LA W INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
GEORGE AND WIFE V. SKIVINGTON.

This was an action against a chemist and drug-
gist, for selling a hair wash which injured the female
plaintiff's hair, and which now came before
the court upon a demurrer to a declaration,
which stated that the defendant sold to her a
certain compound, made of ingredients known oniy
to himself, which he represented to be fit and proper
to be used as a hair wash, and that he so carelessly,
unskilfully, and negligently conducted himself in
and about the making of such compound that the
suffered personal injury iu using the same. Judg-
ment for the plaintiffs.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
FERNEUX V. SHIMMIN.

Sir John Karslake moved ou behalf of Mr. Fer-
ueux,managing director of the Merchants' Trading
Company (Limited), having offices in Liverpool
and London, for a rule, calling upon Mr.
Hugh Shimmin, proprietor and publisher of
a newspaper at Liverpool, to show cause why a
criminal information should not be filed against
him for libel. The charge made against the appli-
cant in the newspaper.was that he had been con-
cerned in scuttling a vessel for the purpose of ob-.
taining the insurance on a vessel to double her
value. The article in question appeared in the
Porcupine, which the defendant admitted was
written by him. It was headed " Marine Coal
Scuttling."
The Lord Chief Justice said the learned counsel
might take a rule.

TRADE AND FINANCE.

SATURDAY EVENINe.

The Bank return of the present week skews an increas-

ins demand for money, but there is reason to believe that
the pressure which existed in the early part of the week
was to some extent occasioned by the idea thathad become
prevalent that a further advance would take place in the
Bank rate of discount. This anticipation rested on N ery good
grounds, and the tendency of money is slightly upwards.
At this period of the year there is generally a
good demand for money for commercial purposes, as our
import trade is naturally more extensive towards the close
of the year than at other times, commerce being in a great
degree regulated by the order of the seasons. The great
bulk of our imports being of vegetable origin, they arrive
more freely at certain seasons than at others. In addition
to this natural movement in the market, there exist at the
present time certain exceptional features which cannot
but have a decided influence upon the market. The
amount of the loans now offering is unusually large, and
this must have the effect of absorbing a great:deal of
capital. In addition to the loan to the Corporation of the
City of London and to the Metropolitan Board of Works—
which, of course, offer exceptionally good opportunities
for investment—there remains the fact that the seven
millions for the service of the telegraphs must be
raised by the Government before the close of the
year. If this amount is to be raised in the open
market, money will be strongly though tem-
porarily—affected ; on the other hand, the rumour
that Terminable Annuities will be offered through the
Post Office Savings Banks is entitled to some credit, and
in the case of this plan being adopted the loan will have
little effect upon the market.

The foreign loans now offering are extensive, but it must
be allowed that the credit of the countries now in the
field is far from being unquestioned. The Portuguese
loan appears to have passed, as usual, into the
hands of a few large capitalists, who will con-
tinue to supply the demand for it until it is
worked off their hands. Turkey is still hoping to get
a large loan for railways, in addition to the loan now on
the tapir, and most of the old borrowing States are again
in such straits, that further appeals for assistance may be
looked for. Italy has this week made her appearance in
the market with a loan of £5,200,000, and from this it is
evident that Count Cambray-Digny's anticipations
with regard to the Exchequer have not been
fulfilled, as indeed only very sanguine persons could
have expected. The financial position of Italy is yearly
becoming worse. Outlof a revenue of 33 millions the
charge for interest, pensions, dm, is no less than 20
millions, that is to say that the irreducible expenditure of
the country is about three-fourths of the rack revenue.
This is such:a drain as no country can bear, and an annual
addition to the incurable deficit is inevitable. The
deficit last year was upwards of eight millions,
and the Minister in his recent Budget estimated the total
deficit at the close of the current year at £25,000,000. As
we may be sure that the best side of affairs was presented
to the Chamber, this may be7regarded as considerably
under the mark.

The Prince of Wrales will visit the Earl and
Countess de Grey at Studley Royal, near Ripon, early in the
ensuing month.

Dr. Temple, the new Bishop of Exeter, will read
himself in at the Cathedral on Holy Innocents' Day, the
28th December.

On Saturday the Right Rev. Dr. George Moberly,
the new Bishcp of Salisbury, was enthroned in his cathedral
with the usual ceremonies.

The Liverpool Mercury says that nothing has
yet been ascertained in reference to the murder of Mr.
Gleave, the farmer who was shot dead in his milk cart near
Warrington.

It is stated that the Government have determined
on issuing a commission to inquire into the cause of the
recent fatal attack on the persons returning from the tenant-
right meeting.

In Convocation at Oxford University on Satur-
day the University seal was affixed to the instrument of
election of the Marquis of Salisbury to the Chancellorship,
to which the noble marquis was on Friday elected.

The report of the commissioners appointed to in-
vestigate the cause of the riots in Londondorry on the oc-
casion of Prince Arthur's visit is in the Government prin-
ter's hands. It is believed the report will recommend the
abolition of open-air demonstrations and displays, and the
substitution of the constabulary for tho local police.

A meeting, numerously and influentially attended,
has been held at Carnarvon, with the object of memorialis-
ing Mr. Gladstone to appoint a WOsh bishop to St.
Asaph in placo of Dr. Short, who intends to retire.
One of the resolutions was moved by the Rev. Robert
Ellis, Baptist minister. The speaker ascribed the
prevalence of dissent in Wales principally to the
appointment of English-speaking bishops, who wanted sym-
pathy with Wales, and bestowed livings on English rela-
tives. The second resolution, to the effect that the meeting
should memorialise Mr. Gladstone in favour of the appoint-
ment of a Welsh bishop for St. Asaph and other Welsh sees
on vacancies occurring, was unanimously carried.
