or under what circumstances the pin was taken. If the psis
sOners had any demand upon him, he could have given a cheque
for the amount; but they told him he had lost some money at
play,. through his partner, of which circumstance he knew
nothing, having been asleep at the time.
Mr. JARDINE inquired whether the prisoners appeared to be
acting in concert at the time.
The prosecutor replied, that he was quite sure they ware.
There was a third person with them, and the moment he
demanded his property in the presence of the officer, Perkins
gave it up, saying he was going to his (witness's) house to leave
'lt there, as he had In the early part of the morning obtained his
address. He never saw either of the prisoners before.
The constable 'said, that when he took the prisoners into
custody, they offered him iCts. if he would not say anything
about it..
M'Gill denied that any money was offered, except by the
prosecutor, Who wished to reward the constable for his exertions.
Mr. JARDIN'i said it was too serious a case to be disposed
of at once. He should therefore remand the prisoners fwr a
few days.
The prosecutor was also bound over in the sum of WI. t,7

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE. LEEDS, JULY 29.—The in-
quiries for foreign wool this week have been rather less
extensive than during the fortnight or three weeks pre-
vious, but without any assignable cause ; the descriptions
chiefly in demand at present are the middle and lower
qualities.
• ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JULY 29.—Our re-
port of this branch of trade during the present week
does not vary materially from that of the previous one.
Sales have been limited in extent ; prices are quoted
without any alteration.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 28.—This day the supply
of wool was rather large, and many buyers were present.
Several lots changed hands without any material altera-
tion in price. Best quality 125.," 12s. 31. to 12s. Gd. per
stone ; Ewe Ils. to Us. 6d. ; Locks 7s. Gd. to Bs. ; "Moot
Wool Gs. to 7s. The buyers fur the future have agrcesi
to attend only every other week.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Jl7l, V 29.—We are un-
able to report any improvement in the wool trade.
Very few sales can be effected in any description either
of long or short wools, and last week's prices are barely
sustained.

DONCASTER WOOL MAR K ET, JULY 29.—The quantity
of wool offered to-day was rather larger than last weel:,,
but scarcely so many buyers. The trade was not so,
brisk, but prices were about as last week.—Super Hog,
13s. to 13s. 6d. ; Hog and Ewe,. 1 ts. 9d. to Us. 6d. c
Ewe, 10s. 6d..t0 11e, 9d. ; Locks and Cots, 7s. to P,s;
60. per stone.
HULL WOOL MA KET.—PreparAtiOßS for the East
Riding. Agricultural Meeting at Beverley yer.terday,
'
added to the operations of the hay field—whj :h are of
paramount importance at this moment—caused 'a very slack
attendance of sellers on Tuesday, but. intiraations were
received from several that their produce Ar.,s reserved for
next week. The very short supply caused a--trifling ad-
i•ance in prices, which,- however, was reluotantly ' sub-
mitted Herold. . .

TRADE OF LEEDS.—TiIe markets at our Cloth Halls
on .Saturday „were about an average of those during the,
last few weeks, but on Tuesday therp:was as little bus;,-

TRADE OF HOLMFIRTIL—Trade does nut imywove in
this neighbourhood, as the supporters of Government
would have the country believe; on the other' hand, it
gets worse. We make this statement after having mat'.e
extensive inquiries of both merchants, ma.nufacturr.rs,
and workmen, connected with the district. such warm-
facturers as are partially employing their wurkmeu, state
that it is to a loss ; and many are determined, unless
things speedily. improve, to stop their works aleo,yet.ber,
Some of the'dOmestic clothiers are striving to bet half a
cake by forcing sales, just to keep their ow'.t families in
work. Such of the clothiers as have no 'machinery of
their own to go out of repair, and who have considerable
stocks on hand, have given over makin4; and there are

chased during the last fortnight than on several
past, but not with an intention of bringing it into work
at present.

BRADFORD MARKET. THURSDAY.—The attendowe
of

buyers to-day in the Piece Market is a fair aweiwe ;
the demand for
,plain and fancy goods rather i

but no better prices obtained. The yarn trailAtontimws
very similar to our last report. We do u,A, learn that
any improved prices have been re4r,%ed

likely that spinners will incre, Their ',lperations until
there is a change in their favrydr. The better supply of
wool in this market, notieff.a last wee4.is fully supported.

CHRONICLE.— m The number ot emigrants fro the
' United Kingdom during the )list year was almost
119,000, about 33,000 of vinotn, New Zealand included,
went to the Australian, settlement. The im:tortance to
the now depressed :English manufacturer of such an se.
cession to the .popukation of these colonies, may be esti-
mated by 4.:ne ftvel: that in ten years to 1840 the exports
rim t'ne Cllfited Kingdom to the Australian colonies,
' ad increased from a declared value of 398.471/. tn,
2,00).,3851. And yet in 1840, the entire population ~,E,
itiose colonies could barely have exceeded 130,000 soykir,.
Nor let it be imagined that this vast amount merely -re.
presents a transference of so much English capitl,), on
which no return was made. The colonists, who i
sent to the English market less that three niir,ions of
pounds of wool, were ten years subsequently w
raise and send ten millions of pounds to the 4a.,ne mart.
'Within the same period, also, 17,000 tuns of 'spermaceti
oil were exported by them to. Great Britair..
:In the first of this series of years our ofommerce with
Australia gave employment to 70 ships, with a tonna...ft
of 24,686 tons. In 1840 it employed c'99 ships, with**
tonnage of 108,000 tons and upwards.
The aggregate amount of exports from the Uliited
Kingdom to all parts of the worin in 1840 little exceeded
51,400,0001. The evidenee.which the official vibles of
trade supply, of so large ft proportion as 2,0far,,000( of
these exports being to _Australia, would scent 'to indicate
how much, by attention to our colonies, tb e exports of
the United Kingdom might be increasekund within a
period not exceeding that in which the wool of Aus-
tralia has increased from hundreds to tans of 'thousand
of pounds.

PRESBYTERY OF ARBROATH.
The Non-Intrusionists of the .*Presbvteq of Arbroath
appear to be determined to drive out all who differ from
them in opinion. Their persecution of the Reverend
Mr. Carruthers, of Kirkden, "on the pretence of drunken-
ness, has displayed a virulence sinful amongst any
class of men, and doubly so amongst those v, ho pro-
, fess to be the Alinisters of the Go,pel of Peace. We
know Mr. Carruthers well—have known him longer
than any of his calumniators—and we lu.itate not to
say that them is not a more temperate minister in the
Presbytery of Arbroath, no, nor a more sincere Chris-
tian. lie is a man naturally of a delicate constitution,
am ). had it not been for his very temperate ,mode of
'living, he must long since have gone the way of all the
earth. Were he to swallow as much intoxicating drink
in one week as many of his reverend accusors do daily
after dinner. the six months granted him by the Pres-
bytery would send him to his long home. A quiet un-
offending man, and beloved by the great majority of his parishioners, is the Rev. David Carruthers, and had ht,
chosen to be a Non-Intrusionist, the facto of drunkennoAt
