subject, and finding it was against him, consoled his client
with the information that Mr. Cope, the City Marshal,
who took his papers from him, was liable for the value of
whatever he did not return.
Mr. Alderman WAIaiMAN said the present charge
against the prisoner was at an end ; but he was aware that
a most grievous and extensive system of swindling was car-
ried on by some parties in this city. If there was no ether
complaint against the prisoner, he might be discharged.
No person stepping forward to complain, Coster was dis-
missed.
Mr. Power, in reply to a question from the Alderman,
said there was no such person as Stopes, the drawer of the
bill. At the previous hearing, however, Mr. Harmer
offered to call the said Mr. Stopes into the witness-box.
MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—On Saturday one Mrs.
Berry, of No. 18, Molineaux-street, was summoned be-
fore the sitting Magistrate to answer to all such matter and
things, as, in his Majesty's behalf, were on oath objected
against her by Lago Button.
Mr. Button stated, that on ThurFday last the lady, with-
out provocation, " broke the solid panels of his shop-door,"
and threatened to do him a " private injury."
He was asked by the Magistrate what he meant by a
private injury?
" She threatened, your Worship, to tear out my eyes, if
I called her a . I called her nothing, your Wor-
ship : she never heard the sound of my voice, whether it is
high or low. She lives in the floor above ; only said my
wife (Mrs. Button) should not open the street-deor to
fellows, who came with their double and treble raps after
Mrs. Berry. Look here, your Worship," continued Mr.
Button, as he exhibited some fragments of mahogany, " I
am a cabinet-maker by profession, and if I was to repair
this sash with wooden squares which she broke, it would
cost me 12s. or 155." Mr. Button then produced a neck-
kerchief, torn to pieces (as he said) when Mrs. Berry, in
lone instance, collared him; and was entering very fully

into the particulars, but
Mr. Gait,Frrn interrupted him, by saying, " Hear me,
man : you must not provoke a woman, if you are not pre-
pared to take the consequences."
Mrs. Berry afterwards gave the complainant satisfaction,
by paying costs and repairs. '

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 7.-There continues a good de-
mand for British Plantation Sugar for the home
trade; the sales this week amount to upwards of
1,100 hhds., at a further advance of ls. per cwt. on
the brown and middling descriptions; besides the
above, 350 bags good white Bengal Sugar have been
taken by the grocers at 765. to 775. per cwt., being a
similar improvement in price. Yesterday, 30 chests
Bahia Sugar were brought forward by auction, and
were bought by our refiners, brown at 295., and low
middling to good whites at 365. 6d. to 425. per cwt.
according to quality. Immediately afterwards, a
small lot of soft Pernambuco Sugar, consisting of
yellow and good whites, were bought by the same
parties at 355. per cwt. round. West India Molasses
are in more request; about 270 puuchs. Trinidad,
of good quality, were sold at 295. per cwt. from the
quay.-Our Coffee market remains in the same dull
state, the business being still confined to the home
trade; prices continue without alteration.-Cocoa
unsaleable.-Small parcels of Pimento have been
sold at 81d. to 9d. per lb. ; and of ordinary Barba-
does Ginger at 455. per cwt.-About 300 punchs.
Rum have been disposed of to the trade, consisting
chiefly of Demerara, good flavours, at 3s. Bd. to 3s.
10d. per gallon for 27 to 30 0. P.
Owing to the arrivals of Cotton, which have
amounted this week to 28,914 bags, the demand has
been rather languid ; the prices_generally, however,
have been maintained, except the lower descriptions
of American Cotton, which, in some instances, have
been sold a shade below our last quotations. The
sales amount to 8,400 bags, consisting of 2,630
Bowed, from 50. to 7d., chiefly at 6*d. to 60. for
middling to good fair; 1,380 Orleans, from 6d. to
80., principally at 60. to 7d. for fair to good;
1,160 Mobile and Alabama, from sid. to 6i d. ; 280

MACHINERY..

Lord Lauderdale, in a pamphlet to which we
alluded a week or two ago, confidently predicted t
the speedy transference of the manufactures of
Yorkshire and Lancashire to Ireland, in conse-
quence of the effects resulting from the Union. I,
No trade is more hazardous than that of a pro-
phet, in all cases where the events predicted are
not postponed to a distant futurity. Lord Lau-
derdale,
for example, has lived to see, not the
Yorkshire and Lancashire manufactures trans-
ferred to Ireland, but the only manufacture of
consequence possessed by Ireland nearly en-
grossed by this country.
When machinery comes to be extensively em-
ployed in a country, there is a strong tendency
in all manufactures in which machinery is used
to congregate. Machinery is always manufac-
tured
in the greatest perfection where it is most
extensively used ; and it was stated in the evi-
dence
before the House of Commons, that ma-
chine making was more perfect in Manchester
than in Glasgow, from the greater division of
operations, the result of the more extensive de-
mand for all sorts of machinery. Those who in- •
troduce machinery for the first time into any
country, have great difficulties to struggle with,
from the want of competent artizans in their
neighbourhood to keep the machinery in order.
When machinery in Manchester, Leeds, or i
Glasgow, gets out of order, the pieces wanted
can be procured on the spot immediately, and in-
troduced
into the works ; whereas, in a country ,
not possessed of mechanical skill, the works must I
often stand still, till the pieces required can be
obtained from a distance.
The difficulty of keeping up machinery in a .
rude country, is forcibly stated in an article on
Cornish Mining in America, in the last Number ,
of The Quarterly Review. "At the first
glance it must appear that the cost of transport- •
ing a seventy-inch engine to the mines even of
Mexico, must be something quite enormous.
The whole country is one eon- ":1
tinued obstacle to the undertaking. It is neces-
sary to make roads, to construct bridges; and
such unnatural efforts are and must be attended
by unnatural expellees. Snpposing, however,
that all these difficulties are by dint of money
surmounted, and that this unwieldy labourer does
get to the Mines, at what expence is he to be
supported there ? What is to be the price of
his fuel ; and what are to be the salaries of the
artisans who Must unavoidably be maintained
for the purpose of repairing every sort of acci-
dent
that may happen to the many-limbed and
most delicate Colossus in his unnatural exile ?"
The introduction of complicated machinery .
into the manufacture • of linen has, it would ...
seem, drawn it to the country in which the ma-
chinery
is best made and preserved. Thus it
appears, from the Returns relating to Hemp,
Flax, and Linens, ordered by the House of ,
Commons to be printed, 15th June, 1827, that •
the British Linen exported for the year ending
sth January, 1827, amounted to 29,049,332
yards, and the Irish only to 10,937,378 yards.
The bounty paid on the British Linen exi '7ted "
was 144,4821., on the Irish to 44,4821. The
~
British Linen exported from England amounted •
to 17,826,347 yards, the Irish to 7,713;036
yards ; the British Linen exported from 'Scot- -
land to 11,111,291 yards, the Irish Linen from
Scotland to 465,468 yards.
We wonder that our sagacious landholders ..
havenot resolved that we should grow , our own
flax as well as our own corn. The importation
of flak into this country is very great ; etid were
we to lay a heavy duty on it, a great extension
of cultivation would be requisite. We observe
that the quantity imported for the year ending ,
sth January, 1827, into the United Kingdom. .
was no less than 688,665 cwts. of which 315,000
cwts. came into England, and 363,000 cwts-
into Scotland. What a robbery this. is on our'-
landholders ! It is true that braising the price
of flax the manufacturer may be injured.' But
this is only a possibility, whereas the certain effect
of a heavy duty on imported flax .would be to
raise rents; and even should the manufacturer
ultimately suffer, the
.effects for some time would
be confined to starving the tvorkmen.—Morning
Chronicle. .
