This me* came on on adjourned summon from chambers, 1 the question fur the decision of the court being the legiti macy of Mrs. Elizabeth barker, the question arising nailer the following singular circumstances. Mrs. Dewey 's husband, who was a linendraper, residing at Swinefieet, some 25 miles from York, became insane io 1833, and was removed to a lunatic asylum in York. In 1837, while the husband was still in the asylum ' lire. !lousy gave birth to a daughter (subsequently Mrs. Barker), who was baptised as being the child of Mr. and Mn. Bonny, and lived with her mother until her She had children, and Ina sines died. She was entitled under a will to certain pro perty as the child of Mr. and Mrs. Homey, but in the event of there being no child of Mr. and Mrs. Bowe; the property went to other persons. Those persons disputed her legitimacy, and consequently the claim of her children to the property, on the ground that while Mr. Bosomy was in the lunatic asylum he was living separate from his wife, and that he could not have bad amen to her. In favour of the legitimacy the evidence of Mrs. Bosse; bad been taken, and that of the nurse who at tended her in her cootioement, and who proved that she re membered her going to York to visit her husband. On the other hand. Mr. Ellis, the euperiutendent of the asylum, and several of the keepers, had made affidavit that, bythe regu lations of the establishment, Mrs. Boesey could not have seen her husband except in the presence of one of the keepers, and that there were special orders given iu this case that Mrs. house; should not be left alone with her husband. The Vice-Chancellor said a child born of •married woman was presumed to be legitimate. The law respected mud supported the legitimacy of such a child, though it did not prevent any person from disputing the legitimacy ; but the onus probandi warn thrown entirely on the person so disput ing it. Lord Mensfield said the general law was that a child born of • married woman was to be presumed to be the child of the husband, unless there was such evidence as must leave no doubt that the child was not the child of the husband. Sir John Leach said, ' The evidence to repel the presumption most be clear and satiefactory ;" and Lord Lyndhurst said, " The evidence for the purpose of repelling the presumption must bsstrong, distinct, satisfactory, and conclusive." His Honour then proceeded to state the facts of the ease as given above, and said the asylum was situate ' at the soda • long avenue, at theentrance to which there was • gate, which, except at nights, was not always kept locked, and it appeereol that the inhabitant/ of York were accustomed to use this avenue as a promenade, and that Mr. Hooey, whose delusion was of a harm less kind, was often in this avenue. Evideoce had been given that there were rumours of Mn. Boseey's infidelity to her husband, but be did not attach much credit to them. Indeed the rumours might have arisen from the inquiries set on foot by the parties who were interested in her having no children. He thought the evidence was not strong enough to leave no doubt that the husband was not the father of the child, and therefore he mule to the conclusion that Elisabeth Barker was the 'aptitude child of Mr. and Mn. Balmy. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—FEB. 25. altioap at Nisi Who at Guildhall.—(Before the Lord C 'lug Justice Cockburn ands Special Jury.) LEDGEII r. Tide was AO action for libel. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a Justification on the ground of its truth. Mr. M. Chamber., Mr. Hawkioe, Mr. B. Rigby, and Mr. Macnamara were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Berjeset Shoe, Mr. Serjelot Ballantine, and Mr. Milnard conducted the case for the defence. Mr. M. Chambers, in his opening, said the plaintiff, Mr. Frederick Ledger, the proprietor and editor of the Bra newspaper, brought this action against Mr. Benjamin Webster, the proprietor of the Adelphi Theatre, to recover compensation in damages for a libel calculated to injure himself personally and diminish the circulation and plats of that tewspaper. On the 2nd September, there ap. peered at the top of the playbill of the Adelphi a note to this effect The advertisement of Mr. Toole's benefit that appeared ca Saturday, August 24, in Mr. Frederick Ledger's paper, was unauthorised by the manage ment, or any one consected with this establishment, either directly or indirectly. It is a gnituitons insult on the part of this very low-minded person to mi.- lead the public and the prolesaioe. The insertion was for. bidden, both by Mr. TooU and myealf, and it shows to what pitiful resources this journal is obliged to noon in giving free advertisement, and puffs at saps's» praline to maintain its limited circulation." This was Swanned libel, and the learned eouusel challenged the defendant to show that the advertisement had been inserted without the consent of Mr. Toole. In his pleas the defendant reasserted that the plaintiff was • " lowmioded person," and said he was so because, for money, he inserted in his papereadvertisements stag where improper books and manta could be pur hli. That was a very extraordinary defence to set up, as even some of the beet and most respectable newspapers and publications published advertisements of that kind, which were sent to them is the regular course of business • bet although Mr. Webster made this accusation. he (the learned amuse!) found from one of the Adelphi that a piece was performed there entitled the ' f'retty Horsebreaker, which was not quite consistent with the high moral toes which he assumed. The evidence of several printers and publishers was then given to show that the libel was calculated to injuriously affect the circulation and advertising connexion of the paper. Upon cross-examination they admitted that the 'dyer- Camel:dm complained of were not such as they would insert in a newspaper, although they were to be found in some re spectable journals. Mr. Serjeant Shee addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. _ _ _ — fie following evidence was then adduced : Mr. Benjamin Webster, the defendant, said—l have been • member of the theatriCal profession nearly 50 years. I lime been in the habit of inserting advertisemente in the Era newspaper. For many years of my life I have been interested is a project for the formation of a Dramatic Collage for actors and extrema in reduoed circumstances, and for the education of their children. The articles in the Era against our fancy fairs were abrades, and unsolved after the last fair at the Crystal to express a wish to my company that they should not advertise in that Dews paper, and stopped the advertisements of the theatre. The faiey fairs were properly conducted. We had an imitation of Richardson'. broth, which was the most profitable part of the entertaiomeate. There wee fortune-telling, and photographs of the principal actors and minima were sold. Mrs. Stirling sod other celebrated actresses presided at the stalls. There was no thimblwrig gift, and nothing like it. When I saw Mr. Toole'eadver tieerneet in the Era I requested my acting stagemianager to take • letter from me to Mr. Ledger, desiring him to dis continue the advertisement. It. however, again appeared, and I sent him again to Mr. Ledger witho ut a letter, but with a request that he would not again publish it, (Mr. William Smith, the acting manager, was called and proved this.) As the plaintiff oontinued to publish the advertise ment, I bad placed the paragraph in question at the head of the play bills. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—Before sending the prohibition to Mr. Ledger, I had inserted advertisements in the Era almost from it. commencement. I was never on very friendly terms with the plaintiff. but I have dined at the name table with him at the Cafe de l'EuroPe, and per haps at some other place., but never in mi. vats. Yeomen of theatres deal largely in miffs. We are obliged to excite the public. (Laughter.) I was myself unfortunately ones a newspaper proprietor. There were advertisements soliciting contributions for the Aunt Sallies, Cheep Johns, and knock-em-downs. Mr. Buck , stone and other gentlemen were to attend to the knock , em-downs. (Laughter.) They were not dressed in cha meter. They went as geoids...li in morning dress. One CAL: lad a Cheap Jack, but the next year we had Done, Richardson. s Show was more attractive. We bad a cart reedy, but we did not use it. Mr. Toole was to be the Cheap John. (Laughter.) The members of the Savage Club performed in the hnoth a burlesque of their own writing. There are about 700 Adelphi bills issued for the week. There was a second bill issued on the Wednesday for Mr. Toole's benefit, but it did not contain the paragraph about Mr. Ledger. The paragraph was continued is the bills main two nights before the clam of the meson. I meant, by Raying that I would post Mr. Ledger, that be was no gentleman, and • coward. This act was a cowardly me. as I had so means of redrew. I did sot seek redrew in the columns of the Sunday Tinice. _ Mr. John Laurence Tools was next examined. He said —Mr. Webster said to me. "Of course you won't advertise in the Era, as I have withdrawn my iulvertisemeets." I told my bcuther to advertise my benefit as usual, except in the Era. I afterwards saw my advertisement in that newspaper, much longer than that I sent to the other newspapers. It was a copy of the handbill, and oontaioed details about the prices and other matters which I would not Lave inserted. Is gave no instructions to have it in mated in the Era. 1 heard that Mr. Ledger was annoyed at my not advertising, sad I Galled upon him to explain. He said be was surprised I had not advertised in his paper, as I had always done so before. I said, " The fact ia, Mr. Webster hes withdraws his advertisement, and it would offend him to see hie theatre advertised in the Era," eonsequeetly I can't help it ; sad I must decline to advertise. I have so rearm to °Sad Mr. Webster. He said it did not matter to es% ben ear I was independent of Mr. Webster, as I could get as engagement anywhere else. I think be mentioned Druydane, and some other theatres. When I said it would offend Mr. Webster to see hie adver tisement in the paper, he replied, " Oh, will it Next week I saw the long edvertioement I have mentioned. I called at the office, and saw • clerk, who said that the ad vertisement was not paid far. Mr. Ledger was absent, bat I wrote to him, requesting him to keep out the advertise ment from all subsequent editions. It however appeared Maio.

Mr. Graves, a lettoroarrier, presided, he having been called upon to do so by show of hands. Mr. Tilley, the secretary to the committee, in a long best teniperste speech set forth the inequalities and injustice of the present system of claseitication, and tie deceptive nature of the so-called remedied measures adopted up to the present time. The scale of wage* issued in Tun, he contended fell far short of the just requirements of the men, while then. did not appear to be any hope of an iucreass therein, or of a satisfactory arrangement being entered into either by the officers of the department or the Treasury. He would move, therefore, to the effect, that it is the opinion of this meeting that nothing short of a porhoneutary inquiry would remedy the evil, mud that the meeting agree to support the open nate., iu ,irryiog the issue into effect.

(Laughter.) Mr. Paul Bedford was then called. His appearance ex. cited considerable merriment, which increased as the well known comedian, on entering the box, gracefully bowed, first to the learned judge, then to the jury, and lastly to the audience. Mr. Serjeant Bellautine asked if be took the part of the fair Jerome in the drama performed in ktichardson's show at the Crystal Palace! (Laughter.)

Mt.SerjealTiiitallantine—l am now, Mr. Bedford, going to ask you a delicate question. Did a bottle of champagne conclude the interview! Witness—Most decidedly. (Laughter.) I must, however, beg to promise that being early in the morning it was only • pint bottle. (Laughter.) Mr. Serjeaat Ballantine—Was the entertainment at the Cr Palace conducted with perfect propriety? Crystal Witness--Yes • my petticoats were very long, I assure you. (Roars of heighten) Cross-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—The interview at Mr. Ledger's office Listed a quarter of an hour, and it was friendly sad good-natured. Mr. Ledger said to Mr. Toole he would be glad to insert his alvertisements for nothing. Did you have a pint of clounpegne to yourself ? Witness—No. Surely you did not have • pint between three ? Witness—Only • pint. Then you called for another? Witness—No. It was lunch.= time, between 2 and 3. Th• and recollect. Witness—l sometimes luxuriate in champagne, but on this occasion I think it was not more than • pint. They mill it a pint., but it is only about half a pint. (Laughter.) What. half a pint between three? Surely you must have forgotten. (Laughter.) The witting then left the box amidst much laughter. Mr. Thomas Stuart, an actor at the Adelphi, said—ln 1868 I was playing Belphegor at Sheffield. There was a complimentary notice in • Sheffield paper about me, and I seat it to Mr. Ledger, with a request that he would insert it in his paper. I received the following letter in reply : " Quite as good a notice has already appeared in the Era. Any notices from other journals are inserted at Gd. a line, and the authority for them must be named. I must live dear Sir Thomas, as well as yourself. With every good wish for your future-7 . . . pp good ercerestanined—Asa notice of me as that in the Sheffield paper a in the Era. It was • perfectly fair criticism, the author of it is unknown to me. Mr. Wm. Willett--Some years since I IMO principal pro prietor of the Era. Mr. Ledger had then a small interest to it. In 1656, I ceased to be proprietor. In my time such advertiaementa as those set out in the plea were allowed to be inserted with certain alteratioes—the offensive passages were struck out. I and Mr. Ledger had some conversation on the subject. I jobto them, but, as it was a matter of business, we sQeed to that arrangement of leaving out the offeesive passages. The charge was higher for them than ordinary advertisemeets. An officer connected with the Society for the Sappreesion of Vice was called to produce the publications he had re caved by post in answer to his letters sent to the addresses in the advertimemeota. Mr. M. Chambers objected to their production unless evidence were given to show that the letters reached the addresses in question, and that the answers came from those places The Lord Chief Justice said, although there could be no moral doubt that the publications came from the places to ' which the letters were addressed, Mr. Ledger was only responsible for what appeared on the face of the advertise ments themselves, and that it would therefore be better to dispense with the proposed evidence. This being the tube for the defence, Mr. Ledger was called by Mr. M. Chambers. Hs said—l have been sole proprietor of the Bra for live years. Its circulation is between 5,000 and 6,000 weekly. He did not write the articles about the Dramatic College, but he in serted them, nor did he write the letter signed "J. V." The writer was a gentleman whose name he could give but it wee not the practice of newspapers to give thi names of their contributors. Ile is not one of my regular contributors, and I even don't know him personally, but he seat his name and address. When Mr. Toole called upon me he said, " This is a disagreeable affair. I never knew that the governor (meaning Mr. Webster) was such a tyrant. He has forbidden me to insert my advertisements in the Era." land, "Never mind ; you can get an en 4ament at Drury-lane, or at other theatres. It is migrate ful to me, after what I have done for you, to be such a tool of Mr. Webster;" I also told him never to mind, and that I would insert his advertisement for nothing. That was when we had the sherry, and before the champagne. I think we had two pinta. On Friday mowing 1 found Mr. Tools's advertisement in the editor's box, and I inserted it. It was a printed hand-bill. Mr. Toole said that he bad a row about the advertisement with the tyrant Ben, but be did not tell nie not to insert it. On mu-examination the witness said that be did net insert the advertisement in order to annoy Mr. Webster. though be knew it would have that effect. lie denied that he had seen any of the indecent publications advertised in his paper, and stated that he had given orders for the ex clusion of the advertisements in future. On re-examination he stated that previously to this affair be and Mr. Webster were good friends, and that Mr. Web ster never complained of the mode in which he conducted his newspaper. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury, after an shame of a quarter of an hour, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Dainagas, la. COURT OF EXCHEQUER-FEB. 25.

Lis. 3d. COURT OF BANIERUPTCY.—Frs. 25. (Won Mr. Oamminioner Emma.) IN AZ BARMAID AND ROSEPTHALL. Mr. Linklater urged that no motive bad been shown for the fraud attributed to Mr. Barnard. As so the legal point, the words of the 221st section itself put an to the question ; for it began with the words, " from end after the commencement of this act." If the court entertained even a doubt on the matter, it ought not to put Mr. Barnard to the pain and expenee of a trial for misdemeanor. The ease mild not be brought under the act of 1849 ; for the bank ruptey had not occurred until the new act came into vs ration. It was cruel to harass Mr. Barnard in this way, for be was a greater loser than any of his creditors. It ought not to be forgotten that the bankrupts had, previous to 1061, carried on a regular and successful trade. Above half the goods sent to Americs had been shipped before the act of 1061 passed. Bat for the misappropriation of the proceeds of the consignments to New York, the bankrupts would not have failed at all ; and hence they could not be charged with rash and hazardous speculation. Mr. Hull submitted that there was no imputation sgairuit the bankrupt Rosenthal, who had had little to do with the shipments to New York. He hadbeen almost in the position of a dormant partner. His Honour reserved his judgment. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—CARLI.LE, Fan. 24. CHILD MURDER AT PENRITH. At the adzes to-day, Catherine Simpson, a young woman, aged 21, wan tried before Mr. Justice Mellor, for the murder of her illegitimate child by drowning. She con fessed her guilt on being taken into custody. It was proved that the poor girl was subject to fits of insanity, and on that ground the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Til DD{RAD•HThL INRDZIL. William Charlton, aged 32, engine-driver, way tried before Mr. Justice Willis for the murder of Jane Emmet eon, an old woman who kept the pte ate the Dunes-bill crossing of the Newcastle and Oarlble Railway, oe the 21st of November. The facts of the owe may be remembered, but may be briefly recapitulated se laid before the jury by Kr. Pnce, and deposed to in a mass of evidame. On the part of the prosecution it was said that the deed was done bitterer' the time when the last engine-driver passed with his train, which was about • quarter to ten, sod the time when he had • second opportunity of seeing whetter there was a light, and did not observe one, which was somewhere about a quarter or twenty minutes post ten—within the space of abut half an hour. Next morning, when the Ant engine passed the crow ing, • little after three o'clock, the gates were found opened and all right ; therefore somebody must hare been to the gates and put them so as to enable the engine to pew without stopping. The driver of this train did not see the old woman as ha was accustomed to do, thocich he whistled several times very loudly. The next tram that passed was driven by the primer. After that, about half-past five or • quarter to six, • man named Blaylock, coming along the line to his work as • platelayer, and ;easing by the old wenna's cottage, found ber lying la spool of blood. On elumatinehle• there were found to be • amber of footmarks all rend the settee, Isedins pk 7 s t k tbe4. et • garden in which the old had bean taken out d wa rliga=l 4 and need by =on who committed the deed. Blood was on the ke .n• , sad the doer, sad the drawer bore marks of Its bevies base need to twee then It wee found that the old woman had never been to bed, as the bed was unwede and her night clothes were skill airing before the fire. When the police came the footmarks were exausiuell and caste taken of them. The prisoner's duty was to go out with the second engine in the morning, and he was accustomed to be called up about half-past three by a man named Chambers • be usually came dews to the engine sheds, bringing his b reakfast with him, which, after giving directions to his fireman about getting his engine ready, he gcnendly ate in an adjoining cabin. On the morning in question be was awoke a little after three, and oeme dowel as usual, but he brought i no breakfast with him. After giving directions to bin fire- man, he abseoted himself from the sheds on the excuse of going to get his breakfast. It was an unusual thing for him I to come without his breakfast. Between half-past three and four o'clock, a pointsman on the line, named Carru thers, beard footsteps, and in looking round he saw what he had never seen before—the prisoner coming down the line from the direction of the old woman's cottage, quite in another direction to his own house, where be said he went to get hie breakfast and his knife. The caste off the foot marks, as well as the shoes taken from the pri soner, were produced. Those prints bore many peen liarities--such as one of the semi-circles of nails being lamer than the other, the distant*s between the the fact of there being one little nail leaning Want upon another, tee—which must have been accidentally made by the shoemaker. Accurate measurements of the casts and tracings were immediately made, but the prisoner was not apprehended till a month after. He went out with his train to Newcastle aa usual, and as they were passing the old woman's cottage, he kept his fireman engaged in close conversation, and then told him to put some coke in the fire—thus preventing the fireman from looking about him. When the news of the murder reached Newcastle, the fire man asked prisoner if he saw the lights es he came up in the morning. " Yee, I did,' was the answer, " and I saw the old woman herself standing in the porch." About a month after the murder, he was apprehended and his shoes taken. On being examined with the caste, a most remarkable and accurate resemblauce between the two was discovered ; but fifty-four sparables indented in the casts had been taken out of these shoes. When before the ma gistrates, and seeing how the evidence was going, the pri soner made a statement attempting to cut the blame upon his brother-in-law, Thomas Robinson. In the first place, he gave three different accounts about the nails--one to the fireman, one in this statement, and soother to the police man ; sod also proved it was beyond doubt that Robinson was miles away from Carlisle, had slept that night with another man ; and, in fact, could cover the whole of the time in which the murder could possibly have been committed. The prisoner's house was searched, and nutter one of the slates on the roof of the privy was found a paper contain ing 52 *parable., which were of the same cha racter as those which bad been in the shoes ; and another sparable was found in the prisoner's pocket. The paper in which the 52 were wrapped had some tobacco dust in it, and some similar dust was found in the prisoner's pocket. Some of the nails appeared to have been taken out by pincers and some by a chisel ; and in the prisoner's house a chisel and a pair of pincers were found belonging to the company, which be had no right to have there. Mr. Campbell Forster, having addressed the jury for the prisoner, the learned judge reserved his summing-up till next day. CARLISLE,' TileaDalr EVINING. His lordship oommenced hie summing up at 9 o'clock this morning. He left it to the jury that if the circum stances were all consistent with the prisoner's guilt, and there were some of the circumstances which were sistent with any other rational 0011CitIBIOU, it wu their duty to find the prisoner guilty ; but d the circumstances were all capable of another ,00nclusion, they ought, to acquit His lordship then went carefully through the whole evidence, pointing out the falsehood of the prisoner in endeavouring to fix the guilt of the murder on his brother-in-law, the circumstances attending the finding of the " sparrowbills,” and the tracing of the shoe impres sions corresponding with the prisoner's shoes, and told them that these Must not be looked at separately, bat altogether, and their judgment must be formed on the whole facts. The jury retired about 11 o'clock, and, after being &besot five hours, returned at 4 o'clock with a verdict of Guilty of murder, coupled with a recommendation to merry ea account of the priminer'e previous character. His lordship then, putting on the black cap, paced on the prisoner the awful sentence of death in a most impose sive manner, holding out to him no hope of mercy, though he should transmit to the proper quarter the reoommend,a- Lion of the jury. THE POLICE COURTS. WESTMINSTER. A MIL fiabiosablyiiireMed pence, described as Mrs. Kale Hayes, of 3, Archbutt-terrace, King's-road, Chelsea, was charged under the following circumstances : Inspector Howard, of the B division, said that at half peat one that morning he was with Sergeant Brett, 2'J B, when he heard screams and shouting near Eaton-square. They went to the spot, from which, aa they approached, a cab wee driven sway, and found the defendant, who ap• peered to be quarrelling with another cabman who was there. She bad two Vernal. friends with her, and there were several other persons around them. She coin. plained that the cabman bad nearly run over her and her friends, and upon complainant's inquiring whether she had taken his number, she replied that she had sot, adding, " Such uses ea you, when you are re quired, are never here." Complainant asked her who eLe willed "ayes," when she turned round, and, pulling off her left dove, struck him in the breast. She was much excited, and appeared to have been drinking. Paynter inquired how she had described herself. The inspector replied that she said she was a lady, and that her husband was abroad. Defendant said that ;i:i.d properly described bereelf she was a lady, living upon her husband ' s means, and she could produce letters to prove it, if necessary. Mr. - Payater. suggested that it was rather unusual to find • lady out so late, and charged under such circumstances. Defendant did not nee any great impropriety in being out with her friends at such an hour, and declared that the inspector bad perjured himself. Sergeant Brett, 29 B, confirmed the inspector's account. Defendant was very violent, and at the station applied a most disgusting epithet to him. Defendant positively denied this. She admitted that she pushed the inspector, but said she really did not know that he was one. She declared that there was no truth in the assertion that she was under the influence of liquor, and asserted that the appellation of "woes" was retorted by her after being first used to herself and friends by the police. Inspector Howard also said he was in uniform, and that the uproar caused by the defendant brought no less than five constables to the spot. Mr. Paynter inquired whether he bad heard the din suiting expression imputed to the defendant! The inventor replica that he did not, but after she had made some remark to the sergeant. she heard him say, " That is not the language of a lady." Defendant's Water ' who was with Ler, was called on her behalf and confirmed her statement. Mr, l'aynter said that both the inspector and sergeant were known to be very respectable men, and in interfering, upon bearing a disturbance at that time is the morning, they were only doing what was lawful and right. It was quite obvious that there had been some irregularity, and there was a disturbance going on in which it would hardly Iz:roted that a person of her deacnption would be en- She had admitted that she bad pushed the inspec tor, which she was not jwiliified in doing. and what one would call a push another might deem a blow. He should fine defendant 54%. The money was immediately paid. WANDS WORTH. A tall, soldier-like-looking man, who gave the name of William Brown, but whose right name is Joky ayes, was brought before Mr. Ingham for final examination on a charge of forging a soldier's certificate of discharge. The original charge agaiust the prisoner was for begging in Clapham on the let instant, and for vaulting Police coestable &Mill while in the execution of his duty. In his ien yea found a certificate purporting to be the discharge of Sergeant William Brown from the 59th Regi mento Foot, and signed by Colonel H. H. Graham, and by the authority of the War-office. The prisoner claimed the discharge, and said he was • discharged soldier from the 59th. Subsequently it was discovered that the whole of the certificate, Which was printed upon parchment, woe • forgery, and the prisoner was remanded for the attendance of a witness to whom he had uttered it. residing at Mandarin-villa, Abbey road, St. John s-wood, said the prisoner called upon him about the end of June, 1861, and rerrented that he knew him when he was in the Ceylon Rifles, at Hong Kong, and that he was in the 59th. lle stated that be wee without aristanos and asked him if be could afford him any, as he had nothing to eat. Witness interrogated him rto how be was out of the regiment, and he said that he was discharged on account of bad health. The prisoner also said be was Sergeant Brown, and banded him the certificate of die charge. Knowing that Colonel Graham was not likely to certify the conduct of the man as good, as the certificate did, unless it was so, he symprhieed with the prisoner, and gave him la., and also recommended him to go to Colonel Graham. Colonel Henry Hope Graham, of No. 9, Holies-street, Cavendish-square, now an inspecting field officer, maid he wee formerly in command of her Majesty's 59th Regiment of Foot, and ceased to be so on the 30th of June, 1860. He left the regiment about the 22nd of July, 1859, on leave, the regiment being then at the Cape of Good Hope. The certificate of discharge wu dated the 14th el October, 1859, after be bad left the regiment at the Cape, and when be had no authority to sign it. He *lao proved that the certificate was a forgery, and that the prisoner was charged from the regiment as an incorrigible. Mr. Ingham committed the prisoner for trial for obtain. leg money by false postman'.

D ot been much business done, owing to the high rates wpina t ry continue to demand for the yarns they are producing, wLirL has very much checked operation.. Mule yarns are dearer, as also is water twist in cops and . bundles. Ila re has therefore been but few sales for any market, The eto,k, of yarns are light, but, on the other hand, the orders in tbe hands of spinners are small, even for the present rate of production. There has been a moderate business in shirting., long-cloths, and other Wince, at a .Lade higher prices than were obtainable last week. There is demand, but only of a limited character, for some kind, printing cloths and T cloths. It is more and more evident from day to day that the great decrease which had taken place in the production of cloth is now telling upon the market, and that the sales for some days pant have ex ceeded the quantities coming forward. At the same time stocks have been considerably reduced, and sellers are hold ing with much firmness, from a belief that prices must son advance. The males, however, are only on a moderate scale, and purchuers, both for the home trade and export, ar e operating with great caution. The letters to hand flow, India and China are more encouraging than any recently received, but it must be borne to mind that their leading contents bad been anticipated throNt i the telegraph, and as other telegrams are expelled to-morrow or the day after, which will bring dates from Calcutta to the 11th, and from Bombay to the 12th Feb., buyers have been rather disposed to wait than operate today, though some little business may have been done or the speculation that they will show a further favourable result. The general expectation is that they will kris ; better accounts. It was reported that a telegram had been received in town to-day, but the report could not be traeei to a reliable source, and towards the close of the mute: was generally discredited.
