TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, SIR,—We had a conversation the other evening with Mr. Checks, on statues. We think it our duty; and in accordance.with the tenor of our in structions, to report thereon. It is well kno - wn, or ought to be, that our friend prides himself on what he calls " a feeling for art." "A feeling for art," he is accustomed to observe, "is the privilege of our day." Every well-educated fellow must have it. The prince has it. All our rich spinners have it. He has it. He could not " get on" in society without it. Mr. Checks, when pressed, acknowledges, "he certainly does not hang;" but that has nothing to do with the ques tion. As a dignitary of the church, or " say a statesman," with a national grant or public sub scription to dispose of, " his feeling" would, of course, relieve itself in statues, or " something in the fresco way." If in the " wealthy manufactui-inrr line," he would naturally cultivate " bits of color," or proofs (15.15) of sheep, dead poultry, and the canine species generally. Even if a householder, as a " matter of furnishing"—but it is useless to put that case—he is not and " does not know when he may be." Therefore Mr. Checks, by his own account, is content to open, his eyes instead of his pocket, and enjoy " other people's" works of art, having none of his own. Of course Mr. Checks' is a critic. " Who isn't ?" he abruptly asks ; and though we do not remember to have heard him use the words " handling" or " middle distance" as often as we could wish, still we are inclined to believe in his own words, that he "knows a good thing when he sees it." In the performance of our duty, sir, we had that morning inspected, at the Royal Institution of this city, the " models" for the Wellington statue intended to be erected here. Musing at intervals on the de cision of the judicial committee, it struck us that we would take Mr. Checks' opinion about it. We sought him at hie club. Our friend was there. During an interval at billiards, he received us with his usual expressions of pleasure. Seeing, however, that he was intent and fidgetty, " chalking" fre quently, and following his ball about in a partially abstracted manner, we waited until he had finished the game, which he proacilar did, by—amongst other things "running a cue, missing a simple and, through the medium of what his adversary called " a fluke," winning it. Cutting short Mr. Checks' complacent admission, that "it was a fluke," and his smiling qualification of it as "an infernal one," we led him to the com fortable corner, called in the assistance of our steward, and, over a friendly glass, told him what we had been doing in the morning, and in general terms and at some length " opened our mind" to him. Mir. Checks surprises us by promptly declaring he sees nothing in it. He asks your "commissioner," with some apparent irritation, what we would have ? He declares, if we are not satisfied we ought to be ; and settles himself, avowedly, to "cut us up in detail," which he proceeds to effect in his usual sententious manner. How stands the case? 'thus: says Mr. Checks, Manchester wants, that is, several of her " leading men" to subscribe for a statue to F.M. the Duke. Competition is invited. Judges are appointed. Artists compete. A statue is selected. The grumblers—Mr. Checks looks significantly at us— begin to grumble. So ! At what do we grumble ? At competition? Absurd. (Mr. C. never pretends to modesty in his expression of opinion.) Everything now-a-days is a result of competition. Our gigantic trade, our voluntary education; with the trifling excep tion of an established portion of it—our religion. Why not our art ? See how Lord John caught it for giving Gibson a commission, instead of asking for a " model." A job, they called it. Without competition statesman can not be kept honest. Think of that ! .tvo • f ar called into exis tence by competition," he wi l l not go from his own town to " demolish" that idea. " There's Peel" in the infirmary pond, or rather were the pond was. He knows it has been considered a matter of congratulation, that the deceased did - not wear his hair " en queue," or the resemblance in profile would have been complete not heard of it— not of a " pump without a handle ?" No, we sur prised him. Grantin g it were so, people had no business to "put it in that light." Look the thing full in the face, and what could be better? It is " all very well" to say statues should be pleasing or dignified in every aspect. It cannot be. .If artists contrived it, the elements would not allow it. Take one of our soaking wet days; would there be a whit more " dignity , in soot and water dripping from the nose of Peel without a hat as a statesman, than in soot and water trickling from the spout of Peel without handle as a pump ? We are hypercritical, Mr. Checks tells us. If living heroes will not bear looking at from every " standpoint" why should their statues ? Deal with the latter as with the former: if they present a decent " front" to society, " let them be." Only uncomfortable people think .of prying round corners and assailing them in the rear. Justify such conduct, and presently we should require the sides of our public buildings as well as their fronts to be made of stone, when " everyone knows" brick is as useful, and much more cheap. Finding that Mr. Checks is likely to continue in the same strain longer than is necessary for the " entire satisfaction" of your " commissioner," we divert his attention by directing it to the large proportion of inferior " models" sent in for exami nation. He " pooh poohs" our objections to them as caricatures calculated to associate the illustrious dead, and more especially his nose, with the ridiculous. He declares with some vivacity, if Frenchmen would feel avenged to look at them, they were " welcome and no mistake :" and as for any waste of labor they might represent Mr. Checks reminds us, a clever artist's time is " not worth much he believes," whilst for the " young ones" it is " exciting practice." Mr. Checks rings for a " sandwich and bitter ale," and defends the appointment of the judicial committee. One of its noble members, he observes, is as well known for a refined taste in selecting, as he is admired for a kindly liberality in exposing to view the master-pieces which fill his galleries. His noble coadjutor, though not as well " up" in /I ,or a horse. It was reasonable presumption that F. M. the Duke's statue would need "mounting," and what satisfaction for every subscriber to reflect in the interval of suspense, that if he had to pay for "a charger," it could be "warranted sound." Of his lordship, our excellent bishop the third member of the &mmittee, it is only necessary to remark that being " ex officio" a judge of most things, he is amongst other things, a judge of art. Add the general consideration 6, that these gentlemen having presumedly been " brought up" in " ancestral halls," had an early acquaintance with the " statues," which no doubt " gleamed" there, and like that "interesting young female" in " some novel" or other, (German, Mr. C. believes,) must naturally ever afterwards have a longing appreciation for statues in general. What nonsense to speak of ' not representing' the people of Manchester, their wishes, feelings, modes of thought, and what not " Bosh !" says Mr. Checks, " they do represent them, more than they, the people, imagine ; and if they represent the sub scribers that's enough !" "No . pay, no say," is M. Checks's motto, and the British constitution's also. Five or seven thousand pounds have a right, in a free country, to select who, mid " put up" what they like—yes, and " if it comes to that," to put Clown what they don't like. _ _ Mr. Checks is evidently excited. He orders a cigar. He would not, if he was not. Between in tervals of smoking and re-lighting (Mr. Checks' cigars are always " going Out"), he rebuts our stric tures on the selection made by the noble and right reverend committee. What are statues? he asks. Our embodied idea lisations of great or beautiful realities ? Certainly not—nothing of the sort. But mee ti ng us on our own ground, he is " prepared to show" the coin mittee have not failed. The genius of a youth working in battle and other anti-peace doctrine practises; the convictions of a maturity passed in resisting democracy, barricading Apsley House, and protecting native industry, i t i. o not the Manchester " ideal of Wellington." Neither as the " hero of Assaye," or any of the 99 other fights in which he was engaged ; nor as the impds sable conservative statesman, was he much valued here. Manchester " honors pluck" (so does Mr Checks) ; but it must be pluck on the right side " for their money." So they never liked him pro perly, until he " knocked under," to the ferule of " our Manchester school," and became, by lapse of time, a fine, venerable, submissive, sagacious, and highly respectable old peer. That is the Man chester ideal of him, Mr. Checks is happy to say; and if it is not embodied in the " piece of chisel ling" chosen, he should be glad if we would inform him where to find it. Mr. Checks proceeds however—somewhat rudely as we think at the time—to " bother our ideals. Statues, he declares, are not erected so much to idealise or honour greatness as to show we are " on the list" of its acquaintances. He (Mr. Checks) himself does not wriggle and struggle to shake Mr. Thackeray by the hand, for Mr. T.'s private glori fication, but that it may be known and seen that he, Checks, has had him by the hand. And why ? " Checks" is nothing—but Checks plus an eminent novelist's acquaintance is something. " It redounds to his credit." Just so with statues. They " re dound" to all our credits. Boots at the Albion can tell the unshaved foreigner as he looks out of window in the early morning, " That is our Peel, sir, the great statesman ; the other 's "the Jewk ;" cost 15 or 17 thousand pounds, I cannot rightly say whether. There is another Peel, in Salford sir, but him and the Jewk is very much alike, special the Jelck. We have another " statty," sir, as I've heard say, but he 's marble, and under cover, sir, some where about Mosley-street." All this, Mr. Checks informs us, is " interesting to strangers," and lots them know we can " appre ciate merit." Does he or Manchester care for the thing in itself? Very likely not. Manchester is no " show town." He could not live in it if it was. He should have nothing to live on. But when cockneys and " LiverpudlianS" with their Roman togas and " chains and slavery" tell them they have not a thought above money making, it is quite right for the men—that is, the " leading men " —to " come down" handsomely, and show they can spend it too. Did he " come down ? why no— he didn't, he has not begun " that kind of thing yet—" but the principle 's the same." Mr. Checks admits that possibly we may " do a credit," and, at tile same tune, aaa an - ornament" to our town. Are they not doing so now. Perhaps. we prefer No. 3, in an ornamental point of view. And it shows under what a misfortune we labour in not having a cultivated appreciation of art. We; are all for nature and extravagance, exceptional attitudes, and exuberant action. But the " mission of art" is to " titivate" nature and quench extrava vance.. Art must be chaste—says Mr. Checks—or .nothing Before a man can become the fine gentle man, or a hero the fine statue, there must be " got rid of ' much of the man and most of the hero. To enter ball-rooms and mount pedestals with pro piety, gentlemen and statues must be equally quiet in " deportment." Things that are " stuck up," always to be "undeil one's nose," asserts Mr. Checks in continuation, should be in the least likely form to attract, that is' distract attention. With a head running on orders, or " jobs," it would never do to be suddenly scared " out of your five senses" by a fellow waving a drawn sword," or a charger ." kicking up behind and before ;" and in a " hive of industry like ours." . Mr. Cheeks would on no account have such an example placed before the rising • generation as " four lazy personations sprawling •at noonday on! the flags like Neapolitan lazzaroni." In this. his " noble and right reverend neighbours " knew . better what was " good for us ' than " some of us " (evidently meaning your " commissioner ")! knew ourselves. " Above all things," any selection, made for this intelligent and highly mercantile' community must be " safe." It would never do: for Manchester to compromise its budding respec- . tability by doing anything "out of the way." Iti might make " a hit," but might be—laughed at,' Now, a statue standing " firm on its pins," and: held on by a reasonable quantity of colossal. drapery behind is respectable, time honored, and 'very " safe." There is not a laugh "in a bushel" of such. F. M. the Duke's statue fulfils these requirements—is " pleasing," " appropriate," and ' far Pppl's. which is a consi deration. Choose a scrambling group Julie iv., and where would "we " put it. In the middle ? Very likely; then immediately be running after a second lot of " leading men " for subscribers ; looking up another great man, not too great for them to agree about, and all to " put things. square," which ought never to have been other-, wise. Let well alone, and be thankful, concludes Mr.i Checks, as we rise to go home. The duke's " double" may be a little of the "bolt-upright order of architecture," he soothingly adds; but now the " speechifying" is done, and our love and esteem all recorded, it will finish the sentence like a " fine old note of admiration." We are fond of " symbols," and Mr. Checks makes us.a present of " that." Having had all the talk to himself, .and the argu ment entirely his own way for the last half hour, Mr. Checks descends for his coat in the best of humors. He assures us on the stairs that the evening has passed very pleasantly. Though we have much to learn in " art," he likes our com pany " none the worse " for it. " A man cannot know everything," but he can "be himself," and being that, he is the man for Mr. Checks, who respects " individuality above all thingS." Being presently elaborately muffled against cold, he bids us, in his jocular way, " Ta-ta! " and dis appears. We ourselves walk thoughtfully homewards, looking much at the stars, and wondering what had " come over" Mr. Checks. Our opinions are usually identical. We expected they would be so this evening. In this, it seems, we were mistaken. Probably for the first time in the experience of, Sir, your obedient servant, and " FINE ART COMMISSIONER." Manchester, Dec. 3, 1853. CHRISTMAS DAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SlR.—Christmas Day falling on a Sunday will prove a great disappointment to many who look forward to it as a day when they can enjoy them selves without restraint. The working men who slave all the year round to support their wives and families, and who scrape together the little money they can spare to have a merry-making with their friends, would it not be unkind of us to overlook them? Should we not have compassion on them and do our best to bring the public to consent to making Monday the 20th inst. a geueiul 1.v1 3 day-. But it. is not only they who will feel lit but we our selves. We like to have a song after our plum pudding as well as they. We like to have our friends round us ; we do not like to be restrained by anything when old Christmas with his hoary head comes round and bids us be merry; we can not refuse the invitation. So let us my friends join with one consent in having a jollification on the Monday, and we shall have the gratification of knowing that we have contributed towards the pleasure of our countrymen. W. L. F. THE "FREE LENDING LIBRARIES." TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SlR,—Knowing your desire on all occaasions to use your rapidly increasing influence in the cause of progress, I am induced to address you upon a subject of considerable importance to the middle and working classes of Liverpool. It is with reference to the hours of admission to the free lending libraries in Park-lane and Brown- - low-hill. At present, the libraries are open for the distri bution of books, on Tuesdays and Fridays, between the hours of seven and nine p.m. I do not intend to complain either of the days selected, or of the length of time allowed for appli cation, as no fault can be found with either. My object in addressing you is, to endeavour to induce the authorities to open the library at six instead of seven. _ . . ------ As the hours of admission now stand, many of the residents on the Cheshire side, and in the sub• urbs of Liverpool, are prevented by the lateness of the hour; from availing themselves of the great ad vantages which this noble institution offers to its members. To the working man also, the change I propose would be a great boon. The greater part of those employed in manual labour cease working at six p.m.; if, therefore, they want to obtain a work oat of the library, they must wait an hour, and very probably pass their idle time in some public-house ; where the .beneficial effects resulting from their, membership in the library will be more than cowl terbalanced by th e w o rk of th a t s i n gle' hour of idleness. If the committee of management find it imprac- rr g r Ti - s - vrrt THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. 'ticable to open the doors at six o'clock both nights in the week, let them do so on one ; or if six o'clock is found too early, (which I trust it may not), then say half-past six. This is not the idea of one person only, but of the majority of those whOse privilege of member ship is-highly prized. Trusting you will consider the importance of the subject as a sufficient reason for the insertion of this letter, I remain, your obe dient servant, No. 30. Liverpool, Dec. 9, 1853. TEETOTALISA!. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Sir,—l perceive from the perusal of your paper that you have taken up the subject . of reformation in all public bodies. There is one body which I hope you will not overlook, viz : that large and influential body of men who call themselves tee totallers; 'men who profess, not only to abstain from all intoxicating liquors, but by their example and influence to gain converts to their cause. You know, sir, among all great bodies of men there will, of course, be leading men. Men who either by their superior talents or the great length of their purses, obtain a lead. Now, sir, there is no society in which there are more of these men than in the societies of teetotallers, and therefore if any refor mation be needed, I think it is but fair to begin with the great men first. Now, sir, it is my belief that there is a great deal of inconsistency amongst these men. 1, as a poor working man, may be deemed impertinent to look into the conduct of these great guns, who from time to time address the public in language most sublime, taking such lofty flights, that they find it difficult to bring down their eloquent raphsody to a level with the plain common sense, honest, though maybe rough, comprehension of a less educated man. I, sir, cannot blame them for thus showing off their powers of language : if they would only practice half of what they profess, we might listen with some degree 01 eloquence to these lofty appeals. But, sir, wheu we follow Rama of theme men home, and watch them grinning and laughing at the way in which they had gulled John Bull, and then see them go to their little cupboard, and take out their glass of port, why, sir, it is enough to disgust a man with the cause altogether, were it not that the cause in itself is a good one. Now, sir, I know one of these learned gentlemen who very frequently spouts at the Concert-hall (particularly if there happens to be a " star" there), and tells his hearers that they ought to avoid " all appearances of evil." Now, :4r this said gentleman, by his spouting and .preach ing, makes something decent out of the teetotallers at their grand balls and fetes. Now, this man has no objection to spend a great part of his time in a public house—has nobjection t (in private) to tak e his dinner there, nor o spend the money which he has abstracted from the pockets of the believers. Now, sir, is it fair that the money which we working men have earned by the sweat of our brow —I say, is it fair that this money should be taken and given to men who cannot be honest, if hypos, racy is dishonesty. Now, sir, I hope you will flay these men a little, and " take the shine out of 'eni." If you do, sir, I shall remain, yours truly, ANTI-HUMBUG. Liverpool, Dec, oth, 1853. IRISH CHURCH Missle.:vs.—There was a meeting of this society, held in Glasgow, on Wednesday night last, The proceedings was conducted principally by the deputation from Ireland. PRIZE ESSAY.—The premium offered for _the best plan for reclaiming Dartmoor and for the development of its various resources has been awarded to Mr. Henry Tanner, estate agent of Exeter, who was the successful competitor ,for the Royal Agricultural Society's £5O prize for his report on the agriculture of Devonshire. There are upwards of 200,000 acres of waste land of good quality lying in the midst of the fertile county of Devon, the property of the Prince of Wales, which is now almost unproductive. LOSSES AT SEA.—A 4estructive casualty, it is feared, has occurred by the running ashore of the " Sir Edward Hamil ton," belonging to Mr. T. Ward, of Hull. It seems that this vessel was on a return voyage from Petersburg to Hull, ath s x l a o r g e l . h u d ,„ a valuable v c 9 a v r fn o i n o o. f st Russian during p a r o d d e u n c s e e . About fog, she went ashore on the rocks near lamooruu g h house. Immediately after striking she lost her rudder, and so violent was the force with which she had grounded, that sho speedily- filled with wator. Hor position was very critical, and the crew began at once to dismantle her. Intelligence of the casualty was at once forwarded to Hull, and the owners dispatched a steam tug to render whatever assistance was practicable. On Friday, such was the position of the ship that the deck-load was hove overboard, and every one of her three masts cut away. Some of the small stores and a trifling part of the cargo were landed. During the week further attempts have been made to secure the cargo, but we believe the probabilities of saving the ship are very small.—BasternCounties Herald. A FIGHT IN THE WYND.—A lad named Russell was y esterdayY fined in three guineas, and other two men named Cogan and Noble in half a guinea each, for fighting late on the previous evening in the spirit shop of Russell's mother, in Old Wynd. Russell's version of the story was, that on coming into :the shop he found Cogan making too free with his mother, and he took him by the neck and pitched him out:the house. That a short time afterwards Co gan returned with a reinforcement of up-the-country-people (Connaught men) like himself, and kicked up a disturbance about the shop, assaulting him and his friend Noble. But the other version of the story, and the one the magistrate was inclined to believe, was extracted from the evidence of three spectators, one of whom, a young lad named Burt, appeared in court, a strange combination of an old head upon. young shoulders, fiom the Crown of his head having been shaved, and a large patch of plaster covering his or gan of benevolence, giving him the appearance of a bald pated youth. He averred that while looking at the fray at Russell's door, the lad Russell came out armed with a bar of iron, his companion with a quart bottle, one woman with a porker, and another with a pair of tongs, which they flailed about them most lustily, young Russell making a quart bottle of ginger pop smash over Burt's head in the way a bottle of port is wont to be broken over the wooden figure-head of a ship when launched, inflictinc , on his skull a serious and dangerous wound. It appeared to have been a somewhat alarming affray, bottles having been pitched out upon the beleagering party, and the domestic weapons of war flourished in regular Donnybrook fashion. There were others concerned in the melee, but they forfeited pled ges by not appearing.—N. B. Mail. THE POTATO IN THE NORTH.—The Banffshire Journal has been at some trouble to ascertain, from authentie sources, if there is really any foundation for rumours that had got currency relative to the state of the potato stock in the north. Circulars were addressed chiefly to parochial schoolmasters, and answers have been received. From Aberdeenshire the accounts are favourable. Disease has affected the stock since pitted, but in no single case does the loss exceed one-half per cent. From the parishes in Banff shire there is reported to be no diseases, and in fourteen it is stated that dis.a.o h u 1 only appeared to a very slight extent while in three parishes it had made considerable progress. Thus the total is favourable. In Morayshire reports are not quite so favourable. In Nairnshire, in so far as can be as certained, the disease has made little progress. From Inver ness-shire and Ross-shire the reports are unfavourable. Those grown in the high districts of the country are com paratively free, while those grown in the low-lying damp soils are bad. Caithness-shire is free from the disease. It would seem that the shipment of potatoes has in some instances had a most prejudicial effect on the article, induc ing a very rapid decay. and several cargoes shipped for the London market from Inverness have been found on arrival to be utterly useless.— .N B. Mail. PUSEYISM IN THE CHURCH. A Mr. Jellies Bale publishes . a remonstrance, addressed to the Bishop of London, on the " Romish," or rather Puseyite practices followed at St. Barnabas Church, St. James's. Incidentally we may men tion. that the bishop has not noticed the communication. Mr. Bale says :—I attended there on Sunday morning last the 4th of December, and after witnessing the miserable spectacle of the clergy separating themselves from the laity by rood screens and brass gates, and the absurd practice of turning their backs to the cong regation during the deli eery of prayers, the genuflexions before the cross, and the mum mery by a verger at stated periods bearing a crook sur mounted by the figure of "St Barnabas," I was enlightened as to the real tendency of these observances in the sermon then delivered (and it was in manuscript, can be obtained by your lordship), in which the preacher, addressing a Protes tant congregation (whose primary duty as such is to up hold the right of private judgment), warned us that we migh read, but most not interpret, the Word of God, told us that we were to believe all the "church," said, warned us not to " wrangle" with the church, because, said he, what ever the 'church says, is right. These are but samples of , a wily, insidious, jesuitical sermon, utterly at variance with the reformed Protestant church. I have no desire to make this unnecessarily long, but I cannot forbear remarking that the " commandments and Lord's prayer" are nowhere to be seen over the table (not the altar), that a " credence" table is an appendage which you will admit to be unlawful, that huge candles so filled the eye, that the simple forms of our church were altogether lost, its external appearance was that of a mass-house, and from my heart I believe the hearts of the curates and priests internally accorded with it. The congregation could not understand a word of the service, it was uttered by choristers (who, as inferior clergy, ordained by puseyite priests, are permitted to enter within the screen), and priests, in a strange, unknown tongue (very artis tic), doubtless, but der gating from the Sinipliditand purity of our mother tongue), intoned the beautiful ser vice. COUNTY CO URT.—YESTERDAY. The court sat at ten o'clock. WILKINSON V. GATES. —WITNESSES' EXPENSES.—The plaintiff in this case sought to recover 7s. 6d. a day for six days, during which he attended upon a subpoena in St. George's Hall, in a case of Batts v. Gates, recently tried. Mr. RYMER appeared for the defence, and said he should have made no objection to the demand, but that the plaintiff had got in his possession some property belonging to the de fendant. He should therefore oppose the claim, on the ground that the plaintiff being resident in Liverpool, was not entitled by law to recover his expenses under a subpoena. His HONOR : He cannot recover his expenses ? Mr. RYMER : Not when residing within the town. His Herron : Just show me that. Mr. RYMER : A witness residing in town can have no expenses. His HoNon • That is what I want to know. Mr. RYMER : All the authorities go to that extent. His HONOR : But why ? Suppose a man is kept out of his house, and gets his dinner in town. Mr. RYMER : Even so, he is not entitled to recover any expenses. His HONOR : Yes, he is entitled to recover expenses, but not for loss of time. lam quite clear in my own mind about it. The law is this, whether living in or out of the town a man is entitled, wherever he is, to any expense resulting from his attendance as a witness, but nothing for loss of time. The law imposes upon him the duty of attending in accordance with the subpoena, and accordingly he is not to be raid for loss of time, but he is to be paid for any expense he incurs in his absence from home—such as the exp ense of going and coming back. Of course if he lives close by; there is no expense—and if he is obliged to expend any money because of his being away from home, that expense is allowed. You will find there is a case where a man got his expenses for nine weeks. Mr. RYMER : Yes, I am quite aware of that case ; but I think he recovered for being detained. His ,HONOR : He received the expenses for attending, being made to come there and kept there. #i know of no case where a man is not to be paid his expenses. Are you prepared to contend that if he is served with a subpoena, without any sum of money whatever, he is bound to attend Mr. ItymEh : Yes, sir, certainly. There can be no doubt about it. It is a duty incumbent upon any man to attend upon a subpoena; and what I say is this, if a man is close by, living in the town itself, he has no expenses whatevea His HONOR : He may have. Mr. RYMER : What expenses can he possibly have ? His HONOR : He may require to eat. Mr. RYMER : He can eat at home. PLAINTIFF : I could not go home. His HONOR; He might not be able to go home. You only speak of expenses for loss of time. Now, for loss of time, he is not entitled to recover a single penny. Mr. RYMER : In all the cases I have read, the parties must have had the very same expenses as this man, and yet they were disallowed. His HONOR: It has been expressly decided that loss of time differs from expenses. lam by no means prepared to say, that if you bring a man from the farther end of Tox teth-park down to St. George's Hall, you are not to allow him meat and drink while he is detained in town. You will not allow him to go such a distance back to his home to get them. Mr. RYMER cited a case in which a party residing in Spital-square, city, was obliged to attend the courts in West minster, and was disallowed any expenses of any kind. In answer to his HONOR, the plaintiff stated that he lived in Simpson-street, St. James's-street, and that he remained in court during the whole of the six days, without being able to go home. He also stated that he had to pay a person for doing his work in his absence. His HONOR That you cannot recover. My view of the law is quite clear that a man is entitled to his expenses, but nothing for loss of time. lam of opinion that a man can not refuse attendance even if offered no expenses; but after he has attended I do not know that there is any case to say that he is not entitled to look for any expenses, which he may have incurred. Mr. Exam:. said the case which he had cited seemed to come the nearest to the question. His HoNou. : I will look over the case you speak of between this and Monday, and if it goes as far as von contend, then this man will be entitled to nothing. fiis Honor, in the meantime gave a verdict for £l. CAUPIN v. Smrra.—A foreign gentleman, wearing a black moustache, and bearing the name of Julien Caupin, sought to recover ls. from Mr. J. H. Smith, of Lord-street, clothier, which amount he stated the defendant agreed to give him for teaching his son a new and valuable system of cutting. Mr SMITH stated that the plaintiff, who was a perfect stranger to him, came into his shop and told him he possessed a valuable system of cutting which he would teach him. After some objection and refusal, defendant agreed to give him a guinea provided he fulfilled the undertaking which hP offered to teach defendant's son, a youth of seventeen, in one lesson, to cut ouL, a pair of trnwserS for any man in Liverpool. He said he would make it so clear that the boy should be a perfect master of the system in five minutes. The plaintiff then cut out a paper pattern which Mr. Smith stated the most experienced cutter could not understand, much less a boy of seventeen. Mr. Smith here produced the pattern, which he held up for the inspection of the court. His HoNou : Well, is your son perfect in the system ? DEFENDANT: He is not perfect, and he cannot cut a pair of trowzers for any man in Liverpool, which was the agree ment. His HONOR; Are you willing to pay the man's expenses in coming here for the benefit you have received from the lesson ? DEFENDANT : No, sir, not a farthing. There was no value in it. I look upon him as an imposter wandering about from shop to shop, and it was for that reason I came here. His Herron said the only doubt he had was as to the nature of the agreement, whether it was merely to give a lesson in a particular system for a guinea, as to accomplish a certain result, as was stated by the defendant. As such a doubt existed, the plaintiff had failed to make out his case, and he should therefore give a ,verdict for the defendant. THAMES POLICE COURT, LONDON. TAKING IN AND DOING FOR A SAILOR.—Henry sailors' boarding-house keeper, of No. 3, Johnson-street, Back-road, Shadwell, was charged with having unlawfully detained four £5 Bank of England notes, the property of John Hall. Hall said he was paid off at Green's Sailors' Home in Poplar, and received a balance of £27 16s. Bd. for his ser vices, which included five notes for £5 each. Mrs. Wiggins was at the Home, and after he was paid off took him to her house in Johnson-street, and said that sailors were taken in and done for there in a proper manner. He delivered to her care the whole of his notes. Mr. Yardley : Did you count them over to her ? Hall : I did, sir. I was reluctant to deliver my money to her at first, but she told me I had better let her have them, and that she would put them in a drawer and lock it up, and let me have the key. She went up in to her bed-room with the money, and gave me a key from a bunch, and said that was the key of the drawer where my money was. She would not let me see the place where she had deposited the money. I was in her bed-room. The same afternoon she took me out, and I told her to bring one of my £5 notes, as I wanted to make some purchases. She gave it to me and took me to a jeweller's shop and selected a brooch, which she asked me to pay for; I refused to buy it, and she was very angry with me. I never received the other notes. On Thursday morning I told Mrs. Wiggins I wanted the rest of my money, and she looked at me, and said, "What money ? I have none belonging to you." I said, you know very well you have ; I have not lost my senses. I showed her the key, and said that was the key of the drawer in which the money wag, and she laughed at me and said she never had such a key. He demanded his money of the de fendant and his wife when they were both together, and they told him he was dreaming, and said they had none of his money. The complainant then produced the key given to him, and handed it to the magistrate. ' The defence was a sturdy denial they had ever had the money. Mr. Yardley said he had no doubt whatever Mrs. Wiggins received the five £5 notes, and unlawfully and fraudulently withheld four of them, and they had been under the defen dant's control. He asked the defendant if he would refund the £2O or take the consequences; but on his still declaring his wife never had the money, the magistrate made a formal order upon him to return it,"to pay a fine of £lO in addition, and in default, to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months. The wife of Wiggins, from the back of the court, here called out— I never had the money, it is a shame to rob us. Mr. Yardley : Oh, you are the wife. -You had better not be talking there, but go home and get the £2O. If it is not hereby 5 o'clock I will commit your husband to hard labour for six months. The wife took the hint, and in the course of an hour returned with £2O, which was handed to the sailor, and the prisoner was liberated, but not before the magistrate had read him and his wife a severe lecture, and advised thorn to be very cautious. . . . The woman, who impudently ,laughed at the magistrate while he was talking to her, demanded 128., which she said was owing to her by the sailor. Mr. Yardley : Go about your business. You intended to plunder the sailor of £2O. Leave the court instantly. BANKRUPTS. From the London Gazette of Last Night. EANERUFTCY ANNULLED. John.

SUGAR has only been taken to a moderate extent to-day, the sales being confined to 60 hhds Antigua, at 34s to 36s 9d; 40 hhds Demerara, at 34s 9d; and 50 hhds Porto Itico, at 34s 6d 19 cwt, all to the grocers. Nothing has occurred in MOLASSES. Of RuM only a small lot of Demerara is reported at about previous rates. COFFEE.-50 tierces Jamaica have been sold at former rates, and by auction, 800 bags Singapore chiefly at 48s to 48s 6d cwt, for sound. No sales of RICE.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.-YESTERDAY. Sharp frosts have again given way to a damp and equally chilly atmosphere, and the condition of new WHEATS in the agricultural districts, so much complained of since har vest, continues without improvement, while the estimate of deficient yield and inferiority of quality appears to have been rather under than over-rated; these objectionable cir cumstances may have contributed to the further decline in many of the country markets this week, as regards home grown Wheat, whilst other descriptions have undergone but little depression ; in the large importing markets, particu larly on this side of the kingdom, a continuance of greater firmness is manifested ; and, as the report of the closure of the Baltic ports is now confirmed, and that of the interior navigation of America immediately expected, with scarcely any old Wheat left in store at the former, and a much smaller quantity. of Wheat and Flour than usual on the sea board of the latter, it seems not improbable that supplies on the way from each direction, large as the'shipments may have been for several consecutive weeks, will be met by a good demand, more especially since millers, as long as causes for depression seemed to exist, have withheld from opera tions of any magnitude as much as possible. The late de cline in Wheat and Flour in this market has already brought forward buyers to some extent, chiefly for consumption ; the quantity at hand of the former has facilitated, but the limited stock offering of the latter has restricted, the trans actions of the past two days, though rather more money would have been given. Hitherto the receipts of Wheat from America have preponderated over those of Flour; for what little may be shipped during the winter, the opposite propor tions will prevail. We have a fair import of OATS and OATMEAL from Ire land, but, otherwise, the fresh arrivals of all articles are quite insignificant. _ _ At our - Exchange this morning, there was a large attend ance of town and country buyers : an evident disposition was shown to increase stocks, and an extensive business with consumers has taken place in WHEATS, at an improvement of ld to 2d per 701bs, over the currency of Tuesday last; a number of parcels was also taken to hold over. In FLOUR, likewise ; a good deal has been done, 6d to 9d per barrel advance being readily obtained, and buyers find ing difficulty in executing orders. BARLEY, 13Eitics, and PEAS experienced . but a retail sale, without apparent change in prices. • OATS and OATHEAT dull, and rather cheaper. . INDIAN CORN iu fair demand for feeding purposes at full rates, and there is a speculative inquiry for the finer descrip tions of both yellow and white.

TEA.—The market has been inactive throughout the week; some small parcels of common congou with short prompts have changed hands at easier rates ; in all other descriptions sales are limited, but no alteration can be quoted. At an auction held yesterday of 1,000 packages, 700 chiefly with all faults went off with spirit, at good prices. The sales of East India drysaltery articles continue only to a moderate extent ; 10 chests ordinary lac dye sold at 6d per lb. ; a few bales munjeet at 30s ; 570 pockets Bengal turmeric at 12s 6d per cwt. ; 400 cases castor oil, at 43d for middling, and 5d per lb. for fine, and 800 pockets of cowries, at 42s per cwt for dead shells. 900 bags of saltpetre sold at 27s for 9 per cent., and 29s 6d to 30s per cwt. for finer quality. Of nitrate of soda, 500 tons sold to arrive at 17s 6d to 18s, and 150 tons in store at 18s 3d to 18s 6d per cwt. GUANO.—Upwards of 1,500 tons have been sold at full prices. The business in DYEWOODS consists of 27 tons Sapan wood at 121. I2s 6d to 121. 15s ; a small parcel of Lima wood at 131. 17s 6d; 20 tons solid Nicaragua wood at 101. lOs to 11/. ; 30 tons Tobasco logwood at 71. 10s, and 150 tons fustic, at 61. 10s to 61. 12s 6d for Maracaibo, and 51. 17s 6d to 61. lOs per ton for Ceara. No sales reported in turpentine, tar, or rosin. ASHES are steady, at 32s for pot, and 29s per cwt. for pearl, but demand limited. CLOVERSEED in limited demand, at rather lower rates.. 2,500 bags linseed have been s ►ld ex-ship and to arrive, at the quotations. 400 bags Bombay rapeseed at 48s per quarter. )EllDEs.—About 810 'vet salted Ceara, have been sold by auction at 4d per lb., ;tad about 12,000 dry River Plate horse, but the prices have not transpired. BRIMSTONE has been.neglected this week, the sales being barely 100 tons, and• prices a little easier. ' Small sales of Oporto ARGOLS have taken place at 50s to 52s 6d per cwt., but TARTARS have been little inquired for. In SUMAC, about 350 bags have been sold, at 16s 6d to 17s 6d per cwt. for Palermo. 100 bags Baltimore QUERCITRON BARK brought 7s 3d per cwt. - OLIVE OIL has been in limited demand, prices being without change ;40 tans have been sold. About 40 tuns SEAL OIL aie reported at the quotations, and 80 tuns COD, on 'the spot and to arrive, at £34, and 10 tuns SPERM at £BB to £9O per tuu. Pale RAPE and LINSEED OIL are in moderate demand, at 43s 6d to 44s for the former, and 30s 6d to 31s per cwt. for the latter. 250 brls. American SPIRITS of TURPENTINE are reported at 56s per cwt. PALM OIL,—In the early part of the week there was con siderable inquiry for arrival, and 1000 tons sold at £4O lOs to £4l ; on the spot there has been less done, the sales being under . 200 tons, at £4O to £4l per ton. The TALLOW market is flat; Petersburg Y.C. nominally 56s 6d to 57s ; small parcels of Taganrog brought 565, and South American 55s to 56s per cwt. In LARD nothing doing, quotations nominal at 57s to 58s per cwt. The only sale of JUTE reported during the week has been a small parcel of common quality, at auction, at £2l lOs per ton. ORAIN.—WREAT has met a good consumptive demand, at 2d per bushel advance on the week. FLOUR is also 6d to 9d per brl. dearer. INDIAN CORN is again is per quarter lower. Irish OATS are dull, and rather cheaper.. Egyptian BEANS sell slowly, at 48s per 480 lbs. COTTON.—The demand for cotton has been very uniform this week, the sales scarcely varying from 6,000 bales per day, and the market has been quite devoid of animation. The American advices concerning the crop present no new feature, beyond the continued falling off in the receipts at the ports, which are now 285,000 bales less than at same period last year; prices, for some cause not explained, had advanced considerably at New Orleans. The home con sumption is still curtailed to the full extent, noticed in our last circular, so that spinners do not require a large supply, and they still confine their purchases to the supplying of their immediate wants. Under these circumstances, Ame rican descriptions have not met a ready sale, nor do we con sider the market firm, except for such qualities as are Cdthparatively scarce, say at the range of 51d. to 6td. per lb. Brazils are in tolerably fair request, and prices unchanged. den and Egyptians are still heavy an d i rregu l ar . A good and i's still experienced for Surats, but they are somewhat heavy of _----- erio sale, owing to recent large imports. 3,12 0 bales AT so t. 40 Pernam, 230 Egyptian, 260 Madras, and 2/82Z32,61 have been taken on speculation and for export, an . bales by the trade. The actual export is 630 Ainenc Brazil, &c., and 2,490 East India—in all 3,180 bales. Sea Islands were offered by auction on the 7th instan.ll. ll only about 500 bags were sold, at a decline of fully2oubajo lb., but at irregular prices. The sales to-day are 62° u , + , of which 1,000 are taken on speculation and for exP ° ', o lo PnovisioNs. In the face of the high prices at BEEF has opened in America, our market remains nilig same dull and unsatisfactory state, the sales being tr'elti in the extreme, and the dealers seeming more thcieste determined to keep out of stock. A small parcel of ness l i on tel has been received this week per steamer, but has 'Si been put on the market. PORK is dull, with a del sy tendency ; there are arrivals of new French this viel ree lp of new American. BACON seems likely to move ninr e . r ifol and, at the prices which are now taken for old, ,rly of new will not compete with it. LARD is per cwt. without leading to an increased di spring delivery 52s has again been made. ' readily, without variation in price. T.A.m.ov part of the week was dearer, but is now flat quotations. LINSEED CAKE is lower 5s per corn market this week there has been a sti not extensive, demand for consumption, and pi consequence been rather hardened, WHEAT 11, at ld to 2d over last Friday's rates, and Flour barrel. To-day there was increased activity, advance of ld per 70 lbs on WHEAT, and 6d FLOUR was established; INDIAN CORN, Ogrs, 0 though quiet,were all more firmly held. MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE.—Y" From the circular of Mr. Thomas Swalb exchange, we take the following extracts : " Throughout the week buyers have acted reserve, and prices for most articles •have hag tendency ; holders firmly resisting any declin , sales of nowt have been more free the last the extreme depression noted on Thursday last. "This day's market is well attended, a firm , vails, and the decline in price is less extensi , week, still the following reduction must bi WHEAT, 2d V 70 lbs ; on FLOUR, 6d to is flour is not offered lower,) and on BEANS, old qr, OATS and MEAL bring last day's nominally easier to purchase.
