LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) CoURT oF ARCHES. Rf MAR r. HEATH. THh SENTENCE. .li.itely after Dr. Loshiogtou took his scat on the Is, a tbl. snowed for the plaintiff is the above ..1...rvt4 that at the last sitting the court gave Mr. II fortuight to consider whether, is aoeordasee a,t , . ii.. statute, he was prepared to revoke his errors, intimated that in that case it was desirable that a f• ..t retractatiou should be submitted to mussel. He 4a, Lwow what ...mow lr. Ilsath intruded to pursue. Lushingtou said the court gave Mr. Heath a fort or:: whethet Le would retro.* &cooling to the 4 , tr ; awl if he declared that day that he was ready , • cart, the court would two him further time to shape s ...tr....Mhos. which would, of course, he submitted to vora-el on the ether side. I g said the other day lie was himself unfor t ii...cly alhsent. Mr. Heath, be uoslentood, found conOiler i.: difficulty in knowing exactly bow to act in this Animg other remote because be did not quite under - AA . I with regard to the 1:1 articles brought against him whether the decisiun of the court was that they were ie retracted separately from and independently of esh other, or what shape the retractotkin was to WNW" .11d on.t dearly undeetand whether he was to retract th.• errors in the form in which be was accused, or in that which they appeared in the sentence ; there being, io fact, sumo daffaeso between the two. He Philli more) submitted that the proper course that MOM ig4 was that his leirned friend should state the from retractation, which ou behalf of the promoter th.- suit, be required Mr. Heath to sign, and that then 11r. Heath should have an opportunity of stating whether h. would sign it or not. He did out know of any ease in which a form of retr.o•tation was ever brought before the court eurept Stone's case, in which Mr. Stone himself drew 31, ..De that the court thought insufficient. In the pre eut me*, in which there were thirteen articles relating t.. a book of sermons. it was difficult to kcow whether the r tiactatioe was to Ise A retreetatioa of the passages cited c, the artk le or of the errors cone lined in the summary at the aid of each charge. Ile thought it only fair, therefore, to sick that a farm of retractatiou should be suggested either Iv the other aide or by the court. If that mane were pursued—if a form of retractation were made nut, Hr. Ileath would perhaps be allowed three toys, or any other time the court pleased, to consider the twitter. Yr. Heath did not at all wish for delay ; there was out the mmllest intention on his part of throwing any us:hi:kid session or soy ditfirultie. iu the way. But he ,'.sued great difficulty et present in making up his mini, for the reams be (Its. I'Lillimore) hail mentioned; and ts• thought that if the c.iiirt were to order a form of retracts tiun to he prepito,l at once, and call upon Mr. Heath say within three .toys, or any other period, whether he s•ailil accept it or not, they would then be in a position to o, whether the court should proceed to per sentence ; for apprehended that at prevent the court had not pawed Luslairigtou had not the least hesitation in declaring he opinion that it was in DO respect whatsoever the dut► of the court to frame a retractation to which Mr. Heath Auld give hie assent. What the court had done was this. nut of the question the formal articles, which were • the subject in discussioa, and which the subject in dim:notion, there were four articles proved which the court thought contained erroneous doctrinea If Mr. Heath wan prepared' to• retract the errors coatained in those four article*, that was all the •ourt could desire ; bat it wee for Mr. Heath to frame his retractatioe, ad not for the court or the opposite party to tale any steps in the matter. l'hilliniore said he did not himself think that the form of nittactation could relate to the errors, but rather to the peasages cited. He had no authority for saying th►t his client would do anything of the kind, but suppose to acre to say, " Such feud such passages are charged against me I h ave n o objection to retract/those pumps ;" or sup• • be were to say, "Such and such errors are contained in such awl such passagee-1 retract those errors." Lushington sash the court certainly would Dot, before s retractation came before it for its consideration, give ad• sire as to the manurr in which it should be framed. He could sot go bound pronouncing, as he bad dons, that fte doctrine. set forth by Mx. Heath, in certain pings% s-re repugnant to the Thirtydriae Articles. Twins presumed that if Mr. Heath retracted he c.ust retract the erroneous doctrines contained in the pas mge•. 14. Luslungtou said it was for Mr. Heath now to say whether be was prepared to retract or not. If be declared that be was crop arral to retract he would give him further time to consider; if not be should proceed to pass kuteucp. Dr. Philliniore then explained aloud to Mr. Heath, who r‘tremele deaf, that the court required him at once to e. rte up his mind whether or Dot he would retract the , inirs contained in the articles proved against him, the rev me form of retractatioo hying reserved. Mr. Heath, iu reply to his counsel, maid, it was impoe- Ode for bum to retract the peaveys. . Iv. PhiHimont —Well, ea to the errant °attained in them! Mr. Heath —The error u charged, or aa laid down in the 'adamant ! They are different. I'lullimurr—The errors contaioed in the judgment. Mr. Heath— Well, I really don't know what is wanted ate. (Turing to the judge). Perhaps it I had another forteizht 104.1 make up my mind. Today I really do tot know what is wasted. Philitmore—U( course, my lord, the sentence is *hat lir.

Dr. Luthington require en answer to this guestima— te Mr. Heath prepared to retract according to law or not? If he ta, I will give Mtn further time to slaps retracts hos ; if he to sot. I must proceed to pre ecames aestence. Its. h teing repeated to Mr. Heath the formal gumbos just put from the bench.

COVENT GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.) Supplies, on the whole, have been father less than those of last week, though prices have been about the same. Home grown produce is, however, eituil to the demand, with per haps the exception of pears, which are chiefly continental. Grapes and pineapples are abundant. Of cauliflowers there is still a fair supply. Potato markets are unaltered siren our last report. Cucumbers, thoirh scarce, are sufficient for the demand. Tomatoes are getting over. Cut flowers chiefly consist of orchids, chrysanthemums, violets, mig nonette, heaths, and roses. Cotton grovrinj has commenced in British Guiana, and with a probability of success. At the annual meetimi of the parisk schoolchildren in Demerara nearly I,ooochaldren were present from different plantations, and amongst them were a number of coolie and Chinese children, dreaed in their national costumes. THE GALLS.—SHIELDS, FRIDAY NOON.—We have had a wild tempestuous night at sea, though there are no more losses of shipping to record down here this morning. The Phionix, of Aberdeen, which went ashore on the Herd S.uid, yesterday afternoon, has broken up during the night, and the vessel's bott om having come out, her cargo, coals, has been completely swallowed up in a quick sand. The Welsh vessel, the Albion, _laden with grain, keeps sena There is every prospect, also, that the Forsyth and Concord, South Shields brigs, ashore on the southern coast of Llurham, will be got off if the weather moderates. The Dutch vessel ashore on the rocks on the south of the Tyne is an entire wreck. The weather is much more mild this morning, though squally, and there is every appearance that the gale is going down. The wind is Y.N.W. The sea is still high on the coast, and there is no prospect of the large fleet of laden collier vessels getting out of the Tyne until it does subside. THE GUNBOATS AT POttrANOUTII.—An order has been received at Portsmouth to hold in readiness for active service, at an hour's notice, all the gunboats in the first-clan reserve at that port. Tu enable this order t o be carried out in the most efficient manner tho officers and crew for each vet eel have been told off to her from the ships in harbour—the offs ors, seamen, and Marines from her Majesty's ships Victory, St. Vincent, and Excellent; the warrant officeia and stokers from her Majesty's ship Asia (the reserve guardship), and the engineers from Heeler. On the signal being made from the flag ship, " Man gunboats," each one told off will collect togther his sea kit, and, whatever may be the duty upon which at the moment he may be engaged, will at once proceed in the ship's bo..t to the gunboat on hoard of which ho has been warned to hold himself in readiness to serve. The two first manned will then immediately take in • months provisions, which will lie held in readiness for them, and when completed will be succeeded by the remainder. Au • soon as the provisioning is completed the whole force will be at once ready for any service, home or foreign. Each boat carries a 40-pounder Armstrong forwsrd, and a 103-pounder Armstrong aft, with shot end all the nemenery stores, except powder whi c h will be ant to them on the signal to man the boats being made. ACCIDENT WITH A PINToL —Between seven and eight o'clock on Mouday evening last, an accident of • serious kind happened at Eceleshall, to H. Clewlow, a little boy aged about 11 years, by the accidental discharge of • pistol. The youth and several companions bad been amusing themselves with letting off the pistol during the day, end afterwards thinking it was not loaded, he put it into his trousers pocket with a cap on, half cocked, and the barrel upwards, when shortly afterwards he somehow snapped it in his pocket, and the pistol went off, lodging the contents in his left side. As soon as the accident had occurred, the little sufferer ran to the house of Mr. G.. 1. Greeks:, surgeon, distant about 103 yards from the scene of the occurrence, when he was immediately conveyed home, and every assistance rendered. The wounds are of a most serious chareeZer, and, although every possib's attention is being rendered to the hoe. it is feared the cese may terminate fatelly.—Stalordshire Advertiser. ANOTHER RUNAWAY TRAIN.—OR Wednesday an accident occurred on the Rosedale incline of the North. Eastern Railway, caused by the breaking of a coupling in a train of waggons which were being drawn up the line. The train ran back, the locked wheels markings distinct line of fire on the metals. A min named Illingworth received a compound fracture of the collar bone and other injuries. TR•FFIC RECEIPT& —The traffic receipts of rail ways in the United Kingdom for the week ending Nov. 9, amounted to 526,031 f., and for the coveepooding week of last year to 517,992/. ; showing au increase of 8,039/.

The demand in the discount market yesterday was brisk, and not much business was done below 2j per cent. At the Bank of England the applica tions were upon a moderate scale. The dividends are advertised on Chilian Four and-a-Half per Cents. through Messrs. Baring; and on the Brazilian loans through Messrs. Roths child. About 90,0001. in gold, principally Australian by the Anglesea, was bought by the Bank yesterday. The telegrams from Bombay report a further slight advance in the exchange, and the silver market is consequently somewhat firmer. Some mercantile houses who usually are not shippers of silver are now despatching it in large quantities to Bombay, probably to pay for cotton. The continental exchanges yesterday afternoon were again fiat, with adroopingtendency, the demand for bills continuing. The Austrian exchanges con , tihue to form the exception.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted to 12,000 bales. TLe market remains firm. A new London Joint Stook Bank, formed of the principle of limited liability, now appli cable to banks, is announced under the title of the Mercantile Bank (Limited). The direction resectable, and of a practical character. In order that "an ample portion of the capital" may "be left uncalled to secure the confidence of customers" it is not intended to call up more than 301. per share, or 300,0301. of the capital of 1,000,0001. The fact that the current and deposit accounts of the existing London Joint Stock Banks have increased between 0,000,0001. and 7,000,000/. during the last twelve mouths reported upon, is cited as proof that the field for banking is extending. It is intimated that the General Bank of Switzerland have obtained an interim injuno tion from the Court of Chancery restraining the directors of the Bank of Turkey from paying away money to the shareholders. Holders of cheques already given for this purpose were ac cordingly rt fused payment yesterday by the com pany's bankers. It appears, however, that of the 40,000 aliens constituting the capital of the Bank of Turkey, the holders of 30,000 have already re ceived back the deposit of 3/. The matter will be argued further in the Court of Chancery on Fri day next. . . . . . The report, to be submitted by the directors of the Mercantile Fire Insurance Company, at the special meeting called for the 25th inst., makes the satisfactory announcement that the second call of 21. las. per share, which was originally fixed to be paid on the Lt prox., is not considered necessary. A paid up capital of 200,0001. is cow regarded as quite sufficient, the subscribed capital being 2,000,0001. Regard is also had in this arrange ment to the contemplated union with the North British Insurance Company. The business of the Mercantile Company is described as of a satisfactory character and fully maiming the directors' expecta tions. _ _ _ The monthly return of the Bank of France, as made up to Thursday last, the 14th of Noventher, shows the following results (the exchange taken at 25(. to the pound) : _ _ coin and bnllioa nails anemone-4 Dieresis) 1,1P10,004 Note,. in cires!stion Privme Treasury deposits Advances on public securities Decrease SW.OOO Tne prevoiro upou the Bsok euutiuu2s, Inc. is leis heavy than during the previous mout:i.
