This was an action brought to recover two SUM of 5'21. 10s. and 47'. 10s., being the amount of a dcpaa owl call upon 2.4 shares in the Shropebire Union Railway MI easel Company. Sir F. T:i, , ager, in stating the ease to the jury, sail the ground oa welch the plaintiff sought to recover these two sums of money fawn the fairway company was, tbat 13' I such shares es those on which la* had p iid the deposit cal call were ever created, and the scheme, from be ginning to earl, out a contrivauce fur the purpose of relieve heet cert a n teasel proprietors trout a state of pecuniary difil tePy, soil was, in feet, a fraud on tee police. The com peny ui gut dion was project. el in the year 1815. It appeared that the plaiutit had been a shareholder in the original cormany, called "The Worcester, Shrewsbury, 111 R Crewe Union Railway Company," which was after ward.* amahniinateil with the pre sent company. The S'empeliire Uiden Refit - ay and Canal Company was provisionally registered, and its nhject was stated to be the conversien of ean:de into railways forth* purpose if eying a complete system of teilwey accommodation westward of the Grand Junction Railway, and between Chaster and the north, sail Bristol and the south. In 1816 the company applied to parliament for three separate bills for eonstruetiug three distinct lines of railway. While the Wile were in pmgri- , a prospectus was issued inviting the public to tale, shares, ru whieli the projector+ described the 'theme as a legitimate and sound undertaking, not got tap Gtr speculative purposes, but for converting a series of ex trusive and ng existing canals into railways. The =- ter who was a mlieiter, reading at King's Walk, in the Temple, was coptirated by the prosaism held out to the public, and he be came • shareholder to a large amount. The deposit upon the shares was at the rate of 2!. 2a. per share. The plaintiff had previously paid 11. is. Gd. a share on those aliases which he held in the Worcester, Shrewsbury, and , Crewe hallway Company, and when it was amalgamated with the Shropshire Union Railway and Canal Company, be hail ids shares converted, and mud au etdditiriaal Pia. ashen, in order to make up the 21. On the 22nd of May. lel6, • meting of the shareholders in tin railway company was held at Shrewsbury, and the late Earl fowls was the chairman of that meeting. Ills lordship then gave a Souriehing account of the protect, and said the profits would realize 7 per cent. upon the capital invested. He (Sr: F. Thesiger) felt bound to state that he did not believe the late respetted nobleman could have been aware of the circumstances, as there could be no doubt that he had been misled by the misrepresentations of inter( eted parties to whose '.totem' nts lee hail unfortu nately given too much credeece. lie (Sir F. Thesiger) would shrew that one of the canal companies—theEdesmere and Chester Canal Company—was in a hopeless state of bankruptcy only eight days before this meeting had been held. The directore of it had borrowed si sum of money from the l'uhlic Works Loan Commissioners, and had mortgaged the canal to them. The ancars of interest upon Ithis loan amounted to upwards of 10,000/. The commis. ' Metiers threatened to take possession of the canal under the motif .1, , e deed and to sell it, and the company having been placed in this difficulty made an application to the Royal Exchange Assurance Company to advance them a auto of money to enable the en to discharge their mere pressing liabi lities. The commissioners he I offered to reduce the interest upon their loan from 4/. to 31. Ids. per cent., on condition of the arrears being paid up. The Royal Exchange Assn- ranee Company undertook tv advance the canal company upwards of *2.52,9904., the canal company undertaking to gave them, by way of security, bowie to the extent of MlO,Orlet. This was the hupetem state of insolvency in which the mail company was pieced. It was apparent, therefore, that the contrivance was to relieve the canal companies from their serious revonsibilities and to place thern'an a better position with regard to their shares, which had Gecome utterly worthless. 'l' he railway company suc ceeded in obtaining their three acts of parliament, under which they were empowered to raise the mina of 1,0110,0001. 1,500,000 C, and tkM,OOO/.. The bankrupt stock of the anal companies was converted into railway shares without the additional payineat of a single farthing, and these shares were to hear interest until the railway was eonapleted. It was, however, necessary to raise a fund to carry out the undertaking. The 42nal section of the act empowered the company to robe money by the creation of sew shares to the extent of h 4.10,0001. 'they were to be created at • special general na sting. No such meeting* however, was called, hut the sharer were, nevertheless, Ismael to the public and signed by the IIiTCCI9TS and acre tary in the usual way. Mr. Vinceet had taken up a portion of these shares under the belief that they had been created Ia accordance with the act of parliament. Mr. Vincent was now placid iu chi. situation—be had gut certain share ertilicetie, which reirmented a certain amount ef capital; but to supfo-.c that they were 7,CHNI shares was a mere de lusion, for they hail never been created at all. Supping the Mill= had turned out to be profitable, the directors might have appropriated all the proceeds to themselves, and then turned round upon the plaintiff and have said he was not entitled to any money because his Mures but never been created. The canal companies had been extricated from their difficultice by the arrangement which had been made, fee their et:cumbrances hail been paid ulf, and the directors of those companies hail bean , cured against the bonds which they had given to the Royal Exchange Assurance Company. lice railway compuiy heart turned out to be almost abortive. Two of the hues fur which bills had been obtained were abandoned, and twenty miles of the third line had only been executed , although seemly one million hail been expended upon it. The learned counsel in comlusion raid that it woo perfectly clear Mr. Vincent was not a shareholder in the Shropshire Unice , Railway mad Canal Company, and that he was therefore entiOell to recover the awned paid on the shares which had been issued in direct anatravennon of the provisions of the act of parliament. Mr. Viecemt, the plaintiff, was then called and examined at comiderable length, and he proved most of the facts stated by Sir F. The sieve in his opening address. He also stated that in the year 18ii he held :Sea scrip shares in the Shropshire Colon Railway and Causal Cuunnuiy. Mr. llollyouke, a director in the Shropshire Union Rail way and Canal Company, proved that there never had been any special general meeting of the company fur the purpose of the creation it shires. lf, ai said that he cuuel out remember that may special general meeting was held on the creetion of the new 211/. shares. The Lord Chief Baron here stated that he entertained a strong opinion with reference to the case. The only clues lion raised by Sir F. Thesiger was this—" You have coked toy client to pay a call upon a certain numher of shares, and ne ouch shares are in existenee." He did not think that questior could be tried in an action for money had and received. There did not appear to him to he any deception in the else, and it by nil means followed that the shares in question were not real shares because no meeting had been Mr. Watson mid that the company hail been charged with freed. Thai was an imputation which they were pre pared to meet. After some discussion, the examination of Mr. Hollyoske was rieumed, MI, at ice conclusion, 1 he Lint Chief Baran mid that he thought the plaintiff could not carry his ease any further. lie was too late in requiring the repivment of the money, as he hal agreed to take shares in the amalgamated company. If the come piney hail turned out QS prosperous at it hail proved unfor tunate, then the plaintiff, both in law and equity, might have demanded to IT conside red as a shareholder. He should therefore direct a uonsuit, subject to a verdict, to be enteral for the plaintiff, should the court be of opinion that he was entitled to either el his demands. The plaintiff wee then nousuited. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Youx, WEDNESDII% %tors AL Jr•TICIR CIIAUGII Ur Arringrnsu Nu:Kunz. 77.0xusa l'atrick, 20, was charged with having, on the _6th of November last, at Leeds, discharged against Jane Bunter and Mary Anis Mill. a loaded pistil, with intent to murder or du them some grievous bodily harm. The facts of this rasa wire very liriel. It appeared that Sutter, who is years of age, and lives with her parents in Catherine-street, Leeds, hail been the sweetheart of the prisoner for the last twelve months. On the 26th of November last the prisoner went to we her, when some quarrel ensued between them. sad Sunter refused to see hint any more. The prisoner, however, expressed his determination to continue her company, and said he w. ul.l see der on the followin4 night. lie accordingly waited upon h. r, another iju and took place, and even tually he was t ‘pciieti the house of Studer a parents. In a short time, however, he returned, and as alleged against him he fired a pideel at Jane Santry, and snottier female named Mary Ann Mill., who wen standing at the door of the house. Mill, no , injured in the face, but Sunter was not hurt. '1 he prisoner ran off, but was apprehended a few bones afterward.. Prisoner denied having fired a pistol, and in this he was corroborated by J.IIIIC Sunter, who said that she neither saw a pistol nor heard it fired. Jane Mills, however, swore just the reverse. The surge on who attended upon Mills deposed that the injury might have been produced by the throwing of a piece of earthenware with gnat violence. No pistol had been found, and as the wound. sustained by Mills were very slight it was pre sumed that the injury had probably been caused by a piece of broken pot. The jury consulted together for a short time, and then Atpitted the prison r. The other C 2.76 tried were derail et interest. teed to have b..en occasional. As the law now stool, a prisoner was mertly chsrg• d with having caused the de..th, u.d neither he, nor say one had the rli el.o st clue to .'certain by what means the death was represented to be canto Mr. Briarly said there certain y was that inconvenience created by the r. cent clteration GI the t eve. Ile then went lon to state that the poi-enm were charged with CAtt:•iilZ the death of t h e child, by neglecting to give it proper food and nourishment, and also by a want of cleanliness and attention ; and after giving a brief detail of the facts, the following witnesses were evamined; Mrs. Amelia Walsh deposed that the lived with her hus h ind at No. 39, Middle Grove-street, Commercial-rend. On the 22nd November the fe nude prisoner hired a par lour in her house, and brou,,,:kt her children there. The re were two other children besides the deceased. She did not Ile anything of the male prisoner until two days afterwards. On the Monday after they came into her house the female prisoner came home very drunk, and witness went into her room, and saw the deceased child lying on the lied with a dirty nightgown on, and with its head in a basket. The child appeared very languid and weak from neg lect and want, and its body seemed to be nothing but skin and bone. IVitness took the deceased and one of the other children down to her own kitchen, and placed them by the tire, and she gave some food to the child Bridget, which it ate ravenou.!y. The male prisoner came home shortly afterwards, and site showed hint the state the child was in, and said that it would be a 'Amity to send it to the workhouse. lie then went up stairs to his wife, and she heard them quarrelling, and there were screams of murder. Witness went into the prisoners' room. They were in the dark, and the Lusband asked his wife to give hint some money, and she hanklyd him her purse, which contained a sixpence and some half-pe nee. A light was then fetched, and witness left them, and they began qutrrel- Mg again and the femala prisoner went out, taking the baby w ith her, and she LAW no more of her until the following morning. The conduct of the prisoners wan such while they were in the house that she gave them money to leave, and offered to forgive them the weele's rent if they would ge at once. On the Wednesday morning she aearrl the fetnale prisoner s ky that she wished all her chil dren were dead, and she would then not live with her hus band an hour longer. They continued quarrelling all day o n Thursday, nod us Friday she insisted upon their shutting the door, when the husband said to her " You don't know what trouble we are in," and the female prisoner then told her that two of her children were dead. Witness went into the room and saw the deceased child lying upon a bible dead. s.ieeseeeaes...... by the female prisoner—You toll me when you first came to the house that your children had been very ill. You as id th. y had hail the hooping-cough, and had been under the rare of Dr. Tripe. Your husband was drunk when he ram" home on the Monday night. Mr. Henry Bullock deposed that the male prisoner had been in his service as a cooper fur about lire weeks previous to the death of the child. The first four weeks lie earned it. 4s. per week, and the last week he earned 14s. The reason ho had earned so little was that he had left his work and had gone drinking. Ile could easily earn 21s. per week, and more if he pleased to attend to his work, as he was a very good workman. Dr. Tripe deposed that the female prisoner brought one of her children to him on the 24th of November, but he could not say whether it was the deceased Bridget, or another child. It was labouring under bronchitis, and he prescribed for it, and the mother took it away. Ou the Sunday following he saw the &ceased child Bridget. The body was exceedingly emaciated, and the neck wet so be grimed with dirt, that it could not be washed off. Upon making a post-mortim examination, he discovered that the vessels of the braii, were slightly congested, and there was also a small quantity of watery fluid in the ventricles of the brain. The air vessels of tie lungs were dilated to a very considerable extent, but were otherwise healthy, and the dilatation would be the result of hooping cough. The stomach was pale and empty ; the intestines were very small, pale, and vu arty empty, and from all the appear antes he saw ho was of o p inion the child would not have died when it did if it had had proper food. In his opinion the child hail not had uuy "Mid food for thirty-six hours be fore its death. By Mr. Baron Alderson—The child had undoubtedly had the hooping cough, and all the appearances he observed might have been the combined result of that disorder and want of proper fund. lie did not think that the wont of food alone would be suflirient to account for the death. Sometimes the effeet of the hooping cough was to take eiw4 the appetite of a child altogether, and in other eases the child wenld vomit the food immediately after taking it, and would thus require a larger supoly when the stomach became empty. lithe child had suffered from diarrhoea, it woold account fur no food being in the stomach. When the prisoners were called upon for their defence, the man declared that lie had always done ail in his power to support his family, and on the Saturday before this occurred he had given his wife t2s. and some tea and stew. Ile also said that on the Weilneowlay morning before the child died he himself made sonic breakfast for it before he want to Ide work. The female prisoner Said, ale), that she It never neglected her c!,ildren, but she said that her hus band had been out of work. and during the time she had pawned all her clothes to get food for the family. She like wiee said that the children were all ill when they went to Mrs. Walsh 's, and the deceased could nut cat anything for SG hours before it Margaret Murphy, the stepmother of the male prisoner, was culled as a witness for the defence, and she stated that the prisoners always appeared to treat their children kindly. A better father, she said, could not be ; and the mother was a very good mother, only she would some times take a drop. The day before the child died, she was in convulsions, and they were compelled to force her :south open with a spoon to give her food. She was at the eame time also suffering from hooping-cough and ilkorrhasn. Mr. Baron Alderson, upon licarims this evidence, asked the jury whether they did not think the case was too doubt ful to justify thcm iu coming to a vonelusion against the prisoners ? The jury said they were quite of that opinion. His lordship Miserved that it could not be expected of poor pc , ph' that they should take the same care and pro vide the same remedies for their children as the rich, and h: was afraid that a great number of children died among, the poor whose lives might have been saved if proper care had been taken of them. A verdict of NM Gulley was then taken. His lordship, in ordering the prisoners to be discharged, exhorted the man in an impressive manner to abstain from drinking in future, and to employ the good wages which it ; appeared he was able to earn in presiding properly for his family, and thus avoid the probability of such a deplorable again taking place. NEW COE RT.—YESTERDAT. &rot% TIM ItM/Ilkl.lla. PERJURY. Dotiklen, a repectable looking middle-aged man, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. The facts of the case, which occupied the court until a Late hour, lay in a very narrow compass. The defendant it nppeared was a fruiterer, and had for nearly 20 years carried on business at Nu. :el, Albany-street, Regent's park. The landlord of the house was a Mr. Gee. Healy, of the King's-head, New Oxford-street, and down to the year 1418, the defendant had always paid his rent, at first 80/. auil then 701. u-year, most punctually down to 1818, aol then becoming enthralled in some legal proceedings hu fell in arrears with his rent, and in the December of last year he owed five quarters' rent. At that quarter hr paid a quarter's rent, which would have cleared him up' to the December quarter, 1849 ; but the present prosecutor at the time he made out the receipt, being engaged making cut several fur the year 18 made out the one in question to that date and transmitted it through the post to defendant, and it was not until sometime atter that he found out his mistake, and then not thinking but that the defendant was a man of honour, did not men tion the affair until some time afterwards, and then de fendant affected to have forgotten the rent due, said that having his receipt up to 13-4 l hr was but indebted to him the quarter then due, and, after some interviews, defendant said he should put the affair in the hands of his solicitor, and ultimately Mr. Healy put a distraint into defendant's house and sold off all his goods. The defendant contended he had no right to seize for more than one quarter, and ultimately brought an acti , in against Mr. Healy for exces sive distraint, and the trial came on before Mr. Ilaron Platt in the Court of Exchequer on the 24th of November and lasted two days. The prevent defendant then swore in a most reckless manner to a number of falsehoods to suppert his claim, all of which were in the most distinct manner negatived by the present 'prosecutor, and, after a most patient invedigation, the jury at once found for Mr. Healy, and Mr. Baron Platt committed the defendant fur qury . r. Villiam Dennison, short-hand writer, produced his notes of the defendant's examination on the trial, and the evidence of Me Healy and his son, which most clearly proved the allegations of perjury named in the indictment. Mr. Mohan addressed the jury, pnd contended that the prisoner might have thought the amount had been paid. His Lordship having summed up, The jury immediately found the prisoner Gtsiley. Sentence deferred. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTIRDAY. BUM' NZ. SIIJI OR Ao*x, AMISTANT JCDOZ. Sam ut , l Candler, collector of assessed taxes, for Clerken well, surrendered in discharge of bail to answer an indict ment in which he was charged with having assaulted Kesia Bayley. The prosecutrix was the wife of a tinplate worker, living at No. 21, King-street, Clerkenwell, and the principal fea tures of the charge she preferred against the defendant hero recently been made public in the police reports. She de posed that on the afternoon of the Ist of the present month, I the defendant, whom she hod known for some time as the coileetor of the assessed tales, called at her house, at about three o'clock, and asked if Mr. Bayley was at home. She answered his knock at the door, and informed him that Mr. Bayley was not at home. Tho defendant was alone then. lie walked into the passage, and proceeded to chuck her under the chin, which he repeated several times, and the door against which he was leaning happen ing to creak, he remarked that the hinges ought to be greased, and that Mr. Bayley was a lazy fellow not to have greased them. Ile then stooped down as if to look at the hingts, and whilst doing so attempted to place his hand under her petticoats, but she prevented his doing so, and said, if he attempted such a thing again she would slap his face. Upon this he went away, and returned again in about an hour with two men. She was then up stairs in her bedroom dressing, and the door was opened to the 1 def,a.l4lit be a lad named Tour g, and the d e f e nd an t went up stain and knocked at her bedroom door, and demanded admittaacia nit said they could not ems in then, up= which the dsfsodant said she moat maks hasty or he would Pieta. break the door open, and he then went into a back room to take an inventory of the goods. lie then went hack to her bedroom door and said it' it .was not soon opened he should get a policeman to break it open, and told one of his men to break - it open. Ile then went down stairs, and called the man down stairs. She afterwards took some money from her husband'scash-box, and went down stairs. She found the defendant and the two men in the back parlour, which was used as a kitchen. Iler servant and a boy, named Young, were also there. She then asked Mr. Candler his business. Ile made no reply, but kissed his hand to her half a-dozen times or so. He stroked his hand down her face, and poked her about inch cently. She desired him to desist, when he told her nut to bring her obnoxious breath near him. She then said she should send for assistance, and did send the hey Young to Ptah her brother, but he W. 1,4 nut at 'tame. The defendant had attempted to take liberties Mere, hut she had never sanctioned his doing so. Iler husband came home about five that afternoon, and, when he arrived,she told hi.o what the defendant had beet, doing. On Pemer occasions the defendant had asked her indecent questions. In cross-examination, she said she remained in the pas sow, after the defendaut had tried to take liberties with her, five minutes. The servant girl was cleaning the front windows at the time. She did not call hoe. Thero was a hell at teas door, which communicated with tho workshop. She did nut call out ur ring the bell, because, as the door wee open, she thought the defendant would go. 'There were lodgers in the house, hut she did not call them. She aid not know that Mr. Centiler had come to the house to levy fur the aeseosed taxes; that she would swear. She could not tell whether he had levied for taxes before in the teelve months they had been in the house. Mr. Bayucy deposed to his wile having informed him of what the delentlant had dune, and to his having waited on hint in consequence. He said witness had not got a wife worthy of having liberties taken with her, and said he might summons, get a warr no, bring an action, or do what he liked. On the day in question Canner hod put • man in possession for 11. 3'. 4d. The witness was cross-examined at great length relative to his liabilities tar assessed taxes. It appeared that be had lived in the house some time as tenant of his brother, who was executor'', of his father's will, but had only had the house on his awn responsibility since Midsummer last. There was the sum of 6/. I3s. owing fur taxes, bat thcre was a dispute as to who should pay it. A man was put in possession in April and the October of the present year, but they were withdrawn. Witncss signed a request for the withdrawal in April, but on being shown the document he at first denied his signature, but afterwards admitted it. lie could not say that the man was withdrawn in October because he had denied his signature to that document. lie did not know that Mr. Candler had paid the money out of his own pocket. The witness prevaricated to such an extent as to call forth a severe admonition from the learned judge. A witness, named Stanton, who was _pre seta at the in terview between the defendant and Mr. Bayley, the taivant girl, and the boy Young, gave evidence. Mr. l'arry made a long address to the jury, dwelling on the importance of the issue to the defendant. Ile said the charge was utterly and entirely false, and was trumped up in • spitit of revenge against Mr. Candler, and that it was the result of a conspiracy between Bayley and his wife, who felt aggrieved at the course taken by Mr. Candler with reference to arrears of taxes. Evidence was then given. A number of witnesses proved that on the afternoon of the day iu que,tion Mr. Candler slid u d leave home until half-past 3 oalet lc, and then in' company with two men named l'rice and Yeoman's. Those two individuals aworo that they all proceeded direct to Bayley's house to make a levy. Price: entered first, Candler and ]commas afterwards. They described in evidence what t sult place, materially contradicting the witnesses for the prosecution. Mr. Candler, they swore, did not go alone to the house at all that day, and what took place was in their presence. The defenotant made is remark about the Leek door requiring a little grease, and told the boy Young he was lazy not to do it. When they were all in the hack parlour together, MN. Bayley asked what Candler wanted. Ile said the property-tax. She ..aid she should leave Mr. Bayley to pay that, and askeil Cendler what he came there to insult her for, and threatened to give him into custody. Candler said he would go without being given in charge, ne he saw she was a woman who would swear a man's life away, and at the same time he made a gesture with his fingers on his mouth, signifying that he was dumb, and would say no mare to her. She had construed that into his having kissed his hand to her. They must positively denied that any assault was committed by the defendant. The defendant held his hand toward Mr.. Bayley when she was in the kitchen. A number of witnesses gave the defendant a high cha racter Mr morality and good behaviour Mr from 18 to 40 years. Mr. O'Brien replied. The learned judge summed up the case with great care anti minuteness. lie said it was quite clear there was per jury on one side or the other, and left it to the jury to say, first, whetie r they believed Mrs. Bayley ant all ; and if they did, whether they believed her story of the assault in the passage, when, as she said, the defentiant was alone, or that the defendant might have touched her in such a way as to constitute an assault in point of law, when She was la the back parlour. The Jury, after an hour's deliberation, Acquitted the defendant of having assaulted Mrs. Bayley in the passage, but found him Galley of having committed a mutation as sault in the kitchen, by laying his hand upon her, in the preeence of the other parties. They wished their verdict to be as " as possible. The learned Judge said that verdict was equivalent to one of acquittal generally, as far as Mr. Candler's character was concerned—he was acquittcd of the serious part of the charge. Ile quite concurred in the verdict. Having made some severe strictures upon the prosecutrix and her hus band, he sentenced the defendantto pay a tine of Is., and to be then discharged. The defendant left the court with a greet number of hie friends. 'the court was crowded, and the verdict was not returned until a quarter past 8 o'clock. THE POLICE _ COU.II7'S. GUILL;IILL._ _ _ Josep4 Cor,dePeribedasataorand draper, 22, Drum mond.strect, Easton-square, was brought up for further examination on a charge of endeavouring to obtain a loan of lOW. from the trustees of a charity entitled " Wilson's Trust," for assisting tradesmen, by forgery and false pre tences, and was again remanded. C LE ltK EN WELL. Henry Marthi Ilumayan was again placed at the bar, charged with having by rabic and fraudulent means ob tained 1/. 3s. 6d. from Mrs. Ann White. The prisoner, it will be recollected was apprehended by Fisher, 127 0, of the detective force by the instructions of Mr. Serjeant Adams, the Assist ,nt Judge of the Middlesex Sessions, brought to this court, and remanded at his awn request for the purpose of procuring the attendance of Mr. Horry, the barrister. The prisoner hail pretended to be clerk to a Mr. Hadwin, and had, it was alleged, received money of Mrs. White to engage Mr. Harry to defend her husband. Mrs. Ann White was called, and having been sworn, she repeated her previous statement. She added, that she did not see Mr. !Lorry in the court, and she engaged Mr. O'Brien. Mr. Tvrwhitt—ls Mr. Horry pr,sent ? Mr. Wakeling—lle is not; and the cage was pck,tponed at the prisoner's reques', in order to secure his attendance. Prigmer—l wish to question Mrs. White, and that all the witnesses may be ordered out of the court. Mr. Wakeling —I shall apply for a summons to compel the attendance of Mr. liorry. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Have you taken soy trouble to fetch Mr. Holy here ? Prisoner (dramatically)—l can prove fearlessly, by a witness, a gentleman of property, that I am innocent. I never h ad a farthing of the woman's money. All that I want is justice ; uud as Shakespeare says--.. He who steals my purse, steals trash ; but he who robs me of my good name," ece. I swear solemnly to God, that I never had a halfpenny from her. It is very well for Mr. Wakeling, with all his talents and legal acquirements, to stand there against me, but lam innocent. You may as well take my life as my integrity. And to be dragged from my family ! I have two brothers barristers, and was educated to the profession myself, and am incapable of what is attributed to Mt. Mr. Tyrwhitt-1 can only say that I do not otnr any opinion or remark as to the absence of Mr. Horsy. The prisoner has not, perhaps, requested hint to attend here. Prisoner—l wish the Ctillt, to go on. I can prove au alibi. William Fisher, 127 0, gave evidence as to the appre hension of the prisoner. Mr. Tyrwbitt said he would remand the prisoner, and suggested that under the circumstances, an application should be made to Mr. Hurry, instead of serving a sum mons to compel his attendance. If he was not willing to attend, then a summons might be served upon him. Mr. Wakeling said that the notice taken of the case by the press, he thought, ought to operate as sufficient sum. mons for his attendance. He (Mr. Wakeling), however, would adopt the course suggested by the worthy magistrate. The prisoner was then taken from the bsr, protesting his innocence. DAILY WEATHER TABLE.

There is rather a better feeling in the market to day, which does not close more heavily than yesterday. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of American are a full hd. per lb. down, Maze io id., hut other sorts are less changed. The sales arc esti mated at 6,0u0 bales, 500 of which were on speculation, and include 150 Pernam and Maranham at s:d. to Od.; 1410 Egyptian, chiefly, fell.; and 1,000 Surat, 2:41. to 3:d. Imports since Thursday, 15,000 hales. MINCIIEATER, 18.—There is still hut little doing in cotton yarns and cloth, but there is more animation than hos been observable since the occurrence of the recent start ling events in France, though operations are chiefly con fined to the immediate and pressing wants of the buyer. The season is one when German operations are generally confined to the smallest limits ; but within this last day or two there have been more buyers in the market for the home trade and for India, and these have created a more cheerful feeling in the market. Prices have given way slightly under the influence of a drooping cotton market, and American whim, which s,•eak of a larger crop than in any previous year. Indian advice' arc considered mere favourable than soy received for some months past, and Imo led to operations as already stated, but still all parties are disposed to buy cautiously. WOOL.—DgAriroan, Dcc. 18.—There is more doing in some kinds of combing Wools. The supply of good Wools is very limited, and held for firm prices. MANUFACTURES.- - Bitanronn, Dec. 18.—Yarns arc better sale, both for: home consumption and export. The prices sought for Wool malcNi the position worse than ever, and unless higher prices are realised, we fear the short-time workingi must continue. Pieces : There is more inquiry for Foods, which it is not improbable may lead to active - business, as every one seems satisfied that they have seen the lowest point. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Norrixottxm, Dec. 18.—It is somewhat consoling, in the present distressed state of the trade of Nottingham, that there is an unex pected revival in the silk glove branch, which has been so Hat since March last, and that the distressed hands are get ting to work once more. The finer descriptions of cotton hose are in a very fair condition, the round frames not yet Laing come into competition with them ; in fact, they seem only calculated to make cat-ups and piece, to be footed on the common frame+. The attempts to make straight frames, or turn-agains having a list web, have not yet succeeded. It is said that a mechanic has succeeded in applying an ap paratus to them to make eyelet-hole work. The bobbin net tra le, with the exception of a few pusher and plain uct., , , is ' in a lamentable state of depression. Must of the warehouses are working halkime, and the machines arc tither stint,d, stopped, o: altering: great distress prevails. The warp lace and warp fabric generally is in a much better condition, and as spring approaches greater exertions will be made.
