VIEWS OF THE CAPTURE OF AMOY. Ackermann, London, 1842. Mr. Ackermann has just published three Plates, illustrative of the capture of the city of Amoy on the coast of China, by the combined British forces under Admiral Parker and General Sir Hugh Gough. The original sketches are by Lieutenant Crawford, of the Navy, and the en gravings, which are taken from them, and are 'coloured with great skill and nicety, are by a gentleman named Papprill, who has executed a somewhat laborious task quite in a con amore spirit. The first view represents the suburbs and trading junks of Amoy, which are drawn up, apparently, at anchor, close under the walls of the city. On the heights immediately behind, which command Amoy, the Forty-ninth Regi ment is stationed, awaiting the favourable mo ment to storm the beleaguered place. To the extreme left of the spectator appear the attack ing batteries on Kolonsoo Island ; and in front, scarce a hundred yards off the hostile British squadron, is a solitary Chinese junk, pursuing, to all appearance, the peaceful occupation of fish ing, Just as if there were no danger from its close proximity to the foe. This is the only defect we can find in the Plate ; and it is a defect of design, not execution. Doubtless the fishing junk, with its tall, taperi::g masts, its furled sails, and its quaintly rigg( d crew, consisting of two men luxuriating in wondrous breadth of hat and length of pig -tail, adds to the picturesque effect of the sketch, contrasting, as it does, with the British vessels close by; but we would pat it to the ingenious artist, whether the introduction of a Chinese junk in such a place, and engaged in such a pacific occupation, at the very time when it is within the range of the enemy's guns, is not a little at variance with probability Effect is certainly a desirable point to achieve in a picture, but it should always be in accordance with, and subordinate to, truth, and not be pro duced in its despite. The second Plate shows us the Wellesley and the Blenheim, both seventy four gun-ships, in the act of attacking a range of heavy granite batteries, which run for a consi derable distance along the water's edge, and wear a truly formidable aspect. The drawing of the Wellesley is very graceful and seaman-like, and despite her enormous size, she seems to float as buoyantly on the still, unwrinkled surface of the sea, as though she were no weightier than cork. In the third Plate, we see the Neruesis, - steamer, just preparing to disembark Sir Hugh Gough and the soldiers of the Eighteenth Regiment; in the offing appear several Government transports; and in the distance, on the mainland, the view is bounded by lofty, pre cipitous eminences, which add greatly to the ef fect of the scene. Judging from these clever graphic sketches, we should say that the scenery in the immediate neighbourhood of Amoy was highly picturesque and romantic in its character.

We are convinced of this by the manifest tokens of hatred and fear of which we have spoken, because we know that rancorous hatred and fear are passions wholly alien to the amiable and gallant nature of the French race. There may be a little envy ; but among such a people as the French, envy will rather take the direction of honourable emulation than that of the base passions with which too many of the French journals plainly try to mix it. Secondly—in the ultra- Romanist- fanaticism of one Paris journal—in the pro-Russian servility of another, the hire ling organ of the hireling politician of the Czar—in the furious Republicanism of a third, and so en, we can find a sufficient explanation of the ill-will-to England, and a no less sufficient proof that this is not derived from the people of France, who are certainly neither fanatical ItGinanists, idolators of Russian ascendancy, nor admirers of the anarchy into which a republic would once more plunge 34 millions of.people. these circumstances the rule for a new trial cannot be grant( d. for the sum of 121. 3s. 6d., to be draNlri hYtheyounger Nibbel upon the elder, and that the accept ance was accordingly written by the defendant in their presence. On the- other hand, the younger Nibbel swore there was only one bill drawn and accepted at the time, and that he had never be fore seen a bill of exchange, and had had never drawn any but that one. The Jury found for the defendant, and a rule having been obtained to upset the verdict the argument came on today. The Court on read ing over the evidence, and comparing the bills, ob served that the latter was not written at the same time, in the same house, as was alleged for the plain tiff, and other circumstances connected with the stamp caused the Jury to find rightly for the de fendant. THE NEW CITY LAW COURTS. The following is the Report made to the Corpora tion of London by Mr. Tite, the architect of the Royal Exchange, and the City Surveyor, relative to the New Law Courts to be erected in he Guildhall. It is believed that the buildings will be shortly com menced : DISMORE V. COX AND OTHEIS. This was an action brolightbi — the publisher of the Tablet newspaper against Mr. Cox, one of the proprietors of the Tablet, and several other persons. The case originated in the disputes which had arisen between Mr. Lucas and Mr. Cox, the proprie tors of the Tablet, and which had ended in " TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE COMMITTEE FOR LETTING the starting of the True Tablet by Mr. Lucas. The defendant Cox, in order to get at the list of sub scribers to the Tablet, had got into the office, with Mr. lanes, his attorney, and other defendants, had broken open Dismore s desk, and taken from it the book containing the names of the single subscribers to the Tablet, and also the book containing the names of the Indian subscribers, which amounted to two only, together with a box of cigars and some other matters. The Jury had returned a verdict for the defendant, and Mr. Thesiger had obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was a perverse one, and against evidence. The COURT having heard Mr. Platt show cause against the rule on the part of the defendants, ordered the rule for a new trial to lie made absolute. ARREST TN MESNE PROCESS.—LAMONI V. IFEE._ THE CITY LANDS. " GENTLEMEN,—The Committee having determined by their resolutions of the 9th of August last, to refer to us the order from the Court of Common Council to consider the propriety of taking down the present Courts of Justice in Guildhall-yard, and of erecting new Courts in lieu thereof; also to procure plans and designs for such new Courts, with an estimate of the expense of carrying the same into effect.' We now have the honour to present plans and designs in ac cordance witl4 that order, and to submit the follow ing remarks and explanations : " In considering this subject, the first and most ob vious claim is the accommodation required for the three Courts of Law themselves. l IE CHIN E S E. As great an insight into the Manners, Habits, and Cus toms of this most singular people, may be gained by a few hour's attentive inveitigation of the SPLENDID COLLECTION in the SALOON at HYDE PARK•CORNER, as could be acquired by a voyage to China. This is now brought home to our doors at an expense of 2s. 6d.—The latter could be acquired only by an outlay of seve ral hundred pounds. The arrangements in the Museum are ne4c and easily under stood, and no expense has been spared to make it a g reeable to visitors. Children under 12 years Is. Open from Ten till Ten P. M. SECONDARIES' COURT, IVov. 25. IIAYTER, V. LAUS. The plaintiff in this case is a smith and bell-hanger, and the defendant a bill-broker. The defendant fur nished a house at Kingston-hill, in 1841, which he let to Lord Brougham, but as his Lordship left soon after, the house was let to Sir John and Lady Dodson. When Sir John Dodson looked over the house, he said he must have a bell put up, and several repairs done. The gardener, who was left in care of the house, had been directed by the defendant to have everything done that might be required by Sir John and Lady Dodson ; •he therefore sent to the plaintiff to do the work. He did so, and the bill was sent in to the defendant, but he refused to pay the whole amount, stating that Sir John Dodson had ordered the bell, and he must pay for it. In consequence of this the present action was ingtitUtea - - Susan Sleigh stated that she was the wife of the gardener to Mr. Laus, and she heard him give her husband directions to do anything Lady Dodson might require. Sir John and Lady Dodson were subpoenaed, and appeared in Court, but they were not called. The LEARNED SECONDARY summed up the evi dence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff for the full amount claimed. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CIIA4VVERY, Not. 25. BOOTH V. CRESWICK-JUDGMENT. The LORD CUINCRLLOR gave judgment to-day in his appeal, affirming the decision of the Court below. In this case Mr. KELLY moved that the defendant . Ifee, who was the A uditor of Accounts of the Corpo ration of Dublin, and who had been arrested on a bill of exchange for 887/. 6s. 61, on a warrant from Mr. Justice Wigiltman, issued on an affidavit, stating that the defendant was about to quit England for France, should be discharged out of custody„ en the ground that he was about to go not to France but to Ireland, where his property was, and where he could be sued upon the bill of exchange if it should be found neces sary.

IN RE TIIE RIRMINGIIA.III GRAMMAR senoor. Mr. Rom. applied this morning in this case for the direction of the Court, calling upon the master to approve of a scheme for the future management of the school. From the statement of the Learned Counsel, ' it appeared that the funds of the institution some time since were greater than the expenditure, and a sum was given towards lighting and watching the town. At the present time there was another surplus of 3001. in the hands of the Treasurer, and it was now proposed that on the entrance of a scholar a somewhat larger fee should be required, when, with the accumulation of the fund, an addition might be made to the salaries pf the masters of the schools. The Learned Counsel contended that this plan would be the most beneficial mode of applying that surplus fund. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that fur ther affidavits should be made, before he directed a reference to the Master. The motion was conse quently ordered to stand over. This being the last day of Michaelmas Term, the Court proceeded with the hearing of appeal motions. V sj-- ES - I T ERN LIFE ASSURANCE PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY. LONDON, Nov. 26, 1842.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Times this morning commences an article on the successful close of the Chinese war, with the following " amusing" remark :—" There is something," says our Contemporary, "rather amusing in the various aspects under which the late English successes, especially in China, are viewed by that large body of writers whose duty it is to 'comment upon them." So far as the Tory Journals are concerned, we rather think they find their daily " duty" to comment upon these g?eat achievements anything but delightful. If there be anything "amusing" in their employment, we never saw amusement pursued with so evident a feel, ing of dislike. The contortions of the writers_ ndicate far more pain than pleasure. The process of " eating dirt," in which they are now engaged, however neces sary in their changed position, is evidently not .to their taste ; nor can the forced smack of the lips, and the assurance that the flavour is " very nice," conceal the fact that it is ruy-ther nauseous. The Times has done its best to extricate itself and party from the unpleasant predicament in which they are placed. The ill-advised onslaught made by the Tories in Parliament, under the leadership of Sir J. Gra ham, on the 10th of April, 1849, when the Right Hon. Baronet moved a resolution expressly condem natory of the conduct of the Melbourne Ministry with respect to the war with China, which was de feated by a very small majority, followed, as it was, by the Duke of Wellington's memorable refusal in the House of Lords to sanction that manifestly fac tious movement—and his Grace's justification of the war they sought to condemn—these Untoward coincidences are matters of record ; as is also Mr.- Pahner's pertinacity in endeavouring to bring the question in another form before the House of Com mons, to the great danger of provoking a yet more stunning reproof from the straightforward Duke. Take the Conservative speeches during that protracted debate, the allusions to the same fruitful source of Tory invective in the "want-of-confidence motions " which were brought forward, and into which the Chinese war, with every imaginable topic on which to hang blame to the Government, were introduced, dilated upon, and distorted, with a view to make out a Case against the Government—all. which topics were duly dwelt upon by the Tory journals in the same tone of fair and candid criticism—and a pretty correct estimate may be formed of the " amusement" which these said public speakers and writers are now called upon, " in their course of public duty," to pursue, when they are required to congratulate the country upon the ." vast," the " in calculably and interminably great, advantages" which may be now fairly anticipated from the very policy they recently employed all their powers to vituperate and condemn. STANDARD. —It is surprising -that men of so much experience and talent as the gentlemen by whom the majority of the Paris Journals are conducted, do not see the necessary inference from their constant railing against England and the policy of England. Thit inference is, that much as they muy hate us, they envy and they fear .us more. Men may, from mere hat red, indulge in occasional expressions of ill-will, but - envy and fear must be added to hatred, in order to sup ply the constant and violent stream of invective which, day by day, and almost hour by hour, the majority of the French journals pour forth against England. This war of invective, if we may call that a war which 'has no reciprocity of injury, is wholly unprovoked. The English journals, re flecting In this very faithfully, we believe, the feel ing of the English people, betray no sentiment of hostility against France ; on the contrary, all of us of all parties anxiously put the most liberal construction of which they will admit upon the nets of our neighbours, and when we must con demn a measure we are careful to relieve the French people from blame, by assigning the measure and its responsibility to' the real author, as in the case of the Thiers war movement, or to maintain a respectful si lence, as we have hitherto done with reference to the origin of the African war. We are satisfied that the miso-England press 'of France does not as faithfully reflect the feeling of the French nation as the press of this country reflects English feeling, or we should not have to make V. SAUNDERS. This was an application by Mr. Toniatio, on the part of the plaintiffs, Count de Lisle and others, for an injunction against the defendant, Saunders, chemist,. of Windmill-lane, Camberwell, to restrain him from using and applying to the purpose of paving public thoroughfares with wood, a certain kind of block, which it was contended was a piracy and infringement of a patent granted to the defendants. The original inventor of the block for which the pa • tent was granted was Count tie Lisle, a native of France, and by hifn conveyed to a person named Hodgson, one of the present plaintiffs. The plan of the Count de Lisle is that used by the Metropolitan Wood-paving Company, under a license from the original inventor and patentees. This plan is the bisection of a cube of wood, laid down in a certain combination of the angles, and this mode of dividing and laying down the blocks had been closely copied by the defendant. Specimens of each plan were ex hibited in Court, accompanied by numerous plans and drawings of sections. Mr. WAKEFIELD, on the part of defendant, con tended that no infringement whatever of the patent had taken place; his client had only done what every one had a right to do ; he had gone to a timber mer chant and bought blocks of a certain shape, and .put . them together according to his own patent, bearing date. subsequently to that of the plaintiff's. By this plan a perfectly horir_mtal platform was produced without an arch, and this. was claimed by the plaintiff's as a novelty, when the same thing could .be done by three other patents, viz., those of Geary, of Steed, and 6f Carew, all dated prior to that of plaintiffs. Another important part of the plan was the combination of the sections but laying down the blocks in that manner could not be called an infringe ment. If any parties were entitled to complain it was not the plaintiffs, but the Metropolitan Wood , paving Company. It appeared from the affidavit of ' Mr. Virtue, that the blocks were imported from Nor way, and part of them purchased by the Metropolitan Company, but it was found that they were not properly made, and they were altered for the purposes of the Company. Other blocks of the same . sort were sold to the defendant, and by him laid down according to his combination, so that from this it appeared that the blocks themselves were not identical. The form of these blocks could not be a patent, since the form itself must be as old as the creation ; nor could the mode of laying them down be called an infringement. These grounds were quite sufficient to warrant the Court in refusing the injunctiOn.:: His HoNoun said a case had been shown quite suf ficient to justify an injunction. The essential matter in Hodgson's patent was the • particular mode of cutting the cube so as to produce a figure necessarily of a definite shape, as the angle must alWays the same. The defendant's block, exhibited beside that of the plaintiff, appeared to correspond ex actly—to be in fact the same t thing. Then the question was, whether that which was called an improvement, was not, in fact, a colourable mode of invading the plaintiffs' patent. To some extent a question of right to the patent was involved. He should grant the injunction, with liberty to the defen dant to bring such an action as he might be advised. Several other motions of no particular interest were disposed of. This is the last day of Term, and the Court does not sit again till the 3d of December. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 25. (Sittings in Banco.) HUNT V. KELPS.—JUDGMENT. Lord DENMAN, seeing Mr. Sergeant Shea in Court, said he would give judgment in this case, in which the Learned Sergeant had some short time since moved for a rule nisi for a new trial. This was an action to recover the amount of a policy of insu ranee against fire. The defendant had pleaded, first, that the fire had happened through the procurement of the plaintiff, and also that he had given a false and fraudulent statement of his loss. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff on the first plea, and for the defendant as to the false and fraudulent statement of loss. The burden of proof being on the defendant, he began, and a great deal of evidence had been given, and among other witnesses examined was a person named Abbott, whose evidence went to show that the plaintiff had given in a false and fraudulent statement of his loss. His evidence, if believed, proved a clear case of false statement. The rule for a new trial had been moved on the ground of misdirection, because Lord Abinger, who tried the cause, had told the Jury that if they believed Abbott, indeed if they did not con sider he was perjured, they must return a verdict for the defendant on the plea of false and fraudulent statement. The Learned Counsel, who had moved for the rule, contended that the Learned Judge ought to have left it to the Jury to say, not merely whether they be lieved the statement of Abbott—not merely whether they. considered him perjured, and his statement wil fully false, but whether he might not have made a mistake which was capable of explanation. The Learned Counsel who had led at the trial, had not made the motion, but the Court was willing to take the facts from Mr. Sergeant Shea, who had derived it from the Learned Counsel. Lord DENMAN, in answer to some explanations made by Mr. Sergeant Shea, remarked that they made no difference in the Court's mode of pro ceeding. We have since (continued the Learned Judge) referred to Lord Abinger, who has reported to us the mode in which the matter of an alleged mis-statement took place. We find that the question of false statement was clearly treated, not only by the Learned Judge, but by the Counsel for the plaintiff, as depending upon the credit that was due to Abbott, and if his evidence was be lieved, the Jury could hardly fail to find that issue for the defendant. The Learned 'Judge began by telling the Jury that he would advise them to find no verdict on the first issue, and on the second issue he expressed his opinion in strong terms; no doubt some of the expressions made use of might have been too strong, but taking it altogethes i , - the meaning of what fell from the Learned ludge un doubtedly is, that he would -advisai.the Jury not to find a verdict on the plea of felony, but unless they thought there were grounds for thinking Abbott guilty of perjury, their verdict must be for the de fendant on the second issue, and in that the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff acquiesced, and it strikes me that this manner of putting the case was the most wise and prudent course that could be adopted. Under Mr. BYLES submitted that, on the defendant's own showing, he wus not entitled to be discharged from custody. Defendant admitted that he was about to quit England, but said he was going to Ireland. Now, as the words of the Act were, that a proof being given to the Judge that a party was about to quit England, the Judge should have the power of issuing a warrant for his arrest. The arrest in this instance was good, for defendant admitted that he had been about to . quit England. Mr. KELLY and Mr. WHATELEY having been heard in reply. The JUDGES gave their opinion seriatim, that the arrest was good. In the course of the argument Mr. Justice WM.. LIANIS stated that in the passing of the Act abolishing arrest for mesne process, the Judges conferred to gether as to the construction to be given to the words " about to leave England," and that they had come to ib an opinion that if it were shown a party was about to proceed from England to Ireland, or Scotland, the Judge had power to issue a warrant for his arrest, and Mr. Justice COLERIDGE stated that he had fre quently issued warrants for the arrest of persons about to proceed to Ireland or Scotland.—Application refused. MANDAMUS.-WALKER V. THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY._ . _ In this case an application had been made to the Court for a rule for a mandamus, calling on the She riff of Middlesex to impanel a Jury to assess the amount of compensation due to the plaintiff for the damage a public-house, of which he was the proprie tor, had sustained from the proximity of the railway. The ease was argued during the present term, and to day the Court gave judgment that the rule for, a man damus must be' made absolute. NEW TRIALS• In the cans of ITetlli.;s --- v. Foster, Simpkinson v. Gardiner, and Harding v. Harper, the rules for new trials were made absolute. BAIL COURT, Nov. 25. • • WEEKS v. PUSINEY. Mr. JAMES moved for a rule to show eauso why the proceedings, judgment, and writ of execution, should not be set aside, and the money returned to the defendant ; and why the costs of the motion should not be paid .by Mr. Hamer. The facts of the ease as disclosed by the affidavits were these Pusiney is an attorney, residing at Stockbridge, and was en gaged as the election agent of Lord Hunting tower, who offered himself as a candidate for the borough of Andove'r. In consequence of Lord Hunt ingtower not being of age, Lord William Paget be came a candidate, and he and Mr. Hamer, an• attor ney, came to Andover in June, 1841. When at Andover they found there was no money to .rneEt the election expenses, and a pr i va te meeting was held to devise Means for procuring the necessary funds. At thiS meeting Hamer proposed that a bill of exchange for 450/. should be drawn by Mr: Pusiney,. accepted by Lord Huntingtower, endorsed by Lord William Paget, and that he would take it to London and get it cashed, and return next day to Andover. The parties agreed in this arrange ment, and gr. Hamer left for London, but did not return as he promised, to Andover. Mr. Pusiney heard nothing of the bill till May, 1842, when an application for payment was made to him by Mr. 11. Valiance. In consequence of this Iblr. Pusiney called upon the plaintiff to explain to him the hardship of the transac tion, when he discovered that he was not a bona fide holder of the bill, and was not th e real plaintiff at all. When .the bill became due it was dishonoured, .and notice, of dishonour was given, which was stated to be written by Hamer himself, at his own office, he having forged the name of Cassidy and Co., bill. ' brokers, residing in Bucklesbury, from whom it was stated to have come. The'affidavits of Lord Hunting tower and Lord W. Paget corroborated these facts. Affidavits 'were also read from two persons named Reading and Winter, stating that Weas, the. plain- St. James's -square, and aft erwar d s i n Pall-mall ; and that he now kept a row gambling-house, tiff, was formerly a waiter, li v i ng a t No. 11, and was not a person in circumstances likely to be come a, bona fide holder of the bill in. question, and that Hamer was in the habit of using his name as a sham plaintiff.—Rule granted.

THE QUEEN V. MARTIN. __ .......____. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why he exercised the office of Councillor for the borough of Leeds. It ap peared that at the last election for the borough there were five candidates for the Nest Ward, and the state of the poll at its close was for Craven, 585 ; Brandley, 547 ; Martin,, 54 3 ; the other two candidates being still lower on the poll. The asses sors, however, struck off, without any exa mination, five votes from the poll of Mr. Brandley, on the ground that those five voted at the previous election in of the burgess roll in the m eantime. Another groun d 1841, for another ward, ther e bei ng no , new revision for the rule was that a voting paper with the name of a person named Baxendel was counted for Martin. There was an affidavit froni Baxendel, stating that he was not in Leeds at all at the time of the election. —Application granted. . - COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 25. I THE CASE OF LORD HUNTINGTOWER. A considerable crowd w as attrac ted to the Court by this noble person being brou g ht u p in custody of a Sheriff's officer, to apply for his disch arge un d er pro tection of his bankruptcy. Mr. Sergeant-BomrAs said that be was instructed • to apply to their Lordships to order the discharge . of Lord Huntingtower from the custody of the Sheriff of Middlesex, by whom b e had be en taken in execg of t6 th t e C h o e u w rt a o s f Bankruptcy, not & a bankrupt, and undert i o execu tion, , notwithstanding that he was a bankrupt, and under tt Ny p i t r h o s t t e a c n t d i o n i n being arrested at the suit of ally of the creditors who proved under the Commission.

Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS—The exe cu ti on i ssue d f rom this Court upon judgment in an action upon a bill of exchange, which was tried at the last assizes; whereas the bankruptcy took place in September, so that the debt must have been incurred - previously to the com mission. The Solicitor who appeared for th e p l a i nt iff s was given an hour by the Court to consider his reply on the part of his client. The case was not again m ention ed in Court, 'but andwe his 1,0 understood rdsh p that was the dis execution arged from_ the custody of the Sheriff. - CURIOUS CASE. - V. NIBUEL. This was an action upon a bill of exchange, to which the defence was that the bill was a f orgery . It was sworn for the plaintiff by a publi can li v i ng i n Clare.market, and anothe r p erso n , "his customer ," that on the 22d of Augmt, 1841, th e d e f en d an t an d his son, being in the house of the publican, requested the latter to write for them the bodies of two drafts The following average prices of Brown or Musco does British Sugars, exclusive of duty, were pub lished in the Gazette of last night : West India 345. 10d. per cwt. East India 3O 3 1 4 Mauritius 35 11 The average price of the three kinds, taken jointly, is 335. Mid. per cwt. The actual weights of sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the 22d inst., accord ing to the returns made upon oath by the sugar bro kers, in compliance with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con. sisted of 12,519 cwt. West India, 4,037 cwt. East India, and 1,139 cwt. Mauritius. About 1,400 cwt. of very dark unsound sugar have been sold in the same week at from 18s. to 19s. per cwt.; these having been classed in the returns as East India unfairly depresses the average price of that kind of sugar, as well as the total average. Generally speaking foreign sugars are ls. per cwt. dearer this week than last ; but white sugar, equal in quality to double refined, manufactured from foreign raw sugar in bond in the British refineries, may be bought to put free on board a British ship at 255. 6d. per cwt. Foreign Muscovado sugars, equal to the average quality of West India sugar, are to be had at 18s. 6d. per cwt., the former being 16s. 4d. per cwt. cheaper than the latter. The total sales of British sugars for the week in Mincing-lane were 17,695 cwt.:; assuming that the sales, added together, at the outports are to the same extent as the weight sold in the London market, the consumers bought 35,390 cwt. of sugar at 335. 103111. per cwt., amounting, in round numbers, to 60,000/. sterling; they might have bought 35,390 cwt. of foreign sugar, equally good, at 18s: 6d. per cwt., amounting to 33,7351., ex hibiting a difference of 26,2651., being the excess Hof . price paid for British sugars, which, added to 210,300/., the same description of gain, for the pre vious three weeks, as shown by The Sun of the 19th instant, gives 236,5651., the value of the sugar mono poly, to the sugar producers, and the cost thereof to the British public, for four consecutive weeks. The Chinese squeeze amounts to twenty-one mil lions of dollars equivalent to 4,366,6661. un doubtedly a large sum of money to be paid in the course of three years ; if the colonial monopolies were abolished, the saving from the fangs of indirect taxation imposed by them upon the consumers in the United Kingdom, would be to a similar amount in one year. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—We under stand that her Majesty the Queen will shortly lay the foundation stone of the Victoria Tower of the new Houses of Parliament. It was expected that her Majesty would have laid the stone previous to the re moval of the Court to Walmer Castle. EXTRAORDINARY SK ATE.—A Bognor boat caught, off Littlehampton, on Sunday morning, a skate which measured six feet over, and weighed nearly two cwt. It is not a little singular that this fish had swallowed a cod of nine pounds weight, which had taken one of the hooks of a cod line, and was in that way made captive. The skate had, by its great strength, removed the line to a distance, so that it took twelve hours to find it. — Brighten Gazette. It is stated, in regard to our great fishing-banks, that the only limit to the supply of fish is bad wea ther ; otherwise any quantity may be caught and brought to market. The late Lord Liverpool was accustomed to state, that at the time the bounties to the herring fisheries were abandoned, he addressed to persons conversant with the trade letters of in quiry as to the quantity which could be supplied. The answers he received from well-informed persons were " Let us know how much you want and you shall have it, no matter the amount." IIAILs STOPPED BY SNOW.—Late on Monday night last and all the day on Tuesday the Counties of Lan _easter, Westmoreland, and Cumberland, were visited :with a• most dreadful snow-storm, accompanied with a strong tempestuous south-east wind, which was so furious that the snow drifted up the railway, between Preston and Lancaster, which delayed the mail train for nearly three hours. However, every possible exer tion having been made to clear the rails, ultimately, with much difficulty, the mail reached Lancaster, and thence to Kendal, meeting with little or no obstruc tion ; but, on approaching Shap Fells, that dreary and mountainous district, commonly called the " West moreland Alps," the snow was so drifted and the storm so boisterous, that the coach was, after upwards of an hour's loss of time, with difficulty got over that wild region, and arrived at Penrith about four o'clock in the afternoon, being near four hours behind its usual time. The weather since has been somewhat more favourable in the north. The workhouse of the Stourbridge union contained on Friday last 250 inmates, being a greater number than at any former period since the formation of the union. The trade in that district is still in a woeful condition.— iVorcester Journal. ALLEGED DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN 15 HOUSES IN BELFAST.—The Belfast police-court was crowded on Monday morning, even to suffocation, in consequence of a trial that was expected to come on, in which two persons, one of whom was understood to be in comfortable circumstances, were charged with having entered into a conspi racy, and made an attempt to set fire to no fewer than fifteen houses, for the purpose of defrauding the County Insurance-office of London. The circum stances of the case are as follow :—On Saturday night last the watchman on Stephen-street station observed fire issuing from some empty houses in that street, and having given the alarm the flames were subdued. On examining the premises, in order to discover the cause of the fire, a quantity of carpenters' shavings and sticks, piled and covered with tar, were found, and amongst these were placed several lighted candles—the entire arranged in the most judicious manner possible for speedy combustion. The houses were insured, and had been occupied by improper per sons, who were dispossessed at the last Quarter Ses sions of Belfast, and since then the premises have been unlet. The houses intended to have been con sumed, had the diabolical arrangement taken effect, belong, we understand, to Hill Hamilton, Esq., from whom they were held on lease by William M‘M;ster. It appeared that the latter individual offered certain sums of money to Samuel Boyle, his own agent, and a carpenter named Nicholl, if they would set fire to the premises in question. Nicholl had, however, after helping to set fire to the houses, and fearing an arrest, turned informer, and was a material witness in the case. M‘Master and Boyle were com mitted to the assizes.—Ulster Times. STRAW BERRIES IN NOVEMBER.—There were brought to our office the other day two or three strawberry stalks, bearing both blossom and fruit, full grown, and perfectly ripe. They grew in Mr. Osborne's garden at Dalsconc, on the Carnsalloch estate.—Gbagew Chronicle. " In the present building there has been sufficient experience of the dimensions required for conveniently conducting the business of the Courts of Queen's Bench and Common • Pleas ; and in Guildhall a like experience of the space necessary for the Court of E xchequer. " To this experience we have added the necessary inquiries as to those at Westminster Hall, and the re sult of all has been to show that the dimensions we have adopted, viz., of 41. 9 k 30. 6 for the Queen's Bench, a similar area for the Court of Common Pleas, and an area of 39. 3 k 28. 9 for the -Court of Ex chequer, would be convenient and sufficient. " In proceeding to study the general arrangements, the Committee is aware that we gave great attention to the question of the possibility of placing any or all of the Courts on the ground floor ; and in order to determine this most important question, we laid be fore the Committee, at their meeting, on the 14th day of September, a series of plans in which the attempt was made to place the Court of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas on the ground floor, and the Court of Exchequer on the one pair floor. The results of this arrange ment upon all the other requisites of the building were thereby made very apparent, and after due and careful examination • and deliberation, the Committee were unanimously of opinion that unless all the Courts were placed on the one pair floor sufficient accommo dation would not be obtained for the public, for the Counsel, the: solicitors, and the witnesses. In this opi nion we beg to add that we entirely acquiesce. " This point being thus determined, we therefore proceeded to consider the further requirements of the plan, and it seemed to us important that the entrance for the Judges should be separate, distinct, and con venient of access; that their approach to their private rooms and Courts should not interfere with the public in any manner, nor be interrupted in any way by them. That, with reference to the Counsel, they should have the means of approaching their robing room, and from that room their several Courts, with out interfering with the public ; and lastly, that the halls, entrance, and staircases fur the public should be light, airy, accessible, and unincumbered. " A short explanation of the plans will, we trust, satisfy, the Committee that these points have been se cured. On the ground floor, then, we propose that the great entrance in Guildhall-yard shall be mainly, if not entirely used by the jury, witnesses, solicitors, and the public. " That the entrance for the Judges shall be from a doorway towards the east end, in Guildhall-buildings, and that the Counsel shall enter on the east side. " The Committee will perceive that the general ar rangements for the public, &c., do not differ much from those previously shown in the plans submitted for altering the Courts, the greatest changes are made as regards the Judges and Counsel, and their access to the Courts themselves. " The entrance for the Judges will be by a hand some doorway fronting the street, into a small hall. This hall has a communication with the general ground floor of the building, by a doorway which can he placed entirely under the control of the usher attend ing the Judges. From this hall a private staircase communicates with a series of rooms on the one pair floor for the Judges, with a private passage, &c. ; and this part of the building, as before stated, is entirely cut off from the rest of the arrangements. The Coun sel obtain access to the Courts by two staircases, also intended to be used by the juries when they retire ; and with these staircases the public have, of course, no right of access. • " In the public entrance we have thought it right to make• the hall, staircases, and vestibule, as open, light, and ample as possible ; a reference to the draw ings and sections, will show that this has been obtained. " It may not be necessary to repeat all the dimen sions of. the various rooms (which a reference to the various plans will • best explain), nor to reca pitulate their .dimensions ; we may, however, shortly state that the rooms for witnesses, solicitors, or con sultation, are seven in number, and that their area in feet superficial is 2,828.0, exclusive of the halls, staircases, and vestibules, and the robing-room. " With reference to the style of architecture adopted in this design, the Committee will recollect that we submitted several sketches for their con sideration. Two or three of these were in what is usually called the Gothic, and one in the style that prevailed at the beginning of the reign of James I. " On due reflection, we are of opinion that the one we have adopted in these drawings will harmonize best with the front of Guildhall as it is, and that if, in future years, the improvements are carried further, it will be more easy to employ façades to the other buildings in this style than in any other. These are the reasons that influenced us in this determination ; at the same time we are satisfied that the façades would be in good taste if arranged in what is gene rally called Elizabethan in England. " We have prepared two elevations, one of the west front in Guildhall-yard, another of that to the south in Guildhall -buildings, and a perspective view which shows the general effect of the whole ; in this latter drawing we have shown the building on the west side of Guildhall-yard slightly modified in its external character, so as to harmonise with the Courts of Law. " We do not, however, intend thereby to suggest that this change must be made, but on ly t o point out how little need be done to give a general character to that building. Again, with o regardefacade is without to the front of Guildhall, though the detail of the precedent, yet the forms are picturesque, and the whole effect th e interior pleasing. of the building we have carried out the style adopted on the outside. The Courts would have level ceilings, executed in imitation of the carved and timber ceilings of the Tudor period. " The ceiling over the entrance-hall and staircase is groined with a fan-groin ; and the remainder of the building, internally, is decorated, so far as decoration is required, or otherwise constructed in accordance with the requirements of Gothic architecture. " By a reference to the plans, the. Committee will see that this design involves the re-construction of nearly all the present building. ,The foundations would, of course, be saved to a great extent, the in ternal walls of the Courts, and perhaps the back, or eastern wall, these being very good, and in their right places, it would be unnecessary to disturb ; but every thing at the back of the Courts must be entirely re constructed, and the two external front walls re-built. " The resolutions of the Court of Common Council apparently point at a total rebuilding; but we, of course, presume that suggestion to be taken with the obvious limitation, if rendered necessary or required by the arrangements of a plan entirely unfettered by existing causes. " We beg to state, before concluding this part of our Report, that, agreeably to your resolutions, design is so arranged as to be adapted to admit of the principles of ventilation recommended by Mr. Day, and approved of by the Court of Common Council. " The only part of the reference to us remaining unnoticed, is the estimated cost of these works. It is obviously unnecessary in the present state of this question to incur the expense of a detailed estimate, derived from detailed working drawings. " We have, however, made sufficient general calcu lations to enable us to advise the Committee, that it could be carried into effect at an expense not exceed ing eighteen thousand pounds.—We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant; (Signed) " W.M.

THE 92D lIIGIILANDERS.—The officers of the above distinguished Regiment gave a sumptuous entertain men t,and afterwards a ball, at Dudhope Castle,last week, on the retirement of Lieut.-Colonel Winchester, ICH., from active service. The houour thus conferred on their commanding officer was in every respect merited, for he has served nearly forty years in that gallant corps, and shared with them the dangers of the protracted war in the Peninsula and at Waterloo. The Colonel was equally beloved both by officers and privates, and his retirement is the source of regret throughout the regiment. FIRE IN OXFORD-STREET.--A fire broke out in the large workshop of Messrs. Jackson and Graham, the extensive upholsterers of Oxford-street, last night, which consumed the whole of the premises. Th e workshops were situated at the back of Oxford-street, and the firemen had considerable difficulty in reach ing the fire with effect. It is supposed t o h ave or o i g r k i n p a e t o e p d i through e in e l eavi n g n g a light the carelessness on the ofe ssnesspre some of I s .the wt broke out at about nine o'clock, and rag ed f or up wards of an hour.

Hutley said, Mr. Wiggins happened to be his landlord, and a kinder man never lived. lie was quite satisfied if all had such landlords they would have no cause to fear the Corn-laws or the tariff, for if they could not live by paying all their rent he would take half, and if they could not live at that he would take nothing, —(Cheers and laughter.) That was the way, as far as the landlord was concerned, to meet the times. He could tell them a pleasing anecdote or two of that gentleman. When things were low in the year 1836 he wrote a kind letter to him (Mr. IL) stating that he thought corn would be dearer at such a time, and, therefore, he had better keep it, and draw on him for money.—(Cheers.) They did not find that always the case, for the landlords drew on them first. But he was a specimen of the old English gentleman, and would do any thing he could to benefit any one. He could relate another anec dote of him ; to encourage a ch ) a -o r u g n e g m m e man who i N n v u h c o h h f a o d r just,set up business he dealt with him; but me e tin g him one day, be said, " You my candles ;" he replied " Yes," but he was bound to his tallow-chandler, and could not help it.

' SINGULAR REQUEST FROM A JURY.—On Thurs day evening last, when the Jury in the Vice-War den's Court had returned their verdict in the case of Paul v. Garland, they were informed by his Honour that their services would be required the following morning. "Please your Honour," said the Fere man, " couldn't ye grant us something towards our night's lodging ?" To this strange request, his Ho nour replied that he had no power to make any such order. The Foreman, however, no thing daunted, cont inued, " We should be glad if you could grant us a trifle ; we've been here a long time, and to great costs, for we and our 'osses. His Honour reminded them that they were performing public duties for their country, and their attendance at this Court would excuse them from attendance at the Quarter Sessions. At all events, he had no power, nor had a Judge of Assize even, to make such an order as they required. The per severing Foreman, however, made one more effort-- " Then may be, your Honour, if you can't do that, you and the other gen'l'men there may make a bit of a seription like !" As might be supposed, this peti tion was met by an outburst of long-restrained laughter from all in Court, except the Jury, who evidently thought this refusal of ' costs for we and our'osses" was no laughing matter.—Cornwall Gazette.
