ITALY.

The King of SARDINIA is labouring under an
attack of acute rheumatism.

The Rivista Indipendente of Florence, of the 16th,
contains a letter from Rome of the 15th, stating that
up to that day the situation had not changed;
that the French were four miles off, the Neapoli-
tans twelve, the Spaniards at Fiumicino; and
that an attack from all sides was expected to
take place on the following day. The Goncili-
atore of the 17th, however, states that' 20,000
French are at Castel di Guido, 15,000 Neapolitans
at Albano; that the latter have not advanced, in
consequence of steps taken by General OuDiNor to
induce them to halt ; end that an attack was to have
taken place on the l sth, but did not, on account of
the arrival on the 14th of M. FERDINAND LESSEES,
sent by the French Government to offer the city an
ultimatum. The Neapolitans, it is said, have invaded
the provinces on the Adriatic. Advices from Leghorn
state that arms have been voluntarily surrendered
there in great quantities. Many of the inhabitants
had emigrated.
The Piedmontese Gazette announces the nomina-
tion of General LA MARMORA as member of the
Cabinet of Turin.

Letters from Leghorn, received at Genoa on the
19th, state that GUERRAZZI, PETRACCHT, and Com-
BELLI, who were retained prisoners at Florence, had
been transferred to Leghorn, and would be shot like
the rest. Marshal D'ASPRE intends demanding a war
contribution of 500.000 florins.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court, after hearing a tew unimportant motions,
proceeded with the Peremptory Paper, but no case of
sufficient importance to justify a report was heard during
the morning.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco before Lord Chief Justice WILDE,
and Justices COLTAIAN, MAULE, and CRESSWELL.)
STANSFIELD AND ANOTHER (ASSIGNEES) V. LEMN.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS, Q.C., said, in this action, which was
tried at Guildhall before the Lord Chief Justice, and a
verdict found for the plaintiff he had to move for a rule
to show cause why there should not be a new trial on the
ground of misdirection, that the verdict was against evi-
dence, and that there was no sufficient evidence to sus-
tain it. The action was brought by the assignees ut a
bankrupt named Thomas against Lemn the defendanr,
to recover some trade-books. It was an action of trover,
and it appeared that anterior to January, 1848, a Mrs.
Mai ks and Thomas had carried on business as tailors,
in Princes-street, Hanover square. The partnership
was dissolved about October or November, 1847. It
appeared that Thomas was afterwards in difficulties, and
was desirous of making a composition with his creditors;
he also desired that a new partneship should be estab-
lished, and the defendant, one of his creditors, who was
a tailor, was introduced to Thomas, and Thomas and
Lemn considered it would be advisable that a
partnership between them should be established, and
a composition offered to the creditors of 10s. in
the pound. On the 11th of March an assignment
was executed for the benefit of the creditors, for the mere
purpose of protecting the property- against executions;
and on the 10th of May another assignment was exe-
eoufztanaredldlns,hhto LiispeLemn of the same property; and the question
was whether, at the time of the second assignment to
Lemn, Lemn
personalathd e

trial
i matterpr that previous oo uf s
the
law, one ?was His
assignmentan
act of bankruptcy, but it would not affect the defendant
unless he had notice of the execution of that deed. His
Lordship also said there was no evidence that the de-
fendant ever saw the deed. He (Mr. Chambers) con-
tended that in itself the making of an assignment of all
his property by a trader for the benefit of his creditors
was not under the 3d section of 6 Geo. IV., c. 16, an
act of bankruptcy; or at all events it was not a clear act
of bankruptcy.
The argument was proceeding.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
There was only one cause tried, " Whitmore and an-
other v. Dockerell," for :goods sold. The plaintiffs are
fancy stationers in Finsbury, and den;ndant is also a
stationer, at Bainsbury. The defendant denied having
ordered the goofs, but the evidence was conclusive, anal
a verdict was given for plaintiff.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(rills DAY.)
(Before tho ASSISTANT JUDGE.)
The Court sat to•day for the hearing ut appeals in the
Justices'-room, Guildhall, Westminster. There are
upon the list no less than seventeen appeals of parish
against parish, respecting the settlement of paupers.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE -FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English VVhcat frt. our market, dur-
ing the present week, though somewhat on the increase,
have been very moderate for the time of year. The
show of samples of that grain here to-day was small;
yet, owing to the thin attendance of buyers, and the
prevailing fine weather for the growing crops, the de-
mand for all descriptions was in a very sluggish state,
at barely Monday's quotations, and at which'a clearance
was not effected. Tne imports of Foreign Wheat have
not exceeded 7,650 quarters. We had only a moderate
quantity on offer this morning. Selected samples of both
red and w hoe moved off slowly at fully late rates. The va-
lue of the middling and inferior qualities was almost nomi-
nal. No English Barley at market; but the'supply of foreign
was good. There was a fair retail trade for grinding
sample, at full prices. Malting and distilling sorts were
neglected. We have no change to notice in the value of
Malt, all kinds of which ruled heavy. The Oat trade
was in a very depressed state, at barely Monday's cur.
rencies. Beans, Peas, Indian Cjrn, and Flour, without
alteration.

The supply of Beasts in to-day's market being com-
paratively small, and the attendance of buyers on the
increase, the Beef trade ruled steady, at prices about
equal to those obtained on Monday last, the best Scots
producing from 3s 6d to 3s 8d per Bibs, and at which a
fair clearance was effected. With Sheep we were scan-
tily supplied; all breeds commanded a firm inquiry, at
an advance in the quotations of quite 2d per Blbs, the
primest old Downs selling without difficulty at 4s per
81bs. Although the number of Lambs was seasonably
extensive, the sale for that description of stock was
somewhat active, at a rise of 2d per 81bs. The arrival
from the Isle of Wight amounted to 300 head. Calves
were in full average supply and steady inquiry, at 21/41
per Bibs more money. The Purk trade was dull, at un-
altered currencies. Milch Cows were quoted at from
131 to 171 each, including their small calf.
