ft Magistrate, said that the whole of the property found in her house had•been purchased by her late husband, who died in the early part of November last. Lea said that he had known the husband of the prisoner very well, and was perfectly aware of his being concerned with a party of well-known wool-stealers, and he (Lea) himself transported two of the gang who were concerned with him. He had no doubt about being able to find an owner for a portion of the wool produced, as he had known several merchants who had lately been plundered of a con siderable quantity of wool by piecemeal. The other prisoners were then called in, but they de clined saying any thing at present, and they, as well as the female, were remanded until Wednesday. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday, two bargemen, in the employ of Mr. Gunner, a respectable lighterman and barge-owner, were charged before Mr. BaoDERIP with stealing 401bs. of coals from a coal-barge belonging to Messrs. Smith and Sharpe, of Wappping. Mr. BRODERIP sentenced the prisoners to pay a fine of 10s. each, for unlawful possession of the coals, and ordered the man who had hurt himself to seek immediate medical assistance. UNION-BALL. Yesterday Henry Goodfellow, a young man in the ser vice of Mr. Peter Anderson, of No. 19, Chester-place, Ken nington, was brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged with stealing two valuable diamond rings, the property of his master, and Charles Grubb, a hairdresser, residing in the above neighbourhood, was charged with receiving them, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Anderson stated that Goodfellow had been in his service, and left him about a month ago, in consequence of suspicion of his having stolen two diamond rings and a watch. Complainant had bills printed and circulated, de scribing the loss of the articles. The two diamond rings now produced are his property, and of the value of 201. They were taken from a drawer in his bedroom, and no one had access to the apartment but Goodfellow and a female servant. William Goodwin stated that on the 26th ult. Grubb gave him two diamond rings, and at the same time said that be made them a present to him for favours he had received of him. Witness did not know the value of the rings at the time, but he afterwards received information that there was some stolen jewellery in the neigh bourhood ; upon bearing which he took back the rings to Grubb, and told him that he heard they had been stolen. Grubb took the rings back, and said that he should return them to the person from whom he had received them. Richard Hoskins, a policeman, stated that he took Grubb into custody on Friday last, and upon that occasion he asked him if he knew anything about diamond rings, and his reply was that he did not. On the way to the station-house wit ness asked him if he knew Goodfellow, and he answered in the affirmative, adding, " I know what you mean." He was then told that he need not say anythin g if be did not like, but he proceeded to say that he had bought two rings of Goodfellow, and gave him 2s. 6d. for one, and ss. for the other. The same morning witness apprehended Goodfellow, who told him that he would find the rings if he let him go back ; and he accordingly took him to the house of a man named Dyer, a green-grocer, on Kennington Common, where he showed him the rings on a shelf in the cellar. The prisoner Goodfellow made the following voluntary statement before the Magistrates :—He said that he took the two diamond rings from Mr. Anderson's house, and went to Grubb, and showed them to him, and he asked him what he was going to do with them ? He (Goodfellow) told him he didn't care ; that he had taken them front his master's drawer, and that they would not be missed, as there were plenty more there. Grubb then took one ring from him, arid said he would give him '.2s. 6d. for it, which he did ; and the following day Grubb had the other ring, for which he gave him ss. Grubb, in his defence, said that he had bought the rings innocently, not knowing their value until the publication of the handbill, and gave Goodfellow 2s. 6d. for the ring which bad most stones in it, and ss. for the other. He added that he knew Goodfellosv was a servant living at 19, Chester place. Goodfellow further said that Grubb instigated him to plun der his master's wino cellar ; and previously to his having taken the diamond rings he took two bottles of wine and a bottle of brandy out of the cellar, and gave them to that person, who told him at the time that he was going to get married, and that he wanted the wine to entertain his visitors whom he invited to the wedding. Both the prisoners were committed for trial, and Grubb . refused to sign the statement he had given relative to the manner in which the rings came into his possession. ROYAL NAVY-SALE OF SHIPS. Yesterday the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland sold by Dutch auction, at their office, Somerset House, eleven of his Majesty's old ships and ves sels of war. The sale was numerously attended, and the business com menced by reading the conditions of sale, the principal of which were :—The ships to be taken with all faults within two months from the day of sale, the purchasers first pay ing into the hands of the Paymaster-General of the Navy the amount of the purchase-money, and producing a receipt for the same. And before the ships were delivered each buyer to produce to the storekeeper of the navy a declara tion of the yard where they arc lying, and that he had not given any fee or reward to any officer, clerk, or labourer employed by the Commissioners, in order to procure any unfair advantage in the sale. All the copper and mixed metal articles marked with the " broad arrow" which may be found in such ships and ves sels are to be returned into the store of the dock-yard near est to the place where the ships may be when the articles are taken out of them. The purchasers of the ships to be al lowed the following prices for the articles returned :—For marked copper articles I Id. per lb. ; marked mixed metal ditto 80. per lb. A gentleman present, addressing the Commissioners, said that he was informed four of the ships lying in the dock yard at Portsmouth, namely, the Salisbury, Tamar, Immor tal:le, and Aracline, were without rudders, and he wished, therefore, to know, for the satisfaction of purchasers, whe ther any explanation could be given on the subject. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, after making some inquiries, said that the rudders were most probably in the dock-yard ; and if so they would be considered part and parcel of the ships sold, and belong to the respective purchasers. Another gentleman remarked that it would be proper to account for the wheels of some of the vessels, which did not appear upon the decks. ** The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said the necessary inquiry should be instituted on that bead. The sale then commenced with a considerable degree of interest. Each ship was put up separately at a certain price, and a gradual abatement made until it came to a cer tain sum, which was accepted by a purchaser. At the con clusion of the sale each purchaser paid a deposit of 251. per cent. on the amount of his purchase. The following is a list of the ships sold, and the sums for which they were respectively purchased : Ships. Guns. Tons. Sold for Narcissus Surly lighter 0 Prince Venerable Salisbury Immortalite Tamar Arachne Ferret Onyx Procris Total amount of sale £22,450 Several of the ships sold yesterday have braved the battle and the breeze for centuries. The Venerable, it will be recollected, was, Lord Duncan's flag-ship in the North Seas, and was engaged in most of the prominent actions which occurred prior to the peace of Amiens. At a meeting held yesterday propositions have been made to the Colombian bondholders for new arrange ments respecting the debt, and an apportionment of it among the three states of Venezuela, New Granada, and the Equator, the particulars of which will appear in another place. I n one r espect the occurrence is remarkable, as it does not appear to have led to a single speculative transac tion, or any alteration in the value of the stock. After the long and painf u l ex p er i ence o bt a in e d upon this subject, and with the example of Mexico before the eyes of the creditors, the creation of a deferred stock for Colombia, and a funding of the arrears of interest, will not inspire the least confidence in the . payment of dividends on th a t portion, one-half, of the original capital which is proposed to be brought into immediate activity. As a source of speculation and gamb ling, much beyond what has heretofore existed in the South American securities, this arrangement will be abundantly fruitful. For each of the three States an active and a de ferred stock will necessarily be created, and, as the credit of each State will be variously estimated, there will be at least six rates of value to be established, for what has heretofore gone under the common denomination of Colombian stock or bonds. It remains to be seen what reception these pro positions meet from the Governments to which they are to be submitted. Great praise is due to those with whom they have originated. The recovery of so large a debt, if such should ever fortunately be the case, amounts almost to a national object.—ilforning Paper.

ON approach of the COMMENCEMENT of JANUARY, all those who may have to write to us before that time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 10/., 9-0/., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forwar 1 the amount in One Note ; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever. possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surp• - the asual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH. P. S. To persons having to remit Si., on receiving a Ten Pound Note, we return Two Pound in the cheapest way possible.

We have already taken notice of Mr. OwEN STANLEY'S address to the electors of Anglesey, on the retirement of Sir R. W. BULKELEY, Bart., from the representation of that county. Mr. STANLEY is a gentleman of considerable talents and sound princi ples. Convinced that the great object of the Reform Bill was to purify institutions good in themselves, but perverted by an all-powerful and interested aristo cracy, he is prepared to carry out that measure to any extent necessary to secure to the people the blessings of good government. He will not act as a drag-chain upon the present Administration, by retarding mea sures demanded by, and necessary to, the public wel fare. England requires the services of such men in the conducting the business of the Legislature. Left to themselves Ministers would do nothing, dis tracted, as they are, by the clamours of the Ul tras—Liberal and Tory. Men such as Mr. STANLEY, having the independence and the sagacity to look beyond the passing occurrences, important only in the eyes of faction, are required to impel them onward in a career of national usefulness. Of Mr. MEYRICK, the opponent of Mr. OwEN STANLEY for the representation of Anglesey, we shall say nothing more than that the gentleman professes to belong to no party—a well-understood synonyme for a whimsical enthusiast, or a Tory of the first water. Your men of no party are generally men of a party by no means popular—candidates for place under a PEEL or LYNDHURST Administration. This is no secret to the independent electors of Anglesey, and we look forward with anxiety to the result of a contest which will prove the interest they take in the regenera tion of our social institutions. We have just learned that Lord RUSSELL has signified his intention of taking the chair at the great Reform Dinner to be given to Messrs. BYNG and HUME at the Theatre Royal, Drury-Lane, on the 23d inst. The whole of the French Journals of Wednesday have been received. In the sitting of the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday the Address to the Throne was adopted by a majority of 87 votes ; the numbers being 98 votes for, and 11 against it. The debate upon it was unusually animated, and served to render more distinct the shades of difference between the policy of the present Cabinet and that which immediately pre ceded it. When the address was voted the Chamber adjourned its sitting sine die. The proposed Address of the Chamber of Deputies was voted for discussion on Thursday, despite of the efforts of Alinisters, who divided the Chamber on the question of its discussion commencing on Wednesday. This little incident is regarded as conclusive of the weakness of the Government in the Chamber of Dapu- tics. We attach no such importance to a matter which may . have resulted from the merest accident. The friends of Ministers knew that there could come no busi ress of importance before the Chamber, and, therefore, in all likelihood, did not take the trouble to be present. As for the Address itself, all parties are dissatisfied with it. The Courrier Francais protests that without a magnifying glass of extraordinary power, it would be impossible to discover in it any traces of the councils of MM. TRIERS and DUPIN. The other Opposition journals are not less displeased with it ; while the Roya list prints denounce it for its sanction of the revolution of La Granja. The news from the Spanish frontier is unfavourable to the cause of the PRETENDER. VILLAREAL anti cipated his disgrace, by sending in his resignation of the command of the forces, on the 27th ult. Don CARLOS accepted it without hesitation, and conferred it, nominally, upon his nephew, the Infante Don SE BASTIAN, but in reality upon► the infamous MORENO, so notorious for his treachery under FERDINAND, and his atrocities since the commencement of the civil war. The incapacity of the Infante Don SEBASTIAN is well known at the PRETENDER'S head-quarters. Even Don CARLOS is convinced that he has neither the sagacity nor the courage requisite to command in a subordinate capacity. On the 30th, Don CARLOR appointed EGUTA to the War Department, thereby giving mortal offence to the " universal " Minister, ERRO. As for the Basque peasantry, they are in no mood to recognise the authority of MORENO, whose defeat at Mendigorria will not soon be forgotten by them. To CTOINTI, the misfortunes of the PRETENDER, whole battalions of his troops have revolted ; and to satisfy the demands of the famishing soldiery, the greater part of the booty collected by GOMEZ in Andalusia and Estremadura, has been divided among them. It was supposed that the Carlists would be pennyless before the 12th inst. ; and their friends on the French side, true to the Doctrinaire principle, were preparing to change their policy by favouring the QUEEN'S cause —now the stronger of the two. Advices from Bayonne of the 7th inst. state that active preparations are making at San Sebastian and Portugalette for an expedition against the Carlists. The British Legion is to receive a reinforcement of six thousand men under the command of General EVANS. The attack will be conducted by Generals NARVAEZ, RIBEIRO, SAARSFIELD, ESPARTERO, and EVANS-all acting simultaneously, and in con , cert with the forces of each other. The plan it agreed upon, and has received the sanction of the Government. The following paragraph, to which we direct parti cular attention, is copied from the Constitutionnel of Wednesday : " A report was current last night in several political circles, that M. Calatrava had sent express orders to the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, to require an intervention, and that the demand would be made officially to-day. We can affirm nothing as to the truth of this rumour, but we have reason to beliefs that a few days ago, when Bilboa was at the last extremity, orders were sent to the Spanish Minister in London to demand of the English Cabinet whether the casus faderia, contemplated by the quadruple treaty, did not exist ; and in case of an answer in the affirmative, to claim the succour of France, according to the terms of the treaty." This demand, if officially made, and with the con currence of our Government, will greatly disconcert Count MOLE, if not entirely upset his Administzation. But with respect to the main fact, we are possessed of no more authentic information than is our Parisian Contemporary. If we may hazard an opinion, the reported demand of interventidn on the part of Spain— now that Bilboa is out or danger—is wholly ground less. But upon such matters it is idle to speculate. The destinies of nations, in the precarious state in which Spain now finds herself, are often swayed by the most trivial circumstances. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 3d inst., inclusive, have been received. Ministers have sanc tioned a plan submitted to them by General SAARS FIELD for the occupation of Tolosa, Vergera, Onate, Hernani, and all the principal villages in the Basques now in possession of the Carlists. To effect this the General proposes a combined movement, in which all the Queen's Generals are to take a share. We are unacquainted with the whole of the details, but we are assured that the most diffident consider the scheme practicable, provided the Generals do their duty. Generals EVANS and JA RREGUY are to attack Hernani and Irun ; General NARVAEZ is to seize upon Vergera; General RIBEIRO is to occupy Or duna ; and for himself General SAA RSFIELD reserves the glory of taking Tolosa. This comprises the lead ing points of the proposed plan, which to us appears admirably adapted for the extirpation of the spirit of rebellion in the Basques, In Spain beyond the Ebro DON CARLOS has established no footing, and the failure of so many attempts has filled him with despon dency. The Government has made a provision for those widows and orphans whose husbands and fathers have been killed in the civil war. The relict of General MINA has been created a Countess in her own right, as a mark of the QUEEN'S regard for the memory of her husband. She has also received a pension—dis tinctions, it is rumoured, to which her fondness for MINA did not altogether entitle her. _ _ _ . Senor GIL DE LA CUADRA, Minister of Marine, is suffering from a violent attack of paralysis. This will lead to a change in the Cabinet. Complaints are made against MENDIZABAL'S neglect of the poor starving monks, whose paltry pittances are not paid up, and who consequently are in a state of misery, border ing upon the last extreme of wretchedness. We trust such complaints are unfounded. No cruelty could be more enormous than the neglect of these poor, help less old men, by a Government which deprived them of a competence to which the laws of Spain gave them a just claim. There is a vast difference between the abolition of monastic institutions, and the starvation of their misguided but innocent inmates. MAILS. Arrived. Due. Arrived. Due. Arrived.

PHILIPS, Esq., at a public dinner on Friday last. ,Our readers will perceive by the report of the proceedings, which appears in another part of our paper, that the same excellent spirit which has been so generally manifested of late among re formers, displayed itself on this occasion among the constituency of Kidderminster. The necessity of a cor dial union among liberal men of all shades of opinion, seems now to be universally acknowledged, as the only bulwark against the assault meditated by the Tories in the approaching Session of Parliament. Even those who, from over-sanguineness in the strength of the resources at tire disposal of the Government, felt sorely disappointed at the results of the last session, begin to view things in a somewhat different light, and with a more impartial eye. It may be all very well for such enthusiasts as Colonel NAPIER and Mr. ROEBUCK, to break a lance with a windmill ; but people of less ardent temperaments feel no desire to imitate such extravagances. They rather regard them as the melancholy effect of that particular state of the human mind in which all the faculties are, as it were, concentrated into a focus, and made to bear on one idea to the exclusion of all others. The people have had time to reflect on the amount of service ren dered to the cause of Reform during the last Parlia mentary campaign, and if that amount falls below what they had anticipated, they are satisfied that it is not owing to the want of will, but to the want of power, on the part of the KING'S Ministers. Nothing is easier than to say, " Oh, the Ministers ought to have done this, that, and the other." They who talk thus little know, or if they do know, do not consider the difficul ties which a Government has to contend with, when it is opposed to two of the estates of the kingdom, or what is much the same thing, to the Court and the House of Lords. The only lever with which the Ministers can work in such circumstances is the House of Commons, and it is too evident to every one that this instrument requires to be strength ened before it can be made to act with sufficient e ff ec t. It is for the people to make it what it ought to be. It is for the people to counteract the majority in the one House, by an overpowering majority in the other. When this is done—and Ministers are found to lag behind the representatives of the people, in their exertions to promote the cause of national ame lioration, then, we say, let them be visited with the fate which they will deserve—the public contempt. But let not more be demanded of them than they have 4 power to perform. It is unjust as well as ungenerous. But as we have said already, the general belief is that all has been done that it was possible in the circumstances to do, and as the season for conflict ap proaches the various bands of Reformers who were 1 disposed to carry on a straggling and desultory war fare against the common enemy, are now uniting under BRIGHTON.-THURSDAY. The King took a carriage drive this morning before lun , cheon. The Queen is much better to-day.

RENFREW ELECTION.—The Tories are still beat ing up iii all quarters for votes in favour of Mr. Houston ; but while the spirit of the Kilbarchan resolutions is known to prevail over the county, it is plain that Sir John Max well has little to fear from Tory opponents. The prospect of the worthy Baronet's return is now almost certain.— Scots Times. Messrs.

Strathmore, occupied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor the whole of the morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CORPORATION OF NORWICH. JUDGMENT. Lord LANGDALE, in giving judgment in this case, stated that two informations had been filed by the Attorney-Ge neral, at the relation of Samuel Bignold, against the Cor poration of Norwich, praying that certain applications in tended to be made Of the funds of the borough of Norwich, might be declared by the decree of the Court to be contrary to, and in direct violation of, the provi sions of the Municipal Corporation Act, and that such application of the funds might be restrained by the injunction of the Court. The alleged misapplications which the defendants were charged with an intention of making, were twofold ; one being for the purpose of defraying cer tain costs incurred in relation to a charity petition, by the appointment of trustees ; the other being for the purpose of defraying expenses incurred in relation to certain pro ceedings in the Court of King's Bench upon applications for informations in the nature of quo warrantos. The prayer of the information was supported by a general allegation that the intended application of the funds was altogether wrongful, directly contrary to the clear and expressed words of the Statute, and in breach and vio lation of the duties and obligations of the Mayor, Alder men, and Burgesses, as trustees of the Borough fund ; but there was no allegation that the Corporation was not in terested either in the appointment of trustees of the Cha rity, or in the proceedings which had taken place in the Court of King's Bench ; or that the Borough fund was insufficient to pay those expenses. To the informations two general demurrers bad been put in by the defendants fer want of equity. In support of the information, it had been contended that the expenses intended to be defrayed out of the borough fund were not such as were authorised by the 92d section of the Municipal Corporation Act ; that the pro ceedings which had taken place in the Court of King's Bench were such as the Corporation could have nothing to do with ; and that if the expenses were to be paid out the borough fund, the burden would ultimately fall upon the rate-payers in the shape of an additional rate, which was authorised to be made by the act. It did not appear to him (Lord Langdale) to be a necessary or reasonable construction of the Statute to say that a corporation had no interest in charities not vested in the Corporation or in any of its members in their corporate capacity, be cause although the administration of charity estates was to be kept distinct from the administration of the borough fund, yet the corporation, attending to the public benefit of its members and the inhabitants, would have a due interest i lFh in the appointmen of trustees, and in the proper regulation of the charities. e petition to the Lord Chancellor for the appointment o trustees must be presumed to have been necessary for carrying into effect the provisions of the Act; and as to the proceedings in the Court of King's Bench, if the Corporation was not allowed to defend an election duly made, the interests of the Corporation, and even its existence, might be put to hazard in every case in which a Mayor, Alderman, or other officer, did not choose to be at the expense of defending his own election against a rule Nisi. His Lordship was of opinion that the present case did not impose on him the duty of deciding on any general question as to the jurisdiction of the Court to interfere in the case of an alleged misapplication of a borough fund; be cause, even if that jurisdiction did exist, a case was not made out in the present information for applying it. A mere general charge that the proposed applications were wrong ful, would not supply the want of those facts from which it was fairly to be deduced, that wrong was about to be done. Under all the circumstances of the case his Lord ship thought both the demurrers ought to be allowed. TIMSON V. RAMSBOTTONI. In this case, which involved no point of public interest. his Lordship confirmed the Master's report, and dismissed the cross petition. The COURT then proceeded with the remaining unop posed petitions. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LORD GEORGE LENNOX V. DESBOROUGH AND OTHERS. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD applied for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiff obtained at the sit tings after last term should not be entered generally on all the issues for the sum of 2,000/., the amount of the policy of insurance effected upon the life of Lieut.-Col. Gress wolde. The Learned Sergeant contended at length that the finding of the Jury respecting the liability of the insured to fits should be taken as decisive of the question, inasmuch as they held that such liability was not general, but was oc casioned by a fall from his horse while quartered in the town of Macclesfield. The CHIEF JUSTICE—We think it right to look at the pleadings very particularly before we make any decision upon your application. Sergeant TALFOURD—Then, my Lord, you will have the goodness to save my motion for a new trial, in case such a course shall become necessary, otherwise we may be too late to make it. The CHIEF JUSTICE--Perhaps you will now state gene rally the grounds of that application. Sergeant TALFOURD-Simply upon the ground that the verdict, if not for us cannot be taken to be one against us, and is therefore undefined. EX PARTE HANDCOCE. In this case Mr. THESSIGER obtained a rule for a quo warrant" directed to a Mr. Mashater, calling upon him to show by what authority he exercised the office of a Justice of the Peace for the Manor of Harrington. Sir W. FOLLETT now appeared to show cause against the rule. The question would turn upon the meaning of the words in the charter of Edward IV., which gave to the inhabitants resident within the manor the right of voting for a Justice of the Peace. Upon a vacancy his client, and the gentlematkupon whose behalf Mr. Thessiger moved, were candidates, and the matter in dispute was confined to the simple question of who should be considered tenants of the manor. A number of votes tendered in favour of Mr. Hancock were rejected, as not entitled to exercise the privilege. He contended that they were properly rejected, as they were not inhabitants or parishioners within the mean ing of the words, as laid down by Lord Coke and several other authorities. Mr. THESSIGER in reply, maintained the right of the inhabitants generally to the exercise of the franchise, and it was for the other side to show the existence of a custom limiting the right of the parishioners. After hearing Sir Wm. Follett and Mr. Thessiger fur ther upon the point, The CHIEF-JUSTICE said he was not prepared to put any exclusive meaning upon the term inhabitant, but a de fect which early in the argument was pointed out by Sir William Follett, did not appear to the Court to have been remedied. They should see before making the rule for the quo warrant" absolute, which would disturb Mr. Mashater in the exercise of his office—a clear legal right in some other person to remove him. Mr. Hendee& asserted that a majority of good votes were given in his favour by those persons who were inhabitants, but not householders ; and that of such voters there were 218 persons a number sufficient to turn the election in his favour. The party making the application was bound to show the Court, by affidavit, that he had a majority on the poll of inhabitant voters, and he should adduce circumstances to prove that the usage and custom of the manor gave to such persons the right of voting. This was not done in the present in stance, and there was not sufficient before :the Court to warrant them in disturbing Mr. Mashater in the exercise of his office: The other Judges agreed in this opinion, and the rule was therefore discharged. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY (Sittings in Banco.) DILL V. L LOYD, SENIOR. This action was brought for the recovery of an attorney's bill. It was tried before . Mr. Baron Gurney at the sittings for Middlesex, when the jury found a verdict for the de fendant. Mr. ERLE now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, upon the ground of its being against the weight of evidence. At the trial , it was shown that the Lloyds, father and son, had bought some farming property at a sheriff's sale, which was afterwards distrained by Ellis and others, the landlords of the farmer on whose farm the sale had taken place. Lloyd, senior, was very angry. The sheriff officer told him that the other parties were wrong, and offered to introduce him to the plaintiff who was an attorney at Worcester. The defendant went with him, and Mr. Hill said the goods could be recovered. The plaintiff then gave instructions for issuing a writ. Being told that hi s son h a d a l so b oug ht so me of te goods at the sale, and that he could not recover them without another action, he gave orders for it to be commenced ; he said he would take the notices home, and get his son to sign‘them, but eventually, before leaving the office, he gave the final order, and the writs were sent for the same evening. The actions went on, and the de fendants finding they had done wrong offered to consent to verdicts for 405., and returned the property. The de fendant had called at the plaintiff's office on the very day this offer arrived, and speaking of the actions in the plural number, said " Accept anything, for I have not money to go to law." The parties in the meantime had heard some rumour of the actions having been commenced without orders from Lloyd, and they refused to complete their offer. The defendant in the present case acknowledged his liability for the costs in that action which was brought in his own name, and had paid the money into Court ; but he denied that he had ever given instructions for the commencing of that brought in the name of his son. At the trial the son was called, and said, the property he bought at the sale was quite independent of his father—it was for other parties, and he had never given any orders for bringing an action. Mr. Baron GURNEY would not say that he would not have agreed in a different vei diet, but he was not so much dissatisfied as to send the case to another Jury. Mr. Baron PARKE said the question was for a Jury to decide. He saw no reason for disturbing the verdict. Attorneys should in all cases take care to have a written retainer.—Rule refused.

An increased animation was experienced in the Stock Market yesterday, owing to the demand for transfers being considerable. This being settling day in Consols there is little doing, except arranging the accounts. The extreme fluctuation during the Account has been about 44 per Cent. To the present time we do not hear of any failures. Consols may be quoted at present better for Money than for Time. Consols 80-a for Money ; for Time, 90i ; Exchequer Bills, 24 prem. ; India Bonds, 13 prem. ; Bank Stock, 210. In the Foreign Market little doing as yet.

Our arrivals this morning arc the French, °Acrid, Dutch, and Hamburg mails ; and ship letters from Jamaica, Bombay, Aug. 31, and Ceylon, Sept. 10. We have received the Journal of Antwerp, of yester day's date, bringing the Dutch prices ; 21 per Cents. 544 ; 5 per Cents. 1011. Bombay papers have been received to Aug. 28. The following items of Canton intelligence we take from the Calcutta Engliskman of the 11th August : " COTTOL—Remains without improvement, and of the better d escr i pt i ons th e re is little or non e i n t h e mar k et. Our quotations are reduced, but fine Cotton is wanted, and the first arrivals of new are anxiously expected. The clearances since February have been unusually large, and our present stock is moderate, consisting of Bengal, 2 2,145 ; Bombay, 2,439 ; Madras, 1,869 ; t0ta1,25,653 bales. OPIUM.—The clearances in the last month have been large, particularly of Malwa, which is almost daily advanc ing in price, from the Bombay ships keeping out, as the time approaches for providing the supplies for the junks Proceeding to the North. A report has again revived withi n these two days of a Bombay arrival, and the vessel is detained outside, as the Chinese have :spread a report to keen down the prices. Patna and Benares have been in less request, but the demand appears to be reviving. In new Patna little has been done since our last arrival., Small lots have been sold at 675 drs. No demand fa Beneras. " The arrival of the William Nicol has not affected, the price of Malwa, sales of which have been made at 65 dollars per chest. The old is nearly out of the market." By private letters from Mocha, it appears that the c . holera was raging there. The Company's Agent, the Cap tain of a brig, and forty-two others, were carried off h:y it in one day. The following is an extract of a letter from a gent tlemau who has just arrived, from Mocha :—" The slavery carried or t at this port has lately astonished me. It is encouraged by the Egyptian authorities, owing to the duty- of two dollars levied on each slave passing through the Custom house. I have ascertained that, within the last ten days, near 700 women, or rather girls, from ten, siVteen, and - e i g h teen years, have been imp or t e d. They look wretched from starvation, receiving just food enough to zeep them alive." HALF-PAST DAVE. From the Madrid Gazette of the 2d inst. : The following is a list of the first subscript 7 ,ons ..which the Patriots have deposited at the Bank of Saint Ferdinand for the widows and children of heroes killed in Bilb oa D. J. Alavarez y Mendizabal, 4,000 reels. Don Andre Arango, 2,000 reals. Don Mangin Coromina, Agent of the Manufacto ries of Catalonia, 3,000 reals. Don Fontanello, Commissary of Commerce of Bare &lona, 3,000 reals. No doubt these generous examples will be follow Iby many more. Several Spaniards residing at Paris have decided to a i nen a subscription in favour of the victims of the siege of Bilboa. Owing to the Bears having put off to the last moms nt the settling of their Account, and the Bulls having takt advantage of it, there appears to be a very great scarcity of stock in the Market.
