There appears to be a good deal of misapprehension as to the registratio n of book packets, it being supposed that, as such packets may be registered for places in the United liindom and for most of the colonies upon payment of the book postage only in addition to the registration fee of 6d., the same system is applicable to all book packets indiscri kinately, including those addressed to Franco and other forei gn countries. This, however, is not the case. Book packets cannot be registered to any . foreign countries except as letters, and there are still a few of the colonies also to which the system of registration, as regards book packets, has not yet been e ztended. The following is a list of the colonies for which book t o acket s may a t present be registered upon payment of the postage, viz.

Closing Price. 3U811141811 Done. 1 CORN EXCHANGE. __ Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat. For all kinds the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. Fine barley sold readily ; other kinds slowly, on former terms. Ther e was only a limited business doing in other kinds of pro -4 duce, at previous currencies. In the continental markets wheat has changed hands slowly. In prices, however, very little change has taken place. All spring corn has sold to a fair extent, on former terms. In the United States both grain and flour have realised Very full quotations. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad the imports were sea sonably good, viz :-10,373 quarters of wheat, 9,323 barley, 13,570 oats, 68 beans, 345 peas, 890 tares, 4,413 linseed, 6,433 rapeseed, 52 sundry seeds, '2,081 sacks and 2,043 barrels of flour. The arrivals of wheat fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, were limited, but, on the whole, in fair average condition. The attendance of both town and country millers was limited, and we had a slow inquiry for all kinds of wheat of home produce, notwithstanding that the show of samples was rather limited, at the decline noticed in the currencies on Monday last. However, the bulk of the wheat was disposed of. The show of foreign wheat was nob to say extensive. Even the finest samples were very dull, at late rates. In low and damp parcels so little was doing that the quotations were next to nominal. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow sale, but not cheaper. Fine malting barley moved off steadily at very full prices ; but grinding and distilling sorts were a slow inquiry, at late rates. For malt there was a fair demand, at very full prices. For the time of year, we were fairly supplied with oats, which moved off slowly, at last week's quotations. We had a steady, though not to say brisk, demand for beans, at full currencies. Peas changed hands slowly ; nevertheless prices were supported. I IThe flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's prig sr. 4 5i i d l arl 2/ 11 21 24 5 2 44 7i 1 - -12 &I 7 i -1- 1} Pi Si 1 4 21 37 37 8i Of PI 33i 331 53 65 (1 6 7 9 o r l 20 21 5 9 • 9 23 24.

An unusually small number of beasts, in but middling condition, came fresh to hand from our own grazing dis tricts. Notwithstanding the prevailing wet weather, the beef trade ruled brisk at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of fully 4d per 81bs. The general top figure for Scots was 5s 2d, but some few - sales were made as high as 5s 4d per 81bs, and a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,650 Scots, short-horns and crosses ; from other parts of England, 800 of various b ree d s; and from Scot land, 200 Scots. We were again very moderately supplied with nearly all breeds of sheep, the general quality •of which was by no means first rate. The mutton trade was very active,. and prices were about 4d per Blbs higher than on this day se'nnight. The best old Downs, in the wool, sold readily at fis, out of the wool, 58 4d per 81bs. About 6,500 sheep were shorn. There was a fair demand for lambs at full quotations, viz., from 6s to 7s per Blbs. The supply was small.

(Before the Lords Justices.) APPEAL.-LYDDON V. MOSS. Sir R. Bethell, Q.C., resumed his arguments for the re spondent (Mr. Moss) in this part-heard appeal, at the sitting of the Court this morning. The contention is whether the security - granted by the late Mrs. Lyddon, without professional assistance, over her estates in Yorkshire and Somersetshire, for her solicitors, taxed and untaxed bills of costs not exceeding £lO,OOO, is a good security ? The argument ir not concluded. ROLLS COURT. tßefore the Master of the Rolls.) 3UDGMENT.-COWLING V. COWLING. The Master of the Rolls said—Thin is a question on the construction of a will which is a very short ono. The question is this—the late Mr. William Pendock Cowling bequeathed, under a devise, to his wife Sarah Cowling— " all my goo d s an d f urn it ure, and all my m oney and notes that may be due to me at the time of my decease." And he declared—" this is my last will and testament." And the question is, whether, under this will and this devise the testator's intention was to give her the whole of his personal estate. The reported cases on the subject are numerous and are not easily reconcile,able. His Honourconsidered that under the words of the devise there was a specific bequest to the widow. He referred to the following decided cases illus tratingthe principles of oo,astruction insimilar cases. Milli gan, 2d vol., King's Reports, before Lord Langdale; Milne and Coventry ; 5 De Gex and Small ; Morgan, before Vice- Chancellor Sir James Parker; Godlin and Smithers ; John and George Dudgeon; Do. v. Vhomas; and Goody and Durham, before Sir John Leech. His Honour made a declaration in favour of the plaintiff. Costs of all paities to be paid out of the estate. The funds to be divided according to the specific description in the will. His Honour was of opinion that it was the intention of the testator to give his widow every thing under that description. Counsel in the cause, Mr. It. Palmer, Q.C. and Mr, Selwyn, Q.C. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS DAY. MARLIIOROUGH-STREET. TILE SUNDAY GAMBLING NUISANCE.—In the course of the morning several lads were brought up, charged with gambling in the streets on the previous day (Sunday). In the case of one of them, named Winterton, the constable, Austin, said he saw a group of lads playing at " pitch and toss," near the corner of Newport Market, and pursued him, and in his pocket found a pack of well-used cards. The clergyman who preached near the spot had complained of the conduct of the lads; and there was also a person present who wished to speak about it. A respectable tradesman got into the witness-box, and said the nuisance was of a most intolerable description. It was not-only of an afternoon, but all the whole Sunday continued ; and the language the lads made use of was of the most disgusting and obscene description. Divine ser vice took place near the spot on a Sunday, and while it was going on the gambling was continued with the greatest perseverance, cards being made use of quite publicly, by groups sometimes of a dozen. Mr. Beadon said he was determined, to put a stop to it by every means in his power. He should fine them all ss. each or seven days, and if continued he should enforce the full penalty. Richmond. Bedford ... SP NOTES. WISHES FOR WARWICK. Much has of late years been said and written to the disparagement of the Warwick meetings. The parsimonious make-money spirit which has actuated the committee of management, the supposed bias which the (with all his faults) popular C. C. has shown towards certain parties, have been attacked in clubs and censured in newspapers. Still the gathering prospers, and although the programme for the coming meeting presents little promise of abundant sport, yet the meeting will be patronised by turfites of all grades and distinctions. Leamington has already added to its usual visitors many persons of note who generally sojourn there for the race week. Horses have arrived at Warwick, and the " curious characters in cut-away- coats" congregate at corners to compare the chances in the cards. If the weather be only propitious a large assemblage will be at tracted to the course ; but at my present writing there seems no signs of change in the skyey in fluence. Although the list comprises a variety of items, yet it really suggests few comments. Amongst the entries to some of the races are the veriest duffers that ever wore a saddle; but, as large for tunes have been lost in betting upon races between maggots, it is reasonable to suppose that a struggle with bad horses, if their chances be pretty evenly balanced, will meet all the exigen cies of speculation. The insignificant class of animals amongst the acceptances for the Willoughby Handicap is pretty accurately indicated by the fact that Mysterious Jack's weight is the highest "left in." lam really at a loss to determine the relative chances, for they appear to be "much of a much ness." If Drapery can gallop at all she ought to win, and with her I must couple Charles the Second. Throughout last Season I was a staunch adherent of the King-at-A rms, who, I expe c t, w ill prove the correctness of my judgment. H e showed gameness enough, and the only ques tion arises is, " Can he stay ?". His father, however, did so before him, and why should not he? I shall not, therefore, look for a more trustworthy champion for the Trial Stakes. Farmers' Races are generally more ludicrous than interesting. They afford opportunities for the most extraordinary eccentricities of horseman ship, and, after all, amuse the spectators as much as the amateur jockeys. I do not like to deal with the probabilities for this description of race, but as Broadway Swell has repeatedly shown in public, I am inclined to think he will be able to cut out his opponents. Rattlebone, a scion of the once savage but now docile circus horse, Cruiser, will carry off the 20 sous. sweepstakes, and as the only animal of known pretensions likely to oppose him for the Two Year 0,141, Stakes on the Wednesday will be White Rose, we may place that event also to the credit side of ..Mr. T. Parr's account. For the Handicap Plate of 50 Sovs. the same horse has been weighed twice. Chaucer and the Poet are one and the same, and by what reasoning the handicapper was induced to place Est 41b on Chaucer and Est 121 b on the Poet I am at a loss to imagine. Did he handicap names or horses ? Contract and Table Bay are, I opine, most likely to show in front. The "regularly hunted" Mr, Sykes ought to gallop his opponents to death for the Debdale Stakes. Tease will win the Welter Handicap if he goes to the post. Having a partiality for animals that have shown form, I am compelled to select The Greek for the Warwickshire Handicap, albeit my belief in him would be materially shaken by the appearance of Yellow Rose amongst the starters. The " French division" have great hopes of Franc Picard's chance for the Steeplechase. They have, too, good grounds for their confidence, and I shall fully expect to see the horse figure amongst the foremost competitors. Escape will find the course somewhat more suited to him than that at Liver pool, and taking into consideration the forward position which he held in the Grand National, nearly from start to finish, I shall be prepared to see him sustain his jumping reputation. Tease will of course be dangerous, but he has done quite enough work of late, and I shall therefore place my undivided confidence in ESCAPT. At this early period of the week it would be absurd to express an opinion on the probable issue of the other events. The two meetings of the past week were most successful. The Nottingham gathering was par ticularly interesting; but those who assisted at it complained bitterly of the inclement weather and the riotous conduct of certain jockeys, who delayed the start for the Two Year Old race upwards of an hour. Their little " game" will, lam assured, be speedily stopped; but how to do it? is a question difficult to answer. The investments in the market have been limited, but not devoid of interest, and by the end of the week I shall doubtless have to record several important changes in speculation. A FRESH MAN.

It does not appear that a Premier can apply for a dissolution without stating some reason or Cali.% for so doing. The customary mode, front the various precedents in our politi cal history, seems to be for theMituster to state—" I am de sirous of promoting a certainmeasure; the opposition in the House of Commons is too strong against me ; but I think, if the sense of the country is taken, I shall have a ma'ority in my favour." Such was the course taken by Mr. Pitt in respect to Fox's well-known India Bill; s uch was the course followed b y L ord Palmerston in BM with regard to the China war; but can Lord Derby, as an honest man, say to the Sovereign, that if he is beat on his Reform Bill, and the sense of the country is taken, that it will be in his favour! ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.—MR. HARRISON'S BENEFIT.—It will be seen by our advertising columns that Flotow's light and riant opera of "Martha," which proved so great a success last season with the Italian company at Covent -garden, has been selected by the leading English tenor and lessee of the New Opera House fer his benefit this (Monday) evening. We doubt not ho will be wel comed by a crowded auditory. A new ballet, called "Robert and Bertrand," supported by the inimitable pan tomimist, Mr. W. H. Payne, his talented family, and Mdlles. Morlachi and Pasquale, will take the place of the pantomime on this occasion. RECRUITS WANTED BY HER MAJESTY'S WAR STEAMER ED INEITEG H. — Recruits, it appears, are wanted by her Majesty's war steamer Edinburgh, at present lying at Queensferry. It is not necessary that the men or boys should have been to sea before. They must be of a specified age and height, and able-bodied. A novel feature in the announcement of the ship's requirements is, that boys on offering themselves must be accompanied by one of their parents, or if they have none, by their guardian. No boys will be entered under seventeen, or above twenty years of age , --Caledonian Mercury. LORD CAMPBELL'S .777.121 BILLS. At the close of the last sessi on of Parliament, Lord Campbell gave notice that he should intro duce, early in the next session, two bills designed to remedy two great defects in the administraticas of justice. One of them has been already the sith• jeet of considerable discussion in the public jour nals ; the other has not yet been noticed by them. As both are of very considerable interest wcextract the following description of them from the charge of the Recorder of Falmouth, Mr. E. W. Cox, delivered to the Grand Jury at the recent quarter sessions " I have now to bring under your notice some measures for the improvement of the law which will be laid before Parliament during the session that is about to open. For two of them we are to be indebted to the Lord Chief Justice of England, who has already done so much for the reform of our laws. While others have been wasting their energies in e p x r s c luelngt, a tii3negrhays grea , t, but impr ac ti ca bl e, scherneS— if in a new country, but impos sible in an old one—Lord Campbell has been content to frame practical measures for the removal ofproved abuses andto supply the defects discovered by expe rience, and consequently he has done a great deal more than.many of the more noisy reformers svho promise so much and perform so little. Lord Camp bell proposes now to add two more to his many re forms; one of them a measure of immense impoit ance, against which the prejudices of the public are already attempted to be enlisted by anticipa tion. I allude to a proposal to amend the Law of Juries, so that the absurdity of requiring a unanimous verdict in civil eases may be put an end to. He proposes that the agreement of nine shall suffice for the verdict. If custom had not reconciled us to it, we should exclaim against the barbarism of endeavouring to compel men's minds to ono opinion by the torture of their bodies---by keeping them cold, hungry, and thirsty. Such a process might enforce agreement in form, but not unanimity in fact. It is nothing better than torturing the dissentients into a violation of their oaths, forcing them to give a verdict against their consciences, and it differs only in degree from the rack and the screw formerly applied to martys to make them change their religious creed. Lord Campbell says that the time_is come for such a bar 'musm to cease ; that the jury shall be allowed to deliberate freely and decide honestly ; that they shall be locked up for not more than six hours, and that then, if.they do not agree, the judge may dis charge them, unless themselves ask further time, in Which case they may have another six hours. If nine of them agree upon a verdict, that shall suffice. If they cannot so far agree, they shall be discharged without a verdict, in which case another jury may, with the consent of the parties, be im pannelled at the same assizes or sittings, so as to save the expense of bringing up the witnesses again. I think you will be of opinion that this proposition is a very rational one, that it will be a great improvement in the law. The attempt to prejudice . you against it, that is being made in some quarters, is based upon the false assertion that it is designed to be extended to criminal cases also. But no such purpose exists, and I do not believe that the Lord Chief Justice has the remotest intention to extend the plan to criminal trials. The reasons for and against it are altogether different in the two cases. In criminal cases there is but one question for the jury—ls the prisoner guilty or not guilty ? It is the duty of the prosecution to prove the charge ; if it fails to do so to the satisfaction of twelve men—if there remains so much doubt about the case that even one man out of twelve is not satisfied that guilt is proved—the law, tender of the liberty of the subject, not unreasonably says that the prisonershall be acquitted. But in a civil cause the case is very different. It is not merely a ques tion whether-the plaintiff or the defandant should have the verdict, but also as to what shall be the amount of damages ; and many difficult and doubt ful points must be decided, upon which it is almott impossible for sensible men not to differ, and the more the intelligence of juries increases, the more frequent will their disagreement become. When, therefore, the question shall be discussed in your presence, if you approve this view of it, so answer the objections of its opponents ; and remember especially that the measure is to he expressly limited to civil causes, and that there is no intention whatever to extend it to criminal trials. The other measure proposed by Lord Campbell is intended to prevent an injustice, now continually occurring, by which private malice seeks to gratify itself under the form of a public prosecution. I will illustrate it by an instance. You have an action in the county courts. You and your opponent are both examined upon oath. You assert something which he denies. He is defeated. Without giving you any notice whatever in your absen ce , w ith ou t your know ledge, without an opportunity being allowed to you to be heard, on the statement of your accusers alone, a bill of indictment for perjury is preferred against you to the grand jury. It is found, of course. You are subjected to the painful imputation of having an indictment for per jury against you ; you are subjected to the anxiety and cost and shame of a trial ; you are acquitted, of course ' • but your adver sary has had hi s revenge i n full measure, by the mental pain and expenses he has put you to. Lord Campbell proposes to prevent this oppression for the future, by simply requiring that no bill for per jury, conspiracy, or false pretenses shall be preferred to a grand jury without a preliminary investiga tion and committal by magistrates, as is the course with other crimes ; and to prevent any possible miscarriage of justice through errors on their part, power is also to be given to any judge of a superior court, or to the Attorney or olicitor- General, to direct an indictment for either of these offences. As the next session will be mainly occu pied in the more exciting debates on a reform in Parliament, I cannot hold out to you hope of any great law reforms. Some small measures of im provement may be adopted, but it is not probable that time or thought will be found for the details of any large measure ; and even the long-promised bankruptcy reform must, I fear, wait for a season of more leisure. Mr. Walpole will introduce a bill to alter the terms and to rearrange some of the circuits, and he has promised a bill to enable the Queen in Council to extend the boundaries of municipal boroughs with the consent of two-thirds of the persons who are to be included. This will enable your borough to include within itself the entire town, and thus to g i ve t o F a l mo uth the position to which it is fully entitled by its growing importance as a port and the prosperous future now opening before it." TILE CALEDONIAN SOCIETE Despite the senseless tirades recently vapoured forth from the inconstant journal of Printing-house square, against Scottish nationality and its bearings, another grand gathering of natives of that per sistent clannish kingdom assembled on Thursday evening, at the Hanover-square Rooms, to cele brate their annual ball, and to the pleasures of which they also invited a large party of their Saxon friends. The rooms were appropriately decorated for the occasion with variou h s . heraldic h shields and other armorial devices, plaids were tastefully draped alternately with . p .of the clan , tartans and national fla,r,co giving them at the H o7 g a h b l l a e nd same, time a 'handsome and appear ance. The Caledonians wore the mf which with the gay (and we were going to ga a r d b expensive) costumes of the gentler sex, unlike the dull sameness of the " dress-coated" ball room scene, transformed this into one of unusual bril liancy. The programme embraced the most fashionable and favourite dances, no t omitting the gracef u l St rat h spey and lively reel of Scotia's own, the music to the latter being well played by Mr. Ross, her Majesty's piper, while the orchestra was filled by an excellent band conducted by Mr. Guinness. The first part of the programme having been danced through, the company were summoned • to supper by the piper's pibrochs, the president leading the way, where a most sumptuous repast was furnished in the large hall on the ground floor, Mr. Marshall (the president), presiding, to do justice to which they were assiduously invited by the attentions of the stewards, directed by the unwearied exertions of the honorary secretary, Mr. Gray. After the loyal and other compli mentary toast had been pledged and responded to, dancing was resumed and kept up with the greatest enthusiasm until an early hour. If na tionality has no other faults than the conviviality of an evening like the Caledonian ball, we would say, esto perpetuo. Mr. Frampton had the arrange ment of the dances, and his management seemed t o give the best satisfaction.

The seaman stated that his captain had not yet arrived in London. Mr. Yardley—You had better wait till he arrives here. The seaman--Can I 811.4 the owner ? Mr. Yardley—Yes ; where does he live ? Tho seaman—ln Cheapside. Mr. Yardley—Tben you must apply at the Mansion house. SAVAGE ASBI7MT ON A SEAMAN.—Ann Mullins, a big woman of the town, who has made her appearance in this court, on a variety of charges, at least 50 times,was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a violent assault on George Kennedy, a man of colour. The complainant said he was a seaman, and now living at 59,. St. George-street, alias Rateliff-Highway. On Saturday night, he met the prisoner in the Highway, close to the Cock and Neptune public-house, and she asked him for money, and on his refusal to give her any, she struck him down with a large street door-key, inflicting a wound on his head, from which the blood flowed. When he got up, she struck him again and cut his head, and besides the loss of blood, he had since been in considerable pain. The prisoner, in defence, said the complainant had been staying with her a fortnight, and ho refused to pay her. The complainant was recalled, and said that he was ac costed by the prisoner a fortnight ago, who took him home, and when ho told her he had only a shilling she kicked him out of her house. Police-constable, No. 144 11, said that he found the pro secutor covered with blood on Saturday night. The pri soner was a most outrageous woman, and came out of prison on Saturday after 10 days' imprisonment. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had often assaulted men, and was a violent, unruly woman. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was incorrigible, and had committed a most savage assault. He sentenced her to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. THE NEAPOLITAN „FILES.
