pations by the calling out of the landwehr, to inter-
rupt, for a time, the regular course of commercial
transactions between this country and central Eu-
rope. Under these circumstances, warps and pin
cops have rather suffered in price ; and low numbers
of mule, as well as water, have had a drooping
tendeficy. But water twist above No. 16, is firm.
Low counts for home manufacture steady ; and there
has been rather more inquiry for them and for me-
dium numbers, though the purchases have proved
immaterial. Fine and good spinning scarcely main •
tain their last week's value. The makers of 40-inch
shirtings have experienced a fair inquiry, but their
' sales have been very limited. In domestics, the lately
increased firmness is maintained. Printing cloths
continue dull. The failure of the American advices
to impart any impulse to the Liverpool market, al-
though rather calculated to do so, has contributed
to the generally inanimate &state of things on our
Exchange.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The market to-day has not
been quite so brisk as it has been for some Mondays
past, and yet there has been a very fair business
transacted, considering the time of the year. The
wool market is heavy, but prices continue firm.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have no alteration
for the better to notice respecting the manufacturing
trade of this town, which continues as dull as re-
ported for some time past. This is, however, no new
feature at this season of the year, as it is usually flat
from this time up to Christmas. In thrown silks, we
have to notice a slightly improved inquiry for some
descriptions suitable for the spring trade ; but as yet,
little actual business has been transacted. The raw
silk market remaies quite firm, with every appear-
ance of continuing so.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had nothing
of interest stirring in our market to-day. The ge-
neral cry throughout the warehouses seems to be
slackness, and we have had very little doing during
the week. Fancy trouseriags have been in fair de-
mand. The manufacturers are chiefly engaged
working to order on light coloured goods. Stocks
remain low for the season.

.EXPERIMENTS 1N THE MARSHES.
Woo Limn-, Nov. 19.—Major-General Parker,
C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military
Academy; Major-General J. J. Lacy, Director-
General of Artillery ; Colonel F. Campbell, Colonel
H. W. Gordon, Colonel C. Cruttenden, Lieutenant-
Colonel Chalmer, Assistant Director-General of Ar-
tillery; Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K.H., Major
Dupuis, Royal Horse Artillery; Captain and Adju-
tant Brandling, and Captain Boxer, Royal Artillery,
assembled to-day at two o'clock, in the Marshes
to wttness experiments with quartermaster Free-
burn's fusees. Experiments bad been made on many
previous occasions with Quartermaster Freeburn's
fusees, and as they had proved amongst the best
submitted to the Select Committee, the trial to-day
was made with the view of testing whether the work-
men coud make them equally well on Mr. Free-
burn's plan as he could himself, all the former
trials being made with fusees made by himself.
Fifteen shells were fired during the experiments, ten
32-pounders, and five 8-inch or 68-pounders.
The first and second rounds, from two 32-
pounders and one 8-inch gun, were fired with
metal fusees which had been made upwards of
month ago. The first shell struck the bulk- head, but
did not explode ; the second, en 8-inch shell, and the
third, a 32-pounder, were very good explosions on
striking the bulk-head. The fourth, a 32-pounder,
appeared to have burst at the mouth of the gun, but
the report from Lieutenant Lascelles, in charge
of the range detachment, stated its having
struck near the top of the bulk- head without
exploding. The fifth and sixth were good. The
other nine shells fired were all fitted on the spot with
the wooden fusees made in the Royal Arsenal by Mr.
Carlyle and the usual workmen of the fusee depart-
ment, and burst, with one exception, on passing
through the bulk-head, the failure of the one which did
not burst being caused by its passing through an open-
ing made in the bulk-head by a previous ell, and en-
tering the mound to a considerabe extent, the fusee was
extinguished. One of the 8-inch shells struck the
ground short, and afterwards buried itself at the
bottom of the bulk-head, and did not burst until after
the next shell had been fired, when it exploded with

tremendous effect, tearing the massive timbers into
hundreds of fragments, and scattering them about,
besides breaking and twisting the numerous bolts
with which the wood was held together. The wooden
fusees are evidently the best and most economical,
the brass fusees being very expensive, as
they must be adjusted and held to the shells by
screws. Lieutenant-Colonel Ilardinge, of the La-
boratory Department, acme time ago suggested and
fitted several shells with wooden fusees made -without
crew, the threads of which were liable to become
unfit for adjusting in the shells when expanded with
water or contracted in dry warm weather. The
Lieutenant-Colonel's plan is extremely simple, being
merely to make the mouth cf the shell conceive and
the neck of the fusee convex. In that form MO mo-
derate blows with a woden mallet are sufficient to drive
the fusees home at the time they are required for use,
end they are safer and less liable to fall out f rem the
shell during its flight than any plan previously
tried. The whole of the wooden fusees fired. to-day

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 19.
(Sitt gs in Banco.)
O'CONNOR V. BRADSHAW.

This was an action fora libel brought by Mr. Feargus
O'Connor, M.P., against Mr. Bradshaw, the editor of
the Nottingham Journal. A verdict was found for the
plaintiff on the first issue on the plea of not guilty, and
for the defendant on the plea of justification. The libel
conveyed imputations on the plaintiff's character in con-
nexion with the National Land Scheme. Mr. Sergeant
Wilkins obtained, during the last term, a rule nisi for a
new trial, upon the ground that the Chief Baron, who
tried the case, had misdirected the jury in telling them
that the National Land Scheme was an illegal company
as being a lottery;' that the Learned Judge heel impro-
perly left it to the jury to determine the meaning of the
plea of justification; that the Judge was also wrong in
directing the jury upon the plea of justification; that the
question was the bonit fides of the plaintiff and defen-
dant. A point was also made that the Judge was also
wrong in telling the jury that the money in Mr. O'Cou-
nor's hands would pass to his assignees if he should be-
come bankrupt.
Mr. Roebuck, Q.C., Mr. Keating, and Mr. Bagley
showed cause against the rule; Mr. Atherton and Mr.
Prentice appeared in support of it.
On the part of the defendant 'it was argued that the
company was illegal, and was prohibited by the 10th and
11th William 111, c. 17, and the 12th Geo. 11., c. 28,
and the other Acts of Parliament upon this subject. The
point had been before the Court of Queen's Bench in
the case of Reg. v. Whitmarsh, the registrar of joint-
stock companies, but that case was decided upon other
grounds.
The counsel for the plaintiff contended that the com-
pany was not a lottery, and therefore was not illegal;
that the Acts of Parliament did not make all decisions
by chance illegal, ,hut only a certain description. This
case was like that of co-partners dividing their land by
lot, which was plainly not illegal. It was also con-
tended that the jury were misled by the summing up, as
they had found an inconsistent verdict—that is to say,
they bad found a verdict aeainst the plaintiff upon the
plea which imputed dishonesty in connexion with the
iand scheme, yet had accompanied that verdict with a
statement that the plaintiff's personal honesty stood up,-
impeached.
The case occupied almost the whole of the day. The
Court took time to consider their decision.

were on the plan described, and of abundant
evidence of its superiority and simplicity and or every
circumstance, and freedom of liability of danger to the
persons firing with them. The quantity of bursting
powder in the shells fired to-day was 21b. to each
8-inch, and 1113. to each of the 32-pounders, and the
charge to each gun at each round 81b. There were
18 shells altogether brought for experiments, and it
was:;intended to fire the two last 32-poundor shells
with charges of 61b. to each gun, but, in consequence
of an interruption by so many vessels passing on the
river after the first 15 rounds had heel fired, the
other three were taken back to the practice lobby, to
be fired on a future occasion.

EXHIBITION OF THE WORKS OF
DUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS, 1851.

RAILWAX ACCOMMODATION.

Since the meeting of the representatives of the metro-
politan railway companies and the executive committee
in September last, the railway representatives have been
considering the nature of the increased public accommo-
dation which the railways should agree to grant during
the Exhibition of 1851, and have assented to certain
recommendations, the most important of which are as
follow:-
1. That each railway company should afford every
railway facility for the conveyance an'i delivery of
articles intended for the Exhibition, allowing a eieduction
of one-half of the railway charge to exhibitor a on the
following conditions:—
That the articles be declared in writing, with every
information as to the denomination, quality, and
classification of goods, and the dimensions or
weight of peckages, with other requisite par-
ticulare, to be signed by, or on behalf of; the ex-
hibitor, with his agreement to abide by all the
conditions herein specified.
That the goods shall be received, conveyed, and
delivered at the exclusive HA: of the owners,
without any liability on the part of the railway
company.
That upon the production of a certificate from any
local committee, stating the articles are bona fide
intended for the Exhibition, the repayment of
one-half of the usual railway rate, with tie charge
for delivery, accompanied by an agreement as to
non-liability of the railway company, sh all entitle
the exhibitor to have the goods so conveyed and
delivered.
That, if no such certificate be produced ,the ordinary
railway rate and charge for delivery shall be pre-
paid to the company (the foregoing declaration
and agreement as to non-liability being furnished
at the same time) upon an undertaking binding
the company to repay to the exhibitor one-half
of the railway charge as soon as a certificate shall
be produced, stating that the said goods have
been duly admitted to the Exhibition.
2. That in order to encourage the early formation of
" Subscription Clubs" in the country, to enable the
labouring classes to travel to London and back during
the Exhibition of 1851, the railway companies should
now undertake to convey all persons so subscribing to
local clubs at a single railway fare for both journeys,
up and down, which shall in no case exceed the exist-
ing fare by Parliamentary trains for the journey in one
direction, with an abatement for distances, subject to the
following conditions :
That in respect of journeys to London, the first
100 miles shall always be charged as 100 miles, and
where the distance shall exceed 100 miles, an allowance
in the fare be made on the following scale :
For the first excess 100 miles, 1-sth, or 20 per cent.
be allowed.
For the second excess 100 miles, 3-10ths, or 30 per
cent. be allowed.
For the third excess 100 miles, 2-eths, or 40 per cent,
be allowed.
For the fourth excess 100 miles, I or 10 per cent. be
allowed.

Mr. LUCAS applied to the Court to allow a fiat to be
issued under the following circumstances: —An affidavit
of debt had been filed on the 18th of September last;
and the 82d section of the new Act required that a pe-
tition for adjudication in bankruptcy should be filed
within two months from the filing of such affidavit;
but, on the parties applying to file the petition, it had
been refused to be received, on the ground hat the
hour of the day was later than that at which
the affidavit had been filed. There was nothing in the
office to show at what hour on the 18th of September
the affidavit had been filed; and it was contended that
the hour was immaterial, as courts of law only took no-
tice of fractions of a day when it was necessary to de-
termine which of two events had priority. Mr. Lucas
cited several cases in support of this view.
His Hoziona held that the petitioner was within time;
and that the two months were not complete until the
end of the corresponding day
of the second month.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.).
ge MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The commercial advices
from the East have been but very imperfectly known,
by electric telegraph, during the principal hours of
business to-day. The Bombay market is reported as
dull in our staples ; but we have accounts of an ani-
mated demand for yarns and goods at Calcutta, and
of some indications of improvement in China. The
consequence is a rather active business in suitable
yarns for both quarters, on somewhat better terms
than were previously obtainable by the producers.
In other descriptions, however, a general quietness
has prevailed. Although the danger of war in
Germany
o of the
.passing away,, yet the confi-
dencemerchants is by no means restored;
the appears to be
and their purchases continue to be comparatively
trifling, being confined to the execution of small
orders. Besides the evil of uncertainty still hanging
about the differences betwixt Prussia and Austria,
there is the serious check gir©n to industrial occu.
