THE WORKING Or THE COMMERCIAL TREATY.—
The working of the commercial treaty gives some notable
results for the month of July, for which the return+ are
forthcoming. The export of wine to England, which in
July, Dt.Xi. was only 2,094 hectolitres, baa been this Ju1y12.092. The import of English wool into France, July,
1850, was 197,668 quintals. This year the same month
gives 261.707 quintals Cotton imported into France for
the seven mouths of 1859, corresponding with the same
period this
.year was in the proportion of 525,713 to
1,019,301 quintai. Coals have quite as much increased in
t4hport list, but Belgian fuel is more in demand than
' , being cheaper, though not so good.

been occupied very differently from what I expected, I have
been unable to write to many of ray friend,. We have

the slave trade in several parts on the east onset I
never anticipated. There is little doubt but that the le-
troduction of lawful commerce and the gospel—the only
balm for human woes—to the highland hike repo°, would
speedily effect a diminution of that trail?, which now crosses
Nyames. We are trying to get freedom of navigation from
the Portuguese, to our diseoveris ; this is indispensable, for
they are of the lowest and most immoral class generally, and
defile everything near them. I hope that our statesmen
may see the matter in the same light as we do. A small
steamer on Symms would not only afford complete security to
settlers, but effect more without firing a shot than meaty

SIIVENOAKE RAILWAY.—The half-yearly report
of the directors states that the works on this line are pro-
ceeding, satisfactorily. The notices have been served oa all
the landowners whose property is required for the lion, sad
a pest portion of it is in the possession of the company.
TU directors regard with great satisfaction the sumer of
the London, Chatham, and Dover Company,_in °litanies
as externem of their line to the City sad West-end, by
means of which Smenooks will be brought into direct am-
nienication with Farringdonlereet, Victoria-street, West-
minster. and the principal line of railway north of the
Thames. Toe Western Extension line of the London, am&
ham and Dover Railway is now very nearly completed, and
will be open for traffic in the autumn of the present year,
so that • convenient access to the inetrupulis will be
afforded to the traffic pulsing over tho Sevenosks line, as
soon as it Is completed. The engineer's report states that
at the tunnel at Eymiford end cuttings in the neighbour-
hood, works which are of the greatest mignitude and which
will regulate the period of completion of the lino, good pro-
wess has been neck up to the present time. When this,
weeks have so far advanced as no longer to form the mea-
sure of time, thh7 and the remainder of the excavatious,

SHERIFFS' COURT.—Auover 28.
LOVETT V. WILL-ACTION UPON ♦ PIONESBORT NOTE.

This was an action to recover 331. 15a. upon a promissory
note endorsed by defendant.
Mr. Stammers, instructed by Mr. Davies, of Mincing-lane,
stated that an action had been brought in the superior court
upon this note, but it was discovered that plaintiff could not
go on because the words "or order" had been omitted, and
the promise to pay was simply to a particular person. The
action was now for money lent.
Mr. Lovett was called, and proved advancing 321. ss. upon
the note.

fitionghill cross-examined plaintiff as to whether he
did not represent himself to be merely the agent of the per
▪ who advanced the money.
Plaintiff replied that he was the principal. He had
charged comthigsion addition to the discount. lie had
also charged a further sum for commission upon defendant's
re for time.
letronglull then put in a note appended to plaintiff's
receipt for the extra commission, in which it appeared that
it was at defendant's request the note had been held over.
His Honour—B; that memorandum defendant admits
plaintiff as a principal.
Mr. Btronghill could not understand how plaintiff, as
principal, could claim commission.
His Honour—Oh I you've no idea what money lenders
charge. Yon should come here some day for a couple of
