This was an appeal from the decision of the cosnatimioner refusing to admit a proof for 3,000 i. tendered by the trio. tees of the bankrupt's marriage settlement. It appeased that upon the occaaion of his marriage the baakrupt had executed a deed of settlement dated 27th May, 1861. wherein he covenanted with the trustees therein named that in ease the marriage should take effect he WWII. lii of •• the first capital moneys or red se aspitalinessmal Mate. or capitalised income of or to whisb he ebeen' he ee hemme suirsessert or in any wise entitled eller the ellummieetlea of': the said intended marriage," mar imam to he paid, within us calendar months after ke Amid lave between so re amed or entitled, nate the melees of the melenesat the sum of 3.0001. apes the emits thereof.

His debts on the same day amounted to 16,0701. The bankrupt thenceforth, WI his bankruptcy in May, 18.52, contii.ued to carry on his business as a picture dealer; but at that time had paid no part of the 3.0001. under the covenant in the settlement to the trustees. Upon the trustees tendering a proof foe the amount, the eons. missioner refused to admit such proof, on the ground that the expression employed in the t to indicate the fund out of which the 3,0001. was to he paid, pointed to some future acquisition and saving up of property, operating as n withdrawal of the same from the bankrupt's business. Against this decision the present petition of appeal was Bled. _ . _ Mr. Cal!lard (with whom was Mr. Follett) appeared for the trustees of the settlement in support of the smut'. Mr. Lee, for the assignees, conteaded that the liability incurred upon the covenant was • mere contingent liability. Capital monies, or real or personal estate, or capitalised income, could only mean such part of the profits arising from the con mentor's business as he might withdraw there from for the purpose of accumulation. It could not mean that part of his estate actually employed in his business, or the income derived from such business. It meant, in fact, tiled capital, as distinguished by Dr. Adam Smith from circulating capital. That being so, there had been no breach of the covenant at the date of the bankruptcy, in asmuch as no such fund had then arisen from the busier* of the bankrupt. That this was so was shown by the bankrupt's accounts. There, thereto», had been no breach of the covenant at the date of the adjudication, and, there having been no breach, there could be no debt proveable wider the covenant. Lord Justice Knight Brum said that, considering the strange language of the instrnment, it geoid oat be matter of surprise that different =ads shenld take differ ent views as to the construed= to be put upon it. Upon the whole, however. bo was of opinion that, as the tasakrupt ins shown to haus been worth 3,0001. sad upwards beyond all his data at doe date of his marriage, a breach of the covenaat took dasa six calendar months after such marriage, mad thssaita mon =ea six caleadar months before the beaky** end la esosigalace of which, the peruses with whom the seament was made would here been entitled to recover the 3,00 W. by action. There being, therefore a right of action la respect of the 3,00 W. at the date of t he hankre , there lams also be a right of proof against the estate.

The Special Winter Commission for this county wee opened at the New CourtS, Sc. George's-hall, yesterday afternoon, by Mr. Justice Cromwell and Mr. Justice Crompton. This morning their lordships attended prayers at St. George's Church, after which they proceeded to the courts, at which the business commenced at 11 o'clock. After the preliminaries usual on the opening of the court for business had been gone through, and the grand jury taken their seats, Mr. Justice Creeswell proceeded to ad dress them in the crown court, when his lordship presided. He regretted tho long list of ones he should have to send before them ; but was rejoiced, however, that the cases, with the exception of a few, were comparatively light. The only ease tried daring the day of say importance was theffollowing CH•110111 OF Ml:Anil AT MANCHISTIIIL James Connor. 91, and Margaret O'Brien, 38, were charged with the murder of Edward O'Brien, husband of the female prisoner, under the following circumstances:— O'Brien, on the 16th of September, was in a beer-house in Jersey-street, Manchester, drinking, when Connor, of whom he was jealous, and his wife came in. Much quarrelling ensued, and fighting took place, when O'Brien was taken to his own house. He came out again, and began to fight with Connor, when both fell, O'Brien striking his heed against the kerb stone. Connor got up and left O'Brien, who was found insensible and sent to the infirmary. He was found to be suffering from compression of the brain and insensibility, from which he house surgeon of the infirmary considered that the injuries which caused the man's death were more likely to be caused by his head against the kerb-stone than from any blows ho might le received. The wife was not present during the last, and undoubtedly the fatal, encounter. The jtryfound Connor Vaulty of manslaughter, and Mar- garet O ' Br ien Not Onsity. The woman was ordered to be discharged, and Connor to be imprisoned for three months with hard labour. THE POLICE' COURTS. MANSION-ROUSE. Lionel George Thompson, of Riches -court, Lime-street, was brought before the Lord Mayor, and Sir Robert W. Carden, for final ezamina , ion, upon the charge of having conspired with ethers to defraud several persons who in. tended to emigrate to Australia of sums of money, upon the pretence that he would procure for them passage to that eouutry.

Carden, unions to render all possible serene to the injured parties, postponed the investigation for some days, in the hope that the promise of the defend ants' counsel that a completely satisfactory arrangement was in progress, would be performed to the letter. .Of the performance of anything like it there appeared to be no chance, and the whole of the proceedings were COM pleted . against the defendant ; during yesterday, the wit nesses Ina variety of eases having been examined and bound over to give evidence at the Central Criminal Court.

After I paid the mean I eaw the defendant and wanted to change the sblp, bale would not allow me to do so, and I asked him kr a, new back, and he offered me one half, but I re bid to take it. I afterwards received a letter purporting to eons from the defendant, in consequence of which I went to Liverpool, bet fond I could not go on board the vessel. The contract wee repudiated. When I paid the 121. I believed the defendant was the agent in London of the South Sea. I was not then aware that there was any other London agent. When I paid the money I believed the defendant wee authorised by the niters and managers of the ship to receive the mosey, and I should not have paid it unless I had believed that I was binding the owners. I was not aware that it nee spendation en his part. Michael Haydon (detective city nicer) said—l appre hended the defendant. I went to Southampton, to Ashford, and different parts of London, is search of him. lib counting-house was closed, and from what I heard I found he was out of the way on account of warrants being out against him. Edward Stevens, of New-ent Lambeth, said—l was about to proceed to Australia, and I went to the defendant's office, and paid, on the 13th of September, to him 161. on account of the passage money foe myself and my wife, to sail by the South S. On the 21st of September I paid at the oMas 131. 60. 6d., the balance of thereon,. I believed that I was paying the authorised agent of the ship, and that I wen heeding the owners. Gavin Shotter, clerk to the defendant, said the contract ticket produced by St is signed by the defendant. The 13/. 6s. 6d. was paid in my presence, and was handed over to the defendant. Edward Nicho ls, a labourer, residing at Barbet, said—l was about to pto Australia, and paid at the defendant's ease the sun of 151. for my passage money on board the South Sea. I received the contract ticket, sod I paid an additional rum of 11. for bed aad bedding, and received a memorandum to that effect.

I bare had converse= the atudeft epos the subject of that vessel. He 'gambol se to receive the money from Mr. Tuckey, and to glee thee eastract ticket. I received 121. of the passage newsy teen Mr. Turkey. I might have received the other IL, but I meant may whet er I received it, withcut reformism% the leek& I auseued for the money I received from Mr. Tearer to the dettudent. I believed that we had authority to reeplee Id pasengere, from a letter we had from Mean. lieless. It esene be poet. I opened it. It was shown to the dadandeat, sad I acted upon it by his direction. The eau et 111. referred to in the contract ticket has not been paid to bleare. Babies, leseause the defendant had not the money to pay over. The defendant had a warrant is sued apron him about two months ago, for receiving money for another vessel, and has kept out of the way seer since to avoid being taken. I hav e h a d communication with him on the subject throe he sou keeping out of the way both in writing and personally. I have not written communications by me. As far as I believe, the defendant was the only person who constituted the firm of Thompson Brothers. I did not know of a brother in the firm. I never saw such • person. The defendant told me sine* the warrant was issued that he hoped to settle this matter. He said that he should come in for some money in • short time, and hoped to mettle it. I saw any written authority constituting the defendant as the actual agent of the South Sea. I used to pay the mosey either to the de fendant personally, or to the defendant's bankers--Smith, l'ayne, and Co. The lett. r produced by the witness Howes is in the defendant's handwriting. I made oat the contract ticket by hie direction. I went with the defendant to the banking-house of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Ce., and pre sented the order fur the 221. 10s. received from the witness, Mr. Howe.. The defendant received the moony. Charles Howes, of Cholsey, near Wallingford, In Berk shire, said—l wee about to go to Andean with my wile and three children, and in order to raise the money I sold everything off; and, having seen an advertisement, I came to Lom and went to the defendant's cases. 1 THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1852. them NW Shatter, tle• doleadont's @lark. I a ft erwards wrote to the defenduit, nod in reply received the bettor re dwood, dated 13th September: " 1, Skshoo-tourt, Lineestreet, London, "Sept. 13, 18611. " Mr. Charles Howes, Cholsey, Waltiegfeed. 0 Sir,—Our first rassel wW be the South Sm. We have no doubt she will get right to ma before the end of this month. Only a few vacancies. In order to secure your bertha yea most forward no half the mug, sad that wili est delay, as the vessel is filling very rapidly.—We are, sir, years obediently, " Tnowrowt Brothers." Acktrused, "Mr. C. Howes, Choliwy, Wallingford." In weasequence of that letter I paid into the Wallingford Bank 22J. Ns., to he paid through Jones, Loyd, and Co.. of London, to the defendant. I afterwards received the con tract ticket produced, and the triter acknowledging the receipt of the money. When I paid the money I believed the defendant was the agent of the South Sea, and that I was making the owners liable to me. Mr. James Baines said-1 sin a shipowner and broker at Liverpool. The owner of the South Sea is Captain Brett. lam the agent and broker of the remit. I have a London agent, Messrs. Jaffrey aid Company. Thompson and Brothers were not agents to the resod nor to myself. We received a letter to ask os what terms we would take emi grant', and we seat them weed, and if they had sent the money and the emigrants they would have been taken. We held our house reepon.ibli to take fifteen passengers from Thompson Brothers, but they have not paid any por tion of the passage money for any one of them. Our un dertaking to keep places was conditional upon the money being paid. Cross-examined for the defendant by Mr. Hobler—l have known Thompson and Company for throe months. They have shipped passengers by me for other vessels. They may have paid me 3,0001., but it was always understood that they were to have 61. per ant. on the passagt-meney paid to ns. I received money for another vessel through my friend Mr. Wanostroeht, who was in Londe's. We have en arrangement with Thompson and Co. for 15 paseengers, but they have not remitted any money to us. The witness, in examination in chief, further said—The defendant is not the person with whom we made our ar rangements. It was with an older person of that name, who is, I believe, the father, and who I thought was at the head of the firm. The money we received was from the elder Thompson. We did not receive any money of him for the South Sea. Maria Bhorto, wife of E. Short°, of Deptford, watch maker, said—l was present at the office of the defendant Iwitb Mr. William Bhorto when be paid SU. 155., and re. I ncised the contract produced from Mr. Bhotter. It was partly with Mr. Shorto's money, and partly George Apl wyn's. They are both gone to Australia in another vessel. Gavin Shutter (clerk to the defendant) was again ez smined—He said, I wrote the contract note produced by Mrs. Bhorto by desire :of the defendant. I was present when it was paid. It was accounted for to the defendant. There is an entry in the defendant's books of this payment. The memorandum produced is in the defendant's hand writing. I believe the defendant's father was at the office ' that day, and I believe he paid it into the bank on account of the firm of Thompson Brothers. The defendant alone constituted that firm. The defendant's father used to sign cheques on the bank for Thompson Brothers, " L.H. Thomp son." His name is Lionel Hill Thompson, I believe. The banker, paid thir.e cheques; they were authorised to do so. Mr. Thompson generally came once a day to the office. The Lord Mayor said the charges against the defendant were charges of the most serious offences committed against • number of persons who had determined to risk all the money they could scrape together by the sale of their goods and the kindness of their friends in order to avail them ' selves of the opportunity of trying to better their condition in • distant country. A more heinous offence could not be perpetrated than the systematic plunder of such people, and the defendant would be sent to answer in another place, but was at liberty to state what he pleased in the present stage of the proceedings. The prisoner, instructed by Mr. nobler, said " I will re ern my defence, my lord," and was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Corn: Henry Selterr Thou was brought before Mr. Hard wick for final examination, charged with obtaining 301. from Mr. Webb, pianoforte-maker, 33, Soho-square, by false and fraudulent pretences. Some further evidence having been offered, the prisoner was committed (or trial. CLUB CATTLE SHOW. Yesterday being the first public day, there was, notwithstanding the continual rain, a strung muster of farmers, farmers' friends, butchers, and a fair sprinkling of the aristocracy at the Bauer. The prise animals were en ' riously looked after, and a general approval was signified of ' the awards. Some Coleshill pigs exhibited by Lord Radnor were much admired, although they did not, as was the case last year, carry away a premium. Par chasers are already thronging in fast, and many of the prime lots have already the ticket " sold" over their stalls. The quantity of miscellaneous articles displayed in thu eel , leries is more than usually large this year. A vast quantity of agricultural machinery has been sent in by various well-known makers, and amongst them a marked increase may be noted in the number of substitutes for manual la bour, showing that the question of supply is already being felt among the farmers and their purresors. The rise of ' wages was a general topic of conversation while these arti cles were under examination, and opinions were freely ex pressed that reaping machines and other articles of that elms will soon be as much in demand here as in America. An evidence of the interest which, apart from political con siderations, the Earl of Eglintoun takes in the substantial interest and prosperity of his viceroyalty, is afforded in the exhibition of an interesting collection of Irish produce. Through his pswerful influence with the club a prominent situation has been obtained for the specimens of green crops and other articles of agricultural produce, sent over by the Royal Dublin Society, which wen much visited yesterd a y, and became objects of general curiosity sad commendation. By means of a simple diagram, the visitor is first instructed in the comparative sines of the English, Scotch, and Irish acres, and then is shown a tabular statement of compara tive rents. Having thus ascertained that an Irish acre at 116 e. rent is equivalent, from its greater sise, to an English one at 9s. 3d., he proceeds to examine the enormous man golds sent in by the Earl of Chariemont, the splendid butter contributed by Mr. Dargan, the eminent contractor, and a large assortment of Sile sian beet, the raw material of the infant sugar factories of Ireland. According to the statement of Mr. Corrigan, curator to the society, who attends to give all necessary information, the produce of beet in Ireland is 90 tons to the acre—a result which created much surprise among the visitors. The quality was also much approved of; and an extensive dealer in butter pronounced Mr. Durgan's specimen of that article equal to the best Dutch. At the present moment, when English capital is so fre quently invited to Irish investment, a visit to this stand may be safely recommended as a ready means of obtaining mach useful and reliable information as to the measure ment of lend in Ireland, its productive powers, and the proportion its rent bean to that of England. COTTON.—Liviaroot., Dec. 7.—The sales of cotton to-day are estimated at 2,000 bales, and comprise 80 Egyp tian, 6j to 9; 160 Surat, 4 to 41; 10 Sea Islands, 20.1. to 22d. The market chime heavily. Prices of all kinds are id. down since Friday, and we suepeet that on Americans 6 and under would be ebeerfully submitted to; at and 61d.. seem pretty 'toady. Iliawcisierza, Dec. 7.—We have had an exceedingly depressed and fiat market, both for cotton yarns and cloths. Yarns have given way id. to id per lb. in price ; and some houses report them id. lower generally, ss compared with the quotatioes of lest Tuesday. This sudden further de cline is eoneequent on the adv , ees by the Boston steamer, Canada, which report a decline on cotton of id. per lb. at New York on the receipt of last market reports hence. But even with these reductions we have bad exceedingly light sales. spinners being unwilling to press goods upon a falling market, and buyers holding back to see how far the decline is likely to go. In cloth prices have not given way so uni formly as in yarns. For madapollams lid. per piece redac tion would have been accepted in some instances, but few sales could be effected. In fact there wea little disposition to do business, and prices are very irregular, and price lists merely nominal. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Linoa, Dec. 7.—We have had • fair businem done in the cloth belle to-day ; about au average fur the time of year. CORR.-licit., Dec. 7.-At today's market our farmers brought forward a good supply of Wheat, mostly in fair condition. There was a brisk demand from millers, who paid 3,. over the rates of this day week for best samples; inferior and out-otoondition lota, 2s. dearer. Foreign keeps in good demand at proportionate rates to English. The Barley trade is rather out of joint, until it i s ascerta i ne d how the proposed reduction of the malt tee is likely to affect the article ; very little doing in grinding Barley for want of supplies. Oats continue to attract some attention, and, we consider, are the cheapest thing on the market. Beans and Peas are both rather dearer. Linseed remains firm. Linseed Cakes rather quieter, but 101. per ton is still the current price for first quality. Itapeseed has been nearly cleared off, at an advance of 20s. per last. Rape Cakes looking up, and U. 6e. generally asked.

The show of new wheat rather improves, for which the dtinand is fully equal, and this description, as well as old, is Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer than on Friday. Barley steady in price.

The export. In the sass time comprise 2,385 quarters wheat, 212 quarters beans, 1,038 sacks and 3,702 barrels dour. We has bad an excited trade during the week past, end a very large business has been done in wheat and flour, at an advance of 3d. to 4d. per 701 b.. on the former, and 2.. to 3e. per seek and barrel on the latter article. Oatmeal for forward delivery Ina met with an extensive speculative demand, and large quantities have been sold, at Is. 6d. to 2s. per load more money. Indian corn also has attracted more attention, but holders asking very high prices, few sales have been effected. In other articles there has b een a good business doing, at gradually improving rake The weather continues wet and unsettled. At this day's market there was a good attendance of town and country buy's, who at first showed much unwillingness to follow up the advance; however, ultimately, a fsir amount of business was done in wheat and flour, both for corsumption and on speculation, at an advance of 3d. to 4d. p.r 70115., and 2s. 6d. to 3s. per sack and barrel. Oats and oatmeal on the spot were in moderate request, at Id. per 451bs. and Is. per load more money; whereas the latter article fur forward delivery brought an advance of fully 2a. Gd. per load. Barley, beans, and pease were saleable in retail, at rather more money. Indian corn in store was in demand on spe' ettlation, and may he quoted Is. to 2a. per quarter dearer; cargoes afloat were generally held for a similar advance, which, however, checked basins..

CATTLE.—SALISBUILY, Dee. 7.—Our great Christman Cattle market falling this year on the 21st Dec., it will (by a requisition to the mayor) take place on Tuesday next; consequently tha supply of Beasts to-day was of a very meagre character, scarcely reaching 100 in number, and the attendance of buyers was small, therefore very little business was done. Prices of last market, were un altered. With regard to Sheep, there were only • few coops peened, which made former rates. The l'ig market was also scantily supplied, and the business trans acted was on the must limited terms. Beef, cow and heifer, 7s. to Bs. per score.
