MANCHESTER.- There has been a moderate demand this week for printing cloths, shirtings, longcloths, and T's, at the full prices previously obtainable ; and there is rather more inquiry for domestics, principally for expor tation ; but these articles are still in a most unsatisfac tory state, and stocks must be lessened before they can become remunerative. Very different is the position of the lighter as well as the finer makes of cloth, which are in general well engaged. In yarns, the India houses are snow doing less than they were, and the home consumers purchase very cautiously ; whilst the. Germans continue quite out of the market. Spinners are, however, for the most part, free from stocks, and pretty well supplied with contracts ;so that prices remain firm. In the earlier part of the week, there was a disposition amongst producers to harden in their terms arising partly from the advance in cotton in the United States, and partly from an expectation of an augmented demand with the openingyear. The tone of the market has not, how ever, been fully maintained as the week has advanced. This has been more perceptible to-day than it was yes terday, evidently in consequence of the rate of interest having been raised from 2 to 21 per cent. by the Bank of England. The state of the weather, and the heavy orders sent out for foreign wheat, are giving rise to some uneasiness in commercial circles. BRADFORD, Jan. 6.—Our wool market at present pre sents an unusual degree of animation, consequent upon large purchases being made by brokers for shipment to the west ; also by the staplers selling from one to another, either to complete engagements entered into, or on speculation. Be that as it may, prices are now sought by the country dealers quite out of all bounds ; and the buyers for actual consumption feel their posi tion a difficult one, especially when they have to supply old contracts for yarns. Noils and brokes continue active, but do not command price equal to long wools. The transactions in yarns thus far entered into are not so I great as in the previous month, owing to the large en gagements of many spinners, and their consequent unwillingness to take orders in addition to those on hand. Many manufacturers have also secured large contracts for yarns, on terms far different to those on which they can now place them ; and as the difficulties of producing them are every day increas ing, the spinners are compelled to seek higher prices. The trade in pieces seems as if it was not governed by the state of either wool, yarn, or cotton. This may in some measure be accounted for by the stock nowi n pro cess of manufacture being chiefly old purchases, and low prices are still the result. The relative price of the raw material and woven fabrics is, however, at present very unsatisfactory, and unless the latter ere long command A considerable advance, a stoppage of looms must follow. NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY, JAN. 6.—The lace trade continues in a great measure depressed, but a renewal of demand is speedily looked for. The hosiery trade is good in nearly every branch, with a fair prospect of re maining so for a length of time. There is not any alte ration in the price of yarn. LEICESTER, THURSDAY, JAN. 6.—There is the usual paucity in business attending stock-taking ; stocks in hand perhaps were never lighter at this season, and the year will have proved a prosperous one. The work men on the whole have not been more regularly em ployed for years than up to the present time. The ad vanced rate of worsted and the open weather has checked the demand for goods, particularly in the fancy branches. In the brown and grey cotton branch there is a large trade doing ; the circular machinery is also being gradu ally brought to bear in this department, both in middle guages and sham-knits for the lower sorts, and it is a question if in these sorts it will not supersede the wide frames. Cotton yarns are scarce and fully maintain their prices. The new year opens very firm in worsted yarns at the late advance, and no contracts are entered into but at higher rates. A further advance may be ex pected if wools maintain even their present price ; both sorts and skin wools are more difficult to purchase, and woolstaplers state they cannot replace their stocks at the prices now asked by the growers. There is but little wool in their hands and they can afford to hold it ; if the Yorkshire demand does not fail it may yet have an upward tendency.—Leicester• Journal MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. E. Lamude, ahopman 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 degirable 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 met a l, an d as th e 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, but 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 was 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 co n clusi on wou ld 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—°C I wish, my lord, to make an observa tion." Mr. Clarkson immediately interposed his advice, and he prisoner then said 6 'l reserve my defence for my /jai."

The business in Brunswick-street the last two days has been inactive, and at the Corn-exchange this morning, having a veil 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. In Indian corn very little doing. The high prices and freight of wheat and flour from the United States per sseamer Arctic. received this week, have had little influence on tbis mar' ket. There was no change in the value of oats, oatmeal , barley, beans, or peas. WAKEFIELD---jAN. 7.

The only evidence against the accused was that some articles of jewellery resembling some of the stolen property had been seen in her posses sion, and that her husband had pawned at Messrs. At tenborough's shop, in Newington -causeway, two of the stolen rings. . _ RUM, BRANDY, AND ROLLANDS.—There 18 less disposi tion to operate in Leeward Island Rum, but supplies being small rates remain firm at is lld to 3s per gallon proof.

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.

Their mineral take extends to the side of Lough Allen, but their present openings are immediately in the district just named. A gentleman of great experience as a civil engineer, and a member of the British Association, now resident in Belfast, has just visited the scene of these operations, and from a brief memoir which he has made of what he observed, we are permitted to copy the following extract :—" I found they had the coals creeping out in various places, con sisting of two beds near each other, each from 21 to 3 feet in thickness. In proximity to these, they have two strata of iron stone, the one in balls from the size of an orange to 18 inches in diameter, both most easily ob tainable, and the former particularly of the best kind, being equal to any stone found in the three kingdoms, and both carbonates of iron, from which two tons of the calcined stone will make one ton of pig iron. The coal is a brilliant black, of the utmost value as to its coking Powers, as well as equal to the best coals of South Wales for evaporating steam, and singularly free from sulphur, the indication of which is only decimal 0 . 5 per cent. I found a good road made, and all the outlay necessary for a blast furnace ; an engine of more than 100 horse power ; and the furnace, being heated, was t o b e a bl e t o charge in a few d ays ; also: large quantities of ore cal cined, and coals ready as soon as the furnace was suffi ciently dry to use. From the way in which the coal and iron -stone are Obtainable, they can be brought to the furn ace for about three shillings per ton ; and looking at the quality and the arrange ment,. altofzether, I have no hesitation in saying that they will make iron as cheap as, if not cheaper, than in either Scotland or England ; and the quality of their pig-iron will be second to none, since, with similar ma terials, ti.is result has ever been insured. Although I had a right toe:•;pect a good deal from what I had heard befor e the nlal,e, it went even beyond my expec tations ' • and I returned satisfied that it only requires for that district to be opened by railway communication, in a very few years to make Leitrim the Staffordshire of Ireland. If such a field of mineral wealth were known to exist in any part of England which had no such means of access, 1 1 am quite sure a very short time would elapse before it, ould be at once developed, and its riches_ made . available. I give thi n . , opinion as an engineer long ac - no wiL,n mineral Properties in England and having no interest personally in annyoptroperty in Leiirim." The field of these operation s is which have Y av far distant from the Arigna, Company's works eleen unfortunately discontinued in consequence of arigna en Ulbi nation . among the workmen. The value of the is in disputable, t f in proof of which we may state that an be f ac t ur i ng firm in Belfast have a steam engine the quality of the iron in which they affixm to t,„, peen _ Varly good. IN RE TAMSETT. The bankrupt was a builder, at Woolwich. This was the certificate meeting. His unsecured debts were 2,416/. ; assets about 2,000/. On behalf of the assignees, the London and County Bank, no opposition was offered. Mr. Hudson, on behalf of the bankrupt, urged that the case was one for an immediate certificate. 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 RR BRADBURY.—OAPTURS 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 Summers, 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 2,4751., and assets about 1,050/. • Mr. Lowrance supported. Mr. Matthews opposed, for the assignees, chiefly on the ground of excessive personal expenditure. His Honour granted a second class certificate. THE NEW RULES AND ORDERS. It may well to remind professional gentlemen having business at this court, that the new rules and orders come into operation on Tuesday next, the 11th instant, and that all proceedings must be upon paper of uniform size. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 7. (Before Mr. Commissioner Law.) IN RR WILLIAM PRITCHARD. - EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF BREACH OF TRUST. The insolvent, a young man who had been clerk to a West Indian house in the City, applied to be discharged. He was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of Messrs. Barron and Stevens (trading 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, " Y ou canno t ma k e a cr i m i nal charge because you condoned 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. Mr. 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 condonation in the taking of the warrant of attorney by which that which had been a breach of trust was converted into a debt. Mr. Commissioner Law gave judgment. He was aware that the doctrine of condonation had been held by some 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 common justice nor common sense. Therefore, this case would be considered as if no security had been given. His Honour, in reviewing the facts, said he did not 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 di sc h arge d when he hadbeen in cue- tedy for 15 months from the vesting order in December, by fraudulently contracting the debt with Messrs. Bar run and Ste vens b y a b reac h of trust. 3 The case was not concluded till six o'clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Jan. 7. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.)

STRANGE FISIL—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 has no scales, wherefore it is not eaten by J ews . 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 especi a lly near Fiume. It is p i known am ong the Italians as Ta,nina. The other is a smaller species, has tender flesh, and is salted before beingleaten, SEABORNE MAILS.
