LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 17. THOMAS V. BLACKMAN.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which came before the Court upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that the proposed purchaser's case had failed on all grounds, and that the appeal must, therefore, be dismissed, with costs. BELL AND OTHERS V. THE EARL OF MEXBORDITGE AND OTHERS. The arguments in this part-heard appeal from the deci sion of the Vice-Chancellor of England, were resumed and concluded to-day. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should carefully con sider the- decisions on this subject in the courts of law, before he gave judgment. Tile case was a most im portant one, i nasm uch as he believed this was the first time this ourt had been called upon to act upon the decisions come to in the courts of law relative to the liability of provisional committee-men to make good the losses of shareholders in bubble railway companies. THE A TTORNEY-GENERAL 79. THE CORPORATION OF NEWCASTLE. Mr. LEIGH applied to the Court t 9 allow this appeal, which stands two out of this day's paper of appeals, to stand over to the first day of appeals after term. The Loan CHANCELLOR was afraid that the result of granting these applications to postpone the hearing of appeals would be, that he should have nothing to on with. Mr. COOPER observed, that his Lordship had got through his appeals with such rapidity, that he was afraid he would not have sufficient to constitute a paper of appeals for to-morrow. The LORD CHANCELLOR ultimately directed that the appeal should stand over to the time asked. ANSLEY V. COTTON. This case came before the court on appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls. The bill was filed by a lady named Sophia Ansley, and her children, against the defendant, the executor of a. lady named Cotton, who by her will left to the plaintiff a sum of 6,0001., and the question in the case was whether under that will the plaintiff was entitled to the amount free of legacy duty. The Master of the Rolls decided that she was, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. Mr. COOPER and Mr. LEWIS were in support of the appeal, and Mr. WOOD and Mr. CRAIG upheld the judgment of the Court below. The LORD CHANCELLOR was clearly of opinion the Master of the Rolls was right., and dismissed the appeal. THE DUKE OF LEEDS V. EARL AHHERST. The remainder of the day was occupied with the ar guments in this case, which came before the Court upon a petition of re-hearing, from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England. The arguments had not concluded when the Court rose. ROLLS' COURT, hoe. 17. PERRY V. MEADOWCROFT. Mr. Turner concluded his arguments, and was fol lowed on the same side by Mr. Hemsley. Mr. WALPOLE replied. At the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's address, His LORDSHIP delivered judgment, in the course of which he went through the facts of the case, and dc aided that the exceptions should be overruled. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 17. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) PARKIN V. BANDERSON.—INJUNCTION. Mr. STUART applied to-day in this case for a special injunction, to restrain the defendants, who are the repre sentatives and the executors de son tort of the late Mr. Sanderson, who carried on au extensive business in Sheffield, from carrying on that business, or collecting in the assets, and also for a receiver. The bill was filed by the creditors, and as it was alleged the present appli catian became necessary to secure the payment of their debts. The COURT granted the injunction. The Court then proceeded to hear demurrers and further directions, none of which contained any points calling. for particular notice. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE.) NA.YLOR V. SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a motion of the plaintiff (Mrs. Naylor), a shareholder in the South Devon Railway Company, for the purpose of determining her right to interest on the call, which she had paid in January, 1845, and which in terest was withheld in consequence of further calls made at the time. The matter turned chiefly on the construc tion of the company's Act, in which there was a provi sion that until the railway should be in operation, the shareholders should be entitled to interest on their shares, &c. &c. _ _ _ The arguments, which were commenced yesterday having concluded, His lioNoun. said the time might come when it would be his duty to refer the question here raised to a court of law, but he much doubted whether it would be right to do so now. In strictness it could not be done. lle would, under all the circumstances, direct that the plain tiff should be at liberty to enter protest on the proceed ings, but should pay the sum demanded, with the it terest, without prejudice. On other points that had been raised he would direct that the motion should stand over fur a week. APPELBY V. PAGE.-IMPORTANT RAILWAY CASE. This case came before the Court upon motion, for an order to inquire into the conduct &c., of the directors of a defunct railway, called the Eastern Count.e , Midland Railway, and for directions respecting a sum of money puid into, and now in the Court, to the credit of the above undertaking. In July, 1845, a project tats formed by the defendants to construct a railway from the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway to North ampton, through Fenny Compton, Stratford-upon-Avon, to Worcester, and to form a direct communication with the eastern and western counties of En land. The capital was to be 500,000/ , to be divided into 60,000 shares, and a deposit of 11. 7s. 6d. per share to be pail. On the 25th of July the undertaking was registered, and the deposit was increased from the original sum of IL 7s. 6d. per share to 21. 12s. 6d. The deposits had been paid on the faith of the whole of the shares having been divided, but it was subsequently discovered that only 35,000 shares had been allotted, and that out of that number but 17,800 were accepted, while the deposits on even some of these had not been paid. The defendants, who were aware of the circum stances of the company, notwithstanding the deficienc) in the capital, still proceeded with the undertaking, in curring all the expenses of survey, &c., and went to Par liament, though quite unable to comply with the stand ing orders for the passing of the line. They applied fur a line from Cambridge to Weedon last session, which passed through the House of Commons, but was rejected in the House of Lords. It was then withdrawn, and the project is now abandoned ; 35,0001. was paid into Court to the credit of the Cambridge and Weedon line. The plaintiff contended that the directors were not justified in prosecuting the undertaking after the failure in complying with the standing orders of the House of Commons, and con,equently they were not entitled to the expenses incurred. The arguments having concluded, His Lior7ourt postponed his judgment. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRA3I.) LEIGH V. EARL BALCARRAS. This cause was put cluwn by mistake for judgraen. to-day. • - DITNCO3IB V. LEVY. This case was ordered to stand over. BLAIR V. BROMLEY. The arguments in this cause were then resumed. The cause was postponed, in consequence of the ab. sence of Mr. Pethell, who was to have replied. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 17. IN RE SIIIITTLEWORTII. Mr. PARRY procieded to raise his objections to the order and certificates, under which this lady was in custody. He contended that the order was invalid, in consequence of there being no statements as to the age of the party, her religious persuasion, the duration of the attack, the nature of the malady, whether suicidal or dangerous to others, and whether the party was subject to epilepsy. Mr. Justice Patteson, in hearing the case on the previous day, gave it as his opinion that the party making the order should at all events have made some return to these inquiries on the order, even if it were only to state that he had no means of ascertaining them. The Legislature had no doubt some important meaning in requiring all these inquiries on the order to be answered, and he (Mr. Parry) contended that the intention was either that the order should be signed by some near friend or relative of the party, or if cir cumstances required that a stranger should sign it, he should at all events make such inquiries as would enable him to make a complete return. With regard to the form of the certificates, be should submit that neither of them came within the meaning of the schedule of the Act. The certificate of Dr. Wilmot, which stated th at be formed his opinion as to the insanity of the lady from the fact " that she laboured under delusions or various kinds, and was dirty and indecent in the extreme," was utterly insufficient. He shbuld have particularised the various delusions, instead of com prising them in one general statement. Upoa the second portion of the certificate, the statement of extreme in decency and dirt, such a fact was quite compatible with perfect sanity. Their LORDSHIPS were of opinion that the last point was a question of medical opinion into which the Court could not enter. Mr. PARRY continued--With respect to the second certificate, he would submit to the Court that it was of no value, as the forms required by the Act had not been complied with. The Legislature had prescribed a printed form, and no surgeon had any right to alter or deviate from that form. In the certificate of Dr. Grif fiths, a pen had been drawn through the words "following fact, and the statement which followed was merely a matter of his opinion, for he said that he judged of the insanity of the lady " from conversation which he had with her." That was no statement of fact as required by the schedule of the Act; and in a former case certifi cates which were much more explicit in their statements of facts, were held to be of no value, and therefore he would submit to the Court that this certificate was in complete, and an insufficient warrant to detain this lady in custody. Mr. Justice Coneeincm said that it seeme d t o b e ad mitted on the return that the lady was insane, and a dangerous person to go at large ; and were they, in eon lun seqaticuen c person upon socaiete of an informlit y? y, to discharge a dangerou s Mr: PARRY apprehended that they must do so if there was DO legal authority to detain her. It h Proved that this lady was insane. h ad no t been Mr. Justice ERLE said it had been placed on the re wen to the writ that she was se; and it ins competent to him (Mr. Parry) to go into that t question. He (11r. Justice Erie) was quite ready to hear that part of the case. It could be - done by affidavit in a summary way. Mr. PARRY thought that a sane person was not com pelled to go such a roundabout way to obtain his liberty, but if he could prove that he was in illegal custody he was at once entitled to his discharge. .. - I.ordDENsiast, in giving judgment, said that there could be no difficulty in this case, fir no doubt was en tertained by the Court. His opinion was formed from the general details of the case, for it was his duty to form his opinion upon such principles, particularly in a case of so much importance, and so entirely exceptional to the course of common legislation. It was plainly clear that there could be no security for the public, and none for the unfortunate persons, the objects for whom the Act of Parliament was framed, unless its provisions were duly administered. This case was a peculiar one. In the former state of things many acts of oppression were perpetrated, under the pretence of lunacy, by parties in terested in confining others, and circumstances of that sort had frequently come before the public. In conse quence of this, the Act 2d and 3d William IV. was framed, but it was not found satisfactory, and a latter Act was passed, which was supposed to be so framed as to prevent all acts of oppression, as extreme care had been taken to prevent any sort of fraud in the operation of such cases, and it gave to these unfortunate parties the greatest protec tion which could be given with any regard to the safety of others; and in fact took care that they could not be injurious to themselves or others. In order to found any psoceedins; or complaint, it was enacted that the party who should proclaim what he believed to be insanity in any individual should issue an order. No person in particular was required to issue that order ; and the necessity of answering the printed questions in the order was merely to show how the lunatic ought to be tr, ated. He thought that in this case nothing could possibly be more proper than the conduct of the clergy man of the parish, for here he found the person in such a state as to give him reason to believe that she ought to be confined. The Act of Parliament is peculiar in its wording, and in the 45th section it said that no person, not a pauper, should be sent to any lunatic asylum, unless under an order containing the forms men tioned in schedule B of the Act. The question was, whether those peculiar forms had been com plied with in this order ; and in his opinion the order was sufficient, for there were some statements expressly answered. The inquiry as to religious per suasion was properly answered, and with regard to the inquiries relative to the previous history of the party, he thought the excuse made was reasonable enough for not giving the particulars required, because if there was a person exercising a control over her, and if there was any reference to be made at all in the matter, it would be that they could not expect that information from a person under the control of another, and disturbed in mind. When that circumstance was alleged by any person or persons as a reason for not answering their queries, he thought that the reason was a good and bona fide one. So much for the order, as to the certificates, the language of the 46th section of the Act was different from the 45th. It provided that every certificate should contain such peculiar forms; but when they saw that the persons called upon to act were persons known to the law as being skilful in this particular disease, there was some reason for not requiring from them the same exact ness which they would require from a stranger, or any layman not acquainted with the question or disease. The first certificate stated that the lady waq of unsound mind, because she laboured under various delusions, and because she was extremely dirty and indecent in her per son. He thought it would be monstrous to require all the peculiarities of these delusions in these cases. There were, unfortunately, many things which were considered delusions, and which were, after all, a mere difference of opinion ; and circumstances of this sort might arise, which now, according to the Act, referred to persons to whom, in the exercise of their skill and opinions, these delusions were perfectly well understood with reference to the nature of the disease ; and the skilful persons who certified as to the existence of delusions did quite sufficient to show that the certificate was a good one. The latter clause of it alone, " that she was dirty and indecent in her person," was sufficient to furnish that opinion ; and the statement of particulars would only be a matter of offence and disgust. The second certifi cate was not so formal; but still it did not follow that the form given in the Act must be implicitly followed. It would have been much better that the form laid down by the Act had been adopted ; but if they found that the certificate given was equivalent, they ought to be satisfied. If the gentleman himself had kept to the printed form it would have been better for all. The statement of the fact that he had had a conversation of three hours' duration, from which he was clearly of opinion that the lady was a person of unsound mind, was perfectly sufficient. He considered that it was the statement of a fact required by the terms of the 46th section of the Act •, and this fact was one on which a skilful person would be enabled to found an opinion. The Act required a definite statement ; and here is a statement made on his reputation. But none of these proceedings were final—they all led to a course of inquiry, solely to protect the person who was the object of it, and the object of these proceedings was to point out the sources from which information was to be derived. The Court was, therefore, of opinion, that the second certificate was in itself good and sufficient ; and he thought himself bound to go further, and to state that it . the Court should be of opinion that on the return the party was still a dangerous lunatic—it would betray its duty to the law and to every member of society if it were to say "Set that person at large." The Court had no power to set that certificate aside. Their only power was to set the party at liberty. Would it be jus tified in letting the party at large, though they might be satisfied that the probability was that there w.tild be danger and mischief to life in such a course? And lie felt• himself bound to say that the liberation of an individual would be an abuse of the very name of liberty, when his liberation would only be hazardous to himself and others, and those who had any interest in the welfare of these unfortunate persons ought to be anxious that the re straint imposed upon them by the Act of Parliament should continue. The other Learned Judges expressed their entire con currence in these observations, and Mrs. Shuttlewurth was remanded back to her original custody. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 17. HUNTINGTON U. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case, which was tried at Warwick, the plaintiff sought to recover compensation for the loss of a quan tity of pearl-shell, which he had forwarded by the Com pany in question. It appeared that, through the negli Bence of the Company's servants, a gross fraud had been committed upon the plaintiff ; the goods had by some means been abstracted, and a quantity of rubbish sub stituted. The jury at the trial found a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. HILL now moved for a rule, calling upon the Master to review his taxation in the cause. The verdict originally returned for the plaintiff was subsequently set aside on the ground that it was contrary to evidence, and a new trial was ordered to be had ; upon this trial fresh counsel were engaged, and a verdict was again returned for the plaintiff. But the Master had only allowed the costs of the second trial ; and the question which was now sought to be referred back to the Master was, whether the costs of the former trial should not be allowed. He contended that unless such a course were adopted, a large and powerful company like the Grand Junction uould be always able to make success too dear, and thus deter parties from suing them, on the ground that they had better lose 201. than go to law. The LORD CHIEF BARON—That is merely reading you a practical lesson, Mr. Hill. Mr. HILL—I always understood that the successful party had their costs. The LORD CHIEF BARON—Not always. Mr. HlLL—Then I suppose it is a mere fiction that the losing party pays the costs. The Loup CHIEF BARON—That may be so. Mr. HlLL—Then I contend, my Lord, that, although . it may be law, it.is riot justice ; and the result of such a course will be, to enable the rich to say to the poor— " Although we have committed an act of injustice towards you, you had better not go to law with us, for you will have to pay the costs." Mr. Baron ALDERSON—There will always be difficul :ies connected with going to law. After considerable argument, the Court refused to grant the rule.—Rule refused. PETERS V. DOBSON. In this action, which was tried at Guildhall last 'aura of the defendant from custody, on the ground that he had been committed under an erroneous construction of the Bankruptcy Act. The prisoner, a bankrupt, had obtained his certificate, but a judgment against him having previously been obtained in the Court of Queen's Bench, on Saturday last, an application was made to Mr. Justice Erle by the plaintiff; founded on affidavits, setting forth that the bankrupt had been in the habit of gambling, by which he had got into his difficulties, and praying that under the circumstances the Learned Judge might order his committal He was in con sequence ordered into custody, as it was alleged the cer tificate of bankruptcy did not bar the authority of the Court, The present application was on two grounds— first, that the judge had mistaken the true construction of the Act; and, second, that the defendant was prepared by affidavits to deny the charge of gambling. The COURT thought it was a very proper question for consideration, and would grant the rule nisi. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 17. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) day, before the Sheriff of London, the plaintiff sought to recover the sum of 101. 17s. 6d. for goods sold and de- Itvered. The deli ndant pleadel that the goods were not according to order, that the credit had not expired upon which the goods were sold, and lastly, non acceptance of the goods under the statute of frauds. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff, with leave to enter a nonsuit, or to move for a new trial. Mr. PRENTICE accordingly now moved for leave to enter a nonsuit upon the first of the grounds above named. It appeared from the evidence given on the trial that the plaintiff's traveller called upon the de fendant, and asked for an order for some goods, after a short time defendant gave him an order, and some goods were sent the same evening. Defendant looked at. them, and considering them not of the same quality as ordered by him, re t urne d them to the plaintiff before twelve o'clock on the next day, and upon the same evening they were again brought back to the house of the defendant ; upon their arrival the defendant said he would have no thing to do with, them, and threw them out into the street, where they were picked up by a policeman and conveyed by him to the station-house, where they still remained. Upon those grounds, 'it was now contended that this did not amount to an acceptance of the goods under the statute of frauds. Upon the other grounds KING V. DAVIS. This defendant was a milkman, in Crown-street, St. Giles's, and was summoned under the Small Debts Act, to show cause why he did not pay the sum of 31. Is. debts, and 4/. 18s. 3d. costs. was contended that the verdict was against eriiience. - • • The COURT—Take a rule to show cause. The Court having disposed of a number of unimportant motions, proceeded with the cases set down on the new trial paper. The first case taken was that of PITT AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES, U. CLEGG AND EXECUTORS. This was a case tried at Chester at the last assizes. before Mr. Justice Williams. It was now sought to set aside the verdict then entered for the plaintiff: The point raised for the consideration of the Court was one of considerable importance, viz., whether the liability of a banker to pay the money deposited with him by his customers, after the expiration of six years, was at all affected by the statute of limitations. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. WELSBY were heard at great length for the defendant, and contended that the relation between the banker and the depositor was simply that of debtor and creditor, and that the obligation of the banker to honour the cheques of the depositor was simply a long-established and general usage, but that such usage did not at all, affect their respective relations to each other. Mr. Chiltern, Mr. Townsend, and. Mr. Egerton were defendant could co ßT u t l o d ok n t o i ad the statute o f heard ef upon the oppo s it e side , . and contend e d th a t t h e Limitations. meP°tosscibonlysidPerle. Mr. T. B. HUGHES appeared as counsel for the de fendant, and said that this was the second time that the defendant had been summoned. In the first case he was summoned as David Davis, in which name judgment had been issued against him ; he was now summoned as Daniel Davis. This was evidently wrong, and he had to submit that the Learned Commissioner had no power to act on a summons clearly issued against a party not on the record or judgment paper. . . The Learned ii l olWmissuiNl u said that the defendant had appeared and admitted himself to be the party, and therefore he thought that he was empowered under the words of the Act " to summon and examine such person indebted." Mr. HUGHES said, that if his Honour considered the position of. the Sheriff in such a case, it would probably determine his opinion, it was clear that no Sheriff would levy on the goods of David, the execution being against those of Daniel. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he should try the question by making an order. Mr. HUGHES said the Sheriff would levy at his peril. The defendant was willing to pay the debt, but would not pay the costs of an action which had been continued for the sake of costs, after information had been given of the error. The Learned COMMISSIONER considered this a fair offer, and, as it was rejected, refused to make any order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Elizabeth Wood, the wife of Benjamin Wood, a City policeman, was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, upon the charge of having wounded her husband, with intent to kill and murder him. Benjamin Wood, who had been in St. Thomas's Hos pital in consequence of a wound inflicted upon him up wards of a month ago, stated that on the 14th of Octo ber he was living with his wife in Talbot -street, Grace church-street; that at a quarter past one o'clock he had his uniform on, and was ready to go on duty, and lie complained to his wife about his dinner not being ready. They had a few words about it, and he put on his hat to go out, and as he was going towards the door, she threw a knife at him, which struck him in the throat, but he did not think she threw it at him intentionally to wound him. He then felt the blood running down, and it was streaming about the floor ; and he ran down stairs to Dr. Smith's, and was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he had been ever since. He did not recollect that he had made use of any threat towards her. He thought she had sat down to her dinner, and he thought she had the knife in her hand at the time. He did not think she had pieked it up purposely to throw at him. The prisoner—My Lord, he took up his truncheon to strike me with it. All the rest he has said is the truth. I never meant to hurt him. The witness said, in answer to a question from the Lord Mayor, that he did not recollect whether or not he had his truncheon in his hand at the time, unless he was in the act of putting it in his pocket. Mr. F. L. Clarke, assistant-surgeon at St. Thomas's Hospital, said that he went to Wood, who, upon being brought into the hospital, was attended by Mr. Solly, who was endeavouring to secure the bleeding vessel, having slightly enlarged the wound for that purpose. Wood was bleeding profusely from the wound, which was on the left side of the neck. The branches of the carotid artery had been severed, and Mr. Solley suc ceeded in repressing the bleeding, by pressing his finger into the wound, and, as the only alternative, Mr. Solley asked him to cut down upon the carotid artery, and pass a ligature round it, as it was evident, if that were not accomplished, the man could not have survived more than two or three minutes. Witness effected that operation by making a distinct wound down the neck, and the bleeding instantly ceased. Since that time the wound had progressed favourably, but until the wound had in a great measure closed, the patient was in danger. John Davis, a City policeman, stated that after Wo , d had been taken to the hospital, he saw the prisoner, who stated to him, that while they were at dinner, they had a quarrel ; that he threatened to knock her down, and that she threw a knite at him which she had in lit r hand ; that as he was stooping down to - pick it up, she saw the blood running from his neck, and she halloed out " Murtler." The LORD MAYOR told the prisoner she might say what she pl'ased in her defence. The prisoner said—My Lord, I never intended to do him any harm. The reason why dinner was not quite ready, which made him angry, was that I had taken my work home to Fish street-hill, and I had to wait till the lady gave me more. I then went home, and it wanted a qu trter to one. Wood had all his clothes on, and I laid the cloth before I went out, and he was angry with me fur being so long, and began to swear at me. Ile stood by the table with his truncheon on the table. I sat down and cut his and my own dinner, and took the knife in my hand to begin my dinner, and he swore that he wo ,ld knock my head with the truncheon, making use of an oath. He had his hand up with the truncheon; and I said, if you attempt to strike me, I'll throw this knife at you. I thought he intended striking me, and I thought I saw the truncheon coming down with his hand. I had no intention of striking him with the knife, nor did I know I had done so until I saw him stoop ; I saw the blood, and I was frightened, and I hallood out " Murder." Ile told me not to hallo, and he put his hand up as well as one of mine, and a man and woman came up, and took the truncheon from his hand as he stood bleeding.. I never intended to do it, I'm sure. The Loan 111AYOR—Prisoner, you have got yourself by your passionate temper into very serious trouble. It is my duty to commit you for trial. You can represent those things which you have stated to me upon your trial, but you stand committed for having made the as sault with the intent to commit murder. The prisoner again solemnly declared that she never had a thought of injuring her husband, and handed in several letters, which she said she had received from her husband since the melancholy occurrence. She was then committed fur trial. GUILDHALL. Two persons who had been masquerading in female attire were brought before Mr. Alderman Musgrove, charged with stealing a pin fr om F re d er i c k N ew h nrst, of Nwcastle-street, Strand. One of them appeared at the bar in walking costume, the other had thrown away the false curls, and torn up the bonnet and dress, and appeared in a shirt ; but he had still the shawl to pro tect him from the cold, and from the waist he was still clothed like a• woman.. Amongst the articles they had Mt off in the cell were a pair of stays and two napkins. Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE required the prisoners to give their real names. The one who still wore the complete dress, and who gave the name of Emma Anderson at the station, now said his proper name was John Anderson, and Jane Wil son became Edward Sullivan. The latter was recognised as a strolling tumbler. Templeman, a City policeman, stated that he saw the two prisoners standing on Holborn-hill with a gentleman abut half-past twelve o'clock on Sunday night. After walking a few yards up the hill, Sullivan stopped for a couple of minutes, and then overtook his companion again. They immediately left the gentleman, crossed the street, and turned up Shoe-lane. From their leaving the street he suspected they had robbed the gentleman. In a few momenta a constable came up with the gentle-. man, and said he had been robbed of a pin, and the pri soners were overtaken in Shoe-lane. The pin was not found. One of them wore silk stockings, and had very long back !lain; and, their true sex not being suspected, a woman wss directed to search them thoroughly. The searcher very soon cried out—" Officer ! come in ; they are both men !" and she was relieved from further trouble. The gentleman did not appear that morning to support his charge. Mr. Alderman WILsoN (who was also on the bench) asked how Sullivan's dress was torn so much ? The officer said the prisoner had done it himself. He was now ashamed to be dressed as a woman. Mr. Alderman MusattovE asked the prisoners why they had assumed this disguise ? Anderson, who has rather a feminine voice, said it was altogether a false charge preferred by the gentleman, because, knowing they were not women, they would nut let him pull them about. They dressed as women by way of a joke, to prove that they would dare to walk to the Angel at Is lington in that dress. They had been as far as that place, and were returning, without speaking:to any one, when seenhad them Alderman or b e t u h s e a r a o o the gentl eman accosted them. fvEtheamskiend w if om an e y n, o s f c t l h o e th e p s ol b i e ce . fore ? George Ham, a policeman, said he had seen An derson walking up and down his beat, in St. Martin's le-Grand, three or four times during the last three weeks. Ile always wore the veil, and was always alone. Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE expected to hear such in formation.' The training of Anderson's hair was not a momentary act. He should be happy to be convinced the whole thing was a joke, but he was apprehensive that they really intended to lure men to their haunts, under the pretence of being women, for some dreadful purpose. Such gross outrages upon the public decency and feeling must be checked in !inane, and he should remand them till Friday, that the police might make a full inquiry into their past lives and habits. They were conveyed to gaol in a cab amidst the jeers of the crowd. BOW-STREET. Daniel Davis was placid at the bar charged with causing the death of Mark Colville, by carelesslrdriving. The deceased was a porter in Hungerford market, and it appeared that on Friday evening last, he was crossins. Whitehall-place with a load on his back, when the pri soner, who w as driving a ginger beer cart in Whitehall, suddenly turning knocked him down, and the wheels passed over i tlis head. Ho died since of the injuries, end COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov 17. CLARK S v, SMITH. Mr. WATSO.I moved for a rule uisi for,tlae discharge THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY MORNING : NOVEMi3ER is. 1846._ the prisoner had been remanded from Saturday Io await the result of the coroner's inquest. An inspector of police now informed the magistrate that the coroner's jury had returned a verdict of Acci dental death, the evidence in favour of the prisoner having satisfied them that he was not at all to blame. He was accordingly discharged ; but before leaving the Court, he requested the magistrate would accept from him a sovereign to be applied at his worship's discretion for the use of the unfortunate man's widow. Mr. JARDINE considered the considerate conduct of Davis highly creditable to him, and he (Mr. Jardine) would willingly take charge of his bounty, and see that it was properly applied. He would not allow the woman to receive the money in one sum at once, but would give it her as she wanted it. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. David Clary was charged with an assault upon an old woman, and also upon the police. Betty Martin, the complainant, who lives in Seven Dials, said the defendant was a lodger at her house. On Monday night there had been some riot on the Dials, in which the prisoner took part. The complainant went up to him, and asked, " what is the matter ?" She said to him, " you know best," and without another ob servation on either side, the defendant kicked her vio lently in the abdomen, and attempted to repeat the assault. Police-constable Bi, said he attempted to take the pri soner, who said he was sorry he had not killed the old woman. He resisted, and struck police-constable 95 a severe blow in the face with his left fist ; he struggled and kicked, and swore he would yet give 95 a b----y stick, which would stop his breath. The witness said the prisoner had a check-lock key on his finger, and pointed out from his closed fist at the time he struck the constable 95, which, if it had struck him in the eye, as the defendant evidently intended, it would have deprived him of the use of it for life. Police-constable 95 corroborated this witness. delt ndant or those connected either professionally or otherwise with him. I felt it to be my duty to Mr. Haw, believing him to be a respectable member of the profession, and notwithstanding what had occurred at his office with reference to myself, to call upon him this morning, and, in an interview which I had with him, to ten him that I should come to this court aid acquaint you, Sir, with what has transpired. I invited him to meet me here, and hope he is here. Mr. BURRELL—It don't appear that he is present. I do not conceive that I ought to feel any difficulty,under the circumstances, in granting you a fresh summons whenever you may apply for it. I cannot promise beforehand, because I cannot say what may be alleged on the other side. _ _ Mr. Wooffe - rePeated that he pledged his professional reputation for the truth of his assertion. Mr. BURRELL—I have not the slightest inclination, I assure you, for a moment to question your veracity. INCENDIARY FIRE. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY. A very extensive fire was discovered on Sunday night in Friar-lane Chapel, in this town, which is evidently the work of an incendiary. About eleven o'clock Mr. Hebb, hair-dresser, of Swinton, adjoining this town, was on his way home, and on passing the chapel he perceived volumes of smoke coming out of the windows ; he cried out, " Fire," and a policeman being near, a closer in spection was made, and on looking through the windows the pulpit was found to be in flames. A messenger went with all speed to the watchhouse, and in a few minutes Meldrum, Truman, and the firemen, with an engine, were upon the spot, and drawing a fire-plug in the street, the engine was in play in five minutes after their arrival. In an hour the flames were subdued, and the interior of the chapel being entered by means of breaking open the large front door, the pulpit was found to be entirely de stroyed, the gallery and organ extensively burnt, and the wood floor on which the pulpit stood, the reading desk, and several pews altogether destroyed and reduced to ashes. The firemen remained in the chapel inspect ing all its parts, to discover, if possible, the cause of this disaster, supposing all to be safe, when at a quarter before three, a second fire broke out in a pew in the north-west corner of the chapel, which had evidently been smouldering fot hours, the articles burning not being of a very combustible nature. This part was oc cupied by Mr. Cripps, who was elected mayor a week ago,-and had cushions on the seats covered with crimson velvet, stuffed with wool, and there had been placed in one corner a cushion, brought from the reading desk in an ignited state, on which was placed a boss or two, no doubt under the expectation that these would fire and communicate with the woodwork, and so set the whole chapel in a blaze. This second fire, however, was disco vered, and put out before much mischief had been done in this part of the building. In an hour after the alarm had been given, the mayor, being acquainted with the circumstance, was on the spot, where he remained, and a most searching inquiry took place as to the cause of this work of destruction. It was discovered that the vestry had been ransacked, nearly a bottle of wine in a cupboard had been drunk, a cash-box broken open, and the vestry door left wide open. Against an outer door, leading to the street, which was locked, a chair had been placed, and feet marks upon the wall and on the top of the door were seen, proving the way taken by the party doing the mischief to make his escape ; in short, the whole of the circumstances proved that the fire had been the work of an incendiary. The chapel was at tended very fully last night, to hear the regularly ap pointed minister, the Rev. Joseph Gilbert, who has for may years been the pastor of the congregation of Inde pendents assembling in that place, and the lights were put out, and the building left safe at nine o'clock. The building is very handsome, erected at great cost, and had a fire toned organ in it, which is seriously injured. What amount of damage has been done cannot yet be properly estimated ; it must, however, take several hun , dred pounds to repair the mischief. The greatest indig nation is expressed against the author of so diabolical an act, but no cause can be assigned, as both the minister and the mayor are very highly and universally respected. Mr. Bowman, spirit-merchant, and others, on the fire being discovered, assisted in removing Mr. Wiggerton's valuable horses and carriages, which were close to the chapel, and much other property liable to be destroyed had the flames got the mastery. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. LONG said he would send him for one month to the House of Correction for the assault on the police, and he would fine him W. for the brutal assault on the old woman, which he must pay, or go to the House of Correction for two months. CLERKENWELL. A fashionably-dressed young man, who said his name ivas Jeffs, but refused to give any address, was brought before Mr. Combe, in company with a filthy-looking old Irish basket-woman, under the following rather ludicrous circumstances:— LATEST Iti BANKS, ASS' Constable 22 N, slid, that on Monday night he saw a very elegant, dashing-looking cabriolet and horse standing opposite the Peacock Tavern, Islington, and the female prisoner seated in it, with her market basket and porter's knot beside her. She was very drunk, and was shouting out at the top of her voice that she kn e w she was b o rn to the height of good luck, for sure now she had got her carriage to ride in. N 22, however, soon dispelled the dream, by handing her as gently out of the vehicle zs circumstances permitted, and lodging her for the night at her Majesty's expense. The horse and cab were taken to the green yard, and in about half-an-hour after wards the male prisoner was discovered stupidly drunk near Islington Church, when he was also taken to the station-house. Frc ÜBLISITED EVERT LONDON OXINT' When both the prisoners were placed side by side in the dock in the morning, Mr. Jeffs seemed not to relish the propinquity of his fair companion so much as he did on Monday night, when he took her for an airing all round Islington. The female was discharged, and Mr. Jeffs had to pay the usual fine for being drunk. Owing to the information received by Mr. Greenwood on Monday night from the police, relative to the state of the unfortunate woman, Mrs. Haines, for an attempt on whose life a man, named Henry Wilmot, was examined at this office, the worthy Magistrate considered it to be his duty to take the woman's deposition as soon as possible, and accordingly, accompanied by Mr. Mallett, the chief clerk, he proceeded to the hospital for that purpose. The prisoner Wilmot was also present during the taking of the deposition. IMPORTATIONS OF PROVISIONS FROM IRELAND. The importations of provisions into the port of Liver pool from the Irish ports during the week from the 30th ult. to the sth inst. inclusive, comprised the following list of articles :-10,179 firkins, 300 half-firkins, 1,078 baskets, casks, &c., and 323 boxes of butter; 312 sacks and 602 barrels of wheat, 1,952 sacks of flour; 196 sacks, SOO qrs., and 2,256 barrels of oats ; 21 tons weight, 399 sacks, and 4:30 packages of oatmeal ; 50 barrels of barley, 72 sacks of malt, 512 boxes and tierces and 35 other packages of linens and cottons ; 50 tons weight and 347 bags of meal, 11 bags and 6 casks of seed; 317 kegs and 8 casks of lard; 44 bags of feathers ; 259 barrels, 24 kegs, 42 firkins and 10 other packages of pork ; 13 packages of general provisions ; 11 packages of hams, 142 casks of whisky, and 332 bales of bacon. The arrivals at the port of Bristol in the same period comprised 110 cwt. and 14 casks of oatmeal, 4,271 barrels and 300 sacks of oats, 175 hampers of bacon, 1,624 packages of butter, 24 of pollard, 137 kegs of lard, 64 barrels and 72 other packages of barley, 66 of pork, and various other articles ; and, according to a second return from the same port, of the arrivals from Ireland up to the sth instant, 646 barrels of barley, 700 firkins of butter, 445 bales of bacon, 120 kegs of lard, 35 tierces and 39 bar rels of pork, 50 sacks and 150 barrels of oats, 26 casks of whisk, 31 firkins and casks of lard, several packages of hams and other articles, which do not require to be more particularly specified. The importation of similar articles 6f supply into the British metropolis from the sister island, up to the latest authentic and current returns, consisted of the subjoined list in a compen dious form, which includes the supplies at this port from the quarter mentioned, from the 30th ult, to the 10th inst., inclusive :-3,457 quarters and 888 barrels of oats, 1,000 barrels of barley, 4,597 tierces and hampers of bacon, 29,526 packages (of various ki,.ds) of butter. 703 tierces and other packages of lard, 148 bales of linens, 49 packages of hams, 1,498 packages of pork, 33 of waste, 197 of middles, 229 of paper, 123 of whisky, 1,800 boxes of soap, 737 packages of general privisions. 361 casks of porter, 60 packages of malt, 24 of Farina en., 1,294 boxes and other packages of eggs, 24 of tongues, 104 of beef, 40 of lemons, some of portable soup, 46 pigs, 41 head of horned cattle, 138 sheep, 107 of general merchandise, and a variety of other articles, of too varied and general a character to be more specifically enumerated. In giving this list of arrivals at the ports of London,, Liverpool, and Bristol, from Ireland, which are of especial interest, and of equal im portance at the present time, we forbear to advance any concluding remarks, further than that the supply of butter has been of an unusually extensive nature, whilst that of other descriptions of provisions have far exceeded the usual average arrivals from that country. TENACITY OF ORGANIC LIFE IN AN ALLIGATOR. —Some weeks previous to the period of which I am now speaking, a solitary alligator had made his appeare ace in Galveston Bay, nearly opposite the doctor's house, and had been so far petted by the men, who threw him waste fish, as to have se cured, apparently, his residence in that quarter. Feeling anxious to obtain the skin of one of these reptiles, I one day went out to shoot him, if possible, having loaded my gun with ball instead of shot. At about fifty yards distance I got five discharges at the mark formed by his eye, which just rose above the sea sufficiently to enable him to look along the sur face. The visible portion was not larger than the centre of a target, and, as my fowling piece was not adapted fur ball, it is no marvel that so small a mark was missed. When the ball passed within an inch or two above his eye, he took no notice ; when it hit his head or body, he merely sank fur a few minutes, and came up again as coolly as ever. At length the doctor brought down one of Colt's six-chambered rifles, and, at the second shot, hit him. I sent a man into the water to fetch him out, when it was found that half the upper part of his bead was carried away, leaving the brain bare. Still, his muscular power was excessively strong, and rendered it no easy task to meddle with him. Under the se circumstances, as well as in order to free the creature from pain, I cut the head quite off, and pro ceeded to skin the carcass. This operation lasted nearly five hours, and even when, after that lapse of time, I threw the remains into the sea, the vitality had by no means ceased. This amazing tenacity of life conld never have been believed unless it was seen ; but, of course, all sensation must have ceased when the decapitation was effected. The skin of an alligator will not strip off like that of any ordinary animal, as the hard, tendinous flesh grows into it, and thus renders the operation of separating the two both difficult and tedious.—Simmons's Colonial Magazine. THE LATE FATAL OCCURRENCE ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN iZAILWAY.—On Monday even ing, Mr. G. I. Mills resumed the inquest on the body of Enos Lea, aged 29, a porter in the employ of Messrs. Thomas Stricland and Co., railway carriers, who was killed by being jammed between the buffer of some lug gage trucks at the Camden-town station of the above rail way, on the morning of Friday last. The inquiry wa s adjourned on account of neglect being imputed either to the police on duty, or to the engine -driver of the train. From the additional evidence adduced, it was shown that the luggage train, which ought to have left Birmingham at nine o'clock on Thursday evening, did not do so until an hour after, and its time of arrival at the Camden , town station is three in the morning; but on Friday last it eid not arrive until forty minutes after seven, up wards of four hours and three-quarters after its proper time. Shortly after its arrival, while the deceased was engaged in moving a truck from the turn table to the weigh bridge, the signal was given to the engine driver to close the buffers, for the purpose of slacking the coupling chains, and in doing so deceased was crushed between the buffer of the truck he was moving and the one next to it, and was killed almost instantly. The jury returned the following verdict :—" That Enos Lea was crushed to death betwe en the buffers of two trucks on the London and North-Western Railway, im pelled by a certain locomotive engine which had brought the train of 54 carriages, on the previous night, from Birmingham; that such train being four hours and three quarters behind its time, coupled with the fact that there was a disregard of signals, was the main cause of the occurrence; and the jury cannot but express their sense of the danger which must always result from such neglect of time signals." The Deputy-Coroner having expressed a hope that so powerful and wealthy a company would for the future pay attention to these two essentials in railway management, the proceedings ter minated, after lasting nearly three hours. The remains of the late Colonel Spottiswoode, of Spottiswoode, were interred in the family vault, at Cold stream, on Friday, having been removed thither from Torquay. Sir Robert Peel is recovering from a severe attack , of gout. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. Henry William Wilson, landlord of the De Beau voir Arms Tavern, Kingsland, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, on the charge of furious driving, and assaulting the police when they attempted to se sure him. The case was clearly proved ; and, it appeared, that when a policeman attempted to secure the prisoner, the latter dashed him back against a lamppost, and being grappled with, both fell heavily upon the pavement. The prisoner then forced his knuckles beneath the police man's stock, and held him so tightly that he was almost strangled, but, with the assistance of several other con stables, the prisoner was ultimately overpowered, and conveyed to the station. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he had been dining with some friends, and was quite uncon scious of having committed himself in the manner de scribed by the witness. Mr. BINGHAM said, that he made it an invariable rule, when persons in affluent circumstances were brought before him for the commission of outrages of this de scription, to commit them at once to prison without the imposition of any pecuniary penalty, which would, in fact, merely amouct to a nominal punishment ; and, as he saw no reason whatever to depart from that course on the present occasion, he should convict the prisoner of the assault upon the constable, and sentence him to be committed therefore to the House of Correction for the term of seven days. In the course of the afternoon three solicitors attended in C-urt in succession, by two of whom an earn- st ap peal was made to the Magistrate on behalf of the pri soner, to procure a remission of the judgment, and the imposition of a fine instead, but Mr. Bingham was in• exorable, and the prisoner was conveyed to his desti nation. SOUTHWARK. James Levy, a Jew, was charged with illegally retain ing posses-ion of a watch the property of a Mrs. Chapman. It appeared that the complainant being in want of a key for her watch, applied to the prisoner, who was a jeweller, for one. Ile said he could not get one to fit the watch unless she left it with him for the purpose. She accordingly handed over the watch to make the key from, and it was to be returned at a specified time. The prisoner, however, never returned the watch. In defence the prisoner admitted he had pledged the watch and sold the ticket. He was therefore adjudged to pay 51. 55., the value of the watch, besides a fine of 21., aid in default of payment he was committed to the House of Correction for three months. IV ES MUNSTER. In the course of Monday afternoon Mr. Woolfe at tended at this Court, and, addressing Mr. Burrell, the presiding magistrate, said—" You will remember, Sir, that on the 4th instant I made an application to you on behalf of a young woman, for a summons again.t the lion. Mr. Grantley Berkeley. as the putative father of a male bastard child, and which application you were pleased to grant. In the information then exhibited the summons is made returnable on Wednesday next. Upon reference to the Bastardy Act, I find that the complaint must be made and determined within forty days, and that six days must intervene between the ser vice of the summons and the hearing of the complaint. Now, Sir, in corsequeace of the continued absence of the defendant from town, the course of proceeding has been materially obstructed, as the frienda of the woman who is my client, though very respectable persons, are not in the most affluent circumstances, and some diffi *ilties have therefore necessarily arisen in the execution of the process. Since I made my original application to you in this case some very extraordinary proceedings have taken place. A few days after the granting of the summons I accidentally met a gentleman, who is, as I believe, the managing clerk of Mr. Raw, a solicitor of Furnival's Inn, who is acting as the agent, as I under stand, to the private solicitor of Mr. Grantley Berkeley. That gentleman said he wished to speak with me upon the subject-matter of this case, and, after a few words, appointed to see me at eleven the next morning, at the office in Hatton-garden, but never kept the appointment. On the 10th instant, however, my client, without any intimation having been made to me previously, received the following letter:— " 5, Furnival's Inn, Nov. 10. " Mr. Raw will thank Miss Lait to call at his office to morrow,• or some other early day." Mr. Woolfe continued—My client went as requested, when the clerk to Mr. Raw, after endeavouring to traduce me by means of an anonymous letter, made her an offer of 201., and the law charges, if she would effect an arrangement ; which offer she indignantly declined. I must confess, that, considering the position Mr. Grantley Berkeley holds in society, I cannot but express my:surprise, that if he be not guilty of this imputation he does not at once come forward and repudiate it. I have been induced to wait upon you to-day to explain the difficulties under which I am labouring ; and, as the time within which the summons should have been served has expired, you will, I apprehend, have no ob jection to grant m e anot h er. I a l so b eg to h an d y o u, Sir, this extraordinary epistle upon the subject, which I tound on my desk late on Saturday last : (Confidential.) " Dear Sir,—lana requested to inquire whether the father of Matilda Lait would bring an action for seduc tion provided that sufficient funds were furnished for that purpose. Of course kcannot say, at present, who would be retained as solicitor in the action, as I am not in structed on that point, but I must beg the favour of your immediate reply. To which I sent the following r s r , e & p c i y . n S g ir e , r — w l ri m ti u n s g t m e confess sue h I —•" " Miss Lait an d M r. G rant l ey B e rkeley. stxa ‘ awlaesttveerryasmuthcahtswurhpierhisethaatvae just received from you. I presume that you are not aware that an insidious and unprofessional interview has been had by Mr. Raw, of Furnival's Inn, or, with his authority, by one of his clerks, with the complainant on this subject. I have but too much reason to believe that an unfair attempt is being made to subvert the true course of justice, and, therefore, without meaning any personal offence to you, you will see how necessary it is to be cautious. It is not because it happens that the defendant is the Hon. Mr. Grantley Berkeley, and the complainant is a roost unfortunate and almost friendless young girl, that therefore her reputation is to be de stro) ed, and herself and child left unprotected and un provided for. It is not fair of you, under the circum stances, to make the inqui r y y ou d o o f me, in your letter, as to ulterior proceedings, and I must therefore decline to answer. I shall take a course which, to a certain ex tent at least, will show what it is my intention to do in ,his matter. I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, " (for Mr. A. Haynes) EDWARD P. WOOLFE, 47, Batton - ga rden.'' Mr.Woolfe said, he was desirous for the present to avoid mention of the name of thegentleman from whom the letter appeared to come, although that was given with the ad dress. The letter was couched in such ambiguous terms that he hardly knew how to interpret its true meaning. Mr. Woolfe continued—l' don't please that either my character or the character and interests of my client should be impaired by the machinations of either the " To Mr. -.

CUMBERLAND.—Meadow Hay, 21 103 to 4/ 2s; Clover ditto, 3153 to 41165; and Straw, 1/ 103 to 1/ 16s per load. A full average supply, and a heavy demand. WHITECIIAML.—Meadow Hay, 218 s to 41; Clover ditto, 3/10s to 5183; and Straw, 1/ 12s toll 16s per load. Both Hay and Straw sold slowly, at the above quotations. (From the London New Price Current of November 17.) SUCAa.—Today there was less desire evinced to operate , in bright grocery and strong refined descriptions of West India Sugar, but the supply at market being small, mer chants were for the most part enabled to obtain prices equal to those of Friday. REFINED.—:-To-day Refined Sugar was in good request for home consumption, and there were not generally sellers of low brown lumps at 62s to 62s 6d, brown grocery 635, and standard lumps at 61s per cwt. The market has decidedly an improving appearance. Mor.AssEs.—There are sellers of all descriptions of West India upon further reduced terms; still the business trans acted has been extremely limited at 21s to 255. Bengal Treacle met with less attention, and previous rates are not obtainable. Mauftmus.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 4,393 bags, and consisted of strong grainy kinds, but there was not much desire to operate, and merchants were compelled to reduce their prices is per cwt. to dispose of the whole. EnsT Mara.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 2,093 bags, were offered at public sale; the chief part consisted of strong yellow sorts like Mauritius, and was taken in at stiff rates. Fonmox.— Holders of Foreign Sugar still have confidence, and supply the market sparingly, whilst the deliveries are again larger than the arrivals. The home trade have mani- fested little desire to purchase the brown or inferior qualities, and they are obtainable rather under previous rates. There has been little passing privately in any description for ex portation or refining under bond, but holders are firm, and insist upon fully previous rates; few parcels are on offer. At public sale 625 hhds and 210 brls of Porto Rico were taken in rather above the value. CoFFEE.—To-day there was not much desire manifested to operate in Foreign Coffee. At auction 434 casks 73 bags Cuba were only in part sold at a fall on former rates of 2s to , I:—good middling coloury went at 50s to 58s 6d, middling 43s to 475, low middling 408 6d to 425, fine and fine fine or dinary pale 35s to 41s 6d, good ordinary 3- to 33s 6d, ordi ordinary 30s to 31s, sea damaged 30$ to 35s 6d, pea berry sound 39s 6d to 61s; 172 bags Costa Rica only partly sold— good ordinary foxey 33s to 345; 79 casks Porto Rico taken in—fine ordinary coloury 50s ; 474 bags La Guayra only in part sold—good middling coloury brown 555, brown or dinary 33s Gd to 335, good ordinary 35s to 38s 6d, fine ordinary 40s to 433 Gd, pea berry 40s, sea damaged 21s to 3ls 6d; 225 bags St. Domingo taken in at 33s for fine ordi nary coloury mixed, Ceylon was only in limited demand by private treaty, and 516 bags at auction were taken in at 38s for good ordinary pale, which is the full value, but a few lots of Plantation sold at 69s for good middling coloury, 27a to 35s for triage, and black 10s. ; 426 bags East India sold at 24s 6d to 268 for good and fine Padang, and 21s to 23s fOr sea damaged ; 34 casks Jamaica sold at 245 to 40s 6d, line tine ordinary Ms 6d ; 9 bags Demerara at lls for black; 75 bales Mocha—good middling long bean 62s 6d, triage 28s to 30s, damaged 24s to 525, pea berry 50s 6d. TE&.—The market has still an improving appearance for all descriptions, and there is a less quantity on offer. The low prices—the enormous consumption—the prospect of a reduction being made in the duty, and the heavy losses mer chants are yet sustaining upon the importation, cause the trade to be of opinion that they cannot act unwisely in ge ing well supplied, and these circumstances have induced than ists to make larger investments. Prices are lower e_ to th6eyd were at this time in 1845 by id to 4d for Congou. 4d for Twankay, 2d to 6d for 'Tyson, and 4 d to 8 d for Imperial and Gunpowder. SPlCES.—Prices are still rising for Nutmegs, hiedy having been active by private contract, h h e um d e e m c a e n u d_ t h 3 m r a o e r e e con sumption.

Demerara is held with firmness. There has been a good demand for Leeward Island, and the rates paid have been fully equal to those previously current. There has been much in quiry after East India, and stiff rates offered, but the supply has become small. In the Brandy market there has not been so much activity, and prices are looking down for the older s orts, but young kinds bring full rates ; Geneva has been less in demand , and prices are not so firm. For British Spirits the demand is yet active. Ong.—lmporters of Olive Oil manifest firmness. There are free sellers of Linseed Oil in conse quence of the increasing supply, but a good demand ha s b e en experienced from the home trade. Prices are 9d to is above th94o 91 lmt year.
