tor manure, plaintiff had no claim, inasmuch ea the cove-
nant was, that he should um nitrate of soda and bones,
whereas he had applied other substances instead, which had
done no good to the laud.
Th.? Master of the Rolls said, the question was, whether
he was precluded hy the derma of ihe court, and he was
of opinion that he was not. it was clear, from the lease,
tins no rent was duo until 28th Dicember, 1840. He
dosid, therefore, allow the exceptions as to one year's rent.
With regard to the compensation for =more, plaintiff did
not act in conformity vitth the covenant, and the exception
on that ground must be disallowed.

A (woof considerable importance, as it affects the liability
of solicitors for acts done by their partners acting in the
character of trustee, hut which the plaintiffs insisted in-
volved also the character of solicitor and client, occupied
the attention of the court the greater part of yesterday and
to-day,

Thel cue was of importance to the parties to the cannel
but the whole question turned on the conduct of a soliciteel
now dead, in which a claim was made against a solicitor, ag
whom an imputation was suggested as the legal USW
stwoce. The cue involved painful questions, into wall It
is impossible to enter with justice to the parties.
The Vice-Chancellor thought the conduct complains' of
was attributable to the deceased solicitor in hie chariot of
trustee, and not as 'elicitor, and dismissed the bill with
oasts".

THE QUERN O. MAJOR.—PERJURY.
In this case the defendant had been found guilty of per-
jury in an affidavit in a suit in Chancery. Mr. Serjeant
ytes (Mr. Collier with him) now moved for the judgment
of the court.
Mr. Justice Wightman, in passing the sentence of the
court, said there could be no doubt that the defendant had
wilfully and corruptly committed the crime of perjury,
which was a great offence against the law, and sapped the
very foundation upon which the administration of justice
rested. The court was glad to find that the defendant had
ceased to be an officer of- the court before the defence was
committed, or its enormity would have been greatly aggra-
vated. The sentence of the court was that the defendant
should be imprisoned in the House of Correction at Read-
ing, at hard labour, for two years.
The defendant was removed is custody.
LOWNDES r. THE EARL OF STAMFORD AND WAR-
RINOTON.—JUDOMENT.
In this case, which came before the court upon demurrer,
and was an action for breach of covenant, by which the
plaintiff claimed 1,0001. a year for having been dismissed
from the office of auditor and manager of the estates of the
defendant, without sufficient cause, and the argument upon
which we reported • few days ago, the court now gave
judgment for the plaintiff on the material count in the
declaration.

Fs. PARTE JOHN IIAYLOCC.-HABEAS CORPUS.
Mr. Prentice having a few days since o►tained a rule for
a writ of habeas corpus in this case, the prisoner, John
Haylock, was today brought up.
It will be remembered that he was taken before the Rev.
0. H. Sparke, magistrate, at Ely, and charged with having
written on the pavement the words, " Donkey Watt, the
Railway Jackass," referring to Mr. Watt, the railway sta-
tion muter. He (Ilaylock) was ordered to End sureties to
keep the peace, and being unable to do so, was mint to
prison for three months.
Mr. Wallis now appeared in support of the magistrate's
decision, contending that it was a libel, and that there was a
power in such a case for the justice to convict.
Mr. Justice Coleridge ordered the prisoner to be dis-
charged.

GIBBS AND ANOTHER V. FILSMONT.—BILLS OV EXCH /NOB.
In this cue Mr. Baron Alderson had made an order for
the inspection of certain bills of exchange, letters, and
protests, in the possession of the plaintiffs. Subsequently
Mr. Willes obtained a rule calling upon the defendant to
show why so much of the order us related to the letters and
protests should not bo struck out of the order, on the
ground that the documents were not shown to be either in
the possession or under the control of the plaintiffs.
The Attorney-Oeneral now showed cause against the rule,
and said that the action was brought on four bills of
Exchange which were drawn by the defendant, Colonel
Fremont, on the Secretary of the United States, in favour
of a person named Merman, who had made advances for
the supplies required by the United States troops who were
serving in Mexico, Colonel Fremont being the commander
of these troops and governor of California. Colonel Fre-
mont had stated that he had no intention of making him-
self personally liable for the bills of exchange, and that
Hutman well knew this when be received them. The bills
were dated in 1847, and the plaintiffs became possessed of
them in the month of June, 1850. About the latter period
Colonel Fremont was in this country, and just before the
day he had fixed for his departure he was arrested and de-
tained one night in custody, but was liberated on giving
security to the plaintiffs. The defendant had reason to
believe that the plaintiffadid not give any value for the bills,
and had received them with a full knowledge of the circum-
stances under which they were drawn. The lettenand pro-
testswere stated by the defendant to be lathe possessionof the
plaintiffs, and the reason that he asked for their production
was, that he considered them necessary for his defence to
the action. Tho other side did not deny the existence
of the document now, or that they were beyond their
control. .

—Mr. Wines, in support of the rule, contended that it
ought to be made absolute. The plaintiffs had given full
value for the bills to Ilutman, but although application wu
made to the United States government, they were disho-
noured, and the money had never been paid.
The court was of opinion that the affidavits on the part
of Colonel Fremont failed in showing any reasonable ground
foe belinvinag that any documents were in penetration of the
other die, which might support the case for the defence,
bet they thought it would be better that the parties should
ge again bath Mr. Baron Alderson, in eider that the affi-
davits might be amended, and the matter put into a shape
for a solemn decision.

A CHILD KILLED BY ITS Monlillim—Yoolierday
a woman named Chitty, living in Quarry-street, Guildford,
made a murderous attack upon her two female children,
inflicting such injuries on them with a large wooden mallet
that the youngest child, aged seven years, died in a few
house, and the elder one is so badly wounded that her re-
covery is extremely doubtful. The wretched woolen's
husband has been confleed in a lunatic aryl= for atone
time past, and there is no doubt that she herself le at pre-
sent labouring under a paroxysm of inanity. A onvoner's
inquest was held in the course of the day, and a verdict of
Wilful murder ageinst Maria Chitty" was returned. She
was committed to lionemonger-lane Gaol to await her

COTTON.—Ltvitaroot., NAY 6.—The sales of cot-
ton tortsy are estimated at 12.000 bales, of which so-
porttrs and speculators have each taken 10500 bah s.
Among the miscellaneous sorts arc 2,000 belts Egy:l-
lien, at :ad. to 71t. ; 1,000 Surat, at 31d. to 41d. ; 300 -Sea
Islatida chiefly, 1.70. to l9id. The market closed very
firmly, but with an increasing amount of American on
arena. Compared with Friday's prices, the rates of Ameriean
clear one-eighth dearer, end Surat nearly as much.
Sea Islands, id. per lb. higher, but other kinds little
changed;Tha imports since this day week have been

1257000 bales.
Magellanlnt, Mar 6.—We have had a tolerably active
market, and prices, which have been hirdening for
these ten days pmt, may now be quoted fd. higher for
several descriptions of water twist and mule. Good seconds
water may now be quoted from Bfil. upwards ; 30's good
seconds water from Old. to Old. Warps remain stiff and
spinners are well engaged, with sales of 24's good seconds
this morning at 8/d. per lb. In mule yarn, good seconds,
No. 40's, are in good demand at Bjd. fd. per lb., and 2(l's
at 71 to fd., according to quality. Cloths have not been
quotably higher, but have au upward tendency, and a fair
business has been effected. The news from Bombay by the
last mail was of a character to encourage business, snit ex-
porters have been tolerably active to that quarter. The
stock of cotton in Liverpool, which a fortnight back was
only 370,000 bales, has now risen to upwards of 750,000
bales, or 130,000 in excess of the quantity in hand this time
last year, but prices are firm, with great activity, and the
tone of the Liverpool cotton market has undoubtedly just
now great influence upon that for manufactures.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Norrmonkst,
May 6.—The hosiery business generally is in a healthy con-
dition, the drawer and shirt branches having become par-
ticipators in the improvement others bad previously re-
ceived. The hands now worst off are the glove makers, but
up to this time there has been no weather to warrant a
change of out door clothing. and until this takes place we
do not see much chance for improvement in the demand
rot these articles. The lace trade is still very far from being
in as health a condition as is usually the case
at this time of the year. Orders have been received, and
some American buyers are at present here, for both hosiery
and lace, but their attention seems more devoted to the
former than the latter trade. Their enquiry alter lace
goods is always for something new--something that has not
been seen on the other side of the Atlantic before. The
price of yarn is very firm, and an advance upon hosiery
yarn is speo..ily expected.—Notts Journal.

CORN.-Binunonms, MAT 6.-At Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the Ist, the wheat trade again ruled
dull, with the turn in favour of the buyer; little barley
offering, and not much wanted ; oats hold for full prices, but
only taken in retail; beans and peas unaltered. During
the present week we have again had very little passing in'
the trade, and lower prices have been accepted fur the few
parcels of wheat which have changed hands; barley sells
slowly at former rates ; oats held for quite as much money ;
nothing worth notice doing in beans or peas. At this day's
market, although the supply of wheat from the farmers was
short, the trade ruled dull at a decline of 64. to ls. per qr. ;
barley taken in limited quantities, at former prices; oats
sold slowly, and were rather lower • beans fully as dear.

BBIPTOL, Mar 0.-Our market was tolerably well
supported to-day with English wheat, but business was '
languid, and prices fur both English and foreign, as also for
flour, were, as our quotations will show, lower. Barley was
in moderate demand, and prices of both malting and grind-
ing parcels were firm. There was a steady, though not
large, business in oats at the late currencies. The prices of
beans were likewise maintained. The prices were :-
English wheat, 37e. to 435. per imperial quarter; foreign
white, 425. to 451. per 480 lbs.; ditto red, extra fine
qualities, 38s. to 41s. per 480 lbs.; fine qualities, 375. to

English beans, 30s. to 345. per imperial quarter ; foreign
ditto, 264. to 30e. per 480 lbs. The arrivals on shipboard
for the week have Seen : Oats, 1,000 quarters 2,500 barrels ;
barley, 1,100 quarters 1,760 barrels ; flour, 630 sacks 150
barrels. The official return of the corn inspector gives the
following averages :-Wheat, 40s. Id. ; oats, 195.44.; barley,
29e. 54.; beans, 335. 9d.
Dsvlsss, May 6.-We had a moderate supply of Wheat ;
there was a good attendance of buyers, and a fair amount
of business was done, at from le. to 21. per qr. below last
week's prices. Barley was in very short supply, and, con-
sidering quality, which was chiefly grinding, was fully Is.
gangs:. dearer ; all was quickly cleared off. In Oats,
and Peas no alteration. Wheat, white, 465. per
qr.; best red, 411. to:43s. ; middling, 355. to 41s. • inferior,

BZWBVILT, May 6.-We have this day a large supply of
Wheat, and a dull trade in consequence; a considerable
portion remaining unsold, although a decline of Is. to 24.
per qr. would have been submitted to. A moderate supply
of spring cora ; prices generally fully supported.
UIBRIDOB, May 6.-Our market is well supplied with
Wheat, and the sale is dull, at last week's prices; the beet
price made is 544. per qr. ; the average price, 465. per eq.
The trade in spring Corn is active, with a slight advance in
the value of Oats and Beans.
WATERFORD, May b. Without any arrivals since Satur-
day, our market continues very firm for every article in the
trade, and a fair amount of business has been passing in
all description of grain, at the full currency of last week.
Flour rather dull, but not lower.
EDINBLIZOB, May 5.-There was a fair supply of grain in
the market to-day. Wheat, although a little down on the
average, may be quoted as high as last week, from the fine-
ness of the parcels sold. Barley and Oats were the same as
last, while Beans were extremely heavy. Wheat, 38s. to
454. Barley, 265. to 311. Oats, 17s. 4d. to 235. 6d. Beans,

made.
