Since this day se'nnight, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of all kinds of Grain, as well as Flour of home peoducc, were on a very limited scale, even the time of year considered. From Ireland and Scotland, the re ceipts were again very small, and from abroad we re ceived only 6,029 quarters of Wheat ; 3,967 quarters of Barley ; 478 quarters of Beans ; 2,730 quarters of Peas ; and 4,158 barrels of Flour ; being the smallest importation in any one week during the whole of the present year. Fresh up to-day, coastwise, the arrivals of English Wheat from Kent were moderately good ; those from Essex, Cambridgeshire, &c., small. By land carriage very little Wheat came to hand from any quarter. On the whole, the stands were rather scantily filled with sampl es o f both red and white ; and we have to report a steady, though not to say brisk, de mand for all descriptions, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, and at which a good clearance was effected. The supply of Foreign Wheat on show was good, but a large portion of it was of very inferior quality. The best parcels commanded a steady sale, at the extreme rates paid on Monday last ; but the middling and inferior kinds were a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices. Superfine Malting Barley sold freely, at full currencies. All other kinds of Barley were dull, but not cheaper. Notwithstanding the supply of Malt was small, that article, especially the secondary qualities, was a slow sale, and the quotations were with difficulty supported. The best parcels of Oats, which were very scarce, com manded a ready sale, at extreme figures; and the value of other kinds was well supported. Beans were in short supply and moderate request, at last week's prices. Boiling Peas were quite as dear; but other kinds were somewhat neglected. Indian Corn and Meal were in moderate request, and prices were well supported. Rye Meal was a slow sale, but not cheaper. Town-made Flour supported late rates. A good business was doing in barrelled qualities, at our quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex & Kent, Malt—Chevalier..

In the northern ports about 1,200 head of each kind of stock have been landed from Holland and Germany ; and, at Southampton, 10 Oxen from Portugal. The quality of the above imports has been very inferior. The supply of foreign stock here, to-day, was again large, viz., 894 Oxen and Cows, 3,040 Sheep and Lambs, and 68 Calves, the general quality of which, especially that of the Dutch Sheep, was very inferior. With home fed Beasts we were fairly supplied, though the number was less than that exhibited on this day week. As the quality of this description of stock was by no means first rate, and the attendance of both town and country buyers was comparatively large, the Beef trade was somewhat active, at an advance on last week's quota tions of quite 2d per 81bs. The primest Scots sold freely, at from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs, and a total clearance of the Bullock supply was effected without difficulty. The droves from the northern grazing districts comprised about 1,500 short horns ; from the eastern, western, and midland districts, 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England, 750 of various breeds; and, from Scotland, 190 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were about 2,000 less than those offered on Monday last. On the whole, the Mutton trade was firm, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, last week's currencies. The primest old Downs, which were very scarce, readily produced from 4s lod to 5s per Blbs, and very few of any breed were turned out un sold. Although the supply of Calves was good, the Veal trade was firm, at Friday's advanced rates of 2d per Blbs. There was a steady sale for Pigs, at very full prices.

Fair average supplies •f meat slaughtered in the country have been received up to these markets during the past week ; and those on offer, killed in the metropolis, have been seasonably good, but of very middling quality. Prime Beef has sold steadily, at full prices ; and Veal has produced an advance of quite 2d per Blbs. All other kinds of meat have met a very dull inquiry, on some what easier terms. Nearly 1,500 carcases of foreign meat, in very inferior condition, have been on offer, and partly disposed of at very low figures.

(CONTINUED). DOUGLAS JERROLD. The three chapters of the "Dreamer and the Worker" continued in this number are very good— indeed, whenever as in these chapters the Dreamer and the Worker come into actual collision, the effect is always excellent ; but when the Dreamer appears alone the interest is not kept up, and the story drags heavily. " A Day i❑ the New Forest" is a well written description of the sylvan beaaties of that dis graceful monument of the Norman Conquest. " No vember Clouds and Counsels," by Paul Bell, is, to quote the words of the great Paul himself, " dull enough, God wot." "And when I look over what I have written," saith Paul, "it seems as if the fog had got into my pen or my pen into the fog"---a proposi tion the truth of which we are by no means disposed to controvert. But, if Paul Bell is dull, Silverpen is admirable. " The Works" of John Ironshaft is the best paper that has appeared in this magazine for some months past. " The Carved Chests of the Channel Islands," is an interesting description by Mr. Hoskins of the old carved coffers of which every family of "gentle blood" in the Channel Islands possesses owe or more, and in which they keep their most pre cious archives. The antiquary will be much interested by the earlier portion of this paper, and the lover of romance will revel in the story of the " Carved Oak Chest," with which the paper concludes. The poetry of this magazine is always good, and this month is no exception to the rule. The following, by E. L. Chatterton, is not unworthy of the muse of Beranger LINES WRITTEN ON SEEING A BEGGAR KNEELING ON THE PAVEMENT TO SOLICIT ALMS. Why kneels't thou there, thou abject slave? Why crouch thus low, with looks so wan? Stand up, erect! if thou wouldst crave Assistance flipte thy fellow man. The Almighty Framer of this earth, In love, with plenty made it teem; And thou wert heir, e'en from thy birth, Of wealth more than thou dar'st to dream, Yes! thou—poor, humble, simple fool, — Art joint inheritor of earth, And yet remains't the willing tool Of those who wrong'd thee from thy birth, Up, like a man! assert thy right, Nor stoop so low to be down-trod ; Ask firmly, from the hand of might, The portion given thee by thy God. Be dazzled not by rank's false glare, Nor awed by each high-sounding name; Thou art a man 'mongst men,—thy share Of Nature's gifts then boldly claim. But never more with downcast eye, And body bending to the sod, Degrade thou thus humanity, And kneel to man as to thy God. MURRAY'S HOME and COLONIAL LIBRARY. Nos. XL V XLIX , L., and LL— The River Amazon—The Wayside Cross—Manners and Customs of India—Gleig's Washington and New Orleans. A passion seems to have taken hold of publishers now-a-days for the production of serial libraries. Fortunately for the people such is the case, for in lieu of ephemeral broadsheets they are now supplied with valuable works—works worthy of preservation on the bookshelf, and accessible to the million, from their remarkable cheapness. Of this character is the library cf Mr. Bohn, of Mr. Bogue, of Mr. Burns, and of Mr. Bentley. Mr. Murray emulates his en terprising contemporaries in the present reasonably priced and excellent publication. Month after month the works are issued with the utmost regularity, and their varied contents is a sufficient augury as to the ultimate importance of the enterprise. Travels, bio graphies, histories, fictions, and journals, follow each other with agreeable diversity, and render the Home and Colonial Library as motley in character as it is moderate in price, and neat in general arrangement. SHARPE'S MODERN MAPS. Parts IX. and X. These elaborate and cheap delineations of the globe are continued with no abatement of excellence in any one particular. They comprise maps of " Western Russia from the Baltic to the Euxine," " Russia on the Euxine," " Russia on the Caucasus," and " Russia in Europe ;"—the vastness of the dominions of the Autocrat, and the minuteness of the annotation pecu liar to this serial, necessitating such a piecemeal pub lication. HISTORY OF ENGLAND DURING THE THIRTY YEARS' PEACE. Pte. VII. A beautiful engraving of a very great man—Bo livar—adds this month to the attractions of the con tinuation of the " Pictorial Hisiory of England," edited by Charles Knight. No. VII. closes with the death of old George 111., on the 29th of January, 1820. As far as the work has proceeded it appears to us to be of extraordinary importance; the facts of this memorable period of thirty years' peace are re corded with admirable simplicity and with still more admirable impartiality. The work deserves universal encouragement. LE FOLLET. The same elegant engravings of the fashions— drawn with the utmost nicety and coloured with a fastidious and even artistic brush—decorate this little monthly feuilton. The publication is altogether with out a competitor. THE ART-UNION MONTHLY JOURNAL. For splendour and profusion of illustration the Art- Union still commands applause. The number for November is not one jot inferior to any of its predecessors, and the engravings, whether on steel, copper, or wood, are eminently worthy of commen dation. The frontispiece, being a plate copied from a picture in the possession of S. C. Hall, Esq., F.S.A., is exquisite. Ariel's song, " Come unto these yellow Sands" is the theme; R. Huskisson is the painter ; T. A. Prior is the engraver; E. Brain is the printer. They have all performed their offices in its produc tion admirably; and Mr. Huskisson, who is, we un derstand, a young artist, displays in the com p o sition very great promise, both in conception and execution. Mrs. S. C. Hall's charming fairy tale of love, " Mid summer Eve," is brought to a conclusion. The criticisms, essays, and miscellaneous intelligence which make up the letter-press are, as usual, characterised by much intelligence. Plymouth, Nov. 6, 1847. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SU NDAY. — Yesterday the Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early walk. The Prince of \Vales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, and the Princess Helena, walked and rode out on ponies. In the afternoon, the Princess Royal, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, drove in a pony cerriage to Frogmore House. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Captain the Hon. A. 11. Gordon, enjoyed the sport of shooting yesterday afternoon. The Royal Family took walking and pony exercise this morning in the grounds adjacent to the Castle. This morning the Queen and Prince Albert, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court and of the do mestic household, attended Divine service in the pri vate chapel of the Castle. The Hon. and Rev. C. L. Courtenay officiated. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Rent also attended the service, the Baroness de Speth atte n di ng on h er Royal Highness. His Excellency Suleiman Pacha, Ambassador from the Sublime Porte, at Paris, arrived at the Turkish Embassy, in Bryanstone-square, on Friday last, ac companied by his Secrete-ies, Remzi Effendi and Mons. Antoine Fingher. His Excellency purposes remaining a few weeks in England. General Rolt had an interview with Sir George Grey, on Saturday, at the Home-office. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Mary Wood left town on Saturday, for Hickleton Hall, Yorkshire. BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.—Yesterday, a case of some importance to licensed victuallers was heard before the sitting magistrate, H. Martineau, Esq., Mayor, and and J. James, Esq., at the public office. Amongst a number of informations laid against parties by the in spector of weights and measures were three against Thomas Blyth, of the Bull's Head, Prospect-row; Joseph Bill, of the Dog and Partridge, Birchall-street; and Thomas Creed, of the Black Horse, Ashted-row, for having deficient eighth-of•a pint measures, being re • spectively short by nine, eleven, and five drachms of the proper contents. The case of Mr. Blyth was first gone into, and after the information had been proved by the inspector, Mr. Thomas Harding, who appeared to defend Mr. Blyth, said the case was one of importance to the licensed victuallers of Birmingham and the trade gene rally, as it involved the legality of a practice frequently adopted in the town, that of having a measure for selling fourpennyworth of brandy. It was provided by Act of Parliament that it was illegal to sell by any measure other than the aliquot part of a quart, when such aliquot part was asked for by the purchaser, and the question was, in the present case, whether a measure purporting to be an aliquot part of a quart could be used. There was no pretence on the part of the spirit dealers that the four pennyworth brandy measure was an eighth -part measure, it was merely a matter of convenience between the vendor and his customer. Mr. James said they had no means of ascertaining that the public had justice done to them unless the measures were stamped. Mr. Harding said it would be for Mr. Way, the inspector, to prove that they were used as eighth-part measures. The magistrates, after consulting with their clerks for a short time, dismissed the case.

It is manifestly unjust and inexpedient to require the Bank, under such circumstances, to part with gold and silver in coin, at the mint price; which, when melted, may be immediately sold to her again as metal, at a much higher price, compelling her at such times so to contract her issues as seriously to cripple the internal circulation of the nation; it is therefore suggested,— Thirdly, That whenever, from any temporary causes, the price of go ld or s il ver, as metals, shall exceed the price attached to them as coins, at such times the directors shall be allowed to pay bank notes, in specie, at the same price as that at which they may be compelled to buy it. And to prevent the possibility of the Bank trading in specie to the in convenience of the public, that it shall be imperative upon the directors, at such times to offer for gold or silver precisely the same price as that at which they are ready to part with them. In addition to these suggestions, it may be desir able to stipulate that there should be some restriction as to the proportionate amount of silver coin to be tendered in any one payment; for instance, in all payments of 101. and upwards, the receiving party might be legally authorised to object to the receipt of silver coin for more than one-fifth of the whole pay ment. And in all payments of silver for 25/. and upwards, ingots, duly assayed and stamped by the Mint, at the rate of ss. 2d. per oz., might be adopted as money, and they would. probably be found very useful for foreign payments. Any additional profit accruing to the Bank of England from the adoption of these suggestions, might be made a matter of commutation between that establishment and the Government; so that, after the Bank was fairly remunerated for the cost and respon sibility of managing this branch of our monetary_ system, the surpl us pro fi t m i ght be applied in aid of the national revenue.

In Caroline-street, in the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, may be seen a fine specimen of the " sheep dog," whose sagacious powers have long attracted the attention of the whole neighbourhood. He makes a daily practice of parading the street, on either side, at the several meal hours, and placing hi mse lf i n f ron t of the windows o f the houses, solicits charity (al though well fed by his master) at the hands of the inmates, who fail not to supply him with "uncon sidered trifles," for which he return 3 thanks by a loud bark. The stately manner with which he peram bulates, first on one side and then on the other, and the correctness of the hour he waits on his numerous benefactors, is truly surprising ; and those who may chance not to possess a time-piece to denote the period for dinner, or fail to hear the bells ring at the neigh bouring potteries for the departure of the workmen, have only to look out at their doors, and they will as punctually find the sagacious creature begging from window to window for about the space of five minutes. This valuable animal is the property of Mr. Pep loe, coach builder, residing in the street before mentioned, and prides himself not a little by possess ing such a faithful and extraordinary creature, with powers not generally found in the sheep-dog. He takes his station at a regular hour in the coach yard towards evening and by his watchfulness during the night is instrumental in protecting the valuable property on the premises from the numerous attacks of thieves, who, in defiance of the police, have so long infested the district. He is well known by the name of " Bob," and is a ;complete pet with the chil dren in the locality, many of whom indulge them selves by having a ride on his glossy back, and with which he appears much pleased, wagging his stumpy tail in token of approbation. TALE or A SHIRT.—A "navvy " was apprehended at Lincoln the other day on a charge of stealing from a poor man a shirt, but the owner refused to prosecute. It appeared that the two parties were in a public• house together the other day, when one offered to the other a shirt which ho had to sell. After the regular beating down of price the shirt was bought for one shilling, and the seller left the room. Shortly afterwards the pur chaser discovered that he had bought his own shirt, which the pretended owner had cleverly abstracted from his bundle and had sold to him.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. SEIZURE FOR RATES ON A RAILWAY.—On Wed nesday morning a novel scene took place at the Chelms ford Railway station—nothing less than the officers of justice marching upon the line, warrant in hand, and clutching with the strong arm of the law a first class carriage in payment of the sum of 311 due for poor-rates to the parish of Margarettino , . It seems the directors imagined themselves aggrieved by the weight the over seers laid upon them, and commenced an appeal at the last quarter Session, when it was thought the question was in a train for decision, but they suddenly stopped short and abandoned it. Still the cash was not forth coming ; nothing was therefore left for it but a little compulsion. As the trains, however, made no stoppage in Margaretting, but went whizzing and snorting, and whistling on, as much as to say—" wo wish you may get it," and as cuttings and embankments and drains and bridges are not very saleable commodities, it was found necessary to put the law in motion in the neighbouring parish of Chelmsford. Accordingly a warrant was issued, signed by Capt. Skinner, c h a i rman o f the bench; the carriage, once laid hold of, was committed to th e safe keeping of a strong l oc k, t h e worthy na holding the key, and when last we heard of it certain officials of the company were hovering round, end eavour. ing by legal conj urat i ons and mystic parch ments to bring it from the ho use o f b ondage to the freedom of the e curious and interesting rail. — LO C A / T te l tn G sfo ß rd ED C' s h . r_on s ic o / em . on the Serpentine piwerehammock 1 nt mo tried ot eeskt last tbhee d pi week novel river,ov e experiments isio.yrdt e 0. °v‘o'rersin andattrcsl!eo buoyancy n o e l v c ( ),f r a yet of importance to neut . 1 p y simple construction, ps, and intended for lea - eople of the pnserva and passengers in shy tion of lives at sea in cases shipwreck.

The public sales held since our last have been better attended, and the biddings have ruled firm, at a trifling improvement on late figures. Still, however, the actual quantity disposed of has not been large. The imports have consisted of only about 600 bales from Russia, 200 from Germany, and 300 from other quarters. In the private contract market very little is doing, at barely stationary prices. TALLOW.

HOPS AND BATS.—WRIGHT V. HUAIPHREY. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for injury sustained by several bags of hops by rats. Mr. Baron Parke tried the case at Maidstone, and the jury r e t urne d a ver di ct for the plaintiff,—damages, 1301. It appeared by the declaration that the defendant, who is a warehouseman, had undertaken to warehouse and safely deliver over to the plaintiff a quantity of hops, which wer e ass i gne d to h i s care. They were handed over, but it was found that a number of rats and mice had played sad havoc with them while under defendant's care. It therefore became a question for the decision of the jury, whether the mice had or had not got into the hops before they were consigned to the custody of the defendant ; such a thing, it appeared not being uncommon. A witness at the trial deposed that he weekly turned over the hops, and that every care, by having cats and traps, was taken to entrap mice and rats, showing that every care had been taken of the hops. But a witness, who was rather prone to exaggerate, deposed that he slept in the warehouse, and could not say that proper care was taken of the hops, as rats came forth in shoals and traversed his prostrate body, and on one occasion he awoke and found a rat's tail in his mouth, which in his precipitation he bit off and swallowed.— (Laughter.) Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS moved for a rule nisi, , on the ground of misdirection, and that the verdict was against the evidence. The COURT deferred its decision until the Learned Judge had been consulted. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY, EXCHEQUER. —(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) BURNSIDE V. DAYRELL. This action was tried before the Lord Chief Baron during the sittings in London after last term, when the verdict passed for the plaintiff; with 421. damages. Mr. CROWDEE, pursuant to leave reserved to the defendant at the trial, now moved for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered. The defendant was sued as chairman of the provisional committee of the projected Direct Manchester, Leeds, and York Railway, for the recovery of a sum of money paid by the plaintiff as deposits on a number of shares applied for by and allotted to him, in that scheme. The scheme was abandoned, and at the trial of the cause it appeared that the defendant never acted on behalf of the concern subsequent to thin allotment, but had attended one meeting only, at which he protested against the whole of the proceed ings. He had, however, imprudently allowed his name to stand in the prospectus as chairman of the committees. The question now concerned in the case was simply as to the party with whom the con tract was made. On that point the evidence was, that applications for allotments were sent in to the pro visional committee, but that the managing committee finally made the allotment. The Learned Counsel thereupon contended that there was no contract with his client, as he was not a member of the managing committee. The argument on the other side was, that the contract was made with the whole body of members, and delivered to the plaintiff by their secretary, whose evidence was rejected. The LORD CHIEF BARON said, he was of opinion that the secretary's evidence was inadmissible, unless it was supported by the authority of the Board in the several matters it referred to. He thought, there fore, that there should be a rule nisi. Mr. MARTIN afterwards moved for a new trial, on the ground of the rejection of the secretary's ev. dente, After a long discussion, in which it was endea voured to bring the cross rule before the Court, at the same time as the rule for the nonsuit, by engrafting it upon the latter, it was finally arranged that the defendant should take a rule nisi for a nonsuit ; and that, in the event of its being made absolute, the plaintiff might take a rule nisi for a new trial. Rule nisi accordingly. POTEZ V. GLOSSOP. In this case Mr. Cocxnuurr moved for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of 1001., on the ground of improper rejection of evi dence, and misdirection of the Learned Judge who tried the case. The action was heard before the Lord Chief Baron at the Middlesex sittings, and was one an assumpsit upon two hills of exchange for the sum of 250/., pay. able four months after date, and bearing date Aug. 29, 1846. The facts of the case, as shown by the evidence upon the trial, were the following :—A person of the name of Gardiner was in the habit of carrying on business as a bill-discounter, under the name of Rutter and Co. The place of business occupied by him was in Pludyer-street, at premises for which he paid a certain sum for the use of during the day. Advertisements were inserted in the news yapers by Gardiner, offering to advance money in sums not exceeding 2,000/. upon personal security at very moderate interest. The defendant was a clergyman, and was induced in consequence of these advertisements to apply for money upon the terms stated. A correspondence ensued upon the subject, and subsequently the two bills of exchange which form the subject of this action were ac cepted by the defendant and given to Gardiner Repeated applications were made for the money, to be advanced upon the bills, but was repeatedly put off. On the 11th of September a person of the name of Coyle obtained the sum of 1001. upon one of those bills from another person of the name of Gadderer, who, subsequently, took the bills to a Laurence Levy, who discounted them. A person of the name of Jones shortly after obtained possessiun of the bills. The action was brought by a Miss Pottx, for the purpose of recovering from the defendant, the acceptor of the bill, the sum of 500/., which she stated she had advanced to Gadderer for the same. The name of Miss Potez did not, however, appear upon either of the bills. A verdict passed at the trial for the plaintiff for the sum of 1001. On the part of the defendant a large number of pleas were placed upon the record, averring that the bills were obtained by him through fraud and covin, and that the plaintiff had knowledge of the same, and certain letters were proposed to be put in from GardinerGa rd ne r t w o a s G l a o w s s a o r p e , n w f i t t h h e a y n v r i e p w n s e o ffashowingh thatthe acceptances had been given. The LOND CPIEF BARON refused to receive them as evidence, and it was now contended that in so ruling, his Lordship had improperly rejected impor- f tent evidence, an d upon this ground the verdict ought I to be set aside. The COURT granted a rule upon this ground, con- HERAUD V. LEAF. In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Coltman, and in which the verdict was for defendant, Mr. Sergeant SHEE moved for a rule for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, and also that the verdict was against evidence. This action was brought to recover the sum of 1121. 19s. for literary articles, supplied to The Foreign, Colonial, or New Quarterly Review, of which the defendant was a proprietor. It appeared that it was originally started in March, 1843, and that certain resolutions were agreed to respecting the mode in which it should be conducted. One of them was that Dr. Worthington should be appointed editor, and that a committee of six proprie tors should be formed to assist him in promoting the circulation of the work, and obtaining as far as pos sible, without expense, literary contributions for it, but not to interfere with the editorial departme nt. Mr. Powell, one of the committee, introduced the plaintiff to Dr. Worthington, as a contributor, and several articl es wr i tten by him were inserted,' for which he was paid at the rate of 81. per sheet. Sub sequently, however, he wrote an article an the philosophy of Descartes, which did not accord with the sentiments of the editor, and it was refused, with an intimation that no articles from the same writer ;would be published in the Review. The plaintiff, however, continued to write, and handed his papers to Mr. Powell, and they were inserted as usual, and the present action was brought to recover the amout due from him. The principal question upon which he based his application was as to whether the articles were supplied gratuitously. Mr. Powell stated at the trial, on the part of the plaintiff, that the contributions were received, and understanding that they were to be paid for. Dr. Worthington, on the other hand, stated that his im pression was that they were supplied gratuitously by Mr. Powell, and that he did not know that they were the productions of the plaintiff, otherwise he should not have admitted them. The Judge, in summing up, left it for the jury to say—first, whether they believed the articles were supplied gratuitously ; and second, whether the name of the author had been fraudulently concaaled from the editor, and if he would have rejected them had he known that they were Mr. Heraud's The jury then asked whether any proprietor could contract for articles without the consent of the editor, to which the Judge replied in the negative. The Learned Sergeant new argued that the words in the resoluaion, to the effect that the committee should, " as far as possible endeavour to obtain articles gratuitously," gave Mr. Powell an authority to contract for articles to be paid for. He also argued that Mr. Heraud was not liable for any concealment on the part of Mr. Powell, in not making the writer's name known. The editor had received the articles, and carefully considered and altered them previous to publication , and he submitt e d th a t a ll t h e proprietors were liabl e for the amount due to the plaintiff, at the rate of 81. per sheet. The Court, after considerable deliberation, deferred their decision until to-morrow.

PEARCE.---The sudden death of Mr. Pearce, the Chairman of the Stock Ex change Committee, w as made known in the City on Saturay. The respect in which he was held is shown by the following communication from the committee to the general members on the subject :—" The committee have to perform the very painful duty of communicat ing to the house the melancholy and sudden decease of their esteemed chairman, Mr. Charles Thomas Pearce, who died this morning, after an illness of two days only. In making this most distressing announcement, the committee feel assured that every member of the house will deeply sympathize with the bereaved family of their departed friend, and will bear testimony to the upright and dignified feelings by which that excellent man was pre-eminently distinguished, and which tended so effectually to elevate and sustain the character of the Stock Exchange." THE ROYAL STA GHOUNDS.—The " meets" during the past week (with the exception of the " opening day") have not proved of so sporting a character as usual, the dense fog which prevailed on Wednesday, and the nature of the country hunted over on Friday, tending to this result. On Wednesday the meet was at Twyford Sta tion, but, in consequence of the thick fog, the field was more than usually select. The deer, which was not disposed to take away, was secured near the village of Shiplake, after a ringing run of more than an h our . Another select fi e ld assembled at the Woking Station on Friday. The deer, upon being uncarted, made away towards Woking, leaving the village to the left, on to Byfleet, and thence in the direction of Weybridge and Oatlands, when it doubled to the right to East Moulsey, and was taken, after a run of nearly three hours, between that village and Esher. The line of country gone over was so intersect e d b y wide streams and deep ditches filled with water, that the field was well weeded long before the finish. Several spills took place, and " duck ings" to a great extent were the order of the day. The plan of giving publicity to the Wednesday's meets, which had been discontinued during the past two seasons, it is expected will.be again revived by order of the Mas ter of the Buckhounds, highly to the satisfaction of the gentlemen who regularly attend the hunt. Earl Gran ville has taken a house at Fern Hill, a short distance from the kennel, where his Lordship will reside during the season.

INCENDIAR Y Finn.---13sisTon, Nov. 6.—Consi derable al arm h as b een c reated by the occur rence of a fire on th e f arm o f M r . J o nes, at Hambrook, Glouces tershire (about six miles distant from this city), which is evidently the work of some daring incendiary. The intelligence of the occurrence was brought into Bristol received by a horse ex p ress at b etween one and two thi s morn ing, but pr ev i ous l y to t h at t h e police had bee n a l arme d by the illuminated here ethe fire-engines startee.eonfgtihnees of several of th e fire a tmosphere on th e north . east side of the city. A s s oon as the intelligence w a s offices were honed and dispatched to the scene of the conflagration. On arriving there the firemen found two valuable corn stacks in flames. By the exertions of the firemen and police the conflagration was got under without further injury. That the ignition of the ricks was neither spontaneous nor accidental is too evident, from the fact that an old man employed upon the farm found traces of a train of gunpowder communicating with the rick, which had the appearance of being re cently fired. The police authorities are actively engaged in endeavouring to trace out the incendiaries. limuLY IMPORTANT.-Mr. Drummond, nephew of Lord Auckland, has been appointed extra clerk in the Admiralty, Whitehall.—Observer, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
