THE NEW ZEALAND WAR. vo EIS RTR GEORG! GREY, 1LC.8., OOVIMIOZ 01. SLYi ZZALIIIID. Sir,—The unhappy war which is now raging in New Zealand between th Idaories and their Ea;.is4 rulers Ina excited the in nit deep and painful interest in this country. it war g.:uerally hoped that the contest which recently took place in the province of Taranaki would have been the last of those ;,,sinful collisions which have proved lalioimical to the best interests of the colony, as they have been duos twee to the native race. This hope we. cottinned by the spirit with which your Excellency entered upon the duties of your high MEN, and especially by the persevering efforts you made to establish a system of self.goveru meat in the native districts. We cannot express to you with what profound regret we hove witnessed the failur: of thou wise and beneficent measures, and bow deep:) , we sympathise with you in the peculiarly trying pos:tion in which yon are cow placed. The justice which Lai ever been the great characteristic of vJor lency's administration of native affairs is a pledge to the world that the war which is now being waged will be limited to lbs our okeet of restoring British impremscy in the disturbed ‘.istricts, and of achieving an hosiourable, and, if poxible, a Listing peace. Occupying u you do a position at once so Itictet acid so responsible, we would u"t venture to offer any saggeadiues of our own, did we ri,t feel that Eugliehicen, even at so great a distance, ought not tml o wd the momentous events now transpiring is New wish Militference or even with silence. We would therefore *mitosis .),21- earnest hope that your Excellency will avail yotuself of the first favourable opportunity which may preseat itself of endeavounng to terminate the was by aegotation, and especially that you will listen to any over tures of peace which any of the natives who have taken up arms may make. This course will, we are sure, so commend Ault to your sense of humanity and Christian fecliog, that we should scarcely presume to urge it upon your cooeide ration, did we not feel that your hands might be strength. sued by this expremi , c of our opinion, an opinion which we believe to be shared by the great body of the BraisL people. We have, however, been alarmed by the p ertinacity with which, in ..slue quarters, it has been proposed to confiscate the lands ,f all contumacious and re b ellious natives. As bas be‘u truly observed, such a policy as this would shut the t:oor to au poasitilc settlement of the die-lc:thy except by the sword ; u other words, if would lead to the exterminatiou of a people who value their pro perty MI the soil even lucre than their existents, and wise s despite their faults, are worthy of a better fate. We can conceire of no surer means of adding fuel to :he :!atoe of war ;of extendieg the area of disaffection; and making the natives fight with the modeles' of despair, thus a policy of confiscition. It could not fail to produce in New Zea land the same bitter fruits of which it has yielded so plan tifcl a harvest in other countries where the strife of races bar been perpetuated through successive gencratioes. and that, too, with a ieleutlesaueas and a cruelty which have made mankind blush for the species. We therefore pray that in the hour of victory your Excellawy will limper justice with mercy, and give to the wadi: ...anther bright exemple of forbearance and magnanimity. sich means, and such menus only, may we hope to see tha Ma.iri race Dewed fro 3 extinction, and the dominion of cur ladoved fir.ily established over every poi tiou ri the ielaude (lens Zealand. With groat respect, we have the honour to be, sir, your Excellency s faithful servants, (S'pe))--Chichester; Ebury. P. C., Moorpark. Rick umaiworth ; Walter C. Trevelyan.

At Radley's Hotel, on Saturday evening, a fare well wince, held under the auspiess of the Emancipation Society, was given to Mr. Gunge Thompson, who will sul for the United States on Saturday next. There was a very numerous attendance. Mr. WILLIAM Evaria, chairman of the society, presided on the occasion. The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedings, Kr. F. W. Cummos, the hoe. secretary, read the following letter from Mr. Bright, M.P. : "Rochdale, Jan. 14. " Dear Sir,-1 cannot be in London on Saturday, end cannot therefore be present at the proposed farewell meet ing to Mr. Thompson. 1 should like to shake him by the hand and to give him ray good wishes before he sails for the Uuded States. I remember his visit to this town, thirty year* ago, on his missioo on behalf of the slave in the English colonies. I remember his speech, and the effect it produced upon me. I have heard u many speeches as most men since then, in and out of parliament ; but I have never since heard a speech so moving in its eloquence and so greed in its object as that which he delivered is this town. I have always considered Mr. Thompson as the real liberator of the slaves in the English colonies • for without his commanding eloquence, made irresistible by the blessedness of his cause, I do not think all the other agencies then at work would have procured their freedom. And now, thirty years later, Mr. Thomp son will have the opportunity of seeing with his own eyes the process of liberation in America —uot a peaceable as oars was, because with us slaves were oomparative7fst i r s and the power of the shiveowners small. but liberation through the proctss of a desperate war, intended by the slaveowners to m..ke slavery perpetuaL Whilst he will grieve over tho calamities of the war be will look through them to the establishment of freedom over the whole of the North American continent, and he may see in the not distant future the abolition of slavery in Cuba and is Brazil, for I am persuaded that when the United States are free from slavery u England is, the united opinion of the two tattoos will do much to destroy the evil in every professing Christian country. I have nee spoken of Mr. 'fbompsou'a lebours in other causes besides that of the destruction of slavery—they are known to most of those who will be with you on Saturday evening. I can my honestly, and I any it with pleasure, that during the last thirty yearn there has been no movement on be half of any good cense, and there has been no victory in this country to freedom and the people, in which he has not borne an honourable part. I wish him all mamas in everything to •hich he may devote himself, and that be may witness more and roo:‘, the growth and the fruit of the great principles %Inch he him does so much to impress upon the winds of men. Regretting much that I cannot be with you, I am, very truly yours, " 1. W. Cheeses, Esq." "JOHJI BRIGHT. . _ Letters were also read from Mt. P. A. Taylor, ALP., Pre- favor Cairnes, Mr. R. Scott, Chamberlain of Landoll Yr. S. Lucas, Ir. E. Miall, Serjeant Parry, Professor New- man, and other gentlemen. The address to Mr. Thompson referred to his phi* minion in the cause of negro emancipation, and coutained the fol lowing twinge :—'• We are glad to be able to spare you— as we could not have done twelvemonths since. Than there was wide-spread error as to the issues iovolved in that great civil war which we knew to liethe death straggle of the slave power. Though not for a moment did the heart of the British people hesitate between the negro and his master, there was much hesir.tion to believe the government and loyal people of the United States engaged its a war of emaa- ' cipation. Happily it is no no longer. Events have proved stronger thee the crougeet prejudices am! doubts. But among those events we rank high the speeches by whit acts of legislation and of wee have been interpreted. Words are deeds when bravely spoken in the right cause at the right moment. Such words have been your. They hare been sharp to convince and strong to muse. They have greatly helped to set the mind and heart of England woolly end firmly on the side of the Free States tigntiug for freedom—on the ! side of Abraham Lincoln. the first President et the Amerioma Republic who has ruled in the spirit of the American decla. ration, All men are,,by nature free and aitiaL . Tell him, ' we pray you, that the people of EugLaid ho no ur him for the wisdom, the amrage, and the constancy be has displayed —that they thank the God who has raised him op to deli ver 30 oppressed people and to purify a polluted 0011102011 . wealth. Tell Mr. Seward and the statesmen of the Repub lic that England will honour them in proportion as they are faithful to the Proelamatioe of Freedom. Tell the Sum mers and Greelvs to preach by tonne and pen con tinually that Englaod will be the firm (need of America through whatever misunderstanding or estrangement way arise. Above all, tell Garri son and Philippi, the New England abolitionists— the Old Guard of the emancipation army—that the mother county holds their services in the warmest remem. broom, as the very worthiest offspring of our common ancestry. These messages you will lie free to speak. At your first going to America, even Roston refused you a bearing. At Jour second New York was unprepared to receive you. Now, Weshiugton itself will give you a welcome. The Republic will hail you as a faithful friend. We confide You to its keeping. We pray God to guard you by His proiidenoe. We shall look for your retain bearing the trophies of happy victory in a holy war—the glad tidings that the Union has been restored, slavery utterly abolished, peace and freedom ruling seturcly over all the vast docr.oin which oppression tried to wrest by civil war from the pos session or the hopes of civilieed mankind. In the hope that you will return thus rewarded for the labour and the perils ci your antislavery career—we bid you au affectionate fare well." HENRY VINCENT, in au eloquent speech, moved the adoption of the address. M. Vicroa SC/RELCHEB, tailor Minister of Marine in the provisional government of laic, and the statesman by whom the Aet of Emancipatioa iu the French colonies was origi nated and carried out, seconded the motion, which was sup ported ty the Hon. F. 11. Morse, the American Comet in London, Mr. M. D. Conway, of Virgmia, and the Rev. Sella Martin, formerly a slave in Kentucky. The address having been unaniacouely adopted, Mr. GEoc.a THOMPIWN replied at considerable length, and expreased the pleasure with which he was shout to return to the United States to witness the altered state of things in that country, sad he hoped that as he was pretest when the cradle of the revolution was rocked, or rather when the abolition principle was fist inaugurated, he might be privileged to see that principle triumphant, and slavery overthrown, while he was there. (Load cheers.) Addres-es having been delivered by the Kew. Dr. Maria and Mr. Mason Jones, the proceedings terminated with • rote of thanks to the chairman. THE FOEESTERS ASYLUM. On Saturday bight au aggregate meeting of the members of the various Foresters curtain the metropolitaa districts was held at St. .I..tues's Hall, Piccadilly, to receive the i sport from the provisioual committee, who Lave been acting for the but twelve somas, as to the foundation of an asylum for aged and decayed Foresters. Mr. H. Brim Leen. P.C.H., and member of the London High Court, presided. Mr. SACC.saIIORE read the report of the committee. After detailing their labours cod showing the great necessity thet existed for as hostitutinc such as the one proposed, it stated tisat upwanlsof 10,000 members of courts in the Ludo° die tricts had sutra/Wed to the scheme, thus showiog the deep root it bad taken amongst the order. The benefits proposed were thatany member who became disabled by accident, or, having arrived at the age of GO, was incapacitated from fol lowing his occupation. should be eligible for admission into the asylum, sad in addition should receive an allowance of tie. weekly and one ton of coals per year. The payments to *enure this benefit were to be so entrance fee of 2s. to., with contributious on a graduated scale as follows :—From the age of 18 to 20, 2s. per year ; 20 to 25, 2s.

A member to contribute for five years before he should become eligible to the benefits. Any married member ez.teriog the asylum shun:l he allowed to take his wife with hint. The report concluded with an earnest ap peal to foresters generally to srpport the scheme. After a discussion, in the course of which an amend ment, to the effect that a superannuation would be a more efficient mode of relieves,; axed members tliau founding an asylum, w.as moved and :ost, the motion for the adoption of the report was carried Ivy a I.arge majority. A resolution wan then adm4ed that the pro; 'deed committee should be sleeted for the nest twelve months, and that as soon as possible they should prepare a code of rules, and submit the same to a delegate meeting of one member from each court in the district, previous to being sent to Mr. Tuid Pratt to be certified ADVANCE IN THIL PAWNS OF EARTHENWAYE.— The adjourned meeting of the manufacturers of earthen ware in the Staffordshire Potteries, for the purpose; of de ciding upon the extent of the :iiiresace in the prices of earthenaare proposed at a preliminary' meeting on Monday, was held yesterday afternoon in the Town-hall. Burdens. tpwanis of thirty manufacturers were present, and most of the principal firms of the district were represented. Mr. A. Shaw was in the chair. Tin question was dis cussed at length, sod it was reeolved to reduce the dis counts upon the foreign trade per twat., which will make marly five per cent. advance on the net. With re gard to the home trade there were some difficulties is the way of erraeging an advance. Ihe meeting determined that an advance should take place, but left the question to be first disztused by district meetings, after which soother segregate meeting will be held to deride what the extent of the advance shall he.

CI:11118 P. PLAIT. This was a motion and cross motion for a new trial. The suit was instituted to restrain the defendant from commit ting certain alleged infnngemence on the patent of Mr. John Wain, which had been assigned to the plaintiff. Mr. John Wain, in 1814, obtained a patent for improvements in the self acting cotton-spinning mule; and in 1860 the defendant also took out a patent for improvements therein. On the part of the plaintiff it was contended that several parts of the defendant a patent were infringements oa Wain 's pa tent ;. and on the defendant's aide it was argued that Wain 's patent contained no novelties at all, and that there was not an infringement. Vice-Chancellor Wood, before whom the issues were ; raised, gave judgment that there was no infringement of the plaintiff's patent on the part of the defendant, and the present motion wu for a new trial. The defendant also applied for a new trial on the parts of the Vice Chancellor's judgment which were in the plaintiff's favour. . . . 16.

TRY ALLIANCE WIN OF LO OR AND LIVER- !006-CCSSOY OP BA:SKI:113 IY 1.6711P00L. Mr. Milward said that this was an action by a customer of the defendants to recover 3,7001., the amount of &cheque which they had refused to honour, and the present applica tion was fora rule to remove the venue from Middlesex to LiverpooL The plaintiff had sent in to the bank a bill for 3,000/., and tho bank had discounted the bill and plaited the amount to the plaintiff's credit as sash. It happened, how ever, that the acceptor became bankrupt, and the manager of the bank sent to the plaintiff to make some arrangement io reference to the bill ; but the plaintiff, instead of doing so, wrote a cheque asking for the payment to " self or order" of 3,7001., which was within stew pounds of the sum standing to his credit, sunning that he had a right to be credited with the amount of the 3,0001. bill, end the was the cheque which the bask refused to cash. The principal ground for wishing to venue the name was that the defendants intended to set up a custom of hankers in Liverpool, that where they had discounted • bill for • customer, and during its currency the acceptor failed, they were entitled to call upon the customer to write lack the amount which had been placed to his credit in respect of the bilL Of course the witnesses to prove this custom were Liverpool men, and therefore it would be convenient to try there. Rule mated. 01LADE V. THE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANT.-THZ COAL ThAFFIC. Mr. Ozlade, the complainant in this case, was a coal merchant in the North of England, and he had obtained a rule under the Railway and Canal Traffic Regulation Azt, calling upon the defondaats to show cause why an in junction should not issue ageitat them upon the ground that they would not carry coals for the complainant upon as favourable terms as they carried them for other persons. To-day cause ;was shown against this rule being made absolute. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., appeared to show cause spinet the rule ; and Mr. Manisty, Q.C., to support it. It appeared that the railway company bad entered into agreements to carry coals for the colliery owners in their district, and u til November last they carried coal for the complainant, but in the name of the colliery owner from whom he received them, and the dues were paid by the col liery owner. In November, however, the colliery owner objected to continue this arrangement, and the company thereupon declined to carry the coal for the complainant in his own name ; and hence the present application. The counsel for the company said that if they carried coals for Mr. Oslade the, must carry for anybody else ; and thus they would become common carriers of coal, in stead of carriers for colliery owners only. if this state of things were brought about, the conse quence would be that so many persons would send coals along the rails that the ordivary traffic of the line would be seriously impeded. He added that the present arrangement afforded all adequate accommodation, for the colliery owners had depots at the various stations, and real merchants ooald obtain any quantity of coals from those depots. There had been a good deal of litigation between Mr. Oxhide and the ' company, and in the course of the argument the cam turned upon the point whether the question now raised was I the same which the court had decided upon a similar appli cation made in 1856, and decided, after a long inquiry ' before the Master, in 1857. The court ultimately held that the quedioa before them I was the same as they had disposed of in 1e.37, and they therefore discharged the rule. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—JAs. 16. Sittings in Barico.--(Before Lord Chief Barra Pollack, and Baroaa Martin, Channel, and Pigott.) THE ATEORNET-GENUAL T. 11:8HION.-SUCCESSION DITTY. This was all Information by the attorney-general for suc cession duty upon real property devised to the defendant by the will of Joseph Claridge. formerly of East Haddoo, in the county of Northampton, grazier. The testator, by will dated July 29, 1828, devised his real property to his Rd*, Elizabeth Claridge, during her natural life, and after her decease to the use of Richard %Hock Rushton, the sou of his wife, sod to his heirs aad assigns for ever. He died is 1&32, leaving his wife and her sou surviving him. Richard Willoek Roshtoo died intestate in 1844, io the lifetime of his mother, and left surviving the defendant, John Perkins Rushton, his eldest son and heir-at-law, in whom the rever sionary interest in the testator's real propmty became vested. The testator's widow died in 1 , 40, alter the time appointed for the commencement of the 3ssomenion Duty Act of 1853, sod the defendant became beneficially entitled in possessiou to the testator's real property as • succession derived from the testator. The crown now said that inasmuch as both be and his father were strangers in blood to the testator he be came chargeable with duty at the rate of 101. per mot. upon the value of the succession.

DYENINC4 JANUARY THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Before leaving the beach en Saturday the Lord Mayor said his attention bad bees called to a statement which had appeared in one at the daily newepapera of that day nr 'pectins letter addressed to him regarding a sum of money which was said to have been left by a Spanish gentleman, who was a naturalised subject of the United States, for those families who might have suffered by the bankruptcy of the Spanish government. His lordship said it was his inten two to have laid the letter before a Court of Aldermen which was called on Friday, but as there were not sufficient members to form a court, of course he had no opportunity of doing so. The matter had, however, oozed out in some way and had been made public; be thought it right, under those circumstances, that the correct venial) should be given. The following is a copy of the letter received by his lord ship, being addressed to him by the Consul of the United States in Paris : " Paris, Jan. 11, lit64.—To Ais Ilcuonr the Lord Mayor of London.—Sir,-1 have the honour to enclose a certilisd copy of what purports to be the last will and testament of the late Mateo Lopez, a naturalised citizen of the Ueda States, who died at Marseilles on the 11th ultimo.

GUILDHALL Mr. Thomas James Pullen, a solicitor, of No. 1, Iron monger-lane, Cheapeide, was summoned before Aklerman Gabriel and Alderman Copeland, to show cause why he should not be adjudged to be the putative father of Kiss Caroline Charlotte Gibsou's illtaitiniate child. The complainant, a young lady of considerable personal attractions, said—l now reside with my father, but in 1861 I was in a situation at Mr. Harbinger's, in North-street., Brighton ; and it was about April or May of that year I first becameacytuanted with thedelendant. He pruniisedto marry me; and eventually, I think it was in Augustor September of the mans year, an improper intimacy commenced between us. He used to come down to Brighton every week, and the inter course took place is the parlour at the back of the shop is North-street, where the defendant wee in the habit of visit ing me. The intimacy continued until November, 1862, and my child was born in the January following. I saw the defendant several times after the birth of the child, and he never denied that it was his. He told me that he was in difficulties, and could not do anything for me then, but if would not trouble him be weld ultimately put me into business. During my confinement a friend of mine applied to him for mosey for me, and he sent me a Post-office order for 2/. The letter eticloaing it was in has handwriting. It also bears the address of his office in Irontuonger-lane. I afterwards received another Post-office order for 1/., purport. big to come from his brother, a boy of 14 )earsof age. The letter enclosing it was signed A. Pullen," and informed me that the defendant vu coming down to see me at Brighton. Cross-examined—l have lately gone by the name. of "Jessie" and " Pullen." I have been convicted of receiv ing goods knowing them to have been stolen. but 1 did it only to save my brothers, who were indicted for stealing those goods. I was indicted for receiving the goods from my brothers. I was sentenced to twelve months' impriaou ment, but it was afterwards commuted to ma months. All that occurred before I knew the defendant. He came t) see me on the day that the Volunteer review took place at Brighton. That was in April, 1862, awl the intercourse of that intimacy resulted in the birth of the child in January 180. The complainant's father gave evidence relative to the action for breach of promise of marriage sod the offer of the defendant to pay 501. in consideration of his (defendant's) bankruptcy, he at the same time alleging that the rest of In, creditor, bad agreed to inuept a shilling in the pound. The father was anxious to come to some arrangement about the child, bat the defendant said be would rattle the other matter tint. Defendant did not repudiate the child. The defendant was then sworn, and, while admitting that be bad had improper intimacy with the complainant, said it ceased at the end of IS6I. He had no recollection of the letter referred to. Some other evidence was given with regard to complain ant's present place of residence, with the view of upsetting the civic jurisdiction, after which Alderman Gabriel said—My brother magistrate (Mr. Ableintas Copeland) and I have given the evidence our most careful consideration, and we have come to the con clusion that the defendant is bound to maintain the child. We therefore make the usual order for half-a-crown a week. The defendant immediately gsve noticed appeal. CLERKENWELL. A reapectably•atti luau, upon IY •r.

Mr. D'Evoconst inquired if the applicant was living with his wits. • The Applicant—No, and I can't live by mystilf, and for this simple reason-1 earn 184. per week, out of which I allow her 'Js., and it can't be dune to live and keep your rent paid out of the remainder. I have asked her to allow me to go hack and live with her, but she will not. She has a Mite for the gigs, and says that if I *rot back to her ■he would not get on so well. Oh, wicked woman. that she could scorn true love for the sake of glory ; and although I know that she deserves not the love and the priceless food affection that I bestow on her, yet would Igo back to her, but she will not allow me. Mr. D'Eyncourt said he could not help the applicant. If he wished to have his wife hack be lied better apply to the Divorce Court for restitution of conjugal rights. The Applicant—But 1 Lave not got the motley. Her beiog away from me makes me unhappy, and breeds in me intiumerable evils, discomfort, disorganisation, and neglect. And *list 01u be worse than that for if I allow them to go on I shall lose my situation and my wages. If you were to send one of your officers with me I have no doubt but that she would come to her *eases. I was wrong, very wrong, when I left her, and agreed to let Ler have tie money. tio, lam not a heartless. selfish man, and would sootier that she should have the whole of my money than she should he dissatisfied with me. Mr. D'Eyneourt told the applicant that he could not assist him, and the hest thing the applicant could do would be to go to his wife, and persuade her to niter the arrangement he had himself made. The appliant thanked his worship and retired. WORSHIP-STREET. Stephen Cairns, a tall and powerful man. 40 years of op, and described as a labourer, was charged before Mr. Cooke with violently assaulting William Good )ear, sho appeared to be much older than the dehndant, of slighter build, and whose forehead was bound with hospit al rollers. . . . The complainant deposed—On the night of the 20th Nov. last I was in a public.bouee near my home in Whitechapel, and saw thin man and his wife drinking at the bar. He scummed me of having made her tipsy on a former night, and also with behaving very improperly to her. lof ass= denied all this, and she spoke not • word nee way or tips other. After sours further words between us I moved towards the door, thinking it better to leave than amuse a greater disturbance, but bad rely moved • few steps when, chancing to turn round suddenly, I received • heavy blow on my forehead. It was cut open, and bled sliockint a ;Lti so fact, I was mach injured that I have been in the Hoepital ever since that time. The blow was given with a quart pot, and he did it. I gays him into custody for the assault. He was brought here and remanded until I got bettor, but I think the use of my right eye has goes. Defendant—Why now, didn't I bud you drinking withmy wife at the bar when I went in ; sad didn't I jeer you about your having done the same before ; and didn't you tall ms of the intimacy with my wi!e, and wasn't that enough to make a man is a passion . . . . . Complainant—r&ot any of this is true ; it is just the reverse. You were there when I went is, and so wee your wife. Defendant—Now, call my wife ; she 4..11 tell yon. Mr. Cooke—l cannot have Ler sworn, hut will bear her Tendon of the matter if you both wish. Both men appeared 1111Xi0O1 that it should Le so, and a woman came forward as defendant's wife to establish on which side lay the falsehood ; but considerable astonish ment was created by her coolly ..s,erting that in oue puti cular, at least, there was a mistake, iouruncti es on the night in question she hadnot been in the public-house at all, the fact being that she was too drank to leave her bed. Every attempt to ioduce her to alter this statement was met with an iocreasuag persistence in being " quite right herself," and both men wrong. Defendant, in reply to questions from the magistrate, admitted that he had struck complainant, but declared that it was with his fist, not a pewter measure, and urged that it was consequent upon the complainant's provoking conduct and language. Mr. Cooke, in dealing with the case, remarked upon the extraordinary contradiction made by the woman, and said be believed that the assault complained of had been committed by defendant, and with the quart pot, as deposed to. More over, it was sot to be tolerated that under any circumstances, however provoking, such serious attacks were to be per mitted to pare without a corresponding amount of punish ment. It was a mercy that defendant in this CllB was not standing in the dock to answer a much graver eburv. He had, however, been in prison for a long time, and the sen tence now pealed wan that of a further imprisonment of one mouth, with hard labour. WESTMINSTER.

It is our painful duty to record the facts con nected with one of the most extraordinaarryy frauds ever known in the commercial history of tlnederlend, perpetra ted by one who up to the day of his death was widely re spectid as a merchant and as an apparently sincere and de vout auntie°. On New •Year's Day, Mr. Thomas Key, merchant and shipbroker, dropped down deed is his own Louse, in John-street, Biabopwearmouth, within two hours after he had left the devotional services of " watch night" at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. Deceased was the principal member of the well-known firm of Riches, Kay, and Mershall, shipbrokers and coal exporters, whose offices are in Ens; them-street. He was also a prominent member of the Wesleyan Methodist body, and a regular atteoder at the chapel et that denomination is Fewoettstreet. His venerable appearance, blandness of manner mid the mutt monious air he assu m ed had their intended effect, for Mr. Kay was not may generally respected, but his partners had the most implicit faith in his iotegrity. They allowed him to keep without question all the important documents of the nem, the books, the key of the safe, and to manses the tanking account, and even when they were wishful to smear tate the state of their affairs they allowed him to plead ill ness as au excuse for putting off the evil day of accounts to a mole convenient season, without having their suspicion aroused in any way whatever. The news of the man's pain fully sudden death even war received with astoeishmentaed sincere sorrow, and his remains were interred with every token of attectiocate regret. It was not until they turned to the necessary settlement of partnership and busmen affairs that his partners and friends made the startling discovery that the deceased had bees carrying on a fraudulent sys tem of obtaining nub to an unknown amount by means of fraudulent bills, in which the signatures of persons dealing with the firm were used as acceptances without their knowledge or consent. His earners, who expected the firm was clearing about 2,01/01. a year, have been well nigh rained by this deceit ; and instead of a comfortable balance of 4,0001. in the hands of their backers, they found but 1,5004, which may in ell probability be cocidemeed oa account of bills in the buds of the bank. The way in which deceased effected the fraud was this. It is well knows that ship captains are in the habit of drawing *deuces from the merchants or brokers who freight their vessels, is order to pay bills and port charges, and of receiving various gratuities. As the firm of Riches, Kay, and Marshall did a pretty extensive chartering bunnies, such advances and ray meats were often made, end almost invariably by the deceased. The person to whom be paid an account was sure to be entertained with an interesting 000verrtion on reli gious or other topics, according to taste, the inisoioos merchant in the meantime folding and turning about a piece of blue paper, with an apparently careless sir. On the paper ware pencilled a few words of receipt for the amount advanced, and having a pen handed him at same stegeof the proceedings, the unsuspecting captain readily "put his name down," as requested. The deluded recipient of the advance basis( taken his departure, the wily mer chant was then at liberty to unfold his paper, which easalued the form of a bill stamp, and the pencilled receipt being duly obliteented, the paper could be filled up to any amount, the siguatarepf the person who had received the advance appearing across the paper in the form of an se. ceptanos. Such wee the repute of the firm that this sort of paper would be discounted to any amount by the basks, aud &siestas the bills became due they could be sully re placed by negotiable acceptances of the same character. Thus it is not kisown what amount of bills of this kind may be reunite, for on the opening of the safe, after Mr. Kay's death, there were found no fewer than 150 blank bill anions bearing the names of various parties who had signed them innocently in the way we have already indicated. The stamps were principally of le. and 2a each, and they were oo doubt intended to be tilled up and passed off as genuine Lille, so that deceased would have been able to ob tain almost any amount of money from the dis counters. It is impossible to say to what extols' this sys tem might Wive been carried tint fee its interruption by the death of the perpetrator, but se the steps in mime" are said to be gradual, but to follow feel, a longer conti nuance of the fraud might have produced ultimately a commercial catastrophe of great magnitude. The painful revelations we have described fell like a bombshell among the commercial public and those who knew Mr. Kay, and besides the partners, many of deceased's intimate friends anal relatives, it is said, will be heavy sufferers by his cow duct. It is reported that me gentleman who owned ves sels along with deceased received a dishonoured bill on New Years Day, and on hurrying to the office to ascertain the cause of its non-psyment was astonished to find Mr. Kay was dead, and still more astonished, no doubt, to tied afterwards that deceased bad been guilty of such fraudulent Vransectioas. There is another story, to the effect that Mr. Kay got a well-known and experienced solicitor to make a will, disposiog of a large amount of property with much form and pomposity, and on the strength of that easily in duced the solicitor to lead him 2,0001., or some similar amount. Fortunately, however, the legal gentleman is question obtained back nearly the whole of the amount. A ' rumour has been current that deceased must have com mitted suicide owing to the state of his affairs, and the probability 3f a speedy exhumation of the body is talked of. We believe , however, that the come:acted on the doctor's certificate, which was quite satisfactory and con clusive as to the cause of death, and therefore it is sot likely that the inquest will be recessed. It is generally supposed that the realisation of deceased's estate will cover all claims against the firm that may arise through deceased's cures of conduct. — Nearside Chronicle. MARKETS.

I&—There has been very little change in the tone of the yarn and cloth market during the past week. The resistance to high prices LAS been couttoued by buyers, whilst spinners and manufac turers have shown a good deal of firmness. The general ex perience of the trade, however, seems to incline to the opinion that the entire advance obtained through cotton speculation at Liverpool, a fortnight a;o„ has been lost, and that practically buyers are able to operate, to such slight extant as they feel disposed, at about the prices entreat before Christmas. Very little, however, has been effected. The opinion continues to prevail that there is no safety is buying at present prices. Ow the other had, manufacturers are relying upon the effect of the many mils recently stopped in checking any considerable giving way, and those who are not heavily burdened with stock bold with much firmness. The holders of large stocks (who are few in mamba) ars rather easier to deal with at the close of the week. In yarns there has been some business for export, chiefly for Chios, but at rather lower prices. Home-trade consumers of yarn are doing very little bushier's. There has bean more inquiry for yarn and cloth during the last few days, but it appears to have been more with a view of tst iegp aces than actual banners, sad such offers as have been made have mostly been too low for acoeptence.
