A respectably dimmed, anicitile;:ei;dnsan, named Geove Buxton, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having feloniously conagired with others, with intent to defraud, and nth Essig unlawfully obtained under false pretences, by virtue of such onnspiresy, the sum of 5001. from the Universal Marine Insurance Company. Mr. M'Onlloch, barrister, from Liverpool, appeared to conduct the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh, booster, ap peared for the defendant. Mr. MVedloch, in opening his ewe, laid the defendant was recently • shipowner and bread and biacuit taker in ijv 1. In 1860 he was owner of • ship called the Jae s erp Howe, which was at that time at Huff. He ' chartered that vessel to a gentleman named De Mattes, and ' she wee to go to • port on the African Coast. Under such a charter the gentleman chartering the ship would be the only pawn having the right to ship cargo in her, but eon- Somali? the captain or the owner were allowed to take a few goods in the cabin only. The seed was loaded with her cargo, and in addition to that the defendant, George Rem ton, shipped • few article* on his own account to the value of something considerably under 3001. He seemed to have effected an insurance with the Universal Marine Insurance Company under representations that he had goods in the ship to the amount of LOOM, and obtained an insurance for that amount. The ship was subsequently lost, and the defendant produced two bills of lading, signed by Bertie, the master, for about 5001., purporting to represent the goods to that amount, and on the production of these bill, of lading be obtained the payment from the company of the insurance. Bertie, the master, who was also impli cated in the transaction, had been apprehended on bis arrival at Falmouth from seems. He t ho ught it best to mention that the prisoner bed been tried and acquitted upon a similar charge at Liverpool, bet it had no connexion with the charge now brought forward. He proposed merely to adduce sufficient evidence coo this occasion to justify a remand. . . . . . The evidence having been given, Mr. Sleigh said he should not oppose a remand, as his client was not at all anxious to shirk the dame, bet, en the oontrary, wished the fullest investigation. He should only ask his lordship to admit him to bail. His Lordship consented to this, and the defendant was remanded, with the option o t fitrocuring hail, himself in 5001. and two sureties in 2501. each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Norris,a ---- ,arr;aardesakai, of 55, New Compton-street, Soho, ass charged with threatening his wife, Mary Arm. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant, a respectable.looking young woman, end said that the parties had only been married two years, and for some time past the defendant bad treated his wife with great inhumanity, the sole cause for it being because has wife was in the family-way. The defendant had told his wife that he would not strike her, but that bemuse she was about to give birth to a child be would by his con duct to her put her in her grave in three months. Last January the wife through the defendant's ill.neage had been delivered of a dead child, instruments being used. He (Mr. Lewis) would call the wife, and then ask the magistrate to show the defeodant that if men would act like brutes to their wives they would be punished. The wife then deposed that her husband had for WOW time ill-used her, but had latterly said that he would not strike her, but he was in the habit of violently shaking her, saying that he did not like children, or the idea of her having them. The defendant said he never remembered using any threats. Mr. Tyrwhitt said they had better live apart. The defendant said he did not wish to live apart. Mr. Lewis observed that they could not live together. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant was a poor, cowardly fellow to harass his wife in her then condition. He should make the defendant find one bail to keep the peace to his wife for three mouths. M ARYLEBONE. Catherine French, aged 22, a dissolute-looking was charged with draukenness, disorderly conduct, and at tempted suicide. After being locked up for the first of these offences, committed at the north gate, Regent's-park, on Monday night, she attempted to choke herself in the police cell, by tying her scarf round her neck, but was prevented in time to gave her life. Mr. Mansfield observed that this was one of those tricks that folks of prisooer's class were fond of doing to excite sympathy Prisoner said she was forced to it ; she was a returned transport, and was driven about by the police. She was in service in a gentleman's family a short time ago, and getting an honest living, when the policeman informed her master and she was discharged. Now she was obliged to re sort to prostitution for a living. Mr. Mansfield sentenced her to 14 days' bard labour. WESTMINSTER. - • • - James Rigby and ARKIN& Masker were brought up oe remand, charged with attacking Mr. Henry Thomas Herr in Abingdon-street. Westminster. Mr. hunter observed, after hearing the fresh evidence adduced, it was quite clear that in the case there was a misapprehension on each side. Prosecutor had supposed that the prisoners bad intended to garotte him, which was not surprising considering the present state of the public mind, while the accused, according to their statement, thought he was going to attack them with his knife. The prosecutor had drawn his knife, and if he appeared likely to use it against them thoy were justified in defending them selves. They had, however, assaulted him with v tho woman especially. The male prisoner would ls= 20e. or one month's imprisonment ; the female would be committed for a mouth to hard labour without any fine. LAMBETH. Henry Rawlings, clerk to Mr. Parson", district surveyor for the parish of Lambeth, and William Hue, • simple looking youth, wearing an incipient moustache, two anti garotters, appeared in answer to a summons charging them with discharging fire-arms in the public highway, to the fear and danger of her Majesty's subjects. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and admitted they fired off the pistols they carried with them for their personal safety before they got home. inspector Smith, of the Brixton station, produced one of the bells that had been Bred, which he said had entered the window of a lady's drawing-room, knocked off a portion of the cornice, and fell back into the room, to the great alarm of the lady sad her husband. The defendant& said they bad been to the lady, who for gave them. Mr. Elliott obeetved that it was a very silly and danger ous act, and convicted the defendants in a Penalty of Ills and costs, which they paid. r ~,,,:0i,e.„...,,,r:Ji.:,_:,;„,..2_,:”.:::.,:„,„,,,,;_c_....,;„:„..,:„..7.7., lin thunder, not in whirlwinds or earthquakes, but manned there during Ins sue. a coon men m =ryes... name alio 'la.:us - mug ~. ....... ....... ..... , Ik 'i =cheater. calico printer-Jan. 8.

(Before Use muter of the Roth.) 5.412 O. caoocaw•w. This case was opened, rderday, cad was argued on behalf of the plaintiff dozing the greater part of this day. It is unneomaary, la the view which the Moeller of the Rolls took of the matter, to go into the particulars of it, as without calling upon the counsel for the defendants hi Honour at once pve judgment. The bill, be said, was filed for the specific performance of an w. *meat for the aesignment by Mr. Bolt, one of the defendants, to the plaintiff of the Interest which the latter had possessed in a contract for carrying the mails between Doves and Weed, and Dover and Odom. The interest of the plaintiff in this subject had passed to his assignees on hi bankruptcy, in 1855, and the agreement sought to be enforced war alleged to have been subsequently entered into between the plaintiff and defendant at the office of Messrs. Wier and Ball, accountants. A minute of such agreement, under date lit October, 1867, was made in his daybook by Mr. Ball as follows :—" Mr. Newton, Mr. Bolt, Mr. Mare, Mr. Ball being present, Mr. Newbon stated that Mr. Mare was to have the Dover mail on paying 5,000 sovereigns. This Mr. Bolt assented to.—John Ball His Honour com mended at length on this minute, which he observed as being made by Mr. Ball, who was the agent of neither Crticould bind no one, and, moreover, it was, as to ffect, denied by Mr. Bolt. Having remarked upon a letter written by M. Mare to Mr. Bolt in January. 1868, to the effect that if the latter proceeded with negotiations for the sale or treader of his (Mr. Mare's) interests in the mail contacts steps would be taken to restrain him, his Honour observed upon the time which the plain tiff had allowed to elapse between the dated his letter and the filing of his bill, and added that in cases of this de scription the court was considerably inflamed by the nature of the subject matter of the suit. It was familiar to all acquainted with the practice of the soarer that in some came, as in that of " Southoombe v. the Bishop of Exeter." so short a period as fifteen months of ladies had been held fatal to the claims of the plaintiff. Then the question was raised about apiece of land, but here the subject of con tention was quite transitory in character, and was one in which it was impossible for the court to place the parties as they would have been had specific performance been sought in proper time. In deciding against the plaintiff on the ground of lathes, his Honour wished to be understood as expressing no opinion upon the other circumstances of the ease, which, hd it gone on, would have required di/cumin sad oonsideration. After remarkimi upon the case of " Harrington r. Chtirchward,” in which he said the ques tion now before the court could not possibly have been raised, he dismissed the bill with costs. Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Osborne, and Mr. Roxburgh were for the plaintiff ; the Solicitor-General, Mr. Waller, and Mr. Harcourt, for Mr. Rolt ; and Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr. South gate, and Mr. Langley, for the defe nd ant Churchyard.

This was the defendant's' case. Sir Fitzroy Kelly having replied upon the cue, Mr. M. Chambers addressed the jury. He was unable to discover what the defendants intended—whether they Intended to relieve Mr. Kcenig from the charge of being a fraudulent man, or whether they meant to Impute fraud to him. Throughout the proceedings in reference to this case, end in Sir F. Kelly's speech, there was the mime determi ned= • Willing to wound, but yet afraid to ships." The defendant; appeared to shrink from making a direct charge, but yet to be reedy to destroy character by imputation. The learned counsel at considerable lesgth analysed the evidence, and in conclusion urged that the directors' pamphlet was a malicious libel, and called upon the jury to return their verdict for the plaintiff. The learned counsel had not concluded when the court rose. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Dze. 16. (Before Mr. Regietrar Roche.) ng JOAN IRAUCHT. — THE LORD NILSON DURIC•RALL.— IZZORERATIOR TO ILANAGIRIL The bankrupt, described ea a wine merchant, of Regent street, had kept the Lord Nelson Music-hall, in Easton road, for a short time before the license was refused by the meet:rake. This was the adjourned sitting for choice of assignees. According to the estimate of Messrs. Hart, the accountants engaged in the case, the liabilities are about 12,600/. ; assets uncertain. Several proofs were admitted, and Mr. Billet, described as a gentleman, of South Belgrave-street, who ia agent to some foreign house, was chosen trade assignee. Mr. Bra/Baugh said the majority of the creditors for whom be appeared proposed that Mr. James Cooper, of the firm of Johnstone, Cooper, and Wintle, accountanta , should be appointed manager of the estate. Some one asked if Mr. Cooper was a creditor. Mr. Bradlarigh said he was not, and on that ground he was the more fit for the office. The Registrar—What is the use of a manager! There seems to be no estate to manage. Mr. Bradlaugh—There is not now, bat there may be. There is a manufactory in Switzerland, and other property on the continent; and it is not impossible that there may be forthcoming assets. A Creditor—There is no estate, no debts, no property, no assets of any kind. I object to the appointment of a 1101111140 r. The Registrar—Under those circumstances the creditors ought to be very careful how they appoint a manager. Mr. &adlangh said the creditors proposed to act in strict conformity with the act, and in no way to exceed its pro. vision& The Registrar, after referring to the observations of the Lord Chancellor in the case of " Still mid u to the appointment of managers, said that every possible care ought to be taken in the appointment of such an offieer,other wise intolerable abases would arise. He made these re. marks rather for the consideration of the creditors them selves than as addressed to the solicitors. A Solicitor—The bankrupt has already sworn there is no estate. Mr. Bradlaugh—lt is because we believe there is an estate that we wish to have a manager. The Registrar—lf the appointment is made, the creditors ought in the first instance clearly to define the datiesof the manager, and also the precise amount of his remuneration. Mr. Bradlangh said be would take care that the require ments of the act were in all respects complied with. A resolution was then passed appointing Mr. Cooper manager, on the followingconditione:—"To be paid such re muneration out of the estate, for such period as the creditors' assignee may think sufficient—such remuneration not to exceed the scale allowed to °Meld assignees for their re muneration ander the general missend orders."

Jesee Idly, 19, was charged with laving, in company with another man, assaulted and robbed Henry Green of a watch ease and a two-shilling piers. Mr. Me ga Mo Williams primmuted ; the prisoner was leaded Mr. Collins. The prosecutor in this case was a coach trimmer, residing in Paredise-place, laliogWq and between nine and ten o'clock on the night of the 24th of November he was on his way home, and west into a c-loouse called the Pickering Arms, near his own rea, and obtained • pot of porter. W hen be had goes • short distance from the public-house he was suddenly seised from behind, ad at the same moment • snatch was made at his watch, and he received a blow in the face. A struggle then took place between him and his smallest', daring which the case of his watch was forced off and he was robbed of that and • two-shilling piece. The prosecutor sew the prisoner • day or two afterwards standing near the Angel, at Isling too, and recognised him as one of the men who load arreffted and robbed him, and gave him into custody. In answer to questions that were put to him by the learned counsel for the prisoner, he admitted that he bad been to several public-houses during the evening, and that he was not quite sober, and it a/so appeared that the struggle that took place at the time the alleged robbery was committed, was of such a gentle character that only a portion of the beer was spilled, and the prosecutor took the rest home and drank it with hisi r r . upper. . Co in his address to the jury for the prisoner, said that this was one of those ass that had lately been maviSed into garotte robberies, to the great alarm of the public, but he urged that it was nothing of the sort, and that the truth of the story was that as the prosecutor, in his half-drunken state, bad got into some squabble in the street, and he said it was impossible to rely upon his testimony as to the identity of the prisoner. The Common-See:joint having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. ST. LURE'S. A public meeting of the ratepayers and inhabit ants of the parish of 84. Luke's, Middlesex, was held yes terday, at the temporary Vestry- hall, Pickardatreet, City !aid, for the purpose of mganidng a parochial subscription in aid of the existing distress in the cotton manufacturing district/. The chair was occupied by Sir S. M. Pao, Bart., Y.P. The Rev. J. SAUNDERS moved the following resolution: —" That this meeting being duly impressed with the sufferings and privations endured by the cotton e gantives of the North of England, and f the bility of even gr . eater privations during the ter, is desirous of expressing g ig heartfelt sympathy with their . sufferings, its admiration of the fortitude and patience with which they have been borne, and its opinion that it is a duty incumbent upon all to help to mitigate their distress . With the example set them by other parts of the country, by British subjects abroad and even by foreigners , he did not think the inhabitants of St. Lake's would be backward in their contributions to the relief of the sufferers in the cotton district' Mr. MARTINEAU, in ascending the motion, urytd that the claims of the Lancashire operatives upon their allow-opm• trymen in their present di fficul ties were enhanced by their heroic patience, so different from the feeling displaed in 1819, when large masses assembled together and made themselves the tenor of all about them.' The Rev. T. J. ROWSILL warned his hearers not to be deterred front contributing to the fund by any argument that the present difficulty ought to have been foreseen and provided against. The calamity was inevitable. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. The Rev, H. WARD moved a resolution in favour of a house-to-house visitation for the purpaiie of soliciting con tributions of money, clothes, and bedding. Mr. W. PKILLIPS seconded the resolution. reply to a question from the Rev. Mr. Annum, Mr. PHILLIPS laid it was the feeling of the manufacturers that should their prospects next March be no brighter than they were at 'meant there would be nothing lets but for the people to seek some other employment or to emigrate. AM' some ohnirrations from the Rev. Mr. Today, a Roman catholic priest, the resolution was carried. A further resolution, appointing a committee to carry out the object of the meeting, having also been proposed and sdop te ted, A vo of thanks was accorded to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated. A subscription entered into during the meeting realised about 2706 TODMORDEN. This town has been one of the latest to feel the severity of the crisis arising out of the cotton famine, and even now is in a much better position than many of the neighbouring cotton districts. Within a circle of about • mile and a half round Todmorden there is • population of about 20,000 people. There are 72 cotton mills or 105 firms, employing before the cotton famine 9,380 people, of whom 365 are working full time, 1,031 are working four days per week, 4,020 three days, 882 two days, and the remainder are wholly out of employment. The rateable value of property is 59,3864 In this district are the mills of Messrs. Fleidea, Brothers, and it is worthy of notice that the distress arising oat of the stoppage of mills is much mitigated by the fact that this firm generously pay to their unemployed operatives three days' wages per week, at a cost of nearly 5001. per week, or 2,000/. per month, at the same time that owing to the large rateable value of their property they have to contribute one-tenth of the lens of and Walden sod one•fifth of the entire rates of langfiskl. A local relief committee was established at Todmorden some weeks ago, but it was distasteful to some of the residents on the pounds that it bad been self-con stituted. The committee sought to meet this objection by adding to its number some of the large millowners and other employers of labour, including one of the Fieldens, Mr. Lord, Mr. Firth, Mr. C. Chambers, and Mr. W. Dewhint. Some of these gentlemen, however, felt scruples at taking this responsibility upon them until the committee had done something to purge themselves of the stigma attaching to it. origin, and the result was that on Saturday one of the largest and most in fluential public meetings ever held in Todmorden was brought together (Mr. John Fielden in the chair),and pawed resolutioos recognising the distress and the necessity of relieving it, and re-appointing the committee already esta blished for the purpose. Mr. James Dewhiret, Mr. Edward Lord, Mr. Joshua Fielden, and Mr. Gankroger were the speakers, and the proceedings were adopted unanimously. The meeting was a model in its way, and lasted only twenty minutes. On Monday the gentlemen taking part in the meeting attended the relief committee, and called Mr. John Fielden to the chair, who inaugurated his accession to the position he was entitled to as a member of one of the largest firms in the district by stating that Mears. Fielden Bro thers, of whom he was one, had determined to give a sub scription of 5001. to the funds, and would also supplement that subscription by a further contribution of 10 per cent. on the amount of other subscriptions raised by the neigh bourhood. The announcement was received with much cheering, and it is hoped that the committee will now act with the unanimity and vigour which are necessary to the : successful discharge of their arduous duties.

HELEN 9 B.—In fur therance of the appeal made to the members of the Jewish faith by the Rev. Chief Rabbi, a sermon was yesterday preached by his son, Dr. Hermann Adler, in the new syna gogue. Great St. blelen'v. The text chosen was the 10th verse and 58th chapter of Isaiah, "And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then shall thy light rise in obscurity and thy darkness be ar the Doco-day." In dwelling on this simple and emphatic exhortation to charity, the preacher adverted to the strangely infelicitous charge lately brought against the Jews by a clergyman of the church of England, who went so far as to deny them any original character of humanity, declaring that, prior to the Christian era, they had no charitable sym pathies beyond their own nation. Dr. Adler said, if this startling assertion hod not been made pub licly, and op an occasion like that on which his hearers had gathered together, he should not have noticed it. Charity, he maintained, was anentially a Jewish virtue ' • and he cited the examples of Abraham, of Joseph, and of Malachi, in support of this view. From Leviticus he quoted the precepts culminating in the words, "Love thy neighbour as thyself;" and he proceeded to remind his hearers that when Moses, the greatest and wisest of moo, prayed that if be had found favour in the sight of the Lord, Hp would show him His ways, God proclaimed himself not in thunder, not in whirlwinds .- earthquakes, but CHURCH RATS CASA At the Wandsworth Police-court, yesterday, a ease of some importance came before Mr. Ingham, the sitting migistrate, involving the right of distrist parishes constituted under the act of 1856. From the statement of Mr. Vallaam of the firm of Val iance and Valiance, who had been retained by the church wardens of the district parish of St. Mary, _Balham, to pro secute the claim, it appeared that St. Mares wee separated from the parent parish of Streatham in 185, wider an order in council dated 13th August in that year. On the 26th June in the present year a rate was made by the vestry, after notice from the churchwardens, of 4d. in the pound, for the repair and support . of the district church. Mr. T. 0. Hutton, a gentleman residing at Tooting, and some others refused to pay on the pound that the district parish had no power to levy a church-rate, that right remaining with the mother parish to any church-rate made by the vestry of which the district or separated parishes were still liable. Thereupon summonses were taken out against the defaulters, and yesterday was the day of hearing. Mr. Valiance observed that he had suggested to the other side that an arrangement should be come to, either to lay the case before his worship and abide by his decision, to agree to a cue for reference to the Court of Quarter SOF eons, the Court of Queen's Bench, or, if preferred by the defendants, it might be sent up at once to the Ecclesiastical Court for its decision. The right of the churchwardens to make the rate being disputed, and the question of the lega lity of the rate made being raised, he believed, unless thede fendants agreed to the suggestion that the case should be heard on its merits and decided by the magistrate, his wor. ship could not give judgment, but mart leave the church: wardens to proceed to enforce the rate. Mr. Wright, who appeared for himself as one of the parties summoned, Mr. Hutton and several of the other defendants, stated that his objection was against the va lidity of the rate. The Magistrate then referred to the set 54 George 111., which provides that if the validity of the rate is disputed, theustice is to forbear giving judgment, but leave the parses to proceed in tile superior warts ; and hem* read the clause and reenivld from the defen dants • formal de claration that they did so dispute the legality of the rata and refused to pay it methat amongst other grenade, be de clined to make any order. In the case of two or three of the persons summoned who did not attend, the magistrate issued warrants with the understanding that they ware not to be acted upon if the parties akeeded on Wedneeday, the 24th, and objected on the same grounds. THE SALE OP DISEASED MEAT. A large deputation from the salesmen of Newgate, Leadenlull, and Whitechapel markets waited upon the Commissioners of Sewers yesterday with a memorial, very numerously signed, which stated that they were in the habit of having parcels and hampers of meat consigned to them, and which they received without any previous knowledge or notice, or without any knowledge on their part of the description and quality of the meet, and that • large pro portion of such consignments arrive during the time that the retail butchers are making patchier, and their duty to the consignors reqhires them to unpack and expose the contents of the packages as soon as pomade. That they had no interest in the sale of the meat beyond a small commission, which was so insignificant as to offer no inducement to break the law ; and whenever they sew reason to entertain the slightest doubt as to the whole some character of the consignment which they received, they drew the attention of the inspectors to the fact; and submitted the same for their inspection, affording to them every facility for the performance of their duty. On some occasions the inspectors differed in opinion in reference to meat which io the most perfect good faith they sold as good and wholesome. That by an unfavour able date of the weather, the meat adored from decompo sition, and this was especially the case with meat which was dourly packed and came • long distance by railway ; and, when suddenly exposed to the air, that which was perfectly wholesome was liable to deterioration. That by the Sewers Act they were liable to prosecution, although they gave the officers of the court every assistance they could, and without which it was impossible for those officers to perform their duties properly, and they were liable to • fine and imprisonment for en oversight or even error in judgment. They had •no desire to screen from adequate punishment those who wilfully violate the law ; but for those who carried on their business in an upright sad honourable manner the memorialists pleaded • favour able though just consideration of their cases when they unintentionally infringed upon the law ; and they prayed, therefore, that a careful investigation in every instance might be made into the circumstances, in order that the surreptitious veedor of unwholesome meat, sold with a guilty knowledge, might be distinguished from the trader who, in the legitimate course of his business, inadvertently ruder himself amenable to the law. The members of the court seemed to thigh that this was a matter which re quired consideration ; it was, therefore, referred to the general purposes committee. The Royal Dublin Society met on Saturday evening to hear • lecture from Professor Gemgee on disease and mor tality among cattle. When he had concluded. Mr. Ganley, saleamaster, made an extra or dinary statement. He said that, unless some means were devised to give some com pensation to the farmer for diseased cattle, it was impossible to prevent him from selling them, or the butcher from kill ing and selling them. Unless some society were formed to have diseased meat paid for. it would be killed and eaten. There was no use in mincing the matter, he arid ; every one of the salesmen sold diseased cattle. The farmer could not otherwise pay his rent. The direr is so prevalent that he could not live were he to submit bis cattle to de struction. Professor Gamgee raid he would have gone 1,500 miles to hear this coofession, and he agreed with Mr. Clan ley that some plan should be adopted for paying the farmer for diseased cattle. HEALTH OF LONDON.—The weekly return issued by the Registrar General states that the weather has been much warmer in the present month than it was in three weeks of November, and under the influence of this favourable change the mortality has much declined. The deaths in Loudon in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,406, and they show a great decrease on the numbers of the two previous weeks, which were 1,745 and 1,619 successively. It will be found, if a correction for increase of population is made, that the average number of deaths for a week near the middle of December is 1,393, and therefore the return of last weekdiffers little from the result obtained by calculation. By a comparison of the results of the last two weeks it will be seen that the decrease has occurred not only in pulmo nary diseases, but also in those of the nervous system and of the heart. Deaths from zymotic diseases also decreased from 425 to 380. In the previous week 379 persons died at the agent 60 years and upwards; lest week the number was 317. Seventy-four childreu died of measles; 4of these is Camden-town, 5 in the east sub-district of laliogroo, 5 in Battersea. Of 84 deaths from scarlatina 5 occurred in the subdistrict of St. Peter Walwortb, 5 in Kennington, 5 in Peckluon, in which places the disease appears to prevail most. Small-pox exhibited a decided increase, for the fatal cases of it rose to 22, of which there were 3 in Poplar. A mother and her two children died in a cottage in Wells-road Sydenhem, from searlatina maligns. Ten nonagenarians died in the,week, the oldest of whom were two widows, aged 95 . and 96 years. A woman died from swallowing &Bah bone • a child from swallowing a slate pencil which lodged in the 'brooches •, a boy from pleurisy and pneumonia caused by a needle which had entered the thorax eight years ago, and a fragment of which bad re mained there during his life. A child died of laryngitis . . ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN OIRCIIIT.—LivisrooL, Die. 16. (Before Mr. Collll2thiloller Gurney.) MURDER. Thomas Edwards, a butcher, was indicted for the murder of Isabella Tongue, a woman with whom he had been co habiting for upwards of eleven years. The woman was a prostitute, arid lived in a court off Norman-street, Liverpool. Before she became acquainted with Edwards the deceased had, it appeared, an intimacy with a man named Sullivan. Sullivan, however, had been compelled to leave the country, and only returned in Novem ber last. Then the connexion between him and Tongue was renewed, and in consequence Edwards became dreadfully excited and jealous. On November'_? Edwards came home in the evening, and on finding that Tongue had been out with Sullivan all day, be became very angry, sod began to drink ale and rum. During the evening he went out and got more drink, and finally lay down on the sofa. Early in the morning Sullivan and the deceased returned to the house, and Edwards angrily Asked where Tongue had been all day. The deceased made no reply, but Sullivan said to the prisoner, " What is that to you? She has bees oat with me." At this time Edwards did not say any mows, bat set near the fire with Sullivan, the deceased. and other wo men. The deceased noticed that Edwards ball a knife with him, and she, therefore, feeling alarmed for her life, suggested that Sullivan and Edwards should go upstairs to bed together, and that she and another female inmate of the booms, named Wilma, should sleep together below. Sullivan and Edwards did go upstairs, but the prisoner almost immediately returnee' below, and (according to the de r sition of the deceased) r' MARKETS.

COTTON GOODB.—Mancionvain, Dic. 16.—1 n yarns there has been a gooddeal of business for all market., and in many cases id. pee lb. advance has been obtained on the rates of Friday last. Shippers as well as home trade buyers have operated to • very fair extent. Much more busmen would undoubtedly have been dome bad spinners been less exacting in their demands for an advance in prices. In cloths we have had a very excited market, owing to the higher prima ruling for cotton at Liverpool, and reports of • very large business there. It was reported by telepani in the morning that the sable in the Liverpool market would reach 30,000 to 40,000 bales, and hence the excited feeling amongst buys'. and sellers which prevailed here. The result was that manufacturers pot up their prices 6d. to 18d. per piece for shirting., and for other cloths in pro. portion, whilst some withdrew their goods altogether and would not offer. Buyers would not hum to the greater advance, but where a moderate course was taken there was a fair business done—say at Bd. higher than the rates of last week. The goods taken have been mostly for the home trade, the Levant, and such as are suitable to India, though it is hardly probable that the latter are for shipment, roes. much as we hear of exceedingly large purchase. in India of Manchester goods for reshipment to this country. Any further advance to-day than 6d. per piece seems to have stopped ess. The actual sales at Liverpool have only balm WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lusoe, Disc. 16.—The markets this morning were only quiet, the attendance of buyers beiug small, and their requirement. limited.
