He had hove a partr.ersuip not unlj with Mr. Suumonds, who had cuteeeird him as seder-..haritf, but with Mr. Wood hewn sad the result was cor.sAttatile complexity in the recounts. The saliestor to the assignees at Witchester had thee tit Is: to retain his hooks :hi re, a proceeding which was •lase what irregular, though no doubt legitimate. Mr. Nicaulson, the olual assigust, bad applied for them to be g tot up; but they had only reached London roe day last haulLrupt had since been fully occupied in pre ;.aring eis list of debtors to his mate. About 1,44 kg. had already ti,en reeked from his household furniture, which .i ouiy valued at 1.2001. ; and &boat 200!. more was cted to he realisA. As this was a ease is, which • short laii.iiiennient would not be productive of benefit, they propoo-1 that it should Ls for three months. .We have frequently bad these cases of a.licitore fiefie• the court, and we always find • great nuailn.r of outstanding debts due to them. It seems to me to be the rite of solicitors, especial 4 when their affairs are getting bad, to postpone the maiiing out of their bills; and we always find that a long time is tscupied in posting up and tasking out those bills. As the is...istance et the bank rupt is most important in this (in the ease of a solicitor more so than in any other case), perreps the beet policy will be to continue his alt,wance for a month, and then see what proems. is made. Mr. Brackenridge said be believed the bankrupt would be of very great use. He was instructed by its assignee. entirely 11 repudiate the imputation, that any delay had been coin d he thcr not sending up the books. Mete a con TTTTT ben, it was ordered that the examination should be adj • for threlemonths, at the expense of the . state ; the miowernis to the bankrupt to continue, subject to (omit,r as to its amount at the next meeting.

Mr. (:attend, tor the ateasutes, opposed, and wished for farther accounts to be maderod. The bankruptcy was on the 20 . h of Au 6 ' oat, bat the firm had stopped payment two 'south. earlier , but the accounts ought to be brought down to the later period. It was observable that three years ago, the bankrupt was in a deficiency of about 4,000/., that he had sabseqsently expended a very large suns of money, and now owed to hie firm upwards of 6,7001. The matte were stated at 2,001. on the underwriting account; but it was modally to have the accounts to a later period, as in lb* later eel heavy lows might have seethed, endow; search ing inve.tigation was ueesoisry. Mr. Lawraace. for the bankrupt, said the main question wac one between Mr. Johnson and his partners. The books bad been very accurately kept, and every part ef the an couuto were couched. A quashes had been raised as to a Brea' part of the assets, whether they were joint or separate gout:. ; hat that was not now before the court. It might be ;ascertain whether the whole oldie 2,8541. would be realised; but the amount of assets would be takea into consideration by lb: aim' at the certificate meetieg.

From a prelimiirtry statement prepared by Messrs. Robin son and Knowles, it appears that the liabilities are about J,OOO/.; the asset!, depending .ga the result of consignments, are is yet martian.

I . ..dish as to try and brave me, yea will very soon see the effect of my :ensue on your husinese.—Youn to command, if you choose, JACKSON." The letter was written in • eehoolboy hand, and was badly spelt, and it appeased that immediately upon the prusecutria receiving it, she communicated with the police, sad two constables of the City force, named Bassett and Kder:ads, were employed to detect the writer, and by their directions • parcel was made op and addressed as directed, ' and sent to the Criterion coffee-shop in the Borough, and the two constables proceeded there on the Monday follow ing, in order to see if any one applied for it. In the eve slag the prisoner came to the coffee-shop and asked if a parcel had been left there for Mr. Jackson, and it was given to Lim, and as he was about to leave the shop, Babbitt went up to him and said that he had better give • rec.ipt, and he accordingly did so, and signed it in the name of Robert Wildsmith. Another lad who had aceompaeied the prisoner to the coffee-hoose, but who was proved to be ignorant of the nature of the transaction, was , also asked to sign the receipt, and the constables heard the • prisoner tell him not to put his right name. The prisoner was then taken into custody, and on arriving at the police station, he said that be had written the letter at the instiga tion of some man who was to wait for him at Kennington church to receive the parcel from bin'. The officers, upon hearing this statement, proceeded with the prisoner in a I Cat) to Kennington church, and arrived there about the time indicated by the prisoner as that made for the appoint : men', but no such person described by him could be found. The prisoner, it appeared, was an entire stranger to the prostcutrie, and she had never, to her knowledge, seen him in her life, until the time when he was in custody. A statement made by the prisoner when he was before the magistrate was put in evidence, which was to the effect that he had met some strange men who had asked him to write the letter, and who had, he said, " dogged his foot wells and breathed into his ear" until he consented so do so. He said that the man accounted for not writing the letter himself by stating that he had St. Vitus's duos in his hand, wh , cts p d him from holding a pen, and he de clared that ha had no ilea of getting • farthing of money fur himself when he wrote the letter. Gafford, in addressing the jury for the defence, re marked upon the extraordinary nature of the case, and the improbability that a lad ►ike the prisoner should have at tempted to extort money by means of such a letter as the one in question ; and he submitted that under WI the cir cumstances the jury might decidedly come to the conclusion that he hrd been made a dupe by some older and more de signing person. '1 he learned ledge having summed up, the jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict of Guilty, but recom mended the prisoner to mercy on account of his youth. His lordship made some inquiries relating to the prisoner, and ascertained that op to this time he had borne a very good character, and had been in a scrape of any descrip tion. _ _ Before sentence was passed, Kr. Justice Talfourd asked the prisnner whether he desired to give any explanation of his conduct. It was impossible to believe the story he had told, and he considered he was justified in saying, that if he chose now to tell the truth, and state under what eircum soirees he we. induced to write the letter, it would not do him any harm. The prisoned replied that he could say no more than be had already said. The statement he made to the magistrate was the troth. Mr. instate TaHoard said he was very sorry to hear the pris , cer say this, because it was quite clear that the story he told mat unworthy of credit. He had been convicted of • veryserioua offence, and he could not help eapressing his satisfaction that the respectable lady who had been sought to be made the victim of an inf.unous attempt at extortion had had the firmness to seek the protection of the law, instead of yielding to the menaces made to her. Offsnces of this description were usually visited with very severe punishment, and but for the youth of the prisoner, and his previous good character, and the strong recommendation to merry of the jury, he should have passed • much more severe sentence than he was about to do on the present oc casion. The sentence, under all the circumstances, he should pronounce was that the prisoner be kept to hard labour for six months, the lint and last week to be passed in solitary confinement.

The Court—flare you ever spleen to them upon the subject ? Witness—No. They knew I was awe,, of what kind of howe they were keeping. It w.es not my business to speak to them. Cross-examined—l have spoken to the prisoners, but not about the house. I have told them they would get into trouble some day or the other. I have had money from the male prisoner; but it was given me tc keep the girls out of the pass ge and from quarrelling and creating a dis turbance. I have had Se. per week from the male prisoner for that purpose. Sir George Carroll—Or in other words you were paid to give free access to a brothel ? Witness—l lave known the prisoners for the last twelve years, and have received that money during the whole of that time. _ Sir George Carroll—l suppose the parish authorities were not aware that you were receiving that money ? Witness—Well, sir, I mentioned it to the Rev. Dr. Russell. _ _ _ Inspector Howard—l drew the attention of the parish authorities to the house in question, by writing to Dr. Russell, who accordingly communicated with the church wardens upon the subject, and it appeared that Kilby, the beadle of the square had been receiving at Bret Ws. per week, which was afterwards reduced to 61. Whoa he did not get the money he used to stand in the doorway of the house, and refuse to let any one pan in until tLe money was paid to bins. Notwithstanding, however, that these facts have been laid before the proper authorities, the man still retains his situation as beadle of Devonshire-square. Mr. Lee, on the part of the parish, said the board of guardians have considered the subject, and think it better to allow Kilby to keep his office lentil the facts are proved against him us the usual r.rm. The Court—How long have you (Kilby) discontinued re ceiving this motley from the prisoners ? Witness—About a mouth ago I told the prisoner I would not receive any more money of him. Sir George Carroll-1 suppose you thought you were found out, and that was the reason of your becoming so suddenly scrupulous. The Court—Did you ever receive 10s. per week from the male prisoner ? Witness—l received Bs. for the duty I have named. The Court—Did you ever receive 10s.? Witness—Not for that duty. The Court—Did you ever receive 10s. for any duty ? Sir George Carroll—Answer the question. It's no use fencing it now, after having received the money for twelve years. Witness—l have ; but 2s. of it was for drink. The Court—flow lung did you receive 10.. ? Witness—About two or Gm? years. I n had any difficulty in getting the money, because the male pri soner used to meet me in the lien Jenson, in Houudeditch, and pay me. Sir George Carroll—By whom is this man appointed ? Mr. Lee—lie is sworn in by the Court of Aldermen as • constable, but he is appointed by the guardians. The Court (to Kilby)—Have you ever told the gentlemen wLo appointed you that this house was a brothel? Witness—No, _because they are all dead. The Court—Have you ever mentioned it to any one else ? Witness—Yea, about three years ago I mentioned it to Mr. Turner and Mr. Warwick, in Devonshire-square. Sir Ceorge Carroll—Since that time you have not said anything about it? Witnees—No, sir. The Court—Have yen any certificate of your having been sworn in ? _ Witness—Not for ibis year. Mr. Lee—How is that? The fee has been charged to the parish and paid. I shall see that it is enquired into. Sir George Carroll—There is a strong prima fade cue male out for a remand, but I am afraid the evidence of a man who had received bribes to neglect his duty for twelve years is scarcely to be depended on. Mr. Lee—The guardians are prepared to proeeea•e, bet I am afraid their intention will be frustrated by the collusion between the prisoners and the witness Kilby. The prisoners were then remanded, and Mr. Peneon of the " Ben Jenson," in Houndeditch, aad Mr. Harris, a plumber and glazier, of Beri.-marks, because bail in 1001.

The lattsof the ease, which occupied the court the whole day. were these :—Miss Richardson is a lady living under I the protection of some gentlemen, and has apartments in the house of Jagan, in Margaret-street, Cavendish. square. The prisoner Griffiths who works with Le Baigue, at the hones of 1.11 Bekne's brother, a chocolate maker, kept company_ with a girl wined Palmer, who was servant to Miss Richardson. Upon the 'Jai of June Miss Richardson weat to Ascot races, lea Cog the girl Palmer in care of the piste. On that day Griffiths came to see her, and about the middle of the day sent her out to get some beer. In the course of the even mg she (Palmer) missed the plate, but thinking her mis tress might have lathed it up, waited until she came home, and then it was that the discovery was made that, besides the plate having been taken, Miss Richardson's drawers had been broken open, and all that could be found) carried off. The g:r: Palmer and Griffiths were taken into custody at that time, but discharged ; but something coming to the ears of the police they. in f%ovembor, took the two prisoners, and at' Le Baigue's house fouled some of the missing plate and jewellery. One of the notes was also traced to have been paid away by Baipte, not only his handwriting to it' having been recognieed but he had paid it away in the name of Johnson, spelling it Jonhson. When this was found cut, and before he was in custody, some one with whom he had dealings was procured, who ask. d him to sign the name of Johnson, which he im mediately spelt Jcnhson. After they were in cus tody a note was sent to Boigue's solicitor stating that the property was hidden beneath a brick in the charcoal cellar of Mr. Le Baigue, the brother of the prisoner. This lever the solicitor to the prisoners forwarded to Mr. Lewis, the soli citor Inc the prosecution, sad then some more of the notes, sonic jewellery and a further portion of the property was found.

BOW-STREET. John Ashton was charged with stealing a valuable gold watch, worth 30 guineas, the property of Mr. W. B. Hodgson, 41, Strand. The prosecutor stated that he went to the pit of the Olympic Theatre last night, and, on leaving with the crowd at about half-past eleven o'clock, he found the prisoner pushing him unnecessarily in the passages leading to the street. He begged him to desist, upon which the prisoner offered him an apology, but continued pushing him. In a few minutes afterwards prosecutor, who was narrowly watching him, saw his gold watch in the hands of the pi. toner, who had not succeeded in detaching it from the chain. Witness immediately snatched it out of his hands, and then the prisoner ran off. Witness .pursued him into Houghton•street, Clue-market, calling out " Stop thief." Police-constable F 11 arrived opportunely, and followed the prisoner, who stopped suddenly, and said, "Don't in terfere, it's only a lark. The con s table . however, seized him by the collar until the arrival of the prosecutor, who immediately gave him into custody. The prisoner said to him, " It's not me, I assure you. It was the man who has just gone round the corner." The prisoner now repeated the assertion that it was another party altogether," but Mr. Jardine committed him for trial.

Refiners' produce is without change; the lower descriptions of crashed, and good pieces are in demand, but the latter sorts are neglected. Rum is without inquiry.—P.S. A cargo of 2,000 boats of Havannah, about No. 16, has been taken Cm this port, at 21s. 6d. floating. WOOL.—LtEns, Duc. 2.—There has this week been rather more inquiry for Lincolnshire wools, which are scarce, and prices are rather higher in consequence. Other kinds of wool are without any change of importance. METALS.—Mr. Moate's circular •tatea that— Rails are very firm. Scotch pigs may be quoted at 78s. (or mixed numbers. Staffordshire iron has au upward ten dency. Welsh bar iron : a good business doing. Spelter : Several hundred tons have changed hands at 231. to 23/.135. ; the market 1 off firm. CORN.—CIiaLMSFOILD, Dac.2.—There was rather morn wheat offering to-day at our market; a large proportion much out of condition. Prices of all descriptions must be quoted Is. to 2s. per qr. ►ower. Wheat, red, 709. to 749. ; white, 731. to 765., both new and old. The market closed very dull. Barley in good mind", and Is. lower on line qualities, and 2s. on secondary, 2is. to 455. Beans much out of condition, and Is. cheaper. Ltscucs, Dec. 2.—Our farmers brought a good supply of wheat to our market today; last week's pekes were demanded, hut ultimately a small trade was done at 2s. decline. A large show of barley and a slow trade at Is. to 2.. below late rates. Oats and beans same as last weak. Wheat, red, ios. to 73e. ; white, 735. to 7Gs. Barley, 345. to 41s. Oats, 289. to 30s. Livestrooe, Dec. 2.—At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade and some millers and dealers from a distance, and a moderate business was done in wheat and dour at a decline of 21. to 3.1. pi r 701 W., and Is. to Is. Gal. per barrel; good American white wheats having been sold at 10s. to 10s. 2.1. per 70161., and flour at 345. per barrel for Western Canal, and 35... for Balti more and Philadelphia. Oats and oatmeal met with a very slow sale, and must be pioted Id. per 45Ibs. and Gd. per load lower. Barley and beans were offered on rather easier terms, with little effect. Indian corn was quite negVete el, although a concession of Is. per quarter, would willingly have bun mode by holders in order to progress with sales. Towards the close there was rather more tone in the market.

WAKEFIELD, bac. 2 —Our arrivals of wheat continue unprectdeetly small, but, us several of our local millers supply themselves from Liverpool, attracted by the low price' , of that port, consequently our oemand is extremely limited, and we have to report a further reduction of 2-. per qr. oar all descriptions.

The Meridian loft Gravesend on the lth of June last, with cabin passengers, steerage passengers, and a valu able cargo, for Sydney, New South Wales. She was a very line vessel of her class, A 1 at Lloyd's for thirteen years, and only a year old. On the aight of the 23rd of August a heavy gale sprung up, ana the captain catered hie ceurse, and bore up fir the island of Amsterdam instead of St. Paul's, which he wished to sight, in order to correct an error which he imagined might exist in his chroosineter. The gale increased the text day, and the weather was very thick, but the course steered E. by S. enabled the vessel to go freely before the wind. A few minutes before seven o'clock a sea struck the vessel, and partially inun dated the %awn decks, after which the captain ordered the course to ba altered to E. About 7 p.m. the ship struck on the island of Amsterdam. The captain, upon the first alarm, rushed up the poop stairs, and was swept oil by u sea almost immediately afterwards. The situation of the second cabin passengers was distressing in the extreme. Almost as soon as the ship struck, large quantities of water poured down the hatchways, and the cabins on the lee side of the 'tweets decks filled so last, that it was with the utmost difficulty that the passengers got over to the starboard side, where they remained for more than two hoists up to their waists in water, mod many of them h tying no other cover ing than their night clothes. The vessel parted in two tit the after hatchway. The poop. however, remained entire, and afforded some kind of shelter to the majority of the passengers, till it was deemed safe to attempt a passage to the shore. This was safely effected by six o'cloek on the following morning. For two nights the men and most of the women and children lay down on the bare rocks, with no other covering than the clothes in which they stood upright, but providentially they bad been supplied as soon as they landed with abundance of new flannel and red and blue serge shiru, which formed l.art of the cargo, and were cast on shore. On the third day after the wreck a general move was made to a point about a third of a mile distant !rota the wreck, where it had been bound practicable to ascend the cliff, nu the top of which tan encampment was formed, and a signal post erected, with two red shirts and some yards of a liite flannel to serve as a Hag. Most happily for all, on Monday, Sept. 5, when there was only cabbage enough remaining for a single day, and water was only procurable at the distance of a mile—a distance which it was impossible for many of them in their exhausted and emaciated state to have walked—they were taken off by Captain Ludlow of the American barque Monmouth. On board of this ves,.l they receivea every attention that a large-hearted benevolence could suggest, and they rcic! ed Mauritius just three weeks after they had been ten tied from a triple death by drowning, cold, and carvatioa. RUMOURED 1.03 a ui AN I:MR..I:ANT SlllP.—On Monday night, bets c. u ten aid eleven o'clock, a screw steamer, supposed to he the Marshall, of Hull, came into collision with the barque Woodhouse, of Hull, near thu Newman' Float. The Woodhouse was considerably da maged, being struck twice, and one of the bands, a young wan nutted Edward Lurn, fell overboard while screwing nne of the chains, and was drowned. The steamer was nut seen afterwards, and it 14 feared she immediately sank ; but whether she did so or not we are at present unable to state. The Marsha:l, we believe, had on board a large cargo and about a hundred and fifty emigrants, and was due at llnA oa Monday, but has not yet arrived, and we fear that there some truth in the supposition that she has sunk.— Eastern Count", 11,yald. .....

EARL FITZWILLIAM'S ANNUAL FAT STOCK SALE.- This important and extensive sale of fat stock took place at the farm at Wentworth Woodhouse, near the Yorkshire seat of the noble earl, on Thurad ty afternoon. The attrirl• ante of farmers and dealers on this occasion was very I age, and tho business trans-tacit proportionately spitted. It was remarked that the sheep were not so fat as those sold here last year, but they were in good condition, and much more saleable in the butcher's hands than if they had been larger. The bidding was so spirited that in abOut half-a:1- hour the whole were disposed of. A pen of rive half bred Southdown wethers was knocked down to a Mr. Ellis. at 60s. per head ; and another pen of the same number at 50e. per head. The other pens ranged from 395. to iSs. per head. Of the gross number of sheep, 300, the 'verve was 424. 61. per head. Two much-admired stall fed heifers were knocked down, one fur 371. 10s., the other for 35/. All the rest fetched prices varying from 161. to 25/. The beasts realised altogether higher prices than have ever beta obtained in this part of the e.,untry before. _ . _ _ _ . - - [Advertisement.] lOLIA iW.IY'S OINTMENT AND Pico c rrtcrVAL alalian AS Mk t weal Elo Snitk Leos.—Fitraetoi a letter front Mr. Mienrie. 41 Inburtry ' 51ontr go hay, filtnalea, dated Sept. 25, 1851, to Mr. Atelhado, agent for that district :—.• Deat —You may no doubt be eurprised at the numerous rails I make apart you for /iollowaybi Pills and Ointmer.t.
