GENERAL VESTRY. Yesterday, the annual Easter Vestry, for the purpose of passing the accounts, levying rates, and electing -- Select Vestrymen, was held at the Sessions-house, Chapel-street, the Rev. Rector Campbell presiding. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said that they had met at St. Nicholas's CYiurch, pro forma, and the meet ing had been adjourned to where they now were, and they would now commence proceedings. - The accounts, copies of which had been supplied to the ratepayers, were taken as read. Mr. Churchwarden Jones asked if any gentleman had any question to put, as he would be happy to give any informa tion in his power. THE PAROCHIAL RATE, Mr. Jones said that there was now in hand about £l,OOO of last year's parochial rate. The rate was ld in the pound, which produced about £3,800. With the sum in hand, he thought a rate of id per pound would be sufficient this year. This would reach about £1,900.. - Mr. Carne asked the churchwardens what had been done With £4OO which had been granted for the purpose of repairing St. Paul's Church. He wished to know if anything had been done---if it ever had been made use of, and if not, was it the intention of the churchwardens to expend it on St. Paul's church ? lie was quite in the dark as to what was done or what was in t mided.• He was churchwarden when the £4OO was granted, and he was really at a loss to know why it was not appro priated for the purpose which it was granted. He had been asked by Mr. Hutchison to make this inquiry . . Mr. Jones was quite surprised that Mr. Hutchison had instructed Mr. Carne to put the question he did. However, he might say, in the first place, that no such sum had been expended on St. Paul's. The church commis sioners had asked for that sum, and had been refused. It was quite true that they had £l,OOO in hand, but the churchwardens did not think it their duty to spend money simply because they had it. A meeting of the church commissioners and the churchwardens had been held, at which the subject was impartially discussed, and the majority were in favour of not spending the £4OO. He was also sure that this was the mind of the parishioners at large. _ Mr. Bairstow said, on looking over the accounts, he found that there was inserted in the voluntary receipts some £7O, received on account of Walton Cemetery. How came it that money received for private intermeuts should be put down as voluntary. Surely anything received for inter ments was not part of the voluntary rate. Mr. Jones explained. Last year the sum total received and expended was put on one side of the accounts. This year the receipts were placed to the credit of the Cemetery, and this accounted for their coming under the voluntary rate. Mr. Bairstow could not understand. The Cemetery fees had nothing whatever to do with a voluntary rate. It was quite a distinct affair, and ought to go into the poors' rate. There seemed to be £lO9 more than recevied from the volun tary rate. Mr. Jones again explained that, lee year, the whole expen diture of the Cemetery was paid out of the voluntary rate. Of course, the receipts must either be deducted from the expenditure, or else put on the credit side. Last year it was deducted from the gross, this year the gross is left as it is, and the receipts are accounted for in another place. ELECTION OP CHURCHWARDENS. Mr. Peck wished to elicit whether any alteration in the constitution of the present Select Vestry was proposed by the present churchwardens. He thought that, if any change was contemplated, it would have been proper to submit it to the ratepayers. The Chairman here interposed and said, that Mr. Peck was rather out of order. However, after some con versation, Mr. Peck resumed. It was his wish to know, what list the Churchwardens proposed to elect? and it was of great importance that they should produce that list. If not, he should find it his duty to oppose every one put forward by them. After some conversation, it was agreed to go on with the election of churchwarden. Mr. Hutchison proposed, that Mr. Jones be re-elected senior churchwarden, and was seconded by Mr. Luff. Mr. Peck had not the slightest objection personally to Mr. Jones, but he heard it rumoured, that there was an under-current at work on account of the relig,ions opinion of a late member of the vestry, bat he would maintain his opposition, so long as the churchwardens were coalesing to keep out any person ; there was one Roman Catholic—he need not mince matters—there was Mr. Whitty. He was given to understand, that the churchwardens had left out Mr. Whitt) , in their list, and solely on account of his religious principles.' Now, he (Mr. Peck) differed from Mr. Whitty in his religious principles, even more so than the churchwardens themselves, but he would not stand and see a man slighted on account of his religious feeling. He appealed to the good feelings of Mr. Jones to give him a direct answer to the question, were they prepared to propose Mr. Whitty as a select vestryman ? if so, he would not move an amendment. Mr. Jones said he was only carrying out the custom of late years. He thought that it was not the thing to dictate to the ratepayers who should be elected to the select vestry, and who should be kept out. They, at the proper time, proposed a member, and it was left to the ratepayers whether he should serve or not. As to himself, he would not serve as churchwarden, except with the unanimous con sent of the ratepayers. Mr. Peck complained that this was no answer to the question ;it was merely Jesuitry. Mr. Jones wanted to' put them off the scent of the fox they were following, but he was determined to persevere. He would not slight a man in consequence of his religious opinions, and as he could not get any answer from Mr. Jones, he would propose, as an amendment, that Mr. Cretin be appointed senior churchwarden. Mr. George Lowden seconded the amendment. Mr. Peck, in answer to a question, said he had not per sonally asked Mr. Crellin whether he would act as a church warden, but he had it from his friends that he was not un willing to act as churchwarden. Mr. Brown hoped that Mr. Peck would withdraw his amendment. He quite agreed with his views. Religion should be no bar to a man, if elected, to serve the interests of the ratepayers ; but he thought that the amendment would do no good. Mr. Peck again asked the churchwardens if they intended proposing Mr. Whitty ? If not, he felt it was his duty to perse. vere in his opposition. He did not want to have an indecorous fight between two gentlemen, but he did not lik e th e factious proceedings of the present churchwardens. Against dictation he would always act; but he did not think that it was any dictation for the churchwardens to propose a list and circulate it among the ratepayers. They, no doubt, had made a list, but they kept it secret ; no doubt for some underhand motive. Mr. Cropper denied that they had any improper motive. They had followed the precedent of former years, and Mr. Peck was quite at liberty to oppose any gentleman he liked, and also'to propose. Some conversation ensued between the Chairman, Mr. Jones, Mr. Peck, and others, the result being, on the advice of the chairman, that Mr. Peck at once proceeded to put his amendment, saying, that it was in no factious opposition that he was bent. He then proposed, as an amendment, that Mr. Crellin be elected senior churchwarden for the ensuing year, and the show of hands was in favour of the amend ment. This result was received with great applause. Mr. Cropper demanded a poll oft the part of Mr. Jones. Mr. Cropper was then proposed as junior churchwarden, but was opposed by Mr. Peck, who said he had no objection to either Mr. Jones or Mr. Cropper. lie only wished them to adopt a proper course, and not to concoct a secret list, and leave them all in the dark. He moved, as an amendment, that Mr. Bairstow be elected junior churchwarden. Mr. Bairstow said, he hoped that there would be no cause to go to the poll. If the churchwardens would at once tell them their list, there would be no opposition to their re-election. If not, he would sacrifice his time for the purpose of enforcing civil and religious liberty,, and he would consent to act as churchwarden. On being put to the vote, the show of hands was greatly in favour of Mr. Bairstow, and he was declared elected. A poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Cropper. Messrs. J. Gibbons, Livingstone, and Robert Tindle were elected sidesmen ; the Chairman remarking that the office was a sinecure —" they had nothing to do, and they did it." Mr. George Nixon and Mr. Thomas Palmer were elected churchwardens of St. John's. Mr. J. R. Jeffery and Mr. - William Roberts were, amid much laughter, elected churchwardens of St. Paul's. VOLUNTARY CHURCH RATE. Mr. J ones sa id th a t h e was happy t o say that no church rat year e wouldlbe prop ose d this year. The v o l un t ary ra t e l as t been liberally responded to, and the receipts were some £5O over former years. The churchwardens had endeavoured to deal with that money faithfully and honestly, and with the strictest economy. They had succeeded m keeping down the e xpen church rate of a penny in the He proposed a voluntary same good feeling of the Parishioners and he hoped that the toners would be exhibited this year as it was last year. ' The rate was carried. THE WALTON CEMETERY. Mr. Jones, in relation to the cemetery rate said, that last year it was a id per pound , but they ad not expended all the money collected, there being now a balance of £1,400, and he would therefore propose a rate of only id this year.. By the rate he calculated £3OO would be collected. Came said that, seeing there was such a large amount in hand, it was unnecessary to levy a rate. He would ask what they intended to spend this year. Mr. Jones said the act of parliament empowered them to levy a rate for the purchase of land, and for draining, in 4 i ; 7 1% ( '-J5-1 • ei THE NORTHERN TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL - 27 1859 LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-YESTERDAY MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. a suitable place, for the parochial burial-ground. The land had been purchased and a rate levied. The cemetery was still unfinished, and comparing last year's expenditure with this year, it would be found that it was as 116 to £455. A large outlay must be made in drainage and road-making, and ultimately, with the strictest economy. they could not finish the place under an expenditure of £2,000. Mr. Carne suggested that there would be but few inter ments in the Walton Cemetery' for some years to come, and that it was therefore unnecessary to expend much money just now. The Chairman said that he had visited the cemetery, and the ground was not fit to receive dead bodies. It was not sufficiently drained, and would require a considerable outlay. The land could be made very good for the purpose for which it was bought, but the first thing they must do was to thoroughly drain it. Mr. Jones said it was a pity that observations had been made setting the parishioners against their own property. The cemetery was quite an eligible one, and, with suitable expenditure, would be acceptable to the ratepayers. That it was growing into favour was proved from the great increase in the receipts for private interments. Several ratepayers here asked for the estimates for the completion of the cemetery, seeing that they had been called there to discuss these estimates, but as Mr. Wylie, the surveyor, was not present, the churchwardens could not give any very definite information. Mr. Jones said that, at the lowest estimate, it would take £5OO to drain the land ; the £455 expended this year was chiefly in roads and drainage ; and he was certain that less than £2,000 would not finish the cemetery. ' He thought it very likely that they would complete all the grounds, roads, drainage, &c., next year. After some conversation, the motion 'of a cemetery rate of id in the pound was carried. RATING THE DOCKS. Mr. Jones said they all knew, from the newspapers, the great efforts which had been made, by the select vestry, for the purpose of having the Liverpool Docks rated for the benefit of ' the poor. They had been unsuccessful, but the question had been raised in one of the courts of law, and it was impossible to sufficiently contest the case without a voluntary parliamentary rate. Ho proposed, then, to levy a rate of id in the pound for parliamentary and general purposes. This rate would amount to about £5OO. Mr. Owens addressed the meeting at some length, on the question of rating the docks. The Liverpool bill, which had been introduced by the Select Vestry, was rejected, but many members of the House of Commons, influential and talented men too, were in favour of the principle there enunciated. The Government Bill, for the-rating of all public property, had been set aside---caused by the dissolution of parliament. He had no doubt it would pass into law next session, and the result would be that all public property, not specially exempted by act of parliament, would pay poor rates. There was one clause in the act of parliament respecting the Liverpool docks, which it was con tended exempted them from taxation, but this was only the opinion of Lord Tenderden---many sound lawyers of late had expressed a different opinion. He thought that the question would be set at rest, and he would therefore suppoit Mr. Jones's motion, which was ultimately agreed to. PAROCHIAL RATE, Mr. Jones said, he was now about to ask for a parochial rate. He was told that he had only to submit an estimate, and they were obliged to grant it. Last year the income from this rate was £1,462, out of which there is still a balance of £1,036. But there is St. Paul's Church, which they are liable to put in such repair as the church com missioners direct, and that alone would swallow up a clear £l,OOO. The parochial rate last year was id in the pound, but he thought that id rate would be sufficient this year. This was agreed to, and Messrs. George Nixon, and Thomas Wylie were elected assessers, Mr. Jones intimated that the collection of the rates last year was done at 2 per cent. ELECTION OF SELECT VESTRYMEN. Messrs. Gayer and Peck were elected to serve for two years, Mr. Robert Topham Steele one year, Joseph Caffa rata one year, John Brown one year, and George Melly one year. All the above were proposed by Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones now rose and said, that if the meeting had had a _little patience at first they would have saved their time. It was the intention of the Churchwardens to leave Mr. Whitty in the hands of the meeting. They intended to propose him, and it was for the meeting to reject or accept him. (Cheers.) Mr. Carne seconded the motion, paying a very high compliment to the business capacities and abilities of Mr. Whitty. If the vestry lost his services they lost one of their best men. He was not of Mr. Whitty's religious opinions —indeed he was at the other end of the stick -- but he would never stand and see a man passed over solely owing to his religions views. Mr. Whittv had always done his duty faithfully; he was a man of business, able to conduct the affairs of the parish, a man of comprehensive judgment, and a man of a clear head. The Chairman said he might be permitted to speak of Mr. Whitty. Since he had been in the vestry, he had behaved in the most courteous manner to him (tho chairman) ; he was very conscientious in carrying out his particular reli gious views; but he had a right to assert those views (cheers)—and he always found Mr. Whitty free from all factious opposition.. The moifon was carried amid great applause. Mr. Peck said that he was fully answered. He now begged to withdraw his notice for the election of Mr. Crellin, as churchwarden, in the place of Mr. Jones. The opposition to Mr. Cropper was also withdrawn, and these two gentlemen were re-elected Churchwardens for the ensuing year; some rather severe remarks being pointed at them for not at once stating their intention respecting Mr. Whitty, and thus save the time of the meeting. Mr. Bairstow was appointed for two years, in the place of Mr. Scott. Mr, Wm. Whitby, glass merchant, Dale-street, was appointed for three years. Mr. Henry J. Cook was appointed for three years. Mr. Jones then proposed Mr. Thomas Henry Satchel as select vestryman for three years. Mr. King moved, as an amendment, that Mr. Chesney be elected in place of him. The amendment was carried with applause, and Mr. Jones demanded a poll on behalf of Mr. Satchel. Mr. John Knight Archer, and Mr. Edw Williams were elected for three years.- THE CHARITIES, The Chairman here stated that it was most gratifyinc , to him, and he was su re to th e ra t e p a y ers , th a t th e l a t e Mr: Braum had been kind enough to leave £l,OOO to the rectors of Liverpool, to be given in charity. Unfortunately, one of the rectors died, and the executors refased to pay the other rector, saying, that they were directed to pay it to two, not one, person. Under these circumstances, the legacy was thrown into Chancery, and the Lord Chancellor had directed the money, less the legacy duty and the law expenses, to be invested in the funds, and the interest paid over to him (Rector Campbell) for the purposes of charity. MR. SATCUELL AGAIN. Mr. Lomax hoped that Mr. Jones would withdraw his demand fora poll. It was quite right that new blood should be infused into the select vestry every year, but there should not be a wholesale turn out. Mr. Jones said that Mr. Satchell had been in the select vestry. Last year he was rejected by the ratepayers, and the majority of the select vestry did not think it would be proper to elect Mr. Satchel on a vacancy, as they seemed to think that it would be againit the wish of the ratepayers. Under these circumstances it was that Mr. Satchell was proposed that day. Mr. Lomax,' Mr. Bairstow, Mr. Hunt, and several other ratepayers appealed to Mr. Jones to abandon the thought of a poll, but all to no purpose, and this day (Wednesday) a poll will open at St. Nicholas's Church, at ten o'clock in the morning. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro ceedings, which lasted about two hours. TIIE LONDON GAZETTE. BANKRUPTS. Henry Hicks, glass cutter, Shadwell, Middlesex, Herbert Birks, grocer, Sheffield. To SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS.—A most profitable article of export, to warm climates especially, are the Self cleansing Charcoal Filters, patented by Messrs. Saunders and Co., of 16, Parker-street, Liverpool—in fact they are invaluable wherever there is btu', water. S. and Co. allow a liberal discount on export and wholesale orders. According to private telegrams from China, there has been an adverse movement in the exchanges. The export of tea showed a slight increase, but the stock at all the ports was trifling, and little more could go forward. In exports of silk there was an increase of 1,500 bales, the total to date being 63,000. An advance in price of about ten tales had checked business. Yarns and some other kinds of Manchester goods were rather lower. EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful ness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal, in a per fect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articles spoken of , and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale In Liverpool, hainsdesatallbilnish interested . can judge for themselves by TE. .

None are genuine, except bearing the signature, "E. T. Hall," BEFORE MR. PRESTON. STABBING.—A foreigner whose name in English, appeared to be Anthony Johnston, was charged by Robert Underdown, a boarding-house keeper, at H, Fleet-street, with having stabbed him. It. appeared that the prisoner lodged at the prosecutors house; and on Monday night"the prisoner mis-conducted himself, when Mr. Underdown told him to g o to bed, but he refused. An altercation then followed, when the prisoner drew a knife and swore he would cut his opponent's throat, at the same time, makin,,,o. at him to do so. The man pnt u p his hands to save himself, when he received some severe cuts on his left hand. The prisoner was sent for trial. SMUGGLING.—Terence Coghran, a coloured man, the steward of the ship James Pilkington, from Bombay, was charged with having attempted to smuggle three and a half pounds of tea, and eight pounds of coffee, contrary to the act. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the Crown, and stated that the tea and coffee had been concealed in the prisoners bed, and the Crown claimed £2 19s. 9d., treble the value of the articles. The defendant pleaded guilty, and was fined the amount and costs, which he paid. A "BLACK" BERRY.—John Berry, one of the best known thieves in Liverpool, a particular acquaintance of the detective police, was brought up by an officer, on a charge of being a "suspicious person.' About a quarter to three o'clock on Sunday morning, the prisoner and another burglar, (who was sent to jail on Monday for three months), were seen near a jewellers shop, and as the officer found a piece cut out of the jamb of the door, near the bolt of the lock, he strongly suspected that Berry and his friend were about to claim an acquaintance with the property inside ; he ran at them, and caught one, but Berry got off for the time, but was afterwards taken. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner, and contended that although he was a very " black" Berry, in character, that was no reason he should be charged now—in fact the speech went to make the prisoner purer than ice and chaster than snow— that he was a very much injured gentleman ; that the police were the greatest scoundrels (at least to his client) in existence, and that Mr. Berry should have some testimonial presented to him for his good conduct for about 48 hours before a quarter to three on Sunday morning last ! The obtusity of the worthy magis trate was so great, that the speech of the learned advocate seemed altogether lost on him, and in order that Mr. Berry might have a higher claim to the testimonial than keeping quiet for 48 hours, he directed, with much benevolence, that Mr. Jamieson, at Walton, should take care of him until three new moons shall have passed, in their circling orbs, " round about the world." CHARGE OF CAUSING TILE DEATH OF A WIFE.—John George Brattle, the man who was charged at the Coroner's court on Monday on suspicion of having caused the death of his wife, was brought up in custody, by detective officer Carlisle, on a similar charge. Mr. Campbell appeared for the prisoner. The report of the case at the Coroner's court, appeared in our paper yesterday. The evidence of Elizabeth Clarke, who was examined on Monday, in the Coroner's court, was taken yesterday again, and, as we have already published it, there is no necessity to repeat it here now. The other witnesses were also examined and cross-examined by Mr. Campbell. The latter addressed the court, and contended that the evidence was not sufficient to have the prisoner sent for trial, and his Worship being of the same opinion, ordered the man to be discharged. BREAKING A MAN'S LEG.—William Sutton, Frederick Bence (cab drivers), and Thomas Crawford, a cart driver,. were brought up, on remand, charged by officer Sampton, 804, on a charge of having assaulted John Walsh, and broken his leg. Mr. Cobb defended. The details of this case appeared some time ago. It appeared, from the evi dence of the officer and two respectable witnesses (engravers), named George Gilbert and John Barr, that on the night of the sth instant, the witnesses and Walsh were going home ; at the corner of Chatham and Chesnut-streets they were about to separate, and stopped a short time to speak with each other. A person, who has not since been arrested, came up and used some abusive language, when they told him to go away. The man then blew a whistle, when immediately some dozen of cab drivers (as the witnesses stated) rushed on them, and attacked them in a furious manner. Walsh was knocked down, and nearly killed ; his leg was broken by kicks, and his head much injured. He was kicked all over the body. The witnesses identified the prisoners as the ringleaders of the party, and said they kicked and beat Walsh. Walsh was carried to the court. He seemed to have suffered very much. He was examined, but he could not tell who injured him, as he was at once rendered insensible. Surgeon Walker, from the infirmany, stated the injuries on Walsh. In reply to Mr. Cobb, he said a fall could not have broken the leg, nor inflict the other injuries. Mr. Cobb cross-examined the several witnesses, but did not shake their evidence. He made a forcible address, and contended that there was a doubt about it, and that thei benefit should be given to the prisoners. His Worship said it was one of the most brutal cases he had ever heard of, and as the prisoners had been positively sworn to, he would send them for trial, Mr. Cobb : Will you take bail ? Mr. Preston : Ido not know, as the case is such a very bad one. The prisoners were then committed to the sesions. THE ROBBERY OF BACON.—William Woods, James Woods, Robert Woods (brothers), and George Woods (their father) were brought up by Inspector Thompson and Detec tive-officer Laycock, on a charge of having broken into the store of Mrs. A. Smith, provision dealer, 36, Mill-lane, Hunter-street, and stealing bacon and hams, to the value of £5 10s. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoners, who lived at 24, Clayton-street, and who stood- remanded from Wednesday. On the night of the 19th, Mrs. Smith's place was broken into, and the bacon stolen. Next morning, the officers found the bacon in the house of the prisoners. They made various statements about how they got the bacon. Mrs. Smith was examined, and proved that the bacon and hams were her property. The case was so clear that his Worship sent the first-named three prisoners for trial, but discharged the father. THE ADVENTURES OF M'CULLOCH'S GOLD WATCH James Birch, a native of Rochdale, late a police-officer, No. 15, was brought up by officer Leahy, No. 265, on two charges - first, for having stolen a gold watch and chain. from Jane M'Culloch, wife of John M'Culloch, a shop keeper, at 366, Great Howard-street; second, for having embezzled sums of money belonging to the corporation, by collecting fines from captains of ships, who had been fined under the dock laws. Mr. Cobb defended. The case was rather curious. Officer Leahy said, about three o'clock yesterday morning I arrested the prisoner iu Glasgow, on a charge of having stolen a. gold watch and chain from Mrs. M'Culloch, and also on another charge of having embezzled certain sums of money belonging to the corporation. M r . Cobb : Did you tell him the arges ? Yes. Mr. Cobb : Did he tell you his name ? Yes, because I knew it, and knew him very well in the police here. Did he say he had the watch ? Yes, and that he had borroweed it from Mrs. M'Culloch. Did he give it up to you ? Yes. Mr. Clough : Did the prisoner belong to the same section of the police in Liverpool that you did ? Yes. Did you know that he had given notice to leave ? Yes. And do you know that on the day the notice expired, he left, taking the watch and chain, and receiving the money, that he is charged for embezzling, with him ? Mr. Cobb objected to this, and said, the person who had lost the watch and chain should be called, and the embezzle ment proved in another way, than by this second-hand evidence, which Mr. .Clough was so handy in getting. Mrs. Jane M'Culloch was then called. She is a person possessing a beautiful face, with deep dark lustrous eyes, and glossy black hair, which formed a splendid contrast to her deep rosy cheeks and cherry ripe looking lips, that curled up and down in such manner as Canova would have got into a trance, had he seen them for a model. Her fine Grecian brow, and nose that never had anything like it in this world—curiously enough—were set off by a virgin white bonnet; trimmed with artificial ferns, that beat the real ferns into smash, her magnificent black silk velvet mantle, and green tabinet dress, set her off as she really is—a beautiful specimen of a Circassian " Goddess." She was really the observed of all observers, as she entered the witness box and took off her bilberry . coloured glove ; on being sworn, she said, my name is Jane M'Culloch ; I am .the wife of John M'Culloch, of 366, Great Howard-street, we keep a shop there. I remember having spoken to the prisoner some time ago, about some person who had cheated m e. about rubbing tone ;he used to be on duty in the street. I remember he came to me on the morning of the 18th instant, and he asked to look at my watch. I had it in a drawer, and took it out. I held the chain in my hand. He took both away, but I had no notion that he was going to steal them. He put them in his pocket and went away. He said he would bring them back on Thursday. I did not say whether he should have them or no. I did not know then that he was leaving the police. Mr. Cobb : I think, Mrs. M'Culloch, we had better not proceed in this case of yours further. If we do, it will probably be very gratifying to the public, but possibly somethinc , more than dis agreeable to you and your friends; that is, if I come to cross-examine you. [The lady pulled down her veil, and turned her back to the advocate and the prisoner, but made no remark.] Mr: Clough said the lady came to him a few days ago, and told her story, and he brought her before his Worship, and she told and swore to a different story to that she does now, and from that the police had no alternative but to arrest him on the charge. He, however, thought now that there was no case against the prisoner, so far as the watch was concerned. Mr. Cobb : She has got the watch and chain. I have no inclination to cross examine her, but if I did I won't say more just now, except that she has ruined my unfortunate client. The prisoner was then discharged from the "watch case," but it was proved that he got 5s under false pretences from the mate of the schooner Betsey, for a fine inflicted on t ie captain for not having a tide watch on board, anti he WA committed for trial on that charge, LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. The Cotton Market remains in a very quiet and dull state. To-day the sales were only 3,000 bales, all to the trade and prices are rather irregular. At Manchester to-day there was also a dull business. The extensive demand for India goods last week checks any decline in that description of goods, but German Yarns favour the buyer. The Liverpool Share Market was much firmer to-day, and, with more business doing, business left off at an improvement. There has been a fair business done in our Produce Market to day. The demand for Sugar is pretty good, and the public sales of Coffee have passed off well. The transactions in Rice continue on a rather extensive sale, some 20,000 bags having been disposed of to-day at full prices. The Market for the Public Funds and Securities opened this morning at a further fall of per cent., but a rally of per cent. suddenly occurred, which, however, was followed by a relapse. Later in the afternoon, another sudden rise in Consols took place, in consequence of a rumour of more favourable news from Vienna. The improvement from the lowest point of the day is nearly one per cent. Consols closed at 931 to 931, for both Money and the Accouht. The New Threes, at 922. to 921. Exchange Bills, at 32 to 36 premium, and Bank Stock at 222 to 224. The London Railway Share Market advanced in sympathy with Consols, and showed a good tendency towards the close. Lombardo-Venetian improved. Foreign stocks were quite nominal. Bank, Miscel laneous, and Mining Shares dull. The following are the closing prices :—Caledonians, 771 • Eastern Counties, 551; East Lancashire, 88, 90 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 70, 72 ; Great Northern, 99, 100 ; A, 82, 84 ; Great Westerns, 55, 551 ; Great Western of Canada,ls, 151; Grand Trunk of Canada, 74, 81 ; Great Southern and Western, 102, 104 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 901, 901 ; London and North-Western, 911, 911 ; London and South-Western, 891, 90 ; Leeds Northern, 421 431 ' • Manchester, She ffi eld, and Lin colnshire, 361, 371; Midland Stock, 981, 981 f North British, 53, 54 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 851, 86,1; York and North Midland, 72, 73. The Traffic Receipts of the Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada, for the week ending April 2nd, were 10,5911., against 9,5141. corresponding week last year sliming an increase of 1,0771. " We have experienced a great change in:the weather the last ten days ; from a fine commencement of spring, there has been snow and sleet for some days, hot sun on others, and cutting frosts at night, and since Saturday it has been unkindly wet, cold, and stormy. All vegetation must have suffered much, such as young Beans and Barley, the pasture fields and the early blossoming fruits. This unlooked for change, coupled with the demonstration for war among the Continental Great Powers," says the cir cular of Mr. Robert Proctor, "could not fail to re store and impart a more vigorous tone to our so long depressed Corn trade. A good speculative business has been passing in the leading articles during the week at advancing prices ; and at our Corn Exchange this morning we had a pretty full attendance of buyers, and a good business was done in Wheat, of the general runs, to neighbouring millers, and in French Flour. The advance from Tuesday last was general, and may be quoted at 6d to 8d on Wheat, and 2d each on Oats and Barley per 1001bs. Flour was is to is 6d per barrel, and 2s per sack, Oatmeal is to is 6d per load; Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were each is per quarter higher." At the various country markets there has been a good buiiness doing, and Wheat is quoted 3s to 4s per quarter dearer. Other articles have also advanced in pro portion. The Glasgow Iron Trade has been very firm to-day, at 51s to Ms 3d per ton for Warrants. The Returns of the Irish Banks of Issue for the four weeks ending the 9th of April, exhibit an increase in the circulation, as compared with the preceding return, of £28,438. In the coin held, there is an increase from £2,351,363 to £2,363,186. Last month, there was an increase in the issues of £35,814, so that, for the past two months, the circulation has been all but stationary, and from the analogy of former years, we may expect that the succeeding return will show but a very slight variation. Thenceforward until the approach of harvest there will be a steady diminution. The Irish banks are now £608,701 above the sum authorised by certificate; but, taking into account the coin held, the amount is £1,754,485 below that allowed by law. The Linen Trade of the North of Ireland, though not active, is moderately busy, and p r i ces o f b o th white and brown are well maintained. There has of late been rather an improved demand for flax-seed from the farmers. The inquiry for flax has been decidedly active at very firm prices. The Wool Trade in Scotland continues in a quiescent state. Spinners are not anxious to buy, and holders having little to sell, are not pushing it into the market. The Wools which are wanted maintain their prices. The rumours of war are unsettling everything, and even actual hostilities would be preferable, in some respects, to the present uncertainty. The present stock will not be much, if any, cheaper till the clip, but how Wools will range then it is impossible to say. Nearly all good black faced laid and white have been cleared off, and what little is left is held for high figures. Laid Cheviots are also well bought up, and as it will be three months before the new clip of laid Wools is available, it would not be surprising if these classes rose in value. White Worsted Wools , still continue quiet. The Calcutta Exchange is apparently rather more favourable for this country. In China little altera tion has occurred. The Calcutta and China mails will be distributed in London to-morrow morning. As we anticipated, the shipments of specie by the Bombay steamer, the Orissa, of the 27th i ns t an t, exhibit a marked decline, compared with previous remittances. The total is only £288,070, of which £lO,OOO is in sovereigns, and the rest silver. The remittance on government account is £142,000. The previous Bombay packet took an aggregate of £791,923. The Silver Market is flat, at 611 d to 61;d per ounce standard. The steamer Ripon, with the mail for Bombay, sent from Southampton on the 12th inst., arrived at Malta on Friday, and left on the same day for Alexandria. There was a meeting of the Great Southern of India Railway Company to-day, at which a report was presented, stating that 500,0001. was now found sufficient to construct and provide the railway stock for the first section of the railway, and that 120,0001. had been paid into the Indian Treasury. A staff of engineers had been sent to India for the purpose of making the necessary surveys of the line, and the directors from the report of these officers, had since resolved to make the first section of the line themselves, by which considerable saving would be effected for the company. The report was adopted. FOREIGN EXCHANGES. Amsterdam Short Ditto, 3 months . ll ... 161 11 ... 16i Rotterdam I 1 .. Isi Antwerp Brussels 25 12 25 ... 20 25 ... 12 . . 25 .. 20 HaTburgh.....

Madrid The excitement in the Stock Exchange to-day has been rarely paralleled. The various markets, in fact, have been almost panic-stricken, owing to the general belief that a declaration of war by Austria against Sardinia is only a question of hours. The great pressure of sales has been to close speculative transactions for higher prices, and as the public have not yet come forward as buyers, a very serious effect has been produced upon prices. Foreign securities have suffered the most severely of all, as a fall of 10 per cent. from last Thursday's prices in Turkish Stocks, 7 per cent. in Sardinian, 2 to 3 pounds in French Railway Shares, and £2 in Lombardo-Venetian, _proves; but English Stocks have likewise been thrown down to the extent of 2 or 3 per cent. in most instances. At the close of the Stock Exchange the quotations were It per cent. below those of Thursday afternnen, making a clear fall of 1 per cent. since this morning. After the close of the establishment, how ever, a sudden rebound of 4 per cent. took place, a hopeful construction being put . upon a state ment that the Emperor Napoleon has . deferred until to-morrow his promised commtl.mcgm to LONDON PRODUCE MARKET.---APRIL 26.

The transactions in all new hops continue only moderate, owing to the holidays prices, however, are supported. In other hops very little is doing.

The amount of gold with drawn from the Bank to-day for exportation was £lOO,OOO, making a total of £300,000 since the date of the last return. The Calcutta exchange is apparently rather more favour able for this country. In China little alteration has occurred. The shipments of specie by the Bombay steamer of the 27th will not amount to £300,000. —Daily News City Article, Monday evening. The war panic in the Stock . Exchange made additional progress, and a further fall has been witnessed of about I per cent. After the close of official business, there was a partial recovery caused by the postponed message of the Emperor Napoleon to the Legislative Chamber. The effect of political news is aggravated by the drain of gold , from the Bank, which it is thought will certainly lead to the rate of dis count beinc , advanced to 3 per cent. either on Thursday next. or ThUrsday week. A portion of the late demand for gold is believed to have risen from the preparations for war. —Times City Artirle, Monday Evening. TRADE IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. MANCHESTER.—The market has relapsed into the dulness of Tuesday last, but the extensive business done on East India account, during the last few subsequent days of the week, partially checks the downward course of prices which began to manifest itself generally on that day.
