old were taken in at '36s 3d to 375 6d. For last three
months of the year there are sellers of new at 38s 6d to

have operated with caution. Of 100 tuns Southern and
Polar at auction, a part only found buyers at 281 108 to

a further decline has taken place—pale being offered

offering at a further decline; yet shippers and home
dealers operated with reluctance, and there is a greater
supply, the rates taken are 31s 9d to 32s on the spot.
For delivery little has been done, and there are sellers
at 32s 3d. Rape Seed Oil continues to meet with
little attention, although pale is offered at 33s to

is no decrease of supply. Only small purchases have,
been made in Cocoa Nut, and 28s to 31s is the value of
Ceylon and Cochin; there is also no decrease of stock.
The market remains in a dull state for Olive, and rates
yet incline downwards; Gallipoli is to be obtained at 89'

EXTRAORDINARY CIIARGE.
On Thursday last air, William Powell, a respectable
innkeeper, also farming his own land at Tavarney-
garreg, in Ystradgyulais, was brought up in custody at
the Petty Sessions Court, Brecon, charged with burgle-
riously breaking into the house of David Williams, at
Trecastle, in the county of Brecon. Tee peculiar and
mysterious circumstances of the case excited great inte-
rest, especially as one T. Williams, a blacksmith, had been
tried and convicted at the last assizes as the perpetrator of
the burglary, and had been removed to Woolwich, under
sentence of transportation for seven years. The principal
witness was a tinker named William Morris, who stated
that the prisoner, on the night of the burglary, brought
him to the premises of David Williams, on the pretence
of g.tting him to drive some pigs to market. Prisoner
broke into the house, and witness at once ran away.
Subsequently Williams, the blacksmith, was charged
with the burglary, and witness received from the prisoner
51. in money and a note for 101. as hush money, the pri-
soner undertaking, by influencing some of the jury, to
procure the acquittal of Williams, who, however, 1V2.:,
convicted of the offence. Witness then communicated
with the police, as he was anxious to procure the libera-
tion of Williams, whom he knew to be innocent. Several
witnesses deposed to having seen the prisoner and Morris
together on the night of the burglary, and on several oc-
casions previously and subsequently to it. It was also
shown that Morris had received the note for 101., and
other sums of money from the prisoner. David Wil-
liams, of Trecastle, repeated the evidence he had given
at the last assize relating to his house being broken
open, his being awoke from sleep, and seeing a man
having a light coming upstairs. He swore positively
now, as he did then, that the man was Tom the smith,
and that he knew him well. On cross-examination he
said he held a mortgage on the prisoner's land for 8001.,
and that the deeds were with Mr. Morgan, solicitor,
of Llandovery. The mortgage had been originally
for 6001., but he had advanced 200/. more than
twelve months since, and on that occasion the
prisoner was present when the deeds were deposited
with Mr. Morgan, and it was then understood that he
was to keep them until the prisoner should make ar-
rangement as to adjudgment. At the time of the bur-
glary he had an action of ejectment pending, which the
prisoner settled by giving a judgment two or three days
before the Brecon assizes. On re-examination witness
said that prisoner had been several times in his house on
business, but he never let him or any one see where he
kept his papers; some papers had been taken out of a
drawer on the night of the burglary, and were found in
a sieve in the back kitchen. The prisoner, who stated
that he would resOrve Ms defence, was committed for
trial.

THE DUKE OF RUTLAND AND
HIS TENANTS.
(From the Stamford Mercury.)
WALTNA.m.— The sensation caused in this place and
the district around by a general enhancement of the rents
on all the Duke of Rutland's farms in the lordship, is such
as has not been felt for some years; and, coming upon
the unhappy tenants at a time when it is impossible to
" make both ends meet;" and when the members of his
Grace's family are frequently declaring in Parliament
and elsewhere that the farmers cannot live even if they
had no rent at all to pay, the. proposed exaction is con-
sidered yet more extraordinary. How the assertions
of the Marquis of Granby and Lord John Manners
can be reconciled with the circular from the Duke's
steward announcing the increase, is a puzzle
which the sufferers have in vain attempted to
solve. What would be the effect of another agricultural
meeting et Waltham just now, is of course matter of un-
certainty; but the inns and private houses have for the last
week or two rung with grumblings both audible and deep,
and even the Conservative press of the adjoining county has
been induced to aid in the outcry. The affair is the more
remarkable, inasmuch as in 1831, when the price of wheat
was 633. a quarter, the Duke of Rutland (who has ever
been deservedly beloved throughout the locality) re-
duced the rentals in Waltham lordship to the extent
of 1,0001, whereas now that the price of wheat grown
in the district averages only 365., and many of
the farmers had last year fearfully blighted crops,
toe rents have been raised as much as 1,2001,,
or just 33 per cent. in Waltham lordship alone. And
the worst of the affair is, say the occupiers, that though
a return will be made when corn is below a certain
price, the rent is to be proportionately increased when
wheat rises beyond 545. per quarter. The following is a
copy of the steward's circular:—
"Steward's Office, Belvoir Castle, April, 1851.
" Sir,—l beg to inform you that the annual rent of
your farm, under his Grace the Duke of Rutland, is
fixed at the sum of from Lady-day last. A
return will be made to you of 10/. per annum, so long
as the price of wheat remains under 465., on con-
dition that you produce bills to show that you have
purchased manures to that amount. An increase of
the like amount will be made in the event of the
price of wheat rising beyond 545. per quarter. The re-
turns and increase to be governed by the average price
of wheat for the previous year.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,
" Joust GREEN."
No further comment is necessary; but it is lair to
add that there has been a general valuation of the estate,
and that in some parishes there has been a reduction.
Knipton is reduced something like 4d. an acre; there is
also a reduction in Branston and Eaton; but in Croxton
and Sultby there is a material increase.

KENSINGTON GARDENS.
Nye have been requested to give insertion to the fol-
lowing;—The committee appointed by the inhabitants
of Kensington, Paddington, Notting-hill, and Bays-
water, to obtain petitions and memorials against
the formation of the proposed ride in Kensing-
ton Gardens, request the attention of the pub-
lic to the following brief statement:—Kensington
Gardens include an area of above 350 acre., and have
long been open to the public by the gracious permis-
sion of her Majesty and her Royal predecessors. The
gardens form the most extensive and delightful
pleasure grounds of the same rural description at-
tached to any city in Europe. Under the
present regulations they are resorted to with a de-
gree of security from molestation which ladies and
children can nowhere else enjoy, not even in the neigh-
bouring parks. The gardens are not only a source
of health and gratification to the inhabitants- of the
neighbourhood, but to visitors, especially to invalids
from all parts of the metropolis. The proposed ride
commencing at Kensington barracks, near the south-
west corner of the gardens, and proceeding first
in an easterly, and then in a northerly direction,
as far as Wiyawater, will throw nearly the whole area
open to equestrians, will supersede all the judicious
regulations under which admission is now granted, and
will destroy in a great measure, the secluded rural
aspect which now constitutes the most attractive
characteristic of these delightful grounds. The
reason assigned for thus defacing one of the
most admired features of the chief city in this great
empire, is, that- equestrians not enjoying, this year,
the full advantage of their usual ride in Rotten-row,
are entitled to compensation; and that the most con-
venient compensation is at the expense of the pedes-
trians in this royal domain. In answer to this
plea, it may be fairly urged that the ride in Rotten-
row is now frequented by equestrians as in former
seasons; and that the necessity of a new ride for their
accommodation not yet apparent. That the pe-
destrians in the gardens are as much entitled to consi-
deration as the equestrians in Hyde-park. That
even a partial and temporary interference with the
ride in Rotten-row is no adequate reason for the de-
secration of Kensington-gardens. That the equestrians
once admitted into the gardens, will be sure to
maintain their advantage, and procure a permanent, in-
stead of a temporary order for that purpose. That, in
proportion as buildings are created on all sides in the
suburban parishes, this beautiful sus in twbe must be-
come more precious to the inhabitants of the metopolia,
and ought to be more resolutely protected and handed
down unimpaired to future generations.

INSOLVENT DEB ['ORS.

ATTEMPTED SALE OF A WIFE.
About ten o'clock on Friday morning a large concourse
of people assembled opposite the Angel Inn, Stockport,
composed principally of parties from Droylesden, to
witness the disgraceful exhibition of a man selling his
wife by public auction to the highest bidder. The in-
dividuals immediately eoncerned were Joseph Orme
and his wife, Rachael, both factory operatives.
They had been married about three years; but, in con-
sequence of his intemperate habits and violent con-
duct, they agreed to separate, he retiring to Stock-
port, and she continuing to work at a mill at Droyles-
den. Since then the man had contracted an illicit
acquaintance with a woman, who was then living with
him as his wife. This increased the dislike of the wife,
and she meditated how she could most effectually relieve
herself of a faithless, worthless husband. It appears
that her brother resided in Stockport, and as the mill at
Droylesden has ceased work, she accepted an invitation
to spend the fair at his house. It was here that her
husband proposed to neutralise the marriage con-
tract by offering his wife for public sale in the
market, a process which, it is vulgarly believed, has
all the legal efficacy, without the cost, of a divorce
The wife at once consented ; and the brother
as readily acquiesce& Accordingly the disgusting
exhibition took place in the presence of an immense
crowd. She was neatly attired, and was a mode-
lately good-looking young woman. The husband, on
the contrary, had all the appearance of being a dia-
sipsted fellow; and was nut a favourite with those
females who ventured to express an opinion on the
subject. The first bidder was a man named Hill, who
was employed at the same mill ut Droylesden. He
commenced with 7d. ; and the biddings went quietly up
to 10s. At this moment Mr. Superintendent Sadler
and Mr. Inspector Walker, of the borough police,
were seen making their way through the throng, and
the sale was fortunately suppressed. A regu-
lar rush succeeded, amidst Which the husband,
wife, and her friends, retreated into the public-
house, whence they were dislodged by the authorities.
The husband suddenly disappeared in the xselie, whilst
the wife, accompanied by her brother, after a but pursuit
by the curious through the streets, took refuge in the
Warren Bulkely Arms. Many or the women, who really
believed that the sale of a wire was strictly legal, com-
plained of the interference of the police, and the hardship
of a wife being prevented relieving herself from a
worthless husband. Some time elapsed before the wife
durst emerge from the inn, the crowd being increased
outside. At length, having luckily provided herself with
a change of dress, she contrived to escape by the back
door, and reaching the railway station, succeeded with-
out molestation in reaching Droylesden. Orme, the de-
praved husband, has not since been seen in public.-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
BAIL COURT, May 13.
(Sittings in Banco, bvfere Mr. Justice ERLE.)
THE QUEEN V SC.,TT.—THE CLAPHAM CONVENT.
Sir F. Taunus:a—My Lord, an application was made
some time ago by Mr. Sergeant Shee for leave to file a
criminal informatten against the printer and publisher
of the Morning Advertiser newspaper, for libels published
in that journal upon the inmates of an establishment or
nunnery known by the name of the Clapham Convent.
The imputations were undoubtedly of a most serious
character, attributing to some one of those ladies a
breach of the vow of chastity, and that a child had been
born there in a mysterious manner. I appear here on
behalf of the Morning Advertiser, a paper which now,
for the first time, after a period of 50 years, has been
brought into a court of justice to answer for anything
inserted in its columns. The parties against whom the
rule was obtained now think it their duty, upon seeing
the affidavits in this matter, to state that they contain a
clear and distinct answer to the charge mad.. They
further say, that they had not gratuitously made the
charge, but that it had arisen from certain rumours
which had been circulated in the neighbourhood--
which rumours I mention, not for the purpose of
casting the slightest imputation upon those ladies,
but for the purpose of showing, that until they had
assumed a tangible shape in the columns of a news-
paper, it was impossible for the parties to chal-
lenge inquiry into the truth of them. They have done
-so, and have brought the matter into eourt in such a way
as; to satisfy the parties against whom the application
was made; and I may add myself, that there is not the
slightest foundation for such a charge being brought
against any or the inmates of the convent. And I am
happy to be instructed on behalf of the printer and pub-
lisher of thn Morning Advertiser to declare that there is
no truth whatever in the imputations unguardedly made
in the libels referred to. They now express their deep
regret that those charges should have been made, and
now withdraw them altogether. I trust that this will be
considered all that is required.
Mr. Sergeant SEEN—My Lord, the ladies of the con-
vent state in their affidavit, that they are not influenced
by any vindictive or malicious motives in making the
application against the defendant, but solely for the pur-
pose of vindicating themselves from the imputations cast
on them in the falsehoods and calumny contained in the
libels. Having heard the statement made by my Learned
Friend Sir F. Thesiger, I feel I cannot do better than
to receive each reparation as has been made, which is
as much as it is now possible for the printer and pub-
lisher of the Morning Advertiser to give. I shall, there-
fore, my Lord, consent, on behalf of the parties who
have instructed inn, to have the rule discharged, of
course on the payment of costs.
THE QUEEN V. CHAPMAN.
Sir F. THESIGER—My Lord, another application of a
similar character has been made against the printer and
publisher of the Morning Herald newspaper, for the pub-
lication of a libel, but under circumstances a little dif
ferent from the other one. It appeared that there had
been a publication in the Dispatch newspaper, which
purported to be a vindication of those ladies from the
slanderous report that was circulated against them. The
Morning Herald adverted to this publication, and made
some strong observations in disparagement of its truth.
The parties against whom this rule was obtained also
wish me to state here that they are perfectly satisfied
there is no foundation whatever for the charge. They
now withdraw everythicg that has been published of-
fensive to these ladies, and consent to pay all the costs
which have been incurred in making the application to
the Court.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE—I also consent to the rule being
discharged in this case as in the former.
The rules in both cases were accordingly discharged
upon the terms mentioned above.
IN RE ?ATTESON AND currs.
A rule nisi bad been obtained in this case calling upon
Messrs. Patteson and Cutts to show cause why they
should not pay over to Messrs. Charles and John Bar-
nard the sum of 9201, received by them in their capa-
city of attorneys to the applicants from a Mr. George
Peacock, as a portion of the purchase-money for a pro-
perty called the gear's-green Estate, in Essex. It ap-
peared that the money was received in 1832, when
Messrs. PatteSon and Cutts were partners. Since then
the partnership had been dissolved. The father of the
applicants at his death left five children—the property
in question containing 70 scree of land and " Old House
Farm." This property was mortgaged for 1,400 L Ac-
cording to agreement the estate was sold, and the
money was to be divided among the children. Messrs.
Patteson and Cutts were employed by Mr. Charles Bar-
nard to effect this purpose. The mortgagee was then
preveiki upon to release the livar's-green Estate, and
to take as security the Old House Farm. It timber ap-
peared that an advance of 5004 was made to Henry Bare
nerd. an officer in the East India Company's service. In
consequence of family differences the arrangements of
these accounts with the Barnard. became somewhat
complicated. Several applications for a settlement were
made to Mr. Cutts, but without effect.
Mr. Sergeant Shea this day showed oause against the
rule.

Sir F. Thesiger appeared for Mr. Patteson, and Mr. E.
James was heard iu support of the rule.
Elaving stated all the main facts of the case when the
rule nisi was obtained, we think it unnecessary to reca-
pitulate them now.
The rule was discharged as against Patteson, bat made
absolute against Cutts, and it was ordered that the
Master should say how much of the purchase-money re-
mained in his hands, such balance to be paid over to
Barnard, together, with interest up to the time of its
payment.

Mr. Ilockley F. Wood, of 14, OH Jewry Chambers,
appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-
place, attended on behalf of the prisoner.
As this case was only remanded for the purposu of
completing the depositions preparatory to commit ,ng
the prisoner to take his trial at the present Old BAiley
Sessions, no further evidence was taken, and having
been cautioned in the usual form, prisoner was asked if
he had anything to add to his, former statement, and if
w4hed that still to stand upon the face of the de-
positions ?
Mr. Lewis said that after the prisoner's own admis-
sion of his guilt, he of course could not attempt to de-
fend him by denying the facts already sworn to by the
witnesses, and acknowledged to by the prisoner himself.

THE LATE RAILWAY COLLISION.
In our yesterday's paper we gave a summary which
we received by electric telegraph of the verdict re-
turned by the jury in this long- protracted inquiry. We
now publish the entire verdict and the observations of
the jury thereon, as formally appended to the inquisi-
tion:—
The foreman said—Our verdict is " Accidental
Death" in the inquest upon which we have been sitting,
and we beg to accompany the verdict with these obser-
vations:—[The foreman here handed the observations
accompanying the verdict to the Coroner.]
The CORONER read them as follows:—" Although the
jury have not felt justified in recording any other ver-
dict than that of accidental death, they feel bound to
state thir unanimous opinion that great blame attaches
to the executive committee of the Birkenhead, Lan
eashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company, and
there was a want of prudence and discretion generally
in the conduct of the officers and servants of the com-
pany along the lino from Chester to Manchester on the
day when the melancholy occurrence took place which
resulted in the death of the parties as to which the
jury have been inquiring. With respect to the loco-
motive power of the company, it appears that no
increase whatever was made for the greatly increased
traffic along the line from Chester to Manchester during
the Chester race week, and that there was no authorized
superintendent of the traffic department along that line
appointed, and no precautionary arrangements adopted
for the safety of the public in reference to the Sutton
Tunnel, where the collision took place on the day above
mentioned. The jury find that during the day there
was the greatest irregularity in the dispatch and arrival
of the trains from Manchester to Chester, and the adver-
tisement issued by the railway company to the effect that
the trains would return from Chester after the races,
commencing at 5.30 P.M., and continue running, so soon
as filled, to 9 P.M., was in the highest degree objection-
able, and calculated to lead to confusion and danger.
The railway company's locomotive superintendent him-
self has stated, in the course of his evidence, that he
does not consider the stock of engines belonging to
the company sufficient for their ordinary traffic;
and yet, as the jury have already noticed, no in-
crease was made for the greatly increased traffic
during the Chester races ; and to this deficiency
of locomotive power is to be mainly attributed the la-
mentable catastrophe which has happened. The jury
are decidedly of opinion that the management of the
railway in question at the present time is imperfect and
inefficient, thereby endangering the safety of the public.
In conclusion, the jury recommended that, in order to
guard against the recurrence of a similar accident, there
should be an authorised servant of the company sta-
tioned at each end of the Sutton Tunnel, so as to signal
to the trains, and thereby prevent two trains from being
in the tunnel on the same line at one time. They con-
sider also that the carriages of the railway company
having to pass through a tunnel of such a length as the
Sutton Tunnel should be furnished with lights; and th.y
desire also to call attention to the shortne,s of the inter.
val allowed fur trains following each other on the same
line from the terminus and intermediate stations, wf.ich
appears to them to be attended with risk, and that the
interval should therefore be increased."
The COI',NER having thanked the jury for their care
and attention during the inquiry, the proceedings, which
had occupied seven days, were brought to a close a few
minutes before eleven o'clock.
