QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) MOTIONS FOR NEW TRIALS. Lord DENMAN intimated that on Monday the Court would give its ju3gaaent in most of the motions for new trials with respect to which the decision of the Court bad been deferred. The Court then proceeded with the Crown men '2HE QUEEN V. THE RELIEVING OFFICERS OF THE PARISH OF CROMWELL. HANTS. This was an appeal by the officers of the above-men tioned parish against an order of two Justices of Surrey, for removing a pauper, named Martha Croucher,and her eight children, from the parish of Elstead to romwell, that parish they considered being chargable with their support. It appeared that slle . was married in Cromwell parish in 1826, and that she and her husband lived there until 1837; when they removed to Elstead, in which parish her husband died. She was exa mined by two justices of the county, who made an order for her removal, but the officers of Cromwell re fused to receive her, on the ground that she was not ex amined in accordance with the provisions of the poor law, which enacts that a copy or copies of the examina tion or examinations of a pauper should be furnished to him or her ; whereas they maintained that the Act was not complied with, as she was examined twice—first, on the 27th of February ; secondly, on the 6th of March, 1845, when the order was made, and that she was only supplied with a copy of the la t examination. The case now came on for argument. Mr. WALLINGER was heard at length against the appeal. He s'ated that, the first examination was in complete, that it bore no date, and that it was not signed by the justices, and that what occurred on the first examination was repeated and completed on the second, and that therefore the words of the Act had been fully complied with. Mr. TAYLOR followed. lie cited cases to show that no violation of the Act had taken place; and held that there was virtually but one examination. No doubt the attorney for the respondents went to the residence of the pauper, and took her statement, merely putting the month "January" 'to it, leaving the day blank, think ing that the case would come before the justices in that month, when the date would be added, but it appeared the case did not come before them until the 27th of February, when the examination was commenced, but left inqomplete until the subsequent examination. Lord DENMAN intimated that the Court would not then hear the other side, as they wished time to consider the subject. By doing so, he anticipated the matter would assume a more simple form, and a correct decision be more easily arrived at. THE PROBATE DUTY.—THE QUEEN V. THE COMMIS. SIGNERS OF STAMPS AND TAXES. A mandamus had been issued by this Court, calling upon the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes to show cause why they should not return 651. to the executors of Lord Wallace, to which they held they are entitled under the following circumstances :—Lord Wallace died in February, 1844. Two probates were subsequenly proved, one in Canterbury for 45,0101., on which 6001. duty was paid, and in York for 8,0001., on which 1401. was paid, making altogether 7401. The real effects, however, of Lord Wallace were afterwards found to be 43,3271.35. 6d. in the province of Canterbury, and 7,567/. 18s. 2d. in York, making an aggregate of 50,9471. ls. 811 ; the debts which were paid amounted to 2,689/. 6s. 101, !calling a balance of 48,257/. 14s. 10d., on which the probate duty was 6751., which was 65L less than the former amount. The Crown had filed a replication, setting forth that the Commissioners were empowered to levy the probate duty in two separate amounts on the property in the two pro vinces, and that the sums so levied made up the actual amount paid, notwithstanding the subsequent reductions. Mr. WATSON, Q.C., appeared in support of the de murrer, and held that the Act of Parliament did not empower the Commissioners to receive probate duty on separate sums, but on the aggregate amount of the pro perty on which probates had been proved, whether in one or more provinces. Sir F. THESIGER appeared for the Crown, and ex plained that although the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes might have taken an objection to the issuing of a mandamus by the Court, they waived this advantage, as they were anxious to obtain the decision of the Court on the point. He then went on at great length to justify the acts of the Commissioners, contending that the aggre gate levying of the probate duty on sums proved in two provinces would involve so much complexity and diffi culty—the arranging of the debts incurred in each pro vince, for instance—that the Commissioners exercised much wisdom in apportioning the amounts to each pro vince, and so levying them. Besides, the Act of Par liament only referred to probates in the singular number, and made no provision for a levy—one probate duty, as the property proved in different provinces. Mr. WATSON replied. His Learned Friend said the proceedings of the Commissioners were exceedingly complicated. Now he (Mr. Watson) c onsidered that this was far from a satisfactory intima tion to the unfortu nate persons who were compelled to pay the probate duty. Their proceedings should be divested of all com plexity. Hence the importance of obtaining the deci sion of the Court on the first point submitted to its con sideration. He reiterated the arguments with which he set out, and held that the Court must decide with the executors of Lord Wallace. Lord DENMAN considered that Mr. Watson had not made out a sufficient case for the interference of the Court ; he had not satisfied the Court that the Commis sioners had acted improperly, or not in accordance with the powers vested in them. They must, therefore, de cide against him. All the Judges agreed in this decision, and each de livered his opinion. The Court rose at two o'clock, in order to meet the Judges of the Common Pleas and Exchequer in the Exchequer Chamber. of the County Court, but he still continued to strike at them, until a policeman arrived, when he was given into custody. - The prisoner, In his defence, denied that the complain ants had ever informed him who they were, and called Mrs. Baker, who swore that they rushed past Hughie in a most violent manner, and pushed him about very roughly in the Hall, without having, either then or sub sequently, described themselves as bailiffs. Mr. GREENWOOD said although a recent Act enlarged the powers of the 9th Geo. IV., and empowered two magistrat, , s to decide summarily in cases of attacks, or attempts at rescue, upon bailiffs of the Small Debts Court, still he thought under all the circumstances of the present case, it would be most advisable to send it to a jury, and he should, therefore, commit the prisoner for trial at the ensuing sessions, but would accept bail for his appearance. ----- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Mitchell commenced his campaign last evening, and much obliged are we to Mr. Mitchell for having commenced his campaign so soon, thus affording to us during the dreary nights of winter, one of the most delight ful and intellectual of amusements. The first piece was La Jeunesse de Henri V., by Alexandre Duval. (The Henry V. being the sth of England.) This piece is the comedy which is known to the English playgoer as Charles IL The one is a literal translation of the other. If we mistake not Mr. Howard Payne in the preface to Charles IL acknowledges that his piece is an adapttaion from the French, but we can hardly suppose that it is a mere translation of this piece of Alexandre Duval's for in this piece Rochester figures as the companion of Henry V. We can scarcely imagine that any French author would have been guilty of such an anachronism; and, therefore, we imagine that Mr. Howard Payne's play must have been a liberal adaptation of some French piece, and that Mr. Duval must have re-translated Payne's play for the French theatre substituting Henry for Charles, inasmuch as, during the reign of Charles X. a play entitled Le Jeunesse du Rai Charles would have scarcely passed the ordeal of the censorship. The character of the piece was the Captain Copp of M. Cartigny, which was quite equal to the Captain Copp of Fawcett, and that was perfect. The King of Rhozevil had not the calibre of Charles 11. of Charles Kemble, but we know of no actor on either the English or the French stage who can at present compete with M. Rhozevil in this character. Lady Clara was well sustained by Mademoiselle Amelie Rhin, who is engaged for the season, and whose debut was most successful, and the part of Copp's Niece was given with the most piquant mixture of simplicity and espieglerie by Mdlle. Celine Va 1163, whose engagement will greatly strengthen the corps drantatique of the theatre. Regnard's comedy of Les Folies Amoureuses followed, in which Mdlle. Brohan, the premiere soubrette, of the Theatre Francais, made her first appearance before an English audience. She is the very beau ideal of soubrettes, pretty, exigcdnte, full of fun, volu bility and life, and yet polished withal. She keeps the audi ence in a constant roar of laughter, and yet" ne'er:o'ersteps the modesty of nature." In the first scene she made a decided hit, and in obedience to the enthusiastic call of the audience, appeared to acknowledge the plaudits which were most deservedly lavished on her. We hope that during the course of her engagement, and that of ' Perlet, who appears next week, Moliere's Tartuffe will be produced. The Tartuffe of Perlet is inimitable;B rohan and f rom what we saw of demo selle last night, we are convinced that her Dorine will be quite equal to l'erlet's Tartuffe. Mademoiselle Edith, a new member of the corps, was the ; 4 ,4h% ; and, as Agatha, she exhibited great versatility. Nothing could exceed her actink7 in the Mus ics scenes. She was alternately. the Fanatic:a per la f o olish old lady and the bullying young officer, to the life. Cartigny's old guardian Albert was a most carets. and artistical piece of acting; and the Crispin of M. Lucien was ex-...essively qaint and frumourous. We could not help feeling a degree of regret that M. Lucicn was not an English actor. He would be the best Cap tain Bobadil that ever trod the boards. Pult concludedtfae petite comedic of Les Rivauxchd'eux elicited shouts of laughter sus tai the part of Lige, and n them was sung be the and applause. The Natio h two pieces.

CHAPX.LiN TO TO E LONDON HOSPITAL.—The Rev. Dir. Wg4 has been appointed Chaplain to this Uospital. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 13. EARL NELSON V. LORD BRIDPORT.-JUDGMENT. .Lord 1.4 AN G DATE ( in continuation from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday) said—lt appeared that the evidence for the defendants showed that Lord W. Nelson in:default of issue, became entitled to the property, which was to be considered neither as a feudum novum or feudum degeneruns, but as a feudum nobile to be held in stricta forma. Earl W. Nelson was, therefore, duly appointed successor, and therefore to claim inves titure. If the male issue of Earl W. Nelson failed, the estate should pass to the plaintiffs. The question then was, whether the estate could be sold. He did not think the trustees could sell the estate, or change the succes sion. He thought Lord William Nelson had become heir under the law of Sicily, and he could only deal with the estate according to that law. No effect could be given to the succession beyond what the law of Sicily permitted, as the testator could not subject his successors to any succession different from what was legal. He was of opinion, therefore, that the trustees could not carry' out the trusts of the will, and that they had done all that was possible for them to do under the circumstances. The subsequent alterations that had taken place in the laws of Sicily could not be considered to renew the execu tor's trusts. In giving the estate to Lady Bridport, he had done nothing which ho was not perfectly entitled to do, for whether Lord William Nel son, when by the power that the alteration of the law of Sicily gave him, did or did not do what was right in not executing the trusts of 4s brother, Horatio Lord Nelson, was not then to be consi dered. He was of opinion that the Bronte estate could not be disposed of in the way the original tes tator had done. These were the grounds of the Master's finding, and he (Lord Langdale) thought they were substantiated. He would, therefore, direct that the ex ceptions should be overruled, but that the costs should be divided by the plaintiff and defendant. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 13. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Wiorte.m.) EX PARTE SAMPSON IN RE BERWICK CORPORATION ACT. The petitioner in this case was a solicitor, and he prayed for the payment of costs, which had been occa sioned in attendances on and journeys to and from London, for the purpose of attending to the progress of an Act which was pending before Parliament. His HoNoun having heard the arguments in the case, dismissed the petition with costs. FINE ARTS. PORTRAIT OF FIELD - MARSHAL HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Engraved by Wagstaff from a Painting by Count D'Orsay. Count D'Orsay has here produced the most truthful and characteristic portrait of the Duke of - Wellington that has ever been published. It is not merely a fac simile of the features of the Duke, but it is a perfect transcript of the expression of ban the features and the figure of the Duke, and all who have seen the Duke even only once •annot fail to be struck with the remarkable and characteristic expression of his figure. The portrait was painted during the course of the present summer. Count D'Orsay bad the advantage of several sittings from his Grace, who has , we understand, expressed himself highly satisfied both with the picture and the engraving. The engraving is one of the finest ever produced. Asa uock of art it is most valuable—as an accurate likeness of " the foremost man of all this world," it is invaluable. RAILWAY RETURNS.

THE QUEEN V. WEBB AND ANOTHER. Mr. M'CAULEY moved to make a rule absolute in order that the defendants in this case who were now lying in Warwick gaol, should be brought up and ad mitted to bail. The motion was made upon the affida vits of the prisoners, who were charged with man slaughter. The depositions stated that Webb was a railway contractor, and the other defendant Kemp was an ostler. On the evening on which the occurrence took place, Webb hired £. gig, and Kemp drove it to wards Banbury. When they arrived within four or five miles of Banbury, the horse shied at something in the road, and on inspection they saw a gig overturned, and a man lying near it. They did not drive up against it, for they had considerable difficulty in getting the horse near it. They drove on and gave an alarm at the nearest place, which was about half a mile distant. They informed the police on reaching Banbury. Mr. Justice PATTESON—It here appears from the evidence, that the prisoners said at once to the police that they saw a gig overturned and a man and horse lying dead in the road. They appeared to be dead, as they never stirred. Ido not see from the evidence how these persons are in any way implicated. Let them find bail in four sureties of 201., and themselves in 801. 989 17,580 38,180 829 7,774 6,433 6,53 515 18,036 2,212 532 1,457 1,126 5,663 17,521 1,281 36,436 799 6,216 6,126 931 8,091 393 16,716 1,661 635 1,841 7,758 761 1,192 834 5,762 5,948 453 1,185 6,419 5,707 446 1,142 5,357 1,093 642 4,768 4,907 The French Plays were last evening attended by the following distinguished persons .

ALLEGED MURDER IN ROSEMARY-LANE.—Yes terday Mr. Baker commenced an inquiry at the London Hospital, on the body of Joseph Gale, aged 28 years, a labourer. Ann Cook said she was a married woman, but separated from her husband, and had cohabited with the deceased for the last three months. On Thursday night week the deceased and witness went into the Crown and Seven Stars, in Rosemary-lane, "W hitechapel, when some words and blows ensued between the deceased and the potman, a young man named John Duggin, now in custody. Duggin kicked the deceased in the lower part of his body. The following day he seas seen by Mr. Liddle, the parish surgeon, who recommended his re moval to the hospital, where he died on Sunday last.

His HONOUR proceeded to give judgment on the appli cation for certificates to these bankrupts, who had car ried on business in Bond-street as book auctioneers. The facts of this cage have been repeatedly before the public. They were again detailed by the Learned r con Com - missioner in giving his judgment, and his Honou eluded by saying that to meet the justice of the case he must suspend the certificate for three years. An application was made for protection. Mr. DUNCAN, on behalf of his client, supported the application, but it was postponed for the consent of the assignees. ----- GUILD HALL.--(THIS DAY.) The woman who, under the name of Jane Harvey, was yesterday charged before Mr. Alderman arn combe with an attempted fraud upon Lor d A. llarvey, M.P., was again placed at the bar this morning, when his Lordship attended, and produced a letter !filch he had just received from the clerk to the Commissioners of Police at Brighton, to the effect that the prisoner was not known at the address Iwhich she gave at No. 4, Edward-place, in that town, and that there was nodoubt she was an impostor. She had nothing to say in her defence beyond that she belonged to Stratford, that her husband had de serted her, leaving her with two children, and that destitution led her to attenspt the imposition. She was sentenced to seven days' imprisoment. MARLBRO'-STREET.--(THIS DAY) William Blake, solicitor, Temple, was charged with an assault last night on John Percival Johnson, in King William-street, Strand, and afterwards in the Hay market. The complainant said he was walking up Fleet-street westward, and was surprised by the defendant coming up and saying that he had knocked off his hat. The de fendant demanded his address, which was refused him, and he followed him on to the Edinburgh Castle, where he made a disturbance and wished to give complainant into custody, but several policemen refused to take the charge. Complainant and his friends proceeded along the Strand, the defendant still following them, and in Ki n °. William. street, another policeman h av i ng re f use d to take the charge, the defendant went in before com plainant and gave him two or three slight slaps in the chest with the back of his hand, saying " a solicitor in the Temple and know what I'm about; now I have committed a breacu of the peace." The whole party moved on into the Haymarket, and the defendant re peated the same thing there, and was taken into custody. Police-constable, F 28, who took defendant into cus tody, deposed as to his insulting manner towards com plainant,. Mr. LONG (to Mr. Johnson) --Do you deny having knocked off defendant's hat ? Mr. Johnson—On my oath I deny it. The defendant aemitted the assault. He said he had committed it to ascertain the complainant's address. Mr. Lona fined the defendant forty shillings. The defendant paid the money, and left the Court with the address of the complainant. CLERKENIVELL.-(THIS DAY.) George Hughie was charged with assaulting Isaac Wheeldon, an officer of the County Court, and Joseph Brocker, his assistant, while in the execution of a pro cess from that court, against Henry Baker. From the evidence of the officer and his assistant, it appeared that the prisoner and Baker resided together at No. 7, Phillips's-buildings, Somers-town, where they carried on business as pipe manufacturers.

THOMAS.—IMPORTANCE OF A FARTHING. The defendant in this case agreed to receive 2,1001. per annum in lieu of the tithes leviable on a cer tain parish, and by Acts of Parliament he was empowered to distrain upon the property of defaulters. The plaintiff owed 38/. 16s. 94d. in this way, which was made up of numerous small sums, each of which included a fraction. Two of these sums, the first 31. 19s. 94d., and the sec )nd 3/. 19s. 10d., were incorrect, inasmuch as one was a id. too little, and one id. too much, or an overcharge of a single farthing. All the sums together, however, made up the proper amount. Nevertheless, the plaintiff refused to pay the demand, and a distress was put in for the amount. He subsequently brought an action to re cover compensation for an illegal demand and trespass, but the jury found for the defendant. A rule was after wards obtained, calling upon the defendant to show cause why the verdict should not be set aide and a new trial had. It appeared, however, that the plaintiff had stated in a letter to the defendant that the only differ ence between them was the amount of the income-tax on the amount levied. The case now came on for argument. Mr. Sergeant JONES and Mr. PEACOCK showed cause against the rule on theground that the aggregate amount was correct, that the distress was properly made, and on the admission of the plaintiff with respect to the income tax. Mr. CHILTON, Q.C., and Mr. CJWLING followed in support of it. They held that the distress was only levied with respect to the two sums mentioned, in which there was an overcharge, and therefore the demand, though apparently insignificant, was an overcharge, and, in distraining for such an amount, Mr. Thomas exceeded the powers vested in him by the Act, and that the verdict must therefore be set aside. The COURT did not think it right to disturb the deci sion of the jury, inasmuch as it appeared that the parties understood that the aggregate amount claimed was cor rect, although there might be a fractional mistake in some of the items. The Judges all agreed in the decision. The Court then rose. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov 13. BARRY AND ANOTHER V. NESFIAM AND ANOTHER. The plaintiffs in this case were paper-makers, and the defendants were alleged to be the proprietors of the Newcastle Advertiser. The action was brought to re cover for paper supplied to the defendants. Louden, one of the defendants, had suffered judgment to go by de fault. Nesham had originally been proprietor of the paper, but had, as he alleged, sold it to other parties, suffering part of the purchase money to remain on mortgage. The plaintiffs, on the other hand, contended that he was a partner. The question entirely turned on the construction to be put on the wording of the agreement between the parties at the time Nesham ceased to be sole proprietor of the paper. The case came on for argument in demurrer. Mr. Sergeant Channel having been heard for plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for defendant, The COURT gave judgment. The only real question they had to consider was, whether the defendants, at the time the goods were supplied, were joint partners in the newspaper in question. The settlement of this point turned entirely on the construction of the agree ment, and looking to its purpose, intention, and the object to be realised, it appeared clear ts, th. u, iliac is was o part nership extending over a period of seven years, unless otherwise dissolved under the conditions named in the document. Any one who stipulated for a portion of the profits of a" concern must be considered liable to any loss arising from the transactions necessary for the carry ing on of the undertaking. A contract stipulating for a portion of the profits clearly created a liability for any loss. Judgment must, therefore, be given for the plaintiffs. GIBBS V. FLIGHT AND OTHERS.—THE PARISH OF WALBROOS. Mr. Sergeant MasonßD, on behalf of the defendants in this case, was desirous of knowing whether judgment. would be given on an early day. Considering the painful position in which the parish of Walbrook was placed, he trusted as little delay as possible would take place. Lord Chief Justice WlLDE—Judgment I expect will be given in the conse of the present term. PARRAT V. BERN ELEY.--THE BIRDII NCH ADI AND BUCKINGHAM SHIRE RAILWAY. This was an action brought by Mr. Parrett, the ad vertising agent, to recover from the Hon. F. H. Berke ley, M.P., the sum of 2001., for advertising the prospec tus of the Birmingham and Buckinghamshire Railway, of which it was alleged defendant was a provisional director. The plaintiff, not being in a position to prove that the prospectus in which the name of the defendant appeared had been issued by the officers of the company, was nonsuited. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of November 13.) SUGAR.--To-day the better qualities of yellow and grey West India Sugar were much sought after, and the rates offered fully equal to those previously current, but there was only a small quantity on show, whilst inferior and brown kinds met with a dull demand, although offered at a reduc. lion on last Friday's rates of 6d to Is per cwt. REFINEP.—To-day there was little business transacted by the home trade in refined goods, notwithstanding brown lumps could be obtained at 62s to 63s 6d, and standard lumps at 64s 6d per cwt.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with at tention, and 3,094 bags at public sale were sold at 6d to is per cwt advance for white Benares, and the rise on superior grainy yellow was 6d, whilst all other kinds fully sustained the former value. FOREIGN.—AII kinds of Sugar available for home consump tion are held with firmness, none has been offered at auction this week,. and the deliveries are still exceeding the arrivals. , There has been little inquiry after brown Brazil, but prices remain at 40s to 445, whilst other qualities have been dis posed of to a fair extent at firm rates. Comm.—This afternoon there was a stronger desire ma nifested to operate in Native Ceyh n, and 2,2 Ji nags at auc tion were chiefly sold at previous rates, b it not above. SPlRlTEl.—lmporters of Jamair a uum, are not inclined to submit to any reduction in the value, but all sorts have been sparingly d e alt in.

Leeward Island has been in excellent request, and the sup ply being small, buyers are compelled to pay stiff rates. East India is wanted, but the trade are not disposed to pay any further advance, small as the supply is. There has been less demand for Brandy this week and lower prices have been taken for the older sorts, there being an increased quantity on offer; but young kinds are held for the former value.

TEA.--There has been an increased desire manifested by the town and country trade to get supplied, and speculators are turning their attention to both black and green Tea; the t en dency of prices is upwards, and there is a less quantity offering for sale. That the market should have assumed a more healthy appearance is not to be wondered at, denudeswhu it is taken into consideration that all kinds are cheap, n the cost of importation.

THE RIVER. PLATE. FALMOUTH, Nov. 12,—Her Majesty's steam-frigate Gorgon, Commander Crouch, put into port this morn ing about eleven o'clock, under canvas, fuel being ex.. hausted, and after three days' hard thrashing in the Channel with the prevailing easterly and north-easterly winds. The Gorgon left Monte Video on the 13th of Sep- . tember ; Rio Janeiro, 22d ; and Bahia, 30th following, being bound to Spithead with Mr. Hood, the late Com missioner deputed to settle the differences between the Buenos Ayrean and Monte Videan republics, and who, accompanied by his son and secretary (Lieutenantsood , R.N.), has landed here, and will proceed for London this evening. By this arrival we are sorry to learn that all the at tempts strenuously and faithfully exerted by Mr. Hoot to mediate between the belligerent parties have totally failed, even at the moment of completion, Rosas having' at last refused to come to terms unless the blockade was first raised, which could not be complied with whilst his army remained in the province of the Oriental Ra. public. It is supposed Mr. Hood has hastened home for far ther instructions, and after conferring with the Govern ment, will again embark on his mission, and endeavour to establish a peace. The officers of the Gorgon represent that matters were in a very unsatisfactory state in the river on their departure, and were likely to continue so until hostilities were put an end to by negotiation or otherwise. The Gorgon left her Majesty's steamer Devastation with the Commodore's pendant of Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.8., at Bahia, on his voyage from Rio de is Plata to Ascension, where lie would assume the command of the north-western coast of Africa. FUTHER PARTICULARS. FALMOUTH, THURSDAY EVENING, Nov. 12.—Since writing the preceding particulurs per Gorgon, we have possessed ourselves of the following more explicit ac count of Mr. Hood's mission : Mr. Hood's mission has failed, the chief cause being the disinclination the French Minister in the River Plate had to acknowledge the authority of Mr. Hood. The point on which the misunderstanding between: Mr. Hood and Baron Deffaudis has arisen is, " Whether Mr. Hood's instructions were definite as to raising the blockade of Buenos Ayres, previous to Rosas withdraw ing the Argentine troops from the Banda Oriental." The result has been, that the truce which had existed. for a short time between the besiegers and the be sieged in Monte Video terminated on the day of Mr.. flood's departure. . The blockade of Buenos Ayres is still enforced, al though a considerable contraband trade is nevertheless carried on between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres it self. The River Parana is still nominally kept open, the Comus being anchored at Obligado to prevent the erection of batteries. When the Gorgon left Monte Video, the following was the disposition of the English squadron : At Monte Video.—The Vernon (flag) ' • the Eagle, MelamPus, Alecto (steam-vessel), and Griffo n. At Buenos Ayres.—The Firebrand steam-vessel, and the Spider. At Colonia.—The Satellite. At Biscayna.—The Acorn and the Lizard steamer. At Obligado.—The Comus and the Harpy steam - vessels. At Moldonado.—The Racer and the Dolphin. At Rio Janeiro.—The Caracoa am' the Penguin packet. The Grecian was on her passage to Monte Video from Rio. SPANISH DEBT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As many of your readers are doubtless inte rested in the settlement of the Spanish Debt, I venture to request the favour of your inserting the following observations relative thereto in the columns of your paper. The credit of the Spanish Government having so far improved as to have enabled it to obtain a loan recently of 2,000,000/. from native capitalists, at 5 per cent., it might be supposed that the marketable value of its Three per Cent. Stock, on which interest is regularly paid, would be 60. Its reaching this value is, however, effec tually prevented by the depressing influence of the large amount of unliquidated stocks at present in circulation, as long as any portion of which remains nnprovided for, Spanish credit can never be effectually restored. But if a general compromise with the whole of the creditors, on terms not overburdensome to Spain, could be effected, then both parties would be immediately benefited, and Spanish Stock would, in a short time, command a price not contemplated, perhaps, by either at present. To effect so desirable an object, I would suggest that the Spanish Government be invited to incorporate, within a limited period, the whole of the present dormant stocks, whether representing the capital of the original loans, or the arrears of interest• thereon, into a new 'stock, bearing 1 per cent. interest. Such an offer would probably be acceptable to the Government, and would stimulate it to make the requisite exertions for carrying it into effect. It is at least certain that any scheme for the supposed benefit of one particular class of the cre ditors only, irrespective of the interests of the other parties concerned, would, at the present day, be not only impracticable but absurd.--I am, A Sir, PCINELNITIIT your obedient ser .TIVI2 v-aaaa... Nov. 13,1846. IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY: Yesterday the forty-first half-yearly meeting of the Imperial Brazilian Mining Company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. Joshua Walker, Esq., presided, and called upon the secretary to read the report prepared by the directors, which he regretted was rather unfavourable in its cha racter. This document stated that the negotiations alluded to in their last report, for the acquisition of more mining property in Brazil, though favourably progressing at the time of the last advices from the chief • commissioner, had not yet been concluded. No impediment, hoWever, then appeared to an early termination of the treaty, and the directors hoped it would be their duty before long to call the shareholders together, and announce that the property in question was in the possession of the company, and that a portion of the force of the Gongo Foco district was employed on that new mine, which held out the prospect of a speedy return, and of making amends for the long delayed hopes which the proprietary had to bear. In the event of the chief commissioner being unable to bring the present negotiation to a favourable conclusion, he had received instructions to direct his im mediate attention to another project. Under these cir cumstances, the directors hoped the shareholders would still continue their confidence, and leave these negotia tions in their hands without more explicit declarations on the present occasion. The quantity of gold pro duced during the six months ending June, 1846, amounted to 1831 b. 7oz. 15dwts., being an increase of 881 b. 2oz. 15dwts. over the produce of the six months ending June, 1845, but still insufficient to prevent loss to the company; for while the produce of the half-year terminating in June last realised about 7,3171., the ex penditure during the same period amounted to 10,3771. 4s. 9d., leaving a deficit of upwards of 3,0591. The directors were aware that the establishment was too large sad excessive, when compared with the produce of the minep and they were determined on reducing it at every faVourable opportunity. To supply the deficiency on the half-year, 53 rnilrees had been sold, and they produced 7,0391. The report was adopted, and the meeting separated. COURT CIRCULAR.
