This inscolvi:Ot, atint;;;(11;le; was opposed by Mr. Ni chols, and supposted by Mr Sar;ood. An objection was taken to the Talidity of the petition on the ground th.it there were payments within three montlis, which were nut in the ordinary course of business, and as the application was mode under the Protection Act, the pe tition could not be sustained. It appear.' that the insa:vt iit bad borrowed money of his sister Sarah Raids'', which he expended in his business and had made payments to her within three months of the protection. Mr. Nichols submitted that the payments did not come within the aeptions set forth in the petition ; they were not in the ordinary course of h.s trade. Mr. Sargoosi said he could not conceive how payments could be iu the coarse of trade, it the payments to the sister were aut. The money was Obtained for the purposes of trade and afterwards paid. Mr. CAnotissioner l'aillips was of opinion that matey b,rrowed, altbyigh used is trade and afterwards repaid, did not come within the eaceptions of the petition—they were not payments in the course of business.

No protection was gives. and permission was given to apply in two months. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. YESTERDAY. John ('anon sad Aseresefeu WOWS surrendered to take their trial upon ea iadistat•nt charging them with obtaining mosey by false Retains, and conspiracy. It appeared hem the evidence of this prosecutor, a Mr. didward Howell, that 1a August of last year he was deair ems of lying into besieges as a publican, and in conse quence of an advertisemeat be saw is one of the morning papers, he went to the oaks of the defendant Wynn, who' to act as a public-Wiese broker, in Sidney-street, riry str -gteed, in reference to it, and the defendant gave him was of two public-houses, one the Red Lion, in Wild street, sad the other the Golden Horse, in Theobald's-road. The latter represented that the house was " doing" 701. per Reath, that the rent and taxes did not exceed 431 per annum, and that it had sleets, of tea years and a half, and that the coming is would nut exceed 1631. Think ing that this house would suit him, he went to lee it. The defendaat end Paxton, who was the landlord, told him that he had got a lease of the property, and believing the representations that were made, he went again to the other defendant's office, and, after a little association, he consented to give 154 i. for the home, and paid 201. deposit. A few days after this all the parties met at the house, and the matter was Madly cow:sided by his paying over the balance, and upon this Remakes the lease was produced. It appeared that the prosecutor was desirous, in the first instance, to have his own broker to act for him in the transfer, but Wynn told him Viet he could act as broker for both, and that it would save expense if he did so, and he consented that he should act on his behalf. When the lease was pro deiced Wynn handed it to the prosecutor and asked him whether he would read it himself, or whether he should read it to 1 am, sad as he had known him for four years, and believeo him to be a respectable man, he did not enter- tam say suspicion, sad he told him he Reit read the lease to hies, and he did so; but, according to the positive statement of the prosecutor, he omitted to read ono of the prwisems is the lease by which the lemon res:rve the riglft to determine the lease at Christmas of any year by giving six months' notice at the preceding Midsummer quarter, so that in point of fact, although the lease wee nominally for ten years and a half, in reality by this proviso the tenantyr was rendered nothing more than ea aaasal one. The prosecutor was then let late pomerion ' sad he very soon discovered that the basi sem fell very fez short of what it had been represented, and in wansequenee of some communications that were sub sequestly made to him, be instituted inquiries, the result of which was that he aseertathed the actual character of the Rao, sad also that ROAR to quit had been served upon Paxton at Iffiffreeffeeee e and the prceeeator was re snared to give ti pm of the gas at Christauts. Upon these faillthe hod preferred the prosiest indictment against the dednedeela fir übtaining the along he had paid, by falsely melodies that he would be ua possession of the house in quires UMW a valid lease for ten years and • half, vibes, as be alleged, they were well aware that no such term was seesred by the lease, but that on the con trary Faxon knew that he was under notice to quit. Upon Ming cross-azamined, the prosecutor admitted that Wyun did read something about a power of giving notice to quit at Midsummer, but he declared that he did not read the whole of the proviso, and that he was quite ignorant of his being liable to be turned oat at any time by a six maths' notice haus( given. He also said he was in formed that Paxton gave more for the house than he did himself, and that when he applied to him upon the subject of the draw, and told him that it was a failure and a humbug, he said that it was a rascally lease, and he ad mitted that lie had received notice to quit the hones at Christmas, but said that he had been told by one 01 the parties who Lad greeted the lease that he need not take notice of it. The prosecutor also said that the lease was laid upon the table, sad he had every oppert2 a : ii read- Sig it afforded him bid ha ad not do so, se ise sew !donee in the &haunt Wyss, and did net he would deceive h tn. It also appeared that epee the isesseator takime pueseasioa, ea agreement was draws up which be signed, and this agreement was not produced. The prose cutor likewise stated that he did not pada the charge against tie defendants before a magistrate, bet by the advice of his solicitor he presented a bill to the tread Jury, and the defendants were now under trial tepee their finding the pre , , ut indictment. Some other evidence of an immaterial character having been given, Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Robinson severally addressed the be the defeadeati. sevent witnesses were called, who gave both the defen dants ea excellent character. The jury, after deliberating far about half an hour, re turned a verdict of Guilty against both defendants, but recommended them to mercy. The Recorder isquireel opal what ground ? The jury said they were of opinion that more evidence might have been produced in support of the prosecution. The Recorder said that this was rather the ground for an acquittal Lien a recommendation to mercy, and the jury had better reconsider the matter. The jury accordingly again deliberated is the box • short time, aadevaitsally retired, and after being abeam nearly an hoar thy again came into court with a verdict of Oki/fp. Mr. Reed applied for the expeases of the prosecution. The Recorder said he would not grant the application without conaideratioa. If the defendant* had been sequined, he certainly should not have allowed any ex penses, as ha was determined to do all is his power to Ca dmus.. the proceeding of ;preferring charges behind the beaks of the parties accused, and under the circumstances of the prciect eau he should consider *hither the expenses ought to be allowed. Sentence was postponed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-MTEZDAY. The January General Quarter Session of the Pesos for the county of Middles.' commenced this morning, at the flessions-Muse, Cierkenwell, before Mr. fierimet Adams, mustant-jalge, and • bench of Magistrate,. TM number of prisoners for tri l is 80,-66 for felony, and 14 far 'Made- INMOST. The assistant-judge blielly addressed the grand Jur7- ./1119011 White Hinds and Ezra Hinds, brethen, were placed at the bar to receive judgment. At the last session at Clerkenwell, the ant-named pri mmer pleaded pally to an indictment charging him with dealing watches and other article, to the value of 1101., the promrty of his master, Mr. Jackson, watch eamufaatuer, Bed Lion-street, Clerkenwell-green, sad the ether, a horse dealer at Lutes, Bedfordshire, was found 'silty of Mviag felunioesly received some of the property. Judg ment was deferred, to enable tne former prisms, to make discloser's to hie mailer as to the property which had not bees recovered. Inspector Brennan said that he went to the prison, put met to his iiistructims, and obtained from Jame" Binds certain information whisk he cornmmicated to the prose cutor. The prisoner dashed to see the shop-books, is order to refresh his smitory with reference to some of the gaming property, bet he (the inspector) was not aware what had been setweemetly done by Mr. Jackson. The prosecutor said be had not as yet recovered any of his property. The primmer appeared very willing to give a/1 the information he maid, but he did not recollect very well, sad therefore there had been sense diMculty. laspectbr Bitumen wished to say that the prisoner, James, attnbeted his present position to the realm manner in whiab the pawnbroker received the property—in a manner (he salt) which no other person in the trade would have done. The prisoners said also that the pawnbroker would be ashamed to produce some :if the property on account of the unflaohed stale it was in. The prosecutor said, in answer to the court, that although three weeks had elapsed since the trial, he had no t d o ne anything towards recovering his kriperty. Tie Assistant-Judge said the cue was this . the prose cutor wined as perfectly ignuraat of his concerns u any man we►t (vela be, and he had as one of his servanu James Whita.Hiads, who was a great rogue, and robbed him to • great 'strut. He took the plunder to a pawnbroker, who received it in a state which no honest pawnbroker did. That sanest had a brother, Es•a, in the country, who had bola prorisady ocamictsd, sad he reeeive. eons of the property and sold it ; and since his conviction, James had done his best to enable his master to recover back the rest of the art i cles ; but for that circumstance he should have sentenced them to transportation, but he did not think they ought now to be held answerable for the pro.e tutor's not having token steps in the matter. He the sentenced each of them to ens year's hard labour. Guis,ppt , Luigi Lie tiro, 53, an intelligent and respect able looking moo, was indicted fur having stolen nine sove reigns, the monies of Charles Oath, id his dwelling-house. It appeared that the prosecutor, a tradesman in Mancu so:den, casually met the prisoner, a countryman of his, an Italian, and tindina him to be clever, intelligent, said • man of education. he exerted himself on his behalf, and gave him letters of recommendation to various parties as a teacher of two or three languages. He employed him to teach Mrs. Galli, An Englishwoman, Italian, and ou the 13th of last month he went as usual to give her a lesson. Mr. Galli had occasion to go to an iron safe in the room where the prisoner was, and having procured what he wanted, he left, without tak.ng the key out of the safe door. Mrs. Galli was called out of the rooia shortly afterwards by her servant, and on returning she saw through a glass door the prisoner withdraw Lis hand from the safe, and put some thing in hie pocket. She was so agitated that as her hus band had gone into the city, and had not returned, she did not accuse him of having done anything wrong, but told him she could not continue the lesson, and he lett. When her husband returned she told him what she had seta, and on his examining the safe found that nine sovereigns had been taken from 30 which were wrapped op in a 101. note. The ' note bad been tarn open and the sovereigns scattered about. On the following morning the prisoner, as anal, came to give Mrs. Galli a lemon, and on being charged with the offence, he said he had only taken 54., not W., and that Mr. Galli owed him the former amount in reference to some business transactions, and they therefore soald settle it be tween them. He had never made any claim before. When asked why he had taken the money, he implored forgive ness of Mr. Gelb, and assured Mrs. Galli that he had done it through distress. Mrs. Oalli said the prisoner had represented that he war in distress; had he done so she would have been glad to have asaisted The prosecutor said, in craw-examination, that he had, up to thus transaction, considered the prisoner a man of in tegrity. The prisoner had stated to him that he was a soli eitor ; and, as he found him to be a clever man, he seat him Ito Turin to do some business there for him. He furnished him with a sum of money and gave him a letter of credit on h s agent, and found that he was faithful to his trust. He did not owe him anything that he knew of. Mr. Metcalfe said the theft was committed no doubt in a moment of temptation—it could not have been designed; and the opportunity was given by Mr. Galli's leaving the key in the safe. The evideuce war too clear to be resisted. The jury found the prisoner fiwilty, with a recommen dation to mercy, in which the prosecutor joined. The Assistant-Judge, after some little consideration, sen tenced the prisoner to 4 months' hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. John 8/anklsorn,de;cribed as• farmer, at present re siding at 53, Mount-street, Lambeth, was charged with uttering a forged cheque for 101. Francis Millard, assistant to Moons. 8. 8. and J. W. Benson, the ewellers, in Ludgate-bill, said that the pri. inner catered his employers' shop on Saturday evening, shortly after seven o'clock, and selected • gold watch and gold chain, of the value of 61. 16s. The prisoner asked witness if he minded taking a cheque. Winton said it was not customary to do so after banking hours ; but, if the prisoner would call again in half an hour, he would send out in the interim for change ; and, if he obtained it, he would let the prisoner have the watch and ekes. The prisoner gave witness a cheque for 101., drawn in the name of " Henry Stoate and Co." on the Lambeth lateme of the " Royal British Bank," and made payable ton Ms. soli. Witness then sent the shopboy ia • sib le Mr. &Gate (who is • respectable upholsterer, carrying is Wei nes in premises adjoining the bank in qstestisk in She I Westminster-road), and ascertained that the awes was not the same used by Mr. Stoats, neither wee the in that geatleman's handwriting. The pekoes/VT; return ; but about an hour after, the whom Ss go to the door, saw the prisoner steadies is Giwt efrthe house nest door, and be , tkoned him in, haviagg previously instructed the bay to fetch • policeman. The prisoner said that be received the cheque from Mr. Stoats on Satur day, after hankie; hours ; but, on being told it was a forgery, he said if it was • forged cheque he knew nothing about it, as be received it in a betting transaction ; but he did not say from whom. Mr. Wood said the prisoner was a highly respectable farmer, and, being engaged in extensive betting transac tions, and other gambling matters of a similar nature, he bad received the cheque in psymeat of • bet, and tarl uttered it without being aware of its not being • genuine document. The uncle of the prisoner was in court, who would state what he thought would be • complete answer to the ease. Sir Peter Laurie inquired it the uncle had any account at the Royal British Bank. The Uncle said he had not, but his son had, and the cheque-book used by him was accessible to none but him• self. The prisoner bad been staying with him sine, the tenorsl of the late Hake of Wellington, and could not have been in want of mosey, as be had property of his dwn, upon which he was living. Sir Peter Laurie said the number on the cheque was OK and it would not therefore be difficult to ascertain from t►e Royal British Bank, who had the book from which the cheque had been abstracted. It was a great tempta tion to young men of the present generation to lead them selves to crimes of this description, who flattered them selves with the idea that, if detected, they could escape, by one of the numerous vessels always in the port of Liver pool, to Australia, and make their fortunes at the diggings. However, in the present case, respectability was no justifi cation of forgery. The prisoner was then remanded, an application to bail him beiag peremptorily refused. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1853. WORSHIP-STREET. A well-deemed micleirti 7 siTsclithe,;;Aised George Moors, was .barged with an unprovoked and violist assault sport Mary Anne Wade, a deacate-looking married woman, in an advanced state of pregnancy. The complainant, who appeared greatly agitated, and ethibited signs of acute personal suffering, stated that her husband was a person in comfortable circumstances, but for a considerable period they had unfortunately lived upon very unhappy terms, and he had recently abandoned her altogether, leaving her with four childron of tender age, without the slightest means of subsistence. After 'edam, the severest prtvatioas and distress, she at tenth resolved information that her husband bad formed • connindea with aaother woman, with whom he had taken up hie madam at a house occupied by the prisoner, in Everts's-build ings, Eiborediteh, to which ohs proceeded to seek en interview with him on eatheday evening, sad, not wishing to subject him to needless exposers, she =gently upon the shutters of the parlour , in the hope of attracting his attention. Slt• had ao sooner done so, than the street door was hastily opened, and the prisoner =shed oat, sad, without uttering • word, seized her by the throat, and forced her beck to the end of the street with sash noires% that ale eoald scarcely preserve her footing. Oa ap pea ling to NNW of the by standers for protection, the pr ison er conunemeed kicking her in an unmerciful manner, and ultimately dealt her such a savage kick on the stomach, that she fell back in • state of partial insensibility, and was supported In the arms of some persons in the crowd, until a cab was pururd , in which she was conveyed to her reeidease. She bad been ever since confined to - her bed, and still remained In aunt- Mating pain, from the effects of the ill-treatment she bad sustained, and which was calculated to lead to results of a more serious nature, as she was on the eve of her confine ment. _ Sarah Bette, a young married woman, fully corroborated the complainant's evidence, and stated, that on commencing the attack upon her, the prisoner deliberately protruded his foot below the lower part of her dress, and kicked her underneath her clothes. Police-constable fr 28 stated that, having been attracted by cries of murder, he hastened to the spot, where he found the complainant in such a helpplless and *Whoring condition thecae was unable to stad witat assistance, and the pri soner haying besa pointed out as her assailant, he at one. took him into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner distend that his conduct on the °cession h ad been greatly exaggerated by the witnesses, u he had merely endeavoured to drive the woman from his door, where she was creating a disturb ance, and without heels' kicked or maltreated her in the manner they had described. Mr. Hammill said that the prisoner had committed • met brutal outrage, and it was only in consideration for the delicate state of the complainant's health, and the pro bability that her husband would exercise his influence to Mdw her to relinquish the prosecution, that he abstained how sending the case for trial. He should order the pri soner, however, to pay the full penalty of of., or to be com mitted in default for two months to the House of CUM lion. SOUTHWARK, JoAn Blokes, the geise7reffs hardware shop in Rent street, was charged with violently assaulting and threaten : ing to murder Harriet, his wife. The complainant, who had a sickly-looking infant in her' arms, on ascending the witnem-box, exhibited ample proof of the -.-tolence exercised towards her, both her eyes being blackened and swollen, sad her arms, from the vitiate up wards, being in a similar condition. Bhe stated that on Monday morning, at an early hour, while in bed, the de fendant beat her about the head, face, and arms. She got out of bed in coder to escape, but he again attacked her and !racked her violently on the body. ' She added that he was in the frequent habit of beating her in a very unmerciful manner, and that she was not aware of having given any came for • his acting with such brutality towards her. She handed in a medical certificate, which described the senora effete on her health produced by the blows and kicks inflicted on her person. Mr. Samuel Gawner, landlord of the Royal Oak, next door to the defendant's house, stated that on the morning iu question he was alarmed by hearing cries proceed from the defendant's house. He knew the noise to be that of the complainant, who exclaimed, " help, help for Ood.. sake." He immediately ran into the house sad saw the defendant knock down his wife, and while she was lying at his feet he threatened to kill her, using at the same time language of the most gross an d indecent de scription. The witness added that he heard the defendant say, in the presence of a Mr. Denham, that he had thrown his wife down stairs on three different occasions. Witness on hearing such an admission, said that it was a very serious thing to treat any woman is sash a brutal manner, upon which the defendant, who .versed to here relented, said, is allusion to his wife, that she was one of the best of wins, and that in future be should not illus. her. In answer to the charge the defendant said that his wife aggravated him by her bad temper, and that she lad assaulted him before he laid hand■ upon her. Re added that in the heat of passion he might have used thr,ats towards her, but that he had no intention of seriously injuring her. Mr. Salomon said that the defendant on a formes occa sion bad been held to bail to keep the peace against his wife for three months, but that the time not having yet expired, be had therefore forfeited his recogniuncee. Mr. Alieekett having in strong terms denounced the conduct of the defendant, infteted the full penalty of 51 upon him, and adjudged him to enter into recognizance. to keep the peace. GREENWICH. Mary Ann Oldham, late a nurse in the union work house, was finally examined charged with perpetrating an act of deliberate cruelty upon a child six jean of age. The leading features of the ease were published yesterday in the Express. The woman, it was then stated, hail compelled the child to hold a piece of live charcoal in its hand until it was cold. The muscular contraction which ha.. taken place renders it doublul whetbecithe poor child will ever recover the use of its hand. THE PROSPEROUS STATE OF TRADE. THE WOOL TRADE. Messrs. Grams and Co.'s circular, dated Liverpool, Jan. 1, says; The general course of the wool trade during the past twelve months has been highly satisfactory; the year opened with moderate stocks and a steady demand fur all descriptions, and although there was little tendency to any material advance in prices during the first three months, atter that period a decided improvement was manifest—the German fairs opened very briskly at advanced rites, and our own growers being in a better position than for some time past, took advantage of the brightened prospects of the trade and raised their expectation accordingly for the home clip, for which very high rates were paid • at the public wool sales which took place in London in May and June, a decided advance of fully 2d.per lb. was established:on echoing wools, with a proportionate advance on other descriptions; this improvement, with but ter y little intermission, has continued op to the present period, and the year closes with a ..ry active demand for all descriptions of wool, with stocks quite inadequate to the very large consumption now going on in the manufacturing districts. Th e i m p or t s appear to have been fully an average of former years, but from the increased activity in the manufacturing districts, and consequent demand for wools, oar market has been left very bare of stocks all the year, so mach so as to cause an impression that the consumption is overtaking the supply, and even should there be no further improvement in prices, there is every appearance that the present advanced rates will be maintained for some time to come. The condition of the wool trade throughout the United Kingdom is in • very healthy and flourishing condition, and although the prices of yarns and manufactured goods have not at all times kept pace with the advance in the raw material, still • good and profitable business has on the whole characterised the home trade for the past year. Public sales took place here on the 22nd and 23rd ultimo, when 6,009 bales were brought forward, consisting of 2,394 East India, 1,463 Chili and Peru, 696 Egyptian, Turkey, dte., 181 Spunk Frontier and Liaison, eke., 33.5 Buenos Ayres, and sundries; there was a good attendance of buyers, and the greatest part was sold at prices fully supporting the late advanced rates, luring the market again very barely supplied with wools Awitr Ilan and Cape of Good Hope.—lt was generally expected in the early part of the semen that we should hive a considerable deficiency in the supplies this year from these colonies. The extraordinary, and we may almost say fabulous accounts of the discoveries of gold and the im mense tide of emigration of all classes which had conse quently set in for the favoured districts, had, it was thought, sassed each an extra demand for labour is a market already barely supplied, as to render it doubtful whether a good part of the wool could be shorn and prepared for the market; we are glad, however, to note that these ham have been exaggerated, for although we have not this season the large increase which we have had for several years past (averaging two to three millions of juncede annually), yet the imports this semen en vats meg end a little in excess of last. The Awe swim et sales l of this season's clip was brought forwent hi May and June, consisting of 30,879 bales, which were bought up eagerly by the trade, at as advance of twopence per pound on previous rates ; in July 66,446 bales were offered, when from the large queen* brought Arward and the absence of any active foreign eampentien there was a slight reaction in prices; this was, however, fully recovered, and a further improvement realised in the sales of October and November, when 61,071 bales were sold. The prospects for the trade are encouraging, and it is generally expected that the lut sales of the season, which will take place the latter end of this month, or in February, will go off at a further improvement in prices. We have an Bunn, supply from the Cape; these wools have commanded the usual attention and present rates Rust be highly satisfac tory to importers. East India wools have been in very good request all the year, and, notwithstanding the large imports, 21,189 bales, against 12,478 bales last year, thy have been bought up eagerly on arrival, and with gradually improving prices, particularly for the better kinds, both white and yellow, for which there has been an active demand for export to Francs and Belgium.' These wools appear to increase in favour with our manufacturers every year, and we may expect present rates to be well supported for some time to eosse—no stocks in the market, the whole of the late im ports having bean sold at the auction sales of the 22ad and 2fird ult. Oerman.—lmports continue to be very limited; the large consumption now going on for their own manufactures hoe tended to keep up prices in that quarter sad discouraged exports to this oonß stocks of all sons, assorted and Mrwise, are tutus light. Spanish and Port —Spanish sad Sae frontier wools have been in good request throughout the year, and in these classes the advance is most decided; Aleutijo, par` titularly the line qualities, have also esomoanded great at lantic. ; Oporto and Cutelbraneo have bee. In short sup ply, although in good demand ; the quotaticos of the foram shew an advance of 2d. per lb., and the market for some time has been quite hare. Peruvian and Alpaca.—From the great demand and high rates paid for America and the Continent for Penman sheep's wool we have again bad but a short supply, par ticularly of fine washed doseriptions, which have been smelt sought for and commanded extreme priest; One unwashed merino has also been in mach request, and fully partici pated in the late whence. The receipts of alpaca 611 rather short of 1851; it has been It active dernartohrough. out the year, is still eagerly sought for even at the ad vanced retell, and extreme quotations an paid for favoura ble proportions of colours : the market quite bare. llediterranean.—There has been • very large business done for America and the Enoch markets which has kept plias too high for our manufacturers until the late ad vent* ; this has been the means of curtailing Imports to this etnintry, and stocks of nearly all descriptions have been vary limited throughout the year. Egyptian has com manded even • greater share of favour than usual, and the high rates now ruling must be very encouraging to im porters; the condition and selection of these wools show much improvement on knew non, and, if proper care continue to be taken, it will doubtless continue a great fanarite with on! manufacturers. Of this wool we have had a fair supply, but of other Sorts, Basch, llerßia, Scopis, Vidino, Smyrna, &c., we have had very limited imports, and the market at present is entirely without stock. la mohair a large business has bean done at steadily advancing prices. Romian.—Donakoi fleece, lamb, and autumns, have been in good request, particularly long combing fleece, which has commanded active competition and reeled extreme rates. Of fine scoured Menno we have had but • very small supply. These sorts are much wanted, and would sell readily at high prices, as well es Brook-washed, of which the market is also quite bare. Yetis and Zegai also in good request, but no stock. &ewe Ayres show • comid" erable increase in the im ports, notwithstanding the internal dissensions in that country. Good clean Merino flocks, pretty free from bun, have met with a uniform ready sale at good prices ; but inferior and burry flocks have been neglected, and not realised proportionate rates. The ambit very barely sup plied, and prospects favourable for the miming year. _ . British and Irish.—We have had an active demand all the year, with gradually improving prices. The stocks in the growers' hands are at present unusually light, and they are generally holding for a further improvement in prices, which, if the present active consumption goes on, our manufacturers will be obliged to submit to. THE OIL TRADE. Wilms, Rose, Oraham, circular says :—" Lon don, Jen. 3, 1853. In reviewing our markets for the past year, it is pleasing to notice a marked increase in the con sumption of most articles which interest us, and prices in many instances have advanced 20 to 25 per cerit., even of those where the importation or production have been un usually large; the abundance and low rate of money in• dining speculative transactions have doubtless materially assisted in thus enhancing the value of goods, still, on re • brew to comparative statements, it will be found thst we begin this with stocks below an average of previous years, proving a marked and legitimate increase in the trade of the country ; we may therefore look forward with waft deuce to a brisk spring trade, unless the excessive specula tion now going on in various projects attains such a height as to derange cur money market?' THE INDIA AND CHINA TRADE. Ile vie the Chi•ese and Australian markets, Messrs. Tootal and Browne in their circular, dated London, January 1, 1843, say : •• In preventing our usual monthly circular, we would take the opportunity of its being our first issue for the new year, to make a short review of commercial mitten for the put twelve months. We believe that we may confi dently assert, never were twelve months passed under such • high state of prosperity by all classes, and whether this has been occasioned by • recent legislation,' or the extraor dinary development of the mineral resources of various parts of the world, which, attracting our surplus popula tion, finding them the means of wealth and employment, has also produced • greater demand than ever heretofore existed, and by this means contributed to raise prices, in creme wages, and make all classes prosperous and contented certain it is that never did a year close on such unparalleled prosperity, or a new one open with such brilliant prospects. Extending now our view to those markets in which we are mostly interested, it is with pleasure we are enabled to I make the following remarks. Calcutta is at length roasour imp from its long &premien, and this market, se suasively orentockad, and returning such suareenuneratiag prises in the early part of the year, several fa lures occurring and confidence shaken, is now showing signs of real improve ment, with stocks considerably decreased, and there being but moderate supplies in the way, we expect to see this market one of the most encouraging to shippers through out the ensuing year. Madre, has laboured under severe depression throughout the year. Shipments have been made far exceeding the requirements of the market, and unless supplies are very limited for some time to come, we cannot look for improvement. Bombay. This market has exhibited a considerable degree of activity throughout the year, and, though • market somewhat limited, is one well worth the attention of shippers. Singa pore has generally been • remunerating market throughout the year ; but the prices to be obtained in this market arc so dependent upon the demand from the neighbouring markets and provinces as to make it very uncertain. It is, however, a market we can strongly recommend to the no tice of our friends. Batavia has been a market strongly depressed throughout the year, but is now showing some signs of improvement. China : The markets in china, both for imports and exports, have been exceedingly active throughout the year, and A larger business been done in both branches of trade t h e in any former period. Cape of Good Hope, Algoa Bey, and Natal: Owing to the circumstance of the Kaffir war, the business iu these' parts has not been so large or satisfactory as it otherwise would have been. The extension of steam intercourse with these parts, and Cape Town being the principal place of call for all steamers going this route to India and Australia, must ultimately be very beneficial. The Australian colo- nies have undoubtedly attracted more attention during the past year than any other part of the globe. The extraor dinary development of mineral riches, which have far eclipsed California, have attracted thousands from our shores; land markets, which hitherto have been very limited in extent, aro now so increased that all pre. sent supplies have been inadequate to the demand. What the result of this will be it is yet ins. ;risible to tell. The raw article is increased in demand owing to the increased demand for the material; the great Increase for the material and employment of capital in these parts, will materially lessen supplies to other markets, and cause higher prices to rule in consequence in them; it seems inevitable, therefore, that with increasing wealth and decreasing labour, a universal rise in price will gradually extend itself all over the world. The wool crop for the last year exceeds its predecessor, and we fear that that circumstance has too much allayed the anxiety that was then shown to secure the usual supplies of this neces sary article to our manufacturers; we shad shortly be re milling this season's crop, and can we expect it to be equal to theasst? We fear we must answer in the negative. Thousands of sheep have perished of neglect ; thousands have been slaughtered ; and will shearers be found to clip thou there an ? The matter is one of the most serious con eideration, and should not be overlooked. The establishment of steam and regular mail communication to the colonies is an event which must not pass unnoticed, though its benefits have been but little so far, from inexperience; we :rust, however, a better state of things in this respect is before us. San Francisco continues to improve and pros per. Trade has been flourishing throughout the year ; and though former extreme prices have not been obtained, articles well selected have always paid well. There is, perhaps, no market better worth attention, at the same time so disastrous to shipments made, without reference to the actual wants and requirements of the market. We shall be at all times happy to furnish the fullest informa tines to parties desirous of shipping through as to any of the foregoing markets; and trusting our expectations may be fully realised for the year we hay* entered upon." THE TRADE IN SHIPS. The following is Messrs. Tonge, Curry sad Co.'s circular, dated Liverpool, January 1, 1863 In conformity with our usual custom at this season, we have the Assume to band you our annual statement of the basin's done in the sale of ships at this port for the year past, and onus occasion have we been able to report so favourably-both of the amount of tieing" sold, and the prices that have been ob tained. In one of our recent circulars, we took occasion to state, that a period of unusual prosperity in the shipping interest of this country might shortly be looked for, and most fully have our anticipations been realised ; prices of colonial ships having advanced fully 17 per cent. since then, and with • continuing ten dency upwards ; while Stocks have been reduced to 48 sail against 76 in 1862, and 82 in 1861, without any im mediate supplies being expected. We have great pleasure in noticing a marked improvement both in the model, ma terial, and finish of Canadian ships, the majority of which have been constructed to clue six or seven years; and to which a decided preference is given by buyers over the Spruce ships, or those glassing but four or Ave years, even at • very increased price. Among those that have arrived withia the last eight months will be found ease as fine models of naval architecture as ever have been produced, combining in reality (from having great length of floor and fins ends) both carrying and sailing qualities of no or dinary kind. This advance in prices we do not Men to apply so mach to British-built vessels, for though a larger business has been done in them this year than last, we cannot advise much, if any, in crease in price. Our quotations for 18.32, therefore, remain unaltered. New colonial ships, to elan seven years A 1, must be quoted at 84 16s. to 81.10 s. per ten ; these classing ail years A 1, at 61. to 71. 10s. ; five years, 61. 10s. to 71. 81. John's, hlinunichi, and Quebec build, to class four years, are worth from U. to 61. per ton ,• those built at the lower ports of same class are worth from U. 10e. to 61. 10s. per ton. Lep second-hand ships, with or without class, have also been In much demand, in anticipation of an advance in cotton and timber freights. The enormous emigration to Australia has mainly contributed to this advance, besides which freights generally are very much better fur the larger class of ships. Within the last two months, sev Ind small craft, varying from 180 to 280 tons register, and of light draft of water, which enables them to go direct to the port of dis charge, have been purchased for the Australian trade, at full prices. This prosperous state of things, we believe, will continue for twelve months-or it may be somewhat longer -when, perhaps, it is setae° much to expect scans means will have been found for freeing a large number echoes ships that are now lying unmanned and incapable, at the various Australian ports, amounting, by the last returns, to 200 sad, equal to about 110,000 tons, and which, when freed, will return upon our market about the same time the large fleet of colonial ships now is the course of con struction will have found their way here, and which bear a proportion of five to three, over those built in 1862, and five to four in 1861. The number of new vessels that have come into Liverpool within the year, and sold is 120, equal to 60,000 tons. The number of ships launched sad is the ovum of construction in our port, this year, is 39, com puted at 16,000 tons, against 23, computed at 9,200 in 1861. The number of steamers built and in the course of construction here, amount to 13, equal to 4,060 tons. The number of foreign vessels that have changed hands in Liverpool, since the passing of the new Marine Act in 18.50, end registered by British owners, amount to 11, equal to 6,000 tons. ,As regards iron-built railing vessels, the most remarkable feature of our trade is the very increasing favour they are growing into, and which are now occupy ing the builders both here, in the Clyde, Newcastle, and elsewhere, to an unprecedented extent. There is no doubt but if some anti-funling composition were discovered which, while it would keep the bottom clean, would also preserve the iron-its use would, in a very great degree, for the merchant service, be preferred to wood for ship-build iag the cost of a first-rate iron and wood-built ship being solnewhat in favour of the former, and which may be quoted at 141. 10s. to 161. per ton, complete for sea. The sales for 1862 of British, colonial, and foreign ships, amount to 286 sail, of which 281 aro British and colonial, against 234 in 185 1 and 214 in 1850, and the total tonnage to 147,471 against 90,764 tons in 1861, and 81,028 toss in 1950, of which number and tonnage of vessels including strainers supposed to have changed bands in Liverpool in 1862, 425-198,000 tons.

SUDDEN DEATH OP SIR CHARLES WAGER WAT sox.—We have this week the melancholy task of recording the death of the above gentleman, under circumstances of a most painful character. It appears that on the morning of Thursday Sir Charles appeared in his usual health and spirits at the Plumbers' Arms, Denston, to meet the Suffolk fox hounds. About two o'clock he was riding at a tolerably brisk rate by the side of Mr. Stanlake Bauon, when sud denly be appeared to reel upon his horse and fell off. Several gentlemen in the field came to his assistance, but it was found he had breathed his last. It was at first thought that he had been thrown from his horse, but the testimony of the medical men goes to prose that he was seised with • fit. The unfortunate gentleman, who served the office of high sheriff a few years ago, has left a large family to mourn over their sudden bereavement—Qin bridge Chronicle. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—APPREHENSION OP TILE P•artzs.--On Wednesday last a miller, named M'Neille, in the employment of Messrs. Swain and Holton, was at tacked on the bridge of Annegb, within • few yards of the mill, and about two miles from Athlone, by two men, who knocked him down and beat him most cruelly. M'Neille cried for mercy, and implored the ruffians to spare his life, whereupon one of them raised him up and swore him to leave his employment, and never enter the mill again. Having taken the oath, he was again set upon and beaten until he was senseless and left for dead upon the road. The unhappy man's life, however, has been saved. He was dis covered on the road in • bruised and bleeding state, and conveyed into town. Information was given to the police, when Sub-Constables Ward and Wl:towels arrested two men, named White and Keegan, upon suspicion, and who have since been identified by M'Neille as the perpetrators of the outrage. White, it appears, had some relatives in the mill to whom M'Neille was obnoxious, and who wished to get rid of him in the manner described. Much credit is due to the constables fur the tact and promptitude with which they arrested these offenders.-IVeafesst/A /Is dependent. THE RAMSHAY INQUIRY.—We understand the Lords of the Treasury have agreed to pay the whole of the expenses (within about 1601.) of the recent inquiry at Preston into the conduct of the late judge of the Liverpool County Court.—Lieepool Mercury. SILL—The subjoined is extracted from the circular issued by Meson. H. N'aithman & Co.:—ln the silk market there has been active business during the part month. China silk.—The arrivals have been upwards of 4,900 baler; a considerable portion of the Tsatlees, and almost all the Taysrams have found buyers at steady, and in some in stances slightly improved, prices. Bengal slik.—The corner qualities continue current at full prices ; but the finer qua lities are more neglected, from the dfilculty that continues in getting them worked. Italian silk is without alteration, and the transactions in it have been very limited. Brussa silk.—The imports for the month were 138 bales; the coarse and ordinary qualities were sold on arrival, at a alight ad vance on previous prices ; the finer descriptions were nearly all exported. Persian silk. —A fresh arrival of 400 ballots found buyers at very full prices; some for export, but the greater part for home consumption. Oa reviewing the state of the silk trade during the past year it is gratifying to observe that its position has been one of general prosperity, with steady prices and but little fluctuation. The chief feature to notice is the great in crease in the consumption of China and Bengal silk, the deliveries of ,he former being 23,445 bales, et an average of 1051 be. each, 2,461,7251b5. ; and of the latter 11,652 bales, at an ge of 1451 be. each, 1,689,5401b*. against 20,690 I bales and 8,600 bales, or 2,172,4501b5., and 1,247,0001b5. in 18,11; and the large falling off in the imports of Italian silk, abut 750 bales, at an average of 2501b5. each, 187,5001b1., or nearly one-fourth of the imports of the preceding year, showing, after deducting decrease in the imports of Ita lians, an increased consumption of about 550,0001b5. weight of silk. This has been caused by the good state of trade on the continent, and coasequent high prices that have ruled there, which has not only kept Italian silk from this mar ket, but has led to considerable exports of Bengal and China silk in the raw and thrown state, both to France and Germany, and must have materially assisted in keeping up prices here. COTTON.—LIvraPooL, JAN. 3.—The sales to-day are estimated at 5,000 bales, and comprise 250 Fenian and Maranham, at qd. to 60. ; 200 Egyptian, at 6id to 10d. ; 500 Surat, at 30. to 4ed. The market is a dull and steady one, and prices are little changed since Friday. Import+ since Thursday, 15,000 bales. CATTLE -D . (N PP ONSIIIRE) FAIR, Jan. 3.—The supply of keeping stock at this fair ta-day was unusually short, though the condition was good, time of year considered. The demand for store Beasts of all ages and breeds was brisk, the late high prices being easily ob tained, the advance being from 4ils. triode. in 12r. more than last year. The Sheep trade was brisk fur those off gra velly soils, at late prices. But buyers were cautious, and bought very sparingly those from wet heavy land, fearing the rot will be very prevalent among them in the spring from the wetness of the season, their wool being scarcely ever dry. Cows for dairy purposes wero in good demand, but sellers to effect sales wore obliged to submit to lower figures. The Horse trade was in an active state for all young animals at very high prices. Store Pigs improved both in prices and demand. Small Calves for suckling or weaning went np from 3s. to 4s. each. Ltvaieoor., Jsx. 3.—Ml descriptions of stock have sold well at market this monung. Beef, prime heifer, 51d. to 51d. ; mutton, best, 6d. to 61d. ; second class, Sid. to Gd. Nozwicx, Jan. I.—Being the commencement of the new year, we may observe that the number of Beasts and Sheep of a ll abide was quite equal to the demand ; still prices remain firm, with a good prospect for the future, keep being so abundant, combined with a firmness in the corn market. Good store Pigs, 161. to 20s. per head. Fat Pork, 51. 9d. to 6s. 3d. per stone. Wonnute FAIR, Jan. I.—The supply at this fair to-day was not; sufficient to meet the demand, conse quently many buyers were unable to purchase according to their requirements, which caused trade to be brisk. The best descriptions of store Beasts of all breeds were bought up without delay, prices in every instance ruling in favour of sellers. The same may be said of the middling and inferior class of animals, trade being good and all sold. Of Sheep the supply was unusually short, and the quality far from good, yet from the number of buyers trade was active, and late prices fully sustained. A moderate supply of milch and in-Calf Cows; the trade in them being dull, at a decline of 211 s. to 301. per bead ; the topping prices for the best Yorkshire bred being 181. Store Pigs in good de mand, and prices improving. Suckling Calves, 18s. to 21s. each.

CHARGE OF MURDER.—A person of the name of John Carnegie, a crofter at &ruhall, in the parish of Mary kirk, has been committed to prison at Stonehaven, under a sharp of murder. The victim is said to have been his hotherfa-law, who is thought, from the doctor's report, to have bees bled to death. There was a severe wound in the 1 1 bask of the deceased's head, and his skull was fractured. Tk• body was for a abort time buried before any suspicio n were entertained, and, when taken up, it was found to be destitute of a drop of blood. The cause of the murder is not known. It is said that, in consequence of one of the medical men being about to leave this country for Aus tralia, Carnegie is to be tried in Edinburgh i n a f ew wee k s. -NorM of Scotland Gavotte. TER ELSECAE COLLIERY EEPLOSIOIL-REPORT OF TEI OOVERNMINT INOPECTOR,—ELSECAR. SATUR. DAY.—At the adjourned investigation by the coroner into the cause of this lamentable explosion, by which eight per sons were suddenly hurried into eternity, and another has since died, several of the workmen were examined, and their evidence disclosed a laxity of discipline and disobe dience of orders in the management which it is most im portant should be immediately remedied. Every precau tion appears to bare been taken by Mr. Biram, Earl Fits william's manager, in providing for the safe working of the pit; but for want of some official supervision of those entrusted with the execution of those orders and regula tions, many of the most important had become a dead l e tt er . This was the ease with respect to the safety lamps which the men were required to use, and any tampering with which was visited with an immediate discharge. All the men knew this; but as the pit was frequently left without overlookers, some of the men embraced these opportunities to remove the top from their lamps, and work with the naked flame. To this cause the explosion was attributable ; for after it had taken place, three lamps were found In the banks where it was the most severe, which had been tampered with in this manner. Mr. Charles Morton, one of her Majesty's inspectors of mines, having on Thursday gone through the workings in ' company with Mr. Biram and other colliery managers, stated in his evidence before the coroner his opinion that the explosion was caused by the leaving open of a trap door in the long south hoard-gate, by which • quantity of gas was allowed to accumulate, and when the door was afterwards closed this gas was carried forward along the north side of the board-gate into a bank, where a man, named Stanton, who was killed by the explosion, was im properly working with his lamp top off, and at the flame of whose lamp the gas fired. Mr. John T. Woodhouse, of Overlord, Leicestershire; Mr. T. D. Jeffeock, of Sheffield ; and Mr. E. C. Webster, of 'Ryland, colliery-viewers, who accompanied Mr. Morton in the examination of th e pit, concurred with him as to the cause of the explosion, and in various suggestions he had made in respect to the manage meta. As the boy Linley, on whom the blame rests of having left open the trap-door, was stated by the surgeon to be unfit to be brought before the jury for examination, the inquest was further adjourned until Thursday next, when it is expected to close. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—Another fatal ac cident, we regret to say, took place on Thursday, at the Upper Soundwell Colliery, about four miles from Bristol, by which an unfortunate man, named Green, lost his life. It appears that on the day in question the unfortunate col lier, John Green, was at work clearing rubbish from the crock under the coalhouse. He had loaded the bucket with rubbish, and it had ascended a short distance up the shaft, when the rope—a three cord flat one—broke at the upper end, near the engine. The rope, in its descent down the shaft, coiled round and fell upon the unfortunate man's head, in which position he remained for a short time alive, as another man, named Cook, who was also in that part of the pit, conversed with him, and said, " I wish I hail • light ;" upon which Green replied, " It would be no use to hue a light to a dead man." Cook fortunately escaped, but his unhappy companion perished. He remained under the rope, the weight of which was upwards of two tons, for upward,' of eight hours before he could be extricated, but his death must have ensued very shortly after the accident.
