From a superficial view it would appear that we had
fallen in debt 156,000,000 dollars in six years, and that last
year we were in arrears 52,000,000 dollars, the latter sum
alone greater than every dollar we have in the country. In
the face of all this apparent balance against us, we have
been receiving immense sums constantly from Europe.
How does this happen ? The fact is, the statement is
fallacious, and although it is correct, yet it should be ex-
plained—for instance, all the whaling and fishing trade ap-
pears against us, when it is really in our favour. When
the ships depart they take no cargo, but when they return
they bring very valuable cargoes ; several millions are
therefore imported, still the country has nothing to pay
for it, the same having been earned by the industry of our
seamen. So with an immense number of our freighting
vessels which earn a rich freight out to Europe, and invest
the same in foreign goods, which, when imported, appear
so much, when the same has been paid for. By the skill
and industry of our seamen numerous other items might be
enumerated to show that the tables, however well they ap-
pear, are not to be relied on, and to the casual reader fur-
nish an incorrect view of the ease.

Stocks have been creeping up almost every day this
week. United States Bank, and indeed almost every de-
scription of solid stocks, have gone up, and even the fancies
stand better. The money market is getting relieved, which
is plainly shown by the rise of stocks. The following have
been the daily operations :
Saturday, p.m.—All descriptions are firmer, although
there is no great change.
Monday, p.m.—Stocks are firm, particularly local banks ;
United States Bank, Delaware, Dry Dock, State Bank,
Morris, and Boston, and Providence ; while Mohawk, Har-
lem, Paterson, and Atlantic, American, and Southern Trust,
and several others, are as low as ever. Although the banks
discount with tolerable freedom, yet money is scarce in
Wall-street, and high rates are given on all the fancies.
Tuesday, p.m.—All the solid stocks are improving, and
indeed all descriptions stand better. The money-market is
getting decidedly easier. The period of bank dividends,
the Ist of January, is arriving, and this, no doubt, has some
influence on prices. United States Bank is up to 120,
firm ; Union and State all better ; Delaware a little better,
but it left off heavy ; Dry Dock sold higher. A good deal
done in stocks, and generally at better prices.
Wednesday, p.m.—Stocks were flat to-day, and less do-
ing than common. All cash sales are low, while time sales
are brisk.

Friday, p.m.—Stocks are down again to-day ; this is the
third day that they have fallen. The money-market is
tight—the banks will discount only to those absolutely ne-
cessary. Their line of discounts must be small until the
Ist of January. It is difficult to discriminate—all on the
list have declined a little.

ENORMOUS TURNIP.—A turnip of the red-top
kind has lately been produced upon the farm occupied by
Mr. E. Walker, at West Newton, Holderness, which has
been inspected by many respectable individuals, who pro-
nounce it to be the finest that has ever been seen in this
part of the country. The circumference is forty-two inches,
and the weight twenty-nine pounds, sixteen ounces to the
pound. The grower congratulates himself on having dis-
covered an excellent substitute for the celebrated cow•cab-
bage.—Hull Observer.
EXTRAORDINARY Sow.--During the last few
days Mr. Thomas Dean, of the Black Swan Inn, North
Cave, slaughtered a sow only a little more than a year old,
which within five weeks had brought him a litter of pigs.
Notwithstanding that occurrence, when killed it weighed
thirty-two stone eleven pounds, which is considered an
almost unparalleled circumstance.--Hull Observer.

For two years previous to the last summer, trade was
so brisk at Birmingham that with difficulty operatives could
be obtained to complete the foreign orders ; but latterly
business has become extremely slack in the town, chiefly
owing to the falling off in the orders for America, caused by
the failure of the last harvest in the United States, and a
consequent diminution in their imports and exports ; but
the masters and operatives at Birmingham entertain hopes
that the trade of the town will speedily revive.

near Northallerton, on Tuesday, a pheasant got up, at
which he fired, and a hawk passing at the same time within
the range of the gun he killed them both.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR',S COURT, JAN. 19.
iensirs 11tATI1.

Mr, KNIGHt applied for an injuhetiOn against the defen-
dants to restrain them from proceeding to tae bricks,
tiles, &c, by the meats of a tertain machine or apparatus
for which the plaintiff had obtained a patent: From the
affidavits in support of the motion it appear,24.l that the plain-
tiff discovered a tie* and lucrative mode of mantitotoring
bricks in the course of iSfis; and in the autumn of that year
obtained a patent for his iuventldd, This invention con-
sisted of a wheel round the circumferena! which there
were receptacles for clay and brick earth, in the Ilifir! of
the brick to be made. Each of these had a false bottoai,
called a pallet, to which was connected a piston and rod,
so formed as to raise the pallet. The whole circulated
over an inclined plane, and as it passed, it touched the pis-
ton in turn, raised the pallet, and threw out the brick.
Each receptacle in its tur❑ received other clay, on which
the same operation was performed, and the great benefit
of the invention was the preservation of the brick in its
proper shape, and preventing waste, which in all former
machines for making bricks, was more or less incurred.
The defendants, who resided at Birmingham, and carried
on partnership together, were discovered since the date of
the plaintiff's patent to he working a machine constructed an
precisely the same principle, and the present motion was
to restrain the use of the machine, on the ground that it
was an invasion of the plaintiff's patent.
Mr. JACOB opposed the injunction.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said his opinion was the plain-
tiffs ought to bring an action immediately, and the only
question was, what should be done in the meantime. He
thought that inasmuch as bricks were excisable articles,
and therefore a regular account would be kept against the
defendant, it would not be necessary to grant the injunction
until the action could be determined.
