fluoan.—The market has been excessively dull the whole
of the week, but us importers refrain from uttering their
stocks, and the supply at market is consequently short,
former prices have been about supported in the few trans-
actions which have taken place since oar lest. The re-
fined market continues inanimate, but prices are not
lower. . . . .

THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday Lewin Yates Cayman, Joseph Gurney, and
-nry Birch wore examined before Sir It. W. Carden upon
the chi rge of having forged and uttered a foreign bill ofil
exchange for 1871. 18s. 9d. The case, which has been for
several days under examination, and subjected to the most
scrupulous inquiry, a great number of copies having been
struck off from the plate, assumed yesterday the form in
which it can he intelligibly plated before the public.
Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. nobler, attended for the
prosecution. Mr. Parry (of the bar), Mr. Wontner, and
Mr. Bickley appeared for the prisoners.
Mr. E. Isaacs, solicitor, said—On the 26th of July Birch
came to nio with a bill of enclsange, dated Nicaragua, May
12, 1852, purporting to be drawn by Francis Bottin and
Co. onsnd accepted by Coleman and Bottin, payable ninety
days after sight to the drawer, for the sum of 1871. 18s. 9,1.,
and purporting to be endorsed by the drawers parable to the
order of Joseph Gurney, and endorsed Jeseplegurney and
Co. I asked him to make his application to me in writing.
He had told me that he would take 1001. for the bill, and
it was in consequence of that offer I required him to make
the written application. He accordingly wrote to me the
following note :
" Louden, July 26, 1852.
" Sir,—l inclose you a bill for 1871. las. 95., for the pur-
pose of discount. Provided you can return me 1001. it will
be taken, or give me an offer and answer by to-morrow af-
ternoon or bill returned.—Yours respectfully,
HINIIT Biacti."
Seeing the acmes of Gurney and Co. endorsed on the
bill inclosed in the letter, I desired Birch to bring me the
authority, and on the same day he returned and brought
me the following letter :
July 26, 1852, 38 St. Mary-at-Hill."
Mr. Birch.—Dear Sir : We hereby authortse you to
take 1001. for the bill we placed with you to negotiate for
1871. 18e. 9d., drawn to our order by Francis Bottin and
Co., Nicaragua, on and accepted by Coleman and
Mark-lime, London: We are, dear air, yours trnly,
" JOSEPH dUILNET AND CO."
On the same day Birch brought me another Vtter, pur-
porting to be written by Gurney and Co., to the following
effect:—

ltur has been in better demand, and some descriptions
may be quoted se rather dearer.

COTTON.—LivaneuoL, Auo. 13. —Notwithstanding
the very wet and unseasonable weather of the past week,
there has been a steady and rather active demand each day,
speculators and the trade buying freely ; the " middling "
qualities of American, say from 6d. to 61d., being more in
demand, have hardened slightly in prises, though not
amounting to a quotation ; all grades, however, fully main-
tain their ground. Egyptians, in which there have been
very large transactions, are also unchanged, the better qua-
lities in demand, while a large quantity of inferior descrip-
tions continue heavy of sale. Sunda have also shared in
the general demand, commanding full rates. The commit-
tee of brokers place " fair " Uplands at 6d., Mobile 601
and Orleans 6j,1., being the same as last week. 6,2611
American, 760 Surat, 6,720 Egyptian, 400 Bahia, and 200
Ferman., reported to have been taken on speculation ; end
3,314 American, 1,090 Surat*, 30 Madras, 40 Bahia, and
600 remain. for export. Sales fur the week, 58,750 balm.

WOOL.—Litros, At over 13.—Business continues ac-
tive, especially in the foreign department of the wool trade,
and prices are very firm.

HOSIERY, &c.—LEterums, August 13.—The demand
both for the home and foreign market is highly satisfactory.
Wools have advanced, and are still buoyant. Yarns hove
also advanced. There is fall employment for the workmen,
and advances have in many branches been solicited and
obtained. The Olove and fancy trades are also in a healthy
state. Manufacturers have numerous orders on hand, and
there is a prepped of continued employment for the work-
men.—Leicester Mercury.

CORN.—CHELUarottn, August 13.—Having had heavy
rains, and the continued bad report of blight in the Wheat,
our market wm very animated to-day, and farmers were
asking very high prices, which checked business, but, where
needy buyers came forward, high prices were obtained—say
ats. red, and 504. to 61s. white old ; a few samples of new
offering at high rates, quality, very various—from 661 b. to
631 b. per bushel.

Ltscutts, August 13.—We have had a moderhte show
of Wheat at market today, and a fair business done, at 34.
per qr. over last week's rates. A few samples of new o.its
'howls& quality good, for which 201. to 21s. per qr. was de-
manded. The harvest in this district is progressing; reports
as to quali•y, &c., conflicting. Wheat, red, 421. to 435.;
white, Ws. to 475.

"26th July, 38, St. Mary-at-Hill.
"Mr. Henry Birch.—Dear Sir,—The enc,oscd bill of
1871. 18a. 9d. upon Messrs. Coleman and Botten, drawn by
F. Bottin and Co., at 90 days' sight, we' authorise
you to negotiate and hand over the proceeds, according to
arrangements between us.—We are, dear sir, yours truly.,
" JOSIPLI QUINSY and Co.
I had told Birch that I was not satisfied with the first
letter. I had before I received either of these letters re-
tained possession of the bill. On the 28th of illy Birch
brought me the following letter:
"Dear Sir,—lf any use is made of the bill, I think an
uodertaking should be given to hear me harmless when it
Maw due, and as Coleman and Bottle hold a bill drawn
g arear ami rienoted by themselves for 1691., I ought to ea-
ts gat it out of their hands before they know any-
thing respecting the bill with Isaacs. I shall be at the Blue
Anchor, 164, Fenchurch-street, this afternoon to meet you
aitwit, at half-pelt three o'clock.—Your. truly,
1852." "J. GURNEY.
OS dee In of July the following letter of the same date
(29th), was left at my once:
"38, St. Mary-at-Hill.
"Sir,—We hereby give you notice that a bill, dated
Nicaragua, for 1871. 18a. 9d., drawn by Francis Bottin end
Co., in our favour, and accepted by Messrs. Coleman and
Bettis, of 59, Mark-lane, has been fradulently obtained
from us without any consideration' and you ate hereby
cautioned from making use of such bill in any shape what-
ever.—Your obedient servants,
" Witnem,Walter " Jointer( Gement and Co.
"To E. Isaacs, Esq." •
Birch called on me the following day and requested the
bill back, and stated to me that he was preened by Mr.
Coleman to get it back. I told him if Gurney gave a re-
ceipt for it, I would hand it to him. Birch said '• Ought
I not to have some receipt for my discharge ?" I said " I
think you °right," and I then threw out an intimation that
he bad better give me an order to Mr. Gurney, authorising
me to deliver up the bill to him. Gurney and Birch came
on the 30th July, and nue of them (Birch I think) put the
following letter into my hand :
" London, Ju 30, 18.52.

ney, of /mph Gurney and Co., their bill of 1871. 18s 661.,

In ememense of this letter, I desired Gurney to write
a esedpt for the bill, which he did in my presence, on the
Mem side of the letter, u fellows:—" Received of Mr.
Imes, the bill in question for 1871. 18s. 9d., left by Mr.
Henry Birch for the purple* of discount.

The mama mderwempeynt a long crow-examination. He
beds be mid, Insown Coleman fifteen or twenty yeon. Cole-
Mele• Meier was married to his daughter. There was a
villainous misrepresentation made about some brandy war-
rants, for which he had received 1601., which he had
banded over to his son-in law, from whose hands be had re-
oeived them about four or flee mouths ago. He did not
know what became of the brandy warrants.
Mr. Parry said at thin stage of the proceeding'', that Mr.
Coleman, his claent,had made an arrangement with Mr. Bonin
that the latter should go to Nicaragua, that en assignment
evade should take place, and that the acceptance should be
given; that the bill produced was the genuine instrument
so drawn
__and would be paid upon arriving at maturity.
Bir R. W. Carden said it appeared quite plain from what
bad already been stated, that whether a forgery bad or bad
not been committed, a serious offence had certainly been
into which, particularly uother bills of the
M produced might have got amongst the public, it was
his intention to make strict investigAwa.
A. S. Shelter, in the employment of Moms. Ninon and
Parker, of Mark-lane, engravers, said about the 24th of
June, two gentlemen came to the premises about engraving
a piste. I cannot swear to them. They gave the name of
Nieman and Bettie, of Mark-lane. To the best of my
belief the bill produced is printed from the plate which I
produce. We printed a hundred copies from the•plate,
and I believe the paper of the bill is a portion of the paper
I looked out. We usually pat our names on the bills, but
s. this occasion we were desired not to do so. Coleman
coiled once at the shop to see a proof, but there was not erne
reedy at the time. After six copies were supplied to
MONIS. Gamma and Bottin, Coleman inquired when the
remainder wealdbe sent in, and I told him next day, and
they were amerdingly sent in or delivered at our shop.
Mr. Tooker, bill-broker, of Bizehin-lane, said that Birch
celled apes blame the 24th of July, and offered him for
discount a bill whisk be believed to be the identical bill
=The names of the parties not apron/an in the
a; Diesetery, he declined cooking it. He knew
nothing at ailed the parties. Coleman called the day after-
wards, and mid he understood Birch had left a bill far
dissomt, end he was told that so such thing had been left.
Mr. W. H. Pollard, clerk to Mr. Holger,. said, I km
been to Liverpool to appertain as to the existence of the
Niesmegne lest, and I believe that in the course of a het-
night or Wee weeks I shall he able to produce evidence
upon the widest.

W. Cleedsa as to the practise of smgraMsg for foreign bills.
He saki, *lt is not oatmeal to esquire us sot to at our
mama. If a private party in Bioninghem wisksd it not to
be hours that his bills were smeared in Landon, he di-
rected us wordlessly. This has often °soured. I would
not think it extraordinary ifs perms ems to me and said

Sir R. W. Carden--Con you resolleet lay instances, say
within the last peen, is whisk an order was given to
yen to szelude your name from benign bills ?
Witness-1 cannot reeolleet any particular ease, but there
have been cuss.
Sir K. W. Nolen said he could not sensed the expell-
ant of his surmiss at melt a mode of esnducting business.
He civil set bet leek ups. et it as sterling facilities of

Mr. Clarkses said the Aldermen meld probably see the
ease cleared up in the ammo of two or three weeks, for
which time it would he assemary to ask for a remand of
the prisoners.

culative business has been done in wheat and flour since

August 12.—The supply of store Beasts was goo ; trade
brisk, and the rise in prices for first-rate animals was 105. to
20s. per head, many of the Devon* and lierefoids. and
other large bred Beasts making 111. to 13i. each; indeed all
descriptions of grazing stock were easily sold at a very con-
siderable advance upon the prices obtained at Buckinaham
fair. Cows, for dairy purposes, in good demand, but prices
unaltered. The supply of cart colts was numerous, and
unusually good in quality. The 2-pear-old selling freely at
231. to 34. each; the 3 year-old and upwards, 301. to 431.
Many of the best 5-year-old cart Mortis made GUI. each.
Suckling Calves made bad prices. Store I'igs increase
greatly both in price and demand.

cattle in the feet and mouth, no doubt caused by wet, which
has thrown them out of condition till October or November,
and thereby entailing a certain loss. Mutton, 4id. to Sid.

three months ago.
