h qulitos, the jury must believe the meant given cf the j matter by Harvey, fur the dsfeadaat, who was in court, had nut teen ealled to contradict him. The plaintiff stated that be it .t 2,010 thous, and he said that he allowed hie 3,000 other Ilikllllll to remota in the hands of , fres ; and they, with Iron's 3,.C) and 0.000 others, were to be ellausited by the defender.: in the handsof , Mears loiter Brothers for sale few the ► benefit of the ' eyesore individually. The plaintiff further said that the defendeat stated that if they deposited their shares, he might probably iadues Knell to depseit the other 12,000, and then there would be 24,000 shales in F'oster's hands to be dealt with sou not to affect the market. The object was, that just u gulls offered the °teener, pabulum might be provided, and them gentlemen—Le bteged pardon-- these persoas—(a laugh)—might gull the public. If the defendant did get the shares urea these terms, no doubt the declaration was supported; and there could be no doubt he did so get than. It was objected on the part of the defendant that the whole affair was a pint comfits • sort of partnership, sad that the plain:A had no separate title in the 3,000 shares, but only a j tint .nterest in the whole 12,000; but upon that part of the case Mr. Harvey said then was a further agreement that the shares should be disposed of for the benefit of the respective owners, and not jointly. r.Serj t. Biles then put irs ths docuounes that had been read, and contended that there was no lien on the shares, but that had not been made out, for a lien could not attach until the shares were deposited. It seemed to him, and he was very sorry for it, that on the first count, if they took his view of the ease, the question was only ace of damages. As to the second count, a barrister took a covenant for 1,000 abates fu work dour, and it war al:egee: that hoc promised Harvey to hand them over to Doyle. lie could not see any evidence of this. The count in trout came to the same thing as the first count there was no lien. a separate pro perty ill Harvey, end • eonven:,n by Irma in giving the property to somebody else. Cpoa the question of what ought to be the =oast of drinlies. they must take the real value cf the shares at the time of the injury done, which was about December or January lut, into consideration. Mr. Chambers bed said that the shares were then worth 21.. a share, and they were now worth only At, and he claimed the difference be tween these values as denatures ; but they :oust not take the price that a few shares might have :itched, put wet in small quantities, as a test of what ac 3,000 were worth. Mr. Cbainhen says in his reply, that the 3,000 shares were worth 730 f. at ell events, because they were deposited as pledges fo: that amount; but tke mallet of Len was no vide:ice of value. . .

IiLFOLI MIL IS HZ OR LAYS CONSUL AT BTITTI K. The bankrupt, Joseph Obeli, was a partner in the firm of Moberley and Co. merchants, of Union-court, Old Brad street. Not surri ndering at the time appointed, he was outlawed, sod has not since appeared. This was a meeting for the consideration of certain proes or. balls of exchange, drawn by the bankrupt upon and accepted by the house of Mobtelsy and Vo., of which be wa, o member. Ile. Pulling, representing the Royal Bank of Scotland, who had discounted these hills to the amount of 1,1001., oontendcil that he had a right of proof against the separate estate of the drawer, though proof bad already been made against the joint estate of Meberley and Co., the acceptors, it being unknown to the holden that Okall was a member of that firm. Mr. Rees tendered a similar proof for 1,123/. on behalf of the National Provincial Mink of Er.&!suid. Mr. Mplani (instructed by Minus. Reed, Langford, and Marsden) fur the &signets', rotated the proofs, relying principally oaths authority of exports Moult (1 D. and Ch., 11, and 2 D and Ch., 419). The principle in bankruptcy was, that a party should not be entitled to a double proof, which would be given in this case if the proof were a sittfd,_ . . Hie Honour said he considered Einsseif bound by the do- Milos in eaparte Moult, and must reject the claim of those parties to prove against the estate of Okell, wbohad already proved against the joint estate. Mr. Reed said the proofs against the joint estate had been admitted by arrangement ; and he would now allow the claimanta to make their election. _ . Mr. Aspload took a farther obiection to some of the bills whisk purported to have been drawn by the bankrupt at Stettin, being on foreign paper and without stamps, though the bankrupt was in Landon at the time. The evidence on this point not being quite complete, the cam was adjourned.

After some biding amendments were made la the balance sheet, his Honour said the case was a eery singular me, mid apparently one of great misfortune. The report of Mr. the official assignee, stated that the circumstances of the cam were such as to call for great sympathy from the creditors, and to entitle the bankrupt to the favourable consideration of the mart. It appeared that in May last, his brother, Samuel Goldsmith, had left England for the purpose of prosecuting the business of the barawrship on thecontineut ; but in Jalyhast be was ao-tally killed by falling from • precipice in Switzerland. TM news of this distressing calamity reached the bankrupt m the 27th of the same month; sad, beteg apprehensive of the eons,- queues, he immediately placed his affairs in the hands of hie creditors, with the sole view of sureariag a just sad ',eatable distribution of his assets.

A question bad been raised respecting some pictures purchased by the bankrupt's brother abroad; it was desirable that the circumstances should be stated in the balance-sheet ; and with that addition the b an k rup t would pass. Thithrasva polies had taken pometsion of the brother's ripen after his death ; but the 'mignon were aow endeavouring to obtain them, sad expected to do so. Mr. Appletcm, representing some Paris creditors, wished for an explanation of some items in the accounts, which was given. The hsokeupt then passed, and a day was named for the cettificate meeting. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YwrzwAT. LAW. IN NATTER OF JAM= DAIIIII. This insolvent, who applied to be discharged from prison, was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the nest of three persons named Waterlow, AUin, and Creel°, as trustees of the Loyal Friends' (lift Fund Society. Mr Nichols supported. The complaint was that a debt had been improperly con tracted with the society. In 1849, the insolvent who had been • hem/Atop-keeper in Brick-lane, St. Luke's, petitioned this mart under the Protection Act, and his petition was dis missed on account of a bill of sale he had given to hie mother in-law. In 1881, the insolvent executed a bond with a per son named Davis, as surety for 1001., for one Charles James Plant, the treasurer, who kept the Sun Dial in Doswell street Davis died, and in July last the insolvent and a person (named Orimes, in consequence of the death of Davis. executed another bond to the society for Plant, in 1001 The second bond was executed on Tuesday the bth July, and on the eatneday following Plant absconded, and his defalcations were ascertained to amount to 821. se. 5d., for which the insolvent was sued on his bond, and was now in custody at the suit of the trustees of the society. Since the second bond was executed, the defalcations wore under 201. The three trustees and the secretary were called in sup port of the opposition, as also Mr. Hutson their attorney. It appeared that the trustees were not aware that the inset vest had petitioned as an insolvent, and believed that he was able to ply. 1 he Chief Commissioner wished to know what grounds the trustees bad for believing the insolventwas responsible ? It appeared that on the first occasion the insolvent had the bond eaplained to him, and told he was liable to 1001. for any defalcation of Plant; and on the second occasion be was conversed with oa the same subject, and was considered a ' , Arent man. The insolvent stated that he signed the bond 18 months after ho petitioned the court. He bad no means of paying the 100/. for which he became surety to the society. Me had known Plant for 12 year', and be,iered he was a re sponsible man. His debts were 472/., and some were before tte former insolvency. Mr. Cooke submitted that the insolvent had contracted a lial.,lity for Plant without any chance of paying it. He ap peared for • class of men who formed a benevolent society, and they deserved the ayispatLy of the mart and its protec t:on, when they complained that the insolvent had incurred a debt with them without reasonable or probable expecta tions of payment. Mr Nichols relied on the evidence as not being sufficient ti establish the complaint. Since the second bond the de falcations were not above 121. The ease had utterly failed y the evidence. The Chief Commissioner said the only question was whether the insolvent was justified in becoming surety far Plant. It was net sowsted that there was fraud in the transaction. It was Weever clear that he know hie ciccusatassis, although the society did not. Hs thought the aociety had been easily satisfied with his secii-ity ; he was a beer-shop keipir, and his Commis.ioner's) opinion was that suca persons woad have en ugh to do to y their own deli:* on being suddenly asked for payment. Itwas a liab.lity incurred without means of payment, and was similar to a bill of exchange given for another party. His Honour pronounced a judgment of five months from the vesting order made on the 23rd November, at the suit of the trustees of the society. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1853. IN RI ARILLHAN NORTH LTRI. This insolvent, who had been a grocer at Hanford, appeared to receive judgment. Mr. Cooke opposed for the British Mutual Loan !wistaria Society, clue 37, and Mr. Dowse supported. It appeared that the insolvent was joint security with a person named Sion for one Perry, an attorney's clerk at Bamford (who had lately petitioned the court), for 1001. The complaint was that the insolvent bad contracted a debt without reasonable expectation of payment. The Chief CollllllilliOlter considered that the insolvent had traded, in being surety for other persona, end was not • person to be discharged without a judgment. His Honour gave a judgment of seven months from the vesting order, for contracting a debt with the opposing creditors without reasonable expectations of payment. SUOMI 112. COlOll.lllO/111 FNILLIFII.

The in solvent compoucded in Ostabor last year. In Jely lest, he got credit with the omelet sealitess, sod now owed them Just upon 31i0!. He got goods sad pledged them, some on the very day oa which they were obtained of Messrs. Barber and Evans. He said Messrs. Basher and Evans were reckless in giving him credit. It wee known in the trade that he had compounded, and they made no inquiry. He was arrested by his sister-in-law, Miss Griffiths, in • friet.d.y manner, to give up his property, which in the whole he considered worth more than 40A He had pledged to meet bill,. Mr. Evans, one of the partneri, woo ozonised, sad the traveller Jenkins. . . . . Mr. Evans said he was not aware that the insolvent was other this solvent, sad Jenkins stated that he did not know of the composition. The insolvent stated that ',akins know of his oompo sitioa. Mr. Cooke said he appeared for an excellent society, and they had brought tlth ease before the public. It was a cue of fraud in getting goods and pledging them. Mr. Ssrgood insisted that due caution had not been exercised by the oppaing creditors, before they allowed the insolvent to have such large supplies of goods. Mr. Commissioner Phillips gave his opinion after six o'clock. He considered that Mr. Evans lad been in cautious in giving credit. The insolvent had taken advan tage of it, but it was no excuse to him He believed that after the first goods, the insolvent had no intention of pay ing. This mason important case to the Uediag immunity. The judgment would be six calendar meths' from the vest ing order. THE POLICE COME. MANSION-HOUSE. R.

George Robinson was on daty in Salisbury-square, Fleet street, yesterday morning about half-peat three o'clock, when he met the defendant Oakley at the and of his beat. Tits defiendant used most abusive °assuage to him. Com- plainant said "Be careful Oakley, 1 see you have been drinking." Defendant then uttered a very disgusting threet, and inflicted a violent kick upon occmplainant, who imsaediately after informed the sergeant of his conduct. The sergeant said the affair should be inquired into when they came of diity, and complainant than went round his beat, but on arriving at the same point main he found the defendant waiting for him.

Soon after the sentence was passed upon defendant he was informed that he was discharged from the police force. BOW-STREET. _ - - A gentleman, whose name did not transpire, waited upon Mr. Jardine to draw hie attention to the condition of a poor miserable-looking, half naked young girl whom he had found begging in Chaneery,ane, and who, for two or three years past, had been regularly stripped, and sent into the streets during the inclement season by her inhuman father. The child was brought into court by a police constable, and was at once' identi fi ed as • practised mendicant, although only ten or twelve y. an old. It was stated that she usually begged in company with a sister, two years older, who was one of the most artful beggars in London, and was supposed to be at the present moment in gaol. They were destitute of shoes and stockings, and had no under clothing of any kind. The skirts of their dirty frocks, which they appeared to hold upon their backs while &hulling along in's crouching attitude, were purposely torn into slits so as to enable them to exhibit their naked lege to pavers-by, and they were provided with scanty shawls, capable of affording no warmth, but sufficient to enable them to conceal their rags, in a moment, upon the approach of • policeman. The gen tleman stated that when he first saw the child now in court, two or three winter, ago, he was is the habit of relieving her occasionally ; but her habitual attendance in the tame part of the town, on the:recurrence of severe weather, satis fied him that he was only doing her a wrong to relieve lier. de felt most anilines to do sow, thing for the permanent ad vantage of the girl—even if no: v to get her removed from the neighbourhood to which his professional occupation called him daily, and which Lad been rendered positively miserable to him by the abject wretchedness of this child. A mendicity oMarr. who happened to be present, said that 'he child was extremely deaf, owing to cold and fever. The father was a bricklayer s labourer, but he lived entirely upon the earnings of the two children, whom mether way dead. He Lad tried once to find the father, by direction of Mr. Henry, but the landlady where he lived would give him no satisfactory information respecting him, and he had never succeeded in meeting with him. Mr. Jardine fully sympathis.d with the gentleman who bad interested himself in the child's behalf, but the diffi culty in these mess had been shindy created by the public itself, to whom was attributable the satire reepossibility of the evils attending the sj stem. so tong as: street itegginx eon tinny! to be one td the Inii-t fi..tbishing of tratks—rii keg . as foolish people were induced to give relief indiscriminately ! :von the tsith of the poverty aria oditction exhibited 'fru fissions:4 (and often with extraordinary cleverness) in t:.e • publi: streets—there was little hope of auy practicxl remedy being effected, f..r if these children were sent to the workhouse or an asylum, chick they themselves invariably objected to, as they lived well enough at home, their parents were sure to have them out agaiu within& week afterwards. the eentlemsn left half a sovereign for the child, who was, ler the present, seat to the Strand Union. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Rcl...ert Richmond, cab driver, was charged with making use id insulting language, and ether misconduct', towards Miss Mary Ann Junes, of No. 31, Edward•street. The complainant said the delendant was called from the rank at the Orford-street end of Semen-street to take her self and sister to Harrington-street. The defendant when asked his fare said Is. 6d., but u the distance was under two miles, complainant said she would not pay more than a shilling. She wee about to get into the cab when the de fendant said he would not take them. She insisted on getting into the cab, and as she was doing so the defendant Jammed her arm with the door, and also her leg. When she was inside the defendant told her she might sit there — (concluding the sentence with a horrid imprecation). The defendant, finding she was resolute, drove slowly away, taking a roundabout road, and making so much intentional delay that she insisted on his driving to the nearest station-house. The defendant pretended he did not know where to find the station-house, but at last he drove them to Albany-street, where an appeal was made to t►e police, and the defendant's number was obtained. When she got home she found her arm pained her very much, and on examination the limb was (quad to be so seriously injured that she was obliged to have it fo mented and to wear it for several days in a sling. The consequences of the violence had not yet diesgpsared. The complainant's statement wee ceniborsted by her sister. The cabman, in defence, said other cabs detained to take the ladies, and he conceived he bad • right be do the same. The campanula said there wee en • word of truth in the defendant's mention. The only sub idled was the de fendant's cab, and the only reason he d - u 1 r take them was because they would sot pay men en the legal fen.

He did so, and then he sail before he could go on with the can he must be paid a guinea. The money was paid to the prisoner, and the prisoner then said, he would take out • writ against Mr. Bond and institute proceedings against him for an illegal distress. The prisoner obtained at various other times, small sues of money en pretence that he wanted money for the legal sixpences.

CORN.—CHILIISFORD, DEc. 16.—There was • em•l supply of wheat at market to-day, with a good demand for red, which was easily disposed of at an advance of 2s. to 3.. per qr. Wheat, red, 70s. to Us. ; extra, 765.; white, 73a. to M. ; extra 795. The market closed very firm, Barley also was taken at advancing prices, Is. to 2s. per quarter on all descriptions, 38s. to 44.. Beans in fair supply, and rather better sale. LINCOLN, Bac. 16.—Our market has been animated to day, and wheat met a good demand at 4s. per qr. over las week's prices ; Red 765. to 775. ; white, 78s. to 89s. Barley met a better demand ; fine was Is. to 2s. dearer; prices 371 to 435. Oats about the same-24e. to 301. Beans, few offering 695. to 60s. Liveeroot, Dec. 13.—At this day's market there was a good attendance of the town and country trade and of millers and dealers from a distance, and an extensive de mand was experienced for American white wheat ant flour, chiefly for consumption, and a large business done, at an advance of fully 4d. per 701bs. and 2s. per barrel, 10s. 6d. to 10s. 9d. per 761br. being obtainable for best white Ame rican, and 10s. 4d. to 10s. 6d. per 701 be. for mixed and Canadian wheats, 365. 9d. to 375. 3d. per barrel for Western Canal, and 375. 6d. to 371.9 d. per barrel for Baltimore and Philadelphia flour. lied wheats not having been so much depressed, cannot be quoted more than 2d. per 701bs. dearer. Oats and oatmeal met with a very slow sale, and last Tues day's prices could not be exceeded for either article. Bar ley and beans were without alteration in value, and only in limited request. Indian corn was rather more inquired for, but remained as last quoted. Arrivals into Liverpool from the 13th to the 15th Dee., inclusive:—Wheat, 1,698 qrs. ; malt, 34; oats, 2,866; peas, 749; Indian corn, 3,239 ; oatmeal, 3,845 sacks; flour, 298 auks, 12,629 barrels. Ex ports to Ireland :—Wheat, 896 qn.; Indian corn, 1,018; flour, 410 sacks, 1,110 barrels. WAX/FIELD, Dec. 16.—The arrivals of wheat continue upon an unusually small scale, the demand for France and Belgium has been active this week, and some sales are now made of new from the east ooast, at relatively high prices ; these circumstances have imparted increased confidence to holders. A good business was done at Leeds on Tuesday at higher rates, and to-day we an enabled to quote an advance of 41. per qr. on new, and 3s. on fresh old, upon the quotations of last week, and a lugs sale. Barley in more request, and all qualities are is. to 2s. per qr. higher. Oats and shelling tend upwards. Beans firm at previous rates. Little pass ing in other articles.

The clipper ship, Shooting Star, of 1,500 tons burthen, is lying in No. 2, Queen's graving dock, and Messrs. Humble and Grayson, shipbuilders, have contracted to execute the fastening work of the vessel. The fastening is of rather a novel description, and comprises not only the ordinary quantity of iron knees but also a double set of oak diagonals. The time for the work being limited, and the days short, it occurred to Mr. Grayson that by the aid of gas from the main intro duced into the ship by a pipe passed through the side of the vessel, illuminatit.g power might be obtained of a far better description than that given by the ordinary lanterns, while there would be much lees risk of fire. Having resolved to try the experiment, if the necessary facilities were afforded, he set about to obtain the consent of the authorities. Public bodies are slow to move in matters of improvement, however apparent the benefit to be derived. Application was made to the secretary of the dock committee for the necessary permission ; he could not act without the instructions of the harbour-masters' sub-committee; the harbour masters' committee could not act without a report from the surveyor; the surveyor having reported in favour, and the committee having agreed, I the officials at the gas works had next to be em pl oye d, an d they could not act without the consent of the directors. The directors having approved, another difficulty presented itself—the police had to be consulted. At length, how ever, Mr. Gray-on was successful in obtaining the consent of all parties, and tie workmen of the firm may now be seen at work day and night, the hold of the vessel being brilliantly lighted up by twenty common st ree t l am p s sus pended from the hems of the vessel. Fourteen of the lamps illuminate the lower hold, and six the between decks. From the great size and beauty of the ship, and the novelty both of the work well and the manner of completing it within the prescribed time. considerable interest has been excited among all connected with shipping during the last few days. We understand that the ship will remain in the graving dock for about a fortnight.

Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 225. 104 d. Sugar, the produce of the But Indies, 255. 81d. The average price of the three foregoing descriptions of sugar, jointly, is 23e. BIUSTOL, Dcc. 16. Suaat.—Our market continues to improve, and prices are well supported; in West India demnptions, a steady business has been done both for pan and scale purposes, sad of Mauritius 16,000 mats have been deposed of for arrival, on terms which have not transpired; in Foreign we have nothing to report for went of a supply, and the stocks of all kinds in this port are now very much reduced. For nfinen produce there has been an improved demand this week, and some extensive transactions are reported, but at a reduction in priors of about 6d. per cwt.; the stocks which had been socumulating in this hands of the have now all been dared off. For of improvement in the demand, for although no actual transactions are reported this week, still there is evidently rather more inquiry for the article, and purchases could not now be made on as good ternss as of late. The Faun market continues much depressed. COTTON.—lavzurooi, Deo. I6.—The most striking feature of our cotton market is its uniform steadiness; scarcely any change whatever having taken place for the last six weeks, and none calling for an alteration in the scabs of quotations. The oaly exception is that of Sea Islands, to which we drew attention last week. It will be observed that the comparative moderate price of the ordi nary and mammon qualities, both of Americans and Surat., has drawn the attention of speculators to those descriptions, and the result has been that both those kinds are a little more appreciated, and less urgently pressed on the market for sale. Every other kind and quality, including Egyp tians, Brasile, the middling and better qualities of Ameri cans and Sunni, are just as before, Egypti►ns being still heavy at the quotations. WOOL.—Lnws, Dac. 16.—There has bees a fair busi ness done in deep grown English clothing wools this week, and prices are firm at last week's rates. In other wools we do not quote any alteration. LACE AND HOSlERY.—Novmenfax TRADE.—We have not much alteration to report from last week. The lace trade is at the peewit moment quite as healthy as it ever is at this particular season; a goad number of orders still remain on hand ; these keep the manufacturers fully employed, especially in producing goods of tke common class. Great preparations, however, are also making f-r the spring trade, particularly in the white silk department, which is expected to prove unusually active. In the black silk branches then continues to be for the present very little doing; but it is sanguinely expected that this bane h also will experienos a material improvement in the ensuing season. A good deal of business has been transacted in the curtain nude ; Saxony edgings remain very dual and are but little inquired after. The greater number of American purchasers have now left for their own country—the re. minder it is expected will quit us early in the coming year. The lace manu fac turers entertain some hopes that a farther reduction in the Ilia of cotton will s►aetly occur, the lugs SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED.

SHAM PARCELS.—The knaves who resort to this expedient can hardly expect much success bymeans of so stale a trick. If, however, there is one season when, more than at another, the trick is likely to be successful, it is the few days which precede Christmas. A correspondent writes from Grosvenor-place :—On Wednesday afternoon a matt called at my house with a parcel, for which he stated Is. was due for carriage. My servant, suspecting that all was not right, from the circumstance of there being no ticket on the parcel, said that I was at home, and that he would take the parcel to me. Upon this the man said he was in a hurry, and would call again for the money. The parcel was properly directed to me, and purported to have come from Scotland by the " Aberdeen steamer City of London ;" but when I opened it I found nothing but an ordinary brick wrapped up in a quantity of shavings. I immediately sect for a policeman, who said that this dodge had been tried at several houses. lie took a description of the man's dress and appearance, but it is heftily necessary to state that the rascal never " called again."

While at work at the crane, the barge suddenly slipped and fell into the water ; this caused the windlass to revolve with great rapidity, and the handle struck down the de ceased. He was picked up, and conveyed to Bt. Thomas's Hospital ; he died in • quarter of an hour after his odmis. Sion. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Deatn.'
