City of the weather has kept our market scantily supplied
with all descnptions of home grdwn grain throughout the
week. From abroad we have not had any arrival', and
coastwise only one cargo cf wheat, and one of Indian torn.
Our market has not undergone any change of consequence
since the day se'nnight ; a moderate amount of business
has been transacted in most articles, at about List week's
quotations. Wheat: The best runs of farmers' samples
sold readily at full prices, but secondary descriptions were
with difficulty disposed of at rather lower rates. Fawn,
in which the transactions were very limited, realised the
currency of Saturday last. Barley met with little atten-
tion, and we note no alteration in its value. Oats hare bees
in improved request, and buyers have had to pay an ad.
trance of 3d. per barrel. We have experienced a fair de-
mand for Indira corn, at urices which were not easily ob-
tained at the close of last week. Flour the tare lower.
Imports this week : Wheat, 753 qrs. ; Indian cora, 938;

change distributed, with the ezeeption of a small sum
mound's to about 138&, amongst the members in the !,
house, to whom Lodge was indebted for " differences" due
on the Baronet, to the exclusion of his other creditors.
This wasalleged by the plaintiffs to be a "fraudulent pre-
foresee," and farther that the transaction. were illegal,
being of a gambling character. The evidence adduced on
the part of the defendant proved that he had only acted in
conformity with the established rules of the Stock Ex-
change ; that he had no notice of the act of bankruptcy on
the part of Lodge ; and that the sums arising from the
"differences" were not of a gambling nature.
Ultimately the ease was turned into a special cue for the
opinion of the court, one point alone being left for the con-
sideration of the jury.
Lord Campbell, in addressing the jury said, that this ease
could not at present be determined, but there was one point
for their decision which, although it would not decide the
ease, would be an ingredient for the consideration of the
court before which the case would come. The question was
whether it was the intention of Lodge and thou with
whom he dealt, that the °entracte were to be for the sale
and purchase of stock, or that those contracts were merely
to he settled by the payment of differences when the account
day arrived. If it had been the intention of the parties at
the time the contracts were entered into, that they were to
be paid for, the transactions were legitimate, but if on the
contrary it had been well understood betweea the parties
when they entered into the contracts that the differences
alone were to be paid, it was nothing more nor less than a
wager on the rise or fall of the market. These bargains
might have been bargains for time, if so they were per-
fectly legitimate, but that was a matter for the consideration
of the jury.
Thejury having retired, returned into court and gave the
following verdict:
°We find that the majority of the transactions brought'
before as were entered into by Lodge, and were of a specu-
lative character with en intention of merely settling diffe-
rences, but we cannot say that both parties at the time the
contracts were entered into understood that they were only
to pay and receive the differences."

SECOND COURT.

ROM AT laft TIICSOLT
London, England, 1855-02-20

unanimous vote (20th September, 1792) for the abolition of
royalty, the estatit:shment of a republic, and the declaration
)cur that that ar was the Year I. of the French itepublie' 111
and b'. family were already in prison, sad the greet
PlAWads of the autumn of 1792 was the debates which
precede the arraignmect of the king, and which intervened
between the trial and the caseation. That execution took
plane ca the 21st of January, 1793, and it was this event
w`dich, so far as this country wee coweerand,eaddealy eon-
voted a preying usutrelity into a sluts cif Mild
mer.
„I say suddenly converted; for thmisabosisat evi-
dence to prove that so firmly persuaded...le s deem of
the resolution of Mr. Pitt to preserve pease • keg as pos-
sible, that in no branch of trade was there the least appear-
, anise of doubt or ampules ou the ground of apprehendtd
war, till within a few weeks of the actual outbreak; and
until it became obvious that with ea inundiary govern-
• mint, like that which had possessed itself of power in
France, it would be impossible to remain on friendly or
even neutral terms with that country. Even so late
as the 20th December, 1792, five weeks only be-
• fore the outbreak of? the war, the vote takes
for the sea and land force* for the year 1793
• was for only 20,000 seamen and 6,000 marines for the navy,
r at a coat of 1,300,0001. ' • and for 17,344 mon for the aymy,
at suet of 679,1741. When war had been declared, the
• addition made (11th of February, 1793) to the navy wu
• 20.000 men (1,040,0001), and to the army 9,945 men
, (437,8371.); additions which subsequent experienos bitterly
taught us were far too small.
. There can be no reasonable question but that oar mau-
-1 lotions on continued peace bad led to such a reduction of
establishments that, when hostilities !sal to be commenced
. in 1793, we were, in the most emphatic sense, unprepared
• to carry them on with vigour; and, if further evidence bad
• been required on this point, it has been recently furnished
. by the publication of the correspondence and papers of
General Sir Harry Calvert, who, as aide-de
cam to the
• Duke of York in the campaigns of 1793 and 1794 p -6, is •
I perfectly c,mpstent witness."

ADNAII V. DODD/LTG AND

Mr. Skinner appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Haw-
kins for the defendants.

Thu action wu brought against the defendants, who are
auctioneers and estate agents, in the City, by the plaintiff,
who had employed them to put in a distress for rent on one
of his tenant's goods, for not having taken in such distress
the goods of a lodger which were on the premises.
The defence waetkat in several former distresses which the
defendants had put in on the same premises, by the order of
the plaintiff, they had been directed by him not to touch
the goods of the lodgers in the house, as reason for put-
' ting in the distresses was merely to get rid of the tenant,
' and not to injure as lodgers. They had in this instance
been told to put in the distress " as usual," and accordingly
the had not seised the goods of the lodgers.
The jury band a verdict for the defendants.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. to
The directors' report and the accounts of this
company
-
company for the last half-year have just been issued. These la
accounts are the first in which a comparative statement so
could be exhibited of the income and expenditure for two lb
half-years under the combined working by this company of at.
the Eastern Counties, Norfolk, and Eastern Union Rail- ;t-
-wirl, and from which it appears that the gross for '"`•
40
the half-year ending 30th June, 1854, was 656,6491. Os. Id.,
and for the half-year ending 31st December, 18.54, 633,1811.
14s. 63 The increase of traffic is therefore 77,6321. 14s. 4d ,
which has been earned with an increase in the expenditure __4l
of only 8,7721. Os. Ild., thus reducing the rate for the IN
working expenses from 48 per cent. on the previous half- 111.
year tu43 per cent. on the past half-year. The net revenue e
t 3 the credit of the Eastern Counties Company for the past to
half-year is 239,5271.110.4 d., from which has to be deducted
interest on mortgages and preferential stocks amounting to Si.l
132,3561. 17s. 3d., leaving 107,1701.145. Id., which, together 21*
;
with the balance of 6,6621. 9s. 10d. from the previous half- 35
year, makes a total of 113,7331. 3e. 11d. applicable to die'. se
dend, out of which the directors have declared a dividend 124
of 7.. per share, carrying over 11,6421. to the credit of the 15
current half-year. The eacital account shows au additional
expenditure of 207,5521. 19s. Ild., consisting of outlay on ;`,
new rolling stook, for land purchases, and costs for new 31
works, do. On the other hand, a farther sum has been 10
raised on this arcount of 216,7691. 7s. Bd. to meet such ex- 15.6
penditure, and a balance of 47,3701. Os. 6d. remains unex- 8t•
pended. Tbe statement of the bond debt shows that the ;`(,)
amount paid off during the half-year is 154,2001., that the ss
amount raised is 373,100!., leaving a net increase in the -
amount borrowed of 220,9001. The locomotive superinten-
dent reports that the whole of the engines, tenders, car-
riages, waggons, &c., are in a good and (Select condition.

A singular instance of the extreme severity of tke frost
on the night of Wednesday last, the 14th instant., was ex-
hibited in an unfortunate duck in the farm-yard of Walton
Lodge. The upper mandible was frozen to the lower, so
that when discovered, though well in ether respects, it was
unable to use i's beak or to make any sound. It was, how-
ever, soon relieved of its icy muzzle, and rejoined its com-
panions without appearing to have suffered any further in-
convenieecis.—Derbyshire Courier.
On Tuesday, through the courtesy of Sir J. Paxton,
11. P., the members of the Sheffield Skating Club played •
game at cricket at Chatsworth, on what is known as the
"Emperor's Pond." The ice was in the finest possible
isondition, and only slightly sprinkled with snow. The
game was played with much spirit throughout, and
brought to a dote about six o'clock in the evening. The
respective scores were 160, and 104.—Siseffieki Examiner.
A corn porter who bas been a resident in Liverpool fit-
teen year, declares that he never remembers so long a con-
tinuance of easterly winds and severe weather. The num-
ber of corn porters out of work is about 2,000, and there are
about double that number of cotton porters and dock la-
bourers partially unemployed ; while it is estimated that
the number of labourers of all kinds, in the town, who are
unwillingly sating the bread of idleness, is not less than
1.5,000 or 20,000. When the frost disappears, however,
every branch of trade will be resumed with unwonted acti-
vity. As an illustration cf the extent to which the weather
has interfered with the ordinary trade of the port, we may
mention that in place of the usual Customs receipt of from
6001. to 2,5001. for duties on goods from the ship, the
amount received from this source in one day recently did net
reach a 501. note.

Lord Lucan has been recalled from the Crimea, in
consequence of differences which took place between him

sible for them to art together on the came station.

Loraine, and Mr. Denby Seymour.
. CARDIGANSHIRE BOROOOIIS.—Mr. Lloyd Davies

political principles are wall known, and his address iadi.
sates the coons he would adopt in parliament at this critical

The Irish Tenant League have been prepamos I
their friends for the discussion to take place in par-
liament next week on the Tenant Comreusation Bill,
by denouncing the amendments of which Mr. Hors-
man has gives Dodos on the part of government.
They say "that they have never looked upon the bill
introdeced by Serjeant Bhee as embodying their pin-
ci nlee, or calculeed to do lull justice to the tenant-
farmers or let land, and that, it they did nut openly
condemn and disclaim it, it was because the League
was unwilling to deprive the people of Ireland, (W-
-eeded and betrayed as they were by so many_ of their
represeutativee, of the little benefit it would confer,
even If that bill paged:" but they go further in their
condemnation of Mr. !imam% amendments, which
they pronounce to be "almost utterly destructive of
the property of tenants who have hitherto invested
their labour or their capital in the improvement of
their farms."
The weather continue decidedly favourable to the
growing crops, although we have had a considerable
quantity of rain, and comparatively but little warmth
during the last two or three days. All the cereal
crops are looking most healthy and promising ; the
potatoes are in excellent audition, some of the new
crop being already in the markets, and the face of the
country in general is moat cheering.

late production, is more afflicting to mankind than
their groping after territory. Consumption in
Earops before the close of 1883 had very generally
gone shoed of ve odestion. The lulu of golk.in
Europa qpd the pardal intension .facility of tin&
had-given s great impulse to manttfacturts, a esn-
sumptidit., and to tropes, Which was not 4seen-
pinked Sy a corresponding increase in the prods/don
*flood. There wee a growing derangement in the re-
lation between different industries, indicated by the
rapidly advancing prim in the cereals and other
articles of food, without a oorresponding advance in
the pries of manufasteres and colonial products. In
the main, this derangement was the result of various
restrictions on the industry of Europe. It was an
enormous evil, caused by the meddling Govern-
ments of Europe, which they had neither the
knowledge to foresee or appreciate, nor the ability
to correct. To blame the war for this is to divert
attention from the true cause, and give restrictions
a renewed life. The war, by sharpening the evil
and making it more conspicuous, will contribute to
direct attention to the subject, and to procure that
which is essential to general welfare—equal and per.'
feet freedom for every species of honest industry.
Till that be the general rule, society will continue to
suffer from over-production by one class and in one
place, and deficient production by some other class in
some other place ; and war will be rather the conse-
quence than the cause of dearths and of the derange-
ment of industry.—Daily Nam
