Mr. Tunier a del the bankrupt's account we., that he bad taken of hies three bills at twelve, eighteen, and twenty four months, and instead of those bills being in his penes siou, they hail been passed away to Mr.. Levy, the hank. TOWS aunt, who was creditor for 4001. or 5001. The only entwine of her debt were certain merits in the bankrupt's books, which he admitted had all been made at one time in the month of March last, shunt the time when Mrs. Levy got the bills. He had previously sworn that all those entries were made before rtie year 115.13, but eon. eted himself on recollecting that hi. private ledger, in which they appeared, WWI only bought in Jana try, Isd3. The assignees did nut believe that any such billet were is existence, but that the bankrupt's object was to ferment them taking any stem against young Hart to recover the value of those goods. They had, flowerer, taken proceedings in Australia, hut had not yet received advice. as to the result. On that ground they asked fur an adjournment until advice. should be received from Australia. The assignees had taken mess suns to secure the attendance of Mrs. Elisabeth Levy. They had tried to summon her; they had even employed a detective officer, who had mile diligent search, and would prove that she was ket ping out of the way. The Commissioner (to the bankrupt)—Why don't yes produce Mrs. Levy? Bankrupt—l soh I could. It would be very hard he me to do it. The Commissioner-1/ she not • relative of yours ?

The Commissioner—flow do you account fur this ? The Bankrui 6—The way I explain it is this. 1 invoice the goods and enter them is my books at a higher prim than what I intended to sell, or did sell them, to Mr. Levy. The Comosissimer—Why did you do so? Bankrupt—lo order that Mr. King, who was my tra veller then, and who knew the value of the good., should not know that I was selling them at a lower price. It was not found out by the other books, but from my own ex planation. The " I cannot May any longer. It is half-past four. Oa Thurs day, Jan. 5, you may take a meeting.

Burnett Auderson, of 1111 liter-street, against whom a charge of forgery was preferred a day or two ago at the po lice court. The petitioning creditors ate Mews. Hall, whartingers, of Cust.im.house Quay. Mr. Canaan is the official assignee ; and Messrs. Jacobs and Forster are the •oiicitera under the petition. .Why did you sell to Levy at a less price that dispis• at which you invoice the goods ? auskrapt—Messuse money was alwsys of use to me. I wanted ready messey. Mr. Lawmen (who appeared fir the bankrupt)—Your Honour will see that at the same time as he debits Ale:- Lade: Levy with a larger amount of goods than he actually sold to him he gives him credit fur a larger amount than he actually oafs. Mr. Turner—Yes; all the entries are fictitious. The bankrupt has been, fur a period of 18 months, selling goods to Mr. Alexander Levy below their ecst price, and entering them in a fictitious manner in his books, and also entering fictitious receipts of money; and his only explanation is, that it was done to deceive King, his traveller. This 1 contend brings him within the second clause of the 250th section. The Contrnisaioner—l don't thick it conies within that clause—it does not appear that it was done to decals his creditors. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-ST HEIST. Charles il.,ss, a ruins men about 20, in the employ of Messrs. ilawitt and Co., drapers and furniture eb•alers in High Holborn, was charged with stealing furs and other prooerty, to the extent of about 50/. in value. The prisoner had been in the prosecutors' establishment until about eix week* ago, when he was dismissed. A sable muff, boa, and cuffs hail been missed from the stork, but nothing occurred to connect the 'meaner with the robbery at that time. On Sunday hut, however, one of the female assistant. of Messrs. Howitt haprsened to attend divine ser vice at Trinity Church, Little Queen-street, and there ob served among the congregation the prisoner and a young woman of respectable appearance, who was attired in a set of furs answering the description of the missing property. She communicated the fact to her employers, who took steps to ascertain the present whereabouts of the prisoner,who was faund to be now an the employment of Messrs Hughes and Strengways, of Chiswell-street, St.. Luke's. The young lady who was his companion at Trinity Church on Sunday, proved to he the daughter of a respectable woman in Elise: the native place of the prisoner, who, it appeared, bad induced her to leave her house and take lodging. in London. where she obtained a living by needlework, with the occasional assistance of the prisoner, by whom she was visited every Sunday. The girl readily admitted that the fun in question were presented to her by the young man, and it transpired that she had received other similar presents from him ; but there was no reason to suspect her of being accessory to the rubbery. The officers produced a large bun He of drapery goods, consisting of a Coburg dress, mender, he., which were ideetified as the property of the prisoner's present employ ets, Messrs. Hughes and Strangways, who stated, however, that they had not the least suspicion of his conduct, until they received the information respecting him from Messrs. Howitt and Co. The prisoner, who had admitted that all the goods were stolen from his employers, was remanded for further exami nation. CLEHKESIVELL. Jahn TAN:cites, brushmaker, of 40, Wynyatt-street, Cletkenwell, and Mary .lnn, his wife, appeared bof're Mr. Tyrwhitt, pursuant to their bail, to answer to a most atrocious charge of cruelty to Emma Higgins, aged 6 yeas, the illegitimate child of the former. The child, who only knew her brutal tormentors is the character of uncle and aunt, on being placed in the witams box, showed remarkable intelligence, and was permitted IS take the usual oath. She said she lied been placed out to board, but as her uncle could no longer afford to pay 2s. IM. a week, she was taken home. At first she was treated es well as the other children of the prisoners, but after awhile she was beffeted and kicked about, made to eat fin her breakfast and supper dry bread, with milk and water, and her dinner invariably consisted of boiled rice an d Balt, whereas the prisoners end their children bad at the Mu meal tea, bread and butter, and fish ; meat, potatoes, greens, and pudding at dinner ; and at tea time their fare was the same as at breakfast. She had frequently been stripped naked by the prisoners, who had afterwards tied her hands behind her, and her legs together, and then plunged her headfotemost into cold water, and on one occasion, while so bound, the woman was going to put her on the fire, but was alarmed at her screams. Since then the mile defendant placed a piece of wire, secured to some string, round her neck, and dragged her about the floor, to a nail in the cupboard, saying he would hang her. Her " aunt " would often beat her with her shoe over her bead, and kick her on various parts of her person, because she did not work fast enough with her needle, in assisting her at dressmaking. Her grandfather at length came to see her, and finding her caked in the corner of a room, he took her away, and she bad since been in Clerkenwell work house. • Mr. Brown, surgeon of the parish, raid that when the poor child was brought under his notice it was emaciated, and had bruises about its body, and a ligature mark about its neck. A female, named Hopper, stated that a fortnight ago she heard the woman at the bar call the complainant a little She )• brute, and she would put an end to it. had often heard her brat it, when the little sufferer would moan, scream, and call out, " Oh, aunt." Four months back she noticed black marks and platen on its face. Other evidence in eoefirmation of the child having been given, Mr Tyrwhitt said he should commit the prisoners, with out fine, to the House of Correction (or two months. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Blows, stab driver,wearing the badge 2,440, was summoned before Mr. Mammal, for having exacted double the amount of his legal fare from the Rev Edward Francis Coke, the incumbent of the district church of St. James's, Botboal-green, The complainant stated that on the evening of Saturday, the 17th instant, he engaged the defendant's cab at the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway, in Sooreditch, and directed him to convey bin wife and two children, both of whom were under ten years of ego s % ►is residence, in . . ~ . ....____.

The prisoner here s.iid she was quite ashamed of the young person, and, after having examined her with very great severity, she asked her if she did not give her one of her long hairs to bewitch her young man. The witness said the matter was too delicate to mention in open court ; hut, on Mr. Ingham telling her that she must relate the while truth, she confessed that she gave the prisoner a single hair " to bewitch her young man with." (Roars of laughter.) Elizabeth Rome, fellow-servant of the last witness, and a much uldir person, said the prisoner told her oho had been a mother, and that her child would soon die.

" Who is that who interrupts the proceedings ?" cried the President. " Oh! I don't want to interrupt, sir," said the men, " but I should like to know if the poor boy is willing to work, be cause in that case I might get him something to do!" "What is your name ?" " I am Lambert, a quarryman. I once before claimed n young man here; I set him to work in my quarry; and he works like a horse, and sines like a leek ! If this one would like to join him he can do so— there is room enough in the quarry." "You bear," said the President to the accused, " what this good man pro poses. Are you disposed to profit by it?" "I am willing, sir! Provided he gives me food , I ask for nothing else !" " Food you shall hove, my boy—sod a little money ton, according to your labour !" Oa this the Tribunal ac quitted the boy, and gave him up to the kind-lie. , red quar ryman. MARKETS. - • - COTTON.—Ltvituroob, Dn. 24.—The market clued with firmness, and no quotable change can be noticed in prices. The eels amount to 6,000 bales, comprisime 1,600 American (1,000 for export and on speculation), 200 Per name and Maranhams, gd. to 71d. ; 40 Bahia, 60 ; 300 Egyptian, 61d. to 81d.; and 1,000 Surat. 3d. to 4;d. per lb. es 000 on speculation). Import si n c e Thursday, 6,000 bal. MANCHEMMIL, DEC. 24.—We had a good attendance on the Eachange this morning, although many parties have left town for the Christmas hulidays, and there was a f.ir business. There was hardly so much doing as on Tuesday and Thursday, hot the tone of feeling was quite as good and the character of the demand quite as general. In prices there is a growing tendency to harden. The trade circular of a large house in the Manchester trade thus describes the course of the market since this period of last moath Our market had relapsed into a dull and inanimate state when we hutted sur last circular from the somewhat im proved tone which a week previously it had exhibited, and during the interval which has since elapsed the same lectures have stemn, but with partial indications of improvement from time to time, which, after making their appearance, have in a few days been again dissipated; still they have, on the whole, tended to the strength of prices in our market, and in same case* even to a higher point being established for some articles the most in demand, or of which the eon ' tinuance of strikes, or otherwise diminished production, has kept our market ill supplied. Thus, whilst 7-Bths printers, 9 Bths madanollsms of middle qualities, 'l' cloths, and ordinary to medium qualities of 9-tithe shifting' have remained either stationary in price or tending to • lower ' point, and whilst lungcloths, low madapollams, and 34in. to ' 36in. GO reed printers and shirtings have rather receded in value, there has been a decided improvement in the price, and a considerably increased facility in the sale of most de scriptions of yams and goods suitable for shipment to India, and at length this week China shirtings have found ready buyers, and many of the stocks which had weighed as an incubus on the market have changed hands. We quote consequently, 39-40io. 8 to 11 pick shirting. lid. to 2d. per piece dearer; China shirtings 3d. per piece advanced; figured shirtings 3d. per piece higher; and jacconets also I id. to lid. per piece above last month's rata. There has been more animation also in the demand for domestics, in anticipation of the wants of the home trade, taking advan tage of which, and of their sales, some manufacturers have raised their prices 1-16 d. to 1-Bd. per yard. In these goods, however, considerable irregularity exists. WOLLEN CLOTH —Lamm, DEC. 23.—We have no change in the state of the woollen market. There has been a fair seasorable business done in the cloth-bells to-day; and in the warehouses during the week a full average business ter the period of the year has been done. HARDWARE.—Btasamemast, DEc. 24.—There has been a slight decline in the orders received during the last two days, a thing of very frequent occurrence quarter day approaches, and especially that which preced es the close of the year. The actual condition of trade at this moment has not, however, been in any ray affected by this partial cessation in the press of orders, there being a great deal of work in the hands of by far the larger number of manufac tories, the orders for which were given long since, but which they have been hitherto unable to completl. It is under stood, too, that the merchants and factors have large orders in the houses which have not yet been given out. All those branches embraced under the heads " light and heavy steel toys" are busier than any manufacturer has ever known them before at this time of the year; it is the same in nearly all the branches of fire-arm manufacture, and for marine engines, we are informed that the demand is so pressing, that new manufactories are about to be erected for their manufacture. For lamps and chan deliers the orders continue enormous ; indeed, we hear no complaints of any kind from the manufacturers, except with reference to the scarcity as well as the high price of all I metals, and the increasing difficulty in the way of obtain ing a sufficiency of coal, another advance being threatened. Indeed, this appears to be inevitable, for tne commodity increases in scarcity, and many of the pits in S•affordshire are said to be still under water. The price of iron is firm at the late advance. The ironmastera report that the de mand is very great, so much so, that a further rise is by no means improbable before the end of January. The reports recently received from Australia by the merchants in this town are highly favourable ; and the tenor of all the Canadian letters we heard of is to the effect that au enor mous spring trade with that colony may be expected. CORN.—Cawantnotr, Dan. 24.—Wheat and barley were both d agaiu to-day, without any material change in the value of other corn. Wheat r. d, 72. a. to 80s. per qr. ; white, 84s. Barley, 36s to 465.

NEwt*.taTLE-urute•iltSE, Dt:e. 24.-1 lie w, ather thee week has been tit an unsettled character, for, With the exception ni M.ni•lay, we have had eutisi,tit rain, whilst, strange tr say, the barometer has stood very high iu the interval, which possibly way be owing to the wind pre vailing from the nutth-east. The trade during the present week h-,e continued to manifr,t a hardening tendency, and a good business has been done in wheat at an advance of 2s. per qr , whilst at the same time there has been more did. 10.1frit1011 to purchase fl-our at an amendment of Is. per sick. Malting barley has also improved rally Is. per qr. in value, whereas other articles have been in more favour at fully former rites. At our market this morning we had a better supple of wheat from the growers, but having little offering from the caast or any other quarter, fresh-thrashed samples were taken off steadily at an enhancement of 2s. per qr , whilst in other descriptions little transpired, although the advance of the week was fully sustained. Flour was held with great firmness fur a further rise of It. per sack, which had the effect of checking bu.iness. Rye pointing upward. Mating barley may be written Is. dearer, with only a limited quantity uttering. Grinding unchani:ed. Malt was not 119 pressingly offered, and shows a tendency to move up again. Beaus and pas fully as high, with more inquiry. With oats we were more liberally supplied by our growers, the main hulk of which consisted ui atsined and moderate qua. lily, and for such there was great difficulty in making bu rner terms, whereas fine samples, as well as choice old, met mare attention, at the turn in favour of the seller, good Scotch commanding 32.., weighing 421bs. per bushel.

NORWICH, llte. 24.—Our market this day was most abundantly supplied esi.h wheat by both farmers and user chants mostly in inferior condition; higbe• prices were de manded and obitined, say 3s. per qr., and dull at the ad. ranee. At the close of the market la. per qr. less money was accepted; buyers evidently desired to pause at such famine prices. Flour was in good demand at prices similar to last week. Barley trade quiet, supply good ; prices remained the same as last week. Beans and peas were a small supply, demand small, no change in price. Outs are in good demand at full prices.

Barley was 2s. per qr. dearer, and oats and beans each made Is: per qr. more money. READING, Dec. 24.—We had a modersterupply of wheat to-day, which met with a very dull mile; higher prices were asked than buyers were disposed to give ; except in very prime samples, which may be quoted la. dearer, prices were much the same as last week. There was a brisker sale for barley at an advsnee ot about ls. per qr. front last market. Peas still very short in supply, prices unaltered. Beans and oats easier to buy.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, SATURDAY: Mora than a thoasnod mil of laden collier vessels have accumulated in the north-east ports, occasioned by the long-continued easterly gales. On account of so few vessels on the oast having been caught in the coast hurricanes as compared with former winter gales, the loss of vessels has been incon siderable during the recent bad weather. What laden ves sels have beencaught have sought shelter in roadsteads. The Chevy Chase, screw steamer, in her passage from Hamburg to the Tyne, with bullocks for the Christmas market, was caught by the bad weather, and the crew were obliged to throw 72 head of cattle, of the value of 2,0001.. into theses to preserve the vessel. There is every reason to fear, also, that a laden collier brig named the Agenoria, which left Shields about three weeks ego, is lost with all hands. One of her boats came ashore at Aldborough, and nothing has been heard of either crew or resat!. Seafaring men have given them up. The crew of a billyboy named the Superior brought word into Sunderland on Thursday that the noticed two small vessels go down in the gale fro m w hi c h they had just escaped. This report has not been confirmed, and is thought to be a mistake. About 400 sail of light vessels reached the North from London in the early part of the week. With the exception of about half a dozen sail which ran ashore in taking Hart,epool, they all reached their respective ports in safety. The wind has veered round to the N.W. to-night, and there is a better prospect. LETTERS AND GOLD FROM AUSTRALIA.—The Oriental Company's steam packet Euxine, Captain F. Meehan, arrived at Southampton on Saturday afternoon, with the heavy portion of the India, China, and Australian mails, and which were las dad under the charge of Lieu tenant De Lisle, U.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are— Alexandria, Dec. 8; Malta, Dec. 12; and Gibraltar, Dec. 18. Amongst her cargo was 11 buses of specie. Her mails consisted of above 100 boles of letters and papers, besides bags. Nearly one half of the boxes were from Melbourne. Amongst the passengers of the Euxine were several from Australia, who came up to Ceylon in the Shanghai mail steamer, which left Melbourne on fthe 27th of September. They confirm the extraordinary accounts which were re ceived by a few private letters, written just before the sailing of the Shanghai, as to the extraordinary gold disco veries. The chief spot of these discoveries, and which are called tables of gold, is at Ballarat. A party of diggers bad in a very short time obtained 10,0001. worth of gold, and had deposited it at the Mel ourne Bank. A gold placer was also discovered on the surface, near Melbourne, by meand of a cart, the wheels of which in toiNg over the grouns were found to have gold adhering to them. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—About two o'clock this afternoon the British and North American Royal Mail .team•ship Canada, Captain Janes Scone, sailed from the Mersey for Boston and Halifax, with the usual mails for the United States mud British possessions in North America, and a fair complement of psseengess and cargo. Prior to her sailing, NI es-re. W ilime r and Smith, news-agents, placed copies of the Daily News of this day's date on board, for the press and news rooms tit the Western Coutineut. About the saute hour t e South American and General Steam Navigation Company's vessel the Brazilina, Captain D. Green, sailed on her second trip to the Brazils and the River Plate, with a good general cargo and a few passengers. - - MAILS FOR HELIGOLAND. - GENERAL POST OFFICE, DecErenex, 1ti , 53.—1n consequence of the with drawal of the contract mail packets between London and Hamburg, the mails fir Heligoland can no longer be for warded by those packets, as hitherto.

The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Isabella Camphell and Caroline Nicholson." The coroner then bound over the witnesses to appear and give evidence, and issued his warrant for the committal of Camps bell and Nicholson to York Castle for trial at the Spring FRENCH POLICE CASES. (Frogs Galtownsi's .Vruayn•.) A foreigner, who put up at an hotel near the Tuileries, presented himself at the banking-house of ?attars. Roths child at the opening of business, and gave notice that some person bad entered his room during the night and taken away his watch, his purse, and pocketbook, this last containing a letter of credit for 2,000 francs, given by the house of MM. de Rothschild at Vienna on the house in Paris. This he requested to have stopped, if presented. Half an hour after, a fashionably dressed young men made his appearance, and presented the order for payment. Ile was told that the money would be paid as soon as the order was returned from the office of one of the heads of the house. In the meantime a police officer was sent for, and just as the young man had signed his name to a receipt, he was d. Being taken before the Commissary of Police he declared his name to be o—, and, as a proof of that being the fact, be showed several papers and documents in which that name appeared. Wlpn searched there were found on him a gold watch and chain, a ports-monnaie, containing a certain sum in gold, a blue silk purse, empty, and a pocket-book containing visit ing -cards, with the name on them of Count de W.—, Rue de Porithien, which article he declared he had found in the street the same morning. Just as the search had concluded the foreign gentleman from whom the letter of credit had been stolen appeared, and at once recognised the blue silk purse and the gold watch as his property. In consequence of this declaration the Commissary of Police ordered a visit to be made with the prisoner to the ad- dress in the Rue de Pouthieu, mentioned on the cards found in his possession, and there he was identified as always passing by the name of Count de W—. A great quantity of valuable property of various kinds was found in the apartment, and not leas than 17 paletots of various kinds. Further investigation proved that the prisoner was really t►e Count de W—, a Pole by birth, and of a high family, but living in Paris principally by stealing property from the rooms of wealthy persons in hotels. Two days after, • person who had been on intimate terms with the prisoner, without knowing his real character, on hearing of his gave notice that two large trunks had been ►eft in his charge - toy the prisoner. These were also found to be full of things of a most mireellancous character, and which are suspected to have been stolen. The prisoner has been fully committed fur trial, under the double charms of forgery and theft. As the driver of a railway cab was nn the lit October going from the station of the Lyons Railway to Meurice's Hotel, with an English gentleman named Cox, he heard nom, one remove his fare's portmanteau from the roof of his vehicle. Looking round, he saw a man running away with the trunk; he went in pursuit and captured him. The prisoner was taken before a commissary of police. lie said that he belonged to a moat respectable family, and that he would sooner die than make known his name. He, however, on being pressed, said that he was named Her mind. All at ones he seised a large knife which hap pened to be lying on the table, and stabbed himself several times near the heart. He was conveyed to the hospital. His address having been ascertained, his room was searched, and • portmanteau, belonging to a Spaniard named Hermann., was found in it. This portmanteau, he Admitted, he had stolen from • cab as it was going to the Lyons Railway; and he said that he had stolen the second portmanteau because the first contained no money. Both robbed** were committed on the same evening. His real name was ascertained to be Boulanger; and it turned out that he really belongs to • respectable family, but that he had ruined himself by extravagance and debauchery; also that lie had been condemned to six months' imprisonment for robbery, and to one month of the same punishment for cutting and wounding. Having recovered from his wounds, he was on flatur lay tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for the robberies of the two portmanteaus, and was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment. A man named Buissonnesu was yesterday tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police, for a very ingenious, though scatee:y credible species of ro►bery. He one day went to a putrycuok, and said, " I shall require to morrow 400 brioches (a sort of bun) !" " They shill he got ready, sir," replied the pastrycook, after having asked for his name and address. He then went to • watchmaker opposite, and selected • watch of 200 f. As the tradesman was pack ing it up, he said, " I am • wholesale butter dealer; the pastrycook opposite owes me 4001 r.—he will pay you— Goose with me!" The watchmaker followed the man to the putrycook's. " I have cnine to tell you," said the prisoner, that I shall only want 200—and that you must Rive the other 200 to this person, your neighbour." On t►is, the watchmaker unspectiogly allowed him to walk off with the watch, but, to his profound astonishment, there arrived the newt day, net 2001. but 200 brioches. The trick was then discovered. Nothing was seen of the man until • few days ago, when he was recognised by the pastrycook's big, dressed in • grotesque style, and selling pencils in the midst of • crowd. The Tribunal condemned him to • year's imprisonment. 11 The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried a workman, named Leonard, for beating his wile. The r offence was clearly proved, and the man admitted it; "hit'," said he, " it in all owing to my wife's stupidity in arithmetic." " What do ycu man ?" asked the president. . Why this—l earn 2 fr. 10 sous a-day, and my wife 1 fr. a-day. She pretends that as we are married she ought to have the half of the whole 3 fr. 10 sous-36 sous for her, 35 sous for me. But I have said to her a hundred times that a man's shirt mats 4 fr., whilst a woman's chemke only costs 40 sr 60 toes ; that a pair of man's shoes costs 6 fr. sad a pair of woman's only 3 fr. 10 sous; that a m,in has a larger stomach than a woman, and requires more Willa land mere food." " Oh, as to the food," said the wo- I mss, •• 1 n • id that he might not eat more than I do, hat I maintain that all the rat ought to be equally divided !" " You hear her, gentlemen," cried the accused, "she sticks up fur the half! For the life of me I can't i teach her to calculate !" " And for that you beat her ?" ". lth, does she not merit it ?" Some witnesses deposed to the man's brutality to the woman ; and one of them said, that one lay in his presence, the accused, before beating I her, 4 into an elaborate calculation to prove that she was wrong " Aial so she is!" cried the man, " for if she had half of our daily earnings, which would be 35 sous, how could I pay fur a shirt which costs 4fr., whilst a woman's chemise costa only-" But the tribunal cut short the man's calculations by condemning him to three months' im prieonsment The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried $ man of respectable appearance, named Hennas's, and a female, sassed Desaareey, for swindling.
