barley limited, principally Egyptian and Belgian. Oats
very short, mostly Danish. A parcel of beans from
Alexandria, and a small quantity o linseed from the East
Indies.

Today the English wheat which stood over from Mon-

last week. Foreign-a dull trade at about Monday's prices.
Floor my quiet, American barrels at Monday's slight re-
duction. Wintry markets little doing. Town made top
price fils.
Raley, beans, and peas, quite as dear as on Monday.

By. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. —The Bishop of London
has appointed the following gentlemen to be the preachers at
St. Paul's Cathedral on Sunday mornings in the monk of
May :—Sunday, May 4, the Rev. William Calvert, LA.,
of Pembroke College, Cambridge, minister of Keatish-tows
Chapel; flundittileay 11, the Ear. Thomas Jackson, LA.,
of Magdalen Oxford, rector of Stoke Newington ;

Queen's , oxford, vicar of Prompter' ; Sunder, May
25, the Rev. ohn Edward Kemp*, ILL, of Clan
Cambridge, Rector of St. James's, Piccadilly.
Emma/mom —The number of persona who have
emigrated from the Ring's County and Westmeath during
the last two or three months, almost exclusively to Queens-
land, is far in excess of anything hitherto known in these
counties. From the neighbourhood immediately surround-
ing Tullamore, over 900 have taken their departure,
when for ever; their passage money, outfit, /re.,
having been provided for, under certain conditions, by
• Roman catholic clergyman, sent from that distant
bat higblyattnrctive region for the purpose. A con-
siderable number of tradesmen were found amongst the
emigrants, as also small farmers and labourer,. From West-
meath the exodus has not been so numerous, but it is of
rather a superior clan numbering amongst their ranks
several country shopkeepers, tradesmen, email farmers, sad
lab.rurers. The desire to emigrate does not appear to be
in the least dwree abated, but rather increased by the ao-
eostate received from that far-off land ; and some very well-
to-do oerekeiable familia*, and industrious you', people,
are 'meanly carrying forward preparation for their Soper-
tan It is easeemeary to add that this emigration mania
stottay amemied, in these lorraßtiee, to mermlaws of the
catholic church, one of the inducements held out
being, that there is to be founded • colony exclusively of
poem of that awl.

Mr. CRAWFORD moved for • select committee to in.
quire into the °panties of the present scale of sugar duties,
with especial reference to their assessment upon • demi.
flostion according to the quality of the sugar.
The CHANCELLOR of the FACHEQUER said his only
objection to the notice was the fact that the committee
would be the third they had voted on commercial Questions
that night. No doubt it would severely task the strength
el the house to conduct the three inquiries simultaneously ;
but he trusted that hon. gentlemen would give their beet
assistance. It should also be distinctly understood that
the question of a reduction of the duty would not
come within the committee's instructions. Although his
hon. friend had announced that be had • leaning to one par.
ticular view, he was sure they might place the greatest
possible confideoce in the hon. gentleman's fairness and in-
telligence. (Hear, hear.)—The motion was 'greed to.

Sittings at NW Priva at Westrainater.—(Before Mr. Justice
Wiestman and a Common Jury.)
OL?WOOD V. LLZIANDIR—BIANDR.

This was an action for slander between two surveyors,
the defendant having charged the plaintiff with stealing
his billhook. The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Lite° and Mr. John Cooke were counsel for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr. Vaughan Williams
were counsel for the defendant.
It appeared that in October last the defendant
the plaintiff to do some surveying work at Kentish
at 5 guineas per week. The defendant afterwards sent the
plaintiff to do some surveying work at Dorking, and as he
would require the use of a billhook defendant lent him one
be bad Whim office. After plaintiff got to Dorking be in-
formed the defendant that be had been offered 6 guineas
per week, and that if he was not paid that sum he should
lases. Defendant declined to accede to the plaintiff's terms,
and be left the work, leaving the borrowed billhook at
his own house. The defendant wrote to the plaintiff oom-
plainieg of his conduct, and asking for the return of 51.
which the plaintiff had been paid, but bad left the work
nufinished, and said he should expose his conduct to the
profession. At a subsequent interview defendant told the
plaintiff that he had stolen his billhook ; that he should
treat him as a common thief, and send a policeman to his
hones if he did nut return the billhook. Plaintiff said he
should not return it until a policeman had been sent for it.
As the defendant had threatened to expose the plaintiff to
the profession, the hitter was bound to bring this action in
vindication of his character.
The defendant said he had been inconvenienced by the
plaintiff's conduct, and he was very angry with him. He
admitted that he told the plaintiff that be should treat him
as a thief unless he returned the billhook. Plaintiff after-
wards called on the defendant, and in the presence of a per-
son be brought with him, he asked the defendant three
times in a very offensive manner, "Am I'a thief r De-
fendant replied each time, "If you don't return the bill.

was by the day.
Ultimately the jury !seamed a verdict for the defendant.

MAIM v. PHILLIPS.—TALSI IMPRI4ONN6VT.
The defendant in this ems was • rag merchant, in Wei-
ner in Duke street, Bleekfriare, and the plaintiff. down to
Marek 1861, was in his service. On the morning of the
17th of October following two sacks of rap were found re-
moved from the defendant's warehouse and placed in a
yard adjoining ; and Mr. Goodhall, a neighbour, informed
the defendant that he had seen a man, whom he de-
scribed, leaving the spot in question early in the
morning of the 17th of October. In consequence
of this information suspicion fell upon the plaintiff,
and defendant went to his house and induced him to go out
to have something to drink. At the public-house, Good-
_ hall and a policeman were waiting, and Goodhall having ex-
pressed his opinion that the pleiutiff was the person whom
he bad seen on the morning of the 17th October, he wee

mitted for Mild, but was ultimately acquitted. The present
action was therefore brought, and the defendant pleaded a
special plea, setting out the circumstances which he con-
tended gays him good ground for suspecting the plaintiff of
the robbery.
Mr. Ribton and Mr. Daly appeared for the plaintiff ; and
Mr. Hawkins for the defendant.
The jury, after hearing evident* on both aides, expressed
their opinion that the defendant bad not remonable grounds
for believing that the plaintiff was guilty, and they amemed
the damages at 20f.
His Lordship gave the defendant leave to move far a non-
snit, if the court should think that there was no legal evi-
dence that the defendant bad caused the plaintiff to be ar-
rested ; or, if they should think that enough of the special
plea was proved to establish an answer to the action.
Later in the day, Mr. Hawkins applied to the coed wit-
ting in Immo, and obtained a rule nisi to enter a verdict for
the defendant, or for a yew trial, upon the ground that the
verdict was against the weight of evidence.
