He saw Mr. Carr shortly before be was made bankrupt, but did not request him to beoorne the petitioning creditor. He had four or five notices hips different parties to whom he owed money, so that he knew his poem was not eats. Knowing these things, be believed Mr. Hodpes spoke to Mr. Cam upon the subject, who he believed tante there to make him bankrupt. He bad been served with six or eight • writs in the present yew. He might have been served with writs as early as March or April, but could not take his oath on. way or the other. He dad not believe hinieelf to have been insolvent seta early in July. He knew he owed more than he could pay at any moment, but he considered he was justified in endeavouring to relieve his position. On the 4th of July he dishonoured an acceptance of Mr. Miles, and he purchased from other persons goods in that month which are now unpaid for. He had no doubt those grab were taken poseession of by his mother under the diabase for rent. He now owed 13,350/., 5,0001. of which was represented by old d e bt s . He had next to no property to meet them. His mother was the landlady of the premises he occupied on his last bank ruptcy. He thought, but was not sure, that at that time dm took all there was for rent. He afterwards carried on the business at the tame premises, and with the same furniture, upon which there was • distress for rent, or • portion of it. The ledger produced was his, and wee by Mr. Price, • clerk in his employ. At folios 201 and is that ledger, the word rent" struck through in ink was a mistake. The word was struck out about • fortnight ago—he thought since his bankruptcy, and by his direc tion. The books remained in the Mike until yesterday. Of the entry to the credit of Mrs. Crockfcsd, 1,2001. and odd, MO/. was for rent, and there was no payment road it. That entry was made at the same time, and since his bank ruptcy. He had never called attention to the miry before that day. He never saw the entries in that book Were his bankruptcy. He believed they were made by Mr. Prins from time to time as the dates appear. He had amass to it from time to time. His mother advanced him 1,5241. to enter the Wellington. The entries of that advance at the commencement of the day-book were made • . a fortnight ego by his explanation. Space was left for them. He gave that esplanades, because he fancied a question of the claim 1,0001. would be raised. It was done for the purpom of assisting his mottled& claim. The whole amount of the 1,9001, was owing for rent. The payments at the folio numbered 201 were not made on account of rent ; they were made on account of the 1,5301. which his mother lent him. Receipts were taken and signed from Mrs. Crockforti for those peymentaand which heibelieved were among his papers at the official assignees". He did not give them to his clerk from time to time for the of having the account made up. He kept them loc p locked in • private desk. He was living with his mother during the present is year.

The child's father said that his daughter earned s good deal of money, and the prisoners. who knew that fact, must have taken the child for the purpose of pin. The prisoners had suddenly left their lodgings when they obtained possewion of the child. The accused were remanded for a week. MARLSOBOUGH43TRIKET, . . T. Kennedy, - of 23, Cherry Tree-court, Cloewellsitreet, was charged with imposing on Richard Tyne, a enb-driver, and obtaining from him 2s. It appearred that the prisoner offered to sell stone cigars to the cabman, who bought three bundles of ten each for 2s. When he came to light them, however, they turned out to be made of brown paper. The complainant after wards met the prisoner and gave him into custody. A policeoonstable produced • quantity of mock cigars and cheroots, well imitated to resemble choice Hnvannahs, found on the prisoner. The prisoner, in defence, said they were manufactured for shop window show. Mr. Tyrwbitt said the laws affecting cases of fraud were very nicely defined. It was clear the defendant hail met with a greenhorn, and practised on him. He would remand the case, and in the interim would examine into the law on the suhject. Remanded accordingly. THE WALWO.REH MURDERS. Very shortly after the conviction of the prisoner William Godfrey Youngman arrangemossite were made for his removal to the county poi of Surrey, Horsemonger lane, where the sentence will be carried out, the offence having bean committed in that county. He preserved his caning Is the last, and when he was taken back to his cell after his cuoviction he merely expressed a wi th to have his supper saying that he was hungry, and he partook of the food that wadi given him with great herds= and sip genet relish.

The primmer, ea his removal, was scoompanied by Mr. Keene, the governor of Horsemonger-law gaol, and two warders, and it appears that he did not say a word to either of them, but seemed in deep thought Upaahis arrival at Horsenmegerlans he underwent the march and exa mination, and be was then placed In the all Is the new win of the prison appropriated to annuls under sentearis of death, and which is the same that was occupied by flasethurst. It is rather a angular feet that the primmer was defended through the instrumentality of slat* men in the City who are opposed to capital and they subscribed a sum of money to enabr. Wag kern to conduct his defence and to instruct counsel as hie behalf. When he was first commuaioMed with in reference to his defence, it appears that the prisoner endeavoured to suggest that he was not in a ssue state of mind when the dreadful acts were committol, but upon hie being informed that such a defence was not likely to avail him under the circumstances, be at owe consented that it should he abandoned, and asserted that the crimes were committed by hex mother, and that he killed her in self-defence. It appears, however, that the prisoner ham at various times suggested other defences, all el which were orally improbable, soil there is very little doubt that his mind was oppressed with the weight of the Maumee Against him, and the probebility is that he will 'make a fell statement of the circumstances under which the dreadful crimes were committed.

With reference to the distributioe of the profits of the half Icor, they propose that a dividend be declared for the half-sear at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum, free of Mamie tax, and that the balance then re ntainiag, of 10,1641.

NEW COVET. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) Joke Constant Wellies, 34, clerk, and Charles Bliss, 32, agent, were indicted for 'Mahn 6,000 yards of plush, value the property of Jules Gillett, the master of Wank& Mr. Sleigh and Mr. But prosecuted, and Mr. Giffard end Mr. G. H. Lewis defended. Mr. Metcalfe appeared to watch the me upon th e part of a person named Hart, who bad b the property alleged to have been stolen. p ecime has lasted two entire days, and the fade, which have upon more occasion, than one been recently very fully given, were these. The prosecutor and the preemies were Frenchmea, and Weiner was confidential and managing clerk to the prosecutor, who is a plash merchant in Paris, having he London house of business at No. 8, Upper Stamford-street. Woillas entered his service about ten months ago, and with his wife and family lived upon the promisee, having the entire care of the stock. On the 16th of Apnl the prosecutor was called to Paris upon the death of one of his family, and he then left the pri soner Woillea and , the dock on the premixes. On the 20th of April he received • telegraphic message for him to return to London, informing him of the robbery ; but badness prevented him from coming back before the 22nd of May, and he then found out what had taken place in his absence. All his stock was gone, and it appeared that shortly after he bad quitted for Paris the prisoner Wodlez told the prosecutor's partner, Davis, that he had obtained a customer fur the stock, and that prosecutor had written to him (Weiner) to go to Paris. On the night of the 24th of April, the prisoner Bliss dap in Upper Stamford-street, upon the sofa, in the apartments of W oilier, and upon the next morning, about 10 ook, a cart with the name of Haut, Bury-street, St. Mary-axe, came,and Mr. Hart with it. Mr. Hart looked at the stock in about • quarter of an hour, and it was then pat into the cart and taken away. Bliss was present at the removal, and also Wallin, after which he and his wife end children left, end did not return. Oa the next day a letter came from the pros ecutor to Woilles, and the wenhaving some suspicions, got it translated for , and then communicated with Mr. Sidney, of Finsbaryequare, Mr. Gillett's solicitor, and he then com municated with the prosecutor, and when he came he went and saw his property at the warehouse of Solomon Abra ham Hart, Bury-east, Si. Mary-axe. An action for trover was then commenced against Hart, which came on for trial on the 9th of July, xt Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Justice, in the Court of Common Pleas, and the trial lasted two days. From some information which the prosecutor received the prisoner Bliss was taken into custody, and was brought up before the magistrate on the day the action commenced, and prosecutor not being there, he wee dismissed. Blies was examined as a witness for Hark and he swore that he believed that Woillea was Mr. Gillett, and as such he had introduced him to Hart, the defence set up to the action being that the defendant Hart had advanced • sum of 1,200!., Minus WI. the commission and entered, to Weiner on the geode, thinking that Waller was Mr. Gillett. The pri soner Bliss, in his crossozamination at that trial, gave a very mmatiefactory account of himself, he having, it ap pend, a nominal place of baldness in the City, and that he hem Weiner by the name of Jules the Zouave for about two years before this transaction. The jury upon trial found for the defendant, at the same time adding that he ought for the future to be more wet in his dealings At that time Weiner had not, as far as the prosecutor knew, been apprehended, but subsequently it appeared that whilst the action was being tried Wane; who bad been traced from Hamburg to Moscow in a most clever manner by Sergeant William Palmer, was on that day Illaptured at the latter place by that o ffi cer with between 1001. and 7001. on him, 3J21. of which wee in sore. reigns in • bag, and in a box was found some letters from Bliss to him, which clearly showed that Blies had been fully aware that Wellies and he had arranged the robbery be tween them. Bliss bad ;banged the cheque got from Hart into noes, and then at the Bank into gold and smaller notes. He had also got a pumped in his own same, and when Waller was taken at Moscow, he was travelling with a passport in the name of Rochet, which passport it appeared belonged to • gentleman of that ' name in whose house the prisoner Bliss had lodged. When he returned to this country he wrote to prosecutor • full admission of his guilt, begging for m ercy , and stating that the prisoner Bliss, to whom he had given part of the money, had advised him to do it. BIM; was then again taken into custody, and both prisoners sent for trial. A mass of oorrespondesee between the prisoners was in terpreted by M. Albert, whom the court complimented for hi ability and correctness. It fully established the con nexion between the wheaten. Mr. Gilled, spa the part of Bliss, armed moot ably that no positive proof had - been given that alley had not authority from the prosecutor to sell goods generally, sad if not, Rim might bays thought that he had. Mr. F. H. Levi, who had been instructed for the mi. loner Woillsa, was about to address the court when Wanks bogged to In hosed himself, as he thought Mr. Lewis was advancing the cause of Hart. Mr. Lewis endeavoured to convince him that he was in error, as also did the court, but the prisoner begging that be might be beard himself, the court asionted, and be read • statement of the whole transaction, showing that Bliss had urged him to do it. The l'ommissioner having in a moat clear and impartial manner summed up the case, especially directing the fury to diamies all consideration of the civil action, and be guided solely by the evidence in this case. The jury, after a brief retirement, foiled both the pri soners Guilty, The prisoner Wellies then pleaded guilty to another in dictment against him alone for embezzling the sum of 2024 175., the amount of two cheques belonging to the prosecutor, which he had stolen and got s a shed. This money he Sid he put in the bag found by the constable and had not touched. /IL;.filieigisappliad for that sum to be at once given up to Mons. Gillett. Mr. Had said bis counsel Mr. Metcalfe ought to have been present, and it was hard upon him that he was not, but be thought that as Use neeney was in the beg with the othergobl, rt oaf ht not to he given up, or at Wag only • pert, in proportion to the whole anment. Mr. Sleigh said there was nes any reseal for Mr. Hart to complain of Mr. Meted* as he had arranged with him that with fogad to the plush a writ of restitution should he applied for, sad that it should not be put in form Instil next medon, to allow Mr. Hut to Ale any affidavits he might think fit up= trittdreion of hie claim to it upon Mr. undertaking to produoe it in court. The OemmiNdoner asked . if be agreed to do so. Mr. Hart hesitated, and refused to give a direct answer. The Ommoismioner--Do yea or do you not, Mr. Hint said he would rat unclerake to do so. The Commieloner—Than I order the writ to issue now, and the rods t i : g beiven up, and allow the 2021. Mr. Gillett to recommend Wellies to mercy, as be felt certain he been &sant into it. He bad been • captain in the &naves, and seven times wounded. The Commissioner sentenced both prisoners to two years' impristutuent sod bard labour. The jury said that they thought the very meritorious con. duct of Sergeant Palmer ought not to pass unrewarded. The Commissioner said it should not be lost sight of ; but the oonviction being only for larceny, be had. no power to make any award. This ended the business, and the next session is Monday, September 17. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL :4l mate, was charged with embezzling about 151. 1 eging to Mews. Morgan sad Co., wholesale provi sion merchants, of Georgeatrect, Sow - hil l, his masters. Evidence was giver by Mr. Butcher, a grocer and cheese monger, and by Mr. Hawkias, eheeseamager, of the Fay slant of two sum* of 201. 13s. fkl., and 131. 13s. td. to the prisoner on account of Messrs. Morgan and Co. Thomas Webb, nobler to Messrs. Morgan, proved that ' the prisoner had not aocoanted for the two sums mentioned, as he ought to have done. Mr. Morgan said there were ten other cares against the prisoner, but he thought the two would be sufficient. The prisoner entered his service in April last ; his defalcations I did not commence till June, since which he had embezzled las much as 150/. He had a salary of Si. per week, and all hie expensee while travelling. Alderman AMA= said be should commit the prisoner for trial, but beforeedoing so he should like to have one more caseate the depositions, for which purpose he should re mand the prisoner till Wednesday next. Henry egottgA, a cabmen', No. 3,717, was summoned for refusing a fem. It appeared that Mr. Kemp, the srmourer of the London Bile Brigade, desired to engage the defendant to drive to Horuesy.wood House, where some ride practice was to take place. The defendant asked 7s. as his fare, and when he found he was to have only 2s. 6i1., his proper fare, be refused to go, and became very abusive and grossly offen sive. Sir J.

COTTON 000DB.—Idencesirrks, Ammar 18.—Cotton ham undergone a reaction in prices to the extent did. to fd. per lb. After a long period of depression, some of our spinners have been trying to arrest the decline in rates to which they have been somewhat too passively submitting of late, as was supposed, and there is a little more steadiness geoevally in yarns for the Continent and for the home trade. Of course very little can be done in India yarns after the diszouraging accounts to head at the beginning of the week. Buyers, however, look with some suspicion upon the movement in Liverpool, and in some cases the firmer in prise is followed by very restricted operations. Iu the cloth market it is absolutely unfelt. For nearly all India fabrics prices are easier to buy, and the operations few. It is much the same in longclotha, T cloths, and printers. Is lode kinds, as the finer T cloths and printers, prices are rather steadier from the absence of stocks ;the market is :oo quiet to enable sellers to rally prices at present.

HARDWARE.—Thamusonsie, Aconerr 18.—The re ports as to the state of the trade of this town are with very few exceptions of an uneatidactory character ; and the prospects of an improvement are anything but promising. In neither the home nor foreign trade is there any 11.11i11111- *a whatever ; and orders given out both by the merchant. and factors have of late been so small that many of the manufacturers have not been able to keep their workpeoplo fully occupied, except by making up go al s for stock. For a month past Mashies. has been getting pone ; such of the manufacturers aa had been kept going by working up old orders, have all but ex ha usted them, aud to be dependent for a supply from day to day in the state trade now is, with the weather operating to increasingly depress it, can result in nothing short of the languid condition which business here is in almost in every department. The brass-foundry trades generally are pretty good ; the tin-plate workers, edge-tool maker*, and tube-makers are also pretty busy ; but in the great variety of our trades, which include the manufacture of articles for general domestic use, the supply of orders is more scanty than it has been for several years. The manufacturers are always disposed to keep their full complement of workpeople as long as possible, and few have been discharged at present ; buts continuance of the present dulness by which trade is affected must lead to that ; in fact, during the past week many have not been making more than three or four days ; mad those who are employed out of the manufactories are not so well off in that respect. Indeed, making every allowance for some exaggeration in the reports relative to the dulness of our trades, there can be no doubt but that the position of business generally is anything but that which could be desired. The manufacturing trades of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire are also slack : Mr. F. C. Ferry, who failed in the iron trade at the end of the year 1837, and paid his creditors Bs. in the pound, is again in difficulties. He filed his petition in this Bank ruptcy Court en Wedneeday ; the liabilities will, it is stated, exceed 20,0001. There are one or two other failures for amounta in the district.

For the best south yel low 655. per follbs. was firmly demanded, which had the effect of checking business, but at 1.. Jess a free sale might have been experienced ; very moderate runs of Wisbech, defective in colour, were sold at 60s. per 5041 be. In foreign the transactions passing were nut large, owing partly to the high pretensions of sellers, and to the circumstance of our principal millers having purchased freely during the week, still, however, in the business done an advance of fully is. per qr. was realised ; a very choice cargo of red from Howacht having been placed at 645., sad white Sandonarke at the same money, medium mixed Dantsie at the same time being saleable at 645. per qr. 50tIbe.

READING Acorn 18.—The attendance thin morning was scanty, maths state of the weather, and its injurious in. flume en the crops, was the general theme. In a few places reaping has commenced, but proceeds very slog. Still the reports are not so decidedly unfavourable as of t have been expected though the ram which has fallen t is morning is eslculated to increase the damage already done. The supply of wheat was of a very limited character, and though at the leading markets prices are nearly stationary, holders were firm in requiring an advance. This, however, could not be obtained this morning to any quotable extent, but the turn wee certainly in favour of the seller. The trade for other descriptions of grain was, as of late week., nearly nominal, as may be judged from the inspector's re turn, If that document is correct, there are no sales effected. ROCHISTIZ, AUGUST 18.—The supplies of wheat Were moderate and the business done was mostly at the rates of last week, although Buena of the best samples of white and red were quoted a trifle dearer. Foreign was fully as dear, and fine samples ware readily taken off. The demand for flour slightly improved, but no perceptible variations in the quo tations took plan. There was scarcely anything Joins in barley, but the samples for malting purposes are quoted at ed. to Is. per quarter advance, while the grinding sorts were dull at former rates. Oate were only brought for ward is email quantities, but as the trade was a trifle brisbn• the business done was in favour of sellers. Beans and peas were brought forward but sparingly, and the priors of each of those articles are nominally the same, with a tendency to advance. Woomera, AUGUST 18.—At this day's market there was a good supply of wheat from the farmers, but the continued rain ena bled them to obtain an advance of lee. to 21. per qr. Barley rather dearer. Oats held for 6d. to ls. per qr. snore money. Beans Is., and peas 2.5. per qr. higher. _ . • Wiesen, AUGUST 18.—The weather during the week has been very changeable—oeamionallv fine; to-day rain has set in with a cold atmosphere.
