THE CORN TRADE. Mom the Iferk-lane &prem.) BRITISH. The calm by which the wheat trade has been chit rilClefll4,l during the last fortnight has, in our opinion, been quite in ece..r , tance with a euuud and hi 'Ay st ite of busieess. The effect of su material • ries as that w hash took plae: it price* the first two or three weeks in December would Naturally be a degree of caution on the part of pru dent operators. This does not in general occur is time- of pest speculat oit but, when an advance is founded on mead Iselin it is usually gradual, and with emotional pauses in the efpward n cerement : merchants en t millers, after having eei emit sufficient to provide for their wants fir a (i.e.. areas or months in adeance, wait to watch the coon-e of events. By so doing, they may lose the chance of =skiing large profits ; but they likewise avoid the risk of great levies. A large proportion of what was bought previ ous to, and during the advance, hue now gone into coesump lien. !Peeks in the hands of millers, dealers, and bakers have resin be. n reehmed into a narrow compass, and a ma teriel dtminution his meanwhile taken place in the quantity of a heat in granary at the principal ports; we are there fore inclined to thin k that we ore on the eve of • further advance. 1 hat buys re would prefer to wait for the e xpected supplies from the Buy is aid Black Seas may be readily imagined ; bat we que-tion whether they ere in a position to held oft much longer, and it may be doubled whether they would gain any material advautege by further delay, importer are perfectly cognisant of the fact that they must have old a h at. The weather has not improved since our last ; an immense quantity of rain has fallen, and in many districts where the fleoils had begun to subside, the country lies ag sin been laid under water. To make any were.' with out-door work has therefore been impossible, and we have reason to believe that not more than half— certainly not three-fourths—of the land intended to he sown with wheat in autumn has yet been seeded. The prospects for the future are therefore sufficiently gloomy. Such a state of thisigs would in former years have led to large specu lative operations ; bat as yet comparatively little excitement bas been caused thereby, the rise thus far having, in our opinien been founded on the inadequacy of th e su pp l y to meet th e . demand, rather than on possible future contingen cies. The dull accounts from Mark-lane of Monday last produced considerable t ffect on moat of the principal pro vincial markets, and though the deliveries from the growers have, in general, been on • moderate scale, and the sup plies from abroad email, still prices have given way more or less at many of the leading consuming towns, as well as at the markets in the agricultural districts. Within the last day or two business has, however, assumed e first!: tom sail at most of the markets held on ;minds, and Friday sellers related to m7, n n any further concession. About the middle of last week rather a sc:ious reaction took place in prices of wheat in some of the Scotch markets. The previously established advance Lad had the effect of drawing considerably increased supplies, and the reports from the south being deemed discouragieg, tha sellers greatly outnumbered the buyers. This week the advice' from thence are, however, of quite an opposite character. At Edinburgh confidence was completely restored on Wed nesday, and • good business was done in wheat, at an ad vance of 2s. per qr., notwithstanding the fall at Mark-lane. The accounts from Ireland respecting the weather are of a very desponding nature. Constant ram had, we are in formed, caused out- dour work to be wholly suspended, and the autumn seed-time must have been even more disastrous there than ou this side of tke channel. Pot items had become exceedingly scarce, and had almost ceased to come to mar ket ; the poorer classes had therefore been compelled to consume Indian corn and oatmeal, and this accounts for the insignificance of the shipments of oats from thence. That Ireland will (asthma to require largo importations of wheat, flour, and Indian corn all through the spring and summer, cannot be doubted; and though it is certain that the last oat crop in that country gave a very good yield, it does not appear probable that she will be in a position to export to any extent. ._ Business at Mark-lane has not been distinguished by much activity : in the early part of the week there was an evident unwillingness on the part of buyers to purchase either wheat or spring corn. Since then, however, the tone has undergone a decided improvement. The boisterous state of the weather has kept beck npOliat e and there's reason to believe that many of the vwmiilama the aortheru continental ports must have bees drives bask and dispersed by the gales from the south. west. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into the pert of Londe& daring the week ending this (Saturday) evening have amounted to only 3,149 qn., and the quantity brought forward from the neighbouring counties by land-carriage has likewise been small. The town millers are evidently in want of good qualities of new wheat, hut they are not dis posed to purchase ill-conditioned samples. 't he extreme humidity of the atmosphere has caused the greater part of the home supply to come to hand in very indiffereut order, which circumstance has tended to render the sale somewhat difficult, and prices were not higher either on Wednesday or Friday than in the beginning of the week. The COL, &nuance of heavy gales of wind from the south and west has prevented arrivals from the northern parts at Europe, and only 5,010 fi n. of foreign wheat have been received since our last. Ihe supplies from abroad having for seve ral consecutive weeks fallen short of the quantity required to satisfy the demand, stocks in granary have diminished, and holden have consequently rather raised their preten sions. On Wednesday there was not much doing ; but on Friday there was an improved demand, and several parcels clang: el hands at very full terms. Tau country demand for old foreign wheat has been com paratively small of late, and the prevailing belief is, that • ere long we shall have renewed activity. On Friday there were a few buyers from the westward at market, and an Increased demand from that quarter is reckoned on. The very high prices asked for floating cargoes have naturally in terfered, more or les., with business, and the operations in this branch of the trade have not been so extensive as on some previous occasions. There are few arrived cargoes at present undisputed of. For Galata arid lbraila 4&., and for Eeyptian Said* wheat 40s. per qr. has been asked. There have bees offers from the Lower Baltic ports at 455. to 475. per qr., free on board in spring, without exciting much enemas. The bakers have not yet used up the flour they bought previous to the late rise in prices; they have consequently acted on the reserve, and the sale has been slow. Tee supply of country flour has been quite moderate, and former rates have been steadily maiatsined. There was an im proved inquiry for American on Friday, and several parcels changed hands at rates which it would have been difficult to hive realised in the beginning of the week. Soper's, watts, barley has been inquired for; and only very small pruperuun of the supply having consisted of really tine qualities, the best kinds have commanded very full terms. The commoner descriptions have, on the other hand, moved off very slowly at about previous prices. The transactions in foreign barley have been on a retail scale, and its value has undergone no change requiring notice. The sale fur malt has not been particularly active, but needy buyers have had to pay very full rates. Scarcely any oats have been received since the close of last week, the consumptive demand has not been very ex tensive, and the dealers have refrained from buying, as far as their immediate wants have allowed; still the tendency of prices has been upwards. No quotable rise was estab lished either on Wednesday or Friday, but the turn was on the latter occasion decidedly in favour of the seller. The market is becoming very bare, and should supplies be much longer delayed, the struggle between the importers and deaden will probably be decided in favour of the former. Beans of home-growth have come sparingly to hand, and the receipts from abroad have been unimportant. The de mand has not bees lively, but previous prices have been steadily supported. For pose former terms have also been insisted on. The inquiry for floating cargoes of Indian corn has rather slackened. The last prices paid• have been—for °elate, 345. !hl. to 355. ; and Odessa, 335. 3d. to 355. Gd. Per qr. FOREIGN. Very little change appeusto • have taken place in the tone of the wheat trade at any of the leading continental markets. The pause which had been caused by the Christmas holidays had scarcely yet been got over, and the transactions seem to have been on a much mare restricted male than early in December. Danzig letters of the 2nd instant report the trade quiet, but with much firmness on the part of holders. The wea ther had been and was then unusually mild ; but though the harbour way quite free front ice, the scarcity of vessels bad press awl any shipments of importance being made. The export% of wheat irom Danzig in 1842 had consisted of about 270,000 qr.., leaving a stock of about 150,000 qrs. In granary. - Keturberg letters of the 4th inst. inform us that the very bad state of the roads had prevented supplies of corn being brought forward by the growers, and that prices had con sequently been steadily supported, in spite of tie dull Eng lish &mutts. Stocks or most articles were less than at the same period of the preceding year. Of wheat, the quantity in warehouse consisted on the 31-t Dec., 18.52, of 5,880 lasts, against 6,600 lasts on the 31st Dec., 18.11. A I , parcel or two of red wheat had changel hands ut quite as high terms as thou current previous to the hceadays. At Stettin, on the 4th Jan., quotations of wheat wed precisely the came as on that day re'nnight, and but few transactions had, it appears, taken place in the interval. For good qualities of red wheat 46s to 475. and for white 49e. to s oa. per qr. f. o. b. in spring, had been asked—rates considerably above the limits of the few orders received, and few bargains had consequently beea closed. Of spring corn the receipts had haedly, sufficed to provide for the con sumptive demand, and previous prices had been well main tained. Rostock litters of Monday state that the demand for wheat had slackened, and that holders had become more tractable ; still prices do nut appear to have suffered any quotable decline. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, there was more inclination to realise and less to purchase wheat than the week before, and the turn was coneequently is favour of the buyer. Marks wheat, weighing 61 1 bs. per bushel, might have been bought for immediate delivery at 471. 6d. per qr. f.0.b., but fee shipment in .pring about le. per qr. more was asked. Very huts had been done in wheat f.o.b. in spring ; at our ports the prices demanded had been 48e. to 49.. per qr. Barley and eau bad been in lively request ; for 531bs Danish bar ley 3d. Lad been paid, and fair 38ib. to 391 b. oats had realised equal to 17s. 8.1. per qr. f.o.b. in spring. In the Dutch markets the operations do not seem to have been important, ant the turn was rather in favour of the purchaser on Mentay, both at Rotterdam acd Am sterdam. _ . . A letter from Groningen, of Tuesday, states that oats had come to hand rather sparingly, and that hardly any beasts had been brought forward. Fine 421bs. Poland oats were jawed 174. 6'. ; 4011 w. ditto, 164. 9d.; black feed, weightng 3611,. t 37114 i., 16a. 3d. , ditto, 3.51b5, 14.. 6d. Beau was quoted 30a. to Xs. 6d. per qr. at Ombra ; ~~ THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1853. and et Rotterdam as much es 355. 6d. to 36a. per qr. f.o.b. had been asked 6.r pigeon beans. The advice• from France are generally of a subdued tone, l but prices of %haat and dour had, it enters, been will maintained. At most of the Mediterranean markets stocks are small aOilpTieee high. At Ancona, on the 3. l th ult., good wheat was quoted at 38s. lid. per, qiarter, and at Venice an I Leghorn Indian corn was worth from up to 28s. Cod. pe• qr. f. o. b. From the most distant ports we learn that rather large pur it Asc. , of wheat Lad been route, principally for shipment to Oust Britain. At Odessa 210,000 qn. had changed hands in the course of ten or twelve days. and from Alexandria the advice' also report considerable sales. The most neent accounts from American state that is consequence of the very high rates of freight to Great Britain, the shipments of tiaur and wheat hart not been so extensive as they otherwise might have been. From New York we learn that supplies fr..m the interior had rather increased; and the export demand having become rather languid, prim had slightly receded. DRAMA. DHUItY-LANE. A melodrama, in five acts, called "Gold," from the pen of Mr. G. C. Heade, was produced at this theatre last evening with decided success. Its purpose, as may be sup posed nom its title, is to give a dramatic sketch of life at the Australian gold-diggings, as described in the thousand and-ons accounts of it which we are in the daily habit of reading in every newspaper. To accomplish this object a story has been constructed, of very simple mate rials, but possessing considerable interest. George Sans ford is a young English farmer, struggling wito adverse cireumstances, unable to make head against the difficulties which surround him, and despairing of being able to °bads the hand of his cousin, 544•414 Merlon ' whose father (his uncle) is a hard and worldly man. To add to his misfor tunes, he has an inveterate enemy in Mr. Meadows, a rich corn-factor, who is a lover of :war's, and has likewise a rival in his own younger brother. Poor George sandiond, after an accumulation of disasters, embraces an opportu nity of going out to Australia, and departs, his uncle ' having promised to give him his daughter's hand ea his return worth a thousand pounds. The Were part with many tears and vows of coa -1 @Macy,. and William Sandford, a true-tgarts..d from that time, svvessini; ;, + s own passion, resolves to regard his brother's ' bctrothed as his sister , and to watch over her safety. Grams having departed, Meadows pro ceeds 10 prosecute his designs upon Susan , and to get {Yo seeds 10 Sialdford out of the way, finds means, with the help of a villanous attorney, to have him thrown into prison for debt. The scene now changes to Australia ; the third act opening with a view of the diggings awl gold-seekers' en- ounpment on the banks of the M'Quarrie river. This epee bele was exceedingly well managed: a wild and savage spot, among precipitous rocks and ravines, with groups of people sleeping round their Seem, till daybreak roused theta to their various labours, ) had a very picturesque and animated effect. Among these gold seekers is George Sandford and his comrade Bobbies* --a reckless, dare-devil sort of a fellow, who has bees a thief in England, but turns out quite a hero in his Austrur idea life. To g i ve an idea of this character (which is tha moat oillettive in the piece), we may say that had it bees peribrated at the Adelphi it would certainly have 0000 loigned to Mr. Paul Bedf ord ; but it was acted with spirit sad humour by Mr. Henry Wallach. George mad his eampanion go through a variety of adventures, and are se veral times in danger of their lives from the attacks 41 radians and bush-rangers; but at length they find an SCOSsous lump of gold, with which they joyfully resolve to Nam home. The scene changes again to ingOilid; sad we find that Mr. Meadows is on the point of marriage with SWOPS. The villain has intercepted George's letter., sad fabricated letters from Australia which made it appear that George was about to many another; and she, heart. broken by her lover's supposed faithlessness, has yielded le the importunities of her suitor and her father. She, however, does not conceal her repugnance; but, even "boa th ey are about to proceed to church, implores Alec. ihnee to free her front an engagement which would tasks them both miserable. At this moment George suddenly appears ; and Susan, forgetting everything, flies with transport to his arms. He, of course, soon convinces her of his fidelity ; and her father, hearing of his wealth, Willingly receives him u his son-in-law. But a new aster ensues : Robiiwon, opening his pocket.book to show the bank bills into which the gold has been converted, ands that he has been robbed of them all, and that his I friend and he are beggars. The lovers are in agonies, but their sorrows are soon dispelled ; for it is discovered that 1 the robbery was committed by Meadows and his accomplice the villanons attorney. The property is reeovered—thi orissinals are conveyed to gaol, and the lovers are made =;2n addition to the principal characters that have been ed, thus is Isaac Levi, a wealthy old Jew, a per sonage of romantic generosity and benevolence, but in valseately vindictive, who is the principal agent in bringing Mitfibees to justice, chiefly in order is avenge an injury roadved from him. Among the smaller characters, there is awry M'Donerty, an emigrant Irishwoman, who produced sped ilea of amusement by her brogue and Hibernian ~ par. Ito weal design and construction of the piece are poi. std it contains a number of effective and inter ns*" Nines. But its simple materials are wire draw to an inordinate length by a superfluity d dialogue. All the characters not only milk los much, but they talk too finely, indulging in heavy de stination and that sentimental strain which has become in NM sort the conventional language of the stage. Were this retiundanee retrenched, and the dialogue thus rendered Wee like the conversation of actual life, tae piece, without the leas of a single material incident, might be comised in three acts—the first aad third in England C dr the second in Australia—a compression which would enhance the force and spirit of the representation. The principal parts were well acted. Mr. Davenport, as George Sandford, displayed manliness and feeling, and (as has been said) Mr. Henry Wallach was very successful as Itobinson. The old Jew is a character entirely artificial, but Mr. .Edward Stirling made it productive of some strong effects; and Crawley, the cussing servile attorney, was capitally done by Mr. Charles Selby. Miss Fanny Vining was a pretty and engaging heroine. The house was crowded. The curtain fell amid loud ap plause from every part, and it was announced that the piece would be performed every night till further notice. Miss Rebecca Isaacs, as " directress," for a brief period, which we would gladly see extended, at this theatre, is proceeding with a vigorous va ri ety, very credit able to her management, and which a large attendance last night suggested is being very successful. She has secured the services, which to an extensive metropolitan clue are very attractive, of Mr. James Anderson, who let night fretted with great effeet through the pa rt of Claude Mel /10M; and after snob thunders of applause as a limited but enthusiastic pit and gallery could provide, came a " new and original" operetta by Mr. Robert Stopel, "being= episode in Napoleon's campaign in Austria, dramatised by Dion Bourcicault." We concede Mr. Stopel's originality; bat the dramatiser of the episode should have acknowledged that Ktirner supplied the idea, and first made use of the anecdote. It is that of a French soldier, who, being left to guard a bridge, kept to his post during three months, not withstanding that the regiment to which he belonged had left the country, and, despite all temptations to ease, obstinately waited to be relieved. The French at last re-entering the territory he is discovered, and at first charged as a deserter, finally is accepted as a hero, having an opportunity of proving at once his wonderful fidelity and a courage which results in an import ant service, being no less than stopping the buffer of inter cepted despatches, which,when opened, are seen to be an an nouncement of the proclamation of peace, news which pre vent a threatened battle, and stop the military execution of the bearer, who is a German count, landlord of the village in which the Sentinel has be come domesticated, and whose belle he is on the point of marrying. Some pleasant music, sung by Miss Isaacs, Mr. H. Corn, and Mr. R. Manley, carries the pretty plot very agreeably through an hour, and justifies the applause which was given at the conclusion, i though the amount of the plaudits would hardly warrant Mr. Stopel in the notion that he had made a " hit." MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.—OR Thursday afternoon last a gentleman arrived at the Peahen Inn, St. Albans, from the Watford station of the London and North Western Railway. He ordered a private room, stating that ho had a considerable amount of writing to do. After his dinner, which he had about five o'clock, he asked for a postage stamp, end walked oat, it is supposed to post a letter. Ile retired to rest about ten o'clock, and the following morn , ing, at nine o'clock, the chambermaid went into his room with a letter, directed, "Mr. Bowden, Peahen Inn, to be delivered immediately," and asked if it was his. He replied, " Oh, no, no, uo,' and added that he should lie • little longer. Ins room door was open then, but about twelve o'clock, finding that he did not come down, she west to his door again, and found it fastened. She knocked several times, but receiving no anewe•, an en ' trance was effected into the room, when the unfortunate gentleman was discovered to have committed suicide by cutting his throat. An inquest was held on Friday even ing, before Mr. R. G. Low, coroner, but adjourned, with a view of procuring evidence as to the deceased's identity, as .he was quite unknown to any one in St. Albans. The deceased was a man of gentlemanly appearance and man ners, was well dressed in mourning, and had a band of crape round his hat. He was upwards of ail feet high, and was a remarkably handsome man. with dark hair, and whiskers meeting under his chin. Beneath the lining of his hat was written, " Bailey, August 12, '52," with tho letters " _H. W. 1)." written above. The inquest was -:---- adjourned.

COMMON= ClO% mar. Ix KE 11•Nsram. This was the last examination meeting in the ease of W. T. Herism, wine and spirit merchant, of Brighton. Ti.e accounts, prepared by Messrs. Harding and Pullein, of Guildhall-chambers extended over 16 months prior to the failure is Novembe r last, commencing, at the termer period, with a deficiency of s*-'91., and showing an amount due to wessand ("editors of 4,2561., with 8941. to creditors wheel ere partially secured, and 6641. of liabilities. The Mete were put down at 4891. in good debts, and property estimated at 4461. The property held by creditors as secu rity was 5581. Profits, 5211.; trade expenses, 1,5891.; law charges, 1701.; interest, 1821.; domestic, 6331.; losses, 8911. Mr. Nicholson, the official assignee, reported that various items were otatticit from the cash-book, amongst others an , advance from Mr. Fingey, of Regent-street, on the deposit of some wines and spirits. There had been a loss of 1001. I on sales of wine by auction, and a further loss of 5801. had been incurred in the realisation of the property by the assignees. The books, especially the cash-book, had been imperfectly kept ; but since the failure, the bankrupt had rendered every assistance to the assignees. Mr. Bagley, and Messrs. Dimmock and Barbey, opposed for the assignees, and for two other creditors-Messrs. Omelet and Co. and Messrs. Seeger and Evans. Mr. A. Linklater supported. The bankrupt, in examination, stated, that on the 7th October he had come before the court under the arrange ment clauses. By a statement of his affairs in May ere -1 ceding, he showed himself to have a capital of 7701. That was a false statement ; as was an item of 9001. as profits. His debts were put down in that statement at 3,0001. to Messrs. Hooper, his principal creditors, and 4301. to other creditors. Beside that, he owed other debts, including 2001. to Mr. Fingey, and 901. to the English and Cambrian Life Office. He had collected 241. of his debts, after petitioning the court. ninny and other creditors held geode of his as *moray. Hie first transaction with Fingey Imes V November, 1851 ; he discounted witness a bill of 1 M., charging 255. for the discount. He was in the habit of charging 20 per cent., bat it differed according to the time the bill had to run. Besides this large discount wit ness also gave him some wino warrants at .ecnrity. These twill/actions went nn tilt '!"! It of May last, when he de tra;nted 2001. worth of goods with Fingey. The subse quent transactions were only renewals. Altogether there WON four or five transactions ; on ono three bills were &wanted. Received in all about 6001. from him, and ispasited more than that value of goods. Fingey had a warehouse for the deposit of goods taken by him as secu rity. On the acceptance for 2001. he charged the usual dis count of 20 per cent., and took a deposit of four pipes of wine, which witness had bought from Messrs. 'Hooper two or three days before. He bought the wine in the ordinary course of trade; three of the pipes went to his premises at Brighton, the others to 11r. Fingcy, for the purpose of raising money, and one was afterwards returned to Fingey. Witness had 'previously asked how much he could borrow on four pipes lof wine. When he bought the wine he meant to send it to Piney, if ho would lend the 2001. With 1201. of the money received from Mr. Fingey he took up one of Messrs. Hooper's bills for goods received four or six months before. The entries in his ledger, with reference to the transactions 1 with Fingey, had been made siuce the bankruptcy, as had those in his cash book. Messrs. Hooper discovered, almost hawediately after, that the wines had been transferred to lime!, and called upon bankrupt for a statement of his edishi. After that he tried to get a partner, and proposed to refer any one to Messrs. Ilooper. Mr. Hooper told him that it would be necessary to have his books looked into, and he sent Messrs. Harding and Butler for that purpose. A balance-sheet and statement of affairs were made out, which showed a deficiency of 3001. or 4001. That was a very different statement from the one in his balance-sheet. He was in negotiation for a partnership with Mr. Alexander, and referred to the first balance-sheet, without suggesting that it was incorrect at all. Afterwards he went before the Lord Mayor of London, and declared to a state ment of affairs as true, which showed his unsecured credi tors to be 4,0421. ; in his balance-sheet they now appeared as 4,2561. Ilia good debtors were given before the Lord Mayor at 5731. ; in his present balance-sheet at 4891. The difference in the former was owing to accounts that bad since come in, and some debts which he had considered good had turned out very doubtful. Mr. Edmund Harding, accountant, proved that the ori ginal statement of affairs was made out correctly from the bankrupt's books. Mr. Bagley asked for an adjournment sine die. Mr. Linklater assented to a short adjournment, for the purpose of removing some of the discrepancies that appeared on the balance-sheet. His Honour granted an adjournment generally till Thursday. Ix as ROIL-TEE SKITTLE CAUL The bankrupt was an upholsterer at Islington. This wee the adjourned last examination meeting. The case stood for his Honour's judgment on the question of the bankrupt's accounts, especially in reference to an item of 1201 . put down as losses by skittle playing. The Commissioner said there appeared to have best alto liberate intention on the part of this man to 001.1121 g errs of I his property, and to account for it by fictitious lames. Then mild be no question that such was his intention. He bad been assisted by a very able counsel, but who eventually gave up the else, in consequence of the man telling stories which were quite at variance with those he first told ; and, from an examination of the proceedings, it was really diffi cult to tell which of the stories was to be believed-they varied so much that they were evidently got up at the moment, and for the purposes of the moment, without the least consi deration hew they would bear on whathe had said at first. Ins himself admitted, on one occasion, that he had ex ] aggerated in his phrase, and on another that he had spoken 1 falsely. He had done this for the very purpose pointed out and specified by the act of parliament as criminal-namely, to give to a creditor, Mr. Hwiugs, a Glee and exaggerated statement of his affairs. He admitted having written a false letter-one that was evidently untrue ; and he did not disguise the purpose for which ho had written it, to deceive', his creditors. As to his losing 1201. by skittle-playing, it was true he had produced people who saw him play ; but 1 what corroboration was that of his having lost 1201. ? Nose whatever. Could the court believe such an incredible statement from a man who admitted that he told falselloode when it suited him, and told them for the purpose ter de ceiving his creditors? He was not a man without in tellect, but a man of understanding, and a quick man, and a nun very ready at facts - only, like all people who were ready at untrue facts, he did not always see how they quite bore against him. It was not to be supposed that he was such a child in the knowlege and ways of the world as to goon playing and los ing for aoonsiderable period,until he had lost all this money. This story was so incredible that the court would only re gard it as ono of the many, many shifts, to which bank rupts had recourse when pressed for a true account of their property, and by which they sought to impose upon the court. The account was untrue, and the case must be ad journed sine die. The next question was, whether the court might, at this stage of the proceedings, to state on the re. seed that the bankrupt came within one of the clauses of the mid section (the 255th). Undoubtedly he did ; but the emit had always been unwilling to take that step, which prevented protection being ever afterwards granted to a bankrupt. The certificate meeting seemed the proper time for putting a statement of that kind on the record ; then, if the bankrupt were dissatisfied, he could appeal to a higher tribunal. Under these circumstances the examina tion would be eimply'adjourned without day, and protection refused, on tke ground that the story told by the bankrupt was wilfully untrue. The Bankrupt-I still maintain that what I have attested the truth. The -Which? The first, the last, or the middle one ? The Bankrupt—The whole. The Commissioner—l don't know which story you mean is true ; they are all three different. 1 had rather not argue the matter with you. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YEsTeaDAT. The sittings of the court for the January Quarter Session were resumed yesterday morning at the Guildhall, West minster, by adjournment teem Clerkenwell, before Mr. Serjeant Adams, Assistant Judge, and a bench of magis trates. The calendar gives the names of 72 prisoners for trial, 65 for felon, and 7 for misdemeanor. The Assistant Judge, in his charge to the grand jury, ad verted to a provision in an act of parliament with reference to the summoning of jurors to these sessions. Re said—The change, by which the sessions were held at Westminster as well as at Clerkenwell, had been of great convenience to the county generally, and as the business of the county was divided between the two sessions, it was intended, when the change took place, that the jurors on one side of the county should be summoned to the ono sessions, ie., Clerkenwell, and those on the other side to the other ses sions at Westminster, and had this been carried out, a very fair proportion of jurors would have bees summoned from each district, which would have been but fair and reason able. But instead of this a clause which the high bailiff got inverted in an act of parliament gave him, the high bailiff, the sole power of summoning jurors to the West minster Sessions, and as his jurisdiction was limited to Westminster, the consequence was that West minster jurors only could be summoned, and as they had to do the general business of the county, it was a hardship upon them. The parish of St. Margaret interfered in the matter, and it was singular that as yet no jurors had been summoned from that parish, although there had been from every other. It was probable that during the present session of parliament a bill would bo iotroduced for the purpose of doing away with grand juries in the me tropolitan district, and a clause might be introduced into it (riving the sheriffs of the county the power to summon jurors to that court, and taking it away from the high bailiff, which would have the effect of relieving the inhabi tants of Westminster from being required to do more than their fair share of work, and then instead of the duty falling upon but between 3,000 and 4,000 persons, it would be ex tended to about 15,000. After some observations on the duty the grand jury had to discharge, the Assistant Judge 11 dismissed them to their room. --- Daniel Fitzgerald and Henry Nichols, aged respectively 17 and 29, were indicted for stealing on the highway a purse and 101. 2s. 61, from the person of Emma Jago. Mr. M. Prendergast prosecuted, Mr. O'Brien appeared for the planers. The prowcutrix was a widow lady residing at Ealing, and on the 23rd of December she was hustled by a gang of five or six, amongst them the prisoners, who were taken. She was robbed at her purse by some one. They gave false addientee, and in *newer to questions put to them in the - absence of each other, trim tbsy were in custody, by an Inspector of the E they gave contradictory ao &runts as to how they came in Tottenham-court-road on the occasion in question. There was no evidence to connect than directly with the robbery. Mr. O'Brien, for the defence, contended that independent of the evidence of the police inspector, there was nothing to show beyond doubt that the prisoners were participators in the robbery; and he hoped the jury would be cautious in acting on that evidence, extorted, as it had been, impro perly and in violation of his duty by a police officer, in a manner which magistrates and judges were not permitted to adopt. The Assistant-Judge, in summing up, called the attention of the jury to the evidence of the inspector, and remarked that it would be much better if officers did not put such questions to persons in custody and under charge. It was a very dangerous practice, but in this particular instance he did not wish to convey any censure on the inspector. The jury Acquitted the prisoners. The Ass istant-Judge said he was not dissatisfied with the verdict, but he could tell them that the prisoners were well ' known, and if they had been found guilty he should have transported them. ' The jury said that they had an opinion on the case, but they nad *teen the prisoners tile beneiii .t The Auntant•Judge said they were quite right. Mr. Prendergast said in explanation with regard to the , inspector, that he had acted quite right in what he had ' done, because as no property was found on the prisoners, • it would have been right for him to have discharged them, • if their answers had been satisfactory. The Auistant-Judge thought no blame could be attached to the inspector. Mary Ann :quad*, 33, was indicted for stealing a two foot rule, and 2.51. in bank notes, half a sovereign, &c., the property and monies of John Knight, from his person. This was a street robbery by a prostitute, aided by amen. The prisoner was apprehended and also her accomplice, a man named Francis Ames, aged 61, who after his com mittal committed suicide in the House of Detention. The jury . found the prisoner Guilty, and she was re manded fur judgment. It was stated by the brother of the deceased that she was an abandoned character, and had been repeatedly convicted. SURREY SESSIONS.—YEsnaDAy. B IM & J. E. JORSION, Em., •ao s Brim OF MAOIST& ANOTHER CANNON. John Smith, aliu Roach, 3.5, a tall powerful fellow, was indicted for committing a serious assault on James Cold men, a constable of the Id division of the Metropolitan Police. The prosecutor stated that he was on duty in New ington on the night of the 27th ult., when he saw the prisoner making a disturbance in Kent-street. A mob of persons was around him, and he was attacking every one tear bim. Witness went to him, and told him to go away; but he suddenly turned round and knocked witness down with great force. While on the ground, he kicked him, took his truncheon from ►im, and broko it about his dead and body. He would certainly have murdered him hai not several other constables heard his cries and come to his assistance. Witness had been un able to perform his duty since the occurrence. Sergeant Biker, 466 A, and two other constables, gave evidence against the prisoner, showing that they were com pelled to tie the prisoner's arms and strap his legs to carry him to the station. It was also proved that he had been several times convicted for committing similar assaults on the police. In defence, the prisoner said he was drunk at the time, and did not know what occurred. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Chairman said it was fortunate for the prisoner that he had not committed a more serious offence, as he might have suffered the same fate as the sweep Cannon, who had the sentence of death recorded against him for similar of fences. He should inflict the heaviest punishment he could, by sentencing him to two years' hard labour at Wandsoorth. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION HOUSE. It. F. Pries, of No. 16, Grove-road, Brixton, merchant, was brought before Sir ltobert W. Carden, in the custody of Huggett, the detective officer, charged with having knnwiugly uttered forged bills of lading, by means of which he obtained 113,0001. The sums obtained by the prisoner amount, it is believed, altogether to the enormous sum of 33,0001. Mr. Ballantine instructed in one case by Messrs. Crowther and Maynard, and in another by Mr. Vansandsu, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Wontner for the define*. Mr. Ballantine said that he should on the present occa sion merely call witnesses, whose testimony would be sufficient to justify a remand, in order that the police might pursue the investigation with u little delay as pos sible in a ease of such serious magnitude. The instance, in proof of which he sbonld call evidence, referred to the sum of 3,0001., a part of the money advanced by one of the houses represented by tim to the prisoner upon the security of bills of lading and other securities. That sum became due on Saturday last, and the prisoner then gave a cheque for the amount, which cheque was presented on the same day and dishonoured at his bankers. Soon after the presentation of the cheque, a clerk of the house which had been thus treated went to the prisoner's house and saw his wife, who chewed him a letter which she had received from her husband. That letter contained quite enough to show that the writer had committed the offences with which he was charged. It expressed his sorrow for having deceived his wife, called upon her to look with care to their children, and intimated that it was 'his intention to put an end to himself. That letter had, the learned counsel believed, been soon afterwards burned; but he would be able to satisfy the lord mayor that such a letter written by the prisoner to his wife had existed. At present he would produce evidence that the signatures to one of the securities upon which the prisoner had obtained the money were forgeries. Mr. Ignace Shuloff !aid—l am a partner in the house of Prosper, Monteaux, and Co., foreign bankers, at No. 17, Gracechurch-street. I know the prisoner well, and have had very extensive money transactions with him. He is a merchant in Crosby Hall-chambers. In consequence of a transaction which took place, I took steps for his appre hension. Mr. Emile Adolph Herman—l am manager of the house of James Redford and Co., of No. 1, New Broad-street, bankers. I know the prisener. I received from him, on the Ist of January, these corn warrants (producing papers alleged to be forged securities). We advanced 18,0001. upon them. I was to be repaid on the 3rd instant. He put off the time of payment, and gave subsequently a cheque ter 3,0001. for Saturday upon his bankers; which cheque, as our reporter understood the witness, was not paid. Mr. Samuel Barnard, confidential clerk to Messrs. Brown and Young, lightermen and granary keepers, at Bermondsey Wharf.—l do not believe that there is any other firm of our name in the trade. I have looked at the signatures to the documents exhibited (the corn documents). They are not in the handwriting of my employers, nor, I should say, were they written with their authority, for the evident reason that documents of the kind uniformly pus through my hands. Mr. William F. Ingelow, principal clerk to Messrs. Monteaux, Schuloff, and Co., said, I went to the house of the prisoner in Grove-road, Brixton. I know his hand writing. I saw a lady there, who showed me a letter in his handwriting. I read that letter so as to recollect the subject of the contents, and I distinctly recollect one or two sentences. After he was taken into custody I wont, accom panied by an officer, to the prisoner's house again, and asked to see the letter, but was unable to obtain it. Mr. Ballantine—Did you see the same lady who showed you the letter ? Witness—l did ; and when I went Leto the passage to communicate with the detective officer, I distinctly smelt the burning of paper, and called his attention to it. lam unable to obtain the letter. Mr. Ballantine—Notice shall be given for the . production married;ht letter by the lady to whom the prisoner is no doubt and if we fina , that the letter has been destroyed, we must give the best evidence we can as to its contents. Sir It. W. Carden—Have you any doubt that the letter you read, and which was handed to you by the lady, was in the handwriting of the prisoner ? Witness—l have no doubt of it. The lady said, when I saw her spin, that the letter was burnt. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner.—l cannot recall to my mind any occasion upon which I saw the prisoner write. know the letter to be his from my knowledge of his hand writing. and partly from what the lady told me. I knew ' his handwriting, and was confirmed in my opinion by what the lady said. Joseph Huggett (of the City Detective Police.)-1 took the prisoner into custody at the station of the North- Western Railway at nine o'clock on Saturday evening, just as the train war about to start. He was in one of the car riages, and had a first classick ti for Newcastle. lie had with him a carpet bag and a radway wrapper. In the carpet bag were clothes all new. I asked him to give up whatever property he had, and he handed me a canvas bag containing lull. lls. 9d. I said to him that I was an officer, and must trouble him to go back to the City with me. The prisoner was then remanded. Considerable sensa tion was caused on 'Change in the course of the day by the prevailing report that the prisoner had obtained by means similar to those described in the evidence double the amount of the sums mentioned in the course of the exami nation. In thecae. against Was. Lansude, the shopman of Mr. Benson, of Cornhill, Mr. ohnson, the witness who at the last examination spoke as to the assaying of the watch-chain purchased by Mr. Ward, attended to make what he conscientiously be lieved to be a necessary, although perhaps not an essential, correction ; and also to make an addition to tho testimony he hod given on the occasion. Mr. Parry and Mr. Humphreys attended for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Hobler for the defence. Mr. Lamude's own secutity for his appearance at the Central Criminal Court having at the last examination been accepted by the Lord Mayor, the accused, of course, did not appear. Mr. Robles made no objection to the proposition to hear Mr. Johnson. The witness—When I said I assayed the chain produced in court, I meant that 1. with the assistance of others in our house, sealed it. I did a part of the process. I hesi tated to sign my deposition because it read as if I alone had assayed. What I wish to add is this—l have, since that occasion, assayed the chain myself. I received on Satur day the same chain from Scott the officer, in the presence of Mr. Thomas. I took two of the ornamental links and two of the other links. The variation in the two kinds of limb is aliaht aa tar as regard' the gold la them, within a shilling an ounce. The average result was 3 ox. 18 dwts. and 18 gre. of pure gold to the troy pound. I found put of the alloy did consist of silver, on the average of 2 oz. 11 dwts. and 12 gra. in the troy pound. The other alloy consists of base metal, brass or copper, of inappreciable value, 5 oz. 11 dwts. and 18 gre. in the troy pound. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknow ledge his receipt of 101.. for the poor-box, the annual sub lecription of Wm. P. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward Bragg, a clerk of the Great Western Railway Company, was charged with attempting to pawn a hand some volume of Sir Walter Scott's works, the property of the directors and others of the Great Western Railway Compare y. John Walker, assistant to Mr. Dobree, pawnbroker, Gil bert-street, stated that the prisoner offered the book in pledge. Witness having noticed the initials G. W. R. ' on the cover, and that an erasure had been made on the fly. I•af, was induced to put some questions to him, which not being answered in a satisfactory manner, witness was induced to call in a police constable and to give him into custody. The prisoner told him the property was his own, and he had plenty more volumes of the same sort at home. Arthur Carter said be was clerk in the servic6 of I Great Western Company, and also Librarian to the Lite rary Society of the Great Western Railway Company. The prisoner was a member of the society, and paid a yearly subscription for the privilege of having the works. 13y the rules the directors were proprietors of the library, The prisoner had received the book on Saturday from the library, and he would have had to return it within twenty one days. The name and arms of the company were on the book when delivered to the prisoner. They had since been effaced. A professional person, who attended for the prisoner, con tended that the prisoner was a partner in the concern, and that he had a property in the book. Mr. Carter said the property of the books was vested in the directors. No power was given to a servant to pledge anything. Superintendent Collard said a great number of duplicates of coats was found in the prisoner's possession. One of the duplicates related to a coat stolen from the company's premises. Mr. Ilardwick decided upon remanding the prisoner until Friday, to give time to the police to see if any more of the duplicates related to stolen property. SPORTING. TATTERSALL'S.—Mosn AY.

Barreners of any age or quality were also easily sold, the average prices being fully 3s. per stone. Milking Cows and in-calvers are looking up both in prices and demand.
