This was a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer Chanther. It was an fiCtia.ll on the case brought by the now plaintiff against the now defentants. The utels eaten stated that the plaintiff was the proprietor and occupier of a certain mill, forge, and works, called Elvrell'e Forge, in the perish of Wedne sbury, Staf fordshire. That, by remorse of the erecting, making, and wino by the defendants of certain water engines and other w o rks, under the provisions of the act 5 Will. IV. e. 31, an d the acts therein I...leered to, he had sus tented and continutel to sustain suet would ...stain great injury and autistic on his said mill forge. A writ of man damus was directed P. the de I:nebula to ivioie a warrant to the sheriff commanding hint to impanel, summon, and re turn a jury according to the provisions of the act. The detendauts refused to obey the writ and rturned tied the plaintiff had not sustained damage. 'I he declaration then alleged that by resets, of such refuse! to obey the writ and lase return, the plaintiff had sustesiued damage in losing los compensation under the act., and incurred remorse., in proeecutiug the said minima"' to the plaintiff'. damage of 10,1114.0. The defendants jelseded not guilty, and seeondey that by teason of the erecting, mak ing, or using by the defendants of the said water engines. and other works in the declaration mentioned, the plaintiff Intel nut sustained, did not sustain, nor would sustain any injury or damage in his said mill forge and works, in re• sect *whereof the defendants ought to make compensation sir satisfaction. Upon the •rial of the cause a verdict was found by consent for the plaintiff subject to a special Cane to be stated by an arbitrator. who was to state any question of law or evidence for the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench, with liberty to either party to turn sue le special case into a special lerdirt, such MMe and verdict being subject to the control of the arbitrator. By a special re riiet the pity found that the plaintiff was the proprietor of the forge situated upon and partly worked by the water of the river Tame ; that the defendants were a body corporate under the statute named, and owners and proprietors of certain linen of cared called the Birminehan Canal Navigation, particularly of three several lines or levels proceeding at different elevations from different points towards Birming ham, the highest of which is called the " Wolverhampton level," the middle the " Birmingham level," and the lowest the " Waluell level," all passing across the valley of the Tame above Elwell'a forge and between lelwell's forge and the principal mime or sources from which the water of the Tome was supplied. The Wnlverhammon or upper level was most remote from and the Walton or lower level thee nearest to Elwell's forge. Upon the bank of the lower or Walsall level nearest to Elwell'. forge, certain flood-weir. were made, supported, and maintained in pursuance of the provuens for that purpose in 5 Will. IV., e. 34, s. b 6. The water flowed over the flood writs whenever it rose in the level above the level of the weirs, and thee ran into the Tame above Elwell's forge. The three levels were cuunecteel by a series of locks, through which boats were cuiedantly passing ; in consequence of which large quantities of aster from time to time flowed from the upper and middle into the lower level. Connected with tae Weer level at a place called (Mier-bill were four steam engines, the property of the defendants, used by them in pumping water out of the lower into the upper level for the purpose of supplying or retaining in the several levels a sufficient quantity of water to resider the levels navigable. rut of the water which flowed from the upper threugh the middle intq the lower level on the pacsing of boats through the said locks was pumped back spin into the upper level by means of the engines; and in consequence thereof, the water in the lower level (except in occasional times of ilued) war generally preveated from flowing over the weir. and running into the Tame above Elwell's forge, as it otherwise would have stone, and t he plaintiff was thereby deprived of the benefit he would otherwise have derived from the water so flowing over the weirs. The kith section of the act upon which the plantiff relies em powers the defeuelants to raise the water from one level to another, and fur that purpose amongst others, to use such engines or other machinery as they shall from time to time judge proper, making full satisfaction fur all damages to be misteined by the owner or occupier., or other persons inte rested in any mills, forget, &c. The special verdict then set est section lid (which wax the clause mainly relied upon by the defendants in the court below), which provides that the de fondants should, at their own costs and charge., support and maintain certain flood weirs of a certain height end widtl., and upon certain specified parts of the said WWI. so that all the waste and superfluous water arising Gem or running into the lower level nut required for the wpm. of the act, should be turned and conveyed into the river Tame, in certain specified courses and directions, at *Keith d points, higher up the stream than Elwell's The plaintiff gave three notices of damage and raimfor compensation under eection 32. The first was on Mil July, let 8, the second on 22nd January, 1839; and the hat on 20th April, 1839. In the last of those notices be claimed compensation to the amount of 4,000 e. for damage sustained, and 10,0001. fur damago to be sustained by him, by the user of the said water engines. The special verdict then enumerated several eifferent sources of water from which the canals had been sup•lied. The damage' were by consent, moused at a nominal sum of 10,11001. to be ascertained by the arbitrator, in ease the plaintiff should be held entitled to judgment. Judgment harem been entered up fur the defendant.; in the Queen). Bench upon this special verdict, the plaintiff afterwards sued out e w rit of error in the Exchequer Chenille r. That court on the sth of February, 1850, affirmed the judgment below, on the ground that the 86th section of the act showed that thee plaintiff bad no right to have any water re quired for the purpose of the act flow over the weirs in that section mentioned ; that the water fur the lois of which he sought compensation was water tequired for the purposes of the act ; and therefore the pumping of it up and net preventing it from flowing over the weirs was not an injury or damage within the meaning of section 16, and the plaiutiff was not entitled to compensation under that election. The Soliciter-General and Mr. Denman were for the plaintiff in error ; Mr. Whateley and Mr. Phipsou for the defendants. The house now gave judgment, affirming that of the Court of Exchequer Chamber.

Two litiared Wiens lead also been reserved fur the prove eional committee, and the dividend was paid also upon these shares, although uo deposit. had been paid upon them. The hill prayed that certain members of the provisional com mittee or the Seer. troy Harman might he ordered to repay with interest the said ewe of 1,5001., and the dirideed on the 200 shares, and all Alice moneys belonging to the cum pony, which had been retained by !farms n, and that all net. wary accounts might be When, and that the defendants might woke bond all hoses arising from the breaches of trust committed. The bill had been filed in Deecalber, 181 e, and alter the answers were out in an order was ob tained under the wording-up acts, and an official manager appointed, who by an order obtained in July, 1849, ob tained leave to prosecute die suit. Two gut:talons inde pendent of the me rite of the cue had been raised, first, wheedler the or gine' plaintiff could have maintained this suit and, e. (emelt'', what was the effect of the order under the winding-up set? It appeared flat the plaintiff had de posited hie scrip with a mortgagee to secure a sum of money, and when the dividend of a guinea was paid, the mortgagee sent in the original certificates and 1 , - ceived new onee, and again when the half-crown wee. paid, these new certificates were again sent in, and he Piped a memorandum, the slice. of which was, that in consideration of such payments, the shareholder released the provisional directors from any further Bahl ity. There was therefore a new contrast entmil int.., and the bill did not seek to act osier that eon- tract, but preeeedeel on the ground of the pluintitrs right receive a further sum.

Act. (His Honour nod the section.) It we, Waisted by the defendant that the present case did not come within that section at all. He did nut give any opinion upon that, because be thought if it did the oltnivl manager must stand in the place of tho original plaintiff. It was the original suit which he was ordered to prosecute, and to put any other construction upon the section would in many cases I. ad to great haidship, Independent uf the merits of the case, he thought, therefore, the bill could not be main tained; but the case was one so deeply affecting the cbs. ravers of the defendants that be had considered it his duty to look into the merits. The defendants, Brodie, Harrison, and Harmon, were charged with issuing spurious certifi cates for the purpose of eidaiiiing the dividend upon them ; and the other defendants were charged with negligence in paying upon them. It appeared that the cenificates were bound up in books, and that some of the directors signed the eertificates before they were issued, and put their ini tials to the counterfeit. ; that as the signing took a great length of time, the books were sometimes taken home by tl e dirt 'tons ; that book 39, from which .01 the spurio a cer tihtsates had been taken, had been in the hands of Brodie ; that Hannan became secretary in Ifiti, and that the cer tificates had never been countersigned by the previous secres tary, NA had never been returind to the office. The bill then charged a series of contrivances, by which it way alleged the fraud had been tarp, trated. His Honour went through these statements, soil said that if the case had had to be decided on the merits, ho thought the plaintiff must have failed ; that taking Brodie's case, which was the strongest, there was nothing in the evidence to fie him with the fraud. Under such circumstances, the bill must be dismissed with costs. lie observed that it was originally tiled by the person who had Men the solicitor of the com pany, and after reading through the whole of the papers more than once, he could not doubt that it had its origin in other motives than the good of the shaieholders.

The first of these was a petition by the Attorney-General, complain ing that some of the monies of the charity gieen to the recipients of it had been taken from them under undue in , Susnce from the trustees, and bail been applied to pay these costs ; the prayer of the petition was that these sums might be made good to the charity by the trustees, and that they might pay the costs of the petition. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Jamcs appeared fur the Attorney- General in support of the petition.

In the male prisoner's hill were three sovereigns in a puny, and one lying tome at the bottom of the box, and a bank book of the London Pro vident Institution, Dla,mH, Id-street, blonrfields, in which hail been Om d' 01. on the tith of May. Previous to this deposit, which was a sole one, Mrs. Kemp had missed a lilt. and a 3/. note, nail there is very little doubt that this deposit won the property. There were also three cut-glass salneellars, toilet covers, chair covers, expensive knives and Aoki., satin visites, a new Cashmere shawl, dress cap, three bonnets, and hat and feather for a child, as also other articles of lint ry, much above her position.

Mr. Charitock, jun., solicitor, who appeared for the pri soners, applied for the bank bock and five, sovereigns, taken from their house, to he given up to them. Mr. Penryhn refused the giving of the hank book, but allowec for their defence. Committed for trial at the Ouildfonl sessions. MARKETS. COTTON.—Livgaeoun,J vas 26.—The sales of cotton to-iloy are estiman d at 6,titro biers, of which exporters have taken 1,000 and speculators 1,400 huh 4. They include 150 Persian% and Marauliam, at 61d. to 7:d. ; 300 Egyptian, at 7tl. to Ild.; 500 Surat, at 31d. to and 100 See Islands, at 15a1. to 191 d. The imports since Thursday are 10,000 bales, the market closing Steadily, and prices of all kinds remaining unchanged. MANCHESTER, JUNE 26.—We have had a quiet but steady market for cotton yarns and cloth. The news by the steamer which arrived from America on Wednesday that the growing cotton crop had been injured by storms and Wools has had the t Ifcct of giving more firmness to the Liverpool market, but these are looked upon here as fictions, and have been disregarded. Spinners have gene rally supplied themselves during the recent heavy purehas leg at Liverpool with good stocks, and are more independ ent fur the present of the fluctuations brought about in the market by pinta causes. Hence prices aro almost without change since list week. In 305. to Stfs mule twist Hirt* are perhaps rather easier, and spinners not under contract meet the market freely at the rates offered in the t ad, part if the week : but toe great extent the producers of the flue r yarns arc well eimpaci:. The India houses are bay ing sparingly, and so are the German, but the Lome trade are liberal purchasers, and some fair orders are in hand fur Ituspia. In cloths there is still a good demand for printers, which fully takes off the production. In aiirt logs, domestics, long cloths, and T cloths, there is no change. WOOLLEN CLOTH. —LEE us,J vNE 26 —We have had • fair averag market to-day ; and during the wet k there have been several good &Merits direct at the warehouses. There has been a good business done in the warehouses. ,Several of the principal buyers hare been in town during the week and purchased freely. LINEN, &c.-13Ereasr, June 2.1.—1 n grey cloths there is a good demand in all the country markets, the goods ',re fine. d being bought up at the advance realised a fortnight since. In 4.1 linens there is a good deal doing, and Itrge quantities are bought up for the States autumn trade. In drills and lawns, tor printing, there eums to be a fair pay ing trade going on There is an improving demand in bleached goods at present, and the tendency of pricei is up wards, stocks being moderate. Our Ballymena report is as follows . Our market on Saturday last was well attended with buyers, and goods of all descrip tions were well bought up, at an advance of id to id. on several sets. Yarns having generally advanced lid. per bundle, manufacturers held firmly, and in gene nil they succeeded in getting a (Alight advance. Fine goods for bleaching, still go off freely at paying prices. For 3 I widths there is also an improved demand, and coarse goods of the various widths are more sought after. Y.,rno, This week trade has been brisk, and there is a fair demand gra dually rising up, which, with the very general adoption of short time, makes stocks move off, and, with manufacturers busy, we anticipate a progressive improvement. The pre sent value of 5.1 to 80 lea welts, of the ordinary PIRIIIiCY of Belfast spinning, is 3s. Gd. to 3s. 71d. per bundle. Inferior yarns aro quoted 3s. 40.—Banner qf Ulster. llARDWARE.—BilooNntraat, Jive 26.—There has not been any material change in the condition of trade since our last report; a few orders received by the factors have give, a partial impe , ux to some branches, but generally there is a still ag- ad dodo( depression. Mention was mote last week of the lamp trade, wnich has for a long time past been exceedingly dull, although for the last eight or ten years it has been one of the most fiourishieg, and also one of the most profitable of our trades ; in ne branch has there been more improvements introduced into the manufacture, and the trade, both home and foreign, has increased in pro portion ; from America especially, the orders have always been large until within the last three or four months, when they sea said to have considerably fallen off; this is attribu table perhaps in some respects to the fact of rival manufac turing establishments having sprung up at Philadelphia; and in consequence of the high tariff which the tiaited States government finds it convenient to keep up, :oupled with the charges for freicht. insurance, tic., our manufacturers promise to he to some extent beaten out of that market. The Americans are quid to have commenced this comnetition in no very honest ur creditable way; the manufacturers here incur a very heavy outlay, consequent on the employment of modeller. fur the production of new designs, and with true Americo honesty, those coneernA in the lump manufacture in that quarter have not scruphd to come over here, purchase these new designs, and lend these over as patterns to the manufactory at Philadelphi where, a:omegas:it on this gluey, they ear, of sour e, lie produced at a much kwer figure that: by the man wlei has spent his money in the production of the new mode I. This matter is said to have tilled the lamp makers here with some anxiety ; we ineline to the o, inion, however, that the affair has been regarded as of more importence than it really merits, for with new markets daily opening, especially in our own calonies, the enterprising English manufacturer eon afford to laugh at petty piracies and hostile tariff's. At the preliminary meeting of the ironmaaters held yester day at the Stew matey, it was resolved that for the preeent no advance should be made on existing prices; all the large hems of the district were represented on this mea-ion, and some surprise has been expressed that an advance was not resolved upon; the ironmaeters themselves are, however, certainly the best judges of what the trade will hear, and from all the information within our reach we are strongly of opinion that they have taken • most prudential course ; for it is extremely doubtful whether any edvanee c o ld have been maintained at preeent ; there would inrsittbly have been a eery large number of undersellers—alwass a mischievous thing—and a cheek would as assuredly have been given to the foreign orders which are daily coming in, and es tend!) , from America. Present trine prices are well maintained ; there is little if any underselling, and at all the works they arc full of orders—some of them are refusing to accept others at present, and the aggregate weekly pro duce is enormous. Of pig iron the stocks are small, and the demand is increasing. The trailers of Cradley arc said to be meditating another strike; they have a long catalogue of grievances, and it is to he feared these are anything het imaginary. Trade strikes, •1 nays fraught with it.e.deulehle mischief, con never he too strongly condemned : hut in this case the poor men appear to he Fronded to folly by the mas ters themselves, who persist in forcing on them the infamous truck system, which deprives them of a third of their hard earnings. There are other matters of dispute, with little apparent disposbion on the part of the masters to accommo date them, so that at present • general strike seems in. evitable. The poor nailer.. are perhaps the mist suffering class of men to be found in the district of South Stafford shire. CORN.—Bosrox, June 26.—Our supplies of Wheat during the wet k have born only limited, and, the weather being unsettled, the farmers were firm in demanding a slight advance; consequently but little business has been done. To.uay scarcely a sample has changed hand:. In spring corn we have nothing offering. Wheat, red, 311, to 415.; white, 451. to 40s. per qr.

At our market this day the attendance wee small, and show of English Wheat moderate; the weather being fine, prices remained without alteration, either for English or foreign wheat, and the amount of business done was very unimportant. Barley, for grinding, met a brisk demand, at rather more money. Only one par- eel of foreign Beans being held, holders demand a further advance, the sales made being for immediate consumption. The Oat trade is in a lifeless state, though prices remain nominally unchanged. Imports of the week ending Jane 26: Wheat, 2,412 qrs.; Barley, 514; Oat., 2,410 ; Beans, 274.

In orbs or oatmeal no change has occurred. The isnpurts of wheat, flour, and Indian corn from abroad, in which are included the first arrivals of Canadian produce fur the season, are again un a liberal WSW ; but from all other sources the supplies are very light. At our market this nwrniug there wa" only a moderate amount of business passing, and no change can be noted in the value of any article. _ . --• NENTASTLF.•I3.uniTVNE, June 2G. A pretty fair show of Wheat from the growers, but, the couditiun having , unfired by the weather, fresh thrashed samples scarcely SOW so freely as last week. and in their vision no quotable change can be repotted.

Rye without alteration and in moderate request. Orinding Barley found more enquiry and may be written the turn dearer, fine sweet Pomeranian having commanded 275. Gal. per qr., weighed 54i lbs. per bushel. Malt scarcely sold so well. Beam and Peu were held with coicnlerablo firmness, bat 3ds. could not be exceeded for the latter article.

Nonwiert, June 26.--The past week has been, with the exception of partial heavy showers very hue and cong,nial for the growing cror, and both Wheat and Barley are looking remarkably line and lical.liy. At our market this day there was a good show of Wheat by the farmers, in fair condition and quality.

Oats continue without alteration, but Barley is more difficult to buy, as arc also Beans and Peas ; in the latter not a sim ple to he seen. WISBECII, June 26.—The supply of Wheat to-day is fair for the time of year. The weather is much improved the last few days, but a return of rain this morning in duced oar farmers to ask higher priers, but towards the elo-e they settled down, and these was a good deal of busi ness done at fully lust week's recs. But Sew Oats and Deans, and each quite as dear. WORCF:tiTER, June 26.—At this day's market, although the sups ly of English Wheat was short, and there are re ports of injury to tile growing crop, no advanced could be obtained on the corrency of this day se'nnight.

We have nut any arrivals of consequence to report from abroad. The receipts of home grain are very small. In prime foreign Wheat we have a very extensive business passing, and the trade is firm with somewhat of an upward tendency. Fur Egyptian we experience a fair demand, and the article may be quoted fully 6d. per barrel dearer. In Oats we have literally nothing doing. A goad demand exists for fine Flour, in which a large consumptive demand is passing, at late prices. Coarse Flours continue to find ready purchasers. We have only a moderate trade in Indian Corn ; still, stocks of the article being now in few hands, holders demand an advance of 2s. lid. per ton over the prices of last week. We may quote the value of (lalate 81. per ton. WATEIMOUD, June 26. —A continuance of wet weather throughout tee week has imparted a firmer feeling to our market; and, with the exception of Oats, which have slightly receded in consequence of the dull accounts from London, p rises of all articles have been well maintained. Foreign Vheat, of good quality, has hien purchased freely by our millers, at the extreme rates of this day se'nnight ; and, us the stocks of this description are becoming very small, leader,' are disposed to look for more money. In prepared Irish we have not heard of any transactions. There has been a fair quantity of Oats offering from the interior ; and we note inferior sampler cheaper by 3d. per barrel ; choice parcels can Mildly be bought on easier terms. Indian Corn : The import consists principally of Egyptian, in eel) , had order, which sells slowly for cattle feeding.
