Count Govane, a Sardinian etat major, has also arrived at Con stantinople with a view to visit Schumla, in the event of It is inferred from the latest accounts that the Porte is far from being disposed to fall in with the negotiations. Dissatisfaction with the dilatory - conduct of the English Government is believed to prevail in Turkey. A rumour, not the first of its kind, was afloat that Lord Stratford shared the feeling himself, and desired to resign. MauniTrus.—By the Harbinger we have dates from Mauritius to the 21st of June. The sugar crop hid been almost entirely shipped. The quantity gone forward had reached 156,000,000 lbs., being 28,000,000 lbs. more than that shipped at the same period last year. 'There were still upwards of 4,000,000 lbs. to be shipped, which were chiefly syrup sugars and " vesou " of inferior quality. No material change had taken place in the prices of the principal articles of consumption since the departure of the Queen of the South. The commercial intelligence from the Australian colonies had caused great activity in the Mauritius markets for provisions and spirits. ions ; and the rnE the steamer Parana, we have ad vices from Valparaiso to the Ist of July, and Callao, July 11. Chili was trangml and prosperous. The minister of finance had presented his report to the chambers, showing an increase in the revenue of 1852 over 1851 of 81,173,572. The President of the Republic delivered his annual message on the Ist of June, which gave an excel proportion I lent synopsis of the rapid progress of the country. The news from Peru is interesting.

Fifth, the seizure of Cobija by Peru, thus cutting off all communication between Bolivia, and the Pacific, Cobija being the only port of that govern ment. This event has not, however, in any way inter rapted the trade of Cobija, nor has the. communication with the interior been placed under any restriction, the only difference at present being a change from Bolivian to Peruvian authorities. General Belzu has issued a decree ordering preparations for war, declaring an abso lute interdiction on all commercial traffic between Peru and Bolivia, and ordering all goods in transitu between one country and the other to be seized. From Panama there is nothing of interest. Dates from Congress had adjourned several important - laws—among Others, that regarding free voting Cd I'D Or GOOD HOPE.—By the steamer Harbing have advices from the Cape to the 7th of July. The go vernor is still on the frontier, completing his arrangements for defence and the improvement or internal order and obedience to the laws. In a minute addressed to the legislative council, he speaks of the probable success of his measures, and of their certain success if the colonists per- form their part of the work faithfully and eheerftilly. The constitution was legally promulgated on the Ist day of July, and several clear directions were issued by go vernment to the future constituencies on the subject of registration. The Frontier Times contains the following communi cation :—Rebels are about the Koenap. They stole four horses belonging to Mr. Naude, the carcases of three of which have been found. The rebels were fired on and a revolver taken from them by Wynne's police, since which five more have been taken from the late Mr. Norton's place, one of which belonged to Mr. Staunton, jun. Five of the fattest annear to have been taken. I cannot under- stand this horse slaughtering. There must be a motive, as they have plenty of opportunities of getting fat cattle. Seven oxen also have been taken from Mr. Tharatt, at Mildenhall's, which were followed by Wynne's police, along with the spoor of the rebels. Niland's kraal has also been broken open and some cattle stolen. AusTEALIA.—The General Screw Steam-shipping. Com pany's ship Harbinger, Captain Lane, arrived at South ampton, on Thursday, from Australia. Her dates are Sydney, May 12 ; Port Phillip, May 22 ; Mauritius, June 21; Algoa Bay, July 3 ; Table Bay, July 7. She brought on freight gold dust and bars weighing 130,000 ounces, and of the estimated value of £520,000 sterling; besides this, many of the passengers have various quantities, the, value of which probably amounts to from £30,000 to £40,000 more. The Harbinger brought one of the largest mails ever known from the colonies ; but her advices from Australia have been partially anticipated by the overland mail. The Legislative Council of New South Wales had commenced its session. The Governor-General's address communicated the consent of the home government to cer tain of the demands of the colonists, contained in their landed at Port Phillip. Melbotirne was overcrowded, and many of the new arrivals were in a 1,000 immigrants we distressing condition, Apprehensions were felt for the health of the city AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA By the British and North American Royal. Mail Steam- Ship Asia, Captain Lott, we have advises from New York to the 10th instant. The Asia sailed from New York at 10 35, p.m., on the 10th, and at 1 35, p.m., passed the American ships Consti tution and Victoria, from this port, going into New York.

On the 16th, at 8 20, a.m., passed the United States steamer Pacific, hence for New York ; same day passed the ship Britannia, bound west. The Asia passed Cape Clear, at 5 45, a.m., on the 20th, and saluted the Rock Light at 4 47, a.m., on Sunday, having mad the run in 10 days 11 hours and 16 minutes. The Asia has brought 84 passengers and $491,200 in specie on freight. The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Com stock, arrived at New York, from this port, on the 7th inst. The yellow fever at New Orleans was gradually decreas ing in virulence. The opening of the North American and European Railroad is to be celebrated on the 14th of September. A great fight had occurred on the Western Plains between the Indian tribes. According to the re port, the Sioux and Cheyens had been nearly " rubbed out." The new packet-ship Star of Empire had arrived at Boston, from Liverpool, with upwards of nine hundred passengers. During the voyage the surgeon and two pas sengers died. Advices had been received from Surinam to the 16th July, which state that all the slaves were about to be liberated and replaced by Chinese coolies. The returns of the elections recently held in some of the Southern States are very meagre. With regard to the general result in Tennessee en oug h was known to warrant the belief that a Democratic governor had been chosen, but that the Whigs would have a majority on joint ballot in the Legislature. In Alabama there ap peared to have been a slight change in favour of the Whigs, so far as concerned the Congressional delegation. In North Carolina Mr. Outlaw, late Whig Congressman , had been defeated by Mr. Shaw, a Democrat. The Ken tucky delegation was supposed to be very equally divided. A frightful accident had occurred on the Camden and Amboy Railroad. The trains which left New York and Philadelphia, simultaneously, came in collision some ten miles beyond Amboy. The crash was so violent as to cause the instant death of several persons, two of them females. A large number of the other passengers were very seriously injured, and one of them shortly after died. The New York train was reported to have been running out of time. The Star of the West had arrived at New York with advices from San Francisco to the 16th ult. and upwards of $1,000,000 on freight and in the hands of passengers. The John L. Stevens had sailed for Panama with $1,488,852 on freight. The old mines continued to yield their usual amount of gold, and new mines were continu ally presenting themselves to prospecting parties. Agri culturists were also doing well. The towns of Ophir and French Corrall had been destroyed by fire. Overland emigrants arriving at San Francisco gave horrid accounts of the difficulties and sufferings endured. Among the domestic incidents of the times in California the marriage of the celebrated Lola Montes will attract the most atten tion. This distinguished lady again united herself in the bonds of wedlock on the Ist of July, the happy young man being Mr. Patrick Purdy Hull, formerly of Ohio, and for the past four years engaged in the newspaper business in San Francisco. Mr. Hull was a fellow-passenger with the countess on her journey to California, and the acquaintance then formed fast ripened into an attachment. The bri.e and groom have since visited Sacramento, and are now in domestic retirement in San Francisco. Intelligence had been received at Washington, from the fishing grounds, annouli ring the arrival there of fifteen or twenty United States Lolling vessels, completely armed, the crews of which were determined to fight if interfered with by the British cruizers. rilieral7llas a startling announcement upon the fisheries question. It is asserted that while the colonial and Yankee fishermen have been wrangling con cerning their alleged rights, and calling upon their re spective governments to protect them, the real owner of the entire ground in dispute, Lord Stirling, has quietly remained in the background and enjoyed the sport. The Royal charters upon which Lord Stirling bases his claim were recognised and confirmed by act of parliament in the time of Charles 1.,-over 220 years ago , and give to him the complete right to fish within six leagues of the shore. Lord Stirling is now in Washington, making arrange ments with a company of influential American gentlemen for the prosecution of his claim. By telegraph from Boston a few items of interest from the fishing regions have been received. Mackerel are re ported to be so scarce as to have caused several of the Cape Cod vessels to give up the business and go home. The British naval officers, though very civil, still keep a sharp eye on the Yankees. -- COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, AUGUST 10. MONEY.—During the past few days a sudden and material change has taken place in the supply of and value of money. A system of curtailment has been adopted by the banks in • this city, and a large amount of demand loans, on stock collaterals, have heen called in. The chief causes of the existing stringency are the continued heavy importations. Interest for loans "on call " has advanced to 7 per cent., and on speculatiye securities much higher rates are paid. Discount of leading paper ranges from 9 to 12 per cent. The exports of gold during the fortnight are $1,563,552.

BREADSTUFFS.—An advance of Vic. per bbl. on flour was realised on the receipt of the Liverpool advices, per Niagara, to the 23rd ult. The accounts, per Baltic, to the 27th July, announcing a more quiet feeling, combined with a severe pressure on the money market here, and the advancing rates of freight, have checked the upward ten dency, and some portion of the advance above quoted has been lost. Wheat has again advanced to the extent of 4 cents per bushel. In Indian corn the improVement in price amounts to only 1 cent.•per bushel. PROVISIONS.—Pork is inactive at $15,50 to $15,624 for mess, and $12,75 to $l2, 874 for prime. Lard, in barrels, is in moderate request at 104 c. to 11c.

Tile prisoner pleaded not guilty, and during her trial appeared perfectly calm and collected. The facts of the case have already been published im our columns. The husband of the prisoner was a brewer, and lived with his family in Rigby-street. On the night previous to the morning of the occurrence, (Thursday, the 4th instant,) the child was sleeping with its father• and mother, and in the middle of the night the prisoner called her husband up, and com plained of being ill, saying she was dying. A. woman, named Kenyon, who lodged in the house, was, called to the prisoner's assistance, when she (prisoner) repeated that she was dying, and that the baby was lying dead beside her. That was, however, a delusion, the baby being at the time in bed, perfectly well. Mrs. Kenyon repre sented to the prisoner the absurdity of the notion which possessed her mind, and administered to her a little brandy, after which she seemed better. On being again put to bed, the prisoner s l e pt th e grea t er p ar t o f the night, and in the morning her husband got up and left I her. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Kenyon was alarmed by the cries of the prisoner's children, and immediately rushed up stairs, when she saw the prisoner with a knife in her hand. She said, " I have done it ; the child will be no more hungered." The deceased had a large gash in the throat, and appeared to be dead. Mrs. Kenyon got hold of the prisoner, and restrained her from further violence until assistance arrived, and she was then secured, and given into custody. She again repeated that she had done it ; that Mrs. Kenyon and some others instigated her to the act, and that one of them had sharpened the knife for her. The prisoner was taken to the Northern Hospital, when a surgeon belonging to the establishment pronounced her to be of unsound mind. She had previously been attacked in a similar way on the birth of one of her chil dren, and was for some time out of her mind. Several witnesses bore out the statements. Mr. Thorburn, sur geon, who examined the prisoner immediately after the occurrence, expressed his confident opinion that she was in an unsound state of mind; he added, that one of her relatives committed suicide under similar circumstances some time ago. The Judge briefly recapitulated the facts of the case, observing that the occurrence was a painful one ; but the only question for the jury would be whether, when the prisoner committed the act, she was in such a state of mind as to be accountable for her conduct. The jury immediately acquitted the prisoner, on the ground of insanity. She was detained in custody, to be disposed of according to her Majesty's pleasure. MURDERING A SAILOR AT LIVERPOOL.—Susan Camp bell, aged 22, was indicted for the murder of Wm. Good fen, a sailor, at Liverpool, on the 12th of July last. The deceased was a sailor, and on the night of the occurrence he went to a- spirit-vaults in Pall Mall. He was in com pany with two other men, all being at the time sober. After remaining about an hour, the prisoner came into the house, she being in a state of intoxication. She came up to where the deceased was, and asked him for a glass of ale, which he refused to give, saying he did not wish to have anything to do with her. The prisoner behaved in a vio lent manner, used ill language, upon which the deceased gave her a slight slap in t he face with the back of his hand. Nothing further took place at that time, and eht prisoner did not resent the deceased's conduct, Shortly SATURDAY., _ . STATIZINO AT L/VERPOOL.—ratriok Livingston, for having stabbed Denis Carroll, au officer of the Liverpool police, a few weeks ago, at a disturbance in the neigh bourhood of Mary bone, was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years' transportation.

He suc ceeded in escaping by the aid of two policemen, who con veyed him to a surgeon, who dressed his wounds. He was confined to his bed for a week from the injuries he sus tained. Royle and Hill were found guilty, and Coyle was acquitted. His Lordship ordered Royle and Hill to be liberated on giving their recognizances to appear for judgment when called upon. This case ended the criminal business of the assize, and his Lordship proceeded to try a common jury ease, " Wills v. Wallace," which resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff.

Several witnesses were examined to show that the prisoner is and was quite in sane ; and that among other delusions under which he labours is one that he is a relation of the late King Wil liam IV. ; and that he is very shortly to become possessed of considerable property.—A verdict of acquittal was re turned, on the ground of insanity; and the prisoner was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure.

WRIGRT.—This was an action for an AUGUST 16 plaintiff; and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Tomlinson for the defendant.—lt appeared that at the latter end of last May die plaintiff, a commsrcial traveller, was drink ing at night in a public-house called the Wel' Manchester, when the defen entered with some dogs as• Mr. Justice The plaintikaddressed him immediat Erle observe& to the jury, "civilly, for hii class him familiarly,- "Will yOu have glitss with me, shall I with you ?" to which invitation the defendant gave " a most distinct and definite notice to the plaintiff that he did not wish to join company with him," by replying, " he would see him d—d first." The plaintiff immediately rejoined, " Quite' right." A match at " trotting" then commenced, or as another witness called it ""chaffing," the plaintiff remarking that " the defendant's dogs were very valuable dogs, worth £50," and asking, " what he would sell them for," and a great many " disrespectful words" passed between the plaintiff and the defendant, finishing with a declitration by the plaintiff that "the de fendant was far too\ clever to die a natural death." At tbis time the dogs growled, or had been made to do , so, and die company complained of them as a nuisance, and called to have lhein tunled out. An attorney's clerk out of em ployment, named Haudforth, iyho was present, then made some observation that "the defendant was a pretty fellow to be growled at by his own dogs," and the defendant, provoked, pushed him down on a chair, and seized him by the leg to upset him,. and, getting hold of his boot, it came off in the defendant's hand. The plaintiff cried out; "For God's sake don't strike him, he's a cripple;" the defendant immediately swung the boot round, and said; "Then I will strike you," striking at the plaintiff with the boot, the heel' of which struck the plaintiff a violent blow on the temple, cutting it, and nearly render ing him insensible. The wound bled considerably, and the praintiff's nervous system received a severe shoeic.—For the defence, Mr. Serjeaut Wilkins cross-examined the plaintiff, endeavouring to show that he was given to dram thinking, and that his nervous system had reeelied its " shock" from that. In the course of his cross-examina tion, the plaintiff, in an impudent manner, said he had chunk wine at Dick's Coffee-house with the learned ser jeant—not at the serjeant's expense, but sitting:in the same.box with him. This-the learned serjeant denied; and said the plaintiff was one of that style of men who seemed to live only to work mischief. It was his indulgence in thii spirit which had brought' on this pot-house row, and he celled on the jury to mark their sense of his conduct by the amount of damages . which they gave.—His lordship Having summed up, the jury found a verdict for the plain #ff—damages is. DAVIS v. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAIHITA:Y.— In this case the plaintiff applied for damages for injuries sustaind by a collision which. took place at the Bootle lane station, on the 26th July last ; and, after the Attorney general had stated the particulars at some length, the case was settled, a verdict having Veen taken for £350. BnLTON (ASSIGNEE, BRADBURY.—Owing to the alisence of the witnesses in this case, the plaintiff was non-suited. MsBTIN AND ANOTHER (ASSIGNEES) v. LAWTON.—Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Monkappeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Knowles and Mr Cobbett for the defence. The action was brought to recover a sum of £220, held by the defendant, and which, it , was alleged, belonged to the estate of a Mr. Holland, commission agent, of Manchester, for which.the plaintiffs were the assignees. A great deal of evidence was adduced, some of which was exceedingly contradictory ; and the Judge, in summing up,. said that on one side or the other there had been wilful artifice and forethought in framing a story, and then coming into court and swearing to itt. The jury, after an. absence of two hours from court, returned with a verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed, namely, damages, £220; costs, 40s. WEDNESDAY. CORRIGAN v. ST. TIBLENEI CANAL AND RA/LWAY COM BANT.—The plaintiff in this case was a labouring man, 44 years of age, with a wife and family, who claimed com pensation for having his arm crushed by an engine belonging to the defendants, as alleged, through the care lessness of their servants. The railway of the defendants is a branch running from the main line, called the Gerard's-bridge branch, about a mile from St. Helens. There is a single line of rails over the branch, which is worked exclusively for goods supplied by the neighbouring works. About a mile and a half from the main line a shunt, called Evans's, runs out of the branch, and upon this there is a very sharp curve and a great deal of traffic. On the 14th of December the plaintiff,, who was in the employ of Mr. Evans, was pushing up some waggons to the curve, and whilst so employed an engine belonging to the company, and driven by one of its servants, ran up this shunt at a rapid pace, struck the waggons which plaintiff was pushing, and the result was, that the plain tiff's arm was- crushed and broken between the waggons. For the defendants it was contended, that this was an accident, and that it was in a great measure caused by the negligence of the plaintiff himself; and witnesses were called. to prove that the driver sounded his whistle three or four. times ; and that it was the plaintiff's own care lessness that he did not get out of the. way.—Mr. Serjeant Wallas having replied on this evidence, his Lordship summed up, leaving it to the jury to say on which set of witnesses they relied. If they believed the plaintars wit nesses they must give the plaintiff such compensation as in their judgment was in some degree adequate to the loss he had sustained by being rendered incapable in future to earn his living.—The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff,. damages, £l7O. SOUTHERN v. HmA Tox..—This was an action of ejection to recover possession of part of a house at Aspull, near Wigan. It was to determine whether a kitchen was a 'part of a house. The plaintiff was a hand-loom weaver, and the defendant a man of eccentric habits and consi derable wealth. When the notice of action was given, the defendant gave up all claim to the house except to the kitchen part, to which he had a right. The house in question is situated at Morris's-fold, Aspull, near.Wigan, and is one of six houses built by a man named Morris, and devised separately to his different children. To his daughter Ellen he devised the house in which John Win stanley lived (the house in question), and to a second daughter he devised the house in which he himself lived. The plaintiff, who was a son of Ellen, claimed the kitchen as belonging to the house devised to his mother, whilst the defendant alleged it was the house occupied by Morris, and devised to another of his daughters, from whom he purchased it. The question for the jury to decide was, to which house the kitchen in question originally be. longed. It was also alleged that the defendant had pur chased the kitchen in question from the father of the plaintiff and his brother William, who was proved to have been born before the marriage of Ellen with plaintiff's father, consequently the purchase was not valid. Under the direction of his Lordship, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. CHAPLAIN, Exon. v. LEVY.—The plaintiff sued the defendant on a bill of exchange for a sum of £32. The plaintiff, Mr. Chaplin, was executor under the will of Jas. Hannan, and the defendant was Daniel Levy, who pleaded that he had never accepted the bill. After the bill became due, a letter was written to the defendant, asking him for payment. To this he replied that he had to see the drawer of the bill, Mr. Holme, and that after wards his request would be complied with. After this the defendant's attorney made this admission : " Chaplin v. Levy. I hereby admit that the acceptance of the bill of exchange on which this action is brougbt is in the hand , writing of the defendant. Henry Bradden, July 26th, 1853.' This, it was contended, was a proof of the accept ance of the bill by the defendant. After some discussion between his lordship and the learned counsel on both I sides, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, for the amount claimed. BARBER v. DA.WSON.—Benjamin Barber, the plaintiff, was a gardener and nurseryman at Walter Clough, near Halifax, and the defendant is Arthur Dawson, of Walter Clough-hall, and the owner of the ground occupied by the plaintiff. The action was brought to recover a sum of £l5O, which the plaintiff alleged he was entitled to re ceive from the defendant as the amount of a valuation in which the defendant refused by his valuer to concur as to the Yalue Qt certain Pmts, fic., which the Pktutiif non-suited ACTION a merchant t rose at six. c THURSDAY shipowner in ie Zuleika, 142 The vessel hac s time Mr. Clancey s requested by the defendant to to :Melbourne ure him a Mr. Clances he Daunt to char her to the defendant ) Australia.

Mr. Hughan lost the elec tion, but ho.ought, said the learned counsel, to have paid his agent. Application was again made for payment to the defendant; but the plaintiff not tieing able to obtain anything, tha. present action was brought. There were ninety-four registered electors in the borough, and ten agents were employed, one of whom, named Laffan, having two brothers Roman Catholic priests, hadlreceived £7O as his share of £874 6s. ld. which the election had cost the defendant.— :verdict was returned for thmplaintiff. r:.

CIIATT:LE. — This was an action in which Charles Bigham Paris sought to reeover compensation in damages for the breach of an advantageous engagement into which the defendant, Fre derick Chapple, had , entered with him, and which the defendant, without sufficient and reasonable cause, had broken. The plaintiff, the son of Dr. Paris, a physician of eminence in London, and an author of several literary works, who was now about thirty years of age, at eighteen, having completed his , education in Germany, was appren ticed to Mr. Mongredien, a merchant, carrying on a. large business in Liverpool. He entered this gentleman's office He remained five:years with Mr. nominal salary Mongredien, and he - then entered into bnsiness a=ka ship owner, on his own account, and afterwards, for a year and a half, with a Mr. Prieoe: At the end of this period he made an arrangement with the defendant, Mr. Chapple, who carried on business under the title of " Viannai.do and Chapple " preseni to avail himself. Ai 3rd of September, h es of which he was glad ti into on the which it was contracted that the nent was ent service of the defendant, as Manager and clerk for a period of seven years; and should devote, under the defendant's superintendence anddirec tions, his best attentiowth the conducting of the business and the house, and thatthe defendant should pay for his services a salary commencing at not less than £2OO, gra dually increasing until, at.the end of the seventh year, it should not be less than E4OO. This was a minimum salary, and there was an understanding that, if the profits of the house increased considerably, there was to be a risein the salary, and, eventually, a partnership to be established. The plaintiff, on these terms, entered into the service of the defendant. The plaintiff had devoted a good deal of time to the subject of correspondence, and was, conse quently, extremely well. able to conduct correspondence. The plaintiff entered into the service of the defendant on the let of January, in this year, and left on the 12th of. May following. Very early in the course of the engage ment the defendant had shown uneasiness for having entered into the engagement, and ultimately intimated that the plaintiff might leave, and on the 12th of. May, peremptorily ordered his discharge. After a conversation the plaintiff retired to the clerks' office, where he was followed by Mr. Chap*, who roughly placed his-hands on his shoulders, and said, " Get out of this." The plain tiff refused to go out,. under the circumstances, and the defendant sent for police-officer, who refused. to take him (plaintiff) into custody. The plaintiff went away, and had not since.- returned. On the following day he received a letter from the attorneys of the defendant.. The letter requested'the plaintiff not again to cal Lat the office of the defendant, but to consult his attorney, also stating that the plaintiff had shown himself to be incom petent to discharge the duties of managing -clerk, and that, therefore, the defendant had put an end to his engage ment. It was attempted to be shown that the plaintiff was incompetent for his duties, and was discourteous to the defendant, and also to his fellow-clerks. After two witnesses had been called, intimation was given that an arrangement had been come to. The pleas of incompe tency were withdrawn, and a special verdict taken for the plaintiff, damages £3OO. His lordship said he thought this litigation would end in mutual respect.. The differ ence had really arisen from a misfortune with respect to temper. The termination of the case was meat satisfactory. MORGAN. .AND ANOTHER (ASSIGNEES) V., MARQUIS AND Anna:lnit.—The plaintiffs are assignees to the estate of W. J. Perrin, a bankrupt, and the defendants are Messrs. Marquis and Baxter, commission merchants, Liverpool;; and the action was brought to recover the sum of £900„ being the balance of the valae of aopoo bags of flour bought by the defendant for Mn. Perrin, the bank rupt. Mr.. Perrin, before his bankraptcy, was a member of the firm of Moore, Wood, Brothers, and Co., and speculated to a considerable extent on his own account, on shares in flour. In March, 1852, he employed the de fendants to purchase a quantity of flour for him. He shortly afterwards absconded, and the defendants re-sold the flour, and deducted the amount of their account, leaving a small balance for the creditors of Perrin. The assignees sought to recover this amount, and a collateral issue was raised that the transaction was a partnership one between the defendants, Mr. Perrin and Mr. Shute, and that Mr. Shute should have been included in the action, and that the flour having been sold on the partner ship account, the plaintiffs could not recover. Verdict for the defendants. BBAuGH AND ANoTnEit (E.TECUTOES) HORSMAN.— This was an action brought by plaintiffs, the executors of Edward Horsman, to recover a sum of £5OO from Mr. John Horsman, the brother of testator. After the case had been partly opened, a verdict was taken by consent for the plaintiff, subject to a reference. KEAY v. NICHOLS.."—The plaintiff, Philip Henry Keay, a coal merchant, residing at Eggbridge, near Chester, sought to recover a sum of £4O from the defendant, Joseph Nichols, a carrier, at Gaspel Oak, in the county of Staf ford, for injury done to a flat belonging to the plaintiff by a collision with a fiat of the defendant's, occasioned by the neglect of the defendant's servants. On the 15th of June, the plaintifrs fiat, the Morning Star, laden with slack, ar rived at what is called the Chemistry Lock, and whilst there two boats came out that were in the lock. The plaintiff's boat was on the proper side of the canal, at a distance of about two yards from the bank, and there were ten or twelve yards between her and the opposite bank. The first boat came out of the lock and passed the plain tiffs boat without touching her. The second boat, belong ing to the defendant, followed at the distance of about one hundred yards, and when she came out there was no one on - board of her. A boy who was standing on the bank jumped on board, but, instead of going to the tiller, he stood on the cabin, - and the consequence was that the de fendant's boat struck the plaintiff flat on the starboard bow so violently that it took three horses to extricate them. The plaintiff's boat sunk, whereby a great portion of the slack was lost, and the rest damaged ; and the action was brought to recover damages for the loss sustained. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages, £l5 10s. WILCOX AND ANOT .

ACTION ON A ROND.—TIIE GUARDIANS OF THE POOR OF STOKESLEY V.
