COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY).

(Sittings in 8a;,c0.)
TEAGUE V. WARD.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney,
to recover from the defendant the amount of a bill of
costs for business done. The cause was tried on Thurs.
day last, before Mr. Ju,tice Park, when a verdict was had
for the defendant.

Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS this morning moved for a
rule to show cause why that verdict should not he set
aside and a new trill granted. it appeared that in the
year 1832 the defendant became the purchaser of certain
property from a person named Sangster, who entered
into an agreement to execute a conveyance of the
property at his oven cost. Before this agreement
was carried into effect, so far as related to the execution of
the conveyance, Sangster became bankrupt, and the
defendant applied to and gave a retainer to the plaintiff as
his professional man to obtain him redress. In consequence
of a difficulty arising in the mind of the plaintiff on the
e instruction of the new Bankruptcy Act as applicable to
the facts of the case, the opinion of a gentleman of the Chan-
cery Bar was asked as to the best course to be pursued. The
advice of that gentleman was followed, and two petitions
were presented to the Court of Review, the first praying
the Court to direct a specific performance of the
agreement by the assignees of the bankrupt, and
in case they should make their election to retain
the property, the second petition prayed that the
defendant might he at liberty to prove upon ti e bank
rupt's estate for the amount of the purchase money and
interest. It was fur the business thus done by the plaintiff
that the action was now brought ; and the defence set up
was, that the plaintiff, in pursuing this course, which
had proved unavailing fur its ohject, had been guilty ti
neglivence, and was not entitled to recover. On the trial
of the cause, the gentleman of the bar, whose opinion
had been taken, was called as a witness, and in the course
of his examination he was asked it, in the instructions
which he had received from the plaintiff, his atten
tion had been drawn to a pre existing mortgage,
which over-rid the property in question. The an-
swer to that inquiry wad, that he has no recollec-
tion of that circumstance,, but if he bad been apprised of

A THIRD ATTEMPT OP DUII.I.S, THE
FRENCH USHER, TO DESTROY HlMSELF.—Saturthiy
morning Severin Dumas, the French usher, whose name
was connec,ed with the melancholy death of Nliss
at Barnes, and who was admitted in.o St. George's
Hospital on Wednesday last, made another attempt to
terminate his life. One of the muses in the ward heard
a noise resembling the dropping of water, and on ap-
proaching the bed of Dumas she found the clothes satu-
rated wi,h blood, which was dropping from them on the
floor. It appeared thst the unfbrtunate man removed
the bandages during the ni4ht from his arms, and tore
open the wound with his fingers. The hEemorrhage was
stopped as soon as possible, and the unhappy min placed
under restraint. He declared in an impassioned tone he
was resolved, in spite of every obstacle, to bleed himself
to death. He is not expected to recover.

The members of the Carlton, or rather, as
they designate themselves, Conservative Club, are prepar_
ing to build a new house upon a large scale, upon the
vacant ground near the residence of Mr. Evans, the
bookseller, in Pall Mill. The Commissioners of \Voods
and Forests have permitt,cl the Club to occupy Lord
Kensington's house, on Carlton-terrace, until the new
mansiva is finished.

One of the conspirators connected with
Ankerstrom, who assassinated the King of Sweden, still
survives, and is a resident in the environs of Paris. We
have recently seen a letter from a celebrated French Ge-
nerd, the undeviating advocate of Republican principles,
in which this fact is stated.

About eight o'clock last evening, as the ca-
briolet 840, having in it three females, was proceeding at
a moderate pace along the east side of Russell-square, the
shafts suddenly snapped front the body, and the weight
inside causing it to fall back, the passengers were thrown
with great violence on their heads in tl,e top or cover.
Providentially, though their bonnets, &c., were completely
spoiled, neither of them was seriously hurt, but the cab
was smashed almost to atoms.

The Earl of Jersey was, during many years,
the greatest favourite and most confidential friend of his
late Majesty George the Fourth, when Prince of Wales,
especially in a'l his betting operations on the turf, although
the stud of his Royal Highness was under the immediate
direction of the late Peter Delme, Esq. Even after the
late Countess of Jersey ceased to he a favourite at Carlton
House, her son, the present Earl, for a length of time
retained his supremacy in the affections of the Prince.
The health of the Hon. Miss Brougham, the
favourite and only daughter of the Lord Chancellor, is, we
understand, completely restored by her residence at
Brighton; the saline breezes on the West Cliff are pecu-
liarly favourable to indisposition similar to that of this
exceedingly clever and interesting child.
INQUEST ON ALDERMAN PURCIIAS.—On
Saturday last an inquest was held before Mr. Chevell,
Coroner, on the body of Mr. Alderman Purchas. of Cain-
bridge. Dr. Thackeray sworn—This morning, about 10
minutes before 9, I was rt quested to go to Mr. Purchas's.
I found the deceased in his study, lying on his track like a
man in an apoplectic fit ; but, front a suggestion of one of
the servants, I was induced to look at his neck, and saw
Vie mark of a cord, which, in connexion with what I had
previously heard, convinced toe that the deceased had de-
stroyed himself. I sent for Mr. Abbott, the surgeon,
thinking it best to have his opinion also. I have profes-
sionally attended deceased for a long time; his bodily
complaints were, an intense pain in the head, and costive-
ness. It wis his constant apprehension that lie was sur-
rounded by enemies, and I was apprehensive of the way in
which he would leave us ; I warned his family, and I am
aware that they used every precaution ;hnt deceased would
never let any one be in his room. He has been so 'nea-
p ible of doing business of any hind, that I advi'ed his
iends to make him wit;tdravv from all put affairs. 1
sincerely believe that this act was done in a fit of insanity.
Th- jury returned a verdict—" Toat the deceased put an
end to his existence in a fit of insanity." The remains of
Mr. Alderman Purchas were interred in the Lundy vaiilt
at Trinity Church, at S o'clock yesterday morning.—

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET—Nov 9.3•

Our farmers' supply of Wheat to-day was not so large as o
late, and having a good demand from our millers, the whole
sold readily at an advance of about Is. per quarter. For Oats
there was also a better demand at an advance of 6d. to Is. per
quarter. The arrivals of Barley to our market this week have
been very large, and sales have in consequence been difficult
at a decline of full 9.5. per quarter. Not much doing in Malt,
but with little change in value. Fine Rye sells readily. Pease,
if breakers, wanted, hut none offering. Little doing in Beans.
Flour, dull sale, and lower Is. per sack.
