He eras referred to Mr. Her. *Dore, mid be said he would be happy to trust him 50,000 i. without a shill* of security. He never came afterwards sod said Smith was tottering. Never came and gars him • friendly motion. Never beard that Streathelde thanes& tithe with Draper, in a commerehd sense, amounted to 31.0001., and they had acoommodated them to the extent of upward. of 400,000 1 . He should call that " bolstering." They held bills of Barbie and Waring to the amount of 5,0001. They were discounted for Lureoa. Mortimer., and Co. It was not the custom for respectable people, cos. taxers, to offer to a beak bills of pesos' who were known to be Insolvent. If they did so it would be • custom more " honoured in the breach than the observance." Mr. Laurence examined by Mr. Linklater Did your house prop up Draper 1-1 don't know what you mean by the term. Did you not advance him loans to enable him to meet his eseragementel—Certainly we did. Did you use Draper for your accommodation at any time Yes. Do you find by the account produced that In December, 1857, you had overdrawn Draper 2,4e21. ?-It could not be except in anticipation of goods coming forward. I think you will find in every month in 1858, with two exceptions, that acoount was overdrawn?—You are quite mistaken. Mr. Hart will point it out to you.—On the 31st Decem ber, 1857, bills were drawn. but only for one day. Does it happen that on the 31st December, 1858, the account was overdrawn 1,5881.1 Take Mr. Laurence, Mr. Hart, through the year 1858, and we shall see the account month by mouth. Was it true your purchases for Draper for three years and a half amounted to 31,5991. or there aboute—Yes. . -- leinekitheee figures not to be controverted, the put• chum wise to that amount!—Yes. And k it true you received Draper's acceptances for 458,0001.1—Ter. Witness said tbev had waisted Draper in 1858 and 1880, but believed him aiwaye to be solvent. He believed Draper would have bad to stop if they had not helped km. That was hie present impreesioe ; but he did not believe so at the the.. They agreed to take 15e. in the pound from Draper. The debb yen shoat 170,0001. and the sakes 129,0001. It was agreed DIV' should go ou, the stipulation being that it should be kept "quiet." On the 23rd of June they retired from the Bank of England Draper's acceptances to the amount of 4,6361. At that time he was indebted to the Qty Beek in a loan of 10,0001. That was not repaid. He soak declared he did not know why he made the alterations in the bM-book. The You must hays bad some reason. The witness, in answer to repeated question; persisted that he bad no object or motive in making the alterations. ' Be had beard Mr. Marshall's examination. He did not think be had frequently said the words Mr. Marshall had Mated, that there was leather at the bottom of the bills. He was uot aware that he we. asked the nature of the bills he took for discount. A few may have asked him. He thought A lexander's did some two or three years ago. He hardly knew who they asked about. He thoht it was about Herbert Smith and Smith and Patient. These were the two names. Mr. George Alexander asked about the bills. It was in 1857, after the panic. Before the panic he used lie eassedown and insist upon having bills. He opened • diesuut amount with the London Dnommt Company in M. The manager or auhrummer called as them, and he Nil it was a question of rote. ho conversation took place th• nature of the bills to be discounted. The London Ur mall Company no doubt would ammo they would have bale of tanners for hides and leather. They were con tinually sending for bills. He believed they now held bills of J. Herbert Smith, and Smith, Patient, and Smith. The manager of the London Discount Company told him they liked bills for 7001. better than 1,0001. for small amounts. A eorrespaodenee was read. In one letter the manager of the London Discount Company said " that to-day he had • teaspoon for him" (Laurence). Mr. Lammas—What is a teaspoon ! Witmer-5,0001. (Laughter.) Mr. Taarranos—And a tablespoon? Witeees-10,000/. Mr. Lawrence—And a gravy-epoos? Witmer-18,01a. (Laughter.) Mr. Lisklater—And a ladle Witness -I don't lmow. We had ladle. formerly. (Re- i sewed laughter.) Witmer said when be discounted the bills with the Los. don Discount Company be believed they would be provided for. He was aware that if be did sot meet the bills discounted with them Mundy would not be able to do ee. It he had contemplated a superior he should have bees in a different position, but he Inver contemplated any thing of the sort, and thought they had enough to meet everything. He never understood their inability to meet their bills until the suspension. Mr. Limane said the female branches of his family were suffering greatly. The Commusaiorier-7t is impossible not to feel fur them. Mr. Loki/star—There are a great many other sufferers basideikthein. /Ir. Laurence, who was deeply affected, said he had fur. nished Mr. Lawrence with a Instory of the house from 1806, sad its Ave and progress. He no doubt would take same time in relieving hint from the imputations which bad been thrown out.

Finals( was also indicted in the calendar for stealing a boat, sails, and chain, of the nano of 201., one gold watch, of the value of 101., and the eras of 81. 10a. of the gold and silver coin of the realm. Hardy also stood indicted for unlawfully and fe loniously wounding Johis *helm, on board the said schooner, with an iron bar, Whh intent felosionely and of her malice aforethoeght .to kill and anerder the said John Baladon. Mr. Cole appeared for the The Flown was a schooner of 98 tons hen and in the month of Jane last sailed from Plymouth to London. The cargo having to.. discharged a fresh one was taken, and she left for Newport in July. The two =ad another man named la'Kessie, were shipped d i m, and all went on well till the night of the 19th of that month, when the schooner was at em on the Devon ▪ is erect, about 10 piles foam Heavy Head, near Dart mouth. The mew comilated Of the two primate, three other men, ad the master . At 9 o'clock the captaia was on dock keeping his watch, and Hardy was at the wheel. The latter said he was miry cold, and as he um whitest his coat the captain told him to go and got it and he (the eaptain) would take the wheel till he returned. Hardy went below for • short time, and then returned to his post on deck, the captain resuming hie watch. As be vas walking up and down, ha madded, heard a noise from sad vu Muck dews by • heavy blow upon the hod by liadr, who lad a plies of iron known as • "nor mals," and which is used in eneleg the she. The prisoner then went away, calling to the crew, "Now's year time ; beds down." 'The captain got ap again as soon se be could, euitectarered to his cabin, where he aroused his son, an in gent little boy of 11, and the mate. He then armed himself with a loaded gun, and told the mats to take some pistols to defend himself with, or elm he would be murdered. The mate, however, did not do so, but said be would go up to the men and see if he could pacify them, which he ac ' tordingly did. The result of his good 'Meatless was that the mutinous crew seized upon him, and lashed him to the rigging. To show the violence that was used, as the master waa retreating down the companion, • marlin spike was throws after him with such force that its point stuck into the wood of the steps. Atter confining the mate they went below, and were going into the cap. tain's cabin when he threatened to shoot the first ' man who came in. They demanded his money, and threatened If it was not given them, to turn the Flowpie bead towards the French coast, and desert ; so that the cop Min, the mate, and the little boy, would be drowned. Th• as p- Min refused to accede to their demands for some tiros, bat at length threw the sum of 71. 10s., partly in gold, and partly in silver. They said that was not enough, and insisted upon having the freight money (3001.), which they believed was on board, but the captain, when to London, had deposited it at the baoker's. When it was known that this sum was Dot in the captain's possession, Hardy and McKsasie used very bad language, and swore that they never would have gone abroad if they had knows the money was not there. They next demanded the ouster's gold watch, which be fold them he could not give them, as it was his wife's, and he valued it although it was not an axpansive one. How ever, they managed to extort this also, and they fastened the master down in his cabin, and after placing some arti cles in the ship's boat they pulled off. The captain con trived to hulk out of hie place of confinement and get on deck, and the mate being unlashed they turned the schooner round, and managed to get her into Brixham„ where the captain's wounds were properly dressed, and information given to the police. The jury found the prisoners Gritty, but recommended the boy Finning to mercy. Harding was also indicted for cutting and wounding Oitptain Belsdon, but by the direction of his lordship he was Acquitted on this count. The learned Judge, in sentencing Hardy, said he never heard of a more daring act of piracy than this, and the sen tence was that he be kept in iLioaal servitude for the natural tarns of his life ; Finning for three years. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —YoRic, Die. 20. (Delon )llr. Jostles Hill.) AiTIMPTIED MUM= Mit LEEDS. John Hirstiverhy, 25, was 'barged with cutting and wounding, with a hatchet and knife, Stephen Lupton, with intent to murder him, at New Wortley, year Leeds, on the Bth of October lag ; there was • count in the indictment charging the prisoner with wounding the prosecutor with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The circumstances of this use were of a most atrocious and brutal character, and it lea matter of surprise that the prosecutor did not lose his life at the hands of the prisoner. The prosecutor is a grocer and provision dealer, carrying on Wetness at his premises situated at the corner of Oldforth street and Croseatreet, New Wortley, near Leeds. He is a young man, unmarried, and lived alone in his house. Two days in the week, on Fridays and Seturdays, he employed a Airwoman to clean the various rooms of the house, and the person who performed this kind of work for him was the wife el the prisoner. On the evening of the 6th of October last the prisoner went to the prosecutor's house to see his wife. He knocked at the door, was admitted, and had some conversetioe with her, and then went away. Upon this occasion the prosecutor observed the prisoner, and noticed the dress be was wearing, seeing particularly a black band around his hat, and was enabled to identify hint. About 5 o'clock in the morning of the Bth October the pro mentor wee awakened by a loud knocking at the door of his house, and be ooneequently got out of bed and opened the window to emertain who was there and what was required. He saw tbs prisoner, whom he observed was wearing • hat with • black band. The prroaer said that be wasted some miter oil, stating &bathe bad been to another shop and could not procure any. The promentor partially dressed himself and came down stairs, and admitted the prisoner into a small room of the hollow A candle having been lighted the prosecutor asked the prisoner if he had brought • bottle for the castor oil, and he replied in the aMnnative, inquiring what quantity the bottle would hold. Having been served with it, he asked for various other articles, and the prose cutor was about to reckon up what amount there would be to pay, when he felt • sudden and violent blow saran the crow's of his head, and fell down upon the floor. He attempted to rise, when he received a second blow upon the head; but not being rendered insensible, the prosecutor was enabled to seize hold of the prisoner, who was thus attackingltim. A severe struggle ensued between them, the candle having been knocked down and the light extinguished at the commencement of the conflict. The prosecutor at length became exhausted, and was unable to defend himself further. Luring the straggle the prose cutor cried out " murder," "help," and also called for Mn. Bonier, who lived next door, to come to his amistance. When he thus cried out, the prisoner placed his hood over his mouth, and endeavoured to stills his arise, when be bit the prisoner's thumb and finger severely. The presenter heard the prisoner run up stain to his bedroom, and from the noise he made it was evidnin that he was ransacking the apartment . The prosecutor arawied upon his hands Lod knees, and succeeded in reaching the frost door, which he endeavoured to oper, but was unable from weaknces to accomplish his object He, however, contrived to make his way through • trap door into the cellar, and eventually got into the street. Mn. Homer had been aroused by the noise, and had partially dressed herself and gone to the front door of the house of Kr. Lupton to see what was the matter, and to render allLupton, the malt! awe in her power. She observed the prisoner in the act of leaving the house. He made off, and was not seen any more at that time. Five wounds were found upon the prose cutor's bead, extending from two to three inches in length. There was a compound fracture of the skull, the bone was partly ant through, and one of the ears was severely cut. Frora the nature of the injuries it was clear that some sharp instrument had been used. The prosecutor, in addition to the wounds upon his head , complained of a pain in his beak, and on being examined to ascer tain the cause of this pain • deep stab was discovered, and the bone of the vertebra: , was laid bare. Under neath the chair in the small room wee found a hatchet, marked with blood, and hairs were adhering to it of the same colour as on the prosecutor's head. This weapon be longed to the prisoner. When the room upstairs in which the prisoner had been was examined, it was discovered that almcrA everythinghad been turned upside down, the drawers ransacked, and their contente scattered upon the oce, but nothing had been stolen. The prisoner wee taken into custody at his house in Campbell-street about seven o'clock in the morning. He was then dressed in • different meaner to what he was when at the prosecutor's house. He was in his shirt sleeve* nursing • child, and had on a pair of fustian trousers and • plaid waistcoat. The house was searched byMr. English, the chief constable of Leeds, and • bloody towel was found. The fireplace was examined, and on the hearth ewe was • quantity of sabre, having the appeanaoe of the remains of burnt linen or calico, and these ashes were preserved V sait lt English. The house of the prisoner's mother at Royda was also searched, and between the mattress and the bed was found a fustian jacket, which bad marks of blood upon it ; and this jacket was shown to have been made for the prisoner by a tailor at Wakefield of the acme of Paget. At eight o'clock in the morning the prisoner wee taken to the police-station, and in the room where he was for • short time was picked up • knife with a bent and bloody Nadia close to the spot where he had been standing. Upon hie thumb there was a wound, the appearance of which m asted that it bad been produced bye bite ; the only inte nse, that could be drawn being that the Mil:au h a d been inflicted by the prosecutor in the straggt. The prisoner was taken to the prosecutor's house, andb r ought into Mr. Lupton's rose's, when he immedietely identified the pri soner, and he was also sworn to by lire. Horner. The motive was supposed to be robbery. The jury were absent for a short time, and then returned • verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. IPlliass BirkVaud wan brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, upon the cha of utrint • forged cheque for 141., with i ntent to defraud Unity Joint Start Bank. The facts were fully given upon the last examination. The cheque in question purported to be drawn by Mr. Frederick Fletcher, a fish salesman, in Billingsgate-market, but on it being presented by a man at the counter the clerk doubted the genuineness of the signature, and the party was requested to accompany some one connected with the eats. Wshment to Mr. Fletcher's, to see if it was all right. The prisoner was waiting outside, and he inquired what was the matter, and attempted to snatch the cheque from the clerk's hand, and in so doing tore out the middle of the cheque, but the signature was retained, and turned out to be a forgery. The prisoner was committed for trial. GUILDHALL. - - George Barenwroft: describing himself u a bottler waaher, was charged with the following robbery. Mr. H as Wood appeared for the defence. Watkins and M'Lead, a couple of City officers, said they met the primer in Broad-street carrying a hamper, and asked him what it eontained, and whither he was carrying it. Hs did not give a satisfactory aooocnt of it, and they therefore took hum into custody, and found in the hamper a large bottle of spirits of wine, and another containing iodide of potassium ; and among the straw WON some labels indicating the house the hamper bad come from. Xeres. Warner and Barclay, manufacturing chemists, of Fore-erect, said the prisoner was occasionally employed them to wash bottles, and the property produced to them.

THE RECENT EXTENSIVE FORGERIES IN LIVERPOOL. At the Liverpool Assizes, yesterday, Richard Woodward Powell, a partner in the firm of Scott, Powell, and Co., tea brokers, of Liverpool, was indicted upon three counts for forgery ; fist, of a guarantee for the pay ment of 5,0001., and also of three bills of earbscps, with intent to defraud, knowing the same to be forg e The facts of the case were these : In May lest, Scutt, Powell, and Co., ordered from Messrs. Absolom, Crocker, and Town send, tea merchants, of London, • large supply of teas. Some unwillingness being manifested by the London firm to despatch the goods union they bad a guarantee for pay ment—previous transactions with Scott, Powell, and Co. having been rather uneetlsfactory in this respect—a letter of guarantee, alleged to be signed by John Scott, senior, the father of Scott of the firm, was given to Messrs. Absolom and Co., and on this the teas were supplied, bills in the usual form being accepted by the former firm for the amount of their value. Some of the bills became due in August, and not being honoured Scott, Powell, and Co. wore pressed fur payment. A second gua rantee was then proposed, but Mr. Scott, jnnr., declared that his lather having already given oos document of this kind would not give • second, and it was subsequently arranged that Scott, Powell, and Co.'s bills, indorsed by Mr. Scott. seer., should be accepted. The bills were ac c°l y drawn up—one for 462/. Ifie. 2d., another for 48411 1 ., and • third for 4821. Is. rid. They were written by Powell in tleo presence of his partner, Mt. Scott, and of Mr. Absolom, the Manchester representative of Absolom, Cracker, andTowaseed, and after an interval of some hours, dories which it was stated they had been sent to Mr. Scott, sear., for his signature, they were handed over to Mr. Absa lom. These bills, when due, _were dishonoured, and on ap plication being made to Mr. Scott, sans., he not only denied having ever indorsed them, but also denied having ever signed a guarantee fur 5,000 L The po lice were then communicated with, and though Scott, juor., could nut he found, Powell was arrested just as he was on the point of leaving Liverpool, with • large quantity of luggage, several new suits of clothes, 1001. in gold, and a case of revolvers. For the de fence, Mr. Beets, Q.C., conteuded that looking at the cam as proved by the prosecution, there was no evidence to satisfy the jury that the prisoner was the man who com mitted the forgery. Hie department had been that of the ordinary correspondence, while Scott attended to all the more important truism:tier. of the firm. The jury found the prisoner guilty of uttering a forged document knowing it to be forged, but reeouunended him to mercy on the ground that they believed he had been infiuenmal by his partner, Scott, who had absconded. His lordship, in sum ming up, said that notwithstanding the recommendation made by the jury, of which the prisoner should have every benefit, be would not be justified in passing a more moderate seutence than that the prisoner be kept in penal servitude for seven years. MARKET& COTTON.—Llssaroor., I 20.—The sales d tattoo ho-day are estimated at 20,000 hales. The market domes firmly at the fall quotatioas el yesterday. WOOL AND WOILSTED.--Bsanronn, Die. 20--As usual at Christine. tune the wool market is in a very in active state. Some staplers, indeed, report a rather Un proved inquiry over last week ; but if there is any, it does sot miter the tone of the market. There are still very few buyers, and little wool has changed hands. The currency of several weeks beck is firmly maiutaiued, bright-hatred ' wools, for which, of course, there is most demand, being specially firm. The stocks on baud for the time of the year are not an average. Noels and broken are firm, and are taken up as produced. There is so new feature of import lace to notice in the worsted yarn department, either as to demand or price. The export Louses are doing little business, causing a great degree of caution on the part of spinners. Home manufacturers are making a few per chase for the new year. The yarns which are usually in demand at this season by the Gomm Loyalcs for unmake tare into goods for America are not required. We hear that there is a slightly improved inquiry amen the makers of goods for China for yarns suited to that breach. There is • very thin attendance of merchants in the piece market. A few Germans are about, but are not buying much. They are expected to more freely after Napoleon's speech on the Ist proximo. Extreme caution amongst the Americans is still manifest, nod just at the time of stook-taking buyers generally keep from ifuliftiag, and purchase only what they require. Notwithstanding all this, a degree of cheer fulness prevails, and better hopes are entertained front the favourable change in the weather.
