Forbes , belonged to her Majesty's ship Ganges , and he was brought into the hospital yesterday rnorning dead , by a party ef marines . I made a post mortem examination of the tody , andfouidthe intestines perfectly empty , and fromits appearasee I am satisfied thatdeath was from English cholera . If a body dies of Asiatic cholera , the

      Hood in the heart if a liquid : in tbis case , it was coagulated , as usual , in general cases . In Asiatic cholera there is greatdiscolo . - . ration during life , but here there was none .

      The Edinburgh Chartist Trials Have Been ...

      The Edinburgh Chartist Trials have been appointed to take place before tbe High Court of Justiciary next month . One of the accused , John Grant , who generally acted as president at the meetings , bu been missing for some days past , and hisbail having got some clue to his retreat , they have set en" in pursuit of the fugitive . —Nonconformist . On Thursday week a horrible accident happened at Huddersfield . in the menageri of Messrs Hillyer and Barton , which was erected ou the Bowling Green . A little boy of about seven years old , the son of Mr

      Warhurtou , grocer ( of tbe same place ) , was in the menagerie , and -very foolishly offered a quantity of nuts to a large and savage baboon , which immediately seized hold of ins arm , and putting his fingers in bis mouth bit three of them completely off . The poor child struggled and shrieked , and as the keeper was running to the place with a stick the creature let the poor child go , but not before he had torn one of his eyes completely out , and had lacerated his cheek in a fri ghtful manner . The poor little fellow was immediately carried home , and when medical assistance arrived it was found

      necessary to amputate the fingers higher up , which painful operation the poor child bore with great fortitude . He is now out of danger , and itis hoped that with great care he will recover . Surely something ought to be done to prevent occurrences of ibis kind ; either the cages of such mischievous creatures should be placed out of reach , or else there should be cross bars in front of them . Mr Barton , one of the proprietors , immediately destroyed the animal . COSFISEMENT CS THE MlLLBAXK PaiSOiJ . Cause of Death . —An inquest was held by Mr . Bedford , at the Millbank prison , as to the death of W . E . Woolraart , a prisoner in that gaol . Mr Foster ,

      the clerk to the governor , stated that the deceased wa ; admitted on the 12 th of February , having been convicted at Exeter of stealing £ 6 ., " and sentenced to ten years' transportation . His conduct had been good in tbat prison , bnt a special report was sent from Exeter that he and others had intended a breaking out of gaol there , by murdering the turnkeys , bnt their intention was frustrated . —Dr Baly , the physician to the prison , stated that he first saw the deceased in March , when he was suffering severely from fever , but he got well . He bad

      afterwards a very severe attack of English cholera , but tbat subsided . ' In September , very violent vomitingcameon , denoting disease of the peritoneum , and he gradually sank , dying on Wednesday ni ght . A post mortem examination had since been made , an i the draft was clearly attributed to tubercular inflammation of the peritoneum . No doubt the confinement and depression of mind consequent on his imprisonment vrere the cause of disease and death . Probably the English cholera accelerated the disease . It shook him very much—The jury returned a verdict of Natural Death .

      Attempted Mbbder asd Suicide . —At Lincoln , on Monday , at the usual sitting of the magistrates , Charles Hastings was charged with attempting to murder L ydia Giesham by cutting her throat , and then endeavouring to destroy himself . The prosecutrix , it appeared , led an abandoned hfe . She had been on intimate terms with the prisoner ; and , on the 5 t & of this month , the prosecutrix was . seen walking with another man . This enraged Hastings who struck her three

      or four times , dragged her along the floor into the parlour , and fastened the door . Screams of murder were then heard , and , - on the door being forced open , the unhappy woman , Lydia Gresham , was Been Stretched npon " the sofa with her hands over her throat , and Hastings was kneeling upon her . It was then . found that her throat was cut , and before the prisoner could be arrested he also inflicted a severe gash in his own throat . It is exceedingly doubtful whether tbe woman wiD now

      Guildhall.—An Almbhakic Pcw .—On Monday ...

      GUILDHALL . —An Almbhakic Pcw . —On Monday last an aged wemao , named Harriet Llnd , was charged with stealing a cost value 20 i ., and the case having been proved—Sir P « ter Laurie : Well , prisoner , what have jou to say ' -Prisoner : I ctrtalnly did commit this act of impropriety rasher than want , as I had got no work . —Sir Peter Laurie : indeed ! what accomplished terms wears gettin g for thieving , —PiUour t . Da let ma Off ; try me oneo mare , —Sir Peter Ljurle : I am tty ' lDg VOU sow , end instead of committing you for trial , I shall send you for three months to Bridewell . —The prisoner did not say aay more |( how could she after such an annihilating jokej , and was removed .

      BairisH FaiMMiTY . —Yesterday Frederick White and Thomas Cartwright , two soldiers of the 2 d battalion of Grenadier ( Gusrds , Were charged before Alderman Gibbs—the former with attempting to steal some money belonging to one ofthe National Guards visiting'this me . tropolis , aad the latter with assaulting and trying to rescue his companion from tbe custody of the police . It appeared from the evidence of Ballon , a detective officer , tbat he saw the prisoners in company with two soldiers of the National Guard , walk ' np together towards the Green Bragen public-house , in Fleet Street , which they entered and had tome ruin and thrnb to the amount of

      Is . 81 . Ooeof the National Guards put down a half sovereign , which the prisoner White took up andpaidfor the drink , but on receiving the change did not attempt to return it to the owner . The prisoners and the two National Guards came ont together , when the change was asked for ( a « be , Dalton , imagined from their gestures , as they could not apeak English ) , bat White refused , and a great disturbance was created , whereupon he went up aad said he if as an officer . He distlnc'ly saw tbe change iu White ' s hands , and alio observed him put half-a crown into his coat pocket , and then give the rest te the right owner . The moreyhe found in his pocket , and it made up the balance of the half-sovereign tendered by the National Guard . On his telling White that he must take him into custody , an

      attempt at rescue was made , during which time he was assaulted bath by White and Cartwrlght , He also fonnd in another pocket Ss . Id ., which belonged to him ( White )—M . Louis Felix Adolphe Bauttuillt , through an Interpreter , depesed that he' had just arrived in London by train , and happened to meet the prisoners at the corner of Fleet Street , when they took hold of his arm , as well as tbat of his friend , aad thsy entered a public-house , when they propeiedto conduct them home . He asked them to drink , npon which tbey had seme ram and shrub , to pay for which he put down 10 f . in gold , when White took it up , and after receiving the change refused to give it up . —Police Constable 367 said he observed the parties the previous evening , and observing tho soldiers to be lu liquor he spoke to Dalton , whom be met , and said he thought something wrong might occur . Accordingly they were watched , and he saw White pat something in bis pocket . White resisted bis taking him into custody , and they both fell , be having his kaeemuch

      ! cat , Alderman Gibbs asked the prisoners what they had to say in their defence !—White replied that all the statement of their meeting the National Guards , aad being treated , and the half-sovereign being put down , was perfectly true ; bat he denied any intention of theft , for he gave the money back to U . Bantenille—the officer shook him and the change dropped . —Cartwrlght said that all his comrade had stated was perfectly true . — Alderman Glbba : After hearing the evidence it appears to me that your conduct has been bad la the extreme . The prosecutor and his friends were generous , and kindly treated you , and in return , to say the least of it , yen impound their money , and when thsy demand it you then try to cheat them out of 2 s . 6 d . With respect to Cartwrlght , he has only committed an assault in endeavouring to rescue his comrade , and therefore , without considering what their commanding officers would do hereafter he should sentence White to one month ' s imprisonment , and Cartwrlght to seven days . fWe take tha following from the Times ; —J

      We are authorised to state that Private Frederick White , of ths Srena Jier Guards , who was convicted by tbe civil pawer on the 2 S . -d inst . of fraudulently appropriating 2 s . 6 d „ the property , ef one of the French National Guard , will be dismissed from her Majesty ' s service for hk disgraceful conduct , on his release from the imprisonment awarded him for bis offence . MANSION-HOUSE . — PotTQUK . — Henry Bramell , alias Henry Edward Bramell , alias Henry Beaumont , a surgeon , was charged with having married several women , all of whom are alive . —A gentleman , who stated himself to be the friend of the family of one ofthe young ladies whom the prisoner had prevailed upon to marry him , produced three certificates of marriage . ** Tbe first stated that the prisoner had married Elizabeth Timley on

      the 25 th of March , 18 * 3 ; the second that he had mar . ried Emily Georsiana Role , in Calcutta , in 1817 , in the name of Henry Edward Bramell ; and in the third that he had married Hannah Amelia Bland , in Liverpool , on tbe 80 th of September in the present year . —The Lord Major : Do yoa know the prisoner t—Witness : No , bnt he has been identified to my satisfaction . The esse , as regards tbe young lady with-whole family I have been for several years acquainted , is one of peculiar atrocity . She was no more than fifteen years of age . and was going oat with her brothers and slaters to India , in a ship In which the prisoner was acting as surgeon . She is a young lady of high accomplishments , and upon the passage the prisoner contrived to gain ber affections , and to obtain her mother ' s sanction to their union upon the

      vessel ' s arrival at Calcutta . Herepresented to the family that his father had lately died leaving him £ 5 , 000 , and be prodaoed letters , which were toe late fonnd to he for geries . connrmitoryofthe extent of the inheritance . By his address , by the production of falsa documents so favourable to bis views , and by the offer to settle £ 3 , 000 oat of the £ 5 . 000 npon the young lady , he made such an impression that very little hesitation took place , and upon his return to this country with his wife , he abandoned her at an hotel in Liverpool , She is no w with her friends in Devonshire . —The Lord Mayor : Did he make the mock settlement upon her ?— Witness : He actually settled the money , with all the necessary forms , upon the poor girl . I had been watching for his arrival , and he came to the knowledge of that fact and got away .

      However , through Mr Dakin the ends of justice are likely to bs answered , In tbe course of my inquiries I learned that be had married Miss Timly in 1843 . He had , it appears , gone down into the country aad set up builness ' as a professional manio tbe neighbourhood in which the lady resided . She had a small annuity , which was forfeited when she married , and she not only was a loser in that way , but he got hold of her clothes , furniture , and trinkets , and sold them . Whenhe went to India he left her in London with an authority to receive his halfpay , and then be went deliberately to work upon his fellow-passenger ' s affections . Subsequently I found that he had married Miss Bland , audi have every reason to believe , from the statement of a relative of his , that he has left a wife and two children at Liskeard , in

      Cornwall . Some delay , however , must take place before we can get the parties together . The base conduct of the pr isoner has , I need hardly say , occasioned the deepest distress . —Elizabeth Timley stated that she was married to the prisoner on the 25 th of March , 1848 ; She had no reason to think that she was not his first wife . Her friends were is Devonshire , bat they would come to town npon the occasion . —Hannah Amelia Bland , in extreme agitation , stated that she was married to the prisoner in tbe parish church of St Paul , Liverpool , on the 30 : h of September last . He represented to her at tha time that he was a single gentleman , and . she lived with him np to the period of his apprehension en the morning of Saturday last . —Mr Dakin said that the prisoner bad represented to him tbat he bad been disappointed in his expectation of an advance of money from

      the captain of the vessel , and that he was in want of £ 3 , which the witness believing to ba a true statement , handed to him . It waa , however , ascertained that though tbe prisoner had been in treaty with the captain to go out as surgeon in the ship , the negotiation was at as end before Mr BaMn was applied to for the money . — Tbe prisoner here said that his agreement to go out in the vessel was not nullified antil alter he had got the money from Mr Dakin , so that at ail events that transaction wag nothing more than a debt . ( Alaugh . ) ' I intended to pay that money ( said he ) , and I do intend to pay it . Whatever may have been my conduct in other respeetsl had no idea of committing fraud in that matter . '—It was stated that the prisoner was believed to have several other wives . —Remanded for some days .

      CLERKENwELL . —A Hbastlxss Scounsbel . — Edward Martin , a young man of gentlemanly appearance and addrjss , who was represented on the police sheet as a solicitor , residing in White Lion Court , Wbitecross Street , St Luke ' s , was placed at the bar before Mr Tyrwhitt , charged by Mrs Elizabeth Gregory , the wife of Daniel Gregory , labourer , residing near the Water Mills , Barking , Essex , with obtalnining money to the amount of £ 67 , by fraudulent means under the following heartless circumstances : —It appeared , from the evidence of the prosecutrix , that her busbar , d waa employed as a labourer in the Water Mills , near Barking , Essex , and , by their united industry and exertions , tbey managed to save a little money . She wa * a distant relation ef Lady Elizabeth Jane Hubert , deceased , and

      she had documents in her possession whioh convinced her that she was entitled to tha Golden Fleece and a large estate situate at Brentwood , Essex ; bat she bad net means to enable her to employ a lawyer to properly investigate the matter for her . In the month of April last she had occasion to come to London to see her sister , who resided in Whiteohapel . They went Into a public-house to have some refreshment , where the prisoner and some ether men were sitting together ; and her sisterjand herself were talking about the estate at Brentwood , which was overhead by the prisoner , whe introduced himself as a solicitor , and proffered his service to inquire into tbe subject , and obtain , if possible , possession of the estate for her , conditionally that she would

      pay the expenses . She gladly embraced the offer , and communicated tbe circumstances to her husband when she returned home , and they corresponded with tte prisoner , who immediately commenced his professional ' exertions ; and , from time to time , he had obtained sums ef money , under pretence that he -was pursuing the inquiry in the Lord High Chancellor's offoe ,. & o ,, until they parted with £ 67 . The prisoner , subsequent to tbeir meeting at the pablicfaouse in Whltecbspsl , cwne to Barking and visited hex cottage , when he pretended to be quite fascinated with her daughter , who had been injured by bim , and he also made great promises to procure for her son a situation in the Lord Caancel . lot ' s office , got np a written agreement which was signed

      Guildhall.—An Almbhakic Pcw .—On Monday ...

      by witnesses , purporting that he should perform various duties , & c , bat it was needless to say tbat the situation wai never obtained . The prisoner had written her letters , appointing to meet her at a coffee-shop in Hand Court , Hotborn , which he represented to be his offices , where she had parted with money te him . Oil the 11 th August late she received a letter from the prisoner to meet him « t a public house in Cflancary Lane , She went there , when the prisoner produced a letter of a very official ap . paarance , purporting to have been signed and sealed by the authority of the Lord High Chancellor of England , and that Mr Hyde , the Lord Chancellor ' s officer , was to accompany her to Brentwood in a carriage aad four to take possession of the estate under the autherlty of the letter , and it was all right , He made farther

      application to her for money , and about a fortnight age she let Mm have 10 s . which she raised with difficulty . She at length began to suspect , with her husband , that all was not right , and consulted with a respectable attorney , who , on questioning the prosecutrix and making Inquiries , had no doubt that she had been swindled , and ia consequence ef bis advice she applied to tbe police at tbe station-house in Bagnigge Wells Road , where Moss , 185 G , an active officer , was deputed / to trace and appre . head the prisoner , and at length he did trace him tobe residing at Ne . 16 , White Lion Court , cohabiting with a woman , but he could never find bim at home until stratsgem was adopted . He had applied for more money by letter on Wednesday week , when Moss suggested that the prosecutrix should write a letter , promising to meet

      him to give him fifteen shillings , feeling assured that he would be there to receive the money . He accordingly made bis appearance when ho was taken to the station , hoasa . —Numerous letters were produced , which had been written by the prisoner to tbe prosecutrix informing her how he was proceeding in the case and requesting money to be forwarded to him by Post Office . order , and some of them in a peremptory and threatening tone if she did not answer bis demands ; She had parted with £ 14 7 s 3 d , and other sums of lesser degree to the prisoner , under the representation tbat be would assist her in gaining possession of the estate at Brentwood . — Moss , 195 G , deposed that he apprehended tbe prisoner , when he asked bim if the signature to the letter , purporting to be the Lord Chancellor's , was genuine . The prisoner asked if he was obliged to answer tbat question . Witness said , ' Certainly not . '—Mr Tyrwhitt cautioned the prisoner that he was not bound to ssy anything to the charge at present . He should send the case for trial

      eventually , but he would remand bim tor the production ef farther necessary evidence , —Prisoner : I admit receding certain sums of money from Mrs Gregory for certain purposes , and I made every inquiry io reference to the objects which Mra Gregory spoke to me about as to the property she is entitled to , and I have examined many witnesses relative to that property . If she is dissatisfied I will return all the papers I have got , and , after remunerating me for my trouble , I have no Objection to pay the difforecce , if it is sot out of the way . He bad paid off a mortgage . She had expressed a wish to him to make a settlement and abandon all proceedings . —Moss said that there was a gang of such fellows practising their imposition , and others had received money from the prosecutrix , —The prisoner applied for ball to betaken . —Mr Tyrwhitt said be would accept bail , but it must be considerable . There was a question whether his ease did not approach forgery . —Tbe prisoaer was then remanded , and inquiries will be made at tbe Lord Chancellor ' s office , & o .

      Teg Wit . the Wqud Wios . —Jaraet Prlddle , a halfstarved little boy , eleven years of age , was placed at the bar , before Mr Ctambe , charged with having knocked at the door of Mr James Priddle , master tailor , of Wilson Street , Gray ' s Inn Lane , under the following circumstances : —Mr Priddle , Jan ., said that the prisoner was the illegitimate son of his father , who was lying very ill in his bed , and the boy was iu the habit of calling at the house of witness ' s father and causing a noise and disturbance , whereby bis father was much annoyed ; and on the previous night , at eight o ' clock , the prisoner repeated his visit , and knocked at the door , when , on being questioned , he said he called to see bis father , and be was given iato custody , —Mr Combe quentlOHed the boy , who said that he was sent by his mother to

      knock at the door to ask his father ( Mr Priddle ) for victuals . He only went to see his father , and get something to eat . —Mr Combe said , tbe poor boy looked half-starved , aad inquired whether the boy ' s mother was present , or anybody who knew anything about bim!—A person present said , he was the illegitimate child of Mr Priddle , who had beea adjudicated to allow tbe mother a sum of money fer bis maintenance , but the mother had married a man named Smith , a journeyman shoemaker and tbey were ia great distress , and they sent the poor boy to knock at the door for the purpose of obtaining money from Mr Priddle , who oc cisionally assisted them , —Mr Combe referred to tbe Poor Law Act , and said that one of Us clauses rendered it imperative tbat if a man married a woman having

      legitimate or illegitimate children , he was legally bur . dened with the whole ef them , and bound to support tbem . He inquired of Mr Priddle , J an ., if his father was able to attend the court ?—Mr Priddle , jon ., answered in the negative . —Mr Csmbe : Then the boy ' s mother and her husband must be sent for . —They subsequently attended , the mother having an Infant at her breast , and they appeared to be in great distress , and the mother , who evidently wanted nourishment , cried bitterly whilst she was lu court . —Mr Combo explained the law to them in reference to the burden of tha support of the boy falling on the husband , and questioned them as to their means of living 1—Smith said he was willing to do his best for the bay , bathe wes ont of work . —Tbe mother did net deny having sent the boy to Mr Priddle ' s for victuals , but not to

      make any disturbance . They were distressed , and the bay and themselves had just recovered from a fever—Mr Combe : You must take the boy home aad support him —Smith . —I will do the best I can . I can do no more . I have got no bed or covering for him until I get work . —Mr Combe said , it would be impossible tit him to suffer the poor boy to return to them under the circamstances . He thought Mr Priddle and theauelves ought to enter into some arrangements for tbe comfort of the boy . He then directed Mr Bayltsi , the usher of the court , to take the unfortunate boy to St Andrew ' s workhouse , and to explain the circumstances to the overseers , and request them to pay attention to him , and to take care of bim for the present , whioh was accordingly done . —The poor little fellow left the court looking thanks and gratitude .

      SOUTH WARE . —The 'Faib Sex . ' —Eliza Dauton was brought before Mr Cottingham charged with stealing nine sovereigns from the person of Mr W . Swaner , Walworth . —The cemplainant stated , that , being in the neighbourhood of Whttechapel on the preceding afternoon , he went into ace free shop , where he met the prisoner and treated her to some coffee . In the course of conversation she told him that she lived in tbe Borough , and , as he was going in that direction , he invited her to take a seat in a cab with him , as it was raining bard at the time . They accordingly proceeded over London Bridge , and as they were going along near St George ' s Church he missed his purse , containing nine- sovereigns , whioh was taken out of his trousers pocket , and as he had seen it a few moments preparatory to his entering the vehicle with the prisoner ,

      he accased her of the robbery . She , however , having strenuously denied any knowledge of the circurr stance , he bad the cab stopped , called a policeman , and gave her into custody , and they all proceeded to the station house in tbe vehicle . Oa their arrival there , the cab was ordered to be examined , when the purse was found at the bottom of it with only two sovereigns in it , and on carefolly looking through tho straw in the same place one more sovereign , was discovered , leaving six sovereigns still unaccounted for . There was nothing found on the prisoner , and the complainant added that she must have taken the purse and its contents and thrown the m down in the straw in the cab when she found that he was determined oa giving her into custody ; that he was coavlnbed she stillhad the ilxaovereigns notwithstanding the

      strict search she had undergone . The strong supposition ofthe prisoner being in possession of the six sovereigns was verified fr . m the fact of the sudden and serious manner in which she was attacked with illness soon after she was locked up in the cell . Her groans being heard , the female searchers hastened to her assistance , and feand her lying on the floor apparentl y dead and frothing from the mouth , and it was a considerable time before she recovered ; but even when placed at the bar the following morning her appearance indicated that she was extremely ill , and the cause was believed te arise from her having swallowed the six sovereigns . She , however denied such to be the case , and , in fact , declared that she * knew nothing at aU abont the purse or money whicb she waa charged with stealing , —Mr Cottingham said there

      was very little doubt in hia mind bat tbe prisoner had taken the money as described , and that , in order to secure a portion of it for herself , without the fear of detection , she had recourse to the dangerous experiment of swallowing six of the sovereigns ; but it wasnot by any means a solitary Instance of persons eharged with crimes of a similar description running the risk of losing their lives by such means ; and that , with the view of investigating the present case still farther , he should remand the prisoner for a few days , and direct that she should be closely watched while in gaol . —Kemanded ' accordiagly . Susan Allen , a tall well-dressed woman , was next placed at the bar eharged with stealing three half-crown pieces from James Phillips , an elderly man . It appeared in this case that tbe complainant went into the Mayor of Mansfield in Look

      pnblichouse , ' * FteM 9 , and having treated the prisoner to some liquor , he had occasion to take his purse out , and having counted out some silver on the counter she snatched off three half-crowns . He supposing she did It by way of a joke desired her to retarn the money , butsheiaslsted tbat she did not take it and although threatened with being given iato custody she stai dented tbe fact , a . ud a policeman was called When the latter entered the house the prisoner was observed to convey something to her mouth , which upon observing the policeman went up aad seised her by the throat , and was jnstin time to prevent her from swallowing the three halfVorowus , whioh she made an effort to do , but they dropped out of her mouth on the floor . The prisoner was committed . "

For several days afterwards , her father , almost

      Guildhall.—An Almbhakic Pcw .—On Monday ...

      brokenhearted , was engaged in searching for her , when he at length discovered her in a miserable lodging in Wentworth Street , Whttechapel , and on bis entrance iato their room , found her in bed with the other two prisoners . From what he afterwards learned , it ap . pi-ared that his daughter bad been inveigled from home by her two Iniquitous companions , who shared in the plunder she had brought away with her from heme , and had subsequently induced her to take up her abode with them in the wretched place where they wera all fonnd together . The various articles of dtets t & Ken away by tho parties were pradaoed , " and when the girl Winfield was asked by the magistrate what she had to say for her conduct in leaving a good home and robbing her parents instead of exhibitiog any contrition she burst into laughter , and said she had determined on

      quitting her father ' s roof , and that she should not go back , as they never let ber go to the theatres or concerts , but kept her at home like a prisoner . —The mother here implored tbat the girl might be liberated , and tbat after being looked up in the cell she would reform , and no t act in such a manner again , —Mr Cottingham said tbat , during his experience , he never beheld a more hardened young effeadt-r than the girl Winfield tbat he would take special care the should know tbe difference between her parents'home and the Inside ef a gaol , to which he intended to consign her , as it was absurd to suppose anything but tho strong arm of the law woald produce a reformation , and separate her from her bad comp anions . The magistrate then committed the prisoners , and tbe girl Winfield laughed on leaving the bar , although she beheld ber mother taken out of court in a fainting state .

      Wholesale Puwdeb . —Mrs Isabella Hawkins , the wife of a commercial clerk raiding at DalstOO , was placed at the bar before Mr Hammtll , charged with having feloniously received a quantity of property , con . sitting of ribbons , crape , and other articles , the produce of a series ef robberies committed by her niece at the house of Mr Edward Freeston , a straw bonnet-manufacturer in High Street , Shoreditoh . —The prosecutor stated that the prisoner ' s niece , a young woman named Maria Boreman , bad been in bis service about fifteen months , and had always been considered a trustworthy person , until it was recently discovered tbat she had carried en an artful and systematic coarse of plunder for a considerable period , and the was accordingly given into custody , and subsequently remanded upon the

      charge . Having since received information that she had removed several boxes to tbe residence of her aunt , he repaired thither on the preceding day with two offl . cers and on questioning the prisoner upon the subject she pointed ont a box , which was at once opened , and fonnd to contain a quantity ef ribbons , collars , aad other articles , which be recognised as his property . The prisoner positively denied that the girl had left any other property in her possession , but oa assuring her th » t he bad obtained positive information to a contrary effect , she conducted him up stairs , where he found a larger hex on the landing place , which she admitted had also been brought there by her niece , and which , in ad . dltlon to a quantity of gauze , crape , Ac , contained nearly £ 20 worth of ribbon , which he identified as part of his stock . The prisoner objected to the prosecution of any further search upon the premises ; but witness insisted oa examining her bed-room , where they discovered a third box filled with property of a similar

      description , and a large parcel , containing silk dresses and ether costly articles of apparel , which had evidently been recently purchased . The prisoner was then taken into custody , and conveyed with the whole of the property to the station-bouse . The prosecutor added , that since the discovery of the robbery he had ascertained that the prisoner ' s niece had been in the regular habit of removing large parcels from the premises on Sua . day , while his family were at church , and he estimated the entire amount of hit loss at nearly £ 200 , —Mr Vano , who appeared for the prisoner , intimated that she was entirely unacquainted with the nature or ownership of the property which had been left under her care , and was proceeding to offer tome farther observations , when—Mr Hammill observed tbat he had better reserve the defence , at it was his decided intention to commit the prisoner for trial ; but he should order her to be brought up again for the completion of the evidence , and in the mean time accept bail for her appearance , herself In £ 200 and two sureties in £ 160 each .

      sons ! protection as well as the protection of the letters relative to the alleged marriage which she had in her possession .

Half breeds and other descriptions of sheep were very slow in sale , at barely stationary prices However , nearly the whole ofthe sheep found buyers Prime small calves were tolerably firm , at late rates otherwise the veal trade was in a sluggish state , at nnl altered quotations .

      State Of Trade. Manchester, Tuesday, Oct...

      STATE OF TRADE . Manchester , Tuesday , Oct 24 . — We have again to re port a heavy and drooping market . The increasing pressure of a full production upon outlets , so seriously narrowed by various causes , has been felt to day iu a somewhat further diminution of the prices of yarns and goods . There has bs * n rather an increased inquiry , together with some business for goods adapted to the China markets—no doubt in anticipation of the coming mail . The heovy shirtings fer China continue relatively morevaluable than the lighter fabrics for India . The operations for the various continental markets have been limited and irregular . Our home-trade houses are complaining of a greatly increased flatness in their business . A failure ia tiie stuff trade is announced to-day , viz ., Messrs S . A . Butterworth , and Co ., whose liabilities are stated at various amounts ; probably they may exceed £ 19 , 000 , They have a house at Bradford .

      HoDDERSFiKiD , Tuesday , Oct . 24 . —Tho transactions to-day have been very limited . Were it not not for a few orders received by the late American packets for fancy goods wo should have to report scarcely anything doing in the district . Halifax , Saturday , Oct . 21 . —We scarcely ever recollect seeing so small an amount of business dons in oar piece hall as was done today ; but there is rather more doing ia the warehouses , chiefly in plain goods , though by no means what is usual at this season . i . EEDS , Tuesday , Oct . 21 . —There has been perhaps a shade mere doing to-day at our cloth-halls than last week ; but , upon the whole , the state of our market remains without improvement .

      Rochdale , Monday , Oct . 23 . —There has been a steady demand for goods of every description to-day , at prices much the same . as those of the preceding week . Wool remains heavy of sale , and the dealers complain of the limited demand the .-e is for the raw material .
