ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) 'WOOD V. TAUNTON. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendant from using a patent invention for the manu facture of windlasses, &c. It appeared that the defendant had constructed a certain description of machinery for the above purpose, for which a patent had been obtained. Some time back plaintiff purchased a moiety of the invention, and both plaintiff and defendant entered into partnership on their common property. However they had now fallen out, and they were desirous of dissolving that partnership, the invention in the meantime not being worked to the satisfaction of either party. Mr. Turner and Mr. Prin appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Kindersley and Daniell for the defendants. After some discussion, His LORDSHIP ordered the matter to stand over, with a view to an arrangement between the parties. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. Immediately after the Judges had taken their seats this morning, Earl Spencer, Sir Georke Grey, and the Right Hon. Thomas Babbington Macauley entered the Court, by the Judges' em,rance, and took the oath of allegiance to her Majesty, and the oath declaring that they would not use the influence of their offices to " injure the rightr and privileges" of the Church of England, as by law established. They then withdrew. MARSHALL V. POWELL AND POWELL. This was an action to recover the amount of a pro missory note for 411. Os. Bd., drawn by the defendants, and delivered to the plaintiff under the following cir cumstances:— The defendants became the tenants of a farm in April last. A valuation was made, and the amount to be paid at the incoming was set down at 94/., 531. of which was paid at once, and a promissory note given for the re mainder, on the understanding that there should be a revision of the - valuation on the subsequent Ist of August, and that the parties should then give or receive, according to the value of the crops at that period. The revision was ,not made until the 2d of August, and was not completed until the 20th, when the former valuation was confirmed. A dispute_thus arose between the par- ties, who proceeded to . trial. The agreement was pro duced, and was found to be unstamped ; and coupling this with the fact that the revision was not made on the Ist of August, the plaintiff was non-suited. A rule was subsequently obtained, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the non-suit should not be set aside, and a new trial had. The case now came on for argument. Mr. BAINES (with whom was Mr. Bliss) was heard at great length in opposition to the rule. He contended that the agreement ought to have been stamped, in ac cordance with the provisions of the Stamp Act, and cited a number of cases in support of this view. He was engaged in a case, which was heard in the Ex chequer a short time ago, in which he had at the trial sought to give in evidence an un stamped document, signed by the defendant in the cause, setting forth that be had bought 50 railway shares, for which he would pay on a- certain day. He held that the instrument was one which did not require a stamp, but the Court differed with him, and refused his application for a new trial. In this case it was evident that the document, out of which the dispute arose, was one which required a stamp, in order to make it a valid document. Besides, its provisions had not been complied with, and the defendants could not be held to be bound by such an instrument. Mr. WATSON followed in support of the rule. He held that the document did not require a stamp, inas much as it was a mere statement in acknowledgment of an understanding between the parties, and could not be looked upon in the light of a contract. The real ques tion at issue was, whether the revision of the crops was to be on their condition at the Ist of August, or at the time it was actually made. He held that the revision was to be made on the condition of the crops on the Ist, although the valuation might not have been made until a short time after, but when it was made it related to the condition of the crops on the Ist. The COURT considered that the parties were bound by the agreement to have a re-valuation made on. the Ist of August, and to abide by the result; and that the docu ment, from its peculiar nature, was admissible at the trial. The rule was therefore refused on the first point, but granted on the second, so that a new trial will take place. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. MOTTRAM. Mr. HAwKnis applied to have the defendant in this case, who was now lying in Derby gaol, on a charge of manslaughter, admitted to bail in the country. The charge was for having caused the death of a person by administering improper drugs. He was a poor man, and an itinerant vendor of medicine. Mr. Justice PATTESON, after reading the affidavits, granted the application—the prisoner to find bail, him self in the sum of 2001., and four sureties in the sum of 501. each. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN RE THOMAS DAY. To-day was appointed for a dividend meeting, under the estate of this insolvent, who was secretary to the Southwark Commercial Savings' Bank, and clerk to the Commissioners of Sewers. His debts amounted to about 5,7001. In the course of the meeting a point of considerable interest arose, on a claim being put in to prove for the sum of 3001., for money advanced on an annuity granted to a gentleman named Tapon. The question was whe ther the proof could be admitted for its present value, or its value at the time the money was advanced. Se veral cases were quoted, in one of which 8,000/. had been paid, but the party, whose life was assured, was so improved at the time of the bankruptcy that it was. estimated at 10,0001., and it was held that the proof should be admitted for the full amount. The Learned CommissioNEß, after hearing a long argument, held that the Act 6, Geo. IV., prevented that, and that he was bound to take into consideration the value at the time of proof, having reference to the money paid. He should, therefore, admit the proof, not for the full amount, but take the Government scale of its value at the present age of the bankrupt. It was granted when the bankrupt was fifty, when an annuity, is held worth 11i years' purchase ; he was now sixty four, and it was worth eight years' purchase. The proof was then admitted for 2141. ' This will be a second dividend, hnd will be declared lin a few days. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) • Henry Kelly, a young man employed by Messrs. Piek ford, the extensive railway carriers, was brought before Mr. Greenwood charged as follows :—lt appeared that the prisoner, about nine o'clock last night, was driving one of the Camden-town station waggons with three horses at a rapid pace along the New-road on the wrong side of the way, when he came in contact with a cab, which he completely turned over, and smashed the two shafts, the springs, and a part of the body, and so vio lent was the shock that the horse was also knocked down and very severely injured. The driver was pitched out over the horse's head and had a most miraculous escape from being killed. When the prisoner saw what he had done, he whipped his horses as hard as he could, and set them a galloping at top speed ; but a large body of the G division of police, who were marching out of the station-house on night duty, having witnessed the occurrence, stopped him, but not without some difficulty and danger. For the defence, a fellow-servant of the prisoner, named Whittlemore, was called, who swore that the prisoner was driving at a very moderate pace, and that he neither whipped the horses, nor, in fact, had any whip with him. Mr. GREENWOOD said he did not believe one word the last witness had stated. He should fine the prisoner 40s. for furious driving, and, in default of payment, one months' imprisonment ; and he should also order him to pay 21., on account of the damage done to the cab. Two notorious females, named Perrin, who are the terror of the publicans in the neighbourhood, were sen tenced to twenty-one days' imprisonment for violently assaulting Mr. Goodwin, a licensed victualler in Bald win's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane, and smashing a number of panes of glass in his shop.

B. Eighty Jews, headed by their Rabbi, arrived recently at Warsaw, to request the governor to allow them to retain their costume. They were taken to the police, where their beards were shaved off and their long hair cut, and then sent away. They demanded their beards and hair, to place them in their burying-ground, but this was refused them; they, however, received the barber's bill, which they were made to pay. TROTTING MATCH FOR 401.--Yesterday the trot ting match of two miles between Mr. Baker's horse, of Westminster, and Mr. Reynoldson's mare, of Edmonton, was decided in the Seven Sister's Road, Tottenham. The mare won easily, and accomplished the two miles under seven minutes. ----- THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER. AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—On Tuesday last an inquest was held at the Bridge Inn, Kendal, before Richard Wilson, Esq., on the body of Thomas Gaweth, one of the unfor tunate sufferers in the late accident on the above line, when a verdict of Accidental death was returned. Yesterday a very fine woodcock was shot by Mr. ling, of Walworth, in a field near lionnington, LITERATURE. JOHN OF ENGLAND. 3 vols. By Henry Curling. Until within the last half century, the advantages derivable from the combination of history and fiction were to a very considerable extent unrecognised. We might almost say that until the , commencement of that period they were unrealised. During a con siderable interval, indeed, novels were literally scouted by a large proportion of the community. From an idle and contemptible affectation of wisdom, many individuals were formerly disposed to treat those productions as detestable or frivolous, or even both sometimes. A remarkable alteration in this particular is now-a-days perceptible. The novelist is admitted to the position to which he is entitled in literature, and that position is by no means contemptible or uninfluential. He is treated with the distinction. which his profession deserves. Influencing society more than almost any Other class of authors; inculcating generous sentiments and enobling principles_ under the most alluring guise; depicting the superficial, and disclosing the hidden characteristics of society with a faithful pencil; and elevating the aspirations by acting upon the sus ceptibilities of his readers, he has a peculiar claim upon our attention and consideration, 'and that claim he has forced us (meaning society) to acknowledge. We are of course alluding to the most eminent class of novelists. Although many distin guished writers had conduced by their compositions to this extraordinary change in popular opinion, it was reserved for Sir Walter Scott to demonstrate in a remarkable manner the solid benefits Which might acrue from the sagacious intermixture of fictitious in cident and actual occurrences. By a succession of inimitable works that Prince of Novelists rendered the real dignity and merits of historical romance ap parent. He showed that by that beautiful species of composition a more vivid idea of past ages and of lay gone events was conveyed to the perception of the million than by more sober and more voluminous records. He showed that a clearer conception of the characters of the departed illustrious might be formed from those agreeable delineations than from the por traitures of more didactic scribes. He showedivith a singular felicity the mode in which instruc tion might be inextricably mingled with amuse ment, and how' in the pages of the historical ro mancist the spirit of departed generations might be revived, for the improvement as well as for the re creation of the living multitude. " Kenilworth" re stored us to the days of Leicester and Elizabeth ; the " Fortunes of Nigel" to those of James I. and jingling Geordie ; " Anne of Gierstein" to the mys terious proceedings of the Veremgericht ; the "Talis man" to the deeds of Coeur de Lion in Palestine ; " Waverley" to the tribulations of the young Pre tender and his upholders; " Quentin Durward" to the reign of Louis XI. ; " Ivanhoe," again, to the first Richard; and so on through the whole cata-- logue of those splendid productions. Eminently sue- - cessful, however, as the great Scotchman was in this style of narrative, he has, in that very eminence of success, shown the difficulty of making any such achievement ; he has proved to all his successors, that if one of the most arduous undertakings in literature is the composition of a good tragedy, one of the next degree of difficulty is the penning of a good historical romance. The author of the present work has been evidently fully aware of the many perils be would have to encounter, of the Many pitfalls he would have to overleap, of the many obstacles he would have to annihilate, before he could hope for its fortunate completion. The very excellence of the entire story is a testimony that the narrator was conscious of the existence of the obstructions he has vanquished so well. Mr. Curling is already known by his novel entitled" The Soldier of Fortune." The three vo lumes lying under consideration assure us that he may acquire a familiar and distinguished name amongst our novelists, if he only persevere in the course upon which he has adventured. " John of England" is a picturesque and beautiful revival of one amongst the most striking and eventful periods of our national history. As the title indicates, the plot is . situated partially in England, partially in France, during the reign of the meanest and vilest of our Kings John, the brother of Richard Coeur de Lion, and Geoffrey Plantagenet. Mr. Curling has admirably discriminated the disposition of this cowardly and treacherous monarch; but, aware of the disagreeable impressions which are alone con veyed by a contemplation of his actions, he has ren dered the incidents connected with King John subor dinate to those of the fictitious characters introduced. And in this we conceive consists the principal success of the romance. The story associated with the heroine, Bertha Daundelyonne, is most felicitously conceived. From the interest excited in her fortunes, from the anxiety aroused by the perils of her capture and imprisonment, and from the yet greater anxiety experienced in her behalf during her withdrawal from the power of her profligate . captors, we shall not de tract by giving a cold epitome. There is almost as much art visible in the construction of the plot as there is nature in its development. In the beautiful and curiously accomplished Bertha, and in her companions in the romance, the I L hopes and wishes of the reader are aroused and sus ' tamed throughout. The author has thoroughly en tered into the singular character of the age of which King John was what Byron calls " the Thunderer of century ph oasndtion hasoo ts f k m teht i ec s h r n u ead l t e iloh a ne n as d maa intuitive s. s a a g An a di c d i de t i y ds p h bo i; the scene." His imagination has reverted to that with i a t n n t h e r e as n n the monkish bookmen of that period, he has pour trayed the people with a peculiar and charming vividness ; from the palace to the dungeon, from the cottage to the battlement. We observe that Mr. Curling has introduced, as an episode to the principle tale, the sufferings and mysterious assassination of Prince Arthur Plantagenet. If our memory serves us faithfully, this mournful catastrophe has already been introduced to modern novel readers in Mr. G. P. R. James's ".Philip Augustus." It is, however, treated with so much of artistic skill in " John of England," that we are persuaded the majority will be grateful for the revival. In his description of the murder committed upon the unfortunate prince, we observe that Mr. Curling attributes it personally to the base monarch himself. Whether he is justified in so doing we think is extremely questionable. The simple circumstances are, that Prince Arthur was murdered in a dungeon of the Castle of Rouen, April 3, 1202. It does not appear who was his actual de stroyer, and the imputations upon John are attribut able rather to the inuendoes than to the positive assertions of the different historians. One writes that the Prince suddenly disappeared, but in what manner nobody could conjecture, " Subito evanuit, modo fere omnibus ignorato ;" another says, "feria quintet ante Pascha propriamanu interfecit ;' while a third is • .more explicit in his insinuations, " Rex suspectus," he writes, " habebatur ab omnibus, quasi ilium mane propria occidisset!" William Brito, indeed, confidently maintains (Phi lipid. VI. 167.) that John stabbed his nephew twice with a dagger, in a boat, and subsequently threw his corpse into the river. But how does he attempt to substantiate this bold assertion ? He merely states it. We cannot but coincide with modern historians in thinking that this assassination by John's own hand is highly improbable, seeing that so many vil lains were in the world who would have snatched at so facile a means of obtaining emolument. Mr. Curling, however, with the allowable license of the romancist, has given implicit credence; to ,Brito.. A more interesting fictio n has no t been issued from the press for a long period tha n " John of England. It reminds one of the oriental metaphor of the reflection of a rainbow upon plates of gold. ,-------:-- We hear that a movement is about being made to form an asylum in Wales for the education and main tenance of the deaf and dumb children of the poor. Several gentlemen in London have promised to come forward and subscribe liberally in aid of the above ob ject; and it is hoped that the respectable portion of the community in the Principality will take an interest in so laudable an object. There have been found in more than one instance in south Wales five deaf and dumb children in the same family, and, being destitute of in struction, they are consequently bordering on idiotism. — Welshman. .

SUSPECTED MURDER TAT SUTTON.—The inquiry into the case of George Taylor, whose body was dis interred after being in the grave two years, to ascertain the presence of arsenic, which it was suspected had been administered by Elizabeth Smith, his housekeeper, was resumed on Tuesday last. Further. .evidence having been given to show that the accused parties in recrimi nating each other had implicated themselves, the coroner referred to a report which had been received from Pro fessor Taylor, who stated 'that he had completed the analysis of the remains transmitted to him, and had been unable to detect the presence of any metallic poison. Mr. Pettinger, the surgeon, gave it as his decided opi nion, after hearing the evidence, and from the symptoms he saw in Taylor, that he had died from the effects of arsenic. Dr. Hugh Morten, of Newark, coincided in that opinion. After the coroner had summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Elizabeth Smith and Sarah Taylor. DARING BURGLARY.—Yesterday information was forwarded to the police that the premises of Mr. Tylery, No. 70, Long-lane, Barbican, had been entered on Friday 1 morning, and the entire stock of watches and j ewe ll ery carried off, as well as ninety gold and silver watches, valued at 2001., that had been left for repair.

The disposal of the plate, some of which belonged to Francis Gwyn, Secretary-at-War to Queen Anne, occupiekalmost the whole of the first day; one lot, consisting of a set of three tea canisters, with beautiful figures and architectural and other devices, in high relief, realised 225. an ounce; another, being a richly-embossed and festooned tea kettle, stand, and lamp, fetched about 361.; a silver gilt communion chalice and patina, belonging to Edward Prideaux, Attorney-General to Oliver Cromwell, and used in the chapel, 151. 15s. The second day was en tirely devoted to the sale of the paintings, some of which were very old and curious.

We have it on the best authority that, for this picture the late proprietor once refused 1,000/., but, fortunately for the present possessor, this fact was not generally known until after the auction, although she was herself cogni sant of it many years since : had it got wind amongst the various connoisseurs who competed for the painting, a much larger sum would have been obtained, if we may judge from the subsequent fidgetty and anxious manner of those who wanted it on finding it had got out of their reach. On the third day the five pieces of magnificent Arras tapestry, after the celebrated Cartoons of Raphael, presented by Queen Anne to Francis Gwyn, her Secree Lary-at-War, who hung it in the grand saloon, and for which his patriotic son refused 30,000/., offered by Count Orloff on behalf of the Empress Catherine of Russia, were knocked down for the new proprietor of the abbey at 2,200/. The subjects are—" Our Saviour appearing to his disciples after his resurrection, and delivering his charge to Peter"—" The miraculous draught of Fishes" —" St. Peter and St. John curing the Lame Man at the beautiful gate of the Temple"—" The Men of Lystra sa crificing to Paul and Barnabas, as Jupiter and Mercury," and "Ananias and Sapphira."

The Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early walk yesterday, in the pleasure grounds of 03borne ouse. The unfavourable state of the weather during the forenoon prevented the Royal Family from taking their accustomed airings yesterday on the sea beach. There was no addition to the Royal dinner circle at Osborne House, on Thursday evening. Her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline of Hem., attended by Baroness Scheel, Baron Moysenbuch, and Mr. Bedford, arrived at the Euston-square terminus of the London and North-Western Railway Company yes terday morning, from Cashiobusy Park, Herts, the resi dence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. The Earl of Denbigh received the Princess on her arrival in town, and attended her Royal Highness to the Model Prison at Pentonville, which the Princess in• spected. At five o'clock in the afternoon her Royal Highness and suite left the Euston-square terminus for Watford, on her return to Cashiobury Park. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz returned to Kew on Thursday evening, from paying a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline of Hesse, at Cashiobury Park, Herts. A deputation, respecting the Health of Towns, headed by Lord Ashley, had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Home-office. The Rev. W. Elliott had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. Bagshaw had an interview with the Right Hon ourable the Vice President of the Board of Trade, on Thursday, in Whitehall. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Excise, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Thurs day, at his official residence, in Downing-street. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. The Royal Mail packet Tweed, G. Parsons, R.N., Commander, arrived at Southampton yester day, at four P.X., bringing the usual mails, a small number of dollars on merchants' accounts, 24 tierces and 8 barrels of cof fee, some ginger, 13 cases and 122 kegs succades, 87 bales of tobacco, 4 cases of cigars, and 32 passengers. Her dates are—Demerara, October 20 ; Trinidad, 21 ; Grenada, 26 ; St. Thomas's, 30 ; Jamaica, 24. Mr. Robert Rawle, a passenger, from Trinidad, died at sea on the 16th of November. The Tweed expe rienced fine weather home, but during the last two days fell in with the bad weather we have had on the coast. The only vessel she spoke was the Bellhaven barque. On her departure from the various islands much rain had fallen, and the weather was highly favourable for the crops. Cuba had not suffered so severely from the gale, which was so terrific at Havannah, as had been feared. By the Tweed's arrival we have scarcely any news. We learn that tip company's ship Cl) de was at Grenada; Forth, at Havannah; Tay, in the Gulf of Mexico; Trent, on the Spanish Main ; Eagle, at St. Thomas's ; and Reindeer, at Demerara. Public meetings continue to be held in respect to the to S b uga e r r D ec u o t n ie c s il , ed. to which the colonists seem little likely The Ripon remains at the mouth of the river, with Indian mails, weather-bound. THE PROPOSED EXPEDITION UNDER GENERAL FLORES. On Thursday evening last Mr. Forsayth, the principal searcher of the Customs, accompanied by other officers, boarded the ship Glenelg, lying off Gravesend, and, after inspection, seized her for a contemplated breach of the Foreign Enlistment and Equipment Act; and yesterday morning he, also, upon the same grounds, seized the Monarch and Neptune steam-vessels, lying in the East India Docks, Blackwall. — lt is understood that all the three vessels form part of an expedition which is being secretly fitted out in this country with the intention, by hostile means, to effect a revolution of Government in a state of South America with which we are on terms of peace and friendship. When the Glenelg was seized there had just been re ceived on board 350 men, under pretence of their being emigrants, but who, it is understood, are intended to serve as soldiers or marines. The Gleneig is a fine ship of 1,200 tons, and was heretofore employed in the East India trade; and the Monarch and Neptune are steamers of a large class, par ticularly the former, until recently they were the pro perty_ of the General Steam Navigation Company. The Monarch was in the Leith trade, and the Neptune plied between London and HamburglL It is said that Mr. Forsayth is in possession of infor mation concerning them that leaves no doubt of all three vessels being ultimately condemned as forfeited to the Crown.

On Friday, Joseph Ady was brought up in custody of police• constable 57 H, and placed before Mr. Ballan tine at the Thames Police-court, on a charge of obtain ing 20s. by a false pretence, from Mr. Henry Bourne, Vice-President of the inland department of the General Post-office. Mr. Bourne stated, that on the 27th ult., he received one of Joseph Ady's circulars, which represented that the writer could inform him of something to his advan tage, value 1001. and upwards, on receipt of 20s. for his costs and trouble. He replied by letter to this commu nication, that he had no objection to pay the fee de manded, provided Ady engaged to return the money if he did not derive the advantages held out, or some ad vantage equivalent to the sum paid. In consequence of that reply, a person waited upon him with a letter, con taining several lithographed papers, lists of next of kin, extracts of Acts of Parliament, and other matters, with various references to Sir Peter Laurie and the Lord Mayor, and said he was deputed by Ady to ask for 205., and when that sum was paid, Mr. Ady would give the required information. Witness declined to pay the money then, but subsequently waited upon Ady at his own house, and was accompanied by his son. He asked Ady for the information, and paid him a sovereign, for which Ady filled up a litho graphic form of receipt, with a view of the Bank of England on the top of it. The receipt, which the witness put in, was read by Mr. Ballantine as follows : " Received of H. Bourne, this 16th day of November, 1840, the sum of 208., as a consideration for my costs and trouble in obtaining the information, ;which fee I engage to return § on its being satisfactorily shown that no benefit results amounting to 1,0001. and upwards."— (Laughter.) After Ady had given the receipt, he asked him for the information. Ady replied, " No, I never give it verbally, friend." He inquired why he objected to do so, to which he replied, that he always sent his infor mation by post, and that he could not tell whether pro secutor was the person he represented himself to be; and if he gave him the information he might obtain pro perty to which he was not entitled. On the following day a letter,.containing an enclosure, was left at his re sidence by a private hand. The enclosure was a litho graphic statement that a certain assurance society was an illegal one, because clerks in orders were connected with it, and advised him to get rid of his interest in it as soon as possible.—(Laughter.) ' Mr. Ballantine—Are you a clerk in holy orders? Mr. Bourne—No, Sir. Mr. Ballantine—Did you ever derive any benefit from the society in question? . Mr. Bourne said he held several life policies in the society, which was a flourishing one; and published its accounts annually. There were clerical directors and clerical members, of high respectability, connected with the society. In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, the prosecutor said he derived no benefit at all from the information. He admitted that the condition on which he paid the money was, that it was to be returned if the information was not advantageous. Mr. Pelham was proceeding to put some further ques tions, when Mr. Bourne said he did not expect such a mode of examination would be adopted, and that he had come forward on public grounds. Mr. Ballantine was satisfied the prosecutor's motives were good, and said the solicitor had a right to ask the question he had done. Mr. Pelham said he would not act with discourtesy to the prosecutor, but as he had put the prisoner in the dock as a criminal, he must prove him to be one if he could. He asked Mr. Bourne if any time was specified for the return of the money if the information was use less. Mr. Bourne said there was not. He demanded the return of the money by letter, and that failing, he went to Ady's residence that day, and made a personal de mand of 205., and not being able to obtain it, he gave Ady into costody. He was promised information worth 1,000/. and upwards. The information he got was worth nothing. Mr. Ballantine found that Ady quoted several Acts of Parliament relating to clerical gentlemen holding shares in joint-stock companies, and finding the prosecutor belonged to a society, advised him to sell out. The case was in a nutshell •, was there a false pretence or not ? Mr. Pelham submitted there was no false pretence. The question was whether the information already given was worth' 20s. or not ; it was known to all the world that 20s. was Ady's free for giving information. Ady had already furnished the gentleman with information, and more was to be decided in futuro. There was no particular time agreed upon ; it might be a week, or a - month, or a year, before Ady would be enabled to afford the information which was to be advantageous to the prosecutor. Mr. Ballantino said this was not a case of false pre tence. Mr. Bourne said he had a charge of assault to prefer against Ady, who forced him out of his room when he demanded his money, and Mr. Ballantine said he might have a summons ; but he was subsequently advised by Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, to defer his application. Mr. Ballantine said the prosecutor could summon Ady to the Court of Requests for the money.—Ady was then discharged. MARYLEBONE SAVINGS' BANK, 76, WEL BECK-STREET.—Established July 5, 1830.

WAYS.—A correspondent informs us that Major- General Pasley has ceased to be the Government Inspector- General of Railways, and that Captain Coddington, the present deputy-inspector, will, in all probability, be the ga llant General's successor,—liforning Paper, MARKET INTELLIGENCE (From the London New Price Current of November 20.) SNGAR.—To day there were sellers of all inferior and brown descriptions of West India upon further reduced terms, making the fall compared with last Friday Is. per cwt ; nevertheless few buyers were to be met with, and some parcels were pressed for sale, but the better kinds of yellow and grey were wanted, and full rates offered, but few parcels could be obtained. The quantity of all sorts sold to-day was only 160, making the total sales for the week 910 hlids and trcs. r • . REFIWZD.—The supply continuing to increase causes the refiners to be free sellers, and they submitted to further re duced rates for all descriptions; the home trade, however, in consequence," have been induced to direct their attention more to Refined Sugar, and a good business has been trans acted. . Manarrius.—This afternoon at public sale 5,703 bags of Mauritius Sugar were offered, and chiefly sold at and after the sale; good and fine yellow kinds fetched the full value, but inferior and brown sold is per cwt cheaper. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 2,872 bags and 10 casks, and nearly the whole sold. White and strong yellow sorts, of which the chief part consisted, fetched very fall rates, but other sorts sold 6d to is lower. COCHINEAL is wanted, and at public sale this afternoon 68 bags of Honduras Silvers and 14 bags of Black were offered, and all sold at stiffer rates, the former low to good at 4s 6d to 5s 3d, and the latter 5s 9d to 5s Ild for ordinary and middling. Cocoa.—West India has been more sought after, but holders not being sellers at previous rates operated against business, and 640 bags of Trinidad at auction only in part sold. For Foreign Cocoa the market has a dull appearance, and late rates cannot be obtained. • COFFEE.—This afternoon none of any kind was offered at public sale, and privately there was scarcely any demand from exporters or the home trade. The worth of good ordi nary pale Native Ceylon is only 37s to 38s per cwt. FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 17 boxes of Havan nah sold at 44s 6d for brown-228 hhds 5 trcs 2 brls of Cuba Muscovado, midi yellow 46s 6d to 47s 6d,- low 45s to 465, good brown 445, inferior 42s 6d, being rather cheaper; 48 bxs white Cuba sold at 58s to 58s 6d, one lot inferior 51s, washed 578 6d, and 74 bxs yellow ditto, good 50s to 52s middling 48s to 49s 6d, being full rates. RlCE.—There has been less desire manifested to operate in Bengal this week, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms, still only small parcels have changed hands by pri vate contract ; 3,170 bags at auction yesterday were all taken in rather above the value. SPICEL—To-day at public sale 80 bags of Pimento were taken in at 4%d for good ; 161 casks of limed Nutmegs from Madeira were only in part sold at 3s ld to 3s 2d for second sort, which is rather lower; two cases of brown Penang, good 3s 7d, and slightly mouldy 3s ; 3 casks Amboyna Cloves withdrawn ; 5 chests Mace were taken in, fine red 38 Bd, and good 3s 4d per lb. Srutrrs.—lmporters of Jamaica Rum evince firmness, and insist upon fully previous rates for all descriptions; there has been a brisker demand this week,chiefly from the home trade. Leeward Island is wanted at 2s 7d to 2s 8d per gallon, proof strength, but few parcels are to be had. There are several buyers of East India, upon previous improved terms. but the stock in first hands is nearly exhausted. Demerara is in short supply, and being wanted, prices rule firm at 3s 3d to 3s 8d for strong sorts. Brandy has met with little attention. INDIGO.—The market has an improving appearance for all descriptions of East India. Bengal has been in good demand for exportation, and the home trade have been purchasers to a fair extent ; the rates paid have been equal to those of the last quarterly sale to 2d per lb advance. Of Madras several parcels found purchasers at a rise in the full value of 2d to 3d. Other kinds have been in fair demand at October rates to a small advance. SALTPETRE.—HoIders have refused to submit to any fur ther reduction in prices, but the home and export demand at present is limited for all qualities, and 1,950 bags of Calcutta at auction were only in part sold at the previous currency British Refined is still in excellent request at 29s 6d to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is wanted, and prices are firm at 17s 6d to 18s per cwt. Ons.—This afternoon at public sale 29 casks oil only partly sold at 36s to 38s; 9 4 pkgs 20 tons Cochin 3 s co o f P s a C I o n h Cocoa Nut went at 42s to 42s 3d for fine , a nd low at 33s 35s per cwt. PORTRAIT OF SHAILSPERE.—A picture which is believed by some, well qualified to judge, to he a con temporary portrait of the great bard, has come into the possession of the excellent Bishop of Ely. It was found in an obscure broker's shop, where nothing could be learnt of its previous history : it has no name on it, but cleaning has made apparent in one part, " At. 39, 1603," which agrees with the 'age of Shakspere in that year. We have not yet seen the picture, and cannot at once, after so many disappointments, give implicit credence to the statement; what we know, however, of those who have examined the portrait, and of the judgment of the Right Rev. Bishop himself, induces us to believe it will be found correct, and that a great discovery has indeed been made.—The Builder. EAST AND WEST YORKSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. —The eastern portion of this line, extending from the New Inn Allerton, to near the city of York, a distance of 10i miles, was on Saturday week let to Mr. niggles, of Tadcaster, who is also a contractor on the Church Fenton Railway. The works on this part of the line are of very easy construction, being nearly all on a leNei.— e Yyrhshire gazette, -- = - - ~ BRITISH IRON COMPANY ' ,--.,...„.._ The general half-yearly meeting of the Old - : 4 ,;;;; ------- ...c . - , z-Qh. gt I Iron Company was held yesterday, at the ofli I _,AN,,.

A SHAREHOLDER inquired why the letter announcing the name of the defaulters had not been sent round? The CHAIRMAN said that he thought the resolution to that effect had been hastily passed at the last meeting, and on consulting the solicitors of the company, it was conceived advisable not to circulate the list ; but 'sax announcement had been forwarded stating that it was ready, and might toeach shareholder, might be seen ahttbehoffice. There were several sums still to be obtained, some of them of magnitude, and as the negotiations were almost ripe for conclusion, he believed that it would be better to say nothing further upon the subject. Mr. lirrcumvs inquired what was the amount received since the last meeting? The CHAIRMAN said, that the whole of the money re ceived was 13,1771. 14s. ld. Mr. HITCHENB then expressed his satisfaction at the conduct of the directors. A SHAREHOLDER then inquired what was the spect for the future. The CHAIRMAN replied that if the business could be wound up within six months, a speciel general meeting would be called for the purpose, but if they could not succeed in that object they must abide by their deed of settlement, and bring the business to a conclu sion at next usual half-yearly meeting. Of one thing he had the satisfaction to inform the meeting, and that was, that nothing would for the future be taken out of their pockets, but in all probabi lity something would be returned to them.—(Hear.) Thanks were then voted to the directors and the chairman especially. The latter returned thanks, and the meeting was dissolved. . ~~ LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 20. REYNELL V. LEWIS. The Attorney-General having obtained a rale nisi for a new trial in this case, on the ground of misdirection, Mr. Knowles, Mr. Crampton, and Mr. Willes, appeared to show cause against the rule. The plaintiff was an advertising agent, and sought to recover a sum of money alleged to be due to him for advertisements in connexion with the Central Kent Rail way. The defendant was a provisional committeeman of the railway in question. The alleged misdirection was, that there was no evi dence to go to the jury to bring home liabilities to the defendant; neither was there any evidence to show that he had ever attended a meeting of the provisional com mittee. Mr. KNOWLES now contended that there was ample evidence to go to the jury, and the fact of the defendant having been a member of the provisional - cominittee, made him a partner in the concern and liable for the expenses incurred until an Act of incorporation was obtained ; and when that Act was obtained, then each member of a provisional committee was to be con. sidered as a partner with the other shareholders. In the preliminary expenses of establishing the scheme the provisional committee was nothing more than a partner ship for the purpose of carrying out a certain object, and each member was to be bound by the decision of the majority. • Mr. Baron PARKE—In the case of a provisional com mittee of twelve persons, seven of whom were for incur-. ring certain expenses, would their decision bind the minority? Mr. KNOWLES—I apprehend it would, my Lord. Mr. Baron PARKE—I do not think it would have that effect. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—If such committee should pro ceed to incur these expenses in the manner they always do, namely, leading people to suppose that the committee were unanimous upon such a point, in that case the nority would be clearly liable, unless they took the pre caution to let it be known that they dissented from mob. proceedings. Mr. Baron PARKE—Certainly. In the course of the argument of Mr. Willes Baron ALDERSON wished to know whether it was not the custom of some advertising agents to select those papers for advertising which allowed them the largest amount of profit, without reference to the circulation or quality of the paper ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL--It was so stated upon the trial • in the present case, he believed, a large numb ex had been inserted in the defunct Iron Times. Mr. MIXES proceeded with his arguments at some Length. The Attorney-General was about to reply, when The COURT intimated that, in consequence of the lateness of the hour, the further hearing of the case had: better be postponed till to-morrow.
