SHERIFFS' COURT,-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCEELL.)
EVANS V. SCRIVENER.---FALSE IMPRISONMENT IN BETH-
LEM HOSPITAL ON THE GROUND OF INSANITY.
This was an ection brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages for false imprisonment in Bethlan Hospital,
on the ground that he was insane.
Mr. HORRY stated the case for the plaintiff, and from
his statement it appeared that plaintiff and defendan,
were brother and sister. Ia December, 1841, plaintiff
carried on business as a mercer at Sheffield and Not-
tingham, and a family di,pute having arisen, the de-
fendant, it was alleged, had maliciously, and without
any reasonable cause, occasioned the incarceration of
the plaintiff, as stated he the declaration, and he was
confined for three months. The Learned Counsel said
that the only reason that could be assigned for such a
wanton and cruel act was to prevent the plaintiff from
proceeding with an action against the family. In ex
planation of the length of time since the trans-
action occurred, it was stated that the action was brought,
but in consequence of its having been placed in the office
of Mr. Barber, whose affairs were thrown into a state of
great confusion, additional delay occurred.
Sir Alex. Morrison was called to prove the plaintiff's
sanity, but he was not in attendance.
Mr. HORRY said that the defendant had suffered judg-
ment to go by default, and thereby admitted the facts in
the declaration, and did not appear even to address the
jury in mitigation.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said the case was laid before
them i❑ a very hare state, but the plaintiff was entitled
to a verdict, but for what amouut it was the province of
the jury to decide.
The jury gave a verdict for 501.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.—We understand that the
Queen has signified her intention to visit the Exhibition
some Saturday during the hours before the public are ad-
mitted, when all exhibitors will be invited to be present
and in their places, to answer any inquiries which her
Majesty may desire to make respecting articles exhibited by
them. No doubt notice will be given to the exhibitors of
the day which the Queen may be pleased to appoint.

ACCIDENT TO MR. GRAHAAL —Letters from Malta
dated 12th of April, mention a frightful accident that bad
just occurred to a ton of Sir James Graham, serving as naval
cadet on board her Majesty's ship Queen. It appears that
Mr. Graham, who is a remarkably fine enterprising boy,
was sh,,wing off ss)ine feats of activity with his young mess-
mates aloft, when, missing his hold, he fell from the misen-
top to the deck, fortunately catching a rope that in son-.e
degree checked the violence of the descent, We were glad
to hear last night that, although much hurt, the young stif-
ferer was progress ng favourably.—A large party, amongst
whom were the B.shop of Gibraltar, General and Mrs. El.
lice, had j ust sailed in the Merlin steamer for Palermo.

The Austrian Finance Minister has summoned MM.
DE ROTHSCHILD and SINA to consult as to the best
moans of controlling the fluct"..ltions in the value of
the gold end silver currency. This has had a favour-
able effect on the Bourse.

ITALY.
Letters from Genoa of the 23d state that although
no more cases of malignant carbuncle have occurred
in that port, the Sanitary Council of Naples has di-
rected that arrivals from the former shall be subjected
to a quarantine of fourteen days.
The theatre of Reggio (Modena) was burnt down
on the 21st. Fortunately it was empty at
so that no further accident occurred.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
At Liverpool yesterday, the sales of Cotton were
4,000 bales, and the market was fiat.—Shares were not
quite so good.
There are no late ship arrivals to-day.
Accounts from Amsterdam of the 29th April state
that business had been very animated, but at lower rates
for Dutch Stock. Mexican Bonds were firm.
Not only the Stock Exchange and the Bank of Eng-
land are closed, but a large number of shops, and the
Mincing-lane Markets. This afternoon is expected to
be almost a close holiday. The Directors of the Bank
of England do not meet.

Ina report from Manchester by Messrs. McNair,
Greenhow, and Irving, upon the state of the piece goods
market, we find the following:—
" Owing to the action of the cotton market and the
influences arising from that and other causes, which pre-
viously we have pointed out, you will be prepared to
learn that from the commencement to the close of the
month, interrupted only by a momentary feeling of
alleviation, this market has been characterized by gra-
dually increash.g dulness and depression, accompanied
by a material decline in the value of twist and cloth."
