She saw the prisoner , and told him she had hud a little loss . He told her " I kaow it—it ' s linen . " Witness told him it was not , it was money , amounting to 27 s . The prisoner then told her that if she could afford tocive him 10 s . he wuM
show her the person who hid taken it reflected in a glas « . The next day she tvent to his house and agajn saw the prisoner , who asked her if she had got the 10 s . She said "Yes- " and he then told her to put tho money on what she considered to be a funeral pall . She put it there , and he ttatn ordered her out of the room . In two or three minutes the p risoner called witntsB back into the r .-om and a * fc « l her if she knew the party who kad taken tl : e money . >¦ Witnrss told Mm " » o ; " and he t&entookup three knives which were in the room , and pretended that he had cut his hand with one . He then took a glass from under the funeral pall , and putting a candle before it . asked witness if that was not theperf cm . Witness looked at the glass , andjsaw the head of a female in it ; but she tuld him she could swear to nobody .
The prisoner then asked witness if she did not know the wretch , and told her Mr . Jones could do no more—Mr . Jones never told a lie , and shaking witness by the hand , he further said she should have her money asjain on the following day . Witness had subsequently told her master about it , who told her to take out the war . rant Witness had never had the money back . —A youag woman who bad accompanied the last witness to the prigoner ' shouse eorroborated her evidence . When ho showed her the glass , he asked if she did not see the beautiful creature who had taken the money . Heard tLe prisoner tell Anting to go home , and make herself quite satisfied ; tfeat she would have her money returned to her at twelve o ' clock at night , lhat she would see his apparition , and that she must not be frightened of a spirit . He also told
them tbathe had sold himself to the Devil , that he had nineteen years more to serve , and then be should be gone . TThile they were out of the room , they heard him say three timei in an angry tone , and with an oath , "How long yon are before you come . " Witness thought he was calling the person he promised to show them . —Police man T 185 deposed to apprehending tho prisoner on the warrant In the room in which the prisoner was he fonnd the cards produced in a circle on the flour . There was a smaller circle within the first one , and within that some mould , and in the mould were the cards , and a piece of burned Tag outside them . On the outside of the ritig was a new Testament , and on the top of it 4 glass egg cut . The prisoner , in answer to the charge , said he was ready to return the money . He had at a great expense learned the art under an eminent and learned pro . fessor , and had practised it for four years . He had al ? o learned the mystery of the cards , and practised palmistry
and the use of the planets , aud he was not before aware that he was liable to punishment unless he practised witchcraft . Mr . dive said , if the case had relied a one on the evidence of tho complainant , he would almost save doubted the prisoner had pretended to a . knowledge he could not possess , but that douht had been removed by the evidence of the second witness ; and even had it not , it would have been altogether removed by the prisoner's present line of defence . Hi 3 offence was a very serious one , and it appeared from the numerous letters found at his lodgings that he had been deceiving- several servant girls , inducing them to part with their very clothes off their backs ia order to pay hi . a fiir the information he pretended to give them . As the case before him nai a very bad one , and fully made aut by the evidence , he should commit the prisoner for three calendar months , with hard labour , and if he was again brought before him he would each time give him the same punishment .
GUILDHALL . A Mother neglected by her Soys —On Monday , Mr . Horace ! Meatyard , a barrister , residing in Chatham Place , and director of the Agricultural Cattle Insurance Company , was summoned before Aldermen Wood and Gibbs , for the purpose of obtaining an order from them to compel him to contribute towards the support of his mother , now a claimant on the parish . It appeared that Mr . Meatyaril ' s fathfr died , leaving a large family unprovided for . The defendant , Mr . Horao Meatyard , and his brother , Charles Meatyard , a surgfon . at Stafford , agreed to join together , and support their parent and brothers and sisters . The ductor . lt was asserted , was to support his mother , while defendant was to support the others . Since thea some differences had arisen
between the brothers , and neither would contribute towards the support of their parent , in consequence of which she wa « obliged to apply to the parish of Holy Cross and St . Giles ' s , Shropshire , and at the instance ot the parish officers there the present proceedings were taken . Alderman Wood observed that whatever differences the brothers might have , still there was » moral and natural obligation which * the defendant ought to comply with . The parish officers only asked 7 s . per week , and he thought it would be much better to confer with the parish officers , and come to some arrangement . The case was , however , entered into , but in consequence of the solicitor ' s clerk not being able to prove that Mr . l ! f"tynnl was la a position of life , and had the means of supporting his mother , it was dismissed .

LAMBETH . Alexander and John Murray , the one 13 and the other 15 years of age , were brought before Mr . Elliott for final examination on a charge of stealing two gold watches and one silver watch , the property of Mr . Fillmer , a pawnbroker in Krnnington Road . From the evidence it appeared that Alexander , the youngest prisoner , was in the service of Mr . FHItn -r , the prosecutor , as warehouse boy , and having access to the plate closet , gave the two gold watches , which were pledges , to his brother , and when apprehended , the silver watch , al > e a pledge , was found upon him .

The prisoner , after making " a considerable disturbance , left the house , but returned again at about half-past eleven , when he rang at the bell so violen'ly , and shook the iron rates so violently , as tv break the former , aBd very much
alarmed the whole of the inmates of Mr . Richards private dwelling , aud for this he gave him into custody . John Sarsbell was called ' . o corroborate the statement of the last witness . The prisoner charged this witness as being ktptatilarlboiough House by Mr . . Richard *! as a mere bully , and ! o coerce and browbeat tiie other paupers . He alsojsaid Sarchell , though a native of Hampshire , and having no claim whatever upon the city of London , was" kept as * a pauper for the ! las * t . vo years at the City expense . The prisoner also admitted that he himself had been in the same situation , but ) ia < J gone out to woik in tlu- course of the summer . Mr . Elliott observed , that there coulu be no doubt that the prisoner had conducted him ? elf in a most improper raamur , and contieted him in ilia penalty of 20 s ., or in default of payment , to 14 days' imprisonment .

Barry , whom he had always treated « s a friena . and upon whom he h » dbeen in the habit of lavishing large sums of money , in hmcheons , dinners , &c . Mr Wilton begged on h ' a own part to « ay , that hu had known Mr Wcllens . who had been a distingoished soldier and bore the hig hest testimonials and decorations , for many years , and though ho was somewhat excitable he believed that a more warm-hearted or kinder aian did not exist . Mr . Barry and Mr . Broadfont diiniid having struck tliecompliiinaut . Mr . Elliott observed that it waa quite clear tbata violent attack and very disgraceful outrage bad been committed ou the person of the Complainant . There could tc no rioubt also that Mr . Barry had taken a part in the assunlt , though not to the extent alleged , and under all the circumstances he advised the
parties lo retire and see If they could not arrange the matter . The patties retired , and the result was that Mr . Barry agreed to pay the complainant £ 3 , in addition to the £ 5 for his engagement , and the latter having accepted these terms the warrants were dismissed .

The constable was on duty at night in the Bethnal Green-road , when the defendant ' s wife came to him , bleeding from a wound on the head , which she said had been inflicted with a poker by her husband , who was at heme behaving like a madman . The witness took her to a surgeon to have the wound dressed , and then went with another constable to arrest the defendant , who had then taken out the window sash of hisbedr » om and threatened to throw the sash at them and smash them if they attempted t « approach him . The witness , however , entered at the street door . with the key which the wife had given him , and wag mounting the
stairs , wken the prisoner , then standing at the top of them , holding something behind him , swore that ha would shoot the first man who dared to come near him . The light of the police lantliern being turned upon him , however , it -was seen that he had not got firearms , but a poker , which he brandished about . The witness made a ru = U at him , but received a tremendous blow from the poker , which laid his head open , and felled him to the ground , and afterwards several other blows . The defendant , instead of attempting any defence , very readily condemned his own misconduct . * ' I am heartily sorry ( said he } for what has happened .

LEEDS . Tho room in the back of the Bazaar , has been crowded . tor . the last three Sunday evenings , by attentive audiences , to hear a very important discussion respecting the relative querists of " the Chartist Land Society and the Redemption Society . " Messrs . Brooks , Firth , Smithsons , Grainier , &c , have advocated the former society as better calculated to improve the condition of its members and society in general , while Messrs . Smith , Buckley , and others whose names are unknown to us , have advocated the •' claiiHS of tho Redemption Society . " The general objection against the Chartist Land Society urged hy its opponents i « , that it ia not safe—it is not enrolled , this has been brought forward when they have been driven from every oth « r point . The discussion , however , has been carried on in the best spirit , ai : d will be the means of doing a great deal of good . Mr . Brooks will resume the same subject tomorrow evening , at half-past 6 .
INAUGURATION OF THE CHARTIST AS-¦ ' SEMBLY AND READING ROOM , 83 , DEAN" STREET , SOUO . The above event was celebrated by a public soiree , on Monday evening , October the 12 th . A numerous aud highiy respectable assemblage of both sexes , sat down to an excellent tea , after which , Mr . Thomas Clarke , was unanimously called to the chair , supported on his right and left by Messrs . Ernest Jones , Julian Ikrney , and a galaxy of Chartist feminine beauty .
The Chaibman said , it gave him great pleasure to preside over such a . meeting . Institutions like this , were worthy the support of every Democrat , and he hoped thi * would meet with that support it so well mericcd . He held most sanguine expectations of its success , from the tale * t and energy engaged , in promoting its welfare , The Provinces , naturally looked up to London for examples , and he trusted in this respect they Wi . utd not be disappointed , but that the men of this metropolis would act in every way worthy of themselves , and that our great movement might thus bo propelled onwards , with more than railway celerity . ( Loud cheers , ) From the fine feeling now abroad , he had the most lively anticipations of yet living to see democracy triumphant .
( Much applause . ) If by our exertions areonly returned twelve good men and true , exponents of our views and wishes to the Commons house of Parliament , what an impetus would it not give to our cause , and be knew of no means better calculated to promote that object and democracy generally , than the openit . g ot Institutions similar to the present . ( Great applause . ) Every man , aye , and woman , joo ( liowever mean they might be in their own estimation ) , had a circle of their own , which they could influence , and it was their duty to use that influence , in forwarding the cause in which they were now engaged . ( Hear , hear . ) It might be said we had already pluntly of Mechanics' Institutions and reading rooms ; true we had several places bearing that
name , but they were not used by mechanics , but their benefits fell to the middle classes generally . This might in some measure be the fault of the working classes , however , here was an Institution peculiarly for them , and it , was their own fault if they did not enjoy all those rights and immunities it was so well calculated to confer . ( Loud cheers . ) A sum fa * less than that spent by too many in a far less reputable way , would carry it to a triumphant issue . ( Great cheering . ) He congratulated the working men of this country , that notwithstanding the oft repeated tyrannical stretches of power , and the stringency of the laws--, that
they had their little Ciiartist garrison in every town of importance throughout the country , ready to take advantage of every movement that might occur . ( Cheers . ) Doyle was now travelling through Scotland , promulgating the great truths of democracy , and himself and Mr . M'Grath were about to start south and west , and ere 1 . ng the country tvould be roused east , west , north and south , in favour of the " Rights of Man , " as recorded in the People ' s Charter—( Much applause )—and although a portion of the press might yet be silent , the voice of a united peopio should yet conduct to a triumphant issue . ( Immense applause . )
Mr . Ernest Jones then delivered . on eloquent and truly poetical address , which was much applaaded , Julian Harney also briefly addressed the meeting . Several song . s and recitations were then given by the Whitehorn family , and Messrs . Robbins , Stallwond , Ford , M'Lellan , Simmomls , and others . A ball concluded the entertainments of the evening .

PROGRESS OF THE KEIG 11 LEY ANTIWAGE LEAGUE . The contest betwixt the Leaguers and the men still continues in the * same state as before . Some emissaries have been employed scouring the neighbouring villages , spreading reports that the contest was finished , " with the intention of sending combers to apply for work at Keighley . Several parties thus duped came to dough ' s factory for wool , and succeeded in the following ' manner : —One fellow got a quantity packed up , and brought it to the top of the lane leading from the factory to the high road , and placed himself in readiness for a cart to carry the forbidden thing to his home in Haworth parish , a few miles cff . Many very tempting chances occurred of carts going in his direction ; but his appeals and proffers of pay were all in vain . 'Ihe carters declared to a man that they would not contaminate eithei fcheV carts or their hands with his
"blacksheep luggage , " and advised him to carry it back , again , which the fellow was at last compelled to do , to the very great satisfaction of tho bystanders . Another fellow , who hud a quantity packed up lor another direction , found himself in exactly the same predicament . Fortune , however , favoured him at last , by the appearance of a boy with a cart drawn by a jackass , and after a good deal , cf bargaining about the carriage of the article , it was nt last couveynd home . His next object was to find a place to wash it in . but jud ^ e of his surprise when every wash-house was shut up , the combers telling him , very candidly , that there was neither soap , water , fire , nor wash-houses , in that neighbourhood , for the washing of " black-sheep wool ; " and the fellow had to carry it back apain , a distance of some miles . It appears pretty evident , that the manufacturers have made a somewhat erroneous calculation , at the present time .
They seem to have imagined that every factory was a kind of plantation , with a number of workpeople in the same mental and bodily condition of the blacks in the Slave States , and that they ( the planters ) had an equal power over them ; we , however , trust that the workmen will convince them of their error , and prove to them before long that they will not only continue to unite for the protection of wages , but t ! : at they will extend their union for the attainment of every object to which their industry entitles them . As several deputations are now out in different parts of the country , it is again necessary to warn tho public against impostors , by cautioning them against giving their money to any but those who carry printed cards with the name of the secretary .

CORN EXCHANGE , Octobeu 12 . This morning there was a good show of wheat fresh up from Essex , Kent , nnd Suffolk , the general quality and condition of which was about the same as last week . The trade opened without much activity on tho part ut the millers , but a good progress was made in sales later in the day , at an advance of ls . per qr . from this day week . Foreign wheat remains steady iu value , and luis met to day rather a limited sale . Iu barley , both grind inc and other sort * , a pood business lias been done , at fully last week ' s rates . The sales of oats have proceeded only slowly , and , although held for Friday ' s quotations ,
tliey , iu some instances , have barely supported that day ' s rates . Beans wore dull of sale , and the turn cheaper . White pens , particularly if at all inferior , ls . cheaper . For blue peas the demand has considerably slackened , and , like white varieties , if sales were pressed , nould go at lower rates . In flour no alteration since last week . There lias been a somewhat more contracted demand fur most sorts of funding varieties , and , although , no alteration in quotations can be noted , on the wholo a very limited business has been effected . In seeds of any description there is no change from last week . Canary brings from 58 s . to ( iOs . for line quality , and clover seeds are heginitig to excite more attention .
SMITIIFIELD MARKET . The arrivals of eattle from the Continent into the port of London during the past week have been heavy , comprising 43 S oxen , ii'Jo eows , 70 calves , H , ) 81 sheep , 15 b lambs , and la pigs , giving a total of 4 , 198 head . The mai-ket opened very brisk this morning , and continued so throughout the day up to the h » ur of Us . closing , by which time an entire clenv&uce had been ttYueteil , as in several cases , much higher rates than last Monday were obtainable . Added to the readiness nf the butchers both town and country , to take stock freely , there was a sh » rt supply un the whule , both whiuh cu'cuinstanees gure finnness to the market . The supply of beef comprised 3 , 350 head of very tine eattle . being 'JOU less t' an on last Monday . The inquiry for this description of meat was very goi . d , and all sold at a rise of -d . per stone . Prime Scots realized 4 s , 4 d ., middling quality 4 s ., and inferior kinds
from : is . 4 d . The number of sheep on sale was particularly small , being from 8 , 01 ) 0 to 1 S . CUU under the supplies for many weeks past . The number which were returned this morning as having paid Ml was only i'S . , whereas the supplies lately have been from U' ) , i : UU to 400 , 0 ' ) 0 upon eucli Monday ' s market , there was in consequence a very brisk demand with a t ' urthcr rise in price of 4 il . per stone of last week ' s euiTencies . Prime old downs fetched as . 4 d ., h : slfbreds 5 s . and Polled sheup from 4 s . 4 d . per stone . It may be useful to observe that our stock of mutton is not " now equal tn the demand . Tho report * from the provincial fairs have shown that the stock ottered this year is much below the returns ut' former years . The fact is sufficient , without any other cause , to account for the late rise iu price's , aud the declining number of the week ' s sup ; ily . The trade for both veal and pork was very firm at previous euvreneies say from 4- » . to 5 s . for tha ftiptnni 1 - mid from 4 s . 4 d . to 5 s . 4 d . for thn lattnr .

STATE OF TRADE .
Leeds . —There have been very dull markets » t the Cloth-halls both on Saturday and Tuesday , nnd the ma . nufacturers complain heavily of the wantbf profit . Beavers , pilot cloths , and other heavy goods calculated for the home trade for the winter demand , are the principal articles selling , whilst goods for shipping are very dull of sale . Prices continue steady . Manchester , Friday Evening . —There has been only a moderate amount of transactions in cloth this week . The uncertainty that still seems to await the result of the cotton crop is calculated to paralyse the operations of both buyers and sellers . The only gratifying thing is the daily increasing orders for America , from which . quarter much is expected . Yarns are ready sale , at full prices . Bradford , Thursday . —There is no variation" in the wool market since our last . The demand is sluggish . Prices remain thesnme , as the staplers cannot replace their stocks for Ies « money . There is a fair demand for yarns , especially for export , and a shade higher price is obtnined . The spinners are mostly working to order . Owing to the wetness of tho day there was only a thin attendance of merchants , but an average business was done , especially in heavy goods for tho approaching season . Coloured Orleans and Paramattas are much in . quired for . Huddersfield , Tuesday . —The market to-day hns been about the average of the past few weeks . There is not much doing in either the cloth hall or the warehouses . Halifax , Saturday . —There has been a rather more numerous attendance of merchants here to day , but we are not prepared to say that any greater amount of business has been done in piece goods . The Yarn market is without any material change since our last report , and the wool trade continues very inactive , with less firmness in prices ; indeed , in some instances , a visible tendency tn crive ivjiv a triflf *
Rochdale Flannel Market . Monday . —We have had a fair avenige market to-dny , and prices are much the same as those on the preceding week . The demand for wool is limited , with little or no variation in price . Leicester . --There continues a good business doing by the country houses , but the nVmand for London is flat for the season , the shopkeepers for the present not having supplied themselves with their winter stocks . Yarns and wools remain stationary . Nottingham . —The wrought cotton hose branch , whether fine or coarse , is dull , as it generally is in the autumn months . The cut up hose frames are , in many in . stances , short of employment ; this applies almost equally to all the departments of the manufacture , from dandie * to s ; ilvsge heels and drop-off f . et . The drawer , panta . loon , and shirt branch , is kept in a tolerably active state by orders for the army . The silk glove tride . so impor . tant to Nottingham , is in much the same stats nt at our Inst report . The plain silk stocking trade , which is the sister branch , is , however , a shade better . The bobbin net trade is still but dull , nnd much depends upon the sales made at the present Leipsic fair . The cotton warp lace trade has improved , and seems likely to further amend , as many really good and cheap articles are made from tbis description of machinery , winch the public at length appreciate ; and will , in all probability , further pa . tronize . The silk warp lace is not in a worse condition than it hns been for some weeks past . Glasgow . —Cotton Yarn : Our market has been very quiet during Hie past week , although prices have been more on the advance than otherwise , especially on >" os , 90 to 12 W . —Cotton Goods : The market for general descrip . tions continues exceedingly flnt , and prices low . The ac . counts from the East by the pressent monthly mail ara still very unfavourable j the exchange has fallen consi . derably , but no advance on the price of g « . ods , and sales difficult , Well 9 t the low MlreMUnefating prices obtained , We hope , however , that the next mail will bring more cheering accounts , as the results of the opening of the present season will then be better known .

DREADFUL FIRE , AND LOSS OF LIFE . Lastnight ( Friday ) shortiyafter nine o ' clock , a fir # of a distrfssini : character brokeout upon the premises in tb . fi ' occupation of Mr . John Sharp , a printer and bookseller , Kent-atrect , St . George's , Southwark . From the inquiries made of Mr . Sharp , it appears that he has lately bien employed in mauuFactunnii fireworks , and it is supposed that the explosion ol some of the combustible materials used in that business caused the terrible disaster we are about to narrate . Whilst some of the neighbours were passing tlic buildingr , the major part ff the simp front was hurled into the street with fearful violence . It was . _ .., ~ . -n tm r nco / "IT ? T 1 FIT
then perceived that the shop and its contents were wrapped in one broad sheet of flame 3 . Several parties immediately rushed forth with buckets of water , which they discharged upon the burning mass At the same moment intelligence of the outbreak was dispatcned to the engine stations . Whilst however , the exertions of the parties were directed towards aavinj ; the premises , Mr . Sharp who had left the place barely five minutes , returned home , when Iiis attention was instantly attracted by hearinjr violent screams proceeding from some portion of the house . He forced his way as well as he was able through the dense mass of smoke that was issuing forth , and in tbe back parlour he found two o ( his children almost suffocated . After considerable trouble ho succeeded in getting tnem out , but not before one was terribly »» jured . Some considerable time was necessarily lost before that the fire tar
was accomplished , but as soon as was so got under as to enable any one to enter . Mr .
