Law katelltactice. EQUITY couitTs.—YESTERDAT. b.1•.1.1 MAY CIIIM - 11,Looa Vll9 TIM UMW+ 11411CIII. PAULI: IN at 1.1111.61N119. This ease was originally heard by Sir .1. L. Knight Bruce, when Vice.Chaneellor, sitting its bankrup•cy. Ilis lord ship theft gave his opinion on the points involved, but the case was not decided, as the parties wished a case to he amt fur the opinion of a court of law. This was nut, bow• ever, dose; and the ease has not berm proceeded with un til it was recently brought in its first shape berme the Lords Justices, who directed it to be brought before the lull court. It was a petition of Moan. Nie:iun, share brokers, ut Liverpool, praying that the assignees of William and Thomas Edmonds, bankrupts, might be directed hi join in and execute to the petitioners or their tit - moue..., a transfer of 80 shares, 60 shores, and 26 eludes in the Royal Assu rance Company, contracted to be sold by the petitioners fur William Edmonds. It appeared that in June, 18.63, the Royal Assurance Clll3ll/111 was formed in Liverpool, and was completely registered on the Mich of Jonr. On the 7th of July Willman Edmunds applied tar and obtained 200 of the 20f. shares of the company, on which he paid a de posit of 11. and a premium of 155., and took a receipt on the letter of allotment. On the 3rd of December, 1844, William Edmonds went to Bombay. leaving a power of at torney with his brother Thomas, authorising him to act in his &Gins and in the pale of his shares. On 9th December, 1815, Thomas Edm o nds paid a knew, call of If. per Alan ea the 200 charts in question. William Edmunds did not execute the deed of settlement nor receive the scrip of the shares before he went to India, and although Thomas Edmonds' proposed to smite it under the power of at torney, it was thought that he had not the necessary power to do so. Its 1816 the petitioners were directed by Thumu Edmonds to sell the 200 shore', and they sold 160 of them in portions of eighty fifty, and twenty-fire each, and transfers were eseeuted by Thomas Edmonds and the purchasers, but the compsny's solicitor thiuking that the transfers could not be registered until William Edmonds heel metaled the deed or sett meat, the registration was postponed. In March, 1816, William and Thomas Edmonds became bankrupts, aud their assignees refused to concur in the me e ts, 01 the shares. Mr. Commissioner Skirrow derided that William Kdroonds net having been a duly re gistered shareholder in consequence ut his not having estimated the deed of settlement, all that had been dant was iroperetive, and that the assignees were entitled to the shares as part of the estate. The question now tam on on appeal from this decision, sad was whether on Alone* .t shares could sell his interest without executing the share holders' deed of settlement, and being duly registered, and whether such a contract to sell could be sus tained consistently . with the 26th section of the Registration Act & 8 Vittoria, c. 110, which provide* "that with regard to subscribers and every person entitled to any share is any joint stock company, the formation of which shall be commenced after the Ist day of November, Mt that until such joint-stock company shall hays obtained a certificate of complete regis tration, and until say such subscriber or person *hull have been duly registered es a shareholder in the said registry office, it shall not be lawful for ouch person to dispose by sale or mortgage of such share or of any interest therein, and that every contract for, or isle or disposal of such share and interest shell be void, and that every person entities Into such contract shall forfeit a sum not exceed ild 1 r 1 . J. 11 ; . Russell and Mr. Eddie appeared for the Testis boner* ; Mr. 11 icon, Mr. Smythe, end Mr. 'Tomlinson of the common law bar for the assignees. Their lordships postponed: their judgment till Thursday bent. ■ATV V. BROTHRIPAI. The plaintiffs in this suit were Sir Jobs Dean Pail and Co., baoken ; the defendants were the Rev. James Bro thers, Mr. Dzsgerfield, and the Archbishop of Canterbury. This was a mutton by the plaintiffs as judgment creditors of du defendant Mr. Brothers, under t. judgment, of which a sni usorandens bad ben duly ente red up on the 25th of Js- Dusty, 1851, that a receiver of the titherents, charge, and premien belonginer to the eeerory of Monk's Horton and the vicarage of Brabourne, in Kent, of which Mr. Roberts was nem and vicar, might be appointed. Mr. W. D. Lewis was in support of the motion ; he relied on " Hawkins v. Gethereole" (1 Simons, new series, 63), and submitted that the plaintiffs' title under their judgment was preferable to that of the defendant, Mr. Dangerfield, who had obtained a judgment in December, 1851, subse quent, in date to the judgment of the plaintiff., under which he had sued out a writ of sequestration facies, in pur suance of which the Archbishop held the livings in severe tration. He submitted that the effect of the statute ef 1 and 2 Via. e. 110, sec. 13 and 19, was to give the *WWI this preference and entitle them to the receiver ais mind. Mr. Olen and Mr. Prior, fur Mr. Dangerdeld, submitted that the plaintiffs' judgment was invalid. The defendant, Mr. Roberts, intemporaneosuly with the warrant of attorney on which the plaintiffs judgment was obtained, signed an agreement charging the ecclesiastical benefices expressly with a debt of 3001 , which was the identical debt in respect of which the plaintiff.' judgment mom. The cue which the plaintiffs had cited had given treat diseatisfaction in the profession ; but, without entering on the principles 01 that decision, it was enough to say that " Long v. Storie s " decided by the Lord Justice Knight Bruce, when Viet/- Chancellor De Gez and Sonde, 308) Jpreciaely met dee pen. sent case. There, as here, the parsuo's "preeminent so particularly to a charge upon the benefice, that mart could not give validity to each a transaction without word. ing its aid to simony. The analogy of the law on wary, is " Lane v. 'Unlock " (1 Drewry, 587), was also against the plaintiffs claim. They also submitted, that the defendant, Deagerfield, having been mere active, and having obtained legal possession through the sequestration, was not to be disturbed at the plaintiffs' suit. Mr. Lewis, in reply entered into a review of the various case, on the subject, at considerable length. Mr. Do Gel appeared fur the Archbishop of Canterbury, and mink the court, in whatever order it might make, to provide tor the due administration of divine service in the parishes. The said he could .ot reconcile the ease of " Hawkins v. Oathereole" wids the decision in " Long v. !Rorie," but it was not necessary for him to determine on those grounds. Ile thought that the ground on which he must decline to appoint a receiver was well established in the court—it was this, that if there were several persons having equitable incumbrancee, and any one of them, although a subsequent incumbraneer should, by greater activity, acquire a legal possession in aid of his equitable right, this court would not disturb his possession at the suit of any other equitable incumbrancer. The defendant, Mr. Dmagerfield, in this case, had acquired the benefit of such legal possession, and the court must decline to make the order asked. The cost' of the defendants were ordered to be costs in the cause. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-TESTERDAL ASTMS/ AT PM PUTT AT GITLDBALL.-11E71111% LOMI. CLIIPOILL WAD TONLINS V. OAURETT.

DYNES.—ALANDIS. Mr. Serjeant Whim., with Mr. Hawkin., appeared for the plaiatiff ; and Mr. Serjeant Shire, with Mr. Petendorff, for the defendant._ __ _ _ Both the plaintiff and defendant in this sae an attorneys, and the action was brought to recover damages for certain slanderous word. alleged to have twin uttered by the de. feedant reflecting on the plaintiff's character. The defendant pleaded "Not Guilty. ' It appeared that the plaintiff had been articled clerk to Mr. T. Symms, a brother of the defendant, and on his death had become the attorney of another brother and a sister of the defendant. Proceedings had been taken in Chancery with regard to the will of Mr. T. Syntex, in which the plaintiff acted for the defendant's surviving brother and sister, to whom the defendant had said, in conversation, that he was " surprised at their employing Mr. Steinberg, as he wee a rogue and a thief, and would rob them through thick and thin." The defendant'. brother and sister having proved that he had mrsdo erne of the wards complained of, and denied, in crow gamagstion. Ihfit they had previously asked hie advice with regard le the mast r in which the plaintiff con ducted their affairs. Mr. &titans Shoe addressed the jury for the defendant, submitting that woods spoken by one brother to another re garding family transactions ought clearly to come within the category of a privileged communication. Lord Campbell, in summing up, told the jury that it memed to him upon the evid ence t h at t h e words alleged in the declaration had been uttered, and that there was no privilege atteuding the occasion when they were spoken. If this was their opinion, they would find for the plaintiff. The question of dulness was entirely for their considera tion: . _ . The jury nturned a verdict for the plaintiff—derang es 601. IN ill NAY. This was the certificate meeting in the case of Allan Stewart Hay, shipowner. merchant, and commission agent, of Old Broad street. The accounts prepared by Messrs. Robinson end Knowles, extended over six years prior to the failure in May last. At the beginning of that period the bankrupt had a capital of 6281. ; he now owed to unsecured crsditun, 3,0621. ; to those huldieg security, 1,0121 ; liabi lities, 2,7001. The assets were large, estimated at 2,9901., besides 1.1001. of property held as security. The profits had been 6,4331.; losses, 3.1701.; trade expellees, 8731. ; house and penosel ditto, 7,6131. Mr. Taylor, for the assignees, offered no opposition to the bankrupt having an immediate certificate. Mr. Lawrence drew attention to the highly favourable features in the came, and urged that it was one for a first class certificate. llis Honour remarking that the failure was not entirely owing to unavoidable losses, as the bankrupt had omitted insuring one of his vessels, granted a certificate of the second-class. IN SI O. T. LA SElliti. The bankrupt was described as a stock-broker, of Loth bury. This was the last examination meeting ; but the bankrupt had not surrendered, and is supposed to be out of the country. From the investigation that bas hitherto been made of his affairs, his liabilities would appear to be very large, but the amount cannot be accurately ascer tained. There is some small amount of assets. The debts hitherto proved, are not much above 1,000/4 Mr. Dale, for the assignees, applied for an order fur the usual proclamation of outlawry, which was directed to be made. IN RE CONNOP.-ADJEDICATION. An adjudication in bankruptcy was pronounced ■gaint Jacob Connop, of No. 31, New Finchley-road, St. John's wood, described as a bill-broker, commission agent, dealer and Chapman. The bankrupt appeared and surrendered to the adjudication. The petitioning crsditnr is Henry Lindus, gentleman, of Claremont place, Judd-strut, New road. IN RI SWALLOW. The bankrupt, Richard Lancaster Swallow, bad kept the Nine Elms Tavern, Battersea-read. This was the last ex amination meeting. From his accounts, which were pre pared by Mr. Watson, and extended over eight months prior to the failure is Oct. last; it would appear that his diMraltles had arisen from hi having married a wife and a chancery suit. His debts, secured and unsecured, are 2,147/., to meet which he has leasehold property at Batter sea, veined at 3,8841., but against which there is an in junction of the Court of Chancery. His profits had been 1501. ; expenses of various kinds (including law charges and interest), 478/. ' Mr. Chidley, for the assignees, requiring time to islets. tigate an alleged debt of 2001. for money lent, an adjourn ment was ordered fur that purpose. IN 11 NORLOCIL. The bankrupt, Alfred Horlock, was a steam-engine manufacturer, of North Beet, near Gravesend. This was the adjourned last examination meeting. The failure is a considerable one, as disclosed by the leading items in the balance-sheet and aceountawhich have been compiled by Mr. Croysdill. It would appear that, on the 9th Nov., 1850, the bankrupt had a capital of 8,427/., including his pre mises, stock, and machinery ; he had received under his uncle', will, 2,4961. ; and the profits of his trading had been 1,9781. These items were balanced by a very heavy amount of expenditure : the trade charges were 6,3601. (including 1.7261. for coals and coke, and 9431. for interest, discount, and allowances) ; domestic and personal expenses, 9901. ; loss by depreciation of plant and machinery, 3,6311. ; sundry losses, 1,3071.

Thiscase, which has been several times before the court, was beard on an application by a Mr. Cook, the purchaser of the insolvent's surplus interest under his first iasolvency. The debts ware about 40,0001., and the landed property was more than sufficient to pay ell the creditors and leave • surplus. Mr. Cook had purchased the surplus interest, sod had bought up some of the debts inserted in the schedule filed on the first occasion. Mr. Dyson had been discharged under the act a second time, and attributed his appearance to the delay in settling his •Hain. There had been someChan eery proceedings, and the object of the application was to expedite matters, and to get • Battlement of the case, which had in one shape or other in this court and in the Court of Chancery, been dragging its length along for some time. The Chief Commissioner, after devoting nearly two hours to the application, said he only took up the case on account of the illness of the late Chief Commissioner, and it Mr. Commisaioner Murphy would rather that he continued it, he would read over the documents and give directions. He thought there should be a proper investigation, and the matter inquired into, with the view of getting it settled. The matter might stand over for a wesk, and he would give directions to obtain the required information, so as to put it into a way of settlement. The matter stood over for a week.

He constantly complained of a pain in his head. Witness attended him from the beginning of April till the cud of June, at first daily, and afterwards entry other day.

Witntss told him to go to bed Led put out the fire and light. About eleven o'clock he saw a light in the saddle-room, and he went there and found the plaintiff getting up, dressing and preparing to go out.

The plaintiff put his fist up to strike him, and wit ness, who had his left arm in a sling, took up the shovel with his right hand.

(Advertisesisat) FIFTY THOUSAND Mine ymmorr ipmenis by_ve war. ! . 117plitta ARABICIA TODD.— THE POLICE COME. BOW-STREET. Mr. William Carpenter, who was des eribed on the charge sheet as a gentleman, of Park Villas, Stratford-green ; and dir. Frederick Goode, of Arundel House, Percy-grove, Fulham, were charged with creating a disturbance at the Olympic Theatre, and assaulting the officials. It appeared that Mr. Carpenter entered the theatre at about 10 o'clock, end shortly afterwards, on recognising his friend, Mr. Goode, in another box, he saluted him and then left his own seat to join company with the latter. The defendants entered into conversation in an audible voice, much to the annoyance of the ladies and gentlemen who were sitting on the same side of the house. They were repeatedly requested to speak in an under tone ; but Mr. Carpenter manifested such contemptuous indifference to these solicitations, that a general cry of" turn him out" arose in consequence. The annoyance was described by one of the box-keepen (W. Bamford), and by Mr. Tilbury, the comedian, who happened to be one of the audience, and who stated that the disturbance, like all theatrical rows, grew large by degrees—the culminating point, as usual, being attained when Mr. Carpenter displayed the natural repugnance of an Englishman to be "tarred out"—at which time, such was the confusion in the house, that he did not hear a syllable of the trio from Don Pasquale, although he saw it sung upon the stage. It was further proved by Mr. Mitchen, sub-treasurer, and by Autel.ffe, the constable attached to the theatre, that after the first defendant bad been ejected from the house, Mr. Goicle went into the lobby, demsnded the re. admission of his friend or his money, collared the officer, and behaved with such violence that Mr. Mitchen's coat was torn to pieces. Inspector Mackenzie stated that Goode was bailed at the station, but Carpenter, being the worse for drink, was locked-up for the night. The defendants complained of undue interference, in the first place, end undue violence afterwards. They had not seen each other for some time, and consequently the meet log in the theatre was unusually cordial. Carpenter called two constables, F 4 and 31, to prove that he was sober ; but they agreed in stating that he was drunk. Mr. Jardine said the defendants had conducted them selves very disgracefully throughout. If people like them were permitted to go and disturb the enjoyment of others, who went to listen and not to talk, there would very soon be an end of play-going altogether. With respect to Goode he had not even the poor excuse of being drunk. He should fine both of them the full penalty of 51. each, or six weeks' imprisonment. The fines were paid ; and Mr. Mitehen was advised to sue Goods in the County Court, if he did not compensate him for the damage done to his coat. In the course of the afternoon Mr. Jardine, in disposing of some ordinary cab cases, took an opportunity of correcting an erroneous impression that had gone forth in reference to a former decision of his, under the new"Rackney Carriage Act. He observed in the papers of Monday a police report, in which it was stated that he (Mr. Jardine) had decided that a cabman was not entitled to charge for a servant riding on the box outside, and it was made to appear that Mr. Long, the magistrate, differed with him in that opinion. Now it happened that there was not, and could not be, any difference of opinion whatever between him and his brother magistrate upon the point in question. The first act was passed in June last, and it provided that an extra sixpence Awed be paid " when more than two per sons shall be carried inside." In July the case referred to came before him (Mr. Jardine) and he decided that no pro-' vision was made for the extra payment by persons riding outside, although it was open to the cabman to refuse out side passengers if he liked. In August, however, tile act was further amended, and very fairly so, in the cabman's favour ; and from that time no magistrate could have any doubt whatever upon the subject, the cabman being fully entitled to charge sixpence for each person over two, whe ther riding inside or out. Mr. Robert Francis Webb, of Clarence-street, Islington, appeared before Mr. Conic, pursuant to his bail, to answer the charge of having violently vaulted his wife with a red hot poker. At the former examination Mr. Pelham, the solicitor for the wife, suggested that a deed of separation should be drawn up, which was assented to by Mr. Wakeling, the defendant's attorney. Mr. Pelham was not now present, nor Mr. Wakeling, but the former gentleman forwarded • letter (which was not publicly read) to Mr. Corrie. Mr. Comic, after perusing the letter, said the assault was not one of a common nature, and he must inflict some pe nalty. It was necessary to have the wife or her attorney present, and he would adjourn the cam until that day fort night. FROM TER LONDON GAZETTE—Tuesday, Dec.l3 FOREIGN OFFICE, Nov. 2.

COI TON.—Lte encoot., Dec. 13.—The market cles: d wPii sit adincas, and prices underwent no particular va riation. he ester am-tinted to 7,t tld bale., comprising 3,400 Americans, 100 Pamir= and Idarsnliams, 7.1 to 71, and 3,500 Sung 31 to 4j (2,400 on speculation) ; import, 5,000 bales. ----- MANCHESTER, Dec. 13.—Tnere was a feeling that we shoual experience a very gen,ral improvement in this market te-day, but the unfavourable news from the Black Sea, and the consequences indicated as likely to result from it, had a tendency to check operations, which might otherwise have been entered into. The ad vice, from India and Australia have not altogether failed ' in advantoping this market, so far as the class of goods taken for thew are concerned. The impulse as regards the India trade commenced yesterday, when some rather heavy contracts for light eight-pick ahirtiugs and eight-pick jac conets were made, and this has been followed up to-day t y I further orders. Manufacturers on the strength of this hit t provement, have sought an advance of prices, asking Is. 3d. per piece for the cloths which were selling last week at 58. lid., and though an advance to this extent has not been generally secured, it has led to rather better prices in most. cases. These orders have led to a corresponding improvement in the classes of cop yarns used in the fabrics ; manufacturers who have secured contracts for cloth coming rather freely into market this morning to secure the yarns necessary to complete them. These yarns are chiefly 32'8 and 38's ,:and spinners generally of fabrics called home trade goods have been benefited. The trade, however, has not been advantaged to the extent that was expected, owing to the news from the Black Sea, which leads to the anticipa tion that direct hostilities between this country and Russia will take place. For Germany there is no improvement. Fir all parts of the Levant there has been more doing, and in heavy fabrics there is a slight advance demanded and obtained, as almost all the stocks were nearly cleared. In yarns for the same trade there is more doing at old rates ; and in shirting' and printers, though dull, there is a slight movement. Jacconets of all sorts are moving off freely at last rates, and manufacturers are not very willing to extend their contracts at the rates ruling. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LEEDS, DEC. 13.—We have had a very lair market this morning for the advanced period of the year ; a full average quantity of cloth has been sold at firm prices. WOOL—HUDDERSFIELD, DEC.l3.—Good [conditioned wools and sound in staple are most inquired for, the prices of which are •ery firm. In other sorts we have but little doing. MANUFACTURES. HUDDERSFIELD, DEC. 13. Although the year is so near ita close, and a time when trade here iM g . Ily fist, our market today has main tained a tolerable degree of briskness, a good demand still continuing for those descriptions of fancy goods usually brought here, more particularly for the heavier aorta adapted for the present .season. CORR.—MILL, Dec. 13.—The Gazette Returns of wheat sold in the various towns of the United King dom for the week ending the tad of December, were 73,714 quarters; for the corresponding week of last year, 116,791 qrs. ; the ten weeks from harvest (Oct. 2) amount to 631,772 quarters, against 1,086,994 qrs., amount ing to a weekly decrease of 25,722 qrs., or nearly 24 per cent. We do not intrude any impressions these statistics make on our own minds, but simply draw attention to the fact, as not without interest and perhaps significance, in a year when the harvest is so universally reported as at l e ast 25 per cent. below an average. The weather during the past week has been variable, but "hewing marked indica tions of wiuter: the near ports are not yet finally closed, but no import can be made, except at a serious loss, with the present high prices on the other side,) combined with high rates of freight and insurance. The dulness reported in our last circular has gradually dis appeared, and day by day during the put week more tone has been perceptible, with a fair amount of business to con sumers at full prices, and in some instances Is. to 2s. over the rates current last Tuesday. The bulk of the impart is from St. Petersburg ; during the past week a few thousand quarters have changed hands, but the bulk does not come on the market, and some portion is merely for transhipment to France and Belgium. There was a moderate show of wheat from the farmers at this day's market, and which met a good demand at fully 2s. to 3s. over the rates of last Tues day, and very little disposition to sell at this advance ; a fair sale for foreign at full prices, and more disposi tion to go into stock on the part of millers. Very little passing in barley, but fine qualities of malting are Is. dearer. The unsatisfactory condition of the recent arrivals of new beans depressed the market, but as they cannot now be imported within ss. of their present nominal valve, holders arc quietly going to store; rather more in quiry for Egyptian., which, from their extreme dryness, are found useful to mix with damp new English or foreign. In peas few transactions transpire. The oat trade is very quiet. Indian corn and Dan sell slowly in retail, but should wheat advance again, the former article will attract attention. With large arrivals of linseed the market is dull, and in some instances le. lower; the cake market quiet. We hear of no transactions in rapeseed, and only small sales of cake at present prices. Bones meet goo' in quiry at our quotations. Imports from Dec. 3to Dec. 9 —Whest, 10,490 qrs.; barley, 251 ; oats, 1,975 ; beans, 2,021; peas, 101 ; tans, 63 ; linseed, 24,619 ; rapeseed, 46; oil cakes, 141 tons; bones, 658. LEEDS, Dm 13.—Oar arrivals of wheat are very insigni ficant, and new is very scarce ; prices for this description are 3s. to 4s. per quarter above last week's rater, and 2s. per quarter in excess of Friday ; old does not go off so freely, it nevertheless meets sale at improved value. Barley in more request and rather dearer. Oats and shelling bring full prices. Beans are steady. Other articles as before. Arrivals this week :—Wheat, 2,014 ere.; oats, 111 ; barley, 976; beans, 346; peas, 12; shelling, 172; flour, 6; rape seed, 459. Livutroot DEO. 13.—At th is day's market there was a tolerably g ood attendaance of the town and country trade and of millers and dealers from a distance, and an extensive demand was experienced for American white wheat and flour, chiefly for consumption, and a large business done, at an advance of fully 4d. per 70 lbs. and 2s per barrel, 10s. 6d. to 10s. 9d. per 70 lbs. being obtainable for best white American, and 10s. 4d. to 103. 6d. per 70 lbs. for mixed and Canadian wheats, 365. 92. to 375. 3d. per barrel for Western Canal, and 375. 6d. to 37a. 9d. per barrel for Baltimore and Phila delphia flour. Red wheats not having been so much de pressed, cannot be quoted more than 2d. per 70 lb.. d Oats and oatmeal met with a very slow sale, and last Tues day's price could not be exceeded for either article. Bar ley and beans were without alteration in value, and only in limited request. Indian corn wasrather more inquired for, hut remained as last quoted. Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from the 6th to the 12th Dec , inclusive :—Wheat, 9,989 qrs ; barley, 334; malt, 176; oats, 7,986; beans, 1,745; peas, 20; Indian corn, 5,647; oatmeal, 17,627 sacks; flour, 440 SACILP, 3,076 barrels. Exports to Ireland:— Wheat, 2,839 qrs. ; Indian corn, 1,277 ; flour, 6.56 sacks, 1,550 barrels. LYNN, DEC. 13.—A very small supply of wheat, and best samples 21. per qr. dearer. A moderate show of Barley, and Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer. The following are the prices : Wheat, old, red, 55th,. to 601 be., 62.. to 70a. ; best new, 601bs. to 63tbs. ' 725. to 765. ; ditto, 671 M. to !Albs., 6 55. to 70s. Barley, best runs, 531bs. to 54th,., 38s. to 40.. ; extra, 415.; seconds, 521bs. to 531ba., 345. to 365. Beam, old, 651155. to 66Th,., 60s. to 625. ; new, 63Ibs. to 661 h,. ,, 50e. to 641. Peas, 54b. to 56a. per quarter to the grower. Oats, new, 15d. per stone. NEWCASTLE, Oxe. 13.—The weather is exceedingly cold. Thie morning early we bade fall of snow, which about noon tuned to rein, from the temperature however being so low we anticipate an early return of frost. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the grow ers, and having nothing fresh in from the coast, with at the same time only a limited quantity of foreign offering ex ship, the trade opened with great firmness on the part of holders, who had no difficulty in realising an advance of ls. to 2s. per quarter over Saturday's rates, the best new south country red making 775. to 78a., extra, 795. to 80s., whereas choice new ,Kiel red, commanded 7as. ; Wolgast, 795. ; and other ; sorts in proportion. Flour: We experienced more inquiry; favorite marks of households reaching 555. 6d. sad 565., and whites 575. and 595., according to quality. Rye u before. Malting barley sold freely at the turn in favor of the seller, 521bs. to 521.b5. per bushel making 405., and we are now quite prepared to see a portion of the recent heavy decline shortly recovered. Grinding sorts without chants.. In malt rather leas stirring. In beans and peas little variation of moment hu occurred. Old oats had rather more tone but cannot be written dearer, 31s. to 325. being about the value of fine heavy sweet Scotch, weighing 4211”. to 431bs. per bushel. Smatinvitv, Dne. 13.—At our market to-day we were extensively supplied with all kinds of grain, and there being a heavy demand, the wheat trade ruled brisk ; but we have no alteration to note in the prices of last market. The barley trade was also animated, and there wee an upward tendency of about Is. per qr. in advance of the prices gene- rally obtained last week. In oats, beans, and peas, the transactions were limited, without alteration in value. Wheat averages 775. 21d. ; barley, 341..3d. ; oats, 265. 9id. ; beans, 495. ; peas, 725. per qr. CATTLB.—B•LteIiVitY, Dxc. 13.—Our great Christmas cattle market was held to-day, when there was an excellent supply of beasts, though not so many as last year. The quality was very excellent, but the animals did not show that super-abundance of fat which we have noticed fur many years put. They were, however, of a very useful character; and the droves of oxen exhibited by 141 Milton, Bond, and Crew, elicited particular notice. There was a very full attendance of buyer'', but, not withstanding, during the early part of the day the trade ruled somewhat dull, higher prices being asked than the butchers felt deposed to pay, but towards the afternoon dealers slightly gave way, and business assumed mere acti vity, though a large number of inferior animals were driven away unsold. The supply of sheep did not reach the num ber of last year, but the general quality was very superior. The trade was anything but brisk, though nearly the whole changed hands. Higher prices were realised than last 'market. V-- little ' THE WEATHER TABLE. WEDNESDAY, DECEMItER 14, 1853.
