ferred suppressing this obnoxious passage, and
took their departure, fiftten in number, in two car-
riages, under the protection of an escort of National
Guards as far as San Salvario, where the latter
were relieved by the Carabineers. The fathers car-
ried all their money with them, besides a change
of clothes! their other property was consigned to
the charge of the economate. The income of the
convent is estimated at 32,0001. Several papers were
seized, among which the autograph letter of
Monsignor Franzoni, peremptorily forbidding the
fathers to administer the sacraments to Chevalier
Santa Rosa, unless he signed a retracta-
tion, several copies of which were also found.
There was, besides, some correspondence which had
passed between the Archbishop and the convent on
the subject, and an authentic copy of the well-known
circular of Monsignor Franzoni. The place of the
friars was immediately occupied by secular priests,
that there might be no interruption in public worship.
The National Guard and military in the meantime pre-
served order in the city. Monsignor Franzoni, baying
been aummonded by the Government to give up his
see, and having refused, was taken on the same day
to the fort of Ft nestrelle, in order to preclude the pos.
sibility of his disturbing public tranquillity again.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Advices from the United
States came to band this morning, showing that
the weather had become more favourable for the
growing crop of cotton, and that prices had conse-
quently receded to the quotations current on the
17th ult. The accounts differ, in some degree,
from different districts ; and there are wide dis-
crepancies between the opinions of various parties
as to the prospects of supply ; the private letters
being generally more sanguine as to quantity than
the printed circulars. The effect 072 our Exchange
has been an increased perplexity in people's judgments
on this important subject ; and, in the earlier part of
the morning, it was expected that we should have a
somewhat drooping market. Sellers were found steady,
however, to their previous terms ; and the general
firmness was strengthened by an early telegraphic re-
port to the effect that a good business was going on in
the raw material at Liverpool. In yarns the day's
transactions have not exceeded a moderate amount;
but both the home consumers and the continental
merchants have supplied their more immediate wants,
with less of hesitation than was anticipated, and, for the.
most part, without any advantage in the conditions, as
compared with what they could do before. The Rus-
sians were active buyers, at high rates, for delivery
not later than the 20th or 25th of October ; but the
India houses are still standing aloof. Forgoods, there
is an increased and a more general inquiry ; and
sales are effected with rather less difficulty than they
were, at the quotations which have of late been
hardly obtainable. Tbis statement applies to shirt-
ings, and the various descriptions of printing cloths,
except low 7-Bths, as well as to the lighter domestics.
On the whole, a tone of cheerfulness has prevailed,
which was not observable at the date of our last re-
port; and it is pretty evident that nothing but a
slight difference in price stands in the way of more
considerable operations by the India houses, and other
classes of buyers, than have been effected for several
weeks back.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been a good
demand for flannels at this market to-day. They
were eagerly bought up early in the morning, and,
the supply being under the average, the market was
soon over. In wools the demand has been limited,
owing to the advance now asked; but the trade ge-
nerally is in a healthy state.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have to report an
improved disposition for business on the part of the
manufacturers of this town, some houses displaying
considerable activity in their preparations fur the
ensuing autumn trade. The throwing trade
continues much as reported for some time
past, producers proceeding, hoWever, in the mean-
time cautiously, as there must be a consider-
able advance on thrown silks, before a steady business
can be calculated upon. The raw silk market is ex-
tremely firm, with an upward tendency, strengthened
by actual scarcity of certain qualities, now, and
likely to be, in demand.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been very
little change in our market since our last report.
There has been a fair trade doing in the Cloth Hall,
and low goods continue to have the best sale. An
average amount of business has been doing during
the week in the warehouses.

lieurax, SA:ruanAr.—there was about an ave-
rage attendance in our Piece-hall to-day, and a
pretty fair inquiry, chiefly for fancy goods. The
demand for yarn, both for home manufacture and for
export, but principally the latter, is still animated,
and the quotations exhibit considerable firmness.
There is nut a large amount of business doing in
wool ; and, as the stocks in the market are heavy,
some descriptions are rather easier to buy.
LEEDS, TIIESDAY.-0 wing to the small supply of
goods brought to the Cloth Hall, there has not been
much done in the market, but still large deliveries
are being wade to order, which keeps stocks very low
in the maker's hands. A good steady business con-
tinues to be done in the warehouses.

MADEMOISELLE LIND.-LIYEAPOOL, TUESDAY.--
As our readers are aware, Mademoiselle Lind is to give two
concerts in this town previous to her departure for America.
The first takes place at the Philharmonic-hall, on Friday
evening, and the second on Monday. On the following
Wednesday the " Nightingale" will set forth on her Trans-
atlantic trip, on board the new American steam-ship At-
lantic, and many travellers have secured berths in order to
accompany the popular songstress across the ocean. She is
expected to arrived in this town from London by the express
train on Thursday, and she will attend the rehearsal the
same evening. M. Benedict, who was with Mademoiselle
Lind at Baden, writing to the committee of the Philharmonic
Society, says that he never heard her sing better than she
did at the concert given in that town on Tuesday last week.
The enthusiasm was boundless, and the receipts 6.,01. The
whole of the tickets for the Liverpool concerts have now
been di.posed of, and are selling at a premium. The specu-
lators are in many cases realising a profit of 50 per cent. It
is estimated that there will be about 2,600 persons present
each evening, and many distinguished persons from a dis-
tance are expected.

ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE OF CONVICTS.—Two con-
vial', one named John Purvis and the other James Blamir,
between three and four o'clock on Monday afternoon, suc-
ceeded in climbing over the wall of the yard and the wooden
fence of Commodore Henry Eden's garden into George-
street, Woolwich. Two police-constables from the dockyard
gate immediately gave chase, and they were both captured
near the Marino Barracks, and within twenty minutes were
returned on board the Warrior convict hulk.

LONDON VD,ITATION.—The Bishop of London has
intimated to the clergy of his diocese that he will hold visi.
tations in St. Paul's Cathedral, on Saturday, November 2,
Monday, November 4, Wednesday, November 6, and Thurs-
day, November 7. Four years have elapsed since his Lord-
sh►p's last visitation.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 13.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN RE L. ALEXANDER AND co.
His HoNoun gave judgment this morning on a dis-
puted question in this old bankruptcy, the proceedings
under which are still lingering on. Mr. Morrison, a
director of the Britannia Life Insurance Company, had
petitioned the court, setting forth that the company had
advanced 2,1001., in 1845, to Mr. Bardgett, one of the
bankrupts, who was also a director of the company, for
which 350 of the company's shares were deposited with
Mr. Morrison as security. There was now due, as
principal and interest, 2,3081. The prayer of the peti-
tion was that the company might be declared equitable
mortgagees of the shares so held; that they might be
sold on the Stock Exchange, and the proceeds !applied in
the discharge of their debt. This was opposed by
the assignees, on the ground that the property
in the shares was in them. The case of the Lancaster
Canal Company bad been much relied ou in the argu-
ment, where it was ruled that shares held by bankrupts,
if not fully transferred, passed to their assignees. In
this case there had been no actual transfer, nor had it
ever been contemplated, beyond an agreement on the
part of the bankrupt, to transfer when called
upon to so. The whole thing was in fieri; and
when the loan was made, the entry in the company's
book contained no mention of Mr. Bardgett's name. It
was clear the intention was that the ownership and dis-
position of the shares should remain in Mr. Bardgett,
who continued to receive the dividends, and to vote as a
proprietor. The case of the Lancaster Canal Company
had never been overruled; this case came entirely within
that rule. He must, therefore, hold that the property
vested in the.assignees, and the result would be that the
petition would be dismissed with costs.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 12.
(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
THE CASE OF STARVATION.--DVe brought up Our
report of the trial of Sarah Bubb for the murder of Maria
Hook in yesterday's paper up to the departure of the
late.t available train on Monday. We now resume the
report from the point where we broke off yesterday.]
Mr. Humble, surgeon, and medical officer of the
Westbury-on-Severn Union, deposed that he first saw
the deceased in November, 1848, when the prisoner and
Ann Apperby brought her to him. He examined the
child, and prescribed a slight aperient for her, directing
that she should have port wine and norishing food. He
found that she was afflicted with prolapsus ani, a disease
not uncommon to children, but not of a dangerous cha-
racter. In 1849 (January) he again saw the deceased
at her father's house. She was huddled up over some
ahscs, and was naked with the exception of a small rug
over her shoulders. There was no fire in the room, and
the child seemed emaciated from want of proper food
and clothing; made a post mortem examination of the
body, and found it in an excessive state of emaciation • it
only weighed 61bs.— (Sensation in the court.) A child
newly born would usually weigh from &lbs. to 81bs. This
child was four years old. It appeared about the usual
height of a child of that age, but was a complete skele-
ton. Death from starvation would present such ex-
ternal appearances as the body of the deceased Maria
Hook presented. The body internally was healthy;
the lungs were terfect, and there wet e no symptoms of
Lonnarpirtihoen.
