On the following day Mr. Holmes called as the de fendant and complained that he had infringed Professor heitatone's patent, wha.h the defendant denied, claiming the instruments manufactured by him as his own itiven tine. la August 11461 the defendiut obtained letters patent for as invention for " Improvements in Electro-Magnetic Telegraphs, and appar a tus connected thtrewith.

On his person were also found a est of pearl studs, which have been recognised by the deceased's work-woman as the property of her deceased master, and as hawing been usually kept in the drawers upstairs, which had been ran sacked. Jones refused to account for these studs. Harrison swore to Brandrick as one of the this. men upon whom he pounced. Jukes's footprinte were teased from the town up to the spot where Harrison disturbed the three men, and hack again running towards the town. Jukes was arrested in his house in Bilstou at about live ia the morning. He had just returned home and his boot., were wet. Jukes and Lille) , had been in custody of the police a few days before, and their boots had been taken off to be compared with foot prints elsewhere. Jones's boots distinctly corresponded with the marks in the yard of the deceased's house. Brandrick would be shown to have returned to his home shortly after the arrest of Jones, accompanied with Maddox, and they both then walked to Birmingham, where they stayed all night with Brandrick's aunt. In Birming ham Brandrick had plenty of money, and he sent hi s aun t to tell his mother where lie was. His mother arrived in Birmingham on the forenoon of Sunday, and wept over her son as concerned in the murder. His description bed bees posted as a ph* notice, sod his relations gave him other clothes to wear. He wandered about a few days and then gave himself op. The other men were all arrested in Balaton, all but Brandrick and Maddox, on the morning of the murder. All the prisoners had been in company shortly before the murder, and there is evidence which brings most of them apparently re connoitring Begot'', premises late on the Saturday night. Maddox, after midnight, is shown to have produced a pistol to a keel of them, and offering a pistol to either who would take it, said , " Now, lads, stick stout as lions." At day light a bundle of goods that had belonged to the murdered man war found cot far from Begot'', house. A number of witnesses were then called to prove the above facts, and the trial was being proceeded with when the court ream It will be resumed to-morrow (Friday). NORTHERN ClRClJlT.—lavzsroca., Day. 19. Caowx Couirr : H Before Ir. Hiroo Chtmatill.) The Fisitoitka, father and two eons, were arraigned to- day upon an indictment charging them with fraud and con. oPtrbeY• Mr. Higgin, with whom wits Mr. Holker, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Leman for the defence. Mr. Maggie said that the case into which they were to inquire was well deserving of their most serious attention, especially occurring, as it did, in the county of Leacester, the centre of great manufacturing operations ; became nothing could be of more importance to the enterprise and commerce of • great country than that all persons should be able to awn on their business operations without running the risk of being cheated or swindled out of their goods by persons whose constant habit appeared to be to establish themselves in various places for this sole purpose. The three men at the by were Winkles PtioAteiek (the fathers, and Witham and John Fishwick (the ions). It would appear that John Fishwick hod been for some time in the warehouse of • highly respectable firm in Man chester (Mem& Kershaw, LAM% and gidabonkna), and o f course there be would sot cal, have obtained • knowkdge of the qualities of goods, bet also of the places and modes of purchase. He left that establishment and for some time carried os Wainer upon his own account, but ultimately made some arrangement wish his creditor's, and then commenced the sena of Brew lions which formed the subject of complaint. In December, 1860, John Fishwick entered into arrears moots with the other prisoners to take two separate ware houses—or in Carrowiatreet, and the other in Dank. buildiop, m Manchester. At one of these places he carried on business under the firm of John Fishwick and Co., sod at the other wider the firm of Howarth. His mode of proceeding was to obtain goods first of all in the rod coulee of business by going to inspect the goods themselves, and by shipping some of tbeei ; for It was absolutely easeatial, m • conspiracy like this, that the con spirators should assume • footing of credit sad re spectability. This might account for some of the goods being shipped, while it would also account for ad verse brag Anther upon them. They appeared in par ticular to have gene to two persons, Mr. Heaskaw end Mr. Whsle, to have ordered goods, sad to have volunteered a referee% that referee., brag the invariable one given throughout thin trausetions—vis., Howarth sad Co., and • firm which weal under the name el 011otien end Armitage. " O'Brien and Armitage," however, maid net be found, or were never sees et their pies of and people eon esqually celled M the pisee Beak-Lai fop which had bar bran I. the user of Howarth and Co. Here Was. Fianna the you gar was always seen, and when gumtree were said as to the respectability of " Frhwick sad Co." he would soy, " Oh. they an • highly respectable firm ; we do business with rem to the extent of 5031 . 001001. • ace* end they_ gay their sooner with the peeler pos sible moderky." Upon these emerenem the impiren were ndide4 ad not may woe the Int trametica completed, bet others entered into afterwards upon the same eenditioos. It was • curious fact, however. that Mr. Howarth, of the firm of Howarth and Co., had never yet been seen—ot any rat* by the promentioa—and the learned counsel veetmed to door by eaybody. It was the theory of the prosecution that the firm of Howarth and Co. was fictitious from beginning to end ; that there was no such person es • Mr. Howarth, • meaufsetarte, in the of Bolles ,• sad that, in Br* "Howarth Zl ll o l V rima Jwse ohs Fnhwielt. Then wee boy em ployed at the mileblishreent eif Howarth awl Ow and be would state tint the anly pros he ever saw there was Willie= Fishwick, the father, and Willis. Flandok, the sow He bed frinpierly see. John Fisheick there, sad • good deal of eonespondesoe used to pass between him and '• Howarth and 0o." Them weld, us fact, be so doubt that John Fishwick played into the heads of his brother and father, foe the purpose of swindling the community. It would appear that this otfice boy received certain instructions that when perms called and inquired if Mr. Howarth was in, he was to tell them that Yr. Howarth did not come to town except spoil a Taseday end Friday ; and it would also swear that when penmen red to be heard come; up the stens, the elder prisoner (the father) would withdraw from or rem to soother while the office boy delivered the above merespe, and retain after the persons had gone. It would also be shown that John Fishwick actually seated his father William, to two persons as T V - . Howarth," see of t hese persons being a gentleman mind Cooper. Cooper asked on who the old man as, aud John replied, " That's Howarth." Now, if the jury found that John Fishwick , the arch-conspira tor and designer of all this freed, Weed his father and younger brother to joie him in the resection of these plans, in order to obtain goads, there could be no doubt whatever that these mss were guilty of the charge of con spiring together to defraud morn persons of their good.. As an illustration of the way in which the prisoners con ducted their holiness, Mr. Higgins mentioned that there were persons in Manchester who purebred geode at an in ferior prase and retailed them Apr while there were also persons whose bermes it was to risks advances as goods for a limited time, and if the goods were sot redeemed some addition' onsunission wee charged ups. the goods. It would be shown that io several instances goods obtained by the hoods before mentiened were on the same day or very era elterwards annoyed to two erablishineets, one kept by • Mr. Anher, sad the other by a Mr. Gill. He should he able I. err crams to identify the pods so ooe'veyed, ad to show that theme persons hail either purchaael them out and est at ea inferior price or advanced upon them. Evidence wee then called in support of the above state ment. _ _ Hi; lordship summed up, and the jury found ell the pprrrrooooaatt+stuilly.

Mr. Janice Blackburn told the prisoner that be could not Metes to the appeal fur mercy which had been addressed to the court. He felt the deepest sympathy for the father and the friends of the prisoner, whose respectability had bean pet forward in mitigation, but it was a Post-o Moe robbery of a most serious character, and could not be passed over lenieutly. On the whole, he felt it his duty to pew upon the prisoner the usual sentence in such cases, of four years' penal servitude.

Jets lirb r 39, servant, was indicted for unlawfully oroopirleg with one Louis Billaud to obtain a 'Hustles am butler in the wriest of Sir John Norton Knatobbull, Bort., by mous of • films certificate of diameter. Kr. Gifford sad Mr. Knatchbull Hopson, conducted the proescatios ; the prisoner wee undefeaded by counsel. Mr. K. flugeseen, is the show, of his learned leader, opened the ere is brief terms, sad called It J. Keeton Kentskball, the prassalmor, who elated he resided in ebealuim-place, Belgravia, and at Ashbourne, in Kent. On the 4th October last he advertised in the rinses for a butler, and tractive,' a letter from the pregame, offer ing himself for the situation, and stating that the last place he had been is was as knitter to the Duke of Somerset. On the Bth October the witness saw the primmer in Chesham place, when the prisoner stated, in &sower to questions put to him, that he had last lived in the service of the Duke of Fionivreet, as butler, and that be had left of his own accord. The prisoner gave, as a reference to his character, the came of a Louis BiUaud, who he said was the house steward to the Duke of Somerset. The proem:Lave then left town for the country, and subsequently received' a letter signed and purporting to be written by Louis Billaud, who styled himself as the house steward of the Duke of Somerset, in which the writer stated that the prisoner had been in the same service as butler, and that be bad left the employment of his own account. The prisoner bad before stated to the prosecutor that he had not been in any other service after leaving the Duke of Somerset's establishment. In consequence of this the prosecutor engaged the prisoner in the capacity of butler, and accordingly he entered the service of the pr at his country seat in Kent on the 18th October lo o t, and remained there until November, when he was discharged by the prosecutor for drunkenness. Inquiries were then set on foot as to the character be had received with the prisoner, which resulted in the application to the magistrates fora warrant fur the apprehension of the prisoner on this charge. The Duchies of Somerset was then called and deposed that the man Billaud, mentioned in the indictment, was only butler in her establishment, and had quitted the service on the 10th August. Whilst in the employment he was expressly told by her grace that be was not authorised to give a character to any of the servants. The prisoner Kirby had been in the service as valet and groom of the chamber, but left in the month of May last, in consequence of his in temperate habits, about which she had spoken to him in the presence of the man Billaud. Her grace was here handed a letter, which she identified as having been sent to her by the primmer, and it which he attempted to explain the circumstances under which he had been irregular in his habits, attributing them to family and domestic differences, and expressing his sorrow for the trouble he bad caused to his grace and to herself. The housekeeper in the Somerset family proved that the prisoner had indulged in habits of intoxication, of which Billaud was well aware, and which had led to the prisoner's dismissal from the service. A witness wee called to prove that subsequent to leaving the service of the Duke of Some*, the prisoner had been in the service of tbe Right Hoe. eirt Lowe, from which he bad been discharged for similar misconduct. Smith, a detective officer, Is whose lauds the warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner had been placed, proved that he had watched the helmet Ballad, and had seen him and the prisoner in communication with each other. He took the prisoner into custod, and when searched at the police station there was found ' upon him a book containing entries of what Billaud wee to say in reference to his (prisoner's) character and previous situations. When before the magis trate at the Westminster Police-court, the prisocer celled Billaud as a whasess, and after Billaud bad given his evi dence he was ordered into custody, bat he was not now forthcoming. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, entered into a long ambling statement, in which he mate a frivo tom attack upon lady Knatchball, denying that he bad been drunk hi her earvion, as alleged, and urging that he did not consider he bad committed any wrong by seeking an employment in the meaner be bed dom. The Recorder recapitulated the evidence to the jury, who immediately returned a main of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION•HOUSE. _ A man who gavel;Winiine as (le;r; Smith, }Hit whose real name wee William &Dithers, who was brought up on Monday lut before the Lord Mayor charged with being in the vaults of the General Pat-office, was brought up for fin►l examination. Mr. Peacock, of the solicitor's department of the Post office, prosecuted. It appeared that at about half-put seven oc Sunday morning last Pulicenonsteblo 4411 went into the vaults of the Poet-office, and found the prisoner lying on his back behind • desk, and completely covered over with some begs, apparently asleep. He mused him up, sod asked him what he did there, and he said he had you there at it o'clock on the previous night to sleep. He took him to the sta tion, and on searching him found two gimlets upon him. Police-constable 403 went to look after the vaults in the absence of the other constable, and found on a shelf near where the prisoner was detected a small crowbar, which be produced. He stated to his lordship that there had been several robberies in the vaults lately, and on one occasion while on duty there in the morning be saw the prisoner leave, and asked him what he wanted, when he add he wanted to see the foreman of the gasfitters. Knowing the prisoner had been employed as a psfitter's labourer, he allowed him to go. The officer now stated that he had discovered where the prisoner lodged, and found that his real name was Smatters. He searched his lodgings, and found a number of tools which were identified by his late employer a his property. The Lord Mi.yor said the small crowbar or chisel which had been produced appeared to him to be • kind of cold chisel, which had been used with • hammer for the pupae of cutting, and he thought it was hardly such an implement as a housebreaker would be in possession of. Mr. Peacock said • chisel of a similar kind had been left behind on the occasion of the last robbery. The prisoner, I. defence, said he was not there with any wrong intention. . . Th; Lord Mayor said, taking all the circumstaoces of the use into considerstioe, there was no doubt he was there for an unlawful purposes and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment. MARLBOROUGIII-STREET. Two ladies in the costume of Sisters of Mercy, who represented themselves as " visitors," brought a souther of children to the court for the purpose of getting them certi fied as " destitute," so that they might, under • magi strata's ardor, be taken to • Roman catholic establishment, known as Ides Stanley's school, in York-street, West minster, end there brought up and educated. The applies lion wan founded on the recent act of parliament which em powers a magistrate to send children under 14 years of sis to an industrial school, if found wandering about the streets in a state of destitution. One of the visitors here read frame paper the eases of the ree a bildren then in court, only one of which really he. to a parish in the district. The children, it was alleged, were living with very poor relatives, and the "So ciety " was willing to take the burthen of their maintenance on themselves. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could by no means countenance this loose proceeding. Here were young children collected from all mots of the metropolis and brought to that court to be made over to some charitable institution under a clause in the new act. But certainly the act never contemplated such cues, for the children were not wandering and desti tute, according to the meaning of the act, but were living with their friends or relatives. If he gore a decision at once it might be drawn into a precedent, and attended with cos sequenoes which at present he could not foresee. He must refuse the application, but he did sot say that he might not be induced to reconsider it if further evidence of a maiden tory character wee brought before him.

Mr. Preelerint Witlimn Salop, {-major of the Ist Surrey Rifle Volunteers, was char ore the Hon. 0. C. Norton with attempting to commit suicide. Unit-Colonel M•Dausold, colonel of the prisoner's corps, was present during the inveatigation. Mr. William Hoary Thomas, a gentleman belonging to the Ist Surrey, said that on the evening of Thursday, the 12th indent, while approaching the headquarters of the corps, in Hanover-park, Rye-lane. Peckham, he heard the report of a gun or pistol, and immediately after was told that Sergeant-Major Heelop had shot himasH. He in conse quence hastened into the building, and there found the pd. weer lying on the ground, with his net thrown open, his shirt slightly stained with blood and partly burned, sad • wound on the left breed, such as a bullet would have mule. On seeing him the prisoner said he was very glad he had come, and that be should not be with him long . He (Mr. Thome.) instantly sent fora medical man, and one attended, and in the interim he looked for the instrument from which the ball had been fired, and found the pistol in possession of the police inspector some distance from where Mr. Heston lay and which he must have thrown from his hand after he had disch it. In reply to the question of Mr arged . Norton the witness said the prisoner told him he had just lost his sister, and that this and his being about to leave the corps ti's next day made him very unhappy. The prisoser was not intoxicated at the time, though he was much excited, and had evidently been drinking. Dr. Griffiths said he saw Mr. Heslop in his rooms at the headquarters of his eaeps On examining him he found • 'light wsssd on the left breast, which be learned had been caused by a ballet fired from • pistol. The bell appeared to have been diverted from his body by the braid on his uniform coat, so that it struck the breast obliquely, and Wood in the li ning of the coat itself. The priest lll.o him (Dr. Griffiths) no reason for doing it, but at drat slid be ens sorry be bad not succeeded in his object. At that Yin however, he was under the influence of drink, and lees them his feeling had undergone a great change. He bad been visited by the Rev. Dr. Moore, and now expreined himself extremely sorry for what he had done. The prisoner said he was truly sorry for the way hurni- Hating position in which he was placed, and should never again attempt such an act of folly and wickedness. Mr. Norton observed that be ought to be truly grateful to the Almighty for his providential escape from self-mur der, and hoped be would never again think of an Ad so up ' like that of a soldier. Colonel M1)onoold said he cordially joined hi woaship in all he had mid. and added that from what he knew of Mr. Heelop, he believed that any promise his'lnaile he would scrupulously keep. The prisoner repeated his solemn promise never tO repeat the act, sad was discharvd. The POOlll-1101.-11r. Norton requested our reporter to acknowledge the receipt of a cheque for 251., the annual donation of the Grocers' Company, to the poor-box of this court.

The Common Serjenat told the prisoner it was useless for him now to deny his guilt, for be was pseactly Mailed of it. The prisooers had hem way carefully and property watched, ard there could not be a shadow of a dub: as to their guilt. In party statue* his lordship told the pi sorer East that It was of the utmost importance that persons in the position of carmen should be most severely punished when convicted of &lioness:as of this kind.

He was engaged by means of an advertisement, and hie mother told the prosecutor that he had never been in • pawnbroker's ceiploymeot before, though in fact he had, and had been convicted of rubbing has meter, and sentenced to three mouths' hard labour, and had been in custody on a charge of stealing a wateb, at Marlborough-street. The ammo be was now charged with was committed in One way. He was employed behind the prosecutor's counter, and pro. cured • number of please of wood the size of • Geneva watch with a thin pesos of lead upon each, placed them in the stock as pledges, and took the money supposed to have been advanced upon them out of the till. A pocket. book containing 98 duplicates was foetid in • coal cellar. The prisoner had substituted these dummies in some Instances for real pledges, and placed the proper ticket upon them. The prosecutor found in his stock about 80 spurious pledges, t 2 of which were dummies, and where chains were referred to in the ticket, screws were used to make up the parcel. These spurious pledges were entered as cash at the stock taking. The amount of cash represented the amount on the tickets. It was the prisoner's duty to file all the redeemed tickets on • file. The prosecutor examined the tickets os the redeemed file and found the principal sum represented by them to be 181. Ire. Yd., and the money in the till was 151. ltka 9d., being 21. 16s. leas than the amounts represented by the tickets. The prisoner was found Guilty, and Jones, polins-conitable of the L division, proved a former conesction against him for robbing Mr. Folkard, a pawnbroker io the Borough, and that he had bees in custody at Marlboroughetreet, with a man who now attended to give him a character, for stealing a watch. The prisoner said he was lona:eat, imputed the guilt to other parsons, and made assertions which were positively denied. He said that he bad the things which were called dummies made to perform emus Chinese tricks.

The pri ooner bad been some time in the employ of the firm at good wages, and they heretofore hollered him honest. The prisoner pleaded guilty, end bfr.

WOOL AND WO/WED.—BRADFORD, Doc. 19.—1 n the shoelace of any definite information as to the intentions of the American government, the quantity of business doing is the least possible. Purchases are only made to supply immediate and pressing wants. Lustre wools, which have been rn great demand, may be had at reduced prices. Down wools are without change. Operations iu both wonted 'lulls and piece' are exceedingly limited. The season, so near stock-taking, and the uncertainty which prevails with regard to our relations, tend to cause only a very scanty business. Still many 'Omen and manufacturers are well engaged on old orders. HOSIERY AND LADE TRADM.—Norrneousx, Der. 19.—Some large houses in the lace trade report an improved demand for plain nets, and state that there are a few buyers in the market, placing smell orders for the Continent. GeneeallT epeaking, however, most branches of the trade are in a aepnwsA oauditioe, and some manufacturers who usually deal largely for the home market, give a very dis couraging view of their prospects. Our report of the hosiery trade most be of a similar conflicting character, a little improvement being esperisoced by ow or two favoured houses, who manufacture chiefly for home consumption, while others, doing a more general trade, complain that there has been no alteration during the last few weeks. One or two orders have been given for America, to be exe cuted only if the present dispute be amicably settled, of which we ass vary little hope at present. —Norlinghani Journal.
