One of their titles to compen disputed, as he was not a freeman of the inently not a regularly appointed ticket. objection was held by the Recorder to J his claim set aside. The Jury retired hour, and awarded compensation to the 22371. 18s. 6d. award is somewhat less in amount than the upoissioners had originally proposed to the Plain- Asja....-10101113y. THE LONDON none COMPANY. case a Special Jury was empanneled to as damages due to the Plaintiff on account of susta i n ed by him, i n his warehouses on Tower consequence of the erection of the London' The Plaintiff's claim amounted to upwardsH „not, and the sum tendered by the Commis= a ppointed to estimate the damages, was 7501. ,g r . PARKE and Mr. MARRIATY appeared as Coma far the PlaietiiF; and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, M r . G A RROW, and Mr. DAMIPIER for the Company. Eidenceastothe general increasing value of the ware. } l as was adduced, from which it appeared, that in t opar previous to the opening of the Docks, they f ake a pro fi t of upwards of 20001. No proof, how. yr!, was offered on the one side or the other, as to * amount of any special loss on goods contained in * co mpulsory clause of the London Dock Act, by a bicb all tobacco, wine, and brandy are prohibited 1. 02 being landed, except at the London Decks, order the penalty of forfeiture. In these circum outs, the Jury retired for upwards of two hours, ;lathes returned with a general verdict of 40001. 2s. for loss arising from the London Docks, ttnia Docks, and the value of the lease of the entouses. A long argument, for upwards of an hour, then elk place, between the Recorder, the Jury, and the Counsel oe both sides, as to the wording of the verdict. The RWORDER and Mr. DAMPIER for the Company mounded, that the verdict must be a special one, for purpose of affording a fair opportunity before the con of King's Bench, to try the question, how far any loss arising from goods other than those specified in the compulsory clause of the Act of Parliament to meant under it, to be made good ? The Jury stated that they had given their verdict snout regard to the compulsory clause. They had pen a verdict fur a sum which, according to the best dtheir judgment, was, as near as could be, to the ge neral injury sustained by the Plaintiff, not from the goods contained in the compulsory clause alone, but from those carried in the vortex along with .them into the Landon Docks. They had , deducted from the whole a fourth of the sum, as the loss which k was probable the Plaintiff might have incurred by the Warehousing Act, independent of the London and ' West India Dock Acts. The Recoenen again urged the propriety of enter ing a Special Verdict. If that was not done, it would be impossible fairly to meet the question stated, and which affected not this case alone, but many others inch were likely to occur. If the verdict stood as a !sera' loss, arising from the provisions of the Act, Without exception, it would completely preclude the elestion under the compulsory clause. Again, if the ;edict was to be esteemed as 'saving reference to this clause, it was a verdict without evidence ; and, if varranted by it, there was no occasion fur any de 41Ktion, the Act specifying none. He, at the same tine, recommended to the Jury to return, and recon ader of their verdict. The Jury declared this unnecessary.- The; had Andy delivered their verdict. A special verdict, in the terms recommended by the Recorder, was afterwards handed to the Jury, and another framed in different terms, and wished to be submitted to their consideration by Mr. MAarmerr, on the part of the Plaintiff, was with-held. Oa perusing the Verdict framed by the RECORDER, the Jury expressed their wish to retire, and returned With a Verdict, finding the Plaintiff entitled to 43881. Vs. 64. as his loss arising from the Erection of the London Docks; 5261.95. from the West India Docks, *lBOl. as the value of the Plaintiff's Lease, mak ing a total of 50971. 6s. being upwards of 10001. IP* than their original Verdict ; independent of the loss und er t h e Compulsory Act, as to which no evi *sue was submitted to them. The remains of that respectable and veteran Per fumer, Mr. Hytt, were removed on Friday morning fen his house near Dean's Yard, Westminster, for interment, at St Margaret's, Westminster, in the faxing order : Two Mutes ; hearse and four horses ; lid of feathers ; twelve Attendants, and nine mourning coaches. l re 4 mlera—Messrs.

MOVI ftLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The cold easterly winds, attended with rain, snow, and sleet. whickhave prevailed during the most part of last month, have been very unfriendly to the progress of vegetation, in consequence of which every thing is in an unusually backward state, many sorts of held crops having made scgrcely any advance, The grass lauds, even in those districts which are the mast favourable to that sort 'of husbandry, are in a very backward condition, laving but li: i I.: of that fine peon appraranze which Is usual at this season, the crops must of course be late in being cut foe hay. The A.Mc MUM have likewise been far from favourable to the rape, t an., rye, and other similar crops, cultivated as early spring cattle foa 1, which last month promised well, should the weather have h....v.,: suitable for them. All these circumstances have contributed, with various others, to render the keel of all sorts of stock tztreinely scarce, and con sequently high in value, which has had the tendency of keeping store cattle of most sorts much lower in price than would otherwist: h ave b ee n the cue, while the dreg in respect to fattened stock has been that of raising it much higher. The turnip crops, and those of the thousand-beaded cabbage, which has lately become more extensively cultivaud as a CALL crop, have, however, perhaps this season bent out better than ustril as articles of cattle food. Front the continued trots and dryness of the last month, and that which preceded it, the tillage lands have scarcely ever was kt.l in a more perfect manner, those s p rin g cro p s which have been already pot into she soil, having bad the mast complete prepara tion. Even on the heavy descriptions of land thin Las been the ease, especially where the benelcial practice of laying them wet up in the encamp has been bad recourse to. The crops of oats, harlots rust and others of the spring kind have been already pat la 'on a very considerable breadth of land in many wal.k distlicu. The stocks' of witeas a in the country are in most situ - awns cora -1 cderable, thaegh tht4oru markets have not been lately so folly s uppled, in asusequeate of width, the sales have been more brisk sr...t at s‘m .14i* higher prises, • . t i i F E A ;
