In the postscript the hat letter, the bankrupt says—" I will make and 111 P a eY payable at one of the banks in Leeds, will not a direct you of payment, which promise was rutperfortned: On the 9th of September, the bank lion en d, °rses a bill for £43 10s. for the accommoda anoth °' bill party, and on the 13th he endorses s er, bill of similar amouut.

On the 18th of October, the bankrupt ' wr ites to M r . Hirst telling him to call a t , the telegraph office in L ee d s at one o ' clock on the morrow (the 19th), when he will remit the money at that time. This is not done ; but the bankrupt says ho went to the telegraph t%ce .and—found there that they could not remit the koney to Leed s . B e i ng , however, in Liverpool, with money in his pocket, as he says, he said, in answer to a question from the court, that he could not send a post office order, as the money-order office closed at three. lie had forgott en th a t t h e t i me fi xe d for sending the money e Money was one and not th r ee o'clock, and he would pro bably have found that on application even after three at the money-order office, lie might have remitted the money.

On the 20th he writes another letter to Mr. Hirst, stating the fact of his having gone to Liverpool, "thinking of sending him an order by telegraph, s tating , that he found they could not send to Leeds, and promising to send it (the money) by the next test without fail. The order is promised to be sent ° ll l the bank on the 21st, so that he (Mr. Hirst) Will be sure to get it by the next post. This closes the 'series of letters, and it was followed by the bankrupt presenting a petition of adjudication against !umself on the 26th of October ; but this, it appears, he did to stop an execution. I regret to find in this ease a man sacrificin g a character earned and received from the rector of his parish as a parish clerk and schoolmaster for a period of ten years by becoming 411 irregul ar an d unfaithful tradesman ; but I do not think a i s a case call i ng for that extreme punishment Which Was asked at the hand s of the court b y M r.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE AGAINST A PUBLICAN .-- Nathan Caunee, a publican -. iu Madd6x=street, was charged under the following circumstances Legg, one of the resident keepers at Rose-bill station, stated that the defendant was charged for selling drink to chil dren under sixteen years of age. He said, about seven o'clock on last Sunday evening, three girls, one twelve, one thirteen, and one ten years of age, were brought into the station, in a state of intoxication. They lay on the floor, as if dead from drink. A doctor from St: Anne's Dispensary was brought, and he administered an emetic, and one of them was able to t 311 where she lived. The parents of the girls were sent for, and they were sent home, but in a sad state from the effects of drink. Inspector Duggan said, he heard of the affair, and went to make inquiry about it, and he found, from a statement made by one of the girls, that a young man in the shop and Mr. Caunce served them with rum and beer, and that they all got drunk. Mr. Chilton appeared for the defendant, and endeavoured to show that the girls were totally mistaken as to the house • but two of the girls went with him to the house, and clearly pointed it out to hini. Catherine Booth, 13 years of age, who lives in Back Milton-street, and who is engaged in a cook-shop in Whitechapel, was examined said she went out on last Sunday evening, with five other girls, and they went to the shop of the defendant, where they had three naggins of rum, and paid one shillinc , for it. After that three bows came in, and they had half b a gallon of ale together, She said they had all been together in the house before, and had been drinking there. She stated that the result, of course, was, they all got drunk, and the . police found them so. She swore that the defendant's wife and son served them, as they had often done before. Mary Mooney, a girl ten years of age, one of the "batch," fully corroborated the statement. Several other girls and boys were examined, and fully proved the fact, and also that they were in the habit of getting drink there. They swore that they got the drink on the night in question from the son and wife of defendant, and they all proved beyond doubt that the defendant's house was the place they got the drink. It was attempted to be shown that the boys and girls were mistaken as to the house, and that the wife of the defendant was not in the bar on the night in question, but the proof failed. Mr. Wyburgh pointed- out to the magistrates, that if they believed the evidence, they could fine the defendant 20s. in each case, and their Worships having expressed their horror of the conduct of the defendant, fined him 20s. in the case proved, and ordered him to be summoned sepa rately in each of the other cases.

The facts follows. About a fortnight ago named John Joseph Daignan. of are as a pollee the E LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. VERY FINE OYSTEMI —A young man who gave the name of 'William Hill, and who told officer 533, who had him in charge, that he was an out-door clerk to T. D. Anderson, Esq., T.C., was charged by Charles M'May, for having stolen the sum of one shilling- from him. The officer said, that he was on duty in Queen square, the previous night, when he heard cries of stop the robber," and on going forward he saw the prisoner running as fast as he could, and he caught him at the corner of Hood-street, when the prosecutor came up . and charged him with stealing a shilling.. The complainant said, he keens an oyster stall near the market, and was plying his trade as usual, the previous night, when the prisoner came up and asked him if the oysters were good ? Very good oysters, says he. Then give me a shilling's worth said the prisoner, in order that I may get an appetite for my supper. The oysters were duly opened and bearded, and as duly despatched by Mr. Hill. One would have thought that the reci pient of such a goodly wild, would have duly reimbursed the proprietor ; and, accordingly, Mr. Mil asked Mr. M'May for a shilling, hinting that he was about giving him double that sum ; but, instead of doing so, he ran off with the shilling in his hand and the oysters in his stomach. The prisoner said lie was - very sorry for what had taken place, but he did not remember what had happened, as he was drunk, and did not remember any thing about it. He was willing to pay ten times the amount to the oysterman, as lie would not do such a thing for the world. He was discharged, the oysterman having been compensated. CHARGE OF FEHJURY.—Detective officer Eaton brought up a respectable looking man, about sixty years of age, named John Sperrett, who lives in Chapelfield-lane, Manchester, on a charge of having committed perjury. Mr. Fearnley, barrister, of Manchester, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Block for the prisoner. The case arose out of an action tried at the last assizes here, when Messrs. James Brown and Co., of Manchester, brought an action against M6srs. Dewhurst and Co., of Hud dersfield, for an infringement of a patent of a design of printed Orleans. On the trial the prisoner was examined for the defence, and produced a receipt book of and for printed • patterns of goods made from the receipts, and he swore that the pattern in dispute was printed by him 20 years ago, whilst the plaintiffs in the action alleged that they had had the patent from eight to ten years, and on this, the assignment of perjury was made. Mr. Fearnley opened the case, the same as he did on Wednesday, when applying forthe warrant to arrest the prisoner, and having done so, called the following witnesses: John Eaton, a detective policeman, said, he arrested the prisoner on Wednesday night in Manchester, in his bed room; found a book in a box in the kitchen, and another division of . the London met - ropolitan - police—a pay sergeant in the force, was missing, and at the same time a considerable sum of money, with which he was intrusted to pay the men, was also not to be found. A search was made, but to no effect, the man had escaped all enquiry. The London policemen were on the alert—the telegraph wires went in vain, the missing sergeant was not to be had. The fact was communicated to the Liverpool police, and a London officer came down here express, but he might as well have remained abont the station-house of the London E division, as it was all no use. Some days after the missing sergeant, there was the wife of another sergeant of the same divi sion missing. This woman's name is Catherine Wilkins, and her husband:never suspected anything wrong. However, when he missed over £7O in hard cash, that he had- saved up by his honest industry, he thought it time to look out. It was then supposed that Sergeant Duignan, and Mrs. Sergeant Wilkins, had eloped together, but as there was no proof of such a thing, of course there was nothing more than vague rumours. However, again, another detective from London came down, but his efforts were quite unsuccessful. The matter rested so; but Mr. John Scott, of our detective force, did not rest so. Mr. Scott knew better than the London detective what to do, and he had an eye to business, and after a great deal of exertion, he traced Sergeant Daignan and Mrs. Sergeant Wilkins to the Com - mereial Hotel, Dale-street. He then followed them to two or three places in town, and finally, on yesterday (Friday), he arrested both on board a ship, called the Switzerland, in the river, bound for New York. They had a great deal of lug gage and other thin g s, and the woman had a child four months old with her, and asked several persons here, -with whom she came in contact, if they had ever seen a child so like its father—meaning Sergeant Duignan. It is unnecessary to say that Scott is deserving of much credit for his exertions in this case, as he 'has succeeded in making a cap ture, which the London police failed to do ; indeed Scott is one of the most useful, intelligent, and active in the whole force, and this, with other recently recorded cases, prove him to be so. He took the prisoners to Loudon last night. He can teach the Landon detectives what to do. THE BURNS CENTENARY TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—With reference to the letter. of " Lang Tam," which appeared in ' your paper of Wednes day last, I regret very much to see, from what is stated, in Wednesday's paper, that the Scotch dances are not to preponderate, but, on the contrary, are not put even upon an equality, in number and frequency, with the English dances, by the committee of management. Is this justice to Scotland for such an occasion ? Shame be upon it, and upon every Scotchman who can be so low minded and mean to assent to anything of the kind. They can have no claim to affinity with the " Scots who wha with Wallace" &c., and the sooner they abnegate their self-assumed func tions, the better, and not disgrace the land of their birth. What would our immortal bard himself say could he come among us. Hear his own words, then, ride his life by Allan Cunning ham. He was dining with a hospitable Highland gentleman, where he was introduced afterwards to a merry party. " Our dancing," says the bard, " was none of the French or English insipidly for mal movements. The ladies sling Scotch songs like angels ; then we flew at Bab at the bowster,' Tullochgoram," Loch Erroch side,' &c., like midges sporting in the mottie sun ! " small book on his person, and now produces them. The prisoner told him these were the books he gave evidence on at the last assizes, between Brown of Man chester and Dewhurst of Huddersfield. Mr. Morcom, of the firm of Brown and Co , was examined, and said, he remembered the prisoner being examined at the trial on the 7th December. (Book and pattern produced).. The prisoner said he placed the pattern in the book twenty years ago ; that it was taken from a piece printed by himself. 'Witness is in the trade thirty-eight years, and the pattern was only known a few years ago—not twenty years ago. Mr. Ingham first produced the pattern ; manages our stuff department. The witness was, cross - examined by Mr. Bluck, but nothing particular was elicited. Mr. William Ingham, the manager of the stuff depart ment, at Messrs. Brown's, proved that the prisoner had sworn that he printed the pattern twenty years ago. The witness proved having invented the pattern ; it is a single twist Orleans. To Mr. Bluck : I gave the sketch to our printer, and he struck off the design. I first conceived the idea, and the printer drew •the sketch, and gave it to the designer. The single twist Orleans is only in use eight or ten years. The plaintiffs (Brown and Co.) did not move for a new trial. Edward Robinson was examined generally, and the amount of his evidence was that the pattern was not kown 20 years ago. In reply to Mr. Bluck, the witness said the print might be done 20 years ago. Mr. S. Gills, of Staleybridge, R. Shirwin, James Bustwell, Richard Brindle, Mr. Heywood, and Mr. John Ingham were called to prove I hope, therefore, •to see in your paper, imme diately, an announcement of the Scottish dances; and, in saying so, I am far from intending any disrespects to our brethren the English. I trust they will mix freely with us ; and it is only because the origin is Scotch that that characteristic should prevail, in my humble opinion.—Your obedient, LANG SANNY. 21st January, 1859. TosAceo.—ln the library of the Castle of Belem, Portugal, an autograph report has been found from the hand of Jean Nicot, Seigneur de Villemain, who in 1560 was Ambassador of Francis the Second, at the Court of Lisbon.

Wright, jun., and Co., remark Our Cotton market closed last Friday with a depression, the offering stock being largely in excess of demand, and prices in favour of the buyer. Nothing has occurred since then to disperse the previously existing feeling, and the business in progress partakes of that'monotony now, and for so long, the ruling characteristic of the trade Spinners operate only for present requirements, both as regards quality and quantity, and speculators no longer impart any animation to the daily transactions. A good export demand is experienced, and consumption is main- tamed to the fullest extent, but which are inadequate to relieve importers of the incubus of present holdings and promised large incomings. . Notwithstanding the firmness of prices in the American markets, the gene ral impression here and in the manufacturing districts is, that a lower standard will shortly -be current, and in anticipation of such the present action is based. Endeavours are made to allay apprehension on political subjects, but a vague feeling of alarm still pervades the public mind, and it would be forming too hasty an opinion to say that the possibility of Europe's peace being disturbed is at an cud, as is apparent from the fluctir - tions in the fnnds and public securities, of which this forms the index. An Austrian loan of six millions ster ling is shortly expected to be offered for negotiation in London, and the death of the King of Naples serves to complicate matters. We close the week without any improving symptoms. The total sales of the week, in cluding what has been forwarded from the ship's side, amount to 44,210 bales, of which 35,650 a re A mer i can . Speculators have taken 430, and exporters 3,490, leaving 40,290 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for same time is 56,836 bales, of which 52,246 are American. The quantity knoWu to be at sea from American ports, is about 145,000 bales.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPO:IT. —The market continues quiet, but very firm in price. The German houses give out scarcely any orders, and the buyers for India are now operating more and of various qualities, ood refining and fine grocery descriptions found free-buyers at fully 6d advance, but the mid dling qualities of East India and foreign went off heavily, and it required great firmness on the part of holders to prevent a decline, an.l occasionally a slight concession in price was made to effect sales.

Coffee: The public sales of this article have also been large, chiefly coasisting of plantation coffee, and the bulk found buyers, Prices were rather- irregular towards the close of the week; but we do not alter general quotations, the actual sales being for above the usual quantity.

Saltpetre has sold heavily, and prices are scarcely sustained, In. other articles no material alteration. LONDON CORN.-The attendance of the trade was fair, the tone very quiet; prices of most articles of the trade not materially altered. The supply of home-grown grain acts small. The arrivals of foreign grain into London this week were reported this morning as moderate of wheat, barley, and oats. Wheat : English fetched about last Monday's prices ; foreign umltered in value, Flour quiet. Barley (fine) held at last week's: prices ; grinding sorts a fraction cheaper. Oats steady, Beaus : Eng :. Egyptian unaltered in price. Peas quiet. Floating , . The arrivals of groin-laden vessels has been, this week anusually abundant.

These heavy artivals brought several louyers into the market, and altogether a fair amount of business has been done since last Monday. Wheat declined in price about is per quarter from last week's rates. For maize importers asked last week's full prices, with a slight tendency upwards, but up to this (lea - only one cargo waszeported as sold. The large number of barley cargoes caused the price to recede about Is per quarter front the rates of this day 'reek. Oats, of which the arrivals were confined to a few cargoes, remained firmly maintained in price. Deans also could trot be bought cheaper. For Dari, importers. asked. fully las . t. week's prices.

But the Martina has been captured by Commandante Rodrigues, of the Peruvian 41-gun steam frigate Callao, and the whole f her crew have been brought to this port as prisoners, where they now await an investigation.
