‘‘as neseriptionS of Etignsu
Grain, also of FloUr, last week, and a considerable quan-
tity f Irish Oats, and many vessels with Foreign Wheat
and Flour. • The trade had little variation in the week,
except for Barley, which was dearer. This morning,
there is a fair fresh supply 'of most descriptions of
corn. Very little fine Wheat WLS exhibited to-day. and such
has obtained last week's rates; for other qualities, lx..th
and forein, there wa, a tAuggi,li trade, at hardly s., goof terms
as previously. Barley met a brisk demand, at 3a, to 4s. per qr.
advance on the prices of last Monday. Malt is considerably
higher. Beans, both old and new, are further advanced Is.
per quarter. Pease are firm at last quotations. Goad Oats
are still scarce, and maintain their former value, the Irish
parcels are chiefly of ordinary quality, and sell slowly, but the
factors will not submit to lower rates. Flour continues to
meet a good demand, and well sustaics its former value.

BRAZIL.

We have received by the Ann Smith, Captain Crawford,
from Rio Janeiro, the Journal do Commercio, published in
that city, to the 22d of October last. On the 20th of that
month the Regent opened the Sessions of the General Legis-
lative Assembly with a speech, in which he congratulates that
body on the good health which the Emperor enjoyed, on the
suppression of the insurrection in Para, and expresses a hope
that the troubles in Rio Grande will soon be allayed.
The French corvette Dordogne had arrived at Rio from
Brest, having on board M. Buchet de Martigny, appointed
Consul- General to the Argentine Republic. This gentle-
man, it is added, had formerly resided at Buenos Ayres, and
it was hoped would be able to bring to an amicable termina-
tion the difficulties existing between Buenos Ayres and France.

not result from the regulations, but from the combina-
tion, which the existing regulations are certainly not
strong enough to conquer. The permission given by the
bye-laws to the colliers to remain in the river 15 days
before they discharge is very injurious.
Mr. Bradfield—lt is the very thing which estnblishes
the power of the monopolists. Mr. Pease and Mr.
Lambton, and the other persons interostcd ill keeping
up t i;e price of coals, knew the value of time as con-
oeet,d with the discharge, and managed to settle with
the Corporation on that point. Thus the bye-law, grant-
ing them the fifteen days established the monopoly.
The LORD MAYOR-4f is admitted that the price of
sea-borne coals has been kept down five or six shillings
per ton in consequence of the very regulations of which
you complain. I trust in the next session of Parliament
the time for limiting the discharge to eight days will be
settled.

Mr. Bradfield stated that thirteen pence per ton Cor-
poration dues interfered most seriously with the sale of
inland coals in the metropolis. The North Staffordshire
coals would, if those dues were given up, be brought
into London in such quantities as would give the corn-
bination a great blow.

The LORD MAYOR denied that the removal of the City
dues from inland coals would be productive of such an
effect as had been represented. He should, he said, be
soon out of office, and he must, at the conclusion of his
Mayoralty declare, that whatever might be said of Mr.
Bradfield by those whose interests were affected by the
exposures which had taken place, not one charge that he
had brought, or statement that he had made with regard
to the existing monopoly and abuses, had been proved to
be incorrect.

Mr. Bradfield thanked his Lordship, and stated that
be apprehended much could not be expected from the
Corporation of London in making any reform in the
coal trade, except the Lord Mayor urged them on to it.
The patriots in the Coal Committee had completely
prevented the establishment of collier docks, in the pro-
priety of forming which Lord Salisbury agreed with him,
He hoped the Lord Mayor would continue his beneficial
exertions, and urge his successor to follow up the admir-
able plan. Inland coals were now daily coming to the
metropolis, and the public were purchasing at a compa-
ratively cheap rate a very good article, but he could not
see why coals should be on the average 10s. a ton
higher than they were six years ago. That was the
work of the abominable monopolists.
The LORD MAYOR—In various parts of the town ex-
cellent coals are now to be had at 225. and 245. per ton.
The poor, above all, derive immense benefit from what
has taken place, and will through the winter be enabled
to keep warm without the aid of the gin bottle. I have
no doubt as to the exertions of my successor, and I
trust that you will render all the assistance in your
power to conquer the system which I have endeavoured
to overturn.

MANSION-HOUSE-(THIS DAY.)

THROWING MUD INTO THE RIVER.— Wm. Beak,
Joseph Campbell, WM. West, and Joseph West, were
charged with having on the 30th of September, at the
parish of All Saints, Poplar, thrown into the River
Thames a quantity of soil, whereby they had incurred
the penalty of 201.
Mr. Brand, of the City Solicitor's office, attended in
support of the info-mation ; and Mr. Jones, solicitor for
the defendants.
John Maxwell deposed that between ten and eleven
o'clock on the night of the 30th September he saw the
defendants in a barge, near the Isle of Dogs, throwing ,
mud into the river with shovels. They were about
two barges length from the Middlesex side of the River.
Mr. Jones said he could not call any witness to con-
tradict the evidence given, but he trusted that the case
would be leniently dealt with, this being a first offence.
The LORD MAYOR said it was a great hardship on
the Conservators of the river that they should have the
trouble and expense of removing mud from the river,
which was deposited in this manner.
Mr. Jones said that these men followed the example
of the tunnel people, who threw their earth overboard.
The LORD MAYOR—They have been allowed to do
so for the benefit of a large public undertaking. If
you can show that your men were employed
different. in a
service for the public good, the case will be

TAYLOR V. SNELLY.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs.
John, Henry, and William Taylor, mustard and choco-
late manufacturers, of Brick-lane, Whitechapel, against
George Snelly, who had been managing clerk in their
establishment, for a breach of contract in having left
them without due notice. It was alleged by the plain-
tiffs, that the defendant having procured a more advan-
tageous situation, left them suddenly, giving only two
or three days' notice, by which they were put to much
inconvenience, and an expense of about 50/. For the
defendant it was urged, that he had mentioned to one
of the partners his intention of leaving, and the reply
was, " Do as you like," which might be construed either
as an assent or disapproval of the step, and also that
a balance of salary, amounting to 25/. was due to him
by the plaintiffs.

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, da-
mages, 5/.

Lord DENMAN— Gentlemen, your verdict is some
satisfaction to me, for I had just recommended to the
Counsel on both sides, to take a verdict by consent for
that sum.

The Launceston Paper of the 11 th July says, " In
our number of the week before last, we referred to the
determination of the Government to compute the pro-
fits of the distillers upon the assumption of the duty
paid having been 4s, the gallon.
" Upon the subject of this 4s. duty, the Hobart Town
Courier has the following excellent remarks :
I. It might bare been in contemplation of the Go-
vernment to raise the duty to 45., but having omitted to
do so, they cannot now take advantage of their own
neglect. Such a proceeding is against every principle
of law, as it is of justice. We trust, therefore, that the
duty will be calculated from 2s. 3d., which was the sum
at which it was fixed when the Distillation Act came
into operation."

We give the Wowing from the Commercial Daily
List" of this morning :
The average yearly consumptions of Tea in Europe

There are about 35,000,000 of pounds in this port a

Thei ntclligence received from Lisbon this morning
of the Portuguese Minis ry having been turned out, and
new Ministers having been appointed by the Queen
has not had much effect on the Portuguese Stocks,
which have improved about 4- per cent.
We understand that the present gentlemen in office
are very favourable to the British Government, and we
have no doubt that the slave question will soon be
amicably settled between the two Governments.

We have no further arrivals to communicate al
present.

into the Office in London, and the presumption is, that,
g a double letter, it was opened (as in the case ot
y it is feared even at present) by some one expect"
in.. a money enclosure, and hence destroyed. What
then is to be apprehended if pre-payment shall be made
compulsory without any cheque on letter carriers,
Sz.c., when the correspondence of the country will be
enormously increased ? In a late number of the
Dublin Warder, I observe it is stated that within the
previous three months, three letter carriers had ab•
aconded in Dublin alone, from complaints being wale
as to the non-delivery of letters. In a late number of a
London paper it is also stated, that within the previous
twelvemonths there had been upwards of fifty defaulters
among the letter carriers in London, a number of whom
had been tried at the Old Bailey for taking money out
of letters! ! ! It has been suggested to pay the letter
carriers better than at present, but it is feared that a few
shillings in addition to their weekly pay would not add
to the integrity of the body.
4. Have been informed that this idea is already
partly acted upon in the case of letters supposed to
contain money. But it mu-t be obvious, that it
could not be generally acted upon. The receipt
taken by the letter carrier for such letter is no better
proof of delivery than would be supplied by the re'
turn of the stamp slip (with address) on the file, al Pro
posed ; for it would be as easy for him to obtain a false
signature and retain the letter, as to return the statoP
slip on the file and retain the letter.
of the
5. It may be considered somewhat in favour
writer's views as to protection from forgery, that, as,, far
as he is informed, no attempts have been made to forge
any of the numerous stamps used in the conduct of the
various mercantile and legal affairs of the country ;
be accounted tor in no other way to
than that no marker
is to be oLtained for their extensive introduction. The
inducement to forgery of these presented is certainly
greater than will be presented in regard to the stamp
proposed for the collection of postage.

The objects of this Institution are to grant adequate rates o:
Annuity to parties disposed to invest Capital in this manner,
and to offer to others the means of obtaining a provision, at an
advanced age, on-fair and reasonable terms.
Not being restricted in regard to the investment of its Ca-
pital. like the Government Office, which can only grant An-
nuities in exchange for transfers of Stock, and not being en-
cumbered with the heavy responsibilities of Life Offices, on
account of the immense sums assured by them, the .‘ CITY
OF LONDON" Company is enabled to present to the Public
a much more equitable Scale of Rates than cap be offered by
either of these Establishments. This may be at once seen by
reference to the printed Tables, which, with every requisite
information, may be obtained by application at the Office.
By order of the Board of Directors,

DR. YARNETT'S SPECIFIC MIX-
TURE, for the unfailing curo of all urethral affec-
tions in ten days or less.—The deservedly high character borne
by this admirable medicine is principally due to its mode of
operation, in communicating strength to the constitution when
impaired or debilitated by imprudence, without producing the
slightest nausea or inconvenience. All the symptoms of these
terrible disorders are instantly and most materially mitigated by
the use of thisremedy ; whilst the more violent are entirely pre-
vented from being developed under any circumstancs.

SCOYLES V. NEWMAN.

This was an action to recover a sum about 401. for
work and labour done by the plaintiff, a wheelwright.
Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS stated the case. The
plaintiff, who resided at Chiswick, was employed by the
defendant, Mr. Newman, a gentleman living at Newing-
ton, to build a carriage of a peculiar construction. It
was to support a body of unusual size—in fact, such a
vehicle as a family could travel about and live in night
and day, and thereby avoid the expense of hotels.—(A
laugh.) The length was to be 20 feet, the height 10
feet, and the width 9. While the carriage was in courso
of construction, Mr. Newman directed an alteration, by
'which 5 feet were added to the hind part of the carriage.
A sum of 25/. had been paid on account, and the action
was brought to recover the balance amounting to about
40/.

James Ravenall, a wheelwright, deposed that he
worked for the plaintiff in 1837. He built the car-
riage ordered by the defendant, who was on the pre-
mises several times, suggesting alterations. The car-
riage was then removed to Turnham Green. Heard
Mr. Newman say he would not keep his (plaintiff's)
money an hour after he had got the carriage home. He
expressed himself perfectly satisfied with it.
Cyrus Glazier, a coach-spring maker, did the iron
work of the carriage—it was all done in the best style,
and the prices were reasonable.
Two persons in the trade deposed that the carriage
was well worth from 711. to 73h

Mr. RICHARDS addressed the Jury for the defen-
dant. He would show that there was a specific bar-
gain and contract between the parties, by which the
carriage was to be built for a specific sum of 30/.
Witnesses were called to show that there was a con-
tract to build the carriage for 301., out of which 5/.
had been paid in advance.
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS replied, and the Jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 35/. 17s.

plaintiff is a shipowner of London, carrying on business
under the firm of Marshall and Sons, and the defen-
dants are the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany, who have steamers sailing from London
to all parts of the world. The present action
was brought to recover the lacteal amount
