The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week were on a very limited scale, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples. Of all other kinds of Grain of home produce the receipts were scanty, while from Ireland and Scotland they were unimportant. Taking the foreign supplies as a whole they were good, but no particular article came heavily to hand. Fresh up, a fair average quantity of Eng lish Wheat was received, in good condition ; yet the actual quantity on offer—owing to nearly the whole of the late un sold samples being previously disposed of—was compara tively small, owing to which the demand for most descrip tions was steady, at an improvement in the cur rencies obtained on Monday last of fully is per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. The show of free foreign Wheat was tolerably extensive, yet the inquiry for that article was very firm, and a good business was doing in it at prices a trifle over those paid last week, at which the holders were by no means anxious sellers. Very little Wheat, or, indeed, any other grain, was on offer in bond ; yet the supply proved, owing to the absence of spe culative buyers, fully adequate to meet the wants of the dealers. In prices we have no alteration to notice. A few hundred quarters of bonded Wheat sold for the French markets at full prices. The quantity of Barley was rather limited. Selected parcels of Malting moved off readily, at extreme currencies, but the mid dling and inferior kinds commanded very little attention, though we cannot call them cheaper. There was rather more inquiry for Malt, but the high rates demanded for that article, and the small quantity on show ' checked business. The trade, how ever , may b e ca ll e d stea d y, at full prices. With Oats, we were very scantily supplied. Fine parcels were held at a trifle more money, but all other kinds were much neglected. The transactions were by no means large. For Beans the inquiry was heavy, at previous figures. The show of foreign Peas being large, the trade was dull, at barely stationary prices. In l lour, comparatively little was doing, at last week's figures.

We had on offer to-day about 300 Beasts, 650 Sheep, and 10 Calves from abroad, in middling condition. With home-fed Beasts we were but moderately supplied. The few prime Scots on sale commanded a very ready sale, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, but the mid dling and interior breeds, which formed the bulk of the supply, were very dull, and somewhat lower. From the northern districts we received 800 Shorthorns, from the western and midland counties 900 Herefords, 90 Devons, &c , and from other parts o f En g land 500 of various breed s . The numbers of Sheep were moderately extensive, and of prime quality. The best old Downs sold at late rates, but all other breeds were quite 2d. per Blbs. lower.

The Lor*Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to-day, shortly after ten o'clock, and before twelve o'clock had disposed of all the cases in his paper, thereby concluding the hearing of all the appeals at present set down before him. His Lordship will not sit to-morrow, there being nothing for him to proceed with. On Wednes day, which is the last day of term, his Lordship will hear motions, and after the first seal his Lordship will probably take original causes. IN RE ROBSON—PETITION OF RIGHT. Our readers will recollect that this case, which came before the Court u p on an application for a c ommission to inquire into th e a ll egat i on of a pet i t i on o f right, was ordered to sta n d over till to-day, in order to give the Attorney-G enera l an opportun i ty o f consi dering what course he would adopt on behalf of the Crown. On the case being called on this morn iug, it was stated that there was no objection to the course proposed to be pursued by the petitioner. CHRISTIAN V. FOSTER. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed and concluded to-day, and The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judgment on Wednesday. The only two other appeals on his Lordship's paper, Stocker v. Dawson, and Hawkes v. Howell, having been disposed of, his Lordship rose before twelve o'clock. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) STAINES V. TAYLOR. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed to-day, and occupied his Lordship the whole morning. VICE - CHANCERY.—(TITIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) The further arguments in the part-heard case of Terry v. Wacher occupied his Honour the whole day. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) GEARY V. NORTON. This was a cause in which the plaintiffs, Messrs. Geary and Co., shawl manufacturers, in Leeds, sought for the continuance as well as the costs of an injunction that had been obtained last year to prevent the defend ants, James Norton and James Ford Haneford, selling an article called the Royal Mecklin Shawl, which had been registered by the plaintiffs. It appeared that the defendants, who travelled about for business, had obtained an order from a person named Burrell to supply him with a number of the shawls in question, and that Norton accordingly went to a Mr. Scott, shawl manufacturer, in Leicestershire, and got the order executed. This coming to the ears of the plaintiffs, they had a correspondence with the defendants, and eventually obtained the injunction. The infringement of the patent was admitted by the defend ants, but they contended that the injunction was an un called-for and vexatious proceeding, they having but four days before it had been obtained, and on the dis covery of the fact of the shawl being a patent article, wrote to the defendants, promising to suspend the sale of all the shawls of this description in their possession, of which there was a large number. At the conclusion of the arguments, His HONOUR said he would order"the defendants to pay the general costs, and would continue the injunction. QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE OVERSEERS OF KIRBY LONSDALE. In this case a mandamus had been obtained in the Bail Court, at the instance of a person named Tennant, who had been a paid assistant-overseer of the parish, but who had been discharged from that office by the Poor law Commissioners for improper conduct, calling upon the overseers of the parish to produce the authority under which they held their offices. Mr. GODSON, Q.C., now applied to the Court to dis charge the rule with costs. He read an affidavit from Alderman Thompson, the largest proprietor in the town ship, stating that the value of Tennant's property in the parish was only 101. 16s. a year, that the overseers were appointed by the votes of nearly the whole of the parish, that the conduct of Tennant had been refractory and litigious, and that his only motive in the proceeding was to harass and annoy the overseers so appointed. He was supported in his application by a person named Grundy, who appeared anxious to become one of the overseers, but it appeared by the affidavit that he was not a substantial householder , and not a fit person to the matter aggrieved he m i g ht ap pealby certiorari hold to o uc te h h an ae o a ffi si c e ( n ). s, l o f r h b e ri f n e g lt into this Court. He had, however, appealed, but un successfully, and he now came to this Court in order that he might annoy the parties, and put them to great expense. Mr. NA.MSEY, who was with Mr. Godson, argued that such an application was wholly unprecedented and untenable. Mr. PASHLEY argued, on the other hand, that a party who was interested in the appointments, like Mr. Ten nant, had a perfect right to call upon the overseers to show by what authority they held their offices, espe cially as he was prepared to show that they were not duly appointed. He cited the authority of Lord Camp bell, who, when Attorney-General, so argued, and cases in which the Court had granted writs of mandamus to inspect the accounts and other documents appertaining to the affairs of the parish in which they wero rated inhabitants. A ratepayer, quite irrespective of the amount of which he was rated, had a perfect right to make such an inspection: it would be most unjust to refuse him an opportunity of doing so, because, though his stake might be small, he had to contribute his quota to the expenses of the parish, and he had a perfect right to examine the expenditure. He submitted that the rule should be made absolute. The COURT considered that the opposition was un precedented and uncalled for. The rule must, therefore. be discharged, with costs. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE regretted that he granted the rule in the first instance; he should not have acceded to it if the facts detailed to-day had been before him. THE QUEEN V. THE CODIMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. The ATTORNEY - GENERAL said he had to show cause against a rule which had been obtained by his Learned Friend, Mr. Crowder, calling upon the Commissioners of Sewers to show cause why a certiorari should not be directed to them, calling upon them to remove into this Court a presentment which they had made against William Kinnaird Jenkins, bearing date the 18th of August last, and relating to the construction of a sewer under Monmouth-road, Paddington, with the ord er o f t h e Commissioners referred to therein. Mr. Justice Erie would no doubt recollect that the case had been before him on affidavits at chambers, and that his Lordship refused to make an order to stay proceed ings after the 10th of November. The facts were simply these:—The affidavit of the Commissioners stated that Mr. Jenkins applied to them for power to build a new sewer from certain houses in Monmouth-street, St. Mary's parish, into a sewer called the Ranelagh sewer, the main sewer of the district, which was under the direction of the Commissioners. The new sewer did not extend to the boundary line of Mr. Jenkins' pro perty-, and the Commissioners in acceding to his application on th e 1 8th of August last, directed him to carry it to the boundary he had, however, contemptuously refused to obey this order, although he had received notice that the Commissioners would exercise the powers vested in them if he did not comply with the order—namely, amerce him in the sum of 3,0001., unless he should complete the sewer in the course of one calendar month. It went on to say that a Mr. Anderson had obtained leave to build a sewer in connexion with the Ranelagh sewer, which ought, for the public benefit, to form a junction with Mr. Jenkins's sewer, and that they made an order to carry this into effect, but that Mr. Jenkins had built a wall which en tirely prevented Mr. Anderson from completing the con nexion, therefore causing a ,‘ hindrance and impedi ment ;" and h e was amerced in a fine of 50/. The re gulations which the Commissioners were empowered to enforce, with respect to persons making sewers, stated that all persons who had obtained leave to construct sewers leading through property divided by boundary adjoiningin ord e r to property. deprive the H Commis s i on e rs lines, being se p arate property, should be requ i re d , w h en such bo un d ar y was within thirty feet of the b uildings, to carry it to th e outs i de of the boundary l i ne of such the very li m i t o f hi s land, but he stopped two feet short, built power hisg a o ld v . e e r n th a e t sewer, and to prevent any one from forming a junction with it without paying him. Mr. Anderson built on the adjoining lands, but he was unable to complete his on account of the hiatus of the two feet. He appealed to the Commissioners, who directed Jenkins to complete the sewer in two months. When the matter was before the Commissioners various objections were made— namely, that the notice was not properly served, and that he had no notice of the proceed ings ta ken against him. No notice wa s neces sary,as they were in the nature of an inquest. and the proceedings were merely preliminary. Objec tions had been since raised to the followi ng effect: _ . That he was only a life-owner of the estate, and that the Court had no power to amerce build . the him; that they h a d no power to compel him to sewer beyond the extent of the boundary; that the fine was excessive, and that the jury were misled in imposing it, and that his interest in the property was not adequate to the proceedings against him. Now the defendant had admitted that he had notice of the inqui sition. Then he did not traverse as he should have done, if he wished to urge those objections. It might be said that an action might be brought by the Com missioners for breach of contract; but by the 47 Geo. 111., see. 3, the commissioners themselves were ems powered to punish pe rsons so offendin g by amercement or otherwise. He had always treated with the commis sionerswner of the as if he was t he ?. Property, an d t h e adopt, if he wished get the fine set proper course to .. to the Lords of aside, was by application the Treasury. Then the sewers became the property of the Commis sioners of Sewers. He trusted on those groun d s that the C o urt would discharg e the rule with c osts. Mr. BoVILL followed on the same side. Mr. CROWDER appeared in support of the rules He contended that the sewers were not . the p roper t y o f the commissioners , but of the public, for whom they were t rus tees, and that the orde r of the commissioners was the power which they possessed only inasmuch as only extended to t h e construction of sew ers un d er t h e superintendence of their officer, and not t o t h e ent i re ' right of sewers built at t he expense of private persons. It would be absurd to say that an Act passed in the 47th of such George 111. gave them a monopoly o f pr i vate property, without affording the owners c ompensat i on. proceeding was to aff or d Mr. The real object of the proc An derson certain conveniences at the expense of Mr. Jen kins, who had done all he was required to do , in a substantial manner years ago • but now in 1846, fault was found with him. H e was, however, willi ng to complete the sewer o n terms to be arranged between him and Mr. Anderson. It was a great public question whether the Commissioners did or did not exercise powers to which they were not strictly entitlqcl. , NOVEMBER 23, 1846. They had the control of public, but not of private, sewers, except to see that they were properly made, and did not become a nuisance, under the 47th of George the Thi.(:, under which they stated they exercised their powers. There was no language in the Act to justify such an arbitrary power as was exercised by the commissioners, and set forth in the bye-law, and un less for the public good were not empowered to compel a person to carry a sewer thirty feet beyond the spot he might require it. If it was held to be good, they might compel a person building houses to carry a sewer 200 feet further than was necessary, on the supposition that the public would be thereby benefited. lle then went on to deal with the other objections, all of which he held were fatal, and trusted the Court would make the rule absolute, in order that the whole matter might come be fore the review of the Court. Mr. Bristow and Mr. Higgins followed on the same side. The COURT conferred together for some time, but took time to consider. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) YATES V. THE COMMISSIONERS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER.—CONSTRUCTION OF THE LANDS' CLAUSFS CONSOLIDATION ACT. Mr. WORDSWORTH, on behalf of Mr. Yates, applied for a rule, directed to the Commissioners for the Im provement of the City of Westminster, calling on them to show cause why they did not deliver up to Mr. Yates the appointment of an arbitrator, in order that it might be made a rule of Court to enforce an award. The question would affect the construction of the Lands' Clauses Consolidation Act, as passed in the last session of Parliament, His client was the proprietor and occupier of some premises in Tothill-street, West minster, and he reeeived notice from die Commissioners that his property was required for the purposes of the Act under which they were appointed. Mr. Yates sent in his claim, and the matter under certain provisions was referred to arbitration. The result was that the sum of 1,7261. Bs. was awarded to Mr. Yates. That award gave great dissatisfaction to the Commissioners, who were determined to resist it. By the Act appointing the Commissioners, the Lands' Clauses Consolidation Act was incorporated with it. By these joint Acts it was enacted that, in case any dispute as to the amount of compensation should arise, the matter might be referred to arbitration, each side choosing an arbitrator, who in their turn should choose an umpire. The matter being once submitted to arbitration, could not be withdrawn un less by consent of all parties ; and the party in possession of the award and the dncuments submitting the case to arbitration were compelled to furnish copies, and to allow inspection and use of the original. The Commissioneis in this case were applied to to give up the award and submission, in order that they might be made a rule of Court as it was expressly provided in the Act, but they refused to do so, as a copy had been furnished but the original detained. Mr. Justice ERLE—The question is whether the rule is to be to show cause why the original document should not be delivered up, or why the authenticated copy should not be made a rule of Court. Mr. WORDSWORTH said that was the difficulty, but the rule and alternative could be given. Then a very important question arose, as to what documents con stituted the submission under the 25th section of the Act. The question must be decided very shortly, as it would affect the interest of every railway com pany, or company for improvement, which had been formed since the passing of the Lands' Clauses Con solidation Act. The Learned Counsel then cited several authorities as to the mode in which the rule should be given. Mr. Justice ERLE granted a rule nisi, to show cause why the original documents should not be delivered up, or in default, why the copy should not be made a rule of Court instead, THE BISHOP OF EXETER V. LATIMER. Mr. MONTAGUE SMITH applied, on the part of the Bishop of Exeter, for a writ of certiorari to remove an indictment which had been found against Thomas Lati mer, the proprietor and publisher of a newspaper called the Western Times, in the city of Exeter, into this Court. The Learned Counsel stated that the libel was one of a most scandalous nature upon a dignitary of the Church, and attempts had been made by the defendant to prejudice any chance of a fair trial in the city of Exeter. The circumstances to which the libel had reference arose out of a speech made by Lord Seymour to the electors of Totues, with reference to the dismissal of a gentleman named Shore from the cure of a chapel. The language of the libellous article was very strong and personal• The affidavit on which the motion was made was from Mr. Gibson, the Bishop's attorney, and stated that a true hill had been found against the defendant; and that upon the indictment the circumstances relating to the pe tition of Mr. Shore and the speech of Lord Seymour, and also some transactions between the Bishop of Exeter to the Duke of Somerset would be brought into question, with other matters of very considerable importance, and fit only for the judgment of a special jury. The affidavit also stated that the paper of the defendant was circu lated amongst the class of persons who formed petty juries in the city of Exeter, and that several articles had appeared in it calculated to prejudice any fair or un biassed decision on the indictment.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN-WYLD V. HOPKINS. Mr. MARTIN resumed the arguments in this case, which were in part heard on Saturday. The scheme in question was the Nottingham and Peterborough Junc tion Railway, which was provisionally registered on the 4th of Sept., 1845. On the 29th of the same month a prospectus of the company was registered, containing the name of Hopkins, the defendant, " Director of the Staffordshire Potteries and Manchester Direct Railway." On the 10th of October a letter was addressed by the defendant to the secretary of the company, desiring him to allot him his full number of shares as a provisional committeeman. The .order for the work was given to the plaintiff by the solicitor to the com pany, and this was given, he would contend, on the authenticity of the provisional committee, of which the defendant was a member. The questions left to the jury by the Lord Chief Baron, at the trial, were—First, did the members of the provisional committee acknowledge, by the insertion of their names in the prospectus, that they were to be responsible for those expenses necessary for the formation of the company? Secondly, did the defendant authorise his name to be so used? Thirdly, did the defendant authorise his credit to be pledged for those expenses? Fourthly, was the work done on the credit of the defendant? He would now contend, in answer to those questions, that by the defendants placing his name on the provisional committtee, he became a mem ber of a quasi parnership, and that by doing so he had pledged himself for the payment of those expenses ne cessarily to be incurred under the 27th sec. of the 7th and Bth Vict., and that the fact of his permitting his name to be used was evidence to go to the jury of his giving to the party ordering the goods authority to pledge his credit for the same, and further, that in per mitting his name to be inserted in the prospectus was sufficient proof, that he was willing to pledge him self for such expenses, and that the liability was not thrust upon him against his consent. Mr. Baron PARSE—IS there any evidence to show that he bad authorised his name to be inserted in the prospectus ? Mr. MARTIN—I apprehend there is, my Lord. Mr. Baron PARKE—A man may consent to be a member of a provisional committee, but it is a very dif ferent thing to give his consent to have his name go forth to the world upon a certain printed paper in con nexion with certain statements, such as are contained in the prospectus of this company. Mr. MARTIN—He had written letters to the secretary subsequently to his name appearing on the prospectus acknowledging the fact of his name appearing there, and made no objection to it. The Learned Counsel pro ceeded to quote a number of cases in support of his argument of the liability of provisional committeemen. Seven of the judges of Westminster hall had adopted that view of the question, juries had always taken the same view of it, and it would be going contrary to the commonest dictates of reason and understanding to dis pute the point at the present period. Mr. BARON PARSE—Is there any evidence to show that, by the party permitting his name to be used in the prospectus of the company, he meant anything more than merely ~t o recommend the scheme, or to say in effect this is a bona fide scheme, and not a mere bubble got up for improper purposes ? Mr. MARTIN—His name being in the list on the pro spectus is, in my opinion, an acknowledgment of his liabilty to bear his part of the expenses incurred prior to obtaining the Act of incorporation. Mr. WILLES was heard against the rule. Mr. WATSON than proceeded in support of the rule. There was no analogy between the case of a co-part nership and the case of a provisional committee, and the sole question with which the Court had to deal, was whether there was a contract between the plaintiff and defendant. And upon that he would say, that there was clearly no contract whatever, neither was there any evidence to show that he had given authority to any person to enter into any contract on his behalf. All the defendant ever did was to sanction his name being used as a provisional committeeman. He never attended any meeting, and that for the best of all possible reasons—because there never had been any meeting. The order was given by the solicitor without communicating with the defendant, or either with any other member of the committee. It was well known that the solicitor had no power whatever to bind his client ; his business is to do certain work, for which he is to get paid by his client. The mere fact of being a provisional committeeman was not in itself sufficient to render a person liable. It would be absurd to suppose, in the case of a committee appointed to adopt measures for obtaining a repeal of the corn-laws, or, as in the sister island, for the repeal of the union, that one member of the committee could bind another. There were numerous expenses required, such as parties advertising prizes for essays, &c.; but it surely cou ld not be supposed that one member of a committee could offer 1,000/. for an essay, and by such offer make another member of the committee liable. A case was tried lately, in which a member of the Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews gave orders for a new translation of the New Testament, but it was ruled that the committee was not liable. The COURT postponed their decision until the hearing of the other railway cases. WYLD V. SLOAN. Upon the trial in this case it appeared that the plaintiff was not in fact interested in the issue, he having merely lent his name to the managing committee, and that up wards of forty actions bad been brought in his name by the solicitor, to compel some members of the provisional committee to pay their share of the expenses. A ver dict was returned for the plaintiff—damages, one shilling. Mr. MARTIN now showed cause against the rule ob tained a few days since by Mr. Hoggins. His argu ments were not brought to a conclusion when the Court ose. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) MACEY V. THOMAS. Mr. Sergeant NVIL7iINS moved fur a rule nisi for a new trial ii; this case, on the grounds that the verdict was against evidence and surprise. The action was tried last week at the Guildhall, and the verdict was for the defendant. It was to recover 1001. on two bills of exchange, and were for the purchase of the good-will of a coffee-house in Bishopsgate-street. The defence was that the extent of the business had been misrepresented by the plaintiff, and this defence, which came upon the plaintiff by surprise, was alleged by plaintiff to be un founded. Rule nisi granted. KENT V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD proceeded to show cause against a rule nisi obtained the present term, calling on the master to revise his taxation of costs in this action, which was brought by the plaintiff, a carrier, against the Great Western Railway Company, and in which he re covered a verdict. The defendants objeeted to allowing the costs fur serving the notice of action, and preparing and delivering the particulars of plaintiff's claim. The Court, having heard Mr. Sergeant Channel in reply, ordered the rule to be discharged with costs. IN RE MRS. SHUTTLEWORTH. Mr. O'BRIEN moved a writ of habeas corpus, directed to Dr. Milligan, ordering him to bring up the body of Anna Maria Shuttleworth, an alleged lunatic. A mo tion of a similar purport had been moved for in the Bail Court in the present term, and the writ was argued be fore a full Court of Queen's Bench, when the rule was discharged on technical grounds. On that occasion Mr. Justice Erie was reported to have stated that the certifi cates did not enter into the question of sanity or insanity. These, therefore, were not raised fully then, but now he was prepared with affidavits to meet that question. He had the certificate of Dr. Quail, who) had known her for five years. He stated his opinion that during the whole of that period, at the time when she was taken into custody, she was not insane. He had also the affidavit of a Mr. Dyer, who had known her for thirty years, and which also denied the alledged lunacy. An affidavit to the same effect was likewise put in by a lady named Caroline Beachey. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—On whose behalf do you app Mr l ? y . O'BRIEN—On behalf of Dr. Quail, with whom she resided when taken. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Take a rule to show Cause on the whole merits. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE DINGLEY. Charles Bingley, described as of Charles-street, Spital fields, trimming-manufacturer, was brought up in cus tody to pass his last examination. He was supported by Mr. Stammers as counsel, and opposed by Mr. Hudson as solicitor to the assignees. It appeared that no accounts had been furnished by the bankrupt to the assignees, but Mr. Stammers con tended that under the Act of Parliament the assignees were bound when the bankrupt was in prison to send in an accountant, and afford the bankrupt access to his books. Mr. Hudson, in reply, argued that the Act was not compulsory on the assignees, but merely permissive, and that under all the circumstances of the case they would not have been justified in doing so. The Learned COMMISSIONER acquiesced, especially as it appeared that the bankrupt had engaged some person to make out his accounts. His Honour said he must adjourn the examination until the accounts were furnished. Mr. HUDSON said this was a very complicated case, and he had, on behalf of the assignees, to put it forth as one of gross fraud. It appeared that he had been for a long time carrying on business in different places, and latterly was married to a Mrs. Davis, who carried on the same business. He was not only married to her, but it would, no doubt, be proved that he had several other wives, and that there had been a regular conspiracy. Just previously to the bankruptcy, the bankrupt had obtained goods to a large amount from different persons, some of which had found their way to Mrs. Davis's place of business, but she, after assigning certain property and debts to a person named Mitchell, who had married her daughter, absconded with the property or proceeds sent in by the bankrupt. The police had been after her for some time, but without success and the bankrupt was taken by them in the act of flight. Mitchell, to whom Mrs. Davis had made the assignment, had been examined, and that was the only account of the bankrupt's affairs which had come to the assignees. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked whether they had not succeeded in taking any property? Mr. Hudson said, when the bankruptcy took place the messenger went to the place he had been inhabiting with his supposed wife, but all the property had been got away; but, after the bankrupt's arrest they took advice, and seized some of the property assigned by Mrs. Davis, on the ground that if bankrupt was married to her she could not assign the goods being sent in by bankrupt, although the business was carried on in her name. The bankrupt was then examined, but refused to say whether he was married to Mrs. Davis or not. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the bankrupt was not bound to answer, if the answer would criminate him. Mr. Hudson put his question in another form, and re quired to know whether his wife had told him of the disposal of the property, either before or after his arrest? The COMMISSIONER—You must not say " his wife," but ask whether it was Mrs. Davis, or the woman he called his wife. Mr. Stammers objected that even such a question might lead to a criminal inference, and be collateral evidence of the bankrupt was indicted for bigamy, and, on the authority of the ease "Re Kirby," in Montagu's Report, a bankrupt was not bound to answer a question to obtain indirectly that which could not .be got in evi dence directly. The Learned CommissioNEn said that it might be taken so far as the civil effect of the answer went, though not to be used criminally. The bankrupt was then examined as to the disposal of his goods, and he declared, that although he had heard where some goods were taken to within a fortnight, and had the address written for him, he could not remember it. His memory was " that bad," he could not remember, and he was a bad scholar, and could not read without a good light and plenty of time. He had given up the address to his accountant. He could not say who had given him the address. The Learned Comtism/En said he was on that oc casion inclined to commit the bankrupt, but perhaps a private examination would give . him the opportunity to refresh his memory. The examination was adjourned for a fortnight. Bankrupt admitted that he was daily supported in prison from the proceeds of the sales by " his wife." CRIMINAL COURT-(ThIS DAY.) OLD COURT. These sessions, the first of the present mayoralty, commenced to-day before the Lord Mayor (Sir George Carroll), the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and other of the civic dignataries.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The November general sessions for the trial of offences committed within the district of Westminster, c ommenced this day at twelve o'clock. The grand jury having been sworn, the Assistant- Judge charged them very briefly, and after the lapse of a considerable time a true bill was sent in against Thomas Jones, who was indicted for stealing half-a crown and three shillings, the property of Mr. J. Well spring, chemist and druggist, of No. 3, Chandos-street, Charing-cross. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor and his apprentice, that on the 15th inst. the prisoner entered the shop while there was no person there, and, leaning over the counter, drew out the till, from which he took the above sum, and then ran away. He was, however, followed by the apprentice, who never lost sight of him until he was taken into custody, at the corner of Hen rietta-street, Covent-garden. The prisoner was co.ivicted, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour, six weeks of which were to be solitary. Edward Bishop, a well-known pickpocket, was con victed of stealin g a s ilk h an dk erc hi e f f r om the person of Thomas Lock, and was sentenced to six months' impri sonment, with hard labour. Margaret Macarthy was found Guilty of stealing three and another. shawls, the property of Charles Tomkins She was sentenced to four months' imprisonment. Henry Williams pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing 10s., the property of Harriet Evans, with whom he lodged, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. 411111,amilion. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) T. M. Wheeler and John Whithorn were charged with assaulting William Rogers, in Dean-street. The complainant r aid he was passing the defendant Wheeler's door, in E lean-street, this morning about one o'clock, in company with his wife and a friend, when Wheeler grossly ins ;ulted him, and then knocked him down among some t nicks and rubbish. Police-constable C 57, saw a crowd of about 50 per sons come out of a. public-house about one o'clock, and the defendant Wheeler, after passing some way along the street, knocked the complainant down. When he had Wheeler in custody, the other defendant, Whit horn, attempted to rescue him. The constable said there was a Chal let Society there, which met every m p e u m b b li e c r - s h o o f u w se h , ic a h n , d a c fte re r at t e h d eir_zp eat : _ - ._‘.., m ? ..0..,-...-- iSnugn, adjournedday eN • enin g t , 0 the th deal of disturbance in Dean -street every Sunda 7: ,''', : '- .'' _' and Monday morning. ..47 -i.7!' %... .-' , c_l; '‘' - -3 The defendant Wheeler said the prosecutor lb , . - ' 24 r 4 charged him with robbing the funds of the sccie ...Pr. . , , l ''',. . -... perhaps he was irritated, but he denied striking .. .! • "'. ~- -- 1 - -- - - 1 , ,,14 had been stated. .. , , ~ r. , s. - Mr. HennwicK—What are you?

FALMOUTH, Nov. 21, NINE P.M. The Penguin packet, Lieutenant Leslie, came in this evening at about seven o'clock from the Brazils, bringing mails and dates from Rio Janeiro to the 3d of October ; Bahia, the 15th; and Pernambuco, the 22d. The following are passen gers by her—viz., Mr. and Mrs. F. Grigg and four children; Mr. Petty, Mr. de St. Dames Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Banzi ger , M rs. Vi rtue, and Miss dray, from Rio Janeiro; and Mr. Davenport from Bahia; and she has on freight about 16,0004 in gold and precious stones. Exchange at Rio, 274 and 28 • Bahia, 27f ; and at Pernambuco, 28. At Ri o the c offee supply was abun dant; and sales, the fortnight prior to the departure of the packet, amounted to 70,000 bags, leaving a residue of 40,000 bags stock. Sugar, although scarce in the market, was expected to be a large crop. Freights at Rio firm, at 50s. and 5 per cent. ; but few vessels in port. _ _ At Bahia, freights ranged from 40s. to 50s. Her Majesty's brigantine Griffon had arrived at Rio on the Ist of October, in thirteen days, from Monte Video. Political affairs remained in the same state as when the Gorgon left on the 13th of September. The Penguin left at Rio her Majesty's ship Crescent, Curacoa, Swift packet, and Dido ; the Spider was ex pected there daily from the River Plate en route to Eng land, and her Majesty's brig Grecian had sailed from Rio for the River Plate and China. The Antelope steamer, from Liverpool, arrived at Bahia on the 12th of October, and pfoceeded on the lath for Rio Janeiro. The Craven packet, from Falmouth, arrived at Bahia on the 15th of October, and her Majesty's steamer De vastation had sailed from that place for Ascension. The hired barque Palestine, from New Zealand, having on board Sir George Gipps and lady, as also Lieutenant Wharton, and part of the crew of her Majesty's late brig Osprey, touched at Bahia on the 15th of October ; and the hired barque Posthumous, having on board Com mander Patten and the remainder of the crew of the Osprey, arrived at Rio on the 30th of September. The Penguin has made a quick passage home, but ex perienced very bad weather the last three days.—Times. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Nov. 19.—0 n the 17th, the English steamer the Duke of Cornwall arrived at Ostend, with the Empress Dowager of Brazil, who is travelling under the name of Countess Mondello. Her Majesty, with her daughter the Duchess Braganza, set out on the 18th at seven o'clock by a special train for Aix la Chapelle. BRUSSELS, Nov. 20.—The political discussion on the address was terminated to-day in the Chamber of Deputies. The amendment proposed by Mr. Rogier, which raised the question of confidence, or, more pro perly speaking, of distrust in the Ministry, was rejected by a majority of 52 to 32. Thus the Chamber, by a majority of 10, has decided against the opposition. The Chamber then commenced the discussion on the paragraphs. The examination of the budgets in the Chambers is either terminated or very nearly so in the sections. Several of them have commenced the examination of the project law, relative to the several measures to be taken, in consequence of the dearness of provisions, and on the crisis of our linen manufacture. _ _ —. ....- .. _ In the first section, Mr. Rodenbach proposed, and was supported by several Members, that the credit for one million two hundred thousand francs asked by the Go vernment to assist those communes the resources of which shall beprovedinsufficient, shall be raised to double that sum. _ Complaints have lately been made respecting the high price and scarcity of cast iron in Belgium, and on the high import duties on foreign iron. We will only ob serve, that since the law of the 4th March, 1846, upon the entrepOts, that :inconvenience may easily be reme died, as respects articles destined to be re-exported. Very lately we expressed a hope that merchants of Antwerp might find it possible, by making some efforts to attend to Antwerp the steamers which an American Company is fitting out for speedy organization of a line of steamers to trade with our continent with the inter vention of the Government of the limited states. A letter from Bremen addressed to the Augsburgk Gazelle, announces to-day that this communication will shortly be •organized between New York and Bremen. All other natioas says the correspondent, have attempted in vain to obtain this advantage. France is said to have desired it for Havre, England for Liverpool, Belgium for Antwerp, Holland fur Rotterdam, and Denmark for Gluckstadt. The correpondent continues by enumerating the advantages which this negotiation will procure to Germany, which he seems to consider as already realised. A terrible accident took place yesterday at half-past seven in the evening in the coal mine of Saint Barbe, near Leming. Seven workmen were going down into a shaft about 200 yards in depth, they had descended only a few yards, when the rope broke, and the unfortunate men fell to the bottom. Their death was instantaneous. They were so dreadfully mutilated that it was necessary to call all the workmen together in order to identify the dead bodies. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN.—A great convenience and accom modation has just been provided at the Paddington terminus, by the appropriation of a waiting-room, well warmed and lighted, for second-class passengers; who, until lately, had no place to wait in, until the departure of the trains, than in the open space were the tickets are issued. Similar accommodation has also just been pro vided by the company for passengers travelling by the third-class (Parliamentary penny-a-mile) trains. NEW STATION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES AT CAMBRIDGE.—In consequence of the great increase of traffic on this line, the station at Cambridge is found to be quite inadequate for the purposes for which it is required. The directors have, therefore, resolved to erect a splendid and commodious station, for which pur pose they have purchased upwards of fifty acres of land, which will be added to the site of the present station. INCREASE OF CHARGES FOR LIVE STOCK ON THE NORFOLK AND EASTERN COUNTlES.—Considerable dis satisfaction exists, we understand, amongst the farmers and graziers of the district, at the new regulations issued by these companies, which aro considered vexa tious and oppressive, besides increasing the cattle rates one-fourth in comparison with their former scale. A meeting of the farming and grazing interests is to be held on Saturday next, at Norwich, to remonstrate oa the matter. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OW IRELAND.—The num ber of men employed on this line, week ending the 13th, was 4,140, and 358 horses. If the calculation be correct that 260,0001. are at present paid per week to labourers employed on railways in progress of construction, the sum total (outlay per annum upon railway works alone approaches to some thing like fourteen millions. MOULINS AND ST. ETIENNE.—The project of the route of this line by Roanne is the subject of a cord mission of inquiry in the department of Allier. The construction of this piece of line, which in itself d6es not exceed 62 miles, will afford an unbroken railway communication for Paris and Nantes with Lyons. The municipal council of Dijon have accepted the projet for the station which was proposed to them, and have voted the gratuitous surrender of the land belonging to the town which may be necessary for the station. Some trifling modifications have been proposed, and it is expected that the works will be immediately com menced, in order to afford employment for the workmen of the town. _ _ - EyoXs.—The question as to the spot for the station is not yet decided. The Minister of Public Works, ac. companied by the Under-Secretary of Stale and the Prefect of the Seine, with several engineers, lately visited the ground. THE ROYAL SOCIETY AND M. LEVERRIER.--We hear, with pleasure, that the council of the Royal So ciety have awarded the Copley medal to M. Leverrier, for his investigations relating to the disturbances of Uranus. This prompt action of 's body not famous for the rapidity of its movements in the distribution of ho nours, will do much to remove from the minds of French philosophers the suspicion of English scientific jealousy or unfairness, and. to silence the French t newspaperk ic eu m . writers who so scandalously assumed them.-- the passers of bad should be on their g uard against .

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL THOMAS WHITE.--. We have to record the demise of the above gallant naval officer, at the age of 77 years. The venerable deceased died on Wednesday last, at Buckfast Abbey, near Ash burton, after an illness of some months. The deceased had only recently attained the rank of Rear-Admiral, by the acceptance of the retirement in the navy, which took. place a few weeks back. ic oging to gentleman Mr. h as 117; DIABOLICAL ACl.—Late on Tue s d ay n i g h t, at Wednesday morning last, some p erson or persons ad ministered c oliegpe-ocisroenscetnot.twoApmigesd, belong i ng n nounced it to be either prussic acid or arsenic, and it. is supposed to have been dropped from a wall into the: sty for the purpose of destroying the animals, and the reby causing a serious loss to the owner.—BristolJourna 1 A BARGE Su IN THE RIVER.—Late on Saturday night, a barge laden with coals, that was comiug s ,p the river to Arund e l Wh ar f, was bserved to be finia l g and sinking rapidly as she neared Temple Bar Pier.
