'On the 12th instant he wrote a letter in Liverpool, in which he enclosed the half of a £1 bank of 'reload note, an Irish tenpenny token, a shilling of the reign c/f George 111, and five postage stamps. It was addressed, " Mr. Monld, at Mrs. Mur ray's, 0, Lord-street, Birkenhead, near Chester," and was given to Mr. Mould, assistant to Mr. Ramsey, who took it to Chester for the purpose of having it ;checked in the Birkenhead bag, and despatebed by night wail on Monday. At Chester, the witness Motld, at half-past four o'clock, gave the letter to the postmaster, Mr. Owen, who stamped it, marked it with the date of Tuesday, and at :nine o'clock it was placed along with some bundles of ;letters to be despatched to Birkenhead at a quarter past three o'clock in the morning. The letter, which should have been delivered between nine and ten O'clock on Tuesday morn ing, •not having arrived, Mr. Ramsey obtained a auagis trat's warrant to search the prisoner's house. He then proceeded to the Birkenhead postoffiee, where he saw the prisoner, and told him of the fact of the letter not haring reached its destination. The latter replied, that it was a practice in the office, when letters were discovered to OM.. tain money, to put them in a book, i n or d er th a t th e i r addresses might be entered by the letter carriers, and that the letter which was; the subject of inquiry would be found in the proper letter-earrier's box. The prisoner added that, when sorting the letters in the morning, he had found the one which was inquired for, and had put it into the book for the purpose of being entered, The letter was accord ingly found by a witness in the book, with the seal broken, in a box belonging to a letter-carrier named Williams. The prisoner was then given into custody, and on his house being searched by Inspector Birnie, there were found two £5 notes, three receipts for registered letters, and a pawn-ticket relating to some silver spoons, some rings, and a gold pencil-case, all of which had been pledged. with Mr. Barlow. After the examination of several wit nesses, the magistrate, considering the importance of the charge, and its being one of great suspicion, said he should commit him for trial, accepting bail of two sureties of £lOO, and himself in £2OO.

The de fendant denied his liability-. Witnesses were called in support of the plaintiff's case. The case for the defendant was, that the defendant had sold the vessel to a Mr. Gom pertz, and that these goods were supplied, and the work done, whilst Mr. Gompertz was in possession.of the ship, Captain Thompson having been appointed by him. It was also urged that, even if Captain Thompson was the servant of the defendant, what he ordered was without the authority of the defendant, and therefore the defendant would not be liable for it. Mr. Bramwell tendered a bill of exceptions to this ruling. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, for the amount claimed. Two other cases of the same nature as the preceding, and against the same defendant, were then heard and decided in a eimilar manner. THE LONDON GAZETTE. =UMW.

MA NCH ESTER.—There has heen a alight recovery from the extreme depression that has pervaded this market for so lengthened a period ; and though the improvement has not led to any large transactions, there is clearly a better feeling, and less hesitation in giving out orders. A moderately steady business is sufficient to take off the whole production of the various mills, now that short time has become so universal ; and buyers, finding that there are no great stocks to work upon, appear to feel more confidence. Under these circum stances, prices are firm for all descriptions of goods and yarns, whilst for some sorts rather more money is asked and obtained. In yarns the inquiry for India descriptions con tinues. Yarns for home use are also in good demand; and for 30's to 40's cops higher rates are asked, but the improve. ment is confined to those ranges. In goods the improvement, as regards demand, has been general. In light India cloths, especially, the inquiry continues, and for jacconetts better prices are obtained ; light printers are also more looked after, whilst a renewed but still moderate inquiry for the home trade contributes to improve the appearance of matters. Domestics and T cloths in better demand, at full rates. LEEDS.—The cloth markets, although usually dull so near the approach of Christmas, have been quite as brisk as usual at this season, and a fair average amount of business has been done by the commission houses ; there are also some rather extensive orders in progress, for delivery early in the new year. Prices remain steady, and the mills continue in pretty full employment. A fair quantity of goods have been sold in the warehouses, the period of the season considered. BRADFORD.—WOOI; Rather more wool has come to town this week, and prices area little higher. The prices demanded in the country have tended to stiffen the current rates here, which were previously too Nigh to induce the spinners to buy freely; and stocks in then bands being unusually light s encourages the staplers to hold firm for the prices now sought. Noils and brakes command better prices, and are not made, except in limited , quantity.—Yarns : The difficulties of the spinners have been on the increase for some time past. The current price for yarns has ranged so far below the cost, as to bring shoot an extensive stoppage of frames and short time working, WhiCh has been adopted for some months past, and with no hopeet alteration, unless some very decided im provement in the value of yarns can toe realised commen surate with theecst. The recent advance on wool has been entlrely at'the test of the spinners. The advance sought in yarns is notviXingly conceded, nor is it probable that it will be for ;1). few 'weeks, till old contracts are worked out.— pieces -: There is nothing very active in this department, although the opinion that goods have seen Choir lowest is gainingifavenr, and there is a greater willingness to give out ord-rs. lithe exceedingly small stocks of 'finished goods in the mertbints' hands augur favourably for ar active spring trade. Ale only apparent difficulty 'is, 'what is most likely to be in'favour ; this uncertainty has tended , to retard produc tion, and caused the looms'to be idle, , thereheing little dispo titionLto speculate for theltiture. NormanAm.—The .commercial affairs of this town are 'unaltered, the little Unit is doing botlyin hosiery and lace goods being quite of avetaitcharaeter ant not worthy of com 'mert. One reason for teas being done with America than 'usual, in addition, ofeourse,ito theft-monetary affairs, is the contemplated alteration in their 'tariff. as it is supposed a -great reduction will 'take plate in the duties at present irn- Loosed upon cotton &goods. Shouldliiis expectation be veri- Med, doubtless we obeli haven muelsgreater extent of business with that countrylban we have hadthitherto. LEICESTISR.—A.II branches are ender the intitteuce , of the general depression in our commercial operations uttbe sent period; yot,iperhaps, the Check is also increased 'by the near approach ‘of Christmas; after which more activity is looked for, and the firmness. of prices in the wool 'market gives rise to apprehensions of atvances under a, more favour able state of business transactiens.

The new referred to in our last (Brown's Chicago) has found buyers at 110 s, but this figure has been paid with great reluctance. Pork is very dull and prices are again in favour of buyers. Bacon sells slowly; the prospect of arrivals of the new cure causes holders of old to press their stocks. Lard is lower is to 2s, and buyers hold back, anticipating a still further decline, hence the sales for the week are trifling in the extreme. There is a fair demand for good cheese, but ordinary descriptions move very slowly. DEC. 19.—There is no improvement to report of our butter market.
