The Corporation of the City of London have issued a notice. in pursuance of the Act passed for erecting the new Fleet market, that the building, which has been some time in progress, and is now all but completed, will be opened for the commence ment of business on the 20th of the present month. The new market forms a handsome and elevated quadrangle 232 feet by 150, standing on a surface of one acre and a half. The purchase of the ground and buildings which stood thereon, is estimated, in round numbers, at £200,000. The building of the market, inc!ud ing pavior's accnnt, &c. is stated at £30,000. The avenue, under which are the shops of the dealers, and which extends round the building, is twenty-five feet high to what is technically termed the tie-beams, with ventilators ranged a , equal distances The shops in general are let at 15s per week, or with a parlour, 255. Iter week. In the centre of the roof of the principal avenue, a beautiful turret and clock have been placed ; the latter is con structed on the same principle as the clocks of St. Bride's, St. Giles's, and Whitechapel, a stream et gas flowing to a point behind the dial-plate, thus affording the great advantage of ascertaining the time during the night. The entrance to the market is by two gates for waggons, &c. and two smaller ones for foot passengers. Besides these, on each side of the quadrangle, massive oak doors are to be thrown open, from morning till the close of public business. Righteen large lamps are placed in the centre of the market, so that an ample • supply of light will be afforded. The shops have ill been let. The tenants In the old market have bees formally served with notice to quit, and many of the shops are already deserted. The committee who have the management of the whole have engaged to clear tray every vestige of the old market by the first week in Decem ber, and throw open the whole street leading from Blackfrian% bridge to Holborn ; and subsequently, it is in contemplation to continue the road in a direct line of communication, terminating at the Angel, at Islington. The street where the old market now stands is to be called Farringdon.street, and will form one of the widest and most commodious thoroughfares in the Metropolis.— The new market is to be placed under the strictest surveillance, and nothing but eatables are to be offered for sale in it. PEMBROKE DOCK, Nov. 10.—Colonel Jones, C.B. and Colonel Gosset, C.B. of the Royal Engineers, have been here during the last week inspecting the works carrying on under the direction of the Honourable Board of Ordnance, and returned to London.yesterday morning. They have, in conjunction with Capt. Savage, the Inspecting Officer here, surveyed the different parts of the harbour, with a view, it is supposed, of erecting fortifications on some of the eminences commanding the dock-yard. The diving-bells, and men for working them, have at length arrived here from Plymouth, and the new pier for the Waterford packets is now proceediag with great activity. His Majesty's ship Pearl, Commander Blake, sailed on Saturday last on a cruise, having put in here from the Cork station. Counterfeiting the coin seems to have reached its max imum in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, for when that Princess called in the base money by proclamation, in order to have it con verted into sterling coin, at a separate mint in the Tower. it was found that, out of 631,9501b8. of current currency, there was 387,5341b5. of dross. The Antiquaries Agarde (who was living at the time) and Hearne rslate a similar anecdote connected with this purification of the coin, which, if true, gives cause to suspect that it had been fluxed with arsenic. They state that many of the work men employed in melting the base coins " fell sick to death with the savour, and that they were advised to drink in a dead man's skull for their rescue. Accordingly a warrant was procured from the Council to take off the heads from Landon-bridge, and to make cups of them ; out of which they drank, and found some re lief, although most of them died." There are said to be not fewer than 2,000 horses em ployed in the conveyance of passengers between London and Bris tol. nearly the whole of which the construction of a rail-road would dispense with. A Quaker apothecary meeting Dr. Fothergill, thus ac costed him :—" Friend Fothergill, I intend • dining with thee to day." " I shall be glad to see thee," answered the Doctor • "but pray, friend, bast thou not some joke?" "No joke, indeed," re joined the apothecary, "but a very serious matter. Thou bast attended friend Ephraim these three days, and ordered him no medicine. I cannot, at this rate, live in my own house, and must live in thine I" The Doctor took the hint, and prescribed hand somely foe the benefit of his friend Ephraim, and his friend the apothecary. Haller mentions an instance of a man whose finger being caught in a chain at the bottom of a mine, by keeping it for cibly bent, supported the weight of his whole body till he was drawn up to the surface—a height of 600 feet.

After I had the tetter nearly twenty years on my hand, and had used dollars' worth of celebrated setter ointment, which took of the skin repeatedly without effecting a cure, a friend advised me to obtain some blood root, called also red root, Indian paint, &e. to slice it in vinegar, and afterwards wash the place ef fected with the liquid. I did so, and in a few days the dry scurf was removed, and my diseased hand was whole as the other.— Ausericari Farmer.

In this matter the Loan CNANCRLLOR some time ago pronounced his judgenent,by which he dismissed the petition, and ordered a medical gentleman (Dr. Routh) to have his costs paid by the peti tioners. The object of the petition was to reflect on the character of that gentleman, but which the Court thought he had fully an swered. The SOLICITOR Unseat. to-day applied on an affidavit, made by his attorney, to have the matter restored into the paper or further consideration, on the ground of having been taken by surprise, and having known nothing of the intention on the part of the Court to dispose of the question, until he had actually read the judgment in a newspaper. The LORD CHANCILLOR refused to comply. The case had been regularly in the paper : it had been called over several times, and no one appeared to enter into it. Under these circumstances, having read the affidavits, the Coe:t had disposed of it ; and if the parties were desirous to agitate what bad been done, they would have to take the regular course of proceeding. NRW AILANCIRDINT. The VICR•CIIANCRLLOR having often experienced difficulty In getting through the business beftsre him, in consequence of the absence of Counsel, in the course of last week particularly, his Honour struck out every case in his paper, when Counsel did not appear to support them at the moment they were cal!ed on, re fusing afterwards to allow them to he restored on applications having been made to him to such effect. The tesult of this has been, it is said (together with the observance of the manifestation of a somewhat similar spirit of action in other quarters), that an arrangement to the following effect has been come to by the several Learned Gentlemen mentioned below, with respect to their future attendance in the various branches of the Court of Chancery : The SOLICITOR-G=IIIAL and Mr. HORNZ will take no more briefs in motions in the Vic*, nor in Bankruptcies, either in his or in the Lord Chancellor's Court. Mr. Pm* leaves the Rolls and Exchequer to confine himself exclusively to the Lord mid Vice-Chancellor's Courts. Mr. KNIONT leaves the Rolls to practice in the Lord and Vice- Chancellor's Courts. Mr. Blessumen withdraws from the Lord and Vice-Chancel lor's to attend at the Rolls. Mr. PRILBRILTON confines himself to the Rolls, after he has got rid of the business he is already engaged in in the other Courts. Mr. TINNILY goes no more into the Exchequer. Although this state of things has been come to, it is presumed that none of these Gentlemen will relinquish their practice on ap peal cases before the Privy Counsel. INCONIPSNIINT CONSTRUCTION OP' TM COURT. The Souctroa-Gnsesat was under the necessity, of relinquish ing his task of reading an affidavit, in consequence of the great difficulty he exeprienced from the want of sufficient light He observed, that he therefore should be under the necessity here after of applying formally to have the construction -of the Court altered. _ _ The Loan Cnattcassoa said, it seemed 13 if it were requisite that the windows at all events should be altered. COURT OF KING'S BENCH,—Nov. 13. SHARP v. ASPINAL. This action was tried before Mr. Justice Bayley, at York, and a verdict found for the Plaintiff for £1 3s. Mr. WIGHTMAN now moved to enter a nonsuit. The Plaintiff was the steward of a benefit society, and be sought to recover back the sum which the Defendant had distrained upon his goods under the order of two Magistrates. The distress was ordered under the 49th of George 111. cap. 29. By that act, which was passed to protect Benefit Societies, two Magistrates have authority, upon bearing the complaint of a member of a benefit society, that relief h as e been refused, to issue a distress upon the goods and chattels of the society. The only question in this case was whether the proceedings before the Magistrates were legal. Mr. Parker, one of the Justices, resided in York, and the other in the county of Lancaster. and their order was declared illegal, because the third section of the Act rendered it necessary that both should reside in the county where the benefit society was held. Mr. WIGHTWAN contended that it was legal for any two Jus tices to issue the distress, but the Court held that the Act specifi cally pointed to Magistrates of the county, and refused to disturb the verdict.—Rule refused. WILSON P. COPELAND AND BOOTH. Mr. Cuter: moved for a new trial. It was an action against the late Sheriffs for goods taken under two writs of fa fa. against the property of Lord Montford. The cause was lately tried be fore the Lord Chief Justice, and a verdict given for the defendants. The goods were in the house of a Mrs. Bromley, at York -street, Portmamsquare, and it appeared they had been made over to the plaintiff for claims to a considerable amount. The Defendants called witnesses to prove:that Mrs. 1 ircituky bad been living under the protection of Lord Mondoid ; and be had been seen in the house with her ; and, in short, that the goads were the property of that Noble Lord. The Jury found for the Defendant. Mr. Cower now contended that improper evidence had been ad mitted, and that it was a verdict a‘ainst evidence. He had affida vits to prove that Lord Montford was present when the goods were surrendered to Mr. Wilson, the Upbolsteter, and that his Lordship declared he had no claim on the property. Lord TIDITINDIN said Lord bloodied and Mrs. Bromley might have been called at the trial. Mr. Justice Barsse—" I do not think in this case there ought to be a new trial. The goods might in justice belong to Mr. Wilson, and I hope Lord Montford will do justice to Mr. Wilson ; but the question was, whether these goods were ever in possession of the plaintiff'? T he Jury found they were not. There isno independent act or declaration of Lord Montford's to support your purpose." * Mr. Justice Pasz—" I think a rule Nisi should not be granted." Rule refused. sunsets ILIDITOIII. The Avvonstsv-Gtotznat. obtained a rule for a 'Alandamus. com manding Mr. Anthony Lion, Master of the Waterman's Company, to swear in and admit Mr. John Benyon to the office of Clerk of the said Company, and deliver to him the books and documents of the said office. The motion was made on the alleged improper-con duct of Mr. Lion in refusing to. swear Mr. Benyon after be bad been properly elected. THE ZING V. ZZZZZZZZZ Thomas Sharpels, on the motion of Mr. BILODZIUCE, appeared In Court, and pleaded Guilty to an Indictment, under a new Act of Parliament, for taking under his exclusive care and custody insane persons. BOWEN V. VOX. This was an action brought by the principal owner of a ship, called the Gratitude, to recover possession of the certificate of the register, which had been disposed of by the Captain to the defend. ant, who had repaired the ship when she put Into port through stress of weather. The cause was tried at the last Assizes for Cornwall. before Mr. Justice Burrough, when a verdict was re turned for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Maaawanss now moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the grounds that a captain could not dispose of the certificate of registy ; and also, that the Learned Judge summed up the evidence at the trial in such a manner that the Jury could not hear. This arosepartly from indisposition, and partly from the construction of the Court, and when be summed up a second time, at the request of the Jury, he (Mr. Sergeant Merewether) could not bear a syllable.—Rule refused. DO3 DIX. GRIZX I. COOL. Tbis was an action of ejectment tried at the last Assizes for the county of Gloucester, before Mr. Baron Vaughan, when a verdict was returned for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Wuxi' now applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the weight of evidence. This action was brought by an heir at law against a devisee. The testator was of an imbecile mind, and not capable of resist ing tlio influence of the persona about him. The witnesses for the plaintiff consisted of all the servants who had lived with the testator from his marriage until his death, and they clearly proved that he was in a state of mind not capable of managing his affairs, and that he was entirely cohtrouled by the devisee, his wife, who always treated him as a lunatic, desiring her servants not to ac cept any thing be might offer them. In proof of the disordered state of his intellect, he (Mr. Sergeant Wilde) would state a few facts which were deposed to at the trial : when he was going to he married he went to the blacksmith's to get a chain lengthened, to drag the church from the bottom of the hill to the top ; he was lust to all the decencies of life, and even seemed to have no regard for self preservation ; for he would frequently. when the carpenters were at work, place his foot under the axe as it was going to strike, and they in consequence could never work when be was there. His amusements were of the most childish nature, and he frequently lost himself on his own estate, and seldom recognised his most in timate friends. ' Lord TIENTRILDIN inquired if the witnes.es did not state that he was drunk when he did those things? Mr. Iblegeant.Wraiss replied in the negative; and in continuation said the deviwe was a very beautiful woman, and it was evident that she had married only fur the sake of the testator's property ; •tur irons the hour of marriage she had never trusted hint out of her sight. '1 hr testator used frequently to amuse himself by pick ing np ilybbiles r and by counting grains of wheat, the mainbites he made being timed generally wrong. • Lord Twenties's Inquired what the evidence was on the other side to counteract 'hi.. Mr. Sergeant Wass said that the apothecary was called to prove bis state of mind, but be did not think that he bad known him sufficiently long to form a correct opinion. And to dhow that the testator did not like the apothecary coming to his hobs, it was proved that be went into the kitchen and told the servants that that " ll—d doctor was come to eat him out of house and home, and he would give him some grey peas next time he came." Lord MITZIDII3I observed that he was afraid the Court could not disturb the verdict; ft was better not to enter further into such a case, because the party could bring another action.—Rule re fused. THE MG V. lIITAM AND WAITS. This was an inforns --- a7ion;g;iOW tlCriefetd;nts, In the nature of a writ of quart inspedia, for obstructing officers in the execution of their duty. The case wu tried at the last Assizes for the county of Norfolk, when the defendants were found guilty. Mr. K mita- now moved for a rule to shew cause why the ver dict of guilty should not be set aside, and a verdict of not guilty recorded, on the ground that the officers were not authorised to act as they had done, and that the obstruction was, therefore, jus tifiable. It appeared that a quantity of smuggled goods had been landed on part of the coast of Norfolk, and some officers of the Prevonive Service proceeded to the house of the Defend ants, and attempted to search it, but were resisted by the De fendants, on the ground that the writ did not authorise them to do so. blr. Kelly now maintained the same position, in an argu ment of considerable length; after which, The Courr granted a rule to shew cause, Lord Tzwrzanint ob• serving that it was a point of considerable importance geoerally, though perhaps not so in this particular ease. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Their Lordships sat is Banco at Westminster yesterday morning, but nothing of any interest took plate, and at one o'clock Lord Chief Justice Tonmx entered the Nui Prima Court at Guildhall. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. The Judges of the Court of Common Pleu and the Barons of the Exchequer sat in this Court yesterday, to hear arguments in writs of error. - ZDWA LDS V 4 VILVVY4 This was an action originally brought to recover a penalty under the Statute of the 7th and Bth of Geo. 11. which enacts " that if any churchwarden, overseer, or other person, having the charge of the poor refuses to stew the rate-book when applied to, and re quested by a parishioner so to do, he shall be liable to a pe nalty of twenty pounds for every such offence." In the pre sent case the defendant was an assistant overseer, and it ap peared he refused to ►hew the plaintiff a rate-book. He, the plaintiff, in consequence commetsced an action against him, and obtained a verdict for the amount of the penalty. The defendant carried the case into the King's Bench, and the Learned Judges of that Court refused to disturb the verdict. He then brought it into the Exchequer Chamber on a Writ of Error,which yesterday came on•for argument. Mr. Caurast.t addressed their Lordships at considerable length in support of the verdict, after which The LORD Cuter Josue' of the Common Pleas pronounced judgment, by affirming the decision of the King's Bench. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-ST R KEY. Yesterday mo ning a poor soldier. named John Bath, together with his wife and siu children, were brought before Mr. SIIIISHULL and Mr. &crew by sir. Thomas, Superintendent of Police, who stated that he bad found the unfortunate family wandering about St. Giles's parish in a state of utter destitution, being with out a place wherein to obtain shelter or food to eat. Derain% them objects of charity, he had them taken to the watchhouse, and there not only supported them with proper refreshment, but al lowed them a separate room to repose in. The poor soldier stated that he was a native and a freeman o Bristol, to which place be was prosecuting his weary way when taken into custody by Mr. Thomas. The greater part of his life bad been spent in the army, and he had fought in almost every battle that took place on the Continent, and terminated his mili tary career en the plains of Waterloo, having been soon afterwards discharged from the service. He subsequently married, and his family increasing beyond his means of supporting them, his affairs ultimately fell into decay. During the last three weeks he bad been staying at Woolwich, but on applying fur a pass there, he obtained a few shillings and was sent about his business. the Magistrate to whom he applied staring that the palish was too poor to be at thi expense that would be necessary tot passing so large a family. Mr. Minimum. remarked that this method of getting rid of a burden was bet too often resorted to, and asked the poor soldier if he had got a medal? The poor soldier instantly produced his only remaining treasure, which he said he would only part from with life. Air. Thomas asked whether there was not a fund at this office applicable to such objects ? Mr. blussuotx replied in the affirmative, but said be could not draw on it for more than half a crown. _ Mr. BECZET observed, that it was the wish of many charitable individuals to erect an Asylum for housekss wanderers at the West end of the town ; and, if the Commissioners of the New Police would but give it encouragement, he (Mr. Beckett) had no doubt that such an establishment would speedily be formed. . e.lll . . Mr. Thomas said, he was convinced the Commissioners would have great pleasure In promoting so laudable au object. The Rev. Mr. Beckwith humanely gave the poor soldier a trifle, to which the Magistrate added 61. 6d. with directions that himself and his family should be taken to Marlborough-street, when the Magistrates would order St. Giles's parish to pass them home. MARY-LA-BONNR. Davis, a Jew clothes salesman, residing in Mary-la-bonny-lane, was yesterday brought before the Presiding Magistrate, Mr. Holl ins.. charged with feloniously receiving a gold watch, four gold rings, a gold brooch, and other articles, knowing them to have been stolen, and to be the property of Mr. Alexander Mann, a fish monger, residing in Connaught-terrace, Regent's Park. It may be rembered that, on the 4th of September, Mr. Mann was ribbed by a boy In his employ, named Clegg, who absconded with a gold watch, a gold brooch, foot gold rings, a watch key, a pair of sugar tongs, and a silver spoon. The boy was subsequently apprehended, committed from this Office, tried, and convicted at the last Old Bait y Sessions, and at present lies under sentence of death in Newgate for that offence. Mr. Mann deposed that he was robbed of the above-mentioned articles on the 4th of September, and they had not been found on the apprehension of the former prisoner. Thomas Harris, a lad residing in Mary-la-bonne-lane, deposed that, Shout Bartholomew-fair time, (the 4th of September,) he was standing in Oxford street, at the corner of a livery-stable yard, where the former prisoner, Clegg, came up to him and asked him to go with him for a walk into the fields. The wit ness complied, and they proceeded as far as Harper's-heldi, where Clegg turned up some ground with his hands, and about a foot from the surface of the earth took our four gold rings, a gold brooch, a table-spoon, and a pair of sugar-tongs (the witness did not see him take out a watch). Clegg then asked him to sell the articles for him, but he refused, and ultimately, on another lad joiaing them, he left the party, but again met Clegg some hours afterwards, who gave him a shilling, and skewed hint a new pair of trousers which be said he had just bought. Charles Price deposed that be met the prisoner Clegg, who asked what would be the best place at which, to sell any thing ? Witness replied, some Jew's shop ; and they accordingly went to Marpla-bonne-lane; and entered the clothes'-shop of the pri soner Davis, who consented to purchase the goods. Clegg then accordingly gave to him a gold watch, and the other ar ticles ; and witness was most positive in his declaration of hav ing seen the articles in the possession of Davies. Witness imme diately went out, and Clegg afterwards informed him that the pri soner Davis had given bias twelve shillings for the things. He also had on a pair of cord trowsets, which he said be had bought there. Mr. Isaacs, sen. who attended for the prisoner, - objected to the amount of money, stated to have been received, as not being evidence. _ _ The prisoner was held ta bail to answer the charge. HATTON-GARDEN. Two men, named Frauds Burt and Ames Coale, were on Thurs day night sent to Eagle-street watch-house, Debasing to C clic/Woo, in custody of an officer, by Mr. Lam. the Magistrate. Shortly afterwards Mr. LAING himself appeared at the watch-house, and gave them in charge for being drunk and disorderly in Middle-row, Holborn. The men denied that they were either drunk or dis orderly. Yesterday morning the prisoners were brought before Mr. Lasso and Mr, Sergeant Szu.os. Mr. LAW. (to Burt)—What are you, Sir 3—A brush-maker. Mr. LAnto (to Castle)—And what are you, Sir ?—f am also a brusil-maker. Mr. Lauto—l have a great mind to make you find bail for your conduct on Thursday night; vas language wag shameful; you are this time discharged. The prisoners were nut asked in any way to meet the charge, and left the Office, after having been locked up all night. , UNION-HALL. Yesterday, Wbilcher. pained Sirsessell,testding lit the New -cut, and his journeyman,were brought before Mr: Hose, charged with having committed a vinteut assault on a young Lady, the daughter of a Lieutenant in ske Navy., The, complainant stated , that !he went to the defendant's shop for the jiurtiose` oft ordering 'blame a small 'joint of 'tituttbn. Hitias"sebited the meat; she requested' able of the fat to be eat p btst.ahia was refused by thi butebei, who,. with his ic•tirasYlffiso. reft ll 6cmPO. abuli9L,P , afliacti e lizt her by the most . opprdbrious names. sae enaekeoures to make her way out of the place, but was prevented by the two greasy fellows, who swore that she should not budge an inch until she pa id for the meat. After having detained her there for a considerable tlnie, the complainant at length seabed out of the place; and on her return home, having described the mariner in which she had been treated by the defendants to her friends, her mother and a gentleman residing at their house, immediately repaired there with her, Ibr the purpose of ex postulating with the two fellows for their gross and brutal behaviour to a young and unprotected female. The butcher himself, enraged that his conduct should be called in question, struck at the mother. but the blow fell on the daugh ter, and gave her a black eye. The gentleman who accom panied them, now stepped forward, in order to rescue them, but he was immediately assaulted himself by the butcher, who being a powerful fellow, struck him a violent blow on the breast, that rendered him incapable of opposing so formidable an oppo nent. The young lady and her friends were glad enough to escape out of the shop, and they were assaulted with a repetition of 'the blackguard language the defendants bad used in the first instance. Two Magistrates having been present, and the assault on the mother and gentleman who accompanied her on the occasion hav ing been proved against Strugnell, he was fined st 3 on the one, and £2 on the other case. Pritchard, one of the turnkeys of the King's Bench prison, preferred a complaint against iffrohases While, for carrying spirits into the Bench. The prisoner was in the habit of taking fish for sale into the prison, and not the ' slightest suspicion had ever fallen upon him. On Wednesday morning last, he was about to enter as usual, with a basket of oysters en his head, when be was descending the steps, a person ran against him, and tumbled him and his oysters to the ground; at the same time there rolled oat a bottle, ingeniously covered with basket-work, so as to resemble the bottom of one, containing nearly a gallon and a half of gin. The prisoner said it was his first offence ; but this was denied.—Fined .C2O, or to be committed to Brixton for two months. . - TOWN HALL. Yesterday, Mr. George Hecht, proprietor of a two-horse Brixton coach, was summoned in consequence of his driver wilfully occa sioning damage to the Omnibus fnningtoo stage.

DEPREDATIONS NEAR HUDDERSFIEL D.-011r Hud. dersfield correspondent writes thus to us :—" LAM sorry to inform you that stealing in all its branches appears to be getting prevalent in this neighbourhood. I have frequently heard of the commis sion of petty thefts, and have now to mention two instances which might have proved serious affairs. The first occurred last Tues. day evening, when Mr. Swaine, of the firm of Swaine and Webb, of this place,' Was stopped on his way home, about eight o'clock in the evening, on the Leeds road, shout a quarter of a mile past Bradley Mills, by four ruffians, who pulled him off his horse and riled his pockets of some silver, and attempted to get his watch, but the chain broke. Mr. S. then called out " murder !" as loud as be itAild, and there being a cottage within hearing, inha bited by a Mrs. English, she came out with a candle in her band, and the robbers made off, leaving Mr. Swaine In•possession of his pocket-book, which they had not time to secure. and in which was property to a considerable amount.—Early on Sunday morning last some villains entered the kitchen of a man of the name of Hartley, at Greenside (going up to Mr. Allen's church,) by taking slitter off the roof, and stole a quantity of wearing apparel and Aldan provi sions. In both instances the depredators have not been disco. vered."—Leeds Inteitigencer. DIED. In Dublin, aged 0, the Rev. M. P. Kinsela, of the Order of St. Francis.
