The business transacted in the Stock Market continues
very limited, there being but little disposition among the
brokers to speculate in either the English or Foreign
Securities.

Both Markets are rather flatter since the opening,
which is chiefly attributed to the unsettled state of the
weather. Consols are now 891 for Money, and 894 for
the Account ; Bank Stock 169 ; India Stock 247 ; Ex-

QUARTER TO THREE.

The advices from Vienna, via Holland, allude, it is
gratifying to observe, to the existence of a much more
tranquil feeling in the money market, and it is positively
stated that the head of the firm of Guy Muller has not
withdrawn from the capital. It is noted as a singular
circumstance, that, although the prospects for the har-
vest in Austria are represented to be very favourable,
there corn ruled high in all the principal markets. In
Holland money seems much cheaper than with us.

EXPRESS FROM PART

FRAN CE.
. The Moniteur of Wednesday (yesterday)! contains no
intelligence from Toulouse, but the Moniteur Parisien of
Tuesday evening asserts that the members of the former
municipality had been arrested, and would be tried by
the Court of Correctional Police, on account of their pro-
test against the Royal ordinanee of the 24th ult., in virtue
of the law of 1831 which punishes the offence imputed
to these functionaries by an imprisonment of from one to
two years, and the deprivation of civil rights during five
years.
The National announces that numerous arrests had
been made amongst the military composing the garrison
of Paris, for which no cause had been assigned.
In Grenoble, on the 28th ult., a detachment of 700 re-
cruits traversed the streets, singing the Marseillaise
hymn, and preceded by a large tri-coloured flag, sur-
mounted by a Phrygian red cap, and bearing these words,
" Vire la liberte et la reforme electorale."
According to returns published by the Minister of
Commerce, the quantity of wheat imported into
,Franco
during the first six months of 1841, amounted to up"
wards of 88,000 metrical quintals, and the quantity
stored in the entrepots, on the first of July last, Was
120,000, besides 24,280 metrical quintals of other grin,
and 28,000 of flour.
We regret to observe that a great deal of rain fell in
Paris on Tuesday and Wednesday. The tempersture'
however,thad considerably increased.

Petitions to-day, none of which were of any interest, ex-

SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

MARSHALL V. CUMMINS.
This was an action to recover the sum of 3/. ss. for
use and occupation of part of the plaintiff's house, situate
Clifton-street, Finsbury.
The defendant took part of the house of the plaintiff
at the yearly rent of 13/., and the present action was to
recover the amount of one quarter in arrear.
On 'the part of the defendant it was stated that the
Plaintiff had been threatened by his landlord with a dis-
trcsg, and the defendant was requested by the wife of
the 1 • 'ff
p aintl to remove his goods in the early part
.s°' the quarter, and a removal immediately took
• place. 'Witnesses were called, but they failed to prove
this, And the Learned Under-Sheriff directed the Jury to
find a verdict for the plaintiff fbr the whole amount
claimed. •

SALISBURY v. 'WALKER.
This was an action to recover the sum of 151. 3s. 9d.
for goods sold and delivered.
The defendant pleaded, first, that he was not in-
debted ; and, secondly, a set off.
Mr. Thomas conducted the case for the plaintiff, and
Mr.
Payne appeared for the defence.
The plaintiff is a jeweller in Tottenham-court-road,
and also a licensed victualler ; and the defendant is a
Jirery-stable keeper, residing in the same place.
The present action was brought on account of several
!alleles, consisting of brandy, wine, and spruce-beer,
flaying been supplied to the defendant by the plaintiff ;
and also for the amount of a gold chain and sundry re-
Pairs done to jewellery for the defendant ; one item in
the account was for painting and lettering a gate of
the defendant's, which it was alleged was performed
at the instance of the plaintiff for the defendant,
and for which 3/. 10s. was charged in the
Particulars. To prove this item a witness was called,
Who said he saw a man, who was called "Joe," painting
lha gate, and that he (Joe) had been working on the
Pretises of the plaintiff.
This being the case for the plaintiff, witnesses were
called on the part of the defence, to prove the set-off.
The principal part of the set-off was for money lent,
but as the parties at the time were on very intimate terms,
bo'aeknowledgements were taken. There were various
sums of 11. and 21., but the only proof was that on one
._i3eeasion a witness heard the plaintiff ask the defendant
fend him some money, and he (the witness) saw the
deendant put his hand in his pocket and give some-
thing to the plaintiff. The other amounts of
the defendant to the plaintiff. There was an article
!I_3itrged in the particulars of the plaintiff for the mount-
-4n with silver a riding whip. To this the defendant
stated that the whip in question was a gift from
the plaintiff. to the defendant, and a witness
:vas' Put forward to prove that the plaintiff had applied
*(11 him (the witness) to lend him (the plaintiff) the mould
of a horse's hoof, to take a pattern for the mounting of
ir'hip which he intended to make a present of to thede-
,codant. A bill was also put in from the plaintiff to the
defendant, in which there was no charge for the whips
although the whip had been delivered some time pre-
'lions to the bill being deliverd.
Mr. THOMAS having addressed the Jury on the evidence
Adduced in support of the set-off, called witnesses in op-
Position to the proof tendered for its support.
The Learned UNDER-SnEnus then summed up the
evidence and the Jury found for the plaintiff, damages
11/. ss. 9d.

ALLDRADE V. BEPLON.
',This was an action to recover the sum of 41.75. 6d.
-`lllg a balance of rent due to the plaintiff.
4 It was attempted in this case to prove that the defen-
dant was not the tenant, but that a female, with
he cohibited, but who passed for his
wife,"l
had taken the house ; but no proof was shown that
811 ch was the case, and the Learned Under-Sheriff di-
-1
he
the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, as in an
ndefended action.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN FLEET-STREET.—
This a little after six o'clock, Robert Her-
Cy, a labouring man, in the employ of Mr. Ward, of
Iter-lane, Blackfriars, bricklayer, while at work in
clearing away the ruins of the house in Fleet-street that
heavy
down some weeks since, was supporting himself on a
ueavy beam of timber, when its hold in some brick-work
gave way, and he was precipitated from a height of between
t
.7enty-five and thirty feet, into a heap of brick-rubbish,
'lle beam, which was sixteen feet long and eight inches
,B!leare, fulling on his head. On being raised up he was
found to be insensible, and bleeding profusely from a
;frightful laceration of the scalp, and on being conveyed
St. Bartholomew's Hospital, his skull was found to be
sO. extensively fractured, that but slight hope is enter-
dned °this surviving. The unfortunate man is 47 years
age, and has a wife, but no family.
STOCKS OF OLD GRAIN.—So far as these
Tan be ascertained, they turn out to be exceedingly
light ; there being at the present time only 28,000
quarters of free wheat in Liverpool ; whilst at Wake-
V,. the depot from which a large part of the West
I :dling of Yorkshire and of South Lancashire are sup-
tLeu, there are only 6,800 quarters, and in Leeds only
131°. In all parts of the country, too, the stocks are
Ledevedto be on an equally insignificant scale ; and it
7_•,nmes tolerably clear, that a supply of foreign grain
111 be required to eke out the consumption until har-
vest. That supply is not likely to be obtained
until
the averages rise to 735. per quarter ; and,
th_,erefore the labouring poor of this neighbourhood,
whose earnings have been so fearfully diminished by
unfavourable state of trade, will have to incur the
additional evil of paying a famine price for their bread.
--Manchester Paper.
We are sorry to state that the numbers of
unemployed operatives are still on the increase. The
tember of cases relieved by the Committee on Wed-
ineVY last amounted to 702. These represent 2,106
Cviduale ; about seventy of them are employed at
e quarry breaking metal. The money distributed

Wednesday last amounted to 42/. 17s. 3d., and this
not include those persons employed at the quarry ;
a greater sum will be required to-day. A number of
nee' -applications for relief have been given in to-day,
consequent on the heavy failures which have lately taken
Place. The Magistrates and the relief Committee are
exerting themselves to the utmost to procure funds to
Meet this heavy expenditure, aided as they are by a
!lumber of benevolent individuals in the town and neigh-
pourhood.—Renfrewshire paper.
On Saturday last a very interesting and edi-
heng scene presented itself in the Episcopal Church
, re, when there were present an American bishop,
I.li'e clergymen of English ordination, and two of
ocotelt ordination, all of whom took part in the ser-
vices of the day. This coincidence is worthy of being
recorded, not only from its being quite accidental,
but also from the well-known fact, that the Episco-
pal Church of the American States derived her episco-
pacy partly through English, and partly through Scot-
tish ordination. The perfect harmony in which all these
met together on common ground, "in unity of spirit,
and in the bond of peace," was pleasing and impressive
in no ordinary degree. The American Prelate, we un-
derstand, was the Bishop of Virginia, and one of the
English clergymen the Rev. Mr. Stowell, of Manchester.
.---Inverness Journal.
STATE OF TRADE.—Some excitement was
created in this town on Monday morning, by the an-
nouncement of the failure of the long-established and
well-known house of Messrs. Samuel Stocks and Son,
manufacturers and merchants, of Heaton Mersey and of
this town, against whom, we believe, a fiat of bankruptcy
has been issued. Messrs. Stocks and Son were, a few
tears ago cotton-spinners as well as manufacturers ;
lit their spinning mill having been destroyed by fire,
y e
th -
had ceased to spin, and purchased yarn for the sup-
ply of their looms. They were also extensive purchasers
of manufactured goodsfor export. We understand that
the amount of their engagements is something under
80,000/. The necessary effect of this failure was to
throw a very serious damp upon the market yesterday ;
and the effect was increased by the unpromising appear-
12,ence of the weather, which, after two tolerably fine
days, showed manifest symptoms of deterioration. Under
these circumstances, it was not surprising that the market
Should be, as in fact it was, one of the worst, if not the
v
• ery Worst, of the present year. For manufactured
.indeed, there was literally no demand ; and the
f-,0
2w-sales made were at a serious reduction of prices.
r yarn, the market wits not quite so unfavourable ;
a_11:1 some business was done, though with difficulty, and
1, gradually declining rates. We are glad to state, how-
ever, that, with the exception of two small concerns at
l3lackburn, no additional failures were announced ; and
mischievous rumour of that nature, which was circu-
lated through the town in the morning, was ascertained
to be. entirely unfounded.—lllanchester Guardian.
DEATH OF LADY PRIDEAUX.—We have re-
ceived the melancholy intelligence of the death of Lady
Inrideaux, who expired at Netherton, this (Tuesday)
lerning at six o'clock. This lady, who was the daughter
• of the late 13,ev. James Bernard, of Combe Flory, So-
merset, was married to the Hon. Baronet on the 29th of
April last, so that scarcely three months have elapsed
between her nuptials and her death.— Western Luminary.
We experienced a shock of earthquake at Cricff
en Thursday afternoOn last, at half-past two o'clock,
. which could only b,r rivalled by that which happened in
the latter end of 1839. In Cowrie, same .day, it is said
about eleven shocks took place, and the people were in
great consternation.—Seettish Guardian.
PARLIAMENT.—The late Session of Parlia-
ment was of the shortest duration of any that has oc-
.. curr .1(1 fur many years. During the last two weeks up-
wards
of fifty compositors have been discharged from

LITERATURE.
SPORTIIVG REVIEW.

This Number contains two Plates—one, a por-
trait of Ghuznee, the winner of the Oaks; and
the other, a view of Cowes Harbour—the well-
known place of rendezvous of the Yacht Club,
during the autumnal season. This last forms a
very cheerful, animated picture, and is engraved
with passable ability. The literary department
is, of course, almost exclusively restricted to
sporting matters.

SPORTSMAN,
The Sportsman is cleverly embellished this
month with an engraving entitled " Starting for
the Moors," which exhibits a very picturesque
back-ground of moor and mountain. Among the
literary articles we may single out for praise
some intelligent observations on the Turf, by a
writer who signs himself "A Looker-On ;" and
an account of sporting " Wanderings by the-
Lakes and Rivers of Ireland."

SMALLWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
This periodical improves in interest, the anti
Iles in the numbers before us being as lively,
various, and well chosen as could be desired.
The most entertaining is an account of Russia in
the years 1835, 1830, which seems to be drawn up
by one who has been a resident in that country,
and is familiar with the manners and institutions
of the inhabitants.

CRUIKSHANK'S OMNIBUS.
The third Number of this smart and humorous
Miscellany has just made its appearance, illus-
trated by several capital plates, one or two of
which are as ingenious and fantastic as any that
the artist (Cruikshank) ever executed, even in
his earlier days. The " Discovery of Van De-
mons' Land" is of this description, and represents
a crew of grinning imps, making every effort to
oppose the progress of the Flying Dutchman,
