Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts on offer here
this morning was by no means so extensive as that ex-
hibited on Friday last, the Beef trade, owing to the pre-
vailing unfavourable weather for slaughtering, was in a
very dull state. However, the primest Scots, &c., mostly
found buyers at full prices; but the value of all other
breeds had a downward tendency, and a clearance was
not effected. There were in the market 278 Oxen and
Cows, 540 Sheep, and 113 Calves from Rolland and

Germany. With Sheep we were scantily supplied,
nevertheless the inquiry for that description of stock was
in a sluggish state, at barely Monday's quotations.
Calves were in short supply. Prime qualities of Veal
supported late rates ; but other kinds commanded very
little attention. Pigs moved off slowly, at previous cur-
rencies. Mitch Cows wi.re heavy, at from 151 to 181
each, including their small calf.

Our market still continues heavily supplied with both
old and new Hops. Really fine parcels of the latter are
taken in retail, at about last week's quotations; but all
other kinds are a mere drug, and in some instances the
quotations, which must be considered somewhat easier,
are almost nominal. Sussex pockets, 21 14s to 3135;

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice ERLE and a
Special Jury.)
GEORGE V. THE MARQUIS OP CONYNGRAM.
This was an action brought by a silk-mercer carrying
on business in Regent-street, to recover 1801. for goods
supplied to the Marchioness of Conyngham.
The sale and delivery of the goods were admitted.
Sir F. KELLY appeared for the defendant, and con-
tended that the Marquis was not liable for the debt,
inasmuch as at the time it was contracted the Mar-
chioness, who was the daughter of the Marquis of
Anglesea, had separated from the Marquis, and was
living apart upon an allowance of 2,4001. per annum.
Certain family disputes had induced the Marquis and
Marchioness to separate since 1841, and for some time
subsequent to that period the Marquis maintained a
house and servants at Richmond for the use of her Lady-
ship, and allowed her 25/. per month. Her Ladyship,
however, was always dissatisfied with this arrangement,
and in October, 1843, she left her establishment at
Richmond, and took up her abode at Mivart's
Hotel, when the Marquis consented to allow
her Ladyship the sum of 2,4001. per annum, and
the first quarter's payment of 600/. was paid in advance
to Messrs. Drummond, her Ladyship's bankers. Now
the first item of the account sought to be recovered by
this action was contracted three days subsequently to
the latter arrangement, and therefore all that the jury
had to decide was, whether the allowance was ample,
and had been regularly paid. The net income of the
Marquis, after deducting for incumbrances on his estate,
was only 12,0211. Out of that sum he paid her Lady-
ship 2,400/. a year, 1,0001. a year for a country house,
1,0001. a year to his mother, and 600/. a year to his
eldest son, an officer in the guards. The Marquis had
also to maintain another son and four daughters, and to
keep up an establishment becoming his rank and station
in society; and it was therefore quite evident that he
could not possibly make her Ladyship a larger allowance
than she already received.
Evidence having been adduced to substantiate this
statement,

Mr. Justice ERLE summed up, and
The jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict
for the defendant.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
This morning, on the jury assembling, it was an-
nounced that the Court must be adjourned, in conse •
quence of both the Learned Secondaries being so
seriously indisposed from the complaint so prevalent at
the present time that neither of them could attend.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY).
James Townsend, who possessed numerous aliases,
was charged with being concerned in robbing Mr. Gib-
bons, goldsmith and jeweller, of Hatton-garden, of a
number of gold watch-cases, gold and silver spoons and
ladles, and a large quantity of plate of all descriptions.
An associate of the prisoner, named Martin Beau-
mont, being aware that there was a large quantity of
gold and silver goods kept on the first floor, set himself
to watch, and one morning while the servant was sweep-
ing out the hall managed to get up stairs unperceived,
where he loaded himself with articles of great value, and
got clear off. Soon afterwards ho was traced to a Jew
dealers, where he offered the gold and silver in a broken
state, but not being able to agree as to price he went to
another dealer in gold and silver, when he said he
should detain the property until Beaumont showed
where he got it. Ho went away, and soon afterwards
returned with the prisoner, who represented himself as
Mr. Henderson, of Hatton garden, and said that
Beaumont was his servant, and had been sent by him to
dispose of the articles. This story seeming to be re-
ceived doubtfully they ran off, and it was not until last
night the prisoner was taken into custody.
The prisoner was remanded to next Tuesday.

WATERLOO-BRIDGE COMPANY.—The half yearly
general meeting of the shareholders in this company
was held yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor Ta-
vern, Strand, for the purpose of receiving the direc-
tors' report for the past half year, declaring a dividend,
and for the election of four directors in the room of
Alderman Thompson, M.P., F. Kenkins, Esq., W. An
derson, Esq., and Wm Woodyer, Esq. The secretary,
Mr. Powell, read the directors' report, which stated that
the tolls for the half year amounted to 7,3231. 6s. 10d. ;
for the corresponding period of last year they were
7,642/. 2s. 10d., showing a deficiency of 319/. 16s. This
deficiency was accounted for by the opening of Westmin-
ster-bridge for carriage traffic, it having been closed for
repairs during the last autumn. The report concluded by
stating that considerable progress was being made for
the extension of the South• Western Railway from
Vauxhall to Waterloo-bridge, from which source the
company look forward to a large increase of revenue.
The balance sheet of the company was as follows :
Receipts : Tolls, 7,3231. 6s. 10d. ; Rents and Interest,
646/. 6s. 6d. ; Stock, 7401. ss. lid. ; making a total of
8,709/. 19s. Bd. Expenditure : Salaries, Wages, &c.,
1,1971. 15s. lid. ; Income Tax, &c., 278/. 12s. 4d. ; In-
terest on Bonds, 1,2951. 16s. ; Dividend, 3s. 2d. in the
pound, 5,937/. 10s. ; making a total of 8,7091. 19s. 3d.
The report was adopted. The above four directors were
re-elected.

DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK.—RAMSGATE, DEC.
A very distressing case of shipwreck, accompanied, too,
with a most merciful deliverance of all the crew, save one
man (the captain), occurred on Friday night, on the
Goodwin Sands. The fine barque Penrith, Captain
Philip Lequesne, commander, bound from Rio Janeiro
to London, struck on the sands during the severe gale of
that night. Knowing. from their position that there was
no hope of safety if they remained in the vessel, the long
boat was immediately got: out, and the crew jumped
into her ; the captain remained till the last, and ran
back to the cabin for something he had forgotten, when,
10! the
rope that held tho boat broke, and, without oars or
sail, it was impossible to reach the vessel again ; and he,
consequently, with the ship and his faithful dog, which
would not leave him, perished. The boat drifted all
night, and on Saturday morning was descried by the
men on one of the lightships, who threw the crew a rope
and got them safe to land ; they were sent into Rams-
gate, fourteen in number, on Saturday. They all (with
the exception of one man, a Romanist) went to Christ
Church on Sunday evening, and publicly returned thanks
for their merciful deliverance. It was really a most in-
teresting and impressive sight, and the event was feel-
ingly alluded to by the Rev. Mr. Hoare in his sermon.
After the service a collection was made, and the money
laid out in clothes to enable them to go to sea again.—
