Mr. JUAIAH WtLsorr moved a resolution awaTding 100 guineas to Mr. Ayrton, the secretary, for his valuable ser vices in transacting the business of the company. Mr. PlittllT hose the strongest testimony to the efficiency , and value of Mr. Aytron's services, and seconded the reso lution, which was carried unanimously. Captain Salami moved that the salary of Mr. Wat kins, a clerk in the company, should he Lased from 801. to 1001. a year. This resolution was seconded by Mr. Josiah Wilson, and carried unanimously, with a special proviso that the advance was to refir only to the individual, and not to be drawn into a precedent, nor to entitle him to su perannuation. Messrs. Shadbolt and Ilutchinson were then re-elected as directors. The latter gentleman in returning thanks announced to the meeting that the directors had in contem plation a project for converting the shares into stock. but that a special meeting would be summoned for its conside ration, and the matter would be left entirely in the hands of the proprietary. The meeting terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairmen. MARAQUITA AND NEW GRANADA MINING COMPANY. Yesterday a special general meeting of the share holders in this company was held in the London Tsvern, for the purpose of receiving a statement of the company's pro ceedings up to the present time, of declaring a dividend for the half-year, and authorising the issue of the remaining 60,000 shares of the company's capital in conformity with the deed of settlomcnt. Mr. J.D.PowLus in the chair. . The CH AIRMAN' said that, although the time for holding the ordinary haltyearly meeting would not arrive till June next, the directors thought it right to call the shareholders together for the purposes stated in the advertisement. The expectation which had been held out at the time of the formation of the company that they would be able to de dare a dividend at the end of the present mouth was, he was happy to say, realised. The expenditure at:the Hama° Mines for the half-year from April to September was 16,9511., and the receipts 23,3131., leaving a balance in favour of the company of 6,3521., and everything was going on in • satisfactory manner. The Santa Ana Mines did not present so favourable • result, not from any failure of the mines themselves, but because of a great drought which :prevailed and prevented them from being properly worktd. The cost at the Santa Ana mines was 50,957 dollars The amount of silver realised was, by the mint at Bogota, 47,310 dollen ; and there was a further quantit? of ore not reduced which was estimated at 18,706 dollars ; co that the receipts were 65,957 dollars against 50,857 expended, leaving • boletus, of 15,000 dollars. But in proposing to make now the first half-yearly divi dend, they threw out of consideration the profits of the Santa Ana EMU"; for however correct the estimate might be, they would calculate in declaring the dividend only what had been actually rea li sed in London. (Hear, hear.) The hal f- 1 y dividend ae„ Is. per share would ab sorb 5,0001 . of the surplus, an d there was in addition IO per cent. to be appropriated for a reserve fund. He had also to call the attention of the shareholders to the fact that a con tract had been entered into which would secure to them the produce of certain mines there, and gave them the hope that they wouldrget these mines themselves. This con tract would amount to about 10,0001., and would give them the opportunity of investing further sums on prudent principles. '1 heir agents had opened communi cations with the government of Bogota for the management of the mint at Bogota, their object being to introduce a copper coinage there which would prove very advantageous to them. The Chairman concluded by moving a resolution declaring • dividend of Is. per share for the half year. A SHARTHOLDAR wished to know if the entire number of 100,000 shares had been issued. The CHAIRMAN said that the entire number had been issued and paid for. The resolution was then pained. On the motion for issuing the remaining 50,000 shares of the company's capital in conformity with the provisions of the deed of settlement, • short discussion area as to whether it would be most advisable to call up the fall amount of each share, vis. 11., or only -is. or 10s., but on the chairman stating that his advice to the shareholders was to pay the full amount of the share, as they had objects in view which he could not more fully er.tcr upon at a public meeting, it was unanimously resolved to pay the whole amount, the new shares to be issued preferably to the existing proprietors. The CHAIRMAN stated in reply to questions put to him, that the expense of salaries was 1601. a year, and of office rent and taxes, 7751. The consideration of the question of remuneration to the directors was postponed so the ordi nary meeting. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings. DAILY WEATHER TABLE.

As it is proposed that this meeting should mainly consist of gentlemen interested in the progress of the above objects, from various parts of the United Kingdom, the attention of the conference is to be principally directed to the consideration of our own national policy at home and abroad, as it affects questions of peace and war, with a reference also to the character and probr. blo effects of the recent law for the enrolment of the militia. The following members of parliament arc enrolled on the list of those promoting this conference :—Messrs. George Hadfield, John Bright, Thomas Milner Gibson, Richard Cobden, Charles Hindley, Edward Dliall , J. B. Smith, W.

EQUITY COURTS.—YESTEILDAT. lissom Ties-Cminan.tea Tvanmi. TtlOttsON V. DANIEL.—Tita CLia OF Ilia DEPTTT DAY (Mail Mamas or LONDON. The facts of this case have been fully reported, the question in dispute being whether the day oyster meters were an immemorial body having the right to make rules and regulations among themselves, and to prescribe an equal division of the profits arising from the immemorial right which they possessed of shovelling, unloading, and delivering the oysters ; or whether the Corporation of Lon don had a right to consider them as its own subordinate cfficers, and to appoint upon terms inconsistent with the re gulations of the body. The corporation bad taken the , latter course, and the bill was filed by 16 of the body against the two thus appointed by the corporation, seeking an account of profits received by them, and an equal divi sion. The case was defended by the corporation, whose eject was stated to be to get rid of the fees demanded from the purchasers of oysters. His Honour, after going through the facts, said he was satisfied that the plaintiffs had established the immemorial right ; that the custom had been already established in " Layburne v. Crisp," to which the corporation were not parties, but to the expense of which they were proved to have contributed. He thought a body of this description might have the power of self-government ; =I that the obligation to perform the duties of the office was quite con sistent with the right to prescribe among themselves how those duties should be performed. He thought the corpo ration could not, as representing the yeomen of the water side, appoint upon terms inconsistent with the general regulations of the body. And there must therefore be an ac.ount, with a declaration that the monies received ought to be divided equally. The defendants have been allowed all sums properly paid by them for labour in shovel li ng, unloading, and delivering. FZICTICI UNDER THE 3i - Z - W ACT-8.

This being the first day of Hilary Term, the judges and Queen's counsel breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor, and the courts were not opened until nearly half-put 2 o'clock.

His Honour stated that it might be convenient for counsel to know that, owing to the necessity for attending at cham bers, he should, as a general rule, not take any fresh case after three o'clock, and rise at half-past three.

Lord Campbell, at the sitting of the court, said that the judges had that day signed a new body of rules, for regu lating the practice of the superior courts of common law at Westminster Hall. Their lordships had adopted the fol lowing plan, and they hoped it would be generally approved, viz. :—to abolish all the written rules, from the earliest periods, and upon this tabula rasa to set out a new body of riries for the uniform regulation of all the courts. The learned Mites had also prepared undue body of rules to carry out the intentions of the legislature in reference to the new Common Law Procedure Act, and is render the application of justice speedy ; but these, before they could come into operation, must receive the unction of the two Houses of Parliament. They would be laid before paHla meet on the 10th of February next, and in about three months afterwards, unless disapproved of by the Wide ture, they would come into operation. Strictly speaking, the body of rules, to which reference had been made in the first instance, ought to be read in court; but his lordship thought it would be unnecessary to do so at that time, as the rules would be printed and ready for all who desired to have them to-morrow (this day.) Lord Campbell then went through the bar; nothing, however, transpired of autlicient public interest to require a report. BAIL COURT.—YasTraDAL Srrnpos la limran.—Banat Ma. Razes Dui.

Mr. retersdosif moved for a rule calling on the defend-1 ants to show cause why the plaintiff should not be at liberty to inspect a policy of assurance effected on the life of the plaintiff's late husband for 3,0001. The defendants bad paid 2,0001., and the plaintiff had commenced an action against them for the remaining 1,01101., but the defendants had possession of the policy, of which the plaintiff had no co Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLF.AS.-YESTERDAY. drrrntoe ja tit:m.o.—Barons Cam Josnct 'WU, Ma. JtIPTICIi MAL LL, Ma. JUSTICE CAIIIMILL, AID UR. JIMICIWILIJAIII. EVANS V. EDICOMDI.—EXTELAORDINART PLEA or FRAUD, The plaintiff in 66 cue sited u trustee, under a deed of separation between the defendant and his wife, to re cover two quarters of an annuity due to the wife. The deed was dated the 11th of January, 1844, and the amount of the annuity which the defen da nt covenanted to pay was al. 191. 6d per annum. The defence to the action was contained in a plea, which stated that the defendant was induced to cuter into the deed of separation by the false and fraudulent representations of the plaintiff, who falsely represented that the defendant's wife, Emily Elisa beth Edmonds, was a person of virtuous, moral, and mo dest conduct and behaviour, and that he (the plaintiff) was also a virtuous and moral man, and a fi t and proper per son to act us truree under the deed of separation ; whereas these representations were false, inasmuch as the plaintiff had treacherously and perfidiously seduced her, and that be gat the deed from the defendant in order to enable him to have access to her. The cause came on for trial before the Chief Justice, at the sittings after last term in Middle. sex, when the jury found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., now moved for • rule to show cause why there should not be judgment non abstante vere ditto, or a new trial, nßoa the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. The learned counsel submitted that the plei we. no answer to the action, although upon the morality of the case he had nothing to say. The Chief Justice said there was no doubt at all that he seduced the defendant's wife before he got the deed. Mr. James admitted that there had been criminal inter course between the plaintiff and the defendant's wife ' • and that in an action brought against the plaintiff in May, 1845, for criminal conversation, he had paid 2001. under a judge's order, but since that time the defendant had regu hrly paid the annuity to the plaintiff as trustee. The plaintiff had no beneficial interest in the matter, for he was only trustee, the defendant's wife being costal que trust, and the plea alleged no misconduct on her part in obtaining the deed. This being so it was submitted that the plea did not contain a sufficient answer to the action. The Chief Justice.—lf it was not an answer it was cer tainly a very terrible state of things ; for Evans and the defendant's wife were living together, and the husband was keeping them under this annuity deed. Mr. Justice Mauls supposed the case was this—that Mr. Edmonds was very willing to give 59/. 19s. Bd. a year to have his wife away from him, supposing her to be very vir tuous; but as it turned out that she was not, he would not give that amount to keep her away. (A laugh.) Rule granted.

The bill had been en dorsed over to Morgan, the plaintiff, who was an hotel keeper at Abcrgavenny. The case we tried at Guildhall, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff ; but • rule was subsequently obtained to set aside that verdict, and the matter noir came on for argument. The Chief Baron had been reading his notes of the trial a short time, when be was stopped by Mr. James, who said there was eery probability of an arrangement being come to if the court would postpone the matter until the follow ing morning. Mr. Chambers said it would be most desirable to prevent the facts being again brought before the public, as they in volved some family matters, and there was another bill for 1,0001. given by the defendant to Rowlands on the same occasion. lle hoped the short delay proposed, and to which he was ready to assent, would afford an opportunity fey the settlement of both actions. The matter was then postponed. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—TEsTEWAY. biro= W. CoMMIMUON= n i IN az D. M. FORD.

This insolvent, an estate agent and road contractor, was opposed by Mr. Cooke for Al detaining creditor a Mr. Homersham. Mr. Cooke supported the application for discge Ac a co r rding to the insolvent's account he owed 1,1631., for which he had received consideration, and had 4,4201. owing to him, of which he alleged that 3,8141. were good debts. He claimed 3,5001. of Sir. Dames, the yor of the Phoenix Fire Office, as a commission of 6 per tent. on the sale of an estate' at Norwood for 65,0001. He alleged that Sir John Musgrove had been introduced by him to Mr. Mr. Daiwa, who had the estate to sell for another person, and that he was entitled to the per tentage. He said a Mr. Mapleton had offered him 4031. on the part of Mr. Daines, which he had refused. He (the insolvent) had brought an action against Mr. Dairies to recover the sum of 3,5001., but the action had not proceeded beyond the service of the writ. On a former °cesium fur ther evidence was required in respect of the and Mr. Daines now attended. Ile stated that he was employed by a lady named Smith, who now resided in Lansdowne-place, Wandsworth-road, to sell an estate at Norwood. The property was not sold to Sir John Mus grove, and as there was & suit in Chancery involving about 100,0001. of property, he claimed the protection of the court in the matter before be answered the questions. The Chief Commissioner told Mr. Daisies he was bound to answer the questions. Mr. Dairies proceeded to state on examination that Sir John Musgrove proposed to buy the estate. The insolvent did not bring Sir John. He (Mr. Dairies) was fearful that as there were proceedings he might damage the case. Mr. Cooke told him there were no criminal proceedings, and he was bound to give evidence. The Chief Commissioner thought there should be some reserve. Mr. Cooke reminded the court that the Act 48 Oeo. 111. settled the point. A witness was bound to answer all such questions. Mr. Daisies stated that the suit in Chancery by Sir John Musgrove was to compel the sale and the question to ascer taio, whether he was the purchaser. He (Mr. Daises) had never authorised Mr. Mapleton to offer the insolvent 4001. He believed Sir John Musgrove was introduced by Mr. , Mapleton through Mr. Jay, who was secretary of the Mo , notch insurance, of which Sir John Musgrove was director. He was confident be did not owe the insolvent the sum he had claimed. . -.-....--. Mr. Cooke said it was important to appoint an assignee to proceed with the action against Mr. Daiues, as if it was recovered all the creditors would be paid, and a large sur plus left. Mr. Nichols remarked that it was plain Sir John Mus grove believed he had purchased the property by the suit in Chancery. Some discussion took place respecting the appointment of an assignee to carry on the action, and the insolvent was MIDDLESEX SESSlONS.—Yzsnainer. Bwroas Ma. Plummer Aiwa', Amman Amos. PILESIENTMENT BT 11111 GRAND JCaY. In the course of the day the grand jury made the fol lowing presentment, which was handed to the court by the foreman : The grand jury, in closing their labours, would make the following remarks upon the cages that have come under their notice. There have been several charges of • compa ratively trifling character, and they would suggest that in all cases of such a nature, where there has been no previous conviction, the magistrates should deal with them summa rily, and not put the county to the expense of a prosecu tion. There have been two cues of assault in which the grand jury bare been unable to find true bills, owing to the absence of the parties assaulted—these parties being in one case the wife of, and in tho other a woman living with, the prisoner. Cues of this character the grand jury also think should be adjudicated upon by summary punishment. The grand jury rejoice to hear that there is a prospect of the grand jury being dispensed with, as they feel that the present system is of no real value as to furthering the ends of justice. The Assistant Judge said he could not entirely concur in the opinions expressed by the grand jury. Cues which might appear to them very trilling, or comparatively so, were really in many instances cases of magnitude. He then referred to the case of Kirby Patrick, tried before him on Monday, as illustrating this. That prisoner had received a sentence of two months more than the magistrate could have awarded, and but for particular circumstances the sentence would have been twelve months, although from the small sum he was charged with having stolen the grand jury might have deemed it a fit case to be disposed of by the magistrate. With reference to their remarks as to the non appearance of prosecutors in assault cues he might tell them, that the court could not compel their appearance, and could only entreat their recognisance, if they did not appear. He cordially agreed with them in that part of the presentment relative to the abolition of grand juries. On the grand jury bringing into court an ignored bill in a case of assault by a husband on his wife, the foreman said they could not find it, on account of the non-appearance of the wife, The Assistant Judge remarked that when these cases were decided by the magistrate, and the full penalty the magistrate could inflict, 1.e., a fine or a term of imprison ment, was imposed, a great deal of censure was cut upon them for passing over brutality in that way. That court could deal with them with much more severity, but when the magistrate sent such a case as the one under notice, for instance, for trial, the probability was that the wife was got hold of, and persuaded out of appearing, by which means the brute got off with impunity. Barone Ma. Mrnaum Jan Williams licalluy, 04, pleaded guilty to an indict ment, in which he was charged with having fraudulently obtained the sum of oar. from John Chapman, with intent to chest him thereof. . . The particulars of this ease appeased in the newspapers on Monday. The prisoner is a notorious victimiser of hotel and tavern keepers, his method of operation beim to run up a bill, and then obtain an advance upon a false cheque, out of which the bill was to be paid. He had been several times convicted of these offences, and was once tried and acquitted. He was now sentenced to one year's hard labour. He pretended to be very deaf, and begged that the sentence might be communicated to him in writing, which was done, and he left the dock apparently quite content. TILE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Cat/urine Taylor, a Irishwoman, who had a child at her breast, was ore Mr. Jardine with obtaining money end wearing apparel from two servant maids under the protease of " telling their fortunes." Mazy Digaam stated that she was in service at 2, Tart stock•street, Covent-garden. A few days age the prisoner came to the door with earrings for sale, and she took the opportunity of asking witness if she would like to have her fortune told for sixpence. Witness thought she should, and paid the woman twopence haltsosmay on account, but ale insisted on sixpence also. The poiseasr then told her a umber of things, and crossed witnifilis hand three times with the sixpence, after which she undo an appointment with her to call again two days aftuitards after °conking "the book of know e." Oa the eneeita of her second obit, the prisoner asiW vintage how soh Mr ai sul em be had, which she replied a half eeneelgia int a . The =said, " the mos yea have the bane tbe by her &teaks, laid the near, is has bead a minute or so, and then the prisoner took it hen ber, mad appeand to wrap it up in a pieta of blue paper, tying it round three times with a piece of enchanted string, and once more with a pisee of hair which witness had to pull from the lett side of her head, with her right hand. The woman next desired her to place the money in her bosom, on her right side. sad allow it to remain three minutes, after which it wee taloa cat= I and placed in the centre of a white hamainitiaf, was tied in four or five knots—each keel bait Italained by witness and the prisoner pulling the contend the bead kerchief with all their might. Aker this psMMm *bassi had to take off her garter, and have the handkerchief bound round her right leg for two hours. It was then 2 o'clock, and while the prisoner was tying the handkerchief to her leg, she predicted that witness would be married twice, and would meet with many misfortunes. The prisoner then told her fellow-servant's fortune and left the house, promising to return again in a few days. Precisely at 4 o'clock witness went down into the kitchen and took off the handkerchief ; and, after untying all the knots, she disco vered, to her dismay, that the half-sovereign and shilling had been changed to a couple of farthings. She confessed all to her mistress when she returned home, and was ad viaed to give a description of the woman to the police-in spectors at Dow street, which she accordingly did the same evening. Jane Gore, another girl in the same service, after corro• boating the above statement, deposed that she a.so con sented to have her fortune told. At the request of the prisoner she fetched her shawl, a shift, a petticoat, and an apron. The prisoner wrapped them up into a bundle and crossed it, and then placed some white powder in witness's lett hand and some black powder in her right boot ; after which she was to throw nine grains of salt into the dre, and wish three times. (Laughter.) Mr. Jardine—Were all the wishes to turn up. or only one? Winces—They were all to come true. She toad me to blow into the shawl nine times, and stick three pins into each corner of it. She then said that she should go away for 20 minutes, and during the interval I was to take a hair out of the right side of my head, and put it into a tumbler of cold water. I was also to cut off three pieces of toe nail, and throw them into the fire. (Roars of laughter.) When she went away she took the bundle of clothes to be " charmed." I did what she desired me to do in her ab sence, and expected her back again ; bat I never saw her again till last night, when she was in custody. Mr. Jardine asked the girls (who gave their evidence with perfect gravity) if they could read and write • They replied in the negative. Mr. Jardine—Row did the prisoner get into custody? inspector Mackenzie stated that she was brought to the police station for being drunk and breaking a window in Holborn, and her appearance corresponded so exactly with the description given by the two servants, that they were both sent for, and they at once identified her. The prisoner denied that she had ever seen the girls be fore, and kept up a whining appeal to the Divinity to estab lish her innocence throughout the examination. She called a man, one of her companions, who said he had ktswn her for 16 years as a respectable woman, deserted by her hus band, with four living children, and three lying dead at one time with the smallpox ; but he admitted that she got her living by travelling the country as a hawker of combs, &c. Mr. Jardine, after expressing his astonishment that such dupes could be met with in these enlightened times, sen tenced the prisoner to three months' hard labour. William Saunders and John Stack, two youths under 20, were charged with stealing a gold watch in the pit of the Olympic Theatre, on Monday night. Sophia Cox, of 75, Drury-lane, the prosecutriz, stated that she missed her watch at a few minutes past nine, having seen it just previously. At the tame moment she missed a led (Stack) who bad been tutting near her, and saw the other prisoner (Saunders) also leaving the theatre. She gave information to the constable on daty, and Saun ders was taken at once ; but Stack, who is known to the police, was not apprehended till one o'clock in the morn ing, by which time, of course, he had disposed of the pri Mper.riy. Jardine remanded both prisoners for further exa mination. WORSHIP-STREET. Witliem Balton, a journeyman blacksmith, w:.s charged with a municrons assault upon his mother, an infirm and aged woman, with a hammer, whereby her life had been seriously endangered. The comßlainant, who was is such a state of acute per sonal suffering as to require the assistance of two 'Akers to support her to the witness box, where she was scarcely able to give het evidence, stated that for a considerable time past she had provided the prisoner with board and lodging at her house in Wheeler-street, Spite Melds, and with the exception of an occasional scanty allowance from his weekly wages, he depended solely upon her for subsistence. On leaving home on the previous morning the prisoner directed her to have some cocoa in readiness for him at the time of his return, but not having the means of procuring fuel to light a fire for that purpose, she was unable to comply with his request. Between seven and eight o'clock in the evening the primmer returned home in a state of intexica tion, and finding that his expected meal had not been prepared for him, he burst open the door of her room, and after assailing her with the coarest vituperation caught up a large hammer, with which he struck her repeated blows about the head, arms, and every part of her person. After beating her until she was a complete mass of bruises, and was reduced to a state of partial insensibility, the prisoner ultimately seised hold of her, end dragging her towards s large tub filled with water, plunged her into it, declaring that he would settle her at once. She was struggling to extricate herself, when some of the lodgers who had been attracted by her screams, at length hastened to her assis tance and rescued her from further ill treatment. Sergeant Ding, H 22, stated that having received infor mation that a man was in the act of murdering his mother, he hastened to the house, where ho found the complainant lying upon the floor, and presenting a half-drowned ap pearance, her dress being saturated with water, which was dripping front it, and he also observed that the ,sack part et her cap was stained with blood. As the poor woman was writhing about in an evident state of extreme pain, Le rained her in his arms and gave dine:ions for her immediate removal to the hospital, and having ascertained from the persons present that her iejuries had been inflicted by her son, who had locked himself in one of the upper rooms, he proceeded there and took him into custody. On their way to the station-house he was iuformed by the lodgers that they had been compelled on several occasions to interfere for the protection of the old woman from the prisoner's violence, and that he would certainly murder her unless proper means were adopted to secure her safkty. Tho sergeant handed to the magistrate a certificate from Mr. Bell, the house surgeon at the London Hospital, which stated that the complainant had sustained numerous severe contusions and 'accretions about the head, arms, chest, legs, and other parts of her person. On being asked if he wished to say anything in answer to the charge, the prisoner, in a sullen tone, rep:ied that all he had to say was that he did not attempt to use the hammer until his mother had seized him by the hair of the head, when ho merely gave her " a trip or two with it now and then," to induce her to relinquish her hold. The priseaer was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edmund Bragg, clerk in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, was charged with stealing a snuff-box, the property of the Great Western Railway Snutf Club. James Spencer said he was clerk in the Great Western Company's Accountant's office. There was a snuff club supported by about 26 of the clerks. The prisoner was a member of the club, and had care of the club snuir-box. A short time ago a subscription wos entered into for the pur chase of a new box. The prisoner received the money to pay for the box. Soon after the purchase of the box it w.ai missed, and no tidings could be had of it until Saturday, when on the prisoner's apprehension, • quantity of dupli cates was found in his possession, one of which related to the musing box. The prisoner was fully committed. LAMBETH. Frederick Butler, a person well known to the police, was charged with being concerned, with others not in custody, with burglariously breaking into the premises of Mr. Thomas Prince, the keeper of a fancy bazaar, in ihekfoid row, Walworth-road, and stealing therefrom property of the value of 700 f. Mr. Lund, the superintendent of the P division of polio.', stated that at a late hour on Friday night last, or early on Saturday morning, the premises of Mr. Prince h.od ?soca hurglanously entered, and property, consisting of watches, jewellery, and other articles, to the amount of nearly 7001., carried away by the thieves. From information which had reached him (Mr. Lund), he had no doubt whatever that the prisoner was a party to the robbery, and he, in conse quence, caused his apprehension. The time was so short, however, he had not the necessary witnesses in Dn . :ad:knee. Mr. Elliott—Are you prepared to swear that you believe that the prisoner is one of the parties concerned in tho bur glary, and that on a future day you will produce witnesses to the fact? Mr. Lund—l ant prepared to swear that, but besides there is a witness in attendance who has something to state. Mr. Thomas Peacock, a builder,residiag at No. 23, Beck ford-row, Walworth-road, next door to Mr. Prince, was then sworn, and deposed that on Saturday night last, at about half-past 11 o'clock, and while going to b-d, he looked out of the window to see if his gates were closed, and distinctly saw two men en bis premises. One was a stout man, and ho had very little doubt on his mind the , : that person was the prisoner, though he should not wish to swear to it. At the station-house he pointed the prisoner out from several others there. _ _ _ _ . An attorney, on the part of the prisoner, submitted that there was so evidence to justify the detention of his client. Mr. Elliott considered that there was quito stdiicipnt to detain the prisoner for further examination, and rednaLdcd him for that purpose. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1853. MARKETS. • - lAveuroOL, JAN. 11. --- A reference to the import note of the last week will show a fair supply of oats and oatmeal from Ireland, but quite trifling of other arti cles thence and coastwise, and liberal arrivals of foreign wheat and flour, principally from the United States, Egypt, France, and Spain. The week's exports consist of 6,910 qrs. wheat, 2,252 brio. and 504 sacks flour, and 608 qrs. of Indian corn. The transactions of the week have been on a moderato scale, for local consumption, at steady prices generally. The weather continues mild and open for the season of the year, but with occasional strong wixds and rain. To-day, however, promises to be more settled, and, if it should continue a few days, the farmer will be busily employed in the preparation of his land, and will probably not supply the markets so freely as of late. The Corn Exchange this morning was elenderly attended. There was about the usual demand for wheat and flour from the neighbouring millers and dealers, at much the same prices as were current this day se'nnight. There were only few buyers from a distance. Fine oats were scarce, and quite as dear, but secondary sorts were ed. to Id. per bushel lower. Oatmeal also was rather easier ;to buy. The sales of barley, beans, and peu were inconsider able, and prices stand unchanged. Scarcely any Indian corn here at present. LYNN, Jan. 11.-A fair quantity of Wheat here to-day, for which lust week's rates were paid. A short supply of Barley, and all best samples rather dearer. Present prices. Wheat, old, red, 62114. to 631b5., 495. to 50s. per quarter to the grawer; new, 58Ibs. to albs., 435. to 135.; ditto, 551bs. to Nibs., 38s. to 421. Rye, 265. to 28s. Bar ley, selected fine, fl2lbs. to albs., 29e. to Ms. ; selected best runs, 311bs. to 521b5., 285.t0 295.; stained and much sprouted, albs. to 511b5., 245. to 255. Oats, new, 9d. to lOil. per st. Beano, old, 65th,. to &Gibs., 393. to 40s. ; new, 62155. to Sifts., 325. to 345. Pees, feeding, 21s. to 28s. Flour, flue, per sack of 28011,5., 40s. NEWC3SYLE, Jan. 11.-The weather since Saturday has been wet and unsettled. To-day there are symptoms of a change for the better, which it is hoped may prove of rue continuance. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, for which a ready sale was experienced at Saturday's rates. South Country qualities, as well as foreign, were held with great firmness, but the amount of business passing was not of any moment; still our previous quotations may be re peated, vit., 48s. to 50s. for new Lincolnshire red, and 625. for the best Norfolk and Suffolk,yellow choice old being worth dls. per qr., 63 lbs.; and old Stralsund red, .535. per qr. respectively. Flour does not move off freely, and a good deal is going to warehouse to await a more favourable period for realisation ; 395. may be deemed • nominal price for households, dealers being unable to supply themselves' without difflulty at 385. for anything extra ; whereas 403. cannot be exceeded in a ge neral way for whites. Malting Barley continues to be held very firmly, without producing an active inquiry. In some cases high limits have been imposed, say 365., for the best Chevalier, weighing about albs. per bushel, which figure our brewers and maltsters feel reluc tant to give ; but we are almost inclined to think, with a continuance of moderate receipts, such rates will be pro curable. Grinding scarce and inquired for. Matt excites little attention. In other article we have little or no variation to note. COTTON.—LivanrooL, JAN. 11.—The maelet closed tamely. but firmly for all descriptions of solid American ; and all kinds of cotton remain in price the same as on Fri day. The sales to-day are between 4,000 and .5,000 bales, and comprise nearly 4,000 American ; 200 Egyptian, at bp d. to Old. ; 400 Surat, at 31d. to 4d. Imports since Thursday, 40,000 bales. MANCHESTER, JAN. 11.—We have had a quieter market in consequence of the New York advice* by the Africa once more offering a probability of lower prices. Spinners, however, are engaged to the end of January, and not dis• posed to make abatement except for contracts in continua tion of present one.. In yarns and cloths suitable to India and China, prices are quite firm. Business has nut been quite so active to-day, but still some fair orders have been gives aut. Twist suitable to the Mediterranean has also been in request, and some moderate orders have been placed. The home trade have not been doing a large busi• nese, but prices have been maintained, except where goAls have not been suited to the demand, and in these cases but alight decline is reported. For printing cloths there is a good deal of inquiry, and it has resulted in some rather considerable transactions. WOOLLENS.—LEzna, JAN. 11.—Tor the se.iii of the year we have had a fair market for woollen cloths to-d.,yin the two halls. In the warehouses trade is somewhat limited, but a good spring trade is anticipated I,i a tow weeks. In both the halls and the warehouses quite as much is doing as is usual so soon after the commencement of the new you. WOOL.—HUDDIRSTIELD, Jan. 11.—The dimand for Wools continues at the same rate, and though Frees are considered high they are moved off rather freely. German Wools, which have been neglected for some time back, are now from the high price of colonials more ought after. CATTLE. REIGATE, Jan. 11. At this market trade was brisk for every description of fat stock, the supply of which was large. Beasts sold freely at a trifling ativance on last week's rates. Sheep, most of them down wethers, made 3s. ss. 2d. per atone of 8 lbs., maiden ewes, 3s. 10d. to 4s. 2d. The veal trade for small fat Calves was brisk at 4s. to 4s. 4d ; large coarse, 3s. 6d. Small porkers, 3s. 101 to 4s. 21 ; roasting pigs, 7s. to Bs. each. The sup ply of lean stock was not sufficient for the demand, conse quently dealers sold at a very considerable profit. Suck ling Calves 20s. to 265. each. Store Pigs .the saute as last week. From MI LONDON GAZETTE.— Tuesday, Jan. 11. BANKRUPTS.

MANUFACTURES.— Rtainzitsrizr.n, Jan. 11.—We have again had a good attendance of buyers, who have pur chased pretty freely in almost all descriptions of goods, which appears evident from the present lowness of stocks ; in facts, stocks on hand of manufactured goods have not been so low at this season for many years. We Lice a:so some little doing in spring goods for the fortcoming semen. ST. PETEUSIIIIRO, JAN. 1. CORN.—Quiet, and all descriptions nominal. Ikals : 4,000 dozen taken of a minor dealer at ro. cash, for July to September delivery ; and there are large buyers of Gromoff's (who refuses to sell) at 51 ro. Flax : Nothing is likely to be done till the return of the dealers to town, after the holidays. Probably one or two of the minor dealers have sold at prices to be fixed by opening rates, but not to any extent. There; is no doubt a part of the supplies have been covered by early snow. Considerable business may be expected when prices open. Hemp : quiet, and the only transaction appears to he 100 tons clean, at Si ro. cash. Linseed : there has been an active demand the last few days, and full 20,000 chcts. Morshansk, and similar aced, have been taken, at 28 ro. for May, 271 re. for June and July, and 27 ro. for August delivery ; the May delive ries will come down by railroad. Tallow : very little done beyond 600 casks for August, at 122 ro. cash, at which, and 130 ro. 10 ro. down rather sellers. In addition to the stocks wintering in the warehouses, there are this year in second hands (detained by the closing of the navigation), about 11,000 pds. 12-head, 68,800 yds. Mead, and 16,500 pds. 6ihead flax, and 13,600 pds. tow and coddle ; about 31,000 pds. hemp (of which '7,000 pds. clean), and about 4,000 casks tallow—all against little or nothing List year. Exchanges : London, three months, 391 to per S. ro. ; Amsterdam, three months, FM ; Hamburg, three nicuths, 34$ to it ; Peril, three montlui, 407 to 4101. CORN.—UuLL, Jln. 11.—Today'Sc had a short supply of Wheat from the tanners, with little of fereigc. The condition of the new Wheat was better than from the recent weather could be expected, but still a good deal affected, and only best samples met ready sale at the full rates of last week, while anything inferior was neglected. Nothing of moment done in foreign except in the merest retail. Barley of tine quality is sought after, and ls. dearer; no alteration in the value of grinding. Oats are fully 6d. per qr. dearer. Beans and Peas without alteration, but the mild weather checks consumption of the latter. Linseed of kinds is dearer, and a somewhat better demand far Cakes. No transactions in Rapeseed, but Cakes still meet free sale. Wheat, English, red, 475. to 495.; white, 50s. to 545.; ALEXANDRE.
