Rkovljnulal Mabkels. Manchester Coen Mab...
rKOVlJNUlAL MABKELS . Manchester Coen Mabket , Saturday . —Rather more business has been passing in flour during the week , owing to the dealers and bakers having reduced their stocks into so very narrow a compass ; the demand has , however , been chiefly confined to choice fresh qualities , winch maintained their previous value , whilst other descriptions were neglected , and could have been purchased on lower terms . The inquiry for cither oats or oatmeal has been without animation , but no material change in prices occurred . At our market this morning the transactions in Wheat were ofa limited character , and although any but the best runs were the turn cheaper , we do not vary the quotation . of this day se ' nnight . A moderate consumptive demand was experienced' for good marks of fresh-made flour , at fully late prices ; but inferior or stale parcels were without inquiry . . Oats moved offin retail at a slight improvement on the priees previously obtainable . In the value of prime cuts of oatmeal no alteration can be reported , the supply continuing scanty _.
Wawungtok Coiin Market , _Wkdnksdat . — At the market on Wednesday last there was a fair attendance of farmers , with fewer samples of wheat than last week . Prices were about tlie same . Red , 6 s . 3 d . to 7 s . ; white , 7 s . to 7 s . 3 d . and very fine _samples , 7 s . 6 d . per 70 lb . Oats , 3 s . 8 d . per 45 lb . Flour , best second , 37 s . ; common 3 * s . ; meal 33 s . per 240 . Thc consumption of flour has been much lessened by the hot weather . Tho farmers still bring us potatoes , and they are again Is . per load cheaper , Pinkeyes , 10 s . to lis . ; roiiere . lis . ; farmers _andshortt- ' ps , 8 s . per load of 253 lb . We had about halfa-dozen baskets of nico new kidney potatoes , whieh sold at 3 d . porlb . Birmingham Cobn Exchange , Wednesdat . — During the present week the transactions in wheat are only of a retail character , at about our previous currency . Grinding barley and beans maintained their late value . Oats found buyers at the rate of this day se ' nnight .
Newcastle Cokk Market . Tuesdav . — Our farmers brought a moderate _supply of wheat to market to-day , but we had a fair show of coasting samples , and the sale proved very dull for tine qualities , at prices the turn cheaper than on Saturday last , whilst inferior descriptions were quite neglected . For barley the demand was extremely limited , and business could not be transacted to any extent , as the maltimr season is _comjilet _.-ly over . The little inquiry for rye was confined to the best samples . Peas were looking rather lower In the value of oats or other grain no material alteration can be quoted . _RionuoND ( YoRKsnuu _*) Cork Mabket , Saturoay . — Wc had a large supply of grain in our market to-day , and the samples were rather better than usual . —Wheat sold from 5 s . to 8 s . 6 d . ; oats , 3 s . 4 d . to 4 s . fid . ; barlev , 4 s . to 4 s . 3 d . ; beans , 4 s . Cd . to 5 s . 6 d . per bushel .
State Op Trade. "Leeds.—Last Saturday's ...
STATE OP TRADE . "Leeds . —Last Saturday ' s market at our ' cloth halls was much the same as _tliemarkets of tho last few weeks , but on Tuesday there were fewer goods sold than we have witnessed for a long time past ; the fears of a change in the Ministry , and thc consequent delay ' in the settlement of railway ar . d other important matters , bus completely stopped the merchants from speculating at the present crisis . Prices are nominal although the stocks are moderate , and the manufacturers continue to act with great caution . We have also had a dull week of business in the warehouses . This heing betwixt the seasons , very few buyers have been in the town , and those who have purchased havh done less than usual . — Leeds Mercury . Bradford . _—TIic business done in wool sales are very limited . The spinners buy only for present consumption . There is , however , no fall in price . In yarns there is a iair . trade , so far as demand goes , but prises are such as to give no encouragement to spinners to do more business . Therehas been nu alteration in the piece market for the last two weeks .
Huddersfield . —Although there has not been that quantity of business transacted to-day which the season would warrant , there has been a tolerably spirited market , and goods , particularly those of novel design ami fair quality , Imve sold freely . _Tliegoneral complaint _amongst both merchants aud manufacturers is , thut until the agitated feeling which pervades all classes as to the ultimate fate of the Corn Lawn can become settled , that buoyant and healthy confidence , which is tho very spirit of commercial enterprise , cannot be established , and a dull monotony in business will be the result . During the week there have heen several of thc l . _u-ger London and provincial buyers in the town , and the wariness aud caution with whicli tliey have done business fully bears out these remarks . Nevertheless , their purchases have been tolerably heavy . Halifax . —In the price of wool there is no variation , aud prices both of pieces and yarn remain film . The hall exhibited somo animation amongst buyers generally , who are looking out for goods suitable for tlie season .
_ItociiDAL ) Flannel Market . —The flannel market Imb been dull , and tho _business transacted has bueil upon a limited scale ; indeed , few goods were offered for _siile , on account of thc previous week being Whitsuntide . The wool market _reiuulns steady , aud prices are firm .
State Op Trade. "Leeds.—Last Saturday's ...
_Heckmondwike Blanket Market .-t TIic attendance of buyers at this market , both Monday and to-day , has not been good . There is not much alteration iu prices the last few weeks . Good samples continue scarce . Leicester . —The demand is slack for the home trade . Some orders have been received for the continent , and the s tocks , on hand of useful goods are not very heavy . E nglish wool yarns are more difficult to buy , and show a te iidency to advance . Nottingham—A moderate amount of business was done at the end of lust week in finished goods of most kinds , especially fancies of fresh patterns . Replacing these out of rough stocks is all thut is doing with tlio
makers of goods , as there is as yet no increase of confidence in prices , or continued demand , the aspect of public affairs is generally felt here to be unsatisfactory , and so far as trade is concerned , neutralises the otherwise cheering effect of the weather , and promise of a good harvest . Our fine yarns and cops maintain their prices ; the demand for warps , Ac . for Bradford , Coventry , and London , as well as for the continent , being very good . Nothing is so much to be desired as a lessened supply of lace goods , and greater attention to pattern and quality on the part of the English machine owner ; these , combined , will alone prove a remedy for the existing difficulties of our trade _.
Wool Markets . —Wakefield : Thc wool trade still rules dull , and although quotations remain the same , sales are made with difficulty , and on hardly so good terms . —Sclby . On Friday week the first market for the sale of wool was held at Sclby , and the supply of wool was much larger than could have been anticipated . —York : The supply of wool on Thursday was good , both on quantity and quality . The business of thc day was dull , and lower prices than last week were submitted to . Several lots remained over tlie next week unsold , lokl . to 12 d .. and for a superior quality 12 id . per lb . —Northallerton : There was tlie greatest supply of wool this day ever known , and a numerwest of Yorkshire and
ous attendance of buyers from the other parts , and a great deal of business done . Prices ruled from 8 d . to 10 d ., some very prime reached lid . and 12 d . perlb—Hull : —There was a fair supply of wool on Tuesday , and generally of good quality . Tlie attendance of buyers was large , and nearly all sold up at 27 s . to 28 s . Ud per tod . From thc reports which we have received of the progress of shearing , a much larger supply is anticipated next week . —Howden : There was a fair show of wool at market on Tuesday . The following are the prices : —Ewe and massam , lid . per lb . ; half ewe and hog , ls . ; fine English hog wool , ls . id , ; and Cheviot hogs , ls . Id .

Aldormaa Farebrother , on Saturday . The evidence having been read over , and the depositions signed in tbe case of fraud on Mrs E . Loyer ,
Mr . Samuel Shuttle worth , wholesale teadealer , of Eastcheap and Chelmsford , produced a copy ofa certificate of the prisoner's marriage with Mrs . Josephine Langhorn , at St . Giles ' s church , Camberwell , in June , 1839 , That lady was his wife ' s sister , and be believed her to be alive at New York , He produced a letter written' by her , dated the 22 nd of last March . He knew it to be in the handwriting of that lady . The contents entirely alluded to her destitute condition . Mr . Alderman Farebrother * . Prisoner , you may not be aware thatit is our intention now to show that you married a woman in 1844 , when you had a wife , and who is still alive . Prisoner : I admit that I married that female , but the _othefoneisdead . Mr . Alderman Farebrother : I hold in my band a letter detailing the circumstances of her death , and I blush that you have not a spark of human feeling tbat would dictate to you more humane conduct ,
Mr . Shuttleworth ( much hurt ) begged to contradict a statement that the prisoner had made respecting Mrs . Langhorn , wherein he remarked that 3 be waB living with another man now in New York , hy whom ske had children ; now , that was totally false , and the prisoner knew such to be the case . Sergeant Mackenzie , B 5 , produced a copy of the certificate of marriage of the prisoner , with a Miss Lovejoy , at St . Phillips ' s Church , Liverpool , on the 22 nd of June , ia « , He also produced another copy ofthe prisoner ' s marriage ¦ with Mrs . C . Wright , at St . _Leouavd't Church , Shoreditch , in June , 1845 . Mr , lt . Caldecott , a schoolmaster , living in Bethnalgreen , proved that the Mrs . Wright was his Mother , and was present at her marriage with the prisoner . She was at present living in Dublin .
Mr , Alderman Farebrother asked the prisoner if he had anything to say ?—He replied ho would " reserve " it until his trial , when he wouid bring hig whoie force against the charges . The prisoner then made application for some clothes which were found in a trunk at his lodgings , nt tho public _, house at Chelsea . He wanted them for a change . He also wished the magistrate ' s protection in having £ 800 which he left in the trunk , safely guarded . The police sergeant said the only money found upon him or in his clothes was 10 s , 6 d . Mr . Alderman Farebrother asked the prisoner if the £ 300 was in money or notes ? Prisoner : In Banli of England notes , and I bave 10 , 000 _d-Jlars . The sergeant remarked that there were two empty bags in the box , marked 5 , 000 upon them .
Thepruoner begged the Alderman to loo * _* over lii » papers in the possession ofthe police . Mr . Alderman Farebrother did so . There were a number of answers from females , to whom the prison-r had evidently profussed the greatest attachment , and several sham _billfi of exchange , "kites , " but nothing of the kind spoken ot by the prisoner . Mr . Alderman Farebrother said he should commit him to Newgate for the two cases of fraud on Mrs . Loyer , and for marrying Mrs . Wright when he had a former wife , Mrs . Langhorn , alive . He should remand him on the case of marrying Miss Lovejoy : no doubt that would be satisfactorily proved against hini . The following is a copy of tho letter alluded to by the Alderman : — New York . April 24 . 1845 .
" Madam , —Your letter , which I received by the Siddons , should have been answered before , but that it has been mislaid , and I am still unable to find it . I must tell you , therefore , what I recollect of the circumstances respecting Mrs . Mortimer . I aid . uot & ee her after the first day of our voyage . I believe she never got out of her bsrth after the second day . I was introduced to her by Mrs . Roberts , and she appeared to me to be in tolerable health . I was in tho next cabin ; and as there was a large opening at the top , we heard very plainly what was said in each other ' s places . A plain , good-natured Englishwoman , in the next berth to theirs , offered to do anything for Mrs . Mortimer , and was refused until she said she was ashamed of offering hor services . The _firnt time I recollect anything about them was when he was
drunk . When he got into bed she screamed out , " Mortimer , don't touch me . " Afterwards she cried , and I suppose she _pushed him away , for be swore at her , and said , ' Let me once get my legs into New York , and 1 will mark you . ' The time went ou , and every one wondered that _Mrf . Mortimer did not try to get up . When she be » came so ill that her groans were too distressing forme to bear , I sent for the mate , and told him ; and the captain , I believe , saw her ; but no woman was allowed by i he husband to do anything for . hci _* _. Two young women wished to go to her , and they told me that he said , " She is mad ; it is of no use to speak to her . " She , hearing him . said , " I am uot mad , James ; I know what they say , let them in , " but they wer « not admitted , As I _l-iy awake , 1 hea _** d her say , " Lord have mercy , " * ' Christ
save me , " and such broken sentences-, aud my children , who ceuld hear better , being even with her bed , said _shi _som' _-times talked queerly _, but that was only about twenty-four hours befoie her death . Mortimer was never up with her one night , for the night before she died she xclaimed , 'Oh , Mortimer , I shall die , I shall die , ' and he doggedly replied , 'Dietben . ' Then she would beseech him , 'Dear , dear James , take mo out of this place . ' But still no one was allowed to go iu It was beyond description _puinful for me to hear aud hear her awful groans , which resembled the bowlings ofa eat . The last night she lived , in rather a stronger voice than I expeeti'd , she said , * Turn me , _Jnm « s , i » n > _dyjug , ' j _fo was _aBleep by her side , and in reply , said , ' What do you want ! What do you want . ' . ' Some time after I heard
another fainter groan , and at the time said to myself , * that is much liko a rattle in the throat . ' I had _bsen much disturbed night and day . and nowj all being quieter , I fell asleep . At eight o ' clock the next morning , the hoy who waited upou us came and told us tbat Mrs . Mortimer was dead and overboard . How much I was shucked I need not try to tell you . The same day M « . timer was walking about the ship with her gold watuh about his neek , an object of suspicion and dislike to all on hoard . I was told he was ransacking her trunks , before I knew of her death , and at night he had a man in his cabin , with whom he was laughing and chuckling about the watch and other valuables . 1 did not see him throw the body overboard , but the sailors did , and you may rely upon it she was not sowed up in any rug . He
did aak tho Englishwoman to dress her in a nighr-gown , Sic , but she replied , - _ No , you would not let me do anything for her while living , and uow she is dead you may do the rest yourself . ' I heard that she had a clean gown , cap , shift , and stockings put on previous _ts the sewing up . This is the plain account , so fur as I " snow _anything about it . I do uot give _tiiiy opinion on tbe tale . It woull be improper . I r _. nly and , that he was an object of detestation to all and walked about ; the vessel , looking what he is , a very bad being , in a human shape . I wus never able to sit up in my cabin , from _» be lirst to the last , so was never able to Jo for myself even , j conld not , therefore , interfere , as I was useless . "I am , madam , yours sincerely ,
The name of the writer the reporter was solicited to omit . She is a highly respectable _younj ; lady , and the lctur was addressed to a Miss King , in Liverpool , who officiated as bridesmaid to Miss Lovejoy . Thin was the youug lady whom the prisoner succeeded in inducing to break up a respectable seminary iu Liverpool . At the prisoner ' s trial she will be in attendance to give evidence respecting that marriage . The _prisoner , on leaving the bar , _wjefced all goodbye .
