of events that took Owe in 1.147, the action of committees ' at the Hou-e of Commous in that year, C ttttt equeut on the elccti closure, and itbout the *tibiae:pia e fleet of the raising id the act antler which these conaniiiiaiiiners meet, it was probable these permits could not have recourse under these wean:mance' to corrupt practices. Mr. Alderman Brent was here recalled, and said the 4101. was p tad to his account, and which appeared in his banker's book "To each, 4-101." He paid 2001., the balance of it umaining,to Mr.Coppock, and nothing passed bertweenthem on the subieet beyond a joke by Coppock, to the effect that " the smallest donations were thukfully received." (lamaghter.) Mr Alderman Plummer, deputy chairman of committees in 1117, deposed that aavinints spoken to by previous *a new+ were presented to the committees and paid, bat he was not aware that they were for the purpose of bribery. He did not know that applications were mule for colour tuka:s, and he tie ver promised any voter a place or other inducement for his vote. He protested at the meetings against the bribes that were presented, and particularly against the sher,ll 's bill for 1001. as being a great deal too much. lied known of the existence in Canterbury of the colour ticket system ever since IS4I, but of coarse he could not stop the system himself. Was the only person who ob jected toil. Cieerge Godwin, brewer, was then examined at great length—ln 1847 he took an active part in the election of Lord Conyers's rind lion. Mr. Smythe, and he n em. d a list of thirty voters and 130 1 . from Rutter, with Matt uctiona to give them jr". a piece for their votes, after they had pulled for Cons aphelia and Smythe. It had been rm. moored that he put a militant:able portion of this into his own pocket, but this was false. He gave the names of three or tour of these 30 individuals, but protested that if it were to " save his life " be could not give the remainder. (The learned Commissioner admonished him that he would be ex pected to give them at some future periled) Ile was told on taking the money that the thirty were to be bought, and a men named Southey assisted rim in the transaction. He had no account whatever of the way in which the money was distributed. Edward Southey was here called, and said be assisted Godwin, but did not have one shilling of the money ; and that he could not recollect one of the thirty names. He gave a droll account of the ehamelion-like character of his psolitiesl predilections, which appeared to have alternated, as recitaiii• suited, between the blues " and the " reds." The witness repeated, amid the derision of the audience, his former statement that be had none of the money, bat that, the contract having been mad* with the voters, he took them 1117 to the poll. The Hen. Mr. Smythe, who was accompanied by Mr. Peacock.. late M P. for Huwicb, was next called and cla mmed by the Chief Commissioner as follows :—I first came forward as a candidate for the borough of Canterbury in 1811. It was by a single election, and I was successful. The general election occurred in June of the same year, when 1 was again a aadidate, end again successful. You appeared as a Conservative en one occasion, I be lieve ?—tt ell, I don't quite admit that ; " red" they would call it in Canterbury. I can hardly admit that (Laughter.) •• Pink," then ?—I can't admit that, either. But, at the general election in 1847, you appeared or re corded " blue" ' (L 614600—1 can't admit that, either. You were supported in 1817 by a groat majority of the " blue" party. You appeared again at the general election of In. 11„ and were a candidate I was not. I resigned before the poll took place. Some of my friends polled for me contrary to my desire. I put out handbills requesting thorn not. My election in 1841 east me 8.0001. or 7. 0001 - I hail re agent.

I believe that at the election is 1841 a sery eapenditure of colour-tickets took plant, but I have to deleasents relating to them ; because I amyl state the sisenstente were all burst by the advice of the Hoe. Stephen ishisid Lulu agton.formerly Governor of Madras. I have hat a verse idea or the colour-tickets that were issued, bet fry_ intpleglion is that they were issued to the extent of 2,000 f. Xi. Meniker Wilson was my opponent, and I believe there en as expenditure of colour-tkkets on his tide—together, 44081. I hardly recollect the extent to which the colour-tickets were issued in 1847, bat I banded over the 900/. without reference to its being expended in legitimate expenses. I did not ask a corium), knowing exactly what the habits of the borough were. I banded over the 9001., and supposed it would render the election safe. At any rate, it VAS comparatively cheap. (Laughter.) It also cost Mr. Bradshaw 1,0001. The account, burnt fa lated to the first election. The reason Mr. Lashington gave me his advice for burning the documents was, the immense peril that might attach to keeping them. What Dumber of names were in these accounts?— About 60. - - _ . . I.gestaection with what T—Bribery. The number is tentaraction with the colour tickets was innumerable ; pro bably 6.000. I endeavoured to get my flags and colours beak after the election in 1847, but could not ; but I do net know whether my initials were picked out of the colours and thou of the others put in, but I guess it was likely. It was beyond my cognisance entirely _that the bribery repre sented to have been carried on by Mr. Brent was so carried on. The bills were not submitted to me in any way. I paid the money whether the expenses were legitimate or illegitimate. In 18501 gave, on solicitation, all my interest and support to Colonel Itomilly, whom those in my interest treated as a friend, and not as a rival. Only seven of my friends polled for me in 1852, in consequesee of my leaving the field, and I should think about 100 abstained from voting. In 1841 the expenditure was larger on the red than on the blue side ; and, as far as my experience goes, the money on the blue side is more desterously managed, and goes further. (Laughter.) I canvassed about half the consti tuency, and I found the Canterbury people, as is the case with others, backward in . As far as the existence of bribery went, I certainly opposed it; bat with reference to eolour tickets, lem not prepared to say what I should have done. An inealinalable number of the voters may be secured by the colour tickets, but the re spectable portion of the constituency was in no way influenced by them; but about half the co may be taken as affected by colour tickets. I was Want the price represeated by the colour tickets on the bins WM was 15a, and on the red 11. I know nothing of the mood the 30 voters or of " Goodman v. Southey. ' I think Ms. Gurney Cros adell received some of the 6,000/. or 7,00111 16 was chairman of what is called the Conservative Club. Thu sum of 6,0001. or 7,0001. was paid in instalments before and after the election—about 2,0001. before, and the rest after. I remoraber 1,0001. of it being brought down to me in sove reigns, and hooded to Kingsford. Out of the 7,0001. a sum of 4001 ens paid In respect of a petition. I menaced. It wee unepenleod, however. The Canterbury petition was paid al spinet the St. Albans. (Laughter.) I don't think it was dam either by Brown or Coppock, bat by the " whip" of the party. I was very much astonished and gratified at it. Hutu expressly to contradict what is re ported to have been said by Mr. Brent, that I knew any thing whatever of persons being bribed, or their votes bought in 1841. The lion. Butler Johnstone was nest examined at mat length. He stated that ha was the mainsefal easdidaa with Mr. Gipps at the last amiss. bet vocausegisantip unseated, and entered into aimanntantial as vs of kit being invited by a deputation to stand for the ban ugh, on a representation that there would, from the Mate of the registration, bee majority for the conservative candidates. A coalition was formed with Mr. Gipps. He (Mr. John stone) and Mr. Gipps each paid 3001. sate the bank of Mr. Kingsford. During his canvass the freemen need to come up to him and ask him favours, and he said to them, "Do you know who you are talking to—do you want to ruin me ?" He had heard that the blue party were trying to lay a trap for him to bring about a petition, and sus pected it. Had paid 1,3001. in all as the expense of her election. Wished it included the expense of the petition. Mr. Gipps, his collea gue, went to Germany, and said to some in Canterbury, if you want any money write to Johnstone ;" and a letter came to him, either from Mr. Pont or Mr. Kingsford, while he was in Scotland, and be sect 3001., which ho considered was owing to him by Mr. Gipps. He understood that there were a great many colour-tiekets during the election. On inquiry, he mdse. stood that it was a regular custom on both sides. lie was told that the freemen of Canterbury were legitimately entitled to it. He understood that both sides always had coloured tickets, and in hie unsophisticated innocence he thought they bad. (Laughter.) After he had paid the last 30W. Dr. Locher* said something about a further sara being required, but he was fully prepared to advance it, but Dr. Lockett said, " You have paid 1,0001. and I do not think you ht to be called to pay any more ;" but he was afraidimf Brent,andwhat in Canterbury was called "the Minns purse." that was the puree of the Marchioness of CleiMbeal. (Laughter.) The marchioness had awry largo Meow, and it was ru moured that when she me the ideation going against her son, Sir William Somerville, she would Nom down hand somely with her thousands, so ohs was understood to have done. (Loud laughter.) Whim he board this, and that the marchioness's purse was to be opened against him, he felt fairly in the fight, and that be weild not be beaten even by her. (Laughter.) He madotetemi also that the other tide were prepared to have 7•0011110 to bribery, but he was actions there should be no net of bribery com mitted by either him or his friends.

CORK. When the committee met again yesterday morning, Mr. Pigott commenced summing up the evidence on the part of the petitioners. lie said he would call upon the sosamittes to declare the election void on three grounds. no first ground wu upon the general, and, he might say,' suisa i s ed system of note under which, and by means of which, the return of the sitting members was accomplished. The sesood ground was, because it was the imperative duty of the returning dicer, when the nets had arisen to that height which they did, and when called upon by the agent of the unsuccessful candidate (C Chatterton) to adj men the poll, he should have dime so, in order to give a longer period for taking the vote. Thirdly, he would call upon the committee to declare the dee-ion void on the ground of treating, either by the sitting mecuhers themselves, or at all eve iva by their swots, for whose acts they must be held re - spohsi . Ide The learned counsel quoted, at math length , the printed placards issued previous to the election, allud ing in strong language to the Stockport riots, with a view to influence the electors against voting for a protestant candidate. lie also read lengthy extracts to the same effect from addresses deli ol by the Roman catholic priests is their chapels, which had been previously given io in evidence ; cater which he recapitulated thy most striking puiuts of the whole of the evidence brought for ward in the course of the inquiry in support of the allega tions contained in the petition. At the close of his address the caw fur the sitting members was c-mmenced by Mr. James calling Mr. F. B. Beamish—Witness said, I was acting as high sheriff of Cork at the last election. I have been brought here by the agents for the petitioners. I remember receiving the writ on Sunday, 4th of July. The sub-sheritf was Mr. Walter Morrow. lam a protestant, and represented the borough of Cork in parliament for about four years, on liberal principles. For the last seven year* I have taken no active part in politics. I fixed Friday,Velt Jaly, for the nomination, and the polling for Monday. I had no motive —quite the reverse—for fining that day for the polling, to give the Sunday to the party of the sitting members to concert their measures. The Town Council named metal': market-places in Cork fat the polling places for both candi dates, which was agreed to by Colonel Chatterton. After wards the Bazaar was suggested by one of Colonel Chatter. ton's agents, Mr. Fitaimon, instead of Harper's-lane Marker. Mr. Fitsimon also suggested other alterations. I am a voter, but I did not vote myself. I believe I have a good deal of influence in Cork, but I never asked a man to vote either way at the last election. The Stockport riots had excited a very strong feeling in the minds of the Catholic popu lation of Cork, and I was very sorry there was an election coming on under the excitement of such feelings. It was for that reason alone I objected to the Protestant school room as a polling place, which had been suggested by Fit:juke, on account of the religious excitement. As far as my own foolioge worn conceived, r would wish Colonel Cbatterton to have succeeded, as I am intimately acquainted with him and his family. I appointed 19 deputies. Ten out of the 19 were conservatives and 9 liberals. At some of the booths there were two conser vative deputies, and at others one of each patty. The no mination day was one of the most peaceable nomination days I ever saw at a contested election. I took care to procure an impartial admission to the Court-house for the friends of each candidate, and I should say that no candi dates could have a fairer opportunity of making speeches than they all had, and I saw a nomination day pans off for 2.5 years more peaceably. I don't know os whom application Mr. Gore Jones (stipendiary magistrate) came down from Dublin. I tint knew of it by finding hie card on my table on the Sucday evening before the election. Up to that time I had no reason to expect any riot. I saw Mr. Gore Jones on the Monday morning (the follow ing day). about 8 o'clock. (The witness read a note he bog esselved the evening Wore the polling day tranden.linossell, commanding caner of the Cork district, in whisk he stated be would have the military ready in their Iserecks is saes they should be required). That was notkiniumare than the ordinary precaution at the approach otas I einem Up to eight o'clock on the morning of the peffiing dig there was no appearance whatever of any riot. r. it said to me to the presence of Mr. Gore Janes, " I Shiloh it fir to tell you--or I think it right Wien iss—l wen% be attain which—that we know before wogs se elope" Mat we shall be beaten." (The witness at bet Odessa to Mate Ibis till the committee decided that he iambi doss, sob was not a privileged or confidential semsessioaties.) This occurred at Lloyd's Hotel, on the miming tiftbe rani day. The witsemlbenissessiled, in reply to farther questions from the harsed onsosel, testate the progress of the elec. tion *miles{ the polling day. He did set we 3,000 men with biassing, ter any number of men, except with the antiwar, Minks whisk they tarry. He never hoard of that till be came to Leedom, and very meek surprised he was when be beard it. He mow se organised mob during the whole electios. He saw so women with boughs of trees, bat he saw them with small breaches of trees. One of the witnesses swore be saw a bludgeon in the kends of one mw formed like the leg of a mahogany table ; he saw me weapon of that sort. Witness beard one of the booths was closed before the proper time in conspeasee of rioting. He jumped into a covered ear and drove off to the plies. Can t tell if there was a placard on the car " Vote for Murphy and Fagan," for he jumped into the first car he could find. He found the booth closed by his deputy, and ke (witness) refused to re open it. There was no rioting when he got there ; there was police and military about, but no rioting. Witness visited every polling-booth hoist the election, and he maw no obstruction what ever the day. There mono complaint made to him in any one instance of obstruction at any of the bootlu, except the one whirl: bed been prematurely closed. That was the booth at Shandon-lane Market. The poll adjourned at five o'clock to the following der. Witness was at the adjourned polling, and saw no obstruction whatever. He made in quiry at all the booths, and there was no complaint what ever of obstruction at any of them, except the one at Shan don-lane Market. Cross-examined by Mr. Seneant Kinglake—He should not consider the last election to have been so bad as previous election,. lie would not all it a ristotts election. lie saw no stones thrown. Affidavits were brought to him that atones had been thrown, and persons injured ; but he did not know of it of his ow n knowledge. Knows what a shillelab is, bat did not see any. Saw no sticks loaded with lead. Heard of one plate-glass window broken, but did not hear' several houses bad been attacked till he heard it took place in the evening, after the polling. He has no recollection of Mr. Fitzsimon re ading over to him an affidavit, calling on him to adjourn the polling on account of rioting. Remembers Mr. k'itssimon made a verbal application to him to that effect, but no affidavit. Mr. Fitssinion said that from what came to his knowledge he knew they would be beaten. He (witness) does not think Mr. Fitzsimon stated at that time be anticipated violence towards Colonel Chatterton's voters. Does not remember that Fitssimon said that many of Colo nel Chatterton's country voters had been kidnapped the' night before, and brought into Cork, and kept drinking there all night. lie might have said so, but 'ribose, does., not remember it. Re-examined by Mr. James—When Mr. Finds's Endo the first complaint about rioting, witness deputed two me. gistrates—one liberal, and one conservative—to go road the booths and examine, and they reported to him that all was going on fairly. At the time he was making inteesie menu tor erecting the booths, there was no sogisedes made to him about " powdered pavement" in the streets. In Ireland they draw a distinction between a riot and a row— a very wide distinction. The examination of this witneu lasted nearly three hours, ' and at its conclusion, it being then close upon four o'clock, the committee adjourned to this morning at 11 o'clock. CRUEL TREATMENT OF A CHILD ST ITS PARENTS. —On Tuesday last William Goss, • journeyman tailor, re siding at Coleford, and Mary Ann his wife, were brought before J. F. Brickdale, Esq., at that place, charged with having, at different times awe Christmas last, beaten and cruelly ill-treated Anne Yarworth, an illegitimate daughter of the female prisoner, born subsequent to the death of her first husband and previous to her marriage with Goss. The poor little child, who is five years old, was Tomtit in emote, sad exhibited a shocking spectacle, being covered witatemande and bruises ; her little feet and legs were a now iltioronds, and were bound up in cotton wool. The asoilmamat in Colsford during the examination and while ' the pdassoes were in custody was great, and had they not Wm we guarded by the police, the people would most geollacore executed " Lynch law " upoa them. The sufferer was unable to stand, and seemed vr&rd as she looked at her cruel parents. The male was committed for trial at the next quarter ses sions fee injuring the child and doing her grievous bodily harm, but his wife was discharged for want of evidence.— ' Glosioulershire Chronicle.

GRoVE.—ACTION TO RECOVER PAY MENT FOR WRITING ♦ LITE OP THE DELI OP WEL LINOTUM. . . . This was an action for work and labour, to which the defendant pleaded never indebted and a set off. Mr. Bramwell, Q C. (with whom was Mr. ?danisty), said that the plaintiff was a student of Lincoln's Inn and the de fendant a I rioter. Shortly after the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington the defendant called upon the plaiutiff and asked him to write a pamphlet life of the duke. lie agreed to do an, but at a subsequent interview the defendant said that so many pamphlets had appeared upon the sub ject that he thought it would be better to bring out a book of about 350 pages. Accordingly the plaintiff set about compiling the work, and completed it alter 12 weeks' h.rd labour. Mr. Grove received it from time to time, and ex pressed himself satisfied with it. No sum was named as the price to be paid for the work, and the present action was brought to reeseer 401., which would be at the rate of about 21. 2s. a sheet. The defendant had paid MI. into court and resisted the payment of the remaining 161. Mr. Temple, for the defendant, contended that the MS. was miscalculated, sad that the amount paid was more than sufficient to satisfy the plaintiff's demand, reckoning it even at 2!. 2e. per sheet. The defendant contended that 32 pages went to a sheet, whereas the plaintiff had calculated a sheet at 16 pages. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 301. This was the last day of the present sittings. COURT OF EXCHEQUER,-Y ESTERDAY. lirrrnms A? U tat Paws AT OVILIMALtr-BrIFOIIIII. BALM MAMA Aim Commos Ram. BLCIWITH O. DAWIIIB.—CONFLICTING TVITIXONT. Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Hawkins were for the plaintiff, Mr. Serjt. Wilkins appeared for the defence. This action was brought to recover the sum of 2.51. 19s for work and labour ; the defendant pleaded never in dehted, payment, and a set-off. The claim was made for alterations in the shop of the defendant, a grocer. In op position to this demand the defendant stated that he had furnished the plaintiff with a chest of about 821 M. of tea, the value of which was more than the amount claimed by the plaintiff. This statement was proved upon the oath§ of the defendant and his shopman, while on the other hand the plaintiff swore that he had never received the tea. Mr. Baron Martin, in leaving the cane to the jury, said it was for them to weigh these adverse statements, and say which side spoke the truth. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 211. Mr. Baron Martin fully concurred in this finding. His lordship regretted that he bad not the power to commit the defendant and his witness, as he believed that they bad been guilty of perjury. Unfortunately there were not two witnesses on the other side who spoke to the particular Tact in dispute, and thus he had no power to order the com• Mr. Woutner--Supposino a bill of exchange to be drawn by a third person against a letter c.f credit which had not been advised, I presume under no circumstances would you pay it. Witness—Decidedly not. Mr. Wontner—You remember the first occasion of the prisoner coming, when he received of you a portion of the 1001. ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontner—He showed you the letter of credit? Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontner—Did you tell him that you would look to your correspondence to see whether you had any advice upon it? NVitness—l do that always. Mr. Wontner—Did you not say to him, " I will look to our correspondence and see whether we are advised upon it ? " Witness—l may have made that remark—it is natural enough. I generally say I will look to the 'deices. Mr. Wontner—Would you take the letter of credit away with you, or would you en his presence look is the ad vice' ? Witness—lt is all publie,whether I take it away or not ; there is no screen. I should, in his presence, look for my letter of advice, and if I found it inspect it. Mr. Alderman Wire—Always in the presence of the party presenting it ? Witness—Yes ; I may say always. Mr. Alderman Wire—No question seems to arise upon that, because the prisoner had not exhausted his letter of credit. Mr. Edward Merewether—l am proprietor of the Albion Hotel, 3, Bridge-street, Illackfriars. On the Bth March the prisoner came to stay at my hotel. He did not give me any name. On the 11th, ho said he should probably dine there. lie returned betweea three and four o'clock in the afternoon, and in a hasty manner ordered his bill, and went away in a esti in a great hurry. Charles Thaue (the officer)—l was at the shop of Messrs. Moses and Son on the afternoon of the 11th March, with Mr. Debenhain ; the prisoner left there in a cab. I followed him in another cab tethe corner of Bridge-street. I there lost sight of him ; that was as near as possible half-putt. I have seen the driver of the cab in which the prisoner went away from Mr. Merewether's hotel. Mr. Rudolph Prommel—l am manager of Messrs. Mon teaux's money-changing o ffi ce, in the Haymarket. On the morning of the 6th March, the prisoner came to our office, and brought about 6701. in Fredericks d'or, Louis d'or, Napoleons, and florins, for which I paid him the sum of 6741. by cheque on Messrs. Ransom and Co., our bankers. I asked him his name ; he replied Louis Oriel, and I wrote it down. He told me that he lived in Commercial-road East. On giving him the cheque, he said he had also about 100 Russian half-imperials, which he brought on the same afternoon, about half-put three o'clock, and for which I gave him another cheque on Messrs. Ransom and Co. for 811/. I accompanied him to the bank, and saw him receive cash for the cheques, amounting to 1,4881. Mrs. Susannah Abbott—l reside at 63, Cambridge-street, Edgeware-road. The prisoner lived in my house from the 15th to the 29th April. He said his name was Permentel. Mr. Mullens—That is the case upon the bill of exchange given by the prisoner to Messrs. Shickler. On a future occasion 1 shall be prepared, on the arrival of Mr. Wilson, who has been sent for from St. Petersburg, to go into the case of bills amounting to 3,8001, also in pursuance of this supposed letter of credit, No. 41. Mr. Alderman Wire—How do you shape your charge, Mr. blasts ? Mr. Mullets—The charge I make against the prisoner is that of attempting, by false pretences, to obtain the sum of 6001. from the Union Bank of London, and I ground that charge in this way—the prisoner goes to the banking house of Messrs. Shiekler at Berlin, and there makes a statement to them, either verbally or in writing, I do not care which, but which is afterwards reduced into writing, and signed by himself, that in pursuance of a certain letter of credit, No. 41, from Messrs. Duncan, Spearman, and Co., he has authority to demand from the Union Bank of London the sum of 6001. He puts that into writing, and signs it. It is a bill of exchange ; it may be a letter or anything, but it is addressed to the Union Bank of London. According to the facts which have come out to-day upon the evidence of Mr. Debenham, I will take it to be sufficiently proved— for the present at all events—that that pretence is wholly without foundation, and that the prisoner at that time had no authority to draw upon the Union Bank of London for 6001. Mr. Alderman Wire—lt is not pretended that he had any authority except that which ho derived from letter of credit No. 41. Mr. Mullens—Precisely so ; and we have proved that the Union Bank had no authority to pay. I suppose my friend is to contend that this pretence was made at Berlin, and therefore is a pretence not within the jurisdiction of the tri buns!' of this country. I presume he will say, that whatever the prisoner did was completed at Berlin ; that the fraud was intended to be committed upon the bankers there, and not upon the Union Bank. Mr. Wontner, in the course of a very able argument, and at considerable length, contended that the prisoner had not been proved to have committed any offence rendering him amenable to the laws of this country, however much he might have transgressed the law at Berlin. Mr. Alderman 'Wire—This is • case of so much import ance both to the commercial world and to the prisoner him self, that I shall remand it in order that I may have time to consider the law as applicable to the case, whether or not I have authority to rend him to trial; because I w old not subject him, • foreigner, to the ignominy of a trial unless I thought • conviction would follow. Therefore I shall remand the case for a week, which will enable Mr. Wontner, who says he has not had time to look into the cases, to make himself better acquainted with the state of the law, so as to shake, if he can, the impression which I have, that the prisoner must be committed for trial. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Gabriel Sans Carnal, who has been in custody for some days upon a charge of having uttered a forged letter of credit, by increasing the sum of 2101. to 5,2101 , was again brought up in custody of Thane, the detective officer, and placed at the bar, before Alderman Wire, for further exami nation. _ _ _ Mr. ilulleas said, that on the former occasion, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, he had charged the prisoner with unlawfully attempting to obtain, by false pretences, from the Union Bank of London, the sum of five hundred pounds; that he had shown his friend, Mr. Wontner, a copy of the depositions which were then taken, but thought it desirable that the evidence should be read over, as it would be necessary to put to Mr. Debenham a few addi tional questions. Mr. Debenham was then called, and his former depo- sitions having been read, he was further examined as follows:—The letter of credit, number 41, was in favour of the prisoner, Gabriel Sans Gurat. The whole amount I paid him was 1001. I produce the cheques which the pri soner signed for the 1001. I saw him sign these cheques. I have my letter of advice from New York. 1 filled up the cheques produced for the prisoner to sign. Each of these cheques purports to be drawn against Messrs. Duncan and Shearman's letter of credit, No. 41. Before I paid any money upon that. letter of credit I com pared it with my letter of advice, with which it cone sponded. The Union Bank have paid upon the order of Gabriel Sans Garret the whole of the 2101. mentioned in that letter of credit. I produce the bills drawn by the pri soner against that letter of credit, amounting, with the three cheques, to 2101. I saw him sign the three cheques. There are five bills. I believe the signature to these bills, " Gabriel Sans Garret," to be the signature of the same person who signed the cheques. The dates are as follow : Berlin, 4th January, 1863, 251. ; Berlin, 6th January, 10/. ; St. Petersburg, 18th January, 401 ; Moscow, 17th January, 261. ; Moscow, 24th January, 101. All these bills upon the face of them purport to be drawn against Duccan and Shearman'a letter of credit, No. 41. When I paid the 100!. I returned the letter of credit to the prisoner. Mr. Woatner—The letter of credit is exhausted, is it not ? _ . Witness—lt is. Mr. Wontner—Supposing you had paid the 2101. instead of the 1001. ; what should you have done with the letter of credit ? Should you hantlept it ? Witness—The instructions to correspondents are for the party paying the last amount upon the list of credit to de kin it. _ _ Mr. Wontner—And yon would have lone the ume, of course, if you had paid the whole amount of the credit ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontner—You have only seen one letter of credit? Witness—Only one in favour of Gabriel Bans Garrat's credit—that was a letter of credit for 2101. Mr. Wontner—Has that letter of credit been through the hands of one of your correspondents ? Witness—ft hu been through the hands of A. Mare and Co., of Moscow, who are the correspondents of Duncan, Sbearman, and Co., of New York. Mr. Mullen—lf, when Merin. Mare and Co. saw that letter of credit, it purported to be for a larger sum than 2101., they would not nave detained it ? Witness—No. Mr. Mullens—But would have given it back to the person ' who presented it to them Witness—Yes. - _ - Mr. Mullein—Have you received any advioe from Mews. Duncan, Bhearman, and Co. to pay money to Gabriel Sans Garret except that letter of credit No. 41 ? Witness—Never. _ _ _ Kr. Alderman Wire—ls it the custom of those who issue these letters of credit to advise all the correspondents, or only the Union Bank? Witness—Only our own bank. lik;.Aldermiiii Wire—Then the parties on the Continent to whom that letter is addressed would not see the advice as to the amount.___Witnef—No. Mr. Alderman Wire—They would only see what was to be advanced nom the letter of credit itself. Witness— Yes. Mr. Mullen. said he would now proceed to examine wit nesses upon the subject of the Berlin bill. M. Alexis Maratha's: was then sworn and ex amined through an interpreter, as follows: I am 'in the service of Messrs. Shickler Brothers, bankers, at Berlin. On the 2nd March last the prisoner was at our bank; I am quits sure he is the parson. Messrs. Shickler and Co. are the correspondents of Messrs. Duncan, Shuman, and Co., of New York. They pay money upon Meters. Duncan, Shearman, and Co.'s general letters of credit against bills of exchange drawn upon the Union Bank of London. On the 2nd March the prisoner received from Messrs. Shiekler the sum of 5001. sterling against the bill now produced. I saw the prisoner sign the bill, which is dotal Berlin, 2nd March, 1853, for 5001., upon the Union Bank of London, to the order of Messrs. Shickler Brothers, on account of Music. D. end Co.'s letter of credit, No. 41, and it is signed Ga briel Sans Garret. I did not see the letter of credit which is referred to in the bill. The money was paid to the pri soner upon the faith alibis bill, which is filled up by one of Messrs. Shickler's junior clerks, named Schulte, except the signature. According to the practice of our bank, the letter of credit would be shown to Mr. Schultz, who would not make out a bill of exchange for a larger sum than the letter of credit. I make the bill out according to the in structions I get from the principal. The letter of credit would be delivered to Mr. Schultz by the cashier, in order that he might endorse upon it the amount of money paid. The prisoner remained on the day in question in the presence of one of the principals and myself, at the hack; the money was brought into that room and paid to the prisoner, and there the prisoner signed the bill before receiving the money. The first endorsement is by Mr. Shickler to Mr. Drury, the manager at Berlin of the Imps . vial Continental Gas Association. ?dr. Wootaer—ls it the practice of the hotuo to keep a copy of the letter of credit ? Witnesa—No. . . _ Mr. Isaac Walton—l am clerk to the Imperial Conti nental Gas Association at their offices, No. 7, White Hart court, Lombard-street. Mr. Leonard Drory is the manager of the Association at Berlin. The signature L. Drory, upon the bill produced is in Mr. Drory's handwriting. The directors of the Association endorsed the bill to Messrs. Spooner, Attwood and Co. Mr. W. M. Holmes—l am clerk to Messrs. Overend, Gurney and Co. On the Sth of March last, I was in the service of Mr. George Michael Harrison, a notary. On that day I, on behalf of Messrt Spooner, Attwood and Co., presented the bill produced to the Union Bank of London, when the answer I received was, " the credit, No. 41, against which this bill is drawn, is all paid." Mr. Debenham recalled: Mr. Wontner—You stated that you only pay upon these letters of credit when you have received advice from Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co. Witness—Yes. 14;.Wentneri-Not till you have received advice. Witness—We should not dishonour their signature although we had not received advice. Mr. Wontner—But supposing a letter of credit bad been issued appsrently by Messrs. Duncan, Showman and Co., and you had received no advice when it was presented, should you not defer until you had received advice ? Witness—That would be a ease for nur discretion ; it would not be in the ordinary course of business; but such a case has never occurred. ----- Mr. Womner—You have never paid any of Messrs. Dun can, F Spearman, and Co.'s letters of credit till you have re ceived advice from them? Witaess—No. REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. Moot the Mark Lace Bairns.) BRITISH. Very little improvement has taken place in the weather since our last. The temperature has been and con tinues more like March than May ; the nights have been exceedingly cold, and the days dull and cheerless. That the long continuance of ungenial weather should have given rise to a feeling of uneasiness respecting the future can create no surprise ; indeed, it may be regarded as rather singular that it should thus far have had so little effect, more especially as the seuons throughout have been of an unfavourable character. _ _ . We need scarcely remind our readers of the difficulties which farmers experienced during the autumn in getting the seed into the ground. On heavy clay lands the work was rendered impossible, and large breadths remained tin- WWII till the spring. During the month of March a great quantity of rain fell, and in April there was again an ex cams of wet. May commenced auspiciously ; but after a few warm bright days, the wind went .to the eastward, and there has since been a total want of that genial warmth so much needed at this period to bring vegetation forward. The wheat plant, being naturally of a very hardly charac ter, may perhaps have received no material injury ; but it has certainly gone back in appearance, and does not at pre sent wear so healthy an aspect as it did a few weeks age. In many localities the blade has changed colour, having as mimed a jellowish hue ; this in May is generally considered ' an unfavourable sign, and it is tolerably certain that it will need an unusually auspicious summer to insure a moderately good harvest. That this state of affairs would, under ordinary circum stances, have led to more or less excitement, and some rise in prices, is highly probable ; but any disposition which may have been entertained to enter into speculative invest ments has been checked by the extent of the foreign sup plies. Week after week, for months past, we have had large arrivals off the coast from the Mediterranean and Black Sea ports; these receipts prevented anything like scarcity being experienced during the winter, when the northern ports of Europe were closed by toe. Latterly we have, in addition, received good supplies from the Baltic ; and buyers have now become so accustomed to an excess of supply over demand, that they cannot realise the idea of a contrary state of things. Few are, therefore, inclined to purchase beyond what they require for immediate use. Future contingencies are but little regarded, so long as no present scarcity is felt ; and though it is universally acknowledged that the prospects for the next harvest are not by any means promising, the hand to-mouth system of buying is inelost cases strictly adhered to. Meanwhile a very 'arise consumption of brea d is taking Place in all parts of the kingdom ; and to provide for this we shall probably require to import at the rate of half a million of quarters per month in wheat and flour from this time up to b . The wheat trade has assumed a somewhat firmer tone at al of the leading provincial markets in the north. Letters from Liverpool state that stocks have not accumu lated there materially, the demand having been sufficiently active to take off the greater portion of the foreign arrivals. The dull advice* from Mark-land failed, therefore, to pro duce much influence, and fine American white wheat rose Id. to 2d. per 701bs. on Tuesday. Subsequently the firmness of holders increased, and, a further small advance being insisted on, but there was not so much doing on Friday as earlier in the week. By the most recently received advicte from Scotland, it appears that the weather bad been even more ungenial in that part of the kingdom than with us. The discouraging accounts fro n the south respecting the trade, and the arri val of a c-nsiderablo number of wheat-laden vessels from continental ports, had, however, kept down prices; and though great firmness was exhibited both at Edinburgh and Glasgow on Wednesday, quotations remained the same as on that day se'nnight. In Ireland the value of breadstuffs seems to have been better supported than might have been expected, consider ing the large arrivals which haso taken place there from the Black Sea ports. Indian corn had rather risen than re ceded in value. Oats hod not come to hand very freely; but the decline on this side had had some effect, and the article had therefore become rather easier to buy. We are inclined to think that some quantity of outs is at present on passnge from Ireland, which the first shift of wind to the west ward will bring to hand. We have had another very quiet week at Mark-lane. Small as the supplies of home-grown wheat have been— only 3,200 qrs. having been reported during the week end ing this (Saturday) evening—they have proved quite suffi cient to satisfy the demand, which has been of a strictly retail character. The show on Wednesday consisted of what had remained unsold the previous market day—viz , a few runs from Essex and Kent. The millers acted very cautiously, but the business done was at terms quits equal to those current in the beginning of the week. Since then the firmness of factors has rather increased, but the demand hos not been sufficiently active to admit of any improvement being established; prices remained precisely the same on Friday as before. We base not had many offers from Lin colnshire, the east coast shim', re continuing to prefer the northern markets to coasign to. The arrivals of wheat from abroad have been on • liberal scale, 32.800 qrs. hiving come to hand. l'art of this supply has gone direct ti the millers, who have conse• quently had the less occasion to come into the market to buy ; and having had little country inquiry, insperters have found it difficult to effect sales to any extent from on board snip : many seem disposed to land rather than give way, and there hail been no particular anxiety to press sales. Fair qualities of red wheat have not been offered below 480., and for fine parcels 60a. per quarter has been firmly insisted on. Au improved inquiry has sprung up for floating cargoes of Black Sea wheat arrived off the coast, and purchases are said to have been made for Belgian account. The prices realised have been about Is. per qr. higher then those at which sales were forced last week; 36a. 3d. has been paid for Polish Odessa, 375. for Odessa Ghirks, and 425. per qr. ter Marianopoli wheat. There are still about a dozen arrived cargoes undisposed of, though the sales have been rather huge during the week. We have no change to report in the value of town-made floor. Ship samples have in some eases been parted with at slightly reduced terms. For American flour the inquiry has rather improved; the transactions were not exteusive either on Wednesday or Friday, but late rates were more easily realised, and it was partly owing to the fact that holders were disposed to raise their pretensions that sales were not mote important. Barley of home growth has come to hand very sparingly ; and this grain is evidently scarce in all parts of the king dom. The few lots which have appeared since Monday have realised the terms then current; but in the absence of supplies, quotations must be regarded as in some measure nominal. From abroad we have had fair arrivals ; but the scarcity of English has rendered foreign saleable at the full terms of last week, 30e. per qr. having been paid for good Pommeranian and similar sorts. The transactions in malt have been on a retail scale, and its value has undergone no change requiring notice. The arrivals of oats coastwise have been small ; :but 17,977 qrs. from Ireland, and 24,880 qrs. from abroad, have prevented anything like scarcity being felt. The supply altogether bas been somewhat larger than calculated on : the dealers, having lately bought rather freely, have shown no disposition to follow up their purchases. On Wednes day the trade was by no means lively, and on Friday it was difficult .to obtain previous prices for secondary qualities. Should a pause now take place in the supplies, we should probably have no further giving way ; but the market is evidently not in a position to stand further large arrivals. The few small lots of English beans which have come forward have sold at about previous terms. Egyptian have been held firmly. In peas nothing of interest ha a transpired, and quota tions have remained nominally unaltered. A steady business has been done in Indian corn; and of the twenty-six cargoes arrived, only a couple remain un sold. Prices have remained much the same as they were last week. SHIPPING INTIILLIGSNOS.

The advices from the Balticatre not of much inte rest this week ; very little variation appears to have taken place in prices of wheat in that quarter, and the trans. actions seem to have been on a comparatively retail grade. The latest accounts from Dantzic inform us, however, of the arrival out of a large number of Teasels ; and as many of these would require grain cargoes, more activity was looked for. The shipments of Wheat to Great Britain from the Ist of January to the 33th of April had amounted to only 20,433 qrs. The weather had been wet, which had rendered it difficult to work grain in the open air so as to bring it into condition fit for shipment. The last charters closed bad been at 4s. 41d. to 4s. 3d. per qr. for London, and one or two vessels had been taken for the east coast at Ss. 61. From Konigsberg we learn that holders of wheat had remained exceedingly firm, the supplies brought forward from the interior having scarcely sufficed to satisfy the demand. The weather had been very cold, and vegetation was unusually backward. Good red wheat had not been offered below 42,. per qr. free on board, and for fine mixed 465. per qr. had been asked. At Stettin, on Monday, there was a lively inquiry for wheat to complete the cargoes of vessels loading for British ports, and prices were the turn against the buyer. The de liveries from the farmers had Wean to fall off, and stocks in granary were not by any means heavy. The weather bad continued cold, and fears were entertained in regard to the rye crop. The advice, from Rostock are much the same in effect as from the last-named place. Fine qualities of wheat had become scarce, and had rather risen in value, in the face of the dull English accounts. The growing rye was said to have suffered from the ungcnial character of the weather, a circumstance which had tended to increase the firmness of holders of wheat, and for choice qualities as much as 455., and even 461. per qr., free on board, had been asked. At the near continental ports some effect has been pro duced by the discouraging tone of the English advice+, but no actual decline appears to have been submitted to. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, wheat was dull of sale; prices were, however, much the same as before, say 445. to 445. W. per qr., free on board, for Goi to 61 lbs. red Upland on the spot, and 465. Gd. for fine heavy Warhen. There had been offers from Lower Baltic ports at 421. Gd. to 43.. per qr. free on board. Tha transactions in other articles had not been extensive; geed 53 lbs. Danish barley had been offered at equal to 235. 3d., and 39 lbs. Jutland oats at 15s. Gd. per qr. free on board. In the Dutch markets little change appears to have taken place. Wheat was not cheaper at Rotterdam on Monday than on that day week ; indeed, white Zealand was rather in improved request, a few orders to purchase having been received from Belgium. The reports from the last named country respecting the rye and coleteed crops are very unfavourable, great mischief having been done in various parts by heavy snow. At Antwerp, on Thursday, wheat was in good request, and commanded very full price,. The accounts from France describe the wheat trade as firm ; and at Paris, on Wednesday, flour was lf. per sack dearer than on that day week. From the Mediterranean we have nothing new to com municate ; the few letters which have reached us from thence this week state that business had remained quiet, and that quotations had not varied. From the more distant ports on the Black Sea the accounts are also of a subdued tone. A letter from Galatz, of the 28th ult., isforms us that fine qualities of wheat had become very scarce, but good supplies were expected in May; hence buyers had held off, preferring to wait for the anticipated arrivals. Freight to United Kingdom was 12s. 6d. per qr. The latest advice, from America state that prices of flour had rather tended upwards. COTTON.-LtvEnxcrox, Max 16.-The market closed very firmly, and compared with the price cut rent last week, prices of all descriptions are full. The sales amount to 8,000 bales-1,000 fir export and 1,500 on speculation. 200 Perna= and Maranhams, 6} to 6j ; 200 Bahia, 6} to 61 ; 300 Egyptian, f 4 ; 600 Surata, 3} to 41. CORN.-Conx, May 13.-No new feature to notice in the Corn trade the put week ; the same dulness we had oc casion to remark on for some One put still exists. Farmers' Wheat in short supply. Prices remain without change. Barley still looking down, and 3d. lower. Oats firm at last week's rates, say 10s. to 100. 2d. for black, 10s. 44. to lls. white. Some sales of prepared Oats were made in the early part of the week from outports at 10s. 3d. to 10s. 41d. f.o.b. for black; and 10s. 6d. for white. Sellers now require a trifle more, which buyers firmly resist. We have again a large supply of foreign Wheat. Prime descriptions are 6d. lower; inferior sorts, Is. We quote Muianople, 241. to 245. 6d. ; Egyptian, 19s 6d. to 20s. for Saide ; 17s. 6d. to 18s. for Bahiera. Indian Corn ss. lower for Galati, and 2s. Gd. for Ibrail and other sorts, price of the former 71. 12a. 6d., for the latter, 71. 61. to 71. 7.. 6d. Flour 3d. per cwt. lower ; best Marianople firsts offering at 141. Oatmeal firm at former rates. Indian Meal 20.64. per ton cheaper. The receipts of native produce to the corn market during the week have been-Wheat, 70 brls. ; Barley, 154 ; Oats, 1,232. • CATTLE.—CoLciutstml, May 14.—There was a plenti ful supply of stock, and sales were rather easier then on this day se'nnight, but the trade was very far from brisk, as the dealers still hold out for the late high prices; conse quently the sales were very limited compared with former weeks. The opinion still gains ground that prices must yield. There was a good show of Pigs, and last week's prices were fully supported.
