LITERAT 11118. A 1 - , ent.se on 'lir Propagation of &Onion and Warr VA. Knwann and TIIJIIAS AbHWOltill. Stockport: E• 11 King. London . Sospitin sod Marshall. The rixty-eight pages that nuke up this little book should at once obtain the widest attention, for they show how one class of really delicious food may be indefinitely increased. Under an alarm of rising prices and a deficient supply of food, there are two things to be done—to provide for the incoming of the largest obtainable quantity of grain from abroad, and to economise and improve our resources at home. Our free-trade policy - largely aids us in doing the first of these two things. As to the other, we have almost everything to learn. The case being so, any premonition of a deficiency of food should not alarm so much as animate us--stir us up to see what can be done to make our resources answer for the satisfaction of every appetite in the kingdom. At the present time this is no merely curious 'peculation to amuse a thoughtful hour, but 'matter of seri owl and practical interest and importance. Experienced farmers assure us that such a deficiency of wheat has never been known since 1816. We are likely to require, before next harvest, double the quantity of wheat we have ever imported; and the area from which we have hitherto drawn is at the same time singularly restricted. Oars are a scanty crop, and now very dear; and so are hay and straw —our era ill supply being thus affected. Turnips are in some places nearly twice the usual price ; and in Ireland the potato crop has turned out worse than was expr cted, the lees varying on different soils from a fourth to half the crop. The farmers have taken the hint afforded by these failures, and they are doing and will do all they can to give us a good harvest next year. Every hour of the fine weather of the last three weeks has been used for sowing, and the gnantity of seed got into the ground is perhaps beyond all precedent. It is understood that *great quantity of grass land has been, and that more will be, turned up for tillage. If so, there must be an extension of stall-feeding of cattle. It will be expensive—so dear as roots, hay, and straw will be this winter; but there will be a demand for butcher's meat by-and-bye which will repay the cost. One consequence, we may hope, will be, that economy of food will be introduced into the farm-yard, as we would fain see it into the cottage and the kitchen. Considerable progress has been made in the know ledge and practice of cattle-feeding with steamed food, but there are still multitudes of farms where wheat chaff is made manure of by throwing it upon the dung-heap, instead of the better and cheaper method of putting it through the living machine of the animal. A stone of chaff, boiled with oilcake, makes a capital portion of a meal for cattle ; and many substances become nutritious by cooking, which would not otherwise be eaten. The same is the case, as we have taken occasion to say before, with human food. If the housewives of England knew the virtues of steam and of boiling water, the general body of the working men of England—of those who, in all ranks, work with bead or hands—would be stronger and healthier than they are, from being more generously fed, while the con sumption of the materials of food would be remarka bly reduced. It is really much to be wished, that, before the pressure becomes serious, something could be done to instruct our wives, sisters, servants, and neighbours, in the principles and art of plain cookery. The object now is not, as in former times of scarcity, to discover how people may be kept alive at the smallest possible cost. It may come to that: hut we hope sot. The object rather is to make our resources go as far as possible, so that everybody may be sufficiently fed. We do not want potato bread, and unpalatable messes swallowed as a condi tion of living; but rather that three persons should be agreeably and abundantly fed from materials which, under our English awkwardness in cookery, feed only two persons much less pleasantly. No doubt there will be large importations of rice and Indian meal. There is • method of cooking these two articles together, and stamaing them, which provides the cheapest known food, of a really palatable sort, in England —u the Bradford men can tell who were supported by it in the famine time. Under less pressure, the same materials, and large quantities of bona, broths and vegetables, and even meat, now wasted, would go a great way towards repairing the deficiencies of the last harvest. When the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland sent agricul tural missionaries abroad through the island, to in struct the people in growing other produce than potatoes, he d'.d vast good. The benefits of that act are extending and increasing at this day. We would fain see another order of missionaries sent out in England, as well as Ireland—popular lecturers, with each • portable kitchen, to exhibit the principles and practice of cookery. The women of England would crowd to hear them; and from that day forward, the chances of famine is our country would be remark ably reduced. A very important resource remains to us in our fish. If this consideration is new to anybody, it is certainly not so to the royal family. When they visited the Dublin Exhibition, their attention was fixed by what they saw in the fisheries department, and Prince Albert requested that he might be sup plied with whatever documents the commissioners could scud him which could throw light on the art of propagating and preserving fish. The Ashworths, whose name is so well known in connexion with various benevolent social aims, have purchased a fishery in Galway, and instituted a set of remark able experiments in regard to the production and rearing of fish; and it was the set of models from their works that interested the Queen and Prince so deeply. It is now completely proved that, at a very trifling expense, an unlimited supply of fish can be secured—as has been known in France for a long time past. In Ireland, the experiment has been made, we believe, with salmon alone. In France, the plan succeeds with carp, tench, and a variety of other river fish, as well as with salmon. Now, the end of December is the sea son when the spawn and milt of the salmon should be obtained; and here is time, before that, for the very simple and cheap preparations for an infant salmon preserve to be made, without losing another year. There must be plenty of people living on the banks of our rivers who have enterprise enough to make an attempt so cheap, so easy, and so sure of success, if managed with the ordinary care that we bestow on our daily business. It would be no small resource to have in view—that of any number of millions we please of all the fish that inhabit oar rivers. If to this we add all that may be obtained from the sea by applying the commonest sense and skill in the catching of them, we see that it will be our own fault if anybody starves for gent rations to come. If we were wise we should be be yond the reach of any fatal injury from unfavourable seasons, or from fluctuations in the relations of any foreign powers. If such food as we have always at command were duly economised, equally distributed, so that none should cram while others hungered, and increased as, in the case of fish, it might be by a due observance of natural laws, the first and greatest of human liabilities and social calamities might be avoided, and human existence indefinitely elevated and ameliorated. It is pest imagining Kist social life would become if every member of the community were secure of a sufficient permanent supply of food. What the evils of insecurity are we mar now con ceive by observing the anxiety that is at this moment hanging over every country in Europe as to how its people are to be fed next year. So far as the supplies of salmon and other fish for human food are concerned, let everybody read this Treatise on Fish Culture by Edmund and Thomas Ashton. This is the season for the study of the book, and for putting into practice the important lesson it suggests. THE CHOLERA. • - !From the General Boar of Health, Nor. 23.).

It appeared from the evidence of three witnesses, who had been employed for the purples by the plaintiff (who was stated to ne an attorney) to visit the establishment in ques tion, that on the 29th of August last they had gone to " Beene's," sad had visited the supper rooms down stain. They there found tables laid for Nippon and other refresh ments, at which a great number of gentlemen were seated, eating, drinking, and smoking cigars.

Evidence was then given of the fact that the defendant was the proprietor of the establishment, and that he had not any dancing or music license granted to him for the premises. Mr. Bramwell, for the defendant, contended that the only question for the Jury in this case, was were the premises kept only, or at all for the purpoessof music and singing, instead of for the ordinary porpoise of a tavern or hotel. He sub mined that the room was kept, in reality, ter the ordinary purposes of • tavern or hotel, and, therefore, although music :and singing were introduced as subsidiaries, that the ease was not brought within the meaning and intent of the 25 Geo. 2nd, e. 38, 860.2. In order that the case should fall within that statute it was necessary that the plaintiff should prove that the room was kept for mono and singing, and not for the ordinary purposes of a tonna or hotel. This proof had not been produced, and he therefore sub mined that the defendant was entitled to • verdict. Mr. Baron Platt having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant, gilding that the room was kept for the ordinary purposes of a Mid or tavern.

Mr. Torre produced a certificate from the Horse Guards, to the effect that the prisoner had borne • good character for the seven years he had been in the army. He mentioned that the inhabitants of the neighbourhood entertained so good an opinion of him that some of them had drawn up a memorial, showing doubts se to the correctness of the verdict against him. No one appeared to substantiate an assertion made at the trial, that ha had been before convicted, and had been guilty of similar offences. The Assistant-Judge said he should treat this as a first offence, and as the prisoner had been already in prison seven weeks, be should sentence him to be kept to hard labour for one month further. James Maeliell was indicted for a nuisance at New Brant ford. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the defendant, and stated that he would plead guilty, and was willing to enter into a recognisance to come up for judgment when called upon. Whatever the court thought he ought to do with !event to the nuisance complained of, would be done willitgly by the defendant. Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the prosecution, which was instituted by the local authorities, stated the grout& of their having taken these proceedings. The defendant was a butcher, and had occupied premises in New Brentbrd for four or five years, an i in the yard connected therewith, he kept furry or fifty pigs, which were fed on the offal of his trade.

George rhilpots was charged before Sir R. W. Carden, for having feloniously and maliciously incited his brother Henry William Philpots, aged 14 years, to steal, and for having received the property, well knowing that it had been stolen. _ .__ Henry &torsions, 'a poulterer, at" No. 3, Heneage-lane, said, on Thursday night last, at a quarter put five, a lad named Levy came to my shop and offered some bits and curbs for sale. He asked 6.., and offered to take 3s. for them. I asked when he got them. He said from a lad at the Eagle Coffes.house in Houneditch. I they, told him to fetch the lad. He did not do so, and I informed the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody. The ea , planation of the prisoner was, that he had bought the bits sad curbs, and that knowing we had hones he sent them to us for sale. - — . Benjamin Levy Laid, I was in Gravel-lane, at three or four o clock, and the prisoner came to me and showed me the article., and asked me to sell them for him. I took them to Mr. Solomon, who after speaking to me upon the subject communicated with the police. Policeman 55 said, he took:the prisoner into custody upon Mr. Solomon,' representation. The prisoner said be bought the articles for 2a., from • young man in Devonshire-street, of whose name and address he was ignorant. Mr. orww Woods, saddler end freausuager, at Camas street, Pinsry, said, a little boy . named !Henry William Philpots, brother of the prisoner, is in my employment as errand bey. I have seen the prisoner at the door, but inside. The bits and curbs exhibited are, I believe, my property. They correspond with the goods I have in stock, and their value is about 6s. or 7s. Henry William Philpota—l am the brother of the prisoner, and was 14 last Thursday I live with my father and mother and I work at Mr. Woods' where I have been five or six months. The prisoner lives at home. He is not in work now. On Wednesday 'horsing last he asked me whether I could get anything for him. I told him "no " at first, and he said " Caa't you get any of those chains that go round the horses' throats ? I said I did sot know. He •ad, " I dare say you can." He had asked me two or throe times before, a good bit ago, bat I did not take an ; and on thiThuraday morning,before I went to work. he said " Will you try and get me something ? " and I said I would see; and I took two chains from • parcel in my master's shop, and gave them to hint at breakfast time, and he then asked me if I could not get him tome more. I said I did not know, but I would see, and he said, do if you can, and you shall have a part of what I get for them, and when I went back to the shop I took three bits and three curbs, and gave them to him at dinner time, and he said he was very thankful. He swore at me a go od time ago, and said, why don't you get something ?" I said I was afraid. He said, " oh, stuff and nonsense." I said, a pretty thing I should bring my mother to if I was taken up. And he I said, "oh, no, I should not be taken up, and he could sell them at any tme." He very often saki I wit, • d—d young vagabond for not taking them. I'll do so any more. He asked me if I could not get him sous silver things, and if there were not some silver handled whips I could take and put down my trowsers' legs ; bat I did not do it. I wanted to tell my mother ever so many times, but I was afraid. The bits and curbs produced by the oHcer are the same I took. At the conclusion of this evidence the poor boy clapped his hands together, and with tears gushing from his eyes, implored the magistrate to forgive hies. Sir Robert W. Carden—l have not the least doubt of the truth of what you have stated, and I feel great compassion for you. I trust, too, that your master will forgive you. Mr. Woods-- I certainly do forgive him, an d I wiU take him again into my service. Hitherto I have been perfectly satisfied with his services, and have had no cause until this bad event occurred to suspect him in the slightest degree. I believe he was induced to commit this act of dishonesty entirely by the influence and at the instigation of his brother. Bir R. W. Carden—This is a truly distressing and melan choly ease. 1: is very dreadful to se* an elder brother, in order to be enabled to live in idleness, tempt and threaten his brother, who is so much younger, into the oommiaeion of robbery. lam under the pinta necessity, from my sense of duty to the public, of sending the prisoner for trial for this most serious offenoe. The brother of the prisoner, upon hearing the intention of the alderman, begged in the most tender and expressive language Viet the same forgiveness which had been granted to him might be extended to the culprit at the bar ; but Sir R. W. Carden said, that all through the conduct of the pri soner ens a single estentatina cirepentaneg had occurred upon which any otber course than ant he had determined upon could be justified. The prisoner, upon being naked whether he had any ob servations to m ake, said " No," and was then committed for trial. GUILDHALL. Was. Cruse, a book collector in the employ of Messrs. thespian and Marshall of Stationen'-halkoart, was charged with embezzling 41. 10s. and other stuns, the sunny, of his employers, and was committed for trial upon two charges. BOW-STREET. Several eases of assault, lioeket-picking, sad accident during the intense fog of Tuesday night, were brought under the onteiderstion of Mr. Henry, the presiding magis trate. Ia one ease the driver of a van belonging to the Oreat Western Railway Company wu charged with having cussed the death ofa young woman named Elizabeth Trow, who was erasing Pssarle-street, Lincoln's-Inn-fields, at about 6 o'clock, when she either slipped or was knocked down, and wu instantly unshed to death, one of the wheels of the van having passed OM her head. It was proved, however, that the driver wu proceeding very slowly at the time, and Mr. Henry, in discharging him from castody, stated that he was wholly free from blame. _ _ Mr. Collard, the pollee superintendent of the Great Western Railway, attended to watch the ease, and ',ser ialised that the dimmed, although 'a married woman, had left no family ; and her brother stated that she had b een • loag time separated from her :husband by mutual consent. Mr. Collard undertook, on behalf of the company, to defray the ezpensm of the f I. Goorqe Yeales, described as a clerk in the City, was charged with putting a lighted torch in the face of Mr. W. Smith, the engineer, of Salisbury-street, Adelphi, and burning his hat and whisker', during the fog of the previ ous night. . Mr. Smith stated his complaint, and was entirely corro borated by a gentleman who happened to be walking be hind him, in Flest-street, and who saw the defendant throw his burning torch into the faces of five or six respectable people, greatly to their discomfiture and alarm. He ap peared to be somewhat intoxicated. A brother of the defendant, who said be was the seers tan, of a railway company, stated that be was on the spot, and believed the occurrence was purely accidental. He bad certainly been a little merry, bat he did not inten ,tionally burn the complainant's face. The defendant also stated that he wu only having a bit of fun; and was very sorry. Mr. Henry considered it a very discreditable sort of amusement. and ordered the defendant to pay a penalty of 51., or two months' imprisonment. Edward Sounders, • pedlar, was charged with having in his possession a quantity of manufactured tobacco which bad not paid duty. The prisoner was apprehended oa Westminster-bridge by the Inspector of the Thames Police and an Hulse officer, with 19lbs. of the tobacco in his possession. The defendant, who said he was merely holding it for somebody whom he did not know, while he had gone over the bridge, was fined 100/., and committed for six months in default. WORSHIP-STREET. A portly, wall-droned man, named IVm. Smith, was charged with being concerned with two or three others, not in custody, inatealing seven half-sovereigns from Mr. J. Ruddy, proprietor of the Railway Coffee-house, Cambridge Heath-road. The prosecutor stated that between four and five o'clock on the afternoon of the 2nd inst. the prisoner called at his house, and having introduced himself as a dealer in tobacco, who had been in the habit of supplying cigars to the per sons whom witness had succeeded in the business, solicited his custom. Witness was ultimately induced to give him an order for a small box of cigars, and at the earnest invi tation of the prisoner, be accompanied him afterwards to an adjoining public-house to partake of some brandy and water. While they were drinking in front of the bar they were suddenly accosted by three other men, apparently en tire strangers to his companion, who invited them into the yard to witness one of them throw a missile of 201bs. weight • distance of twenty-five yards to decide a bet of 201. Finding, however, that the yard was not sufficiently large to admit of the performance, the party repaired to the skittle-ground of another public house, called the Vicar of Wakefield, on reaching which he was strongly urged by the prisoner to become a party with him in the het to the extent of 11. 10s. He positively refused to do so, and his suspicions being excited, he determined to leave the place. While he was looking for some silver to pay for what be had ordered, the prisoner snatched his money from him, declaring that be should retain it as a portion of the stake. After • good deal of altercation, the prisoner and the three other men Marta off and effected their escape, but Smith had since b-co apprehended. In answer to the charge the prisoner positively denied all knowledge of the transaction. The prisoner was remnsideil for a week. The magistrate acknowledged the receipt of 61. from "An Inhabitant," for the purposes of the poor-box. Richard Thomas Clement Gray, a well-dreaded middle aged man, lately trading as as ale and porter merchant, under the style of A. Gray and Co , 16, Crescent, Miooriea, wu committed for bigamy. He had married, on the &di of Augast, 1840, a very respectably-eonnutad woman, at the pawah church of Alton, Hants. He had bad two children by this marriage, one of whom was dead, and he had beat separated from his wife six years. During that period he had become acquainted with a Mrs. Adams, the widow of a tradesman residing at 53, Great Prescott-street, White chapel and on the 20th of last August he m ar l e d Wiry Bagnall Adams, her daughter, aged 21, at the regi.trer's Oki, Stepney. Mrs. Adams swore that when the prisoner proposied to her daughter, four months ago, she was not aware that his wife was alive. His son had been under her (Hrs. Adams's) ears for four months. Miss Adams, who appeared to be deeply affected at the sight of the first wife, admitted that the prisoner had told her that his first wife was alive, but he said be wasespa• rated from her. Witness therefore thought her own mar riage was valid. Oa cross-examination she admitted also that twelve months ago she visited the prisoner in the Queen's Bench prison, and cohabited with him there be fore he had proposed marriage to her. The witaese's evidence was given in a very confused manner, and she manifested an evident desire to screen the prisoner. Prisoner, when apprehended by Sergeant Foy, said he was an injured man, for both Mrs. and bliss Adams knew that his wife was living before he was married the second time. Mr. Yardley consented to accept substantial bail, but the prisoner not being prepared with sureties to the amount specified was committed to Newgate. Patrick lPNamara, an Irish coalwkipper, about 35 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley on remand, charged with committing a savage and murderous assault on his wife, Bridget, who has received most fearful injuries, which will probably affect her for the remainder of her life. The prisoner had been in custody sines the 6th inst., for the manner in which his wife gave her evidence at the first examination was so remakably confused and contradictory, that the magistrate thought she could not have sufficiently recovered from her injuries, and she was taken back to the London Hospital. The prisoner's landlady, Mrs. Wells, had deposed that she heard a noise and a fall in the pri soner's apartments; and not afterwards hearing the wife stir she became alarmed, and on breaking into the room after the prisoner had gone out, she found the poor woman lying on the floor in a pool of blood insensible, and all but dead. Prisoner had previously said to her that the quarrel she had heard was all through his wife's tongue, and that he would not allow any One to come to the public-house after him. The poor women vas now recalled and her evidence was of the most extraordinary description. In her anxiety not to criminate her husband she made the most contradic tory statements. She alleged that her husband had struck her, but that Mrs. Wells had given her a glass of rum, and that had mad, her drunk. This Mrs. Wells emphatically denied, and the surgeon deposed that thet• were Ito traces of liquor about her when she was brought to the hospital, but that, on the contrary, it was clear she had been awfully beaten. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial. Mr. Hairy IVAiIeZ• gentleman residing at No. 8, Lower Queen's-road, Norland Market, Shepherd's Bush, and his eon Philip, a youth about fifteen yearn of age, appeared to answer an adjourned summons for having on the 7th inst. unlawfully permitted certain squibs, and other fireworks, to be thrown from their garden into the house and garden of Mr. Thomas Salmon Selway, residing at No. 9, Lower Queen's-road. There was a second summons for setting fire to squibs within eighty feet of the centre of a turnpike road, and a third 5t1011210611 for unlawfully making a bonfire oa the Bth inst. in their garden within eighty feet of the highway. A younger son of the defendant was also summoned, but he was not called upon to answer the complaint. The parties were neighbours, living next door to each I other, and on Monday night, the 7th instant, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, the defendant's sons were in their garden letting off fireworks. One of the lighted squibs' fell upon the mat is the Ramage of the complainant's house and set it on fire. The complainant deposed that he looked out of the window and called oat, " Who , I threw up that squib ?" The elder defendant replied "I, your neighbour." The complainant told him that if they did not desist, he should call in the aid of a police constable. The defendant replied," Oh, send for two ; put your head in, and go to bed." The younger defendant then lighted another squib and threw it up, and that also fell into the complainant's y ard . The father applauded his son, and said, " Well done !' that's right." The complain ant said, " You will set my house on fire, and also my fowl house." Defendant laughed, and said "A good job too; I shan't then be annoyed with your fowls." Two other squibs were afterwards thrown up by the defendant Phi lip, and witness then made a complaint to the agent of the property. After he returned, two or three other squibs were thrown up, and one of them fell into the complainant's garden. Complainant was quite willing to allow the matter to (hop if the defendant would make an apology. This the defendant did not seem inclined to do, and the case was adjourned till yesterday, is order to procure the attendance of witnesses. Boma evidence having accordingly been given, Mr. Beadon asked the defendant if he had anything to say, and he replied that he bad not. Mr. Besdun observed that this was one of the most no neighbourly and abominable cases he had heard for some time. The defendant's conduct bad been most disgraceful in the transaction, and it was his full intention to allow all the costs he possibly could in the matter. He fined each of the defendants 205.; and he ordered the father to pay a further sum of three trobtase ee roots for the trouble and expense of the complainant in bringing the case before his notice. The defendant hoped he might be allowed to speak and call his wimesses. Mr. Beadon remuked that ha had just told him he had nothing to say. The defendant denied the language which had been im puted to him. He had lived two years in his present house, and had never had any luarrels before with his neighbours. The act was purely accidental, and was not done to injure Mr. Belway. Mr. Ilsation again remarked ia very strong language upon the case, aad said he should not alter his decision. The defendant would have to pay U. 35., or be committed for one month. He also sentenced the son to be imprisoned for one month, in default of paying the 20s. The money not being paid the magistrate stated that a distress would follow, and if there khould be no effects the defendants would be imprisoned. The defendant, who intimated that he had not brought any money with him, asked if there was any appeal ? Mr. Beadou said there was not. The defendant then hat the court, expressing regret that such was the ease. MARKETS.

BAIL COURT.-Yurnit DAT. 'MIPS AT till ►YCL—WaII 111. MTN. OVONTTOR AND • CANNON /TM V. 111ML2TVILL Mr. Edwin Jamas and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the aad Mr. &sigma Sims and Mr. Lush for Um ds feadaat. Tbis was an action to recover the amount of a bill of ex change of the 22nd of May, 1852, for 921., drawn by the defendant, and accepted by one Fell, and endorsed by the &tentlest to the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded that he bad only endorsed it to enable the plaintiff to obtain th e money from Fe.l under his bankruptcy. It appeared that the plaintiff is • 'unmakes, carrying on busies., in the Btraad, and the defuedsuat is an attorney, having chambers adjoining the Temple, and eating as the attorney for the plaintiff. According to the plaintiff's statement, the defendaat called upon kiaa in June, 1842, and asked him to discount this bill, and be gave him 801., and subsequently 101. On the day it became due the plaintiff asked the defendant to present the bill for him, and in the evening he said he had presented it, bat it was not paid; but he added, " It is all right, old fellow, I will get you the money. Fell has plent y . of peperq in Ire land." Some time after he told the plaintiff that they could get the money directly if they struck a docket against Fell, and the plaintiff gave the defendant 101. to take the requisite proceedings. On the 11th of November the defendant pre pared a petition to the Bankruptcy Court against Fell on this bill, and the affidavit in support of it made by the plaintiff was prepared by the defendant, and Fell was made a bankrupt. The plaintiff appeared before the Bank ruptcy Court and swore that be had advanced 901. on the bill. Beckley was appointed trade assignee. The defen dant owed the plaintiff 1691 13.. for goods supplied to him, consisting of guns, pistols, sta., whisk tkedekadant said he wanted for some friends who were going to Ltd* but they mast be charged to him, and he would be answerable; and the plaintiff entered them at the time in his books. In voices were sent with the goods. On the Bth of November the plaintiff gave the defendant • promissory note for 281. 10e. for hi. someamodation. When it was due the plaintiff was obliged to take up the mete, and he gave the defendant anelher note for 331. and an acceptance for 321. 10s. The plaintiff afterwards gave the defendant 331. to take up UM and renewed the acceptance for 321. 10..

Oa the part of the defendant it wee said that the state ment of the plaintiff was untrue ; that the defendant had been in the habit of lending the plaintiff mosey, and, as regarded this bill, that the defendant had endorsed it merely that the mosey might be obtained from Fell ; sad, as re garded all the other bills, they were given expressly foe the ateammodation of the plaintiff. The as was, in truth empieldp matradictory, as was the evidence given by the two perils. It was further argued that, until the defend ant had delivered his bill of costs sad bad primed for payment, the plaintiff had made any claim against the defeadaat. The only question was as to watch party the jury gave credit. The trial, which hes lasted for three days, was further. adjournedtio-day, at the conclusion of SILL James's reply.

The action was brought to recover the amount of the value of the materials and plant mentioned in this (clause. At the trial the plaintiffs proved that on the 28th of March, 1853, the parties to the agreement met to gether, and slimed the following mensonuadtun : " Asreed between Mr. Henry Fowler and myself, 4,3091. 125." The plaintiffs at first attempted to claim under this memorandum as a separate contract, but his lordship held that what took place in March wee mere preliminary matter to the agreement in May. The defendant then con tended that the plaintiffs mast show either that the amount of claim had been settled between the parties, or by arbi tration, and that two months from the time of settlinsent had eloped before the action was brought; but his lordship held that the memorandum signed is March was a suit. cient settlement of the amount to satisfy the dame in the agreement signed in May. It was now contended that the learned judge was wrong in the view which he had taken of the matter, and that the parties, when they signed the agreement in May, did not iutend to be bound by the memo rendes signed in Much.

The cause wee filed before Mr. Baron Martin in the City, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff,, damages GOf. Mr. James sebeequently ebtained a rule fur a new trial, oa the ground t►at the ver. dist was inconsistent, the jury having stated that there was sot a sufficient look out on board the steamer, but that the 'Brain of toe time Csallo also deserved blame. Mr. Watson now showed ca use, and contended that the jury having found that both vessels were at fault, a passenger on board the steamer who had Ptistainel injury might peek compensation from the owner, of either of them, and the q section between the owners of the two vessels was alto gether another matter. That point had bean settled in the case of " Thorogood v. Bryant," S Q B. Mr. liswkins was about to address the court in support of the rule, when ?ha Chief Baron said that Mr. Baron Martin was quite satisfied with the verdict, and the court hail certainly not had the rnieconduct of both the captains of the vessels suffi ciently brought under its consideration when it granted the rule.

The chairman of the committee took the opportunity of communicating to the honourable gentlemen statistical evi dence of the great progress which Bristol has made in her foreign-going trade during the last five or six years. It ap peared from the official returns that the tonnage of ships registered at Bristol had increased from 37,868 in 1817 to 71,000 in 1853, and that the number and tonnage of ships trading with this port to and from foreign parts, the cus toms revenue received at, and the value of goods exported from, this port, had all increased in a corresponding ratio. Mr. Berkeley and Mr. Langton expressed their satisfaction at this, and the pleasure they felt in finding that so useful a soeitty had been established. The committee thanked the hon. gentlemen for their attendance, and passed a vote of thanks to them for the great attention which they had uniformly paid to the numerous representations which the chamber had had occasion to make to them during the put session of parliament. —Clifton Chronicle.
