The trees are elme to the how:, and the question was whether the trees were ornamental, and in the neat place whether they were pre judicial t" the house. Plaintiff formerly occupied the limas:, and after she left it the trustees let it to the de li ndant Bac'etouse, who wauld only take it on the con.: than ti e:•rta:n beech trees and chestnut trees should be felled, as they overshadowed the house, and he considered them prejudi:ith and the trustees filled them. Au ad interim thjenetion was then applied for to prevent the felting of na:r" trees, end no application had been made to elisiuts: that injunction.

Upon my saying I hail not he began to call we a thief and a varrablod, repeated that I hod got his pots and that he could prove it. I arked him to rime into the bar to look, or to seed for a police man to search the place, which he refused to do. I then sent for a pslieeman, upon which the prisoner took up a gin's and short d it right through my cheek. I said to him " You are everything bet a gentleman, you bad better ge home," when he began to break my windows in the bar, and called me all the vagabonds he could lay his tongue to. I told him if ha did not go out of the place I would put him out, when he picked up a pint pot and struck me about the head a great many times, inflicting eight wounds on it, and then ran away. When the police man arrived I told him what had occurred, and Ise went and apprehended him.

I was once sentenced to six months imprisonment. I do not know what I was indicted fur ; it was at the Old Dailey : The Lord Mayor baying expressed his determination to essaad the cue, The solicitor for the prisoner said be should hereafter be able to make a complete answer to the charge. The prisoner was •emended for a week, bail being taken for I.is appearance, himself in BW. and two sureties in 401. each. . . CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. YMITEUDA Y. William M'rton, a person of gentlemanly appearance, was indicted, with another person named Frederick Rosen tAal for • conspiracy to obtain money by false pretences. The defendant Cruchley did not surrender to take his trial, and his recognisances were consequently estreated. During the opening speech of Mr. Ballantine, it was stated that Cruchley, who was brought by habeas from the Queen's Prison, was in court, in the custody of a tipetaff, and ready to take his trial. Mr. Ballantine, however, said that from circumstances that would probably appear in the course of the case, he should not allow Cruchley to be placed at present upon his trial, but should pro-eed against the other defendant Merton only. The learned counsel then proceeded to state the facts of the ease,which appeared to be of rather an eztraordinary cha racter. The prosecutrix was the widow of the Rev. Arthur Onslow, and a person of very good connexions, and pos sessed of considerable wealth, and it appeared that sine* the transactions which were the subject of this inquiry, she had married a gentleman named Burton, who, it came out inci dentally in the coarse of the ease, had born introduced to her by Cruch ley, the person indicted in the present charge with the defendant. It seemed that eany in the year 18.52, Cruchlry was introduced to the prosteutris, who was at the time • widow, by a penman of her acquaintance, named Stanbrough , and that shortly afterwards she ad vanced • sum of 161. to those persons, taking a bill for 201. as security. A short time afterwards Cruchley produced a bill for 3001., which the prosecutrix also discounted, and before this bill arrived at maturity Cruchley told her he bad another bill which was drawn by a person named Raw son upon a Mr. William Clarke Wright for 1,000/., aad he asked the proseentrix to discount it. She observed that it was • large sum of money, and she should not like to ad. 'ranee it unless she was satisfied that Wright was a man of position and fortune, and in a condition to pay the amount. Cruchley, upon this, said that Wright was a man of large fortune, and that he resided at Whitley Court, in Northam. bonged, and he alto said that, although he would not enter into any negotiations relating to business with • lady per- , 'tonally, yet that he would introduce her to a gentleman who was a friend and neighbour of Wright, who would satisfy:hetes to the respectability and wealth of that person. The prosecutrix was accordingly introduced to the defea dant Morton at an hotel at the west-end of the town, and she found him seated at a table on which there were • num ber of papers, giving him the appearance of a professional man, and upon the prosecutrix stating what her basins* was with him he distinctly stated that he was well ac quainted with Wright, and that he really was a man of fortune, and resided at Whitley-court, Northumberland. In consequence of those representations, the prosecutrix consented to discount the bill, and she gave up the bill for 3001. and 6001. or 6001. in cash, receiving the 1,0001. bill referred to. During the proceedings the prosecutrix de sired to see Mr. Wnght, but she was told that he was • very particular gentleman, and that he had great objection to have any basin-as matters with a lady. The transaction relat ing to the I,ooo'. bill took place in May, and in the following month of Jane Cruchley produced another bill for 2,0001., drawn apparently by the same person, Wright, upon • Colonel Balkeley, for 2,0001., and asked her to discount it, and after • short demur on her part, she consented, and gave up the former bill for 1,000/., and cash making up the balance. I. August, Cruchley again communicated with bar upon the subject of the bill for 2,0001., and suggested that it would be better for her to have a bond from Wright bettering the amount upon his landed property, and he said that this would be a much better security for her to hold than the bill. The pragmatist consented to this being dune, and a deed was executed securinc to her the sum of 2,6001. ' and upon this bond she advanced • further sum of 4001.; Crnehley him self undertaking to provide the remainder. It appeared that shortly after this the proeecutrix was anxious to have some of her money repaid, but Cruchley put her off by different excuses, and at length he said be had got Wright to execute another bond for 2,7001., the additional 1001. being given as a bonus on account of her not having been paid her interest regularly, and her consenting to wait for her money until 1865. This second bond was accord ingly drawn up, and very soon afterwards it was discovered that Wright, the pretended man of fortune, was • mere ad venturer who had been a bankrupt and confined in White cross-street Prison, and that the prosecutrix had been the victim of a gross conspiracy. Mr. Ballantine, ia canals nen, said that the ease had been postponed from the last session, and during the interval attempts had been made by a person who acted at the police-court as the professional adviser of Cruchley when he was under examination, to tamper with the witnesses, and the prosecutrix had given instructions that he should withdraw from the prosecution. He and his learned friend were however of opinion that • most gross fraud had been committed, and that they should fail in their duty to the public if they allowed it to be disisosed of, and they were therefore determined that . the ease should proceed, and that every one of the panne who had taken a guilty part in the matter should, so far as laid in their power, be brought within the operation of the law. The Lord Mayor requested the press to acknowledge the receipt of the following donations to the poor•boz :—From the Court of Assistants of the Goldsmiths' Company 20/. ; from "J. S. W." (Australis), the second half of a 5 1. note. numbered 20,461 ; end from the Draper's Company, 211., double their usual annual subscription, " in consequence of the dearness of provisions." The prosecutris, a stout elderly person, apparently be tween .50 and 60 years of age, gave her evidence in eon flrmation of the statement of the learned counsel. She said that she believed Cruchley to be • very respectable young man, and she plated the utmost confidence in him. She also said that with regard to the 1,0001. and the 2,0001. bills, she certainly should not have advanced ao large a sum of money if she had not believed the representations of the defendant Morton that Wright was a man of wealth and station, and it was upon this alone that she was ilUilleld to part with her money. In answer to questions put by Mr. Ribtoo, the prosoeu• trix said that her object an listening to the applications of Cruchley to discount the bills was to make the most she could of her money, and she a 'milted that a very considerable amount was kept back fur discount. It ap peared, however, that the final result of her operations with Cruchley was that she was a loser of between five and six thousand pounds, and that in point of fact interest, principal, and all were entirely lost. The prosecutrix, in re examination by Mr, Ballantine, said that since the last session a person whom she had seen acting as the professional adviser of Cruchley had spoken to her in reference to that person. By Mr. Ribton—She saw this person at a ball at Willis's rooms. She was not dancing, but. playing at whist. (A laugh.) He came up to her and introduced himself. Wright, the person alleged to have accepted the billy, and who was bound over as • witness, was then called, but he did not appear, and his recognisance were ordered to be itstreated. A number of letters that had passed between this person and the defendant were produced, and they showed that Wright was a person in meet indigent circumstances, and it appeared pretty clearly that the defendant, Cruchley, and Wright were in league together, for the purpose of concocting fraudulent bills of exchange, in order to nem them away fraudulently. It seemed that a certain sum of money had heen promised to Wright as a recompense for his share in the transaction, and that the other parties fail. ing to fulfil their promise the result had been that at one time he was very anxious to state all he knew upon the subject of the proceedings between them. The Recorder, after hearing these !Men read, expressed an opinion that as Wright had not thought proper to appear as a witness, be ought to be indicted, for it appeared to ►im that be had been a most active agent in the matter. Mr. Hollings* intimated that some proceedings would be taken against that person. Mr. lt,btoo, at the close of the ease for the prosecution, contended that t►e prosecatrix had exhibited a gross want of caution, and that the money was obtaiaed from her by her confidence in Cruchley, rather than by any representa tions made by the defendant. The Recorder then summed up, and the jury almoet im mediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Cruchley was then ordered into custody, and Mr. Ballas ting applied to have the tri►l postponed to the next session, in order to afford an opportunity to consider what other steps should be taken. Mr. Parry, who appeared for the defendant, opposed the application, unless he was allowed to give bail. The Recorder expressed a doubt whether, under the par ticular circumstances, he had the power to admit the defen dant to bail. He added that if he had any discretion upon the point, after what he had heard of the nature of the case, he should certainly not allow the defendant to be bailed. After some further discussion, it W 39 arranged that the application should stand over, and in the mean time judg ment upon the defendant Morton was suspended. Notice was given in the course of the day that on the Mondays and Tuesdays of the January and February ses sions the court would not sit until ten o'clock.

Mr. DURTSS sod Mr. Domley appeared for the plaintiff`. and Mr. Serkant Wilkins an d Mr. riuddlestone for the defendant. . . The plaintiff was said to be a widow and the defendant was en attorney. DIU was an action under the inter. pleader act to try whether certain goods, which had been seized by the defendant in an action against a person called Milton, were the property of the plaintiff or of Milton. ...ce learned counsel ler the plaintiff sal/ that his client had been deserted by her husband far the last 1 union years, and she bad not seen or beard of him for the hat twelve ytan. lie mentioned this fact because he thought the de. t. odmt might rely on a point of law, and raise the question th►t the goods were not the property of the plaintiff, but of her husband. lir apprehended, however, that if the plain :di had not heard of her husband for twelve years the law would allow her to sue as a female sole in her own right. The Chief Ihron—l don't thiak that point can arise here. Mr. Serjeatt Wilkins said the quest'sn was, whether the goods were the property of the plaint.tf, and it was of the utmost importance therefore whether she knew that her husband was alive, To save his lorls'aip ant the jury any further trouble in the matter, ho would at once state that Ilr. Church was waiting in the lobby to be examined, and was not de-d at all. (Much laujshter.) He might add, moreover, that the plaintatad seen her husband within the last six weeks. The Chief Iliron—Then the plaintiff is out of court. You had better call in the husband and wit*, sal let them be confronted. . The ushers haying called out the names of the parties, Mr. Church (an elderly, urey-headed man) made his ap t,earanee, and at once ucended the witness box. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins (to Mr. Duncan;—There is your long lost husbsnl. (Laughter.) Mr. Duncan (to Mn. Church, who !tad by this time also entered the court)—Lnuk at that gentleman, and say whe ther he is your husband or not ? Mrs. Church, after a quiet sidelong glance, aaswered .. Yes," to thu astonishment of her Ice. counu l. Th. Chief Baron—Gentlemon of t .o jury, the plaintiff has lost her suit and hie found her h.:sband. (Laueter.) Bat for his appearance I should, on proof of the opening statement of the learned counsel, heed directed you to pre sume that the husband was dead. Ihe plasat.ff was thus soassited. r•WOlfa V. XDWAILDIS.—ASSAVLT. This was an action of assault and battery, to which the plaintiff pleaded a justification in defenc es of his property. Mr. lindillestone and 51r. Powell appeared for the plain tiff; and Mr. James and Mr. Wells for the defendant. It appeared that in April last a dispute arose between the plaintiff and defendant (the former being an elderly, and the latter a young, man) as to the ownership of some scaffolding in the City-road. The plaintiff refused to allow the defendant to repose the scaffolding, and stood with his hack agaisat • ladder. unnn which the defendant rushed at him and knocked him down. The plaintiff put up hie hands in self-defence, but was 1 times knocked down by the defendant, who upon one occasion knelt upon him, and struck him in a most inwardly way between the legs. The plaintiff was carried home and placed under the care of a surgeon. who stated that he found three of his ribs broken, and that he was suffrring from strangu lated hernia produced by the violence of the defendant. He considered the plaintiff for some time in a dying state, and called in Mr. Gay, a entisultiug surgeon, from the Free Hospital in Gray's-mu-lane, to see him. He was confined to his bed for six w.eks. The doctor's bill amounted to 291. At the close of the plaintiff's ere, The Chief Baron said it was impowible for the defendant to prove a justification for such conduct, and he would suggest the propriety of au amogeoent. After a short consultation between the counsel, Mr. Janes said his client would consent to • verdict for 501. A Juryman—We should have given twice that min. The Chief Baron said that although the plaintiff alight have entered into the fight, that would not justify the defendant in attacking his in an unmanly end cowardly Theiary then found a verdict for the plaintiffdamages 501.

Mr. Robinson, for the bankrupt, admitted that the ac counts required amendment, and consented to an adjourn ! meat sine die, which was ordered, with a Wlited protection. IN 1111 rAlitaT. This was the last examination meeti in the case of Robert Gorton Parry, bookseller and publisher, of Lea denhaldstreet. The accounts extend from the lit April, 11151, to the Bth September last. They arc very compli cated, owing to a former partnership in which the bank rupt was engaged. He now owes, to unsecured creditors, 598/. ; to creditors of Parry and Sorties, 9311.; to A. K. Newman, 5,3611. In explanation of this item, there ap• pears a statement by the bankrupt to the following effect : that on the 23rd August, 1816, he purchased Mr. Newman's bemuse, stoelein-trade, fixtures, and book debts, for 12,351/ , paying in cash 1,8511., and giving a bill for 600/., ' and a bond for 7,0001 ; that in October, 1816, he discovered that the etoek bad been overeharked to the extent of about 4,000/., and an 31.mb-hunt of 20 92/ was made.

THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Richard Goodwin was brought before the Lord Mayor epee the following serious charge of await : Mr. Garry appeared for the complaisaat, Mr. H. Wood ter the defeadaat. GUILDHALL. George Parker, John Siwiders,aad Ch ark, 3firshdll three notorious characters, were charged with haring, oat the night of the with of November last, committed a bur glary on the premises of Mr. Matthews, a salrernnith, of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, and with having stolen from thence plate, watches, and jewellery, to the value of about 8001. James Brett, a detective officer of the City force, said— Since the robbery I have been engaged with Huggett and Sergeant Richards in making enquiries respecting it, and on Saturday night last, about half-past eleven o'clock, we saw Marshall pus us is Union-street, Borough road. I did not at first recognise him, because he had shaven off his whiskers, but ultimately 1 took him into custody. When I tell him the charge, be said, " very well, if that's all, I'll go. I don't can about that" At the station, when asked for his name and ad ekes., be said " If you want to know if I was at Leighton Buzzard on the night of the burglary, I'll tell you." I told him I should ask him no questions, but he replied, " I will tell you. I was there ; but if there had been fifty burglaries committed, ;let's no reason why I should have done them." I found upon him a French purse, containing U. 17s. 7d., and a paper of carmine. We then went to No. 20, Tiverton-street, Newington-causeway, and having opened the door with a string, we entered, and found Parker in bed. I told him the charge, and he said, with an oath, that he never was at Leighton Buzzard in his life. I toe-k him to the station, and then we went to 20, Little Surrey-street, in the Borough-road, where we found Saunders, also in bed. When informed of the charge, he said, " I sue innocent of it; I was not at Leighton Buzzard." _ _ Sergeant Richards searched the premises of Saunders, whom he had known for many years by the name of M'Ouire. In a drawer in the back kitchen was a parcel tied up in leather, containing from 40 to SO skeleton latch and door keys of every vise and shape, to fit almost any street door lock in existence. Witness al-o found a small crowbar, called a " jemmy," and an old file. They were arranged in a canvas bag so as to kee p _ the di ff erent size: and patterns separate and in order. Witness showed th, m to Saunders, and asked him to whom they belonged? Ile said, " It's no use denying it, they are mine." The skele- ton keys were produced by witness, who stated they were tbo most complete set of housebreaking implements, he be lieved, that bad ever fallen into the hues of the police. Marshall gave his address as 9, Granby-erect, Waterloo- road, but witness found that he did not live there. fad u known Saunders to do any kind of work in his life ; but had known him for years as the associate of thieves and other bad charaeten. _ _ _ Joseph Haggett searched Parker and Saunders, but found nothing relating to the robbery upon them. In the home in Little Surrey-street, however, on making a fur ther search, witness found a small iron vice, such as was used by housebreakers in preparing and altering their own keys; also several pieces of files, a patent key, an iron skewer made into a picklock, and two moulds which had the impression of keys upon them, and were suet as bur glars use fur the purpor of obtaining the shape and sise of any keys they might wish to imitate. Thomas Harvey, a cab-driver, was taken off the stand at Maids-hill shout 10 o'clock on the morning of the 26th ult. by the three prisoners. They had a bundle and a small rush basket. Witness drove them to the Three Stags, in the Kennington-road, where he had a glass of ale with one of them, while the others went home to get the money. They returned in about ten or twelve minutes, and paid witness 3s. 61. Before they took witness's cab he saw them get out of a fly. It was not a London fly. It re mained within about 100 yards of witness for about a quarter of an hour, and while it wss waiting witness saw one of the irisoners leave and return in about a quarter of an hour. _ _ Mr. Fiat, a pawnbroker, at 11, St. Albano-place, Edg ware-road, produced a gold Albert chain pledged on the morning of the 26th for 11. by Saunders. The cab stand at Maida-hill was about sic minute.' walk from witness's house, and a perion might walk there and back easily is a quarter of an hour. Taking in a pledge of this descrip tion would only occupy about five minutes. Mr. Matthews identified the chain as having beim stolen from his shop. Mr. Fish said it was pledged in the name of William Davis, 7, Earl•street. Brett stated that no person of that name lived there. Sir It. W. Carden remanded the prisoners. Alderman liumphery acknowledged the receipt of 211. from the Drapers' Company, being double the amount of their usual annual contribution to the poor fund of this court. Sir R. W. Carden acknowledged the usual donation of 20/ from the Goldsmiths Company for the same fund. The same donation was also made to the ether offices. SOUTHWAUK. Inspector Branford, M &colon, informed his worship that nn one of the charge sheets brought to this court on Saturday, was the name:of John Connor, aged 37,described as an engineer, charged with attempting to cut the throat of his aged mother, Margaret Connor, at No. 16, Maze Pond, Bermondsey, but the accused was not in a St state of mindto appear. The unfortunate man was a civil en gineer, and by his own perseverance bad succeeded in his husinvss, and allowed his mother a comfortable income. On Friday tight, however, while his mother was sitting in her room he seized up a knife and rushed upon her, and was in the act of cutting her throat across, when his sister entered the room and wrested the weapon from him. The p lice were instantly called, and he was p ted from doing further injury. He had been conveyed that morning from the police-station, to the County Lunatic Asylum. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—An inquest was held on Saturday last on the body of Mr. Preece, late the master of the Hereford Workhouse, but who retired, with his wife (the matron) about ten weeks ago, to live upon his frea• hold property, at Townhope. The deceased (an old soldier) had been remarkable for his happy and kindly disposition ; and on leaving the workhouse the guardians presented him with a silver tea service as a mark of their respect and esteem. Three weeks ago Miss Banton (the deceased's niece, who lived with him) observed that he was unusually depressed in spirit', which an increased, that on Sunday se'nnight Mr. James Price, surgeon of Hereford, was sum moned to attend him. That gentleman found him suffering from great determination of blood to the head, and put questions to him in order to ascertain his stated mind. 'though he seemed to be benefitted by the remedies pies. cribed for him, Mr. Price thought it necessary to caution Miss Banton against leaving razors or knives in his way, and the greatest circumspection was accordingly used in this particular, the niece being careful to attend him whil-t shaving and at other times. Ou Friday morning he rose about seven o'clock, and went out of the house, and in less than half an hour he was found in the hay loft, his bead being held in a cord tied to a beam five feet from the ground and bit body in a reclining posture. Death, however, had not rasulted frem hanging. Deceased's hands were bloody and it would seem that, finding his attempts at self•destrue tion in that way were not effectual, he inflicted so deep a wound in his throat with some sharp instrument as to sever the windpipe and all the large blood-vessels of the throat. The to have had no suspicion of his intention. The verdict re turned was temporary inanity . A profound sensation has been clewed in Hereford by the tragical occurrence. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—A respectable young man, named Edmund Ilaatard, met with his death, Let Friday, at Torrington, in the North of Devon, under circumstances as remarkable as they ore melancholy. At twelve (Vella on Friday night a person passing a toll-gate on a bridge which crosses the river Torridge, observed some thing, which heat first thought was a woman's cloak, hang ing to the si.le gate of the toll-bar ; and as it was late and he was in a harry, he passed on without further noticing it but communicated his fears to a friend of his that it was the body of a human being that he had seen. Next morning a boatman, named Arnold, was passing that way, and discovered the young man Bastard, with his neck nrokeo, and hanging to the side gate, quite dead. It ap peared that the poor fellow had passed through the toll- Trite in the early part of the day : and on returning late in the evening he found the large gate shut, and, as be thought locked. It is conjectured that net liking to arouse the toll gate keeper, who was gone to bed, he tried to get through between the shuttles of the side-gate. In doing so, by some means or other, he caught his chin in the upper shuttle and broke his Reek. 1111.: ELLIPT.O COLLAR, AT T T'l • FAMS WI M PATENT ELAiTIC FASTENING.

The ac counts from the United States, per the Arabia, report tine picking weather in November; but the general cstimatta of crop were 3,000,000 bales. Prices had adv tnced, and 50,000 bales were shipped to this port. These reports have added to the confidence of holders, and the small supply en route:is relied on. The sales tc-day have amounted to 7,000 to 8,060 bales, including 150 Pernams and Moran hams, 61. to 71d. ; 200 Bahia, 611. ; 300 Egyptian, to ; 3,000 Surat, 20. to 4d.

CATTLr.. —Livrarooc, DEc. 11—We have had .n ave rage supply of stock to day, with a numerous attendance of buyers, and it the close all were disposed of at the quota tions of last week. Prime heifers, 51d. to 6d. ; seconu elms ditto and fat bullocks, 41d. to 51d. ; half-fat bullocks and cows, tld. ; pion wedder sheep, 61d. to 7d. ; se cond class ditto, 6id. ful. ; ewes, 61d. to 6d. THE 1 OREIGN CORN TRADE. (From the iforA-tane Erpress.) The advice. from the Baltic inform us that most of the vessels had finished loading, and had taken their depar ture, and that the shipping season being over very little bad been dons in the grain trade. The Dantaic reports state that hardly a bargain had been closed during the preceding week, and that prices had be came in a great measure nominal. The last sales of old wheat had been at 665. to 68s. per qr. free on board; whilst the new which had come forward had sold at irregular rater, varying from 555. up to 63a. per qr. free on board, the latter being for fine lots weighing •591bs. to 60Ibs. per bushel. The shipments in November had amounted to only 38,830 qrs., of which 26,750 bad been: for England. The quality of the new wheat continued to be much complained of; and that this was not without reason may be readily conceived by the weights quoted for new. The stock in granary was estimated at 40,000 qrs., consisting for the most part of in ferior unsound qualities. From Stettin we have letters of Wednesday's date. The weather having become milder, it wu intended to make an attempt to break the ice, so as to allow the laden Tema; lying in the harbour to put to sea. There was not at the moment much doing is wheat, but holders were firm, and previous prices had been tolerably well maintained. From Greifswald and Anclam we have similar accounts. At Rostock, on Monday last, there was not much doing in wheat; the dull tone of the English advice, had begun to have an influence on the minds of holders, and the ten dency of prices had been downwards. The weather had been very , and the river had been covered with ice ; but a thaw having set in the previous day, it was hoped that the few vessels caught in the ice would be set free, and be able to proceed to their destination. Good 61Ibs. to 1321b5. new wheat, deliverable in spring, might then have been bought at a price not to stand 111 more than Gip. per qr., free on board. Barley had come sparingly forward, ■nd was still worth 345. to .1.55. per qr. The supplies of oats, rye, and peas had been perfectly insignificant. The Hamburg advice., on Tuesday, report a change in the weather, and a partial reopening of the river naviga tion. The demand for wheat—after having been very lan guid for a time—had improved, a few purchases had been made for French account. Fur 681bs. red, G3a., andlbs., 655. per qr. of 480Ibs. bad been paid. Wahrea wheat, weighing 60Ibs. per bushel, had not been offered below 745. per qr., free on board. In spring corn there had been less doing than previously ; and prices of barley had tended downwards, 531 b,. Danish having been offered at 355. per qr., free on board. Oats were also dull, and somewhat cheaper; but good 39Ibs. Danish had been held steadily at 235. 6d. per qr., free on beard. The demand for beans which had previously been very lively, had subsided, and ticks from the Elbe were then obtainable at 455. per qr., free on board. la the Dutch markets prices have tether given way of late; and at Rotterdam, on Monday, white Zealand wheat was decidedly easier to buy. Other articles had also tended downwards ; and fair tick beans were then offering at 41s. to 425. per qr. free on board. From Belgium we learn the supplies of home-grown corn had not sufficed for the consumption, and that prices of wheat had consequently advanced. That the last har vest gave but an indifferent return in that country cannot be doubted. The most recently received advice, from France state that prices of wheat and flour bad undergone an important advance at the principal markets. At Paris, en Wednes day, as much as 100 franca per sack was paid for tine flour, being the highest point yet attained. The stock of flour on band amounted to only 13,8.55 metrical quintals. The upward movement appears to base extended to all the northern markets. At Bcrg the rise, on Wednesday, was equal to nearly 51. per sack; and a similar improvement had taken place at Lisle. Letters from Marseilles of the 2nd inst. inform us tha about 280,000 qrs. of wheat had been received at that port in November. From the more distant places the accounts report a continued demand for wheat, principally on French and Italian account. Letters from Odessa, dated November 25, state that of the enormously large shipments made from thence, compa ratively little had been for Great Britain. The inquiry bad been active during the week, and abaut 65,000 qrs. had been taken, principally for the Mediterranean. The rater last paid had been 38s. for Ohirks, and 355. to Os. per qr. free on board, for Polish. Vessels were scarce, and freights were still rising, as much as 16.55. per ton having been paid for tallow. By the molt recent advices from America, we :earn that shipments of breadltuffs on an extensive scale were still being made for Europe. There had been a general disposi tion on the part of holders to realise; and the export de mand having rather slackened, prices had slightly receded at the principal pers. RAFFAELLE'S SPOSALIZIO.—The reason why the ring is placed on the third finger of the right hand of the Blcsmd Virgin in !Laselle's Sposalizio" at Milan, and in Clhirlandaio's fresco of the same subject in the Santa Croce, at Florence, is to be found iu the tact that the right hand has always been considered the hand of power or dignity, and the left howl of inferiority or subjection. A married woman always wears her ring on the third finger of the left hand to signify her subjection to her husband. But it has been customary among artists to represent the Blessed Virgin with the ring on the right hand to signify her superiority to St. Joseph, from her surpassin.t dignity of Mother of God. Still she is nut always represented so, for in Beato Angclico's painting of the marriage of Mary and Joseph she receives the rine on her left hand. See woodcut in Mrs. Janteson's Legends of Madonna. - p. 170. In the Marriage of the Blessed Virgin, by Vanloo, in the Liuvre , she also receives the ring on t h e l e f t h an d . —From " Notes aid Queries." TILE SON OF Tit: EMPEROR OF HAYTI. —This young gentleman has recently arrived in England from France, having travelled under the name of l'4l. Dalval.
