THE VERDICT

SERIOUS AND UNFOUNDED CIIAItGES.

AGAINST A CLERGIMA/4

At the Ipswich Assizes, the case of Rogers r. Rix was
tried. The plaiutiff is a clergvmau, educated at 'St. Aidan's

uoitege, Birkenhead, and was for six years and a half curate
to Mr. Cunningham, the vicar of Lowestoft. The defendant
is a pupil teacher in the National School 'at, Lowestoft,
which was under the superintendence of the plaintiff. On
the 27th of July in last year a pic-nic party was arranged,
at which the plaintiff and defendant were present. They
went to a nlaea nallnd 1-Inrnti,b L. • Al

evening some took boats, some carriages, and others walked.

Lowestoft, the plaintiff 'was

brought. A great deal of evidence was gone into, occupying
the court two days, the greater portion Of it being unfit for
publication.. The result proved that.. the charges against

the expression of his Lordship's opinion that the plaintiff's
character was cleared, he would be satisfied with 40s.

guilty of the offence imputed to him, and, the verdict of the
jury in his favour ; the question of the amount of damages
was wholly unimportant. A verdict for the plaiutiff—

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

FRIDAY EVENING

operations of the trade during the

Dovers,

The market for the Public Funds and Securities
to-day has been rather bett3r, not as to the great de-
mand, but with respect to prices. Consols closed
firmly at 941,6 951 for both Money and the Account.
The New Threes closed at 95g to ,951-.
The London Railway Share Market to-day also im-
proved, in sympathy. with Consols. Canadian Shares
were steady, and French Shares in pretty good de-
mand. Caledonians, closed at 831 to ; -East Lanca-
shire, 95 to 6; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 951 to 24, ;
London • and • North-western, 931 to 41 ; Midland,
1011 to 2; and Dovers, 73 to 4.
There has been little doing in the Grain. Trade
during the last • feW days, the weather being, on the
whole, favotrable for harvest operations, which are
now progressing rapidly. . At to-day's market there
was but a slender attendance, and the business done
in Wheat was of the merest retail character, at a
decline of Id. per 1001bs. from Tuesday's rates.
Flour was in fair demand, at late rates. Oats and
Oatmeal were 3d. to 6d. per load lower. Indian
Corn was • not much inquired for, and prices were
rather easier.

The. Provision Trade has been dull throughout the
week, and although the sales of Beef exceed the
vices have declined 9g ~„„

average,

few small sales of Pork are rte.
•reported, but of so trifling
a character as to make scarcely the slightest impres-
sion on the heavy stock, which remains practically a
dead weight, 'apparently not to be' moved effectually,
exc -,pt at further greatly reduced, prices. There is a
slow demand for Bacon, which seems likely to_elear
off the small stock of American before the new cure
can come forward. Cheese sells well,, and the
market is again ,clear of the late arrivals.
Thedeniarid for Salt this week has been fair, and
prices, are rather stiffer; and the present position of
the trade points to the likelihood of rates being still
higher than lower, manufacturers seeming determined
o them. by keeping back supplies. We
quote common salt, 65.,; rough, is. to Bs. 6d;- stored,
Os. to 9s. 6d: and butter salt, 7s. 6d. per ton. Mr.
T. J. Werninek, of Brunswick-street, fiirnishes us
with the following. report, of the state of, the trade
during the past month :—" During the past month
the -Liverpool— trade has been below the
average, ' the- total • shipments comprising only
'0,402 tons, aeainst the export of
.80,114 tons,

in the corresponding month Of last year.
decrease has been mainly caused by the scarcity
of foreign shipping, and the advanced price asked by
manufacturers for their salt. The river Weaver
going off, on the 13th of August, for three or four
week.s, will necessarily cause supplies to come short,
and present prices can therefore be confidently calcu-
lated upon to be maintained for some time, with the
probability of another rise of ls. or 2s. a ton, in the
event .4.-the;•usual cirders coming to hand at: this
period of the season. The shipments to the United.

The weather had very unfavourable for the staple
produee' of the country, the long droughts of autumn
being succeeded by severe frosts, which burnt up the
little pasturage, remaining, and live stocks of all
kinds had suffered very seriously in: consequence.
Durino- the . last few days • :before the depar-
ture- the packet, rains,- and damp cloudy
weather, had set in, .and. were producing a bene-
ficial effect. From Pernambuco we are informed
that business throughout the 'month had been
dull.
,Heavy.rdins had continued, and consequently
impeded intercourse with the interior; .. Supplies of
produce had been very trifling, and it was considered
that.the Sugar crop was over. Brown Sugars were
