THE CLOTHING AIANUFACTURES.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, MAY 30.—About an average bu-
siness has been done in foreign wools this week prices being
stationary.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, MAaO.--Saleg of =bin; wools
have been to a moderate extent ; prices are stationary. In
clothing wools we do not quote any variation.
YORK 'WOOL, MAY 29.—The show of wool to-day was
small, the' quantity not exceeding 70 sheets. Buyers, however,
were numerous. The farmers opened the Inaiket by asking
higher prices, but were obhged,to submit to a redaction. The
prices obtained were about the same as last week at which the
whole of the wool exhibited found buyers.
LsvEuroch. WOOL, MAY 29.—There is a far demand for
blanket and other low wools at very full prices. Public sales of
3,000 bales Entre Rios, Merino Buenos, Opoto, East India,
Turkey, Egyptian, &c., will take place here m Wednesday,
the 11th June.

THE TRADE or LEEDS.—There was rath . more business
done in heavy goods at the Cloth-halls on Saurday, but in all
other descriptions the market ruled dull. OD Tuesday, there
was a very fiat market for goods of all sorts ; prices, however,
are steady, and the stocks are low. Business las also been very
dull-in the warehouses dcring the wet:_x, -erv.few of .ker target
buyers having been in the town. Ihe Yoreigt ...oases are rather
BRADFORD, MAY 29.—Wool—The opeung of the mar-
kets at Pontefract and York has been madesith more spirit
than was expected, and the prices realised are beyond the
rates current here—so that we are clearly tie cheapest at pre-
sent; and yet we can only record a sluggish demard, at the
prices of some weeks past. The Colonial salmi are still pro-
gressing, and are as animated as at the first °pelting ;and not-
withstanding the large quantity brought tut 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 hampered with a bad trade, for
to sell yarns to realise cost is quite imposible ; and the pros-
pects of relief by a reduced price of wool appears quite cut of
the question. Nothing but curtailing the production appears
likely to effect a change that will at all benefit the spinners.
There are at present many unemployed slinning frames, and
it is very probable the number , will be greatly augmented.
The contracts making for June are about the same as the

been that nearly all the merchants had gone to the Grand Ex.
hibition in the Crystal Palace. Be that •as it may, this de-
partment of local manufacture has presentssd an exhibition, of
gloom, for to sell goods, even those in request, at prime cost; is
impracticable, and Orleans and Cobeurgit, if sold at el, must
be sold at a great sacrifice; for they have not for a 'mg time
commanded even prime cost.

posed that about two"o'ldocit that morning his attention
was called to several women who wore standing round
the deceased in Prince's-court, Prince's-square, St.
George's-in-the-East. Jackson was lying upon the step
of a door, quite insensible, and one of the women, named
Lewis, was bathing her temples with vinegar. The
prisoner had hold of one of her hands, and, in conse-
quence of what witness heard, ho asked him if he had
given the deceased any poison, or if she had taken any her-
self. The prisoner answered "All right, take her to the
station; she is only drank." Witness, finding that the
deceased was really unwell, obtained a cab, and with the
assistance of two constables she was placed in it and
removed to the London Hospital. On her arrival at that
institution the deceased was found to be quite dead. The
prisoner was afterwards taken into custody, and, in
answer to questions witness put to him, he said he was
unacquainted with the deceased, and that ho had never
seen tier until that night. Witness afterwards made
some inquiries and ascertained that the prisoner had en-
tered the Rose and Crown public-house in St. George's-
street in the company of the deceased shortly before she
was discovered insensible. Witness proceeded to the
Rose and Crown and examined the glasses and measures
which stood upon the bar. He discovered in one of the
glasses a tablespoonful of liquid similar to spraCe and
water. He tasted it and found it exceedingly sweet and
very insipid. Witness took charge of it, and handed the
glass and contents to Mreßench, the apothecary of the
London Hospital, for the purpose of being analysed. The
witness added, that he had since been informed that the
prisoner had cohabited with the deceased for some time
past, and that they had been charged at that court to-
gether with uttering counterfeit coin.
The prisoner denied that he -knew the deceased, and
also asserted that ho never entereclthe Rose and Crown
public-house with the woman.
The prisoner then asked the witness several questions,
and in answer to them the sergeant stated that the land-
lord of the Rose and Crown public-house had been to
the station that morning and identified the prisoner as
the man who entered his house with the deceased. The
liquid in the glass had a very strange taste.
Richard Paine, police-constable No. 198 H, said he was
on duty in St. George's-street that morning, when ho saw
several women round the deceased, who appeared quite
insensible. The prisoner was standing by her side, and
be said that she was his wife. Witness asked him why
he did not take her home, and he replied that he could
not, as she had taken poison. Witness then inquired
where she had obtained the poison, and the prisoner said
that he did not, know; but afterwards said he was not
obliged to tell him.

Prinee's-court, Prince's-square, said sle was up late that
morning, and shortly before two o'clock was alarmed by

strangled: She went to the door and saw the deceased
sitting
_upon the step of a door, a short distance off.
The deceased was moaning much, and the, prisoner was
calling her "My dear Mary," and asking her what
she had taken. The deceased replied faintly, " I haie
done it. Oh, my child!" The prisoner told her several'
times to put her fingers down her threat and she would
then bring it up. He also said, "Rouse yourself, there's a
good creature; this will get me into trouble." The pri-
soner, who appeared intoxicatekahoek and dragged her
a short distance and on reaching the last house in the
court she fell down. Witness followed them, and the
