The majority of the farmers who have held back their fleeces for two or three ears have Seen tired out, and latterly have pushed into the market ; the consequence is, that a larger ' , quantity of Down wool has been sold this year than for many years put op to the present time, and there yet remains so much, that . prices are not likely to improve' materially. Combing fleeces bear a higher price propor tionally than clothing fleeces, and will probably continue so to do. The value of Down fleeces is about Bd. to 9d. per lb. very few lots being worth more than 91 however good. Rent fleeces have been selling at l Id. per lb. with thelamb wool At the same price, but would not bring so much just now. The failure of a lArge tnanufactuting house in •he North has cast a general gloom over both the English and Foreign wool trade. The import of Foreign wool has been large lately, and prices of some kinds are lower, particularly of Spanish wools of spell ties competing with English fine wools, which are quite a drug. Still the prices of wool in general are so moderate, that not snitch alteration can be expected, though the trade appears likely to be a flat onlfor some , . weeks to come. THE MARKETS.

Mercury in perihelia Monday night last, a poor woman with an infant at her breast, lodged at an obscure house in Congleton ; about seven o'clock in the morning she pursued her route to Sandbach, begging charity: and having been relieved with a few pence, she proceeded towards Iklant wich. Overcome with fatigue, she laid herself down by the road side, and gave maternal nourishment to her child. Her situaion attracted the notice of a gentle- man who was passing by in his gig ; be kindly inquired into her situation, and relieved her wants. She was the widow of a soldier who lately died in the Indies. The poor object of our narrative proceeded to Nsntwich, and passed on towards Tarporley, but the hand of death lay heavily upon her; she could not reach Chester, where bet relatives reside, but expired, it is supposed, from grief, and perhaps want, in a lonely cottage by the way side. Her infant survived her about six hours. It is not known how far this poor woman had travelled with her child ; but it is conjectured she commenced her journey at Chatham, a distance of 200 miles from the place of her death.—Manchester Herald. A MAD BULLOCK.—Wednesday afternoon, very gems confusion and alarm was produced on the Bayswater road, by the appearance of an overdriven and infu riated bullock, which, in its rapid advance down the road, attacked every •tnoving object within its reach. The animal had, from the wanton barbarity of some fellows, detached itself from a drove of cattle cnming from Southal market, and having taken its course towards Craven-hill, attacked several persons,' who, however, escaped its fury by jumping over pa lings, and taking refuge behind houses, trees, &c. At Craven chapel, a poor painter, with a basket full of paints, came within the scope of the mad animal's vision, and before the painter was aware of his fearful adversary, the bullock came dashing upon him. The painter barely had time to parry the assault by hold ing up his basket, which was instantly, pots, paints, brushes, and all, tossed into the air; the shock of which tumbling about the furious animal's head, dis tracted its attention from the painter, - who saved his life by plunging into a ditch. This incident saved the lives of a respectable Gentleman and his wife, who, perceiving the animal diverted in its onset by the painter, had just time enough to escape the danger by getting within the square. Several Ladies and children had extremely narrow escapes, but we have not beard of any serious consequences attending the flight of the animal in its mad career. It is rather remarkable that the Lady and Gentleman who so narrowly escaped near Craven Chapel, were, upon their return in about a quarter of an hour after, again met by the bullock plunging towards them, and returning hastily, samt • themselves. LA* INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. Nov. TQ PARTZ DANIRL rK RR SOLARI'S.. theLonD CHANCELLOR gave judgment IR this cause, which was argued before him a few days ago. The ques tion was, whether an agreement to pay 6 per cent. upon cent in discounts, 1 pls. cent. being in di.charge Of an old debt for which the party was not legally liable, and the other 5 per cent being the regular rate of interest, was such a transaction as came between the usury laws? The dealings took place between a bill broker of the name of Bramley, and Alcedo, a Spanish merchant. The Court of Chancery directed an issue I to try the question of usury, which came on to be tried before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Plra , ,' who was of opinion that there was usury, and so charged, the Jury. The Jury thought otherwise, and returned a verdict according to their opinion. An application' was made for a new trial, which having been argued at great length, his Lordship promised to decide in a few days. He now stated his conviction to be, that the verdict of the Jury was perfectly warranted by the evi dence and by the law of the case, and said it was pre cisely such a verdict as he should have given if he had 'been a Juror. He thought there was no ground what ever for the view which the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Plea. had entertained of it, and therefore re fused the application for a new trial. X•PARTE DE REDD'S IN as CHAMBERS. Mr. Holism appeared on behalf of the petitioner, Signor De Begois, of the Italian Opera House. The 'petition. set forth, that the petitioner was a creditor, under the commission of Chambers's bankruptcy, to the amount of .1,7001. He had been a performer at the .King's Theatre also, and his present application was, that the assignees of the bankrupt. should be prbvented from taking upon themselves the contronl and manage ment of the Opera House, without either the sanction of the Great Seal or the concurrente of the creditors . The petition further stated, that the . petitioner (De Bee nis) had caved 8,0001. a year to rent the Theatre. An other offer had been made by Mr. Ayrton, a Gentleman who had been Director for many years of the King's Theatre; yet both of their proposals had been rejected by the assignees, although it must be admitted their experi ence and knowledge of the concern would have rendered them more competent to conduct it advantageously than the assignees, who now wanted to take upon them selves the management of it. The gentlemen who now sought to become the committee of management were a Mr. Bransconi, a plaisterer ; Mr. Mayhew, a solicitor; another member of the committee was a tailor. Now he was ready to admit that each of these gentlemen was respectable in his particular calling; but the very cir cumstances which made Mr. Mayhew a good solicitor, Mr. Bransconi a prosperous plaisterer, and the other members of this committee successful in their respective pursuits, prevented them from devoting that attention to the interests of the Italian Opera House which R I required. The petition set forth further, a prayer' that the Court should adopt one of the five follow ng modes of disposing of this question; first, that a sale of the property should take place for the benefit ~1 the creditors ; secondly, that it should be leased either to the petitioner, or to an application approved, of by his Lordship ; thirdly, that an Injunction should be granted ; fourthly, that in the event of the property being managed 6y the assignees, an approved security should be given to the creditors for the rent; and fifthly, that the costs of the application should be granted out of the. funds of the estate. It was really with a view of promoting the interests of the creditors that this appli cation had been instituted. Several meetings of the .creditors 01 linbers hid taken place, but the assig- nees had, on no occasion intimated to them their inten tion of superintending the management of the concern. He was at a lots to account for their taking such re sponsibility upon themselves, without either the 5 anctioo of the Great Seal, or of the creditors. The present petit•oner had no other obj-et than the placing of the property in the hands of persons who were competent to manage it to the advantage of the creditors. These Gentlemen had entered into engagements for dancers and singera without any authority, save their own good will and pleasure. Now this was a power which he himself submitted that the Court of Chancery would not sanction any assignees to exercise over the propexty entrusted to them. Mr. Ross followed on the same side: . He particu larly dwelt upon the incompetency of the present com. mittee of management to regulate so vast and import ant a•tenctin:, as the King's Theatre. The Italia() Opera . Ifiesa•was a fashionable theatre; and he sub mitted,- that even if the establishment were to be en trusted to its •creditors—a Roman cement maker and the other person's composing the present committee of management, were not the fitter& creditors to whom such a trust should be delegated. He apprehended that the consideration of patron rge had some influence upon the minds of those gentlemen in inducing them to undertake the management. The privilege of sa -1 perintending so fashionable a concern was not without its inducements. The distribution of free admissions —the dsucesir of giving boxes was also a privilege of which gentlemen were desirous. The Learned Counsel concluded a very humorous speech,by suggesting, that the anxiety of obtaining the patronage of engagements, boxes, admissions, &c. was the motive which prompted these gentlemen to be so desirous of exercising a con treul over the management of the Opera House. • Mr. SUODFN observed, that of the many creditors claiming under. the bankruptcy of, Chambers, to the extent of 300,0004 there was but one creditor who • offered opposition to the course which had been taken by the assignees. There was no property so welt' watched, or which so many had an interest in watching, as the King's Theatre. If the. assignees bad attempted to do any tbing injutious to their interests, the complaint against them would not be confined to one petition. Al. though Signer de Begnis appeared before the Court as a creditor, his real character was different from his as sumed one. His object was to become manager of this concern himself. He had a visionary plan of his' own for this purpose, but Ibis plan was not approved of by the assignees; and he therefore turned round upon the assignees, and wanted to force them into his own terms. It was an . important fact, however, to consider that Signor De Begnis had himself offered thej services of his wife, Madame Ronan to this very Coos-' mittee, against which be now so vehemently protested.' The gentlemen who undertook the management. were men of substance, and not likely to enter into any rash and hazardous Speculation. They bad no motive of acquiring patronage in the conduct which they had pursued. The Loan Csamcntr.oa said, he did not think there was any evidence in any of the affidavits to chew that they were actuated by such a motive. Mr. &anew revemed-r:.There was a meeting of cre ditors representing, to &considerable amount, the debts due under the bankruptcy, and they expressed their confidence in the assignees. This expression of confi dence was not to be impugned by a solitary petitioner. (The assignees certainly rejected the offer of Signor De Begais ; they did not approve of his terms; one objec tion was, that be was an alien. They might, also, not be satisfied with the security which he proposed. Thetis was another proposal to drum at present under consi deration, and if they were satisfied with it, I.e was con gimped that it would - be entertained by the A‘signees, whose conduct throughout was regulated solely by g desire of advancing and securing the ?entire interest* of the creditors. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that this was a subject which could not be dealt with according to the ordinary rules of property, as the propetty was of an estraoedi. nary and peculiar character. The ordinyy tonna would be to send the case to the Master's oak i but if he did so, he was at a loss to know when it Would coos* out of it. Meanwhile, the interests of the cteditora required that the Theatre shnulJ be shortly opened..-it it was not, inevitable ruin would befsl the property. The con•ideration of time, therefore, became a most important one in this case. Seeing, therefore, that One was but one creditor who petitioned against the course punned by the assignees—seeing nothing in any of the affidavits which would warrant him to seppose that these was any thing in the conduct of the assignees hostile or injurious to the interests of the creditors, and apprehensive that a reference to the Master would be attended with an injurious delay in opening the Theatre, he would order the petition to be dismissed. Mr. HORNS hoped that his Lordship would allow the costs of the petition to be defrayed out of the estate of the bankrupt. Mr. §,UODEN opposed the application. He relied on the circumstance of Signor De Begnis' offering the services of his wife to the Committee, whose conduct and authority he now most unwarrautAbly impeached. The LORD CDANCALLOR would not say that the appli cation of Signor De Begnis was an improper one to be made to the Court by him, as a creditor: He would, therefore, allow him his costs out of the estate. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Noy. 24. THE EXECUTORS Or RUNDELL W. MHO. At the sitting of the Court the Vica-Cmasinitunit delivered his judgment in this case, which was reported in our paper of Thursdly last. His Honour, after stating the point in dispute between theparties, observed, that after a careful perusal of all the papers that had been handed up to him, he was of opinion that the in , jonction ought not to be granted. It was not denied that the late Mr. Rundell had gianted•an annuity to Mr. Bigg and his mother, which Mr. Rondell seemed by a bond ; and when he (the Vice• Chancellor) considered who Mr. Rundell sias, and how well that Gentleman must have been acquainted with all matters of bisiness, he found it difficult to•believe that Mr. Rundell would not have demanded that bond to be delivered up to him, if be had intended that it should be cancelled by his subsequent favours to Mr. Bigg. Mr. Rundell must have known very well that Mr. Bigg ,could claim under that bond ; and if he bad intended to cancel the bond, the obvious mode of carrying his intention into effect was to have ordered it to be deli veted up to him. This he had not done: the bond was still in the possession of Mr. Bigg, and in his mind there was no doubt that it would be improper for the Court to interfere, and, presuming the intention of the testator to have been that the bond should be cancelled, to refuse to allow Mr. Bigg to claim under the security he possessed. The case was a very extraordinary one on both sides. It was extraordinary that the :wears of the annuity bad not been demanded for so many years ; but then this was in some measure accounted fur by the peculiarities of Mr. Randell's character. On the other hand, it was very extraordinary that Mr. R. slionid not have paid these arrears without being applied to ; or, if he had intended the aanuity to cease, that he %hould not have demanded the bond, by which the payment of it was secured, to have been delivered up to him. • This had not been accounted for in any way. A solution of .he mystery had indeed been presumed, but the Court would not be warranted in acting upon that presumirw lion. Under all the circumstances I f the ca.e, he thought that the application ought to be dismissed with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 24. Tug KING. V. RICHARDS. This was a prosecution at the instance of the Earl of Glengall, for a libel published in the Age newspaper, of which the defendant was proprietor, reflecting on his Lordship's character. The case was tried in the Easter Sittings before the Lord Chief Justice of this Court, and the defendant being convicted, was given in custody. The ATTORNEY GENERAL now moved that he be broogheup for judgment. Lord TENTERDEN having read his report of the trial, Mr. BROUGHAM, in mitigation, begged leave to read an affidavit of the defendant's, in which he stared, that he had been confined, on account of this charge, in the King's Bench' Prison from the time of his conviction, in June last, up to the preient period, between five and six months, and that having ceased to be a proprietor of the paper, he was reduced nearly to a state of stare tion—that he had Written a letter to Earl Glengall, declarifig that he, was not himself the author of the libel, nor did he know by whom it was written, it hay. idg been sent to the paper by an anonymous contribu tor. The defendant, in that letter, had also expressed the - nfost humble contrition at having been made the means of wounding the noble Ewes feelings, admitting likewise, that the assertions were grossly false and scandalously libellous, and he concluded by earnestly intreating that his Lordship would permit him to be brought up for judgment wi:hout any limiter attempts at aggravation being made which might prejudice his discharge. _Mr. Brougham then observed that there was another affidavit, which he trusted the Court would give him the benefit of, though his (Mr. Ws) clerk had neglected to put it up with his other papers, an it went to prove that the defentlint had no longer any interest'with the paper..
