one of brown Pernambuco at 20s, and 1,000 chests of
yellow Havannah at 223 to 25s per cwt.

ment this week. Deliveries still exceed imports, and
the value is from 16s 6d to 214 for low to fine quality.

little moment.

sellers at rather lower rates; ordinary and good

and there are sellers rather under previous quota-
tions: the market is also well supplied. Of Scented and
Pekoe Tea several parcels have been disposed of, but at
rather lower rates. With an extensive consumption and
low prices it is surprising the Tea market should con-
tinue in an inactive state. To-day the public sales of
2,278 packages of Tea just arrived, went off with ex•
trerne heaviness, and only one lot of Gunpowder, in fancy
boxes, sold at 4s 4d per lb.

701 bags for export only went at 27s 6d per cwt for 10
per cent. refraction.

FRUIT.—TO day Currants met with little inquiry from
exporters; but the home demand was good, and prices
are well kept up. Denis Raisins went off slowly at 295
to 335, but Eleme met with a good sale at 42s to 445, and
Valencia 38s to 40% per cwt.

for 30 to 36 per cent. over proof; at which holders are
firm. For Jamaica full rates are asked, still the sales
made by exporters or home dealers are not of much ma:
ment, and the market is well supplied with low and mid
sorts. Of fine the quantity at market is still small.
Brandy has fetched full rates. For Geneva the market
is quiet; export sort is offered at is 9d to Is lod, and fine

THE ACTION FOR BRIBERY AGAINST THE ATTOIV
NEY-GENERAL.—This action, of which so much ills
been said both in and out of Parliament, came on for
trial on Thursday at Lewes. It was brought by a porsoa
named Nevvmarsh against Sir John Jervis, to recover
penalties for acts of bribery, alleged to have been cote'
witted by the defendant at the last election at Horshare,
at which Mr. Jervis, the son of the defendant, was a can'
didate. This action, as well as another of a similar
character against Mr. Edwin James, the barrister,
stood for trial at the summer assizes last year, but the
record was withdrawn by the plaintiff, and the causes
now brought down by the defendants, by proviso,
in order that they might be disposed of. Mr. Sergeant
Slice, Mr. M. Chambers, and Mr. Ogle, were for the
plaintiff ; Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Gurney, Mr. Clarkson,
Bodkin, and Mr. Peac,,ck were for the defendants. The
Attorney-General was (resent during the trial, and se'
by the side of Sir Fitzroy Kelly. Mr. James also
was present. The ease for the prosecution being
concluded, Sir Fitzroy Kelly submitted that there vflui
no evidence to go to the jury ; whereupon Mr. Justice
Wightman said he was of opinion that there was n°
.
case, and that it was unnecessary farther to occupy tbs
time of the jury. This was an action for penalties, and _
it was not proved that any one of the witnesses had eye'
even spoken to the defendant. The foreman of the,
jury said they were perfectly satisfied, and considered
the case was not made out. Sergeant Shee said that,
after this expressii.n of opinion by the jury, it was use-
less to carry the case any further. A verdict was re-
corded for the defendant. In the case of Mr. James,
also, the jury found a verdict for the defendant.
