g r c• hei u rv, t o f dal , 9013, MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The half-yearly meeting of the African Steam ship Company will take place on the 17th inst. Very little alteration occurred this afternoon in the foreign exchanges, but the tendency was firm, bills on several places being more offered. Some quantity of Mexican dollars brought by the Adeline from Matamoras has been sold for shipment to China by the outgoing mail at 62i. per ounce, and the market still appears extremely firm. There has been an increased demand during the last fortnight for the debentures of the Grand Tr unk Railway of Canada, and the rise has made further progress to-day. A more hopeful impres sion seems to be arising with regard to the future prospects of this undertaking. It is proposed to hold a public meeting at the Inndon Tavern on Wednesday next, Dec. 10, for t he Purpose of expressing sympathy with the efforts which are being made by the Greek people to regenerate their country and to establish a firm con stitution. Mr. R. W. Crawford, M P., will pre side. At a special mee ti ng o f th e El ec t r ic and Inter national Tel egrap h C ompany h e ld t o -d a y, th e H o n. Robert Grimston in the chair, the directors were elliPowered to raise £150,000 additional capital to enabl e them to extend their operations, and also to consolidate all outstanding shares into ordinary stock. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The inquirie s for discount accommodation at 'auk of En g land is very limited, the principal Portion of the current supply of bills being nego tiated in the open market, although full rates are generally demanded. Gold is now a b out 2.loths per cent, cheaper i n Lon don than in Paris, but about 3-10ths per cent. usarer here than in Hamburg. T he Oneida h as arr i ve d f rom th e B raz il s w ith 0,15 0 in specie. The following are the particulars of the specie to be t a k en out by the Ripon, which leaves to taorrow with the India and China mails—viz. : Alezandra, gold, £21,275; Ceylon, do., £5,000; Madras, do., £3,430 ; do., silver, £19,950 ; Cal cutta, do., £105,100 ; Singapore, gold, £6,000; t 1 , 0•1 silv er , £27 ,4 7 5 ; Hong Kong, do., £37,140 ; ' l ° o Chow, do., £6,822 ; Shanghai, £31,922 ; total, £261,114. Two O'CLOCK. There has been an entire absence of fluctuation in the Market for Public Securities to-day, and only every small amount of business has been tran sacted, except in connection with the settlement of the account, which has been in active progress. Consols remain at 923 3, less the dividend, for 4 oney, and at 921 for the January account, Upon t he whole, however, a little more firmness is ap- Nein, and a limited number of purchases would ti ° doubt produce renewed buoyancy. The N ew , Pel*Cents. and the Reduced are 92 3; India 5 per Coat. Loan is 1071 1; Exchequer Bills are flat at lo s . t() 14s. p The rem. be en transactions in the Foreign Market have be en ° f 4 limited character, while prices have shown a downwardip movement.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings con tinued very restricted, and prices underwent very little change of importance.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVANING, DECEMBER '3, 1862. LA AY. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. SEYMOUR V. BrTTERWORTII-LIBEL. This morning, on the resumption of the cross-examination, Mr. Seymour said he complained that the examination into his conduct by the benchers was taken after dinner by few benchers, varying in their attendance. On one occasion there were only seven benchers present, not enough he understood to forst a quorum, and he waived his objections, but the substantial part of the matter had by that time been disposed of. There was a short-hand writer present, and the evidence was sent to him in print day by day with one ex • ception. The sentence was read to him in Parliament chambers privately, only benchers being present. When it was read he said he was a young man under forty years of age, that great injustice had been done to his character and motives, and that he hoped to live long enough to retrieve both. He thanked the benchers for having pronounced as they did with regard to the three principal charges, but he did not thank them for not publishing the evidence. Be fore the publication of the libel there had been leading ar ticles in the newspapers. lie believed that all the docu. ments had previously appeared in the Imes, and been the subject of leading articles in that journal. There were three leading articles in the Times about him, close upon one another, in February. In 1858 he took the benefit of the Private Arrangement Act to relieve himself from his Ha • bilities. He was opposed by one ereditor. Re-examined by Mr. Lush—His debts were mainly for balance of debts which he had taken upon himself for a company of which ho was unfortunately chairman. His liabilities in connection with that company were £40,000. He paid £20,000, but the remainder brought him down at last. That was the company in reference to which he was examined by the Benchers. One creditor opposed. His debt was £5OO. The Chief Justice—What was his name Witness—Parker. By Mr. Lush—That was not a debt in connection with that company, but with another proposed company. He was not aware that there was any vacancy in the Recorder ship when he gave his assent to the Foreign Enlistment Bill. When he spoke on the committal of the bill he had received no promise of the Recordership. It had been offered to Mr. Atherton, now Attorney-General, and re fused. Baron Watson and Mr. Atherton promised to sup port his claims, There never was at any time an under standing that his vote was to be influenced by the Recor• dership. It was not so influenced. This was the case. Mr. Lush summed up the evidence and commented upon he fact that no explanation had been given of the reason for writing this abominable libel, or as to the author of it, who had sheltered himself under the respectable name of the publisher of this journal. Talk of garotting, it bore no comparison with such abominable slanders. He ridiculed the idea that Mr. Seymour, by using his Parliamentary in fluence to advance himself in his profession, was entitled to be called a black sheep. If such men were black sheep he should like to know where they would find a white one. Sergeant Shee addressed the jury for the defendant. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE STIFF. _ . This bankrupt was formerly connected with the .htorning Chronicle newspaper, the London Journal, and other perio dicals, and now came up for his order of discharge. Mr, Linklater appeared for the assignees, Mr. Lawrance for the creditors, and Mr. C. E. Lewis for the bankrupt. Mr. Joseph Hart (of the firm of Hart Brothers and Hayles), who had been appointed by the Court to prepare the accounts and report thereon, was in attendance. Mr. Graham, the official assignee, was proceeding to read the report. Mr. Linklater said that the report was very voluminous, and he would not himself consider that it was necessary that it should be read. There was at ffrst a strong feeling that the bankrupt's expenses had exceeded the proper boundary, but the assignees, considering the sanguine tem peravaent of the bankrupt and the nature of the transactions, had no opposition to offer, and he believed that the only creditor who formerly opposed, through Mr. Lawrence, did not now object. The bankrupt had been before the court nine months, which was sufficient punishment. His Honour (who had not heard the case originally, it having been before Mr. Commissioner Evans, resigned) asked Mr. Linklater whether the consent of the assignees was the result of their candid opinions ? _ _ Mr. Linklater said that one was a creditor for £lO,OOO, and there had been a very short inquiry into all the facts of the case. Mr. Lawrance said he represented creditors to a large amount, who did not now offer any opposition. Mr. Lewis—Then, under these circumstances, my duty is very short. His Honour then granted an immediate order of dis charge. The court was crowded by persons anxious to hear the result, as, from the nature of the examination, a strong opposition was expected. SHERIFFS' COLTRT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) routTox V. TELL. This was an action to recover fora quantity of spirits sold and delivered to the defendant. Upon seeing the particulars of the plaintiff's claim, his Honour said, " Not one of these items could be recovered if the defendant were to object." Plaintiff—Why not, your Honour. His Honour—The Tippling Act will apply hero. Plaintiff—Oh, no. Under the Chancellor of the Exche quer's new act we can sell spirits to be consumed elsewhere by single bottles. His Honour—ls that so. Mr. Buchanan—l. believe the act known as Mr. Glad stone's act does not altogether repeal the Tippling Act, but publicans can now sell single bottles of spirits not to be consumed on the premises. His Honour expressed a wish to see the act, and Mr. Beard sent for it, when his Honour found that publicans' licenses under the new act were governed and protected by it " so far only as relates to spirituous liquors sold to be consumed elsewhere than on the premises, and delivered at the residence of the purchaser thereof in quantities not less at one time than a reputed quart." Mr. Buchanan—That appears to have been marked to prevent the spirits being consumed on the premises. His Honour—lf these words are to be literally construed the spirits must be actually delivered at the residence of the purchaser. I should think that when the Act is interpreted it will be found that it should be as "or delivered at the residence of the purchaser." You see it is not sufficient by the literal interpretation of the clause for the spirits to be consumed elsewhere, but they must be actually delivered at the residence of the purchasers. The word " or" clearly should be substituted for the conjunction " and." A verdict had been delivered for plaintiff, as no one was present on def en d an t' s b e h alf to ra i se an y objecti on t o th e claim, but no doubt on a future occasion this important question will be well ventilated.

During expressed a desire to g the day Mr. Higgs waited on him in one of the cells of the Blackburn police office. Hartley then made a confession of all the cir cumstances of the tragedy. He entered into full de tails of the various acts of brutality that were inflicted upon the old woman by M'Phail and his fellows, and showed that her death had been one of extreme suffering. He also named the person by whom the fatal blow was struck and the suffocation produced, explain ing that the old woman was thus treated because she per sistently refused to tell them where her money was secreted. Hartley also told Mr. Higgs what amount of money they had found in the house, and how that money had been divided amonst the murderers. Some other facts of great importance to the police were also given to the Superin tendent, which will enable the authorities to support the evidence of Hartley, who will be allowed to turn ap prover, he, it is believed, not having inflicted the fatal blow. The police are now actively engaged in collecting evidence necessary to support the statement of " Chorley Tom" (Bowling). It is stated that it will show that Wil liam Woods, joiner, one of the prisoners, took no part in the planning or carrying out of the burglary or murder, that ho was working at Burnley at the time, and that on his return to Blackburn at the end of the week in which the murder was committed, he joined his brother George and the rest of the prisoners. He will be charged as an accessory after 1 l tla the fact ; and not Hartley, as stated i n yesterday's report.

BOW-STREET. THE LATE CASE OP STABBING IN THE LYCEUM THEATRE. —Graham Bartlett, who was remanded from the Court last Wednesday, was again brought up, but remanded for ano • thor week, in consequence of the injured man not being able to attend. CRARGE OF GAROTTING.—Richard Webb was placed at the bar charged with robbery with violence. The complainant, an invalided soldier, said he was pass ing through the Green-park last night about half-past 9, when he was accosted by the prisoner, who asked him for relief, Complainant told him he could not give him any thing. He was seized then violently from behind by some other person, and his pockets rifled of all his money, amount ing to 18s. On recovering from the attack he went home, and the next morning he went into Westminster, and from his previous knowledge of one of the prisoners he thought he should find him spending the money in a public-house. In this he stated he was not disappointed, and seeing the pri soner he at once gave him into custody for the offence. The prisoner said the complainant was altogether mis taken in him. He was not near the Green-park last night at half-past nine, and he could prove it if time were given him. Mr. Henry said he would give the prisoner an opportunity of disproving the charge, and ho was then put back in order that the necessary witnesses might be in attendance. FORGERY EY ♦ SERTANT.—Francisca Levy, a domestic servant, was placed at thi bar charged with feloniously uttering a forged cheque for £l2. The prisoner, it was alleged, obtained the possession of Mr. Standley's cheque-book, from which she abstracted one of the forms, filled it up for £l2 payable to " self," and having signed it with the name of " J. Standley," she took it to a tradesman in the neighbourhood and obtained the amount. The forgery was, of course, discovered when the cheque was sent to the banker's. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBER/AT FORTNUM AND MASON'S, AND RECEIVING. — . William Shillcock, porter, in the employ of the above firm, was charged with stealing a bag of currants, a bag of sugar, &c., and Richard Porter, who gave the address, Dark Arches, Adeiphi, was charged with receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. Charles Butcher, 137 C, said—Yesterday evening I was in South Bruton-mews, and saw Shillcock drive up with a horse and van belonging to Messrs. Fortnum and Mason. Shillcock waited a few minutes, and was then joined by Porter. They both then went into a public-house and came out, and then Shillcock got into the van and put two large bags on to the footboard, and Porter took from his pocket a wrapper and handed it to Shillcock, who tied the bags in it, and Porter left with them. I then went after Porter, and said, " Dick, 1 think you have got something wrong there ;" and he replied, "Butcher, I am only the messenger." I handed him over to a constable, and then went back to Shillcock, and told him I was a police-officer, and should take him into custody for stealing some pro perty from the van. He replied, "If anything is gone the man must have stolen it." I then took him to the station. The bags contained sugar and currants. Mr. Oakley, of Fortnum and Mason's, identified the goods, and said Shillcock had been in the employ of the firm two years. In answer to Mr. Knox, the last witness said that the parcels must have been abstracted from the warehouse, as they had no address on them. Mr. Knox committed both prisoners for trial. IMPORTANT TO PUBLISHERS—UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF COPIES OF "FuN."-Arthur Medley was charged be- fore Mr. Knox with being in unlawful possession of several copies of Fun. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, prose cuted, and said he appeared on behalf of Messrs. M'Lean and Urquhart, the proprietors of a periodicarcalled Fun. From his instructions it appeared that the printing of the periodical began on Saturdays, and the publication to the trade, with the exception of Messrs. Smith and Son and Mr. Collins, took place on Wednesday; but it was disco vered that the prisoner was in the habit of selling the periodical on Tuesdays, a circumstance most prejudicial to the other members of trade. The prisoner had once before been cautioned by Mr. M'Lean ; but yesterday, on his being again found selling Fun, he was given into custody. Mr. M 'Lean said that the periodical was printed by Messrs. Taylor and Greening. No other person than Messrs. Smith and Sons and Mr. Collins were supplied on Tuesdays, and the copies which prisoner had in his posses sion yesterday were never supplied to these persons, as all of them had a private mark. The prisoner was formerly in the employ of the printers, and yesterday week he cau tioned him as to selling the periodical on Tuesdays, as they must have been stolen, and asked him to tell him who he had bought them off, and he refused to do so, notwithstand ing that he told him that ho would reward him if he did so. Jeffrey, 49 C, said the prisoner was given into his custody yesterday in the Regent Circus. He found several copies of Fun in his possession, and on asking him where he got them from, he said he bought them in Shoe•lane of a man who did not keep a shop, but lived at Westminster. Mr. KIWI remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER, SINGULAR MODE OT OBTAINING A LlVlNG.—George Smith, an able-bodied young man, was placed at the bar, charged with the following singular offence : Quartermaster-Sergeant Brydon of the Royal Artillery, said that during the last eighteen months the prisoner had given the authorities at the War-office a great deal of trouble. Mr. Paynter—You know the prisoner well. Sergeant Brydon—l do, but not as George Smith. Mr. Paynter—He has passed then by other names. Sergeant Brydon—l knew him by the names of Isaac) hart and John Cooper, in which he has been convicted. He was twice charged at Canterbury and sent to prison for falsely representing himself to be a deserter, and in June last he was then committed from Woolwich for the same offence. By ➢ir. Paynter—He gave himself up on each of those occasions to the military, stating that he was a deserter. His statement was believed, and he was maintained in the guardroom until it was discovered that there was not a word of truth in it. Mr. Paynter—His last offence was committed in Loidon. I find by reference to the deserter's book of this court, that en the 17th October the prisoner gave himself up to William Maxwell, a private in the Coldstream Guards, in the street, as a deserter from the 9th Brigade of the Royal Artillery. He was brought here, and having repeated that he was a deserter, was committed to the House of Detention until claimed by the military authorities. Sergeant Brydon—lt was ascertained that he was the same person who had, under other names, during the last fifteen months falsely represented himself to be a deserter. He was liberated by an order from the Secretary at War yesterday, and is now brought here for punishment. Mr. Paynter—Was he ever in the Royal Artillery? . . Sergeant Brydon—He was nciver in the army at all to the best of my belief. When convicted at Woolwich he repre sented that he belonged to my brigade, which 1 positively disproved. Mr. Paynter—He has put the military to some expense, I suppose ? Sergeant Brydon—His keep and the expenses ho has put us to amount to nearly £5O. Mr. Poynter (to the prisoner)—What have you to say ? Do you still declare yourself to lie a deserter ? Prisoner—No, I am not a soldier at all. Mr. Paynter—You are committed for three months to hard labour in the House of Correction. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. A very small supply of English wheat was on sale here to-day, and tho whole of the samples changed hands, at previous quotations. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was large. In nearly all descriptions sales progressed slowly, neverthe less, prices were fairly supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. Good and fine barley ruled firm, at extreme rates; but inferior qualities met a dull inquiry. The supply on offer was very moderate. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates Oats --the supply of which was tolerably extensive— moved off slowly, at Monday's currency. Beans and peas were in limited supply, and steady re quest, at full prices. The flour trade was steady, and the quotations wore sup ported. ARRIVALS THIS WVEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

POETRY.—The following extract, from a letter from one of the eastern counties, illustrates the state of things prevailing in some of those rural parishes which are pointed to by sentimental eulogists of the Establish ment :-46 is a rectory of £9OO per annum. Th e rector, who has been here forty years, has always been no toriously inefficient and careless about everything but his tithes. His late curate was like himself; consequently the state of things in the church has been very miserable. The building is in a wretched state. There is no day-school : till about a year ago thero was no Sunday-school : for eight or nine years there was no singing in the parish church : in fact, 1:900 per annum produced just two miserable ser vices on tilq Sunday,"—Lacratpr, 100 100 100 100 100 2). 24 12.3 2.4.9 1k 5.15.6 28.9. 2.0.6 '2.10.8 B 341 5 46 1061 i 12k f 1017, i IG6I 6 all all all all all RITI ES. si 1 9 T.JS.

MANCIIESTEU, Tuesday.—This market and the Liver pool cotton market have both regained much of what they lost between last Tuesday and the end of the week. The manufacturers of this district have taken what may be re garded, in comparison with the production, a fair amount of twist and weft, from 60's downward ; and the agents for Scotland have also been moderate purchasers of mule yarns, from 40's to 60's, and up as high as 80's ; and, in the case of all these, there has been more or less of a recovery of price. The Levant merchants have done something in coarse numbers, say from 24's:dowzward ; and they hem) found more of stiffness among goners. For China descriptions of water and mock wet*, eft- , :Jiave been made; but, like offers for India mule, th • ' 'to 'have led to no transac tions. Twofolds in,gen, Amer, in some kinds rather dearer ; but the. Weil ,: i are of small amount. In single and double above 100's there is no noticeable change. Manufacturers have endeavoured, as far as they could, to move along with the yarns they use, but they lag behind. The holders of Eastern shirtings, especially of the heavier sorts. find so little inquiry that it would be bootless to add a fraction to the quotations. There has been some return of demand to-day for certain kinds of printing cloths, bleaching and dyeing fabrics, jacconets, T cloths, partly for home consumption, and partly for shipment to the Levant, and to some of the eastern and western markets of South America ; and pretty generally the bias of prices is in favour of sellers. I Thee Afta lgterly been a tendency to an increase of demand, of a miscellaneous character, and evi dently "nanmption at home and abroad. Buyers are en , . . by the extreme smallness of stocks and pro ductMit •by' •the considerable fall of prices from the ex tretae heikhtlo' which they had nominally risen, some time ago, under the influence of sanguine speculation ; but all bona fide buyers are easily alarmed 'and made to pause, even as to small and necessary operations, by the slightest un favourable appearances, and hence the continual oscillations we have in the market. The fall in the price of cotton to the spinner, and of yarn to the manufacturer, bears such a proportion to the decline in the prices of their finished articles, respectively, as to place the producers in a position not near so ruinous or dangerous as that which they occupied a few months ago ; and, as the increase of demand has enabled some of them to take orders for a few weeks forward, there are in stances of a return to full work from short time or no time. In other cases this resumption of production is ventured upon without the preliminary of orders actually received, and entirely from an increase of confidence in the future. It is obvious, however, that this process can go only a very little way without being arrested by a consequent rise in the price of the manufacturers' and the spinners' raw materials. The increase of work is, in fact, very trifling, and it is less in spinning than in weaving. Many, who see an apparent advantage in it, are deterred from its adoption by the certainty that a comparatively small addition to the use of raw cotton, would immediately run up its price so high as again to place the article quite out of reach, and shut up the mills once more. HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.—The market this morning has again been very flat. No buyers from a distance have been reported. The business done has almost entirely been in the hands of local merchants, and small district buyers, who have been dating transactions forward to January 1, 1863. Their Purchases have been mis,plianenp.. Aid n.t very extensive, and have been chiefly confined to medium good. Very little doing in the " jobbing" line. During the week, business has been very quiet in the warehouses, London and other wholesale houses purchasing very warily even of lots offered to them at considerable reductions to clear out." Several representatives of merchant houses here, who have been in London and the larger towns since last market, complain loudly of th e unusual difficulty they experience in effecting sales to any considerable amount, notwithstanding the firm, and in many cases, advanced rates which are being obtained for wools at the current sales. Unions seem to be selling somewhat more freely, although no advance, however slight, seems to be conceded by the purchaser. LEEDS, Tuesday—ln the Coloured Hall to-day, few tweeds changed hands, but the parcels were comparatively of an unimportant character; and even the samples of spring goods, in light fabrics, that were shown only com manded an indifferent degree of attention. Stocks, how ever, are not heavy. In the White Hall, only a few par• eels of mediums passed during the period of business. The clothiers are now getting into fair employment, in prepara tion for spring, and the operatives are generally in good work. There is no material alteration in demand for flaxen yarns, and prices are described as being exceptionally some what easier. _ A HIGHLY RATED PARISH.—The poor rate for the old parish of Weymouth has amounted on an Erre rage of 14 years to no less than 7s. in the pound.

RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.—THE STEAMER HERo.—This fine steamer has at length eluded the vigi lance of the blockading squadron,and safely got to sea from Charleston. When last heard from she had had 1,500 bales of cotton on board, and was waiting for a favourable opportunity to run out, she having then made three unsuc cessful attempts to do so, each time narrowly escaping cap ture. She is a fine steamer of 1,000 tons, owned in Hull, and commanded by Captain Peat. Her destination,we be lieve, is Liverpool. The steamer Herald, Captain Coxetter, had arrived at Charleston previous to the Hero sailing. This steamer left Bermuda on the 2Gth October, with a valuable cargo, and the present is the fifth time she has succeeded in running the blockade. The steamer Mimho, that ran ashore on Sullivan's Island while attempting to get into Charleston, was sold on the 3d ult. for 6,000 dole. each.—Liverpool Post. arrogant supposed THE ESTABLISHED AND DISSENTING CLERGY.— The clergy of Folkestone have again been displaying their bigotry and bad breeding, by leaving the mayor's break fast table because a Dissenting minister was ap e pointed to ask a blessing on the feast.
