MANCHESTER, AUGUST 12.

Since our last report no material alteration has taken
place in our market, either as to demand or prices.
The market, however, looks fully as healthy as it has
for some time past. In power-loom calicoes a slight
advance has taken place. The demand for cotton
yarn still continues good, but it is difficult to obtain
for a large quantity-prices equal to those of last week.
In heavy goods little or nothing has been done, and
upon the whole the market is flat. We have had
through the week a greater influx of buyers for the
country trade than for some time past ; we cannot,
however, learn that they have made extensive pur-
chases ; indeed a want of real money seems to place
a limit to their operations. Until there is a better de-
mand for the home trade, we shall certainly not have
any improvement in prices. Notwithstanding this,
the raw material has experienced a trifling advance,
which must arise from a determination of the im-
porters no longer to go on making sacrifices of their
property.

MANCHESTER BRANCH BANK OF ENGLAND.

It is now no longer a matter of doubt as to the

street,, the property and town residence of Samuel
Greg, Esq., have been purchased for that purpose,
and a more suitable' situation could not have been
selected. Much praise is due to the individual in thus
relinquishing, upon the most honourable terms, for
the public good, premises which have been occupied
by the family for more than half a century.

[MORNING POST.]

The repeated and urgent solicitations by which
the mercantile classes continue to assail Ministers,
Sir order to induce them to depart in some degree
from the well onsidered principles which have
been thought to forbid the application of any
direct and immediate measures for the assist-
ance end relief of the commercial and manu-
facturing world, lead us to the re-examina-
tion of those principles, and of the practi•
Cal question, whether in the actual circuit).
Stances they could without impropriety be re.
lazed. The soundness of the general principle,
that the direct interference, of Government in
the affairs of_ commerce, whatever immediate
benefit may be expected from it, riffords
precedent of a most dangerous and pernicious
tendency, is not disputed ; it is only con.
tended that giving the greatest importance
to the general principle, there is yet enough,
in the special circumstances—in the imperious
exigencies of the crisis, to suspend or over.
rule its authority. It cannot' however he con-
cealed, that there are also on the other hand
special circumstances in the crisis, or rather in
the (wises that have prodneed it, which are auxi•
liury to the force of the general principle, and
tend in this particular instance to swell both
the number and the magnitude of the dangers
to he apprehended from its relaxation.—
There perhaps has never existed a commer.
cia I crisis which admitted of such a clear, distinct,
and unquestionable derivation, from causes with
which the proceedings of Government as such
were so entirely unmixed, from causes.founded so
exclusively on the free agency and the undirected
conduct of individuals. None of the special cir-
cumstances arising out of the antecedent conduct
of Government, which have in former instances
served as the warrant or the apology for inter-
ference, are to be found In the present ; and the
absence of all sllCll,circnmstau ces would therefore
in the present case give to the precedent of inter-
ference, allowed on all hands to be a bad one,
a more extensive range and a more unqualified
power. Nlinisters may therefore well hesitate to in.
team); it is no visionary apprehension that their
interference now ntight afford encouragement
to the [future excesses of speculation. it would at
best be a very questionable policy to check the
workings of retributive and corrective calamity,
altlioagh, like every general correction adminis-
tered by events, it confounds in its operation the
innocent and the guilty.

rrns PUBLIC LEDGER.]

• The adjourned debate on Mr. Ellice's motion,
,for referring the Petitions of the Distressed
Silk Weavers to a Select Committee, was
.last night resumed. Mr. Baring opened the
discussion, and in an Able speech, of con..
siderable length, advocarN rho cause of the Pe_
titioners, and commented in a powerful manner on
the course of policy at present pursued by his
Majesty's. Ministexs. The Honourable Member
blamed the Government for not attending to
the cries of the distressed Manufacturerti„ and
abate a little of the system which they had. adapt.
ed, rather than by persevering, in their thee.
mica! projects, increase the misery under
which a very numerous class- of the community
at present laboured. Mr. C. Grant replied to
thelion, Member for Taunton, and defended the
measures of Government., which, he contended,
did not in the most distant wanner operate to ag-
gravate, much less to cause, the existing distress
among the Spitaitiewa population. Mr. Canning
also defended the measures of Government, and
declared most unequivocally that Ministers, from
A conscientious conviction that those measures
were calculated to promote the best interests of
the country, had determined to .persevere in them.
After a long discussion, the. house came to a
division, when. Mr. Ellice's motion for referring
the Petitions ,to a Committee was lost by a majo.

impression was corroborated, by a purchase of

price gradually ascended to 774. About 11, there
was a re-action, which brought down the mar-

" 'ro the Right Hon. the Lords Spiritual asul Temporal of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Par-
liament assembled,
" The humble Petition of the Chancellor, Masters and Scholars
of the University of Cambridge,
" Shewth—That your petitioners continue to be deeply con-
vinced that the permanent existence of Slavery is inconsistent
with the principles of British law, of sound policy and justice,
and no less repugnant to the dictates of humanity, than to the
spirit of the Christian religion.
" That your petitioners regard with the liveliest feelings of
Pgratitude the resolutions which were unanimously adopted by
arliament in 1823, for the purpose of effecting the gradual
abolition of colonial slavery, and, in the mean time, of mid-
gating its evils.
" That, entertaining a high sense of the ability, the promp-
titude, anti zeal with which his Majesty's Ministers have la-
boured to put in force these parliamentary resolutions, they
cannot forbear to express their regret, that the measures of his
Majesty's Government have not been met by a corresponding
spirit on the part of the colonial assemblies.
" That your petitioners, humbly pray your Right Hon.
House to persevere in such measures, as, in its wisdom, it shall
edge best calculated to bring the principles of those resolutions
into full effect.

" And your petitioners will ever pray, &c."
The following Gentlemen were ordained by the Lord Bishop
of Lincoln, in Saint Mary-le-hone Chapel, London, on Sun-

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Pottery Mercury of 'Wednesday. )
Trade is not quite so
,good as we could wish in the Pot-
teries; we mean that it is not improving, and are afraid
that the ensuing season will be a very trying one to all
classes of manufacturers, artisans, and workmen. This
state of depression, however, is not singular, for accounts
from Manchester, Leeds, and most of the manufacturing-
districts, state that there has been a great falling off during
the last month or six weeks. How to reconcile this.
present state of trade every where with the various flat-
tering accounts recently published in the newspapers, we
know not ; and must only suppose that a temporary glearrs
of improvement has been mistaken for the full sunshine of
prosperity. Still, however, we hope that finally this,
stagnation in manufactures may disappear, and that full and
weighty orders may speedily put all those concerned, mas-
ters, workmen, &c. into complete and permanent employ-
ment.

MURDER AT LEATHERHEAD.

It appears that the constable who first apprehended the
suspected persons, omitted that most essential part of 'his
duty, namely examining the whole of their persons and
luggage, in order to ascertain whether there was any pro-
perty or article therein belonging to Akehurst or his house-
keeper, Even the tools with which Page worked at his
trade, were overlooked. In fact, so little knowledge of
the business of " thief aking," was displayed on the pre-
sent occasion, that Grassthith left town again yesterday
morning for the purpose of minutely examining every
article in the possession of Page and, Mary Ayresi The
magistiates of Union-Hall directed the whole of his tools',
to be brought up to town, in order to discover whether he,
had such a weapon amongst them that was likely to have
inflicted the wounds which were observable on the skulls
of the murdered persons, The surgeon who examined the
bodies, would be enabled to describe accurately the weapon
with which the blows were inflicted. _ _

In the course of yesterday a letter was received from
Maidstone, addressed to the magistrates of Union-Hall,
stating tliat d man nick-named Screw," who it will he
recollected gave some important information to the officers
on the subject of the murders, will be in town immedi-
ately. The man will attend at the police-office on the
examination of Page, as the magistrates there conceive
there is still considerable suspicion attached to him respect-
ing the murders.

DESPERATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Yesterday two young men and two young women were
brought from Acton to Marylebone Police-office, in the
custody of John Williams, a constable, charged upon suspi-
cion with having, on Tuesday night, robbed a person of
sixty sovereigns upon the Brentford-road, and treitied him
with great cruelty. Upon being placed at the bar before
Mr. RAwLINsON, the prisoners gave their names Samuel
Oakmgham, Isaac Dint, Mary Ann dance, and .11fary
Ann Page.
Williams deposed, that at half-past ten o'clock on Tues-
day night, he was sent for to the Red Lion public-house,
in Acton, and received charge of the prisoners from Dear,
a Brentford constable, who stated that a man had been
knocked down that night at the end of Gunnersbury-lane,
near Brentford, and robbed of sixty sovereigns ; that the
prisoners were suspected of having committed the robbery,
and that he had followed them from Brentford, and; as-
sisted by two other persons, had apprehended them. Wil-
liams took the prisoners into a parlour, and searched them ;
he found two half-sovereigns, nine shillings, some copper,
and a key on the prisoner Page, who is a very short girl ;
he particularly observed this money to be dirty, as if it
had been rolling in the mud. Mary Ann Hence had .55.,
some copper, and a knife; Oakingham had sixpence, and
some copper, and upon his trousers there was a finger mark
of blood. Isaac Hunt had one half-sovereign, :is. Gd. and
some copper: Williams also produced a neck-kerchief
with a great deal of blood upon it, which was found in
the parlour of the Red Lion after the prisoners had been
removed to the cage, and a pair of good leather gloves,
which were found in Oakingham's hat.
Charles Dear, a Brantford constable, stated, that at half-
past eight o'clock on Tuesday night, the landlord of the
Star and Garter, near Kew-bridge, sent for him, and in-
formed him that a person had been about four miles below
Brentford to see a friend; as he came back he called at
the Star and Garter and had a glass of something to drink;
he then went on for about a quarter of a mile towards Lon-
don, when he met two girls and one man, they knocked
him down, and one of the girls, who was very short, and
whose person he said he should know again, cut the
pocket away from his small-clothes, which contained sixty
sovereigns. As soon as recovered himself, he came back
to the Star and Garter, covered with blood, and without
his hat and neckerchief. After receiving this information,
Dear made inquiry in the town of ,Brantford, and a young
woman in a public-house said she knew the parties from
the description, awl they were gone to Acton. Dear, with
two other persons, followed them, and met them within
200 yards of that village ; they appeared to have been into
it, and were then leaving it. He asked them where they
were going; they said they did not know; he replied " I
want you, and he took them into custody ; they all of
them seemed tipsy. After taking them to the Red Lion,
he ient.for Williams.—The prisoners were all remanded.

RESURRECTIONISTS.

(From the Liverpool Courier of yesterday.)
On Monday last a box, of a similar. description, and di-
rected to the same person as the box left at the White
Horse, was brought to the Golden Lion Coach-office,when
suspicion arising in the mind of the book-keeper of the
office as to its contents, it was taken to the Polies-ollice.
The following partieularktranspired yesterday, on an exa-
mination before the Mayor and Magistrates.
Robert Foxton deposed, that be is book-keeper at the
Golden Lion Coach-office. On Monday evening lot,
&bout haltopast nine, •tholeisoner, ..who gaffe his name as
Duncan *Gregor, called at the office with a box on his
shoulder, and inquired if they had a coach to Edinburgh
Witness replied in the affirmative. The prisoner. 4hen mud
he wanted to book the box to go by the coach. Witness
looked at. the direction, and perceiving it was the same as.,
the one left at the White Horse, he desired the boy to go
for that " friend of his." The boy knew lie meant a con-.
stable, and, upon his going out of the office for that pur-
pose, the prisoner instantly rushed out, but was pursued
by the boy, who called " Stop him !—Stop. thief !" The
prisoner was taken near Hargreave's-buildings, in High-
street. A constable came and took the bovand its con-
tents away. The box was opened
_at the Police-office, and
found to contain a dead body.
Evan Aughes deposed, that he is a porter in the Coach-
office ; was in the office on Monday evening when the
prisoner came with the box. When desired by Mr. Fox-
ton' to fetch hie friend, he was going out when the priso-
ner knocked him down, and got away. He pursued him; .
is quite sure the prisoner is the man who brought the box.
James Gillespie deposed, that the prisoner was one of
the men who lodged with Donaldson, at his house in Ca- .
therine's-Court; he slept in the same room as Donaldson,
and they were always together; always going and coming
in at the same time ; he had generally been called John
Brown.' The prisoner had left witness's house at the time
that 'Donaldson wills apprehended ; he gave him no notice'
of his intention to leave; he had not seen him since until
this day. The prisoner has, at different times, been Called
by the names of Duncan M'Gregor, Rob Roy *Gregor,
Francis Osbaldestone, and John Brown.

Mary Hindley, who lives near to Mr. Macgowan's
school, identified the prisoner as having frequently been
in the cellar with Donaldson.

The prisoner's answers to the (ptestions put to hirn by
the Mayor, were vague and contradictory, but as some
other witnesses had to be examined, his Worship reman-
ded the prisoner until to-morrow, (Wednesday).
The body is that of a young man, who died in the
fever-ward, and was buried at the parish cemetery, on Mon-
day morning, so that he had only lain in his grave about 12 ,
hours.

DEATH OF LINDLEY MURRAY, THE GRAM-
is with feelings of deep regret that
we annonnco the death of the highly respected
LINDLEY MURRAY, the author of an English
Grammar, and of many other approved works on
Education. His last illness was of short duration,
scarcely exceeding two days; but his whole life
may be said to have been a constant preparation
for his final change, so that death could scarcely
at any time have come upon him unawares. He
expired on Thursday morning, at his house, at
lloldgate, near this city, in the eighty.iirst year
of his age, and in the full possession of all his
mental faculties.—(York Herald.)

MR. LAMBTON, M. P.—The sporting world
will be sorry to hear that, owing to extreme ill
health, which obliges him to seek its renovation
its the South of. France, the above highly es-
teemed Gentleman has determined on retiring
from the turf, of which he has been so liberal
and effectual a supporter.
