Enrron—l observe that a certain Print, hich professes to give aroaccount of the Com merce of the City, evidently puts forward mis statements to serve private interests, if not sinis ter ends; for there can be no other causes that should induce it to make false representations. I now allude to the reports of the state of the London Corn Trade, given, or professed to be given, by The Morning Chronicle, which for the last ten days has been constantly representing a rise as having taken place in the prices of Grain, particularly Wheat ; whereas every one who fre quents that market knows, and cannot but know, that the very reverse has been the case, and that it has undergone a constant though gradual de cline of price. The motives for this conduct I shall not attempt to explain, nor whether they are results of the machinations of Mectlmen or Bakers, but submit the following question to the discern ment of your Readers, viz. :—Why is the price of the quartern loaf kept up to 102 d., whilst that of wheat is even below 465. per quarter, which will yield 103 such loaves at the very least It is generally known that the late Editor of that Paper had large corn-mills some time before his decease : to Whom do those, mills now be long ; to any one, or some one who has an in fluence over that Paper, and who may therefore have an interest in representing things in that ght or colour which may chime in with private iterests.—l am, Sir, your's, &c., London, Jan. 19. INVESTIGATOR. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 19. EX-PARTE SHAWE, IN THE MATTER OF HOWARD AND GIBBS, BANKRUPTS. • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL concluded his reply at one o'clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that he agreed with the Counsel on both sides that this was a case of great importance. It had certainly been most ably aruccl, and had occupied the attention of the Court for six days. 'lt could not then be sup posed that he was ready to deliver his opinion, • particularly as he had intimated that it was his intention to read over all the former petitions and affidavits before he came to a decision. He considered the best step he could take was then to retire into his private room, and give his attention to the case during the afternoon, preparatory .to • delivering his judgment on Monday morning.—His Lordship then rose. , COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 19. BARTON and OTHERS V. WILLIAMS Al D OTHERS. This was an action of trover to recover from the defendants the value of certain East India Warrants for the delivery of a quantity of cotton, and certain quantities of cotton mentioned in the declaration. t the trial before the Lord Chief Justice at the adjourned Sittings in London, after the last Easter Term , a verdict was found for the plaintiff, damages 7,3371. subject to the opinion of the Court upon a special case. In the early part of 1813, a person named Moon, who then carried on business at Manchester as a cotton-merchant, under the firm of John Moon and Son, having agreed with the plain- , tiffs, who are also cotton merchants at Manchester, to purchase a quantity of cotton jointly, gave directions to his brokers, Messrs. Hunt and Sharpe, of London, to purchase at the East India Company's sales, cottons to a considerable amount, on the account of Moon. Messrs. Hunt and Sharpe accord ingly purchased, at several sales between the months of Ja nuary and June in that year, a large quantity of cotton, to the amount of about 20,000 1 ., and obtained order s for the delivery of it, commonly called East India warrants, which were made out in the name of Hunt as the broker employed at the sale, and left in ,the possession of Hunt and Sharpe, as the brokers of Moon. 'The plaintiffs, immediately after the purchase, paid Moon half the value of the cottons. Hunt and Sharpe knew that Moon was occasionally in the habit of making purchases on their joint account, but at the time of making the purehases in question, they had no knowledge that the plaintiffs were in any way concerned. In Aug-ast, whenhalf the purchases were completed, they were apprised that the plaintiffs had some interest in the purchases in alestion. It was subsequently agreed between the plaintiffs and Moon, that the cottons should he divided, and accordingly, directions were given, by the plaintiffs and Moon respectively, to Hunt and Sharpe to mate such division. In compliance with these tlirections, Hunt and Sharpe proceeded to make' the division, by specify ing in different columns the warrants which were respectively appropriated to the plaintiffs and Moon ; and on the 20th of .February, 1819, they communicated such division to both parties, and received their approbation of and assent thereto. About the latter end of November, 1818, Hunt and Sharpe received directions from Moon to procure him a loan of from twenty to twenty-five thousand pounds on the security of the East India warrants then in their possession. Hunt and Sharpe accordingly . informed the defendants of Moon's request, and applied to them to discount the acceptances of them (Hunt and Sharpe) on bills drawn by Moon upon Hunt and Sharpe, on the security of ,the -whole of the warrants , which the defend ants agreed to do ; ,and accordingly eight bills, payable three months after date, were so drawn and accepted, all of which were duly paid at maturity. These bills,• which amounted .to . 20,2721. were discounted by , the defendants at the beginning of December, 1818 ; and at the time of receiving the money from the defendants, the whole of the warrants were deposited with them by Hunt and Sharpe, by way of security for the pay ment of the bills. On -the 23d of February, 1819, .Hunt and Sharpe received from Moon the following directions, con tained in a letter :—" Half of the amount from Williams's is all Leonid wish, or even nothing, if, you can force off every bale of cotton. If half could be done by Messrs. Williams and'Co. Mr. B.'s warrants might remain.' In consequence of this, an application Was made by Hunt and Sharpe to the de fendants, to renew ten thousand pounds of the amount of tha 4 , l miginal . bill e s which the defendants agreed to do , by discount ing other bills similar to the former, oh the security of the war rants, to cover them to that amount being left with them, as a security for such renewal. Hunt and Sharpe did not at any time previous to such renewals, communicate to the defendants that any alteration had taken plate in the property, or that the plaintiffs had-any concern in it. ,On the 2d of March, Sharpe, for the firm of Hunt and Sharpe, received the warrants froth the defendants, for the express purpose of dividing them, so as to take 10,0001. worth of them: away, and to :return the 'other 10,0001. Worth to the defendants, to remain.with them as a se curity for the 'renewed bills, and took them to hig counting house, for the purpose of msjeing such separation ; and - having , done so, returned to the defendants the-warrants belonging to the plaintiffs, and retained those ichieli had been appropriated to Moon, and in so doing, acted by the directions of M*.4),' without any communication with or privity from the•plaintiffs. The defendants discounted four bills drawn and accepted as, above-Mentioned, amounting to 10,1211., which were dishonour ed when they. became due. The. defendants subsequently sold the cottons in question for 73371. and the question was, whether the plaintiffs were entitled to maintain this action of trover against the defendants. 111 r. F. PonLoClil,. for the plaintiffs, contended that the goods being pledged to the defendants by Hunt and Sharpe, without the plaintiff's privity, this was clearly a case in which trover might be maintained. Mr. - TINDAL, on the other hand, admitted the general prin ciple, that a broker cannot pledge the* gods of his principal, but insisted that as these goods were pledged by the directions of Moon, who was jointly interested in them with the plaintiffs, the latter must be bound by .his arts The Court were clearly of opinion that the plaintiffs were en ttled to recover. They could not be bound by Moon's Act.— Though jointly interestedin these particular goods, they could not he considered as •• Moon's partners; so as to make his acts binding upon them. The defendants were free from all moral imputation upon their _conduct; but the conduct of the other parties savoured strongly of the grossest fraud, in whichever way it was considered ; still the plaintiffs were not barred of their remedy against the defendants, who had obtained posses sion of the warrants by the wrongful -acts of Moen and the brokers. Judgment for the plaintiffs. XERXES V. THE SOUTH LONDON WATER-WORKSEOMPANY. This was an action on the case, by the driver of a Godal ming coach, against the defendants, for having' dug a bole in the public highway, and so negligently and carelessly-filled it up again with improper materials, that the coach - which the plain tiff was driving was upset, and his thigh broken. The decla ration described the place of 'the accident to he situate in the parish of St. Mary, Newington ; but it appeared in etidence to have taken place in the parish of Lambeth. At the trial before the Lord Chief Baron, at the Spring Assizes for Surrey, the Learned Judge thought this a fatal variance, and therefore di-; rected the plaintiff to be nonsuited. 'A rule Nisi was obtained in Easter Term for setting aside the nonsuit, and granting a new trial. Mr. GunivEY and Mr. NOLAN now spewed cause against the rule, and contended that the variance was fatal, for that the parish was matter of description ; and being stated, ought to have been proved. Mr. CUnwoop, in support of the rule, insisted that the pa rish was no part of the description, but was merely venue, and, therefore, in a personal action like this, need not be proved. The Court were .strongly inclined to think the nonsuit was right, and earnestly recommended the plaintiff's Counsel to con sent to a stet processus. Mr. CURWOOD, after. such a. recommendation, thought he acted best for the interests of his client, and therefore yielded to the suggestion, the - time being out for bringing another action.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 19. ' LIABILITY OF CARRIERS. DUFF V. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE OXFORD WAGGON Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Duff, Brookes, and Hodges, who were respectable silk-manufacturers in Spitalfitelds, ag-aitst the defendant, who was the carrier of the waggon to Oxford, froM the Three Cups Inn, Aldersgate, for the recovery of the value of a parcel entrusted to his care for conveyance by his waggon, and which was never delivered, addressed to "Mr. James Parker, High-street, Oxford." The facts of the case were these : a stranger called upon the plaintiff's and ordered a quantity of their g oods in the name 'of Mr. J. Parker, of High-street, Oxfora; not 'having had any previous dealings with Mr. Parker, and the applicant being a stranger, they na turally required a reference, which was accordingly given to a Mr. Holt. Upon incittiring respecting Mr. Parker, of High street, at this reference, they heard what every man acquainted with Oxford knew, that there was not a more respectable trades ' man in that city. The plaintiff's, without further application, transmitted the goods through the wagon-office above-men tioned; but the real fir. Parker never received the parcel.— The fact was, that from the beginning the transaction was a fraud. The stranger who gave the order had no authority from Mr. Parker to transact any business on his account, and there was no doubt that somebody was stationed at Oxford, on the arrival of' the parcel, to purloin it. But it was the duty of carriers still to take care, that when a parcel specifiCally di rected was entrusted to them, they were not. idly and heed lessly to give .it up to arty person who might think it right to call for it; because if that were to be their practice, no person's property would be for one moment safe. It was need less to say, that they had not discovered the stranger who first gave the pretended order from Mr. Parker. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages, 891. POLICY OF INSURANCE. - JOHNSON V. BELL. This was an action brought to recover one thousand five loin. dyed pounds upon a Policy of Insurance upon the ship Han nah, engaged in tha seal fishing on the coast of New Soutli Shetland. It appeared that the vessel was lost in the storms which raged on the.New . Shetland coast in. the Christmas of 1820. The question at issue rose not upon any fraud• on the part of the plaintiff, who was the insurer, but upon his agent not giving the underwriter a letter, Which had been received; re specting shipwrecks on the Boast, although the substance of the letter seemed to have been fully communicated. The facts were these : On the 31st March, 1821, informa tion was posted at Lloyd's, that the Captain Trowb rid g e and Ann, of Liverpool, and a vessel bound from America to China, had been lost in the gales between the 20th and 80th December, 1820. On the 4th of the following April, Mr. Johnson' wrote up from Liverpool, that 'the above information (which was stated to have been brought by the brig Eliza) must be false, and only intended to enhance the value of his cargo ; for that he (Mr. Johnson) raid received idlers from New South Shet land, dated on the 4th January, which stated that the Captain Trowbridge was then lying safe at Anchor in Blythe Bay, and no mention -whatever was made of the loss of the Hannah or Ann, which names appeared to have been inistakingly con founded for one and the same vessel.- Mr. Johnson, in his letter of the 4t9. April, ordered an insurance to be effected' upon the Hannah, and' hoped the premium would not exceed four guineas per cent. Six guineas per cent. was, however, paid with a waryanty, that the ship was safe on the 4th Janu ary. But on tht , llth April a subsequent insurance was ef fected at ten griineas per cent. and without particular • war ranty, except a g eneral declaration, that the ship must have been safe on the. 4th January, or else the letter then transmit ted from New South Shetland would have mentioned other wise; which letter, hoWever, was not put into the hands.of the underwriter, although the general contents of.it were ac curately stated.. It - ultimately appeared that the vessel . had, in . point of fact, been lost just on the 28th December , so tha t the information originally received at Lloyd's proved correct. The Court, in summing up the evidence, held, that aparty applying for an insurance was bound to put the underwriter in possession of all the information he was possessed of at the time. It was not enough that he should gave his own honest opinion of its effect, and not mean to withhold any particle of it ---;he was bound to place the evide n c e at the dis p osal of the unCle:writer, to enable him to estimate, according to his own judgment, its influence upon the contract into which he Was about to enter. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant, The King has been pleased to appoint Henry Watkin Wil liams Wynn, Esq. to be his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to-the Confederated States of the Swiss Cantons.
