, ttwo hoars . 1 weniawayafterthattime , and returned _aasain , and continued watching the house again until aa late hour . A gentleman named Pennington , whoa II had sent for , joined me about ten o ' clock at night . When 1 went to tha honse with Mr Fleay I went _iiinto the ro _^ ra , aud said at once , ' That is the C _Countess . ' tipen that occasion I received a sum of 113 s 81 which I bad paid for some trifling artiole ? , sand anions the items was a sum of 53 , which the ( _Counters had _deiired me to give my own servants . I v _* -a _' . c « d tho hou-e again , during a portion of the delay , but I swear I was not doin g so the whole day . II expected they were going off , and that was the treason for my watching . On the day the marriage t took place 1 did aot repeatedly call ont to the
_prisBaner . 'You shall notba abatoneaV IA laugh . ) ] In July , when I was at Boulogne , I was _summoned I before tha _palioa by tbe baron for walking before _i their house bat I swear I made use of no offensive < or insulting _sisna to them —I walked up and down 1 because I wished to see them—Why ! Because , ¦ whenever I met them I used to Io 3 k at them and i follow them . —Te insult them ? No . I have a right 1 to looka < i aay one I please , particularly at a person ' who had stolen my rings . —Did yon not do it to ini Bnlt them _? I did it that they might see me . _ They j might take it as an insult if they pleased . —Did yon : not de it purposely to insult them , the partiea beiBg j husband , wife , and mother ! They might take it ; as an insult if they pleased . —Did not Mr Pennington
i 6 ay to you that von had made a _seandaiona _imputai tion npon the lady , and tbat if sha took his advice _ir-hswonld institute legal _procesdinea _a-ainst you ! He eaid something ofthe sort , acd those may have I been his exact words . Elin Russell deposed that in 1816 she was en-I _gagei aa housemaid to the mother ofthe orisoner _, _i and knew the prisoner , who was then Miss Tod' hunter . She afterwards went into , the service of a I gentleman named Swan . On the day before the pi i soner was married to the baron , she railed at her : mistress s house in a cab , and wished her to go with her , as she said , to make some money . Witness could not gat leave to go out on tbat day . and it . was arranged t _lat she should assist at ths wedding on the
following day . She went accordingly to the house cf the _citfttess , in Thayer Street , and assisted in preparing the wedding breakfast , and in the afternoon , fatweea three and four o ' clock , the prisoner cave _har two rings wrapped in silver paper , and told her tn go snd pawn them at Mr Boyce _' _s , in Lisson Gr . ivc , and to ce- £ 10 for them , and she was to bring a £ 5 note an i five sovereigns , and the prisoner gave her moftw to pay for the cab aid the ticket , _sr _< as not to break into the £ 10 , as Bhe wanted 'o send the note _abroad . She accordingly went to the _pawnbroker ' s _, end pledged them as she had been directed , snd brought the money back to the prisoaer , who tore np the _dnolicste . and put the £ 5 note into a letter , and gave her 101 . to pay the foreign postage npon
it . The same afternoon the witness said she paid a milliner ' s bill for the prisoner , amounting to £ 3 17 ' ., with , as she supposed , ' . the money ob tciaed by pledging the rings . Before sbe left the _houss on this day she remembered some gentle maa coming to the house , and hearing a confusion np stairs , and Airily afterwards the prisoner came to her and told her to put oa her thinpa and ' rush ' home , as it was late . Witness called the attention ofthe prisoner to the disturbance that had taken place , and th 3 _prisoner said there had been a little _'fus 5 , ' cr something of that kind . The witness went on to explain that after having been in another situation , she agaia went into the service ef the prisoner ' s mother in June . 1817 , and _theprisoner aad her hnaband used io visit them . In _August the prieo-er told her thst her husband had been _soildins her _abant
a -410 note , and she at the ssme time told her for God ' _ssakenottoRayanythingabonttheringsthatshe gave her , or the two silver spoons that she bad given her to pledge . The prisoner had given her two silver anions to _oledse , in the _previous October , at Mr Bores '? . The witness add _^ d , tha * she was discharged by the prisoner ' s mother five weeks azo oa acconnt of an _unpleasant affair that occurred , but of which she was entirely innocent . Some persons got into the house , and stole seme of the trinkets , ard the ofifeers ware sent for , and witness was suspected , hat after a few days the countess said there was _nothing against her , and tha might go , and she paid her ber wages . After ahe had been discharged , in eonse _qoeccB of a _cotRtnunieation she had vrith a gentleman named _narding , Bhe went to Mr _Brjyoa ' a , aad _afterwards informed a policeman of what she knew regarding the pawning of the _rinrs .
_Cr-tss-examined : She first left the _conntes- _'s service in November , 1816 , and thea went to her mo thet ' s ,- * , _*; Ross , in Herefordshire . Th _9 witnes 9 waa then questioned as to whether she was not delivered of a child , acd she swore positively that she had not , but declined to state whether she had miscarried or not . She said that the baroness asked permission for her to go tothe countess ' s house on the day of the _msrriase _, snd Bhe at onee told her that she wanted her ti make a little money for her . She first mad ] this statement to the solicitor a few days ago . _Would * gwe « that tbe conn : essleft the house an early as three o ' clock on the 1 st of May . She was not aware _thatshe was ts leave town hy the half-past five o ' clock train , but was Bare that she left at three
o clock . She could not say whether tbe conversation atantthe ring took place in the back dining room or tbe bedroom . There was no dinner on this day , and they bad nothing after the wedding breakfast . Mr and Mrs Pennington stated in the house all night , bat * be wonld swear that they did not dine , and that Ae did not wait upon them , Il wss between the _breakfast and the time of departure that the baroness told _herta pawn the ring * , and she said she was to eiv * the name of Mary Anne Turner , 15 , _Gloucester Place , and she pawned the rings in that mme . She said she was sure she did not pawn the rings on the Friday , and that she never Eaw them till
Saturday , the lst of May , the day of which Ihepri . Boner w ? a matried . She did not pay particular attention fo what waa written on the duplicate , but she gave it to the prisoner the moment she returned , but she e ? tfd not say whether she was in the bedroom or the back dining room at the time . The witness was _th-masked whetber this waa not the first time she had made this statement , and ahe made no answer . She was sure ahe got home » early as half-past ten o ' efock at night , and her mistress discharged her , because she wasnot home by _half-past four . Could notrecoPect having mentioned to any ona what the baroness had said about there having been a little _fusa' in the han * o .
The witness was then pressed by Mr Co : kburn to state where the alleged conversations took place between her and the prisoner , bnt she -fould not state positively , _irerelyeaying it was either in the bedroom or the bark dining _reom . Mr _Cickburn insisted apon an answer being _giv-n and he asked the witness whether she declined to name any particular place or time , for fear he should call Eos * .- * ene to contradict her ? S ' ae made no reply . The witness was then asked when-she had first made _wrae ofthe statements to which she had deposed , and ahe admitted that this was the first occasion of ber having done so , and that she did not ssy a word respecting them when she was _examined before the 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 .
Some fnrther evidence was given with regard to tte pawning of the rings , and the manner in whieh the matter was made known to the prosecutor _Uirough the instrumentality of the witness Russell . Tho shopman _, to Mr Borce proved that two diamond _Sr To ! _Sl _^ wned at hfs -f- *~ fu shop on the lst of May , 1847 .. by a woman , but he could not speak pomtively to the witness RasseU being the person . He alosaid that the same rings were pledged by the same person , whoever she was , on some previous oceasionand he contradicted
, Russell with regard to tte -Mme m which , they were pawned oa Ihe lst of May , stating that the name given was Mary Wilson , M _* not _M-ay Anne Tarae » » as she had represented . The _sfritemeatnurie by the p risoner when before themagu rate was put in . She said : Sir John tf teredniemarrisg _? , saying that he was richer than we baroa . He showed me the rings , and I handed _wemtorayraothar , who gave them to the baron _andnaritumad themtoSirJohn Hare , and I have never seen them since .
u _^ i _ _luktolMre interposed and complained of _ducf » " _- _w-ueh the cross-examination was con-Mr Justice Colt-nan ssidhe thoughtthere was very much to complain of in the manner in which th ° witness gave his evidence . ( _Jro-s-exircination continued : I swear I have not , given ths witness Eli-a Russell any money , neither nave I promised her any , nor am I aware that any cats' else has done so . The barou upon one occasion
threatened to knock me down for making such a eharge against his wife . I saw the prisoner and her husband aad mother several times between the _period of their arriving ia England and when I prefo . _*« d this eharge .

A j -wr here wished fo ask Sir John whether , le-
Tbiaii Or The Baroness Bt Mart. " Dec 2....
forehe left Bath , he said any thing to any member l of hia family respecting- his loss ! Sir John replied that he did not , because he thought it weuld only be necessary to ask for them to get them back , The juror ; Did yon make no omplaint at any police-station when the baron _threatened ts turn yea cut of his house , on your making Vhe charges _. Sir John : I did not make any complaint . This was the case fer the ptosecution . Mr Cockburn then made ** ¦ most eleqaent and forcible address to thejury on behalf of the acoused lady . He certainly should not think himself justified in I ridiculing any man who might be deemed worthy [ of receiving tbe honour of knighthood at the hands ot
his Sovereign , but he did think that every one might be excused for laughing at an old gentleman like the prosecutor , who , forgetful of his years , took upon himself to followyouur * ladies about , dance with them at different boarding houses , write love sonnets , and place poetry upon their plates , and other ridiculous proceedings , which might be excusable in a boy , but which were _totally inconsistent with the position of tke prosecutor and his advanced period of life . He then adverted to the manner in which the proseoutor hid given his evidence , and said , that althoHgh he could hardly get ona single _straightforward answer from him . it wa 3 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 occasions . 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 these rings , and the care he took of thera , and yet after tbey were left in the possession of the prisoner on the night when he first showed tbem to her , ho pretended that he had entirely forgotten them , although with regard to the repair of the Baron ' s owa ring , he did not forget to ask tor the immense sum of sixcence whioh he had expended
for it . With regard to the evidenoe of the witness _Ru-rsell , he submitted that it was an entire fabricatioc , and that , after whatsbo had admitted , no jary woald b 3 justified in piscine ; any reliance upon such a persoa . The learned counsel having intimated that a _number of witnesses were in attendance , but tbat he did not consider it necessary to call them , conoluded a very able defenoe by expressing a confident opinion tbat the jury would dismis _i the _aeoused lady from the conrt , and restore her to that position in society to which she was _entitled . A good deal of applause followed the conclusion of the learned counsel ' s speech , and itwas sometime before it could bo repressed .
Mr Justice Coltman , in summiBg np , said , that a material question for tke 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 eto'en from the prosecutor ; and the nest qaestion was , whether the prisoner look the rings with tho intention to steal them . It . was certainly very singular thatthe _prosecntor should not have said a word aboat the rings from the Monday to the Friday ; and he could just as well have taken proceedings then , if he had been eo minded , as eow , but he had not thought fit to do so ; . and it was very important to reoollect that the prisoner had told the same Btory from firat to last , andhad always represented , and had done so
that day by lie * counsel , that the rings were returned The learned judge then proceeded to observe that the conduct of Sir John towards the prisoner and her mofser waa certainly not creditable to him , or what would bave baen 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 tho case , ob * serving that tbe 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 wonld lookat _allthecircumstances ofthe case , and say , by their verdict , whether they _ODnsidered the oharge had been made out to their satisfaction or not .
Tbe jary immediately returned a verdict of not guilty ; and the accused lady left the court accompanied by her husband and friends . The trial occupied more than nine hours .

THE LONDON STONEMASONS . IHB _( JDKEN V . GRAY ASD 0 IHEB 3 . This case , it will be remembered , is aa indictment against a nussber of stonemasons for a conspiracy to intimidate and nrevent workmen from entering the service of Mr Trego , the builder , and which stood over from last Monday , in the expectation that some arrangement weuld be effected between the parties , was called on . A number of the defendants having surrendered , Mr Bodkin Baid his lordship would remember that upon the last occasion he made an application to postpone the trial on account ot the absence of a material witneta for the presecutiea . Upon that focasion , his lordship had thrown out a suggestion that the case might be settled in an amicable manner , 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 , aud at the same time expressed a knowledge on their part of the illegality of sueh proceedings . Under these circumstances , he should be content , oh the part of the prosecution , if the defendants were to enter into tbeir 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 ofa very unpleasant character , and he trusted that the effect of the * f * isent proceeding would be to restore that good fail ng between the employer and the employed which wis so essential for their mutual advantage .
Mr Clarkson , who appeared for some of tbe defendants , said that no more than justice had b * en 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 be was instructed , ever contemplated such a proceeding . Mr Ballantine , who likewise waa instructed for the defence , expressed his satisfaction atthe termination ofthe proceedings ; and also said , that he thought the course adopted by bis 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 _expressedhia gratification at the result of the proceeding .
The Recorder having observed that he hoped the effect would be te restore a kind feeling between the masters and the workmen , then called upon the de _fendants who were called upon to enter into their _recognisance to appear as _suggested , when , to the astonishment of every one in couit , their own counsel not excepted , they refused to do so ; aad one or two of them , ia a very excited manner , insisted Hpon being tried . Mr Parry said he wished he had known this before . He was instructed by their attorney , Mr H . B . Roberts _, that they were quite content with the proposed arrangement , and he bad no idea that they would have objected to do what was re quired of them . The Recorder remarked that their attorney , who was aot actuated by passion or ill-feeling , bad given them the proper advice .
Mr Ballantine said he should not alter the course he had taken , which was adopted with the direct sanction of the defendants' attorney . If they now chose to take a different proceeding he Bhould retire altogether from the matter and return his brief . The coarse proposed by the counsel for the prosecution he considered very proper , and one which the defendants ought readily to agree to , and if they refused , he woald have nothing more to do with the case . The defendants still refused to enter into the required recognisances , although it was evidently
merely a matter of form , and tended to no result likely to be injurious to them , provided no fresh offence was csmmitted ; and some of the party insisted on being tried . Mr Bodkin said , that , acting npon the faith of the arrangement made with tho defendants' connsel , he , of course , had no witnesses in attendance ; and nnder the circumstances he shonld apply to the Court to order the defendants to enter into fresh recognisances , with sureties , of the same amount as those upon which they had now surrendered , to appear and take their trial at the next sessions .
The Recorder , after some further discussion , said be should enlargethe _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 was made , and that they ( tbe defendants ! had yielded to the solicitation of two or three of their body who appeared desirous to keep np an . angry feeling , and refused to enter into their personal recognisance to appear if ealled upon . They must net consider this as any triumph , for upon a certificate of tbe existence ofthe indiotment against them , thoy would all be liable to be taken into custody upon a benoh warrant , and would have te find fresh bail , which , after what had taken place-that day they might find some difficulty iu obtaining .
Mr Bodkin aaid that , oa the part of the prosecution , he was quite content with the course proposed by his lordship . The Recorder said he should expect him to be prepared to proceed with the prosecution at the next sesiion in any case where a . defendant insisted upon being tried . He added , thatit waa a great pity , when people placed themselves ia the hands of discreet persons acquainted with the law , tbat they would not bs advised to their own real iaterest ; and he hoped that apon tbe next occasion those who were willing to accede to the course proposed by the counsel for the _proseoathn , would not suffer tbeir minds to be poisoned by those who were acting contrary to the opinion of their _osva legal advisers , _tl » C » ttrt . and every one concerned in the casa . The defendants then left the court .

Having , previously to this , hereavment , received honourable attentions from a French g-ntleinan , named Herbert , holding an appointment in the < eokyard . at Cherbourg , she accepted his overtures and married bim j but ber husband , npon the revolution breBkio ' g ° out shortly after , was d prived of his office , an J although he

anothor , for obtaining a large _quandty of goads Under false yrctencos from a linen draper ln tbe City' Road . The mistress was convioted and is bow undergoing a sentence of twelve months'imprisonment ; but it being evident the voting woman _wse entirely innocent , she was at once discharged by tho oourt aad handed over to the caro of tho applicant . All their efforts to obtain employ _, raent of any description had been wholly froltles- , and as both were now in a state of extreme destitution , without a friend to help them , and neither of them had . tasted food for tno days , she had been advised la her _extremity to . apply to the magistrate , to save them from actual starvation . Tho applicant handed in ber father ' s commission aud a number of passports and letters from Mr _Featherstonhsagh , tho consul , tbe mayor of Cborbeurg ,
and other gentlemen , in confirmation of her statement ; and Holland , the warrant officer , wbo bad been direoted to make inquiries about her , reported tbat sho snd her cousin had lived soprlrately and frith suoh an appear _, ance of respectability that it was not until a few days sinoe that their landlady bad discovered tho starving _oonditlon tbey were In . —Mr Hammill said It was cer . tainl a most distressing case , and one eo worthy the consideration of the public , tbat he sincerely hoped the press , wonld notioe it , as his means of benevoleqce . wore very limited . He regretted he could only present the lady with 10 * . for ber immediate exigencies , but trusted her wants would bs more liberally responded to by others —The applicant expressed her thanks for . the magistrate ' s kindness , and left tbe court .

The prosecutor Btated that he had occupied apartments abont two _moatha since at a house In _Laburnham Terrace , Sing-land Road , in which the pri . soner and hia mother also resided . On the 5 th of October last hehad occasion to leave home for some- hoars , having previously , deposited _thlrty-nlue soverei gns and same silver moaey in a cash box , whioh ho locked up at the bottom of his trunk in hia sleeping apartment . On his return at night he observed tbat the trunk remained apparently undisturbed , but , having examined it more
closely two days af _erwards , he discovered that although it was still securely locked , as he . had left it , tho hinges at the back ofthe lid had been wrenched off , and tbat ths cash-box had also been forced open , and the whole of the money abstracted . He removed _ehortly . aftcr . wards to another residence , but previously gave information of the robbery to tbe polioe , who subsequently ob . taiued Buch information aa induced bim to glvo . tho prisoner into custody — _Pollce .

married ; he proceeded to his mother ' s bouse ,. where he discovered a large quantity of male and female apparel , whioh had evidently been recently purohased . On apprising him ef tbe suspicions tbat attached . to him , the prisoner became greatly agitated , but speedily recovered himself , and expressed his readiness to meet tho charge . He had since beea informed tbat the contemplated marriage of the prisoner had been abandoned , and that he bad broken off bis acquaintance with his intended bride , who was now in attendanoe to give evidenoe , Jane Springhalt , a neatly dreised and comely young woman , who was evidently labouring nnder feelings of strong bat suppressed emotion , stated that theprisoner had been for a considerable time a suitor for her hand , and it was arranged between them tbat their _murriaro should

State Of Trade. Mancbesteb, Dec, 5.—Our ...
STATE OF TRADE . Mancbesteb , Dec , 5 . —Our market to-day hasbeen inactive , but firm . Those only who were compelled to sell , and they are now but very few , would 6 ubmit 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 and 9-8 printing cloths of middle and lower qualities move freely . Heavy goods are less active . From tbeinereased 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 .
Bradfobd . —Weols : There has been more wool changing hands during the past week , and the spinners generally have not large stocks . The supply in this market is now barely an average for this time of the year . Noils and shorts are njt altered either in demand or prices . Yarns : The contracts for bobbins for tbe month about commencing have not beeu on such advantageous terms for the manufacturers as for the month now closing . For all kinds , both low , middle , aud fine numbers , there is no disposition to take orders , except at higher prices ; and the demand both for shipping and borne _consumptioa iB fully batter ( for numbers ; tbau it _naa been since I 8 i 4 ; still the extreme low prices to which yarns have been furacd are by no means commensurate with the cost of wool , and when the finer kinds are exclusively combed by hand , low as wages aro , the spinners cannot realiseprimo cost . This is a very distressing state of things ; aud without a decided improvement in the price of yarns wc cannot see any chance of either employer or employed having any satisfactory remuneration .
PontvpooIi , —We regret to hear that a reduction is about to be made in the wages of the teeming operatives employed In the works in this vicinity . _KlTiiBiNG . —The strike of the bat plush weavers in the einpley of Mr Walters , at Kettering , terminated en Thursday week , in favour of the masters , the central committee ofthe National Tr _. dos Union refusing to support tho workmen . _—Northampton Eerald , _" _OiAsaow . —There has been considerable demand throughout the week , both for goods and yarn , although with very little actual advance in price _.
