It alter Fateceet, guilty of a burglary in the house of Frances Elisabeth Croft, at Blackburn, was brought up to receive sentence. Being asked if he had anything to say wby the judgment of the court should not be pronounced egeinst him, he made a lengthy appeal to the court, as suring his lordship that necessity had compelled him to commit the robbery, for his wife and children were starving. The learned judge said if the prisoner had stolen a loaf of bread for his starving family he could have understood the fact of necessity better then be did from the extensive rob bery of coats, trousers, parasols. drets•pietes, two pairs of spectacles, and other articles, which clearly moved that the prisoner desired more gain than merely to satisfy the hunger of his family. The mutest* of the court was that he be inapt i.oned and kept to hard labour for one year.

Any person, of the cnm mount undentandlng, would at once have known that the article*, for the receiving of which be had been Indicted, Rust have formed part of the produce of the robbery of a &man Catholic chapel.

She after wards made a codicil to this will, in which she altered • 1. gay of 401. • year to 301, and made other Will g altera.l tio..s. The .huge. against the prisoner was, that he added to this codicil what now constituted the charge in question, namely, that his wife also bequathed to him all her persona { prepetty, thereby making nail the previous bequest to the provost and bailees of Glasgow. Mr. Catturall then ceded Mr. George Noble aid Yr. Thomas Pritchard to prove the settlement giving Blaisithunt power to dispose of the property le works.

He stated that he was an WtOrney of Preston. He bed known the IMMer as au attorney in Preston for many years. lie recollected going to Lisbon-hall on the 3rd of June last. He had transacted the particular business for wok's he went, and had left the home with Mr. Amb'er, whea he mw the primmer in the garden.

The prisoner then went into the house, and returned to about A minutes, and said he was ready. Wither and Mr. Ambler then returned with the prisoner into the hotter. They ernt into a room in which Mn. Blackhurst was mated at a table with her back to the door. Th_ prisoner went in first, followed by witness.

Blackburn pat on her spectacles when she signed the codicil. She bad, also, • *bade over her Cron examined by Melamine Wilkin—Would not take upon himself to say that the interlining was not then. He had attnded severel other wills or codicils of Mrs. Bieck. burst's. He did not notice say blank in the instrument on the 3rd of Jun.. He was in the room shout twenty tointes, and the dxument was there the whole time. Mrs. Black burst ordered some win e , of which lir.

They all left yo u room Oftener, exoeptilin Blackburst, leaving the document on the table. Re-examined by Mr. Pollock—After Mrs. Bleekbunt had signed the paper, the prisoner folded it in the form it was previously, namely, n fo li o o ; and it was so left on the table when they le ft the room. The eic.l in which the supposed forged interlineation took pine was then read. Mary Thompson was afterwards examined by Mr. Pollee& —She maid she use brought up by the late Mrs. Siackhlsrilt She used to call her " Aunt." Attended her ma met of her illnesses. Remembered the time Mr. and Kra ark hunt went to Lisbn-hall. It was in Ma y, 1860. Nies Si ten months ago, Mrs. Blackhunt gave her a parcel, eon tank g her will.

Blanhuret spoke of it as a codicil, and that she was to de - I liver it to Mr. Pedder, at the bank. It was between six and seven in the evening when Mrs. Blackburst gave her the parcel. Mr. and Mn. Machinist went to Buxton on the Thursday of that week. Mrs. Manhunt had not good sight at that time. Bhe could not see to read. They re maned at Buxton till the Tuesday following. Saw Mrs. Mackhunt on her return. I By Mr. Wilkins—She did not know who her parents were. Ilia had been in the habit of cairn Mrs. Blackburn nun stag mother. She could see sufficiently to sten her name. it,. Madder, examined by Mr. Catterell—He said he wee a hanks at Preston. Knew lire. Blackhunt, and had authority to honour her cheques. Attend, d her 'funeral on the 3rd of Anon. After the funeral, he produced at Lie. l bon Hall a packet, folaed in white paper, aea'ed and ad dread to him, in the handwriting of the prisoner. Believed he received it from one of his clerks. Also produced another parcel, wrapped in a onrepaper, with a ribbon round it. He received this panel from the last witness. He gave three dosamewts to Mr. Noble, who opened them. The latter rid the parcel in the newspaper contained a copy of a will in ffilesigew : the one in the white paper contained a codicil. Mary Ann Miller, examined by Mr. Pollak.—Said she l iesided in Olesgow, and was a sister of Mr. Kerr, of I Preston. In May last she visited her brother, and stopped I pone time with him. She was introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn abnut ten days before the latter died. On that occasion, a paper was given to wines. by Mrs. Manhunt, contaiaiug a message to the Lord Provost of Glugow. Mr. Pollock said hi was shoot to ask the witness what that message wu, but his learned friend Serjeant Wilkins objected. His lordship thought that the question should not be put, u it was merely a verbal message, and did not relate to an act done. At Mr. Pollock's request, however, be would cusult Mr. Baron Alderson, sad retired eccordiogly. On his return, he stated that Mr. Pollock might ark what that massage was if it related to an act to be performed by an one. Witness neirearnined—Sbe was to deliver this message to the Lord Provost, but she delivered it to Mr. Forbes, the town clerk. She was to nil the Lord Provost that Mrs. Blackburn's will was still the same, and at her death the authorities were to correspond with her attorney, Mr. Noble. Mr. Pollock was about wattling with further in qu rite of the wow nature, when Serjeaet With s said be did not think inch evidence cams within the ruling of his His lordship coincided in the learned serjeant's view. I end Mr. Pollock refrained from goiog any wither with thie witness. William Brierley, examined by Mr. Catterall, said he was acquainted wi.h the prisoner. He (witness) was a tenant under Mrs. Blackhurst. On the 23rd of April be but a con• venation with his. The prisoner told him that Mrs. Bleckborst bad said that it he would go with her and live at Lisbon-ball she would leave him all her property. He said he had speed to do so, as his children bad not behaved well to him. After they cam" back to Buxton he saw the pr;soner again, when he said the journey had improved Mr. }Pack horses health, and she had done what she promised. Mr. Arthur Forbes, town clerk of Glasgow, examined by Mr Pollock—He stated that the names in the codicil namely, the Lord Provost aid the magistrates appointed se trustees to the bequest of Mrs. Blackhurst, were all correct, a,.d that they were etce at the time it was made. This was the close of the ease for the prosecution. B•rjeant Wilkins then rose to address the jury, in his usual eloquent manner. He carefully analysed the evidence produced, which, he argued, in no manner proved the seal- ' out charge against the prisoner. Many of the witeemlis were interested parties, especially the authorities of Ulan gow, who were rspreasnted by the town clerk, now in cowl, and who had been instructing his learned friend for the prosecution. Not one of the witnesses had sworn to the fact of the prisoner having, by any act of his own, lOW mitred the crime of which be was charged. Been Mr. Ashcroft, a most important witness, would not sweat sap thing positively as to this interlineation. He merely thought the document had a different appearance now to what it had when he attested the signature of Mrs. Blackberst. The learned aerjeant then drew their attention to the hes probability of the ;ginner, if he had committed the forgery, asking snub respectable witnesers to attest the document. It would have been much more like the conduct of a men, under such circumstances, to have procured some of his servants as witnesses. He had sot dose so, nor had he stPcted any concealment in the matter; for he not only requested the respectable parties brought ,before them to witness this codicil, but he forwarded it to Mr. Felder, the trustee under hie wife's will. The learned serjeant concluded by a powerful appeal to the jury on be halt of the prisoner. His lordship summed up at great length, and the jury, after retiring, brought is a verdict of Not Guilty. THE PLATE ROBBERIES. We gave yesterday the result of the trial is this The following is a more detailed report of the proceeds. after the despatch of our Liverpool wool on Thuredey Mr. Serjeant Wilkins asked his lordship to say was their case to go before the jury ? His lordship said that it was perfectly true that Mr. &frill had received a parcel; but there was no reason to suppose that he could have any knowledge that a partioular Colony wee committed, nor could he have knowledge of the contents of the parcel. Toe letter which preceded it said only that so much was seat. There was nothing to *:cite any suspicion that the contents of the parcel were some by unlawfully, unless there was a general under standing between Duren and Macaulay, the former agreeing to receive any property that might be sent him, and which he had some reason to believe that Macaulay had Oaten. Mr. Serpent Wilkins—From beginning to end there was nothing but surmise, because they saw the entire correspond- once. His lordship thought the correspondence was favourable to the prisoner.. However, as Mr. Blair wished it to go to the jury, be would not interfere with their province. Mr. Pollock then proceeded to address the jury on behalf of Macaulay. He contended that the evidence organist Macaulay was sot sufficient, and he only feared that the prejudice which existed in connexion with the prisoners, through the rumours which had been circulated by the press, would lead the jury toe wrong conclusion. Mr. Serf. ant Wilkins followed, and ob d that they bad before them one of the most respected and respectable tradesmen is the City et London as a criminal; and he (Serjaant Wilkins) knew that his only daughter, not mistruetiog her father's innocence, was waiting with breathless stalely to know their decision. lie h.si been anxious to spare Mr. Sirrell. He was tensions to cell on the jury to remove him from the position in which he use; te let him go forth with the consciousness that no imputation rested on his character, to convey pesos to his home, end to the comfort and prop of his age. He would take leave to warn his friend who conducted the pro secution that there might be eueb a thing as a conviction that shamed justice and outrased humanity ; he would take leave to tell him that there might be a conviction which might be the triumph of prejudice—which might be the triumph of tact and skill ever innocence; a conviction at which Heaven Moths d and all good men wept. Everything shiwed Sirrel to be an honest mac; be wee far more me- thotheal, punctual, and particular In his dealings than ninety nine out of the hundred tradesmen with whom he had to do.

COTTON.—LivnarooL, Dec. 13.—The present week o p ene d with a firm but qu'et market, the trade buying I sparingly, and the relatively high rates now current heeler/ limited all speculative transactions. The sales if Friday were only 6,000 leales : those of Saturday 6,000 ; of Monday 6,000 ; and of Tuesday 4.000 bales. An improved tone per vaded general trade in Menchtster on Tuesday : full prices were readily attainaole for manufactures; and the opinion gaining grand that peace would be maintained on the continent, gave general confidence. A consequence of this has been a decided improvement in demend bore, at some little advance in prices: the sales of Wednesday were 7,000 bake; and those of yesterday 8,000 bales; the total sales of the week amounting to 41.240 bales. To-day the trade again buy freely; and 7,000 bales are 1101 d, at the bight at ntrs of the week, including 1,000 token on speculation and for export. To-day there is a difficulty in purchasing the fair qualities of American at the quotations. American descriptions are in good request, and less freely offered : the quotations of "fair" qualities have not changed; but the lower and middling qualitim have uniformly advanced about ed. per lb. Brach. and Egyptians are without any material change in value. BaraU are film freely offered, particularly the lower qualities ; and they are dull of sale at last week's prime. 2,960 bales of American, 40 Ferman, 1,730 Ma rauhant, 70 Egyptian, and 1,710 Surats have been taken on speculation, and 440 of American, 40 Perusals, GO Bahia', and 1,410 Bursts for export.

With English and trick grain produce wean stall very seantilyeupplied ; of Wheat and Flour from the laded States, however, we have a moderate Import; a fair ea rival of Wheat from vanes and Egypt. and from France wholly a farther large supply of Flour. The state of our market today has grovel pretty nesrlr a counterpart of the foregoing observations. fleeing few country buyer', our home millers still much on the re ' serve, and but few parcels of Wheat taken fur Ireland, the truest. tone in any descripuon of that grain have been upon a very limited scale this morning, and our kid currency barely sugained.

The fat beasts, sect of which are of the Devon aad Hereford breed, elicited the sr armtst praise, but the feeders were very diasatirfisd with the prices obtained for them.
