(Cheers.) Gentle men, to return and conclude—as I shall have occasion to trouble you again—(loud cries of "Go on" )—for this time, gentlemen, I have only once again to repeat what I. have already said, as I begun with literature I shall gall with it. 1 would simply say trial L believe no true man, with any thing to tell, need have the least misgiving either far him self or Ks message before a large number of hearers— alweys supposing that he be not afflicted with the coxcomb ical ids i of writing down to the popular intelligence, in stead of writing the popular intelligence up ti himself, if, perchance, Le be above it, and provided always that he deliver himself plainly of what is in him, which seems to be no unreasonshle stipulation, it being supposed that he has what il in design of making himself understood.

On behalf of that literature to which you have done so much honour, I beg to thank you most turdially ; and on my own behalf for the most flatter ing reception you have given to one whose claim is, that he has the distini.t.oa of tasking it his profession.

The amount owing to aneecured creditors was 6,6111. ; the assets had produced 6,2221., after Paying 7001. in full for rent and other charges ; 4,6461. of the assets had been recovered within six weeks of the bank :tansy. The debts against the private estates were small; sad if both estate* were realised, there would be more than safileient to pay 20e. in the pound te all the joint and sepa rate creditors. The business which the bankrupts had serried is had been in existence upwards of 100 years, and for mare than 60 years it had been conducted by Mr. Bd. ward Winstanley, the elder bankrupt. Mr. Lawrence said he appeared for the assignees in this ems. The younger bankrupt was unable to be present aa enema of illness (of which there was • medial' certific), sad his illness was so severe as to render it doubtful w het be would be able to attend the court. The father, who was pima% was extremely aged. He was instructed ea behalf of the assignees, not only to offer no opposition but to thecae in the prayer of the bankrupts, that first-class cer tificates might be gestated. The circum..tances of the case were so meritorious, and at the same time so painful, that be did not think it desirable farther to allude to them. The Commissioner —It is quite a case in which I should be disposed to accede to such a request. Mr. Lawrence said tkat a large amount of property had Mica delivered up; the estate had already paid 10 se . in the pound; a reserve had been made to meet contingencies; end there wee no doubt that ultimately 20s. would be paid. The greatest possible credit was due to both these gentle men for having of themselves suggested that the estate should be distributed in bankruptcy, for the purpose of meeting a clue of eases arising out of the misapplication of trout jande by the decessed gentleman. The bankrupts wore shisses of groat sympathy to all who knew them. The Commisoloast—lin this case I am only restrained hem Oa, over the facts in detail, because many of those fasts we se palatal that I might, perhaps, inflict a wound is quarters where I should certainly wish to do the very oppesite—that is, to express every possible smpsthy sad kindly feeling towards these gentlemen . This is really one of the very few eases that occur, where the fallen has arisen wholly from misfortunes which the bankrupt, could not foresee or prevent. The father being of ad vanced age, and the other bankrupt acting as trave ll er to the concern, and being also in bad health, the active ma nagement of the business devolved on the deceased gentle man, who unfortunately abused the trust reposed in him. I will aot go into the case further than to say that these two gentlemen seem to deserve the sympathy which they experience from the creditors; they are quite to the first rank as to probity and integrity ; they have done nothing to tinge or colour the high reputation which they bear ; and lam sure that everybody feels for them. Ido so. I share with the creditors in their feeling towards them. I have the greatest pleasure is awarding them °Wilkens of the first Its as Aariouas. This was the meeting for choice of assignees in the SIND of Jules Artigues, described as a general mocha" of Mark-lane. The court was crowded with creditors, sad • number of professional gentlemen, including Mr. Lawns" Mr. Linklater, and Messrs. Bristow and Tarrant. were ta med in the eau. From a preliminary statement of affairs, compiled by Messrs. Hart Brothers, of George-yard, who are engaged in the preparation of the voluminous accounts, it appears that the ban kru pt's liabilities amount to 16,0001.; the wets are expected to realise about 1,6001. The bankrupt was examined touching a representation which he was alleged to have made as to his property. Ho stated that he had married about six months ago, but did not then cans* himself to be represented as having got 8,0001. with his wife. He had at that time property worth 1,4001. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of several foreign creditors, asked that the choice should be adjourned, as they had not yet had time to prepare their proofs. His Honour concurred in the propriety of an adjourn meat on this ground. Formerly there was a preliminary meeting of creditors in tech cue, before the meeting for the choice • and he thought it a disadvantage that that meeting sh ould have been done away with. The meeting was adjourned until the 31st inst. Is MA BNADllllllT.—Canute Or • RUNAWAY Bansiturr. The baakrapt, A. Bradbury, w a eheessoraager, of Holborn.

Thomas Tearoom!, 16, Joseph Sasaiders. 31, Archibald Id' Kendrick, 19, RIMING Wilson, 19, and Catharine Watts, 16, were indicted for • burglary in the dwelling-house of Samuel James Wood, and stealing a guantity of gold and silver watches, and other articles of jewellery, valued at 1701., his property. In other counts, 'the prisoners were charged with the robbery sod with having afterwards broken out of the pre mises; and there were also counts charging them with feloniously receiving the property, knowing it to have been stoles. This ease occupied the court for several hours and a great number of witnesses were examined on behalf of the pro secution. It appears that the prosecutor carries on the basinew of a pawnbroker, at No. 93, High Holborn, and that the robbery in question took place on the night of the 23rd of November. A police-constable, named Serjeant, was pandas the house, in the coarse of his duty, at half-past eleven o'clock, and when he went by a second time, about an hour afterwards, he found the front door open, and upon his raising an alarm, it was found that the jewellery cases in the shop had been opened, and that seventeen silver watches, five gold ones, • diamond ring of considerable value, a sapphire ring, and sixty gold wedding rings, and other articles, had been stoles. It appeared pretty plain from the examination of the premises by the police that there had been no forcible entry nor indeed one of any description from the exterior, and it was inferred that some one or more persons must have contrived to conceal themselves upon the premises, and that by that moans the robbery had been committed. Inspector Brennan, a very useful and active officer, who was complimented in the coarse of the cue both by the learned counsel for the prosention and the court for the tact he had exhibited in the matter, was engaged to en deavour to detect the perpetrators of the robbery, and in the result the whole of the five prisoners were taken into custody. Having assertaine dshops that some data stolen property had beat at tbe at lir. , a pawn kaki/ Wswea•Weet, rail Hans is Oid-strest, he made the nensessry inquiries as to the parties by whom the property was pledged, and he at length took the pri soner Wilson, Watts, and IP Kendrick into custody, and against them it was proved that within two days of the burglary these prisoners had been found dealing with three of the watches and a wedding ring, a portion of the pro , perty stolen from the shop of the prosecutor, and upon their being questioned they at first denied the fact, and at length, being compelled to admit that they had pawned the articles, they gave • very improbable account indeed of the manner in which they . came into their possession ; and so far as these three prisoners were concerned, one portion of the charge—that of being in possession of pro perty which they were well aware was dishonestly come by—was clearly established. With regard to the other two prisoners, Penfound and Saunders, it was shown that the former was taken into custody by • constable named Garrett, and upon his telling him that he was charged with being concerned in committing a burglary at a pawn broker's in Holborn, he at once said he would tell him all about it, and, although the constable cautioned him that what he s iid would be given in evidence against him, he persisted in making a statement, observing that he might aa well tell the constable as any one else. His statement was to the effect that about four o'clock in the afternoon on the day the robbery was committed he was standing near the prosecutor's shop when he saw three men waiting about, and from their manner he was induced to watch them, and while he was doing so one of the men came up to him and told him to go about his business. He said he told the men he should not go until he liked ; but in consequence of a fire breaking out in the neighbourhood about the time, he did go away for • short period, and then returned to the spot, and saw the same men and also a cabman, who appeared to have lied them. When they law him, the same man who had spoken to him cams up and said, "We are going to do a job at the pawnbroker's to night, and if you ' keep it dark,' we'll give you some of the property." He said that he continued to wait about, and saw the door opened, and two men went in, and in a short time he observed one of the men at an upstairs window. The men all came out together, and they gave him fourteen rings, • gold watch, a silver watch, and a pocket-book as his share, and asked him if he was setirfied; and he said that he immediately went to a beer disp is Worship-street, where he gave the property to the Ismalord to take care of for him. In consequence of this statement, Brennan proceeded to the beer shop referred to, which was kept by the prisoner Saunders, and his informing him that he bad come to look for some and other jewellery that were in his possession, he he had no such things in his house, but upon the officer telling him that he should make • search, be addressed his wife and said that she knew where the things were as well as he did, and that she had better give them to the °Meer. The wife then west upstairs, accompanied by Breams. OM put her hand up a chimney, from whence she pulled dew an old stocking, which on being examined was found to contain a gold watch, • signet ring, fifteen wedding rings, and a pocket book . , which turned out to be • portion of the stolen property. When the discovery was made Saunders exclaimed, " 1 wish I had never had them from him," and I upon Brennan asking him who he referred to, he said that a man, who was a stranger to him, and had only slept at his house one night, had given him the property. It turned out that Penfound was the person he referred to, and from the evidence of the shop man there appeared to be very little doubt that this prisoner, who is a lad of diminutive sta ters, had taken an opportunity while the thopenan was en gaged la putting up the shutters on the night of the rob bery to steal unobserved into the shop, and that he had secreted himself behind some packages that were at the farther end of it until all was quiet, and that he then let Is the other parties who were concerned in the robbery. The learned judge having summed up the whole of the evidence with great care and impartiality, pointing out the different portions that applied to each of the parties ac cessed, the jury after • very short deliberation returned Heir verdict finding the prisoner Peufound guilty of bur ibsy, 'Kendrick, Wilson, and Watts guilty of feloniously iessiving the property, aniacquitted Saunders. His lordship then eenteneed Penfound to be transported for fifteen years, and the other three for seven years each. This case concluded the business of the session, and the 'mut adjourned to Monday, January 31. GENERAL MINING COMPANY OF IRELAND.

SUGAR.—The average price of sugar, the produce of the British possessions in America, computed from the re turns made in the week ending the 4th Jan., 18d3—ne return. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius—no return. Sugar, the produce of the But Indies, 31s. Barstoz., JAN. 7. SI/GAlL—Business was resumed here on Wednesday last, and the few fresh parcels of West India brought forward, have found buyers at prices fully 6d. per cwt. above thole current previous to the recess ; the supply offering is still extremely limited. Of Mauritius about 7000 mats have been disposed of at full prices, and in foreign, 6,870 mats of Manillas, of old import, have found buyers, but the exact particulars of which have not transpired. For refiner's produce there has been a very active demand both during and since the holidays, and the manufacturers have been enabled to clear off all their stocks of goods which were ready for delivery (and which had accumulated largely), at prices fully 6d. to IL above those obtainable a short time since. For Rrx, the demand has subsided, and we are without transactions to report. COTTON.—LtvauPoon, JAN. 7.—With very few ex- I captions, the market price of cotton remains the same as last week. Ensile, Egyptians, as well as other long stapled kinds, are dull of sale, and Behias a point lower in price. But of American descriptions, which form the great bulk of the business, it may be said there is no change. The market, though not strong, is steady, cotton besng abundantly offered, but not pressed for sale; we cannot, therefore, re duce our quotations. Perhaps it is one of the best proofs of the moderation of existing prices, and confidence in a conti nued large consumption, that holders can steadily wait through a quiet time the large importations which are now at hand. The present state of our cotton market, and the existing scale of prices, is formed under the impression that the crop of cotton is the United States will amount to three millions of bales at the least. We still look with great in terest to every succeeding steamer for authentic advices on this important subject. 1,430 American, 640 Surat, 100 ftyptian, and 60 Maranham are reported to have been taken on speculation ; 600 Amerman, 180 Surat, 60 Madras, and 20 Pernam fur export. The Committee of Brokers place fair Uplands at did. ; Mobiles, 51d.; and Orleans, 6d. 'Bales for the week, 34,900 bales. CORN.—CHELMSFORD, Jan. 7.—The supply of red Wheat was by no means large today; white rather more plentiful, and all fully maintained last week's rates, and the market closed firmly ; red, 40s. to 475. ; white, 48s. to 6.55. Barley: all malting qualities were fetching extreme rates, and in some instances Is. more was obtained. Beans and Peas without much change, both firm; mazagan, 30s. ; ticks, 325. to 345. LINCOLN, Jan. 7.—Our market. was liberally supplied with Wheat le-nay, which was taken off at fully late rates. A good business done in Barley, at Is. to 2s. advance. Oats same as last week, but not much pasting in this article. I Wheat,red,44s. to 495. ; white, 60s. to CAL Barley, grinding, 265. to 28s. ; malting, MC Oats. 225. to 225. LITISPOOL, JAN. 7.—The weather is again boisterous and wet. The business in Brunswick-street the last two days has been inactive, and at the Corn Exchange this morning, having • very slender attendance of town and country buyers ' the transactions were in mere retail quan tities of every article of the trade. Useful quality of red wheat commanded the price of Tuesday, but American white was slightly easier to purchase. American flour was also rather lower; superfine sweet Western Canal, 275. 68. to 28s. to 28.. 6d. ; Baltimore and Philadelphia, 28s. 6d. to 295. ; and choice brands ranging from 295. to 31. per barrel. In Indian corn very little doing. The high prices and freight of wheat and flour from the United States per steamer Arctic, received this week, have had little influence on this market. There was no change in the value of oats, oatmeal, barley, beans, or peas. WAZEFIELD, Jan. 7.—Our supplies of grain are pretty good, but by no means large. The Wheat trade—without any marked buoyancy—is nevertheless very firm, and last week's prices are fully realised. Heavy Barley is Is. per qr. dearer, other qualities as before, but sale more free. Oats and Shelling steady. Beans without alteration, and the same may be said of other articles.

En. wbk.t Part THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION HOUSE. Mr. B. Lamar, shopman to Messrs. Benson, jewellers, of Cernbill, was brought up for final examination upon the charge of having obtained from Mr. Ward the sum of 31. 10s. for a watch chain, under the false pretence that it was gold. The justice-room was crowded with members of the trade and gentlemen, who seemed to take a deep interest in the case. Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. Rob le:, for die defence. Mr. Parry, in stating hew he intended to shape the ease the iseding rah Mbriems Kim evidence in which have been already , said that Mr. Ward was the son of • rfasweeig ad e e etable member of the Stock Excheage ; that , who sold the chain, was understood to be a thllhl judge of the artielee which the house disposed of and aeasoottently a penes fa a 'audition of perfect reopen- Utility, under the gaieties eireumstancu; that the question before the hes& most le felt to be of weighty importance, both 10 the prieener and his employers, and that it would certainly have been much more desirable to have the latter in the place of the accused individual, who acted no doubt upon their authority and for their benefit. It bad been, the learned counsel said, already proved that the article which had been sold was composed of very discreditable materials and ingredients ; that although stated to be all meld, it was principally compooed of base metal, and as OW prisoner's employen could not by the force of the evi dence be challenged with the offence, it was found neces sary for the protection of the public, to adopt the alterna tive of proceeding against the servant. It was the inten tion to call before his lordship a party who had assayed the chain and found that two-thirds of it were base, and that sae-third alone bad any intrinsic value. He would say, in the presence of the numerous tradesmen around, that the case decidedly was • cue of fraud. If • tradesman sold, as the best silk, an article which was of silk, but inferior quality, then the doctrine of caveat env ier" might came in as to tki judgment of the buyer ; but if that tradesman chose to sell for silk a piece of cotton or worsted, made up in imitation of silk, there could be no doubt of his criminal responsibility. The learned counsel thenquoted" The King v. Ball," in which case the prisoner offered thimbles made of base metal as silver ; another cue in which electro-plated articles were the cause of convic tion, and in which Mr. Clarkson had been engaged, with himself and • third, in which the prisoner pawaed rings as geld which had no claim to the character • and he said he womb' show that Mr. Ward had been def rauded to a con tamable extent. lie did not ask the Lord Mayor to say Mutton prisoner was guilty, or that Messrs. Benson sold illesklest articles ; but he would say that it was most im periled{ to the trade and to the public, that goods should meths falsely ticketed, and that it was necessary to send the important question before another tribunal. Mr. Parry dile laid he had only one witness to add to those who had given evidence upon the first examination. Mr. (leo. Richard Johnson said—l am an assayer of bul l i - lion and a partner in the firm of Johnson and dons, of Neu 6 end 7, G sham-street West. I received part of a chain—two links. It came in the name of Barber and Smith. I believe it was from Mr. Thomas. It was not confined to the two links. It was about an inch of the chain. I have assayed it. The part produced by Mr. Thomu appears to be put of the same chain. If a chain L brought to assay, I should take • link or two of it, coa -1 sklering that would be a fair sample of the chain. The Asia was only assayed for gold, and therefore I can't tell what the alloy was—probably it was partly silver. The nerd links were assayed together, and the ornamental links in another assay. I took them together because the variance was not very important, and did not amount M more than four shillings an ounce. I found this WI chain fourteen carats, one grain and a half lower ilia the standard, which would be equal to three ounces, *lien yweights, and six grains in the troy IFine gold would be worth four pounds six 'WI ;11 mum. I refer to pare gold. By fine gold I mega FIN Oft There are ether sorts of gold. Watch tom ono Mk el eighteen carats geld but gold chains are mead of sal sorts and qualities of gold. It is difficult to say what's a gold chain. I never saw • gold chain with the Hall meek is say reeolleetion. What are meant in the trade by :er i aldda are, I presume, chains that are coloured, shad brought up to • surface. There are no et pure gold with the exception of the Maltese ehrinie, whisk have little or no alloy in them. Mt. Clezioma said it was quite palpable from the mane Mina in the cone in preparing the depositions which had been made as the former examination from the signatures of the whams, that it was the determination of the Lord Mayor to send the as for trial to another court. It would therefore be useless for him to say one word in defence at the present moment. He would have en opportunity elsewhere of exposing the object and aims of the gross and unfounded charge which had been made to prejudice as much as possible the characters of the gentlemen of the respectable firm he represented. lie knew all about the matter, and he would take care that all should come out in due time. It was obvious that an unfair desire to prejudice the case existed, from the fact that a person in the court, who was interested in the prose cution, had applauded the attack made by his learned friend upon the employers of the young gentleman who was the immediate object of accusation. It was obvious, too, that the false charge had sprung in a great measure out of the jealousy of base able and successful tradesmen. - - The Lord Mayor said he was not aware of the lent unfair play upon the part of any individual. The gentleman who had expressed his approbation of the remarks of the learned counsel for the prosecution, was evidently unaccustomed to the forms of a court, and bad done so inadvertently. With regard to the committal of the prisoner, the impression upon the mind of the bench upon hearing the simple, but strong, testimony of Mr. Ward, that the prisoner said the chain " was not the but gold, not of the purest quality, but it was all gold," was, that a jury ought to decide the use. Ile had no doubt that a fair conclusion would be ultimately arrived at, and he trusted that the character of the firm, the respectability of which he had tic reason to question, would be clearly established. Mr. Clarkson said he supposed the Lord Mayor would be satisfied with Mr. Lamude's own security for his appear ance at the Central Criminal Court ? Mr. Parry offered no objection to the bail, and the Lord Mayor read the usual words previously to committal. The Prisoner—" I wish, my lord, to make an obser vation." . . . . Kr. Clarkson immediately intarpoesd his &deka, and the prima than said " 1 reams my defence for my trial." itimbpviWlJOH-STREET. utmarine Johnson, who stood remanded on suspicion of being accessory to various robberies, alleged to have been committed by her husband, an Am w erican, in which jewel lery to the amount of about 1,6001. as taken from the pre mises of Messrs. Hunt and Haskell, jewellers, New Bond street, was brought before Mr. Bingham for final exam& nation. The case stood over for further evident*, the police hav ing hopes of getting hold of the husband who bad made his way to Paris, and from thence to some other part of the continent. The only evidence against the accused was that some articles of jewellery resembling some of the stolen pro perty had been seen in her possession, and that her hus band had pawned at Messrs. A ttenborough's shop, in New- Ift , ton-causeway, two of the stolen rings. The magistrate was informed that no further evidence was forthcoming. Mr. Humphreys for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis for the prisoner, were present, but made uo observation. Mr. Bin,tham said application had been made in the first instance to him, and the cue had afterwards been investi gated by Mr. Hardwick, who was unavoidably absent that day on public business, but who had communicated with him, and had expressed his opinion that the charge could not be sustained unless further evidence was brought for ward.
