" But to this thanks-offering we add—we will not
conceal it—at the same time the urgent admonition that
Germany ought not to cease bearing a portion of the
burdens of the war, which have fallen to our lot during
a period of two years to endure. For it is Germany's
cause equally which is carried on here, her honour
which is guarded, her freedom upheld and defended, and
her rights which are sealed with blood.
Extraordinary assistance is required to conduct the
war to a glorious issue.
" It will be Germany's sacred duty to send us the aid
we require, while it is yet time for it. A people count-
ing the number of 40,000,000 can do great things if
united.
" Our fate will be an earnest of Germany's future.
May she raise our country from the low position of the
past and present! May the Almighty grant this, for in
His hands are the destinies of all nations!"
The President, in closing the sitting, gave a short
recapitulation of its labours. He said—
" We have adopted measures that for the time will im-
pose heavy sacrifices on the country. We will pay, we
will arm, we will fight, if an honourable peace is not ob-
tained. Firm as the German oak, firm as the Schleswig-
Holstein beech, is the confidence of the Duchies in Ger-
many. The last intelligence from the army is not
favourable, but it shall not depress us. Schleswig-llol-
stein for ever!"
The Chathber separated with a Koch for the
"Fatherland."

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)

MANCHESTER, TIIESDA Y..--The improved accounts
of the Bombay market, in regard to yarns and goods,
which were received on Friday last, have led to an
increase of business for that quarter. Some rather
considerable sales of shirtings have been made, on
slightly better terms than were before practicable,
and an advance of lid. to 3d. per piece is now de-
manded. We mentioned in our last that the eastern
merchants were doing more in yarns, especially in
the finer numbers. To-day this is extended to
lower counts, and the quotations are raised id. to
id. per lb. since this day week. The continental
buyers have proceeded cautiously, and to a very
limited extent ; and the home consumers of the lower
and middling counts have still held back from pur-
chasing. Influenced, however, by the hardening ten-
dency of the raw material, and in some degree encou-
raged by what is going on for India, the producers of
bundles, warps, and cops exhibit greater firmness than
they did a week ago, and, in general, are more diffi-
cult to deal with than they were then. The same
causes affect the manufacturers in the same way
as the spinners ; and, though not able to sell freely,
they hold more steadily to their prices than of late,
for other cloths, as well as the India descriptions.
The reports are good from the Leipsic fair ; and all-
accounts go to show a highly satisfactory state of
trade throughout Germany, holding out an encourag-
ing prospect as to the demand for English yarns,
though the high range of prices may continue to in-.
duce the manufacturers to work upon as little stock
as possible, which, however, must cause their opera-
tion to extend through the winter, more than they
have usually done.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has not been so good
an 'attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and
'the'besintitit thibsitcteci Weill 'of a More limited-
n'aftiiet than ual -.'' This 'Fferchlmts haie been offering
less prices for .flahills, and in some instances it may
have been accepted. There is a good demand fin.
kerseys, and the manufacturers find a ready sale far
them at last week's prices. There is rio change in the
wool market worth reporting.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The aspect of business
here remains unchanged, with a moderate inquiry
for manufactured goods. We look, however, for a
better demand ere long ; as, taking the last two yeais
for index, the winter season has proved more active
than any other part of the year. In the thrown silk
market a more general inquiry prevails, with a better
disposition on the part of buyers to make purchases.
The taw silk market is very firm, the only feature
worth notice is the declaration of public sales to take
place in London on the 23d inst., at which most of
the recent importations of China and Bengal silks are
expected to be brought forward.
fIUDDE RSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been a

falling off in the business of our market to-day, the
demand for goods has not been very active, owing to
the continued wetness of the weather. The goods

that have been principally called for have been stripes
and plaids of large pattern, for home consumption.
The fancy manufacturers complain of the inactivity
of their branch of business. The wool market is not
so firm as before, a rather lower figure being asked
for some qualities.
SATUEDAY.—The demand for worstO
goodscontinues somewhat languid, and the manti-
lecturers produce cautiously, except to order. A
little inquiry begins to be made for fancy goods for
the next season. The yarn trade is pretty much as
it was. The spinners are fully- employed on old
orders; and the shipping houses .will not enter into
any new contracts, except at a reduction. Much de-
pends on the result of Leipsic fair. the prospects of
which are, at present, favourable. There is not much
doing in wool, and no alteration in prices.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Since our last report there is
little change to notice in the trade. There has not
been much done at the Cloth Halls, and the woollen
trade generally is rather quiet. There is a fair busi-
ness doing in the warehouses for the home trade; but
in the shipping houses trade is rather dull.

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The deaths registered in London in the week end-
ing fast Saturday were 893. In the corresponding
,week of ten years (1840-9) the average was 970,
which, if a certain proportion be added for supposed
increase of population, becomes 1,058 ; the present
rate of mortality, therefore, continues comparatively
low, and the decrease of. last week amounts to 165
deaths. The class of zymotic or epidemic diseases.
exhibit in this return 195 fatal cases. This is a lower
numbet than in any corresponding week since that of
1846, when there were 179 ; in those of the three
following 'years the deaths from epidemic diseases
were respectively
318, 430 and 608. Last week
small-pox was fatal in 10 cases ; measles in only 7 ;
,
hooping cough in 27 • scarlatina in 31. A death
from the last -mentioneicause occurred in Mill-street,
St. James, Bermondsey ; and Mr. Martin, the regis-
trar, observes, that out of ten deaths which he regis-
tered during the week, six-, arising from various
diseases, occurred a few yards of the
tidal ditch, Jacob's Island, " yet the intolerable
nuisance remains unabated." The mortality from
diarrhan and dysentery continues to decline; the
deaths, which in a week of August rose to 155, have
now fallen to 47. It is worthy of note that 13 deaths
' occurred in the workhouse, Whitechapel (North sub•
district), all with one exception between the 27th of
September and 4th October; and of these, 7 were
'caused by diarrhoea, 2 by fever, and the remaining 4
by various causes. Seven deaths from cholera (five
of which were among children) were registered last
- week—a number which is rather more than has been
usual lately. The following are the cases in detail:—
In St. Mary, Paddington, at 7, Hall-place, on the
30th of September, a grainer, aged 19 years, " cholera
spasmodica (48 hours), subsequent fever (3 days)."
In All Souls, Marylebone, at 38, Union-street, on
the Ist of October, the son of a bricklayer (deceased),
aged 5 years, " bilious cholera (2 days), convulsions
(8 hours)." The child was healthy up to the time of
attack, which suddenly commenced with bilious
vomiting. -
I In the same sub-district, at S 9, Foley-street, on
the Ist of aetober, a coachmaker, aged 44, " rheu-
matic fever, aggravated diarrl- ma, cholera."
In Somers-town, at 61, Brill-row, on the 24th of
September, the son of a plasterer, aged 20 months,
"English cholera" (post mort.)—lnquest.
In Islington West, at 6, Payne-street, on the 27th
of September, the daughter of a bricklayer, aged 15
months, "cholera infantum (1 day)." •
In St. Mary, Strand, at 2, White lion- court, St.
' Clement Danes, on the 2clof Octoberia,:ithe' son of a
' blacksmith, aged 6" years, ""cEolera 81 lours):

I❑ Guy's Hospital, on the 3d of October, a sailor-
boy, aged 14 years, " cholera." He had been
brought from the ship Belle, opposite Hay's Wharf,
St. Olave's.

Besides the ordinary causes of mortality, a few
cases of a special character, extracted from the re-
turns of the week, deserve to be mentioned. Two
men and a woman died from intemperance, besides a
ca-e of suicide during insanity, which was the result
of the same habit. Another case of suicide is reported,
in which a boy, whose age was only 12 years, hanged
himself when insane, and was suspended about 10
minutes. Death did not ensue till three days after-
wards. A boy of 8 months died from anwmia (5
weeks), following haemorrhage from lancing the gums.
Vaccination was fatal to a child by producing erysi-
pelas. Two persons died of tic douloureux.
The birth of 680 boys and 722 girls, in all 1,402
children, were registered in the week.

Bench of Magistrate.)

Eleanor Bennett, 22, was indicted for having
threatened the life of Isabella Gritce Mouutford, the
schoolmistress at Bethnal-green workhouse.
The defendant, when called upon to plead, for some
minutes took no notice of the question, but looked
about the court in a determined manner; at length

The officer in the dock called out in her ear,
"What have you to say in answer to the charge; are
you guilty or not guilty ?" The defendant—" Oh I
I'll tell her. I'll give it her again if I can only get
at her, even if you give me three years for it. That's
what I'll do. That's what I've got to say. What do
you think of that, old fellow ?" and at length seeing
the prosecutrix at the end of the dock, she stooped
down, and was endeavouring to pull off one of her
shoes, no doubt with the intention of throwing it at
her, when the officer laid hold of her. She threw the
officer's arm from her, and bega❑ to mutter, in a
rapid manner, "I'll give it her. I'll teach her to
interfere with me. I'll give it to her if it's twelve
months to come."

The officer—Did you hear ? Are you guilty or
not guilty ? The defendant—l shan't tell you. I
can tell you this, if I go to prison, when I get out I
will do it again.
All efforts to induce the defendant to plead were
entirely unavailing, and at length a plea of not guilty
was ordered to be taken, and the case proceeded.
Mr. M. PRENDERGAST thsn stated that he was in-
structed to appear for the prosecution by the parochial
authorities of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, and in
the course of his address stated the main facts of the
case as they were afterwards detailed by the wit-
nesses.

Miss Isabella Grace Mountford stated that she was
schoolmistress at St. Matthew, Bethnal-green work-
house, and on Sunday morning, the 29th of Septem-
ber, the defendant Was assisting the storekeeper in
weighing out the dinners in the dining-hall. Witness
happened to lift up the top of a desk, and there saw
a plate of meat and potatoes covered over with an
apron, and inquired to whom it belonged. Defendant
said that was no business of hers (witness), became
very violent in her temper, and took up a plate,
threatening to split her head with it. She was, how-
ever, prevented from carrying her threat into execu-
tion. This was at about twenty minutes past one
o'clock. Being thus prevented from striking her, the
defendant said that she would remember the witness,
and do what she (defendant) intended when she was
not aware of it. At about a quarter before two
o'clock she followed the witness with a tin pan in her
hand, and aimed a blow at her head, which would
have taken effect but for the interposition of a Sunday

tutor to the school, who came up and held her arm.
She was then given into custody, and the following
day taken before a magistrate, who committed her for
trial.
The defendant here made a rush from the end of
the dock towards the witness -box, exclaiming "I'll
stick a knife in her. HI can't at one time, I will at
another."
Mr. Presdee,', the tutor to the school, corroborated
the evidence of the first witness.
The defendant again burst into a violent rage.
At_ the desire.' of the 'Learned •;Chairinan, Mr.
Hedger, the surgeon of the workhouse, was ordered
to be called ; and, in answer to questions put to him,
said the defendant was occasionally very irritable, but
he could not say that she was in an unsound state of
mind.
Mr. Sawyer, the officer of the House of Correction,
Coldbath-fields, said the defendant had been frequently
in that prison, once for felony, and the other occasions
for assaults and wilful damage.
The master of the workhouse said he had obtained
a list (which he handed in) of seven convictions of the
defendant before various magistrates of the metropolis
for wilful damage.
The defendant again made another attempt to take
off her shoes, but was prevented by the officer in the
dock with her from doing so.
The jury having found the defendant Guilty,
Tne Learned CHAIRMAN sentenced the defendant
to be imprisoned for one month, and then to enter
into recognizances, herself in 201. and two sureties
of 101. each, to keep the peace towards. all her
Majesty's subjects, and to Miss Isabella Grace
liountford in particular, for the term of twelve
months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

John Collins, a carter in the service of Mr. W.
Bloomfield, a carrier in the City, was re-examined on
a charge of stealing a truss of cloth, worth 1201.
A cartload of parcels, including the stolen pro-
perty, was intrusted to the prisoner for delivery.
The truss of cloth was taken from the cart on its way
to St. Martin's-lane, and the prisoner said he was
unable to account for it. A reward was offered fur

the detection of the thief, and this brought forward a
young man, living as a domestic servant at 13, Lin-
coln's Inn-fields, who said that he saw the cart on the
east side of Lincoln's Inn-fields (where he had no
right to be) in the middle of the day in question ;
that it was brought to a stand by the driver, while a
cab drove alongside of it ; and that he then saw a
man move a havy parcel from the cart into the cab,
afterwards getting on to the box, and proceeding at a
rapid rate into the City.
The suspected cabman, named Thomas Drewe,
was placed at the bar at the present examination, and
identified by the servant. He declared he was not in
the square at all on the day of the robbery; but this
was contradicted by a second witness, a labouring
man, who saw him drive out of it.
Both the carter and the cabman were remanded for
further examination.

Richard Shall and Hannah:Shail, his mother, were
charged, the former with stealing, and the latter with
receiving, a quantity of silk, cloths, &c., the property
of Mr. Hewett, linendraper, in High Holborn.
The male prisoner had lived in the prosecutor's
service for ten years. On Tuesday he was suspected
of appropriating some linen dusters and a piece of
silk, and, a detective officer being sent for, he was
narrowly watched. He left the shop in the evening
with a parcel under his arm, and was followed by
Sergeant Thompson to Shadwell, where he resided,
and where the officer took him into custody with the
articles in his posiession. Next morning the officer
went to the prisoner's house, at 25, Spencer-street,
and found a quantity of stock, since identified by Mr.
'Hewett, which the prisoner's mother said had been
brought home, from time to time, by her son.
The manager of the business said that the prisoner
had represented his mother as in possession of a hand-
some annuity; it now appeared that she had been de-
pendent upon him for her support, and both had lived
in a good style.
Mr JARDIN E remanded the prisoners, accepting bai
for the mother.

MARYLEBOIVE.
James Worthington Livesey, a man of gentlemanly
exterior, described as a law student of the Inner
Temple, was placed at the bar before the sitting ma-
gistrate, Mr. Broughton,
on a charge of robbery.
Mr. Davies, solicitor, of Dorset-street, attended for
the prisoner.

The prisoner was, in default of procuring bail, re-
manded for a week.

R,
STREET.
SHmlPcile aged German, and his
Gasper W
wife, Deborah Wasner, were placed at the bar before
Mr. Arnold, charged upon suspicion of having caused
the death of their infant child, six weeks old.
Police-constable Gifford, fl 89, stated that in con-
sequence of information he received that the prisoners
were believed to have murdered their child, whibh
had died under sudden and suspicious circumstances
on the preceding day, he repaired at one o'clock that
morning to their house in George-street, White,
chapel, and, upon entering a lower room, observed a
coffin. upon the table containing the dead body of an
infant. He questioned the female prisoner as to the
time and circumstances attending its death, when she
told him that it had been affected with violent purg-
ing for two or three' days, which had terminated
fatally about eight o'clock on the preceding morning.
She further stated that she herself had administered to
it a teaspoonful of castor oil, but that no medical gen-
tleman had been called in to attend it. He then
asked the husband if he had lately had any quarrel
with his wife or others in the house, but he denied
that anything of the kind bad taken place.
.On
examining the person of the child he observed a small
bruise at the side of the head, upon which there was
an abrasion of the skin about the size of a sixpence,

and both prisoners were then conveyed to the station.
Sarah Bigmore, a married woman, living next door
to the prisoners, stated that shortly after twelve
o'clock on Tuesday night she was disturbed by a
loud uproar in the prisoners' house, and heard screams
of " Murder" in a woman's voice, accompanied by
the exclamation, " Oh, you are murdering the child!"
After listening a few minutes, during which he heard
the voice of a man in vehement altercation with the
woman, the latter commenced crying bitterly, and
observed, in an agitated manner, " Oh, you ---,
you have killed my child !" Both the voices were
soon afterwards hushed, and nothing further occurred
to attract her observation.
Samuel Bigmore, the husband of the last witness,
fully corroborated the facts deposed to in her evi-
dence, and added that, on the afternoon of the same
day, observing that the shutters were up, he asked
the male prisoner, who was standing at the door, if
his child were dead ; the prisoner answered that it
was, and witness then said that he had heard a strange
noise during the night, and he hoped he had not
" muddled" the child out of its life ; to which he
answered, " Oh, no; it was .only my wife, who caused
a slight disturbance."
Police-constable Button, H 215, the officer upon
the beat, also deposed to having heard the noise and
altercation in the prisoner's house at the time in

question.
Mr. ARNOLD said that the case was one of much
suspicion, which required the fullest investigation, and
ordered the prisoners, who remained perfectly silent
throughout the proceedings, to be remanded for a
week, to await the result of the post mortem exami-
nation of the infant's body.
SOUTH W ARK.
John Baker, late gunroom steward on board the
Teaser screw steam-vessel, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Long, charged with stealing a quantity of
wearing apparel and other property belonging to some
of the officers of the vessel.
Mr. LONG remanded him for further examination.
