COURT OF QIIFJLN''S BENCH-JAN. 18. This was a special case, the facts of which were as fol lows :—A vessel bound upon her voyage was obliged to go, by stress of weather, out of her due course • she was dragging her cables, and for the preservation of the lives of the crew, the captain ran her into the tidal harbour Of Sancon, near Calais, at low water. She touched the ground, and finally settled on the mud, in such a manner that she was only lifted from her position at extraordinary high tides. She remained in the predi cament for about two months. The question was— whether this was a " stranding " within the clauses of the policy of insurance, or a mere " taking the ground " in the ordinary course of navigation. Lord Campbell said that he was of opinion that this was "standing " within the meaning of the memoran dum upon the policy of insurance ; and the other judges concurring, judgment was given accordingly for the plaintiff W 1 GENCE. MIDDLESEX SESSION,—Jam. 18. (Before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant-Judge, and a bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.) The Court to-day continued hearing appeals. THOMAS C. GLOVER V. A CONVICTION OF ARNOLD, ESQ. This was an appeal against a conviction made at the Westminster Police-Court, under which the appellant was to pay a fine, or suffer a term of imprisonment, for keeping an unlicensed theatre, in York-street, West minster. Mr. Parry appeared for the appellant ; Mr. Birnie in support of the conviction. It was admitted that the place in question was, to all intents and purposes, a theatre , and that it was unlicen sed. When th e case came before Mr. Arnold, a legal gentleman, who app eare d f or th e d e f en d an t, th e p resen t appellant, admitted that his client was the owner of the premises, and urged that he had some sort of an autho rity under a license from the " Queen's trumpeter." The magistrate held that the authority contended for had no existence in fact, upon which the advocate for the appel lant said he had been misled, and that he would under take that the theatrical representations should not be repeated. Upon this, Mr. Arnold postponed his deci sion for a week, and when the parties appeared on the second occasion, another solicitor represented the defen dant, and tendered evidence to show that he was not the keeper, but that instead he had let it to another person, although he still occupied apartments in the premises of which the theatre formed part. The agreement was tendered as evidence, but Mr. Arnold rejected it, and at the same time remarked upon such evidence being brought forward after the admissions of the former day. The appellant and another were convicted, and such of the corps as were summoned were discharged, on pro mising to abandon their respective engagements. Mr. Parry now repudiated the admissions made when the parties were first before the magistrate, and said that his client would not be bound by any unauthorised state ment made at that time. The conviction was for " keep ing" this unlicensed theatre—a sort of establishment, the learned counsel observed, en passant, none condemned more than be did; but he should prove that the " keeper" of the theatre was a person of the name of Nelson, to whom Glover had let it. If he showed this, the Court would not go beyond the limits of the conviction and say that because the appellant had disproved one offence he was guilty of another. Evidence confirmatory of counsel's statement was then given. The AssiFtant-Judge having consulted the Bench, said the case was a very singulal• one, and the Court had come t o its decision with very great reluctance—the more so, a s it was quite clear the appellant was the owner of this p lace, and had knowingly let it as an unlicensed theatre —an offence, in point of morals, the same as that of which he had been convicted by the magistrate. it was most singular that a different defence was set up now to that set up before the magistrate, and the Court looked with a jealous eye upon that defence ; and if it had been made at first, the appellant would have been convicted of unlawfully letting, and then there would have been no escape for him. Under all the circumstance; the Court unanimously thought the conviction should be q uashed ; but if the appellant was brought up again for letting, it would be a very serious matter. Conviction quashed accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—George Arrell, a young man in the mploy of Scott, the bill-sticker, appeared to a summons charging him with having destroyed two posting-bills of the Haymarket and Adelphi Theatres, the property of Mr. B. Webster. For several weeks past a species of warfare has been arried on between the rival bill-stickers of Drury-lane nd the Haymarket Theatres, owing to a disputed fight of boarding, The scene of the present battle was in Long Acre, where by the permission of Mr. Burstall, the builder, the placards of the Haymarket and Adelphi were displayed upon the hoarding in front of some houses elonging to that gentleman, who stated that he granted he privilege exclusively to the above theatres, although admitting, in cross-examination, that he allowed Mr. lbert Smith a portion of the space for the accommoda on of " Mont Blanc." Evidence having been given relative to the destruction the posters by the defendants, who was found covering them with lamp-black. Mr. Driscoll (the defendant in previous cases) stated that he was employed by Mr. Webster to obtain by fa vour, purchase, promise of "orders," or otherwise, the best hoardings that could be procured in and within ten miles of London. It was then his duty to affix to these the private boards or frames belonging to Mr. Webster, and place the bills upon them; but Mr. Scott, the Drury. lane bill-sticker, who had almost a monopoly of the trade, and employed a great many men, was constantly autho rising persons to efface or destroy them. In cross-examination by Mr. Fenton, the witness ad mitted that the Drury-lane bills (about 251. worth) were blacked first, but he denied having authorised any one to do it. He knew who did black them, and on being pressed, said it was a bill-sticker named Wells. Mr. Webster, the lessee of the Haymarket, expressed his regret that this battle of the bill-stickers should con tinue, for he had done all in his power to avoid collision with others by securing his own sites, which he had only accomplished by a considerable outlay. Mr. Jardine, after suggesting ti e t erms o f peace, ordered the defendant to pay ss. for damage and costs of the summons. MARYLEBONE. —Joh,n Welch, a labourer, was charged by Colonel Tovey, 54, Cambridge-terrace, Hyde park, under the following circumstances : The colonel, whose left eye was blackened and much swollen, deposed that on the previous evening, between seven and eight o'clock, while sitting at his dinner-table, two of his female servants rushed into the room in a great fright, and informed him that two men had been endeavouring to force their way in at the front door, and that they would not go away. He immediately got up and went to the door, when seeing a man standing out side, he told him if he did not be off directly he would send for the police. Mr. Broughton—Was the man you speak of, Colonel, the prisoner Complainant—l have no doubt of it. Mr. Broughton—Upon your telling him that, what took place ? Complainant—Prisoner said to me, in a determined tone and manner, "I'm - starving, I want relief, and re lief I must have." I called him a vagabond, and again desired him to quit; adding that if he did not do so at once I should give him into custody ; upon which he told me that I and the police might go to —. I ob served that he had something in his hand, and fearing that he meant to act violently towards me, I turned round and seized hold of this, a piece of boxwood, some what in the form of a " ninepin, weighing about 101bs., and gave him to understand that if he persisted in stay ing where he was 17.,,5h0u,k1- break his head. I went round the corner to look for a policeman, when prisoner followed me, and desired me to hit him. I saw two other fellows near at hand, and was retracing my steps hastily, when prisoner gave me a tremendous blow on the loins, and attempted to trip me up, which he would have succeeded in doing, had I not contrived to support myself by placing my hands against the wall. I turned round and made a blow at him with the piece of wood, and he the gave me numerous blo ws . I go t i nto my house almost senseless, and soon afterwards my servants came tome Saying that two police officers had arrived to take me into custody on a charge of assault. I went with the offi cers i n a EL to the station, where I ascer tained that the prisoner, who said he was much hurt, h a d been taken to the hospital. Mr. Broughton—Yon hav e sa"d, Colonel struck at him. Did y ou hit him? ,that you Complainant—l did, but not Ern after he had as must ha m ve struck his arm. the wall. I think I Prisoner—Did you not make a kick at my body w hen las ? ed you for a ticket for the Refu ge for the sight Complainant—l made no attempt to kick you, neither did you mention a word about a ticket to me. M a ry Wall and Anne Livesay corroborated the evi dence as to the assault upon the colonel. Sergeant Allison, 8 D, said the prisoner came to the station, where he stated that he had been assaulted by a gentleman in Cambridge-terrace, merely becaus e h e had asked for a ticket fo r the Refu g e for the destitute . pri soner went with him, and pointed out to him the resi dence ; on witness going in, leaving prisoner in the care of another officer, he saw olonel Tovey bleeding from the left eye. He took pr isoner to St. Mary's H ospital, where his arm was dressed, and he was subsequently locked up on the charge prefe rred against him by com plainant. Saint, 183 D, said that one day last week he saw the prisoner on the steps of several doors in Cumberland place, and on asking him what business he ha d there, he abused him, and challenged him to fight. Upon finding that he was about t o b e taken into custody, he took to his heels and escaped. The • prisoner's answer to the charge was that he merely asked for a ticket, and that the Colonel made a . kick at the lower part o f loudly for a knife" person, at the same time calling out his servants, Whe i l he i - le could not get one from either of aimed it at his head picked up the piece of wood, and himself, and upon one of lie put up his arms to defend njured him very much. , ?in he received a blow which soner, that," sa id t h e pri " I did ve him a tAfter the sn d that' s a ll I h ave to stick, and tell you. I took of possession to the station-house."carried it The servants were both recalled, and they said that ' ticket prisoner made no mentio n w h a t ever respecting a for the " Refuge," neither did they hear the Colonel call for a knife. Mr. Broughton to Colonel Tovey—Did you ask for a knife ? Complainant—l did say "Bring me a carving knife, and I'll settle him." Mr. Broughton—Do you swear that you did not assault the prisoner until after he struck you on the loins, and tripped you up ? Complainant—l do, sir, I certainly aimed at his head, but he put up his arm at the moment of my doing so. In reply to the Magistrate, Colonel Tovey said he would rather the case were decided summarily. Mr. Broughton characterised the outrage as being one of a most ruffianly description, and for that outrage he must pay a penalty of 51., or go for two months to the House of Correction.—He was locked up. LAMBETH.--Henry Godsall Johnson, alias Captain Johnson, who has been in custody for several days on a charge Of obtaining from a widow lady named Stewart, by false representations and a promise of marriage, rail way shares to the amount of 6001, and also money to a considerable amount, were placed before Mr. Elliott for further examination. Mr. Robinson attended to prosecute ; and Mr. Parry appeared for the prisoner. The first witness called was Mr. Ralph William Grey, who deposed—l am private secretary to Lord Palmerston, and am well acquainted with his lordship's family, and I am enabled to say that the prisoner is certainly not a 'nephew to his lord ship. Ido not know the prisoner, nor have I ever, to my knowledge, seen him before. The letter produced is in the handwriting of Lord Palmerston. The letter alluded to was as follows : " Broadlands, Oct. 12, 1852. " Dear Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, and to express my regret that I cannot assist you in the matter to which your letter refers, as I have no means of obtaining appointments for anybody. " I am, dear sir, yours faithfully, "H. G. Johnson,'Esq." - " " PA - LifERSTON. Mr. Grey, in continuation, said—There is a Mr. John son a consul at Antwerp, an old acquaintance, and, I believe, a distant relation, of Lord Palmerston, but lam not at all aware that the prisoner is a son of this Mr. Johnson. Mr. Robinson—Can you account for the friendly man ner in which Lord Palmerston had addressed the pri soner, or the party to whom his lordship had addressed that note ? Mr. Grey—ln no other way than that his lordship was under the impression at the time that he was ad dressing the son of his old friend, and presumed that that son was respectable. In his cross-examination by Mr. Parry, Mr. Grey said he was not acquainted with the contents of the letter to which the note pat in from Lord Palmerston was an answer, as he was not private secretary to his lo r d s hip in October last. He had been informed, though he did not know the fact of his own knowldege, that the prisoner was son to the consul at Antwerp, and brother to a Queen's messenger. Mr. Robinson here intimated that he should call wit nesses who had been summoned to trace the notes paid to the prisoner for the shares belonging to Mrs. Stewart. The Prisoner—l admit I sold the shares, and received the money for them. Mr. Robinson—Then I now submit that the case of Mrs. Stewart is ripe for committal, and I shall require Mr. Grey on the trial to prove the fact he has before stated, that the prisoner is not the nephew to Lord Pal merston, as he falsely represented himself to be. The Prisoner—l never represented myself to be the nephew of Lord Palmerston. I did say truly I was a relation, but I never said I was Captain Johnson. Mr. Robinson—There is sufficient proof that you re presented yourself as the nephew of Lord Palmerston, and I now call for your commitment. Mr. Elliott inquired if there were any further charges against the prisoner, when Mr. Dawson, a tailor and draper at Bedford, said he knew the prisoner very well. In the year 1845 the prisoner came to live at Bedford, and resided there for some time as a gentleman, and went by the name of Captain Johnson. He gave witness a liberal order for clothes, and was in the habit of borrowing his horses. In the latter end of October, or the begin ning of November, the prisoner requested the loan of a valuable mare'to drive to Northampton with, saying he should be back on the following or subsequent day ; but from that day until that morning he (witness) had not caught sight of him, nor had he heard any ex cept very slight tidings of his valuable mare subsequent to the prisoner's flight, after doing him to the tune of 671. Witness employed a lawyer to look after the cap tain and his mare, but the only thing he could learn of either was, that the mare had been taken in a cart to the station at Euston-square, some short time after the pri soner had her, by a shabby-looking fellow, to take away some hampers of wine. Prisoner—As! my counsel has not been instructed in this case, I should be glad to be permitted to ask the witness a few :questions. The first question I wish to ask the witness is this, whether he is quite certain that I am the person who had the mare ? Witness—l, am quite sure you are the person. Prisoner—Are you sure it was not Mr. Douglas ? Witness—Yes, I am quite sure it was no person but you, Mr. Robinson—l suppose you had abundant oppor tunity of seeing the captain, and cannot be mistaken in his person now ? Witness—Yes, sir, I am quite certain he is the man. The clerk of a wine merchant, in Pall-mall, deposed that in 1845-the prisoner was introduced to his employers as a most repectable gentleman, and gave an order for choice wines to the amount of 1091., which he de sired should be forwarded to his residence, No. 1, Victoria-terrace, Bedford, which was done. Soon after, the gentleman who had introduced him called, and said that he had been grossly deceived in the cha racter of Mr. Johnson. In consequence of what the gentleman said, witness proceeded to Bedford, and had an interview with the prisoner, who told him that the wine was in possession of Captain Douglas, and that if he would call on the following day he should make it all right. He accordingly stopped in the town that nigh, and on going to No. 1, Victoria-terrace, on the follow ing morning, he discovered that the prisoner, and a female who was living with him, had bolted in the night From subsequent inquiries which he had made, he (wit ness) found that the wine had never found its way to Victoria-terrace, Bedford, but had been taken to New port Pagnel, and at that place redirected and sent back to town. ' Mr. Elliott—Did the prisoner make any representa tions at your employer's house, upon which the wine had been sent to him, or was it merely on the introduction .of the gentleman you spoke of that you let him have the property? • _ _ - Witness—On the introduction of the gentleman, who thought him at the time to be a person of the highest respectability. _ _ Mr. Elliott—Then, that being the fact, you will not be able to make any case against the prisoner at present. - Mr. Howard, of Bedford, who was present at the last examination, here said that he had forgotten to mention that the prisoner came to' Bedford with an ac complice, a Captain Douglas, who-assisted him in his swindling practices. There was one tradesman present whom they had swindled to the tune of near 2001., and they mined a poor confectioner by purchasing frond him a valuable horse, for which they gave him a bill of ex change so worthless as not to be worth the paper upon which it was written. Mr. Wells, a cabinet-maker andmpholsterer, said that, besides supplying the prisoner with the whole of the fur niture to furnish his house, and other goods on hire, he had borrowed 101. of him. Mr. Parry contended that there was no proof what ever of MA client using any false pretence to the trades men at Bedford. He was authorised to state, and he could do so without fear of contradiction, that Mr. John son was the son of Mr. Johnson, who had resided at Bedford for many years, and who was at present consul at Antwerp, which appointment was given to him by his friend and relative Lord Palmerston. He was also brother to a Queen's messenger, who was also, he under stood, aprelitted by Lord Palmerston, and-hadbeeirborn at Bedford in 1810, and all he had done was merely to state that he, was the son of his father who had lived so long amongst them. Tradesmen in this, as in many instances of a similar description, had only themselves to blame for the reckless manner in which they forced their goods on comparative strangers. As a proof of this he begged to read a letter addressed by Mr. Howard, the gentleman who took so active a part in these proceedings, and who seemed to evince so strong a sym pathy for even Mr. Wells, the respectable tradesman who had been last examined, and who gave his evidence with such extreme fairness. The letter he alluded to was ad dressed to — . Johnson, Esq., Victoria-terrace, and was as follows : " Sir hope you will excuse me in saying that I hop e byou will allow me to supply you with fenders and fire-irons, ecause I think you will consider that it is not proper in Mr. Wells, knowing, as he does, that I am an equal pro prietor of Victoria-terrace with Miss Green, and that we built it partly to promote our respective businesses—it is, therefore, painful thus to be supplanted, as it were, upon one's own ground. If, therefore, you will allow them to be returned, I will supply them, either upon hire or other wise, and upon the best terms. Will you allow me or my son to wait upon you to receive your orders for any arti cles you may require ? and you will much oblige, sir, your obedient servant, " JOHN HOWARD." The learned gentleman ably contended that, apart from the moral offence, there was no evidence to convict his client o f fraud orlarceny. Mr. Elliott committed the prisoner in the case of Mrs. Stewart, but remanded him in the case of horse-stealing. A LONDON PARIS H WITHOUT A RECTOR.—A repre sentation is about be i ng made to the Bishop of London by some rof parishthe mos h t . infiuential inhabitants of Wapping, n that th o t u h t ei a rect ow en s o fo f r ß so raz me en m os o e nt c h o s lleg as e t priuro,ipoanl— account nw of failure to present On the fell b o e part wi of the Oxford, who are the an atrons of the living.

To speak without metaphor, the machinery of this formidable -looking craft has suf fered so complete a derangement as to damp the sanguine expectations that had been entertained of her as the " model steamer.".. .Nautical Standard. THE WEATHER AND ITS INFLUENCE ON TEE COUNTRY. (From the Leeds Mercury.) The long continuance of rainy weather, and the floods which have occured in various parts of the country, have excited a pretty general feeling of uneasiness in the public mind in relation to the effect which may be pro duced upon our next harvest, and the disturbing influ ences which speculation in foreign corn, arising out of apprehended scarcity of grain, might have on the circu lating medium, and consequently on all the industrial interests of the country. We have been endeavouring to ascertain to what extent the apprehensions of the public are justified by what has already occurred, and the prospect for the future, so far as it can be discerned at this very early period of the year, and we have arrived at the following result. On all the high and dry land we believe the sowing of wheat has been, for the most part, completed ; but on the low and clay lands, that has not been the case—they still remain to be sown, and that cannot now be done till the spring. It has not unfreQuently happened that spring-sown wheats have turned out as well, and some times even better, than the autu n in sown corn ; an d it is to be hoped that it will be so thi's year. If the weather should now take up, there is nothing in what is past to cause any serious apprehension for the future. We strongly incline to the opinion that much more wheat has been got into the ground than is generally sup posed. _ _ - Soon after the last harvest we 'expressed an opinion, that notwithstanding the defective ) crops in the southern counties of England, the wheat a rop of the entire king dom would be very little, if at all, short of an average crop. We are now strengthened in that opinion. The inferior wheats of the south, according to the mil lers, are producing a stronger flour than was anticipated. In some parts of the country the y field per acre has been extraordinary, and the quality exc.Bent. A large quan tity, fully as much as usual, of old wheat remained on hand at the time of the last harvet it, and the supplies of that wheat are still considerable. In consequence of the partial failure of the potato crop and the prosperous condition of thfa labouring population of the country, the consumption of flour has bebn very large, and the price of it has rist m considerably. It is not now at an extravagant rate, o r likely to be so. Thus, while it is not placed beyond the reach of the operative in any degree, by unnaturally hig h prices, the grower is amply remunerated by what he obtains for his produce. Had the corn law been still in e2:istence, a far different state of things would now have be en in operation, weigh ing down the energies of the people. According to the best information we can obtain, we believe we may confidently say, that no speculation in foreign wheat is going on at present in Yorkshire, and that in London it does not exist to an extent worth notice. What speculation there is in foreign grain is almost confined to the general r nerchants of London, many of whom are importing grain for the purpose of supplying return freights for ships -which might otherwise have to come back in ballast, or, •what is more probable, go to other ports to seek a loading. From one cause or other, there can be no doubt that the surplus wheat and flour of foreign countries will, under any circumstances, fin .d their way, in greater or less quantity, to this country, where they are always sure of finding a market at higher or lower price ; but unless our prospects in relati on to the next harvest become decidedly bad, the imports of foreign wheat and flour will not be to such an extei at as to create a drain of gold that would produce a general disturbance of the trade of the country. An opinion prevails in some qui irters that the Bank of England will advance its minir num rate of discount another half per cent. Should the idea prove well founded, the advance will not be caused by speculations in corn ; and even then, money will be cheap enough for all legitimate purposes. The large amount of bullion in the Bank coffers, and the very extensive arrivals of gold from Australia, lead to the belief that no scarcity of the precious metals need be apprehended.

Sir,—This class of advertisements, which daily appear in some of the newspapers (the provincial ones especially), are a disgrace to the country. The parties shield themselves under the title of M.D., or Surgeon, otherwise there can be no doubt that they would be amenable to the law ; but it seems that a party with a diploma in his pocket is beyond or above all law, and can do anything he pleases in that way. We have for many years endeavoured to expose this crying evil, but it would seem to little purpose. We mini& point out country newspapers enjoying a large circulation wherein the advertisements in question continually appear. It was but the other day that the Society for the Prevention of Vice prosecuted some tobacconist for what they were pleased to term an indelicate picture, but can it be said that that offence was half so grievous as the obscene medical advertisements which continually appear in the newspapers ! If the society would direct their attention to such advertisements, and, by a well conducted prose cution, expose the whole traffic of the parties implicated, then they would, indeed,, oonfer a benefit on society. What ! are we in the nineteenth century to be told that, because a party chooses to write a work which he calls medical, and to affix the title of M.D. or Surgeon to it, that he is to be thereby licensed to infest the country with such immoral and obscene advertisements as we see displayed in some of the newspapers ! The injurious effect of such advertisements falling into the hands of the rising generation cannot for one moment be doubted. Sir, we feel that there is not a respectable medical man but must join us on this question, and that many of them would rather see their diplomas consigned to the flames if they for a moment believed that the possession of the piece of parchment gave any party the power to promulgate the immorality and wickedness that are dis played in the advertisements in question. Still, legally speaking, the diploma does put the party beyond the reach of the law. The only thing required to put an end to the crying evil is, we feel certain, an exposure of the traffic carried on by the offending parties, by calling public attention to the enormity of the evil ; and such being our opinion, we have issued a print or picture, No. 9 of the Hygeian Illustrations, in order to put the Public on their guard against the impostures which are carried on under the guise of medical titles by persons of the lowest and most degraded condition ; but, unfor tunately, medicine has hitherto been kept in such con fusion and mystery, that it has given them a power to impose on the credulity of mankind which they would not otherwise have enjoyed--We are, sir, your obedient servants, The Members of the British College of Health for and on behalf of the Society of Hygeists.—New road, London, Jan. 14, 1853. IMPROVEMENTS AT MARGATE. —Margate we trust ere long will resume her wonted prosperity. Speculation is rife, and building is again going on. The new buildings in Fort Paragon are progressing towards completion. A capital opportunity now offers itself for adding to the improvements and attraction of the town, by building a sea wall from the Paragon towards the jetty, which would prevent encroachments from the sea, and access to the shore might be made by a flight of ste p s. We believ e th at t h e contract for the new jetty ha s been taken by M r . B r i stow, of H art l epoo l, Durham, and that it is being p repared there, so that we ma y n ow add that there are stron g h opes o f see i ng o it completed in the present year.—Kentilt Observer. • FROM THE LONDON GAZETTErof YESTERDAY.

Who ever thought of London becoming the head-quarters of the chase, and of country quarters being merely supplemen tary ones ? Yet so it is ; and great runs are known in Pall-Mall and St. James's -street almost as soon as they are in the counties where they take place. Cockney sports men are become extinct, and we have Quormtes, and Pytchleyites, and Atherstoneites instead. Convenient as this doubtless is to those whose avocations lie in town, we doubt its beneficial influence on hunting. It draws sportsmen into too small a compass, pours all sorts of irresponsible parties upon hOnts within the influence of direct railways, any one of whom can mar the sport or enjoyment of a whole field. And if we look who it is that generally do mischief, we shall find in nine cases out of ten, it is some aspiring stranger seeking to "beat" the men of the hunt, or some horse-dealing rough-rider wanting to show off his horse to what he thinks advantage. These are the men who will never pull up. If the great Mr. Meynell could arise from his grave and see the fly ing train hissing past his quiet residence at Quorn, or disgorging its motley contents at the Barrow or Syston station, how he would hug himself that he lived in days when men came out to see a pack of hounds hunt a fox, and not to "cut each other down, and hang 'em up to d r y," as the saying is. AN ACT WORTHY OF IMITATION.—The Earl Manvers haff just made a return to his tenants at Fledborough, who have all suffered so severely from the late floods, of the whole of the half year's rent which was paid by them at his late audit in December. This was done with out any solicitation whatever on their part, and has been received in the most grateful manner z it fully proves the generosity and benevolence of this excellent nobleman. PLEASURES OF THE TROPIOS.—On Wednesday morn ing last the bar-keeper of the Pavilion Hotel, Taboga, not appearing at the u sua l hour, Captain M'Kinney, th e proprietor of the house, proceeded to his room to call him, when, to his astonishment and horror, he found him insensible and bathed in blood. After the usual restoratives were applied, the bar-keeper stated that on the previous evening, after retiring, he remembered ex periencing the most delightful sensations, as of fanning, which soon put him into a deep sleep, and he had no con sciousness of the attack made upon him until the morn ing. The only wounds by the bat were two small spots on each of the great toes, from which it is calculated the man must have lost at least half a gallon of blood. Ho is at present so weak as to be unable, for a short time, to attend to his usual business.—Panama Star. GLASGOW SOCIAL STATISTIOS.—The annual report of Dr. Strang, city chamberlain, on the mortality bills of the city of Glasgow, for 1852, states the real figure of mortality in that city in proportion to the living, to be as Ito 34 . 8. The cost of maintaining the poor in the four parishes of Glasgow, which, in 1848-9, was 105,266/., was only 78,7331. in 1850-I—the return for last year not being complete. The bankrupties connected with Glas gow have decreased by 20, compared with the year 1851. MONSTROSITY.—OR Monday week, a child was born in Perth with' two heads. E;;ch head was attached by the back parts, the countenances looking in opposite directions ; but that presenting itself from the back part of the body had no eyes or mouth. Slight purple or pinkish coloured seams only indicated that these organs were there. The other head was perfect. The child lived till Thursday evening, and was buried on Friday.— Perth.

Spanish is in good demand, and rates have an upward tendency. For auction 500 Serons Guatimala are declared. SPlRlTS.—Havannah is held for is 10d to is lOid proof, but little is doing.

Of the 120, 1 was born in Morayshire, 1 in Sutherland shire, and 15 in Argyleshire. Deducting the boarders, the united ages of the remaining 108 amount to 7,698 years, giving the high average of 71 3-12th years for each individual. The united ages of the boarders amount to 594 years, giving an average of 49 years to each, which shows that some of them must be comparatively young men. There are 26 out-door pensioners, the united ages of whom amount to 1,984, giving the average of 764 years to each person. Of these 26, 2 were born in Inver ness-shire, and 2 in Argyleshire. FRENCH RAILWAYS.—From a table published by the department of Public Works it appears that the total length of railways in activity in France in 1851, was • 3,307 kilometres (about 2,200 English miles), and in 1852, 3,708 kil ometres ; t h a t th e t o t a l receip t s of the d first y ear were 1 06, 967 , 496 fr ., an d i n the seco n 132,277,905 ; an d th a t conse qu en tly th e receipts per kilometre rose from 32,345 fr. in 1851, to 35,673 fi. in 1852. SNOW STORM IN THE NORTH.—The hills all around are covered wilh snow, and ,o heavy was the fail on the Highland road between Blair-Atholl and Dalnacaloch, that the mail northwards stuck fast, and the bags were brought on from thence by post chaise, arriving here' several hours after the proper time,—lnverness Advertior, COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL.—JAN. 18. At this day's market there was the usual attendance of the trade, but few buyers from a distance ; however, a fair consumptive demand was experienced for wheat and flour at the full prices of this day week. Oats and oatmeal were offered at ld per 451 b., and is per load decline, with little effe c t. B ar l ey, beans, and peas maintained' their value, with a fair retail sale. Indian corn was scarcely inquired for, and bvth stored parcels and floating cargoes could have been bought on rather easier terms.--The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise during the past week have been very large of oatmeal, but moderate of other articles. From foreign ports we have received 8,355 qrs. of wheat, 3,225 qrs. of beans, 703 qrs. of peas, 1,801 sack and 5,264 barrels of flour. The t ra d e h as b een ex t reme l y quiet, and both wheat and flour have been somewhat easier to buy. IPSWICH—JAN. 18. The wheat sold to-day more freely, and prices are firm, at late rates. The supply of barley was a good one, both in quantity and quality, and fetched high prices, 37s and 38s being freely given by one or two buyers. Other gra as of late. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER..

We had to=day a good supply of English wheat, tb condition for the most part worse than last week, and such met dull sale at some little decline ; anything in real ly good condition was worth fully as much money. No alteration in foreign wheats. Barley scarce, and fully is; to 2s dearer. The seller has an advantage in the sale of oats. The demand for beans and peas less active. Linsee d fully supports the late advances, and cakes are rather moi enquired for. Nothing done in rapeseed, and rape calc( are - only retail sale.
