This was an action brought under a covenant to re cover a sum of money from one of the' co-sureties of au annuitant. The defendant pleaded that at the time the action was brought he was under the protection of the Bankruptcy Act, having received a protection littler its provisions, and that ho had received a release from his obligation under the covenant, from the other co• trustee. To these pleas the plaintiff demurred. Mr. Sergeant Jones was heard against the demurrer, and Mr. Sergeant Channel for the plaintiff. The argument turned on the construction of the Bankruptcy Act, and whether or not the amended statute Bth and 9th Victoria was retrospective in its operation. The CounT held that the statute Bth and 9th Victoria was not retrospective, and that defendant's plea was bad in this respect ; also that the plea was detective in not, setting forth whether the defendant had received his dis charge from the Bankruptcy Court at the time when the action was brought. Judgment therefore•was given for the plaintiff. SECONDARIES'.--(THIS DAY.). (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) RYLAND V. THE EASTERN COITNTJES RAILWAY. This was an action brought by Mr. Ryland, one of the City Pleaders, against the above company', for da mages for injuries received by an accident on the rail way. The case was the first on the list, but the solicitor for the coMpany applied for a postponement of the case till twelve' o'clock. The SECONDARY said the difficulty was, that a special jury . had been summoned, and it would be a great incon venience to them. The application was ultimately agreed to. At one o'clock the record, however, was subsequently withdrawn. The damages were laid at 1,0001., and it is understood the affair - was compromised for 1001. THE ANNUALS. FISHER'S DRAWING-ROOM SCRAP-BOOK for 1847. Edited by the lion. Mrs. Norton. Well do the "highly-finished" engravings, gorgeous binding, and elegant appearance of this beautifu I volume prove its right to its aristocratic appellation. Yet it has other and far higher qualitities than that appellation might be supposed to imply. In its way , it may serve as a not insignificant "s i g n of the times,'' as an evidence of the new sentiments and opinions which now find entrance into the most refined, and, hitherto exclusive regions. Very. different is the Drawing-room Scrap-book for 1847, from the many various-coloured silken volumes which annually adorned the salons and boudoirs some years since. In place of the fancy portraits of some romantic heroine or the miniature illustrations of some fictitious +tale; in this audacious volume—styling itself par excellence the chosen of the drawing-rooms—we find, as a companion for that of her Majesty, of Prince Albert, and of many a scion of the nobility, a like ness of Mr. Cobden ! While in the verses which ac conipany these and the other illustrations, sentimental " stanzas," and senseless panegyrics have given way to a brilliant variety of lively raillery and caustic sarcasm on fashionable faults and follies, mingled with pure and holy thoughts and high and earnest aspirations for the popular welfare, from the talented grand-daughters of Sheridan. Consequently to assert in 1847 that the Drawing-room Scrap•book is worthy of its name implies that its attractions are of a cha racter totally differept from those which might have obtained for it such a commendation in the" good old times." The thirty-six engravings which adorn this volume are not originals " done for the occasion," but, what is far better, a collection of beautiful subjects, which have already, in various forms, claimed public approbation. They present a pleasing variety of portraits, landscapes, fanciful scenes, and what, for want of a better name, must, we suppose, be denominated, interiors. Of this latter class are some of the most beautiful engravings of the whole collection—representations of the interior of the Chapel of the Virgin in the Abbey Church, St. Denis ; of that of St. Gudule, Brussels; of the Gallery of Henry 11., Fontainbleau, and several other .of a similar kind, from most elaborate drawings by Allom, most admirably engraved. Yet after admir ing these works of art, which commemorate the great achievements of men's bands, it is almost refreshing to turn to others which endeavour (at however great a distance) to portray the infinitely greater works of nature. Among these is a view of the Rhine, with Coblentz and Ehrenbreitstein, the "broad stone of honour." The great charm Of this beautiful picture consists in the sudden effect produced by simply turning over the page which contains it, when, as if by magic, the whole expanse., of country appears spread out before us. Many'd the portraits which adorn this volume—among others those of Sir Robert Sale, of Lord Hardinge, and of .Mr. Villiers—will meet with a cordial welcome. The frontispiece represents the accomplished editress, to whom Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton has addressed some most complimentary lines of exceeding beauty. The likeness of Mr. Cobden, to which we have already alluded, is undoubtedly a correct one, yet it is hardly the Mr. Cobden.rnost femiliar to the great multitude. He does not stand before us with the kindly smile and cheerful air with which he was wont to make dull matters interesting ; his countenance has hardly that look of unwavering confidence and firm conviction so prone to inspire confidence in others. He is repre sented as in deep thought, as we may suppose him to have appeared while the mighty project was forming in his brain, and great facts and immutable truths were presenting themselves before him, to be by lim freed from the errors and prejudices of long years, and reduced to their primitive simplicity. So entirely does the appearance of this portrait carry out this idea, that we may easily suppose, that even while the artist was at his task, the thoughts of his " sitter," forgetful of his situation, were flowing in their habitual channel. The portraits of the Great Free trader, and his brother-in-arms, Mr. Villiers, are both accompanied by suitable poems by Mrs. Norton ; the concluding verse of that one, in honour of Mr. Villiers, is most appropriately addressed to the British public at the present time : " But forget not, in that hour When the strife is all gone by The earnest hearts whose power First led you on to try What the might of gathered multitudes might do. Turn back, and let your cheer Sound gladly in their ear— ' We never should have conquered, but for YOU r " Among the many interesting pictures in this volume, is a portrait of the eldest son of Lord Ashley, appa rently a high-spirited, intelligent child. As the portrait of a child, it will be viewed with interest, and as that of one of the " children of the nobility," it may attract many curious glances from the bright eyes of the drawing—rooms through which the "Scrap Book" is destined to pass. But how earnest and how intense would be the interest it would excite among the inhabitants of the factory regions : how many a mother would turn anxiously to look on the picture, and gratefully to implore blessings on the head of the child of him to whom her own young children are so very much indebted. In addition to numerous poems, varying from " grave to gay, from lively to severe," with which the editress has illustrated many of the engravings, the drawing room scrap-book is rich in poetical attractions. Lady Dufferin has contributed some very sprightly and amusing pieces, one of which suggested by a group of Chinese going out in grand procession to " Meet the Spring," is rendered most effective by the sudden transition from raillery to feeling ; she begins-- " Well! the assurance of some person! Just . conceive so bold a thing, As those horrid Chinese monsters going out to meet the spring," and then proceeding in a lively strain turns the whole ceremony into ridicule. "I have never been to China," she observes, " But I know the sort of place it is—as well as wiser pates — From different ' Works on China,' illustrated with plates." And so on, till after an ironical enumeration of various peculiarities of the country and the ceremony, con cluding— " But enough! 'my soul turn from them!' Let the creatures tako.their fling, Only, don"t join that procession going out to meet the spring !" . She suddenly exclaims, changing her tone and check ing her mirth,— " Oh, thou mocking tongue, be silent 1 Is there so much joy on earth, Thou would'st grudge the simple . pleasures, that in Nature have their birth? Dost thou scorn the meek-eyed people? Dost thou deem that worship wrong,. That would welcome back God's blessings, with a glorious Summer, with its sun shinea, and sweet air, t d he to g n l g o u ri e As a precious gift fr om Heaven to be hailed wi th song and prayer?" That would greet an a ff n M with peculiar e These and many lines d nf rs a . si N m o il r a t r on c , ha a r r a e cte i r n , tr b o o d th ue b e y d Lady Dufferin their that their wit is of that serva tions, and proving, loves to play, not wound." kindly et amid their lighter pieces--ndly feelings of sa th rc e as ir tic hea o rt b s . , ' harmless kind whic h evi:le nei notwithstanding ng-the lines to Mr. have suggested some very encing (though without Monckton Milner, cu very words of Byron acknowledgment), in the "The fountain of Vaucluse and Petrarch's castle," There is a tomb in beautiful Arqua." The enduring . learned compositions, Sonnets as surviving his more is described with forcible simplicity : on the very same subject, celebrity of Petrarch's His un-read wisdom may for ages -seat you see While on the shaded garden hand. That maiden with her sonnets in her " High on the shelves, in dusty dignity,sand; And thus Vaucluse—not Arqua—is The statesman and the scholar are forgot, — ~ Petrarch and Laura rest as household names. e e That Petrarch's memory in full justice spot,la claims; We must not omit calling attention to one among the fancif u l illu s t ra ti ons w hi c h i s en titl e d " Poland," an engravi ng o f s i ngu l ar b eau t y , singularly appro priate to the subject. ' Two beautiful females, one I with an infant in her arms, are kneeling in tears upon the field of recent carnage. Such a scene is peculiar to no country or no per i od—many a similar one might, doubtless, have been witnessed on that dread ful field, where "Freedom shrieked as Kosciusko fell;" and so the picture may be, perhaps, literally correct. But we would rather regard it as a figurative re presentation (however unintentional on the part of pi l n l g e ea b c e h au o ti t f h u e l rs w b o a m nd en s , in bo tb w e ed sad down t w h i e tb de g s r i i g e n f, e c r) las . fel lowship of sorrow, too truly exemplify their unhappy land in the hour of her darkness and desolation ; but in the lovely child, all unconscious of surrounding trouble, playfully clasping the cross which hangs from his mother's neck, as his bright countenance beams with artless joy, we would fain imagine we behold an embodiment of Poland's better genius; though now perchance only in its infancy, weak and powerless, yet clinging resolutely to the emblem of faith, and looking forwards with a smile of hope. We must not close our notice of this truly beautiful book without making mention of an admirable repre sentation of an ancient lady " threading her needle," while, with the assistance of Lady Dufferls, she thus laments the degeneracy of the present thr ies ; , " Ah deary me I what needles ! well really I must say, + All things are sadly altered—(for '- since my day ! ,t,Vlvorse too) The pins have neither heads have no eyes, And 'there's ne'er a pp* fashioned size _nor poiuisLAhe. necks of scissors of the good old, The very bodkins now are made in fine new-fangled ways, And the good old British thimble—is a dream of other days ! Now that comes of machinery !—l'm given to under stand, That great folks turn their noses up, at all things done by hand,' Altho' its easy proving to the most thick-ps,ted dunce, That things ar'n't done the better—for all being done at once. I'm sure I often ponder, with a kind of awful dread On those bold ' spinning jennies,' that go off; of their own head !' Those power-looms and odd machines—those whizzing things with wheels, That ever-more keep moving !'—besides, one really feels So superannuated-like, and laid upon the shelf— When one sees a worsted stocking, get up, and knit itself! Ah ! that comes of those Radicals !—why life's a per fect storm,— _ A whirlwind of inventions ! with their' Progress' and Reform !' The good old days—the quiet times, that calmly used to glide, Are changed into a steeple chase,—a wild 'cross country ride ! A loud view-holloa in our ears—away ! away ! we go ; A-levelling all distinctions, and a-mingling high and low; All spurring'on, with seats so tight, and principles so loose, Whisk I over this old prejudice ! slap-bang 1 thro' that abuse ! No matter why,—no matter where ! without a stop or hitch, And nobody has time to help his neighbour in the ditch ! • And then, what turns and changes ! Good lack ! I'd rather be A joint. stool in a Pantomime,—than some great folks I see ! Because in Pantomimes, a stool may turn to anything. You're not surprised, if chairs step out to dance a Highland fling " A coffee-pot perhaps becomes a mitre by- and by,— And everything is something else—and nobody asks - why ? But there's a rage for questioning, and meddling now a- days ; - And what one does, don't matter half so much as what one says ; And a minister can't change his mind, without such stir and fuss, That one would think the public voice' Was some ' huge omnibus Which takes you to a certain point, whereat you must remain, Until the same old Buss may choose—to take you back again ! For (odd enough), in all this change, they keep some order still, And when they turr,—turn all at once, like soldiers at a drill; But wont allow a public man, a private pirouette, When once his part of Harlequin, or Pantaloon, is set. Ai d that's what makes their Pantomime so dull, and such a bore, That their joint-Stool must still remain—a joint-stool ever more. Now that comes of Newspapers! I know in my yourg days, Least said, and soonest mended,' was a maxim worth 7 praise; But were Ito give counsel to the Public—as a friend, ' Little said—and nothing written,' is the rule I'd re commend. Such snriagphptinl g - u p—and setting down ! R e p or t ers l e ft and All bent on pinning down a man to lie, in black and white! Such raking up of Hansard ! such flinging in one's face, Any little lapsus linguae' that may once have taken place!

THE JUVENILE_ SCRAP BOOK for 1847. Edited by Mrs. Ellis. • The editress of the Juvenile Scrap Book, "believing that her young friends will never find thethselves more happy than when thinking on subjects worthy of thought," has presented them not only with a volume, the numerous illustrations and outward adornments of which render it a desirable gift, but also with one of which, the internal attractions, combining interest with information, are calculated to afford both a profitable and agreeable employment of time. The illustrations are of a varied character. Among the most interesting are a portrait of Pope Gregory XVI.; some children's miniatures, by Sir W. C. Ross ; a Peasant Maid by a Mountain Stream; the Interior of Rutland Cavern, Derbyshire, the rugged and for bidding appearance of which, as made risible by many lamps, is very forcibly portrayed ; an Egyptian Feast, where a human skeleton, more terrible than Banquo's ghost, is seated among the revellers; some fanciful scenes by Allom, one of which, entitled " Evening Hours, represents a domestic group con templating the moonlight on the waters, and is of exceeding beauty, both in execution and design. Mrs. Ellis has taken ;,the beautiful frontispiece as a theme for a little poem, " The Mountain Stream," an imaginary dialogue . between the peasant maid and the streamlet which inculcates the useful lesson of content. " Thoughts for Evening Hours," con tains some interesting information, chiefly concerning the ancient Egyptians, mingled with serious reflec tions of a by no means gloomy c haracter. " Self importance ; or, a Fable of the R o oks," and " Parties of Pleasure," although also tended to coney instruc tion, serve, together with " Aunt Emily's Visit," and other poems, to establish the juvenile title of this volume. By far the most interesting article is that which accompanies the portrait of the Pope, in which Mrs. Ellis gives a very graphic description of St. Peter's Church, and a papal ceremony she herself witnessed there, together with some account of the Etruscan or Gregorian rooms. As will be seen from this brief analysis of its contents, the "Juvenile Scrap- Book" forlB47,Contains much that is worthy of perusal. To those young readers only anxious for a "story -book" we cannot certainly recom mend it, but to those who find pleasure in the acquisition of knowledge it will prove a most welcom e p resent . Th e last pages con tain a beautiful littl e poem " W oman 's lot; in reply to those exquisite, but mourn f u l, verses of Mrs' ~ Hemans. " Her lot is on you !—silent tears to wee p . Mrs. Ellis in e numerat i ng a woman's various duties, satisfactorily di s p roves t he asser ti o n that her lot is hard—commencing as . follows : "Oh ! say not woman ' s l o t i s hard, Her path, a path of sorrow ; Today, perchance, some joy debarred May yield more joy to-morrow. It is not bard—it cannot be To speak in tones of gladness, To hush the sigh of misery, And sooth the brow of sadness. It is not hard, sweet flowers to spread, To strew the path with roses, To smooth the couch, and rest the head, Where some loved friend reposes. REPORT on the IRISH FISHERIES The fourth annual report of the Commissioners of Public Works, addressed to the Lord-Lieutenant on the ui fisheries of Ireland, having been printed, a brief abstract of Theitsccoonmt e m nt i s ss i i s on su er b s say n ihat throughout the year 1845 jed they had been able to trace the general improvement in the fisheries of the country. Since the last report was issued two Acts have been passed in reference to them, one relating chiefly to the regulation of the salmon and oyster fisheries, and the other having for its object the encouragement of the construction of piers, harbours, and other works for fishing purposes. The following abstract shows a progressive increase in the number of vessels and men engaged in the fisheries, as compared ,wiih the registry for the previous year.— In the year 1844 the number of first-class vessels tvere 2,237 ; men and boys, 11,193. In 1845, vessels, 2,371 ; men and boys, 12;175. In 1844, second-class boats, 15,718 ; men and boys, 73,515. In 1845, second-class boats, 17,512 ; men and boys, 80,898. Total in 1844, vessels and boats, 17,955 ; men and boys, 84,708. Total in 1845, vessels and boats, 19,883 ; men and boys, 93,073. There can be no doubt, it is added, that the fisheries will continue to progress in extent and importance, aided, as they will be, by the enactment for promoting the security and increasing the accommodation for vessels employed in the trade, and by improved facilities for in ternal communication; It is matter of congratulation that during the past season there have been few or none of those disputes among the fishing communities which prevailed, more or less, in former years. The different fisheries are then classified, and obser vations are made under each division. • DEEP SEA FISHERIES.—In this department the com missioners have abstained from introducing restrictive provisions or bye-laws as regards the modes or times of fishing in the open sea ; and, by this course, coupled with suitable explanations, and the force of example and increased experience, prejudices -are being removed, and the way prepared for the introduction of skill and peaceable habits. In former reports allusion was made to the establishment of a small fishing company at Dunmore, county Waterford. The success of the com pany led others to follow their example, and the boats of five companies are now fishing in the same locality. There are in all twelve fine cutters, averaging a weekly produce throughout the year of nearly 1001. The pre judices of the native fishermen against the use of the deep sea trawl net are nearly extinguished, and the people are solicitous for the increase of the number of large vessels, in- order that they may obtain berths. Dealers and exporters have sprung up in the neighbourhood of Waterford, and the companies need no longer trouble themselves about the disposal of their fish. On the average of three years the returns of one company exceeded fifteen per cent. on the capital invested. Though much of the success obtained is attributable to daily steam communication with England, and a steady remunerative price, yet, independently of these, there is sufficient to encourage the trader (who should com bine a system of curing with his traffic in fresh fish) to make exertions similar to those of the Waterford companies in many of the more westerly stations on the coast. A more general adoption of a system of curing would be a very important step in the advancement of the Irish fisheries. Advantages might be derived from adopting the practice prevalent in England of proprietors arid other persons in the neighbourhood of fishing sta tions advancing capital for the construction of improved boats, fishing gear, &c., on the security of shares, held in a sort of partnership with the fishermen in the boats and profits of fishing. This would be a legitimate and safe mode of encouraging the fisheries. OYSTER FISHERIES.—This subject was treated fully in the last report. The Act since passed (8 and 9 Vic toria, cap. 108) affords, with previous enactments, all that appears necessary in the way of legislation for the regulation and advancement 01 this branch of the fisheries. It is hoped that through the instrumentality of the coast guard, and increased exertions on the part of the con stabulary on . shore, the strict observance of the close season will be enforced. Attention is now being directed to the formation of artificial beds or layings. LOBSTER FISHERIES.—An attempt to introduce new modes of capture off the southern coast of Wexford has been frustrated for the present by the jealousy of the neighbouring inhabitants. SPRAT FISHING BY MEANS OF FIXED NETS OR WEIRS. —As the object is useful, with a view to the supply of bait for the deep sea fisheries, it is proposed to grant licenses in all cases in which a prima facie prescriptive right is shown, taking precautions against any injury to the salmon fisheries during the close season. SALMON FISFIEBIES.r-CLOSE SEASON.—After speak ing of the difficulty and dispute in which this subject is involved, the commissioners express a hope that the time is not far distant when one uniform close salmon season will be established by law, both in Great Britain and in Ireland, the habits of the fish being substantially the same in both countries. As regards the sea and tideways, no objection can be made to the ob servance of a uniform close season ; but a slight departure from uniformity in the upper or fresh water portions of rivers will be found judicious. In order that the rivers may be fully stocked with a supply of early breeding fish (a most important object for all parties) there should be a cessation from all kinds of fishing for salmon from an early period of the autumn. The opening during any part of the month of January would, on the whole, be injudicious ; and the few who ,might derive immediate advantage from it, would be amply rewarded for any temporary loss, which they might sustain from being prevented from fishing in that month. It is therefore proposed— That in the upper or fresh water portions of rivers throughout Ireland there shall be a uniform close season, as regards every mode of fishing for salmon, from the 15th of September to the last day of February inclusive. " 2. That in the sea and tideways there shall be a uni form close season from the Ist of September to the 31st of January inclusive. "3. That all net fishing for salmon and trout shall cease in the upper portions of rivers on the 31st August; and that angling only for the fish shall be permitted until the 15th of September." Some doubt having been expressed whether angling should not be permitted later than the 15th of Septem ber after due consideration it is thought undesirable that angling should form an exceptiox. The commissioners further observe that the rivers being the natural nurseries both for the fish within their banks and at their mouths, and for the public fisheries on the coast, the times to be al lowed for fishing therein must be regulated by a regard for the public interest. It is remarked that the altera tion made in the size of meshes and nets by the Bth and 9th Vic., c. 108, has removed many objections which viere urged during the salmon fishery inquiry. The re port concludes with a suggestion for the " assessing all par ties benefited by the fisheries, for the purpose of rais ing a local fund for their protection." It is signed by H. D. Jones, B.T. Ottley, J. Radcliff, and W. T. Mulvaney. 13AL MA.QUE IN A CAYRRN.--A bal mas.jue of a singular character was given on Monday evening at 131aelcheath. Near Trinity Church, on Blackheath-hill, is a cavern, supposed to have been constructed by tha T trines, 180 feet below the surface. In this unpolished b all-room 1,500 persons assembled, and kept up their a musements with spirit until day-break. DUTCH TURKEYS.—The vessel, Jonge Charles, ar r ived at the Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, from the ] Kutch port Flushing, has brought, in addition to several c ;ows and 176 sheep, ten live turkeys, the produce of lolland. We are not aware of a similar arrival having 1 )cen included in previous supplies from that fruitful ;ountry ; and although the number in the present in t Itance is inconsiderable, the importation is by no means unworthy of remark, as it gives an earnest of future arrivals of a similar character, and may be the means of causing a greater abundance of this esteemed bird to ob tain. at the forthcoming festive season, than has been tbe case during those of former years, and thus place t he luxury more surely or probably within the reach of I liege who have hitherto, in consequence of their high price, or comparative scarcity, been deterred from their Durchase. - ALARMING FIRE AT A MALSTER'S.—On Tuesday _ it prning, at an early hour, an alarming fire broke out ii i the premises belonging to Mr. T. Johnson, moister, e. arrying on an extensive business in Montague court, 1 kick-lane Spitalfields. The flames first show ed them f ,elves in the' kiln, and before any assistance could be had, I T hey had extended to the screening room, The engines soon arrived, and no time was lost in setting them to ivork,_ but tho flames were not extinguished until the kiln, the screening room, and the kiln house were com pletely burnt out, and a small building over severely t lan raged. Mr. Johnson, whose loss is considerable, was u' Ansured. It could not be ascertained how the fire 0 riginated. FlRE.—Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, the n • eighbourhood of Barclay and Perkins's brewery, in S 9uthwark, was greatly alarmed, in consequence of a fi re having broken out in a small house, occupied by et Erne poor people, in Angel-court. It appeared that the w‘) man of the house lighted a fire in a room, in which the !re had not been one for some time past, when some sl ), irks communicated with the soot—the chimney being ve7 ty foul—and instantly the whole was in a blaze, and tht i neighbeurhood half suffocated with smoke. The ut most exertions were made by the poor woman to ex tit iguish the fire, but finding it burn fiercer, and it being ev Went that some part of the wood in the flue had Ca 4ifht fire, the engines were sent for ; before their ar. r" 7 4/ i, however, some ladders were obtained, and by the ex& rtions of several men the fire was eventually subdued. Th 1 i engines arrived shortly after, but their assistance ww 1 not requisite. . FATAL CARRIAGE ACCIDENT:ILIA evening an in -quest was held by Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hos !? ital, on the body . of Luke Shaw, aged 51, a drover. the deceased was in a very weak state of health, and on Tuesday afternoon last ho was driving a flock of sheep along the Bayswater-road, when near the . Craven Hill, a :barouche, drawn by one horse, belonging to Mr. fTh os. Orton, of 1, Orme-square, Notting-hill, and driven by . that gentleman; passed. The horse suddenly jibbed, and a person who was on the box got down, and suc ceed ed in getting the animal to proc:.eee, and whilst he we .% jumping up on to the barouelte ag-ain the deCeased, wb ea was unnoticed. by Mr. Orton, was koocked down by the e horse, and the hind wheel of the etc-riage ow er him. I'e was picked up in au insensibie ta co; pooped to t he above hospital, where he expos 4 on pretea,d sasteidd Fr gay last ^ from fracture to the base of the skull. :Ver di Ft, " .

AtClDENT,—Yestorday morning, at about" 1- iill . -past nine o'clock, as a young lady was crossing liyde-park, in the direction of Upper Grovesnor-place, she was knocked down by one of the Brentferd omni- I buses. She was taken to St. George's Hospital, in the immediate vicinity, bid . life was 'found to be already ox,tinet. . - A NOVELTY IN FRIIITS.—On Monday there were :, - -%eral dishes of rivq,Uerries eNhibitLd irk Covent-girden market, ' These were not . the . prodnce . of forcing, but were natural crops; grown in the open air in a gar den near Turnham-green, being Ol o second supply this ---- season.

HOOPER V. 1,3 Y. This was an action on an I 0 U for 101., and the de fendant pleaded payment. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff had been hi partnership with his bro ther, but the money had been lent by the plaintiff out of his privite property. The defendant produced a re ceipt signed by the firm for the amount, and it was al leged that was for the I 0 U. For the plaintiff, in reply, it was urged that the receipt was for goods solds sold by the partnership, with whom de fendant had had many dealings; and it was fur ther contended, that a receipt given in the name of the firm could not be an answer, to a private debt. The SECONDARY left it to the jury to say whether they believed it was a partnership receipt fur a partner ship debt. The jury found a verdict for ,101. The plaintiff claimed interest for three years, but The Learned SECONDARY held that it was not recover able, as there was no promise on the face of the docu ment, or notice given that the defendant would be liable. MARLBRO'-STREET--(THIS DAY.) Mary Mader was placed at the b;ir, under the charge of being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Inspector Baker informed Mr. Hardwick that the de fendant, with her husband, had been before Mr. Long yesterday at the office, charged - with stealing furniture from their lodgings. The woman then appeared to Mr. Long to be the cause of their misery, and they were both discharged, on the undertaking of the husband to return some of the articles last night, and the rest within a short time. The next charge on the sheet was against the husband, for stealing a feather bed from his lodgings last night. Such was the way they had taken to settle yesterday's charge. He believed the evidence as to the bed would go against the woman rather than the man. Mr. HARDWICK ordered both prisoners to be placed at the bar. _ William Hunter was then put to the bar, charged with stealing a feather bed from his lodgings, Carnaby-street. Sarah Walker, 19, Carnaby-street, said both the pri soners had occupied furnished apartments at her house for the last six weeks, during which time they had stripped the rooms of everything but the tables and chairs. She said the woman came last night, about eight o'clock, for the key of her room, with the inten tion, as she thought, of bringing back some of the furniture, according to their undertaking before the magistrate yesterday. But a little after she had got the key, complainant found the room open and empty, and the feather bed, with some other articles, missing. Police-constable 55 C said the man was given into his custody last night, about ten o'clock. The male prisoner said all this arose from the drunkenness of a wife. He knew nothing about the bed whatever, but believed it might be found in some rag shop or old iron shop. He had spent the whole of yes terday making inquiries at shops like these after the other articles, but could get no intelligence about them. Thomas Walker, the husband of the complainant, said he feared the female prisoner was most to blame. Mr. HARDWICK discharged the man, and ordered the woman to be brought up again on Friday. Jonas Barher, apprentice to Mr. J. Smith, plumber, 22, Woodstock street, Oxford-street, was charged with stealing lead pipe from his master. John Smith, apprentice to Mr. Smith, said he left the prisoner last night, about a quarter past ten O'clO - ck, in the shop with a light, and saw him walk up to where the pipe was hanging. The witness heard him meddling with the pipe, then something fall on the box beneath where the pipe hung and then footsteps across the shop. The defendant then walked out by the back door, with something across his right shoulder. Witness told his master, and they went into the shop, where they missed a length of 14-inch pipe, about 321bs. weight. The length of pipe was safe in the shop yesterday morn ing; it had not yet been discovered. Mr. HARWICH remanded him for further inquiry. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) Anne Fredray was charged with stealing a silver watch, of the value of 4/., the property of Thomas Ashley, of No. 3, Berton•place, Ball's-pond, Islington. The prisoner's family, and that of the prosecutor's, had been on terms of close intimacy, and on Sunday last, during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Ashley from home, the prisoner entered the house and stole the watch, which hung over the chimney-piece. On information having been conveyed to the police, inquiries were made at several pawnbrokers, when it was found that the watch had been pawned in the shop of Mrs. Law, Rochester-terrace, Stoke Newington, by a person very like the prisoner. The pawnbroker's shopman identified the prisoner as the person pawning it, and she was fully committed for trial. Mr C. G.

Suspicions that all was not correct immediately arose ; an inquiry was instituted, and both the gentlemen whose names had been used declared that they had given no orders for the purchases. Bills offering a reward for the apprehension of the forgers have been issued, but as yet no clue has been obtained likely to lead to their detec tion. The orders were delivered to the porter at the door, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to iden tify the party from whom he received them. There can be no question that some person or persons affected by the great fall in the Stour shares, and anxious for their advance, are concerned in the attempted fraud. DEATH OF A MARRIED FEMALE DT FIRE.—Mr. Mills held an inquest yesterday, at the Globe, Derby street, King's-cross, on the body of Mrs. Sarah Hopkins, aged 58, wife of Mr. William Hopkins, poor-rate col lector of the parish of St. Pancras, living at 14, Munster street, Gray's Inn-road. About midday on Saturday, the deceased was cooking some chops in the kitchen, when her dress suddenly ignited, and notwithstanding her screams, before her husband could get down to her assistance, she was enveloped in flames, and frightfully burnt over the arms, neck, and various parts of the per -1 son. A surgeon was soon called in, but the injuries were such as to cause her death on the following morn ing. Verdict, "Accidental death." SKIFF RACE ON TIIE TYNE FOR 1001. ASIDE.— On Monday a match for 1001. aside came off on the river Tyne, at Newcastle, between Henry Clasper, well knoyn from his contests with London watermen, and Maddison, a young man of some local reputation, who defeated Clasper in a skiff race at the late North of England Regatta. Great interest was excited, and immense crowds were collected to witness the event. The betting was slightly in favour of Clasper, who, howeve r , lost the choice of place at starting. Maddison took the lead, .and for some distance was a boat's length ahead. Clasper rapidly gained ground, and on coming alongside his op ponent was fouled by him, and accordingly gave up the race. The umpires and referee immediately returned to Newcastle, and, after a good deal of wrangling, decided in favour of Clasper, to whom the stakes were paid. PEDESTRIANISM.—Robinson and Jones's deferred race came off yesterday, according to appointment, at . Fig's Marsh Level, the White Swan being head-quarters. After a multiplicity of false starts, the men got off, Jones with a slight lead, the Hucknall phenomenon, known of late as Caunt's Pet, ran splendidly, and a very fast race ended in his favour by half a yard. The sur mises so rife in London, on Monday night, as to the non-intention of either party to bring this long-suspended match to a conclusion, are thus shown to be unfounded. The competition was first- rate throughout, and the speed of both men fairly tested; in conclusion, we may remark that T. Sewell, the well-known cricketer, who officiated in the responsible and thankless office of referee, dis charged his duty in an impartial manner. DEATH OF Two BROTHERS AT BRIGHTON.—A gentleman, named Champion, who had been staying for some time at No. 45, Marine-parade, died last week, and on Saturday last Mr. Thomas Champion, brother of the deceased, came down from London to superintend the funeral arrangements. Mr. Thomas Champion was 72 years of age, and he was very much unnerved at the loss of his brother. On Sunday evening he went into his bedroom, and whilst there he fell down, .and almost in stantly expired. A corone,-', inquest was 11 ,, 1d on the body on Monday evening, when the jury returned a ver dict of "Natural death." Beth the bodies are lying in the same house on the Marine-parade, Brighton.

(From the Lanckm New Price Current of November 17.) SUGA.a.—To -day 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 G2s to 62s 6(1, brown grocery 635, and s t an dard lumps at 64s per cwt. The market has decidedly an improving appearance. MoLASsEs.—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. MAIMITIUS.—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. EAST Irtroa.—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. FOREIGW.-• 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 4s—good middling coloury went at 50s to 58s 6d,middling 43s to 475, low middling 40s 6d to 425, fine and fine fine or dinary pale 35s to 41s 6d, good ordinary 32s to 33s 6d, ordi ordinary 305 to 31 s , sea dama g ed 30s to 35s 6d, pea berry sound 39s Gd to 61s ; 172 bags Costa Rica only partly sold — good ordinary foxey 33s to 34s ; 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 Gd, fine ordinary 40s to 43s 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 auct th ion were full t alue, aken in at 38s for good ordinary pale, which is v but a few lots of Plantation sold at 69s for good middling coloury, Vs to 35s for triage, and black 10s.; 426 bags East India sold at 24s 6d to 26s for good and fine Padang, and 21s to 23s for sea damaged; 34 casks Jamaica sold at 24s to 40s 6d, fine fine ordinary 51s 6d; 9 bags Demerara at Ils for i black ; 75 bales Mocha —good middling long bean 62s 6d, I triage 28s to 30s, damaged 24s to 525, pea berry 50s 6d. TEA.—Vhe market has still an improving appearance for all descriplions, 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 vet sustaining upon the importation, cause the trade to be Ofopinio n that the y cannot act unwisely in getting well supplied, and these circumstances have induced capital ists to make large investments. Prices are lower than they were at this time in 1845 by ld to 4d for Congou, 4d to 6d for Twank ay, 2d to 6d for Hyson, and 4d to Bel for Imperial and Gunpowder. Srscr.s.-:-Prices are still rising for Nutmegs, the demand having been active by private contract, chiefly for home con sump,4ion. The better qualities'of Cloves met with more attention, Ire no improvement in prices can be quoted. Mace has been in good demand, and previous improved rates are fully supported. Black Pepper has met with little atten tion privately, notwithstanding the low rates that exist. For white previous rates are asked, but little has been done. Cassia Ligitea is in short supply, and prices rule firm. I r n e Cinnamon z good business has been done, and a ll so , r s s al a es. b r i n ging prices rather above t hose of the last quartetrl were Pimento is much wanted, and the parcels sold o t ri e v as a iy i r n a a t n e y s.

There has, however, been little business transacted for for ward delivery. Home made is plentiful. but there being sellers at 49s 6d to 50s nett cash occasioned the demand to be good. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 17. PERRY V. BIEADOWCROFT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) His LORDSHIP delivered judgment, in the course of which he went through the facts of the case, and de -0.'4.1ed that the exceptions should be overruled. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 17. (Bef'ore Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE.) APPLIBBY 71. 'AGE.—IMPORTANT RAILWAY CASE. This case came , before the Court upon motion for an order to inquire in: o the conduct &c., of the directors of a defunct railw.'Y, called the Eastern Counties Midland Railway, and k`.. or directions respecting a sum of money paid into, and now' in the Court, to the credit of the above undertaking. kr July, 1845, a project was formed by the defendants to c,."'nstruct a railway from the Northern and Eastern Counti;'s Railway to North ampton, through Fenny Compton, Stzatford-upon-Avon, to Worcester, and to form a direct com.munication with the eastern and western counties of England. The capital was to be 500,0001, to be divided into 60,000 shares, and a deposit of 11. 7s. 6d. per share to be paid. On the 25th of July the undertaking was registered, and the deposit was increased from the original sum of 11. 7s. 6d. per share to 21. 12s. 6d. • The deposiLa 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 deficiency 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 for 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 consequently they were not entitled to the expenses incurred. The arguments haring concluded, His Holzoun postponed his judgment. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRA3I.) BLAIR V. BROMLEY. The arguments in this cause were then resumed. The cause was postponed, in consequence of the ab sence of Mr. Bothell, who was to have replied. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 17. PETERS V. DOBSON. In this action, which was tried at Guildhall last Thurs day, before the Sheriff of London, the plaintiff sought to recover the sum of 10 1 . 17 s. 6d. for goods sold and de livered. The defendant pleaded 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 nonsait, or to move for a new trial. Mr. PnENTICB 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, returned 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 thew, 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 dint this did not amount to an acceptance of the goods under the statute of frauds. Upon the other grounds it was contended that the verdict was against evidence. The COURT—Take a rule to show cause. The Court having disposed of a number of unimportant motions, prodeedvd with the cases set down on the new trial paper. The first case taken was that of PITT AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES, V. 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-GBNEUAL and Mr. WELSBY were heard at great length fur 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 heard upon the opposite side, and contended that the defendant could not possibly plead the statute of limitations. The COURT took time to consider. CAPMASING AND STARVATION. —Yesterday an in quest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Halifax Arms, King Edward-street, Mile-end New- town, on the body:of Mary Atm Ryan, aged 43. The case was one of great interest. The body lay at No. 5, Spring-gardens, a most miserable place, down the middle of which runs a ditch about two feet wide. The room was so small the jury could only enter it three at a time. On the return of the jury, Elizabeth Simmons, who looked like a resus citated corpse, said that she occupied the room in which the body lay, for which she paid Is. 6d. per week rent. The deceased lived with her, and paid 6d. a week. She got her living by capinaking when she could get it to do. In February last she fell down and hurt one of her legs, causing a bad wound, from which she suffered most se verely. She did not apply to the parish surgeon for assistance, but got a pennyworth of salve when she had the means. The deceased had no bed to lie upon, but used to sit on a bundle of rags and lay her head on a box when she went to sleep. She had not had any work to do for four or five days before her death, and had lived very badly. Witness parted with some of the things to provide her with food as well as she could; but could not do much for her, her own means of livelihood only being the sale of nuts. The deceased had relief from the parish in February last, but none since. The Coroner—Why do you not go into the house? Witness—They won't take me in, Sir; I applied two years ago, but they would not admit me. I don't know why. About half-past two on Monday morning I awoke, and as I could not get an answer when I spoke to • the deceased, I got a light, and found her dead and cold. Some discussion then took place among the jury, and a verdict of " Found dead, caused by starvation," was re turned. A subscription was then made to purchase flannel for the witness Simmons, who was advised to apply for admission into the workhouse, which she said she would do. ST. GILES'S BURIAL-GROUT D.—On Tuesday, at a meeting of the directors and guardians of the poor of St. Pancras, a long discussion took place on the subject of the alleged recent desecration of the dead in the burial ground of St. Giles's-in-the-fields, immediately adjoin ing St. Pancras Workhouse. It was stated, on the one hand, that tho bodies were but partially decomposed, and the shrouds not decayed; on the other ha`hd, it was t i b o e o g y r e o a u r n s d bu to rie s d ,. ; tailileegpeadritshba t o they had ian b c e r e o n s e h ig ad h 4 1:ol o ci r Giles s. It being urged that substances of an offensive and dangerous nature were thus being brought into the parish, a committee, with Mr. Cooper, the medical officer, proceeded to the spot, and, on their return, reported that the pit had been opened at their request, and the lid of one of the boxes it contained lifted up; the pit was about ten feet deep, and more than half full; the box contained ossified remains of human beings; there was no exhala tion or unpleasant smell when the box was opened. The boxes were of the shape of egg-boxes, and had been brought to the ground in hearses. After some further conversation the board appeared to be satisfied, and was adjourned. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 17.—The Royal West India mail-packet Severn, Captain Vincent, went out of port this day at 2 30 P.M., with the West Intact'. d lenient of the mails, a good general cargo, and , a co e uo a pl . m e sbip Madrid, passengers.
