THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, JOSE I.—The arrivals this week are moderate
of all articles. There is a poor show of wheat, yet the trade
is slow and prices unaltered. Oats and shelling meet with
little inquiry and are rather lower. Beans in fair demand at
late rates. In barley and other articles no change.

Livx►;rooa, JUNE I.—Our supplies from Ireland and coast-
wise, since Tuesday, have been again trifling, and from foreign
ports we have received only limited quantities of wheat, Indian
corn, and flour. With the exception of 11,462 qua►ters of
Indian corn and 3,212 barrels of flour, the exports in the same
time have been unimportant. Notwithstanding the small ar-
rivals, Indian corn has not been in so brisk demand, and Fri-
day's prices were barely supported. In other articles tl crc has
been little doing, and no new feature worthy of remark has
occurred. The weather has been fine, with occasional showers,
and ail accounts agree as to the general satisfactory appear-
ance of the growing crops. At this day's market the attend-
ance of the country dealers was unusually small, and, in the few
transactions reported in wheat and flour, buyers had slightly
the advantage. Oats were quite neglected. Oatmeal, with a
slow sale, was 3d to 6d per load lower. In barley, beans, and
peas, there was little doing, and no change in value to report.
Only a limited inquiry was experienctd for Indian corn, and
37s per quarter must be quoted the top price of prime yellow.
NVA BURY, NAY 31:—The supply of wheat to-day is a

fair a.v,Fas, e, . and although ;Ugric:lane is reported as rather
improv ed:through the exceedingly depressed state of the flour
markets; it had no effect upon our trade, and we have the same
lifeless demand as last week; at unaltered rates. Barley but
little in offer, with scarcely any demand, at late rates. Beans,
oats, anal peas, short supply, and the prices of last week wer4
fully supported.

Exnva, JUNE I.—Cattle—The market to day has been
very laa•ge, especially of beasts, of which more have been
driven than on any market day for a long period previous.
A more gratifying fact is, that there was a large attendance of
dealers, many from a distance, by which means a good clear-
ance was effected at improved prices. Fat beef, especially,
went off briskly, the best articles selling freely at 8s 6d and up
to Os peri score. Cows and 'calves were rather an exception,
the deaiaz d being sluggish ; prices ranged from 6/ to 131. The
Guerns'eks mentioned in our 'last were again driven in, but
they did fmot meet with much favour, although a fair lot and
well seas aped in calf, the prices were thought too high (101 to
121 each e,, and at a late hour most of them remained unsold.
Barrener s, although there Were many in the market, sold at
bet'er rates than lately, genie of the best fresh ones making
63 per score, and the quotation ranging from 43 to the lat-
ter figur ea A few working oxen were sold at from 251 to
281 per pair. Steers were more numerous, and sold at 12!
to' 24/ per pair. Several lots of North Devon yearlings
were driven in, nearly 'all of Which were sold at 31 lOs

shire, was again very large, : and sold readily at 35; to

LAW IN TELLIGEN CE.
VICE CHANCERY COURT, June 1.
(Before Vice Chancellor KNIGHT BaucE•)
THE ROYAL ETCHINGS.
PRINCE ALBERT V. STRANGE—THE ATTDRNEY GENERAL

V. STRANGE.

This cause and information stood on the paper to-
day fox hearing. On their being called on,

'The
SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the ease came
before the Court upon a cause and information, which
it would be unnecessary for him to open in detail. The
Court would doubtless recollect the facts of the case
as they were detailed before it upon two
motions, in which the Court granted injunctions
which were afterwards affirmed by the Lord Chancellor
upon appeal. The cause now came on for hearing,
and all ho proposed to ask the Court to do was
to grant a perpetual injunction against ell the
defendants to the effect of the temporary
injunction
that had already been granted upon the hearing of the
motions, and also to ask for the delivery up of the cata-
logues for the purpose of having them destro) ed,
and also the delivery up of the etchings for
a similar purpose by the defendant Judge. The
title of the plaintiffs was shown by the admission in
the answer of the defendants to the etchings and en-
gravings, and the fact was also proved that the
etchings had been improperly obtained. Ile
apprehended that it would not be proper
on his part to go into the facts of the case in detail,
until he knew what course his Learned Friends, who
appeared for the defendant, intended to pursue. With
respect to the costs, Mr. Judge had thought fit,
since, the hearing of the motion to obtain an order
to allow him to defend in forml pauperis, so
tb ea wit's respect to him he could only ask for the costs
ale to the date of that order. As to Mr.
Strange, he was inclined to think
Ibe might
have been misled by the representations that
had been made to him, and he should not therefore
be disposed to ask for a hostile decree with respect to
costs against him, though ho felt bound to call the atten-
tion of the Court to the fact that en the hearing of the
motion it was offered that all proceedings should be
stayed upon the defendant's giving up the etchings and
engravings.
Mr. J. RUSSELL stated that he appeared for Mr.
Strange, and considering the liberal way in which
it was proposed to take the decree against him
ho should certainly be inclined to advise him to accept it,
but if neither Mr. Strange or his solicitor were present,
perhaps the Solicitor-General would allow the matter to
stand over till he had consulted with him. He should
certainly advise Mr. Strange to take the decree, but he
had then no instructions upon the subject.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was Willing to adopt that
course, but it must be understood there was no com-
promise.. SMITH appeared for the defendant Judge, and
lir.s
to some part of the decree proposed he had great objec-
tions. He objected to that part with respect to the de-
livery up of the etchings, and also with respect to the
costs. Under these circumstances, he thought it
would bo better for the Solicitor-General to read the
evidence, and go into the case in the regular way. Mr.
Judge, however, did not intend to go on with the exhi-
bitions, and, therefore, he did not object to that part of
the decree.
.The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was willing to adopt that
course. The Learned Gentleman then went into a
thisthe Lborrdanc Chhancellor. The
statement of the facts of the case, the whole of which we
gave in detail both on the occasion of the injunction

of the Court

Learned Gentleman concluded by asking for the decree

t 0
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD was proceeding to read the
evidence, when
Mr. J. RUSSELL stated that Mr. Strange's son was now
in court, and he bad authorised him to state that his
father would consent most willingly to the decree that
the Illustrious Plaintiff suggested, considering that the
offer was a most liberal one.
Mr. WARREN, who was also counsel for Mr. Strange,
observed that the words used by his Learned Friend the
Solicitor-General, with respect to Mr. Strange, that he
might have been misled, was extremely handsome and
generous on the part of the Crown.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD then proceeded to road the
evidence.
Mr. S. SMITE objected to the reading of it, on the
ground that it was not entitled in the proper suit,
The VICE-CHANCELLOR overruled the objection.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOORD then continued to read the
evidence, and alto the answer cf Judge, which was not
filed when the motion for the injunction was made. In
that answer Judge admitted that he had obtained
the impressions from a workman of Mr. Brown's, who
sold them to him as spoiled or dirty impressions.
Mr. S. SMITH then proceeded to address the Court on
behalf of Judge. His client had no wish to shelter him-
self under auything except the bare facts of the ease.
He was sorry that his Learned Friend the Solicitor-
Gmerol had pugged a different course towards his

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT, June 1.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)
IN RE HENRY HjIIRCHIER.
The insolvent, a Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy,
came up for his discharge. Mr. Nicholls and Mr. Dowse
supported, Mr. Cooke and Mr. Hughes opposed.
This was the third appearance of the insolvent in this
Court. Qn the last occasion, in April, 1846, when his
income was 2001. per year, the Court ordered a sum of
401. per year to be set apart for the purpose of liquidat-
ing his debts. On the present occasion his debts, con-
tracted since that period, exceed 1,400/.
After some investigation, of no public interest, Mr.
Cooke applied that the suss of 196/. might be now set
Sparc for the l'quidation of these debts. Since 1846 the
Admiral had attained to higher rank, and his net income
was now 3961. per annum.
The Learned COMMISSIOICER asked the insolvent whe-
ther he was willing to accede to the proposal?
The insolvent replied that he would remain in prison
all his life first; it wcu!d be impossible for him to live.
Ile was willing to give up 251. per year.
Mr. NICHOLLS examined the insolvent, rho stated
that Mrs. Bourchier was in a state of ill health, that
required much medical aid. He was also under a lia-
bility to support his son until he should obtain a com-
mi,sion. The Learned Counsel then submitted that-the
application of the creditors was not a reasonable one.
The station in life of the admiral was such as to
require a c ,rresponding income, and the small sum of
2001. per }ear would be wholly inadequate. If it were
assented to, the consequence must be, that the Admiral
woul I again be under the necessity of coming to this
Court at the cost of other creditors. He doubted also
whether, if it were assented to, the Admiralty would
allow the order to be acted upon.
Mr. COOKE submitted that the insolvent's creditors
had higher claims upon him than his station. His
schedule eholved that he had been living a life of luxury
and extravagance at their expense. If they failed to pay
for the goods which they had trusted him with, they
would be thrown into prison, and be left with no income
of 2001: per year for their future support.
The insolvent being again appealed to by the Court,
said he had no further effer to make, but he was willing
to consent to set apart any sum that the Commissioner
considered the circumstances of the case required.
His Ho:court said that the duty thus imposed upon
him was a very unpleasant one; and after commenting
upon the circumstances, said he would leave the Court
fur five minutes, in order to give the insolvent an oppor-
tunity to consider the propriety of making a different
proposal. On his return the insolvent said ho would set
apart GU per year.
Mr. COOKE said that had the offer been double that
sum, he might have ventured to say that the creditors
would have been liberal and considerate, and have ac-
cepted it.
llis Hosona said that the most graceful thing a man
of station ur rank could at all times, and tinder all cir-
circumstances do, was to pay his debts, and, if neces-
sary practice self deLial. The opinion of the world,
whether a man maintained an appearance or not in ac-
cordance with his rerils,4ae, after all, of but little value
in comparison with that; and it it were not so, ho be--
Hew:el that a man should at all times show that be was
desirous of doing all that lay in his power to discharge
his obligations. In the absence of that offer having been
made, he should order the insolvent to be discharged, on
enterieg into an undertaking to set apart 1001. per year
in liquidation of his debts.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
• MANSION-HOUSE.

Catherine Bwmcster, who was stated to be the wife of
a respectable man, was brought before Alderman Wil-
son upon suspicion of having assisted, in robbing Thomas
Morten, a poor fellow who had just arrived in London
for the purpose of going out in an emigrant ship, of 14
sovereigns.

The complainant, it appeared, from the very confused
and complicated account given of the affair, had arrived
at London-bridge by a steamer from Yarmouth, on
Monday morning, and employed a porter, who lived with
the prisoner, to take his luggage to the London Docks.
from which the emigrant ship in which he was to sail
was to receive passengers. The luggage was accord-
ingly deposited at the appointed place, and the com-
plainant went, upon the invitation of the porter, to dine
at the prisoner's house, whi.re he was gratified with large
potations of gin and other liquors, and became so much
intoxicated, or stupified, as to be wholly incapable of
taking care of his money or himself, and after having
cabbed about with the prisoner and two men who were
known to her, he finally found himself drenched with
rain lying in the street, and stripped of every farthing.
Alderman WILSON pursued the investigation with the
most scrupulous care, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the complainant had not been drugged into the
incapability which he endeavoured to describe, but it
was quite evident that the unfortunate fellow had "gone
the whole hog" in drink, and had tried the strength of
his stomach with brandy and beer, as, well as giu. The
prisoner had been in and out of the cab with him more
than once while her friends were on the box, and at
last she left him altogether' but how or where he was
deprived of his property he could give no account
whatever.
T ticket-porter stated that he saw the complainant on
board the Yarmouth vessel upon her arrival, and asked
him ehethcr he wished to have his luggage conveyed to
any plixe; to which he replied that he should employ
any person he fancied to do that job for him, at the
same time rejecting the caution given to him as to the
necessity of selecting a responsible porter. Witness
then went away, leaving the complainant with the
porter whom he engaged to perform the work, and who
was a mere jobber about Thames-street, without a
licens.e. Many complaints were made by ignorant
strangers of the difficulties in which they were placed by
hiring men of this description to take care of their pro-
perty or of themselves.
The complainant, in answer to the inquiries of Alder-
man WiLsesT, said he had a wife and five children in
Yarmouth, for whom it was his intention to send when
he should have earned as much abroad as would pay for

their passage; and he had put together with yea Pains
and with the assistance of his friends, the 14 sovereigns
of which he had beta robbed, to clear the way, by im-
mediate emigration, for the support of his family.
The prisoner said she had endeavoured, at her house
as well as elsewhere, to prevent the complainant from
drinking, but he was not to be denied; and he nut only
finished a bottle of brandy which he had brought ashore,
but he stowed away gin without measure. She ad-
mitted that she bad got into the cab with him, but then
her object was to see him safe to the London Docks,
where he was to take ship, and finding that he was not
disposed to go there, she quitted him; after which she
knew not what became of him. It was unfortunate for
her that she had received him into her house at all; for
when she met the porter who had been employed by
him she was treated with a sound drubbing for having
left him, and the consequence was that the man who
threshed her was taken into custody by a policeman,
conveyed before a magistrate at the other side of the
water, and sentenced to imprisonment in Horsemonger-
lano Gaol, although she expressed her unwillingness to
bring any charge.
Alderman WILSON asked the complainant whether
he had been in London before? and, having learned that
he was by no means a stranger to the great metropolis
or the tricks practised in it, told him that the party
principally to blame was himself, who had intrusted his
goods to a person upon whom he knew there was no
check, and had indulged in drink at the very time there
was most need for the exercise of abstemiousness. It was
to he regretted that the power of resorting to the chances
thus which emigration held out was defeated ; but all
that a magistrate could do in such a case was to advise
the unfortunate man to return to Yarmouth, and work
until he should raise 141. more; and then try his fortune
abroad, benefited by the lesson derived from his present
calamity.
The Complainant—l have not one farthing in the
world.
Alderman Wl:um—You shall have the means of re-
deeming ycur goods from the decks and returning home;
and I hope this will operate as a warning to other emi-
grants to take care what unlicensed porters they employ.
The prisoner was then discharged.
MARLBOROUGLI-ST.REET.
John Tildthy, a groom, was brought before Mr,
wi having
Hardwick, charged by Count Batthyany thud other

Count Batthyany state d,that the prisoner had been his
