CARLIST FORCES IN SPAIN.

The following returns have been furnished the
Madrid Government of the Carlists in arms in Cata-
lonia and Arragon, but it must be recollected that as
the estimated numbers are from a Christino source,
there can be but little doubt that they are consider-
ably underrated :

And this force it will be seen does not include the
troops under the command of Forcadel, who, at the
lowest estimate, has an equal body of Montemolinists
under his orders.

CITY SMALL DEBTS COURT.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)
MONTAGU V. FOOT.

This way an action to recover the sum of 3/. 10s. Bd.,
for money had and received by defendant for the use of
the plaintiff.
The facts were these:—Plaintiff having several debts
outstanding, employed defendant, who frequents the
court, and represents himself as an agent and officer, to
recover one in particular. After some time defendant
said the party had gone into another district, and re-
quired 10s. Bd. to take further proceedings. This was
gives to him, but it was shortly afterwards discovered
that he had previously received the debt which was now
sought to be recovered of him. It was stated to the
Judge that there were several other cases against de-
fendant as " agent" of the late Court of Requests, on
which orders had been made upon him by this Court.
Mr. BUCHANAN, for defendant, did not deny the debt,
but urged that defendant was in bad circumstances at
present, deriving only a scanty living as an occasional
waiter.

The Learned JUDGE said nothing justified such con-
duct as this, and it should bo understood that defendant
was not an officer of, or in any way recognised by, this
court. It was a very bad case indeed.
An order was then made for payment, 10s. down, 10s.
in the Reek, and the balance in six weeks.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

Our markrt was very scantily supplied with English
Wheat, the total arrivals since Saturday not having
exceeded 720 quarters; yet, owing to the pressure of
foreign parcels for sale, and the heavy importations, the
demand for all descriptions was in a very sluggish state,
at Monday's reduced currencies. At the close of the
market a clearance of the English Wheats had not been
effected. Upwards of 12,000 quarters of foreign Wheat
have come fresh to hand this week. The finest qualities
of both red and white moved off steadily, at full prices.
In the middling and inferior kinds scarcely any business
was transacted. All kinds of Barley were firm, but we
have no improvement to notice in ♦alue. There was an
improved inquiry for Malt, the supply of which was on
the increase, at very full prices. Fine sound Oats were
quite as dear. The weathered parcels were neglected.
In Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour, scarcely
any business was transacted.

DEATH OF A VETERAN OrrICER.--Lieutenant
Colonel Charles Thompson, an officer who formerly saw
much service with the 27th Enniskillen foot, died last
week :at his residence, Park Cottage, near Wexford,
after a lengthened illness. The deceased officer was a
native of the city of Londonderry, north of Ireland, a
place so celebrated in history for having held out under
Alderman Walker for several months against the troops
of James IL So far back as 1790, Colonel Thompson
was the member of a corps which was raised by the
people of the city in question to aid their King and
country against the French troops during the continen-
tal war. The regiment, after a few years' service, was
drafted into the line, and Mr. Thompson entered the
27th Enniskillen Foot, to the colonelcy of which Major
General Sir W. Napier, the military historian, was ap-
pointed in February last. With it he served for 31 years
uninterruptedly, and was a prominent leader in all the
eventful scenes through which it moved. He was in
Holland, France, Spain, Egypt, the West Indies, and
witnessed the battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle
Orthes, Toulouse, and Waterloo. In 1825 he retired
from the service of which he had been so distinguished a
member.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY EVENING.—The Ocean
Steam Navigation Company's ship Washington, Captain
J. Johnston, jun., has just arrived from Bremen, which
city she left at 2 P.TrI. on Sunday, with 92 passengers
and a considerable cargo, for New York. Professor
Joseph Gungel's celebrated German band, numbering
32 persons, are passengers by the Washington from Bre
men to New York, intending to take a professional tour
in the United States. Professor Gungel was many
years director of the Emperor of Austria's musical es-
tablishment. The United States frigate St. Lawrence,
44, Captain Pauldon, was at Bremerhaven-roads, and
would leave about the 20th instant for Cowes and
Southampton. On her arrival at Bremerhaven she sa-
luted with 21 guns, and the fort replied with 42 guns.
There was nu commercial or political news of impor-
tance at Bremen. The cholera had not appeared in that
city. Sickness of an aggravated character was preva-
lent. The Washington brought a clean bill of health,
and, in consequence, obtained immediate pratique at
the quarantine ground off Ryde, Isle of Wight.
With reference to the statement made by Prince
Cariati, that a positive assurance had been obtained from
Lord Palmerston " that her Majesty's Government
would not offer any kind of impediment to the military
expedition which the Royal Government was preparing
for the purpose of restoring peace and order in Sicily,"
we are authorized to say that the statement made by
Prince Cariati is without any foundation.
PRESERVED MEATS.—A vessel arrived from Galata
has brought 9,704 packages of preserved beef as A por-
tion of hyr cargo,
