to accept Lord Mostyn's offer, tut they bad no power to I
sell except by auction. that thee were stilling to put tbe pto-
perty up to sale by anoVon, and if Lord Most) n should albni

become the purchaser at that sans; but if there was a

bidding at the sale, it should be accepted. And Lord higher

to purchase the interest of the vasiqneos, and to
pay 35,000'. for the same, and to pay aa annuity of 4001. to
Lady Champneys for her interest. And it was provided
that the contract should be deemed one entire contract.
And the assignees were to procure the assent of the creditors
to the arrangement, and tho sale was to be without reserve,
except so far as the bidding of 35.0001. by .or
Mostyn
might be considered a reserved bidding. By this arrange-
ment the waignees secuced a bidding of 35,0001. for their
interest. They procured the assent of the creditors, who
rimed a resolution that the reserved bidding should be
35,0001. ; end on the 10th November, 1838, the sale by auc-
tion took plsee. It was expressly stated in the particulars
of sale that this property was sold without reserve. There
was no reference to the contract with Lord Mostyn.
There were ninny biddings at the sale, and it was said that
a bi:ding was ultimately made, on behalf of Lord Mostvn,
of 49,8001., and that Wall, as agent of Flight, then bid
50,000/., who became the purchaser at that sum, and the
usual contract was signed. Sir Thomas Champneys died in
November, 18.39, and this bill was filed in the
his
following
April. The bill was to compel Mr. Flight to perform
contract. Performance was resisted on several grounds. The
first was that the estate was professed to be
sold without
reserve, and that no notice was given of the agreement
with Lord Mostyn, securing a bidding of 35,000/. His lord-
ship was of opinion that whilst the agreement remained in
force, the sale ought not is' have been professed to be made
without reserve. A reserved bidding was a right to make a
bidding to prevent a sale for less than a certain sum. Lord
Ilostvn hod entered into an obligation to advance the priee
to :0001. It did not appear to him to make any difference
witherht the bidding was made by the vendors personally
or their agent, or some other person, who, Cora consi-
deration moving from him, had enteiud in to

MONMOLTIISILIRE.—SIR,—I recently observed in your '
paper an observation, that the committee investigatincong
the state of education in Wales, were making
siderable progress, and were obtaining returns from
the respective parishes of the funds applicable to edu-
cational purposes. This reminds me of a circumstance •
which came to my knowledge about twenty-five years
ago. The late George Jones, of the Maindee, near
Newport, who was a magistrate for Monmouthshire,
and who died some years ago at the age of 90 and
upwards, possessed considerable property in Newport and
its vicinity; and amongst others some common field land
which was intermixed with lands claimed by Jones of Lla-
narth, Sir C. Morgan, of Tredegar. Re pointed out to
me an old building in Newport, then, I believe, let out in
private tenements, but which, when he was a child, was a
school, to which certain lands appertained for the education
of the children of the residents in Newport ; and some of the
lands above alluded to, which were I believe then in the
possession of Sir C. M., Mr. George Jones perfectly recollect-
ed to have belonged to the free-school in Newport. Should
you deem it right to draw the attention of the present com-
missioners to the above, it may tend to serve the cause of
education, which you advocate with such credit to your
journal. I am not aware whether this foundation school
was noticed in the former commission of inquiry.—A

THIS DAY. Four o'Clock.
At the Central Criminal Court yesterday the grand
jury returned a true bill for a misdemeanor against
John Charrctie, James Hallett, Ann Stewart, and Sir
William Young, Bart., a director of the East India
company. The three first are indicted as principals,
and the latter as Mail% and assisting, in the sale of a
cadetship in the East India Company's service, con-
trary to the provisions of the 49th Geo. 111.,

and d'Arbouvile, which had marched towards the
frontier, anticipating a fresh demonstration on the
part of Abd-el-Kader, had returned to Oran and
3lascam, and that the province of Algiers was per-
fectly tranquil. In the province of Constantine, there
had been disturbances near Biscara, which were sup-
pressed by General Bedesu, after some skirmish-
ing with the disaffected. Bon Maza, having
failed to incite the Kabyles to join the
holy war, had proceeded to the south-east, and
the Eniir had returned to his deira, near Zohra,
from an excursion undertaken in the Sahara of
Morocco. The French government has sent a mis-
sion to the court of the Emperor of Morocco, at the
head of which is M. de Chasteau, late Charge
d'Affaires. No official personage connected with a

Sir John Franklin, and the Erebus, in the command of Cap-
tain Crozier, the vessels sent out by the Admiralty in the

MONEY MARKET & CITY IN"TELLIGENCE.
The Rank of England averages for the week end-
ing the 21st instant, represent the following differences,
comparkon with those of the week before : In the depart-
ment of issue, the note circulation was increased by 71,5451.,
the full average of issue then being 28,317,8101. In circulation
action there was a decrease of 2042,0151.. the notes unused
having accumulated to that excess in the banking depart-
ment; the average of notes out among the public being
20,207.9451. The public deposits were, on average,
;,676,3901.; increase aver last returns, of 1,098,6131. In
"other" deposits the decrease was 20,304/. ; the average on
hand 7,975,0.58. In " other " securities thee was an in-

WAIEFIELD.—There has been rather more doing
in long Wuol this week, which has created a firmer feeling
with holders, and late quotations have been better sustained.
Short Wool is not heavy in stack, and maintains its price,
with an average business doing in it. The demand kr most
kinds of Wool is anything but animated, still for some de-
scriptions of low Wools there has been more doing nt full
rates. In Scotch there has been little or nothing doing,
still the stocks do not increase much, sad holden are firm.

WOOL.
BRADFORD.—There is no new feature in this
branch of trade. Everything remains very dull. Notwith-
standing this, prices keep very firm.
HALIFAX.--We have an improvement in the de-
mand for fancy fabrics, but for all ot.her kinds of goods the
market is as bad as ever. The Wool trade is exceedingly
languid.
LEEDS.—Foreign : We hare no change to report in
the foreign Wool trade this week, either as regards sales or
prices. English : Sales of English Wool have not varied
materially for the last few weeks. They are very small, and
confined to the supply of the immediate requirements of the
manufacturers. Prices are nominally the same as last week.

LIVERPOOL.—Foreign Wool has been in.good re-
quest during the week, and the business reported is pretty
considerable. Pries' are very firm, but still there is, on all
sales, a Leavy loss to the importer. A fair business has been
done in Alpacas, but at miserably low prices and the market
does not show any feeling of buoyancy. 'there has been a
little more inquiry for &etch, but there is no confidence to
purchase freely at present prices. Imports for the week,

The NEW BOTANIC GARDEN AT CAMBRIDGE if COM.
maned, the Vice-Chancellor having planted the first tree oa
the west side, near the spot intended 4.r the entrance on the
Trumpington-road. The Professor of Botany subsequently
followed his example, by planting another on the cast side of
the garden. Twenty men are actively engaged in deeply
trenching and levelling about seven acres of the ground in-
tended fur the immediate reception of as many of the prin-
ciple groups of the larger descriptions of trees as can be
procured before winter. The Curator, who is 'acalowily
superintending the work, has found both the depth and
quality of the BA much superior to what be had anticipated;
and lie considers even the poorest portions, towards the
south-west angle, perfectly suitable to certain tribes. The
gentle undulations over the whole twenty acres, and the
introduction of a large sheet of water, where the depression
is greatest, will tend greatly to break whatever of formality
it may be necessary to observe in the scientific grouping of
the various objects that are cultivated in a botaxic garden.

ance, and said he must consult his brother commissioners
before giving any decision in the matter.

CATTLE,
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 9.—We have little or no altera-
tion to quote with respect to our cattle market from our last
statement, u we have large markets of both Beasts and
Sheep, as far as number girl, but the principal portion of
both is of second-rate, and infcrior quality. Wo had • nu-
merous attendance of customers, and anything good was
eagerly sought after, and fetched high prices. Beef, bd. to

SALISBURY, Nov. 10.—The supply was short. Fat
Oxen sold well, as did also Cows at the prices of last week.
For Sheep prices were still high, and most of those on offer
sold early at the top term• of last Tuesday. There were a
few lean Oxen and Cows, which did not sell so readily. Fat
bacon Hogs, ready killed, were selling at 9s. to 10s. per
score.

GLASGOW, Nov. 9.—There was an ordinary sup-
ply of cattle at market to-day, and not many good Beasts
brought forward. Prices were a shade lower than our last
quotations. Best Stot Beef sold at 10,4 d. per stone of 22i lb.,

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

WARING Y. SMITH.—GAMBLING BY A BANKRUPT.—
Mr. Watson, Q.C., had, on a former day, applied to the
court for the discharge from custody of a bankrupt, whose
certificate and protection had been refused by a commis-
sioner of the Court of Bankruptcy, on the ground that he
had lost at play, at one sitting, more than 201. Application
had been made twice to a judge at chambers, but, having
been each time net by affidavits that alleged the loss at one
sitting of more than 201., bad been unsuccessful. Under
these circumstances, it had been submitted that the court
would review the decision of the judge at chambers, and the
court had postponed its judgment.—Lord Denman now said
that the court, on looking at the statute 5 & 6 Vic., c. 122,
was of opinion that it had not any jurisdiction in the matter,
ea the authority to grant the relief pray( d belonged exclusively
to a judge as distinguished from the Court. As in waiters of
personal liberty, the decisions of a judge were not to be
deemed final, the Court must not, in announcing its own in-
ability to entertain the application, be understood to prohibit
another application to a judge.
TER QUERN v. GORPERTR AND OTHERS. In this case,
which was partly heard yesterday, Mr. Rill, Q.C., resumed
his argum nt, and was followed by Mr. Peacock. Mr. Wat-
son, Q C.. with whom was Mr. Cowling, then addressed the
Court on behalf of Mr. Robert Witham ; but before he had
concluded was interrupted by Lord Denman, who postponed
the further diocusuion for the purpose of reading the WE-
I davits.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o Clock.
In consequence of the present high prices of provi-
sions, the short yield of the late harvest, and the con-
sequent demand for barley as an article of food, the
brewers of London are taking measures to remove
the existing prohibition against the use of sugar as a
partial substitute for malt in the manufacture of beer.
The following has been addressed to the Lords of the
Treasury :
" TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS

OP HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY:

" Humbly sboweth,—That they are smelt alarmed, in
consequence of the recent extraordinary advance in the price
of barley and malt, and therefore do most respectfully but
earnestly Tepees, nt to your lordships the necessity, in the
present exigency, to direct, by order in council, that the
restriction which prevents the consumption of sugar in the
brewery be forthwith removed, for the purpose of furnish-
ing the opportunity of ascertaining to what extent sugar
may now be used, in combination with malt, for the pro-
duction of beer and ale. The undersigned do not ask
for the removal of the restriction upon molasses, lest the
revenue might be affected--although, from the very limited
supply, this is scarcely worth a consideration ; but as sugar,
even from the British plantations, pays a higher duty than
malt, and from foreign states very much more, there is not
this objection to the removal of the restriction in the use of
sugar.
" Should it turn out that the crops of Barley in the United
Kingdom, and throughout Europe, are as deficient as is
apprehended generally, a further advance in the price is to
he dreaded, because it is difficult to find a substitute in other
grain for malt made from barley, which may produce the
favourite beverage universally consumed by the middle and
lower classes; while it is probable that experience may
enable the brewer to use a portion of from one•fifth to one-
tenth of sugar in combination with malt, without a material
change of flavour, and without prejudice to the landed
interest.
" Your lordships' petitioners solicit this alteration with the
greater confidence, being assured that the crops of sugar for
this season to arrive from the British colonies, as well as
from foreign states, are very much beyond all former prece-
dent abundant.
" May it, therefore, please your lordships to take your
petitioners' application into your favourable consideraton,
and to decide the question in such a manner as shall appear
to your lordships wisdom most advantageous to all clwses
of this great country, and that as speedily as possible. And
your petitioners will ever pray," &c.

less quantities, es hist week.
Extract from a letter addressed to Keeling and
Hunt, dated New York, Oct. 15.—" Our Ilop crop is much
larger than any previous year, and the growing of Hops in
this country is immensely on the increase. The growers aro
procuring the invoices of your best Kent county hop-growers,
and we must eventually ship large quantities of this article
to your country. We have a finer climate f,r the raising of
choice rich Hops than any other section of the world. We
grow more to the acre, and in every point of view, with the
exception of lahour, we can grow them at a less price than
you can. Under all these advantage., what can prevent us
from eventually supplying your country with Hops ?"

RAILWAY NEWS.

The market Was rather heavy yesterday, but prices
varied little. The public have not been so free buyers as for
some time past, as evinced by the scarcity of country orders.
The public sales were thinly attended also; most of the stock
and scrip put up was understood to be bought in, though ap-
parently passing the hammer.
The general tone of the Liverpool share-market was not so
good, and the daily business can hardly be said to be of a
healthy nature. Rumours of amalgamations and arrange-
ments, most of which have but little foundation, seemed to
be the order of the day, and lines which are very far front
being completed, and of which the prospects are by no means
certain, appeared to absorb all attention, whilst the old divi-
dend paying lines were comparatively neglected. Chester
and Birkenhead and Cheshire Junctions rose materially, the
former to 621, the latter to 2 premium. Birmingham and
Oxfords and Diadleys also continued in demand, and the
range of prices was considerably above the London market
of the previous day. Huddetifields, Dewsburys, and hirska
were lower.
_ .

The Manchester share-market was decidedly quieter ; still
a fair amount of business was done. Prices were, on the
whole, rather lower.
The business was again very brisk at Birmingham. Dud-
leys sc reely maintained the rates of the previous day. There
were sales at the commencement of business at 61, and at the
close at 6i p. Birmingham and Oxford Junctions were done
at 71, and ultimately at 7p. Shrewsbury and Birminghams
went up to Ils. 3d. p., with firmness on the part of holders,
ands tendency to a further rise. There were saes also in the
North Staffordshire at 31 p. Trent Valley Midlands (Re-
gistered) at p. ; Ambergates at 6s. 3d., and Stour Valleys
at ;p. Shropshire Unions closed respectively at 6s. 3d., and
Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordsbires at
21s. 3d. din. . . .

At Leeds the share-market still continued active, and a
fair business was transacted. There was a good deal of fluc-
tuation in prices, but not to any great extent in any given
line. The range of variation was about 55. per share, and
nearly as many lines declinectto that amount as advanced
by that sum. Leeds and Dewsbury closed at 111 pm.;
North-Wtsterns were in demand at 16s. W. pm. ; Dews-
bury branches advanced from 61 to 71 pm. ; Dewsbury Exten-
sion from 17s. to 225. 6d. pm. ; Ormskirks from4l to 41 pm.;
York and Newcastle (Preference), from 41 to 41 pm. ; whilst
Glasgow and Dumfries declined from 20s. to 10s. pm.;
Thinks, from 11 to 21 dis. ; Huddersfield and Manchester,
from 5 pm. to 41; Birmingham and Oxford, from 74 to 7
pm. ; and Matlock and Buxton', from 30s. to 265. pm.
At Bristol there was a flat market, and int little business
done. The following are the closing prices of some of the
leading lines :—Birmingham and Gloucester, 129; Birming-
ham and Oxford Junction, 81, 9 ; Bristol and Exeter, new,
4, 41 poi.; Bristol and Gloucester, 20, 22 pm.; Great Wes-

COURT OF REVIEW.

Ex PARTE FLETCHICIIL—RE PHILLIPS AND HAGUE.—
ADOPTION OP SUBSTITUTED LIABILITY OP NEW FISH.—
SET OFF.—In 1842 the bankrupt Hague carried on business
at Manchester, in partnership with • Mr. Woodhouse, as
East India merchants, and the firm employed the petitioners
as their ',agents. In June. 1842, the partnership was dis-
solved by the retirement of Mr. Woodhouse, Mr. Hague
taking upon himself, by the deed of dissolution, the payment
of the debts of the firm. One of these debts was due to the
petitioners. After the dissolution, Mr. Hague traded on his
own account, and had dealings with the petitioners, the re-
sult of which was a balance of 3811. in his favour. The
assignees brought an action against the petitioners for this
balance, and the latter now sought for an injunction to re-
strain the action, on the ground that by the conduct of the
parties the debt due from Woodhouse and Co. to the peti-
tioners had been converted into the separate debt of the
bankrupt Hague, and ought to tweet off against his demand,
It appeared that the bankrupt, Hague, ha a, in 1843, written
to the petitioners, who pressed for a settlement of the old
account, saying that they had retained 3811. of his, and were
therefore, as nearly as possible, covered ; and asking that the
closing of the account might stand over for a short time.
No further step was taken till the baukrupty, in February
last.—Mr. Swansea's and Mr. Dusk appeared in support o:

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Half-pad Tico.—The accounts from Paris to-day
and yesterday cone so favourable that an impulse has been
communicated to the funds this morning, a% indeed generally
to stock and share values. Consols are now 95 for money,
and 9x51 to for the ao-ount on the 15th of January, being a
rise a(3 per cent, with a market to all appearance firm, and
busloads more active. Being pay-day for the settlement, the
dealeiv were occupied with the winding-up operation.
We base rather more doing in foreign stocks, chiefly
Spanish, which have improved. The prices are now 251 to

DUBLIN, Nov. 25.
INSPECTORSHIP OF liCHATIC ASTLI:IIB.—This appoint.
molt still remains vacant. It is not true, as has been re-
ported, that the situation was conferred on Mr. O'Connell's
private physician, Dr. Nugent.
WATERFORD.—MEMORIAL TO THE QtELN.—A forci-
ble memorial had been forwarded some time since for
presentation to the Queen, and signed by nearly
un all the
clergy, and the station and property, of the yof
Waterford. The memorial besought her Majesty to take
steps that " the corn of Ireland be not taken from the pe
the
o-
ple of Ireland," and that it would not " be j
in
eyes of God or man to take away the produce of the land
from those by whose toil and industy it bas been raised, and
whose very existence depends on it," A reply has juit been
received to the memorial from Sir George Grey, simply
stating that he " has not failed to lay before the Queen the
address forwarded by Lord Stuart de Decies."
THE LABOUR-HATE ACT.
The Gazette of last night contains proclamations for bold-
ing baronial presentment sessions in eleven
of the additioourthnal
baronies. Three provinces and a large portion f
will soon have completed the requirements of the Labour-

Rate Act.
PRESENTMENT Sitssiosts.—A presentment sessions for the
barony of Owney and Arra, county of Tipperary, was held at
Newport, on Monday last, when it was agreed to commence
reproductive works. There was a very large attendance of
the peasantry, but few of the gentry were present, more
especially of the upper or head landlords, as they are termed
in this country. Several works fell to the ground in conse-
quence, as it has ben decided that in every case the consent
of the head landlord shall be given before any reproductive
work is undertaken. The sums presented at these ses-
sions and remaining of former presentments are, 11,7861.,
which, it is estimated, will maintain the destitute for three
months. The poor-law valuation of the barony is 32,3001.
per annum.
THE LATE SWAMI' CA/M.—BROWER V. COPELAND.—
Some of the delegates sat yesterday, to make arrangements
for hearing an appeal brought by Henry A Browne,
stns
barrister, now under sentence of transportation for bigamy,
against the decision of Dr. Radcliffe, Judge of the Ecclesias-
tical Court. Dr. R. decreed a divorce between Mr. Browne
and Miss Copeland, daughter of the the Royal
Bank, Browne having married Miss C. while his first wife,
Mary Downes, was
ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OP Insuorn.—The
Evening Mail, just issued, says—" Further secessions have
taken kolas* that fully justify the results to the society which
we anticipated. Amongstthose we may mention the Earl
of Shannon, Lord Enniskillen, and other gentlemen of sta-
tion and influence, who have withdrawn their names for the
romp/ which vve have ourselves alluded to,"

commanded a ready sale at fully prrvioris priets; and Oat-
meal has advanced la. to 2s. per load. Barley bas been
steady; and Beans have sold pretty ileely at previous rates,
as well as fresh new foreign white' Peas. At this day's
market, only a fatal' business was done in Wheat, without
any alteration in prime from last week, and there was no
eh in the value of Flour. The best Oats were 6d. par
boll, and Oatmeal met a rude sale at the advance
quoted. 'lmlay was steady ; but the demand not brisk.

COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY LNTELLIGENCE.
Half-post One.—The financial crisis has had the
effect, according to advices from Berlin, of causing the dis-
apparance of all foreign securities from the Exchange. The
millions of Dutch and Russian stocks with which the market
was before inundated have, it is said, taken other directions,
and Berlin capitalists it was hoped would be content to make
their capital fructify at home.
If the facts be as stated, and there is no reason to doubt it,
the scarcity of money which has been experienced at Ham-
burg for some time past, and which has led to a rise in the
rates of interest corresponding, say as high as five and six
per cent., comes sufficiently explained, and the same cause
will doubtless have partially contributed to produce the in-
creased value of money in Amsterdam. For they are the
two great marts for the securities in question, and, for Rus-
sian stocks, Hamburg more especially. It is not improbable
in such circumstances, that some capital may have left
this country for temporary employment in those places
on the security of, though scarcely for investment in,
those stocks.-2 Although in good repute, those of Russia are
not in much currency here. Latterly transactions in them have
been rather more frequent, as from the reports inWeteshall's
official list may have been observed; but they would be
saleable with difficulty in any large amount. Dutch Bonds,
on the contrary, are a very common article of investment
here, and as extensively of commercial dealing. They are
used indiscriminately, almost with Bills of Exchange in the
liquidation of commercial transactions, just as the operation
or calculation of prices and rates of exchange, shall appear
be more advantageous.
Half-past Two o'6:A.—The interview yesterday, between
the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the bank, and the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, has excited some attention
in the city, and given rise to various surmises.
One of them has it that the state of the Exchequer Bill
market was the subject of consultation, in reference
to advances which might be wanted from the bank
against an amount of deficiency bills to be lodged.
Were such the case, as from the state of the
revenue would hardly seem plausible, the discussion
would naturally turn to the state of the circula-
tion, and the possi•bility of a drain of bullion from unfavour-
able exchanges. The course which the bank proposed to
pursue would naturally be indicated. We may probably,

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
A morning paper, in a second edition, reports that
intelligence has-been brought by the merchant vessel Mary,
which left the Tagus on the 11th inst. ; of an American fri-
gate baring been fired into off Oporto from the bat-
teries, by which she was dismaried, and oblige
con •
d to
be towed into a neighbouring port. There is a
fusion about this report, which causes it to be
discredited in the city, so far as the frigate being
American. It is known that H.M.'s ship America, of 60
guns, left Lisbon on the Bth instant, avowedly for Comma,
and the belief is, that this must be the frigate referred to.
As Oporto is not en mac for Corunna, it may be supposed
in such case that the commander had other instructions than
those ostensibly indicated.
The publication of the letter of Senor Mendoza, warning
the bondholders that the financial agency of Messrs. Schneider
has ceased, and that the firm received notice by the last
packet of the revocation of its functions, has created
a sensation in the market. People naturally inquire
why the fact was not announced by the house in
question at the time, as, supposing Senor Mendoza's state-
ment to be corn ct, it ought to base been. The contrary,
indeed, was the ease. It was absolutely stated on behalf
of the house, in papers supposed to be in commu-
munication with it directly_ or indirectly, that the conversion
act was confirmed by the Mexican government, and that the
house was authorised to continue in carrying it out, as con-
tinue it did, and has done. It remains now for that house
to come forward with its explanation of the facts of
the case, which at rftwt are involved in a disagreeabld-
e,
not to say disae&table, ambiguity. But the bon
holders • also should be looking after their own in-
terests. 'There is some talk of convening a meeting of
