THE SPRING ASSIZES. CROWN COIT RT ---YPATERDAY. BEFORE M. JUSTICE \max.& A DISPUTE ABOUT BONES.—WERR V. THE LA'NCASHIRE MANURE CeneA.Ny.—Mr. Pickerington, Q.C., with Mr. Henderson, appeared on the part of the plaintiff, a general dealer in bones and bone manure, in Dublin, who seals the sum of £33 17s, the alleged difference by weight of a quantity of bones purchased by the defendants, who are bone manure manufacturers at Mossbank,' Wiriness, near Warrington. From the evidence it .?"'"ould 'appear that tb.e defendants purchased forty-two toes of bones, at £6 p . ,er ton, delivered at Mossbank, the bones to be weighed by 'the standard weight in beam and scale, on the deck, at .Moss bank. When the bones were delivered, their weight was found to be 36 tons 7 cwt. Albs. The bones had 'oxen Weighed in Dublin, before king put dn board the sch(3oner 'which conveyed them to Widness, the weights of the sacks 'and the carts being all taken in the gross,' and the tare deducted afterwards. At Mossbank they were weighed without sacks, and declared to be only the weight named, instead of the 42 tons bought, and the defendants paid some: £2lB, beity , the price of the 36 tons 7 cwt. 18lbs. The:: plaintiff therefore brings an action for the value of the: alleged difference. For the defendant it was contended that the bones were shipped when they " green," aud that the difference was caused by their drying on the passage ; but the plaintiffs demurred to this, coutending that the bones were not properly weighed at Mossbank. The jury, .after considering for a few minutes, 'found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £22 Tis 4d. ACTION ON A PROMISSORY NOTt---L - Gr..EEN M 4 CLELLAN. ---The plaintiff is a person of the name of Green, a bill discounter in this town, and the defendant an. auctioneer. Mr. ranee appeareillor the defei?ilant, and, he opened the pleadings. From his statement pit appeared that Mr. M'Clellau si g ned a promissory note for three months, on the 23rd of March, 1858, but that he only signed. it as sure ty of one M r. Titherington. Titherington, at that time, was in partnership with a person named Neal, and as they were about to dissolve, Titherington was in want of £l5O. and he applied to isia friend, Mr. M'Clellan, the defendant in this case, - who introduced him to Green, the plaintiff. The latter advanced the the mormy on condition that Mr. M'Clellan would become surety. This he did, and the money was obtained. Now the defence mainly rested ou this. The promissory note was only Signed as a surety, and the defendant averred that, from-flue conduct e the plaintiff, he was not now liable. Plaintiff had renewed the bill three several times, without the consent of 'the defendant, and consequently this dis charged him from the liability. Mr. M'Clellan was never applied to for the amount of the promisory note until December last, although it was due on the 23rd of June. Q.C., and Mr.Teitple appeared for the plaintiff. Ilis Lordship,' in summing up, said that the question forthe jury was as as to whether - the defendant signed the note •merely as a surety or as a principal. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, .andthis verdict was taken subject 'to-a special case. DISPUTE REGARDING THE PRICE OF COTTON..—BLESSIG, MRAUN AND CO. v. Iliveceg. —ln this case Mr. Quain and lir. Hutton appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Monck, Q.C., and Mr. Wheeler for the defendant. The claim was for some £sll 6s, the price of 37 bales Mobile cotton.. The plaintiffs, Messrs. Blessig, 'Braun and Co., are cotton mer chants in Liverpool, and they employed Messrs. Marriott and Co. to sell' - heir cotton for them. On the Bth Decem ber the plaintiffs' brokers, Messrs. Marriott, sold, through -their clerk, the 17 bales to Messrs. Bateson, for Mr. Hilton, of Manchester, at the rate of 6?- a d per lb. On the invoice being sent to the Messrs. Bateson, they stated that the cotton had been sold to their clerk at 51d per It) ; the clerk of Messrs. Marriott maintained that he had sold the -cotton at qd per lb, and issue was accordingly joined for the difference viz., Id per lb in 37 bales. A number - of. witnesses were examined on both sides. Mr. Waterhouse, President of the Cotton Broker's Association, in the course of his evidence said, that be had examined a sample of the cotton sold to the plaintiff, and he was of opinion that it was, on-the Bth of December • last, worth 61d to 61-d per lb. The - vice-president of the association gave similar evidence, as did also several cotton brokers. Other witnesses were called for the defence, who stated that the cotton sold on the day. in question was not valued at more than 51d per lb. The learned judge in summing up said, that the.,jury would have to consider three things, first, was the bargam made at.6;ld per lb., if so they would give a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. Second, was the cotton sold at s=l- 4 d, if so it should be for the plaintiff at that rate, and thirdly, whether there was a misunderstanding between the two parties, and therefore no bargain at all. If they .believed the third, they would give a verdict for the plaintiff at the current rate of cotton, of that description on the day of sale. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, at the rate of 61d per lb. This being the last case on the record, his Lordship briefly thanked the jury for the service they had. rendered their country, and then retired. NISI PRIUS COURT-YESTERDAY. Justioo Bylog ontorod °our+. of var., ....a - ceeded with the hearing of M'Canntv v. Munsre.—Boniamin Conway examined by Mr. Cobbett : Is an assistant ironmonger at Manchester. Attended M'Carthy's meetings in Granby-row, Mancheiter; saw the plaintiff yesterday in •court; saw him first on the 23rd September, at one of the meetings; heard him address a meeting ; was so situated as to have a good sight of him ; after the meeting plaintiff walked before witness up London road and Piccadilly, to Lever-street; he was five or six yards a head of witness ; saw him at the corner of Lever street; saw him on the 30th of September, at one of the same meetings, and heard him speak ; he spoke for about 40 minutes ; saw him walking home that night too ; another cleigyman was walking with him ; on the 4th October wit ness was at one of Mr.-Dauby's meeting's at Salford ; accom panied the defendant, a person named Turner, and others there • when coming home went down Chapel-street, Salford, to Victoria-bridge, and thence up Market-street, as far as the White Bear; saw a man and a woman talking together upon that side of Market-street ; recognised the man ; it was the Rev. Mr. M'Carthy. The persons with witness were Murney, Turner, and another. Witness made some remark to Turner ; they all turned round, and Murney (the defendant) and witness turned back. Witness did not know who the woman was, but she was a low, stout woman. Did not look at the man amain—he was off. Saw him going up Piccadilly ; they passed him once towards the Mozley Arms, and then, to be sure of him, passed him again. This was before his going up Piccadilly ; saw his. face. The woman then went up Piccadilly five or six yards before him. Wit ness and Murney followed him up as far as Port-street; they went after him up that street and down Back Picca dilly, and saw him and the woman enter the house. When witness came opposite the door, saw them both in the lobby ; the woman had a candle in her hand as if she was going up-stairs. Saw the man turn his coat collar up shortly before going up Piccadilly. Cross-examined by Mr. James : Had no previous acquaintance with - Manley, except seeing him at the meetings ; never to his recollection spoke to him before ; joined him OR coming out of the meeting on the night last mentioned; they got into conver sation when they reached Victoria Bridge, where there was some discussion going on under the lamp, which they stopped to hear. The meeting at Salford was rather a noisy one. Mr. James : I suppose you sent the Romanists to their proper places? Witness : We did. (Laughter.) The meeting-place at Granby-row is where the National school was ; it would hold about 1,000 people ; witness generally sat about the middle of the room, and got as near the platform as he could. Charles Turner, cotton weaver, Manchester: Is a member of the Established Church; has attended Mr. Dauby's lectures for some years; on the night of the 4th October, was walking up Piccadilly with the last witness, and others; when at the White Bear, saw a gentle man and a woman together. Witness and party passed them, and Conway made a remark, upon which Conway and Murney went back to see the person. Witness looked at him as he passed by; the woman went up Piccadilly and the man followed her a few yards behind, and Conway and Murney followed them. Witness had an opportunity of seeing the gentleman, and thinks he would know him again if he had his hat on ; thinks that is the appearance and figure of the gentleman (pointing to the plaintiff). Wit ness went on to Back Piccadilly, and stood there until four minutes past eleven. Heard the Infirmary clock stike eleven while he was there ; a policeman came up in the meantime. The police officer and witness stood at the end of China -lane watching to see if the man would come out of the house in Baek Piccadilly, he did come out, and went towards Port-street.. It was the same person whom he had seen with the woman. Thos. Ridyard, police-officer, deposed, that on the night of the 4th of October he was on duty in Back Piccadilly ; there is a house in that street kept by Susannah Taylor; saw the defendant Murney in that ttreet that night ; witness was standing in an entry, near the brothel, and Murney was near the China-lane end of it; before witness saw Murnev he saw a ge n tl eman an d a woman come d own the stree t ;' she was a woman called " Fat Lie (laughter) ; the gen tleman was like the Rev. Mr M'Carthy ; he had a white cravat on, and his coat-collar was turned up ; they both went into Susannah Taylor's brothel ; saw them after they went in ; saw a woman come to them with a candle; saw the defendant Murney at this time opposite door ; while witness was standing there, heard the Infirmary clock strike eleven; witness went a few yards from the door, and was talking with the witness Turner, when he saw the same g entleman come out of the house. A cor respondence was put in and read, which had passed between . the Bishop of Manchester and the Rev. Mr. -M'Carthy, m which the Bishop urged noon Mr. f'Garthy the necessity of at once coming to Manchester to meet the charges made against him, and the letter e x plained the causes which had led to some delay in his leaving Ireland, where he then was, for the purpose, and indignantly repudiating the Charges,. _ whether made in ~ malice or in mistake. Mr.. ;Tames then proceeded to call rebutting evidence. Ja ines . Crowdley a ?xamined by' Mr: James:: Is an attorney of Sergeant's Inn, London the plaintiff ;entrusted his case to. witness; witness went down to Manchester to endeavour to find•the woman; had great difficulty in finding her; did find 'her at last; she said she follored the man who had heen-With her upon that night to see 'whether he went into the same house as one which had been with her on a former iaccaiimi; she said she stood on Dr.. Royle's steps, and saw theanan go into the, same hou.,e as the man on the former occasion; it was a house opposite Dr. Royle's; she said the man lived at Hulme ; witness went at once to Lever-street, and ;found Dr. Royle's house; it is on the same sideas No. 23; nearly opposite to it there is a commercial boarding house; there was a plate upon the door of the latter a " Turner's Commercial Boarding-house." To Mr. Overdid : I could see the door step , from Dr. Royle's house ; No. 23 is the third or fourth doer from Dr. Royle's. Mr. Overend contended that the letter addressed by the defendant to Mr. Denby was a privileged communication, inasmuch as the defendant had a - common interest with Mr. Dauby and the public in endea vouring to expose any conduct which he believed was calculated to bring scandal upon the cause. 'His Lordship said he would reserve that point. Mr. Overend then addressed the jury, contending that unless the witnesses` examined for the defence were proved guilty of perjury, the case for the defence had been fully substantiated. Mn • JameS replied on behalf of the plaintiff, and urged that the evidence was not elear as to identification, and that, without imputating perjury to any of the witnesses, they miglit have been easily mistaken in their belief that the plaintiff was the person whom they saw in the street. On the other hand, he dwelt strongly upon the evidence of Mr. 111‘Carthy himself, of Miss Gregson, and of Mr. Gregson, to show that Mr. M'Carthy was in the house where he lodged at twenty minutes before eleven o'clock that night, and never left the house after his return. His Lordship proceeded to sum up the evidence, and commenced by pointing out what was the character which the plaintiff had borne up to the time of the present charge, and which, he observed, was 'upon his own state ment, not only unimpeachable, but exemplary.; and, he added, that it was due to plaintiff to say, that nothing had been adduced upon his cross-examination in the slightest degree to touch that character. On the other hand, the defendant was a man who had likewise an unimpeachable character, and his Lordship added, that it was due 'to him likewise, to say that, upon his cross-examination, nothing whatever had been elicited in the slightest degree to touch the character which he had always enjoyed. It was possible some persons might think that his zeal sometimes outran 'his discretion ; but it was evident that he was filled with that deep interest in the great problems of human destiny which so often distin guished a serious mind from the thoughtless and frivolous characters with which the world abounded. Some persons might, indeed, doubt the wisdom—it might almost be said the christian charity of the course which, in this instance, he had pursued. He believed that he saw a clergyman doing that which was a gross breach of morality in any man, and a serious ecclesiastical offence in a clergyman. Still it was an offence into which a man might be betrayed in an un guarded moment of temptation, and some persons might be disposed to think that if the defendant had hid in his own breast, in the depths of his own consciousness, what he saw, and had never revealed it to anybody, he would not have transgressed the limits of christian charity ; or if he had communicated it in any of a thousand ways which might be sug g ested to the plaintiff himself what he had seen, and had given him a warning, he might have fulfilled what duty required of him. But he (his Lordship) presumed that it had never entered into the defendant's prevision what the consequences would be of the step he had taken, He did not see at the time, and very likely he did not know, that the consequences of his information would certainly be that the plaintiff would be put upon his oath to deny this charge, and consequently that his conduct was the means of exposing the plaintiff to the temptation to commit perjury, in defence of all that was most valuable to him in the world. It was evident that the defendant had not quite considered what the effect would be, because he said in his letter to Mr. Dauby that if the Papists got hold of . this affair. they would never hear the end of it ; while the course he pursued had had the effect of causing a scandalous investigation into the circumstances to take place in an open conrt of justice. He used the word scandalous, because it:must be prejudicial to the interests of religion, no matter what sect, that such an imputation upon the character of a minister of religion should be the subject of discussion in a court of justice. Remarking on that passage in defendant's letter which' spoke of the Papists coming to hear of the circumstance, his Lordship said he could not help also adding, in passing, that, much as he respected the zeal of both parties, he could wish they bore in mind that the faith which was common to them both had produced the greatest ornament of human nature which had ever existed, and that a portion of the acri mony and the energy which were expended in such dis cussions as had been described here, might possibly be just as profitably used .amidst the numerous degraded. ana scotting multitude, which they were both surrounded. His Lordship then went over the evidence at considerable length, pointing out the fact, that the plaintiff had, in the strongest and most solemn manner, denied that lie was guilty of the conduct ascribed to him ; but, at the same time, adding, that it was his duty to tell them that, while the defendant had nothing to gain by making the charge, however he might feel anxious when it was made to support it, the plaintiff had every motive in the world for denying it. Having gone over the whole of the evidence, his Lordship told the jury that there were two points for their consideration. First : Was the charge made by the defendant a malicious one, or was it bowl fide made without malice, and in the full belief of its truth ? And next, the far more im portant question : Was the defendant right, or was he mistaken, in his identification of the person whom he saw. Several of the jury expressed a wish to know where the defendant resided, inasmuch as he stated that he called to see Mr. Dauby, at Chorlton Hall, before going home, then went home and wrote the letter to Mr. Dauby, which bore date 11.30 that same night. The defendant was, therefore, re-called, and said : I live just beside Chorlton Hall. I wrote the note in my own house. I live in Peel-street, which is near Russell-street, London-road. Chorlton Hall is at the top of Russell-street. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and after some deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £5O. In answer to the judge, the jury stated, that they did not believe there was malice, but tliat it was a case of mistaken identity. CAZENOVE AND ANOTHER (ASSIGNEES) V. THE BRITISH EQUITABLE INSURANCE COMPANY.—This was an action to recover £5OO, under a policy of insurance, bearing date March, 1857. The plaintiffs were the assignees in bank ruptcy of the late Mr. Ralph Hardy Thompson, of Liver pool. The question was resisted on the ground that, in answer to the question, " names and addresses of usual and last medical attendants," the deceased gave the name of Dr. Craig, of Birkenhead, whereas Dr. Craig was not his usual medical attendant, and he had been attended also by Dr. Roper and others, and that he had also suppressed material information, by not stating anything regarding an attack of obstruction of the bowels, which lie had had in Birming ham, mid which was alleged to be of a very severe and dan gerous character. This illn ess was stated to . have occurred in February, 1856, and it was stated that the deceased was then medically attended for several days. Mr. James, Q.C., conducted the case for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Atherton, Q.C., for the defence. The Jury found for the plaintiffs. His lordship gave the defendants leave to move. This case concluded the business of the court. " What do you propose to take for your cold ?" "Oh ! I'll sell very cheap ; I won't higgle about the price." It is a pretty saying of an old writer, that men, like books, begin and end with blank leaves—infancy and senility. _ _ Two brothers, by the name of Rich, were lately married to two sisters by the name of Wings, and have.. since emigrated; thus showing that riches take to themselves wings. Never seek to be entrusted with your friend's secret, for, no matter how faithfully you may keep it, you will be liable in a thousand continge nc i es t o the suspicion of having betrayed it.

Note the address, SAUNDERS & Co., 16, Parker-street, Liverpool. ' SPINNING AND REELING.—In the streets of Leicester, one day, Dean Swift was accosted by a drunken weaver, who, staggering against his reverence, said, " I have been spinning it out.' " Yes," said the dean, " I see you have, and now you are reeling it home." A Texas editor, in a dispute with his neighbour about a political election, ffers to bet a sea-serpent upon the result. The neighbour declines this, but says he is quite willing to go twenty large alligators. They seem to have rather curious kinds of circulating medium in those parts. A celebrated physician said to Lord Eldon's brother, Sir William Scott, rather more flippantly than became the gravity of his profession,' " You know, after forty, a man is always either a fool or a physician." The baronet archly repliedin an insinuating voice, -" perhaps he may be both, doctor." Tau ADVENTURES OP A SNUFF-MIN.—An elaborately chased snuff-box, ornamented with stones, was the subject of an - action at the Bishop Auckla n d county court, on Friday last, before Henry Stapylton, Esq., judge. The box was offered for sale by a travelling jeweller, named Petertowski, to Mr. Bell, innkeeper, Crook, for £5, but its value was proved to be only £3 10s. for which judgment was given to plaintiff . On the lid' was the following inscription : Presented to William Hill, Esq., in 1672, for his valuable entices to the Harcourt Orange Lodge." THE NORTHERN TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 8 1859 • LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—YESTERDAY. BEFORE MIL MANSFIELD. PLAY-ACTORS AND PLAY-ACTING.—TIVO young fellows, named William Charters and William Weare, were charged by an officer with throwing stones, in Lime-street, to the danger of the public and to the eminent danger of the windows i n the horses of the same street. Mr. Mansfield : What time was it ? Two o'clock in the morning. • One of the bridewell—keepers said that a gentleman came to the station and complained that he got his head cut by the blow of a stone. Mr. Mansfield: What are these young men ? One of them said they were play-aeters. A policeman said they were actors in a concert room. Mr. Mansfield said they should not be acting in the streets this way. They are fined 5s each, or three days' imprisonment. Not having wherewithall, they were quoia, and perhaps they will dream of " Christopher Sly," the drunken tinker, during their 72 hours peep at Walton. MORE LIFE cis HOTRA3I-STREET. Mary Crowd, a regular Falstaff in petticoats, and with a head of hair as red as a blast from Mount Etna, was charged by Maggy Brown, described as the keeper of a " top-house," at 58, Ilotham-street, with having stolen a watch and chain, value £l6. The complainant, who was a sort of juvenile Mrs. Quickly, with "unholy blue eyes," and hair like a raven's wing, said, at three o'clock on Wednesday, she was engaged in her parlour, with a gentleman, when the prisoner called on business, and as she could not then speak to her, she showed her into her bedroom, where her watch and chain were on the dressing table. Mr. Mansfield : What is the prisoner ? 'Witness : She goes about selling glasses, and decanters, and the like. Mr. Mansfield.: Do you know her ? Witness : Oh, Yes, many years, and always thought she was a respectablehonest woman. Mr. Mansfield : Well, tell what happened. Maggy Brown : When she called, I was engaged in the parlour with a " gentleman," and as I wanted to speak with her, I showed her into my bedroom, and in order that she might not idle her.time away, I handed her a newspaper to rend the account of Kate Mandeville and Carry Swift, or "Life in Hotham-street." She went away before I saw her, and after she had gone I missed the watch and chain. Mr. Mans field : Was there any one else in the room during the time ? Yes, there was a gentleman went into the room after she had eft. Mr. Mansfield : How do you know he did not take the watch and chain ? Oh, I know him, and would not suspect him of such a thing ; he is too respectable in position to steal a watch and chain. Mr. Mansfield : How long do you know him? About 18 months. The officer who had the prisoner in custody . said the "gentleman" called at the Police-office and gave information.of the loss, got bills printed, and offered a for the recovery of the watch and chain. Miss Maggy Brown said she gave fifteen sovereigns for the chain alone. Mr. Manifield : Did the gentleman who was in the parlour with you give you the watch ? Oh, not at all, sir. Was there any one else in the house ? Yes, another gentleman, but he was not in the bedroom. Have you a servant? Yes, but she would not take it. How do you know that ? Oh, because she is with me a long time, and has had a great deal of money entrusted to her by me, to pay accounts and do other things, and I always found her honest. And you always found the pri soner honest, did you ? Yes, very honest, until this time. Mr. Mansfield : But really, after all, how do you know the "gentleman" or your servant did not take the watch and chain, as they might have been in the bed-room ? You admit the gentleman was there ? I do; but I think he would not take it. Mr. Mansfield : " Gentlemen" do strange things, now and then ; is lie a friend of yours ? Oh ! yes sir, a particular friend for eighteen months ; he is first class." Mr. Mansfield : Very likely ; was there any one else in the house ? Oh, yes sir, a young lady, but she's here. She will swear she did not take it. And there was a second gentleman in the house, was there ? Oh, yes, sir ; but he did not go into the bed room. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, made a very able speech, the amount of which was, that when she went to the house to see Miss Maggy Brown, the latter showed her into the bed room for an instant, and then handed her a newspaper with a report of Kate Mandeville's celebrated case in it, and asked her to go into the ' kitchen and read it for the girls, whilst she (Miss Brown) would remain in the :parlour with the gentleman, transacting some matters of business. She (the prisoner) read for the girls the report, and they had a great deal of fan over in, when " Maggy " called out " Mary," and she went up to her. Says she, (Miss Brown) have you any money? as one of these gentlemen will have another bottle of champaigne, and I have not money enough to get it. I told her I had only sixpence. One of the gentleman then went into the bed-room, and whilst "Maggy " and the other were looking out of the parlour window at some " tumblers" in the street, the gentleman left the bed-room hastily and went out of the hall door. I went away then ; and after the watch and chain were missed, Miss Brown sent to his silver shop in —street, to know if he had taken the watch and chain in joke. " Maggy" admitted these facts, and persisted in saying the " gentleman" did not take the watch and chain. Mr. gitnsfield said the prisoner was not known to the police, and, according to the story of the. complainant, other ersons had been into the bed-room, and liau also access to if. He was sure that no jury could, by any means, convict the prisoner on such evidence. The prosecutrix might have strong suspicion that the prisoner stole the articles, but that was all. He discharged the prisoner. [This is the last chapter of "Life in Hotham street."] MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Thursday Evening.

The arrivals of hides from other quarters are small, viz. : 8,768 salted ox and cow, from Melbourne; 2,230 dry salted from the Brazil, 425 salted, from Newfoundland, and about 24,000 East India kips. The market for salted River Plate hides during the month has been steady. and for the best qua lities a slight advance has been obtained for 'Monte Video's, (which chiefly comprise our stock), there is but little demand. The sales amount to 10,850 hides, in cluding a parcel forwarded ; the following are the transac tions :- Buenos Ayres, heavy ox, average 59 to 601b5., at 71c1 to 71d per lb, tare 51bs ; light ox, average 48 to 4811bs, at 71d per ib, .tare 4lbs ; cows, average 461bs, at 7d, tare 4lbs ; heated ox, average 55 to 581bs, at 7d per lb, tare .slbs bulls, average 91 . 4-lbs, at 61d, tare 71bs.

Stock 11,145 hides. The London Stock Market continues without any striking feature, and the amount of business done to-day in the public securities has been small. Consols opened at about the same point as at the close yesterday, and continued steady until the afternoon when they became a little weaker, and finally closed at 951, 951 for Money, and 95 1 to 951 for the Account.

The City of Washington also brought 189,486 dollars in specie. Her commercial accounts report that, on the 25th, the New York Stock Market remained without change, the de pression in the price of stocks still continuing. The quotations for Bank Bills on London were 1091 to 1091, with only a limited business doing. The African mail steamer Athenian arrived here to-day with £10,484 in gold dust, and a general cargo. An abstract of the news will be found else where. In the Discount Market yesterday considerable activity prevailed, but good bills were readily taken at the Bank nzininzzpn. The applications at the Bank were rather numerous. The dividends will be payable to-morrow, and the bulk of the loans made during the shutting of. the transfer-books fall repayable on the 12th and 13th. A telegram from St. Petersburg notifies the issue of an Imperial decree, authorising an issue of Four per Cent. Bonds, to an amount not defined. It is believed that by this operation is contemplated the funding into a Four per Cent. debt of the deposits lo dged in the Banks, at 3 per cent. interest, and long ago employed by the Govern ment in various ways, including loans on security of estates, &c. It is presumed that the conversion will be a voluntary one, and that the in crease of 1 per cent. interest indicates the inducement held out. The object is of course to strengthen the general financial position of the state, and thin to pave the way to a restoration of the Russian cur rency. At home a funding is announced, in con junction with a foreign loan. A further parcel of 48,0001 in gold; making a total of 300,0001 since the date of the last return, ,was yesterday withdrawn from the Bank for ex portation. The government will send about 350,0001 in silver to Bombay, by the steamer of the 12th instant. The purchases on private account for this vessel have not been very extensive, but fresh orders are ex pected during the next few days. The Bombay exchange is rather less unfavourable. The financial advices from Bombay prove less unfavourable than was argued from • the tenor of the telegrams. Government securities, though still heavy, were not quoted lower than by the previous mail. Consols closed 1-16 to l-, per cent. better than yesterday. The hopes inspired by the proposal of a Congress are daily waning, but the Funds derive much support from the investments usual at the dividend period. Business throughout the Stock Exchange continues languid, the I issues of the Indian loan being awaited. In the Discount Market to-day considerable activity prevailed, but good bills were readily taken at the Bank minimum. The applications at the Bank were rather numerous. The financial advices from Bombay prove less unfavourable than was anticipated from the tenor of the telegrams.-Daily News City Article, Wednesday Evening. The English Funds opened this morning without change, but a recovery of 1 occurred almost immediately, and the market remained steady to the close. The withdrawals of gold from the Bank, to pay silver, continue, £48,000 in bars having been taken to-day.-Times City Article, Wednesday Evening.

Sir,—Under the above title appeared a letter in your paper of yesterday, from Mr. Golborne, the gist of which tends to show that Mr. G. had been stopped in his explanation with reference to his qualification. lie now mentions that he is rated £34 on his house and £lB on his coal office, besides being possessed of a large amount of property is the township. Seeing, therefore, that Mr. Golborne rests his qualification as a Commistoner partly on being rated for his coal-office, I just come back to the point taken up by me at the Board, and I maintain that, in virtue of one of the clauses (10) in the local act of Parliament, Mr. Golborne is virtually dis qualified, no matter what be the rates for which he is assessed. The clause in question - expiessly bears on the point, that no party shall be competent to act as a com missioner who is beneficially interested in any township contracts. To show that Mr. G. is beneficially interested I may mention the undeniable facts : lst.—That Mr. Golborne, as agent for the Earl of Balcarres, supplies the coals to the township commis sioners. 2nd.—That Mr. Golborne has in his official capacity passed his own accounts when brought forward at the lighting and watching committee, of which he is chairman. . 3rd.—That (if I mistake not) Mr. Golborne has even acted as chairman of the finance committee, and passed his own bills, within the last twelve months. With respect to Mr. Golborne having been prevented explanation at the meeting on Tuesday, I may just say, that when several months ago, he (Mr. Golborne) addressed the board on a question of privilege, no objection was offered to hear him out, whereas in my case, an immediate veto was placed. Truly, Mr. Golborne, thou didst speak wisely when thou said'st, " motives are obvious, at least in Birkenhead." —I am, yours respectfully, HENRY Gouwi. N.B.—ln the foregoing, I have made no reference to the property on which Mr. Golborne founds a qualification ; perhaps Mr. Golborne is not aware that all property must be free of reprisals by APO.

MANCHESTER CORN MARBET."—APun. 7. . Only a moderate demand for wheat at currency of this day se'nnight ; no disposition to buy flour; the hot brilliant weather of yesterday and to-day causing dealers and bakers to hold aloof ; on other hands, millers and factors did not press sales, and in absence of business we can merely repeat our previous quotations ; other articles all sold slowly with out change in prices. LONDON PRODUCE MARKET.—APRIL 7. Sugar : The late improved tone of this market is sully maintained, but the short stock of West India unsold pre vents business to any extent in this description.

St. John del Rey shares are supported at the late rise, being marked 13, 131 and n. In other foreign, as well as colonial mining shares, little business has been done. A call of lOs is to be paid .on the shares in the Great Barrier Land, Harbour, and Mining Company by the 13th instant.

DONCASTER GREAT HORSE FAIR.—APRIL 5. On Tuesday this fair, which is one of the chief horse marts in Yorkshire, was held. The supply of horses was by no means in excess of that of previous fairs, but the show comprised some very splendid and high bred animals, and there being a considerable demand for first-class horses very high prices were obtained—well matohcd pairs of young and sound horses, adapted for carriage purposes, made from 120 to 140 gnineas ; ditto, broken to double harness, 180 to 220 guineas the pair; ditto, well•seasoned young horses for single harness, 65 to 75 guineas ; neat and compact high stepping horses, suitable for phEctons and broughams, 55 to 80 guineas ; well bred cattle, for saddle and harness, 40 to 65 guineas ; hacks, 24 to 35 guineas ; strong weight carrying . cobs, 28 to 40 guineas ; roadsters, 18 to 25 guineas ; ponies, 15 to 20 guineas, and choice selections, 25 to 30 guineas; short jointed and well boned horses for van and heavy work, 30 to 45 guineas ; blood stock and horses of high pedigree sold well ; brood. mares 18 to 30 guineas ; ditto, stinted to horses of cele brity, 24 to 35 guineas ; ditto, with foal at foot, 28 to 40 guineas ; and yearling colts, 15 to 20 guineas ; ditto, fillies, 14 to 18 guineas. A large portion of first-class horses were bought by London dealers and job-masters, among whom competition ran high, which was productive of re munerative prices to the breeders of &BC-class colts. BRIGHT 1 AND " THE " BUTTEB,MAN ! ! (Air—" Villikins and his Dinah.") Oh ! 'tis of a famed merchant who in Liverpool does dwell, Who supply folks with Butter who want it to sell ; His name it is Kelly, you scarce need be told, Whose Butter is worth all your silver and gold. Singin'—Butter-li—Butter-li—Butter-li-day. As Kelly was weighing out Butter one day, In walks REFORM BRIGHT, and to him did say, Come leave your shop Kelly, and with me away, And I'll find you a place with no work and good pay. Sing&—Butter-li—Butter-li—Butter-li-day. • Oh ! no, my brave BRIGHT, that wont suit my mind, " For to" cut my " old place" I do not feel inclined, So to you the good pay I will gladly make o'er, To serve England with Butter a year or two more. Singin'—Butter-h—Butter-li—Butter-li-day. That's a good noble Kelly—then John Bright replied, You're a " Brick," my " old buck," and not to be bribed ; So, in order your Butter to put to the test, Send me weekly, henceforward a ton of your best. MORAL. Now all you who want butter, you know where to buy it, So never don't by no means be persuaded to "shy" it. And as all want full value for their "tin," and quite right, Think of Kelly the Butterman, and Reformer John Bright. A man makes a fool of himself, as often as he prefers his passion before his reason. . • A man is most properly said to be "ripe for anything' when he is a little mellow. Those who are careful to avoid offending others, are very. seldom apt to take offence themselves. Four hundred and twenty gentlemen bad the honour of being presented to the Queen on Wednesday. All men who do anythinc , must endure a depreciation of their efforts. It is the dirt which their chariot wheels throw up.—Arthur Helps A lady remarked on a very ignorant man, who was com plimented on his good sense, " He ought to have a great stock of good sense, for he never spends any." A man was charged with stealing a piece of cloth, when the lawyer put in as a plea that the individual charged with stealing could not see it, for it was an invisible green ! An old settler out West, who was elected justice of the peace, couldn't raise enough to pay an officer for swearing him in ; so he stood before a looking-glass and qualified himself. The Malta Times states that orders have been received from England, in pursuance of the order requiring sentries to carry arms and present armas the Host passes, has been removed. To SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS.—A most profitable article of export, to warm climates especially, are the Self cleansing Charcoal Filters, patented by Messrs. Saunders and Co., of 16, Parker-street, Liverpool—in fact they are invaluable wherever there is bad water. S. and Co. allow a liberal discount on export and wholesale orders. The London and South Western Railway Company, and the Brighton and South Coast Company, are carrying. passengers for 3s. 6d. to the Isle of Wight and back, and the Times, which makes an appeal on the subject, says that, with regard to freight, it is understood the contest is so keen the consignees, by a little management, may virtually have it carried for nothing. PRETTY AccEyrs.—She had the foot of a fairy ; the arms,neck, flashing eyes of a little brown huntress of Diana. She had brought a little plaintiff accent from home with her— of which I, moi qui vous perle, have heard a liiindred gross Cockney imitations, and watched as many absurd disguises, and which I say (in moderation) is charming in the mouth of a charming woman. Who sets up to say No, forsooth ? You dear Miss Whittington, with whose h's fate has dealt so unkindly ?---you lovely Mis§ Nicol Jarvie, with your northern burr ?---you beautiful Miss Molony, with your Dame-street warble ? All accents are pretty from pretty lips, and who shall set the standard up ? Shall it be a rop, or a thistle, or a shaiurock, rirgiiiiatts, No. 18. or a star and stripe ?--- The SHIPPING INTELLIGESCD HIGH WATER. Morn. Even. Ileight.
