To-day was appointed for hearing arguments in this pro tracted case. The evidence has already been fully given. Learned counsel now appeared on behalf of the respective parties, and Messrs. Hart Brothers, accountants, to give any required explanation of the accounts filed. It is generally understood that the addresses of counsel will not be concluded to-day. Before the other commissioners there was no case of the slightest interest. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before the Deputy Judge.) MPORTANT CASE UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY ACT THOMAS V. PICARD. This was an action to recover £8 15s. 6d f expenses of putting up a quantity of watches for auction sale, at the alleged request of defendant. Mr. Kemp, instructed by Mr. Billing, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pearce, by Mr. J. R. Bailey, for the de fendant. Mr. Kemp having stated the case, called. the plaintiff, who said, I am an auctioneer, in partnership with my brother, in Basinghall- street. I have been bankrupt. My certificate has been granted, but suspended. I met Mr. Picard, and he said he had 400 or 500 watches to dispose of, and he thought selling them by auction would be a good plan. I replied "yes," and told him my terms. At his request I went to his place and saw a case containing 60 or 80 watches. The proof bill was then sent to defendant, and finally the sale was appointed to take place upon a cer tain day. Three or four days before the day of sale I re. ceived a communication from the defendant that he had heard I was an uncertificated bankrupt, and he would not have anything to do with me. Plaintiff was cross-examined with a view to showing that be had forced himself upon the defendant, mad that he had never been instructed by defendant, but plaintiff was firm to his exa m inatio n in Alef, and a witness was called in support of it. Mr Pearce then contended that plaintiff was not in a position to sue, being uncertificated, and called defendant, who gave a very different version of the affair. He deposed that he never instructed plaintiff to sell, and said that he had been warned against plaintiff. His Honour, in nonsuiting plaintiff, said he could not give a positive opinion upon the question of absence of cer tificate, but his own opinion was that plaintiff being uncer tificated was not in a po s iti on t o recover. _ _ Mr. Thomas said the fact of his being in partnership would legitimatise the transaction. His Honour was of opinion that plaintiff was not in a position to recover, but would nonsuit him, so that plaintiff might, if he pleased, have the opinion of a jury as to the facts. Nonsuited, with costs. POLICE IN7L'LLI9_ENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY AT TRADESMEN'S SHOPS.— Mary Barton, a short female, attired in black, was charged as follows : Strutt, 63 C, said that a little before six the previous evening he was called into the shop of Mr. Webb, cheese monger, Oxford-street, and told that the prisoner had stolen a piece of lard off the counter, and put it into her apron, and the shopman, in his presence, took it out. He (the constable) also found in her apron two pieces of mut ton and a piece of bacon, 611bs. weight altogether. On asking her where she got them from, she at first said that Mr. Jeffries, of Foubert's-place, gave it her ; but after • wards that it was given her by a lady in the street, and after that contradicted herself again. On searchiag her at the station he found in her pocket a quarter of a pound of whole pepper, and in her month a half-pound brass weight ! She gave her address at 36, Great Wild-street, but on going there he found she was not known. Mr. Beadon said that further inquiries might be made. He would remand her for a week. BEGGING NOT SUCH A BAD TRADE.—A boy named John Thomson, who said he lived in St. Ann's, Westmin ster, and was stated to be a regular visitor to Bond -street for the purpose of begging, was charged with begging. In his pocket was found 4s. 91d., and three soup tickets. Mr. Beadon committed him for 14 days, and ordered the money found on him to go towards the keeping of him while in prison. THAMES. RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS ON THE RIVER AND IN THB Docxs.—Mr. Yardley inquired of a London Dock constable if business was resumed there, and the officer replied that all the permanent labourers in the employ of the company were set at work, and a great number of extra labourers had also been started at work on the various quays and warehouses, and that business was commenced at seven o'clock this morning, a circumstance which had not occurred for a long time past. He believed there would Lo ka2.ao6, ...pa It. 1... 4.1, +La. 0. 0 Na 0000. tlaAac.

THE SHERWOOD hIDNAPPING CASE. The Sherwood kidnapping case came again before the Queen's Bench yesterday. An application was made on behalf of M'Robins, who had been com mitted to the Marshalsea, that he should be allowed copies of his answers to the interrogatories. The court were of opinion that it would be time enough to apply when the parties on the other side moved t o set the matter down for argument. This motion was made at a later period of the day, and copies of the answers were then granted. A MODERN JACK SHEPPARD.—Yesterday, at the Midland Sessions, Thumas Andrews, aged 22, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for an attempted burglary. The prisoner had but a short time ago effected his escape from Newcastle Gaol, and on being taken to the House of Detention he informed the Governor that, if he discovered a nail, he would be out of the house in three hours. The Judge informed the prisoner that, at the ex piration of his sentence, he would be tried on several other charges. OLD OFFENDERS.—Yesterday Mr. Payne sen• tensed two young men, named Johnson and Cooper, to six years' penal servitude for pocket picking. Against the former there were no less than eleven previous convictions, and nine against the latter. CRIME AND PROSECUTION ALLOWANCES.—In his charge to the grand jury of Falmouth, on Monday, the Recorder, E. W. Cox, Esq., congratulated them upon the general decrease of crime apparent throughout the country, attributable, as he believed, to two causes ; first, and mainly, to the general prosperity ; and secondly, to the invaluable efforts of the ragged schools and reformatories in snatching children from the trade of crime, in which otherwise they would have been educated. Criminals were of two classes ; there was, first, the professional criminal, who followed crime as a business : that class was little affected by acci dental circumstances, and there was no hope of reforming them, and their numbers could only be reduced by the vigi lance of the police in detecting and prosecuting them, and by cutting off the supply of juveniles by whom their ranks were recruited. But beyond these there was a margin of criminals who were not such professionally, but from acci dental circumstances, as sudden temptation, and too often the pressure of want. It was upon this class that circum stances operated so powerfully to reduce or increase their numbers. Here it was that the efforts of the preacher and teacher were most successful, and here above all it was that the effect was seen of good wages and moderate prices of food. These blessings we had been enjoying during the year just closed, and we see the result in a great decrease in the number of crimes against property committed by the labouring class. He hoped that the spread of education and the greater zeal of all sects in the diffusion of religious truths had contributed much to this gratifying result ; but when he turned to the newspapers and read day by day the astounding revelations of fraud in the commercial world, he was forced reluctantly to the conclusion that the effect of education had been rather to change the character of crime than to diminish the amount of it, substituting the safer course of plunder by fraud, for plunder by the clum sier methods of larceny; and it was much to be regretted that the law did not extend to punish the trader who cheats by thousands of pounds at least as severely as it punishes the boy who picks a pocket of a shilling. But, from all the intelligence that reached him from all parts of the country, he was satisfied th a t the diminution in diminutioncontrary,e of crime. On th was quite certain that the small allowan c es and witnesses had the effect of inducingcin inflicted upon them g per sons to a robbery than incur tie furtherso it leas wa s with witnesse s ; by prosecuting the offender. they would not see a cr i me when the c \ o v n h s i e c q h u t e o n c m e sa many seeng were to mulct th em in heavy costa, of them was ruin. Judges, grand juries, m ag i s t ra t es and the police w ere unanimous in denouncing the pre sent inadequate scale of allowances as a positive impedi ment to the a dministration of justice, and as offering a direct encouragement to the criminal class by the impunity it secured for them. His own experience as a magistrate entirely coincided with that of all others who had witnessed the operation of the existing scale, and he trusted that it would be strongly pressed upon Parliament as soon as it shall reassemble. He feared the year now opening to them would test to some extent how far the diminution in crime is due to improved morals, or to plenty of work and food; for high prices are certain, and there are gathering storms abroad that might seriously affect our industry. Should it please Providence to impose that tri a l upon us, he hoped that they would ,all in their several spheres exert themselves to meet it in a becoming spirit. He congratulated them that, even among the popu lation of such a great and growing port as theirs, two months had produced only one prisoner for trial. AN IMPERIAL SKATING PARTY. A Paris correspondent writes, under dcte of Saturday evening :—" Last night I had the luck to be present at a grand Court skating match by torelhight. In Paris the streets were muddy ; it was supposed a thcided thaw had set in, the ice on the lake in the Bois de Boulogne was pronounced unsafe—it was, as I ascertained myself, watery oa the surface, and net a soul was to be seen upon it. But beyond the Longchamps race-course, and on the banks of the Seine, near M. de Rothschild's splendid villa, and just opposite Suresne, there is a meadow studded w i t h pretty clumps of high trees, which was ov er fl owe d during the late floods, and which, although the thermometer had risen to a shade above z e r o , s till presented a smooth coating of solid ice, there being scarcely any water under neath. At this spot the Emperor, with as much secrecy as possible, had made a rendezvous for 10 o'clock at night. The great Godilot, undertaker of public rejoicings, hung the branches of the trees with handreds of Chinese lanterns, and serving men, as numerous as those peasants who erst walked all night long up and down the ponds about the Hovel palaces to prevent the frogs from waking the Kings of France, promenaded the frozen meadow with lanterns fixed on their heads. Besides this constant illumination, there was an intermitt en t suc cession of Bengal fire and fizzing torches, which lighted up the scene al giorno. A body of men in white blouses--a special ice police—formed a cordon round the field of operations, and kept off those who were uninvited, but the crowd of spectators, though considerable, consisted mainly of the inhabi tants of St. Cloud, Suresne, and the neighbouring villages. The population of Paris knew nothing of thefete,and up to this hour neither the lifoniteur nor any other journal has said a word about it. As soon as the Emperor and the Court arrived the sport commenced in very business-like style. The Empress got into a sledge, and M. Hartogs, a Ger man gentleman, whose proficiency as a skater attracted the I mper i al not i ce two years ago, and who is now called at Court the Emperor's Aide-de- Camp de glace, had the h onour o f pus hi ng her Ma jesty on the ice. He took her along at railroad speed, and was out of sight of shore in less than a minute. The Empersr then put on his skates, and conducted the sledge of a lady whose name I could not learn. The Countess de Morny, enveloped in velvet and white furs, essayed her prowess, but was supported by two gentlemen, who gave her a hand on each side. The Princess Poniatowski went along very well by herself. In a short space. of time the ice was thickly studded with a host of chamberlains, generals, aides-de-camps, and even judges who h a d come w ith th e C ourt par t y to join in the fashionable amusement of the hour. The notion of coming to skate in a thaw was highly ap proved, for the night was by no means cold. The Emperor and Empress remained on the ice till half past 11. This afternoon, the frost in the meantime having returned with considerable intensity, the sport was resumed by the Imperial party at the same spot. M. Hartogs gave the Empress a pro menade in a beautiful sledge, which was sent for by telegraph from Germany, and only arrived this morning. Afterwards her Majesty ventured to skate, but only with the assistance of two gentlemen. She is not at her ease upon the ice, and, considering that she comes from sunny Spain, this is not to be wondered at. The Emperor is a very good skater. He does not attempt any tours de force, but he is perfectly master of his move ments. His wont is to go along rather slowly, and he stops frequently to contemplate the animated scene around him. Not the least etiquette is ob served on the ice. No clear space is kept about the Emperor or Empress. They go about just like any body else, and to-day, unlike last evening, every body without exception was allowed to skate at the same time with them. The Emperor had nothing whatever but his own adroitness to prevent him from being knocked over by the first tyro in the sport whose skates might run away with him. It was an interesting sight to see the master of so many legions, the mighty potentate upon whose mysterious breath tha fate of so many nations hangs, slipping about unpretentiously on the ice, no squire or even servant following him, and appa rently as much on an equality with the people about him as a carter is with a ploughman on an English farmyard pond. Once a young man, who saw the Emperor skating slowly along the middle of the lake, steered almost indiscreetly close to him and gave him the go by, with the evident intention of getting credit with the spectators for being the best skater. The Emperor then, without any ap parent effort, increased his speed, gracefully dis tanced his opponent by a few yards, and, contented with his victory, resumed the steady pace which, as I said before, he seems to affect. The frost is severe to-night, and should it continue the rage for skating will attain extraordinary proportions. Marry ale ornot - .. - tia IN hu has a good pair of skates, for the manufacturers cannot make them fast enough. The lake in the Bois de Boulogne is again in capital order. IBIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

TILE DROWNED WALLSEND COALFIELD.—A large and influential meeting of the coal owners of the north of England was held on Wednesday last at the Turf Hotel, Newcastle-on •Tyne, for the purpose of considering the de- • tails of a scheme for the drainage of the coalfield east of Newcastle, which is now under water. The chair was oc cupied, in the absence of Lord Ravensworth, by Mr. M. Bell, a largo colliery owner. Mr. T. J. Taylor, in laying before the meeting the scheme, stated that the coalfield eas t The ir of Newcastl e measure d a b out 30 square miles. w h ole of which was, i n m i n i ng l anguage, " d rowne d.': u Water thanator had been permitted t o accumu l a t e till it h a d risen in point of de 100 fathoms above th e hi g h ma i n seam , 8° that, in ground, fact, there was a l a k e o f 100 f a thoms P and the consequence w as that the high main only be worked e seam was en tirely submerged, while the lowenrisea by a system which, though inge n ious, was very uncert a i n .

It was th ere f ore propose d to drain a di s trict of 22,000 acres, bou n d e d b y th e ma i n d y k e on the n orth, the sea on th e eas t , an d t h e town o f Newcastle on those circumstances the west. This might be accomplished by placing drain ing engines at Jarrow, Howden, and other places in the district. They did not iced to . go to the bottom of the bas in all cases, but to intercept the feeders would do as well. He need not go into details, but, considering the vast amount of mineral wealth which was lying unemployed, he thought that they were fully justified in adopting a scheme, however extensive it was, which would utilise that wealth. In answer to various questions, Mr. Taylor stated that the quantity of water was so great in the pits that at Percy Main Colliery, before it was abandoned, 18 times more water than coal was raised at it. The sum which was re quired to carry out the proposed scheme was only £60,000, and the barriers of coal which were now left in the high main seam only amounted in themselves to more than double that sum. After several gentlemen had expressed their opinion respecting the proposed scheme, a committee of coalowners and others was appointed for the purpose of considering it and examining the bill to be presented to parliament in its favour. A PACK OF HOUNDS DESTROYED BY A RAILWAY TRAIN.—An accident which has caused the destruction of the Meath foxhounds i ook place on the line of railway be tween Naven and Kells on Wednesday. The mid-day mail train, which left Kells at 2.30 p.m., in coming on towards Naven, met the Meath hounds, which were a thet were time following a fox which crossed the line. Seven injuryad killed, and three wounded had to be killed. No been sustained by riders or horses.
