CORN-EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat of home produce have been
but moderate, though of fair average quality. The stands were by
no means heavily supplied with samples of that grain, yet so Inactive
was the demand for it, that prices were almost nominal, and a clear-
ance was not effected by the factors, Upwards of 18,000 quarters of
foreign Wheat have arrived this week, and been landed in bond.
Very few transactions took place, either in free or under-lock par-
cels, at late rates. The quantity of Barley was somewhat on the in-
crease. The first qualities were quite as dear, but all oth.:
need
were much neglected. The supply of Malt wee not large, yet it W 44
fully equal to the wants of the buyers. In prices we him 110 Altera_

The arrivals of Beasts up to our market to-day being on the In-

trade was somewhat inactive, yet Youtlay's quotations were sup-
ported in every instance. From Scotland we received 360 Beasts
and 420 Sheep; and from ffolland 94 Oxen and Cows, together with
20 Sheep, the latter In very middling condition. With Sheep we
were, the time of 3 ear considered, fairly supplied. Prime old Dow*
were in steady request, at full prices. In other kinds, compathtlYely
little business was transacted. From the Isle of Wight /Oa Lambs
came to hand per railway ; while from other (playlet's, the receipts
of that description of stock were tolerahlf pod. On the whole, the

(THIS DAY.)

Sub-Committee No. 1.
This Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock; Mr. Strutt,
Chairman.

THE. WEST RIDING UNION.
Mr. Pritt appeared in support of this Bill. Mr. G. Webster and
Mr. Gregory opposed.
This was an adjourned ease, the Avonl proofs having been put in
a few days prior to the recess. . ••- • - •

Mr. Oita;Malt made several allegations against the plans and
sections. A fey of a trifling character were sustained, while the
more important were declared not to have been sustained. One
allegation was, that the plan was not correct, inasmuch
as it did not agree :with the scale on the plan. It
was, however, admitted by the opponents that the plan itself was
right if measured by a proper sale, the latter being incorrectly
made out.

Mr.yairr called an engineer, who stated, that if the plan were to
be measured by a scale correctly drawn, it would be found to be per-
fectly correct. The inaccuracy of the scale was occasioned by its
having been drawn with the hand after the plan had been printed.
The Committee decided that the allegation had not been sustained.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day for the that time since the Easter recess to
hear appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cot-
tenhani and Lord Campbell.
THE EARL OF STAIR v. RING.
This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the Court
of Session in Scotland. The question involved in the case is one of
dry Scotch entail, as to whether or not A deed had been properly
registered.
Mr. Bethell and Mr. Rutherford appeared for the appellant; and
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Robertson for the respondent.
The case appears likely to occupy some days.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor, after disposing of the unopposed lunatic
petitions hi his paper, proceeded to hear the further arguments in the
part-heard appeal of Weeks v. Stanhope, which occupied his Lord-
ship the remaiuder of the morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Vice-Chancellor of England took unopposed petitions, short
causes and petitions to day, none of which possessed any interest.
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUGE.)
WILSON V. STANHOPE—DEMURRER.
This was a bill tiled by the plaintiff, a shareholder, on behalf of
the other shareholders of the London and Manchester Direct Inde-
pendent Railway (Remington's line), against the Directors and
Provisional Committee of that Company, and alleged that the
defendants have generally neglected the interests of the company, and
frustrated the objects of it in favour of the Direct London and Man-
chester Railway (Rastrick's line), to which they handed over the
plans and sections prepared for the rival scheme; and alleges fur-
ther, that this was done for a personal consideration ; and
that the deposits paid in on the Remington line
were laid out in the purchase of shares'ln the ether company, with
a view to keeping up their price in the market, and adds some
minor details bearing upon these charges.
The ca,e was heard on demurrer, on the part of the Hon. Mr.
Stanhope, one of the defendants, on whose behalf the demurrer was
argued en a point of equity, arid on the question of parties, it was
contended that in case a partnership was to be wound up, it could
not he brought into Court but in presence of all parties concerned.
The COURT decided that the point in equity failed, and overruled
the demurrer on the question of parties, without prejudice to any
question in the cause, and reserved costs.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
Sittings in Banco, Westminster Hall.
OLWISON V. THE MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY.
This was an action taken by Messrs. H. and It. Olwison, insurance
brokers, nominal plaintiffs, who effected a policy of insurance on
behalf of Messrs. Garrett and Co., in the Marine Insure ice Com-
pany, upon certain goods shipped on board the Penang, and destined
for China. The action was tried at Liverpool Spring Assizes, 1844,
and a verdict taken for the plaintiff, for 2,8791., subject to a special
case.

' Mr. Maims*, in applying for the rule, stated the facts as they ap-
peared in evidence, which were in substance to this effect :—That
the plaintiffs shipped their goods on board the Penang for Canton;
that while on the voyage a storm arose, and the ♦easel and cargo
were injured ; that the Penang put into Hong-Kong, and there
transhipped the goods into tho James Lang, which the defendant■
eontendedlwas the final port of destination of the 200 bales of goods,
but the plaintiffs contended that such could not be the case, inas-
much as that Hong-Kong was then (in June, 1341), but a barren
rock, having no warehouses, and only a few sheds, and that the
goods were only transhipped with a view to ascertain the extent of
the damage they had sustained; and that Canton was the final port
of destination, because it was the final port of sale.
The case is one of rather a complicated nature, and involves the
consideration of the question as to what was the actual understand-
standing between this country and China at the time, or whether
England was at open hostilities with the Chinese theta.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on behalf of the plaintiff, contended that
England was then at open war with China, and that Canton was,
at the time of the arrival of the Penang at Hong-Kong,
in a state of actual siege by the British forces, and
that therefore the party in charge of the goods did not deem it safe to
take them there, and therefore he hired the James Lang as a receiv-
ing ship, and put the goods into her. He further contended that the
policy was so generally worded as to leave optional the port in China
at which the goods were to be landed ; and that the Penang was
destined to return to England with tea, and not to go on te Canton.
lie further contended that the James Lang was not hired as a re-
ceiving ship, which was to convey the goods to some other port, but
as a warehouse for the goods.
Mr. MARTIN proceeded to reply, and had not concluded when our
report left.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Wiwinatl.)
Mr. UNTIIANK moved, on the part of a prisoner charged with man-
slaughter under a coroner's inquest, for a writ of certiorari to bring
up the proceedings, and a rule nisi to show cause why he should not
be admitted to bail.

The names of the parties did not transpire, but It appeared from
the affidavits produced by the Leurnel Counsel, that the deceased,
being in a state of intoxication, went to the house of the prisoner and
began to undress, as if he bad been at home. Whilst they were
struggling the prisoner's wife ran for assistance, and the prisoner
having succeeded in putting the deceased out of the door, shut X It
was supposed that the shutting of the door caused the deceased to
fall down the steps and fracture his skull. It did not appear that the
act was malicious.—Application granted.

MARLBRO%BTREET---(THIS DAY)
George Castel', a remarkably fine-grown young man, was charged
with being a deserter from the 12th Regiment of Light Dragoons
(Lancers).

John Porteus, sergeant, Gth Dragoons, stated that in consequence of
information he had received he apprehended the prisoner between
eight and nine o'clock last evening, at the King's Arms public-house,
in Bear-street, Leicester-square, as a deserter from the 12th Light
Dragoons.
Mr. IL►aiwtctt (to the brisoner)—Do you admit being a deserter
from that regiment? Prisoner—l do.
Edward Kelly, sergeant of the 3d Dragoon Guards, identifled the
prisoner, having known him while in the regiment. 'I he prisoner
admitted that he enlisted into the 12th Lancers about a year
and ten months ago, at a public-house in Westminster, and deserted
front Maidstone, on the sth instant, for the purpose of getting mar-
ried. He was committed, and his descriptive return forwarded to
the War•office In the usual manner.

PUNISHMENT FOR CONJUGAL INFIDELITY.-A very
novel and extraordinary procession took place on Thursday, the 2d
instant, at King's Coed, in the parish of Llandenny, near Pontypool.
On the morning of that day, Elizabeth, the wife of a farm labourer
of the name of Cole, and a fanner residing near, had been found to
sin against the seventh commandment. The husband Immediately
communicated the knowledge of his rib's infidelity and of his own
injury tO some Wends, who, upon due deliberation, advised him to
seize the aggressor and his paramour, and bind them back to back.
This being accotnplisked, they were placed upon a hurdle, and fas-
tened to a ladder. They were then mounted upon the shoulders of
some lusty rustics, accompanied by about fifty persons, who appeared
delighted with the fun. They visited every farm-house in the vil-
lage, thus elevated—" Sure such a pair was never seen." The farmer
and his paramour seemed regardless of the degradation they were
undergoing, and appeared quite at ease, the former smoking a pipe.
The attendants in the procession imagining that he displayed too
much levity and indifference in the situation he had by his indis-
cretion placed himself, insisted he should no longer indulge hi the
pleasure he derived from the fumes of the weed, and he was reluc-
tantly compelled to relinquish use solace he experienced fren► its
enloyment. From ten is the morning till darkness drew a veil over
the proceedings were they thus publicly exposed b.l such Lynch law,

LONDON SOCIETY for TEACHING THE BLIND TO READ.—(THIS DAY.)
Tilt sixth anniversary meeting of the above society vrass
this day held at the Queen's Concert Rooms, Hanover-,
square. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock precisely, by'
the Rev. the Lord Bishop of Winchester. The room wa.s
filled to overflowing 17.,, a most respectable audience, com-•
posed almost 'exclusively of ladies, who appeared to take*
great
in.i.erest in the proceedings of the Society.
lerom the report read by the Secretary, it appeared that
the progress of the society was highly satisfactory. The*
school-rooms had been enlarged, and the number of pupils
at present in the schools had increased to 62. Of this nuntv tier 14 were adults. The total number of pupils re-
ceived at the society's schools since the commencem
nt
of the society had exceeded 500. The income of
the society during the past year from all sow tee
had been 1,876/. 12s. 4d.• The expenditure during the si one
period amounted to 1,7421. Bs. 6d. At the commencemen tof
the meeting, the children sung in excellent style an anti ism
(84tli Psalm), and subs .(quently Mendelssohn's Hymr t of
Praise. The Right Rev. Chairman then called upon som eof
the scholars to read some portions of Scripture, the port ions
selected were 1 John 3 verse, Mark 13. The manner• in
which they performed their task was certainly most surprii ing,
and bore out in some degree the truth of the assertion of one
of the speakers namely, " that the intellects of the bi ind,
when cultivated, had far outstripped their brethren in the
race;" for many persons possessing the sense of sight, as.d who had even received what might be termed a libere, edu-
cation, would find themselves immeasurably distanced. -by
these blind children in the art of reading correctly.
The business of the meeting having been brought t xi a
conclusion, thanks were voted to the Right Rev. Chain new,
and the meeting broke up.

ADDRESS OF THE BRITISII
SIDENTS IN PARIS TO THE KING OF 77HE
FRENCH.

A most numerous meeting of British subjects took place, on Wed-
nesday, in the great room of Lawson's Bedford Hotel, in the R pe St.
Honore, Paris, to vote a congratulatory address to King .Louis
Philippe, on his late providential escape from assassination.
Amongst the gentlemen present we perceived the Duke of 31on-•
trose, Lord Gray of Gray, Lord Decies, Lord Cantalupe, V' ecount
Dillon, the Earl of !Gifford, Barry Baldwin, M.P., Sir J. D, oveter„
Sir Denham Jephson Norreys, M.P., General Sir Phiueas Ry al, ti
Right Hon. Henry Ellis, General Wright, General Sir Ale: fantder
Duff, Admiral Honeyman, Lieutenant-Colonel Saunderson, of the
Grenadier Guards; Culonel Hunter Blair, Captain Colleer, B .N.,
O'Gorman Mahon; Archdeacon Keating, Archdeacon War ain :ton,
Rev. F. Saunderson, Captain Hankey, &c.
On the proposition of the Right Honourable H. Ellis, seco nc! by
Colonel Saunderson, the Duke of Montrose was unanimiusky re-
quested to take the chair.
The Noble CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, observed that, he
was deeply sensible of the honour of presiding over so ntlrnerc u s and
respectable a meeting, on the occasion of voting an address •,„o the
King on hie late miraculous escape. Ills Majesty was too dee ply be-
loved for his late danger not to call forth the sincere syi apathy
not only of all French people, but of tte foreign residents in_ .Paris.
He considered the preservation of his Majesty's life of the utmost
importance, not only to France, but to the wholo of Europe, as pre-
senting the best guarantee of the continuance of peace. Lon g, there-
fore, might he held his present high position ! And whet tat last.
in the course of nature, he was called on to depart from, this We,
might he leave all in order and peace, ready and prepa-md ter his
successor.—(Hear, hear.)
The Right Honourable H. ELLIs then calved that the Mowing ad-
dress be adopted:—
" May it please your Majesty,
"We, the undersigned British subjects now in Paris, beg leave
to approach your Majesty with the expression of bur sincere congra-
tulations on the providential escape of your Majesty from the atro-
cious attempt made by a reckless assassin on your sacred person.
Most heartily do we unite with the people of' France in recognising,
in the fortunate escape of your Majesty, the continued protection of
Divine Providence ; and we trust that this expression of :sympathy
and respect, coming from British subjects, may find a favourable ac-
ceptance with your Majesty, the preservation of whose life we, in
common with your loyal and devoted people, feel to be moat impor-
tant tc the well-being of France and to the general peace of Europe."
This address was then voted by acclamation, and a vote of
thanks having been passed'to the Noble Chairman, the meeting
separated. The address was in a few minutes signed by several
hundred names.

THE BRIDPORT ELECTION
• COMMITTEE.
The General Committee of Electiofia met yesterday► at three
o'clock, in Room No. 3, present—Lord Granville Somerset,
Mr. Loch, and Mr. W. Patten, to fix the members of a Select
Committee for examining the petition presented to the House=
against the return of Mr. Baillie Cochrane for the borouglt.
of Bridport.

The Committee so appointed is to be constituted as follows
—Mr. C. Wood (chairman), Mr. B. Escott, Sir W. Somer-
ville, Lerd C. Hamilton, and Lord Dalmeny.
These Members will be sworn to-day, and will meet to
morrow at eleven o'clock for the dispatch of business.
Mr. B. Cochrane, it will be remembered, carried the repree
sentation by the small majority of 1, and after the announce--
went of the Mayor it was very confidently stated among the:'
friends of Mr. Romilly, the opposing candidate, that a mis—
take had been made in the poll-books, which, if corrected,'
would have turned the election.

We observe that a second volume of Lord Brougham's'
"Lives of Men of Letters and Science, who flourished'
during the reign of George III.," is announced to appear in
few days. It will be published by Mr. Colburn. The volume'
will comprise the lives of Dr. Johnson, Adam Smith, (with
an analytical view of his great work), Gibbon, Sir Joseph
Banks, Lavoisier, and D'Alembert.
Mr. Jones, carver and gilder, of this city, has in his

when her Majesty expressed herself much pleased with the feathered
curiosity.—Rath Chronicle.

request.

IRE " No HOUSE" or IfoxpAr.—The names of Mr'
Lockhart and Lord John Chichester were by mistake omitted
among the list of those present, which appeared in our TuesdaY's
impression. •
• Yesterday morning some thousands of brent geese
passed this town, about a mile at sea. There was a continuoas
stream of them for at least two hours ; and their course was focal
east to west. Our fishermen say that their passage is indicative inf
stormy weather. Porpoises were also seen planing about the Chain
Pier at the saute tlme.—Brighton Gazette of Thursday.
ANCIENT EIORNS.—A correspondent to a morning
paper announces that in excavating the ground at Goulstone-squal
Whitechapel, for the large tank for the tint model establishment of
public baths and washhouses, the workmen came to a stratum e_
the horns of cattle, covering an area of at least fifty feet square, and
varying from three to four feet in thickness. How, when, and wt.,'
can this large deposit of horns have been made ? They are gene-
rally of a large size, and do not appear to have been broken when
they were deposited. It must be long since, probably centuries, that
they can have been thrown aside in suck numbers as valueless. The'
discovery is an unfortunate one for the committee who are construct-
ing the baths and washhouses, as it necessarily adds considerably to
their expense in making the tank.
A SMALL RATE.—On Thursday morning a vestry—
meeting was held in the vestry-room of Christchurch, Blackfriars-•
read, to make a Minister's rate ; the Rector, the Rev. Mr. Mapleton-0
in the chair. Mr. Churchw:rden Powell said, they were required ea
pay the Rector the sum of 601, annually ; that last year the rate
was made at three-eighths of a penny in the pound, 301. of whic.ll-
- to be collected. Besides this, there was a balance Dr
hand ; therefore a rate of one farthing in the pound would be sum
dent for the ensuing rate. Mr. Hobson then moved. that a
farthing rate be made, which, being agreed to, teu of the Inhabitants
then signed the deed, and the rate was declared to be duly made.
