ASTLLY'S LOYAL A2.II'IIITHEATHE, , Driotor and ]Tanager, 11r. William Batty. Last Week of the Cataract of the Ganzes. THIS EVENING laving referred so repeatedly to the advantages accruing from the employment of a deodorizing and disinfecting fluid, it is but reasonable that we should in some measure explain the proportions and pro perties of the different ingredients. From experi ments recently made in the Observatoire of Paris, it has been conclusively shown that the use of simple sulphate of iron is altogether ineffectual in preventing the deleterious exhalations arising from the decompo sition of animal matter. Another preparation was found to be absolutely necessary for the purification of a vitiated atmosphere. M. LEDOYEN and Sir WILLIAM BURNET have proved that the discovery of some such substitute was practicable, and a recent com munication from Mr. FORDRED, published in the columns of a medical contemporary, explains how that substitute may be manufactured with facility and with comparatively little expense.* That the employment of such a compound is almost miracu lously beneficial has been attested by the various experiments made at Brussels, at Paris, at Liverpool, in the metropolis, and elsewhere. Nor are the ad vantages produced by the application of the disinfect ing fluid merely partial or temporary, they are declared to be complete, instantaneous, and permanent, upon the authority of Mr. CHARLES ELLERMAN. And besides destroying the effluvia and vapours which are found to be so prejudicial to health, the liquid changes these pestiferous substances into the most nutritious of all manures. It has been demonstrated by THENARD and DUPUYTREN ti, when the air is infected by 1-300th part of :.11: phuretted hydrogen the life of man ceases ; that when it is infected by 1-1000th part dogs are suf focated; and that birds expire when it is infected by merely 1-1,500 th part. So destructive is tliii terrible gas And it is this gas which is principally evolved from the drains and cesspools from the decay of the feculent matter accumulated therein—the aaote changing into ammonia, and the sulphur into sulphuretted hydrogen. Now these pernicious evaporations are altogether prevented by the employment of the disinfecting fluid, that fluid neutralizing the deleterious gases by changing them into salts, and by so doing materially enhancing the value of the putrescent matter for agri cultural purposes. How far this assertion is correct is shown by the emphatic declaration of JUSTUS LIMO (see Agricutural Chemistry, p. 365), that " all the qualifications necessary for agricultural purposes are to be found in solid and liquid feculent matter; they not only containing ammonia, but alkali, silicates, phosphorates, and sulphates, in the proportions requisite for cultivation." Left, however, in a state of gradual decomposition, the feculent matter has an injurious instead of a nutritive effect upon vegetation, the leaves and even the stalks of plants being blighted by the copious disengagement of sulphuretted hydrogen. By the infusion of the disenfecting fluid therefor, the sulphuretted hydro gen is changed into a salt which imparts a new ex cellence to the soil as a manure."

The extensive application of the liquid to which we have alluded would consequently be productive of a twofold advantage.

It would lighten the responsibilities of the Sanitary Commis sioners, and render the arable land throughout the country more productive.

By this means the dangerous consequences of a run for gold would be greatly mitigated. The only reasonable objection that could be offered against the circulation of one-pound notes throughout the country is the possible results in the case of a panic, or at a period of great political excitement. In order to avoid this shadow, real evil is encountered. In consequence of the subtraction of the small-note cur rency, no less than 10,000,000/. sterling, in gold and silver is used merely as a token in passing from hand to hand. We venture to affirm that if one pound notes were sanctioned, the tenth part, or, under the most unfavourable circumstances, the fifth part of that amount would be amply sufficient for every purpose, and that at the very least 40,000,0001. might be given to the Bank in exchange for small notes. How greatly would this improve the position and add to the stability of that corporation, supposing, exempli gratia, that 20,000,0001. of notes had been issued from the issue department, the amount in gold in their coffers should, according to the terms of the Act, be 6,000,0001. This would give a proportion of but thirty per cent. of bullion to the paper issued against it, or only six shillings in the pound, a rather discreditable dividend if the Bank were called on to pay ; but if we further take into account the amount of the deposits, public and pri vate, which on the average may be taken at from fifteen to sixteen millions sterling, every farthing of which should also be paid in gold, if demanded, we should ad that proportion still further reduced, and that the dividend in gold would not much exceed 3s. 6d. in the pound—a melancholy instance, as some of our contemporaries would say, of over trading and over-speculation, and of the impolicy of investing capital in investments not immediately con vertible. Now, if small notes were sanctioned, and even 20,000,000/. (only one-half of the 40,000,0001.), were exchanged therefor at the Bank, we should find that there would be 28,000,000/. of gold against 40,000,0001. of notes, or 65 per cent., and if the fifteen millions of deposits were added to the former, there would still be twenty-six millions of gold against fifty-five millions of liabilities of every description, or nearly 48 per cent. We need scarcely say which would be the safer position for the Bank, or in which case there would be the greatest probability of their being unable to meet every demand upon them in specie. We have put forward the above, in order to show the unnecessary stringency of the present laws, and that much of the suffering which has taken place might have been avoided without the principle of a convertible currency being in any manner touched upon. We do not, however, conceive that anything but en issue of State paper, an ample currency which will be received in payment of all the national burdens of taxation and duties of every de scription, and which will be secured on ail the national resources, will ever be effectual or give permanent prosperity to tl:e country, and save us from the fluctuations to which we have been pe riodically exposed, and which have had such injurious results. We would again direct the attention of our readers to Russia, where there was no attempt to alter the nature of the currency after the war ; they kept the paper out, and it is out to this time, and answers all the internal wants of the country ; and Lord ASHBURTON, one of the most able financiers of this or any other land, in his evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons on agrieulture in 1836, stated it as his opinion that "by doing so they had kept money in pretty tolerable steadiness." We have seen the result which has allowed the AUTOCRAT to invest, since the month of March last, 6,600,0001. in the French and English funds, and to lend two mil lions sterling in addition to the Bank of England at the present crisis. Notwithstanding which, an enormous amount of bullion is still remaining in his hands. "low long will the British nation suffer its prosperity to be frittered away, and its children pauperised and exposed to every species of privation, from an obstinate adherence to theories, and to a system that has occasioned such wide-spread misery , I;I:i , -f; 124 " 2 ! ~,,, ."..-. • .. 11, --, z, I , 1 - A ~ "--.,..• .0..< =,-) • , 1.1 - - ptie l 'i- '.'4l', l pt---- m ._ 44 :tv , ,,,, - )JP 4 I - ‘, ' ''.., -, 4.• - .s liti , ) 1;1 N, , ,r.

It would appear as if the Legislature, in givhag their sanction to the Bank Charter Act of 1844, had resolved by every practicable means to render the working of the Act of 1819, which had already at various times occasioned such fearful calamities, and general distress, as oppressive as it could possibly be made. It was not sufficient that the principle of that Act should be maintained, and that every Bank of Eng land note should be convertible on demand into bullion, at the fixed price of 31. 17s. 10fd. per ounce, but stores of bullion were required to be laid up in various parts of the country, not only in England, where there might possibly have been some slight utility ,in such hoards, but also in Scotland and Ire land, where the circulation of 1/. notes and the habits of the people, who greatly prefer the smaller denominations of notes to bullion for general use, rendered it absolutely use less. We believe it will be readily admitted by any person who has resided for any lengthened time either country, that sovereigns scarcely ever pass from hand to hand, and that when they are received in payment of accounts, or change of the larger notes, that they are speedily exchanged for Bank paper. We have recently heard a respected Scottish cl ergyman s ta te t h a t h e h a d no t seen a sovereign in his own immediate district for more than two years. It is perfectly manifest, therefore, that the same stringent rules as to a reserve of bul lion would B no o t til b e requ i re d i n e i t h er o f the sister in the sam e countsies. manner and however, d e alt w ith p rec i se l y d subjected to th e same regu lations that were enforced againtst the circulation England,. of n o t es un d er 5 / . made gold necessary for ca yhtengson the o rdi nary T g Y. business of the country cetch an d Irish banks were permitt e d , to issue a quan tity of notes, being th e average amount circulation for twelve wee k s previous to the their ing of the Act of 1844, and they were comapeporled to keep bullion in their vau lt s equal to the m of the notes that might be issu e d b eyond the fixed t quantity. The same rule was also made with respect to the country bankers in the several districts of England. In consequence of this law, a sum which, generally speaking, exceeds 3,000,0001. sterling i n gold, is kept uselessly hoarded in the sister kingdoms, by far the greater portion of which might be substi tuted for Bank of England notes, and would thus give great additional strength to that body. The 2,000,000/. sterling for which it is said they are now in treaty with the Emperor of l iussiA, if indeed all the arrangements of the transaction have not already been concluded, might easily be spared from the Scotch and Irish banks, with gnat benefit to all the parties con. cerned. We cannot conceive what the most zealous bullionist could require —so lcng as any description of notes are tolerated—more'than that the notes in cir culation throughout the country should at Ell times be convertible into gc!d on demand. It would surely THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMB L The Patria of Florence, of the 26th ult., an nounces the arrival, on the 22d, at Gallicano, of the Modenese troops, accompanied by Commissioner Azzr, who soon after called upon the Tuscan Com missary Advocate BIANCHINI, desiring him to give up to him the possession of the place. Signor BIAN CHINI refused, alleging that he had received no orders from his Government. But on the evening of the same day Signor Azzi insisted, and took possession de facto. Signor BIANCHINI has protested against this act. Several proclamations of the Modenese Government were posted up soon afterwards. The province of Fivizzano has a surface of 00 square miles, 51 parishes, and 16,000 inhabitants ; the annual revenue is about 40,0001. Florence was the scene of a disturbance on the 25th. One PAOLINI, belonging to the old police, called birri, and hated by the people on account of former arbitrary acts, arrested a blind beggar. Some persons who witnessed the arrest disapproved of it ; the crowd increased and rescued the beggar. The commissary of Santo Spi rito, to appease the people, had PAOLINI put into an open carriage and taken to prison. But the news having spread, the crowd became more dense, and Paoram was assaulted. Other bodies of people at tacked some guard-houses, and burnt the furniture ; at the old police-office, the Bargello, several persons imprisoned for debt were set at liberty. All this took place so suddenly that the civic guard was not in time to prevent it; that body, however, soon in terfered most successfully, and the tumult was quelled on all points in less than an hour. The Marquis RIDOLFI, Minister of the Interior, wrote a letter in the name of the GRAND DUKE to the commander of the civic guard, on the 26th, in which he passes the highest eulogium on the behaviour of that body, not withstanding the imperfect state of their present organization. Lord MINTO was to leave Florence for Rome on the 2Dth ult. Count BRESSON arrived at Naples on the 23d, Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived. The Marquis of MIRAFLORES, the Marquis of AlALpica, and all the members of the old Christina Camarilla arc restored, and Queen ISABELLA iS com , p!etfrly isolated, her only associates being her Lu. CRETIA of a mother, and her SOLOMON of a husband. The Eco del Comercio denouhces a gross job which, it is said, the Ministry intend to attempt to perpe• trate for the behoof of MARIA CHRISTINA. It is in tended to demand from the Cortes permission to pay Queen CHRISTINA in capital the amount of her annual pension, calculated at the number of years she may be expected to live. The Eco supposes that her MA JESTY'S life may be extended to thirty years, in which case it calculates that the country would be called on to pay about 90,000,000 reels (twenty-two and a half millions of francs), which it says would allow a nominal capital of upwards of 300,000,000 reals in Three per Cents. to be purchased. It is probably in order to carry out this precious scheme that the portfolio of finance is to be intrusted to the cunning (Asturian avogado Senor Morr, who has recently returned from Paris with a programme drawn up by Louis PHILIPPE and M. GUIZOT, of which this conversion forms probably no unimportant part, furnishing, as it will do, a large and available capital for carrying on the wholesale bribery by means of which alone the MONTPENSIER succession can be secured. It was rumoured in Madrid that ESPARTENO had accepted the London Embassy.

T uesday being All Saints' day, is observed as a festival in Paris, and none of the papers, with the exception of Galignani's Messenger, are in general published on that day. The Journal des Debats, hOwever, contrary to usual custom, published a half sheet, containing important news from Switzerland, which will be found, in extenso, in another column. Civil war appears to be inevitable. The Diet refused to refer the question of the Jesuits to the POPE (it could hardly be expected that they would consent to such a proposition, involving, as it did, the admission of the principle of the right of intervention, on the part: of a foreign power, in the internal affairs of Switzerland) ; a proposition for renewed negotiations, and a mutual disarmament, was likewise iejected ; and the deputies of the Sonderbund departed from Berne. This last proposition was about the most jesuitical that could have been made. The disarma ment, on the part of the Sonderbund cantons, would be a farce. The arms would be probably placed in a depot at Lucerne, and by means of the lake of the four cantons, Uri, Schywtz, linterwalden, Zug, and Lucerne could communicate with each other in two hours, and in one day would all be armed; whereas the Liberal cantons, scattered about around the circumference of these five cantons, would require weeks, perhaps months of preparation, to again assemble and arm their troops. Besides, after the all but expressed determination of M. GUIZOT to interfere by force in support of the Jesuits, it would be worse than folly for the Diet to listen for a moment to any fallacious propositions for a general disarmament. We, however, take note of the fact, that the deputies of the Sonderbund have declared that they will submit to the POPE, and from the liberal spirit which Plus IX. has manifested, we trust that he will order the dissolution of the league, and the withdrawal of the Jesuits, and thus avert civil war from Switzerland. As a proof of what Jesuit rule is in Lucerne, we may remark that while a Catholic pauper who cannot read or write is per mitted to vote in the election of members of the Council, a Protestant, no matter how highly educated, how talented, or how honest, is deprived of the fran chise. This deprivation of the Protestants of their franchise is the work of the Jesuits. 50 n 5 : T. h ;u e e t T s hd h ea r y e e oa per Orleans Railroad n3ittscos..ciier;lootashdeed Five er the Paris I P C, l a e 7rni7ts Cents., s o io u ic r s. s f e ..

Humanity and economy alike demand its adoption. Although we yesterday particularised the diseases of the respiratory organs, such as inflammation of the lungs and consumption, as among those which would be perceptibly diminished in frequency by the purification of the atmosphere, we would by no means have it inferred that other maladies would not be thereby in like manner most beneficially affected. Without referring in particular to other and more ordinary diseases, we would direct especial atten tion to the influence of vitiated air in the cities ravaged by the Asiatic Cholera. How much would not cleanliness do towards mitigating the terrors of that dismal visitation ? And, of all kinds of cleanliness, which is more essential or more commendable than the purity of the very air we breathe ? It is just asserted in the first number of a new Sanitary Organ, published monthly, and called the Journal of Public Health—a periodical, the ap pearance of which we hail with the more satisfaction from its starting into existence at a period so pecu liarly opportune—it is just asserted in the Journal of Public Reath that " Cholera is always most virulent in its attacks in those localities where sanitary mea sures are most neglected." This fact is incontrover tible ; it is more stubborn than the most stubborn of mules. And of all the sanitary measures which have been universally neg l ec t e d , t h at measure is notoriously I the most requisite which would remove the causes of vitiation in the atmosphere of our towns and cities, and tend to the adequate ventilation of our houses and workshops. That measure, more over, would instantaneously and peculiarly affect those physical evils which are prevalent throughout the United Kingdom, evils which (to quote the language employed on the 22d of Septem ber by the Judge-Advocate General, when that Right Honourable Gentleman was addressing his constitu ents at Liskeard), " by a little management, could be removed at a very little expense." How small the expense would be in this particular is obvious.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. Play, entitled John S av ile of Haysted, Awne w as produced r t oia here last n i g ht, w ith comp l e t e l success. It is from the p en o f th e R ev. J ames historical White, the author of Feudal Times, and is distin guished for that smoothness of versification and beauty of diction which has hitherto characterised all the dramatic productions of Mr. White. The scene is laid in England, in the time of Charles 1., and the catastrophe consists in the assassination of the profligate Duke of Bu c ki ng h am, b y F e l ton, t h e contumelious rejection of whose suit for a captaincy occurs at the commencement of the play. John Savile (Mr. Phelps), a country gentleman, residing at Haysted Hall, receives th e di sa p po i n t e d F e lt on (Mr. G. Bennett) in his homestead, and many are the anathemas uttered by John Savile against the grind ing extortions of the favourite Buckingham. John Savile has one daughter, Lilian (Miss Laura Addi son), a girl full of romance and an adorer of chivalry, who in our days would have been a Young Englander. She cannot believe that such a chivalrous character as the Duke of Buckingham would know ingly commit extortion or wrong, and she waxes warm in his praises. Buckingham (Mr. Marston), having become acquainted with the idolatry of Lilian introduces himself to the house in disguise, and un dertakes to conduct her to Buckingham, to plead her father's and her country's cause with the god of her idolatry. Having succeeded in seducing her from her home and her father's protection, the paragon of chivalry proclaims his rank, and attempts to seduce his victim. His suit is rejected with indignation by the in sulted Lilian, and in this scene the acting of Miss Addison was magnificent. Felton, who has dis covered the flight of Lilian, follows the fugitives, and in the streets of Portsmouth stabs the "paragon of chivalry " to the heart, while Lilian, who has poisoned herself to save her virtue, falls dead into her father's arms. The piece was beautifully acted throughout, and was completely successful. Miss Addison and the other principal artists were called before the curtain, and there were repeated calls for the author, who, however, was not in the house, or at least did not choose to show himself. The house was crowded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER AUTUMN RACES.—YESTERDAY. The Selling Stakes of 5 sovs. each, and 20 added; for three yrs old, &c. Heats. One mile and a quarter, Mr. H.

They are a very neat coin, about the size of a farthing, the centre being formed of silver, having on the right side a profile of her Majesty, and on the obverse the Roman numeral L. surrounded with a rim of copper, in Five-shillin g pi eces , w i t h rims, on the s ame p r i nc i p l e , tcagrorelidbcceodemn'irTgeshoeauntAl.dodsl silver P Penny," A CAUTION TO PLAINTIFFS IN THE NEW COUNTY CounTs.—ln the Bloomsbury County Court yesterday, a plaintiff, on being called several times, did not appear, and the defendant, alluding to a provision in the Act, asked the Court to award him some compensation for his loss of time in appearing to the summons. The Clerk of the Court told him he must pay the usual fee in the office before he could be heard. The defendant paid the fee and renewed the application. The Court allowed him the expenses he had paid, and a further sum for his trouble and loss of time. The money was ordered to be paid into Court. By the 79th section it is enacted that a Judge in his discretion may award a sum for the trouble and attendance of a defendant. CORONER'S INQUEST. - -Yesterday evening,' Mr. Bedford held an inquest, at the Grange Tavern, Carey street, Lincoln's lan-fields, on view of the body of Wil liam Allen, aged 35, who lived at No. 51, Charles street, Drury-lane, and who got a miserable subsistence by picking up bones in the streets. It appeared from the evidence that on Monday last, the deceased, while in the pursuit of his calling, picked up a piece of paper in Quebec-mews, which contained something like sugar, which he ate, and which he subsequently said was poison. He went home about four o'clock, when one of the lod gers took him to St. Giles's workhouse. At five o'clock, he was conveyed to King's College Hospital, where he died the following morning, about two o'clock. Mr. Tanner, surgeon, said that the body was emaciated, and the stomach, with the intestines, were inflamed by the effect of some irritant poison. He analysed the contents, in which he was satisfied of the presence of arsenic, of which he must have taken a large quantity. He stated that arsenic had a sweet taste. Verdict,----" That the deceased died from the effects of arsenic, taken by him self, not knowing it to be arsenic." SALE OF THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE BISHOP OF CoaK.—Yesterday the sale of the valuable library of the late Dr. Murphy, Roman Catholic Bishop of Cork, was commenced by Messrs. Sotheby, the auctioneers, of Wel lington-street, Strand. This extraordinary collection of theological books will take upwards of sixty days in their disposal, and it is a singular circumstance that the greatest portion consists of works of the most eminent Protestant divines, and of the greatest rarity. Those sold yesterday fetched good prices, but there was nothing worthy of especial notice. MR. TEMPLETON.—We perceive from the Scotch papers that our great tenor singer is winning " golden opinions "in his native land. He has recently visited nearly every principal town in Scotland, and has every. where been received with the most unbounded enthusi• asm. lie gave a concert at Kilmarnock on Friday, of which the Ayr Observer speaks in the following terms : —Templeton 's concert came off on Friday evening, in the large assembly room of the George Hotel, which was densely crowded. Several of the neighbouring aristo cracy and other "distinguishes" were present. The programme was similar to that of the entertainments he has lately given in the surrounding districts, and which have been attended with such marked success. " Tell her I love her," " Sally in our alley," " The meeting of the waters," " The Minstrel Boy," the grand scena, " All is lost no w ," an d " Old T o wl e r" p rocured the most rapturous encores ; while " The brisk young lad" convulsed the assemblage with laughter, who testified their applause by the loudest encores. The company seemed to be also exceedingly delighted with Mr. Tern pleton's literary part of the evening's entertainment. Mr. Blewitt presided at the piano in his usual masterly manner, and his singing of his two racy productions, " The little fat grey mars" and " Nobody pops the question" had the effect of sending the audience away in the greatest good humour.

CITY, QUA RTER 'lO 7 711 l EE. The Cotton Market 'at Liverpool yesterday was heavy, with prices of American id. lower for the week, and Surats id. below last Friday's quotations. The sales amount to 3,000 bags, of which 500 were Ame rican, for export, and include 2,500 American, at sd. to 6d.; 250 Surat, at 38d. to 4d.; and 50 Egyptian, at 7d. to Bd.—The Share market was firm, but there was not much business doing. At the sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., prices were drooping, but there was no change of note. The following are a few of the quotations;— Leicester &Bedford,Exchange Certificate £0 11 0 Buckinghamshire ... 6 10 0 Great Northern Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 6 16 0 Shrewsbury and Birmingham (A) 2 9 0 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 0 15 0 London and Blackwall, No. 1 Madrid and Valencia North British, Thirds ... 1 10 0 North Staf f ordshire Eastern Counties • ••• 00000000 ••• 15 19 0 Shropshire Union and Canal 1 3 0 Manchester and Southampton— Taw Vale Extension and Dock .. 0 16 6 Eastern Counties, York Extension 7 16 0 Thera are a few of the letters received from Liver pool and Manchester to-day which have a more confi dent bearing in their tone as to future prospects. It was anticipated, however, that the country orders for goods would have come in more freely. The suspension of payments by the firm of Coates and Company and its branch firms at Manchester had been a heavy blow to the expectations of holders of stocks of manufactured fabrics, as certainly business was expected to be done for export to the United States, if not for large, at least for moderate amounts of goods. This is likely to be a very blank day indeed in the colonial markets, not one public sale of produce being announced, and only a trifling amount of "odds and ends" being declared, to attract buyers interested. We regret to have to announce that information has been received this morning of the suspension of pay ments by the Honiton Bank. The London agents are Messrs. Lubbock and Company, but it is represented that they are well protected. It is hardly safe to notice the amount for which the bank has failed. They were privileged to issue: to the sum of about 19,020/. The house went under the names of Mr. Christopher Samuel Flood and Harry Buckland Lott. The event has not created any excitement in the City. There is a meeting now being held of the creditors of the firm of Messrs. Samuel Philips and Co. It is yet too early to give the result. The memorandum of Coffee exported from Colombo shows that in ten years the quantity has been more than quintupled. With the exception of a small quantity shipped at Galle, all this coffee trade is concentrated at Colombo ; and the total imports and exports of the port last year, it will be seen, tell little short of a millioa and a half sterling. In 1836 the whole trade of the island, export and import, was 7alued at little less than a third of this sum, viz. 411,167/.; and in 1826, twenty-one years ago, the whole trade of the colony was valued at only 309,747/. Estimated quantity-1447, 240,000 cwt. Value of Imports and Exports for 1846—Imports, 1,011,289/. 1 Is. 10d. ; exports, 467,6201, 7s. 2d. Vessels Inwards and Outwards—lnwards, 990 vessels, 93,076 tons; outwards, 999 vessels, 91,468 tons. A material change has taken place in the aspect of the Money market. Consols have advanced from 621 to 83k. Some very excellent business has been done. It has been hinted that the directors of the Bank have been in conclave to reduce the rate of interest. At the present time of writing no official intimation has ap peared. The fluctuations in Consols for the Account stand thus as yet, opened at 821, then then it, then a jump up to 83, at which they remain firm, rather buyers. Bank Stock has risen from 184 to 186, the Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. from 821 to 82k. and the Three per Cents. Consuls from 821 to The premium upon Ex chequer-bills has touched 19s, discount, but a sale has been made at 14s. East India Bonds are at 35 discount. In the Foreign Stocks the only business done was in Austrian at 100i,In Danish 79 to 80, in Belgian at 87 ex-div., and in Dutch Four per Cents. Certificates at 81i.

Judgment was pronounced on the 14th of July, 1841, but on the 2d of that month Percival had conveyed the oyster bed to Lawrance, his soliictor, who subsequently sold it, as he stated, in liquidation of a debt of 4851. due by Percival to him The present suit was virtually against Lawrance, and the parties who claimed liens on the oyster bed.

It w as an ac ti on t o recover compensation in damages for the alleged negligent working of cer tain mines at Newcastle-under-Lyme by the defen dant, by which the foundations of some houses pos sessed by the plaintiff gave way, and were thereto!e seriously injured. The jury found for the plaintia on the first and second issues--namely, that he had 1 ", right to the fo un d a ti ons o f his houses, and awar ded him 301. dam ages fb r t h e negligent working o f the mine by the defendant ; but they found for the de fendant on th e fourth plea, which was to the effeet that he had a r i g ht to the minerals, and that it ha d been the custom from time immemorial to work the mines in the district in a similar manner. The ATTORNEY-GENERA L no W moved, pursuant to permission r eserve d b y t h e C ourt, for a rule ca lling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdiet should not be entered for the defendant on the first and second issues ; or why the verdict should not be re stricted to the first issue. The declaration averred that the foundations had been undermined lay th e negligent and improper working of the defendeutt and that he (the pl a i n tiff) was en ti t l e d to enjoy the foundations without hindrance, Now, he contended that the finding was inconsistent, and that the record should come under the review of the Court, in order that it might be amended, so that the matter migh t be re-opened and discussed; for it was obvious that there was some misconstruction in the minds of the : jury with respect t o th e words " negligent work i ng ." There was no evidence to show that this was the ease —i n fact they found the defendants had a right to work the mine, and if that were' so, how could it be said that the plaintiff was entitled to enjoy the foun dations without hindrance or disturbance? Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD, on the part of the applied for a ru l e to show cause why the plaintitl should not have judgment on the damages awtaded him. Lord DENMAN—These pal ties o ught to have what ever rules th e y a ppl y f or, b ecause the matter requ ires further discussion. The Court, however, consented to this without assenting to any of the propositions enunciated. GRIM. CON.—GADSBY V. ESTALL. Sir F.

It appeared that Mr. Gadsby was a commercial ' traveller, and was compelled frequently to be a bsent from town for the firm with which he was connected, and also to r ema i n unt il a l ate hour at the coun ting' house in the City, but there was not the slightest The on his c on d uc t t owar d s hi s w if e . defendant, who was a married man, came to reside next door to the plaintiff, in Ellcumbe-terra ce ' Islingtnn, which was called from the father of the plaintiff's wife, a blican, who resided nearly oppo.site. The plaintiff and defendant were almost entirelY strangers to each other, but a strong intimacy appeared to have sprung u p b etween t h e plain tift` wife and the defendant, and th a t h o frequently visited her during the absence of her hush tnd. The evidence with respect to the alleged criminal i n tercoursc_l between the parties ma i n l y, if not altoget h er , rested upon two very important facts---ithe first being the circumstances which occurre d one n i g ht pr ior to th? plaintiff's wife going into the count ry, and the second a letter alleged to have been written by the defendant to Mrs. Gad s b y, w hi lst staying at Bloomfield Farm. which he (the Learned Counsel) read to the jury In his opening, thinking that he should have been able to prove th a t it was wr i tten b y h i m.
