fttely' • •Fli 96 *74 , # LORD MAYOR'S DAY. PROCEEDINGS IN THE COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Long before the civic procession arrived at West minster-hall, the Court of Exehequer, in which the Lord Mayor is presented by the Recorder to their Lordships, and sworn to execute his office, was crowded to excess. A more than ordinary number of junior barristers occupied the benches assigned to the gen tlemen of the bar, attracted thither apparently by the desire so witness the proceedings ; whilst the jury -box, and: every available space in the vi cinity of the bench, was filled with a large number of well-dressed ladies. The judges on the bench were the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Baron Platt, and they were all bellied in full bottomed wigs and gowns of scarlet and ermine. The tedium of waiting the arrival of the civic dignitaries was agreeably beguiled every now and then by some junior barrister rising in court and making some such interesting application as a motion for a " distringas," or a rule to " com pute," from v bicb, dry though such motions were, the Court, ant especially Baron Alderson, contrived to elicit conti4crable merriment, though at the expense of the applicant. Several Queen's Counsel, among whom were Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Crowder, Mr. Talbot, and others, who had vacated their usual seats in the front Barristers' bench for the accommodation of the Lord Mayor and his suite, were seated on the Officers' bench, immediately below their Lordships , . A few minutes before two o'clock the civic pro cession, headed by the Recorder, arrived, and took up their several positions in the front bench and the floor of the court, the Lord Mayor elect standing on the right of the Recorder, and the retiring Lord Mayor on his left. Order having been restored, The RECORDER proceeded to address the Court. He said he had now the honour, and it was his duty and his pleasure to present to their Lordships a gen tleman who had had the good fortune to be the object of the unanimous choice of his fellow-citizens in his election to the office of Lord Mayor of the city of London, and in doing so he might be permitted to refer to the great loss which their city had sustained in his (the Recorder's) distin guished predecessor, whose qualities were well known to their Lordships in the intimacy of private friend ship, and who not only discharged the duties of the office which he (the Recorder) had now the honour to fulfil, with dignity and efficiency in all its branches, but who usually lent to the proud ceremony of this day the grace of oratory and the most refined elocution, which he (the Recorder) could not hope to imitate. He (the Recorder) had now to present to their Lord ships James Musgrove, Esq., citizen and alderman, and a member of the Worshipful Company of Cloth workers, who had been unanimously elected to serve the office of Lord Mayor in the coming year. The Lord Mayor only aft . orded another instance among those many bright examples of men who, rising from a comparatively modest origin, attain to the highest elevation among their fellow-citizens, by force of a life characterised by industry, integrity, and probity. Himself the son of a citizen distinguished in his time, Mr. Alderman Musgrove inherited his freedom, and at the early age of twenty-one devoted all his energies to an industrious life ; and in the busi ness of a public auctioneer was entrusted with the transfer of large masses of property, necessarily, therefore, enjoying the confidence of those whose property was confided to him. At the same time, he was brought prominently into public observation, and he not only, in the course of the thirty years during which he managed his business, had the satisfaction of gaining the confidence of his fellow-citizens, but also attained to that position which enabled him to retire from business, and to devote himself to public affairs. The Learned Recorder then proceeded to state the gradations of office through which the Lord Mayor passed, especially referring to I,his having had the good fortune at the time when he was a Sheriff of London, of introduc ing to the freedom of the Company of Cothworkers the late Sir Robert Peel, a circumstance of which he was now justly proud, and required special mention; and, after passing a beautiful and touching eulogium upon the talents and virtues of that lamented states man, the Recorder said there was an incident likely to occur in the coming year which would throw on the Lord Mayor great responsibilities. It was now nearly 36 years since the Sovereigns of several nations met together in this country with the great com mander whose renown eclipsed their inferior honours. Thirty-six years had now nearly elapsed, during which England had enjoyed the longest peace in the records of history ; and on the coming year this country would have to receive not the sovereigns, but the nations themselvee. That event, when it came, would necessarily throw a great amount of responsibility on those who were entrusted with main taining the order and peace of this great City ; and the citizens of London believe d that they had selected a gentleman for the high office of Lord Mayor who would not only maintain order during that event, but contribute splendour to it, when it should occur ; in his mayoralty. The Learned Re corder then presented the retiring Lord Mayor to their Lordships, stating that, during his mayoralty, he had signally well maintained the dignity of the office and the hospitality of the Mansion-house. The LORD CHIEF BARON, addressing the Recorder, said he had the honour to congratulate him on being chosen by the unanimous voice of his fellow-citizens to the high office he now held ; he had still more to congratulate him upon the more enlarged sphere that he would now have for the exercise of those qualities which the Learned Recorder had justly presented to the attention of the Court and which had occasioned his fellow - citizens to select him to fill that important office ; for, as the Learned Recorder had observed, the proceedings of this day were not a mere gaudy and idle pageant. He (the Lord Mayor) and the officers of the city around him, as the Recorder had observed, came to do homage to the law ; they came also to claim those privileges that belonged to them, and to assert those principles which were embodied in the corporate principle, for the cor poration, of which he was the head, afforded the most illustrious example of the benefits of popular institutions, and how largely and advantageously the people might be entrusted with the management of their own affairs. His Lordship the❑ made an affecting response to the eulogium passed on the late Sir Robert Peel by the Recorder, adding, that the best tribute that could be paid to the memory of that great man would be to remember his life, and follow the example of his patriotism and his devotion to the interests of his coup try.—(Suppressed murmurs of applause.) His Lordship then referred to the benefits likely to accrue to this country and to the world at large by the forthcoming industrial exhibition in the advance ment and improvement which it might be expected to give to art and science, and in the promotion of feel ings of international amity ; and then concluded by complimenting the retiring Lord Mayor for the dig nified manner in which he had exercised the duties and maintained the hospitalities of his offi e. The usual oaths were then administered to the se• veral corporate officers, and the procession withdrew in the order in which it entered the court. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From ►he United Service Gazette of this day.) REDUCTIONS OF OUR ►STEAM DEPARTMENT.---We announced last week a reduction of the number of men employed in the steam department at Woolwich, and now we hear from good authority that the num ber of bards is to be still further reduced by 200. When the present chief engineer was appointed there were 1,000 men in the factory ; there are now only about 600. RELIIF OF THE NEW ZEALAND DIVISION.—The Havannah, 19, Capt. Erskine; Fly, 14, Commander Oliver ; and Acheron steam-ship, Copt. Stokes, now on the coast of New Zealand, are to be relieved by the Calliope, 26 ; Fantome, 12 ; and Pandora, 6, to be commissioned immediately, the latter as the sur veying vesel. THE NAVY ESTIMATES FOR 1851-52.—Orders have deen issued by the Admiralty for all dockyards and other d epartments to comp l e t e an d transm i t t h e estimate s for the next financial year as early as possible. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP INDEFATIGABLE ORDERED Homa.—Some three months since, when the a tt em pt of the Y an k ee pirates to take possession d of Cuba had been defeated, the Admiralty tached the Indefati gable, 50, from Commodore Martin's E' Squadron, direct to the Havannah, the Trincomalee q" on her passage home at that time. We regret - toecihnoegmaer, home again that the Indefatigable is now to again to Devonport ; so that, on tt.e whole, instead e of our West India Squadron being strengthened, it will actually be reduced. Some of these days, when we find, in the absence of a naval force on the station, that the Island of Bermuda, or some other colonial possession, has been seized by a baud of pirates, we shall send a man-of-war out to see what has been the matter; and finding that she is not strong enough to recover the place, she will be ordered home. We are evidently coming to this state of things with our navy by these piecemeal reductions. RETIRED CAPTAINS OF THE NAY r.—We are en abled to announce that Captain George Woolcombe, of July 22, 1830, has also accepted the retirement of 1846, on 18s. per diem. Wao WILL GO TO CHINA. ?—We learn that no Major• General has yet been found hardy enough to accept the command at Hong-Kong. Six, at least, have declined the offer, and Major-General Staveley is to remain until his successor shall be sent out, who will then proceed to Bombay. REDUCTION IN THE AEMY.—We understand that if the continental differences are amicably adjusted by the time that the Army Estimates are in course of preparation, the Government intend to carry out a further reduction in the regiments of the line. TUN VACANT REGIMENT.—The Commander-in- Chief, who is enjoying the sea air at Walmer Castle, with a select number of friends, has not yet decided to whom the vacant regiment shall be given. Wa are aware that no immediate appointment is necessary, in a pecuniary point of view, as the off reckonings can not take place until April ; it would, however, ease the minds of many old General Officers if the Duke would condescend to give the question his early at tention. THE " GOOD " CONSTABLE OF THE TOWER. — Up to the period of the Constableship of the Tower of London being conferred upon the Duke of Wellington, in 1826, it was the custom of his predecessors to sell the situations of Warders, or what are commonly termed Beefeaters—the price being 300 guineas. Upon his Grace entering :he situation, he abolished the system of purchase, but held the privilege of giving the vacancies to de serving non-commissioned officers ; and during the period of holding the situation he has appointed forty• five old soldiers, the value of whose situations would have been no less than 14,17.51., which the gallant Duke might have pocketed. Surely his Grace de serves the appellation of the " Good" Duke, quite as much as a Royal Duke lately deceased. Tim NEW CORPS FOR AFRICA.—The Secretary of b ate for the Colonies has still under consideration the formation of the new regiment for service in Af rica. The appointment of the officers will, we un derstand, be made by Earl Grey, but the opinions of such selection will be given by the Commander-in Chief. The corps will be under the command of a brevet-major. TOWER OF LONDON.—Great alterations are in course of execution at this ancient fortress; the ram parts are all being repaired, and a four-gun ,battery is being constructed at the second gate over the bridge which crosses the moat. The entrance which now faces Tower-hill is to be done away and a new entrance formed to front Thames-street. The Lion's Tower, which has for some time been used as a waiting-room for visitors, and the barrack-master's house over the arch at the front entrance is to be taken down. The half-yearly inspection of the garrison took place on Tuesday last (Guy Faux day). This is generally a very interesting ceremony, as not only the troops but the warders and other officers of the garrison assemble on the parade ground. The muster upon this occasion was larger than it has been for the last 50 years. The warders, who are commonly termed beef-eaters, alone mustering 33 out of 40 ; and many of the old veterans displayed their medals with a just pride, looking as if they would eat up Cardinal Wiseman and his bishops, with the Pope to boot, if they only had the chance. We are glad to see that the old Popish dodge of making the headsman parade with his axe was abolished upon this occasion. BOMBAY STAFF.—The appointment of the second Aide. de-Camp to Sir John Grey has not yet been made by Lord Fitzroy Somerset, in whose hands the Lieutenant-General has left the nomination. ARMY RETIREMENT.—CoIoneI Gascoigne, of the Grenadier Guards, is about to retire from the service, on half•pay. INDIA STAFF.—Captain Auchmuty, recently ap pointed to the 13th Light Infantry, from the 98th Regiment, Aide-de-Camp to his uncle at Bombay, is about to return to England on sick leave. THE ADMIRALTY.—The First Secretary, Mr. Parker, M.P., has returned from leave of absence, and has resumed official business. Captain W. A. B. Hamilton, the Second Secretary, proceeds on leave. Captain Eden, Private Secretary to the First Lord, returns from leave of absence next week. NEW 30-GUN SCREW FRIGATE.—The Admiralty have ordered a new screw-frigate to be laid down at Sheerness, on lines submitted by the Surveyor of the Navy. She is to mount 30 guns with a heavy pivot gun forward, and is to have auxiliary machinery of 200-horse power. HER MAJESTY'S SCREW FRIGATE " ARROGANT." —The Dauntless, 24, screw frigate, Captain Hal stead, took out orders to Commodore Martin, at Lisbon, to send the Arrogant to Spithead ; ?since then, however, these orders have been counter manded by the packet, and tLe Arrogant is to remain with the squadron. THE NEW DOCK AT DEVONPORT.—We have stated that the new works at Devonport Dockyard have been stopped until the right plan is agreed upon for making them as efficient as might be expected from the money spent upon the construction of them. It has been intimated, however, to the authorities that their Lordships do not approve of the suspension of the works ; but those who have undertaken to im prove them are to make haste and send in the state ment of the alterations they propose to make in the present plan. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 3d instant have arrived. Dispatches have been received from the Captain- General of the Havannah, dated the 20th September, at which time the island was so tranquil that the state of siege had been taken off. HUNGARY. A letter from Pestb, of the 31st ult., states that great sensation had been caused in that city by the families of several persons, who were executed in virtue of sentences of the revolutionary courts-mar tial, having commenced actions against the judges of the courts to recover damages. GERMAN Y. The German papers have advices from Hanau and Frankfort of the 6th inst. Their news throws some light on the negotiations which have taken place be tweeen the Bavarian and Prussian Commander. It appears that General von der Griihen addressed a letter to the Prince Thurn and Taxis, protesting that the Prussian invasion of Hesse was by no means under taken in a hostile spirit, and that Prussia merely sought to protect her communications with the Rhenish provinces. For this purpose it appeared desirable that Prussian troops should occupy part at least of the Electorate, and that he (General Groben) wished to come to an understanding on that point with the Commander of the Federal troops. He pro posed that the:Federal troops should confine themselves to the provinces of Hanau and Fluda, while the Prussian army occupied the other parts of the Elec torate. The Prince Thurn and Taxis has declined enter taining this proposition. He sees no reason why he should arrange with the Prussian general about the occupation of the Electorate, since he himself had been instructed to occupy the whole of that country. He would not oppose the Prussians in their march on the Etappe roads, but he would at once proceed to throw down all obstacles which would stand in the way of the execution of his orders, and that for that purpose he had a force of 45,000 troops at his disposal. We learn from Henan, of the 6th inst., that the Federal troops are still proceeding in the direction of Fulda, and that their head-quarters have been ad vanced from Schliichern to Fliethern. There are no troops on the Gelnhausen road, and but a small force is quartered on Gelnhausen. All the Fed e r a l • . chvi6ions are concentrated in front of the Prussian army at Fulda. Letters from Cassel, of the 6th inst., in the Kolner Zeitung, state that early on that morning the Prus sian garrison of Cassel beat to quarters, and that two battalions were sent to Fulda. Frankfort letters of the same date state that the Federal troops are advancing upon Fulda, and that the Prussian divisions retreat before them. No con flict had as yet taken place, but the resolution of the Prussian Cabinet of the same date is likely to change the tactics of General Groben, who has been in structed from Berlin to conduct his manoeuvres henceforward only with a view to military conside rations. From Vienna we learn, of the 2d inst., that the Federal army for the pacification of Germany is to consist of 120,000 Austrian, 60,000 Bavarian, and 20,000 Wurtemberg troops. This force is to be divided into three corps, viz., the Bohemian corps, with its head-quarters at Eger, close to the frontier of Franconia a n d S axony; the Franconian corps, with its head-quarters at Ascbaffenburg ; and the Suabian corps, with its head-quarters at Bregenz. The Bohemian corps consist of the flower of the Austrian army, under the command of the Archduke Albrecht. The Franconian corps is to be formed chiefly of Bavarian troops, with an addition of 10,000 Austrians. This corps remains under the command of Prince Thurn and Taxis. The Suabian corps consists of the !Austrian troops in the Tyrol and Vorarlberg, and a branch of its head. quarters will be at Ulm. As an immediate consequence of the Warsaw Conference, it is stated that a Russian agent is to be accredited at Frankfort. The following is the correspondentletter,,oLoAuyrEscEr Nov. 5. : " Unfortunately a collision took place the day before yesterday (evening) between Prussian and Austrian sol diers iu the brewery at Korb; and yesterday evening another, at the brewery at tie Green Wood and in the Grabergasse, in which blood was shed." " FULDA, Nov. 4. " Quarter past 1, P.M.—Just now the signal horns and drums sound the alarm through the :streets. The Bavarians and Prussians were separated this morning by only the distance of 2,000 feet. The Prussians intend to await the attack. flaftcpast 2 P.M.—Witha loud hurrah two squadrons of Prussian Cuirassiers galloped out of the Gerattior towards the Petersberg, in order to repel the attack which might have come from the RhOn. The artillery has been dispatched to reinforce the posts on the Frankfort road. Nothing has as yet been heard about collision or fighting. " Hslf past Four.—The troops_are_still drawn out in battle array, the baggage sent to the rear in the direc. tion of Hiinfeld. It is growing dark, but nothing as yet has been seen of any aflvance upon the part of the Bavarians. All the roads that lead to the town are strongly occupied. It seems that the troops to-night will bivouac in the open air. Belf•past 5 P.M.—Artil lery and cavalry are returning bsck to town. The troops that were drawn out aro going back to their quarters. It is not known whether the scene just described will be renewed to-night. Morning is anxiously looked for." IRELAND. THE MOUNTGASHEL ESTATES. DUBLIN, FRIDAY EvENING.—The Antrim estates of the Earl of Mountcashell were put up for sale this day in the Rotunda. The property was offered in four divisions, which were di vided into lots: The result was as follows :—ht division, consisting of six lots, but one sold which brought 7,0001. 2d division, 17 lots, three sold, which produced together the sum of 5,6501. 3d division, one lot, which sold for 9,8001. 4th di vision, six lots, one sold for grbss total of sales, 20,750/. There was no lack of bidders, but the sums offered were far below the estimated value of the several lots. TUE CORN TRADE.—The supplies of grain to our corn market to-day were again small, and all denomi nations met a good demand, without any alteration in the currency of Tuesday. White wheat, 20s. to 255. 6d._; red, 18s. to 235. ; barley, 102.6 d. to 13.. 3d. ; here, 98. to 10s. ; oats, Bs. 63. to 103. ; rapeseed, 201. to 223. 63. ; oatmeal, 93. 61 to 10s 63. ; flour (second), 133. to 163. ; Indian corn, per 480 lb., 275. to 31s. 6d. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As the demaHds made for .pace greatly ex ceed the capabilities of the Crystal Palace, I propose— lstly. Twit contributors of money who require space for exhibtion should have a preference to non contributors of money. 2dly. That those parties who have already sub scribed should be preferred to the lukewarm, who may yet do so with respect to their demands for space. - Perhaps these remarks may find a corner in your valuable paper.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., Glasgow, Nov. 7, 1850. EXCHEQUER. THE ASSUMPTION OF POWER BY THE POPE OF ROME. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—As in the discussion which has taken place on this subject an important part of the argument appears to have been passed over, and as there are some slight doubts as to whether we can annul what the Pope has had the audacity to do, I would supply that omission by referring your readers to the first and third paragraphs of the thirty-seventh article of our religion :—" The Queen's Majesty bath the chief power in this realm of England and other her dominions, unto whom the government of all estates of this realm, whether they be ecclesiastical or civil, in all causes doth appertain, and is not, nor ought to be, subject to any foreign jurisdiction." Again, in the third paragraph of the same article of our Pro testant faith,—" The Bishop of Rome bath no juris diction in this realm of England." If the Articles of Re►igion established by Royal assent in Convocation, in 1562, are part of the British Con stitution, then does the Pope of Rome stand convicted of having acted illegally by his assumption of power over our beloved Sovereign and the laws of our country.—l am, Sir, &c., MICHAEL CONSTABLE. Chelsea, Nov. 9th, 1850. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1851. The following are the present fixtures as nearly as we can make out:— MARCH. Doncaster Spring AP: Northampton . 26 IL. Newmark.

We are sorry to hear that William Butler, the jockey, formerly with Mr. T. Parr, died of cholera on board the Ilindostan, en route from Suez to India, on the 11th of September, after an illness of thirteen hours. THE MOORS.—Mr. Crompton closed his season at Corrour on Monday, the 21st of October, having had most excellent sport. With his friend s , dr. Blair,M.P. for Bolton, and Mr. Woolmer, of Exeter, aided by the gun of an occasional visitor. ho bagged the large number of 3,077 head of game, Mr. Crompton killed with his own gun upwards of 1,000 head, including grouse, ptarmigan, hares, snipe, and roe. Mr. Blair was not far behind. The birds were remarkably healthy, and, as Mr. Crompton did not commence till the 31st of August, they were strong on the wing, and in fine plumage. These results will suggest to the true sportsman the great benefit he would derive by not beginning to shoot on the 12th of August, at which time scarcely a brood of birds have come to perfection, being neither fit to kill, nor lit for carriage when killed. As for the amusement of shooting " cheepers," to make up a bag, let those in dulge in it who shoot for " numerical" fame, and not for the real enjoyment of the sport. Another advantage of not commencing until about the Ist of September is the certainty of more birds being left to ensure sport for the next year. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, Nov. 8. ORIEL COLLEGE. Messrs. Beck and Cookson, commoners of this col lege, were this day elected to exhibitions ; and Harrison was elected to a scholarship, for which there were 17 candidates. The annual speech in commemoration of Sir Tho mas &iley was delivered to-day by Mr. Charles Newton, M.A., of Christ Church. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 8. HEBREW. The undermentioned gentlemen have been declared to have passed the voluntary examination in Hebrew : Examiner—W. H. Mill, D.D., Trinity, Regius Professor of Hebrew. Buttemer, A., B.A.,Emman.

The trustees of Crane's charity, for the relief of sick scholars, will bold a meeting at Jesus College Lodge on Tuesday, the 19th of November, to consider and determine the claims of applicants. Applications must be made by scholars to the tutors of their res pective colleges, and contain full particulars both of the medical charges and of the circumstances of the applicants. The grants will be confined to such charges as have been incurred during the half-year immediately preceding the meeting. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. We believe we can offer priority of intelligence upon a topic which is at this moment of the deepest possible interest to the inhabitants of the principality —especially to those who reside westward of Swansea. A new agreement has been entered into between the directors of the Great Western Railway Company and the directors of the South Wales Railway Com pany, which secures to the latter company a certain income to a small amount, and a chance of making additional profit. This agreement merely waits the formal sanction of the shareholders to render it at once operative. There cannot be a doubt that by this arrangement a great deal of litigation and an enormous expense will be dispensed with, as we are cognizant of the fact that the Great Western di rectors were determined to avail themselves of every possible opportunity to break through their original agreement with the South Wales Company. This perplexing difficulty having been happily solved, and the South Wales Company being thus extricated from the hands of the lawyers, we are further in. formed that as so much money has already been ex pended upon the line westward of Swansea, the works to Carmarthen will be almost immediately proceeded with. As the agreement with the Great Western Company merely comprehends the traffic between Swansea and Gloucester, the South Wales Company have determined to progress westward independently of their powerful English neighbours, and thus the explanation which we were some time since autho rised to publish by Mr. Talbot, M.P., the Chairman of the South Wales Company, will be verified to the letter. At all events the shoals and quicksands which beset the efforts of the directors have by this new agreement been cleared away, and they are left with free scope to carry out their intentions, which will therefore, we should imagine, be so much the. more rapidly and readily accomplished.-- Welshman. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 8. (Sittings in thnco, befo►e Lord Chief Justice JERVIS, and Justices MAULS, WILLIAMS, and TALFOURD.) SIBURY V. WILKINS. In this case Mr. IlAwrcuss moved for a rule nisi to rescind au order of the Chief Justice for setting aside the judgment in this case. The action was com menced on the 15th of February, appearance was entered on the 24th, and afterwards a judge's order was agreed to, by which the debt was to be paid by certain instalments, and the action was to be stayed. Some of the instalments had been paid. Afterwards there had been a change of attorney on the part of the defendant, and a summons was taken out to set aside that judge's order, and that summons had been referred by his Lordship to the full Court and came on to be heard the other day. No intimation had been given to the plaintiff that that order was intended to be acted upon until the 12th of September, before which time, namely, on the 11th, the plaintiff regu larly signed judgment, the instalments not having been paid ; and a summons had been taken out to set aside that judgment, and the Lord Chief Justice had set aside the judgment on hearing the facts. The Learned Counsel now asked for a rule to set aside that order setting aside the judgment. The LORD CUIES xnuat say it is rather a strong motion, Mr. Hawkins, under the circum stance.. The plaintiff, however, shall not be pre cluded from making his motion after the other motion in this case has been heard, if it shall then be neces sary. The motion must be postponed. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, IVoy. 8. (Sittings in Banco.) SKINNER V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to recover damages from the defendants for negli gence in carrying him as a passenger for hire, by reason of which be suffered certain injuries. The de fendants pleaded that he was not a passenger on their line. At the trial before Sir F. Pollock, on the last Home Circuit, it appeared that the plaintiff had taken a ticket from the Treasurer of the Printers' Pension Society, for the benefit of which body an excursion trip to Brighton had been arranged. At Anerley the excursionists' ran into another train which had started from London before them, and had there been suddenly arrested in its progress by a luggage-train, the engine of which had broken down. Under these circumstances, the Chief Baron was of opinion that there was evidence to go to the jury to show negli gence even in the fact of the collision, and a verdict passed accordingly for the plaintiff. Mr. BRAMWELL now moved for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection in this respect. He sub mitted that the plaintiff was bound to make out some specific act of negligence on the part of the company, and that it was not enough for him to show merely that an accident had occurred which injured him. It might be that no precaution could have averted the accident. Mr. Baron ALDEBSON.—It might be that it was negligence h the company to run trains so frequently that when one stops it is impossible for the next one to avoid a collision. I think the Chief Baron was right. _ Mr. BRAMWELL then submitted that the plaintiff ought to be nonsuited, as he had not proved the con tract, as laid in the declaration. He was no passenger in any train of the defendants, but was a passenger in the excursion train appropriated to the society ; and, though he might not be a member of that body, yet, as he had taken his ticket from the steward, the company had not contracted with him. The COURT, however, was of opinion that there was no ground for the motion. The train was that of the company ; for it appeared that one of the witnesses had taken his ticket at the office in the usual way, so that it was not confined to the Printers' Pension So ciety. As to the first ground, it was clear that the facts proved were evidence to go to the jury to make out negligence. The rule must be refused.—Rule refused. COURT OF BANKRUP7 CY, Nov. 8. (liiidore Mr. Commissioner FoNELANQuE.) IN BE OWEN GRAY. The bankrupt was a builder in Great Tower-street. A second-class certificate was granted, on the con dition that he should execute a bond for the subse quent payment to his creditors of a dividend of ss. in the pound, subject to the discretion of the Court to enforce the bond. Mr. Lawrance was unsuccessful in an application to obtain aeertificate without this con dition, the Learned Commissioner stating that profes sional men who stepped out of their course and ren dered themselves liable to the bankrupt law, must take the consequences. He considered that they, in some degree, pledged their professional incomes to their creditors. IN RE J. MAINPRICE. The bankrupt was an innkeeper at Soham. His balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. Pettis, shows debts, 4051.; assets, 901. An adjournment had been or dered, that the bankrupt might satisfactorily account for the disposal of some wine. This was done, and he passed his examination. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN RE TAYLOR. The bankrupt's debts (a cheesemonger, of Staines) are 4001, and many of the creditors not having proved, there will be an average dividend. He had been struggling with difficulties many years; the assignee considered him to be an honest man, and no creditor preferred any complaint; the Commissioner, however, suspended the certificate six months, and to be of the third class only, on the ground that the bankrupt had been a bad bookkeeper, and ought to have come to that court earlier. It was in vain urged that the bankrupt bad offered his creditors 103. in the pound, and come to the court voluntarily upon the first judgment being obtained against him. The Court could not order a less suspension, or award a certifi cate of a higher class, but it would grant protection. IN BE GEORGE BULLER. The bankrupt was an auctioneer. This was the examination meeting. The bankrupt's balance-sheet, as prepared by Messrs. Mackillop and Young, extends from January, 1842, to June, 1850, and contains the following items :—To capital, 3,451/. ; to creditors, 173/. ; to drawings from the firm of Fuller and Marsh, and G. and R. Fuller, 1,995/. ; to partnership liabilities, 6,463/. The a , sets are about 2,0001. An adjournment was ordered, that some partnership ac counts might be filed. IN RE TOMLIN. The bankrupt was an innkeeper at Finchley. His certificate was unopposed, but the Learned Commis sioner said .it mmst be suspended for twelve months. The bankrupt had been little better than a brewer's puppet, except that he had gone out of his way to add farming to the business of innkeeper. He almost doubted whether he ought to grant certificates at all to brewers' puppets. However, in this case, as there was no opposition, the certificate would be suspended twelve months. (Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.) IN RE RADFOR D AND SOUTHALL. The bankrupts were coal merchants in Gracechurch street. Their balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. Glover and Son, contains the following items:—The separate balance-sheet of Southall showed debts of 4, 0 1 r 37 w 1. a, llßanking Cm a sum Comp an y, n y, and et f 1 , 13 3 1. to the of Devon (3h3,1291. The capital was 2,0081. The debts of Radford are 1,5551.; the assets, property, and good debts, 745/. ; doubtful debts, 528/. The bankrupts passed. IN RE JOHN GRIFFITHS. The bankrupt was a draper carrying on business in the Strand and at Hoxton. His balance-sheet, as prepared by Messrs. Mackillop and Young, extends from the 3d of April, 1847, to the 3d of August, 1850, and contains the following items :—Dr.: To capital in 1847, 2 , 203/ . ; to creditors, 4,022/. ; to '5081.; t ra d e expenses, 5,0 creditors holding security , 803 /. ; gross profits, 4,2511.

Charter was bisalawnacreu sheet,s warehouseman an in House e -square. upt His es prepared by Mr. Butler, shows debts, 2,8111.; assets, 790/. Mr. Lawrance supported, and Mr. Linklater op. posed the certificate. After some discussion, His HONOUR granted the bankrupt an immediate certificate of the third class. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN RE JARDINE. The bankrupt was a draper and the actuary of the Dartford Savings' Bank. The certificate meeting was this day adjourned in order to give further time for the depositors to prove their debts against the estate, in order that they may be in a position to op. pose the certificate should they think proper to do so. Mr. Jones, of Sise-lane, appeared for the assignees ; Mr. Linklater for the bankrupt. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, .Nov. 8. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN THE XATTER OF LIEUT. CHARLES ABNEY MOUAT. This insolvent, a lieutenant on full pay in the 50th . Regiment of I n f an t r y (Queen's Own), who had dis tinguished himself during the Indian campaign, ap plied under the Protection Act. Mr. Nicholls opposed for Philip Bey fus, and Mr. Dowse for Messrs. Lyon and Co. Mr. Cooke, with whom was M r . Sargood, supported the application. The case was before the Court in August, when it was adjourned with the view of effecting an arrange ment, but it had not been completed. Mr. Nrcuor.Ls and Mr. DOWSE submitted that the insolvent, having incurred debts with the opposing creditors, without reasonable or probable expectation of payment, it was not a case for protection. Mr. Coox made a powerful appeal to the Court on the part of the insolvent. It was a painful position for a gentleman to be placed in who had distinguished hiravelf in the service of his country, who had re ceived honourable wounds, end who would suffer from them for the rest of his days. There was a class of persons, such as students at the Universities, clergy men, and officers in the army, who were preyed upon by another class, ruinous bill-discounters, who tempted the unwary with their Birmingham ware or with their money, for which they made the borrowers pay some sixty per cent. Was this Court to protect such a class of persons —men who protected themselves in the exorbitant interest they charged ? He hoped the Court would protect the gentleman now before it, and shield him from such a class of persons, relying as he had done on the promise of Lieutenant Muller's, that he would rather sell his commission than he should suffer—a promise which would have been fulfilled, but fur the sudden death of that gentleman. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said he would again ad journ the case, to see whether something could not be done between the parties, by which he would be relieved from the painful duty of deciding the matter. He felt the force of what had been said by the Learned Counsel for the insolvent. The question was a simple one ; it was this :—Had the insolvent rea sonable expectations of paying the debts when he in curred them ? Had he such a reliance on the pro mise of Lieutenant Mullens that he would receive the money from him, that he could accept the bills., and make himself liable ? He hoped the matter would be settled before the next occasion. The case was adjourned to the 9th of January nest and protection renewed. IN RE ADAM GILFILLAN. This insolvent, :who was a tally linen-draper and tea-dealer, having " rounds" at Greenwich, was op posed by Mr. Cooke, for Mr. Tarsey, warehouseman, Alderinanbury ; Mr. Peram, tea-dealer ; M-ssrs. Outhwaite and Co., tea-dealers ; and other creditors. Mr. Sargood supported. The case occupied several hours on Thursday, and judgment was given at the end of the day. Several complaints were urged against the insolvent. He owed 3231, contracted in a short time. He had nine creditors, and as many as 323 debtors on the tally system, who owed him 257/. It was urged that the insolvent had made-away with his property, in con nexion with a person named Hill and a Mrs. Wilson, from which last-mentioned person money, it was al leged, had been borrowed. A meeting of the credi tors had been called in April last, and accounts were exhibited, which were now admitted to have been false. Another complaint was, that the insolvent had obtained about 2001. worth of goods in a very short time from the opposing creditors, paying them nothing. Mr. Commissioner LAW was of opinion that the creditors had been grossly cheated, and remanded the insolvent for 18 months, for contracting debts by fraud, for making away with property, and making false en tries in his account-books. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Richard Hammett Drake, charged with having feloniously embezzled the sums of 4771. 1 le. 3d., 125/. 18s. 6d., and 51., the property of his employers, Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co., was brought up for final examination. The prisoner, it will be recollected, had made a confession to a fellow-clerk, by whom he had been pursued, of having plundered the house, and witnesses were produced at the former examination to show that he had feloniously appropriated the sum of 4771. lls. 3d. The following is the substance of the evidence with which the final examination of the prisoner con cluded : Mr. D. King, clerk to Messrs. Twining and Co., bankers in the Strand—On the 29th of June I re ceived directions to pay to Robarts and Co., Lombarl. street, 72/. 14s. 11d., to the credit of the Rev. Henry Mair ; and 531. 3f. 7d. to the credit of Messrs. Mayor and Brackenbury. I paid those two sums in notes and money as follows : one Bank of England note for 100/., No. 30,442 ; one for 20/ No. 83,138 ; and Si. 18s. 6d. money. The person to whom I paid the amounts gave me the receipts produced, as far as I can remember. Mr. Edward P. Nunn, clerk to Messrs. Dixon and Co., bankers, in Chancery-lane, said—On the 13th of October last I had to pay 51. to Messrs. Robarts, and I received the acknowledgment produced. Mr. G. T. Oldfield, clerk in Messrs. Robarts, Cur tis, and Co.'s bank, proved that the receipts produced were in the prisoner's handwriting. It was also proved that there was no entry in the cash-book of the sums referred to. Alderman GIBBS then asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything ? The prisoner—Nothing whatever. He was then committed for trial. GUILDHALL. William Dawn was charged with stealing a num ber of books, the property of Mr. Collins, bookseller and publisher, of 113, Fleet-street, his master. Mr. Collins stated that on Tuesday last he missed one volume of Knell's Chemistry, and on the following day another volume of a different work, value, cost price, 1/. lls. 6d. On making inquiries he found prisoner had taken them to Simpkin and Marshall's, and sold them. The books had been originally pur chased from Simpkin and Co.'s, and prisoner was sent there to buy other books. He took the two volumes back and got the firm to allow for them in the goods he was buying, instead of entering them to Mr. Col lins's account as goods received back. Police•constable, 372, said he took prisoner into custody about eight o'clock on Thursday evening. He denied all knowledge of the charge ; and when taken before the inspector at the station, he said, "It's no use telling a lie about it, I did take the books. I sold them for 1/. 11s. 6d., and got the money. If you will take me back to Mr. Collins I will pay him for the books." Prisoner saw Mr. Collins shortly after, and said, "If you will forgive me, master, I'll pay you for the books." Witness searched prisoner's lodgings at No. 6, Bride-lane, and found a large trunk full of books of various descriptions, amounting in number to about 86 volumes. 'There were also some articles of wearing apparel, and about 21. 13i. in money. Witness went to Simpkin and Co.'s, and they immediately produced the two volumes prisoner had sold them back. A fellow•servantof the prisoner's was here produced to identity the books as his master's property, but he prevaricated in such a manner that his evidence was perfectly useless. At length questions were put to him so straightforward and distinct that he could not possibly misunderstand them, but he still con tinued to prevaricate, and Alderman HUNTER said he would not trouble him any further. He had made his decision, and he would commit the prisoner to the House of Correction for two months, and punish the last witness, who acted as a friend towards the prisoner, by sending him to the same place for seven days. SOUTHWARK. Mary Sprery, a young woman with an infant in her arms, attended before Mr. Arnold, to solicit his advice under the following circumstances : The applicant stated that she had been in service in Cork, and twelve months ago was married to a private in the 26tb, or Cameronians, which regiment was then quartered in that city. About eight months ago the regiment was ordered for foreign service, and her husband embarked for Gibraltar, a certain number of the men's wives going out with them, but she was not included. Since then she had given birth to the infant she held in her arms, and as she was unable to make a livelihood in Cork, she came over here with a view of proceeding to Jersey, the dersilft of the regiment, in the hope that the officers in command there would send her and her child over to Gibraltar to join her husband. She raised money enough by pawning her clothes at Cork to defray the expense of her passage to London, and arrived on Saturday, but being destitute of everything, she applied to the officers of the parish of Bermondsey, who refused to as sist her on her journey, and she therefore called here to know what she was to do. Mr. ARNOLD said that she ought not to have left Ireland, her home, without being provided with the means of proceeding to her husband. It was evident she came over here upon the mere chance of getting out to Gibraltar, so that whatever privations she en dured she bad brought upon herself by her precipi tancy in not making the requisite inquiries before she left Cork. Mr. Slow, one of the relieving officers of Ber mondsey, being in court on other business, and hear ing the nature of the application, said that on Sundy morning a large steam-boat arrived in the river crowded with poor people from Ireland, some of whom were landed on the north and others on the south side of the water, without money and in rags. In their distress, the unfortunate people applied for relief, many of them at Bermondsey workhouse, and although they had no claims upon the parish, they were relieved with food, but the guardians had de termined not to put the parish to the expense of send ing them back again—that they were brought over here for 2s. and 2e. 6d. per head, and that to send them back to Ireland, the parishes were charged at the rate of twenty-six shillings for each adult. That under such circumstances, they (the guardians of Bermondsey) had come to the resolution not to pass any but those who had a claim by having lived in the parish for some length of time. It was only the pre ceding day he had paid on account of the parish a large sum of money for the expenses attendant upon passing paupers to Ireland. That with respect to the applicant, it appeared she had only been in London since last Saturday, and had slept in Bermondsey. He knew that money would not be given her to take her to Jersey, whence it appeared she wanted to go, but they would have no objection to give her a little temporary relief. The applicant said that if she had as much as would pay her passage to Jersey, she was confident that at the depot of her husband's regiment she would meet with friends who would subscribe and send her out to Gibraltar. At all events, they would not let her starve. Mr. ARNOLD directed that the applicant should apply again to the parochial officers of Bermondsey to relieve her present wants. In about au hour she returned to the court, and presented a note, given to her by the relieving officer, merely specifying as follows:—" Admit Speery to see the guardians on Wednesday, the 18th day of Nov., 1850, at four o'clock." Tne applicant said that she did not know what to do until next Wednesday, or where to go, being en tirely destitute ; and that with her infant she would be compelled to remain in the streets. Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, on perusing the reliev ing officer's note, said that the woman could not exist from that day until next Wednesday without relief, and that they were bound to see that she did not starve. He therefore sent her back to Bermondsey with Winch, the summoning officer, with a request that she might have immediate relief. THE LATE PLATE ROBBERIES Martin Maguire, the man implicated along with Macauley and Sirrell in the late extensive plate rob beries, but who was discharged from custody through want of proof being produced of his handwriting, was placed at the bar at the Liverpool Police-court yes terday (Friday),on a charge of having had in his pos session a gold watch, knowing the same to have been stolen. Police-officer Johnson stated that on the previous Friday afternoon he received instructions from Mr. Clough to go in search of the prisoner, and proceeded for that purpose to Wrexham. On the Wed❑esday afternoon a carpet-bag was taken by a female in an omnibus from Wrexham to Chester. He proceeded to Chestcr, and saw the prisoner go into Mr. Hook's public-house. He then proceeded to the Police-office, Chester, where he met Bates, one of the detective officers of the Liverpool police force, and they went together to Mr. Hook's, and took the prisoner into custody. Bates deposed that on apprehending the prisoner in Chester they found upon him a 101. note and a silver watch. He (Bates) told him that they were taking him into custody on the charge of stealing a gold watch at Halifax. On the 2d of October last he (Bates) apprehended the prisoner on a charge of being implicated in the sale of stolen plate, and on searching him on that occasion found in his pocket a key which opened a chest claimed by Maguire, and in this chest he found a ticket for a gold watch pledged in September last. He obtained possession of the watch from the pawnbroker, and found that the num ber and maker's name had been taken from it, but in consequence of information he was possessed of he took it to Coventry, to Mr. Hill, a watchmaker, who, on taking it to pieces, stated that he was the maker, and that he had supplied it to Mr. Toleno, of Halifax. Mr. Wheeler, the attorney for the prisoner, here interrupted the officer, and objected to any state ment made to him by a third person being retailed in court. Mr. Rushton said he should take good care that nothing should be taken against the prisoner which was not strictly evidence, but it was necessary for the ends of justice that the whole history of the case should be gone into. Mr. Wheeler rather pertinaciously urged his ob jection, but it was overruled by Mr. Rushton telling the officer to proceed with his statement. Bates went on to state that Mr. Voleno's shop, in Halifax, was entered on the night of the 14th of July by means of cutting a circular piece out of the door, in a similar way to the means adopted to accomplish the late Liverpool suburban robberies, and property to the value of nearly 2,0001. stolen. The watch had been pledged in the name of Murphy. The prisoner (impetuously indignant)—The ticket belongs to me, and you found it in the chest. What is the use of making such a blather about it ? The prisoner here consulted with his attorney, who informed Mr. Rushton that he wished to know whe ther the examination would be gone into here or elsewhere. Mr. Rushton said this depended upon circum , stances. Prisoner—l can prove that I bought the watch and paid a fair price for it. Mr. Rushton—You are at liberty to do anything you like about it. The prisoner was placed under a general remand. It may be interesting to this case to state that some time ago a man of the name of Murray, alias Haw kins, was, along with others, tried and convicted for having robbed the captain of a vessel of four dou bloons, by means of " ringing the changes." Hawkins kept, under the guise of a beer-house, a rendezvous for thieves. After being detained in custody, his wife went to the police-station to make inquiry after her husband, having heard of his apprehension. On searching her a roll of bank notes, to the amount of 351., was found, and she was detained, aud, being taken before the magistrates, remanded for seven days. During this time Mr. Bes wick, chief superin tendent of the Manchester police, wrote to Mr. Clough to ascertain whether he was in a position to establish a case against the prisoner, otherwise he had a charge against her for receiving 40 gold watches, stolen from the premises of Mr. Voleno, of Halifax. The prisoner was given into the custody of the Man chester police, and on her trial the case was proved against her, and she is now imprisoned in York Castle. When Bates apprehended Maguire he (Ma guire) stated that he he had bought the watch from Hawkins, and that he had paid a fair trade price for it ; and in his statement made before Mr. Rushton to-day to that effect Hawkins is the person to whom he alludes. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAREFIELD, Nov. B.—The arrival of wheat con tinues large, for which the demand is very inactive and much confined to the finest qualities, on which there is but little submission in price; for other descriptions a reduction of Is per quarter is made without effecting a clearance.

B.—At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, who directed their attention chiefly to barrel fluur, of which they purchased to a fair extent at late rates. Wheat and sack flour were comparatively neglected, but Tuesday's prices were generally well maintained. Fine malting oats were scarce, and rather dearer, but inferior and oatmeal were difficult to move. In barley, beans, and peas there was hardly anything done. Indian corn met with a moderate demand, and 29s 6d per quarter was refused for prime flat American yellow, being an im provement of about 6d per quarter since Tuesday. NEWBURY, Nov. 7.—The supply of wheat to-day is a fair average, but the condition is by no means good. For old and the finest descriptions of new full rates have readily been given, whilst other descriptions are a dull dragging sale, at rather declining prices. Barley mo derate supply; best malting, of which there is but little in offer, sells freely at full rates, but other sorts are very difficult to quit, at a reduction of is per quar ter. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, and in fair re quest at late rates. Eliumen, Nov. B.—Cattle—A very small supply, but it seemed equal to the demand. No very first-rate beef was driven in—but for what was sold the price varied from 7s to 7s Sd per score. Cows and calves were not plentiful, and sold at 71 to 111 each. In barreners, steers, and store bullocks generally no alteration from last week. The supply of sheep was also small, fat wethers 5d per lb; ewes, 41d. Pannier—Turkeys, 4s 6d to 6s each; geese, 4s to 4s 6d; ducks, 3* 3d to 4s 9d per couple; fowl*, 2a 64 to 4s ditto; pheasants, 6s to 6s 6d per brace; partridges, 2s 9d to 3s ditto; wild ducks, 4s 6d to 5a ditto; teal 2s to 2s 6d ditto; widgeon, 3s ditto; wood cocks, 3s 6d to 411 ditto; hares, 2.

Foreign is still comparatively dearer than Eng. lish, and nothing is doing. Malting barley, 2s 9d to 3s per bushel; oats, is 10d to 2s ditto. Fine flour, 29a to 30s per sack. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. W B.—Scarc e ly IQO hhds of 'Pest India sugar have been disposed of thi s week, the offices being still quite bare of samples; prices are steady. The refined market has been exceedingly quiet, and must be quoted as rather easier. In rum the sales of the week are unimportant.—Bristol Mercury. LLANRWST, Nov. s.—Wheat from 12s to 14s, Barley 7s to Bs, Oatmeal 10s. Potatoes, which are plentiful, 6s. DENBIGH, Nov. 6.—The market this day was very dull, and but little business transacted. Wheat from 12s to 12s 6d per 168 lbs, barley 8s per 147 lbs. Oats vary from 4s 6d to 7s 3d per 105 lbs. WRTHERIIY, Nov. 7.—.
