Mr. Wood, commissiomagent, was in the plaintiff's shop a few days before the fire, when the stock appeared to be a large one ; and, judging from his dealings with the plaintiff, and from what he saw in the shop, he estimated the value at between £3,000 and £4,000. To Mr. Sergeant Wilkins : Did not know that the plaintiff sold goods to pawnbrokers. Mr. John Pearson, of Manchester, deposed to selling goods to the amount of £137 19s. 6d. to the plaintiff in the three months before December. Mr. Hill was proceeding to call a number of other wit nesses to show that, within the three months preceding the fire, the plaintiff had purchased goods to the amount of £7,776 19s. 10d., when Mr. Sergeant Wilkins said he would admit that not only that amount, but if his learned friend desired it, that goods to the amount of £50,000 had entered his shop. Mr. Pring, traveller for Messrs. Jones and Co., creditors of the plaintiff, deposed that, in August last, he went through the plaintiff's stock, and found it to be worth upwards of £4,000. In November he was again in the shop, and found the stock materially increased. To Mr. Allerton : Iu examining the stock we did not take the goods out of the drawers, merely judging of theli value by the bulk. This closed the evidence for the plaintiff. FRIDAY, Mannar 31.

Plaintiff's shop, which appeared Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, in addressing the jury for the defence, said he should prove that plaintiff had knowingly and wilfully prepared himself for the catastrophe to which he now sought to attribute his ruin, The plaintiff had stated that he was not interested hi the issue of the case, whereas no one could be more deeply involved in it, while the witnesses were scarcely less interested, inasmuch as upon the result dependedtheamountof dividend they would derive from the estate. The learned sergeant next pro ceeded to examine the evidence of the witnesses, two of whom, he said, had valued the woollen stock at the same price, £2,500, whereas he should show by the evidence of respectable appraisers, that those goods were worth only from £1,700 to £l,BOO. He should further prove, that the statements as to the quantity of broad cloth contained in the boxes were grossly. exaggerated; and that, in fact, they would contain only about half the quantity, if even steam pressure were applied. He would further show what was the position of the plaintiff before the fire ; and how he had conducted himself then and since. He should prove that his creditors had become importunate ; that he had not furnished an accurate state ment of his accounts ; that he made an appointment to meet them on a certain day, but did not, making an ex cuse that. he overslept himself ; that on the night of the fire he sent his wife out of the way, and that he had given various excuses for doing so, and made conflicting state ments as to where she went. He should show also some of the modes he adopted on the night before the fire took place to get rid of a large quantity of stock ; that, on the night before the fire, he insisted on the payment of certain money ; that on the night of the fire the plaintiff was himself the last on the premises, and that if a fire had ac cidentally broken out he must have seen it. He had himself thought much of the case, early in the morning and late at night, and it had likewise been a cause of anxiety to him while in bed, and the only conclusion to which he could arrive was, that the plaintiff had been guilty of a shocking attempt at fraud. —Daring the deli very of these words, Mr. James, Q.C., smiled significantly ; whereupon the learned sergeant, with great solemnity, look him to task for so much frivolity on a matter of such grave interest; observing that "every dog had his day," and that he supposed his learned friend was endeavouring to make an impression on the jury.—Mr. James thanked his learned friend for his civility.—Mr. Sergeant Wilkins concluded his address by stating, that he should satisfy the jury that this was a fraudulent claim, bolstered up by misrepresentation and gross exaggeration. Thomas Place examined.—Said he was in the employ of Messrs. Arthur and George Holme, and made the model produced. The fixtures are an exact representation of those in the shop, the scale being on aninch to the foot. Mr. Thomas Gray, sub-manager of the Insurance Com pany, was next called, when Mr. Hill drew attention to the fact that he had been in court during part of the case. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins expressed his surprise, observing that he did not know Mr. Gray from Mr. Black. His evi; deuce was allowed to be taken. He stated that, on the morning after the fire, he went on the plaintiff's premises ; he saw the plaintiff, who told him that he and his shop men were the last persons in the shop on the previous night ; that lie had a lighted candle in the shop shortly before closing ; that he had left bank notes on the counter, to the value of £25,015, all of which had'been destroyed, as well as all the books and documents. Previously to this conversation, witness had found a book in a drawer, which he believed to be a stock:book. On questioning him as to his receipts, he (plaintiff) said he had taken as much as £3OO, £4OO, and £soo—in'no week less than £5O. He asked plaintiff if he had made shipments to Australia, and he replied-that he had net. Witness did not supply the claimant's demand, because the evidence he .placed before'him was unsatisfactory. To Mr. Hill : Had employed detectives to-see 'if they could find that any portion of the plaintiff's property had passed into other hands about the time of the fire.—To the Jury : We have not - discovered that any goods were shipped by the plaintiff to Australia.—His Lordship: That was a rumour which, no doubt, has given rise to much of the suspicion against the claimant. Mr. John Thomas, auctioneer and appraiser, Manchester, said that, on the 13th- of December last, he was employed by the Royal Insurance Company to value the - plaintiff's salvage stock. He did so, and made a liberal suggestion. It appeared to the witness, from the appearance of the place when he inspected it, "as if the premises had been set on fire in three Places." From what he saw of the state of the shop, he calculated that, if well stocked, it would contain from £2,000 to £2,800. In his opinion, 'judging from the appearance of the shop; he was convinced that there was -nothing but mufflers. ties, &c. He did not think that :a large stock of woollen goods had been consumed ; for, in that case, the whole building must have come down; nothing could save it. - Woollen cloths burned very slowly it would take a long time to consume £5OO worth. The total amount of the valuation of the stock, according to the statement of Tomkins, the shopman, amounted to £2,139 7s. M. In his opinion, this was at - least 20 per cent. over the real value.—To Mr. James : s Witness was an auctioneer, at Man chester, as well as " High-bailiff to the city. court." Was not the "brim-bailiff."—Mr. Sergeant Wilkins : My friend asks him if he is "bum-bailiff,' because he believes he may be kicked. (Langhter.)--To Mr. James : The value of the salvage would be.about £3OO. The value of those goods, before burned, I should say would be from £1,200 to £1,400. He believed that the place was set on fire in three places. Thomas Thistle, formerly woollen draper and outfitter, in St. James's-street, Liverpool, gave similar .esidence as to the value of the stock and the salvage. At this stage of the case, the court adjourned until 9 o'clock in this morning. [About three o'clock, Mr. Hill, Q.C., called •the atten tion of Mr. Baron Platt to the fact that his learned brother, Mr. Justice Cresswell, had left the court, being obliged to go to London. There were still a number of .common jury cases - to be .disposed of, and his lordship would perhaps take into consideration what arrangements should 'be taken to meet the public convenience.—His Lordship replied that it was most desirable to get through the common jury cases as speedily as posssible, in order to dismiss the jury.—lt was .ultimately decided that Mr. Baron Platt should take two common jury cases, in which Mr. Watson, Q.C., is concerned, the first thing this morn ing, and that Mr. Watson .shovid dispose of the remainder of those cases, to leave the learned judge at liberVto proceed with those marked for special jury.] hit LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.

Patrick Costello, an incorrigible boy, who has been several times before the magistrates, was brought up for attempt ing to steal some coal from a wheelbarrow, which John Williams, another boy, was wheeling along Maguire street, on Saturday night ; ,and when Williams's father came up, Costello struck the boy on the eye with a piece of broken mug, which burst the ball of the eye and de prived him of sight.

ROBBERY BY AN 'ERRA.ND Boy. — William Hobson, errand boy, was charged with stealing several pairs of shoes from the shop of Mr. Lowe, Paradise-street. On being apprehended, the prisoner said his sister wanted a pair, so he took them home. He was remanded till this :day- DARING STREET ROBBERY.—John Thompson, James 1 1. ..2cleston, Win. Hunt, Michael Hegan, and Henry Hegan, were charged with a violent assault and robbery upon Mr. Reed, in Rose-place, on Saturday night.—Superintendent Ride stated that, about a quarter to eleven o'clock on Saturday night, Mr. Reed (who is a coal-agent, and re sides in Upper Beau-street,) went to Rosehill-station, and gave information that he had been robbed ; upon which he took another officer and accompanied Mr. Reed in the direction of Buchanan's public-house, when he identified the two Hogans as being present at the time of the rob bery. Superintendent Ride apprehended the two men, who immediately stated that they were present, and saw Eccieston and Thompson running away. Upon receiving this information, the two latter were soon afterwards Apprehended by Superintendent Ride.—Mr. Reed stated that, as he was going up Rose-place, he was assaulted by several men, one of whom pulled him back, and another put his hand over his eyes. He was then nearly strangled, and his pockets rifled of £1 10s. and a tobacco-box. He was rendered nearly insensible, and. one of the men struck him on the mouth, after which they all ran away. He saw the two Hegans, but did not believe they took an active part in the assault. Thompson was the man who held him, and Eccieston took the money from his pocket. There were ten or eleven men altogether.—Superintendent Ride here requested, that the two Hegans might be discharged, as there did not appear to be any evidence against them. —Mr. Dodd, the prisoner Eccleston's solicitor, objected to this course of proceeding ; and Mr. Owen appealed to the bench against Mr. Dodd's objection.—The Hegans were then discharged from custody, and Henry Hegan was examined as a witness. He stated that he and his brother had been having a quart of ale at Buchanan's public house, and, on coming out, saw Eccieston and two or three more men running away from . where the robbery was committed ; they merely went to see what was the matter. —Michael Hegan was next examined, and identified the three prisoners as the parties who were running away.— On being apprehended, Thompson admitted that he robbed the man, but no money was found upon him. Hunt was apprehended on Sunday night.—Mr. Reed said Hunt was present, but he could not swear that he took part in the assault. Hunt was then discharged from custody.—Mr. Dodd addressed the bench in defence of Eccleston ; at the conclusion of which Thompson and Eccleston were both committed for trial at the assizes: COTTON STEALING. — Ann Sheridan, of Back Leeds street, and John Whitehead, were charged with having a quantity of cotton in their possession, supposed to have been stolen. Mr. Clough said the woman had been in custody several times, and her house had been repeatedly watched, in consequeliCV o f the merchante missing cotton, and she was suspected of receiving and sending it away. On this occasion detective Grisenthwaite proved that a quantity had been removed from her house to the railway station, and Whitehead gave directions to the carter who conveyed the cotton. The latter was discharged with a caution ; but Ann Sheridan was committed for a month. A FLOUR-STEALER.—Anu Dufl'y, a girl who is well known as a regular dodger, about the docks, and has been already convicted of stealing cotton, was committed for two months, for having a quantity of flour in her posses sion, which she could give a very indifferent account of. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Joshua Taylor, a man who had been sometime since employed as shopmau at the eating-house of Mrs. Armitage, Dale-street, was brought up for stealing a quantity of silver spoons, wearing apparel, and other articles, from the house of his mistress, with which he decamped in November last. He was also charged with stealing a carpet bag from the shop of Mr. Picton, in Lime-street, since the committal of the previous robbery. Tickets of several of the articles were found in the prisoner's possession. He was committed for trial.

He gave information to a policeman, and the prisoners were appre hended. A half-sovereign was found upon one of the prisoners. They were both committed for three months. MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Wednesday a painful sen sation was created throughout the Regent's Park district of St. Pancras by the discovery of a shocking murder and suicide, at 47, Clarence-gardens. The house was tenanted by James Martin, a shoemaker, about 57 years of age, who, with his wife, occupied the parlours, letting the remainder out in lodgings, one of the upper rooms to his married daughter and her husband. Shortly after eight o'clock on Wednesday morning Mrs. Whybrow, Martin's daughter, came down stairs, and not finding either her father or mother up as usual, knocked several times at the front parlour door, ocupied as their bedroom, but receiving no answer, she effected an entrance, and then discovered the place deluged with blood, and the lifeless bodies of her parents lying across each other on the bed with their throats cut in a shocking manner. Her screams imme diately brought the other lodgers and neighbours to her assistance, and it was then discovered that the murderer and his victim were quite dead and cold. A shoemaker's knife, covered with blood, was found on the bed near the right hand of the former. Both Martin and his wife were in their ordinary night-dress. On searching the room a letter, now in the possession of the police, was found, and identified by the daughter as being in the handwriting of Martin, stating the circumstances which had led him to the commission of so horrible a crime. From this it would appear that Martin was in very embarrassed circumstan ces, and that he had promised to pay his landlord half a year's rent, which was due to him that day, but was unable to do so. He (Martin) was under au impression that his goods would be seized, and that he and his wife would have to go to the workhouse, to prevent which he resorted to this terrible alternative. _ THE NEW ACT ON THE COASTING TRADE, which has just received the royal assent on Thursday, repeals the 152 d and 191st sections of the 16th and 17th of Victoria, c. 107, and enables the Queen to exercise retaliatory powers, as in the 324th and two following sections of the same act. This act destroys " the last rag of protection," as stated, providing by the 2d clause that every foreign ship which, after the passing of the act, is employed in carrying goods or passengers coastwise from one part of the United Kingdom to another, or from the Channel Islands to the United Kingdom, or from the United King dom to any of the said islands, or from any of them to any other of them, or from any part to any other part, " shall be subject, as to stores for the use of the crew, and in all other respects, to the same laws, rules, and regulations to which British ships when so employed are now subject."• Further, by the 3d section it is enacted, that foreign ships employed in the coasting trade shall not be subject to higher rates than British ships, and with respect to pas sengers it is stated to be expedient to provide for the safety of passenger steamers ; and it is enacted by the con clnding provision that every foreign steam vessel carrying passengers from one place to another on the coast of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Channel Islands shall be subject to the provisions of the Steam Navigation Act, 1851. The coasting trade is now thrown open to foreign vessels in the same manner as to British ships. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

The Russian Emperor had actually ordered the usual piece of plate, 'but the stewards of the Jockey Club, in conjunction with the Master of the Buckheunds, have determined to decline the gift. A series .of mishaps occurred in the race for the North amptonshire Stakes, on Wednesday last,. by which the lives of several of the jockeys were placed i n great danger. At the top turn, one of the horses ran against Swiftsure, and drove him .over a post, which inflicted a severe wound under one of 'his knees. 'The horse falling on his head, the rider (C. Prior) was thrown on his neck, and in endea vouring to recover the saddle, his spurs lacerated the horse's shoulders, _one of them afterwards becoming fixed between the girth and his side. This caused him to break away, and on reaching the half-mile post he swerved to the inside, and the rider of Ptolemy (Bates) being unable to pull him off, he struck into Swiftsure's heels, and fell heavily, Swiftsure receiving a deep cut iu the hollow of the heel from one of Ptolemy's plates. Several horses following in Ptolemy's track avoided him, but Mr. Sykes ,(ridden by Preece) fell over him; and the confusion was heightened the next instant by Veteran (ridden by 011i ver) and Red Lion (ridden by Cartwright) coming into collision, and falling over the other two. Little 011iver was up in an instant, apparently unhurt, but Cartwright, Preece, and Bates lay on the ground insensible. They were immediately assisted by the bystanders, and removed to the town in flys. Bates at first suffered severely from one of the horses kicking him on the head whilst on the ground, but was able to get about again during the even ing. Cartwright and Preece are both severely injured, and are still obliged to keep their beds. Red Lion and Veteran escaped scatheless ; Mr. Sykes received a bad wound in the tendon of the off hind leg; and Ptolemy was so seriously injured in the hip as to make it extremely doubtful if he will ever run again.

MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER.—An unvarying state of dulness and inaction has characterised the market throughout the whole of the week, and prices are further unfavourably affected, and more generally reduced. The stringency of the money market, which is a material ingredient of the present inaction, has not been so excessive this week, but buyers are not the less cautious, and orders are allowed to remain on their books unexecuted, it being deemed preferable to defer their execution, both on account of the monetary difficulties of the present period, and from an expectation of still lower prices. LEEDS.—The markets this week were very dull at the cloth halls, and the transactions out of the market have been of the same character. ' Prices are without any alteration, except pilot cloths, Whitneys &c., the stocks of which are accumulating. We have had quite as many buyers in the town as usual at this season, but they pur chase to so limited an extent that the transactions of the week may be quoted at below an average. BRADFORD.--Wool: There is the same dulness as for some weeks past, and any sales that are made are in favour of the buyer. Noils and brokes are not plentiful, so few being made that they command full prices. —Yarns : The buyers for shipping are doing very little. For the home market there is no improvement, and the prices ruinous to the spinner. —Pieces : There is not much doing in piece goods, and the sales now effected are such as will not near cover cost price. NOTTINGHAM. Owing to the tightness of the money market the hosiery and lace trades are more depressed, but each may be a little improved shortly, as the Americans, who have nothing to do with the war, must supply their wants, and the consumption in this country must continue, although it may be in some sort diminished. The price of yarn, as of other things, is unsteady. LEICESTER.—There is no disposition to buy any goods .except for immediate supply. Little doing in wools ; the farmers are not pushing sales, and all are waiting to see the effect war will have on prices. CORN. LIVERPOOL, llancu 31.—At to-day's market we have a fair attendance of country millers, and the usual number of the local trade ; the demand for most descrip tions of foreign wheat has become more general, some of the interior buyers took rather freely, and we quote an advance of 4d to 6d per bushel over Tuesday's currency; there was some inquiry on speculation, but the bulk of the transactions was with consumers. Flour was in good, but not extensive, request, at an improvement of is 6d per barrel, and the sales were chiefly for consumption ; the majority of the parcels offering to-day was not of prime quality. Barley is unaltered in value or demand. Beans have improved is per quarter. Oats move steadily at an amendment of ld per bushel, and oatmeal is taken more freely at 6d per load advance, several parcels finding buyers for Shipment coastwise. • With the large supply of Indian corn, buyers held off, and little was done, though importers would have conceded a trifle to make sales. .

Oats were likewise 2d per bushel dearer, and oatmeal 6d to is per load. Beans and other articles brought full but no higher prices., PRESTON, APRIL I.—The supply of English wheat at our Corn Exchange to-day was insignificant, and it was readily cleared at 2s to 3s per windle over the currency of last Saturday. Irish, Scotch, and foreign was more sought after, and about 10d per bushel more money realized. Flour 2s per pack and 3s per barrel dearer.. Beans is per windle higher, but the demand is chiefly restrieted.to fine samples suitable for seed. Oats in more request at a 4 advance of ld per bushel.* Oatmeal has likewise attracted more attention, the bade closing firm with buyers at an improvement of is per load. WAKEFIELD, MAncn 31.—T0-day fine dry qualities of wheat scarce, and fetch extra rates, whilst for all useful millers' sorts there is a fair business passing, at an im provement of fully 68 per quarter. Barley is in better demand, and fine fresh qualities sell over last week's rates. Oats and shelling fetch more money. Beans are steady, at full prices, but the demand is limited. VirISBECH, APRIL I.—There has only been a few samples of wheat offering here to-day, which generally makes 10s per quarter more than last week. Oats 2s, beans 3s dearer. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, .A PHIL I.—We have had great excitement at our market here this morning, and all wheat must be noted fully 8s per quarter above the prices of• last Saturday. The supply from the country was small. Barley more inquired after, and is to 2s per quarter dearer. In oats an advance of is per quarter must be noted. Flour a ready sale at Gs to 8s per sack over the prices of this day week. CORK, Arm'. I.—Our market, which opened very dull this week, became greatly excited towards its close, and some sales of wheat took place at an advance of 3s per barrel from lowest point, and of Indian corn at an im provement of I.os per ton. Flour sold freely at late re duction, but any advance demanded checks business. Oat meal met more inquiry. DUBLIN, MARCH 31.—1 n consequence of the excite ment in the English markets, holders of all descriptions of grain here to-day demanded a considerable advance ; but buyers were very cautious, and only small transactions occurred. We note wheat 6d to ls, oats 3d to 6d, and Indian corn 2s to 3s dearer than on Tuesday.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 3.—There was a large supply of cattle, and about 1,000 less sheep at market than on this day week, the numbers being, beasts, 2,171; sheep, 3,984.

Sheep were rather short as to number, with firm prices also—sav 6 d, ond, 7fd, to 7id ; veal, 9d per lb., also in sink. House lambs, 24s to 26s each. In the pig market, prices looking downwards. A large supply of half-finished kinds—prices, 45s to 47s per cwt.; pork, &id per lb. PROVISIONS, FRIDAY, Mellen 31.—The sales of beef are to a full average extent at steady prices, and the dealers now buy with rather more confidence. Pork is firm, but not active. and in the absence of shipments from France, stocks be come reduced. At a reduction of about ls, per cwt. there is a moderately fair demand for bacon. Shoulders and hams are inquired for. Lard has been in very active de mand, and prices have advanced during the week fully 3s. per cwt. The advance in tallow has brought forward a new class of buyers for lard. No new feature in cheese. APEIL 3.—There was a good inquiry for butter of very fine quality all last week, and a few small lots were readily sold on arrival at 1088 to 112 s. The stock, which is .now in a very narrow compass, consists chiefly of Limerick and Sligo, which the dealers purchase reluctantly at 94e to 98s.

LIVERPOOL—SeveraI small vessels have arrived from the north of Europe with mixed cargoes of sleepers, spars, and timber, part of which are on account of the retail merchants ; the other cargoes have not yet been offered for sale, and the transactions in woods have been confined to retail from the yard. No arrivals of colonial timber to report. Two lots of deals have arrived from St. John, N. 8., one a cargo some months on the way; both cargoes are in course of yarding on importers' account, without being offered for sale. The stocks in the country are unusually small at this season of the year, and buyers have held off till something decisive was known in reference to the war with Russia. This being now certain, the markets has been cleared of all the cargoes on sale at advancing rates, and nearly one-fouth of the entire stock has changed hands during the last week.

Cases that the most eminent medical prac titioners have despaired of relieving, immediately yield to its curative powers, and when used i n accordance with the printed directions which accompany each pot, with Hollaway's Pills, the two combined thoroughly eradicate the most pestilential diseases, and leave the sufferer without a blemish. BURNS, the Scottish bard, designated the Toothache "the hell of all diseases." And he was not far wrong. This hell, however, is not a " bottomless pit." Fill up the cavity of the decayed tooth, and the torturing fires are extinguished. ,i,iiigiilci sihcthh Brande's Enamel, placed in the decayed spot, prevents irri tating substances from reaching the nerve, and kindling that inflammation therein, which gives the terrible pain known as toothache. This sub stance: is used, without heat, in a soft state, and becomes hard in a few minutes, rendering unsound teeth painless and useful for many years.
