was simply a patron of a scheme, and not a person who
took an active part in the management of its affairs.
Although it was shown that the defendant did take his
part in the management of the affairs of the company in
its early stages, nothing of the kind was shown at the
advanced period, when the debt was incurred.

Lord DiNmAN said, it appeared that the plaintiff had
notice that there was a managing committee, as the
names of such a committee appeared on the face of the
prospectus sent to him to print; they were struck out in
order to save expense, perhaps.
The COURT took time to consider the application, as
it was possible they might be called upon to pronounce
an opinion upon others of a similar nature during the
term.
The Court then rose.

BAIL COURT, Jan. 11.
Mr. Justice Erie took his seat in this Court this morn-
ing, at half-past nine o'clock.
The business transacted was of no public importance.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 11.
BEILBY V. SHEPHERD. _

In this cause, which was tried before the Lord Chief
Baron at the sittings after last Michaelmas term, a ver-
dict was returned tor the defenda at, with liberty to move
to enter the verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of 50/.
The defendant was the master of a vessel named the
Nisus, and was sailing from Ostend to Gainsborough.
The plaintiff was a pilot licensed by the Trinity House
at Hull, and ho had offered to pilot the ♦essel in ques-
tion, which the master, in violation of thepeneral Na-
vigation Act of the 6th of Geo. IV., chap. 125, had re-
fused, thereby rendering himself liable to the amount of the
penalty named in the Act, to recover which the present
action was brought. The point reserved at the trial
was, whether the defendant was liable under the `oth
section of the Act, which imposed a penalty of 50/., or
under the 58th section, which fixed the penalty at a few
shillings? The Learned Baron who tried the cause was
of opinion that the master of the vessel was not liable
under the 70th section of the Act.
Mr. MARTIN now contended that the defendant was
liable under both sections of the Act.—Judgment post-
poned.

case for six weeks, or until such time as the lad Madden
would be able to attend, intimating at the same time that
he would take bail in the meantime for the prisoner's
appearance.
Solvent bail was at once tendered, and the prisoner
was liberated.

MARKET NE WS.--(Y ESTERDAY.)
CORN-EXCIZANGE.
The arrivals of English Wheat, up to our market last
week, were on a very moderate scale, while those of all other
grain of home produce, including Flour, were unusually
small. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any corn came
to hand. The imports of Foreign Wheat, Barley, and Peas,
were trifling ; but those of Oats, Beans, and Flour—the
latter exceeding 23,000 barrels, chiefly from America—were
moderately good. Fresh up coastwise, as well as by land
carriage and samples, a fair average quantity of Wheat of
home produce came to hand from Essex and gent ; but from
the other home counties, the receipts of that article were
trifling. The stands being scantily filled with samples, and the
attendance of both town and country buyers good, the demand
for English Wheat was firm, at an advance in the qnotations
paid on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. This im-
provement was realized on Friday, consequently prices were
not higher than on that day, and a total clearance was not
effected. With free foreign Wheat we were scantily sup-
plied. All descriptions commanded a ready, but not to say
brisk inquiry, at a rise in the currencies of from is to 2s per
quarter from this day se'nnight. There was a very good
demand for inferior foreign Wheats in bond for shipment to
Ireland, at Is to 2s per quarter more money. Selected
and middling qualities were not dearer, although
a gcod business was transacted in them. The show
of Barley, both English and foreign, but especially
that of the former, was trifling. The malstere being in want
of supply, the demand was active, at a further advance in
the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. Scarcely any
Malt was on offer. Those parties in actual want were com-
pelled to give from is to 2s per quarter more money than
last week. Several parcels were disposed of for forward de-
livery at that amount of improvement. The show of Oats
was wholly inadequate to meet the demand, which was, in
consequence active, at ls to 2s per quarter above last Mon-
day's figures. Very few Beans were on offer, owing to which
holders refused to sell except at ls to 2s per quarter more
money. All kinds of Peas moved off readily, at a rise of from
is to 2s per quarter. Flour was in good request at the late
advance in value.

The imports of live stock into London during the pact
week have been vary limited, viz., 20 Cows and 250 Sheep
from Boulogne, together with 3 Oxen, 46 Cows, and 356
Sheep from Harlingen. At the outports, about 200 Beasts
and 600 Sheep have been landed from Holland, and 20 Oxen
front Spain, in moderate condition. To-day we had on offer
20 Beasts and 80 Sheep from Holland and 2 Oxen from
Spain, the whole of which found buyers at somewhat im-
proved currencies. With home-fed Beasts we were, the time
of year considered, scantily supplied ; while the general
quality of that description of stock was by no means first rate.
The weather being favourable to slaughtering, and the
attendance of buyers numerous, the Beef trade was steady,
and in some instances a trifle more money was obtained for
the best Scots, Devons, and Herefords. At the close of busi-
ness a good clearance had been effected. The arrivals from
the northern districts comprised about 1,100 short-horns ;
from the eastern counties, 300 Herefords, short-horns, and
Scots; from the western and midland districts, 700 Here-
fords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from other parts of England,
500 of various breeds: the remainder of the supply being
chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The numbers of Sheep were small, but of excellent quality.
All breeds commanded a steady though not to say brisk de-
mand at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, last week's
prices. With Calves we were moderately supplied, while the
Veal trade was steady, and previous rates well supported.
There was more inquiry for Pigs, but in prices we have no
alteration to report.

The past week's arrivals of the country-killed Meat up to
these markets have been considerably on the increase ; while
the supplies on offer slaughtered in tha metropolis have been
seasonably good. Generally speaking, the demand has been
in a very inactive state, and all kinds of bleat have sold on
somewhat easier terms. Only about twenty carcases of
foreign Beasts, and 100 ditto of Sheep have appeared on sale,
in very middling condition.

FIRE IN THE STRAND.—Yestreday, at about half-
past twelve o'clock, an alarming fire broke out on the
prf,mises of Mr. Taylor, who carries on an extensive
business as a printer, at No. 1, Pickett-place, Strand.
Considerable alarm was created when the flames first

burst forth, owing to the inflammable nature of the
goods on the premises, chiefly consisting of books, papers,
&c., and also from the fact of its being almost in con-
tact with the large printing establishment of Mr. Nex,
which extends from the termination of Pickett-place
nearly to Clement's-lane. Immediately after, the fire,
which apparently commenced in the underground por-
tion of the buildings, had been discovered, messengers
were dispatched to the different fire-engine stations, and
several engines were speedily upon the spot. A plenti
ful supply of water being obtained, at a quarter to two
all danger of further extension was at au end. Consi-
derable damage, however, appears, we regret to say, to
have been done to the furniture and stock in trade, both
by removal and water. A large body of the F division
of p dice were in attendance, and succeeded in keeping
order, and driving back the immense number of persons
who thronged round the premises.
We read in a letter from Berne of the 4th :
" Scarcely had the new Directory been installed in
office, when its attention was excited by grave events in
the canton of Fribourg. It will be remembered that
about a month ago two popular assemblies were held
at Murat, and that an address was voted to the Grand
Council of Fribourg, demanding that the - Canton
should cease to form part of the Ultra-Montane league.
In order, however, to strengthen this application, a
popular meeting was held soon afterwards at Esta-
voyer, the chief town of a district bordering on the Lake
of Neufchatel, and another took place in the district
of Gruyere. At both these meetings resolutions were
come to similar to those of Morat. The Council of
State of Fribourg interfered to prevent further mani-
festations, and the Prefect of Estavoyer was ordered
to arrest the two most influential members of the Li-
beral Committee, M. Fasel and M. Duruz, These
arrests took place on the 31st ultimo, but they were no
sooner known than the people rose, the tocsin was
sounded, and several hundred men from the villages
marched to Estavoyer, singing the Marseillaise. The
insurgents demanded the release of the prisoners, and
the prefect, taking alarm, set them at liberty. The

was resolved to sort the demands of the Liberals of
i Estavoyer, and t is added that the Government of the
canton de Vaud
has given notice to the Government of
Fribourg, that if it attempts to send troops to put down
the liberal manifestations, they will not be permitted to
pass through the Vaud territory, without doing which
they cannot get to Estavoyer. The affair is now before
the Vorort, but as yet no decision has been come to as
to the course to be pursued."
COLLISION ON THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS
RAILWAY.--The train which left Manchester on Tues-
day night last, at twenty minutes to six, ran into a lug-
gage train about two hundred yards from the Rochdale
station, smashing one and damaging several other of the
carriages. Several of the pasiengers were injured, and
all of them much shaken, but none seriously hurt. The
guard suffered the most injury. Mr. John Bright was
one of the passengers in this train, which runs no fur-
r than Rochdale. It is supposed that the luggage
train was too heavily laden to move on.—Leeds Mercury.

notice was posted at Guildhall of the intention of the

PERIODICAL LITERATURE.

A correspondent of the Atheneum communicates some
interesting statistics of the press of Italy. " A Turin
paper," ho says, "entitled Il Mondo Illustrato, enume-
rate> the journals published in each state of Italy in the
years 1836 and 1845, together with the population ;
thus showing the advance which this branch of litera-
ture has made within the last nine years, and the pro-
portion of the population for each journal. The table
is tie follows : Population

Duchy of Modena, Modena, Lucca 11 13 74,000
Grand Duchy of Tuscany .. 14 16 80,000
The Pope's Dominions_
Kingdom of the Two bicilies

171 205 702,000
Taking this table as being some indication of the degree
of mental progress in Italy, it will appear that the Pope's
states have made a greater advance than any other por-
tion of the peninsula, whilst the Venetian states have
made a retrograde movement—the first part of this state-
ment being, perhaps, almost contrary to expectation.
But then we must not forget that the Pope's states em-
brace Bologna—almost the most enlightened and inde-
pendent spirited portion of Italy. The Lombard pro-
vinces, though they have made but a slight progress
within the last nine years, are supplied with journals
better, it seems, in relation to the population, than any
other portion Italy ;and, indeed, any one coming from
the south, and remaining some little time at Milan, will
perceive that he is amongst a people wider awake, and
more under the invigorating influences of northern civili-
sation. The worst supplied are the Sardinian states—
then the Venetian—then the Neapolitan. Now, the first
and last of these are completely under the dominion of
the Jesuits ; and so severe is the censure of the press,
especially in the kindom of the Two Sicilies, that it is
diffieult to get anything
i sanctioned for printing or publi-
cation> What wonder s it, then, that a literary famine
should be the consequence ? Besides those above men-
tioned, seventeen journals in the Italian language were
published in 1836 in Lugano, Magliaso, Paris, Roveredo,
Trieste, and Zara ; whilst, in 1845, others were pub-
lished in Malta-Fiume, Constantinople, Corfu, and Mon-
tevideo. Having thus disposed of Italy, the writer in Il
Mondo Illustrato proceeds to give a statement of similar
particulars with respect to the other states of Europe,
and thus silently institutes a comparison between them
and the Peninsula. Thus, adopting the same
j arrange-
ment as in the other table, he gives the number (f* jour-
nals in the first column, and the relative population for
each journal in the second.

Austria, including the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom
German Confederation, Austrian
and Prussian Depencies included 1,836 18,000
France
Belgium
Great Britain
Russia

159 198,000

Numerically considered, then, France, Belgium, and
the German provinces fare better supplied than Great
Britain with periodicals, whilst Russia and the Austrian
provinces are the worst supplied. This is, however, no
proof that the periodical literature is less diffused in this
country than in the others, with which it is compared
above. Some of the foreign journals have but a very
limited circulation; for instance, a particular journal at
Bolagna has only 500 subscribers—and it is cited
as a proof of the encouragement of periodical literature.
Yet a political journal in London has its 20,000 pur-
chasers and upwards, and readers it is impossible to sly
how many.

The Hon. Miss Lister, sister of Lord Itibblesdale
will be married in a few days to Mr. Maurice Drum-
mond, son of Charles Drummond, Esq , of Stratton-
street, Piccadilly.
Orders were issued on Saturday from the Lord
Chamberlain's office, directing all necessary preparations
to be made for her Majesty opening the ensuing session
of Parliament (on Tuesday, the 19th inst.) in person.
BAPTISM BY IMMERSION.—A novel and interesting
feature has lately been introduced into Trevethin
Churcb, Monmouthshire. under the sanction' of the
Bishop of the diocese. A baptistry, measuring efc. by
31t. 6in., and 4ft. deep, has been placed near the south
door, wherein it is intended, should any person (and in
this district there are many such), having conscientious
objections to the sacrament of Eaptism by sprinkling,
to perform it by immersion.—Hereford Journal.
SHAMEFUL IMPOSTURE.—One day in the week pre •
ceding the last, a fellow, whom our informant, a highly
respectable citizen, says is a resident of Hereford, went
to the house of Exell (the man who was sentenced to
transportation on Tuesday last for stealing a sheep, the
property of Lady Emily Foley), at Woolhope, and told
his unfortunate wife that her husband had escaped from
the county prison, and desired him to call upon her for
his best suit, of clothes and five shillings. The unsuspi-
cious woman, not doubting the truth of what the scoun-
drel told her, instantly complied with her husband's
supposed request; we need scarcely say that the tale
the fellow told was entirely false, and that he committed
a heartless robbery.—Hereford Times.
CEARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A POLICE-
MAN.—HERTFORD, FRIDAY.— the death of a prisoner,
named John Serle, in the county goal near this town,
who in being captured received a serious cut from a cut-
lass used by Thomas Bygrave, one of the county police
force, was the subject of a coroner's inquiry on the 6th
inst. The evidence showed that the officer had exer-
cised much unnecessary violence towards the deceased.
Earl) on the morning of the 22d ult. the deceased and
his two sons were seen walking into the churchyard at
Bishop's Stortford. They were carrying a sack, appa-
rently half filled with flour, and Bygrave and another
constable followed them. On seeing the officers, they
ran away, but on the policeman coming up to them, they
attempted to resist being captured. Bygrave received a
serious blow on the arm from a bludgeon, and the three
again made off. The deceased, being a bulky man, could
not make so hasty a retreat as his sons, and finding the
police were upon him, he proceeded to make a more de-
termined resistance. Bygrave drew a cutlass, and, ac-
cording to his statement, intended to have struck him on
the arm with it ; it however fell on his head, and in-
flicted a serious wound. He was removed to the county
gaol, and died on the 3d inst. Mr. Davis described death
to have been caused by erysipelas, which might hare oc-
curred without the!wound. Capt. Kelly, the superintendent
of
lh allowed ed police,to informed the coroner that the officers were
not wear cutlasses ; they were called in about
w
emwonths ago. After some considerable discussion
t
on the conduct of Bygrave, in the course of which the
jury very much deprecated the way he had used the
sword to the deceased, they worded their verdict to the
effect that the deceased had died from erysipelas, and
although it might be possible that it was induced by the
blow inflicted, the medical testimony was not sufficiently
strong to lead to the suspicion that the disease entirely
arose from the blow. If it had been such, it would have
been their duty to send the constable for trial on a charge
of manslaughter. The jury added that they were of
opinion that he had displayed excessive zeal rather than
want of duty.
RECEPTION OF THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.—Mr.
J. K. Walker, the private secretary of the President, ap-
peared at the entrance of the main aisle, and the door-
keeper announced " A Message .from the President of
the United States." Mr. Walker bowed, and when he
had resumed bis upright position, said:— Mr. Speaker
—I am directed by the President of the United States to
deliver to the House a message in writing." Before the
long and anxiously-looked-for document was conveyed
to the table, and while on its way thither, there were
cries of " Let's hear what he his to say about the
war." "Go ahead with it." "Now for: the news."
The clerk broke the envelope, and, 101 there was
the Message. However, he preferred reading from a
printed copy; and having previously turned over the
pamphlet, to see its length, he proceeded to gratify
the honourable assemblage. A bundle of messages, fresh
'was placed en the corner of the clerk's
aobmle, immediately nearly all the members left their
ftrtahnedpress
seats, and went in that direction to procure copies. Some
of those who remained in their places cried out, " Bring
me one ; two, if you choose. The Speaker rapped, and
requested gentlemen to preserve order.—(How could
they under the circumstances ?) The pages were seen
up some this way, boys," said one ;
running over the hall with copies of the Message in their
hands :—" Bring
"furnish us first," remarked another. All being sup-
plied, tranquillity was restored, and gentlemen leaned
backed in their seats to read the Message, keeping pace
with the clerk. In the clause wherein the name of
" Jackson" is mentioned as having said the wrongs of
Mexico should no longer be endured, the clerk, by mis-
take, read "Jefferson," Half a-dozen corrected him by
crying out'" Jackson," "Jackson said that." The clerk
proceeded, and when ho came to that part about the
permission granted to Santa Anna, by Commodore Con-
nor, to pass the blockade and go into Vera Cruz, there
was suppressed laughter and cry of " Oh !"
'
On Saturday night, at nine o'clock, a meeting of
the Broad-silk Handloom Weavers Union of Spitalfields
was held at the Crown and Anchor, Waterloo Town,
Betkeal• green, adjourned from that day three weeks, to
consider the propriety of presenting a memorial to the
Board of Trade in reference to the state of the silk
trade, as dependent upon the various Acts which have
been passed by the Legislature for its protection and
otherwise, and also to receive a statement of the accounts
for the last quarter. After some discussion a resolution
in favour of the protective principle was moved and
unanimously agreed to.

SCIEN •CL v. HYMEN.—The Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway is now opened throughout, and as it constitutes
the route to the far-fenced Gretna, if the electric tele-
graph should be adopted by the directors on that line,
elopements would become almost impracticable. What
an enemy science is to romance and love ! And what a
shame that young ladies who are kind enough to go a
hundred miles out of their way to make a man happy,
should, like mere price
be thus snared and caught by
wires ! To establish the telegraph in the south may be
all well enough, but to carry it to Carlisle—the last
stage to Gretna—the very vestibule to bliss— is an
encroachment which
ought never to be permitted. It
would be directing the galvanic battery of science against
the rarest temple Hymen has—it would destroy the little
romance of life which still lingers in a manufacturing
age, and would take away all the piquaaey of love's
adventure.
