JACOB V.WNITIN...-1111PWITAXT DICIBION.

The plaintiff, in person, sought to recover of the defen-
dant the sum of 61.

It appeared from the statement of Mr. Jacob that on the
22nd of June last, during his absence, his wife had taken a
di. R inate and Dorking Bank note.
Mr. Jacob lamed ately gut the country nose cashed at
a neighbour's, but in a few days atter he bad to refund the
5/. to his friend, who informed him that the Reigate and
Doming Bank had stepped payment. and dishonoured their
note. He then soueht the defendant to relieve him from
the Ices. Mr. 11'Niven, however, repudiated the note, as
well as the beakers. In answer to a rotation of the de
fondant, the plaintiff stated that when the " note" was
cashed by his wife, it was about the hour of twelve on
Saturday.
A witness proved that the note came from the defendant,
and that the defendant received the value in sovereigns.
Mr. Gill, a cheesemonger, &peed, that on Saturday, the
22nd June, between 3 and 4 o'clock, he sashed the note to
oblige Mr. Jacobs. Shortly after he paid it away to the
collector of a gee company. On the Thursday following the
collector returned the note to him, and informed him that
the bank had stopped payment.
Mr. Pace, clerk to Messrs. Barnard and Dirigible, the
bankers of Combat, stated that the Reigate and Dorking
Bank, of which they were formerly the London agents,
stopped payment on Monday, the 24th June, and that when
the note was presented, their house refused to cash it. Is
answer to the questions of the learned judge, the witness
stated that their bank was opened for business at 9 o'clock
in the morning, and that they did not rective advice of the
Dorking and Reigate Bank having stopped payment until a
quarter past nine on Monday morning, the 2ith cf June,
and that bad the Dote been presented at nine o'clock, moat
unquestionably their house would have cashed it.
The defendant urged that gross negligence had been
shown on the part of the plaintiff, in not tendering the note
earlier to Mears. Barnard and Dinudale, and that Mr.Jacobe
ought to be the loser.
The learned Judge obeerved that the note did not get
Into the hands of the plaintiff until nearly the hour for the
Load= bank to does, and immediately it afterwards opened
advice* were received that the Dorking and Reigate Bank
had stopped payment. The charge of negligenoe, therefore,
meld not be sustained. He therefore ordered the detest-
, dant to pay the claim forthwith.

stranger having to officiate, he was invited to partake of the
hospitalities of Clamber Rail. As usual, the future states-
man was called upon to go throagh his duty. When he

he replied,' he has preached a much better sermon than
ever I did in my lire.' "

must not expect any more pecuniary assistance from
the government.

THE BOYEAir MAIL.—The whole of the lag Bom-
bay mail, consisting of 10 or 15 boxes of letters. was left
behind, owing to the But Lodi' Company's steamer not
arriving at Aden before the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steamer left that port for Rutz. It is net expected
that the mad will arrive is England before the arrival of
the steamer Indus towards the latter end of salt month.
In consectuenes of the failure of the Bombay mail, the India
mail, which arrived at the General Post-otae on Wednes-
day last, and which had been land, d trom tho Ripon

ing to 40 boxes.

NORTH WALES CI RCUIT.—CARNA RVON, JULY 23.
Tme (knee v R. B. GRIFFITH —CHARoz or PERJURY.

Robe►t Bodoais Griffith, solicitor, surrendered nn bail,
►nd pleaded "not guilty" to a chuge of perjury. Tole cue
arose out of the circumstance that in April lut, defendant
prosecuted his bailiff, William Griffith, tor stealing oats; and
the bailiff preferred a ce.noter charge of perjury against his
master. It appeartd in evidet:* that defendant sent his
bailiff to the house of Mr. Evan Hughes, corn•faetoe. for a
cuuttr of oats, fur which ►e had previously paid. Mr. E
Hughes deposed to sending the oats to delendant's house at
two separate periods of time. G:iffil Williams, carrier,
swore to the fact that he delivered the first hobbet to the
defendant himself; and J. Jones, carrier, deposed in like
manner to the delivery of the second hobbett. For the
defence it was alleged that only ono hobbet had been de-
livered—at least with the knowledge of defendant. Mary
Hughes, housekveper to Mr. Griffith, deposed to the de-
livery of one hobbet only.
His lordship having carefully stemmed up the evidence,
taking objection to some points iu the indictment which bad
not been fully borne out, the jury retired, and on their
return found a verdict of acquittal.
The case ezcited great interest on account of the position
of the accused party.
This closed the business of the wise.

The premium on gold at Paris, by last accounts,
was 9 per mille, which, at tke English Mint price of
31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25.371; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short, being 25.37!, it follows that gold is
0.01 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By last advice, the price of gold at Hamburg is 433
per mark. which, at the English mint Fie. of
31.17 a. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.9; and the exchange at Hamburg on
London, at short, being 13.9, it follows that gold is of
equal value in both markets.
By last advice, the course of exchange at New
York on London, for bills at 60 days' sight, is 1101
per cent. ; and the par of exch toge between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows ;
I that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in fa- I
your of England : and after making allowance for
difference of interest and charges of transport, the
present rate leaves a small profit on the importation
of gold from the United States.
For foreign exchanges there was more demand ob-
servable tor this mail; the rates on most places had in
consequence a tendency downwarde, and on Ham-
burg and Paris were done lower than on Tuesday.
The course of exchange was the following:

been received in town by expels. The high sheriff
Eeathe art at halt-past 10 o'clock, and the can-
m
te s entered the wart attended by their reaped's
friends. Those of Mr. Butt comprised nearly ell the
principal landlords of the county.
Mr. Cruelly Biome was proposed in a very ani-
mated speech by the Hon. Frederick Cavendish, pro-
prietor of the Mayo TekgrapA, and Mr. Butt wee
proposed by Col. Knox Gore. Sir Richard O'Donnell
was then put in nomination, his proposer being a
Roman Catholic priest, who was addressing the else-
ton when the express left.
The utnio.t excitement prevailed in the town,
when a large force of constabulary is concentrated on
the occasion, together with detachments of the 14th
and 17th regiments. The liberal electors have found
it necessary to serve on the Marquis of blip, the
Berl of Lucas, and the lord lieutenant of the county,
copies of the resolution of the House of Commons
against the interference of peers in the election of
members of parliament. The protectionists com-
plain that some of their electors were kidnapped by
the liberal party, and a police force was accordingly
brought to -liberate the supported prisoners. How-
ever, the friends of Mr. Butt discovered their mistake,
and were met with hearty cheers for " Higgens and
cheap bread."

AMERICA.

NEW YORK, lAN. 8.
There are some curious facts with regard to the
commercial marine of this country. It has increased
since 1818 150 per cent., and the inland state of
Ohio builds as much tonnage in vessels as all the
southern states between the Chesapeake Bay and the
Rio Grande. Ship building is indeed becoming a
large business on the Ohio river, and I personally
know of beautiful ships built on the Mississippi which
We come round to the Atlantic ports to make voy-
wee to the Pulite. If this is not a specimen of
IYankee enterprise, I know not what is.
A very large number of omega sail or steam on our
great lakes. The tonnage on Lake Erie is 115,980,
sad when the great Erie railroad, extending from the
Hain river to Dunkirk. on that lake, is finished,
arbisk will be early in 1851, the increase of our west-
= commerce will be beyond preerintealculation. This
read is in some respects the greatest work of the age.
It has a wide gauge, and is already in snooesatul
operation for 277 miles. It is connected by branch
railways with the central lakes of New York and the
great canal. It is already making the most wondrous
chants in that portion of the state through which it
puma, as well as adding to the importance et
its termini. All this has been mainly done lay
private enterprise, sedated partially by a credit
prom the state. The grade, and the massive bridges
and viaducts, are all the work of Americus, most of
whom, tenyeare ago,did not know the di Serena between
a theodolite and a spirit level. This road will have
an important bearing on the settlement of the piddle
lands. It will be the great emigrant route to the
west. Six millions and a half of acres of the publio
domain are prepared for sale—that is, surveyed and
hid out—to be disposed of during the present year.
During the first quarter of the year 1849, the sales
amounted to 4,297,737.28 dole. It is a very fortunate
thing foe Europe as well as this country that we
have so much good land to dispose of at nominal
prices. Not only de we furnish the means of exist-
' - but we increase our Durkee for

duty than half a franc.

MEETING AT NORTHAMPTON.

- -
A meeting of persons interested in the restoration
of protection to agriculture was held ynterday in the Assembly
Rooms, at the George Hotel, a spacious apartment, capab:e
of holding 3,000 persons. About a third of that number
was present.
The chair was occupied by Lord 9017111AlePTON ; and on
the platform near him we observed the Duke of Grafton, Sir
H. Dryden, Sir C. Hnightley, M.P., Earl Pomfret. Mr.
Wanasndl, M.P., Mr. Stafford, M.P.. Captain Vyse, M.P.,
Colonel Cartwright, Kr. Aubrey Cartwright, Sir Geo.

Colonel CAR WRIGHT Roved the Bret resolution, in
which free trade was aocused of having caused the ruin of
suldtudee of the agricultural Glum.
It wee seconded by Mr. J. W. Wawa; and carried
unsalasonely.
Mr. BAZPOILD :rid, and Mr. MAIINSILL, M. P., se-
conded the neat ution.

The Doke of GRAFTON said—l am hers, because I
would not, by my absence, cause the smallest suspicion that
I had not your interest and my own most sincerely at heart.
(Cheers) lam a farmer by practice, and lam a farmer at
heart. (Cheers.) And though I hope I have a brotherly
and christen feeling for all nay fellow-creatures. I have it
most particularly for the farming interest. The property of
oar country may have limn under our commercial sad ma-
nufacturing skill; bat the strength of the country is in the
land of the country and the labour of the country, and! only
hope that, ander the blaming of Clod, we may motions in the
same state of prosperity that we have mjoyeal. At pre-
sent, there may be a little change, but let us encourage
one another with the hope that it will rise again, and by all
means do not let ns discourage one another by words of
complaint (Cheers.) I quite agree in the sentiments that
have been expressed at this meeting, though I must say I
anticipated that free trade would bring down prices as low as
it has done. Them is one point which has not been touched
upon, and that is the tariff. I have a very great objection
to the tariff. (Rear, hear.) I think that the imputation of
foreign stock, especially dead stock, is a moat injurious thing
to this country. (Cheers.)
After a few words from Mr. HOWL, a solicitor who ap-
peared to lean rather to • fined duty, the resolution was
carried unanimously.
The other resolutions, which were proposed and seconded
by Rev. Sir O. Robinson, Mr. Corbie, Mr. Stafford, M.P.,
Hon. F. Villiers, Capt. Wyse, M.P., &a, were also unani-
mously adopted, and the meeting separated.

SWITZERLAND.

The federal budget of Switzerland foe 1850 has
been settled by the two Legislative Councils at
7,134,192 fr. for the receipts, 6,889,1451 r. for the ex-
penses.
A letter from Geneva, of the 18th, in the Patric,
says " Public tranquillity has been merionely die-
, tubed here. The membereof the Association Federal')
land of the clubs resolved to give the government a
day's labour in the demolition of the fortifications,
and they marched in bands every morning to the
work, accompanied by music and singing the Mar-
setllane. The peaceable population took alarm at
them promenades, which were really of a menacing
character; and the government called on the musicians
to give up their drams and instruments. This the
musicians refused, and yesterday the gendarme@ ar-
rested them as they entered the town at the head of
the people. Immediately a mob assembled and com-
asenescPan attack on the Town-balL M. Reyasond
and M. Beaumont attempted to harangue the crowd,
bat they were hooted. M. James Fazy, the idol of
the mob, also came forward to speak, but he wu not
listened to. On retiring, he mat orders for fifty
gendarmes to come to the Town-hall. They arrived
at five o'clock, fully armed, and with their
bayonets fixed. The mob shouted ' Down with the
bayonets r .To arms r The gendarmes succeeded in
forcing an entrance into the Town-hall, with the ex-
ception of three, who were thrown down and dis-
armed. The mob then commenced beating at the
doors of the Town-hall, and, se they did so, they
roared the Kamilla... Their attitude was so
threatening that profound alarm was caused in the
city, and the ehope were closed. The general rappel
was beaten ; but at length M. Fazy and the other
members of the government, in the hope of appeasing
the mob, released the refractory musicians. This had
a good effect, and after a while the mob dispersed,
though not before they had made a threatening de-
monstration beneath the windows of two councillors
of state noted for their moderation."

A Ditties wai posted in the Stock Exchange, at
lhalf-past 12 o'clock, stated to be from the reptesenta-
t the of the Dutch menmittas of Spanish bondholders
lat Madrid, but was afterwards removed, being con-
, sidered noteneleriestly authenticated. It was to the
following effect:
Teem is little probability of oar terms being adopted by
the government committee, in feet they hare refused at
present to rsownsiend them. There is, however, a rest
probability that they will adhere to their project Si the 12th

ren's recommendation bad not thee reached Madrid.
Ibrevythisg appeus to depend upon the decides of the Duke
of Vslracta. there IN a good deal of difference of opinion
in the government committee upon tee debt.
This notice answered its purpose, and Spanish,
which had advanced yesterday, on the report of a
street letter from Lord Palmerston receded to 14/ and
closed at 19, being a heavy decline on the opening
price of 19f.
Although there can be no doubt of Lord Palmer-
don's disposition to serve the bondholders, we fear
very much that too great reliance is placed on the
Mint of his advocacy. With diplomatic relations
newly restored with Madrid, it is the .paramoaat
object of Lord Palmerston and of Lord Howden to
abstain from in any degree awakening the jealousy
of the Duke of Valencia and the Spanish ministry.
Aldtongt from the feeling' of courtesy which pee-
veil on b sides every attention will be paid to any
communication from Lord Palmerston, yet senti-
ments of delicacy will very much 'lstria the scope
and languageofthe recommendation, the effect of which
is so anxiously looked for. Indeed, taking into con-
sideration the active operations in Spanish in foreign
markets, and the notice just tranecnbsd, there is too
mach restate to fear that persons, from interested
motives, purposely attach an exaggerated importanoe
to Lord Palmerston's expected eommeeiostion.
Considerable agitation naturally prevails as to the
measures in progress, and the communications from
Spanish bondholders which have appeared have
created much interest.
