She was talking incohe rently, and she tried to bite my bands. I sent for my mate, who also laid hold of her.

I ran down and saw the plaintiff' having hold of the throat of my sister. I said, " Oh, she is killing my sister run for a police- man." She then made at me with her hands, saying.

Jobs Diamond, whc;described himself u a cotton spin ner, and refused hie addrew, was charged with the following offence : Samuel Carter, a housekeeper at No. 1, Warneford-court, said he left the savings bank, in Moorfielibi, and was pro. Deeding along North-buildings, when the prisoner, who was walking near him, dropped his glove, and witness picked it up and returned it to him. The prisoner then entered into conversation about America, from which place be said he had just arrived. He said he was about to receives quantity of American sovereigns, which ho said were rather thicker than the English sovereign. Witness said he should like to see one, and the then said they were done up in packet s to be excused opening them, and ultimately asked witness to allow him to look at an English coin of that denomination. Witness handed him a sovereign which the prisoner examined minutely, and when he eventually returned the coin, which he appeared to have been looking at, witness dis covered that a counterfeit had been substituted for the genuine sovereign which witness had entrusted him with a minute previous. The prisoner then ran away and took refuge in • public-house, whither he was followed by wit ness, who gave him into custody. When searched at the policeetation, upon him were found several other counter feit sovereigns, or, as the Mint authorities denominate them, " med als," to endeavour to pass which is not con sidered, according to the " Mint law," uttering counterfeit coin. Five "flash" 51. note were also found upon him, besides the witness's good sovereign. The prisoner, who was not known to the police, elected to be cleat with summarily, and pleaded guilty for that ur a e rman Rose, with the concurrence of Alderman Humphery, said the prisoner had evidently waylaid the prosecutor from the savings bank for the purpose of plun dering him, and if anything else had been known against his character he would have been sent for trial. The prisoner was then sentenced to six months' imprison meet, with hard labour. - Mr. Aaplaod—l subrait that that is • verdict for th• dafrad•ot. The Lord Chief Justice—l em of a contrary opinion.

The re spondent's cstac was that no such cruelty bed been established as would justify the jury in coming to the conclusion that cohabitation wee unsafe. In his examination ' however, he admitted some of the sere with which he had been chisr;ed, but raid they had been committed under great provocation, sad that his wife had been guilty of much greeter violence towards him than he had ever offered to her. His evidence we. in part corroborated by his another anal by two of the servants. _ . To prove the counter charp of adultery some women were called belonging to a brothel at Greenwich, who swore that they had rem Mrs. Fisher and Mr. Fenner together there, but their accounts as to the time when, and circum stances under which, they had seen Mrs. Fisher were some what confused and contradictory.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COI:MT. —Die. & (Before the Chief Commissioner.) IN Its GEORGE ALIRID WEBETIIL —A THEATRICAL MANAGER. This insolvent, • theatrical manager. applied to be ad ' nutted to bail until hi. hearing at the latter end of the present month. From the echadule it appeared that the debts were not large, and that Mr. !it cluster had bees • manager in lancealeire sad for • short period at the Lyceum and ftadler's Wells Theatres, and had bestilea been • teacher of literature and elocution. The insolvency was attribnted by Mr Webster to not having made sodicient pr”lts ie his pr,fe.moil f theatrical iutorger. No opposi tion was offered to the sophcstioa.

Mr. Gifford and Mr. H. Lloyd prosecuted, and Mr. Hoz pa Lloyd defended. It appeared that the prisoner on the day in question went to the shop of Mr. Yates, seed merchant, Stockport, and requested change for •U. note. The prisoner having a vary respectoble appearance the prosecutor changed the note for hior The prisoner requested to have two pounds in silver, but this be could not do, and the prisoner took up the money in a very hasty manner, and left the shop, which roamed Mr. Yatee's suspicions. He then went and referred to the Manchester Guardian, which contained a list of the number( of forged notes, and found the note the prisoner had given had the number of one of them. He went in search of the prisoner with his foreman, and when he was taken into custody he endea voured to run away. At the time be asked to have the note changed he gave the fictitious name of Wm. Williams, of Hyde. The defence set up was that the note was taken by the prisoner, and it wee such • good imitation he was unaware of its being • forged note, and that be pve • false name be cause his friends should not be dirpaesd There was another indictment of stealing • watch, but there was no evidence offered upon it.

Mr. D. Seymour Mr. Headlani, and Mr. Iwycook prose cuted ; and Mr. Liddell (who bad bees swiped by the ) defended the primmer. One of the whammies canal ter the prosscution was Wm JoAnne, who maid—l ant a pmekeeper at Port Mul. grave. I know the last witness, Chinn. On Friday I got the description of a man, and on the next day I saw Urwrin, and had a conversation with him. On the Sunday Mrs. Urvrin came to me. I went to tirwin's and found the prisoner there. I sat down by him, and some coaversation took place. I told him there was a very winos charge against him. A man had been found dead at Wiolaton, and from the de• ecription given I believed him to be the man who wee sup posed to have committed the murder. I told him any civilian could apprehead a person on a charp of murder, and I wee In duty bound to do no. He said, " Well, I will go with you anywhere." I said, now this man appears to Imam been stripped of his clothes, and I asked him HUN met belonged to Bety. He said no. I asked him if the tronee.i. did, and he maid yes, the trousers did, and shoes too. I then asked him to go with me to my cottage. He west with me quietly, and stopped all night. Next day we took him to Gateshead, and delivered him up to Impactor Rodgers. He told me he had had a difference with Baty, and croa.buttocked him, but be did not think he had killed him. He said he did not know he was dead until next morning, when some one at Billclo h's meld be was to get up and wash the blood off himself, as Baty had been found deed. BY Kr. Liddell—He said no one was there but himself, and il• did s ot intend to kill the man. Impeder Badgers said—On the 19th of November the two lain witneesse brought the prisoner to me. I charged the with having murdered and robbed John Baty, of Wiohton. The prisoner said nothing. I took posses. sites of the trowsers and boots which the prisoner was wearing. Philip Armstrong, shoemaker, of Blaydon, examined the boob, produced by Inspector Rodgers , an d said he made them for John Baty. This was the CIAO for the prosecution. The Hon. A. Liddell !then addressed the jury in defence of the prisoner at considerable length, with the view of reducing the crime to one one of manslaughter. He said it was clear that there was no pretence for *eying that until these men met in that public-house that night there was any sort of deliberately-formed design in the mind of the preioner of injuring the deceased There was no lying in wait, no former grudges, no concerted scheme—nothing that the law called and expressed as malice. They found these two men, who were strangers Wench other, had been drink ing in • public-house. The learned Judge then proceeded to sum up, and having reviewed the evidence, said, that if the death of Baty was produced bye blow given in furtherance of a felonious ob. Jett, then the prisoner was guilty of murder. If the jury were satisfied that death wail neither so produced nor con tributed to, then it must be an acquittal—it could not be • case of manslaughter under these circumstances. The only thing that could reduce it to manslaughter was the state ment made by Use prisoner at the eleventh hour, that he gave the blow, but did not intend to kill the man. Th ere was not the shadow of evidence of this, except the prisoner's own statement. They jury would ask themselves whether they could place any reliance on that statement. They would look at all the circumstances of the case, regardless of consequences, and give a verdict in accordance with their sworn oath. The whole case was now before them : it was for them to decide. Anything that he could do to elucidate or soften any point —any witnesses they would like to recall, or any evidence upon which they would like to hear from him further remarks, he should be happy to assist them. He would now implore them to weigh the whole matter carefully, earnestly, and faithfully, and to give • verdict founded on pieties to the crown and to the prisoner. The learned judge concluded his summing up at a quarter. pest eve, when the jury retired. At a quarter.past seven they returned, and at their re quest the learned judge read over again some of the evi dance. Again the jury retired, and at forty minutes past eight re- turned into court. The prisoner was then called up alpda to the bar, and the jury returned a verdict of Malty. His lordship then passed sentence of death in the usual form. Eres's HOMMOTATRIC COCOA.

The coroner and jury completed their view yea terday afternoon of the additional bodies brought up from the ill-fated Black Vein Pit sines Wednesday, twenty-two in number ; thus making in all 107 viewed up to the present time. At 12 o'clock to-day no others had been recovered. The work of recovery, it will thus be seen, proceeds but slowly. The obstacles presented are great. As may be reedily imagined, the air in the pit, if not absolutely dan gerous, cannot be borne for any length of time, while from the decaying bodies the odour is most offensive. The men engaged in the repulsive task of moving the corpses golfer much, and it is with the greatest difficulty they drag themselves along with their ghastly burdens through the workings. To identify eons of the bodies is very difficult indeed. In several instances they were discovered In the last stages of decomposition being of necessity screwed down l in their co ffi ns immediately, and again opened for view by the jury. The coroner has acceded to a request of the jury not to resume the inquest until Thursday, the 20th inst., instead of the day previously fixed upon, Tuesday, the 18th, that and the following being the day. for holdiag the great cattle show in this town. But whether even by that time the government impeder will he ready with his evidence is doubtful, as that gentleman himself admits. The workings to be examined are of large extent. The difficulties from the falls and foul state of the pit are almost unparalleled, and up to the present time, beyond his incessant exertions in superintending the operations for the recovery of the missing men. Mr. Brough cannot be said to have snow plashed anything material in the way of his official investi. gation, upon which his opinion and evidence will be founded. Now that the nrst horror sad excitement have in some degree subsided, the best means are beiu2 adopted for the relief of the bereaved and distressed families. In this town most of the ministers purpose drawing attention to-morrow to the melancholy subject, and no doubt collec tions will be made in the various places of worship. The Wesleyan methodists took the initiative by a collection at their usual week-day service. A concert upon a grand scale is announced, the nrocee,ls to be devoted to the relief fund. The various public bodies are ready, or have signified their intention to assist in the good work, and a general orpaim tion throughout the county and district is talked of. Forty-three widows, one or two of whom are near con finement, and shove 100 children, are left in connexion with the 107 individuals recovered. THE. ROAD MURDER.— lnspector Norris ? of Bristol, and Superintendent Hughes, of Bath, ham, it is said, so far succeeded in their investigation of this mysterious case tha: they are already in • position to establish &prised facie case menet • certain person. In • few weeks they hope to have NJ matured their ease as to be able to apply for judicial assistance. Meanwhile, the Wilts police are very active in pursuing their inquiries, and we have reason to believe that they are in possession of a clue which may lead to important .discoveries. In connexion with this Superintendent Wolfe has visited From, and Road. Mr. Sylvester, the coroner for North Wilts, has taken steps to show cause against the application of the Attorney-General to Lb, Court of queen:e Blench. His solicitor has visited Frome, with • view to prepare affidavits in support of Mr. Sylv ester's conduct on the inquisition on the body of the murdered boy. ROBBERY AND AITIBIFTED MURDER.—WARWICIL, Dec. 5.—A most determined highway rubbery wascommitted at Hear End, near Wroxhall, • few miles from this place, to-night. A pig dealer named Smith was proceeding in the direction of Solihull, from the Warwick market, when be was stopped by three men, who no doubt expected he had some mooey, and who aaked him if he had "any pigs tonsil . ' They immediately knocked him down, riled his pockets of all they contained, via, a number of receipted bills and • certificate for shooting, and beat him about the bead with crab sticks until he was insensible. He was subsequently carried to • neighbouring farm-house, and on being examined by a surgeon, it was found that he bad sustained such serious injuries that it is doubtful whether he will recover.

For fine old foreign there was • steady inquiry, Stettin red realising 660., and extra Wulgast 695. in retail.

Oats, if env thing, a little dearer, and a very large quantity changed bands at pricer from 18e. to 30s. New beans may be quoted as low as 405., and prime samples of old as high as 565. ; the latter were in demand. Hog pees not very plentiful, and were worth from 40e. to 445.

After the despatch of our parcel, yeeterday, Elizabeth Dodds. charged with the wilful murder of her husband, John Dodds, by administering arsenic to him, was ac quitted. AVID ER or • POLICEMAN AT WYBLETON. Thomas Richardson, a labourer, 26, was indicted for the murder, on the 25th October last, of Alexander M'Brian, one of the county constabulary. Mr. Pitzjames Stephen and Mr. Huish conducted the came on behalf of the prosecution ; and Mr. O'Brien de. fended the accused. M~risn, the deceased, was an officer of the county , eon stabulary, and was stationed at the lockup in Skirbeck quarter, in the division of Molland, near Boston, in Lin colnshire, and it appeared from the depositions made by the deceased after the wound was inflicted in the presence of the accused also, that while be was on his beat in the parish of Wyberton, between 12 and 1 o'clock on the night in question, on passing through the churchyard at that village, he met a man whom he did not know, but who wore a black "billy-cock" hat drawn down over his face. The policeman, seeing be had t inn with him, inquired, " HoWs., mate, what have you got there r The man newer uttered a syllable, but at once raised the go to his shoulder and fired, the shot taking effect in the rtgbt ares of deceased. The &11•11•1612 immediately ran away. The wooded man at once made his way to the house of a t(117011 named Xing, close by, but that individual was in a stated drink, and refused to let him in. He then went to the reaLienee of the Rev. Charles Moore, the rector Wyliertoa, who at once got up and rendered every assisteace to the wounded man, and had him con. veroi to the station. From the description given the proper was apprehended, and on being taken before the wounded man, he positively swore that he was the man who Ind the shot. It was soon ascertained that the prisoner hod been drinking until shortly after 12 o'clock on the evening la question at the Crown and Anchor Inn, at Skil , beck, which place he left and went towards his home, a dis tance et a mile and a half, in company with a man named Leg (his brotherin.law) and another named BurrQl, the tatteraad the prisoner living next door to each other, and Xing residing a short distance off. King,was the Ant to separate to make his way home, and Burrell and the prisoner pro coaled together in company towards their residence. Shortly afterwards King heard 'shot erect. Thepolice went to the prisoner's house sod found a double-barrelled gun, the right hand barrel of which was discharged, and the left wee loaded. The wadding in this barrel was composed of a piece of newspaper, which corresponded with a piece found on the spot where the policeman was shot. The jury in about a quarter of an hour returned a verdict of Guilty, and the judge passed sentence of death in the usual form. The prisoner was throushout the trial totally unmoved, eat roomed his sentence in the most untonoerned manner possible. NORM WALES CIRCIIIT.—CHUTIA, Dec. 8. (Before Mr. Justice Blacktrore.) many. THE CAMBRIDGE SPINNING HOUSE CASES. We (Cambridge Indepairkui) have been favoured by the plsintiffs' attorneys with a copy of the exceptions to the ru lin g of the Lord Chief Justice in these cases, as handed in by Mr. Edwin James, on Monday morning, which we subjoin. The plaintiffs are to be at liberty to nig* these points, if it should become neeemary, either by motion before the full Court it Common Pleas, with liberty to appeal therefrom to the Court of Exchequer Chamber, or by tall of exceptions. This will, however, depend on the course taken by the defendant; as if no proceedinp are taken by him the verdict of the jury will remain midis tubed. Grounds for bill of exceptions : 1. That the proper construction of the words in the chanter of Elizabeth, "personae de mak ruspeetaa," is that the parties must be suspected on reasonable ground of some crime known to the law of England, or some definite inten tion to do evil. 2. That the charter u pleaded affonla no defence in paint of law to thin action. 3. That the commitment to prison without a warrant in writing wee illegaL 4. That the hearing and examination by the Vice- Chancellor under the provisions of the charter must be in accordance with the common law of England, vis. :—That witnesses in support of the charge should have been exa mined on oath, in the presence of the accused, and that the defendant had no power to examine the plaintiff, being the party charged, in the manner in which she was examined. 5. That the defendant had no right at law to commit to the prison described as the Spinning House, but only to some prison known as some common gaol. 6. That the Vice-Chancellor must be satisfied before he commits to prison by evidence taken by him, in the same manner as any ard= o nste of the peace, on a charge of crime within his j 7. That there was no evidence for the jury in support of either of the One. 8. That if there wee evidence of any written warrant at the time of the commitment, that warrant ought to have been produced, or its non-production accounted for, and that no verbal evidence of the cause and reason for the commit ment was admissible. fl. That the substituted warnuit was illegal and void for the parposs of supporting the defendant's pleas. The parties to appeal, or move, or proceed by Bill of U .:optima, as may beat raise the points.

B.—A close ex amination bas taken place during the week of the Dew tariff on yarns and cloths under the French treaty, and an opinion is pining ground that in various kinds of goods manufactured here a fair amount of trade is likely to spring up. But this is nearly the only pound for cheerfulness in our market at present. In nearly all kinds of cloth for export we h►ve less doing in consequence of the recent advicea from Bombay and the United States, and sellers for the Levant are acting cautiously owing to the recent failures among Greek merchants. At a meeting of Mr. Hiller's creditors, yesterday, it was stated that his liabilities were 88,9101., and the assets had been valued at 61,3711. Priam are ' suffering less than might have been expected, owing to the considerable contracts in hand for various markets. These contrazta include some rather heavy ones in T cloths for the Meditenranean, in shirting' for India and China, and in yams for the] last named markets. Spinners and manu facturers disengaged, however, are taking rather lower rake in preference to accumulating stock, and consequently prices are somewhat irregular. Indian jacconett are de pressed.

B.—The trade of this town is quiet, but is nevertheless rather better than it was a week ago, a few more country orders having been given out, by the help of which most of the manufacturers have kept their workpeople on at their usual time. Others who were short of orders have been making up goods for stock ; that has not, however, been done ou a very exten sive scale, not more than would be cleared by a very slight reaction in trade, which is yen confidently ex• pected early in the new year. The artisans here who have been most affected by the dulness which has pervaded trade of late have been those who are supplied with work at their own homes by the huge manufacturers ; the latter, being hard pressed to keep their own men on, have little work to give out of door ; the result is that many of those who are dependant' for employment in that way have not been making more than three or four days this week ; but taking the ape gate of skilled labour in the town these are exoeptional and not prevailing cases, and although trade hero has been what is considered dull for several weeks, labour has not yet felt the consequences of it except to a very slight extent. The manufacturing trades of the adjoining districts are rather more active than thine of this town, but the iron trade of South hteffordshirs continues wretchedly dulL CORN.--Ciimaitmon, D.

The demand f o r barley has fallen off considerably, and there was only a Mo. dente show. Scarcely auy lots of either malting or griuil• ing changed hands. Oats moved off slowly, and ware slightly easier to purchase. Beans and peas were both a trifle cheaper. The price of flour in this district has under gone no material change. WUIBICH, Dec.

White aorta changed hands at 645. to 68.. ; red, 58s. to 635. per 36 stone. The inquiry for barley was fair, and the show being scarcely sufficient to meet the demand, the extreme rates of Lot week were readily obtained for all good aorta.

For foreign of prime quality there has been an improved de. mind, at about 3d. per barrel below last flatur&y's rate,. Barley has realised full prices, and oats have found buyers at an advance of WI. to 3d. per barrel.

COLLISIONS AND Loee OF LIFE. —Two serious ac cidents, involving loss of life and the sinking of two vessels, were reported at Lloyd's. One happened off Grimsby on Thursday, when the brig Lark, Captain Grimsby, was run into in Grimsby roads by the Russian screw steamer Kieff, from Cronstadt. Two of the crew perished ; the captain and rest of the crew were picked up after much difficulty. The other accident was to the schooner Jane and Mary, on hallway from Cardiff to Liverpool, when she was run into by the schooner Mary Edward Jenkins, and so great was the force that the schooner Jane and Mary filled and went down in two or three minutes, Captain Hughes, one man and a boy perishing. FRENCH CONSULAR CHARGES.—A correspimilence has been published between Messrs. Scott, manufacturers, and Mr. Cobden, relative to French consular fees, in which the latter states that the French commis are authorised to charge Si., or 4s. for a consular certificate of origin, and 2e. legalisation fee by an English magistrate. It appears that , the use of the term ' authorised" has given rise to some misconception. It has been understood to imply that the consuls nay charge or not, whereas they have to account for all such fees to their own government, and if they did not charge would have to pay the amount out of their own pockets. Previous to the Ist Nov. the charges were 10s. for each, so that under the treaty the fee has been lowered by 6e. in the one case and Ba. in the other. The fees will probably be totally abolished so soon as commercial treaties with other countries shall have put au end to the tempts. OM of smuggling their products into France as goods of English origin.
