" Sir,—Your letter, with the accompanying com ments of the ' Sheffield Foreign Affairs Committee' on my letter to the President of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce respectii:g the proposed change in our maritime law, has reached me here. I have already, in reply to a communication from Bradford, briefly ex plained the error into which you have both fallen in a,-suming that the abandonment of our ancient bellige rent rights was a voluntary act on our pact in favour of Russia. I have shown that it was the attitude assumed by the United States which led to the chance. It will not, I hope, be deemed disrespectful if Ire — 177. -. .

The acceptance in question was drawn by him, and accepted by Mr. Sadleir. He be lieved it was for railway carriages, &c. The Chief Baron—Were the bills accepted at a board of directors ? Witness—No, my lord. Mr. Hill—Was a book kept ? Witness—Yes. The directors met at a certain time, or when they chose, and examined the bill book. It was always in his possession. Mr. Hillier, the present secretary, was called and pro duced the bill books. Mr. Hollingsworth recalled—The board met on any day when there was business. The nominal day of meeting was Wednesday. The Chief Baron—Have you any books of the board's proceedings? Witness—One that was kept by Mr. Edmonds. Mr. Wilde—The book is here if it is wanted. Mr. Wilde—ls the bill book here ? Witness—No. The Chief Baron—Who bas it Witness—There were two bill books. The Chief Baron—One that was made public, and another that was made private ? Witness—No. The Chief Baron--Then, what is the meaning of it ? Witness—Our book was kept for the entry of those bills which were drawn for the payment of goods, and the other for bills drawn to raise money to be sent to Sweden—the money borrowed by Mr. Sadleir for the purposes of the company. Mr. Sadleir borrowed money for the company on his own authority. Mr. Hill—Have you the other bill-book here (the private one)? Witness—Yes. Mr. M. Chambers—lt is Sadleir's book ? Witness—l don't call it so. Mr. Wilde—lt is indorsed with his name. The Chief Baron—ls this bill of 7001. in that book ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Chambers—The book that has got Sadleir's name ,on it? Witness —lt was not there when I parted with it. I did not know the bill in question was for goads, and I therefore put it in that book. The bills from Swe den were drawn by the chairman alone. The bill-books I made up to the 17th of February, the day of Sadleir's death. Mr: Hill—Had you any conversation with Mr. Edmonds at any time respecting bills of Exchange ? Witness—Yes, occasionally. Mr. Hill—Do you remember that in December, 1855, in consequence of a message from Messrs. Masterman, you saw Mr. Edmonds ? Witness—Yes. I told him that Messrs. Masterman and Co. had sent for me, and informed me that the bills drawn and accepted by Sadleir alone on the directors could not be paid by them, but that they must have the signature of two other directors, and be countersigned by myself. Evidence was then given to show that a number of bills drawn in the manner objected to after that noti fication of Messrs. Masterman, were advised by the board, and the first advice of payment bore the names of J. Rhodes, one of the defendants, R. Gilman, J. Masterman, jun., and J. Sadleir, En g l is h di rec to r s. Mr. Crabbe, clerk to Messrs. Masterman and Co., produced the order for payment and the bill s r efer r i ng to them. The Chief Baron—Were you in the h'abit of paying the bilk without the names of twe directors ? Witness—No ; I think, however, I have a few. The Chief Baron—You had an order in each particular ease ? Witness—Yes. By the Foreman—Did you ever pay a bill without an order t Witness—No. The Chief Baron—Of course. Bankers don't conduct their business as variable as the wind blows, but on principle. Most of the bills with orders of payment were pro. Witness—Yes, and it was broken the next hour by Mr. Edmonds. After he received a copy of that order he saw Colonel Harvey, who informed him that the resolu tion meant nothing. Mr. Edmonds and Mr. Sadleir had had a little bit of a quarrel, which was then nearly made up, and it was no use stopping, but to go on, or the thing would be ruined. Mr. Chambers—How was the 7,0001. to be advanced by Messrs. Dunn and Co. ? Who first commenced that arrangement Witness—lt arose in consequence of Messrs. Fairbairn having threatened to break their contract for supplying locomotives. Mr. Sadleir sent for me, and I saw him at the offices in Cannon-street, in great anxiety. He produced MessreVairbairn's letter, and said " If they break down with their contract we are ruined, because we shall have no engines to go on the line." There are two or three engines on the line now. The Chief Baron—No first rate ones ? Witness—No. (Laughter.) Mr. Sadleir then re. quested me to go to Manchester and enter into fresh con bracts for engines. I then went to Manchester and entered into the arrangement with Messrs. Dunn and Co. They were to be secured for their advances by railway debentures, the same as Messrs. Fairbairn for the advance of 10,0001. Messrs. Fairbairn might be said to have given up their contract on Jan. 27. I had nego tiated with Messrs. Dunn and Co. before that,' fearing what would happen. I made the contract with Messrs. Dunn and Co. on the 28th of January. Mr. Sadleir had 10,0001. from Messrs. Fairbairn as well as 3,5001. from Messrs. Dunn and Co. The mode was to draw on Sadleir, who accepted the bills and got them discounted. Witness received a commission on his contracts of about 2i per cent. It was allowed by the company, who only paid him 1751. per year salary, out of which he had to provide an office and a clerk. The Chief Baron—Were you allowed a commissio% on the amount of your purchases ? Witness—l was. The Chief Baron—lt is a very bad mode of paying people. Witness—There were not two contracts drawn up in reference to Messrs. Dunn and Co.—one with the money advanced in it, and the other without it. The Chief Baron—Was it the usual way for advances to be made by drawing on Sadleir? Witness—Yes. They drew bills for 7,0001. The Chief Baron—And Sadleir discounted them ? Witness—Oh, yes. It was done in the usual way. When I joined the company great confidence was re posed in Mr. Sadleir, who then was owed 9,0001. by the company. Several witnesses were called to show the usual way in which the bills were drawn by Sadleir, and afterwards paid ; but the learned judge ruled it was not evidence in this case. Mr. Hollingsworth was then recalled, and said that he made out the list of bills owing by the company, pro duced by Mr. Braithwaite at the request of Mr. Ed monds. Foreman's bill for 17,0001., and another bill, the parties refused to take without the signa ture of other directors to them than Sadleir, but Mr. Edmonds refused to put his name to them. Mr. Edmonds was n Sweden in June. 1855, when Sadleir first drew the bills and accepted them in the name of Self and Co., directors. The con tract with Messrs. Dunn, and Co., was not known out side the board-room. The directors met between 28th January and 17th February, when Sadleir died. The bills from Sweden were signed by the Chairman only, and were made payable at the office of the company. The Chief Baron—Were signed by the Chairman for the company ? Witness—Yes. By Foreman—When you say at the office whose money were they paid by ? Witness —By Sadleir. He provided one with funds sometimes by check on the bankers signed in the usual way by two directors, and at others by money furnished by himself. Generally by money furnished by himself. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Wilde submitted there was no evidence against, his client to go to the jury ; but the learned judge over ruled it. The learned Judge, however, said there was no case against Mr. Rhodes. Mr. Wilde then addressed the jury for Mr. Edmonds. He said it was plain that this company was managed t t a e n rs were transacted by him. It a pp eared that in June d l y eir s . ad T e h ir a , t a S n a d d iei r that was all the pecuniary company, ma t b h y e M c o L m S p a a d n Sadleir adopted the plan of si g nin g the bills in the form of the one in question without an y authorit y . He called Mr. Edmouds, who depose d that he was a director of June, 1855, Sadleir drew on the c om p an y and acce p ted the company from Feb., 1854, ti ll A p ril, 1856. U p to by himself the bills so drawn for goods supplied to the company. He was not aware until after Sadleir's death that he had drawn bills and signed them for Self and Co., directors. He had no knowledge that the list of bills put in by Mr. Braithwaite were otherwise than for goods supplied. He had no knowledge of the existence of two bill books. He gave no authority to Sadleir to sign the bills, and had he known it at the time he should have objected to it. He called on Mr. Sadleir and asked him to join the company. The learned counsel having replied on the evidence, His lordship summed up, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff as against Edmonds, and for the defend. ant as against Rhodes. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. —Dec• 18 John Curtis, N EW COURT. d con victed of stealing post letters, were brought e ) who stood William P ( h ß le e l f a o n r : up for judgment, a nd severall y sentenced to four y ears' penal servitude. G M e r o . rg J e u a r ti e c r e n C ee r , o w an d d er. Alexander Stainburg, 32, merchant, and Chas. Hamil• ton Collins, 56, merchant, were indicted for obtaining, by false pretences, an order for the payment of money and bills of exchange, valued at 1,5001. of John Deporter. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. J. P. Doyle were for the prosecu tion ; and Mr. Sergeant Parry, Mr. Robinson ' Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, and Mr. F, H. Lewi s for the defendants. His lordship, after bearing some remarks from Mr. Parry, said that he thought the case one in which no end would be answered by the prosecution being proceeded with, and his brother judge entertained the same opinion. Mr. Sleigh said that, acting entirely upon his lord- ship's opinion, he should abstain from offering any evidence, and an acquittal was taken. Patrick Williams and Charles Macarthy, two boys, aged 12 and 15, were brought up for sentence, being convicted of placing certain bricks and other things upon the line of the North London Railway. Mr. Justice Crowder, in passing sentence of six months' imprisonment, said he was sorry he had not the power to add a flogging to it. Ludwig Thies, 22, soldier, was indicted for cutting and wounding Henry Moles. Thera was another indictment for a like offence upon Jo h Warren. The case occupied a considerable length of time, in consequence of the whole of, the evidence having to be interpreted into German. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. " Sir,—l am a returned convict released on a ticket-of leave on the Bth October last.

Mr. Bingham immediately called the writer forward, and questioned him. It appeared that the plaintiff had been tried for burglary at Durham and had been sen tenced to transportation, He bad been in Millbank Prison for some time, and was discharged with about 4 /. in cash and a ticket of: leave. From that time he had wandered about seeking work, but beyond an occasional r job he could find none to g ive him employment.

Russell, alias Jones, was charged before Mr. Long with burglariously breaking out of the Duke of York public-house, Great Maryle honc-street, having previously concealed himself with the intention of steal►ng therein the property of Mrs. Anne Young, the landlady. Police-constable Thorne, 363 A, said that about two o'clock that morning he was on duty in Great Marylebone-street, when, while passing the Duke of York, he observed three men lurking in front of the house. The men, on seeing him, went away. As they left he saw a light inside in motion. He crossed over to the house, when he heard s ,me one unbolting the door, who proved to be the prisoner. He looked out of the door. He saw witness, who pushed the door back. The prisoner tried to close the door. Witness was successful in forcing it open, and he seized hold of the prisoner by the collar. A determined re sistance was made by the prisoner. Witness eventually overpowered him and took him into the street. Some policemen came to witness's assistance. Witness sent two of them after the three men, but they could not be found. Mr. Long—Did the prisoner make any statement ? Witness—When I first saw him he observed that he was a lodger. I called upon the son of Mrs. Young, who said he did not know the prisoner. I found a jemmy, with which two doors in the house had been forced open. _ . His lordship directed a sum of 101. to be given to the injured man Moles, and 21. to the one who took the knife from the prisoner. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Samuel Leigh Booth, 24, chemist, pleaded guilty to several indictments charging him with having obtained by false pretences from J. 3. Dew and W. N. Brown various sums of money, and from H. Stringer oil and other goods of the value of 301. 18s. 6d. Mr. Orridge, who prosect.ted, said that for months the prisoner had been, by false representations, carrying on this system of fraud, not only here, but in various parts of the country, and had been convicted at Chester and Derbyshire of such frauds. The Court sentenced him to 4 years' penal servitude. As the prisoner was leaving the dock some one stepped into the witness-box, and begged tbat a fashionable paletot, which prisoner then had on, might be given up to him, as prisoner had got it by false pretences and not paid for it. The Recorder directed it to be returned. Herbert Edgar Stanbridge, 23, a fashionably-attired B IRTOS. Or A SOS. . fe of JO On the 17th inst., at 1, H' hbury-park, the Nri Dewar, Esq.

SIR COLIN CAMPBELL—At Pembroke Dock the fol lowing amusing incident occurred a few days ago : The veteran general, with the great desire of getting through his business, naturally began the day e arly, and with this intention, on Saturday, proceeded to the Defensible Barracks a little before nine o'clock, and, to his great surprise, found the officer of the day calmly ensconced in the arms of Morpheus. His arrival putting all on the qui vive, every possible exertion was made to find some officers to receive him, but, owing to the greater part of them being absent at the hunt hall at Haverford west, the general was obliged to wait patiently but suddenly perceiving a lieutenant in sight completing his toilet, he immediately signalled him, and gave him a sharp lesson, particularly calling his attention to the be• refits of early 'ising.—Glasgoto Daily Mail.
