In all these caws the jury were bound to look for a motive for each a crime, and in erdutary cease It was shown that the motive was to obtain some large perealsry benefit. What, however, was the cam in the present instance.` thateed of making any profit by the firm he submitted that it wee quite clearly established by the evidence for the prosecution that, Mated of being spina, the prisoner would have been a serious loser. All ha could, seder any circumetesom, have received from the Ineursace-office would have been 30(11., and it had been proved that hs had bees offered 130/. for hie bailers, and there could be no doubt that he had at least 2501. worth of property actually destroyed in the dm, so that, mated of reaping any advantage, he must have been a serious loser. A greet deal of stress had been laid upon the removal of a small portion of the property, bat he urged there was nothing to show that the prisoner's statement of his having let his businsai was not true, and that his only desire was to take what he called " breakables" from his boas before his removal, in order that they might not is destroyed. Even suppling, however, he had re moved this proterty, where was the evidence of fraudukat intention, when it was admitted that there was a much larger quantity of property actually destroyed than was covered by the insurance? He then •laid the attention of the jury to the period when the offence was alleged to have been COGII• mitted, sad asked them whether it sus likely ilea • men who contemplated the ronoviimiiio of such a crime should have charm the petted just when his wife had been da nced, sad when he must have been well *were that any sudden alarm would in all probability prove fatal to her. He then proceeded to argue that the theory put forward by the firemen, that the fire must necessarily have corumeacid in the cellar, ought not to be implicitly relied upon and he at the same time said that, even if the jury should be of opinion that it was &correct one, it wee not at all impossible that, if the fire commenced in the shop, some sparks should have fallen upon the straw in the cellar, and thus have produced the same result. The learned serjeant concluded a most able speech by calling upon the jury to dismiss the prisoner from the bar, certainly not without haring suffered pain, sepia, and agony, but! at all event, free from the imputation of being guilty of a cri:be of this dreadful description. A great number of highly respectable witnesses were then examined, all of whom described the prisoner a being a re marketly Wad and affectionate man, and apparently devotedly attached to his wife and children. Boron Meath then proceeded to sum up the ease, and at a quarter to seven o'clock the jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict. They returned into court at a quarter peat seven. mid gave a verdict of Not There wee • bunt of applause when the verdict was pro nounced, which wee with some difficulty suppressed by the officers. fierjesat Tarry laid them was • charge of misdemeanour against the pritionee, arising out of the mum transaction, the edance imputed to him tieing that of endeavouring to obtain morwy from the insurance elfin' by making • Glee claim.

At nine o'cloek yesterday morning I watched the house No. 9, Thane-place, Lewistiamroad, and saw the prisoner leave It about five in the afternoon, when I followed him a short way, and told him I was a polies-offher, and bad orders to apprehend him for obtaining a quantity of comma of Messrs.

I said, ' I believe lam not mistaken." He replied • What did you say the canvas wee " I repeated I what had previously told him, and he replied, "I know nothing at all about any canvas, and do not know the name of Russell. He than told me that be would take me to some respectable tradesmen in Lewisham, who knew him well, for the purpose of showing me that I was mistaken. He men tioned a Mr. Booth, • groom, and a Mr. Burton, but they told me that they had known him only a short time. He then asked me to accompany him to his house, which I did, and he then put • card in his pocket. I then took him to the railway station, and while waiting for the train he produoed the card, and showed it to me, and mid, " I am the men you want, but there is no fear about the tranasction.

He was introdsoad to me by our salesman as John Constable. I inquired of these firms, and when the prisoner afterwards called upon me I communicated to him the result of my inquiries, namely, that I could sell to his only for cash. I said I believed his to be honest and industrious, but poor, and that if the per ms to whom he sold the goods should be unable to pay him he would not he able to pay us. He said there was Do risk —that the name was for a ship in the docks., that we should have a Bon ups the ship, and that he himself was to be paid by an order from the captain of the ship upon hie brokers ce owner*. I said I would sell the oatmeal conditions, rely ing upon the truth of his statement, and that be would tall ma themine of the vessel, and hand to me the captain's order upon the broker or owners for collection, our firm accounting for morphia.

A few days after that the prisoner again called and asked nee to send the remaining sixteen bolts to the same place, and I did so. He mid that any note addressed to him at Bathes and Ciespeep's would fled him. I believed he required the canvas for a mit of sails for the Mary Ann, then lying in the cloaks, and ft was upon that ground solely that I gave him meth kw the goods, the vales of which was 761. 113 e. 6d.

NARROW ESCAPE PROM DROWNINO.—OR Tues day night police-constable Kendall, 318 R, was miring Blackheath, end when near the Hare and Billet publio house heard the sound of what be considered to be a dog swimming in a pond opposite the above house.

On stooping, however, at the edge of the pond. the first thing that attracted his attention INS the bonnet of a female floating on the surface of the water, and without stopping to divest himself of his heavy clothing be immediately MC ceeded in getting to the spot where the bonnet was, and laid bold of a female as she wee about sinking.

THE WESTERN BANK.—Lord Ordinary Kinloch has leaned an interlocutor and note in We ease. The cats plainer resisted a demand made by the liquidators under a voluntary winding up of the hank, for the second instalment of a call or contribution of 251. per share, neormary to dis charge the debts of the concern. The complainer was charged with this call as a holder of forty shares. The Lord Ordinary sees no reason to consider the liquidator., under this voluntary winding up, to have any higher rights against the complainer than belonged to the company heat; end be has viewed the question es substantia between the company and the compiniuer, an alleg e partner. It appears that the complainer purchased the shares in ques tion in October. 1857, a few weeks before the beak stopped payment. He bought them in two parcels of twenty shores each. It has not been maintained by the complainer that the shares were other than the tree property of the parties selling them. He has also not averred that any fraud or misrepresentation was practised in the transaction b 7 the seller,. The case (observe. the Lord Ordinary) is the ample one of shame in a joint-stock company sold and bought daring the subsistence of the company by parties equally in good faith. The Lord Ordinary's cencluron is, that what ever other remedy may be open to the complainer he is not entitled to resist the call made by the liquidator,. MR. SFURCIRON ON SUNDAY TRAFFIC AND CHINO LISIL—In the course of • lecture at Exeter Hall o Tuesday night, Mr. Spurgeon made some remarks in rehmeoe to Suedsy traffic and the prevailing fashion in Indies dram.

Again, Christian men were too con , forceable to the world. He liked to look bock to the time when the Christian we. known by the cat of his mat and his brogue. He did not gn in for the tt broodbeim," but be *fluid rather dress himself that way than he would wear the things some men did ; and he would rather see his aMters in Christ habited as the Quakers, than they should magnify, silage, and increase theinselves se they now did.

In January wilted River Plate hides reached their minimum quotation of the year, 60., and almost all other ankles met a corresponding decline ; some reaction almost immediately followed, but, excepting for River Plate hides, it I wee not long maintained. In April Rio Grande hides wen sold at their lowest point, 4p1., and our quotations of May show a further reduction in many articles. A large export demand, chiefly for the United flutes, combined with tn. armed confidence on the pen of the home man now assisted the market, Mocks became much seduced,Z continuously avenging prices were realised for almost all vii. elm until the month of October; since which period the tee. dewy ham been downward. • • We must express oar on . victim from the present comparatively small stocks of no goods, the absence of any accumulation of the manufactured attic e, its higher value in most other countries, and its favourable condition for consumption which our own country pmments, that we have in prospect an active demand, and we hope also—with an adjustment of existing discrepancies in the relative value of acme articles in the raw and tamed Mate—a remunerstive trade for the manufacturer. TM leather trade of the past month has been exceedingly mall, but towards its close more disposition to purchase was mad hated. Calf skins have been much in requiem, portioned, three of light weights. In raw goods the most important feature has been the wile, dating the past month, of 22,919 gaited River Plate, and 17,000 Rio Grande hide., chiefly at prices slightly below our extreme quotations. At Leaden hall, yesterday, there was not a large supply of fresh leather, and a considerably increased business was transacted.— (Prom the circular of Messrs T. J. end T. Powell.) COALS. - LONDON.
