(BEFORE Mn. HAMILTON.)

STEALING BUTTER.—Mary Smith, who had been re-
manded from Saturday, on a charge of stealing Mb& of
butter, was brought up and sentenced to be imprisoned for
seven days. _

yV
PICKING POCKETS.—James Kelly, a lad, was charged
with picking the pocket of Elizabeth Hampton on Saturday
evening in St. Martin's market. The prosecutrix felt the
prisoner put his hand in her pocket ; and her brother, who
was with her, saw him take out her purse, containing
Bs. 7d. The money and purse were found on him, and
the prisoner, who was an old offender, was committed for
trial. _

ILLEGAL PAWNING.—AIfred Worthington, a black
sailor, charged with taking away an over-coat belong-
ing to another coloured man, from a boarding-house in
which they both lived, and pawning it for 75., was con-
victed and ordered to pay a fine of 20s. and 7s. costs, or to
suffer fourteen days' imprisonment.
ALLEGED THEFT OF A BASKET AND CONTENTS.—Hugh
Owen was charged by a married woman of decent appear-
ance, named Ann Mitchell, belonging to New Brighton,
with having struck her a severe blow on the face, and
stolen a basket from her, on Saturday night, in Water-
street. The prosecutrix said, that having come over to
Liverpool on some business, which, having executed, she
was making the best of her way down Water-street,
towards the Landing-stage on her road home, carrying
two baskets, when she was met by the prisoner, who struck
her severely in the face, cutting her lip, and knocking her
down. He then ran off with the basket, and she called
on a police constable, who followed, and took the prisoner
into custody. He had the basket in his possession when
apprehended. On being asked what he had to say, the
prisoner said as he was proceeding along Water-street he
met the prosecutrix, who asked him to assist her in
carrying her basket, which he agreed to do. On which
she invited him into a public-house, to have a glass, and
both went in and had a glass or two of whiskey. When
they came out, both being as he said " very forward in
liquor," the prosecutrix fell, and as she rose she called out
" police" and gave him into custody. The prosecutrix
denied this in in toto.; but the policeman in stating that
she was " tipsy" when she came to the office, and as the
prisoner said he could prove their being in a public-house
together and were both intoxicated, the case was adjourned
till this day.

ATTEMPTING TO STEAL A CIIILD.—A squalid-looking
young woman, of forbidding aspect, named Margaret
Cochrane, was charged with attempting to steal a child,
about three years old, belonging to Elizabeth Meany,
from the house in which the latter lodged, on Saturday
night, in Addison-street. The prisoner, who was drunk
at the time she endeavoured to commit the offence, was
detected taking the child down the stairs of the house, and
was stopped. She was dismissed, with an admonition to
beware of how she made any such attempts in future.
THEFT BY MEANS OF HOUSEBREAHING.—Joseph
Dunn, John Stott, James Drewton, and Charles Green,
were charged with breaking into the house of Smith,
in Cherry-lane, between Friday night and Saturday
morning,- and stealing a quantity pf wearing apparel. A
considerable portion of the stolen property was found in
the possession of Stott, and Dunn, who had helped him-
self to a pair of good shoes, left his old boots and a hand-
kerchief in the house of Smith. Newton and Green did
not appear to be implicated in the matter further than by
being acquaintances of the other two prisoners, and they
were discharged. Dunn and Stott were committed for
trial.

CIIA.BGB OP ROBBING A TlLL.—Cornelius Thompson
was charged with stealing 14s. from the till of a spirit
vault, kept by Mary Mathews, in Crosshall-street, on
Friday afternoon. It appeared that the prisoner had been
drinking in the house during Friday, and was frequently
seen leaning over the counter, as if endeavouring to ob-
tain access to the till, and, on examining it, 14s. were
missed. It was stated that a material witness was ab-
sent, and the case was remanded till to-day.

ALLEGED CAPTURE OF LORD DUNKELLIN.—The
Morning Post states that the family of this young noble-
man have been specially favoured by the Government
with the intelligence that there is no truth whatever iu
the statement that he had fallen into the hands of the

Russians.
GEAcE, M.P. von COVENTRY, died on Wecnesday
afternoon. The deceased began life as a clerk in the
Birmingham branch of the Bank of England on the small
salary of £l5O per annum. From that situation he was
selected as the managing director of the Birmingham and
Midland Joint-stock Bank, which he conducted with
great ability and credit. He was a few years since the co-
partner in the patent for the railway axletree, a lucrative
monopoly, which, though the patent has expired, hap con-
tinued a large source of wealth to the two proprietors.
Mr. Geach was a director of the Crystal Palace Company,
of the Manchester, Sheffield. and Lincolnshire, and of the
Shrewsbury and Birmingham railways, and he was a large
contractor for working power. He was also the principal
and active partner in one of the most exteneive manufac•
tories of machinery in Staffordshire.

DIED,

On the 13th September, at the Sandheads, Calcutta, in
his 16th year, William, the beloved son of Mrs. Isabella
Cannon, Liverpool. The deceased was a passenger on
board the Camertonian, having been recommended a long
sea voyage for his health, and was lost with that vessel
and all her crew but three. He was a promising youth,
the only child of his mother, and she a widow. Her
grief is most intense, but it is to be hoped that, with the
Shunamite woman, she can say, though with bleeding
heart and faltering step, " it is well,—all well ;" and sub-
missively respond to a bereaving Providence,—" not my
will, but thine, 0 Lord, be done."

TRADE AND MARKETS

♦
MANUFACTURES.
MANCHESTER.—Provisions have attain

rates that t

Id for manufact

ed such ex-

is no probability of the

red goods improving until a

much lower rat

has been established. The accounts
from the foreign markets are still of an unfavourable cha-
racter, and we learn from India and China that the Mar-
kets continue dull, whilst the imports are heavy ; and
large further supplies, in transitu, forbid any hope that
much improvement in prices can soon occur, even should
the demand revive and increase considerably. On Tuesday
the market continued dull and inanimate, and there was
no alleviation of the depression that has existed of late.
Prices have still a drooping tendency, and in some in-
stances at low rates small lots have been moved. India
yarns are about *d. lower this week, and at the full reduc-
tions some few sales have been effected, but the purchases
have been entirely as a speculation. For China there is
still less doing, whilst the German houses continue entirely
inactive. The only operations of moment in the goods
market are by the Greek houses, who continue to pur-
chase their peculiar class of goods, but their operations
are restricted to such things as are in stock, no orders for
future delivery being given out. India shirtings continue
very dull, The working of short time begins to extend
more rapidly. At Bury several of the mill-owners have
reduced their hours of working. At Rochdale, Messrs.
Bright have stopped some of their looms, and at Black-
burn, and in that district, a similar course is likely to
extend.

ROCHDALE.—The demand for flannels continues very
good, and is quite equal to the supply ; prices are firm.
No new feature in the wool market to report. The manu-
facturers continue to buy sparingly.

HUDDERSFIELD.—The attendance of buyers has
been thin, and the purchases on a small scale. Several of
the manufacturers have commenced working shorter hours,
and the small quantities of wool they purchase show that
they are not desirous of adding much to their present
stock. The number of people out of employment is in-
creasing, and, altogether, there seems a worse prospect for
the winter than was apparent a few weeks ago.
LEEDS.—About an average business done at the Cloth
Halls, but principally in good styles of heavy winter goods;
in other descriptions little done. Prices are steady, stocks
moderate, and the mills continue in pretty full employ-
ment. Business has been rather dull in the warehouses,
the buyers confining themselves merely to assorting up
their stocks, and the shipping houses are, as usual at this
season, doing little.

BRADFORD.—WooI: The supply in the market is
fully equal to the demand ; prices are a little in favour of
the buyer. Noils and brokes are good sale, as the quan-
tity making is very much reduced.—Yarns : No better
state of things to report. The shippers are almost out of
the market, while the consumption by the home manufac-
turer is very greatly curtailed. Prices remain without
alteration, as spinners only work to actual order, and no
old spun stocks are left on the market.—Pieces : No ma-
terial change. The amount of idle machinery was never
so great as at present. Prices are ruinously low, and cur-
tailment is the remedy adopted.
NOTTINGHAM...--Some additional orders have been
received for hosiery goods this week, which has infused a
little life into this business, so far as regards hose, shirts,
and drawers, but there is little or no inquiry for gloves.
The lace trade is still very flat, without any appearance of
amendment. No change in the price of yarn so far as
regards late prices, but there is a deal of what is called
jobbing, i.e., lots sold under the last price.
LEICESTER.—Less business is doing, and employment
is scarce.
