CITY, MONDAY EVININO. The Money-markets were all .buovant this morning. Comols, in which there was a little business doing at one part of the day, maintained themselves steadily at /Omit Saturday' s prices, viz. 9211 for Money, and for the Ac count, 928, In the Foreign Market there was considerable bustle, and many bargains made ; generally with a disposition indicating flrtimcw in the present quotations, if not im inurement, which we rather incline to think will take place, in the New World at least. Colombian Bonds were at Ou ; and Mexican Scrip at a premium. Brazilian Scrip also appears to have resumed its former 'invariable character, for it hat remained for these four days at the /nice of this in:-4-ning-24 4. Danish Scrip fluctuated between 34 and 2i discount. We have little to remark to v7ay with reference to Greek Securities, further than that the respectability of tha , e who hold them is a proof that they consider the Greek fitianc.:s as solid as the cause is ; jun; the Bonds were done to-day at .52, and the Scrip at 44 4. The Spanish Bonds firmly supported. Saturday's prices, and many bargains were done in them; the old were 931 j, and those of 1823,181 If we except some transactions in time Pasco-Pcrnvian Company on improved terrne 164 17, we can make no quotations of shares. as the prices were for the most part irnminal.

The event which took place 'on the 10th instant has excited considerable sensation in certain political circles. You must have read sonic of the little periodical brochures which have Leen so long admired in Paris for their prig-- mut wit, originality of style, and caustic satire en the pro- ceedinge of the French Cabinet, under the signature of Paul Louis Courrier igueron. The author was con. considered one of the first Ilelenists in France, and bail made several translatioes of the Greek eLysics. Die amus ing style, and the alarmist g truths he at times laid before the public in his 15 sous brochures, excited the due hatred of threw in power. The mysterious assassination of this witty liberal, in a wood adjoining his own house, on the night of the 10th, has given rise to conjectures that no un fee'd murderer drew the fatal trigger that deprived France of an amiable citizen, and a wife and two children of an aTectionate protector. The dreadful disorder among the horses in Paris still continues ; the King has lost twenty out of his own stud.

The botanical garden has been augmented by all the part of the practical school of trees, and a new plantation of fruit-trees has been formed upon the grOund where the practical school of cereal plants was situated. The litter school has been transferred to the other side of the garden. To establish a more prompt coat municatn between the two grand alleys, and that of the menagerie, a new one has been opened, which traverses the botanical garden.

The King has expressed his intention to celebrate by fetes the 7th of April, the day on which the French army crossed the Bidassca. Ills Majesty will in this only be the organ of the general wi.it, for, notwithstanding some supposed divergence in political opinions between the Cabinets of Park and Madrid, the Spanish Nation is very grateful to France fur having delivered it flout the revolutionar, yoke. Some attacks by robbers are representel by the alarmists as in surrections of the Coostitutionalists; but they are in fact bandittk, whose object is plunder, and who do not care about politics. There is nothing surmising in the existence of these bands, after the dis banding of the troops, and in the stagnation of trade. In several provinces, especially in Andalusia, the energy of the Magistrates has p•it down the malefactors. At Seville, the former chief of a royalist band has offered to the CaptainAieneral to clear the pro vince.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. • —ansis--- The opening of this Theatre has come open us somewhat by surprise this season. We had hitherto been habitually wont to re gard this little establishment as the pee liar and favourite scene of Summer amusement ; but, ere the Sprint had scarcely set in, we find it commencing operatibee, and anticipating the usual period of entering on its campaign, with a company Judiciously selected, strong in Humbert, and Moldy new to the public. It may now be fairly regarded ea a rival' of our 'Winter Establishments, and it has enlisted into its gasps Dransatigne tome of the most effi cient members of thme very powerful competitors. The Alersy ll'isri of Windsos erns the play of last evening. The necessity of' any detailed obsetymito upon its performance is superseded by the familiarity of all. play-going people Pith the excellence of Dowton's Sir John Faredr—the boat be fee at present on the stage, and the no leas adtutic !'../ excellence of Madame Yemeni, its the display of the engaging qualities of Mrs. Ford. This lady on her re-appearance was reteived with very general ap plause. It was very natural that the public should hair with WWII welenme the return of her fascinating sway to this classic temple of the Comic Muse. Several months bare dyad lines we have been favoured with the presence of this lady Ist our regular drama, and time, in the in,ervad, seems only to hate . giren maturity to her charms, and imparted perfection to her talents. 'She is one of those whom nature her formed in a prodigal humour,. and is a satiefactory proof of how very efficiently Nature eon do her work when she is inclined to undertake so agfeenble a took at the f‘mna:,on of a beentiful and accomplish -M vomit:. -She sang •'ll'hen it is the time of &tight '' in the second as., with admirable e ff ect, and was 'rapturously ergested in it. The other songs allotted to her in the play were at oqually_powerful and tasteful execution, particularly her duet with Mn. T. Hill, " All that glitters." Mr. J. itutsell, as Mager Slender, was highly respectable; and were he only to rely more upon his own re sources and less on an imitation of the peculiarities of lihrton, his performanre would merit a still more enoomisetic epithet. The leading tfovelty acd attraction of the night was Mrs. Humbs. front the Dublin Theatre, who made her first appearance in Cow slip, in O'Keefe 's Farce of the AgsreableSmsprise. Her previous reputation had led us to form high expectations of her performance, and it gives us pleasure to add that these expectations were fully realised. Mrs. Hurnby is a very pretty woman: she is of the midttle stature, pular:see an elegant f re,, and to a perfectly lady like deportment unites a most.sweeketediengaging,expression of countenance. Her voice is clear and egueable, and there is an archness and humour in her tones and looks, peculiarly interesting. Though she seemed not altogetherreliered from thatincompleteems of I,lf-proseission almost it - separable from a first appearance, she is manifestly a great acquisition to t he London stage, and poistesseeorigi. nal powers to render her highly popular io a department M . the drama that has not been pre.occupied by spy candidateufwhosecompetition she may be apprehensive. Mr. J. Russell played Lingo. He is a very clever actor, but the effect of ell he does and says is mate rially diminished by the too palpable manifestation of his perpe tually aiming at airplay. A new pastoral ballet was introduced after the play. As in most entertainments of this kind, there was much of dancing, much of confusion, and very little of what was intelligible.

Notwithstanding the tuagnlFade and number df the stakes and matches oc this week, and the beauty of the weather, there is by no means so full an attendance es at the Craven Meeting, which we can only account for by the important business during the week in Parliament, as inany of the gentlemen now here will leave for town after the races to-morrow, and return onWednesday ; and many other noblemen and gentlemen, who remain in London for the call of the House, and the important debate on the Catholic Bill, are expected to arrive about Wednesday. The present arrivals are— If is Royal Highness the Duke of York and suite. The Dukes of Grafton and Rutland. The slarquis of Exeter.

All the horses for the week's running are well and in high condition. They took their regular exercise this morning on the usual grourul, and a great number of sporting and other visitors were present. Rufus and Ton tine, in the long string of Robinson, Bra trainer's, horses, attracted the greatest attention. Bizarre and Cedric each took a gallop, and showed themselves to great advantage. Indeed the appearance of the whole of the horses was very gratifying. The ring was formed at an early hour, hut was not well attended by speculators. In fact, very little will be done on the ground till to-morrow, or after the day's races are decided. On the match between Cedric and Bizarre the betting was 100 to 80, and 5 to 4 (taken) on Bizarre, p.p. ; from which it is inferred by many that Cedric will pay forfLit. We cannot sp:ak as to the correctness of this infer ence. Cedric Las won a Derby, and has not, we believe, been beaten since; Bizarre has bei:n a Derby horse (Emi lio's), and a Leger one (Barefoot), both winners: and, if the match is run, the winner will have his work to do. The idea of Cedric's paying forfeit appears to us to originate from the circumstance of Bizarre carrying only wlb. extra, instead of 01b. according to the Craven Stakes weights. The general betting will be found below. The Duke of Brunswick will arrive here to-morrow, apartments having been provided for him. This evening J.

On Thurstlae evening last, the fourteenth lecture, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on the science of Phrenology, was delivered by Dr. Spurzheim. The Professor commenced by observing. that in the previous lecture he had considered the connexion which this - science had with the pursuits of agisti. On the present oc. cession he should consider its connexion with philosophy. All the progress yet made io the study or of psychology gas the dis. rovery of a few simple ideas relative to the effects of the powers of the mind, and their general modes of Amami. This was ab. solutely all that had been accomplished, for he would demon. "trate that what metaphysicians had called and considered powers, were really but the effects of powers and their modes of action. It would be his business, in the present lecture, to prove the consistency between the true philoaopt y of the mind and the doctrines of phrenology. According to the old sstem, the mind was said to be composed of two principal facu lties, the under_ standing and the will To the latter was referred every degree of desire, from the very' lowest•to the very highest: every mote. ment of desire was represented to proceed from the will. But this supposed faculty of thewill obviously led to the strangest in cnnoistencies and absordides. Suppose a man felt 'hungry, but was restrained from indulging his appetite by the advice of his physician. In this ease, one act of the will countervailed another act of the will: the desire to est existed, and yet the individual would not. Could this be the operation of a fundamental power of the mind ? or was it necessary. under these circumstances, to speak of a good will and a bad will ? Such a system of philosophy could not be useful in practical life, and could only lead to error in scientific theory. Sometimes men willed with and monetimes without reflection. Desire, or will, -.• Ls the effect of the indivi dual powers, and by having considered them separa tely , the au ditory understood why the will manifested itsso variously. There were, in fact, as maim different sorts of deaires as there were distinct fundamental powers, and 35 of them had been &s -een:tints% A great deal was said of the influence of Pleasure and Pain. The question was, whether any primitive power ex. nand 'which corresponded with these ideas? Learning was to most chddrcni a troublesome and disagreeahle process, but some advanced- in knowledge rapidly. They learned because they were amused; but in these children there wan great difference in the direction in which they applied their faculties. One child was delighted with the mathematics, another with mechanics, a third with languages. What was pleasant to one was disgusting to another. Ploptire, then, was clearly po power of thy mind, but the result of the gratification of some poser," and the kinds pleasure were consequently as various as the number of the . powers. Desire consisted in the activity of the powers, and pleasure In their gratification. Some persona could not cone:sive how others could be indifferent to what tleiigidt i'them ; but no idea could be mere , erroneous than that what was V7caz* to one must be agreeable to all. Those who had the inferior powers in greater size, could not imagine how others could take delight in the pleasures resulting form the gratification of the superior powers, and those individual, in whom the latter preponderate.: could riot endure the low and grovelling pleasures by which the interior mowers were gratified. Much had been taught as to the impormoce of possessing the faculty of attention; and all philosophers dwelt with earnest ness on the necessity of improving this supposed power. In the schools nothing could be attained without attention. But it seas observed that some individuals were attentive to some objects and not to ethers. In children this difference was even more remark- able. Let the experiment be tried of repeating a number of once dotes to a mixed audience. Probably all of them would be atten tive. Story-telling was generally agreeable; but let the speaker begin to reason on whet he had related, immediately the differ : enrc would be perceived. Many individuals would be soon fatigued of severe reasoning, while a low, perhaps, would listen to it with pleasure. A man fond of mathematic, would fall asleep when plailoomphy was discussed. If attention wens fundamental power it would be equally directed to all objects. But there were as many sorts of attention as there were intellectual powers. No doubt there existed in nature what was called attention, but it was no fundamental power of the mind. It was merely the result of a certain degree of excitement. According to the metaphysician', the reflections of the mind were fundamental powers. But the language of phrenology was quite different. No doubt the power, of the mind were variously affected, but the affections themselves were not powers. There was no power of anger or pain, or tickling ; these were but modifications, or, as they were properly called, affections of the powers or senses. These might be affected in many ways, more or lets agreeable, or otherwise ; but it was a gross mistake to confound the modes of action with the powers themselves. Anger might be considered a joint modification of combativeness and destructiveness. Fear was only cautiousness in excess; and in thin manner some affections resulted from indivi dual powers, and some from their combination. Compassion pro ceeded from the power of benevolence ; sod remorse from that of conscientiousness. The Professor gave many other illustrations of this part of the phrenological system. He distinguished the affec tions from the passions. The latter was only said to exist when the activity of each power was carried to the highest degree. lie complained that the language of the old philosophy was extremely vague. He was anxious that the affections might not be con. founded with the passions. As soon as a power became so active that it could not be controlled by reason, it arrived at that state in which it was properly called passion. This state was common in the inferior powers; and it sometimes happened to the superior ones. Religion was carried to excess of fanaticism. In some the extraordi nary developinerit of the organ of tune made them passionate musi. cians. Others had the organ of constructiveness exceedingly large, and they ruined their families by their excessive passion for building. The Professor then macteded to consider the nature of intellect. According to the metaphysicians, it consisted of memory, judg ment, and imagination. That such modifications existed he did not deity. The question was, whether they were fundamental powers. Memory was of many different kinds. If it were a fun. dementia power, it would be equally applied to all external objects. Sonic persons could remember all the fact; related to them, but none of toe names or dates. Some children could learn nothing by heart. but they could remcmher all they saw. Memory, then, could be no fundamentol power et' the mind. What, then, was it ? This was the question to be considered. The intellectual faculties would become so active that they reproduced the objects they be fore knew. This was what was called tnemory. It was only a higher degree of activity in the fun-iamental powers, but no funda mental power itself. The feelings had no memory. They could not reproduce the sensation they had experienced. Memory was on attribute of all the intellectual faculties; but it was more or lam strong in peculiar powers. This circumstance accounted for the differences that were found in every mind, with regard to the function of memory. Unless the phrenological system were wholly untrue, the current philosophy of the human mind must undergo a complete change. The supposed faculties existed, but they were only the modes of action, and not the fundamental power. Imagi. nation had bees called the power of invention. The composition of verses, music, and mathenuttical problems, were all ascrined to this faculty of imagination. But lie asked, could the composer of music therefore construct machines or write poetry ? Certainly not. Intaginstion then was no fundamental power, but only the highest degree of activity of each power. Some men had great imagination lu one respect and none in another. This difference was explained by the phrenological doctrine of separate powers ; but it was utterly tmaccountable on any other system. Was judg ment then a fundamental power? Some were good judges of painting an i not of music • some of mathematics and not of phi losophy. There was gteat ' difilculty attending this part of the sub icet. In his opinion all the fundamental powers were submitted to determinate laws, and accordingly as they conformed to these laws they acted perfectly or imperfectly. Every sense had its laws ; and as it adhered to them it was considered to be in a sound or healthy state. If the stomach performed its functions properly the digestion was said to go on well. Every form was not equally beautiful. It was deemed fine in proportion to the agreement between the ester cal object and the internal power. The same faculty was, as ap. plied to some things, called taste ; r.nd, as applied to others, judo. cent. !name individuals the power were active. bat not correctly active. Not every one who had a good appetite had a goad digestion. There wcie as many several abilities of judgment, as there were fundamental powers of mind. Each poser judged for itself. If the reflecting powers operated rightly, the in dividual was said to have a philosophical judgment. But judg ment half was no fundamental power, but merely the perfect ac tion of the powers. 'f 1 e doctrine of Association was much dwet upon by the metaphysicians. Was there then a power of associa tion ?—Certainly not. Al! that was meant by it was, the activity of the powers associated. One excited another. In some children, tear led them to make exertion ; and thus the faculties were stimu lated to labour. After some further general remarks, the Professor observed, that the next step he had to make was, to an important branch of philosophy,—the mutual influence of the powers. lie had passed through the powers separately considered, their expres sion or natural language, roiti their modes of activity. The next Lecture would open a wide field of study. The powers tomer acted alone ; they were always in combined operation, end the nature of that combination would form the next subject of consideration. The Professor is delivering another course of Lectures at Willis's Booms, but these continue to be attended by a very numerous and respectable audience. The choice pictures and furniture, together with the wine of the Duke of York, have been removing from York House for the last fortnight. The remainder of the furni ture, stained glass windows, porcelain, Src. and other pro perty, are to be sold by auction. Yesterday York House was opened fur the purpose of showing the property, but no person was admitted to view the articles without paying three shillings for a catalogue. A public meeting is shortly to be held at Plymouth, for the purpose of forming a Met!unlics' Institution in that town. The United Mexican Mining Company rec.:ived a letter last week from Mr. Almon, the new hlinister, in which he expresses his decided opinion that the Mexican Govern ment will not press the measure of imposing a high duty on gold and silver, and that he is induced to give this opinion from his conviction that the new Republic ought to encourage the introduction of foreign capital into the country, which the levying of a higher rate of duty on silver and gold would have the direct effect of counter acting. The Etoile foolishly announces, as something important, that a Sergeant of Voitigrun, named John George Napo leon, intends to apply for permission to substitute fur Lis name of Napoleoo, that of Lapierre, by Which be has bees known since he entered the sm.:cc. - li*. . _. APPEAL. ROUSE OF LORDS, Aram 18, Mt Henry . Hoyle Oddie. Appellant, anti Sir Ralph James WoodGrd ; Bart.. and where, Reepoodents. • This was an appeal IM7I a decree of the Lord Chancellor - A. ca a qaestioei ai.aing out of the will of Peter Thelluson. The litiga tion' on this will has heel so extersive that a very slight recapitu lation of facts will suffice to recal the whole of the cireednatancas to the minds of nor readers. Peter Thelimos, Esq. the testator, tiled 93.1 Jul.. 1717. By his will the property was directed to cumulate during the lives of tire testator's three sons, of all their ann., and all the 'est..: of his grandsons who should be living at Ins death, or be born in due time afterwards. These three eons ware Peter Isaac, afterwards Lord Rendlesliam ; George Wadded. and Chilies Thelluson. Trustees were appointed by the wig, and" various provisions made for the disposition of the property till the period appointed for its accumulation had expired. Among others wax the following for the dispossl of advawsons—" And with spect to the said advewcatn, right of patronage and presentation belonging to any other estate that may hereafter be purchased by my said trustees" the survivors or aurvisor of them, or any littera trustees tar trustee to be appointed as hercinbefore mentioned, f order and direct that my said trustees do and Ail:, when and as tiro same shall rcspeetively be or become void or vatarli. present abe and proper person th er m, who shall fo r th a t p ur p ose 'be homiest... by one of my said sore in rotation, the eldest having the 'Battu mination, and the like norm:lt:don to be made by the eldest male lineal descendant of try three tons respectively, in the order and. rotation aforesaid, if he be capable by law of making such norniaa tion when the church becomes vacant, or io due time afterwards, otherwise the eldest male lineal descendant of the nett brother to to present to such living ; and in case it shall so happen that when sis hliving or livings ellen respectively have become void, or to dueitime afterwards no male lineal deer-et:dant. of any of my said eons shall be capable of presenting thereto, I direct my mist trustees, or the survivors or survivor of them, or such (more trustees or Hosier for the time being, to present to such 'ilia,: or livings respectively." A t the time of the testator's death he ban only the presentation to one ; but by the purcases eine made by the trustee; five had successively become vacant.. The thtee sons of the testator presented to the three first that became varant'in rota non. The fourth presentation was made by the eldest son of the testator's eldest son, the present Lord Rendleshain, and the ques tion now is, who has the right of presentation to the filth. The appellee*, Henry Boyle Oddie, claims in r4htof his mother (Au elder tester being unmarried), second daughter of George Weed_ ford Thelluson. The point in question is, what interpzetatiah shall be put on the phrase " eldest male lineal descendant. Th f arguments on the claim of the appellant in February, 1821, before the Lord Chancellor, occupied a week ;an in the following No vember his Lordship made a decree, by which he declared the right to present to the living in question not to be in the plaintiff, and ordered that the plaintiff's bill should be dismissed, unless ant appeal should be presented by the plaintiff within a month from the next sitting of Parliament The appellant did in consequence, in February of the following year, present a petition of appeal to the House of Lords against the decree,which now came on for hearing, . the Lord Chancellor being assisted by all the Judge% in town. Mr. SHADWELL contended, at considerable length, on the part of the appellate:, that lie united the fourfold character of " eldest male lineal descer.dant," and was therefore entitled to the pre. smtaton. JII%tiTIIEBOTTOTS followed on the same side. Mr. HART % , t'Utt then heard Ibr the respondents, and tht hearing was adjourned to that day week. LAW IN7'ELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Aran 18. EX•PAIITE DEVCkON. IN THE MATTER OF SMITH. Mr. PARKER stated that this sas a case in which Mr. Smith had been struck off the rolls, and he was instructed to move that the pe tition in this Court might be restored. His Ilosora desired to know what became of the petition Mr. PARKER said, it appeared that Smith had appealed from the order of his Honour to the Lord Chancellor—that his Lordship, upon hearing the appeal, directed certain things to be done by Smith, which he had not done, and now he asked to have the peti tion in this branch of the Court restored. The case had led to a great deal of correspondence between the parties, which he (Mr. P.) held in his hand. Smith's distress was very great, and the Learned Counsel was anxious to do all for him he could. Smith would not be satisfied, unless the present application was made—what might become of the petition afterwards was another thing. His Ilotroun said, he recollected the case perfectly • it was case in which the Court of King's Bench had struck Sn;ith nff the Rolls, end upon a petition presented here, the Court thought it was bound, as a matter of course, to strike him off the Rolls of this Court also, which it did. His Honour did not exercise any judg, - ment in the case whatever ; but tae Lord Chancellor had heard the cue fully uiscussed, and exercised a judgment in it; therefore it was quite impossible for his Honour now to interfere. BUTLER V. DORTON. A gentleman behind the bar moved in this cause, that it might be referred to the Master to inquire whether any of the timber that had been cut on the Northamptonshire estate. by the defendants, in violation of an order of the Lord Chancellor, was lit to he cut as timber • and if it was, whether any of it was wanted fo r th e re . pairs o f e ;tete, and if so, that such of it as might be so wanted should, under the direction of the Court, be used for that purpose.. And al.*, that the remainder of the timber, and all the timber•llkw trees which were cut down, should be ordered to be sold, and that the produce should be paid into the Court to the name of the Aa countant-General, to abide the further order of the Court. Motion granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Mom) AT, APRIL 18. Adjourned Sitting.: after Hilary Tenn, before the LORD Cmar srtcr and Special onorxxxo v. Wf1.11X90,7. This was an ac: ton of tr.-wet, brought to recover damages in con. sequence of the detemlant having unlawfully detained and con verted to his own use a number of East India Warrants, entitling the holder to claim at the Company's warehouse 30 hales of Some cotton, and which warrimts were the property of the plaintiff. The defendant pleadrd the genera/ issue. It appeared by the evidence that the plaintiff, who wart a 4c, living in Middlesex, occasionally had dealings with a Mr Pb 1. Lipson, who was by trade a &rialto, sometimes by joining him in purchases made on speenlation, or by engaging him to act for him as his agent or broker, and sometimes by making regular purchases of him. Mr. Phillipton having bought 180 bales of Stine cotton on his ownpuceunt, the plaintiff, in July 1823, agreed to purchase 90 of them. The invoice was made out and delivered to the plain tiff, amounting in the whole to 1,0701.185. 11d., but which included the price of 10 chests of black dye. and the usual charges for bro.. kerage. The plaintiff paid Mr. Phillipson this money, but suf. feted the warrants for the cotton to remain in his hands, and in. atructed him to Fell them for him (the plaintiff) as soon ass profit could be realised. The stare of the market not having authorised Mr. Phillips= to sell the goods, the warrants were retained by hits till August 1324. when his affairs becoming embatrasned, be made application to the defendant to assist him with the loan of about 14001. Alr. Wilkinson declined lendl o tp l the money, but offered to purchase any goods which he m igh t then have to sell. Mr. Phillipson . then said that he had - bales of cotton, and world sell them to him upon the understanding that he (Mr. P.) should be at liberty to buy them bark again st one-eighth of a penny advance upon earl; lb. These terms were agreed to, and Mr. Phillipson accordingly delivered over to the defendant the •East India warrants for the 203 bales of cotton, Eve of which warrants belonged to the plaintiff Mr. Greening, being for 30 bales. The dCer.dant paid Mr. Phililmion on the 23d of Augest, 1524, 1,5441 Ills. Si'. for there. warrants. On the same day the ale. fendant drew a 13111 of Exchange on Mr. Phillipson for the re-put. chase of the conon. a: the advanced price of one perry per lb. : the warrants. however, retraining in the defendant's possession as a security for the pay,r.eht of the bi!l. Theounount of the bill was 1,6001. g a difference of 351. 10s. 43. The bill was never paid by hlt. Phillipson, who subsequent?)• hat be:ome a ban krunr. Hr. SCARLET,* argued that this was clearly nothing more than a pledge of goods upon a usurious lean of money. but et:dra t routed to be ;sgui<ed by a perchase and a re-purchase. The sale was altoge;!•:::: fictitious, and as the law had decided that no broker should be allowed to id:dge the !roods of his prii:cipal. the, bein; entrusted to him for este only, and this being no sa'e, tilt a vase pledge, he contended that the defendant had no: a Tight tet retain the warrants, and was therefore answerable to the plaint ff for the amount of the 30 halm The value of cotton in October hat, whit the demand and retosal was made, was proved to be OJ., sal at the present titre 10:1. per lb. The ATTOSWEV-GtNFRAL. before 'dal:easing the Jury for defendant, observed, that if it should be decided that the plaintiff was erithted to recover, yet, accordi:g to the law Ilia down by Lord Elleobomugh is M (MKT V. opera, 3 Campbell); Rep. p. 477, he maid cut) , recover the value at the time of tbe de mand and reasa :lade, and not at the time that judgment was ob tained. • The Loan- fluor .frivics said, that that ease by no means *tithed him that the plaintiff was limited to the time cf the con vention; and that it was a question for the Jury to consider what price the Plaintiff should be milled to. . • The Avronwaw.Graraat. then sail, the Jury hed tone min two qu.v.tionsa—lat, if they were of opinion that the plaintdf ought to reenter, what amoant they would consider him eatidsd re ; and, secondly. whether he was etitijed to recover at all.
