The _Milan Gazette of the 28th ult., announces
that the brigadier of carabineers, who, in 1849, ar-
rested Ugo Bassi (the priest who acted as chaplain to
Garribaldi's troops, and was shot by the Austrians),
has been assassinated at Camacchio.

The Tuscan Monitore publishes a series of regula-
tions issued by the Minister of Worship at Florence
on the 28th ult., concerning the right of censorship
reserved to the bishops by the new concordat. By
these regulations, every bishop has the right of cen-
sorship over ecclesiastical works to be published
within his diocese ; a work rejected by one bishop
cannot be approved by another, and there is no appeal
from the decision of a bishop in such matters.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)

111ArtcnEsTEE, TIIESMIY.—We have again to re-
port a somewhat inanimate state of things in our
market, owing partly, so far as goods are concerned,
to the degree in which some descriptions are en-
gaged; while it is traceable, to a much greater
extent, to the same cause, so far as relates
to yarns. But the requirement of rather
higher prices, which was made last week, is
also found to have something to do with this
quietness, standing in the way of business between
parties ho have orders to give out, on the one
hand, and such as are open to receive them, on
the other. Considering how remarkably bare of supply
the yarn market is, and how free from stock that of
goods continues to be, while the actual demand is still
good, and the prospect for the future encouraging, it
is remarkable how slow and difficult is the upward
course in prices. A settled cautiousness marks the
conduct of all parties, at present, keeping down the
spirit of speculation amongst buyers, and moderating
the demands of producers. These features, taken in
connexion with the general state of commerce, are very
justly regarded as evidences of the safe and healthy
condition of the trade of this district ; and the pre-
veiling desire is that it should not be disturbed by
any forced action upon prices. It is, therefore, seen
with satisfaction, on our Exchange, that there is that
sort of hitting in Liverpool which naturally follows
an undue advance.

The articles least in demand, in our markets, are
perhaps Indian descriptions of yarns and goods; yet,
although comparatively dull, they are steady as re-
gards value. Fine yarns are also quiet. In 30's
reeled water, there is rather a hardening in price,
while a decided firmness is maintained in the lower
counts, and a general steadiness in warps and cops.
The latter remark applies also to printing cloths, and
to the stouter makes of cloth, taken at large.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—After a long absence of
demand for goods, the expectations of our manufac-
turers have been somewhat revived by the presence of
several influential buyers, who have operated to an ex-
teat sufficient to warrant the conclusion that a resump-
tion of activity will ahortiy take place. The thrown
silk market does not exhibit any material signs of
improvement; and considering its past unsatisfactory
state, it is a matter for congratulation with the trade
that prices retain their firmness. In raw silk the late
activity displayed by
consumers in the purchase of
chinas has for the present considerably subsided, and
in the meantime the deliveries for the mills continue
satisfactory.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a dull, heavy
market, and a rather limited amount of business has
been transacted. For kerseys and coarse goods the
manufacturers are asking more money, in order to
meet the extra price asked for low-priced wools. The
wool market has been slack, and prices have been
much the same as last week's.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The attendance in our
piece hall to-day has been but slender; and scarcely
any goods have changed hands, except a few lastings,
both of the lower and the finer qualities. Yarns are
still in a greatly depressed state, and the present un-
satisfactory quotations are with difficulty maintained.
The sales of wool are moderate, as the spinners buy
only for present use, and prices have undergone no
alteration.
LEEns, TUESDAY.—The markets at the cloth halls
have been fiat both to .day and on Saturday last, and
there is not much doing to order. Business is dull
in the
warehouses, considering the season of the year.

LANDLORD AND TENANT.—According to a new
Act the tenant of a farm may remove the buildings and fix-
tures erected by him on farms,
unless the landlord should
elect to take them. The growing crops seized and sold under
an execution for debt are, nevertheless, to be liable for the
accruing rent.

(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN BE ELLIS.
This was the last examination of the bankrupt, de-
scribed as an ironmon4er, of Rotherhithe-wall, but
in consequence of inaccuracies in the balance-sheet an
adjournment was asked for.—Adjournment ordered.

IN EE WARREN.
This was the last examination of the bankrupt, de-
scribed as a miller, of Ardleigh, Essex. The accounts,
from December, 1849, to July, 1851, show the fol-
lowing :—Surpltr.s in December, 1849, 2,3241.; cre-
ditors unsecured, .973/. ; liabilities, 597/. ; mortgages
and interest, 4,553.1. ; rent of mill held on lease, ma-
chinery therein mortgaged to Nunn and Co., 176/. ;
profits, 1,790/. ; debtors good, 469/. ; doubtful, 334/. ;

103/. ; property held by creditors, estimated value,
4,4711. ; losses, 1,3811, ; trade expenses, 2,2261.;
household expenses, 143/. ; liabilities, per contra, 5971.
Mr. Barnes, of Colchester, appeared for the assig-
nees, and Mr. Norton for Ddessrs. Nunn and Co.,
bankers.

Mr. Nunn, of the firm of I\runn and Co., bankers,
Manningtree, in his examination, said the bankrupt
was indebted to their firm in the sum of 2,107/, in
April, 1851. Had, on the 15th of April, refused to
cash the cheques of the bankrupt. Went on the 18th
of April to the bankrupt's house, at Ardleigh, with
two deeds. Did not press the bankrupt to give those
securities. Refused to cash the cheques because the
account was overdrawn. Did not insist upon bank-
rupt giving security upon his property, °filly' that spe-
cified in bill of sale. The bankrupt had o,4her pro-
perty besides that specified in bill of sale, such as book
debts, consignments of flour, and a legacy from a re-
lative. The bankrupt had paid into the bank subse-
quent to the Ifith of April about 1,5001., as near as
possible; the same sum had been paid out.

IN RE DEELEY.

This was the last examination of George Edwin
Deeley, of Brunswick-terrace, Dover-road, iron-
founder. The accounts, from December, 1847, to
July, 1851, show the following :—Creditors, 877/. ;
ditto, holding security, 132/. ; debtors, good and
doubtful, 5551. ; property, 621.
Mr. LINKLATER supported the bankrupt, who
passed without opposition.

ROYAL COURT, JERSEY, Aug. 27.
(From the Jersey Sun.)
(Before the Bailiff, and Judges Bisson, Bertram, Le
Couteur, Picot, Pelgue, Le Gallais, Arthur, Le
Quesne, and De Quetteville.)
Jacques Fouquet, who was found guilty on Friday
the 22d of August, by the petty jury of St. Helier,
of the crime of murder on the person of Frederick
W. Derbyshire, on the 11th of April last, appeared
this day before the Grande Enquke of the island, to
which he bad appealed from the verdict of the petty
jury. The grand jury was composed of twenty-four
principaux of the parishes of St Helier, St. Saviour,
and St. Lawrence, and was presided over by Mr.
Francis Bertram, son of Eliss, of the first named
parish.
The reading of the evidence and other documents
concerning the case occupied the Court until two
o'clock.

Shortly afterwards Mr. Advocate MARETT ad-
dressed the jury in a most eloquent and impressive
speech, which lasted an hour and five minutes. Our
limited space will not permit us to reproduce the ad-
dress of the Learned Advocate ; it must suffice for us
to say that Mr. Maret't; made use of powerful argu-
ments to induce the jury to set aside the grounds of
premeditation of the act with which his client was
charged.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL also addressed the jury
for upwards of an hour with his wonted ability and
eloquence. He argued that the premeditation had
been ciearly and substantially proved_by the evidence
of the witnesses for the prosecution.
The BAILIFF made a very impartial and lucid sum-
ming up of the debate.
At a quarter before five o'clock the jury withdrew
to deliberate ; and after an absence of twenty-five
minutes the foreman of the jury stated that the jury
were divided in their opinion. Every member then
advanced to the Bailiff, and communicated their re•
spective opinion.
The BAILIFF, amid the most profound silence, then
announced to the prisoner that a more than sufficient
number (21 out of 24, it was understood) of the jury
found him " Guilty of the crime of murder on the
person of Frederick William Derbyshire."
The Advocate MARETT—I Will ask the Attorney-
General what are his conclusions ?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The Grand Enquete
having found the prisoner guilty of the crime of mur-
der, I have no other alternative, however painful to
me, than to conclude that the prisoner, as a punish-
ment for his crime, be condemned to be taken to the
place of execution, with a halter round his neck, and
there be strangled and hanged until death ensues, and
that all his goods and chattels, if he have any, be con-
fiscated to her Majesty, or the lord of the manor, or
to whomsoever they shall appertain—the whole sav-
ing her Majesty's pardon.
Mr. Advocate .MARETT—I had hoped
_that my
feeble efforts would have been successful in causing
the jury to set aside the premeditation of the crime ;
but since it has been otherwise, I hope the Court will
take this fact into consideration, that neither of the
juries were unanimous, and for this reason I hope the
Court will modify the conclusions of the Crown
officer, and thereby avoid the horrid and sad spectacle
of a public execution, which, fortunately, has been
of very rare occurrence of late years. If the prisoner
were sentenced to transportation beyond the seas for
the term of his natural life it would be a sufficient
punishment, and would give him an opportunity of
seeking mercy at the throne of his Maker, whom he
has offended.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having persisted in his
conclusions,

The BAILIFF consulted the Judges on the bench,
who (with the sole exception of Judge Picot, who
was of opinion that the sentence should be transpor-
tation for life) granted the conclusions of the Crown
officer.

The Bailiff and Judges having placed their hats on
their heads,

The BAILIFF addressed the prisoner as follows;
having previously ordered him to go on his knees :
" Jacques Pouquet, after a long and patient inves-
tigation, you have been successively found guilty
by two juries of the most heinous crime with
which man can be charged. Mr. Marett, your
advocate, has exhausted all the means which his zeal,
experience, and talent could suggest for your defence;
and if he has failed, it is to be attributed to the clear-
ness of the evidence brought against you • and in such
a case the law visits the crime of which you hare
been found guilty with the punishment of death.
The Court, in conformity with the conclusions of the
Attorney-General, sentences you to be led to the place
of execution with a halter round your neck, and there
to be hanged and strangled until death doth ensue,
and that all your goods and chattels, if you have any,
be confiscated to her Majesty, or the lord of the
manor, or to whomsoever they shall appertain, the
whole saving her Majesty's pardon; which sentence
the Viscount is to see carried into execution, and the
execution of the sentence is delayed for the term of
three weeks, and in the meantime you are sent back
to gaol. During the short time you have to pass in
this world, I would entreat you most earnestly to
profit by this time to seek mercy at the throne of the
Almighty, by imploring his forgiveness for the great
crime you have rendered yourself guilty of—and may
God, in his infinite goodness and mercy, have pity
on your soul !"
The prisoner rose and addressed a few words to his
advocate, which words did not reach us. He appeared
indifferent to the awful scene which had just passed,
and in which he was the principal actor. He walked
back to the prison van with a firm and unconcerned
step.
The Court rose at six o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
IVORSIIIP-STREET.

William Johnson, as the name WAS entered on the
charge-sheet, an elderly person of military appearance,
who described himself as having been a cavalry officer,
was stated to be a director of one of the most import-
taut mercantile companies in the City, and is known
to be a gentleman of extensive property at Stoke
Newington, was placed before Mr. Hammill upon the
threefold charge of being drunk and incapable of
taking care of himself, assaulting an officer in the
execution of his duty, and conducting himself in a
riotous and improper manner while in custody at the
station-house.

William Fitzpatrick, 203 N—About two o'clock on
last Monday afternoon I was on duty in °Myrtle-
street, Hoxton, when I saw the defendant on horse-
back, riding towards Hoxton Church. He was riding
in a most peculiar position, his head and shoulders
leaning back in such a manner that his head nearly
touched the animal's tail. He was decidedly drunk,
and had not the slightest control over his horse. A.
man who knew the defendant stopped the horse, and,
addressing the defendant, said, " Sir, I think you had
better stop and recover yourself," and I also advised
him to do so. The defendant, however, by that time
had raised himself upright, and went on, but very soon
got into the same dangerous position again, and I
therefore ran forward to take him into custody, but
before I could do so he fell clear off his horse, but
still held tight by
the reins. I sprang forward
to hold the horse, while some other person raised
the defendant up, and I then took him to the station
in Robert-street; but as soon as he got there he called
the inspector and sergeant on duty a set of scamps,
poltroong, and beggars, and, having tried to force his
way out of the station, struck me on my breast, but
not with such severity as to hurt me. He then ex-
claimed that he was acquainted with Colonel Rowan,
who also knew him, and that he would have the whole
of us dismissed and trounce us.
