY 29. —Although we have
not had a large business, the steadiness of prices at the com-
paratively low basis to which tie fall in cotton has enabled
spinners and manufacturers to lover their quotations, has had
the effect of bringing buyers into the market yesterday and
a fair extent. Both in yarn

consumption, an increased
demand has been experienced, Jut it was not of a character
that would admit of an advance of price. For India a fair busi-
ness was done in forty-inch shiriings, and also in madappol-
lams. In the latter cloths especially, some good orders were
given out, and yarns of India stunts and qualities were in de-
mand- Domestics were more s4eable than of late, and the
home-trade houses, as well as extorters, appear to be in a better
position than for many weeks NA.

for theE Npurpose C
E of
LONDON AND
SOUTHWESTERN.
A special meeting of thisr company was held yester-
day,ltaAt tltale NinelTEl;33lNtiTuxEhaLii
, f
considering the draught of üßill for authorising certain
Extension deviations in the Taw Vale Railway, and for
other purposes.
Mr. W. Chaplin, my., in the chair.
The Secretary having read the advertisement conven-
ing the ra,etieg,
The CHAIRMAN said that the objects of the Bill he
had to submit were approved of at fiformer meeting on
the 25th of October last. The Bill had passed the
House of Commons, and was now before the House of
Lords. It was necessary, in order to comply with the
standing orders of the Ifni-Ise of Lords, that the pro-
prietors should express their opinion on the Bill. He
would give them a brief explanation, as there might be
some proprietors who were not present on the former
occasion. The London and South-Western Com-
pany held 7,080 shares of 201. each . in the 'raw Vale
Company ; by this Bill the nominal amount of the
201. shares would be reduced to 161. each, represent.
ing capital to the amount of 113,2801., of which the
company had paid the sum of 70,0001. At present the
sum was not producing anything, but by the arrange-
ments they had specified in the Bill this property would
become productive, as well as the additional amount
they would have to pay. There would be no occasion to
make calls on the South• Western proprietors on ac-
count of the shares he!d by them, because the Taw Vale
Company had agreed to accept iron rails in lieu of
money, and thus lighten their liabilities «ith regard to
that undertaking. He believed that no one doubted the
wealth and ability of the gentlemen who h.:l agreed to
take a lease of the Taw Vale line. He was happy to
say that Lord ForteLcua and other landed proprietors
were in favour of the scheme. Under these circumstances,
be thought they would be enabled to carry out the un-
dertaking, and that the proprietors would have no ob-
jection to sanction the Bill.
Some discussion ensued. After which,
The CHAIRMAN moved " That the Bill the approved,
and that the : directors be authorised to consent to each
alteration in the Bill as Parliament might think fit."
This was carried unanimously, and the meeting
separated.

brother lay at the time.
Mr. Games attended for the protiecution, and from his
opening statement, and the testimony of several wit-
nesses, it appeared that on Sunday, the 2d of March
last, Mr. William C. Wynne, whci kept a large pie-shop
next door to Astiey's Theatre, in -the Westminster-road,
died after a short illness, and the prisoner and his brother
John were soon railer in attendance!, and had been in and
out of the bedroom of the deceased between that and the
Tuesday morning, when the widow of the deceased
missed from a drawer, in which it had been kept, a
greasy bag, in an apartment wheire the deceased died.
I'he key of this drawer had been missing from the death
of the deceased until the Tuesday raorning, when it was
found by the widow in the pocket of a waistcoat the de-
ceased last wore, and which was in ,he bedroom; so that
the prisoner had ample opportunities of fleeing and
using it and replacing it in the p0,....ket. The widow of
the deceased, in her examination, said that in the same
drawer from which she had misses I the greasy bag, with
the 150 sovereigns, she found a rat her clean bug contain-
ing 45 sovereigns. She had rem on to suspect the pri-
soner from the first as being the 'erson who had stolen
the bag, and she sent fur him arid told him so, upon
which he demanded the name of the person who as
the author of her suspicions, but s ho refused to tell him.
He also made use of threats tower( Is her of only giving
her her ,thirds of his brother's pre, perty and putting the
case into Chancery. On the event ng before the prisoner
and his brother John called at her house, when the latter
insisted on her signing a paper 'to the effect that she had
accused thelarisoner of stealingthi 150 sovereigns, end
also charged his (John's) wife wi th having received a
portion of the stolen money. 1 Nitness said she had
every reason to suspect the prisons r, but denied that she
had accused his (John's) wife, and John not being satis-
fied with this went for a constable and insisted upon
being given into custody. Witne as, in the presence of
the constable, said that the prisoi ier was the only per-
son she suspected, and gave him into custody.
James Wynne, a brother of the prisoner, said he was
in the bedroom of his late broths r when his body was
removed from the bed and put into a coffin. While this
was being done by the undertake T's men he distinctly
saw his brother John leaning over I he drawer from which
the money had been stolen, with his hands placed near
the lock and a handkerchief haneing down in front, so
as to conceal the lock itself. Be also said. that imme-
diately after he had witnessed this, he saw his brother
John hand something to the pris over, which the latter
kept concealed by placing both his hands behind, under
his coat tail.

Mary Ann Womsley, an intelligent little girl of 13
years of age, the niece of the pro iecutrix, said that on
the evening of Tuesday, the 4th of March, she went into
the shop of her uncle John, and sviw the prisoner there.
After leaving the shop she looked as at the window, and
saw the prisoner with a greasy bag in his hands, from
which he took several sovereigns and placed them on
the counter before her uncle Juhr; and his wife. This
circumstance she did not mention to her aunt for some
time after.

The prisoner denied the charge', and said he should
be able to show that he had not been near his brother's
on the evening in question.
The prisoner's brother John, Wao was in court, here
said, that nothing would have be era heard of the present
charge, had not a gipsy, by whc m she had her fortune
told, mentioned some nonsense about the robbery.
The prosecutrix admitted that while passing over
Battersea-fields, in company with a female friend, a
gipsy pressed her to have her fc,rtune told, and after
much persuasion she consented. The fortune-teller told
her, among other things, that she had lost a deal of
money lately, and that a dark icaan and a fair woman
were concerned in taking it.—(Laughter.) The gipsy
also told her to be cautions not to, sign any paper, and
this she admitted influenced her :iomewhat iu not sign-
ing the paper before mentioned.
Mr. NORTON had no doubt the prosecutrix had been
robbed of the money, and rewarded the prisoner to a
future day.
