MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PICKING POCKETS TOTTERIIIII-COGET-ROAD..—
Thomas Macarthy and Thomas Murray, two rather artful-
looking fellows, the former of whom said he "did nothing"
for his living, and the latter that he occasionally worked by
tho water side, were charged with attempting to pick
pockets in Tottenham-court-road.
Robinson, 151 E, proved seeing Macarthy, who was
closely followed by Murray, make three or four attempts,
and after following them as far as the Hampstead road, he
got the aßsistance of a constable of the S Division, who,
11 tliokdev. h. imself, was in plain clothes, and took them into cus-

Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said he know Murray as
being at this court charged with being found in a house,
and ho believed he had served a long period of imprison
ment also. . _ _

Macarthy said it was all false, and if tho officer saw him
make several attempts, he should like to know why he did
not take him when he made the first attempt.

Murray said he had 'never been at the court before.
Mr. Bingham said he should remand them, and ordered
proper inquiries to be made concerning them.

Numerous complaints have been made of late of pick-
pockets in the above place, notwithstanding the vigilance
of the police, the victims being generally females.

DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—This afternoon a fire broke out in
the first :floor of the premises occupied by Mr. Marshall,

STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, NOV. 23.—The demand for all useful
goods continues active, and most departments are
busy. There are many orders on hand, which are
now fast completing. The operatives are fully
employed. In the country hosiery districts
trade is in as satisfactory a state as could
be desired. There continues an improved tone in
the wool market ; yarns are without material
change in price ; and spinners are well engaged.
NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 23.—Most branches of the
lace trade continue in a dull state; a shade More has
been doing this week, and a little more is expected
to be done when the American buyers, who usually
visit the market at this time of the year, have
given their orders. No material reaction is, how-
ever, expected until after Christmas. Plain
Mechlin nets are in slight request, and a few
orders for muslin have been received. The silk
lace trade continued dull, and there are no appear-
ances of any revival. Stocks of.both silk and cot-
ton are low, and only as much machinery is
employed as will produce for what is actually
wanted. In hosiery the home trade is quiet ; in
the fareign department there is an excellent busi-
ness doing ; orders on hand are now completing.
Yarns are dear, and silk continues very high in
price.

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON
CONVICTION.
The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of
DU BA RRY's invaluable HEALTII-RESTORINCI REVA
LENTA AR ARICA. FOOD led to an investigation, and,
upon application in 1554 for protection, tho High Court of
Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred 'Hooper
Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling
any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro-
prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above
reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor-
mation of any breach of the injunction. An intelligent

ham, scoured the country night and day in search

of the murderer.

The neat that was seen of

him was about one o'clock on the 3d inst., a couple
of hours after the commission of the dreadful act,
when Mr. Thomas Shears, while riding along the

turnpike-road, observed him going Cowards— the
13tandford toll-gate, at a_distance of four or five

miles from Ashcombe. He appears to have pro-
ceeded thence to Wareham, across Dorsetshire, into
Hampshire, through the New Forest,_ and thence

to llythe, where he was apprehended by Ser-
geant Cook, an active officer of the Hants constabu-
lary, on Friday morning, the 11th inst. The man
must have travelled in the night-time to elude the
vigilance of the police who had turned out to effect
his capture. En route he disposed of a pocket
handkerchief to a labourer named Green, at Dole's
Ash, Piddletrenthide, Dorset, at 12 o'clock on Fri.
day, the day after the murder. A fustain waist-
coat ha sold to another man, accounting; for its wet
condition by asserting that he had slpt under a
haystack during the rain. At Church Knowle, on
the following Monday, he disposed of another
waistcoast and a necktie to John Jefferys, who
gave him 2.5. for them. All trace of him was then
lost on the Tuesday, :Wednesday, and. Thursday.
On the Friday morning Police-sergeant Cook ob-
served him on board the steamer at Hy the, a vil-
lage on the south-western bank of the Southampton
water. The officer crossed to Southampton with

Manzano in the steamer, and when he attempted to

land on the quay he detained him, and conveyed
him back to the police-station at llythe. The
clothes which Manzano was wearing proved to be
those which had been stolen from Trowbridge's

cottage. The prisoner gave his name as Serafin
Nlanzano, and in reply to the sergeant said he came
from Boulogne, pointing to a figure 4 in a book
when asked the day. Information having been

forwarded to Hindon, Superintendent Harris, and

LONDON RIFLE BRIGADE. •
A meetinr, of the council was held at the Mansion-
house yesterday, the Lord Mayor in the chair. The
Lord Mayor announced that the Corporation of
London had presented the brigade with 100 guineas.
Among the contributions were—the Worshipful
Company of Mercers, £5O, with liberal contribu
tions from the Wax Chandlers' Company, Ott
Leathcrsellers Company, the -Armourers' and Bra-
ziers' Company, and others. His lordship stated
that the band fund had received numerous addi-
tional contributions; that the Crystal Palace Com.
pony had forwarded, through Mr. Alderman Rose,
£2l to that fund, of which Messrs. Smith, Payne,
and Smiths, Messrs. Bradbury,. Greatorex, and Co.,
Mr. G. F. Routledge, and Messrs. Hanbury and
Lloyds were liberal supporters. His lordship added,
" I have just received 20 guineas from Messrs. Currie
and Co., Cornhill,. £lO from W. M., per Capt. M
Hicks; £lO 10s. from Messrs: W. andll. Thomson

and £5 ss. from Mr. B. Muller. The Lord Mayor
said he was much gratified at being able to state
distinctly that the Government would shortly be in
a position to hand the brigade a rifle for the use of
every volunteer in the regiment, and that the long
Tnfields would be withdrawn and short ones with
sword-bayonet substituted as soon as practicable.
Above 700 gentlemen had applied for enrolment.
Mr. Alderman Rose read a letter he had received
from Mr. S. Hanson, of 47, Botolph-lane, stating
that he had agreed to bear the entire expense
of the outfit of 25 volunteers—gentlemen en-
gaged in his establishment. It was stated that

I. Routledge (W: and T. Devas Minchener,
and Routledge) had made generous proposals to
their young men to join the brigade. The Lord
Mayor stated that he had given directions that the
Guildhall should be got ready for the drill with
every despatch, and that it should be suitably

PARLIAMENTARY REPORTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Will you allow me to correct an error in
your report of my speech of last night, where Mr.
Bright's name is introduced instead of Mr. Hors-
man's ? In expressing my dissent from the course
pursued by "my hon. friend near me," in passing
compliments upon the French Emperor, after having
argued on the assumption that he would invade
us, I referred to Mr. Horsman, who was sitting
below me, and not to Mr. Bright, who was at my
side. The mistake was a natural one, and in asking
for the first time, I believe, for the correction of
any reported speech of mine, I cannot, as a now
rather old member of the house, refrain from bear-
ing testimony to the marvellous accuracy with
which our speeches are reported.—l am, Sir, your
obedient servant, RICHARD COBDEN.

THE ITALIAN CONFEDERATION.

The Diritto of Turin states that King Victor
Emmanuel, when subscribing the preliminaries of
peace, added, " except the clauses relating to the
Italian confederation." The Diritto adds that the
Sardinian Ministry is resolved at all hazards to
reject the confederation proposed in the convention
of Villafranca, and that any Minister who should
assent to a league with Austria and the other
princes of Italy would basely betray the country
and deserve capital condemnation.

COMMERCIAL.

The total export of tea is 56,987,0001 b., against
75,738,8001 b, last season, the decrease being 18,758,8001 b. ;
and..the export of silk 70,319 bales, against 60,610 last
season, or an increase of 9,709 bales, and the outgoing
steamer takes for Southampton, 881 bales. To Marseilles
tha, export of silk amounts to 8,428 bales, and the Norna
takes nearly 445. The export of tea to he United States
amounts to 30,056,7001 b.
Soon after our last report there was a cessation of the
active demand for shirtings therein noticed. Fancy cotton
goods are nearly as before but with less inquiry, and woollens
'continue dull. Metals are rather better. Straits produce
generally may be reported as improving. Sugar is falling in
price, (!s cargoes from the producing countries in the south
are arriving. Rice remains nearly the same ; the wet wea-
ther is favourable for transplanting, though prejudicial to
the wheat crop, now nearly ready for gathering in.
EXCHANGE AND BULLION.—A moderate business has
been done for this mail in other than bank paper, for which
the demand has been'very limited. Rates opened at 6s. Bd.

THAMES,

STRIKE OF GAS WORKMEN.-Mr. Hu.rnphrey.i, jun.,
solicitor, who was accompanied by the manager of the
Great Central Gas Works on Bow Common, applied to
Mr. Selfe for summonses against five men who were the
principal ringleaders in a strike of 50 firemen, stokers, and
scoop drivers employed upon the works who had struck for
increased wages, and upon their demands not being com-
plied with suddenly left their work, and put the gas com-
pany to great inconvenience. Mr. Humphreys dwelt upon
the misconduct of the men in throwing up their engage-
ments without notice, and said the chairman and directors
of the company were determined to enforce the
law. The men were liable to imprisonment
and hard labour for three months for absenting
themselves without leave and without notice before the
period for which they were engaged expired. The com-
pany were determined to make an example of the ring-
leaders as a warning to others.

Mr. Selfe doubted whether labourers employed in gas
works came within the meaning of the words of the 4th
Geo. 4, cap. 31. The matter had been repeatedly discussed
before judges and justices, as to whether all labourers, how-
ever employed came within the meaning of the words " la-
bourers or other persons."

Mr. Humphreys, jun:, said this was a case of vital im-
portance not only to gas companies, but to the public gene-
rally. If men employed in gas factories could leave their
work suddenly and without notice the metropolis
might be left in total darkness from sunset to
sunrise ; the operations of trade suspended, and
great mischief done to persons and property. The words
of the Act included servant in husbandry, artificer, calico
printer, handicraftsman, miner, collier, keelman, pitman,
glassman, potter, labourer, or other person. He contended
the magistrate had jurisdiction, and ought to issue the
summonses.

Mr. Selfe asked if there 'was any contract in writing, to
which Mr. Humphreys answered in the negative, and said
the Act applied to " contracts in writing or not in writing."
Mr. Selfe said he would grant the summonses against
the parties complained of, and that the case was one de
mending a thorough investigation. Any objection to the
jurisdiction could be discussed upon the hearing.
Mr. Fletcher, solicitor, of Arbour-square, Stepney,
watched the case on the part of the 50 men who have
struck for wages, and who had previously instructed him
to sue the Gas Company for four days' wages due at the
time the strike took place.
