(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Error, before Lord Chief Justice Wilde,
Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr.
Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Justice
Coltman, and Mr. Justice Cresswell.)
BARON DE BODE V. REG.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved to set aside a
writ of error brought by the late Baron de Bode. The
Learned Counsel contended that the present plaintiff,
being administrator to the late plaintiff in error, could
not carry on the proceedings under that writ, that it
was not competent for him to do so except upon a
writ of scire facias, and that such writ could not be
obtained except upon the fiat previously obtained
from the Attorney-General, or that without obtain-
ing this fiat from the Attorney-General the only
course left open to the plaintiff would be to apply to
the House of Lords.
The COURT granted the order.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY
(Sittings in Banco.)
JOLL V. DOWNES.

In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice
Williams at the last sittings after Trinity Term, and
a verdict found for the plaintiff for 2001.,
Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL moved for a rule to show
cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground
that the verdict was against the bulk of the evidence.
The action was brought to recover the amount due
to the plaintiff, who is an engineer, for work done in
surveying and mapping a projected line of railway,
called the Canterbury and Herne Bay Railway, of
which the defendant was a director. The principal point
upon which he founded his application was with re-
ference to the mode in which the plaintiff's charges
were to be liquidated. It was proved at the trial by
the solicitor to the company that the plaintiff agreed
to make the survey on the understanding that he was
to be paid out of the deposits received, and not to
look to the directors for payment.
1 The COURT granted a rule.
The LORD MAYOR—Shortly after half-past two
o'clock, a procession, headed by the Mace-bearer
and Sword-bearer, and consisting, of the Lord Mayor
Elect, the late Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, the Recorder,
and several members of the Courts of Aldermen and
Common Council entered the court, and after bowing
to the Bench, the Recorder advanced and, addressing
their Lordships, said—l am desired, by the Right
'l4 Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs of the City of
!i London, to request the honour of your Lordships'
company at an entertainment to be given this day at
the Guildhall in the City.
Their Lordships then bowed, and the procession
. immediately retired.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 9,

SUGAR.—To-day there was much activity in the Raw
Sugar market, exporters as well as the home dealers
% manifesting a strong desire to do busines, and a
turther advance in the value of every kind took place.
, There was but a moderate quantity on offer. All
kinds of 'West India Muscovado were in extensive de-
mand for both the scale and refining purposes ; the
rates obtained in the private market exhibited an advance
on those of Friday of 6d to Is per cwt. The total pur-
chases amounted to 1,200 hhos and tierces, including
the public sales, viz, 235 hhds of Barbadoes, which went
with spirit at a rise on the quotations of Tuesday last.
REFINED.—To-day many purchases were made in
3c• refined goods by the home trade, and prices further
3i advanced—Standard lumps at 53s 6d to 545, and brown
grocery 53s per cwt; Indeed, some of the refiners refuse
to sell upon these terms. Bonded crushed is wanted,
and it is difficult to purchase at 30. per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—To- day there was no public sale of
East India sugar. Of Bengal several parcels were dis-
posed of by private treaty, and at slightly enhanced
rates. Madras was sought after, and of the damp
ice, kinds several parcels were disposed of at 29s to 34,,
The tendency of prices is upwards, and the supply is of
the decrease.

Maystmus.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was in
excellent request, arid the two parcels offered at public
1s
ss sale, amounting to 8,337 bags, were all sold with spirit,
les at an advance on t,-.rmer rates of 6d to is per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
lAas Sugar, but privately purchase to a fair extent were
, made, and the rates paid were rather above those that
existed previously.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee met with
little attention, and 77 bales 125 half bales at public
sale, were only in part sold at rather lower rates, good
yellow at 58s to 58s 6d, middling and good brownish
56s to 57s 6d, yellow lung berry 70s, peas 625. Planta-
tion Ceylon was in excellent request, and a public sale
ts. of 1,756 bags, 34 casks went off readily is to 2s above
t!ii former quotations. Native is wanted and 485 bags at
'B6 auction sold at 6el per cwt advance. Privately some
, parcels of good ordinary were sold at 33s to 335 6d
ts. per cwt.
RICE.—To-day a large amount of business was con-
cluded in East India Rice by private treaty and a further
advance in prices took places—low white Bengal sell-
ing at 12s to 13s, mid 13s 6d to 14s, good and fine
14s 6,1 to 16s, cargo 9s 6d to lis ;. Madras pinky
white 11s 6d to 12s.,Pearl Barley lOs 6d to 12s per
cwt. None was offered at public sale.
TEA.—The arrivals have been of little moment since
this day week, but duty was paid on the large quantity
of 499,716 lbs during that time. Public sales amount
ing to 12,000 pkgs are declared. There is a large quan-
tity of all kinds of Tea on offer by private treaty, and
merchants are desirous to sell, notwithstanding the low
rates that exist. For Congou the prices accepted being
under those that existed previously, induced the home
trade to operate more freely, and in all sorts a fair
amount of business has been concluded privately. Pon-
chong is wanted, and the parcels sold fetched 3d to Bd.
For Green, prices continue to recede, as holders are
pressing sale, but many parcels have been sold owing to
the low rates taken.
SPIRITS.—To-day a fair business was concluded in all
kinds of Rum, and holders refused to further reduce
their prices. Leeward Island sold at Is 8d proof, fine
brown ditto is 9d ; East India is 6d ; Demerara 28 to
38 per cent over at 2s 9d to 3s ; Jamaica, middling and
good 33 to 35 over 3s 6d to 3s 9d, and fine at 4s to 4s 3d
per gal.
FRUIT.—The supply of Valentia Raisins is on the
increase, and there are sellers upon further reduced
terms, yet the trade operate with caution. The stock of
Currants has been further increased, and the market is
in a quiet state. Turkey Figs of fine quality are much
in demand, but inferior and out of condition, of which
there is an abundant supply, are dull of sale, and offered
at low rates. The value, according to quality, is 37s
to 80s per cwt. There is an impression that Fruit will
be cheaper, as supplies will be abundant this seasen.
MoLAEsF.s.—West India are not much required, and
all kinds can he obtained upon rather lower terms. Since
this day week the sales have been only 200 casks—
Mauritius at 16s ; SL Kitts 16s 6.1 ; Antigua good 18s,
and Cuba low 15s per cwt. The stock is nearly double
of what it was in the past year, but the deliveries are
greater.
SPICES.—Brown Nutmegs have been in excellent re-
quest at full rates; fine kinds brought 2d per lb advance:
at auction 61 cots 5 bxs and 9 bags sold. Mace is in
larger supply, and a decline in the value of 2d per lb
has taken place; but 42 chests Penang at public sale
all found buyers. Cloves are little required, and
prices tend downwards : of 66 chests Penang
offered at auction a part only sold. For Pimento
a good demand has been experienced, but in con-
sequence of the supply having been larger, a slight
decline in the value took place: at auction 680 bags were
all sold. Black Pepper is not to be obtained at any fur-
ther reduction in prices, but exporters and the home
trade operate with caution: at auction 757 bags of Telli-
cherry were sold. White sells more freely, and at auc-
tion 121 cases were disposed of at 7id to lid for fine
Tellicherry, being the full value. The supply is very
small of Cassia Lignea, and buyers are compelled to pay
further advanced rates. For Ginger there is only a
limited demand.

COCHINEAL.—This afternoon 219 bags Honduras at
public sale were all sold, the better kinds at full rates,
but ordinary went Id to 2d cheaper : low to fine silvers
sold at 4s to 4s 10d, good to fine black 5s 10d to 6s 21,
very ordinary ss. Of Guatemala Indigo, 18 serons
went at Is 3d to is 8d for very ordinary.
TaLLow.—ln the value of Russian on the spot, a
slight improvement has taken place, and a stronger
desire is shown on the part of the town and country
trade to operate. A good demand has prevailed, and
44s 3d to 45s are the rates paid for P. Y. Candle,
at which holders are firm. For delivery several
contracts have been entered into at 44s to 44s 3d
up to the end of the year, and at 45s to 45s 6d for spring
months. At auction 50 casks old went at 43s to 43s 3d.
Home made has been largely dealt in, but at 45s 6d to
46s nett cash there is a desire to sell, as the supply is
good. In the value of other kinds of Tallow there is
little variation to notice, but the demand is more active,
and the parcels offered at public sale were nearly all
sold.

Oils.—To-day Linseed Oil was less in demand, and a
ran in prices took place, sales on the spot being made at
23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt. At public sale 170 casks of
].'alai sold at 29s to 29s 6d per cwt.
