The rise previously estab lished wean, however, to have been firmly maintained ; sad it is tolerably clear that little encouragement would be needed to give rise to renewed activity.

This was an appeal from the decision of Vice•Chaneellor I Swart, who had ordered the names of the executors of the late Sir William Hyde Pearson to be struck off the list of contributories to the liabilities of the company, upon which they had been placed by the Master. It appeared that Sir William bad formed one of the provisional committee of the proposed company, and had also formed one of the ten persons chosen out of that body to act as the managing committee. Bridget* was adduced showing that Sir Wil liam had been present at meetings at which Mr. Viguulee had been appointed engineer of the company, and at which orders were given to an advertising agent who claimed a eon. aid, Table sum from the committee. It unix& red, however, that after the scheme had become abortive and bail been aban doned, a Meeting of four of the provisional committee took place at Birmingham, which was ant attended by Sir Wil haul Pearson, to consider *hat proceedirgs should be taken for the purpose of settling the affairs of the concern. The result was that a circular was drawn up and sent by the' secretary of the company to every individual member of both commi t a , . The latter was as follows Sir,—The total liabilities of this company having been at length ascertained, I am direct, d to inform you that the amount due to creditor is 6,760!. ; and that your share of the same, as one of the provisionaldirectors, is 160'. On payment a the above sum you will be released from 01l further liabi lity, and the balance (if any) which may accrue after the settlement of the claims of the coin liany will be returned to you." Sir Wiliam l'earson in his lifetime complied with the proposition contained in this letter by paying 1601. to the bankers of the company. The Vice•Cbancellor's opinion was, that by this letter Sir Wi liam and his estate were discharged from any further lia bility, u between himself and the other intrnbers of the managing commi tee, to the debts which might still be in flint's's against them. Their lordships were of opinion that the letter in goes. lion, though it might be a release to any member of the provisional committee complying with its terms, could not be ao as between members of the managing committee. The reason was, that, at the data of the transaction, the liability of provisional committee men to the debts of the company was a matter of doubt, but not so the liability of the managing committee, which I was eertsin. With regard to these last, *horn it was im possible to release from liability, the letter was unintelli gible ; the estate of Sir William would therefore still be liable to the existing debts of the concern. Without going into the question ot the validity of the claim in respect of the engineer's necoont, about which there appeared to be a contest as to Sir William's liability thereto, it was quite cleat up in the present evidence that the estate was liable to the claim of the advertising agent. As the evidence upon this claim had, however, been now adduced for the first time, an opportunity would be given to the executors to meet it by affidavit if they could ao so before they were finally settled upon the list. An order was then made directing the executors' names to be restored to the list, un less an application were made to rehear the matter on or before the first day of nest term.

The matter was taken before the Lords Justices, who, without taking upon themselves to disallow any tof the charge, re commended that the subject should be again brought under the notice of the COWIR01111; with a request that he should review his derision.

By , the 44th sec la the Banbropity Iry OmmUdinsa Act (fol. lowiag the set 1 - ma 2 Walks IV., esp. 66), it was " 11.1 Sc awl gm order ond allow to be NM sat se eai Ilukespre MA% et Si. WWI eielieee thereof, as a remuneration foe his services, such sum as shall, upon the consideration of the amount of the bank rupt's property, and the nature of the ditties performed by such official assignee, appear to be tut and reasonable." This was an answer to thou who said that the remunera tion ought to be settled by a sort of quantum ineruit, as the lawyers called it, according to the actual amount of labour dose in each can. And what had been the uniform prac tice ? Immedistely after the passing of the set 1t 2 Was. IV., cap. 58, the commissioners met and fixed • rate or scale of per tentage upon the receipts end money divided, feeliug that any other mode of regulating the allowance ' was impossible. Lord Justice Knight Bruce said that it would probably he better, for the good administration of justice, that there should be • general rule or scale, not inflexible, not unchangeable, but liable to vary in particular cases, in the tlCreil• of the judicial discre tion Cart fully applied, and that there should be an endea vour to obtain as much uniformity of practice in this respect among the commissioners as the nature of the subject and a due attention to the language of the statute would permit. There was one mistake in the judgment of this learned judge. He said that such a scale had not re ceived the unction of the great seal. But it had in reality been sanctioned by Lord Chancellor Brougham. That scale fixed the official assignee's allowance at 1 per cent. on all lams received, and 21 per cent, on all divided ; but that rate had not been adopted by the commissioners, who felt that it was too high; and, if applied to this case, it would have given Mr. Pennell more than double ho had received. A scale w.s also sanctioned by the Court of 'Levies' in the case "Es part e Tiplady in the matter of Dickinson"(l Mon tague and Ayreton, p. 161.) There a larger charge had been made then in the present case for collecting and di viding a smeller sum. The Commissioner (llelroyd) had allowed 4881., and the Court of Review never objected to the mode of remuneration by • scale, but decided that where • discretion was given to a judicial officer, and that officer acted honestly and bona fide , to the but of his judgment, they would not interfere to reverse it. Another very learned individual, Lord Cottenham, bad also con curred in the principle of a scale. When that court had lost both its official assignees (Mr. Green and Mr. Follett) by death, he (the Commissioner) applied to Lord Cotten bans. The amount of allowance to the official assignees was much discussed; his lordship found fault with the want of uniformity, and suggested that the number of as signees should be reduced by not filling up the vacancies ; he never objected to the mode of remuneration by scale or per centage, but recommended the commissioners to take care that an official assignee did not receive more than 1,200/. • yeer as a maximum. He email safely say that neither Mr. Pennell nor Mr. Nicholson, the official assig nees in his court, had received anjthing like that amount. Ile now came to a point which wu almost conclusive on this matter. Lord Justice Knight Bruce recommended the commissioners to concur in an application to the Lord Chancellor on the subject. That had been done. The attention of the present Lord Chancellor bad been particularly called to it, and with reference to the question in this cam. Four of the London and four of the country commissioners had put befcre him their views; his lordship had entered into the subject with all his natunl acuteness, and had arrived at the conclusion that no other mode could be devised of re munerating the official assignee but by • scale or per tentage. He had sanctioned such • jab in the new rules and orders which would come into operation on the 11th of next month ;it was in the 130th order; and, so far from that scale giving less to Mr. Pennell in this ease, it would have given him 401. more. Like the scale sanctioned by Lord Brougham, it was to be subject to variation In any particular can, sad for tames to be assigned Ly the Com missioner in writing and fi led with the proceedings ; and the Lord Chancellor, with his characteristic caution, had suggested that it should only be imperative for twelve months, in order that, if found to work oppressively for the suitors, it might be altered. But it might be altered by the Commissioner in any particular ease, and that brought him to the inquiry whether there were any special circum stances in this ease to induce him to deviate from the scale. He thought there were now. He would' state the items of the charge ; because injustice had been done to Mr. Pennell in putting the whole mount together, without dissecting the items. The fleet item was 201 for examining and reporting the accounts. For this duty the allowance varied from 51. to 201.; in this ease the larger amount had been rightly fixed, for if ever there was a case where it was incumbent on the official assignee closely to investigate the accounts and to compare them with the books it was undoubtedly this, where Ashlin had been guilty of so much tampering with his boolu, and had done his best to deceive and mislead his creditors by these books. The next item was 5 per cent. on the debts col lected below 1001., being 241. Is. on 481/. 12s I Id. ; this was quite according to the ordinary course. On de its above 1001. and below 6001., amounting to 1,2371. 6s. 21 per cent. wascharged ; and 1 per ant. on 3,1951., the debts above 1,0001. and property ; the charges being re- I sputively 311. and 321. It was said a great part of these debts were collected by the accountant; but it would be unjust to deprive the moque* of his per center on this so tenet ; it was a practice which the court would never sanction till told to do so. Each man should do his duty; and it was the duty of the official assignee to get in the debts. But the principal queedos arose os the item of SOL, or I per ant. charged on a sum of 18,0321,; in respect to which it was said Mr. Pen nell had so trouble whatever as it wee paid over to him at owe by those who bad co ll ided it preview ts the adjuncts. tion. The court utterly dissented frontal& The offing assignee was to be remunerated, set asserdiag to the trouble imposed epos bias, but ac c ording le the bembrepes property and the nature of the dutiesllll hat se perform. , in coseequesco of the money bens es gut in, he received so man less ; had he gotit in in the ordinary way his per tentage would have been much leper. It was tree Mr. Pennell's actual labour in »miring this money was next to nothing; but it was the per osathge which had bees sanctioned and allowed from the commemsemat of the court by everybody who had had to do with these matter+, looking at the words of the act of parliament-" upo n Con• sideratton of the amount of the bankrupt's property. The amount realised was to pay a tax, and that tax was to be small where the assignee's trouble was small. The mount charged on dividing the meets bad not been much quarrelled with. Many Nieman thought that in order to en sure a speedy division, the official assignee's per *tentage should be increased. It was sow 2 per cent. on the first 1,0001., and 1 per cent. on all beyond, making in the present can 1781. 2a., and 331. for dividend warrants; making the whole amount charged 3631. The items were much smaller, in comparison, than those in Tiplady's ease, which were sanctioned by the Court of Review. This allowance, said to be so large and im proper, was much smaller than that of any receiver in any court of justice, or any officer performing analogous duties. Upon the whole amount of assets, the charge was only per omit. The receivers in Chancery, who in many casts had very little tremble, new received so low a per tentage a• that ; the lowest ememmit_ ther given was 3 per cent., and Vint was fixed la Lad Lappith in a ease where the nessant was veey leqp.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yoax, Disc. 20. 841,1111 Ilia. Jranos Tairovao. xCaDBY AT SB■/116LO. Alfred Wnddingeos, 20, wasii;liet;i — for the murder of his own child, at Sheffield, as tbs 18th of August last, by sneering its had from tho body with a shoonalmem knife. The prisoner, a decent.looking young man, and not at all of a forbidding or repulsive countenance or demeanour, pleaded, in a firm tone of voice, "nut guilty." The facts of the cake, which have been already published, having been given in evidence, counsel for the prisoner proceeded to contend that he had committed the crime when in a state of insanity. The jury, however, after some deliberation, found the otiaoaer Guilty, and the learned judge immediately p Nakao) of death upon MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YEBTERDAY. TAomas BoirdifeA, 26, pleaded guilty to an indictment in which he was charged with having stolen several sums of money, amounting to 101. his. 611., the moneys of William Farran his miller. The prosecutor in this cam is, as is well known, the lessee of the Olympic Theatre, and the prisoner was employed by him as messenger. Mr. W. Ferree, jun., gave the prisoner the sums ho was charged with stealing to pay for advertise- ments of the performances in the Morning Chronicle, Morn ing Herold, and the Sun, but, instead of doing so. he appropriated them to his own use. He left the theatre on the 4th inst., and shortly afterwards these arta of larceny were discovered. The court sentenced him to one year's hard labour. Limtare Julius Celli, 25, a German, was indicted for having unlawfully attempted to obtain • diamond ring, and other 'theirs, value 2451., the property of Richard Atten borough, with intent to cheat him thereof. It appeared that, on the afternoon of the 30th of Novem ber, the prisoner went to the shop of the prosecutor, • pawnbroker and jeweller, 68, Oar rd-street, and signified to the shopman that he wished to see • diamond bracelet which was in the window, ticketed 1501. Accordingly it was shown to him, and he then wished to see • necklace, the price of which was GO guineas, and then a diamond ring value 351. The shopman did not like the appearance of Ids customer, and, while showing him the ring, placed the ' other articles snide, by way of precaution, upon which the ' prisoner desired them to be replaced before him on the counter, and taking up a piece of piper, he wrote down the figures, and made an offer of 2301. for the three articles, which was accepted. lie desired them to be sent to Chris tie's Hotel, and the shopman repaired thither at tho ap pointed time. Being suspicious, he took the precaution of making some inquiries of parties at the hotel, the result of which was, that he was convinced he had • swindler to deal with. The prisoner, it appeared, had, on the same afternoon, gone to the hotel and engaged • suite of apartments u the agent of Count Beckendorff, who, he said, would arrive that night at half-past ten o'clock, with the countess and family. After doing this he went to Mr. Attenborough's, and his hiring of the rooms, no doubt, was part of his scheme to get the property in question into his possession. When the shopman was shown into the apartments where the prisoner IMP. he took the bill (the shopman had not delivered the goods), and went into an inner room, as if to submit it to some one, and on his return he inquired if the ring could be altered in else. Ho was answered in the affirmative, and then he wished to take the ring into the inner room, and said something about "Madame," to induce the shopman to suppose it was for a lady. The shop man said that the ring could not go to the lady ; " Madame" must come to the ring, and then the prisoner finding that ho was suspected, went back to the room an if to fetch " Madame," but he slipped on his over coat and went down stairs through another door. As be was about to leave by the street door one of the servants asked him if he had paid Mr. Attenhorough for the jewel lery, when he replied, "Me no English." He was de tained and given into custody. It is almost needless to say that no Count or Countess Beekendorff made their appear ance at the hotel. When searched the sum of 21d. was found on li'm. The criainer, through an interpreter, in his defence, said in effect that he had acted on the instructions of a friend at Paris, who was to have arrived that night, but he bad destroyed the letter, as it related to private family matters. He said nothing about his having wanted to show the ring to Madame." The jury found him Gently, and the court sentenced him to eight months' hard labour. Mr. Buchanan, the magistrate, said there were in the House of Correction at the present time 21 Germans, regular scamps and thieves, and he bad no doubt the prisoner was one of the gang. The interpreter said the prisoner whited to be sent back to Germany. The Assistant-Judge—The sooner he gets back to Ger many after the eight months the better. (A. laugh.) Mr. Teatimes, Goa of the deacons of the chapel, came out and mind one of the boards from the prisoner and broke it. A distorbanee ensued, and witness took the prisoner into custody on the charge of causing an obstruction. The boards were produced, and a placard similar to the ones pasted upon them was handed to the magistrate. It was an ordinary bill of the Ilernton-street Sundarschools, announcing that a public meeting would be held, but on the top of the placard the following appeared in large let ters :--'t From 17,367 scholars in the north auxiliary 123 only had been admitted into the attache,. Above o 0 per cent. of juvenile crime, above 50 per cent. of the prostitu tion of the county are supplied from Sunday-schools -45,000 Sunday-school children annually become drunkards." There was a second bill of a larger description pasted upon the boards, and it ran as follows The present method of informing the inhabitants of Kensington of a religious service is adopted in consequence of the refusal of the dca- ' cone of Moreton-street Chapel to allow the annexed bill to be put on their notice board." The witness said there was no serious disturbance in' front of the chapel before Mr. Trotroan came out and broke the board. The prisoner walked up and down the street by the side of the kerbstone in the road, and nut upon the pavement. Mr. Martin contended thet there was no cite against the prisoner, as he was not upon the pavement. Mr. Beadon said it was a very foolish proceeding, as there were other means of calling persons together. He could not commit the boy, as there was nu offence coinnaitt..,d, the prisoner being at the time in tho road and not upon the pavement. The sergeant had acted very preperly in taking the boy into custody, as he might have been seriously in jured if he had not been taked out of the crowd. The prisoner was then discharged. Mr. Watson asked his worship if he could not proceed against Mr. Tisdell for having aided and abetted in the matter ? Mr. Beadon was of opinion that he could not in the pre sent instance, as it had not been proved that the boy bad committed any offence. It the boy had obstructed the con gregation, or prevented persons 'rout enterir.g the chapel, then Mr. Tisc:ll would have been liable. THE POLICE COURTS. THAMES. Janes Swanton, aged 18, James Carr, alias Caales, 19, (harp Chesney, alias Castles, 20, all well known, and mplest' thieves, with CestAsrina Macarthy and Mary prostitutes, were charged with highway robbery sml nearly strangling Mr. Bernard Jewell, who carries M the business of a tailor at No. 79, Rateliff. highway. This case wee similar jolts details to another serious rob bery and outrage committed by three villains on the person, of Mr. Kipling, so innkeeper, who was attacked in Sutton street, Commercial-road, on Tuesday night last, and nearly strangled and robbed of his money. One of the fellows was taken, and committed for trial by Mr. Ingham. Mr. Jewell's face was terribly bruised and swollen. His eyes were blackened, and there were marks of violence on Ida throat. lie is about 70 years of age. He stated that on Saturday night ho had been paying • visit to his brother, a furniture dealer in the Mile-end-mad, and wu returning home about half-past 12 o'clock. On reaching Neptune-street, leading into Ratcliff High way, and about one hundred yards from his own residence, he saw ten or twelve persons, among whom were the pri soners at the corner of the street. Cur wilfully pushed against him, and he went into the carriage road to avoid them, but the same man followed him up very closely, and some other men also came after him. He had reached to within two doors of his own home when Carr same behind him, put his two UM tightly round his neck, dragged his head back end compressed his throat in such a manner that he could not breathe. He at once suspected it was the in tention of the thieves to rob him of his gold watch and gold chain, and he kicked out and struggled in the best way he could, on which the tall man, Chesney, struck him several tremendous blows with his clenched fists, and he was won covered with blood. One man held his shoulders while Carr held his head back, and he was in great agony. He heard his chain snap, and felt it go, and he became almost insensible. The thieves took sway his chain, threw him with violence on the ground, and le ft him. They could not get his watch. He was unable to pursue the thieves, and he had been very ill ever since. ' In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the prosecutor said he was quite sober, and that he did not indulge in in toxicating drinks. Ile was sure Carr pulled his head back and that Chum punched him. He did not see the girls near him when he was robbed. Mis gold chain weighed an ounce and • half. John Sullivan, a little rough-looking Irish boy, a vendor of Lucifer matches, who displayed very extraordinary in• telligence, said, "Your worship, I saw all this transaction, and a bad one it was. I observed the old gentleman pass ing along, and I saw the two young women then talking to the three young men beside them. I thought they were atter no good, and I listened to what they said: one of them asked me what I was listening to. 'To sell my matches,' says I. Well, air, the three men and another man followed the old gentleman, and tackled kiln, and that one (pointing to Can) drew his head back with his arms and almost choked him outright. The other one (pointing to Chesney) punched the old gentlemen's face as hard as he could ; end the first one (Swanton) then pulled his coat tails. I was afraid to say anything because I thought they' ' would kill me, and I am only a small boy, air." Mr. Yardley—Where were the two girls while this was helm( on h ivan—They were lath away, standing close to the Ship public-house. Just before those fellows tackled the old gentleman one of them told the girls to go home, and said " We'll be home soon after you ;" and the short girl (Marshall) said, " Won't we have a merry drop of gin to- morrow.' Foay, No. 7 11, said that Williams and Castles, who gave the names of Carr and Chesney, had been repeatedly convicted, and were constantly associating with the two women. Mr. Yardley said that migt t be, but it was proved that the girls left the other prisonen ' and were away while the robbery was being committed. lie discharged the women, and reminded the throe men for a week. 161.C0y, of the kt division, said that the mother of the boy Sullivan had done all is her power to prevent her son coming forward to give evidence, and had abused him at the dour of the court. Yr. Yardley directed Foay, who had charge of the case, to look after tlu boy, whose testimony wea valuable, and who had given his evidence in a very straightforwaid manner. If the boy's mother made any attempt to obstruct the course of justice she must be taken into custody, and if brought before him, and the cue WAS made out, she would meet with severe punishment. It was then arranged that the boy shorld be properly cared for away from his mother's house until the next ex amination. 11A?dMERSMITII. Cliarks lloberley, 17 years of age, was charged with having causuel an obstruction in a public thoroughfare by placing himself in front of Illornton•strect Chapel, Ken. sington, with boards suspended from his shoulders, upon which wore some printed placards alleged lobe of an offen sive description. Sergeant Davis, 20 T, deposed that about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning last ha saw the prisoner walking up and down the street, opposite I'hillimore-place, with the boards in question suspended from his shoulders in groat and behind him. lie ascertained that the boy was employed • _. by Mr. Tisdell, • dyer, of No. 5, Church sheet, Kensin too, and he accordingly waited upon him, and told him that if hams Ma.

COTTON.—Liveurotn., DEC 20.—The sales to-day are estimated at 5.000 Sales, and include 50 l'isnam and Ma ranhao at 6fil. to 7d.; 200 Bahia at 0.1. to 61d.; 400 Egyptian, Gfd. to 10d. ; and 500 Surat at 31d. to 4iel. The market closes tamely but steadily. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds are little, if anything, changed. The accounts per America to the Bth inst. from the States show the excess in the receipts of cotton to be very much on the increase, and prices had fallen materially, just as much as freights had risen and exchange gone dowa. These advises have not produced auy marked effect here to-day. CATTLE.—NOIMIAXPTON FAIR, Dee. 20.—This im portant fair was a undant with stock of all kind , and the quality of the animals disposed of fully = l int lar d the cre• slit which this county has obtained for its breeding of live stock, and afforded the agriculturists a fine opportunity of improving the breed of both cattle and Sheep. There was a numerous attendance of buyers. The different lots were keenly contested, and about two thousand ewes and wethers of the Leicester and Lincolnshire breeds were disposed of at a considerable advance ; ewes as much as 35. to 45., and wethers from 5.. to 6,. per head over the prices obtained at the November fair. There were many well bred tops, which made high prices. With regard to store Beasts, they were animals of superior quality such as are cot often met with at this time of the year, which tempted buyers to lay out their money freely; the late high prices were well supported, and all were sold, escept a rough let or two of Irish *titles. Mitch and in-call Cows were easily disposed of, prices ranging from 181. to 221. per head. Some splendid Heifers, of the Yorkshire breed sold at 161. each. - COALS.—Lontiox, Dec.

JAMAICA MARKETS. KINGSTON, Nov. 26. (From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) Business his remained inactive since our issue of the 20th, eltbough the market is better supplied than it was at that date. In fa.lt, there is nothing doing except by retail; the state of the roads in the interior, and the impossibility in many instances of maintaining the usual communication with Kingston, in consequence of the rivers being swollen by the prevailing rains, having for the present interrupted the transmission of orders front the country. In almost all of the agricultural districts, the weather continues terapes. times and destructive to the growing crops. We hear of provision grounds washed away, coffee fields beaten down, and cane pieces carried off by mountain torrents, and, we regret very much to add, of the continuance of a virulent typo of smallpox in St. George, St. Mary, and some dis tricts of St. James. The sugar crop will be very late this year, it being impossible to put the mills about under the distressing circumstances above stated. Notwithstanding the apparent increase in the quantity of pimento exported from Jamaica, in 1852, as compared with that of 1851, we are prepared to show that the antici pations of a large deficiency in the current year's crop have been realised to their fullest extent. From 10th October, 1851, to the same period in 1852, the quantity shipped from the several ports of the island was 3,438,80311 m., in the cor responding period of 1850-51, there were exported 4,524,06210. These are the figures given in the table of exports published in this number of the Intelligencer, but it would be impossible to arrive at a correct estimate of the extent of the crops of the two years from the table—the returns being prepared without any reference thereto, but merely in regard to the quantities exported during the financial years ending respectively on the 10th Oc tober, 1851, and 10th October, 1852. We there fore consider it necessary to append the quarterly statement of exports, and to endeavour to show as cor rectly as possible, the actual extent; of the pimento crops of 1851 and 18.52. We may safely assume that no portion of the crop of any year can possibly be brought to market before the month of Jul 7, and it may, consequently be concluded they the exportation of pimento grown and cured in 1851, did not commence until that month. The following state ment will, therefore, show its actual extent :—July, 18.51, 360,6421b5. ; August to October, 1,675,4861b5. ; November to January, 18.51.2, 2,003,9311b5. • February to April, 1852, 1,586,7121b5. : Total, 5,608,7711 b;. As regards the crop of 18.52, we find that there were shipped in July, 552,1051bs ; August to October 10th, 1,314,0551 be. : T o tal, 1,866,0161 he Subsequently to the 10th of October the exports have reached 10,015 bags, or 1,000,000 lbe.; and there are now two vessels on the eve of departure from St. Ann's for Philadelphia and New York,with 2,000 bags, or 200,0001b5. more. These figures will give us a total of 3,066,160 lbs., which is a decrease against the crop of 1852, as compared with that of 1851, of 2,542,611 lbs. With reference to the quantity which has yet to be exported of this year's growth, all the information we have received warrants us in asserting that it will not exceed 8,000 bags, or 800,00011. ' • and that quantity will reduce the deficiency to 1,742,611. lbs., or about 17,000 bags. It must be remarked that the favoura ble prices ruling in England and the United States for pimento, created a great anxiety on the part of growers to bring their crops early to market, and even had the crop been an average one, there would not have been by any means as large a quantity on hand at this period of the year as has been usual on other occasion,.
