Mr. Whately, 0.C., mended with this arbitratioa re esstkay, whoa the pout wu move densely crowded than e s the previous day, It having bora understood that the plaiadff would be sabjested to atese-oulanatios by Mr. &dual Wilkins. Mr. Ballantlne and Mr. Bused appeared for the plain tiff; sad Ms. Sequa% Wilkins sad Mr. Evans represented the defeedast. Me. Deviso's examination was proeuded with as follows: Befogs I loft Serbia. I had a sommanicatioa with a Mr. Pomona, • uhoolmaster there, shoat getting him a wife. He wee • widower—hie first wife died in the math of August, 1817. There an very few resident ladies at New Amsterdam. The population outside of 3,500 person. I wiestios if there were more than half-a-doses marriageable ladies resident there. It was very &fink to get • saitable wife there. The communication from Pb. Foremast wasia writing. I can produce that letter. The letter alluded to was then read. It was dated New Amsterdam, March 15, 180. Mr. Fortnum Meng ex pressed his man of the loss of his wife, meat on to my, that after mach prayer and meditation, he bad come to the con clusion that it was his duty to seek another partner, being influeseed in doing so by four oonsideratione—flrstly, the want of society and cotafort ; a regard for his own character ; thirdly, the seussity of having some ens to train ap his child; and, fourthly, the advising' of having a per lOU who could manage the girls' school. He then mid that he had discovered • suitable person in a lady who had bun very kind sad attentive to him—a Mrs. Stubbs, a widow. If be married her he would avoid the expense of getting eat a wife; but the principal drawback to his contemplated hippies's was that the lady had Ave children, which was ho somewhat compensated by the fact that certain house were settled on the joined* &abbess. The writer concluded by asking Mr. Davies for his advise wider these cirenmstaaces. Examination ooatinwid—Mn. Stubbs was a member of my church at New Amsterdam. She was a widow. She was !Wowed lady—slightly eoloared—what they eall • " cob." - - Mr. Barnard—What was her age ? The Arbitrator—Mrs. Stubbs may be alive, and this la nth'r a delicate inquiry. (Laaghter.) Witness- fthe was about 35. 1 received another letter from Mr. Foreman. I received it about the 23rd of July. I will swear I received it before the 25th. Berjeant Wiltins—l object to that letter being read, unless the envelope is prodamd. For all 1 know the letter, may here been written last year. The Arbitrator—l think it had better be med. The following pimp from the Letter, which was dated June 14, 1818, and addressed te the "Rat. E. Davin, Lei cester," was then read : " I mw your company very mach, and feel very lonely at timer, so L cannot help hoping my offer et Greenwich may have been accepted." _ . Witness—l went to Harwich on behalf of the society on the 25th of July, 1848. I was on leaving accompanied to the wharf by a minister, Mr. Hall. He introduced me to three ladies ; Kiss Tarranqwas one, Miss Smith wu another, the name of the other I do not remember. A day or two titer my journey from Harwich I again saw Mies Smith. In August, 1818. I received ;another letter from Mr. Fore man. dated July the 18th. The following *street from the letter was road:—" My attempt to find • partner in Greenwich in Miss M— has failed. I received a very kind letter on the su►ject from Mr. Lowe by the last mail. On account of illness she has been unfortunately obliged to relinquish all scholastic en gagements. She had received an offer from a young man who had a lucrative appointment in India, but the match was broken off by her family, they having been advised by a most eminent medical man that she would not stand a tropical climate for six months. Had it not been for this Mr. Lowe would have used his influence for me. lam now shut up. I know no one, but Providence will doubt less provide the helpmate in his own good time and way." The next letter was one dated Atignst 31,1848, in which Mr. Foreman wrote as follows :—" Your jaunt from Har wich teems to have been a very pleasant one. I remember Susan Smith very well, but I fear she Isnot a pious girl. I do not think her aunt would listen for a moment to her --..-.-- oomiog here. Having no child of her own, she dotes upon this Swan. lam sorry Mr. Lows should have treated you Do coldly. Perhaps he thought you had come to prose the matter, and therefore did not wish to give you an opportu nity. Since I left Caotionslall, a young lady has become a teacher there of the name of Mies --. I have never seen her, but in every letter li got from that quarter she is spoken of most highly. In a letter teceived per Last mail, her name is incidentally introduced, and it is said, who is a prise to us.' Her parents I think are tradespeople. She Is residing at No. —, High-street. Mr. could, I have no doubt, give you every information concerning her (is ennfideoce), if you were to write and ask him. I leave it to you to do as you please, perhaps you may have found a better." Examination continued—Mr. Prowl first mentioned the Greenwich letter to me is January, 1849. I was friendly with him at that time. I had a disagreement with him in March, 1819. I was employed by the London Missionary Societ after Mr. Prone mentioned the Greenwich letter to me. I went about as their deputation until after the close of the year 1850.

I gave the simple statement of the cue which on the day I named you gave me—via., that Mrs. Davies in 1846 bad received in the waiting room of the Mission•house a letter from myself written at Welling borough—that she read it in that room, and carelessly dropped it—that it had been picked up by one of the sub ordinates, and given to her again, but not until it had been copied—that yen had never seen that copy, but that Mr. Prout had read it to you. Such was your statement. I Lave added, se I did to yourself, that neither my wife nor I had any recollection whatever of the letter in question— that it might be mine or it might not; if mine, that my I belief was it had either been ' Grahanted' or purloined ; if not mine, that it mut have been a fabrication. Believe me I have no wish to give any representation on the matter but such u you gave yourself—that is bad enough, and in support et which I have the black and white' if your temporary colleague. I do not deny the authorship of that letter. I have. I neither deny nor admit, for I remember nothing about it; but if you bring from his hiding place the vile person who did the atrociou deed—if he will sign an affidavit as you propose, and prove the authenticity and the circumstances of that document, so u to convince me it is mine, I shall not deny it; and therefore I request that that may forthwith be done." Istbat your composition ? Witness—lt was under the direction of Mr. &obeli. Berjeant Wilkins—You say, " I gave the simple state ment of the cam which on the day I named you gave me." What day was that? Witness—The 27th of December, 1830. fierjesnt Wilkins—Did not Mr. Prost describe the letter as most disgusting ? Witness—l do not think he made any remark about it. fierjeant Wilkins—Will you swear Mr. Front did not describe it as filthy and abominable ? Witness—l will not. but I believe he did not. If I bad been aware of the character of the letter, I should have asked for it, and Banat assuredly I would have denied it. Serjeant Wilkins—Aye, aye, so you say now. Had you a second interview at the Mission-house with Mr. Prout that same evening ? Witness—l bed. _ _ _ tierit 7 int you not deny the anthonhip of that letter then? Witaese—l did not.

Witness—l did. tie; ;;SSI Wilkins—What did you say ? Witness—" And what think you, doctor, even the pri vacy of my correspondence with my wife has been violated." I made the statement which Dr. Tidman had made to me, and then I added that if there had been any letter of mine written at that time and deserving to be so characterised, it must have been " Grahamed" or fabricated. Mr. Ballantine—What do you mean by " Grahamed." Berjeant Wilkins—Oh, we all know that (Laughter.) Here is your letter of July 29. Yon wrote this, " I have added, as I did to yourself, that neither my wife nor I had any recollection whatever of the letter in question; that it might be mine, or might not ; if mine, that my belief was it had either been .Grahamed ' or purloined; if not mine, that it molt have been a fabrication."

Witnees—l did not. He could not hear me. He took out his watch, and said he could not wait, u he bad only five mutes. fierjeent Wilkins—Did you ever deny the authorship of the letter to Dr. Meals ? Witssese—l did set, except In the words that I Imo used THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1855. before, that if I had written scything Which deserved to be so characterised there must have been some foul play. Serjeaut Wilkins—Had you asked Dr. Tidman to be a member of the Morley committee ? Witness—l did. Serjeant Wilkins—Did he (Ned ? Witnese—He did. Serious% Wilkins—What objection did he urge ?

"My dear Sir,—l earnestly pope that gm will ace It compatible with the honour of religion to regard that un happy Greenwich letter with the same charity you have hitherto done. It was • most indiaereet letter. How I came to pen it I know not. I mast have done it under the impulse of a moment and without the least reflection. But God is my witness, I had no evil thought in the matter as to the Bethke stories or other story (for that affair in 1812 was so thoroughly cleared, sad so profoundly buried, that I apprehend it is scarcely necessary to refer to it). lam per fectly innocent, and challenge the most rigid investigation. In that matter I claim your sympathy. You know that it was a regard for the station that led me to allow my poor suffer ing wife to come home without me in the death of winter. No one knows what a trial that was to us both, but we endured it for the sake of God's eases. That very circum stance, however, esposed me to the deadliest shaft that was ever burled at me. Not that I have to reproach my self in the least degree. I ezereked all the care and caution that was possible for a man to do. Believe me, dear Sir, by Divine grace I was there preserved from anything sad everything calculated to my dishonour upon the Gospel, but I am not without my fears that your mind is powerfully influenced by that letter dated at Welling. borough. Allow me to observe that my last eogageosent there was on a Monday night, and that I left on a Tuesday. I shall by and by have something to say to you in reference to that letter ; let me, however, beg of you, at this stage, to divest your mind of all bias ging from that document. "En. Davin. " P.S. Let me also lay claim to the benefit of the fact that, though the Bethke brethren knew of that story, they never thought it worth their while to mention it to yon or to me. Assuredly they would have done so had they thought it anything but • vile slander; se finally, when they knew ; that as your deputation I was Introduced into the best fami lies in cur denomination throughout the country." , Witness—l wish, sir, to make an observation in reference to this letter. Allow me to state that there is a reference to the Greenwich letter in this note as to its being " ladle crest." This note was addressed to Dr. Thiamin after he I knew of the correspondence with Mr. Foreman, in which he solicited mete obtain for hiss a wife. The term "Lodi'- , erect" refers only to my manner of doing this. The ear . respondence was laid before the committee four days before , this note was written. _ &desist Wilkins—Did you au Mr. PrOut W alai pa a copy of the letter ? Witness—l went to Mr. Front fora ezweillke elnes wich letter, and he said he had sent it to ay Was as Wag he had sent the Wellingborough letter to my Wawa WWII I asked for it. Serjeant Wilkin Witnese—l did. Serjeant Wilkins then read a letter, dated March 29th, 1851, to the' Rev.'. J. Freeman, in which Mr. Davies alluded to the official language addressed to him by De. Tidman, in which be bore high testimony to his sad, hie successes, and his trials, as a missionary. fierjunt Wilkins—You refer to the official language used by Dr. Tidiness of you on leaving Bsrbice, had he ever heard of any charges against you in Berbice ? Witness—He had. Seriessit Wilkins—Take are, sir ! Witness—M answer is that he had. &dust Wi lkins—What charges? Witness—The charges in reference to the building of the cant Wilkins—Oh ! I am speaking of charges of im ty ! Had he at that time heard of the charge in reference to the black woman ? Witness—He had net. Serjeant Wilkins—Did you ever deny to Mr. Freemen that you wrote the Wellingborough letter ? Witness—l did not. I was going to do so on one occasion. It wu oa the lit of April, 1851. It was in the Mission.house. I told Dr. Tidman, Mr. Prone, and Mr. Freeman, that my wife was prepard to state she had never received such a letter as wu described. I did so also on the 21st of March. Serjeant Wilkins—You seem to have a wonderfully ac curate memory. Can yon not be equally accurate about sleeping at Mr. Bale's, at Wellingborough ? Witness—l swear, to the best of my belief, I did. Serjeant Wilkins—Will you swear that you did? Witness—ln deference to others who have sworn to the contrary, I will not. Serjeant Wilkins—There is no deference to persons in that box ; there is but one deference, and that is to truth. Will you swear it? Witnelk—l will not, but it is my conscientious belief that I did. Serjeant Wilkins—On your oath, who carried your port manteau to the railway station ? Witness—The omnibus. Serjeant Wilkins—Who put It on the omnibus? Witness—l believe ft was a man provided by Mr. Beale. Serjeant Wilkins—Will you swear that? Witness—l will not. Serjeant Wilkie Witness—l did. you write this letter ? give the man a shilling ? Sensant Wilkina—Did you give the servant woman at the house a shilling ? Witness—l did. I would here wish to observe, that in the letter to Mr. Freeman I express a sorrow that I hid " mentioned " the letter, not that 1 had " written" it, see ing that It had awakened Inch feelings of hostility against me. Seneant Wilkins—When did you first call for you accuser 1 Witness—At the Mistsion Hone, on the 25th of March, 1861, in the presence of Dr. Tidman and Mr. Front.

Seneant Wilkins—You tad a copy of the letter at the Mac Did you show it to him ? Witness—l did not. Sentient letter? CHAIOI OF nuxerasuto ♦ HALL MARX. Richard Rusts dared to take his trial upon an in dictment which charged him with having fraudulently and feloniously transferred the mark of the Goldsmiths' Com pany from a certain article of gold ware to a baser metal, 1 with intent to defraud. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Cox= conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. M. Chamber', Q.C., Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Sleigh, were counsel for the defence. This was a prosecution instituted by the Goldsmiths Company under the provisions of several statutes passed specially for the purpose of preventing frauds of the descrip tion specified in the indictment. It appeared that the ',li mner carried on the business of &jeweller in Goswell-antet road, and that in the month of July last a person named Themes Austin applied to him to manufacture a signet ring, which he desired to be of the weight of eight pennyweights, and to be of the fineness of eighteen carats of pun gold to the pound trey. The prisoner undertook to make the required article at the price of three pounds, and the case on the part of the prosecution was, that he had furnished an inferior quality of gold, and that he had trans ferred an old Goldsmiths' Hall mark from some other ar ticle into the ring he gave to Austin, and this was the fouodation of the present charge. It was admitted, how ever, that there was a very slight modulation in the quality of the gold of which the ring was really composed, and that although it was alleged that the fee to the Goldsmiths' Company for stamping had been saved by the operation, the additional profit to the prisoner, supposing the alleged fraud to hare been substantiated, would only have been& few shillings. William Thomas Austin, an Irishman, upon whose eel. deuce the charge appeared mainly to rest, was examined, and he deposed to the facts above stated, and also said that the prisoner told him distinctly that be was going to send the ring to the Goldsmiths' Hall to be stamped, and he at the same time showed it to him in an unfinished state. The witness was subjected to a very searching and lengthened cross-examination by Mr. Chambers, and the account he gave of himself appeared to be certainly rather extraordinary. He said that he bad originally been in tended for the medical profession, but did not follow it ; bat early in life he was appointed to the Irish constabulary, and since 1832 he bad been in the employment of the go vernment for several years, but was now living " private." He had been a warder in the Model Prison at Pentouville, and afterwards was appointed to the situation of auperin tandeat of convicts in Australia, having before this been an inspector of polies at Manchester. After his return to this country he received half-pay from the government for some time,•and his present moans of sub sistence were an annuity of 861. • year which he was en titled to in right alas wife, and assistance he'derived Prom his relations. His wife, he said, died in 1850, and he ad mitted that in 1861 • person named Murray lived with him ruble wife, and that she was a married woman with a grown up family. He denied having ever represented himself as the brother-in-law of this pima; but said he was cot ►ware what representations she herself might have made upon the subject. He was once, he said, given into cus tody by the husband of Mrs. Murray for having obtained a sovereign by false pretences in his name, and he uadirrwent two examinations upon that charge at the Themes police court, but he declared there was no foundation for the charge, and he said that, although he was remanded to the House of Detention to undergo a second examination, the proceeding war not an unsatisfactory one to him, because he thought it would• enable him to make out a better case in an action for false imprisonment which he in tended to have brought against the gen tleman from whom the money was obtained if he had sign ed the charge sheet. He NW Mrs. Murray as a witness or him upon the se aled bearing, and upon her evidence the charge was dis mieseL He said he remembered some time ago having puesbeeed a pair of pistols which had the crest of a emblems upon them, and that be took them to use working engravers in a garret in North ampeem-etreet to have the cued removed, and his own initials eubstitutsde but he declared he had not the nest MOM sesseilesties uf 'apt,* to those men that it would be a geed spenlation to go to Australia and make enereigu. Hu said be bed obtained hie knowledge of the quality of gold used in articles of this description from read-I tog an article is the Logsdon 'ozonic!, and this, he said, en • shied him to describe the particular quality he required, and he also stated that immediately after he received the ring from the prisoner, be took it to the shop of a surgeon and weighed it, and found that it weighed more than eight peanyweights. He said that he was not aware that on the very day when he took the ring to Goldsmith's-hall to be examined, Mrs. Murray went to the shop of the prieoner, but he admitted that the had, as he said, confessed having donee* afterwards, bat he declared that he was Ignorant of the object she had in going, and that to wee no party to the proceeding. The Lord Chief Justice, at the close of the croes-eiramin &lion, asked Mr. Clarkson whether he was in a position to gin any verbal corroboration to the evidence of the wit ness who wee the principal support of the ptomains ? Mr. Clarksoa said he could show that the ring was in the possession of the witness on the day he stated he bad received it from the prisoner, and also that the hall mark was undoubtedly transposed. The Lord Chief Justice said of course he was aware of these circumstance, of corroboration, but what he referred to was to ascertain whether there was any corroboration of the statement of the principal witness as to what occurred between him and the prisoner. Undoubtedly, upon the statement of the witness, a strong cue of suspicion was made apparent, and the Goldsmiths' Company bad acted moot properly in instituting the prosecution, in order to protect the Queen's subieets, who were not always in a position to protect themselves in matters of this description He must say, however, that, looking at the demeanotir of the witness, and the fasts he had admitted, he really did not think the jury would feel themselves justified in finding a verdict of guilty, unless the evidence this person had given was corroborated by other testimony. Mr. Clarkson said the company for whom be had the honour to appear had no other object than the interest of justice, and, after the observations of his lordship, he was authorised by the solicitor for the company at once to with draw from the prosecution. The jury said they were unanimouly of opinion that they could not have acted upon the testimony of the witness Austin unless be had been corroborated, and they imme • diately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. There was an attempt in the court to applaud the verdict , but it was repressed by the officers in attendance. NEW COURT. 11701 i TUN 13C070111. Alexander McDonald, who was convicted upon Monday of Laving forged a bill of exchange, was brought up for sentence. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that although at the time of the trial some doubts existed upon his mind, as to whether the jury might not bare their doubts so far raised as to give him (prisoner) the benefit of it, he entirely concurred in their verdict, which was. very proper one, and believed that they (the jury) thought him (the prisoner) l fully guilty of what was the blackest part of the o ff ence , namely, defrauding the poor orphan aed hopelessly mums. deriog away the money which belonged to her. The case was a peculiar one, and, under all the circumstances, he should order him to be kept in penal servitude for four years. This. with an unimportant cue of felony, closed the buaineu of this court. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. John Joice and Robert Burke were charged with bur glary. Police-constable Jolla Stallen, F 145, was on duty in Holborn between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning. Oa trying the shop-door of Mr. Challenor, tailor, at 240, he found it unfastened. Somebody pushed it from the inside, but the officer forced it open, and went in. He saw the two prisoners in the shop, and asked them what they were doing. They replied, " All right, my boy." Observing that several rolls of cloth and some ready-made clothes had been piled together, apparently for subsequent removal, he asked them if they belonged to the house. They replied " No," spoil which he rang the house-bell, and called to the waterman of a cab-stand close at hand. The maid-servant and Mr. Chapman (prosecutor's foreman) came down stairs, and disclaimed all knowledge of the prisoners, while the latter identified two coats on each of the prisoner's backs as belonging to his employer, as well as the ether property is the shop. The prisoners were taken to the police-station in a cab, and one of them was recognised as an old offender. On their way to Bow-street the officer beard one of the prisoners say to his companion, " It's a case with us, so it's no use being down hearted." The stolen property was worth 301. Inspector Dodd said he had been unable to ascertain how the premises were entered, as none of the doors or windows had been forced. His own opinion was that when the ser vant went for the family beer, at about 10 o'clock the pre vious night,—leaviag the door unfastened for the moment— the two prisoners having watched their opportunity, managed to get in and secrete themselves in the house. An empty cash-box bad been broken open and a desk. Mr. Jardine committed the prisoners for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Kidd, Elcia Kidd, and Rosina Payne, were brought up for final examination, charged with having com mitted a desperate assault on Ellen Anderson. The prosecutrix, a young Irishwoman, married, but se parated from her husband, and now on the streets, while stooping down, adjusting her shoe, in which she had placed five half sovereigns for safety, had been shamefully as saulted, without provocation on her part, by the three de fendants, who besides knocking her down and kicking her, had torn a portion of her hair away by the roots. Mr. Wakeling, for the defence, said his clients had been enjoying themselves freely at a party, and on their way home having been hustled and robbed, dealt out blows without intending to hurt any one in particular. Mr. Bingham said he had not the least doubt but that complainant's evidence was trustworthy. He should fine Kidd 3/. ; his wife, 21. ; and Payne 11. The fines were paid. Received 51. from C. H. W., for the poor box. MARKETS.

There was no opposition. Mr. Wellbourn, for the bankrupt, applied for a first class certificate, representing the cue u one wholly of nib fortune. His Honour said the only good point in the ease was that the books had been well kept. The bankrupt had begun with a deficiency; and the expenses were nearly double the profits. Mr. Wellborn said it wu the wish of the auignees that he should have a first class certificate. The .oh, I would not grant a first class certificate if every creditor came here end asked fur it.
