EOROUGH HOP MARKET.
We have to notice a better feeling in the demand for
the best East Kent flops of the present year's growth,
at an advance in the quotations of 2s per cwt. In other
kinds, with which the market is well supplied, rather an
improved amount of business is doing, and prices are
fairly supported. Sussex Pockets, 21 16s to 316 s ;
Weald of Kent ditto, 31 to 31 10s ; Mid and East Kent
ditto, 31 6s to 51 12s per cwt.

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
ROSE V. RUSSELL.
The plaintiff in this action resides in the Wands-
worth-road. The defendant is a musician in Jullien's
band. The action was brought to recover the sum of
31. 53. for lodgings for defendant's wife. The de-
fendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
Mr. ROBINSON, for the plaintiff, said the claim was
for five months lodging of Mrs. Russell and her son.
Mrs. Russell having been obliged to separate from
her husband in consequence of the ill treatment she
received, and her husband being living with another
woman. He would show that Mrs. Russell had been
reduced to a state of the greatest distress, and that
defendant was liable at least up to a certain time,
when the magistrate made an order on defendant to
allow Mrs. Russell six shillings a week. The claim
had been reduced to 3/. 55., plaintiff's wife having
given Mrs. Russell work, part of which was paid for
liberally, and the other Mrs. Russell let run off the
rent.

Matilda Rayment was called, and proved she was
servant to the plaintiff. Mrs. Russell lived then with
her son. She was in a state of starvation during a
great part of the time. Mr. Russell did not visit,
and only called once to inquire for his son.
Cross-examined—She was not in the habit of being
visited by men—a Mr. Webb called now and then as
a friend.
The. Learned SECONDARY said, ifit was intended to
be proved she was living in adultery, such evidence
would be good as a bar to the demand, but if it could
not be proved, such question had better not be put.
The cross-examination was then discontinued.
Mrs. Armitage. a sister of the plaintiff, was called,
and proved that Mrs. Russell was in a very dis-
tressed state. She never saw any impropriety in her
behaviour, in drinking or otherwise.
Mr. John Robert Webb was called. He had
known defendant from childhood. Defendant and his
wife had been married about fourteen years. De-
fendant treated his wife with brutality, and in conse-
quence of his striking her, witness discontinued
visiting the house for two years before the separation.
He was formerly a suitor to defendant's sister, and
was a very frequent visitor at the house.
Cross-examined—He visited Mrs. Russell—per-
haps twice a week. She was not in the habit of
drinking, nor did he ever see her drunk. He was
not in the habit of smoking, or drinking with her.
On one occasion only he smoked his own pipe, and
sent out for a glass of ale—that was on one occa-
sion when Mrs. Russell had called on him to request
him to attend as a witness before the magistrates to
state the facts, in order to get an order for mainte-
nance, which he did.
By Mr. RORINSON-I solemnly swear that there
is not the slightest ground for imputing improper
conduct between me and Mrs. Russell.
The defendant's attorney said that under the cir-
cumstances he should not carry the case further.
The Learned SECONDARY said the defendant was
legally liable during the time he made no allowance
to his wife.
The jury accordingly found for the amount
claimed.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
We are requested by Mr. Ilammill, the sitting
Magistrate, to acknowledge the receipt of 51. for-
warded to him from the Earl of C--, and who in
the letter in which the money was enclosed, expressed
a hope that others might be induced to "go and do
likewise." 51. has also been sent by " M.A.P.," and
two soversigns from "M.F." Each donation was
sent towards the funds of the poor-box.

BRADSHAW'S RAILWAY ALMANACK, DI-
RECTORY, and SHAREHOLDERS' GUIDE
and MANUAL for 1848.
This useful publication, in addition to the usual
contents of an Almanack, gives us lists of the directors,
engineers, secretaries, and principal officers of all the
railways in the United Kingdom, and is illustrated by a
large Map of Great Britain, with all the lines of rail-
way laid down, including both those in operation and
those for which Acts have been obtained to the pre-
sent time. It also contains a correct account of the
amalgamations and leases of lines, with the rent and
tolls of the same, of the guaranteed stock, and of the
dividend or interest payable on each line of railway—so
that parties desirous of investing their capital in rail-
way shares will here find every information that
they can require to direct them in their purchases.
But it is not to the shareholder alone that "Bradshaw's
Railway Almanack" will be found useful; the railway
traveller will find in the Travellers' Directory a full
account of the best made of conveyance by road, rail,
and sea, between the metropolis and the principal
towns throughout England and Wales, together with
their distance from London, the nearest station by
railway, and cost of transit. In fact, all information
that either shareholders or travellers can require will
be found in " Bradshaw's Railway Almanack."

TER'S ROYAL RED BOOK, or, Cour

and Fashionable Register for 1848.
This edition of the " Red Book " has been care-
fully corrected up to the date of publication, and con-
tams a greater amount of information than any other
work of a similar kind which has yet appeared. The
publishers have amalgamated the Law Courts with
the other portions of the book, which greatly facili-
tates a reference to its contents. There is also, for
the first time, added a toraplete list of the Baronets of
the United Kingdom, with the dates of their creation,
and also a list of various new streets, which have be-
come inhabited since the commencement of 1847.
This is the most complete edition of the " Red Book"
that has yet appeared.

spared no pains. He says—...
This table has been compiled with the most
scrupulous exactness, and nothing has been stated
which the experience of many seasons does not war-
rant. The following testimony of Mr. W. H. Weeks,
the eminent meteorologist, of Sandwich, adds to the
confidence with which this work is offered to the pub-
lic. He writes thus :—' All the leisure I could com-
mand since I received your paper has been devoted to
the subject. I have gone over my own journals for
twenty-seven years, in addition to many others, and I
have now no hesitation in saying I believe your table
to come as near the truth as anything of the kind is,
in the present state of our knowledge, likely to ap-

The Collegiate, or Cathedral Church at Manchester,
although of the latest period of Gothic architecture, has
many beautiful parts, in spite of the perishable nature
of the stone used in its erection, and the restorations to
which it has been subjected, at less favourable periods
than the present. Internally, there are some remark-
ably fine roofs, and much old stallwork, and other wood-
work in various parts of the building. The restorations
seem to be on a very extensive scale, and include not
only polychromatic decoration, but a fresh arrangement
of the pulpit and fittings, rendering the building snore
in accordance with its new purpose.—Builder.

An unusually small supply of Beasts MIS on sale in
our market this morning, while its general quality was
very inferior. The few prime Scots, &c., effering, found
buyers, at from 4s 8d to 5s per Blbs, but all other breeus
were heavy,; at barely late rates. The show of foreign
stock consisted of 112 Beasts, 260 Sheep, and 22 Calves,
in very middling condition. With Sheep we were
scantily supplied. Prime old Downs sold at Monday's
currencies. Otherwise, the Mutton trade was in a slug-
gish state. In Calves, only a limited business was doing;
yet prices were mostly supported. The Pork trade was
heavy, at unaltered figures. Mulch Cows were a mere
drug, at from 141 to 171 lOs each, including their small
Calf.
