s gil Z.` s • AMERICAN CHURN. (Front the Former's elegasiec) Sir.—Yoa are aware that the first esterase] show of the Liwer Aoneadale Agrieultural Society took plies at Anima en the 4th curt., tad that is seder to themes the interest of it I procured for exhibitiom ore of the Patent Asterism Churns, of the mutes of wekh we have bad very easiistiog accounts; and that le of to give effect to the wish expretud by the judges of implements I announced my intonate of having • competition with it and two other chums on the lii oulig day. This t.:ok plate sceoroingly. The competition was attended by Mr. Smith, of Black wood House; Mr. Elliot, lierigrave ; sod Mr. Jesus Mafia, Kirtlebridge, members el the *feisty, the awe latter gentlemen each keeping notes of the different par ticulara Me bad also the advantage of the possess el several ladies who attended in the dairy during the whole thee, tad who afterwards very matioially masted in our coming to what we considered a cured sad Oispeasioaste jodgmeet as to the suits of the American or AsthoWe than. The churns with which i: was compared were, let, the common Lox churn of thit district, used at Bleck eroed house; end, god, as atmosphere. churn, made by Robin son, near Belles', which ski en was also exhibited at An. man, and has bass used at Newland) for some yeses. Every reiterate preliminary erraegement saving bees pre violably made by my di rec t t cn, 10 quarts of cream were put Into the Belfast chute, and 5 quarts of wars water added to rviae the tetnperature of the cream to 62 degrees Fakes.. thermometer. The cream was thee mtnutely mixed by tuning the beadle of the than several times mod, ead 12 quarts of the mixture were pet tree tee Auserieen than, 12 into the common box dare, sad the reseatnieg 71 were lett in the Belfast churn, the temperiture ot then all being kept at 62 deg. The two antelier churn. were Ailed up within • little of the utletree, beteg the limit thought best for them, end the three charm were 'Meant d to be twined at the ordinary rate, actordthe to the sise of the handle—the Blackwood liaise 90 revolu tions in a nsiuute, the American 80, and Belfast ers. The Ant nude the butter is 20, the sectond in 26, and the last is 48 Limits* ; the first producing 61 the. of butter, the American the same quaetity ot 81 lbs., and the Belfast, from 71 quarts, produciog 39 lbs. 11 cc, or a fraci in above 6 7.10. he lbs. to the 12 gouts. The► butter wet then made each an d brought thes the hell a pound of each on three diffeteut *floured plus*, sad nuked betides No, 1,2. 3. by my farm servant, who alone wu cognisant ot the .application of the numbers to tle different chores.

Oa reference to my servant's private note No. I was from the 81-ckwood Howie aura, No. 2 from the American, lied No. 3 from the Belfast one ; No. 2 being at least equal la point of Savour, sod decidedly superior ia ilessess, e ya. A dismissive was thou instituted es to the relative quality cf the different auras for use, woes it was again unanimously *greed that the superiority of the butter made by the American churn would more than comp caste for the pester quality made by the Bel fast churn, provided • market could be obtained for it, where • price would be given steadies to its quality ; bet that, is a toiletry district, when little difference of price elated, perhaps the Belfast MS might he thundered pre !treble. Toe buttermilk was also tutted under similar preestitioet, when it wee again unestmoully agreed that No. 2 was the richest and beet, No. 1 the nest, toed No. 3 the lest. The, cost of the American churn, which was kindly forwarded to me by Mesas, R. tiny and Son, lidding stone, Glasgow, is 24. ; bet He. Elliot seemed to think that if mute of common wood, and (tedium, workmanthip, it could be Made at little more than half that sum. Oa Tuesday, the Bth, there being oily enough of Wane fur one e.huro, ead the dairywomen being again glistens to use its Americas chum, the put 13 quarts of cream is, Joshed of 12, with 2 quarts of warm enter, which brought it to • temperature of about 611; the mixture she, however, considered richer then as the former trial. She did not churn quite a fast, it requiring 36 minutes to produce the butter, which submitted to 7 lbs., extremely wet, amazed, Lad remarkably then. The dairymaid Hess to consider that, on the chide, the churning oa the sth was e little above their usual speed, sod th-.t, from the Belfast chute beteg so meek larger, end the time allowed for its butter to berate scarcely eoneme aa with the stn quantity, its being a very little softer teas the others nut be easily accounted fur, as she never knew it to happen before at thee seams of the year when ,burring at their etedinaty spied, taking often from one to hearty two hum.

Fortunately the reddens of Sir. Bell was nearly half a mile away so that it escaped any injury—there being no water near the firemen were obliged to stead and case the premises burned down. Respecting the cases of the fires* doubt is entertained bat that it was the work of some iseendiary. DARING SUPALAST llt Hants.—On Monday even ing a most daring attempt was made by four men to eater the boos of Mr. Smith. Ninon, New Perk-street, a abort distance from the road that leads from Watford to Si. Albans. Two of the men sleeted an nuance by 'movies the inn hare from one of the windows, and proeeeded op alts to ransack the house, sad west into Mr. Smith's bedroom s where they began to remove slur iron chest is whin a quan tity of valuable property wee deposited. The chart wee • heavy one, and in trying to remove it they let somenkto fall, which caused a none, and the emotion of the Mme► keeper was by that moused. She begin to make ea stars, by crying out, "Came down, yea rascals." A boy who was la the house at the time ran oat, and said he was going for assistance, but forget to come back. The house limper, who poisoned more courage, went op stain is search of the benlars, who, having heard her come up stairs, made their nit into the attic, where she still fol lowed them.

The other was aot so completely covered shoot kis face (although the din. guise was of the same material) a portion of his features being visible to her; in emu queen of which, information was given to the Berta rural police at Watford, who lost no time is making all the necessary inquiries. The result wee that a George Payne, brother of that man Pique who 00111.4 abort time ago escaped from It Allen's gaol, while under sentence of transportatismomi has not bees heard of since; the oat, r person was semi Harris.

VIE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1851. Groat Britian, against 26,896 last year, and 32,842 in 1849. The quantity of the new crop stated to have changed hands ia not conflun•d, but is reissued more than one half, about 18,000 mounds being now cone.dered to be the acte.l savant of side.. The total quantity shipped from Ist November. 1849, to 31st October. 18.50, wu 32,493 chests, and from the Ist to the 6th of November, 81 chests. In reviewiog the pcsi,ion of this article for the put year, we fled that at the four periodical sales which toot , place 65,909 chests were advertised, of which about 27,600 were sold, about 14,600 being for export, and 13,000 for home consumption and mule; the quantity brought for the previoua year was 54,626 che.te, of which about 3 3,600 were sold. In the February sale pricy ruled from 3d. to 61. per lb. higher for Brutal, 2d. to 4d. for Madras, and 41. to 64. for Kurpah; 7,000 chests were sold out of 14,369 brought forwrrd. In the May solo prices were 'gala 2d. to 4d. per lb. higher for Bengal, par. to 3d. for Madras, and 4d. to 6d. for Kufrah ; 6,600 chests selling out of 12,214 b.ou"ht forward. In July a further advanos took plate upon B.nual and Kurpah of 2d. to 65. per lb , and for Madras par to 2d.; 7,100 chests selling out of 12,226 brought forward. Is the o.•tober sale speculation was most active. and rates riled for Bengal is , for Madras 9d. to 104., and for Kurpah 10d. to Is. per lb. higher; the sold amounted I. 7,000 Chats Out of 17,100 brought forwud, making an ad vane* for the jeer of ls. 101. per lb. for Bengal, Is. 4d. upon Madras, and 2s. upon Kufrah. The importations into this pert (or the year 1850 wen 26,896 cheats, @rebut 32,842 in 1E49; the dander sure 28,727 ahem., against 32,772, and the stork is now 27,•,06 chests, against .49.038 at the end of r 1849. The stork of Oiatusala indigo is now 999 morons against 397 at the same period of last yeas." TOBACCO. The circular of Messrs. Bremner and Till, dated London, Jan. 1, 1851, gives the customary review of the tcbacco market during the past year. It says: " The deliveries of strife must have been very heavy this year, or very nearly 7,000 hb s , PO 'bat the stock of strips nu again diminished 3,003 to 4,000 hhde. during the year. The stock of Virginia in Linden is very email, inc cargo of 500 hbda, being our only import; in Liverpool the stock is 2,000 bads. lets than last year, while in Scotland and other puts it is about an 'verve, so that 12.000 hhcls. of Virginia of all aorta comprise tt a entire stock in Great Britain. The stock of Kentucky strips in London is greatly reduced; in Liverpool it is about the same, and the great bulk of the total stock is Kentucky leaf, which sooner or later must go to the Continent. From figures it will be seen that the duty paid deliveries show a very heavy increase ; that the deli veries for bonding kre gradually decreasing, while for export they are exceedingly small,--in fact, that they very little exceed the imports from the Continent. It thus results that the stock is equal to last year's, but had there been the usual export busine,e, 1t would have sbewn a heavy falling off, and been the smelled of any for the last nine yetis. Our opinion is, and we feel pretty confident that the quantity of scrips made next year will not equal that of last. This being the ease, we need not mention oar views as to future prices. We do not expect to convince any one who is of a different way of thinking, conviction before proof is a difficult thing, but aa we have been pretty correct in our views during the last two years, we are quite content to let the result justify us again. To turn to leaf. Trio proceedings of foreign tobacco markets are so opposed to the ordinary course of events, that it is difficult to form any criterion to judge from. Whimper in a foreign market that there is likely to be a scarcity of coffee or sugar, and each one is ready to run a rare in driving up prices; but tobacco is heavier than lead. Prove that the prices at the place of growth are 30 per cent, above theirs—show, in a ldition, that the crop is a failure; no matter, they sell away, and even drag out their old manufactured stores to sell at hes :than they have to give for the raw article. The outride Wiwi,* of the present crop of Western and Virginia tobacco is 80,000 hhde., 30.000 less than the average, and of these the United States, England, and France, will require at least 60,000, leaving only 20,000 Mids. for the rest or the world. The crop of Maryland, being only an average, will no; do more than meet the cus tomary demands upon it, sad therefore the question for fo reign markets to consider is, bow fee the above 20,000 hhde, will go to supply their wants, and what prices they are likely to be called on to pay for them and the rest of their requirements. The mark,t is very quiet now, from several causes: one is the revival of the moss absurd notion of stemming tobacco in the la;cks, and receiving duty on the stripe tobacco. How this is to be satis'actorily ascer tained would puzzle the most astute c Sim of her Majesty's Customs, and as we find by eslculati Ce that it would require at leut 500 women constantly at work, it would be equally difficult to find the requisite room fur the operation, and would require a regular army of officers to keep them from soutotling at least nue hcgehead per diem. What reasoncan be adduced for it we cannot conceive, e ecept that the Ameri can stemmer le now making money inateed of losing, as he has been for the last few years, and the fact that prices are higher than is agreeable to those manufacturers who arc low in stock. The idea that government is to step in, to inter fere with the regular course of trade, and help those who would not help themselves, is too prepesterous for our ideas ; but the question is certainly mooed, and ought now to h►ve a final settlement. The imports during the last mont► are all from the continent, and consist chiefly of Maryland and low ordinary Kentucky. MARYLAND has been in fair demand throughout the year, but the consumption is very limited ; and as 790 hhde. have just arrived in Liverpool to be followed up by another cargo, we doubt very strongly if the imports from the costieent will leave a fortune. It stunt be recollected that the level of is not Kentucky S rips, but what it will fetch in its chief market—Bremen. NIOROMEAD AND CATUNDIsH remained firm during the early pert of the year, and during the summer months there was a good demand or fine qualities, at advanced prices. Oemmon quality remained very dull, till in August it was all suddently bought up, and reehipped to New York. This Tether 'tattled bath importers and exporters, and a good ad vance was established on all sorts by the end of the mouth, which continued till October, when an fitments business was den.; price, ran up from day to day, and we had to note an advance, from is' Septembr to let November, of 2,5 to 50 per eat. Since then there has been • slight reaction, but the holders are not disposed to meet the offers that are made for the Australian markets, so that though there are numerous inquiries, the sales lately have been trifling. HAVANNAII Cromer§ have been fetching very long prices through the year, and the supplies have been so inadequate to the demand, that it became doubtful at last if any would remain at all suitable for the consumption. Last month the largest arrivals throughout the year took place, and told readily at long prices—some absurdly no. The result of these prices is, that wholesale buyers are driven quite out of the market, and nearly the whole business is transacted between importer and retailer. Chian itoieg 100 to the lb. fetching 14e. and 15e. is an absurdity too great to last, and either the manufacturer in the H li, or the importer, must ba getting an exorbitant profit at the expense of the trade here, especially as the last amp of Havannab is both fine and plentiful. MANILLA CIIZROOTIL—As • natural conerquence of No. 2's having paid well in 1849, every one imported them in 1850. Parcel after parcel came in, all lio. 2, till prices, which opened at 6s. 3d. and 6s. 6d., rapidly fell till they' came to ss. 3d., and even 55., teem which- the recovery has been very slier. If these low prices have their natural effect of checking imports. No. 2 are worth buying. No. 3 have been sc roe the whole year, till at last the stock had dwindled doses to a very few cases, and prime rose to 7e.6d. Since then, OD some coming in, prices hove given way to our preeest quotations. MATANNAN TORACCO.—On the first arrival of the new crop, it was very evident that though riot equal to expecte, dons, it was still the best that had been seen for some years, and this little parcel fetched very long prices. Since then, the arrivals have been large and generally of • good charms. ter, though • few small lots have been utterly useless, from the fatal defect of not burning properly. Prices have bees fairly maintained, and sales have been promptly effected, so that very little but the last arrivals remains in first bands. Prices have net reached the game point as in past years, from the fact of very little of really first quality in every respect leeriest been sent here, but se it is, tome of our manufee.a rers now can turn out a cigar in every way equal to the late imports, and after paying duty on the tobacco would, be very glad to realise the same prices as are paid for the Haeannah made, which we think a pretty plain proof of what profit the ilavannah manufacturers are getting. YAItA —The imports have been small, and inferior in quality in every respect, and as the best of the old stock is all gone, and the Havannab has been good, the consumptioa of Yarn is now vary limited, and confined to those homes who bold the supplies of previ .us years. Principes are dead end gone, and Havannab and Yara are cow only substitutes for each other ;if the one is good and the other bad, the good gets all the consumption, but if they are both good together, as a al rule Havannah gets the preference. CUBA.—Very large supplies, chiefly from Spain, quality in general very inferior, bat it was ultimately all taken fir exportation, at prices that must certainly, after paying all charges, have paid the owner much better than if he had sent it direct to Germany. New 011AXADA.—Nothing of consequence occur' ed during the whole year. Consignments to Bremen have ben large, as usual, and the stock is now a: a low point. The eon sampti as here does not increase at all, and of that Glenn now claims more than an equal share. Ambition's has main tained one unvarying price-15d. to 18d. Giron, which began at Is. 41. to 25., is now very scarce, and the quota dens are Is. 9d. to 21. 3d. Having given such decided opinioas ea to the superiority of Giron, it is rather gratifying now to Ind the general verdict in our favour. DUTCH AND Onamaix.—The imports of German have been large, and generally of good quality, and some large sales have been made during the last month at long prices. The imports of Dutch have lately been very large for cutting puepeeee, and the demand has been equally great at long prices, especially considering that they have been in very in. tenor condition. BRAzte.—The only import during the year, 61 balm, which came to our charge, was so inferior that no one here would give the prim asked, and was eventually consigned to the continent. MANILA..—The only import of this during the year waste bales, also to our charge; also so inferior that no one would buy it for home trade, and this also was shipped to the continent, though fortunately for the importers not by them. Imports of this tobacco are much wanted, as the demand from our trade and the continent would be louse. diate, and at good figures. Canon.—There was another import of this during the year, and only one, so that the cultivation at present must be very limited, which is to be regretted. We now repeat the favourable opinion which we gave of this tobacco in our circular of this data lest year, and as there was a slight increase is the quantity this year, hope that the experiment is successful, and will soon result In a general cultivation of tobacco throughout the Wand. On reviewing the stock of cigar tobaccoes they will be found at a very low ebb in most eases, and of cheap fillers there is positively not a solitary bale offering, which is not to be wondered at, as consumption has been going on for a whole yoss without any nppliss to fill op the vasaam, and in a very abort time soma of them must disappear altoptber from the storks. Our cults are checked with the dock stocks of 30th November, thou at the end of the you not being l et ready. Smalls ars in br Fit demand; cigar stalks moderately so, and Allltflean stoat are very dull. COTTON.—LivEhroot , , J AN. 2.—The isles of cotton to day arc estimated at 6,000 bales, and consist of about 600 Pernam and Maranhao' at 81d. to 611., 200 Bahia at 81d. to fild.,loo Egyptian at Bd, to 61d., and 600 Surat at 6d. to 6d. Import since Thursday 3,000. The market closes tamely, yet steadily. Conspired with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds ars barely Id. per lb. down. We have had many buyers to day at id. per lb. decline, and many sellers at 1-16 d. The Arctic, which arrived last night, brings accounts of Ic. advent* in the Americas markets. MANCH CITED, JAW. 2 —The India letters are to hand, and generally bear out the accounts per telegraph and public prises , : they have consequently had a rather favour able influence on the mark-•. The accounts from the United States, by the Arctic, have also had a good effect in reassuring the market as to the probable maintenance of the rates of the raw material. The second day in the new year, however, is not one genteelly much characterised by business; like the day which follows Christmas Day, it to one on which men have not begun to bend their minds to business, and though, fir a broken week, we had a rather fair muster of mercantile men and manufacturers on 'Change, there was not a large business done. Prices were very firm, however, both in cloth and yarn. In India cloth and also in India qualities of yarn, there was same business done at full prices, and the feeling was one of confidence Red satisfaction. The causes which operated on Tuesday to check the market seem not to have been felt so much to day, and it is expected that we shall have a pretty general resumption of activity at the close of this and the commencement of next week. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. —Hormonal'. , J.n, 2. The principal manufacture of the counties of Nottingham and Derby—the making of erroneht cotton stock inga—keeps in a very healthy state, the frames tieing well employed, and were any favourable change to take place in fashion, it would become the most flourishing trade in the kingdom. The machine- wrough: hose are sit, in a healtny state: these are shaped by very ingenious machinery, and the threads laid between the re quired needles by another apparatus, thus having two machines appended to oat' frame. Tease machine-wrought hole are principally made at Button in-Asbfield end its vicinity; the hands being somewhat discontented at the bagmen, have called a delegate meeting, at Mansfield Woodhouse, to obtain a regulated price, as they allege the bagmen obtain large profits, keeping the price paid by the hoiden a mystery, and secret from their workmen. The cut-ups, which wore principally made in Nottingham and the vicinity, are in a tolerably fair state, and as yet have not felt the competition from the roundabout fumes, which, it is asserted, hove received a considerable check. The principal house that was so sarguine when M. Clausen first istriduced them, has, in some measure, become cautious as to making any more frames, as they require the round web to be cut to make the feet. The straight-bar frames, upon the tame priaciple, have also met with a check, as they hove abandoned making them, they not making a perfect selvage.—The drawer, pan taloon, and shirt branches are much depressed ; many of the hands are stinted, but few actually out of work. Nateeithstend , ng this depression, wide frames are increasing in value. The cotton glove trade i, somewhat dull, but not • to the extent of affe.cting the employment, the hands in general having work. The silk glove trade, se. important in the town, is in a vary fair state, the hands in the town being pretty well employed. The plain silk hose branch has sut• tered a revolution ; the advanced wages are as yet main tained. The bobbin net trade remsins very dull, though I with some , of the houses there is a little activity fir the Leiosic fair. The plain trade, of course, is in a much better I state than the fancy branches, which, in despite of several new manufaetures, are slowly declining in number. The back Bilk lace trade feels some of this depression, as does the • new manutacture of curtains, bat not to any extent. The I warp lace, in sem, few quarters, at length heels a shade of r this depression, but it is nut supposed that this will last long. t The lace trade has been at a low ebb in Belgium for many I, years, bum a capitalist has ventured to waive some ma t chines to work in that country. The machines. both bobbin r Oct and warp, are in general at work, of course the workmen - in some shops suffer severely from alterations. The intro s auction of steel needles, both in the warp and hosiery trade, has c .iped a material change far the better in those matte r factures. La-ge quantities of steel needles are exported to i the continent —.hone Review. WOOL —Baal:moan, Jan. 2.—The year opens with great firmness in price for all kinds of combing Wools, but the transactions are not animated. MANTIFACTURBS.BRADFORD, 2.—Yarns are in steady ropiest, equal to the production, and firm in price. The business doing is clsiefly for the hams trade, ea that any erdi n given out for shipping may give a further improve meat in price. Pieces: The advanced price of yarns compels the manteac urers to seek higher prices for geode, and the I business doing is at an improvement on lut month. CORN —RANRUILT, J. 2 —The market was S. dun as possible for all kinds of grain, and, the condition brine much affected by the damp weather, the buster, d ping win very trilling. Pricer of Wheat and Barley must be considered in favour of the buyer. Brans and bats without alt, ration. The following are Ile prices : Wheat, 4e. 2d. to Ss. per ['whet. Barley, lbs. 6d. to 225.

TO EOCAPI. Mr. Mellor and Mr. Spooner appeared on the put of the crown, Mr. Partridge en the part of the prisoner. Mr. Mellor suited the cue. The prisoner war a turnkey in the gaol of Warwickshire, situate at Coventry, who had the cue of • prisoner named Thompson, who was confined oa • charge of forging Banked England notes. It appeared that the prisoner procured a key to be made which would fit many of the locks of the cells, which key was found in his house. By statute 16, Geo. 2, cap. 31, no inference is made whether the escape shell be completed or not, and the statute 4, Geo. IV. cap. 64, fixes the punishment for such offenoee. Thompson bad been committed in the autumn en • charge of :wiling Bask of England notes, and the prisoner told Thompson that if the sum of 1201. could be made up, an escape cculd be effected. Drawings of other keys were nude by prisoner, one of which would open r.o less than 00 locks, and ordered various artides of dress to aid Thompson when he had .got out of prima. F , another onsoner, communicated certain facts to a solicitor of the name of Jackson, who forthwith took the necessary sups to prevent the escape being completed. Mr. E. H. Jackson, examined—On the 18th of December I was sent for by Inner to the gaol. Us told me something which bides el me to lead for the governor of the gaol. Tee prisoner wee sent for. Mr. Stanley, the governor, told him that Froxer had said he was about to aid Thompson in st eeping, and then Frazer said to the prisoner, " You (the prisoner) have been in communication with a woman at Wolverhampton, and you are to have 12( 1 1. when Thompson goo me. Von bare also got keys which will let him cut of the gaol, and • butcher's frock end billy rock hat to dis robe Thompson, which had been sent from Wolverhampton, end if the key is not now in your pocket, it is in your home." The prisoner denied that there was any truth in *be and showed some letters, which he said was all he had. Stanley then left. I saw Hilleway then take a letter out of the envelope, and put it in the tire, which was consumed. Cross-examined by Mr. Partridge—l was 'elicitor to Frazer to defend hiss egaiust the charge of forgery. George F (prisoner in gad)-1 am confined on a charge of forgery Know princes. I heard • ooaverastioa between Thompson and Holloway, the prisoner, early in October. Thompson said he had 1801. in the be ak, and if be (Holloway) would aid him to escape he would give him 1001. Daring the last cessions I saw Holloway and Thump. eon again talking together, and a planed the goof was shown. Tbompsoa said Holloway had taken impressions of the key a of the gaol as cards, and then pencilled them afterwards. Thompson said they were made at Birmingham, and it would be math better for me it he escapee., as they could not toy the without him, he being the prtncipal. ity Hodges—Wu acquainted with Thompson before ha went to gaol.

As soon as 1 saw the handwriting 1 said, " I know you have something to do wits it, as I know the handwriting to be that of • female who has been corresponding with Thompson." I said, "If you are innoe..nt, you cannot object to my seeing what you have in your house." 1 stept out for a police officer, and when I came back Mr. Jackson to:d me about the note being horst. I then searched biassed found the envelope. I also found two addresses on him, both to "Miss Slater, Role Cottage, Wolverhampton." One is in his handwriing. As I was going out he said, " It's no use, you will find tho chirp es mentioned by Feuer, but the key I threw away on the Allerey Read." I found the smock frock, apron, sad Wilcock hat in • handkerchief at his house. Mitchell gave me • key. This key would open the door of the impaction room into the street better than my own—(key produced). Holloway said "he hoped I would be as easy with him as I could." I slid, "He should have all the law would allow him," no more. (Patterns of cards produced.) There are patterns of keys of various parts of eke gaol ; one would opus eighty or ninety locks.

The prisoner applied and represented that he we. deputed by a pensioner named Richard Weeded!, of Chatham, who was in the receipt cal 101. per annum from the Board of Admiralty, to obtain his pension. in consequence of his illness, which prevented him from applying for it himself. The prisoner produced the seeeseary documenU, and the clerk handed him over 21. 10a. in gold, being one quarter's pension due to Wasdell. The 'wiener signed a receipt for the money, aed it was afterwards ascertained that Wasdell had been dead sines 1849. The prisoner was apprehended, and admitted the fraud.

After a good deal of trouble and much noise and confusion, the horse wu stopped, and the prisoner taken into custody. He was quite drunk, and as children were in the habit of playing about the lane, it was a wonder some of them were not killed by his mad freak. The prisoner said he was esercising the hone, which was young and spirited, and " bolted" a few minutes before the policeman caught eight of biro. Mr. 11811 asked him what he was I—The prisoner said he wee a boot-closer, sod had been at work all day. The owner said the horse was very high spirited, and he had therefore given strict directions that be should not be taken eat of the stable. The prisoner, however, who hoed over the stable, had done so in defiance of hie orders, ant the horse was much injured by the rough manner in which he had ridden hies. Mr. Hall fined the prisoner 20e., or ten days' imprison meat. The fine was paid. WORSHIP-STREET. FRAMS DT • WOLDIRR ON view EASTERS COONTIRS RAILWAY Coweanv.—Joeses Laws, a private in the 2nd battalion of the Coldstream °mods, was agreed with defrauding the above named company. An arrangement existed between this eempany end the War office, which entitled soldiers travelling on the Queen's service to c nveyenee at the rate of one penny per mile by second• clue, on the production of a "route' or certificate signed by the commanding officer. On the 14:h of December last the defendant produced a permit purporting to hear the signature of Colonel Hay, and asked for a ticket to Norwich. A pus ticket was given to him on payment of 61. 61, the lull fare being 21e. Lieut -Colonel Hay stated that defendant was a corporal lon probati , n, quartered at St. John's wood barracks. As he was on furlough at the time of the alleged offence, he would not be Witted to travel at contract fare. In come. quince of a communication from the War-office he inspected the permit produced; it was not in his handwriting, nor signed by his authority. Defendant was ordered to return on Friday last. Witness questioned him that day on the reline', and he then admitted that be had written it all himself, in consequence of which he was given into custody charged with "forging • pass." Defendant, who declined saying anything, was thou remanded till the 9th instant. Toe MORN? COLLISIoNS I'PON TUE EASTERN COVE TIES RAILWAY.— Wen. Lloyd, an engine driver on the ' Bourn Counties Railway, surrendered for final examina tion, charged with having, while in canted of the Norwich expr.ss train on the night of Monday, the 23rd ult., driven hie engine in such s careless and reckless manner as to cause a serious collision with the Colchester train. Upon the case being called on, Mr. Maynard, of the firm of Crowder and Maynard, solicitors of the Company, stated that from the facts which had been ascertained since the last examination, the directors had been led to the conclu sion that although the defendant was not altogether free from blame, yet that in consequence of the density of the stmosptere upon the oight in question there was every reason to believe that be could not distingui s h t he tonal signals to warn and guide persons in his position, and they had therefore no wish to press the charge any fur her against him. At the same time he felt called upon to state that lust before the defendant reached the station he had already parted over one fog signal, and consequentle— hlr. Bawling', of Bedford-row, solicitor for the defuse, here rose and said that he must protest spinal the coarse cow being pursued by the solicitor for the company, who was about to make an ex parte statement to the periodic@ of his client, when they had openly expressed their intention to abandon the charge altogether. if that cour.• were per sisted in, he should insist upon going fully into all the mr contract:es of the cast, as he courted the most searching in vestigation on the part of the defendant, which be felt satis fied must completely exonerate him from all culpability in the traosaction. He considered that the conduct of the company throughout towards the defendant had been wholly unjustifiable, as after instituting a rigorous inquiry before their board, which must have put them in full posse.. ',ion of the entire facts of the cue, they bad determined upon giving this man into custody, and having followed that up ' by a charge at this court, which terminated in Ida liberation upon his own recognisuces, they had now, when he surren dered to meet and relate the charge, felt themselves com pelled to admit they could not sustain the c)mplaiut, and must therefore altogether atom don the prosecution. No intimation whatever bad been given either to him or the defendant of their intention to adopt this view of the case until within the last hour. Mr. Maynard said that it was not until a late hour on the preceding night that he was himself aware of the ve ntilation the directors had tome to, or a timely notice to that effect would have been forwarded to the defendaat or his solicitor. Mr. Rawlings said that, however this might be, he bonged to intimate that the company would be held reeponiible for the injurious treatment his client had been subjected te, whom they bad hastily given into custody upon so serious a matter, and then as suddenly abandoned the charge against him, without affording him the opportunity of vindicating his character. Mr. Ilammill was of opinion that quite sufficient bad now been said on both sides, and as the company declined to carry on the prosecution he must order toe defendant to be at once discharged. THAMES. OCTRAOR ON A Cnten.— Thomas Savage, GO years of cgs, described as a labourer, was charged with violating the per son of a child not quite 12 years of age, named SWIM Brough. The facts of the cue, which are wholly unfit for publicatioe, exhibited a most revolting state of morals as regarded all the parties implicated. Prisoner had repeated the offence eight or nine tames, and her mother, who gave her evidence with great flippancy, was aware of the facts, and spoke to the prisoner on the subject n long time before she preferred the chug,. The prisoner, who denied the girl's statement, was fully committed for trial. Shortly afterward., the girl's nth thee applied for her expenses, a request with which Mr. Ingham, the presiding magistrate, iadignantly retuned to comply, strongly intimating his sense sat the manner in which the had neglected to look after the morels of her child. MARKETS. PRODUCE MARKET. MINCING-LANS, Jaw. 2. The following observations are extracted from the cif *star punt issued by Messrs. 11. W. Jewesbury and Co.: "The business transactions in the foreign and colonial produce markets during the part year have been very extensive, and the value of several leading articles has bun considerably enhanced ; the opening of the markets this year will wear a different aspect from that of several preceding ones, which at the commencement were marked by considerable speculative feeling. This was par ticularly the cage last veer, when the inclination to 'pecula tion which showed itself at the close of the previous year recommenced with increased vigour upon the opening of the markets, when lug. transactioas in almost every article were entered into, end, consequently, prices rose considerably above previ•iue rates. Thu feeling, however, suddenly gave way towards the cad of the month. and very shortly entirely subsided. Things remained dell until about the middle of May, when an improvement took place, which lasted until the end of July. In August and September the markets were again flat, but in the beginning of October the attention of capitalists was turned to produce, and extensive purchases were made in indigo, cochineal, cotton wool, coffee, &c. ; the unsettled state of Germany interfered with these operations to some extent ; that retarding cochineal may be said to have entirely failed, the quantity hare being excessive. This year there is no such feeling widely prominent, but there is a good prospect of a large and steady demand, both for export and home consumption, the stocks in the hands of dealers and con. sumer', both at hone and on the continent, being unusually light. The importations of sugar, coffee, and indigo have been less than for provisos years, but have been larger for cochineal, lac dye, saM wee, and dye woods. The deliveries have been upon a satisfactory and increased wale, and prices ally are higher than at the commencement of last year. The alteration made by the Bank la the rate of discount from 2i to 3 per cent. will lead to mews a healthy tone in the markets generally. The late aosounte from India and Chine continue favourable, both as regards imp rts and exports; this, together with a good demand for home con sumption, has caused prices to advance for cotton goods ; In the woollen districts a full average amount of business has been done for this sows of the year, and toe stocks continue light." With reference to the important article of indigo, the earns authority obeerves:—" During the past month the demand has been confined to small order' for consumption, the speculative demand having almost ceased, and pnces are rather easier; the deliveries show a considerable decrease for the last two month', chiefly in the amount exported, which may he attributed to the unsettled state of Germany, sad the fact that about 2,000 chests have been expand by France to the continent of &trope, We have to moths, the arrivals of this article from inclinet ports, each as Barre, Cadiz, New York, &c., which, redwing their stocks, will, in all probability, have to be replaced frees this market et higher rata. It is not anticipated that price, will farther dacha*, bat. on the country, with every prospnt of an improved demand, they will, most likely, be bison. The late advices from Java are very unfavourable regarding the new crap of indigo; should this he confirmed it will further tend to icemen firmness in this market. By advice, from Cal. cretin, the total oubtunt of the new crop is estimated at 116,000 malteds, which will be equal to about 30,000 chests, el which about 20,000 will be the quantity destined for PUBLIC SALE.

SPANISH RATLWATB.—We find in the Spanish papers a single: circumstance in connexion with Spanish enterprise. The railway from Aler to Santander has excited great interest in Spain, but the went of means has prevented it from receiving great financial support. The Siscayans and other enterpri.ing natives spread over S •uth America have come forward and subscribed liberally. Previous advice, reported large subscriptions from M.,xico, and the last Pacific mail brings the information that 4bo stares have been subscribed for in the famous city or Son Luis de Potosi, in Peru, so much enthusiasm is felt by the natives of the province in every part of the world.
