LIVERPOOL, Nov. 7.—There was a good attendance
of town and country millers and dealers at our Corn
Exchange this morning. We experienced a heavy de-
mand for wheat, and full prices were paid; indeed, for
superior samples of white a small advance was obtained.
The better qualities of American flour likewise com-
manded 3d to 6d per barrel more than on Tuesday, and
a fair quantity taken for shipment, and into the interior.
Indian corn was not so much inquired for, but there was
uo change of price. Oats were slightly better. No al-
teration as regards oatmeal, barley, beans, or peas.
NEWBURY, Nov. 6.—To-day's market has been well
supplied, although not largely, with wheat, the quality
and condition of which are generally good. The de-
mand has been pretty active, and a fair clearance
effected at fully the rates prevailing last market day.
Barley, a large supply, and in brisk request, at rather
advancing rates; in some instances is per qr advance
was given, and most of the supply cleared off. Beans
and peas, short supply, and is per qr dearer. Oats,
moderate supply, and in good request at late rates.
EXETER, Nov. 7.—Cattle—There was a good supply
to-day both of cattle and sheep, especially the latter.
Fat beef was a little better worth, 7s 9d to 8s per score
having been given. Some prime steers were sold at 121;
)arreners from 4s 6d to 5s per score; cows and calves
were from 8/ to 121. In sheep there was a slight ad-
vance. Prime wethers fetched 5d per lb; owes 4id;
lambs from 5d to sid; store pigs 5s per score. Pork

barley 3s to 3s 4d; oats 2s 3d to 2s 4d; fine flour 27s to
28s per sack.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 7.—The market
continues is a very dull state, and prices have further de-
clined is per cwt; buyers aro still very cautious in their
operations, and do not seem disposed to stock themselves
even at the present low rates. The refined market is
steady. For rum there has been rather an improved de-
mand, at former prices.

adce at our market to-day. Wheat, best home growth,
offered at 36s to 375; barley, 253 to 265; oats, 14s to 15s

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
ENGLISH WooL, LEEDS, Nov. 7.—Sales of combing
wools this week have been small, and have been strictly
limited to a supply of the immediate wants of the manu-
facturers. Prices are quoted the same as last week, but
with the tendency in favour of the buyer. Low and
middle clothing wools are scarce and in good demand at
firmer prices.
FOREIGN WOOL, LEEDS, Nov. 7.—We have had only
a dull market again for foreign wools this week. Prices,
however, remain firm, the advance quoted in our las
week's report being still steadily maintained at the pend-
ing London sales.
LIVERPOOL WOOL, Nov. 6.—The imports of the
past week consist of 47 Lisbon, 96 East India, 10 Italian.
50 Egyptian. There is a fair demand for fine clothing
wools, but middle and low descriptions continue dull. A
cargo of 360 bales East India wool has just been lost
at sea.
TRADE Or LEED3.•--We scarcely ever bad less busi-
ness done at this Beason of the year than has been the
case at our cloth-halls on Saturday and Tuesday, the re-
port of the advance in the price of wools at the sales not
having the effect of stimulating the merchants to pur-
chase. On the probability of an advance on cloth, busi-
ness has been unusually dull, the season considered, in
the warehouses during this week.
TRADE Cr LEICESTER.—The unsettled state of the
price of workmanship for straight-down hose has caused
a great depression in that branch, and led to nearly a
total cessation of work, many hosiers declining to give
out until prices aro settled. In wrought hose a better
business is doing, though not so good as usual at this
season. Yarns continue dull of sale. The little doing
in wool is at firm prices.
BRADFORD, Nov. 6.—Wools.—The market here does
not show any symptom of improvement in the demand
for any kind of combing wools. All seem in wonder
and anxiety as to what may be next expected, for to buy
none are willing, whether with stock or without. The
staplers appeared to expect that the spirited buying of
Colonial wools would give a tone of confidence, but that
appears to have no effect. Yarns—The business doing
in yarns is certainly small, and the transactions confined
to immediate delivery. No one seems inclined to enter
into engagements for distant delivery. The production
continues to be daily curtailed, and from the whole dis-
trict the same cheerless tidings are received. Some large

Pieces—The • business during the week has not shown
any feature of increased activity,
and the stocks, in the
manufacturera' hands, are somewhat increasing, b
fast as last year at this period, and ,ut not so

and fancy goods; the former are 47 made in this
district, and not in Lancashire, for the
of ruinous price has
driven them on to other classes goods adaptable to
their looms; and for some months
several large houses
have bean engaged in making b arages for the American
market. This has prevented mousselin eines being
made " •
ng
made to stock; and perhaps for many years this branch
of the trade has not opened with so small a
stock
hand. From the cheapness of worsted yarns, it is more
on
than probable the manufacturers of this class
of goods
de
will be busy, and prevent the supply of goods being
elsewhere, which are the legitimate make of this district.TRADE OF MANCHESTER, NOV. 1. The
improve-
ment of the cotton-yarn and cloth-market, so far
as firm-
ness goes, perceptible on Tuesday, has been felt to-day;
and though prices are low and unremunerative, a fair
yarns
suitable amount of business has been done. In
suitable for the German and Mediterranean markets,
orders have been placed that will keep spinners engaged
for several weeks to come. The spinners whose yarns
have a reputation for quality, have been able to main-
tain a fair price through the late depression in the
market, and they are now well engaged for as many
orders as they have been willing to undertake. A good

tainly faithful.
Mr. J. B. Aspinall, the barrister, was also examined—
He was present on the occasion of Mr. Whitty's ap-
pearance before Mr. Ramshay, and it struck wit-
ness that the judge was exceedingly angry, and
very much out of temper. Never saw a judge on
the bench deliver judgment in such an agitated manner
before. The judge was exceedingly violent, and
his violence was entirely uncalled tor. Mr. Simon,
the barrister, was treated with the greatest pos-
sible violence by the judge. (Mr. Ramshay, who
was sitting immediately under the witness-box, here
became much excited, and threw his pen down on the
table with considerable violence.) Mr. Aspinall pro-
ceeded to say that with the exception to which he re-
ferred, he had not a word to say against Mr. Ramshay.
The latter gentleman here rose, and made some obser-
vation which was not heard; the witness, addressing
the Noble Lord on the bench, said, " Mr. Ramshay
says I have nothing to say for him now, my Lord; I
have to say that he behaved with great courtesy to me."
Mr. James Macdonald, surveyor, deposed that when
the bailiffs came for Mr. Whitty he was at that gentle-
man's office; and on the Oicers saying they had come
to bring him before the judge of the County Court, wit-
ness asked if Mr. Ramshay was having another banquet,
and wished Mr. Whitty to go to it. The bailiffs said
" No; they had come to arrest Mr. Whitty." Mr.
Whitty said ho did not choose to go, and they said,
" Well, we must take you, for he is going on like a
raging bull at us." Witness asked them if they had a
warrant, and they said they had not. He then said
they must be mad to come for a man like Whitty with-
out a warrant, and the judge must be madder than them
to send them. _ _

Vv
Dr. Macintyre was next examined, and corroborated
the testimony given as to the violent demeanour of the
judge on the 27th of September.
John Jones, a native of North Wales, deposed to the
facts of his committal for contempt by Mr. Ramshay.
It would be absolutely impossible to convey any idea of
the effect produced by this witness, who it will be re-
membered, was sent to Lancaster Castle for putting on
his hat in the ante-room of the court. The Earl of Car-

lisle manifested a deep interest in the poor fellow's nar-
rative, which he detailed with a simplicity and pathos
at once affecting and ludicrous. He had been ordered
into custody for not paying a debt of 205.; and on get-
ting into the waiting-room he put his hat on; but before
ho had taken two steps a man came and "grabbed"
him. The witness suited the action to the word, and
seized hold of Dr. M'lntyre, who was sitting near him,
to exemplify the manner of his arrest. On being taken
before the judge, ho said that ho had no intention of
doing anything wrong, and was very sorry if he had
offended his Lordship, but the judge said the people
of Liverpool were continually " contempting" him, and
ho would make an example of those who were guilty of
such "it was a hard word," said the witness, "but
I thought he meant something dreadful." He was sen-
tenced to pay a fine of 53., or au additional imprisonment
of seven days in Lancaster Castle. He said he was a
poor man and had only a shilling, and hoped his Lord-
chip would be merciful as he meant no offence, but the
judge still sentenced him to Lancaster Gaol.
Lord Carlisle—What, after you had twice apologised,
my man?
Witness—Yes, my honour, and after taking me to
Preston, the bailiff missed the train, and kept me
in
Preston all night and all day Sunday, and when I was
discharged from Lancaster Castle I had only Bd. left,
and had to walk all the way back to Liverpool.
His Lordship manifested great distress—(annoyance
would be too weak a word)—as Mr. Rsmshay, at
the conclusion of the witness's evidence, borrowed
half-a-sovereign from Mr. Therburn, the barrister, and
presented it to the witness. Just previously, Mr. Ram-
shay had interrupted his counsel, to the mortification of
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, who said, "If Mr. Ramshay
would be advised by
me, he would take a horse and go
into the country until this inquiry is over." To Mr.
Monk his Lordship, said, allusion to Mr. Ramshay's
interruption, that, to say the least, it was very disorderly.
This morning the examination of witnesses was re-
sumed. _ _

Mr. David Evans, of Liverpool,
solicitor—Was soli-
citor for the Guardian Society. Had occasionally prac-
tised in the County Court for his own clients. On the
25th or 27th of September in the case of "Roster v.
Mercer," which was an action for rent, Mr. Rime, so-
licitor for the plaintiff, proved that a quarter's rent was
in arrear. Witness called five witnesses for the defence.
The cause had been tried before a jury, and a verdict
given for the defendant; a new trial was applied for, and
after evidence had been received on both sides, Mr.
Ramshay re-called the plaintiff, and after having ex-
amined him for three-quarters of an hour, he addressed
the jury in a long speech, altogether in favour of the
plaintiff, urging all he could against the evidence which
had been adduced for the defendant, and concluded by
calling upon the jury, in mercy to the defendant, to find
a verdict for the plaintiff; " for, he said, I have the
power of granting a new trial a hundred times."
Mr. William Duckworth, a merchant, of Liverpool,
was examined—Ile was present on the 29th of Sep-
tember on the examination of Mr. Whitty, in the Liver-
pool County Court, when the conduct of the judge ap-
peared to be wholly unbecoming and exceedingly inde-
corous. He seemed to be labouring under the influence
of great excitement and strong passion. He refused to
take evidence in favour of Mr. Whitty, and altogether
acted in a most partial manner. A witness who said he
was not struck, but merely collared, was prompted to
say that Mr. Whitty, jun., held his fist in his face,
and many other suggestions emanated from the judge
entirely uncalled for, and in witness's opinion grossly
improper. 00l Town
Mr. Samuel Holum, a member of the Liver
Council, and a resident for 50 years in that town, de-
posed that on the 29th September he went to the County
Court, in consequence of there being groat excitement
on 'Change, and witness went from a feeling of curiosity.
At that time he was very much prejudiced in Mr.
Ramshay's favour, but he soon found that continual in-
terruptions took place between the bench and the bar;
and Sir George Stephen, who was Mr. Whitty's advo-
cate, had repeatedly to sit down in despair. When he
turned to pass sentence on Mr. Whitty his conduct was
very undignified, and there was a degree of ferocity in
his countenance such as he had never seen in a judge
or a magistrate.
Captain Cook, superintendent of pilots, described the
applause which took place in Mr. Ramshay's court on
the occasion of Sir George Stephen saying if an unau-
thorised person were to enter his house without a war-
rant, he would shoot him, as " a clap of cheering like
electricity." He came forward on account of having
received a circular from the solicitor to the memorialists,
and considering the conduct of Mr. Rauashity to be very
undignified, and entirely unbecoming a judge.
Mr. Thomas Quick, examined by Mr. Atkinson—l am
superintendent of the Liverpool police force. On the
afternoon of the 29th of September I was in the County
Court. I witnessed the burst of applause, after which
the judge directed the bailiffs to bring before him some
one who had caused the interruption. Ho appeared to
be excited, and very much surprised at the interruption.
He was very angry. Subsequently the bailiffs were
fined for not obeying the judlie's order. Two other
persons were also fiued. I heard Mr, Earashoy sen-
