CORONER'S INQUEST.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the
tavern, Russell-street, Bermondsey, on the body of a permn:
known, who had been found drowned early last Sunday m0n,i,.4
The Jury proceeded to examine the body, which was lying in 4'
mondsey workhouse; it was in a rapid state of decornpo.itio..
There did not appear, as far as investigation could take place, 3-,
marks of violence upon it.
Edward Berry, a bargeman, said, that about half-past aix o'ci,,,,
on Sunday morning he was on board his barge, when he obwer%E.,l
the body of a person floating down the Thames close by 4
Witness got another man to assist him, and, after having throw;,,
rope round the body, took it on shore. It was the opinion of sit.
news that it had been in the water a long time. The hair was oil the
head, and the skin geed from the hands. Deceased had on a black
coat, waistcoat, and trowsers, long drawers, mixed-coloured tin,
worsted stockings, and Wellington boots. Witness was quite V.,
rant of the deceased.

Painter, the beadle, said that in the pockets of the duce m
were a long black red purse empty, a comb, a knife with two blath
and twopence halfpenny in money. There were no initials on al,.
part of his clothes, nor any letter or papers upon him to give any Ir.
formation who the unfortunate person was.
The Jury were considerably divided as to their opinion of the age
of the deceased, some stating it about forty or forty-five, others “t
not man than eighteen or twenty. There is rather a particular semi.
circular mark, apparently a natural one, on the left arm, which may
probably afford some clue to discovering who he was.—Verdict
" Found drowned."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.
Charles Hari, a smart-looking young man, was charged with .tr
extensive dilapidation upon the premises of Mr. Collins, his land.
lord. Mr. Collins stated that in November last he had the mistor
tune to let a house in Sun.street, Bishopsgate, to the prisoner, whit
said he intended to convert the premises into a blacking manufactory.
The rent not being forthcoming, he employed a person to levy ; but
when he went to put the warrant into execution, the house war
without furniture ; nay, sans doors, sans shelves, wins bells, sans
cupboards, sans every thing. The dilapidation. could not be deemed
at less than 701. These facts were also proved by another witness.
Mr. Alderman krxrirs inquired of the prisoner who and wha.
he was ? He said that he was the son of a respectable man at Liver.
pool; he did not deny the charge, but he said the house did not
sutra Ids purpose. The Alderman then committed him for trial.

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday four members of the prize ring, named John Gate
Thomas Teasdale,_ William Wolk and John Robinson, wet,
brought before Sir R. BIRIZIL, charged with having been guilty et
brawling in Gate-street Chapel, Lincoln's Inn-fields, during dinnu
service on Sunday, and also with having most grossly as.sultee.
several of the congregation and two police constables, who per,
called upon to quell the riot.
It appeared that the offenders had been drinking in a neighbour. k
iag public-house, and that they sallied forth a little before on,
o'clock, and proceeded to the chapel, in the hall of which they re-
mained laughing and jeering until the service had concluded, whet,
they attacked the congregation generally as they were retiring to
their homes, and knoceotn several of them. The utmost con-
sternation and confusion was the result of this most brutal and un-
provoked conduct ; and it was greatly feared that the rush back into
the chapel which ensued would have occasioned the loss of lives. As
soon as the police constables arrived they were instantly knocked
down by the ruffians, who then cleared their way with their fists,
and retreated into the Roebuck public house, from whence they we..
taken, after a desperate resistance, by a reinforcement of the police.
many of whom exhibited black eyes and broken heads, which th,
had received in the affiay.
Sir RICHARD BIRNIE declared that the conduct of the de-
fendants was bad beyond any thing he had ever heard, and proved
the brutal and depraved disposition of the class to which they be-
longed. It was a case in which the Governors of the chapel ought
to prosecute.
The Governors said it was not their wish to press the case, but
expressed their willingness to render the police constables every
possible assistance, in case they should prosecute for the assaults.
Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, however, would not suffer them to forego
a public duty, and accordingly had them bound over to prosecutv.
and held the defendants to bail upon that charge.
The evidence respecting the several assaults was then taken, and
the defendants were required to put in bait in each case.
They were then removed and locked up in default.
HAT TON-GARDEN.
Yesterday a respectable-looking young man, named John Clem.
luxe was brought before Mr. Lamm, on a charge of having stolen
a considerable quantity of Olen plate from the dwelling-Louse of
Mrs. Elis. Fowell Scott, Devonshire-place, New-road, on Weilnes.

James Winter, servant to Mrs. Scott, deposed that be had knou.
the prisoner some time ; he lived as servant in the neighbourLoot!.
On Wednesday morning, the day the robbery was committed, ti:t
prisoner called on witness a little before one o'clock. Witness had
occasion to go up stairs for about three minutes. He left the pr
user in the pantry, where the plate was. On his return the prisoner
and the plate, consisting of two dozen large table forks, one dozer tn
dessert ditto, 18 silver spoons, a silver ewer, &c. were gone. Infer.
mation was given of the robbery to Buckridge, an officer of Marl.
borough-street Office, and a reward was offered for his apprehension.
The prisoner was taken into custody by police officer 77 F divieior
Buckridge stated that none of the plate had yet been found.
Mr. Lawn rounded the prisoner.

HUDDERSFIELD, APRIL B.—Hudderafield market, on
Tuesday last, was of the same dull, fiat character as that of thL
preceding week. The sanguine hopes which we were autl-u-
-rised to entertain a few weeks ago, of a permanent revival in trade.
are in some measure disappointed. There is, however
great deal more business doing now, in the cloth trade,' however,
there was at the commencement of the year; the: old stock of
goods has in a Feat measure been disposed of, and re-placed by
new. The price of wool has advanced, and that of goods ad:
inevitably follow; but if the price of labour be not advanced
there will be no alleviation of the distress so loudly and so justly
complained of.—The blanket trade in Dewsbury and Heckmondwike
was never in a lower state of depression than at present, and tha..
of carpets is equally de _Another correspondent confirms th:
above statement and adds that, " the fancy trade is not so good al
it was some weeks ago."—Leeds Mercury.
STATE OP 711 E MAWUTACTURPS.—We have taker.
some pains to ascertain the state of trade in London, as tar an
regards the manufactures of the North, and we find, from the con-
current report of that very important body the " warehousemen."
as they are called, that the spring trade is in a flourishing and
healthy state ; that the business in the woollen, the linen, the cotton
and the silk lines, is doing to profit and to a great amount ; and
that the country shopkeepers buy with spirit and pay with greet
regularity, a large proportion of them making their payments i:.
money and availing themselves of the discount for prompt pa,.
menus. Profits, it is allowed on all hands, are low, but there are
profits, and the risk of bad debts is greatly reduced. As we hay.
already stated, the raw materials generally of wool, cotton, flax,ahi
silk, have all advanced within the last two or three month., and
the prices remain steady, with an inclination upwards.—Len:.
Mercury.
