afterwards fixed at 2501. a year, but at the end of 1841
he was told that his services would be no longer re-
quired. lie then brought an action against the secretary
of the company, who was made the responsible officer
under the Act Air the above amount ; but Lord
benman, before whom it was tried, held that the secre-
tary was only responsible for what became due after the
passing of the Act, and his decision was subsequently
confirmed by the full Court. The plaintiff now brought
the present action.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Nisi Prins, before the LORD CHIEF BARON
and Common Juries.)
LEWIS V. BIMPSON(CLERK).

This was an action upon a bill of exchange, to recover
the sum of 1001. with interest.
The defence set up was, that the defendant had re-
ceived no consideration for the bill, and that it had been
obtained from him through fraud and covin.
It appeared that the defendant was a clergyman re-
siding at Clifton, near Bristol, and had wade application
to some advertising money lenders, to whom he inclosed
two acceptances, upon one of which the present action
gas brought.
Thu jury, after a short deliberation, stated that they
Celt reluctantly compelled to give the verdict for the
plaintiff.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 3.)

SUGAR.—To-day in consequence of Importers of \rust
India Sugar submitting to rather lower rates induced the
refiners to come into the market more freely, and a good
business was concluded, but grocers operated with cau-
tion in all sorts. The sales amounted to 700, making
the total quantity sold for the week 1,900 hhds and trcs.
The decline in prices during that time amounted to 6d,
and in some cases to is. per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods met with attention
from the home trade, and many parcels were sold, the
middling sorts meeting with most attention. The rates
obtained were 53s 6d for standard, and 52s to 53s for
brown grocery lumps. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull
of sale at 30s to 30s 6d for first sort.

3Lia.unrrfus.—This afternoon there was no public
sale, and all sorts were purchased with reluctance by
private treaty, although easier rates were taken.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 3,573 bags were submitted to public
competition. There was a desire on the part of mer-
chants to sell, and they submitted to a decline on former
rates of Is per cwt, but the whole sold. Madras is dull
of sale, and 2,51 bags at auction were taken in at 30s for
brown and yellow damp, being above the value.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon the biddings were languid
at a public sale of 1,759 baskets of Java Sugar, and a
part only sold at a reduction on former rates of 6d per
cwt.

MoLAssEs.—Although West India can be obtained at
further reduced rates, yet few purchases have been made,
and 15s to 18s is the value of common to fine quality.
The stock of East India Treacle is on the increase, and
there are few buyers, still 183 is asked for the last.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the public sales of Planta-
tion Ceylon, consisting of 36 casks and 638 bags went off
with heaviness, and a part only sold at a further reduc-
tion of 2s, making the fall for the week 3s to 4s—
middling colory went at 48s to 50s, low middling 46s to
475, fine fine ordinary 48s to 445, good middling
575, middling greyish Demerara kind, good make
465, pea berry 47s 6d, and damaged 30s to 32s 6d. 01
Costa Rica 42 bags went at 30s 6d, for good ordinary,
and at 26s to 29s 6d for damaged. Privately Native
Ceylon met with a slow sale. For auction 140 bales
]Socha, 1,500 bags Costa Rica, and 1,300 bags Planta-
tion Ceylon are declared.
COCOA.—This afternoon at public sale 37 bags
Grenada were sold at 43s 6d for fine bright red, 42s 6d
fur good, and at 40s to 41s for damaged.
TEA..—On the part of holders of Congou there is no
inclination shown to submit to any further reduction in
prices. The purchases made in all sorts have been to a
small extent, and there is a plentiful supply. The mar-
ket for Green is in a dull state, and there are sellers at
further reduced rates, yet buyers buy with reluctance,
and there is a large quantity on offer. The public sales
went off with heaviness, and of the quantity offered,
amounting to 16,700, the small portion of only 3,100
packages found buyers, and at a decline on former rates
of 2d to 3d for Gunpowder and Imperiol, ahc 2d per lb
for Hyson; but other kinds, however, went at above the
previous value.
RicE,—To-day there was no improvement in the de-
mand for Bengal Rice, and 3372 bags at auction were
all taken in at 13s 6d for good middling white rather
dusty, and cargo at lls 6d, but damaged white sold at
Os 6d to 12s 6d per cwt.. By private treaty the sales
made were trifling in all kinds, . _

SPlCES.—With—Pimento the market has been better
supplied this week, and buyers not showing much dispo-
sition to purchase, and prices suffered a depression
of id per lb. At auction 515 bags were, however,
nearly all sold. Black Pepper met with less at-
tention, and by private treaty the small parcels
disposed of were at prices in favour of buyers.
For Mace the market is in an inactive state, and prices
are drooping. There are further arrivals of Nutmegs,
and on the part of shippers or the home trade little
desire has shown to do business, prices are on the de-
' cline. For Ginger the market is in a quiet state, and
prices tend downwards, notwithstanding the falling off
in the supply, and the quantity to arrive being smalL
At public sale 41 casks, 128 brls Jamaica were only in
part sold. Cinnamon is dull of sale.
SPIRITB.—There is a firmness on the part of holders
of Jamaica Rum, and the rates insisted upon are upon a
par with those previonsly current, but the home and export
demand has fallen of. Only small parcels have been
sold. Demerara met with little attention. For Lee-
ward Island the market is in an inactive state, and the
tendency of prices is downward, is 8d to Is 9d having
been accepted for proof. East India is rather cheat er,
and the purchases made have been trifling at is 71d
proof with certificate. Fur Mauritius is 61 to Is 6.4 d
hare been accepted for proof. The stock of Rum
has been further increased, but all sorts are much
cheaper. The sales made in Brandy have been of little
moment by the shippers or the home trade, prices con-
tinue on the decline. Geneva is less in request, and
prices are on the decline. For British Corn Spirits the
market is firm at late rates, and the demand is active.
Gin fully maintains the former value.
CoGnistEaL.—A favourable opinion is entertained
towardes all descriptions, the rates obtained in some
cases show an advance on those previously current of
Id per lb.
FROlT.—Yesterday two large public sales were
brought forward, consisting of 75 butts, 100 crtls, 224
brls new Patras, part damaged, a great portion sold ; 63
butts, 45 crtls, 55 barrels new Cephalonia; 12 butts. 8
arils new Zante, all damaged, sold from 37s to 38s;
7,600 drums Turkey Figs from 40s to 61s, and a large
parcel of Imperial French Plums in various descriptions
of packages were all sold at very fair prices; by private
contract there has been an improved demand for all de-
scriptions of common Raisins.
Oxes.—lnconsequence of further reduced rates having
been submitted to fur Olive Oil, buyers have been tempted
to operate with more freedom, and a good business has
been done. There is little improvement in the worth of
Linseed. Rapeseed is held firmly. There is not much de-
mand for Cocoa Nut, and there are sellers of good and fine
at 58s to 635. Palm is offered npon further reduced
terms. For Fish Oils prices remain much the same as
those previously current, but there are further arrivals,
and on the part of the holders, there is a desire to sell,
as the stock generally is large. For public sales on the
10th 25 tuns of Sperm; 30 tons of Southern, and 70 tuns
of Seal are declared. Southern Oil has been sought after.
TALLOW.—This afternoon although the parcels of
Tallow offered at public sale were large, yet the demand
was good, and full rates were obtained. 222 pps 42
hhds 75 brls and 302 boxes S. American were sold-
-582 casks Taganrog 41s to 44s 9d, and 157 casks of
Petersburgh Soap Tallow mostly taken in at 42s 6d to
43s 6d.
