'lames Barber and Co. have requested a meeting of their creditors on the 20th inst. in consequence of a telegram announcing the stoppage of their agents at .Calcutta, Messrs. Gordon, Stuart, and Co., who are Indebted to them to a large amount. Even, how ever, under the worst estimate of loss from this cause, they believe their assets will be found suffi cleut for all their liabilities, and looking at the char acter of the firm, which has been established for nearly 50 years, there is no doubt every effort will be made to enable them to continue business. An taxed is the circular issued : "136, Leadenhall-street, London, E.C., Dec. 14, 1866. Sir,—lt is with deep regret that we have to advise the receipt this morning of a telegram from Calcutta announc ,,,lng the stopp age o f our agen t s th ere, M essrs.

The " Personals" form certainly a most curious and characteristic feature in American journalism, says the Pall Mall Gazette, and perhaps you will allow me to add the following choice specimens from the New York papers to those you have • already given : A Gentleman in the Prime of Life is desirous of Form ing the Acquaintance of a Lady not over thirty years old —a young widow preferred—who is prepossessing in per son and refined in manners. Such a one, yearning for the pleasures which flow from the union of two ardent natures, will, by addressing —, meet a prompt response. The Lady who Rode up Town in a Third Avenue car on Saturday, February 1, during the snow storm, about 11 o'clock a.m., who, on leaving the car at Twenty-six-street, would not accept either the escort or umbrella of a gentle man who, although not personally known to her, is well acquainted with her sad history, will find a sincere friend —one who would deem it a privilege to be "allowed to relieve her necessities"—by addressing a note at her "earliest convenience" to his real name and place of busi ness, stating time and place for an interview. He has tried in various ways to make her acquaintance, but "without success," and sincerely hopes she will comply with this request. Adoption.—A Fine, Healthy Male Infant, four weeks old, of good American parents, may be adopted by any respectable family, either in the city or country. All claims will be relinquished, and any satisfactory arrangements made.—Address —., New York Post-office. Will the Gentleman who, in Crossing Sixth Avenue, at Twenty-seventh-street, on Tuesday evening, at 9 o'clock, and who came near falling, give his address, through Per sonals, to the lady who laughed at him, as she wishes to apologise. - ISABELL. For Adoption.—A Fine Healthy Male Infant, six weeks old. Can be seen for three days by calling at or addressing 34G, East Tenth-street, third floor. Light Guard Ball.—lf the Lady in blue silk dress, small black boddice, and with a light blue wreath of flowers upon her head, is willing to make the acquaintance of the gentleman who noticed her particularly in the Lancers, and afterwards (holding an opera cloak on his arm) received a recognition during the quadrille, a note addressed to H. M., care P. C. Godfrey, Union-square, Post-office, stating how a communication will roach her, will receive prompt attention. MALTA AND ALEXANDRIA CABLE. -VALETTA, Dec. 17, Evening.—The Malta and Alexandria Telegraph Cable is repaired, and communication was resumed this evening. The quarantine imposed upon arrivals from Alexandria, Smyrna, and Constantinople has been abolished.—Reuter's Telegram. THE WIDOW OF THE LATE VIOLINIST, ERNST, has finished a medallion model of him, which is said to be highly successful. It is to be placed on Ernst's monument.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) MELFORD T. MELFORD.-JUDGMENT. This was a suit instituted by the wife for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of her husband's cruelty and adultery and the case was heard before the learned judge without a jury, but judgment was reserved. His lordship delivered the judgment this morning. He said that, after mature consideration of the evidence, he could not pronounce that the question of cruelty alleged was established, although the adultery was fully proved. Although no.doubt the wife might naturally be anxious to sever her connection with a man of adulterous and drunken habits, still a clear case of cruelty must be made out before the Court could grant a petitioner relief. It appeared that during the ten years of the cohabitation only four cases of cruelty were alleged as having been in flicted on the petitioner, but it did not appear that these injuries were of a nature calculated to endanger her life or her bodily health. One of the principal of these acts was that the respondent had put a pillow over his wife's head with a view to smother her, but the evidence did not satisfy him there was any such intention on his part. He believed that a great portion of the misconduct of the re spondent towards his wife was occasioned by her self. For instance she insisted on ono occasion in walking to Exeter against his wish, and she was in the habit of speaking to him about looking at a woman he had not seen for two years. There must be violence calculated to compromise the wife's safety to con stitute legal cruelty, the ground upon which the Court had always acted. He must therefore grant the petitioner only judicial separation on the ground of adultery. On the application of Dr. Spinks, it was made part of the order that the petitioner should retain the custody of the children for the present, the husband to have reasonable access to them. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder). THE ALLEGED FRAUD AGAINST THE MANAGER OF THE JOINT-STOCK DISCOUNT COMPANY. The indictment against. James Proofing Wilkinson, under the act of Parliament passed some years ago, wherein it was provided that whoever, being an officer of any company, shall appropriate to his own use any of the property of the company should be guilty of misdemeanour, was postponed un til next session. It will be recollected that the defendant was the manager_ of the Joint-Stock Discount Company, and he was indicted for appropriating two cheques, one for £4,000 and another for £BOO, which he reported as having been lent to Messrs. Gaffer. Messrs. Caffer denied this, and affirmed that they wero given in payment for certain shares which they had purchased from him. On giving the cheque for £l,OOO defendant stated the money would be paid to him by a person who was to supply the funds for the shares, and by his direction no interest was charged, as was always done in the case of loans. MINT PROSECUTIONS. The other cases taken by the Recorder were Mint pro secutions, none of which presented anything out of the usual mode of proceedings adopted by the utterers of base coin. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.—Harry Betje man was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining somo gimp tassels and other articles of the value of ..£l3 by false pretences from Mr. Henry Newbury, upholsterer, 19, Percy-street, Tottenham.court-road. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap. peered for the defence. Thos. Walter Hasler, warehouseman to the prosecutor, said he had known the prisoner as a customer for some years. On the 20th November last the prisoner brought the order produced from Mr. Colbourne, of Kensington, for goods, and They were supplied him. On the 30th Nov. the prisoner called again and asked for other goods, and they were supplied him in the same manner. On the 3d of December the prisoner came again, and was supplied with other goods, and when Mr. Newbury asked him if he had not better have orders from Mr. Colbourne, and the prisoner said he would see about letting him have the orders. He gave the prisoner the goods, and sent the invoice to Mr. Colbourne. The pri soner before leaving on the last occasion gave another order for goods to be ready the next day. Ho allowed the prisoner to have all the goods, believing that he was em ployed by Mr. Colbourne. In cross-examination the witness said the name of Col bourne was mentioned. He asked the prisoner if he cam from Mr. Colbourne, and he said ho did. John Tucker, manager to Mr. Colbourne, High-street, Kennington, said he gave the prisoner ono order for goods on the 18th Nov. (produced), but no others. Henry Dawson, 301 A, said that on taking the prisoner law custuuy, anu reiung mm the charge, he said that he meant to pay for the goods. The prisoner denied Mr. Colbourne's name. Mr. Lewis, on the prisoner's behalf, said the prisoner obtained the goods on his own account, and denied having represented that they were for Mr. Colbourne. Mr. Lewis having called witnesses to speak to the pri soner's good character, Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for trial, but consented, on the application of Mr. Lewis, to take two bail in £5O each. WESTMINSTER. IMPUDENT ROBBERY BY A WORKMAN'.—John Appleby, a bricklayer, was charged with robbing his employer. Mr. Hunt, builder, 455, Fullam-road, said that the pri soner had previously worked for him. Yesterday after noon, while in Gunter's-terrace, Fulham-road, a cabman came and informed him that prisoner had robbed him, and in consequence of what the man said prosecutor went to a Mr. Taylor's, and thore found a barrow belonging to him in the yard. James M'Clelland, an apprentice to the prosecutor, said that early in October last he saw the prisoner go away from Mr. Hunt's building with a barrow full of slates. Witness had charge of the premises, and bArr-"L'ua cue barrow and slates to be taken away, because prisoner, who had worked for him for son-to time, said he had Mrs. Hunt's authority for taking the things. Further evidence was given, from which it appeared the prisoner, while in Mr. Hunt's employ, took a job from another person on his own account, for which he was to receive £2, to slate a roof, and that he then purchased the slates and afterwards.kopt the barrow. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded un. til to-morrow week. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY ON THE RIVER.—A young, shabbily dressed man, who gave the name of Georgo Sullivan, and afterwards Daniel Thomas, but who described himself last night as Thomas Fraser, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 20 bolts of canvas, valued at .£7O, and with being in tho unlawful possession of a horse and cart. inspector Hathaway, of the river police, said that abolit three o'clock yesterday afternoon his attention was called to a punt lying near the Newcastle Arms dry dock, Isle of Dogs, Poplar. He directed three constables to watch the punt and stop any one who came on board. He remained by the punt for half an hour, and on his return he found the: prisoner in custody. The punt contained 19 bolts of canvas, which he suspected had been stolen from a ship or barge in the Victoria Dock. He afterwards found another bolt of eanvas which had been landed. The punt was named the George, and belonged to a Mr. Nicholls, a barge owner and lighterman, of Lime house. It had been made use of without the ownot's per mission to convey the stolen property from the place where it vats stolen to the Newcastle dry dock. James Terry, a Thames police-constable, said ho heard a horse and cart driven down to the place near where the punt was lying. He saw the prisoner on board the punt, and watched him. A bolt of canvas was taken out of the punt, and was being passed into the cart by the prisoner and another man. He then gave chase to the thieves, and captured the prisoner. The other man got away. Mr. Paget—ls there any owner for the canvas ? Inspector Hathaway—Not at present. I have no doubt I shall find an owner if you remand the prisoner. The owner of the horse and cart said the prisoner came to him, used the name of a respectable man with whom ho was acquainted, and said he had some goods to remove. Mr. Paget—Yes; the bolts of canvas which have been stolen. The prisoner said he was a paid labourer, and did not know how the canvas had been stolen. Mr. Paget—Next Tuesday is Christmas-day, and I shall remand you on the charge of stealing 20 bolts of canvas, until Wednesday, the 26th of December. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—It has been arranged that the oration in honour of the memory of the late John Hunter shall be delivered on the 14th of Feb ruary next by Professor Hilton, F.R.S. Henceforth an oration will be delivered in alternate years. It is a curious fact connected with deep mining that from the hours of 12 at night and 3 in the morning, the disturbing influence in the bowels of the earth obtains increased activity. At that time it is observed by miners that water falls from places where none is observable during the day. The volume in the wheel is perceptibly increased, the atmosphere is charged with gases which often pre vent the lights from burning, and small particles of earth and rocks are observed to fall from the tops of the drive. Whether this phenomenon is to be attributed to the diurnal motion of the earth or other causes, it is worthy the attention of the curious. —Geelong Aclverti,yer. WRECKS IN 1865. A return issued by the Board of Trade records 1,656 wrecks and casualties as having occurred in 1865 on and near the coasts of the United King dom. The number in 1864 was 1,390. The annual average number during the five years ending 1859 was 1,204; in the five years ending 1864 it was 1,483. The number for 1865 was therefore above the average. This is partly attributable to an increase in the number of vessels frequenting the coasts, and it is also to be noted that the numbers for any one year will be increased or diminished according to the prevalence or ab sence of gales. The return mentions that iu Nov., 1864, there were 261 casualties, with the wind chiefly in the south south-east and south-west ; but, owing to the absence of any special gales of re markable duration and violence, the total number of casualties in that year was 274 below the num ber in 1863. Iu 1865 the gales of January, February, and March, and October, November, and December, gave 766 casualties. It appears by the returns that westerly gales are far inure fatal than easterly gales, the most fatal being those from the south-west. The number of ships lost or damaged in 1865 was 2,012, and is in excess of the number of wrecks and casualties (1,656), because in cases of collision two or more ships are involved in one casualty. Out of the 1,656 casualties, 868 occurred on the east coast, 386 on the west coast, 187 on the south coast, and 146 on the Irish coast. .While the greatest number of casual ties happened on the east coast, yet the greatest loss of life occurred in the Irish Sea. Taking the last seven years the number of lives lost in the Irish Sea has been more than double the number lost on any other part of the coast. Of the 2,012 ships lost or damaged 1,914 were vessels employed iu the regular carrying trade, out of which number 934 were unseaworthy, overladen, or ill-found vessels of the collier class, chiefly employed in the coasting trade. Of the total number of casualties in 1865 331 are referred to collisions, of which 114 occurred in the daytime and 240 at night. It is remarkable that although the collisions in 1865 are in excess of any year since 1855, yet the number of lives lost by this class of casualties is, with only one exception, less than that recorded in any year since 1858. Of the remaining 1,302 casualties 470 resulted in the total loss of the vessels, 99 were lost through inattention, carelessness, or neglect, and 38 are stated to have been lost through defects either in the ship or in her equipments ; no less than the 30 out of the 38 foundered from unsea worthiness. Out of the 832 partial losses, other than by collision, 137 arose from carelessness, and 48 from defects in the ship, or her equipments. The total number of ships which, according to the facts reported, appear to have foundered or to have been otherwise totally lost, on the coasts of the United Kingdom from unseaworthines alone during the last ten years was 423 ; and the number of casualties caused through unsea worthy ships, unsound gear, &c., during the same period was bB6. It is noticed that of the total number of casualties in 1865 the comparatively new ships bore a very high proportion. Out of the 2,012 vessels lost or damaged 82 were rigged as ships, 130 were steamships, 542 schooners, 419 brigs, 187 barks, 187 brigantines, and 196 were smacks. Among them were 1,267 old ships from 30 to 50 years of age; 230 were between 50 and 60 years old ; 102 from 60 to 70 ; 48 from 70 to 80 ; 14 from 80 to 90 ; 6 from 90 to 100 ; and 4 of 101 years and upwards. It is mentioned that the state of rot tenness and of want of repair of some of the ships above 20 years old often calls for remark ; and even at the age of 25 to 30 it sometimes happens that a ship is so rotten as to fall to pieces immediately on touching the ground, without giving the crew the slightest chance of getting-out the boats. As re gards the loss of life the returns show that the total numbers of persons lost on and near the coasts of the United Kingdom in 1865, in 164 ships was 698. Out of this number 275 lives were lost in vessels that foun dered, 53 were lost through collisions, and 335 were lost in vessels stranded or cast ashore. On the other hand, 4,162 lives were saved from wrecks during the vear—viz., R 96 by lifoboata, 400 by rocket and mortar apparatus, &c. ; 323 by lug gers, coastguard boats, and small craft ; 914 by ships and steamboats, 1,768 by ships' own boats, 6 by individual exertion, and 346 by other means. At the close of 1865 there were 234 lifeboats on the coasts of the United King dom ; there were also 249 rocket and mortar sta tions, and 553 coastguard stations provided with cork life jackets and life lines. Attention is directed in the report to a new double rocket, invented by Colonel Boxer. This rocket is so arranged that on the first rocket being expended the second takes fire and completes the range. During the present year, 1866, a new decoration, styled the " Albert Medal," has been instituted by her Majesty, to be awarded to those who endanger their lives in the effort to save the lives of others from shipwreck and from perils of the sea.

FOREIGN TRADE OF 1866.—1 n the first eight months of the year 1866 the exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures reached the unpre cedented value of £125,265,820. Foremost in the return stand the exports to the United States— £9,4B3,oB4 in the first eight months of 1865, and £19,893,445 in the corresponding period of 1866. The exports to British North America also advanced from £3,203,499 to £5,407,253. China (including Hongkong) also presents a remarkable return-- £3,284,242 in 1865, and £5,151,695 in 1866. France has taken of us in the eight months of 1866 merchandise to the value of £1,500,000 more than in the same period of 1865 ; the trade with Turkey shows an increase of more than £2,300,000 ' • with Egypt more than £1,600,000 ; with Brazil more than £1,600,000. Our trade with India and Australia has not advanced by such an extraordinary stride ; but, nevertheless, has reached the respective values of £13,075,871 and £8,883,838. The trade with some parts of the continent of Europe has, as might be expected, declined in this year, many of our customers being otherwise engaged. But the whole result is an advance in the trade with foreign countries from £70,229,031 in the first eight months of 1865 to £89,080,404 in 1866 ; and with British possessions from £32,171,665 to £36,185,416. The increase in our exports to the United States has extended to all our great staple articles of commerce, and is very marked in cotton piece-goods, of which we have in the first three-quarters of this year despatched to that house of King Cotton 92,398,850 yards—a million yards in every three days. Of linen piece goods we have also sent thither in this year 87,744,821 yards, of worsted stuffs 63,135,367 yards, and of woollen cloths 4,391,621 yards. In the increased trade with other countries also our cotton manufacturers have got the lion's share ; they have sent in the first nine mouths of 1866 123,020,062 yards of piece-goods to Brazil, 123,051,313 yards to China and Hong Kong, 156,220,400 yards to Turkey, 160,232,122 yards to Egypt, 443,176,474 yards to India. In the first three quarters of this year we have sent abroad more than 1,902,000,000 yards of cotton piece goods —nearly 7,000,000 yards a day. The exports of coal, of iron, of tin plates, of earthenware, and of haberdashery have increased greatly this year. The exports of British and Irish produce and manu factures now average in value more than £500,000 a day, ITILDFORD ELECTION. POLLING.—TIIIS DAY, ONE O'CLOCK. Garth (Conservative) 321 Pocock (Liberal) 293 Central Criminal Court—Yesterday. - OLD COURT. The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester. day c'rening THE CHARGES AGAINST MOSES MOSES. John Blake and Moses Moses•were indicted, the former for stealing two saddles, the property of Edward Harris and others, his masters, and the latter with feloniously receiving the same well knowing them to have been stolen. There were other indictments against the prisoner for stealing and receiving a quantity of combs, and against Moses for receiving two pigs of white metal, the property of her Majesty the Queen. The prisoner Moses Moses, it will be recollected, was a general dealer, carrying on business at Black Horse -yard, Houndsditch, and in the month of November the prisoner gave notice to the polic3 tint In had been robbed of a quantity of cloth. The police inspected the premises, in the course of which they discovered underneath a large heap of rags a great quantity of jewellery and various things, which induced them to entertain the suspicion that the man Moses was the receiver of stolen goods. They prosecuted the search with the greatest diligence, and the saddles, which formed the ground of the present indictment, wore found. The property had originally been placed in cases for shipment abroad, and were confided to Messrs. Harris for conveyance to the East India Docks, Blake being engaged as driver of the cart. On the saddles being discovered by the officers, Blake's employer told him of the circumstance, and asked him whether he had given any person a lift on the road, or whether he had left his cart at all, but as the prisoner took time to think about the matter he was taken into custody before his employer had received an answer. A number of witnesses were called, who were employed at the Docks, who proved the reception from the prisoner of certain cases for Bombay, and they were all in good condi tion. They were received on August 16 and despatched therefrom on the 23d, to all appearance in the same state as when they left the premises of Messrs. Harris. Mr. Montague Williams, for the prisoner Blake, ad dressed the jury, and urged upon them the consideration of the point whether it was impossible .that during the week the cases were lying at the docks the cases could have been opened and the property stolen ; or whether during the time they were in the packer's office they had not been tampered with. The evidence of the witnesses from the docks said that the goods were received in an appa rently secure condition, and . therefore he thought they would be of opinion that the evidence did not justify their convicting the man of felony. Mr. Ribton addressed the jury for Moses. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against both pri soners. There wore a number of other indictments against Moses for being in possession of a largo quantity of jewel lery. Mr. Metcalf said if it was given up to the owners he should not proceed with the other indictments. Mr. Gough, for the assignees of Moses, who since his apprehension had been declared a bankrupt, opposed the giving up any more of the property than was properly identified in court. Mr. Metcalf said that would compPl him to go on.with the other cases. The property found on the promises of Moses amounted to over £2,000 in value. The Recorder said he had no power to order the resto ration of the property without a conviction, unless all per sons consented. He should like to know the date of the prisoner Moses's former conviction. Constable Blake said it was in March, 1854, when he was sentenced to 14 years' penal servitude. Ho was after wards released on a ticket-of-leave in 1860. The Recorder—What ! at the end of six years ? Blako said that was so. The other indictments with respect to the jewellery were then gone into, and verdicts of guilty returned in each case. The Recorder, in passing sentence, told Moses he ap peared to be a systematic receiver of stolen goods. He had had one severe sentence, but on his release he at once went back to his old pursuits. The sentence of the Court in the present instance would be that he be kept in penal servitude for 20 years, and the prisoner Blake be sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. GUILDFORD ELECTION.

Three other blood horses were disposed of, including Freedom, whom Mr. Nightingall got very cheap for 80gs., as he is big enough to make asteeP le chaser.

ME. HENRY PIIILLIPS P .---We are sorry to see that the friends of Mr. Henry pubi‘llicAninAl3iiisEb_ohialf, find it so long our most re doubtable bass have overpassed all necessary to appeal to the a ex s p i , :b e n s t c a r t i i i i: n ti . on having been announced. l't STORI S success in America seems to THE Two SIIITHS.—A gentleman, with the same Christian and surname, took lodgings in the same house with James Smith. Tho consequence was eternal con fusion of calls and letters. Indeed, the postman had no alternative but to share the letters equally between the two. " This is intolerable, sir," said our friend, " and you must quit." " Why am Ito quit more than you ?" " Be cause you are James the Second—and must abdicate." KEBLE MEMORIAL.—We hear that the diocese of Toronto has unanimously decided to combine their con tributions with those of the college scheme. Various plans for raising a local memorial to Mr. Keble had been dis cussed, but the Oxford college was considered the best. The amount of this fund already reaches the sum of .C 31,000. erein D tile ,ariS li aned• to be lraOrt j ots [ a yor °c ow. )flow L the '1 ill ' ' ...r I. ailL )Ideu iTS per beet' pec von- one /l ies) one utlY won irge sts, the cep 100 st 1 20 20& 1021 101 97j 8 97 93 2i 103} 102 i i
