This is adding insult to iniurim Al been disek Was i not sufficient to dismiss the offending dock gat health of ihe city man, without expecting that he should pay respect to those who deprived him of his twenty-one shil- ags a week ? FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FIIANCE.—The Fate / Mn Monday, in a style of previous shows with which celebrated in Paris, the tastes of his Parisian subjects. The garden of the Tuileries, the Place de la Concorde, and the Champs Ely sees, were made like fairy land, by the judicious display of a million of lamps, electric lights, and lustres. Boat races took place on the Seine and at Bercy, 150,000 troops de filed before the Emperor and his court in the noble square which fronts the ancient palace of the Bourbons, while the equestrian artistes of the Hippodrome and the Cirque Napoleon appeared in two spectacles in the Champs de Mars, ‘namely, " The Field of the Cloth of Gold" and a The Siege of Lahout." Madame Saqui, though seventy six years of age, danced with incredible agility on the tightrope, and M. Binslay performed a variety of feats in his enchanted ball. In the evening the theatres were thrown open gratuitonsly to the public. The rumoured approaching marriage of Prince Napo leon with a daughter of Queen Christina, which has been repeatedly contradicted, may now be looked upon as quite a settled thing. The attentions of the Prince to the young lady, at the Fgte, were very marked. The settle ments _are already in course of discussion, and Marshal _Jerome will shortly pay a visit to Queen Christiana at Havre - to make a formal demand of her daughter's hand. GREECE.—The Athens journals announce that the Chamber of Deputies has passed a law prohibiting the exPortation of corn during 1853, and giving authority to the King to prolong the prohibition by Royal decree. The new law also abolishes the sliding scale, and establishes a fixed duty upon imports of corn. S 'BDElc.—A letter from Stockholm, of August 8, says : Yesterday the Chamber of Commerce declared Ham burgh,. Altona, Dantsic, and Archangel infected with cholera, and all the ports of the White Sea, and those on the north of Germany suspected. The cholera has burst out at Cariscroon, and there have been isolated cases in several other places." AITSTRIA.—The conference of the representatives of the four Powers continues sitting at Vienna. The German papers say they are now considering the question of foreign refugees hi , T ur k ey. where several membersThoef Emperor e Pe lppil rer er hs. a fssamil set out f e in o s r ta l s schl g: middle of Septembe r , His Majesty the Kin?, a o nd onf Prussia is expected there by the the ion of his return will probably honour the milt he camp near Olmz with his presence. Austria has addressed to all the Governments in Europe a long memorandnm, showing the occurrences at Smyrna in the light of a first step towards the realiza tion of the Monroe doctrine, on the part of the United States. The Austrian post.office authorities have given notice, that the mouth of the Danube being impassable, the Con- stantinople mail will be forwarded every Wednesday, by way of Trieste. Letters for Jassy will be sent every Thurs day, by way of Galatz. 30 Austrian vessels laden with Corn are to be towed up the river from Sulina. RUSSIA. — The Emperor of Russia has also had his great naval review. On the 15th of July he inspected the manoeuvres of a fleet of sixty-three sail; with which he declared himself highly satisfied. The Journal of St. Petersburg has been publishing ostentatious statistics of the number of troops conveyed along the Moscow and Petershiirg railway since its opening. Intelligence from Vienna-states-that ambassadors 'extraordinary front the Schap of Persia had arrived at St. Petersburg, accompanied 15 - the nephew of Prince Dolgoruki, the Russian ambassador in Persia. The Czar has given the Hospodars their free choice whether to go to Constantinople, in obedience to the summons of the Porte, or to remain in their respective territories. - TIIRKEY.—The latest accounts from the Danubian frontier speak of the high state of preparation of the army ° ,,f Omer Pasha, and the activity of that officer. The state o discipline, it is said, is very severe, every necessary is b ought and paid for, and any insult to a Christian, Vlach rarely occurs, is promptly punished. The muni tions of war of every kind are abundant, and of the best tY. There are about 80,000 men now concentrated appearsps e 30,000 irregulars. The health of the tro o to be much better than that of the Rus claWes, who, it is said, suffer great mortality from typhus. be following is the note proposed by Redschid Pasha to f ou -Zented to Count Nesselrode :—" Knowing the pro ms th e l uterest his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, as well cerns great majority of his subjects, take in all that con motives theofreligion they profess, and fully appreciating the nicatin g t _that interest, I have great pleasure in comma loverognl.Your excellency the firmans which my august of this y ear aB a Promulgated towards the end of the Chaban part of th e ud, to remove all doubt, I assure you, on the sacred rightiublime Porte, that, reserving to itself the the sincere i nte °f sovereign over its own subjects, to the-Greek hu of his Imperial Majesty is to secure spiritual privz„, eh hi perpetuity the enjoyment of the -sea a n d • his ntestY hereafter immunities which it may please Christian subjects. to grant to any other sect of his but that the assaran have not the least doubt, in fact, &mans, which.have ees founded on the abovementioned• likewise - g i ve satisfaction inspired confidence, will spired In the explanatory /101 l to Rus submitted to the representatives of the Mu' Powers, i t said that this draft is the last concessiok- that Turkey can make and th the ation of the Danubian :a as it shall have been ree p eiveti ts is' n upon as evacu- soon the Court of St, Peters burgh. The definitive solution of the difference, there fore, must follow from the acceptance of this note by Russia, not from its acceptance of the Anglo-French pro positions, and the answer of Count Nesselrode cannot be received at Constantinople before the 10th of this month. An interview took place on the 2nd instant between Redschild Pacha and the Persian Ambassador. It is stated that the Court of Teheran has given full and posi tive assurances of its support in case of need. The Minis ters of Persia concur in all that has taken place, and offer themselves as Musselmans in favour of a Musselman cause. They announce officially that they have taken the necessary measures for collecting an army of 60,000 men at Sultanieh, which they place at the disposal of the Sultan. The Spanish General Prim arrived at Constantinople on the la instant. He professes to come on a scientific mission, but is ready, in case of war, to undertake a mili tary excursion in the direction of Schumla. He has visited the principal Ministers, and has been courteously received. He also has had a gracious audience of the Sultan. 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. MAIIRITIUS.—By the Harbinger we have dates from Mauritius to the 21st of June. The sugar crop had 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 activit Mauritius markets for provisions and spirits. THE PACIFIC.—By the steamer Parana we have ad vices from Valparaiso to the Ist of July, and Callao, July 11. Chili was tranquil and prosperous. The minister of finance had presen in the , c 1 his report to the chambers, showing an increase in the revenue of 1852 over 1851 of $1,173,572. The President of the Republic delivered his ane,Avhich gave an excel- lent synopsis of the rapid progress of the country The news from Pei=a is interesting. Affairs between that country and Bolivia were rapidly approaching a state of war. The first act of hostility, was the stoppage of decree of Peru, levying 40 per cent. transit duty on all merchandise passing through that country for Bolivia, and. vice versa. Fourth, the decree of Bolivia to coin hard dollars for export. Fifth, the seizure of Cobija by Peru, thus cutting off all communication between Bolivia and the Pacific, Cobija being the only nort of that p•nvprn- This event has not, however, in any way inter rupted 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 Belzer has issued a decree ordering preparations for war, declaring an abso lute .in terdiction 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 Bogota mention that the country continued in a disturbed state. Congress had adjourned, having passed several important laws—among others, that regarding free voting CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—By the steamer Harbinger we 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 of 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 cheerfully. 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 r--- W crimp' a rvairc. place, one of which belonged to Mr. Staunton, jun. Five of the fattest appear 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 kr aa l h as also been broken open and some cattle stolen. AITEITEALIA.—The uenerai screw steam-shipping Com pany's ship Harbinger, Captain Lane, arrived at South ampton, on Thursday, from Australia. Her dates are— Sydney, Alay 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 memorial of December last. In the last week of April, 4,000 immigrants were landed at Port Philip. Melbourne was overcrowded, and many of the new arrivals were in a - AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA By the British and North American Royal. Mail Steam- Ship Asia, Captain Lott, we have advices 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 thi s port, going into Ne w Y or k On the 13th passed the Bremen ship Joln7Williams, bound . west ; on the 14th, at 3 30, p.m., passed the Royal Mail steamer America, hence for Halifax e and y B p os as t s o ed n. the°n the ship 16th, at 8 2 0 , a.m., passed the United States steamer Pacific, hence for New York; same 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., n. on Sunday, having made the r un in 10 days 11 hours andl6 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 enough 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.

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 bride and groom have since visited Sacramento, and are now iu domestic retirement in San Francisco. Intelligence had been received at Washington, from the fishing grounds, announcing the arrival there of fifteen or twenty United State.- fishing vessels, completely armed, the crews of which were determined to fight if interfered with by the British cruizers. The New York Herald has 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 i the entire ground n 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 comp l e te 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. e Cape By telegraph from B oston a fe w items of interest from the fishing regions have been received .

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. The receipts from California, $2,200,000. The balance of coin in the sub-treasury in this city, is THE LIVERPOOL STAN $8,478,000. The market for foreign exchanges is very unsettled. The rate for first-class bankers' bills on Lon don is 1092 ; but bills purchased on time have been resold for cash at much lower rates. was rem, COTTON.—(From the New York Shipping List of August 10.)—The market has been dull and heavy ; the decline in exchange, and the advance in freights to Liver pool, having had an unfavourable influence upon it.

Wright's Circular, of August 10) —The reports of the growing crop, received during the past week, generally complain of the prevalence of rain, both in the Atlantic States and the region tributary to New Orleans. The crop is everywhere described as being backward, and it will require from this time out a con tinuance of favourable weather, with a late and open fall, to ensure a crop equal to the one just closing. BREADSTUFFB.—An advance of 18.1 c. 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. PROVISIML—Pork is inactive at $15,50 to $15,622 for mess, and $12,75 to $l2, 872 for prime. Lard, in barrels, is in moderate request at 101 c. to 11c.

CITILD MURDER AT LIVERPOOU—Mary Ana Ho d kinsort, aged 35, was charged with the wilful murder of her infant child at Liverpool, on the 4th instant. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and during her trial appeared perfectly calm and collected. The, faets.of the ease have already been published in our columns. The husband of the prisoner was a brewer, an lived with his family in Rigby-street. On the night previbus to the morning of the. occurrence, (Thursday, the4th instank) 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 slept the greater part of the , night, and in the morning her husband got up and left 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,, "1 have done it ; the child will be no more hungered." Th e 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 nisoner 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, a at Liverpool, on the 12th of July last.

Nothing farther took place at that time, and eht prisoner did not resent the deceased's couducti Shortly BARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL afterwards the deceased and his companions left the house, and on reaching the street the prisoner followed ; imme *ely afterwards she made a blow at the deceased, and - nstrated with by a woman standing near.

He was taken into a public-house, and subsequently removed to the Northern Hospital, where he survived only a few days. Witnesses were called, whose evidence supported the circumstances stated above. Mr. W. B. Wall, surgeon of the Northern Hospi tal, stated that the deceased h a d rece i ve d a woun d i n the principal artery of the neck, which injury was the cause of death. In reply to a question, the witness said that had the deceased received surgical assistance immediately on the occurrence taking place, his life might probably have been saved. The jury found the prisoner guilty of man slaughter, and his Lordship, after a severe admonition upon the nature of the crime she had committed, which was another instance to be added to the many arising from the fearful consequences, of intemperance, sentenced her to 20 years' transportation.

(BEFORE MR. JUSTICE KE12.0.) r, WRIGIIT.—This was an action for an LINDIFAV assault.—Mr.. _ plaintiff; and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins ana for the dettindant.—lt appeared that at the litter end of last May thwplahltiff, a commercial travellr , , was drink ing at night in a public-house called the Wellingt Manchester, when the defendant entered witli , some. dogs, The plaintiff add Fessed him immediately, as- M Justice Erie observedith the jury, "civilly, for his classi"lsyasking ton, at him familiarly,. " Will you have a glass wit I with you P" to , which invitation the defendant' gay most distinct and definite notice to the plaintiff that he did not wish to . join company with him," by reptriig, "he fi me; or s _ _ would see hisn - cl—d first?' The plaintiff immediately rejoined, " Quits~ right." A match at " trotting'z' then , commenced, or - as another witness called it shaffing," the plaintiff remarking that " the defendant's dog , were very valuable dogs, worth £60," and asking, " what he would sell them for,"' and a great many " disrespectful words" passed Between the plaintiff and the defendant, finishing with a declaration by the plaintiff that "'the de fendant was far too clever to die a natural death." At this time the dogs growled, or had been made to dam) ' and the company complained of them as a nu i sance, and, called to have them turned out. An attorney's clerk out of em ployment, named'Handforth, who was present, then: made' some observationythat "the defendant was a pretty fellow to be growled at by his own dogs," and the defendant, provoked, pushedliim 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 thetemple, cutting it, and nearly render ing him insensible.. The wound bled considerably, an&the plaintiff's nervons• system received a severe shock.—For the defence, Mr. Serjeant Wilkins cross-examined. the• plaintiff, endeavouring . to show that he was given to dram drinking, and that his nervous system had received,:its •. shock' froTr- thht; In the course of his cross-examina tion, the plaintiff, "in an. impudent manner, said he -bad" drunk wine at Dick's Coffee-house with the learned ser jeant—not at the Berk:an - es expense, but sitting iirthe• same box with him. This the learned serjeant deniert i anct said the plaintiff was ono of that style of men who seemed to live only towork mischief. It was his indulgence in this spirit which had bro - aght on this pot-house roan, and he called 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 tiff—damages ls.

HELENS CANAL AND .TUILWAY COM PUTT.—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 supplie4.l3y 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 WA 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 ene of its servants, ran up this shunt at a rapid pace, struck the waggons which plaintif f was pushing, and tbe •result was, that the plain tiff's, arm was crushed and hroken 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 times ; and that t was the plaintiff's own care lessness that he did not get out of the way.—Mr. Serjeant Wilkins 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 plaintiff's wit. nesses they must give. the plaintiff such compensation as, in their judgment was in some degree adequate to the 104 s. he had sustained by being rendered incapable in future to earn his living.—The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff', damages, £l7O. 80i:inLEEN v. HAATolv.—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 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. Te 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 &Auld a verdict for the plaintiff. CHAPLAIN, Exon. v. LEvT.—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 sides, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff; for the amount claimed. _ _ _ BARBER V. DAwsoN.—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.

BREACH OF ENGAGEMEN A verdic s sought to PARIS V. CHAPPLE was an action in which Charles j3igham P recover 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 thir ty years of age, at ei having completed his education in German - y; was appren ticed to Mr. Mongredien, a merchant, carrying on a large bUsiness in Liverpool. He entered this gentleman's office at a nominal salary. He remained five years with Mr. Mongredien, and he then entered into bnsiness as a ship owner, on his own account, and afterwards, for a year and a half, with a Mr. Priem. ' At the end of this period he made an arrangement with the defendant, Mr. Chapple, who carried on business under the title of " Vienna, Jones, and Chapple," presenting advantages of which he was glad to avail himself. An agreement was entered into on the of September, in which it was contracted that the of the defendant, as nd should plaintiff should enter into t manager and clerk fora peri devote, under the defendant's superintendence and direc tions, his best attention to the conducting of the business and the house, and that the,defendant should pay for his services a salary commencing at not less than 2200, gra dually increasing until, at the end of the seventh year, it should not be less than £4OO. This was a minimum salary, and there was an understanding, that, if the profits of the • house increased considerably, there was to be a rise in the salary, and, eventually, apartnership 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 Ist 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 r 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. Chapplk 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 a 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 call at the.- office of the defendant, but to consult his attorney, also. stating that the plaintiff had shown himself to be incom petent to dischargothe duties of managing-clerk, and that,, therefore, the defendant had put an end to his engage-. went. It was attempted to be shown that the plaintiff was incompetent: for his duties, and was discourteons.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 litigatioa would end in mutual respect. The differ ence had really arisen from a misfortune with respect to temper. The termination of the case was most satisfactory. MORGAN. AND. ANOTHER (ASSIGNEES) v. MARQUIS AND AMMIEB.—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 ENO, being the balance of the value of 243,000 bags of flour bought by the defendant for Mr. Perrin, the bank rupt!. Mr..Perrin, before his bankruptcy, was a mem b er of the firm of Moore, Wood, Brothers, and Co., and speculated to a considerable extent on his own account, on stares 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. BEA.UGH AND ANOTHER (EXECUTORS) V. 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. NicnoLs.—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 flat of the defendant's, occasioned by the neglect of the dofendant's servants. On the 15th of June, the plaintiffs flat, the Morning Star, laden with slack, ar rived at wh a t i s ca ll e d th e C hem i stry Loc k , an d 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 tiff's 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 ANOTHER V. SPENCE.—This was an action on a breach of contract relative to the supply of cordage, rigging, &c., to the ship Evangeline, which the defendants refused to supply, un l ess an acceptance' of the Messrs. Clint (owners of the ship) was handed over as the goods were delivered. By consent, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff for £156, leave being given to move for a verdict to be entered for the defendant in the court above —a demurer in the case to be argued at the same time. ACTION ON A BOND.—THE GUARDIANS OF THE POOR OP STOKESLET V. STOTHEIL—This was an action brought to recover the sum of £l5O owing on a bond into which the defendant had entered as one of the sureties to the plaintiffs for Robert Neasham, lately a relieving officer to the Stokesley Union. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff. The court rose a little before seven o'clock. SATURDAY. (Before Mr. Justice Erie and a Special Jury.)
