STATE OF TRADE. TRH GERMAN WOOL TRADE —BERLIN, MARCH 12. — Purchases of different qualities of wool continue to be made, almost every day, by our inland manufacturers; and prices are remarkably firm. A large parcel of Austrian fleeces, between 500 and 600 cwt., sent hither for sale, has been taken, soon after its arrival, by a Ideipsic Yarn Spinning Company. The price is believed to be about ls. I ld. Money is plentiful on change, espe cially for long periods. FORE/ON WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 19.--Busi 'ess has been generally inactive during the past we ek, and may be accounted for chiefly by the present de pressed state of the money market. Stocks of all de scriptions of wool of a desirable character are unusually low in the German markets, and below an average with us, which is likely to check any downward tendency in prices. ENGLISH WOOL NIAREET, LEEDS, MARCH 19.—We lave not any alteration to notice in this branch of trade during the present week. The manufacturers confine their purchases to their immediate wants, and although prices have a downward tendency, there is not any material reduction during the last fortnight. The woollen markets at the cloth halls, both this day week and on *Tuesday were very dull. There continues to be a com plete absence of speculation for the spring trade. The demand is confined to low-priced blues and wool-blacks for the transatlantic markets, whilst fine qualities con tinue to be exceedingly dull. Prices are without any alteration, and notwithstanding the continued dull state of the market, from the circumstance of a great number of manufacturers being engaged for same months past in making goods for the eastern markets, and which are delivered direct to the merchants, the stocks is the halls continue in moderate compass. The country drapers are moving more freely, but the London houses continue to buy cautiously. On the whole, however, there has been a little improvement in business in the warehouses this week. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The purchases of combing wool were more extensive, and prices (except for particular sorts) a little higher on account of the supply being scant. The spinners purchase more freely. There was more business don. in yarns, both for the ex port and home trade, and as the production is at present below the consumption, higher prices were obtained. Owing in part to the fineness of the weather, there was a very great number of merchants in the market, and a great number of pieces were purchased for the American market, principally plain Orleans. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had on the whole only a very dull market for cloth this week; though on Tuesday and to-day rather more goods have changed hands than of late; but as this has been effected by the manufacturers giving way in price, it is doubtful whether the increased demand can be deemed an im provement. Large orders are in town from the United States, and a large business is sure to be done this sea son with that country. Our home merchants complain heavily of the country trade. The silk trade is, if any thing, improving. Yarns arc readier sale, but the prices are miserably heavy. THE REVOLTING MURDER AT CHESTERFIELD. TRIAL OF THE MURDERER. DERBY, SATURDAY MORNING.—The trial of John Platts, for the inhuman murder and mutilation of George Collis, in the butcher shambles at Chesterfield, last December twelve months, commenced yesterday in the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice Patteson. The prisoner is not more than twenty years of age, and his youthful appearance, and the awful character of the crime imputed to him, created a painful feeling. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Mellor ; Mr. Macauley for the prisoner. The circumstances connected with the murder, as stated by thirty-two witnesses, can only be equalled by those atrocious deeds for which the notorious Greenacre and Good suffered. It appeared that early in the morning of the last Fri day in August, 1846, some men were employed in env eying a remote cesspool attached to the premises of a Alr. Bunting, a flour dealer, living in Low Pavement, in the town of Chesterfield, when their attention was drawn to what seemed to be the remains of a carcase of a sheep. A further search showed the mass to consist of two legs and thigh bones, and a quantity of entrails. On the soil being removed to a field for which it was in tended at Halsham, a mile from the town, part of a coat, a pair of trowsers, a hat, two silk handkerchiefs, and portions of a pair of braces and stockings were dis covered. One of the handkerchiefs was marked "G. C." and when picked up was tied as if for the neck, and on the leg bones were garters, apparently two odd ones, one red and the other white. This le() to a more minute search of the cesspool, and at the bottom was found a human skull with a fracture over the right eye. On the wearing apparel being exhibited publicly, the handkerchief bearing the initials of "G. C. was iden tified by a young female named Ellen Beresford, as having belonged to George Collis. This person (Collis), it is proper to mention, was in partnership with the prisoner Platts, in the butchering line, in the preceding year (1845). and opened a shop in the miserable place called the " Shambles," adjacent to the market-place in Chesterfield. Since Sunday night, the Irth of December, in that year (1845), Collis had not been seen, and the belief gained ground that it was his remains that were discovered, and suspicions at the same time were entertained that the prisoner was the party who had taken away his life. The fact of the prisoner having sent a man named Knight to pledge a watch belonging to Collis, a few days after the disap pearance of the latter, gave strength to this suspicion. This led to the prisoner's apprehension. In addition to Ellen Beresford (who had been enceinte by the de ceased) identifying the silk handkerchief; she spoke to the watch produced being in deceased's possession on the 7th of December, 1845, on the evening of which day he told her he was obliged to leave her, having promised to meet John Platts at half-past six o'clock. He said Platte had promised several times to settle with him, for he was greatly in his debt, and he was deter mined to get someshing on account. She never saw him after. When Collis left her she distinctly saw he had the watch in his pocket. He was dressed in a black surtout coat. The witness identified the red worsted garter found on the leg bones when taken out of the cesspool. She said the deceased took it from her in return for one of his. The mother of the deceased said that the prisoner, after the disappearance of the deceased, was asked if he had seen anything of him? He replied Collis had told him he intended to go to Manchester to get clear of the female Beresford, who was in the family -way by him, and he believed he had gone; in fact, he knew he had, for another person told him he had seen him in Man chester. John Holbrook, an eatinghouse-keeper near the butchers' shambles, stated he remembered Collis coming to his shop on the night of the 7th of December. He recollected the night perfectly from circumstances that transpired. Collis came into his shop about a quarter to seven o'clock, sayinc , to witness he had to meet Platts at the shop in the Shambles to get some money from him, and he wanted witness to meet him afterwards at a public-house in the neighbourhood. Collis said he would meet him at twelve o'clock. Witness went to the public-house and waited for Platts till past one_ in the morning, but he never came. Witness never saw hi m after. When Collis left the shop he saw him go in the direction of the prisoner's shop in the Shambles. It was a corner shop on the right hand side, passing through the Shambles from the market-place. He knew the cesspool where the body was discovered. It is situated within one hundred yards of the prisoner's shop. The cesspool is down a narrow passage among a quan tity of stables, and is made use of by most of the inha. bitants round about. There is no thoroughfare down the passage. It was possible for a man to fall into it, and there remain six or eight months before discovered. The cesspool is a very large one. It is made use of by the butchers in the shambles as a receptacle for un wholesome meat. Thomas Harvey's evidence was most important. He said he was a shoemaker living at Chesterfield. On the night of the 7th of December, 1845, at about twenty minutes or a quarter to seven o'clock, he was standing near Platt's shop, and heard two or three blows struck in the shop. They appeared as if by a clever on a soft substance. After the first blow he distinctly heard the groans of a human being. It alarmed him, and he made all haste to his friends at home, and told them he was sure some murder was going on in Platt's shop, telling them what he had heard. His wife and sister returned with him to the shambles, and tried to get into the shop, but the door was secured, and all was dark within. Before there was a light in the shop. No one could see into it, for the shutters were up, and a sheet was bung up inside to prevent observation. His wife and sister knocked at the door, and asked Platts what he was doing, and who he had in the shop. The prisoner answered, "No one." Ills sister then said, "Oh yes, you have." Prisoner said, "No he had not, it was him that was making the noise ; he had been taking some rum, was sick, and intended to lie down. " "Witness said he had better open the door and let them in, and they would get him some water, but he refused. The females then charged Platts with having a woman inside with him, and pushed against the door to force it even. Platts told them he had no one with him, but would not open the door to satisfy:them. They then left the shop. Shortly afterwards Platts came into the house where witness and his wife and sister were. One of his hands were covered with blood. He said he had cat them, and asked for water to wash them, which was Wren to him. He appeared confused, and seemed to Lave been kneeling, as one of his knees were covered with dirt. The women taxed hind with having been ill lug a female in the shop. He said he had been doing nothing of the kind, or any body else. Mrs ' H anel and her • evidencemary Rinaneydeez sister corroborated Harvey's particular. ar. 1845. He offered to Betel met the prisoner in January, her a watch. Aft er th e dis covery of the sk u ll in the pri soner if he had heard of the rumours she asked the psi rururs that Collis was supposed to have been eaardered He said he had. George theynight deposed to having bought a pair of boots of prisoner for se. (They were produced,' and were identified as belonging to the deceased. His mo ther believed they wcr e t h e same he had on the night he left home ) Mr. H. E. Walker, surgeon, of Chesterfield, stated that the bones found in the cesspool were those of a roan 23 or 24 years of age. He was of opinion that the frac tures on the skull had be en the cause of death. There were three fractures, and the y had evidently been in. eicted by some heavy instrument, such as a butcher's cleaver. At the conclusion of the evidence Mr. MACAULEY ad dressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, calling a num ber of witnesses to character. Mr. Justice PATTESON having summed up, The jury retired to consider their verdict. At thre , e , o'clock they returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder " against the prisoner. Sentence of death was passed, but no day fixed for his execution. LA.W INTELLIGENCE. COURT or CHANCE f;Y, March 20. The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn, to-day, and heard appeals. CIIAPPLE V. PIRDAY.—FILA DIAVOLO. This case came before the Court upon appeal on the part of the defendant, Mr. Purday, from the decision of the Vice- Chancellor of England dismissing the plaintiff's bill, without giving the defendant his costs. The circumstances of the case were these :—The plaintiff , Chapple, in the year 1841, filed his bid, claiming the copyright in a musical work called Diotcolo, and praying the usual relief, and also an in junction to restrain the defendant from pirating that work. The defendant put in an answer to the bill denying the title of the plaintiff, and insisting that what he had done was no piracy. The plaintiff, upon filing his bill, obtained an in junction ex parte against the defendant, but that injunction was dissolved upon a motion for that purpose, and liberty was given to the plaintiff to bring an action ; the plaintiff, how ever, instead of bringing his action, filed a supplemental bill, still asserting his title to the copyright. The de fendant put in a further answer to that bill, insisting that the question involved was one of law, and challenging the plaintiff to bring an action to try his right. Upon the case coming on before the Vice• Chancellor, he ordered the bill to be retained for a twelvemonth, giving liberty to the plaintiff to proceed and try the question by an action, and ordering, unless he did so within the twelve month, the bill to be dismissed with costs. The action was brought in the Court of Exchequer, and a verdict was given against the plaintiff, thereby deciding that he had no title to the copyright. The cause was then set down before the Vice-Chancellor upon further directions, and his Honour, upon that occasion, made an order dismissing the bill, simply without giving the defendant his costs. From that order the present appeal was brought. Mr. Anderson appeared for the defendant; Mr. Purday and Mr. Rolt for the plaintiff. The arguments occupied the attention of the Court the entire day. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, March 20. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) JOY V. BIRCH. The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied his Honour the whole morning. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 20. SUSPENSION OF ♦ CERTIFICATE FOR THREE YEARS. —IN RE OSBORNE.—This morning Mr. Commissioner Goulburn gave judgment on an application by this bankrupt, who bad carried on business as a silversmith and jeweller in St. James's-street. The case had been before the Court on several occasions, when a very lengthened examination took place into the con duct of the bankrupt; but the Learned Commissioner expressed his opinion that it would not be just towards the bankrupt to publish it until the case was concluded. . His HoNoundwelt with great severity on the bank rupt's conduct; but said there were some mitigating cir cumstances which operated in favour of the bankrupt to prevent the law being carried to its full extent; they were, that the bankrupt had sued out the fiat when he found himself in a hopeless state, and when there was 4,0001. for his creditors, and he had also rendered all the assistance he could to the creditors. His Honour concluded by suspending the certificate for three years. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, March 20, IN RE ABRAHAM LEVY GOODMAN. This insolvent, Goodman, Levy, -a name well known in sporting circles, applied to be Cischarged on bail until his hearing in April. No opposition was offered. Mr. Commissioner Law, on reference to the schedule, found some debtors for money who had given cheques. Ile asked whether the insolvent knew the residences be had set forth. He found an address of a person formerly of the City." The insolvent said he was not acquainted with the re sidences. They were strangers to him and generally resided at Hotels, Mr. Commissioner LAW thought that not very active proceedings had been taken on the cheques given by the parties. The Court accepted the bail, and the discharge was ord,red. The insolvent on his schedule stated that his appear ance in the Court had been occasioned by paying forfeits on racehorses which had nct run according to their entries. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, March 19. CROWN COURT. A person of very respectable appearance, who. it ap peared, has since his apprehension refused to give his name or any information respecting himself, and who was described in the indictment as " a man whose name is unknown," was arraigned on a charge of feloniously setting tire to a stack of wheat, the property of Thomas Macey. Mr. Rose conducted the prosecution; the prisoner him self cross-examined the witnesses, and evinced a great deal of tact during the inquiry. Mr. Macey deposed that he was a farmer at Strood, and on the 21st of February he had a stack of wheat standing in a field near the high road. He saw the stack safe at half-past five o'clock, and between seven and eight o'clock he heard an alarm, and found that it was in flames, and the whole stack was eventually consumed. The stack had contained between forty and fifty quarters of wheat. George Wilson, a tailor, residing in Rochester, said he was on his way home when he observed the stack on fire, and when he got up to it he saw the prisoner stand ing about ten or twelve feet from the fire. Witness spoke to him and remarked that it was a very bad job, and the prisoner paused a little and then said, " Yes, to burn corn when so many poor families are starving for the want of it." Wm. M'George, a Rochester policeman, said he was on duty in the High-street about a quarter to ten o'clock on the night of the fire, when the prisoner came up to him, and asked him where the station-house was? He asked him what he wanted, and whether it was about a robbery, and he said it was. They then went to the station-house together, and when there the prisoner addressed the nigt-inspector, and said, "I suppose you have heard of the fire this evening—l am the person who did it." Witness then sent for the superintendent, and upon his arrival the prisoner repeated the statement that he had set fire to the stack, and said that he did it with one lucifer-match, and that be had his reasons for doing it, which he would never tell to any one. While he was talking he took a quantity of snuff from a paper, and continued to do so until he had emptied the paper, and he then threw it into the fire-place. He was then asked to gi%e his name, and he answered that he hoped they would not think him rude, but he must decline giving it. Mr. John Tuff, the superintendent of the Rochester police, deposed that in consequence of a communication he received from the last witness, he went to the sta tion-house, and found the prisoner in custody, and im mediately he saw him he said that he had come to give himself up, for setting the stack on tire. He asked him his name, hut he refused to give it, and upon wit ness reminding him that it was a eery serious charge, and asking him if he was aware of the conse quences, he replied, that he was perfectly aware what he was doing. After this caution the prisoner made a statement, which witness took down in writing. He said that he was at the Coach and Horses public-house, near Rochester, and had same refreshment, on the evening of the fire. He left the Lou :e about seven o'clock, and as he wac passing the field where the stack was, he went in and aet the stack on fire with one lucifer match from a box he had in his pocket. He then threw away the box and the remainder of the matches under a hedge, about a hundred yards from the stack. He then said be stayed for some time to see the fire, and afterwards went to Rochester to give himself up. The prisoner then told him that if he m a d e a s earc h h e wou ld fi n d t h e lucifer box in the place he described. Witness again asked him to give his name, but he refused, and upon his examining his clothes to see if there was any name marked on them the prisoner smiled, and said he had taken care of that, and pointed to holes at the top of his stockings where he had cut the name out. Upon a further examination of the prisoner's person, he discovered a faint trace of the letters M. C. A., a dart, and an anchor on °mot* his arms, and the prisoner said this was done when he was eleven years old. The prisoner afterwards said that he had no wish to remain in this country, but that his friends were very respectable, and no one should know who they were. He asked the prisoner to sign the state ment he had taken down, but he refused to do so, al though he said it was all true. Chief Justice WILDE asked the witness whether he found any money on the prisoner? He replied only one halfpenny. He added that a search was afterwards made at the spot indicated by the prisoner, and a lucifer box, was found t h ere , w hi c h he produced. The prisoner asked the witness whether, when he asked him if the statement he had taken down was true, he did not say that he had correctly taken down what he had said, and not that it was true? The witness did not appear to understand the distino tion suggested by the prisoner, and the Learned Judge explained it to him, and remarked that there was a very material difference between a man saying that a state ment was correctly taken down, and saying that the statement itself was true. The witness admitted that the prisoner might have made the answer in the form he had suggested, The prisoner here interfered, and said " What I said was, you have taken down correctly everything I said." Chief Justice WILDE inquired of the witness whether he had any further conversation with the prisoner ? The witness replied, that when he was conveying him to Maidstone, to take his trial, the prisoner told him that he had been to sea, and that Tawell, the Quaker, who was hanged for murder;sailed in the same ship with him to Sydney to look after his property. He likewise said that he had been married, but that his wife was dead, and he had two children, a boy and a girl, one seven and the other nine years old, but he said he had not seen them for two months. In answer to further questions from the Court, the witness said that the prisoner refused to sign the state ment, and when writing materials were offered to enable him to communicate with his friends, he declined to make use of them. Thy! landlord of the public-house, mentioned by the prisoner, was then examined, to show that he was at his house at the time he stated; and evidence was also given of the finding of the box of lucifers in the hedge close to the spot where the fire happened. A statement made by the prisoner when under exami nation before the magistrate was then put in, and it ap peared that upon that occasion he asserted his innocence of the charge, and said that his object in making the ac cusation against himself, was merely to obtain a night's lodging and a breakla:t. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, ad dressed the Court, and said he would first explain why he had retuned to st a t e hi s name, or to give any clue to his connexions . H e h ad two children who had been brought up respectably, 13-1 he hadh been him s elf, an d h e did not wish th em to know thatrr . father had s t oo d a t then the bar of a sed th court of justice as a cte%mrnmesatl. terms he prisoner e j addrese ury, a n d i n d his innocence of the crime, and asked whe m th s er as i s t ert w as likely that, if be had really committed it, he should have emained upon the spot afterwards, or have given him• self up, when he might so easily have made his escape? He concluded by declaring, that finding himself without money, he was induced to make the charge against him self in crder to obtain a night's lodging, expecting to be discharged in the morning, and not having the least idea that it would be the means of placing him in his present degrading position. Chief Justice WILDE, in summing up, said this was certc,inly a very extraordinary case, and but for the fact been very well known that there had been many cases where persons had charged themselves with crimes of which they were entirely innocent, the confession of the prisoner might be taken as conclusive against him. It was the duty of the jury, however, to consider that statement with the one that he now made, and to look at all the other circumstances of the case, and then to say whether they considered that the charge was clearly established against him. The conduct o f the prisoner had, no doubt, been most extraordinary. He was evi dently a man of some education, and his manners showed that he had fllled a respectable position in society ; and it appeared that he was an entire stranger in the neigh bourhood ; knew nothing whatever of the prosecutor and therefore could have had no motive of to in duce him to commit the offence. Both the statements made by the prisoner were very improbable, but the jury would consider them together, and see whether, under all the circumstances ; they could feel that the guilt of the prisoner was clearly proved. He concluded by observing, that if the verdict of the jury should be adverse to the prisoner, he would have no one to blame but himself for such a result. The jury, after deliberating for a short time, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Chief Justice WILDE said, he thought this was the safest conclusion to come to under the peculiar circum stances of the case, and if he had been upon the jury he should have delivered the same verdict. The Learned Judge then addressed the prisoner, and told him that he had tried a very dangerous experiment, and he should advise him never to repeat it. Soon after the Courts sat this morning, it was an nounced that the six actions of ejectment involving the question of gavelkind tenure, and in which Sir F. Thesiger and Sir F. Kelly had been specially retained, would be postponed till the next assizes. In consequence of the state of business, Mr. Sergeant Channell, at the request of the Lord Chief Justice, disposed of several common jury causes in the Record room, and Mr. Ser geant_ Dowling tried prisoners in the grand jury-room. The latter sergeant sat nearly twelve hours yesterday, and the assistance thus rendered was a great relief to the business of the assize, and a saving of expense to the county, by releasing a g reat number of witnesses. Before the postponement of the actions above referred to was quite determined upon, the Judges decided upon adjourn ing the commencement of the business at Lewes from Tuesday to Thursday next, and business will be com menced on the latter day in beth courts at nine o'clock. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, March 18. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON). Elizabeth Parker, aged 12, was charged with having, at Codnor Park, feloniously murdered Sarah Wardle. Mr. Gale appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Wilmore for the defence. Mr. Gale stated the case. Elizabeth Wardle examined—l am the wife of John Wardle, of Codnor Park. The prisoner at the bar was in my service as nursemaid, and had care of a child four months of age. She had been in my service six weeks before this occurrence took place. She was twelve years of age last October. On Friday morning, the 15th of October, sho took the child out about eleven o'clock, and was absent about an hour. On her return the child was asleep. It continued in that state about half an hour, and when it awoke it looked curious in the eyes, and it appeared to be in fits. I observed a peculiar smell, and thought the child had had ale. I asked the prisoner what she had been giving to the child. She said she had given it a little sup of beer; and afterwards she said she had given it a little ale out of a jug in Mr. Wysehalt's brewhouse. I nursed the child all the afternoon, keep ing, it asleep as well as I could. From time to time it appeared to have the same kind of fits again. The child died. A constable of the name of Wallace proved the ph i snner told him she had sent a little girl to purchase some audanunt ; that she gave half of a small bottle-full to the baby, and the rest she threw away. (This witness had asked the girl how she did it. He was reminded by the Judge it was not his duty to ask the prisoners any questions.) On a post mortem examination being made, it was found there were about two teaspoonfuls of liquid in the stomach. One halt was milk, the other appeared to be laudanum; if it was, it was quite sufficient to kill the child. The JUDGE put it to the jury, whether the girl knew it was poison, or that it was a wrong act she was doing. In the latter case she would be guilty of manslaughter. If she did it to comfort the child, or at the suggestion of any other person, they would acquit her. The jury, after considerable hesitation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. IV 0 RTHERN CI RC Ul7l—York, March 18. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Jos. Cochin Hoatson, late a share-broker at Halifax, was indicted for the forgery of a transfer of twenty shares of the Eastern Counties Railway, with intent to defraud Robert Anzelark Pilling. There were counts charging the intent to defraud severally four other indi viduals, and also with intent to defraud the Eastern Counties Railway Company, making, in all, thirty-six counts or separate indictments. _ Mr. Sergeant WILKINS (with him Mr. Cowling and , Mr. Overend) stated the case, and called George Fleming, a boy, who said that after last Mid summer, be was employed by James Hoatson, also a share-broker at Halifax. About that time the prisoner came into the office one day, and presented a paper (the transfer) folded up, and told him to sign the name Ro bert A. Pilling, upon a place which he pointed out. He did so, and then the prisoner called in another boy, called Thompson, and told him to write his name on the same paper. Robert A. Pilling examined—He is a retired trades man. The signature to the transfer was not his, nor had he authorised ony one to make it for him. Cross-examined—ln July, 1844, he sold 200 shares of the Eastern Counties Railway.. Mr. Fernyhough, of Manchester, was the broker. In: August he executed fifteen transfers, amounting to 297 shares. In Novem ber he executed seven transfers ; and in April, 1845, he executed "a transfer of 20 shares. Witness had no broker at Halifax. He never gave any directions to sell certi ficates of any particular numbers. When the last trans fer was tendered to him for execution he at first objected to execute it. He thought the transaction unbusiuess like, arid improper, because he had signed a transfer before for the same numbers. He was told before he executed it that Glover repudiated the former transfer, which was brought back to him, and witness's signature cancelled. Thomas Parkinson, sharebroker at Halifax, proved that the body of the transfer was in the prisoner's handwriting. Witness received the transfer and two corresponding certificates frora the prisoner on the 14th August, H sent them to the office of the Eastern Counties Railway, and received in return in a few days stock certificates, the new evidences of ownership. He afterwards received instructions from the prisoner to sell them. He did so for 4504 and settled with the pri soner for the amount. Mr. BLISS (Mr. Hall and Mr. Pickering with him) addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended that the s )a.res were the prisoner's own, and by forging the transfer he could have no intention to defraud, and could in fact defraud no one. The prisoner received the highest character for honesty and integrity from a number of magistrates and other persons from Halifax and the neighbourhood. Mr. Baron RoLFE having summed up, The jury retired, and atter being absent some time, returned with a general verdict of Guilty. On a question arising as to which count the verdict should be entered on, Mr. Baron ROLFE asked the jury if they found that the prisoner intended to defraud all the parties he had al lied their attention to, or, if not all, which of them ? Whereupon the jury said, they had not decided that question. They were then sent back, and remained out some time longer, when they found the prisoner Guilty on the counts intending to defraud Pilling and the railway company. His LORDSHIP said the prisoner probably thought that no practical injury would result from his act, but as the act done was one of serious consequence, he could not permit it to go unpunished, notwithstanding the very high character he (the prisoner) had received. As, however, he believed that he had committed the offence rather from a mistaken notion of his right, than from a deliberate intention to violate the law, he should only sentence him to be confined in York Castle for two calendar months. The next case ended the Crown business of the as sizes here, and there is only one special jury cause re maining on the Civil side. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Thomas Ayes, driver of an omnibus plying between King's -cross and Kennington, appeared on a charge of causing considerable damage to a horse and chaise be longing to Mr. R. Rogers, of King-street, Covent-garden, by furious driving. It appeared that on the evening of the 11th inst., about nine o'clock, the complainant was driving through College-street, Camden-town, with his son, when he observed the omnibus coming towards him at a furious pace, on the wrong side of the road. He drew as close as possible to the path, and called to the driver, who paid no attention, and drove against his chaise, the pole striking the dashing board, doubling it up, and breaking the whip off close to the handle. The splinter bar of the omnibus struck the complainant s pony inside the thigh, inflicting a severe wound on the stifle, and also wrenching a shoe off his foot. The chaise was completely jammed under the omnibus, and it was a long time before it could bo extricated. The defendant was quite unconcerned, and never attempted to render the slightest assistance. He had plenty of time to get out of the way after Mr. Rogers called to him, and the passengers were so much alarmed that they left the omnibus and walked away. So far from the defendant exhibiting any regret for the acci dent, on his being remonstrated with, he burst out laughing, as if he thought it a good joke. On bei ag called on for his defence. he said it was so dark he could not see, and that he pulled up as soon as he could. Mr. HENRY said it was the worst case of the kind he ever met with, and the defendant might think himself lucky in not having to appear on a charge of man slaughter.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROMANTIC TALE.--THE PRICE OF A MIISSULMAN.--• On Saturday two Persians, wearing the costume of their country, and apparently unable to speak any other than their native tongue, were brought to this Court by a Commissioner, who attends at the different wharfs to introduce foreigners to hotels, under the following very curious circumstances : The Commissioner said the two foreigners were wandering about the east-end of the town, having just landed from a French steamer, apparently quite be wildered about their destination. He made inquiries, and he learned the following particulars about them : A relative, also a Persian, had killed a Turk, and the Turkish Cadi, who heard the charge, agreed to spare the prisoner's life on condition of his paying a stipulated fine within a certain period. The two Persians, his re latives, had set out on their benevolent mission to make the ease known among compassionate Gitours, in the hop. of collecting money enough to redeem the other wise forfeited life of their relative. The Persians had visited various countries. They had last made their ap pearance at Paris, from whence they had, no doubt, been advised to make their way to England, as their romantic story would be sure to interest the benevolent, who had plenty of money at their command. The Persians had taken this advice. and had found their way to London, hoping to add to the funds they had already collected. Mr. HARDWICK examined the passports and papers of the travellers. _ Mr. - HARDWICK said the papers to a certain extent confirmed the singular story just related. The foreigners had evidently made their appearance at various places, and had been received with attention by foreign ministers and by our own consuls. They had been to Greece, to Smyrna, and to Paris, and their passports were vise re gularly and reputably. The Commissioner said he had called at the Turkish Ambassador's, and had been told to take the Persians to the usual depot for foreigners at the east end of the town, from whence they would be sent to their own country. His own opinion was,that there might be some foundation for their charitable pilgrimage, but he suspected from the careful way in which they lived, that they were sav • ing all the money they collected, and making a good thing, of this affair. Mr. HARDWICK said the great respectability of the mines attached to the Persian's papers induced him to think there might be some truth in the strange story; to clear up his doubts, he would write to the Turkish Em bassy on the subject. CLERKEN WELL. Henry Hartley was charged with committing various rob beries in houses at the west-end, under the following circum stances :—lt appeared that on the 6th inst. the prisoner went to the house of a lady named Webster, residing in Chapel street, Bedford-square, and, upon the servant opening the door, said he was sent by Mr. Brooks, a bookseller, in Bond street, to make some inquiries with regard to a 'at of books which had been left there. The servant went up stairs to deliver the message, and while there she heard the hall-door shut, and, upon hastening down, found that the prisoner had decamped, taking with him two valuable coats which had been left there by two gentlemen who were on a visit at the house. Mr. Roper, of No. 3, Queen .square, said the prisoner called at his house, and delivered a similar message to the servant. He (Mr. Roper) came down, and, suspecting something wrong, offered to go with him to the bookseller's, to which the prisoner assented. but had only got a short distance outside the door, when he ran away. The prisoner. against whom there were a number of other charges of stealing hats, coats, and umbrellas, under similar circumstances, was fully committed for trial. FALSE ALARM. (From the Brighton Herald.) Abut twenty minutes to nine o'clock on Tuesday evening the attention of the inhabitants of this town was powerfully aroused by a dull, heavy, rumbling noise, which suddenly rolled over it, and which was so peculiar in its character—so unlike any cf the sounds which one usually hears here—that it excited immediate notice, and raised in those who heard it—and there were few who did not—a mingled feeling of awe and alarm. In about a quarter of a minute the sound was repeated, gradually swelling on the ear and then dying away. A third and a fourth time the noise was heard, and so powerful was the vibration that houses shook beneath it, as though some heavy substance had fallen within them, and articles of china and earthenware gave audible token of being disturbed. People now became thoroughly alarmed and ran out of their houses and shops to question each other as to the cause of this myterious disturbance. North-street in a few moments was in a state of excitement. It was heard in the Chapel Royal, where Divine service was going on, and caused con siderable trepidation ; in the Albion Rooms, where the character of Mahomed was being discussed; at the most northerly extremity of the town, and along the line of cliffs, where the shock was very strong, and where the attention of persons was directed more peculiarly to the sea, in search of the cause of this phenomenon. The first conjecture was, that it was a vessel in distress, and under this idea the life boat on the pier was got ready for launching by the preventative servicemen and filled with life preservers. But the sea was calm and tranquil; the wind, which had been blowing rather strongly from the southeast, had sunk to a mere breath; and the night was starlight and beautiful. All kinds of speculations now got abroad. Was it thunder ? There was not a cloud to been seen. Were the French come ? If so,they kept most carefully out of sight l Was it the shock of an earthquake ? This was the conjecture which tallied most with the circumstances of the case and with the fears of the people, whose thoughts inst'nctively reverted to the fact of the neighbouring city of Chichester having been on several occasions subjected to this alarming phenomenon. Six times the noise was distinctly heard —the fifth was somewhat faint ; the sixth was very powerful ; and then it ceased, and those who had been listening in painful suspense again drew their breath. But it was only to indulge in fearful speculations as to the nature of this strange occurrence, and to fancy all kinds of fearful catastrophes, such as cities swallowed up, or ships destroyed, or nature convased by some strange agony. To all these fearful imaginings, no ' a n sw er could be given that night, an d un Wednesday they were again resumed. The gene ral question was, " Did you hear that strange noise last night ?" " Yes ; what was it ? I t s h oo k my house to the foundation." "It made my china clatter." " Doubtless we shall hear of something dreadful having happened in some part of the world," &c., &c. Furtu nately for the public quie t, there were some parties in the town in asituationtosettheseoffetahe se of fears rumours C a a n u d ala r m at . rest, and to give an explanation And a very s i m ple one it was ; for in th e myster i ous sounds which struck such fear into others, one gentle man, living at the eastern extremity of the town, recog nised the fulfilment of a pledge made to him by the Captain of an outward-bound vessel, that, as he passed the town, he would give him a parting salute. And he did so—a Royal one of 21 guns—and with the above effect. The vessel in question (the flashes from which were wasshaken by seen by some) stood abo ut two miles to the east of Kemp Town, a,nd about eight m iles to sea. She was, therefore, ten miles from Brighton. Moreover, sh e on l y fi re d one gun andyet so loud was the ne it,ep-opr and houses situated two or three m iles inl and felt it. This may be a report that 18-pounder, e t r t , the i . t town is conjectured), chiefly attributed to the circum stance of the wind blow ing dead on shore, the sound being thus borne in a body up the valley. It is a striki.g proof of the vast distance which sounds can be carried under particular circum stances, and also of the peaceable character of a commu nity which could thus be thrown into consternation by a single gun What will the French say to it ? Won't the Prince de Joinville smack his lips at the thought of giving such a warlike set of people, who mistake 18- pounders for earthquakes, a real taste ,of his metal ? Alter this, Brighton must needs have such a warlike character as to hold out the strongest provocation to an attack from this or any other burner of gunpowder ! It may, however, be some consolation to know that the alarm was not confined to Brighton, bat extended as far as Lancing, 8 miles to the west, and Newhaven to the east. We believe there is some regulation to limit the practice of firing at sea ; and the alarm produced on this occasion shows the necessity of it. Mr. Rogers said he was about to commence an actin against the proprietor of the omnibus for the damages but he ws.s willing to forego this if the latter would put the sum of 101. in the poor• box. Mr. Baothgate, the proprietor, after some considers- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, 1847. BANK RETURNS. (Frot. the London Gazettc.)

CURTIK Mr. Wakley held an inquest on Friday at the Nag's Head, New Cavendish-street, to inquire into the death of Sir W. Curtis. George Leigh, butler to deceased, said be was present when Sir William died, about half-past seven on Tuesday evening. He had gone to the City in the morning, and walked home, arriving about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes put six. About a quarter past seven witness went up stairs with Mr. Freeman, surgeon, of Spring-gardens, and found Sir William sitting on the sofa with his feet in warm water. He then appeared insensible, and Mr. Freeman bled him. Sir William died about a quarter of an hour afterwards. Understood that he was attacked with apoplexy. He had had one or two similar attacks previously; the last about three months ago at Ramsgate. \Vitness had been informed by a medical man, he believed Dr. Gordon, that the next attack Sir William had would be fatal. Was not aware that Sir William knew of that prediction. Mr. WAKLEY said, such unpleasant predictions were sure to get talked about, and did a great deal of harm. W. Legg, under-butler, said, he let Sir William in when he came home. He then appeared in his usual health. He had intended to have gone to the opera, but countermanded the order with regard to dressing for that purpose. Shortly after the bell rang, and on entering the draw in g - room he found deceased on the sofa ill, and Lady Curtis near him. He at once sent for Mr. Freeman. The CORONER—Why, Mr. Freeman lives at Spring-gar dens ; why did you not go for some medical man on the spot? Witness—l did as I was ordered. The CORONER—Hew absurd! There were dozens of doc tors within 300 yards, and yet you went to Spring-gardens. It ought to be known that in such cases life or death hangs upon the prompt relief afforded by bleeding. Mr. Freeman could not have arrived in less than half an hour. Indeed, scarcely more than 50 minutes elapsed from the time Sir William entered the house to his death. Mr. J. Freeman, of Spring-gardens, surgeon, said he ar rived at Sir William's house shortly after seven o'clock. He found him breathing hard and his pupils dilated. He bled him, and took about 10 ounces of blood, but without effect; did not use cupping, as there was no cupper to be found. The CORONFR • expressed his astonishment that the surgeon did not cup the deceased himself, and said, had earlier aid been procured life might have been saved. Mr. Freeman said, death, in his opinion, had resulted from sanguineous apoplexy, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical t e stimony. On F riday the London ponce .ecwived information from the county constabulary, that the house of Mr. Keeble, of Southfleet, near Gravesend, had been entered and robbed for the second time during the present month, of much valua ble property. Also of the wilful setting fire to the plantation of Mr. Thomas Quarrel!, of Kemmerton, in the county of Gloucester, and, likewise, on the estate of Mr. John Hopton, of the lime place, when, in the latter case, nine acres of grass and a large quantity of furze were destroyed.

A STARTLING SIGHT. , This day week (Friday), as a man named Lambley 1 . 11 ", returning from Foxhall, to which place he had been to get u : watercresses, he saw a man's hat lying upon the pathway' near a place called Brook-hill, in the parish of Rushe 3 e .h re ' t about two and half miles from Ipswich; he looked over , hedge, and was much frightened at seeing the body of a T .-- suspended by the neck from a cord, which was attached t° t the bough of a tree; he stood gazing at the body for a she time, and then ran down the road for about a hundred yfil and seeing a shepherd in a field, he told him of what be bi. seen. The shepherd accompaiiied him to the spat, and War as much frightened as himself, neither of them being e b ,',,, e ; through fright, to cut the body down. After gazing `" •ome time at the body at a respectful distance (for they e',7 4 , afraid to approach too near), the shepherd suggested, e"' saying, Poor fellow, we can't do him any good, let WT I hang where he is," that Lambley sho u ld run to the Ips,w ic A station-house and tell the police of what he had seen. im?,, singular to relate, Lambley followed the advice givens stead of going to a house close by to obtain assistance. shepherd, too, returned to his work, as if nothing had h e r; petted. It is hard judging, but from the facts stated a, the inquest we think it not improb a bl e , as was expres s ; by the jury, that if the deceased had been cut down W h oa first seen by Lambley his lite might haVe been spared. bhe the day following an inquest was held u p on the body at . Ship Inn, St. Clement's, Ip sw i c h, b e f ore M r . S. B. Jackaa' - ' coroner for the borough. It appeared from the evidence at duced that the deceased's n a me was J o h n Lawrence, s n _,, that he had left a wid o w, residing in St. Clement's greet, in this town, but no children. Deceased was an . gine fitter, and had been in the employ for the last months, with the exc e ption of the last six weeks, of Thui n . wood and Co., steam-engine manufacturers and iron f eu ders, of Ipswich. He had at times been in a desPae state of mind, but had not until Sunday week been peered of having contemplated such a dreadful act ;' „".7 which day a fellow workman, named Brazier, who lodges 110-f the house of the deceased, on his return home from a place , worship, discovered the deceased standing upon el l as ed the passage with a piece of cord in his hand. The dec , was accused of having made a hole in the wall , but denied having done so. Other circumstances also gave r2,'; to a suspicion that he intended self-destruction. On following day (Monday) deceased left his home, te lling wife he should return in half an hour; h e did not re " turn, and although sou g ht a f ter he could not b e f°"`L It was proved, that on the night previous to his comm itting the rash act, he slept at the house where the inquest Was held, leaving on the following morning shortly after twelve ' o'clock, and about one o'clock his body was seen hangw, upon the branch of a tree by Lambley. Evidence was als o given corroborative of the facts we have previously stat° A l and the policeman said, that when he saw the body , 14. ' between three and four o'clock, a short time after it had bee: cat down, it was quite warm. The Coroner, addressing the witness Lambley, said, he hoped that if he should everag a ! have the misfortune to find anybody hanging, as he bad see the deceased, he would pluck up resolution enough to do was proper in such a case, by cutting the body down. 1 1 } ; jury expressed their astonishment that the shepherd an d '' u t witness Lambley had acted as they had done, and, witu.e..o hesitation returned the following verdict:--"That deceased had destroyed himself when in a temporary sta; of derangement." One of the witnesses stated, that ha d p g a young lady, named Neall, of Newbourne, who was Ptht, the spot, been very much frightened at the ghastlY ag be the body would not have been taken from the tree ue ti e dicel arrival of the police. The deceased had been under In g, s ex treatment for some months previous to his death."''' Standard.
