TALLow._p. Y. C. is firm at 45s to 45s 6d per cwt. on
,he spot.

COTTON—There has been no alteration.
FRUIT.—The want of arrivals is severely felt, and
until a change of wind takes place, none can be ex-
pected. The market is completely bare of all kinds,
and as at this period of the year a good demand gene-
rally exists, the deficiency of stock is seriously telt.
A small cargo of Chesnuts, ex Queen Victoria, from
St. Maio, sold at public sale, by Keeling and
Hunt, went at a considerable advance upon the
price obtained for a previous cargo. The article
being scarce and the cold weather being favour-
able to the consumption. Lemons are very scarce, not a
package being in the market for sale. Arrivals are daily
expected, and the same remark may be applied to
oranges. Spanish nuts have advanced ss. per barrel,
very few remaining in first hands. New Barcelona are
enquired for. The stock of old is redoool to a small
quantity, and held firmly at 445. per bag.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF SMITH—IPSWICII
AND BURY ST. EDMUND'S RAILWAY COMPANY.
Sir FREDERICK THESIGER moved for a rule nisi, call-
ing upon the prosecutor to show cause why the manda-
mus issued in this case should not be quashed. He
moved upon affidavits which represented that in June
last a mandamus was issued against the Ipswich and
Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company, requiring them
to execute cei tain works on their line of railway in the
parish of Thurston, in ahe county of Norfolk, in accord-
ance with the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act, but
since the mandamus had been received the law officer of
the company had discovered that it commanded the exe-
cution of works which were in no way referred to in the
affidavits made in support of the issuing of the writ, and
of which the company had never received any notice
whatever. Now, he contended that it was not compe-
tent for a party to obtain a mandamus for certain works
and then extend its
_commands to matters which had
never been brought before the Court, or alluded to in the
notice served upon the defendants. He had not been
able to find any case bearing upon the point, but he ap-
prehended the writ ought to be quashed upon
principle, and as the point was a new one,
he hoped the Court would have no difficulty
in granting the rule. But there was another
ground upon which he relied, which although of a more
formal character was not less fatal to the validity of the
writ than his previous objection. In July, 1847, an Act
was passed amalgamating this company with the Eastern
Union Company, and in accordance with the provisions
of that Act the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway
Company ceased to exist in February last. The Act
provided that on and after the granting of a certificate
for the purpose by the Railway Commissioners, which
was issued in the month just mentioned, the name of the
Eastern Union Railway Company should be substituted
in place of the names of the two dissolved companies,
and all writs, precepts, and commands were required to
be directed to them only in that name. Now this man-
damus was directed to the Ipswich and Bury St. Ed-
mund's Company at a time when the provisions of that
Act had come into operation.
Mr. Justice PATTESON_—Then there was no such
company.
Sir F. THESIGER said there certainly was not, and re-
marked that this case was like issuing a mandamus to a
dead person. There was no one to make a return to it.
Mr. Justice PATTESON granted the application and
enlarged the time for making the return to the writ of
mandamus.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY•)
(Before Mr. Sceondary JAMES.)
OAKEY v. TUBBS,

for goods sold and delitre:ee.. Defendant having suffered
judgment to go by theaalt,t his was Su inquiry as to the

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The total .qaantity of English Wheat received up to
our market this week coastwise has :been only 1,310
quarto rs. By land carriage the receipts huve been
trifling in the extreme; hence the show of samples hero
to-day was very small. The finest qualities of both red
and white moved off slowly, at Monday's quota!ions.
AU other kinds were a mere drug, and somewhat easier
to purchase. The arrivals of foreign Wheat have fallen
off, yet they have proved seasonably good. The want of
au in:and consumptive demand had a depressing in-
fluence upon the trade. Although we have no actual
decline to notice in prices, large parcels might
have been had at ls. per quarter less money. The
supply of English Barley was not large, yet it was more
than equal to the wants of the buyers. All kinds were
very (mil of sale at barely stationary prices. Malt was
in short supply and heavy inquiry. Late prices were
with difficulty obtained for any quality. Oats, Beans,
and leas were very dull. The latter article, owing to
the Lirge imports from abroad, was is per quarter lower.
Flour was the turn cheaper.

• SMITIZZIELD.
Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with
Beasts, nearly two-thirds of which were of very middling
quality; nevertheless, the Beef trade was exceedingly
heavy, at almost nominal currencies. At least a moiety
of the Beasts were driven away unsold. With both
English and Foreign-fed Sheep, the pens were by no
means well filled, the total number being only 4,490
head; yet the butchers purchased that description of
stock with extreme caution, and where sales took place,
rather loner rates were submitted to by the salesmen.
The supply of Calves was on the increase, owing to
which, the Veal trade was heavy, at a decline of 2d per
8 11m% In Figs, very little business was transacted, at
our quotations. Mulch Cows sold at from 14l to 17151
each, including their small Calf.

As the growers havenot forwarded liberally, the sup-
ply of new Hops on sale to-day was but moderate. The
best samples moved off steadily at fully last week's quo-
tations, bet all other kinds commanded very little atten-
tion. Yearling and old Hops, which may be had at
greatly reduced prices, are almost nominal in value.
New Hops:—Sussex pockets, 44s to 60s ; Weald of
Kent ditto, 48s to 70s ; Mid and East Kent ditto, 564
to 107 s; and Farnhams, 107 s to 112 s per cwt.
