P CITY, Two o'CLocK. Irv: the markets for forcigß Dill and colonial produce Lave been very inactive. and in inost instances previmig quotations have been with difficulty sustained. Tea, however, lias exhi bited considerale firmness, and at public sale some of the finer qualities advanced in value about 2d. per lb. In sugar the transactions have been con fined to requirements for home consumption, little export business having:been reported, and in some instances lower quotations are current. Coffeehas been almost neglected, and only the superior qualities of plantation Ceylon fonnd buyers at about former rates. Rice has been rather firmer ; and in spices and fruit a moderate business has been transacted, previous prices being obtained. Saltpetre continues in steady request ; and tallow has been in better demand, at slightly improved values. P.Y.C., on the spot, being quoted 50s. 6d. to 50s. 9d., and spring delivery, 50s. 9d. to 51s. 3d. 'Per cwt. _ _ _ The Liverpool. Cotton market yesterday closed heavily, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. In Railway Shares a fair amount of business was transacted, and values tended upwards. About £64,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday, being part of the remittance by the Marco Polo. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sultan, which leaves on Saturday for Bombay, will take out £42,780 in silver. The alteration made yesterday in the Bank of England rate of discount has given rise to some adverse criticism ; but surely the directors, who have adopted a successful policy during the last two years, amidst difficulties of no ordinary de scription, are fully qualified to regulate their own affairs. The maintenance of the minimum at 3 per cent. has not prevented money from declining in other quarters to 2 and 21 per cent. The commercial: public were free to choose the open market, if they preferred it, where greater facilities were granted than at the Bank of England, and they have no doubt availed themselves of the privilege. The Bank were justi fied in not relaxing their terms just before the dis- Atribution of the October dividends. The exchanges then presented an unfavourable tendency, gold was soon afterwards withdrawn, and several important remittances from Australia and other sources were immediately appropriated on continental account. It sometimes requires an exportation of three or four millions sterling to rectify an adverse exchange. This is confirmed by the highest authorities examined by the select committee of the House of Commons. Now, however, these unfavourable tendencies have all partly, in Some cases wholly, disappeared. The approach of the ,end of the year, moreover, has not augmented the demand for money, speculation is discouraged, and the position and prospects of affairs all stand forth in justification of the measure so unexpectedly adopted yesterday afternoon. - - Sorne buoyancy has been apparent in the Mar ket for English Securities to-day, the reduction in the Bank rate having given a slight impulse to speculation. The satisfactory Bank of ' France 'return, the influx of gold into the Threadneedle street vaults, and the rise on the Paris Bourse, have all assisted in giving support to values. Con sols have been 971 1, but they are now 981 1, a few sales in realization of profits having been effected. Special transfers are marked 981 1, and the ac count 971 and 971 a. The March Exchequer Bills are 345. to 375. prem. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have been dealt in at 971 0 and. India Loan Debentures at 99a-, being firmer. - In the Foreign Stock Market the transactions are rather numerous and prices have improved.

Reports the Polar Star, with one fish, and the St. Andrew (of Aberdeen), clean ; both were to leave the day after the Arctic, and she left on the 29th October. The Alihi (of Aberdeen) was spoken, but no date given, clean. The Arctic lost a boat's crew.

COTTRT OF Cl'IA mAßT,BonotTan-sTr= Lord Chi- tr•c:}lti>> APPEAL.-IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANS.-EX PARTE NICOIL, The Attorney-General (Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q. C.) resumed his argument in this part-heard appeal motion, this morn ing. At the conclusion of the argument, which lasted up wards of two hours their Lordships reserved judgment. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) J UDGMENT.-TOPPIN V. TYKE. Plaintiff claimed £2OO out of £5,000 paid by Government into court as the price of a patent for the manufacture of war rockets, upon condition that all parties interested the patent would consent to the sale and grant legal dis charges. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, after delivering a long and elaborate judgment, which occupied upwards of two hours, was of opinion that the plaintiff had assigned all his Interest in the patent to Government for £5OO, and a £2OO of a reserved interest in the patentee, Mr. Hales, fora sale of liunsea and for working the patent at the rate of £4 per week besides a per centage of £2O on the sale of rockets, and that the plaintiff might be entitled to these sums out of the money in court, but his Honour considered that there were other parties, Mr. Skinner, Mr. Sturgeon, and others in terested in this patent ; and as they did not come forward and join the plaintiff in granting discharges to Government, he could not make any order of payment in behalf of the plaintiff of the money in court. He therefore dismissed the bill with costs, and ordered the £5,000 deposited in court to be repaid to the proper officer appointed by Go vernment to receive it. THE NA VY. CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Jones and a Jury.) SINGULAR HORSE CASE-DEALING EXTRAORDINARY. CLARK V. WORTH. Plaintiff is a commercial traveller, and was represented by Mr. Metcalfe (instructed by Mr. Beard), and defendant is a draper, of 169, Upper-street, Islington, for whom Mr Stammers, instructed by Mr. Seyton, appeared. This was a new trial, a report having appeared in our columns of the previous one. The learned counsel for the plaintiff stated that, on the 31st July in the present year, plaintiff was induced to call upon defendant to see a bay mare that had been advertised for sale. He took an old man with him, and defendant being absent they were shown into a stable where the mare was stalled. Defendant's brother, Mr. Worth, and the groom were present, and the horse was walked about the yard. Plaintiff expressed a desire to see it in the street, but this was refused. He then asked if defendant would warrant it, to which the groom replied, " No, my master would not warrant a dog, much less a horse," Plaintiff then said he supposed it was all right, and the groom said, " Oh, yes, it is as sound as a bell." Upon this plaintiff said he would give the sum asked, £25. The plaintiff was informed that the horse would trot eighteen miles an hour, was very quiet, and the reason for selling was that she was too big. (Laughter ) The horse was sent home and the money paid. A very short time (three quarters of an hour) elapsed before plain tiff tried his mare, and upon putting her into a trot she went lame, and he then discovered that she had a splint under the left fore knee. Upon communicating with de fendant, he was informed that the animal must have been pricked in shoeing, but plaintiff desired to haVe his money back. He was then told to put the mare out to grass, and it would be all right. He did so, and it con tinued all wrong ; and as he could get no satisfaction from defendant, thb horse was sold at auction and fetched £5, and plaintiff now sought to recover the difference. Plaintiff and the person who went with him to see the horse were called, and swore to the above statement ; -the man, however, deposed that the groom said, "as sound as a brass bell." Plaintiff had not much experience in horses. The horse did not walk lame ; it was only seen when she trotted. The man said he was feeling the mare's foot when the groom said she was as sound as a b rass b e ll. A veterinary surgeon said the horse had a splint, and was no dimbt lame at least a month before sho was sold to plaintiff. Other witnesses were called, who proved that the horse was lame, and that it could be seen walking or trotting, and Mrs. Clark said that defendant called upon her, and, after some conversation, he recommended the mare being sent out to grass, and if it did not recover its sale ho would be a share of the loss. Mr. Stammers, for the defendant, then contended that there had been no warranty given. Defendant did not dis pute the lameness of the horse, but plaintiff had bought it with his eyes open. In fact, according to the testimony of some witnessed called for plaintiff, this mare was a well known " bad 'un." The evidence adduced for the plaintiff clearly showed that:a warranty was asked for and refused, and the words " sound as a brass bell" were nothing. He would call the groom, who would tell the jury what really transpired. Corbett said he had left defendant's service, but re membered plaintiff's calling about a bay mare. This wit. ness materially confirmed the evidence of plaintiff. At all events he would not swear that he did not say, "As sound as a bell." Cross-examined—Witness knew the horse was lame when plaintiff came to buy it. Did not tell plaintiff it was lame. (Laughter.) That wasn't his business ; plaintiff had eyes. (Laughter.) Might have said the horse was sound as a bell, but knew it was lame. Mr. Worth, jun., was called, and deposed that he did not hear the words "sound as a bell" used. Was present when the mare was bought, but never said she was lame. Mr. Metcalfe said he would dispense with that witness, as he had the former as the acknowledged agent of the defendant. The defendant was then called by Mr. Metcalfe (the other side declining to put him in the box), and, in answer to various questions, it was elicited that the mare was lame when he (defendant) 'purchased it in May last ; that he knew it was lame when he sold it to plaintiff—but he did not sell it on account of lameness. It was not so very lame. Never said in a public-house he was jolly well out of it. He (defendant) only wished to do what was right. (Laughter.) Mr. Metcalfe--Have you handed back plaintiff bia money ? Mr. Metcalfe then summed up to the jury, and denounced in strong terms defendant's conduct. He know the jury, as men of common sense, would not attend to any legal quib bling, but would give plaintiff what be was entitled to— the money that had been taken from his pocket for a lame mare, which ho had purchased upon a representation from defendant's agent that it was sound. The Judge then elaborately summed up against the plaintiff, and told the jury that he was of opinion there was no warranty, but it was for them to say. He then called attention to the evidence and marked some discrepancies. One person had sworn to a " bell," another to a " brass bell." Witnesses had been called for plaintinff who had sworn that the horse was notoriously lame, and this could be seen when the mare walked. Plaintiff had himself sworn that the groom told him his master would not war rant a dog, and the mere words, " sound as a drum," were only stable slang. He was aware a great deal of feeling was prominent on each side, but the jury must disabuse their minds of all local associations connected with the affair, and treat the matter as strangers. A Juryman—ls your Honour of opinion that " sound as a bell," does not constitute a warrantry ? Judge—Coupled with the preceding remarks, I say cer tainly not. Mr. Metcalfe--I shall note that, as it may be necessary to appeal. The jury then retired, and, after an absence of about ten minutes, returned, and gave plaintiff a verdict for the full amount. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C. A WITNESS IN A BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. TIDMAS V. WELLS. Mr. Forrester, from Mr. Beard's, appeared for the de fendant, from whom plaintiff sought to recover a sum of ls. for attendance upon a subpcena at the Guildhall in the cause of Reed v. Wells, breach of promise of marriage. Plaintiff stated that he was managing clerk in Messrs. Pickford's shipping departihent. He was subpcened by defendant, but was not called. His evidence would have been in favour of plaintiff in the breach of promise case. H e knew plaintiff. She gained the cause. Had good damages. (Laughter.) He attended two days. , Mr. Forrester contended that Tidmas could not recover, as he had received one shilling with the subpoena. It was laid down in Chitty that a witness could not recover for loss of time, unless he were an attorney, surgeon, or the like. Plaintiff—l was obliged to employ a substitute, and was not paid my salary during my absence. His Honour was of opinion that plaintiff could recover under the circumstances. Mr. Forrester thought plaintiff should prove his expenses, and in fact his claim was exorbitant. His Honour—You must pay him what his evidence was worth; you did not call him because his evidence was not favourable. Mr. Osgood thought the sum claimed was not too much The master would allow it. His Honour—l think ho can recover; ho ousht to have his guinea. He was called to a superior court, and upon a superior trial. Verdict for the plaintiff. DEATH OF SIR ARTHUR DE CAPELL BROOKE. — We have to record the death of Sir Arthur De Capell Brooke, lhaonet. Thedeceased was born in Bolton-street, May-fair, in 1791, and married in 18M the'relict of J. J. Eyre, Esq., of Endcliffe, near Sheffield. He was educated at Magda len College, Oxford, where he took his degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1810, but his name does not appeal in the honour list. In the same year he entered the army. In 1846 he became a major. The first baronet, Sir Richard Brooke Supple, assumed the name of Brooke, in accordance with his uncle ' s will, and adopted th e name of De Capell, in lieu of Supple, by Royal license. The deceased baronet is suc ceeded in - his titles 'arid estates by his brother William, who was born in 1801, and married in 1820 a daughter of Lord Sondes. , POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.I THIH i) EDIT lON A VIRAGO.--,ltridget Burton, a most impudent and vio lent woman, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, assulting a constable, and further with wilfully breaking four panes pf glass in one of the doors of the court. Williams, 97 C, said that he saw the prisoner sitting on the step of a door in Oxford-street, on the previous night, making a great noise. He told her to desist and to move away, when she became very violent, made use of the vilest language, tried tobite and kick him, and he was then com pelled to take her into custody. Pawsen, 123 C, said that, while waiting in the lobby of the court that morning, he saw the prisoner jump up with great violence, and, before she could be prevented, smashed four paneS of glass in the lobby window. The prisoner, during the hearing of the case, laughed, and seemed to enjoy the account of her behaviour, and while in the lobby behaved in a most abandoned manner. Mr. Bingham said the time for laughing was then over, and asked what she )iad got to say. The prisoner, who merely replied with a grin, was ordered to pay the damage, or be committed for 14 days. OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. In consequence of the Bloomer, which has been taken up by the Hon. Council for India, to convey reinforcements of cavalry and infantry troops to Bombay and Kurrachee, not being ready to receive the troops on board at Gravesend, the order for embarkation of the reinforcements yesterday was countermanded, and they are not expected to pro ceed for several days. The Wellesley, 72, Captain G. Goldsmith, C. 8., guardship of ordinary at Chatham, was paid down six months' wages yesterday. Admiral W. B. Bowles, C. 8., the senior but one of the Blue Squadron of her Majesty's fleet, is nominated to succeed Sir G. F. Seymour, K.C.8., as Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth. Captain Arthur Farquhar will be his flag captain, and Mr. Paymaster Fagen, R.N., secretary. The gallant Admiral is in his 78th year, and having been sent to sea in 1796 saw service in the old war. He was Controller-General of the Coastguard from 1622 to 1841, when he attained his flag ; from May, 1843, to May, 1844, he had his flag flying in the Caledo nia, 120, in command of a squadron of evolution, or " particular service ; " he was an extra aide-de camp to William IV., and represented Launceston in Parliament, and subsequently filled a seat at the Board of Admiralty, under the Earls of Hadding ton and Ellenborough, from May 13, 1844, to the Middle of 1856 ; Admiral Bowles married the Hon. Frances Temple, sister of Viscount Palmerston, in 1820, but has been a widower since 1838. The Hannibal, 91, Captain Gordon, depot ship of the steam reserve at Portsmouth, is reported to be " turned over" to the St. Vincent, 101, the latter ship taking the ordinary guardship's moorings off Gosport. The same report says that Captain Eyres, C. 8., now of the St. Vincent, is to have the command of the Illustrious to serve his time in for his flag, the young gentlemen training for sea ser vice in that ship, under the command of Captain Harris, to have six weeks' holiday, and on their return the three decker Britannia, 120, is to be ready to berth them. _ _ The Himalaya, steam troopship, Commander J. Seccombe, is in the steam basin at Portsmouth having some defects repaired in her line of shafting. The brig Eagle, from Quebec for Stockton-on- Tees, arrived at Spithead on Wednesday morning with serious damage from some vessel off the " Wight " during the previous night. It was too dark to distinguish the foreign vessel's name, and when hailed they refused to give any answer. The Eagle has her topsides cut down to the water's edge, rails, bulwarks, and stanchions knocked away, &c. The foreign vessel left part of her figu re -h ea d on the Eagles deck. Lieutenant J. C. Soady has been promoted to the rank of Commander. The following appointments were made yester day at Amiralty : Lieutenant—The Hon. Armar L. Corry, to the Orion. Surgeons—Dr. J. J.

Coastwise, a full average supply of English wheat has come to hand during the week ; but the receipts fresh up to-day by land carriage were small. Although the show of samples was limited, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, but no quotable change took place in prices. To have forced talek, easier rates must have been submitted to. Over 18,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand. The trade was in a most depressed state, and Monday's currency was nominally unaltered. There was a decided increase in the show of barley, and all kinds were very dull, at barely stationary prices. The transactions in malt were trifling, at Monday's quotations. We were extensively supplied with oats, which moved off slowly, at a slight decline in value. Beans, peas, and flour were very dull, at barely the late depression. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

He says—" I shall continue to pay my respects to as many voters as I can until the day of election, when I hope to have the high honour of becoming one of your representatives ; and I shall endeavour, by a strict discharge of my parliamentary duties, and by pro meting the welfare of the agricultural classes, along with the various other interests of the country, to make some return for your kindness and confidence." The election will take place next week. MAJOR-GENERA L WADDINGTON, C.B.—Another of the brave comrades of Sir Charles Napier has been taken from among us. General Waddington entered the service of the late Hon. East India Company in 1812, at the ago of 16 ; his service thus extended over 46 years, during which he filled the posts of inspecting, execu tive, and superintending engineer, and at one "time commanded the Sappers. In 1846 he was appointed com maniling Engineer with the Scinde Field Force, and served there both prior to and during the conquest. Hewes .at the great battles of Meeaneo and Hyderabad, and for his gal lantry received the Companionship of the Order of the Bath, with brevet rank as lieutenant-colonel and the Meanee and Hyderabad medal. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—Yesterday was the third day of the cattle show, and although per mAoret I th e a ,e n le e e q k ual th l e ed ad t j h e o urn se of ed the first per haps, not quite so fully attended as o n W e d nes d ay, st ill the d ay number of the of visitors exhibition. of the Smithfield Club was held in the committee-room, under the presidency of Lord Berners, at which a committee of 16 members was appoi n t e d to carry' out motion to endeavour t o o bt a i n a more commodiousltr. 73ibl.eitig t' s for future sho ws . It must b e borne in mind, however, that u such motion cannot take effect for four years to come, even should the removal be found desirable, as the terms of the agreement of the club with Messrs. Boulnois, the proprietors of the Baker -street Bazaar, do not expire till after the cattle how of December, 1861. The other business of the club da7 , \ merely of a routin e c h arac t er . Th e sa l es during the were unusually brisk, and more especially among the prize lnimals very few of which now remain unsold. The ampler ent galleries were a great source of attraction, morn especia ly the agricultural produce stands of the Royal Dublin Society, of Messrs. Gibbs and Co., Messrs. Lawson of Edinburgh, and Messrs. Starving of Liverpool. Key's and Burgess's reaping machines and the combined reap ing macines and threshing machines also attracted great attention. FATAL ACCIDENT--On Tuesday evening a man na'ned Richard Grace Sage, aged 34, was passing along the Old Kent-road, and on reaching the canal bridge proceeded towards the opening of the steep stone steps les.ding down to the banks of the Grand Surrey Canal, no doubt imagin ing that it was a urinal. The unfortunate man, before he could recover himself, pitched head downwards from the top to the bottom. His cries attracted the notice of several persons, who discovered him at the foot of the steps in a State of insensibility. He was taken to the Bridge House Tavern, and Mr. Hooper, of Maismore-place, surgeon, at tended, but the poor follow expired from injuries to the skull received in his fall. From Norway it is stated that Mr. Crowe, the able and energetic BritiSh consul-general at Christiana, has been summoned forthwith to proceed to London, that the Government may have the benefit: of his experience in as sisting them in their attempts to remodel the British con sular system. They will then also have an opportunity of learning personally from Mr. Crowe his opinions on the übject of Schleswig, which his late investigati ons mus t .ave p: epared him to afford. 3ulcir able, ikas ow- d by ffled s, of what FIX - ,easinl Co.'s. 109 i
