It will be recollected that a spc2ial extraordinary Ybeatiog of the above company was held at Leeds on the 16th of Deeemhor last, when it was Darted to emit:Al:Cate with the Yorl lines, hut a question still remihied botweru the vhareholdt n th,mvelvis as to the prom tion of profits to be taken by the holders of prefer: nee stock, and commit• tees were appointed to arrange the matter in dispute. These committees, altar many meetings, have reported as follows : The resolution submitted to the &Mourned special meet ing of shareholders, held on Thursday, the 16th day of December, 165!, fur an amalgamation of this company and its undertoltiogs with the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and th e York and North Milland Railway Companies and their leaden ikines, and for the other purposes specified, was unanimously adopted, except as regards the scheme fur legalising future divirends. This dune was only . adopted subject to such alterations and modifications, in refer ence to the terms of division amongst the various classes of shareholder in this company, as a committee of pre ference and original shah holders (four of each) shall decide urn; and a committee was thereupon chosen. This cow soiree has hehl several eneetinr, but they have not been able to arrive at a unanira.y of views, or to agree upuu a modified proposition, which could be submitted to the sharehold. es with the united sanction of both sce•ioas of the committee It becomes, therefore, their duty to report to tale shareholders the ah ive result, in order that they may not be prevented from pursuing any course whirh they may deem advisable under these circumstances. The committee wool I have deferred mekinx their report until the general meeting, weieh will be held hefure the expiration of the eurr-nt month; bat, inasmuch as the parliamentary agents of thia com;may have, upon inquiry, stated their opinion (hot the second resting of the bill will not came on until the 21st of February, from which may be inhered the p visibility of I'. a oning on even before that date, they do not feel justified in delaying any longer tusking this communication t , tin shareh o ld e r.. Th, fasutious ef th, c nini:ttce may now h: considered r ended; and the committee have therefore only to restore to the shareholders the trust confided to them. In doing so, they would 'spree. their hope that, whatever course may he porgued by any clam of sharehohlers, the great object in which the proposal of the emersion* to ho made by the preference el, rs originated. :—the conciliation et all *lasses w.th a elcw to the attainment of the proposed amalgamation, will not ler lat sight of.

In this case, which his beta so often before the court, The Lord Chancellor delivered judgment. Re said this ease was heard before him on the lut day of term, and he then expressed his opinion that he ba d little doubt as to the course he had to pursue, unless anything in the orders which bad been made in the matter by Lord Cottenharr and Lord Bt. Leonard, presented his doing so. It was a most distressing case. The lunatic was tenant for life of large estates in Eneland and in Jamaica, the latter of which, when he (the Lord Chancellor) was at the bar, pro duced some 4,0001. • year ; whereas now they not only produced nothing, but loss wee constantly incurred, and a debt of epee-I.de of 200,0001. had accrued, and which was due to the consignees of the estates fir the keepies of them up, as well as for the premium paid by them on certain assurances on the life of the lunatic, which were intendi to secure their debt. In July lot the consignees aban doned the estates. Several orders had been made from time to time in the matter of that debt, l ead eventually an order was made by which the surplus funds of the English estates were di rected to be paid to the consignees to usable thine to keep up the premiums on the insurances. After the ahan donment of the estates by the consignees, • question arose how their debt and the insurances were to be dealt with; and an order was made referring it to the Master to ascer tain what would be the best course, and he reported that it was advisable that some agent should b. sent out to Jamaica to endeavour to let the estates. Accordingly a Captain Western was sent out with a salary of GUI. a month, but no more than 5001., or ten mouths' salary, was to be paid to him in the whole. When he arrived, he found that the agents of the late consignees had, notwithstanding their abandon ment, continued the management and cueivation of the estates for the ce.nsigneco, who were also managers. There would be no dou'it that they had no legal right so to act. But es he (the Lord Chancellor) had only now to consider whether they had acted for the benefit of the lunatic or not, he was of opinion that it was for his beuetit, as it must have had a most injurious effect an the property, had it, in • climate like that or Jamaica, been lett uncultivated since the time br two , n the abandonment by the coneignees and the arrival of Captain Western. The cultivation had cost, as was stated, le 001. A petition was then presented by the committee, praying thst he might be allowed to pay that sum, and also any WM% that might iu future be necessary for the cultivation of the estates. In any future order ho might make he must direct that no thing should be done on behalf of the lunatic but what wee absolutely necessary to carry out the Litt mien with which Captain 'Western was tent out—namely, the letting of the estates. To that extent, and no luithsr, could all of the lunatic's funds, which the court though:applicable, be ap plied towards the cultivation of the estates. The proceeds Glebe English estates were between 4,0001. and 5,0001. a year; but out of then the lunatic and his wife were to be maintainel. lie (the Lord Chancellor) must see whether the surplus of that fund was or was not so charged with the payment of the consignees debts es to render it improper that they should be applied towards the cultivatitn of the Jamaica estates. When the matter was last before hint it stood over in order that he might lock into the orders which had been made by his predecessors; and having done so, he found nothing to prevent his making an order that all sums expended on the cultivation of the estates since the abandonment by the consignees in July last might be allt.wecl to the committee in passing his accounts. That order would be made wish- cut prejudice to any application which the committee might's think fit to make in reference to any other expenses neces sarily incurred in the cultivation of the estutes with the view el letting them. Such expense s would on application be allowed, but he thought it best that the present order should be confined to these expose,' already incurred. The order would be made to that effect, the costs of all parties to be taxed and paid. RE FrIIIIELL.-LIMACY, Mr. Glass", who appeared in support of • petition for a commiiisivn, was about opening this ease, when Mr. Sondys asked that it might sten) over, that his clients, who opposed the petition, might have an opportu nity of filing affidavits explanatory of some parts of the re port which Dr. Forbes Winslow had made under the order of the court. The Lord Chancellor, in assenting, raid that the affida vits must be tiled befcrc 12 o'clock on Moneay. EDWARD. O. CHAMPION. Mr. Lee moved in this ease against a decision of the late Vice-Chanei nor Parker, by which ho refused W alter a ease sent by Lord Cottcultam to the Court of Common Pleas for their opinion. Mr. Melina and Mr. Prendergast appeared to oppose :be niction. The Lord Chancellor said that the recent act by which the custom of sending cases to be heard by a common-law court prevented his acceding to the motion. Ile would, however, re-hear the case in the same state as it was sent by Lord Cottenham to the court of law. _ This arrange:neat was acceded to, and the bearing fixed for Wednesday mat. fermi rut Muria or ran Bons. BATZMAN O. MAROERISON. This case bad come before the court on exceptions to the Muter's report. Oo one of them the question arose as to whether specialty creditors, who had executed a deed of assignment for the benefit of creditors, were entitlid to interest on their debts up to the time of payment; or wbe• ther interest stopped at the date of the execution of the deed, which was silent on tho subject ; and on that point the court had reserved its decision. His Honour now gave judgment; holding that the specialty debts bore interest up to the time of payment. BIM= TVIIIIIIt T. BLAIIIRE. KINDIULLILIT. Tho court was occupied, during the day, in hearing the arguments in tl,ie c -.sc, which has not yet been concluded. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-YESTERDAY. SZTTINO• AT NIA POD 111.--Buots LOAD CAXZIZLL AND A C. IDION THE QCZEN P. ORCHARD AND COI.-CI tekixtiNcl. The defendants in this case came up this day for judg ment. The indictment was for conspiracy to defraud the prosecutor, G. F. Orchard (brother of the defendant Orchard) and one of the Masters of the Court of Common Pleas, by means of a false affidavit of increase. Uri trial took place upon Tuesday last. It will be recollected that the de fendant Orchard is an attorney, and the defendant Cox his articled clerk. Upon tho application of Mr. E. Jamey, two affi davits, matte at the time and for tho purposes of the taxa tion to which the affilaeir of increase referred by the prosecutor and his brother Augustus, were read. Two other affidaeits were offered in mitigation. Lord Campbell did not see that these atlidavits tended in any way to di , prove the facts found by thn jury. Mr. James considered that they showed the prosecutor was connected with the improper practice which was the subject of the indictment. Mr. M. Chambers moved the judgment of the court. The defendants were then calleu, but they did not appear. Lord Camrdxll then said that a very painful duty was east upon him, in having to oass sentence upon the two defendants, who had been convicted of a conspiracy to defraud. They belonged to an honourable and useful pro fession, in which they might have maintained themselves and their families in a tespeetab's position in life. The sentence which he was now about to pronounce upon them would disgrace them, and interfere in a most material man ner with their future prospects in life. The fraud charged was that in an action at law, the verdict having been found for the plaintiff, the defendants in this indictment preteuded that various sums had been paid to the witnesses who attended at the trial, which suing hail not been paid ; but were intended by these defendant.' to be converted to their own use. Be regretted to say that the means use Ito carry this conspiracy into eiftet were perjury and fraud. They used an affidevit made by Cox, which was untrue, and known to be so by both parties. In that affidavit it was stated that Cox had paid, or caused to be paid, consi derable sums of money to various witnesses on behalf of the plaintiff. Now both defendants knew that these sums had not been paid ; in fact they hi.d euteeed into a scheme for the purpose of deeeivin; the Master of the Court of Com mon Pleas, and to obtain receipts from the witnesses for moneys which had never been paid. The affidavit wassworn by Cox and Orchard, who kne w that it was false, end did not hesitate to say thee it was true. Thus, one was guilty of perjury and the other of subornation of perjury. Then again, they acted in a most discreditable manner after the affidavit ...111 made. The attorney, who appear. t 1 on tho other si le when the costs were taxed, waived an irregularity of form in the affidavit, upon the assurance of these defen dants that tho moncysin question had been paid. Further then that, to some of the witnes.ce, to whom allowance was male by the Master, they pretended that nothing was al ' lowed ; to others that sums smaller than the reel amounts had been awarded. Such a complication of perjury and fraud had rarely been laid bare in a court of justice. It was shocking to observe the reckltesnees with which the parties had acted ; indeed, they seemed to be unconscious that they were doing wrovg. The senteace of the court ' was, that W. 11. Orchard be imprisoned in her Majesty's gaol of Neweate for the term of six calendar months, and that Oeurge Cox, in consideration of his being a younger man and articled to the other defendant, be iiiprianned in the same gaol fur the term of three calen ler months. Re hoped that this would be a warning to others. Ills lordship added that he believed the prosecution proceeded from very impure m.tivra. That, however, did not alter the merits of the case, nud he rejoiced, for the cake of the public, that the prosecution had taken place. The adminittration of justice must always depend, in a great degree, upon the manner in which costs were taxed. It was true that the expenses of litigation hail been much decreased of late years—that fers of court had been gl catly reduced; but the expenses of witnesses a ust always remain much about the same in amount, and must of necc..ity fall upon the par ties. Even if the views of Mr. Bentham, and ninny ether inttffigent writers, were emit d into effect, and the legisla ture were is provide the means of administering justice without con to the suitors, yet the costs of witnesees must tell be payable by the plaintiff or deft ndant, as the case might be. SITTINGS IN LONDON. The List case hav:ug Lccu diToscd of, the court d journed. The sittings in London commence on Saturday, Ike 12th of February instant. NORTH OF EUROPE STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. The first half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the la , i.don Tavern, Bishopsgate-etreet ; S. M. Pre°, Esq , taok the chair. The Sumas - rake react the fol:owing report: Having so recently as thi !'th of December last, at a meeting held at Via London Tavern, entered into a full ex. planation of the proceedings and future prospects of the company, it is only necessary at the present half-yearly mei t:ni?, which has been called in accordance with the decal of -elate-meat, to direct your attention to the annexed state- Rent of accounts, prepared by Mr. J. E. Coleman, the Okla! auditor, to report what progress has been made since rho' meeting, and to reiterate that which was then stated. A second call of 2/. 10s. per share having been made, and, up to the present time, very fully responded to, it bus been appropriated, a-• previously intended, and stated in the report of the 9th of December, in payment of the ships and plant purchased from the Northern Stearn Packet Campany. Arraagements havo also been made fur building two steam ships of 800 tons each, and corresponding horse power, one of which is considerably advanced, and the other will speedil be ei.mmenced. Negotiations are also r."arly com pleted for epenino. tho Norwegian and Swedish trades under eircumsta:ces moat favourable to the interests of this company. The trade already opened between Great Grimsby snd Hamburg is steadily increasing, and the company's ships are now securing large and remunerative heights both out and home. It is also satisfactory to know that the establishment of this company has had tho effect of stimulatieg the promoters of the Harwich Railway to renew their efforts for the completion of that line, far which a contract has been taken, and the works are iu ac tiro operation, with every prospect of being finished by the ecd of the present year. A bill is likewise about to bo pro- cured for permission to make docks at Harwich, which, when completed, c►nnot fail to be of great service to this company. In the meantime, active and intelligent agents are caged in various parts of the continent in seeking and eat .blishing new sources of traffic, and their reports from time to time are of a very encouraging character. We shcl therefore be prepared to carry out all that has been contemplated in the ensuing spring with Leery confidence and ',soap/et of success." Receipts and Expenditure to 31st December, 1852.

As they were present, however, he was happy to inform the shareholders that the directors were steadily procee 'ing to the ou-ious point., and that everything which had trans , pired since that meeting only lead the board to feel that all their expectations would be bully realised, and ho hoped the company, b y the next time they met, would be found pursuinglarge and satisfactory businesa. (Applause.) The result of their inquiries as to traffic could not be known at the last meeting, and now they were known, he was happy to say that they eaceeded the most sanguine expee tatioim of the directors. The railways uudettaken in Den mark were progr,.sing very rapidly, and it was his expectation that in fifteen months the line between Hens burg, Rendsburg, end Tonnienton would be completed, thus opening the communication betwixt the Baltic and the North Sea. If they took into account the saving of the en tire Sound dues, as one thing only, they might brit an idea of tho great results which might be expected from this traffic when developed. (Hear, hear.) They would see by the report that the Harwich line was fast progressing, which was confirmed by the directors on their visit a few slays previously to this meeting. Ile would conclude by sayieg that he thought this scheme was founded on a good sound commercial heel., and all the details which had corns to the knowldege of the directors *Mee the origin of the proposition only confirmed him in that expectation. (Ap plause.) Mr. Farris seconded the aloption of the report. The retiring directors were then unanimously re-elected, after which a vote 01 thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting adjourned. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS ON STANDING ORDER.R.

UNPROTECTED OLD COAL PITS.—In anoth:r part of our paper (sap the Wsaceil,omptois eitreoidelppear accounts of two Inquests held last week on the bales of children whose deaths have been caused by falling down I unprotected old coal pits. We felt certain, when we under ; toed' Weal' public attention io a prominent matinee to this iteca , Dul evil, that we should insure its abatement. We are happy to state that in several instances in the north of 1 the cou.ity, and in this immediate neighbourhood, old pits have been cloud in and protecte !. We understand fur ' ther that in a short time Mr. Wynne, the inspector of mines for the district, proposes to go throu,o it, with the .kw of reporting all instances of open any unprotected pits to the Secretary of State. It is probable, therefore, that legal proceedings will be taken, should the At• torney-General be of opinion that indictments can be main tained (end other counsel have given an opinion is that , effect) against such pit-owners and others wh• tray con , tinne to neglect a duty which common humanity so plainly slielaten CONSISTORY COURT.—YesTuDAY. B.roas De. Lv.eumme. FlBlllla O. FISHER. _ _ This was &cause of separation on the ground of adultery, promoted by the husband against his wife. Dr. Jeoner appeared for Mr. Fisher, and there beicg no opposition to the suit, Dr. Luahingtou pronounced for the divorce. STORY V. STORY. This ease, in which Mr. S:ory, a tailor, in Fleet-street, was proceeded against by his wife for the restitution of con jugal rights, 111,4 one that had come before the court innu merable timer, Mr. Story (who appeared in person) having shown considerable dexterity in procrastinating the end of the suit. Some time ago a decree bad been made to She effect that he rhnuld take his wife home, and on the 20th of November he alleged that he had done so, and prayed to be distaiaard. 1 . 0 this Um Story objected, and the case now came on fur argument. Dr. Ltohineton (to Mr. Story) —Mr. i Story, you have been guilty of very improper con act id sending a private paper to the judge of this court. You ought to be aware that no judge of any court of justice in this country would ever think of receiving such a document. Dr. Jenher appeared for Mrs. Story. On her behalf it was contended that Mr. Star/ had evaded the order of the court, for, although she had resided in the apartments he had provided fur her at Notting-hill from the 20th of November to the present time, Mr. Story had never slept er taken his meals there to her knowledge ; nor had be in deed ever come there o;•enly at all, except on three or four occasions, on one of which he appeared to be taking an in ventory of the furniture. She also complained of the ac commodation provided for her, which, she said, was unsuit able for her station, as her husband was a respectable tradesman, and p tid 001. a year for the education of her two daughters. The furniture was inrufft:ient and mean in its character, and the water came through the ceiling of her Mr. Story, in his affidavits, denied this statement in toto. Ilc said that ever since the 20th of November he hal slept, breakfasted, acd supped at the bona., except on three or four occa , ions ; that it was his custom to come to the city during the daytime in order to follow his ordinary avoca tions, and that be dined at a tavern. The suit was an at tempt to do more than the court had often laid down as the limit of its power, namely, to enforce matrimonial coha bitation, which he (Mr. Story) contended that ho had ren &red. The fact was, Mn. Story and her proctor were en de :Touring to induce him to sign a deed of separation anal tt allow her a sum of mosey ; and with this view they had caused upwards of 20 actions to be brought against him for bread and other necessaries. She had also twice proceeded spina him under the Vagrancy Act ; hut she had not yet succeeded in obtaining the decision of a single court in her favour. Lastly, he contended that she had teen kept con , t ealed from him ever since the 30th of April, and he there fore prayed that he might be dismissed as from that date. Dr. LusLington said it could net be too well known that the wily answer toe Suit of restitution was that the party promoting it had been guilty of adultery or of acts amount. ing to the legal definition of cruelty. No answer short of that, whatever might be the misconduct of the party, could have the slightest relevancy in such a suit. In this rase it was clear that if Mrs. Story 'a statement were true Mr. Story had not obeyed the orders of the court; but on the other baud, if they were to believe Mr. Story, he was fully entitled to be dismissed. Mr. Story was fully cor roborated by the occupier of the house in Notting-hill, and his statement was on the whole such as to satisfy the court. Of course it was utterly impossible for the court to regu late the degree—the manner end form in which a man's household affairs were to be conducted; and therefore, although he regretted that Mr. Story had not been more mindful of his conjugal vow, ho was net prepared to say that Mrs. Story had shown any cause why the court should interfere any further, lie should therefore dismiss him on payment of all the costs in this case. Mr. Story—l protest of a grievance, and I give notice that I shall appeal on the ground of tho costa. Dr. Lushington directed the registrar to make a minute of the protest, and assigned Mr. Story to prosecute his appeal on the next court day. iiIMEWILL V. HALIWILL. In this ease, Mr. ilakewill having neglected to obey the order of the court to take home his wile and treat her with conjugal kindness, was pronounced in contempt. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—TESTERDAT. Banes Ma. COKISWITONIII EVANS. IN MI J. K. VOTB. This was the last examination meeting. The bankrupt was of Albion-square, DAlston, bsilder.

By property given up, 294!.; property held as security, 9,3091. ; expenses, 1,8221. Mr. Lawrence supported the bankrupt, whose books were not now forthcoming, they being on board a vessel which had tiben its dep.irture fur abroad. The accounts, how ever, were stated to be true, and the beat that could be ren pored. Mr. Lloyd, for a creditor, applied for an adjournment for six months, in order that something more might be known respecting the books. Mr. Lawrence observed that Mr. Lloyd's client had not proved his debt. His Honour thought that the better course would ho to adjourn the examination sine die, and granting protection from month to month. IN Ma JOSEPB WARRIN.

DOWLING -SEDUCTION. - _ The plaintiff in this ease was Mrs. Haltom, of Clareoee street, Everson, and the defendant • clerk in a soap-boil ing establishment in Liverpool. The plaintiff sought to re cover damages from the defendant for the loss of the ser vices of her daughter, who, it was alleged, hail been se duced by the defendant. From the evidence of the mother and daughter, it ap peared that they lived neat door to the defendant, and Mi,s Haltom and he were on visiting terms, but it aq peered that the young lady's visits were the moat frequent. On these occasions both parties were in the habit of sitting oa a sofa and taking a game of cards together. Matters proceeded in this manner until October, 1851, when • cri minal intercourse took place between them in the drawing room. This was the first and only time. Nothing was said upon the subject until the Klintary following, when the deLndaut tulil the young lady ho would make it all right with hi r. The mother at the time was totally one ware of what had marred, nor did she know of it until her daughter was delivered of a child on the 24th of July, when the defendant, when spoken to upon the subject, said he should make it all right with the plaintiff: For the defence, it was alleged that Miss Haltom was on terias of improper intimacy with Mr. Morris (of the firm of Clarke and Morris, haberdashers), in whose establishment plaintiff's daughter was employed. the jury returned a verdict for plaintiff—damages, 701. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Samuel Clark and George Harrison, the former coach man, and the latter footman, in the service of Mr. Madely, Westbourne-tarrace, Hyde-park, were brought before Mr. Hall, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of their master's carriage and pair of horses. Constable 110 F said en Wednesday night he was on duty iu Tavistock.street, when ha saw the defondants with a gentleman's carriage and pair of horses in the rank wait ing for the close of the concert at Exeter-hall. The defend ants were both drunk, and the coachman so much so, that the footman was obliged to hold him an the box. Seeing the state they were in, witness took them to tho station. The defend:inns master was subsequently obliged to drive the carriage home himself. Mr Hall said no doubt the defendants would lose their situations, and as Harrison was the more sober of the two be should discharge bins ; the coachman he fined 104., or seven days. SOUTHWARK. A'Seckett said that be received a letter that morning from a benevol .nt individual, who did not wish his name to go forth to the public, inelosing a cheque fur 501.t0 assist Mrs. Hswtt and her few children to proceed to Australia with her three other daughters, who are accepted by Mr. Sidney Herbert's Female Emigration Society. It may be treed. lected that a gentleman attended at this count on Mon day with the widow and her three daughters, who were provided with free passages, to request some assistance from the poor box, to enable the mother and the other three children to accompany them. Ihe magistrate on the occa sion directed that 31. from the poor box of the court should be applied for the purpose required, as he deemed the cue one deserving of sympathy, and that it would be advanta geous for the three young women selected by the above society to be accompanied by their parent and the three remaining children. It appears that the Female Emigra tion Sudety had nothing whatever to do with the applica than, but it was catchy brouaht forward by some gentlemen iu Southwark who were anxious that the V. a o w and her younger children should accompany her three eldest daugh tars to Australia. LAitIBETH, TVilli.nn Henri Ilaacxk, a youth 10 years of av, was fiC3ity on a charge of 'testing a sash-box, eon tainipg tourkt n pounds in gold and silver, the property of his master. From the tvidenee, it appears, that the pri soner had been servant to Dir. Diramock, pork butcher, in the Wyndham-road, Camberwell, and was at work on the premises on the evening of Thursday, the 3rd instant, dur ing the abet nce of his muter. On the return of Mr. Dins mock be missed the crib-box from his bed-room, and on qu•sttoning the prisoner on the following scorning as to whether he had heard the noise of persons getting in at the bed-room window, or knew anything about the box, he declared he had not. Information of the robbery was given to the police, and Brookes, 262 P, upon making inquiries, discovered that on the night of the robbery the p-i•oaer purchased a watch and chain, et a shop in Mount-street, Lambeth, for 41. 8.„ expended a large sum in pies at a shop in the Westmiuster•road, " flashed" a sum of money at the bar of a public-house, and got gloriously drunk. It further appeared that in 1848 the prisoner had been tried at the Old Bailey, on a charge of stealing money, the property of his master, and having been found guilty, was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. This Tact was, hokever, un known to the prosecutor. The pttoottar was fully committed in (ale Ms 441 on tile charge of stealing the cash box. THAMES. Alexander Paton, a iceman, stated to belong to the Ante• limn ship Wisconsin ' which he joined at Shanghai, was charged with deserting frem the British ship Priam Charlie, at San Francesco, in March, 18.52. The prosecution was instituted by Mr. Dall, the owner of the Prince Charlie, who had been a great sufferer by the desertion of the whole of the crew of the ship at San Francesco, and which had entailed upon him au expense of upwards of 6001. In consequence of prisoner's conduct, the captain had to ship another man at San Francesm, where seamen were very mime, and he demanded 261. for the run to Shanghai, which the captain had to pay, and then an other man wan shipped at Shanghai for the voyage home to London at 51. per month, so that the expense to the owner, by the desertion of the prisoner, was upwards of 631. Mr. Ingham could not help thinkirg that an increase in the rate of wages was a true cure for desertion. 21. pi r month, for which the prisoner signed articles, was an ia ceediagly low rate of wages. However, he had nothing to do with that, and he must put the law in force; but lie would not inflict the full punishment in this case. Ile sen tenced the prisoner to bo imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months. MARKETS. COTTON.—Ltvanrouc, Yaw 10.—The sales of eotton this day are estimated at 8,000 bales, and comprise about G,OOO American (1,000 of which are taken for export, and 1,500 by speculators) ; 520 I'ernam nod Maranham, to 60.: 70 Bsbia, 64d. to 61d. • 700 Egyptian, 641. to ltd.; 800 Surat, 41. to 41d. The market closed tamely, with much offering. Prices of American were 1-161. per lb. under the quotations of Friday, and in some cases per lb. Other sorts unchanged. Maiecusaraa, FEB. 10.—We have had a very quiet market, the demand, b.itit fram the home trade and from exporters, being very limited. India cloths of ilb. weight have scarcely been so firm as the heavier fabrics, but, gene rally speaking, both spinners and manufaeurers have Leen firm in their demand for the prices of Tuesday, and the market closes firmer. WOOL.-BRADFORD, Feb. 10.—The transactions in the Wool market, throughout the week, h.vd been spiritless, with no disposition to sell at a depressed price, all parties being satisfied that the present consumption, profitless or otherwise, will maintain the price, as the supplies coming to market are scanty, and the choice here daily getting worse.—Bradford Observer. MANUFACTURES.—Dumaronn - , Feb. 10.- - . 7 -17• ti& The spinners are in a had plight; wool is, and lik.ly to be, dear, while higher prices on Yarns limit the consumption. Erery day the complaints inerea.e of the bad return of empty bobbins, and the conse quent stoppage of the spinning frames ; and, as there is uo inclioution to reel Yarn+, bad as it may be to let the frames stand, it would ha worse to reel it, and sell at the prices now current. Pieces: The sales to-day aro not marked by any great ectisity, nor is there any relief pre sented to the manufacturers by cheaper cotton or worsted, and from present appearances nothing but lessening the production eau bring about a change in prices couscquent on the coat to produce goods.—Bradford Marne,. CORN.—BIBMINGHANS, Fen. 10.—At Gloucester mar ket, on the bth, must kinds of wheat where Is. per quarter lower. At Worcester, same day, wheat maiutaiLed its value, but barley was Is. per quarter lower. Oa miss the turn was in favour of the buyer. Brans wanted for plan ing and is. per quarter dearer. Peas neglected. During the present week we have had rather more passing in the trade, at fully previous rates for wheat. Grinding barley scarce and inquired for. Oats unaltered. Beans tending upwards. Few transactions reported in peas. At this day's market, the turn on all descriptions of wheat was in favour of the seller, but we make no alteration in our quo tations. Barley firm, but without any life in the trade. More sale fur oats at former prices. Bean/ rather dearer. Peas dull and tending downwards. ' BRISTOL, Fan. 10.-The market to-day has been toler ably well supplied with English wheat, but the samples of the growth of Jut autumn show little or no improvement in their character or condition. The demand has not been active, and although no quotable reduction has been ef fected, the currencies of this day rennight have been barely supported. In foreign there has not been much doing, and prices are scarcely so firm as at last week's market for any description, while some inferior qualities are the torn in favour of the buyer. The demand for flair is sluggish, and prices have given way to the extent of 6.1. to Is. par sack for English, and proportionately on foreign. For malting barley, especially the better qualities, there is 11101 i in quiry; and floe samples bring the full currencies of last week's list. Grinding parcels are about 6d. per qr. below the prices of last week. Beans are in slow request, and arc 6d. per qr. cheaper. Oats are of dull sale, and in order to effect sales holders had to submit to a decline of from 9.1. to Is. per qr. on last week's prices. The prices were at follows :-English new wheat, 40s. to 48s. per imperial quarter ; ditto, elel wheat, 525. to 665. per ditto; foreign, white, 525. to 565. per 48011-5. ; foreign, red, extra fine qualities, 18s. to 50 5 . pe r di t t o ; ditto, ne qualities, 465. to 48s. per ditto ; ditto, ordinary qualities, 445. to 465. per ditto; foreign, hard, 41.. to 475. per ditto.

The official return of the corn inspector gives the following averages :-Wheat, 453..11d. ; oats, 19s. ; bar- ley, 33.. Id.; beans, 39.. 8.1. Dzvans, Feb. 10.-We had a fair supply of Wheat, in which a brisk trade was done at fully last week's prices, the turn being in favour of the seller. Barley was in mo derate supply, and met a very quick and good sole. The best malting samples, which were very scarce, and none of which were equal in quality to late supplies, were, quality considered, fully Is. per qr. dearer, and in all the turn was decidedly in favour of the seller ; 38s. per qr. was the top price. In Oats, Beans, and Peas no alteration. Wheat, white, 60e. ; best red, 635. to 575. ; middling, 41s. to 53.. ; inf, rior, 335. to 41s. Barley 275. to 38s. Oats, 18s. to 26e. Beaus, 345. to 425. Peas, 34.. to 40s. Flour, fine, 40.. to 435. per sack; seconds, 365. to 395. NMVARI, Feb. 9.-There has been a fair quantity of business transacted in most kinds of grain at our exchange to-day. The supply was moderately liberal, and the de mand prop..rtumate. In both Wheat and Barley there was a decided improvement in value of Is. per qr. for better qualities, bur, for all samples showing, the prices of our last report were fairly supported. Spring corn in general was plentiful, and a fair business therein was done. Other ar ticles unchanged. Prices:-Wheat, white, 515. to 665. ; red, 465. to ols. Grinding Barley, 23,. to 295.; malting, Ai to 35r. Oats, 18s. to 255. Beans, old, 425. per qr. ---- - - - - . NEWIIVIIIt, Feb. 10.—Wc had this day a largo supply of Wheat, which met • steady sale, at the prices of last week ; and, in some instances, where the condition was im proved, at rather more money. Barley also in good sup ply, and prices the same. Oats, Beans, and Peu con tinue in limited demand. UXBRIDGE, Feb. 10.—Tho trade for Wheat to-day is firm ; the best price given for new is 565. Barley is in de mand, and Beaus are Is. per qr. dearer. Spring Tares Ga. to 6s. 61 per bushel. WATER/DOA Feb. 9.—There has not been any increase in our supplies of farmers' grain since Saturday, and the arrivals from abroad have b...cn but limited. Our market to-day is rather firmer far every article in the trade, at the currrency of last week. CATTLE.—Leens Fen. 10.—Thero was a numerous attendance of buyers at the fair yesterday. The number of beasts shown was 730, and that of sheep 4,000. There was an excellent sale at advancing rates. Cattle realised from 7s. to 75.81. per stone of 161bs. ; and sheep averaged 7d. per lb. NEWARI. Feb. 9.—A small market today and not much business was done. No alteration in prices. There were 73 Beast?, 127 Pigs, and 5 Sheep penned. Sm.roun, Feb. 9.—We have had but a moderate show of stock today ; scarcely equal to the demand, cqtecially of prime meat. As buyers c ottinuo in good attendance, there was, for the c onmencement of Lnnt, a tolerable good market, and the prices of last week were fully supported. SOrTUALL, Feb. 9.—Trade was slow to-day, but last week's rAcs were firmly maintained. Beef made from 2s. to 41. Mutton, 3s. lOd. to ss. Veal, as. lOd. to ss.
