A -DENSE LONDON FOG.

Probably for many years so much confusion has not
prevailed in the metropolis as was caused last night,
when one of the most dense fogs ever witnessed com-
pletely enveloped the whole of London and suburban
districts, causing a complete stagnation to the general
traffic throughout the thoroughfares. At one time, be-
tween eight and nine o'olock in the evening, the great
lines of route leading to the South-Western, the Great
Northern, the North-Western, the Eastern Counties,
and Great Western Railways, were blocked up by a vast
number of vehicles conveying passengers and goods to
the various railways. The different omnibuses on the
several lines were for some time obliged to be preceded
by men carrying lighted links, but at length the vehicles
were obliged to stop altogether, and by that means the
greatest confusion was created, so that it was a work of
no little danger for a pedestrian to cross any of the
roads.

The different vessels proceeding on the river with the
tide had to be moored in the roads above bridge ; the
watermen and lightermen, however, in several instances,
being unable to see the buoys, had no alternative left
but to allow their craft to drift along with the tide, and
several vessels were driven against the piles of the
bridges, and it is feared that some of the watermen hive
met with watery graves. The greatest care was obliged
to be taken by the officials of the railway companies in
starting the trains, and also in seeing that the London
termini were kept clear for the expected incoming trains.
At day break this morning the fog still continued to
hang over the metropolis, and it became denser as the
hours advanced, until by one o'clock the whole of London
was enveloped in such a cloud of darkness that traffic on
the railways and the Thames was almost at a stand
still, and business in the different shops and elsewhere
could only be carried on by the aid of gas light. We
have not yet heard of any casualty.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
IN RE C. W. MATTHEWS.
The bankrupt was described as a butcher, &c., at
Woolwich, and to-day was appointed for consideration
of his certificate.

Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. W. R. Buchanan,
appeared for the assignees ; but the bankrupt not having
paid the fees for insertion of the advertisement, it be-
came necessary to adjourn the meeting. It is a point
in dispute, whether, under the act, the Court is not
bound to cause the insertion of the advertisement out of
the funds of the estate, if any, and it is usually the case
that the money is subsequently returned to the bank-
rupt.

An audit meeting took place, but the proceedings were
devoid of interest.
There were no cases before one o'clock.

SECONDARIES COURT.
(Before Mr. Secondary Potter.)
CLARK V. HELLYARD.-IMPORTANT TO THE COMMERCIAL

WORLD.
This was an action to recover the sum of 181. on a
cheque for money lent. Plaintiff also claimed interest.
Plaintiff was called, and proved the loan of the
amount, and produced a cheque for the same, but which
had not been paid.
The Learned Secondary said that the loan was proved
in his opinion, but he could not allow interest on a
cheque unless notice had been given of the intention to
claim it, it was different from a Bill of Exchange or
promissory note—a cheque would only be taken as cor-
roborative of the loan.
_ _

Mr. Oliver, the plaintiff's solicitor, said that the de•
fendant had had notice on the back of the writ, and put
in an affidavit of the service of the writ.
The Learned Secondary held that was insufficient.
Mr. Oliver then claimed to be sworn, and proved that
the defendant called on the previous day, and said that
if he would wait till this morning he would pay the bill
and interest, and any charges.
The Learned Secondary said he considered that that
would be sufficient.

A juror said, he for one, would not give a verdict for
interest contrary to the usage of trade, and he was sup-
ported in that view by some of his brother jurymen, be-
sides there was no proof of the presentation of the
cheque.

Tile Learned Secondary said that was unnessary, for
the plaintiff's evidence would have been sufficient with-
out the cheque at all, but the verdict was entirely for
the jury, on the evidence which stood uncontradicted.
The jury after a short consultation gave a verdict for
the debt and interest.

THE BROKER LE GRIND.

Five new petitions were presented complaining of the
conduct of the broker Le Grand. The sums mentioned
in the petitions presented up to this time as fraudulently
obtained by him amount to no less than 25,0001. Only
2501. has been recovered from one of his sureties. who
was bondsman for this amount ; the other surety, it was
stated, would be declared a bankrupt if legal measures
were proceeded with to enforce payment of the bond into
which he had entered to a like amount.

Sir R. W. CARDEN presented a petition, signed " E.
Jones," complaining of the conduct of Daniel Elley, a
broker.

The court ordered Mr. H. W. Sewell, the summoning
officer, forthwith to serve copies of the petition upon the
broker and his two sureties.
THE CORPORATION INQUIRY.

Alderman WIRE moved—" That this court are desirous
to assist the inquiry now proceeding before the commis-
sioners appointed by the Crown, and for that purpose
they wish to render to the commissioners all the docu-
ments and information in their power, in order that the
commissioners may have every information which can be
supplied to them by the court or any of its officers, and
that it be referred to the privileges committee to act
accordingly."
The motion wrs seconded by Alderman WILSON, and
carried unanimously.
Alderman WIRE presented a petition, signed by Mr.
W. Ford, of the Blue Anchor, Wormwood-street, com-
plaining that his measures had been duly tested by the
ale conners several times during the last ten months, the
latest occasion being the 7th ult. ; and that he had paid
a fee of ls. (which he had since been informed was ille-
gal) on each examination. Four days afterwards, how-
ever, two other persons, called inspectors of weights and
measures, tested one of the same measures and pro-
nounced it deficient ; and he had in consequence been
fined 55., and branded as a user of false measures. He
therefore prayed that the subject of the inspection of
measures should be taken into consideration with a
view to its bung placed on a more satisfactory footing ;
and he submitted that if measures were required to be
made of glass, accidental injuries reducing them below
the standard capacity would be impossible.
Alderman WIRE hoped that the office of ale conner
was one of those which was doomed to destruction. It
was of very ancient date, and the persons appointed to
it were selected by the livery in common hall. The only
duty they performed was that of receiving a shilling and
drinking a glass of ale.
The petition was referred to the general purposes com-
mittee.

named James Barker, Wm. Stockdale, and Chas. Con-
ner, arc in custody at Leeds, on the charge of a very
daring street robbery, committed on Saturday afternoon,

on his way home on Saturday, and when in Pontefract-
lane he was set upon by three men, who first seized him
by the throat, then knocked him down, and robbed him
of 2/. 2s. in money, a silver pencil•case, and some other
articles. Mr. Edmonds was found afterwards in a state
insensibility,
of and is still seriously ill. The prisoners,
who are residents in the locality of the gas works and
Pontefract-lane, were brought up at the Leeds Court-
house yesttrda,y, but in consequence of Mr. Edmonds
being unable to appear they were remanded until
Friday.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 22,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Sittings in Banco.—Before Chief Justice Jervis.)
The Chief Justice came into court this morning to see
whether there were any motions of pressing importance ;
but there being none such, he immediately afterwards
adjourned the court, he having to meet the other judges
in the Court of Error.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—Before Mr. Justice
Cresswell and a Common Jury.)
SOLOMON V. TODD.-QUESTION OF LIABILITY.
The defendant in this case was one of the owners of
the vessel Ann Bates, and the plaintiff sued him in that
character, to recover the price of certain goods alleged
to have been sold upon his credit.
Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for
the plaintiff; and Mr. noggins, Q.C., and Mr. Char-
neck were for the defendant.
The Ann Bates, it appeared, was sometime ago about
to sail for Rio Janeiro, under the command of Captain
Richardson, and a quantity of goods was purchased of
the plaintiff to send out in her, and the price, 27/
and
was paid. Some more goods, however, went out ;
the plaintiff sought to recover the price of these extra
goods, upon the ground that they had been sold upon
the joint credit of Captain Ric arhdsonson ha and d
the owners d
of the Ann Bates. Captain Richard since die
abroad, and the plaintiff, therefore, sued the present
defendant.
The case for the defendant was that the extra goods
were not sold at all, or sold only upon the credit of
Captain Richardson, and not upon that of the defendant.
The jury retired from court to consider the matter,
but in a short time they came back and gave a verdict
for the defendant.

MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
English wheat. On the whole a fair average business was
transacted in that grain, at fully Monday's prices.
The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 16,000
quarters. For country consumption there was a steady
inquiry, and the quotations were well supported. In
floating cargoes, next to nothing doing.
Barley and malt sold slowly, at the late decline. The
supplies were tolerably good.
The supply of Irish oats was large, yet the oat trade
ruled steady, at full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

BRISTOL AND EXETER.

Some time since an action was brought against this
company for the extra fare which they had demanded of
a passenger, who was compelled to return by au express
train after he had taken an ordinary return ticket. The
judge then ruled, that as nothing was said, either on the
placards distributed about the station, or on the ticket,
that anything extra was to be paid for express trains,
they were not justified in demanding it. Since that de-
cision the company have issued fresh handbills, in which
they have inserted that the return fares mentioned on
them are for " ordinary " trains only.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday the first court under the present mayoralty
was held, and

The LORD MAYOR in taking the chair, expressed the
sense he felt of the honour which had been done him by
his election to the civic chair.
Sir PETER LAURIE moved a vote of thanks to the late
Lord Mayor, which was seconded by Alderman Fare-
brother, and carried unanimously.
Alderman COPELAND, with a view to demonstrate that
this court was not so useless a body as had been repre-
sented, moved for a return of the number of courts and
committees held during the year ; the like of Emmanuel
Hospital, the attendance of aldermen at the Central Cri-
minal Court, at quarter sessions, at the justice-room at
Guildhall, at meetings to license persons to sell game,
and to hear summons for non-payment of rates ; also a
separate return of the number and result of the commit-
tals from the city to the Central Criminal Court. Or-
dered unanimously.
Alderman LAWRENCE, alluding to a statement made
by a witness before the commissioners, to the effect that
nineteen members of the court had met at the Mansion
House, and subscribed 1,9001. towards the election of a
brother alderman, asked if his lordship was aware of any
such thing ?

The LORD MAYOR categorically denied all knowledge
of such a transaction. He had, however, known alder-
men subscribe to assist late aldermen who had been in
unfortunate circumstances. (Hear, hear.)
Alderman COPELAND looked upon the statement of the
witness who charged them with subscribing 1,9001.
towards the election of Sir John Key as a vile aspersion.
He believed that the person who had given the infor-
mation had told a gratuitous falsehood for purposes of
detraction.

Other members of the court protested their entire ig-
norance of the affair.

Sir P. LAURIE—Wait till all the evidence is pub-
lished, and then we shall be able to give a satisfactory
answer to all charges, as we did in the case of Bethlehem
Hospital. (Hear, hear.) . _

Alderman WiLsoN had been an alderman 23 years,
and had never known money subscribed by members of
the court towards any election whatever. (Hear.)
Alderman HUIkiPHERY-I was present when it was
moved (as it was by one of the aldermen) that a subscrip-
tion be raised for the purpose of Sir J. Key s election. I
opposed the proposition, and it was immediately repu-
diated. lam sure that no money was subscribed.

THE BROKER LE GRAND.

Five new petitions were presented complaining of the
conduct of the broker Le Grand. The sums mentioned
in the petitions presented up to this time as fraudulently
obtained by him amount to no less than 25,0001. Only
2501. has been recovered from one of his sureties. who
was bondsman for this amount ; the other surety, it was
stated, would be declared a bankrupt if legal measures
were proceeded with to enforce payment of the bond into
which he had entered to a like amount.

Sir R. W. CARDEN presented a petition, signed " E.
Jones," complaining of the conduct of Daniel Elley, a
broker.

The court ordered Mr. H. W. Sewell, the summoning
officer, forthwith to serve copies of the petition upon the
broker and his two sureties.

FENCHURCH-STREET STATION.

This station, which has been erected partly on the site
of the old terminus of the Blackwall Railway in Fen-
church-street, was opened for public traffic on Monday.
At present it is only used by the Blackwall and North-
London (Camden-town) trains, those from the Eastern
Counties and Tilbury (Gravesend) lines not being brought
there until the works now in progress are completed,
widening the Blaekwall Railway from Fenchurch-street
to the Haydon-square junction. The works have been
examined and approved by Captain Simmonds, the Go-
vernment inspector.

BOROUGH HOP.
The demand for all kinds of hops has become very dull,
and to effect sales, lower prices must be accepted.

LORD BROUGHAM.—Doctor Seve, of Cannes, has ad-
dressed the following letter to the Union du Var :
"In a former number of your estimable journal it is
stated that 'Lord Brougham appears to have retired
from public life, and to have fixed his residence at
Cannes, in order to devote himself to the care of his
broken constitution.' It is my duty, as the physician
of the Brougham family at Cannes, to correct an error
calculated to afflict the numerous friends of the noble
lord and the entiro scientific world. Never did Lord
Brougham enjoy more perfect health during the twenty
years which he has visited our country."
THE GOLD MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 3 per mine discount (according to the last
tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.091; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 24.971, it follows that gold is about 0.48 per cent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham-
burg the price of gold is 420 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stan-
dard gold, gives an exchange of 12.28 ; and, the ex-
change at Hamburg on London at short being 13.1, it
follows that gold is 0.65 per cent. dearer in Hamburg
than in London. The course of exchange at New York
on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent.,
the par of exchange between England and America
being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange
is nominally 0.17 per cent, in favour of England ; and,
after making allowance for charges of transport, the
present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of
gold from the United States. It is understood that
Messrs. Baring are remitting 300,0001. in half-imperials
to St. Petersburg, on account, it is presumed, of the
Russian Government. The additional shipments by
other firms were to the amount of about 80,0001.
FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE.—A frightful crime was
committed at Figueras, in Spain, on the 9th. A man
and his wife, who had long been on bad terms, had a
violent quarrel, during which the husband took up his
youngest child, aged four years, and threw it out of the
window into the street. He then with a hatchet in-
flicted three dreadful wounds on the head of his wife.
A gamekeeper armed with a carbine came up and called
upon the man to surrender, but he refused, and, taking
his gun, fired at the gamekeeper, but missed him. The
gamekeeper then discharged his carbine, and shot the
man through the head. The mother and child were
taken to the hospital with no hope of recovery.

by the throat, then knocked him down, and robbed him
of 2/. 2s. in money, a silver pencil•ca,se, and some other
articles. Mr. Edmonds was found afterwards in a state
of insensibility, and is still seriously ill. The prisoners,
who are residents in the locality of the gas works and
