STATE of the NOTTINGHAM TRADE,
It is somewhat painful to state, knowing the gene-
ral depression of the . manufactures of this district,
that the master silk glove workmen complain that
they have greater difficulty
.than over in obtaining
material from the 'warehouses ; and they, as well as
their distressed journeymen, are seen loitering about
the hosiers' warehouses, and their workshops, anxiously
seeking employment.
The cotton glove branch, Islieb is principally car-
ried on in the villages, is also in a very depressed
state, which has a gloomy appearance for the winter.
We believe there is some slight improvement in
the demand for inferior wrought cotton hosiery, such
as are made in the vicinity of Mansfield,. being be-
tween wrought hose and cut-ups.
The fancy cotton hose branch, especially of the
i finer kinds, is in the most healthy state of any branch
of the cotton and silk hosiery manufactures;' but
even in . that branch there are many exceptions.
The drawer and pantaloon tracie is much in the
same low state that it has been in for months past, the
hands being but very scantily employed, encumbered
with heavy charges for frame rent, &c. It is consi-
dered by some, that the hosiers have, for the present,
Missed a rare chance, in not following up with vigour
Prince Albert's suggestion of making pantaloon hose,
which he set the example of wearing; had they made
the drawers and the hose separate, introducing the
India rubber welt. at the knees of both, there is little
doubt but the fashion would have become general, in
which case the present frames could not have supplied
the demand. Pantaloon hose were generally worn irl
the latter end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and
during the reign of James 1., and they are still con r
tinued for coronation dresses. It is generally consie
dered the handsomest of all fashions to show a fine
form, but was discontinued on account of the ditE4
culty of putting them on and Off, which would be
obviated by making them in two parts. Previous to
the introduction ofJndia rubber, this could scarcely
have been effected, but now nothing- can be more
simple, as the form may be equaly- shown, and thq
pantaloon be scarcely seen to be divided; this may.
be done either at the knee or at the ancle. •

MIDDLE SEX SESSIONS
(Before Mr. sergeant ADAMS, end the usual Bench of
aagist''.ates.)
RIOT ,AMONG? TTi COAL wmer.Ens.
Jeremiah Iliadde a . and James Hunt, two coal-
whippers, were indi, 3ted for a riot.
It appeared, i•om the evidence, that Mr. J. Kelly, a
coal agent, livir ig High-street, Shadwell, had been
employed by ?k•tain coal-merchants at Sunderland, to
engage a numb er of coal-whippers to unload their
col-
liers; and that be, with their consent, had determined
to abolish the ,eyi3tera that has so long been me valent
of engaging and ,paying the wages of the -.Lien at the
different public-h ouses in the -aeighbourheod, in which
they are compello 4 to spend a very considerable

to their families. The/plan he adopted, in order to
put a stop to a systera-
the evils of which were admitted
by all persons who. knew anything of the matter,
was to pay the. men on board the colliers on the ter-
mination of tFair week's work, deducting from their
wages one Finny in every shilling for the use of the
gear with which he furnished them, and with which
arrangemc.nt the sober and industrious portion of the
coalwhirpers were perfectly satisfied, knowing their
wives :Ind families were greatly benefited thereby;
but the publicans,.. who had extensively benefited by
the old system, were, of course, greatly opposed to the
new one, and the result of their opposition was, that
when, on the 13th of September, Mr. Kelly was pro-
ceeding, with a number of men in his employ, on
board one of. the colliers in the river, both he and they

The Jury retired, and were out of. Court about a
quarter of an hour, when they returned with a verdict
of Guilty.

The Learned CHAIRMAN then proceeded to pass
sentence upon the prisoner, and in doing so observed
that her's was an offence of a most aggravated nature.
She had been associated with a den of thieves in

London, who were in the habit of occasionally coming
down into the country for the purpose of plunder.
She had shown, from the manner in which the rob-
bery in question had been committed, that she was a
complete adept in such practices, and for his own
part he was sorry the Court had no power to pass a
more severe sentence that it was about to pronounce,
as it was ahmlutely necessary to convince such cha-
racters that they could not commit robberies in the
country with impunity. The sentence of the Court
on her was, that she should be transported for the
term of seven years, and in the meantime that she
should be kept to hard labour in the House of Cor-
rection.

A Mile-end omnibus proprietor, namea Bonner' was
summ9ntd for refusing to pay one gainea claimed by
a decorative painter named Gilbert under these cir-
cumstances:—

The painter said he entered into contract to paint
and adorn an omnibus belonging to the defendant,
which was to be called " The Royal Albert." In order
that the omnibus should not disgrace its illustrious
namesake, be bestowed an extra quantity of labour on
the ornamental parts, and in particular adorned certain
new boards with gold letters. As the latter portion
of tha work was not included in the contract, he sent
in an extra. claim of one guinea. •
The defendant, in reply, pleaded that the gold let-
ters were to be thrown into the bargain. To show '
the exact nature and terms of this bargain, he wished
to call one of his men who was present at the time.
The Court having acceded to this request, the wit-
ness was called, and gave this account—
" Master vonted to take the shine out of the Mile-
end busses with von of his'n, so he has a picter o'
Prince Halbert drawd a horseback, witch vos to go on

The left arm of the prosecutor, in which he received
the wound, was bound up.

RICHAEiII SAVAGE.
A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.
By CHARLES WHITEHEAD.
Author of " The Solitary," &c.
" In the tiial scene we seem to be present in the court. The
intensity of interest which is excited in the breasts of specta..
tore, when the fate of a fellow being hangs trembling in the ba-
lance, is felt by the reader. The poet', pining in poverty and
suffering within the walla of a prison—the death.bed scene of
the gifted but iitrctably imprudent son of genius—the unna-
tural neglect of his childhood, and the persevering efforts pur-
sued by his depraved Countess-mother to destroy him in after-
life, with the incidental notices of the 'associates, good and bad,
who shared his pleasures. ministered4o his wants, or stimu-
lated his depravities—supply materials which Mr. Whitehead
has judiciously wrought up to form a most interesting and in-
structive narrative."—G lobe.

It appeared from the evidence, that some time back
a quarrel occurred between the prisoner and prosecu-
tor, which the former renewed last night, and used
the most insulting language towards the latter in the
Goat public-house, Chenies-street. The prisoner
foamed at the mouth with rage, and the prosecutor
said his mouth was like a mad dog's, and put his
hand upon it, and made him sit down. The prisoner
told him to do so again. The prosecutor extended
his hand, when the prisoner drew a large open clasp-
knife from his pocket, and dragged it across the thick
part of his arm. He deposed that he bled three pints
from the wound. The surgeon at the North London
Hospital,vvhither he went, stated that the muscles of the
arm were cut across, and that it was a very bad
wound, but there was no danger of death.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

The painter having no evidence to rebut the testi-
mony of the last witness, the Court ordered a nonsuit
to be entered.

LETTERS OF -A.1.6.R11:, QUEEN OF SCOTS.—Perhaps
no Queen ever•lived whose character and actions have
excited. more interest, ;And interest of a more varied
and o:Tosite nature, than those of Mary, Queen of
Scots. No two people think and feel alike about
her ; and no doubt a chief reason for this is the little
that has hitherto been made public proceeding directly
from her own pen or her own lips. The present pub-
lication by Miss ..4.grics Strickland of a large number
of inedited letteri '3l Mary,. collected from the Royal
Library and national archives of Paris,, will greatly
modiftr the views 'hitherto entertained of the unfortu-
nate Qty en, and. they will, upon the whole, raise her
character in ger eral estimation, both in a moral and
an intellectual paint of view. Many of the letters are
of high historicti, importance, and most of them pos-
sess a personal interest which no other species of
composition but letters can attain. The publication
will doubtless be fAgerly sought for by almost all
classes of readers,

THE NEW NOVEL,. EDITIU) BY THE AUTHOR OF
" THE S DEALT% RN." —This new work of fiction be-
longs, as we understand, to that school which has
lately beet/ rapidly advancing in public favour, and
which proanses soon to throw into the shade its'
" fashionable" rivals on the one -.hand, and its- « senti-
mental" one:, on the other—the school of Real Life,
in the true and domestic sensn, of the phrase. The
author's first production,' " The Only Daughter"
(which also. appeared under the editorial auspices of
the popular author of " The Subaltern"), fully esta-
blished her clairns to public attention, and the present
novel, entitled, " Self Devotion ; or, the • History o.'
R.andolph," is said greatly to exceed in va-
riety Katharinean
and
depth of interest the.high promises held out
by that
work. Its chief charm is understood to lie in
the sf-xon6 and sustained interest of its plot, which,
vl.:Lie it aims and verges on the deeply tragic excite-
rAent of the elder dramatist, never departs from the
actual life of our own day.

DEAF AND D orin.—ln the London Medical Gazette
we find an interesting communication from Mr. Curtis
on the treatment of the deaf and dunib, in which he
advocates the opinion that a cure may be effected in a
large number of cases by proper treatment. He
agrees with Itard, that nothing can be done where
structural defect exists, but many instances are caused
after birth by accidents, fevers, measles, teething, &c.,
a considerable proportion of which may be relieved.
The tables of M. Schmalz, of Dresden, show, that of
5,423 cases of deaf and dumbness, 3,665 were con-
genital, the remaining 1,760 occuring after birth,
from one or other of the causes first named. These,
unfortunately, are all confounded together, and the
sufferers made the subjects of a course of symbolical
education, when they should have been submitted to
a well-directed medical treatment. Cases of this
kind were seen by Mr. Curtis at Berlin, Vienna,
Hamburgh, and Leipsic. Dr. Bohn and M. Saegert,
of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Berlin, to whom
he communicated his ideas on the curative measures
to be adopted, have promised to make a trial thereof
in their Institution. As far back as 1817 an attempt
was made by. Mr. Curtis to introduce his plan into
the Asylum in the Kent-road, but he unfortuately
failed. He is convinced, however, that the time is
approaching when the truth of his opinion will be
acknowledged.
FRAUD.—A new species of artifice has just come
to our knowledge, against which we feel it our duty
to put the public. on their guard. It is well known
that Messrs. Rowland and Sons have, by a series of
labours and highly successful experiments, succeeded
in discovering and preparing for the toilet articles
which have obtained a universal reputation all over
the world. Some vile and unprincipled imitators,
destitute alike of honour and of talent, have conceived
the nefarious idea of fabricating articles, so closely
resembling those 'of Messrs. Rowland as to require
a somewhat •careful observation to detect the differ-
ence. The objects consist of some pernicious and in-
jurious compound, which . is offered to the public
under the natne of Real Macassar Oil for the Hair,
or Kal ydor for the Complexion, articles which, as
prepared by MesSrs. Rowland, are universally pre-
ferred and esteemed.. The only mode for the pur-
chaser to avoid the imposition, and escape the baneful
effects which their vile counterfeits will infalliby pro-
duce, is to inspect, with great care, the :bottles and
labels, and to ascertain that they bear the actual sig-
nature of Messrs. Rowland and Son. No others are
genuine.

- ROAD SHOOTING.—There is a man, residing in
Norwich, who regularly goes out early in the morn-
ing and late in the evening, for the purpose of shoot-
ing game from the roads when out to feed. He is
usually accompanied by one or two others. He takes
a game license, we' are told. He is now become an
object of constant vigilance, and there can be little
doubt of his speedy detection in this predatory method
of sporting. We believe he has been before the Ma-
gistrates, but has hitherto escaped the fines and punish-
ment enacted against this mode of trespass. Another
such marauder is often seen upon the Hingham road.
from which neighbourhood he is said to come.—Nor-
wick Mercury.

THE PRESTON GUIL D ROBBERY.
At the Quarter Sessions for Cheshire, now being
held, Eliza Bailey has been tried and convicted of one
of the most extraordinary robberies which has taken
place of late years. -
The Grand Jury having found two bills against the
prisoner, one. for larceny, n stealing 100/. note, the
property of Me. John Marquis, the other for stealing
from the person the same sum of money, Wednes-
day last was fixed for the trial at Knutsford. The
whole amount stolen was 1,9001.
Shortly after the Court opened, the prisoner, Eliza
Bailey, was placed at the bar before the Chairman of
the Sessions, Mr. Trafford, Mr. Cottingham, of the
Union Hall Police-office, and several other Magis-
trates of the county.
. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Townsend,
and Mr. Trafford appeared for the prisoner, who
pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging her with
stealing a Bank of England note, of the value of 1001.,
on the sth September, the preperty of Mr. John
Marquis, gentleman.
Mr. John Marquis was then called. His evidence
was similar in all respects to that given by him at
the examination at Liverpool.
Elizabeth; the wife of John Simpson, of Preston,
iron-moulder, stated that on the evening of Monday,
the sth of September, she was sent for to the Buck-
i'th'fire public-home, in Preston, where she saw the
prisoner and a tall gentleman. The landlady asked
witness if she could accommodate them with lodgings,
which she agreed to do, and they accompanied her
home, and had their luggage, which consisted of two
boxes and a band-box, removed there also. They had
tea, and both of them then changed their dresses and
went out about eight o'clock. As they were going
out witness asked theta if she should make a fire in

replied not yet, saying theyshould be out about two hours. In about three quar-
ters of an hour's time
the man returned in a great
hurry and asked if his mistress had been. Witness
replied that she had not, on which he again went out,
and in a few minutes both returned in the company
of another man. They had a candle lighted and went
into the parlour. Shortly after witness heard the
woman scream out, " Oh' my God !" on which she
went into the room and asked what was the matter.
The prisoner replied that
the gentleman bad brought
her word of the sickness of her mother. She was
weeping apparently. The prisoner then put on a
light printed dress, put on another bonnet, and took
the artificials out of her cap, and put in blond riband
instead.
The CHAIRMAN—Did she put on the same dress
she had on when she came? Witness—No, it was
quite different. After dressing they came into the
lobby, and she said that a gentleman would call for
the luggage and pay for the lodgings. They were not
in the house house more than ten minutes.
Ellen Lodge, barmaid at the Railway Inn, Birken-
head; Ellen Lumber, a servant at the same inn; and
Mr. W. Watson, the landlord, were then called, and
they deposed to the prisoner and a man coming to
' the house on the afternoon of the day after the rob-
bery, and to the fact of the prisoner going to the
water-closet previous to leaving the house, and also

DISTRESS THE,IMANUFAC-
TURING DISTIITS.
The memii4i-s of the Society 5) Friends, ever
amongst the:foremost in works of sterling mercy and
charity, have set on foot, in Liverpool and elsewhere, a
subscription for the relief of the distressed poor in the
manufacturing districts. This fact, sR highly honour-
able to them, we learn from a circular -just issued,
from which the' following is an extract:—
" The distress which, as is Well known, has for a
considerable time existed to so large an extent in the
manufacturing districts, and which, from present ap-
pearances, it is feared may • continue, and even in-
crease, during the approaching wintir, has engaged
the attention of some Friends of LiVcipool, with refe-
rence to the propriety otraising a-'sifbscription, to be
expended in the relief Of the suffering poor of thoso
• districts.
" Friends of Yorkshire having, at the close of their
late quarterly meeting, resolved upon such a step, ap-
pointed a Committee to raise subscriptions for the re-
lief of the distress within that county, and a letter
having been received from a Friend near London, in-
timating that it was probable that Vriends in London
would meet, with a view to raise a subscription for
the same object; a meeting of a few Friends of Liver-
pool was held there on the sth day, the 6th of 10th
month, 1842, when the subject was discussed,. and it
was unanimously agreed that a subscription should be
raised, and that the co-operation and aid of Friends of
other meetings in Lancashire should be invited to
carry on the object in_ view ; and the following Friends
with power to add to their number, were appointed a
Committee for these purposes, namely :—Robert Ab-
batt, William Blain, George Crosfield, James Cros-
field, Isaac Hadwen, . Nicholas Martindale, Samuel
Stansfield, Alfred Waterhouse, Firth Woodhead ; Isaac
Hadwen, treasurer.
"The object and intention of the said meeting, and
of the Committee, is, in the first place, to solicit and
receive from Friends of Liverpool meeting, subscrip-
tions for relieving the distresses of the suffering poor
in Lancashire, and some of the adjacents parts of
Cheshire; and next, to correspond with and invite
the co-operaPon of Friends in the other meetings
within Lancashire quarterly meeting ; also, to corre
spond with Friends in London and other places ; as
it is confidently hoped that the subscriptions for this
henevolent purpose will not be limited to the places
already named.
" It is intended that the distribution of such funds
as may be thus raised; or with which this Committee,
may be entrusted, shall be to those places or districts
where it shall be hereafter found, by inquiry or cor-
respondence, that the largest amount of suffering
exists ;—having an especial regard to those villages or
districts where distress abounds, and where there are
not those resident who have the means of extending
relief to their suffering neighbours. •
" It is intended that the relief shall be distributed
in provisions, in clothing, or in money, according to
circumstances ; and in all cases where practicable, to.
communicate with Friends, and make them the me •
dium of distribution ; and where no Friends are resi-
dent,stheri to confide the distribution to some discreet
and trustworthy persons in each place, who may be
found willing to unite in this work of charity and
mercy."
An address from the Society of Friends in York-
shire, setting forth the frightful distress prevailing
amongst the labouring population in that county,
where, it is said, " tens of thousands, who would re-
joice in labour, are only prevented from perishing
with hunger by the hand of charity, or the scanty dole
of parish allowance," is quoted, and the circular thus
concludes
" Communications on the existence, and the parti-
culars of diStress ; statistical information of every kind,
and correspondent ! bearing on the subject generally,
are requested ; and may be addressed to any member
of the Committee, who will also be glad to receive sub-
scriptions.

raise this sum, and since they last signed a petition
hundreds of thousands have become repealers. The
50,0001., then, will be obtained; but it is desirable
that all parts of the kingdom should contribute. We
propose the following method of rendering the col-
lection general, and in some degree equal :—ln every
town a Committee must be formed, consisting Of
ladies and gentlemen, having a Secretary and Trea-
surer, whose names are to be forwarded to the Chair-
man of the Council in Manchester. A beautifully
engraved subscription card and a duplicate card will
be furnished to every collector, each card to represent
a certain sum, which the collector undertakes or will
endeavour to obtain ; the duplicate to be forwarded to
Manchester when the card is filled up. An account
of the sums collected is to be sent weekly to the
Council. In the villages and more retireddistricts,
where it inay not be convenient or practicable to form
Committees, the friends of the great cause will be pro-
vided with cards, and they can correspond directly
with the Chairman of the Council. It is intended
that the League fund shall be closed in January, 1843,
when a great aggregate meeting of the National Anti-
Corn-law League will be held in Manchester—(Ap-
plause)—at which the amount of subscriptions from
each district, town, and village will be announced.
To this great meeting all the ..iNfembers of the Houses
of Commons and Peers who have voted for a repeal of
the Corn- laws, with many other eminent individuals,
will he invited to attend, together with ministers of
religion of all denominations, deputies, and members
of the League from all parts of the kingdom.—(Re-
newed applause.)
The CHAIRMAN then introduced Kr. Ilindley, the
Member for As'eton.
Mr. C. IJINDLEY, M.P., rose, and was loudly.
cheered. He said,--Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gen-
tlemen, I am a decided friend to the repeal of the
Corn-laws.—(Applause.) I am a decided friend to
the entire freedom of trade.—( .!.pplause.) If I could
by any means assist in the object, I would desire to
see every Custom-house on the face of the earth de-
stroyed—(Hear, hear)—and every labourer, and every
manufacturer, and every one engaged in the pro-
duction of what is useful to himself or beneficial
to the community, allowed to exchange the sur-
plus of what he himself produces for the surplus
production of others.—(llear, hear, and applause.)
And I do conceive that the system is monerous
which encourages Custom-houses, or ana•thing else'
that would prevent the entire freedom of the exchange
of the surplus productions of one man for the sur-
plus productions of another.—(Applause.) I trust,
therefore, that in appearing before you to-night you
will not doubt my sincerity as a decided advocate of
the object you have in view. I am, as I said before,
a friend to the total repeal of the orn-laws ; lam a
friend to the entire freedom of trade ; and happy shall
:I be when I see every man allowed to exchange his
surplus commodities with his fellow-men all over the
world—when every one shall have the utmost reward
for his own industry.—(Applause.) Well, then, the
next point is, how are we to get it ?—(Hear.) It is all
very good—l should be delighted to find that calicoes
could be sold to-morrow at ls. a piece profit, instead
of 6d. a piece loss. I should be delighted to see that.
The question is, how can we get it ? it is not only
wise to have a good object, but it is also wise to have
'prudent means to accomplish that object. Now, look
your circumstances in the face. What did Lord
Abinger say respecting Chartism? Mr. Cobden
found fault with him the other day for having lugged
into his speech as a Judge a condemnation of the
Corn- law question. But what did he say
about Chartism ? He said that these principles
could never be carried, except with blood-
shed, and by upsetting the existing institutions of the
country. Do you think that the project of the total
and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws can be carried
without bloodshed ?—(Yes, yes.) That is the ques-
tion for our consideration. I came with the packet
from Boulogne in February last along with one of her
Majesty's household. He was a knowing man, and a
clever man.—(Laughter.) I did not know him per-
sonally, but I saw he belonged to the more uncompro-
mising portion of the aristocracy; and he told me—
" Sir, we don't intend this question to be carried; we
have the army at our back."—(Laughter.) He then
went on to tell me how, that some years ago he had
put a mob to flight, at the gates of Leicester, with a
force of only 20 men ; and he said " We shall fight
before we yield." This was from an anonymous gen-
tleman ; indeed, the whole tale is anonymous ; but, at
the same time, it shows me what I believe to be the
temper of the aristocracy ; they will fight hard before
they will yield this question. I don't mean they will
themselves fight, but they will employ all the force at
their command to prevent this question being carried.
Now, what I would ask is this :—I am an advocate
of peace, and I don't want one portion of society to
be set against another portion of society. Is there,
then, any means by which we can accomplish our ob
sec ' t without having recourse to fighting?—(Laughter.) I
have no need to urge arguments in favour of that
principle which you are met to adopt and encourage.
' Why, I cannot stir a step in the
street
without being
furnished, with one or other individuals, with argu-
ments in favour of your cause.—(Applause.) I metet
a most respectable man this day—a man whom
whol hada known in better circumstances—a maniv has
walked walked your Exchange as much respected asi
there, and he told me he had a letter from his son,
nho had gone to a district of America.educated
He had met
' there his sister, a lady who had been
of the boarding-schools in this neighbourhood, and lie
had found her and her children and dependents_ all in
a comfortable state of enjoyment, so far as food was
concerned; but actually without shoes or stockings,
or any of the comforts of life in reference to clothing.
—(Hear.) Such being the state of things, the first
reflection is, as these people have connexions in Man-
chester, could not their friends here send over the cloth-
ing they wanted ? No ; the Custom-house officer,
the tax-gatherer, puts his veto upon that, and insists
on the payment o a certain sum of money as duty,
which it is quite out of their power to furnish. What-'
is the situation in which our labourers here are
placed ? The other day
I met a number of hand-
loom weavers; and they were wishing to meet yes-
terday to state their grievances to the Queen. I asked
them their numbers ; they said there were 7,000 of
them, and that 4,000 were out e
of employment.-
-(Hear, hear.) Now, is it not most sad that we
should have 4,000 of these
laborious, hard-working
men out of employment, when there are people in
America and other places who are destitute of the
very articles which these men could furnish ? Here
are these people without food,
while the people on the
other side of the Atlantic are without clothing. There
does not need a single argument to show that the pre-
not do : the only question is, how

STOCKHOLM, OCT. 11.—An account was brought
yesterday from the High Bailiff of Upsal, that during
the last week offences against against the public se-
curity had taken place at Upsal, so that young stu-
dents had been attacked in the open streets after dark,
and beaten or stabbed ; that two persons had been ar-
rested on just grounds of suspicion, and the affair was
under examination. The Magistrates had been di-

reports his Majesty ordered the Chancellor to send a
properly qualified person to attend the investigation.

STEAM-BAKED BREAD, A LA VIENNA.—It has
been known for some time at Vienna, that if the
hearth of an oven be cleansed with a moistened wisp
of straw, bread baked therein immediately afterward':
presents a much better appearance, the crust having
a beautiful yellow tint. It was thence inferred that
this peculiarity must be attributed to the vapour,
which being condensed on the roof of the oven, fell
back on the bread. At Paris, in order to secure with

laid so as to form an inclined plane, with a rise of
about eleven inches in three feet, and the arched roof
is built lower at the end nearest the door, as compared
with the furthest extremity. When the oven is
charged, the entrance is closed with a wet bundle of
straw. By this arrangement the steam is driven down
