COMMISSION OF LUNACY-TIIIS DAY. :Before Samuel Warren, Esq., Q.C., Master in Lunacy, and a Special Jury.) SIXTEENTH DAY. This protracted case was resumed this morning, the court, as on all previous occasions, being crowded. The early part of the sitting was consumed with the cross-exa mination of Dr. James Edward Seymour, of St. George's Hospital, who on Saturday last gave his opinion in favour of the sanity of Mr. Windham. The learned doctor re mained firm in the opinion that Mr. Windham was capable of managing himself and his affairs. There are several other medical gentlemen of the same opinion awaiting examination. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the court' ry markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, yet all kinds moved off slowly, at barely stati , nary prices. Most descriptions of spring corn were held at extreme rates ; but the inquiry was re stricted to small parcels. In flour, very little was done. On the Continent of Europe wheat has changed hands slowly, at about previous currencies. The export demand for breadstuffs, in America, has become less activo. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 13,901 quarters of wheat, 3,325 barley, 8,103 oats, 20 peas, 10 tares, 1,060 linseed, 250 sundry seeds, and 720 barrels of flour, The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very moderate; but the general condition of the samples was good. For both red and white qualities, how ever, the trade was in a sluggish etate, yet very little change took place in the currencies, comparel with Monday last. The tendency of prices, we may observe, was de cidedly in favour of buyers. The show of samples of foreign wheat, ex granary, was moderately extensive, and for all descriptions the inquiry was much restricted. To effect sales of any extent, a re duction, say of about Is. per quarter, would have been ne• cessary ; but, owing to the small amount of business trans acted, the quotations were without material change from Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a limited ex tent, yet their value was fairly supported. Malting barley, being in short supply, was firm in price. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off steadily, on former terms. The malt trade was dull at about stationary prices. For oats, in consequence of the small importations, there wes a steady demand, and late rates were ;well maintained. The supply of beans was tolerably extensive, and sales could only be effected by submitting to a decline of is to 2s per quarter. _ _ Peas wore in slow request ; nevertheless, no alteration was observed in their value. In all kinds of lour sales progressed slowly at barely late quotations ; indeed, American qualities were in many in stances is per barrel lower than on this day se'ennight.

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market was tolerably good, both as number and quality. The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, was seasonably good, and for the most part of prime quality. As the attendance of buyers was by no means numerous, the beef trade was in a slug gish state, at Thursday's decline in the quotations. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised ss, but the general top figure for beef was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland, 450 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 300 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was very moderate as to number, but we observed a decided improvement in their general qua- lity. v All breeds moved oft slowly, at, in somo instances, a decline in the quotations of 2d par 81bs. The extreme price was 5s 6d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was good, sold slowly, and prices gave way 2d per Blbs. The highest quotation was 5s 4d per Sibs. We have to report a dull sale for pigs, at barely late rates. The supply was good. . Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

Since our last report rather more business has been pass ing in hops, but the demand has been mostly confined to good and fine samples. The market, generally speaking, is far from active, yet prices rule firm. Last week's imports were 633 bales from Hambro', 218 Boulogne, 20 Ostend, 111 Antwerp, 79 Harburg, and 9 bales from Rotterdam. New Mid and East Rents.. 170 s to 231 s per cwt.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. There was a lone list of cases, but of the ordinary character. THE CHARGE OF PORGERY AGAINST A SOLICITOR. A petition was presented against Henry Wells Young, the solicitor, who stands committed on a charge of forgery on the Bank of England. Mr. Denney appeared for the petitioning creditor, Mr. Edward Green, of Edward -street, Portman-square, saddler, who is a creditor for £l4O. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-(This Day.) The January session of the Central Criminal Court opened this morning, and, according to the gaol books, it appears that there are at present 46 prisoners for trial, viz., 35 men and 11 women. This number is considerably less than usual for the January session, and it partly arises trom the very small number of prisoners who have been committed to take their trial for offences committed within the county of Surrey, there being only three com mitted from that county. There is only one case of wil ful murder, which is a charge against a married woman, named Mary Anne lla , cilton, of killing her child ; but although the number of prisoners is comparatively small, some of the cases that have to be disposed of are of a very serious character. Among them is that of Mr. H. Wells Young, a solicitor, wbo previously carried on an extensive practice in Gray's Inn, who is charged upon two indict ments with forging powers of attorney for the transfer of stock to the amount of £6,000 standing in the books of the Bank of England, and thereby defrauding the Corporation of the amount. This is the same offence for which Henry Fauntleroy, the banker, suffered the extreme penalty of the law, and it remained until very recently a capital offence. The penalty that is now attached to it is penal servitude, or transportation far life, at the discretion of the Court. Another case, of a very serious character, is the charge against two men, named Pusey and Reeves, and also a woman, named Collet, of having committed a burglary in the house of a widow lady at Paddington, and having violently assaulted and wounded that lady in the course of the commission of the offence. This is a crime which was also capital until very recently, and parties convicted of it are under the present state of the law liable to be sentenced to penal servitude for life. Ano ther case of a serious character, and which is likely to occupy considerable time, is a charge against three per sons named Hunter, Gillett, and Turnbull, of stealing a large quantity of silk, the property of the St. Katherine's Dock Company. There are no fewer than twelve of the prisoners charged with uttering counterfeit coin, an offence which appears to be very much on the increase ; and it is singular that persons who once adopt this character of crime persevere in the commission of it, until, by reteated utterings and convictions, they become amenable to the charge of felony, and are sentenced to long periods of penal servitude. The judges who preside at this session are Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Baron Martin, and Mr. Justice Willes ; and the aldermen upon the rota to sit as second commissioners are Messrs. Wilson, Challis, Finnis, Rose, Gabriel, and Abbiss. POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.—(77IiB Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOPLIFTING.—Two young women, named Bridget Welch, of Star-street, Commercial-road, and Ellen Hats well, of King-street, Brick-lane, were charged with steal ing 13 yards of silk at 36, New Bond-street, the property of Mr. John Atkinson and others, silk mercers, &c. Wm. Whitta, porter to Messrs. Atkinson, of New Bond street, said he saw on Saturday the prisoners in the shop sitting on chairs near the counter, and being attended to by an assistant. The were opposite each other. Ho ob served Welch take the piece of silk produced from off the counter. It contained 13 yards, and was of the value of £3. She placed it under her mantle. Being on some steps at the time, and seeing what had occurred, he went and in formed his employer. They other prisoner had her back towards him at the time. Before Mr. Porter could charge the prisoner with taking it, she dropped it. Mrs. Elizabeth Atkinson, wife of the prosecutor, who is in partnership with Mr. Atkinson, said she showed the prisoners some shawls, and while doing so she observed the corner of the silk protruding from beneath Welch's mantle, and afterwards saw her drop it, with the remark to the other that she should not be so foolish as to knock things off the counter, and to be more careful. On going back to the counter she (Mrs. Atkinson) missed the silk. Drennen, 100 D, said—Welch said they did not steal it— it fell off the counter; and tho other said they did not steal it. They gave false addresses, and no money was found on them. Inspector Holden said he should like a remand. Mr. Mansfield said they had gone into a shot , to buy an expensive article without a shilling being found on them. The prisoners, being asked if they wished to say anything, merely said they did not steal the silk. They were then committed for t.ial. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY IN THE WHITECHAPEL-ROAD.— Robert Dunn, a well-known Spitalfields thief, who refused to give his name and address at the station• house, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a large trunk, containing a lady's wearing apparel, and other property, valued at £25. Christiana Smith, a lady residing at No. 13, Mount-place, Whitechapel-road, near the London Hospital, stated that her sister left the metropolis for the sountry on Saturday evening, and all her trunks and boxes were packed up in the afternoon and placed in the passage of the house, some distance from the door. About four o'clock, her sister, who was in the drawing-room close to the window, saw three men go down the steps of the house, and one of them carrying the large trunk, now produced. Her sister hurriedly exclaimed, " What do these men want, he has got my box." Witness hastened into the passage and found the trunk was gone. She ran into the Whitechapel•road, but could not see the man or the trunk, but on reaching the corner of the New-road, she saw the prisoner carrying the trunk with both hands in front of him. She called out "Stop thief, he has got my box." The prisoner immediately drolped the trunk and ran away. A gentleman laid hold of the prisoner, who got away again. He was pursued and secured. _ _ _ _ .....,......._. Other evidence was given. The 'prisoner said he had only been in London a month, and did not know the name of the place where he lived. A man asked hint to carry the box, and when the cry of "stop thief" was raised, he dropped it, and ran away. Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner fora week. THIS DA F'S SHIPPING.

The pacific character of the news from America on Friday (says the Army and Navy Gazette) gave the dif ferent officials at the Admiralty a little respite from the toils to which they have been subjected during the last six weeks, and afforded them an opportunity to proceed with the preparation of the different Navy Estimates for the coming session of Parliament, as up to this time very little progress has been made in the work, which in ordinary years has generally been in a much more advanced state hall it is at present, LITERATURE. White and Black. A Story of the Southern States. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is an interesting work at the present time, as it alludes to the slavery question in its extent of sad details and fearful sufferings. The story is told told with great skill, and the characters introduced ' era described so naturally, and in some instances are rendered so attractive, that the narrative is divested of the painful feelings it might otherwise have produced as to deter many from its perusal. One of the chief merits of the work in its con structive capacity is the fair account given of the Southern families. We are shown that it is the system that is wrong, not the people, and that all are trained from infancy to regard tyranny as just, and to see cruelty considered a part of the day's business, when the eager observation of childhood and the dawning intelligence of youth only behold as a system what is a sin, and watch the parents and friends whom they look up to pursuing the trade in human creatures, how can they be called callous for not thinking otherwise Constance Ann ersley was the gover ness in the family of Col. Burgoyne, at Chestnut Brook, and for a time all went smoothly. Fasci nated by the ease and grace of the refined and cultivated members of the household, she thought the tragic tales of which she had been told were exaggerated, and that slavery might exist without any very serious trouble arising. Soon the fair vision was overcast, and she awoke from her de lusion to a dark reality. Those who appeared the most polished in the drawing-roorn, the most affectionate in the family circle, when they stoed forth as masters of slaves, their whole natu re underwent a change. The manner in which Mayor conducted himself towards Jonas exhibits, in a strong manner, the evils that accrue from the slave children of the planters. Through all the various branches of the family these evils run ; thus Mayor rendered his young wife almost frantic by cruel conduct, and he had to answer for the crimes that she committed in the frenzied rage to which he had worked her. Irene, the slave daughter of Mr. Morton, is a happy idea of the miseries and misfortunes that are sown broadcast over the land where such evils abound and are called law. Here was a young girl who was reared in luxury, and taught to consider herself a lady, trained, indeed, in the worship and reverence of the great institu tion of slavery. When her father married she was sent, under the care of her governess, to visit in a distant city that lady's relations. This was thought strange by many ; but the girl herself only believed it to be the foresight of her father to provide her amusement, while he was en grossed with his new marriage. She was unde ceived in a terrible manner. Hastening home to see her father, whom she thought was forgetting her, she was seized at a station by that father's overseer, who proclaimed to the crowd around them that she was a slave, the child of a slave, and thus she was to be sold to the nearest bidder, that the jealousy of the new Mrs. Morton might not be aroused by her beauty and grace. The sub sequent perils and perplexities that the beautiful girl went through are very forcibly told, and the last sad paragraph, telling us that rumour whispered she had again been sold among a lot of slaves, points its own solemn warning that no inter vention of friends, no care of strangers, no force of persuasion, no power of fighting, ever can avail to stem the torrent that sweeps with deadly might and irresistible speed into the dark abyss. Irene's was, indeed, a sad tale; but she stands the figura tive emblem, the exemplifying instance of thou sands of her race and kind. Jonas, almost killed with cruel tortures, sold away to distant plantations, for ever taking leave of his wife and children, is another type of myriads like unto him; Clara's infant child, thrown in to make up the bargain between master and agent, is another proof, how agonising, those who know a mother's feel ings may imagine. The writer of this tale has done his utmost to show us the full significance of the beautiful lines of the poet—Cowper in his verses on " The African Slaves," "Dusky limbs, and dark complexion, Cannot alter nature's claim ; Skins may differ, but affection Dwells in White and Black the same." Again, when Eleanor Burgoyne, animated no doubt by good intentions, assembles her Sunday class to dilate to them upon their duties, one could fancy that they might reply to their teacher in this strain : _ . Is there, as you sometimes tell us, Is there One who dwells on high ? Does He bid you buy and sell us, Looking from His Throne, the sky ?'' For a further and more particular illustration of theills of the nefarious system, we need only read the passage that describes the arrival of the slave ship fraught with her human cargo. The spectacle was appalling ; and no one can wonder that, at its view, the inveterate upholder of slavery renounced his opinions and withdrew his strenuous support from the system that carried on such traffic, and; countenanced such horrors. Chauncey Burgoyne is a fine character, full of chi valrous sentiment and animated by noble im pulses. It was the theory, not the practice, he upheld, and when once he had visual demonstra tion of its excesses he turned from it, and became as eager for the abolitionists as before he had been against them. The kindness of his nature was shown in befriending the emissary of the North, Maxwell, when he was hunted down by Chauncey's own friends and neighbours. He also was called foolishly lenient to his own slaves in his domain at West Creek. It is satisfactory to know that his brightest hours were his last ; and if it is sad to think of his bride as a widow, and his life cut down in the promise and glory of its opening, still he died in a good cause, and he fell fighting for the oppressed and persecuted. He could have had no nobler death on any battle-field renowned in story, and no better inscription could be recorded for his after praise than that ho redeemed the errors of his early days by his last effort and his final struggle. It cost him his life, but it softened his past faults and crowned his memory with a glory that lived beyond tie grave. This work should be perused with attention, as it conveys in a clear manner the worst features of the slave system as it affects the general state of society. It does not exhibit any great exaggeration in its statements, but again and agaia sets forth the personal merits of those who live under the pernicious influence of such social wrongs and such evil customs. Another strong point is the expense and an noyance to which the planters are con stantly subjected in watching for sedition, capturing runaways, driving away abolitionists, the danger they incur from disaffected outcasts, and the nightly dread of an outbreak which may over whelm the family of the masters. Here human nature vindicates itself, and the oppressor is assailed in his stronghold. The perils he can confront him self in the pride of his manhood may be too much for the delicate wife and tender children who con stitute his home. A state of society which tolerates such crime, cruelty, and injustice , is a d i sgrace to a civilised land, and the chtyalry of which they boast is a sha m and a delusion. One of the first duties of the knights who made memorable the word was to assail tyrants and protect the oppressed wherever found, and those who can sympathise with re volutions that overthrew kings abroad, and encourage killing by inches in human traffic at home, are inconsistent and absurd to the last degree. —" White and Black" as a tale of the Times is a good index to refer to, and the skill and ingenuity which abound in its descriptive pages and exist in full force in its eloquent passages, combine to claim for it regard and ensure it a welcome among those whose boast is, that no slaves can touch their shores without being as free as the air they breathe. The spirit which animates the work is a good one, and thus it has a higher motive than amusement, and a better end than instruction in view, :if it makes any reader think more of those outcast and oppressed children of humanity, the much-afflicted sons of the African race. Surely thei r Maker beholds their wrongs and will one day call the ce ir persecutors to account. This attempt to evid n their sad state deserves success, and it it that its end will be gained in t he attention it meets with and the converts it may make, : e ta.od. leading trusted those who were indi ff erent to the ca u se t o widwellththe on suf e ferings magnitude of the evils, and teaching those who were ignorant of the misery to sympa thise of Slavery. Zaclkiers Now Quarterly. The initial number of Zadkiel's new sixpenny e quer Di e V o i ce of the Stars, duly made its pe on the Ist of January, in company with talipemtaarraYginazeines. The contents are of course, as any on e might have anticipated, of a very singular cha racter. They are not only singular, however, b u t they are plural into the bargain. They are more numerous and more varied than we should hate e xpected. Comp resse d within thirty-two pages there are no less than sixteen contributions. The great astrologer's preliminary address to his readers—readers now, he reminds the public, for thirty-one consecutive years—cannot fail to be perused by the m w ith some degree of curiosity. It is written in a solemn and austere tone, calculated toimpress those who are numbered among the forty thousand inquiring purchasers of Zadkail's Almanack. An " Ode to Darkness," at page 17, is subscribed by initials as mystical in every way we would premise as the awful signature of the famous Zadkiel Tao Tse himself! There are some very . curious papers in this initial number of The Vow of the btars, upon themes as attractive and yet recondite as " The Indian Zodiac and Brahman Astrology," as" Cosmogony, or the Creation of the World," as " Astrology and Spiritualism." T wo chapters of biblical criticism aro of a character cal culated to fix the attention at any season, but par- Ocularly at this season of Christmas. " The Star is the East" is the subject of one, the other having re lation to the "Eclipse of the Moon at Jerusalem at the time of the death of King Herod." There are among the other contents of the numter certain remarkable weather predictions for the three first months of the new year just commenced, by the president of the Astro-Meteorological Society—from. the last number of whose Record, just issued. (No. V.), we quote the subjoined weather predic tions for January—predictions penned by the society's secretary : JANUAItY.—As the year 1861 is likely to terminate \viat seasonable wintry weather, so will the year 1862 commence, from the stationary position of Saturn. There may be a little mitigation of the temperature ou the 4th for four or five days. The first week ends gloomy, with d.,wrifall. The triple aspcct of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn, en the 12th, will produce cold, stormy, and tempestuous winds, with snow, from the diminution of temperature about this time. The third week seasonable weather. The last week very tempestuous. Mars being no less than three times an tagonistic t , ) Herschel. Seamen are cautioned to beware, about the middle of the last wc;ek. Milder temperature at the end of the month. The prediction of the late Prince CoNsoi',T's Death—given a whole twelvemonth since in ZAD- Almanack for 1861 is certainly very astonishing. Public attention was drawn to it the other day, it may be remembered, in the police court down at the Mansion-house, by Alderman HUMPHREY. If the prediction of one day's frost made the fortune of MuRPHEY through the medium of his weather almanack—Zadkiel, if only by rea son of this distinct and positive prediction about the late lamented Prince, ought to be a millionaire.

ANOTHER FATAL PARAFFIN ACCIDENT.-0 n Fri day afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, acting for Mr. Miak ley, held an inquiry at the Gower Arms, Store-street, Bed ford-square, touching the death of Alice Grace Middleton, aged four years, who died on last Sunday evening front frightful injuries received through the ignition of paraffin oil while a lamp was being trimmed. Mr. John Middle ton, bookseller, 20, Store-street, Bedford-square, said— On the evening of the accident I was burning a paraffin lamp, which was on the table when my three children were standing. I was ignorant of the nature of paraffin oil, and I was pouring the oil into the lamp from a bottle whilo the wick was lighting, as I had sometimes done before. One of the children knocked or upset the lamp, and the oil immediately ignited, and ran over the table in sheets of flame. The deceased was only a little higher than the table, and the burning cil ran over her face and set her clothes on fire. There was over a pint of oil in the lamp, which all ran towards deceased. Her mother and I put out the flames with some difficulty, and we sent for Dr. Ri chardson, of 36, Bedford-square, who did what was possi ble to save her life. The injuries, however, were so severe, that she died from the shock to the system. The oil had Leen purchased at Mr. Creed's, Tottenham-court-road, at sd. per pint. This evidence having been corroborated, the jury returned a verdict "That deceased died from exbauq- Con consequent on burns received through the upsetting of a certain paraffin oil lamp, and that in the opinion of the jury some means ought to be taken to guard against the dangerous properties of paraffin oil by warning purchasers thereof." THE FRESCOES AT WESTMINSTER PALACE —Mr. Maclise's large mural picture of the "Meeting of Welling ton and Blucher on the field of Waterloo," upon which he has been almost exclusively engaged for the last two years, is now completed, and fixed in the place for which it wee designed in the House of Lords. It is a noble work. The two heroes constitute the centre of a large and nume rous group of figures. They are on horseback, and grasp each other's hands. The attitudes of both are finely ex pressed. Behind each the space is crowded with military forms, and with the evidences of the fierceness of the yet unfinished fight. There is young Howard—the gallan Howard immortalised by Byron in " Childe Harold"—being borne off to a soldier's grave, and there lies the Marquis of Anglesea, who lost his leg by almost the last cannon shot that was fired, when our troops were well advanced to the front. 1 here is another person especially celebrated — a wounded Highland piper, who sat on the ground and blew his pipes till he fainted from loss of blood. Near the duke are Lord Edward Somerset, who commanded the heavy cavalry brigade, and Sir Hussey Vivian, the leader of one of the hussar brigades, with Lord Sandys and the surviving officers of the duke's staff. Behind these are some of the Second Life Guards, of whom so few were left, that when the remnant was mustered towards the close of the battle, and an officer rode up asking where the regiment was, Col. Lygon replied with a sorrowful heart, pointing to the few remaining files, " These are all." Blucher is painted in a forage cap, which is perfectly correct, the old soldier was still suffering from the fall he had at Wavre, Behind him are Bulow, Gniesenau, Ziethen, and other distinguished officers, and a staff; and again, behind these is the Prussian band that played " God save the King," which, on the other side, was received with a British cheer. The whole spirit of the stirastiriing scene is wonderfully expressed by the great painter.—Observer. ALARMING ACCIDENT IN A MENAGERIE.--Ma como, "the Af.ican lion tamer," well known throughout England in connection with Mender's menagerie, is now confined to his bad at Norwich, having met with rather an alarming accident a few days since, while going through some of his exciting performances. It appears that Ma como, who is a very intelligent and courageous African, was engaged in representing a lion and tiger " hunt," when a young lion suddenly reared and caught him by the shoul der. Macomo had a spangled dress on, or probably the performance would have been his last ; as it was he was dragged down, and the lion fastened upon his left hand. Macomo, however, happily slipped, and fell under the lion near the railing of the large den in which the hunt had been represented, and his assailant being beaten off with an iron rod, he was quickly released from his critical position. It was found that he had been severely bitten in the haidd; and part of the forefinger has since been amputated. Ma como, who was bitten in the leg by a lioness while exhibiting in Norwich two years since, is now progressing favourably. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT MALTON.—On Satur day night, the 28th ult., a cattle dealer named Mr. John Dowson, who had attended Malton-market, suddenly dia. appeared. His residence is at Pickering, to which be ought to have gone by train that evening His continued absence .back to Maltoyi led to search being made for him, and bills weree trace o a man answering the description had been belieafaeathreathitb' being g on m ge a d to the 0 , 3 2 d t f r o t a un vell . ed to Hut son got into the York mail at Melton, ton, it is said in mistak®.
