HART V. GOOLD.

The plaintiff, a wine-merchant, brought this action to re-
cover the sum of 53/. Bs., the value of twelve dozen of
claret furnished to the defendant, the keeper of the London
Hotel, Albemarle-street.
The plaintiff's case having been stated by Mr. TIIES-
SIGER, witnesses were called who proyed the delivery of the
wine at the defendant's house, on the 29th June last. That
to the trade such wine was worth 755. to 80s. per dozen,
but if it wag sent to a private house, it would be
charged 965.
Mr. Hassam, an Excise-oflicer, said he took stock in the
defendant's hotel on the 24th of June, when there were
15 bottles of French red wine. He again went on the 2d
July, when there were 144 bottles of the same kind of wine,
which was permitted from the city, and was the wine in
question. He again took stock on the 25th July, when he'
found 100 bottles remained. No other permit was given
to him than that dated 25th June. He found the wine in
boxes, in a passage leading to the cellar.
Mr. TURNER appeared for the defendant, and called

Miss Jane Pail, who had been for three yc►ars upper
house-keeper in the defendant's hotel. She remembered
the four cases of wine coming in on the 29th of June. She
received it and the permit ; the latter she delivered to the
Excise Officer a few days afterwards. The defendant was
then at Clifton, and did not return for about a fortnight.
The four cases were put in the hall, and remained thereun-
broken till this moment. She was not aware of any other
wine of the same kind being brought into the house.
Mr. Sydney Nelson, a composer of music, said he called
at the defendant's hotel in July last. The plaintiff and de-
fendant were together ; and he heard the plaintiff say, " You
must take away this wine," to which the defendant an-
swered, " I cannot now, for I have no room ; but I will
send fur it in a day or two." He had seen the plaintiff two
or three times, when he pressed him to settle the
matter, as he did not like to appear between two friends.
He denied that he hadever• used the words. He (witness)
had received a dozen of Port wine from the plaintiff about
three weeks ago. - He had been promised it near five years
agv,:and had often pressed for it.

- Mr. THESSIGER replied, and contended that the defen-
dant had failed in making any defence. ' The evidence of
the exciseman was conclusive as to the defendant's having
dealt with the wine as his own, or he must have got in
another similar kind and quantity of wine under the plain-
tiff's permit. The defence was a mere after-thought.
The Learned Judge summed up,'and the Jury retired to
consider of their verdict.
After being out for an hoUr, the Jury returned with a
verdict for the defendant.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The arrivals this morning of the ordinary mails are two
Calais, two Ostend, one Dutch, 'and one Hamburgh ; also
ship letters from Quebec and Newfoundland.,
Montreal Papers to the 14th of actober, have just been re-
ceived. From these papers, it appears, that as the con-
vocation of the Provincial Parliament is fixed for tile -27th
inst., the nature and bearing of the various questions to be
brought under consideration, become the theme of general
conversation, and much anxiety is expressed as to the pro-
bable contents of Lord Gosford's opening speech.
The following is a comparative statement of arrivals, ton-
nage, and settlers :-
1834—Vessels, 1,025 ; Tons, 289,708 ; Settlers, 30,069.
1835—Vessels, 1,018 ; Tons, 291;954 ; Settlers, 11,288.

Decrease of Settlers, 18,781.
War risks were done at Lloyd's on Saturday for French
ships coming from the East Indies.

'Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off
on Saturday, 911 for the Account, and 9111 for Money,
with little or nothing doing. Omnium,_ 4 premium ; Exche-

In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds closed on Sa-
turday at 471 1; they opened this morning 1 per cent. lower,
461 ; they are at present 461 47, owing to the news from the
North of Spain not being quite so favourable as was antici-
pated. It was fully expected that we should hear by the ex-
press of the junction of the English troops with General
Cordova. Owing to this disappointment, fears are entertained
that a strong corps of Carlists hap prevented that desirable
event.

(From the Montreal Paper of the 10th Oct.) '

"The recent appearance of snow has not been solely confined
to the neighbourhood of Qurbec and its vicinity. It fell 'on
the 30th to the depth of six inches, with the weather cold and
uncomfortable. Much grain still remained uncut, and still
more standing in stocks in the fields. Indian Corn was pretty
generally cut off by the frost more than a fortnight previous,
and potatoes generally injured. The Wheat crop is gene-
rally very good, and well housed at St. Armand. On the
same day the snow storm was even more severe ; it continued
nntil the ground was covered a foot in depth ; large orchard
trees were crushed to the ground. Report says, there was'
eighteen inches of snow on the Bolton hills that day."
This being settling day in the Foreign Market, the Brokers
and Jobbers are chiefly employed in settling their accounts,
which are going off well, owing to the small credit given, ex-
cepting to the first-rate speculators.
Spanish Active Bonds, which were depressed in the morn-
ing, and done at 463-, went up again to 48 ; at present they
are 471. This is owing to a report of a Spanish Courier having
arrived with an account of the junction of the English and
Cordova ; but as yet we cannot give it as authentic.
