Thus 101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One B an k o f Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather he made in Bills of Exchange, on London.

The siege of Bilboa was raised on the evening of the 29th ult.—at least so asserts the Moniteur of Saturday in its official columns. The Carlist correspondent of our contemporary the Morning Herald, tells a different story—a gentleman by the way, who seems to have trusted to his invention for every account which he has forwarded from the north of Spain since his arrival in that country. He delights to be thought a very seer with regard to the future. His letters arc so many bundles of prophecies, doubt less, because he considers mere matters of fact un worthy his notice. When he does deign to write about passing affairs, in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred the 'very reverse of what he most positively asserts may be safely assumed as the truth. In a letter, dated " Macaye, Oct. 29, two o'clock, P. M." which is published in the Herald of this morning, he thus writes on the subject of the siege of Bilboa : " I have already made you acquainted with the capture of Mallona and San Augustin by the Carlists. Their present positions are as follows :—A fortified outer line ex tending from the heights above the new bridge to those above San Augustin. Their advanced positions are Mal lona, San Augustin, and the whole range of houses leading from the convent to the town ; on the river they have two batteries, so erected as to produce a cross-fire. The de fence of the river is intrusted to Castor Andechaga. You will be told by the Christino organ that the siege is raised, cannons spiked, and the Carlists flying in disorder. Be lieve not a single word of these fabrications, mine is a plain statement of filets, uncoloured and true in every word." Compare with the above the following account from the Bayonne Correspondent of the Chronicle. His letter is dated " Bayonne, Nov. Ist.:" " One thing is certain, the siege has been raised. The news of Espartero's coming down at once drove the factious from before the town. They heard of it only on the evening of the 28th (having seized a spy with letters from Espartero himself to the Governor of Bilboa, whom, poor fellow, they instantly shot), and on the morning of the 29th they decamped, taking with them their justly treasured guns. They pretended that their main force was drawn from before the town to meet Espartero, and, for appearance, a couple of battalions were left to blockade. They, however, did not move in the direction of Espar tero's march, and the two blockade battalions, observing preparations on the part of the garrison to sally forth, pru dently followed the main guard, and left the town free. The following confirmatory version of the corres pondent of the Chronicle's account of this affair, ap pears in the leading article of the Times of this day : " The latest intelligence from Bilboa received in Paris was of the 29th ult. It denied that the Carlists had made themselves masters of the furls of St. Augustin and Moo lona : up to the evening of the 28th ult., not one of the outworks of the town bad been abandoned, and the inhabi tants, instead of being alarmed and cast down by the showers of projectiles that fell within their town, displayed the utmost enthusiasm. It would appear that the move ment of Espartero had attracted all the attention of the besiegers, for the whole of their materiel had been with drawn. This averment is confirmed by a telegraphic de spatch from Bayonne, dated the Ist instant, published in the illoniteur of Saturday. The garrison of Bilboa m a d e a vigorou s sor ti e i n th e even i ng of te 28th ult. A second despatch of the same day states that the Carlists were raising the seige of Bilboa, and retiring on Durango. None of their artillery remained before Bilboa on the 29th." But enough on the veracity of the Herald's Carlist correspondent. Probably a fortnight shall not elar , : se before this very gentleman will refer the Briti-'„ p'ub lic to some by-gone prophecy of his, , which w a s foretold the mi s f ortunes t h at would P`.. tend the Carlists, in the event of their laying siege to a town so well de fended as Bilboa The Paris Journals continue to dwel) ir i i i the par ticulars of the recent attempts at re volt Strasburg and Vendome. It i s not supp : jsed that th e K ING will bring Louis NAPO r, E01 . 1 . DONAPARTE to for the memory of thetrial, out of respect EMPEROR, as wellst; f rom regard to the youth and inexperience oc • td . ! ePRINCE -himself. A Morn ing Contemr:cr-v, whose political sentiments rarely harmonise ‘;vith oar's upon any question, intimates that the, 'conspiracy at Strasburo was only another of those n 4 rigues to which LOUIS PIIILIPPE is so fond of having recourse, with a view to increase his popu larity. We confess this solution of the mystery is by no ltneans improbable. It appears to us to be based upon a mass of circumstantial evidence, upon which great reliance :imst be placed by those who have carefully nuked the secret history of the French Government flitle the memorable revolution which placed the House ORLEA NS upon th e th rone of that kin,dom. But the Government plot at Strasburg—if indeed it was tlio work of the Government agents—terminatcd in such a way as to leave Lours PIIILIPPE no room for rejoicing." "It is now six years," observes the Siecle of Saturday, "since we have begun to see our glorious revo lution gradually losing the sympathies that constituted our force in Italy, Spain, Portugal, England, and beyond the Rhine, and each day the guarantees of our independehe are shaken aN impaired. It is now six years since the progressive increase of deficits put in danger the fortune of the State : and at the same time that we behold the patties hostile to our present institutions maintaining themselves, and becoming even more formidable, we see public spirit broken down to such a degree, that attempts at military re volution arc received, by the confession of the Government itself, with complete indifference, even in the towns in which they have taken place. The rebels failed in Strasburg and Vendome, and the Government infers therefrom that the army is devoted to it." Henceforth we presume the French Govern ment will be very happy if it can only obtain from the people the expression of a negative loyalty. A po sitive fidelity has been so constantly refused, and the clap• traps to obtain it have so sign a ll y failed, that for the time to come not to have fired at the KING, or joined in a conspiracy to dethrone him, will doubtless be regarded as evidences of denoted ORLEANS partisanship. The new rule of Ministers —a rule demanded by the „necessities of the times—is to laud the French people for the crimes which they have not committed. There is no intelligence of any moment from Swit zerland. None of the three Reports drawn up by the Committee of the Diet has been received. M. MoNNARD was requested to draw up another Report, which, of course, cannot be adopted for some time longer. The task is a very delicate and complex one, but no person doubts M. MONNARD's patriotism, abi lity, and diplomatic tact. Advices from Madrid to the 29th ult., one day later than those published on Saturday, have been re ceived. On the 24th, Captain-General ALVAREZ came up with the Carlists under SANz, near Salas, and after an obstinate engagement the rebels were completely routed. Considerable attention was excited in the capital by the publication of the War Minister's exposition of the strength of the QUEEN'S army. The summary of the report runs thus : Regular Infantry Cavalry 12,800 Moveable Nati ona l G uar d s . 14,000 Total With an army so powerful the people naturally ask why is not the civil war already terminated ? Why are the rebels permitted to march in bands of from three to eight thousand troops, almost from one ex tremity of the kingdom to the other, pillaging the towns and villages in their route ? Between Oviedo, where SANZ first appeared, and Salas, where he was beaten by ALVAREZ, the distance in the nearest di rection exceeds one hundred miles ; so that he had all but entered Galicia before he was intercepted by the QUEEN'S Generals. The Devonport Telegraph contains a long report of a Conservative Association dinner, which took place on Friday last in that town ; from which report— lightly and delicately as the ungracious fact is alluded to—it is manifest that the majority of the company were, for the best part of the evening, in that peculiar state of excitement which, for politeness sake, we shall call hallucination. That our readers may not imagine we are hazarding an unfounded charge, we shall quote the passages which have brought conviction to our minds :—" Bumpers to the brim, with three times three, for the President, Vice-Presidents, and Mem bers of the Devonport Association. The President and Mr. BEER,"—small-beer, of course !--" here rose to return thanks ; but the latter gave way, and the President's speech was inaudible from the excited state of the meeting." "In the exuberance of their joy the company shouted loudly for Mr. DAWSON, Lord VALLETORT, and the remaining toasts were got through hastily." It is evident, we repeat, from these passages, that the Dcvonport Conservatives were, to a man, sophisticated—we might say, drunk ; but we respect the gentilities, and forbear. Did we need fur ther proofs that such was the fact, we should most as suredly find them in the speeches, all of which smell, not of the lamp, but of the grape. The President, for instance, observed that " the Association had been for.ned for defensive purposes, for that the Reformers ha I thrown down the . gauntlet," forgetting, in the hila rity' of the moment, that it was the Conservatives, as Lo:d STANLEY himself declared, who first set the fashion of confederating, and that the Reformers only followed their example. Again, this obfuscated gentleman said, " it was by the exertions of their fathers, under the banner of 'WILLIAM the Third, that the country was preserved from the dark horrors of Paganism." Now, can any thing be more decisive of vinous obnubilation than this substitution of " Paganism" for Popery ? Cassio's exclamation of " this is my right hand, and this is my left," was not more conclusive. Lord ELIOT, we regret to say, manifested similar tokens of that pe culiar inspiration which is so apt to result from " bum pers to the brim." He, too, was sophisticated, and considering the profundity of his so phi st i cat i on, . we are surprised that hi s Speech was delivered in a perpendi cular, rather than in a horizontal, attitude. Of one thing we are positive, namely, that he must have taken a pretty considerable lurch to leeward when he gave ut terance to sentiments like these No parties were more liberal or more. tolerant than the Conservatives ; it was an essential distinction of the Church they sup ported, that it was the poor man's Chu,-ch ; without the Church, the poor would be left without the con selations of religion." Dr. JACOB, in replying to this portion of Lord ELroT's speech, proved that parsons, can drink " bumpers to the brim" as well as Peen and are by no means exempt from those delicate ' c • mities to which the rest of the sons of rig.-- are liable. Thus' spake the Doctor, his ehe ' b ,unes, no doubt, crowing all the while, like ch- - contended for th e vo l ur -cm ocleer:—" oome p ersons e arsery pri nc ipl e , b ut our ancestors knew better, and Ne."'oild not leav e so va l ua bl e an institu tion to be su e s ,,orted by means so precarious ; they made establiel• ments rich, that the poor might have religion. If the Established Church were not endowed, its Ministers would be exposed to contempt." It would appear from this that Churchmen are only rich, in poor people may h ave t h e i r souls well taken order that . care of. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, for instance, has not fifteen thousand per annum for his own personal advantage ; no, it is solely for the ad vantage of the poor community. DIVES is not wealthy for the sake of DIVES, but for the sake of LA ZARUS. It is the latter that is benefited by the well-endowed pockets of the former. We now see the reason why Doctor PIIILLPOTTS kept such a tenacious gripe on the living of Stanhope, and sur rendered it with such intense reluctance. It was not for himself he wanted it, but for the souls of his poor pari shioners. He feared, too—as Doctor JACOB justly in sinuates —that if he " were not endowed, he might be exposed to contempt ;" an hypothesis in which we are strongly disposed to agree with the Devonport Doctor. The rest of the speeches hiccuped at this Conservative guzzle were on a par with those of which we have just made honourable mention ; and showed that one and all of the orators were perfect Methodists in their worship of Bacchus. We take for granted that the landlord will have a heavy bill for damaged glass against them ; and from th e c i rcumstance of " the re maining toasts having. been got through hastily," we are positive that he must have sent in the waiter to in form the company that he " would h ave no such goings-on in his house." We shall look anxiously for the next Devonport Police Reports, in the firm conviction that one-half of the Conservative Asso ciation must have meandered their, way to the watch house. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1536. CHANCES .Y COURT-3VEDriESDAY- IN RE LUDLOW CHARITY. SENDING THREATENING LETTERS TO THE 111AST4LZS (3: THE COURT. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking- his seat this morn ing, said, before the regular business of the Court 18 pro ceeded with, I w i s h t o state an occurrence whitli tins taken place in the office of one of the Maters, of which, after above it) years' experience, I have seen no parallel. . Master Brougham hes just put into my hands a letter which he has received from a gentleman, whom the letter describes as the barrister attending the Master upon the reference under an order of the Court. I abstain at present from stating the name, but I think it right to say that it is not the name of any gentleman who I am in the habit of see ing in this Court. That letter states proceedings which have taken place in the Master.' Office, and after com plaining of an opinion which the Master is sup posed to have formed—not stating any report to have been made, but on the contrary stating that the case is still pending before the Master—after using expres sions in that letter which no gentleman can permit to he used towards himself, and proceeding in terms which I, not intending at present to read the letter, shall abstain from characterising, throws out insinuations certainly the most calumnious, and concludes with a direct threat, the object of which is in terms to induce the Master to alter the opinion he is supposed to have formed, and to come to a conclusion fa vourable to the case advocated by the writer of that letter. It is quite obvious what course the Master should have pursued ; he ought undoubtedly, in my opinion, to have re ferred that letter at once to the Court. It appears, how ever, from other letters that have been sent to me, under circumstances I shall presently state, the Master, under the irritation of receiving such a letter, adopting a course which I certainly cannot approve of, put this letter into the hands of a friend, who, from his own high character in the profession to which he belongs, would be quit! cer tain of not adopting any course inconsistent with the ho nour of the parties by whom he was consulted. That friend doubted whether he could permit the case to proceed, and he took the advice of another gentle• man of the same profession, of very high rank and station in the country, and they both agreed that it was impossible the matter should proceed in that course, and they both concurred in the opinion that the Master was not at liberty to treat the matter as a personal quarrel, it being an offence committed against him in the exercise of his judicial functions, but that he was bound to refer the whole case to me as the head of the Court, and ac cordingly I have been put in possession of this letter. It is impossible for me not to disapprove of the course the Master in the first instance adopted ; because it is quite obvious if judicial officers are to take up insults offered to them in the exercise of their judicial functions as personal quarrels, that they not only put themselves at the mercy of those who may wish to attain their ends by any means in their power, but in the exercise of their administration, there may exist and arise, if such a course should become a practice, an influence over the conduct of those who are exercising those judicial functions, of a private or personal nature, which cannot but interfere materially with the due administration of the law. I entirely approve of the advice which the Master received from his friends, to place the case before the Court ; and it remains for me to consider what course I ought to adopt. It is obvious, as I have said, that Masters and other officers of the Court, are not to consider insults offered to them in the exercise of their duty as the subject of personal quarrel, but that it is the bounden duty of the Court to throw its protection around its officers. The Court undoubtedly has still power to do that, and it is a power which I shall feel it my duty to exercise effectually. What I am now saying is necessarily in the absence of the party Ithose name is subscribed to that letter, nor have I any legal knowledge the letter was written by him. A case of this sort has never occurred within my knowledge. It has frequently occurred that letters have been most improperly addressed to Judges upon matters before them, sometimes from igno rance and sometimes from bad motives ; but I have never before known them accompanied by insulting language and absolute threats for the purpose of obtaining the ends of the writer. In these cases a practice has been adopted by Judges which I have frequently followed, of handing over the letter to the opposite side ; and the parties who appeared lsefore the Master in this matter are not to be deprived of that benefit because the case has been aggravated by the tone and manner in which the letter is written. I propose, therefore, first, to direct as many copies of this letter as there were parties attending be fore the Master, to be made and sent to them in order that they may have an opportunity of considering what course they should adopt. The course they may think right to adopt may make it unnecessary to adopt any other course ; I abstain from doing that which probably ultimately I shall think it my duty to do, until I am in formed what course the parties litigant in the Master's office think it right to adopt on behalf of their clients. I shall direct (topics of the letters to be given to the soli citors, and postpone the further consideration of the sub ject to Saturday next. This statement from his Lordship seemed to come like a thunderclap upon the bar, each gentleman in Court look ing at the other, as if he was anxious to make the inquiry who can the barrister be who had written a letter requiring such strong animadversions from the Judge of the land. The Court then proceeded with the appeal of Malcolm v. 0 Callaghan. house itself? He, (Sir F. Pollock) would contend that udit:e thcse two hetuse.4 were en ettencetrtl tij,ether, ma naging their l'etnittanees in a particular way, whatever risk there might he neeesktrilY b00t),t,..a to them, and could not he cast,, upon the • Th 4 had ti 6 r4ilif. td td the plAidttiT l di tO the putolic, " We have a particular mode of do ing business between ourselves, by which, the moment money is paid to the one he puts it in his pocket and the other gets credit for it, and whatever risk there is the public must bear." The person who employs them has a right to say, " I have given you m oney to rem i t , an d you h ave no r i g h t to turn it to your own account, any, more than if I had gh , on yutt bar of silver," If th'e d6rendants had clone what the plain tin agent required of them, his rights would have been un impaired by the insolvency of the East India House—they, by remitting the money in a particular way, took all the risk upon themselves, which was but fair, as they were the best judges of how far their East India correspondents could be trusted. The plaintiff was entitled to his remedy either in equity or bankruptcy, in an action for money had and received, which was one of the most equitable descrip tion. The case resolved itself into this simple question, had the defendants done what they were told to do ?—or had they not substituted an eqtivalent 9—and if so, were they not to take the risk upon themselves, the East India House having failed before the arrival of any advises of the money having been sent out 9 Upon these grounds he submitted that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. • The COURT having conferred together for some time, Lord DENMAN observed that there was a case, " Buller v. Harrison," in Cooper, very similar to it, and as the ques tion was one of immense importance to the commercial world, the Court wished, before giving any opinion, to look at it. PRINCE V. SAMS. Sir F, Pot,Loci( moved in this case for a rule to set aside the verdict had for the defendant, on the ground of the ex clmion of some evidence which the plaintiff was entitled to give. It was an action for an arrest without reasonable and probable cause, the particulars of which have been recently before the public. On the trial a witness named Patteson was examined as to certain statements and admissions made on a former trial by the plaintiff, the object of which was to show that the plaintiff was a disparaged person, and also that a certain debt between himself and Sams was really and truly a debt. He (Sir F. Pollock) had proposed to exa mine the witness as to the whole of his evidence on that oc casion, but his Learned Friend Sir William Follett had objected to his doing so. Now he contended that when a witness was called to give in evidence a particular declara tion of a party, the Counsel on the other side had a right to the whole of what had taken place on that occasion, and on these grounds he was entitled to a rule for a new trial. COURT—You may take a rule. ROLLS' COURT.-('CRIB DAY.) . _ EARL OF GLENGALL V. BARNARD.—JUDGMF, NT . This was a bill filed by the Earl and Countess of Glen gall, in order to have the trusts of the will of the late Mr. William Mellish carried into execution, under the direction of the Court, and praying that the usual ac count might be taken of the estate of Mr. Mellish, and that it might be applied in a due course of administration. The MAsrEtt of the ROLLS, after considering the case, had come to the conclusion, that Lady Glengall (one of the daughters of the testator), was entitled only to sueli provision as the father had given to her by his will as rei duary legatee ; and that Lady Edward Thynne (the other daughter), was not entitled to have both the bonds which had been given by the testator to trustees upon her marriage ; and also the moiety of the residue of his estate, given to her by the will of the testator, but that what she might take by the bond must be deducted from that which she was entitled to take under the will. KING'S BENCH,-(THIS DAY.) THE EARL OF EGREMONT V. HARRIS. This was an action for a breach of covenant of a lease made by the plaintiff on the 15th Nor. 1797, to the defen dant and three others, of certain collieries at Gray's Swithin, in the county of Cumberland. The cavenant was that all pits, &c., the working of which should be disconti nued sirJuld be filled up and levelled, and that within ens YP.:ir or sooner of the determination of the lease, the ivhole should be surrendered in good working condition to the plaintiff. The breach assigned was that the defendant had not surrendered a certain tunnel that passed through the lands of one Bell at the termination of the lease, and the question simply was whether the tunnel had or had not been surrendered ? The case was tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge at the last assizes for Cumberlaad, and a verdict had for the plaintiff. Mr. BLACKMAN now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the defendant. It was set forth in the pleadings, and proved upon the trial, that the land through which the tunnel passed was the property of Richard Bell, one of the parties to the lease, and this was not denied. It was there fore impossible for the defendants to surrender to the plain tiff what did not belong to him—it short it negatived all right of action in the Earl of Egremont. Mr. Justice COLEtunGE—Suppose you have the point stated in a case. Mr. BLACKMAN-My Lord, it is scarce worth doing so. It is worth nothing but the costs.—(A laugh.) Both parties haie now discovered that the question is worth no , thing to either.—(Much laughter.) COURT—You may tak e a rule. WUARTHY V. COLGAN AND CO. Sir F. PoLLoex moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff for the SUM of 4191. 18s. 9d. The' case was .tried before Lord Denman at the last London sittings, and the. facts were as follows : The plaintiff, Mr. W. G. 111‘Carthy, was a gentleman re siding at Calcutta, in the East Indies, who had some money in the English funds, and, by a letter, dated the 9th of May, 1832, he directed a gentleman named Caster ton to sell out, and after paying a draft, drawn by plaintiff upon the house of Colgan and Co. for 3001., to remit the balance, amounting to 4191. 18s. 9d., to plaintiff's credit at Calcutta. Mr. easterton accordingly paid that sum to the defendants, and received a receipt from them, dated the 20th of December, 1832, as follows—" Received.of W. Casterton, Esq., 4191. 18s. 9d., on account of W. G. M'Carthy, Esq., of Calcutta." The defendants transmitted an account of this to their correspondents, Rosett Colgan and Co., of CalcUtta, but before the letter reached the East Indies the latter house had " stopped payment and became insolvent. Now it was quite clear, that if the remittance had been made in money or in bills of ex change the property would have remained for the benefit of the plaintiff, and the assignees of the insolvent's estate could not haVe mixed it up with the insolvent's general funds. The plaintiff would have put in his claim separately, and no doubt it would have been his. The London house however made no remittance ; it merely entered the money to the credit of the Calcutta house, and the question was who was' to stand the loss ? Was it the plaintiff, who lodged the money in the London house, or the London BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE sat to hear motions. Mr. HIGGINS applied for a writ of certiorari to receive into this Court the depositions and inquisition taken by the Coroner for Surrey relative to the death of James Marsh. The affidavits stated that Marsh was accidentally killed in a scuffle that took place between him and one Wren, and that the Coroner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Wren, and the Coroner thereupon issued a war rant for his apprehension. The object of bringing the pro ceedings into this Court, was that Wren might be admitted to bail.—Writ granted. Some other motins of no public, interest were disposed of, after which his Lordship sat at Nisi Prius. Mr. TIIESSIQER said that question had Leen clearly decided: His Lordship's law upon that point could not be disputed. lie Would then come to his other point. The plaintiff endorsed his writ for only 105/., vet the Jury had found a verdict for 162/., which therefbre must !lad rotrpried him as much 113 any one. Ile would certainly make It better by throwing himself upon the county in this way thhn by a country engagement. The evidence of, Mr. Kemble showed that the season consisted of 200 nights—that was settled. That was 33 weeks and .2 days. The plaintiff had been paid his salary for 30 weeks, which left a• balance of 60/. due : to that sum the verdict must be reduced. Mr. Baron PARE- Will you let the verdict stand for GOI. if the other side will consent ? Mr. TIIESSIGER could not take ro meeh responsibility upon himself. Perhaps the Court would allow him to con sult his client upon the matter. The COURT—Then consider the suggestion, and inform us of the result. Mr. PLATT, who was plaintiff's Counsel on the trial, on being appealed to said he did not think there would be much difficulty in the settlement of the matter on their side. COURT OF REVIEW.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE BREDON. Counsel in this case made an applicatio❑ on behalf of a creditor for ten days' time to answer certain afildavits made by the bankrupt. He grounded his motion on the fact that his client was resident at Boulogne, in the kingdom of France, and there were statements in the depositions of the bankrupt which it was deemed advisable to reply to. The COURT could not see any reason to comply with the motion. It was notorious that the communication with Boulogne was as easy, and perhaps cheaper, than with many parts of England ; but if, when the case came before them for hearing, it should appear necessary to afford time, they would take the special circumstances into consideration. At present they would give no rule, and allow the costs of the motion to stand over. There being no other motion to be brought forward, the Court adjourned. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There was a considerable arrival of most kinds of Grain, also of Flour, last week, but the demand took off so large a proportion that most articles were dearer. This morning the fresh supply of nearly all descriptions of Corn was moderate. The continued tender condition of the new Wheat, which prevents the farmers from thrashing in nearly all parts of the country, causes the demand for dry samples to exceed the supply of such, and the Wheat trade has advanced here since last Monday full 4s. per quarter, and all the dry parcels are sold. Fine dry Barley is Is. per quarter higher. Beans in good condition are also Is. per quarter dearer. Boiling Pease arc further advanced 2s. per quarter. Grey Pease are is. per quarter higher. The demand for Oats continues good, and though the supply from Ireland is large, yet the prices are well maintained. The top price of Flour is Zis. per sack higher than last Monday. rarcEs ON BOARD OP SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) IPs. 635.

Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS renewed the application which he made on Thursday last in this case. It will be recol lected that the object of the application was to discharge the defendant from custody, under the 48th Geo. 3, c. 17, upon affidavits statiog that the defendant had suffered an imprisonment of twelve months for a debt not exceeding 20/. The case was ordered to stand over, in order that counsel might have an opportunity of referring to prece dents on the point. Mr. Sergeant Andrews accordingly referred to the case of Langdon v. Rosseter, 1 Mackland, which was heard in the Exchequer, before Mr. Baron Hul lett, and in which, under similar circumstances to the pre sent, the prisoner was discharged.. There was a case to the like effect in 1 Dowling 64. • Mr. MAUNSELL contended that according to the 32d of Geo. 3, c. 42, sec. 17, the prisoner ought to give a good excuse why he had not made a schedule. The plaintiff was clearly entitled to call upon the defendant to deliver up an account of his effects, or to make an assignment before he could apply to be discharged. The CHIEF JUSTICE did not see how the present appli cation could be answered. The defendant must be dis charged under the 48 George 111. ; and supposin g he had incurred the hi g h p ena lt y , w hi c h h e did not say he had, of defrauding his creditors, the plaintiff might indict him. The present application was simply tl-at the defendant, having been imprisoned more than 12 months for a less sum than 20/., might be discharged. Mr. MAUNSELL contended that, according to the Act, the defendant was bound to make it appear to the Court that there was just excuse for his neglecting to make a schedule at the end of the 60 days, or at all events he was justified in calling upon the Court to direct the prisoner to make an assignment of his property for the benefit of his creditors before he was discharged. The proceeding of the defendant was anything but an excuse—it was an attempt to defraud the creditors. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that what the Court was disposed to do, was to give the prisoner time to make an election whether or not he would deliver up a schedule. The moment he had made his election the rule would be made absolute, and the prisoner would be discharged. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS said that the Act simply dis charged the person of the prisoner ; it left the whole of his effects for the benefit of his creditors as before. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought it a case of some nicety, and would look into the Acts of Parliament. The prisoner was remanded until Wednesday. CORNISH V. KEAN. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared to show cause against a rule which Was obtained last term, the object of the rule being to set aside the verdict in this case. It was an action brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Cornish, Swier and Co., against Kean and Co. for an infringement of a pa tent which had been obtained by W. Sweir, for certain im provements in the making and manufacturing of elastic goods and fabrics applicable to several useful purposes such as braces, socks, nightcaps, and other articles of dress. The defendant pleaded first, not guilty ; secondly, that Sweir was not the first or true inventor ; thirdly, that the alleged invention cr discovery was not a new invention ; fourthly, that it was no improvement ; and fifthly, and lastly, that there was no specification. The case was proceeding when our Reporter left. It is expected to occupy the Court two days at least. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) VANDENTIOFF V. BUNN. This action was brought by the celebrated actor against the lessee of Drury-lane, to recover arrears of salary. It was tried at the London sittings after last term, before Lord Abinger, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, with 1621. damages. _ _ Mr. TIIESSIGER this morning moved for a rule nisi for a new trial, or to reduce the damages. The plaintiff's de claration stated that he was engaged to play at the Theatres Royal Drury-lane and Covent-garden, for two seasons, at a weekly salary of 181.—that the defendant suddenly closed the theatres at a much earlier period than had been usual, and did not employ the plaintiff for ten weeks at the end of the first regular season, for which he claimed salary. The defendant replied that he had not so promised to engage the plaintiff; that the supposed promise was not to be performed within the space of one year—that it was not in a writing signed by him (the defendant) or any one authorised by him for that purpose, and that he had not closed the season earlier than he had a right to do. At the trial a letter was produced by plaintiff, signed by Mr. Dunn, the treasurer of the theatre, in which he said, " I; on the part of Mr. Bunn, agree to your proposal of performing at 18 /. a week, and when Mr. Bunn comes to town the legal agreement can be 4 signed," &c., but that letter did not contain the name of Mr. Vandenhoff; it had, or appeared to hare been sent in an envelope, but the envelope was not produced. In order to make out the case, his friend, Mr. Platt, produced a copy of a letter from the plaintiff to Mr. Bunn, but as there had been no notice to produce it was improperly read. Lord ABINGER said there did not appear, by his notes, to have been anything of that kind at the trial. lie had no note of any such copy of a letter having been produced, nor had be any recollection of it. Mr. THESSIGER could only speak as he was instructed, for, unfortunately, he had been engaged elsewhere when the case was called on, and he was afraid that his ju nior had certainly fallen under his Lordship's displea sure, for being too eager, in the discharge of his duty under th e c i rcumstances i n w hi c h he was pl ace d. He was Informed that such a copy was produced an d read. However lie would rely upon the want of mutuality in the contract, for it had been held that both parties must be equally bound. Here there was nothing shown to bind Mr. Vandenhoff. The Loup CHIEP BARON said ho had . had no note of such objection, and it could not have escaped him. It was not made till after he had summed up. Such an ob jection, if made at all, ought to be made in time. Mr. Baron PARKE said the point had been laid down hi the case of Champion v. Plumer. The names of both par, ties must appear in the memorandum of agreement. • The LORD CHIEF BARON had no note of the objection, nor of the non-production of the envelope. The whole question at the trial was whether the defendant had a right to close the season when he pleased. ISLINGTON CATTLE MARKET.

We have had no arrivals of Barley this week, and it is in great request at 2s. per quarter advance in price. The supply of Oats to-day was exceedingly large, and rather higher rates were obtained for the best samples, but inferior kinds were a dull sale.

It is, we believe, the joint production of Mr. Banim and Mr. Sheil. To-morrow night will be produced, with the greatest splendour in dross and decoration, an English version of Rossini's grand opera of The Siege of Corinth. The cast will include the whole operatical strength of the company—Misses Shirreff and Poole, with Mes sieurs Balfe, Templeton, Wilson, Bedford, and Giubilei ; and, to heighten its attraction, an incidental divertissetnent will be introduced, in which Mdlle. Duvernay will make her second appearance this season. Should the opera suc ceed, and there is little doubt but it will do so eminently; it is said to be the manager's intention to run it nightly, in conjunction with the performances of Mr. Forrest ; and Mr. Hill's Yaakec Pedlar will help to give variety to the entertainments. FATAL ACCIDENT.—About seven o'clock on Friday night an explosion took place at the newly erected gas-works at Dunstable, when, in an instant the whole works were blown into fragments. Two of the three men left in charge of the works were blown into a field on the opposite side of the turnpike-road, which is situated on the London and Birmingham line ; these men were killed, and not a feature was visible which could be identified. The other man was conveyed to a public-house ; he is not expected to survive. One of the sufferers resided in the town, whose name is Seeley, and has left a wife and five children to de plore his loss. Monday was the day fixed for lighting the town with gas. The gasometer had not been 'filled more than half an hour when the explosion took place. Had the accident happened an hour earlier, hundreds of lives would have been sacrificed, es the good people of Dunstable had mustered numerously to witness the filling of the gasometer, and had but just departed.—Northampton Chronicle. DEATH FROM POlSON.—Yesterday afternoon, an inquest was held on view of the body of James Booth, 14 years of age, whose death was occasioned by his having eaten a cake in which arsenic had been mixed. It appeared in evidence, that L. Brown was employed by Mr. Whalley, stepfather to the deceased, to whitewash a house ; that he purchased a pound of arsenic to mix in the whiting, for the purpose of destroying bugs, and that he had used it all but about four ounces, which he left in a cupboard wrapped up in brown paper, for the purpose of calling again to fill up the cracks in the floor. Whalley removed to the house On Friday, the 21st ult., and his wife cleaned out the cupboard the next day, but did not perceive the paper containing the arsenic. Her daughter Mary, how ever, saw Jane Booth, a child about 2 years of age, who was playing about the house, empty a paper into a basin among among some flour, but they thinking it was only whiting, there was no further notice taken of it. The mother made some cakes of the flour on the Monday following, of which several of the family partook, and a short time after they were all taken ill. James lingered until the following Sunday, when he expired.—Verdict " Accidental death.— Blackburn Gazette. 1,500 stacks of wheat in . the vicinity of Douglas arc now covered with snow ; many of the fields of wheat are also quite green.—Mona's Herald (Isle of Man.)
