them :

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 9.—The negotiation of the
English Ministry with the Danish Government, to
obtain some modifications of the existing quarantine
regulations in favour of English ships passing through
the Sound to the Baltic, are at length terminated. The
models of the English certificates to be delivered
having been considered, the board of quarantine has
sent the necessary instructions to Elsinore. Hitherto
ships laden with infected or suspected goods were re•
quired to be examined at Elsinore by the Board of
Quarantine, and then if it was judged necessary, to
perform quarantine at the island of Leproe ; but now
English ships furnished with certificates from the
quarantine officer at Stangate Creek, Milford Haven,
and Prombe Pool, need only to have the certificates
counter-signed by the Danish quarantine Board
in order to pass the Sound, and to be
admitted in the Prussian and Russian ports in
the Baltic, the two Governments being satisfied with
the above regulations. The Russian Government,
however, requires that the Danish quarantine officer
shall give a separate certificate, declaring that sus-
pected goods, such as cotton and the like, which are
susceptible of infection, have been purified at one of
the above-mentioned English stations, without which
separate certificates the English certificates will not be
regarded.

TIIE WEATIIER.—The proverbial changeable-
ness of the climate of England has never been more
fully illustrated than within the present week. The
temperature which during Monday was remarkasly
mild, with rain:during the night, had on Tuesday morn-
ing sunk to 36 degrees, being only within four degrees

ents and paths became perfectly dry, and when
evening set in the stars shone in the cloudless heaven
with uncommon brilliancy, and about ten o'clock the
moon rose, as it is termed, "on her back," betokening
, a frosty night. At an early hour on Wednesday
morning the thermometer in the open air stood at '24
degrees, being eight degrees below freezing point, the
pools being coated with ice a third of an inch thick, and
the trees, &c., covered with hoar frost. During the
early part of the morning the wind was south-west, but
about eight o'clock, a dense fog came on, during which,
about ten o'clock, the wind shifted to the west, from
which quarter it continued to blow during the do).
The fog in the city up to eleven o'clock was so dense
that business was almost at a stand, and the gas in the
shops, &c., was lighted. About that hour, however,
the fog began to clear off, although it still continued
very thick in the suburbs, particularly westward.
About half-past one o'clock a sudden change took place
in the temperature, the thermometer rising to 40 de-
grees, and shortly afterwards it commenced raining,
which after a quarter of an hour became intermingled
with large flakes of snow. That continued at intervals
during the afternoon until five o'clock, when a soaking
rain descended, which continued without intermission
the whole of the night.
FIRE IN CIIANDOS-STREET.—ThiS morning
a few minutes before ten o'clock, an alarming fire broke
out in the back hay, straw, and corn-warehouses be-
longing to Mr. Randall, corn-merchant, residing at No.
60, Chandos-street, Covent-garden. The engines were
quickly got into operation, the hoses were carried
through narrow passages, and there being an excellent.
supply ofu,stci,LLe fir,; was extinguiziled by
o'clock.

In consequence of the dulness of trade at
Paisley, Dunfermline, and Dundee, great numbers of
workmen have beea thrown out of employment. The
Dunfermline trade, the table-linen cloth manufacture,
is greatly depressed, owing to the embarrassed state of
the money market in the United States. At Paisley
subscriptions have been made for the relief of the unem-
ployed workmen and their families. The number at
Dundee is said to amount to nearly 2,000.
The Commerce Beige states that a report pre-
vails of a merchant at Brussels, who is going to be
married to a young July of Frankfort on the Maine,
daughter to a rich banker, whose fortune is to be
100,000 florins. It was M. Lebeau, Envoy Extraordi-
nary to the German Confederation, who negociated the
marriage. Both are Jews.

CHANCERY COURT. ('PHIS DAY.)

WELLESLEY V. WELLESLEY.
Mr. WIGRAM replied this morning in this case , and
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judg-
ment on Saturday.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE EARL OF STAMFORD.

This case, which relates to the regulation of certain
charities in Manchester, was postponed till Saturday
with the concurrence of Sir Charles Wetherell.

The COURT then proceeded to hear original causes,
his Lordship having disposed of all the appeals that
were ready for hearing.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS I)AY.)

NEWLAND V. HOLMES.

Mr. JAMES RUSSELL applied in this case ex-parte
for a special injunction to restrain the defendants from
taking out execution against the separate property of
the pldntiff. Tile plaintiff, who is the wife of a gen-
tleman named Newland, under her father's will became
possessed of certain leasehold houses in West-square
for her own separate use, and not liable to the debts
and control of her husband. Since her marriage the
plaintiff and her husband had resiced in one of tlw
houses, the furniture in which it was sworn by the
plaintiff had been derived under her father's will, sub-
ject to the seine conditions as the leasehold pro-
perty. An action of trespass had been brought
against the husband of the plaintiff, and in that action
erdict for 2001. damages had been returned, to re-
cover which the defendants were about to take out exe-
cution against the separate property of the plaintiff, and
to restrain him from doing this was the object of the
present application.
His HONOUR immediately granted the injunction.
The COURT the❑ proceeded with motions.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

MERRY V. CHAPMAN.

In this case an individual named Wright, who was
in the custody of the Marshal of the Queen's Bench
at the suit of the plaintiff, was scared to go beyond
the rules, and was there arresi_ed by the plaintiff,
who detained him and brought an action against the
Marshal for allowing the prisoner to escape.
It was pleaded on behalf of the defendant that the
plaintiff had conspired to get the prisoner beyond the
ralf!4, in order that he might have ground of action
against i!le Marshal, and compel him to pay the debts,
and on this ground a verdict was given for the defen-
&int. A new ti-:t1 was afterwards moved for on behalf
of the plaintiff, and a ;Pie granted,
not distinctly proved that
The Cotrar thought it way
the plaintiff had got the prisoner out of the rules for the:
purpose alleged, and therefore made the e absolute.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS D.Q.Y.

Sittings at Nisi Prius before the Lord Chief Baron.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BOND.-SPECIAL JURY.

INGENIOUS MODE OF SMUGGLING.

Mr. Jaavis (with whom was Mr. Cavile) stated the
nature of the case. This was an information filed by
the Attorney, General against the defendant, Mr.
Bond, who was charged with being concerned in the
illegal removal of a quantity of foreign brandy, the duty
being unpaid. There were several other counts charging
him with h irbouring and concealing the brandy. The
Learned Gentleman then proceeded to state that there
was a considerable difference between the amount of
duty payable on brandy and on French wine, the duty
on the former being 11. 2s. Gd, per gallon, and on the
latter ss. Gd., and therefore if any person could succeed
in passing brandy nominally as wine he would obtain a
considerable advantage over the fair trader, and serious
loss would be sustained by the revenue. It was for so
doing that the present charge was preferred against the
defendant, who was the chief steward of the London
and Havre Steam Packet Company, On the 6th of
October six hogsheads arrived in the Kent steamer
from Boulogne, consigned to a person named Smith, by
which name the defendant Bond was known. These
hogsheads were deposited in the Queen's warehouse.
On the 13th October a prime entry was made
for six hogsheads of French wine, the de-
fendant being present at the time under a
a feigned name ; the entry being made by a person
named M‘Laren, who was acting as agent for the
defendant. On the same day it was the duty of the
gauger to ascertain the contents of the hogshead, and
accordingly Baxter, the officer, accompanied by a per-
son named Knowledge started the bungs, and tasted
each. The first fire appeared to be what they had been
represented, namely, French wine, but on tasting the
sixth, Baxter found it be brandy. Upon this discovery,
the defendant represented that his agent abroad had
made a mistake in sending brandy instead of wine, He
was informed that the brandy must be seized, but if he
petitioned the Board he would probably obtain per-
mission to re-export it. On the same day the defendant
employed a carman to remove the five casks, but some
mistake having arisen as to the numbers, the carman
was ordered to attend next day which he did, the
defendant, in the name of Gibbons, having attended to
rectify the mistake. The five casks were on the 14th
delivered to the carman, in the presence of the defendant,
who directed him to drive to Thames-street, and there
wait for further orders. He was afterwards ordered to
drive to Water-lane, and thence to an obscure place
in the neighbourhood of Smithfield, where he was met
by the defendant Bond, and two persons named
Shillibere and Collins. The hogsheads were left
there. On the 16th three of them were removed to
King's-place, Camden Town, in presence of the de-
fendant. Some information having been obtained by the
officers of Customs, they went to that place, and found
a large vat filled with brandy, and some casks also con-
taining brandy, which they seized. In consequence of
the same information they went to the warehouse, and
examined the sixth hogshead, in which they found a
tube inserted under the bung, which passed from one
side of the cask to the other. This tube no doubt had
originally contained wine, which having leaked out, had
been replaced by some of the brandy from the cask.
The officers again proceeded to Camden Town, where
they found several portions of tubes corresponding with
that found in the cask left in the warehouse. He (Mr.
Jarvis) had not the least doubt of being able to make
out the case to the satisfaction of the Jury. He in-
tended to call Collins, one of the accomplices, to whose
testimony they would of course only give credence so
far as it was corroborated by that of the other witnesses.
The Learned Gentleman then called several witnesses
to prove his opening statement.
Mr. HUMFREY then addressed the jury on the be-
half of the defendant, submitting that the evidence was
not conclusive that the vat at Camden Town contained
any part of the contents of the casks removed from the
warehouse on the 14th Oct., and that the defendant was
not sufficiently connected with them, except bythe evidence
of Collins, who was not entitled to credit. On these
grounds, therefore, he trusted the verdict would be for
the defendant, to whom the Jury were bound to give
the benefit of any doubts which might exist in the case.
Mr. JARVIS then replied, after which his Lordship
summed up the evidence, and the Jury retired to con-
sider their verdict.
