I had a few days on my heads, and I thought I would go to Briguton before opening at Drury-lase. I went to Mr. Levy, and proffered my ser vices for one week for half a clear Inuit. He said he (emit not agree to that. I said, "What do you propose ?" He said nothing. I said, " I will open with you on Mon ! day, sad take half a clear benefit on the Wednesday, =sk i,' • clear nine nights' engagement." He said he would give me the half clear benefit. He them said, " What are you going to do the other three eights ; you might as well play the week out ?" I said, " Well, if I bleak' be 51. short in my benefit, I dare say you will not object to give me that 51. for the remaining three nights." He said, "It's all right," and away they went, and away I went. I played on till the Thursday. On that day the printer pre seated me with a bill. I have frequently employed Phillip', brit I owed him nothing. I gave him 61. 9s. for printing bills for my benefit night. Before doing so, I waited on Mrs. Levy, and on Mr. Levy's meaner, and asked if they were going to pay it. They refused to do ito as Mr. Levy was gone to town. They refused to guaran tee the payment of the bill, or half of it. I said I was ready to per form if they would de so. I have had several benefits in my time. In the ems of a clear benefit, the est,* bills are paid fur according to arrangement. In all my engagements, the manager has paid for extra print i ng of that kind. Mr. Levy said nothing about deductions when the engagement was made. HJ Lord Campbell—No bills of W thntre were printed annosacing my benefit. The extra bills wen not ineluded is the W. 9s.

Mr. Levy was recalled, and denied that he had been told that Mr. Barry intended to print the bills. Mr. B irry had said that he would pay for the extra bills if he (Levy) would sot. _ _ _ Barry—l deny that. Mr. Sesjeant Thomas said the jury must decide between Mr. Levy and Mr. Barry. Mr. Berjsant Wilkins replied. Lord Campbell, in summing up, said the verdict of the jury mast depend upon whether they thought the engage ment was for a fortnight or for nine days. He thought the evidence preponderated to show that the agreement entered into wet that set up by the plaintiff. It they found for the plaintiff, he thought the damages ought to he exceedingly moderate. According to Levy's own account they would sot amount to more than about 71.

In the next session this act was amended by the 12 and 13 Vic., cap. 108 ; and the defendant offered the plaintiffs to edit the two acts.

Mr. Clarkson having been heard in support of the in dictment; The Recorder said that at present he was inclined to think that an indictment for embesalsment could not be sustained upon the facts before the wart. It was clear, liewaver, that a great moral fraud had been committed, and IM AI set feel husself called upon to stop the case, but if it obelhi become necessary he would reserve the point for %Ethic wwwideration by the Court of Criminal Appeal. Mr. Parry at once stated that he could not gi v e any answer to the facts.

Island, 21d. per lb. MANCIIIISTII, Nov. 29.—There has again been a very quiet market, with a very limited extent of business, whilst prices are without any quotable change. The transactions in yarn have been principally for Germany and India, and one er two houses report a rather better business, but they are exceptions to the rate. There have been a few spinners disposed to ask rather higher rates, on account of the decrease of production by the extensive resort to short time at Ashtou, Hyde, Stalybridge, Glossop, and Stockport, but the effect of these attempts has been merely to create rather more steadiness. In 40-inch shirting cloths the market has been rather more depressed, and the sales have been limited, with prices rather in f of the buyer. Other descriptions of cloth have been rather better sup. potted. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Linos, Nov. 29.—There hu been a lair average business done in the woollen cloth market to-day, at steady prices ; and, snob being the case, there is generally mere confidence, and a better disposition shown by the merchants, who are entering more spiritedly Into operations for the enacting season.

OLD COURT.-YESTEZDAY. ILFOIt Tilt 1110011111.11. George Phi/pats, 17, a . mpectable-looking lad, pleaded guilty to a charge of feiomously inciting his brother, Wm. Henry Philpotts, to rob his master of some articles of saddlery. There was also a count in the indictment which charged the prisoner with feloniously rect...ing the property, know ing it to have been st• lee. The learned Recorder male some inquiries respecting the prisoner, and ascertained that his parents were very re spectable, and that he had berme a very good character up to the period of this r resection. It seemed, however, that he had gone to a coffee-ahoy to take his meals near the plate where he was employed, and it was supposed that he hal got into some bad C mosey at this place, and that through their instrumentaNy he was induced to commit the offence. The brother of the prisoner, who was in the ser vice of a seddler seas stated to be a very good bo, and he had no daubt been iodL..e.t to commit the act if ro bbing his master through the inqueccc of the prisoner, who was older than himself. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said it was a very melsncooly thin . 4 to see a lad, who was respectably con nected, awl who appeared to have borne a good character until the period ice question, placed in such a position. It was very shocking to find one brother inducing another younger than him•r;f to ca. - ainit an act of robbery, and with every distimition to deal leniently with the prisoner .on eeroont of his ynu'h and former good character, yet his duty to thy public rendered i! impossible for him pus over such an offence without some severity of punishment. He then sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour in the liw,geray I'mon, where he will be placed in separate otialloement. for tour nt.7lthe. iidward Beawmonf, 32, was charged with embezzlement.

This was a prosecution instituted by the above-mentioned company, under these c:rcutiostances. It appeared that Mr. Wiggins had entered into a enntrsct with the company to provide hones, harness, snd carmen, fur the purposes of their coal trade in the m-qopolis, and he was responsible to them for the amount of money for coals that were delivered by his servants. The prisoner was one of the men em ployed by Mr. Atriums, and it appeared that upon the occasion of his being seat with in too of coils to the hens' of a gentleman at Peckham, mimed Way, he received 10e., and instead et paying the mosey to the coal THE POLICE COORM -4-- GUILDHALL.

I have since dis covered a small portion of the property. I went into Wren's, the refiner, is Barbican, to inquire about two silver tea-pots, and while then I saw the prisoner offering for sale some shirt studs, which at once excited my suspicion. I waited sad saw him also offer a fob chain for sale, which I recognised, and therefore when lie left the shop I followed him. 1 saw him go iato • baker's shop opposite, and I passed on to the comer of the street, where I met • police-sergeant, with whom I returned La a. t!

Mr. Reid in opening the case, said that he was there to support a summate against the defendant, charging him with publishing a scandalous sad unfounded libel against his client, which was calculated to excite a breach of the peace.

In which he said—" I am iseiseelei by Dr. Iloilo, tu apply to pm for payment of the mead 3W. is., beim the amount et his medicine bill for ateraillog is her oseglassmont emi yro vimely thereto that peer weetebssi deemed esenleme, bet nevertheless your We mistrom sal melba sif year child, R. Brewton. Ido nal wish farther to ailed* to the circum stances which gave she to the claim, boesesee I think the less said about them the better; bat I beg to inform you that mains the amomat Aimed, with 81. IL. my charge for this application, be pea to me on or before Beturday nest, I shall take out a Canty Court summon, against you at Dr. Molloy's suit, sad submit the whole matter to public judicial investigation. I beg to my that neither Dr. Molloy nor myself will hold any communication with your friend and adviser, the mechanic, Russell." Mr. Reid would hardly have supposed that a professional man could have written such an indecent letter, and under that impression his client instantly applied to this court. His client knew nothing of the matter alluded to, and the summons was granted. Mr. Thomas Brooks, the complainant, then deposed that he received the letter containing the libel. He denied all knowledge of a Mrs. Enwell. Re never bad a mistress in all bin Isfe. By Mr. Parry—l don't know Mrs. Zingler, of Warren street, nor J. Russell. I don't remember a woman of pe culiar appearance ever having been in my brother's ser vice, who was fifty years of age, with a humped back and a wooden leg. Mr. Parry—Really this is a very shocking affair (to Mr. Wilkins). What can I ask ? It Is most painful. John Gann, sergeant of police, 8 0, was Instructed by his inspector, Mr. Reid and Mr. Brooks, to make inquiries. He called on the defendant, who admitted having written the letters containing the libel. He also awed on Dr. Molloy. Witness ascertained that a deformed woman had been delivered of a child at Mr. Ziegler's, in Warren-street, Islington. Dr. Molloy said they wanted to "chisel" him, ' and lead him away to give a wrong certificate of the regis try ; was told that the child was ,christened "Robert Brooks." Mr. Parry here said tkat his client, who was a respect able solicitor, had acted upon good faith wording to his instructions. It was a disgusting and painful case; and there had evidently been some Moister and degraded party working behind the scene to extort money; but his client and Dr. Molloy were totally ignorant of that; they seve rally regretted what had taken place, and were willing to make a public apology. lie contended that Mr. Wilkin was privileged In a civilised country to act in good faith pursuant to his instructions, and urged that the sununons should be dismi-sed. Dr. Robert Molloy was sworn—He stated that on the ith of September last he was called upon to attend a woman in her confinement. She was 45 years of age. She had a wooden leg, and was deformed In the opine. He was at her bed for 16 hours. She had a difficult time, and he obtained the assistance of Dr. Lever, accoucheur, of Guy's Hospital. She died four days after her confinement. She went by the name of Erswell. He ascertained that the child had been registered as Thomas Brooks Enwell, and from inquiries, he believed that the complainant, Mr. Tho mas Brooks , was the father of the child. _ _ Mr. Parry reiterated that hie client and Dr. Molloy were ready to make the most ample apology to Mr. Brooks, who was a highly respectable mm, cod they regretted that say such mantle should have occurred. Mr. Reid, on the part of his clients. accepted the apology, and the summons was withdrawn. Mr. Come said he granted the summons, to enable Mr. Brooks to clear hinsslf from the imputation. He must ay that Mr. Wilkin was not " privileged" to write such a letter. He ought to have confined himself to that which was strictly necessary. He perhaps wrote the letter with out due consideration. TREVOSE MlNE.—Yesterday at a special meeting, held at 3, Church-court, Mr. Coppinger in the chair, it was unanimously resolved that the company be dissolved; that the Irase of the mine be disposed of ; and that steps be taken I to pay all claims on the same.

The result is before no, and with two exceptions, Is uniformly to the effect that there is no improvement per ceptible In the yield, but that in many cases it is proving even worse than anticipated. The two exceptions report the deficiency at two-fifths. It is not without interest to note the deliveries from the farmers up to the present time, as contrasted with the corresponding period of last year. From October 2 to November 20, 1862, the Gazette returns show sales amounting to 877,902 quarters, while the corresponding weeks of the present year report only 687,429 qrs .; or taking the average of eight weeks, last year gave a weekly man of 109,737 qrs., and the penult only 85,928 qrs., easeatlog to a weekly decrease of 23,809 qn., or 22 per seat Whether this ISMS from the present year's harvest befog later than usual, or from an increased quantity needed mil red for seed, or from a short yield, is of mune magas of 'piston ; bat the character of the returns for the reawfader of the year will assist a correct judgment. The weather has been variable the past week, with some amount of cold rain during the last few days; considerable dulness boa characterised the trade generally, with which probably the approaching close of the year has something to do; holders, however, especially of the better cream of wheats, show considerable firmness in resisting concession in price. Spring corn has been generally dull, especially barley, which indeed must again be quoted lower. New German beans are in excess of supply, and Is. to 2s. lower, whale old, from their scarcity, command full rates. Indian corn firm, and for Dari rather more inquiry. To-day's maraet was well attended by farmers, but they only brought a mo• dente supply of wheat, for which there was a slow demand, at about the rates of last Tuesday. Foreign, except choice red, was neglected. An exceedingly dull sale and languid demand for all kinds of spring cora. Linseed cakes unal tered in value, and the same remark applies to rapeseed and rape cakes. Imports from Nov. 19 to Nov 25:—Wheat, 3,238 qrs.; barley, 195; beans, 3,219; peas, 819 ; Indian corn, 900; tares, 5; linseed, 5,033; cakes, 30. tons; bones, 202. Liana, Nov. 29.—Our supplies are only moderate, but the trade rules slow, and we quote wheat Is. to 2s. lower than last week, or Is. from the rates of Friday. Bar:ey gives way in price, and not much business done, at Is. ecline. Beaus move slowly, and give way Is. to 2s. per quarter. Oats and other articles without alteration. Arri vals this week:—Wheat, 3,074 qrs. • oats, 456; barley, 1,601; beans, 817 ; malt, 609 ; rapeseed, 668; linseed, 183. Llvaaroon, Nov. 29. There was a pretty good attendance of washy millers at oar Corn Exchange this morning, who bought to a tolerably fair extent of American wheat, indicating a requirement for current :consumption. The finer qualities of wheat and of Sour were not any lower, but fee second-rate sorts of both articles we were slightly esided dm ...a Friday, making the reduction since last Tuesday Id. to 2d. per bushel on wheat, and 6d. to Is. per banal sod sack on flour. Indian corn in slack demand, and the price ahnoat nominal. Fine oats and oatmeal • shade lower ; inferior sorts nearly unsaleable, at wide pries& bum, and Runcorn were uachaoged in value. Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from the 22nd to the 28th Nov., inclusive :—Wheat, 29,744 qrs. ; barley, 1,170 ; malt, 669; oats, 3,553; beans, 3,406; peas, 450; Indian corn, 4,413; Indian corn meal, 2,058; oatmeal, 10,278 sacks; Flour, 800 sacks; 41,768 barrels. Experts to Ire land :—Wheat, 2,314 qrs. • beans, 13; Indian corn, 1,154; floor, 665 seeks ; 2,000 ba rrels. Lynx, Nov. 29.—Oar supplies of wheat continue small, aad the condition Is unfavourably affected by the wet weather ; the sale is dull, and all except best dry quality Is. to 2s. per qr. lower. Barley in good suppl best malting Is., and all other sorts 2s. per qr. lower. Wheat, old, red, 66Ibs. to 80I0t., 625. to 71s. ; best new, 60Ibs. to 631b5., 72a. to 765. ; ditto, 671 be. to 691b5., 655. to 70s.

Beans ' old, 8511 x. to Nibs., 80e. to 82s. ; new, 63 1 bs. to 661b5., 60s. to Hs. per quarter to the grower. Oats, new, Is. 31 per atone. NIWCABTLE, Nov. 29.—At our market this morning we had a free delivery of wheat from the growers, the condition whereof was for the most part indifferent, whilst many samples were thoroughly unsound, and only suitable for biscuit dour. Having, however, a fair quantity offering from the coast and from abroad, millers were very shy buy ers, and to effect sales a reduction of fully Is. per qr. had to be submitted to, but factors were not pressing sellers at the decline, from an impression that ere long the nut. will right itself. For the beat new Norfolk red weighing 62 lbe., but made 631 be., 775. was an extreme quotation, whilst for good runs of new llekermarcks, with a chance smut here and there, 745. per qr., 6311 n., wasproeured ; whereas, for Ameri can white, 76.. was refund in quantity'. In Sour so few transactions transpired, that prices can be called little better than nominal. Rye wee inquired for for export but the high pretensions of sellers had the effect of checking trans actions. Malting barley must be again written Is. lower, and moat difficult of disposal, only the most necessitous being buyers at our present currency. Grinding sorts as before, and the same remarks will apply to other articles. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE—Tim:May, Noy. 29. WINDSOR, Nov. 25.

Ice the circular of Mee,ra. Pothonler, of Akzan dria,datoe the 19th inst., we read : The unsatisfactory question of the prohibition, which has thrown such a shade over our affairs for the last few weeks, and involved everything in its uncertainty, has at length mimed a more definite aspect. An actual stoppage hd already taken plain on the 9th, when the Custom house refused to allow any further grain to be shipped, as, according to their statements, the specified quantity had been exported. A complete stagnation was the conse quence, but the parties interested in businns were urgent in their remonstrassen, so that these, backed by those of the consular body, induced the authorities to amend their edicts, and on the 15th notification was made that the fur ther pump of corn beyond Cairo would be stopped, but that the quantity in the merchants' stores at Alexandria would be allowed to go out. This Is rather uncertain, bu may, it is estimated, amount to about 20D,000 ardub of all stocks. The prohibition by the non-arrival oe grain is therefore actually in force, and the limited quail say permitted to go out of the country will relieve the wants of shipping in port, but Goa hardly be expeated to cause the rates of freight to be sustained. Cotton, flax, and other articles are arriving in small quantities, and are eagerly brought up. The supply of these will require a certain amount of tonnage; but in the absence of the staple commodity of the country, the demand for vessels will no doubt be considerably lees. It is hardly to be supposed that the prohibition will extend over a considerable period, as the government will no doubt be perfectly willing, when the whole crop shall have come into their hands, to throw open the trade, and to sell at the high prices which may perhaps then be current. "Purchases of Seidl wheat have taken place as high as P. 100 E. ; beans, at P. 80 E. Cotton and flax are much as last advised. Ir. freights there is still activity, and the tendency is downward. In veusls to arrive nothing has transpired. For orders, 13s. 6d. to 14,. is an extreme Tete, and fur a direct port, 1 Is. 61. Cotton, ss. Bd. and 5 per cent., and 11.16 in furl.

ALLEGED TIIE AIARTLEBONE PAROCHIAL AUTHORITIM.--Yeateriay Mr. Wakiey held an inquest on the body of Thomas Welsh, aged eight months, the son of Garrett Weish. As the case involved some serious charges against the authorities, there was so huge a number of spectators present, that the inquiry was adjourned from the board room to the large room of the Buffalo's Head, opposite. Mr. Poland and Mr. Russell, who were on the rota of the board for the week, attended to watch the inquiry. The parents of the child made a state ment to the effect that the authorities would not admit them into the workhouse, and that haring no home to go to, they were wandering about the streets on Tuesday morn ing, between tour and flee o'clock, when the child died of convulsions arising from expoeute and want of proper nourishment. The inquiry was adjourned. SAILED.
