IN RE R. Y. LANE.

In the matter of this bankrupt, who is a solicitor, and
extensively connected with bill discounting, it was origi-
nally intended by his Honour to give judgment to-day
on some disputed points, but the judgment was adjourn-
ed' for hearing further arguments.

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
CALDWELL V. EXLEY.

The plaintiff is a seed merchant, and defendant is in
the same business in Mark-lane, and the action was
brought to recover the sum of 381. 10s. for a quantity of
winter tare seed, alleged to have been sold to the de-
fendant: The transaction occurred in September last,
and the plaintiff swore that defendant promised to pay
on the goods being delivered at the railway station, and
they were forwarded accordingly, but no delivery order
was tend, red at the time, but afterwards an undated one
was offered, which defendant refused to take on that
ground.

Mr. Buchanan called the defendant, and put in an
invoice, on which it was stated that the goods were to be
paid on the receipt of the delivery order, and defendant
said that through not receiving the delivery order in
September be had lost the contract and 6d. per bushel ;
he refused to take the order because the railway com-
pany would not have delivered to an undated order.

In examination by Mr. Mayhew, defendant admitted
that be bad received a notice from the plaintiff that the
delivery order was lying at his agent's, and defendant
could have it on payment of the amount of the invoice,
but he had never applied.

Mr. Buchanan contended that a proper delivery ought
to have been tendered at the time of the sale, and that
defendant was not bound to go to an agent, but the
vendor was bound to deliver it before he had a claim.
The order was not, in fact, tendered at all till February,
which was too late for sowing the seed.

His Honour considered that the purchaser ought to
have gone and taken up the delivery, as he had the op
portunity of selecting his Own time and suiting his own
convenience. He must therefore give judgment for the
plaintiff.

thtlf, the ()neon should open the Cortes in person ;
and amongst the pri-oners to be first brought for-
ward was one fora re‘orm of ih,slariffs. Ic was con-
sidered cett Ain that 11 r Majesty is in an interest-
ing situation. The Bank of San Fernando had
reduced its rate of discount to 5 per cent. At
°viol°, 20 persons hal been arrcs ed on suspicion
of being concerned in a Carlist conspiracy. Re-
ports were current that a certa;n number of ipfln-
ential persons in Mexico had formed the project of
requesting Count de Mon-LI/101in°, or, his In other
Don Juan, to assist them in transforming the re-
public into a monarchy, and to take the crown ;
but no importance was atta,led to them. Accounts
from Vera Cruz say that 14 or 16 of the assassins
of the Spaniards at Cuerna Vaca had been shot,
and that as the Mexican government had thus given
some sa'isfactiou to Spain, it was hoped that an
arrangement between the two countries would be
conic to. Numerous persons were being exiled
from Mexico, and trade was paralysed.

A letter from Berne, in the German journal of
Frankfort, says :---" The question of an indemnity
to Prussia was warmly discussed last week in the
Federal Council. It appears that the mediating
powers have confidentially recommended Switzer-
land to offer a million for the love of peace.'
Some members of the council were rather disposed
to accept this advice, but, after mature considera-
tion, it was decided that Switzerland could not
admit the principle of an indemnity, and that, con-
sequently, it was not necessary to discuss the
amount. A similar resolution was come to as to
the title of Prince of Neuchatel. Switzerland can-
not prevent the King of Prussia from assuming the
title, but she will never recognise his right toga."

The responsib'e editor of the Avvisatore Alessan-
drino, a Piedmontese paper, was condemned by de-
fault a few days ago by the Culla of Appeal of Ca-
sale to four years' imprisonment and a fine of 6000
francs, for having published an article under the
title of " The Insurrection," in which it wlvocated
the overthrow of the constitudoual monarchy.

The quarrel which lately took place between the
Austrian and Prussian soldiers forming the federal
garrison of Mentz was lint attended with the gravity
which was at first attributed to it. The Mentz
journal, however, in making this rectification, ad-
mits that one man was killed and ten wounded.

WOOL.

The next public sales of colonial wool in London will be
commenced on the 30th init., when about 56,000 bales will
be brought forward. By private contract scarcely any busi-
n
at barely stationary prices. Last week's im-
ige,rl is doing,
s were very extensive, viz., 1,750 bales from Hobart
Town, 3,600 from Adelaide, 6,880 from Sydney, 1,745
Melbourne, 2,312 from Geelong, 2,021 from Algoa Bay,
3 from Paris, and 5 bags from Jamaica.
The following are the current rates of English wool :
Down ter, is 7d to is 8d ; half-bred hoggets, is 63 to is
7d ; Kent fleeces, is 53 to is 63 ; Down ewes, is 5a to
is 6d ; Leicester fleeces, is 43 to is 5d ; combing skins,
is 3d to is 5d ; flannel wool, is 2d to is 6d ; and blanket
wool, 10c1 to is 2d per lb.

SEEDS.
Clover seed still continues inactive, and late rates are
with difficulty supported. Trefoil is a slow sale. Lin-
saed and rapeseed are very dull, on lower terms. Canary
and most other sends command very little attention. A
fair business has been done in cakes, at full prices.

THE BANK RETURN.

T e Bank Return of laa week was quie suf-
‘lecutly unfavourable to ju,tity, indeed to et mpel
the Bank to raise its rate of discount.
ThHre was a cie,:trease of bullion to the extent of
643,839/.. when compared with the previous re-
turn. But besides this the reserve of notes has
diminished by no less a sum than. 1,120,645/., and
was thus reduced to 3,507,475/.

The amount of notes in reserve in the spring of
1847 was at one time (in May) as low a#
2,741,0801., or about 760,0001. less than that oT
la,3t week. In the autumn it declined to little
more than a million, and then the Act of 1844 bad
to be suspended.
The exchanges are still against us, and should
more gold be withdrawn from the Bank, the rate
of discount must again be immediately raised.
A more decided and evident condemnation of
Peel's whole monetary system could not possibly
be afforded than we have now presented in this
country by these constantly recurring rises in the
rate of discount, and the attendant contractions of
the nation's circulating medium.
If with the enormous advantage which the unex-
pected discoveries of gold give to the bullionists,
we are exposed to these evils, what would have
been the condition of the country with free trade
and a contracted currency, and no arrivals from
California and Australia ?

We have no hesitation in saying that the distress
and ruin would have been perfectly appalling,
and the result either the overthrow of the existing
institution of Engl Ind in the attempt to obtain
relief, or the overthrow of the bullionist monetary
system.—Derbyshire Courier.

supporters, the late Mr. Charles
am justified in saying that without
never, as a mercantile speculation, ha'
taken by many of those who have u-
that on hi. aid arid exertions many of us proktlya S
and certainly myself, relied mainly for the success-
ful issue of the undertaking, and that his untimely
death materially increased the difficulties of that
undertaking, both to the directors and to the con-
structor of the ship. Let not, therefore, his share
of any merit that may belong to the undertaking
be forgotten.
In conclusion, permit me to add that my share
of the merit and responsibility ends with the con-
struction of the hull and of the paddlewheel engines, .
which have now been nearly completed by my as-
sistants, Mr. Dickson and Mr. Hepworth. The
launching of the ship, the rigging and masting of
the ship, her cabins and her outfit are not mine,
but are executed entirely under Mr. Brunel, Capt.
Harrison, and the other officers of the company.
I have the honour to be sir, your obt. servant,
J. SCOTT RUSSELL.

MARKET NEWS.-- (finis ray )

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were but moder-
ately supplied with wheat, in which a steady business was
doing, and prices had an upward tendency. The barley
trade was very firm, and all other kinds of produce were
steady.

Advices from the Continental markets state that the
transactions in grain generally have been very moderate,
and that previous rates have been with difficulty supported.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small, except wheat. From abroad we received
8,317 quarters of wheat, 20,873 barley, 25,732 oats, 45
beans, 181 tares, 2,155 linseed, 7,790 rapeseed, 7 mustard-
seed, 2,970 sundry; 300 sacks and 9,205 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, the
arrivals of English wheat were seasonably good, and in
somewhat improved condition. The show of samples of
both rod and white was on the increase, yet, as the attend-
ance of buyers was good, and as the country markets were
rather dearer, the tiewaild for all kinds of wheat of home
produce ruled steady, and prices advanced, compared with
Monday last, is to 2s per quarter.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well
as ex granary. Selected samples sold to a fair extent, at
an improvement in value of is per quarter, but inferior
samples were unaltered in price.
Iu floating cargoes very little was passing.
Although the show of barley was good, that article met
an improved demand, anti, in some instances, fine English
parcels were the turn dearer, viz., is per quarter.
Malt was in moderate supply, and fair request, at last
week's currency.
There was a good show of oats ; yet the oat trade ruled
firm at an improvement in value of 6d per quarter.
Both beans and peas moved off steadily, at very full
prices.

- The flour trade was steady, and country markets wereheld
for rather more money.

CHINA.

The Moniteur de la Flotte publishes a letter from
Shanghai of Feb. 7, which describes a ceremony
that took place there in commemoration of the
deliverance of Shanghai by the officers and seamen
of the Jeanne d'Arc and the Colbert. A so-
lemn mass was celebrated on the preceding day in
the French quarter called Yang-King-Pang to the
memory of those who fell under the walls of Shang-
hai on the 6th of January, 1855. Monseigneur
Danicourt, Bishop of Antifolles, officiated in pre-
sence of M. Van, the French Consul ; M. Merle,
the British Vice-Consul ; Captain Nicholson, of the
British frigate La Pique ; several officers of his staff,
the Spanish Vice-Consul, a delegate from the Portu-
guese Consulate, all the French residents, and a
number of the British residents. The mass was
followed by a sermon from M. Languillat, a Jesuit.
After the sermon the clergy proceeded to the resi-
dence of the French Consul, where prayers were
said over the mausoleum by M. Danicourt. The
ceremony was concluded by the following speech
from the French Consul :
" The two years which separate us from this heroic
but costly deliverance of Shanghai, far from losing
their effect on the hearts of the population, have, on the
contrary, made it stronger. Let us therefore honour this
glorious mausoleum as an immortal emblem for the navy,
for religion, for our duty, for all Frenchmen, for the ho-
nour and dignity of the national character, and for that
Powerful colony of Shanghai, for the honour of the West.
Let us give a new and s-,lemn adieu to the noble dead of
the Jeanne d'Arc and the Colbert."

Mem`•er of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of

'1 he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of dis ,ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their phys cal condition, and who aro conscious of having hazarded
the heath, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievOus penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences iaay be avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangethent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

"THE OLD, OLD STORY."

Summer moonbeams softly pi
Light the woods of Castle Keep ;
And there I see a trial len straying,
Where the darkest shadows creep.
Sho is listening—meekly, purely,
To the wooer at her side ;
'Tie the " old, old story," surely,
Running on like time and tide.
Maide❑ fair, oh ! have a care ;
Vows-are many—truth is rare.

He is courtly, she is simple ;
L'rdly doublet speaks his lot;
She is wearing hood and wimple—
His the castle, hers the cot.
Sweeter far she deems his whisper
Than the night-bird's dulcet trill ;
She is smiling—he beguiling—
'Tis the "old, old st iry" still.
Ma;den fair, oh ! have a care ;
Vows are many—truth is rare.

The autumn sun is quickly going
Behind the woods of Caette Keep :
The air is chill—the night wind blowing,
And there I see a maiden weep.
Her cheeks are white—her brow is aching—
The " uld, old story", sad and brief ;
Of heart betrayed, and left, nigh breaking,
In mute despair and lonely grief.
Maidens fair, oh ! have a care ;
Voris are many—truth is rare.
