His Honour observed that there had been no stock taking ; and the bankrupt had gone on without making any nett profit. He had kept no cash book ; but as there was no opposition, a second-class certificate would be granted. IN RE BRADBURY.-,,CAPTURB OF A RUNAWAY BANKRUPT. The bankrupt, A. Bradbury, was a cheesemonger, of Holburn. He had absconded before the bankruptcy, taking with him above 2001. in money and goods. He had gone to Glasgow and paid 901. for the passage of himself and wife to Australia by a vessel called the Uncle Tom. Mr. Hamber, the messenger of this court, was sent in pursuit of the bankrupt, and went first to the Isle of Wight and afterwards to Liverpool, where the move ments of the fugitive were ascertained. The Uncle Tom, when a very short time out from Glasgow, was overtaken by the late severe storm, and, being dismasted, was com pelled to put into the harbour of Douglas, in the Isle of Man. The bankrupt took lodgings at a boarding-house, and was there found and captured by the messenger. About 1501. of the property was found in his possession. He now came up to surrender under the adjudication. His Honour said he had been guilty of a very improper and foolish act, but he hoped his future conduct would be satisfactory to the creditors. IN RE SUMMERS, This was the certificate meeting in the case of Philip Simmers, fancy printer and embosser, of Tabernacle walk. His accounts, prepared by Mr. Pettis, extended over twelve months prior to the sth of January last, and showed debts amounting to 2,475/., and assets about 1,050/. Mr. Lawrance supported. Mr. Matthews opposed, for the assignees, chiefly on the ground of excessive personal expenditure. His Honour granted a second class certificate. MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. E. Lamude, shopman to Messrs. Benson, jewellers, of Cornhill, was brought up for final examination, upon the charge of having obtained from Mr. Ward the sum of 3/. 10s. for a watch chain, under the false pretence that it was gold. The justice-room was crowded with members of the trade and gentlemen, who seemed to take a deep inte rest in the case. Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. Hum phreys, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. Hobler, for the defence. Mr. Parry, in stating how he intended to shape the case, the leading particulars of the evidence in which have been already published, said that Mr. Ward was the son of a highly respectable member of the Stock Ex change ; that Mr. Lamude, who sold the chain, was understood to be a skilful judge of the articles which the house disposed of, and, consequently, a person in a con dition of perfect responsibility, under the existing circum stances ; that the question before the bench must be felt to be of weighty importance, both to the prisoner and his employers, and that it would certainly have been much more desirable to have the latter in the place of the accused individual, who acted no doubt upon their authority and for their benefit. It had been, the learned counsel said, already proved that the article which had been sold was composed of very discreditable materials and ingredients; that although stated to be all gold, it was principally composed of base metal, and as the pri soner's employers could not by the force of the evidence be challenged with the offence, it was found necessary for the protection of the public, to adopt the alternative of proceeding against the servant. It was the intention to call before his lordship a party who had assayed the chain and found that two-thirds of it were base, and that one third alone had any intrinsic value. He would say, in the presence of the numerous tradesmen around, that the case decidedly was a case of fraud. If a tradesman sold, as the best silk, an article which was of silk, bu , t , inferior quality, then the doctrine of " caveat emptor might come in as to the judgment of the buyer ; but if that tradesman chose to sell for silk a piece of cotton or worsted, made up in imitation of silk, there could be no doubt of his criminal responsibility. The learned counsel then quoted " The King v. Ball," in which case the prisoner offered thimbles made of base metal as silver ; another case in which electro-plated articles were the cause of conviction, and in which Mr. Clarkson had been engaged, with himself and a third, in which the prisoner pawned rings as gold which had no claim to the character ; and he said he would show that Mr. Ward had been defrauded to a considerable extent. He did not ask the Lord Mayor to say that the prisoner was guilty, or that Messrs. Benson sold fraudulent articles; but he would say that it was most important to the trade and to the public, that goods should not be falsely ticketed, and that it was necessary to send the important question before another tribunal. Mr. Parry then said he had only one witness to add to those who had given evidence upon the first examination. Mr. Geo. Richard Johnson said—l am an assayer of bullion, and a partner in the firm of Johnson and Sons, of Nos. 6 and 7, Gresham-street, West. I received part of a chain—two links. It came in the name of Barber and Smith. I believe it was from Mr. Thomas. It was not confined to the two links. It was about an inch of the chain. I have assayed it. The part produced by Mr. Thomas appears to be part of the same chain. If a chain is brought to assay, I should take a link or two of it, considering that would be a fair sample of the chain. The chain was only assayed for gold, and therefore I can't tell what the alloy was— probably it was partly silver. The round links were assayed together, and the ornamental links in an other assay. I took them together because the vari ance was not very important, and did not amount to more than four shillings an ounce. I found this gold chain fourteen carats, one grain and a half lower than the standard, which would be equal to three ounces, sixteen pennyweights, and six grains in the troy pound. Fine gold would be worth four pounds six shillings an ounce. I refer to pure gold. By fine gold I mean pure gold. There are other sorts of gold. Watch cases are made of eighteen carats gold, but gold chains are made of all sorts and qualities of gold. It is difficult to say what is a gold chain. I never saw a gold chain with the Hall mark to my recollection. What are meant in the trade by fine gold chains are, I presume, chains that are coloured, or pickled, and brought up to a surface. There are no chains made of pure gold with the exception of the Maltese chains, which have little or no alloy in them. Mr. Clarkson said it was quite palpable from the course taken in the case in preparing the depositions which had been made on the former examination from the signatures of the witnesses, that it was the determination of the Lord Mayor to send the case for trial to another court. It would therefore be useless for him to say one word in defence at the present moment. He would have an opportunity elsewhere of exposing the object and cause of the gross and unfounded charge which had been made to prejudice as much as possible the characters of the gentlemen of the respectable firm he represented. He knew all about the matter, and he would take care that all should come out in due time. It was obvious that an unfair desire to prejudice the case existed, from the fact that a person in the court, who was interested in the prosecution, had applauded the attack made by his learned friend upon the employers of the young gentleman who was the immediate object of accusation. It was obvious, too, that the false charge had sprung in a great measure out of the jealousy of less able and successful tradesmen. The Lord Mayor said he ;as not aware of the least unfair play upon the part of any individual. The gen tleman who had expressed his approbation of the remarks of the learned counsel for the prosecution was evidently unaccustomed to the forms of a court, and had done so inadvertently. With regard to the com mittal of the prisoner, the impression upon the mind of the bench upon hearing the simple, but strong, testimony of Mr. Ward, that the prisoner said the chain "was not the best gold, nor of the purest quality, but it was all gold," was, that a jury ought to decide the case. He had no doubt that a fair conclusion would be ultimately arrived at, and he trusted that the character of the firm, the respectability of which he had no reason to question, would be clearly established. Mr. Clarkson said he supposed the Lord Mayor would be satisfied with Mr. Lamude's own security for his ap pearance at the Central Criminal Court ? Mr.lParry offered no objection to the bail, and the Lord Mayor read the usual words previously to committal. The prisoner—" I wish, my lord, to make an observa tion." Mr. Clarkson immediately interposed his advice, and he prisoner then said " I reserve my defence for my ,rial." MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Catharine Johnson, who stood remanded on suspicion of being accessory to various robberies, alleged to have been committed by her husband, a n American, in which jewellery to the amount of about 1,5001. was taken from the premises of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, jewellers, New Bond street, was brought before Mr. Bingham for final ex amination. The case stood over for further evidence, the police having hopes of getting hold of the husband who had made his way to Paris, and from thence to some other part of the continent. The only evidence against the accused was that some articles of jewellery resembling some of the stolen property had been seen in her posses and that her husband had pawned at Messrs. At tenborough's shop, in Newington-causeway, two of the stolen rings. The magistrate was informed that no further evidence was forthcoming. Mr. Humphreys for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis for the prisoner, were present, but made no observation. Mr. Bingham said application had been made in the first instance to him, and the case had afterwards been investigated by Mr. Hardwick, who was unavoidably absent that day on public business, but who had commu nicated with him, and had expressed his opinion that the charge could not be sustained unless further evidence was brought forward. He had read through the notes of the case, and he coincided with the view of his col league. He must therefore discharge the prisoner. CROWN-OFFICE.

STRANGE FISR.—In the Mediterranean, Chinnereth, and Semechonitis, as also in the Jordan, are found many kinds of fish, which are nevertheless essentially different from the European ones. Some are found which weigh thirty pounds. In the sea, near Jaffa, there is found at times a species of fish which emits a phosphorescent light in the dark, not unlike rotten wood. This peculiar property of the fish is only destroyed when it is put over the fire, or immersed in hot water. There is found, likewise, in the sea of Chinnereth, a very fat fish, Al Barbud, which h as no sca l es , w h er efore it is not eaten by Jews. There are two kinds of fish known as Shebuta, Al Sabuta, one of which is as large as a hog, and is very fat and well-flavoured. It is not met with in Palestine, and is only caught in the Indian seas, and especially near Fiume. It is known among the Italians as•Tanina. The other is a smaller species, has tender flesh, and is salted before being eaten. LEEDS, JAN. 7. STOCK EXCHANGE._ Shares generally are flatter this morning. Very little is doing. Buyers are reluctant operators. Lancashire and Yorkshire were done at 84/ ; North Westerns at 8 ; Leeds Northern Extensions, No. 2, at prem. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire 101. prefs., at 11. •eceipts include the traffic on the Orleans and Central, Or- Bordeaux, and Tours and Nantes lines. The weather is again boisterous and wet. The business in Brunswick-street the last two days has been inactive,. and at the Corn-exchange this morning, having a very slender attendance of town and country buyers, the trans actions were in mere retail quantities of every article of the trade. Useful quality of red wheat commanded the price of Tuesday, but American white was slightly easier to purchase. American flour was also rather lower ; superfine sweet Western Canal, 27s 6d to 28s to 28s 6d ; Baltimore and Philadelphia, 28s 6d to 29s ; and choice brands ranging from 29s to 31s per barrel. Ii Indian corn very little doing. The high prices and freight of whe at and flour from the United States per sseamer Arctic, received this week, have had little influence on this mar ket. There was no change in the value of oats, oatmeal, barley, beans, or peas. Day when made up From what When COUNTRIES. in General Post- Port Oflice, London. Dispatched. duo.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 7. (Before Mr. Commissioner Law.) IN BB WILLIAM PRITCHARD. -EXTBrAORDINAEY CASE OF BREACH OF TRUST. The insolvent, a young man who had been clerk to a Wwt Indian house in the City, applied to be discharged. He was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of Messrs. Barron and Stevens (t r ading as Rathray and Company) West Indian merchants, Clement's-lane. Mr. Sargood supported. The complaint was that the insolvent had committed a fraud and'breach of trust upon the opposing creditors, to whom he acted as clerk, under peculiar and aggravating circumstances. It appeared that in October, 1851, the insolvent was engaged by Mr. Rathray, the manager of the establishment, as bookkeeper and clerk. His salary was 1201. a year. In February last it was discovered that his defalcations amounted to 1621., chiefly owing to non- entries in the cash book of cheques he had received. The insolvent appealed to the clemency of the house, and he was not prosecuted, but gave an assignment and warrant of attorney, and under the security the deficiency was paid. He was continued in the service in the same situation. In October last his habits were irregular, and notice was given to him to leave. Mr. Gray, an accountant, was employed to go through the books, and another and a larger defalcation was discovered. He was then called in, and he said, "You cannot make a criminal charge because you oondoned the other." He admitted a defalcation to 2601., and subsequently it was ascer tained to amount to 3941. He gave another warrant of attorney on his furniture, and 1181. had been realised, leaving his deficiency 2641., and he had been arrested, and was now in Whitecross-street Prison at the suit of Messrs. Barron and Stevens. The mode adopted by the insolvent in his second defalcation was to falsify some of the accounts sent in, and to get cheques for the money, and when the cheques were paid to the parties to get the balance as if it had been paid in a mistake. In two case he presented the accounts, and got double cheques. He had lived at the rate of 3501. a-year. 111 r. Cooke submitted that the evidence showed a very 'bad case of breach of trust, and as such he prayed the court to deal with it. Mr. Sargood admitted the fraud committed, but urged a oondonation in the taking of the warrant of attorney by which that which had been a breach of trust was converted into a debt. ME Commissioner Law gave judgment. He was aware that the doctrine of condonation had been held by sone of the commissioners of the court to the effect that if a security was taken, a complaint could not be allowed on account of the original transaction. He had never subscribed to such a doctrine, and never should, because it was in his opinion a doctrine neither warranted by commo n justice nor common sense. Therefore, this case would be considered as if no security had been given. Bis Honou r , in reviewing th e f ac t s , sa id he did no t think Mr. Rathray could be charged, as he had been, with culpable negligence, but had acted with great kind ness and Christian benevolence to the young man in passing over the first defalcation. In a very short time after the first deficiency was passed over the same course of conduct was pursued. It was certainly a melancholy and distressing case, and he (the Commissioner) was bound to deal with it both as fraudulent and as a breach of trust. The judgment of the Court was, that the in solvent should be discharged when h e had been in cus tody for 15 months from the vesting order in December, by fraudulently contracting the debt with Messrs. Bar ron and Stevens by a breach of trust. The case was not concluded till six o'clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Jan. 7, NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.)

The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury hav ing certified to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, in pursuance of the Act 10th Geo. IV., c. 27, sec. 1, that the actual surplus revenue of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, beyond the actual expenditure thereof, for the year ended the 10th day of October, 1852, amounted to the sum of one million nin e hundred and four thousand three hundred and forty-one. Pounds nine shillings and seven pence ; The Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt hereby give notice, that the sum of four hundred and seventy-six thousand and eighty-five pounds seven shil lings and fourpence, being one-fourth part of the said sur plus of one million nine hundred and four thousand three hundred and forty-one pounds nine shillings and seven pence will be applied under the provisions of the said Act, IRON TRADE. Mr. Thomas Thorburn, of Glasgow, states in his Annual Circular that— " The year 1852 will ever be memorable in the annals of the iron trade. After four years of unparalleled de pression—prices fluctuating, from the beginning of 1848 till the spring of 1852, between 475. 6d. and 365. 6d.— has followed an unprecedented re-action—a period of extraordinary activity—a rapid advance of fully one hundred per cent., and that too, in the face of an in creasing production, and accumulating stock. In 1847, I wrote—' It is to be feared, that if the price advance above 855., the export of iron, which was considerable last year, while prices ranged under 755., will receive a check. An accumulatio n o f s t oc k wou ld th us f o ll ow, as in 1845.' " The stocks of 270,000 tons in the stores of warehouse keepers, and 180,000 tons in the stores• of the iron mas ters, are chiefly held by English dealers and speculators, as was the case in 1845, when purchases then made, realised within 31 months, at a fall of 31. per ton, entail ing a loss, on one house alone, of upwards of 100,0001. "Though the stock in Scotland is augmented 90, 000 tons, the aggregate stock throughout the world is considerably diminished. But the scarcity of tonnage, and the high rates of freight, which will undoubtedly prevail all this year, combined with the doubled cost of the article, must tend to stimulate the production, and enhance the profits of the iron masters in England, the United States, and continental Europe. Hence our home consumption and foreign exports will decline, as in the years wherein the prices ruled between 70s. and 80s. " The average value, per week, of the whole make of pig iron m Scotland was, in 1830, 8,0001.; 1840, 22,0001.; 1845, 36,0d01.; 1850, 25,0001,; 1851,29,5001.; and, at 755. per ton, it is now 56,2501. per week." STRANGE DISCOVERY IN AN OMNlBUS.—Thursday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Green Man, Shacklewell, respecting the death of a new-born female infant, which was found in an omnibus, the property of Messrs. Wellan and Co., ominibus proprietors, Kingsland. Joshua Zlott, ostler, in the service of Messrs. Wellan, was on Friday last at the Lamb Tavern, Kingsland, when an omni bus belonging to his employers, which starts from the Flower Pot, Bishopsgate-street, arrived at the stables. He proceeded to search the inside of it, when he found what appeared to him to be a parcel, which was tied round with a piece of linen. He untied it, and discovered a cigar box, which was wrapped up in a London Journal of the 28th February, 1852. He put the box on one side, thinking that it con t a i ne d c i gars, and that some one would call for it. On Wednesday, as an unpleasant smell came from the box, and as no one had called about it, he forced the lid, when he found that it contained the body of a female child. He then gave information to the police. He had since spoken to the conductor to ascertain whether he had taken notice of any strange peon who had entered the omnibus. He stated that he - had not observed any one of whom he had a suspi cion. Inspector Darltarl, N division, stated that the ostler had committed an offence by not delivering up the box to the police when there was no owner for it. Ho had made minute inquiries who had entered the omnibus, but which had not led to the discovery of any suspicious person who had entered at the Flower Pot. Mr. Killock, surgeon, Stoke Newington; stated that the deceased was full grown, and had been dead five or six days. Verdict —" Found dead." THE GREENOCK MIIRDER.—On Tuesday James Denny Scott was tried at Glasgow, before Lord Cockburn, upon the charge of having assaulted and murdered with a razor his half-sister, Catherine Scott, aged three months. The prisoner though his counsel pleaded not guilty, and further, that he was of unsound mind at the time of the murder. The evidence was very simple. The prisoner was a shoemaker, and while his father and stepmother were absent, he took the child out of the cradle and cut, its throat. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but re commended him to mercy on account of mental imbeci lity. Lord Cockburn, addressing the prisoner, said "The jury have convicted you of the crime of murder, but in consequence of your mental imbecility, have strongly e The Crown, courtoz and h as I n o have power n o the to w eiiL t d b ed tb y e o e u a t s o e— m i e t rc i y s . doubt but the recommendat i o n will have effect. How ever, I am not sure of this, and in the meantime th e sentence of the law requires to be pronounced. It had been too common for prisoners who could persuade a jury of their insanity to escape, and I am glad that the fury in this case had the firmness to find a ve r di c t of guilty, with the recommendation which th e c i rcumstances warra nted." His lordship then in the usual manner, with the exception of assuming the black cap, sentenced the prisoner to be hanged in Greenock on Tuesday, the 25th January, between the hours of eight and ten o'clock in the morning. His lordship further said, that, before the court closed, he thought it right to state publicly that this man had been fo r th e w h o l e of his life, ad par ticularly for the last two years, in a state of insanity.
