We have authority for contradicting the statement as far as the metropolitan police are concerned. The persons referred to were probably in the service of a gentleman w: Ito recently applied to the Home Secretary for a detective to be scut down from Scotland-yard to explore a theory whic - 11 he ha's conceived in reference to this extra ordinary. case . The application *as, hOwever, refused.

Fine barley and oats commanded extreme currencies, but other kinds of produce were a slow sale. Scarcely any change has taken place in the vilue of pro duce in the French markets. Both wheat and flour have ruled easier in America, owing to a falling off in the export demand. Up to our market last weak the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad were 46,464 quarters of wheat, 27,847 barley, 34,896 oats, 250 beans, 7,191 peas, 3,700 tares, 14 862 linseed, 14,181 rape seed, 50 sundry seeds, and 65,972 barrels of flour. The supply-of English wheat, fresh up t, this morning's market was very small, but the condition of the samples, generally speaking, was good. The trade, however, both for red and white qualities was by no means active; never theless, the trade must be considered firm, at the decline in the quotations noticed on Monday last. There was a large show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands. Compared with this day se'nnight, no quotable change took place in the currencies, but we must remark that there was a decidedly increased amount of business transacted in nearly all descriptions. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate extent, and prices were fairly maintained, In the barley trade less firmness was observed, and a dec'ine of is per qr. was submitted to in order to effect sales. This reduction applies more particularly to malting qualities. In malt very little was doing, on former terms. Oats commanded a fair sale, and the currencies were steadily supported. The supply on offer was only moderate. With beans we were tolerably well supplied, and all descriptions moved off slowly, at about previous rates. Peas were in limited supply and fair request, at late currencies. The flour trade was firm as regards prices, wich were well supported. Sales, howevei-, progressed slowly.

There was a snanty supply of foreign stock here, to-day, and the demand for it ruled somewhat active, at enhanced quotations. The quality of the foreign sheep was very good. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were limited in number, but in prime condition. Those from Scotland were seasonably good—from Ireland only moderate. All breeds were in good request, at an advance in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per Blbs, at which a clearance was easily effected. The best Scots and crosses sold at from 48 to 5s per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,800 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland 330 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 130 oxen and heifers. We were again scantily supplied with sheep ; but, for the most part, they were in improved co n diti on . All b ree d s were in good request, at quite 2d per 81bs more y. The best Downs and half-breds realised 5s 6d per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was limited—moved off freely, at fully Thursday's advance in the quotations. The best calves sold at 5s 8d per 81bs. Some small porkers moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise, the pork trade Ns as in a sluggish state. The top figure was 4s 10d per 81bs. Per 81b. to sink the offal.

All good and prime qualities, consequently, move off somewhat freely, at extreme rates ; otherwise, the trade is in a sluggish state, at about late currencies. The show of foreign potatoes is much restricted. Scotch Regents 100 s. to 150 s. per ton.

Since our last report a fair business has been transacted in most kinds of home-grown wool, and prices have been well supported. In colonial and foreign qualities very little has been passing, on former terms. Last week's imports were 2,338 bales from Algoa Bay and Port Natal, and 480 from the Cape. SEEDS. The trade is dull, and, in some instances, prices hav9 TEE WINDHAM CASE. This morning, the Master anl Jury resumed the in quiry at the Sessions-house, Westminster. The Master informed the counsel on either side that he adhered to his intention of not allowing Mr. Windham to be examined in public, as he believed such a course would defeat the ends of justice. He had looked carefully into the authorities, and had the high authority of the late Lord Campbell for the determination at which he had arrived. No comments on the Master's decision was made by counsel, Sir Hu - 2,h Cairns being absent. The Rev. Edward Beecher of Beavan was called and ex amined by Mr. Milward, who said this was the last witness to be called of a general nature. The only remaining evi dence would be medical. Mr. Beavan said he was at pre sent the curate of Shipton Beauchamps, Somerset. Mr. Windham was introduced to him at the beginning of 1858. He had heard that Lord Alfred Hervey wished to engage a travelling tutor for a short time for Mr. Windham. Ha had several interviews with Lord Alfred Hervey, and it was at first proposed that they should go abrcad. All the passports were obtained, but when they were on the eve of starting Lady Sophia Giubelei preferred that they should travel in the United Kingdom. They first went into North Wales, thence to the lake district, thence to Scotland, re turning through Durham and York to London. They were travelling for a month, and then passed a week with Mr. Windham at Felbrigg, when he finally left. 'I hey went out several times together. On the whole Mr. Windham was certainly of sound mind. Nis manner was on some occasirns blustering and boisterous. _ _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—He thought people who witnessed his conduct noticed it, but never complained. I did not appear to be offended at it. He was fond of boast. in; of his peat wealth, and making much of himself, chiefly to people of a lower class, waiters, servants, and others. He did not believe that Mr. Windham's capacities were below par, but that his :pparent intellectual condition was attributable to defective education. By a Juryman—He thought that these proceedings would have a good effect upon Mr. Windham. A vast number of letters on all sorts of subjects written by Mr. Windham to various persons were rend, to show the consistency and coherence of his thoughts and his mental soundness. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices of Appeals.) APPEAL—J - upGmENT.—.M 4 LARTY V. MIDDLETON. This was an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T, Kindersley, on his chief clerk's certificate, declaring that the bills drawn by Bland and Middleton, in Liverpool, on M‘Larty, Middleton and Company, of Gibraltar, at three months, which was equal to ready money, and remittances made by M'Larty, Middleton, and Company, to Bland and Company, were in satisfaction of the mortgage debt (D,362, and other sums mentioned in the certificate) on the ships Rosiana and Shumiack, the property of the Liverpool com pany, who became bankrupt in 1856. Lord Justice Turner, on considering the facts of the case and the evidence produced, came to the same conclusion as the Vice-Chancellor, and was of opinion that the order of the Vice-Chancellor was right and ought not to be disturbed. Lord Justice Knight Bruce was of a contrary opinion, and considered that it was competent to prove that value was not given for the bills drawn, and wished to hear coun sel on that point, but as his learned brother Lord Justice Turner was of the samo opinion es Vice• Chancellor Kin dersley, their opinions must be the decision of the court. Their lordships affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor, and dismissed tha appeal without costs. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) JUDGMENT-IN RE TONGUE'S ESTATE-NICHOLSON V. TONGUE. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—This i 3 a. summons from Chambers, and the question to bo deter mined is to whom a considerable amount (L 1,172 Ils. 4d.) of gold and silver coins, which were found in the house of Sarah Tongue at the time of her death, belonged—whether it belonged to her estate or the estate of Mary Rogers, with whom she lived for many years before her death. I con sider on the evidence that the accumulation was part of the estate of Sarah Tongue. The question I have to determine is, to find whether the spirit of hoarding was greater in Sarah Tongue or Mary Rogers. _ _ His Honour was of opinion that the balance of evidence was in favour of Sarah Tongue. She had gifts given her from time to time of considerable sums, and she possessed the means of hoarding if she desired it, and the money was found in her house, and it was presumed to belong to her. The onus probands lay on the next of kin of Mary Rogers to prove that it belonged to her, which they have failed to do. His Honour declared the money found to belong to the estate of Sarah Tongue, and ordered £32 to be paid for the furniture with costs to Mr. Nicholson up to the time of his death, but no costs in the suit to either p rty. POLICE INTE'LLIGENCE.—(77tis Day.) MARLBORO UGH-STREET. A PAWNBROKER COUPLIMENTED.—Two lads named George and John Lyle, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Mr. Philip Fry, pawnbroker, of 2, Crown -street, Soho, said on Saturday evening the prisoners came into his shop and offered 7 cigar oases for sale. Seeing they were quite new he asked them where they got them from, and the pri soner George said they had won them at a raffle in Somei s town that evening. Not believing their statement, he said he should detain them till they gave a better account of how they became possessed of them. The prisoner John then said he was not going to bounce them out of them, and on his saying he would send for the police, John said, " Give us three back and you can keep the others," and on his telling them that he did not do business in that way, George said to his brother " Then we will step it ;" but he gave them into custody. The prisoners now said they picked the cigar cases up in Regent-street. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho had no doubt the cases had been taken from some cigar shop, and he should therefore remand the prisoners for a week. The pawnbroker, it was only pro per for him to say, had done very well in the matter. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL " RUN" OF THE AMERI CAN BLOCKADE.—Another evidence of the insufficiency of the Federal blockade of the Southern American ports, is afforded by the arrival at Bristol, yesterday, of a vessel called the Robert Bruce, Captain Muir, which has BUC ceeded, in company with another vessel of still larger ton • nage than her own, in running the blockade at Wilming ton. The Robert Bruce has brought home a cargo of spirits of turpentine, which is of course of great value to her owner. Her captain states that they got out without molestation. It is believed that some representation on the matter will be made to her Majesty's Government in the course of a day or two, as there can be no question that a blockade, in order to entitle it to the respect of neutral Powers, must be effective. At the Court of Bankruptcy, on Saturday, a meeting was held under the 185th section of the Bankruptcy Act, 1861, in the case of Mr. Peter Morrison, and a resolu tion was come to under the 110th section suspending the proceedings in bankruptcy, and adjourning the meeting un til Ist February, when the resolution will be submitted to the general body of creditors for confirmation. RAILWAY POINTSMEN.—The directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, among various im provements in the management of the line now in course of being effected, have determined on a reduction of the daily duty of the men whu have charge of the points, and a no tice with that object in view was issued last week. The important service intrusted to these men will be more effi ciently performed under these new regulations, and the concession will be highly appreciated during the present severe weather. • SHERIFFS' COURT.—CROOK V. FULLER. The amount recoverei against the plaintiff, and costs, in the above case, which was heard last Friday, should have been £6l ss. (not £6lB, as appeared in The Sun). Mr. Crook sued for £49 195., part of the £6l 65., abandoning the difference to enable him to try his right under the City Small Debts Act, which extends to any sum not exceeding £5O. _ . -- GOOD SERVICE PENSIONS.—The five good service pensions of £lOO each, vacant by recent deaths, and the appointment of officers to regimental colonelcies, have been distributel among the following officers :—Major-General W. B. Ingilby, Royal Artillery; Major-General J. H. Bain brigge, late Fort-Major at Guernsey ; Colonel the Earl of Longford, K.C.B ; Colonel E. R.

Speculation is remarkably quiet. Even the publication of the weights for the Chester Cup has not, so tar, found any employment for the metallics. The general opinion is in favour of the handicap ; but offers on the field take so wide a range it would be folly to quote them. There is oc casionally a transaction booked on the Derby and Two Thousand, and any advance upon the odds on the favourites would find customers, An Gffer was made to take 9to 2 against Old Calabar, and six and a half fifties were booked about The Marquis for the latter event. The Waterloo Cup exhibits little change. The books have nearly all been had upon the favourites, and very few outsiders are touched upon, Closing prices : TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES. 9to 2 agst Old Calabar (wanted) 13 to 2 agst The Marquis (taken) 10 to 1 bar two (offered) 25 to 1 agst Tolurno (taken) THE DERBY. 1000 to 45 agst Caterer (taken) 200 to 9 asst Ace of Clubs (offered) 25 to 1 agst Typee colt (offered) 40 to 1 agst Argonaut (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Master Fenton (taken) GREAT WATERLOO CUE. 100 to 7 agst Mr. Campboll's Nomination (offered) 100 to 6 agst Mr. Gibson's „ (taken and off) 100 to 6 agst Mr. Spinks's „ (taken and off) 20 to 1 agst Lord Sefton's „ (offered) 25 to 1 agst Mr. Cloudesdale's „ (offered) 25 to 1 agst Mr. Bake's „ (offered) 33 to 1 agat Mr. Randall's „ (taken and off) 33 to 1 agst Lord Lurgan's „ (taken and off) 40 to 1 agat Mr. Stoker's „ (taken) IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES. LYTHAM, Jan. 18. —Yesterday morning, during a gale of wind anal thick fog, the schooner Chance, of Preston, struck on the Horsebank. In consequence of the wind and sea increas ing her crew, consisting of only two men, failed entirely to get her off. To save their lives they took to their own boat, which fortunately safely brought them to Lytham. As soon as the alarm was given, the lifeboat of the Na tional Lifeboat Institution was launched, and taking the shipwrecked men with them, her crew Soon reached the wreck. After considerable labour and difficulty the lifeboat crew succeeded in getting off the vessel; and as the tide rose, she was luckily brought safely into port by the next tide. The Lytham lifeboat has, during the last few years, been the means of saving the following shipwrecked crews : —Brought the schooner E. D., of Salcombe, and her crew of five men, into port; saved six men from the brigantine Robert and Henry, of Dundalk ; seven men from the bri gantine Hannah Jane, of London ; nine men from the bri gantine Nancy, of Teignmouth ; saved the fiat Turner, of Preston, and her crew of four hands. DUNDALK, Jan. 17.—Last night the schooner Rook, of Liverpool, struck, during a heavy south-easterly gale, on Dundalk bar. The lifeboat of the National Life boat Institution immediately launched and proceeded to her assistance. She found the schooner thumping heavily on the sands. As soon as a communication had been formed between the lifeboat and the schooner, two of the lifeboat crew jumped on board. Renewed exertions was thereupon made to save the vessel, which fortunately were successful, and she was got off the banks, and piloted safely into port. The surf rolled very heavily on the basks, and in the ab sence of the valuable services of the National Institution's lifeboat, the probability is that, by next morning, a fearful scene would have been witnessed on these dangerous sands, by the destruction of the vessel, and the drowning of her unhappy crew. A WEALTHY EMIGRANT. --A singular case has ' just occurred, w hi c h is so suspicious that it may lead to the detect i o n of s ome of the numerous jewelry robberies. A man named Butcher, on board the Gananoque, which ar rived at Auckland on the 18th of October from London, was charged with attempting to smuggle arms and gun powder; and the Customs' authorities, on further search ing Mr. Butcher's boxes, discovered that he had an im- Imense stock of gold watches, diamond rings, and other ar of jewelry of great value. The police commissioneo has decided upon having a photograph of Butcher taken and sent to the metropolitan police, as it might turn out that he was known by another name in London to the de tective officers. There have been several extensive robbe ries of jewelry in England recently, and it is just possible that this will prove the means of recovering the stolen pro perty.— Australian and New Zealand Gazette. DESPATCH OF MAILS.—The British and North American Royal Mail steamer Africa was despatched from Liverpool for New York oa Saturday. She took out the mails for British North America, United States, Bahamas, and Havana. The next mail despatch to America from Liverpool will be on Wednesday by the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's steame r Cit y of Balti more, Two men were examined before the magistrates at Liverpool on Wednesday, on a charge of stealing a large quantity of red wheat and Indian corn from the American ship Underwriter. It appears that there was as mu c h as 466 bushels missing in the whole cargo, and the chief mate, together a with Li ver pool man named Hobson, were charg e d with i stealing 'it. 29 sacks were found in Hobson's house, and his defence was that the corn was the sweepings of the vessel, w hich he had bought. The mate's def ence was that the sweepings were his perquisites. Both prisoners were sent for trial. A cco rding to the new trea ty entered into 113 tw • Sp a in and MoroccJ, th e S pan i s h troops are t o be withdrawn from Tetuun and the Moorish territory when the payment of three millions of douros (sfr. 25c. each) shall have been made; the remaining ten millions to be secured by one - half the Customs' revenue of the empire being placed at the disposal of the Queen of Spain, who will appoint commissioners to receive them.

TEE BLO: KING-UP OF CHARLLS2ON. -----o--_-- The !lows , rc Jou denca has passed bet.wcca you:fie' At,,ociatien and the LIN e Foreign "Shij Association, Liverpool, Jan.l3. "My Lord—lt has come to the knowledge of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, through the public prints, that the Federal Government of the United States have sunk a stone squadron in the main channel of Charleston harbour. This pro ceeding cannot fail seriously and permanently to injure the entrance to that harbour. The AsFocia tion fears that, unless strong representations end remonstrances arc promptly made, a similar course may be immediately followed in the case of the odaer harbours of the Confederate States. The Assecia tion does not think it necessary to dwell at length on the impertanco of this question, as affecting the general interests of commerce, but feels called upon as representing an important interest, to address your Lordship on the subject. I am, therefore, in structed by the usLociation respectfully to press this matter on your lordship's earnest cousider•x -tion.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most ol•edient humble servant, " FRANCIS A. CLINT, C11E14E115,11. " To the Right Hon. Earl Russell, Foreigu-office, London." " Foreign-office, San. 15. " Sir,—l am directed by Earl Russell to acknow ledge the receipt of the letter on behalf of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, you addresed to him on the 13th inst., calling his attention to the course which the Federal Government of the United States have adopted for closing the main channel of Charleston harbour by sinking there vessels laden with stone, and expressing the fear of the Associa tion that unless strong representations and remon strances are promptly made a similar course may he immediately followed in the case of the other harbours of the Confederate States. I am to re quest that you will state to the Liverpool Ship owners' Association that the attention of her Ma jesty's Government was at once attracted by the rumours which obtained currency some weeks ago of such a course as that to which you refer being contemplated by the Government of the United States, and on the 20th of December her Majesty's Minister at Washington was informed of the view of it by her Majesty's Government. Lord Lyons was told that such a cruel plan would seem to imply despair of the restoration of the Union, the pro fessed object of the war—for it never could be the wish of the United States' Government to destroy cities from which their own country was to derive a portion of its riches and prosperity. Such a plan could only be adopted as a measure of revenge and irremediable injury against an enemy. Lord Lyons was further told that even as a schema of embit tered and sanguinary war such a measure would not,be justifiable. It would be a plot against the commerce of all maritime nations, and against the free intercourse of the Southern States of America with the civilised world. Lord Lyons was desired to speak in this sense to Mr. Seward, who, it was hoped, would disavow the illegal project. Now, however, that the project teems to have been car ried into effect at Charleston, Lord Lyons will be instructed to make a further representation to Mr. Seward, with a view to prevent similar acts of de struction in other ports.—l am, sir, your most obe dient servant, E. HAMMOND. F. A. Clint, Esq., &c." LITERATURE. Forest Three Vols. Hunt and Blackett. This is a tale of singular originality, and great ingenuity is shown in its construction. The scene is laid five hundred years ago, in the martial days ,f the Black Prince. It is not, strictly speaking, an historical romance, since the vctors in the story are fictitious characters, although the hero of Cressy and Poitiers is introduced, and some stirring scenes of the French campsign are described with anima tion and spirit. Prominent among these is the battle of Poitiers itself, with the capture of King John and his son. The tale, however, is quite cha racteristic of the times—wild adventure, desperate crimes, and resolute daring distinguishing both knights and dames. The extreme complication of the plot is more like an Italian romance than a legend of our own land, while the reader will not fail to admire the skill with which the various threads of the entangled skeins are by degrees un ravelled and woven together, joining in one the mysteries of France, Spain, and several parts of England. The care and painstaking exactitude of the author is also evinced by the precision with which he clears up every little obscurity which may have perplexed the reader in the earlier pages, although it may have afterwards been forgotten. It would be difficult, indeed, for the most expe rienced novel-reader to divine the hidden secrets of e plot or to conjecture the dark deeds of Sir Ralph de Sulac, the villain of the piece, and his remorseful accomplice, Inez di Gava. The author is evidently familiar with many of those poets and writers whose spirit-stirring songs have invested the middle ages with such potent attractions for the young and imaginative. He is acquainted, too, with the scenery described, for we are told in the preface that "the tourist through Western Somerset may yet recognise in a narrow meadow by the wind ing Exe the crumbling walls of Bralynch Abbey, and trace the ruins of the Reformer's Chapel in a deep gorge by the seashore, about a mile to the west of Minehead Point." The Castle of Redstun, which owned such an unworthy ruler in the days when the Lady Beatrice was carried there captive, still stands, it is said, in feudal dignity; and in the Vale of Argellez, near the Pyrenees, are the old. towers of the stately keep, which witnessed Wil fred's incarceration, his narrow escape from death in many ghtuitly forms, and the murder of his mother by her own sister's hands. The writer's mistake is in introducing reflections or remarks in the style of the present day. In the story itself a degree of unity is preserved, but when the author steps in and alludes to the events of our own times and adopts the easy modern tone, the illusion is destroyed, which, in a work of historical character, it is so important to preserve. A novelist who se lects for his subject the scenes and characters of a bygone age, should study to preserve his consistency throughout. He should depend entirely on the story itself and its on accessories to interest the reader, but never make the transition from the manners of one age to and doesfor the notw readeralay always s r t n passage w he hen with him, it pleases the author to pass again into the world of dreams. There is a degree of diffuseness also which might be advantageously curtailed, and which is un worthy of an author who has so much to say, and should not, therefore, condescend to the resources of less ingenious writers. It is the more desirable that these defects may be avoided, as the author pos sesses undeniable ability, and will probably, with time and experience, produce works of a higher character. We must not omit to mention that seve ral ballads are scattered through the volumes which possess considerable merit. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING.
