He had a copy of Lefone's amount from 1857. It contained full particulars up to the feller.. They had goods of Lame in hand to the amount of hsoof.The bills manias accepted by him far Laurence, Mortimore, and Co., were about 1 5,0000. ; it ins between 15,0001. and 17,0001. There were draftsoe lame accepted by strostfeild• and Co. to the amount of 17,2501. There were therefore two sets of bills running. Mr. Kerslake did not propose to all any other witnesses for the amignees. He thought he had sufficiently illustrated the system of trading, and the trailing Seidl appeared on the face of the accounts. Mr. Linkleter then proceeded with his case, and called Mr. William Smith—He was one of the firm of Smith, Patient, and Smith. la 1844 he went into partner ship with Mr. Patient. Before joining him he never saw him. The partnership was negotiated by his brother Mr. J. Herbert Smith, and his „brother-in-lew Mr. Lao ream. His capital as 1,0001., a loan Irvin his father. Patient also introduced 1,0001., which he said he got from Streatfeikd and Co. The yard was stocked by Strestfeild. During the first year he should think the stock provided by Streatieild was ender 20,0001. They paid for that stock by acceptances. They had what money they required from Street. feild cod Co. for titeporpms of meeting those bills. At that time they were able to prove a portion of the money for the bills, and Streatfeilds drew for the balance. After the first year they continued to supply them with stock and mist them with money in the same way. They continued in partnership up to the panic of 1847. Streatfeild and CO. amiated them. They had bought stock of other houses, but to a limited extent. The lose by the panic was t 2,000/. or 24,0001. Mr. Lenience did not know the amount of their loss. He most have known they made a loss on the stock. Shortly after the panic his brother Henry joined them. He brought in a capital of 5,000(.-1,0001. front his father and 4,0001. which was lent to him They applied the money to the payment of Street. feild and Co. Their loss by the panic wee not known until several months after. In the interval they took a new tan yard, which had belonged to James Herbert Smith. Strath. feilds supplied that Millard with goods, by which the ac count was increased. They drew on them for the goods, and also assisted them in taking up the They continued their basins to 1857, when soother panic came. He be lieved in 1847 they were perfectly solvent, sod he was not sufficiently conversant with the business to give an idea of their lows. They sent • weekly amount to Streatfethl and Co. of the amount of money required. He could not tell when the system commenced, but knew it had been going on for the last two or three years. He believed that in the papnoic of 1857, the amount of indebt edness to Sttaatfisld and Co. would very likely be 80,0001. or 100,0001. The loss by the panic was about 24,000/., and they had a deficiency to that amount. During that panic be had frequent eonvereatiom with Mr. Laurence, a n d I occasionally with Mr. Mortimer*. His brother, Mr. James Herbert Smith, was generally there. They did not talk of their losses. It war about th e difficulty of getting money. There was an ahension that they ought have to sto. Mr. Linklate ppre r— And that Streatfeilds might have p to Ei Vtasse—We knew we should not 'meet* stop if they did not. (Laughter.) Mr. ImUlter —And if you hod stepped would they have had to have now so ! Witness—Vert likely! Witneu resumed—Meeire Btheetfeibt kept them on their lege over the panic. They continued their araistance down to November, 1858. Payne and Clark than failed, and their debt tothe home of wither ins to 7,500/. Mr. C. G. Lowts—lt in is the belanceeheet at 17,7511. Witham mid the,. were bille rum* on which they way liable. After_ Payee ered Clark's stoppage, he objected to their having further arsidanso. He had coavereatics . se with lAOTIIIIM and Mortimore as lie His brother, Janus Herbert Smith, was pas. t. He refused to advance say further, and Mr. Mortimer* mid he ought to be ashamed of kiwis& He amid if they went on ad vaocing in this way, limey and hie brother would sot have a penny left. They got to high words. Mr. Latimer and his brother, Herbert Smith, conciliated them. It was proposed by Mr. LAMM/DM to make • " family calamity orit. (A laugh.) .„It was arranged that their affairs demist be wowed up, and +item should go out. Streatfrild and Co. provided them with money to afford aseistence to Payne and Clark.

The funds remain firm, and a further improve ment of per cent. has taken place. The purchases have been partly to cover pre vious speculative sales. In the other markets business is inactive, but general firmness is observable. British railway stocks, in two or three instances, aro again rather better ; but South Eastern exhibits an unfavourable re action. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter§ opened at 68fr. 8&c. ex div., but receded to 68fr. 75c. being It per dent. lower than yesterday. _ _ Consols are officially marked 931 ex div. for the account. The present quotation is 931 to The official business report is as follows :—B►uk Stock, 234+; Three per Cents. Reduced, 93, 921 ; New Three per Cents., 93, 924, 93k, 924 ; Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in April, 1886, 16 ; India Four per Cent. Debentures, 1868, 901 ; Exchequer Bills, 55., 45., 2e. dig. Foreign stocks are steady. The transactions have been rather limited. The Turkish loan of 1854 is quiet at 714 to 721, and that of 1858 at 574 to 581. Sales are recorded as follows : Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1858, 864 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 98 (exchange 251 r.) ; Chilian Six per Cents., 102 ; Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 1001; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 96 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, 474; ditto for account, ca ; Spa nish Three per Cents., for account, 514 ; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., for account, 421, 1 ; ditto Passive, 231 ; the Committee's Certificates, 61, 1 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1868, 574. The steamer Kangaroo, for New York, has taken 82,0001. in specie. There was a good demand for money yesterday at 41 to 5 per cent. for bills of a high class. The appli cations at the Bank were to a fair extent. The de mand at the close of the week will probably be brisk, owing to the intervention of the holiday on Monday and Tuesday. The Roxburgh °ladle, from Melbourne, with 167,0001. in gold, has now been at sea seventy days ; and the Great Britain, with 474,0001., 61 days. The latter, being a s teamer, may soon arrive. The Indus, which will sail to-morrow, will take 208,4151. in specie, of which 53,5381. is gold and the rest silver. Subjoined are the particu lars : For Alexandria, gold, 15,5001. ; Mauritius, gold, 25,0001. ; Ceylon, gold, 2,0001 . ; Madras, ' 5,5,9961. ; Calcutta, silver, 90,2101., and gold, 421. ; Singapore, gold, 2 , 0001., and Elver, 4 0001. ; Hong Kong, silver, 32001. ; and for Shangha, silver, 8,8671. The Mexican dollars by the Tamar have been sold at se. 2td. per ounce, being id. below the price recently current. It appears from the New York advices that the rates of discount for the best bills still ranged as high as from 12 to 18 per cent. per annum. The transactions in bills on London were not large, the market retaining an unsettled appearance, and the tendency of the rates at the close was downwards. The quotation was from 102 to 104 for good bills. Some of the private advices express an anticipation that the resnit of the quarrel between the North and the South will be the arrangement of a convention, in accordance with the spirit of the President ' s Message, charged to amend or authoritatively explain the constitu tion, in the sense of a compromise. Meanwhile the continuance of the difficulty exercises a power ful effect upon business transactions in every quarter. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally steady. The rate on Hamburg was rather lower, and that on Frankfort higher. Subjoined is our usual list : Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.174 to 4 ; 3 days, 11.15 to 4 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 1L174 to j ; Antwerp, 3 months 25.35 to 40 ; Hamburg ms. baron, 3 months, 13.6 to j ; Paris, 3 days' ought, 25.174 to 22j ; ditto, 3 months, 25.45 to 66 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 1171 to 118 ; Petersburg (per rouble), 3 mcnths, 341 to ; Vienna, eff. do., 3 mouths, 14.40 to 50 ; Tneete, ditto, 3 months, 14.40 to 50; Madrid, 3 months, 49j to ; Cadiz, 3 months, 491 to 1 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.65 to 70; Genoa, 3 months, 35.574 to 624 ; Milan, 3 months, 25.574 to 1124 ; Naples, 3 months, 394 to 4 ; ; Pa lermo, 3 months, 1191 to Meswimi, 3 month., 1191 to ; Lisbon, 90 days, 52j to 63 • Oporto, 90 days, 63 to 4. The Bombay mail rid will be deli vered in London to-morrow morning. Messrs. Dodge and Giandonati, manufacturers of India rubber, &c., of St. Paul's-churchyard, have stopped payment. Their liabilities are nelieved to be rather limited. In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday a further ad journment for a month was ordered in the ease of Mr. John Dales, merchant and contractor, of Gresham House, whose liabilities are 50,0001., and assets uncertain. Friday next, the 21st inst., is the last day for receiving tenders for the Jamaica Guaranteed Loan of 50,000/. The petition to the Stock Exchange Committee to close the establishment on Monday next was ex tensively signed to-day, and no doubt is entertained that it will be acwided to. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was de ' cidedly more active, the sales reaching upwards of 20,000 bales, including 10,000 on speculation and for exportation. Prices were quoted IA to id. above last Friday's rates. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending Nov. 30, were 8,3301. sterling, being 4141. more than in the cur responding week of last year. The report of the directors of the Namur and Liege and Mona and Manage Railways comprises chiefly an &Bunion to the burtheu imposed upon the compel.) , through the claims for compensation arising out of the serious accident which occurred on the 31st May, 1868. Fourteen actions have been decided, and 25 have been arranged. The amount adjudged against the company is 3,6501. Sixteen more actions are still pending, upon which the company may be required to pay to the additional extent of 4,250/. The directors will appropriate to this purpose the whole of the half-yearly rental receivable from the Belgian government, as well as 2,0001. arising from sales of stores and land. There will, therefore, be nothing for the January dividend on the original shares, but the directors believe that these resources will enable them to satisfy all the claims referred to without infringing upon any future dividend. The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany have issued an advertisement offering S per cent. per annum for loans on debentures. The half-yearly interest is advertised on the de bentures of the Canada Landed Credit Company. The Unity Joint Stock Bank have just 'opined a branch in Mount-street, Westminster-road. The decided firmness of the market for the shares in the various London joint-stock banks indicates that favourable reports are expected at the ap proaching meetings. Subjoined are the latest quotations of insurance, gas, and other shares, as given iu the Stock Ex change list of last evening : Insarance—Engle. 7 ; Globe, 100, 991, ex div. ; Guardian, 51f, 1; Imperial Fire, 355 ; ditto Life, 224 ; Indemnity Maria*, 148; Liverpool and Loudon Fire and Life, 91 ; Lon don, 471, 4 ; London and Provincial Marine, 4 ; Ocean Marino, 4, flj, 9 ; 'fhamee and Mersey Marine, 3 1 , a, 4 ; Universal Marine, 3j, j.

Foreign and colonial mining shares remain very quiet at former prices. The manager of the Silver Vein - Mining Com pany (limited) has received from the mine two blocks of silver goesan, one weiOing 2 cwt. and another 1 owt. ; these are descriW. as being the largest samples of such ore. ever seen. They con tain about 200 os. of silver to the ton.

FINE AT OAINKBORDUOR. —OD Monday night last, a little after 9 o'clock, a fire broke out in the newly erected flax-works, at Gainaborougb, the property of Mr. Manning, which raged with terriblo s Agnes fur the space of eight hours. Two fire engines were on the spot in the course of an hour from the discovery of the fire, but all hough an unlimited supply of water was at hand, tile premise* being situated on the banks of the river Trent, it was found impossible to save any portion of the buildings, the roofs and walla of which fell with a crash, one after the other, in nu incredil...v short space of time ; and as the flames bad also spread to seven stacks of awarded flax adjoining, each containing about tons, the conflagration lighted up the surrounding country for miles. The null itself was crammed with tine OAE, and all kinds of machinery of the most valuable and costly cha racter, some quite new, all of which b: more or leas injured or completely &Mears!. the total leas will amount to several thousand pounds, and we regret to learn that Mr. Maiming is only partially insured in Cie Suffolk Alliance. The catastrophe will be a sad one, too, for the towo of Oainsborough at this time of the year, for 70, if not more, hands will be thrown out of employ. The cause of the fire is not known, hut there is reason to believe that it origin ated in one of the engine bonnet. Tluoughout the whole of yesterday the flax was smoking and smouldering, it being almost impossible to quench it. TES ATTEMPTED MusD= NEAR SHEFFIELD.— Yesterday, Joseph Ibbotson, • collier, Heim.; at Thorpe Healey, was brought up at the Sheffield Town-hall, before the mayor (H. Vickers, FAq.). charged with attempt inc te murder William Crooke., of the Engine House, Smithy wood, near Fs.xlesfield. Mr. A. C. Branson appeared for the prosecution, and applied to the magistrates for is re mand, in order to see whether the injured man was likely to recover or not. He then stated the facts of the card', which appeared in our yesterday's impression. It also transpired that the police had succeeded in finding a clear impression of a mates boot near the window of Crooke'', house. They went to the prisoner's house in order to mak* an investigation, and there, notwithstanding that his wife objected to a march being made, succeeded in fimliog •• boot, the nails and general appearance of which corresponded exactly with the impression found near the window. It is somewhat singular that the prisoner, who was at work at the time this investigation took plane, whoa apprehended, was wearing the corresponding boot to the one found in his house. The prisoner, who said he was not guilty, was re manded till Friday. igiii WAN YAM 11‘001 10,000 100,000 00,000 44174 10,000 40.000
