This was to action by Mr. James William Wallach against Mr. Benjamin Webster, the lessee of the Hay market Theatre. to recover sneers of 'Wary upon an en gagement for the season of 18.11, and the only plea was Meyer indebted. Mr. Charles liemble, Mr. Wallach, Mr. Webster, and several other gentlemen of high standing in the theatrical world wire in attendance in connexion with the ease. Mr. Serjeant ilyles, Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Nt onlsworth, were fur the defendant. Mr. Sat ennt Myles opened the else, and stated that the plaintiff mas a native of England, and his name was of inane familiar to those who trequenteel theatres, for he had as merle of Are it celebrity on the stage. In early Me th* plaintiff went to America, but he came to England to be educated, and again returned to America. where he not unnaturally followed the proleesion of sac actor, and played at all the meat important theatres iu America. Ile ques tioned whether at On. mennent there was any other place In the wend when, there was in) large a field for the race else of the talents of so sews' as in America. The best of all writers, Shaltpeen, was as much read and quite as much appreciated the re as in this counts'', for Peadenoono and &kik Ilmodet, &Work, Falatof, and f'isioi were not mortals like us, they lived in America as well as here, and would routine to live se long as the vast water floods and everlasting hills of that country centinued. Early iu 1850 the proprietor of the Haymarket 1 liertre desired to engage ionic first rate the..trical t dent, more especially as Mr. V. Kean had taken a neighbouring theatre, and the Ezhibition was to be opened in tin following 'ear, when it was en peeled that, in the theatrical world especially, fortunes would be mule. Viol. r these circumstances, Mr. Webster Wrote to Nlr. Willa,', on the 24th of May, 18.50, and a cot.. tespondenee monied which ended in the agreement upe• which this action was founded, that Mr. Webster should give the plaintiff 301. per week from the lst of February. 18.51, during the season. One of the letters read was trees Mr. Webster to Mr. Wallach. sea., and was in these tense : "My dear Wallaek.—lf you see your son from America Won I do. tell hi^t I quite approve of his notion of being advertised so Mr. William Wallach. 1 should have written to him to that elf. et, !but illness and the uncertainty where to address him prevented me.

The learned serjeant was about to continue his •tatement r and to detail the circumstances under which hi. client claimed damages, when he was interrupted by Mr. Watson. who stated that he hail succeeded in etfecting an arrange ment by which all differ. aces between the panics would be settled. The terms were that a verdict should be en tered fur dekif., and that all further proeeediags in this action, and els) in another action which had been eons mowed, should be stayed.

Mr. Watsou hiring replied, Mr. Boren Martin summed up; and the jury returned a verdict fur the crown. _ . _. _ _ . • The court then proceeded to try the cause of Brandon v . Sewell and another, which was an interplcsder issue. The detsiLs of the case were of no public interest. Upon the neat cause bring called on there were only three jurymen in attendance, the jury in the preceding case having gone out to consider their verdict. Mr. Boron Martin said that there had been twelve eases put down in the day's list besides the revenue case. and only two hod been tried, the parties in the remaining ten cows. therefore, would hove sill to attend again tomorrow. It was not the judges who suffered trom this delay, occa sioned by the essence of jurymen, but the persona inte rested in the various erases. The court then rose. I:1 STOI. 1 n ST It ICI COU HT OF BANKItUPTCY. Israel forrionossa Ms. Stamm' RE WILLIAWS AND WILLIAMS.—TIIII Newroltr OLD BANE. The adjourned meeting for last examination was held yesterday (Friday) and excited a very unusual amount of Interest, especially among members of the legal profession, by whom the court was crowded. It will be remembered that at the last sitting the learned commissioner expressed his opinion that the assignees ought to appoint new solicitors to the flat, the ground of this opinion being that Mr, rrothero, of the firm of Prothero and Fox, of Newport. sad Mr. Severe, of the firm of Savery, Clark, and Co., of Bristol, tke two Pets of solicitors jointly employed, were connected by relationship with the bankrupts, Mr. Prothere being first cousin to one bankrupt's wife, and Mr. Screery uncle to the ether bankrupt's wile. Ilis Honour imputed nothing to those gentlemen, but held that, in principle, the connexions of bankrupts were not the parties who aught to be employed to sift the accounts of bankrupts, and it might be to oft r matter against them when they applied for their certificates. The maignees, in reply to the court, expeeastel themselves satisfied with their legal advisers, and refused to withdraw them or themselves to retire from the assigneesbip. At the meeting yesterday the representatives of the two firms again appeared, as dad also Mr. Stone, barrister of the western circuit. His Honour inquired of Mr. Stone whether he was in structed by the same attorney. Mr. Stone said, in the first place he had to state on the part of the assignee., that they had ecrefully examined the accounts of the bankrupts and were satisfied with them. In the next place, standing there ai he did for the assignees, and of course in-trusted by the solicitors to the assignees, he hail most respectfully to submit to his Honour that he had no jurisdiction in the matter, unless there was some thing in the conduct of the solicitors prominently incorrect, or unless some circumstauce arose which his Honour should control. Ilia Honour rid he was not aware that counsel had any sight to be heard upon the question, but as he was not de• skims that the matter should go off upon any informality in having refused to hear counsel, he would consent to hear Mr. Stone, although as the right of counsel to be heard was not clear to his mind, he must be understood to do so under some sort of protest. Mr. Stone said, if the solicitors had no right to he there be of course had en locus standi. His Honour said he did not say that the appointment was void, ah iintio, in which cue, of course, he could not hear Mr. Stone; what h. meant was this, that haring re4ard to the nature of the question, it was not one upou which counsel had a right to be heard. Mr. Stone said he should, °trouts., hew with profound respect to anything which his Honour suggested. Ile would only ask his Honour it he made any order to make it in such a shape that it could he taken before the Vice-Chan cellor. The sohoiton naturally telt great delicacy in opposing his Honour's views, but when the course which had ban pursued cast more or Ices reflection upon them — His Honour disclaimed any intention of casting the Wit reflection. Mr. Stone did not say that it was his Honour's intention to do so, but such was the natural conclusion. Laxities back for precedents, he found the relatives of bankrupts appointed assignee*, provided that they had not iseeindi antagonistic to those of the creditors. Ilia Honour—Do you find that the point has been raised? Mr. Stone -I do oat know that the appointment bes ever been objected to. His lionuur—Perhaps not. Every one might not take the objection. Mr. Abbott, for the bankrupt, submitted, apart hem the question of solicitorship, that their accounts being natio factory to the assignees, and they having complied with the statute, ought to be allowed to pass. His Honour inquired whether the official assignee was so satisfied as to co ler it expedient that they should pass. Mr. Acraman said the accounts were very satisfactory, as were also the books. Hie Honour said he must of course take the opinion of the elleial assignie as referring to the accounts placed before ; that ex facie he saw nothing upon those accounts, wed, es far as anything had met his eye, the bankrupt wee entitled to pus. But there were a great many points whit.' it might be necessary to investigate in regard to the cote duet and proceedings of a baukrupt which the Aide? Ms riper, excreising however much vigilance, would bra as to den et. The more he reflected upon it the =Ma M wax convinced that having as solicitors men who MOO Illinartrd by relationship with the very men whose km duet was to be inquired into was essentially wrens, and cow trary to the hest interests of justice. Whether he had the power to redo NI the matter was another question ; but, upon that piles he was prepared to take the responsibility. It appeased to him that he had such power, and the rather Mews the assignees were not simply and merely trustees he the creditors. It might be urged that being trustees for the creditors, they considered it hatter for the interests of the creditors to employ their present solicitors than M' I employ others wholly unconnected with the beatniks. Considering the asei nei s as simply in the position d for the creditors that might be urged, alt even then he thought it ought not to prevail : but, in 1 : 6 4 the amigners did not stand simply in the capacity of trees ter of the particular interests of the creditors. In the judgment th, y were likewise quasi trustees for the public interests, and it was their duty to inquire whether the conduct of the bankrupts throughout their trans actions bad or heed not been such as to entitle them W the benefit of the bankruptcy law,. And further, if those assignees found that it had not been such it would be their duty to canoe forward and urge upon the court that the case was one in which having a regard to the interests of public justice a certificate ought not to be granted. It this view of the case was right, was it to be endured that the interests of the public were to be committed to persons sesseeted with bankrupts by ties of relationship to their wives Was it to he endured that the conduct of husk ✓epel should be checked. and the rights of the public eh& sated, by parties so situated? If it could be thought dist anything he said reflected on the characters of gentlemen whom he unfeignedly respected, he should feel = pain; but, even in that case ho should nothing to do but attend to the strict line elf his duty. He would say, however, that no retleethm was intended direct or indirect. He was sure from vibe he knew of the personal character. of the parties, that Vita would not deliberately deviate from their duty even is favour of their relatives, but at the same time he could net forget that they were men, and that human nature was fabi lible, and that one of the frailties of our nature was that could not form a firm judgment in coaaidering the conduit of those with whom we are connected. But even euppookig the gentlemen in question to be free from those infirmities, still there was another point. Not only ought the &denials tration of justice to he pure, but it ought to be above the reach of suspicion. While he stood upon that point while swim the merits was firm ate a rock his course was deers It might be that he had not the power, and from the app. cities so respectfully offered, and which he believed net he offered other than upon public grounds, he pm= that the assignees thought otherwise. Mr. Stone said they had the opinion of a most eminent counsel. His Honour said it might be so, but he would ereee yield to each en opinion till it had been confirmed log re highest possible authority. Ile felt himself imprepeke he point of right in saying that such appointments ought ilk to have been made, and when made ought not to stead; and having looked into the case, he entertained good hope that he should not prove more wrong in point of law thee in point of right. That court was presumed to have power over solicitors who were even said to be officers of the court. The assignees were to protect the public interests; for if not by them, those interests would not b protected at all. 'lbis was his view, from which he would not be driven unless by the highest authority, and therefore without the slightest pereonal feeling, he would vindicate what he conceived to be his rights and the public interests, by making an order that the assignees do with all conve nient dopateli change their solicitors. Some conversation followed between the learned counsel and the court as to the must convenient form of making the order so as to bring the matter fairly before the supe rior court, and an adjournment till Monday was finally agreed upon. arr;umos banco.—Bluvaz M. 8..

If this had been as ordinary ewe, the , mat would have confined itself to merely ezionsasug its opinion, but in this case there win invu:ved a question of so much importance with respect to the cones of hauliers as regarded cheques of this deecrip• bon, that it was deemed right to state with some particu larity the nature of the puint at twee between the parties, and to which the attention of the Jury, upon the new trial, should be called.

There was also • coma for money lent as to which the defendant pleaded plum ut, and upon the oth, r issues arising upon those two i leas, the parties rested their rase respectively. The objection ea the ground of iniselintrion was abandoned the del:outlast, who then contended that the verdict on the first count, and on the plea of p quaint to the second count, was aganwt the evidence.

The circumstances under which the offence was committed were very peculiar, and, upon looking carefully at the depoeitions and evidence they had heard that day, ho could not help expressing an opinion that they had not heard the whole truth of what passed et the time of the traniniction. It appeared, in the course of the case, that the prisoner had money in his possession when he was in the house, and as none was ("nod upon him when he was taken into custody. it was difficult nut to believe that either by force or by fraud a robbery was committed upon him by some of the parties. Taking into consideration, therefore, all the circumstances, and likewise the verdict that had been delivered by the jury, he was not disposed to visit the offence with very severe punishment, and he considered that the justice of the case would be met by passing upon him • sentence of imprisonment and hard labour for 12 months.

Eleanor White, 21, spinster, was indicted for neglecting Emily Harriet White, her infant, so that she had died. The prisoner, a poor. emaciated looking creature, who seemed dreadfully affected at her position, pleaded not guilty. The facts of the case, which were but briefly gone into, were proved to be these:—The prisoner, who gets her living by sharing and washing, slid at the time of this occurrence occupy a b ids parlour in l'hirnix-street, Somers town, her boy, about seven yearn of age, and the subject of inquiry, an infant 6 months old, living with her. Her being much from home, the children were frequently left the whole day by themselves, which fact, coupled with her 'strew poverty, hail raised a strong supposition upon the part of the landlord and other people in the house that she wilfully neglected the children. On the Bth Dec. she went out about nine in the evening, and not coming home until 10 the next morning, the landlord in the meantime called in the police, and went into her room, and there found the boy huddled up in his day clothes on a bed of flock, and the infant on the floor, both apparently very ill from cold sod hunger. There was no fire in the room, scarcely any vestige of furniture. and the only common necesearies of life was some bread and dripping, and about • quarter of a hundred of coals. The children, who were both filthily dirty, wire taken to St. Patters/ Workhouse, and every care paid to them, but the infant lingered until the IRth, and then died from the diseased state of the me senteric glands, brought on from the want of proper nourishment, and cold. There were no marks of ill-treat ment on either of the children, and the boy, who is now in the poor.house, did not make any complaints of ill•treat went. have on credit ; but in about a fortnight after ho called and paid fur them, and this closed the account between them. On the 11th of December his new customer came to his door on horseback and smoking a cigar, and gave him an order fur a shooting suit, saying lie was ah•mt to 'inlayed to Gloucestershire to get u aunt of money which was coming to him. lie, applicant, believing his representation, exe cuted his order ' and sent home the cloths to the house of his brother-in law; but though he had since repeatedly applied for the amount, he could not obtain it, and his feeling for some days was that he had been regularly done. On that morning he, to his utmost surprise, heard that the customer, who had so well and so naturally enacted the character of a man, belonged to the female lea—that her real name was Sophia Celieea Pearson, and that she hod recently become possessed of a large sum of money, and had actually been married the day before to a young man, a clerk to a coal merchant, in Millbank-street, Westminster. The novel circumstance of such a marriage caused a gnat sensation in the neighbour hood, and the consequence was that an immense crowd had assembled in front of Mr. Rose's beer-shop on the bight before, and he (applicant) hail no doubt that his debtor would soon get out of the neighbourhood, and he should loss the price of his suit of clothes. Mr. Norton—What is it you require me to do in this matter) The medical gentlemen said that the child died of the di-ease that carried off great numbers of the children of the poorer dames. Me. O'Brien, for the defence, mid that the poor creature had done all that she bad the means of doing fur the children, and called several witnesses, who said she had always been most kind to her children, and given them all her miserably distressed condition would permit. The child that died had been sickly from its birth. It also further transpired that on the night in question she had been out all night nursing a sick woman. The jury immediately Acquitied the prisoner. Ilia Lordship said he entirely concurred with them in their opinion. STANDING. Mr. Roberta—Well, it strikes me that this person has oh. tamed my suit of clothe. under false pretence., by nne. 'tenting hinnell as Alfred l'rowne, when his real name was Sophia Cakes Pearson. Mr. Norton (wailing) observed that the applicant would have MIMI difficulty in satisfying a jury, under the novel circumstances, that the goods hot been obtained by false pretences, and asked the applicant if he had taken the measure of his customer for the clothes ordered ? Jahn Donovan, 50, shoemaker, who was convicted on Wednesday of feloniously stabbing George Cox, was now brought up for sentence. The circumstances of the case were somewhat remarkable. The prosecutor and prisoner slept together, and on the night of the 2nd of last month the pneecutor was awoke in the night by the prisoner who was holding him down on the bed sod stabbing him with a shoemaker's knife. Ile inflicted fourteen wounds, and would most probably have killed him hail not prosecutor's father been drawn to the room by his cries. Not any motive could be assigned as the reason for such an outrage, and the court respited the judgment to ascertain if the prisoner was sane. Mr. Justice Erie, in poising sentence, said that from the inquiries he had made, there was no reason to believe him to Ise insane ; and, although no motive could be shown for the set, it was evident that prisoner was a man who upon a sudden impulse of temper would not hesitate to use • knife, and it was of the greatest importance in a community like this that a check should be put to such practices. Transported for seven years. Mr. Roberts replied tnat he had not taken his measure for the first thing", as they had been selected ready made ; but fur the lust things he had taken his measure regu larly, and had never suspected the true sea of his customer. Mr. Norton—Well, 1 cannot see what I ran do beyond getting one of the officers of the court to call on the party, and recommend them to settle with you. One of the summoning officers of the court said that the party who had obtained the clothes front the applicant had certainly once (if not oftener) appeared at the court, and given his evidence as Alfred Prowne ; but he (the officer) had always had his own opinion—or at least his doubts—as to hisses. Mr. Norton observed that he could not do better than leave the singular affair between the porta* in the hands of the officer, win., he had no doubt, would do justice between the parties. MA RKETS.

Prisoners were also in front of the bar, and saw proaveuter's friend on going away return him his I rickets book containing all his money, having taken we of at during the few hours previous in consequence of prosecu tor's being in • partial state of inebriety. The prisoner Connor subsequently introduced himself to Mr. Ritchie in the adjoining coffeehouse, and rendered himself very ofli cious in fetching a cab, and afterwards obtaining • seat in aids for himself and for The prisoner WWII on the box by the driver. Connor had been heard to remark with an oath, on seeing the money, that it would be .. a fine haul," and that ho would not mind serving a drag (three months' imprisonment) for it," A policeman reminded him that it would be hardly worth while „ to throw himself away for a paltry eight sovereifrns," and Conner repeated that he would not object to serving • drag for it. On arriving at St. Paul's churchyard the cab stopped, prisoners got down, sad tedium the cabman that the gentle man inside would pay, made off as fast as their legs would carry them, when Mr. Ritchie immediately missed his pocket book. Information was given to the police, and in the course of the day prisoners were apprehended in Seven Dials, but none of the property was discovered. Two new hats were found at their lodgings, which they had just purchased, and changed • sovereign to pay for them, al. though Connor had been overheard saying be was very hard up, and asking a cabman for a penny at four o'clock on that morning, the same on which the robbery occurred. Connor had been tried at Clerkenwell for • similar robbery in • cab, and had since been in custody on the charge of stealing a watch. Watts had also been previously con vleted. The prisoners were then committed for trial. LivsitrooL, Fie. 6. The only mica to-day are : —Sugar 200 bags white Benares, al.. to 355. Linseed: 1,000 pockets Calcutta to arrive, 411.

Owing to the urgency with which the new landed cotton has been pressed upon the market, the buyers in some instances may have obtained a turn of advantage. There is nu such change, however, since Fri day last, as to call fur any reduction or material modifica tion in the scale of quotations. The extent of the crop in the United Static, to which very justly so much importance is attached, is gradually developing itself. The latest advice* from that country on this interesting subject, are !railing to the conclusion that in the first instance we may have rather overrated the amount. No one now looks beyond 21 millions of bales. Many valuable opinions are down to 2,600,000 bales and under. The first impression. however, formed at the beginning of the season is so far justified by what is already ascertained, that no one looks • for anything lees than a large crop as compared with pre vious years. We are ail aware that the production, be it more ur less, must be brought to the test of a comparison between supply and demand. Upon the subject of con sumption, whether in Europe or America, we believe there is nothing new. The premise is in favour of an increase, so long as prices remain somewhere about their present mode rate scale. The Committee of Brokers place fair Uplands at Sd., Mobile at Al., and Orleans at 50. 3,520 American, 1,240 Surats, 1,020 Egyptians, 230 Whig, mid 20 Perham, have been taken on speculation.

Manua Lambert, hair dresser, was charged with steal ing a watch and chain, value 101., the property of Mrs. Harriet Osborne, lodging-house keeper, of 11, Huntley street, Tottenham-court.road ; also, with obtaining money under false pretences. Prosecutria stated that on the fith of November lest, as she was passing through Tottenham-court-road, on her war home. there was considerable obstruction on the footway, and the prisoner, who seemed to know her, accosted her by name, with an offer to conduct her through the mob, and see her safe bonze. She accepted the offer, supposing that the prisoner had some acquaintance with her, although she could not recollect anything; of him. lie attended her to her house, No. 9, Warren-street, and spent the greater part of the evening with her. He renewed his visits, and ultimately made her an offer of marriap, which was accepted. She provided him with money to discharge other preparatory expenses. The banns were accordingly published, and a day appointed for the wedding; but in the meantime the prisoner represented that he owed about 1801., which he hoped to be able to pay off within three weeks or a month, and suggested that it would be better to defer the marriage until after that time, lest her property should be attached for his debt. She conse n t e d, a nd lived with him es his wife, in her own house, from that time till last Monday week, letting him have on different occasions sums of money amounting to nearly 601. On that day his real wife prmented herself with his child, and conse quently the prosecutria ordered him to leave the house. This he refused to do, acid violently assaulted her. lies fore he left the house he broke into the room where the watch was deposited, and took it away without her know ledge. Ile had since come to her house repeatedly, and annoyed her very much. She wished only to recover her watch, and to obtain protection from further annoyance. The prisoner, in his defence, said that the proaecutriz had given him the watch and chain. lie added that she knew he was a married man from the time that the mar rime was put off. Mr. Jardine having heard all the statements and recri minations of the parties, told the nrosecutrix that she heal acted very foolishly, end had herself only to blame. She could have expected nothing better than what she now complained of. But he advised the prisoner to give her up the watch, and her to give hint his clothes. If the prisoner, who must be discharged at present, gave her in future the slightest annoyance, he would Afford her effectual protection. The parties then left the ofßee LAMBETH.
