The hostile feeling towards England, which animates many of the writers in the French Opposition journals, occasionally leads them into strange vagaries. In the bitterness of their resentment for supposed injuries, and in the overflowing of national prejudices directed against their nearest neighbours, they confound right with wrong, forget the very history of their own country, and make assertions which the most common observer sees at a glance tell infinitely more against France than England. The National but the other day drew up a fearful catalogue of the losses which Great Britain had sustained in North America in 1782, and the acquisitions made by the United States both at that period and afterwards. These are facts known in history ; they are honourable to the Anglo- Saxon character, and only show that the spirit which per vaded their ancestors was still cherished by the WASHING TONS, and JEFFERSONS, and MUNROS, and that the Eng lish were compelled to yield to that spirit, not so much from the power of the young and exhausted republic, as friin the sacred principles of justice and liberty, and the cordial *probation which the noble deeds of these pa triots received from a vast proportion of the British people. England lost her dominion over these pro -vineel, but liberty was established--a fresh barrier vitas raised against despotic and monarchical Go vernments her trade with the independent States continued undisturbed, and on the whole she gained infinitely more than she lost by the American Revolution. It is singular, that in making statements of this description, for the purpose of humiliating this country and cheering on the Americans to pursue their vietories, the French writer should have utterly forgotten 'he exhibitions whi c h F rance h as ma d e i n regar d t o h er colonies, her trade, and her commerce, since the middle o f the seventeenth century. No country in the world, if we except helpless and effete Spain, ruled by w omen and priests, has suffered such colonial losses as the mighty kingdom of France ; and one of these losses, the greatest of all, was mata i ne d, or rather promoted, by the idol o f the war party in France —the man who looked to ..hips and colonies as the only substantial means for onquerin,g England, or, at all events, of sharing with her the dominion of the seas. Th e French kings of the CAPET race did a great deal in that _respect for France. They established colonies, so me of them of t he most no ble descriptio n . }read we mention Pondicherry, and Lower Canada, and Louisiana ? Never was there a more thriving set tlement, nor one so likely to benefit France, as Pondi ehery was about the year 1750. French settlers ware trading with the natives, commerce was increasing daily, and the shipping and commerce of France felt the beneficial consequences ; yet all , these were sacrificed, not from any love of liberty or any noble sentiment whatever, but from sheer mismanagement and national apathy. Quebec and all its dependencies were lost somewhat in the same way; but what are we to say of Louisiana ? It was settled, we believe, under the reign of Louis XIV., and promised fair to be one of the noblest colonies in the world. After many negotiations with the Court of Sp a i n , w h o c l a i med i t as a portion of her domain in the now world, it was finally ceded to France, and handed over to NAP OLEON BONAPARTE, when First Cousal. What did he do ? lie imitated the profligate son of jszon, and "sold his birthright for a mess of pottage." He wanted money to fit out his new domestic establish - ! ment as Emperor, and sold the right of France to a rich country, extending for 2,000 miles in length and 650 in breadth, producing everything that France most required. No acquisition could have been so valuable in every respect, and, though England in the course of the war might have seized New Orleans, and formally taken possession of the country, at the general peace, it would to a certainty have been restored. Yet, fiy- BONAPARTE'S base and selfish act, it was lost to France for ever : her only hold on the American continent was gone, and thcl finest opportunity for creating shipping and colonies, and a powerful royal navy, was sacri ficed for the paltry consideration of 400,000 dollars, It would be impossible to point out any one instance of more egregious political folly; yet M. THIERS, the blind worshipper of NAPOLEON, finds no fault with him for the transaction, but, spends all hie eulogies on the deeds of his hero at Austerlitz, and Jena, and the conquests he made on the Continent, which speedily vanished like the morning mist. NA POLEON was the greatest enemy France ever had, and had she suffered no other losses than that of Louisiana, ought, for that deed alone, to be execrated by every good Frenchman. We advise, therefore, these instigators of war between England and America to look at home, and mind their own affairs. They will find that, though England has lost much colonial territory, she still has more than she really wants, and that France, in that re spect, is reduced to the very lowest ebb among the nations of Europe. We called the attention of these fire-eaters some days ago to the humiliating condi tion in which the French Chamber of Deputies placed themselves by refusing the insolent demand of one mil lion sterling made by America. The Siecle, no friend to England, admits the truth of our remarks in these words : " We shall take no part in the dispute ; all that we have to do is to state facts, and, if possible, prevent a collision. We are far from depreciating the interests engaged in the Oregon question, and if it should be settled by a war, it is well known on what side our good wishes would be ; but it ap pears to us that the affair of twenty-five millions %of francs demanded from France has proved that American democracy can push its demands beyond what is just. We admire the enterprising boldness of this republic, and sincerely desire its grandeur, but we must not accustom it to think that its equity is to have no other standard than itsown pretensions." The Opposition and Ministerial journals are occupiad with letters on the state of the relations of France with ResAs and long comments on them. The Constitutionn(l began the attack, accusing Captain PAGE, sent out to the Plata on a special mission, fur neglecting his duty and suffering himself to be duped by the artifices of RosAs, and his daughter. But the Const:tutionnel rec koned without its host. Captain PAGE, in a spirited letter, denies every word of the statements put forth. We subjoin that letter, with the comments of the Journal dcs Debats, which may be useful in explaining some of the mysterious proceedings in that quarter. Captain PAGE addressed the following letter to the Con st tuticnnel We trust that the Liberals of Hertfordshire mean to make some effort to prevent the representation of their county from passing quietly, if pass it must, from Lord GRDISTON to another Peelite. The Hertford Mercury has named a number of gentlemen who ought to be looked to by the Liberal party upon this occasion, and among them Mr. BRAND (who has old and strong claims on the county), Sir BULWER Lyrrost, Mr. SPENCER COWPER, and Mr. BLAKE, formerly Member for New port. Where there is such abundance of likely candi dates, it will be hard, indeed, if no candidate turns up. At such a time as this no county—even where the chances are much worse than any one can pretend to Consider them in Hertfordshire—should be suffered to go uncontested. Lord Joart RUSSELL'S and Lord MOR PETH'S letters have suddenly dashed away the distinc tion between Whigs and Free-traders. The cause of the Anti-Corn-law League is now the cause cf the whole Liberal party. A week ago there might have been jea lousies, and shades of opinion in the party ; that is now at an end—we hope and believe for ever. When Lcrd MORPETH has sent his subscription for Mr. COEDEN'S vote making machinery, we do not expect to hear ever again objections to League interference from Whig mouths; and Mr. COBDEN has made the amende honourable to Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Whigs for all that he may ever have said distasteful to their feelings. Let Hertfordshire then seize the opportunity, and be, as she may be, the first county to show the bread-tax Mi nister the determined union of the whole Liberal party against the starvation laws, to which his Cabinet have nailed their colours. The battle may not be won; but a victory now for corn-laws and famine will carry no joy to the heart of Sir ROBERT PEEL. If we remember right, Mr. BAKER, a Hertfordshire farmer, has been one of the orators at the great League meetings in Covent-garden. We should like- to have proof furnished of the extent to which the knowledge disseminated by the League, with such untiring perse verance, and on so many various ways—by lecturers, orators, public meetings, tracts—has told among the farmers. There is no knowing this till one tries. Con tests bring out convert& A contest now may ensure victory at the next election, if it is not within reach at this moment. Defeats beget resolutions and energy for the future. Besides, when we hear on all sides of Tories flinging party overboard, and proclaiming them selves free-traders, there is no saying how many unex pected recruits may come, when the issue of the con test will be famine or free-trade. By all means Hert fordshire should be fought. Another eletion is impending, also, in the borough of Woodstock, where about four hundred Englishmen, in vested with the elective franchise, as a trust to be exer cised for their country, have twice, within the last eighteen months, written themselves slaves of the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, and are now called upon a third time to do the same. Is there no hope, in this crisis, of , something better even at Woodstock ? Is there no shame among these four hundred freemen ? Past pro ceedings have shown that there is no shame in the dege nerate Nobleman who domineers over their consciences. But we cannot believe that the electors of Woodstock do not pant for deliverance from the disgraceful thraldom in which the Duke of MARLBOROUGH has held them ; and we could wish to see some man of spirit giving them the opportunity, and going to beard this ducal lion in his den. The once glorious name of CHURCHILL is knee n now to stink in Woodstock. The Duke's electoral serfs are most unwilling slayes. If an opposing candidate were to appear, all political questions might possibly be merged in the question of the Duke of MARLBOROUGH'S personal unpopularity. But even as to politics, rotten potatoes may teach the Woodstock electors much. If Lord ALAN CHURCHILL, the Duke's nominee, will not promise to help to give them • cheap bread, he should have the full benefit of their rotten potatoes. Gross as have been many of Lord LYNDHURST'S pre vious jobs, we doubt whether his last is not his worst. One of the Commissionerships of Lunacy, created by the Act of last session, with a salary of 1,500/. a-year sad a retiring pension (all this emolument was argued to be necessary in order to secure the services of first-rate barristers), has been filled up by the appointment of a Mr. CAMPBELL, who is a briefless barrister of some nine years' standing on the Northern Circuit, and the expla nation of whose appointment is that he is a natural son of a late Pcer. We had hoped that the Reform Act had done for the system of making the public pay for aristo cratic indiscretions by blows. We still hope that it has found its last upholder in the present Lona CHAN cELLOR. There is only one word for this appointment, and that word is disgraceful. Mr. C..MPBELL has been jobbed into an appointment for which certain members of the bar have strong claims—viz., those of the former Metropolitan Commissioners of Lunacy, who were not included in the selection for the smaller num ber of Commissioners created by the Act of last session. If none of these gentlemen were to have it, then many distinguished members of the bar would have been glad of it. It is an office much better paid than those of police magistrates. or assistant poor-law commission ers, or inspectors of prisons;—and distinguished mem bers of the bar are candidates for all these offices. When Lord Jons RUSSELL said of the Lord Chan cellor, that he received the best pay and did the least work of all the Ministers, we presume he did not in clude his job-work. Lord MELBOURNE had some time before traced Lord LYNDHURST'S mode of using his talents to a certain infernal personage ; but he beats his supposed instructor hollow— I have read in your number of to-day a recital entirely fabulous, relating to the presentation of letters which accre• dited me to General Roses, Governor of Buenos Ayres. lam perfectly aware, Mr. Editor, that every man who has the honour of being called upon to serve the King's Govern ment in La Plata must expect the most injurious attacks from a system of falshood and calumny which has for years been organised in order to delude Europe, and draw it into unjustifiable measures. I, however, owe, to the dignity of an officer commanding one of the King's ships, and charged with a special tuis, , ion to declare—first, that the letter which you have published was delivered by myself into the hands of his Excellency M. Arena, Minister fur Foreign Affairs of the Argentine Confederation, to be fully and entirely communi cated to his Excellency General Roses, according to the orders I bad received ; secondly, that this letter was re turned to me by M. Arena himself, and that it is still in my possession ; thirdly, that at the time of the presentation of this letter, and of my first audience of General Roses, I had never in my life seen Donna Manuelita, his daughter ; con sequently I give.the most formal contradiction to whoever may dare to repeat or maintain the truth of the fable you have published as to the pretended intervention of Donna Manuelita in the presentation of the letters which accredited me to the Governor of the Argentine Confederation." The attack made by the Const:tutionnel calls forth a severe reply from the Government paper, and reminds M. THIERS of his boasting on the Syrian affair. " What were the wishes of the French Government," says the Journal des Debate, "in accordance with that of Great Britain ? It wished to establish peace on both sides of the Plata ; it wished to put an end to a war at variance with the general interests of commerce, and to acts of hostility contrary to existing treaties. But it did not, nor does it now, wish to overturn the Government of Buenos Ayres ; it never had any motive for private ani mosity against the man who is its legal and acknowledged chief ; it was never within its intentions any more than within its tastes to interfere in the internal affairs of the Argentine Republic, nor to substitute any other authority for that which was established. The Govern ment then was right, before resorting to an armed inter vention, to endeavour to gain its end by pacific mediation, It desired nothing better than to see ROSAS voluntarily accept the mediation of the two powers, instead of beinp, obliged to use compulsion. To re-establish peace by force upon the banks of the River Plata was an un grateful task for both Governments, and even for the military and naval forces employed in it. Little, very little glory was to be gained by it, and the disdainful attitude of the sailors of the two countries, amidst the contests of these two pitiable republics, of these questionable nationalities, sufficiently prove the estimate they make of them. Had they no other object than to save the expenditure of money and exertion, which might be better employed, the endeavours of the French Government to bring the question to a pacif.c resolution would be more than sufficiently justified. The intervention will be carried, we do not doubt, to such an extent us circumstances may render it necessary. This is a question which the two Governments reserve to themselves the right of deciding upon. But, throughout the whole affair, the French Government has nothing to disavow, nothing to regret. It has first tried con ciliatory means, before having recourse to coercion. Is not this better than the reverse ? Is not acting thus more worthy a Government like that of France than to begin with menaces, and then recal them?—to send a fleet the moment of negotiating, and then withdraw it when the time of fighting is come? We do not wish to make a great noise about the expedition to La Plata, but we candidly ask, is it not at least worth the cam paign in Syria ?" The following statement of facts, which we find in Galignani, shows the deplorable state of the law oflibel in France : "Several of the journals complain in strong terms of a recent decision of the Court of Caseation. The Constitu tinnnet had published a rather severe criticism upon a tragedy by M. Loyau de Lacy, and had refused to in sert the defence of that gentleman in the way that he desired. Application was made to the tribunals to compel rthe Constitutionnel to comply with what M. Loyau and his professional advisers considered to be the law, and Ii When the Devil was sick, The Devil a monk would be." But in sickness, and at a time of life when sickness might be supposed to occasion serious retrospection, Lord LYNDHURST does not cease to job. We have received Madrid journals of Ihe 22d and 23d. The election for Deputies to supply the places of mem bers appointed to Government offices was going on favour. ably for the Government. At Cadiz, Valladolid, and several other towns the Ministerial candidates were at the head of the lists. This is extremely probable—indeed it is beyond doubt. NARVAEZ has so arranged matters that elections in Spain resemble very much county meetings in England, as described by the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Opposition, however, propose to make a show of resistance by nominating PACIIEGRO as a candidate for the Presidency of the Cortes, but they may save them sehes the trouble. On the 23d the Three per Cents. were done at 35 at GO days, and the Fives at 24i for the same period. The sudden rise in the Paris Stock and Share-market, which took place on Thursday, continued throughout the whole of Friday, and on Saturday morning, prices appeared rather firm ; but towards two o'clock every , thing gave way, and a heavy fall ensued, though prices remained considerably better than they had been about the middle of the week. The Three per Cents. rose to 82f. 15c., on Saturday, and the Elves to 117 f. 15c., but the former closed at 87f. 70c., and the latter at 116 f. 75c. Shares in several of the railways al s o fell considerably, but we hear of no serious fail ures, and anticipate a wore settled state of business, which declares that any person attacked by a journal in a way injurious to his character, interests, or reputation, shall -have the right of reply ; but it was decided by the Cour Royale that a eriticism upon a literary production, in which there is no personal animus against the author, is not of the nature of attack for which a remedy is provided by law. On an appeal to the supreme court this decision was reversed. and it was declared that a simple designation of the name of an author gives him an absolute right of reply, which the offending journal is bound to insert. It may readily be con ceived that this decision has caused great surprise, and given much annovance to the public press." " The Tra' peur announces as a certainty that the adjudi cation of the Lyons and Avignon railroad will take place on January 15. " The Moniteur contains a royal ordonnance ratifying the adjudication of the Paris and Strasbourg and the Tours and Nantes Railroads."

The fdet that a very large amount of bullion has been transmitted to the Irish and Scotch Banks previously to the new Act relative to them coming into operation on the 6th instant, has scarcely been taken into account, in considering the diminution in the stocks of the pre cious metals recently held by the Bank of England. For Scotland alone, it is represented by a correspondent of the Times (a Scottish banker), that 2,000,000% in gold and silver must hereafter be kept in the coffers of the banks of that portion of Great Britain. We have before stated that a very inconsiderable amount of bullion would be required for exportation to the Continent, to pay for grain sent here, and for the especial good reason that the stocks on hand there are not over-abundant. But even were such to be the fact, the managers of the Corporation would be pleased to be eased of two or three millions in this way, as they have an im mense quantity of gold and silver on hand beyond their requirements. The last instalment of the loan guaranteed by Parliament for carrying on public works in Canada has been called for. The amount required is 60,0001., which will complete the total sum that was allotted by the Legislature for the pur poses in question. The contract is too small to affect the Money-Market in any way. Tenders are to be made for it on Friday next. The last bargain in loan made was at 110. It is held almost exclusively by rich men, and transactions in it are of very rare occurrence. The period having now passed for the deposit of plane, sections, &c. with the Board of Trade, no time should be lost on the part of the " promoters"—of ommittees, whether of " management" or " provisional'—to call meetings of those interested, and to provide the funds for liquidating all claims upon them. By the Act of last session, all such " promoters, ' or by any other name whatsoever designated, are held responsible for all expenses incurred. And it is truly ludicrous to find men, who for months have permitted their names to figure among lists of provisional committees, now gravely informing the public by means of an advertise. ment, that his or their names were used without sanction, and that they have " withdrawn " from them. Such indi, viduals will, without question, find that the parties who have claims upon committees of management will not let them off so easily as appears to be contemplated. An example ought, and must be made, of parties who, while premiums could be obtained for scrip, said not a word about their names having been used without sanction, but when an adverse state of things occurs, endeavour to sneak out of the responsibilities they have incurred. There are tao arrivals of importance to-day in the City. The Funds have been rather more firm to-day. Consols for Account have advanced to 954, and for Money 95. There is, however, not much business doing. Exchequer-bills have fluctuated only from 19s. to 21s. premium. India Bonds are at 38s. premium,:and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are at 95% %. For the Foreign Funds a quiet market has prevailed to day. SpanistrActives have been in request at 27% ; and the Three per Cents. at 3E%. ale Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are firm at 58%; and the Four per Cents. Certificates are at 02. Mexican Stock opened at 301, 2 , and is now at 31. The Portuguese Four per Cents. have advanced from 55% to 57. The Railway Share Market is in an excited state this morning.

MARKET Ni.sws —(f His DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. During the past week up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of Wheat, of home produce, for our market coastwise, was on a very moderate scale; but those of English Barley, Oat,?, Beans, Peas, and Flour were rather extensive, and of full average quality. Of Irish and Scotch Oats, as well as foreign Wheat and Oats, the receipts were tolerably good. From Essex and Kent the arrivals of wheat fresh up, were far from extensive; hence the.show of samples, the largest portion of which were considerably out of condition, was no means large. The attendance of both town and country buyers was mode rately good, and who purchased most of the finest quali ties of both red and white, at in some instances, a shade above the currencies btained on this day se'nnight. As this trifling advance was not general, our quotations re main as last advised. In the middling and inferior kinds of Wheat very little was doing, yet the holders were firm, and would not submit to any reduction in the quotations. Except, therefore, for really fine parcels, the mar ket closed anything but firm. The quantity of free foreign Wheat, comparatively speaking, small, but fully adequate to meet the wants of the millers, who pur chased that article cautiously at about last week's prices. Wheat, under lock, was a mere drug; while for all other grain there was scarcely any speculative inquiry. Large. arrivals of Barley having taken place, the show of samples of that grain was large, but at least two-thirds of them were of inferior quality. Malting parcels sold readily at extreme quotations, but all other kinds bung heavily on hand, though they cannot be considered cheaper. Superfine white Malt was in good request, and last week's prices were well sup ported. In other qualities little doing. Notwithstanding the large arrivals of Oats, several vessels having come in from from Ireland since Saturday, there was a very steady trade with fine qualities, at a trifle more money. In the middling anti inferior parcels a good business was doing, and prices were well supported. The show of Beans being large the demand ruled heavy, at a decline in value of from is to 2s per quarter, and a clearantee was not effected. We had a very large quantity of Peas in the market, which sold slowly, at a redaction in the quotations of from Is to 2s per quarter. The Flour trade was steady, at pre, vious figures.

In the past week the imports of live stock for our marker from Hamburgh have consisted of 33 Oxen and Cows, toge ther with 13 Sheep, per the Countess of Lonsdale and the Neptune steamers. From Harlingen we hare reeeived 101 Cows, and 52 Sheep, per the Rapid; and from Rotterdam 64 Oxen and Cows and 207 Sheep, per the Venezuela and the Batavia. We had on sale 90 Oxen and Beasts, and 120 Sheep, in, for the most part, pod condition. The whole found buyers, at about previous quotations. At the outports, about 90 Beasts and 150 Sheep have come to hand from Holland. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning were large, even the time of year considered,,and of full average quality, especially as relates to those from the western counties. As ' was the case on this day se'nnight, the attendance of buyers was numerous, owing to which the Beef trade was steady, and last week's quotations were well supported. The northern droves comprised 1,800 Short-horns ; those from the western and midland districts, 800 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; from Ireland, 200 Beasts; and from Scotland, 100 Scots. The supply of Sheep exhibited a slight falling off. Prime old Downs sold readily, at very full prices, viz., from 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs ; but all other breeds were a slow inquiry, at barely stationary figures. In Calves, only a limited business ' was transacted. In prices we can notice no alteration. Although the number of Pigs was good, the Pork trade ruled firm, at late rates.

Although a slight increase has taken place in the arrivals of country slaughtered meat up to those markets during the past week, and the supplies of meat killed in the metropolis have been tolerably good, the general demand has ruled firm, and prices, particularly those of the primest Beef and Pork, have been steadily supported.

We regret to stat that several cargoes of diseased Pota toes have again come to hand, and been disposed of at mise rably low prices. Selected and sound qualities command a steady, though not to say a brisk demand, at 95s to 100 s for York Reds, 80s to 120 s for Regents, 80s to 90s for Scotch Reds, and 75s for Jersey Blues. About 150 tons have been imported from Holland and France, in good condition. BOROUGH HOP MARKET. For new and yearling Hops, in pockets, the demand still continues firm, at fully previous rates. In bags, however, comparatively little is doing. WOOL. The imports of Wool into London since Monday last have consisted of 477 bales from Sydney ; 557 ditto from Algoa Bay; 64 ditto from Buenos Ayres; 100 ditto from St. Petersburgh ; 30 ditto from Antwerp ; 60 ditto from Ham burgh ; and 100 ditto from various other quarters. Privately, the demand for both English and Foreign, as well as Colonial Wools, is heavy, and prices have a downward tendency. TALLOW. This market is still firm, and the demand very good ; there is not much doing prospectively, buyers keep aloof, the prices for the opening being so much above those of this day. The accounts of the total shipments at St. Peters burgh are not yet made up, but w e hope to give them in our next. The letters from St. Petersburgh bring very high prices for Tallow for next year, and at which considerable busineSs is doing. Town Tallow is 42s 6d to 43s net cash. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, Westminster Hall, before Lord DENMAN.) RITCHIE V. LUMING. In this case it appeared by the evidence that plaintiff was in the employment, as clerk, of defendant, who was a linen draper; that he was employed by the year, at a salary of 401., but was discharged in consequence of some alleged irre gularity as to late hours, &c., which plaintiff denied, and, therefore, sought to recover a half-year's salary. The case occupied some, time, and the defendant's witnesses hav ing been heard, the plaintiff's counsel, in reply, in the course of his observations on behalf of his client, said, "I admit it is never wrong to tell a falsehood upon any occasion." CoUnT—" Never wrong to tell a falsehood upon any occa sion !"—(Great laughter.) The jury found for the plaintiff, 171. 9s. 6d., being the balance of the half-year's salary due to him." EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings after Term, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) BEATON V. TIMMS. This was an action of debt for money had and received, to which the plaintiff had pleaded that he never was indebted. Mr. Jarvis appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Branwell for the defendant. Mr. Janvis stated the plaintiff's case. The plaintiff was a. gentlemen of property, residing in the Mile-end-road, and the defendant an auctioneer, carrying on business in Char lotte-street. Fitzroy-square, but the real defendants were Messrs. William and Henry Jubb, who had professed them selves to be the owners of certain copyhold property on the west side of the Uxbridge-road. On the 16th of July, in the last year a portion of this property was put up for sale by auction, and the plaintiff became the purchaser of one lot for 1991. 10s., and in accordance with the conditions of sale the plaintiff paid the defendant on the spot twenty-five per cent. on the purchase-money, and a clear half of the auction duty, and the two sums together amounted to 5.51. 6s. The conditions of sale provided that an abstract of title should be delivered to the purchaser within seven days after the sale, and all objection to such abstract of title were to be made within ten days after its delivery. The abstract was delivered at the plaintiff's residence within the seven .days, but the plaintiff being from home at the time, the ac curacy of the title could not be inquired into, or objections made to it within the specified ten days. On his return home, however, the plaintiff forwarded the abstract to his solicitor, who ascertained that Nichols, the party from whom Messrs. Jul))) purchased the property vi k s an insolvent at the time the sale to them took place. TircT therefore applied to the defendant to return the deposit money - to the plaintiff, but it was urged that the objection was not made within ten days after the delivery of the ab stract, and therefore the sale ought to be completed. Evidence Was then adduced to prove those facts, after which Mr. BRANIVELL addressed the jury for the defendant. lie admitted some of the facts stated by his Learned Friend, but denied that Nichols became an insolvent previous to his transferring the property to Messrs.
