      State of T&xde . —Trade is in a most depressed state in this district , and hundreds of labourers are out of employment . HAUFAX . Scicide . —On Thurday week , at Clifton , near this town , Mr . Samuel Camm , card-maker , whilst labounneunderafit of temporary insanity , put an end to his existence by shooting himself in his otehen . Paxes SociETT . —The Rev . David Moses gave an address in the Albion-street School-room , in this town , on Tuesday evening last , on the objects , views , and intentions contemplated by this Society , in pronrolgAting the principles of peace , with the hope of having it universally established .

      Sctjdkm Death . —Mr . Joseph Sugden , father of Mr D . Sagden , of Ae Talbo . Inn , in this town , suddeuly expired on Thurday week , on his return home Honadbeen out , and when a little above Haley HiU , Isonhowram , was seized with a fit , which appeared to be the forerunner of his mortality , as the last debt of nature was paid shortly after . MiiiowKER e . Hoxbst Weavkr . —Mr . George Holdswoith , the occupier of a mill in Saibbeudalo I near thiB town , placed a man na med Abraham Mitchell , a weaver in the hands of the constable <© n the supposed grennd of bis having been concerned m the robbery of his mill , which took place a few I days ago , and en Thursday week , had him brought before the

      magistrates , at their office , Ward ' s-end , and remanded to Saturday last , when , according to tne complainant ' s own showing , not a . particle of evidence did there appear that could , possibly criminate him m the slightest degree , and yet they had dared to handcuff the man the same as a feloD , only lakiDg them off when before the bench . Mr . Holroyd was engaged for Mitchell to defend his case , but after hearing the charge , declared his acquiescence with the beaehjin the opinion that they miiht as well have taken any one of them from what was stated , as the man in question . The accuser attempted to draw an inference , that because a number of pieces , which was stolen , had been found in a Sold near the bouse where the man lived , covered

      with stones , U was very likely he might be one of the party who had robbad him , and on this ground he had m < uie him a prisoner . Mitchell explained the case , by stating that he had ^ ae to Mr . Holdsworth s mi ll , ou the week previous , to enquire for F ??* » . *? * d been * o - to «* U * g » in © a the ^ Eaesdayfollowihg-, which hedTd , in the liope of obtaining some , when Mr . H . ob&erved , " Nay , I have marked thee down in my book , and I will not give thee any f but as to the robbery ne knew no more about it than a ehiJd , when he was taken into custody , by the constable , on the Thursday following . He was discharged immediately , with certain marks of disapprobation toivards his accusers for having placed the man in such a situation .

      Feloxt or mo Fklony . —On Saturday last , Mr . Murray , the police-officer from Bnghouse , near Halifax , endeavoured to establish a charge of felony against four boatmen , whom he had summoned before the magistrates , for having committed the serious offence of wheeling a barrow betwixt ten and eleven o'clock at night , with a &ack of beans on it ( a sample of which he appeared to have in a bag ) . Two of them were accused of being with the barrow , and on the inquiry as to where they were taking them to answered accordingly , and he followed them to the piace ; on reaching which , they stated they had brought them from a boat , and told him where the vessel was lying ; alter which he prooeeaed to tne

      place , ana when he got there , found one of the men on the boat , when he made inquiries of him if anything had been taken away from theboat , when he replied , nothing that he knew of . Ho then saw the captain , who toid him that he had ordered the two men to take the sack of beans from the boat on to hia house in Brighouse , as he wanted them there for private use , being his ownoicoperty—on which be inquired if he bad got airinvoice , or note , showing of whom he had bought them , when he replied no , a * he had paid for tiiem when he bought them , i'hat was his case , as he thought , from the time of night they were removing them , and other

      circumstances , he would be justified in bringing the men up , and he . had taken the sack of beans under hia care . Mr . Mitchell defended the captain ar . d his three men , stating there was no charge made ont against tnem , and he was not obliged to state either there or any where else , of whom he had got the beans , nor where , since there was no one put in any claims for them , as being the property of any oue eise . They were all discharged , as the bench were satisfied the officer had exceeded his duty ; when Mr . Murray safely asked if he was to give up the beans . Yes was the immediate reply , when the attorney told the captain to send one of his men for them .

      Fhlostc . —Mr . Tweedale , one of the contractors on the Leeds and Manchester Railway near this town , on Saturday last preferred a charge of felony against a Uer-house keeper , who resides near the same line of road , as oertain property belonging to aim had been fouud on his premises . A crowbar and other iron instruments , together with some broken pieces of timber , were produced , and the crow bar was sworn to by the smith who made tt . Mr . Holroyd and Mr . Miuhell were employed to defend the action , whea the latter named gentleman stated , on oehalf of the prisoner , that the place in which the crow bar was found was an out-building , to which any person might have access either day or night , as it was quite open , and on the fact being prored by a witu&ss , the magistrates allowed the case to bs passed over , cautioning the man to make his place more secure in future , aa if he were brought there again worse might happen to him .

      Embezzlt . me 5 t . —On Tuesday last , at the Magistrates' Office , Ward ' s End , in ibid townTMr . Smithson , from Brignouse or its neighbourhood , made a complaint against James Holt , a person who had been employed oy him in hia business soliciting aud receiving orders and accounts . Mr . Barber , attorney , of Brighoose , appeared for Mr . Smithson , and Mitchell for Hoh . The case , by request of the prisoners attorney , was adjourned from Saturday uet t » Tuesday , in order to give time to prepare a defence , but such was the nature of the charge against the prisoner , that no defence was then set up , as it was thought more prudent to defer it to another time ; but bail wae asked to be taken and refused by Mr . Briggs , the only magistrate present , as Uie amount of the different sums of money received but not accounted for ww very serious . He was committed to take his trial at the next Bradford Sessions , and the parties bound over to appear .

      THE LATE ELOPEMENT . ,. .

Capt Eeaviaide had followed them aafaraa St Omer , but , there loosiog all' trace of the fugitives , gave up the chase . Tfle latter , nevertheless , took no measures to conceal' themselves ; indeed , so much the contrary , that Mrs . Hwvisiio opened a correspondence witk her fettwrj ' Colonel Spacer , who resides at Boulogne .

      Qn- Friday morning last , Dr . Lardner and Mrs . Heaviaide were at breakfast , Wben thoy were alarmed % »» noise In the anteroom , and * by a rush at the door of the taUe-a-mang 6 r . The Doctor went to the door to ascertain the cause . The moment he opened it , he was ^ fpU ^ Bd by a blow of a heavy stick from Captain Hoeviside , who continued to flog him m vigorously as deservedly . While this was proceeding , the desk of Dr . Lardner was opened by the invading party . All the papers it contained were seized by them and carried off , as well as Mrs . Heaviside , who endeavoured to induce a Kscue by screaming loudly , and continued to do so until thfy reached tlra Hotel de 1 'Europe . There some sensation was created by the screams of the lady ,

      but wn * n the circumstances were stated to the persons ab ^ ut ^ o interfere , tlioy desisted . The whole party left foirBoaJfignp In the evening , with the exception of the Captain , who remained , in order to give Dr . Lardner an opportunity of calling him out if he should so think proper .

The coolness with winch the pro # . and «> n « . of the affair are argued , may be judged by the following extract from the New York Morning Herqld of the 1 st inat . : — " The commerce of the country has been , during the past yoar , very much curtailed , and the business

      of the United States has been drawn more within itself ; and if we consider the position of the whole country , a war with Great Britain would be fir more detrimental to her than to the United States . Tne trade of the Unitod States with Enguoidhae bocome very important to her welfare , and irae is more dependent upon this country for a supply of cotton and as a customer for her merchandize , t&an is the United States upon her . The United State ' s embrace every variety of clime , andi produce , like . China , every thing within itself which is necessary for the sustenance or luxury of its inhabitants * The first € ffectsof . VwM * WaiuW be to farjwr / back uponru « for collection , Bale , or claim , nearl y all the American securities floating in Europe . This would no doubt

      cause i some embarrassment , in tho next place , the planters at the South would feel severely for tho change in thefir market ; but we must consider that one-half of a large crop has already gone forward , the value of ' which would be much enhanced by a war . Th ? growth of the following year would be regulated , by tho demand from our own manufacturers , which would be inueh enhanced by the cessation of foreign iifiportg . Tho article of cotton forms' two-thirds ^ i- our exports , and witt average about 60 , 000 , 0 W dollars yearly . This export is the main spring of our oommerce , and it would undoulrtedly suffer to Borne extent in caee of a war , but it is of small importance when We consider the vast interests of the nor th and east , and all the

      manufacturing States , which would be much advanced by it . The above is from the City article of the Herald . The following extract on the Bamesubjeot . iB from the leading columns .-of that journal : — ' 1 m the is 8 uoof 8 uch a war there can be no doubt in this country . The 20 , 000 regular troops now in Canada might have-tho advantage in the first brush —but like the army of Pyrrhus against the Republican troops , of Fabrjciua , they would teach us to return the tide of e $ nqueat , andto drive the one from th | d contiaent as the other did from Italy . We are of the-same Wood ' as tie British are—of the same race— -tn © Batoivpeoplef-animated and inspired by a spirit * of ambition and freedom that never man be

      cottojiercd . Thfr result of such , a contest would be thfc attire snbjugation ^ f the Qanadas , and the final supvejraiou ' of British power in North America . Of this ie have no doubt . Two-thirds of the British cotomesiiow envy our inetitutions , our la W 8 , our trade , arid ourgloriouB prospects . They aresickof living in , the midst of a camp . In . other respects a war with ^ osland would establish our domestic manufactures and doineetio trade on an immoveable foundation , while it . Would be the ruin of the inanuf&oturee of EnfilandV with a certain wmeciot a revoltttioi ^ hj tha nuinlpr of operariveathrown ^ ut ot employment .
