James Taylor, the prosecutor, stated that the *toner came up to him in Water-street, and threw his zrzs round his neck and attempted to take his wa'ch. A vialamt struggle ensued, in which the prosecutor's coat was aseeeb torn. A witness was produced, who corroborated tint excsecutor's evidence, and s'ated in addition, that azlther person attacked him (witn 'ss). It appeared, ever, that the parties were all drunk; and his Lord p, in charging the jury, stated that the evidence against list prisoner was not of a satisfactory character. The jury Tstormed a verdict of not guilty. ,'RUING COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Peter Hay, aged 42, car s, and Patrick Mann, age 32, labourer, were indictel .ter - inving at Liverpool, on the 6th November last, uttered ;y. ace of counterfeit coin, called a florin, and also three ilsk,,eshillings, knowing the same to be false.

THE CHARGE OF POISONING, EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A GIRL.—In the ewe of John Guy, the master carter, who was committed on Tuesday, on a charge of having attempted to poison his wife Mary, it may be recollected that on the first occasi n when the prisoner was brought up, one of the witnesses was a gir],named Frances Shannon, the daughter of the prisoner's wife, by a former husband, and that, after she had proceeded to a certain point in her evidence, she stopped short, and resolutely refused to state any more. She was therefore kept under the sure'ei'ance of the police, when the prisoner was committed on Tuesday. The a itnesses were sent before the grand jury, and among these was the girl; when she went before the grand jury, she refused to Bay a word, and she was given into custody of detective officer Carlyle, for contempt of court, attic] he brought her up before Mr. Mansfield, on that chirge. The girl stoutly refused to say a word, and his Worship told the officer to take her to bridewell, and to keep her there until the trial, and then to take her before the judge, and no doubt he would order her to a long period of imprison ment. She was evidently a bad little girl. Taxtera A "Ticiega."—And rew Fi nn i g an was charged with having stolen a watch out of the parlourtof Mrs. Ellen Mitchell's public-house, Cunliffe-street. On Monday night the prisoner and a woman went into the room where the watch was hanging up; it was to be reified, and the prosecutrix asked the prisoner would he take a ticket ? He told her to put his name down, and shortly after he left, the watch.was gone. A girl proved that she saw the watch in his hand, and that there was no other person in the room alter he left. It was also proved that he said he would bring the watch b wk. The prisoner was remanded. SENDING UP BILLS OF INDICTMENT TO A GRAND JURY BEHIND BAcit.—Mr. Peter Wright, the Clerk of the Peace, attended and said, in consequence of a paragraph that appeared is the papers, in regard to an application recently made by Mr. Goodere to his Worship, which had reference to sending up bills of indictment to the Recorder's Grand Jury, be wished to make an observation. It did appear that bills had been sent up and found, and that the parties were bound to appear at the October Sessions.. Thiy did appear; out, in consequence of no one attending to prosecute, two of them were discharged In regard to the p-actiee of sending up bills behind backs, and without proper foundation for such a course, there was no one more desirous of puttieg an end to that system than the Racorder was. He (Mr. Wright) might, however, remark, that for the 13 years which he had 11,1e1 the office of Clerk of the Peace, this case was only the second that took place of that description, and every possible precaution was taken to prevent parsons from sending up bills impro perly. His Worship said no doubt the leareed Recorder was as much opposed to the system as any one could be, a system that was sometimes open to abuse and made use of as an oppression, and such a course ought not to be adopted without good and sufficient reasons. DISHONEST CAB•DRIVER.—George Kelly, a cab driver in the employ of Mr.Kynaston, cab owner, of Mulberry-str, et, was brought up by detective officer Povey on the following charge. It appeared that a day or two since the prisoner was driving a Mrs. Speight, who resides at 9, Bedford street North, end that she dropped her purse, which con tained a five pound note and some silver, in the cab. The prisoner was informed of the loss, but denied all knowledge of it. He was strongly suspected of having got it, and Povey watched him. He found him spending money rather freely, and more than he could have came by in an honest way, and he took him into custody. The p ironer at first denied having any money on him, but Povey searched him and found .€4 7s in his pocket. Ho then coefessed that he got the.purse and its contents. He was remanded. BEFORE MIF.SSRS. RATHBONE AND GLA.DSTONE, A Nice Potsr.—John Roberts, a poor "bill sticker," was slum lied by a policeman, who said he eves told to do so by his inspector, for posting bills relative to the Royal Cdosseurn on Sunday morning. last. The officer could not tell anything about the affair, except that the bills had the name of the C dossenni on them. He di , i not how whether it was for a performance to take place, or anything else about it. He only obeyed his inspntot's orders. The magistrates said it might be fir a religious service to take place that night, as they had no evidence what the bills were for, and they therefore dismissed the case. ADMIRALTY COURT.—Nov. 30. DZFORE DR. LUSHINGTON. THE MINNESOTA.— COLLISION.—The Owners of the brigantine Park, 97 tons, brought this action against the Minnesota, 799 tons, to recover damage for the total loss of the brigantine in consequence of a collision with the Minnesota. Between 10 and 11 on the night of the 28th of June last the Park, being on her way from Neath, in Glamorganshire, to Heyle, in Cornwall, with a cargo of coals, a crew of six men, and one passenger was run down by the Minnesota. She instantly filled and sank, and all on board perished, with the exception of Clement Urens, the master, who after remaining in the water for about three quarters of an hour, supported by some fragments of the wreck, was picked up by the schooner Jane, of New quay. At the time of the collision the wind was W B.W , the weather was fine and clear, and the Park was going on a north-west course, close hauled, showing a light at her stem. The master was below when he heard the helm ported, and came on deck and saw the Minnesota about 40 yards distant. The Minnesota, ashe stated, came stem on, without altering her course, and struck the Park rather on the starboard bow, knocking away the two masts and the bowsprit and stewing her round. She filled, and in about a minute sank. It was contended that the Minne sota was to blame for having taken any step to avoid the collision until too late, and for having at last first star boarded and then pored her helm. The• Minnesota wa 3 on her way from St. John's, New Brunswick, to Gloucester, with a cargo of deals ; she had an unlicensed pilot on board, and on the evening in question was heading E. by S and sailing at the rate of six or seven knots an hour. The Park was seen at the distance of between a quarter and a half a mile, and, as the Minnesota alleged, a light was immediately shown, the helm was put hard a-port, and the other vessel was hailed to port her helm; the Pare, however, atarboarded her helm, luffed to the wind, and so brought the stem and cutwater of the Minnesota into con tact with her starboard bow. When the Park seek tho Minnesota lowered a boat to look for the crew, but was unable to find any of them. On these grounds the Minne sota disputed the demand for damage, and contended that the accident was attributable to the Park. Dr. Jenner and Dr. Deane appear,ed for the Park; Dr. Addams and Mr. Twiss for the Minnesota. The learned Judge left it to the Elder Brethren to ray whether the Minnesota had neglecte I to keep a proper look out, and to take the steps necessary to avoid a collision. The Elder Brethren were of opinion that it was not proved that the Park starboarded her helm, and that the collision was attributable to the Minnesota, she not having adopted in due time the proper measures to avoid it. TILE HELVN HETLGER S. —COLLISION —On the 25th of September, 1856, a collision occured in the Irish Channel between the ship Yeoman, 1,001 tons, on her way with a cargo of salt, in charge of a master and 21 hands, from Liverpool to America, and the Helen Heilgers, 1,019 tons, on her wey from Calcutta to Liverpool, navigated by a master and craw of 33 hands, with a cargo of silk, sugar, rice, and other things. The Yeoman foundered in a few minutes, carrying with her the cargo and all the crew, except those who saved themselves by getting on board the Helen Hedgers ; and the Helen Heilgers was so damaged that a few hours afterwards all on board were obliged to take to the boats and abandon her. She has sever since been heard of, but her crew, together wall the th 'ee survivors of the Yeoman, were picked up by a ship called the York, and landed at Dublin. The case on the part of the Yeoman was, that at 3 a.m. on the morning in question, the wind blowing strongly with occasional showers, she was proceeding W. by N., close hauled on the starboard tack, at the rate of about 61 knots an hour, with a large single-lantern on the belfry, when the Helen Heilgers was seen, distant about 2:3- miles, two points on her starbo rd bow, rapidly approaching at the rate of 9 knots an hour ; that the helm of the Yeoman was ported, and she was luffed as close to the wind as poseible ; that the Helen Hedgers continued her course, but when it was too late suddenly ported her helm, and ran stem on to the Yeoman. The Helen Heilgers alleged that on the morn ing of the collision the weather was thick and misty, that the light of the Yeoman was first seen apparently three quarters of a mile distant, that the helm was immediately put hard to port, that the Yeoman suddenly became visible at a very short distance standing right across the bows of the Helen Hedgers, and that the Yeoman continued her course without alteration, and came with her starboard side across the bows of the Helen Heilgers. The col lision was caused, as it was contended on the part of the Helen Heilgers, by the neglect of the Yeoman to port her helm in time. Dr. Addams and Dr. Twiss appeared for the Yeoman ; Dr. Deane and Dr Wambey for the Helen Heilgers. The Elder Brethren were of opinion that the Hedgers was solely to blame for the collision. The suspension was announced on Tuesday of Memo. Hermann, Cox and Co., of London and Liverpool, a respectable and well-known house, chiefly engaged in the cotton trade. The liabilities are estimated at £60,000. The suspension has also been announced of Messrs. Bischoff, Beer and Co , merchants, connected with the East India and Continental trade, with liabilities for about £30,000.

We last addressed our friends on the 31st of October, and if our to-day's remarks had to be strictly confined to actual business done since that time, we could do so in a very few words, as follows:—" There was a pause in busi ness during the month, very few transactions took place, and prices were altogether nominal." Never before was the sum total of a month's transactions so small as in November. When we issued our last circular, the financial and commercial revulsions were confined to the United States of America ; since then they have extended to other countries, and the consequences are felt more or less all over the world. The present crisis forms the last of a cycle of four which followed each other in a steady succes sion of every ten years. since 1826, with the regularity of a law of nature rather than the uncertainty of accidental circumstances. The crisis caught people in the midst of gaiety and extravagance, and apparently in a state of general prosperity, at a time, moreover, when the manu facturing power of the country was on a full stretch, and commerce in full swing, with large preparations for the coming seasons. Shortly before the crisis an opision had become prevalent that in most articles of consumption and general use a deficiency had occurred, and that greatly enhanced rates would be the consequence. Large orders were transmitted to distant countries to supply such arti cles in greater quantities at whatever cost, encouraged by sales just then effected which left large profits. As usual, tables replete with figures and calculations the most correct, if we grant first premises, were held out as baits to enter into operations apparently so well grounded, and appearing so infallible in their results. Reports of short crops and deficient harvests seemed to sanction such operations, and hence the ample supplies we received from most distant quarters, which, under ordinary circumstances, would not have been considered too large, the consumption of every article having increased raridly, and the wants of the world seemed to be in excess of supplies. The effects of the crisis were wide spread and most severe, fcom the instantaneous check given to an extensive trade every where. Financial matters became worse and worse ; the Bank of England, notwithstanding a further enhancement of the rate of discount, could not peevent the drain of bullion. The limit set by law for the issue of notes was attained, and in order to enable the Bank to grant the required relief to other establishments, the Bank Act of 1844 had to be suspended. On the 12th ult. a letter from Lord Palmerston and Sir G. Cornwall Lewis authorised the Bank to exceed the legal issue of notes, but to adhere to ten per cent. as the lowest . rate of discount, which was at once acted upon. As in October, 1847, so in the pre sent crisis, the measure had the desired effect of restoring in a great degree canfidenee and of giving general relief. The day preceding the 12th was the most gloomy and anxious ever experienced. In 1847 the bank rate of discount did not rise above eight per cent., while ten per cent. has been attained and is ruling at the present moment As the drain of bullion is effectually stopped and an influx instead of an efflux of geld may now be looked for, it is to be hoped,that the state of the Money Market will ere long experience relief In contrasting the present crisis with those of former years, we must not overlook the greater magnitude trade has now attained compared with those periods. In many respects the present crisis has been more severe than that of 1847. A peculiar feature of the present crisis is, that large Banking Establishments are becoming trading concerns, giving open credits abroad, and making advances at home, thus interfering with the regular business of the merchants. That this transfer of business from Merchants' hands to Managers of Joint-Stock Banks is nothing new is proved by Mr. Ayres' Financial R.zister, in a few words : " The operations carried on between Scotland and India, under a great extension of their manufactures, have augmented in a like degree the business of remitting bills to the East. Formerly this business was conducted by merchants engaged in importing and exporting goods between one country and another, but by an extension of banks, and banking facilities, the business has, to a great extent, been transferred into the hands of bankers both in London and in Scotland." The exposés we have recently seen emanating from the fostering care of such a system, show how great the mischief is which has thus been thrown upon the com mercial world. Mee without any capital have been enabled to carry on an ex?tmsive business and to speculate in produce, the price of which (as long as thin g s went smoothly) was thus raised unnaturally, while forced sales in times of difficulty depressed its value much below what it ought to be. If trade had not been good in the years preceding 1857, particularly the import trade, the com mercial community could not have borne the losses which are now incurred and will later on bs incurred in the sale of produce of all kinds Those who can hold will probably do better ; the difference in capital required to purchase such produce will be several millions of pounds less than it woul I have been six months ago. Middling N. O. cottons which was high at 9,1 d per lb. in September, is quoted in last Saturday's circular at 6:d. The reduction in the value of .all commodities, the reluctance to enter into transactions of any kind, and the sum due to this country of something like £15,000,000 from America and other States, which will flow back, while very little is sent out at present, must sooner or later render money easy and facilitate the operations of merchants. • It is frightful to contemplate what would have been our lot if bad harvests had stared us in the face ; luckily it is the best feature in our present position that abundant harvests here, on the Continent and in America, will assist us to get over the crisis more quickly than we could otherwise have done. The go-a-head system must however be abandoned for a while ; the old countries will look sharp after their customers, and try to arrest any course which is not steady or sound. The firmness and comparatively high price which Consols and other stocks have maintained throughout the present crisis is a favourable feature To-day's price is 91 to 911. The accounts from India are very favourable, both as regards the Calcutta and Bombay markets. The period from which these advices date, concur with the time when our markets here were looking up. Caution, however, ought to be exercised, for such an excitement willinost likely be followed in a few mouths later by a state of depression and lower prices. Meanwhile, the profits made by same houses of about 53. per lb. for Yarns will act encouragingly to the producers of Indian Yarns, and some shipments will no doubt go forward under such apparently highly favourable circumstances. MANCIIESTSR MARKETS.—The transactions in goods have been confined to most urgent wants, at considerably re duced prices. 9-8 and 5-4 shirting are about 23. to 3d. per lb. lower than last month, and other goods are selling in proportion. In prints and other goods scarcely any business has bean done, nor have any preparations been making for new styles of goods, very little demand being expected from any quarter just now. Yarns: The pur chases in yarns have also been exceedingly trifling and prices of the middling qualities of yarn gave way con siderably, while finer counts have receded still more. Notwithstanding very low offers, very little inducement has been felt to (ffect purchases Prices, in fact, were too irregular to quote exact prices for the different descriptions of yarns. A reference to our quotations will show the difference between our recent prices and those of last month. YORKSHIRE MARKETS.—" We are sorry we cannot re• pert anything satisfactory respecting the Yorkshire Mar kets during last month. There are but few purchasers of Wool, on account of the general short-time working of the mills. When sale is made it is at a decided reduction in price, and the general opinion is, that prices will have to go lower yet. In yarns and goods both for tha home and export trade there is at present next to nothing doing, and in general merchants refrain from giving out any orders, and spinners and manufacturers decline quoting prices, although last Thursday there was an appearance of more cheerfulness in the market. The London scales for Colonial wools have gone lower than the last, but not as low as had been anticipated. Linen yarns remain firm, but in general spinners are adopting short time The woollen cloth market is far from being brisk, as orders are kept b;ek with the expectation of prices going lower. THE FUGITIVE SLAvPS FROM KENTUCKY —At Southwark Police-court. on Monday, two coloured girls, whose names are Rose and Munice Avery, appeared again before Mr. Burcham. The constable who took the two girls into custody attended, and stated that he had made inquiries, and ascertained that they occupied a room in Crown -court, Wentworth-street. for which they paid 2s 9d per week ; that they lived by themselves, and when they went out to sell their goods they locked their room, and left the key. There did not appear tg be any truth'in the anonymous letter forwarded to the magistrate, which im puted bad motives to the two girls ; the Mendicity Society were, however, following np the inquiries of the police. Rose, the eldest girl, stated that since their last attendance before the magistrate, a gentleman from Brighton had called and offered to take them into his service ; two other persons had visited them, one of whom gave them 10.4, the other ss. Mr. Burcham requested the girls to tell the gentleman who had offered them situations, if he called again, to wait upon him at the court, as he should like to know who he was before they went with him. The two girls were then supplied with some money from the contributions forwarded to them, and requested to call again on Monday next. As they were leaving the court, an Ame r i can g en tl eman , s t a t e d t o b e a N ew Y ork magistrate, handed the constable £2, to purchase them warm clothing and boots, with which, to their great gratification, they were shortly afterwards furnished.

Messrs. Hughes and Ronald, in their monthly wool circular, remark _ _ _ In the wool market, with the exception of one or two forced sales of small amount, there has been literally nothing doing beyond the sale of a few bales in a hand for immediate wants, and prices are altogether nominal. It is a scurce of great satisfaction to notice that the wool trade has stood its ground so well, very few failures having occurred, and only one firm of any particular standing, exclusively in the trade of English on commission. The present extra ely high rate of i etere3t must prove a barrier to any business, but it can only bo regarded as temporary, and there seems reason to expect that an immediate relaxa tion will supervene. It will no doubt take some time to recover from the'present shock, but we look forward to a healthy trade, and in our next report we expect to be able to quote prices with some degree of precision. With respeot to the state of the London Tobacco Trade, Messrs. Grant, Hodgson and Co., say : With an apparently quiet market, and a reluctance on the part of the trade to increase their stocks beyond imme diate requirements, sales, nevertheless, may be estimated at fully 800 hhds., consisting chiefly of Virginia slid Ken tricky Leaf, and at prices showing no decline on our previ ous quotations. The position of the market has scarcely been affected by monetary affairs, or the general depression in nearly all descriptions of produce, and the principal holders have shown no disposition to press sales. Advices from Richmond, Virginia, up to the 14th ultimo, state a further advance on good and fine sorts, and that 450 hhds were all that remained in first. hands ; at New Orleans a slight decline had been experienced, especially in or linary sorts. No change has yet been effected relative to the increased rent charges on Tobacco, but every exertion is being used to induce the Government and the Dock Com panies to adopt an arrangement on an equitable basis. At the Swan Hotel, Wolverhampton, yesterday, a meeting was held of ere litors—numbering from 250 to 300—of Messrs. W. Riley and Son, iron masters, Bilston. C. Shaw, Esq., chairman of the Birmingham Banking Company, presided. Mr. James, of the firm of Knight and James, solicitors, and Mr. Charles Brown, solicitor, of Bilston, appeared for the insolvents The balance-sheet produced showed total liabilities to be 240,000/., and the total assets at 80,0001. Mr. James stated the nature of the bankrupts' proposal. After a lengthened discussion, resolution were passed to the following effect ;—A composition of 7s. 6d. in the pound was accepted, subject to the opinion of a committee of inspectors as to whether the estate could not realise a larger dividend. An instalment of ls. 3d in tho pound to be paid in six weeks ; a second Is. 3d. in six weeks ; anal the remaining instalments to be paid as Mr. James stated, the two latter to be guaranteed. Several gentlemen, who are.creditors, consented to act as inspectors. It was mentioned this morning that fully a mil lion in specie is now due, or nearly so, from various quarters. The telegraphic advices received from Alexandria state that the Suffolk sailed from Mel bourne for London on the 3rd of October, with the additional and important sum of 112,446 ounces of gold, or about 450,000/. This vessel has been nearly two months at sea. It is stated that the position of the Bank of France continues to improve. The stock of coin and bullion which was set down at 7,581,000/ in the last return, is alleged to have risen to 8,240,000/ and a large amount of bills matured at the Bank on Monday (the 30th Nov.) At Hamburg, owing to the monetary panic, prices of Stocks and. Shares axe merely nominal. According to a telegraph from Frankfort, there is a probability of the rate of discount being immedi ately reduced to five per cent. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—DEc 2.
