STATE OF THE CORN MARKET

IN FRANCE.
The proceedings of the past wwek show a decided itn-,
provernent in the general aspect of affairs. In no part of
France have we to report as advance in prices—in seve-
ral districts a slight tall has taken place—and, in the g
ee°
nerality of markets, matters are calm, and giving P"
raise of lower quotations. The fineness of the weather
throughout the kingdom giving promise of an abundant
harvest, has had an effect on priees ; apeettlaters
longer engage in affairs of importance ; a hand'te",
mouth kind of business at present prevails, the ow/
object in view being to get through the ten or twelve
weeks that must elapse before the new grain cep
in the markets. In all the markets of the interi„or
buyers now purchase as little as possible ; and the se.ll:
vity which a couple of months ago was perceptible in toe
inland markets is now removed exclusively to the eel;
ports, and particularly to Marseilles and Havre. At ,_...b°to
these ports, particularly the latter, purchases have u'e t
made during the week for England. Prices are at present,
higher in London that at Havre. Wheat at the the
place is from 44f. to 50f. the hectolitre, whilst at A
latter it is only 40f. to 42f. American flour is also Aw'
at London at 65f. to 67f. the barrel, whilst at Sayre
it is only 55f. to 57f. This difference is en gnat
as to cause fears to be entertained of it'll 1-130 t
ducing an effect on prices in France' till
supposing a temporary advance was thereby aused, still
the position of France is superior to that of other ems,
tions. Not only are supplies expected to
other with regularity, but the harvest will be, in at
usual course of things, a fortnight or three weer%
least earlier than in England, Belgium, or HolltnZiend
therefore, no demand were to arise from ttf
tending to advance prices, it might be considered Pre in
certain that corn and flour would go no higher

France before the new harvest, and that the_leultisi
until then is assured. Looking at the generSkets
of affairs during the week, we find in all the n'arge,

BRISTOL COUNTY C
IMPORTANT DECISION UNDER TII

DEIII S ACT.
(From the Bristol Mercury.)
On Thursday last a case was tried in 136°1
Court, which deserves the serious attention of all trades'
men, as showing to a greater extent than we blfsbe4
is known, the great advantages of the newly•esta
courts. aA_ due te
An action was brought to recover 171 s 'iota
a bout maker's bill, and it was objected by the y, were
rte. the defendant that, inasmuch as more than , the
due from the defendant to the plaintiff for r hse per
plaintiff could not divide his cause of action for t
pose of bringing two or more suits in this courts not
that, if he brought one action, which must all of 511
exceeding 201., that such action must be in
the
rsaer
dem.inds. FAO'
His Honour the judge (Arthur Palmer, j
however, ruled that the objection could delivery of
erY 4
tamed ; for that, as every order for, and deleLose.
goods formed a separate cause of action, s trades'
0
man might divide his demand iuto as many PaeatlYr
there were causes of action ; and, coral.. op,
if a customer owed a tradesman 100/, or any lareg4er of
manor
.0
for twenty or any other number of orders, "
which exceeded 201., he might bring fig Rae/Ars°
this Court as there were separate orders, _
cause of action, each under 201, however lare,th_e„,6sl
gregate might be. His Honour then referred to_til_'", we
unier,..ll
sus.
George 111., c. 25, s. 89, whereby it is providedusto; be
cause of action shall be split or divided, so
while by the 9th and 10th Victoria it is enacted. Itt:a.e
made the ground of two or more different licit°2l,.flii
shall not be lawful for any plaintiff to divid.w:sit
cause of action, for the purpose of bringing .01ge
more suits—which two enactments appeared to tne
re,u.
to be in effect the same. The first was passed to tro
late the civil bill jurisdiction in Ireland, and under,,,,,,.
Act it has been held in the case " Hamblin v.
an appeal before Bush, C.J., at the Dundalk Itinnl„e,
assize of 1833, that where two gales of rent were 1,-t,
which, taken together, amounted to a sum
ceeding
ceeding the jurisdiction, but taken separstl
were within the jurisdiction, that the plaintiff
split the two gales of rent, and bring one actia
for one and another action for the other ; that it
„o.l'
also been held by M'Cleland, Baron, at the 00=0
spring w,sizes, that where two processes had, e
brought, even at the same sessions, each for 7/, tmetilet
for a halt-year's rent, due May, and the other for etweni,
half-year's rent, due out of the same holding, st_,l4°,:e in
ber following, the plaintiff was entitled to al' boas
each case, and the Learned Baron affirmed sires,
on appeal ; so, at the Lifford summerAgs !eel
Pennefather, Baron, decided that where after
B a sum of money, and about four nionli!a each
lent him another sum of money, A might sue WI. dote
sum in separate action, even atter both the sums vigl,' 00
Thus, said his Honour, it is quite clear thatt,.„,,otius'
case, the plainiff is entitled to split his bill or orate
although amounting to up.vards of 601, into s:rirete
causes of action, not exceeding 201, and bring affeeout
actions in this Court for each part. But 1'15,1001

`tor in England the same principle had been elle Pig
