STATE of TRADE.
Boveow.—The mast etteniive and appalli misery
is said to prevail In this town: Without food and
clothing, and attacked by a disease of a peculiarly
malignant nature, a great portion of the manufacturing
population is represented to be in a most deplorable
state; and the subtcriptions are almost exhausted.—
Much of the deptiv.stion of the weavers arises flow the
extreme lowness of their wages. A very judicious and
pu%erful st,p has been adopted in an attempt to alle-
viate this evil, we hope with time chance of success.

HOCHDAI.2.—TheIe a,e upwards of ten thousand
persons ssi•ted ekly by means at a public subscrip-
tion, for svh.rn there remains no alrerniitive but starva-
• ion, shoslld chat, their only meAtis of siippisrt,be cut of.

MACCI.2 FlELD.—Extract if a letter dated Maccles-
field, April 28.-44 The applica. inns to the uvet seer ire I
on the increase, and in the adjoining small township of
Sutton, there were last week 4.0 persons relieved in one
day. It will be impossible for the parish to support the
burdens thrown upon it, unless some alteration takes
place; for on Wednesday week no less than 105 claim-
ants presen.ed themselves. To sum up the state of
thirgs here, 1 may say this unless some speedy and
effectual r. zrre.ly be administered, it must end in con-
sequence; to be sincerely &Timed. So depressed are
most branclie, of trade h..te, that pawnhtokei s, in many
cases, a eohli. ed to !rinse pledges, for want of sufficient
ready money to make the necessary advances."

iiitADYORIE—Unow4I and almost unparalleled dis-
tress--distress which, at some former pviodis would
almost have rent the frame of society asunder, has been
preoing upon ail classes of the community here ; and
yet it has been borne, not only without any spirit of in-
subordination being manifested, but without murmuring.
STOCKPORT.—W• have not the least improvement to
notice in the trade of this district during the last week :
on the contrary, the aspect of every thing is mix@ and
more gloomy. Several manufacturers have, we under-
stand, determined to close their works entirely as soon
as their stock of raw material is worked up —Stock!
port Advertiser.
Noftwrcu.—,6 No former period," says a letter from
Norwich, " has ever witnessed the distress which has
prevailed here during the last three mouths. We have,
out of a population of 60,000 persons, 14 000 relieved
oat of doors, 700 of whom are set to work in the roads
and streets, one shilling per day ;700 are in the work-
home, and 100 in the infirmary. Our rates will be this
quarter ten billings in the pound ; and the prospect of
trade is very bad."

EMI:MAT-WIC-At the meeting of weavers on SAtur-
dal- last, amongst other modes of relief suggested for
the increasing misery, it was proposed that application
should be made to Government for a grant to transport
those who were willing to the new establishments in
Canada, similar to what was done some years ago. This
was objected to, on the ground that the season would
be too far advanced ere any thing could be done, but
the proposer adverted to what was the case with the
first settlers in New Perth; it was late in the year before
they arrived at Kingston, and they were subsisted
during the winter by Government, anal alto* ed to work
where they could find it ; besides, there was no settle-
ment formed, whereas now, land was I.tii down in
townships. and ready for occupying. From all accounts,
those who remained on the lands, and were industrious,
bad yearly increased in wealth and wot idly comforts;
an), to be sure, those who would not apply themselves
there, as well as anywhere else, could not expect suc-
cess. The question was deferred till another oppor.

place before the Commisioners, Messrs. Montague,
Meggison, Edison, /cc. at the Court, 114singhall-street.

GUII.OHALL

Mr nasty now, a surgeon of some eminence in the Walwarth
Road, was charged with assaulting Mr. J. Berridge, a gentlemati
Mho has also acquired some notoriety by his unremitting endeavours'
to convince the Ministers, the Parliament, and the Puir:ic, that the
whole British Navy is affected with the dry rot. The easy seemed
to he, that Mr. Berridge joined a numerous patty of Ladies and
gentlemen, at the Furnival's Inn Hotel, at a very We Toone, and
found the Ladies amusing themselves with slipping from one to tho
other Mr. Thorpe's sioulf.borr. Nose it happened that Mr. Thorpe
is, as Ic desctihed himself, an inveterate snuff.taket. The Ladies
handed the boa to Mr. Berridge, who secreted it in another room,
but it was subsequently restored to the Surgeon. Mr, 'Thorpe had
repeatedly begged Mr. B. to restore his snuff-box, but the latter in-
timated that it had been sent out of the house; and when he found
that it was in Mr. B.'s possession at that very time, he publicly told
him his conduct was sally and insulting; to which Mr. Berridge
replied, that his adversary was a ditty pitiful scoundrel. Thereupon
ensued, to use Mr. Burridge's own words, " The greatest dis-
turbance that perhaps ever happened in the world!" Mr. T.
struck Mr. Berridge such a blow that he, chair and all, came to the
ground with an alarming clatter, and the company was broken up.
Mr. T. thought the language applied to him justified his violence%
but Mr. Alderman Co: thought otherwise, and ordered him to
And bail.

BOW-STREET.

Saturday, a young man of very gentlemanly appearance, who
gave his name Jain Rowell, was brought up in cuitudy, charged on
suspicion of stealing a gold watch and a valuable d.smontl pin.—
Remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Banks. the landlord of the Blue Posts, in the Haymarket, was
convicted in the penalty of M. by Mr. Ron. on Saturday, for having
his home open at half-past three o'clock in the morning, on the oc.
CASiOJI of the Fancy Dress Ball for the relief of the distressed Spa-
niards,/ at the King's Theatre, a few nights ago.

WORSHIP STREET.

Saturday, Artists Ben.*ld, Robert S 2 vmg e , and Marks Wily*, were
charged with breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr.
Robert Bigg, a coal-merchant, at Islington, and stealing property
to a considerable amount.

Maria Goodwin, servant to Mr. Bigg, stated, that she slept in
the front kitchen. On the preceding Saturday night, about twelve
o'clock, she fastened the doors and windows, and locked the front
kitchen door. She awoke about a qu4rter efore five o'clock, and
then discovered the house had been broken into. The back kitchen
windows had been bored through with a centre-bit, and the bar
inside had been removed. The robbers entered the kitchens, and
must have passed the servant asleep in bed, and had gone up stairs,
where they bad forced a desk and several lucks, and had taken
"away a pocket-book containing bills and bank-notes. There were
also missing a work-box, a lamp. &c. The same morning Parker.
a watchman in Shoreditch, about half past four o'clock, in Hackney
Road, observed the threeprieeners turn nut of Union-street, and
come towards him. Wilson bad a parcel under his left arm. Just
as they came opposite, two other watchmen turned out of Union-
street, and beckoned to Parker, who instantly went up to the pri-
soners, who an three turned round and faced him. Parker went up
to lay hold of Wilson, but be ran away. The watchman threw his
stick after him, when be dropped the work-bcx, which proved to be
the same which Mr. Bigg had lost, and they then ran off. lt was
stated by a man named Jackson, that he saw Retitled and Savage
run down Cooper's Garaens, and they had a centre-bit, which they
passed from one to the other, and then threw it over a wall, where
it was afterwards found, and exactly fitted the marks on Mr. itgg's
shutter. Jackson pursued Benfield and Savage, but they turned
round and each of them presented a pistol, and at length all the
Prisoners made their escape.
• The sinkers of this establishment having received this information,
Armstrong, in company with Attfield and Eagles, went to a house
in Kent street, in the Borough, and there they found Wilson.—
They told him they took hint on charge of a felony, and he made
no resistance.
On Friday night, they gained intelligence where to find the other
prisoners, who they knew always went armed. Armstrong, Gfeed,
Attfield, Vann, and Raglea, accordingly proceeded to a public house.
and entered the tap room about eight o'clock. Bonfield and Savage
were in a box, smoking. The moment they saw the officers, they
jumped up ; and just as Benfield was drawing a loaded pistol front
Isis Pocket, Hanley rushed upon him and held his arm, and the pistol
fell on the Boor • and in the confusion, Eagle's pistil off. bat
fortunately without wounding any body. At the same time Arm-
strong and Vann secured Savage. On Benfield, who resisted being
searched, they found a snuff box, a toothpick ease, and a small
knife, which were stolen from Mr. Bin's house. The pistols were
both loaded and primed. and each of the prisoners had bullets in
their pocket. Savage's lodgings were also searched, and a lamp
was found, which Mrs. lhgg proved to be theirs.
Previous to the arrest of these men, two mown, named Matilda
Hall and Emily Savage, residing in Crab Tree row where Ben field
and Savage resorted, were apprehended on suspk.ion of receiving
the property, and committed to Clerkenwell for further damnation.
It appeared these women had written to Benfieid and Savage to
warn them to be off, for in searching Benfield the officers found the
following letter :

" Clerkettwell, Wednesday, April 26, 1826.
"My everlasting dears—Keep up your spirits, as I believe we

" MATILDA H. KAIILY S."

A young woman from Ludgate-hill proud. that one of Mr. Bites
101. notes had been eachangeil there on Monday by a woman. AU
the prisoners were remanded.

The Receipts for the new 4 per cent. Scrip have been
lamed from the Bank, and are now in general circulation in the
market. Trnsactiens to an immense event appear to have been
entered into in the scrip, contingent on the delivery, but the adjust-
ment of them has eteated no diflcuky. It was expected that the
new stock would become a faverrke investment, and the tranue.
dons of yesterday fully conftrat this. The amount of scrip paid up
and convened into stock, chiefly by the Bankers, is estimated at
nearly 1,000,0064 This shows that the amount of unemployed
capital left idle through the want of confidence in private credit is
I very great, since solute a drain as became requisite for the purpose
of paying the instalments en the scrip was scarcely perceptii e
yesterday in the money-market. Capitalists are willing to take tie
Government allowance of discount at the rate of three per cell,.
rather than trust to
private channels at far or a. per cent.
