.3101VEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. There has been a moderate amount of business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last three or four days, but is most instances prices have shown considerable firm ness. Tea has been dealt in to a limited extent, and sugars are in fair requst for home consumption, at fully late values. For the better qualities of coffee the inquiries have been moder atel y active, and full gle prices have been obtained f or Plantation Ceylon. Rice has not been much inq uired for, and the few u sales effected were at previous rates. The demand for currants has slightly diminished, but Valencia raisins continue to be actively sought for, and realise remunerative quotations. Saltpetre has s , been in better demand, refined qualities having shown an upward movement in prices. Tallow, st however, continues inactive, at barely previous rates.

It will be remembered that this case came before his Honour on sth December last to vary the Chief Clerk's certificate, and the question then raised was whether the alleged mortgagee of a debt of IMO was entitled to claim it as against the administrators of the testator's estate in respect of the title deeds of the property deposited in his hands by the testator as a security for payment of that sum. It appeared that Mr. Aitken had full credit for the money advanced by him in respect of the bill transactions with the testator. Tho case now came before his Honour to be ad justed on the minutee. After hearing Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., and Mr. Turner in the cause, His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, ordered-Ist, that the title deeds deposited be delivered up to the executors ; 2d, that the sum of £293 be paid into Court out of the rents of the real estate, or the proceeds of the sale on other assets; and, 3d, that the costs of all parties be paid out of the estate. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Bofors Sir C. Creswell and a Special Jury.) SIEIPPER AND SKIPPED. V. BODKIN AND OTHERS.- DISPUTED WILL. This eau, which is likely to last for some time, was pro seeding when wo went to press. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) A WITNESS ON THR WRONG SIDE.-HAMILTON V. FARLOW. This was a case which had been adjourned at defen dant's instance to obtain evidence as to the value of cer tain clock movements detained by defendant. The first witness called by defendant was an auctioneer and appraiser. Two perfect clock movements and a por tion of a third were handed to him, and he valued them at £2. To rebut this testimony Mr. Buchanan called a watchmaker, who valued the movements at £lO 10s. They were made by one of the first Parisian manufacturers. Defendant then said he had subpoenaed a watchmaker, and a gentleman who said he had had forty years' expe rience. The witness with great deliberation proceeded to examine one of the movements. Defendant—Now, what is the value of that clock move ment ? Witness—Four guineas. (Laughter.) Mr. Buchanan—l won't ask you anything. His Honour—Upon the evidenco plaintiff is entitled to a judgment for £lO with costs. During the progress of this case his Honour complained bitterly of the apparatus used in warming and cooling the court. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. In several cases which have come before the court during the sitting of the present judge his Honour has at great length explained Acts of Parliament ; and gone into the principles of evidence. llis Honour's patience appears now to have worn out, and he will not from the let January next take so much trouble. Some of the suitors would cer tainly try the patience of Job. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A TRIP TO RICHMOND.—AN AWKWARD POSITION. — Mr. William Alfred Horsley, of Denmark-hill, auctioneer, and Mr. Edmund Taylor Cockerel], oil merchant, 8, Peck ham-grove, were charged with being drunk and incapable, and damaging a cab, No. 3,647. The defendant Cocker° face was covered with very ugly bruises. Fish, 331 A, said about 12 the previous night he saw the defendants in charge of a cabriolet, Horsley driving, and Cockersll asleep inside. The cabriolet was drawn up at the time to the kerb, and a cab-driver, named Downes, badge 4,312, complained that his cab had been damaged by the defendants—one of his spokes being broken, and five others damaged. Inspector Holden, of the C division, said the defendants had been to Richmond, and had brought two female* back with them to town, and the poor girls had not got a half penny to take them back. The defendant Cockerell called him " a fool," and said ho should say the same in court. He also used very bad language. He believed they had settled the damage, and were greatly intoxicated at the time._ The defendants both expressed their Borrow. Tho chief clerk reminded Mr. Bingham that Cockerell (judging from his appearance) had Buffered a good deal. Mr. Bingham said he had no doubt they both felt dis graced, being respectable men, and Cockerell's face was much damaged. It was a shocking position to be in. Fined 20e. each. THAMES. RIOTOUS CONDUCT OP THE RETURNED SOLDIERS FROM INDIA.-Wm. Hamilton, one of the soldiers who were die oharged in India, and Patrick Cunningham, were charged before Mr. Yardley with the following riotous conduct at the Pier Hotel, Brunswick-pier, Blackwell. Sergeant Modern, K 28, stated that about 10 o'clock last night ho was called to a disturbance which took place at the Pier Hotel. lle got there with four other constables, when he found a scene of great confusion. There were nearly 100 soldiers in various parts of the house, and there were about 30 lying down speechlessly drunk. Several of the men had possession of the bar and were helping them selves, while others were fighting with each other. Mr. Yardley inquired whero the prisoner came from ? Roach, the gaoler, said that about 500 had on that day (yesterday) arrived in the East India Docks from India, 250 of whom were paid off. Mr. Yardley—Are they the men who discharged them selves in India ? Roach—They are, sir. The Sergeant added that prisoner broke a table, and with the legs of it he smashed glasses and everything he came near. Ho also assaulted several persons, and struck the landlord. Witness and the constables with him succeeded in clearing the house of the men, who again entered. Witness was eventually compelled to send for assistance, on the arrival of which they succeeded in keeping order. As soon as a reinforcement of police arrived the prisoner was taken into custody. The prisoner said that ho was drunk, and did not know what he was doing. Mr. Yardley observed that this was a bad commencement after their arrival in London. lie was fined 305., or 14 days. Nearly similar evidence was given against the other pri soner, who was fined 6s. 6d., or four days. There were above a dozen who were charged with being drunk and incapable. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

Who amongst us does not love flowers, trees, and grass We have only to cast our eyes around on the varied paths of life, and ample evidence will be afforded that there is an immortal influence in " The pomp of groves and garniture of fields." Mankind has ever revelled in the scent of the blossoms and shadow of the boughs, and ever will. The tawny savage of the backwoods strides over the wide prairie's purple bells, and gazes on the pine giants of his native forests with an ex ulting, although an indefinite joy. The ducal master of Chatsworth breathes among his choice exotics, and treads daintily beneath the branches of his ancestral oaks and beeches - with in finite pride and pleasure: The same instinct dwells in each bosom—though one is girded by the ribbon of the Bath, and graced with the star of blazing gems; and the other is swathed in the buffalo's skin and chequered with the red tatoo. They both love flowers and trees. The infinite and the beautiful erects its altar alike in the hearts of the Indian Pawnee and the English peer. Most of us have our earliest recollections asso ciated with " buttercups and daisies," cowslip bells, and palm branches. The "Field of the Cloth of Gold" that saw the meeting of Harry of England and Francis of France, bore no such extatic hearts and bounding 'limbs as Old Farley's meadow did when he allowed some dozen town-born children —myself included—the free range of it in full buttercup season. What a memorable day it was ! The meridian sun was blazing away in cloudless glory. The scarlet poppies along the hawthorn hedge banks seemed to have breathed their opium into the wings of young Zephyrus, and put a stop to his gadding for the day. The bees had been so thirsty that they had drank too much red clover wine, for they blundered against each other, and staggered and tumbled about with aimless indecision of place and purpose, and evidently did not know a corn cockel from a dandelion. We heard a couple of them attempting to hum some snatch of melody— but the incoherent style of their performance left a doubt as to whether they intended it for " Jolly companions" or " We won't go home till morning. " The barn cat had found a shady spot in the ro mantic recess of a dilapidated pig-sty—so completely overcome by the heat that two audacious kittens were uninterruptedly playing at scratch-cradle with her tail, passing it from one to the other in the most intricate lines and angles imaginable. The cows and ducks had been in the pond since sunrise, and appeared thoroughly determined to pursue the hydropathic system until sunset. Every thing was dry and dusty, or bright and burning. Old Farley expressed an opinion at the meadow gate that it would be "too hot" for us; but our rush in a body—such as never tried a pit entrance on Edmund Kean's benefit nights, soon rendered that opinion null and void—away we wont, like the starters for the Derby, and the gorgeous yellow prairie was attacked with an onslaught that few blossoms, save the immortal buttercup, could pro voke. How we danced, and jumped, and leaped about that beautiful field—now screaming with delight over a lot of brazen ox-eyed daisies, and pulling up handfulls of them at a clutch—roots and all ; then shouting over a patch of sweet scented bind-weed, and then flying off to seize the tall fox-gloves, rather out of reach on the banks. Any rational looker-on would have imagined us to bo com pounded of the greyhound and the grasshopper — such lithe activity—such uncaleulating gymnastics were displayed. What boughs we pulled of horn beam and dogrose—what bundles of ferns and dodder-grass —what armfulls of sorrel, until, utterly exhausted, we flung ourselves down under the lop elms, with countenances that amalgamated the de licate tints of a postman's coat and an over-ripe pickling cabbage, and with elfin tresses and excited skins that no Rowland's Macassar or Kalydor could have made decently presentable. Well do we remember the tea and fruit we had that day— what delicious broad and butter, so moist and fresh —what luxurious cream, so white and thick— what heaps of strawberries, real Elton pines— what baskets of cherries, true black hearts, which added vastly to the complexional beauty of our faces—what potties of raspberries, all pulp and perfume—and ' hew we did eat—city aldermen would have been ashamed of us ; and how well do we remember that the tables and chairs in old Farley's big parlour were covered with our gathered spoils, for the revelling joy of a fruit feast could not exclude our demonstrative admiration for the lovely " nosegays" we had collected. This heap of marsh-mallows was prominently held up to notice, and that lot of feather-grass claimed distinct praise. The bunches of buttercups and daisies were gigantic and countless, and the branches of nut-trees and silver-ash afforded no mean resem blance to the celebrated march of Birnam Wood. How carefully we tied them up—how zealously we guarded them on our way to town—how we loved ._those sweet, and simple things—and how innocent and happy were those days, when green leaves and ' wild flowers formed a paradise for us, with no worse serpent to ruin its character than a mother's gentle reprimand for bringing home such a " lot of rub bish ;" and yet we have seen that mother quite as great an idolater of them as we were, only in a more subdued style of worship ; and many a time have discovered her cherishing some of the lot of rubbish with fresh water, and arranging them with tasteful hands. We meet on Sunday morning idlers by the dozens, strolling through the streets of our great city. Let us just glance at them. We see a brawny dray man who has evidently forgotten to shave himself, and not been too particular as to the set of his neck-tie. He hits on the same rough, tough, dirty, thick, blanket-sort of jerkin in which he let down innumberable butts of " Barclay's best" into dingy cellars during the week; but in a button hole of the said jerkin there is a splendid carnation. He has consumed some seconds of time in placing it safely and conspicuously, and walks slowly on, eyeing it every now end then with great self-satis faction ; and his satisfaction is not unshared, for, while observing his warm appreciation of the really exquisite blossom, we feel a degree of pride also that one of a class who had the courage to pelt Haynau, the woman-whipper, should love flowers. A little further, and we encounter a grimy son of Vulcan, who is carrying off a large bunch of all sorts, begiuning with old man and ending with prince's feathers ; he says his "little Polly, who ain't over well, likes the smell on 'em ;" whether the smell may be very . beneficial to the young suf ferer we will not inquire, but the tendency to love flowers claims our admiration under any circum stances. A lank pale woman has spent an extra vagant halfpenny on a dozen brilliant sweet-peas, which she declares " will keep beautiful for a whole week, with plenty of water. , A charity boy has picked up a bit of double-stock, and, with earnest endeavour, fixes it above his badge of poverty—and then as earnestly bends his head to I try and get a whiff of its odorous breath. There, at that stall yonder, are a decent man and tidy wife, who have suddenly discovered that they have an " odd penny" out of the shoulder of mutton which the man carries in a flag basket, in immediate conjunction with a monster cabbage—and it is as suddenly imagined that the odd money cannot be better laid out than in one of those tempting clusters of roses, as they happen to be just "a penny a lot ;" and away the couple go, to gladden the eyes of their young Tommy and Nancy with the sight of real, smelling, lovely roses. Aye:! ye children of toil ; ye " love flowers." We loiter on, and down a close iron-railed area we see a goodly number of half-dead plants, with their brown leaves supported by gree n sti cks, in ' pots of extreme brunette complexion, some of which plants are so totally devoid of " character" in their foliage that their "order" is a mystery. These are the especial and treasured property of the cook, who is never known to abuse her favourite tabby, a match less mouser—save when he surreptitiously nibbles at the white pinks; she has serious thoughts ofrubbing them with mustard, to deter him from the indul gence, having tried pepper without any success. In the balcony of the drawing room above we perceive snow ctimelias and gorgeous cactuses and oleanders standing up in their rich china vases, in attractive splendid magnificence. They belong to the young heiress, who tends them daily wig' her own deli cate and jewelled fingers, and who dispensed as decided and vulgar a box on the ear of her juvenile sister, for destroying the bud of a matchless arum, as could have been bestowed by the most unrefined of exasperated young ladies. It is plain that those above and those below " love flowers." The old red night-capped cobbler, who labours continually in a cubbed-up shed at the corner of a street in our neighbourhood, has a beloved idol by his side in the shape of a pot of mignionette ; sown by himself, watered by himself, put in the sun shine by himself, and carefully preserved from all the incidental. damage likely to ensue in such limited space. We suspect that the tubbed-up shed, with its abominable effluvia of horse-hide and stronger wax ends, is rendered a degree more cheerful to the eyes and senses of the poor inhabi tant by the presence of that pot of mignionotte. The old cobbler, though he is accused of making too frequent "morning calls" at the adjacent " Cow and Compasses," "loves flowers." As for " gardens," they are as old as Paradise it self—and we see the original occupation of the " old Adam" peeping out still when the over-fed, gold-surfeited citizen betakes himself to a detached villa, "within twenty miles of London, and two of a railway station," where he puddles and pokes with his spade and rake, in his loose jacket, and finds more exciting interest in grubbing up a few weeds, or planting a row of seedlings, than he ever experiAced while cashing a heavy bill for Messrs. Needham and Co. We happen to know an elderly gentleman who is a thorough representative of this numerous and increasing race. He has given up his smoke-dried, wall-surrounded house in Bedford-square, and en sconced himself in a rural villa, 12 miles from town, with charmiF French windows opening to mossy lawns, sparkling flower beds, mazy shrubberies, and a kitchen plot in the distance, large enough to supply the granivcrous demands of the Reform Club. His wife has confidentially informed us that his temper is not nearly so irritable since he has taken to " doing a little gardening," and that his attacks of gout and indigestion are much lighter. Her confidence also enlightened us as to the standard roses being extremely expensive— that the "Duchess of Sutherland" (a fine imposing blossom, certainly) and the Imperial Blush (very scarce) cost as much as her last new dress ; and that, at a random estimate, the cabbages averaged sixpence per head, and the carrots threepence per tail, to say nothing of the unknown quantity of money sunk in a pet pinery and a choice vinery. We were lingering about in his immediate vicinity the other morning with a pet volume of Leigh Hunt in our hand, when we heard the groom rapidly advance on the old gentleman's " whereabouts." "The phaeton is ready, sir," said John to his civic master; but the master was hoeing away at an ob stinate dock-root, and perfectly oblivious of Thread needle-street and " Bradshaw." The old gentle man had managed to " mess" the bottom of his trousers pretty considerably; his hands must be washed—his boots must be changed—his face is very moist and florid, owing to the inveterate ob stinacy of the dock-root ; and, after a rapid sum ming up of his condition, he arrives at the wise conclusion that he cannot go by that train. " I shall go by the half-past one, John," says the civic master; and he again applied himself vigorously to the dock-root, which he at length conquered. Elated with the feat, he stood for a few moments gazing on the annihilated weed with mingled triumph 1 and delight in his somewhat purple countenance, and conceived a sudden fancy for clearing a conti guous herb-bed of "that nasty chickweed," setting to at the work as though his reputation depended on its performance. John came again, but the elderly gentleman had found another most impera tive demand on his attention, and his opinion was decidedly expressed that it was " too late to be of any use in town," and he should not want the pine ton. He toiled on, in a state of intense heat and activity, until he was compelled to obey tne dinner bell, and sat down to his fish and chicken with a full conviction that he had materially added to the high state of cultivation so generally observed by those who visited his adored " garden," while the head gardener expressed a strong private opinion that " master generally did more harm than good." Happy delusion ! It is pleasant to see the primitive digging and delving tendency of childhood return in men, when all that Fortune can bestow and all that Ambition can achieve has served but to teach that it is possible to have " too much of a good thing," and that a bit of grass plot and a rood or two of earth may take us as nigh to heaven as a banker's counter. Not far distant from our friend's villa, is a low mud-walled cottage, with a tiny patch of ground attached, probably about thirty feet by fifty; but the tiny patch is crammed with nas turtiums, rockets, sweet-williams, larkspurs, hen and-chicken daisies, scarlet runners, honeysuckle, apple- trees, currant bushes, and Flora and Pomona know best what. It is a perfect floral kaleidoscope; and it is suspected that the civic gentleman covets a slip of that wonderful jasmine which runs over the old wooden porch. The rich merchant and the poor peasant both " love flowers." Gardens are pleasant places. They were so when under the classical patronage of Semiramis and Alcinous, and they form charming, attractive " green spots" in the world's arid choking waste in these modern days, past and present, bearing the patronymics of Ranclagh, Vauxhall, Versailles, Tuileries, Kew, Rosherville, Kensington, or Cre morne. There is something, refreshing in the very word " garden." Whether the style be Italian or Dutch, it is of little consequence as far as the gene ral impulse of humanity is concerned. We admit that we prefer to ramble where nature and art keep up a becoming family feeling of union—yet, when we find ourselves shut up with perfect Encli an right lines and angles, and peacocks cut li out o the box trees, whose only merit is that they do n t scream—yet, we say we cannot quarrel with the place they disfigure. We feel that a "garden" was intended, and that is enough to sanc tify the most atrocious bad taste. " Flowers and sweet green leaves" are among the most prominent of the " beautiful and undying," and we reverently recognise them as the silent minister of God's un fathomable power, and the unceasing shrines of man's instinctive homage.

To-day's market was again very moderately supplied with English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, but the general condition of the samples was tolerably good. Fine qualities were held at full prices, but the demand far them ruled inactive. Inferior parcels moved off heavily at Monday's currency. We were well supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat. Buyers evinced no desire to operate, and the trade was consequently heavy at late rates. In floating cargoes from the westward very little was passing. There was a fair demand for malting barley at previous currencies. Grinding and distilling sorts were heavy at the lath decline. We have to report a slow sale for malt at Monday's prices. Oats—tho supply of which was moderate—moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in their value. Beans, peas, and flour were dull at late rates. ARRIVALS TRIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

In the Refined Market there is a steady seasonable demand, at fully late rates. COFFEII.—For Plantation Ceylon there has been a fair inquiry, and fine qualities have realised full values ; other descriptions wore also in good demand, at former prices. Ricx.—The market has been quiet, and prices have shown no material variation. FRUIT.—The demand for currants has not been quite so active, but Valencia raisins have been dealt in to some ex tent, at steady prices. SALTPETRE{—More activity has prevailed, and firmer prices have been current for the finer qualities. TALLow.—The dealings have been limited, and prices have ruled in buyers' favour.

The St. Petersburg exchange has been gradually improving, owing chiefly to Government support, and it seems likely to go still higher. There are rumours of fresh arrangements between the Russian Government and Messrs. Rothschild, and it is presumed that if these are correct the Government will have further facilities for drawing. THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY.—Surprise and great dissatisfaction are expressed by some o f th e s h are holders of this company at the alleged intention of the directors to move an adjournment of the meeting fixed for next week, so as to postpone all explanations for another month. Looking at the statements in circulation regarding their mutual dissensions and recriminations, and the financial difficulties of the concern, it was to have been supposed they would have insisted on an opportunity of meeting the ir constituents without the needless delay pf a single day. It is urged, consequently, by persons interested, that there should be a full attendance on the 15th. If any motion, however, is intended to be discussed, it will be neceesary, that three days' clear notice should be given.
