MARKET NEW DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
This week's arrival of Wheat of home
produce, coast-
wise and by land carriage, has been but
moderate, viz.,
2,190 quarters, To-day the show of sample' was small,
the demand for most descriptions was steady. and Mon.
ly,
day's quotations were fairly supported. The beat parcels
ot ;Foreign Wheat moved off steadi at full prices;
but the middling and inferior kinds were a slow inquiry.
The imports since Saturday evening have been 11,370
quarters. Very little English Barley was on offer,
but the show of foreign qualities was en the
increase. The trade was steady, at full prices.
The show of Wheat was small, atd most kinds were in
fair requ?st at previous quotations. The Oat trade was
firm; but we have no improvement to notice in value.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour as last advised.

CHANCERY.-(TIIISr DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor resumed his sittings to-day,
after the short interval of the Easter recess.

FORD V. WASTELL.
This case stood in his Lordship's paper for judgment,
but was adjourned till this day week, in order to afford
time for further consideration of the authorities. The
question in the case relates to the opening of an enrol-
ment of a decree, and the giving of further time for the
payment off of a mortgage.
SHARPE V. TAYLOR.
The Court proceeded to hear the further arguments in
this part-beard case, which came before his Lordship be-
fore the Easter recess, upon appeal from the decision of
the Vice-Chancellor Wigram. The plaintiff and de-
fendant are merchants of Liverpool. In 1839 an Arno•
rican built ship was stranded at the mouth of the literacy,
and Taylor, in conjunction with Sharpe, pure
hased and
repaired her on a joint speculation, with a view of send-
ing her back to America to be sold. The „ship was
accordingly sent to Charleston, with a cargo, and
on
the
advice and recommendation of Mr. Robertson, the
agent
in that city, she was registered as his sole property, in
order to make a sale more practicable. Robertson
was, however, unable to effect a sale, and the ship made
two voyages between Charleston and Liverpool
on the
understanding between the parties that Taylor was to
receive from the hands of, Robertson the sums made
by freight, and account to Sharpe. No money .e.„
paid, nor account rendered, and in May, 1840, Sher e
filed his bill against Taylor and Robertson, allegin—
g thPat
they had conspired to defraud him of his share by al
lowing Robertson to assume the ownership of the vessel,
and praying that be might be declared entitled to a
moiety of the/value of the ship and the profits made
from freight, but that if it turned out on inquir—
y that
Robertson was the real owner, then that Taylor might
be ordered to account for all monies be had Jul
from Robertson to the credit of the plairttifE -11."
answer Taylor denied that the plaint4ff Is
title to the moiety of the profits, as he bad ad
Lle ii.,
but ' a very small portion of the purchaae.roon:
and ho alleged that they had no claim apea
Robertson which could . be enforced at WV, 447 they
had allowed bim to become the registered owner or 7

ship, and were at his mere), for such sums aa his

of honour and justice might induce him to concede.
lie also stated, that in point of fact no -claim could bo
enforced by 'any . party, in consequence of the • freight
teing earned.in violation of toe English us-viptiQUlSPi . . - re

The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion, on the admissions
made by Taylor in his answer, that there must be an
account of the sums received tor freight. Those ac-
counts were taken, and three decrees were subsequently
made, with which both parties were dissatisfied, and
against which both appealed.
Tne.Solicitor-General, Mr. Bethel!, and Mr. Follett
are counsel for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Wood and Mr.
Hislop Clarke for the defendants.
The arguments of Mr. Wood occupied the Court the
whole morning.

SALOMONS U. 11A9ENCLEVER. llis HoNova gave judgment to-day in this case, the
at
question in which arose out of a settlement made
' Dusseldorf, on the marriage of the daughter of Peter
Salomon,: with the defendant, Hasenclever, whereby the
father contracted to settle the third part of his estate,
according to the provisions of the Code Napoleon, for
the benefit of the husband and wife, and children of the
marriage. Mr_ Salomons a‘terwards became domiciled
in England, where he died in 1843. The remainder of
his estate came to be distributed according to the pro-
visions of a settlement made on the marriage of
another daughter, and under several voluntary deeds
subsequently made for the benefit of his family.
On the case coming on for argument, various accounts
of the estate of Mr. Salomons at the time of the Dusseldorf
settlement, and acquired subsequently, and the moneys
paid to Mr. Hasenclever, in satisfaction of the contract,
were directed, but the Court reserved its judgment on
the point of out of what fund the Dusseldorf contract
should be satisfied. His Honour this morning stated his
opinion to be that it should be made good out of the
goneral estate of the testator; and directed the minutes
to be drawn up accordingly, at the same time ordering
the case to be spoke to when the minutes were prepared.

COMMON PLE.ii.B.rius DAY.) •
TURNER V. AIEREWETHE
R.
This was an action for the publication of a libel,
charging the plaintiff with forgery and j •
action was tried before Lord Denman, in Surrey, and
The
a
verdict found-for the plaintiff for 1,000/
Application was made for a new trial, on the ground
of the absence of a material witness, named Harrison,
a surgeon, residing at Reading, in consequence
o
health. Application was made to his Lordship to post-
poneiii
the trial, but a commission had been issued two
days previously to take the evidence of that witness.
He refused to do so. Secondly, on the ground that the
damages wero excessive. And, thirdly, on the ground
that the inuendos in the declaration were not supported
by the words of the libel.
The Court granted a rule on the first point but refused
to do so on the second, considering that the damages
were not excessive, taking into account the serious
nature of the charges of forgery and perjury. ; and on
the third point they deferred their decision until they
had looked into the affidavits.—Rule granted upon two
points.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
There was only one case set down for hearing this
day. The jury were detained for some time, none of
the parties being in attendance—at length the attorney
sent word that the case was settled. The jury com-
plained of this, as forty-eght are summoned, and any
absentee is liable, not only to be fined, but to be called
upon to serve at the Central Criminal Court. The
attorney gets his costs, but the jury and officers of the
Court are put to inconvenience without any remunera-
tion. The complaint has frequently been made by the
jury, who are all tradesmen in the city, to whom time
is particularly valuable, but hitherto no remedy has
been found.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE gold several county
Magistrates.).
.. . _

The Court was detained a considerable time, after its
sitting, in consequence of prosecutors and witnesses not
being in attendance. In all cases that were not ready
at ten o'clock, the Court ordered the expenses to be re-
fused. Several policemen, however, applied in the
course of the morning to have their particular cases ex-
cepted from that order, on the ground that the prisoners
in their charge had only been committed yesterday.
The Court allowed these officers their expenses.
The remainder of the calendar was gone through, but
it contained only charges of petty larceny, which pre-
sented no feature of the slightest public interest.

THE CHARTIST MEETING IN

ED INB URGH.

The Chartist demonstration, held on the Calton
Hill, on Monday evening, proved a total failure.
There might have been 600 or 700 persons on the
hill; but, owing to the unfavourable weather, the
meeting adjourned to the hall in Adam- square, where,
after the assembly had been kept waiting a consider-
able time for the committee, a memorial to the Queen,
praying her Majesty to dissolve the present Par-
liament, was ultimately adopted.
Delegates were then appointed to represent the
Scotch Chartists in the great " National Assembly,"
to be held in this metropolis on the Ist of May.
