SATURDAY MORNING. I gave up writing last night on ascertaining that the Ebenezer would not sail before the afternoon of today, and shortly afterwards a sharp firing began along the river. There is now no neutral ground, and the fire came down wards from the Convent of St Antonio across to this side, not paying the slightest respect to vessels of any nation. I bad just come aboard the vessel in which I sleep, when a lighterman was shot in a boat alongside, and died instantly; a man in a brig alongside us got a bullet through his hat ; and all hands were ordered below in all the vessels during the fire, which lasted about 20 minutes. This was about half.past eight o'clock, and I then learned that a similar fusilade had taken place ab.ut 12 o'clock yesterday, but fortunately without any injury save to the rigging of some of the ships. It is thus plain that there is no secu rity for neutrals. Nothing occurred during the night, except the ordinary routine of throwing in shells and round shot which have not, however, dine any mischief. Fires take place every night at Villa Nova, but how caused I am unable to say. Two light pieces and a howitzer arrived yesterday to Don Aliguel's army, f rim Almeida. They have not as yet got up any heavy battering guns, their largest guns being 18-pounders. Two days since two vessels, one with 35 Poles, and another with 120 French volunteers, came in. The foreign brigade is now very strong, and altogether Don Pedro has a thousand men more now under arms than he had on the 29th of Sep tember. G. D. Colonel Cotter has arrived in London from Oporto on his way to Ireland, for the purpose of raising a battalion for the service of the Queen, which is to be composed entirely of Irish, and to be called the Queen's Own Regi ment. SAILING OF THE COMBINED FLEETS " PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, NOV. 4. " The combined squadrons of France and Eng Lind got under weigh at 2 o'clof!k to-day with a fair wind, for the Dutch coast.

" It is impossible to give you an estimate of the various feelings which prevail d among the many hundred spec tators, gre.t part nsval, at the sight of the tricoloured flag ailing in unison with the British union." TURN-OUT AT MACCLESFIELD. SATURDAY. NOV. 3. About three weeks ago another '• turn-out" took place, fur, we presume. an advance of wages, though there is a mystery about the origin of this " strike," which the weavers themselves seem hardly to undersrand. But that an advance was their oh**, we must conclude—for they insist upon a scale of prices (comprised in a list which is put forth), • airulated at such an advance as the masters find it qui'e impossible to o. , mply with. The " turn.out" became general and for sou'e time past tl,e sound of a shuttle has not lien head in the town. Much ill-Beeline has been t enericed. and much iticirepte,writation gore abroad. Tom popular clamour wit.. directed mainly against one particular fi m. which subs quent i. quiry pro.ed to be groundless. One Front of this ought to be mentinued; the firm in question, it has been admitted by weavers, was a• the period of the tuin-iiut paying n.arly one sixth more en th produce of 600 looms in Alaccles• field than another firm, to which no obloquy art ched, was paying on 300 looms in the country ; although a much higher price was paid by that firm to some half dozen looms in the town ! At the commencement of the present week there ap peared no prospect of the differences being adjusted. Several of the neighbouring gentlemen, grieved to witness the distress which the weavers had brought upon them selves and their families, then stepped forward and offered themselves as mediators. In their presence a meeting of the masters and a number of the bands in their eery/0y took place, when the former unanimously declared it impossible that the prices put down in the list could be maintained. It was then agreed that a meeting of the employers and a given number of the men from each establishment should take place on Thursday last, in the presence of the gentle men who had offered their mediation. This design, how ever, was partially frustrated by the "Committee" of the weavers, who, unfortunately for the interests of the labour ing class, possess too great an influence over them. The proposed attendance of the men was prevented by threats. A few of them, however, did attend, and a conference of some hours' duration took place. Another meeting was fixed for the following day, and it was agreed that the masters should then he prepared to state what prices they would consent to pay for weaving. In the interim a meeting of the operatives was held at their place of rendezvous, when, at the instigation of the " Committee," it was determined that the persons ap pointed should not be allowed to attend, and that no terms should be list-ned to unless offered through the me dium of such individuals as the " Committee" should appoint for that purpose. We understand that the manufacturers, at their meet. ing yesterday, came to a firm and positive determination to abide by the terms which they offered to the men, well knowing that the state of the market prevents their giving any advance; and convinced that unless some assimilation to the prices of weaving paid in other manufacturing dis tricts takes place here, that this important branch of the trade will be entirely lost to Macclesfield. We cannot close this narrative (our distant reader must bear with us, for the subject involves the mainten ince of a large portion of the inhabitants of this town) without an expression of regret that ouring this dispute a system of lawless intimid.ition has been prar•tised. Many peaceable men, who were desirous of continuing at their entpkyment have been deterred by threats of personal violence, and actual violence has indeed been committed. The houses of the workmen have been beset by numbers, and their windows broken. The Magistracy have, however, deter mined to suppress any further outrages that may be at t,mpted.--illacclesfield Courier. HECKMONDWIKE MARKET.—There was a great deal of business done at this market last Monday, and low skin wools, of various descriptions, were much in• quired after. Broke and Nods were likewise in much re quest, and a small advance was obtained. The blanket trade in this neighbourhood, we are happy to say, is in a very flourishing condition.—Halifax Express. STATE OF TRADE.—We cannot note much alteration in the state of trade, this week. We may ob serve, however, that the same activity still prevails among our spinners and manufacturers, and the same eagerness to purchase is still visible amongst our merchants. Tile woollen trade is certainly a shade better, and rather more business has been done in it lately. Low stout broad cloths, about Bs. per yard, are a little adv 'need in 'nice, and the demand is increasing. The stuff trade is very brisk, and the prices for six quarter wide merinos and (O'er fine light goods, are advancing. The merchants, at Br adto.d market, last Thursday, were heard to complain of the scarcity of merinos of these dimensions, and they were con.equently prevented from doing so much business as they wished. The se,rcity of merinos, in widths of six quarters. is owing principally, we understand, to the expense of altering the loom., which wool:: co.t on an average about four pounds each. It is thought, how ever, that, it t! e manwacturers will advance to a number of their weavers a sum adequate to such an alteration, it would ultimata. greatly redound to their advantage, as from various reasons, the demand for such goods is 11‘..1) , to b e Hutch more permanent than is general) , believed.— Halifax Express.

Etin Mr. GODWIN'S nnnul-tr Story of FLEETWOOD, With a New Introduction by the Author. Richard Bewley, New Burlington-street. (Late Cnlhurn and Bentley. ) rbe -4; t,t, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 5, 1832. No accounts have heen received from Oporto at the Portuguese Eukbassy of a later date than the 20th ult. Those which are given by the Times are to the 27th ult. If a general attack had been made by the Miguelites up to the 30th, and it had terminated in their favour, ac counts mi ;l itt have been received here through Spain, and b) telegraphic despatch from Bayonne. A general attack, however, was not expected by the Pedroi es ; but it was really desired, as they were well prepared. A British officer of dis tinction states in a letter that he visited the Serra Convent on the day after the cele brated attack, and found that already all the damage done by the Miguelites had been repaired—a proof of exertion very uncommon in the Portuguese character, and strongly demonstrative of the excellence of the system introduced by the EMPEROR and those who have the government of his affairs. The enthusiasm of the Pedroites is not less striking than their industry. In one of the late contests, 25 volunteers; all officers, who had formed them selves into a cavalry corps, attacked an entire column of the Miguelites, and put then* to rout. Of the comparative strength of the two armies, since the affair of the 29th of Sept., our readers may judge by the following state ment, which is from an authentic source : The loss of the Miguelites on the 29th of September, including desertion, and the return of the militia to their homes, was. 3,000 The loss on the 12th, 13th, and 14th Oct. Desertions since the 29th of September 4OO Reinforcements since 6 OOO Leaving a gain of 1,400 4,600 The loss of PEDRO on the 29ch of September was 12th, 13th, and 14th of October Reinforcements from Aveiro 5OO Desertions from the enemy 4OO From England and France Seamen and Marines from the Fleet 4OO 2 500 Being a gain of 2,100 Add to this the confidence of the Pe droites, as proved by the failure of all MIGUEL'S at tempts, their cause may be considered secure. Up to a late hour this morning the answer of the King of HOLLAND to the demands of the British and French Cabinets had not been received by our Government. It must not be inferred, however, from this delay that the King of HoLLANDintended to refuse compliance with their demands, although other circumstances in dicate that such was his intention. The time allowed for an answer was to the 2d instant, and as that day would be included, the answer would not be sent off until the evening of the 2d or the morning of the 3d, and could hardly reach Lon don until this afierilooll. The following are extracts from Brussels and German Papers received this morning : BRUSSELS, OCT. 31.—M. :Teen Vindermaelen, Clerk of the Ciiurr of Aei!ounts, set out yesterday evening fur Paris. He the bearrr of a great quantity of the obli gations of the 2d pat of the loan of 4S ibibions. A Belgian Catnnet messenger net out yesterday evening for London with despatches from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Two FrPnch generals of division are expected very shortly at Brussels. M. Dagnan, military superintendent of the French army of the North, has arrived at Ghent. A private letter from Paris, received yesterday, contains the following extract of a private letter from Brussels, the content+ of which, we have reason to believe, are conformable to the truth : " After a stormy conference between General Goblet and M. de Latour-Maubourg, the Belgian Ministers di rected M. Lehem to draw up a manifesto announcing, that if between this and the 31 of November the employ ment of the National and foreign forces to arrive at a so lution is not carried into effect they will resign, consider ing the actual state of things as inconsistent with the Na tional honour."— Union. The Journal du Commerce of Antwerp says, " The merchants of this city have received information to-day, that the Consuls of France and England, at Rotterdam, have invited the captains of ships belonging to their re• spective nations to quit the ports of Holland." Lord and Lady Fitzclarence, Captain Doyle, and their suite, arrived at Antwerp yesterday, and set out again for Brussels in the evening. Notwithstanding the news of the treaty of alliance between France and England, and notwithstanding the articles of the Nouvelliste and the Journal des Debuts, the tone of our Ministerial Journals is by no means con. &fent. The Memorial and the Emancipation maintain that too much reliance must not be placed on the promises of our allies, the French; and what is very remarkable, both advise war with H..lland, not with the aid of the French army, but by the Belgian forces alone. Is this a new mystification in the patrons of trose papers ? or will they perhaps at length venture? But we forget that there is a third question—will France permit them ?.— Journal du Commerce, of Antwerp. General Laborde, Aide-de-Camp to the King of the French, and Member of the Chamber of Deputies, has ar rived at Antwerp, and is g.dng to-day to Holland. He, as well as Lord Fitzclarence and Capt tin Doyle, had inter. views with the Governor Colonel Buzen.—Brussels Papers, Nov. 1. No papers published on Friday, the preceding day being a holydpy—All Saints' Day. STUTTGARD, OCT, 26.--His Excellency Count Feu° di Borgo, who arrived here on the 23d, has set out to-day on his return to Paris. NUREMBURG, OCT. 26.--We learn from good autho rity that, iastead of the corps of volunteers that it was in truded to raise for the service of Greece, a brigade is to be formed, for which the 6th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Regi ments of the Line will furnish one battalion each ; the brigade will be commanded by Major-General Baron de Hertling. It is not yet known what arrangements will be made respecting the cavalry. Colonel Trentine returned from Greece a few days since, and is said to have brought very satisfactory intelligence respecting the more peaceable state of that country Frankfort Papers, Oct. 30. The combined fleet, under the orders of Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM, has arrived in the Downs this day, and will sail on Wednesday for the coast of Holland. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday, contain some miscellaneous intelligence, but not of any paramount importance. Marshal GERARD, it seems, left the capital on Thursday night for his head-quarters at Valenciennes. According to advices received from Alex andria, the Viceroy of EGYPT was concluding an arrangement with the Porte, which had agreed to surrender Syria and the isle of Cyprus to MAHOMET Am. On Friday, say some of the French journals, the KING gave an audi ence to M. DUPIN, who stayed half an hour in busy conversation with his MAJESTY. A letter from Madrid of the 23d ult. published in Galignani's Messenger, states that a vast plot extended into every province of Spain for placing Don CARLOS on the Throne so soon as the KING was dead. The QUEEN pursues her new system with vigour. To-day is the stl► November, and a welcome day it will be to all school boys who are lucky enough to go to a school where the master is not obliged, by the disinclination of parents to be troubled w ith the presence of their children even to commemorate Guy Fawk's day, still to proceed witb the daily task. Oh, the glorious burning of fingers, singeing of clothes, firing of squibs, crackers, blowing up of mines, and hurly-burly of bonfires that used to take place in ' the good old times !' We recollect them well, and albeit obliged to confess that the day might have been passed more rationally, doubt much whether we should have been mue;t better than s it is a sign of improvem en t we now are. Perhaps in the times that all the old school-boy saturnalia are dying away, but still we cannot but sigh after them like the Israelites after the forbidden fleshpots of Egypt. That others view the matter in P. different light, we need no further proof than the article in our back page, from the Morning Post of this day. "We welcome with reverential gratitude," quoth our Contem porary, " the day," &c. We were astonished at the reverential gratitude of the Post, but still more astonished at what fol lowed. We must refer our readers to the article itself; buL ask them to consider it well as they proceed. We have no hesitation in say ing, that every sentence it contains, not sheer nonsense, implies an absolute falsehood. If our finances be impoverished, our resources en feebled, our trade crippled, our industry baffled, our nobles assailed by factious sedition, —if, we say, all or any part of what is here im plied be true,—to whom are we to attribute the misfortune ? The curious mode in which Heaven and " the spiritual hopes of countless mil lions" are made, towards the close of the article, to depend upon the maintenance of an enormous Church Establishment, is quite worthy of the Post, and too ridiculous to require elaborate exposure from us. Of course our contemporary argues that the Scotch, who have a very cheap ecclesiastical ministry, can have very few " spi ritual hopes ;" and that the Americans, who make no public provision whatever for their preachers, must be damned to all eternity. Perhaps the whole of the Post's jumble would be rendered intelligible by reading " temporal" for spiritual, and " a few hundreds" for count less millions. Seldom a week now passes but some exhibition of folly or petty tyranny takes place at one or other of the Police-offices. The Magistrates seem actually vying with each other for the palm of pre-eminent absurdity. If Queen-square wins the ass's head this week, Hatton-Garden is sure to carry it off the next. The other day Mr. WHITE grossly i nsu l te d a respecta bl e i n dividual because he exp resse d a very b ecom i ng se nse of indignation at the conduct of a man Whose rash. ness (to give it the mildest term) had occasioned the death of not less than five peoples and against whom—de-pite the Magistrate's opinion on the subject—a Coroner's inquest found a vet. dict of manslaughter ; and now Mr. LA ING, unwilling to be behind his brother Justice, com mits a poor, houseless wretch for fifteen days to the House of Correction because he is proved guilty of the enormous crime of—starvation ! We give a portion of the case as it appears this day in our Police Report : DISTRESSING CASE.-Siturday evening a distressed looking m rn, with his daughter, aged 16, and his two sons, the one 12 and the other 13 years of age, who scarcely bad a rag to cover them.elves, were charged by plice constable, 108 E., with begging. The officer deposed to having seen them beg in Bedford. 'quare. _ Mr. LAING—Why did you beg?—Why, your Wor• ship, I was forced to it. My children were in a state o starvation, crying for bread, and I did ask for relief. Where did you sleep last night ?—la the street, your Worship. Mr. LAING---I shall commit you to the House of Cor rection for fifteen days. Prisoner—l hone not, your Worship. Mr. LAING—Take him out. Prisoner—What will become of my children ? Waddington (the gaoler)—Wbat is to be done with the child en, Sir? Mr. LAING-Let them come in. On making their appearance he asked the girl her age, where she came from, and where she slept last night? Her answers were the same as given by her father to similar que+ti.ins. Mr. LAING then ordered them to go about their busi ness, and make the best of their way home to Manchester. While in the back yard their cries were piteous, and they bved of Wad-lington to allow them to go with their father to prison, but he told them he could not do so. The father, who was in the lock-up house, sent them out a penny, beinc , all he was possessed of, and they cried bit terly when they were compelled to go away. A trifling sum was collected for them, and they were advised to pro cure a lodging till Monday, and then apply to the Over seer of the parish for relief. The point which Mr. LAING-" most righteous Judge, a Daniel come to judg ment"—establishes by this conviction is, that all people who are half-starved, and more especially those who sleep in the streets at night, because they have neither couch nor straw on which to rest their aching limbs, are liable to fifteen days' imprisonment. Who shall say after this that poverty is not a fault, and starvation a sin of the deadliest magnitude ? Mr. LAING establishes the position beyond all question. The poor wretch whom he convicts has violated no moral principle—committed no outrage on society ; he is simply half-starved, and be ing so, must, as a necessary consequence, in the magisterial code, be a whole and entire criminal. It is astonishing what a pious horror all our police Magistrates entertain of poverty. They shrink from the unnatural spec. tacle, like a trim dandy from a chimney-sweep. To be poor and to be criminal, is with them one and the same thing. They cannot see how it is possible to be otherwise. Virtue clothed in purple and fine linen they can understand, for they are themselves proofs of the possibility of such a blessed union ; but virtue half starved and in rags, is a phenomenon they cannot at all reconcile to their sense of the " fitness of things." Taking poverty, therefore, as the ma gisterial criterion of a man's good or bad qua lities, we can at once see what sort of a chance a pauper is likely to have who finds himself brought into a Police Court. It he be merely poor, he may be lucky enough to get off with a week's imprisonment ; but if he be half starved, he may then make up his mind to fourteen days' or a month's retirement at the House of Co! rec don. Mr. LAING'S order to the poor fellow's children, .to go about their business—when it was satisfactorily proved that they had no busi. ness to go about—is a fine trait of character, a bul of genuine Hibernian breed. This blight Ma. gi-.trate is, we believe, a Scotchtnan—he ough to be an Irishman. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. By the French mail this morning, accounts stare that the effects of the armistice have been generally and favour. ably felt. All the political prisoners have been set at litierty. It is also assured that the independence of the Spanish colonies will be acknowledged, on condition that the new republics pay a certain indemnity, and for which England and France shall be a gnarantee. The Quern is to review on the 24th about 23,000 men ; she is to be dressed as a General of the Hussars. We understand that the Harlequin steamer, which left on Saturday morning for Rotterdam, with the mail and goods on board, as well ar p issengers. received ini.troc tions not to proceed further than Maigare Road., and there wait for the arrival of the Sir Edward Banks steamer with the mail from Holland, and communicate with the Captain tin the state of affairs in Holland. Letters have been received from Rio Janeiro to tjie Ist of September. Exchange 45. All was quiet there. THE FUNDS. This being the sth of November the Royal Exchange, as usual, is closed until 12 o'clock ; consequently the mer chants are assembled in the various coffee-houses. A re port prevails that the Lightning steaater arrived from Hot. land late on Saturday evening, but this is not known as yet as a positive fact. The most important information this morning relates to accounts from Oporto, of the 27th, by which it does not appear that any general attack on Oporto took place on the 26th, As was expected, but the Serra Convent had again been attempted, and after an hour's figi'ting the Aliguelites were repulsed. Consols, which left off on S sturday at 84 to k, opened at 84; at present tt.ey are 84 to it, with little doing. The Foreign Market is inactive. FIALF-PA ST ONE. Up to the present hour we have no accounts of the ar rival of the steamer, Lightning, from Holland. The wind being at N. E. will prevent the combined fleet from approaching the coast of Holland ; and the en trance of the French army into Belgium, it is supposed, will only take place on the 15th instant. The King of Holland, it is supposed, will not give his final answer until the above date. Up to the present hour we have neither report nor further particulars from Por tugal. Consols have been the whole of the morning 84 to with little doing. The fleet sailing has not had any effect on the Funds. In the Foreign Midget little doing. Spanish Stock will done at 17 ; at present it is 171 e. Dutch Stock no al. teration. Portuguese Scrip 31 discount. TBREE O'CLOCK. Consols for Account, 84 i. On Thursday last Mr. HUNIE passed through Leeds on his way to the north, accompanied by his friend Mr. GowAN, one of the candidates for the borough of Sunderland, having been invited to a public entertainment by a large body of the electors of that borough. Mr. HOME o served, that when he visited Manchester he ex pected to have found there a strong interest among theopera tive classes in favour of the Ten Hours' Fictory Bill ; but Si , fir was this from being the c ise, that though he was in very frequent communication with the working classes and their delegites, that subject was never once mentioned to him while he was in Manchester.—Leeds Mercury. On Tuesday morning a private in the Scotch Fusilier Guatds, stationed at the Sheet-street barracks, received 300 lashes, in the barrack-yard, pursuant to the sentence cf a court-martial, for striking, while in a state of intoxication, one of the sergeants belonging to the regi ment.

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took pleas and de murrers to-day, very few of which the Court was enabled to dispose of, Counsel being unprepared, in consequence of the late hour at which their briefs were delivered. His Honour rose 20 minutes before 12 o'clock. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Sergeant MEREIVETHER, baying received from his Majesty a patent of precedency, appeared in Court this morning, and took his seat within the bar. Mr. Justice J. PARKE then gave judgment in the case of Castledine v. Monday. It was a writ of error from the Court of Common Pleas, to a judgment or an action for a forcible entry and trespass, under the statute of Henry. There were three counts.—one under the statute, and two under the common law. The judgment was allowed by default, and a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for trettle costs. The error assigned was, that the plaintiff in error (defendant in the suit) was a minor, and only seventeen years of age, and therefore that he ought to have been sued by his guardian, and not person ally. The Learned Judge, having gone through a variety of decisions relating to this case, said the Court were of opinion that there was error in the judgment, and, conse quently, the judgment of the Court below must be re v er se d . CRIMINAL INFORMATION. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved, on the part of a Mr. Haseason, commander of a turchant vessel called the Reserve, for a criminal information .ig iinst Mr. Hopkins theprin•er and publisher of the Christian Advocate, 1'44 a libel, reflecting on his character. Capt. Hoseason was lying at Jamaica during the insurrection of the negroes last year. The Christian Advocate, in giving an account of that insurrection, proceeded to say, that no sooner bad that rebellion of the negroes been subdued than a more daring and outrageous r. bellion of the Whites commenced, and that they destroyed a numher of places which had always been held sacred as being devoted to public worship ; that on the north side of the Island four Wesleyan Me thodist, and 10 Baptist chapels were destroyed ; that those outrages were partly perpetrated by persons in a Magisterial situation, and by Captains of ships ; tha• among those who were present were Captain Smith, and also Captain Hoseason, of the Reserve. Their Lordship , would see that that was a charge against Capt. Hoseason of a very serious nature. Capt. Hoseason, in his affidavit, stated, that on the occasion adverted to, he was at Ja utaica, hut apprehending some such disturbance as did occur, he took every precaution to keep his officers and crew on board the ship, and that his orders were strictly obeyed, not one of his crew having gone on shore during the disturbance. The attack on his character was of a most ruinous nature, but be bad distinctly denied the truth of it. Mr. Justice J. PARSE-When was the article pub idled ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the libel was dated Alay 7th, but Captain Hoseason did not return this country until the day before the last day of last term. —Rule Nibi granted. EXCHEQUER CoURT.—(THIS DAY.) JOHNSON V. MOUNSEY. In this case Mr. PoLcocx moved for a rule to show ' cause why the verdict, which was for the plaintiff, should • not he set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground of its being against the weight of evidence. The cause ' was tried before 11r. Baron Bolland, at the late Lancashire Assizes, and was to recover damages for damage done at ' sea. The plaintiff was owner of a brig called the June, ' which had come in collision with the Hercules, belonging to the defendant. The Learned Gentleman said that it was a most singular fact, that during all his experience he had never seen any case of this kind, which had happened from accilent, for Juries invariably give verdicts for the phintiff.. In this case be had produced one of the strongest cases for the defence that he had ever done, and he had reason to believe that the verdict had not given satisfaction to the Learned Baron who bad tried the case, or he would not trouble the Court on the matter. The plaintiff had examined three witnesses, who were on board the Jane, and had their depositions, but at the trial he only pro duced two of them. For the defence, all the persons who were on board the Hercules were called except one, and he was accounted for, being ill, thereby proving that the defendant wished to lay every fart before the Jury. Tile question at issue was whether the Jane had not altered her course at the critical moment, thereby causing the acci dent ; the defence was, that the Hercules had seen the June, and had, according to the rules of siiling, put down their helm, and that the Jane, contrary to those rule.., had also put down hers. Now the wanes., whose depose- ' tine was in the possession of the plaintiff, but was kept back, was the Master of the Jane, who at the time was at the helm, and therefore best able to give proper evidence. This was his ground for the present application, which he acknowledged he could not expect to be granted if his Lordship was not dis•atisfied with the Verdict. Mr. Baron BOLLAND said, though lie would have found the other way bad he been on :he Jury, yet as there had been con fli ct i ng evidence laid before the Jury, he could not say that he was dissatisfied with their finding. The Court refused the rule, observing that there was no question of law involved, and that were they to grant a rule, it would merely be sending down the same facts for a new trial, when the result might most likely be thee awe. BROMLEY Z. 11ARDy. This was an action for a false arrest, tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at the London Sittings after last Tenn, when a verdict was founa fur the plaintiff—Danaagto 1201. Serjeant ANDREWS now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had on the groun d s of exee . s i ye damages, an d t h e verdict being against the balance of evidence. It appealed that Bromley had accepted accommodation bills for person named Wilson, which had beta dis counted I.y e defend tnt A settlement had taken place between Wilson and him, and a balance struck. At this time there was a bill rimmed by Brumley for 60/. in his l , ands, which was kept as a collateral security. Upon this bill Hardy arrested Bromley for 25/., alai, it the `?trVl Pe , r tiial, only recovered 114 Thi. 4;‘,.s the arrest cora . __ plained of. . - The Court granted the rule, on the - ground of excessive darnigeg, the balance of evidence tvtis,eiatirely aauestion - for the Jury. _ .

None were of nny interest, and being all disposed of by half-past 12 o'clock, the Court then rose. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There were moderate supplies of most kinds of Grain during during the preceding week, and the return of Flour was rather limited for this time of year ; yet the demand throughout the week has been slack for most Corn, at last Monday's rates. This morning's fresh arrival of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Pease was moderate, and there were some vessels from Ireland with Oats. As several country buyers made their appearance from the North to-day, the finest parcels of W , mat were taken off readily at Is. to 2s. per quarter advance on the prices of last Monday; other sorts were steady sale, at the previous rates. Old Wheat remains unvaried. Malting Barley has fetched ra ther more money ; other descriptions were dull, at last quota tions. Beans met a slack demand, at former prices. Pease of both kinds are steady. The Oat trade continues very heavy, but the prices of such as are good and sweet remain the same as previously quoted. The demand for Flour has been fair, with out alteration in value. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. .Vheat, Red (old) -s. -s.
