There are several ship arrivals from different quar-
ters, but the dates they bring are not later. The ves-
sels are mostly from the East, including the Cape of Good
Hope, the Mauritius, &c.
It is stated in advices from Java that the quantity of
Coffee deliver, d or to be delivered before the close of
last year was 832,084 piculs, and of Sugar 999,190 piculs.
This comprises the Government products otil‘. The
private estates produced in the year 1848, 109,267 piculs
of Coffee, and 365,344 piculs of Sugar.
The Continental mails bring news of general
political interest. We may mention, however, that
the accounts from Poland again notice very ac
tive movements among the Russian troops, and an
increase of strength which can hardly be said to
be justified by the ravages of cholera last year in the
ranks of the army. It is assumed that Russia will
assist Austria, and the intervention of France in favour
of the Pope, and no doubt with the tacit approbation of
Beglaud, may, as sole of our City people inter, encou-
rage the Autocrat to meddle elsewhere. Still, if he lends
aid against Hungary, assists Denmark, and beards
Turkey, he need have the power as well as the audacity
of Napoleon in the height of his career.
From Holland we are advised that the most friendly
relations subsisted between the new Sovereign and King
Leopold, the grand order of the Dutch Lion having been
transmitted to the latter in a very complimentary
manner. At Amsterdam, on the 15th instant, the Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 49 15-16. The only
Foreign St curities in which there was any animation was
Spanish. The Aietwerp market was quiet yesterday.
Belgian Five per Cents. were nominally 90i. Spanish
Three were 231, but it must be remembered that they
are quoted ex-dividend.
At Frankfort, on the 14th inst., Austria Five per
Cents. were quoted 76k. At Berlin, on the 13th,
Russian Stock was 1064, and at Vienna, on the 11th,
the Metallics were 884.

We are hourly expecting the steamer with late news
from America, and it is supposed there will be advices
of interest from California. A;steamer left Liverpool yes-
terday for San Francisco, with a good freight and over
seventy passengers.
The Public Sales advertised for the present week in
the praglace markets are of some extent, but although
the consumption of all the leading staples is good,
buyers are exceedingly cautious, and there is not the
least indication of speculative dealing. So far the
abundance of money is without any effect, and perhaps
there is not much to regret in the circumstance, as all
classes get supplied cheaply with the necessaries of life,
and business is conducted on a sounder basis.
The various reports concerning Russia, the state of
the Danish question, the intervention of France in Italy,
and the other foreign incidents, although differently in-
terpreted, favourable or otherwise, according to the
prejudices or interests of the parties concerned, have
enabled the 'tears to get down Consols which
after being 921 and 921 are now 911 to

intervention for the Pope, and this caused our

Q'. , .

114ILWAY COMPANT 4 LLNE).
Toe arguments in this case, vt loch wt re commenced
yesterday, were resumed nod concluded to-day.
The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from
the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce, dismissing a petition presented by a shareholder
in the railway company for the winding up and dissolu
tioa of the company, under the provisions ot the Winding-
up Act, 11 and 18 Vic., c. 45.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the ar-
guments, asked for the affidavits, and said that he would
give judgment to-morrow. He would also give judgment
at the same time in the case that was heard yt sterday,
Ex pal to Spackman in re the Agricultural :attle In-
surance Company," in which the same question was
involved.

TEMPEST V. THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This case came before his Lordship upon appeal
from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England,
overruling a demurrer put in by the defendants
to the plaintiff's bill, and granting an injunction.
The bill was filed by Sir Charles IL Tempest against the
company for the specific performance of an agreement to
purchase a plot of land, of the extent of one acre, three
roods, and sixteen perch( s, at the rate of 250/. per acre.
The bill also prayed for an injunction to restrain the
company from continuing in possession of the land
without payment of the purchase-money. The facts
may be thus shortly stated :—ln the latter part of 1847
the company took certain portions of land belonging to
the plaintiff, for the purpose of giving greater breadth to
the line of the railway, and for which the price agreed
on was 2501. per acre. A negotiation subsequently en-
sued between the plaintiff and the company as to the
purchase, in the course of which the plaintiff refused to
sell the company any land for the purpose of getting stone
and soil out of it. On the Bth of November, 1848, the
company gave the usual no:ice under the Act,
.and took
possession of the land. Further correspondence then took
pllce between plaintiff and Mr. Birkbeck, acting for the
company, when Mr. Birkbe ek agreed to pay the valuation,
" as soon as Mr. Bradley's (the plaintiff's surveyor) va-
luation should be confirmed by Mr. Watson," the engi-
neer of the company. No agreement was, however,
drawn up; but a difference having subsequently arisen
between the parties, the plaintiff tiled this bill for specific
performance, and an injunction, on the grouni that there
was an agreement by the company, on the face of the
correspondence, to take the laud at the same rate of 2501.
an acre, and that the company had no right to enter on
the land before payment of the purchase money: Ob•
jections were taken by the plaintiff to the form of the
notice delivered by the company, on the ground that the
notice was in the form given by the 32d section of the
Act for taking land for temporary purposes, but there was
nothing in the case to show that the land was not in-
tended to be taken finally. On the case coming on
before the Vice-Chancellor of England, his Honour
overruled the demurrer put in by the defendants to the
plaintiff's bill, and granted an injunction restraining the
company from continuing in possession of the land with-
out the purchase money was paid. From this decision the
defendants appealed, and that appeal now came on for
argument.

The case occupied his Lordship the remainder of the
morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
Petitions of no general interest occupied his Lordship

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND )
His Honour having disposed of all the cause petitions
in his paper, none of which possessed any points of in-
terest except to the parties concerned, rose shortly after
eleven o'clock.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
HIS HONOUR sat for the first time to-day since the
Easter recess, and heard motions, but no case cubing
i'or a special report came before him during the morning.
(Before the Vice Chancellor WIQRAM.)
LEE V. ELMSLIE.—JUDGMENT.
His HONOUR gave judgment to-day in this case, which
was argued bofore him a short time since. The object
of the suit was to set aside a partnership, which had
been entered into between the defendant, who is an
architect, and the plaintiff, and also to obtain from the de •
Pendant the sum of 8001., which had been advanced by the
father of the plaintiff as his part of the money to carry
on the partnership. The equity of the plaintiff's case
was, that he had been misled by the defendant as to the
value and extent of the business. The defendant's case
was, that there had been no misrepresentation, and that
the plaintiff had had full opportunity of judging for
himself of the business into which he sought to be ad-
mitted as a partner. His Honour, after shortly advert..
ing to the facts of the case, directed the plaintiff's bill to
be retained for a twelvemonth, in order to give the
plaintiff an opportunity of bringing such action against
the defendant as ho might be advised.

LOCRE V. ASHTON—PALSE IMPRISONMENT.
This was an action to recover compensation in
damages for false imprisonment, and had been tried
twice, the second trial being had on the ground of mis-
direction.
The plaintiff is a carter, and the defendant a corn-
dealer. He employed the plaintiff to bring him nine
quarters of oats from Messrs. Rosslyn and Watson's, of
Blacktriars, for which he gave him twenty sacks. Ho
only brought back seventeen sacks and an empty
one, saying that it was not filled because there was
a hole in it. He should have brought back, it appeared,
eighteen sacks, and having brought an acknowledgment
with the sacks that he had received 18, and as, on in-
quiry, the foreman of Messrs. Rosslyn sad Watson was
positive he had given him 18 full sacks, and as the
plaintiff said he could not account for the missing one,
and supposed he had only received 17, he was given into
custody, and remanded on the charge; but before he was
brought up a second time, he admitted that he had left
one of the sacks in pawn for the City toll. Of course he
was discharged, the truth of this having been ascertained.
The jury gave him a verdict for 1004 The case was
tried at the last sittings after term.
Mr. WH/TEHURST now moved for a rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial
had, on the ground that the damages were excessive.
He submitted that such a verdict, under the circum-
stances he had detailed, was monstrous. He was only a
casual servant, and was only given into custody when
great suspicion attached to him, in consequence of deny.
ink that he had received more than 17 sacks.
Mr. Justice PATTESON said there were some peculiar
circumstances in the case. The damages appeared large.
The Learned Counsel might take a rule, and perhaps
some arrangement might be come to between the con-
tending parties in the meantime.—Rule granted.
No Bususess.—The Court had to wait some time this
morning, before any learned gentleman prepared to
bring any matter before it. Several causes were called
on for argument, but it appeared that either the counsel
on one side were absent or not in attendance at all, and
not one of the many counsel present held a brief. Mr.
Townsend was pressed to proceed with a cause which
stood as the next, but he said he could not, as Mr.
Welsby, who was on the other side, was absent. A lengthy
pause ensued, during which the Court seemed disposed
to wait for some learned gentleman who held a brief, dur-
ing which Mr. Townsend withdrew. Mr. Justice Pat
teson, on getting impatient, and his equable temperament
getting slightly ruffled, directed the usher to intimate
to Mr. Townsend that he must proceed with his case. It
was found that he was then engaged in a case in the Ex-
chequer. These events, bearing in mind the arrears of
business and the anxiety of the Court to proceed with
something, caused mueh laughter. At length Mr.
Whitehurst relieved their Lordships by the above pro-
ceeding.

HULL.
A public meeting was held in the Court House yestt
day, to consider the propriety of petitioning the House
Lords against the Act which is being passed through th e
House of Commons, entitled an "Act to Amend the bla •
vigations."
The MAYOR, John L. Smith, Esq., was moved to tti e
chair, who, atter the requisition calling the meeting hal
b 1 en read, expressed his opposition to the measure and t o
free-trade principles generally.
Mr. HessELL, taking a portion of the Mayor's speecji
as his text, temperately reiterated the old arguments use; d
on such occasions, and terminated his harangue by mov -
ing a resolutio❑ deprecatory of the measure.
This aas seconded by Mr. WARD in a firm, straight;
forward, Tory manner.
Upon this resolutio❑ an amendment was moved by Mr .
HOLDSWORTH, in a good truth-telling speech.
Mr. Alderman JONES, ex-Mayor, seconded the amend-
ment, and took occasion, as well as the previous speaker,
to animadvert upon the unusual course adopted by this
mayor in enunciating his opinions from the chair, on t
subject the meeting had to consider, which he presided
over.

Mr. CLARLE, a lecturer on Shakspere, and whosif
zeal for exhibition had long shown itself prominent by
a restless inquietude of seat, and a demand for a jug ofi
water, rose from a chair generally occupied by some of
the dignitaries of the town, and with vehement gesticu.
lations, an attempt at oratory and statistical information,
inflicted a long speech on the meeting in support of thti
original motion,
Mr. MATTHEW TATE, shoemaker, also supported it
in a somewhat heavy speech, as did also Mr. DAVID
GOODWILL, jun.
Mr. FRENCH, shipowner, spoke against the measure.
His opinion being that taxation should be first reduced,
and the British shipbuilder placed on an equitable
footing.
A sailor, whose name was not mentiolaed, denounced
the measure strongly,
on she ground of its interfering
with the British seaman's labour; but, at the same time,
paying a poor compliment to the shipowners.
Mr. John Foster, Belgium Consul; Mr. John Richard-
son, dentist; Mr. William Irving, liax-drQsser; and Mr.
Scholey, tailor, spoke in approval of the amendment.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)

and Justices COLTMAN, CRESSWELL, and WILLIAMS.)
SMITH AND ANOTHER v. TROUIL.
Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS, Q.C., said, in this Case
he had to show cause against a rule obtained by Mr.
Bramwell, calling on the defendant to show cause why
he should retain the several sums of 83i 17s. and
421. Ifs., ordered by him to be paid to the plaintiff',
I under an award made pursuant to a rule of Court. It
' appeared that this was a cause that was submitted to
arbitration under a Judge's order, which was
afterwards made a rule of Court ; and that
the arbitrator afterwards proceeded to make
his award, and ho awarded that Mr. Trouk, the
defendant, should pay the plaintiffs 831. 175.; and, sub-
sequently, on the taxation of the costs, the sum of
421. I ls. was taxed as the costs. In substance, the de-
fendant objected to the awar,l altogether, because the
defeedant stated that he had never given any authority
at all to his then attorney to submit the cause to arbi-
tration, and that all the prom edinga took place sfiithout
his knowledge and acquiescence.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said there were two points
which the defendant's counsel had to deal with—first,
whether they could question the authority of their at-
torney in this mention to refer, and whether they must
not necessarily refer to their remedy against their at-
torney i and, secondly, supposing it was open to that ob-
jection to the defendant in the general, was it open to
him in the present, application? lie (the Lord Chief

ATTEMPT TO M TAME R.—Eliza Wagliorne, spinster,
aged 25, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wound-
ing Charles Gibson, with intent to murder him.
Mr. Robinson prosecuted; the prisoner was wide-

27th of February the prosecutor went to his house in a
coon in Whitechapel in a state of intoxication, and it
unfortunately happened that he arrived just at the mo-
ment that the prisoner was pursuing a young woman
named Morris, with whom she had been quar-
relling, and mistaking him in the dark for Morris,
she drew a knife acros his throat and in-
flicted a severe wound upon it. He fell to the
ground bleeding, and while he lay there a wash-hand
basin was thrown upon him from one of the houses in
the court, but when taken to the hospital, and restored
to consciousness, being drunk at the time, he could not
tell whether the wounds upon his person were inflicted
with a knife or by the basin falling on him. A woman,
however, who was in the yard during toe whole occur-
rence, witnessed the offence, and upon her information
the prisoner was taken into custody.
The prisoner, in her defence, denied all knowledge of
the matter, further than that a woman had told her that
a girl, known by the name of Dark Sall, was the guilty
party who cut the prosecutor's throat.
The RECORDER briefly summed up, remarking that
as the parties on the night of the offence were all drunk
together, the evidence would hardly justify a verdict of
an attempt to,naurdnr, or of cutting and wounding with
intent to do some grievous bodily harm; but the law pro-
vides for cases like this by empowering the jury, if they
so thought fit, to find the prisoner guilty of an aggra-
vated assault, and he would suggest to the jury that they
should pursue that course on this occasion.
The jury returned a verdict accordingly, and
The RECORDER sentenced her to two years' imprison
men t.

MANSLAUGHTER.—EIiza Mitchell, aged 21, spinster,
was indicted for the manslaughter of Hannah Maioey,
her own bastard child, by exposing it to the cold and de•
serting it in the streets.

Under the advice of Counsel the prisoner pleatied
Guilty, and

The RECORDER, in an impressive manner, sentenced
her to two p2ars' imprisonment, with hard labour.

BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
THE ROBBERY OF COINS AT THE BRITISH 2!113-
BEUM, &C.-7 imoleon Vlasto, who stands accused , of
these extensive robberies from the Museum, and from
the collections of several persons of distinction, !vas
placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, on remaid from
Thursday last. Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecutit ni;
Mr. Clarkson attended for the defendant. On the be' Bch
were General Fox, Sir Henry Ellis, the Earl of En-
niskillen, &c.

Mr. Doubleday, one of the curators of the antiquit;ies,
swore positively to two coins, now produced, as having
been stolen from the collection in the museum under ;his
care. He could not be mistaken about them, for he Iliad
taken, previously to the theft, a cast from each of them
in a sulphur mould, which was of the most perfect kind
that could be made, and gave the minutest flaw and pt feu-
liarity of the original with great exactness. He could swear
without any doubt whatever to the identity of those 11 wo
coins, upon that ground. He had taken no cast sii ice
the robbery. The coins had been in the possession; of
the police since the arrest of the prisoner. The two. of
which Mr. Doubleday deposed, had been found by
Mr. Inspector Field of the A division of pollee,
concealed in a secret drawer, which was sit nk
neatly in the bottom of the prisoner's writing
desk. `The inspector, in the course of his
evidenoe, now produced in addition seventy-4 ine
valuable coins, which he also found at the prisons r's
lodgings, No. 15, St. James's-square.—General I ox
identified the greater part of these as having been stolen
from his cabinet, to which the prisoner had access. Of
the remainder he could not be so positive, although, as
they were all rare and valuable, and similar at least; to
those which were missing from his collection with the
other more certainly identified ones, he could hi .ve
no doubt they were the same. The value of
these coins as old metal might not be obi 'ye
ten pounds in the whole. But their va;lue
as antiquities was not so easily determined. There
was none of them that was not worth at least three or
four pounds, and he had paid at a greater rate for m. oat
of them. The Gallant General took occasion farther to
say, that he had been informed by persons of the high est
respectability, that not only was the prisoner's fans ily
highly connected, but his own conduct had been ir re-
proachable up to the circumstances from which these
charges arose, and which were quite at variance with :his
previous life and character.
Mr. JArtDINE said that such testimony might be• of
some service to the prisoner elsewhere, but could s lot
avail him at present. He was remanded for anotk ter
week.
The prisoner's father, the late Count Vlasto, was cc .n.
nected with the Turkish diplomatic corps, about twentty-
three years ago.
