The Cour Royale of Paris has delivered a judgment,
which is important as it affects the responsibility of
agents-de-change. M. LesitS brought an action against
M. Vandermarcq, an agent-de-change, for the value of
twenty-nine shares in the Orleans railroad, which had
been stolen from him, and which had been negotiated on
the exchange by M. Vandermarcq, without his having
any knowledge of the vendor. The Tribunal Civil had
rejected the claim of M. Levi, but the Cour Royale has
established it, and decreed the restitution of the twenty-
nine shares, with all the interest and dividends accrued
upon them since the day they were stolen, or else to pay
to M. Levi a sum sufficient to purchase as many new
shares in the same railroadGalignani.
A CORN-DEALING .
EALING FARMER.—It iS a practice, in
the Bedford market, to an extent not generally suspected,
and if stated, would probably be doubted, of farmers
becoming purchasers of corn to enhance the price, and
make a profit on their purchases. An instance occurred
last Saturday in this town, of a farmer becoming a pur-
chaser of corn, at this particular crisis, which may be
worth recording. Mr. C. Higgins, sen., was at the
Swim Hotel, sheaving a sample of wheat, when Mr. Pain,
of Folmersham, havinc, had a few glasses of wine, his
optics magnified each kernel as large as a grain of Indian
corn, and the sample was so fine and plump that he con-
cluded a bargain of 675. 6d. per load for 130 loads. As
Mr. Pain seemed to be taken with a corn-buying pro-
pensity, he soon had plenty of offers with better samples
at 595. but he had found out his mistake; the fit was
over, and it was "no go." On the following Monday,
the price at Mark.lane fell from 6s. to Bs. per quarter.
Mr. Pain's purchase is therefore not worth so much by
80/, as he bargained for. Can there be any commisera-
tion for a large occupier coming into the market, and
becoming a purchaser with a sordid object, if he commit
an error of judgment? He had better have brought
his own produce into the market, and sold it at a market
price.—Bedfordshire Mercury.
ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Monday after-
noon, as one of the Chelsea steamers was proceeding up
the river with about 300 passengers on board, she ran
foul of the new steamboat-pier at Vauxhall-bridge so
violently that every one on board was thrown down and
the funnel dashed on deck, injuring several persons, and
not only causing the utmost confusion but great con-
sternation for the safety of the passengers, the paddle-
box and floats having been crushed in. With great pre-
sence of mind the commandos of the boat instantly
directed the engines to be reversed, and with the well-
timed assistance of the piermen succeeded in fastening
the boat to the dummy, and enabling the passengers to
escape by the pier. They were shortly after conveyed
to their respective destinations by another boat, which
arrived within a few minutes of the accident, The
damage done to the boat will, it is expected, amount to
between 50/. and 601.

'stens Er HoLtowara Pru,s.—Persons whose stomachs have been
