NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON. JRTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The following ships and -e-eels are under orders to sail from Spithead to-mor w noon:—The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Dacres, flag Pear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier. K.C.8., Comman . --in-Chiet; the Prince Regent, 52, Captain Martin; e i'owertul, 84, Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8.; • Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker; the Stremboli •am-sloop, Commander Lord Aurelius Beauclerk; and Iyiaserd screw-sloop, Commander Cracroft. Orders, ,ver, have arrived, which annul those for sailing tens. - the Super's, was prevented from coming into the bar :- to-day by the long inspection yesterday, which • vented the lighters from clearing her of her lower ' Phs, powder, shot, &c. The tides being dead eeed, it has been thought requisite to have her much '-'irened, but there is a great deal of nonsense in this, h it is very difficult to understand. Ships have „one out drawing above 25 feet, but the pilots say none -a safely pass the bar drawing more than 22 feet 6 • : es. Why? There is no sea on at any time that can es,lait a ship of that draught. It appears to be " the pilot's mystery." The Superb will come in, it is be lieved, to-morrow. The Driver steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, came harbour to-day. Wind, west; moderate breezes and fine weather. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 20.—The barque Cadet, Captain Pratt, from London, with 150 female convicts and 50 abildren for Hobart Town, put in, through contrary winds, this morning. The Norwegian brig Alfen, from Konigsberg, with iron for New York, arrived on the 17th, leaky. The brig Rupel, Captain Neutn, from Rio Janeiro, 4th geptember, came in yesterday for orders. Since leaving the Western Islands she has had strong contrary 'winds and two easterly gales, each of three days' con &nuance. WooLwiciit, Nov. 21.—The members of the Dock yard Revision Committee resumed their labours at this y.,rd to-day, and have examined a number of persons in v.-•rious departments, and made personal visits to several ^laces, ter the purpose of acquiring a knowledge of the tifferetit matters and modes of conducting the depart merits required by the committee previous to their report being made. Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.8., K.C.H., left Wo•olwich on ,e4urday morning last for Compton, his place of residate, in Devonshire, and the Confiance, when ready for sea, will take round his furniture to Plymouth. Oa the evening previous to leaving, the gallant Commodore caused it to be made known to the atorkmen, that although he declined the honour they in tended to confer upon him by their expressed wish to appear in the uniform of the brigade, he would receive their address, which was accordingly presented by the inspectors and a deputation of the workmen, and re plied to it in the following terms :—" Gentlemen,—lt is rssy wish that you communicate to the several workmen employed under you the very high gratification I feel in receiving so flattering an address from so large a body - of men, whoa I have had the honour to have under ' my command. It is also my wish that you make them tequeinted with the high opinion I have always enter- , trailed of them individually and collectively, that I leave Tern perfectly satisfied with their loyalty, as evinced of, a late occasion by the able manner in which they came forward to a man, when the country was threatened by a mischievous and dangerous body, ereading confusion to her Majesty's Government and tic safety and well-being of society, as well as to their seal and attention to their several duties, whilst I shall es,r remember this particular mark of their respect 'town to me. In conclusion, I wish you all health and 'sappiness, and that you !may live long to enjoy such hl. sings is my most earnest wish." At the conclusion f 'he address the inspectors and workmen gave Sir ',re-don three hearty cheers. iOttTIFICATIONS AND DEFENCES OF THE HOME PORTS. ine following are extracts from reports of the commis - ~ )re appointed to inspect the fortifications and de : mcss of the home ports, and to recommend improve ments or additions to the existing works for the pro tection of the said ports : "SZIEEnNESS.—The floating battery should be a line (l.=batrle ship, without masts, having her bow and stern strengthened, and altered in form, to enable her to fire ttie greatest possible number of guns from those points; should be armed with the heaviest ordnance she will :emir, and he supported by a tower on the Isle of Grain, having a battery of six heavy guns in front of it. The `,ward ship of the ordinary should also be equipped with virat-inch guns on the lower deck, and with her proper armament on the other decks, and she should be perma lendy fixed at the moorings the Nymph frigate is now riding by, as the eddy tide at these moorings „lal ways admit of ships being sprung with their broad s;dea to the entrance of the harbour. Six strong tugs of very light draft of water, but with considera ble steam power, and capable of carrying two or more heavy guns, should be permanently attached to Sheer ressa; they should be ready to change the position of the floating batteries, and would be generally useful fey the defence of the harbour. With the floating force, the preposed batteries at Queenborough might be dis pensed with. " DEFENCES OF TTIE MEDWAY.-The removal of the ordinary to the upper part of the river, above Stangate Creek, is, therefore, recommended, and, in the event of war. same of the mooring lumps attached to the dock yards should be mweled across the river at the narrowest and mast convenient points below them, each with two :le of battle-ships' anchors and cables seaward, and lighter ones to ride by on the ebb, at such intervals as •vou:.l allow of their being connected by their bows and sterns with chain cables, of dimensions so fitted that they might he unshackled to admit of ships passing up and down the river when required; these lumps should be :;•rmen with two heavy shell guns each, and the line to be flanked with two frigates armed with heavy guns, fitted as floating batteries, the one a little in advance of the other, to admit of their delivering their fire clear of each ether. "I'OUTSMOUTH —ln order to assist in the defence of the port, and to meet the contingency of an enemy land ing for the purpose of a sudden and rapid incursion, a floating defence is proposed of two line-of-battle ships and six frigates with screws, as steam block-ships, which would admit of their broadsides as well as their sterns earl bows being armed with heavy guns. These block ships would not only assist in the defence of Portsmouth 'sour, but also in that of the Isle of Wight and the .)atlealtapton Water; and with this view should be ea- PalE'e of being propelled at the rate of between seven and eight knots per hour." The' report adds—" We consider these steam block shins might also, in the event of a serious attack on the ' )48t. at a distance from Portsmouth, be made available f:,r its defence."

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 2 LOWE V. PENN. The Court was occupied almost the whole of the day in hearing the arguments in this case. It was an action to recover compensation from the defendant for the alleged infringement of an Archimedian screw which had been patented by the plaintiff. The case was tried at the sittings at Guildhall two or three terms ago, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff. A rule had been ob tained calling upon him to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside on the ground that there was no novelty in the invention, and that the specification was too vague and general. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom were Mr. Sergeant Byles, Mr. M. Smith, Mr. Webster, and Mr. Flood) opposed at some length the making of the rule absolute. He contended that the invention was per fectly distinct and unlike any screw formerly made, and that the plaintiff was entitled to its uninterrupted use. Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Peacock supported the rule, on the ground cited above, and on the additional one that the jury were mis directed by the Learned Judge who tried the case. The COURT intimated that they would take time to consider the matter. In the event of the rulo being made absolute, the Attorney-General will tender a bill of exceptions to various points. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT, Nov. 21. (Before D. C. MOYLAN, Esq., Judge,) A BILL BROKER COMMITTED TO THE HOUSE OF COR.. RECTION.—SHACKELL P. GADDERER. This was an application under the 99th section of the New County Courts Act, for the committal of the de fendant, Mr. Charles Gadderer, of No. 23, Craven-street, Strand, to prison for forty days, under the following sin gular circumstances. The case was originally heard on the 12th October, when it appeared that the plaintiff (Inspector Shackell) having been engaged to wait upon the defendant and en deavour to get back a " bill" belonging to Lieutenant Dalzell, did so. At the interview Mr. Gadderer pro mised to got the bill if Shackell would give him 10/. This the latter did, but not being able to recover either that or the money, sued Gadderer in this court for the latter. The Judge, on hearing the circumstances, or dered the money to be paid on the Monday following This was not done, andan attempt was made on the part of Gadderer to obtain a new trial, but tho application was refused, and a judgment summons was served upon him, which was made returnable on Thursday last. On that day Mr. Gadderer appeared, and Mr. Roberts on behalf of the plaintiff, applied to the Court for his committal for forty days, on the ground that the defen dant having had sufficient means to pay since the order was made upon him, had neglected and refused to do the same, and also that the debt had been contracted in fraud. The Learned JUDGE said it was clear that if he was satisfied Mr. Gadderer had had the means and had neglected to comply with the order, however painful it might be to his (the Judge's) feelings, he should not shrink from performing his duty in committing him to prison for the full term unless the money was paid. Mr. Gadderer said he proposed to pay the money on Monday. He had a good answer to the case, but unfor tunately he was too late on the day of trial. Mr. ROBERT 3 said he could not wait until Monday, for there was no telling but Gadderer might get the protec tion of the Insolvent Court, for he had been a bankrupt and insolvent no fewer than seven times. Mr. Gadderer—l deny it. Mr. ROBERTS—WeII, I'll have you sworn, and then, perhaps, you will tell his Honour how many. Mr. Gadderer was then sworn, and stated that he was a bill broker, and resided at 23, Craven street, Strand. He kept no banking account, but negotiated bills by ob taining discount from other parties. He had not re ceived one shilling since the judgment had been obtained against him, nor had he negotiated one bill. Miss Botea rented the house in which be lived, and the furniture belonged to her. Mr. ROBERTS—You stated a short time back that you were ready to pay the money into court under protest; from what source would you have obtained it? Mr. Gadderer—l should have borrowed it. Mr. ROBERTS—Under what circumstances did yon contract this debt? Mr. Gadderer—l do not acknowledge it as a debt. Mr. ltoseeTs—Did you not receive 101. from the plaintiff ? Mr. Gadderer—l received 101. from him on account of Lieut. Dalsell's bill, which I held for 501. Mr. ROBERTs—Was it not for the purpose of giving up a bill belonging to that gentleman that had been stolen? Mr. Gadderer—No; itlwas 101. to be paid on account of the bill. The JUDGE said he thought Mr. Roberts was going into a re-hearing of the case. Mr. ROBERTS said he was merely trying to show that the debt had been contracted under most fraudulent cir cumstances. Mr. Gadderer, in reply to the Judge, said he had lived 23 years in Craven -street, and paid 801. per an num rent. He had no money in the funds or household property. The JUDGE—Then out of what property, Mr. Gadde rer, do you pay this 801.? Mr. Gadderer—f have a great deal of money owing me—upwards of 3,0001., and when I get any of it I pay it away. Mr. ROBERTS, after conversing with his client, said he had no objection to the case being suspended until Tuesday morning, to see if Mr. Gadderer would pay the money in on Monday, as proposed. If ho did, of course t here would be an end to the case; but if nor, then he should press for his committal. At the sitting of the Court yesterday, Mr. IZODERTS said the money had not been paid, and he had to urge upon the Court the committal of the defendant, who had not even condescended to appear. The JUDGE said he never wished to be too hasty in committing a man to prison, and would not make any order until the rising of the Court, so that the defendant might in the interim pay in:the money. This, however, was not done, nor did the defendant appear. The ap plic Ltion was renewed, and Mr. Gadderer was ordered to be committed to the House of Correction for ten days for contempt in not appearing. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The adjourned November si , ssions commenced yester day at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, assistant judge, and a bench of magis• trates. The calendar contained a list of eighty-nine cases for trial, five of which were misdemeanours, and the remainder felonies. It appeared from the column describing the state of education among the prisoners, that forty-nine could read and write imperfectly, three were able to read well, fourteen could read only, whilst twenty-three had never been instructed either in reading or writing, and not one was put down us having supe rior qualifications. The JUDGE told the grand jury in his address that all the cases to be tried at these sessions were of a very ordinary character. This, indeed, ho adied, was most frequently the case, so much so, that several grand juries had made presentments to the effect that their services seemed to them to be totally unnecessary. With this question, however, neither they nor the Court had anything to do ; and so long as the law required them to fulfil the duties which it laid down in the ad ministration of public justice, so long were they both bound to discharge those duties, whatever might be their opinion of their utility or their necessity. He admitted, however, that there were grounds for the im pression that in this court, at least, grand juries might very properly be dispensed with; and he was enabled to state that returns of the several presentments made by successive grand juries at these sessions wore in course of preparation for presentation to the House of Commons during the next session, and some legislative enactment affecting these sessions might probably be made in con sequence. ---- 1,188 Among a number of persons who appeared to claim exemption, upon various grounds, from serving upon the petty jury, was Dr. Reid, the inventor of the system for ventilating the Houses of Parliament. The doctor, it appeared, was described as a "grocer," residing at No. 94, Cheyne-walk, in the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea. The name being called, Dr. Reid immediately claimed exemption on the ground that he was a professional man. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—A professional man: What's your name ? Dr. Reid—My name is David Boswell Reid. lam a medical man—a physician, in fact—and I have never been engaged in any other pursuit except the professional management and superintendence of the ventilation of the new Houses of Parliament. The ASsSISTANT-JUDGE—Oh, you are Dr. Reid, are you? Dr. Reid—Yes, I am. The ASSISTANT JUDGE—But you are summoned here as " David Boswell Reid, of 24, Cheyne-walk, grocer." Dr. Reid—All I can say is, I am not a grocer, and never was. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—If you are a physician, and hold the appointment you have spoken of, which I have no reason to doubt, how on earth came you to be de- , scribed a s a grocer ? D r.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 21.) Sr - GAIL—To-day the demand diminished for all sorts of Raw Sugar, and former rates were not to be obtained in consequence of a much larger supply at market. West India was dealt in with caution for all purposes, and in some cases the rates accepted are rather under those of Friday. The purchases are only 380 hhds, &c., in cluding a public sale of 150 hhds Barbadoes, which went ice off at former rates, but without spirit; good yellow re alised 37s to 38s 6d, middling 35s Gd to 36s 6d, and low 34s 6d per cwt. The market for both Colonial and Foreign Sugar closes flatly. ItEFINED.—To•day Refined 'goods met with less de mand for home trade purpose:, and prices declined to 46s 6d to 47s for brown, and 48s for standard Lumps. • Bonded Crushed Sugar is yet in small supply, and much „ in demand. ! 78 EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Madras • Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted to • 6,864 bags; a dull demand existed, and a small part only sold at prices 6d to Is under those current on Friday: middling soft yellow went at 31s 6d to 325, low 30s to % 31e, fine brown 29s to 29s 6d, good 28s 6(1 to 295, low and middling 27s to 25 , , tine strong yellow 38s to 40s, good 36i to 375, low 33s to 355, brown 30s to 32s 6d.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met , with little attention, and the public sales of 5,729 bags went off flatly at a reduction of 6d per cwt; fine yellow ,34 sold at 38s to 40s, goo d 3 6s to 37s 6d, middling 34s 6d to 77 35s 6tl, low 33s 6d to 345, fine brown 32s 6d to 335, good i 325, low to good grey 33s to 375, and out of condition 32s ; to 35s 6d; a part only found buyers. The bulk con sisted of the lower kinds. FOREIGN.-To=day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, and shippers as well as home trade buyers made purchases with caution in the private market; in prices, lee, however, little variation took place. MOLASSES.—Former rates are well supported for West India, and a fair amount of business has been concluded at fully former rates, indeed some parties will not sell ) thereat. For low to fine the prices paid are from 15s to 5 18s per cwt. East India Treacle has been sold to a fair extent at Iss to 15s 6d per cwt, and a less quantity is on offer. For Honey • rather more money has been ob tained. COFFEE.-This afternoon there was more firmness on the part of holders of Coffee, and the market was less ,„ freely supplied with both home trade and shipping sorts; there is, however, not much desire evinced to do busi ness privately. At public sale 699 bags 27 casks Ceylon were all sold; fine Plantation went rather higher, and all other sorts at full rates; Native, good ordinary rata • lised 26s 6d to 275, ordinary 265, damaged 21s to 265; Plantation, very fine 70s to 725, fine 62s 6d to 65s 6d, good 52s to 596, low middling 435, fine fine ordinary 35s to 375, fine ordinary 32s to 335, fine ordinary brickey 29s 6d, and damaged 21s to 40s. COCOA.-West India is not much in demand, and former rates are barely supported. Red is to be obtained at from 38s to 435, and grey 36s to 395. The market for Foreign is dull, at 29s to 32s per cwt. TEA.-For public competition on Thursday the quan tity declared is 700 pkgs of Assam. Black has been dealt in with caution, and quotations still incline down : wards, as the market is well supplied with most kinds. Congou of ord quality is to be purchased at bid to 7d, os. good ord lid, mixed blackish leaf 8d to 81d, Blackish leaf 9d to 10d, strong lld to is id, ditto and Pekoe fla vour Is 2d to is 9d; Souchong, low and mid 8d % to is 2d, good and fine is 4d to 2s 4d, and Pouchong 4d to 7d.

The dealings in other sorts of little moment. Orange Pekoe of ord sod mid quality can be purchased at 7d to Is, good and fine scented Is 2d to 2s, black leaf Pekoe 10d to is Bd, and flowery Is to 3s per lb. Dealers in both town and country are but moderately supplied, and the consumption continues to exceed that of this time in the former year, Rios.-To-day there was not much desire manifested 14 to do business in East India Rice. At auction 1,697 bags of Bengal were only in part sold at rather lower rates:-very good clean white went at 12s, damaged 7s 6d to lls 6d, mid and good mid sound taken in at - listo I is 6d, low 10s to 10s 6d; 4,462 bags Madras went 3d to Gd per cwt cheaper, but the chief part sold; mid pinky white at 8s to 8s 6d, good 8s Gd to 9s, and damaged 5s 6d to 7s 6d. A public sale of 4,200 bags Java Rice is declared for Thursday, as well as 500 chests of Pearl Sago. FRUIT.-There is much firmness in the market, and an extensive demand; the moderate rates cause dealers to get into stock. New Currants are selling at 36s to 395, Upper Gulf Fruit 34s to 355, old 31s to 345, Va leutia Raisins prime 38s, other sorts 35s to 375, Impe pial 80s to 100 s, Carabourna 38s, Muscatels 403 to 85r; French Plums 70s to 80s; Prunes, old 20s to 21s; New Sultana Raisins 70s to 755. red Smyrna 375; Turkey pulled Figs 56s to 90s; Jordan Almonds 61 10s to 81 per cwt. SALTPETRE.-There is firmness on the part of holders !hi of Rough, and they continue to supply the market sparingly. A good home and export demand exists, and - the rates paid are fully equal to those current on - this day week. Th e va l ue o f l ow to f i ne quality is 25s to 275. At auction 2,000 bags of Calcutta realised 25s for middling 9 per cent refraction, damaged Ice. 22s 6d to 235. The stock is not much larger than last year, but deliveries exhibit a material increase, and prices are lower by 2s to 3s per cwt. British refined has been in excellent request at 28s 6d to 295. For Nitrate of Soda the market is dull at 11s 6d to 12s, and the ten dency of prices is to recede. SPIRITS.-Brandy is not lower in value, still buyers make purchases with caution, deliveries keep upon a large scale, and the stock is moderate. For Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1815 holders ask 5s id to 5s 3d, 1846 4s 9d to 4s lid, 1847 3s 9d to 3s lid, interior 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 28 4d o 2s 9d, Spanish 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and French 50 per ' cent over proof 2s to 2s 2d per gallon. Geneva is not much wanted, ord is to be purchased at 2s to 2s ld, and fine for duty at 2s 6d to 3s 6d. For British made Spirit the market has a dull aspect, and the stock is getting larger ; distillers are also willing sellers, as the condition is not so good as of late. To•day Ruin met with little attention, proof East India is only worth is 2id to is 3d, Leeward Island is 3d to Is 4d, and Jamaica 30 per cent (cc over of fair quality 3s per gallon. COCHINEAL.- This afternoon a brisker sale was ex - perienced for Cochineal, and 166 bags of Honduras at auction sold at 3s 5d to 3s I Id for good ordinary to good I silvers, and which are higher rates by Id per lb. TALLOW.-For public competition on Friday the quan tity declared amounts to 500 packages. The stocks far i exceed that of this tim e l ast year; the exce ss i n i mports tow. is also considerable, but the deliveries are 6,000 casks st 4 greater. Prices diff er li tt l e f rom those current at that .% time. The demand has been active for Russian on iu the spot, and a rise in the value is visible, fine 'ls• P. Y. Candle realising 45s 3J to 45s 6d per cwt. Oa the • part of holders there is also firmness. For delivery up to the close of the year several purchases are reported at 45s to 45s 3d, but for the early part of 1849 little business ' 3 4 has been done. Home made finds a ready sale at 455, o d to 45s Gd net cash. All other sorts of Tallow are twanted, and stiffer rates are paid. A t auct i on 47 pps of 48 South American found buyers at 42s 6d to 45s for mid to fine, and 135 casks of Sydney at 43s 6d to 459 * 6d. Rough Fat is, however, still quoted at 2s 7d per stone Gd of 8 pounds. / 44 OILS.-Tie cheapness of Cod Oil has induced buyers 6, to operate with greater freedom, and at 231 10s per tun ed. several parcels were disposed of. For Seal there is a dull , ed i , market, yet no further fall in the value has taken place. , 0 3 . There is a fair supply at market of most sorts. Southern is 1, more in demand, and is held for fully former rates-low to ed fine quality realises 231 10 s t o 2 4 1 1 5s, and good to fine 25/ °' to 27/; the supply has much diminished. For Sperm there is yet an active sale, and prices keep on the rise, the best Colonial is worth Ail/ to 82/ per tun, and only a limited quantity is on offer. On the spot Linseed Oil has been dealt in with caution, Ice. and is offered at the low rates of 21s 6d to 21s 9d, as there is an abundant supply. For delivery, however, more desire is shown to do business, and sales have been made for March and the following six months at 23s to 23s 6d per cwt. The consnmption continues to be of a satisfactory nature, and is likely so to keep on account of the low rates. Rapeseed Oil sells with more readiness, and prices have become firm. Palm met with a good demand, but as several arrivals are near at hand prices do not advance; they rule at 336 6d to 34s for fine, and 31s to 33s for other sorts. Fine Exportation Lard Oil is offered at 425, and Ameri % can at 408. Cocoa Nut is little wanted, and must be '% quoted lower. At auction 131 blids, 60 tons of fine Cochin were only in part sold at 39s 6d to 40s; 103 pps 78 hhds Ceylon 38s to 39s 6d. The value of Sydney is 33s to 36s per cwt.

For public sale 50 packages of Cocoa Nut Oil are , declared. Seal Oil is 30s to 40s per tun lower than at this time last year. Sperm and Southern are also cheaper. COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 21. The business done in the, Corn trade to-day was not extensive, farmers being unwilling to sell at a reduction. The Wheat trade was ver3 heavy, at a decline of Is to 2s per quarter. The finest making Barley was full Is, and other qualities 2s lower. Oats and Beans arc each Is lower. Boiling Peas are reduced 2s, and Grey P. as Is. Malt declined 2s. Flour looking downwards in Price. PER QUARTER.

Taylor and Bright's Circular business of every kind has been very inactive during the past week: the Heather more favourable, and good pro gress now making with seed operations; the show of wheat at this day's market was consequently smaller than of late, but fully up to the wants of millers, who being pretty well in stock are shy buyers. A good show of foreign, but the trNtie very dull, and the bulk of th above arrival goes to granary. We quote the market Is lower than last week for all descriptions of wheat. Tli greater part of our barley import is of malting quality, and such is very bad to sell, even at a reduction of is to 23 per qr., the new English working better than was feared; grinding sorts are comparatively scarce, and go off freely at full prices; momentarily the market is al most clear, but further arrivals are expected. The transactions in other kinds of spring corn are limited, but we have mere inquiry for beans and the better sorts of peas. With only an insignificant arrival of linseed the actual business in this article has been very trifling, and we are unable to alter our quotations. Firmness is the characteristic feature of the trade. More doing in linseed cakes for present delivery at our quotations, with less business for forward. Rapeseed saleable at our quo tation;, and the market unsupplied. Rape cakes re covered from their late depression. In bones nothing doing.

There has been but little business done, though a decline of Is. to 2s. per qr, is submitted to on the best qualities of wheat and barley, and in some instances a still greater reduction on other qualities. We can note no alteration in the value of oats or beans. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 21.—Favourable winds for several days have brought up a fleet of vessels, and we have large supplies of the leading articles of the corn trade from our own coasts and from abroad. Duties have been paid at this port between the 11th and 17th of November inclusive, on foreign wheat, 84 qrs.; foreign flour, 536 brls.; colonial flour, 212 brls,• Indian corn, 8,440 qrs. ; fo re i gn peas, 1,925 qrs.; Indian meal, 35 brls.; foreign barl e y, 872 qrs. Indian corn has been in good demand, and prices are supported, but for every other article of the trade the demand has been very languid, with a downward tendency of value. There was a fair attendance of town and neighbouring millers at this morning's market. Wheat was saleable only in small quantities, at a reduction of 2d to 3d per bushel on the rates of last Tuesday. Flour was dull, and Is per sack and barrel lower. Oats declined id to Id per bushel, but the show of good mealing quality was very small. Oatmeal was 3d to 6d per load cheaper. Egyptian beans supported late rates. Peas were is to 2s per qr. lower. Malting barley met a fair sale at a reduction of is per qr. The demand for Indian corn was less active to-day, but the value was considered un altered. PETERBOROUGH, Nov. 18.—The weather during the last week has been vary fine, which has enabled the farmers to make great progress with their wheat seed ing. The supply of all grain is good to this day's market. Wheat is 2s lower. Barley and beans Is cheaper. Oats 6d to is lower.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.--WORCESTER, The supply supply of new hops on Saturday did not amount to more than from 400 to 500 pockets, the greater part of which was soon disposed of; and although no advance could be obtained, everything with a fair share of colour realised full prices, which are likely to be maintained; and from the scarcity of brewers' samples in offer, we shall probably see hops of that class higher very shortly. The following are now the correct quotations:--Best new Worcester's, 565. to 655. per cwt. ; middling and low, 425. to 50s. per cwt.; 1846'5, 355. to 445. per cwt.

Yesterday having been appointed for th e re-exami nation of the Baroness St. Mart upon the extraordi nary charge of having stolen two diamond rings, the property of Sir John Hare, the value of which was esti mated at 40 guineas, an unusual degree of excitement was caused, and long before the ni7,ht charges were dis posed of by the sitting magistrate (Mr. Broughton) a great many of the nobility and gentry were attracted to the court, in which they took seats on and near the bench. The space behind the prisoner's bar was crowded to excess. At a quarter past one o'clock the magistrate signified that he was ready to go into the case, and, accordingly, the Baroness was led forward by her husband. She took her station in front of the felon's bar, and was ac commodated with a chair, the Baron, and the mother of the prisoner, and the rest of her faiends, remaining in close proximity to her. She smiled, and looked com placently around, like one conscious of her own inno cence, but yet evidently aware that she was the observed of all observers. Mr. Clarkson attended, as before, on the part of Sir John Hare, and Mr. Ballantine for the Baroness. Two additional-witnesses were examined on the pars of the prosecution, but their statements added nothing material to the facts which have already bee❑ given in evidence. Mr. Clarkson intimated that this was the whole of the evidence which, up to the present stage, he intended to bring forward. Mr. Ballantine (addressing the Magistrate)—Then the Baroness, acting under my advice, will reserve any thing she may have to say for a future occasion, you having upon a former occasion stated that it was a matter which must go for trial. Mr. BROUGHTON remarked that he should not give any opinion of his own as to the case. It was one of a most extraordinary nature, and he felt that it was a matter entirely for the consideration of a jury; he should there fore send the accused for trial. Mr. Ballantine—l presume, sir, you will take the same bail as before ? Mr. BROUGHTON—When the evidence which has been taken in full shall have been read over the bail will be considered. Mr. Ballantine—Bail in any sum can be given, sir; there will be no difficulty about that. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine here quitted the court. In the course of half an hour, Mr. Fell, the chief•clerk, who had completed the depositions, read them over ab initio, after which Sir John Hare and the rest of the witnesses in tue case were bound over in the usual man ner to be forthcoming al trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. The bail for the Baroness's appearance to take her trial were Mr. George Duplex, surgeon, Coram-street, Russell-square; Mr. Pennington, No. 73, Upper Norton street, solicitor; Mr. hlaclure, surgeon, Harley -street; one of them in 2001., and the other two gentlemen in 1001. each. LAMBETH. Two clear cases of fraud were selected from the others, and on those the prisoner was fully committed for trial. The Magistrates have received half a sovereign for the unfortunate Miss Ducrow, and also a sovereign from a lady, for the same purpose, which the latter requested might be acknowledged as from the " Truth."

Joseph Harvey, artists colourman, Catherine -street, William Griffin, alias Charles Watson, alias Henry Edward Barker, was finally examined before Mr. Elliott, on various charges of obtaining goods by false pretenceo Front the evidence adduced during the hearing of the case, it appeared that in some instances the prisoner obtained goods by recommendations in his own hand. writing, and in ot hers by a reference to a Mr. John Turner, of 40, Bromley-street, Commercial-road East. This person, who represented himself to one or two of the prosecutors as surveyor of the district, had his studio so arranged with a number of maps and drawings on the table and floor, as to throw the persons applying to him completely off their guard; and as for his re commendations of the prisoner, they were of the most flattering descr:ption, and generally terminated in congratulatingthe parties en finding so excellent a customer as Mr. Barker, Mr. Watson, or whatever the same might be. On one occasion the inquirer, not satisfied with the representations of Turner, requested a reference as to his (Turner's) own respectability, when he unhesitat ingly referred to the firm of Messrs. Downing and Wal ton, Tokenhouse-yard. An application was made to these parties, and the character they gave of Turner was as unexceptionable as that given by him to the prisoner; but as soon as the latter was apprehended, the Mese'''.
