LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—DEc. 2

This morning's market was largely attended, as well by
neighbouring as by distant millers, and a good extent of
business has been trans,.cted in red and white American
wheats at an improvement of 2,1 per bushel on the rates of
this day week; medium and low descriptions were also in
fair request., and brought rather more money ; several
parcels of fine quality were taken for export. With home
wheat the market was tolerably well supplied to day, and
upon a fair demand realised the advance noted in foreign
descriptions
Flour is quiet, and without change of value.
Beans dull, and with difficulty make previous rates.
Barley neglected, and rather cheaper.
No change in oats, but oatmeal in better demand at our
quotations. _ - . _

Mixed and yellow Indian corn offered at 3d per qr re-
duction from the quay ; white unaltered in value ; the
trade generally slow and quite in retail.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPOR'

We have had an improved feeling at this day's mirket.
More business was transacted in twist and goods, and prices
were a shade higher.

LONDON PRODUCE MARKET

-DEC. 2

SUGAR : The market has opened with a good demand,
and the public sales are progressing freely at a shade ad—
vance. Refined firm ; lumps, low to fine, 59s Gd to 623.
COFFEE : The large public sales are progressing, with-
out showing any material alteration in prices.
The large public sales are going off rather heavily;

they will conclude to-day.
Rice : 12,000 bags Madras were offered in public sale,

In other articles no material alteration.

The quarterly meeting of the teachers and friends
associated with the Liverpool Sunday School Union was
held last evening, at the Presbyterian Chapel, Islington.
Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather,
there was a pretty fair attendance. After the company
had partaken of tea, C. R. Hall, Esq., was called to the
chair; and when he had briefly addressed the meeting on
the objects for which they were assembled, reports were
presented from some of the schools. They were of a
gratifying character, and demonstrated the zeal and perse-
verance of the teachers connected with them in the good
Cause of Sabbath school instruction. The Rev. V. M. White
then brought forward the subject for the consideration
of the meeting, " What are the requirements of the Times
in relation to the Sunday School Work." In doing so he
took a comprehensive review of the prevalence of crime in
the present day, portayed the vast advantage of Sabbath
School Education, and graphically depicted its advantages
for time and for eternity, and urged upon all present to
give.their earnest and hearty support to a cause that did
so much to promote God's glory and elevate their fellow
beings. Several other ministers and friends addressed
the meeting, after which the company separated.

THE SPEAKERSHIP. —Mr. Shaw Lefevre will probably
not retain that office longer than the duration of the present
Parliament, which will, in all probability, be the summer
of 1858. Should the present government remain in office
till then, Mr. Worthy would be almost certain of election
to the presidency of the lower house ; for Liberals and
Peelites would support him, and it is doubtful even if the
Tories would put forward Sir Frederick Thesiger against
him. Before taking office under Lord Palmerston, Mr.
Stewart Wortley is understood to have consulted his old
political friends, and especially Mr. Gladstone, who,
1 believe, counselled him to take the S,li,:itor Generalship,
if his views of foreign policy were consonant with those of
the Premier.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN LoNnoN.---The
winter campaign of the supporters of the Temperance
movement in the metropolis has commenced, and a combi-
nation, formed between the various Temperance Societies
in London and the National Temperance League, to hold a
series of great meetings, has been arranged. Immense
posters are displayed all over London, thus well announcing
to the liege pub'ic that Temperance reformers do not mean
to be dormant during the coming winter; Amongst the
numerous orators who are to advocate the Temperance cause,
we find the names of Mr. W. R. Baker. the Rev. Hugh
Allen, M.A., Incumbent of St. Jude's, Whitechapel, who
has just been on a Temperance tour in Ireland ; the Rev.
W. O'Neill, Minister of New Broad street Chapel ; the
Rev. Dawson Burns ; Mr. T. Hudson, Rev. J. Harcourt, of
Regent street Chapel, Lambeth ; Mr George Cruikshank,
the well known
f. author of the " Bottle ;" Rev. Newman
Hall, 8.A.,
i Surrey Chapel, Stc. Last evening
o
the series was inaugurated by lectures, in Carlisle street
Temperance Hall, Edgeware road, by Mr. W. R. Baker ;
and in Camden Hall, Camden town, by Mr. W. J.
Green. We are glad to find the friends of Temperance
so active, and hope their efforts will prove successful to
stem the torrent of intemperance, which is so productive
of immorality, domestic misery, and irreligion.

PRESENTS AND IMPERIAL
" LIKINGS."

His Honour was to have delivered his judgment on the
certificate this day, but in consequence of further ques-
tions being put to the bankrupt, and the consideration
which the case required, he adjourned it to another day.
Mr. Brett, instructed by Mr. Dodge and Mr. Banner,
appeared for the assignees; Mr. Evans for the bankrupt,
and Mr. John Yates, jun., to watch the proceedings on
behalf of Mr. John Yate Lee, who applied to be examined
on a witness summons.
In answer to a question from Mr. Dodge, the bankrupt
stated that he had had no conversation with Mr. Lee in
reference to his examinations. Oa the contrary, he had
avoided Mr. Lee as much as possible, believing that it
would be improper to hold any conversation about them.
Mr. Lee examined by Mr. Brett : I am the Registrar of
the Court of Bankruptcy at Liverpool. I was a com-
missioner of bankruptcy under the old system. I am
married to the sister of Mr. Law ford the bankrupt. Mr.
Lawford did not come to Liverpool on my invitation. I
think I was consulted by my wife as to the propriety of
his coming to Liverpool to commence business, but by no
one else. Very likely 1 may have mentioned something
about his corning to Liverpool in a letter to his father. I
was acquainted with Mr. Hesketh before the arrival of
Mr. Lawford in Liverpool several years. I was acquainted
with Mr. Hesketh's wish to put his son in business before
the arrival of the bankrupt in Liverpool. Ido not
remember that I introduced Mr. Lawford to Mr. Hesketh
for the purpose of commencing business. I think the
introduction for that purpose was effected by Mr. Hesketh
and my wife. I may have spoken to Mrs. Hesketh about
it on ✓the Aigburth road, but I do not remember any
regular conversation in reference to it. I was aware at
the time that negociations were on foot. I have no doubt
I was consulted by Mr. Lawford after his arrival in
Liverpool. He came down for the purpose of some nego-
tiation with Mr. Hesketh. I knew that at the time. I
did not know that at that time the only capital of the
bankrupt was and some furniture. I know nothing
at all about it. Ido not think I had any knowledge of
the bankrupt's affairs during the negociations for the
partnership. I considered that he looked to his lather to
supply him with the necessary funds. I knew that his
father had an income of many thousands a year ; that he
was considered a wealthy man, and that as he sanctioned
his son's coming down to embark in the business, I pre-
sumed and believed that he would supply the capital. I
think I had conversations with the bankrupt as to his
capital, and I have no doubt that he led me to believe
that his father would supply the capital. Ido not think
I had any understanding as to the bankrupt's own capital.
During the negociations with Mr. Hesketh, I think
I took part in them. The chief part I took
was to hear what the bankrupt had to say after
his interviews with Mr. Hesketh, and ultimately I reduced
it into writing. I drew the agreement. It was given to
Mr. Hesketh for a week or ten days to show it to any
professional man he pleased. I gave it to Mr. Lawford to
give it to Mr. Hesketh, with an intimation that he might
show it to anyone on his own behalf. (The agreement,
dated the Ist of Feb., 1852, was produced by Mr. Brett,
and put in.) I was on intimate terms with the bankrupt
during the time he carried on business with the younger
Mr. Hesketh. The premises at which they carried on
business in Norfolk-street belonged to me. There was a
written lease ; I let them to the bankrupt. I prepared
the lease. During the time they carried on business I did
not advance either of them money beyond a pound or two.
The bankrupt insured his life three or four times. I knew
the bankrupt insured his life soon after he entered into
business with Mr. Hesketh. I have no doubt it was men-
tioned to me, but 1 was not consulted about it. I think I
was made acquainted with the fact that he borrowed
money on each of the insurances, through his father, who
was the substantial guarantee, and that his father received
the money, but did not pay it over at once to the bank-
rupt. I did not know anything as to the amounts received
by the father, or advanced by him to the bankrupt. Mr.
Cazenove, the official assignee of the court, is the father-
in law of the bankrupt. In April, 1853, I believe Mr.
John Cazenove was secretary to the Family Endowment
Society; he is brother to the official assignee. I had no
knowledge of the amounts advanced by the father to the
bankrupt, except from the bankrupt, and that they
amounted to £2,000 or 3,000. In 1852 and 1853, the
bankrupt spoke to me from time to time about his
business. He complained very much that he had no
assistance from his partner. At first he was rather
sanguine about his business.
Mr. John Yates here interfered, and requested that the
examination should be taken down by question and
answer, as if produced in a narrative form in any other
court the nature of the examination could not be properly
understood.
His Honour concurred with Mr. Yates, and observed
that the narrative form was adopted only when all parties
assented to it.
The examination was then resumed: In 1852 and 1853,
the bankrupt informed me several times of the want of
success in his business. At first he was sanguine, but he
subsequently complained that the small painters to whom
he sold his goods were bad persons to deal with, and that
he had to put a great many of them into the County Court.
He complained, ultimately, of non-success, and that it was
not, so profitable as he had anticipated. His last repro.
sentation was, that his losses in trading were inconsider-
able, but that the money expended in the plant in estab.
fishing the business had been their great mistake; that
they paid the foreman a larger salary than he should
receive, that the mills were placed there for a larger
business than they could at first command, and if
they had commenced with smaller machinery and
premises they would have done better, and that they
had to engage a bookkeeper to do the business which
young Mr. Hesketh represented himself capable of doing.
was, in the course of 1853, spoken to by the bankrupt
about borrowing money from Mr. G. H. Ames, of Bristol.
The bankrupt, I believe, suggested that his cousin, Mr.
Ames. would lend him some money, and told me that he
would write to ask for some, and refer him to me as
knowing the property which he proposed to give as
security. Ido not remember that anything was sail to
me about the amount he wished to borrow, but I know
that he ultimately borrowed £1,500 from Mr. Ames. I
do not think he made any communication as to the state
of his business which made him borrow so large a sum of
money at that time. Ido not remember making any
particular enquiry as to the state of his business at that
time, but I had a general impression as to his prospects
in business. My impression was, that the business might
ultimately be made to pay, but that it might require
some time to establish it as a profitable business. I pre-
pared the agreement for the loan from Mr. Ames, but I
do not know whether it was adopted and acted upon. I
do not remember that I was the attesting witness to the
agreement. I will not say that I was nmt. I do not
recollect when there was a dissolution of the partnership
between young Mr. Hesketh and the bankrupt. Ido not
know that there was a dissolution of partnership at any
time. Mr. Hesketh was an infant, and was to have been
a partner. Ido not know the time the bankrupt ceased
to carry on business in Norfolk-street. I was spoken to
as to their discontinuing business, when a letter came
from Mr. Hesketh saying he thought it had better be
given up. I did not know at that time that his losses in
the trading at Norfolk-street were as much as £3,500. My
impression was that the trade losses were very incon-
siderable, but that he had invested too much money in the
buildings and machinery. I had been told by the bank-
rupt, that Mr. Hesketh had advanced £1,750 to establish
the business. I believe he also advanced .W 2,000 by way
of loan to Mr. Lawford or his father. I heard that the
bankrupt and his father executed a bond as security,
repayable, as I believe, in 1859. Ido not know for what
purpose the money was lent, but I believe it was to
carry on the business.
To Mr. Yates : I think there was an agreement other
than that of the Ist February, 1852, between the Heskeths
and the bankrupt as to the Norfolk-street business. There
was an agreement on giving up the business.
To Mr. Brett: I cannot say whether it was verbal or
written; I was only told of it by the bankrupt.
The examination was then adjourned.

PLUNDER OF BAG3.—Thomas Murphy. late warehouse.
man to Messrs. Trimmer and Grainger, was brought up
on remand, on a charge with having stolen a quantity of
bags that covered Indian corn. Mr. Hull, of the firm of
Fletcher and Hull, appeared for Messrs. Trimmer and
Grainger, and said that the firm did not wish to prosecute,
but he was there to give every information required. Mr.
M`Donnell, barrister, appeared for the prisoner, who was
prosecuted at the suit of the master-Porter, who had the
discharging of the ship. The details of the case have
already appeared. The facts were these :—Corn was
landed in bulk from the ship Richard Robinson—the
quantity being equal to 6,666 bags. The corn being
landed in bulk was put into bags, And thus passed through
the scale when the master-porter became responsible, and
relied on the empty bags as a'check. There were 66 bags
not returned to the master-porter and these were put
aside by the prisoner, and several witnesses proved that the
prisoner had concealed the bags. The line of defence was,
that the bags were put by in orde r to protect, Messrs.
Trimmers Grainger, because it was alleged that some
of the bags were not full when delivered, and, therefore,
the empty bags were laid aside to make up for the
deficiency. Mr. 111‘Donnell made an ale speech
ence was
for the
prisoner, who was discharged, because t bhe evid
not considered sufficient to convict him.

BEFORE MESSRS, AIKIN AND sTEWART

The Chairman : Such is not the case on the Aigburth
road. Last night I was there, and I was pleased with
the lights the lamps gave. I have no complaint to make,
arid yet I consume gas almost at the extremity of the
township.
Several Commissioners supported the statement made
by Mr. Dansie, as to the inefficient supply of gas in the
Grove-park district; and, on the motion of Mr. Dansie,
seconded by Mr. Boult, the Llw Clerk was directed to
communicate with the gas company as to the inefficient
supply of gas in the Grove-park and neighbourhood.

The proceedings of this committee were read. It was
recommended that the tender of Mr. Abraham Thomas,
for constructing a sewer, &c.. i❑ Grove-park, be accepted.
The recommendation was unanimously adopted, and the
law clerk was instructed to take the necessary steps for
forwarding the works.
THE TOLLING OF THE CEMETERY BELL.
A letter was read from the clerk of the burial board,
stating that that board had taken into consideration the
communication from the board of health, relative to a com-
plaint made that the tolling of the cemetery bell was a
nuisance to the inhabitants of the district, and had passed a
resolution to the effect that in future the bell would not
commence tolling until the funeral had arrived at the
cemetery gates, instead of when it first came in sight, and
and that the burial board had given such instructions as to
the tolling of the bell as would prevent any future cause of
