this match, the jockeys in their impatience having started
before their appointed hour ; the consequence was, that,
although Temperance came in first, they were both ordered
back to the starting post; the Fawn filly, however, did not
start the second time, and Mr. Day was of course declared

THE WOOL TRADE.

There has been within the last few days a numerous at.
tend,ofce of woollen manufacturers and others in the city
from Yorkshire and other places, in consequence of a
series of sales of Colonial and other wools having been
announced. There was also declared for sale a small
quantity of wool imported from the Swan River, being
the first imports of the kind from that distant settlement.
During the several days the sales am inued, the sale.
rooms at Garraway's were very much crowded, and the
hiddings were unusually brisk, the m inufac.uters being it,
high spirits at the improved aspect of the trade.
The quantity of wools announced for sale was between
2,500 and 2 600 hales, of which rather more than 1,000
hales were N-w South \V ales, 500 Van Diemen's Land,
240 bales of German, 342 b.iles of Smyrna, 90 bales o.
Cape, 50 hales of Spanish, 2 bales of Swan River, some
English combing and other wools. The manufacture's
from Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, and other principal places
in Vol kshire, bought largely. Some superior Australian
fleeces sold as high as 3s. to 3s. 2id. per lb. ; fine from
2w. to 2w. I Id. ; and interior from Is. to Is. I Id. per
The finest Van Diemen's Land wools offered, produced
from Is. 5,1. to 2s. 2d. and inferior and middling trout
10d. to Is. 4421 per Ib. The German wools were -old a.
fioin Is. to 1.. 101,1. per lb. ; the Smyrna an Irmo 6.1.
to 101 d. ; .he Cape at trom ls. Id. to ls. 6,1 d., and the
English comning, from Is. to Is. Id. per lb. The
wool from Swan River was of good qiitoity, and sold at
2s. Id. per hr.—there was some competition for it on ac
count of the novelty of the article, being the first imported
flout the colony. Ttie results of these sales tend to esta-
blish an advanced market for colonial and most other
wools. The wools from our possessions in Australia and
V to Diemen's laud, showed th at increased care and attention
has been paid in the growth and packing, and were more
free from the burr than heretofore, sheep shearing having
been commenced this season ea!lier than usual.

WILLIAMS V. JONES.

Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE stated, that this was an
action which was tried before the Chief Justice at
Guildhall, during the last sittings, and he now
moved for a new trial, on the ground that the Jury
had returned excessive damages. The action
was brought on EN alleged fake representation of the
va!ue of a public- house, calls i the G,•orge the
Fourth, situate at the corner of Plumtree-street, St.
Giles's. The adver isement offering to eispose of

the house estimated the returns at 4501. a month,
but the plaint ff found, after being in possession pf
he house for six weeks only, that the returns fell
short of the amount stated, and evidence of rather
a vague description was produced at the trial in
soipport of that fact. It was proved, however, on
the part of the defendant that the plaintiff had not
given the house a fair Trial, and it was further proved
that after he had been six months in possession the
'paints of the house averaged 5001. a month. The
Jury, however, in the face of the-e facts, returned a
verdict fir the plaintiff, and estimated the damages
at 1,012/. The Learned Serjeant proceeded to
argue that ►hese damages were wholly d.epropor-
tioned to the alleged deficiency in the receipts of the
house for the few mouths that the plaintiff came into
possession.
Mr. Justice GASELEE—I believe, brother Spankie,
that the house is situate in the borough of Fins-
bury.—(A laugh.)

Mr. gerjeant SPANKIE—It is, my Lord, and
therefore I have a right to praise it.—(Renewed
laughter.)
The CHIEF JUSTICE said that the evidence given
at the trial in support of the plaintiff's case oas
very loose, and the damages appeared to be exces-
sive. Under these circumstances the defenlant was
entitled to show cause.

DEWHURST V. PEARSON.

Mr. MATTHEW HILL moved for a new trial in
this action, tried before Mr. Baron Vaughan at Not—
tingham, w hen there Wfta a verdict for the defend-
ant. It was debt under the Lord's Act, 32
George 11., c. 28, against the defendant, a She-
riff's officer, for carrying the plaintiff, whom he
had arrested, to gaol within 24 hours from the time
of the arrest, and also for carrying him to a public-
house without his free and voluntary consent. He
moved on the ground of misdirection. The Learned
Baron had told the Jury they must be satisfied that
the plaintiff was taken without his consent to the
public-house, but he submitted that the direction
ought to have been, that the Jury must be satisfied
that what was done had been done with the consent
of the plaintiff, the whole policy of the Act being
to prevent persons arrested from being taken to prison
before the end of 24 hours from the caption, or to
any place of custody by their implied consent. The
Learned Baron also ruled that it was the duty of
the person arrested to name a place of safe custody,
and if he did not do so, that the officer was at liberty
to tike him to prison before the explation of the
24 hours; but he (Mr. Mb) submitted that it was
the duly of the officer to appoint the place, and that
if the party arrested refused to go to such place, then
the officer might take him to gaol.
Mr. Brrati VAuGHAN— l'ne Jury found, in fact,
-that the plain iff went voluntarily.
Mr. HlLL—They cettainly did so, but their find-
ing was Atfluenced by the direc,ion of your Lordship.
Rule to show cause granted.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 3.
London, England, 1832-11-05

All these, different in their motive, but identical
in their policy, are prepared to tear down the
altar to which, under God's providence, we owe
all we yet retain of what is good and happy ;
from which admonition has come to the rich,
and assistance to the poor ; from which conso-
lation has been whispered to the afflicted, and
absolution breathed over the dying. Let
those to whom the defence of our Sinai is en-
trusted guard themselves for the strife. Let
them put aside every ignoble thought, every en-
feebling recollection. Let them, in the eternal
importance of this warfare, abjure the tempo-
rizing morality which asks what may be expe-
dient for a day, for a season, for a generation;
and let them remember that their age, crowded
as it is with awful events, is but one link in the
wondrous ch.tin of time, and that their counsels

now must affect, not the trade, not the commerce,
not the civil rights or political privileges, but the
spiritual hopes of countless millions. In this en-
nobling confidence, and in the cheering remem-
brance of the deliverance which, as on this day,
was wrought by a mightier arm than theirs, let
them stand against it:fidelity, which undermines
the wall on the one hand, and bigotry, which
attacks the outw.,rk on the other.
" Their spirits armed the storm to meet,
Feeling the rock beneath their feet
And tracing through the clouds the Eternal Cause."
Morning Post.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 3.
London, England, 1832-11-05

HAT T ON- GARDEN.

DISTRESSING CASE.—Saturday evening a dis-
tressed-looking man, with his daughter, aged 16,
and his two sons, the one 12 and the other 13 year,.
of age, who scarcely hal a rag to cover therre.elve-,
were charged by police constable 108 E, with
begging.
The officer deposed to having seen them beg in
Bedford-square.
Mr. LAING ordered the children out of Court, and
they were accordingly removed. He then a-kett
the p isoner h s name. Prisoner—Edwa,d Smi h.
Mr. LAING —Where do you come from ?—Man-
chester, your Worship.
Mi. LAING—What are you P—A French pol
Mr. LAING—What brought you to London
Trade is very bad, and I came to seek employment.
Mr. LAING—It is well known at Manchester that
there are plenty out of employment here. Londoners
don't go to Manchester to seek for work. Where
did you come from last ?—Romford.
That is not the road from Manchester ?—I last
came from Yarmouth, where I had work.
Why did you beg ?—Why, your Worship, I was
forced to it. My children were in a state of star-
vation, crying for bread, and I did ask for relief.
Where did you sleep last night ?—ln the street,'
your Worship.
Mr. LAING—I shall commit you to the house of
Correction for 15 days.
Prisoner—l hope not your Worship.
Mr. LAING—Take him out.
Prisoner—What will become of my children ?
Waddittion (the gaoler)—What is to be done
with the children, Sir?
Mr. LAING—Let them come in. On making
their appearance, he asked the girl her age, where
she came from, and where she slept last night. Her
answers were the same as given by her fattier to si-
milar question.
Mr. LAING then ordered them to go about their
business, and make the best of their way home to
Manchester.
While in the back-yard their cries were piteous,
and they begged of 'Waddington to allow them to
go with their father to prison, but he told them he
could not do so. The father, who was in the lock-
up house, sent them out a penny, being all he was
possessed of, and they cried bitterly when they were
compelled to go away. A trifling sum was collected
for them, and they were advised to procure a lodg-
ing till Monday, and then apply to the overseer of
the parish for relief.

our own.

Sir R. PEEL considered this a case of importance, as
by the law of the land any British officer proved to have
accepted a commission under a foreign Power was guilty
of a misdemeanour punishable by fine and imprisonment.
Colonel EVA NS observed, that anv one might prosecute
a party under that law, but it by no means followed that
the Crown would deprive him of his commission, or en-
force the penalty.
Sir H. HARDINGE maintained that the question of
his Gallant Friend was perfectly allowable, as it appeared
that Captain Sartorius had acted in direct contravention
to an Actof Parliament.

Colonel EVANS added, that the employment of Mar-
shal Beresford in Portugal had not given rise to similar
questioning on the part of Hon. Gentlemen opposite.
Mr. C. WYNN replied, that in Marshal Beresford's
case there was a special licence from Government, which
he presumed could not be pro,luced in the present instance
by Captain Sartorius.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir G. CLERK inquired whether Captain Sartorius
had obtained leave of absence, because in the letter issued
from the Admirality on such occasions there is always an
express prohibition forbidding the party to enter foreig❑
service.--(Hear, hear.)
Sir J. GRAHAM replied that be had absented himself
without leave, and also without receiving any licence from
Government.

Colonel EVANS asked, whether a certain Major-Ge-
neral in the King's service had not been in the service of
Portugal three months ago ?
There was no answer (as far as we could perceive), but
laughter ensued amongst the Members of the Opposition.
Sir R. PEEL had no personal animosity against Capt.
Sartorious, nor did he think there was any necessity fur
treating him with harshness, but Government at least could
recall him : there was no difficulty in that.

THE FUNDS.

The Estafette from Paris brings the French renter
lower 67f. sc. ; but at present we do not hear of any im-
portant news by the above conveyance, but with the excep-
tion, w•e may add, of a private letter, stating that it
was expected that a free trade would take place with
England. Although the letter comes from one of the
French Deputies, we cannot at present give full credit to it.
We have no doubt that a great modification will take place
between France and this country in regard to their future
commerce ; but to that extent of a free trade between the
two Powers cannot be correct.

Our Funds are not so good as they left off on Saturday,
at 82 for the account; they opened this morning at
828 at which price they may be quoted at present,
with little doing. To-morrow being settling day in
Consols, they are busy in making up their accounts.
It now appears that there are a few cases of supposed
attack of the cholera at the west end of the town, but
not to any degree alarming. We understand that the
passengers on board the Hamburg steamer, which left
London yesterday for Hamburg, were examined by a
doctor, and clean bills of health given to them. No doubt
they will be permitted to land on their arrival at Hamburg.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.

We are happy to inform our readers, upon good autho-
rity, that the English claims upon the Brazil Government,
which have been so long pending, have at last been finally
settled to the satisfaction of both parties.
The private letters by the estafette this morning from
Paris again assert that the French Government have no-
tified to the Spanish Cabinet, that if they march an army
to the assistance of Don Miguel, the French Government
will order an army to proceed to Spain.
The private letters by the Lisbon mail state that little
dependence can be placed in the Portuguese troops, on the
landing of the expedition of Don Pedro.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at
821 for the Account, have since improved to 82i for
the Account, and 824 for next time. This rise is attri-
buted to the settling of the Account; but until the Op-
tions are called, which takes place at a quarter to four
o'clock, it cannot be ascertained whether it will prove a
Bull or Bear account.

A report prevails that 14 new Peers are to be made;
but this is only rumour at present.
The private letters from Brussels do not bring any thing
of irrportmce ; therefore we must wait the operations of
the Russian agent, which has arrived at the Hague.
Nothing doing in the Foreign market of consequence.

CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT.

CENTRAL
COUNCIL OFFICE:
DAILY REPO
London, England, 1832-02-27

READING, FEB. 25.

Mrs. Ann Merceir, the wife of Mr. Mercier, en-
gaged as an upholsterer at Windsor Castle, was
charged with the wilful murder of her infant, aged
twelve days.

When the indictment was read, a most distres-
sing scene occurred. t the hearing it (the Iv ate-
merit of the child's death) Mrs. Mercier (a very in-
teresting young woman, of about 26 or 27) became
greatly agitated, and then fainted—and, during the
trial, she was supported in a chair by her husband,
who manifested almost as much agitation as she did
herself.

Mr. O'Reilly said—l am a surgeon at Windsor.
On the 11th of December I was called in to attend
Mrs. Mercier in the night. On my going to her
house I saw her, and I inquired where the child was.
The body was produced to me ; it was not quite
cold. It was in a sheet, covered with blood. The
head of the child was nearly severed from its body.
The child must have died in a moment. Mrs. Mer-
cier was in bed. She cried out—" Here ! I have
done it." Her manner was peculiarly wild. I felt
her pulse and looked at her tongue ! her pulse was
very quick, and h,r tongue very dry. I thought
her labouring under mental aberration. I was shown
a penknife, covered with blood.
Mary Dowries said I was the nurse of Mrs.
Mercier. I attended her at the time of her confine-
men% She appeared to be going on well up to two
days before the night in question. She was then
crying, and said she thought the child was ill. I
saw her again in the evening, and she appeared in a
distressed state of mind. I had known her and her
husband before this time, and they appeared to live
very happily.
Cross-examined by Mr. SWABEY—This was Mrs.
Mercier's first child. She nursed it affectionarily,
aid was much frightened when she thought the
child looked ill. .

Mr. O'll illy recalled—Having heard the evidence
I conceived that Mrs. Mercier was labottrUtg under
temporary derangement ; and my opinion is
strengthened by what I myself witnessed at the time
and afterwards, when Mrs. Mercier said that it wa-
arceovradl i

Mr. Justice TAUNTON directed that the unfortu-

till his Majesty's pleasure should be known.

WINCHESTER, FEB. 25.

Mr. Justice GASELEE arrived here at half-past
five o'clock this day, and having opened the Com.
mission adjourned the Court to ten o'clock on
Monday.
The number of prisoners for trial are about
eighty, of whom thirteen are indicted for murder,
eight for burglary, eight for robbery, six for offences
against the game laws, one for an offence inter
Christionos non nominandum, one for manslaughter,
one for an attempt to poison, three for setting fire
to a farm-yard, and the remainder for minor offences.
The Civil business is very light, though the at-

comprising new and very interesting particulars of the Battles
of Salamanca, Vittoria, Pampeluna, Nivelle, Nive, and

" A new and welcome companion to the various interesting
records of British heroism in the 19th century. In the Noble
Earl's portion of this Interesting publication, the brilliant sketch
of the battle of Talavera, and the clear exposition of the general
operations of the campaign in which he took so distinguished a
part, furnish the best claims to attention; while the gallant
Captain's Narrative, embracing nearly the whole of the Penin-
sular conflicts, is rich in those episodes of individual adventure
and achievement which lend to the military page all the excite-
ment of romance, and which harmonize particularly well with the
wild and picturesque scenes of a country like Spain."—Globe.

A LONG VISIT. —A meeting was held this
week at a parish at the west end of the town, when it
was proposed by the cholcramaniasts, that a house should
be taken for the residence of a physician for three years, to
receive cholera patients. The motion was resisted, and
very properly rejected.
WHAT DO THE LAWYERS THINK OF
CHOLERA is not impossible but that the question
may be mooted ere long, in some of our Courts of Law,
whether an action for imputing the cholera to a man
would lie. This, as Mr. Amos recently observed, in a
lecture on medical jurisprudence, might lead to a result
perhaps in some measure desirable ; for, notwithstanding
the apparently widely-differing opinions of the faculty with
regard to the contagious or non-contagious nature of the
disease, it is probable that our legal functionaries would
not lose much time in coming to a judicial determination
on the subject. We believe that, in general, it is ac-
tionable to impute a contagious disease ; and on this
ground several curious decisions have been obtained by
the gentlemen of the bar. " Thou halt the falling sick-
ne,s" was found to be not actionable in the 4th year of the
reign of JAMES the First—whence we may infer
that epilepsy was not, even at that period, deemed conta-
gious ; though, at a sul.sequent date, the expression was
accounted actionable, when applied to an attorney, be-
cause it tended to slander and disable him in his calling.
Leprosy, not so much, perhaps, on account of its supposed
contagiousness, as of its odious nature—rendering it ex-
pedient that the infected individual should he removed
from the public eye—has frequently been the subject
of legal inquiry. " Thou art a leper," is highly action-
able, for it charges a man with thrusting himself
into society where he ought not to be, and intimates that
the ancient and severe writ De leproso amorendo ought
to he executed upon him. The question concerning
plague, small-pox, and other notoriously contagious disor-
ders, may be looked upon as settled long since.—Aredical
Gazette.
