This natorbas cus was a g al;ir;i g it63fOi;ihe court for n adjourned'esamioatioa sitting. Ile is described as of 40, Bryanitone-square, and of Waltham-villas, Brampton. He owes to unsecured creditors 9,03 d. ;liabilities, 16,0061. Against these the creditors hold bills or bonds given by the bankrupt on some property which he expected to become possessed of. It is rid that some of the creditors have taken proceedings in the courts of Scotland, where the property es situate, with a view to enforce payment of their bills or bonds ; bat the trustees under the will of the bankrupt's father defended the actions, on the ground that the bankrupt's rights were forfeited by his iosolveocy ; and the Scotch courts' held that the creditors were not entitled to recover. Mr. Nicholson opposed for Mr. Tozer, Mr. Taylor, and other creditors. . . . . . . . ia - nkrupt,;xamioed, said he was insolvent in 1853; hie debts were then 14,5001. His expenditure had been 2,5001. a year for the last two years, u near as he could tell. He had no income but expectation. He believed he should come into a large estate under his father's will at the age of thirty. He was not certain of it. He was now prat 30. He expected to come into possession still. He had purchased nos horses of Mr. Wane, but had not them now. Mr. Dawson had one of them himself. Its name was Mountain Dew. Dawson held it as security for keep and training expenses,. Never had any shares in the Commercial Discount Company. It was proposed to give hint some shares, but be did not - know what became of them. Did not pay anything for the shares. He had a picture from Mr. Treadwell, as a present. As it was of no value, he had not given it up. He had banked at the London and West minster Bank. St James'irsquare. Had not given up his nrabook. It was some time ago—in 1860—and he had lost the book. He might have drawn cheques in 1861. He closed the amount when he had no more money left there. (A laugh.) He thought it was in the autumn of 1861. Would not swear he had not drawn cheques in 1862 ; he thought the last was at the latter end of 1861. He ga ve his yearbook to • Mr. Williams, who was the agent of Mr. Treadwell, and negotiated some bills behind his back. He had a cheque-book, but seldom used it. He almost always wrote his cheques on blank paper. Had given a bill of sale to one Hargraves, for three race horses, Inheritress, Mountain Dew, and Sister to Horace. Had no consideration for that bill of sale ; Hargraves gave him nothing for the horses. Had given up the bill of sale to the assignees. Had given an acceptance to one Adams for 5001. without consideration. The name to Jack son. He had no interest in land beyond that under his father's will. Had not inserted Taylor and Tozer in his balance-sheet as creditors. Had never seen them. He supposed they were "innocent holders." (Laughter.) From Charles Maraud, who held his bonds and bills for2,oool..kehad no consideration. They were given to lawns in 1860. Blorhain, of Waterloo-place, held brads for 1,0004, without consideration. Some of the trannetioes had taken place 6ve yeah ago. Many of the items appeared in his accounts without dates. His Honour said these dates must be supplied. Mr. Sargood, for the bankrupt, said he had fallen into the hands of persons who were ready to trade on his inexpe rience, and to help him in putting in circulation vast quan tities ci bills sod bonds. He was utterly unable to furnish the dates required. Mr. Chidley, who represented the assignees, mid they were ready to amid the bankrupt by furnishing him with all the date' in their posesesion. He would also be required to furnish a copy of his father's will. The Oommiesioner said it was also ancestral that he should produce a copy of his banking account, which might be obtained from the bank. An adjournment was then ordered to the 18th February. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) =ID KR OP OMAN 13 TER OL2ee•IJI lOLD. Mary Sea Connor, a di;iiiaied looking woman, residing at 2, Fox-court, Gray's-ion-lase, wan placed at the her for re-examination charged with attempting to murder Catherine Walters by striking her on the head with a poker. Mr. Beard attended for the prisoner. Police-constable William Feint, 454 A, mid that the injured woman,. who was over sixty years of age, wee now recovering, and would shortly be able to attend and give evidence. According to the evidence of a witness, the prisoner was drunk when she struck the complainant. He had received the following medical certi ficate yesterday from the surgeon attending her :—" Bar tholomew's Hospital, Jan. 9.—1 do hereby certify that Catherine Walters, admitted on December 20 on account of • lacerated wound on the scalp, is now oonvalesceet, and will be discharged from this hospital in a few dep.—Bower= Joint VERNON." A witness stated th►t she did not think that the com• plainset would ever be wall any more. Whilst she bad been in the hospital she had bean twice given over by the stir. roma and for some days she was lying there in an insensible state. Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner again for the attesdanee of the injured woman. The prisoner, who treated the matter with the realest indifference, and who has before been charged at this court with amanita, was then removed. I'H.A.IILES. ♦ BURGLARY IN A BTORII. Jan rani, a dirty-looking f 4ai4 - 0, ind desalting himself as a traveller, of Charles-street, •law, was charged with feloniously and burglariously breaking and entering the shop of Mr. Frederick Starling, boot and shoe maker, of No. 5, Waterloo-terrace, Commercial-road East, and stealing therefrom seven pairs of boots, valued at 4/. 10s. It aPpeered that on the stormy night of the Ist instant one of the shutters in front of the prosecutor's shop was removed by the application of groat force, and prized up, and shoved over another shutter. A pane of glees was broken ' and all the boots on the window board within reach token away. Stimpeoe, an experiemed po sergeant, 21 bad no doubt the burglart and robbery were e ff ected by skilled " crseksmen. On the afternoon of the 2nd instant a woman pawned two new boots, a portion of those stoleo at the shop of Mr. Wood, • pawnbroker, in Highetreet, Shadwell. Mr. Wood advanced 6s. on the boo ts, and took them in as a pair. They proved to be two boots. The prisoner come to Mr. Wood's shop yesterday to redeem the boote, and on presenting the duplicate relat ing to them he was detained mid given into Stimpoon's custody. He was asked by Stimpson where he WU on the night of the Ist instant, and he replied at home, in Charlee-strest, Drury-lap.. Martin, 441 K, saw the prisoner at 4 o'clock in the morning of the 2nd instant in a door way two doors from Mr. Starling's house, and be appeared to be sheltering himself. Directly afterwards the prisoner left his sheltering place, and walked fifty yards towards soother doorway, near to White Horsogate, and then sheltered himself again. Martin was informed by an inhabitant • few minutes afterwards that the breaking of glue had been heard, and in the course of the same morn mg it was discovered that Mr. Starling's shop had been plundered and • pane of glare broken. Inspector Alison said there was • fearful storm on the night of the led and morning of the 2nd instant, and the min came down in torrents. It was • favourable night for the operations of burglars. There bad been four or five other similar mad burglary in the district, where abutters had been removed. The primmer was remanded until Wednesday.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1863. THE BANK FORGERIES-(THIE DAY.) *. -•-- SENTENCE UPON THE BANK NOTE FORGERS. Robert Cummings, 00, who was acquitted on Friday, was this morning again placed at the bar of the Central Criminal Court, before Mr. Justice Blackburn. Sir F. Kelly declined to offer any evidence in rapport of the other charges against him, and verdicts of not guilty were consequently taken. The other prisoners, Bucher, Griffith; Williams, and Burnett were then placed at the bar to receive judgment. Mr. Justice Blackburn, addressing them, said that as regarded the prisoner Griffith., there was a differuce between his case and the others. He bad pleaded guilty to part of the indictment and had been found guilty upon another part, and from the evidence there was no doubt that he had been making a regular trade in forging notes, and he seemed to have been about the only person who bad sufficient skill in making bank notes perfect enough to deceive any ordinary observer, and there was no doubt he bad been so engaged for a considerable time before the robbery of the paper. He was possessed of considerable talent and skill, which, if he had devoted to some honest calling, might have produced greater benefits. The cue was considerably aggravated by the fact that he must have known that be was assisting those who were stealing the oil"from the mill. The fact of his wading those forged notes caused others to be con-' victed, as an innocent person might receive a forged note, and might be tempted, rather than be at a loss, to try and pass it, or persons might innocently tender a note not knowing it to be forged. The crime for which he had been convicted was by the old law punishable by death. The maximum of punishment by the new law, however, which he was about to inflict, was little short of a sentence of death, which was that he should be kept in penal servitude for the term of hill natural life. With regard to Bucher, he said he had been convicted on evidence which was very clear. He appeared to be the one who supplied the money to those who forged the notes, and was the means of potting them into circulation. In this case there was no doubt that he received the stolen bank paper from the prisoner Burnett. His cese, however, was a shade lighter than the last, and he should not pus the maximum punishment, although it would belittle lees than his natural life. He then sentenced him to 25 years' penal servitude. Burnett, he said, had been convicted also on evidence which left no doubt that he had received the paper from Brown, and the others who had stolen it from the mills. His crime was that of receiving stolen property, knowing it to have bean stolen, which, from his having been convicted before, made him liable to penal servitude. His case was a shade less, however, than that of the last-mentione d prisoner, and he should sentence him, therefore, only to twenty years' penal servitude. Al to the other prisoner, Williams, his cue was of a different descrip tion. It was very probable that he was not in any way concerned in putting the forged notes into circulation, and he had received a good character. The sentence upon him therefore would be penal servitude for four years. These prisoners were then removed, and theprisoner Cum mings was placed at the bar. His lordship addressed him, and said there could be no doubt that he bad been con cerned in this great crime, and that he had been engaged • great many years in similar proceedings. Although by the rules of law he had now escaped justice, he thought it right to caution him as to his future conduct, and to state publicly as a warning to him and to others also, that where a number of persons engage themselves in such transactions, although they might be suxessful for a time, some of them were 'unto become treacherous, and detection would * cer tainly follow. He was then ordered to be discharged, and the court ad journed. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. OPENING TO THE PUBLIC.-(THIS DAY.) SHARE LIBTII-(THIS Ain Two dOLom The railway market is rather dull to-day, and where any alteration has occurred in the priors of the leading stocks it has been in the adverse direc tion. London and North Western, Midland, Lan cashire and Yorkshire, and Caledonian have declined 1 per cent., and South Eastern, }. London and North Western stook is now quoted 971 to 98} ; Great Western, 67} to ; Midland, 1291 to ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 109} to 1104 ; Caledonian, 115} to 1; South Eastern, 89} to ; Great Eastern, 46 to } ; Great Northern, 1281 to 129; and London and South Western, 103 to 1.

The funds to-day are rather dull, owing chiefly to the decline in the stock of bullion in the Bank of England and Bank of France. Console are quoted for the aoconnt about 1-16th per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. The dulness extends to the market for English railway stocks, some of which are a fraction lower. Foreign stocks are likewise in less demand. At Paris, this morning (according to Mr. Renter's telegram), the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 70fr. 46c., being 6c. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 93 tot for money, and 931 for the account (Feb. 5). The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent.

The transactions in foreign stocks have been fully equal to the average for a Saturday, but in some cases, including Spanish Passive Bonds and Certifi cates, the Peruvian Loan, and Maremmana Railway Bonds, flatness is observable. Ths Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 841 to 851; that ofblBsB, 71 to 4 ; that of 1862, 674 to 68, ez div. ; the Consolidee, 40/ to 1, showing a fall of 4 ; and Venezuelan scrip, 14 to 11 dis.

Consols are now flatter, at 921 to 93 for money, and 93 to k for the sth Feb., it being rumoured that a considerable amount of gold has been taken from the Bank. An instalment of 10 per cent. falls due on the Russian Loan on Monday next. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. announce that they have received the sum of 2,0601. 9s. 10d. from the custom-house of Ban Josd de Cucuta on account of New Granada dividends. The absence of ad vices from other custom-houses is occasioned by the correspondence not arriving in time for the steamer. The customs revenues generally appear to be in creasing. About 50,000 sovereigns were taken from the Bank yesterday for Alexandria. The Bavaria, from New York, has brought 10 OC3I. for Eugland. The Mexican dollars by the last packet were sold yesterday for China, at 5/1. 30. per ounce, showing an advance of id. The rise is caused by the activity of the demand for China, combined with the small ness of the amount in the market. The exchange on Austria yesterday afternoon was less in favour of that empire. With this excep tion there was scarcely any alteration. The rates were as follows : _...... . -- .... - . WILUNAZY MAUI AND 111'00Z3. ek IP 4 1 RUMAT& iitesylLaLiArr Joao.

The train. consist of three carriage', and daring the day they have been crowded. It was calculated that up to 12 o'clock the number of passengers conveyed had been about 10,000. When the gates of the Farringdon street station were opened, a considerable number of artisans were in waiting to be carried to their work in the neighbourhood of the various stations on the line. It is believed that a good deal of traffic will be got from this source, as the operatives will find it more profitable to pay the low fares charged on the railway than to walk. The traffic is not con fined from end to end of the line. On the contrary, it is well kept up between the intermediate stations. No doubt something mast be allowed for curiosity; but with all abatements the opening is highly satisfactory. The passengers express themselves much pleased with the general comforts and conveniences of the travel log. When the direct communication with the Great Northern is completed, as it in expected to be on the lit of March next, a new and important accession of traffic is confidently anticipated. It is known that several builders are now directing their attention to the expediency of erecting dwellings for the working classes in the suburbs of the metropolis, and in this way one of the philanthropic ideas of the late Mr. Charles Pearson touching the constrection of the great undertaking is likely to be to some extent, realised. It is not unlikely that the pressure of the traffic may compel the directors to run ten minutes trains. The traffic arrangements are under the superinten dence of Mr. Fenton. The banquet was held yesterday in a large room specially erected for the occasion, and adjoining the Farringdon street station. This room was 250 feet long and 50 wide, and constructed to accommodate 700 guests, for which number tickets were issued. It was lined throughout its entire length with red and white cloth, and banners of all nation/ were suspended from the ceiling and side walls. The tends of the City police were in attendance, and as the trains came into the station they struck up some enlivening sire. Amongst those present at the banquet were the chairman of the company, Mr. Wilkinson, who also presided at the dinner ; Lord Harris, the Lord Mayor, ILP., Mr. Lowe, M.P., Mr. W. Wood, M.P., Mr. Anton, M.P., Sir S. X. Pete, M.P., Mr. H. Lewis, M.P., Mr. S. Beale, M.P., Pro faner Owen, Sir Rowland Hill and lady, Colonel Sir J. Hamilton, Bart, Mr. Malin, LP., Mr. Sheriff Jones, Aldermen Sidney, LP., Humphery, Challis, Abbies, Dakin, Wilms, Moon, Carter, Hale, Gibbons, Mr. Soott Ruessll, IL Du Chadic', to. THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S ON SUNDAY EXCIJR SIONE.—The following appears in the Spectator of to-day : "Seeing your remarks on the Memorial of the Bishops on Sunday excursion trains, I think it right, as one of the sub scribers, to state that what you suppose to have been the one object of the memorial, whether desirable or not, did not enter into my view of the matter at all. I never expected that the London churches would be better filled if the Sunday excursion trains were to cease run ning ; nor, I imagine, was that the object of the various dissecting bodies which have presented memorials to the same effect. But my own motive for adding my sig nature was simply a conviction of the generally pernicious effects of the Sundaymilway excursions— a conviction which was forced upon me by the evidence laid before me. I say fraud upon me, because, at first, I felt a strong doubt about the propriety of the proceeding, and was inclined to believe that it might be directed against the least of two evils. As I have had no communication with any other bishop oa the subject, I can only speak for myself. Bat it is not impos sible that the cue may have bee, the same with allure, and that there are more who are not chargeable with the ' im bedßty' of ' hoping to force the working classes into the churches by earthing up the paths of escape.'

He saU—On Tuesday, the 9th of December. I was shooting in the Renton covers, with Lord Lichfield, Earl Vane, Mr. Woodroffe, and others. Deceased was my valet. He was loading for me, and had a mooed gnu. Those shooting were all in aline. We had gone down the cover about sixty yards, when a rabbit got up before me, and doubled back through the line of beaters. I fired at it when it had got about fifteen yards from me. As soon se I fired, I saw the deceased fall. He was behind some hazel bushes. He was fifteen yards behind the beaters. He ought to have been close to my ride. He has shot with me before in covers, and he knew it was dangerous to stay behind. Major Anson went on to my that deceased was found to have been shot in the right leg. Medical assistance was obtained from Eccles- hall, Stafford, and Birmumbern, but it was found necessary to amputate the leg. Twenty-four hours after the operation delirium attacked t h e poor fellow, and did not leers him till his death, which took place on Monday last. Mr. W. Bras ford, gamekeper to Lord Lichfield, gave similar evidence. Ho mad that when Major Anson fired be (Mr. Brailsford) believed everybody was in line. He thought it almost impossible for Major Amon, even had he bad his attention fixed upon the spa, to have seen the deceased behind the bush from the place where be was standing. The jury re turned a verdict in accordance with the fact, entirely acquitting Major Anson from blaros.—Staffot drldre Adm.- tiaer.

Several new undertakings of considerable impor tance and interest are announced. One is the British and American Exchange Banking Corporation, with a capital of one million, of which one-half is to be issued in the first in stance. It is not intended, however, to call up Imore than 251. on each 501. share. The object 311 to embark in the generally lucrative business of exchanges between England and America, as well as between America and the ports in India and China. In this latter class of transactions the new company will have the co-operation of the Oriental Bank. The direction is of a character to inspire confidence. Next we may notice the Continental Bank Cor poration (Limited). In this case likewise the auspices under which the appeal is made to the public are highly respectable. It is intended to carry out operations in bullion and exchange be tween the United Kingdom and the Continent. The head office will be in London, and the first branch in Paris. There is no question that in the field proposed a vast amount of profitable business is constantly going on. The capital is 1,000,0001., in 10,000 shares of 1001. each, and the first issue is to consist of 5,000 shares. The City of London and General Fire and Life, Insurance Company (Limited) comes third on our list. This undertaking is not got up by profes eional promoters, but has been formed by a num ber of persons of respectability, practically engaged iu business, and who, it would appear, have it in their power,from the nature of their connexions, to give a good basis to the new concern. Offices are to be established in Liverpool, Glasgow, Edin burgh, Belfast, and other important towns. The directors pledge themselves to adhere to a popular programme, as distinguished from the system of high and arbitrary charges. The capital is to be one million, in 40,000 shares of 25/. each, and in this instance likewise one half is to be issued now. The title of another new undertaking is the Inns of Court Hotel Company. The capital in this case is fixed at 100,0001., in 10,000 shares of 101. each. A suitable site having been secured, it is proposed to meet one of the requirement's of the day by erecting a first class hotel for the accommodation of barristers and others in the vicinity of Lincoln's inn-fields. The central situation is considered of great importance, the more especially as it is be lieved that the various courts of law will b e f ore along be concentrated in the neighbourhood of Lin coln's-inn-fields. A large amount of she capital is announced to have been already subscribed for. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all payments until the opening of the 1 hotel. _ _ _ _ The directors of the London, Birmingham, and South Staffordshire Bank are inviting applications for the appointment of secretary, also of manager, Inn rf e) In 108 73 xn In d— xn :04 in al sn Zn 121 1 am 104 i 4 in la 71 r 21 1 le both for the London and Birmingham establish ments. . . . . — fie official statement of the quantity of sherry wines exported from Xeres in 1862 gives a total of 32,616 butts, the principal shippers being as follows, viz.

A circular issued by Messrs Ruskin and Co., of Billiter-street, announces that the sherry vintage of 1862 "yields about a fourth less than any one of even the immediately preceding unpro ductive years" It is remarked, however, that, "the quality of the wine will be most superior. Mr. Douiecq having already advanced prices up to the point necessary for the maintenance of quality, leaves them at present where they are, but he can only receive orders for immediate shipment."

A prospectus was issued yesterday for increasing the capital to work the Tywarnhaile Copper Mine, in CornwalL The committee of manairrient is a very influential one, and there will be little difficulty in accomplishing the object, particularly as it seems that the greater portion of the shares is already subscribed for. The capital expended to this time is 30,0001., or 5/. per share on the 6,000 shares into which the company is divided. The machinery and plant have cost 13,0001., and the ore sold has rea lised about 20,0001. The returns are stated to be nearly 300 tons of oopper ore per month, and these can be considerably increased as the ground is opened.
