SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER).
11NCHAM v. BAYEIAM.—"CONTINUING" AN ACTION.
This was an action to recover the value of goods sold.
The plaintiff's attorney said the action was originally
broughtdefendant
for 21. 13s , but had been stayed on condition of
`eferidant paying the debt and costs. He paid the debt
!tid several instalments, which, however, did not cover
Vle costs, and it had therefore become necessary to
"ring the case before the jury; but as the debt was
42tinuished he need not adduce eviece,
kr nog
minal damages would suffice fodr n
the can d a verdict
ase.
A juror said he did, not see how ho could find a ver-
dict even for a farthing without evidence, and 'still
more so in the face of an admission that the debt had
been paid.
The Learned SECONDARY said that by de "endant not
Pleading at the time the action was brought, he admitted
40mething was due, and although the debt was settled
the action could be continued to recover the costs, al-
though coming before the Court entailed a considerable
additional expense.
The jury gave a verdict for Is.

This was an action by the assignee of a bankrupt to
cover for goods sold. There was no defence, and a

Sir G. GREY--I am anxious to make a brief state-
ment to the House, in justice to some naval officers,
who feel themselves aggrieved by statements affecting
them which have appeared in the public papers, and
which have been made the subject of a question in this
House. I refer to the officers of her Majesty's ship
the Shearwater. The House will recollect that a
question was put to me some time since by the Hon. and
Gallant Officer opposite, the Member for Armagh,
founded on a statement in the newspapers, that the pri-
soner Mitchel, who was conveyed in that ship to Spike
Island, bad been invited to breakfast by the officers of
that ship. At that time I had no information on the
subject beyond what was contained in the public papers
and in a private letter to the same effect. Since that time,
however, Admiral Mackay, who was in command at Cork,
has called for a detailed report on the subject from Lieut.
Tumour, the commanding officer of the Shearwater,
and his explanation is perfectly satisfactory, and com-
pletely exonerates the officers of that ship from the
slightest imputation. It appears that the prisoner was
placed aboard under the charge of two police
officers, and the chart-room was assigned by
Lieutenant Tumour for their use during the
passage. The steward was directed to furnish the pri-
soner and the police-officers with their meals is that
room, and this was done, with the exception of their
breakfast, on the very morning on which they came on
board ; in consequence of the chart-room being
occupied by the bed of the police officers, the break-
fast was provided in the gun-room, but not until
after the officers of the ship had themselves breakfasted.
Lieutenant Tumour and the officers, though they felt
aggrieved by the statement which had appeared in the
papers, in this respect had very properly abstained, in
obedience to general instructions in such cases, from
justifying themselves by any statement made through the
public papers, and although I otherwise should
have felt it unnecessary to refer again to the case
and feel that under these circumstances it is due to the
officers of the Shearwater, that I should give this ex-
planation of the real facts of the case, which completely
exonerate them from the slightest blame.—(Hear.)
DERBY " SWEEPS"—IMPORTANT STATE-

Mr. BARBER proposed that, considering the evils
which were entailed upon society by the compromise of
crime and the ruinous expenditure of prosecutions in
securing the conviction of offenders, it was necessary that
all prosecutions for every species of crime should be
conducted at the expense of the Crown, under the direc-
tion of a public prosecutor, and that the meeting pledged
itself to use every exertion to accomplish the amendment
of the law in that respect. Ile gave an interesting account
of the detection and conviction of a number of practical
swindlers, and alluded to one gan., who had taken pre-
mises in Old Change, and with the view of deceiving
persons had filled the shelves with " dummies" in the
shape of packets of buttons, which, however, turned out
to have enclosures of wood, bundles of thread filled with
saw-dust, and packets representing other articles filled
with shavings and such like substances. Specimens of
these packages were exhibited at the meeting, and
created a good deal of amusement.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. BREWSTER, and
unanimously carded.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman,
and the meeting separated.

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BANKING
COMPANY.
The seventh annual general meeting of the propictors
of this company took place yesterday, at the Company's
Offices in Old Broad-street, for the purpose of receiving
the report of the directors, and electing directors and
auditors in the room of those gentlemen that went out
by rotation.
E. Dlvett, Esq., M.P., took the chair at one o'clock.
The minutes of the last meeting having been read and
confirmed,
The CHAIRMAN called upon the manager to read the
report.
EDMUND J. WHEELER, Esq., the manager, then read
the following report:—
" The Court of Directors of the South Australian
Banking Company offer to the seventh annual general
meeting of proprietors the following report of the com-
pany's affairs:—
" The extended emigration to South Australia, and
the consequent increase of its general commerce, still
further promoted by the successful working of various
mines, have made the past year one of great activity,
and have called into ready employment the entire
capital of this company, although scarcely sufficient time
has elapsed to realise the full profits to be expected
therefrom.
" Wishing to preserve their former plan of having the
colonial assets most strictly examined, that no doubtful
amounts might be reckoned in the balance-sheet, suit-
able instructions were renewed to the local directors
and manager ; and in his report upon the annual
return for the 29th of November last, Mr. Stephens
states, that the most careful examioation has been
made by the local board into every item of the bank's
assets, subjecting the whole to that rigid scrutiny
ordered to be adopted ; and after mature consideration
it has been unanimously resolved to pass to loss the
few insignificant items, which are included in the profit
and loss account.'
" During the past year, progress has been made in
recovering doubtful debts (formerly written off), and in
realising securities taken in the earlier period of the
colony. The home debt of the South Australian Com-
pany has been wholly paid off, and the bank's funds are
being concentrated in assets readily available for all the
operations.
"The summary of the general profit and lots account
is as follows, viz.:—

profits on 31st :lay,

onlyin raawlinaSitungdar, the market was
better supplied, still on the partn
holders there
was firmness. For West
sorts,
rates
were insisted upon for all
although
scale or pan. The total purchases amount
hhds, &c., including a public sale of 206 hhds to 550
and 20311arrels of Trinidad, which sold at the tres
value, good yellow 39s 6d to 40s 6d, middling 38s former
eor
395, low 37s 6d to 38s, and fine brown 37s per cwt. t
REFINED.—To-day a fair demand existed from the
home trade for refined goods, and prices ruled firm at
558 6d for standard, and at 54s 6d per cwt for brown
grocery lumps. Bonded crushed Sugar is dull of sale
at from 25s 6d to 26s 6d per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with less attention. The parcels offered at public sale,
amounting to 1;4 tierces and 6,308 bags, were only in
part sold, but the rates obtained are equal to those of
Friday—fine and good yellow went at 40s 6d to 43s 6d,
middling 39s to 40s 6d, low 38s to 385 Gd, good and floe
to 40s 6d, washed 32s to 42s per cwt.
brown 36s to 37s 6d, grainy 40s to 425, syrupy 32s Gd
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand was less
active for Bengal Sugar, and the market was much bet-
ter supplied. Four parcels, amounting to 8,250 bags, were
offered at public sale, and the chief part sold—white and
brown, at full rates, but grainy rather cheaper—Benares,
low white went at 40s to 40s 6d, middling 41s, fine and
good soft yellow 38s 6d to 39s 6d, damp and washed 39s
to 41s, fine and good strong yellow 40s to 43s 6d, low
and middling 37s to 39s 6d, damp 36s to 43s Gd, good
and fine white 49s to 51s, and brown 32s 6d to 33s Ed.
Of Madras, 100 bags went at 28s for low damp brown.
FOREIGN.—There has been a decrease in the demand
for all descriptions; holders have shown a desire to sell,
and submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d to
Is per cwt. By private treaty the demand has been
extremely limited for all sorts, and for every purpose.

At public sale 561 hhds and 332 brls of Porto

Rico were only in part sold fine and very fine
yellow at 44s to 475, middling and good 39s to
435, and middling grey 38s 6d ; 144 hogsheads
of Cuba Muscovado out of condition went tit 32s to 36s Gd
for washed; 140 boxes of white Cuba, good 8 and
washed 47s to 50s; 1,575 boxes of clayed Cuba, all
aults,
were disposed of at 38s to 41s for middling to good
yellow, and at 46s to 60s 6d for washed. The stock is
still smaller than last year, and in the importation there
is yet a material decrease, but deliveries are not equal to
those of that time either for export or home use.
MOLASSES.—lmporters manifest much firmness, as the
quantity of West India imported this year is small, and
less than in the former one by 7,60 puns. The deli-
veries are also on the increase, but at present do not
come up to those of that time by 1,000. There is a
falling off in the stock of 1,200 puns. An improved de-
mand is expected to take place shortly, and an advance
in the value. In Bengal Treacle the sales made are of
little moment, yet holders are not disposed to sell upon
former terms.

COFFEE. This afternoon more inclination was
evinced to do business in Plantation Ceylon; 60 casks
900 bags at auction were sold at fully former rates, low
middling at 44s to 46s 6d, middling 525, good 655, good
middling 59s to 60s, fine fine ordinary 38s 6d to 40s 6d,
good ordinary 30s, low and ordinary 25s to 28s 6d,
damaged 20s to 355. For Native the market has not
a brisker appearance, and 1,818 bags went 6d cheaper,
but the whole sold. Mocha is wanted. Of Jamaica 44
casks and 50 barrels were sold at steady rates. 217 bags
Padang were taken in at 27s for good ordinary, ta.ing
above the value.
Cocoa.—lmporters of West India are not inclined to
further reduce their prices, but the trade evince little
desire to operate, and there is a plentiful supply. The
tendency of quotations is evidently downwards. Of 617
bags Trinidad offered at public sale, a small part only
sold.
SPICES.—Today a fair demand existed for Ginger for
home-trade purposes, and 43 brls Jamaica at auction
sold at higher rates—fine went at 71 lOs to 10118 s, good
Si 18s to 6153, and good ordinary 31 10s. Of Pimento,
some parcels were sold privately, and at stiffer rates ;
whilst 45 bags at auction sold at 3id for low middling.
300 bags are declared for Thursday next.
TEAS.—To-day the market for tea presented a firm
appearance, and by private treaty a good business
was concluded. Of 3,174 pigs offered at public sale 1,000
sold at full rates, excepting Twankay, which went ld per
lb cheaper. Young Hyson sold at is 71d to 2s for
good; Caper scented is is lid to is 2d, Souchong good

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
A very limited supply of English Wheat has arrived
for our market this week, coastwise, as well as by land
carriage and sample. The quantity of that grain on
offer to-day was small; while the demand for all de-
scriptions was steady, and Monday's quotations were
well supported. No Foreign Wheat has come to band
since Saturday. With that article we were very scan-
tily supplied, owing to which the sale was firm, at ex-
treme rates of currency, Parcels in bond as well as on
board were held at very full prices. No English Barley
on offer. Foreign parcels were a slow sale, but we have
no further decline to notice in value. In Malt, compa-
ratively little business was transacted; but we have no
alteration to notice in value. All kinds of Oats—the
supply of which was not to say extensive—were a slow
inquiry, at low rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and
Meal were very dull. The Flour trade was steady, and
prices were well supported.

RlCE.—This afternoon East India Rice met with little
attention privately, and 2,235 bags Java at auction sold
6d per cwt lower, ordinary white only fetched 83 6d to
9s, good bold yellow 7s 6d to Bs, damaged 5s Gd to
7s 6d. 160 tins of Arrowroot were taken in at Bd.
SPIRITS.—Ou the part of holders of Rum there is
firmness, but the home trade operate with caution
in all descriptions, and export orders continue to be
trifling. Proof Leeward Island is held for is 9d to
Is 10d, East India is 6d to Is Bd, Jamaica 28 to
36 per cent. over proof 3s 10d to 46 3d, fine 4s 4d

borne and export demand, holders are ready sellers of
Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1846 at 4s 7d to
4s 9d, and 1847 ditto 3s 7d to 3s 9d. Geneva met with
little attention. British made Spirit is not cheaper;
only a limited demand, however, has been experienced,
but there is not a larger stock. Iu the value of Giu
there is not the least variation to make known, but the
trade is less brisk.

Balance of undivided profits on 29th
May, 1848 ................................. £1,196 10
" The directors are unwilling to re-open the 3
prelimi-
nary expenses' account, and have therefore preferred at
once debiting to charges account 1847-8, the whole cost
of the charter, and leaving preliminary expenses' ac-
count undisturbed, rather than alter it by cross entries.
For this reason the preliminary expenses' account will,
until the next balance, remain at 10,000/.
" From the foregoing balance of nett profit, viz.,
10,196/ 10s. 3d., the directors recommend that
1,019/. 135., or 10 per cent. (as by the charter and deed
of settlement) be added to the reserve fund, which will
then be about 3 100/.; and that from the balance a divi-
dend of five per cent. per annum, clear of income-tax,
upon the capital, be made payable half-yearly in July
and January next as usual.
" The annual accounts to 29th ultimo have been duly
audited, and will now be submitted for confirmation.
" A statement of the average weekly assets and liabi-
lities of the colonial establishment to 29th November
(the date of the balance), will also be read for your in-
formation.

The favourable advices from the plantations have
had considerable influence upon the demand for all kinds
of Hops, the prices of which have further receded fuily
2s. per cwt. The duty has advanced to 190,0001.
Sussex pockets, 21 14s to 31 2s per cwt; Weald of Kent
ditto, 2/ ISs to 315 s per cwt; Mid and East Kent ditto,
31 5s to 51 Os per cwt.

COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was no increase in
the demand for Cochineal, and 106 bags, at sale, were
nearly all taken in at rather lower terms—Mexican
blacks 3s I Id to 4s Id, silvers low to good middling 3s
9d to 4s 2d, and Mexicans 3s 8d to 3s 10d per lb.
Istraco.—The quantity declared for public sale on the
11th of July amounts to 7,131 chests, and unless affairs
on the Continent assume a more favourable appearance
previous to that time, only a small portion will be sold,
unless holders submit to a material decline on those cur-
rent at the last quarterly sales. Since this day week
the purchases made have been extremely limited in all
sorts, both by exporters and the home trade. Spanish
is not much required, and can be obtained upon rather
lower terms; there is also a fair supply.
SALTPETRE.—To-day there was not much disposition
manifested to do business, and 1,379 bags of Calcutta at
auction were taken in rather above the value-44 to 4
per cent 295, 8 to 6-1- do 27s 6d to 28s, 5f ditto 28s 6d,
and 34 ditto of ordinary quality 26s 6d per cwt.
OILS.—Few purchases have been made in Rape Seed
Oil, and rather lower rates were accepted yesterday,
pale selling at 355, and brown at 34s per cwt. There is
also a large quantity pressing upon the market. For
Linseed Oil prices remain much the same as on
this day week ; from the home trade there has
been a good demand, and exporters have been
induced to take several parcels. A fair demand exists
for Lard Oil at 42s to 455. Ground Nut is dull of sale
at 37s to 38s. In Olive the operations are upon a
more extended scale, but not at better prices.
Cocoa Nut is offered at 38s to 44s for low to
fine quality, still the dealings have been limited.
For Palm prices continue to recede, and buyers to ope-
rate with caution; the value of fair to fine quality is 27s
to 30s. Of Fish Oils imports are of little moment since
our last report, and for common sorts the market has an
improving appearance. Purchases to a fair extent have
been made in Cod, at from 241 lOs to 25/, and at which
holders are firm. For pale Seal the demand is active.
Other sorts are still little wanted. Southern is wanted,
and in consequence of the decrease in the supply,
buyers are compelled to pay stiffer rates. Of Sperm
there is a plentiful supply, and a further decline in the
value is apparent; on the part of the buyers there is
little desire shown to operate. At auction 40 tuns of

" The directors vacating by rotation, are William
Chippindale, Esq., and J. B. Todd, Esq. The auditors,
J. Brown, Esq., and F. Ladbroke, Esq., also retire pur-
suant to the charter and deed of settlement; but all these
gentlemen, being eligible for reelection, offer themselves
ACCQrdiDgly.
