LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1355.

The commercial community has recently been
considerably excited by the result of an action to
recover the amount of a cheque specially crossed
to particular bankers, and cashed, as asserted by
the defendant, without due caution. No imputa-
tion whatsoever was cast on the bona fides of the
defendant. It was admitted that he had given
the party full value in the confident belief that
he was a respectable person, and fully authorised
to dispose of the document. It appeared, how-
ever, that he had merely been entrusted by his
employer with tise cheque for the purpose of being
paid in to his own bankers, Messrs. DIXON and
Co., to whom it was specially crossed, and that
he had embezzled a considerable portion of the
amount. The question then turned on the nature
and effect of the specific endorsement, or crossing
in favour of a particular bank ; and the decision
of the Lord Chief Justice that such an operation
does not affect the negotiability of the cheque, or
create any obligation ou the parties on whom it is
drawn beyond that of paying it through a banker,
has created considerable alarm. The security
that was supposed to belong to this peculiar form
of the promise to pay is found to be, to a great
extent, if not altogether, wanting, and merchants
and traders find that they are far more dependent
on the honesty of their " young men" than they
had previously supposed. The decision above re-
ferred to is strictly in accordance with the prin-
ciples which we enunciated in 1852 in reference
to the leading Case of BELLAMY V. MAILIORDIANKS,
and there is but little doubt that it will be sus-
tained in any appeal that may be made. But it
is equally certain that the effect will be very pre-
judicial to the best interests of the nation, and
that a Legislative remedy, which can alone re-
move the admitted evil, is urgently required.

Professor LEONE LEVI has taken advan-
tage of the sensation thus occasioned to deliver
a very interesting Lecture on the subject of corn-
rnercial law, a report whereof will be found else-
where in fair impression. It was no ordinary
occasion, being the closing lecture for the season,
at the King's College, by its Professor of Com-
merce. The subject was therefore most appro-
priately chosen, and it will be doubly bene-
ficial, for while it teaches a salutary caution as
to the actual state of the law, it also shows the
glaring deficiencies thereof, anti the nature of
ruocications. W© earnestly COW'

LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER IG, 1855.

The public is eagerly looking forward for intel-
liggnee from the Crimea. The anxiety is very
natural, considering the vast importance of the
operations during the The great
present month.
points at issue are—First, Will the Russians ha
enabled to maintain their position, and still, de-
spite the exertions of the Allies, to retain. the
Crimea as a Russian territory? Secondly, Whe-
ther, abandoning the hope of maintaining the con-
test for the present, they will strive to withdraw
their troops, with all their arms and munitions of
war, prepared to carry on the conflict in other
districts? Or, lastly, Whether, through the judi-
cious arrangements of the Allied Generals, they
will be compelled to lay down their weapons, and
to surrender at discretion ?
It is almost unnecessary to expatiate "en
the vast importance of this latter result,
which,
if properly followed up, would effec-
tually cripple the _power of Russia,
.and afford
of inducing it to make such
a 'fair prospect
.submissions as can alone bring about a permanent
and honourable peace. What we have hitherto
accomplished, in the Capture of Sebastopol, and
the destruction of the Russian Fleet, is but a step
in the right direction. If, through any diplo-
matic error, Sebastopol were restored to the
enemy; and our forces withdrawn)
a very brief
respite only would have been obtained, in return
for all our exertions and sacrifices. A very short
time would suffice to render the stronghold, if not
impregnable, fully as formidable as it has eves
been, and prepared to bear the brunt of another
Oeven Months' Siege. A new fleet would rapidly
he created—prepared again to menace Constanti-
uople, and to
disturb the tranquillity of Europe.

R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-

FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original br the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-62, Fleet-street. At

COLONIAL

TEA.—The market is steady, bat with a limited de
mand.

SUGAR.—FuII rates have generally been obtained, but
the public sales now in progress will better decide the
state of the market. There have been several purchases of
colonial on former terms, and refined, though quiet, h'is
ruled firm. There were landed last week at the several
docks and wharves and in London 2,913 hhds, 184 trs,
493 brls of West India, anti there were taken for home
coneuumption 2,847 hhds, 310 trs, anti 676 brie. The
stock is 23,502 hhds, 1,748 trs, and 5,856 brls.
COFFEE. - Holders of native Ceylon are firm, and the
supply is limited. More business has been done in plan-
tation at last week's rates. Mocha is in good demand.
RlCE.—This article is firm, but dull.
RUM.—lmporters ask higher rates, and the market tends
upwards.

SALTPETRE.—There is ;scarcely any alteration in the
absence of sales.

TALLOW.—There has been an advance in the tallow
market. The demand has been strong, and following
upon the large deliveries of last week, and the evidence
we quoted in our statement of last Friday as to the pro-
bable supply and demand, it has produced a farther ad-
vance to-day. The market was quiet on Saturday, and
but little business was done, prices being a little lower
than on Friday. To-day we opened firm, and since
'Change higher prices have been paid, and we close spot

in human shape, who at once dragged her off the car,
knocked her down with loaded sticks, and then delibe-
rately fired no fewer than three pistol shots into her face
and head, after which they walked (piety away, leaving
her for dead. The unfortunate lady was shortly after-

now lied in the most excruciating agony, having, besides
the beating fcyona the sticks, received no less than four
bullets in the face and head, one of which is lodged in
the brain. H 'er medical attendants entertain not the
sliv,htest hope of her recovery. Some 18 months ago
sworn information was given that this lady was soon to

LONDON, TUBS !MY. OCTOBER IG, 1855.

The public is eagerly looking forward for Intel-
ligence from the Crimea. The anxiety is very
natural, considering the vast importance of the
operations during the present month. The great
points at issue are—First, Will the Russians be
enabled to maintain their position, and still, de-
spite the exertions of the Allies, to retain the
Crimea as a Russian territory? Secondly, Whe-
ther, abandoning the hope of maintaining the con-
test for the present, they will strive to withdraw
their troops, with all their arms and munitions of
war, prepared to carry on the conflict in other
districts? Or, lastly, Whether, through the judi-
cious arrangements of the Allied Generals, they
will be compelled to lay down their weapons, and
to surrender at discretion

It is almost unnecessary to expatiate on
the vast importance of this latter result,
which, if properly followed up, would effec-
tually cripple the power of Russia, and afford
a fair prospect of inducing it to make such
submissions as can alone bring about a permanent
and honourable peace. What we have hitherto
accomplished, in the Capture of Sebastopol, and
the destruction of the Russian Fleet, is but a step
in the right direction. If, through any diplo-
matic error, Sebastopol were restored to the
isnemy, and our forces withdrawn, a very brief
respite only would have been obtained, in return
for all our exertions and sacrifices. A very short
time would suffice to render the stronghold, if not
impregnable, fully as formidable as it has ever
been, and prepared to bear the brunt of another
Eleven Months' Siege. A new fleet would rapidly
be created—prepared again to menace Constanti-
nople, and to disturb the tranquillity of Europe.
Even the possossiou and retention of the Crimea,

SOUTHWARK.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A LAD BY A SWELLMOBSMAN.—''
Louis Sarto, a well-dressed young fellow, well known
as an expert member of the swell mob, was brought
before Mr. A'Beckett on a warrant by 64 L, charged
with committing a brutal assault on John Hurstone, a
lad about fifteen years of age.
The complainant, who exhibited a wound on the left
eye, said that he was an apprentice to an engineer, and
resided with his father in Chester-place, Waterloo-road.
On Tuesday evening, about 9 o'clock, he was going
home, and on proceeding along Barren's-place, he saw'
the prisoner wrangling with another man. He appeared
rather intoxicated, and as witness was attempting to
pass him he struck him a severe blow on the side of the
head, and knocked him down. While on the ground
the prisoner kicked him on the eye, which rendered him
insensible. He was taken home and attended to by a
surgeon, after which he told his father what had oc-
curred, and when search was made for the prisoner he
decamped from the neighbourhood.
John Williams, a shoemaker, said he was passing
along Barren's-place on Tuesday evening, the 9th inst.,
when he saw the prisoners, without the least provoca-
tion, knock the lad down and kick him several times on
the face. Witness went to the lad's assistance, when
the prisoner struck him and ran away. The prisoner
was under the influence of liquor, but he knew what he
was about.

William Jones said he also saw the prisoner kick the
lad ; but before he could get up to seize hold of him he
managed to make his escape.
....

The prisoner said it was all false what the witnesses
had stated. He could not have touched the la:l as be
was so drunk that he could not walk, and was compelled
to be carried home. Mr. A'Beckett asked him whether
he had witnesses to prove his assertions ? He replied
that he had not ; but he recollected some boys annoy'ng
him. The complainant said that there was no one near
the prisoner but one of his companions, and he ran away
.)efore he knocked witness down. Mr. A'Beckett said
it was a very brutal assault, and he should fine him Si.,
and in default of paymeat commit him to the House of
Correction for six weeks.

ASSAULT IN THE SURREY THEATRE.—JeItra Bucks, an
•ificer of the High Bailiff, was charged with committi' g
an assault on Henry Peckham, the constable of the,
Surrey Theatre. The complainant said the pri••oner was
disturbing the audience in the pit last evening, when wit
ness went up to him and desired him to desist. He,
however, made more noise, and struck witness as he
was ejecting him from the pit. His violent conduct
alarmed the whole of the audience, and put a stop to the
performances for a few minutes.

The prisoner said he was drunk at the time and did
not know what he was about.

Mr. A'Beckett told him his conduct was disgraceful,
and for assaulting the officer in the execution of his duty
he should fine him 20s. or 14 days.

STE D T BEAT bE.

November weather having come upon us somewhat
prematurely, accompanied with its usual depressing in-
fluences, we looked about us yesterday for something
enlivening, to dispel the gloom which is apt to take pos-
session of us under such circumstances. Attracted by
the announcement of considerable novelty, we deter-
mined to visit the little Strand Theatre, and had no
cause to regret having carried our determination into
effect. The company des been strengthened by the ad-
dilion if Mr. G. Cooke, one of the best " old men" upon
the stage ; Miss Herbert, from the Theatre Royal Glas-
gow; and last, though by no means least, Mr. M'Vicker,
the Yankee comedian, who created so great a furore at
the Surrey during his engagement there. The first piece,
.i.inpson cold Co , was exceedingly well play,d, and re-
fleci.t.d credit on all concerned in it. Mr. Cooke, as
Simpson, left nothing to desire ; the little part (if Ma-
dame La Trappe was rendered conspicuous by the judi-
cious care bestowed upon its representation by Miss
Somers ; and Miss Herbert, combining as she does an
exceedingly atq-active person with a g.-iod knowledge of
stave besiriess, made a most favourable impression.
Sam. Patch, in!rsalucing Mr. M'Vicker to a West-end
nut fence, went off amid roars of laughter, which must
have been most gratifying to "Brother Jonathan."
Mr. M'Vicker possesses the happy faculty of being
bread without ever descending to vulgarity. His
"chicken" scene, in which he was well supported by
Miss Cuthbert, was received with perfect screams. Nor
was he less worthy of commendation in the part of
Dialrery, in All flee World's a stage. It was a fine piece
of 'burlesque acting, fully evincing that his excellence as
a comedian is not by any means confieed to his Yankee
imp,rsonatVns ; his genuine talents fully entitle him to
rank among the foremost English comedians of the day.
He and his audience appeared Inutuagy delighted, and
he may justly feel proud of the triumph he achieved.
At the end of the piece he was loudly called for, and re-
turned thanks in a neat speech. The house wa crowded,
a,nl we think we may venture to prophesy that it will
continue to be s., during his engagement.

EXPORTS:

Cotton Wool.—The market has been very quiet, and
little doiPg for Great Britain, but on the arrival of the
China steamer more activity has been apparent, and,
with increased inquiry for that quarter, prices have
advanced 20r. 3a. per candy. Broach and Surat may
be quoted 96r. to 97r. ; Dhollera, 98r. to 99r. ; Oom-
rawattee, 88r. to 89r. ; Compta, 93r. to 94r. per candy.
Sheep's Wool.—There is little alteration to notice in
this article, which, however, continues in good demand.
Oil Seeds.—Contracts for future delivery are now with
difficulty made, even at a further advance in prices:
Since our last 18,000 cwt. a lin. has been taken at 51r.
per cwt. Niger and teel are both very scarce, as also
rape, which has improved in price.
Opium.—Malwa.—The accounts a a material defi-
ciency in the crop, owing to the scanty fall of rain had
the effect of sending prices up at one. time to 1,02ef. for
Mundleisir, but at which little was done, and prices,
