"The Danes, having yesterday been driven by. the
Prussian corps from their positions in Schleswig and the
Castle of Gottorp, were this day pursued in two columns
in the direction of Flensburg. The right hand co-
luaus proceeded by the highway, and consisted
of the troops of the 10th Federal corps, fol-
lowed by five Prussian battalions as reserve force. The
left hand column was made up of Prussian and Schles-
wig. Holstein troops. The enemy had retired in
all directions, they had even abandoned a strong and
prepared position. Towards evening, about nine
*tiles from Flensburg, the right hand column met near
the Bilachan Inn with the enemy's rear guard, whose
outposts consisted of Riflemen, whom our Hussars took
Prisoners. Mill proceeding, we tell in with a battalion

tomonr we attacked. The ground was in favour of the
nes. who fought with great determination. They
were, nevertheless, forced to abandon their position,
although our troops were fatigued with a thirty tnih s'
March and harassed -by-the inclemency of the weather.
The Regiment of the Queen's Hussars. especially
Was successful in out-makutuvring them. They took
the standard of the Danish Dragoons, their corn

took some of their vehicles, and showed altogether
Uuleh activity and perseverance. The Danish Rifle
men made an obstinate resistance, but, having lost their
"mmander and five officers, they were at last forced t,

The Cotton Market has been quieter, but former prices
are barely maintained. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales.
American realised 30. to sd. per lb. For Railway
Shares there was a good demand at advanced prices.
The market closed very firmly.
Much interest is felt with regard to the state of affairs
in Ital), and the report just circulated that the French
army is on the march to assist Charles Albert excite
the liveliest anxiety. The flame of war lighted up be-
tween France and Austria, a great European contest
seems inevitable. Still every one is inclined to hope for
the best, and especially that England may keep aloof.
The letters and papers from the United States are of
interest, as the money market had been affected by the
intelligence from Europe, and there were large remit-
tances of specie making to Europe. There had been
some failures among the French houses, but on the whole
they stood their ground better than might perhaps hove
in a pros-
been expected. The American merchants lire

have nothing to fear while
England stands its
ground. The State rev. nues are steadily improving."
the following information is interesting for the cre
ditors : .

" So far, this season, the most favourable results have
been realised. In Pennsylvania the revenue from the
canals exceeds that up to the corresponding period last
year, although they were opened a week later, and the
prospect for the remainder of the year is very flattering.
In Illinois everything is encouraging. The Illinois and
Michigan canal has been opened, and boats have already
pas-ed through its entire length, with full cargoes. ‘‘ e
shall be able to tell better, in the course of a month or
two, what the income from this work will bethis
season, and what may be expected for the future. It is
our belief that the tolls will be large, and that iitt
inense transportation business will be done on this
canal this the first season of its completion. This,
with the two-mile tax authorised by the new constitu•
lion for the payment of the principal of the intermit
debt, must
place the finances of Illinois in a better posi-
tion than they have ever before actually been, and
enable the State to pay a larger per cent. interest on the
public debt.
" Indiana does not progress so rapidly as the neigh-
bouring states. Her public works being but partially
completed, and her finances in such a contwed condition
it is impossible to form any idea of her probable ability
to meet the claims of her creditors.• The arrangement
made some time since with her bondholders has
been by no means satisfactory, and the more
they reflect upon it, the louder their com-
plaints. In a short time it will be considered
rank repudiation—such repudiation as no other State in
the Union has been guilty of—repudiation of an ac-
knowledged debt. When the terms were first proposed
they were accepted because they were supposed to be
the best in the power of the State to fulfil ; but the
andpubliaa
mind has hdiaftseerxelt
pierfirelciendg is expressed to that firsta very great change since,

The trade with Canada will shortly be resumed, as
the ice was breaking up at Three Rivers. The
progresswill
steadily, sad the immigt ation be of a more wholesome

'aracter.

effect, of hales to realise profits upon the decided advance
of the last few days. The abundance of money is the
chief cause that prices are maintain. d, for although

CITY COUNTY COURT.

TRAVERS AND COMPANY v. PEEK, BROTHERS ANDiCO.
'This case was tried on the 14th of April, Mr. /34agiety,
appearing, for the plaintiffs and Mr. C. Blackbitra for.
the defendants.
The question is one of considerable importanca're the
merchants apd brokers of the city, and the facts as proved
at the trial are as folloWs :—lti March 1847, the plain,
tiffs purchased of defendants, through their respe a.
tire brokers, at public sale, thirty lots of gintlee,
then lying' in the East and West India dockti..
the time of the sale defendants handed to phintiffe
the dock warrants for the ginger. and. which
were in the usual form, and bore the following. indorse.
:Lent,—" Rent it incurred to the 6th March. 1847, to
our deposit account. (Signed) RICKARDS, LITTLE, and
Co." The warrants were never indorsed by defendants.
Plaintiffs at the same, time paid defendant's for the
ginger deducting the amount of rent incurred from the
6th March, 1847, to what is termed the prompt of dr
fondant's sale to them. :.In October, 1847, Messrs,
Rickards, Little and Co. suspended their payments,
Plaintiffs Mill held several of the before-mentioned war.
ants, and on presenting them to the Dock Company
or the puilpose of having Messrs. Rickards and C 0.%
Deposit Account charged with rent up to the 6th MarA.
pursuant to their indorsement, the Dock Company re. .
firm d .se to do, on the ground of their having suspended
payment. Plaintiffs were thereupon obliged -to pay .the
rent due up to that time, as well as subsequent,' and
brought"' this action to recover from defendants the
amount - they had so paid as money paid for
their use. The plaintiffs contended that defendants
were bound to have Rickards and Co's Account charged
before they handed the warrants to plaintiffs, and not
Having dune so they remained liable for such rent. On
the other' hand, defendants contended that, having
handed the warrants with such indorsement, to plaintiffs.
they had notice that the account had not been charged.
that they, by so receiving them, elected to look to Rick- .
and and Cp. for the rent to the 6th March, and by receiv-
ing the subsequent rent from defendants they discharged
them from all liability. It was also urged that suppos-
ing defendants bad remained liable for such rent, that

had
been caused by plaintiffs own negligence, in not getting
their accyunts charged at any time during the silt
months which they held the warrants.
The case stood over for decision, and Messrs. Amery

The plaintiff in this case is
con/sa I.
•
the son of the well-known
the
Mr. Cobbett. Notwithstangeng legal proaeedings
which he bas adopted in
the last two or three years, with other courts during
his discharge from the Queelve
Bench,tie view of obtaining

been repeatedly offered his discharge stated that he has
(ions, but that he has refused to accept one ctertain condi-
offers that have been made to him, on the any of the
he is legally entitled to his liberty, and that eground:t
he will not
accept it on any conditions whatever.
Mrs. Cobbett, who, it will be borne in mind, fre
quently addresses the Courts in support of the legal
objections offered by her husband to his detention, and
who is almost daily to be seen in one or other of them,
took her seat in the court this morning.
Lcrd DENMAN, seeing Mrs. Cobbett, gave the judg..
went of the Court upon her husband's last application le
the Learned Judges. It will be recollected that Mr.
Cobbett had been transferred from the custody of the
keeper of the Fleet Prison into that of the
defendant, the Governor of the Queen's Bench.
Against the validity of that attachment he appealed
on the ground of its irregularity, and brought au action
against the defendant for compensation. At the trial
the defendant proved that the writ of attachment was
delivered to him while the plaintiff was in the custody 01
the Governor of the Fleet Prison, and that the plaintiff
was transferred to his custody in the ordinary way, anti
in virtue of the warrant. Subsequently, the plaintiff
was brought up by a habeas corpus, when he contended
that Mr. Baron Parke would have discharged him for
the irregularity of the proceeding, but that the defen-
dant had made an improper return to the writ. Now th.
plaintiff said it lay upon the defendant to prove in what
manner he became attached, and that he had failed to do
so. He, therefore, contended that he was entitled
his discharge, and moved for a new trial on the above
grounds. The Learned Chief Just ice said that the Court
was of opinion that the proceedings on the attachment
were perfectly regular, and that, therefore,.the applica-
tion could nut be acceded to.
Rule refused.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCRELL.)
ROBERTS V. SINTRESICII.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of
171. 7a. for money lent, &c. Defendant pleaded a set-off
for board and lodging of plaintiff.
The plaintiff had been housekeeper in a gentleman's
family, and whilst out of a situation went to reside with
defendant, who was a friend, residing in Chester-place,
13elgrave-square. Previously to that time she had ad-
vanced differeat sums of money, for which defendant
hall given an I 0 U for 71. 10s., and the full amount
made out for plaintiff was 151. The only question was,
whether the plaintiff was liable for the board and lodg-
ing at 18s. per week, for no bargain had been made, and
plaintiff urged that she had taught the defendant's wife
the art of cookery.
The defendant's attorney complained that the action
should have been brought in the superior court, when, it
it had been brought in the county court, the parties
might have been examined.
The UNDER-Z*IIEIIM said he could not interfere on
that point, nor could the jury take it into consideration.
The jury gave a verdict for 11/. 165., allowing Bs. a
week for board and lodging.
The other cases were undefended, and not of the
slightest interest.

CLERKENWELL.--(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Montagu Leveson, who was remanded on Satur-
day last, on the charge of maliciously shooting Priscilla
Fitzpatrick, was brought up this day, before Mr. Tyr-
whitt, for final examination.
A certificate from the house-surgeon at the Univer-
sity College Hospital was handed to the magistrate,
which stated that the wounded girl was in a very pre.
carious state.
Mr. Walters, of Guildford-place, Clerkenwell, gun-
maker, stated that the pistol, the lock of which was
originally of bad materials and workmanship, had
been greatly knocked about, and was in such
bad order that it would go off more readily at half-cock
than at the full. The trigger was of iron, as was com-
monly the case in French pistols, whereas it ought to be
steel, as was always the case in pistols of English manu-
facture. He observed, however, that the barrel was
rifled, of which the French were very fond, although,
With such a pistol as this, it was not worth the expense.
The cause of the pistol's going off so readily at halt-
cock was, that the point of the trigger being of Bolt

James Whiskin, Esq., a Middlesex Magistrate, -de-
posed that on Monday morning he was called upon by
one of the relatives of the defendant,
he visited the sufferer Pris at whose request
et la Fitzpatrick at the hospi-
tal, and having ascertained that she believed herself in
a dying state, and that she had no hopes of living, he
took her deposition in the usual form, and in it she three-
times emphatically declared that it was " all an accident,
that Mr. Montagu had no idea of shooting her."
The prisoner, being then called on for his defence,
said in a low tone with great emotion, " I had no idea
of shooting her."
Mr. I'TRWRITT said, that although in his own mind
he was perfectly satisfied of the defendant's innocence,
and would be satisfied with his own recognizance, yet as
the law was very strict in the inference of criminality
whenever death was caused by -violent means, be thought1
