I Welt it was in 1848 oe I stated to lieatiedy 1 had not men Coyle at Clienta l= in 1846, and I did 'not. Ia addition to the 6001. gift sad the 5001. loan, a further nun of 2,8601. was transferred by my brother to my account at Cox and Greenwood's. Out of that 2.850'. I transferred 1,6 , 501. to the subset of my litotner Joseph. This was et the request of my brother Holder. That left 1,2001. I kept the 1 0001 for myself, 46 flOnl. sift, and tee 6001. lose. I paid the cotter 200 fto D'Arey, buns, my brother owed it to him. Up to 1861 I 101 a very realm and foolish life, and I am sincerely sorry fee it. 1 regret having received the 600/. ;it was the wont 6001 I ever received. I never invited any young man down is Cheltenham " to do plant." Mr lame—Read that note. Witurn—That note has been surreptitiously obtathed, and is brought up sgaiost me on all occasions. The ea pereaes you refer to is a joking message from an officer to Mr. Theobsld. Ido not wish to be the father of the joke. (The vitaee beer became sub affected, and shed tears.) 3s-examined by the Attorney-General—l came here to ginevideami, kaowiog I must surrender. I saw no oMcer. I had the poversation with Keened, at which the short load writer was preset on the 20th of April, 1863. I pissed a short-hand writer in a place where he salad take estee of the coanrsa•ion. Kennedy raid Newton had lailated Coyle to come forward and give evidence against soy seas mourn my brother and myself into the payment . 1 dm 7 . 3001 . His eigimnioli was, "Newton took him in hand and kept him up to the mark." He strongly advised me to pruseeste him, but be said that Coyle having ren dered him seseatial service as a witness, it would not de for him to tun resod and give evidence against his own wit tiest. He told me that the evidence riven by Coyle to Mr. humus before the trial was altered to as to include me in a guilty participation. He first stated he bad a oonverea lima with my brother at Cheltenham, at which I wee not paalliat, but that in consequence of his having irmaired a Crof 6001. in the event of his evidence segnieffiagese i a muds the charge I speak of. He further mid that alba badges's Mr. Coyle was 501. or 601., whisk he had pddl tells wife when he we is Nene'. I premed Ma r* to mmalpate me from the charge. sad to snit me la amaelatinsOwle.

Oa the 24th or 25th my brother told me the new was Nightly lame. On the 27th he said the mare woe a little better—that he thrught nothing of it—that be thought she would be gaits right in a few daya When I bad the eoe venal°. with Keamody at Hall, I bad not the most remote ilea that the mare could not run. Coyle owed me large same—he gave me an acceptance of 1,1501. of Lord Clines's. It was a forgery—he gave me a memorandum confessing it, and tee confession was used against him at the trial. Os the witness leaving the box, the officer informed him lee had a warrant for his arrest. Mr. Allayee—Vary well—allow ma to remain here. James Holder Minnie, 'Remained by Mr. Temple—l am the elder brother of the last witness. I was the owner of • slue in 1846. I made a bet with Captain Kennedy I. that = in My brother and I west to Cheltenham either in ror is November, I can't say which. I recollect his leerier Cheltenham for ath. At that time I owed Mr. Coyle 3751. He came down to Cheltenham, and I saw him wa the subject. I did not go to the Plough Hotel at all. I saw him at my lodging', 13, Rodsertereem. He called at my lodgings on the morning of the 30th November. I was goiag oat hunting. On that occasion 1 mare him the shwas fee 3751., dated the 30th of November. 1 don't think ha wee the room three minutes altogether. He said be was going to London that day to settle at Tattersail's. That was the °sly oonnreation I bad with him. My brother, M'Osachy, was not present during that interview. My brother bad gone to Bath &twine the 24 b sod the time my brother went to Bath I told him the trainer bad said the mare was a little amiss. I told him Mr. Briar had sun bee, and had said be thought she was aff-eted with a Lei oath- disease; but I and my Heiser did not think there was anything seriously to alarm me. I drove her to Glee eater on the 29th of November. The distance is eight or aims miles. Cron-examined by Mr. Hawkins—To the best of my belief the mare first showed symptoms of lemenees en the 23c4. I had driven her to Tewkesbury and beck. Towhee bury is eight or nine miles distant. M'Gsachy did not accompany me to Tewkesbury. Beek, my gro,ni and trainer, list told me the was lame on the morning of the 24th. Beek gave evidence on my trial. Mr. Briar was called in es the 24th, the moment I found anything was the matter with the mere. He examined her; and said be thought she had a slight attack of lavienlar disease. That is per • incurable. I cannot say where M'Cleachy was on that day. I can't swear he was not present when Briar said so; but I don't think be was. I presume I must have seen my brother ea the 24th, or the next day. He was in Chel tenham at the time. Most likely I told him the mare was lame wham first I saw him, for it was uppermost in my miad. I cannot remember that Mr. Briar attended the mare more than two days. I ean't say he did not, but I deal remember . I will swear he was not in attendance on that mare up to the 10th of December. He was wrong when he stated that at the trial. He attended another mare in another stable. The mare's leg was rubbed with an embrocation, the first day by Mr. Briar's advice, much ant the wish of my trainer. Her toot was poultieed by the advice of my trainer, and against Mr. Briar's. I cannot my bow nag the foot was poultieed. It was more than wee. Oa the 15th of January I left Chelten ham, and having no use for her I threw her by at Mr. Gutteridge's /Wiles. I will swear when 111114 she went to Mr. Gutteridge's there was no thing the setter. I saw M'Oeachy after his return from Hell. I think it was sot after his return, but I , .ng before, I wrote to Kr. Kennedy, requesting him to have his money reedy. I have the copy of the letter hire. The date is the 12th ofTherather. I wrote en answer to a letter I had re solved from Mr. Kennedy. Must likely I saw my brother before I wrote that letter of the 12th. 1 won't swear to it. It is wry possible M'Geeehy never rode behind the mare with me. He had sew her trot. Redid not see her when I drove to Tewkesbney. It was in the evening. I bought her in America, under the name of " Fanny Jenks." I be lien she wee known as a trotting mare in America. I don't know her name was ever changed to Pigeon. I milled her " Pim . ;" it was a pet ram. for her; other penis called her 'Fanny Jenas. ' Mr. Kennedy knew wry well she was the same mare. Before the first bet was made I talked of her to Mr. Kennedy as the Americus man. I spoke of her as " Fanny Jenks" Mr. Hawkins—Dtd you not say at the Old Bailey, "I did ate tell him anything about her before I mule the bet; I resat such a fool ?" Witness—That was th. wood bet. Them were two bete. Oa my oath, I told him that " Pigtail" was " Fanny Joel's," the Grit Mated American mare. I will not swear I did not my I intended to make use of bar as a Pigeon.

Keasody had said as and so he had, and Mr. Hawkins well kaew he h.d not. Ouch madam was most scandalous. Lord Campbell observed he felt bound to interfere. As Wag sib. had pre►ided over a court ofjostioe he had been struck with ttoi courtesy which one member of the bar winced towards another, sod be hoped that this rule, now that certain practices had aspired, would not be departed bow. 01itsitas—I believe I sever did my so, but I know Mr. Kennedy did. I met Mr. Iltssisdy on the pimp from Liverpool to Halifax. He was about three years younger than I am, and tea years older in the woos of the world. I won soma three or four hundred pound" from him in America. He left America before I did. I met him again genic to the Derby in 1846 He bad • mars named Castuiet.

Coyle promised to non ma at Mr. Steele s, his attorney. Oa Monday I met him there. We had a conversation. I asked nun bow he rime to mix himself up with Captain Kennedy, Mr. Newton, and his brother, Mr. Taylor. His said he never should have done so, but he was under weal. cry obiigatioss to Mr. Taylor, the brother of Mr Newton, Kennedy's solicitor, and that Kennedy and Newton, and Taylor, were almos t daily annoying him, or that he n should have gime to the Old Bailey to give evident* against the Allspice. I asked him what he expected to get from it. He said 5001. had bees put into Mr. Taylor's bands for him to receive part of the money that would be got from the Alleynes, bat he neves did get ; it was taken away from Mr. Taylor, with the undentanding that he should get another of the mme amount for it. Coyle said if he was to call et Mr. Newton's officio, he understood there was 1001. waiting for him, but he certainly would not accept it. His espressien was " I'll see them before I do so." Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—At this very time I am in the employment of Mr. Charles Lewis, No 1, Albany wart, Piccadilly. I serve writs, sad I get bills discounted by him.

Mr. Hawkins—Yea ; but I wouldn't trust you with one of mine, you know. (Laughter.) Coyle 's schedule in the Insolent Debtors Court was thee put in. It was dated August 14, 1854, and contained amongst the metrics th e following : Mr. Mark Taylor, gen tleman. Buckloghism-etrut, &read, 4,1601., admitted uto 6401., the consideration being money lent. This closed the cue for the prosecution. Mr Edwin Junes then addressed the jury in • power ful speech for the defeadant, bet did sot all any evident*. Lerd Campbell, is summing up, raid, if the jury gave credit to the evidence they had heard, it would be for them to say whether the charge was not completely established. No doubt, some of the avid's°, was of • suspicious charac ter ; other parts seemed to be free from suspielon; but, on the whole, they would have to determine is to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. He would first draw attention to the indictment against the two AUsynee and D'Arcy for a conspiracy in attemptiag, by man, of a bet, to obtain, the sum of 7,3001. from a Mr. Kennedy, an anther in the army, they knowing at the time that the mere had fallen lame and was incapable of running. The iadietment bed been tried in December, 1851, and a verdict of guilty was returned against those three defendants. The pre sent defendant was a witness ea that occasion. And it was on sesoust of the evidence he then gave that the present indictment for perjury was preferred ; and it was for the jury to say, upon the evidence they bed heard, whether the defendant Coyle bad upon the former ocess , on com mitted wiltal and unapt perjury. They were aware that the materiel charge was, that he stated on that trial in De cember, 1848, that he was present at a eoavereation at Chel tenham when the ahem was laid for defrauding Mr. Kennedy. It we. sow alleged against Coyle, that that statemeat was entirely false; that there wee, in fact, no such interview. His lordship then reed over the whole of the evidence, and stated that he thought they must look with considerable suspicion upon the evidence of Holder Alleyne, who had bees convicted of • conspiracy ; hut still be might be sow speaking the truth, and he was corrobo- rated by M'Gsecby AUeyne, and particularly by Mr. Calciti c/At, whe appeared to him to be • witness beyond suspicion, • respectable men, against whom there was ne imputation. If they could place: credit on Oil's, it wu a mos! important corroboration. but it was for them to say whether he could be satisfactorily relied upon. No doubt the Alleynse could rat swaps censure, but against Mr. Caldecott there was no imputation. The case was now before them. Was the charge against the defendant made out to their satisfaction If it was, they would find him guilty. If they had any reasonable doubt, the defendant wee entitled to the benefit of that doubt. fhecl;feadiat row to address the wart. Lord Campbell—Yon eannot now be heard. The jury then retired. The Attorney General hogged to may a word. Hb lord ship seemed to be under an impression that he had addressed himself hostilely to Mr. Hawkins. The truth wee he was giving his friend fait notice that if he persevered in a cer tain count, he should be obliged— Lord Campbell—l most say it seemed to me you had de parted from your usual courteous demeanour, which has been a worthy example to the bar. That the counsel on the other side were doing that which they knew was wrong I thought so then, end I think so now. The Attorney-General begged his lordship's pardon. He was saying that if his friends persevered in their present course he should be under the necessity of adopting a Lord Campbell—No, no. You said, both to Mr. James and Mr. Hawkins, that they were puvizig questions they knew to be wrong, which I thought very offensive. The Attorney General—lt had no reference to the question. Lord Campbell—You said they knew it. The Attorney-0,60W said—lndeed be did not. It was a totally different part the examination. Lord Campbell—l thought and think the observation did require my interference. The jury now returned, and gave a verdict of guilt . Lord Campbell—Let the defendant stand on the floor for sentence. I am ready to hear you now if you have anything to ay. The defendant stood forward, and said that the rail from Cheltenham to Beth had been open during the year is question, sad a person Gould go backwards and forwards in a few howl. _ Lord Campbell then proceeded to peas *esteems After a very long and patient trial you have been eenviirad by a jury of the crime of wilful and corrupt perjury; and I must say, although sane of the *riders, was very suspicions, that there wee 'Sees and trustworthy evidence upon which, I think, the jury were perfectly justified in cooling to that coasbution. It is a crime of the deepest hue, and vuo must sufer a severe punishment. You must be well aware of the enormity of your offence, sad it is unneoessary for me to sake say observations upon it. The sentence of the court is, that you be isprisooed for two years in the Hose of Correction for the county of Middlesex. The defendant was this removed in the custody of the tip•t h fr or the suet. The 11.sera Slleyne are still in custody under the sates* for roespir e o, to defraud Captain Kennedy, of which they were Soma guilty. Ni. ne wer is vested in Lord Campbell to revues she oratesoe ; fist w p understand an application, based en the verdict in the present Owe. will be made to the Mums Secretary for a free pardon for the AVeynes, on the =l that they had been 'satiated by the of Coyle. iztrpree BAIL COURT.-Fn. 3.

At the close of the ease, which repeated no particular Interest, the learned baron told the jury, that although the rule of law which made the man who bought an article take the chance of it might , press very harshly on the Messrs. Osborne, yet that rule had been in eliatenu a great number of years, and it war found that the great 'commercial in terests of the country had derived advantages from it. The jury returned 'verdict for the plaintiff—damages 304 ship. On the 23rd of January last when@ received a letter by poet, purporting to toes from his old Island Harris, as follows: " Beckenham, near Bromley, Heat, Jan. 22, 1865. ff Dear Sir,—Although many years have elapsed since I bad fine the honour of year aequalstasee, I am yet in hope" the very peculiar eirctunetanees under which I now most reluctantly address yea will slightly plead an apology for the intrados. It will probably he still in your recollection I bed the pleasure to sone with you when semis lieutenant of the nip Victor, I having been parser of that ship ; and it is with deep regret I hen to eine that I as placed in a situation of extreme difficulty and embarrassment. Some time ago, in an unguarded moment, I was Induced to be come Joint security for a friend who, soon after dyiog in sole's*, I was unexpectedly called upon to pay a sum of money such beyond my limited means to command. Law proosedings wen in wens instituted and ex penses qnickly incurred, t to get clear of the affair I was under the necessity of entering into an agreement to pay my portion of the liability and expensee—a part dome, and the nada' by quarterly Instalments. In earning out this arrangement, my own domestic pecuniary matters became in some measure neg lected, and my landlord, to whoa I am indebted, has placed a distress in my hose for arrears of rent. The former unfortunate business not only absorbed all my own slender rescues., but obliged me to draw largely on the kindstneof my friends for assistance to enable me to settle it in the manner described—leaving me in the present dilemma, without any available fund to meet this demand, so harshly enforced, and which, if act arranged in a very few days, the consequences to my family will be most dis tressing. In this emergency, presuming on old recoils tine, I venture to solicit your assistance with the loan of 61. for a few months, in which time I hope to surmount my difficalty, and be enabled to repay you. I enclose a copy of the distress alluded to, which I beg may be returned with your answer; and as it is most probable I shall be under the necessity of removing my ferrite from hese befere I can native your kind reply, pleas address me, ' Poet office, Beckenham, Kent,' waiting which I remain, dear air, your obliged old shipmate, Wm. ADAMS HAMM. " P.S. I beg to apologies for being compelled to get my nephew to write this letter, ea! am suffering from &severe attack of the rheumatic gout." Witness, on receiving this letter, remarked to Mrs. Haines that although there were two or three eentenese in it that did not look much like a shipmate's style of writing, yet his dear, good-aatiered, old reload Harris was just the sort of man to get into a scrape of this kind ; and therefore he had no doubt it was a genuine letter, and at once des patched a reply in which he expressed his sympathy with his in his present misfortune, reminded him of his having been always too careless in money matters. and finally gave him an order upon his agents, Mears. Stillwell, for the pay ment of the 51 requited. He returned the distress warrant, as requested, in the same letter, which be directed according to the instructions given in hie friend's supposed communi cation. Witness had no idea how his former connexion with Mr. Harris became kaows to the prisoner, although the Non List, of course, would show it. Mr. Henry—lt Is very cleverly done, no doubt. Capt. Wood, of the Mendicity So ciety, said it was an "old dodge," and he held in hie hand at least a hundred similar letters, couched almost in the same words, and ad dressed from se shipmate to another, the information being always procured from the Navy Lie. Mr. Stillwell, navy agent, of Arnodel-stnet, Strand, and one of his clerks, proved that on the 27th of January the prisoner called at the office and produced the letter of Capt. Haines, addressed to Mr. Harris, end also a short note par porting to be written by the latter gentleman, and autho rising Messrs. Stillwell to pay the sum mentioned to the bearer (the prisoner). The prisoner was required to sign a receipt for the money, which he showed greet reluctance in doing, stating that be did not know if he was doing right. Hie enlisters greatly resembled the pretended letter from Mr. Harris, and Mr. Stillwell having a suspicion that there was some band in the transactions, sent for a policeman. He then paid the prisoner five sovereigns, and gave him into the custody of police-constable E 144, from whom he after. wards tried to escape, by netting away. Mr. W. Adams Harth, of Howard-terrace, Stoke New ington, formerly the pans of the ship Victor, was called to prove that the lettere written in his name were forgeries, and the whole story of his " misfortune" absurdly fain. The prisoner —I admit that I wrote the letter. Police constable M 9 stated that the prisoner was in the same division at the time of this occurrence, his number being 100 He know the prisoner's handwriting, and could say that the letters produced were written by him. Superistendent Haynes stated that the prisoner was ad mitted into the C division of the police force in January, 1863. Subsequently he was transferred to the L division at his own request, from which he wee required to resign in April, 18.54. In November last, however, be was admitted into the hl division. He had no authority to go oat in plaia clothes, and had done so contrary to orders. Captain-Wood mid if it was material he could produce other letters written by the prisoner to the officers of other shim. He had one in his band, addressed to the lieutenant of the Inconstant in the same way. He coulu also prove that the prisoner bad been the constant asociate of im postors, but always in private clothes. The prisoner, in his deftness, said—ln the month of September last I was anise in a public-house in St. Mar tin's-lane, when a man came and sat by my side, and said my writing was so much like his clerk's, who was ill, that he should like me to copy letters for him at Is. Bd. a piece. I consented, and wrote about twenty, the names of the offi cers and shire being different in each letter, as supplied by him. The letter I copied them from was dated 18.51. Bring in the police, I told him I should not do any more for him. but he said I must, as he could very soon get me out of the police, if I refused. He said I must do him nine more, and I did. *r. Henry—Then the letters were all the same, except as to the names of the ships and the officer.. Well, go e,n. The prisoner —Where did I leave off? The prisoner, on being informed, proceeded to finish his statement, which was to the effect that he had continued to work for the same person, meeting him at times in the Old Bent-road, where he waited for the Beckenham carrier. He (poisoner) at first refused to go and get the 61. for this man, but ultimately consented, on the understanding that it noted be the last transaction between them. The man went by the name of Stokes, and lived at Greenwich, but he could not find him. The primmer, who said be wu 27 year of age, wu then committed for trial at the nest Old Bailey sessions. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Panelllsam, a private in the 3rd troop of Life 'Guards, wee charged with assault and wilful damage. Yensef Ben Ibrahim, keeper of a cigar divan in the Hay market, said on Friday morning, about two o'clock, defen dant and two women came in drunk. He refused to serve t►em, and is attempting to put defendant out the prisoner wilfully broke china cups, saves, squares of gram, &0., valued at 21. 45., and also a large pier glue worth 681. The defendant was ordered to pay the damage of vises, cups, &c., and was fined 500. for the assault, which be paid, and complainant was referred to the County Court for pay ment of the looking glass. MESSENGER IN BANKRUPTCY SUSPENDED.-R long investigation into the c o nduct of Mr. Harding, a mes 'eager of the Manchester District Court of Bankruptcy, was brought to a oonclusion, before Mr. Commissioner Jemmett, on Thursday evening. The charges against bias were chiefly made by the leading solicitors practising in the court, and embraced fraud, drunkenness, and pecuniary difficulties, which made it unsafe to place in his hands the funds which necessarily fell to his keeping. The commissioner was of opinion that the charge of fraud was not made out, and as the charges of drunkenness included drunkenness in court, he expressed his surprise that this had not been pointed out to him at the time, when it must have led to the messenger's instant dismissal. Hs could not peas over the strong feeling of the profession against him, however, which led them to say they could not safely entrust the warrants of that nourt in his possession, and he therefore suspended 'Rim from office ter twelve months, at the end of which, with proper guarantees for future conduct, he might apply for re.instal meat is his °Mee. THE AMERICAN Msn.B.—The British nod North American Royal Mall Steam-ship Asia, Captain 8.0. Lou, sailed from the Mersey, on Saturday forenoon, for Boston and Halifax, with the usual mails for the United States and Canada, 100 passengers and a full cargo of merchandise on freight. The Baltic ( United States mail steamer), Captain Comstock, with advises Irom New York to the 24th ult., is expected to strive at Liverpool this (Monday) morning. GALLANT ATTEMPT TO RESCUE • SHIPWRECKED Cnnw.—Yatutoorm, Faa. 2.—On Tuesday last, a brig was observed to strike on the Barber Sand, off the Norfolk coast. The Seratby and Caistor life-boats were immediately launched, and manned by a hardy crew of 18 men each, to go off to the assistance of the crew, bat before they eculd reach the vessel, she had turned down as her broadside, with her masts in the water. At this time, three of her crew were seen in the main rigging, and-one in the fore rigging. After much difficulty and risk, the life-boats, which were now amongst the dihris of the ship, succeeded in rescuing one man from each mast, but unfortunately the remaining seven of the crew perished before succour could be afforded them. A poor bey was seen in the rigging crying for help, and the gallant men did all they possibly could to save him, but he was too much exhausted to take hold of the rope that was thrown over him two or three times, and thin met with a watery grave. The vessel broke up so soon, and the boats' service was executed so quickly, that not an hour and a hell elapsed before the boats were on shore again with the relined men. Several Jemmies of humanity on the part of the boatmen occurred on the oft* sion. Some of them stripped themselves of their own clothes to put on the sufferers. The &rattly life boat was provided by the seamen themselves, and the Royal National Life Boat Institution has supplied It with a warp for haul ine off, which was successfully need on this occasion. The institution has also, as was stated In the Doily New of Friday last, granted the men • liberal reward for their services in this instance. The vessel proved to be the I Stranger, of Shields, bound to London with coals.

COTTON GOODS. Manninonot, Fun. 3.—Ons market tontines inactive and depressed. There are no indications of revival of de. mend from the great capon markets of India, China, Aus tralia, and the United States ? whilst tram the extent to which the large production stall going on here disappears, there is reason to fear that heavy consignments us making to some of these quarters under adenines only on the pre sent unremunerative rates still farther to glut and depress them. The only foreign market at present continuing to exhibit much life ill that of the Levant, for which the Greeks buy with tome activity, and their coatreets for low numbers of water twist extend into March. Yarns show more steadiness of price than cloths, but spinners coMplain of mush difficulty in finding customers. The following extract from the monthly circular of Messrs. Do Fay and Co. shows the relative position se to price of cloths at the present time, as compared with the rates prevailing a month ago The state of the goods market will be perceived from the following remarks:—While no transactions of any import ance have taken place during the past mouth in manatee- Wed goods, 9-8 ihirtings in the lower makes are much the same in price as last month; 66 and 72 reeds are lid. per piece lower, but stocks are by no means excessive. 5.4 shirting', from 6 to 8 lbs. weight, are not in demand, but prices are not much lower; some few makes can be had at lid. to 3d. per piece lower than last month. 9.8 Madapol lams, though not abundant, are rather lower, and a entailer to other goods is fast taking plan in them. In 7-8 printers no change of importance has taken place, and some few makes of the lower qualities keep in good request, even at a alight advance upon former prices. 9-8 printers in the better qualities, say 66 and 72 reeds, are dull of sale, and lid. per piece lower, while much irregularity prevails in tae lower description of 9 8 printer,. Domestics remain in good demand, and prices are firmly maintained. T cloths and loon cloths for the Levant keep in request, but there exists an apprehension that the supply will ere long exceed the demand, se many manufacturers have turned to the production of these goods. Jacconets and cambric' are not much inquired after, and have receded lid. per piece. Velveteens are in good demand, with an upward tendency." Notwithstanding the strikes and turn-outs of the past year it appears that a larger consumption of cotton has taken place in Great Britain than at any previous period, the quantity in 1836 being 350,000,000 of lbs. weight; in 1846, 597,000,000; in 1852, 7445,000,000; in 1863, 734,000,000; and in 1854, 780,000,000. The increase upon last year's deliveries to the trade of Great Britain, Messrs. Da Fay and Co. observe, is 6 2-sths per cent.; to Russia, Germany, Holland, and Belgium, an increase of Si per cent.; to France of 31 per cent; to Spain of 2 per cant ; and a decrease to the trade of the United States of America of 8 per cent. The increase of con sumption in this country, in the face of strikes and had trade, is amounted for by the tact that manufacturers have been much more generallyengsged on heavy fabrics —fabrics in which more raw niatirial and less labour are employed. Bo important is the difference in this respect, that whilst 840 spindles will require upwards of 1,2601b5. of rotten weekly to produce No. 20 mule twist, for heavy cloths, the same number of spindles will require not more than 2241 be. of cotton to produce No. 60's mule yarn for lighter clothe. Letters from the United States speak more confidently of a more active trade in the ensuing season ; the preparations making here for that trade, however, are not considerabie. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lnnue, File. 3.—There has been a little improvement in the market to-day. There was a better attendance of merchants at the cloth halls, and a slight increase in the quantity of cloth that changed otunem. The mills in the surrounding district are beginning to Mgt short time, the manufacturers are operating carefully. sad employment is b.coming rather scarce. The trade in the warehouse has been very quiet during the current week. HARDWARE.—SIIMINGIII.II, Fee. 3.—Trade here still continues very much depressed ; the partial improve ment in the demand for o•r manufactures for the home market, which we noticed • week since, has not been main tained, and many of the menufecturen are very badly off for orders, as is evidenced by the eager manner in which the merchants are besought to give out any which they may have in hand. There are still none from the• United Stotes, and from Canada the advices continua to he unfavourable. The depression is general, the exceptional eases being but few, and there is • general aoneurreace of opinion that trade is in • worse state here just now than it hae been for several years. The iron trade matinues in a languid state, with prices at a very wide nage. CORN.— CAMBRIDGE, FIB. $ —Oar market was cheaper for wheat, with little or no variation in the price of other grain. Wriest, 624. to 68s. Barley, 28s. to 365. Beane, 40.. to 44e. Peas, 40s. to 445. Oats, 221. to 30.. CANTIMAIJET, FIB. 3.—We had a largo supply ; a dull sale and pnees firm.

Cant.tams, Fan 3.—We had a very large supply of wheat at our market this morning. Good lots were sold readily at a decline of about 6d per Carlisle bushel on the rates obtained last week, whilst for inferior white and red lower rates had to be submitted to. Barley a large supply and a slow sale, at about 6d. reduction. Oats an average supply and a ready sale. Wheat, white, new, 28s. to 30s. ; red, new, 251. 6d.to 274 Barley, old and new, 12a. to 13s.

Barley a fair supply, and best qualities remaia unaltered ; secondaty sorts Is. per quarter lower. Beans and peas the •ante as on this day se'onight. GLoucESTEIt, FIB. 3.—English wheat to-day was held very tirmly by farmers, but greet indisposition existed on the part of millers to pay last week's rate e, and in some in- Planets Is. to 24 lets money was taken. Foreign very 6rm, but little doing. There was no change in barley, beano, or Indian corn. To make progress in oats le. less money must have been accepted. Imports for the week ending Feb. 8: Wheat, 832; oats, 2,664; beans, 743. OVILDPORD, FEII:3 —There Was only a moderate arrival of wheat, which waa sufficient for the demand. Prices were ls. to 2s. lower. The weather causes great stagna tion in the trade for beans and peas. Wheat, 68s. to 82s. ; Talavera, 84s. Barley, 304. to 365. Oct., 265. to 31s. NIIFICASTLX•IIPON-TTNI, FEB 3.—The weather coati 's's-a severe and very seasonable. There is a good deal of floating it. I. the river, but not sufficient to interfere with the communication with Shields. The trade in the early part of the week, under the influence of discouraging ad• vices from Mark-lane, assumed great dullness, and great reluctance was manifested by our millers to operate, the sudden fluctuations which have recently occurred having tended to shake confidence. Notwithstanding, however, the great decline that was submitted to in Mark lane on Monday, holders here woul not make a greater concession in wheat than 21. per qr., so that only a limited business transpired With a continuance of wintry weather, the general impression seems to be in favour of the recent heavy reductioa being recovered, hence the indisposition on the part of factors to sell. Our stocks of wheat and flour were never less, and although the supplies of the former article from the growers continue large, the demand hi therto has been sufficiently ample to take off everything that has come to hand. Flour and other articles being ge nerally held beyond the views of oar consumers, business in consequence has been much restricted. At oar market title morning we had a large delivery of wheat from the growers, and saute country qualities being most-4 withdrawn, whilst at the some time foreign was less press ingly offered, fresh-thrashed samples were taken off with freedom at the extreme rates of thin day se'noight, whereas a fair business was done in foreign at about previous rates. Flour met more attention, and we repeat the quotation of last week for all quiditiee. Rye remains unaltered. Malting barley is sow request and rather lower, and the same remarks will apply to grinding descriptions. In beans little stirring. Boiling peas. owing to the severity of the weather, held with more firmoess. With oats we were largely supplied by oar growers, and the arrivals from Scot land of late being considerable, sales could only pe effected by submitting to a decline of 6d to Is. per qr., 295. being now a very extreme value for choice Scotch weighing 42Ibs. per bushel, whereas for 411bs. 281 could not be exceeded. The arrivals this week are:—Wheat, coastwise, 1,313 qrs. ; foreign, 460; rye, coastwise, 75; berley, coastwise, 561; oats, coastwise, 403; foreign, 400; peas, coastwise, 70; foreign, 16; flour, 664 sacks. _ _ Noawicit, FEB. 3.—Our market t day was abundantly supplied with wheat. The late politic►l changes, coupled with rumours of peace, caused millers to act with extreme caution, and the amount of business transacted was not large. Prices ex 'ding lut week were demanded, but not complied with ; ultimately last weok's rates wore submitted to. Flour was in slow request at similar prices to last week. Barley trade remains as before, prime maltieg qualities moved off freely at full price., while secondary and inferior sorts were difficult to quit. Beans small sup ply, and not much.businesa done; no change in value. Peas very scarce, and but little inquiry ; no alteration in pries. Oats were plentiful, and rather lower rates were accepted. We do not alter our quotations in any article. Pirrnanononoa, FMB 3.—We continue to get large supplies of grain The wheat trade ruled dull, and tut week's prices (towards the close of the market) were scarcely obtainable. Barley and beans each Is. per quarter lower. Oats unaltered in value. RZADINO, Fan. 2.—The unfavourable weather, the deep snow, and slippery roads, have caused us to have • very short supply of eorn of every description; little basins, is therefore doing, on much the same terms as last week. Wieners Fan. 3.—The supply of all kinds of grain continua g ood. The wheat trade hes recovered its former tole, and at le. per qr. less than lest week's prime • good detal! bulimia was done. Other grain as before, with scarcely so much life. Wheat, old, 645. to 74e. p er qr . ; new, 63e. to 765. Osts, le. lid. to le. 2d. per stone. Beans, 445. to 465.

YORIL, Fns 3.-There was a large supply of both wheat and barley at our market to-day, wt.ieti met a tolerably steady sale at abo u t th e pr i ces of .1 rid week. O a t s in limi t request at rather lower rates. Beans and other articles al before. Wheat, white, 76e. to 784. per impend qr ; ma. 70s. to 71s ; barky, malting, 310. to 33e ; gri n di ng, 30, i',;; 315.; malt, 72e. to 745.; elm, 13d. to 14d, per stoas ot 141bs. ; dour, 64e. to 66e. per sack of 280Ibs. KI&CALDT, FRB. 3.-During the past week we have had continued frost, with occasional scow showers. This more. lag there is a slight thaw, but, as the wind prevaile from the N.E., we mPy soon have a return of frost. At e u country markets ' this week, less money was offering for all kinds of grain, but fanners not being disposed to yield to the reduction, a very limited business was transacted, at a alight decline on the prices of last week. Here, to-day, u s bad liberal supplies o f a ll ki n d s o f gra i n. The demand WM good, and the whole cleared off at a reduction of 2e.ker qr. on wheat, and 6d. to Is. per qr. on barley and oats. Wheat, 60s. to 745. per qr. Barley, 30s. to 365. Oats, 23a, to 30,. Donuts, FIB. 2 -There was an increased supply of all kinds of grain in to-day, and the market was extremely depressed. We note wheat Is. to Is. 6d,, an d descriptions of barley except the finest malting 6d. to le. and oats 3d. to 6d. lower than on Tuesday, ass e m , at those reduced rates business could not be done to any extent. WATTS/70HD, Faa. 3.-Our supplies of farmers' grain bare been toe fair extent since this day ee'anight, but the arrivals, both from abroad and coastwise, show only a trifling increase over those of the precedialt week. Inas eneed by the reaction in the English markets, we have had a very inanimate trade in all articles, at priers generally is shyto-day's buyers and before any progress could be made in sales of wheat, farmers were obliged to submit to a reduction of 6d. to Is. per brl. on the prices of Saturday last. Barley met but little attention, tbougo offered at • decline of 6d. per bl Oats were hardly enquired for, and holders who would have given way 3d. to 6d. per barrel in order t make sales, wore compelled to withdraw their samples. In foreign wheat we did not hear of a single transaction, but a fair quastiiy of Indian corn was taken for immediate use, at a decline of to 6d. per barrel. Flour in slow demand, without dings in price. Imports this week: Wheat, 60 qr.. ; / ac h y , corn, 4,242. Exports: Wheat, 782 barrels; oats, 10,641; flour, 2,636 sacks ; oatmeal, 10 cern.

Thomas Mott was charged with having attempted I. steal a coat from the door of a large clothier's establishment in Aidgate. The case excited some merriment. Mr. Taylor, foreman to the firm, said—The prisoaer, who is constantly in the habit of stealing coats from our concern, tried to pull away one, which was hanging at the door; but I bad been on the watch for him for some time, and I stepped round and captured him. He had a pal, who was watching at the other side of the door, and be eat away. The Lord Mayor—You say be has been in the habit of stealing oats at your establishment.
