STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The advices from the
United States, received by the Canada, instead of
promoting, have in some degree reversed that ten-
dency to recover from the depression of the earlier
part of last week, which, after Tuesday, was observ-
able both here and in Liverpool. It appears that
in the week ended August 12th, a decline of cent.
per lb..in the price of cotton, occurred at New York,
partly in cOnsfquence of a slight recession in Liver-
pool, reported by the Cambria, and partly of more
encouraging statements, from various quarters, as to
the prospects of the growing crop ; and that that de-
cline w.is but barely checked by the Pacific's more
stimulating accounts, received on the 12th inatant

from this Country. The expectation generally enter-
tained on this side, that the Pacific's advices would
have given an upward turn to prices on the other side,
has therefore been disappointed ; and this disappoint-
ment has exercised a very unfav,,nrable irfluence upon
every department of our mark. t to-day. At the same

intended operations. Sa few and limited are the

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(Before Mr. WITIIAM.)
John Henry, 20, William Walker, 16, and Frederick
ight, 20, were indicted yesterday for having stolen
a watch of the value of IPI. from the person of Tho-
mas Leak?.

Mr. Payne defended Wright.
On the 15th inst., Police-constable Reeve, A 424, was
on duty, in plain clothes, in St. James's Palk,'` on the
look out" in the crowd thst had assembled to see her
Majesty go to prorogue Parliament, and he paid great
attention to the movaments of the prisoners, knowing
Henry to belong to the swell mob, and having seen
tbem try the pockets of several individuals. He fol-
lowed them up to Buckingham Palace, where several at-
tempts upon pockets wt re made by them, bet unsuccess-
fully, and after briefly consulting together they retraced
their steps towards the Horse Gtv..rds. They passed
through into Whitehall by the Canteen and took their
station in front of the Banquet-house, where the officer,
knowing the skill of Henry as a pickpocket, placed him-
self in a position to command a full view of their opera-
tions. Henry tried the pockets of several irrsons
standing in the crowd, and at length he fixed upon the
prosecutor, whose watch he carefully lifted out of his
waistcoat pocket. Finding that it was strongly fastened
to a chain, and that he could not at that moment dis-
connect it, he very dexterously replaced it in the
prosecutor's pocket to await a more favourable oppor-
tunity when the crush was greater. Presently there
as some crowding at that spot, and he then
again slipped the watch from the pocket, but as the
crush lasted but for a moment, he had not time to unscrew
the swivel, and then fir the vcond time he returned the
Watch to the prosecutor's waistcoat pocket. As the
Royal cortege emerged from the Horse Guards there was
a great rush; and evading himself of that oppottunity,
Henry, for the third time, drew the watch from the
packet, and was in the act of breaking it from the
chain, when the officer reecho-I over his shoulder, and
laid hold of hiS ballet with the watch in it. The prose-
cutor then became aware of the liberty which was being
taken with his property, and he called " p ,Fce" lustily.
The officer said it was ail right, that he was an officer,
but the prosecutor, suspecting from his not being in uni-
form that he was one of the gang, declined to resign
the watch into his hands, Two officers in uniform
arrived the next moment, an that satisfied him, the
watch was given up, and the prisoners secured.
The prisoner Henry cross-examined the witnesses
with some tact, and in his defence he said that the watch
was accidentally pulled from the pocket by one of his
coat buttons getting caught by the chain, and singularly
enough it dropped into his hand. He was about to re-
turn it when the officer interposed.
Walker, in his defence, denied all knowledge of the
other prisoners. . _

Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury for Wright, who he
said was (as he certainly looked) " half foolish," the re-
sult of an attack of small-pox. The L:arned Counsel
then called witnesse', whose evidence showed am
Wright was very respectably connected, and that he
was of a very excellent character. He dined with his
family very shortly before the robbery took place, and it
was suggested that he had accidentally fallen into con-
versation with the other prisoners.
The jury convicted Henry and Walter, and acquitted
Wright.
Lockyer' one of the officers cf the Westminster Prison,
proved six tormer convictions sgainst Henry, wbpm he
described as one of the cleverest pickpockets of the day.
The last sent-nee imposed upon him was one year's hard
labour, and that was by this court.

such a character as Henry, whom he sentenced to be
transportel for ten yet,rs ; aril Walker was sentenced to
six months' bard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Alfred Bicolia, steward's Loy at the East India United

cum,tences :

one of the members sf .he club, a letter to post, and 2s,
to pay the postsige with. Witness gave the letter to the
prisoner, and also tho money. • The prisoner returned
and gave him 2.1., which he said was the change he re-
ceived a!tr raying the postage. From the short time
the prisoner was an tut this errand witness had his sus-
pieioes, and he qaeetiened him as to the office where he
posted-the letter. The prisoner said he posted the letter
at Chafing-cross. This was afterwards found to be false.
The letter was afterwards found in the prisoner's pas-
session.
Mr. Danbury Taylor, the Secretary, said, in- cense-
evimee of a communication made to him, he asked the
prisoner where he had posted the letter. The prisoner
replied, at Charing-cross. Witness, on learning that the
prisoner had only been gone five minutes, and being
certain that he could not have posted the letter so
quickly, asked him for his keys. The prisoner then
said he would confess he had not posted the letter, and
he pulled it out of- his pocket. The prisoner said he
paid a part of the money he received for the postage to
discharge a trifling debt he owed.
The magistrate was informed that goad reason existed
for believing that this was not the first off,nce of the
same kind, and it was on that account the present charge
had been pressed.
The prisoner made no defence, and was committed.
MARYLEBONE.
. Mrs. Teller, the wire if Mr. Adam Teller, formerly a
anaith,' engineer, and iron-founder, in Paddington, who
was abandoned by her husband two years ago, and who
has since encountered great privations, again waited
upon Mr. Long, who desired Mr. Phillips, the clerk,
to hand over to her the donations, amounting to V. 55.,
forsiarded by various teoevolent persons who had read
an account of her very distressing case.
Mrs. Teller, who is in an ill state of health, and who
was much agitated, expreased her thanks to the worthy
magistrate for his kindness and courtesy.
Mr. Lerzo said no thanks were due to him, but to the
very kind persons who had forwarded the money. He
was merely the almoner of their gifts.
Andrew Devanagh, an Irish labourer, was charged
before Mr. Long, with defrauding the London and
North- Western Railmay Company of the sum of ss. 3d.
by riding a greater distance than for which he had paid.
Mr. Thomas Barker, superintendent of the London
and North-Western Railway Company, stated that he
was instructed to bring this case before the court, not
for the purpose alone of punishing the defendant,
but to mention another circumstance that had
occurred, and nearly attended with fatal con-
sequences. The defendant and another man named
Canines, it appeared, walked from Birmingham to
Weedon, a distance of forty miles. At the latter place
they took two third-class tickets to Gayton for which
they paid 7d. each. Instead of getting out of the train
at Gayton, they came on to London, and on arriving at,
t
veiling at the rate of 35 miles an hour. On the train

lie (Mr. Barker) did not wish to press the charge, but
thought that the publicity giv, n to the ease would act as
a caution to others for the future.
The def.ndant was admonished by Mr. Lowe and
discbareed.
Daniel Dos sett was charged with committing a tres
pass upon the Great Western Reilway. The charge
having been proved by Superintendent Collard, the pri-
soner was.committed fur 14 days.
SOUTHWARK.
George Smith, a young roan, lete shopman in the em-
ployment cf Mr. Emanuel, pawnbroker end silversmith
of Southempton, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged
with being concerned in burglariously entering his em-
ployer's premises, and stealing property, consisting of
gold and silver watches, gold neck chains, gold ringr,
diamond studs, about fifty gold pins, together with a
quantity of cold and silver coins, to the amount cf 500/.
It' appeared that Mr. Emanuel's house was broken
into at an early hour of 'the morning of Thursday, the
11th ult.; and plunderrd of the property above enume-
rated. , Information of the robbery was immediately
communicated to the police at Southampton, and from
their inquiries on the spot, it was suspectsd that it was
effected by five London thieves, that number of strangers
having been observed lurking about Vie neighbourhood.
Information was also dispatched to Scotlend-yard, and
Inspector Field and Inspector Whicher of the Detective
force were employed to discover the offenders, and if
possible to trace out how the property was disposed
of. They ascertained that George Smith, the pri-
soner, had quitted Mr. Emanuel's service about a month
previotisly to the robbery, and had left Southamp-
ton fur town. Acting upon this information,the inspector and sergeant by dint of nquiry

Mr. HENRY said that as the robbery was effected at
Southampton, the circumstances attending it would have
to undergo investigation there, and for that purpose he
should direct the prisoner to be at once taken there.
The prisoner was accordingly conveyed by the train to
Southampton.
