Mr. Sampson Was present when he soil the last lot of , goodS which were invoiced to him 'for £423, and which ;he sold for £250 to the defendant Levy. On the 18th ;of' August he bought goods of Pletcher & Co. for .4112. 17s 741 ; add on the 23rd of August he bought • :some other goods from Turner, Norris, & Co., the invoice ishowing the price to be 4252 13s 4d. .He bought of Bntterworth & Brooks, on the same day, 157 prints at, 4155.8 s lid ; and , on the same date he purchased from Taylor & Hampson, calico printers, goods to the amount of £l5B Bs, On the 28th of 'August he sold portions of the goods just alluded to, to Simeon Sampson, for £293 Is. It consisted of 250 prints, at 16s a piece, total £2OO, which bp had got from Turner, Norris, & Co., and several other lots, which he disposed of at prices. con siderably less than the invoice of the original purchase. Orie lot, which was invoiced at £293 Is, he sold for £7O. In another instance he got in cash .6350 for goods which were invoiced to him at £721 Bs. On the • 26th of August he bought of Potter & Norris a quantity of black gros, which was invoiced to Mtn at 4114 145.; and on the' 29th he sold the goods to Sampson for £B5 10s. It was originally put down £B6 10s. ;- but it was refused on the ground that it was an overcharge,'" (Laughter.) He : only got in cash £5O for this transaction. On the 27th of August he bought. of John Davis & Co, 174 pieces of prints at £B7; and 50 Other pieces' at £52 18s. About six of these pieces were returned to them. On August 30th. he bought of Patter, Norris, & Co. prints amounting to £lB4 les. 9d. One lot• Was invoiced to the defendants, on the 29th of August; at £284 is., the cost price of which was £335 13s. Id. He only. received, however, from the defen dants, £l5O, instead of £284. Witness then went on to detailvarious other transactions - with the defendants of a similar character. During all this time he was selling other goods in the regular way, to. the extent of about £3OO. Between the Ist of July and 18th of August, .when he was conducting the buSiness for his uncle, he had regularly the same sort of transactions as he had just detailed with Simeon Sampson. ,On the 18th of August he bought the business from his uncle 'for £2OO down and four promissory notes of £lOO each. The business ceased on the 22nd of September, when he :failed; and the stock then remaining was only worth between £6O and £7O. No delivery receipts were given to him by the defendants on those transactions. Cross-examined by. Mr. Overend—His uncle was a man of good credit in Manchester. He was not engaged at any particular salary when he was in his uncle's ser vice. His uncle at Stockport advised him to take his uncle James M'Clure's business in Manchester. He had only one transaction with Simeon Sampson at the time the business helonged to his uncle. He got mar ried in May last, and furnished a house ; the furniture cost £6OO, and he had onlypaidabont £l5O. His Uncle was not aware of the transaction with Sampson to which he had alluded ; and with the money he thus obtained, £150, , he . Paid the £2OO down to . his Uncle for the'busi nese. In fact, he, paid his uncle for the business with his uncle's own money._ When he took the business, he neither • kept a•cart or horse; but he retained in his service the traveller and the porter :who had been engaged previously brhis"unele.' When he bought the business helium he could not carry it on, and he bought, lt, simply to screen himself from the position he had got into by buying, those goods and selling them at. ruinous Prices, and putting the money in his own pocket. He had not yet got his certificate from the Bankruptcy Court.. nr,Overend—You will have no difficulty, of course. (Laughter.) Cross-examination continued—He repeated that thein voices to Sampson were all fabricated documents - - -he never received the full amount mentioned in the invoices. The figures in several of the invoices were altered, but he could not explaiir the reason why. He had no cash book, day-book, or ledger, in which he had entered any of these transactions. He was now' living in lodgingA at.AshtOn-on-Mersey, and he had been separated from Lis' wife since the period of his bankruptcy. His wife's mother remitted him sums for his support at present. Sampson had asked him to buy some silks for him at least on one occasion. (A letter was here put in, written by witness to Sampson, offering to sell h►m a quantity Of silk ." for about £300.") Although he sold the silk for upwards of £3OO, he only received on that trans 7 action the sum of £l5O. When he wrote the note he expected he.might get £3OO cash down. When he took his uncle's business, the stock would be worth about £lOO but there were book debts which he also took over in consideration of paying £BOO .for the business. He had no difficulty in getting credit in Manchester for a 4tibrtAime, and he bad credit up tO a day or two before his bankruptcy, ReAxamined by Mr. Wilde.—The goods he took over from his uncle must hare' . bcen paid for. He always offered the goods to Sampson at a, higliiStim, but Samp son always heat down the price, and gave only about half he -first 'asked for. The goods were mostly deli iered to Sampson, between one and two 'o'clock in the afternoon:---the dinner hour, when very few people were about the streets. - • • James 4. Efarding, an accountant, was . called to prove some calculations which he had made between the in voiced cost of the goods and the invoiced sum received crottrthrdtsfendanta. The sum stated on the invoices - F.6 he defendants showed an average reduction of upwards of 20 per cent. below the cost price ; in some instances T. . . the •tedtictiOn - - - yras 34 per cent. ' James ' , Ellyn, of Manchester, gave evidence of the market value ,of the deicription of goods a old by the bankrupt to the defendant Sampson, which was consi derably above the .sum which' had actually been paid. limilarevidenee was given by-Mr. Grundy, Mr.l-11en, Mr. 11.*tedford, and Mr. Janies'Taylor. This concluded the .plaiutiffe case. . . Mr. Overend then addressed the Inry on behalf of the defendants. He said he approached this case with no tommon anxiety, for he felt there was confided to his Care not a mere point of money, hut a question of character; for there could be no doubt that this case involved the issue whether his clients, had not been guilty of one of the greatest frauds he ever heard of in Commercial life., He could not conceal from himself that, in some quarters, gentlemen of the peculiar per suasion of the defendants were looked upon with what he must call an irrational distrust. They. were gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion ; but, notwithstanding that, he was sure the jury would believe that. gentlemen of that persuasion were quite as capable. of honourable conduct as others. Ifs cthe learned connseiy appeared for persons who, up to this time, had borne the highest Character for respectability and integrity, who had carried on a thriving business ; and if the verdict of the jury was against them that day, it would not•only ruin them in their prospects, hut blight their Moral character. They were now invited to act upon the unsupported testimony of man who appeared before them to denounce the defendants—to state that they had been guilty of fraud of the grossest charact , :r, and of being, with him, participators in the frauds of; which he was confessedly guilty himself. His story was not confirmed in .any way ;. and yet, upon that; manes glistipported testimony, the jury were asked to take away the good names of the defendants, and to blight their prospects for ever; Not Only had this young man been•gitilty of com mitting a fraud upon .his creditors, but - actually, as to the man he was bound to by the ties of relationship; he, proved by his own ~ confession' that he had been guilty of the crime 'of embezzlement, and that he had, stolen his uncle's property. WheP ~a men came into the box and made. an unblushing statement like that, he could not be entitled to much credit. No doubt this man had been guilty of fraud ; but if the defendants were not cognisant of that fraud they Would'he entitled to the verdict. The; Veal-fled counsel proceeded to argue, from the facts in the'case, that the defendants could not possibly have been. cognisant of the frauds perpetrated by M'Clut 6"; and that Whim . bad now 'every 'reason to follow tip his frauds by `lies, so that he might retain the money, which, properly, should hare gone to his creditors. Ile promised to call the defendants—Samuel Levy, Elias Levy, and Simeon Sampson,—who would flatly contradict, the' statements made by M'Clure, the bankrupt. Samuel Levy was then called. He denied that introduced SimeOn Sampson to 'M'Clure and eon dieted 4-, generally the .evidence of M'Clure. was said about anything less than the invoice prices being paid to M'Clure on any occasion when he was p present. M'Clure was never paid any' less sum thae the amount named in the invoices,: , The case was not concluded when the court rose. A countryman having caught a hare, launched into praises of her toothsomeness, declaring that she was good roasted, good boiled , good in a pi e, good . any way,. Here, by a sudden effort, she escaped. " Hoot, hang her!" cried he "let her gann ; she's only dry meat." Nigger Swell : Waitah ! Parley Waiter : Yessir. Swell : Got any green peas ? Wiriter : Yessir.

CHARGE OF MANsLAGHTRR.—WiIIiam Doming (23) was, indicted for the manslaughter of Henry Parr, a collier. Mr. Laresche was for the prosecution, and Mr. Simon for the defence. •It appeared that the prisoner was the engine-driver at the Little Delf Colliery, 'and the deceased, wirs.a boy employed in the colliArY the roads. It 'appeared that on the lath of February last, some of the miners had to come up to the'pit's mouth ; that Thomas Atherton, a collier, rting• the bell twice for the cage, Which' was about. a yard from the bottom of the shaft,'ohe lowered • that it was loWered accordingly, but,that it was immediately raised again, and .the deceased being only partially in =it urns severely crushed. He_died from the injuries received, six days a fterwardq.—The*defence was that the,prisoner tbougt there were three knOcks, which meant that the cage was to be raised, and it was proved that since this accident the hell had'been removed from the pit's month to the engine-room, about eighteen yards distant, so that there would be` less chance of a repetitiOn of an occurrence so unfortunate as this.--41is lordship said it was plain there had been 'a mistake, and it was f 0..• the jury to say whether the prisoner ought to be - convicted in order to convict him, the jury must be satisfied that the prisoner had been guilty of culpable negligence, and that the accident was caused by the absence of ordinary care oil his part in the discharge of his d u ti es .--Th e jury :returned a verdict of "Not Guilty," and the prisoner was immediately discharged: BIGAMY ,AT LIVERPOOL.--ThO Inas Cooper (43) was indicted for having, at Liverpool, on the 18th of August, 18.53, feloniously married Mary Bnrland, his wife Jane Cooper, whom he had married in 1836, being then alive.—M r.

Mr. Fitzadam • proscuted, and Mr. Scott was for the defence. It was elicited in evidence that the prosecutor, a farmer, attended the market at Wigan on the day in question; and after having finished his business went to a public house, where he had much liquor, and during ,the evening • the prisoners were there. The prosecutor very foolishly displayed his money, and it was contended that the prisoners had an ample . opportunity of seeing the money. About ten o'clock Tickle left the public housa4,, and whilst walking up the street a man ran against him , struck him on the aide d the head, knocked him to the . ground, and then covered up his. mouth, whilst a second man tore open his :breeches, and attempted to rob him, but they suddenly decamped with-. out having effected their purpose.—A Wigan police-akar stated that he had. watched the prisoners and the .prose cutor on the ground, but as he was at a distance he thought, it was an ordinary street scuffle, and did not interfere at the time. As he approached them, the pri soners got off the ground and walked away rapidly.— Gnilty.—pitchford had been four times punished for acts of violence at various times, and was now sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment; and Lowe to twelve months' imprisonment; both with hard labour. STABBING AT Bourorg.—lieury Steele (24) was indicted for having, at Bolton, on the Bth of March last, feloniously stabbed one Francis Culican, with intent to do t k iffi: g iievous bodily harm.

Mr. HopwoOd prosecuted and Mr: Torr defended the prisoner. The prisoner had, quarrelled with the prose cutor, who was the means of procuring his discharge from the employment in which he was engag ed; and meeting the prosecutor in the street assaulted him so severely that for some time he was unable to attend to his work.

In return she gave, them 4d and some coals; but they went to the house some time afterwards, it was alleged, and carried off several 'articles, which they had no authority from her to take away. For the defence a witness' was called; who distinctly stated that he . heard Mrs. ;Lee tell the prisoners to take the articles in ques'-,- tionL-all of which were of very small value—for their allowance.

In this case the plaintiffs are the assignees of James M'Clure, jun., a bankrupt; and the defendants are Messrs. Ellas Levy 'and Co , job and fent. dealers,'High street, Manchester. -Mr., Wilde, Q.C., and Mr. Wheeler were for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Overend, Q.C., and Mr. Milward for the defendants. ,The action Was brought to recover possession of a large quantity of goods, which M'Clure .it was alleged, had disposed of to the defend ants under-fraudulent circumstances. Mr. Overend said the case had already excited considerable discussion and feeling in Manchester; and therefore, on behalf of the defendants, he had to ask that -no gentlemen from that city might be sworn on the jury. But his lordship said unless it were shown to him that any of the jurymen possessed some personal interest in the issue, he should most certainly refuse such an application. The jitry were then sworn. i Mr. Wilde, Q.C., then opened the case to the jury. Ile said the action - : ivas brought by the assignees of a bankrupt named M'Clure with a view to . the recovery from the defendants of a large quantity of goods which, it was contended, were disposed of by the' bankrupt tinder such circumstances of, fraud on his part in obtain ing the goods from the creditors, and of connivance on the part of the defendanta as would entitle the plaintiffs to set aside those sales and obtain repossession 'of the goods so .improperly obtained. Although the amount involved was not very large, the assignees of M'Clure's estate felt . it. their dilty to be at all needful trouble, and to incur all neoesssary expense to bring this ease to an issue in a court of jiistice ; 'in order, if possible, to Suppress a system of dealing and a mode of transacting business which, should it be persevered in, must inevi tably be destructive of credit . and business in Man chester and other towns: • Now, in the present case; a serious charge was involved, but he' believed that it ivoiild be amply borne out, by the evidence that he ibmild produce before them. It appeared that, Mr:. l a mes . M'Clnre, junior, began the business on which the questions now before the jury arose on the Bth of August, 1859, and the period during which e carried on that business extended only to the 23rd of September following '---a period' of about six weeks. M'Clure, jun., was the nephew of a gentleman of that hame•who had previously carried on the business, but the elder McClure had not attended personally to his affairs since the Ist of Jilly. 1859. In the interval be-' tween the Ist of July and the 18th of August, the business was managed by the bankrupt on behalf of his uncle, and. although that hnsiness ' up to the Ist of July, averaged a very small amoun t of motley, yet, from that time up to the 18th -of August goods to the extent of Many thousands of pounds were obtained on credit, and disposed of in the following way ;---Between the 18th of August and the 26th of September, the business of M'Clure to his regular customers amounted to £279.; but the present defendants and some other gentlemen, whose names the jury would presently hear, together disposed of no less than £2,654 worth of goods in those few weeks, the defendants being what were known in Manchester as "job and fent dealers." • On the 18th of August. M'Clure, .jun., became the .proprietor of the business, ,nnd at_ ogee proceeded to enlarge his sphere of action, arid it turned out when he stopped 011 the %Prd bf 'September that he had sold £333 worth of goods to his regular customers; but, to the defendants and to the other 'gentleinen to whom he had just referred, and who carried on a similar business to the defendantS, he had disposed of goads to'the amount of .f 2,933. The jury were not to suppose that the bankrupt got this sum of money. £2,933 was the amount at which the goods were invoiced, but the actual sum McClure received' was only about £1,200. . The modus operandi in disposing 9 f the goads would appear to have, been thus : that. the defen dants came to the bankrupt's warehouse„.would make an offer of a lump sum . for the whole lot of goods, and M'Clure 'Would make out an invoice 'to the defendants at a figure reasonably below the real value, hut that invoice did not'represent the actual amount paid by the defendants, the sum ,of money paid .heing much below that represented :on the face of the invoice. The whole mode of transacting the business, said the - learned counsel, was such as to leave no doubt that the defen tants wereiin a state of complicity with M'Clure, jun., nd that they perfectly understood what they were doing he goods disposed of to the defendants were generally Of a , standard value, and in the Manchester market were saleable at all times at, say, about 5 per cent. below the invoice price. but they were actually sacrificed to them , at a loss ranging from 20 up to 50 per cent. below the invoke price; they were invoiced to the defendants at a considerable loss, but the money actually paid was very much even below that considerable loss. , Thellearned cbunsel, at great - length, quoted instances, in, which he said he should prove that the defendants had been in complicity with M'Clure, jun., and had been making away with the goods obtained from his cre,ditors in a fraudulent mann.er... Thelearned cannel then proceeded to call witnesses .inrsupport of his - case. James li‘Clure, the bankrupt, stated that he acted in uncle's-businesspia in the- early part of last year, and he ceased to take an active part in the business towards the latter end;of June. After that time he managed on his own behalf; and he first saw Simeon Sampson about the middle of Aneust. Samuel Levy intro duced him, and said he (Sampson) would buy gook in the same way as he did=—cash. In about ten days afterwards he saw Sampson, sold goods to. him, and continued to do so 4p to the time be stopped payment on the 22nd •September. The other defendant, Levy, did not interfere personally with the business, and all his; transactions were with• Sampson. He had eight or nine transactions with him, und he always paid cash. He obtained the goods on credit, and sold them to the defendant for ready money, making out the invoices in Sampson's office. He did not make out the invoice for the money which was actually given to him. Sampson told him what he was to write down, and he made out the invoices aceordinglY. He said he had. bought goods of John,Allen ; and they. Were part of the goods sold to levy, The goods from Taylor, CORRESPONDENCE. . .

QUARTERLY REVENUE ACCOUNT. (17 The revenue account for the quarter ending on Saturday shows a total' increase of about £5,000,000, as compared with the' corresponding quarter of last year. Out of this, sum -about £130,000 is derived from malt spirits and paper; about £3,500,000 are' yielded by theincoine-tax, owing to the.increased rate ; and there are small increases under the heads of stamps, post-office, and 'miscellaneous items. There is a decrease of about .£366,000 on customs, arising from the operation of the commercial treaty with France. The year's account exhibits ;an increase of £340,000 on customs. This would have been 'even larger but for the special cause of decrease referred to above. The increase is ,derived from rum, tea; tobacco, and currants. On excise there' is an , increase of nearly £2,400,000 proceeding from almost every item— 'malt, . spirits, piper, and hops showing the largest' increase. On the year the- increase in income tax will be nearly three millions. Stamp tax and post-office also yield an increase. The total account' for the year gives an increase of about five and a-half millions. The only item experiencing a decrease is that en titled miscellaneous; which last year included a large .sum. for the sale of old surplus stores after the Crimean war.

After paintini over the parts of a piece of stretched muslin through .which he wishes the valour to pass, he renders the rest of the tissue impervious by a solution of gelatine thiekened with zinc-white. By arranging a separate piece' of muslin for each culotte' or tone, he obtains an effect like successive printings from lithographic plates; and the pictures so produced can be touched up and finished with a brush.

It is stated that legal proceedings have already been taken against theproctor. Early rising is one of the most essential qualities which enter.into good household management, as it is not only the parent of health, but of innumerable other advantages. Indeed, when a mistress is an' karly riser, it is almost. certain that her house will be . orderly and well-managed. On the contrary, if she rennin in , bed till a late hour, then the_domestics, who invariably par-. take somewhat. of their mistress' character, will surely lroome sluggards. To self-indulgence all are ' - tniire or less disposed ; and it is not to be expeeted that servants arefreer from this fault than the heads of houses. The great. Lord Chatham thus gaVe his advice in 'reference to this subject :—" I wouldhave inscribed on the cur tains of your bed, and the walls of your chamber, klf you do not rise early, you can make progress *in nothing.'

She had, hovieVer, been discarded, and became gradually reduced to the most abject state.—M r .
