PRICE OF SUGAR.

AND MSS.

The r.7erage price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, conl.
puted from the returns made in the week ending llccemb,er
is', 1819, is 255. sd. per cwt.

Lsst week, on Thursday and following days, the
well-known Winston collection of dramatic MSS.
was brought to the hammer by Messrs. Puttick
and Sampson, of Piccadilly. The sale excited
much interest in the dramatic world, and there was
considerable anxiety to examine, and in some cases
to repurchase, letters long since forgotten by the
writers, whose altered circumstances and position at
the present day contrasted in many cases very re-
markably with those under which these letters were
penned. Rarely ever has there ben amassed such an
amount of material for petty scandal as in the memo-
randa and letters composing this collection, and
which we are gratified to know in many cases re-
turned to the possession of the individuals to whom
they related, doubtless for immediate destruction.
We cannot help thinking it is an obvious abuse of
confidence to preserve, index, amplify, and leave,
even to the chance of impertinent curiosity in
a public :ale-room, letters written in an unguarded
moment, or on matters never inttnded to be
brought to the notice of a third party, revealing p3rti
culars the publicity of which can effect no good ob-
ject, but may create much ill-natured remark and
private heart-burning. The collection now referred
to affords ample occasion for these remarks. Did we
suspect that every hasty letter we pen may one day
form an item in an auctioneer's catalogue, there is at
once an end to freedom in. epistolatory intercourse.
With regard to the muniments, so to speak, of the
great patent theatres, also forming part of the collet
tion, there must have been great carelessness exer-
cised in their custody, else we cannot understand how
they have been separated from the archives of the
theatres. The collection, on the whole, brought goal
prices. We may mention a collection of letters,lee.,
of Edmund Kean, lot 451, which sold for 8/. 15s. ;
lot 477, Vice-Chamberlain Coke's papers relative to
the King's Theatre, 1706-15, which sold for 12/. 10s. ;
lot 672, the original MSS. of the Rejected Ad-
dresses proposed to be spoken at the opening of D rury•
lane Theatre in 1812, 91. A collection of engraved
dramatic portraits closed the sale, and appeared to
produce high prices.
On Monday the same auctioneers sold Mr.
Mitchell's small but interesting collection of autograph
letters. From the catalogue we extract the fallowing
as amongst the most interesting lots, with the prices
at which they sold :—Lot 14, letter of Lord Brougham
on Parliamentary Reform, sold for 1/. Lot 21, letter
of Cinq Mars, sold for 11. ss. Lot 53, a short note
of Haydn, sold for il. 9s. Lot 75, a letter of Moses
Mendelssohn, sold for il. 10s. Lot 89, a letter of
Smollet, the historian, sold for 31. 17s. 6d. Lot 105,
a letter of Voltaire, sold for 1/. 16s. Several letters
of Lady Hamilton, and a curious document, being a
a bill for her funeral expenses, amounting to 281. 10s.,
sold together fur 81. 4s. Lot 140, a letter of Mrs.
Jordan, sold for 1/. 13s. The sale concluded with
fifty letters of David Garrick, which were sold singly,
and for the most part were bought by Mr. Colburn,
the publisher. In one of these letters, written on the
night of his first appearance in London, he says—
"My mind has always been inclined to the stage.
• • . . . Last night I played Richard the Third
to the surprise of everybody, and as I shall make very
near 3001. per annum of it, and as it is really what I
doat upon, 1 am resolved to pursue it." This interesting
series of letters sold at high prices, amounting in the
whole to about 1101.

LAW *INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUE.EIV'S BEIVCII, Dec. 22

(Sittings at Nisi Priu3 at Guildhall, before
Justice EnLs and a Special Jury.)
HAYWARD V. COOMB4 AND ANOTHER.
This cause, which commenced on Thursday, con-

Mr.

tin ued on Friday, and was terminated at a late hour
hour on Saturday evening. The main question at
issue, it will be recollected, was whether the late Mr:
Saville Godfrey, formerly of the firm of Godfrey,
Searle, and Co., boatbuilders, was of sound !mind from
the llth of January, 1843, to the 25th of April in
the • same year, when he executed certain deeds, the
cause of dispute in these proceedings. The following
brief summary will give a complete idea of the case.
It appeared that the plaintiff by marrieV was re-
lated to the deceased, who retired from business in the
year 1825 having made a considerable fortune. He
was a bachelor, and the father of the pla'mtiff was his
nearest relative. One of the defendants, Amy Sarah
Coombs, was the sister of the plaintiff's father. In
18'27 Mr. Godfrey went to reside in the family of
Coombs, and he was extremely partial to Mrs. Coombs.
Mr. Godfrey made his will on the 18th of February,
1842, and by that will he bequeathed hie furniture to
Amy Sarah Coombs, but he left the rest of his property
to three trustees, who were directed to pay the rents
of two-thirds of the property to Amy Sarah Coombs
for life, and to her husbmd if he survived her, with
remainder to the children of that marriage. The
testator directed the other third of the rents to be
pail to the plaintiff for life, and to his wife, if she
survived him, with remainder to the children of the
marriage. In default of issue of both marriages, the
property was devised to the heirs of the testator.
En the year 1845 a writ de lunatico inquirenlo was
issued against him, and the jury found that he had
been of unsound mind from the '29th of April in
that year. On the 28th of May, 1849, the
testator died, at 74 years of age, and it
then appeared that the deceased had not revoked
his will, but that on the 15th of April, 1843, he had
executed four leases of property, producing 3201. a
year; and it was alleged that he had, on the sth of
May, 1843, invested 1,0001 stock in the joint names
of the defendants. It was now contended that, at the
time Mr. Godfrey had done these acts, he was not in
such a state of mind as to make them valid—that his
manners had changed in the early part of 1842—that
his mind was then affected by delusions of the most
extraordinary kind, and that he continued in that state
until his death ; that he was quite unable, in the year
1843, to manage his own affairs, and that he was
induced to execute the several instruments now at-
tempted to be set aside, by the influence which the
defendants exercised over him.
Mr. COCKBURN, Q.C., for the defence, addresed the
jury, and said he would prove, by indisputable testi-
mony, that the deceased, Mr. Godfrey, was of sound
and disposable mind, capable of managing his own
affairs, within the period of the issue, which the jury
had now to try, namely, from the 11th of January,
1843, to the 25th of April, in the same year, and that
no undue influence had been exercised over him, by
the defendants, to induce him to execute and sign the
deeds in question. He would show that at the time he
executed the will (which was not disputed), 1842,
and prior to that period he had had conversations re-
specting the disposition of stock, and those deeds under
which it was transferred, and that in executing them
in 1843, he but carried out that intention. They had
it in evidence that he was subject to fancies before
the year 1842, at least before the da'e of his will
in that year; yet that he, was of sound mind when
he made his will, was not disputed. Seeing that per-
sons who were afflicted as Mr. Godfrey was, with a
softening of the brain were, according to the medical
testimony, favoured occasionally with lucid intervals,
and of sound and disposable mind, was it not, he
(Mr. Cockburn) would ask, as likely that he was so
at the time in question, in 1843, and that he then
knew what he was doing, as in 1842, when he made
his will, which was not disputed, and prior. to which
he was proved by evidence to hive fancied that the
Chartists meditated setting fire to property, and to
have closed his shutteis in apprehension of an event
which at the time had no foundation.
On behalf of the defence, the Learned Gentleman
called witnesses, and amongst them Mr. Withall, who
had been in the habit of seeing and constantly con •
veiling and transacting business with the deceased,
and they all concurred in stating that his mind was
perfectly strong and healthy until the year 1845 ;
that at the time of executing the documents he
perfectly well understood what he was about, and
was then a shrewd and intelligent man.
Mr. Sergeant Weexeiss, in reply, made an ener-
getic speech, and availed himself of every circum•
,tance in the evidence to show that Mr. Godfrey was
not of sound mind at the time in question. He
therefore urged that the verdict ought to be for the
plaintiff.
Mr. Justice Ertas summed up the case, and stated
that two questions were submitted for the considera-
tion. of the jury—first, whether, on the 15th of April,
1843, when certain leases were executed, Godfrey
was of unsound mind, so as to be insufficient for the
government of himself and his property ; and, secondly,
whether, on the 11th of. January, and on certain
tether days in the year 1843, when Godfrey bought or
transferred certain stock, he was of unsound mind, so
as to be insufficient for the government of himself and
his property. The jury were at liberty to find any one of
these transactions valid and the. others void, if the
evidence should lead them to that conclusion. There
was no question that admitted of greater gradation
than the question of soundness or unsoundness of
mind. It they were of opinion that he had mind
enough to know and will the act, they would, he
supposedelse of :opinion that he was of sound mind,
sufficient for the government of himself and his pro
perty.. The party who sought to impeach these acts
had the burden of proving the unsoundness of mind.
The Learned Judge then read over the important
parts of the evidence.
The jury retired, and eventually returned a verdict
for the defendants on all the issues.

(Continued from our Third Editi n of Saturday.)
The re election of the committee was then entered
upon. After a good deal of discussion, a resolution
was passed appointing the committee, to consist of
the following gentlemen :—Mr. H. Currie, M.P ;
Captain R. D. Mangles, M.P. ; Mr. Sergeant Clarke;
Mr. Hutchins; and Mr. East.
Mr. D. W. WIRE then . moved a vote of thanki to
the Chairman, which was agreed to, and
Mr. CHAPLIN having briefly acknowledged the
compliment,
The meeting then dispersed.

SAFETY AND COAIFORT IN THEATRES : THE NEW
OLiMPIC.—With respect to construction, the main walls
are 3i bricks thick up to the pit; three bricks above.
The gallery aid box floors are framed with girders, 12
inches by 12 inches, one end into granite corbels in
walls, the other end supported by iron columns, four
inches by five inches diameter. To prevent the thrust
inwards, from the great inclination of the floors (the
gallery timbers rising three feet in five), the ends of the
girders have been secured by iron ties and granite bond,
six inches by four inches, built in the wails, flush outside,
and the whole floor is framed on the principle of a hori-
zontal truss, with abutments from the longitudinal walls.
There are two fire-proof (stone) staircases to the gallery
one for entrance and both for exit, already referred to.
There are also two ways out of the pit, and separate
way from stalls and boxes, so that the house may be
cleared in a few minutes. The whole of the entrances,
passages, &c., including staircases (slate) to the-private
boxes and slips, aro fire-proof. The floor of lobby
round back of boxes is of slate on pugging. The house
is ventilated by an air shaft over the chandelier through
the roof, a large ventilator through the roof at the back
of the gallery, a tier of Semi-circular windows between
gent ry floor and ceiling. There are also air flues in all
the walls, communicating with various parts of the
house, and four internal air shafts from the back of the
pit and boxes through the roof; the upper part of each
of these shafts is rarified by gas burners, which at the
same time light the back of gallery.—Builder.
HONOUR TO BRISTOL.—The new cathedral at An-
tigua, dedicated to St. John, has been completed in two
years. from the designs of Mr. T. Fuller, architect. There
was cot aoy contractor, but the men were paid ant the
building works carried out by Mr.W.Rone, of Bristol, who
gave the greatest satisfaction to the architect and all
parties concerned. There were a few English
workment sent out, but the greater portion of the
work was performed by the natives. The building
accommodates 2,200 persons. The windows are
filled in with thick glass, in large planes, supplied
by Messrs. fix and Williams, of Bristol. The three
east windows were made in England, filled with stained
glass by Mr. Willement, of London. The pulpit, read-
ing-desk, bishop's throne, and stalls, were made of
mahogany, carved in Britol; the font was also sent out
frem Bristol. The organ was made by Mr. Walker, of
London.—Bristol Journal.

that means will be forthcoming, out of which Mrs.
Johnson will be paid cvay farthing. In the first
place, however, we must ascertain what you can
pay her.

Mr. Herring—l will pay her the 4/. at my office,

Mr. LONG—I will not lose sight of your case, Mrs.
Johnson, and I have no doubt that the remainder of
your claim will be made up. Of course you will be
paid your expenses, and in the end I trust—indeed I
do not doubt-4ou will find that you have not sus-
tained any loss. Nothing now remains for me, I
believe, but to ask the prisoner one or two questions,
which iam bound to do in every such case, under
the provisions of a recent Act of Parliament. Ad-
dressing the. prisoner, the magistrate then pro-
ceeded ;—Having heard the evidence read (the
depositions were read on Saturday fast), do you wish
to say anything in answer to the charges? You are
nA obliged to say anything ; but whatever you do
will be taken down in writing, and may be used in
evidence against you hereafter.
The prisoner answered, in a low tone of voice—
Everything is in the power of my attorney.
The Chief Clerk—Do you say that everything is
in the power of your attorney ?
The prisoner—l do.
The magistrate then fully committed the prisoner to
Newgate for trial • and the'procoedings, which lasted
a few minutes only, terminated with his expressing
once more his satisfaction at Mrs. Johnson's conduct
in this melancholy affair.

MANCHESTER, .DEC. 22. Throughout the week
there has been an absence of activity it the demand for
but holders continued to er.hibit ranch
firranees, the previous currency was fully maintained in
the moderate businees passing. The same remarks apply
to oatmeal. Into Liverpo.)l and Runcorn the imports of
oatmeal from Irelaud considerably exceed those of any
preceding week during the present season; the supplies
of oats hence are likewise liberal, and tolerably fair of
flour. From abroad the arrivals of wheat and flour are
large, but only moderate of other articles. At Our market
this mornin,g no material change was observable in the
state of the trade. The transactions in all articles were
on a very limited scale, but there was no anxiety mani-
festi:el to press sales, and late prices were steadily ad-

GORHAM v. THE BISHOP OF
EXETER.
(From the Western Times.)
The arguments on the case of the Rev. George
Cornelius Gorham versus the Bishop of Exeter have
been brought to a coneltpion, and the High Court
stands adjourned for judgment on Monday. The
exciting topics of the locality prevent us from taking
that review of the proceedings which the importance
and gravity of the case would demand. The ques-
tion is one of the gravest that has ever come before
a judicial tribunal, not so much for the facts in dis-
pute as for the consequences likely to follow. Mr.
Gorham, as our readers well know, is a most learned
and pious clergyman, a man of high attainments, and
of the strictest probity from his youth up. Fearless
in character, honest of purpose, a profound divine,
and a determined controversialist, he was the very
last man that our right reverend and respected dio-
cesan should have grappled with. The old gentle-
man, however, a glutton at disputation, seems to have
been unable to let the chance escape him of having a
row, and although he had at the time a great case of
controversy actually in hand—namely, whether it was
for the public benefit that his perversion of facts
should be proved—still, that was not enough for
him—he could not let the opportunity slip, and he
was soon up to his neck in the hot water
of the Baptismal Regeneration " row." Mr.
Gorham was presented by the Crown to
the living of Brampford Speke. He had
to give up St. Just, and thereby to sacrifice some
2001. a year to accept it. The bishop offered no ob-
jection to the change, but, as we have heard, rather
encouraged the rev. gentleman to proceed therein. At
a later stage in the proceedings he expressed a belief
that he had a right to examine the rev. gentleman.
This, it was reported at the time, he did not appear
to press, till the rev. gentleman intimated a doubt of
his power! That was sufficient. " Then I will
examine you !" and as we have heard and believe,
this great controversy, which has occupied the tri-
bunals from Doctors' Commons to the Palace of West-

Inferior.

iIUNTLY, DEn. 18.—This being the day of a cattle
market here, we had a gool many samples of grain
shown, rind several sales made, at the under noted prices,
delivered hero, viz.:e—Common oats, 401bs per bushel,
12s to 12s 6d per quarter; bear, 52 do. do. 163 to 16s 6d
do. Oatmeal, per boll of 1401bs, lOs to 103 3d.
-GLASGOW, DEC. 20.—At our market to-day the num-
bers were—oxen, 798; sheep, 3,030. The supply of
cattle in the market was large, which caused the sales
effected to bo in favour of the purchaser. Beef down
fully 2s per cwt. on best quality. Best ox beef 484 per
cwt., second quality from 42s to 44s per cwt. Bulls,
cows, and interior animals, difficult to sell, and prices
same as last week-30s to 403 per cwt. Sheep much
about the same as last week. Best wethers sid per lb.,
4.1 to 44-4 current, old ewes 3d to 3id per lb. At the
close of the market several lots of sheep remained unsold.
Dimmer, DEC. 21.—There was but a moderate supply
at our corn Market to-day, with a fair demand for every
description of grain at priceS of Tuesday, and in some
cases distillers oats and malting barley brought an ad-
vance of 3d to 6d. Rather more business was done in
Indies corn, but without change in price. White wheat,
18; to 235; red ditto, 173 6,1 to 224; barley, 1 is 6d to
14s 6d; oats (old). 9s to 10; 6:1 per brl.; oatmeal, lOs to
1 ls 6d; seconds flour, 12s 6.1 to 16s per cwt.; Indian
corn, '26s to 30s per 4801bs.
CORK; Dee. 21.—We have a few arrivals of foreign
grain. The supply of home grown is tolerably good,
the receipts for the week amounting to:—wheat, 2,837
brls at 16s to 22s per brl; barley, 2,997 brls, at 8s to
113 8d per brl; oats, 6,131 brls at 7s to 9s 3d per WI
In the green market wheat has maintained its value.
Barley, however, has rather given way in price, while
oars have manifested an upward tendency. We have
had little business pas.,ing either in prepared Irish or
foreign wheat, and prices remain without alteration from
our quotations of last week. A few parcels of superior
grinding barley have charged hands at late rates, but
malting sernple are scarce and eagerly looked for.
Owing to the high pretensions of holders, who are very
firm, but little business has been done in oats, on which
an advance of 3d per barrel was sought to be established.
It' the prices of last week were eubmieted to, a fair
amount of business might have been done. We quote

minster—was precipitated, not so much through a
care for the principle involved, as to vindicate the
official power and prelatical dignity of our right rev.
friend. A most worthy beginning, truly, of a question
which is to rend the Church asunder. We pass over
the harsh and unfeeling conduct displayed by Bishop
Phillpotts towards his worthier brother, and shall
leave the case itself at present, merely adding that the
question really is whether the Articles of the Church
are to govern the ritual, or whether the latter is to
prevail over the law of the former, and thus contra•
vene the foundation of the Church as by law esta-
blished. Bishop Phillpotts' love of strife has done a
pretty thing for the Christian Peace and Protestant
Faith of this realm.
(From the Hull Advertiser.)
The decision of the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council, in the case of the Rev. Mr. Gorham
against the Bishop of Exeter, is looked for ward to
with immense interest by Churchmen of all classes.
We are under great apprehension that it will satisfy
no party. The real question is, whether the Church
of England holds the doctrine of baptismal regenera-
tion ; but the one which will be decided is the right
of the Bishop of Eieter to compel an ordained priest,
previously charged with the care of souls, to undergo
a fresh examination before presentation to another
living. The opinions of laymen upon such questions
are of very little moment; but it has often struck
us as exceedingly strange that there should be any
doubt among well-rend men as to the baptismal
doctrine held and professed by the Church , of
England in her Canons and Articles. It goes hard
with us to take the same side as the Bishop of
Exeter, but upon the doctrine of Baptismal Rege-
neration, " Our Henry," as the Western Times
familiarly designates his Lordship, is truly orthodox.
We know that there is a large party in the Church
who hold the same opinions as Mr. Gorham, and it is
a singular fact that among them are the present
Archbishops of Canterbury and York, but that
does not in the least affect the vital truth
of the question. Whether the doctrine of the
Church of England upon Baptism be Scripturally
right or wrong, is a matter with which in these
columns we have nothing whatever to do. We pre-
sume not to meddle with the religious convictions of
any Church, or any member thereof ; but we feel no
difficulty in giving our opinion as to the exact doc-
trine taught by the early Fathers of the English
Church, and set forth in the Canons, Articles, and Book
of Common Prayer.

INDUSTRIAL PAUPER EDUCATION.
(From the Hull Advertiser.)
The eloquent Rector of Althorpe, in Lincolnshire,
the Rev. James Aspinall—whose name stands on our
list for a bishopric—came well to our assistance at
the annual soirée of the Beverley Mechanics' Insti-
tute on Wednesday, upon the important question of
industrial pauper education. Though the social
obligation of bestowing a careful course of industrial
training upon pauper children may come " self-
recommended" to such excellent Christian clergymen
as the Rev. Mr. Aspinall, we can assure hitn he
would find the proposition the reverse of general, if
he were called upon to propound it before the sapient
board of guardians charged with the management of
the poor of Hull. We are therefore exceedingly grateful
for the assistance which he has rendered us, by
volunteering his powerful support of the principle of
industrial training for the pauper children of this
district. Nor would we be selfish in this respect.
We can assure our Rev. Friend that he cannot
render a more important service to society, and more
especially to the more helpless of his fellow-crea-
tures, than in opening the eves of many of the best
supporters of mechanics' institutions to the importance
of training up pauper children in habits of industry.
The subject in his hands would prove a most attrac-
tive one. Touched by the Ithuriel spear of his
genius, the truthfulness of it would glow with do
effulgence which would attract thousands of in-
terested beholders. What a subject of local pride—
of laudable congratulation, it would be to have an
Industrial Pauper School in the neighbourhood of
Driffield, capable of containing all the pauper children
of the unions of Hull, Sculcoates, Beverley, Driffield,
Bridlington, Patrington, and. Skirlaugh I And yet
when we proposed the establishment of such a school
in the Hull board of guardians, we could only find
twelve supporters out of thirty five members present.
From this Mr. Aspinall will see that the world is not
so advanced in true knowledge as he gives it credit
for—and that it is really a very important thing that
such projects are receiving the support of such
Christian philanthropists as the Right Hon. M. T.
Baines, M.P., Lord Ebrington, and himself. Uncon-
sciously, perhaps. but at the same time most pro-
videntially, the Rev. Mr. Aspinall has opened fur
himself a new door of usefulness in connexion
with the National Education Movement. We
entreat him not to close it again. The question of
the industrial training of pauper children, on the
scale of magnitude proposed by us, is one compara-
tively new. It is also one which he is singularly
well qualified to adorn and illustrate in the happiest
manner. " Suffer little children to come unto me,
for of such are the kingdom of Heaven," was the
admonitory language of the great Head of the Church,
and ever beautiful in the mouths of the Christian
ministry.
We are glad that our friends in Beverley have
had an opportunity of hearing one of the eloquent
addresses of the Rev. Mr. Aspinall. They will now
be able to judge of the class of bishops we should
have if Lord John Russell were to consult us on the
question of episcopal preferments. Instead of select-
ing men for mitres because they had written dull
theological treatises, read by nobody—as the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury confesses he is in the habit of
doing—we should select men for mitres who, in their
path through the world, left a trail of moral and
intellectual light behind them, as Mr. Aspinall has
done, and is still doing. It really is disgraceful to a
Whig Government to remain apparently blind to the
claims to promotion in the Church of such a clergyman.

A SAFE BET FOR BOTH PARTIES.—TWO bloods rgra
cently entered a tavern in New York where they bin
frequently resorted, and, calling for suppFe and 01,3
bottles of champagne, informed their host that they )od.
laid a wager of such a repast as they hid ordered, ¢°a
had agreed to refer the question to him. They hoPeo
he would wait for his pay until the decision, and tted
charge his amount to the loser. The landlord assent a
and they sat down to a hearty supper. When they "4
finished, mine host had the curiosity to ask what vt'd
the nature of the bet, and was not a little chagrillo
when he received for answer that it orignated in a dile
pute as to the direction the brick meeting-house steePo
would take should it ever fall. The one bet it WOO
fall , ast, the other west.
