PASSING BASE CoIN.—A female, named Elizabeth Heslop, respectably dressed, and aged 31 years, was charged for attempting to pass a base sovereign, at Salford, on the 3rd of February. Mr. Bliss, Q.C. and Mr. Cdbbett appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was unde fended by counsel. On the date in question, the prisoner went into a staymaker's shop in Salford, kept by a person named Lee, and having purchased a pair of stays, tendered a sovereign in payment. It was discovered that the coin was base, and Mrs. Lee threatened to call in a police man, and the prisoner then ran away, but was soon apprehended by an officer. The jury found the prisoner guilty.

As they were walking together through Bridge-street, the prisoner put his hand in prosecutor's pocket, and with the other knocked him down. The man lay on the ground for a short time, and on recovering he found that Bs. had been abstracted from his pocket. The prisoner was identified by several witnesses as the man who had been in company with the prosecutor, after the time he was robbed. The prisoner was found guilty, and a previous conviction for felony having been proved against him, he was sentenced to four years' Pe Jnal servitude - .

His Lordship stated that the prisoner had been before the courts on twelve different occasions. BIGAMY Y AN ACTOR.—Edward Harley Tannett, aged 35, a travelling comedian, was indicted for bigamy. It was deposed that the prisoner had married Emma Julia Dennis at Manchester, his former wife being then alive. Mr. Wheeler appeared for the defence. The prisoner was first married on the Ist October, 1844, at Nottingham, to Sarah 'Wilson. When he was engaged as an actor, and after his marriage, his wife also went on the stage, and she was y separated from her husband in.consequenee of gagements in different parts cf,the country. 1857, the prisoner was engaged at the aeatre, and during the engagement he inted with the young woman Dennis, sying at Hulton's beerhouse, in the The prisoner went to Whitehaven, occasional)_ their having e In Septembel Birkenhead '. became acau who was then vicinity of .Lcquest, Dennis joined him there.

In January, 1858, they arrived in Manchester, and, on the 26th of that month, they were married at St. Barnabas's Church in that city. The wife soo afterwari ors. , and the arrived in Manches second wife becoming aware of the fact, sold the furniture which had been purchased to furnish the house which was taken by the prisoner, and then gave him into custody. Before the police, the prisoner strongly protested that, he had never been formally married to the first wife, but•that he had simply cohabited with her. No evidence -to the contrary having been produced, he was discharged. Subsequently Dennis again met the prisoner and lived together as man and wife for four months, when he was again apprehended and committed for trial. The facts having been adduced by Mr. Wheeler, in cross- Examination of the second wife, Dennis, he advised the prisoner to withdraw his plea of , not guilty.

During the first time, the prisoner W allowed his portion of ,. t wife a weekly sum for her mainte,aance. Some time ago, however, the prisoner ceased to live with Haslindan, and on the sth December married, at St. Michael's Church, in this town, Martha Tonge. In consequence of this, Hitslinden which led to the gave information to the apprehension and committal of the prisoner.

BURGLARY AT Liv . m tPon.—Augusta Brumbaum, aged 28, a Frenchman, was indicted for having, at Liverpool, on the 3rd of January last, burgiariously entered the dwelling house of John Kirkpatrick, with intent to steal. Mr. Temple appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was undefended by counsel. It appeared that a policeman, while going his rounds, noticed the p r i soner come out of the garden of Mr. Kirkpatrick's house. The officer watched him through various streets and saw him re-enter the garden. Shortly afterwards he heard some glass smashed, and on going to the house, found the cell ar w i ndow broken ' open. The inmates of the house were aroused, and on the house being searched, the prisoner was discovered in the place, and was removed by the policeman to b r id ewell. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to s' imprisonment with hard labour. AND ROBBERY AT LIVERPOOL.—John James, 2 2. was indicted for having assaulted Henry Salzer, a cotton olerk, at Liverpool, and stolen from his person a match-box.

He was-sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. ROBBERY AT MANCHESTER. Hayman, 20, Richard Pickup, 21, and Hugh Lanagan, 28, were indicted for having committed a robbery at Manchester. It appeared that on the night of the 10th Deceinber last, about 12 o'clock, the prosecutor, John Smith, , a draper's assistant, was proceeding home, and when in Low-fields he passed the three prisoners. Shortly afterwards !Hayman caught hold of him by the neck, whilst Pickup held his hands, and Lanagan robbed him'of his gold chain.

M'GILL v. THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY The jury , were sworn in this case, but Wheeler, upon the part of the plaintiff, asked for the in dulgence of the court for &few minutes while the plaintiff, who was absent, was being sent for. He stated that the plaintiff was in court during the whole of yesterday, but, unfortunately, was not then . present. His Lordship waited for about ten minutes, but at the expiration of that time, as the plaintiff did not make his appearance and the learned i his opening statement, he out. His Lordship added, that he would not restore it, declaring that with such a cause list as that before,him, it was absolutely necessary they should begin punctually and early. I not p .d the c JEAVES AND ANOTHER V. WILSON.—This was an action upon a bill of exchange. The plaintiffs were brush manufacturers carrying •on business in Sheffield and in Manchester, and the defendant was a grinder in Sheffield, where he also carried on a " hair-seating" business—the latter, however, being managed entirely by his wife. It appeared from the evidence for the plaintiffs, that a quantity of hair, value £96 55., was sold by them to the defendant, in June last, and two bills of exchange received in part payment. One bill was for £27, at four months, and the other for £27 6s. 6d., at - five months. The balance, being £42 Bs., was to be taken out in curled hair, and a quantity of such hair, to the value of £l2 2s. Bd. 'was actually delivered. A balance of £3O 16s. 2d. still remained, and for this Mrs. Wilson proposed to give a third bill, stating that it was not in her power to supply any more curled hair. A third bill was accordingly drawn and accepted to fall due a month later than that for £27 2s 6d. The bill for £27 was met when it fell due . that for £27 2s 6d was dishonoured, but two separate sums of £lO were paid on account of it. The bill for £3O 16s 2d was also dishonoured, and after repeated promises of payment had been made, the present action was brought to recover the balance remaining due upon the whole transactions. The defendant pleaded a sett-off, and denied any liability at present, except as regarded a trifling sum of between £3 and £4, which amount had peen pain into the uourt question which had to be decided in the whether a quantity of curled hair, amounting in value £42 18s beyond that which has just been mentioned, had or had not been delivered to the plaintiffs. The evidence was very conflicting upon this point, it being positively deposed by witnesses for the defence, that 6 cwt. of curled hair had been delivered in the plaintiff's premises, which was alto gether denied upon the part of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs admitted having received two cwt of curled hair, which had been already referred to, but all knowledge of the de livery of an additional quantity of six cwt, stated to have been delivered by the defendant's daughter, was denied. The defendant's daughter deposed that she took curled hair, which she believed was of the weight of 6 .cwt. to the plaintiff's premises, sometime in June. She fixed the time by stating that it was immediatly before the poultry show in Sheffield. Her brother Thomas, a boy, was with her, she stated, at the time. Upon this point the question at issue in the case completely turned. Mr. Monk, Q.C., conducted the plaintiff's case ; Mr. Atherton, Q.C., with Mr. *ones, appeared for the defendant. The ease was, to r olac BIRMINGHAM V. SHAW.-Mr. James, Q.C., said that in this case the parties had consented to have a verdict taken for £25. It was an action brought for assault and false imprisonment, but that was not really the material question at issue. The real question was one of an imputa tion upon the character of the plaintiff, which had now been wholly withdrawn, and it was therefore agreed that a verdict should be taken by consent. Mr. Overend, Q.C., said, although his client (the defendant) had acted in the first instance with perfect bond fide, and without malice, he was quite satisfied that the charge ought never to have been made —he regretted that it had been made, and completely withdrew it. A verdict was then given for £25. WATKINSON V. HULME. - This was an action for slander. The declaration stated that the defendant had slandered the plaintiff, by stating that she had had a child, and had used poisonous medicines, &c., &c. Mr. Overend, Q.C., for the defence, stated that his client was satisfied the statement had no foundation whatever in fact. His client was not the originator of the slander, but had unfortunately repeated what was said by another, and then became the publisher of it. She was very sorry that such a statement had ever been made, and authorised him fully to withdraw it, to make the most entire apology for having made it, and to consent to a verdict for £6O. The plaintiff's counsel having agreed to this proposal, a verdict was accordingly taken, by consent, for the sum mentioned ROBERTS V. WILSON. -TI its was an action brought to recover a balance of £49.6s 6d, being the balance of a sum which the plaintiff claimed for his professional services as a scientific witness. The plaintiff was an engineer, residing in Manchester, who had been retained as witness in a patent case of Thomas Y. Judkins, for the balance of his expenses, in which at £lO lOs a day the action was brought. £lO lOs had been paid to plaintiff, and £2l had been in addition paid into court. Mr. Oa-ens appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wilde, Q.C., for the defence. It was agreed, however, that a verdict should be taken,. by consent, for £lO 10s, beyond the amount already received, and that paid into court. HUTCHISON V. FARRELL.—Tbe plaintiff in this case was A millwright and machinist, residing in Salford, and the defendant was Frederick Farrell, a joiner and builder. The plaintiff sought to recover £173 14s for work done and materials supplied by him to the defendant. Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. Owens conducted the plaintiff's case, and the defendant was represented by Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Aspland. The case for the plaintiff was that in the early part of 1858 the defendant was erecting a saw-mill and other machinery upon his premises, and in June he entered into a contract with the plaintiff, by which the latter was to put up a'boiler and engine for him, for which plaintiff was to receive £lOO, exclusive of all stone and brick work, which defendant was himself to supply. The plaintiff was also to attach the requisite steam piping for an additional sum of £3. If the boiler should not be completed by the 10th of July, the plaintiff was bound by the contract to forfeit £2 for each day subsequently, until it had been put up ,in good working order. A subsequent arrangement was made, by which the plaintiff was to put up some necessary shafting, mason work, &c.,•and some payments having been made an account of the whole work (for which taken together £320 was claimed), the 'sum in dispute was reduced to that men tioned in the opening of the case. The ground of defence was, that the work was not complete until eighty-three days after the appGinted time, and that therefore the plaintiff was to have 11.66 deducted from the amount of his claim. It was alleged, however upon the part of th e plaintiff, that the defendant had not performed his part of the contract in the preparation of the mason work necessary for the reception of the engine, and that thi s d e l aye d t h e completion of the latter. fhe main questi on th ere f ore which the jury had to consider, was whether the non com pletion of the contract on the lOtt: 1 of July by the plai n tiff, intiff, or to that of th e ,:aintiff for the amou n t was owing to the neglect of the defendant. The jury found for the p claimed—£l73, 14s. The Court then rose. O. The Herald contradicts the rumours of dissension in the Cabinet, and differences in the Conservative party..

THE NORTHERN "TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1859 MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. The Liverpool Cotton Market has been active to day, and a good business has been done, the sales reaching 9,000 bales. Prices have been firm, and the market closed steady. The Liverpool Share Market has been very active all day, and a large business has been don, as will be seen by the following transactions-Eastern Counties, 12 5-16, 121 ; Great Western, 595 •, Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 961, 95: 1 ; London and Brigh ton, 1121 ; London and North Western, 961, 965, 961, 965, 961, 96 ; One-eighth shares, 5, 13-16 d ; Midland, 1025, 1025, 1021, 1021, 1025, 1021, 102 ; North British, 605 ; North Staffordshire, 45d ; South Eastern, 215 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 85. After official hours, sales were made in Caledonians at 841, Lancashire and Yorkshires at 96, and Mid lands at 1024. The final closing quotations were as follows :-Blackburn, 114, 111 ; Chester and Birken head, 634, 641 ; Caledonian, 841, 85 ; Chester and Holyhead, 48, 481 ; Eastern Counties, 12 3-16, 121 ; East Lancashire, 921, 93 ; Do. £9 shares, 1, K p ; Great Northern, 103, 104 ; Do.

There was rather more business done in the Liver pool Corn Market to-day, and an advance of ld per cental in the price of wheat was established. The flour trade was dull, and in other articles there was no change. The London Stock Market opened with a firm tone, but subsequently became less buoyant. Consols at noon were quoted at 961 to 96Z, but at the close they stood at 96h to 96i, at which they finally left off weak. There was a large amount of business done in the London Share Market in the early part of the day, and prices were generally higher, but in the after noon there was a reaction, and the market finally closed weak, at the following quotations :—Amber gate, 61 ; Caledonian, 841, 85 ; Do. Preference, 103, 105 ; Eastern Counties, 601, 611 ; East Lancashire, 93, 94 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 73, 74 ; Great Northern, 103, 104 ; Do. A, 89, 91 ; Do.

Fours, 103, 1031 ; Great Western of Canada, 15Z-, 151 : Do. New, 51, ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 81, 9. The enquiry for Money generally diminished yesterday afternoon, and the applications at the Bank were only upon a moderate scale. The brokers were borrowers at some of the joint-stock banks early in the morning, but the majority were abundantly supplied before the conclusion of business. In several instances the balances over at the close of the day were large. It was, however, expected that the demand would revive to-day or to-morrow, as funds will be required to pay for the Silver now being purchased to remit to the East. By the mail from Bombay to- day the rate of exchange exhibits an advance equal to about 1,1 to 2 per cent., which will stimulate the transmission of silver to the East. The announcement that the government have loans open to the extent of several millions wnc not wpti the system adopted in this respect being considered unsatisfactory. The Colonial Produce Market continues without general animation, but a better inquiry has prevailed to-day for some few articles, and it has not been altogether barren of results, although the aggregate business is but small. Two floating cargoes of sugar, some moderate parcels of coffee, rice, saltpetre, and spelter, have changed hands ; and in all cases prices have been tolerably well supported. The tallow market has still an improving tendency. The weekly reviews of the state of trade in the manufacturing districts show that operations up to Thursday had been unfavourably influenced by the doubtful position of political affairs, but that since the renewed hopes of a peace arrangement a stronger manifestation in favour of recovery had been exhi bited. Connected with the home departments the transactions had been encouraging, but the appre hension visible respecting exports continued great from the rapid progress of the spring season. At Manchester business had been very flat, though the letters this morning speak more encouragingly of the future. From Wolverhampton and Leicester the accounts are not unsatisfactory. Trade at Not tingham has been rather quiet, and in Sheffield, with the exception of one or two branches, it has been comparatively dull.. In the letters from Birming ham and Halifax, it is announced that the opera tions for home purposes have not experienced any great decrease, the demand for shipment having , alone been affected. The Irish markets seem to have suffered more in proportion than others. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. PROGRAMMES OF BIRMINGHAM ANNUAL AND THE'GRAND MILITART (SUTTON COLDFIELD) STEEPLE CHASES.

The announcement of a European Congress has had a most favourable effect in financial circles. The upward movement has made further progress, the Funds closing at a fresh advance of about per cent., making a total improvement of one per cent. since Friay morning. The rise would have been more decided but for the hesitation still shewn by the Paris Bourse, where the feeling of distrust is profound. The silence of the Moniteur excites much comment. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange general buoyancy prevailed. In the Discount Market to-day there was a good demand, at 27-, to 24 per cent. for the best bills, but the applications at the Bank have slackened. There were no further withdrawals of gold from the Bank to-day. The shipments of silver to Bombay are likely to continue large, the Exchange shelving a further adverse movement of about 1-1 to 2 per cent.—Daily News City Article, Monday _Evening. The announcement of the forthcoming Congress caused the Funds to open this morning at a fresh improvement of I per cent., which would probably have been followed by an additional rise during the day but for the Paris Bourse not yet showing any very decided recovery of confidence. A slight increase in the demand for money also checked the buoyant tendency.—Times City Article, Monday Evening.

The flour trade, however, con tinues exceedingly heavy, at almost nominal prices. Beans remain without change, upon a slow demand.

Inniskilling Protectionist . . .. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF SEDUCTION On Thursday afternoon a young woman complained to Mr. Arnold, the presidinc , magistrate at the Westminster police court that her brother-in-law, a captain in the Turkish Contingent, and afterwards in the Royal Engineers, had seduced her, and had administered drugs to her to procure abortion • and also that, upon his conduct being made known, he had violently beaten and otherwise ill-used her. Having stated that she had one of the pills which her brother-in-law had given her left, Mr. Arnold directed the police to have it analysed, and issued a warrant against the alleged offender, upon which he was apprehended and brought to Westminster police court on Friday. The defendant, Capt. Godwin, apparently about 50 years of age, having been placed before the magistrate, Complainant, a girl about 17 years of age, gave her name Fanny Cusdin. On being sworn, she stated that she had been living with the defendant and his wife as com panion to the latter, at 88, Tachbrook-street, Pimlico, since last October, Defendant's wife was her sister. On Wed nesday, in consequence of what had taken place between complainant and defendant, the landlady of the house interfered, and made some communication to defend ant's wife ; and defendant having denied the truth of the assertions complainant had made, she went up to him _in the drawing-room, where he was atone, and said, " yon cannot deny that you have been my seducer ;" upon which he seized her by the hair and dragged her to Vie top of the stairs, where he kicked her twice in the back, otherwise ill-used her, and she fell down the whole flight of stairs. In reply to inquiries from the magistrate, she said that she had had a conversation with defendant last Friday even ing, in which she expressed her fears that she was in the family way, and he brought her some pills on Saturday, and gave them to her to take, unknown to her sister, telling her that, if they did not do, he would get something stronger. On Monday night she was ordered to leave the drawing room by the defendant. She had seen him touch the ser rant on the shoulder, and had told her sister of it. Mr. Smyth, from the office of Mr. de la Mare, solicitor, cross-examined the complainant at very considerable length, in the course of which she said that she had been in service, and had lived with a "gay" lady in Beaumont-street, but had left as soon as she possibly could upon discovering her mistress's character. When defendant turned her out of the drawing-room into the kitchen on Monday night, he told her he would have no mischief-making there, and swore at her and called her a liar. She did not then say she would have her revenge, and ruin both, de fendant and his wife. Told the landlady that defen had been improperly intimate with her twice. Defendant forced her to consent to his wishes about six weeks ago. Complainant slept by herself on a sofa in the front drawing-room ; defendant, his wife, and child, in the next room. They communicated by folding doors. Defendant left his own bed and came into hers at fivß in the morning. His wife called out to him, " What are you doing there ? " when he replied, that he was only looking at the clock. He forced the complainant against her will She didn't scream Mr Arnold inquired whether he was to understand by that answer that she did not scream because she did not thick of it. He was not aware that it required thought and reflection to induce persons to do so. Complainant replied, " she did as good sus scream ; but when her sister went to sleep there was no waking her." Mr. Smith, pressing the inquiry closely, elicited from her that she only called out once, and that was at the end of the time that defendant's wife inquired what he was doing there. Complainant denied in the most positive terms that any improper intimacy had taken place between her and two or three young men whose names were mentioned, and the portrait of one of whom was pro duced. She said her stepmother had not turned her out of doors for corrupting the mind of a younger sister ; but admitted that a complaint to that effect had been made. The second improper intimacy took place when defendant's wife was out. She did not tell her sister that he had been intimate with her. She told the landlady on Wednesday. Mrs. Knott, the landlady of the house, - and Mrs. Patrick, a lodger, were called. They said they heard screams on Wednesday, and found the girl lying on the stairs clinging 1 ,;:) the banisters. They did not see anything done to her. Il ls : , first witness, however, saw defendant retiring into the BOROUGH HOP MARKET.-MARCH 22 For all new hops the demand continues steady at fully the late advance in quotations.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,---As so much has appeared in the papers with reference to this subject, I think sit due to the public to state that Mr. Hope Scott's assertion that, under the Local Government Act, townships have not the power to construct their own water works, and supply The to the inhabitants, is totally incorrect. The act is perfectly clear and intelligible, and does confer those rights upon townships willing to adopt it ; but there are certain clauses from the Health of Towns Act of 1848 incorporated in the act in reference to water, and Mr. Hope Scott (no doubt under instructions) read the act without these clauses, and that at the last moment, just before the committee-room was cleared, and when both counsel and the parlia mentary agent for the township of Tranmere were out of the room. If anyone interested, or likely to become so, in the Wirrall Company will only consult their attorney before taking any steps in the matter, he will, no doubt, be advised that what I state is correct. My authority, however, as to the construction of the act, is no other than Torn Taylor, Esq., barrister at-law, of the Local Government Act Office, and he states that upwards of 50 townships in England are now adopting the act, for the purpose of supplying themselves with water, &c. The committee for the adoption of the Local Goyernment Act for Tranmere have determined to oppose the bill in the House of Lords, and they have the satisfaction of being assured, by parties most competent to judge, that their opposition will be successful.---i Ata, sir, your obedient servant, ' RICHARD LEE, Hon.
