MR. L !YARD AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. ies!ertiay evening a numerously attended meet ing of the electors and Imo-electors of the borough of South wark amembled at the Bridge House Hotel, London-bridge, o p o uxbe levitation of Mr. A. H. Layard, for the purpose et hearing from the bon. member an address explanatory of his needed in parliament during the past session. The their was taken by Mr. G. NZWILAII. After a few introductory remarks from the Chairman, Mr. LAYAID reviewed the progress made by the English people during the but twenty-five years in education and Intelligence, and protested against the unfavourable con• trust tows de this country which Mews. Cobden and Bright had lately drawn in comparing the state of education and the political power which our working classes enjoy as com• pared with ethers in Europe. He then touched upon our torsi/a policy, expressing his opinion that Eel Hassell's uply to the levitation to a megrim was unanswerable. It was felt that Russia would net give up Poland, Austria Venetia, or France Nice and Savoy, whatever the decision ' of the megrim might be, bet the government felt that if those questions were raised in the congress they might ex its 'operations and animosities which would probably lead to war. He was surprised at the coarse taken by his Italian friends in the matter, because as the majority of the coovess would consist of catholic powers, the result would pro bably be that Rome would continue to be held by the Pope against the wishes of the Hallam people. Italy had everythinii to lose from going into the coogrew, and nothing to gain. (Hear, bear.) He would not at tempt to explain the Dauish question, became it WAS very doubtful whether he understood it himself—(t laugh)— and if he did it was doubtful whether he could explain it to the meeting. But in that cue the British government bad done what they had done in others ; they had en deavoured to persuade the contending parties to come to some uaderstanding to keep the peace, and to ob serve Unities which must be after all the basis of peace. They trusted that they would listen to reason. and not es gage in a war which must lead to inestimable injury to themselves sad to Europe. He approached the (madam of Poland with feelings he could not well describe. A policy almost of extermination was carried on in that unhappy minntry, and carried on relentlessly not only against men, old as well as young. but against women and children. But with all their deep sympathy with Poland, end with every desire to help as unhappy dowc-trodden race. the people of the country felt that they would not be justified is going to war oe their behalf. It bad bees said by the opponents of the government in one voice that they had done too much, and that they had done too little. On the one hand it was asked why they did not go to war hr Poland. and on the other they were accused of giving encouragement to the Polish people. The two charges were irrecoocalleable. The government were bound to remon strate with Kumla, but the country did not desire • that they should go further. But they always found in the his tory of &aliens that great crimes bought their own punish. meat, acid be had beard it very justly remarked that the great deportation of the people of Poland now going on, instead of destroying disaffection, would sow disaffection elsewhere, and it might literally be the case, that the very cruelties that had been committed might ultimately bring about their punishment. (Hear, hear.) As regarded their eooduct in mambo to the Coiled Stake, be thought the government might claim the napprova one o l e . of . the neutrality. Eng people. T er the contending iKch o p d arti es, hut that had been ct a mos difficult course to pursue. Wherever strict neutrality was observed, it was sure to displease both sides, and the very fact that that had been the case in regard to America showed that the policy of the government had been strictly followed. An instance of the extreme difficulty which the government had in doing its duty as • neutral government had recently i occurred in the case of the iron cads. The question had g cites been put why the merchants of this country, who sup- plied gnu and munitions of war to me party, should nct be i allowed to sell ships to the other. (Hear, hear.) The I answer was very simple. There was a law which prohibited i theme's of ships, but no law to prevent the sale of munitions g et war. The course of the goverameat had been to carry I eat the law to the utmost extent, but neither to be cajoled I me coerced into going one iota from it. (Hear, hear.) An i Eighth merchant had a right to the protection of his govern- ] went, and to all that the law entitled him to do; but a whilst the government had a duty to perform, he i thought the really honourable British merchant 1 bad a duty to perform too. (Cheers.) He had seen with deep regret that there had been parties in this country— bat fortunately for the honour and credit of the country there had not been many—who, for the Wm of their own l advents" ma the risk of plunging their country into • war with their felloworeatium on the other side of the Atl a nti c . ' (Cries of "Shame.") U more consideration had been shown 1 by those people, the difficulties with which the government ! had had to oostend would have been materially lumped. ' (Cheers.) T ' from the West to the But. 1m wished to say • word about Turkey, as his some had been • great deal eonnected with that country, sod had been exposed to a 1 great deal of censure for the policy he had advocated to- I wards Turkey. The policy he had supported. however. bad been crowned with success. He was that morning t•dkeir to ' Mr. Cheatham, the chairman of the Manchester Cotton 1 , Supply Association, and that gentlemen told hi m that the country which had done the most to supply the deficiency of the cotton supply, that had shown the greatest energy in the matter, and that had been the most liberal to the cul tivator and buyer, WAS Turkey. (Cheers.) Her finagling had improved to as extent that he could not have contem plated, and they had now the curious tact of Turkey preparing a budget and placing before the world an &boost el her income aodexpenditure. He had regretted to notice the attacks made upon him by a gentleman Dot unknown in this country, and who had undoubtedly some influence— he spoke of Mr. Goldwio Smith, • Feoleaser of history at Oxford. A professor of history, above all others, should carry himself, if possible, away from all the minims of the day, aid look down upon events like • philosophical historian unbiassed by any party feeling or prejudice whatever. As to China, ha was surprised at the misrepresentations that led been sanest with regard to our dealings with that country. He read with astonishment the other day Mr. Cobdee's statement that we went there like Oortexaad Pizarro, that our only object was loot, sad that we were pursuing • policy which must end in our being masters of China. Nothing could be more opposed to the actual condition of our relations with China than thou statements. The policy of the government was sot to be antagoeidie with the government of China, and seeking opportunities of quarrel, bat to come to a right underateurung with that government, treating China as • eivilised nation, admitting our respoueibilities, but com pelling them to observe theirs. The Chinese government had completely changed during the last four or five years, and the old anti-foreign petty being no longer in power, mattes were settled between us by diplomatic notes; instead of by recourse to gum ad ahem Mort important conces sions to British bah bad been gained by aegotiation with the government of Petit, and the policy Misgovernment had framed. instead et leading to . war, kid moved us from war. As to the employment of F:.oglohniga in the service of China that was no more than had beta done ia 'eery country from time immemorial, and was so different is p r i nc iple from the employmentemployment Peter the Great of Engli s h , F renc h , 7 and Germana Al that bad been done in opposition to the Tappings was to protect these forts where e quantities el British merchandise were lying from pi t s rby a body of marauder!, and One the government was booed to do. i l Supposing in the recent distress from the failure of the cotton supply our China markets had been also closed, bow much greater would have been the calamity. As showing the increase is the trade of China, be stated that the amount ef the exports, whirl is 1854 were 1,027,0001., had risen in am years to 5,451,000 f. The trade of Hankow rime it was taken by the rebels had shown a rapid i ncr ease. The total value of the trade in 1862 was 6,189,951 e, show ing so increase of 3,011,4821. 10s. over previous year The total aggregate tonnage was 290,536, of which 128,478 tons represented British vessels, showing en increase of 1,061 vee soh sad 169,103 toes over the previous year. At Shangliae the daties collected in December, 1860, amounted to 122,000+., and in December, 1861, the amount was 281,500/. He proceeded theo to allude to the e,uestion of Japan. and having stated at length the history of the intercourse of foreigners with that mann% , urging that HAMA and America having broken down its isolation. :sad secured arrangements for tied., it was the duty ef this country to enderivour to obtain similar advantages for its merchants. Alluding to the death of Mr. Richard nee, he unneeded that government were bound to demised seders for the outrage committed, sad the Japanese go yeraineat having stated that they could me punish the &Mao who did the wrong, and that the English mot deal with him themselves, there weenoothercoemeopen but that which was takes at Kagoeima. HIM. not true that baying seised the three steamers the admiral flaunted them ‘ before the Japthene. The bay in which they were was • very narrow one, it was blowing • gale of wind, and the admiral mot is as far as he could for shelter. Having seized the vessels they could not get out without promise the batteries en accmat of the narrowness of the place, sad the Mtteries Lying bed apes them, if the fire Mil set been returned it would Lave been reported es • defeat of the Et.ttsh feet, and the result could possibly have been a gerund massacre throughout the country. The British goverment had dons all they could to maintain friendly reLtions with Japan, but he must admit that here, as in China, much of the diffi salty that was experienced arose from the conduct of specu lators, who thought that the only ties of a British Sleet was to eoable them lately to prey upon the people of the country. It was said that the present government bad done no- thing that their opponents would not have done, and yet at the some time feels woe found with them for their coeduet with re-ard to America, to Poland, to Chine, aid Japan. It was tr ue tbot so great political question had been agitated in the house of Commods to show a great distinction be tween parties, but the course the present government bad takes la .11 matters was marked by • thorough liberal ten elmey—a teudency which was proved by the recent appoint ments of Sir Jobs Lawrence to the governor-generalship of Jodie, and of Mr. Stmefeld as • Lord of the Admiralty.

They were of the usual charade', and presented no feature of suftient interest to justify • report. Another &Emit spoke of Use suffer* to which working olle were subject in oossequesce of the destruction of house by metropolitan railways. Mr. LATARD mid it bad been suggested that they should build wherever they destroyed, but a larp number of the bills had weed, and it was not possible to do anything in those mem. The subject was an important me, and be should be ready to accompany • deputation of his °pedi ments to the Board of Trade, to lay the cue before that de partment. (Cheers.) A vote of confidence in the hoe. member was carried by acclamation. Ou the motion of Mr. W. J.

THE Brbll4llBB OF THE CRITRAL MUNDIAL COURT. The Town Ctrex notified to the court the days that bad been appointed 1.7 Mr. Kerr, one of the Commweioners of the Central Criminal Court:for holding the Sheriffs' Court, of which court he is the jud^ and he stated that one of the days so fi xed, the 29th of February, would be the first day of the Central Criminal Court session. He said be believe however, that on the first day of the session the services of the boo. commissioner were not likely to be required. Alderman ROSE, M. P., expressed his opinion that it was unadvimble, in reference to the performance of the brunness of the Central Criminal Court, that the sittings of the She riffs' Court should io any way clash with the Central Cri minal Court seasion. (Hear, hear.) Deputy FAIRER said he quite coscarred in what had been stated by the wortby alderman, and his experience led him to oorne to the conclusion that it might be very important as regarded the time of the public that the comminioner should attend on the first day. He wished it to be under- stood that be did not desire at all to insinuate that Ur, Commissioner Kerr did sot perform all hie duties is the most zealous and able manner, but he considered it meet essential that be should attend on the first day of the ses sion, as it might happen that either the Recorder or the Commoe Serjeant could not be present, end then one of the courts would be idle if the commissioner were not in attendance. The date of the 29th of February was thee expaoged. UTILISATION OF SZIYAGE. The TOWN CLERK rend a communication from Mr. Buz zard, the vestry clerk of St. James's, Westminster, enclosing a resolution agreed to by the vestry of that parish, to the effect that stops should be taken to prevent my coaceesion being granted for the dispose' of the metropolitan sewage until the plans proposed by Mr. Ellis and Sir John Bennie , a other gentlemen, for the utilisatioe of the mirage of th; metropolis bad been fully coosideced. The corporation was prayed to meat the parish of St. James and the Mbar metropolitan parishes in this matter, as it was coasideed that the result would be to relieve the parishioners from the exceesive amount of taxation to which they were at present subjected to carry out the operations of the Metro politan Board ofW orks. Mr. Mgowtri moved that the communication be entered upon the minutes of the court. Agreed to. MUNICIPAL NIGHTS. Mr. Lamm gave notice of the following motion, to be taken into coosideratioe at the next court :—" That this corporation, highly appreciating the municipal institutions which they have enjoyed forgo assay osatariea, and believ ing that the time has arrived when the privileges of self government should be extended to those portions of the metropolis not yet entrusted with the management of their own local affairs, and desiring to aid in the accomplish ment of this result, is prepared to contribute the sum of 5,0004 as the nucleus of a borough feed to each of the parlia ineutary boroughs of Southwark. Westminster. ILerylebose, Lambeth, Finsbury, sod the Tower hamlets, to be = them whim thee, boroughs shall have obtained their c of incorporation under the prorlicme of the Municipal COIN potations Act, 5 and 6 W m.l V., cap. 76." The notios was received with loud chem.. TRI ?HAM CONSERVANCY. The Town Ctxak read an apphoitiot. fmm the Board of Conservancy, asking for the use of the counterparts of lows and other domunssta, to assist them in their pro esedinp with regard to the hill proposed to be brought into parliament having reference to the powers of the corpora tion under the Thames Conmervancy Acta. A desultory conversation took Awe upon this subject, in which the Lord Mayor, Aldermen Rao, Deputy Fry, and some other inkwells! secaliere of the mart took part. The bill appeared to be re gar es ded calculated to inter ferorelsed oaconsiderable extent with the tights and privileges of the corporation of London in dealing with the soil of the river, and the property upon the shores of the river Thames within their juridiction, and a doubt seemed to be enter tained whether the corporation ought to afford the required information. The m►tter was mob:tally referred to the General Por poise Committee. Mr. JOHN Pale= moved that the report of the Offiurs and Clerks' Committee upon the "abject of the office of City Remembrance', and the nature, duties, and emoluments of that office, be speed to. This report, it will be remembered, recommeaded that in future duality of the Remembrance' should be 1,5001. • year, sad that M.r. Tyrrell, the retiring officer, should receive • pwoo. of 7001. per annum. Mr. Haman moved that the retiring allowance cif the late Remembrancer should be 4001. instead of 7001, per annum. He said that Mr. Tyrrell had for more than halls century, according to hie own account, received • salary of 2,2001. • year, and he must have saved a considerable sum of motley, and he considered that 4001. per annum was quits sufficient for • retiring pension. (Hear.) Mr. J. CAUSTON said in his opinion he was not entitled to any pension at all. The widows and other relatives of sub ordinate officers who bad only received small salaries con stantly applied to that court for usistance, when they were left 'dulcet destitute, and they were refused, and he consi dered it monstrous that a man who bad received such • large salary for so many run, and who wee notoriously • rich man, should have • retiring pension of 7001. • year. (Hear.) Mr. RODKIN supported the amendment, which was eventei nue and carried by • yen - - ly put ._ ,..ed by a very lane majority. Upon this amendment being pet an an original make, CaotrroN moved that no Teti:hog allowance whatever granted by the court. _ _ ildermanltoec expressed his hope that the amendment of the hoe. member would not be agreed to, as it could not be looked upon in any other light than as a direct vote of censere upon an officer who had been more than half a ass twy in the service of the oorporation. The amendment was, however, put and carried almost unanimously. A proposition by Mr. PHILIPPS, that a piece of } t n ate the value of 500 f., should be presented to the late brancar, was also negatived, and the report, thus amended, was agreed to, with mom alight modifications as to the duties of the office suggested by Deputy Fry. TIMIS IN MC CIYT or LONDON. Mr. BLOY►IhLD BUN/ALL pre notice of a motion for the next court to the effect that the present mode of levying tithes in the City of London wee unjust and oppressive, ►nd that the subject should be referred to a committee with a view to some alterations being nude. The court shortly afterwards adjourned. THE CHARING-CROSB RAlLWAY.—Yestertlay Cap tain Tyler, it. E., the government inspector of railway; ac companied by Mr. liawkshaw, the engineer of the line, sod a numerous staff of officials, iospected the permaneot way mid works of this line, and tested the bride over the Thames. They arrived oe the ground about 11 o'clock. Pour locomotives and a train of trucks loaded with railway bar iron and gravel steamed on to the four lines of tail OIS the Surrey side of the Thames, and pulled up over the tint span, meting fora tenth of time thereon, the weight thus applied being equivalent to a ton per foot on each line of rails—the total weight of each train being 154 tons, making the angregate pressore load applied to the satire span amount to 616 tons. The same pro cess was applied in succession to the other four spans, up to that on the Middlesex side, the losds being shifted alternately backwards and forwards, sod then left stationary until all the opens with their girders, which are 154 feet in the clear, were fully tested, the average result being a deflexion of only three-quarters of an loch in the centre, the piers of the bridge remaining rigid, and the weight sustained being twice as great as the bridge in all probability will ever be called upon to boar. The deflexion of the aces girder, was also at the same time ascertained, the result being a deflexion el 3-38 the of ao inch in the centre, with the load distributed. The tame is considered to be as satisfactory as it was severe. The stations, signals, and permanent way were also inspested. Another experi mental trip will be made by the government inspector before he reports the einem of the lies fee public use. It is intended to be opened is time for the Christmas traffic. THE INCENDIARY FIRES IN YORKBILIRE—Auotber incendiary fire has occurred on the Wolda in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This makes the seventh fire In the stockyards of the district within the present year—three of them taking place a one eight, a few weeks ago. Amongst the farmers great alarm prevails, arising from this wanton and wholesale &drastic" of their moduce. After the three recent fires, a reward of lOW. for the apprehension of the incendiaries was offered, but they have hitherto escaped de tection. If no better swam hereafter attend the efforts of the police, it is said the fanners intend to form an establishment of bloodhounds to traek the malicious destroy en of their property, and give greater security to the die lila. —Leeds Mercury. _ [Advertisement. j--HouowAy's Pala.—No Die trust.—Pubile ofAlliou Veal in so feeble or uncertain voice concerning the merits of thes• PI M for mil Mg the blood, regulating the action of different organs and strengthening Use human body generally.

The plaintiff was a shipowner, of Lime-street, London, and the defendants inerchsals, aiming ma Modem at LirerpooL In 1862 the plaintiff had a brig called the John Brooks, of 180 tons burden, which be sent to the river Boozy, on the west oust of Ahica, with a of rods designed to a pesos aimed Ward. At thmouth of the river the ship got On thebruksreand slipped her anchor. The captain west ,shore, leaving the mate wi board, for the pur pose of leaking sasistaece to get her off. He communicated with Wsrd, who promised to provide him w ith some native mikes ; but instead of doing en he went off himself accom panied by several mu. took posseenoo of the ship, which he declared had been abandoned by the master and crew, and claimed her ar salvor, an act which Mr. Lush, in his open ing statement, declared to he almost piratical. Ward sold the vessel by auction for 27E4 the purchaser being Captain Peter Thompson, the agent of the defeedents, at Bonny, in whose possession it still continued. The ship cod the plaintiff about 8001., and he claimed not only that sum, but also the ken he had sustained by her improper detention by this ..defendants. It was, however, speed that in the event of the verdict being for the plaintiff, the exact amount of dumps should be ascer tained by another tribunal. A correspondence between the defendants and Thompson was put in to show that they had adopted his purchase of the brig. In some subsequent letters the defendants dis claimed any interest in the vessel, and intimated that Cap tain Thompson wee willing to gin her up on being repaid the money he had given for her. The principal ground of defence wits that the defendants did not authorise Captain Thompson to buy the ruse!, and that they had never acknowledged his purchase of her in their behalf. 111tanately the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, but leave was given to move thecourt above on certain points of law. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Doc. 10. (Before the Jodie Ordinary.) XING V. KING AND DINT.—DPECIAL JURY. After our report left yesterday, Elizabeth Malcolm (who was sworn is the manner cos totnary amongst Scotch oweesaten) was nurse to the re spondent, sad stated that in Nov., 1868, she went with her master and mistress to Bath. Mr. Dent met them at the railway station. Mr. and Mn. King stayed at Mrs. Gingers. Mr. Dent Game constantly to see the respondent, and she was always out with him. He left Bath a few days before Mr. and Mrs. King. When the family returned to London, Mr. Dent again met them at the station. Mr. King had busi ngss to attend to, and went into the City every day. He returned about six o'clock. Mr. Dent came tomes her, and she herself was always out. Told her at last that it was not proper to be out so mush. She made no particular an swer. While they were lodging in Sloane-street Mr. Dent need to be at the house all day; but he gene rally left before Mr. a King returned. Had known him go away just before Mr. came home, and return to dinner. One day witness occasion to go into the beck drawing-room. Her hand being full, she pushed the door open with her foot. The door would not open because there was a chair against it. Heard some on. hurriedly sit down. Pushed the door quite open enough to get past, and found Mrs. King sitting on the chair, and Mr. Duet elud ing ekes to her. Had known her come up-stairs and com pletely change her under-clothing. Mr. Dent did not allow himself when any one called at the house. Then was a email room into which he would go ,- and Mrs. King had given • general order that no one should be allowed to come into the house while Mr. Dent was there. Mr. King after wards removed to Hsu-place, and Mr. Dent visited daily in the same way. Left the service in April, 1869. Had heard the doors locked, and sometime afterwards unlocked again, while Mr. Dent was with Mrs. King. Was fre quently with her in 1861, but never saw Mr. Dent at her lodgings at that Woo She once complained to sitesss of her size. Told her that if Mr. King had been in England, she should have said that she woe is the family-way. She merely laughed. In the following December witness called at her lodgings, and beard Mr. Dent's voice. Mrs. King 'posed the folding doors and threw a roll of paper into the bed-room where witness was sitting with the servant Smith. Mrs. King then bolted the folding-doors ; there was a silence for some time, and thee the respondent' began to convene again. By Dr. Spinks—There was • general order not to admit anyone while Mr. Dent was in the house ; and Mrs. King generally told witness every day not to forget it. The occasion when somebody came, and the co-respondent popped into the water-closet, was before the order not to admit anybody had been given. By Mr. Coleridge—The day station pushed the door open we the fuel time that Mrs. King had come upstairs alone. Mr. King had previously canied her up ; but that day she walked up three time in the space of an hour. She said nothing, but she looked very " condemned." Jane Smith, soother servant of the parties, gave evidence of a similar character. She had once heard Mr. Dent my to the r es pondent , " Good morniog, my dock," and kiss her. Before Mr. King left England for Shanghai) Mrs. King had gone to Weymouth for the benefit of her health. Mr. Dent came to the hotel where she was stopping, and called him self Captain Denman. They went out together the next day to take lodgings for the respoodent. One night she sent witness to bed before Mr. Dent bad gonea way. The next morning she came to witness, and told her that she had Wise nervous at sleeping the previous night on the ground floor alone that Mr. Dent had stayed with her ; she desired witness, therefore, Joist up and make haste out, in order that she might tell the servants she had unfastened the doors. She also bade her to leave them unfastened, that the co-respondent might go away. Mr. Guerin, a gentleman living in Sussex, deposed that he had made the acquaintance of the parties at Memo. In 1862 Mrs. King was staying at his house. One day a gentle man visitor who was looking over her book of photographs recognised the portrait of Mr. Dent. She asked him what he knew of him ? He replied that Mr. Dent was living in the same square, Wellington-square, Chelsea. He also told her that he was marned, or that, at any rate, there was a person who pared es Mn. Dent. Mrs. King was very much excited by the intelligeeee, and begged the gentleman to take her up to London that night. She accordingly went up to town. When witness saw her again she told him that Dent had deserted her, and bad given her up. She asked witness to communicate with her f needs, and tell them to make inquiries about her at various places she named. Her idea was that if her hus band divorced her she might be married to Dent. or at all events the thing would be brought to a crisis. At fine re fused, but ultimately consented. Was afterwards sent for to her lodgings and found her very ill. She said she had taken poison, and there was a strong smell of chloroform in the room. Fetched a doctor. Af terwarde saw the co-respondent. Told him that he was a blackguard to seduce another man's wife, especially as she had been left in his charge since she was a child. He admitted that he was a great blackguard, "a blackguard," he said. (Laughter.) I asked him if he intended to do anything for her, and whether he would not marry her. The co-respondent replied he would certainly do something for her, but as for marrying her, he " would ea soon be in hell at once." (Laughter.) He went, at witness's request, to see her, and he took her some flowers. The following letter, written by the respondent to the petiteower at Shangbas, wee also put in : - - 2, Leagbain -place, Portland-place, May 25, 1862, Sunday. " Charlie,—Dare I ask your forgiveness, having so craelly wronged you by giving to another all that gentle love sod devotedness which should and could have bees your own foe ever. I did not wrong you willingly, or without bitter tears and deep remorse long fat. But I will spare him even though be has ruined and forsaken me, sad forgive him as I hope to be forgiven.

IR RE GIORGI FREDERICK CHURCH._ The bankrupt wan • aho►manufactorer, of Giitspur• street, in • large way of business. This was the adjourned siftin& for discharge. The accounts, prepared by Mews. Hart *other. and Ha lee, show liabilities of 27,1841.; assets estimated at 3,5001., of which upwards of 2.000/. bare been realised. The deficiency of 23,5241. is explained to the extent of 14,8001. by liabilities on bill ; Wises, 4,9761. ; and expenses, 4,9301. Yr. Dowse, for the magus% did not oppose. The cue bad been pending some tiny and the bankrupt had woad his examiastlos in October last. A favourable feature in the case was that there were assets of nearly 2,0004 in cash. Mr. R. Reed and Mr. Brougb supported the bankrupt ; Mr. H. Linklater opposed for three creditors, Mess. °Gabler aad Co., Mr. Matthews, sod Messrs. 13.11 and Co. The CominialiourWhatis the amount of his liabilities? ;bat halt of that amount will never !teed-27,000 1. c0me against the estate. Mr. Gardiner, the official assi's clerk, stated that there was now leg than 1,0001. in hand. The proofs against the estate were 18,0001. or 20,000 1 . , and the dividend would not mowed 10d. in the pound. Mr. Lisklatar said that the complaint of the creditors was that the bankrupt bed traded on fictitious capital, had coo traded debts without probable mesas of payment, and had kept imperfect books. The bankrupt, in conjunction with a person named Moors, bad put in circulation accommoda tion bile to the extent of 5,0001. Within three months of his bankruptcy he had made purchases to the extent of 2,2611. Besinaing in Jaenag, 1861, with a surplus of 1361., he ended, in December, 1862, with a deficiency of 23,5001. Mr. Gardiner said that the gross profits on the two years' trading were 3,0004 only, while the expenses were 10 0001. Mr. Linklater maid that on an investigation of the bank rupt's aid" it appeared that bills to the amount of 2,0001. were omitted from his books. _ _ . The Bankrupt examined, said he began to do Imminent with Mr. Moore, • leather merchant and shoe manufacturer, in 1861. He sold him leather, and purchased shoes of him. Their transactioes had bees quite 8,0001. or 9,0001. He had given Moore his acceptances to meet other bills which were overdue. Those bills represented value • there wen others to the extent of 4,0001. or 5,0001. whic h did not. In October, November, end December, 1862, he had bought to the amount of 3,3621. Had made permeate to a much larger amount than that. Some of the bin were sot entered is his broke, be muse he never expected to pay them. One of his hooks had been lost, a small rough cash-book. Be bad been in business four and a half years. Had taken stock in January, 1862, but had not given up that document to the assignees. It showed that he bad about 171. in the pound on debts of 7,0001. but all the bills were not debited then. The ut most of his deficiency then would be about 5,0001. The further deficiency of 18,5001. had been incurred between January and November, 1862. By M. Reed—His NUS in two yews bed been upwards of 52,0001., it might be 60,0001. or 70,0001. Ilia payments in the mime time had been 50,0001. to 55,0001. The failure of Moore, with whom he had dealt largely, had led to his difficulties. Be then placid himself is the hands of hie principal creditors and made an assignment ; but Mr. Bell made his bankrupt. His estate bad yielded 1,8001., end then might be 1,0001. more from the consignments ; everything depended on the market.. Mr. Reed contended that there wee no evidence of the bankrupt being unable to pay the particular debts of the opposing creditor , for he had already paid them the amount of those debts several times over in former treosactioos. His Honour said he should not grant the order until two years from the date of the adjudication. Mr. Reed gave notice of his intention to appeal. IN RE WALTON AND WALTON.-DIVIDEND. The bankrupts were ship and insurance brokers, of Grace church-street. The failure occurred in 1858, the joiut liabili ties being upwards of 50,0001. There have been two previous dividends, amounting only to 61d. in the pound. A sum of 2,0110/. is now in the hands of Mr. Canaan, the official assignee, the case being under the old act ; and it is expected that this will yield a further dividend of about Is. in the pound. (Before Mr. Commissioner Coulburn.) PROCRZEMNOB *GAUNT A MEMBER OF PAELIAMEST. Mr. Chidley appeared on behalf of a mernb3r of parlia ment, against whom a judgment debtor summons had been issued. The matter came before the court a month ago, when it was adjourned in order that application might be made to a judge of one of the superior courts, to set aside the ca. se. It now appeared that this had been done, on the ground of privilege. Mr. De Gex appeared for the creditor, and stated that the parties were engaged in a discussion which might pre vent the necessity of his Honour hearing the case. It was stated that the debt was 6501. It was afterwards announced that the summons was aban dotted. and no order was made. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-DERBV, Dec. 10. THE WIGWRI.I. MURDER. At ten minutes to two the Grand Jury returned • true bill against George Victor Townley for murder. Is the course of the day the grand jury ignored the bill against James Clifford, of Bhardlow, Derby■hire, who was charged with stealing, in or about the year 1804, one leaf from the register of the parish of Longford. containing ea entry of the baptism of William, sou of Mary Tallow, of liendey, dated the Bth November, 1727, the property of the then incumbent and churchwardens of the said parish of Longford. William Smith was charged with burglariously breaking and ecteriog the dwelling-house of Francis Green Good win, and stealing therefrom one coat, two shirts, two handkerchiefs and one telescope, the property of Captain Goodwin. . . . . . . Yr. Huuth prcwecuted, prisoner being undefended. Prisoner, in defence, said he had been in London. and was making his way to Wigwell to see the grave of his wife, who bad been buried in his absence from home. He was old, and could hardly get there. He then went from Wigwell to Helper, and after being there two days, he met a men in the street who asked him to purchase the anklet. He bought them for 10e. He had no friend, and was per fectly destitute, bat innocent of the robbery. He had no means to get any defence, and could not call any witnesses. He was in his lordship's bands, and it mattered little what was done with him since bas time was short. (Prisoner is 79 years of age.) His Lordship summed up with his usual clearness and minuteness. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Prisoner also pleaded guilty to a previous conviction. His Lordship—Are you really 79? Prisoner—On the Ist of June next I am. Sentence deferred. WESTERN CIRCIIIT.—EIETRR, Dec. 10. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) ALLEGID NUADEX. James Sierens,• man of colour, 50 years of age, and de scribed as a pugilist, was indicted for the wilful murder of John Mears, at Teigabridgo, near Newton Abbot, oo the 14th of August last ; and Join Burke, a labourer, 27 years of age, was charged with haring aided and abetted in the mid murder. Mr. trold;worth and Mr. M. Bare were counsel for the gemecution ; and the Khmers were defended by Mr. Carter. The deceased, John Mean, wasa labourer 'arbor( at the Hovey Tracy Potteries, situate about five or six miles from Newton Abbot, in South Devon. He was about thirty-one years of age, and was somewhat under the middle size. It was Newton Abbot moss on the 13th end 14th of August last, and on the former day the deceased left his lodgings to go to the mom. He was seen on the ram-course by various parties on the at terooon of the second day ; but he never re turned to hi■ lodgings. No particular search appeared to have been made for him ; and it was not until more tams a week after—the 21st of August—that he was again seen. On thatday a gentleman out otter hunting near the nOB-come saw a body lying in a pool under one of the arches of a viaduct which ran along an old and unfrequented road. It was taken out and conveyed to the lithos hotel, adjoining, where it wan identified se the body of John Mears. His face bore Eiger of rough treatment, and be had evidently received some blows on the bead. The medical gentlemen who made the post-mortem examisation found a little extraverted blood between the scalp and the skull, but their summation led them to the belief that death had not resulted from the blows but from suffocation caused by drowning. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of wilful murder evilest some parties was returned. The Secretary of State was oommuoicated with, and be offend a reward for the morietion of the parties. Thus the matter rested until the 21st of Septem ber—a month after the finding of the body—and then a boy named George Pike, a chimney-sweep, made some commu nication to the housekeeper at Stover-home, the police were appriesd of the substiusoe a/ it by the ►oy's grand father, and the prisionen were apprehended a day or two after at Exeter. The boy Pike's evidence was in sabstance as follows : —That he was at the Newton races on both days, and paid frequent visits to a boxing booth which Stevens bad on the course. Os the evening at the second day be saw the deceased is the booth ; and after talking with Stevens sad Burke (who was also there) for some time, Mean pat on the gloves and bad a agar with Stevens. During the round Mean gave the prisoner a blow on the shoulder, which ap. ;seared to have somewhat nettled Stevens, who told Mean if he wanted to fight be was to follow him. The pair went out together to the old Exeter-road, Burke accompanying them. The boy Pike followed. Stevens and Mears fought for some time. and Barks urged his companion to " pitch it into him" (deceased), and to hit him behind the ear. Stevens did so, and the doomed fell ; be threw up his arms, and did not again move. Stevens then took Mean up endear. ried to the bridge near, i r ut the body on the parapet, and swung the body over the e into the water below. The coloured man immediately let, and Baste, turning to the boy Pike, gave him a penny. tailing him not to say anything about it, and promising half the reward if any were offered. For the • it was contended that the eviclesos of the boy Pike was not to be relied oa. as he was known to be given to lying; and several witnesses were celled to prove an alibi. The prisoners were Acqiitted. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.--Cazsris, Dcc. 9. (Moire Mr. Justko Willis.) TIM OTOOEPOIT POII3OKING CABs. . --- Alice Hewitt, a li as Holt, was again *lied at the bar on the charge of poisoning her mother, Mary Beam, at Stockport. Medical evidence was given to the effect that the symp toms of the deceased's illness were coesiatent with poisoning by arsenic, and also to show that on a postmortem exami nation and analysis arsenic was found in large quantities. Mr. Swetenham, for the defence, urged that the case was entirely one of circumstantial evidence, and no thing more than one of strong suspicion. They were asked to believe that while with on. hared the prisoner fondled sod caressed her mother, with the other she administered a deadly poison to her, and calmly looked on her dying agonise. Did the prisoner's conduct warrant that conclusion ? The charge was that, being poor, the prisoner had insured her mother's life, end, in eager haste to clutch the money, poisoned her nearest relative. He commented on the evidence of the withares for the praiscutior, especially the contradictory evidence of Bailey and his wife. The whole story of the pork pies, be sub mitted, was an after-thought of Ann Bailey's. Mr. Ray nor's evidence showed that deceased was ill and vomiting the day before the pia were bought. If the prisoner was administering slow poison to her mother, was it probable she would have actually gone and applied for • medical order at the union'. When the pri soner said she was glad of her mother's d . r.1 . % that was not in accordance with the reserve which characterise a murderess, nor did it agree with Ann Ryan's evidence, which proved that the prisoner wept bitterly on bearing of her mother's death. Again, not • word was said by Ann Bayley before the coroner about the prisoner Wilgto give her • black dress on the death of Mary l i ehe would personate her mother before the insurame agents and the doctor. With regard to the brandy, in which it was alleged arsenic had been administered, he would ask them to believe that the sediment was some ground root which the prisoner had put in through kindness. Had blue arsenic, coloured according to law, been put in, the sediment would have been blue, notgingercolour. Thearsenic purchased by the prisoner on the 25th was used in "dogging" the rooms ; and might not some of the volatile poison have got into the mouth of deceased and been swallowed. No doubt the cause of death was poison, but was it absorbed by the body, and if not, was there any proof that the prisoner admink. tered it Deceased, before she died, drank largely of milk. and might not that milk have been put in the jug in which the amok was dissolved before sprinkling the door, and that only through carelessness ? If arsenic was found in the creek of • teacup, as was alleged by the prosecution, how much the more readily could such a thing ioccurred. His Lordship, in summing up, said there were two questions for the jury to consider. First, of what did Mary Bailey die • Drat, who caused her death. The first question was answer ed: by the medical evidence. The next was for their coosideratioo. They must be perfectly satisfied that the circumstances of the case were consistent with the guilt of the prisoner. His lordship then recapitulated the evidence, and remarked upon the practice of assurance allow accepting insurances on lives in which the proposers had no interest. The jury retired. and at about 20 minutes' deliberation returned • verdict of Guilty. On hearing the verdict the prisoner fainted. His Lordship assumed the black cap, and Famed sentence of death in the usual form. THE EXTRAORDINARY NAIL BAG ROBBERY IN YORKSHIRE. At the York Andrea, on Wednesday, Maria Cooke, 32, was indicted for having en the 25th of September, at South Cave, stolen out of a post letter beg two orders, one for the payment of 28/. 45., sod the other for the payment of 35/. On the morning after the robbery, a merchants clerk, named Douglas Mackintosh, met with the prisoner in Whitefriargate, Hull. She went up to him and tithed to get • cheque cashed for her. She produced an envelope with a cheque in it, and after a little conversation he con muted to take it. He asked the prisoner where the bank was, and she said "The Yorkshire Banking Company, corner of Parliament-strost." Mackintosh went to that bank with the cheque, which was for 281., and it was drawn by Thomas Jackson. as North Shields, upon the National Provincial Bank of England at Shields. On presenting the cheque to the bank clerk, he refused to cash it, and Mackin tosh gave the cheque back to the prisoner. He also pointed her out to two bank clerks who had followed him, and she went into the bank with them. As her explanations were unsatisfactory, she was conducted to the police-station in Parliamentat•eee. and on her dress being searched, another cheque for 35/. was found. On being asked where she bad got the 28/. cheque from, she said a tall gentleman had given it her in a second-class railway carriage as she was coming from Heade the night before by last train. Shortly afterwards a superintendent of police arrived from South Cave, bringing intelligence that the mail-bag had bees stolen from the post-office at that place on the previous evening, and that the bag contained, amongst other letters, one in which cheques were enclosed, amounting altogether to 747/. 17s. 9d., the letter enclosing the cheques being addressed to the Yorkshire Banking Company, Beverley. The prisoner weir then formally charged with the robbery. Evidence was given to show that on the evening of the day on which the robbery was committed the prisoner rode in a third-clam carriage from Ferriley Station, and that during the journey it was not observed that anything wee given to the prisoner, and that if there had been it must have been seen. The mail bag containing the cheques had been stolen from the home of Mr. Wm. Anson, post master, South Cave. He kept • grocer's shop as well as post-office, and he placed the bag on the counter so as to be ready by the time the mail cart mime up. Mrs. Anson remained with the bag for some minutes, and then left the shop for a short time. When she returned she found the bag was gam. It was discovered coo the following morn ing EM) yards from the post-office, on the road to Brough, with only three or four loose pipers io the bag. On the evening of the robbery, some evidence was given to show that • person like the priioner was in the neighbourhood of the post-office at the time of the robbery. For the defence it was stated that on the night in question, the prisoner was coming from Hanle to Hull, when these two cheques were given to her by a man in the railway carriage. The jury, after having been absent nearly half an hour, found the prisoner guilty.—His lordship mid he believed the evidence had not only satisfied the jury, but every one who had heard that evidence. It was of great im portance to preserve the integrity of the post-office, but there was a mitigating circumstance in favour of the prisoner. She had the opportnuity of taking or destroying the other cheques, but she sent them eafely to their destination, re taining only two. That appeared to him to mitigate her Case very much, it resolved itself into • PM of steal ing these two aquas, which to her had been unproductive, and no loss had been entailed on anyone. The prisoner was then sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

There are more inquiries and more offers, but these are so much below what even the most sanguine stapler would expect, that business to often prevented. Halfbeeds and down wools are steady, but lustros may be had at Ws. per pack lower. There is little or nothing doing in worsted yarns. The export houses are doing next to nothing, and the home merchants are operating to • viet, limited extent. Silk spinners are pretty well employed, and are generally firm in their demands, though under cir cumetances are disposed to yield a trifling CODCOStion. The market in pieces has been quiet today ; but, notwithstand ing the absence of any kind of animation, excepting in some special classes of goods, there is on the whole • fair amount of business doing. The home merchants are never very anxious to increase their stocks about this time of the year. The American houses are not placing many new orders at present, and the German merchants exercise great caution, owiag to the Danish question being still unsettled. Prices are somewhat firmer than last week.
