SEEDS.
A fair amount of activity has, during the last week,
characterised the agricultural seed trade. Trifolium
inearnatum is in good request, at late rates, stocks,
as noted in our last, are now reduced quite low.
Some considerable arrivals of new English mustard
seed have taken place during the last few days,
the bulk of which has gone into the hands of
the manufacturers. For sowing rape seed we now
have a better inquiry; fine qualities are rather scarce.
New hurne•grown canary seed is now offering. Winter
tares, having come to hand more freely, show a
further decline in value. In sowing rye there is a
fair trade doing, at last Monday's quotations.
Clover seeds are at present neglected. For foreign
Italian we have a good inquiry. John Shaw and

LOVE IN A COURT OF LAW.

In the City of London Court of Law, on Weibielolay the
my.. of France., y.111,•.11.4 wAtiarAni.

In this case the plaintiff, who carned on business ILA an
importer of fancy goods in Aldcrsgate-strout, sought to
recover against the defendant, a fancy stationer in taou-
cester, the sum of £2 .1d for goods supplivvi. The defen-
dant pleaded never indebted.
Upon the case being called on, the learned judge hiquirod
of the defendant whatdef cure be had.
The defendant replied that the g/ssls sued for were
valentines, which hail been ordered from the plaintiff's
traveller to he supplied by the 7th I,f February, and were
not delivered until the 12th, in consequence of iohich he
considered himself justified in sending them back. 'They
were articles which were only saleable prior to the eve of
St Valentine's Day, and in comenuenvu of their being
delivered no late as the 12th they were worthuheauto him.
The learned Judge: When is St. Valentine's Day
(laughter).
The defendant: 14th February. your Honour (renewed
laughter).
The plaintiff said the goods were fancy "lova tokens"
from Coventry, in various forms, and were not valentines
at all, lie had supplied them us soon ti., possible if ter
receiving the order through the traveller.
The learned judge ordered the parcel of goads in question
to he opened, and it was found to contain stall culposo-4
cards, trimmed with Coventry ribbons, and bearing love
mottoes. . .

The defendant said one entitled " Love'. Offering" was
ripropls of a valentine.
The learned Judge: Let we hear it read (laughter).
The defendant :
" This little tribute which I send
I hope you will receive.
And keep It for the sake of One
Who never will detwive."

The learned Judge: They are few and far between
(renewed laughter).
The plaintiff said the order was never undendood to he
one for goods intended to he said for valentinc.i. They were
merely love tokens manufactured in Coventry for every-
day sale in London alld the country.
The learned Judge decided that the goods were not
supplied in a reswonable time, and gave judgment f..r the
defendant, allowing him £1 lEe, travelling expenses for
coining up to defend the summons.

MILTON ABBAS.

TRSTINONIAL TO THE BARONESS HASBRO. - The kind-
neat of Baron liambro to those working on his estates has
often been the subject of remarks in our column; and is
very much appreciated by these who are it recipients.
But whilst the Baron cares for the men in his employ,
the Baroness is none the less energetic in attending to the
wants of her poorer neigh, lours, and Del ping them to advance
spiritually and socially. and that these kind efforts are
valued has been clearly demonstrated during the past
week. For along time there has been held in Milton
Abbas a "Mothers Meeting," which all the tuothers on the
estate are cordiallyinvited to attend. These meetings are held
every Tuesday afternoon, when • needlework class is
formed, for making useful gartnenta for the families,
material for which is purchased in the room at reasonable
prices, and as an encouragement to those attending, two-
pence on every shilling spent is headed back to the
purchasers. But this is not all. They receive advice
and instruction as to the best way to make the most of
tie materials they purchase, and whilst all are busy with
their needles they have the pleasure of listening to
suitable and instructive readings, which are given weekly
bythose ladies who attend fur the Barone. and who
also take an active part is all that concerns the
well being of those

needed. We had a short supply of store mule, and
the trade was wretchedly quiet, holders accepting
almost any offers to affect sales. Mikh cows were
not over plentiful, but the business transacted was

Markets.

TIIE BRITISH CORN TRADE.
I Although a partial reaction from last week's great
' change in wheat prices cannot be acknowledged ;
there is
.a degree of resistance existing against still
lower prices, which is a good sign that growers are
taking heart, and fancy that value 'has sunk low
enough. At all events, after bringing samples to
, market very freely at first, farmers are now acting
with general caution, hoping to get nearer 6s a bushel
for their corn than ss ; and meanwhile to thresh out
and market barley which has already sold, in some
markets, at rather over the currencies of wheat.
With the exception of the slight change in feeling
referred to above, the position of the grain trade is
unaltered in its main aspects. The English yield is
proving better than expected in most districts. In
Scotland and Ireland the progress and results of
harvest are quite satisfactory, and the references to
, foreign harvests are undoubtedly in favour of a
plentiful and cheap year. But then if there be causes
for cheapness, that is not a good reason for foolish
cheapness to prevail, a conclusion to which recent
steps were leading buyers and sellers. Stopping in
time, it may be hoped the downward tendencies in
value will be checked and restricted to moderate
limits. This year the British, foreign, and American
farmer: will be contended (and we venture to add, so
will the English people) with a fairly low level of value,
and at such level the wheat trade will naturally keep
if only hasty sellers and speculative traders will leave
it to its natural course. _

Millers rather press their flour on buyers, and quo-
tations are unsettled ; market circulars vary from 335
to 365-38:s to 405 for the same marks—Norfolk,
which really are selling at from 35s to 311.
The estimated stocks of grain in London at the end
of August, are thus published. Wheat, tBO,OOO qr ;
barley, 17,900 qr ; oats, 147,000 qr ; maize, 64,000
qr. At the end of July, wheat, 152,508 qr; barley,
29,998 qr ; oats, I 10,568 qr ; maize, 19,0368 qr.
Flour in July, 214,575 cwt. 'Flour in August,
225,1703 cut,
Wednesday's market was, as usual, very sparsely
attended. English wheat was of slow sale and
rather cheaper, for forei.„.m sorts buyers also had a
slight advantage. En„alish and foreign flour was
neglectol, and changed hands only at some reduction.
Itean., peas, and maize kept finn at Monday's rates,
but barley still lost ground; and value tended down-
wards. Oats were steady in demand at Monday's
reduction.

The country markets of Tuesday and Wednesday
exhibited increased steadiness.

ELOPEMENT FROM WEYMOUTH

_
Wevinouth is excited to-day (Monday) by gossip
respecting the elopement of a young lady, whose father
holds a prominent position in the town, with a young
man she was courted by "on the sly." The parents did
not give their consent to the courting, and when they
bound the daughter (who is between 17 and 18) had gone
off, they followed them toe western port, with • warrant,
supposing they might have some of the father's property ;
there was a violent scene with the young man; but the
warrant was not executed, and the young lady's father at
length agreed to let the course of true love run smooth.
and he remains in the city of refuge to arrange for the
wedding, which was to take place, aU being well, (to-day)
Monday. All good wishes attend the happy pair!

RAILWAY ACCIDENT TO THE WEYIIIOITTII
EXPRESS.
On Wednesday afternoon an alarming accident
occurred to the express train that left Waterloo for Wey-
mouth at ten minutes past two. About a mile from
Esher a shock was felt by the passengers. This was o_,_..wing
to the metals at this point having just undergone row-
ing, which caused oscillation over the new roadway.
The tntin, which consisted of twenty carriages, was
brought to a standstill just outside the station, and
it was then found that the engine had broken loose.
And that the two last carriages were off the rails,
the rear break-van being literally smashed to
atoms. This van had come into violent contact with
the brickwork of a bridge known as the Long Arch,
which spans the Portsmouth road. The shock was
as great that one portion of the van rolled down the
embankment on which the line is constructed at this Point.
In this break were two guards, one of whom. Roach, was
very seriously 'injured, having three ribs, his right arm,
and left leg broken, besides being Mut about the head.
None of the passengers were seriously the worse, although
some in the back part of the train were much shaken.
The first-class carriage nest the break-van was damaged,
and its occupants had to be removed to another part of
