be transported. They also burnt the cotton of which
the breastworks were constructed. The flotilla cast
off at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, and were fol-

said to be of great strength, and if properly manned
could have successfully resisted a large force. The

since over the Hatchie River. When the De Sota,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—June 19.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Keating
and a Commou Jury.)
KEATING V. STEWART.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a
printer, against the defendant, a Miss Agnes
Stewart, to recover the sum of £67 odd for work
done, &c.
Mr. Brett, Q.C., and Mr. Garth were counsel for
the plaintiff; Mr. Mills, Q.C., and Mr. Charles
Russell for the defendant.

It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff that
the defendant, in the month of April last, started a
magazine entitled the "Rose and Thistle Magazine,"
and engaged the plaintiff to print it for her. Re
had complied with her order, and now claimed the
sum of £67.

The defendant called no witnesses, but it was
contended that plaintiff was not entitled to recover,
in consequence of the bad condition in which he had
printed the book, there being mistakes in almost
every third page, and some of the pages contained
as many as five or six mistakes.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
damages, £62 Bs. 6d.

fbittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, after Term,
before Mr. Baron Wilde, and a Special Jury.)
LEVERSON V. CARNEGIE.-MADAME RACHEL AND
TIIE ENAMELLING PROCESS.

This was an action for goods sold and delivered,
for work and labour done, and materials supplied,
and on an account stated. The defendant pleaded
never indebted.

Mr. Davison was counsel for tha plaintiff, and
Mr, Karsiake and Mr. Hayward appeared for the
defence.

transparent without stopping up the pores, or plas-
tering it over. The cost of the process greatly,
depends on the result to be arrived at. Mrs. Car-
negie was delighted with her appearance after I
had attended her three or four times. She said she
would like to be made beautiful for ever. (Laughter.)
Mr. Baron Wilde—And so far as you know the
benefit you have conferred is permanent ?
Witness—l am certain of it. (Continued
laughter)
Mr. Baron Wilde—Do I understand you to say
that you have made her beautiful for ever ?
Witness—Yes. (Great laughter.)
Mr. Baron Wilde—Are four applications neces-
sary ?
Witness—Allow me to explain. If a lady is not
disfigured or scarred one will be quite sufficient; but
I appeal to any medical man whether, if she is, the
process must not be repeated. An offer was made
to me to pay £5O for a settlement of the claim, but
I refused it.

Mr. Karslake submitted that the plaintiff ought
to be nonsuited, on the ground that there was no
evidence to show that the wife had an express or
implied authority from her husband to enter into a
contract with Madame Rachel in respect of the ena-
melling process.
Mr. Baron Wilde said it would be better to take
the opinion of the jury on the point, and, if neces-
sary, he would give the learned counsel leave to
move.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT RACES-THURSDAY.

In spite of the unfavourable aspect of the weather, very
slight diminution was perceptible in the attendance on the
Cup-day, either in the stands or upon the course. The
former was so crowded that many ladies had difficulty in
finding seats, and walking in the enclosure was no easy
undertaking. Carriages eight deep were ranged along the
railings of the course, from the winning-post to far below
the distance; and there is no doubt that more would have
been there had the inducement of a sight of Royalty been
added to the popularity of a horserace. The programme of
the sport was ample, ten events having to be decided ; but
two only seemed to rivet the attention of the spectators—
the Cup and the Xetv Stakes. Until the first of these
(standing forth on the card) had been run, the threatening
rain held off, but began to fall in a few minutes afterwards,
and rendered the hour of luncheon uncomfortable. Among
the many improvements noticeable on and about the race-
ground it was matter of wonder to ladies and gentlemen in
the stand that the name of the race to be run for was not
shown upon the new telegraph, above the numbers and
names of the horses and their jockeys. The business portion
of the sport began by a walk-o'er, and a fractious horse ran
away with his little rider before going to the post for the
second race ; the lad threw himself off, but was not hurt.
The Cup afforded a most exciting contest, the winner and
the second having raced together stride for stride from the
half-distance to the judge's chair; Zetland showing him-
self to be a very good horse in a long and truly-run race.
Lord W. Powlett immediately afterwards gave Mr. Jack-
son 2,500 guineas for Tim Whiffler, and in two hours the
horse was saddled for the Royal Stand Plate, which be won
with ease after making the whole of the running. Blue
Mantle displayed his quality and his constitution by win-
ning the New Stakes with as much ease as the Triennial
on Wednesday. It was a subject of general remark that an
equal number of good horses to that which has appeared at
Ascot this week has not for many years been brought out
at any race meeting. Betting on future events was at a
standstill, and the abundant sport was not brought to a
conclusion until 20 minutes past 7 o'clock. • Special and
ordinary trains, 27 in number, ran between Ascot and
Waterloo after half-past 5 o'clock. It is needless to add
that they were all well filled.

A Parliamentary return has just been issued, on the
motion of Mr. Ingham, exhibiting the number and ionnage
of the sailing and steam vessels registered at each port of
the United Kingdom, &c., shipping entered and cleafed)
&c. These returns are made up to the 31st of Dec. last.
The numbers of vessels registered in the three kingdoms
are—Sailing vessels of and under 50 tons 9,866, tonnage
301,885 ; sailing vessels above 50 tons 16,039, tonnage
3,998,C33; steam vessels of and under 50 tons 857, tonnage
19,745, steam vessels above 50 tons 1,276, tonnage 486,563.
The tables showing the coasting trade prove that foreign-
vessels participate in this trade to a very trifling extent.
In the trade with our colonies foreign shipping is employed
to a considerably greater number—British sailing ships
entered inwards from the colonies 5,437, tonnage 2,109,854
foreign ships 876, tonnage 494,690. This is exclusive of
steam vessels employed in the colonial trade. Of these,
661, of 196,578 tonnage, entered inwards, while only two
foreign steam vessels, tonnage 928, entered our ports from
the colonies. With respect to the trade to foreign ports we
will take the numbers cleared from our ports. Firstly,
willing vessels, with respect to which it will be found that
the foreign shipping is greatly in excess of our own so em-
ployed. British ships 17,809, tonnage 3,149,454; fcreign.
ships 24,993, tonnage 4,806,225. This, however, is inde-
pendent of the amount of the same trade by steam vessels,
where the excess is, on the other hand, large in British
against foreign vessels. Exclusive of the steam trade to
foreign ports from the Channel Islands (included in the
previous parts of this abstract in British shipping, but
which is very small), the number of British steam vessels
cleared outwards for foreign ports was 6,098, tonnage
2,062,158; foreign steam vessels 1,058, tonnage 306,628.
Here the great disparity in the foreign trade between steam
and sailing vessels in very remarkable.

Our market this morning was more numerously attended
than of late. For English wheat holders were firm in re-
quiring an advance of is to 2s per quarter, and for foreign
9d to 6d per 1001bs, but the business done was only mode-
rate. Flour held for 6d to la per sack dearer, with a slow
salo. Oats and oatmeal were steadg. Indian corn was 6d
dearer in price. Beans at late rates.
