Nov. s.—Put back Quebec, of Glasgow,, for St. John's, New Brunswick. In the evening of the 30th ult. the Custom-house cutter Recherche, of Sherbourg, made a seizure in the Bay of St. Anae, of an English boat, having on board between 800 and 900 kilogrammes of tobacco, with a hamper of pottery, which it was attempting to run. THE LATE Ma. P. M. STEW ART, M.P.—The mortal remains of the above lamented gentleman were deposited in the family vault at Inverkip, Renfrewshire, on Wednesday last. The funeral was conducted in the most private manner, in accordance with the wish of the deceased. ASSAULTS ON POLICE-CONSTABLES.—The COM missioners of the Metropolitan Police have given direc tions to the differe it suisriatendents of divisions to cause a report to b made out of all cases of assaults on police-constables, which may be brought before the ma gistrates at the various police-courts, for the purpose of having the names of those constables entered into a book at Scotland-yard, se that the men, if injured, may receive sufficient compensation when applying for pen sions. Should, however, the constables be the aggres sors, the Commissioners have directed that their conduct should be investigated, and be punished accordingly. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—We understand that Mr. Bremner, of Wick, civil engineer, at the request of the underwriters concerned in this monster steam-ship, now stranded at Dundrum Bay, has visited and reported jointly with Mr. Alexander Bremner, of Liverpool, upon the present state and position of this vessel, together with the best means for the prevention of further damage, and finally as to tha practicability of taking her off. We learn that the report of these gentlemen is to the effect that this strong vessel has as yet received comparatively little injury ; that means may be used for beaching the vessel, by keeping the stern to the sea until next season, and that then it will be perfectly practicable to take her off the strand. At present the tide flows and ebbs regularly in this magnificent vessel, which sits nearly upright on the rock which forms the substratum of the rock at Dundrum Bay, and the officers and crew are still on board. To meet the exposed nature of the bay and the great length of the vessel, the Messrs. Bremner have proposed power ful tackling, whereby to beach the vessel in stormy weather, and a peculiarly original and ingenious con struction of timber over the stern resting at the top on the vessel and on the rock at the bottom, and strongly braced diagonally with chain cables therefrom to the midships. This is intended to act at once as a break-water, a support to the overhanging stern, and as a means of keeping the vessel-end to the sea. With these means, which have been sanctioned by the board of directors, and are now being carried into execution on this iron mammoth, the strong probability is that the vessel will be preserved entire in her present preca rious position, and be got off early next year by these gentlemen.— Glasgow Chronicle. ACCIDENTS ATTENDING THE GUT FAWKES' RUH DITIONS.—During Thursday the following serious acci dents occurred, owing to the many Guy Fawkes' exhi bitions carried about the metropolis. In Providence row, Finsbury, a number of men with a boy upon their shoulders, dressed up as a Guy, were about to cross the carriage way, hurriedly, in consequence of the approach of an omnibus, when one slipped, causing the whole to fall down, and before they could recover themselves, one of the party, named Watkins, was run over by the omni bus and sustained serious injuries. On the river, near London-bridge, a lad dressed in the usual ludicrous style, was placed on an elevated position in a boat, for the pur pose of begging money of the steam-boat passengers, when trying to catch a coin thrown towards him, a youth fell overboard, and would have been drowned but for the prompt assistance rendered from the shore. He was taken to a public house in an insensible state, where by means of the usual restoratives, he, in about a couple of hours, was enabled to leave, although in a very weak and dangerous state. In the neighbourhood of White chapel and! Poplar numerous accidents occurred. one, particularly, in which a lad ignited a squib, and threw it towards a horse attached to a cab. The animal imme diately took fright told started off at a furious rate, and in its progress knocked down and very severely injured several foot passengers. It was ultimately stayed by coming against a heavily laden dust cart. In one pro cession, where Guido was dressed up in costly parapher nalia, and was proceeding along the Belvidere-road, Lambeth, an inebriated individual set fire to Fawkes' dress, when the poor boy was placed in great jeopardy, but he was released by the speedy assistance of his companions. lioutortN-HILL VIA.DUCT.—A company has been formed for the improvement of the thoroughfare from Holborn-hill, across Farringdon-street, and along Skin ner-street to Snow-hill, by means of a viaduct level from hill to hill. The viaduct is intended to commence at or near the south end of Snow-hill, in Skinner-street, and to terminate on the south side of Holborn-hill, nearly opposite to Ely-place, striding the dangerous valley of Farringdon-street, by about a 95 feet iron bridge, and an elevation of about 22 feet clear headway. The total length of the viaduct will be about 900 feet, and the su perstructure 50 feet. From Holborn-hill to Farringdon street the approach will embrace a portion of the site of parts of the present buildings on the south side of the street, so as to leave forty yards of the present roadway on the north side, and it is intended to form a new elevation abutting upon the viaduct, with ornamental shop fronts, and under the viaduct will also be shops fronting the present roadway , and communicating with Farringdon-street. From the south side of Snow-hill, in Skinner-street, to Farringdon-street, the approach will embrace the whole width of Skinner-street (but leaving the road along Snow-hill to Farringdon-street untouched), and it is intended to open the properties oti each side of Skinner-street to abut upon the viaduct with elevations similar, or as near as may be deemed ad visable, to those intended to be formed on Holborn-hill. The estimated cost of the works is 200,0001. THE APPROACHINGBANQUET AT GUILDHALL.— On Thursday evening, an experimental light of the gas chande liers, &c., as arranged for the Lord Mayor's banquet, took place in the Guildhall, in the presence of about 1,000 spectators. The whole of the decorations of the Hall are complete, and consist of groups of flags, ban ners, armour, &c. At the east end are shields, con taini the arms of all nations ; above are the wor d s .. God save the Queen," illuminated, and surrounded by groups of flags, &cc. At the west end is a brilliantly illuminated revolving strar. From the centre of the ceiling is suspended a chan delier , and towards the east and west ends are susp e nded te two magnificent ehan defiers, which have not used since her Majesty's . first State visit to the City ,en they are in the form of plateaux, from a circular lu 1837 .1 1 ; ter about twelve feet, material glass, with beautifullyasoluitsted gilt borders, .be convex from which spring innumerable th a noble surface, which is towards the ex hibits Lorje glass springs of unique design in white and coloured each contains her Majesty's arms, from which' brilliant radiated, crystallised, prismatic star, P b r e i tZ s e between th e points of which are twelve compartments, in each of six are the italic letters V. R., beautifully intertwined • in each of the other six is a crown, with a grouped rose, thistle, and shamrock. The whole, when lighted by gas, under the direction of Mr. Wade, had a magnificently brilliant effect. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1846. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 6. The Lord Chancellor was occupied the whole morning with hearing appeals, none of which possessed any fea ture of interest. LORD V. WIGHTWICK. In this case the appellant obtained leave to amend the petition of appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor of England within a fortnight. CARMICHAEL V. CARMICHAEL. This - appeal from the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce was partly argued, and ordered to stand over till to- morrow. HAWKES V. HOWELL. This appeal was dismissed, no person appearing for be appellant. HEMMING V. SWINERTON. This appeal from the Vice-Chancellor of England, the question in which related to an award, occupied the Court the remainder of the day, TOLLS' COURT, Nov. 4. CARPMEAL V. POWIS. This was a cause in which the plaintiff sought to amend and rectify a settlement which he had executed in favour of the defendant, Letitia Po•.vis. The facts were simply these ;—Trie defendant, a lady of property, had agreed to sell the plaintiff two freehold houses of which she was possessed for a sum of 1,8001. The plain tiff, finding it more convenient to pay an annuity than the purchase money, intimated the same to Miss Powis, who seemed satisfied with the proposal. Her brother, Mr. Thomas Powis, was then authorised to ascertain what would be the amount of annuity granted on the life of a spinster of fifty-eight years, the age of Miss Powis ; and the plaintiff agreed to give one per cent. more than Government would give. The ques tion was answered by a gentleman in the Government office, named Cuthbert, who stated on a slip of paper that the sum would be 1581. 9s. 63., and the defendant then offered 1761. 10s. fiti. This occurred on the 3d of October, 1839, and on the Bth of the same month the deed was executed. The plaintiff, however, having per ' ceived, some time after, from a statement in the 7 imes, that Government gave lower annuities on female lives than on those of males, and that consequentl7 he had given a larger annuity than he intended to have done, adopting as a mode of calculation the information he had received as to the aMount that would be granted by Go vernment. Lord LANGDALE took time to consider his judgment.' His Lordship has fixed Saturday as the day in future for short causes, consent causes, and unopposed petitions, and for general petitions the 24th instant. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nom 6. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND) His Hosoutt, after disposing of the unopposed peti ions and short causes in his paper, proceeded with the lather arguments in the part-heard cause petition of 'GRACE V. WEBB We gave the facts of this petition yesterday, the question in which was whether the petitioner was en titled under the will of the testator in the cause to an annuity of 201. or to one of 40/. The Master had re ported in favour of the annuity of 201. His HoNoun, at the conclusion of the arguments, gave judgment overruling the Master's report, the effect of which would be to give the petitioner an annuity of 40/. The Court was occupied the remainder of the morning with cause petitions. (B&ore Sir J. AVIonAm.) KEMP V. HURST. IBS TIONOUR ordered this cause to stnnd over till to. morrow. DUNCOMBE, 11. P., v. LEVY. This was a case in which the defendant had taken proceedings against the plaintiff to recover 1,2001., which was due to him by the plaintiff. It aas alleged on behalf of the plaintiff that a civenant existed, executed at the time of contracting the debt, to the effect that the defen dant should not proceed against him for the recovery of the debt by law. His HONOUR said it appeared to him that in this cause there were two judgments, and the execution was carried down to the last. Considering the questions that had been raised at the bar, he could not now decide in favour of Mr. Levy. It was quite evident that Mr. Levy had ordered Mr. Lewis to proceed with the execu tion against the plaintiff; who alleged that, by that very act he forfeited the debt. The only question he had to decide was whether he should extinguish the debt of 1,2001., or grant indulgence to Mr. Levy. He would for the present suspend his judgment, and confine himself to the opinion he had expressed. LONEGAN V. SCIIOLEFIELD, AND LONEGAN V. LONEGAN. This cause came before his Honnur on an original supplemental bill, and the object of the suit was to dis pose of property to the value of 12,000/., conveyed by the testator in a marriage settlement. The object of the present application was to obtain a decree, by consent, to have an inviry before the Master. His Hosouß, after some deliberation, granted the inquiry. FRASER V. JONES AND OTHERS. This was a bill filed on behalf of the Glamorganshire Banking Company, with the view of establishing a mortgage against the defendants, Messrs. MaLey Jones, John Jones, and John Powell, which had been given to the banking company for a consideration of a sum of 6501. The question at issue was whether the banking company were trust mortgagees, or whether John Jones had not a prior claim to 2001. of the sum. It appeared that in September, 1842, B. Jones and Mr. Powell applied to the company in question to advance a sum of 6001., in security of which he offered them a mortgage on certain house property, on which Powell represented that he had a mortgage of 1,8001., and further stated that he had deposited this mortgage with Mr. J. JODe3 for a sum of 1,000/., which he was indebted to him. The company advanced the sum de manded, requiring, merely as security, seven promisscry notes, which were accepted by Mr. B. Jones, and en dorsed by Mr. Powell. A mortgage was executed, in which the former mortgage was mentioned, as well as its lodgement with Mr. John Jones, as alsu that another mortgage existed to a gentleman named Parry. It was alleged on the part of the plaintiff that when the advance was made there was no dr:bt of 1,000/. due to Mr. J. Jones, nor any deposit of the mortgage deed. It was also alleged that the object of Powell was to obtain a priority of claim over the bank. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. G. (Sittings in Banco.) AGENCY.—KEELEY AND ANOTHER V. WRAY. This case was tried at Nottingham before Mr. Justice Coleridge, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff for 2101. 6s. The plaintiffs are manufacturers at Notting ham, and the defendant is in partnership with a gentle man named Graham, of Philadelphia. A Mr. Taylor, of Liverpool, who has since become bankrupt, acted as the agent of Messrs. Wray and Graham, and ordered large quantities of goods for them, for which he paid, and which were transmitted to him at Liverpool, in order to be shipped for their destination. The invoices were made out in his name, and the firm looked to him, and not to Messrs. Wray and Graham, for payment of the goods which they supplied to his order. At the trial a witness of the name of Steadman proved that Mr. Graham visited Nottingham, and e pressed a wish to be introduced to persons who could supply the wants of the firm of which he was a member. Mr. Steadman inquired his terms; to which he replied, that his firm wanted no credit; that Taylor was their agent; that he had money belonging to it in his possession, and that he would pay ready money. Graham selected goods which were at once paid for, and further orders were given by Ta:,lor. The action was for the balance of an account which, it ap peared, Taylor had neglected to pay, although he had received money for the purpose of paying for all goods supplied to the firm through him. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE referred at some length to his notes of the trial. From the evidence adduced, it ap peared that Wray stated, on one occasion, when the plaintiff complained that the accounts of the firm were paid in a very irregular manner, that he was sorry for it, and exonerated the firm from blame, as Taylor had had money in his hands some time to discharge them. It further appeared that the invoices were made out thus: Keeley and Co. in account with Wray and Co., and that money had been enclosed to the plaintiffs on such an in voice. lie (Mr. Justice Coleridge), in directing the jury, left it to them to say whether the custom of the trade did or did not warrant the plaintiffs in looking to the defendants for the payment of the balance of their account. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the ground that there was scarcely any evidence to go to the jury, and that there was no authority for the verdict which they returned. The simple point at issue was, with whom the contract was made. In the first place, he contended that it was made between Messrs. Keeley and Taylor, and that Taylor had no authority to pledge the credit of Messrs. Wray and Graham. Lord DENatAN considered that there was sufficient evidence to go to the jury, and refused the application. HOLE V. WHITE AND OTHERS.—DEPOSITING PROPERTY AS SECURITY BEFORE A FIAT OF BANKRUPTCY. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict found for the defendants in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of the verdict being against evidence and mis direction on the part of the Learned Judge who tried the case. The action was tried at the last Lirerpeol Assizes before Mr. Justice Cresswell, and was one of trover to recover the value of a quantity of hops. The pleas were not guilty and not possessed— the question at issue being whether the plaintiff was en titled to recover the value of a quantity of hops deposited with him on the 3d of May last year, under the follow inn' c i rcums t an ces :—The plaintiff was formerly a brewer at Manchester, an:l whilst engaged in that occupation he employed a clerk named Boddington. He also carried on the business of a =lister in Bucks, which he conti nued to follow after relinquishing his occupation as a brewer in Manchester, being in the habit of sending hops to Manchester for sale, Boddington acting as his agent, and the plaintiff being in the habit of frequently visiting Manchester, in order to receive the produce from Boddington. Boddington c . arried on business on his own ace , writ, and, in the spring of last year, speculated largely in bops. He had pur chased large quantities from the warehousemen with whom they were deposited for sale. At the trial it appeared from the evidence of Badding. ton's brother that, observing hire very uneasy for some days before the 2d of May, he asked him the reason. He at first declined to reply to the question, but on his brother inquiring if he had been using any of Mr. Hole's money, he, after some hesitation, replied that lie had. The brother said it was a serous matter and must be settled immediately in some way or other. He then went had ttMeorn.tHarrison,inuea t ocarr t y he on f( t lm e b er us p i a n r e t s n s er and ofM o r l . d H h o i le, how the matt er s t oo d . M r. P otter, the plaintiff's t solieito m r, was consulted, and a meeting took place, at which both Mr. Potter and Mr. Boddington's brother insisted that he (Boddington) s h ou ld d epos i t hops, of the value of 2,000/. and upwards, to indemnify Mr. Hole against loss. Potter stated that he was at first unwilling to accede to the proposition, but that he ultimately consented, and deposited them on the following Monday, when they were taken possession of by Mr. Hole. Immediately after Boddington wrote to a per son at Worcester, from whom he was in the habit of purchasing hops, and to other creditors, all of whom came to Manchester, where they had several meetings, the result of which was, that a fiat of bank ruptcy was issued on the 25th May, and a messenger of the Court of Bankruptcy forcibly took possession of the hops. The bankrupt stated, on oath, at the trial, that at the time of depositing the hops he did not contem plate an act of bankruptcy, and that he had ample pro perty, he believed, to pay twenty shillings in the pound ; that the proposition did not originate with him, but with his brother, and negatived anything like fraud in the business. He (plaintiff) sought to recover what he believed himself legally entitled to. Now he (Mr. Martin) con tended that the deposit of the hops was not a fraudulent deposit under the bankrupt laws, and that the defend ants, who were the assignees of the bankrupt, and whose duties did not commence until the 25th of May, had no right to seize for the benefit of the creditors. Neither was there any proof of fraudulent preference; in fact, the defendants, on whom the onus of proof lay, did not attempt to show any. But Mr. Justice Little dale, in giving judgment in the case of Mor gan v. Blunt, 5 Barnewall and Adolphus, p. 289, stated, in order to show fraudulent preference it was necessary to prove that the deposit was voluntary, and in contemplation of bankruptcy. There was no direct evidence of this kind adduced, and he made an objection on this point at the trial, but it appeared by the 90:h section of the Bankruptcy Act that assignees were not bound to do so. Mr. Justice ERLE inquired if there was any evidence at the trial to show that Boddington was in a condition to pay 20s. in the pound? Mr. MARTIN said there was no direct evidence on the subject, but it appeared that hops fell shortly after the transaction, and subsequently rose again, but there was nothing to show that he could not do so. He could have raised the money on the hops at the time by selling them, but he wished to keep them until the price im proved. This was not like the act of an insolvent. Then be held that the misdirection consisted in the Learned Judge stating that the act was an adverse one, inasmuch as it appeared that the deposit was involuntary. Lord DENMAN said he would consult the Learned Judge who tried the case. PI6IC.FORD L. LACON.—TAKING PLACES IN A COACH. This case was tried in the Bail Court on Tuesday last, before Mr. Justice Patteson, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff on the first and second counts, with the leave of the Learned Judge to move for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff upon the first count, with 3/. 4s. damages, or upon the second count, with les. or 17s. damages. The application turned entirely upon the finding of the jury. The plaintiff is proprietor of a coach running between Yarmouth and London, and the defendant applied to have three places reserved for him in the coach—one in side and two out—for which he paid a deposit of a guinea, but had refused to pay three guineas more, the cost of the three places being 4/. The pleas set forth, first, the general issue ; secordly, that the plaintiff did not reserve fur the defendant and other persons the seats they required, and that the plaintiff was not ready and willing to convey the defendant and other passengers; there was also a plea of payment. '1 he places were taken ore the 16th of June, and the next day the defendant took his seat on the box, Lis maid-servant at the back, and Mrs. Lecon inside. At Renton, some miles from Yarmouth, several little girls were placed on the coach, and at Yox ford, thirty miles from Yarmouth, the defendaat and his wife left the coach, declining to proceed any further. They left the servant behind and proceeded themselves in a post-chaise to London. It could not be said that the plaintiff did not fulfil his contract; the seats were re served, and the parties were not subjected to any more of the inconveniences than generally attended a journey in a coach. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Said he was in the case at the trial, and had some recollection of an infant—fre quently no pleasant companion in a long journey—being a passenger by the coach.—(Laughter.) Mr. WATSON said a young child could not have taken up much room, and considered that no breach of contract couli be charged on that ground. Lord DENMAN inquired how many persons altogether were in the coach ? Mr. WATSON said fifteen, thirteen being the number they were licensed to carry ; but then the majority were young children, who did not occupy anything like the room of adults. The lady inside bed her full 16 inches of room, in accordance with the Act of Parliament. Lord DENMAN said—Then in point of fact, according to the view of the Learned Counsel, the license was to be measured by the extent of the bodies of the pas sengers.—(Laughter.) If the plaintiff was licensed to carry thirteen, and carried forty instead, the defendant and his friends were not bound to go by his coach. Mr. WATSON also held that the defendant was bound to pay for the journey to Yoxford, and for the journey of the servant to London. Lord DENMAN said it was possible that by taking the defendant to Yoxford he was placed in a worse position with respect to getting to London than if he had not left Yarmouth. The application was acceded to with respect to the first count. BAIL COURT, /Von. 6. (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTEsoN.) EXPARTE HENRY EDWARDS. Mr. PETERSDORF moved for leave to exhibit articles of peace on the part of Henry Edwards against Joseph Crawford. The parties were rival omnibus drivers, the exhibitant being driver of ono of the twopenny omni buses. Mr. Justice PATTESON thought the fears of the exhi bitant were not sufficiently grounded, and rauscd the application. THE QUEEN V. DURANT. Mr. WARREN applied for a writ of certiorari to bring up an indictment for an assault from the Clerken well Session to this Court. The circumstances out of which the indictment arose were of a very peculiar nature, and would give rise to various questions i❑ law, and would raise the question as to the right of the de ponent to enter the offices to inspect the books of a cer tain company until the sum of 7,5001. was paid. The bill of indictment charged the offence to have been com mitted on the 10th of July, 1846, but the prosecutor had taken no steps in the matter until the present time. Mr. Justice PATTESON granted a rule nisi, in case the offence was a felony, and a rule absolute, in case it should be only a misdemeanour. THE QUEEN V. THE CO3IMISSIONERS OF SEWERS rOR THE he stated that he was not to be considered responsible for the goods, as he had not ordered them. Notwithstanding this statement, the plaintiff still continued to supply tll goods down to the following year, and for which they also sont in their account to plaintiff. It also appeared upon the trial, that a clerk in the employ of the plaintiff stated, that the goods were booked is the name of Sanders, the party to whom the goods were sent, and that in keeping the books the goods were always entered in the name of the person to whom the goods were sent, and not in the name of the party who had ordered them, and it appeared that there was no evidence whatever to prove the liability of the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) WORSHIP-STREET. This morning, a whole host of juveniles were brought to this office, charged with letting off fireworks in the public thoroughfares. Among the rest was a lad named Frederick Dalton, thirteen years of age, who, it appeared, when cautioned by the police-constable, was urged on to the continuation of the nuisance by his mother ; and one of the squibs which he afterwards let off struck the constable upon the side of his face. He then took him into custody. lie was fined ss. James Hillingswaith, a mechanic, was charged by William Butler, an officer employed at the Britannia Saloon, with creating a disturbance and attempting to defraud the proprietors thereof. Butler stated that on Thursd4sy evening the prisoner came to the saloon and paid 3d. for his entrance into the pit. re he became very obnoxious, and at length clam bered over a railing five feet high, and which separated the pit from a more expensive part of the house. The prisoner, who had before been repeatedly cautioned, was now forced from the theatre, and given into custody. The prisoner, who begged hard for forgiveness, was mulct in the penalty of 5. _ SOUTHWARK. Thomas Riley, a well dressed young man, was brought befor , , Mr. Seeker, charged v - ith assaulting police-con stabl:? Lewis while, in the execution of his duty. Tite policeman stated that on Thursday evening he was on duty at the entrance at the Surrey Theatre, when he perceived the defendant annoying parties who were en tering the house. He requested him to desist. Finding that he still carried on his system of annoyance, he took him by the arm for the purpose of removing him, when he suddenly turned round and struck him in the face. He then, with some difficulty, took him to the st,(tion-house. Tire prisoner, in defence, said that he was intoxicated at the time. Mr. SECKER raid the plea of intoxication was no ex tenuation, and that he must pay a fine of los. He was then committed in default of paying the penalty. Margaret Cunningham, a young female, was chvrged with v, Fully smashing several panes of glass in a trades man's shop window. It appeared a lodger in the complainant's house, meet ing with tile defendant in the Kent-road, invited her to accompany him home to supper. He then opened the door with a latch-key, and was proceeding up stairs to his apartment with his new acquaintance, when the landlord, hearing footsteps on the stairs, went out and insisted on the prisoner's expulsion. The prisoner, irritated at being treated with such incivility, on getting into the street. sent a shower of gravel and small stones at the windows, and smashed several panes of glass. The prisoner expressed her sorrow at having broken the windows, and said that she had been out for a holi day, she was tired, and that meeting with the com plainant's lodger she accompanied him to have some supper, when she was so unceremoniously thrust out of the house. Mr. SEeKER said she had acted with great folly in availing herself of the invitation of an utter stranger. She must pay for the wilful damage or be committed. LATEST PRICES OF SHARES, IN BANKS,.

Mr. cRowDER, Q.c., applied for a rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue to remove a cer tain presentment, made in the Court of the Commis sioners of Sewers for the City of Westminster, into the jurisdiction of this Court. It appeared, that at a Court held by the Commis sioners of Sewers, in Westminster, an order was made upon Wm. Kennaird Jenkins, to construct certain sewers upon his own property. As Mr. Jenkins did not fulfil their directions, the Court imposed a fine of 3,0001 on him. Mr. Jenkins applied to have the cause removed into this Court, as he contended that the Court of Com missioners of Sewers had no right to interfere with his private property. The case was one of the utmost im portance, and would furnish a precedent for many other cases. Mr. Justice PATTESON—I suppose the case must be fully argued.—Take a rule nisi. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 6. (Sittings in Banco.) SAMUEL V. ROBINSON'. In this cause, which was tried in the city of London, before the Lord Chief Baron, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the sum of 811. 9s. Bd. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL DOW moved fora new trial, on the following grounds:—lt appeared that the action was brought by a Mr. Lyon Samuel against the defend ant, who was an auctioneer, to recover a certain sum of money, alleged to be due from the defendant on the sale of some plate which he was ordered to sell by the plain- tiff for him. It appeared that during the sale of the plate in question, which consisted partly of the stock of a silversmith in Regent-street, which plaintiff had bought for the purpose of the sale, as well as other pro perty, also belonging to the plaintiff, a person of the name of Makellar was bidding for some of the plate, and the plaintiff was also bidding against him, for the purpose of running up the price of the goods. It turned out, however, that the gentleman who had been bidding'' for the goods was a madman, that consequently the goods were not taken by him, and the goods were, by order of the plaintiff, put up again for sale, when they realised a considerably less sum than upon the first sale. The action was, therefore, brought to recover from the defendant, the amount of the difference for which the plate was sold upon the second time of sale. It was contended on the part of the plaintiff that it was customary for auctioneers in such cases to make up the deficiency, and among the witnesses called was one, who said that if an auctioneer were to sell an estate for the sum of 100,0001., and the purchase was not to be com pleted, and if the estate were again to be sold for the sum of 50,0001., the loss upon the second sale would have to be made up by the auctioneer himself. The COURT held that a contract made with a madman could not be binding upon any parties, whatever might be the usages of the trade.—fiule granted. RICHARDSON V DOYLE. In this cause, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron at this court, a verdict was returned for the plain tiff, with the sum of 47/. ss. 2d. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had on the following grounds:—lt appeared that the plaintiff was a stationer, residing on Ludgate hill. The defendant was a member of the bar, and was also connected with the Morning Chronicle newspaper ; and this action was brought to recover a sum of money alleged to be due to the plaintiff from the defendant for goods sold and delivered. The defendant pleaded "non-assumpsit." The evidence given in the case was that a gentleman in India, the proprietor of the Agra Aulthar, an Indian newspaper, had requested to have certain periodicals sent out from time to time to him in India. Defendant called upon Richardson the plaintiff, and having showed him the bottom of a letter which he had received from India, containing a list of periodicals which he required, and, at the same time, asked him if he (Richardson) knew the paper. The articles named in the letter were subse quently sent out to India ; they were not sent to defendant, nor was any bill or invoice at any time sent to him for the articles so forwarded to India until some time had elapsed, when plaintiff sent in an account to defendant for the goods so delivered. Defendant said he was sorry that he had not been paid, he would write to Sanders (tho person to whom the goods were sent), and Endeavour to get his money for him ; at the same time, LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

ALARMING FIRR.—On Thursday morning between eight and nine o'clock, the inhabitants of Field-lane, Holborn, were alarmed by hearing loud cries of" Firer' proceeding from the houie, No. 1, in the lane. Upon the neighbours entering one of the rooms they found' a quantity of straw that had been used as a bed in a get.eral blaze. At the same time two or three children were in the room, and the fire was burning most fiercely. Atter some trouble the flames were extinguished; but one child was so severely burnt about the body that it was forced to be removed to the hospital. The outbreak was occasioned by a spark flying from a lucifer-match among the straw on its being struck against the box.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on a very limited scale, yet the show of samples—most of which were left over from Monday's market—was large. All descriptions were a very dull inquiry, at a further decline in the quotations of quite l s per quarter. With foreign Wheat we were fairly supplied, while so little 'Was doing in it that the prices were almost nominal. In Grain under lock no sales took place. The quantity of English Barley was small, that of foreign good, and of excellent quality. That article was very dull, and is per quarter cheaper. The show of Malt was very trifling, yet as the large brewers kept out of the market the sale was heavy, at barely late rates. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were obtainable on easier terms.

We had on Offer 540 Oxen and Cows, 1,440 Sheep, and 19 Calves, from Holland and other foreign ports. Although the numbers of Sheep were small, the Mutton trade was in a very depressed state, at, in some instances, an abatement in value of 2d per Sibs. In Calves comparatively little was doing, at barely stationary vices. The Pork trade was heavy, at our quotations.

SUGAR.---To-day there was no increase in the demand for raw or refined Sugar for home consumption, notwithstanding the hurricane in the Havannah ; but holders were not in clined to press sales.

The demand for fruit generally has been rather considerable this week; but further large ar rivals are daily expected. RicE.—To day at public sale 190 barrels of Rio Tapioca were only in part sold at 4 1 4 d to 4. 1 / 2 d for fine white. FOREIGN.—There has been only a limited business trans acted by private treaty in Foreign Sugar of any description for exportation, and none has been offered at public sale, but holders are firm and insist upon even stiffer rates, although the stock is heavy. COFFEE.—To-day there was little passing privately in Foreign Coffee, and 215 brls of Rio at auctien was mostly taken in rather above the value. COCOA.—West India has met with little attention pri. vately, although there are sellers rather under previous rates; at auction 60 bags Grenada were sold at 38s per cwt fir middling red. The stock is still heavy. and nearly double of what it was at this time last year, and the delive ries keep on a small scale only SPIRITS.—There has been a considerable increase in the demand for all descriptions of Jamaica Rum this week, and an advance in the value of 2d per gallon has taken place ; the business transacted has been extensive. Leeward Island has been largely dealt in, and prices have risen 3d per gallon. Demerara is wanted, and stiff er tell are offered, but business has been checked by the sun Siff)" ply at market.

In this cause, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, in the city of London, and in which a verdict was given for the defendant, Mr. CROWDER, on the part of the plaintiff, moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had, upon the grounds of mis direction. The plaintiff was a printer and stationer, and sought to recover frcfromthe defendant, w h ose name ap peared as a provis ional committeeman on the Direct London and Dublin Railway, for supplying stationary and printing to the order of the secretary of the above company. The evidence given to fx the defendant with the liability was a letter, which was put in, written by a brother of the d e f en d ant ' s to a person o f the name of Collins, in answer to a letter written by the lat!er to him, but which was not produced at the trid, although notice to . produce it h a d b een serve d upon th:i parties, in which the writer acknowledged the receipt of the letter from . Collins, and st a t e d t h a t h e h a d for warded the letter to brother, and that they would be happy to co-operate with him, or l en d hi m an y assist ance in the formation of a company, which lay in their power ; and further stated, You may use my name and the name of my brother in your prospectus." Upon the receipt of this letter, the name of defendant was accord ingly printed among the list of the provi s i ona l commit tee. The Lord Chief Justice held that no proof was given of the defendanes agreement to act upon the com mittee, nor any authority from him to any person to use his name, and a verdict was accordingly returned for the defendant.—Rule refused. SALISBURY AND LMA3IINGTON JUNCTION RAILWAY.- BANKS V. GOOD. This action was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, and a verdict was returned for the defendant. The plaintiff, it appeared, was an advertising agent, ao d the defendant a gentleman residing in the Isle of Wight, whose name appeared among the li s t o f t h e prov i s i ona l committee of the Salisbury and Leamington Junction Railway. It appeared from the evidence given at the trial, that the company was registered en iho sth of September, 1845, and it was not till the month of October following that the name of the do fendant appeared as one of the provisional committee, and that up to that period all the expenses had been paid by Mr. Wheal, the solicitor, who got up the company, who II:id also during that period employed the plaintiff. It fur ther appeared that a person of the name of Downes was employed by the solicitor to collect names to form a provisional committee. The name :of Downer also ap• ',eared on the list, but an indemnity was, hoverer, given to him by the solicitor. He applied to the defendant for authority to insert his name in the list of the provisional committee, which was granted. He had, however, never attended any meetings of the committee, nor taken any part in the management of the affairs of the company. Mr. Gonsort now moved for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, and contended that the Lord Chief Baron, in leaving the case with the jury, ought not to have left them to decide upon the legal point Its to whether a party, who had authorised his name to be used as a provisional committeeman, was or was not liab:e. The LORD CHIEF BARON said that he had a very strong opinion upon the case, and considered that the verdict as given by the jury was perfectly right and proper.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 6. (Sittings in Banco.) DARKER v. STEAD. Mr. Sergeant CHANN E L moved for a role to show cause why the verdict in this case should not he set aside, and a nonsuit entered, or a new trial granted, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, or that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the verdict. The a: - .ition was brought by Mr. Barker, the adverti:ing agent, against M r . Stead, a provisional director of the Eastern and Northern Counties Junction Railway Com pany. The case was tried at the last Maidstone Assiz , ss, and a verdict given for the plaintiff for 500/. The sum sought to be recovered was 910/. 9s. The sum was reduced to 5001., on the ground, that admitting the lia bility of the defendant, there was no evidence that any of the debt had been contracted before the 2:1 of October. It was also alleged that too many advertisements had been inserted. The railway in question was projected by a Mr. Morris, who appointed a Mr. Wright as secre tary. Wright wrote to Mr. James Stead, Brcdford, to be come a provisional committeeman. That letter was proved to have been posted. The Manager of the York shire B inking Company deposed that there were two James Steads in Bradford. A letter, assenting to Wright's application, was produced, though it was not shown that the defendant was the James Stead in question. In the defence it was averred that the provisional com mittee did not meet till the 27th of October, 184:5; and on that day the managing committee was appointed. Early in November the scheme was abandoned. Mr. Stead had never attended any of the meetings held in the meantime. On the slight and inconclusive evideuce, therefore, of the letter sent to Mr. Stead, and his answer, with the statement of Mr. Duckett, the manager of the banking company, was the verdict returned. Rule granted. ?ARRATT a. BLUNT AND CORNFOOT—THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN, AND NORTHERN JAMAICA RAILWAY. Mr. HUMPHREY moved for a rule to set aside the ver dict in this case, and nonsuit the plaintiff, or for a new trial. This was another action brought by Mr. Parratt, an advertising agent, against two of the provisional direc tors of the Southern, Eastern, and Northern Jamaica Railway Company, for advertisements inserted in the papers between the 9th and 25th of September, 1845. The verdict was for the plaintiff, damages 800/. It was tried at the last sittings after term in Middlesex, before Mr. Justice Coltman. He submitted that there was no evidence against Blunt to justify the verdict, and very alight evidence indeed against Corn foot. The defetdants attended but one meeting, on the Ist of December—the first meeting ever held and about the same time they intimated in writing to the secretary that they retired from the concern. Rule to show cause granted. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in Middlesex, before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) APPS v. REID AND OTHERS. The Court was occupied all the morning with tLis case, which is an action brought by Mr. Apps, a gentle man residing in Blackfriars-road, against Reid and Co., brewers, to recover damages for an accident occasioned to the plaintiff, arising from one of their drays coming in contact with his gig, and overturning it, while passing down Liquorpond street. The defence was that the accident arose from the carelessness of the plaintiff. Verdict for the plaintiff — Damages, 3/. 10s. PARRATT V.

READ V. lIENDERSON. — THE WOOD PAVEMENT. Mr. Sergeant BYLES moved for a new trial on the grounds of misdirection and that the verdi c t was against evidence. Th e act i on , which was for an a ll ege d in fringement of a patent for constructing wood-blocks for paving, was tried at the last Surrey assizes, before Mr. Baron Parke, and a verdict was given for the defendant. The COURT refused the rule. PALACE COURT, Nov. 6. (Before B. BRENT, Esq.) WRIGHT V. PRATT. Mr. KEYSER stated the case. This was an action to recover the sum or 51., the balance of a bill of exchange accepted by the defendant. Unfortunately the bill was not in Court, but it had been set forth in the declaration. and the defendant, by not pleading, had admitted his liability. The Learned JUDGE said, perhaps that rule had been laid d own, b ut it would be much more satisfactory to the jury for the bill to be produced, and it had better be sent for. Mr. KEYSER said he was afraid it had been mislaid, and it was only incurring extra expense to make an affidavit. The attorney said no doubt the bill would be found before execution issued. It was a bill payable by instal• ments, and there was only one instalment due. The Learned JUDGE said that he would let the case go to the jury, but the bill must be produced be!ore taxing costs. The attorney said they might never find it, but an affidavit sh ou ld b e made. - The Learned JUDGE then addressed the jury, and said that in all cases he wished the bill produced for the s ttisfaction of the jury, though as the defendant had no' pleided, there was no immediate necessity for the pro duction. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. NIPROVEMENTS ON THE NORTII WESTERN AT CAMDEN TOWN. —Th e improvements at t h e C a mden station of the North Western Railway a re rapidly pro gressing toward s completion, althou , :h many months must elapse, in c onsequence of their g i gant i c c h ara cter. before such will b e th e case. The grou nd occupied (and upon which buildi ngs f or the goods departmen t of the railway are being erected) as the stat i on ex t en ds from the Regent's Can a l, an d on the south to t h e Hampstead road bridge to Ch a lk F arm -lane, a d i stance o f u pwards of a quarter of a mils on the east. The great improve ments are on the west and north sides of the old station. the wall on the former side being entirely removed, and a large portion of the field near the Chalk Farm Tavern brought into use. The bridge over Chalk Farm-lane has also been pulled down, and a temporary one has been erected in its stead. In addition to this, the footpath running by the side of the railway from the lane above mentioned to the tunnel has been blocked up. When seen at night this station, from the immense number of gas lamps—betNeen two hundred and three hundred distributxl about in all directions—has the appearance of a township of large dimensions.
