proceeded to cross-examine the witness. 'Plaintiff is an
East India went. Witness had been secretary to tho
company, was now defun.t. It certainly was not
a " bubble," but there was no railroad. The offices of
the company had been at No. 62, Moorgate-street. De-'
fendant said he had sold the shares, and the inference
was that he had received the money; he distinctly said
that he would make cut the account. Witness was not
acquainted with the practice of the iitare market as to
the sale of shares, or what commission was paid. Wit-
ness had bought and sold shares, and had paid 6d. on
each share. Never knew that as much as Is. 3d. per
share was charged, but the commission varied according
to the value of the shares.

The defendant's attorney then proceeded to address
the jury, and put in a memorandum, to the cifcct that the
plaintiff had made a deposit of the shares as a security
for 1001. advanced, and if the amount was not repaid
within 14 days, the defendant was to be at liberty to sell
the same and apply the proceeds to liquidating his claim.
An objection was taken that it was an agreement re-
quiring a stamp, and it was therefore rejected as evidence.
The defendant's attorney then contended that there
was no evidence as to what the shares were, or how
much they had really fetched, and that the payment of
the 121. was a settlement of the account. _

A Mr. Bedford was called to show that the shares did
not fetch more than a. 12s. or 1L 12s. 6d., but he could
only speak to the best of his recollection.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said, if the first wit-
ness was to be depended on—and he saw no reason to
doubt his evidence—the case was made out of a promise
to pay some balance after the payment of the 121. As
to the amount, it should be remarked, that in charging
the prices at 345. and 345. 6d., as the witness could not
remember which lot was sold at the larger sum, the
plaintiff charged it on the smallest lot.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTZMOUTII, Nov. 25.—The Count Kornitoff, Cap-
tain in the Russian navy, has since Sunday last been
sojourning in the hospitable mansion of Admiral Sir
Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, who has been
unremitting in his attentions. The Gallant Captain has
had all the Government establishments exhibited to him,
has visited the Excellent, and yesterday went out in the
Avenger, a distinguished party of scientific officers ac-
companying him. Flag-Lieutenant Robertson, of the
St. Vincent (who is selected by Sir Charles Ogle to do
duty as his Flag-Lieutenant during the illness of Lieute-
nant Collier, who, we regret to say, met with an accident
whilst riding), has been in attendance upon the Count
during his visit.

The Retribution steam-frigate, in charge of Lieutenant
Crozier, of the royal yacht, and a party of men from the
flag-ship, has been taken out to-day on a similar trial as
the Avenger yesterday.
The Rattlesnake, surveying ship, Captain Owen Stan-
ley, bent sails this morning, and will go out to Spithead
on Monday.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The barque Emma, of Ply-
mouth, Captain Spicer, has just arrived from Quebec,
which she left on the 23d ult. This ship experienced the
effect of the storm of the 19th instant, when about two
hundred miles west of Scilly. Her bulwarks and
stanchions, boats and cook-house, were carried away,
her decks swept, five of her crew drowned, and two
others disabled.

WOOLWICH, Nov. 24.—The Avon steam-vessel,
Captain Denham, is to be paid off here on Saturday, the
28th instant. It is as gratifying to announce that on the
first board-day after she reached England, the 13th inst.,
her commander, Henry Mangles Denham, F.R.S., was
promoted to the rank of post-captain.
The Gorgon steam-vessel, Commander Crouch, has
delivered over her stores to the authorities of the dock-
yard, and is to be paid off on Thursday, the 26th inst.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander
Petley returned to Woolwich on Saturday, having towed
the Belvidera store-ship from Deptford to the Downs,
on her way to the coast of Scotland with a supply of
meal for the inhabitants of that part of the kingdom.
The Lightning left Woolwich again this morning for
Sheerness to bring up the luggage of Commodore Sir
J. G. Bremer, K.C.8., and K.C.11., appointed to succeed
Rear-Admiral Sir Francis A. Collier, Knight, C.B. and
K.C.H., as superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard.

3IAXY V. TII33IAS

This was an action brought against a coffee-house
keeper in Bishopsgate-street, to recover 1001. on two
bills of exchange. It appeared that the plaintiff had
been the previous cccupant of the house, and part( d
with the business to the defendant fur 3501. At the
time he sold it he stated the house to be doing from
15/. to 201. a week. He paid down 2501., and gave the
two bills, on which this action was brought.
The defence was, that the plaintiff bad misinformed
the defendant as to the amount of business done, the
receipts not being more than 101. a week, and that 2501.
was full value for the same.

.. ... _
The jury found a verdict for the defendant.

SECONDARIES' COURT, Nov. 18.
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
RYLAND V. TEE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

This was an action brought by Mr. Ryland, one of
the City Pleaders, against the above company, for da-
mages for injuries received by an accident on the rail-
way. The case was the first on the list, but the solicitor
for the company applied for a postponement of the case
till twelve o'clock.
The SECONDARY said the difficulty was, that a special
jury had been summoned, and it would be a great incon-
venience to them. The application was ultimately
agreed to. At one o'clock the record, however, was
subsequently withdrawn. The damages were laid at
1,0001., and it is understood the affair was compromised
for 1001.

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVE3I:111;31 19, 1846,

Since the conclusion of the Parliamentary session
of 1846 it has been our gratifying office to comment
upon the rapid diffusion of the commercial principles
then proclaimed by, the British Legislature, upon
their diffusion, not in any sectarian or conventional
spirit of enthusiasm, but upon their spontaneous dis-
semination among the different continental princi-
palities, and upon their earnest acceptance among
large classes of our European brethren. We have
observed with unalloyed gratification that the people
are evincing a readiness to welcome liberal and en-
lightened suggestions, from whatever quarter they
may be promulgated; and that proportionately with
the retrogression of certain Cabinets to the ignorant
and blundering systems of antiquity, the million have
displayed every anxiety to stimulate the progress of
civilisation. While the animus 0r the Veremgericht
has latterly seemed to revive in some amongst the
continental palaces, the love of a social, moral,
physical, and intellectual advancement has found a
generous sympathy in the workshop and the cottage.
In Switzerland, in Galicia, and recently in Portugal,
we have seen Governments endeavouring to suppress
the ebullitions of the popular will by confiscation of
property, by systematic espionage, and by acts of mili-
tary aggression. In France, in Belgium, in Spain, and
even among the princedoms of the Italian peninsula,
we have, on the contrary, recognised the gradual
spread of free-trade doctrines. In the United States
the gigantic measures of Sir ROBERT PEEL have
already exercised a visible influence. Associations
have been formed in various directions of a character
almost identical with the renciwned League. Statistics
are periodically issued illustrative of the insufficient
and pernicious nature of what has been so long mis-
called protection to native agriculture. If other
countries have not got an intellectual army to fight
the battles of reason against prejudice, or if, having
a chivalrous battalion animated with a craving of
such encounters, they are without the
organization for which our body of free.-
traders were so remarkable, they have at
least individuals who are staunch in their ne w
convictions and sanguine as to the result of their
enterprise- If other countries are without an E/31:-.
NEZER ELLIOT to distribute free trade in ballads, or a
PEYRONNET TuomrsoN to write free-trade pamplalets,
or a CHARLES VILLIERS to advocate the free-trade
cause within the walls of the Legislature, or a
IticnAan COBDEN to divulge the shallowness of the
protectionist arguments to' the people, and to excite
an universal, enthusiasm for the attainment of corn-

MONTHLY PRIZE ESSAYS.

What has attracted our especial perusal in this
second number of a new adventurer among the periodical
literature is an essay upon " The Works of Charles
Dickens." We have read it very carefully, and are
forced to pronounce it most egregiously flippant : it is the
very coxcombry of criticism. First of all, it is merely a
trifle beyond nine pages, and the possibility of analysing
the works of such a writer as Dickens, in nine pages,
appears to us about as reasonable as the compression of
the Iliad into a nutshell. Secondly, the writer assails
the writings of Dickens as being of a decidedly immoral
tendency, and if that be not the very prudery
of literary squeamishness, then Archer's Sermons
are only fitted for the shop-windows of Holywell-
street. Thirdly, the writer throws himself into a
violent fit of excitement and indignation at the dinner of
tripe devoured by poor Trotty Veck upon the door-
step of Mr. Alderman Cute ; " Delicacy," says he,
" would have prompted us to turn away till the old man
had finished his dinner !" Fourthly, Dickens is called
something little short of an advocate for Drunkenness,
from such circumstances as that of Dick Swiveller
moistening his clay till it becomes of a slippery
and uncertain consistency ! Fifthly, Miss Haredale and
Dolly Varden are discovered to be identical characters:
and so on "to the end of the chapter." We will not
insist upon the arrogance of such opinions, or of their
moral absurdity: they are their own counterpoise. In
a rather grandiloquent piece of metre, called " The
Dead and the Dying," there is this solemn expression,
of an angry spirit:—
" Slapping round mine ears
Those cursed wings !" &c.
in other words, actually boxing his ear! The other
contributions are, however, iu a great measure devoid of
these blemishes, and if the publicaticn be judiciously
supervised it will prosper.

THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE.

We are glad to see a letter quoted here, from the
Mar! Lane Express, in which the writer says "Sir
Hobert Peel has conferred a great boon upon the coun-
try by a repeal of the corn-laws :—I cannot believe Sir
H. Peel would have consented to remain in the House
of Commons to assist in carrying out other commercial
reforms, if he had not the good of his country at heart,
and more particularly so atter having submitted to the
most insolent and degrading language that ever fell
from the lips of man." The mere admission of such
sentences into a professedly agricultural periodical is a
point gained in favour of justice and fair-play, which
latter, t,s everybody knows, is a jewel. It is satisfac-
tory also to observe a very great modification in the
reprehensive language employed against the obnoxious
freedom of importation to foreign grain. Though a
considerable reduction is declared to have taken place
recently in the prices of grain the Farmer's Magazine
acknowledges that "it bould be unfair " to attribute
that reduction altogether to the Parliamentary realisa-
tion of Free Trude. We welcome this spirit of con-
cession cordially, and expect before very long to find
the Protectionists among the warmest admirers of the
late League. " Wonders will never cease." The
Farmer's Magazine for August is commendable.

LOCAL COURTS.

The Earl of POWlSTre;entediiietition from Car-
narvon, Monmouth, and other places in Wales, praying
for the establishment of local courts.
MARRIAGES IN IRELAND.
Lord CAMPBELL obtained leave to bring in a Bill
for the better regulation of marriages in Ireland. It
was intended to make provision for those cases to which
the Bill brought in by Lord Lyndhurst in 1844 was not
applicable. It referred to those cases where one of the
parties might reside in Scotland or England, and was
intended to oblate the difficulty which at present ex-
isted with regard to them. As it met with the appro-
bation of the law officers of the late Government and
those of the present Government, he was sure it would
meet with no opposition from their Lordships.
Leave having been given to bring in the Bill,
The NOBLE LORD continued—As related to persons
of a middling station in life, the present law pressed
very heavily. He would, therefore, move the first
reading of the Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM moved for a return of the pen-
sions granted for public services. On the ground of
education, it would be of great sery ce to have these
retnrns brought forward. He had stated to his fellow
members of the Education Committee to go to the
schools near Finsbury-square ; and Mr. Wilberforce,
though opposed to Mr. Owen's principles. and other
subjects, and Mr. John Smith, and others, had pro-
ceeded to xisit the schools in Wilmer-street. The
result was, that as many as fifty Members of Parliament
had gone there, and had quite assented to the views of
Mr. Wilberforce and himself, that, however much en-
titled Mr. Wilderspin might be for credit in the esta-
blishment and extension of infant schools, yet, certainly,
Mr. Owen alone was the author of them.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN thought that although
his Noble and Learned Friend had put many witnesses
into the box in the course of his life, he had never
acted more judiciously than on the present occasion, for
he could confirm every word that he had uttered. He
was himself quite cognisant of the respective writs
of Mr. Owen and Mr. Wilderspin—the former as the
author and the lrtter as the extender of infant schoals.
He should never forget the enthusiastic joy of 400 chil-
dren in Dublin, when the toys and the games of the
infant schools were first made known to them. He fully
assented to the merit of Mr. Wilderspin, and that he
was entitled to any testimonial which could be offered.
Lord BROUGHAM said that the whole history of
the thing would be found in Dr. Coke's account of infant
schools.

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.

Two capital conceits form the illustrations of the
August number, " Success to the Secret," and " The
Compliments of the Season"—the said compliments being
nothing less than a brace of grouse painted by Han-
cock. Surely such compliments are ever welcome, like
the cup of sack dispatched per Bardolph to Sir John
Falstaff. There are some rare articles too in the
Sporting Magazine, such as would prompt the
hermit of Vauxhall, himself, to induct his lower extre-
mities into buckskins and tops, and to sport " pink "
one day in the week at the least. " The Sportsman's
Dressing Room" for the nonce, would give even the
dispeptic a longing for an amble over the stubble. John
Mills continues his " Life of a Foxhound" with excel-
lent spirit ; there is a freshness and originality
about the second chapter quite exhilirating. Who
will discredit the notion of dogs having a language
of their own, after reading the conversation between
Ringwood, the hero, and Trimbush, the old adept in the
chase? Who would not carol with Linton?—
The moors ! the moors! the joyous moors !
When autumn displays her golden stores—
When the morning's breath
Blows across the heath,
On the mountain-side,
'Tis gladness to ride,
At the peep of dawn o'er the dewy moors!
At this iniatory season, when the young sportsman, like
Aurora, in Shakspere, " stands tiptoe on the misty
mountain's top" with expectation, this magazine will
prove a welcome instructor, and we will engage that the
aspirant will not find his tutor in the smallest degree
churlish or superficial. The number is in most respects
seasonable and clever.
