LEVY V. RAPHAEL.

The plaintiff in this action is the well-known Sheriffs'
officer and wine merchant, and sought to recover the
sum of 13/. 193., the balance of an account for wine
supplied.
It was shown in evidence that defendant opened a
club in Bury-street, Bevis Marksj end plaintiff; supplied
the wines and presided at the opening dinner. The de-
livery of the goods was proved, but for the defence it
was shown that part of the wine, bottles, Sze., had been
returned, and that defendant was indebted in 61 6s. for
dinner tickets. It was admitted by plaintiff's son that
some champagne was charged in error at 945. per dozen
instead of 845., and there were other discrepancies in the
accounts.

The SECONDARY said the plaintiff's mode of keeping
accounts seemed to be very irregular, and to a certain
extent overcharges were made out; it was, however, for
the jury to say whether the defendant had made out his
set off, which was greater than the claim.
The jury found for the plaintiff.

CRIMINAL. COURT-(THIS DAY.)

NE TV COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
TICE PLEASURES AND PASIDIES 07 ♦ JURY.—One of
the jury in waiting complained that during the last
three days he had been in attendance from nine till five
without being called upon to serve on the jury, and ap-
pealed to the Court to allow the jury in waiting to go
about their business.

The RECORDER regretted he could not consent to the
proposAl, as it might shortly happen that the jury in the
box might have occasion to retire and delih,rate upon
their verdict, end then the jury in waiting might be
called upon to act.
T i
The juror remarked that it was quite tedious to be
sitting n the court doing nothing.
The RECORDER raid that could easily be remedied. If
the jury in waiting were anxious to serve, he could ac-
commodate them with a trial after one o'clock.—
(Laughter)
The Juror was not anxious for that kind of activity.
What he wished to suggest was, that as the jury was
generally composed of men engagr d in business, who
found it very irksome to have their minds and bodies in
a continual state of inactivity, a room should be
pro-
vided fur them where ily-y could while away the time in
rt!2:!i;ig nlor::!•g: :31):y
uttiu,ttilleut which LLI». c:..i.g,li;tti to ti:e eLste
and inclination of individua: jurors.—(Roars of laughter.)
The RECORDER could not for a moment entertain the
suggestion, and its the juror had entertained the Court

long cnough with his little episode, he must request him
to sit down. The juries attending the court fur the last
twenty years had suffered the same inconvenience as that
now complained of.
The juror took the hint, and resumed his seat ac-
cordingly.
Mr. Hemp, the effictar to the Sheriff, fancying, no
doubt, that if the juror were allowed to remain with his
ft bows he would inoculate them with his extravagant
notions of the rights and privileges of an Old 13ailey jury,
took him out of the court, and freed him from attend-
ance on his own responsibility.

MARLBito'-SkitE_LT—(ll-IIS DAY.)
James Green was brought before Mr. Hardwick.
charged with having broken into a sho,.maker's "bulk,"
occupied by a person named lioLert Davis, '2l, Great
Titenfield street, and stealing several pairs of boots and
a quantity of leather.
The prosecutor stated that this morning, about two
o'c!celi, he was in bed, when he was knocked up by the
police, who informed him that his bulk had been broken
open. On going to the place he found the door burst
open aid the interior of the bulk cleared of its contents,
consisting of boots, boot legs, and a quantity of leather,
worth about 71. The articles produced are his property,
and were safe in the bulk when he left work last night.

Morgan, 40 E, said about a quarter to two this morn-
ing h:7- saw the prisoner coining out of the prosecutor's
bulk" with a bundle under his arm. Ile went towards
him, when ho r.4n away. Witness followed him into
Nassau street, where he sprang his rattle. The
prisoner then threw down the bundle, and was just
turning round thecorner when he was stopped by another
constable, and conveyed to the station. At the latter
place the prisoner admitted breaking into the hulk, but
that he had thrown the implements array that he done
the job with. Witness then searched him, and found a
crowbar, a peculiar shaped hammer, a chisel, a pick-
lock, a box of lucifers, and a wax-taper, concealed in
his cast pocket.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry for
what he had done. It was solely through distress, as he
had been cut of employ for five weeks.
Mr. I.lAnnwicK committed him for trial.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for expert and on
speculation. In Railway shares little business was
done, and prices were a shade lower.
The trade in Mark-lane has again been dull, and
prices are lower for Wheat,with a fair supply of foreige.
There are no ship arrivals from distant parts with late
intelligerce 01 any interest.
The Hamburg!) mail brings advices of Tuesday. Bills
on London were still in rt quest. The Mercantile Mar-
kets were dull, and the blockade was sufficiently strict to
prevent anything like a wholesome and safe course of
mercantile dealing. Certain concessions were made
at Dantzic by the Danish cruisers in allowing ex-
tended time for vessels to leave the port, and it
is not surprising that the Hull merchants should have
represented the matter to Lord Palmerston. If the
blockade is to exist, as we have before taken occasion to
observe, it must exist as an effective and not an excep-
tional one. At Dantzic, English vessels which had been
under repair, and were loading when the blocka!e re-
commence), had received permission of free exit until
the 10th inst., and the charterers of the Dutch ships,
many of which had lost their freight by the
great fire that has occurred, were seeking an
extension of time until the 18th. Even twais was
likely to be granted, however, for it is manifest that
Denmark, seeing that it will be impossible to succeed
eventually against Germany, is desirous of conciliating
all parties.
At Frankfort, on the Bth inst., the Five per Cent.
At:striae Stock was 74*, and at Vienna on the sth the
Alelallies were 89?-.
The Produce Markets have been tolerably brisk this
week. There has nut been an increase of export
orders for the continent, but tha home consumption
is good, and for Sugar especially there is a fair inquiry
at fu4r quotations. The Indigo auctions are yruceed-
ing satisfactoiily, and at the public sales of Colonial
Wool, comprising about 20,000 bales, the prices thus far
seem to have been satisfactory. We must wait, how-
ever, until the better qualities aro offered.
The Funds arc rather better to-day, the French Stocks
having improved yesterday. There is, however, appa-
rently, but little confidence in the existing state of
foreign polities. Consols have been 91 to 91-41 for
Transfer, and 91k to for Account, though the news
from the Rhenish provinces of Russia makes them now a
little weaker. Exchequer Bills are 465. to 493. premium.
Bank Stock is 1921 to 194. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have beets 90i to 4.
The Foreign Securities have nut fluctuated much,
neither are they in great request. Spanish Three per
Cents, are 33, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 28*.
Mexican are 31 to Russian Bonds have been 1031-
to 105. There is a report that Lord Palmerston has
objected to Russian interference in Hungary. Dutch
Tuo•and a•Ilalf per Cents. are 49* to 50.
In Railway Shares there is not much doing, and
prices are in many instances firmer. As soon as the
position of the lines is ascertained we shall probably
have a decided rally, for the " Bears" have operated ex-
tensively and indiscriminately in numerous instances.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY )

CORN E 3 LCHAN GE-FRIDAY.

There was a sill ;ht increase in the arrivals of English
Wheat fresh up fe r this morning's market; yet the show
of samples of bet h Red and White was small. As the
attendance of both town and country buyers was limited,
and the imports eom abroad (Ntensive, the demand for
all kinds of Whc a t of home produce was in a very in-
active state, and., where sales took place, the factors
were compelled t( accept Is per quarter less money than
on Monday. The importations tr. Foreign Wheat have
exceeded 17,000 quarters. Selected samples were
mostly held at f oil currencies; but the middling
and inferior !K:nds were is per quarter lower.
Scarcely any Etti;Lish Barley was on offer, but the supply
e,f foreign was r,nl erably extensive. The Barley trade
ruled he avy at be-rely stationary prices. Iu Malt, the
:u1 ply of which vr.ts small, next t ) nothing doing at al-
most nominal cu rr encies. The Oat trade was d pressed,
and the quotatio as gave way 6d per qu,rter. Beaus, Peas p
and Indian Corn ,were quite as dear as on Monday. All
kinds of Flour we re lower to purchase.

Our market tai mauling was very moderately sup-

lity was good. As the dead markets were well cleared
of their supplies; tNo attendance of buyers rather nume-

of 2d per Slbs. The best Scots sold at 3s 101 per Blbs.
The supply of Sbi,ep was very limited, while the demand
for that descripiim I of stock was brisk, et an improve-
ment in value of 4t I per Sibs, the brst old Downs, out of
