CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Less activity has been apparent in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days, owing to the high rates demanded for most of the principal staples. Tea has been firm, as the accounts by the overland mail report a deficiency in the shipments of about 8,000,000 to 9,000,000 lbs. compared with last year. In sugar the transactions have been confined to immediate requirements for home consumption, few speculative transactions having been recorded. Coffee continues in fair de mand, and the superior descriptions have exhibited an improvement in value. Rice has been dealt in to a rather large extent, chiefly for exportation, and in some instances prices have slightly improved. Saltpetre has been in steady request, at fall values ; and tallow has exhibited extreme firmness, an ad vance of about 6d per cwt. being realised for most descriptions. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices tended downwards. The sales Were estimated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market presented rather more ani mation, and quotations slightly improved. The operations in the money market are not very extensive, but a fair amount of business is reported at terms a fraction under the Bank minimum. As accommodation can thus be ohtMned at easier rates, the applications at that establishment have fallen off, and a diminution may therefore be ex pected in the item of the " other securities." The advices from Paris this morning, in describ ing the nature of the business transactions on the Bourse, state that, in spite of the extensive specu lative sales, considerable purchases were effected on behalf of the investing public. It is mentioned that one of the bankers in the " parquet " received yesterday no less than 325 orders to purchase secu rities on private account. The monthly return of the Bank of France, com pleted to the 13th ult., has been published, and, compared with 'that of the previous , month, some important changes are apparent, owing chiefly to the commercial requirements usual at the close of the year. In the bullion there is a decrease of £1,138,872, and the bills discounted show an aug mentation of £1,721,500. The advances on. Public Securities have been larger by £7,680, and upon Railway Shares they have been £977,116 in excess of the previous month. At the meeting of the General Discount Com pany, to-day, a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. P e r annum was declared. There has been very •little fluctuation in the market for public securities to-day. The excite- Meat recently noticed has therefore subsided. and the quotations, both for the English Funds and the has Rent es , s h ow an upwar d tendency. This nas checked speculative transactions for the decline, a disposition being shown rather to operate in the contrary direction.' As, at the same time the public have Purchased largely for investment, the tone of business has improved; but the doubt still entertained respecting the position of affairs on the Continent exerts an influ '°nee upon the condition of the market. Con sols have been quoted 951 7 6 1 for money, and 958 I for account, which are the present quotations, although for a short period they were a fraction higher. Bank Stock is 226; the New Threes and the Reduced are 961 a ; Exchequer Bills, 355. to 28s. prem. ; Long Annuities have been dealt in at 1 8fr r and India Loan Debentures, 99/ a. Messrs. D.

About an average quantity , of English wheat-1,130 quarters—has come to hand this week, coastwise ; but the receipts of that grain fresh up, to-day, wore limited. The show of samples was trifling, and the demand for most kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at prices quite equal to Monday. There was a steady, but by no means active, inquiry for foreign wheat—the show of which was good— at full currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were quite as dear as last week. The show of barley was moderate; and all kinds were in fair request, at full quotations. Malt, however, was dull, but not cheaper. We had a steady demand for oats, beans, and flour, al extreme rates. In peas, very ]ittlo was doing, at barely late rates. ARRIVALS TETS WEEK. • Wheat- Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls. said I am of opinion that, on looking to the state of interests in this case, I cannot make the plaintiff pay more than one-fourth part of the costs of the term. It is said that the trustee expressed his dissent from his co-trustee, but at present I cannot say that that would justify a separation of the two trustees, and say what was due by each and both of them. His Honour affirmed the order made by him in Dec. last, and declared that that order should stand as of this' date ; and as there was no additional expenses Incurred, and no additional fees to counsel up to this date, the order would simply be 'without costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Campbell and Justices Crompton, Hill, and Wightman.) • SCULLY V. INGRAM. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., said in this case, which was tried at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Justice, at the sitting after term, when a verdict of £3OO was found for the plaintiff, he had to move, on the part of defendant, for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection of the learned judge, that there was no evidence of any damage naturally resulting to the plaintiff by the representatien, that it was uncertain which head the jury gave the damages, that the verdictveas against the evidence, also as to damages, and finally on the ground of surprise: He said:the action was brought by Mr. V. Scully against Mr. Herbert Ingram, - M.P. for Boston, for frau dulently representing that he was the owner of the Castle Hyde estate, in the county of Cork, whereby the : plaintiff said he was prejudiced by being pre vented from enforcing the payment of £9,000 owing , to him by the late John Sadleir, and by losing the ad vantages of the estate. , At the trial there was little evi -1 dence.to show how. Mr. Ingram could have been benefitted. by •the alleged misrepresentation, or what motive he. ould have had in making it. The jury, .however, gave a verdict for.the plaintiff with £3OO damages. They came into court twice, and said that they could not agree ; and it appeared that half, or a certain number of them, were not prepared to find that the defendant was an accom plice with Saelleir in the fraud. The transaction took place in 1853, and at the trial a •mass 'of corre spondence was produced by the plaintiff for the first thus, of which the defendant was entirely ignorant, and that the Lord Chief Justice kindly adjourned the cause early on the first day, that he (Mr. Bo' ill)' might have an opportunity of perusing it. Before the trial the defendant applied for leave. "itoia ad)tiiitisfei Interrogatories to Mr. Scully, whielC - araS ; and the defendant never received" the - Mina notice to inspect and admit these letters, which were for the first time brought to his notice at the trial Since the trial the defendant has taken every means in his power to obtain information as to the truth of the evidence given at 'the trial. It appeared that Mr. Scully was desirous that Mr. Ingram should have every particle of information that existed in connee- tion with the case, and a mass of papers had been examined in which an entry had been discovered in the books of Messrs. Morrogh and Kennedy, under the' date of June 28,-- 1853, to the effect that they had received instructions to prepare an outline of the Castle Hyde estate, with a view to its sale to Mr. Dargan, and that there had been an attendance upon Mr. Scully in respect thereof. He contended that, as Mr. Ingram had abandoned the purchase in May, 1853, and Mr. Scully in the June follow ing was dealing with :the estate - las his own, it was clear that he was entitled to the rule on that ground alone. The learned gentleman then went at length into a variety of arguments. - The Court granted a rule to show cause upon all points except that of misdirection. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) AUCTION SALES: IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.-HEMMINGS V. ISAACS. Mr. Beard applied for the plaintiff, an auctioneer, of Pil grim-street, Ludgate-hill, and who Ought to recover £l4 Bs. 6d. under the following circumstances :—Upon a certain day plaintiff held a sale, at which 'defendant was a bidder. 'He bought'a lot or lots, consisting of two coats and 232 dozen dyed rabbit skins, which were knocked down to him at £25 2s. 6d. He called and paid 6s. 6d. deposit, and asked for time to clear his lots. A short time was granted, but as defendant made no appearance notice was given to him The lots were resold for £ls'odd, and plaintiff now sought to recover from defendant the loss on the resale. One of the conditions of the sale was that if the lots were not cleared by a certain time they might, without notice, be again put up, and the loss with all charges borne by the original buyer— if there was any gain he would not participate in it. Mr.-Beard called plaintiff an two witnesses, who proved that defendant bade for the lots and paid 6s. 6d. Notice was given to him that the goods would be resold. On the part of the defendant, it was contended by Mr. .Woollett that the 6s. 6d. was paid for two coats which he took away. Defendant had no idea that the lot was 232 dozen of rabbit skins—he thought it was 32 dozen only. Again he did not see how plaintiff could recover commission, as defendant did not employ him to resell the goods. Mr. Beard pointed out that the conditions of sale em powered plaintiff to make this charge. Upon looking at the catalogue his Honour considered that it was so. After some conflicting evidence as to the quantity of skins, His Honour decided that plaintiff was entitled to recover. Catalogues were distributed at the sale, and defendant had the opportunity of reading one, and he must be bound by the conditions. It had been mentioned that these goods were not included in the printed catalogue, but that was nothing. Verdict for plaintiff with costs. COMMISSION , ON 8 HIPMENTS.--EMMANUEL V. 'ISAACS. This was an action to recover' the sum of £l5 16s. 3d. alleged to be charged in excess as commission upon some ,goods consigned to defendant's house at Melbourne. A solicitor, who attended for plaintiff, stated that plain tiff and defendant's brother and partner had agreed that 5 per cent. commission should be charged upon the goods consigned to Melbourne, but upon receiving the account sales plaintiff found he had been charged 7f per cent. He now sought to recover the excess. Plaintiff was called, and proved the above statement. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, endeavoured to show that no agreement was made as to commission, and he called defendant, who swore to that part of the statement. Mr. Buchanan—Besides the oath of my client, your honour will see that it was very unlikely that my client would have agreed to charge only 5 per cent., when they knew nothing of the Australian trade. • His Honour said plaintiff was very firm in his evidence, and he should give him a verdict. SINGULAR ACTION UPON . A PROMISSORY NOTE.-RITCHIE V. GRAY. Mr. Beard appeared for the plaintiff, and sought to re cover the sum of £lO due upon a promissory note. It appeared that the plaintiff had been tenant of a house upon a lease, of which defendant was the freeholder. The sum of £27 10s. had been given for the lease by defendant, of which the promissory note in question formed a portio n . _ _ _ Mr. Woolett contended that the note had been obtained by fraud. Plaintiff had stripped the house of all his goods, and had stated to defendant that he had got as tenant to come in, a Mr. Wilson ; but as. Mr. Beard elicited that de fendant himself had been making enquiries as to Mr. Wilson, His Honour gave plaintiff a verdict, with costs. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN Aus- TRAMA AND NEW ZEALAND.—According to the advices by the Australian mail, which has just arrived, there ap pears every probability that Australia and New Zealand will shortly be united by a submarine cable. A survey has been made, and the report is favourable. The length of the cable will be about 1,350 miles, and the cast is estimated at £lBO,OOO. It is expected, if there be any difficulty in the way, that the sum will be raised in the city of Melbourne, as the cable will be of incalculable use whdn the Australian mails go via Panama, since the merchants of Melbourne will be enabled to overtake the mail for. England at New. Zea land a week after it has left Melbourne, and receive infor mation from the mother country a week in advance of the mail fOt AU.stralitt. ' ' MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING VICTUALS, &C., FROM THE ORIENTLL CLUB. —Nathaniel Johnson, a waiter at the Orion `,al Club, Ten terden-street, Hanover-square, was charged with, stealing a quantity of victuals, &c., the property of the tr ustees of the club. Mr. George Quiddington, the steward of the club, said the prisoner was employed as a waiter at the Club, and that on the previous night he was brought back to tho'club in custody of a constable, having a bundle with him contain ing food, &0., the property of the club. Mullord, 339 A, said that between nine and ten on:the previous night he stopped the prisoner in Hanover-place, Hanover -square, having at the time a bundle with He asked what it contained, and he replied, " If you want to see you had better go back with me to the club." He then took him to the club, and sent for the steward. The bundle contained various articles, meat, bread, sugar, .and soap. He said he was very sorry, and knew he had done wrong. The prisoner said the meat and the bread were what he had left from his dinner and supper. Mullord said the bread and meat weighed 7lbs. The secretary said he believed it to be part of the system carried out. Mr. Bingham said it was really astonishing that a man with such a good situation should be so forgetful of his duty. For a small quantity of food he had ruined himself. He must be committed for two months. THAMES, MAD DRUNK AND RIO T OUS. VIOLENT ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE.—Isaac John Reddington, a carman, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Bed ford Arms public-house, in Bedford-square, Stepney, and violently assaulting two police-constables named Richard Ledger, No. 213 K, and William Fish, 4M K. Mr. Daniel Swin said he managed the business of the Bedford Arms. Yesterday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock; the prisoner came into the house and called fOr a pint of beer, and after he had drank it he made a great dis turbance. He was requested to leave the house, which he refused to do, and he put him out. The prisoner attempted', to enter again, and was prevented doing so. The prisoner then clung to one of the doors, and would not let go until compelled by the police. Ledger, 213 K, stated that he found the prisoner shout ing and very disorderly, and clinging to the door of the public house. • He directed the landlord to open it, which was done, and the prisoner fell down. He raised the prisoner, who then made a violent attack upon him, and tore his nniform coat to pieces. His trousers were also torn. He closed upon the prisoner, who threw him down. The prisoner got up and kicked him, and struck him several times, and he was quite disabled. Inspector Griffin said the prisoner was mad drunk, and acted like an infuriated wild beast: He had to send 12 men from the station-house to secure him. The low prolititittes and thieves in the 'vicinity of Bedford-square took Part with the prisoner, and the riot became very serious. The prisoner was not- in a fit state •to be brought before the magistrate yesterday. • Fish, 451 said he went to the assistance of the ldst witness, . and the prisoner made a furious attack upon him; and said, " You b will soon do for you." ie was struck and kicked, and his nose was knocked all on one side. Mr. Yardley—l hope it will come right again. Witness—l am afraid not, sir. It is quite deformed and disfigured. Mr. Yardley—Are you married ? Witness—No, I am not, sir. Inspector Griffin , --The constable's nose is so deformed as to give him the appearance of a fighting man. The prisoner said he had been to wine cellars in the City yesterday and drunk wine. He became speechless drunk, and did not know what he did. Mr. Yardley said that drunkenness was no excuse, and no satisfaction to the man whose nose was broken. He fined the prisoner £3, and, in default of payment, sentence 4 him to twenty-one days' imprisonment. THE CHESS MATCH BY TELEG.RAP,H. The chess match—five members of the Liverpool club playing as many single games (without consultatibn) against five members of the Manchester club—commeneed on Wednesday evening. The players were paired, or rather opposed, by lot; and the combatants were the fo lowing Manchester. Liverpool. 1. Cohen v. Sparke. 2.. Birch v. Sz4bo., Hamer v. , Schull. 4. Kipping v. Soul. 5; Du Val v. Smith. The umpires were—for the Manchester players, Mr. Payne; for the Liverpool players, Mr. Morecroft. In games Nos. 1, 3, and 5 the Liverpool players won the move and in Nos. 2 and 4 Manchester got the move. All preliminaries having been settled, the first moves were made at 17 minutes after five o'clock, the openings being in game No. 1, irregular ; No. 2, Queen's gambit; No. 3, Pbilidor's defence; No. 4, the , French opening (King's pawn one) ;. and No. 5, the Scotch gambit. There was no money in question, the match being one of honour. The players in Manchester were located in a commodious room on the first floor of the Electric Telegraph Company, with an instrument close at hand, attended by a couple of clerks, and every accommodation was afforded. During the evening and night a considerable number of gentlemen visited the room and inspected the play for a time; but on the whole it was rather slow.
