CROWN COURT.-FRIDAY.

Matthew M'Lellan, the little boy who had been con-
victed of horse-stealing, was brought up to receive judg-
ment. His lordship said the testimony upon which the,
prisoner had been convicted was of the clearest possible
nature, but, from his extreme youth, it might be inferred
that he had been a tool in the bands of some other party,
and, under these circumstances, his punishment would be
comparatively light to what it otherwise might have been.
The sentence was, that he should be imprisoned to hard
labour for four months, two days at the end of each so-
litary.
Thomas Foldes pleaded guilty to stealing in a dwelling-
house, and was:sentenced to eighteen months' imprison-
ment, and hard labour.
Susan Fielding and Samuel Housley, who had been
convicted of two cases of bigamy each, but each case un-
der extenuating circumstances, were sentenced, the female
prisoner to four months' imprisonment, and Ilousley to
two months.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Dnc. 12

Since our last report we had a good inquiry for best qualities
of Flour at full pries, whilst secondary sorts (being much
wanted for shipment to Ireland) have been readily saleable at an
advance of 2s. per sack. Inferior Wheats have also been in ac-
tive request for the same destination, and our market has been
completely swept of such descriptions at an improvement in the
week of from fid. to gd. per bushel.
At Wakefield, yesterday, the tade for Wheat was firm, at an
advance of Is. per quarter.
At Liverpool, al-o, with small supplies and an active and in.
creasing demand, both for Ireland and consumption, a very
laree business was done, at 'considerable enhanced rates

Today. our market is well attended, and with a z uid Inquiry
for every article ; we quote Wheat fully 6d per bushel, and 'Emir
Is 6d per barrel, and 2s per sack, dearer. Oats and Meal are in
short supply. and realise an advance of Id to 2d per bushel, and
Is per load, respectively. Beans and Pease are more saleable,
but pricts are unaltered.
In Malt and other articles, no alteration.

Perhaps the Council would extend some indulgence to a young-
member who had not spoken on the subject.
Mr. DAssoN proceeded for some time to dilate upon the -
subject, amidst occasional manifestations of impatience. At
length, he was branching off into a new field, commencing with
a proposition that it was directly connected with what was
called "The condition of England question." (Cries or
"Order," and "Question.")
The MAYOR interposed, and reminded the speaker that the
substantial question was the salam of the medical Nicer. The
general principle of the Sanator Act could not now be dis-
cussed.

Mr. DANsoN said his remaining observations would have
been very few; but he should reserve them for another oppor-
tunity. (Hear, hear.)
The Council then divided. The numbers were:—
For the amendment
Against it

The amendment was, therefore, lost.
The report was then confirmed, and the committee were
authorised to advertise for the required officers, whose imam
are to be submitted to the first Council in January.
The Council then separated, the proceedings having occu-
pied one hour and a half.

LIVERPOOL DECEMBER SESSIONS.

These 'intermediate Sessions commenced yesterday,
before Gilbert Henderson, Esq., the Recorder. The
calendar was unusually heavy, there being no fewer than
106 prisoners'for trial. Of these 44 could read and write
imperfectly; 11 could read imperfectly ; 44 could neither
read nor write; and only 7 could read and write well.
The following gentlemen were called, and sworn in as the

GRAND JURY.
Joseph King, share broker, Exchange Alley North,
(Foreman)
William Barry, merchant, Tithebarn-stree•
Robert G. Crosbie, merchant, Dale-street

James Duncan, merchant, India-buildings
Henry Jenkinge, merchant, Goree-piazzas
John Job, jun., merchant, Pownal-etreet
William Lindsay, merchant, New-quay
George Ramsden, gentleman, Cannin-street
Simnel F. Symonds, wine merchant, Lower Castle-;
William Whitehouse, broker, Henry-street
Charles Fairclough, cotton broker, South Castle- sre.A, •
Francis Foster, broker, Dale-street

Charles Greves, merchant, Rumford-place
Joshua Heap, merchant, North John-street
William Hill, drysalter, Vauxhall-road
John Owens Johnson, merchant, Cook-stree.t.
William Jones, insurance broker, Exchang,e-buildings
The RLCORDER in addressing the GranclJury said that
the calendar cf the prisoners whose respective cases they
would have to inquire into, contained the names of 2.0
men and 40 women, who had beet, sent for trial, and that
great number had accumulated wiTh •he 54 days that bad
elapsed since the last sessions. This was a lamentabk
state of things, and if they took into consideration the
number of prisoners who had been tried in the preceeding
sessions from January last, it would be found that this
was the darkest year that has yet occurred. Never there-
fore was there a time when it was more incumbent on the
authorities to use every possible exertion that might tend
to the checking of crime. He then called attention to the
case, No. 2, amongst the misdemeanours—a case of an
unlawful assault upon the person of a child of 11 years of
age, and he proceeded to explain the law' as regarded the
protectiau of female children. If the child was under 10
years of age, the offence was a felony, punishable with
transportation for life, which the judge had no power to
mitigate; if between 10 and 12 years of age, it did not
signify (owing to an alteration in the new law) whether
the female gave her consent or not, the offence was a
misdemeanour, punishable with imprisonment of an unli-
mited perind ; in this case the child was eleven years
old ; and, with respect to the commission of the offence,
it appeared that the man had communicated to the child,
a disease under which he laboured, which would, perhaps,
be enough in their minds to send him for trial. He did
not think the other cases required any remark from hint
for their guidance: but if they found any difficulty, he
should be glad to afford them any assistance.
A few true bills having been sent in, the trials pro-
ceeded. The cases were not of much interest.

WEST INDIES

The Tay steam-ship arrived at Southampton on Tues-
day. - - - - - - - - - -

The intelligence brought by the Tay from Mexico is of
no great importance. She had vhry little communication
on shore. No restriction was put upon her entering any
of the ports. The blockading squadron was still lying off
Anton Lizardo, and no movement had been made in any
shape whatever since the last advices. At Vera Cruz,
the Mexicans were still exerting themselves, and adopting
every means in their power to defend their favourite cas-
tle of St. Juan de Ulloa.
It was reported that the scurvy had made its appear-
ance in the American fleet, and that the crews were suf-
fering very geverely- In chnrt, on. chip bus boon oftnt to
the United States with invalids.
A movement, on the part of the Mexicans, had been
made at Tampico. The whole of the forces were prepar-
ing to leave when the Tay left, in order to rally ronnd
Santa Anna, who was at San Luis, concentrating his
army. Every person capable of bearing arms had volun-
tari,y entered the service, and it was supposed that the
force under Santa Anna amounted to upwards of 20,000
men. Their destination was Montery, Zo meet General
Taylor. No further intelligence had been received from
the seat of war in the interior. It was intended, on the
part of the Mexicans, to evacuate Tampico. The cannon
was being transported to Monterey, but the ammunition,
copper, shot, &c.. were thrown into the river, to prevent
their falling into the bands of the Americans.

The private accounts from the West Indies represent
the crops to be in a flourishing state, and the weather par-
ticularly fovourable, although a more than usual quantity
of rain had fallen. It was very hot in Jamaica, and some
little sickness provailed.

COIWNIERCIAL

The Cotton Markets had not kept pace with curs on
of the Atlantic ; but here (lull, owing, it is sai
to th tightness of money at New York, hnd the scarcity
of tr-i Opinions still vary with respect to the short-
ness of the crop. The following estimate of the arrivals
was made tin to the 25th ult.:—

1816. 1815.
Ree,ipts
Exports to Great Britain 34,677 130,504 ~
Sto,ks .

Loading for Gt. Britai❑ 72 68 vessels.
T hi, shows a f Aling off of 119,471 bales over last year's
arrivals. The addition of the Savannah and Charleston
mails, which had not arrived, would reduce this deficiency.
The market for all bread stuffs was falling, owing to
difficulty in procuring freights.
W e extract the following from the New York Courier
and Enquirer, of the 26th of November :
" S.nce the arrival of the last steamer with dates of the
4th in itant our markets for breadstuffs have drooped and
are drooping, in the face of falling prices in Europe and
increasing stock here. . .

" Up to this time the canals have brought down to
tide-water in this suite more than 800,000 barrels of flour
more than in the previous year, turning the excess of
wheat into flour, at five bushels to the barrel. Of Indian
corn almost the whole quantity sent to market by this
route is a new article of export, and principally of the
last crop, the growth of this crop being yet too green to
be rarely shipped. The quantity thus tar is about
1,500,000 bushels. There were only 30,938 bushels of
this grain brought down last year.
" As yet the frost holds off, and supplies pour down.
Vessels are i❑ great demand, and male very advantageous
freights."

MANSLAUGHTER AT STRETFORD.

Eaton Brown, aged 28, was indicted for the man-
slaughter of John Royle, at Stretford, in the month of
October last. _ _

The prisoner and the deceased were engaged in getting
potatoes for a farmer in Stretford, along wi'h some other
men. They began to throw dirt and potatoes at each
other, and, amongst other things, the prisoner kicked
Royle the groin, and caused his death, at the Infir-
mary, on the day following.
The jury returned the prisoner guilty, with a recom-
mendation to mercy, on the ground that the thing might
have happened through misadventure.
