The defesdants were charged with frauduleatly melbas pleelde esaliat i tr r lretsed with the owns and trade mark of MIPISM. Ho s firm, without the same halving been manufactured there. Mr. ilanisty, tte., and Mr. H. Mills appeared for the phiutiffs ; Mr. Hairline, and Mr. Mitered for the defendants. It would s r that formerly the plaintiffs carried on an ateaaive trade with East Belford and the surround* seighbourhood, the demand ter their unpleiests teeing very coomilerable is the locality. A pewee of the same of Curtis ailed as their swat at East netford, sod wlreserwer as order come to thou , from thence their mete= wee r anise they led a per wad acqmiztaners with the semise. to Mae the Watts to Curtis. However, at last their halms at Nast Bedard falling off very much, they wee had late ieveritiabig the muse, mid were induced to the ewashusits that their eest iags were being fraudulently aradietered rd sperietwly tstreduceil into the market. With • view to discovering the truth their traveller, in the sell of Jane last, elated the defendant's foundry, and sawd ter a wheel, a breast, and a slips of a ploo4l woad* is the pie/IMM sake. These was all auppleed to blamed to at the some time sew arigther slip* of a plough with the plaintiffs name and mark upon it_, and not only were the outisp which the traveller purchased all impound with the name soil mark of the plaintiff., but Sameel Ledger, the other de fondant's son, told him that they were Bedford metal. The plaintiffs did not press for damages ; all that they wanted wee to vindicate their rights which had been outrageously abused. The defeoce we, that althoegb loose few cutups of the plaiotiffs had been mannfactured. yet that bad been done without any fraudulent intent. T u reen who had been supplied with the plaintiffs' ploughs eaM tothe defendants, or were sent to them by Curtis, vise was the agent of the plaintiffs, and required to have itaanfactured for them fresh castings to make up for parts width had been broken, or which were wore out. The broken parts were always heeded to them, and they mewl Ma pert' to repair the injury or deficiency. In that way the same and trade mark of the plaintiffs' firm cam lobs imprinted on the defead ants manufacturing ; and as they mere always in the habit of cc casting each part in duplicate, teat one might not fit or be injured, it happened that they were able to supply the defendants' firm with the parte he regaired on the coossion al hia visit. In this manner they bad re-cart a splide foe a man named Emadale, and they had made some bromine fee Curtis. But then Curtis was the agent of the plaintiffs, ad if any one should hare been proceeded against it was °arta. 6171Lortl Chief Justice Wing summed up the evident*, The jury found for the plaintiffs on all points= that the defendant.had frandulentlyintitated the outions, and that they had manufactured for Curtis, knowing that the latter intended to introduce such castinp into the ambit as Howard's. Damages 40•. Hu Lonlibtp certified fora special jury. (Before a Commas Jam) The pUintiff in this action, Elizabeth Greenwood, resid ing in Minleyeireek Plinliouwhobelosup to that class whose position is described as etpuvocid, sued Joseph Creech, a licensed victualler, and landlord of the Blue Craw public louse, Wardourstreek Soho, for an assault, and for injuries done to the plaintiffs clothes. Mr. lluilirton, Q.C., and Mr. Griffis appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. rearm for the defendant. It would seem that on the night of the 10th of Sep tember, wirucwhere between 10 and 11 o'clock, the plain tiff, accompanied by • female acquaintance of the same class as 'uereelf, entered Biota's public-house to Jermyn. street, for the purpose of meeting there a man named Pacey, with whom she was on intimate terms, and from whoni,Tacconling to her statement, she had received • letter from Portsmouth, telling her so to meet him. On enterinas g, the plaintiff inquired at the bar for racey„ and she p * w tobl Le was there. Whilst wan for him she called for a glue of porter, and being over it the dates slant, who bad been upetairs ' over an benscraie meeting, and was somewhat the worse or drink, descended to the bar, and Immediately accosting the plaintiff asked her whet she was prepared to *tend. The plaintiff declined to stand anythin, saying she knew not who the defendaat was. The defendant, however, reiterated his deemed, and the plaintiff still refusing all compliant*, Creech Snit seized the plaintiff's companion and forcibly ousted her from tae premien, and then • the plaintiff be teeth the breast he caused all porter is the glass to spill over the plaintiff's velvet matte sad silk dress, and then, with great Aimee, elected her into the street. The mantle, which bed sod the plaintiff 5 guineas, was completely spoiled, and bad been since nut up . for trimmings; the dress, which Irma*. wise irreparably injured, had been given away. After the occurrence the plaintiff went in search of a policetena, bet when she returned with one to Bignelle the defendant bad departed. A written demand for compensation was thee addressed to the defendant, but he turned a deaf ear to the claim Oae of the barmaids at Divas haring been called, tee. tified that the defendant had first accosted the plaintiff and iu the way described, and she likewise saw him OM her from the howls The neat witness, William, the potman, proved that the ddendant had taken a pod deal, yet he was quite sober enough to go through all the details of his bill, which amounted to between 3s. and 4e. He distinctly saw the de. fetidant ejecting the other female from the bar, and be beard the pLainuff screech when she was seized bessailt the Mast. He also sew her pot into the street. All the porter in the ALUM had been emptied out on the plaimUffe ohdbes, and undoubtedly they ware greatly damaged. He found her outside the door cry*, and he hat her his pocket handkerchief to wipe her clothes. The defence was that Creech had been spending the day at the mist rad of the town on haelsam, and that intim even. iez on his way home be had repaired drat tea public house in the Haymarket, and thee to Barbell's with a friend, a tesisslar h. Wardourotrest There was no doubt he bad been docking a great deal. When leaving Bissell's be ma accosted at the bat by the plaintiff, who a s ked tire was be mot going to stead a gime of port wine, which be refused each. the then attempted to handle him in not a very &Beate manner, and in wording off her approaches his hand eine* her breast. The plaintiff then screamed out. The allfesdaut, however, euuiely denied having ejected either al the women from the house, and as to the spilling of the peter no the plaintiff's clothes that occurred in the attempt of the defentlaut to avoid the advances of the plaintiff. At any rate, the isjariee both to the plaintiff in her person sad her clothes hail been greatly exaggerated, otherwise why bad not the cl o thes been produced in court! The impeobandity of a man 10 the position of th edefeedant, and who bad been already imeschug several shillings io drink in the comer of the evening, dermading of the plaintiff to ststil smoothie V., strongly urged upon the jury. His friend the tea.&:ler was out forthcoming, but that was because so nee could smarten' where he was. He had Dm:owe baakrupt, sail was mapposed to he out of London.

He admitted that the money came to his hands, and said that his reasons for doing r be bad done were. err, because be should have to pay extra money for the following week, and he required to have money in hand to do so. It would, however, have been just as mach money in hie bands whether he put it down in the Look or not, mid it would just as much have been money available for the purposes of the office.

(Continued from yisiatey's Expresa) Mr. William Goodall Gibson. ,11111311. at Gadabout& was Una examined by _ Mr. Kanassice. In Weber, 1555, he wu considerably in debt to Lauream sa d Mortimore. In 1856 the debt increased 20,0001. or 30,0001. They charged interest suart el as• mission at a later date ; not at that time. Mr. Laurance had pointed out to him the inconvenience of has* " croesW paper in the tmulet, sad en tered into an arrangement to supply cash. H. furnished money from time to time as it was wanted. At the end of 1856 be was indebted to Laurence and Co. 50,0001., and to other creditors 34,0001. He consigned the principal produce of his tan-yard to Mears. Streat/edd. They remitted to him proceeds on that account. He bad swistance from the house when he required it to meet his Mi. Kanlake—As they were " good-natured," you fre quently applied to them?

He almost invariably mat them a note, stating the amount he had to pey during the month, and requesting a remittance. • 11 ndsoce was read between this witness and Laureece, which was published at the time Gibson applied for his certificate, shout two months ago.) Winsome admitted that he hail realised his stock to the amount of 70,0601. Laurence and Mortimer* were aware that be would be a heavy loser by the depreciation in stork. He discovered his lose in the course of 1860 i. It was his regular practice to draw against goods consigned, with the excep tion of Streatfeild and Co. That was the only house that was kind enough to provide him with cash to take up his acceptances. He had had renewals from other houses, but it was an exception not a " rule." Before the loss was sacertained on the stock he had farmed a probable estimate. It may have been 45,000/. or 50,000 f. He may have com municated to Mr. Laurence it would be 130,000 i. The house of Streatfaild and Co. mod have known if be was not provided with money be was to stop. Mr. Laurence advised him to confine his business within a narrow company. He war to go on, and Mr. Laurence Mato find the money. He reduced the business by baying fewer goods. Mr. Mortiroorebad expressed him. self strongly on the reduction of the amounts. Both part ners wished him to reduce his business, and Mr. Mortimore said the account would never be reduced until witness stopped payment. Mr. Mortiniore almost immediately left the room. He was rather hasty and indiscreet. (Laughter.) But for the assistance he received, he must have stopped parrovet during the panic in the year 1657. He had re. ceived bills of Schrader. He had generally verbal communi. cations with Mr. Laurence. When he saw Laurence he would ask where the last bills of Schrader bad been placed. The isgavy would be simmered by the clerk. He wait to the pace indicated by Mr. Laurence, and got the Lill dim , couated, sad the commission the same se if it lied been for cash. He had drawn upon Mr. Herbert Smith about In months since by direction of Mr. Laurence, generally for odd sums. He supposed they looked more I Idle troop hills. It was done by direction of Mr. Laurence. There wee two bills from Glasgow, but they were not pissed with Messrs. Mellersh. They were his bankers at ( bonietinmes *ay would discount his bills, and at otbin would not.

He heard it was agreed the creditors should receive 15s. in the pound, and the small creditors would receive 20s. in the pound. It was the arrangement to pay 20s. in the pound to the smaller creditors by the principal creditors, sad they wished the failure should not be generally known. That was the reason the account was opened in the name of Smith and Co. They were not going to supply goods with out a guarantee, and that was the reason they opened a distinct account. The hide buyer sent a parcel of goods by' I mistake. The ass was then adjourned to the 19th of this month, with the understanding that it would be proceeded with on the following day.

Al.frM Cullen, a respeslohliviooldng young man, eurres• dared to take his trial upon the charge of uttering a certain forged paper with intent to defiancL in a second count he wee charged with the like act, with intent to deceive and injure Captain Buxton, the chief constable of the Kent constabulary. Yr. F. Russell conducted the prosecution. The defendant had no counsel. . ThecirJunsiances under which this charge was pre. (erred were somewhat peculiar. It appeared that the de feadant waa desirous to obtaia an appotetment in the wa=cad he applied to the superintendent of the &Met to !sew what steps were necessary to be talon to wiry out his object. Be was informed that it would be required that be should in the lint instance pro. dues a eirdlicate of good character signed by respectable M6itand also the signature of his last employer, and ia application could not be submitted to Captain Buxton until this bad been done. The defendant shortly produced a certificate of the nature referred to, I= I IZ the itale of several respectable parties, sad drafts& the defendant as a man of good character, sal op a l: so appointment in the police. Among those was that of Mr. John Salter, a tradesman living Gravemead, and it turned out that this was cot • genuine aipature. It a pp eared, however, that the pri soner naft was • man of good character, aid Yr. Baiter, who was asWd to prove that the signature to the certifi cate was not genuine, stated at the name time that if the prisoner had applied to him to sign such a document be should readily have done so. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he was not aware that he had done any harm in putting Mr. Salter's MAIO to the eertilleste. He wee sure he would have signed It for hies If be had sated him. . _ . It. diodes Bytes, in summing up, explained the law with raped to the offence of forgery at common law, and said Muth generally speaking, it was necessary to show that the nit wee committed with an intention to defraud. In the preeent case there appeared certainly to be no such in tention, and he thought the jury woo f do well to direct their attention to the count in the indictment which charged an intention to injure and deceive the chief constable, The jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The learned judge maid that this was probably the right verdict under the circumstances, but, at the some time, it should be known that any one who placed the name of an other to a document without his consent, under any circum stances, put himself in a position of great peril. THE POLICE COURTS• MANSION HOUSE. idasin Bremer, a smart-looking young man, was yester day brought before Mr. Alderman Hale ' in custody of Smart, the detective officer, charged with obtaining goods by false pretences from a number of mercantile firma in the City. It appeared, as fares the CM* was gone into, that the prisoner had formerly been in the service of Messrs. Turner and Bolder*, drapery, Limon-grove, but had been dismissed, and it seemed that he afterwards went to different houses with whom Ms former employers were in the habit of doing burins'', and obtained goods under the pretence that they were required by them. The only charge that wee for mally taken was one preferred by Messrs Calticoott and Co., of Cheamide, from whom the prisoner obtained eighty yards of alpaca, value 31., which be pawned imme diat afterwards. The ly prisoner was remanded. Nary Anne Rust and INizabetA Sultiran, two girls stated to be only ten yeas of age, were charged with the following robbery. It appeared that a little boy named Jones , who is about the same age as the prisoners, was engaged t the back of the Royal &chugs in selling newspapers, with a bag of halfpence the produce of his employment hanging round his neck, when the two prisoner, went up to him and forcibly took the bag and money from him and ran away. He began to cry, and a police-constable came up, and went after the prisoners and took them into custody, and as they were going to the poliosetatiori he beard something drop, which turned out to be the bag of mosey. The prisoner Sul livan then said that she would tell the whole truth, and went on to say that they saw the boy near the Exchange, and Rush said he had got some money, and proposed to her that they should " mike "(a flash term for stealing) it • and they went up to the boy and Ruda matched the bai from hie neck, and when she found they were going to be taken she slipped the bag into her hand, and she dropped it. Shaw, one of the police constables of the city, informed the alderman that the prisoner", although so young, were both very bad characters, and Rush hail already been placed in a ref amy school, but she made her escape, and her conduct was soled that they would not receive her. Alderman Hale remanded the prisoners, in order to afford an opportunity for considering what was best to be done with them. MARLBOROITGIT-STREET. Mr. Albert Wetteeki, the German merchant, of 10, St. Mary Axe, oharrd ,wi,h stealing a gold brooch from the person of Josephine 'idea, of Northumberland-court, i Strand, was again examined on the charge, Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, appeared for the defence. From the report previously g iven, it will be recollected ' that Mr. Wodecki. with another retinae*, was in the Cliff Regeoce, where, also. the prreecutrix and a "lady friend" were having coffee. It was alleged iu support of this im probable charge, that insulting language was brat made use of by the defendant to the woman, who, after removing to another earner, without e ff ect , left the house altogether, but was overt aken by the defendant, who seized her by her braceleted am, with cue hood, and by her shawl, or the part of it secured by her brooch, with the other, the shawl taumg off, and the breech instantly disappearing. 1141140.

I won't my how I get my living. I was once an actress at the Princess's Theatre. On the night in question I went out with my "lady friend" here to that theatre, but we didn't go in. Then we took a little walk in Bond street, and went to the Cafe Regenee. I was there about an hour. It was three o'clock when I left. It was half-past twelve when we went in. Barmaids were there, and there were prostitute. lam there two or three nights a week perhaps. 1 don't follow foreign gentlemen. Mr. Lewis—Yen like English better, I dare say. (Laughter among the audience.) Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do the English pay better (Renewed laughter.) After some farther evidence, A gentlemen named Lowe, spoke of the defendant as • highly respedable merchant, known to him a considerable time, and a um of property. Mr. Tyrwhitt, stopping the cue, observed that it was not worth while calling more witnernes to character. He had remanded it to enable a full investigation to be made. The Marge, brought about with much ingenuity on the wo man's part, was in his opinion an entirely trumped up one—hie conduct throughout was inconsistent with guilt— it totally failed in evidence, and he should at once dismiss the case and discharge the accused. A pretty-looking little girl, named Matilda Gerrard, about 10 years of age, was charged with stealing 21. in gold. two brooches and • ring, the property of her aunt, an elderly lady named Maria Silver, residing at N 0.12, Oxf ord piano, New-road, Hammersmith. The complainant stated that the prisoner was her niece and lived with her in the same house. About a quarter to two o'clock on Thursday week she suddenly left home, and witness had not seen her since until she was brought to the court. After she had left she missed the money from a pocket-book and the ring and brooches from her room. Mr. Dayman—Why do you accuse the prisoner of the robbery! The complainant—Because there was no other person in the house except myself and enter. A police inspector said the prisoner absconded from her annt's and was taken into custody at Canterbury with the property upon her. Mr. Daynan—Are her parents living? The complainant —She only has a father, her mother being dead. Mr. Dayman—Where does be live? The complainant—ln South-street, Hammersmith. She ha been with us nearly four years. We took her out of =non, because her father had not the means of sup her.rirTheyman—How has she behaved before ° The complainant—l am sorry to say this is not the first time she has traosgreseed. Sprat, inspector at police in the city of Canterbury, sad that eleven o 'clock on the night of Thursday last the little girl was brought to the nation, having been found wandering alone in the streets. She was taken care of for the night, and the next morning she was searched, and they found the two brooches, ring, one sovereign, half sovereign, Is. 6d. in 'flyer, sod • railway ticket. Mr. Hayman enquired if it was a return ticket. The witness said it was not. It was a child's half ticket which she ought to have given up at the railway station. The porter seeing • little girl in the train by herself 'ap posed some one would all for her and told her to wait. It seemed that during his absence she walked away out of the station. Mr. Dayman—How could she get the ticket ? Witness—lt is the half ticket usually given for children. Mr. M Daman—What raker would give a half ticket to • child by herself to travel to Canterbury without knowing t at :bout her? (To the prisoner)—Have you any to say ? , in a low tone—No, sir. Mr. Dayman—l most endeavour to get you into a re. farmstory after you have been punished in another way. I shall remand you for • week to make some inquiries. The prisoner, who appeared to treat the case with in. Menace, was then removed to the cells. It was stated that the prisoner bad no friends whatever In Canterbury, and was quite a stranger to the city. MURDER BY A LUNATIC. On Wednesday an inquiry took place at the Rainhill Asylum, before Charles E. Drifileld, Fog., coroner, as to the cause of the death of a patient named John Irving, who, it appears, has been in the asylum sine the Itith of November last, when he was removed thither from the Liverpool workhouse, having previously resided at 38, Shadivelletreet, Liverpool. He suffered from paralyees as well as being mentally afiected, and be died on Monday evening last from injuries received from another patient, named John Flynn, a native of the East Indies, who has been confined in the asylum fora period of air years under the Secretary of State's warrant, as a criminal lunatic, for housebreaking. The first witness examined was Matthew Walworth, a warder in the asylum, who stated that he and another warder, named Haddock, bearing about one o'clock on Monday afternoon • scuffle and noise proceeding from the No. 5 ward, which is the refractory ward, where the deemed and Flynn, together with 18 other patients, were plated, they immediately went there, and found Flynn standing over the deceased, who was lying on his beck on the fl agged floor. Flynn lifted him tip by the shoulders, dashed him down twice on the floor, and then struck him • violent blow on the top of the nose before they could get to him. They immediately removed Flynn, and found the deceased bleeding from the nose and the back part of the head. Every attention was paid to him, and IDr. Rogers, the surgeon at the asylum, was called in ; but the man grew gradually worse, and died about six p.m., with out every rallying. The witness also stated that the de ceased was labouring under a delusion that every one he saw was wearing his clothes, and always accused them of stealing them ; and there was little doubt he had been chargiog Flynn with baring taken his clothes whoa be was assaulted by him. William Haddock, the other warder, corroborated the Let witness, and stated that Flynn, who had lost the forefinger of hi right hand, was • powerful man, and very refractory. Dr. Rogers described the nature of the fatal injuries. 'The nose was broken, and the back part of the head was much injured. He also stated that Flynn was very excitable and quarrelsome, but was quite unaware of what had taken place. Mr. Dont, summon, of Present, stated that be had made a post moment examination, and found the bones of the nose fractured, and the bridge driven into the nostrils, evidently by a blow; and that there was a considerable effusion of blood on the braan, which bad been the cause of death. The blood yeasts were much congested, and the injuries corresponded with the marks on the back of the head. The injuries ap peared to have been recently inflicted. The jury after consulting a abort time, returned • verdict of " Wilful murder" against Flynn. THE MCEDER IN THE COUNTY or LIMERICE.— No direct due has been obtained respecting the brutal mur der at Brittas on Sundae night. The head of the deceased, Michael Fleming, was 'fearfully mangled, and one of the eyes foreed from its socket. He had been in company with his wife at Cappemore on Sunday, at three o'clock. She is a dairywoman, and they separated each to return to their homes. At the coroner's inquest a verdict of wilful mur der against persons unkaowo was returned. The murdered man had two pounds in his possession when the wife parted with him to return to her master's employment. A stepson of the unfortunate victim is in custody on suspicion. RAILWAY ACClDEAT.—Yeatsrday morning, as a goods train from Carlisle towards the south was pssaing over the North Union Railway, it was run into by a coal train from the Springs branch, @Boated about a mile and a half south of Wigan. The Swings branch is a line from the Ince Hall Colliery. The driver of the Carlisle train seeing the signal at the junction indicating that he was to come on, did not slacken speed. When the coal train came upon the line it was too late to avoid a collision, and the driver and stoker of the goods train both jumped off their angina. The driver, however, _sustained a fracture of two Sager., The engine was turned round and upset, so as to block up both tracks of the main line. The tnalie on both was stopped for about tire hours. None of the men on the coal train were injured, bat several waggues in both trains were shattered to pieces. COTTON EN ROCTZ TO LIVERPOOL.—The recent heavy imports of cotton into Liverpool have welled the stocks to a considerable extent, and ou reference to the late advises from America we learn that there are 27 ships bound from New Orleans to Liverpool with 91,090 bales of settee on board ; from Mobile there are 11 ships with 29,713 hales ; from Charleston there aro 6 ships with 15,083 hake ; from Savannah there are 6 ships with 13,11C32 bales ; from Philadelphia one ship with LiB hales ; from Galveston 2 ships with 3,509 bake ' • from New York there are 15 ships with 8,302 bales on buonl. The Melees from Bombay give 15 ships for Liverpool with 45,887 bales. Total from America and India 200,552 hales. Tho township of North Shiekls was polled on Tuesday on the question of guaranteeing the 50,0001.- posed to be lent in aid of the Low Light Dock scheme. Both in number and mans the votes in favour of the guarantee lamely preponderated. THE ORNAMENTATION Or WATCHES WITH FINE ART Dencom.- - It ls singular that our English manufactures of watches have ovitrineilied the importance of superior art. designs for their productlees. The fact Li the costliness of ma terial and perfection of mechanism in the smartest compass seem heretofore to have been looked upon as the exclusive standards by which a watch could be judged, the onamentitiou being considered of no importanc e . Signifi can t s i gns of improvement are, however, indicated by at least one manufacturer. nil oh *errors of progress In all departments of art and manufactures, we feel much *mum to adding our testirnory to the one taste which has been displayed in the selection of artistic designs for ornamenting watches by Mr. 3.

THI CORN TAIDN BIRIMICHAM, Dec. G. During the past month a reduction of about %. per quarter has taken place in the value of old English and %reign wheat, sad 6s. per quarter on new English ; thrashing en the meanwhile going on very freely. We have to apologise to our readers for an error in our last circular, in converting the imports of flour into wheat, the quantity both for the month of September being less than 900,000 quarters. In October, 1,077,000 qrs. of wheat and Hour were imported, being at the 'rate of nearly 13,000,000 of qrs. per annum ; so far toyed ascertained they are likely to be still larger for November, and so much is now on the way and overdue, that we think there can be little or no falling off in December. The im rta of other grain in October only exceed by about 15,1 r I qrs. those for the cor responding period last year ; but the total of all kinds of grain and meal for that month was the unprecedented quantity of 1,573,864 quarters. The recent fall in price, added to the dearness of money, will materially lessen the imports iu the spring ; but ea far, with the exception of some of the Russian and Danubian ports, which are closed for the winter, there a so decrease in the quantity shipping. it great deal has been said in the newspapers aa to the gold soon coming back again from France, but we apprehend that much of it is required in payment for the large shipments of corn and flour from France and Spain to this country. The principal demand for wheat continues on the American qualities ; but it is reported that henceforward the are not likely to arrive in such fine condition as hitherto ; alai if so, they will not be so much sought after for mixing with the new English ; in which case, Black Sea and Asa wheats will be lees neglected than at present. The past month having been on the whole favourable, most of the wheat is sown, sad some of it coming up well. The French export duty is not expected to advance on the 7th of this month ; bet we are of opinion the decline which has taken place with as will cause shipments from France for awhile to be °oar paratively trifling. Potatoes, on lifting, prove better then wee expected : we have large supplies of prime quality per rail from Scotland, and some quantity are on the way from the Wart of Ireland to Gloucester. The new wheat, with rare exception, comes to market in very damp condition, and red sells at all prices, from sa. 3d. tab. 3d. per 621%.; whites much wanted for Cplour, and realises Is. to Is. 6d, per bushel more ; American red, 7a. 4d. to Is. Bd. • white, 85. to Bs. 4d.; (Writs, Is. to 7s. 4d.; English cleared 7s. Bd. to 2a.; white, Bs. 3d. to Ba. 6d.; all per Nibs at ßirmingham . Barley is about 3s. per quarter lower for endow:l , 4o4ms, with merely a retail demand at the decline. The conditiee of the new is very damp, but the yield, ea anticipated, me: Urge. Our arrival' during the month, chiefly from and Ireland, have been heavy, but we believe but little more is on its way to Gloucester, either from thence er elsewhere, with the exception of a few cargoes of Mulish, French feeding qualities are selling at 325. to 345. ; Engliah, lb to 325. per 4001bs. at Gloucester. We had an advance at about la per quarter on oats earlii the month, which has sine e been lost. The supply of Eng lish continues large for the season and of prime quality. e new white Irish which have arrived at Gloueetterare also of superior quality, and will interfere with the sale of Dutch. If hay maintains its present very high price we think cats cannot be much, if wh• lower. Irish grey sell slowly at 244. 6d. to 25e. 6d., ite 26e. to 275. 6d., Dutch 2%. to 30s. per 31211:e. at Gloucester: black are held at 24e., but no buyers thereat ; old grey ore still taken in limited quantities at 24.. to 295. per 3121ba at Gloucester. A small portion of the crop of hams is still in the fields, where it mut now remain nntll we have frosty weather. Old English nearly main. tain their value, but new have given way 3e. to 4s. per quarter, and the farmers' supplies are selling at very irregular prices, owing to their generally bad condition. We have bad some considerable arrivals of new French, which monied 17s. 6d. to 18e. per 1961%. at Gloucester English new, 15s. to 175., old, 2fk. to 225. ; Egyptian, 17e. to 17s. 6d. per 19611*. here. We be lieve few of any kind are now on the way to Gloucester. The snppliea of peas into Gloucester have sot been equal to the demand, but an advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter, which took place a fortnight back, bas not been maintained. A few more small cargoes are en weep from Canada to our port, the present value Is 17s. 6d. to 18s. per 1961b5. at Gloucester. Indian corn is taken slowly at les. for Arai* and 16e. 6d. per 19611:e. far Odessa and Galata at Glouces ter.-(From J. and C. Sturges Circular.) paper had great difficulty in negotiating with at all, and only at • considerable sacrifice. On the money market resuming an easier tone, that for metals became better also ; but this revival has again been depressed by the gloomy news from America, which country, if we except the East Indies, is our far largest consumer of metals. Our last advioss from New Yank lead us to hope that the crisis will be but temporary ; trde is reported to be substantially sound, and as political dietarbssoes sown likely to he con fined to the south, while the west, from which the demand for metals is far t h e greatest, continues tranquil and pn4- perous, we may look with eonfideace to the future. If at the present moment there in a fall in the value of punk goods sold in New York, it is fully /compensated by the low rate at which bills on Europe can be purchased as n, tnittancea, and when the news ts received of the reduction in our bunk rate here, together with the shipmenu of specie to America, we have little doubt that pion will re. assert themselves and lay the foundation of a large and profitable Wade for the apprntoogg of 1861.—(From the nioutiily circular of Mews Von and North.) MARKETS. COTTON.—lnsaroot., Dec. I.—We have had rather more inquiry for cotton to-day, and the make are large, at merlons prom The asks are 10,000 bales—including 8,680 Awaken, et 4d. to 9d. ; 1,000 Burst, at 41d. to sfd. ; 200 gyptian, at Bfd. to 91d. ; 20 Perms, at 9d. ; BO Bahia, at E Bfd. ; and 70 lbwanham, at 8141. to 8J —of which 2,500 are for speculation and export. The week's import is 92,937 bales. WOOL AND WORBIID.—BRADPORD. Dtc. 6.—Very little wool has changed hands to-day. There is no change in prices. The purchases made are at full rates. Worsted yarns are in very scanty rwitiest. Both the home and foreign merchants, and espeerdlythe latter, operate to the smallest extent possible. The high price of wool leaves no margin on which to meet buyers. The piece department is exceedingly dull ; a gloom has been cast over the trade daring the week by the announcement of the suspension of payment on the part of a Manchester and Bradford house doing a large trade with the Levant. This circumstance, the bad advices from the United States, and the very for. Lidding condition of the weather, tend to dishearten all who are engaged in the trade, and the dulness which exists altogether is almost unexampled. Buyers are apparently holding off till the beginning of the new year, and manu facturers find it difficult, if not impossible, either to effect contracts or to reduce their stocks. CORN.—Brmaironaw, Dec. 6.—At Olouceetermarket on the let in t. wheat was L. to N. per quarter lower ; at Wor cester, tame day, the decline did not exceed la, per quarter; barley ls. per quarter cheaper, and difficult to sell ; beans nominally unaltered ; peas down le. to 2s. per quarter. During the present week the =pollee at the country mar-1 kite have been on • smaller sale, and our millers have again reduced the retail price of flour N. 4d. per Back, Which as usual has caused rather more demand for wheat, at fully previous rates. Barley still tending downwards, and only taken in retail ; cabs and beans nearly maintained their value ; peas, Is. cheaper. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, there was alma supply of wheat, and no reduction sub mined to. At this day's market there was • less supply from the fanners, and all qualities sold readily, at fully the currency of this day week. Barley held for previous rates, but only taken in retail. More doing in cats, ut previous rates. Beans unaltered. Peas la. per quarter cheaper. Danz's, Dec. 6.—We bad a moderate supply of wheat; the beat lots of old and of new were sold at an advance of from ls. to 2s. • quarter with a good clearance ; but all in ferior qualities were very unsaleable. The beat barley fully maintained last week's prices, and in some few in stances was le. per qr. dearer, with a good trade. Wheat, best, We. to 68s. ; middling, 475. to 595. ; inferior, 40s. to 47e.

MANCE:ESTER, Dec. 6.—Our market this morning was well attended, and a good business would have been done in the finest Aracrican and other foreign wheat. had holders been disposed to go on at the prices accepted daring the week, but having raised their pretensions sides were checked. Secondary sorts were only in moderate request, and no dearer. The beat English was fully as high, bat other sorbs unsaleable. For extra qualities of French flour there was an improved demand at fully previous rotes. American sold slowly, and all but superior qualities were rather lower. In good marks of English there was but little doing at last week's currency, while doubtful kinds are only nominal in value. Oats and oatmeal moved off slowly without change in prices. Beane and Indian corn declined 6d. to la. per qr. ' NEWARK, DEC. s.—The weather during the past week has been uafavourable for farmers' thrashing. A small show of wheat at to-day's market ; all good samples brought ex treme rates. Barley—fine quality in request at full prices ; inferior qualities hang on hand. Oats and beaus ma last week. Uxintlixis, Dec. 6.—The constant damp weather makes the grain come in bad condition, and most samples are lower in value ; only the best quality of wheat and barley keep their prim. Wheat is 445. to 665. ; barley, 325. to 445. ; cats, 20i. to 30a. ; beans, 4;kl. to 52a. ; peas, 445. per qr. WATERFORD, DEC. s.—We have small supplies of grain from all sources, and with a better demand for most exudes the trade assumes a firmer tone, and holders generally am looking for a slight advance on last Saturday's rates. EDINBURGH, Dec. 6.—We had in the market to-day 398 qrs. wheat, 2,748 barley, 1,804 oats, and 9 beans. There were sold—Wheat, 333 qrs. barley, 2,078, oats, 1,201, and henna, 9 qrs.
