.MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. • There is more demand for money to-day, and the rates in the open market, which last week ranged as low as 51, have risen to 6 per cent., owing to the advance i❑ the Bombay exchange and the prospect of larger exports of both gold and silver. The Tasmania, from the West Indies, has brought £366,650 in specie. Silver has advanced to 53. ld. f," per ounce stan dard, owing to the rise in the rate of exchange at Bombay. The accounts from the manufacturing districts ?e lating to the state of trade there during the past weez are highly satisfactory. The improvement in the cotton market had very favourably affected the price s for both yarn and cloth at Manchester; the reaction had also extended itself to Leeds, Bradford, H uddersfield, and Halifax, where the respective markets showed increased animation. Birming ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton exhibited no slackening in the great activity which has prevailed I ° all their departments for so long a time. At a special meeting he'd to-day of the share- holders of the Union Bank of Australia, Mr. It. Ilrooks, M.P., in the chair, the resolutions passed on the 11th inst. were confirmed, increasing the capital from £1,000,000 to £1,500,000, and for the I mmediate creation of 10,000 shares:of £25 each, to be issued to present proprietors pro rata at £45 Per share, a premium of £2O per share. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Relates were 66 f- 70c. Flat, in consequence of the new broc 7 iure l'eslodetiog England's refusal to attend the Con gress. decline of about I per cent. has taken place in the market for the English Funds, induced by t annetary and political prospects. Consols are 92 1, for transfer , and 90 ! for account. The ocialeswi g -H o l s t e in difficulty, the uncertainty felt regarding the Congress, exert an unfavourable in fluence, and at the same time the prospect of in creased exports of specie creates anxiety lest greater r et ringency should be experienced in discount circles. r he New Threes have been marked 901 ; the Reduc e d Annuities, 90!

The trade for English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and both red and white qualities sold at higher terms. Good and fine malting barley fully supported previous rates, and for oats, beans, and peas, including flour, the demand was steady, at full currencies. On the Continent the corn trade is firm, and prices have an upward tendency. At New York wheat, flour, and terrine have sold at enhanced rates, but the advance has not resulted from any material increase in the export demand. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderato. The imports from abroad amounted to 5,726 quarters of wheat, 18,534 barley, 7,638 oats, 1,535 beans, 3,496 tares, 9,339 linseed, 12,392 oil seeds, 240 sun dry seeds, 2,275 sacks and 1,781 barrels of flour. Fresh up to Mark-lane to this morning's market, the arrivals of English grain from Essex were very small, The receipts from Kent were also much resti icted, and the con dition of the produce was, on the whole, tolerably good, Both for red and white qualities the trade was very firm, and, compared with Monday last, an advance of fully Is per quarter took place in prices> Very superior wheats were held at 2s per quarter more money ; but this improve ment was realised in very few instances. A clearance of the supply was readily effected. . . . The supply of granaried samples of foreign wheat was moderate, and the show of produce ex ship was small. Red American wheats sold freely, at an advance in prices from Monday last of is to 2s per quarter. White American wheat—the quality of which is still indifferent—realised is per quarter more money, and all other descriptions were Is par quarter dearer than on this day so'nnight. Flowing cargoes of wheat ruled firm, and an advance of quite is par quarter. The value of other kinds of grain, afloat, had an upward tendency. _ _ _ The supply of barley was tolerably large. Good and fine making parcels moved off steadily, and prices ruled firm; otherwise, the barley trade was dull, yet no quotable change took place in the currency. _ . About an average business was transacted in malt, at [ate rates. With oats the market was scantily supplied. Buyers being indisposed to operate beyond their immediate wants, the trade was rather quiet, but all qualities fully supported the recent improvement in their value. Ths supply of beans on sale was only moderate, and the trade ruled firm. The prices realised for Mazagans showed an advance of ls. per quarter from the late lowest point; but in the 'Aces of other descriptions, no alteration took place. Peas—the supply of which was in a great measure con fined to home- grown produce—ruled firm at extreme rates. For flour there was a steady demand, and prices had an upward tendency. Extra State barrels realised 225. 6d. , and superior Ohio brands, 265., being an advance of 3s. per barrel from the recent low currency. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The beasts came to hand in middling con-. dition ; but the quality of the sheep and calves was good The demand ruled steady, and prices had an upward tendency. _ _ Fron► our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up exhibited a demand when compared, with; several previous weeks. The supply from Ireland and Scotland was moderate for the time of year, and the general quality of the stock was by no means fir.t-rate. Some of the beasts from Scotland, however, were in prime condition. Nearly all breeds commanded a steady sale, at an advance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per Ms, and at which a good clearance was effected. The best Scots realized 5s 2d per 81bs. _ _ From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,000 shorthorns, &c.; from Norfolk, 200 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 170 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers. _ _ The show of sheep was limited as to number, but the quality of most breeds was good. The mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, prices advanced 2d per Sibs, The beet Downs and half-breds realized 5s 10d per 81bs, without difficulty. The supply of calves was small, and the veal trade was firm, at 2d per 81bs more money. The top figure was 4s 10d per 8113 s. _ _ There was an improved inquiry for pigs, at elightly enhanced rates. s. d. s. d.

The witnesses examined up to the time of our going to press merely deposed to those facts already known. It was generally expected that the in quiry would be adjourned, in order to allow further time for a minute examination of the manner in which the building was carried on. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. The adjourned November sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor Recorder, and Sheriffs. _ . There arc 115 prisoners for trial. The!Recorder, in:charging the Grand Jury, said the num ber of prisoners awaiting trial was not more than usual, considering the time that had elapsed since the adjournment of the court. The cases were all of the ordinary description. There were two charges of child murder, in which the question they would have to deal with was, whether the children were born alive. There was also an iniictment against a person named Shorter, who stood charged with attempting to poison a young woman, and another against a person named Blundell, who was indicted for attempting to drown a boy in the river Thames, but the evidence did not present any peculiarity, and there fore he need not detain them from the commencement of their duties. The grand jury then retired. THE CHARGE OP LIBEL AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. Mr. Poland made an application to the Recorder to allow the removal of this case by certiorari to the Court of Queen's Bench. The court granted the application. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST. A TRADESMAN. A respectably dressed man, named Harris, carrying on the business of a tailor at Brentford, was charged with stealing a £5O note, the property of Mr. Abrahams. The facts of the case were somewhat strange. Tho pro secutor resided in the house of the prisoner, and for upwards of 12 months be had in his possession ,e £5O note, which he kept in a pocket-book locked up in a wardrobe. From time to time trifling articles of wearing apparel were miss ing from the place, and eventually, two soya having been stolen, he obtained a patent lock and put it upon the wardrobe, his £5O being quite safe at this time. Shortly after lie found that the £5O note had been taken from the pocket-book, the number of the note which had been entered in the book altered, and a £5 note substituted in its place. On the £5 note the name of " Coles" was written, and also the name of W. Jones, Staines, on the £5O note, bath of which, it was believed, were in the handwriting of the prisoner. The prisoner had some time before the prosecutor discovered his loss asked him to oblige him with a loan, and in a few days after the prisoner was known to have paid to Messrs. Bull and Wilson, the wholesale woollen drapers, a bill of £36. Witness having deposed to the similarity of the prisoner's handwriting R ith that on the notes, Farmer, a detective in the metropolitan police, said he went into the Bank of England on the Bth of October and obtained the cancelled £5O note produced. He went to the prisoner's shop and Mr. Abrams and Mr. Wyburn being present, he told the prisoner a £5O note had been stolen and that he had a few questions to put to him to which he might answer if he tho u g ht proper.

Mr. Bent, superintendent of the Waterloo Station, said that there was no quarter past 1 train to Hampton. The trains were a quarter past 12 and 2 o'clock. the jury. 3 T l h r. e .

A WIFE STABBED BY HER HUSBAND.—Charles Henry Thornton, an engineer, living at 8, Market-street, Fitzroy market, was charged before Mr, Knox with feloniously cutting and wounding his wife, Caroline Thornton, with intent to her some grievous bodily harm. Inspector Garforth, of the E division, attended to watch the case. The prosecutrix, whose head was enveloped in surgical bandages, said—l am the wife of the prisoner. A little before 11 on Saturday night I had a quarrel with my husband and to)lc up a knife, and he took it from me and cut his finger. There was a little girl in the room, but I do not know what occurred. I went down stairs with my head bleeding and was taken to the hospital. Mr. Kuox—Had you been drinking ? Prosecntrix—We had. Isabella Thornton, about 11 years of age, and the daughter of the parties, said—l was in the roo m with toy parents, hut I don't know whether' they had been drinking. They had a few words, and my mather up a knife as t h at ' my father s hould not, and he then took it from my mother. My mother called " murder" out of window, and my father hit her with his fist first and then the light went out, b e i ng knocked down, and my fath er then hit my mother with the knife. Mr. Knox—How do you know ? Witness—Because there is a light opposite. Mr. Knox—Where did he hit your mother with the knife P Witness—On the head. Mr. Knox—Did your mother fall? Witness—Father pushed her over, but did not strike her again with the knife, but he did with his fist when she called "murder." Mother then went downstairs, and I went for a policeman. Charles Frost, 163 E, said—l was called by the last witness to the house at half-past 12 on Saturday night, and found the prosecutrix sitting on the door-step, bleeding very much. At first I thought it was from her throat, bat I feund it was from the head. A constable who was there took the prosecutrix to the hospital, and I went upstairs to the prisoner, and on telling him that his wife was taken to the hospital, he said "It is as much her fault as mine." I found a knife on the table, and a cloth, with which it had evidently been wiped, there being marks of blood upon it. Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner drunk? Frost—He was. Robert Pitt, 171 E, deposed—l was called to the house, and, finding the prosEcutrix smothered with blood, I, with the assistance of some costermongers, took the prosecutrix on a barrow to the University College Hospital, where the doctor stated the prosecutrix had received a severe wound on her head, which he believed had been inflicted with some blunt instrument. Mr. K aox—l shall remand the prisoner for a week, and the surgeon at the hospital can then be in attendance. It appears that the parties lead a very quarrelsome life. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—Honry Helfer, a respectable looking young man, was placed at the bar, charged with embezzling the sum of 15s. 9d., received by him for his master. Samuel Cresswell said that he was cashier in the service of Mr. John Grammer, 125, Brompton- road, provision merchant, and that prisoner had been in his employment as shopkeeper and porter. , It was part of his duty to carry out goods and receive money, which he should account for immediately upon his return home. On the 15th October prisoner was sent to Mr. Baker, a customer, with goods, amounting to 15s. 9d., for which he never accounted. Prisoner—lt was not me who took the money. I can assure your worship if you examine into the matter closely you'll find that to be so. Mr. Selfe—When was it ascertained that the money had been embezzled ? Witness —Only a few days ago. I thought it very strange that Mr. Baker's bill was not paid, and I sent another bill for these same articles, and then I found that the money had been previously paid. Mr. Selfe—ls there any one here from Mr. Baker's ? Witness —There is. Mr. Selfe—ls there any receipt produced ? Witness—Yes, but it is in the name of Staker. Mr. Selfe—Had you any man of that name in your em ployment ? Witness—Yes, we had. Prisoner—You'll find I'm as innocent as a child. I would not mind undergoing 20 years' penal servitude if guilty, but it is very hard to be here for nothing. I never took the goods to Mr. Baker's, and I never took the money. Miss Baker said—l paid the bill in question, and produce pencil " J. St a k er, " as you see, the receipt. It is signe d in sir. Mr. Salle —To whom did you pay it ? Miss Baker—To a fair young man like the prisoner, but I cannot say it was him. Prisoner—You'll find it was not me. Mr. Selfe--Does any one know Staker's writing ? Police—He is here himself. J. Staker said—The signature to the bill is not my writ ing. Some of the letters of the signature are unlike it. Miss Baker—Staker is not the man—it was a fair man. Mr Selfe—Have there been any other young men who have been in the habit of going to Mr. Baker's. Miss Baker—At different times we have had different persons come with goods. Mr. Selfe—ls Staker still in your employ ? so has th e p r i soner. Mr. Grammer — N o, he has left me, Mr. Selfe, to pri soner —l must remand you, but will take one surety in £2O for your appearance. THAMES. DIE WILD SPORTS OF TYE EAST.—Anna Lyons, aged 26, 7, Russell-court, Blue Anchor-yard, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting Mary Monroe, an elderly woman, in the same place, who cane into court with her head bandaged and in a very wea kl y condition from the loss of blood. It appeared there was a quarrel between the two women, who dwelt in an Irisb colony, where rows have been very frequent and plenty of wounds have been inflicted by the people upon each other. In the course of the scrimmage, as it was called, the prisoner struck the prosecutrix several times on the head and face with a stone and rendered her insensible. Mr. John Domley, surgeon, High-street, Whitechapel said he had dressed the wounds of the prosecutrix. She lot a large quantity of blood. There was a triangular shaped wound on the forehead penetrating to the bone, and a second wound near it not a serious one. There were also contusions on the face. Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial, Mary Sullivan was charged with assaulting and wound ing Mary Toomey. The parties live in another Irish colony, Garden-curt, Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, where there have been many savage affrays. The magistrates have either punished the parties engaged in these encounters severely, or committed them for trial; but without discouraging the quarrelsome disposition of the inhabitants. The parties, Sullivan and Toomey, two strapping Irishwomen, quarrelled and fought. Mrs. Toomey got the worst of it ; but this was not all. The prisoner, elated with the victory over a vanquished opponent, obtained an earthenware jug, and struck Mrs. Toomey a tremendous blow on the head with it. She re ceived a severe wound, and was carried to the London Hos pital. She now appeared with the head-dress of the Hos pital—bandages with the name of that valuable institution painted in large capitals thereon. The prisoner, in defence, said that Mrs. Toomey took up a knife and threatened to stab her; and produced. a very large knife without a handle, of which Howland, an officer of the Court, No. 89 H, touk possession. Mr. Woolrych believed some provocation had been given. There was, however, no doubt a brutal assault had been committed. He sentenced the prisoner to six months im prisonment and hard labour. LIFEBOAT SERVICES .—HAUXLEY, NORTIIUMBER• LAND, Saturday Night.—The schooner Theophilus, of and for Aberdeen, coal laden, went upon the Bond icai Busk Rock the night before last. The wind at the time was blowing strong, and there was a heavy sea, the weather dull and foggy. Some fishing cobles attempted to reach the vessel but failed; thereupon the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was launched and succeeded in bringing ashore the schooner's crew of five men in safety. This valuable lifeboat had on previous occasions rescued the following shipwrecked crews:—Brig Sophie, of Oporto, 11 men ; schooner Georgians, of Inverness, 5 ; schooner Susan and Isabella, of Dundee, 5; schooner Prospect, of Berwick, 6 ; schooner Little Aggie, of Berwick, 4; and schooner Theo philus, of Aberdeen, s—total lives saved, 36. It is currently believed that the A d m iralty, in in n anticipation of some of the recommendation s of 3fstence Walpole's Committee being carried out by th e P cl eUsding in of some of its members, have decided wog the forthcoming Navy Estimates a certain sumr w s h ._ ich ,r is to —Army be devoted to the increase of pay of naval office Ad and Nary Gazette. nIIE AT LIVERPOOL AMERICAN MAIL STEAMERS s are due at THIS WEER,—The following ste f r a fm e Canada and the Liverpool this week with m ails, last boat of the season United States :-1 he B o herniatt ,S ; c : l i on Wednesday next, from Quebec, is duo at Londonderry r the Edinburgh, from with dates from Quebec on the 21st New York on the 21 s t, also d u o at Queenstown on the same day.

The first bid was £1,500, from which a succession of advances carried the price up to £3,000, at which point competition ceased, and the vendors exercised their right of bidding by advancing another huudrad, up m which no further bid was made, and the property was cc:h• sequently declared still for sale by private coutrtwt. BARNSLEY, Nov. 28.—The collieries throughout the whole district of South Yorkshire are in full operation, and many of them are doing as much business as possible to meet the demand not only of the metropolitan but provin cial markets. The greatest activity is manifested in the trade, and coal merchants generally are preparing or stock ing their yards for the winter. The demand to Hull via, Keadby is as good as it has been for some time, and there is a fair inquiry both for house and steam coal. For Decem ber the prices are as follows :—Old Silkstones, 7s 9d and 85. per ton at the pit mouth; gas coal, unscreened (Silk stone), 6s 9d and 7s per ton ; steam coal, 6s ; malting coke, 6s ; Silkstone house coal, 7s to 98; and other descriptions of house coal runs as low as 4s 9d per ton. Locomotive coke without change in [nice. BIRMINGHAM, 28th.—The trade of this town is in a very healthy state ; with the exception of the gunmakers and some branches of the fancy trades the manufacturers are all of them well employed. In the course of the last fortnight orders have come in freely on account of the country trade. The factors' travellers are doing well both in the manufac turing and agricultural districts, and have sent home better filled order-sheets of late than they have done for the last three or four years at this season. For the class of hard ware goods which are in general domestic use there is a steady demand—in some instances manufacturers have a month's orders on their books—these, with such as may come in hereafter, will keep our trade brisk up to the end of the quarter. The export trade is reported quiet, but there are grounds for the belief that the orders in hand are not below the average at this period of the year. In reference i t a oparticular branches there has not been much change of late—the dracers,the e r d o g ll e in_ r g o - o m i millaskaerree, loww al h l o o l nat . fu a l r l e ti m m e e n , n a f n e d otu th r e ere w ,a i n r d e tinplate workers, aro all of them doing a good trade. BRADFORD, 28 th.—There is a fair quantity ofwool changing h a nd s . P rices in all classes i lassesaremaintained with tended to create a b e tt er fedi great firmness.

The business chiefly confined doing in worsted yarns is The continentalned to the home de mand and for Scotland. • o e xercise great caution in the present stateunsettlmederch an o t merchants, , whGer many and Denmark, refrain from doing any new business. little which S p i nner s, however, are well employed on contracts will not expire for some time to come. There is ttle new business doing in fabrics . P lain goods are not indemand, and the business doing is confined to all kinds of fan c y arti cles. Fancy manufacturers are very busy. Stocks are low. Prices are hardening. DUNDEE, 27th.—The demand for flax was not active to day, but sellers are very firm, and the few transactions re ported are at fully previous prices. Common tow and co dilla are quiet and easier to buy, but medium and fine are in good request, at steady rates. The fall in the price of jute in London on Wednesday has for the present checked the demand here, and, excepting for the finer qualities, which are wanted and scarce, the rates of last market day could with difficulty be got, Holders, considering that stocks are light and the demand for goods great, expect to see prices rally a little again, and do not press sales. Few par cels have therefore changed hands to-day. The yarn market was rather quiet, but spinners, especially of flax and tow yarns, are very firm, and as they are so largely foresoldthey can afford to look on for a little. Jute yarns have not to any appreciable extent gone back in prices with jute, but few of them were sold to-day, and if material keeps lower they may also give way a little, but no great fall can be looked for, so many spinners having orders to occupy them for months without further sales. There was a good in quiry for linens to .day, and prices are fully maintained. HALIFAX, 28th.—The closing market for the present month has been satisfactory. Though there is a little fall ing off in the business doing with Germany, the general con dition of the worsted, the carpet, and the woollen trades is sound and healthy. The manufacturers keep in steady employment, and neither yarns nor goods are much in ex• cess of the demand. Both the sales and the orders in the home trade are to a full average extent for the season of the year. Prices in general are well maintained, and those of wool keep very firm. HUDDERSFIELD, 28th.—There has been a little more business done in the woollen trade here this week than' last. Purchases, however, have been a good deal confined to small parcels of miscellaneous goods. Woollen and Bedford cords are still in fair demand, and the better qualities of plain and fancy trowserings are not difficult to sell. Spring goods are sought for, but, except where orders have been given to the manufacturers, chiefly as patterns. The shipping houses are not doing much, but as Canadian buyers are now coming over to look o it goods suitable for the early part of the en suing year, it is probable that an improvement in the ex port trade will soon take place. Though wools are purchased cautiously of the local brokers, prices keep very stiff. LEEDS, 28th.—There was quite as much business done in the woollen cloth-halls to-day as last Saturday. Indeed, there was a better attendance of buyers, but they purchased sparingly. In other respects the market was cheerful, the general expectation being that the year's business transac tions will b dance well, and that there will be a good demand for spring goods. There was a large quantity of tweeds sold to-day, both of the commoner and finer qualities. A mode rate business was also done in light meltons, but only very little in pilots and witneys. There is no change in the prices of either wool or goods. LEICESTER, 28th.—The hosiery trade is fully as active as it usually is at this season. In the country districts business is without material change, and the operatives are quite as well employed as they are generally at this ad vanced period of the year. Wools are selling at very high rates, and there is still a fair consumptive demand. The yarn-market is firm, and high rates are realized. MANCHESTER, 28th..--. A reaction set in early in the week in both yarn and cloth, and prices advanced about id per lb. on cop yarns up to 50's on Tuesday, with a fair business. Since Tuesday there has been more or less in crease of activity, with an improvement of fully id more in price. Shipping yarns have increased Id per lb during the week. Some of the largest agents report the advance of ld to 2d per lb on shipping, and 2d to 3d per lb on home-trade yarns, with heavy engagements for several months for ward. There is no doubt that a great deal of irregularity has prevailed. Some large orders have been waiting to be put in hand for several weeks past, and probably the sud denncss of the reaction in prices will account for the discre pancies. The irregularity is very great in all classes of yarns. Manufacturers have advanced their prices somewhat in the proportion of spinners, but they have not succeeded so well with buyers. There has been more business doing all week, but some of the fabrics most in request, such as 71b and 81b 4oz. 39 inch shirtings, are scarce in stock and difficult to meet with in quantity. Shippers who would take such goods if available for immediate shipment hesitate to give con tracts at the prices which would now be required to cover the increased cost of cotton and yarn. The stock of East In dian cotton has increased through recent imports to 186,000 bales (while there are still 165,000 at sea), and the total stock of all kinds is 259,000. A letter from a respectable cotton merchant who has gone from Liverpool to New Or leans, dated Nov. 4, speaks of cotton being sent forward more freely than hitherto from Natchez, Baton Rouge, and the Teche country, and thinks that 5,000 a week way be relied upon. The tone of his letter altogether is calculated to give a still more hopeful prospect. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, 28th:As we approach Christ was business gets a little quieter, but the general trade keeps materially good. There is a considerable demand for coke, and prices are improving.

THE CRAWLEY COURT-MARTIAL. ELEVENTH DAY. ALDERSHOT, Monday. The inquiry was resumed this morning by the cross examination of Dr. G. A. Turnbull by Colonel Crawley. Q. When did you make tho entry in the hospital case, book in which the erasure appears ? A. I made it on the sth of June, 1862. Q. How came it that on the sth of June you dated the entry for the 21st of May,? A, I entered the history of his case, including the days he had been detained in the hospital, I made the entry from memorandums I had .in my possession. Ido not know where those memorandums are. A long conversation teen took place as to Sergeant Major Wakefield's admission to the hospital, the general answer being that he w r a Te s e: rt ‘ hd ‘ eeddebitenasi best of e on d ly ' case'm y i n belief bookh o hospital, tteahrl the his time " forrid "admission" thei ss i 2 o s n t ' h ' not efMay.l,eing was no entry of Wakefield's' admission on the 25th of May. Colonel Crawley called my attention to the statement that Sergeant Major Wakefield had been sent to hospital on the 25th of May a raving maniac. Colonel Crawley complained that Wakefield's being in hospital on the 25th of May h a d not been notified to him. To the best of my recollection did not tell Colonel Crawley that I knew Sergeant Major Wakefield had never been in hospital 4t that time, nor that I could have told him if he had asked me at the time. I have answered some queries of Colonel Crawley about q Sergeant Majors Wakefield, Lilley, and Duval. l iin h ,h a ce v yo e lw boonethuestions and answers here. The questions were put i n, were h t c h er e ta worderlysigned h by y o n o d m cw er i il n tein t n h egl e . c p r r a e s w e i n e o f They Dr. D a w v e i r s e. The questions and answers were then read at length and examination continued— I did not send in the answers, as Col. Crawley requested, because he had my medical register,which I wanted to refer to. Colonel erawley sent me information that my medical re. gisters had been sent to Major General Farrell. I cannot say whether I took away the paper of questions to answer on the evening that the intelligence arrived that Colonel Crawley was to be tried by a court martial. Ido not know that Sergeant Major Lilley within an hour of his death drank nearly a tumblerfull of brandy. Considering his state at that time, if he did so, it would have bad an injuri ous effeot, but I cannot say whether it would have had a, fatal result, I last saw Mr. Smales a week ago in London. I received a communication from him last week, but I do not recollect the date. Ido not think it was after my exa. urination in this court. Ido not remember. Ite-examined by Colonel Sir A. Horsford—Colonel Crawley seemed annoyed, and replied in a harsh tone of voice, when I made application for the additional indul. gence I asked for the three sergeant majors. Colonel Charles Cameron Shute, 4th Dragoon Guards ' deposed that he knew the late Sergeant Major Lilley from .the time of his joining the regiment till two or three years ago, when he Colonel Shute) left, and considered him a thoroughly well-disposed good man. A lengthened adjournment for consultation resulted in Colonel Crawley being allowed to ask Colonel Shute whe ther he received a letter from the Commander in Chief, on or about the 30th of June, 1860, conveying a censure cn the state of the 6th Dragoons, which regiment Colonel Shute then commanded, and also of the state of the officers. Colonel Horsford objected unless the prisoners produced the letter en his evidence. Colonel Crawley said the letter was the possession of the Horse Guards, and therefore he cou ld not produce it, but if the prosecution could produce it, he would adopt it as part of his case. Colonel Sir A. Horsford stated that he had no such letter, and the prisoner, if the co urt thought the question re levant, could apply to t he ad j utant general tor the letter, and Colonel Shute could atten d again, and give evidence earn: in at e tandey p: rtshiovuDaetrreagpoa o r l it s andme t .h.i India,iemx e c ae hd exceeded dth theseis e 1 Shute a b, lettere g r g o e rw d ara t i n o t tdeonbrs bez observe iehnnieu itda never peehio‘n,esegendh read.adt h d r e a It dr ew h is hohte[Thet had h t u e n upr ol i o t i: last objection to state the contents of the letter. lie felt, at all events, he was not on his trial.

SHEFFIELD, 28th.—Trade here continues active in m ea t branches. The stove grate manufacturers are not quite fully employed. The crinoline trade is rather dull.
