STA7E OF TRADE.

BLACKBURN, Sept. 9. With rather less than an
average attendance of spinners and manufacturers
on 'Change to-day, we have kid an improvement
in the amount of business done. The downward
tendency of prices for yarns —fully F. to id. per lb.
on the top rates of Wednesday last—has caused
buyers to give orders pretty freely, from a general
conviction that quotations will hardly get lower.
Not much has been done in cloth. Altogether, with
a quiet market, there is a firm feeling and a strong
under-current.

BRADFORD, 10th.--The wool trade remains in-
active. The transactions are very restricted, and
confined to purchases either to supply pressing wants
or to assort stocks. The demand, restricted as it is,
is still chiefly confined to the best deep grown wools,
other sorts being quite neglected. The recent quiet-
ness in the cattou market has tended to impart a
marked degree of languor to this market. Not-
withstanding the dulness prevailing, holders of wool
generally show great confidence in the future, and
maintain quotations with remarkable firmness, de-
spite the efforts of buyers to obtain a slight conces-
sion. Though prices are not quotably changed,
they show a slight tendency
downwards, this being
more apparent in wools of the inferior class. There
is a steady business doing in mohair and Alpaca, at
the rates recently current. There is no appreciable
improvement in worsted yarns. A steady business
is still doing on home account. The export trade
is still inactive, merchants generally confining their
movements to making inquiry and obtaining quo -
,ations, or, in some instances, to making offers,
which arc so low, that they fail to tempt the spinners
negotiate. Though spinners generally are, well
3mployed, yet the long absence of new orders tends
Lo make in my anxious fur a revival of trade.

[ADVERTISEMENT.[—HoIIoway's Pills.—The Law of
Lite.—The present is a fitting opportunity for drawing
attention to the few points on which health hinges. All
impurities must be expelled from the system immediately
their presence is discovered. Wear and tear must be com-
pensated by suitable food, which, when thoroughly di-
gested, must enrich the blood with its nutritive elements.
Holloway's pills have proved themselves competent to deal
constitutionally with those infirmities which descend from
parents, which often mar the brightest prospects and throw
a constant gloom over youth. These pills purify both the
solids and the fluids of the body, and by that salutary pro-
cess cause every organ to perform naturally its proper
function and strengthen every nerve for its pros/ duty.

THAMES.

DARING ROBBERY ON THE RIVER.--John Carter,
aged 40 years, and Miles Scotchmen, 51, lighter-
men, in the employ of a Mr. Vokins, were brought
up on remand before Mr. Paget, charged with
stealing 281bs of raw sugar from a barge on the
river.

Mr. Wontner, jun., conducted the prosecution.
➢lr. Charles Young defended Carter.

It appeared in evidence that a fortnight ago two
barges, one named the Mary Ellen, the other the
George, were lying in the river off Wap-
ping. The head of the George was close to the
stern of the Mary Ellen. A Thames police
galley, manned by Inspector Firman and
boat's crew, was passing by, and some movements
going on in the two barges convinced the Thames
police officers that a robbery was going on. The
George contained a cargo of sugar, and Scotchmen
was sitting ou the tiller. Carter, who was in charge
of the Mary Ellen, was seen to leave that barge, go
on board the George, and return with a- bag con-
taining something bulky. He passed close to
Scotchmen as he was carrying the bag across the
deck of the George. Inspector Firman went on '

board the Mary Ellen and asked Carter what
he had brought on board from the George, to which
he replied, " Same coals ; they are in the cabin."
The Inspector went into the cabin and found there
a bag containing 281bs. of raw sugar, but no coals.
Scotchmen, finding that a discovery of the robbery
in which he and Carter were jointly engaged had
taken place, absconded, and he was at large a week
before he was taken into custody. On being told
the charge against him he made no reply. The mats
containing sugar on board the George were exa-
mined, several were broken open, and part of the
contents were gone. The sugar in the mats and
the sugar in the bag removed from the George to
the Mary Ellen were exactly similar.

Seotclimen made no defence, and Mr. Charles
Young said he should reserve the defence of the
other prisoner. _ . _

Mr. Paget committed the prisoners for trial.
An application was made to admit them to bail,
which was opposed by Mr. Wontner, jun., as far
as Scotchmen was concerned, but not objected to
as regarded Carter, who had been in the employ-
ment of Mr. Vokins for many years and had
hitherto conducted himself well. Scotchmen was
sent to prison, and Carter was liberated on bail.
