The 4th, including the Buffs and 71st, the 2,1 and the Light Divisions, with B G and P batteries of Artillery suffered most ; but as yet the disease can hardly be said to exist in the cavalry, Ist and 3d Divisions, nor in the siege train. This exemption, however, there is reason to apprehend, will not be of a n y very ing duration. Hitherto the disease has chiefly attacked new corners, and many of the cases have occurred when the men were either actually in the trenches, or immediately after their return from duty in them. This may have been owing to the combined causes of fatigue and local miasma, but to neither in particular ; for we find the men of the B G and P batteries, who never go into the trenches at all, and who are not overworked, have suffered nearly as much as any others. All the men attacked in them, with I believe one exception, had recently arrived in the Crimea. In the P battery two of the men at tacked bad only just landed; one I think had been about 24 and the other 36 hours on shore when they were attacked, and in both the disease followedintensperance. The weather, which for some days previous to the 10th had been extremely warm, was followed on that day by heavy rain which continued, alternating with periods of dense fog during the whole of the 11th and 12th, but it has now cleared up again, and the temperature has been considerably reduced. The Buffs and 71st, which had only just marched up to their new encamping-ground before the rain set in, were ill prepared for such an occurrence ; and their tents, which had not been properly trenched, were speedily flooded.* The 48th Regiment, in the 4th Division, and the 2d battalion of the Royals, in the 2d Division, both newly arrived regiments, had been a few days longer in camp and were somewhat better prepared, but the sites of their camps are not good, nor are those of the Buffs or 71st either. The 48th are on a level piece of ground, where the 63d hospital establishments were in the winter ; the soil is tenacious and the water lodges in pools, and remains until evaporated by the sun's rays. The Buffs and 2d battalion of the Royals are on low ground between the 2d and 4th Divisions, with the same disadvantages as the 48th ; the 71st occupy rather better ground, as their tents are pitched just where the ground begins to rise to form the bill on which the huts of the 14th and 39th have been built ; but I think all these regiments might be removed with great advantage to their health to the higher and drier ground, and I hope, from the short distance, without any very material detriment to their military position. The health of the Ist Division continues to improve, and the number of fever cases in the 79th and 93d is considerably reduced. The men are well supplied, and the duties and fatigues comparatively light. In the left Giese train and attack some cases of low continued fever have occurred, arising, Mr. Elliot the Superintending Surgeon thinks, from fatigue in the heat of the day and exposure to the attacks at night. Two serious accidents have occurred during the week, one requiring amputation of the thigh, on account of cannon shot injury of the knee; the other an injury of the foot, occasioned by the same shot, requiring removal of the heel and a bone adjoining it, called the astragalus. These injuries occurred on the 7th, and are both doing well. There is another interesting case in the hospital of the left siege train, where the greater part of the lower jaw on both sides was carried away by a cannon shot. This case, under the able and indefatigable care of Staff- Assistant -Surgeon A. H. Taylor, is rapidly proceeding to a cure ; and, by judiciously drawing the parts toge ther, the deformity will by no means be so considerable as might be imagined. The man is now walking about, and though he as yet requires to be fed through a tube, he is able to smoke his pipe. The Cavalry Division is improving in health. There are fewer fever cases ; and the man of the 13th Light Dragoons, who last week was considered in a hopeless state is, I am glad to say, progressing favourably. The 10th Hussars is the only regiment in the Cavalry Division that has anything like a heavy sick list, and they are suffering from dysentery contracted in Egypt, and kept up by sleeping on the ground here after the comforts of Indian barrack life. In the 2d Division, febrile complaints still continue to be the most numerous class of diseases, but bowel affec tions are becoming more common, and spasmodic cholera has made its appearance • e i g hteen cases have occurred during the week, of which seven proved fatal. In the 3d Division, although there is no marked diminution in the number of sick, the decreased mor tality marks a mitigation in the form of fever that is prevailing. The mortality this week is only half what it was last week. 4th Division—Cholera has made its appearance in this division during the week, and thirteen cases have oc curred, seven of which died, and four of them belonged to the 48th Regiment. On the night of the 11th the Russians made a sortie, and 1 officer and 5 men of the 68th were killed, and 22 men were wounded—amongst the latter is a case of musket bullet lodged in the brain. The man must have been shot from above, as the ball entered the upper part of the head and lodged. The trephine was applied and several spiculi of bone,that had been driven down, removed, but the ball wry so deeply embedded in the brain it could not be discovered. He is still alive, but there is little or no hope of his ultimate recovery. LIGHT DIVISION. In this division, as in all others, fever is the prevalent disease, but only two deaths have occurred from it dur ing the week. Seven men have died from wounds and two of cholera one in the 77th and the other in the 23d Regiment. Fifty , five cases of gun-shot wounds were ad mitted during the week, the greater portion of them fresh wounds. Of the seven deaths that occurred, one was a wound of • the lung, one a wound of the abdomen, in chic h the small intestines were wounded ; one a frac ture of the skuil by a musket ball, another a severe fracture of the thigh and ankle by the bursting of a shell, besides bullet wounds through both arms There was a second case of injury of the head, as well as a second of injury of the lungs. The seventh death is not detailed. Every precaution is being taken to remove nuisances from the camps and their neighbourhoods, and to im prove their sanitary condition, as well as that of the locality, and in this the sanitary commissioners sent out from Eugland afford their cordial assis ALL, tance.—l have, e s St, J. H Inspector-General of Hospitals. To Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., Commandine-in-Chief. * The camps of the Buffs, 48th, and 71st have all been changed to the only available sites, but to a greater distance to where their services will be required ; and it is altogether problematical what degree of benefit may be derived. All the ground is now dry. Although the weather was beautiful when these regiments encamped, the rain came on with its usual suddenness and violence, causing the mud to be nearly a foot that must be deep ovseen the w h o le surface of the country, in a manner to be believed. They bad no time to intrench ls their tents, although they were suppl with the proper too. JAMES Stumm, Chief of the Staff.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, closed firmly, with an upward tendency in prices. The sales were estimated at 20,000 to 25,000 bales (2,000 of which wore taken for export, and 11,000 on speculation), comprising 400 Pernam and Ma ranham at sd. to 7d., 400 Bahia at did., 200 Egyptian at did. to 70., 5,000 Surat at 3id. to 51d., and 100 Sea Islands at 11d, to ls. 4d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was very active, and prices of all the leading stocks advanced. Letters from Birmingham respecting the iron trade mention that sellers are realising ss. to 10s. per ton advance upon the prices obtained last month, and most of the works were affording con siderably increased employment. It is stated that the production of raw metal is reduced below the requirements of consumption, so that higher quo tations may be expected. The New York money market is described in the advices received by the Atlantic as being in a plethoric state, and the bankers found a difficulty to obtain good bills. Stocks were rather active, but the market exhibited an unsettled appearance. During the week to May 11 there was an excess of imports over exports amounting to 873,380 dollars. The Californian accounts report the markets as being dull, and the prices low. Those engaged in trade continued to complain bitterly of the exces sive supplies of merchandise which had been forced into San Francisco, and it is confidently asserted that there is a sufficiency of almost every article to supply the local requirements for two years to come, so that the prospects of a revival of business are not very cheering. The diggings were yielding satis factorily, but miners were unable freely to obtain coin for their gold, as coin was so scarce in the State. The Kern River diggings were still attract ing large numbers, and supported their high cha racter of productiveness. Accounts from the Baltic state that a complete panic prevailed in the Russian ports, and even at St. Petersburg there was a talk of a probable at tack by the allied fleets, which had penetrated far into the Gulf of Finland much sooner than was expected. The inhabitants of Revel had taken to flight very generally, carrying with them as much of their property as possible ; but the German and Dutch merchants at Riga are stated to have large stocks of grain and oil seeds in the magazines, which would be liable to destruction in the event of a bombardment. A n umber of rich families had come to Hamburg for safety. The enlistment for the Anglo Foreign Legion had proceeded so openly, and with such success, that the Senate at Hamburg had ordered a great many parties from various German States, who were suspected of an intention to enlist, to leave the city, and the authorities at Altona had seized a boat, with several on board, bound for Heligoland. The Russians appear to apprehend an attempt on our part to land at Wyborg, but they have immense military forces stationed at different points, and have sunk vessels and stones, especially off Riga, to impede the navigation. Advices from Madrid mention that the commis sion upon the Badget had decided by a small ma jority, in favour of a loan of 200,000,000 reals, partly voluntary and partly forced, to be reim bursed in 4 instalments from the proceeds of the national properties, with interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. Unless M. Madoz obtains a larger majority in the Cortes, however, it is feared he will resign. The letters from India and China by the over land mail are expected in town on Wednesday, and there will be Adelaide dates of March 25. .

The English Stock market has been exceedingly buoyant, and the cheering news from the Crimea, with the satisfactory change in the weather, all conduce to the improvement. Consols have been 91i to 921 for transfer, and since 921 I. For the —' July account they have been 92g Bank Stock 100 is firm at 209 to 209. East India Stock has been 100 at 235. The Omnium is up to 3i and 41 premium, 100 and the Annuity is at 161. Exchequer Bills are 15s. to 17s. premium. Foreign Stocks have been very quiet. Turkish Bonds have been 781 to 79, and since 79i and 80. Spanish 3 per Cents. bring 371 to 38, and the New Deferred 18i. The Committee's Certificate is at 4. Mexican Bonds have been a shade firmer, viz., 22 to Brazilian Small Bonds are at par. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 71; Mexi can, 22 to 221 ; Peruvian, 67 to 69 ; ditto Three per Cents., 47 to 49 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 42 to 44 ; Russian Five per Cants., 98 to 100 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 to 90 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18i to 1.84 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 37i to 38 ; Ditto Certificates, 4 to 41 ; Ditto Passive, Si to 4. Railway Shares have been favourably influenced by the buoyancy in the Funds, but there is not a large business doing. Grand Trunk of Canada Shares are heavy ; Paris, and Lyons, and Madras are highef.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the midst of the terrible humiliation and general sadness caused by aristocratic dishonesty, inca pacity, and misrule, perhaps no one circumstance is cal culated, as food for contemplation, to make the philoso pher more melancholy than the evident increase of power in the House of Commons which the narrow Exeter-hall spirit is obtaining—a spirit adverse to all rational enjoyment, and ever ready, with the most un christian bitterness, to attempt to enforce religion by act of Parliament. lam ono of those who hold that the philosophy of life is innocent enjoyment, and that it is an insult to the spirit of an all-wise and all-merciful Creator to attempt the enforcement of observances that become, by and through such enforcement, mere hollow forms, devoid of all true associative feeling. Law can not make religion; yet the " saints" are for ever craving the assistance of its strong arm; and no greater despots exist than those who are wont to meet in the Strand, at " The hall where bigots rant, and cant, and rave, And laud each other face to face." So sang Tom Hood of this same Exeter-hall, and never breathed man with a stronger contempt for the Mrs. Grundy school of religionists than he had. Sunday is, sir, emphatically, the poor man's only day for relaxation and enjoyment, and no man has any right to prevent him from taking his pleasure on that day, so long as he shall think proper so to do. The poor man does not attempt to interfere with those who choose to go to church ; and he will not, of course, allow the rich church and chapel goers to interfere with him if he chooses to take a trip instead. Yet, if he do not speak out now it will be too late soon, for priestcraft and cant are eagerly at work hand in hand ; they have cut off his dinner and refreshment in the country during the entire Sunday afternoon already, and they will soon attempt, if not effectually stayed in their stupid course, to stop his train and his steam-boat. The passing of the ten o'clock Sunday bill through the house was quite uncalled for, and has proved a most wanton and aggravating an noyance to the poor man, while it dues not in any way interfere with the rich man's convenience. In short, a systematic interference on the part of the rich with the pleasures of the poor has been commenced. This ten o'clock bill is now to be followed by the Sunday Trad ing Bill, and the object of this last bill is to prevent the poor man from obtaining any one thing, either a neces sary or an enjoyment, on the Sunday. Hard work all the week and heavy gloom all the Sabbath, say the "saints "—not so, says the philosopher. If this Sunday Trading Bill be allowed to pass I feel certain that a bill will be introduced next sessions to pre vent the running of excursion trains and steam-boats ; and if that were carried I should not much wonder, if it suited these toleianl - religionists, who would have every body made to think as they do, if they sought the re eitabli,liment of the Curfew. They won't stop the trains altogether, because that would interfere with themselves ; and they won't stop the carriages in Hyde Park, and shut up the West-end clubs, because that would be evincing a spirit which they can never be accused of pos sessing, namely, a spirit of sincerity and justice ; for surely, Sir, we have a right to doubt the sincerity of those who prescribe for the use of others that which they do not apply to their own cases. The poor man has as much right to buy his beer and his tobacco on the Sun day as the rich man has to ride in his carriage and em ploy his coachman and footman ; and the rich must take care not to provoke the poor man too much, or he may in his turn interfere with the rich. It is well to tell these narrow-spirited Mrs. Grundys in the House of Commons that their proceedings make them stand in the contempt of every thinking man. " 'Tis too much proved, that, with devotion's visage And pious action, we do sugar o'er The devil himself." What right has any man to say to me, " Ah, you may go into the country for fresh air ; but if it be on Sunday afternoon, when I am dining on made dishes that have kept half-a-dozen servants at work to prepare, I'll take good care that, being a poor man, you ought to go to church to be taught how to behave to the rich ; you shall not have any dinner at all." Why, Sir, one almost has a contempt as great for those who obey such laws as fur those who make them. Fuller says, "Trust not him that seems a saint," and he is right. When do those who advocate, by the mea sures I have mentioned, the treating of men like chil dren, and who do all this specially to insult the poor ; when do they, I say, curtail themselves, by legislation, of one single convenience or luxury? If they had heard, what I have math, it my business to hear, the indignant complaints against these measures, they would be rather startled at their tone, and they might, perhaps, be brought to question the policy of being the Mime diate and want in causes of such utterances. I have heard such toasts calmly given out, concerning the voters for such bills, as would rather astonish them, eculd they also hear them. If the poor desire any legislative interference with their customs and habits they will make that desire known ; but it is sheer impertinence to make laws in the spirit of old women and canting bigots to control them without their having any voice, or b e i ng i n way consulted in the matter. Th ese S unday bills haveany little effect upon any but quite the poor. Personally, I never knew any such acts th a t I could not, always have, and will not always, break and eva d e. Lavattr declares ' that "Everything may be mimicked by hypocrisy, but humility and love united," and it's little enough of humilityor love the dictatorial Grundys have in all truth. One would think that hatred of oppression and dis content were the proper feelings to arouse on the Sab bath, and that such feelings were infinitely better than a cheerful and pleasurable enjoyment of a life given to be enjoyed. Hotel and tavern keepers had better look to it, as the people have been driven to a remedy within their own hands. I myself know of six poor men's clubs upon the principle of the Reform and the Carlton, and they can not be legally closed without closing the West-end ones also ; and I hear, too, that the cabmen are about to establish the like houses, and no doubt this system will spread rapidly into adoption. Such houses are per fectly legal ; they cannot be put down, and will un doubtedly prove a serious injury to the publicans. Lord Grosvenor arid Lord Ebrington will find, perhaps, next election, that their aristocratic care for the poor man is not appreciated by him. In conclusion, sir, I cannot do better than finish with a few lines from " Hood's Ode to Rae Wilson"—an ode that ought to be read by all the Agnewites. The greater number of this class "Think they're pious, they're only bilious, And study in their sanctum supercilious To frame a Sabbath Bill." Bat they never allow the public to forget for a moment that " The saint alone his preference retains For bills of penalties and pains, Auci marks his narrow code with legal rigour l" I am, sir, your obedient servant, TRAVELLER. 22 - 23 4 -4/ 81 -8/ 14 - 131 15i - 16 8 t 11 86 - 88 63f - 6i4 14 - 15 8 • - 10 4 - ii 54 - 64 14 - 111 - 12 33 3b 22 24 76 li 57 59 2d par 19 20 68 70 92 41 931 78 80 tts 97 —c9 8 7i • 68 1 58 62 717 7 5' 6 - 8 6 • 8 79 sal 7 - 8 100 102 101 —101 i id par id 83i 8 81 a I 9 • 1 8 7 d l ~ .... soil 251 26i 7i Si _ ... 72a 721 ••• 41 - 43 10 - 8 - 2 ... - ... 50 - 52 2 .. iOil 744 —7 6 i 6A 6 ,1 4 3: 1 134 —. 1 4 50t 50 , 48 50 d par ia 1 ti t i r 1. d rar 28 - 30 161 - 1 03 67 - 69 46 - 48 13 - 14 61 - 62 28i -29 i 6 - 3 3 - 1 -- 40 ... .... .. 20 2 3i - 4i 22 - 24 7 - 8 'aid•l 100 ' kberdeen 8 , 9,.mbg.

CORN EXCHANGE. The demand for wheat in most of tha country markets held on Saturday was in a very sluggish state, yet no mate rial change took place in the quotations. Barley and most other spring corn, including flour, met an inactive inquiry. Advices from New York, to the 16th inst., state that flour had declined 121 to 25 cents per barrel, and that grain was drooping in price. The continental markets continue firm. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 35,604 quarters of wheat, 12,057 barley, 40,733 oats, 6,790 beans, 1,049 peas, 1,262 tares, 15,383 linseed, 3,169 rapeseed, 777 sundry seeds, 2,700 sacks and 25 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market, this morning, coastwise, was very moderate, and the arrivals by land carriage were again small. Notwith standing that the show of samples was rather limited, the demand for all kinds of wheat, of home prodice, arising chiefli from several large cargoes of foreign having g one direct into millers' hands, was very inactive, and some time elapsed ere any business took place. When sales took place prices were rather easier than on this day so'n night, the decline being in some instances about I.s. per quarter. . . _ We were well supplied with foreign wheat, but there was a deficiency of really fine samples. A very limited business was transacted in all descriptions, yet we have no change to notice in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were rather neglected. The supply of barley was considerably larger than on this day se'nnight, yet the trade ruled steady, and prices were well supported. There was a moderate sale for malt at last week's quota tions. The supply of oats was good, yet all kinds were in fair request, at full prices. _ _ We had a moderate inquiry for beans on former terms. Peas changed hands slowly at late rates. The flour trade was dull, yet the quotations were well maintained. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There , was rather a large supply of foreign beasts in to• day's rrLE.rket ; but the show of foreign sheep was limited. The wrivals of beasts fresh up this morning from our owu gr. &zing districts were seasonably extensivo, and in excellel xt condition. As the attendance of buyers was very m orlerato, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the qw ot:Ltions obtained on Monday last of 2d. per. Sibs.

COURT OF CHANCERY. The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's inn, to-day. MEYNELL V. SURTEES. The further arguments on this part-heard appeal were resumed and occupied his lordship the whole day. The case came before his lordship upon appeal from the judgment of Vice-Chancellor Stuart dismissing the plaintiff's bill, but without costs. The bill was filed by several of the directors of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company against Mr. Surtees, who was the purchaser of certain lands in the county of Durham from a person named Ord, the object of the bill being to obtain the specific performance of an agreement alleged to have been entered into by Mr. Ord with the Derwent Iron Company, whose interest the plaintiff now had, to grant to the plaintiffs way leave over the lands in question, upon which a railway had been con structed, the defendants contending that no binding agreement had been entered into, and that before the completion of the possession the offer of Mr. Ord had been retracted. (Before the Lords Justices of Appeal•) LORD KENSINGTON V. BOUVERIE-JUDGMENT. The Lord;3;;;;;;ve judgment to-day on the case, which was argued sometimes since. The case came be fore their lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Master of th e Rolls, affirming the cert i f i cate o f hi s chief clerk, finding that the property enjoyed by the present Lord Kensington was not chargeable with the arrears of interest of the sum of 20,0001. raised upon it by the late lord. The late Lord Kensington was entitled to considerable property in the neighbourhood of Kensing ton, called the Kensington Estate, subject to a mort gage of 6,0001. to Lord Braybrooke. By his marriage settlement he was entitled to charge the property to the extent of raising the sum of 20,0001. That sum had been raised by the late lord, and the benefits to be derived from it, together with the interest, had been assigned by him to the defendant. 'Upon the late lord's death there was a considerable arrear of interest which the defendant claimed from the present noble possessor of the property ; that claim was resisted by him on the ground that he could be only called upon to pay the in terest since his father's death, and he filed the present bill for the purpose of redeeming the mortgage for the 20,0001. upon the payment of that sum and the interest since his father's death. The Master of the Rolls made a decree in favour of the claim of the present Lord , Kensington, and hence the present appeal. The Lords Justices, after going at some length into the case, stated their opinion to be that, although the income derived from the -Kensington estate was not sufficient to pay the interest on the mortgage of Lord Braybrooke, and the 20,0001. raised by the late Lord Kensington, still that in the interest of the latter sum there was a charge upon the corpus of the estate, and must be paid by the present possessor. Their lordships therefore would make a decree for the redemption of the mortgage for 20,0001. upon the payment of the interest, directing at the same time an account to be taken of the interest due upon that sum at the time of the death of the late Lord Ken sington. Counsel were requested to draw up the decree and submit it to their lordships on the next day they sat. Their lordships will sit in the Privy Council to-morrow. In the Rolls and Vice-Chancellors Kinclersley and Wood's Court nothing of interest occurred. The Vice-Chancellor Stuart did not sit to-day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Alderson, Platt, and Martin.) The court was occupied to-day in bearings upon the special paper, but up to the time our report was des patched nothing of general interest transpired. Baron Parke sat at Nisi Prius in the Lords Justices' Coart. The case of Berchi v. Maple, which was partly heard on a previous day, being an action for trespass on trover, was resumed, and was expected to occupy the attention of the court during the whole of the day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief-Justice Campbell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton.) IN RE -, AN ATTORNEY. Mr. Lush applied for a rule calling on an attorney, residing at Grinstead, to deliver his bill of costs, his receipts and payments, and pay over the balance relative to the following transaction : —The applicant, an illiterate man, applied to the attorney to raise him 4001. to pay off a mortgage of 3001. and interest. The attorney raised the money, and paid off the amount and interest, and an application was made to him by applicant for the balance, which was at first met by a variety of excuses, but subsequently he was paid 201. the attorney promising to render an account. After that applicant called on him and told him he must have 501., on which the attorney told him if he would accept a bill for 501. he would get it discounted. On the bill becoming due he applied to the attorney, and remon strated with him for not having rendered him an account when he paid Lim G. Some time after applicant received a letter from the attorney appointing a time for the set tlement of the account, but instead of making out a pro per account, informed the applicant that with the 50/. bill he was indebted to him 401., and obtained from him a promissory note for that amount. The 501. bill applicant considered was given in settlement of his account, but at the end of last year to his great surprise he had suddenly put in his house executions for the 501. and 40/. bills, and the whole of his furniture sold. Rule granted. GILLESPY V. THOMPSON AND OTHERS. Mr. Watson Q.C., showed cause against a rule ob tained last term for a new trial on the ground of the verdict in this case being against the evidence. The action; which was tried at the last assizes at New castle-on-Tyne, before Mr. Baron Parke, was an action upon a charter party. The vessel in. (ideation, about 460 tons burthen, was to load a cargo of coals at Sunderland, to proceed to Constantinople for orders, and deliver her cargo at Varna, or some other port in the Black Sea. The vessel being three masted was obliged to have her larboard shrouds and backstays loosened to take in her cargo, and was in that state taken into the roadstead to be put all atant, with a part of her crew and a number of Jumpers on board, and a pilot, who at the time was intoxicated, when a gale came on, and she was driven on shore, every soul on board, except one, being drowned. The declarition stated that the defendant wrongly and improperly sent the vessel to sea, in an unseaworthy state as regarded the vessel and crew, whereby she was lost, which the de fendant by his pleas denied. Mr. Knowles, Q.C., having been heard in support of the rule, The Court directed its discharge. THOMPSON AND OTHERS V. GILLESPY. This was a cross action for the freight, and the point reserved for their lordships' opinion was the sailing of the ship. Mr. Baron Parke, at the trial, held there had been no sailing within the meaning of the charter party, and it was contended by the defendant that the taking the vessel into the roadstead was not a sailing, but that she was removed there to get her all right, and procure a crew with which to sail. The bill of lad ing had not been signed. The learned counsel had not concluded their argu ments when we went to press. uawy rd sneaeedTfsdoe hnroc e GUOVE V. nAs2n. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman and a Common Jury..) This was an action to recover possession of a hors It hearse, mourning coach, and some harness, seized by tb e sheriff of Surrey unfler an execution. Mr. Chambers,,Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were far tb e plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. Quain for tb.e intiff in this action carried on business !in eideatptnaltalstreet, Covent-garden, and it appeared that I i acquainted with a person named Burridge, • e undertaker, asionaliy of to trn assisti ou-s w tr i :bet, small Borough, ioan g el a certain s oviihrtiora t o a n l e3 l l o , r . . vious to the last advance, sold to t a h n e m p s . l h a h n ini other horse, which were removeat from eur question, ut irorni d,advancingg with , si t ' ain il ti n ff rr th id e g a e r ' ti P e n le:s premises to those ' of a person named Perry, the plaintiff paying the expenses on them up to the time of th e i r seizure— oßeurrid ge, however, with the, consent of the pl a i n tiff , iouau y using them. In. April last th e Sheriff of Surrey ad the ert sheriff's fron i a person. ofao named Baker aga i nst Burridge, seized all th e goo d s, w i th the an exception of a black mare, on which the plaintiff claimed them as his. The sheriff's officer then said he had seized the black mare also, when the plaintiff applied for permission to enlarge his claim, but as the expense of doing so would be more than the mare was worth he abandoned it. The ques tion for the jury was the validity of the plaintiff's claim. The case was not concluded when we went to press. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wighttnan.) There were only two cases on the paper to-day for hearing, and Which were devoid 01 any publionterest. His lordship will sit tomorrow at Guildhall, for the rial of Nisi Prius cases. ..---"' ,4gs: oie'no luta der to to or r Gen, r elle' 3t
