LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 14. (Sittings in Banco.) ALCOCK V. ROYAL EXCHANGE ASSURANCE COMPANY. MARINE INSURANCE. This was an action to recover the sum of 1,000/. upon a policy of insurance on a brig called the William Thompson, which had struck on a sandbank in a voyage from Alexandria to Trieste, being at that time laden with cotton belonging to the Pacha of Egypt. The plaintiff claimed as for a total loss, and the defendant pleaded never indebted. It appeared that the vessel was driven ashore by a current and in a gale of wind on the 17th August, 1843, and, being embedded eight feet in the sand, it was thought impossible to get her off, and she was accord ingly abandoned, after which the hull was sold for 410 dollars. She was subsequently got off, with the aid of 70 men, and a cost of 550 dollars. Having undergone extensive repairs, amounting to about ten thousand dollars, she was taken to Leghorn and sold sor 6,500 dollars. The defendants con tended at the trial that the vessel might have been got off by the captain if proper means had been adopted for that purpose; and also that he was most intemperate in his habits, having been frequently taken to his ship at Alexandria in a state of intoxication: from which they sought to make out that he was, at the time of the acci dent, incompetent to manage the ship. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. Mr. WATSON afterwards obtained a rule for a new trial, on the ground of the reception of improper evi dence—the rejection of evidence which ought to have been received—and that the verdict was against the evidence. Sir F. THESIGER (with whom were Sir J. Bayley and Mr. Bovill) now showed cause against the rule; which was supported by Mr. Watson, Q.C., Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. H. Hill. The case occupied the greater part of two days, but the points discussed were entirely of a technical cha racter. The COURT took time to consider its judgment. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 14. (Sittings in Banco.) HAXILTON V. COCHRANE. The Court was occupied unti l its rising in hearing the argument of Mr. Montagne Chambers upon a rule for a new trial in this case. It was brought for the infring ment of a patent for cutting timber used in ship build ing by the aid of machinery, and was tried at the last Surrey assizes, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. The Court rose at four o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, .Nov. 14. (Sittings in Banco.) LONG v. RENNIE. This was a rule to arrest the judgment, or for a new trial, or to enter a verdict for the plaintiff on the third issue joined between the parties on the count for an ac count stated. The cause was tried before the Chief Baron at the sittings after last Trinity Term, when it appeared that the plaintiff was an engineer, employed by the defendant, Sir John Rennie, in 1845, to survey certain contemplated lines of railway for companies to which the defendant was engineer-in-chief. The claim of the .plaintiff was in the first instance upwards of 4,000 L, a considerable portion of which was paid, leav ing a balance of something like 3,0001. The plaintiff pressing for this balance, and the companies not being prepared to pay off the defendant, an agreement was come to between the plaintiff and the defendant, by which it was ascertained that his balance should stand at 2,300/., which should be met by 1,000/. in cash, a bill for 500/. payable in a month, and 800/. within a month after ; the claim of the defendant should be liquidated by the companies, there being a further stipulation that if Sir John Rennie's balance should not be paid within 6001. by the compani. s, the balance of the plaintiff should be reduced by 3001. It also appeared that Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor of the defendant, addressed a letter to the plaintiff, stating that Sir John Rennie was negotiating for his balance with the companies, but, as there was a diffi ailty in getting his accounts settled, ex cept at a reduction, it was put to the plaintiff whether, fir the sake of insuring prompt payment, he would n , ,t, in common with all others so situated, accept a re duced sum. In this letter the writer expressly stated that Sir John Rennie was not anxious to cut down the plaintiff's claim, or to dispute it, but would rather increase it if possible, he being actuated entirely by a desire to bring about an amicable settlement of the ac counts, in which otj,-ct he claimed the assistance of the plaintiff Under these circumstances, the present action having hen brought to recover the full amount of the plaintiff's balance, it was contended for him that Mr. Freshs , l,l's lr uer boand the defendant not to question his accoulfs, and reliance was placed on that letter as evi dence in stilton of an account stated. On the part of the defsrtlant it was dented that the letter in quesd , in amounted to anything more than a polite and courteous offer t. 3 compromise the claim of the plaintiff, while it left it open to the defendant to go into measure and value, asad cut dewy the claim of the plaintiff, which was asserted to be too high. It was further contended that the agreement had put an end to the original claim of the plaintiff, and had substituted a new state of things altogether, leaving the right to sue for the balance of 8001., there arrived at, contingent on the settlement of the defendant's own cla;m3 by the compvies, which had not yet taken place. The jury having found for the de fen !ant on these points, the present rule was afterwards obtained, and now Mr. MARTIN showed cause, citing a variety of cases to show that the agreement in question operated as an ac • cord and satisfaction of the original cause of action, and that the rule ought to be discharged on all points. At the conclusion of his argument, _ _ _ _ Mr. M. D. HILL. who appeared with Mr. Willes, prayed that the further hearing of the case might be ferred to a future day, as it had come upon him by sur prise, and ha was n )t prepared to argue it. The COURT, after ascertaining that the parties were ready in the next (13i1: in the list, consented to the appli cation of the Learned Gentleman, and it was ultimately understood that tho case should be called on on Friday next. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Nov. 14. (Sitting.; in Error.) IN RE BIRNARD GREGORY V. THE QUEEN. A motion wad ma It in this matter to suspendthe judgment which had bcen obtained, because the principal ground of error was that a general judgment had been given on the indictment, which contained several counts. A rule had been granted by the Court of Queen's Bench to show cause why that judgment should not be amended. The present application was, therefore, that the judg ment should be suspended until the amendment had been made. _ _ Mr. Baron PARSE replied, that the suspension would of course take place until the roll had been amended. The Court then rose. ADMIRALTY COURT, Nov, 14. THE CAPE PACKET.-SALVAGE. This was a case of salvage in which the sole question was, whether the salvors had forfeited the whole or any part of the reward to which they were entitled by negli gence or unskilfulness, to determine which point, de pending, upon nautical questions, the Court was assisted by Trinity Masters. The vessel salved, of 349 tons burden, bound from London to St. Helena, had en countered very boisterous weather, in the course of which she had lost nine of her crew, was met with, on the sth of March, not far from Plymouth, by the Rose, a fishing-smack, of Dartmouth, and by the Surprise, a pilot cutter, of Plymouth; and the master gave charge of his vessel to these parties, who carried her towards Dartmouth, but, on making for the harbour, they took her to the northward of the E astern Blackstone Rock (which was described as a large rock standing high, sur rounded with water), and attempted to pass between this rock and the mainland, in which attempt the vessel ran against the rock, beat heavily, and suffered damage to the amount of 5001. On the part of the owners, this attempt to pass through the inner passage, between the rock and the mainland, with a vessel of such a size, in her disabled state, was alleged to have been an act of gross negligence or unskilfulness; whert , a; the salvors contended that the passage was safe for a ship of that size at any time of the tide, and that the accident was occasioned by some sudden shifting of the wind, the loss of the jib, or the catching of the anchor in the rock; in other word s that an unforeseen alteration of circum stances, for which they were not in any way responsible not the locality, was the caus e of theit occident. Dr. Harding and Dr. B ford were for the salvors, and Dr. Jenner and Dr . R " Phillimore for the owners. Dr. LUSIIINGTON put . it:t a o l the Trinity Masters to say whether or not, looking that circumstances of the case, it was consistewaithmit might degree of knowledge and skill which the salvors passage between be expected to possess to proceed through the mainland, instead of taking aween the rock and the another course, to enter Dartmouth Harbour. There might be negligence so gross as to forfeit all claim to swalovuaigde,bor there might be the effect of negligence, not gross, which away. the claim diminishing, not taking He wished the gentlemen to say, there ra fo o r f the salvors. adopting the course they did, the salvors therefore, in themselves with the ordinary skill and prudence conductedn should be expected from persons belongie toe gfishing smacks of Dartmouth and Plymouth. The Trinity Master: were of opinion that the salvors were not justified in risking a disabled vessel, by taking her between the Eastern Blackstone end the mainland. Dr. LUSHINGTON—The value of the property is 6,775/. The vessel was in great distress, and the service was a very meritorious one. I shall diminish the sum I in tended to give in the proportion I think right and fit, and I shall allot to the salvors 6001. THE LIBERTY.- COLLISION. This was an action by the owners of the brig Star ling, to recover for damage done to her by the Liberty whilst both vessels were in Folkestone Harbour, on the 25th of January. Tne plaintiffs alleged that the Liberty had disobeyed the rules of the harbour master. The de fendants set up a case of inevitable accident by storm, which drove the Liberty nainbt the brig. Dr. LUSHINGTON, without hearing the counsel for the P laintiffs said the Trinity Masters an d hi mse lf were unanimously of opinion that the damage had been occa sioned entirely and exclusively by the improper conduct of the Liberty, the Starling being in no respect to blame; and he pronounced for the damage. THE ALBION.—COLLISION. In this case thi , Amity, a snow of 167 tons, coal laden from Stockton to Len'!or., and the Albiun, from London to Newcastle, with a general cargo, on the 13th of came in collision, in consequence January, in sea ma h, of which the Amity sank. Both vessels were close hauled, the Amity on the s arboard, the Albion on the larboard tack, in which state of circumstances it was the duty of the later vessel to give aay; but owing to the great number of vt.s:els in the channel it was contended on the part of the Albion, that had she obeyed the rule (laid down only for an ordinary state of circumstances) she would have run into other ves3els; she therefore kept her helm to starboard, instead of puttin g it to port, and had the Amity k ep t h er course , as it was her duty a to have done, there would have been no collision. After hearing Dr. Addams and Dr. Bayford for the Amity, and Dr. Robinson and Dr. Twins for the Albion, the Trinity Masters being of opinion that the Albion had acted improperly in putting her helm to starboard, and that the Amity had acted as she ought to have done, Dr. LIISHINGTON pronounced for the damage. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Jokn APIVed, a lithographic printer, was placed be fore Mr. Jardine, charged with bigamy. The prisoner, a respectable-looking young apprehended a few hours after his second marriage, and before he had been able to conduct his new wife to her promised home. Elizabeth Mary Bonnet stated that she lived at No. 1, Greek-street, Soho, and was married to the prisoner at the parish church of St. George, Bloomsbury, by public banns, on Monday morning. He had paid his addresses to her in the usual way, and she believed him to be a single young man. Constable Bird, 125 C division, produced a certificate of this marriage, and also one of his former marriage with Emma Phillips, in August, 1839, at St. Pancras Church. Ira. Phillips, the mother of the first wife, stated that she was living at 23, Buckingham-place, Fitzroy square. The prisoner married her daughter in 1839, and they had lived together as man and wife ever since, excepting during an interval of about eight weeks, when he left her. The prisoner, who seemed hardly conscious of the penalty attached to the offence of bigamy, readily ad mitted both marriages, alleging the infidelity of his first wife as the cause of his marrying the second. He said that he first suspected his former wife on the occasion of a Christmas festivity in 1845, when an uninvited police constable was suddenly found to be one of his guests under circumstances which left no doubt as to her con duct. Having overlooked this impropriety, however, he continued to live with her, until a recent discovery com pelled him to abandon her and pay his addresses to another, believing that no law would require him to sup port or live with a woman of her character. The first wife, who was in court during the investiga tion, manifested her indignation at the prisoner's conduct by a series of emphatic movements of the head and threatening attitudes (whenever she could catch his eye), which evidently betokened something beyond the punish ment allotted by the law for the injury he had done her. Owing to the absence of a material witness, required to furnish legal proof of the former marriage, the pri soner was remanded to Friday, when he will be formally committed for trial.

GREAT NORTHERN.—Since its opening last month the traffic has worked with g reat regularity, and though con siderable, particularly in the item of goods, it has been found, owing to the intricate character of the returns, impracticable to present it in the usual weekl y form, in the railw a y traffic list, with the other lines ; this will be done in the course of a week or two. It has been a sub ject matter of remark that, since the opening, the receipts of the York and North Midland have fallen off, owing to the fact of the Great Northern lisle presenting, from the north and from Hull, a shorter route of transit over any that pre existed, though it is thought probable that much of this falling off may be attributed to the general de crease in travelling, arising from commercial depression. The new line has already proved itself of great advantage to the agriculturists of Lincoln, as well as to the fishing trade of Hull. 1 cwt. of fish may now be taken from Hull to London, in eight or nine hours, for the sum of Zs. 6d. - _ . COVENTRY AND NUNEATON.--The London and North- Western have made a further call of 3/. on the 13/ 10s. shares of this line, ten miles long, in which they are in terested subsidiarily and by subscription to the extent of 270,0001. NORTH-WESTERN.—Another two miles of this line, which runs from Skipton, and unites the Leeds and Bradford with the Lancaster and Carlisle, has just been opened. The works on the branch to Poulton are pro ceeding actively. The part just opened gives access to large slate quarries. SOUTH YORKSHIRE RAILWAY. The works of this line of railway are being proceeded with very rapidly and satisfactorily, in the neighbourhood of Conis borough and Levit Hagg especially. At the latter place the work is extremely heavy and tedious, the massive rock being to blast and cut the immense depth of up wards of seventy feet. A singular occurrence has taken place in the formation of this line near to Warmsworth Church, where it crosses a valley parallel with the river MARYLEBONE. A most extraordinary degree of interest was excited at this court in consequence of its having been the day appointed for the re-examination of the Bsroness St. Mart (formerly Miss Todhunter), who on Tuesday last was brought up in custody, and charged before the sit ting magi.trate, Mr. Broughton, with having stolen two valuable diamond rings, the property of Sir John Hare, under circumstances of a very singular nature, the par ticulars of which, as elicited on the first inquiry, must be fresh in the recollection of the public. _ _ _... Mr. Clarkson remarked that he should not in the present state of proceedings ask the magistrate to send the case for trial ; he was desirous of an adjournment, and upon a future day he should be prepared to produce Mr. Fleay as an important witness in the matter. Mr. BROUGHTON, who had paid the greatest attention to the case, considered that it was one which he should feel bound ultimately to send beFore a jury, but ho should accede to Mr. Clarkson's request, and remand the ac cused, who would be brought up again next Tuesday. He was willing to take the same bail as before—viz., the Baron in 2001, and another surety in 1001.—for the Baroness's appearance on the day named. The recognizances were renewed as r, quired, and the parties then quitted the court. The investigation occupied nearly three hours. In the erow:l assemb!ed to hear the c.,se, a person was robbed of his pur e, containing 151. in notes, and two sovereigns. LAMBETH. Yesterday Mr. ELLIOTT was engeged for some time in hearing a number of summonses which hid been taken out at the instance of the governors and guardians of The poor of the parish of St. Mary's, Newington, by Cook, their newly-appointed inspector of nuisances for offences under the Saniiary Bill of last session. Amongst those summon , d was a person named Ellis, the owner of largo premises in Churro street, Manor-place, Walworth, which have been for some years tee greatest possible nuisance to the inhabitants of that populous neighbourhood. So serious were the evils arising from these premises, that the parish has been from time to time, put to consider able expense in endeavouring t abate the nuisance; hut such was the defective state of the law that it was not until the passing of the Bill last session that suffi cient powers were given to the as igistratee to do so. It was stated in evidence that the defendant's pre mises were used as a place where the nightmen were allowed to deposit their night soil on the payment of lee a load ; that the soil was afterwards mixed up with cer tain portions of horsedung, tan, an I other matter, and subsequently carted away by farmers and market-gar defiers. During the process of mixing, while on the premises, and while being filled into the carts, this com position emitted the most abominable stench. Mrs. Thwite, a lady residing in Manor-place, deposed, that on many occasions a quantity of night soil fre quently exuded through a wall which separated her garden from the premises of Mr. Ellis, and the stench and nuisatee which it ea , isecl were quite intolerable. Latterly one of her daughters was seriously affected with illness, brought on, she hid no doubt, by tb-o noxious and unwholesome smell from the defendant's premises. Me. Bell, a medical gentleman, residing in Manor place, said, he attended the daughter of the list witness, and had no doubt her illness was produced •by the un wholesome and fetid odour emitted from the defendant's premises. Ile (Mr. 13,11) had had frequent opportuni ties of witnessing the injurious effects to the health of the inhabitants produced by the soil and composition kept on Mr. Ellis's premises. He had also seen a large quantity of night soil which had exuded through a wall surrounding Mr. Ellis's yard, and which remained in the garden of Mrs. Thwite. Mr. May, a member of the board of governors of the poor of the parish of Newington, who had viewed the premises of the defendant, said there wore from 200 to 300 loads of night soil and other offensive matter there at the time, and that it was his firm conviction that the place was most destructive to the health of the inhabit ants of the neighbourhood. The defendant, in reply to the charge, made a rambling statement, in which he did not attempt to deny the ex istence of the nuisance, but coolly asked for three weeks to remove it. Mr. ELLIOTT :refused to permit any delay, and made an order for the removal of the nuisance instanter, telling the defendant that he would be liable to a penalty of 103. a day for every day the nuisance was continued, or in default of payment to forty days' imprisonment. William IVeroton, James Williams, and Elizabeth Tay lor, were charged with being concerned in the following ingenious trick : On the preceding evening the prisoner Newton en tered the shop of Mr. Rust, an extenive cheesemonger, at the corner of East-lane, in the Kent-road, and ordered four pounds of the best cheese to be sent to No. 11, Sur rey. square, and also the change fur a sovereign. A boy who was sent with the cheese was met near the house in Surrey-square by a woman, evidently in league with the prisoners, who took the cheese and gave what the boy believed to be a sovereign, but which turned out to be a counterfeit. The three prisoners were taken into custody by con stables 249 and 89 of the M division of police, who had been watching their manoeuvres, but the woman, who actually gave the sovereign, managed to effect her escape. Ti. - prisoners were remanded until Saturday next, when it is expected many other cases will be brought against them. THAMES. John Calnan, a coal-whipper, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a savage assault on James Woodhurst, a police-constable of the K divi sion; and Ann Twig, a well-known and disorderly pros titute, was charged with attempting to rescue Calnan from custody. It appeared from the evidence, that Woodhurst gave evidence, on Saturday, against a woman for stealing three sovereigns from a man whom she had inveigled into a brothel. She was committed for trial. Calnan was the paramour of the thief. Between the hours of one and two o'clock in the morning the police-constable was in conversation with a Custom-hisuse officer named Ford, in New Gravel-lane, when Calnan accosted him, and said, " You are the b-- that got my pal cum mitted the other day." The policeman told the prisoner to go on, which he refused to do, and at last Woodhurst attempted to lay hold of him. He was immediately pinioned by the fellow, who tried to throw him down, A. struggle took place, and the prisoner being the stronger man at last got the policeman down, dragged him along the gutter by the hair of the head, and ill-used him in a most savage manner. Another scuffle took place on the ground, and the prisoner ulti mately grasped the police-constable by the neck with one hand, and the hair of his head with the other, and inflicted serious injuries upon him. All this time the female prisoner was encouraging Calnan to beat the while . hhouersec officer , omanio police-constable , nnll d seized hold o f W oo dh urst ' s h a i r was beating him.

He tried to pull Calnan off :the police-const a b le,ibh but was prevented doing so by the w oman, who had p re viousiy overpowered the Custom -house officer. She took. hold of Mr. Massey's rattle, and got that away from him. Mr. Massey was about to strike Calnan with his staff, but the woman held his arms. The scuffle on the ground continued some time longer, until Woodhurst was quite exhausted. Other policemen, however, came to his aid, and took Calnan away from him, and after a desperate conflict, during which the ruffian was repeat. edly knocked down, he was secured and carried to the station-house. Woodhurst received very serious injuries in the course of the affray. The case was clearly made out, and Mr. YARDLEY, after commenting on the brutal and coAardly assault committed by Calnan on the police constable, said it was a grave offence to intimidate a witness, and it could not be tolerated. The prisoner ap • peared to have been actuated by vindictive motives to wards Woodhurat because he had done his duty as re garded the case of robbery, and apprehended his com panion. He sentenced Calnan to he imprisoned for one month for the assault on the police-constable, and he was sorry he could not add hard laboir to it ; and he committed Twig, as a disorderly prostitute, to the er House of Correction for fourteen days, and be hept to hard labour FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Lendon New Price Current of Nov. 14.) &MAR.—To-day holders of West India were firm, and refused to sell but at fully former rates. There was more desire evinced by the home trade to make pur chases. The total quantity sold amounted to 720 hhds, &c., incluiing at auction 175 hhds and 2 tres Barbadoes, which went off with more spirit, and at stiffer rates; fine yellow realised 418 61, good 37s 6d to 38s 6d, middling 36s to 375, and low 35s 6d per cwt. REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were dealt in more readily for home-trade purposes, and brown lumps were easily to be purchased at 47s to 47s 6d, and Standard lumps 48s per cwt; there is also an increased quantity on offer. Bonded Crushed Sugar is yet scarce, and much wanted at former rates. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius was dealt in with caution, and 2,249 bags at auction only in part sold, but former rates were kept up, fine yellow went at 38s to 38s 6d, good 36s 6d to 37s 6d, middling 35s to 365, low 33s 6d to 345, fine brown 335, and out of condition 32s 6d to 34s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 5,315 bags, but a small part only sold at rather lower rates; good grainy white went at 455, good and fine yellow ditto 39s to 41s, good soft 365 6d, low ,to middling 32s to 35s 6d, Mauritius kind good 37s to 38s, low and middling 34s 6d to 365. Madras is not much wanted, and of 3,227 bags at auction a very small part only sold at barely for mer rates; middling soft brown went at 28s 6d, good 29s to 29s 6d, ordinary yellow 30s 6d to 31s, and middling to good 32s to 34s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, and privately the purchases made were of little moment, although merchants offered to accept rather lower rates. COFFEE.—To day Plantation Ceylon Coffee was dealt in with more freedom at the public sales, which consisted of 1,358 bags and 76 csks, the whole sold at rather higher rates, fine realised 61s 6d to 71s 6d, good middling and good 52s to 595, middling 45s to 50s, low mid dling 403 to 445, fine fine ordinary 34s to 395, fine ordinary 30s to 335, other sorts 24s to 295.

TEA.—There are sellers of Black rather under former rates, yet the trade make purchases with caution, and low to good ord Congou can be purchased at 6id to lid per lb. For Green the market is in a dull state, and prices keep on the decline. With all kinds the market is plentifully supplied. Deliveries keep larger than last year, and there is a smaller stock, whilst prices rule under those that existed at that time. None has been submitted to public sale, but some parcels will be declared shortly. Imports were 10,000 packages during the past week, whilst during that time duty was paid upon 505,636 lbs. Stocks in the hands of town and country dealers are by no means large, and it is a matter of surprise that the market should continue in a dull state. RICE.—To-day the market was well supplied with East India Rice, the quantity offered at auction amounted to 9,204 bags and 1,307 pockets; there was little desire evinced to do business, and a part only sold at a decline on former rates d of 3d to 6d per cwt ; Madras, mid and good pinky white went at 8s 6datry 8 ole9s,afid to damageds 9s, low stoBs, m B i a, and good sound pearl barley damaged o 9s; 6 1 5 1 s to w 9 ly s Bengal, 6d ,ord i g o o s o , d w aad h d i a te ma l e s d 6 5 4 3 t t o o 1 12 1 e s, . s a a t go lB ti s ou to r, lB l s 6B 6 t d o for l6s o 6 r d d , a b gO n r of w S na damaged g s o m 4 a i ° 9 b pearl; a °x t o e 31:9 14s per p e e bags r so o l w d t d ,SPICES.—To-day Black Pepper met with little atten lion, and 3,580 bags at auction were only in part sold at the former value—good clean Black Sumatra 24d to 24d, ordinary grey 2d to 31d, and African lid to 2id; 66 bags of Pimento went at sd. SPIRITS. —Brandy has met with less attention, and must be quoted a little cheaper; * deliveries do not fall off. Cognac.best brands of the vintage of 1845 can be bought at 5s ld to 5s 3d; ditto, 1846, 4s 9d to 4s I Id; ditto, 1847, 35 9d to 3s Ild ; inferior, 3s to 3s 4d ; Bordeaux, 2s 4d to 2s 9d ; Spanish, 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and French 50 per cent over proof at 2s to 2s Id. Geneva is not much wanted-2s to 2s ld is the value of export sort, and 2s 64 to 3s 6d for fine fit for duty. For British made Spirit the demand is good, and the export value is still 3s to 3s 3d per gallon. There is yet no accumulation of stock. To day Rum was only in li mited demand, and prices have still a downward tendency, East India selling at Is 3d to is 3id proof, Leewards Is 3id to is 41d, and 200 puns and hhds of Demerara 30 to 31 per cent over proof is I Id. The price of British made Spirit has been reduced to lOs per gallon. In Ireland a material fall has taken place. INDIGO.—There has been little disposition evinced to do business in East India during the last few days, either for home trade purposes or exportation. Holders are firm, and insist upon last quarterly sale's rates for all kinds. Spanish is not cheaper, but the market has as sumed a quiet aspect. Of all sorts of Indigo there is a smaller stock than last year, but deliveries are less. COCHINEAL.—There was only a limited demand to. day, and of the 150 bags offered at public sale, a part only sold at 3s 4d to 4s for low to good kinds of silvers, and which are former terms.—Black was taken in at 5s 2d to 5s 7d, and Mexican 4s Id per lb. SALTPETRE.—To-day Rough was in excellent demand and 1,168 bags at auction sold at 25s for mid grey 101. to 9 per cent refraction, which'is the full value. By private treaty some parcels were taken at 25s to 27s per cwt. FRIIIT.—To - day at public sale 338 pkgs of Malaga Valencia Raisins were sold at 33s to 345, one lot 295; 2,612 ditto Muscatel Raisins, boxes 49s to 575, ditto in layers 48s to 50s, * to boxes 703 to 98s; 993 boxes Jordan Almonds 71 to 101 7s; 100 t% chts of Prunes 20s; 210 pkgs damaged Valencia Raisins 355; 8 pkgs Valencia Almonds 41 10s; 11 pkgs Malaga Figs 348. TALLow.—Although there is a large stock, and many parcels yet to arrive, still holders are firm and insist upon 45s to 45s 3d per cwt for fine New P.Y. Candle on the spot, at which a good business has been concluded. For delivery up to the close of the year many sales have been made at 44s fid to 455, and at which there are not free sellers. Home made is in excellent request at 45s to 45s 64 net cash, and the quantity on offer is not so plen tiful. Other kinds realised fully as much money. At auction 160 pkgs South American went at 42s 3d to 44s 3J, and 86 csks New South Wales 42s 64 to 45s 6d per cwt. De liveries of Tallow continue to exceed those of List year; arrivals are much larger, and prices are not above that time. On Friday 600 pkgs will he offered at auction. Rough Fat is quoted at 2s 7d per stone of 81bs. OlLS.—There are sellers of Cocoa Nut Oil at further reduced rates, yet the trade operate with caution, and a part only of 539 hhds of Cochin at auction found buyers at 39s 9d to 40s per cwt for fine. Rape seed Oil is yet little wanted : pale can be obtained at 36s to 36s 6d, brown at 35s 6d, and a large quantity is on offer. Although Linseed Oil can be obtained at the low rates of 21c 6LI to 22s on the spot, still home dealers operate with reluctance, and there are few export orders at market. Fur wt. *o.rd delivery only a trifling amount of business has been concluded at 22s per tun. There is a large supply of Oil, but the consumption con tinues of a satisfactory nature, as prices are low com pared.with late years. Olive is further depressed in value, and exporters as well home trade buyers continue to operate with caution. Palm is in good request, and fine realised 33s 6d to 34s per cwt, but several cargoes are shortly expected. Lard Oil has been dealt in with cau tion; English at 41s to 42R, and American at 39s to 40s. Sperm Oil has been in brisk demand, and realised further advanced rates, but the supply is more plentiful. At auction 80 tuns of Colonial were sold. Southern met with little attention by private treaty, and former rates cannot be obtained. At auction 28 tuns realised 261 lOs to 271 for fine quality.. Cod is dull of sale. Seal is cheaper, and only a small amount of business has been concluded, there is also a larger amount on offer. At public sale 126 tuns were in part disposed of.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 14.—The duty on wheat has ad vanced to 6s per quarter, and on flour to 6s 7id per bar rel, which were the only alterations last week. The im ports since Tuesday from Ireland coastwise are consider able of oats and oatmeal, but moderate of all other arti cles. There are no arrivals from Canada, and from foreign ports only 4,787 quarters of wheat, 6,826 quarters of Indian corn, 1,460 barrels of cor❑ meal, 637 sacks and 29,781 barrels of flour. The exports in the same time amount to 1,359 quarters of wheat, 9,886 quarters of Indian corn, 192 barrels of corn meal, 495 sacks and 2,080 barrels of flour. The weather during the past week was extremely cold and frosty, with a slight fall of snow, and since it has been very fine and dry, which should improve the condition of the new wheat. The sales of wheat were very limited, and generally at a small de cline. There was not much passing in oats or oatmeal, but holders were firm, and the few sales made were at Tuesday's currency. Barley, beans, and pease were in retail demand, without any change in prices. Flour was very dull, and in some instances 661 per barrel less was taken for Western Canal, ex ship. Irish held at former rates, and little sold. A moderate demand was expe rienced for Indian corn, at the full rates of Tuesday; 36s was paid for Ibraila yellow, and per barrel for corn meal. At this day's market there was a fair at tendance of both town and country dealers, but the dis couraging reports from Mark-lane caused great caution to be exercised in purchasing, and the amount of busi ness was altogether very moderate. Wheat was 2d to 3d per 701 b lower for all descriptions; and flour was is per sack and barrel cheaper, and few sales could be effected at these reductions. There were a few inquiries for oats, and prices of this day week were supported; but oatmeal was extremely heavy, and 6d per load lower. Barley without change. Peas were offered 2s per quarter lower. Beans met a fair retail sale, and were fully as dear. For Indian corn a good demand was experienced, and prices of the best were the same as last week, and mixed parcels of sound quality were rather dearer. Indian corn meal, 17s 6d to 18s per barrel. CHELMSFORD CATTLE FAIR.-Phis fair was held yes terday, and was in general exceedingly well supplied with most descriptions of stock; the attendance of farmers and dealers, too, was large, and though business was rather slow in the early part of the morning, owing to those who came to purchase standing out for lower prices, the difference was eventually ad justed, and large numbers both of beasts and sheep were disposed of before the close of the day, but at prices rather below those which prevailed at the late fairs in this part of the kingdom. Of beasts the show was very large, including some very good Herefords, which sold at 131 each; the greater portion of this description of stock was disposed of. Of sheep there were about 8,000 penned, including a larg , number in fine condition by Mr. T. Crooks; and in fact there did not appear the slightest trace of disease amongst any exhibited. The trade was described by the large dealers as dull and heavy—that is, business could not be done without a reduction in price, but between 6,000 and 7,000 were disposed of, Down ewes fetching from 26s to 345, and lambs 18s to 28s. Of horses the show was not so large, but there were a few good cart-horses, which were much sort after, and sold at high prices. Of nag horses there was but a middling display, and many of these left the field undisposed oil—Essex Herald. LEEDS, Nov. 14.—Contrary winds during the past week or two have caused our supplies of grain here to day to be less than they otherwise would have been, nevertheless we have had a dull trade. Wheat and barley must be noted fully Is per quarter cheaper. Oats and beans are also each rather lower. MANCHESTER, Nov. 14.—Up to the time we write, the market has exhibited great steadiness, and a fair amount of business is doing. Prices are maintained with firmness, but ❑o advances can be established. In general any attempt to obtain higher rates is unsuccessful, and checks operations. Low descriptions of madapollams and printers (particularly 36 inches) are in good rt , quest at last week's prices. The same is the case with long cloths of low and middle qualities. T. cloths suitable for the Italian market are also in fair demand. 9.8 shirtings of good qualities have been rather more asked for yesterday and to-day, and full prices obtained for them. 40 inch shirtings, fine makes, are comparatively inactive. Domestics or good qualities are steady at last week's prices. In the yarn market a tolerable amount of business doing, and prices are steady. Offers to operate on rather a large scale have been made by some shipping houses to-day ; but they have not been accepted—spin ners generally showing an increasing firmness.—Man cheater Examiner and Times. W OOLLEN CLOTHS.—LEEDS, Nov. 14.—The at . tendance of buyers at market to-day was fully as large as usual, especially in the white cloth-hall, and a tole rably extensive amount of business was done ton the season. The principal sales were in fancy cloakings and other fabrics adapted to the fancy cloth business, with a few broad cloths suitable for the spring trade. There was nothing new with regard to prices. BLANKETS.—HECKMONDWIRE, NOV. I3.—There was an improved attendance of merchant? in the blanket hall this afternoon, and a greater amount of business was done than on two or three market days past, without any change in the marketable value of the goods sold. KIRELALDY, Nov. 11.—We had here to-day fair sup plies of wheat and barley, and large of oats. Sales generally were rather slow. Old wheat brought last week's rates. New was about is per quarter lower. Barley and oats from 6d to Is per quarter under the prices of last week. Wheat--First, 625; second. 60s 6d; third, 565. Barley—First, 31s; second, 28s 6d; third, 235. Oats—First, 225; second, 20s; third, 17s. New wheat, 645, 545, and 465. Oatmeal, per bag of 280 lbs. imp. 325. P HADDINGTON, Nov. 10.—The supply to-day of wheat and barley was large, and of oats and beans small, com pared with the supply of last market. Sales were rather quick.

The hiring 'or men was dull, and many could not meet with engage ments; but for women the hiring was good. Wages were for men, 6l to 7l; lads, 21 10s to 3/ 15s; women ser vants, 2/ to 21 10s. MELROSE HIRING MARKET.—This annual November hiring market was held on the 4th inst. The attendance was pretty large. There were few women, however, in the market; consequently they were receiving fair wages, viz., from 21 to 2/ 10s, being an advance upon last Year's rates of a few shillings. Lads were receiving from 1/ lOs to 2l 10s. The hiring for men was very dull; wages, from 5/ to 61 and 71, and many left the market unhired. Hawick hiring for half-yearly servants was held Oil Wednesday last, and was numerously attended. Women and young lads were readily engaged, but men were not in such request; besides, there appeared far more males than females in want of engagements. The wages rated —for women, 404 to 50s, and some a trifle more; men, Si to 61 10 s , an d k nown h an ds a little more; lads, 21 t o 31 15s. Hawick Winter Fair was held on Wednesday last. There was a large show of cattle, and on no former occa sion were so many English and so few country bred beasts produced. Some hundreds of young English cattle were in the market, which caused a dull sale, though the prices for what were sold were scarcely any thing lower than obtained at previous markets. Upon the whole a good deal of business was done, especially in cattle, six quarters and two years old. Milch cows, particularly early calvers, were in good demand, and brought high prices. Kyloes were in slow request. A lot of 60 English bred calves were exhibited for sale, a good part of which sold readily. A considerable quan tity of the English cattle were not sold, and taken away for Hallow Fair. Prices may be stated generally as follows:—Stirks, six quarters old, from 61 to 71 17s; best sorts, 819 s. Two-year-olds (English), 81 5s to 9195. Kyloes, 41 to 4l 10s. Mulch cows, 121 to 171 10s. Inferior and farrow cows, from 71 to 10/, English bred calves, 3/ 5s to 41 MS. MUIR OF ORD MARKET.--This month's Muir of Ord Market, being the last for the season, was held on Wed nesday and Thursday. The attendance of dealers was Limited, there not having been one, south of Badenoch, present ; those who attended being principally from the neighbouring counties. There were only two lots of crosses exhibited, one of which belonged Co Mr. Craw, ford Ross, Cadboll, for which 121 per head were asked, but only 101 offered, which was refused. There was, however, a considerable show of cattle, but, with the exception of a few lots, they were of an inferior descrip tion, and apparently the refuse of preceding. markets. Mr. Forsyth, Udale, sold his slots—the best in the market, at 5/ 17s 6d, and his queys at Si 7s 6d. Mr. Allan, Drummond, sold his two-year-old Highland siOLJ to Mr. Macket.z.e of Ord, for 51 16s. Mr. Mac donald, Torridon, sold his lot of West Highland cows at prices averaging from 4l to 51 10s. Mr. Maclean, Kin lochewe, sold his lot of queys at from 41 to 4/ 15s. Mr. Anderson, Highfield, his six quarter-olds to Mr. Mac kenzie, Allaugrange, at 31. These were almost the prin cipal sales effected. There were a great many seld in small lots of twos and threes, and the prices obtained, considt ring the quality of the beasts, may be considered fair. Of sheep there was a very limited number. Wed ders fetched from 15s to 18s; inferior from 9s to 12s. Ewes from lOs to 12s 6d. One fine lot of Cheviot lambs for which lOs were asked, was not disposed of. There were but few horses brought forward. The work horses, which changed owners, fetched from 121 to 261. This market, usually a dull one, was particularly so this year, the inclemency of the weather being very much against it. THE IRoN TRADE. The increasing inclination to do business at lower rates which prevailed after the late quarterly meeting, has been temporarily checked by the more prqmising incidents of the last few days. The revival of our South American connexion, the reduction of bank dis counts, the favourable news from the continent, and above all, the dissipation of much of that apprehension which had overwhelmed the affairs of our great railway companies in causeless panic, all operate beneficially upon the feeling of the trade, and assist in re-establish. ing a tone of confidence to its every-day transactions. But the most material drawback, so tar as Staffordshire is effected, appears to be the formidable rivalry of the Welsh and Scotch markets. The low wages of their workmen, and the almost nominal royalty paid in many cases for the minerals, combined with the lighter ex pense of obtaining them, enable the Welsh or Scotch maker to realize a profit upon his iron at prices which would insure a speedy ruin in Staffordshire. And although the article produced must be acknowledged to be inferior in quality, yet it is now so much improved that it can be substituted in a considerable proportion of those uses where Staffordshire was formerly the only material consumed. Hence the demand for the latter has become more limited, and confined to better purposes; consequently the market is more easily glutted, and the rates obtainable must, in a great measure, be dependent upon the prices at which Welsh and Scotch can be brought into the same locality. These at the present moment are excessively low, and as yet without any tendency to improvement. The immediate home mar ket of this district has, however, experienced a slight impulse during the past week, consequent upon the renewed activity of the merchants and manufacturers of hardware ; and although this is insufficient to disperse the gloom through which the prospects of the winter trade Lave hitherto been viewed, even in our own neighbourhood, yet, in addition to the considerations before mentioned, and with a prospect of a better export trade early in the spring, more firmness may be ex pected in maintaining present rates, and a fair employ ment will be provided for the workmen. The lesson impressed upon the abetters of insubordination by the recent events at Vienna will exert a powerful influence in curbing the revolutionary spirit so generally exhi bited among our continental neighbours, and will thus assist in expediting that return to social order and com mercial occupations which must precede the resumption of our export trade with them. In pig iron very little has been doing, as there is no inclination on the one part to give way, or on the • other to purchase at the rates demanded. Coals continue in good request, and the supply raised is rather limited. Many of the iron stone mines are remaining yet unworked, and the holders of stone are unwilling to part with it, still clinging to the expectation of better opportunities after Christms..— Birmingham Gazette. --- - ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, NOY. 1 4.—Major Desbrisay and Captain Hyde's companies, recently re turned to head quarters from Gibraltar, assembled yes terday in heavy marching order for the inspection of Colonel Cruttenden, who was accompanied by Brigade 14ajor Cuppage, and the commanding officers and Adju tants of the 3d and 4th battalions.

LONDON TEMPERANCE LEAGUE. -- The central monthly meeting of this association was held on Monday night at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle -street - J. Dunlop, Esq., p res id e d. Th e meet i ng was addressed' by Mr. Thomas Beggs, Rev. A. P. Black, A.M., and Mr. Henery Clapp, of the United States. The speakers pointed out the immorality and crime occasioned by the drinking system, the necessity of habits of temperance as a means of promoting individual health and national prosperity, and exhorted the audience to support those friends of social reform who were endeavouring to rid the country of one of the greatest evils by which it is afflicted. We learn that several years ago an old woman was condemned to banishment for life from this island, for an attempt to poison the family of a Mr. Jacobs, and it was added in the act of court by which she was sen tenced, that it ever she returned to the island she was to be hung and quartered according to the most approved custom of Terrien. The old lady has returned, and is actually in the Town Hospital at this moment. The Queen's officers are therefore at a nonplus, and have consequently applied to his Excellency the Lieutenant- Governor to procure her a free pardon, but upon what ground it would be difficult to state, except on the same as that of Mr. Smith O'Brien.—Guernsey Sun.
