MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The markets generally show a decided improve-
ment to-day, though but little business is doing.
Consols have advanced to 93 buyers for Money, and
93/ 931 for the Account. New Three-and-a-Half
per Cents. 1011 1018 ; Exchequer Bills Old, 51 53;
New, 49 51 prem.
Foreign Securities are also rather higher, the
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. having been sold
at 528; the Five per Cents., 102/ 1028; and Bra-
zilian, 66 ; Mexican Bonds are quoted 351. -
Both Railway Shares and those in Joint-Stock Banks
have been in better demand. Among the latter London
and Westminster have found purchasers at 22i ;
Union Bank of London, 98 ; National Provincial
Bank of England at 351, and the new Shares, 101.
In the former, Brightons have changed hands at a
further advance upon the prices of Saturday, and
are now marked 338 331; Great Western, 85 ; the
New Shares, 60:1- ; Fifths, 7/ 8 ; Blackwall, 71;
Bristol and Exeter, 451; Manchester and Birming-

Private letters from the manufacturing districts
are of rather a more favourable nature. Several
orders had been received for goods by the last mail
from India, and, in consequence, business had im-
proved. The mills not being yet at full work,
these had to be supplied from stock, and
for which advanced rates were being obtained.
They state also that, although the workmen have not
returned to their labour, yet no appehension existed
of any further disturbances ; that tl.e differences be-
tween them and the masters appeared to be about to
be amicably adjusted very shortly.

LAW INTETA,I GENCE.
BANKRUPTCY (TY :us DAY).

IN RE THOMAS CHUR ,CHILL.

This bankrupt was described AS a bill-broker and
foreign merchant. The amount of debts and liabili-
ties were stated in his schedule f o be 27,8001., while
the available assets at present amounted to 5,750/.,
and a further sum of 4,0001. was expected to be
realised from a consignment to tit e West Indies, made
by the bankrupt and a person na i ned Weston.
This day being appointed for the final adjourned
examination of the bankrupt arid . a proof of debts, a
number of creditors were in at tt !ndance, and further
claims for 8,7651. were establishes t.

The body of the creditors not ( •ffering any opposi-
tion, and the bankrupt having rendered the usual ac-
counts, he was declared entitled to pass his final exa-
mination.

POLICE INTEL LICENCE.

--------

GU ILDHALL—(T7tIIS DAY.)
James Jackson, a mechanic: Al instrvment maker,
I
was placed at the bar, charged - with atten. pting to steal
licroperty of the Patent
Mo a, gate -stret. rt.
a piece of broad cloth, the
Woollen Cloth Company,
The prisoner was seen to •put his. ha nd in at the
window, which is about five feet fror n the . ground, and
try to lift the piece of cloth in question 0. ef the shelf.
He was therefore given into, custody. TE e prisoner
was well known to the polio., having been tl iree times
convicted of felony.

`he
p.ofe..iy was not removed,
The MAGISTRATE said he could only commit the pri-
soner to the House of Correction for a month.,

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Two young men, the one a waterman and the other
a labourer employed at the Iron Steam Boat Pier,
were charged, the latter with resisting the police and
the former with attempting to rescue the latter.
Policeman F 82 stated, that in consequence of
what he heard:' he went down to the Adelphi-stairs,
when he tound two men who had fallen into the
water and were drunk, sitting shivering on the side
of a barge ; they were surrounded by a number of
people, and witness thought it was wrong to allow
tbem to remain there, and he wanted to take them on
shore when the former prisoner told him not to inter-
fere, and said that the police were always poking their
noses into places where they were not wanted. Wit-
ness was nearly shoved into the water, and in at-
tempting to take that prisoner into custody the other
interfered and attempted a rescue.
The prisoners said that they had just saved the two
men in question from drowning; the labourer had
held them up in the water for nearly five minutes,
and whin the policeman came up they were both
very much exhausted, and could scarcely breathe.
He (the policeman) was excessively overbearing in
his conduct, and knocked them about in a disgraceful
manner.

A gentleman named Russell here came forward for
the purpose, as he said, of bearing testimony to the
very improper conduct of the policeman. So lJng as
the men were in the water the policeman did not come
near, but directly the men at the bar rescued them
from the water the policeman came bustling up to the
place with much importance, and shoved every one
about in a most disgraceful manner. He wished to
shove every one away who bad been concerned in
saving the men.
Mr. HALL said the evidence of the policeman had
not been at all disproved. He should fine them 10s.
each, or in default commit them to the House of Cor-
rection for seven days.
We suppose the poor fellows must go to prison.

TRIAL OF THE RIOTERS.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, Sept. 2.
Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Maule are energeti-
cally engaged in clearing the heavy " supplemental
calendar." Every case is but an echo of the preced-
ing. The major portion of the prisoners were appre-
hended among the rioters. The unfortunate men are
arraigned by the dozen or the score, and in but a few
cases are there acquittals, where perhaps the evidence
of identity seems questionable, or where witnesses
are produced, to substantiate what is the commonly
urged defence—viz., an accidental or involuntary en-
tanglement in the crowd. A batch of near twenty
were tried at one time by Lord Denman this morn-
ing (some of them defended by Mr. Wilkins) for in-
timidating by tumultuous proceedings in Leeds. The
evidence being clearly conclusive,
Mr. WILKINs, on the part of his clients, said he re-
gretted he had not seen the depositions previously to
the trial. Had he done so, he should certainly have
advised them to retract the plea of " Not Guilty," for
he had made up his mind all through these cases (in
many of which he defended) never to advisedly aggra-
vate the offence of a prisoner by an unjustifiable alle-
gation of innocence. It was natural, looking at
the crowds of unhappy men who were brought to the
bar, to feel the deepest indignation against those who,
for purposes of mere selfish vanity or for darker de-
signs of faction, had gone to the hovels of ignorance
and poverty, and endeavoured, too successfully, to
urge men on to acts of violence and lawlessness, the
bitter fruits of which would be long lamented in many
a family, and would be sorely felt through the whole
country. Nor could too much anger be felt at con-
duct so cowardly and cruel, when it was pursued, as
it had been (unless his information deceived him), by
men occupying the station of Magistrates, who had
dared thus to excite the people against the laws,
simply because, in the bigotry of so-called " Libe-
ralism," the laws did not suit their notions.
Lord DENMAN here interrupting, said—Mr. Wil-
kins, I hardly think that I ought to hear that said—
that Magistrates have incited the people to insurrec-
tion ! Besides, this question is not relevant to the
matter on inquiry.
Witnesses were then called, who gate the prisoners
good characters--one or two of them having been
teachers in Sunday schools.

During Mr. Wilkins's address most of the pri-
soners sobbed with grief, and seemed heartily sorry
for their folly. •
Lord DENMAN, in addressing the Jury, said it *as
of the utmost importance that all men, especially
those in the situation of the prisoners, should clearly
understand, that by the law of England any man
voluntarily lending—even if by presence only—his
sanction and support to riotous and unlawful mobs,
was guilty of a participation in the offences in which •
they were involved. For it was the very numbers
which gave force and invested with terror these illegal
assemblies ; and each individual present, and silently
aiding and abetting in their lawlessness, was as $
private in a large army of rioters carrying the terror
and the violence of invasion into peaceably disposed
districts of her Majesty's dominions. Still, however,
on the part of the people of this country, he must
assert the right of free discussion, and of peaceable
statement of grievances. But there was a very wide
difference between meeting for the purposes of peace-
able discussion, or of petitioning the Sovereign and
the Parliament—there was a wide difference between
this and assembling riotously, and to the terror of the
peaceable subjects of her Majesty, and with the view of
committing acts grossly illegal and tyrannical. Nor was
it fair or just to trace to perfectly legal and constitu-
tional discussion all the unlawful acts which might
thereafter be committed. Unfortunately, it was mat-
ter for astonishment and lamentation that, after all
that had been done to enlighten and educate the peo-
ple, and, he would fearlessly add, to improve their
condition and promote their comforts, there should be
found in this country men, by the hundred and the
thousand, ready to assemble together for the absurd,
the insane, the suicidal purpose of throwing men in
their own circumstances out of employment, and thus
increasing terribly the distress which unhappily ex-
isted. The Judges would certainly endeavour to give
full effect to every circumstance of palliation ; but the
monstrous and unheard-of tyranny of preventing'
men from working who were willingly engaged in
work, must be met with condemnation ; and it WO
far from mitigation—it was aggravation—that men of
education and of religious profession should have taken
a share in these proceedings, which might have pro-
duced bloodshed.
The prisoners were convicted.
In the next case, about a dozen men were arraigned
for attempting to stop works near Leeds, and the evi-
dence was similarly conclusive.
Lord DENMAN, in summing up, said, in the present
case two of the men had asked for money to depart
and were it not that the firmness of the proprietor 01,
the works had resisted the demand, they would no
have been taking their trial, not for misdemeanour,
but for felony of a most serious nature.
The Jury convicted all but one, recommending
several to mercy.—The sentences were deferred.
Mr. S. Wortley and Mr. Baines, with Mr. Pollock/
prosecute. _

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.
A great many of the rioters, on being arraigned'
pleaded Guilty.
The delusion all the prisoners seemed to have la-
boured under was, that it they abstained from violence
they could not be convicted—an error expressively
exemplified in the language of many among thew
•:vhen asked to plead to the indictments, that language
very commonly being, " Guilty only of having been
present." Their error was abundantly7corrected, the
Learned Judge taking care to have it well under-
stood that any man voluntarily present with an un-
lawful assembly incurred the guilt in which they were,
collectively involved, whether or not he were proven
to have actively participated in the proceedings ; that
what was done under dread of or by means of the
terror inspired by a large mob, was the effect of cri-
minal violence, in which all persons present (unless
involuntarily) were involved.
The Judges went on rapidly clearing the calendar'
though some 30 cases were added since it was printed,
prisoners being arraigned in parties of from one or
two to a dozen, and the evidence often occupying
more than a few minutes, the short simple facts to he'
deposed to being the presence and participation
riotous proceedings when the stopping of works NO
attempted.
Mr. S. Wortley and Mr. Baines left to-day, ah 4
the prosecutions were then carried on by Mr. Hall,'
Mr. Granger (M.P.), Mr. Denman, &c.
great satisfaction was universally expressed at the
careful consideration and humane feeling which the
Learned Judges displayed throughout these tedious
trials, every circumstance of palliation, or extenuation
being attentively and kindly elicited. The conduct
of the Counsel, too, employed fot• the prosecution, has
called forth general approbelion, they having' dis-
charged their duty with as ranch forbearance as ability,.
About half-past five o'clock, nearly simultaneous of
in both Courts, the trisls terminated, and the Learnw
Judges congratulated the Jurors on the close of pe r'
haps the most arduous assizes ever known.
The Sentences were to be delivered this mor fling
(Monday.)
