FRANKFORT, MAY 3.—The fair has been very
favourable, especially to the sellers of English manufac-
tures and French calicoes, but the demand fur British
manufactures in particular so far exceeded all the new
consignments, that many wholesale dealers have been able
to dispose of stocks which they have long had on hand, at

very good prices, and those who have had several descrip-
tions of goods, for io.tance waistcoat-pieces, conveyed by
the post, have been amply indemnified by the advance in
price for the additional expence of conveyance. Among
the English manufactures, the woollen cloths in particular

deserve notice. There is at present a great rivalry be-
tween them and the Flemish manufactures of the same de-

scription. Even good judges of these articles find it diffi-
cult to decide which of the two, paying regard to the
prices, deserves the preference, as the English manufactures
in this point of view are of very unequal quality.

Yesterday an inquest was held at the King's
Bench prison, on the body of Mr. JOHN PYTCHES, aged
55, a prisoner, who was formerly M. P. for Sudbury.
The deceased entered the prison on the Ist May, 1813, and
had generally enjoyed a good state of health till within the
last six weeks, when he was attacked with a violent inter..
nal complaint, which caused his death. The Jury re-
turned a verdict of—Died by the visitation of Gon. The
deceased's election expencee, and various law-suits in which
he was concerned, were stated to have been the cause of
his insolvency. He has left a widow and two children.

A question of considerable importance came
before the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday. The ques-
tion was, whether an annuity bequeathed to an insolvent
would pass to the creditors, although the testator had di-
rected that it should not be subject to any bankruptcy or
insolvency. RICHARD BEST, Esq. in 1826, became in-
solvent, and shortly afterwards took the benefit of the Act
—his debts then amounted to 14,000/. In 1828, he hid
bequeathed to him a legacy of 4,000/., and an annuity of
4001. a year; to his wife 1001. year, and to their on
100/. The testator, however, had directed, in his will
that the legacy of 4,0001., and the annuity of 400/. should
not be subject to any bankruptcy or insolvency, but should
be appropriate' to the support of the insolvent and his
fauily. On the death of the testator taking place, the
assignees applied to the Lord Chancellor to appropriate the
legacity and annuity to the payment of the insolvent's debts,
and his Lordship then referred the matter to the Commis-
sioners of the Insolvent Court. The matter was argued
by Mr. Koff and Mr. CHANDLER, of the Chancery Bar; and
Mr. HEATH and Mr. COOK argued the question with
great ability. The Court said, that as the case was one
of a most important nature, they should postpone judgment
for a week.

On Tuesday an occurrence took place in the
family of a tradesman at Deptford, arising out of a fit of
jealousy, which bad nearly terminated in the destruction of
two persons at least. The tradesman's wife being ill, the
wife of a mechanic was engaged to assist him in the shop.
One day after dinner the tradesman having got a little ine-
briated, put his arms round the neck Of the mechanic's
wife, and a prating servant girl immediately conveyed the
intelligence to her mistress. The mechanic's wife was
instantly ordered out of the house ; and on returning to
her husband, she informed him of what bad taken place,
and be immediately flew into a violent passion, and used
epithets of great harshness towards her. The poor woman,
driven to a state of distraction, owing. to the unjust suspi-
cions against her, withdrew to another room, and swal-
lowed a quantity of oxalic acid. She then informed her
husband what she had done, and he became quite frantic,
and seizing a sword which he kept in his room, vowed
vengeance on the head of the tradesman. He then pro-
cetded to the tradesman's house ; but not meeting with
him, smashed a great number of the windows. He was
then taken into custody ; and on Thursday was taken be-
fore the Magistrates at Deptford, and having paid the ex-
pences of the glass he had broken, he was discharged.

On-the motion of the Marquis of SALISBURY, the
committal of this Bill was postponed till Friday next.
• The Duke of NORFOLK presented a peti-
tion from the land-owners of a Hundred in
the county of Sussex, complaining of the law
price of wool, the cause of which had been
assigned by many to its deterioration, which
the petitioners denied. He (the Noble Duke) con-
curred most cordially with the petitioners, and in
that concurrence he was strengthened by the ob-
servations he had made on his own flock. When
the motion with respect to the wool trade came be-
fore their Lordships, he should take the liberty of
making a few observations.
The Duke of RICHMOND also presented seve-
ral petitions to the same effect from Hundreds in
the calmly of Sussex. He had a small property in
France, and had also a small flock there, and he ac-
tnally got more for his wool there ;ban in this

country.— Vae Noble Duke likewise gave notice
that he shiitild move some resolutions with respect
to the subject on Tuesday week, for which day
he requested their Lordships to be summoned.
Those Resolutions were so moderate, that he (the
Noble Duke) apprehended no opposition could be
made to them. If, however, there was, he should
certainly take the opinion of the House upon them.
