Fair average supplies of each kind of meat were on offer
in these markets to-day. Prime beef, mutton, and veal,
.
were in fair request, at full prices. Otherwise, the demand
ruled heavy.

BOROUGH HOP.
The late improvement in the value of new hope is freely
supported, and,
in some instances, rather exceeded, with a
steady demand. All other hope are tolerably firm. Last
week's imports amounted to 76 bales from Hatubro', and
65 from Rotterdam.
New Mid and East Kent pockets, 75s to 116 s ; Weald of
Kent ditto, 6.is to 81s ; Sussex ditto, 57s to 725; Year-
lings and OMs, 218 to 40s per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since Monday last only moderate supplies of English
and Scotch potatoes have come to hand. The imports have
been composed of 175 tons from Antwerp, 4 from Bremen,
300 tons from Rouen, 90 tons from Groningen, 200 tons
from Dunkirk, 200 bags from Paris, and 130 tons from
Hambro'. The trade still continues inactive, as follows :

WOOL.
We have to report an improved inquiry for colonial
wool; but the business doing is limited. Foreign qualities
rule heavy, but not cheaper. English wools are some-
what firmer. In the present state of the market, how-
ever, it is difficult to quote prices. Last week's imports
amounted to 351 bales from New York, and 1,101 from
gg.

SEEDS.
Canary-seed has been in steady request, at full prices.
Trefoil and Canary-seed are quite as dear as last week.
Most other seeds, as well as cakes, are held for extreme
rates.

Tn LATE RENEW PACRA*---" Intelligence from
Constantinople of the Bth," says a Vienna letter in the
Ost Deutsche Post, "announces that the Sultan was
exceedingly distressed at hearing of the death of Reschid
Pacba, and that an autopsy of the body was made to
prevent any malevolent suppositions as to the cause
of his death. It appears that the deceased, during
the morning of the day on which he died, had trans-
acted besiness as usual, with several persons. He had
taken his coffee and smoked with apparent relish, when
all of a sudden a violent contraction became apparent in
his mouth, and sown after he expired. It was ibis
unexpected decease which led to the idea of poison,
there does not appear to be any foundation:.

k. That work, bow
Mat between her
ever, has been deferred, as there as no immediate neces-
sity for it. The launch will take place on Friday the
29th or Saturday the 2;.4h, so that an early day next
week will be ample time for the preliminary :arrange
ments. Tnis morning the vessel was publicly exhibited,
and visitors flocked from all parts of London to what
has not inappropriately been termed "the dirty Inland
of Dogs," to inspect the 11.1:Aster ship about which there
have been so many conjec, ure. and so many anxieties.
An admission roe of 2i. 61 was charged, and similar
facilities will be granted during certain hours every (1-17
this week, to enable the public to go over the ship. A.
soon as the vessel arrives at low.water mark, a process
which will be attended with no difficulty, the work of
unpacking the cradles will commence, and then there
seems to be no doubt the spring tides will gradually
float her.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.---(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, and Justices
Coleridge, Wightman, and Crompton.)
THE QUEEN T. TUE JUSTICES OF STAFFORD.

The S licitor-Geoeral moved for a rule calling upon
four of the justices of Stafford to chow cause why an
attachment should not issue against them. This was one
of those cases that had so oft. n been brought before the
Court, in which attempts had failed to enforce the salu
tart' provision of an act of Parliament, passed for the
regulation of mines. Some time since a writ of mandamus
was applied for against these gentlemen, who allowed
the rule to be made absolute. They afterwards made an
attempt at hearing, but had made no return. The only
difficulty about the matter was, that the four gentlemen
were served with the writ at different times. The writ
was issued in May ; but Mr. Ridgway was oot served
till the let of June, Mr. Glover on the 3d, Mr. Manway
on the 18th August, and the other gentleman on the Ist
September. The attempted hearing took place after the
latter date. The application was to compel these gen-
tlemen to make a return.
Rule granted.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Byles and a

Common Jury.)
ROBERTSON ♦. SLAUGHTER.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a ship
broker and agent, .at Lloyds, against the defendant, a
miller, for an assault. The defendant pleaded a
justification.
It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff and
defendant were at a sale at Sutting, near Dartford,
near where the plaintiff resided, on the 7th August last.
For the defendant it was urged that the plaintiff %S as at
the sale in a partial state of intoxication, using insulting
and offensive observations to the auctioneer, to
the annoyance of the public, amongst whom ware
a number of ladies. He went up to the defendant and
addressed him, "Now, Uglsy, have you seen George
Manley here." Defendant asked him if he meant him
(defendant), and on his repeating the offensive expres.
sion the defendant .struck him a blow on the nose, which
caused it to bleed a little and abrased the skin, which
the surgeon, who was in the room, plastered with a little
gold beater's skin after having washed the blood off with
a sponge and cold water. The plaintiff denied that he
was in the habit of taking spirits in the morning. To a
glass of rum he was a stranger, but took gin medicinally.
The landlord of the Bull, at Dartford, however, proved
the plaintiff had three glasses of rum and water at his
house before going to the sale, and it was shown that he
had been smoking and drinking ale before that. The
plaintiff denied that he drank any rum that morning.
The learned judge, having summed up, the jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, damage, one farthing;
they were unable to say on what count they returned
their ♦erdict, and had to be locked up to reconsider it.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commisaionor Goulburn.)

gTEIZ APPROACHING MARRIAGZ OP THZ PRINCESS ROYAL.
Hie Honour intimated that the Court would not ait
on Monday next, which day having been appointed for
the marriage of the Princeoe Royal.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
IMPORTANT TO COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.-PARYER

V. ?ORD.

This was an action to recover 151. 6d. from
defendant, woollen draper, by plaintiff, a commercial
traveller.

Mr. Buobanan, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Marsden for the defendant.
One of the items of the elaim consisted of 4/. 4s. for
a month's notice, defendant having agreed to give half
a guinea per week and 3s. commission.
Mr. Buchanan insisted that the plaintiff had received
no notice, but a letter was put in in which defendant
requested plaintiff to send home his pattern case.
His Honour—l think that is a notice; for it is
virtually depriving plaintiff of all connection with the
house.

Mr. Buchanan—ln a letter sent afterwards they offer
explanations, •iz., that the pattern case was wanted for
a town traveller.

His Honour—l think the plaintiff Lust have taken
it as a notice. The question then arose as to commission,
the defendant alleging that plaintiff could not recover oa
a sale of 321. as the goods were returned.
His Honour thought the objection a good one.
Mr. Buchanan—Were the goods according to sample.
Defendant—Yes.

Mr. Buchanan—Then you had no right to receive the
goods back again.
His Honour —I think plaintiff cannot recover for any
returns arising out of his sale. If I give a verdict for
101. that will be sufficient.

Mr. Buchanan having assented on the part of plaintiff
a verdict for 101. was given.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PROVIDING AGAINST THE COLD.—John Siiith, a poor
miserable-looking fellow, was charged before Mr.
Beadon with stealing two larnbs'•wool shirts, the pro-
perty of Mr. William Brooks, hosier, &c., No. 374,
Oxford-street.

Cole, 317 A, deposed that about nine o'clock on
Saturday night he saw the prisoner in company with two)
other men dodging outside the prosecutor's shop, in the
doorway of which a quantity of woollen goods were dis-
play ed. He watched them for about a quarter of an hour,
when the prisoner left his companions and sneaked into
the doorway of the shop, and took toe two lambs'-wool
shirts produced from a lot of others piled just inside the
shop. The prisoner then ran off down Brunswick-street as
bard as he could, followed by witness, who came up with
him in Noel-street. As soon as he caught hold of the
prisoner he threw down the shirty, and begged of him
to let him go. as he only took the skirts to keep him
warm, and intended to pay for them. Oa searching
him at the station nothing of any ♦alue was found upon
him.

The prosecutor's shopman identified the property as
belonging to his master.
Tne prisoner who pleaded guilty, was committed to
the House of Correction fur three months, with hard
labour.
