NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE LATE LIEUTENANT W. P. GREEN. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—We hasten, at the earliest possible period after becoming acquainted with the real circumstances of the case, to repair an injury which we xnay have inflicted upon an institution which has proved itself worthy of its title. Commander Dickson, secretary of the Royal Naval Benevolent Society, did, immediately on the receipt of Mrs. Green's application, forward, per return of post, 51. to relieve present distresses, with a printed form, pro mising further assistance. This prompt and really bene volent donation fully exculpates both the institution and its secretary from the charge of neglect. We have much pleasure in further adding that Captain Dickson has in terested himself, in conjunction with Sir John Richard son, M.D., medical inspector of the Royal Hospital, Haslar, in the endeavour to get the eldest daughter into a lunatic asylum, of which receptacle, we are sorry to say, she is too fit a candidate, grief having been the chief cause of the loss of her reason. We are happy to announce that subscriptions are coming in quickly, and that in a few days a list of donors will be fully advertised. In the meantime all 1 subscriptions are requested to be forwarded to Captain or Mrs. Pasco, of the Victory ; Mr. Lowes, surgeon, I Cold Harbour, Gosport ; or to our correspondent, 53, High-street, Portsmouth. We are requested to state, respecting the grounding of the Avenger steam frigate on her passage hence to Plymouth in charge of a navigating party from the St. Vincent, that the course steered was S. W., and not S.E. The Sparrow surveying ketch, Commander Otter, ar rived on Friday night from the coast of Scotland to refit and lay up for the winter months. She was towed into harbeur yesterday. The Mercury tender, Second Master Scarlett, re turned yesterday morning from Plymouth with Lieute nant Moorsom and the remaining portion of the crew of the St. Vincent, which was employed in navigating the Avenger to that port. She sailed again last night for the eastern ports with supernumeraries. The Apollo troop ship, Commander Radcliffe, is or dered to Sheerness, but whether to be paid off or refit for further service is not ordered. The Rochester navy lighter sailed yesterday with stores for Devonport. The Inconstant, 36, Captain Fremantle, was at Bey rout on the IGth ult., expecting to be ordered home im mediately. The Daphne, 18, Captain Onslow, sailed from Valpa raiso on the 29th of August for Rio and England, re ported with freight. The Hazard, 15, Commander Egerton, sailed from Singapore for Hong-Kong on the 7th of October to meet the Admiral. She is ordered home forthwith. The Lily, 16, Commander Newton, is on her way home (as stated by us some time since) from the coast of Africa. On her arrival two or three courts-martial will be held on the officers on board her in reference to conduct complained of by them as having been practised on board the sloop. The Mutine, 12, Commander Tryon, went out of har bour yesterday to Spithead, and took in her ammunition. She is bound to the River Plate with dispatches for the Commander-in-Chief. APPOINTMENTS.

Bernard Delaney, Acting Assistant-Surgeon, to the Caledonia. John Davison, Acting Third Engineer, to the Ceylon. 11. Petch, Master's Assistant, to the Mutinc.—Times. THE LATE THOMAS 1100 D.—It is with deep regret that we have to announce the decease of the widow of the late Thomas Hood, the celebrated humourist and poet. The public are aware that Mr. Hood's life was closed in the midst of much physical suffering and much mental anxiety ; and there is little doubt that the un wearied exertions of Mrs. Hood, her unceasing attend :trice on her husband's deathbed, and the grief and trial which preceded and followed her bereavement, have been the immediate causes of the disease which has thus pre maturely terminated her existence. She expired on the morning of Friday, the 4th of December. DEPARTURE OF SIR II POTTINGER.—SOUTII AMPTON, Dec. 6.—The Oriental Company's new steam ship Haddingtan, Captain Warner, went out of dock yesterday, en route for Calcutta, calling at the Cape, Mauritius, Gibraltar, and Madeira. She takes out ship letters, a full cargo of company's stores, and 50 passen gers, among whom are Sir Hoary Pottinger and family. The Haddington, on leaving the docks, was most heartily cheered by the crews of all the other vessels in the basin. The South-Western Company's steam-ship Transit, Captain Whitworth, left the docks at eleven A.M. this day, with 25 passengers and a cargo of iron and hard ware, bound for Carreel. Her return cargo will consist of fruit and cattle. CHLLD BURNED TO DEATIL—On Saturday Mr. Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of John Morris, aged five years and six months, whose parents reside at 3, Broad-yard, White cross -street. The evidence proved that deceased, on Wednesday morning last, during the temporary absence of its mother, set fire to its clothes. The little fellow had the presence of mind to roll himself up in the bed clothes, by which means he extinguished the flames, but not before he was most frightfully burned. He was taken to the hospital, where he died on Thursday night. Verdict—" Accidental death." DOVER HARBOUR.—We understand that the memorial of the mayor and corporation of this town to the Lords of the Admiralty, representing the necessity of the erection of a low-water landing jetty at Dover, has been most favourably received; and that their Lord. ships feel convinced of the necessity of such a conve nience in a national point of view. We also understand that their Lordships have instructed their engineer, Mr. James Walker, to make out an estimate of the probable cost of the erection of such a portion of the refuge har bour works as would serve the purposes of a low-water landing pier.—Dover Chronicle. FATAL ACCIDENT IN ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.— On Saturday Mr. William Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Shadrach Ephraim Hammond, a painter, late of 3, Friar's-place, New Kett-road. It appeared that the deceased, on the 20th of last September, was engaged painting a portion of St. Paul's Cathedral, and whilst standing on the top of a large ladder, or stage, he overreached himself and fell, first on the head of another workman, and finally to the floor. He was picked up, and the only external injury that could be seen was a slight cut of the skin ever the left leg. He was taken to the above hospital, but, being afflicted with consumption, he continued gra dually to sink till Thursday last, when he died. Ver dict,' Accidental death." MU. PISTRUCCI.—We are sorry to have to state a very severe and painful accident which happened on Monday last, the 30th ult., to Mr. B. Pistrucci, the sculptor of gems, and her Majesty's chief medalist at the Royal Mint. Mr. Pistrucci, who has for the last two or three years been resident in the neighoourhood of Windsor, and incessantly engaged on the completion of the Waterloo medal, unfortunately slipped down the steps :leading from his house to the garden, and, falling with his whole weight on his right ankle, sprained the limb to such a degree that he is entirely confined to his bed without the 'power of moving, and it is feared that it will be long, perhaps some months, before he is able to get up and resume his usual occupations. The delay which is thus occasioned in the completion of the medal, both the dies of which were within almost a few weeks of being finished, will add to the pain felt by the artist and his friends at this very untoward occurrence. THIRST IN AFRICA.—This heat takes away all ap petite, and one longs for nothing but a shady tree and a gushing fountain; all elsys vain. It is strange to see the efforts made by every creature, when we are coming near a spring or brook, to reach it quickly. The weary faces of the so2diers resume their animation ; the horses and mules, who smell it half a league off, begin to neigh, and, on reaching the water, both men and beasts plunge into it to satisfy their burning thirst. General orders and sentinels are of no avail—what is punishment, or even death, to the s aldier at such a moment? He would much rather die by a bullet than by thirst. Most of them lose all self- cont.asl, and drink till they are literally full. I have seen then i drink with a small tin can, called a qcart, which each sulk tier carries hanging to his button hole, as much as five or, 'ix pints at a time. It is extra ordinary that more do nt.l die of it ; but the water is generally warmed by the t 3.111, and the subsequent mar^h ing.brings on prof use perspir a ti on.— F renc h in Algiers. ANOTHER TESTIMONLA,L TO MR. COnDEN.—We are glad to learn that anotlaer testimonial is intended to be presented to our distinguished townsman, Mr. Cobden, in acknowledgment of his eminent services in the cause of free trade. This tribute of respect will emanate from the numerous and respectable body of commercial tra vellers, representing most of the leading, mercantile houses in London, Manchest,n, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham. &c. The subscriptions, though not large, are expected to amount to a sum large enough to purchase a piece of p late worthy of Mr. Cob den's acceptance, and of being Landed down as an heir loom in his family.—Manchester A rumour, says the Observer, has been in circula tion for the last few days that Louis Philippe has de manded a congress of the Powers of Europe, with a view to his laying before them the whole of the circumstances connected with the Montpensier marriage, and also the position in which, is consequence of that marriage, he finds himself placed with the other Courts of Europe, and especially the Coati of St. James's. The King of the French, it is added, repudiates the idea of having acted with bad faith to England, or in any way which would justify the cessation uf that friendship which has so long subsisted between Fraaace and this country, and in the perpetuation of which there will be found the best, if not the only, guarantee fur the preservation of a Euro pean peace.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 7. RIGBY V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. The Lord Chancellor, after disposing of this case, which came before his Lordship to be spoke to on the minutes, proceeded with the further arguments in the part heard case of " Chuck v. Cremer," the facts of which we have already given in detail. The case occupied his Lordship the whole morning. VICE•CHANCERY COURT, Dec. 7. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) This being the Second Seal after Michaelmas Term, the Court proceeded to hear motions, none of which call for a particuiar notice. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.) WINTER V. WINTER. _ _ _ The arguments of this part-heard case were concluded this morning. His HoNoun reserved his judgment. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. Baucs.) ROBINSON V. ASTEN. This was a motion for the issue of an attachment against the defendants, John and Robert listen, of Wol ♦erhampton, for a non-compliance with an order of the Court of the 3d of last November. It appeared that the defendants were ordered to execute a deed of partner ship with the plaintiff within four days from the date of the order, but that the deed remained still unexecuted. His HONOUR considered that this was a matter which could have been arranged at the office, and refused to grant the order. After hearing some uninteresting motions, the Court rose shortly after eleven o'clock. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 7. ALLEY V. GAIN. Mr. Chambers (with whom was Mr. Ball) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder appeared for the de fendant. Mr. CHAMBERS stated that this action arose out of that great mania for speculation in railways which took place in the year 1845, and in which the defendant was extensively engaged. The plaintiff is a surveyor. The defendant was a butcher, residing at Kennington. In the course of the railway mania a scheme entitled the Lincolnshire and Eastern Counties Junction Railway was formed, and on the 9th of October, 1845, the defendant wrote to the parties engaged in the project to have his name inserted in the list of the provisional committee, which was accord ingly done. In the late decisions upon this class of cases, in the:Court of Exchequer, it had been held that the mere fact of any man's name appearing on the provisional committee would not entitle any parties to bring an action against him, but that the jury might take into consideration the important fact, of whether it should appear upon the prospectus that the provisional committee had employed parties to make surveys, or had in their prospectus in any manner made themselves liable or responsible. In the prospectus which had been set forth in this case the provisional committee de scribed the various facilities offered by the line, stating that persons had been employed to make the necessary surveys, and on the face of it it must appear to the jury that the plaintiff was in this case clearly entitled to re cover according to the view taken by the Court of Ex chequer. The amount sought to be recovered was 2031. 19s. 6d., the balance of an account, for part of the money had been handed over. The Learned Counsel then read the prospectus, and called Mr. White, the secretary to the company, who proved the insertion of the defendant's name upon the prospec tus, of which 3,000 copies were printed and issued. Mr. CROWDER objected that, although the defendant wrote to request that he should be placed upon the pro visional committee, he had not authorised their publish ing his name to the world. The Learned JUDGE reserved the point. Mr. LEWIS, the engineer to the proposed railway c.im pany, proved the moderate nature of the plaintiff's charges. He stated that he employed surveyors to do work for the company; but he should not have done so had it not been for the list of responsible persona whose names appeared as provisional committeemen. All the work was done by him on the reponsibility of the company. Mr. Furlong, a surveyor, also proved that the plain tiff's charges were fair and reasonable. The company had not yet been dissolved. Mr. Brace, the solicitor to the eorcpany, employed witness to arrange the sections. By Mr. CROWDER—Considered that Mr. Brace em ployed him on the responsibility of the company, as se t forth. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. CROWDER rent wed his former objection, and con tended that the prospectus could not be received in evi dence, as there was nothing in the defendant's letter to warrant the parties in publishing his name to the world with any responsibility attached to it. This letter merely said `• insert my name as a provisional committeeman;" but did not say, " publish my name as a provisional committeeman." had the prospectus been sent to him, and he had offered no objection to it, it would be another thing, but nothing of the kind was proved. The LORD CHIEF JusTicE was of opinion that the ob tion of Mr. Crowder was a good one, and the question should abide the decision of the jury. Mr. CHAMBERS said that it would be a pity that the cause should have to come to trial again, and he would therefore offer a little additional evidence. He then called Mr. Ambrose Moore, one of the provisional committee men of the railway, and chairman of the committee of management, who proved that the name of the de fendant was on the 14th of October read from the pro spectus at a meeting of the committee at which the de fendant was present. He made no objection to it, nor was any objection made to its insertion. By Mr. CROWDER—Does not know that this action is sanctioned by the company. Nor does he remember that any resolution to the effect that actions should be brought against any person or persons whose names should be mentioned was passed. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that after this evi dence the prospectus could be received. Mr. CROWDER then submitted that the case was not supported on the evidence, which did not in any way fix Mr. Gain. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that the view he had always taken of these cases was, that when a man said he would become a provisional committeeman, and authorised the company to issue his name in a pro spectus, in any character whatever, lie must mean some. thing by it. If he wished to be a committeeman it was strong evidence that he authorised the company to publish his name through the word in that character. He could take no judicial notice of the word provisional committeeman, but it had a meaning in the world, and the jury, looking at all the facts of the case, must form their judgment as to whether the defendant had ren dered himself liable to the plaintiff or to the public. Mr. CROWDER then contended that as there was an acting committee on and after the 14th of October, therefore, they were liable, and not the members of the provisional committee. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that it was for the jury to decide. Mr. CROWDER the addressed the jury, and contended that as the plaintiff commenced work on the 30th of September, and the defendant did not join theprovisional committee until the 14th of October, the plaintiff must have had some agreement stated or implied with other parties, and with which the defendant could have nothing to do. If the verdict were given against him in the pre sent case, Mr. Gain would be liable not only to the extent of 2031., but to the extent of 28,0001., the whole liabili ties of the company. He knew that Mr. Beckett, one of the managinitmen of the company, had struck out Mr. Gain's name, as he did not wish any tradesmen's names to be seen o❑ the committee. When the committee was registered Mr. Gain's name was struck out, and notice of the erasure was given to him. He hoped that the jury would not sanction the injustice of compelling the defen dant to be liable to this ruinous extent. Mr. UDALL (who was with Mr. Crowder) then called Charles Russell, who stated that in the month of Oc tober, 1845, he was engaged as a coPying clerk by Mr. Beckett. The defendant requested that his name should be put on the list of the provisional committee. Witness placed it on the list. It was not the act of the corn pany. Afterwards saw Mr. Beckett strike out the defendant's name from the printed list, and inquire who he was. The name was struck out between the 13th and the 15th; believes it was the 14th. By Mr. CHAMBERS—Cannot speak precisely to the day. Mr. Pritchard stated that he is one of the clerks to the register of the joint-stock company, He has the book containing the list of the provisional committee of the Lincolnshire and Eastern Counties Junction Riilway Company. The registry was made on the 15th of Oc tober. There was a previous registry of the 22d of . Septemb er . M r. Gain ' s name is not in that registry. In the registry of the 15th of October Mr. Gain's name is printed, but islstruck through with a pen. The con sents of all the other persons on the list to be provi sionally registered as committeemen are appended, but there is no consent of Mr. Gain's to be on the provisiona committee. Mr. Beckett was then sworn—He stated that he was one of the solicitors to the company. He had to get up the lists of the provisional committee. Has in his possession the written consent of all the members of the provisional committee. Mr. Gain's name was put on the list by mistake, and was afterwards struck out. Witness never considered him to be on the committee, and has informed the parties that the present action could not succeed. By Mr. CHAMBERS—Witness and his brother were the projectors of the scheme. The list was registered on the 22d of September, and in consequence of many additional names being entered it was again registered. Witness has brought an action for a bill for 3,000/. against Mr. Fisher, the owner of the Caxton Press, and one of; the principal tradesmen in the city of London. Witness has given an indemnity for 10,0001. to several gentlemen fur using their names. Mr. CROWDER objected t 4 this examination." Mr.: CHAMBERS said that as his friend argued that the provisional committeemen only gave their names to sanction the undertaking, and were not liable, he (Mr. Chambers) had is. right to show that something more than a mere undertaking to sanction the line was consi dered necessary. He then addressed the jury in reply, and contended that when the insertion of Mr. Gain's name was sanctioned by the committee, Mr. Beckett had no authority to erase it, and that Mr. Gain was, to all intents and purposes, a committeeman. The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, regretted, that if there were any solvent persons connected with the company, that they had not been singled out, in stead of the defendant, who had been sued, as it ap pealed to him, upon very slight grounds. The question for rtheir c onsideration was whether the defendant h a d anyi way ren d ered himself liable by causing himself to become one of the provisional committee. The de fendant h a d wr i tten to be placed upon the. committee, And the question was, how far--takin g all the eircura- stances of the case into consideration—he had so rendered himself liable. The jury, after a short consideration, returned a Yerdie for the defendant COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 7. PAYN V. PRITCHARD. This was an action in which the plaintiff, a railway surveyor, sought to recover the sum of 46L, the balance alleged to be due to him for work and services rendertd as a leveller upon the London and Birmingham Exten sion Railway, and the Worcester and Warwick Railway, for Mr. Pritchard, the engineer to the above lines. Mr. M. Chambers, with whom was Mr. Hayes, ap peared for the plaintiff ; the Attorney-General, Mr. Ashton, and Mr. Humfroy for the defendant. From the evidence in support of the case of the plain tiff, it appeared that he was engaged by Mr. Bushell, the managing clerk of the defendant, as a leveller, in the commencement of October, at the rate of one guinea per day ; subsequently, as the wages of that class of persons rose in amount, it was increased to one guinea and a half per day. The plaintiff now elaimed the sum of 461, as a balance of the sum of 1081. due to him from the 10th of October to the 2d of December, 1845, at the rate of three guineas per day. It was the custom of all the persons employed by the defendant to send every week to Landon " a time bill," showing how they had been engaged, and also what other necessary expenses had been incurred; and it was from these " time bills" in the office of the defendant that the present claim was made out. Mr. HUMPREY, in his address to the jury, contended that the defendant was not liable to pay the present large amount. Plaintiff was engaged at the rate of one guinea per day, which was afterwards increased at the express wish of the defendant to a larger sum, and al though the time bills forwarded to London by the plain tiff contained charges at the rate of three guineas per day, still it was not until the month of Decem ber last that the defendant was made acquainted with the charges. Be thought that at least the plaintiff should give some evidence that the work was actually done for which he made his charge. The Learned Counsel proceeded to say that the plaintiff had himself admitted that he had received the sum of 701. for his services from the 10th of November to the 2d of December, and that a further sum of 71. 6s. was paid into Court, and contended that this was ample re muneration for the services of a person who had entered into an agreement at the rate of one guinea and a half per day. A number of witnesses were then called on the part of the defence. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up to the jury, said, that with reference to the disputes as to what portion of the line the work was done upon, he thought the proper course would have been for the defendant to take out a summons before the judge at chambers for the particulars of demand, the plaintiff wishing to know upon what portion of the line such or such work was done. Such a demand would always be granted by the judge, upon a proper affidavit, stating that the plaintiff had reason to believe that the work in question was not done. The questions for the jury to consider were, first, by whom the plaintiff was employed, then whether the work in question was really done, and if done, were the charges for such work correctly made, and if so, what was the balance now due to the plaintiff. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict for the full amount, 461. 16s. His LORDSHIP granted immediate execution. WILSON V. LORD CURZON AND ANOTHER.—LIABILITY OF RROVISIONAL CO3IMITTEEMEN. This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to re cover the sum of 1251. for half a year's salary due to him as secretary to the Canterbury and Herne Bay Railway, from the defendants, members of the provisional com mittee. The Attorney-General and Mr. noggins appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and another gentleman for the defendant. From the opening statements of the Attorney-Ge neral it appeared that the plaintiff was a civil engineer, and the projector of the company. lle obtained the names of a number of influential individuals, among v. horn were Lord Curzon and Mr. Stuart, who was also a member of the provisional committee of the Thames Navigation Embankment Company. A provisional committee was subsequently appointed, and one of their first acts was to appoint the present plaintiff the secretary to the company at a salary of 250/. per annum ; and he was ordered to receive applications fur shares in the company. Both of the defendants were present at the appointment of the plaintiff, and at a subsequent meeting to consider the claims upon the company, they admitted the claims of the plaintiff fcr the sum of 125/. The above facts having been proved by witnesses called on the part of the plaintiff. The LORD CHIEF BARON said that in his opinion there was no evidence to go to the jury except the facts before him, and from them there was nothing for them to find. It was a simple question of law, and in his opinion the plaintiff ought at once to be nonsuited ; or, if a verdict should be returned for the plaintiff, it should be with leave to enter the verdict for the de fendant. Mr. MAaTIN could not consent to the latter proposi tion ; he did not intend to call any witnesses. There was no case whatever to go to the jury. The Loan CHIEF BARON thought it was very clear from the Act that the promoter of a railway company could not sue any member of the provisional committee. It was lawful for the promoters to act as provisional com mitteemen ; and it was also lawful for the promoters to allot shares, and receive deposits, and pay the expense of the formation of the company. There was, however, no authority by which they could sue any member of the provisional committee for these expenses. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—AII person whose names are registered are taken as promoters. The Court has lately decided that the members of a provisional com mittee are not to be considered as partners in the concern. The LORD CHIEN BARON did not think that in the present case there was anything at all to go to the jury. In his opinion the case was perfectly clear. The plaintiff' was accordingly nonsuited. Leave was then given to the Attorney-General to move to enter the verdict for the plaintiff, if the Court should be of opinion there was any evidence to go to the jury. WADDY V. DILLON AND OTHERS. This was also an action in which the q uestion of provisional liability was raised. The plaintiff was the Parliamentary agent of the London and Manchester Direct Railway, and sought to recover a large sum of money due to him for professional services rendered during the early stages of the formation of this company. The defendants, seven or eight in number, were mem bers of the managing as well as the provisional com mittees of the London and Manchester Direct Railway. Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Bayley appeared for the plaintiff; the Attorney-General and Mr. noggins for the defendants. It appeared that the services rendered by the plaintiff to the company consisted in part of obtaining the names of good, influential, and first-rate persons as members of the provisional and managing committees of the railway in question. From the evidence called upon the part of the plain tiff, it appeared that he had recommended six persons to be elected as provisional committeemen. The late secretary of the company, who was called, stated that the plaintiff had sent in their names, and that some of them were elected. The application to become members of the Provisional Committee were so numerous that he was literally deluged with them, and he considered that the great object of the applicants was to obtain an allot ment of the shares. The LORD CHIEF BARON—Does the whole of the plaintiff's claim arise from printing these names? If so, I think the plaintiff must be nonsuited. Mr. M. CHAMBERS said that he would call other witnesses, who would depose to other professional ser vices rendered by the plaintiff. Another witness was accordingly called. The LORD CHIEF BARON intimated that no further progress was being made by the evidence of that witness. Mr. M. CHAMBERS said that he could not go any further with his case. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. THE SVN, LONDON. TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1846. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 7. , . .. Tha Court was occupied all the mor n i ng with a pedi gree case, which was adjourned from Saturday. HOLDSWORTIL W. GIBSON AND OTHERS.-ALLEGED NZ WS' PAPER LIBEL. This was an action brought by Dr. Holdsworth, re siding at Plymouth, to recover from the proprietors of the Plymouth Journal damages for an alleged libel, which appeared in that paper on the 12th of February last, arising out of certain proceedings of the Royal Western Yacht Club. The damages were laid at 5,0001. S'r F. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channel, and Mr. Smith were for the plaintiff; Mr. Ccckburn, Mr. Green. wood, and Mr. Hoggins were for the defendants. • The defendants pleaded not guilty, and also that the charges put forth in the alleged libel were true. Sir F. MESMER opened the case on behalf of the plaintiff. The action, he said, was brought against the proprietors of the newspaper in question after the most careful anxiety and consideration. Unless he had done so, he could not have again held up his head in society. In order to meet the charge the defendant, not content with denying the libel, had declared on the record that the charge was true. With regard to the plaintiff, the consequences of the trial were most important. If the verdict goes for the defendant the consequences to the plaintiff would be most disastrous ; whereas, should it go for the plaintiff, it would be but little reparation for the injury done, while the defendant in that case would, in all likelihood, not sell a single newspaper the less. The plaintiff in the action is a physician, a married man with eight children, who, in 1845, established himself in practice at Plymouth, and, up to the time of the unfortunate circumstance which led to the present action, had been much respected. Shortly after settling in that town he got elected into the Royal Yacht Club. In the month of February, in the present year, some circumstances arose in connexion with that club which led to the calling together of a general meeting of its members. A discussion took place, and the result was the blackballing of the plaintiff and another member. This was a matter unfor tunate enough in itself, but the matter did not rest here. In a few days there appeared in the newspaper in; question an article reflecting in the strongest manner on the character of the plaintiff; The public, it was said, liked strung meat in newspapers, and this, no doubt, was the cause of the article in ques tion being penned and published. That article was so gross and libellous that no course remained to the plaintiff, unless he would allow his character to be for ever blasted, but to bring this action. In order to put the jury in possession of the libel at the earliest possible period, he would read it. (The Learned Gentleman then read the alleged libel from the Plymouth Journal of Feb. 12 : " ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB. "COURT OF HONOUR. " EXPULSION OF TWO BLACKLEGS. "For some time past circumstances of suspicion had attached to two members of this club, owing to two gentlemen haying beef placked at the residence of one of the suspectei members in a manner that seemed to indicate foul play. One of the party was fleeced to the amount of 1,0701. in one evening at cards, and the other gentle man lost about 200 T. In the case of the first gentleman that we have alluded to the parties were betting on the turn-up card, and his op ponents managed to turn up a king nine times running. All these circumstances led to suspicion—that suspicion led to inquiry—and the inquiry has resulted in the expulsion of the two suspected per sons, and of one of them suddenly leaving the town. " A short time ago a person known to be a confidante of the ex pelled parties sought admission into the club. His name was O'Brien. He gave a crack entertainment a few days before he was to be elected, as he thought, and his party was graced by almost all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood. He was going to make his entree into the club in grand style. Two or three days afterwardh Ile stood the ballot, and was blackballed The next morning he bolted, and some of the poor tradesinn had to lament the character of his fashionable entertainment, and the great desi;el;Liiii;display. " The talk and excitement that this blackballing occasioned was very great. Other gentlemen who stood the ballot -about the same time trembled lest the same fate might await them, especially as one black ball in seven excludes any who may seek admh.sion. Sub sequent events prove that the course thus adopted with regard to Mr. O'Brien was a very judicious and wise one. " The events that we have described led to an inquiry into the character of a Mr. M—, who lived near the club, and into that of Dr. H—. Both those persons were citizens of the world ; we can not learn whence they came or whither they are going. On the 29th ult. the secretary of the club, Walter Lormer, Esq., by order of the committee, issued a circular, summoning a special general meeting of the members on Thursday, the sth inst., at noon, when informa tion forwarded to the committee from Tours, relative to the conduct of two members of the club, would be laid before them. The members generally knew what the object of the meetingofthe was, and club the reforeon Thursday last there was an ex ceedingly large attendance, there being nearly eighty members present. W. H. Hanker, Esq., was voted into the chair. Pre viously to reading the report of the committee, and the documents mentioned therein, Sir. John Beer, of Devonport, rose to inform the meeting that he had been consulted professionally, and that he attended the meeting as the professional adviser of the two persons implicated. It was then put to the meeting, whether a pro fessional man could appear there, and it was negatived unanimously and decidedly. " The history of their movements, as detailed to the meeting from sources beyond all doubt, was this—They were said to have been connected in a notorious gambling transaction with Mr. Connelty at Tours—that of marking cards—in which a French officer was made to stiffer most severely. Mr. Connolty was tried at Tours, and then he removed the trial to a higher court at Blois, and again into a higher court at Orleans, and had decisions against him in all cases, and he was for the offence imprisoned two years. There was then a tcharge :against them of malpractices in pl ay a t G uernsey, w h ere were ejected from the Civil and U n i ted Serr i ce Club—a l l of which:will be more amply.detalled in the letter of which we shall give a copy presently. Thus the circumstances that have occurred, which were not in the club, but by means of their connexion with it, werealso stated. " When these circumstances were known Mr. Lormer sent a letter to them. suggesting the propriety of their withdrawing. They replied to this by requesting to know what charges there were against them. The secretary sent a copy of the charges, to which they made no reply. ` On the meeting deciding that they would not hear a professional man, Mr. Beer and their proposer sent for them. The club waited for one hour and a half in order that they might offer any defence that they felt necessary. They, however, made no appearance, and sent back no answer, though one of them was seen from the window of the room walking about. " The letter received by secretary from Guernsey, in answer to Inquires was as follows : " The affair that took place in this island, with reference to these two black-legs, was this :—Th ey h a d got t h emselves Introduced into a club lately formed, called The Civil and United Service. Several strange occurrences had taken place iu and out of this club, Large sunis ot money were lost. Suspicion was afloat. They quitted and went to Baden. Something drove them out of that place, and they returned here. 31-- came back first, and wished to re. enter the club, but he was blackballed, and 31—, out of this occur rence, assaulted a highly respectable gentleman, for which he was sent to gaol for a fortnight. Shortly after this, a person from Paris came here te arrest him, and he stowed himself away in his house, which overhung the sea, and while the police were watching outside he let himself into a boat, and that is the last we know of him. "' You are in the right direction—Tours You may go to Ireland also—Tipperary, I think he was brought before the Court there for swindling. He made a bolt, and got out of Ireland in a somewhat slmllar way that he did out of this place. ." I hope that my friends at Plymouth have not been fleeced. " ' Mr. Lormer—You have been asleep at your post. " • Had Iliad the least supicion that these chaps would have had the impudence to introduce themselves at your club, I should have telt it a duty that I owed to have gone to Plymouth at my own cost to have put you on your guard.' "The letter and evidence having been read, and the members having waited till endurance could wait no longer, the meeting pro ceeded to ballot under the 11th rule, which provided that, ' In case any circumstances should occur injurious to the welfare and charac ter of the club, the committee shall call a general meeting, giving seven days notice, and in the event of two-thirds of the members present voting (by ballot) that the name of any member shall be removed from the list, the subscription of that member for the cur rent year shall te returned, and be shall cease to be a member.' The result of the ballot was a most awful affair. At the time of the vote being taken a number of gentlemen hat left, the proceedings having lasted three hours:— " Mr. M— has since lett the town, but the Doctor remains. " We think the inhabitants are under the greatest obligations to the members of the committee and to the club generally, for the prompt and determined manner in which they obtained evidence respecting these men, and acted upon it. They had introduced themselves into the society of every respectable stranik r who visited the town, with what intentions we leave our readers to determine The club is not likely to be impaired through having bad two or three black sheep in it. It still maintains its high and respectable character, and the honourable way in which it has vindicated itself from this possible stain will redound to its credit rather than detract from it. The club is of great public utility, it affords excellent literary qualifications to those of its members who desire to avail themselves of them, and it must be a source 01 pleasure to its friends to know that there are fifteen new candidates to be ballotted for at the meeting on Friday next." The Learned Gentleman then went on to show that the Dr. H-- represented could mean no other than the plaintiff ; that the other party named in the libel was a Mr. M'Donald, and , that the greatest injury b u d b een inflicted on the character of his client. Having ampli fied on these points, he proceeded to prove his case. The newspaper was put in, and admitted ; and the following witnesses examined as to the character of the plaintiff, and the identity of the plaintiff with the Dr. of the article: Richard Freeman, general medical practitioner at Plymouth. He knew the Royal Western Yacht Club, and had belonged to it. He also knew the plaintiff; he was married, and had eight children. He believed he was a physician. He recollected the publication of the Plymouth Journal of the 12th of February last. He knew no one in Plymouth to whom the initial H could apply but Dr. lloldsworth. Witness sent the paper to plaintiff, as he was sure it meant him alone. It was directed, to the best of witness's belief, against that gen tleman. Cross-examined—lle was not aware that Dr. Holds worth bad ever practised. He only knew that he gave himself out as Dr. lloldsworth. Be was not aware he had only put the name " Dr. Holdsworth" on the door plate since the publication of the alleged libel. Harry Snell, a chemist and druggist, Plymouth, de posed that he had made up prescriptions for Dr. Holds worth. He had received correct Latin prescriptions from Dr. Holdsworth before the dat e o f t h e newspaper. Cross-examined—He might have dispensed thirty or forty prescriptions for Dr. Holdsworth bf fore February last. He could not, however, say how many. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. COCKBURN then opened the ease for the defence. He said it would be his duty to justify the cours e t a k en by the defendants in this case. They had heard it stated that the plaintiff was a respectable man, but how could they come to that conclusion when it was known that a highly respectable and honourable club had unani mously expelled him after an anxious inquiry ; and when he (Mr. Cockburn) would prove, as prove he should, that not only had the plaintiff given himself out as a physician, but that ho was in Pl ymouth hut elsewhere. It was said the defendants had written to gratify a morbid feeling in the public mind for s t rong art i cles, mahce or ill-feeli ng had been displ a y e d ' but this he denied.. There was not t h e l east evidence to defendants in the article in question. As p u bli c journalists, knowing the facts alleged t o b e true ; showby the knowing that the highly . respectabl e club had igno miniously expelled the plaintiff, was it not the duty of them, as honest journalists, to warn the publ ic aga i nst parties of such dangerous and disreputable character? It was said the plaintiff was a member of a profession which they all respected, and they bad h ear d something of his correct Latin prescriptions ; but ors that he would be prepared to show that he had not, at least, supported himself by that honourable profe ssion. In o r d er to do that he would have to trace the pla intiff 's career since the year 1839. He would show that in 1839 h e li ve d at Wilsden near Leicester, from which place he left deeply in debt, which debts had not been paid to the present hour; that he left Wilsden for Tours in France, where he associated with a person named M'Donald ; and that while there the plaintiff, M'Donald, a n d a person named Connolty were continually togethe r at the gaming -table, working w ith . each o th er , and mixed up with most disgraceful proceedings. The Learned Gentleman here gave the facts, which he intended to prove in evidence. It was to the effect that Connolty had been convicted of marking and cheating at cards, and that, on the occasion, the plaintiff and M'Donald were acting with him in the matter. This Connolty was convicted for the same at Tours, and the sentence was confirmed by an appeal to a superior court, though, strange to say, he had the plaintiff and M'Donald to speak to his character. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to trace the plaintiff to Guernsey, where he got connected with a club, when again ho was rejoined by M'Donald. Here again they got deeply engaged in gaming affairs, and were mixed with similar dis graceful proceedings to those at Tours, inveigling members of the club to play at ecarte at the plaintiff's and M'Donald's private lodgings, and there, by practised gamblers' tricks, cheating the parties out of their money. While at Guernsey these two gentlemen had no visible means of subsistence, but seemed to live by victimizing all that came within their reach, They continued at Guernsey from the autum n of 1843 to 1844, when they went on a continental tour. They went to Baden, and again in a short time they returned to Guernsey, and wanted to get into the club, Dedonablyd,an wilituom immense et majority. claim Th i sadm isasrioosne, was but blackballed ae k I from the discoveries made respecting these gentlemen at play. The Learned Gentleman having amplified on these points, went on to trace their proceedings till they arrived at Plymouth some time after, giving in the pro gress a list of the victims that had been made, whom he stated he would produce in the witness-box, and the whole of who m, he s a id, would completely an d trium phantly just ify the article for which the plaintiff now sought to recover damages. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to call evidence. The case was adjourned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 7. IN RE DRYDEN. NOVEL APPLICATION. —In this case, which was an old fiat, the solicitor to the assignees applied to the Learned Commissioner t o annu l a dividend previously declared, and grant another meeting, on the ground that there was an error in the calculation, whereby one por tion of the creditors wore excluded from partaking in the dividend. _ The clerk to the official assignee said the error arose in consequence of the subsequent meeting for proof of debts not being taken into consideration, the consequence was, that the first creditors would receive two dividends and the others none at all. The Registrar said the dividend was declared so far back as the 18th October, 1845. The solicitor said it had not been advertised, and he conceived that the fund might be brought back from the dividend and placed to the general account. lie was a creditor himself, and also had a bill of costs. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could not un derstand why there had been so much delay, nor could he now withdraw the fund. The clerk to the official assignee said, that the solicitor to the assignees was aware, the day after the dividend WAS directed, that there was an error, and refused to sign the dividend paper, but he had not since taken any steps on the part of the assignee, or for himself; to have it set right till now. The Solicitor had been a great many times and never had an opportunity of speaking to his Honour. His HONOUR said that was quite incredible. It was clear that he was not entitled to costs which had not been submitted to audit at the audit meeting. He could not bring the money back, but would in a proper me morandum being put on the proceedings, allow an amendment, so that the new creditors might receive the first dividend which would exhaust the assets. SURREY SESSIONS. These sessions commenced yesterday before Mr. Puckle, chairman, and a full bench of magistrates. The first case taken was an indictment for an assault of a violent character, committed by Thomas Foulkes and Henry Foulkes, his brother, omnibus proprietors, on W. IL Balls, the keeper of a green yard at Kennington cross. It appeared that the former of the two prisoners, who had surrendered in discharge of their bail, had ap plied to the Insolvent Court for relief, and one of his omnibuses had been, as part of his property, delivered to Rutland, a sheriff's officer, for custody, and by him confided to the care of the prosecutor. The application of Thomas Foulkes failed in consequence of his having described himself as out of trade, whereas at the hearing the con trary was shown. This invalidated the petition, and it was shown by one of the messengers of the Court of Chancery, in the employment of Mr. Graham, the official assignee, that in such a case the property that had been seized immediately becomes reinvested in the insolvent, and if any of it has been sold, the proceeds are handed over to him. With this impression Foulkes and his brother went to Ball's yard to take away his omnibus, on the 23d of July last. Ball had, however, received a notice not to give up the property, as Foulkes had failed to pay the fees of the Court. Notwithstanding this circum stance, the two Foulkeses proceeded to take away by force the omnibus and the two horses which drew it. While getting the horses out, the son of the prosecutor took away the pole of the carriage, but they persevered, and as Henry Foulkes was driving the omnibus out of the yard, they were met by Ball, who, with his utmost strength, opposed their progress, and was violently struck over the hands, head, and face. The cries of the prosecutor ultimately brought the police to his assistance, and all went together to the station, where they were referred to the magistrates, and this indictment was ultimately preferred. Mr. CHARNOCK, who was retained for the prisoners, in addressing the jury, stated that the petition of Thomas Foulkes to the Court of Insolvency had been filed two years before this circumstance occurred. During the interval which had elapsed he had succeeded in making arrangements with several of his creditors, and he ceased to be a petitioner at all. He had, therefore, agreed to let the omnibus and horses to Ball, at a rent of 41. 10s. per week, with a proviso that all should be returned to him safe and in good condition, and that, in the event of the duty getting into arrear, or of the horses or the carriage being in jured, he should have a right to take them away at any time from the possession of the prosecutor. The rent had got three weeks behind hand ; there was a sum of 231. owing for duty, and one of the horses had died. Seeing this property thus injured, Foulkes and his brother had gone to Ball's yard to take it, and in the en • deavour to do so the assault was made, which the Learned Counsel asserted was justified to the very ut most, and put in the agreement between Foulkes and Ball, and signed by both of them. With respect to the allegation that the property was rightly detained under the Court of Bankruptcy, he would contend that, in the first place, no sufficient proof had been given that such was the cass. The property had been seized, not in the night, but in the light of day, and in the presence of the officers of the law ; and, under all the circumstances, whatever assault had been committed was in every way justifiable. Mr. CHARNOCR then called Mr. Bicknell, who proved the draft and execution of the agreement, and several other witnesses, to show that the nature of the assault had been much exaggerated. Mr. ROBINSON replied at considerable length, resting chiefly on the right of the prosecuton to retain the omnibus, as cne of the authorised per astO .of the Court of Bankruptcy. The CHAIRMAN, in summing up said, tliat there was no doubt whatever but that a violent assault had been committed, and the chief consideration for the jury was, whether it was or was not justifiable. It appeared that there were two liens on the omnibus, to which allusion had been made One of these was held by Mr. Rutland, the officer, and the other by Balls as the agent of the Court of Bankruptcy, and much stress was to be laid upon the respective times when these two liens were waived. Rutland had evidently given up his in the presence of Balls when the two brothers Foulkes went to take away the omnibus. That Balls did not give up his was shown lay his conduct ; and the whole case turned upon the point whether he was legally right. He was right if he was properly authorised by the Court of Bankruptcy, of which, indeed, there did not appear to be any sufficient proof, but of this the jury were to be the judges. If he was not properly authorised the as sault was justifiable, and the prisoners ought to be acquitted. The trial lasted from the opening of the circuit till nearly the close of the proceedings of the day, and, after much consideration in the box, the jury were locked up, not seeming likely to agree very speedily on their verdict. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. TUE BOSANQUET AND WIGRAM GANG OF SWIND LERS.—A clergyman waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of asking his Lordship's advice as to the most judicious mode of bringing to justice the swindling vagabonds who are in the habit of sending circulars round to tradesmen, offering money for bills. He had been induced by one of these circulars to apply to Messrs. Bosanquet and Co., as some of the squad called them selves, for cash for a bill of 1001. He deposited the bill with them, and was told to call next day. He did call, and he received 51., with an assurance that he should have all the rest a day or two after, but every subse quent application was unsuccessful. He never received a shilling more, and the bill, which he had no doubt was in circulation, would soon be due. The LORD MAYoR said that doubtless the bill would, if it should not be paid, be placed in the hands of some solicitor employed by the swindlers, and the applicant be sued upon it. He had within a few days received a vast number of letters from tradesmen in England Ire land and Scotland, inclosing copies of the principal cir culars offering pecuniary accommodation. The offers were made by these fellows with the view of getting re spectable bills Unto their possession, and they found it very easy to turn such securities to advantageous ac count, leaving, of course, the injudicious parti es w h o confided in them to pay them, or to bear the disagree responsibility. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) produced a bundle of letters containing circulars, some of which were signed Bosanquet and Co., factors and commission brokers, John-street, London-fields, London ; Messrs. Charles and Henry Shaw, Albany-road, London ; W. and C. Hanbury and Co., factors and commission brokers, Boston-street, Shoreditch ; Messrs. H. Franklin and Co., factors and commission brokers ; W. and J. An derson, Old Kent-road, &c. The LORD MAYOR said he had ascertained that the gang had most extraordinary:ramifications throughout London, , and that in many instances they succeeded. The plan had been carried on for a number of years, and with extraordinary pertinacity. In consequence of the notice already taken by the press of what he had stated with respect to the swindlers, he knew that many an inexperienced person had escaped the snare, and ho hoped the exposure would be continued, the circulars issued by all the persons were precisely similar. He thought it would be serviceable to quote a few lines addressed to tradespeople in the country : "Country correspondents who may require bills of ex change to make payments with, occasionally in the course of business, or to make remittances and payments to friends at a distance, can be accommodated with most respectable acceptances, at any date, and in any amount most suitable for their purpose ; of course these bills will generally be upon houses in the City, as usual, when their address or occupation will be found in a London. Directory ; or who may wish to have a house or two in London entirely to themselves, to accept for them, or draw bills upon at their convenience, may have the same arranged in a quiet and most respectable manner, either by letters of credit or otherwise. As the most important consideration in transacting this business is strict punctuality on both sides, in remitting respectable and bills when written for on the one hand, providing cash for payment of them when due on the other, an honourable attention to this on both sides cannot fail to remove any prejudice which might otherwise exist against bills conducted conducetrneedueper the this prin ciple. We speak from daily Pi charac ter and respectability of the epartiesx accepting the bill s, will at all times bear the strictest inquiry. It is p art i. cularly requested, if thi s circular is of no immediate service it may not be shown unless to a confidential and respectable friend, whose object it is likely to serve, or you might wish to avail yourself of thi s ass i stance upon some future occasion, as it is not multiplicity of business we want, but respectability, and on the safe, quiet, mercantile manner which our friends have now for SO many years approved of ; and by pursuing the same course in future to merit a continuauce of that respect able support which we have already experienced and which it will be our study to deserve. Mr. Goodman said the only course which appeared to him to be of any efficacy, under the present circum stances, was exposure through the press. By-and-by something might start up in which a mag i strate would have the opportunity of exercising his authority offi cially. The circular, it is proper to say, resembles very strongly a notice prepared by the notorious Richard Coster, whom Sir Peter Laurie contrived, by remark able perseverance and sagacity, to transport to New South Wales fro m th e M ans i on House. - BOW-STREET. John Wallace was charged before Mr. Hall, with being concerned with others in robbing Henry Carver, a lad of about 14 years of age, of the sum of 11. 75., at a coffee shop in King-street, Covent-garden. The prosecutor stated that he came to town on Friday evening last, from Hertfordshire. Ile had when he came to town 11. 18s.. He took a lodging immediately at the Hope coffee-shop, in King -street. On Sunday evening he was sitting in the shop taking his tea, and took out of his pocket a tin box (in which he kept his money). for the purpose of paying for what he had taken. The prisoner and another boy were sitting in the box with him. After he had put his money in his pocket he thought he eft the hand of one them in his pocket, and he ook his money out, and was going to put it in another pocket, when the boy who was sitting opposite to him snatched it out of his hand and ran away, followed by the prisoner. Witness ran after them, but at the door of the coffee-house the prisoner turned back and knec.ked him down. Thre it. or it By. in tics pociitc— he was not sure which. Policeman F 60 said that he apprehended the prisoner this morning, kn3wing him by the description given of him by the prosecutor. The prisoner was an associate of thieves, and suspected by the police, Mr. HALL supposed that I . IAW he tool lost his money he had no means of lopp , irtiog whiie e w s looking for employment. The boy said that he had a few shillings deposited in the hands of the coffee-shop-keeper, and that would keep him until to-morrow, when he would go to look for work. He had no doubt he would get engaged by some fruiterer in Covent- garden market. Mr. HALL sent for Moore, the beadle of the market, and asked him whether he thought it possible to get the boy any employment in the market? as it he was lift to himself it would be the ruin of him. Moore promised to get him a ticket to work in the market immediately. The prisoner was committed for trial, Mr. HAIL ob serving that if his accomplice was taken he could also be committed immediately, and they could be tried to gether. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Charles Hagan and John Hull were charged with picking the pocket of Mary Ryde, a servant out of place. The complainant said she went into the coffee-shop, 265, Oxford-street, on Sunday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, to have a cup of coffee. A little after she had been there, the prisoners came and sat down at the table where she was, the prisoner Hull being by her side. She could not swear to seeing the money taken, but she had it in her pocket after she sat down in the house, and she once felt Hall's hand in her pocket. Inspector Whall said, a young woman had come up and signed the charge-sheet, to whom the prisoner, Hagan, said he very near had had the complainant's money. Police. constable D 33, said, he believed the female witness was afraid to appear, on account of the threats which had been used towards her by the prisoners. The prisoners were known as the associates of a gang. Mr. HARDWICK remanded the prisoners till Wednes day, and granted the police-constables a warrant to bring up the other witnesses. CLERKENWEL L. A very respectable looking man named Everett, who was described as a watchmaker, was charged with threatening Wm. Evans, a broker, and attempting to cut his assistant's throat with a razor. It appeared from the statement of both complainants that they went to execute a distraint for rent in the prisoner's house, and when he came home about 12 o'clock at night, being at the time the worse for liquor, he used the most violent threats to Evans, and taking a razor from his pocket opened it and made a rush at them, but was held back by Mrs. Everett. He then got into a paroxysm of rage, and made an attempt to cut his own throat, but was fortunately prevented, and given into custody. The'defendant denied that he contemplated doing any injury either to the complainants or himself; but he acknowledged that he was excited at seeing two strange men in his house at that time, and might have used violent language. He was ordered to find bail for three months. late rates.

During last week the arrivals of English wheat, barley, and oats for our market coastwise were on a very extensive scale ; but a large portion of the former article went direct into the hands of the millers. Fair average suppli es o f oats were received from Scotland; but the only arrival from Ire land was 900 quarters of barley. The imports of Foreig n wheat and flour were only moderate , but those of ba:lev and oats were unusually large.
