'MONEY DI ARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with an upward tendency, and prices of Ameri cans were fully id. per lb., and Surats 1-16 d. per lb. dearer than on Friday. All other sorts were unchanged. The sales were 8,000 bales, 1,000 ex port and 1,000 on speculation, comprising 180 Pernam and Maranbam bid. to 7id., 170 Bahia s;d. to 6d., 200 Egyptian 60. to Bid., and 1,500 Surats 31d. to 4id. per lb. Imports since Thurs day, 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was very steady, closing at its best point. • Recent accounts from Rotterdam furnish us with the following interesting report relative to the commerce between the Low Countries and different foreign States during the official year 1854-5. The total value of importations, according to Govern ment returns, exhibits a rise on the previous year, and amounts to 356,4,34,519 florins (Dutch), whereof 244,495,510 florins were for home con sumption ; the exports amounted to 308,780,801 florins, of which 193,621,258 florins were products of the country, and 115,159,543 florins came under the head of transit. In these totals Great Britain figures at the head of the list ; the imports from thence being 991 millions and exports to this country 751. Belgium shows importations from 441 millions, and exports to 301 millions. For other States the proportions are as fol low : Java, 75-29 i ; France, 121-13 ; Russia (Baltic and White Sea), 91 ; Black Sea, 2 ; Zoll verein, 69-116; Hamburg, 61-91 ; Hanover and Oldenburg, 51-21; North America, 7i-51 ; Denmark, 4—l ; Naples, 2-4 ; Norway, 4-1 ; Surinam, 4-11 dTc. From Madrid we learn that a project to establish a new general Bank of Credit, has been submitted by Messrs. Milland and Company, to the Govern ment, which has been favourably reported on by a committee of the Cortes, and it is likely that that assembly will sanction the proposition. The draught of the scheme proposes that the Govern ment should have constraint over its operations, that it should have a capital of 800 millions of reals (8,000,0001.) to be issued in shares of 2,000, and that the directors should have the power to cause notes as low as 100 reals, payable on de mand on bearer at the provincial branches as well as the chief office of the company at Madrid. Members and outsiders on the Paris Bourse remained in a state of inactivity yesterday, in the absence of any news to agitate the market. The business transacted in Rentes showed a tendency to fall of 5 to 25 centimes, but no large dealings are concluded at the reduced quotations. A degree of hesitation to make purchases in the share market likewise manifested itself, and speculators were dull in their bargains. The advices from Rio state that trade was very inactive, and that for export there was scarcely any inquiry. Much satisfaction is expressed by parties in terested in Australia at the reduction again in the Victoria postage to Gd. per i t oz. The new charge comes into operation on this day. A work, eutitied " Ferguson's Tables," has just issued from the press, which is calculated to be of service to the commercial community. The writer proposes to supply more comprehensive, ac curate, and portable tables of profit, loss, discount, commission, brokerage, and other similar subjects ; and the copiousness and arrangement of the details seem well adapted to effect the end in view. Mr. Fer guson, in these " tables," omits all fractional parts of a farthing (100 parts being equal to one farthing), thus proposing to avoid the confusion and errors of the proximate system in which the opposite prac tice is adopted. In addition, these pages embrace much matter of a useful character to the commer cial student, and facilitate also the solution of many questions of daily occurrence. The settlement of the account in the English Stock Market takes place to-morrow, and the deal ings entered into to-day are chiefly in reference thereto. As was expected, stock is not found to be plentiful, and the quotations are consequently well maintained. Consols have been 881 to 88k, but at the present moment they are not higher than 881 The rate for next month is 888 to 88g. Exchequer Bills are rather firmer again, being 'Ts. to 3s. discount. Less is doing in the New Three per Cents., and they rule at 88 to 881, and the Reduced at 87# to 87g. Bask Stock has risen to 1061 and 108, and India Stock is marked 226 and 227 k. Most of the foreign securities maintain the quo tations of yesterday, and are still quiet. Turkish Six per Cents. are 79f to 791, and the New Scrip about 21 discount. Sardinian Bonds are m high as 85k, and Spanish Deferred Stock is 19#. The following are the nominal prices of foreign Stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 7i ; Mexican, 198 to I ; Peruvian, 74 to 75 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 2; Spanish New Deferred, 19A- to # ; ditto Three per Cents., -37 i to 8 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 7; ditto Pas sive, 5i to In Railway Shares there are very few altera tions to notice, the market being Exnerally steady and the dealings limited. Lancashire and York shire, Brighton, North-Western, 4mi South-West ern are most in favour. The foreign and colonial lines are supported. further improvement has occurred in Canada Land Shares, which now rule at 135 to 137. Joint- Stock Ba nks are in limited request.

A requisition signed by a number of master engineers and other large employers of labour having been pre sented to Sir C. Napier, that he would favour, tbem by expounding his sentiments at a private meeting at which none but electors should be present, Sir Charles at once acceded to a request emanating from so impor'rant a portion of tho constituency, and last night was set apart for the purpose. The place of meeting was a commo dious apartment in Nelson-square, known as Turner's dancing-rooms, capable of accommodating about 300 persons, and at the hour appointed it was filled with an influential audience, which, though a trifle less demon strative in its expressions of approval, was to the full as unanimous and enthusiastic as any of the large public out of-door meetings at which Admiral Napier has at tended. Mr. Amos, of the fire of _Easton and Amos, having been called to the chair, said that the gentlemen around him, having found it inconvenient to attend large public meetings where there was much crushing and difficulty of entrance, had resolved upon inviting this candidates to attend at that place to explain their sentiments. Both had kindly expressed their readiness to do so, and an appointment with Mr. Scovell had been made for Thursday next. Sir Charles was then present, but, under the altered circumstances of the canvass, it was not probable that the meeting on Thursday would take place. With this brief explanatory introduction he called upon Sir C. Napier to explain his political views. Sir C. NAPIER said that, when he had the pleasure of addressing a very large meeting upon the previous even ing, he little expected that things would have taken the turn they had, and that Mr. Scovell would have thought proper to resign the contest. He could not say, how ever, that he was sorry that the hon. gentleman had de termined upon that course, because to continue it lunger could only be to keep up a great excitement, to lead to no satisfactory results so far as the retiring gentleman was concerned, and, in short, to do no good either to Mr. Scovell, the constituency, or himself. (Cheers.) He bad been invited to attend there that evening to meet a select number of electors, who, of course, had great in fluence in the borough. He responded to their invitation with great pleasure, and should have done so with equal satisfaction had Mr. Scovell still been in the field. The object of the meeting was, no doubt, to hear from him a statement of his sentiments, and be shoald endeavour to recapitulate them as briefly as possible while he varied his language so as not to prove wearisome. To com mence, then, with the first and most engrossing topic— the war. He was convinced that the country . was una nimous in desiring the continuation of the war until it should be brought to a happy and successful termina tion. (Cheers.) What that termination must be he left to Ministersio decide upon their own responsibility; because he did not think that a meeting of that descrip tion was exactly competent to decide with what amount of humbling of Russia the country should be satisfied. (Hear, hear.) He was quite sure, from the proceedings of the present Government, presided over by Lord Pal merston, that they would not make an inglorious peace. If they did make an inglorious peace, or attempted it, they would soon find that their tenure of office was at an end. (Loud and continued applause.) The hon. gentle. man in the chair had asked him befure the proceedings commenced whether he was a descendant of the great Napier of Merchistoun, who bad invented a m ac hi ne f or destroying any animal within a circuit of nine miles, and three feet high. He believed that his worthy an cestor had invented a machine of that description ; but he had thought that there were weapons enough of destruction in his day, and so he carried his invention along with him to the grave. Whether he would have done so had he lived in the present age was another question. (Hear.) However, Lord Dundonald, better ' known, perhaps, as Lord Cochrane, who in his younger days was the scourge of the enemy and the admiration of the navy, bad a means of destroying —he was going to say every living being—nearly as high as his great an cestor could have dove. Lord Dundonald had brought his invention before different Ministers, and his secret, although intrusted to a great many men, still remained in abeyance. Among others he had communicated it to him (Sir C. Napier), and, having given his utmost atten tion to the subject, he must say that he really believed that Lord Dundonald could accomplish all that he had stated in the papers. What was the reason of the Go vernment for not adopting it he could not say. Perhaps humanity deterred them, or perhaps a fear of failure. He could not admit that a fear of failure was a good excuse, because the effects of a failure would fall entirely upon Lord Dundonald, who was the inventor of the plan, and who offered to carry it into execution, and no upon the Government. Whether it was a humane invention or not he did not stop to inquire; but when we went to war, the best thing that we could do was to put an end to it as soon as possible ; and probably, after all, that was the most humane course which soonest brought a great war to a close. (Cheers.) He (Sir C. Napier) had been called an old loan ; but Lord Dundonald was 10 years older, and yet ho ventured to say that that noble lord was possessed of as touch zeal, energy, and nerve as any man in that room. He should not be at all afraid to trust himself entirely to Lord Dundonald's care--to go just as far as he went, and no further. (Hear, hear.) The gallant admiral then went through the heads of his political catechism, and declared, as the sum of it all, that he was not exactly a Whig, and not exactly a Ra dical, but something between the two, without a name —perhaps he might ray that he was between a Whig and a Radical, with a leaning always to the Radical side. (Cheers and a laugh.) As ten days would pro bably elapse before the nomination, it was just possible that other candidates might start in the meantime ; and the names of Mr. James, Q.C., and of one or two aldermen had been already mentioned. (Cries of They'd better keep away," and loud cheers) If they did come forward, the only effect would be to put themselves and him to trouble, anxiety, and expense, for he did not believe that there was the smallest chance of any man in England now succeeding in Southwark. He had come among them a total and entire stranger. He had met with more than kindness at their hands, for he had met with the most enthusiastic reception wherever he had gone. He ascribed that, not to his own 11r3rits, but to the resolution which English men had when they found a man unjustly treated to come forward to his support. (Cheers.) With these sentiments, had Mr. Scovell thought proper to maintain the contest, he should have gone to the poll in most perfect confidence that he should have been returned by a triumphant majerity ; and to any new candidate who might think of presentbg himself, he said with equal confidence, In the words of the old Scotch maxim, that he "had b e tt er k eep his breath to cool his parritch." Mr. HAWKINS (late chairman of Mr. Scovell's com mittee in this district), a4ted, after some complaint; of the operation of the Poor Law, if Sir Charles would en deavour to bring about an equalisation of the poor-rate Sir C. NAPIEE said that, while aware that the Poor Law bad many defects, he could not pledge himself to do this thing or that thing, and he thought that he should be a very unfit man for a legislator if he were to state off hand that he would endeavour to abolish a law which was the law of the land. All he could promise was that he would do his utmost at all t:mes to benefit the poor. (Cheers.) Mr. Ilawierzes expressed himself perfectly satisfied with this answer. Mr. ALBERT then moved a vote of confidence in and approval of Sir C. Napier. He expressed the obligation which the meeting was under to the gallant admiral for having responded so readily to their invitation ; and ob served that the gallant officer's explanation bad been so lucid and satisfactory that, to his mind, it left 'nothing to be required. If over there were a straightforward, honest candidate for any place, he believed that they had one right before them. (Cheers.) Mr. WHITEHURST seconded the motion, and Mr. Amos having expressed his perfect concurrence it was, carried with unanimity. The meeting, which was prob a bly m o r e significant in its import as affecting the interests of the candidate than any that has yet been held, concluded with the customary compliment to the chairman, and three hearty cheers for the "hero Admiral." CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—Yesterday a Court was held, at which Mr. 'Heywood read a report on the ♦arious plans which have been submitted for the inter oeption of the sewage of the metropolis. The report was ordered to he printed and circulated. FlRES.—Yesterday morning the Duke of York Ta vern, in Turk-street, Bethnal-green, was entirely de stroyed by fire. Four houses adjoining the premises were seriously damaged. —Another public-house, the Fleece, in Ma,sham-street, Westminster, nearly shared a similar fate.—The veneer-store of Mr. Conned, timber merchant, Church-street, Bethnal-green, was totally de stroyed in consequence of a half-spent rockot falling into it. DARING ROBBERY.—James M`Kee, a private in the 75th Regiment, was committed by the county magis trates for trial for robbing a jeweller's shop in High. street, Chatham. The fellow dashed his arm through the plate glass window, and made off with all be could lay his hands on. _ . RUSSIAN PRIZES.—The following vessels, captured in the Black Sea, were yesterday condemned at the Admi ralty Court :—The Nicolo, Michael Archangel, Achil'es, Ayos Joannis, Buona Fortuna, Ercule, Calliope, Con stantine, Ayos CaralamboE,, and the Aspasia. The Pal las, seized in the B a ltic, w as a l so con demned. ---- RIOT AT JULLIEN'S CONCERT,—Two young men, named Newbret and Cole, were fined 2/. by Mr. Jar. dine, for interrupting the music. The disturbance was caused by a number of foolish young men forming them selvas into a ring, and throwing halfpence, hats, a n d bandkerchiefs into the centre—afterwards closing in upon any unlucky a !venturer who might be impludeut enough to attempt to pick them up. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(rhis Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. BOLD V. HIITCHINSON-JUDGUENT. The Lord Chancellor gave judgment today in this case, the arguments in which were concluded on Satur day last. The case came before his lordship on appeal from the. judgment .of the Master of the Rolls. The question in the court below turned on the marriage set tlement made on the marriage of the plaintiff, the Rev. Hugh Bold, and Miss Theedoria Frances Hutchinson. The Master of the Rolls decided in favour of the plain tiff, holding that, notwithstanding the settlement con tained no covenant on the part of the father, his assets were liable to make good the :representation made by him as to his daughter's intended fortune, ber husband, the plaintiff, having survived her.

( From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARMENT, Nov. 7. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch, and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by General Sir James Simpson, G.C.13. Sebastopol, Oct. 23. My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit the copy of a letter from Lieut.• Col. Ready, of the 4th October, and its enclosure, giving an account of the proceedings of a detachment of the force which was sent to Taman fer the purpose of collecting firewood and building materials- Toe service was satisfactorily performed. Unfortu nately three soldiers of the 71st lost their lives, in conse quence of their having strayed beyond the limits pre scribed to them. I transmit the nominal return of the non-commis sioned officers and men of the 10th Hussars who were taken prisoners on the 21st of September, in the aff.tir with the Cossacks, reported by me in my.letter of the 20th September. I Lave reason to believe that the greater portion of the Turkish Contingent are now assembled at Kertch. No further intelligence has been received from Kin bourn. The health of the army continues very good. A few cases of cholera have occurred during the past week, but it is confined entirely to the new corners. I have, &c., (Signed) JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding. P.S.—Since I commenced writing this despatch, I have received the accompanying report from Brigadier- General the Hon. A. Spencer. The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. J. S. Enclosure 1. Yenikale, October 4, 1855. have the honour to inform you that the joint French and English Expedition to Taman returned from thence yesterday, the 3d inst., and that three companies of the 71st Regiment, under the command of Major Hunter, which formed the British part of the force, have resumed their former quarters in Kertch. Enclosed is the report of Major Hunter of his pro ceedings during his stay in Phanagoria. The arrange ments he made for executing the duties entrusted to him, and providing against the desultory attacks to be ex pected from the enemy, gave me complete satisfaction. I regret, however, that I have, notwithstanding, to re port the loss of three men, who were surprised by the Cossacks whilst straggling from their party, one of whom was killed and his body found, and the two others sup posed to have been captured. The French and English gunboats, baying been sud denly recalled, placed us noder the necessity of abandon ing a large quantity of timber, procured from the public buildings in Phanagoria. We, however, collected and transported to Yenikale a very fair supply; the rest was burnt, and the enemy will find it difficult to provide shelter for any number of troops there during the winter. I have, &c., (Signed) C. READY, Lieut.-Col. 71st Light Infantry. Lieut.-Gen. Sir R. Airey, K.C.8., Quartermaster-General, &c. Enclosure 2. Kertcb, Oct. 4, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to report the return to Kertch of the French and English troops under my command, from our joint expedition to Taman. It is with much pleasure that I recur to the assistance rendered by one to the other, but I have to regret the loss of three sol diers of the French Marine, and three soldiers of the 71st Highland Light Infantry; each party having strayed beyond the limits prescribed to them, was surprised by the Cossacks. The bodies of the three French and the body of Corporal M'Dougal alone were found murdered, each having received several wounds from ball and lance. The other two men of the 71 s t Regiment are still missing. Having proceeded in quest of the missing men with both the French Chasseurs and the Hussars under my command, I was still unable to obtain any clue as to their fate. During our stay in Phanagoria the Cossacks fre quently made attacks on our lines by night, having wounded one naval officer, French, and one naval offi cer, English, also one private 71st Regiment, who was slightly wounded in the hand. One Cossack alone, who succeeded in approaching within 4 (four) yards of my advanced sentry, was killed ; but, owing to the dark rier•Fs of the night, it was impossible to discern any ob ject which was lower than our level. The assistance rendered by the naval officers who ac companied the expedition could not have been ex ceeded, particularly by Lieutenants Ainslie and Fitzroy ; and the despatch with which Mr. Williams invariably returned with the Minna, after landing her supply of wood at Yeni-Kaleh, was the admiration of all. The value of this boat on such an expedition is very great. The run-boats being suddenly reca:led for some other active service, a large quantity of valuable wood was burnt. • The buildings at Taman and the large storehouses in Phanagoria are completely destroyed by fire and gun powder, and I cannot conceive the possibility of any body of troops receiving shelter in that n eighbourhood. There being several squadrons of Cossacks constantly around us on the differ en t h e i g ht s , I did not consider it prudent to make any movement towards the hills, con sidering the destruction of the fort and town, also the collection of wood, as being the objects of the expedi tion.--I have, &c., (Signed) R. F. HUNTER, Major, 71st Highland Light Infantry. Lieut.-Colonel Ready, Commanding her Britannic Majesty's Forces, Yeni-Kaleb, Euc'osii:j 3.

Sir,—l have the honour, for the information of the Commander-in-Chief, to forward a more correct state of the force under my command than my very hurried de spatch of the 17th init. enabled me to do. I am this day employed in moving my camp, now three miles from Kinbourn, to the immelats neigh bourhood of. that fort ; our has teen lost in making intrenchments, being too exten sive, and the gun-boats of the allied fleet ' s', from the peculiarity of the ground, could, in the event of an attack from the interior, be of little use to us. The front of the new position will not exceed half a mile, and will be well covered by the gun-boats on both flanks. To-morrow General Bazain purposes to make a recon naissance, in which nearly the whole of the English force will take part. We carry with us six days' provisions. The Fort of Kinburn, which has been very much NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty this day : The facts of the case have already been published. The Lord Chancellor, to-day, after going at consider able length into the case, affirmed the decision of the court below, and dismissed the appeal with costs. QUEEN'S BENCH: (Sittings in Banco.) TIIE BUSINESS OF THE COURT. Lord Campbell stated that to-morrow the Court would proceed with the special papers after the conclusion of motions, and on every day during term, as soon as tl e Crown paper was disposed of, the Court would proceed with the special papers. REECE V. HARRISON. Mr. Sergeant Shee moved for a rule to show cause why n new trial should not be granted in this case on affidavits, on the ground that evidence had been impro perly received, misdirection on the part of the learned judge who tried the case, and that the verdict was against evidence. The action was tried at the last Middlesex sittings _before Mr. Justice Erle, and was an action brought by the endorser of a pro missory note for 3001. given by three persons, of whom the defendant was one, to a person named Strasbourgh• The pleas were—let, that Strasbourgh had not endorsed the note ; 2d, that the note was obtained by the fraud of Strasbourgh ; 3d, that the note when overdue was endorsed to the plaintiff ; 4th, fraud and covin, no value or consideration being given fur the endorsement; and sth, that the plaintiff acted in taking the note as the agent of Strasbourgh, and was in collusion with him, Strasbourgh having obtained and procured the note by fraud. The defendant and the other two persons whose names were on the note were three of the directors of the London and County Assurance Company, Strasbourgh being appointed in October, 1854, ma nager and inspector of country agents. Shortly after his appointment it appeared by the evidence that the company was in want of money, and they applied to Strasbourgh to lend them 3001. He re fused to lend the amount to the cempany, but consented to lend it on the note of an individual director, or "on your's, Doctor," addressing the defendant. On the Ist November Strasbourgh gave a check for 2921. 105, less 71. 10s. discount. At the next meeting of the board a note was prepared, drawn on the 7th November, and signed by the defendant and two other directors ; but, before Strasbourgh took it, he said he must have the date of the note altered from the 7th to the let of No vember, the day on which he advanced the money, and the note was altered accordingly. Several of the direc t( re on the trial stated that the note was altered after it had been given to Strasbourgb, and although they did not stateit, they insinuated that he had altered it, and had com mitted a fraud on them by not permitting an inspection of his books to show he had not discounted the note with money belonging to the company, but no evidence was given that he had any money belonging to the corn pany. It was not even suggested that Strasbourgh was a defaulter. The probability was, that Strasbourgh had not sufficient money of the company to discount this bill belonging to them, because he had but been recently appointed, and his duty was to go round to the country agents and receive money from them. Lord Campbell asked why Strasbourgh had not been examined on the trial. Mr. Sergeant Shee said it arose from an accident, but the defendant made his appearance in court when the learned judge was summing up to the jury. Lord Campbell said the court could only grant a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside on the affidavits, on the payment of costs. Rule granted accordingly. LEAKS v. YOUNG AND ANOTHER.—Mr. Hill, Q.C., said this action was tried at the last Liverpool assizes before Mr. Justice Crowder. when a verdict was re turned by the jury, by direction of the learned judge, for the plaintiff, with ls. damage, and with leave to the defendant to move to enter the verdict for him. The action was one of trover, brought by direction of the Lords Justices in a case of bankruptcy against the plain- tiff, a woollen manufacturer, and the defendants, who were the assignees, and a question arose on the trial with respect to the petitioning creditors' debt and the act of bankruptcy. Rule granted. FRAY V. POTTER.- —SLANDER.—Mr. I3ovill, Q.C., in the absence of the Attorney-General from indisposition, moved for a new trial in the case which was tried at the last Guildhall sittings, before Lord Campbell, and was for slander, when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff damages 1001. on that portion of the declaration charg ing the plaintiff with having sent an anonymous letter to the defendent. The action was brought by the plain• tiff, principal lady's maid to Lady Zetland, against the defendant, an elderly person, who had been 25 years in the same service as housekeeper in the London esta blishment, and the alleged slander was stated to have been uttered at Marlborough, in the presence of Lady Zetland, and was to the following effect :—That the de fendant had received an anonymous letter from Mrs. Fray, and the language was of such a disgusting nature that it was not fit to be produced in any court, and she believed she had been aided by Mrs. Hislop and Emily, and concocted by them, because Mrs. Fray could not have been aware of what had been going on in the establishment for so long a period back. She the❑ knew it was her letter, because she had received one from her last week, and was similar to it—badly written, badly spelt, and altogether like her. That Mrs. Fray was often under the influence of drink. In fact, she was often drunk, and according to her own admis sion, at the servants' table, she was a drunkard. That she on every possible occasion made improper overtures to Gunn, the groom of the Chambers, in every hole and corner of the house, and that., in faith, the young man had been a second Joseph in her hands. She assured her ladyship what she bad said of the plaintiff was per fectly true, and that she was unfit to be about her lady. ship's person, or any woman—indeed she was not a re spectable person. The effect of this, the plaintiff said, was to deprive her of her situation, and injure her character. The learned counsel said it would be necessary to call their lordships' attention to the age of the defendant, which was over 60, because the plaintiff had made certain assertions with regard to her and Gunn. Lord Campbell—That is the love, not the law of the case. What he left to the jury was, that if they be lieved the defendant made the statement complained of, bona fide, after being summoned to the presence of Lady Zetland, it was a privileged communication, if the plaintiff was entitled to especial damages if she lost her situation in consequence. Mr. Bovill then referred to the evidence given on the trial, and to that of the plaintiff's, which showed she was labouring under various grievances, such as being rung to dinner, and having to put coals on her own fire, which caused an ill-feeling on her cart, and he was prepared to show, from the family physician, that the plaintiff was suffering at the time from nervous excite ment, bordering on insanity, and that it was her lady- ship's intention to have discharged her in consequence without notice. He asked for a rule on the g round of misdirection ; second, that the finding of thejuryshould bo for the defendant, and not the plaintiff ; thirdly, that the finding of the jury was imperfect and u nsatisfactory ; an d fourthly, that the verdict was a gainst the weight of evidence. Lord Campbell said the learned counsel might take a rule generally. COURT OF EXCHEQUER . (Sittings in Banco.) Jowl. V. HINTON. moved f or a rule in this case to Mr. Bramwel l, Q .C., show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new rule granted. This action was tried at guildhall, before Mr. Baron Martin, and was brought to recover back a sum of money paid by the plaintiff to the defendant, for the purchase of a quantity of raisins then in Messrs. Hall's, wharfinger, wharehouses, the defendant at the same time, according to custom, delivering to the plaintff the warrant for the delivery of the goods. The warrant ultimately turned out to bo one of a number of forgeries by a person named Anderson, who was subsequently tried for forgery and was transported. The learned counsel contended the defendant had done all that was 25 10 5 20 10 20 5 20 18 203 20, 1 , 100 20,1 100 7,0 16 20 20 101 8 i i i i 61 84 i 70i - 70 119 k 19 Glib 7 5 1 931 41 4 ii Bii i 4 21 f 6ii 5 6S 8 10i 351 22i 1 15/ 16 101 5 44J i 73i 44 31 TIIE Q UARTE RUES. The Quarterly Review. No. CXCIV. A thoroughly genial and exquisitely appreciative notice of Mr. Thackeray is, to our thinking, the charm of the present number of the Quarterly. The reviewer considers, as we ourselves have long done,that "The Newcomes" must be regarded as our great novelist's masterpiece. Justice is accorded to that most masterly creation—Colonel Thomas New come—henceforth to be cherished in remembrance as one of the glories of our national literature. Scarcely enough, however, is said in commenda tion of Monsieur Paul de Florae, Prince de Mont. contour—pink and pattern of French gentlemen. More than enough is added in praise of the skill revealed in our satirist's excruciating portraiture of Mrs. Mackenzie—fiend rather than woman, and yet, though displayed as such, an actual callo type rather than an extravagant caricature. The passages extracted from " The Newcomes," in justification of the panegyrics here lavished upon the writer by the critic, are one and all of them precisely those we ourselves hare, from time to time, specified accordingly as the numbers of the serial story is sued from the press periodically : passages so spe cified by us as brilliantly demonstrative of the wit, the pathos, the sarcasm, the eloquence, the humour, the tenderness, squandered by the affluent hand of genius upon this one inimitable masterpiece. Among these, for example, must be remembered the celebiation of the little ills of life as those by which existence is for the most part embittered ; the sarcastic inculcation of sel fishness as the primum mobile ; the droll memorial of the political principles of the East India Colonel, the real hero of the tale ; the humorous eulogium pronounced upon evil tempers, as exemplified by the Black Dog of Lady Kew ; the memorable disclo sure of the skeleton hid away somewhere orother, in a dark cupboard, in every household in the land; the pathetic affectation of sternness towards the woman who falls, and the yet more patlivtio truthfulness of her career as depicted afterwards ; the life-like sketches of the vulgar Potters of Rosebury Green, of the delicious De Florae as an English country gentleman, and of that horrid little group typical of men of the tuft-hunting and toad-eating genus, as exemplified in the presence of Mr. Bowman, the valet, by honest Jack Todhunter ' and the ever-faithful Captain Henchman. Enough: having alluded thus far in detail to this very delightful criticism upon " The Newcomes," we may now content ourselves by referring every admirer of Mr. Thackeray to the entire panygeiic itself as pronounced upon the Field ing of our ago by the authoritative voice of the Quarterly Reviewer. The article on " Pitt and Fox," though undoubtedly clever as it is„ would have been still better had the writer con fined his attention more immediately to the twin subject nominally under his considera tion, instead of allowing his comments to wander away so very discursively upon the Earl of Shelburne ant the Marquis of Rockingham. We begin, formally enough, with the birth of Wil liam Pitt, the second son of the great Earl of Chat ham, on the 28th of May, 1759—we attend to the record of his home tuition under his father's care from six tofourteen—we follow him to his entrance, in 1773, at Pembroke Hall, in the University of Cambridge, and thence to the date of his being called to the bar in 1780, and of his going the Western Circuit—we mark his unsuccessful attempt to be allowed to represent the University of Cam bridge in Parliament during the ensuing autumn, incl of his ultimate entrance into the House of Com mons in the January of 1781, as M.P. for the bo rough of Appleby—and then we are all at sea floundering about in a chaos of loose commentaries upon the position of parties towards the end of the eighteenth century, hearing little or nothing about Pitt, or about Fox, but a very great deal about Lord North, and Lord Shelburne, and Lord Rock ingham, and Lord Thurlow, and the Lord knows who else besides. The paper wants condensation. It is altogether too long and too straggling. There is one passage, however, of a wholly epi , odical, or rather parenthetical, character, which we cannot resist the satisfaction of quoti ng p rec i se l y as it stands here in the old Tory Quarterly. It occurs where the reviewer is speaking of Lord Shelburne, afterwards Marquis of Lansdowne—of whom the writer observes that in his less amiable and attrac tive attributes he is— "Favourably indeed contrasted by the son, who ulti mately succeeded to his honours, and who yet lives to command the affectionate veneration of all, who, what. ever the differences of party, can appreciate the nature in which a rare elevation and an exquisite suasity ad mit of no enmities, while cementing all friendships— and which, gracing by accomplished culture a patriotism not embittered by spleen nor alloyed by ambition, har monises into classic beauty the character of one with whom Lnlius would have eagerly associated, and whom Cicero would have lovingly described—' Ad initationens sui vocet alios ; ut sere splendove aninace et vita sum, sicut speculum, pwibeat cisibus.'" Against one observation pronounced by the Quar terly upon the intellectual incapacity and minis terial fatuity of Lord Rockingham we must protest, as against a view in every way monstrously unde served. It is where the writer says-.." We question whether Lord Rockingham, take him altogether, was not the dullest man whom England ever saw in the rank of First Minister." An opinion alto• gether, we repeat, monstrously undeserved, when it is remembered that in these later times we have had the calamity to witness at the head of affairs a dull man— " Dull—beyond expression—dull," like my Lord Aberdeen. After whom we cannot conceive to ourselves the possibility of any further bathos ministerially. Half-a-dozen other articles yet remain to rejoice the readers of the Quarterly. Foremost among these in position, and perhaps in value, is the biographical and critical paper on the subject of Peter Daniel Huet, his life and opinions. Huet, the editor of " Origen," and better still and far more memorable, the originator or projector of the famous Delphin Classics !—the originator or projector of them at least in companionship with the Duke of Montausier. A contribution upon the subject of " School Sermons," together with one upon the recently published "Cald well Papers," a sort of minor sequel to the celebrated " Pastore Letters," known so well and valued so highly by every student of English historic literature, follow in duo course. Subsequently to which come—s philanthropic disquisition upon " The Charities and the Poor of London ;" an ingenious criticism upon certain lately compiled "latin Dictiona ries ;" and, to close our catalogue of the contents of the current number of the Quarterly, a brilliant essay apon " Men of Science," as sketched by the master hands of Arago and Brougham.
