COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Tnis DAY.

POWELL V. BRADRURT AND EVANS.—The Attorney-
General, in the case of Powell against Bradbury and Evans.
tried before the Lord Chief Justice in London, on the Bth of
July last, in which a verdict was found for the plaintiff for
5001. damages, moved for a rule to show cause why
that verdict should not be set aside, and a new
trial had, on the grounds that the verdict was against
the evidence, and the damages were excessive. It was an
action of assumpsit, the plaintiff alleging that he had entered
into en engagement with the defendants, the proprietors of
the Daily News, to terse them faithfully in the character of
sub-editor, at a given rate mentioned in the declaration-
-151. a week ; sad the declaration alleged a wrong dismissal.
The defendants pleaded, first non assumpsit; secondly, that
they did not wrongfully, and without reasonable and pro-
bable cause, dismiss or discharge the plaintiff from their
employment, modo et forma ; and, thirdly, they alleged the
special grounds which induced them to dismiss the plaintiff.
The Attorney-General having read this plea, said the plaintiff
having established clearly hie dismissal, it became my duty to
substantiate this special plea, and, with the exception of one
paragraph, which his lordship wished to have specially found
—I mean the allegation of the garbled report—l proved the
plea to the very letter.
The lord Chief Justice: The note I made at the trial was,
" I think this verdict wrong, and that all the plea is proved
except the allegation of the garbled account."
The Attorney-General : That is just what I have stated,
my lord; and of course I will not submit further remarks on
the evidence.
The Lord Chief Justice : You had better state to the court
what the evidence was,
The Attorney-General then proceeded at some length into
the evidence upon the trial, and having concluded, the
learned judges consulted for two or three minutes, after
which,
The Lord Chief Justice said : You may take a rule.

PRODUCE.—MINCINO-LANE, Ilalfpast Two:
public sale of 3,000 bags Mauritius, and 1,000 bags of
Bengal Sugar went off with spirit at exl. to Is. advance, and
the public market closes for the weak with a decided im-
provement, and an opinion pretty generally exists that this
article has seen its lowest. Refined steady. Lumps,
52a. to 55.. -- The public sales of Coffee are pre-
, gresaing steadily. Rice steady, without alteration
in prices. Cotton remains dull. Rum has become
rather more steady.—ln other articles no alteration ; but it
may be observed that holders of produce have not pressed
Tales this week, while buyers have shown more confidence
than for some time put, which is the natural consequence of
very low prices, with an improvement in credit and increased
facilities in the discount market for legitimate commercial
bills.

tion. Petersburg Y. C. on the spot, 4.5.. ltd. ; all the year
delivery, 445. 3d; January to March delivery, 455. 6d.

CORN.—MARK-LANE.—The arrivals of all de-
scriptions of grain and Flour since Monday have been mo-
derate. The unproved tone of the country markets held
during the week has induced holders of both Wheat and
Flour to demand rather higher rates., which has had
the effect of checking sales ; and in very few in-
stances were they enabled to exceed the quotations
of Monday last. There was very little Batley at market
this morn', g, and its value was maintained. The demand
for Oats we+wry far from extensive, nevertheless, owing to
moderate supplies, buyers could not supply their wants on
any better tentm—Beans and Peas as last quoted.
