CITY, Two O'CLOCK The accounts from the manufacturing districts during the past week aro of a more cheerful na ture, although the improvement is only of a partial character. At Manchester prices of both yarns and cloths have shown an upward tendency, and the woollen trade at Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield, has exhibited symptoms of improve ment, chiefly, however, in the inquiries for spring goods suitable to home requirements. The hosiery and lace trades, at Leicester and Nottingham, have continued dull; but in the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolver hampton, there has been a recovery, owing to the receipt of orders to supply the requirements of the home markets. A fair amount of business took place in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were very firm. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. Although various joint stock undertakings are being introduced and a large aggregate amount of capital is being subscribed, the available resources of the money market continue superabundant, and the rates still range y to I per cent. below the minimum at the Bank of England. A further sum of £BO,OOO in gold was added to the stock of bullion at the Bank of England on Saturday. The Shannon, which left to-day for the West Indies, conveyed £3,900 in gold.

The directors recommend that a sum of 6 ,803 7s. 3d. be added to the reserve fund, bring ing it up to £78,000 ; and that a dividend be de clared at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, leaving £931 17s. sd, to be carried for- Ward to the next account.

The condition of the parcels, however, was bad. For dry parcels there was a slow demand, and the rates current on Monday last were barely supported, but damp qualities were very dull, and could only be disposed of by submitting to a decline of is per quarter compared with this day se'nnight. A considerable portion of the supply was left unsold at the close of business. A full average suFply of foreign wheat was on sale. All good and fine qualtities, notwithstanding that the inquiry for them was far from active, were held at prices about equal to those realised on Monday last. Inferior parcels moved off heavily, an is per quarter less money than on that day. • Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, yet no quotable change took place in their value, compared with Monday last. Malting barley, of good and fine quality, was in demand, at quite previous currencies, otherwise, the barley trade ruled inactive, on former terms. The show of samples of English was very moderate. In malt a limited business was transacted, at our quota tions. Thero was an increased supply of foreign oats on sale, and the oat trade was in a sluggish state, at barely sta tionary prices. Bean; were in fair supply and heavy request, at a de. dine in their value of is per quarter. Peas, though in very moderate supply, met a slow sale, on former terms. The flour trade Was dull. Country marks were rather cheaper, but American qualities were quite 6d. per barrel lower than on Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The sheep appeared in prime condition. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, as well as from Scotland, was moderate in number, and the quality of most breeds was prime, especially of the Scots, short-horns, and crosses. Notwithstanding th a t th e beef trade was by no means active, prices were, in some instances, 2d. per Blbs. higher than on this day se'nnight. A few Scots and crosses realised 4s 6d, but time more gene ral top figure was 4s 4d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,900 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 480 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 120 oxen and heifers. The show of Down sheep was limited, an d t h e demand for them ruled tolerably active, on rather higher terms. Prime old breeds, in the wool, sold at quite 5s 6d per 81bs. Otherwise, the mutton trade was steady, at full prices: buil clipped sheep were somewhat d fficult of sale, at from Bd. to 10d. per 81bs. beneath those in the wool. ?.14.6 3.0.0 7.7.0 56 178 6.15. n 5.12 4.14 1.12.1; 4.3.0 2 12.3 2.0.0 2.2.9 lk 10.6.7 5.11.61 all 18.14.9, 2719,1 13s f3cl 61 7 21 3} 35 37 2 2 42 14 10 id ipm 4 i Si 31 4 lf 21 7 6 40 42 315 :'25 3 95 165 29 31 1f If 9j 101 121 131 40 12 270 280 974 1024 65 70 11 if 11 12 15 16 17 18 Down lambs were in steady request, at fully late rates ; but for Dorsets and Isle of Wights, the inquiry was in active.

The Liverpool Spring Cup fell to the French party by the aid of Arcadia, which must make Ducat's chance for the Spring handicaps look rosy. Costa has greatly im proved since last year, and will do a good thing some of these days. On the first appearance of the weights for the Grand National there was a general rush upon The Dane, who, according to the form displayed last year, was con sidered to be "turned loose," and the public " madly rush ing on," he was instantly installed first favourite. Then came into prominent notice the French pair, Tippler , nd Huntsman, between whom for a brief space public affection was divided. Then Thomastown (the hope of the Irish division), Brunette, and last year's winner, Jealousy. But so auspicious were the early movements respecting the latter mare, or, rather, to the initiated, was it so pal pable that there was "something wrong," that, as long ago as the 10th of February, we drew public attention ta the "dodge" in our Tattersall's report. The defeat of The Dane at Lincoln caused him to resign the premiership to Huntsman, who had previously superseded his stable companion, Tippler, in the market; and although The Dane rallied sufficiently to be quoted second favourite, he "went" to any price by the close of the following week, at which period Playman, Harry, Anatis, and Bridegroom found their way into the quota tions—(Anatis, it should be added, was a great "pot," and backed at a short price before the weights came out 1) — whilst Jealousy was still on the "dodge," and Brunette, in spite of a certain large outlay, " under suspicion." Thus matters stood up to the day before the meet ing, when The Dane " came again" most mys teriously, and, although not mentioned at Tatter sall's on Monday afternoon, as little as 20 to 1 was taken in the City, and four points less at Manchester, whilst on ar riving at Liverpool, on Monday night, I found he had been ix the market there also, one well-known bookmaker haying had a commission to take 2,000 to 100 about him I He was struck out, however, at six o'clock in the evening by his owner, Captain Christie, The Huntsman, by the easy manner in which he defeated the Jealousy and Romeo fraternity, showed that the Frenchmen had made no mis take. A certain degree of odium will ever attach to the Jea lousy party for their "working" of that mare, who was left in to the last ; but there were other horses struck out whose owners acted with just as little faith to the public. The meetings to be held this week are Coventry and Warwick, the former being fixed for Monday, while War wick follows on the three succeeding days. Mr. Merry's bill of fare extends to twenty items, seven being set for decision on the first day, seven for the second, and six for the third, five of the latter being leap races. On Tuesday.the most interesting item is the Trial Stakes, the entries and weights for which stand thus : Age st lb Age st lb 4 urAudrCosmopoliteey The Lawyer 4 8 9 1 Patriot Aurelian .. 4 8 9 Queen of Spain .. 4 7 Fabius Camerino The Sage Cosmopolite or Camerino should have no difficulty in disposing of the lot that may oppose them. The Two-yr old Stakes I award to Dirt Cheap or Livingstone. The French stable are again formidable in the Warwick Handi cap, as they have both Cosmepolite and Gouvieux engaged, and there is nothing likely to interfere with the success of one of these unless it be Prince of Denmark. My remarks a fortnight ago about The Marquis for the Two Thousand are now verified to the very letter, and he is now about as good a favourite far money as Old Calabar. A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY. Nothing was done on any of the events to come off at either Coventry or Warwick,—For the Chester Cup, Hadji Stavros was in request, but we heard no higher offer against Black Prince than 20 to 1. For the Northamptonshire Stakes, at the close, 12 to 1 was offered on the field. 100 to 6 each had been taken about Dusk and Prince Plausible ; 20 to 1 was afterwards laid, 100 to 6 was taken against Finland, and offered against Schism, but less than 20 to 1 was declined.

(Before Mr. Kerr.) LEVEY AND OTHERS Y. THOMAS.-COMPOSITORS' COMPANIONSHIPS -IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. The plaintiffs in this case are master printers, and the defendant was the "clicker" of a companionship of com positors in their employ. He was not selected by the com panionship to represent them in their dealings with the employers, but appointed by the plaintiffs as clicker, being paid 58. per week above his earnings as a compositor. The action was brought to recover certain moneys alleged to have been overpaid by the plaintiffs to the defendant, and to recover an amount paid by the plaintiffs for certain work ' alleged to have been left unfinished by the defendant. The case having been referred, the arbitrator delivered the following important judgment, read to -day by \ ir.lierr : " It is found by the arbitrator that the plaintiffs' claim arises—lst, for that defendant ' overcharged certain work pretended to have been completed by the defendant and his companions ;' 2dly, for that plaintiffs ' expended certain sums of money in the completion of certain other work left • unfinished by the defendant and his companions ;' and idly, for that ' the defendant, on behalf of himself and his com panions, misrepresented to the plaintiffs that they had per formed a certain amount of work.' The arbitrator further finds that in the books kept by the plaintiffs there is on one side debited to the companionship the sums of m oney drawn by the def e nd an t an d hi s companions, and on the other side the apportionment of the said several sums so debited among the companions, the name of each workman being separately entered along with th e sum paid to him as his share of the work." The claim of the plaintiffs, as stated to and found by the arbitratOr, is in respect of "work charged for by the de fendant in his character as clicker, and for finishing the work left by him and his companionship undone." The word "undone" seems to govern the first part of the phrase as well as the last. The plaintiffs then do not sue the de fendant as being personally liable for damages arising from his neglect of duty as a clicker, nor do they seek to recover from him monies obtained by him individually by means of representations which he knew, or ought to have known, to be incorrect. Their claim is founded exclu sively upon contract, and the defendant is sued as one of several joint contractors, and as such liable for the whole amount overpaid to the companionship of which he was one, or paid to complete work unfinished by them, but for which they had received the price. The plaintiffs, in order to recover, must, therefore, make out that the defendant and his companions were joint con tractors, but this, in my opinion, they have failed to do. Had the defendant, as clicker, charged and received a gross sum for the work alleged to be done, the companionship might probably, irrespective of his appointment by the Plaintiffs, be considered a body of joint contractors. But the arbitrator has found that the monies they have received were claimed by and paid to them individually, and so entered in the plaintiff's books, the defendant, no doubt, receiving, as clicker, the gross amount due to the companionship, but only as an agent, end in this case it is to be inferred as an agent of the plaintiffs, by whom he was appointed and paid extra for the performance of the clicker's duties. Tho plaintiffs have therefore failed to make out their case ; but as they are entitled on the arbi trator's findings to sue the defendant for his share or con tribution towards the sums overpaid by them to the com panionship, and possibly also for damages for neglect of duty; and as a verdict for the defendant here would be a bar to their recording in another action,the judgment of the Court is that the plaintiffs be nonsuited.—Nonsuited ac cordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) JUDGMENT.—IN RE SIVIER. This bankrupt was descriped as of Ryde, Isle of Wight, hotel keeper, and his Honour now gave judgment on the question of discharge. The bankrupt was opposed on the ground of rash and reckless trading, trading with fictitious capital, and omitting to keep proper books of account. The first charges were grounded on the fact that the bank rupt had given a bill of sale over the whole of his property, yet continued trading and contracting debts to the extent of £9OO, and the only property was a good debt of £l. He (his Honour) considered that this course of trading with a fictitious capital—for the bank rupt had none—when there was a bill of sale in the cupboard which might have been brought out at any moment and swept everything away—the trading was not only rash and reckless, but he could nor conceive anything more fraudulent. The official assignee `reported that the bankrupt had only given up a few books and receipts insuf ficient to verify the accounts. The bankrupt had unques tionably acted very fraudulently, but the case did not come within the last act as a misdemeanour, but the bankrupt had been guilty of fraud for which he might be indicted at Common Law, but he had no power under the act to direct a prosecution or grant costs—but if indicted and convicted he would be subjected to penal servitude—the question was what could be done with a man who had acted in the manner the bankrupt had done. His Honour would refuse to grant the discharge, and ho should do so for a considerable period. There was also a power to sentence a hankrnnt fn 19 but it was not quite clear in this case, and he would ra;h,r take that whichwas, and refuse the discharge for 12 me.iths without protection. Mr. Sargood applied for protection for 30 days to allow the bankrupt to appeal. His Honour said he would not grant any protection; he did not do so in a case of a B. A. certificate being applied for ; he only directed that it should not issue for a certain period. In this case any creditor who held judgments, and had not come in under the bankruptcy, or obtained judgment on writs issued, might take the bankrupt in execution. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--( This Day.) • BOW-STREET, ASSATTLTING A RIFLEMAN.—Two young m en name d John and Frederick Skinner, were charged with assaulting John Allen. The complainant said he was proceeding along one of the streets in the neighbourhood of the court on Saturday even. ing, when the two prisoners came up to a gentleman named Lockhart, and, after a short altercation, commenced showing fight. He tried to prevent a disturbance, when Frederick Skinner struck him in the mouth, and John Skinner also gave him a blow in the eye. Mr. Lockhart said he was acquainted with the prisoners, but, as one of them met him on Saturday in a state of in toxication, he refused to speak to him, and hence the disturbance. A young woman also confirmed the evidence as to both prisoners striking Mr. Allen. The Magistrate fined both prisoners 20s. STEALING A COAL—John Conner, an Irishman, was charged with receiving a coat well knzwing it to be stolen. Mr. Isaacs, a clothier, residing in the Strand, said the prisoner and a female came into the shop to purchase a coat. There was not one that would fit, and as they were leaving the shop he saw the woman had secreted a coat underneath her shawl. He followed them out of the shop, and saw the woman, when they arrived at Clement's-inn, take the coat from unde r h er s h aw l an d pu t i t on th e pn• Boner. They then went into a publio-house, and he (th e prosecutor) having met a constable they both went i n to take the man and woman into custody. The woman ran : The man was secured out d o e n d h o i o s r panersdone.se_aped_ !Mr. Corrie asked what he had to say to the charge ? Conner said he did not steal the coat. He had been bu three weeks from Ireland, and the woman had picked him up in the street. He was fully committed for trial. Two labouring men, named John Mansfield and John Brennan, were charged with assault. Police -constable 83 F said the prosecutor was suffering from a broken arm and some very severe internal injury. He was at present in the hospital and unable to attend. The magistrate remanded both prisoners for a week. SHAMEFUL CRUELTY. —COMMITTAL WITHOUT it. FINE. —William Chalk, a carman, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with cruelty to a horse, the proceedings being insti tuted at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Rutherford, one of the Society's officers, proved seeing the prisoner driving a miserable mare in a cart on Saturday afternoon, in the Tottenham-court-road. On removing some of the harness he found a large open wound on its backbone; the wound being 41 inches long, and having a hole in the centre. Under the collar there were five different wounds, and about the teats there was a mass of sores. The prisoner said he had brought the horse from Hertfordshire. Some of the sores were of old standing. The horse was brought to the front of the Court, and a more pitiable spectacle has seldom been seen. The little animal's back was a mas s o f corrupt i on ; an d there is doubt that, but for th e society's officer bringing the mat ter before the Court, th e pr i soner wou ld have allowed it to die in the streets. it not th e prisoner said l‘r if iT the r horse whi was destroyed fresho 14 p y r o d c a ee s and d , i ngs r would be taken aga i ns t hi m when he camefrom prison. Thomas Chalk, father of the last prisoner, was fined 55., or sev e n d a y s , f or also working his horse in an unfit state, the case being also prosecuted by the Royal Society, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE FROM A PARAPET.—Mary Allen, servant to Mr. Spencer Lam bert, a retired licensed vic tualler, of 35, Poland - stre et, was c harged before 111 r.

MARINE Swrs.DLErts.—Thomas Carly and John Hams, Foment, were charged with obtaining £9 in money, and clothes valued at £lO 10s., of Mr. Abraham Harris, outfitter, of No. 170, St. George-street, alias Ratcliffe-. highway, by means of false pretences. The prisoners arrived in the port of London a few dav9 rime in the ship Verbenia, which had made a nine months' vcy , ge, and their custom was solicited by a runner or touter in the employ of the prosecutor, who took them to his shop and they were soon rigged out in a new suit of clothes, with neckerchief, boots, new linen, and everything that was necessary to make them appear smart at the pay table. On the day the ship was paid off the prisoners did not pre-. sent themselves at the Shipping Office, and on inquiries being made it was soon ascertained that they had no wages to receive, and that they had never formed part of the ori ginal crew of the Verbenia, and were not named in the ship's articles at all. They were picked up in the western ocean, and had been shipwrecked out of another ship which was lost at sea. Mr. Solfe—So you have been defrauded of clothes and money to the amount of £2l 10s. iu all Mr. Harris. Mr. Farris—yes, sir; they represented to me they joined the ship in China at £3 17s. 6d. per month, and had a large amount of wages to receive. knew Mr. Selfe—Y ou would not have given them credit if you they had no wages to receive ? Mr. Harris—Certainly not, Evidence was given that the prisoners were arrested in Euston-square, as they were about to depart for Liverpool. The new clothes obtained from Mr. Harris were taken away in the Lemon -street station-house, and their old ones given back to them. The prisoners said Mr. Harris's runner took them to his shop, and said they might have Whatever they wanted. They would get a ship and leave their advance notes with Mr. Harris. Mr. Selfe—And he is to keep you until that time ? The prisoners —We were never brcught up to be rogues —we were never brought up to be rogues. Mr. Selfe—You have taken to it very well. It is a most dishonest proceeding. I think Mr. Harris had better put up with the loss of the money, and let these men go. He has got back the clothes. _ _ Mr. Harris said it was a hard case upon him, and the prisoners ought to bo punished. Mr. Selfe—your runner has taken these men to your shop, and you force clothes and money upon them, in expectation of a good haul, as you thought they had plenty' of money to receive. You are so anxious for business that you did not exercise common prudence. How easy was it for you to have asked the captain or any of the officers if the men had wages to receive P The Jew said he could not pay rates, taxes, and rent unless he was to push business a little. Mr. Selfe—l will not commit for trial and put the county to expense in such cases where clothes and money are put upon sailors in expectation of very large profits. Mr. Harris said he would prosecute at his own expense, and it should not cost the county a farthing. Mr. Selfe—Very well. I will keep you to your word. At present the prisoners are remanded.

This aged veteran general officer, who is of German extraction, has died possessed of property, principally consisting of railway shares i n England, in various foreign countries, and in India, combining also some Irish property. The principal recipients are his great nephews, the re sidee being left to his niece, Ellen, wife of Dr. George Robertson, staff -surgeon. ToMrs Elizabeth Campbell, wife of the Rev. W. Campbell, Connor, Ireland, some India stock is bequeathed ; and there are also legacies to his servants and a charitable be quest of £lOO to the poor of Lyndhurst. The Gene ral's patriotic feelings are singularly evinced by the following bequest :—" I wish to restore to my coun try a pOrtion of the funds I have received for nay public services, and leave to the fund for the dation of the National Debt the sum of £900." The will of C. Metcalfe Stuart Babington„ Esq., M.D., F.R.C.P., of Hertford-street, Mayfair, was proved in London under £25,000 personalty, The trustees and executors are C. Hawkins, Esq., Saville-row, and G. L. Parkin, Esq., Lincoln's-inn.

The will of Edward Cooke, Esq., barrister-at-law, county court Judge, formerly of Elm-court,Temple, and late of Taviton-street, Gordon-square, was proved in the London court on the 20th ult., by his relict, sole executrix; the personalty sworn under £B,OOO. The will was executed at Northampton in 1859, and is entirely in the testator's own hand writing. It is exceedingly brief, and disposes of the whole of his property to his relict absolutely. A Turin letter of the llth, in the Constitutionnel, says :—" The majority presided over by M. Lanza held a second sitting yesterday.

That pro position was, however, received with murmurs and it was only after a long discussion that the meeting succeeded in passing one drawn up as follows :—` The majority declares that it has n o con fidence in th e Ministry as it is now constituted.' Those last words, to render intro duced ntro duced by amendment, are of a nature the deliberations very protracted.

Six MEN BITRTED ALIVE.—On Friday a shock. ing accident happened en the Watchet branch of the Bris tol and Exeter Railway, by which four men have nar rowly escaped with their lives. A short distance from the junction w i t h the Bristol line, near Bishop's Lydeard, some workmen were removing a high embankment, and had somewhat u n d ermined it, when a mass of earth gave way, falling on six poor fellows, and burying them beneath.
