MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE--MONDAY.
During last week, the receipts of English Wheat, Barley,
Beans, and Flour, were slightly on the increase; but those
of all other articles of home produce were small. From
Scotland no Gra;n came to hand ; while from Ireland, only one
small cargo of Oats was received. The imports of Foreign
Wheat, Barley, Oats, an I Linseed, were seasonably good.
Those of Flour large, viz., upwards of 20,000 barrels. Fresh
up from Kent, an unusually large supply of English Wheat
reached us by water carriage; indeed, we may observe it was
the most extensive we have had occasion to report
during the last two years. From Essex, Cambridge-
shire, &c., the receipts were but moderate. The
stands being somewhat heavily filled with samples,
the country markets coming lower, and the prospect of fu-
ture importations somewhat improved, the demand for all
descriptions of Wheat of home produce, notwithstanding the
attendance of buyers was good, ruled very heavy, at a de-
cline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from 4s. to
ss. per quarter, and a large quantity remained unsold at the
close of the market. Although the actual quantity of foreign
Wheat on offer was by no means large, that article was a
mere drug, and is. to 2s. per quarter lower.
Holders, however, were by no means anxious sellers,
hence the above abatement was not generally submitted to.
The quantity of Barley brought forward was not to say
large. Selected parcels were in moderate request at last
week's prices, but all other kinds hung on hand, though they
were not cheaper. With Malt we were rather scantily sup-
plied. The brewers purchased with considerable caution,
and, notwithstanding the actual business doing was small,
the rates of this day se'nnight were mostly supported.
There were comparatively few Oats on sale; nevertheless, the
demand for that article was heavy, at an abatement of from
is to 2s per quarter. In Beans next to nothing was doing,
and the rates receded is to 2s per quarter. The sale for
Peas was dull, at a decline in value of from Is to 2s per
quarter. Flour, both in barrells and sacks, commanded very
little attention, and prices were somewhat easier.

During last week the imports of live stock from abroad
were composed of 75 cows, and 416 sheep from Nieu Diepe,
together with 6 oxen, 11 cows, and 18 sheep, from Nords-
dycke, nearly the whole of which have passed into the hands
of the butchers by private sale. At the outports, about 100
beasts and 300 sheep have been landed in good condition.
To-day we had on offer only about •10 beasts and 90 sheep
from abroad, whilst the demand for them was in a very de-
pressed state, and the quotations had a downward tendency.
The numbers of home-fed beasts on sale this morning was
seasonably good, and of full average quality. Prime Scots;
Herefords, runts, &c., moved off steadily at full prices, but
all other breeds were a very dull sale, at barely last week's
quotations. From the northern counties we received 800
short-horns ; from the eastern counties 900 Scots, home-
breds, and short-horns; from the western and midland coun-
ties 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from other parts
of England 750 of various breeds. The supply of sheep was
lese than last week, yet the Mutton trade, owing to the
heavy arrivals up to Newgate and Leadenhall Markets, was
extremely inactive, at barely late currencies. In calves ex-
ceedingly little was doing, and prices had a downward ten-
dency. The pork trade was dull, but we can notice no al-
teration in• value.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) .
The Lord Chancellor heard appeal motions to• day, it being
the last day of Hilary Term.

MAINES V. TAYLOR.

The Court was occupied the whole morning with the argu-
ments in this case, which came before his Lordship upon an
appeal motion from the decision of the caster of the Rolls re-
fusing to grant an injunction applied for by the plaintiff.
The plaintiff, it appeared, had a house near Kensal-green,
and the defendants were erecting near it works for the
manufacture of illuminating gas, which were to be brought
into operation in March next. The plaintiff, fearing that
the works would be productive of great injury to his pro-
perty, filed his Bill, and applied to his Lordship the Master
of the Rolls for an injunction to restrain the defendants from
proceeding with their works. The Master of the Rolls re-
fused to grant an injunction to restrain prospective damage,
and from that judgment the present appeal was brought.
(The case had not concluded when our Evening Edition
went to press.)

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THUGWELL V. lIOOVZIt.

This a motion for the production of certain correspondence
which had passed between a joint solicitor and trustee. It
appeared that a solicitor, Mr. Goldney, was acting profes-
sionally for a gentleman named Treyme, between whose
daughter and the defendant in the above cause a marriage
took place in 1841, and Mr. Goldney agreed to act as
trustee for Mr. Hooper and his wile. A dispute having
arisen, in reference to a settlement between the parties, Mr.
Goldney discontinued to act, and a correspondence took place
between him and Mr. Hooper, for which, as well as for let-
ters which had passed prior to the marriage of 1841, the
present motion was made. These letters were supposed to
have reference to the above suit, in which a cross bill has
been filed.

Mr. Kindersley and another Learned Gentleman ap-
peared for the motion, and Mr. Turner and Mr. Hardy ap-
peared for Mr. Goldney.
His LORDSHIP considered that Mr. Goldney could not
divest himself of the trusteeship, and under the circum-
stances that it could not be maii.tained that he was acting
merely as solicitor to Mr. Hooper, and that he was not en-
titled to the protection of the Court, therefore that the
letters in question should be produced:

The arguments in this part-heard motion were resumed
to. day. Our readers will recollect that the case came before
the Court last week upon a motion on behalf of the Hunger-
ford Market Company, for an injunction to restrain the de-
fendants, the Charing-cross Bridge Company, from hindering
passengers to the steam-boats from crossing their bridge to
the float erected by the plaintiffs, on the south side of the
bridge, for the purpose of the embarkation and disembarka-
tion of passengers from steam- boats.
On the last day the case was on, Mr. Bethell was heard on
behalf of the plaintiffs, the Hungerford Company, when the
case was ordered to stand over till to-day.
Mr. GWFARD was probeeding to address the Court on the
same side this morning, when
The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked whether the question must
not be tried at law?
Mr. GIFFARD said that he should submit at all events that
his clients were entitled to the injunction.
The VICE CHANCELLOR—Does it appear from your
davits, Mr. Giffard, when these tell tales were first put up
in the mode and form they now appear?
Mr. GIFFARD—Yes, Sir, it does; they were (affixed long
ago, when the bridge was first opened to the public, in May,
1845, but the float was not erected till lately, and therefore
we could not take proceedings. The Learned Counsel then
proceeded to address the Court, following Mr. Bethell, con-
tending that according to the provisions of the lease, that the
Market Company were entitled to have free egress and ingress
from and to the float across the bridge for all steam-boat
passengers, and that such right having been denied by the
Bridge Company, the Court was bound to grant the injunc-
tion asked for by the plaintiffs.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Do your clients, Mr. Rolt, admit
that the rights claimed by the injunction for the plaintiffs are
clear ?

Mr. BOLT—Certainly not, sir.
The VICE•CHANCItLLOR--Now it strikes me that it is not
the duty of the Court to interpret legal rights. If there had
been a ite: ge, that would have been prima facie evi-
dence or the u.Age, but that ii not the e.a,o here. I really
think that no injunction should be granted at present. The
Hangerfotcl Market Company may be at liberty to bring

An unusually large arrival of Slaughtered Meat has taken
place for our markets during the past week; they having
amounted to 8,000 carcasses from Scotland, and 9,000 ditto
from various part of England. About 600 of the latter have
been received from Cumberland per railway. These immense
receipts have had a most depressing influence upon the trade,
and the quotations have receded 2d per 81bs without effecting
clearances. The supplies on offer killed in the metropolis
have been seasonably good, and of excellent quality; but we
have had very little foreign meat on show.

BOROUGH AND SPITA.LFIELDS.

About 200 tons of potatoes have arrived in the Pool from
France since this day se'nnight. The vessels bringing the
above supplies had sailed previously to the shipments of
potatoes being prohibited by the French Government ; but
we can expect no more from the other side of the Channel
for many months. Coastwise the receipts have been small,
vet the demand is firm at the late advance in the quotations.

The imports of Wool during the week have not exceeded
300 bags and bales, chiefly from Spain. There is rather
more business doing in English and the best qualities of
Colonial Wools at full prices, but foreign parcels command
very little attention.
