The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly but firmly, and prices of all descriptions were unchanged from last week's prices. The sales were 7,000 bales, consisting of 1,000 for ex port and 1,000 on speculation, including, 770 Per nam and Maranham, 61d. to 7id.; 720 Bahia, Gid. to 63d. ; 400 Egyptian, 60. to Bd. ; 500 Surat, 41d. to sd. ; and 80 Sea Island, 11d. to Is. 3d. ' per lb. There was no material alteration to notice in the Railway Share Market, but transactions were numerous. The ad vices from Antwerp report upon the gene- I ral commerce of last week as having been steady, with the exception of the grain market which presented a further tendency to decline. A public Pale of wools had been held during the week, and produced a very favourable result. Of 1,700 bales Buenos Ayres and Monte Video wools brought for sale 1,350 were disposed of to different purchasers, and the remainder was bought in. The prices realised for the best qualities denoted much t firmness in the previous rates, but ordinary sorts exhibited a tendency to fall. Amongst the imports were 284 bales from England, which were sold at full rates. In the coffee markn the rise of the previous week was maintained ; and the reserve of purchasers in expectation of lower I prices gave way, and stocks were laid in at the ruling quotations. There was a moderate demand for cotton, and an arrival of 636 bales from Liver ' Pool met with a fair market. In sugars there was a complete stagnation in business, and although no change was observable in quotations, still they Were nearly nominal. The other branches of trade Were quiet, and the amount of shipping inwards and outwards was greater than during the previous Week. The condition of some of the Continental money Markets continues unfavourable, with a tendency towards increased stringency rather than otherwise. Notwithstanding the recent advance in the rates of i t discount by most of the German bank s , a s till ( further increase is spoken of, and the scarcity of Money is alleged to be seriously impeding in some districts the transactions of the commercial Community. With regard to our own money t market no improvement is yet expected, the de bland, at the present moment, being active both in Lombard-street and at the Bank of England. Besides the requirements of the Stock Exchange, operations to effect the settlement in Foreign stock and Railway Shares, preparations are in progress for the payment on Thursday next of the final instal rflent of 20 per cent., or 1,000,0001., on the loan of V $ 000 , 000/ . which was negotiated last M a y. Thi s p. event has no doubt been anticipated by most par ties, consequently it is not likely to have any serious effect on the market. At the same time, however, 1 4 it will no doubt strengthen the terms for accom modation. Little has been said during the last day or two as to the probability, or otherwise, of 41 1 early advance in the Bank minimum ; but there i S, nevertheless, an impression that the Directors Will soon be compelled to adopt a more restrictive Policy, unless a salutary change takes place in the general state of monetary affairs. A. slight improvement must be reported in the aspect of the markets for speculative securities ; resulting, however, rather from a temporary pause 'io Bear operations than from any favourable change in those circumstances which have been influencing the quotations. The fall in Consols has now been aonsiderable, and many of the operators being en k / bled to close their accounts at a largo profit, they take advantage of their position, and accordingly bang back. These transactions, besides arresting t he declension, have also had the effect of occasion titig a slight recovery, and thus Consols are to 1 totter than at the close of business yesterday. P er money the quotations have been 933 3 / 4 and 4 1 1, while those for the accounts have been 931 1 sad 93/ to 94. The present prices, however, are bogy 93i 1 and 931 respectively. Exchequer bills are dull, at 13s. to 16s. prem., and the bonds 991 -1. Foreign Stocks are also firmer, especially The 6 per Cents. are 101 to 102, the I Per Cents. are 101 2, and the Small 101. P eruvian 41 per Cents. are 1 lower, viz , 79k, and t he Threes 57. Equador New Consolidated are Ai, and Peruvian Dollar Bonds 601. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign stocks Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71 to 8 ; exi can, 22i to 22/ ; Peruvian, 80 to 82 ; ditto '4 ° Per Cents., 57 to 59 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45 to 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 108 to 109 ; 'itlitto 4 3 / 4 per Cents., 97 to 99 ; Spanish 3 per scents., 431 41; ditto Deferred, 241 51 ; ditto Certificates, 5i ; ditto Passive, 61 Railway Shares may be quoted to better all round, but the transactions are limited. This is nettling day, and the dealers are busily employed 'ith the adjustment of the account. Great Western of Canada are firmer, but in the _ _ Other Colonial as well as the Foreign Lines, ',ere is no material alteration. Ceylons have de tlined to 11, owing to the undertaking not having been, favourably received in the colony. aj Nothing has been done in Mining shares, Banks 41.0 firm, and Miscellaneous dull. .411RITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.-CLOSING PRICES.

UTTERING A FORGED CuEQUE.—John M•Devitt, aged 37, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniously uttering t 3 Henry Fany Beeton a forged cheque for the sun: of 101., with intent to defraud. The prosecutor, in anqwer to questions from the learned Recorder, [...aid be I,a , i known the prisoner from infancy. He was rs. , speciably connenti•d, and had been a commercial traveller. lie had lately Ih2en in distressed circumstances, and had a wife aad two c!iddren t 3 sup port. The proecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy, believing he had been induced by others to com mit this offence. The prisoner it wai his fir,t offonm and ha boped his lerdship wen hl &al leniently with him. The learned Recorder sail the offence with which the pri.oner was charged was a very grave ore, and required severe punishment, hut under the eireniwttanes he sen tenced the prisoner to IS mmtli,' imprisonment, with hard labour. Peter Suellin :Lisa pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a quantity of oats fro►n his employers, Messrs. Frost and Ca., corn factors, in East lane, Walwortb. The prisoner, who is an elderly man, had been upwards of 11 years in prosecutor's employ ai a c ►rter, at 18s per week. The practice adopted by him was to take a quan tity of corn from what be had to deliver to his master's customers, and sell it. The prosecutor said he had every reason to believe the prisoner had carried on this prac tice for the last two or three years. lie was sentenced to 18 months' hard labour. bilAtoNstitArrOW, In Tite Sua, of yesterday we gave an account of the progress of the Chartist procesAon, but from the con fusion that prevailed cn Primrose-hill were unable to report the speeches. The following is an outline of the proceedirgs : Oa Mr. Frost and the committee appearing on the top of the bill, Mr. Ernest Jones was called to the chair, and he opened the proceedings by saying that the day on which they were met was a day of note in the history of labour. In Moscow, the metropolis of the east, a procession of willing slav e s had been paying homage to the oppressor. In London, the metropolis of the west, this was a pro cesdon of men desirieg to be free, who had gone to pay homage t ) the oppressor's victim. Nor would this be no:rely a vain ceremony--the effect of that demonstration would reverberate through Europe. Its immediate re sult would be that two or three reformed measures would be broug%t forward in Parliament, for the governing elass,A woe!!! say, "These Charti-t are getting str again, and if we do nut give them a sop to stop their mouths they will gain the public mind." (Cheers.) They bad been emducting th a t movement f or many years, and by his side he s a id h e saw t h e li v i ng ev id ence of their e.)mt,tocy and their sufferings. (Renewed cheer mug.) Every other party—every other class—has tried its hand at reform measures. Each has promised pros perity to the people ; but which of them bad been able to realise those promises 'I After having tried all, and all had failed, they, who had r.ever given up the field, stepped forward prominently before them, saying , "Support us, rally round us, adopt the people's charter, and prosperity will be the result." (Cheers.) The ode having been sung, Mr. James Finlan pre; sented an address to Mr. Frost, which was received with great cheering. Mr. Frost having received the address, which was printed in gold on green satin, then replied as follows : Brother Chartists, I accept with much pleasure your kind congratulations on my return to my native country, and be assured that I set a proper value on them. lam convinced of their sincerity, and nothing shall be wanting on my part to continue to deserve the confidence of ties working men. On principle and humanity I have ever taken the part of the weak against the strong, .when I believed the weak to be right ; and to be held in re membrance by the industrious classes gives me more real satisfaction than anything the wealthy and powerful could bestow. It is the leading principle of that reli gion which I profess—this was my practice when I held situations of power, to succour the oppressed, and I shall do so while life remains. (Cheers). Forty years ago I became convinced that the miserable state of our country, and of its industrious inhabitants, was occa sioned by the law-giver, by the corruption of the House of Oommone, and I did all in my power to point out to my neighbours the cause of the evil and the remedy. The only remedy, as it then appeared to me, was to re cur to the principles of our ancient constitution, which principles are embodied in what is now called the °barter. (Gt eat applause). I saw the demoralising effects of the present mode of electing members of the House of Commons in my native town. In the year 1837, on the accession of Queen Victoria, I was the mayor of our borough and the returning officer. At that election I believe that 20,0001. were spent, principally in brib ing the electors, in corrupting society in its very found dation, and I was obliged to receive the votes of men whom I with good reason suspected bad received money from both canetlates. (Applause). During the agitation for the Reform Bill I warned my countrymen that the thing was a humbug, that it would put the same sort of men into the house as those who occupied seats under the borough system ; and I have lived to see the day when the ablest writers in England have declared that since the Reform Bill became the law of the land the members elected under it were greater imbeciles, and more dis honest, than any elected under the old system. (Hear, bear). Bitter as was the hatred which I formerly felt for the men who oppressed and impoverished my country, it was nothing in intensity compared to what I feel at present—(hear, hear) ;—and base, indeed, must I be if, after witnessing the sufferings and depravity of my countrymen in Van Diemen's I Land, there occasioned by the laws, I did not exert every power I possessed to change a system which, unless altered, and speedily too, will bring down on the nation the vengeance of that God who, for crimes of the same kind, produced, too, by the merciless severity of the lawgiver, destroyed the fairest spot in the world. (Cheers.) lam greatly pleased to find that the Chartists of London and its suburbs place confidence in my inter rity ; that confidence shall not be disappointed. (Ap plause.) Let our organisations be preserved where they exist, and let others be formed where there are none. When the parliament meets we shall be able to place our cause before it in such a manner that the enemies of the people will not be able to resist our claims. (Cheers.) They are founded on justice; the powers possessed by the House of Commons are usurpations, obtained at the expense of those principles which deputies ought never to have violated ; and the poverty, misery, .and crime which now afflict our unfortunate but beautiful country are to be attributed to these usurpations. We play for a great stake—for life or death—let the game be played skilfully. (Bear, hear.) Let us be cool, but determined —prudent, but fearless—giving up no principle—satis• fled with nothing less than our due, and we may yet live to see our country once more bearing and deserving the name of " merry England." (Continued applause and cheering.) Mr. lIENRETTE then moved a resolution, in favour of the adoption of the charter. Mr AMBROSE TOMLINSON seconded the resolution, which was put and unanimously agreed to. Three cheers were given for John Frost, and a similar honour having been accorded to Mr. Ernest Jones, the meeting separated. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. ROO - YELL, OF LAMBETH. Last evening Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, and a highly respectable jury, aseemhled at Mr. Day's, the Eight Bells Tavern, Cross-street, Blackfriars road, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances connected with the death of Mr. Richard Palmer Rou pell, aced 74, a gentleman well known in Lambeth on account of his immense wealth and liberality towards the poor. The Coroner, in opening the proceedings, said that he apprehended the case did not call for any particular ob servation from him, beyond the fact that Mr. Roupell was found dead in his bed. He had, however, ordered his friends to get the body opened, so as to satisfy his family as to the cause of death. Louisa Maria Hannan, a widow, said that she was housekeeper to the deceased, who resided at 18, Cross street, his family residence being Aspin-house, Brixton bill. Be slept generally at Cross-street, but on Sunday nights at his country house. She was the only person who resided with him in Cross street. On Friday last, about twenty minutes to seven o'clock, she went into his room to see whether he required anything, when she found him, as she supposed, in a comfortable sleep. As she did not hear him breathe, she went round to the bed side and found that he had died. She immediately sent for Mr. Clarke. who proceeded to Dr. Barlow, and brought him back in a cab. She had been told by the family some time before, in the event of the deceased being taken ill, to send at once for Mr. Clarke. De ceased had a prescription from Dr. Barlow, but no medi cal gentleman attended him at his own house. On Thursday Mrs. Roupell and his son William were with h:tn, and lie took some gruel in their presence. They left about half-past ten o'clock, and she saw the decease(' into his bed. After his family had left he said that he should like some more gruel, and witness made him some, consisting of the best meal and milk. During the night he appeared very restless, but not more so than on Wednesday, and she heard him as late as between four and five in the morning. Witness considered that the deceased was ill, but not dangerously. By the Coroner.—She had lust a kind friend and good master, and so had a good many others. Mr. John Shea, M.D., said that he had made a post mortent examination of the body, and found that death had resulted from serous apoplexy, brought on from na tural causes, and not from anything taken. Mr. Clarke deposed to the deceased having been greatly annoyed, owing to some lawsuits and a fire that had taken place on his farm. The jury returned a verdict of "Natural death from serous apoplexy." LETTERS TO AND FROM BRITISH NAVAL AND MILITARY FORCES. General Post Office, 13th Sept., 1856.

(HALF-YEARLY MEETING THIS DAY.) The twenty.fifth half-yearly meeting of this compaLy was held this day at the Easton station. The chair was taken by Sir M. Peto. The SECRETARY then read the following report : The receipts for the half-year ending June 30 sln w an increase of 9,318/, on the railway, and 4,6931. on the steam-boats, as compared with the corresponding period of 1855, the increase in the expenditure being 5,1681. The comparative statement of traffic shows a gradual increase in the receipts. The rec e ipt s f or the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1850, amounted to 57,4811., and for the same period in 1856 to 110,' 4 18 , ., while the expenses amounted to 35,6371. and 59,4981. respectively, leaving the balance in favour of the railway at, the former period 21,84 >l. and at the latter period 50,8191. The receipts for the steam-boats in the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1850, amount. 1 to 4.09/. and the expenses to 9,901 , showing a loss of 5,8161. The receipts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted to 21,6871., and the expenses to 21,538/., showing an increitee of 149/. The comparative statement of through live stock traffic also shows a progressive increase; in the half-year ending the 30th of June. 1813, it amounted to 2,0761. ; in the same period of 1851, to 4,9091., and in the same period of 1855, to 6,6771., and in the half-year ending the 37th of June, 1856, to 10,6 91 . D ur i ng t h e past half year an additional outlay has been incurred in the construc tion of a new bridge over the river Forydd, and on other works of a character not. likely to be again required. These items, amounting in all to 1,0581., not being properly charges against any one half•year, it is proposed to spread over a period of three years. The proportion for the past half-year, 2111., is charged to the accounts, and the balance is placed for the presentgo a suspense account, and will be cleared off by charges of similar amount in future accounts. The accounts show a net balance to the credit of revenue of 50,9681., which leaves after payment of debenture interest and rent of Bangor and Carnarvon Railway, a balance of 23,0291. From this sum the directors have paid the interest due on the loans advanced on the reserved second preferenoe shares, and now recommend that the full dividend be de clared of Bs. 3d. per share on the first preference shares of the company, payable on and after the 20th inst., and that the balance, 1761., be carried forward to the next half-year. Tho dividends declared at the last meeting, but with pay ment deferred, have been liquidated. The working ex penses for the six months have been little short of 54 per sent. on the earnings of the railway. These charges will now be reduced under the agreement with the London and North Western Company to 46 per cent. for the current year, subject to a further reduction for the ensuing year of 2 per cent., and subsequently to 1 per cent. above the current half-year rate, for the working expenses on the London and North Western Railway. With this reduced expenditure, it is apparent that the income of the company during the present twelve months, will be more than suffi cient to meet all the current claims, including debenture interest, and pay the dividends on the first and second pre ference shares. The outstanding liabilities of the company have been ascertained, and will be met by the issue of the reserved capital and the sale of surplus lands. Mr. Cole man has retired from the position of public accountant to the company, and Mr. Beloe has been nominated to succeed to the office. The capital account states that 4.303,5011. had been received and 4,338,909/, expended; leaving a balance against the company of 35,4071. The balance to the credit of revenue account from the half-year's working amounted to 50,968/, To this sum is added 25,318/, bal ance from the 31st of December, 1855, and 7,7791. interest paid by the London,and North Western, making together 84,066/. From this sum is deducted 25,200/. for dividend of 1.25. per share on first preference shares declared at last meeting, 6,3831. dividend on second preference shares at 5 per cent, per annum, 1,0001. added to the renewal of steam boats, 3,0001. rent of Bangor and Carnarvon Railway, 5,5271. interest on advances, and 2 5.454/. debenture in terest to the 10th July last, including interest on Bangor and Carnarvon bonds, leaving a balance of 17,5011. Tne CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, entered at length into the details of the items mentioned therein, and congratulated the assembled proprietors on the increasing prosperity of the undertaking. For ten or twelve years no very large outlay would be required on the permanent way, and Mr. Fowler estimated the average expenditure in respect to permanent way and walks in future years at 20,5001 'per annum. The gross receip's from the steamboat and railway traffic amounted in 1850 to 61,5001.; they have risen from that period to the present to 110,3181. The steamboat traffic the chair- man said was quite as remunerative as the railway traf fic. With respect to branch lines great misunderstand ing prevailed in England hitherto ; they had been con structed either for the purpose of guarding existing traffic, rather than producing traffic, or for legitimately raising traffic in a right direction without sufficient refer ence to the interests of local parties as regarded the cost. He should advise the company not to undertake a single branch line without the parties interested would under take the cost. He concluded by moving the report. A SHAREHOLDER asked whether any negotiations had taken place relative to an improved communication with Ireland! The CMAIRMIN said at the close of the session o Parliament the negotiations appeared nearly at a con summation, but at the breaking up o 1 Parliament those negotiations were suspended, and the directors' negotia tions had also been suspended, and he (tbe Chairman) supposed that. untill the Parliament re-assembled and the Irish members began to agitate the question they would hear nothing further upon the subject, The resolution adopting the report was then put and carried unanimously. A resolution was also carried authorising the pay ment of the dividend mentioned in the report. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the proceedings, LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(this Day.) LONDON.

HERRING FISHING IN THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND FOR SEASON 1856.—The herring fishing for the season virtually closed on Saturday last. The engagements with the hired men expired on that day, and the crews therefore break up and depart for their homes. At several of the stations a few crews may be m a d e up , w h o will this week prosecute the fishing if the weather be good, and if fish be obtainable. The result of their labours will, however, be but mall in the aggre gate, and cannot affect the gross catch. We subjoin a statement of the results of the fishing at the various stations in the north:—Banff, 1,743 cranes ; Macduff, 7,809 ; Gardenstown, 7,150 ; p ennan, 63 6 ; Pitullie, 2,484; Rosehearty, 4 ,058 ; Fr aser b urg h, 20,944 ; Peterhead and Boddam, circa, 40,040 ; White hills, 2,292 ; Portsoy, 2,018 ; Cullen, 2,976 ; Port.- knockie. 2,812 ; Findochty and Portessie, 5,760; Bucki e , 5,278; Portgordon, 6,324; Lossiemouth, 10,753; Burg head, 4,560; Hopernan, 3,850; Findhorn, 600; Helms dale, 11,960; Brora. 2,275; Dunbeath, 6.570; Lobster district, circa, 27,000 ; Wick, 89,250. Total, 270,167 craps. It was at one time feared that the fishing would be exceedingly short. This is not the case, as will be seen from the following figures, showing the gross catch at the same stations taken at the same date in each of the last nineyears:-1847, 2/5,000 crans; 1848 , 275 000- 1849, 351,610 ; 1850, 221,000 ; 1851, 273,066 ; 1852, 214,752; 1853, 338,740; 1854, 275,327; 1855, 320,612. Average of above nine years, 281,012 crane. It will be seen that the catch of the present season is only 10,000 barrels below the average of the last nine years, while it nearly equals that of 1854, and surpasses th ose o f 1852, 1850, and 1847. The great falling off has been at Wick, where there are 40,000 barrels fewer than in 1855. The other stations, however, have generally fished pretty well. Macduff, Peterhead, and Bodctam, and Findochty and Portessie, have nearly double what they had last year; while the catch at Lossiemout is one-third more than last season. 100 all 100 1000 100 I all all 100 100 1100 82s. 1 100 100 all FORNIGII. 95 } i 192 4 101 3i I 4 77i 781 7 79 7i 9i lsi 70 j j 121 12 20i 21 1 I 31 4A I 244 4 7 i II lli f 11 1041 i 67 203 323 3 3 FORGERY. S. M'Culloch, 21, sailor, was charged with feloniously uttering a forged order for 3/. with intent to defraud. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor a boarding house keeper of Upper East Smithfield, that the prisoner lodged with him, and on the 19th of August presented him with a shipping note for 31. in payment of his bill. Prosecutor asked the prisoner if it was a genuine note, and be said it was, but on examining it his sus picions were aroused from the amount having been filled in with a figure of 3 and three ciphers instead of two for no shillings and pence, making it appear 3,0001. The prisoner, before and after his apprehension, made different statements how he became possessed of the note, and on inquiries by the police it was found there was no ship in the port of London at the time called the Providence, nor could the persons be found whose names and addresses were on it, and that the shipping office had discontinued the issue of advance notes for the last 12 months, in accordance with the terms of the act of Parliament, passed for abllishing them to prevent "crimping." The form of the note was different to that which had been issued by the Shipping Office. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner, when called on, said he did not knew the note was forged, and denied that he gave it to the prosecutor. He said he was a native of Edinburgh, and that ho hal no one in London t 3 call and give him a character. He arrived in London about a month since in the George from Balaklava. The learned Recorder deferred sentencing the pri soner, and directed the police,nan engaged in the case to make inquiries at the Shipping Office on Tower-hill, wheri the prisoner said he was paid off, if his tale was correct. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—{This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED ROBBERY.-- Amelia Reynolds was brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with stealing a purse, con taining three sovereigns, eleven Napoleons, and one shilling in silver, belonging t) Gerard Saiids, a foreign gentleman, residing in Cranbourn-court. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that about sixteen months ago, on the 11th of May, he met the prisoner in Piccadilly, and at her solicitation accom panied her to a tavern close by, where they had some thing to o.rink. At that time his purse, containing the amount named in the charge, was safe in his pocket. While they were drinking they were joined by two other women, whom he also treated with drink. They then left the house, and prisoner then bade him good night and went away. Directly she had left he missed his purse, which be was satisfied she had taken, and, notwithstanding every effort made to discover her, be did not suz,ceed till Monday night, when he met her in the street, and at once gave her into custody. The prisoners in defence, denied the charge, and said she could prove she was in America at the time named by the prosecutor, and that she only arrived in this country a few months ago. The sister-in-law of the accused positively swore that her sister left London for America two years ago, and after remaining there for some time came to England again 8 months ago. Mr. Beadon said there was not the least evidence to prove that the defendant was the woman who stole the purse, and he should therefore order her to be dis charged. THAMES. CONVICTION Or • MOST lINfiItIiATEFUL THlEL—Fred erido Dorking, a youth of about 17 years of age, who said be believed he was a seaman, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a silver watch, guard chain, silk handkerchief, and 15s. 91. in money, from Andrew Murray, a sailor, belonging to the Salamander man-of-war. The prosecutor, who is the beau ideal of a generous, true hearted British tar, raid he was at present staying at No. 7, Strathmore-terrace, Shadwell. Ou the morn ning of Monday the Bth instant, he was in the Mahogany Dar public-house in \\reliclose-terrace, and met with the prisoner, who said ho was paid up and in great distress and could not get a ship. He relieved the lad and gave him a good supper and a pot of ale. Lie asked the prisoner what he meant to do, and he said he was quite destitute and must sleep in the streets. lie told the pri soner he would not allow him to do that, and took him home and gave him part of his bed, and also promised to get him a ship. The prisoner went to bed in the same room as himself, and got up in the morning early and crept out of the house, taking with him a watch, guard chain, silk neckerchief, and 15s. 9d. i❑ money, belonging to witness, who never saw the lad again until yesterday. Potter, a police-constable, No. 212 K, said he traced the prosecutor's watch'to a watchmaker in Southwark, who bought it of the prisoner, and he took the prisoner into custody yesterday in the neighbourhood of Ber mondsey. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, in a careless manner said he stole the prosecutor's watch, but not his money. Mr. Selfe—What are you The prisoner —I believe I am a seaman. Mr. Selfe—Do you plead guilty or not guilty The prisoner—l am guilty, sir. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner had robbed his kind and generous benefactor, and was a most ungrateful youth. He had no doubt whatever the prisoner stole the pro secutor's money and silk handkerchief as well as the watch and guard, and he sentenced him to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. The watch must be restored to the prosecutor. The watchmaker who bought the watch said be gave 11. 6s. for the watch. Mr. Selfe—Then you will lose your money. If you buy stolen watches you run a double risk of losing your money and your liberty. The watchmaker—The boy said he had the watch five years, and Old such a pitiable tale of distress and destitution that I was induced to buy it off him. Mr. Seife—lt may be a hard case on you, but it would be a much harder case on the prosecutor if he was to lose his watch of which he has been plundered. Give it up to him. The watch was then restored to its lawful owner.

The officer also stated that the prisoner wished it to be asked whether there was any one in court from Manchester or elsewhere who knew him. The question was asked, and the prisoner looked anxiously about the court, but there was no re sponse, and when he was told that there was no one present who knew him he appeared greatly disappointed and depressed, The bench otdered him to be remanded pro forma until Monday, and he was then removed from the dock, his expression and anguish betraying great mental anguish.
