WEST INDIA MAIL.
[BY Meade TilersPbA

By the snivel at Southampton of the mail steamer
Tay, we are in possession of dates from Jamaica to
January 7.
It was asserted in Jamaica that another proroga-
tion was inevitable, and that it would be announced
shortly before the re-assembling of the house.
Another rumour was, that the house would be pro-
rogued at no distant period after its re-assembling,
and that a resolution to receive the ordinary revenue
unconditionally to the end of the year would be
managed. This is to be done in the absence of the
county members.
The planters of Demerara are recommended to
allow their properties to go under sequestration.
From Barbadoes we learn that ten officers and great
numbers of men belonging to the 66th and 73rd Ree-
clients had died titers of fever.
From Venezuela we learn that Menages had re-
taken Maracaibo and destroyed the fleet of Pau.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(Tme DAT.)
COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Before the Lord Chief Baron, and a Riedel jury.
Till ATTOSIMIT-GIMBAL V. svanu,.
•

This cau;;;l7ielesVisnersiiiaisexpeididterseinatien
on Friday bat, in consequent* of the remarks addremed
Sir F. Thedger to the Lord Chief Baron, was resumed this
morning. The jury having usembled,
The Attorney-General informed them that the poet-
ponement had enabled him and his learned friend, Mr. Idar
tin, to come to a decision in the caw, and a verdict would be
entered for the crown, subject to its being turned into a
special case; the only question at all in dispute was,
whether the deler.dent was bound to report his veas.l on its
arrival from a foreign port.
The jury then returned a verdict for the crown, when Sir
F. Thomism' who was in court, rose and bowed, ant left
the court. The learned gentleman did not utter a single
word.
Upon the cause of "Broadwood v. Attwood," a common
jury ;muse, being celled on, Mr. Martin, who appeared for
the plaintiff, and with feelings of deep emotion,i said, " Gen-
tlemen of the jury Were I to consult my own judgment,
my voice would never again be heard in this court."
The Lord Chief Baron.—Mr. Martin, I question the pro-
priety of your making any observation of that kind, and I
think you had better abstain from doing so.
Mr. Idartin.—l think under the circumstances I may.
The Lord Chief Baron.—Mr. Martin, I hope you will
adopt that alum which subsequent consideration has
pointed oat must be for the best.
Mr. Martin.—l should like to explain my motives, but, in
deference to your lordship's wish, I will submit; but, alter
what has taken plum, I did think it necessary to state in this
°out that I ought not to appear here again. I did wish to
say that was my intention; but, by the advice of
my learned friend the Attorney-Gaunt, and in compliance
IM:h his opinion, I have been induced to submit to his advice.
The Lord Chief Baron.—l think you should follow my
advice, end abstain from saying anything further about the
matter.
The learned gentleman then sat down, and was so much
affected as to burst into tears. A few minutes sipped before
he was able to address the jury.

yew's edition of Mr. Dad's " Parliamentuy Compenion,"
that the following elections have taken place during the last
twelve months :—At Waterford City, Dublin University,
Monmouthshire, Devisee, Kinsale Lancaster, Dundalk,
Aylesbury, Bewdley, Carlisle, Utica's, Derby, Horsham,
Wicklow, Bile, Cheltenham, Leicester, York City, Circa-
meter, Cheslum (North), Yarmouth, Thetford, Bolton,
Lynn, Yorkshire (West Riding), Uekeard, Truro, Harwich.
These alterations give a total of 87 samaken who had no
tests in the Howse of Commas when the last session of par-
liament commenced. Binee the publication of the volume,
changes will have occurred in the following English
boroughe—Holton, Leominster, Hull, end Portsmouth.
A RAINY YEAR.—least year KUM to have been an
unusually plutions one. In the Gardeners' Chronic& of
last week the monthly registers (kept at Witham) of 1847
and 1848 are placed sicl• by side. Their total shows that
in the former year 17.60 inches fell, while in the latter
them wee a descent of 30 inches of rain. The October of the
pest year was the wettest, 4.86 Mahe, of rain having fallen.
In the eorresponding month of the previous year it amounted

COMMERCIAL 4r MARKETS.
MONEY MARKET ec CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—The funds have been flat this morn-
ing, and prises were in decline, when a leading broker.
known to act Dually for the Scotch and some west-
end banks, made a purchase 0(100,0001. in Three-and-
s-Quarter per Cents, the price not stated; and another
broker took a considerable amount of Reduced Threes,
also as believed for banking account. These opera-
tions arrested the tendency towards a further fall in
price., without, however, improving them otherwise.
We quote Consols 911 to I both for time azd money,
which, as will be seen, are lower than the quotations
of Saturday. Reduced Threes are 914 to 4. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 921 to 4. March Ex-
chequer Bills, 395. to 425. premium. Bank Stook,
193 to 8.
We have a heavy market in foreign stocks, with
prior. in some instances lower, and generally rather
fully sustained. Mexican, are 26 to 1. Peruvian,
47 to 9. Buenos Ayres, 25 to 7. New Grenada, 14/
to 151. Brazilian, 78 to 80. Chilies, 91 to S.
Spanish Fives, 14/ to 151; the Threes, 274 to 81;
Passive, 31 to 1. Portuguese, 261 to 81. ; Dutch
Two-ana-Half per Cents., 481 to 91; the Fours,77l
to 81. Russian, 104 to 8.
The advice§ from Havana by the American steam
packet come down to the 4th of December only. The
anticipatleas with respect to the new crop of eager
continuous liewursong u before, or 'axe so, and little

weals of Imps and elsewhere. Priam therefore
were stiff and looking up, with few houses disposed to
make oast:sots.
