THE .SPRING ASSIZES. CROWN COURT.—SATURDAY: BEFORE MR. JUSTICE WILLES His Lordship took his seat at nine o'clock this morning, and proceeded with civil business. MONK Y. UPTON.—The plaintiff-in this case was a sub contractor, under Mr. M'Cormick, who was a contractor for d o i ng a portion of the work of the Mersey Dock and Har loar Board. The defendant was also a contractor, and the acti3n was brought to recover the price of a horse, alleged to have been killed by the carelessness of one of the ser vants of the defendant. Mr. Brett opened the ease for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall was retained for the defendant. Prom the evidence it appeared that in carrying out the works in the formation of the Birkenhead Docks, a bridge has been erected across the Wallasey pool. On this bridge a double line of rails are laid, on which waggons are drawn with tones and such other materials as are necessary to carry *a the works. On the 19th of January last, both plaintiff and defendant's horses were at work, when the plaintiff's ariser was told by his pointsman to wait till the points were ready. He did wait, and then started his horses, when the points were ready for him. The defendant's driver was behind, and he drove on with his horse at a trot. The points were shifted by the defendant's pointsman, and the driver of plaintiff's horses, seeing that there was danger, unhooked his horses from the waggons, and let the waggons go on. The defen riaat's horses and waggon came up on the instant, and truck plaintiff's horses and knocked them both over the bridge, by which one of them was killed, and the other was seriously injured. It was contended for the defence that the defendant's horse was as far forward as that of the plaintiff's, and that the plaintiff's man lingered for a length of time on the bridge, which he had no right to do, and during which time the points were turned. The ques tilos which his Lordship asked the jury to consider was, whether there had been a want of proper care ou the part of the .defendant's servant, or whether the blame was to be attached to the laxity of action by the man who' was driving the horses of the plaintiff. The jury found a serdict for the defendant_ ASSAULT.—KENNEDY v, CHAPHAN.—This was an action Io recover damages for an assault and dismissal without notice, from the defendant's service. The plaintiff had been a merchant's clerk, and from April, 18,52, he had been in the service of Mr. Chapman, Lloyd's agent at Liverpool, at a salary agreed to" be £l2O per annum. The plaintiff was also to receive five per cent. upon certain profits made by the defendant. On the Bth of February, of this year, the plaintiff gave notice of his intention to quit the defendant's serviee. 'On the 10th February Mr. Chapman **lied upon him, to give an explanation of his account, and when he could not give the explanation required, Mr. enapman drove him out of the office, which was the assault aornplained of. It was contended, for the defence, that no assault had been _committed, and that the defendant had only told the plaintiff to go out of the office on the day in etuestion. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. • -.7 , NISI PRIUS COURT. —SATURDAY. BEFORE MR. JUSTICE DYLES. His Lordship took his seat at nine o'clock, and pro seeded With the special jury causes. IWNEE AND OTHERS V. NIMMo AND OT HERS . —This was pi action to recover damages for the alleged infringement of a patent. Mr. Monk, Q.C., Mr. Ovens, and Mr. Hind marsh, appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Wilde, Q.C., Mr. Manesty, Q.O , and Mr. Fookes for the defence. The principal plaintiff, Mr. M'Nee, was : a manufacturer and • rcha n t , living in Glasgow ; and the other plaintiffs, who - likewise carried on business in that city, were interested in a patent which he had taken out, laid which . formed the subject of the present action. The- action was an issue brought under the direction of the Court of Chancery, for the purpose _of substantially ascer taining whether the defendants had infringed the patent taken out by Mr: Al`Nee. In 1852 the plaintiff took out hie patent, which was a loom for the cheap and speedy woduction of a fabric extensively used in the East, and known by the name of zebra cloth. The article thus pro sneed by the plaintiffs had, for, a time, a very large sale in the markets of Turkey and other parts of the East ; but more recently the sale somewhat declined, and it was dis covered that the defendants had introduced into sale a species of fabric which the plaintiffs averred to be a colourable imitation of their zebra cloth, and, consequently, an infringement of their patent. On the part of the defence it was contended that theie were differences between the Ssbric manufactured by the defendants and that which the Viaintiffs had produced, of so substantial a nature as to seeder the former .quite a distinct fabric. It was urged that, in the first instance, the plaintiffs' cloth was plain or twitted, whereas the defendants' was figured ; then that the back of plaintiffs' cloth was "flushed" or "back- Sashed" in a certain loose manner, to resemble the original aebta cloth, by extra threads which were no part of the sLrie; and in the third part, that the cloth of the defen slts might be printed upon both sides, and had, in fact, two distinct faces. The jury found for the defendants. Ifis Lordship gave leave to move. MACDONALD AND ANOTHER V. LONGBOTTOM.—The Tkaintiffs in this case were Messrs. Alexander MacDonald aerdor, and Alexander MacDonald junior, farmers, of Irreernessshire, in Scotland; and the defendant was Mr. David Longbottom, a wool merchant, of Liverpool. The action was brought to recover damages for the defendant's tion-acceptance of a quantity of wool. Mr. Monk, Q.C., meted the case for the plaintiffs, from which it appeared, Vaat, in Sept., 1857, they had a quantity of wool in different lutes, in regard to which there were some negotiations going in between them and the defendant, which resulted in a asentract for the sale- of the defendant. The contract was contained in letters which passed between the plaintiff and a Mr. Stewart, the agent of the defendant. The first letter which was read was one from Mr. Stewart, which contained See following passage, dated the sth of September 1857: "I beg to state that I have heard from him (the defendant) ao day, and he now desires me to offer you for your wool 16s stone delivered in Liverpool, less two months' ills mint." In reply, the junior plaintiff wrote to defendant's agent, on the Bth of September, a letter, which etratained the words—" I agree to your offer for the wool • 16s per stone, less two months discount at the rate of Eve per cent for ready money," and requesting Mr. Ste Wart to send him the necessary bags to pack the wool. A reply was 'received from Mr. Stewart acknowledging the letter, acid undertaking to forward the bags. The quantity of zoo? was 2,542 stone 81bs. It was shipped early in No - • 'ember, and arrived in Liverpool on the27th of that month. in the meantime the commercial crisis which commenced its Liverpool, with the failure of the Borough Bank, Brad taken place, and it would appear . that the aerendant changed his mind regardino• the wool. On the 7th of N ovem b er , a l e tt er was written by Mr. Stewart se Mr. MacDonald, jun., stating. that Mr. Longbottom declined accepting the wool, in consequence of the delay which had taken place in its delivery. A letter was also xtetived by plaintiffs two days after claiming, on behalf of Zefenclant £llO for loss caused to :him in the plaintiffs not having delivered the wool in time to him, as he had sold it at a icofit of one half-penny a pound, which he had forfeited by its deny. When the wool reached Liverpool, it was tendered to the tleik.adant, who refused to accept it. The wool was finally ,lit i for £1,161 17s Bd, by the plaintiffs, who now claimed VD recover the amount of the difference between that sum save) the contract price, being £825 las 2d. The defence, which was conducted by Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Brett, was, that there was an unnecessary delay in the delivery of :Ise wool. .Mr. James also contended that there was no evidence of the acceptance of the contract. The defence had ee.-17 opened, when the Court rose. FRIDAY. HALSTEAD ROBERTS.-.-- This was an action brought by Wm. Halstead, a cotton spinner of Buruley, and the defend sesta .were the proprietors of a similar factory, the works ling separated from each othe r by a s t ream , an d th e ac ti on 3rir , brought to assert the right of the plaintiff to a flow of lunier from that stream, which he alleged that he had en , jeved down to August last, at which time the course was efiverted by the defendant. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., Mr. lianesty, Q.C., and Mr. Kaye appeared for the plaintiffs, mai Mr. Wilde, Q.C., Mr. Monk, Q.C., sand Mr. Cleasby few defence. After the case had been opened, a consul tation took place between counsel on either' side, and it ItEst w .agreed that a juror should be withdrawn. • 41MY AND AN OTHER v. A r ILNE.-- -The plaintiffs • k arad Tmere t n b li ' lle a y s n signees of Thomas Moore, On inn r ee pe relof Blackpo o l, and the action 3oftit to r -recover the value of a steam-engine, who tojitf, pumps, cern and hay cutters, and other articles, witieh the defendant, had purchased the premises occu pea' 3by the bankrupt claimed as fixtures Part of the re alises had been mortgag e d u i - • - p th aBs3, and the mortgagee made a sale of them, under r e prs contained in the deed on the 20th of August, 1858 p being bankruptcy. The defendlaiilig. a month previous sate the- freehold premises, which . e subject of the were defendant at that onwtgage, and under ,that purchase he he e nned to be en *tied to the goods in question, which &tares attached to the freehold. It was agree alled to be that a v erdict should be entered for the plaintiff, the defendant aa sT ing leave to move. BA IN E 9 AND ANOTHER V. WO ODPALL —Th iS w as an Sion brought by Messrs. James Baines and C o ., to recover am. amount of a policy of insurance effected upon the 31501tS Baines ship. Mr. James, Q.C., opened the case for the piaintiff4, from which it appeared that they effected an ilawance in July, 1857, upon that vessel, with the de des dants Messrs. Woodfall and Willis. Messrs. Baines having ( hirtered the vessel to the Government for th e Impose of conveying troops to India, they entered into the policy in question—which was a time_ policy, not a wine policy—on the 30th of July, 1857, the po li cy being !tom that date to the 30th of Jnly, 1858, both inclusive. Ithe vessel sailed upon her voyage, took troops out to Olia, and returned to this country upon the 12th of April, 1858. The vessel having retnrned thus early, the plaintiffs 1 proposed to cancel the policy, and accordingly, upon the 15th" of April, they wrote to the defendants a letter as follows : " Dear sir,—The_ James Baines having arrived here, we will thank you to render us a credit note for unex pired time, say from the 12th inst., to the date of the ex piration of the policy." The policy was handed over to the defendants for the purpose of carrying that proposal, if they should accede to it, into effect. No reply, however, was received up to the 22nd April, and on that day, the vessel being still in dock, took fire and was burnt.On that . I day—end it was admitted that after the plaintiff had heard that the vessel was on fire—they :addressed to the defendants the following note : "Not havpig received any reply to the note of the 15th, requesting a credit note for unexpired time, we hereby withdraw our said note, and the request therein contained." A proposal - of a similar kind had been made by the plaintiff to tho defendants, in regard to another vessel, the David Mclver, and, on the 22nd of April, two credit notes were se n t b ac k to the plaintiffs; one for the David Mclver, and th e o th er for the James Baines, with the following no t e : "I n rep l y to your note, received this mornin g , we beg to say that, i n accordance with your request of the 15th instant, we have cancelled the p o li cy f or t h e James Baines, in the usual course, and we canno t th ere f ore recognise any withdrawal upon your part." Some further correspondence took place; but the issue was that, the defendants decli ne d t o recogn i se - the demand for the withdrawal of the plaintiff's original request, and under these circumstances the action was brought to recover the amount of the policy. The only witness examined was Mr. Greaves, the managing clerk of the plaintiffs, who deposed to the facts as mentioned. Mr. Wilde, Q.C., who conducted the defence, addressed the jury on the part of the underwriters, contending that the proposal of the plaintiff's to cancel the policy had been accepted ; that the necessary steps had been taken to carry it into effect ; that the defendants had for that purpose applied for and received the policies, and that under these circumstances the request was irrevocable, and that the plaintiffs had no right to hark back when they found that the vessel was on fire, and endeavoured to restore their former position with regard to the policy. Mr. Perrin, clerk to the defendants, was ex amined to show, that the request to cancel the policy had been accepted by them, and that the necessary steps were taken to carry it into effect. The witness also deposed that it was the regular custom in such cases only to retnrn the premium, calculated upon unbroken months. Mr. James argued upon this evidence, that if the premium was to be calculated upon the whole of the month, the risk must cover the whole of the month also. Mr. Wilde, on the other hand, maintained that the policy was clearly cancelled on the day when the proposal was accepted, but that the return of the premium was to be calculated for the month. Mr. James urged that the proposal of the plaintiffs was for the cancel ' latibn of the policy upon certain terms, referring to a certain day, and that, unless these terms were agreed upon and accepted, it was not a cancellation according to the proposal made. His Lordship finally directed a verdict for the defence, with leave to move. LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-SATURDAY, BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. DISHONEST WORKMEN. —Two respectable looking tradesmen, named George Connell and Thomas Wharton, who were in the employment of Mr. Caruthers, ironmonger, &cc., Scotland-road, were charged for having Stolen a quantity of goods, consisting of tea-pots, coffee-pots, brushes, and the like. Mr. Bluck appeared for Wharton, and Mr. Cobb for Connell. The evidence went to show that, the prosecutor had missed a variety of property, such as mentioned, and enquiry was set on foot, as the prisoners were the persons suspected. The place of Wharton was searched, and a por tion of the property was found there. In Connell's house, there was also a portion of the property found. Both advocates said that after such evidence as that given they could not overcome it. The prosecutor wished for a remand, as there was other property missing, and he wished to have further search made. The prisoners were remanded to Tuesday. SHOP LIFTING. —A young woman, named Ellen Mitchell, was charged with having stolen a piece of printed calico, value 15s, from the shop of Mr. Duncan, draper, Dale street. It appeared.that on Friday a police officer found the prisoner sitting on some steps in a street, off Dale street. She was drunk at the time, and had the print in her possession. On being asked where she got it. She stated that she purchased it, but it subseqently tran spired that she had stolen it from Mr. Duncan's door. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said she was drunk, and did not know what she was doing. She was sent for trial at the sessions. BEFORE MESSRS. HITTOILISO'N AND CASTELLAINR TRESPASS ON A RAILWAY. —Mr. J. Jump, jun., was summoned by Henry mime, station-master at Sand hills, on two charges, one for wilfully trespassing on the railway, and the other for having assaulted the station master. Mr. Wybergh read the first information, and asked Mr. Jump if he were guilty ? lie replied he was guilty of crossing the railway, but not of wilfully trespassing on it. Mr. Wybergh said that would not do, as the terms of the act were ;,‘ wilfully trespassing," and if he pleaded g nilty it must be in accordance with the terms of the act. Mr. Jump said he did not care then, he would plead guilty in that sense, althongh he did not do it wilfully. A fine of lOs was then imposed. He was then charged with having assanited the station master: The case lasted a long time; the facts, however, were short and simple, and wera these. Mr. Jump went across the railway, contrary to rules ; he was prevented by the station master, who insisted on gettine , name. Mr. Jump was crossing into and ° was on his own ground, where the complainant followed him, when an altercation took place, and Hulme said he was knocked down by Mr. Jump. It transpired that Mr. Jump had given, his ticket to one of the guards, and that he was really on his own ground, when the complainant followed him, and one of Mr. Jump's men swore that the station master laid his hand on defendant's shoulder, when Mr. Jump shoved him, and he fell. The Magistrates thought the trespass was proved, by Mr. Jump' s admission, and he was already fined for that. The assault complained of they did, not think at all proved. Mr. Jump was on his own ground, and the defendant had no right to follow him there, after the servant of the company had taken his ticket, and therefore they dismissed the case. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-FRIDA.Y, BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER PERRY. Re PHILIP CRELLIN. —This bankrupt, sailmaker, of Sparling-street, Liverpool, applied to pass his last exami tion.

THE NORTHERN TIMES , MONDAY, APRIL 4 18_59 IS ENGLAND RESPONSIBLE FOR- AMERICAN ; 3 . SLAVERY? TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. sir,--" Young Africa " commits three errors ; he at tempts to settle a matter of fact by Scriptural (Flota tions ; he does not attempt to meet my statements ; he mistakes me for an apologist of American slavery. Theo logical arguments never settle secular questions. Slavery has been attacked and defended a thousand times with these weapons, but ever with the most unsatisfactory results. Ido not defend slavery: it is opposed to human' progress,. and, therefore, I earnestly condemn it. But I. also condemn those by whom it is kept up ; and, therefore, I must speak in terms of disapproval of my countrymen. If I employ my land in producing the Upas poison,. instead of working that land for the supply of my daily wants—if I then go and buy my food from a man whom I know is in the constant habit of stealing it—am I not a partaker of his guilt—am I not so far responsible for his crime as well as my own ?—ls not the receiver, after judged, more guilty than the thief ? India could supply us with all the cotton we re quire, but we prefer devoting its fruitful soil to the production of a poison (opium) which is plunging millions of the people of that and other countries into bondage, more horrible and debasing than the hated slavery of Cuba or the United States. In consequence of this iniquitous prostitution of the soil, sve are dependent on the Americans for our supply of cotton, every additional bale of which requires the labour of an additional slave ! Our manufacturers say to the slave-owner, "We must have cotton, or else our artizans starve." The cotton-planter says to the slave-dealer, "We must have more slaves to supply the demand for cotton." The slave-trader sends away his ships to the Coast of Africa for more victims and to prevent his succeed ing in his damnable calling, we send out our ships of war, spend millions of pounds, and sacrifice hundreds of lives. Can anything exceed the folly of all this, except its wickedness ? We are, I reiterate, greatly responsible for Ame rican slavery, and for iniquity exceeding that involved by slavery, so long as we keep up the opium traffic, and continue that despicably dishonest policy in India, of which the opium traffic is only a part.—Yours, &c., AN ENGLISHMAN. TO JOHN COBB, ESQ., ATTORNEY-AT-LAW. Sir,—Having seen a letter bearing your signature in the public papers, w h ere i n y ou disclaim being the defendant in a certain action pending in the Court of Passage, I gather, from your proper anxiety to established the respectability of your character, that you are an individual of tenacious and sensitive feel.: mg. I also plead guilty to the same amiable weak ness, if it be one ; and, as in a late investigation before Mr. Mansfield, you gratuitously promulgated reraarks affecting the Parthenon Concert Hall, of which I am the proprietor (and have been f or th e last twelve years), utterly at variance with truth, and not only calculated to injure, but which have already materially affected my business, I now publicly call upon you to retract the expressions you made use of, having up to this moment failed to elicit by personal application the fulfihrient of several faith ful promises you made to me, that you would address a letter of explanation to my attorney, Mr. Thornley. First/y. I complain that you have stated, as the Mercury reports, that wax figures, representing naked females, are exhibited at the Parthenon Concert I have no waxfigures.whatever, nor any represen tation, equivocal or unequivocal, of naked females. The entertainments at my establishment consist of music, singing, dancing, and tableaux vivants, the latter Leing precisely the • same •(and represented in frequent cases by the same artists), as those who, appeared in London before the first clasSes of society of both sexes. They merely represent scenes from history. The gas is lowered for about two minutes at a time,_ while the stage revolves, but . the stage itself is then refulgent with light. In every drama performed at theatres, in every pa.ndrama, diorama, or dissolving views, the same partial lowering of the gas takes place. . - Secondly - . I complain that, you asserted the pro secutor in the case alluded to had been robbed in the. Parthenon Concert-hall. The trial of the men took place yesterday before the Deputy Recorder, and the prosecutor himself stated on oath that he was not robbed in the Parthenon, but at another house, which he named, though I, with more regard for the feelings of others, than you have evinced towards me—will not publish it. Suffice it to say, no robbery was ever committed in my establishment, which has been frequented by persons of higher standing in society, than I much fear either you or I can attain to. If, after this public appeal to your impartiality, you still refuse to ratify your promises, I have no other alternative than ti) consult my attorney, as I am seriously prejudiced by your unjust remarks.—l am, sir, vours, &c., JOHN GEORGE STOLL. Parthenon Concert-hall, Great Charlotte-street, Liverpool, 2nd of April, 1859. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL,, Saturday Evening. The Liverpool Cotton Market has been rather quiet to-day, and only a small amount of business has been done, the sales amounting to 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which have been taken for speculation and for ex port. Prices remain without change. The Liverpool Share Market has been remarkably quiet to-day, not more than half-a-dozen transactions having been reforted. Prices were heavy. The sales were as follows : Lancashire and Yorkshire, 94 , ; 5 ,-, 941, 944 ;* London and North Western, 94%; Midland, 1014, 101%; Grand Trunk - of Canada, 7 per cent.,1857, 66%; Great Western of Canada, 164. The tone of the London Stock Market to-day, has been steady, and notwithstanding a sale of 50,0001. worth of - Consols, prices were well supported. At one time of the day there was a little heaviness, but it was only momentary. Consols opened at 94% to 954, and continued steady at that point until nearly the close, when they declined to 95%, at which they finally left off. . The London market for railway shares opened with considerable animation without change, until nearly 1 the close, when the heavier stocks were more freely offered, and quotations, in consequence, receded a little. The final closing prices were :- Ambergate Nottingham, and Eastern Junction, 54, 64-, 64 •, Caledonians, 821 ; -Eastern Counties, 591-, 60 ; East Lancashire, 92, 93; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 721, 73 ; Great Northern, 1024 ; Ditto A, 86, , 87 ; Great Westerns, 58%, 584 ; Great Western of Canada, 16% ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 8% 9 ; Great Southern and Western, 105, 106 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire ; 944 94%; London andNorth-Western, 94; 5 ; ; London and South-Western, 924, 921 ; Leeds Northern, 46%, 471 ; Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire, 384 ; Midland Stock, 1014, 102%; North British,, 581, 58%; South Eastern and Dover, 701, 701 ; York, Newcas tle, and Berwick, 92%, 92%; Lombard Venetian, 1% f 14 ; ditto, new, 4, 1. The steamer Ceylon` will convey to the East on Monday no less than' £956,773 in specie, of which £857,820 is silver for Calcutta, including £390,000 on account of the government. For China the silver re mittances amount to only £22,340. The demand for money yesterday:was active at the Bank minimum, and the applications at 'that esta blishment were large. To-day is the last day for the payment of 1,000,0001. on the East Indian Railway debentures. The amount of the mercantile engage ments maturing on the 4th, is likewise large. The dividends will be payable at the Bank of Eng land on Friday next, the Bth instant. The 76,2851 in gold, by the Teviot, has been pur chased for the Continent, and it is believed that the bulk, if not the whole, of the 146,0001 by the Copen hagen and Water Nymph will likewise be, sent away. The steamer Tyne, from Brazil, is expected at Southampton 'early next week, with 16,2591 in specie. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been of an important character, the imports having been extensive, amounting ;to about 1,059,692/, comprising 36,1541 by the Jura, 114,1971 by the Europa, and 54,0001 by the Bremen, from the United States ; 13,0001 by the Orissa, and 76,2851. by the Teviot, from Alexandria ; 58,2401. by the Water Nymph, 87,816 by the Copenhagen, from Australia ; 20,0001. in gold from Russia ; and about 600,0001. in Silver from the Continent. The exports have also been on a very extensive scale, and comprise 7,1201. to the West:lndies, by the Mag dalena ; 936,7731. chiefly in silver, to the East Indies and China, by the Ceylon ; and shipments to the Continent through the London Custom House estimated at 70,3001. - making a total of 1,034,193. Messrs Grant and Hodgson give the following re port of the London Tobacco market for the past month :- There was no apparent change in the market during last month, but a continuance of the same apathy and disinclin ation to purchase, except on a limited scale, that has existed for a considerable period. Sales were 500 hhds., consisting of 219 hhds. Kentucky Strips, 00 hhds. of Leaf, 109 Virginia Leaf, 40 hhds. and tierces of Virginia Strips, and 37 hhds. of Maryland. These constitute the •extent of sales furnished by importers ; but it has been reported, that 200 hhds. of Strips, part of the purchase made in January last, have been resold, but we have not been able to obtain , reliable information. Buyers, in a great measure, have confined themselves to good and fine qualities ; and choice descriptions of, Western Strips have constituted a consider able portion of the month's sales, at extreme quotations, although middling and ordinary were obtainable at rather easier rates. Thre was a slightly improved demand for exportation, the principal sales consisted of very low Iqualities of Virginia and Kentucky, at 3%d. to 4d. Latest advices from New Orleans represent no change ; but from Richmond, a slight advance has been established, and prices firm. The following, respecting the silk trade, is from the monthly circular of Messrs Waithman and Co :- There has been a fair business transacted in silk during the past month, and although the home trade are still the principal operators, the demand for export has certainly shown some improvement. The deliveries for the month are 7,226 bales, about 2,200 in excess of the same month last year. The China letters recently delivered report settlements for the month 4,500 bales, making the total to dates 60,000 bales, of which about 50,000 bales had been shipped. Uniold stocks on the market 2,500 bales, chiefly inferior descriptions. Prices had advanced somewhat. The closing quotation of No. 3 Tsatlee being 350 taels, equal to 19s- 3d per lb. here. Exchange at Shanghai 6s 2d. Bengal silk continues very unsaleable. In Italian silk there is no alteration. The Paris Presse alleges that the new " General Society of Commercial and Industrial Credit" will conduct the negotiation of a considerable amount of the coming Russian loan. The sum of £49,000 was on Thursday paid by the Madras Irrigation Company into the Indian 'Trea sury, making with £133,721 pieviously deposited, a total of £183,121 received as payments in full in advance of calls. The whole of this amount has been subscribed within one month, and added to the £47,000 received as deposits, makes the sum of £230,121 standing in the Treasury to the credit of this company. The new Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Debentnres of the East Indian Railway Company were quoted this afternoon 11 to 12 prem. It is understood that the Stock Exchange Committee will, on Monday next, consider the appointment of a settling day in these 'securities. At the meeting of the Western of France Railway Company, held at Paris on the 29th March, the' dividend was fixed at 15f. 50c. per share, which, added to the payment of 171. 50c. made on the Ist October last, as " interest," makes a total distribution of 34f. for the year 1858, against 37-If. in 1857, 40f. in 1856, and 501, in 1855-the year of the great fusion. The continuous decrease in the company's profits is partly attributed to the heavy charges for loans. The meeting of the Orleans Railway Company was held on the 30th March at Paris. A dividend of 571. per share was declared. The Caledonian Railway traffic returns shows this week an increase of 1741. An extraordinary meeting of the Caledonian Rail way Company is called for the 13th April, at Glasgow, to approve a bill for making branch lines to the Wilsontown Mineral Field. The Funds were flat at the commencement of business to-day • but in the absence of any di s t ur bi ng f ore i gn news, the market closed steadily at an advance of 4 per cent. The division in the House of Commons, and the consequent uncertainty with regard to the Cabinet, seemed to exercise no influence. The applications for discount at the Bank to-day were numerous. In the Foreign Exchange this afternoon the rates were generally about the same as last post. The shipments of silver for India and China, on the 4th, will amount to nearly one million pounds, of which about £400,000 is on accouncof the government. The colonial produce market, although influenced by the existing political uncertainties, have exhibited rather more steadiness during the latter part of the week. The aggregate traffic returns of railways in the United Kingdom, for the week ending March 26th, exceeded by £19,482 the amount for the same week last year.-Times City Article, Friday Evening. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-APRIL 2. There has been a moderate demand for cotton to-day, and with liberal supplies prices are unchanged, The sales— including 80 Pernambuco, 8,-td ; and 150 Surat, 54d to 51- i d —are reported 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 ai e on speculation and for export. LONDON PRODUCE MARKET.—APRIL 2. A firm tone prevails in all the leading markets and most of the primary articles meet a steady inquiry, actuated evidently by actual requirements. With one or two excep tions only, speculation remains a dead letter, nor is it likely to be otherwise until both home and foreign politics asssume s more settled aspect. SeTeral transactions are reported in SECOND EDITION. N ORTIIERN TIMES OFFICE, MONDAY, 9 A.M. MINISTERIAL CRISIS. The Daily News says, it seems to be generally understood that Lord Derby has for the last two days been engaged in an attempt to strengthen his administration, with a view to his resumption of power. The names of Mr. Gladstone and the Duke of Newcastle have been freely mentioned in con nection with the negotiations presumed to be going on. The grand reason to be given by Ministers for ignoring defeat in the. House of Commons and retaining office, is the complicated state of our Foreign relations, and the danger of disturbing . the efforts of 'diplomacy by a change in its guiding spirit. The Daily News remarks that the first question to be asked will be, is there or is there not to be any real and substantial measure of Reform to be laid forth with upon the table ? As to the retention in office of Lord Malmesbury being made the pretence for setting at nought the verdict of the House of Commons, it is an impertinence not to be. endured. Lord Derby has, by his tender of resig nation, admitted that his confidence acconnt with the House of Commons was closed 'upon the 31st of March ; if he seeks to re-open it on the 4th of April, he must be ready to offer unexceptionable bills to be placed to his credit. The Times announces that the ministry will neither resign nor dissolve, but simply retain their offices. There is no occasion to characterise conduct whica ministers have themselves commented upon with so much unction. We apprehend that the excuse for their remaining in office will will be threatening state of foreign affairs. The only terms on which their ministerial existence can be protected are, that they should prepare a reform bill on principles to be gathered from the resolution of the House of Com:dons and the speeches of its principal supporters. The Herald predicts that the manner in which the crisis is to be met will, when announced, give general satisfaction. The Post says it is now decided the ministry will retain. Lord Derby intends to appeal to the country as soon as the state of public businese will allow him. A dissolution of parliament may, therefore, be expected in about six weeks timc. The Post says the country will fully understand that Lord Derby's object is simply that of burking the question of reform for another year. The Advertiser asserts that although the Derby Cabinet will remain in office as a body, Lord Stanley has sent in his resignation, and General Peel is anxious to retire. The Post contradicts the statement of Lord Lansdowne having been consulted by her Majesty. • The Stur says the Cabinet have kept their secret so well that it is impossible to do more than surmise, but it is its opiniim that there ara only two courses open to the Govern ment on constitutional principles, either a resignation or a dissolution. The third course cannot be supposed pos sible, after the recent declaration of the Government. There are no signs of ministers going out, and therefore the conclusion is that a dissolution must be . their alternative; but, as in 1852, it may be a postponed dissol ,tion, put aside until the House has disposed of some of the most necessary business now before it. The . Star highly approves of a dissolution, as calculated in the end to Esin a more efficient Reform. The Chancellor of the xchequer has issued a notice to the supporters of the Government in the House of Commons, requesting them to be early in their places this (Monday) evening, to hear his statement on the present aspect of affairs. Lord John Russell was engaged during several hours on Saturday in making investigations in the library of the British Museum. The death of General Frederick White, one of the oldest generals in the service is announced. FRIDAY'S GAZETTE. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED.—R. B. Walker and T.

LOVE AND WITCHCRAFT. - The Durham Chronicle gives some curious proofs of the fact that we have not yet seen the last of the days of belief. in witchcraft. A number of letters have been seized in the house 'of Mrs. Leadpiper, a notorious " witch," and from these ext rac t s are given. One woman had lost a pony, and she seems to have a confident belief that-Mrs. Leadpiper can furniSh her with the names of the thieves. " Please (she says) to give me diserepsbins of them who took it and send me thire names as so that I may no my enemys and that I may 'catch them dowing sum think els. I hope you will make them suffer that that' will not do the like to neither me nor no parson else, and if you send me word hack that I may now the parsons I shall come over on purpus to pay you 'some more mony the first opportunity."—Another letter is from Isabella Barrow, and has.reference to some young man whose affections the fair Isabella is desirous to secure by means of the potent charms of Mrs. Leadpiper. Isabella, it appears; " ware doun on saturday," at some place where she had believed she would see the young man, but seems to have been disappointed, and she earnestly implores the fortune-teller to " dow what she proinised 'me and I will not forget you as soone as i see himin." the next letter is from "Elizabeth Pearson," of " Hougall Colry," who writes to say that she has seen " Mr. W.—." She then refers to some other " partey," probably a rival, whom she desires Mrs. Leadpiper to " be so kind as to tirment." As to " she does not seem to think he is quite so ardent as he should be, for she thus writes to Mrs. Leadpiper —" I think my Self that he is very carlas and I should like you to ster him up if you please." She concludes by promising to pay Mrs. Lead piper for her " truble." As the next letter is a novelty, we give it entire : " July 21, 1858 Well dear Elizabeth i take the opertunity of Writing a line or two to you hoping it to find yon in Good health as i am in the Preasend time But Elizabeth i hard that you and your Lover had Faun out i think if you are Willing i Will fall into hes Place if you are Willing i Will collie on sunday First the 25 Day i Come if you are Willing lo Right Back and to tell if you are Wil ling and Right soon as you can For if you Right Back to me i Will meet you acoming to your house on Sunday the 25 day So if I am welcome Right as soon as you can and if lam Not Welcome send a line or tow sill So no more at Preseand From your intenet Dire° you Letter to Benjamin Clark to the Care of Wm Clark Old Grange Row Carville Near Durham." the sugar market, but the particulars have not transpired, but full terms are said to have been paid: Coffee eontinues exceedingly firin, and for small parcels to supply immediate orders extreme prices are paid.

COMMERCIAL, Considering that this is Saturday, the demand for money in commercial channels was unusually active, partly in preparation for the 4th of the month. The terms generally current are equal to those of the Bank. The withdrawals of gold from the Bank to-day for exportation represented the large sum of £112,000. The Funds were steady during the greater part of the day, but towards the close .some heaviness was observable, partly owing to the ministerial crisis. At St. Petersburg the exchange on London has relapsed to 36f.—Daily News City Article, Saturday Evening. The English Funds opened steadily this morning, and remained without alteration until the afternoon, when there was a reaction ofd per cent., principally attributable to the accounts from France of the urgent continuance of offensive preparations; such preparations can have no purport; duplicity is being practiced. The Associated Powers being now in a position to protect the interests of justice on all sides, there can be no necessity for extroardinary individual efforts by any one of them. In the Discount Market, in preparation for the 4th, there was an active demand at the Bank minimum. The precise - amount of specie to be despatched to the East, by the mail steamer on the 4th, is £956,773, of which £16,921 is in gold, and the remainder in silver.— Times City Article, Saturday Evening.
