(Migne-11 C. Rtetrothe, Chairman." The ..is. gentleman afterward , ' entered at length into a description of the vested questions, which have so long *pitied the proprietors: he tonk it for granted, he said, that the London and North Western were prepared to carry out their agreement iii its fullest integrity; he pouted out the difference between the offers made by the two companies, and .:pressed himself as of opinion that it would he nowise to create two classes of shareholders, as eugge , ed by the Great Western Company; he bored that those 'aims would be modified, believing, as he did, that parliament would not sanction anything so completely without precedent. The hon. gentlemen recommended a complete union and amalgamation with the Shrewsbury sad Cheater Company ; for this purpose a bill would be rub- Emitted to the sharehreders ; believing, too, that it was the lutes: ten of tho legislature when it allowed the broad gauge to get to Birmingham, that there should be another line to th, , Mersey, and certain that there was an abundance of trete fur two, he moved a resolution, to the effect that the shareholders approved of the provision contained in the clause prieted above, and u approved by the Great West. sea Company. Mr. lithe, the Deputy-Chairman, seconded the mo tion. Mr. Scorr moved the following amendment: . I Thet in the opinion of the meeting the conditions which, by the provision of the 32nd section of the Great Weett rn Amalgamation Bill, and the resolutions of the director....f that company, the shareholders an required to °empty with, before they can entitle themselves to exercise the opt:on of accepting, in lieu of the proposed terms of amalgamation, a fitted dividend of 31 , 31 per cent. and half profits, are impracticable and unjust, and that this meet ing r. quires that such 32nd section of the said Amalgama tioe Bill be altered so as to entitle all the shareholders of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company unconditionally, and without distinction, to exercise such option within two mouths after the passing of the act. .2.

In this ease, which was part heard on Wednesday, an application was made on the part of the committee of the estate of the lunatic, who was tenant for life, under a will, of estates in England, and also to several estates in Jamaica. By one of the provisions of the will, the seta's* in Jamaica were to be kept up. A large debt had been incurred to the consignees of those estates, t 3 secure which policies of insu rance had been eff,:cted on the life of the lunatic, the pre- miums on which absorbed the proceeds of the English es tate.. The late Lord Chancellor made an order which, in effect, operated as a direction for the discharge of the debt of the consignees, as far as possible, and almost for the abandonment of the Jamaica estates. The committee of the estate, who was also the remainder-man, sow applied to the court for an order sanctioning an arrangement by which efforts should be made for letting the Jamaica estates; that a sum should be granted to the agent of the estates, to enable him to prepare for the neat year's crop, and to pay expellees incurred since July last ; and also that a consignee should be appointed. The Lord Chancellor said that he would not decide on the course he should take before he had carefully looked into all the orders which had been made; and at prennt he would only state what he felt inclined to do. He thought it was his duty, if there were any funds of the lunatic for the purpose, to reimburse the consignees; and he must not give any encouragement to the agent to proceed with the cultivation of the Jamaica estates, his only duty being to endeavour to let them. He was inclined to declare that the surplus income of the English estates should be applied to the expenses which bad been incurred since 31st July last, when the late consignees ceased to act, and also to be applied to keeping up the cultivation of the Jamaica estates until they were let ; and also that any surplus pro duce of those estates should be remitted for the benefit of the late consignees. That was the order he wished to make, if be could do so justly. He did not think that any debt to the consignees would prevent his doing so, unless their debt was such an one as would be a charge on the estates. With this view he would look into the question of their legal rights, and it would be necessary for him to examine the orders which had been made. He thought there would he no injustice in such a distribution of the funds as he had stated, unless he found something in the 'nen to prevent it. lie would give his final judgment before the next mail left, and it would be as well to end out by the present mail a strong intimation to the agent with regard to his attempting anything in the way of culti vation of the Jamaica estates, for he might thereby leo pard:se his 6001. surdas rem Mum or TIM Scala BIZIINNIAD DOCK TRUSTIMNI V. SHILIWS RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. R. Palmer, on behalf of the defendants in this cause, moved that an injunction, obtained on the 13th November, whereby the defendants Sere restrained from placing an iron swing bridge between the Morpeth and Egerton decks, should be dissolved. The railway company had entered into an agreement with the dock trustees for a perpetual lease of a quantity of land, called the South Reserve, for the erection of u station. In August last a new set of trus tees were elected, and they dismissed the then engineer, solicitor, and secretary, and stopped the progress of the erection of a bridge which was then going on, and which Mr. Randall, who bad been re-appointed engineer of the dock company, considered was of improper construction. It was now contended, on the part of the defendants, that inasmuch as the bridge was absolutely essential for the pas sage of locomotives, that as it was completed, with the exception of some works, which would only require the expenditure of 1501., and as there was engineering evidence that it was of proper construction, and well cal culated for the purpose intended, the injunction ought to be dissolved. His Honour said he could not dissolve the injunction. He could not allow the defendants to interfere in the management of the bridge by the plaintiffA, and if any damage were done to the defendants, the plaintiffs must answer for it. IN lla VIZ NIWCAATLI UNION BANKING COMPANY. This was a petition that this company be placed under the operation of the Joint Stock Companies Winding-up Act. Mr. R. Palmer, whe appeared in support of the petition, said the petition was presented some time beck, and had stood over till the present time. It seemed that in 1847 great mismanagement was discovered to have taken place in the affairs of the bunk. Since then it had been carried on with the consent of a large num ber of the shareholders, and the persons who had had the management had considerably reduced the liabilities. There were still, however, outstanding liabilities to the amount of 168,8841., and they had assets realisable to the amount of 114,9401., showing an insolvency to the amount of 43,9811. Under these circumstances it was admitted the company could not exist except for the purpose of winding up its affairs. The petitioner, who was a shareholder of the com pany, had been sued by a ( reditor for no lees a sum than 16,0001., and he had consequently a full right to coma to the court to have the company wound up. Mr. Ilinaloy, who appeared for the banking company, said he did not appear to resist the petition, hut only to ask for time. The bank was established in 1836, and it en& waded payment in October, 1847. At that time the Ittp Witte* amounted to 1,800,0001., which had since been tors dosed to 158,0004 The lasses to the bank principally area from advances made on insufficient securities, consisting et, iron works and alkali works.

The plaintiff in this Minh was a general dealer, and the defeniests were ship-broken in the city. The plaintiff, wishing to go est to Austria* entered into an arrangement with Om skiendlants to take a passage in one of their vessels ea •easmage plimenger, and paid his passage money. By ISMS emblast, when the vessel sailed with the plaintiff on =trie 7th September last, it did not appear on the ' books that the plaintiff bad paid his passage allmr; and when the vessel reached Deal, a telegraphic amp was seat by ono of the defendants' clerks, in eon- Mifilalit of which the plaintiff was put on shore, sad he than brought the present action.

The plaintiff refused to accept these terms; but jut belhee the trial was about to take place, a corn was I sparilases carried on, which led to a cow premium, the defendants agreeing to give the plain tiff MA, and to pay the costs. When the bill of lasts was taxed, the Muter refused to allow an hem of 301. for the maintenance of the plaintiff, as a whew on his own behalf, during a period of fourteen weals. A rale had been obtained to review the taxation. There were three gelatines in the case: first, whether the plaintiff was entitled to his maintenance not being • sea- faring man ? secondly, whether the damages did not include the maintenance? and, thirdly, whether the plaintiff ought not to have been examined on interrogatories ? Kr. Prentice now showed cause against the rule, and contended that the plaintiff's evidence not being required, in consequence of the defendants having admitted Om breach of contract in their letters, he would not have re mained in this country ; or, if his evidence was nunnery, he should have been examined on interrogatories. It was also urged that the matter was In the discretion of the Master L and that the cuurt, therefore, would not interfere. P Mr. Pullin, in support of the rule, submitted that as the Master fuel acted under • wrong impression, the court would make the rule absolute. Mr. Justice Crompton said he had better send the matter back to the Blaster, to see whether, under the circum stances, the plaintiff was justified in remaining in this country. Rule absolute.

The sittings of the court for the January Adjourned Quarter Session were resumed yesterday morning, at the Guildhall, Westminster, before Mr. Ser3eant Adams, as sistant-judge; Mr. Witham. Mr. Baylis, Mr. Buchanan, and Mr. Dodd. There are 69 prisoners for trial for felony, and three for misdemeanour. Edward Bragg, 27, was indicted for having stolen a book value 65., the property of the Great Western Railway Company. Mr. W. Digby Seymour for the prosecution, stated that the Groat Western Railway Company had some time ago established a library at Paddington, for the exclusive use of their officers and clerks who subscribed to it. The company supplied the reading room, furniture, arc., and the books were stamped with the arms of the company, and in the rules there was • condition, that in case the society, as it was termed, should be dissolved or broken up, the books were to be deemed the property of the company, and not to be shared amongst the subscribers. The prisoner had been • clerk in the company's service, and was a subscriber to the library, and it would be shown that he pawned one of the books, ‘' Scott's Life of Napoleon Bonaparte," hav ing previously effaced the company's arms, and torn out the rules of the society. A witness was called, who proved that the prisoner was a subscriber to the library, and that he had no authority to sell or dispose of any of the books. Ile produced and handed in a copy of the rules. The Assistant Judge having perused this, decided that the property could not be laid as that of the Railway Com pany. The society could not be dissolved except by the directors, and it was not until dissolution had taken place that the books were to become the property of the company. The ownership, as he thought, was in the subscribers until the company was broken up. Mr. Seymour thought that under the company's set of , parliameat the books could be designated their property as they were on their premises, and under the charge of one of their officers. The Assistant Judge thought the clause referred to did not apply to this particular case, and directed an acquittal. The prisoner w .s then tried and convicted on • charge of having stolen • coat the property of a fellow clerk. The Assistant Judge sentenced him to nine months' hard labour. THE POLICE CO URTS GUILDHALL. Was. Great, a country traveller for Messrs. Gilbert and Co., silversmiths, at Birmingham, was brought before Sir James Duke charged with embezzling 851., a part of a sum of 2,0001. which he had lately received on account of his employers. Mr. Humphreys read a few passages from a letter written by the prisoner, in which he confessed the deficiency, stain& that he was involved in difficulties, and that he was , unable to uffer them the balance of 851 . of the annexed Sc. ---..... _ . count amounting to over 1,9001. Sir James Duke said he had no doubt it would be his duty to send the prisoner to Birmingham for further ex amination, and he accordingly remanded him fur that pur- BOW-STREET : George Bunyan, who was described in the charge-sheet as a gentleman, residing in John-street, Adelphi, was charged with assaulting Mr. It. 0. Potts, on Saturday even ing last. Mr. Potts, the complainant, stated that he was residing temporarily at 12, Chappell-street, Cavendish-square. At about 7 o'clock on Saturday evening he was walking along Pall-mall, accompanied by his wife, and when opposite the Reform Club he left her for a few moments, desi.ing her to walk quickly towards the end of the Mall and then return, while he stepped into the Club to speak to a gentlemem. He was detained a few minutes only, but while he was walking down the steps to rejoin his wile he saw her at a short die twee evidently in distress from the rude conduct of a gentle mn who was molesting her. He (complainant) ran to wards her, and met the defendant, who was then walking away from her, and from whom he de manded an explanation of his conduct—his wife, whom he found leaning against the railing, and crying, having exclaimed that he (the defendant) had grossly in sulted her. The defendant said, " I did not know the lady was your wife ; I will go back and apologise to her." Com plainant replied, " Before I accept your apology I must Learn the nature of the insult ;" and then they returned to Mrs. Potts, who said that while she was walking from the club the defendant came quickly behind her, and, putting his hand into her muff, exclaimed, "My dear, where are you going ?" at the same time pushing his hand up her sleeve to the elbow. She forced his hand away, and told him that she was a married lady, and that her husband would be with her instantly. He replied, " Your husband I Oh, no I I will protect you. Your way is mine, and wherever you go I'll go." She then saw her husband run ning down the steps of the Reform Club, and said, "Thank God, he is here." Complainant, on hearing this statement, said, " You must be a coward to insult a lady in this way, and if I had been with her I would have broken your neek." He then took Mrs. Potts by the wrist for the pur pose of showing how it occurred. She withdrew from him indignantly, and complainant, irritated by his conduct, called him a snob. The defendant said, in a supercilious manner, "I as sore for what has happened, and have apologised to the lady ; and if you are not satisfied with that here is my card." Complainant tore up the card in his face, and, taking his wife's arm, was about to balk away with her, when the defendant struck him a blow. Complainant returned it, and a 'cattle ensued, during which they both fall upon the pavement, the defendant managing to get over him and striking him several blows in the face while in that position. It was true that he was detained in the club a minute or two mere than he expected. The scuMe on the pavement having been spoken to by two witnesses and policeman 99 C (who found both com plainant and defendant with their faces covered with blond), Mr. Huddlestone addressed the court for the defendant, contending that his client hod done all that could be re quired of a gentleman, from the moment that be discovered his error. It was not unnatural to mistake a lady, welk in in that locality, alone, at such a period of the evening, for one of the class who ply for hire, and who do not object to be saluted in the way which bad been described ; but when he found that he had committed a mistake, he adopted the only course open to a academia—either to apologise or to offer satisfaction. Mr. Potts would accept neither, but tore the card up and threw it in his client's face,—conduct provoking enough to tempt if not to justify a blow from any man. However, Mr. Buegass denied that he struck any blow until after he was struck by the com plainant. Mr. Hall—ls it wished that I should deal with this case summarily ? Roth parties having assented to this course. Mr. Hall said, the late hour has been alluded to. It does not appear to have been a very late hour. It would be too much to say that no modest female is to be seen in the street at 7 o'clock in the evening without being subject to insult. Every man who ventures to address a woman in the street, is not to take it for granted that because she is unprotected, she is unchaste. It he does so, he does it at his own peril. He runs the risk, and he tak e , the consequence. But it would be a monstrous thing to allow that a lady, whew husband has left her for a few minutes only, is liable to molestation by any gentleman who may think to be excused by making an apology. A man may make an apology from the fear of being chastised, or from the dread of an action at-law, or from other reasons than a sense of impropriety. I must say, that lam surprised, if the defendant meant anything by his expression of regret, that he should again place his hand upon the lady's wrist, even on the preteuce of explanation, and thus add another insult to the injury already inflicted. When the husband saw him handling his wife again, it was enough to provoke a blow ; and even if he had struck the defendant first, which would he very excusable, the defendant ought to have said, " Well, this is not exactly the, conduct or the language which one gen tleman ought tr, use towards &miller ; but I am in the cannot resent it, and therefore I shall leave you." But, instead of this, lie makes a fierce attack upon the hus band whora he had injured, just as he was about to walk away wit n the wife whom he had insulted. I fine the de. fondant 51. The fine was imieediately paid.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. . John Hardtastie was chargedwiththe following offence! John Steevens, ekeesemonger, No. 97, Tottenham-court road, said the prisoner had lived in his h nue as shopman, but was discharged last December. Prosecutor was accus tomed to keep his cash-boa under his head in bis bed-room, a circumstance that the prisoner was well acquainted with. About three o'clock on Sunday morning while in bed, he heard a rustling noise under the bed. T here was a light in the room, and on looking about he was enabled to see the shadow of a man's hand on the wall, protruding from beneath the bed in the direction of the cash-hoz, which was under the pillow. A head soon followed the hand, and he then called out who's there, at the same time jumping out of bed and calling for a light. On the same floor there was one of the ahopmen, who earns into the room, and on looking under the bed they there found the prisoner. As soon as the prisoner saw he was discovered, and that he was likely to be secured, he gaged out that he would not be taken, for he was well armed. Prosecutor shut the door of the room, but telieving the repeated salestione of the prisoner that he was armed, be aimed the primer tom the door and to run down obis% ma kola bin naps the hook (nay. Ilse haw men almost up wady he went to bed, and it was bin minim ON es prisoner mot bays found an aflame before the house was Ant up, and secreted himself beneath the bed. In reply toe question, prosecutor said he was quite cer tain the hand he saw was directed towards the cashbox. Police-constable Coffee said—On receiving information of **attempted robbery, and a description of the prisoner, she was recognised by the prosecutor, he went to the pri efiaer's lodgings, No. 2, Chatham-road, and found him dim. He told the prisoner who he was, and what he wanted him for. The prisoner said he knew nothing about the matter. On being asked at what time be got home that night, he said about four o'clock, and had been walk kg about the streets until that hour. The prisoner was searched, but nothing found in his possession except a few ers. - The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully com mitted. SOUTHWARK. Janos Barnard, a powerful looking man, was charged with smelting and robbing Henry Green, Clerk in a mer cantile house in tie City. The complainant stated that be resides in Union.square, Swan-street, Southwark, and that on Saturday night, as he was returning home from the City about 10 o'clock, he was accosted by the prisoner near the Town-hall. The pri soner kept by his side as he proceeded along, talking on different subjects, until they arrived at the Swan in the Dover-road, into whisk house he (complainant) walked, followed by the prisoner, and perceiving that he was re spectably dressed, and apparently • decent man, he invited him to take a glass of wine at the bar. They afterwards leR the house together, and walked up Swan-street, and stopped at a stall where he treated the prisoner to some oysters. On leaving the stall they walked in the direc tion of Union-square together, and when they got to within a abort distance of complainant's house, the prisoner seised him by the throat with such violence as nearly to deprive him of breath. He then threw him with force en the ground, thrust one of his hands into his trousers pocket, and robbed him of • sovereign and seven et eight shillings. Witness managed to call out, but before assistance arrived his assailant made his escape, and com plainant was found by some of his neighbours lying on the pavement near his house in • state of imensibility. In consequence of the violence with which he was grasped he bad suffered much pain about the throat, which was so sore that he was prevented from taking any solid food ever since. An officer in court said that • similar robbery had been reported to the police by another complaisant, and the description of its perpetrator answered precisely to the appearance of the prisoner.—Committed. • tX/URT OF COMMON PLEAS.—YEsTEsnAv. anon* in Baxech—Baru Cm. lovimg aava. 11t JoTica Clribllll4•Xylla.Pmeno• Wiuura.

Thill was s rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause Vi t i: l i s e trial of the cause should not be postponed until the after Trinity Term nest, in cossequmice of the &b -ane. di material and necessary witnesses. Mir. Needham stated that the fiction arose out of •onatract, made by the plaintiff with the defendants, that dry should carry him as a passenger from London to Port Phillip on board the Melbourne. The declaration charged that the vessel was unseaworthy, and unfit to carry the plaintiff ; that he was in peril of his life, and left the shin at Lisbon, and then special damage was alleged. The de (madras traversed various allegations in the declaration, and, among other things, the unmaworthinees of the vessel ; and stated that she was detained by accident only, and for no other reason. The affidavits stated that several persons who were necessary witnesses were absent ; and, further, that they could not safely proceed to trial without them. Mr. Justice Cromwell said they knew • great deal of the history of this vessel from the public papers. After sailing from Plymouth she put in at Lisbon ; and, hiving been repaired extensively, continued her journey. The Chief Justice—How could there be a fair trial with out these witnesses ? Mr. Needham—There were several persons in London who knew the whole histo7 of the matter, from beginning to end, and among others there were the commander of the vessel and the surgeon. The plaintiff had lost amp thing in the world, and was new a pauper in London, with out the means of living from day to day. lie stated kis be lief that the application for postponement was mad* le drive him to a compromise, and that if it was postponed, be should be obliged to accept any terms they might ahem to give. He submitted to the court that no ground was *bows for postponing the eau, inasmuch u there were no Wee than eight persons in England who were on board at the time in question, and knew all about the matter. Mr. Justice Creswell—The case seemed to be this: a party sought to postpone • trial, because A B and C, his witnesses, were absent, but the other party said, " 06, don't stop for them, you shall have half a dozen of my wiener's."

The Attorney-Oeneral, who appeared for the defendant, said that in this case (which was an action by some bankers at Leamington against a clergyman for 1,0501., the balance of an overdrawn account) the court had suggested a vele rents, with a view of settling the matters in dispute. He was quite prepared to agree that the account should be re ferred to the muter. The Chief Baron said the court suggested a reference in order that the defendant might get credit fur the alleged overcharges for interest and commission. Mr. James, for the plaintiff, said he would conseat to any arrangement of that kind, if the 1,0601. was paid into mart. It was ultimately settled that the defendant should either pay the amount into court, or find security for it in the course of a fortnight ; the verdict to stand for 1,0501., subject to such deductions as the muter might consider the defendant entitled to.

It was proved on the trial that Pratt had been paving Levy 60 per cent. for the time accommodation he afforded him. A rule nisi was obtaind is the present term for a new trial, or a stet procemus. Mr. James now showed cause against the rule, sod said he had no objection to a new trial if the plaintiff could be made responsible for the costs, 'apposing they fell upon him. The Lord Chief Baron made some severe remarks on the conduct of the plaintiff in taking advantage of a trader in misfortune, end mulcting him to the ezeent of 60 per cent. It was arranged that the rule should be made absolute on payment of costs within a fortnight, otherwise the ver diet mast stead.

Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, asked for an adjourn ment to allow of the accounts being looked into. Mr. Lucas appeared in support of a petition presented by Mr. Tingay, a mortgagee, asking for an order for the sae of some property. Mr. Lia Water objected, on the ground that the tram.> tissue connected with the mortgage were tainted with usury, and proposed to examine the bankrupt. After • conversation, it was agreed that the inquiry should stand over, and the last examination was adjourned for • month. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Yzsm3DAT, item= Ma. Colostomies Pati.ure. Ise THZ NAIIIII FAT. This insolvent, whose case has been several times before the court, was brought up from Gloucester gaol, on his ap plication for a protecting order and discharge. Mr. Cooke supported. There was no opposition on the present occasion. Mr. Commissioner Phillips granted the protecting order, and ordered the discharge. Ire as RODIST LOCLWOOD. This ease was heard under the Protection Act. Mr. Dowse opposed for a creditor who had a judgment against the insolvent in a County Court. The schedule, as filed, exhibited debts to 671., and it was afterwards stated that they were 2751., and the insolvent now said he owed his brother about 2001., contracted some years ago, which would make his debts exceed 3001. As a trader he asked his petition to be dismissed. Mr. Commissioner Phillips made some strong remarks on the case. The insolvent had been walking about with the protection in his pocket for some time, when he well knew that he had no right to it, as his debts were over 3001. He would consider whether he should not order an indictment for perjury under the We act. It was high time an expasple was made. The petition, as the debts were over 3001., was ordered to be dismissed. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. YESTERDAY. John Blenikhorn, 22, a respectable-looking young man, described sac farmer, was indicted for uttering • forged cheque for 10f., with intent to defraud. It appeared that about half-past 7 o'clock in the evening of the let of January, the prisoner went into the shop of Messrs. Suckling end Benson, jewellers and silversmith., in ' Ludgate-street, and picked out a watch and chain, the price of which was 6L 16.. He salted the shopman if he would object to take a cheque in payment, and be replied that they were not in the habit of taking cheques from strangers after banking hours, but he would try and get change for him. The prisoner then produced a cheque apparently drawn by Henry Stoat and Co., furniture dealers, in the Westminster Bridge-road, upon the Lambeth branch of the Royal British Bank, for the sum of 101 and he said that he had obtained it from Mr. Stoat. The slioproan said he would get the change, and it was ged that the prisoner should call again in half an hour, and receive the watch and chain, and the balance of the cheque. The prisoner accordingly went away, and inquiries were then instituted which resulted in the discovery that the cheque was • false instrument. The prisoner did not return to the shop Mete time appointed, but on the shopman going into 41te street late in the evening, he saw him standing close by the shop, ' and he called him in, and sent for a policeman, and gave him into custody . for uttering a forged cheque, but upon the prisoner hearing the charge mide against him, ho said that if the cheque was a forgery ho knew nothing of it, and that he had received it from a person who was a stran ger to him, in a betting transaction. Upon the prisoner being searched a betting-book, showing that he bad been . very extensively engaged in gambling upon the turf, and several papers, among which was • bill-head of Mr. Stoat's, were found in his possession. Mr. Clarkson ' in his address to the jury for Itlie prisoner, endeavoured to show that he had really been made a dupe by some other person. He said he was instructed that the prisoner was a young man very reitectably connected in the North Riding of Yorkshire, and that his father, who wee .. very extensive farmer, bating only very recently died. he h ll, l come up to London, PI: mention in the SW illatalate being merely to see the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. Instead, however, of returning to his home, it appeared net be had become mixed up with some of those gambling racing establishments which unhappily abounded is London, and he was instructed that it was at one of them that he had received this forged cheque in payment of some bet he bad woe. &mend reepostable witnesses wen called oa behalf of the primmer, and they bore oat by their evidence the statement et the leaned moist with regard to the respectable posi tion of himself and his family ; sad they alio said that they bad never heard of any blemish upon the primeser's character up to the present moment, except the charge then under investigation. The learned Recorder, in summing up the case, observed that it was certainly one of rather a peculiar character, and it was the province of the jury alone to say whether it had been made out to their satisfaction that the prisoner had uttered the cheque with a guilty knowledge that it was forged. The learned counsel had urged every point that could be adduced in his favour, but he was sorry to my, that if the suggestion that he had merely been the innocent agent in the matter was true, he could not see how it could be reconciled with the fact of the prisoner having in the first instance stated that he had received the cheque from Mr. Stoat himself, which statement he must have known to be false. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his previous good character. The Recorder sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard ►abour for twelve months. MARKETS. COTTON.—LtvitkPooL, JAN. 31.—The sales of cotton to-day amount to 12,000 bales, of which 3,000 are taken on speculation.

The market closes with much spirit, and, compared with Fri day's rates, prices of American ars id. per lb., and all other kinds are a point dearer. The accounts from America have exercised a favourable effect on the market. CATTLE.—BIMPORD, Jan. 29.—A1l kinds of lean stock sold well at this market, better than for • long time past at this period of the year. The fat stock was but indifferent, the Sheep in particular, so much wet preventing those fed upon turnip laud making very little progress. The demand was brisk for both Beef and Mutton, but no advance upon previous prices; the tipping prim I being 4s. fur Beef, and 6.. per stone of 81bs. for Manila BIICICINOHADI PAUL, Jan. 31.—This fair was well supplied with Cattle, but not so with Sheep, there not being more than one-fourth the usual number. The attendance of both local and distant buyers was more numerous than usual, and there was a continual demand for lean stock. The quality of the cattle was not first rate, never theless they found willing buyers. Beasts for stall feeding were sold in rapid succession. Herefords and Devons, at 101. to 121.; Lincoln' and Short Horns, at 111. to 14/. per head. ' The young Beasts for grass feeding maintained high prices, with every sympton of a further improvement. Young fresh banners went off freely, at 35. per stone. Mitch and in calf Cows were in better demand than at Aylesbury last week, and were easy to sell, at greatly improved prices. Sheep in good demand at late prices. There were a few pens of couples, which sold readily at 38s. to 445. per couple. The Horse trade was active for all young animals, at the late high prices. The Pig trade was brisk, but still there was no advance on last week's prices. Suckling Calves, 20s. to 255. each. Prime-bred Cow Calves for wean ing, 245. to 325.

AMERICAN MARKETS. flaw YORK, JAN. 18. There is no marked change in money, but a growing ease and lower rates. Some strictly first-class paper is passed at 5! per cent., but the range is 3* to 7 per cent. On call the rates range from 5 to 7 per cent., the stock-heusee paying 6 to 6 percent., and relending at 7 per cent. The stock market continues heavy with a moderate busi ness doing, and notwithstanding the increasing abundance ' of money there appears to be little or no disposition to specu late largely. The changes are not important in the Fancies, but generally they are downward. At the Second Board the market was still heavy. Erie fell off to 92. Long Island was better, and sold st 341. Harlem, 72 *. Stonington, 57. Nicara gua was dull at 37. The Canal Stocs are rather steady. Cum berland, 66g. Phenol: 40 regular, 3,5 seller sixty. Parker Vein 78 regular, 80 buyer sixty.

Government Stocks are in demand for banking purposes. In Excbenge the market is dull at Bto 91 for sterling, with first-class bills at 9i per cent. Franca, 315t0 5 133. Corrom.-The sales to-day were 1,000 bales, at full and advancing prices. There is an evident disposition to specu late on the chance of forcing up prices abroad, by holding on to the supplies after they are allowed to reach the ports. It is said planters are now ginning their tato pickings, re serving the cleaner parcels for summer shipments, as in 1851, after a rise in price by an expected scarcity. As the season has been favourable beyond an average for picking, it is useless to say the good cotton is exhausted. With the facilities that now exist for obtaining information of growth, k la not at all probable that the markets abroad can receive an impulse from this cause. ARMRB.-The market is without change. Sales of 60 bbl.. Pets at 4 doh. 620., and 5 dole. 75c. for Pearls. FLOUR AND MEAL-There is little change to note in cur market for the low grades of State and Western flour.
