On the day the marriage took mice I did not repeatedly call cut to the

      prisoner ; 'You shall not be a baroness . ' ( A iaugn . ) In July , when I wag at Boulogne . I was summoned before the palice by tha baron for walking before their house but I swear I made we of no offensive ^ insulting sign * to them .--1 walked upend down because I wished to tee them « -Wbyt Because , whenever I met them I used to look at them and follow them , —Te insult them ! No , I have a right to leokat any ene I please , particularly at a person who had stolen my rings . —Did you not do it to insult them ! I did it that they might see me . They might take it aa an insult If they pleased . —Did you not do it purposely , to insult them , the patties being husband , wife , and mother ! They might take ir as an insult if they pleased . —Did not Mr Pennington say to you that you had made a scandalous imputation npon the lady , and that if aha took hia advice ¦ he would institute legal proceedings against you ! He said something of the sort , and these may have been his exact words .

      Eliza Russell deposed that in 184 S she was encayel as honssmaid to the mother of the prisoner , and knew the prisoner , who was then Miss Todcanter . Sue afterwaras went into tbe service of a gentleman named Swan . On the day before the pti Eoner was married to the baron , she called at her mistress s house in a cab . and wished her to go with her , as she aid , to make some money . Witness could not get leave to go out on that day , and it was arranged fiat she should assist at the wedding on the following dayi She went accordingly to the house cf the e'ontess , in Thayer Street , and assisted in preparing the wedding breakfast , and in the afternoon , between three and four o ' clock , the prisoner care her two rings wrapped in silver paper , and told Lis

      her to go asd . pawn them at Mr Boyce's , In - son Grove , and to get £ 10 for them , and she was to bring a £ 5 note and five sovereigns , and the prisoner gave her money to pay for tha cab and the ticket , so as not to break into the £ 10 , as she wanted to send the note abroad . She accordingly went to the pawnbroker ' s , and pledged them as she had been directed , and broughtthe money baok to tbe prisoner , who tore sp the duplicate , and put the £ 5 cote into a letter , and gave her 103 . to pay the foreign postage upon it . The same afternoon the witness said she paid a milliner ' s bill for tha prisoner , amounting to £ 3 . 17 * ., with , as she supposed , ' the money , ob taiued by pledging the rings . Before she left the house on this day she remembered some gentle 1

      man coming to the heme , and hearing a confusion np stairs , and shortly afterwards the prisoner came to her and told her to put on her things and ' ruth ' home , aa it was late . Witness called ths attention oftbe prisoner to the disturbance that had taken place , and the prisoner said there had been a little fuss , ' or something of that kind . The witness went on to explain that after having been in another situation , she again went into the service ef the prisoner ' s mother h June , 1847 , andtheprisonerandher husband used to visit them . In Angustthe prisoaer told her that her husband bad been scalding her about a < £ 10 note , and aha at ths same time told her for Goi' sBakenottonyanytbingabonttheiingBthatshe cave her . or the two silver spoons that she had given

      her to pledge . The prisoner had given her two silver spoons to pledge , in the previous October , at Mr Eoyca's . The witness added , that she was discharged by the prisoner ' s mother five weeks ego en account of an unpleasant affair that occurred , but of which she was entirely innocent . Some persons got into the house , and stole same of the . trinkets , and the officers were sent for , and witness was suspected , but after a few days the countess said there was nothing sgainather . andshe might go , and she paid her her wages . After aha had been discharged , in consequence of a communication she had with a gentleman named Harding , she went to Mr Boyce ' s , aad afterwards informed a police-Ban of what she knew regarding the pawning of the rings .

      Cross-examined : She first left the countess ' s service in November , 1846 , aad then went to her mother ' s , at Boss , in Herefordshire . The witness was ihen questioned as to whether she was not delivered of a child , and she swore positively that she had not , but declined to state whether she had miscarried or not . She said that tha baroness asked permission for her to go to the countess ' s house on the day of the marriage , and she at once told her that she wanted her to make a little money for her . She first mads this statement to the solicitor a few days ago . Would swear that the conn tea left the home as early fis three o ' clock on the 1 st of May . She waa not aware that she was te leave town by the half-past five o ' clock train , but was sure that she left at three

      o ' clock . She could not say whether the conversation abont the ring took place in the back dining room or tiie bedroom . There was no dinner on this day , and they had nothing after the wedding breakfast . Mx and Mrs Pennington stated in the house all night , but she would swear that they did not dine , and that she did not wait upon them , It was between thebKsUiEsl and the tnaa of departure that the baroness told herb pawn the rings , and she said she * i * aa to give the name of Mary Anne Turner , 15 , Gfoucetter Place , and she pawned tbe rings in that name . She said she was sure she did not pawn the rings on the Friday , and that she never saw them till Saturday , the lat of May . the day of whieh the prisoner wf s married . She did not pay particular at . tenfaon to what was written on tha duplicate , but she gave it to the prisoner tha moment she returned , bnt aha could not say whether she was in the bedroom or

      toe frek dining room at the time . The witness was then asked whether this was not the first time she had made this statement , and she made no answer . She waa sure she got home so early as half-past ten o ' efoek at night , and her mistress discharged her , because she was not home by half-past four . Could not recollect having mentioned to any one what tbe baroness had said about there having been a little fo g s'in tbe house . The witness was then pressed by Mr Co-kbUTO to siste where the alleged conversations took place between her and tha prisoner , but tha would not state positively , merely saying it was either in the bedrooa or the back diningreom . Mr Cockburn insisted upon an answer being gmn and ha asked the witness whether she declined to name any particular place er time , for fear he should call same ene to contradict her ? She made no reply .

      The witness was then asked when the had first made seme of the statements to whieh she had deposed , and she admitted that this was the first occasion of her having done so , and that aha did not say a word respecting them when she waa examined before tha magistrate . In further cross-examination the witness said that Sir John Hare had never promised to give her any sum of money if the baroness was transported . Same further evidence was given with regard to the pawning of the rings , and the manner in which fee matter was made known to the prosecutor through the instrumentality of the witness Russell The shopman to Mr Bojee proved that two diamond rings were pawned at his master ' s shop on the 1 st of

      aay , 1847 . by a woman , but he could not speak positively to the witness Russell being the person , He sLossid that the same rings were pledged by the same person , whoever she was , on some previous occasion , asd he contradicted Russell with regard to the name in which they wen pawned on tha 1 st of May , stating that the name given waa Mary Wilson , wd not Mary Anne Turner , as she had represented The statement made by the prisoner when before the maps-rate was put in . She said : Sir John of feredme marriage , saying that ha waa richer than the baroa . He showed me the rings , and I handed them to my mother , who gave them to the baron , sad he returned them to Sir John Hare , and I have neverseen them since .

      « . ~* Q ^*** * ** interposed and complained of the mode in which the cross-examination was conuncial . Mr Justice Coltmsnsaidhe thought there was very much to complain of in the manner in which the witness gave his evidence . Cress-examination continued : I swear I hare not given the witness Eliza Basse *] any money , neither hava I promised her any , nor am I aware that any cne else has done so . The baron upon one occasion

      threatened to knock me down for making such a charge against his wife . I saw the prisoner and her ajabahd and mother several times between the . period of their arriving in England and when I preferred this charge . ¦ When the prisoner was given intoeustedy she asserted strenuously that she was innocent , andsa'dtaatthematter had been discussed before . I did not know that she was in the family way unta anaatatedthe fact while nnder examina tion befr . e the magistrate . A j roc here wished to aak Sir John whether , be-

      lore he left Bath , he said any tbisf to lay member of hia family respecting his lose ? Sit Joha ' replied that he did not , because he thought it wenld only be necessary to aak for them to get them back , The juror ; Did . yon make no complaint at any police-station when the baron threatened to turn yen out of his house , on your making the charges . Sir John : I did not make any complaint . This was tha cue fer tho ptofecation . Mr Cockburn then made a most elequent and fofeibleaddressto the jury on behalf of the accused lady . He certainly should not think himself justified in ridiculing any man who might be deemed worthy of receiving the honour of knighthood at the hands of his Sovereign , but he did think that every one might be excused fer laughing at an old gentleman like the

      prosecutor , who , forgetful of his years , took npon himself to fellow young ladiea about , dance with them at different boarding houses , write love sonnets , and piece poetry upon their plates , and other ridiculous proceedings , which might be excusable in a boy , but which were totally inconsistent with the positionicf tbe prosecutor and his advanced period of life . He then adverted to the manned in which the prosecutor had given his evidence , and said , that although he could hardly get one single straightferward answer from him , it was clear that after the marriage he had acted in' a most unmanly manner towards the prisoner and her husband and mother , and that he had most grossly insulted them upon several oecafi wns . With regard to Sir John ' s own statement

      relating to the original transaction , he submitted that it washardly credible . He talked of the value of there rings , and the care he . took of them , and yet after they were left in the possession of tha prisoner on the night when he first showed them to her , he pretended that he had entirely forgotten them , although with regard to the repair of the Baron ' s awn ring , he did not forget to ask le * the immense sum of sixpence whioh he had expended for it . With regard ' to the evidence of the witness . Russell , he submitted that it was an entire fabrioaties , and that , after * hat she had admitted , no jury would be justified in placing any reliance upon such a person . The learned counsel having intimated that a number of witnesses were in attendance , but

      that ha did not consider it necessary to call them , concluded a very able defence by expressing a confident opinion that the jury would dismis « the accused lady from the court , and restore her to that position in society to which she was entitled . A good deal of applause folio wed the conclusion of the learned counsel's speech , and it was sometime before it could be repressed . Mr Justice Goltman , in summing np , said , ' that a material question for the jury to consider in this case , in . the first instance , was , whether , supposing they believed the evidence of the witness Russell as to the pawning of the rings , they were satisfied that these rings were the same as were stolen irom the prosecutor ; and the next question was , whether

      tha prisoner took the rings with the intention to steal them . It was certainly very singular that the prosecutor should not nave said a word about the rings from the Monday to the Friday ; and he oonld just as well have taken proceedings then , if he had been'so minded , as bow , but he had not thought fit to do so ; and it was very important to recollect that the prisoner had told the same story from first to last , and had alway a represented , and had dene so that day by her counsel , that the rings were returned . The learned judge then proceeded to observe that the conduct of Sir John towards tha prisoner and

      her mother was certainly not creditable to him , or what would have been expected from a person in his station ; but thejury would consider whether this disentitled him to credit . His lordship then referred to the other circumstances in the case , observing that the" evidence given by the witness Russell was certainly most suspicious ; and it was for them to consider how far they ought to allow it to go in the light of confirmation of the prosecutor ' s story . They would look at allthecircumstances of the case , and say , by their verdict , whether they considered tha charge had been made ont to their satisfaction or not .

      The jury immediately returned a verdict of not guilty ; and the accused lady left the court accompanied by her Imsband audfrien ^^ The tnil occupied more than nine hours .

      The London Stonemasons. Shi Quzsx V. Gha...

      THE LONDON STONEMASONS . SHI qUZSX V . GHAT AUD OTHERS . This ease , it will be remembered , is an indictment against a number of stonemasons for a conspiracy to intimidate and prevent workmen from entering the service of Mr Trego , the builder , aud whioh stood over from last Monday , in the expectation that some arrangement would be effected between the parties , was called on . A number of the defendants having surrendered , Mr Bodkin said his lordship wonld remember that npon the last occasion he made an application to postpone the trial on account ot the absence of a material witness for the prosecution ; Upen that eo * as * on , his lordship had thrown ont a suggestion that ths ease might be settled in an amicable mancar , and he had communicated to the prosecutor

      what was stated by his lordship , and also that the learned counsel for the defendants had repudiated all proceedings that in any way tended to intimidation or violence , and at tbe same time expressed a knowledge on their part of the illegality of such proceedings . Under these circumstances , he should be content , on the part of the prosecution , if the defendants were to enter into their own recognisance to appear and take their trial if called upon to do so , the understanding being that if no further illegal proceedings took place no such notice would be given . He had , therefore , great satisfaction in being able to relieve the Court from an inquiry of a very unpleasant character , and he trusted that the effect of the present proceeding would be to restore that good feeling between the employer and the employed which was so essential for their mutual advantage .

      Mr Clarkson , who appeared for some of the defendants , said that no mora than justice had been done them when it was stated that they repudiated any intention of intimidating by violence any of Mr Trego ' s men ; and none of the defendants , as he was instructed , ever contemplated such a proceeding . Mr Ballantine , who likewise was instructed for the defence , expressed his satisfaction at the termination oftbe proceedings ; nod alia said , that he thought the coarse adopted by his learned friend Mr Bodkin , as counsel for the prosecution , was calculated to have a very good effect , and to strengthen the bond of union between persons in the position of the defendants and their employers . Mr Parry , who appeared for the remainder of the defendants , likewise expressed hia gratification at the result of tha proceeding .

      Tha Recorder hating observed that he hoped the effect wonld be to restore & kind feeling between the masters and the workmen , then called upon the de fendants who were called apon to enter into their recognisance to appear aa suggested , when , to the astonishment of every one in court , their own counsel not excepted , they refused to do so ; and one or two of them , in a very excited manner , insisted upen being tried . Mr Parry said be wished he hsd known this before . He was instructed by their attorney , Mr H . B . Roberts , thai they were quite content with the proposed arrangement , and ha had no idea that they wonld have objected to do what was required of them . The Recorder remarked that their attorney , who wat aot actuated by passion or ill-feeling , bad given thea tha proper advice .

      Mr Ballantine said he should not alter tbe course he had taken , whieh was adopted with the direct sanction of the defendanta' attorney . If they now chose to take a different proceeding he should retire altogether from the matter and return his brief . The course propoted by the oounrelfortke prosecution he considered veryproper , and one which the defendants ought readily to agree to , and if they refused , he weald have nothing more to do with the case ; The defendants still refused to enter into the required recognisances , althosgh it waa evidently matter of farm

      merely a , and tended to no result likely to be injurious to thsm , provided no fresh offence was csmmitted ; and some of the party insisted on being triad . Mr Bodkin said , that , acting upon tha faith of the arrangement made with the defendants' counsel , he of coarse ; had no witnesses in attendance ; and under the circumstances he should apply to the Court to order tbe defendants to enter into fresh recognisances , with sureties , of the same amount as these upon which they hsd now surrendered , to appear and take their trial at the next sessions .

      The Recorder , after some further discussion , said he should enlarge the recognisances of the prosecutor , but should make no order with regard to the defendants . He regretted exceedingly to see that they had not acceded to the offer that waa made , and that they ( the defendants ) had yielded to the solici tation of two o ? three of their body who appeared desirous to keep np an angry feeling , and refused to enter Into their personal recognisance to appear if called npon . They must net consider this as any triumph , for npon a certificate of the existence of the indictment against them , they wonld all ba liable to be taken into custody upon a bench warrant , and would have to find fresh bail , which , after what bad taken place that day they might dud some difficulty

      in obtaining . Mr Bodkin said that , on tho part of tho prosecution , he was quite content with tha oostw proposed by his lordship . The Recorder said be should etpsnt bim to be prepared to proceed with the proseouUon at tha next sesuonin anycace where a defendaet iasiited Op'Jri being tried . He added , thatit was n great pit / , Wish people placed themselves ia tbe bands of aiietef t persons acquainted with the law , that tbe / wOfiid not be advised to their own real kUsmij ftBtlfie hoped that npon the ntxt occasion thorn wit * wefe willing to accede to the court * propBteibf the efjMfc sal fer the prosecution , would not infier their tblfidi to be poisoned by these who were ie ]' 6 f tojitiW & tho opinion of their own legal SdvTtMl , IHS ( Mri and every one concerned in the ease . The defendants then left the court .

      nut her husband , upon the revolution breaking out shortly after , was d-prlved of his office , and although he had since made repeated applications to be reinstate * , or fer a pension lit compensation oi his twsnty . siz years' service , he had been unsuccessful , In consequence of the unsettled state of the government , in procuring either , and was now at Cherbourg in as destitute a condition as herself ; After enduring much privation in that country she determined on coming to this , in the hope of Joining one other COUSlM , wpO had CO 06 over ** w time previously , ana procurlag employ m tnt as a goieraeis or dressmaker , for both whieh capacities she WM'jpetfertlycbnipeteht , having received an excellent French education ; but on reaching London she found that-her cousin , Emma Jones , had fallen into , the

The mistress was convicted and is now undergoing a sentence of twelve months'Imprisonment ; , but . it , being evident the young woman was entirely lnneoent , she was at onee discharged by th * court aud handed over to the care of the applicant . All their efforts to obtain employ .

H « regretted he could only present the lady with 10 s . for her immediate exigencies , but trusted her wants would be more , liberally responded to by others . —The applicant expreised her thanks for . the magistrates kindness , and left the court .

      Mubdibob * Obiiaoi , — Amongst the numerous charges breught before Mr Broughton , was one preferred against a labourer , samed John Leary , for an assault of a moit savtge and murderous nature upoa Mary Leary , his wife . The p » r ; les reside at No . 6 , Walnur Place , New Road . — Police constable Young , HO D , deposed that on the prsvioas night , abont eleven o ' clock , he heard loud cries of murder and police , which issued from the house above alluded to , and , on entering a back roam , he saw the poor woman standing therein with nothing on but her night gown ; it was completely saturated with blood , and upon the floer be found a candlestick , with which she said the prisoner , who was alto in the apartment , had assaulted her , by striking her . upon the head . She appeared to have been aerltusly Injured , and blood continued to stream from one or morewbnnds .

      ( Witness here produced the candlestick , the lower part of whioh was bent , and npon it were many stains of blood . ) There was no light In the room when witness went in , the candle having been knocked out of she candles t ick b y the prisoner . —In . reply to Ui Brbughton , witness said that tbe wife was unable to attend to give evidence , not enly on account of the wounds In her head , but froHi the circumstance of the prisoner having , as the had alleged , ponied boiling water over her legs eu & nn . day last . —Tbe prisoner , in answer to the charge , accused bis wife ef being an habitual drunkard . ' and

      asserted that she had spent 6 s upon drink instead of laying ths money out as she ought to have done" He denied having given her a blow with the candlestick ; but admitted that he struck her with his fist . —The ' magistrate gave the prisoner to understand that , however bad she conduct of his wife might be , he could' ne t be justified la treating her la so brutal st way as had been stated , and remanded him till Tuesdayjneit , by which day he hoped that the wife would beliumV ciently well to come forward . — The prisoner was ' then looked up . . . « . -.. ¦

      A Pkohibiiid Masbugb . — ZiohuiahTinsoB , ay 9 ung man of respectable appearance , was placed at the bar , before Mr Hammlll , charged on suspicion of having Stolen thirty-nine sovereigns and a quantity otMier , the property of a retired tradetmsn living in Gloucester Street , Hoxton . The prosecutor stated that he had occupied apartments about two months since at a house in Lsbnraham Terrace Kingiland Road , in which the prisoner and his mother alto resided . On the 5 th of October last he had occasion to leave home for some hours , having previously deposited thirty-niue sovereigns and same silver money In a cash box , which he looked Op at thabetiamofhls trunk in his sleeping apartment , ' On his return at night he observed that the trunk remained apparently undisturbed , but , having examined it more

      closely two days af . erwards , he discovered that altboogh it was still securely locked , as he had left it , the hinges at the baok of the lid had been wrenched off , and that ths cash-box had also been forced open , and the whole of the money abstracted . He removed shortly afterwards to another residence , but previously gave informs . , tlon of the robbery to the police ,, who subsequently ob . tabled such information as induced bim to give the prisoner Into custody . —Pollce-constable Zinzan , of the N division , stated , that having ascertained that the prisoner , whe had previousl y been in very straitened circumstances , had suddenly come Into possession of a ' considerable sum of money , a portion of which he had expended in the purchase of dresses , and other presents , for a young person to whom he was about to be mart

      risd ; be proceeded to his mothers house , where he discovered a large quantity of male and female apparel , whioh had evidently b « en recently purchased . On ap . prising blm cf the suspicions tbat attached to him , the prisoner became greatly agitated , but speedily recovered himself , and expressed his readiness to meet the charge . He had since beea informed that tbe contemplated mar . riageof ths prisoner had been abandoned , and that ha had broken off his acquaintance with his intended bride , who was now ia attendance to glva evidence . Jane Springhalt , a neatly dressed and comely young woman , who waa evidently labouring under feelings of strong but sappHssedeosotioa , stated that the prisoner had bsen for a eonslderahle tune a suitor for her hand , and it was arranged between them that their marriage should

      take place on Sunday last . The bsnns were accordingl y put np in due course in the parish church , but on their final publication , to her great surprise and chagrin , the proceedings were interrupted by the unexpected appear , aace of the prisoner ' s mother , whe entered a formal protest against the further prosecution of the ceremony , although her son had previousl y presented her with throe sovereigns to purchase the wedding dress , and every preparation ha 4 beea made for the happy occasion , — The constable Zlacaa stated , that in the course , of hia inquiries It had ctme to his knowledge that the prisoner had taken his passcge in the Great London Packet ,

      whioh was about to sail for America in a few days , and tbat he had placed a quantity of property onboard , which he expected would have a tendency to throw some farther light npon the transaction , and strengthen the evldenea against him—In answer to she charge the prisoner positively denied aU knowledge of . the robbery , and dsclared that tbe whole of tbe property produced was purchased with his « wn money . —Mr Hammlll eoneldertdthat the tlrcumsUnces of susplplo n against the prisoner were amply sufficient to ' jusUfy his detention upon the sharge , and he should : order him to be remended , to afford the police further ' ¦ "time to prosecute their inquiries , '¦¦ - ;

Those gen . tlemoa informed tbe magistrate tbat it had always been their wish to comply with the wishes et the magistrates of this court , but so great was . the number of paupers at present chargeable , that not only was the workhouse full

      bnt there was at the present-moment upwards of sixty beyond the proper number there , and numbers of ethers were applying ¦ for admission . There was else a great difficulty of procuring employment for those who had app lied for it , but the board had .. decided on getting many of those applicants to sweep and repair tbe parochial roads , and this they hoped would remedy the . evil , and cause less cemplalnte . —Mr Elliott remarked , that in consequence of the Inattention of the board of guardians to the / recommendation of the magistrates , the poor . were driven to window breaking , and they were then committed to prison . From this state of things ahothtr evil arose , and one which was loudly complained

      of by tbe county magistrates—namely ! that those paupers were obliged to be maintained out of the county rate ; but there was still a greater evil preduoed by the p » sent system , and that was that the oeunty gaols were so full of those pauper offenders , that there was no room for the prisoners for whom they were Intended ; and tbe consequence would be that the county magistrates wonld bs compelled , unless there was some speedy change in the system , to call on the Secretory of State to cause a general gaol delivery of the pauper prisoners . —Tbe tbree gentlemen expressed a hope that , under a new . order ot things , the magistrates would be less troubled , and here the matter ended .

The complainant's brother , an elderly boy , however , was examined , and from his evidence , it seemed that be was present on the occasion , and that , on the SOCh ultimo , his brother having quarrelled with another b » y in tbe street after school hours , when he went to tke school room the next day , the defendant took up a p iece of board , and struck him with it on the head and also in

      the face , the latter blow giving the boy a black' eye . — The defendant complained of the general mlteonduot ef the boy , that he was the most Unruly ho had in the school , tbat he was in the habit of flinging stones , and that it was enly a few days ago that he struck an old gentleman , seventy years of age , on the head with a stone , and cnt it severely ; that , in fact , complaints were being continually made of bis improper conduct , and that when he ( defendant ) found that he had been fighting with another boy , he certainly did intend to punish him , and that the blow with the board was accidental , as he never intended to have injared bis face , and that he now regretted it should have occurred , —The Rev . Mr If aemnUtn , the president of the sahool , spoke In the mtst favourable terms of the defendant ' s conduct since

As the defendant had expressed his regret , he should aot differently In deciding the case to that whioh he originally Intended , The complainant's mother here stepped forward and said the defendant inflicted a severe kick on

      her son on the Tuesday preceding tbat on which he struck him with the pleoe of board on the eye . —The defendant again reverted to tbe misconduct of the boy . and declared that he sustained no such hurt as that represented . — Mr GotttnghasB said that the latter transaction materially altered the case , and that instead oi % schoolmaster using his foot or a piece of hoard in striking a pupil , hit duty would have been to , have corrected him in a proper manner either with a ferula or cane , in the presence of the other scholars . The magistrate then inflicted a fine of 5 s , on the defehdent , and 2 s , costs , whioh was Immediately paid by the president of tbe school .

His client had bttn frequently abused , and threatened by tht defendant for his disinterested offers of servloa to foreign gentlemen , who might not be able to speak the Eaglith language , and who were ia search of an hotel , at which they could get the best accommodation . Tbe defending who had a keen eye for a customer , was generally on the

      look out for businets , and as he was about to appropriate a visiter tit the HettI de Versailles , the complainant , who was only anxious that a foreigner should not be imposed upon , went up to the cab to acquaint the foreigner with his mistake , when he was set upoa and assaulted ia the way he would describe . —The complainant then said he saw a cab turn into Leiaester Square .

While he was speaking tbe defendant rushed . OUt Of the house , struck him violently , called him tome unpalatable names and told him to go to his own hotel . —For the defence tbe professions ! adviser of the defendant gave the court to understand that this case arose out of tbe system of touting adopted by the foreign hotel keepers in Leicester Square . His client did not adopt suoh a

      course to procure business . He did not need it , for he bad an European reputation , and business from all parts of the globe came , consequently , uisonght . Tbe complainant had attempted to seduce away a eultomer , and the defendant had done nothing mere than warn him away . —The complainant ' s solicitor said this statement wot not exactly the fact . The truth was , that one corner of Leicester Square was besieged by touters and commissionaires of the different hotels ; the defendant had a very active agent among them , and the result was , tbat nobody with a foreign face , whether in cab or on foot , oonld past tbrongh the square without being sur . rounded by rival touters , whose energetic mode of doing busmen frequently ended in brawls . —Mr Hardwlck said the assault was not a rttj serious eae , and tbe complai . nant appeared to hare drawn lt on himself by his provoking conduct in going to ths door of defendant ' s house where a cab had Jast drawn up . He should discharge tbe case onthe defendant paying costs .

      State Of Trade. Mahchester, Dec, 5,-Our ...

      STATE OF TRADE . Mahchester , Dec , 5 ,-Our market to . day has been inactive , but firm . Those only who were compelled to sell , and they are now but very few , would submit to lower rates . A steady business still continues to be dene at the full rates of last week . Cloths suitable for India are in good request , and rather scarce ; 7-8 aud 9-8 printing cloths of middle and lower qualities move freely . Heavy goods are less active . From theincreased firmness on the part of manufacturers , the general impression is that the amount of actual business to-day ' will be found to be less , in comparison with the extent of inquiry , than was anticipated . The yarn market is also very firm . The German buyers are now doing less business .

      Bbasfobd . —Wools : There has been more wool changing hands during tbe past week , and the spinners generally have not larga . stocks . Tha supply in this market is now barely an average for this time of the year . Noils and shorts are lut altered either in demand or pricee . Yarns : Tbe contracts for bobbins for the month about commencing have not been on such advantageous terms for the manufacturers as for tbe month now closing . For all kinds , both low , middle , and fine numbers , there is no disposition to take orders , except at higher prices ; and the demand both for shipping and home consumption is fully batter ( for numbers ; than it has been since 16 < 4 ; still the extreme low prices to which yarns have been forced are b y no means commensurate with tho cost of wool , and when the finer kinds are exclusively combed by hand , low as wages are , the spinners cannot realise prime coit . This is a very distressing state of things ; and without a dosided improvement jn the price of yarns we cannot see any chance of either employer or employed having any satisfactory remuneration .

      Pontipool . —We regret to hear that a reduction is about to be made inthe wages of the teeming operatives employed in the works in this vicinity . ' , Keiisbino The strike of the hat plush weavers in the employ of Mr Walters , at Kettering , terminated en Thursday week , in favour ef the masters , the central committee of the National Trades Union refusing to support the workmen . —A' orihampton Herald . Glasgow . —There has been considerable demand throughout the week , both for goods and yarn , although with very little actual advance in price .
