LONDON MARKETS, .CULT 16.

COTTON.—Marketsure improving ; the accounts
from Manchester as to Twist, and several descrip-
tions of manufactured goods, are more favourable ;
in consequence of very considerable orders being re-
ceived, the holders of Cotton last week again advan-
ced in their demands :—rernams, 2s. 2d. a few ordi.
nary, 2s. lid. Babies, 23d. 13oweds, 19d. Grenada
and Carricou, 2111 a 2341.1. Cayenne, 2s. Cartha.
gena, by public sale, 17id. a Ind. Suriname, 2s.
and Bengals were sold in the warehouse at ind. a
1:141 The sales would have been much more ex-
tensive had not the holders advanced the prices of
Cotton ; Maranhams and &dries would now sell
readily at 231 Of Bowels and West' India descrip-
tions there is little or none left in the market.
Znomt.—When we inserted the late alterations in.
the bounty, we stated its effect would be .seveicly
felt by the trade in this country, and that it would
act as a stimulus to the foreign manufacturer ;—the
'truth of the assertion is ale ady too evident there
was little or no business doiiig in the refined market
last week, the prices of the raw article again de-
clined 2s. a 3s. per cwt. the purchases of tire latter
were ;chiefly for exportation, and for the supply of
foreign manufacturers ; strong Jamaicas on board a
British ship were sold at 4:ls. a 465. The rtfiners
purchase very trivial parcels, as they cannot g:ve
the price for Muscovades, on account ut the depressed
prices of refined goods, and the almost total stagna-
tion of the export trade. On Friday, a public sale of
114 hhds. chiefly J.timica blmcovsties, were brought
forward, strong 70s. 6d. a its. good 795. Sc. Kitts
70s. the prices were generally about two shillinks
beloW what bad been considered the currency of the
market.

For Refined there was no export demand, but pur.
chases could,be made at the same rates as previously
to the alteration in the bounty, so that the reduction
4s. a 6s. per cwt. on the bounty would fall upon the
manufacturer. should the prices r:f Muscovades not
'decline in proportion ; the wholesale grocers last
week made a lew purchases at the reduction of one
shilling a two shillings.
COFFEIL—The public sales last week consisted of
1246 casks and 413 bags, the prices were generally
Is. a 2s. lower ; good ordinary Jamaica 60s. a 61s.
6d. and 635. fine ordinary 655. 6d. a 68s. middling
765. good and fine middling 85s. 6d. a 935. There
was more demand for the Dutch, owing to the
ted parcels lately brought forward ; the prices of
East India Coffee are noniinal, on account of die
sale of sixteen thousand bags declared for die 24th
instant.

TOBACCM—The prices of Tobacco are without va
Slam ; and the orders from the Centinent are so li-
mited as to price, they cannot be executed.
TALLOW.—The prices of Foreign Tallow have de-
clined about Is. per cwt.
SALTPETRE—The price of this article has declined
2s. or Ss.

RUM, BRANDY, AND Howmos.—The prim of
Jamaica Rum cannot be stated at airy depression,
the market is, however, very heavy. Geneva is
without variation ; from the considerable arrivals of
Brandy, the prices have again declined. •

The amended Act fur the Relief of Insolvent
Debtors in England materially changes the provisions
of the first law. By the new Act it is said—

al That front and after the passing of this Au, if it shalt appear
to the court established by virtue of the *aid recited Act (the
Act liar the relief of Insolvent Debtors), upon the examinadon of
alp prisoner, or otherwise, that such prisoner has acted with
gross injustice towards his or her creditor or creditors, either in
contracting any debts, or tutoring into any eogagements, without
say fair prospect or prohibit means of paying such debts, or
fulfilling such engagements, or by squandering or otherwise lot.
Froperly disposing of Ms or ha moles, effects, or other property,
why he er she might bees appUrd in paying such debts or ful-
filling sucherigagenmats, aloha whiny. orbs-part, such prisoner
'shall not be entitled to Ws or her discharge by virtue of the said
reeked Act, unless the vfbois of the creditors of such prisoners
stalLconseat to his or by discharge, or mckprisoner shall have
been coogoed within the was of any prison for the space of five
yeah, to be compitted trona the dose Ow sorb prisoner shall
Svc applied furbis, or her dish.

Matratosalams.—Yestereay awry and PeThaws,
charged with courting to procure the conviction of
the three Irishmen for coining were again brought
before the Loan MAYOR, when several witnesses were
examined.
Cartwright ind Leadbetter, the marshalmen, stated,
that in pursuance of the directions of the Lord,
Mayor, they had gone in search of Brock, one of the
parties suspected of being implicated with the pri.
loners in the present charge. That person, however,
was no where to be found, not was he at his lodg•
ings the whole of Monday night.
'l'. White, an officer, 'deposed to his knowledge of
the apparent intimacy that existed between. Barry,
Pelham, Brock, Browne, and Vaughan. Pelham,
when he first gave evidence against the Irishmen, at
Guildhall, then stated that he was a servant out of
-place. The witness knew a public-house in Barbi-
can, where the parties were in the habit of meeting,
but which was now dosed. One of the principal
persons, however, acquainted with the conspiracy, he
was in hopes of tracing.
Randall MsDonnell stated, that he was at the
market, as it is called, in King-street, Cheapside, on
the morning when the three Irishmen were appre-
hended. The latter' had come there as bricklayer's',
labourers to look for employment, when the prisoner
Bury came up, and desired to know if they wanted
a job." He heard afterwards of the commitment
of the three men, and knowing their innocence, had
gone to the Old Bailey to learn their fate. On this
occasion he spied the prisoner Barry (who had pre-'
Piously been walking in the press-yard with Brock,
Pelham, and another), and upon attempting to give
him in charge, he was knocked down by a man who,
escaped, while Barry fled. The latter person, how.
ever, being pursued, was, after mstch resistance, se-
cured. The dress he wore on that occasion was sin-
gularly different from what it was on the present oc-
casion. He had not the slightest doubt of his person.
Elizabeth Pritchard stated. that she was employed
to let lodgings in a house in Anoel-alley, Moor-lane,
Cripplegate ; about two days previous to the appre-
hension of the three men, she let a two-pair of stairs
room so two young men : she could not say that it
was to either or both of the prisoners, with whom
she was unacquainted. She saw the convicted men
when apprehended in the room, and then thought
two of them were those who took the room. The
persons who did so spoke the English language
very well.
_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _

This witness, who denied any knowledge of the
prisoners, upon being pressed, acknowledged that
Pelham had called upon her after the three men Lad
been taken into custody. Being ordered to go to
Newgite, and see whether any 'of the convicted per-
sons were those who hired the room, she repaired
there, but was unable to identity any individual.
Mr. Westwood, of the 'loose of Kaye and Co.
stated, that he was acquainted with all the parties,
namely, Pelham (who had gone by the names of
Murphy and Phelim), Brock, and Berry. They bad
each been with him respecting bad money.
Pelham confessed that he had been to the house of
Mrs. Pritchard, but it was to ask what had become
of a board found in a room at the time the three
Irishmen were apprehended, and to ask her who it
WAS that had taken the room.

Barry denied having any share in the, conspiracy,
but (although he yesterday denied all knowledge of
Pelham) he now confessed, that on a particular oc-
casion the latter applied to him to watch a man
named Browne, who was then passing counterfeit
tokens. He declared vehemently, he was uas inno-
cent of the present charge as the three men who were
convicted on Saturday.
Mr. But gess, who had taken much pains to un-
ravel this mysterious affair, said, that if some little
time more were allowed, he would undertake to bring
forward the most conclusive evidence of the connec-
tion long existing between the two prisoners, Brock
and George Browne.
The Lono MAYOR said, that the connection was
most satisfactorily proved by the best information
he could obtain; and from this he could• net but
consider Pelham as a principal, while Barry had
been sworn to as a party. Much other evidence,
however, seemed still wanting: and after consulting
with Mr. Westwood, Mr. Burgess, Ike. his Lordship
ordered the prisoners to be remanded, and kept sepa-
rately confined. _ _ _

john and lidward Smith were charged with bur-,
glariously entering the dwelling-houses of Mr. Sweet
and Mr. &eight, of Sweeting's-alley, Cornhill, with
intent to steal, on Monday night.
Some of the watchmen on duty near the spot,,
between twelve and one o'clock, having heard a
noise, as they described, .4 like the gnawing of a rat,"
they proceeded to examine the place, when one of
-the doors of Mr. Sweet's house was suddenly thrown
open, and the prisoners rushed out into the street.—
They were, however, secured ; and it was afterwards
discovered that the prisoners had entered one of the
houses by means of picklock-keys, and then cut an
aperture into the house adjoining. La both houses
there was an immense quantity of jewellery, besides
other property. The prisoners were remanded.
Boa-wiser.—Yesterday Jame: 7oulmin, an inha-
bitant of Vine-street, St. Martin's, was brought to
the Office, charged with violently assaulting and
wounding John Toulmin, his nephew, a petty officer
in the Navy. The latter appeared in a white jacket
with sleeves over his shirt, both of which were torn
to rags and covered with blood, which was occa- ,
sioned by the violence of the prisoner, his uncle, and
the violence of the blows he gave him. The prisoner
did not deny the assault and violence, but justified it
by saying it was in consequence of the impropriety
of his nephew's conduct, he having lately spent en
in the course of a few days idly in riding on horse-
back, &c. The nephew, in reply, said his uncle
kept a house of ill fame in Vine-street, and his not
choosing to resort to it was the cause of his uncle
treating him in the manner he had done. Mr. Bltt•
isx, the Magistrate, ordered the uncle to find bail,
and said he would cause the conduct of his house to
be noticed.

John Callen and Jana Wood were charged by John
Townsend, belonging to the Office, with attempting
to rob several Gentlemen as they were coming out of
Covent-garden Theatre, at the time the performance
was over, under the portico. He saw Cullen at.
tempt several Gentlemen's pockets. Wood was 6
the company of Cullen, and attempted to run limey.

• toirticted u rogues and vagabonds under
.trfllerklice Act.
Williams Redder was charged with feloniously steal-
ing 300 dollars, the property of Col. Jarvis, who
his lately returned from America. He met the pri.
toner by accident, and recollected him to have lived
in the capacity of a groom with his brother. He
listened to his tale of poverty and distress, owing to
his nut being able to procure employment, and very
humanely allowed him to go to his residence in Duke-,
street, St. James's, till he got a place : during that
time he assisted the servants in removing bags con-
iaining 1,800 dollars into Colonel J.,rvis's bed-room.
Lsst Thursday a hag, containing 500 dollars, was
discovered to have been stolen, when the prisoner, v. !to
had previously to that time appeared to be in a very
digressed state, was well dressed, had plet:ty of
money, and was intoxicated. These are the princi-
pal grounds of suspicion against the prisoner. He
endeavoured to account for his conduct, but by no
means satisfactorily. He produced a tailor, who had
made him clothes, but not those he appeared in. lie
said he was possessed of upwards of sB2l, and that
he had only pretended to be distressed, knowing Col.
Jarvis to have been very generous when he was a
youth, he expected he would have givers him a Xi
note. He produced a written character from Sir
B. Bloomfield, whom he lived with at Carlten-house.
The prisoner was committed for further examination.
• WORIHIP-STREET.—CIIAROE. OF STARBlNo.—,Yes-
terday J. Hatliinr was brought up and examined be-
fore Mt. GIFFORT, the Sitting Magistrate, on a charge
of stabbing Mr. Jamts Thomas, with intent to murder
him. Mr. Thomas is a shoemaker in Wh!tecross.
street. Between eleven and twelve o'clock last Sunday
morning he heard a violent knocking at the door,
which was immediately burst open, and the prisoner
rushed into the room ; he was rather Alarmed at first,
having never seen him but once before in his life;
( the man stared wildly, and then cried out " do'nt
you know me ?" Mr. Thomas answered 4. Yes, I
think I do. Gond Gad, is there any thing the matter ?
—if so, sit down, and we will rectify it :" but in-
stead of sitting down, he drew a soldier's bayonet
from under his coat, and exclaimed, " You d—d
villain, I am come to murder you, and murder you
I will," and instantly stabbed him in the breast : the
prosecutor then attempted to wrest the bayonet from
him, and called out Murder," when several neigh-
bours entered, who seized the prisoner, and succeeded
in securing him : Mr. T. then immediately went to
the doctor's, who dressed his wound, and expressed
his hope it was not mortal. This evidence was cor-
roborated by other persons. The prisoner did not
deny the charge, and was fully committed for trial.

Thursday morning a violent affray took place in
a field near HAM ich, called the Cro:s-patli Yield :
tour sailors belonging to the Active revenue cutter,
of that port, had been in the King's Arms public-
house, drinking, where also were sime soldiers ;—on
quitting it, they proceeded to another on the road,
and on their return through the above field, they
wire attacked by eight soldiers, without any previous
notice, and assaulting them with short bludgeons,
knocked the sailors down, among whom a tnln
named Wilkinson, received so severe a blow that he
died in a short time. The others not being so severely
struck, one named Deane, wrested a bludgeon from
the soldiers, and, being a powerful man, he used it
with so much effect, as to make the villains decamp.
A Jury sat on the body of the deceased, and brought
in a verdict—Died in a fit of apoplexy, brought on,
by blows from some persons unknown. The soldiers
could not be identified.

MURDZIL—We mentioned the following atrocious
murder briefly yesterday. This is a more ample
statement :

" LONDONDERRY* JULY 2.—At seven o'clock, OR
Tuesday evening, the 2d inst. as NontoN BUTLER,
Esq. of Grouse Hall, in the Barony of Ennishowen,
had quitted his house to go to a flax kiln at a short
distance from his dwelling, four armed ruffians, who
had been lurking for him, rushed out from their con-
cealment, when two of the villains took a deliberate
aim, and fired at so short a distance from hip, as to
prevent the possibility of his escape. He received a
ball, which passed through the fleshy part of the
thigh, shattered the bone, and brought liim tr the
ground ; at the same Instant another of the mon-
sters, with a gun and fired bayonet, made a despe-
rate stab at his body, which Mr. BUTLER (although
fallen) warded off, and it was plunged into the same
thigh that the ball had perforated, passing into the
ground some inches. In this horrid situation Mr.
BUTLER grasped the gun, and, although in the
agonies of death, retained his hold, when a pistol
dropped from the bosom of the murderer, who loosed
his hold, and the whole party made off, leaving him
pinioned to the ground, and in possession of the arms.
Mr. BUTLER lingered until twelve o'clock that night,
and then expired. He has left a widow and a nume-
rous family to bewail his loss. The antipaty of the
murderers to this gentleman, seem to have arisen from
his activity in detecting illegal stills."

It is incredible the number of persons that fall vic-1
tims to disorders, produced by consulting illiterate
pretenders—the latent seed of. a dreadful disease is
suffered to lurk in the system, and too riften shorten
life; these circumstances induced Dr. Conran, and
three Surgeons of thirty years experience, to establish
a Medical Board at Charlotte-House, Great Char.
lotte-street, opposite the Rev. Rowland Hill's Cha-
pel, Blackfriars' Road. The Medical Board claims
the attention of those who have been improperly
treated, and particularly those afflicted with &tic
tures, Fistulas, Cancers, Scrolulas, Nervous Debili-
ties, arising from warm climates, juvenile indiscre-
tions, &c. Eruptions on the head, face, and body,
sore eyes, ulcerated throat, mouth, and no,v, pai►is
in the head and limbs, frequently mistaken for rheu-
matism ; nodes on the On bones, &c. arc symptoms
which appear years after, and often embitter the
matrimonial state. Messri. COOPER and Cos are
consulted daily by all ranks of people germ eight in
the morning until nine at night ; 'or by letter, inclo-
sing a fee (for no others are answered) stating their
