- --POLICE`---INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
CLERKEN WE LL.
William Burton Newenham was brought up on re-
mand, charged with tho-abduction of Ffitrices Louisa
Wortham, of Gerard-street, Coburg road, Islington, a
ward in Chancery.
The Court was crowded, as on former occasions, with
professional gentlemen and highly respectable laymen,
who manifested great interest in the proceedings.
Mr. Southee, of Ely-place, Holborn, conducted the
prosecution, and Mr. Humphries defended the prisoner.
On Tuesday last an application was made to Vice-
Chancellor Sir Knight Bruce. to suspend the order of
reference, which had been made by his Honour, to the
Master, to inquire into the marriage, or supposed mar-
riage of Newenham, until the result of the criminal pro-
ceetainp-,s at this Court was ascertained. His Honour
declined to suspend the order, but directed that Mrs.
Wortham might be appointed receiver over her daugh-
ter's property.
Mr. Southee observed that Mr. Allen, the tipstaff of
the Court of Chancery was in attendance.
Mr. COMBE—WeII, what then ?
Mr. Southee—ln case your Worship discharges the
prisoner I suppose he intends to capture him on the
Vice-Chancellor's warrant.
Mr. CoMßE—There is not the slightest chance of my
discharging him. But the case cannot be proceeded with
to-day. I must remand him until Monday next, when
the case can be completed.
Mr. Humphries said he was not anxious to throw
any obstructions in the way of justice, but the amount
of bairthe magistrate had required was very large, (two
sureties in 300 L each, and himself in 1,000I)—in short,
it was tantamount to a refusal of bail altogether ; for
the prisoner could not procure sureties in so largo an
amount. He hoped the Magistrate would receive bail to
a less amount, that his client might regain his liberty.
Mr. Southee—linust oppose the application for a re-
duction of the amount of bail.
Mr. Co3lßE—State why I should reduce the bail.
Mr. Humphries—That a smaller amount would an-
swer the same purpose.
Mr. COMBE—If I were now to proceed with the case,
evidence would be in a few minutes produced which
would place it quite beyond my power to receive bail at
all. When taken into custody the prisoner said he was
an Esquire, and he represented himself as a person of
some fortune.

-of Neuwerri- for light-vessel, it is recommended, as
the only sure plan to guide strangers, when they see a
light, is to bring it to bear south-east by south before
standing for it, and in that bearing to steer direct for it.
They will then, even if the light-vessel is away, come
to no danger before seeing the low light on Neuv.-erk,
and by that know what light it is.
" With references to the sailing directions in No. 4,
it must be remarked, that the south shore is very steep,
and should, therefore, only be adopted when the wind is
to the southward of west, taking care not to get to the
northward of the Elbe, by striking in hazy weather the
shoal water of the tail of the Vogel (which stretches
right across the Elbe) before sight of anything is got.
Compass courses and bearings, and the distance 60 miles
to one degree."

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
The accounts from the United States, received by the
Caledonia steamer—being calculated to induce a belief
in a larger crop of cotton than had been previously ex-
pected by many parties—have exercised an unfavourable
influence upon our market. It is understood that there
are many orders on hand, both tor goods and yarn ; and
a large amount of business was (lone prior to the arrival
of the steamer; but the anticipation of a further decline
in the price of cotton has caused many of the buyers,
especially of yarn, to hold back in the hope of
being able to execute their orders on better terms.
Yarns, suitable fur the German market, have con-
sequently suffered a slight decline, and the busi-
ness done in them has been very limited. There
is, however, still a fair business for India, and for the
home trade, at tolerably steady prices. In goods there
is not much doing, except for skirtings, which are still
in good demand, and large quantities would be taken at
a very trifling concession from previous rates. The
stocks are, however, very light, and manufacturers are
not much inclined to lower their demands.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, APRIL 15.
—We have had a better attendance of buyers in the
market to-day than last Monday ; but a very limited
quantity of goods has been disposed of. Those of the
coarser kind have been the most inquired after. The
wool market has been extremely dull, and the manufac-
turers are not at all eager to purchase, except for imme-
diate use. The prises are much the same as last week

Mr. Humphries—And in that representation he was
fully justified.
Mr. COMBE—Then, if he be so, he can have no diffi-
culty in procuring the amount of bail required. If your
client chooses to assume dignity and position, he cannot
complain that he is dealt with as such. If you consider
the bail excessive, you know there is another Court to
which you can appeal for its reduction.
Mr. Southee said he was anxious to correct an impres-
sion which he feared had gone forth, that he was anxious
to compromise the case. Such was not the fact, but di-
rectly the reverse. _

SECOND DISTRIBUTION OF THE BURMESE PRIZE MONEY.

CoMBE said there was no ground for such an im-
pression.

- Mr. Southee felt it his duty to call the attention of the
Magistrate to the fact that, since the prisoner's arrest,
he had been in communication with Miss Wortham and
her mother, contrary to the order of the Lord Chancellor.
Mr. COMBE said this question was, as far as he was
concerned, properly speaking, corwn non judice. He
would, however, be most anxious to lend his assistance
in carrying out the Chancellor's directions, and thought
it highly improper that any communication should be
allowed to take place between the prisoner and Mrs. or
Miss Wortham. He had advised mother and daughter
not to hold any such communication with the prisoner.
Further than this he was not justified in interfering.
Mr. SoutheP produced a letter of the prisoner, dated the
13th of April, to Mrs. or Miss Wortharn, which had been
sent to them from the house of Correction.
Mr. COMBE said the parties aiding in forwarding this
letter rendered themselves liable to punishment for con-
tempt of the Court of Chancery, by acting in defiance of
the order of that Court.

Mr. Humphries—As this matter has been mentioned I
must say the prisoner has acted indiscreetly and un-
wisely. I will advise him against holding any such
communication in future. I want to know, why should
the police go to his lodging and seize upon his money?
Mr. Southee assured the Court if such were the case it
was done without his knowledge or concurrence.
Inspector Penny—l received instructions from Mr.
Southee to lock the prisoner's door and seal it up. I did
so, but I removed no money.
Mr. Humphries—Somebody did it. He was informed
that it was Duke, the Usher of the Court.
Duke said he removed the money from the lodging,
but took it back again, putting it it a safe place.
Mr, CoaißE—l have no objection that it should be re-
stored to the prisoner.
The prisoner was then remanded.
On the former examination Mr. Humphries elicited
from Mrs. Wortham that the prisonor had advanced
money for the education of her daughter, but with a
promise of its being repaid on a future occasion.

—The payment 9f the unclaimed shares of prize-money on
account of her Majesty's troops of the Madras establishment,
Who served under Major-General Sir A. Campbell, G.C.8.,
tit the captures in the Burmese territory, will be made on
and after this dav, at the Secretary's Office, Chelsea Hopital.
The Ist, 41st, 45th, and 89th Regiments of Foot are the
claimants.

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
The following is posted at Lloyd's :
" SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR THE RIVER ELBE.

" 1. Coming, from sea with a northerly or N.W.
wind, it is desirable to make Heligoland before running
in for the river. There is a light-vessel and also a red
buoy at the mouth of the Elbe, the former 17, the latter
19 miles S.E. by S. from Heligoland. The light vessel
has three masts; she is painted red, with 'Elbe' in white
letters on her side. She carries a red flag at the main
by day, and from sunset to sunrise a single fixed light
about 30 feet above the level of the sea, and she in
11 fathoms at low water. Neuwerk High Tower, Scher-
horn Beacon, and red buoy in a line, bearing S.E. by S.,
the Saltter two miles distant coming from Heligoland
with the first of the flood. The course is S.S.E. to the
light-vessel; with half-flood, S.E. by S., and with the
first of the ebb S.E. You will then shoal on the water
gradually from 20 to 10 or 9 fathoms, with the blue mud
very sticky.
" 2. The tail of the Vogel stretches across the river
in this direction, and you have more water after cross-
ing it, and on getting nearer to the station of the light-
ship. When the light-vessel bears S.E. by S. six miles
you will have 9 to 10 fathoms very dark sand and mud;
when bearing S.E. or S.E. by E. at the same distance,
the bottom is blue mud, and occasionally mussel shells.
The pilot galliot when weather permits lays E.S.E,
2 miles from the light ship, E. by N. one mile from the
red buoy in ten fathoms water. She is distinguished by
a large red vane, and as long as there are any pilots
on board, she has the Hamburg Admiralty flag flying
by day, and a light by night when ships aro coming in.
Ships entering the Elbe are required to boist the usual
signal for pilot at the fore by day, ad to show a light by
night, when approaching the pilot galliot, and to heave
to in sufficient time to enable the boat to come along-
side, as near the galliot as practicable.
"2. In bad weather, when it is not practicable to
board vessels at her proper station, the pilot galliot re-
moves to her inner station nearer to Neuwerk. In such
cases, ships will do well to attend to the following direc-
tions :—lass to the northward of the outer light vessel,
then steer E.N.E., until the inner light vessel bears S.E.
or then steer direct for her leaving her on the
larboard side, then steer S.S.E. or S.E. by S. till you can
get close to the black buoy
where,
if you do not find
the pilot galliot, you may anchor in six fathoms. The
buoys u 41 be found to be a very good guide ; in going
in, leave the black on the starboard and the white on
the larboard side. The white on the north side of the
channel are nun buoys, the black on the south side are
can buoys.

" 3. Coming in at night, when Neuwerk high light
comes above the horizon front the deck, you will then
be about eight miles from th,e red buoy ; bring it to
bear S.E. by S., and steer for it; when the low light at
Neuwerk is seen you will not be far from the outer light-
vessel; pass to the northward. of her, and steer E.S.E.,
till the inner light vessel beers S.E.I E. This vesssl
has two masts, shows two fixod lights, one over the other,
eighteen feet apart, is painted red, with Elbe' in
white letters on her side, and carries, during the day, a
horizontally divided blue and white flag at the main.
When you have brought her to bear S.E. / S., steer
directly for her, leave her on. your larboard side, and
bring her to bear (directly after passing her) N.N.W.,
then steer S.S.E., care being taken to keep the light-
ship N.N.W., and keeping a good lead going. You will
shoal regularly from 13 to 6 and 61 fathoms, when you
will be close to the black buoy 6, Neuwerk light bearing
S. by W. Take notice, however, that before getting so
far as this you may possibly have one cast of 6 fathoms
on the tail of the sand-reef which stretches into the
channel; it is very narrow, and'. you deepen in 7,8, and 9
fathoms again. When you can make sure of having got
soundings on the S. side of the' channel, near the black
buoy, in 51 fathoms, steer off to the N.E. into 6 or 7
fathoms, and anchor irnmedintely. The channel is
narrow here, and this is the inner station of the pilot
galliot, which carries a light .hey night, and will supply
vessels with pilots, that show a. light even at night, wind
and weather permitting).
" 4. It is advisable, with the' wind to the southward of
west, as soon as you have souaded on Borkum Reef, to
steer easterly along the soutlishore, in 14 to 15 fathoms,
till you reach midway between Heligoland and Wange-
roog. You are then east-south—east, about 16 miles from
the red buoy ; steer then east-south-east, and keep the
lead going. On this course you will find 17, 16, 15, 14,
13, and 12 fathoms, with a blue ish, sticky ground; if too
southersly, you will have 9 to 110 fathoms (solid ground),
and must then steer more northerly, till you regain the
before-mentioned depth. As csoon as you get sight of
the high tower, on Neuwerk, of the Scharhorn Beacon, or
the outer vessel, bring that object south-east by south,
and steer this course, the lead constantly going, till you
are certain that you have reacheed the mouth of the Elbe ;
then proceed as stated in 1 and 2.
" 6. In coming towards the Elbe from the northward,
keep the low light of Neuwerl4,. open to the eastward of
the high light, steering south by east half-east, or south-
south-east ; you will then cross the tail of the Vogel
Sand, in 6 or 7 fathoms, and ve hen you deepen in 10 or
12 fathoms, you will be then in the Elbe, and may pro-
ceed as before directed.
" GENERAL 6;4!VIA.RICS.

" When it isiincetointhteheriEvelbr,e,uwnlheess-
expected there:
whe-
ther the light-vessels are at their stations or not, it is
not prudent for any vessel to rail is
there is a fresh wind at south-west or west, as with
these winds, and the tide at half ebb, the channel is left
free of ice, and ships may folly' expect to get to get pilots
and assistance, and to reach bixhaven harbour.
"Do not come nearer the charhorn than nine fa-
tho"
Do ms, it is very steep. "
not trust to your soundings on the Vogel Sand,
between the white buoy, No. 2, and the station of the
Miner light-ship. The depth is very irregular, and
being steep from thirteen to fourteen fathoms, you are
close to the dry sand. You i nay approach the sand reef
to five fathoms, on the south shore.
