MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the last few days there has been rather more animation in the markets for 'Foreign and Colonial Produce, and, in several instances, higher rates have been realised. Tea has been in mode rate favour at a slight advance. The finer descrip tions of British Plantation sugars have also shown an upward tendency, but in the refined market there has been less buoyancy, dried goods having slightly declined. The better qualities of Planta tion Ceylon Coffee have been dealt in to a fair extent at about former values, but easier rates have been current for the low and inferior descrip tions. Cocoa has been in good demand at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. In Fruit the deal ings, for the time of year, have been exceedingly active at full values. Rice contindes dull, with little change to record in prices. For saltpetre the inquiries in the general market have not been extensive ; at public sale Bengal qualities sold at rather lower rates. The public sales of foreign and colonial wool have proceeded with much steadiness during the past week, and the rates established at the commencement of the series have in all instances been fully supported. The tallow market continues rather quiet ; little variation, however, can be noticed in quotations. P.Y.C. on the spot is at Ms. 9d. to 555.; and last three months, 555. 9d. per cwt. _ _ _ The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and 8,000 bales were sold at about pre vious values. In the Railway Share Market a better tone was apparent, and prices exhibited an improvement. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The £43,000 by the Etna has been taken for the Continent. The demand for money is rather less active, but no alteration has taken place in the terms of discount. It appears that the engagements due yesterday, the 4th of the month, were met without thcslightest difficulty. • Trade continues in a very healthy state, and as ample facilities are now obtainable, failures are necessarily of rare occurrence. The meeting of the Madras Railway Company was held to-day, when a report, showing a very satisfactory progress in the works, was read and adopted. The resolution was also agreed to for converting the 3d extension shares into stock. The report was adopted. At the half-yearly meeting of the Great Lux embourg Company, to-day, a dividend of ls. per share was declared. The accounts showed the net receipts to have exceeded those of the year pre ceding by £7,560. The net earnings of the Canal were £857 18s. 4d. Only a portion of the obliga tions sanctioned last meeting had been issued, and the amount to be derived from the issue of the re mainder would be sufficient for the completion of the extension lines to the Luxembourg and French frontiers, so that no further capital would be re quired. The report was adopted unanimously. An advance of per cent. has taken place in the market for English Stocks, and other Securities, notwithstanding the quietude of business, also tend upwards. The respective markets are exceed ingly inactive, but the position of monetary affairs, the advices from the Continent, and the improve ment in the Paris Bourse are all in favour of prices. Consols, which closed yesterday at 94-Z 95, are now 95 to 95A-- for money and account. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 951 ; Long An nuities at 18 ; and Exchequer Bills at 275. prem. ; Bank Stock remains at 2221; India ditto at 221 f ; and thelDebentures, 1858, are 94k. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is mode rately active, and prices continue firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 81 to 83 ; ditto New Loan, 71 to 73 ; Mexican have advanced to 19, Buenos Ayres De ferred to 18k, Russian 5 per Cents. to 113, and Venezuelan New 2i.• per Cents. to 29 1. Dutch 4 per Cents. are steady, at 100, ; and Austrian (1859) 5 per Cents. at 77. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been of an extremely limited character, and the variations have not been important. North- Western and North British declined 55., and Great Westerns 10s. Lancashire and Yorkshire improved 55., and North-Eastern (Berwick) 10s. In the Foireignandeolonial Markets the dealings have shown little variation. Lombardo-Venetiau Old Shares were nominally 101 101, and the New 101. to 101. Great Luxembourg brought 61 to 61. East Indian improved to 981 to 99 ; and Great Indian Peninsula declined to 96. Grand Trunk of Canada were at 331 to 331, and Great Western of Canada New Shares at 91 to 97 4 . Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are exceedingly dull, at about previous quotations. Bank of Australasia, 85 to 851 ; London Char tered of Australia, 201 ; Australian Agricultural, 28 to 28; ; and Red Sea Telegraph, 131. MRITIIII FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 iper Cent.

Vivian D. Majendie, R.A. Routledge. Most readers of Bentley's Miscellany will recall the animated sketches of an officer's life with the army in India, which appeared in its pages under the above title. They are now collected and ex tended, and in a more complete form are offered to the public. The details of the mutiny are painfully familiar to us all; the journals kept du ring the weary days of expectation in besieged towns or lonely forts ; the memoirs of those who have added to the long list of martyrs, or who have followed their duty to the death ; the narratives of many who formed part of the avenging army, have brought vividly before the English reader the scenes and sufferings of those troubled days. The volume be fore us, however, takes up anuther part of the story when the first volume of the history was closed, and the intensity of the national indignation was ving place to exhortations to show mercy to the Hindoos, which somewhat astonished the Anglo- Indians. The record of this year's experiences (which include the siege of Lucknow) forms a use ful supplement to the earlier narratives which were given to the public. Though Delhi had fallen before the author and his companions reached their destination, much remained to be done ; which was faithfully performed, in spite of the terrible heat and the sickness and mortality it occasioned. The details of the climate, which the author gives half-jestingly, are anything but in viting, especially when the recent temperature has enabled us to form some idea of the miseries re tulting from a march with the thermometer at 121 deg. in the tents. On one occasion, at Simeree, the victory was dearly purchased, for we are told that 160 men were placed hors de combat from the heat, the 38th Regiment alone burying twenty men in twenty-four hours. One attractive feature in this volume is that it is not entirely confined to the description of painful scenes and mournful ex periences, as so many other works of the kind have necessarily been, but some more lively and oheerful accounts are introduced in its animated pages. 'We commend it to the attention of those who are interested in the details of Anglo-Indian military life, and of all who are desirous of tracing the history of the mutiny to its conclusion. GREAT WESTERN.—We are requested to 'state that the directors of this company have decided to recom mend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum for the half-year to the 30th of June, 1859, leaving a balance of about £13,800 to be carried to the pre sent half-year, &HARE MARKET.-( THIS DAY.)

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Earl of Kintore's Estate Bill and the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway Bill were read a third time and passed. The IS - ewcastle-under-Lyme Burgess's Land Bill was considered. SALE OF GAS BILL. Several petitions were presented in favour of this bill. THE KINGSTON-UPON-HULL ELECTION.— ARREST OF COL. F. GREVILLE. The SERGEANT-AT-ARMS announced that, agreeably to the order of the Speaker, he had given instructions that Col. Greville, a member of that house, should be arrested, and he was at present in custody. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said that he was auhorised by his hon. and gallant friend, the member for Longford, to say that he was absent from the house on what he conceived important public duty, and that immediately on receiving a notice at his seat, in Ireland, he came over, and on his way he met the Deputy -Serjeant. He was also authorised to say that his hon. and gallant friend had not intended to neglect his duty, or to commit any disrespect to the house. The hon. and gallant mem ber regretted extremely the inconvenience and expense which the parties interested in the petition had been put to by his absence. Sir F. BARING said he hoped, from what the house had heard, that it would not be considered necessary to proceed further in this matter. It was not necessary to add to the painful feelings of the hon. and gallant member, and therefore he would move that he should be discharged from custody on the payment of the fees. The motion was agreed to. The committee appointed to try the merits of the King ston-upon-Hull election petition was then sworn. SUPPLY.—CLEANSING THE SERPENTINE. On the report of the Committee of Supply, agreed to yesterday morning, being brought up, Sir J. PAXTO said he thought the vote of £17,000 for the purpose of purifying the Serpentine had been agreed to rather hastily, and he thought it was quite impossible at present to say what the actual expense of the undertaking would be. Besides the steam-engines and filtering appa ratus that were to be erected would disfigure Kensington gardens. Sir J. SHE I,LEY offered some observations to the same effect, and drew attention to the state of the bed of the water, in whicth there were holes to the depth of 24 feet, which, from the facilities that existed for obtaining rubbish, might have been easily filled up. After a few words from Mr. WALTER, Sir M. FARQUHAR said the proposal agreed to in this case was merely a half measure, and would prove ineffec tual so long as the mud at the bottom of the water was per mitted to continue in its present condition, or the Ranelagh sewer was allowed to empty itself into the Serpentine. Mr. FITZROY said that he could only repeat the state ment he had made yesterday. Wheti he came into office he found there were two plans to be considered, and one of them involved an expense which it would have been im possible to estimate until the water was cleared off. The pumping machines would be used for 200 days in the year, and the expense would be only £1 a-day. The report was then agreed to, as well as the report of the votes of last night. RESERVE VOLUNTEER FREE SEAMEN BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord C. PAGET said he took that opportunity of enter ing into some explanations relative to the bill. They per ceived from an announcement in the ltoniteur that in France there was to be a partial disarmament of the forces both on sea and land ; and therefore it might be considered that the present time was premature to bring forward this bill, but he was of a con trary opinion. By this bill it was not proposed to increase the naval force, but to have the same means of recruiting and reserve for the navy that existed for the army. The principle of a militia for this purpose was established in other countries, and he could not help feeling surprised at no such provision being made in a country like this which owed so much to its navy. [LEFT SITTING.] THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—May I ask you to insert the enclosed answer to my letter addressed to the Chairman of the United Trades ? Yours obediently, 33, Grosvenor-street, Aug. 3. KINNAIRD. "National Association of United Trades, 269, Strand, Aug. 3. "My Lord,—ln reply to the letter which I had the honour of receiving from your lordship last night, I beg in the first place to return the thanks of the executive committee of this association for enabling us to remove any erroneous impression which may exist with reference to our position in the matter referred to. " This association has no connexion whatever with the United Building Trades,' has not partici pated in what is called the Nine Hours' Move ment,' and has no official communication from the managing body of the building trades upon the subject. " The only part this committee has taken in the movement was to publish a letter in the London weekly newspapers on the 4th of February last, soliciting the building trade to assist us in passing through the Legislature the bill for establishing Councils of Conciliation and Arbitration, introduced by Mr. Mackinnon, and pointing out the supe riority of that method of settling disputes to the irrational, wasteful, and injurious system of strikes. "Whenever circumstances have brought any of my colletigues into the company of members of the building trades, they have uniformly expressed the opinion that they would fail in a movement the object of which was opposed to the generally established custom of other trades, and to the prin ciple legally recognised in the Ten Hours' Factory Act, and they have stated, as y ou r Lordship sug gests, that it would b e f ar b et t er f or them t o as k for the Satur.lay half-holyday, now so generally recognised among all classes of employers, as bene ficial alike to masters and men. " That is the full extent of our interference in the unhappy contest which is likely to lead to so much suffering, and to create sa much angry feeling on both side s . P er h aps I may b e permi tted to add that this association was founded in 1845 for the express pu r p ose of putting an en d to strikes by substituting impartial and amicable mediation and arbitration, and the experience of the last 13 years has amply shown the superiority and advan tages of that course of procedure. " We have only failed in some instances because no legislative powers exist to make agreements binding, and seeing this our efforts have been directed for the last five years to amend what we consider a defect in the law of this country. " In 1854 we publi s h e d a pamphlet on the causes of strikes, and setting forth the state of the law with respect to arbi trat i on and magisterial juris diction in the case of trade disputes. "In 1856, public opinion having somewhat ripened upon the subj ect, we ass i sted Mr. Mackin non in obtaining a sel ec t comm i ttee of the House of Commons, which colle c t e d a large amount of valu able and practical evidence, and reported in favour of the amendment of the existing law. " In 1838, and again i n th e present year, care fully prepared bills have been introduced into the tk i e ae s k u i b u j n e o c n t t ; h a r n o u d g h 1 the beg in to assure s H t r o u u m s e e nyottoauClriotmiyolin.odof x lordship thatplorn. severe in our efforts to int ro d uce i nto t hi s country tribunals for dealing with trade disputes similar to the Conseds des P rudhomnzes' spoken of so highly House of Lords, but with such alterations as will adapt t tglhieaul on Tuesday evening in the habits and the customs of this .e in r tobcou'iltrty. Lordh I will Bou confer a favour upon myself and col leagues if your lordship will give the same publicity to this reply as to the letter which elicited it. "I have the honour to be, my Lord, your lord ship's most obedient servant, " G. A. FLEMING, President. " The Right Hon. Lord Kinnaird." ELECTION INTELLIGENCE'. DARTMOUTH.

ELECTION COMMITTEES. HUDDERSFIELD. This committee re-assembled yesterday at eleven o'clock. On the admission of the public, The Chairm an announce d that the committee had come to the following resolution : " That it has not been proved that the sitting member has been guilty of bribery, treating, and undue influence, either by himself or his agents." The decision was hailed with loud and prolonged cheering, the crowd evidently labouring under the impression that Mr. Leatham was triumphant, and the inquiry therefore brought to a close. The Chairman said—As this is the first decision which has been given with reference to the act of last session, the committee wish me to state, for the information of counsel, that they consider that the travelling expenses which have been proved to have been paid to voters by the agents of the sit ting member are illegal under the 21st and 22d of Victoria, cap. 87, but do not render the sitting , member guilty of bribery under the Corrupt Prac tices Act. Mr. Sergeant Pigott expressed his conviction that the decision of the committee on the point Was sound law. Mr. Maule said that his client, Mr. Akroyd, claimed the seat and intended to proceed with the scrutiny, and he would therefore ask that the com mittee should first hear the recriminatory evidence by which his learned friend proposed to show that Mr. Akroyd was disqualified from sitting for Hud dersfield. Mr. Phinn thought it would b 9 waste of time to go into that case until the scrutiny had proceeded so far as to give Mr. Akroyd a majority of votes. The room was cleared, and the committee re mained some time in consultation. On the re-ad mission of the parties, The Chairman announced that the committee thought that the'proper course to be taken was, that the petitioners should proceed with the alle gations of the petition. Mr. Slade then proposed to strike the name of George Moxon off the poll, on the ground that he had been bribed. Mr. Phinn then applied for an adjournment. It was, however, decided to proceed with the scrutiny. Two cases were investigated, when Mr. Phinn again applied for an adjournment, which re quest was then acceded to by the committee. Adjourned until 11 o'clock this day. LEICESTERSHIRE (NORTH). The committee, after consulting for four hours yesterday, re-assembled this morning at 12 o'clock. At half-past 1 the public were admitted, when The CHAIRMAN said that the committee had ar rived at the following resolution : " That the Right Hon. Lord John Manners and E. B. Hartopp, Esq., were duly elected knights of the shire for the northern division of the county of Leicester." LIMERICK. This committee assembled to give their decision yesterday morning. Mr. MIL/siES GASKELL, the Chairman, said that the committee had unanimously arrived at the following decision : " That Major Gavin is duly elected a citizen to serve in the present Parliament for the county of the city of Limerick. " That certain riotous and tumultuous proceedings took place at and after the last election for the said city, but that it was not proved to your committee that such proceedings took place at the instigation er with the sanction of Major Gavin or his agents. " That no application was made to the returning-officer for the adjournment of the poll in consequence of such pro ceedings, and that it was not proved to your committee that they were of such duration, or of such a character as to prevent the votes of the electors from being recorded." PRESTON. This election committee met for the first time yesterday morning, Mr. Phillips in the chair. The other members of the committee were Mr. Byng, Colonel Wynne, Mr. Davey, and Mr. Abel Smith. Counsel for the petition, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Johnson ; and for the sitting member, Mr. Phinn, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Pigott, and Mr. Barry. The petition alleged hribery, treating, and undue influence, and prayed that the election might be declared void. The formal proof of the return of the writ hay ing been put in, Mr. Knowles opened the case of the petitioners, observing that the class of people chiefly bribed were the old franchise men of Preston, and the bribery consisted in the improper employment of those men as canvassers, on condition of their voting for Mr. Grenfell. He should also prove treating. John Leach, a tailor, of Preston, was first called, and deposed that he was engaged at the last elec tion as secretary to the Trinity Ward Committee of which a Mr. Ambler was the chairman and Mr. S. Smith the secretary. He had seen Ambler and a person named Riding (an alleged agent) at the Three Tuns publichouse, which was one of Mr. Grenfell's committee-rooms. On the morning of the election Ambler gave witness a sovereign to give to a voter named Quayle. On Taesd ay, after the election, he was at the Three Tuns, and Ambler was there with a bag of money. Witness called out the names of the voters employed as canvassers and as they were called out they came into the room and were paid £l. In two cases he saw the money paid himself. He himself received £2 10s. for his services, which he did not consider sufficient. In cross-examination he stated that it bad been customary to employ a krge number of canvassers, at Preston, and he believed it was a very common thing for them to get drunk at elections. (Laughter.) He denied that he had said he would pay Ambler out unless he settled his claim. He said he could do so, and he probably might have said it with a mysterious nod of the head. (Laughter.) He mentioned it to a few old friends. It was false to say that he had been guilty of tampering with a pawn-ticket, but he acknowledged that he had been spoken of as a clever electioneering agent, and had spoiled the voting papers of a candidate at the election for guardians, in consequence of which another person was elected. (Laughter.) Thomas Taylor, an old franchise man, and a shoe maker of Preston, stated that Lawrenson (an alleged agent of Mr. Grenfell) took him on the day of the election to Lund's beerhouse. He had been to Riding's house in the morning to see if he could get any money for the election. When at the Odd Fellows' Arms, Farnwerth gave Lawren son eight half-crowns, which the latter gave him, saying he should have 10s. more when he had voted. He then went and plumped for Grenfell, but got so drunk afterwards that he did not go for the 10s., and never had it since. James Barton, a factory operative, deposed that he was present when the transaction referred to by the last witness took place, and saw Lawrenson gig e the money to Taylor. He went to the Odd Fellows' Arms because there was something to eat and drink stirring. (Laughter.) David Shaw, a machine maker, stated that he was an old franchise man, and voted at the last election for Grenfell—a plumper. He received £1 15s. for voting. That was because he was put down as a canvasser. He had come there to tell the truth, and not lies. He did not know who gave him the money. (After- some recollection.) The money was paid him by Mr. Constantine. Mr. Phinn—Have you had a drop of drink 'W ilily ? Witness—Well, I have tasted; but what odds is that to you ? I've had a cup of coffee and some thing good in it, but not good enough, for I wanted a sup 'of whisky, but they would not let me have it. (Laughter.) I'll pay for some for you, if you like. I'm lively now, but not so lively as when I've had a drop more. You should see me then. (Laughter.) I've had a gill of porter and two penn'orth of whisky, nowt else, I swear ; and I tell you I'm a Lancashire lad, and have got my clogs on. , (Laughter.) Thomas Smith, a loomer, stated that he was an old franchise man for Preston. He remembered the last election and going to Mr. Grenfell's committee room. Some days before the election he saw ' Hollings, Ludell, and Bradley (alleged agents of Mr. Grenfell) there. He went there more than once. On the second time he went there one of , them gave him 25., and said, " You must get some subsistence." He got the money for canvassing. He went to the committee-room again, and got ls. ; then he vt ent to his work till night, and at night he canvassed. The men canvassed one another, ' there's no way else but that. Some of the can vassers canvassed him, and he canvassed others, When they were altogether they were in the com mittee-room. He polled for Grenfell and Cross. Some other witnesses were then examined, but their evidence was precisely to the same effect, and the committee djourßed. BRIGHTON _RA( ES.—(This Day.)

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday, at the Waterloo station, at two o'clock. The chair was occupied by Capt. Mangles. The report, which has already appeared in The Sun having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said if the circumstances and position of the company had not altered within the last few days, he should have felt it his duty to have occupied the time of the proprietors for a much longer period than was now necessary. (Hear) The change to which he alluded of course related to the differences which had existed between this company and the Brighton—(hear, hear)—but he was happy to say that in the course of a few days terms of peace would be signed. (Hear.) The directors had great plea sure in stating that a mutual agreement had been come to with the Brighton company ; each company had given way to a certain extent without sacrificing principles, and the result, he trusted, would be a peace more lasting, perhaps, than that of Villafranca. (Hear, hear, hear, and laughter.) The chairman then entered into explanations with respect to the increased expenditure of the company, which he said had been caused by the extended demands o 1 trade, and therefore many Were of an exceptional nature. The old bridges on the Guildford junc tion, which were of wood, had been removed, and had been replaced with new ones constructed of bricks. The con version of several of the old first and second into second and third class carriages had caused an expenditure which would not again occur until new carriage's were required. The directors had thought it proper to subscribe to the West London extension line, as it was felt that the Kensington station would be of great advantage to this line. With respect to the Charing-cross railway station the directors left the question of an extension thereto en tirely to the proprietors. The directors did not think badly of their Waterloo station, and the extension if made, would only be done by incurring an enormous expense, and he also thought that there were certain difficulties in the way which would prevent its completion for a considerable time. The chairman concluded his observations by moving the adoption of the report. After a long discussion, in which Mr. Herapath, Mr. Pincher, and several other shareholders took part, The adoption of the report was agreed to. A dividend, at the rate of 41 per cent, per annum, was declared, payable on the 20th of August. FOREIGN MINES 20 1 35 20 5 1 I, Ii 4i I Australian Bon AccordCopper,Lim Brazil. Imp.

ROBINS AND ANOTHER. This is an appeal from a decision of Sir C. Cresswell, Judge-Ordinary of the Court of Probate refusing probate on the will of the late Mrs. Dolphin, executed in Francs. Their lordships were of opinion (in which Lord Brougham, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Wensleydale had expressed their entire concurrence) Ist., That the Scotch divorce did not dissolve the English marriage ; 2d, that Mrs. Dolphin's domicile was the English domicile of her husband; and 3d, that Mrs. Dolphin had not acquired a French domicile, and that being a married woman she could not make a will in France according to tho law of England. Their lordships affirmed the decision of Sir Cresswell Cresswell, and dismissed the appeal, without costs. LAW INTELLIGBNCE.(THIS DAY.) SECONDARIES COURT BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE-DAMAGES, 1250.- DAVIS V. MOSES This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in a breach of promise of marriage —defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Harrison for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Pigott, for the plaintiff, opened the case at some length, and stated that the parties to this suit are of the Jewish persuasion. Plaintiff, a young lady aged 35, is the daughter of a deeper carrying on business in the St. John-street-road, and defendant, aged 37, is a jeweller, of Oxford-street. The parties became acquainted four years ago at the house of a mutual acquaintance named Davis. After much visiting and many love episodes, defendant pro posed for the hand of Miss Davis, and was accepted. But between Sept., 1858, and Jan., 1859, obstacles appeared to arise to prevent the desired consummation. Defendant averred in his epistles that his mother was against the match, and that his father was • of the same mind as the " missu.s." (Laughter.) In fact, his father wished him to marry a maiden of their own choice. Defendant, who had previously declared himself to be very well off, now said that money matters was one cause of the non-fulfilment of his contract, His mother had threatened to go down to Portsmouth and take the money from his (defendant's) name, placing it in that of his brother. Under all these circumstances, defendant being scarcely of an age when be could judge for himself in the matter of a wife, the learned sergeant called upon the jury to award plaintiff such da mages as would in some degree recompense her for the breach of promise committed by defendant. Mrs. Davis (plaintiff's mother), examined by Mr. Sleigh, proved the above statement, and said that defendant had frequently stated that he had money and a good business ; he had no objection to her friends knowing of his proposi tion to marry defendant, but he wished it kept secret from his own. Defendant was well off, and his uncle had died lately and left him a legacy. Cross-examined—Our families had been intimate for years. Defendant was a very frequent visitor at our house. Sometimes two or three times a day. (Laughter.) He keeps a jeweller's shop. He sells Dutch Blocks. (Laughter.) The intended marriage was broken off because he would not inform his parents of it, and my daughter would not consent to a clandestine match. When the matter was broken off defendant offered £lOO in two bills at six and twelve months. (Laughter.) This was of course refused. Plaintiff was in business before the proposals made by de fendant, but at the request of that person gave it up. Be-examined—Plaintiff had suffered much in ' health through the breach of defendant's promise. Mr Davis stated that defendant had declared that he did not want any money with " Betsy " having plenty of his own. Witness said he would give his consent to the mar riage, but could not give his daughter any money. Plaintiff, and sister, with an apprentice, earned 255. per week at shoe-binding, but this had been given up at de fendant's request. laintiff was taken seriously ill after the refusal of defendant to fulfil his engagement, and was visited by a physician. After he had attended her for a day or two he pronounced that she suffered from some "sudden shock." Witness then' told him the cause. He said he• could not administer to a diseased mind. Witness fancied himself that the reason defendant did not perform his promise was because he (witness) could not give Betsy £5OO or £l,OOO. Defen dant sold American and French as well as Dutch clocks. Defendant also dealt in expensive china. Mr. Harrison—Anything else beside the crockery? (Laughter.) Mr. Sleigh—Oh ! don't call it crockery—it is valuable china. (Roars of laughter.) Witness—Defendant never said he not the means to keep a wife. A witness, called by Mr. Sleigh, said that one day he was hailed by defendant; who said that he did not mind the intended marriage being talked about in plaintiff's family, adding, " I only want it kept secret till the old man's death, and then I shall have £5OO. Come and have a drop of brandy. lam worth £1,400, and don't use £10." No one was present at this conversation. Mr. Simmonds produced the pr.late of a will under which defendant took £5OO, dated 21st April, 1859. Mrs. Davis, at whose house defendant had courtedplain e - f plain tiff, stated that Mr. Moses had notified his intention marrying plaintiff. Witness told him he could not better. He also said it was now time he threw off the yoke d , o alluding to his parents. (Laughter.) Sleigh— e L hto throw off the yoke. (Roars o thirty seven agree with him. A young man of_ f laughter.) the Mr. Sleigh then addressed t he j ur y , Plaintiff was entitled to the ful l amount in declaration, and contended that iota. Defendant was an £6OO. Not one thing had been brought out that could mitigate the damages one and not a boy entrapped into a intelli gent Moses vas no chicken, and it marriage seven, r. time he threw off the yoke. ( Laughter .) Under all the man byof thirty circumstances, plaintiff was entitled to far more than the amount claimed. Mr. Harrison ' thought the case had been exaggerated against defendant. It was understood to be made out that Mr. Moses was a person of great importance, but he (Mr. H.) still stuck by the crockery and Dutch clocks. (Laughter.) Sergeant Pigott had been brought down to nestle in his silk, as though this was most important case —but the parties were really in moderate stations of life. After generally addresting the jury in mitigation, Mr. Harrison concluded a very able speech, 'and The learned Secondary pointed out that the jury had to assess the damages, and after a h s ort deliberation the jury found for plaintiff. Damages, £250. • The court was crowded with members of the Jewish i per suasion, of both sexes, who appeared to take great interest in the proceedings.
