Business has been moderately active in the °r eign and Colonial P ro d uce M ar k e t s d ur i ng th e l ast few days, and prices generally have been well eliPported. Tea, however, has been dull; sugars Vere in good demand, particularly the better qualities of British West India, and in the refined market a fair business has been done at full prices. For coffee there has been a moderate inquiry, and in some instances rather hi gher rates have been realised. The dealings in 'lee are limited, but no change has taken place in !Cues. Fruit has been in steady demand, a consi derable business having been recorded in low and ined iani qualities of currants at former prices. Salt i' b vtre has been in steady request, but tallow has !gain shown a great depression, the decline amount ing to about 6d. to ls. per cwt. uziccounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton 441 rIcet yesterday closed heavily, and 8,000 bales IVere sold at, in some instances, id. per lb. lower. 1 , 11 the Railway Share Market the transactions were h a i t iLer more extensive, and prices generally ex leited an improvement.

LAW INTE. TIIIS DAY.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) PENHALO.N AND OTHERS V. THE MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR BOARD. The further hearing of this case was resumed this morning. The plaintiffs were the owners of the ship Sierra Nevada, bound from the Chincha Islands to Liverpool, and sued the defendants to recover damages for injuries sustained by rea son of the negligence and improper conduct of the defend ants in allowing a large bank of mud to accumulate in the Wellington Half-tide Dock at Liverpool, which rendered the dock unfit for use, and caused the vessel wa striking thereon to break her back. It appeared that the vessel in question was built in 1854 by the celebrated Ameri can builders, Messrs. Tobin and Littlefield, at Ports mouth, New Hampshire, United States, and was of 1,942 tons register. Her first voyage was to the Chincha Islands, for a cargo of guano. About 2,400 tons were obtained, and taken in through the ports in the second deck, preparations have been previously made so as to admit of the weight being equally distributed about the hold of the vessel. She was returning to the Hampton Road, and when rounding Cape Horn encountered the usual rough weather that it almost invariably met with there, and it was found that she made very little water, and performed her voyage in a satisfactory manner. The keel of the vessel was per fectly straight and unusually strong, and if at any time there is any disarrangement of the keel, or kelson, the ends of the planking in the immediate neighbourhood would open and water be admitted. If a vessel bends or curves downwards she, what sailors call, " sags," and, as a matter almost, of course, lets in water. Sagging has another effect—the mainmast of a vessel rests on the kelson, which is a large piece of wood running along the top of the keel, and in this ship she got additional and very considerable strength from the fact that she had what aro called sister kelsons, one fastened on either side of the kelson. The mast is secured by what are termed the shrouds. If a vessel sags or sinks in the keel or spine of the ship, as a matter of course the mainmast would sink and, necessarily, the shrouds be less taut; the very con struction of the vessel prevents the possibility of the under part of her suffering without distinct indications of w1 ,4 . t . is going on exhibiting themselves above. There is a'diffe once in putting a ship together existing between the American and English mode; in the latter method the planking is put on to the ribs, and the ceiling, as it is termed—that is, a lining with planks to form the hold—placed on the upper side of the ribs, and tho whole secured by a bolt running entirely through them; while in the former method the planking is fastened on to the ribs from the outside, and the ceiling from the inside to the ribs, and it is a matter of opinion as to which is the better or stronger plan to adopt ; the stanchions are upright, springing from the kelson, and across which - the ship's beams go ; and in the Sierra Nevada the beams and stanchions were secured to one another by metal fastenings, so that one part alone could not be pushed up if the vessel "hogged" or curved up, or sink if the vessel " sagged ;" all must be moved in either event. The Sierra Nevada arrived in the Mersey on the 12th &April, and in attempting to get into the dock her progress was interrupted by, as the plaintiffs say, a mud bank rising above the sill of the dock. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and that the ship was not the property of the plaintiffs. Mr. Wilde, Mr. Cleasby, Mr. Aspinall, and Mr. Lush ington were counsel for tho plaintiffs ; Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Edward James, Mr. Forsyth, and Mr. Quain represented the defendants. The case had not concluded when we went to press. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) SINGULAR ACTION OF TROYER AND DETINUE.-. HAMILTON V. PARLOW. This was an action of trover, damages laid at £10; and there was another count for detinue, plaintiff alleging that defendant had illegally seized and detained certain clock movements, the property of plaintiff. Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, stated that Dr. Hamil ton had purchased some time ago certain clock movements of a person named Bevan. Bevan was in arrears with the landlord (defendant), who distrained, and seized two of the clock movements, hence the present action. Plaintiff fully bore out the statement ; and, in cross-exa mination by defendant, said ho knew that Bevan had been charged criminally with pledging certain watches entrusted to him to repair. He was not, nor had ho been, in partner ship with Bevan. Bevan agreed to take the movements at the condemned price. Defendant contended that the seizure was perfectly regular; that plaintiff and Bevan wore mixed up together, and, in fact, plaintiff had assisted Bevan in his business. Mr. Buchanan said there was no evidence to warrant such a statement. His Honour said—lf defendant thought he could make out anything, he could bring up Bevan by habeas corpus. As far as the evidence went, it was positively sworn that these movements were plaintiff's property, and as such, plaintiff was extitled to recover. Defendant then said ho would give up the movements. Mr. Buchanan observed that plaintiff would rather have the money. Defendant—The movements are not worth £lO. llis Honour—Then, this case must be adjourned at do Pendant's cost, to produce evidence as to value.

This was an action for rent (tl2) of a room in a house in Cheapside, held by defendant. His Honour—ls there an agreement ? Mr. Do Jersey (for plaintiff) —There is one. His Honour held out his hand for it, and it was passed over to Mr. Osgood (chief clerk), who said it was un stamped. Mr. De Jersey then called plaintiff's foreman who proved occupation. His Honour—Well you can't ask him anything about the rent. Were tho prom;ses worth £l2 Witness—• Yes. His Honour—Judgment for plaintiff. Pay in ten days. Economising to the extent of 2s. 6d. frequently is the cause of great loss. TAYLOR V. SMITIL-IMPORTANT TO THE WINE TRADE. This was an action to recover damages sustained in con sequence of the non-delivery of certain cases of brandy. Mr. Clarke, of Bedford-row, for the plaintiff, proved by witnesses that the plaintiff had been compelled to pay a third person, who had ordered the brandy, damages. Plaintiff said that he had been put to considerable trouble in addition to expense through defendant's breach of con tract. His Honour found for plaintiff with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A BRACE OF ARTFUL PI CKPOCKETS.—John Hussell and James Hewitt, two lads, were charged as follows : Enoch Cook, 70 C, said that at half-past four the previ ous afternoon, while in plain clothes in Jermyn-street, he saw the prisoner Hewitt put his hand into a gentleman's pocket, Hussell being close at his side at the time. The gentlemen struck Hewith with his umbrella, and they crossed the street. Ho followed them about for half an hour, keeping his eye on them,' and they continued together all the time. Hussell stopped at the corner of Bond-street in Piccadilly and tried a gentleman's pocket there, and they then joined company again and tried other pockets. Hussell—Now, then, speak it out. You speak loud enough, but you'r thinking of what you shall say. (Laughter.) Cook (in continuation) said he then got into a doorway, and having got assistance took them into custody. Hewitt was very violent on the way. Russell—l had no grub, and did make one attempt. The policeman said he was waiting till he had us "to rights" and did the deed. Cooic said they refused to give any account of themsolves. Hussell—l gave my address last night. Mr. Beadon said he gave a very different one now. Hussell—Ah; but I did not know the name of the street I was living in then. Remanded. THAMES. CAUTION TO ESSEX WAGGONERS.—Edward Featon, hay and straw dealer, of Dagenham, Essex, aged 41, surrendered on bail before Mr. Selfe, to answer a charge of being drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and cart, and also with driving the same without reins, in the Whitechapel road. William Dodsworth, a police-constable, No. 458 A, stated that he saw the prisoner fast asleep in his cart, drawn by ono horse, on Saturday afternoon last, in the Whitoehapel road. The reins had fallen from the prisoner's hands, and the horse was without a guide. He stopped the animal and gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Selfe--In what direction was the horse and cart pro ceeding .., Dodsworth—Towards Essex, sir. The prisoner was re turning from the Whitechapel hay-market, whore ho had been with a load of hay. _ _ Mr. Selfe—Was he drunk or sober ? Dodsworth—The prisoner was very drunk, Sir. The prisoner said the liquor he had drank had got the bettor of him, but if the policeman had not interfered with him he should have reached Dagenham in safety. Mr. Selfe said the police constable had acted most pro perly, and if he had not interfered he would have ne glected his duty. The practice of driving without reins was a most dangerous one, and many accidents had arisen in consequence. If the policeman had not stopped the horse and cart, it was very probable serious mischief would have ensued in such a crowded thoroughfare as the White chapel-road. There had been frequent convictions of Essex carters and waggoners who had fallen asleep in their carts while returning from market ; if the practice was not discontinued, some examples must be made. The prisoner had aggravated his offence by not surrendering during yes terday, and putting his surety in danger of forfeiting 45. He would net, however, estreat the recognisance, but fine the prisoner 20s. The fine was instantly paid. - ...111•10 Company, Bodford-row, Dec. 16, at twelve, and Jan. 12, at two, at the Court of Bankruptcy.

This morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, a destructive fire took place on the extensive premises of Mr. Lewis Jacobs, wholesale boot and shoe maker, 124, High-street, Whitechapel, which was attended with nearly fatal consequences to 11 persons. The fire was discovered by police-constable Cooper, 27 H, who observed smoke issu ing from the workshops, situated in Castle-alley. He in stantly raised an alarm, and dispatched a messenger for Samuel Wood, the conductor of the Royal Fire-escape at Whitechapel-church, which promptly arrived on the spot, and just at a most critical moment, as eleven persons presented themselves at the second floor windows. The most piteous cries for help were heard, and the position of the inmates was truly alarming. Tho conductor of the fire-escape, with his usual promptitude, placed his machine against the burning building, and after considerable exer tion he succeeded in miraculously rescuing the whole 11 persons from their perilous situation. The engines of the different fir; brigades were imme- diately put in operation, under the direction of Mr. John Bridges, foreman of the district; and it was only after some hours' constant labour that the fire was extinguished —not, however, until the premises were entirely destroyed, and considerable damage done to the adjoining houses. The origin of the fire is unknown, but the property was insured. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Samuel Wood for his intrepid and gallant conduct on the occasion. He was so much exhausted with the exertion that he had to be con veyed to the Swan Tavern opposite, in a state of insensi bility. Medical assistance was promptly given, but it was upwards of half-an-hour before he revived. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'-YESTEILDAY. An attendance commensurate with the dull period of the year, and a few bets only made on the Derby. 8 to 1 was offered against Umpire, but with no response. Still the American turfmen do not appear to bo discouraged, for they have sent over a challenge to take 100 to 1 that Umpire wins the Derby and Goodwood Cup, and that the " Benicia Boy" beats the redoubtable Tom Sayers for the championship of the English Prize Ring. Thormanby and High Treason were backed for £5O each at the odds quoted. The Drone, who had been backed in the City for £lOO, was supported at 1,000 to 40. CLOSING PRICES. TIIR MIRY.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—The captain of the ship John Wood, which arrived at Liverpool yester day from. Singapore, observed on the 18th of August last, while in lat. 25 21 S, long. 57 22 E, an eclipse of the moon. The observation was taken at eight p.m. NATIONAL DEFENCE COMMISSION.—The National Defence Commissioners, Major-Gen. Sir H. Jones, Gen. Cameron, Sir F. Abbott, Col. Lefroy, Major Jervois, Mr. Ferguson, Capt. Key, and Lieut. Jones, arrived at the Im perial Hotel, Cork, on Thursday evening, from Dublin, which they left at 1 o'clock that day, for the purpose of in specting the harbour and its approaches. THE FOUR LIVERPOOL MERCHANTS.—The Liver pool correspondent 'of the Manchester Guardian writes : " Nothing definite transpired on Saturday relating to the correspondence between four gentlemen in Liverpool and the Emperor of tno French. It is stated, however, that the letter in question was written by the four gentlemen while enjoying the pleasures of a full board' one evening, about a fortnight since. Nothing serious was dreamt of—the letter was posted, but a reply was never anticipated. So little was the affair thought of that a copy of the letter to the Emperor was not even kept, and the whole matter was . looked upon as a good joke. Judge of the consternation of these four gentlemen when, on Friday, they received a let • ter in reply to theirs, written by an official personage, but which not one of the four could read , as it was written in the French language. The conduct of the writers of the letter to the Emperor was met with a hearty denunciation by nearly all the local papers." M. LAMARTINE'S DEBTS. -- The Journal de Saone-at-Loire of Maeen, of the 30th, says :—" M. do La martine left yesterday for Paris. No purchaser having come forward for his estates, and the national subscription having only produced about 160,000 f., to pay more than 2,500,000 f. of debts, M. de Lamartine was obliged to ask for time. He called all his creditors (more than 400) toge ther at the Chateau of Montceau, and proposed to give to them his estates, the value of which exceeded his liabilities. He also stated that, notwithstanding the insufficiency of the national subscription, he had paid to his creditors, in 18 months, out of the produce of his literary labours, a sum, of 1,200,000 f., and engaged to pay, in January and Feb ruary next, a further sum of 300,000 f ; so that his debts would be reduced to 1,000,000 f. He therefore solicited the indulgence of dividing his payments into three or four in stalments, hoping, he said, by labour and economy, to pay every one in full. However inconvenient it might be for several among the creditors to have their debts settled in these small payments, yet not one of them opposed the pro position." DELIBERATE ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, between six and seven, considerable sensation was created in Caroline-street, Princes-road, Lambeth, in con sequence of a dreadful attempt at suicide made by Mr. Qeorge Garcy, aged 56 years, who resided at No. 5 in that street. It appears that the unfortunate man got up shortly after six o'clock, and went downstairs into his garden, when he deliberately drew a razor across his throat, inflict ing a most frightful gash, by which he nearly severed the windpipe and carotid artery. He then walked into the bask kitchen and sat down in a chair. On his son coming down stairs he was horrified at discovering his father in a pool of blood. He was instantly conveyed to St. Thomas's Hos pital, where Mr. Thos. Nloreton, the house surgeon, ren dered every assistance, but no hopes are entertained of his recovery. No cause is assigned for the suicidal act. LITERATURE. The Ronzan or Turkish Bath. 13 7 William Potter, of Manchester. Bvo. pp. 48. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. We only wish, on glancing at the titlekpage-of this little pa mp hl et (after turning over its leaves), that we could read there also that Mr. Potter was of London as well as of Manchester. Whenever he himself; or any emulator of his munificent enterprise in' the good city of :Manchester, shall venture at last to open in the metropolis a similar establishment in every respect to that described in these pages, we are perfectly well satisfied that a very little time indeed would be required 'to elapse before the speculation in question would prove itself to be singularly remunerative. The only approxi mation to theSe baths in this great capital of ours that we can call to remembrance was one a very few years back flourishing in St. James's —admir ably salubrious and delightful baths, opencd in that central part of the West-end by an eminent surgeon, one of our greatest public benefactors and practical philanthropists, Mr. George Alfred Walker, who has the glory and honour (never yet recompensed by the public) of having, single-handed, destroyed the detestable and pernicious system of intramural interment. Since those admirable baths were acci dentally destro3 ed by fire in St. James's there has been a distinct opening in London for precisely such an enterprise as that some time since estab lished by Mr. Potter, and now flourishing i e Clif ford-street, Oxford-road, in the city of Manchester. What this bath is—this original Turkish or Roman bath--any one . :may learn in ten or twenty mi nutes, by glancing through the pages of this agreeable pamphlet —a perusal of which almost tempts one .to take a return ticket to Manchester. The mere reading of it is so suggestive of the luxury of the operation of the bath itself that it is almost like swallowing a spoonful of that Won derful green aromatic hashish devoured at bliss ful intervals (as though it were the very am brosia of the gods) by Edmund, Comte de Monte Christo! TEE LAW OF LIBEL. The discussion upon the question of how far the law of blasphemous libel is consistent with freedom of opinion was yesterday evening resumed, at the ordinary meeting of the Juridical Society, over which Dr. Lee presided. Mr. PnistsT, Q.C., in opening the discussion, observed that when he first heard that the society was about discuss the question, it occurred to him that it was taking a wrong course, for he con sidered it one o f t h e last sujects which ought to engage their attention; but as he had since read, and reflected much upon the matter, he was in duced to alter his views, and rejoice that it had been brought forward ; for, as we were on the eve of having a new code established, it was desirable that the offence of blasphemous libel should receive in it a clear, an accurate, asd a philosophical defl ' nition, and as a means to that end the society, as a philosophical society, and one that aimed at im parting a higher character to the jurisprudence of the country, was very properly called upon, to con sider the subject of Mr. Lewis's paper. On many points he differed from the views propounded by that gentleman, not so much in regard to his state ment of the law, collected from the dicta of the judges as with respect to his application of it, and as to his views of what the law itself ought to be. He would say nothing in reference to the parti cular case which gave rise to the preparation of the paper, beyond remarking that their sentence was three times as severe as that passed on Mr. Holy oake, for his continued contempt and revilement of the Christian religion, but he would ask Mr. Lewis to favour the society with a definition of what blasphemy is ; for, so far ;the could gather from the paper that gentleman ha read to the society, he would punish as a blasphemer not only those who ever spoke against the being and attributes of God, but also any person who denied the funda mental doctrines of the Church of England, and therein seemed to confound blasphemy and heresy, which were two different and distinct offences, and a wide line ought in the admini stration of justice to be drawn between the two. The law of England in reference to the offence was taken from the law of the Jews, for it was stated in Leviticus that whoever cursed the name of the Lord should be stoned to death ; but then that was under a theocracy, and the crime amounted to treason against the invisible ruler of the people; and coming down to a later period, they found, as in the trial of Jesus Christ himself, that when the civil magistrate took cognisance of the offence it in some degree touched upon treason. The same prin ciple was observable in the remarks which Festus made to Agrippa, when St. Paul was brought before him for trial. They had the record of three celebrated trials which took place at Athens, in two of which the same principle was discernible. When Anytus, Meletus, and Lycon charged Socrates with intro ducing new gods and corrupting the youth of the state, they made the charge of blasphemy as a mere colour to punish him for his :political views ; and the same might be said of the trial of Diagoras of Milos; but in the case of Andocides, who broke and knocked down the statues of Hermes, the pro secution was a different thing, and was eery pro perly directed against him for his violent destruc tion of the objects of the people's adoration. In the records of Rome there was, so far as he was aware, no.instance of any trial for blasphemy at all, as the Romans gave the widest license to religious worship, and even permitted the introduction of the gods of Egpyt into the religion of the country. The common law of this country, however, did punish the offence, and as that portion of the juris prudence of the country was coeval with the introduction of Christianity, it was fair to as sume that the crirae to which the law applied was blasphemy, as defined by St. Augustine, who said, " Vulgo blasphemia non accipitur nisi male de Deb di cere," and that its application to cases of heresy was a gloss introduced from the canonists. Now, he took a blasphemous libel to mean a denial of the divinity, in fact, the expression of practical atheism, and it was worthy of consideration whether it was desirable that the punishment of it should be re tained in the law of this country; and in the next place should the punishment be extended to ewes beyond the denial of that belief, which was common to every race of mankind. In France all indecent and irreverent attacks upon the religion or the ministers of any sect , recognised by the law were punishable ; but in the code of Louis iana, as prepared by Mr. Livingstone, it was stated that there could be no defamation of a corporation or religion, or good morals. These were the extremes. Now, with respect to denying the sceptic the use of ridicule as a weapon, ha saw no reason for doing so, as the truth could never suffer from any attacks ; but whatever the new law might be, he hoped, that no expression of opinion bona fide given to elicit fair argument, would ever be punished as a blasphemous libel, but that the offence should stand on the same principle as a nuisance, and imply nothing more than on open in jury inflicted upon the common rights of all. Mr. SYDNEY SMITH argued that a country was bound to protect the established religion of the State. He thought the reaction which had set in on the cessation of intolerance, was going too far, and that by and by we should be tolerating everything. Mr. COLLIER, Q.C., complained that Mr. Lewis, in his paper, as published in the Solicitors' Journal, argued as if atheist and infidel were convertible terms. For himself he would apply to blasphem ous libel the rule laid down by Starkey in regard to libel in general, and leave to the jury to decide whether the publication was made bona-fide or mak' : fide. Mr. MONTAGU CHAMBERS, Q.C., argued that it would be an inconsistency in the law if it permitted the abuse and ridicule of the Deity while it guarded the meanest subject of the realm from them. Mr. DANIEL, as a Christian and a member of the Church of England, repudiated all State pro tection. He did not dread the attacks of ridicule; on the contrary, he was prepared to encounter them, and say in answer to the scoffer—" The fool bath said in his heart there is no God." With regard to protecting the young and the ignorant from the effects of blasphemou3 writings, he held that to be a matter of education to be guarded against by the parent or even by•the state. After some observations from Mr. RIELLY, the further discussion of the question was postponed to the next night of meeting. The proceedings ter minated in the usual manner. - . A CHILD KILLED BY A PIG.—On Saturday last a child belonging to Angus Mackay, Dunn, parish of Wat ten, met its death in a very shocking manner. While lying in the cradle, in the absence of the mother, a pig entered the room and attacked the infant, tearing its face and hands to a dreadful extent. The little sufferer died in a few hours chiefly through lost of blood. Dr. Robertson, Bower, was sent for, but death ensued before he arrivcd.—Northern (Wick) Ensign. • A WIFE KILLED BY HER HIISBAND.—A lament able event occurred during the night of Saturday last, at Bletchingly, a village near Reigate. It appears Mr. Brown, landlord of the Red Lion Inn, and his wife had frequent quarrels, the latter being much addicted to drink. On Sa turday evening she much annoyed some company in one of the parlours, by going in when under the influence of liquor. The company left the house between 11 and 12 o'clock, and the lodgers went to bed between 12 and 1 o'clock, leaving the husband and wife alone in the parlour. It would seem probable a quarrel sprung up between them, the husband kicking his wife so violently in the abdomen that she shortly bled to death. Mr. Sargent, surgeon, Bletchingly, was sent for, but his aid was, of course, of no avail. Mr. Bungard, superintendent of police, Godstone, proceeded to Bletch ingly, and apprehended the prisoner between two - and three o'clock in the morning, andconveyed him to one of the cella in the police-station' Godstone. Deceased was about 34 years of age • prisoner is about N. The unfortunat e womt a leaves five children.
