TonAcco.—There was a large business done last
month both for home trade and exportation, and sales
may be estimated at 2,276 hhds. The market had re-
sumed a firmer tone, with every appearance of an im-
proved leniency. Some material aleraticns have been
made in the quotations, but extreme prices refer more
especially to parcels of new import, of which sales have
not been effected, but the prices quoted are nearly id per
lb. higher than imports. Sampling has made some pro-
gress, the quality of Virginia is much superior to what was
anticipated, and may be classed as fine, but Kentucky,
although possessing more colour than was expected, will,
We are of opinion, be found deficient in substance, and in-
ferior t. last year's importation. Imports, 3,538 hhds; de-
liveries, 1,124 hhds; against 1,781 bhds at this time last
year. Stock, 25,402 hhds, against 28,905 in 1848. In Vir-
ginia sales have been chiefly of fine and ord for exports-
tion ;',of the new importation nearly 200 hhds were taken
at bid to sid; and 560 hhds of old at 24d to 4d; of
low quality the stock is diminished, and prices are firm.
For Kentucky leaf and strips there has been an improved
demand, and several old parcels have been taken at an
advance of 4 1 to id per lb. Sales have been nearly
1,500 hogsheads, 200 hogsheads of which have
heen taken on speculation. Maryland has been
much inquired after, and 30 hogsheads were
taken principally for home trade at full rates. In
Savannah leaf there has been an improved business
done; Havannah Cigars of good and pure qualities have
been much sought after at high prices. Mid and ord
have also been taken at fair rates. The last shipment,
Weyer, was rather inferior to the previous ones. Ma-
nilla leaf has been much inquired after during the month.

it necessity and charity
only being excepted. It was admitted on the part of the
defendant that he had been exercising his ordinary
calling, but it was said that ordinary calling did not
come within the meaning of the Act. The magistrates
took time to consider the matter, and at last convicted
the defendant. The defendant was then asked for the
penalty, but Mr. Kemp, the solicitor, said it could not be
paid, and thereupon the complainant applied to the ma-
gistrates to issue a distress warrant, which they refused
to do unless the Court of Queen's Bench decided that
they ought. Now, he apprehended the magistrates
either went too far or they did nut go far enough.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—Is there any appeal given?
Mr. PHYNN said there was not.
Mr. Justice PATTEsON—Then,there is no other mode
of enforcing the penalty.
Mr. PHYNN said there was no other mode. The sta-
tute gave the power of distress, and in default of the
distress, the person was to be put in the stocks for two
hours. He apprehended it was a pure question of fact
for the magistrates to decide, first, whether this person
was within the description mentioned in the Act, and,
secondly, whether the work he was employed upon was
or wasn of within the exception, that was to say, whether
or no it was work of necessity or charity. It was not
put before the magistrates in that way, but by their con-
viction they had expressly negatived that it was work of
necessity or charity. If the magistrates had simply
wanted to raise the question for the decision
of the Court, what they ought to have done
would have been to have refused to have re-
ceived the information, as in the case of the " King
and Cox," reported in the 2d " Barrow," page 1785.
There the Magistrates refused to receive an information
against a baker for baking meats and pies on the Lord's-
day, and the Court held that they had done right, as the
work was a work of necessity or charity, inasmuch as it
enabled persons to go to church.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—Yes; but it was held that
the cook baking rolls was not within the exception.
Mr. PHYNN remarked that the question involvhd in
this case was simply one of fact.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—And the magistrates seem to
have determined the point by their decision.
Mr. PILYNN said that was what he contended they
expressly decided, that the person came within the
description of the statute, and that the work was not
within th© exemption there specified.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—You may take a rule to show
cause.
Rule nisi accordingly.

MARLBORO -STREET—THIS DAY.
Mr. William Watson, a wine-merchant residing at No.
44, Craven street, Strand, was placed before Mr. Hard-
wick, charged with having violently assaulted Mr.
Alexander M•Dougal, a solicitor residing in Charles
street, St. James's-square, by striking him several times
with a horsewhip.
The complainant stated that last night, about eleven
o'clock, he was coming out of the Parthenium Club in
Regent-street, when the defendant flew at him and
caught him by the collar of his shirt, which he tore, and
struck him with a heavy whip which he had in his hand,
at the same time saying, "I shall always do this when-
ever I meet you." Defendant was proceeding to follow
up the attack, when a constable came up and immediately
took him into custody, before witness had the opportunity
of striking him (defendant) in his own defence.
Mr. Ledley, the Chief Clerk, inquired whether com-
plainant knew the defendant, and what was the cause of
his committing the assault ?
Complainant said he knew the defendant, but had not
the least conception what led him to assault him. He
had not exchanged a word with him for some four or
five years. Before that period it was his misfortune to
have advanced defendant a considerable sum of money
in his business as a wine-merchant, which, from some
misconduct on his part, complainant thought it neces-
sary for him to withdraw as best he could. That was
all he imagined that led the complainant to commit the
assault.
Sergeant English, 4 C, said he was on duty in Re-
gent-street last night, when he eaw the defendant pa-
rading up and down in IN ont of the Partheeium Club for
more than an hour. Witness watched him, and heard
a person ask him what ho intended to do? Defendant
replied, " He meant to horsewhip a gentleman, and give
him a d-- cut of the head." Witness posted a con-
stable there to watch the defendant while he went round
his beat. About eleven o'clock he was passing again,
and saw the defendant go up to the complainant and
strike him twice with a heavy horsewhip. Witness im-
mediately went up and took him in charge. He was
perfectly sober at the time.
The accused, when called upon for his defence, said—
lam extremely sorry to be placed in this position. Mr.
M'Dougal, though now a solicitor, was for some time
my partner in the wine trade, and has for twenty years
been on terms of intimacy with me. Under the garb
of the strongest friendship he has utterly ruined me,
and I am now entirely dependent on my family for sup.
port. Being a solicitor, he had means, which I have
not, of resorting to stratagems for the purpose of con-
cealing his villany to me, and as the matter for which
I assaulted him was one that the law could not
touch, I felt there was no other course for me to pur-
sue than the one &have ; and, but for the interference
of the police-constable, I should have chastised him
much worse. I know not the motives of his conduct
to me, but having gradually sunk in the scale
of society, compared with that which I had
when he first had any connexion with me
in business. This might have caused him to
show that vindicative feeling towards me which
caused me to chastise him in the way I did. For more
than five years he had pursued the same line of conduct
towards me, and last night was the only chance I had
for some time of meeting him. This is all I have to say.
A solicitor, who attended on the part of the com-
plainant, requested the magistrate not to deal with the
case summarily, as it was too serious a matter to end
here. Ile had no doubt that the defendant was not in
his right mind, and from conversation he had held with
him this opinion was confirmed. He therefore wished
the case to be sent to the session.
Mr. HARDwitex. directed the depositions to be taken
and ordered defendant to enter into his own recog-
nizances in 801., with two sureties in 40/. each, to appear
at Middlesex Sessions, now holden at Hicks' Hall,
Clerkenwell-green.

SOLAR Srors.—The month of November has been
characterised, for these three years past, by the appear-
ance of very large spots oa the sun. At present there
is a very extensive cluster or series of connected spots,
which appear as one spot to the naked eye. The smallest
telescope or opera-glass may discern them as an oblong
mark on the sun, not far from the centre. The entire
length measures, in round numbers, upwards of a
hundred thousand miles of the solar surface; but its
breadth varies from fifteen to thirty thousand. About
twenty spots may be counted, the several penumbra
running into each other with irregular outlines. The
dimensions were taken by a Cavallo micrometer, with
the image of the sun cast upon a white ground, which
reflects the divisions of the scale very palpably.--
Caledonian Mercury.
BYZANTINE AND SARACENIC ART.—The Spanish
influence in the low countries tended to spread and in.
fluence the use of a style of colouring, which, in its es-
sence, was then existing in their own country; and we
find throughout the Hotels de Ville and churches many
bold and even magnificent attempts at polychromatic

act tragedy, by Mr. F. G. Tomlina, secretary of the
Shakspere Society, and author of several works on dra-
matic art and literature, is in rehearsal, and will shortly
be produced at this theatre.

THE SUN, LONDON,

LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

The 9th of November may be a very gay and
jovial day in the city of London, but it is, never-
theless, a great nuisance. It obstructs busires,,
serves the purposes of pickpockets, and offends the
common sense of industrious sober people. Still the
Lord Mayor's Show is looked upon as one of the
institutions of the country, and to speak against it
may be considered something little less than high
treason. This morning, big with the fate of turtles,
opened dull and heavily upon the mighty city, but
as the day advanced the damp hazy fog floating
over the glorious dome of St. Paul's gradually
disappeared, and civic functionaries and gaudily
attired footmen were heard to exchange
mutual congratulations upon being able, after all, to
exhibit their tau3ry finery with the advantage of a
November sun. Long before the city had begun to
assume its wonted bustle and activity, the carpenter's
hammer was sounding forth the noisy note of prep-
tions, and throughout the line of the procession
rickety windows were secured, dusty flags unfurled, and
stout barriers erected, to stop intrusive vehicles. The
Mansion House, of course, was a scene of much
commotion, and during the whole of the
morning policemen, city marshals, and lively
flunkies, with immense bunches of flowers and
unexceptionable limbs, were flitting to and fro in a
dreadful state of excitement ; while at the various
ward halls, beadles, whose shabby-genteel coats were
concealed beneath heavy cloaks fringed with gold
lace, were furbishing up their wands of office, and
drilling the ticketed supernumeraries who were en-
gaged in the pageant. At an early hour
the Lord Mayor was duly installed in
his civic palace, and his Lordship commenced
the duties and pleasures of his office by putting his
cook's abilities to the test, and entertaining his friends
and officers of the household at a sumptuous break-
fast. The well-known venerable coach of state,
drawn by six high-spirited steeds, expressly hired
for the occasion, and caprisoned in massive crimson
trappings, was then ordered to the door, and his
Lordship, attired in his robe and invested with his gold
collar, and attended by his chaplain, the Recorder, the
Swordbearer, the ponderous mace, and the scabbarded
sword, entered the antiquated equipage and drove:off
to the Guildhall, followed by the sheriffs. Here for
the first time he was welcomed and cheered by the
populace (?) as the " Lord Mayor of London," and
having partaken of a luncheon—eating and drinking
forming the principle, and certainly the mos
agreeable, features in the ceremony—his Lord.

ship announced it to be his will and pleasure
that the procession should be arranged in the order in
which it is to move. Accordingly the City Marshal
sets to work, and with the aid of a body of policemen,
whose rough top-coats and glazed hats, present a
singular contrast to the rich showy livery of
his Lordship and the Sheriffs, the men in brass
and steel, with their plumed helmets and
lengthy lances, are safely deposited in the
saddles of their powerful dray horses. The
procession was chiefly composed of dressed- up livery-
men, beefeaters, and porter drinkers; the state
carriages of the Sheriffs, the private carriages of
Aldermen, and the Lord Mayor's coach, guarded by
a company of Guards and a company of Lancers
(Prince Albert's Own), whose splendid bands added
materially to the effect of the exhibition. The proces-
sion having been formed after much shouting, noise, and
prancing about of unruly animals, a flourish of trum-
pets was sounded, when his Lordship resumed his
seat in the state coach, and onward the pageant pro-
ceeded, passing the Bank of England, going along
King William-street, and so on to London-bridge-
stairs, where his Lordship took water.

The river procession • was made up in the usual
manner. First, there was his Lordship's barge, towed
by one of the City Company's boats, then the late
Lord Mayor's barge, and bringing up the rear was
a thick cluster of smaller craft belonging to the
several liveries. The wharfs and bridges throughout
the whole route were numerously crowded with
holiday-making folk, whose hearty plaudits, as his
Lordship and the late Lord Mayor (Sir
James Duke) passed on, could only be exceeded
by the rapidity with which a large quantity
of valuable gunpowder was wasted in firing salutes
from the different prominent points on the river. The ,

appearance of the procession, as it shot through
Westminster-bridge, was hailed by a tremendous

cheer from the workmen engaged in the new Houses

of Parliament. It returned in the same order as far

as Blackfriars•bridge, wbero the pageant was
again re organized, ard the previous signal

of a flourish of - trumpets having been given,

it mond along Bridge street, up Ludgate

hill, round St. Paul's Churchyard, down
Cheapside, and up King-street to the Guildhall. The

streets were lined with crowds of people, who ap-
plauded his Lordship most vociferously, while almost
from the window of every house fair hands waved
snow-white handkerchiefs, and tiny voices echoed
the cheering in the struts with ecstacies of de-
light.

ARRIVAL OF THE LORD MAYOR

AT WESTMIN STEM.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
On the arrival of the civic barges at Westminster-
bridge, the Lord Mayor and the other City function-
aries disembarked, and having formed into proces-
sion, proceeded at once, through Westminster Hall,
to the Court of Exchequer. A great number
of persons had collected on the bridge to witness the
debarkation, and Palace-yard and the Hall were also
crowded with spectators. The Court itself was filled
in every part, and amongst the auditory were several
of the fair sex.

The subsequent proceedings will be given fully in
our next Edition.
