MANCIIESTER, TIIMIDAT.--SinCe our last report the buoyant feeling which prevailed at the latter end of last , week has been considerably diminished by announce , merits of one or two failures, and, still more, by rumours of very serious difficulties, affecting a London house of the highest respectability, largely engaged in the East India trade. We had heard something of these difficul ties on Thursday last ; but, hoping that they might be surmounted without being brought before the public, we abstained from alluding to them. The house in question, and its situation, have been, however, so currently mentioned on ' Change, and so frequently alluded to in London and provincial newspapers, that any further reserve respecting it is entirely unnecessary. The house in question is that of Fletcher, Alexander, and Co., of Moorgate-street, London—a house of exten sive business, and we believe, of ample means, but unable, owing to the existing pressure, to meet its lia bilities without assistance. It is understood that appli cation has been made to the Bank of England for an advance to the extent of 300,0001. ; and that the directors have consented to make that advance, on condition of receiving sufficient security from Messrs. Fletcher and Co.'s friends, in the form of bills at long dates. It has been stated, in several of the London newspapers, that the requisite security had been given and tie advancs granted. Our own informations, how ever, leads us to believe that these statements were pre mature; and that, although no reasonable doubt was entertained of a satisfactory adjustment of the diffi- 1 culty, it had not been finally arranged up to yesterday evening. The failures which have taken place in London are those of Leaf, Barnett, and Co.lwarehousemen, and Sar gent, Gordon, and Co., colonial brokers. We under stand that the former house will affect the trade of this town, but not to the extent that might have been anti cipated. The latter, of course, will have no direct con nexion with Manchester. There have been, also, two failures in Liv er p oo l, name l y, those of Brownrigg, Miller, ai an d C o., E ast India merchants, and Edwards d Co., dryealters ; but neither of them will cause any loss in this town. As may be naturally supposed, the unfavourable in telligence from London has produced an injurious effect upon our market to-day ; and there has been rather less demand for cloth than on Tuesday last, though without any concession in prices. For some kinds of yarn, principally the lower numbers, there has been a little more inquiry, though at very low rates ; and, on the whole, the yarn market may be considered a shade lower than last week. We are glad to learn that the private accounts from China, received by the last overland mail, give a some what more favourable account of mercantile affairs in that country than would be collected from the Canton newspapers ; and there appears to be fair ground for expecting a remunerative business in British manufac tures, more particularly as it is understood that a great falling off has recently taken place in the export of American manufactures to the Chinese markets. It is, perhaps, worthy of remark, that the excess in the ex port of British manufactures to the United States has, of late, pretty exactly balanced the falling off in those to the East Indies ; and, therefore, with a revival of the home and continental trades, we may hope for a gradual absorption of the entire produce of this district. RocHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been another dull market to day, and the attendance of buyers has been fewer than last Monday. Prices remain much the samo. The wool dealers complain, with reason, of the limited demand there is for the raw material; but there is little hope of any change for the better during this year, al the Christmas orders are now nearly executed. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Our market of this day has been flat and inanimate. The unseasonably mild weather is not without an injurious influence on the trade of our die tric t.-11fanchester Guardian. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Less business has been done in the Piece Hall to-day than on either of the last two Saturdays, and the alight revival which had manifested itself seems to have disappeared. There is, however, an expectation that there will be a move for the better after Christmas. The demand for yarns has slightly de creased, as the export houses are now regulated in their operations by the continuance of open weather for ship ping. Prioes are without alteration, as a rule; although the necessities of the spinners lead to partial concessions. For wool there continuos a small demand, to supply im mediate need ; but prices may still be quoted in favour of the buyer. Short wools remain pretty much the same, the quantity produced being very limited. 21,689 5,043 REGENT'S CANAL COMPANY. - The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday, at the company's offices, City-road Basin; Mr. Drink water B ethune in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. RAM moved that all the minutes of the committee for the past half-year should be read, and quoted volu minous extracts from the documents in question. % The motion not having been seconded fell to the :344 ground. The CHAIRMAN read the report, from which it ap peared that the income for the past half-year amounted '% to 31,458/. Is. 54(1., while the expenditure for the same ; period was 8,068/. 19s. 7d.; and that there was, up to . present time, a profit of 13,300/. Bs. 6d., which enabled the directors to declare a dividend of 12s. 6d. per share. The report also stated that the East and West India , 14 Dock and North Birmingham Railway Company, had ,% paid the 8,0001. for withdrawing their opposition to the • Bill of that company. The report was adopted ; after which thanks were • voted to the chairman. ,% The meeting then separated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 1. :Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Common Juries.) CROW V. RENT AND OTHERS, EXECUTORS. In this case Mr. Crowder and Mr. Prentice appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Knowles, with whom was Mr. Bo- Till, appeared for the defendants. The action was brought to recover of the executors of a gentleman of the name of Phelps the sum of 1891, alleged to be due to the plaintiff, fur services rendered as a surveyor to the deceased Mr. Phelps, during the last , fourteen years of that gentleman's life. For the purpose of proving the plaintiff's case, a large number of-witnesses were called, some of whom stated that they had known the plaintiff to act in the capacity of surveyor for the deceased. Upon the cross•examina ) Lion of one of tbem, a Mr. Wood, it came out that he .5s had also sent in a claim to the executors for a large 1% amount, for wor k d one f or a s i m il ar period to that of yes the present plaintiff ; that in the year 1839 he had taken )% the beutfit of the Insolvent Act, and in his schedule had 1 91 returned M r . Ph e l ps as a cre di tor to the amount of 701, , !4 and that in the action which he contemplated bringing against the executors the present plaintiff was to be his % principal witness. Another witness stated that the 46 plaintiff was in the habit of frequently dining with the deceased ; that upon one occasion the plaintiff asked )34 him for threepence to buy some paper, and sixpence for . 6 ( l * a chop for his dinner. Mr. CROWDER, on the part of the plaintiff; said that he would not attempt to prove a number of the items in 8s the account, amounting t o about 1201., as they were clearly beyond the statute of limitations. Is. Mr. KNOWLES, in addressing the jury, denounced the 'lll case as one of the most fraudelent attempts to - fob'the estate of the deceased that had ever come under his c , notice. Was it to be supposed that a man who had not threepence to pay fur paper, or money sufficient to buy a chop for his dinner, should allow an account like the it , present to run on for a period of fourteen years ? % Mr. CROWDER said that he would admit that some eta payments hid been made on account during the life ,3' time of the decea s ed. IN Mr. libtowLEs submitted that if suc h h a d b een the . _ _ case it would have been the duty of the plaintiff to de• duct those sums from the account delivered to the - defendants. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to i „ • address the jury furth er on t h e ev id ence, w h en The LORD CHIEF BARON asked the jury whether - they thought it necessary to hear the Learned Counsel any further. The jury intimated that their minds were made up on the subject. The Lonn CHIEF BARON said that if the claim had extended only through a period of two or three years, might have h a d some chance of success ; although.it might have : been a fraudulent accoun t, st ill the manner th e p l a i nt i ff had done only b th u e t ' a p c la ti i n n g tiff in showed the extreme folly as well as fraud of the plaintiff. Price. No man would be able to live w i t h sat i sfaction or die in peace if such claims were to be allowed to be established against his estate after his d ea th. T he deceased was a gentleman who, it appeared, lived by himself, and the present plaintiff was treated by him as a friend, and no doubt expected that upon his decease his little kind offices and attentions would be re mem b ere d w i th a small legacy, but not receiving that it was a most prepos terous thing to endeavour now to establish a claim of this kind. I-Ie entirely concurred in the view which the ;ury had taken of the case. Verdict was accordingly given for the defendants. ADMIRALTY COURT, Dec. 1. THE MARY.—COLLISION. The Po, a schooner of 74 tons, belonging to Yar mouth, and the Mary, a brig of 161 tons, of Ipswich, the latter in ballast, bound to Sunderland, came in collision off Foulness, on the night of the Bth of June last. The wind was W.N.W., blowing strong. The schooner was closehauled on the starboard tack; the Mary was work ing to windward on the larboard tack. The vessels being in such a position as to be likely to meet, it was the duty of the Po to keep her conrse, and that of the Mary to give way. The simple issue, therefore, was, whether the Mary did bear up, and whether the I'o kept her course, the owners of the Mary alleging that the schooner first starboarded her helm and then ported it. The Court was assisted by Trinity Masters. After hearing the Queen's Advocate and Dr. Bayford for the Po, and Dr. Addams and Dr. 74 iss for the brig, Dr. LUSHINGTON said there were two questions for the whether the Mary did really t Mast ersgive to way d,ec a i n d d e 7h a e rn th e e i r Y' she did so in duo time. The questions were purely nautical, and he left them to the gentlemen who assisted him, without ex pressing any opinion of his own. The Trinity Masters considered the blame to be attri butable solely to the Mary; an d The COrSET pronounced for the damage claimed by the Po, and dismissed the cross action by the Mary. THE SHANNON.—SALVAGE. This was an action by two steam-tugs, the Tiger and the Joseph and William, fora remuneration on account of salvage services rendered to the Shannon, a vessel of considerable burden, laden with coals, which, whilst waiting for some of her crew outside the harbour of Shields on the 23d of February, got upon a sand. The master, though in his affidavit he declared that he was in no danger, and that by letting go an anchor and waiting for half an hour he could have got off with the tide, yet accepted the services of the two tugs. The value of the property was 1,6001. Dr. Addams and Dr. Curteis were for the salvors, and Dr. Bayford and Dr. Deane for the owners. Dr. LIISHINGTON, looking at the general aspect of the case, and considering that the vessel was on a sand on which the wind was beating, and that the accident oc curred in the month of February, could not regard the situation of the vessel as one free from the chance of peril, and from this it had been rescued by steam-power, which, in tho first place, was more efficacious, and, se condly, mo re expensive, than other power. Taking these circumstances into consideration, he should allot 110/. for the service performed, and as the owners had made no tender, ho gave the salvors their costs. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the REcoRDER and Mr. Alderman H114r1E9.) TILE CASE OF GARDNER AND HOLLIDAY.—Henry Gardner, aged 31, Thomas Holliday, aged 25, described in the calendar as merchants, were indicted, with two other persons named Loup and Seager, with conspiring to defraud several persons of a great quantity of cordage and other property. Mr. 13odki* and Mr. Huddlestone conducted the pro secution. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Robinson appeared for Gardner and Holliday. Mr. Clarkson defended Loup, and Mr. Ballantine was the counsel for Seeger. Gardner and Holliday pleaded Guilty. The two other prisoners, who had been at large upon bail, pleaded Not Guilty. Mr: BODKIN having stated at some length the cir• cuinstances of the case, the following evidence was adduced:— Mr. Samuel Benson, a jeweller on Ludgate-hill, was the first witness. He said that on the 7th of January the prisoners Gardner and Holliday came to his shop, and Holliday wished to look at a cruet and liquor-frame as he had had a commission from Hawburgh, and they were to be sent to Theberton-street, Islington, to be en closed with other goods. He selected two articles worth 9/. 155., and the prisoners — conferred together. Holliday gave him a card, on which was inscribed, " Thomas j Holliday and Co., commission agents, 6, Pinners'•hall;" and witness sent the goods as directed. The next day Holliday came alone, and said he had another commis sion, for a gold watch and chain, and he said the gen tleman who was with him the day before was a member of one of the wealthiest firms on the continent, and the watch was for that firm. Holliday showed a card of Schalkheuser and Co., 38, Moorgate-street, and he said that firm owed him a great deal of money, and if witness would let him have the watch and chaia he would get a bill from them and pay him the whole amount. Witness told him ho must make in quiries, end upon his doing so he found it would not answer, as he w a s info rme d they were all swindlers, and he declined to let Holliday have the watch and chain, and when he sent his bill for the other articles to Pin ners'-hall and Theberton-street, he found they were gone from both places. Some time after this, in consequence of something he read in the newspapers, he went to Giltspur-street prison, and recognised the prisoners Gardner and Holliday as the persons who had defrauded him of his property, and he subsequently saw the cruet and liquor-frame produced by a pawnbroker. Cross-examined —lfellistay appeared to consult Gard ner as to whether the articles he selected werecalculuted for the purpose for which they required them. Witness was formerly in the service of Messrs. Jones, in Cheap side, and when he set up in business he might have sent round circulars to all his late employers' customers. It was possible that he sent a circular to Holliday, but he did not recollect the fact. Holliday made a purchase at Messrs. Jones's, and he heard him say that he could do a good business in the export trade if it was made worth his while. Mr. Charles Reed, a pawnbroker, in Chapel-street, City-road, proved that, on the 19th of January, the pri soner Helliday pawned the two liquor-frames, in the name of Smith, for 41. 10s. Ebenezer Kibblewhite, police constable, proved that he searched a lodging occupied by Gardner, in Charlton street, Woolwich, and he there found the duplicates for the articles which were given to him by the last witness. Cross-examined—He did not know where Mr. Cuis sell was. He should be glad to know.—(A. laugh.) He searched Gardner's lodgings without having a war rant, and he took away a number of papers, love lc tters, &c. He thought they might lead to some thing.—( Laughter.) Maria Youngs proved that Gardner occupied a back bedroom in her house, for which he paid ss. a week, and at the time time of the transaction with Mr. Benson he owed her 81. Evidence was then given to show that Holliday and Schalkhr user engaged the chambers in Pinners'-hall, and cards were issued with " Holliday and Co." upon them. They were to psy 401. a-year, but decamped without paying any rent at all, and after they were gone it appeared that a good many people came to make in quiries about them. Mr. John Taylor, a furniture dealer at Islington, de posed that in December last Holliday and a foreign gentleman called upon him, and ordered furniture to the amount of 901., which was to be sent to Theberton street. The goods were sent to the direction given, and he afterwards saw Holliday and the same foreign gen tleman at the counting-house in Pinners' Hall, and, in consequence of some information he afterwards re ceived, he determined to get back his property, and he subsequently did so. Mr. PRENDERGAST, at this stage of the case, addressed the Court, and said that on the part of Holliday- he felt he could not resist those counts of the indictment charg ing the conspiracy; and Mr. ROBINSON said that he must take the same coarse with regard to Gardner, as he felt ho could not resist the evidence against him. Mr. BODKIN said that as this was the case ho should not offer any evidence upon the counts charging the obtaining of goods by false pretences, and he should now proceed to connect the other defendants with the transaction. Mr. H. T. Grey proved that by the orders of Holliday and Gardner he sent rope to the value of 911. to the Custom-house-quay marked as for shipping, and accord ing to their representations it was to be sent to the Cal e of Good Hope. The goods were to be paid for in three months, or before that period if a certain vessel should arrive in England. He gave the prisoner Seeger, who acted as Gardner and Ilolliday's clerk, the invoice and the shipping order for the goods. There was a second transaction for rope, and the invoice and the shipping order were again given to Seeger, and when he inquired for Gardner and Holliday he was told that they had gone to the docks upon the subject of a dispute about some goods, but he added that all his cordage had been shipped. By Mr. BALLANTINE.—The counting-house in Pan eras-lane presented all the appearance of bond fide busi ness being carried on, and he saw nothing to create any suspicion. He had had a transaction in business with Holliday before, and he was paid the amount of his bill, and at that time he considered him a respectable man, and should have spoken of him as such if he had been referred to. A bill of exchange was given for the amount of his bill, but he caused Gardner and Holliday to be apprehended before it arrived at maturity. Evidence was then given that the packages of rope were delivered at the Custom-house Wharf as for ship ping, and a few days afterwards an order was received for their removal, and they were taken to the Kent and Essex Wharf, Bankside, by order of the prisoner Sea ger, who went in the lighter with the goods, and repre sented them as his property, and signed the wharf-book in the capacity of their owner. They were taken away from this wharf two days afterwards by a carman, ac companied by Seager, and as they were going along he tore off the wrappers and shipping marks from the packages. It appeared that the rope was then taken to Mr Booth's, an auctioneer, in Budge-row. Mr. Booth deposed that on the 14th of June the rope in question was brought to his premises by the prisoner Seeger, and he wished to know if they would advance any money upon it. Witness told him they would if it was intended for public suction. Seager then rep - e sentecl himself as a dealer in such goods as were sold at his public sales, and he signed the book is the name of Joseph Seager, and received* an advance of 211 upon the goods, and ho gave his address in Triangle row, Camberwell. He said that the rope had cost him 465. a cwt., and witness agreed to advance him 30s. pet cwt., and the agreement was that the rope was to be sold in seven days to repay the advance and commission, if the money was not return( d before that time. The rope was advertised for sale on a subsequent day, and the evening before the day appointed Seager called upon him, and asked him to sell the rope, as he could get more money for it than it would fetch by auction, and he agreed to pass the rope at the sale if three sovereigns were given to him, and eventually the rope, was not offered for sale, and still remained in his pos-ession. By Mr. BALLANTINE—A man named Rodell was present when ieager came. He had known him 24 years, but he could not say whether he was a respectable man or not. He believed that Rodell first applied to him to know whether he would advance money upon the rope. The application was made in the first instance to his son, and Rodell afterwards introduced Seager as the owner of the rope ; and he believed he corroborated his statement that the rope had originally cost 465. per cwt. He did not think he had heard anything of Gardner or Holli day until the 3d of August. On that day he saw Holli day, but at that time nothing was said about the rope, the object of Holliday then being to know whether they would advance 1001. upon some carpenters' tools. He subsequently did advance 401. upon a quantity of tools. By Mr. BODKlN—Miring the whole of these transac tions with Seager about the rope, not a word was said about any other person thanhinaself having any property in it. By the RECORDER -•-• When Holiday came to the warehouse the rope was lying there before him, and he made no allusion whatever respecting it. Evidence was next adduced to show, with regard to another portion of the rope obtained from Mr. Grey, that it was handed over to the order of Cuissell and Co., who represented themselves as mercantile agents, and had a counting house in Lime-street, to whom it had been transferred by Holliday and Co., and that a receipt was given for it in the name of the prisoner Loup. Another case of obtaining goods was then gone into. It appeared that Gardner and Holliday purchased a large qu entity of tools from Mr Bond, a tool manu facturer in King David-lane, under the pretence that they were to be shipped, and the understanding was that rerely money was to be paid for them. The tools were sent to the Custom-house Wharf, and were afterwards removed thence and came into the possession of Cuissell and Co., Lime-street, where they had an office. In consequence of something that afterwards transpired it appeared that Mr. Bond was determined to have his goods back, and after some negotiation with Cuissell and the other parties, the prisoner Loup said that he had advanced 211. upon the property, and he had no objection to give it up if that sum were repaid him. It was then stated that it had been ascertained, although the goods had been obtained under a pretence that they were to be shipped, that they had been offered to different parties for sale for anything that could be obtained f,r them, and unless they were given up the parties would be immediately taken before the Lord Mayor ; upon this they consented that the whole of the tools should be given up, and Mr. Bond afterwards ob tained possession of th em upon an order given by the prisoner Seager. It appeared that the tools had in the meantime been pawned with M r . B oot h for 40 1 ., and, on his giving notice of his intention to sell them by auction, Holliday and Cuissell came to him, and repaid him the money, with 2/. for warehouse-room, and they took the tools away, saying that they could get a better price for them than if they were sold by auction ; and after this Loup offered them for sale to diGrent per sons, and, on his being asked on one occasion how he came to have the tools in his possession, he declined to give any answer. The next ease of fraud gone into was that upon Messrs, Routledge and Co., glove importers, Addle-street. It appeared that Holliday purchased 321. worth of gloves of this firm, and afterwards, in consequence of some communication he received from Messrs. Leaf and Co., he went to the counting-house in Pancras-lane, and saw Gardner, Holliday, and Seager, when he asked for his money, and they promised to pay him in a few days, but he never received it. The gloves, it appeared, were sold to Messrs. L •af, Barnett, and Co., at a reduction of twenty five per c-nt. upon their original price, by Cuissell, and in consequence of something that afterwards transpired, these gentlemen, it appeared, afterwards made a com munication to Messrs. Routledge and Co. upon the sub ject of the sale. - Mr. Grey was here recalled, and said that upon ap plying to Holliday for his money ho told him that his partner G ardner was at Keswlck, with 8001. in his pocket, to buy a ship. He subsequently went to a public-house, in company with some other persons, and saw Holliday and Cuisscil there, and on his asking the former if he knew Cuissell, he replied that he did not, and Cuissell then went away. When he was gone, Holliday said that Cuissell and Gardner were the rogues, and that he was the dupe. Gardner came in shortly afterwards, and he was given into custody. In answer to a question put by Mr. CLARKSON, this witness said that Loup was examined as a witness in the first instance before the Lord Mayor. The deposition made on that occasion by Loup was put in and read. It appeared that he then stated that on two occasions he did sell rope for Cuissell, and he gave the names of the parties to whom he sold it. This cloyed the case for the prosecution. Mr. CLARVION first addressed the jury for the pri soner Loup, and the defence he set up was, that there was not the slightest evidence of his having had anything to do with the original conspiracy, and that with regard to the sale of the rope, he hal acted bond fide as the agent of Cuissell, and had no guilty share whatever in the transaction. Mr. BALLANTINE made a defence of a similar character for 'Seeger, and urged that he had unfortunately come into the service of two persons who had confessed that they were swindlers, and that he had merely acted under their orders, and /Is their servant, in the share he had taken in the transaction. Witnesses were called, who gave a good character to the prisoners Loup and Seager. The former, it ap peared, was formerly in the service of a highly respect able firm in the Old Jewry, which he left on the death of the principal, and he then, it appeared, set up in busi ness on his own account, in Cateaton•street, and for some time carried on an extensive business. The IZEconoEn then summed up, and the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty of conspiracy against Gard ner, Holliday, and Zieager, and Acquitted Loup. The prisoners were sentenced—Gardner and Holliday to be imprisoned in Newgate for eighteen months, and Seager for nine months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Mr. T. Spencer Hall, whose name was identified with that of Miss Martineau a few years; since, in connexion with certain mesmeric results, applied to Mr. Henry, the sitting Magistrate, to aid him in suppressing the public sale of an offensive pamphlet, in which his own name, and that of the lady above referred to, were used iu a manner extremely annoying and repulsive. Mr.ilall produced a packet of the publication referred to, having, as he stated, bought up all the man had in his possession, and promised him more creditable em ployment for the future. The pamphlet purporting to contain certain " a s t on i s hi ng reve l at i ons, " and startling " exposures" concerning the practice of mesmerism by " libertines and hoary•headed debattchees," and other evil professors of the art, and the outrages committed upon female virtue by means thereof. Extracts from Miss Martincau's letter in the Athenwum were given relative to the command which the mesmerist was en abled to exercise over the actions of his patient, and inferences most offensive to morality were sought to be established therefrom. Mr. Hall, who was formerly a professor and lecturer on mesmerism, added, that he had now no connection with the science, but was identified with another subject. He also held a public situation, and was on that account the more annoyed at the manner in which his name had been put forth in these pamphlets. Mr. HENRY said his attention had been already called to the publication by the Society for the Suppression of Vice; but, although it was, doubtless, a most objection able production, and very offensive to the parties whose names were mentioned in it, still it did not appear to contain obscene or profane matter, such as to bring the vendor under the laws for the suppression of vice. The party might be indicted under another clause, for sel ling in the streets, fur which he was liable to a penalty of 405., but probably the man would desist if an officer were sent to film from the Court. At any rate, he would not recommend Mr. Hall to buy up these prints, or re compense the party for not selling them; or he might be treated like the gentleman who, having given sixpence to an organ grinder to keep away from his house, was afterwards continually pestered by others, who wished to be got rid of in a similar way. Mr. Hall said, the man who carried them about had a large placard, which was even more offensive than the books. His worship sent an officer with a caution from the bench, and the applicant then withdrew. MAR YLEBONE. A considerable degree of excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of this court in consequence of its having been known that Thomas Duck, a labourer employed by the parish of Paddington, was to be brought up for re examination on the heinous charge of having attempted to poison Jane Duck, his wife. She occupied a miserable apartment in White Lion place, and the prisunei had for a long time past ill used her in a most shameful manner. On Wednesday after noon, the 24th ult., she poured out three cups of tea, one for herself, the second for the prisoner, and the other for her child; she sent the latter out for a small quan tity of milk, and having waited at the street-door till she came back, they both entered the room and sat down; she put milk into each of the cups, when the prisoner, either by accident or otherwise, upset his, upon which she poured out another for him, and he drank it; she then drank her own cup, which had about it a very strange taste, so much so, as to induce a belief that poi son had been mixed therein; she emptied what remained into a basin, and finding something still adhering to the inside of the cup she took both of the utensils to a che mist, who, upon smelling them, expressed a belief that they had in them opium. Other evidence was gone into upon the first inquiry, stating that Pollard, 125 1), toile into custody the pri soner, who, on being told what he was charged with, de clared his innocence, at the same time asserting that if any poison was in a cup, it must have been put in by his wife for the purpose of destroying him; and he also al leged that a short time ago, as he had every reason to believe, his wife had put poison into a herring, of which she was extremely anxious that he should partake. At the station-house he feigned illness, and he wished to have the stomach pump applied to him, but it was quite apparent that there was no necessity fur any ope ration of the sort. Yesterday the following additional evidence tending to crimin de the prisoner was adduced:— William Lee, shopboy to Mr, Moore, chemist, Brown street, Edgeware road, deposed that on one day last week, a man whom he believed to be the prisoner, came to the shop and asked fur a pennyworth of opium for the purpose of smoking. He was not served with it, and he went away. Witness watched him, and saw him go into the shop of Mr. Grant, another chemist, in Nut ford-place. Prisoner—l never saw that boy before. Mr. Howard, assistant to Mr. Grant, said that upon one occasion last week a man came in and asked for a pennyworth of opium, which he said was for a pain in the head. He was served with about eight or ten grains, and he then went away. He could not swear that the prisoner was the person. Mr. BROUGUTON—WouId that be sufficient to de stroy life ? Witness—lt might in some cases of deli cate constitution. The wife (a poor sickly woman with an infant in her arms) went into many particulars relative to the un happy life which she endured for a long while through the ill usage of her husband, and mentioned various fonts not given by her at the first inquiry, mahy of which had a tendency to show his (prisoner's) guilty in tention. Thomas, 60 T, (one of the officers attached to Ham mersmith Police-court), said, that upon several occa sions while the parties were: located in the districtiof the eourt in question, the pour woman had complained of being cruelly treated by the prisoner, for the ap prehension of whom a warrant (here produced by the officer) had been granted. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say, denied his guilt altogether with regard to any attempt to poison his wife, but admitted that he had not behaved well to her lately; he launched out into bitter invectives against his former landlord, who had sold his bed from under him. The Magistrate, after carefully reviewing the whole of the evidence adduced in this as yet very mysterious case, remanded the prisoner till next Wednesday, at the same time giving directions to the constable to take th• eup and basin t• Dr. Leeson, at St. Thomas's Hospital, in order to ascertain if by analyzatiou at the present period further information may be gained. WORSHIP-STREET. Gorge Freeman, a porter in the employment of the Eastern Courties Railway, was charged with commit ting a series of depredations upon packages and parcels transmitted through the goods' department of the above company. Mr. John Phillips, warehouseman in the service of Mr. Thomas Buxton, a commission agent in Wood street, Cheapside, stated, that for some time past various hampers of goods they were in the habit of receiving from the house of one of their principals, at Norwich, named Geary, had been found, upon reaching their warehouse, to have been broken open in the course of their transit by railway, and robbed of part of their contents. Repeated complaints of these depredations had been made to the railway authorities, but they had been unable to obtain a clue to the offender until about three weeks since, when a bale of goods, consisting en tirely of gloves and braces, was also discovered, upon being receiv, cl from Norwich, to have been previously opened, and that the whole of twelve parcels it contained had been broken into and a quantity of the goods ab stracted from each, and one parcel stolen altogether. He had since been shown a pair of braces by one of the railway officers, and he felt satisfied, from their make and appearance, that they had formed part of one of the parcels in question, with the remainder of the contents of which they exactly corresponded. James Sparks, inspector of gatekeepers at the goods' station, deposed, that having been directed to keep a vigilant eye upon the porters as they left the premises, he watched the prisoner as he was going through one of the gates, and having noticed that his jac ket p rotruded very much from something bulky beneath it, he insisted upon searching him, and found him in possession of a dress cost, which had never been worn, and had the maker's label still attached to the collar. He afterwards searched the prisoner's lodgings, and there, amongst other articles, discovered 4he braces identified by the last witness. Francis Edwards, packer to Messrs. Hyams and Co., Evidence was then adduced to show that Loup dis posed of the greater portion of the second quantity of rope obtained from Mr. Grey, and it appeared that, upon one occasian, when he was offered 355. a cwt. for the rope, he declined to take that sum until he had consulted his principal, and he afterwards consented to take the sum offered. He stated to the person who purchased it that he did not know who the maker was, but he sold it for a gentleman who had advanced money upon it, and he made out the invoices in the name of " H. Cuissell," who, he said, was his prineipal. Kibb!ewhite, the constable, was then recalled, and be said that when he served the summons upon the prisoner Loup to attend as a witness, he told him that ho knew very little about Conseil, and that the sale of the rope was the only transaction he had ever had with him, and he added that he knew nothing whatever of Holliday or Gardner. clothiers ofColchester, identified the coat produced, which he stated had formed part of a truss transmitted by the railway to their establishment in town, on the 24th When called upon for his defence the prisoner, who had at first protested his innocence, and declared that the articles were his own property, honestly purchased, said he should reserve what he had to say for another opportunity; and Mr. Hemmul, ordered him to be brought up again for the depositions to be completed. CLERKENWELL. Martin Bowman, a well known thief, was charged by Mr. John Burdett Gibbons, of 45, Hatton•garden, with stealing a quantity of silver plate and other property. On the 26th August last the prosecutor's servant was employed cleaning some mats in front of the house, and whilst thus engaged some thief entered the house, and, proceeding to the drawing-room, stole the property and made his escape. On the same day the prisoner called at the house of Mr. Collingridge, refiner, of 27, Wil derness-row, and presented a quantity of silver plate and gold watch cases, all of which were broken, and offered them for sale, saying that his master, Mr. Ander son, of Hatton-garden, had become security for a loan of 501., and wanted to sell the articles to make up the money. Mr. Collingridge told him it was very strange that Mr. Anderson should make such a sacrifice, and break up such valuable property, but he weighed the articles, eve the prisoner a memorandum of the weight, and detained them, telling the prisoner he would not part with them until Mr. Anderson called himself. The prisoner left, and had not been since seen or heard of until he was apprehended on Tuesday night last by Sires, of the G. division. Mr. Collingridge produced the property, and identified the prisoner. _ . Mr. Gibbons identified the articles as being his pro perty. Sires deposed, that he had received information of the robbery and a description of the prisoner, whom he knew. He met him on Tuesday night last in Charles street', Hatton-garden, and told him he wanted him for a robbery. The prisoner asked, " What robbery r Witness said, "At Mr. Gibbons' in Hatton-garden, in August last." The prisoner said, "How can that be, when I have been in America for the last seven or eight months past ?" The prisoner being asked if he wished to say anything to the charge, denied all knowledge of the robbe r y , or that he had offered th e p ro p erty for sale. On the 4th °f June last he went to New York with his uncle, i n the Fidelia, and he remained there two months, disagreed. He received a letter (now produced) from his mother, informing him that she had sepa rate d from his father, and w i s hi ng hi m ( t h e pr i soner) to r eturn io England ; he wor k e d hi s passage b ack to L i ver pool on board the Sardini a , w h en C apta i n Woodward gave him 308. to come to Lond on by t h e ra il way. when they In answer to a question, the prisoner said the Sardinia was now lying in Waterloo-dock, Liverpool. Inspector Perry said, that on the 11t h of August the prisoner was brought to this court charged with havi n g entered the house of Dr. Wakefield with intent to orl mit felony, when he was sentenced to fourteen days' Im prisonment in the House of Correction by Mr. Tyrwhice He was released f rom p r i son on t h e 26t h o f August , t he very day of the robb er y a t M r . Gibb ons '. The prison e r had been several times in custody, and WBB well known. Moss, G, also identified the prisoner. The prisoner still denied being the person, and It e tively adhered to hi s d en i a l o f t h e ro bb er y, and that de was at the time in A mer i ca . H e sa id t h a t, when outs i de the court, Mr. Collin gr id ge sa id h e cou ld not swear Id him, and the officers told him he must do so, or it would . be no good. His mo th er was i n cour t, and she co ald prove that he was in America at the time of the robber/ at Mr. Gibbons'. Mr. COMBE asked Mr. Collingridge if the prisonet was the person who offered the property for sale? Mr. Collingridge—l believe he is. Mr. ComnE—Have you any doubts? Mr. Collingridge—l have no doubts. Mr. COMBE said, he should remand the prisoner for week. The officers were instructed to make every possiblet hiner quiry during th e i n t er i m , an d i t i s pro bable that o charges may be brought forward against the prisoner. He was then conveyed to prison. RAILWAY SHARE MAItKE LIVERPOOL, DECEMBER 1. STOCK EXCIIANGE.-Th e sa l es are -Birkenhead , -L,anea shire, and Cheshire 31/.

STORY Or THE PENINSULAR WAR. ---111 T. uolourn has just rendered an acceptable service to the public by printing in a cheap single volume a Complete History of the Peninsular War as a companion to that of the Battle of Waterloo. It is founded on the celebrated narrative of the Marquis of Londonderry, who , it will be recollected took so active a part in the grea t struggle, and who from his near relationship to the War Minister of the day, had opportunities of acquiring knowledge which perhaps, no other individual (the commander o f the forces alone excepted) could enjoy. The present publi cation, as complt ted by its able e ditor, is certainly emi nently calculated to satisfy all who take an interest in the glorious period to which it refers, and to be regarded as a worthy and indispensable companion to " The Story of the Battle of Waterloo.
