BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
We have to notice a better feeling in the demand for
the best East Kent flops of the present year's growth,
at an advance in the quutations of 2s per cwt. In other
kinds, with which the market is well supplied, rather an
improved amount of business is doing, and prices are
fairly supported. Sussex Pockets, 21 16s to 3/ 6s ;

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
ROSE V. RUSSELL.

The plaintiff in this action resides in the Wands-
worth-road. The defendant is a musician in Jullien's
band. The action was brought to recover the sum of
31. is. for lodgings for defendant's wife. The de-
fendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
Mr. ROBINSON, for the plaintiff, said the claim was
for five months lodging of Mrs. Russell and her son.
Mrs. Russell having been obliged to separate from
her husband in consequence of the ill treatment she
received, and her husband being living with another
woman. He would show that Mrs. Russell had been
reduced to a state of the greatest distress, and that
defendant was liable at least up to a certain time,
when the magistrate made an order on defendant to
allow Mrs. Russell six shillings a week. The claim
had been reduced to 31. 55., plaintiff's wife having
given Mrs. Russell work, part of which was paid for
liberally, and the other Mrs. Russell let run off the
rent.

Matilda Rayment was called, and proved she was
servant to the plaintiff'. Mrs. Russell lived then with
her son. She was in a state of starvation during a
great part of the time. Mr. Russell did not visit,
and only called once to inquire for his son.
Cross-examined—She was not in the habit of being
visited by men—a Mr. Webb called now and then as
a friend.

The. Learned SECONDARY said, if it wa s intended to
he proved she was living in adultery, such evidence
would be good as a bar to the demand, but if it could
not be proved, such question had better not be put.
The cross-examination was then discontinued.

Mrs. Armitage. a sister of the plaintiff, was called,
and proved that Mrs. Russell was in a very dis-
tressed state. She never saw any impropriety in her
behaviour, in drinking or otherwise.
Mr. John Robert Webb was called. He had
known defendant from childhood. Defendant and his
wife had been married about fourteen years. De-
fendant treated his wife with brutality, and in conse-
quence of his striking her, witness discontinued
visiting the house for two years before the separation.
He was formerly a suitor to defendant's sister, and
was a very frequent visitor at the house.
Cross-examined—He visited Mrs. Russell—per-
haps twice a week. She was not in the habit of
drinking, nor did he ever see her drunk. He was
not in the habit of smoking, or drinking with her.
On one occasion only he smoked his own pipe, and
sent out for a glass of ale—that was on one occa-
sion when Mrs. Russell had called on him to request
him to attend as a witness before the magistrates to
state the facts, in order to get an order for mainte-
nance, which he did.

By Mr. RORINSON—I solemnly swear that there
is not the slightest ground for imputing improper
conduct between me and Mrs. Russell.

The defendant's attorney said that under the cir-
cumstances he should not carry the case further.
The Learned SECONDARY said the defendant was
legally liable during the time he made no allowance
to his wife.

The jury accordingly found for the amount
claimed.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
We are requested by Mr. llammill, the sitting.
Magistrate, to acknowledge the receipt of I SI. for-
warded to him from the Earl of C---, and who in
the letter in which the money was enclosed, expressed
a hope that others might be induced to "go and do
likewise." 51. has also been sent by " M.A.P.," and
two soveloigns from " MX." Each donation was
sent towards the funds of the poor-box.

BRADSHATV'S RAILWAY ALIIIANACK, DI-
RECTORY, and SHAREHOLDERS' GUIDE
and MANUAL for 1848.
This useful publication, in addition to the usual
contents of an Almanack, gives us lists of the directors,
engineers, secretaries, and principal officers of all the
railways in the United Kingdom, and is illustrated by a
large Map of Great Britain, with all the lines of rail-
way laid down, including both those in operation and
those for which Acts have been obtained to the pre-
sent time. It also contains a correct account of the
amalgamations and leases of lines, with the rent and
tolls of the same, of the guaranteed stock, and of the
dividend or interest payable on each line of railway—so
that parties desirous of investing their capital in rail-
way shares will here find every information that
they can require to direct them in their purchases.
But it is not to the shareholder alone that "Bradshaw's
Railway Almanack" will be found useful; the railway
traveller will find in the Travellers' Directory a full
account of the best mode of conveyance by road, rail,
and sea, between the metropolis and the principal
towns throughout England and Wales, together with
their distance from London, the nearest station by
railway, and cost of transit. In fact, all information
that either shareholders or travellers can require will
be found in " Bradshaw's Railway Almanack."

WEBSTER'S ROYAL RED BOOK, or, Court
and Fashionable Register for 1848.
This edition of the " Red Book " has been care-
fully corrected up to the date of publication, and con-
tains a greater amount of information than any other
work of a similar kind which has yet appeared. The
publishers have amalgamated the Law Courts with
the other portions of the book, which greatly facili-
tates a reference to its contents. There is also, for
the first time, added a complete list of the Baronets of
the United Kingdom, with the dates of their creation,
and also a list of various new streets, which have be-
come inhabited since the commencement of 1847.
This is the most complete edition of the " Red Book"
that has yet appeared.

A COMPANION 70 717 E BAROMETER; or,
A Table for Showing what State of Weather will be
Likely to Follow its Changes. By John Underwood,
London.
Mr. Underwood, in presenting this table to the
public, says—
" That his object has been, not to furnish
matter of research to the scientific meteorologist, but
to supply a desideratum long felt--viz., a simple
means of foretelling the kind of weather that may
be expected to result from the simultaneous observa-
tion of certain phenomena. With this view he has
collected, arranged, and condensed the chief series of
meteorological observations that have been made
during the last thirty years, more especially those
with reference to the variations in the height of the
barometric column."
Considering the notoriously uncertain conclusions
which are at present drawn from the weather-glass, it
must be acknowledged that a table of the nature of
the one under review would, if correct, be invalu•
able ; and, to make it correct Mr. Underwood has
spared no pains. lie says—
". This table has been compiled with the most
s not stated
which exactness, and nothing has been
lir
which the experience of many.
n t.
meteorologist, of oofilySaonfdl‘wi.ric.hl,Ve H.
adds to the
s off
Weeks,
thea eminentThe follov‘,
confidence with which this work is offered to the pub-
lic. lie writes thus :---` All
rthe leisure I could com-
mand since I received your paper has been devoted to
the subject. I have gone over my own journals for
twenty-seven years, in addition
to many others, and I
have now no hesitation
in saying .I. believe your table
to come as near the truth as anything of
in the present state of our knowledge, likely to ap-
proach.'"

The Collegiate, or Cathedral Church at Manchester,
although of the latest period of Gothic architecture, has
many beautiful parts, in spite of the perishable nature
of the stone used in its erection, and the restorations to
which it has been subjected, at less favourable periods
than the present. Internally, there are some remark-
ably fine roofs, and much old stallvvork, and other wood-
work in various parts of the building. The restorations

of the pulpit and fittings, rendering the building more
in accordance with its new purpose.—Budder.
