E MARKET NEWS.-(THIS " DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-010NDAY.)
Tha announcement .of the failure of a large malster at Ware, in
Herefordshire, whose liabilities on this market are upwards of 12,000'.,
cast a gloom over the proceedings here, especial y as it is known that
the Government is indebted in a large sum for duties. Burin,- the
past week up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of English Wheat
were, comparatively speaking, somewhat on the increase, yet they
were by no means seasonably large. Of English Barley and Malt
the receipts were very extensive, those of all other grain 4- home pro-
duce moderate. Of Irish Oats, the arrivals were
small ; but from abroad, upwards of 15,000 quarters, on
which itis probable the duty will be paid—came to hand.
The fresh supply of foreign Wheat and Flour has been good; but,
under present cireumstances, it has been landed in bond. From Es-
sex a fair average quantity of Wheat came to hand, coastwise as well
as by land-carriage, and samples, but that from Kent, Cambridge-
shire, &c., was small. Although the attendance of buyers was rather
large, the demand for that article was not to say brick ; nevertheless,
the finest qualities of both Red and White moved off steadily, at very
full prices. In other kinds but few sales were effected, at last Monday's
quotations; yet a fair clearance was effected prior to the close of the mar-
ket. The shag of free ftinig4WheittWa4

WANDERINGS OF A PEN-AND PENCIL

Pleasant wandcrings are these; and choice, sun-lipped
companions .are Masters Crovvquill and Palmer. The
pen is smartly nibbed for the nonce, and the pencil ever-
pointed. Though the woods be seductive for a descrip-
tion, the old ruinous monastic buildings which nestle in
all sorts of nooks in this our "merry England" seem to
offer greater attractions to the pilgrims d-literature and
art, and precious coifes of anecdote and millions of
legend do they rake up from amongst the moss and the
green stones. Then, for example,, at page 168, is the
veritable chamber of Alexander Pope, at Stanton Har-
court, the roan ,in which he finished he fifth volume of
his Homer. Think of that good reader! the very room
in which our rare, dainty, music-tongued, irritable little
poet bath often donned his slippers and snoozed off into
a dream of bueolics. For more particulars upon this
and divers other curiosities, we commend thee to the
good company of Alfred Crowquill.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAN.)

(Before Mr. Justice IV IGIIT3IAN.)
The Court was occupied the greater
,part of this day with
two cases—one, an action for the recovery of an attorney's
bill of costs; and the other an action of ejectment, but nei-
ther was of the least public interest.

EXCHEQUEI4.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court was occupied this morning with the new trial
paper. The greater part of the day was spent in hearing
the arguments on a case relating to a notice on a dishonoured
bill, but it possessed no feature of public interest.

COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.)I
(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and a Special Jury.)
GAMBLE V. KURTZ.
_ _ _

' The further hearing of this case, which commenced on
Saturday afterm on, was resumed this morning, Mr. Sergeant
Channel', Mr. Sergeant Bytes,. and Mr. (3.mling appearing
fur the plaintiff; and Mr. W. D. Hill, QC., Mr. Webster,
and Mr. Atherstone fir .the defendant. The action is insti
tuted by the plaintiff tir the recovery of damages arising out
of the alleged infringement of
.a patent effecting an improve-
ment in the furnaces used in the manufacture of muriatic
acid and sulphate of soda (Glauber salts), out of muriate of
soda (common salt), and sulphuric acid.
In suppoit of the improvement effected in the furnaces,
and the general case of the plaintiff, Mr. Cooper, leciurer on
chemistry, and several other witnesses, were called, in
answer to which it was contended that the process em-
ployed by the defendant, though an improvement on the old
method of making the chemicals in question, was not a copy
of the plaintiff's mode, and did not agree with the specifica-
tion of his patent. The whole of theforenoon was occupied
by counsel for the defence, urging that there was not a
sufficient ease, on the part of the plaintiff, to go to the jury,
but this being overruled by the Court, the calling of wit-
nesses on behalf of the deftndant was proceeded with. The
case is not expected to close to-day.

CRIMINAL CO U.ItT.-(T HIS DAY.)
(Bcfure Mr. Baron RoLFE.)
The Court was occupied all day with a charge of mis-
demeanour, preferred against John tinehin, Edward Mackay,
John Dodd, Jchn Sme'air, and John Ireland, fire persons
connected with the Waterman's Steam-packet Company. The
indictment was founded on some squabble between the above
Company and the Corporation of London; the former claim-
ing the right to land their passengers- at the new Blackfriare-
pier, or, tailing that, the power of mooring a floating pier off
Paul's-stairs. • The Corporation resisted both claims,- and
hence the riot that led to the present trial.
Mr. Seijeant Wilkins. Mr. Ryland, Mr. Prendergast, and
Mr. Laurie, appeared fur the Corporation, and Mr. Montagu
Chambers, with Mr. Wylde, attended fur the defence.
The case is expected to last till a late hour.

CHURTOYS LITERARY REGISTER.

A fantastic assortment of queer things is the opening
article of this number, not inaptly st)led " The New
Curiosities of Literature." It groups together nearly
every superstition and "legende hoary" in connexion
with the month of February : it offers us some bits of
antiquarian and scholarly information of the " blood
bads" used by the ancient Romans fir purifying the
victims of Elephantiasis, or, as it is commonly called, the
white leprosy. It submits to our notice some fragments
from Dekker, descriptive of " moon-men," or half-
witted persons, with sundry other eccentric gleanings
from old folios, breathing of dust and cobwebs—smelling
anciently and wormeaten—a resuscitation of Sir Cor-
nelius Agrippa. In the after portion of the miscellany
there is scarcely a single publication that has appeared
svithin the past four weeks but what is mentioned in
some sort critically. The literature altogether is su-
perior, and the Register deserves patronage.

Committee No. 1.

The Committee met again at twelve o'clock this day, Mr.
Strutt, Chairmax. The proceedings commenced by taking
the adjourned case of the

NOZTX STAPPOR.DSHXXJI (POTTERIZS)

ZING.

Mr. COATES opened the case for the petitioner Mr. Joseph,
Keys, against the subscription contract. He had to explain
to the Committee the nature of the allegation which he was
of opinion would net fail to upset the case for the promoters.
The contract deed was not an invalid deed, inasmuch as the
trustee, Mr. Garrett, was a subscriber to the capital, and
therefore he could not see upon the covenant of the deed. In
that very room on Thursday last, a decision was come to
in the case of the Ayrshire and Galloway, upon the very
same ground. The allegation was just of the same character,
and he could not see how the Committee could come to any
other decision in the present instance. It was held in law
that no partner could sue his co-partners for any expenditure
in the outlay of their business. In the very exact position
was the present deed. Take away Mr. Garrett altogether,
and then the case was still the same, for the other trustee,
though not a shareholder, coupnot sue either himself or his
partner, Mr. Garrett. The Act binds two trustees to carry
out a certain contract; one of the trustees was a shareholder
in the scheme, and the co-trustee,who was not a shareholder,
was answerable for the liabilities of his partner to the deed, and
therefore, if he were to sue Mr. Garrett, he would in reality
be cueing himself and his partner. This deed was, he would
not deny,per se, a valid deed, so far as the capital of the Com-
pany was concerned, but as far as the protection of the public
was concerned, there was no power under the present deed
to enforce the principles of that contract, and, consequently,
the public might suffer. Having thee the decision of a Com-
mittee on hit side in an analogous case, having common
sense on his side, and having the law on his side, he trusted
that the Committee would see that the standing orders had
not been complied with on the part of the promoters.

LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1846.

When Sir ROBERT PEEL introduced hisfirfeignsotrnew tariff
others
arti-
cles by which the duty on a large variety of
ales was totally abolished, and that on many
greatly reduced, an outcry was raised by certain classes
against the scheme. Native industry, it was said, would
thereby be discouraged, a preference given to foreigners
most injurious to the Bid-working and highly-taxed
lingliah mechanic and tradesman, and a great many other
calamities were foreboded which, happily, have not been
realised. Indeed, the number of articles imported under
tee new tariff are so extremely small, that the parties
who raised such objections must look back with
little self-complacency on what they regarded
as deep foresight, and a knonleOge of the pmci-
plea of trade and commerce from which such theorists
a HIISHISSON ana PEEL were entirely debarred. Ex-
rience has shown that all these apprehensions were
totally. unfounded, and that the importation of foreign
articles in consequence of the row duties could not hzve

SPALDING, LINCOLNSHIRE

FREEHOLD BREWERY, with 25 INNS, PUBLIC, and BEER.
HOUSES, &c.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received instructions
from the Proprietor to offer for SALE by AUCTION,
at the New Bell Inn, Spalding, on THURSDAY, Feb. 12, at Two in
the afternoon, in 28 Lots,

The ALBION BREWERY, situate in Double-street, Spalding,
comprising a convenient residence (occupied by Mr. Proctor, who
has the management of the concern), a paved yard inclosed from
the street by folding gates, in which is the brewhouse, with tun
rooms and extensive malt and hop chambers, counting-house,
cooper's shop, and cask sheds. Across the lane leading to the
river is a spacious store room, large yard approached from Albert-
street by folding gates, an excellent maithouse with 16-quarter steep,
two working floors, kiln, and screening room, with barley chambers
of ample dimensions, waggon and dray shed, coal•house, &c. ; also
a well-house, in which is a well affording an abundant supply of
excellent water to the brewery and malthouse. These buildings are
brick-built and slated, and in a very perfect state of repair; they
possess a commanding frontage of nearly 260 feet to the river
Welland, which communicates with Stamford, and is navigable
to the sea, thus the property must always be exceedingly valuable
from its great extent and the facilities afforded by the cheap
transit of water carriage; and the brewery buildings and yard
at a very moderate outlay might be rendered available for any
other mercantile business; together with twenty-five inns, public
and beer.hossaes, &c., situate in Spalding, Pinchbeck, Ooaberton,
Donington, Thurlby, Weston, Moulton, Whaplode, Holbeach,
Fleet, Gedney, and Crowland. Three fifths of the purchase money
ou any of the Lots may remain on the mortgage thereof at four per
cent. per annum.
" '

Particulars of the property (which may be viewed on application
to the respective tenants) may be obtained of Messrs. J. R. Carter
and Son, solicitors, Spalding ; of Mr. William Proctor, who will
show the home premises; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, estate,
brewery, and distillery agent, &c., Bucklersbury.

PICTORIAL GALLERY OF ARTS.

Mr. Knight here brings the first volume of this spi-
rited series to a conelusim; and, considering its exceed-
ing cheapness, it may number among the many marvels of
typographical and illustrative art that have issued from
the press of late ycars. It is an undertaking deserving
of all praise and all Encouragement, as one like.y to foster
a love for the higher deScriptions of art among the mul-
titude : it forms in itself a kind of moveable " National
Gantry." The frontispiece is a curiosity ;itis a copy
from a piece of tapestry in the possesion of Lord
Brougham, taken from the renowned " Virgin in the
Chair," of Raphael. The colouring of this plate is
brilliant; it is a good example of chromatic effect, at
once dazzling and subdued.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
The CrIAIRMAN said he remembered one case of last ses•
sion which was similar to the point now raised. In that
case one of Ate trustees was himself a shareholder, but there
was this difference, that without the sum for which he was
bound there was more than ample capital. Ile referred to
the Eastern Counties7(Norsvich Extension.)
Mr. llunicE—ln the present case he had to say that the con-
tract deed was perfectly valid. It had been held good, in
many decisions in a court of law, that where a co-trusteeship
existed, one trustee could recover from the others, under cer-
tain regulations of the deed. Now, in the case
for the promoters of the present Lill, there was
one person who had signed the covenant who was
not a subscriber to the undertaking, and that made it quite
competent for him to sue the other trustee or the whole Com-
pany. This bad been decided over and over again in courts
of law.
Mr. COATES replied, after which the room was cleared,
and having consulted the Speaker,
The ettArremasr said that Committee had considered the
case which had been argued at such length, but understand-
ing that exceptions had been taken to the decieien of last
week by the agents who were interested for the cases
which had been alluded to by Mr. Coates, they
were anxious to take the opinion of the Chairman
of the Sub-Committees who would meet on Thurs-
day aril consider the question raised. The Committee were
quits prepared to give their own opinion on the allegation,
but it would be no doubt more prudent to wait a consultation
of the Chairman, after which they would immediately decide
the point at issue. •

The past week's arrivals of slaughtered meat from Scotland and
various parts of England have been, the time of year considered,
limited, but of full average quality. With meat killed in the metro-
polio we have been rather scantily supplied. Generally speaking,
the demand has ruled steady, and previous rates have been .well
supported. A few carcases of foreign Beasts and Sheep have_been

During the past week the arrivals of Potatoes at the water-side
(though somewhat on the increase) have been but moderate, the
time of year. considered. By railway, however, the receipt* have
beenmoderately extensive; while irom the Continent about 400 tons
have come to band in middling condition, From Slew York twenty
barrels have reached us, per the Northumberland. Owing chiefly to
the large supply of green vegetables on offer, the demand for most
kinds of Potatoes is inactive, and many of our quotations must be
considered almoot nominal. York Reds may be quoted at from 80s
to 1309 ; Old Regents, 30s to 1109 ; Scotch Reds, 50s to 805; Jersey

THE TONTINE LIFE ASSURANCE

(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital 4,000,000/., in 100,000 shares of tOJ. each.
The plan of this Company offers considerable and peculiar advan-
tages to the sharelvadors. In addition to the proit arising from Life
Assurance transactions, it is proposed to raise a capital of 1,00f,0001.
or upwards by the grant of Tontine Annuities in classes, to be regu-
lated by the ages of the subscribers or their nominees, which capital,
on the the *the survivor iu each class, will be divided exclusively
amon _
Th,

7-f the Tontine Annuities is as follows:—II 1,000 per-
ch, they or their respective nominees, being
zio
i kss, from 45 to 50, at which the Annuity
__ _ __ awn c4toweach subscriber or nominee will, during
he continuance of all the lives, receive aa Annuity of 61. ;
but as the lives drop, the Annuity of the deceased parties
will be divided amongst the survivors until they are reduced
to six, each of whom will then receive 1,000/. per annum for life;
hut as they respectively die off, the 1 000/. which he or she received
will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the share-
holders. - -

The classes containing younger lives will receive a lower rate of
annuity ; the older a higher rate.
This mode of investment, while It will afford ample funds for the
promotion of Life Assurance teansactiens, will further enable the
Company to guarantee to persons borrowing money upon approved
seniority, and effecting a policy of assurance, to he assigned
as a collateral secerity, that so long as the interest on the money
lent and tie premium on the policy regularly paid, the money lent
shad not be galled in till the precise amount accrues by the failure of

the life assured.

LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRITAUT 9, 1846.

When Sir ROBERT PEEL introduced his first nevf
tariff
INV, by which the duty on a large variety of foreign rti
eles was totally abolished, and that on manyoth;
er
greatly reduced, an outcry was raised by certain classes
against the scheme. Native industry, it was said, would
thereby be discouraged, a preference given to foreigners
most injurious to the hard-working and highly-taxed
English mechanic and tradesman, and a great many other
calamities were foreboded which, happily, have net been
realised. „Indeed, the number of articles imported under
the new tariff are so extnemely small, that the parties
who raised such objections must look back wth
little self-complacency on what they regarded
as deep foresight, and a knowledge of the princi-
ples of trade and commerce from which such theorists
a llorsaissort and PEEL were entirely debarred. Ex-
rience has shown that all these apprehensions were
totally unfounded, and that the importation of foreign
'rticles in consequence of the new duties could not have
tie slightest effect upon the native tradesman or pro-
guest.. From this experience, no doubt, there is almost
aporfeCt silence respecting the further reductions pro-
posed,s__for,with the exception of the Spitalfields' weavers,

PICTORIAL GALLERY OF ARTS.

Mr, Knight here brings the first volume of this spi-
rited series to a conclusiDu; and, considering its exceed-
ing cheapness, it may number among the many marvels of
typographical and illustrative art that have issued from

the press of late 3•cars. It is an undertaking deserving
of all praise and all ervouragement, as one likely to foster
a love for-the higher descriptions of art among the mul-

titude : it forms in itself a kind of moveable " National
Gallery." The frontispiece is a curiosity ;itis a copy
froin a piece of tapestry in the possesion of Lord
Brougham, taken from the renowned " Virgin in the
Chair," of Raphael. The colouring of this plate is
brilliant; it is a good example of chromatic effect, at
once dazzling and subdued.

OLD ENGLAND'S WORTHIES.
James I. (that choice bard-prisoner, in the dungeon
at Windsor Castle), Floury VI. (that weak and feeble
Monarch, familiar more with rosaries than sceptres),
'lV°lsey (that problem of party-feeling, by one regarded
as the Cardinal-virtue, by another as the Cardinal-vice
of his age)—these and others, afford excellent materials
for the Second Part of Old England's
.Worthies. The
biographical condensations are judiciously managed, and
the tone of narration is admirably impartial. When
completed, the volume will be an invaluable companion
to our native history.

CHUI?TON'S LITERARY REGISTER.
A fantastic assortment of queer things is the opening
article of this number, not inaptly staled " The New
Curiosities of Literature." h groups together nearly
every superstition and "legende hoary" in connexion
with the month of February : it Offers us some bits of
antiquarian and scholarly information of the " blood
baths" used by the ancient Romans for purifying the
victims of Elephantiasis, or, as it is commonly called, the
white leprosy. It submits'to our notice some fragments
from Dekker, descriptive of " moon-men," or half-
witted persons, with sundry other eccentric gleanings
from old folios, breathing of dust and cobwebs—smelling
anciently and wormeaten—a resuscitation of Sir Cor-
nelius Agrippa. In the after portion of the miscellany
there is scarcely a single publication that has appeared
within the past four weeks but what is mentioned in
some sort critically. The literature altogether is su-
perior, and the I?eyisfer deserves patronage.

TIES CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD RAILWAY

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition).
It wm also alleged that there were varioua other inaccura-
cies on th• line.
The CXAIRMAX said, in the case of the Oxford and Cam-
bridge Railway, the Committee were of opinion that the
standing orders had not been complied with.
LONDON AND BRIGHTON (WANDSWORTH

BRANCH) RAILWAY,
The Bill stated that the proposed railway would be of
great public benefit. There were two petitions alleging non-
compliance with the standing orders, but no one appeared in
their support.
Witnesses were then examined:to prove that the usual
forms had been complied with. The line was to pass through
Streatham, Mitcham, Tooting, and Wandsworth.
Mr. Palm said that this Bill had been thrown out by the
Committee on its merits last session. The present Bill, by
clause 39a, would not require more than 5 per cent.
The CHAIRMAN considered that it would be necessary to
prove that the present was precisely similar to that intro-
duced into Parliacsont last year.
Mr. PRITT stated that there was no material difference.
The Committee ware of opinion that the deposit of 5 per
sent. was sufficient in this case.
The remaining evidence was of the usual character, and
the Committee were of opinion that the Standing Orders had
been complied with.

THE PROSPECTIVE REVIEW.

Wholesome in its general tone, and choice in its selec-
tion of materials, this review augurs well for its prosperity.
There is a masculine character in its composition which
amounts to something short of vigour, while it enforces the
opinion of its writers almost as much as mere argument
would do by itself. A criticism upon the Chevalier
Bausen's " History of Egypt," another of " Explana-
tions," by the author of the " Vestiges of Creation," and
another on Theodore Parker's "Discourses of Religion,"
are the main articles in this fifth part. One also upon
' French Deists" is deserving of notice more for its ab-
stract intolerance than for its excellence of conception.
It is, however, one eta n of rust amidst surrounding

TBE STUDENT.

• A serious, sober, . honest serial. Partially scientific,
partiklly critical, partially devoted to light literature.
I❑ this number there are —" A Legend of Ancient
Mexico," a " Life of John Ronge," a botanical account of
" Hemlock" and its prop rti.;s, with other miscellaneous
contributions. And as the whole is devoted to the "In-
terests of Trade," it is surely to the interest of trade
that it should be supported.

brightness, and hence, possibly, requires our more
particular stigma We ascribe this solitary instance of
partiality against a creed rather to the carelessness of
the editor than to his matured purpose. Yet on this
very account, more especially, we poir4 the finger of
criticism at the blot, and warn its conductor against any
future repetition of the like, if he would propitiate the
favour of his liberal-hearted and liberal-miudt'd gene-
ration.

WANDERINGS OF A PEN AND PENCIL.
Pleasant wanderings are these; and choice, sun-lipped
companions are Mastcrs Cron quill and Palmer. The
pen is smartly nibbed for the nonce, and the pencil ever-
pointed. Though the woods ha seductive for a descrip-
tion, the old ruinous monastic buildings which nestle in
all sorts of nooks in this our "merry England" seem to
offer greater attractions to the pilgrims of literature and
art, and precious colfes of anecdote and millions of
legend do they rake up from atnongst the moss and the
green stones. Then, for example, at page 168, is the
veritable chamber of Alexander Pope, at Stanton Har-
court, the room in which he finished the fifth volume of
his Homer. Think of that good reader! the very room
in which our rare, dainty, music-tongued, irritable little
poet bath often donned his slippers and snoozed off into
a dream of kucolics. For more particulars upon this
and divers other curbsities, we commend thee to the
good company of Alfred CrowquilL

KNIGHT'S 13E1VA Y MAGAZINE.
ThouThoughinfinit.lr smaller, this new series of an old
favourite is intinit:iy superior both in appearance and
sAection Of material.; to its predecessors. All readers
of taste will feel themselves under obligations to Mr.
Knight for an alteration. so judicious, and to Mr.
Harvey also for his delicate and occasionally delicious
pictorial contributions. So
i Some morsels in this first part
teem the pencil of that eminent draughtsman are pecu-
liarly pleasing, inasmuch Ls they remind us of his
glorious achievements in the embellishment of the

however, to employ a quirk, it is in the embellishment
of the " English Knight's Entertainment." Besides the
ordinary proportion of antiquarian, or, rather, book--
wermiug matter, tales, and poetry, and reviews are inter-
spersed through the Penny Magazine, giving an addi-
tional attraction to that cluerving and popular publi-
cation.
