mornings

SHEFFIELD V. VON DONNOT.

This case stood en his Honour's paper to-day for
judgment, but the Court postponed giving it to a future
day.

HOLYOAK V. THE BIRMINGHAM AND SHREWSBURY RAIL-
WAY COMPANY.

His HONOUR having intimated yesterday, that it was
his opinion that the plaintiff should bring an action
in this case, and that it should be tried at the
next assizes, the case was put on the paper
to-day is order to enable the parties to agree
upon certain admissions. After some considerable dis-
cussion this morning the matter ended by the plaintiff
being ordered to bring an action at the next Gloucester
Assizes, to ascertain whether the case was in the opinion
of a jury one for nominal or substantial damages, the
declaration in that action to be made before Tuesday
next, and an interim injunction to issue until the result
of that action was known.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Glennan and William M'Queen, two lads,
were charged before Mr. Hammond, with stealing a lace
shawl from the shop of Mr. Jackson, silk-mercer, &c.,
Islington-green. It appeared that on Tuesday evening,
about nine o'clock, the prisoners were observed by a boy
named Higgins, to be lurking about the shop; and
knowing that they were reputed theives, he watched
them, and at length saw Glennan take from the door-
way what he supposed to be a black veil; he handed it
to the other prisoner, and they both ran off in different
directions. Higgins gave an alarm instantly, but the
prisoners for that time got clear off. Being known, they
were found yesterday, and taken into custody. They
denied all knowledge of the theft.
The shawl was found to have been pledged on Wed
nesday morning by a female, and to give the police
time to trace her, the case was remanded to Tuesday.

The. Hon. Miss Sidney's new novel will be cer-
tainly published in a few days. It is entitled "Sadness
and Gladness," a story of the present day, and is, we
hear,
likely to render this successful writer more popu-
lar than even her first work, " Home and its Influence."
SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING.—Last evening a sug-
gestion for the preservation of life during thunder-
storms was made by Mr. Isham Beggs, in the course of
his lectures upon the Phenomenon of Lightning, now
being delivered at the Royal Polytechnic Institution.
" Those," said the lecturer, " who don't mind being
drenched by rain, may effectually screen themselves
from the possibility of danger, when walking through a
town or city in a thunder-storm, by catching hold of a
lamppost—as the pipes running under ground, must
necessarily carry off the electricity, and thereby save
the passer-by from destruction." He challenged any
scientific man to deny the accuracy of this suggestion.
THE CHARTIST CONVICTS.—Yesterday 20s. was
paid at the gate of Tothill-fields House of Correction 1
to release Mr. Ernest Jones for one month from oakum
picking, to which he has been, in common with his
fellow Chartist convicts, subjected since his incarcera-
tion, and will be in default of the payment of a weekly
sum of 55., the charge made by the county for his
maintenance.
BALLS AND SHELLS FROM RVSS/A.—A vessel ar-
rived in the river from Odessa has brought, as a portion
of hor cargo, between two and three thousand of old
balls and shells, consigned to order. a

T NEWS.-fTHIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and
samples, have been seasonably good, and of full average
quality. The show of samples to-day exceeding the
wants of the buyers, whose attendance was somewhat
limited; the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce was in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's
prices. The best parcels of Foreign Wheat were mostly
disposed of, at late rates. I❑ the middling and inferior
kinds next to nothing was doing, and prices were with
difficulty supported. Scarcely a sample of English Bar-
ley was.in the market, but the show of foreign was good.
The trade was heavy, and the quotations ruled in favour
of the buyers. Malt, the supply of which was moderate,
moved off slowly, at barely late figures. The Oat trade
was in a very depressed state, and, in some instances,
prices were quite 6d per quarter lower. Beans, Peas,
Indian Corn, and Flour, very dull.
