ff . P . ROBERTS . TJsdbrneath will be read one of the most important of Mr . Roberts' irianr important triumphsmore important tlian those cases decided by the mere whim or caprice of a single justice of the peace , because it carries with it the might of the verdict of a jury . It would but weafcf n the reported case to offer further comment than merely to call attention to the rascality of those free traders who contract for the weaving of fifty-foar yards , and make the unfortunate slaves produce seventy . Of c ' -iurse , Mr . Clarke ' s name will be found amongst the list of free trade subscribers , and the evidence adduced upon the trial isasignincant taste of the justice in store for the working classes when his party shall have gamed political power . It will b 0 seen that Mr . Roberts has goUrerdictfor the full demand of his chcnt , and that , therefore , he evinced sound judgment in h . s desiretohave theca . se tried at the « m »« n i-BaUy intended , had not the judge cons « dercd it a fit for the assessor
ease . , We have frequently thought , and we "Ml * " * , that M r . Roberts' exclusive engagement with the colliers , althoush highly beneficial to that trade , is nevertliVessa ^ t national los 8 < In our oPimon - Mr . Roberts , as » local or sectional adviser , is thrown away . His legitimate place is the metropolis—near the courts , in the vicinity ef the Sesate House , directing a national movement , instead of wasting his energies for mere sectional purposes . Booby solicitors can do better service under Mr . Roberts' training than those of a superior class without his instruction . "What we desire to see is , a great national movement , not of the trades only , as far as Mr . Roberts is concerned , but of the whole of the working classes , with Mr . Roberts installed as their Attorney-General , and elected to the house of Commons , to watch thoir interests there : to see to the repeal of
laws pressing injuriously upen labour , and to the enactment of those required for its protection . We know of nri single act more easy of accomplishment if the people would only decide npon its necessity .
MANGI 1 ESTER . SHERIFF'S COURT , Thubsday , Arum 23 . ( Before Robert Brandt , Esq . Assessor . J WEAVER'S WAGES . LENGTH OF CDT 8 . Koscoe » . Clibke , —This was an action fur wages , in-Tolriagasomewhat serious charge against Messrs . Geo . Clarke ami Co . eoliott splatters and Manufacturers b y power , Pollara street . Sir . Greene , barrister , instructed by Mr . TV . P . Roberts , appeared for the plaintiff ; and Jfr . Saunders , of the firm of Atkinson , Saunders , and Atkinson , attorneys , for the defendant . The declaration stated , that the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 10 s . the value of labour done by the plaintiff for the defendant , and at his request . To this declaration the defendant pleaded that , except as to 9 s . 6 ( 1 . he never
¦ was in-leVtedto the plaintiff in the manner alleged , and that that sum was ready to be paid . Mr . Greene stated tre case for the plainriff , who ,-he said , now worked at Oldliam , but was formerly in theserricc of Mr . Clarke , an " extensile manufacturer . In September or October he went into that employment , upon the hiring of Mr . Charles Clarke , the son of the defendant , wbo took him on the terms that he was to have 2 s . Od . for weaving acutof nankeen , of 51 yards length . After the plaintilf had been there sometime , he began to think the cuts were considerably longer than 51 yards , and on the 10 th of J-nu-irr thr plaintiff and some other wearers measured a cut , and found that instead of being 54 yards , itwasacta . lly 70 yards , measured by a string of 37 inches to the yard . Complaints had been made by the weavers before
this , that t ] e cats were too long , and these complaints being thus proved to be well-founded , the weavers turned ont . Mr . Chr . rles Clark summoned several of the weavers , but the charge was afterwards abandoned . - Now , when the defendant turned ont , there were , some wages due to him ; for the mode of pajment in the mill is , for the men to receive on the Saturday payment ft * the work done up to Wednesday , so that what the defendant did between Wednesday and Saturday was unpaid . He and other men applied for summonses against Mr . Clark for these wages , but the magistrate refused them , on the if oiind that lie l . ad Hot jurisdiction in the matter , when the an omt Bought for -was xmnera week's wages . If the summons had been granted , probably the plaintiff would have been well satisfied with it , whatever the decision
might have b ? eu . But that being refused , he went to the Court of Queen ' s Bench , with the intention of hav . Ing the case tried before one of the judges . Tfee case ought to hare been tried at the last Liverpool assizes , but in consequence of some delays that could not be done , and the judge decided that it was a case proper tjbe brought before the learned assessor . On the 28 th of January , Mr . Charles Clarke called together a number of the hands who had turned out , among -trhom was ilie defendant , and proposed that they sho : ld rave 6 d . a cat additional . Now what was this fir ? Was it not dene because the detection had taken place ? ilr . Clarke , it could also be shown , had acknowledged that the cuts were 6 G yards iu length . Besides , from t ' -Je Wednesday to the Saturday the plaintiff had
wftYMi three cuts , which of course amounted to 7 s , 6 d , ; oat the defendant had paid into court the sum of 9 s . 6 d . which seemed very like an admission that there had been more work than 54 yards done to the cut . Air . Greene then called Mr . Charles Clarke , and examined him at some length . From his evidence it appeared that when a weaver got a warp , he receives a " taHy-paper" with it , on which , amongst other figures , were " 14 , " in a column under fie head "length . " This , it was stated by the plaintiff , was understood to represent the length of the cut , and they had no other mode of knowing the length of die rut but that , exctpt by measuring it jard by yard , The witness said the hi was merely a nominal number , thutit bad been used for this description of goods ever since he had been in the mill , and that it merely
indicated the quality of the work , and not the length of the piece , so that any other sign , an A or a B , would answer the purpose as well . . The actual length of the cuts of blue nankeens varied from 58 to 61 yards , and the wearers were paid from 2 a . 4 d . to 2 s . 6 d . for weaving them . They did not tell the weavers the length of the cut . They could easily tell whether it was long or short , by measuring it with an inch rule on the beam , —A number ofwituissesj who were called for the pfcvntiff , distinctly state 4 that they understood the figuns " 34 " to be the length of the cut , and that they had continued working under that impression ; and some of the witnesses for the defence admitted that they had the same impression ,
bat thongh they thought the cats were longer than that , ihey nev « r complained . —Mr . Saunders and Mr . Greene baring twin addressed the jury , tlie learned assessor summed up , and briefly explained the case to the jury . He 5-aid , though there did not appear any direct attempt at fraud on the part of the defendant , yet it might reasonably be supposed that the plaintiff had been misled by lhefigures * ' 5 i "; and if the jury believed that to be fte case , they weuld return a . verdict far the plaintiff . The jury , after a short consultation , found for the plaintiff , 4 a * nases 30 s ., hosed on the calculation that the platitiff had been underpaid 3 s . a week for the 10 weeks be was iu the service of Messrs . Clarke .

VISIT TO THE CHARTIST ESTATE . Lot the residents in the murky dens of the manufacturing towns , and the occupants of the Slthy garrets of the Great Metropolis , follow us to this truly delightful spot , the first fruits of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society . If health , happiness and comfort be an object , it maybe enjoyed in this beautiful place . Talk sf town life , with It * bilious complaints , bad appetites , &c . —surely , the fortunate shareholders on this estate may escape all these without the aid of Holloway ' s pills . But Jest the Chartist body should remain in doubt , perhaps it woild be better to enter more minutely into detail whilst . descriWnsj the first portion of the Working man ' s land of promise .
On Sunday morning , April 26 , Thos . M . Wheeler of London , Henry Callingham of Hammersmith , Walter Thorn of Birmingham , and George White of Bradford , set off to visit the Chartist estate at Herjingsgate near Ri lanansworth , ' Herts . The road lay through Tyburn-gate , Bayswater , Uanwell , and TJx-J bridge , to Denham Park , a better road need not be required , and from Denham Park to the estate equals the avenne 3 * of the most aristocratic entrances of the proudest nobleman ' s seat . For more than a mile , in a straight line , the road is enclosed on each side by lofty trees . We then proceeded along beautiful green lanes , and passed scores of acres of cultivated
watercress . On arriving at onr destination , we met a farmlabourer , who turned out to be the bailiff in charge oi the property ; he immediately volunteered to escort ns to the farm-house , and great was our surprise to find that the people ' s estate was in every respect equal , if it did not surpass , those which surround it . The bailiff informed us that the propertv tos purchased by a gentleman in London , meaning Mr . F . 0 ConHor , and belonged to a number of working n : ea . \ Vg WfirG Ufihprpfl int n n ennrr nm , lni , M » . 11-r — " — —— wwhi ^ fanuui xu me

From the window ¦ we bad a view of one part of the estate , aud from the numerous trees wliich are to be seen in all directions , it may be well imagined to be a pleasin " prospect . After concluding oar repast , we resolved to have a Ion ? ramble , and set off , accompanied by Mr . Ellis , in the direction of the wood which stands on a gentle slope ou the top of the estate .
We passed some wheat fields which looked exceedingly well . We next overhauled the plan of tlie estate to ascertain whether the reality agreed with the drawing . We found everything exactly as doscribed , and were thus enabled to name each field as ne passed it . Our ramble through the wood was ja ^ ner a rough oue , there being so much underwood and the ground being wetfrqm theiate Leavr rains

Durinff our ramble , the worthy bailiffcontributed much to our knowledge by his exp lanations ; ' On arriving at a field where turnips had been grown last year , he said that it was famous land , and that they bad turnips off it as large as tea-kettles . He also stated that the gentlemen in the neighbourhood were sadly vexed that they had not purchased the property . In his own
words" they be fit to chaw their fingers . " After spending five hours on the land of freedom , we took our departure , and returned to London , well pleased with our journey . If any one doubts this description , let him go and see for himself . Iu addition to the description already given , it may be added that there is a spacious barn near the farmhouse , in good repair and having an excellent oaken floor . It will make a capital ball-room for those who go to visit the people's estate in the summer . Taking it for all in all , the members of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society may congratulate themselves on being the proprietors of such a lovely spot . May the factory slaves have the wisdom to fellow their example . .

On Saturday night , a few minutes before nine o'clock , the neighbourhood of Drury-lane was thrown into consternation by the report of another act of attempted assassination . It appears from information obtained by the reporter from those who were witnesses of the diabolical deed , that about ten minutes before nine o ' clock a lithographic printer , named Blewett , residing at No . 18 , 'White Hart-yard , Drury-lane , was returning home from his employment , and walking down Drury-lane frem the direction of Great Queen-street , towards Princes-street , On his arrival near Morgan's dining-rooms , at the corner of Princesstreet , he was shot , A man named Samuel Sandered , who was drinking outside the public-house exactly opposite , hearing the report , ran across the road , and
succeeded in catching Blewett in his arms as he was staggering . He exclaimed , " Oh , I am shot ; " and the blood was seen issuing from the front of his shirt . At this moment the youth who had fired took to his heels in the direction of Great Queen-street , pursued by police-constable Dunsford , 83 F . The wounded man was conveyed to the shop of a surgeon , Id Brory-lane , where , on opening bis shirt , it was discovered that he had received a bullet wound in the left breast . He wag conveyed to King ' s College Hospital , where , on being examined by Mr . Walker , the house surgeon , it was ascertained that the ball had entered the left breast , and passed oat at the right . He is also of opinion that the wound is mortal . Immediately information was forwarded relative to the sad occurrence to the wife of Blewett . He was at this time able to speak , and stated that he was wholly unconscious of who had shot him , aud that he had not had the slightest quarrel with any person .
Dussford , the police-constable , continued his pursuit without losing sight of the accused until he arrived in Little Queen-street ( singularly enough the place where the murderer Wicks was captured ) , and where he took the prisoner into rastody . On the accused being taken into custody by the constable he still had the pistol in his hand with which he had committed , the act , and on being searched a powder flask , containing a considerable quantity of powder , and a number of bullets were found on his person . He trembled very violently and was quite out of breath from running , bat as ^ soon as he recovered himself he exclaimed ia Dunsford thai it was an accident . ' On his arrival at the Bow-street station the prisoner was placed within the bar until Mr . Superintendent Fierce , who was at Covent-garden Theatre at the moment , was sent for . During : this interval he trembled exceedingly , and frequently buried his face in his hands . The accused is of exceedingly juvenile appearance , with daric hair , sallow complexion , and rather long features . He was attired in a most respectable manner .
The charge was entered , and , on being interrogated by the inspector , he said in a tremulous voice : My name is John Bra £ am ; I was fifteen years old last January . I reside at No . 31 , Harrison-street , Gray ' s Inn-road , and am clerk to Mr . Humby , a solicitor , No . 8 Regent-street ; 1 mean Loiter Regent-street , near Waterloo-crescent . Inspector Black : Tou are charged with shooting a man in Drury-lane , with a pistol . The prisoner : It was quite an accident . « .- ¦ Tne accused was then removed . On the prisoner ' s person was found £ 2 in gold , and about Us . or 15 s . in silver . The wounded man is described as au extremely fine , tall man . From all that has transpired on the subject , it is believed that both individuals were strange to each other , which is confirmed by the fact that ( he wounded man , when asked , bad no idea fer whom the shot was fired .
FURTHER PARTICULARS . The officer selected for the purpose of visiting the residence of the accused , No . 1 , Harrison-street , Gray ' sinnroad , was police-serjeant Pocoek , of the F division . On his arrival at the house , he found that Braham ' g father is a grocer in a mest respectable way of business , Baring lived in the neighbourhood and being the owner of considerable property there for many years . On makinp ilr . Braham acquainted with the position his son was in he expressed no considerable surprise at it , and adden that it w . is what they expected , for they never could stop his taste for fire-arms . On proceeding to the accused '? bed-room , on the three-pair back , he searched it , and
found two guns , a shot bag containing a quantity of shots , a powder flask full of powder , a box containing a quantity of bullets , a bullet mould , and several pieces of metal for making bullets . He also found a small cannon , and a canister which had ] contained powder , but which was empty . There wer-jalso . screw-drivers and a . number of other instruments used for removing locks , < fec , from fire-arms . He aho found in the accused ' s box a book , called " Statham's First Steps in Chemistry , " useful , as an iHstrncter in experiments to youth of both sexes . The father of the accused accompanied Focock to the station . He identified the pistol as belonging to his son , but was not permitted to see him . .
From the moment when the unfortunate man Blewett was taken into the King ' s College Hospital all hopes of his surviving were given over . At an " early hour Mr . Ferguson was called into consultation , and gave the best professional assistance , which was however too late . It was impossible , from the condition of the patient , to probe the wound , although from the direction of the . wound it appeared that the bullet having entered through the right mamma , had passed through the right lobe of the Jungs , and came out behind the clavicle , having probably wounded one or more of the branches of-the Jesting pulmonary arteries . In the course of the : night . he suffered much , but in the early part of the morning bjs pains materially lessened , and be expressed tOsiis wife
his opinion that he would yet survive . She was . in - cessant in her attentions to him during the . whole ofi'the : day , and he was visited by his daughter , - a child -seven years of age . On marrying his wife he became a Catholic , and on his admission to King ' s College Hospital ,, immediately requested the presence of a priest , and was visited by the Kev . Mr . Coyne , LiBcoln's Inn-fields ; jrhp was that night and yesterday very attentive "in-. the " discharge of his religious duties . Throughout yesterday a great number of members of his trade , that of a / : lith 6 ? graphic printer , called at the hospital to make inquiries , and amongst others the Secretary to the Society of Lithographic Printers , to administer to his wants , or , thoselof the unhappy wife . At nine o'clock the unfortunate victim was still living , but life seemed drawing ; to iteel 6 je : . ' "• ¦' = '¦

Ho turned up great Queenstreet , and crossed to the left hand side of the street , and ran so fast ' that it took my greatest j ^ ace ' to catch him . I . caught him at the print shop , at the corner of little Queen-street , I said to him , do you know what you have done ! He said " Have I harmed anybody ! " I replied , No matter , you must go with me . I then saw that he was moving the pistol from one pocket to the other . I saidwhat have you got there ? at the same

SOUTHWARK . " Attempt at Rape . —On Monday Robert Eyre , a tall , powerful-looking man , was brought before Mr . Cottiugham , charged with attempting to violate the person of Eliza Goreen , alittlegiri , eleven years of age , the daugh : of respectable parents residing iu Park-street , y St . Saviour ' s . Th » complainant having answered satisfactorily as to her knowledge of the nature and obligation of an oath , was then sworn , and from her statement it appeared , that on Saturday evening about seven o ' clock , she was in care of the house of a Mrs . Edmonds , a neighbour of her mother ' s . While thera the prisoner called , and havisg inquired for Mrs . Edmonds , he was told that she was not at home , but he said that he should wait until berreturn . He then followed the complainant into the parlour , and sat down , and laying bis head upon the table , pretended to fall asleep . In a short time , however , he rose up , and taking a knife out ofthe table drawer , he approaehed the chair ou which the complainant was
sitting , ' and pulling out his Iiandkercuitf placed it over her mouth , and then threatened to run-the knife into her if she called out « r made any noise . After this , he then proceeded to act towards the child Id a most disgusting manner , and continued so for some time , she being fearful of calling out or making any alarm , under the apprehension that he would carry his threat of using the knife iuto execution . She however entreated him to desist , saying that hermother , or Mrs . Edmonds would be in immediately , and he then let her go , and she rushed out of thd house , and wentheme to her mother , to whom she instantly communicated the treatment she had experienced from the priionsr , who followed closely after her . The prisoner , when asked what he bad to say in answer to the charge , merely ejaculated that it watt all false , and that he neither used a knife nor handkerchief , as asserted . Mr . Cottingham said that he believed every word of the little girl's evidence , to whom the prisoner , a giant in appearanoe , and advanced in years , had behaved in the most scandalous manner . It was fortunate for him
the child escaped his brutality before he had completed an act which would have placed him in a more critical position than he was at present . The magistrate added that the case was of too serious a nature for him to dispose of summarily , and that he should therefore commit the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal Court , Robber's by a . HosfiTAL Patient . —On Tuesday Thomas Swainson was brought before Mr . Cottingham for re-examination , charged with stealing a watch , and a quantity of wearing apparel from some of the patients in Guy ' s Hospital . It appeared that the prisoner was admitted as a patient into the above hospital , about four months ago , and when he became nearly well , he ingratiated hiiuself into the good opinions of several of his fellow-patients who were all labouring under the affliction of loss of sight . He availed' himself of the opportuniteg thus created , and in the . first instance he procured the papers of a poor fellow , a pensioner belonging to the merchant seamen ' s service , and without bis knowledge or
sanction endeavoured to obtain his quarterly pension . He next took a watch from a lad in the same wards and having also taken various articles of clothing from other patients , he absconded , and haringgot rid of the property , he expended the proceeds , in dissipation . It appeared that the excesses into which he had plunged when he got the money had such an affect upon bis health that be was compelled to apply for . admission again into an hospital , but he took care that it should not be Guy ' s but St . Thomas ' s . Here he was discovered soon after his admission , and taken into custedy . In the course of tne examination it was stated by a policeman that the prisoner had been for sometime past supporting a woman at the west end of the town , and that he had promised her marriage , which was to have taken place had not the discovery of his dishonest acts towards his fellow patients taken place . It was further stated that the prisoner belonged to a very respectable family in' Scotland , by whom he was encouraged long since to leave London and return to them . The magistrate committed the prisoner for trial .
MARYLEBONE . Shocking , Cruelty to a Child . —Ou Monday , Joseph Eales and Elizabeth Dales , the former a railway porter , ' were brought before Mr . Rawlinson ou the charge of having ill-treated their child , Hannah Eales , eleven years of age . An application respecting the case was made on the 1 st inst . to the magistrate by Clarke , 85 S , who produced a certificate from Mr . Curtis , a surgeon , which ' set forth that he bad examined the poor child , who appeared to him to have been dreadfully beaten and nearly starved ; he ( the officer ) also said that the child had been removed to the St . Paneras Infirmary , and that some time would probably elapse ere she would be sufficiently recovered to come to the court . Hannah Eales , wbo looked extremely
thin and weak , was sworn ; and she said that the lived with her parents , who had four other children , at No . 27 , Ferdinand-place , Hampstead-road ; ghe gave her evidence with such ; reluctance , as to induce a belief that she had previously been tutored as to what she should say , and all . that could be elicited from her was , that she was sometimes kept short of food , and beaten by her mother whenever she did anything wrong . The answer to the charge was a denial of any cruel behaviour ; the mother said that the child had for some time past bsen living with her grandfather iu the country , aud haduot many months been at home ; she had always a sufficiency of food , and was only beaten when she told untruths . The male prisoner was ordered to put in bail for bis and his wife ' s attendance on a , future day .
WORSHIP-STREET . . , ; A Beastly Eascal . — On . Monday a man ab » nt 30 years of age , named Joseph Rosier , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , charged with indecently exposing bis person to a married woman named Caroline Smith , the wife of a painter and glazier iu Dsvonshire . street , Globe-road , Mile-end . The complainant stated , that while proceeding to her own residence , through a rural lane leading from Victoria-park to Hackney , at eleven o ' clock that morning , she passed tlie prisoner , who was standing still on one of the park brid ges ; but had only gone on about a hundred and fifty yards further when he overtook her , passed her two or three yards , suddenly stopped , and , without uttering a word , deliberately perpetrated the offence he was charged with . She called
him a scoundrel and threatened to give him into custody , on which the prisoner mumbled out something she could not understand , and , not stopping to offer an explanation , ran eff as fast as he could . She pursued him as far as the house of a lady of . her acquaintance , on reaching which she nearly fainted , and while afterwards deliberating whether to inform the police of the man ' s infamous conduct , the prisoner returned , re-passed the bouse , and again proceeded in the direction- of the park . By the advice of her friuud she informed the first policeman who camo up , and the prisoner was pursued and taken into custody .

tier evidence , and that the action imputed to him was one of which lie should scorn the perpetration , but he unfortunately had no witnesses who could confirm his innocence . Mr . Brouchton , who had closely and repeat , edly questioned the witness , having expressed his entire tinprobation both of tlie manncv in which the eoinplainant had given her evidence and the decided course she had adopted to insure the prisoner's punishment , for u'liicli the public were much indebted to her , said it was impossible for him to entertain a doubt of the commission of the oflVneo upon such testimony ; and though a conviction was of serious importance to tlie prisoner , : is lixinjr liim with a peculiar character which ho might never be able to rid himself of by years of after conduct , it was his duty to declare the offence proved , and to sentence Ilira to Undergo tiu * e « months' iniprieoument cmd

Wednesday ; two athletic young men , named John Hurlock and William Fleming , were placed at tb » bar before Mr . Broiigbtdn , charged with having assaulted and wounded police-constable Walter White , of the G divition , whereby his life , had been seriously endangered . Shortly before one o ' clock on the morning of the 22 d in 3 tant , the eomplainant was called to suppress a disturbance in a public-bouse , in HoJywelHane , Shoreditcb , and on enterng the house ,
found a tumultuous mob assembled in front of the bar , amongst whom were the two prisoners . The instant he endeavoured to separate the assemblage and get them out of the house , he was attacked by the prisoners , and fcnockeel down several times in rapid sucoession , but ultimately succeeded , with the exertions of the landlord , in forcingthem into the street ; on reaching which , however , they renewed the attack , and threw him heavily upon the pavement . ¦ On recovering his feet he was again felled to the ground by the prisoner Hurlock , who threw himself upon him as he lay upon the pavement , and , fastening his teeth into . the lower , part of the constable ' s face , bit a piece completely out of his cheek . His staff had been previously wrested from him by one of the mob , and both the prisoners having kicked him in the most malicious mnnperi atarted pff > leaving the officer , in a state of insensibility : They were instantly pursued by two tradesmen , but after following them a short
distance , the prisoner Fleming suddenly turned roundand struck one of his pursuers such a violent blow in the face | that he was compelled to desist from further In terference , and the other witness only escaped similar ll-usage , by pretending that he was one of the same party endeavouring to elude the police . He was accordingly , under this supposition , allowed to proceed with them nearly half a mile further , when he fortunately met two constables , and gave the prisoners into custody , Mr . Broughton ordered the prisoner Hurlock to pay the full amount of penalty it was in his power to inflict , namely £ 5 , or in default of so doing , to undergo two months' imprisonment and hard labour iu the HoH 8 e of Correetion ; and the prisoner Fleming , whose conduct had been less culpable , to pay a penalty of 60 s ., or in default , six weeks imprisonment and' hard labour . Neither of the penalties was paid , and ' ¦ the prisoners committed accordingly . ¦

Dkath of _ a Gentleman" in an Omnibus ., —Oa Monday evening ; Mr . W- Pay ?* held an Inquestat the White Bear , King William-street ; Londonbridge , oh the body of Mr . Frederick Edgell , ' aged fifty-one years , a gentleman residing at Wandsworth . Thomas Gregson , conductor of one of the' Clapham omnibuses , deposed , that on Tuesday night lasfc ^ about eleven o ' clock , whilst standing in front , of the Cross Keys Tavern , Gracechurch-street , the deceased entered witness ' s omnibus , in which were' several other gentlemen . ' The vehicle proceeded as far as the Monument in King William-street , when witness
was alarmed by the passengers calling for help , as one of the gentlemen had been taken ill . Witness and the driver assisted the deceased to the surgery of Mr . Fuller , who opened a vein in the arm , but'life was then quite extinct . He was searched , and on his person were found a £ 5 note and three sovereigns in cold , Mr . Hugh Fuller , of No . 53 , King Williamstreet , surgeon , said that when he h ' st saw the deceased he was quite dead . His eyes were contracted and the features very palid . Other evidence having been adduced , the jury returned a verdict of " Na ^ tural death . "
Death or a Father aud Son bt Suffocation . — A . very afflicting accident , but one unfortunately of frequent occurence , took place last week in the works of Messrs . Bagnall , Toll . End , near Wolverhampton , by which a father and son lost their lives , ' It appears that on Saturday morning , Thomas Onions , one of the men engaged in the works , went into a pit through which the pipes that supply the works with gas empty themselves , for the ' purpdse of pulling out the plugs arid letting out the water . In so doing a great quantity of gas rushed out , and the unfortunate man fell down nearly suffocated . Not returning out of the pit , which was only three dr four feet deep , the son hastened to his father ' s assistance , when he too was overcome with the gas , and fell down senseless . The young man was drawn out
a few minutes afterwards , but ne was quite dead , The father , who was lying in the pit a considerable time longer , was not dead when taken out , and hopes were entertained of his recovery , but he survived only till the following day ( Sunday ) , when he expired . Inquests were , held on the bodies before George Hincliliffe , Esq . ; coroner , when , it appearing that no blame coula be attached to any one , the father having the care of the pipes for many years , verdicts ef " 'Accidental death " were returned . Sudden Deaths ;—On Tuesday Mr . Baker held two inquests , one at the Star and Garter , Arboursquare , Stepney , and the other at the London Hospital , on the bodies of Henry Ephr&im Hubble , aged thirty-one , and George Marshall , aged fifty . It appeared in the first case , that Hubble was landlord of the Star and Garter . 'Several years ago , while in Calcutta , he had an attack of insanity caused by excessive drinking . On Easter Monday the police
cleared his house , and turned the gas off . ' The deceased complained of it and appeared to be very much excited . On Friday evening he went to bed asusual , and shortly afterwards got up and ran down stairs into the street with nothing on but his shirt and drawers . lie was brought back , and he died a few hours afterwards . There had been a summons out against him for keeping his house open , after twelve o ' clock on Sunday nights . This also excited the deceased , who thought himself ill-used by the police , and had often complained of their conduct . The jury returned a verdict of" Died by the visitation of God . " —In the second case it appeared that the deceased , Marshall , was seen to pass down North-street , Stepney , on Sunday , evening . Suddenly he , staggered and would have fallen to the ground had not a man caught him in his arms as he was passing by » He was conveyed to the London Hospital , but died before he reached there . 'Verdict of " Natural death " wasrecorded .
¦ Extraordinary Case of Manslaughter . — . An affray of a fatal and extraordinary , character has occupied the attention of the magistrates and coroner of Ramseate during the last few davs . The facts elicited by them went to show that on Wednesday last a large number of the inhabitants ot the neighbouring villages congregated in Margate to celehrate the festival of a benevolent society , in the TivoU Gardens . Amongst them was a man named James Sutton , reported to be respectably connected , who , towards niffht , attracted attention by his boisterqua condurt . It appears that after the evening ' s amusei merit he left his brother ' s company , and nothing was heard of him until midnisht , when two men , named Kemp and Kitching , on their return home from the enrdens , while proceeding along a- footpath Jeadintr to
Hartsdown , an adjacent parish , saw a man some distance in advance , calling " Holloa ! " On eominsr up they found it to be John Price , a oarrier ; livine at Rtjncorn . Price said , in a very exoited manner , " Hero is a man who has been attempting to rob me . and I will not leave him until I see who he is . ?' A few yards distant tliev saw a man lying on the ground , who seemed senseless * who was discovered to lie Sutton . Price then ohargpd Sutton with attempting to rob him . His statement to the inspector on duty was ag follows : — "On Wednesday night , about half-past ten , ' I was going home from : theTivoli , and when balf way betwetn that place and Hartsdown , Sutton jumped out of the hedge by the fostpath , and demanded of me , catching me by the collar , if 1 had a watch . I saidl had . He asked
if I had any money . I said I had . He then caught hold of me by the neckerchief , and said he must have iior . my life * We struggled together , and . I slipped up my hand and untied my neckerchief . He then knocked me down twice , and kicked me . I at length got the better of him , and got him down . Istruck him several times violently on the head , calling out for assistance , and' sitting across him to keep him down . Kemp was the first who came to my assistance ; we were struggling for three-quarters of an hour I was sober and alone . I did notknow the man . ' " The man Sutton being apparently dying , medical aid was promptly called to him . but he never rallied , and expired in the course of a few hours . On the magistrates hearing of the death , they . ordered Price to be arrested , but subsequently liberated him
on bail- On the inspector inspecting th « spot where the affray occurred , he noticed a quantity of blood on the ground , and marks of a very _ violent struggle ; and in the ground was a hole , evidently made by a man ' s head beaten against it , and in the centre were two small stones stickin g up about an inch . At the coroner ' s inquest , Mr . Thornton , a surgeon who . had made a post mortem examination of the body , deposed that death had been caused by concussion of tlie brain , and which might have been produced by beating the head upon the ground . The bead was dreadfully knocked about , the eye blackened and lip cut , and marks on the throat a . s if seized by the neclterchief and a man ' s knuckles forced into the nVsli . It was proved that the deceased and Price were perfect strangers . Tlie deceased ' s relatives spoke to his being a quiet orderly nian , and called tiro police to show that they knew nothing of him , at least in the shape of a highway robber . Tho . coroner's jury , after returned verdict of
a lengthened consultation , a " Manslaughter" against Price , considering the violence more than necessary , and he was forthwith ordered into custody by the coroner , and committed to Maidstone eaol to take his trial atthencxtsspizeg Outrage at Birkeniiead . —An outraceof a very serious nature took place on Monday at BirkonliGad . A { Mr . M'Leod , a contractor in tlie formation of the docks at RivUcnbead , seems to have given some offence to thenaviesemployed iinder him ; anrl suspecting that be was secreted at Mr . Watson ' s ( late La French's ) , a mob of them surrounded the , house , and insisted upon searching it , swearing that if they found him they would murder him , He was not there , however , hut tlicy found him at length , and inflicted serious injuries" upon him . Mr . M'Lood ' s bouse , up to the hour at which we write , is gtinrdpd bv the police ; but we understand he has left it , and returned to his family .

SMITHFIBLD , Amongst the importations of live stock ; which have taken place into London during the past week > we have to notice the first arrival of a small cargo of beasts from Prussia .

' Newcastle Coin Mabxet , Tuesdat . '—Our market was well supplied with wheat to-day , both from the farmers and coastwise , but the attendance of buyers being small , we experienced a dull trade , at similar rates to last Saturday . ' For barley , tie trade proved extremely limited , as a great number of our maltsters are stocked for the season , and to transact business lower prices must have been submitted to for ' all except the choicest quality . In white peas we had little or nothing passing . Rye scarcely maintained its value . Oats and other grain remained without any material alteratien .
Liverpool Cobn Markst , Mondat . —Easterly winds have kept back supplies of grain , < fcc , from Ireland , and the arrivals since last Tusaday . are very small . The quantities of foreign produce are likewise limited tbis week . AU descriptions of Wheat have been held firmly for the full prices of Tuesday . la » t , but , the millers . and dealers haveat . the same time restricted their purchases within the limits of their immediate wants , and the busi . ness of the week in that-grain has been , of a limited amount . Flour , lias . met . a moderate demand withont
change of value . .. Scarcity has : given a . little enhancement to the value of oats ; a few of fine mealing quality have brought 3 s . 9 d . to 3 s . 9 | d . per 45 lbs . . Oatmeal hag met a fair snle , at fully previous rates , Bay 83 s . to 34 s . pep 240 lbs . for the . best old and new . Tho transaction * in barley , beans , and pease , have been in retail only , with , out alteration in valuu . A good demand has been eiperieaced for Indian eorn during the week , principally for shipment , to . . Ireland , and . prices , have improved a little .

STATE OF TRADE . Leeds . —There was considerable improvement in business at the Cloth Halls , both on Saturday and Tuesday the latter day more goods were sold than' on any market day during the last two months , Prices ' continite pretty steady , and the stocks on band are below the usual quantity at this season . Trade has also been more lively in the warehouses this week than for some weeks past . ' A number of drapers from the country and from Ireland have visited the town , and some Americans have also been here during the week , Altogether the prospect is better than might have been expected a Uw weeks ago . —Leeds Mercury .
, Ma « che 8 teb , Friday Evening . —We have had ratherlees . doing in cloth' this week : and this ' has been more decidedly the ease to-day than yesterday or Wednesday . There is , however , a strong disposition on the part of buyerito do business at a small advauee oh th » lowest prices , but the manufacturers being firm in their demtnds prevents any thing on an extensive scale being done . Yarns scarcely so buoyant as oh Tuesday , but not lower . ' ' ¦ - . Bbadforb , Tfcursday . —There is no disposition to buy any kind of wools except . on the limited scale we have observed for soma time past . no alteration in price . Theimprovement in the demand for jams , noted in our report of last week , is fully developed to-day , as the buyersare disposed to purchase for distant delivery , to which the spiuners are not ready to accede , as the price now current must undergo a great advance before they can
realise prime cost : but as long as wool maintains itspresent disproportionate price to yarns , ¦ there is little hope of the large quantity of totally idle machinery being put to work to relieve our distressed peratives . Dur . ing the week and to-day more business has been done in all kinds of dregs goods suitable for autumn , and afeellng ^ is gaining ground that we shall continue to improve . The delay in the Government- measure affecting the Corn-laws , has no doubt tended to retard the progress of the merchants , particularly the export houses . The absence from tho market of a rather extensive buyer noted in our last , turns out mere unfavourable than wa » expected , and considerable embarrassment is felt among the smaller manufacturers , ' several-of whom have already had to jield to the loss they will sustain , and many once respectable men will he completely ruined , and necessarily involve increased temporary distress among top operatives in the villages where they reside , .
Halifax , —There is no improvement in this market , in either wool or manufactured goods . 'Prices are with ' out material alteration since our last . In . the wool trade , middle hogs are quoted at £ 12 15 s ., " and middle wethers £ 12 per pack , common noils and broke , together , fetch about £ 10 7 s . 6 d . .. ' .. ¦' Huddebspiblb . — There has been \ a slight improvement in the amount of business , done : to-day ,, and mom especially in the various descriptions of go « d » that suit the American market . As this is the season when our transaltauic customers come over to make their purchases , we have remarked a considerable number of American buyers in thetowa , and these with several ef the large London UuyerB being also down ,. there has been more doing in the warehouses during this and the last week than what we have notieed for some time
previous . -. Rochdale Flankel Maiiket— The market this week has been quite equal to that of the preceding Monday . There lias been a fair demand for goods , and a govern * ment order for 7 , 000 flannels , which was dividod last week amongst six manufacturers , has given a little stimulus to business . The wool market was rather quier , and the transactions limited . ' ¦ ¦¦ . ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ :- ¦ : ¦¦ KoiTiNGHAH . —The wrought cotton ihoBe branch has retrograded , but not to the ; extent of , being much , felt . The spring has arrived , when , in former times , at this season , stockingers as well as " workmen were atapremium . Tke cut-up or rather slop-hose trade is pretty good , though one branch , namely , the half l-. ose seVragefooted hose , is in a state of agitation agaiust % master stockinger , at . Snenton , who , from circumstances ,. has
been induced to stop his frames . This has been construed by hisworkmen to be with a view to a reductien of , wages . Both the hosiers and journeymen have united to reduce his profits ,, though , by the aid of machinery , he has . beea enabled t <> make as good hose , three at once , as is in general made one at once . Several workmen have been committed to Southwell under the Intimid&tiftn Act , aa every species of annoyance had been resorted to to induce the master to succumb and take on the refractory men again . The drawer branch continues a shade better ., The glove trade keeps pretty good . The fancy . lace- trade is considered worae than ever , though th « re are some exceptions where machines are yet worked to a profit . The plain trade , though both low in wages . and profits , is much better than the fancy trade . Invention and improvement seem to he nearly abandoned , The warp lace trade is in a most depressed condition .
Leicester . —Several home buyers have been in our market this week , and have bought cautiously ; manufactured stocks in'hand are light ; and there is wo inten . tion to produce by the makers what is likely to be wanted . Some American orders have been received , and purchasers are now in the mnrket for- goods suitable ft * the full demand , but the uncertainty existing with respect to the Oregon question induces them to conclude their purchases quickly , leaving no time for anything to be manufactured on speculation . Wools remain the same , and worsted yarns aro more in demand .
GtasGow , Friday . —Cotton Yarn ;— -The market has exhibited some animation for all Nos . of shipping yarns , from 40 s . downwards , and prices may be quoted J to i higher , but yarns for home consumption are still in limited demand and prices unsteady , —Cotion Goods ' : We Cannot l'eporl any improvement in the mnrket this week . Business , generally spenkiug , is fav from bting brisk , or , indeed , what we usually expect at this season of tho year . Prices for most descriptions may be said to be nominal , and , in general , there is not much inquiry . —Iron : — Prices are as undernoted : —Pig iron £ 3 10 s . per ton ; bar h-pn , £ 10 per ton ; nail rods , £ 11 per ton ; boiler
plates aud sheists , £ 1310 s . per ton . —American Produce : Sweet barrel flour , best brands , 32 a . Cd . nt'tt per barrel ; s « ur ditto , 82 s . Cd . nett per barrel ; 1 st .

The price of barrel flour is firm , and rather on tlu « advance . A large proportion of the stock is now bonded , and con umci' 4 have not much on baud , buci oninn to the uncertainty of tlie new Corn BM 1 they will buy only sparingly .
