He also commented severely on the defendant's un feelingness, and still keeping such a man in his em ploy. He would not say that any defendant was liable for any misconduct of hiS servant; but left the question with them, whether . the servant would have taken the horse without his master's sanction. They would therefore endeavour to recompense the poor man without any vindictive feeling towards the defendant. The • JURY almost immediately returned a verdict for; he plaintiff with 601. damages. Mr. JUSTICE PARK.—Very right. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies reported have increased considerably since Wednesday. The Wheat trade has little doing in it to day, and the prices of last Monday remain unaltered. Barley has met a dull sale since Monday last, but the fac tor's are not disposed to take less prices. Beans and Pease meet a slow sale, at rinvaried prices. Oats are held firmly at the terms last reported, with only a moderate sale. In Flour there is no variation. ARRIVALS. Wheat. 1 Barley. Oats.

PLANTATION SUGARS.--in 'consequence of some of the importers, who have hitherto been holding out for higher prices, having become sellers, a fair portion of . business has been done this week, and to induce the buyers to .come forward, a dedine of fall Is. to 2s. per cwt. from this day week has been sub mitted . to ;. this, however, does not appear to have brought them into 'the ,market with any degree of spirit, although the business done has been upon a more ,extensive scale than for some weeks pavt.— The Refiners appear to be picking up a few quietly. The deficiency in the Stock continues to be reduced, being now only 13,567 Mids. and tcs.

COFFEE.—There have been very few transactions in this article this week. No public sales were brought forward until to-day, when tv o, consisting of IS4 casks and 446 bas Plantation, nearly all Dutch, were offered ; the Demerara.. fine ordinary to middling quality sold readily 60s. to 655., the Ber bice was all taken in 68s. to 70s. 6d.; a few lots good ordinary Jamaica brought steady prices, from 425. .to 465., and fine ordinary fOxy to 48s. 6d.: in Fo reign there has been nothing done.

Fatiry.—There are two or,three more arrivals this week : "`a public sale of the following . description was brought forward to day" ;. viz...99$ barrels new Red Smyrna Raisins, quality .very good, nearly the whole of ivhii.ll sold briskly a`s2s:, a few lots, qua lity fine, a 535.; 27d.drumS ditto 535. a 545.; a s mall parcel old Trieste Currants, slightly damaged, a SOs,, shout 70 butts sound were taken . in a 82s. In ne w Turkey Figs and Sultanas there is no alte ration ; there are several arrivals which will be brought to market with all possible expedition : for new Valentia Raisins,, which are held for 605., the demand is not quite so lively, in consequence of the quality of the Red Fruit being good, and the price at which they have been sold moderate; for old Valentia Raisins there, are some enquiries a 425.; fine btinch AlitScatells' are taken off slowly at the prices quoted. SPLCES remain much the same as noticed in our last report.. The Ruhr market is in a stagnant condition, if any thin& the prices are a 'shade lower. Leesvards are steady at the former rates: THE WOOL • TRADE.—The imports of , foreign Wool, particularly from Hamburgh,. have fallen off considerably within the last fortnight, and it is there ' fore hoped tbdt prices will advance on the present low quotations. The consuinptien of English Wool for some months has been very, great, but the ample supply of foreign Wool has prevented any improve ment in price. The accounts from Hamburgh state that the large stock which had been accumulating in Russia for the last two vears.bad been. decreased to that extent that the exports . to . England, would be very trifling during the remainder of the year. Pig - . fish Down fleeces are quoted from Bd. to 9d. per_lb., and :Lambs' at about 11d, per lb. Spanish and all other fOreign , Wools are flat. The imports of Sheep's Wool from Hamburgh this week have not exceeded . • 81,1941biL. The' deliveries troni"thdiVareltOuSe'liaVe been . rather:extensive, viz. 205;0001k' • The advices from Russia- this 'morning are im portant in a commercial point of view. The dates " reach down to the 14th instatit,-at which time . the frost had set in with unusual severity, and the com munication completely stopped. About nine vessels were frozen in, and were expected to be kept there all the winter. The exports of Tallow, and other Russian produce, therefore, - for the present season are over. The Market in London is rather more firm, in consequence, this morning. - The 'total quantity shipped from- St. Petersburgh of Tallow is stated at 152;000 casks. The arrivals this week, have exceeded- 46,900 cwt. There is no material alteration in the prices of Hemp, Flai, or Bristles., SALTPETRE continues at almost the same price as in the early part of the Week,. the demand for it not being very pressing. The deliveries from the ware house since. Monday, have been 651 cwt. The imports th;s year, 99,650 bags. INinoo.—The latest accounts from India repre senting the Indigo crop as being abundant, the Market has been rendered heavier than in 'the early part of the week... The shipments continue exten sive to the Continent. The prices. are about the same as at the last quarterly sale. COTTON.—The demand for Egyptian Cotton' is brisk, and the highest prices lately obtained have been 'maintained. The accounts from LiVerpool still advise considerable briskness there ,in the Cot ton Market, at a slight advance. The prices here :are about the same ; with rather art increased dispo-, sition to purchase. The deliveries of East India Cotton this week have been 70,610 lbs. The Duke of CLARENCE returned to Bushy yesterday, and will preside this day at the ,Scottish Hospital Festival. Prince HOHENLOHE LAUGENBOURG came to town yesterday from the seat of the Duke, and Duchess of CLARENCE at Bushy Park. His Highness dined with the Duchess of KENT, at 'her apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington. In the evening the Duchess of Kswr, accompanied by the Prince and the Princess Fsonottu, Baroness tit SPAEDTH, and Sir JOHN Comtov, honoured the performance of the new Opera of Isidore de. Merida, at Drury Lane Theatre, with her presence. The Princess SOPHIA MATILDA, came to town yesterday morning from her seat on Blackheath. Her Royal Highness paid a visit to the Princess AUGUSTA, at her residence, in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duke of GLOUCESTER visited the Prin cess SoFHIA yesterday, at her apartments in the King's Palace at Kensington. _ . The.LORD CHANCELLOR entertained a large party yesterday at his house . irt George-street, Hanover square. Sir GEORGE WARRENDER, Bart. had a dinner party yesterday, at his beuse in. Seymour-place. Prince LIEVEN entertained a distinguished party yesterday, at Ashburuham House, Dover-street. Miss FANNY AYTON, Signor DIBEGNIS, and the remaining part of the company from the King's Theatre, are now at Birmingham, where they will per form, for a few nights, the same operas in which they have been so eminently successful and admired both at Man chester and Liverpool; after which it is expected they will immediately return to London. Mr. WEDDERBURN, afterwards Lord LOUGH BOROUGH, was once asked whether he really delivered in the House of CORMIOiIs a speeds which the newspapers ascribed to him? "Why, to be sure," said he, "there are many things in that speech which I did say ; and there are more which I wish I had said." iViELoms.rs' CLuis.—,This Club, whose ob ject is the encouragement of ?Melody and Ballad Composi tion, opened its season yesterday, with a splendid meeting, at Freemasons' Tavern. The members and their friends, who, by the rules of the society, can never visit a second. time, sat down to an excellent dinner. On the cloth being, removed, Non Notis Doinine was sung by all the vocal strength of the Club. On the toast, ". Prosperity to the Melodist!' Club," being drunk, Mi.,St N C I.A I R sung the ballad of " The Breast-Knots" very delightfully, and was encored. • This ballad was the first that was published for the Club, and its popularity, all /aver the kingdom, has, it appears, induced one or two piracies. A number of individuals in Bradford . have formed themselves into a society for the cultivation of musical science.—Leeds Intelliyencer. SUSPENSION BRIDGES.—We learn from a well-informed correspondent, that suspension bridges of the kind described in our paper of Wednesday last, are not unknown. There is one of fifty or sixty feet span over the Almond, near Mid Calder, which supports a conduit form ing part of the aqueduct of a feeder of the Union Canal. Some of the American wooden bridges are constrticted ou the same plan.' Our correspondent saw one which crosses the Delaware at Trentan, consisting of a wooden road-way, suspended frOm arched segments of Wood. Many of these American bridges are very curious pieces of mechanism.— They are sometimes a mile long; they have always two carriage tracts, one for coming and the other for going, di vided by a partition ; and they are roofed over for the pre servation of the timher.—Scotsman►. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 28.—There has been an improved demand for Cotton to-day, and about 3,000 bags have-beeu sold at an improvement of id. per lb. on last, Saturday's quotation : 1,000 bags of the above have been taken by speculators. The stocking-makers are so brisk, that the hosiers cannot get their orders completed fast enough, and many of the frames are standing idle, only for the want of hands. A meeting 'of the operatives was lately held, to solicit the hosiers for an advance of wages, as the hose; which in 1811 Were 2s. 2d. per pair making, are now manufactured for 10d. per pair, and all the other gages in proportion.—Blackburn Mail. THE SILK TRADE.—An 'attempt made by the manufacturers in the gauze and figure department, in Coventry, to reduce the wages of their workmen, has been opposed by the latter, who state " that they are determined to suffer no abatement of the present prices, as the state of trade does not require it." In an address to their em- ployers, they say, "we have no wish to oppose you, except 'to ensure ourselves and families from extreme ruin."

The first Cofirt :of COmmon Council, since the commencetnenv of the present Mayoralty, was held yesterday at ,Gitildhall. The Loup MAYOR, on taking his seat, briefly ex pressed his acknowledgments for the high honour VIM)" the kindness of his fell Ow-citizens had Con ferred upon him, and bespoke . the' indulgsnee and support of this Court, with whose assistance he hoped to be enabled to discharge his duty to their satisfaction.—(APplause.) Mr. HAN'sON moved a vote of thanks 'to Mr. Alderman Brown,' the late Lord Mayor, for the man ner in which he had filled the office of Chief Ma gistrate during the past year. Mr. OLDHAM, in seconding the motion,, observed, that after the series of domestic afflictions with which the late Lord Mayor had been visited during his Mayoralty, he having lost one son at the com mencement of it, a second son a few months after wards, and a daughter at its close, it was delightful to find that he had sufficient firmness to discharge its duties in the way in which he. had done. • Tbe resolution was agreed to unanimously, and ordered to be engrossed on vellum, framed, and glazed, and presented to Mr. Alderman Brown; and to be published in the morning and evening papers: A ptirse of fifty guineas was voted to the Rev.. Mr. Watkins, Chaplain to the late Lord Mayor. ACCIDENT AT THE CIVIC DINNER. Mr. DIXON called the Lord Mayor's attention to the accident which had occurred at a dinner given by his Lordship at Guildhall, and which had caused a considerable sensation out of doors. He hoped that that disaster would not be allowed to pass by - Without being made the subject of the most strict inquiry. The LORD MAYOR said, that he did not, so far as he - or his family were concerned, wish to hurt the feelings of any one; but as regarded his guests, some of whom were so'nearlyallied to the Throne, lie would not say whether t his Court could or could not, consistently with what they owed to their own dignity, suffer, the matter to pass without inquiry; and lie therefore left it entirely in their hands. Mr. DIXON then moved .that the subject be re ferred for enquiry to the Committee of. General Purposes. ' • After a few words from Mr. Saunders, the subject was referred to the Committee of City Lands. NEW LONDON BRIDGE. A report was brought lip from the New London bridge Committee for sealing a deed of security to the Lords of the Treasury for the further advances of 40,0001., which was agreed to sub silencio. OFFICE OF SECONDARY. A petition was presented from Mrs. Sarah Col: lingridge, widow of the late Secondary, praying to be allowed to purchase the vacant office for one of her sons. A petition was also presented from Mr. Charles Pearson, stating that numerous abuses were ; com-, nutted by the Secondaries and their Subordinate OffierS,' 'bldth in the exaction of illegal fees, and in acts of oppression when executing their process ; and after detailing various evils attendant upon the systeni pursued by these offices, and therefore depre cating the sale of the office as alike discreditable to the corporation and injurious to the citizens, the pe tition concluded by praying that the, Court would institute an inquiry.into the duties of : the office of Seentidary - and Under Sheriff, and their officers, within the city of Landon. Mr. PEptsoN then addressed, the Court at great length, in support of his petition.' This corporation, he said, held the appointment in trust for public purposes, and not as a source 'of emolument to pri •vate persons. They should not, hp Contended, sell the office, because . - they thereby gave the purchaser vested rights inconsistent with their dignity, and in violation of the rights Of the citizens. It was not his desire'at present, to refer to that period in the' history of this corporation, when justice was sold Juke Meat in the, shambles, - together with measures of oniOus and apples. When he had a seat in this Court, he had looked into the abuses of those offices in the appointment of the, corporation, and discover ed the gross and corrupt manner in which the duties were perfortned.. His statement wa's supported by' ,the report-of the committee then appointed to in quire into them, from Which it appeared that they had been guilty of the most corrupt conduct, parti cularly in packing juries who were summoned to try political otTenceS. It was unnecessary to go into the details of that repOrt now, as be saw before him the faces of many gentlemen, and one Worthy Alderman in particular (Mr. Alderman Waithman), who had signed it. He had also the honour of calling the attention of the Court to another crying evil, the illegal exactions of the officers, and if all the gentle men whom he was now addressing had heard the details of the evidence adduced on that occasion, they would be most glad to haVe the,power of put ting an end to theM. What had been, the conduct of one of the Secondaries on that occasion ? Did he come for Ward when called upon by the Court for an account of the nature and amount of the fees of his office, and-show that his conduct was not only , pure in his own conscience., but that he would not, like twsar's wife, allow it even to be suspected No; his answer was, that he was not bound to de liver the statement of his fees required by the order of the Court,—that the Courts in Westminster-ball were empowered to punish any illegal exaction of which be could lie proved guilty,—and that he Was besides, open to an action at law by the aggrieved party. Mr. Pearson then went on to observe upon the oppressive nature of the process issuing from this office, pressing alike upon the male and female poor ; and mentioned an instance , where a poor woman in her, confinement was obliged to send the covering of her bed to a pawn broker's, to enable her to pay the feeS of an execution. However, when. the Court came to consider how they, were to'get rid of the evil; they found they could not, because the office had been . purchased for 10,0001. Now, however, that they had the disposal of the office once more in their hands, he hoped they would not again place it from under their own control!l by selling it. When he had mentioned this subject out of doors, he was told -that "the Corporation was poor, and wanted money: it was powerful aril Nyould have it." He would not here repeat the answer which be made to that ob servation, —namely,-that that was 'a Bagshot-heath argument—but he would take the liberty of saying, that it was contrarrta Act of Parliament to sell it. j What were the duties of the, Secondary ? He was the party who issued the process, who empanelled the jury, who sat-as judge, and who executed the final process. Now,, there was all Act of Parliament, passed in the 29th . ytiar of the bite King, which im posed a heavy penalty on arty man who dared to. purchase or make sale of any offices relating to the administration of: law or justice. Now this was an I office, from beginning to end, relating to nothing else but the administration of justice. He (Mr. Pear son) was the last man in the world to violate the sanctuary of the dead, or say that o f a ny man which he i would found 'an presence. He believed there could 'an individual whos e con duct not s in priVate life was more amiable, who se f a mily not ay be Was more respectable, or whoSe'charaater was more honourable, than the gentleman to whom he alluded. But that furnished another strong argument against the sale of this office;. for if it could have tempted such a man as that to swerve from the strict path of duty, it showed the necessity of not intrtrsting it to the controul of any man, however high his character for integrity and honour. Mr. FAVELL moved that both petitions be referred to "the Committee of City Lands. Mr. Alderman .. r AITIBTAN came forward to saw a few words on this subject, because he bad taken a c onsiderable part indrawing up the report which had been referred. to., :The subject was undoubtedly one of great importance; and this, Court would.not do its.dnty unless it instituted all investigation into the nature of the duties and emoltunents of that office. Mr. DIXON hoped that this subject would be dis cussed coolly and dispassionately. Mr. Alderman FicannoTHEß Was most anxious that no information should be shut out from the Cora mittee, and that they might bring up such a report as would enable the Court to determine what steps they should take to put an end to a system of abuses and fraud, which every day led to the ruin of poor defendants. • . After a few words from Mr. TAYLOR, It was ordered that Mr. Pearson's petition be printed, and referred, together with Mrs. Coiling ridge's petition, for consideration, to the Commit tee of City Lands, with power to call for such reports or other documents as they might think proper. PORTRAIT OF 'MR. CLARKE. A petition was presented from Robert Jenaings, praying for permission to make an engraving. from the. portrait of Richard Clarke, Esq. Chamberlain, lately painted,Sir Thomas Lawrence. On the motion that it be referred to a Committee, Mr. Hlcli said that the Corporation had paid 420 guineas to Sir Thos. Lawrence for this painting, and he thought nothing , :,ould be done with it With out ,his (Sir Thomas's) sanction: Mr. BLEADEN could see no'reaSon why any dis tinguished artist should be refused the permission of coming into this court and taking an engraving from any of the paintings he chose. He moved as an amendment that the prayer of the petition be, grantetL - Mr. OLDHAM.—Suppose Sir. Thomas Lawrence himself should choose to engrave it ? (Laughter.) Mr. STEVENS said the picture was now the pro party of the - Corporation and it would be most strange indeed, if, after they had paid for it, it was still to be under the control of Sir Thomas Law rence. Mr. TAYLOR thought the only question for the Court was, how to have it engraved in the very best way. A Member said, that Mr. Jennings was one of the best artists in this country, and was often employed by Sir Thomas Lawrence himself to engrave his pictures. There would be no difficulty; therefore, in giving Mr. Jennings their sanction to engrave the painting in question. Mr. GALLOWAY thought it the duty of the Court to give every encouragement to the arts, and nothing tended more to ;do that than a large competition. Mr. BLEADEN'S amendment was then put, and carried. A petition from the inhabitants of Vintry ward and parts adjacent, for some measures being taken to effect improvements in Queen-street, near where the late fire took place, was read, and referred to the Commissioners of Sewers.' WHOLESALE DEALERS. toi OLDHAM, n tpob sr ef erAismro,nfrsei wholesaleetnrdaopdi rnine, trading traders, e p ci o ons r tri t ptb joh o ere f ac tti t io h tony e f yt i d d i ot a ill° t isal the tr:hee claimed two privileges—one of compelling retail traders, and the other of compelling wholesale traders, to purchase their freedom, although the, let ter had been for some time suffered to remain in abeyance. It had existed; however, so far back as the reign of King Richard 11. The remedy, bow- C tcoo o mt M m apk i Committee ever, of compulsion in this ease is different—namely, by seizure of the party's goods, and not by the in fliction of a pecuniary penalty, as in the case of the retail dealers. He admitted that the revival of powers of this kind were obnoxious in the present state of society ; but then there was a manifest in justice in inflicting thiS burden on one class of traders, who were the less able to endure it, and not on the other, who were the more wealthy. — r The Committee being quite satisfied of the exist ence of the right, had called for returns of all the ' persons exercising wholesale trade, and not having taking out their freedom. ' The report, having been read, Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said, that the reason why one class of traders'and not the other had been compelled to take out their freedom was, because formerly it had been the policy to hold out every encouragementlO the great whole Sale manufacturers to bring their goods 'to' this market. But now things were changed, and this motive no longer ex isted for riot calling on those persons to contribute towards the burdens of the city as well as their neighbours. They were some of the trst to ex claim that improvements were notgoing forward in the-city, although they refused to contribute to the funds out of which these improvements were to be paid for.' If, hoWeVer, they were compelled to take out their freedom, lie thought the elective franchise should be also thrown open to them. The report was then ordered to be printed, and copies delivered to the inquests of the several wards on St. Thomas's-day. • The Coal and Corn Committee reported the opi nion of Counsel on the petition of the corn trier chants 'for an alteration in the mode of payment of the ruetage duty, in consequence of the change . of measures from the old ,standard to the imperial, .against complying with the application, which was agreed to. It was referred to the Committee for General - Purposes to inquire into the practice of the Sheriffs' Courts, and the effects resulting from the present limitation of the officers practising therein,' and to report their opinion upon the expediency of making some alteration. EARL .GREY.—We have heard that Earl GREY, who is, we understand, on a visit to Earl BA - TII URST, has made a retharkable discovery, the fruits of which will probably disclose themselves in the course of the next Session. The Noble Earl's discovery, if we are rightly in formed, amounts to this, that a Tory is a very high-minded, pure, and amiable sort • of person, while a Whig has a prying, Inquisitive; and captious kind of character, which makes him exceedingly disazreeable. We - give this infor mation exactly as we have received it, without venturing to guess at its' import. Courier.

The public is shocked at the frequency of great crimes, the facility with which they are committed, and the impunity w hi c h b ut too f r e 7 quently follows. To the burglary committed on the premises of Messrs. Johnson and Grimaldi, by the side of the most public street iii London, is to be added the robbery of the Warwick Mail, of Bank notes to the amount of upwards of twenty thousand pounds, and the reward of the robbers by 'a compromise with the robbed. There is also the escape of They Solomons, which took place but a short time ago, and was evidently the effect of bribery. These things could not occur if the police were not in a most wretched state ; and we hear, in all quarters, complaints upon this fruitful topic, either that the morals of the King's subjects are corrupted, their property plundered, or their safety endan pre& The present Noble Secretary of State is, we understand, engaged in the preparation of a plan for the improvement of this most defective state of!the police. He will have manydifficul ties to encounternay, even many interests to oppose ; for, melancholy as it may seem, there must be those who have an interest in the foster ing of crime: yet we do hope that his Lordship will persevere. The task of his predecessor in ameliorating the method of striking juries was comparatively an easy one :—he had only honest men and a perverted practice to deal with, and the advantage derived from his labours can affect but few. The' improvement of the police, by which every man's home will be rendered more secure, will be an operation of greater magnitude, and will confer proportionate honour . on him by whom it shall be executed.--- Times. We have lust had the opportunity of looking into a sensible pamphlet, on a question Of gene ral interest to the nation : we mean the effects cif the licensing system, of the extraordinary powers with which magistrates are invested under it, and dale extent to which those powers are too fre quently abused. The charge or speech of Chief Justice Best to the Grand Jury of Somersetshire, in Atignst last, has served the author as a text for his observations, in the course of which, al thoughlte vainly strives to exonerate the public brewers from some of the blame which attaches to them, he certainly makes out a more plausible case for them, and a more exclusively bad one Ist a i7 i oi t a m : against the ee ni .leacegexiisvi magistrates, i t i i: e : l i a )r w eosi o )sti f ao t in h ns e s country, than aMst of his readers would be disposed otilootb oe t fs o t eunbjea ct anticipate .it is true enough that the brewer,' by his influence prefe rence for houses which are his own property, and for victuallers who are his own creatures, to which they would not be' entitled on any fir views of public accommodation or of equal jus tice ; but who is there that, enjoying such an influence with men in power, would not employ it for bis'own 'personal advantage, if the law were such as to place'the interests of strangers .a the mercy ' o him and his friends, those strangers being also his rivals? Again, if the magistrate be of the seine class of society (and it so happens, for the most part) with the great brewers,---,if, moreover,' as very often happens[ he be a near connexion or relative, or intimate companion of tbe brewer,—we do not, indeed, say that he will behave like a man of peifect and exemplary honesty by listening to the representa tions of the brewers more"favourably than to those of the unsupported and uncapitalled vic tualler, but we are bound to say, that by the in dulgence of such a partiality, he will act as most 'nen do act. If, then, from this collusion, or, to use a less invidious phrase, this 'neighbourly feeling, between the brewer and the magistrate, there results a practical monopoly against both the trading competitor and the public consumer, -se must look for a remedy somewhat deeper than in the persons of the two classes-of delin 7 rents, and somewhat less visionary than in their reform. The fault lies in the law. It is the law, which, in its relation to the modern habits of the people and to the actual state of trade, places too large a temptation before the brewer, and clothes the magistrate with an arbitrary power over property of twenty times the compa rative amount of that which was subjected to his discretion when he was first made the arbiter of licences. Of late years only ; that is, within the last 30 or 40 years, has the connexion between brewer and victualler assumed its present form. Within the same period, or perhaps not quite so late, has the publican become a personage of such bustling and profitable commerce, and sunk such considerable fortunes as we sec every. day, in the house and business of which almost the whole value depends on the continuance of his licence. Many thou sand pounds are vested by the modern victualler in a concern -Which his predecessor of half a century back would have carried on upon one-tenth .of the scale.
