VICE-CHANCERY..-(THIS DAY.)

The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the
whole morning with the part•heard case of Beresford v.
Armagh, which came before the Court upon exceptions
to the 51ust,r's Report.
(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)
OSBORNE V. FOREMAN.

His llortora pronounced judgment in this case. The
bill was filed by some residuary legatees against the
trustees of real and personal estate, who were also the
executors. The dike now came before the Court on a
point of form. It was determined by the Court upon
the construction of one of the last orders.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)

MANDAMUS.-THE QUEEN V. TIIE CORPORATION OF MAN.
CHESTER.-THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF MR..

:HINGHAM.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that it would be in
the recollection of the Court, that in each of these cases
a rule for a mandamus had been directed to be made ab-
solute against the new corporations, ordering them to
award compensation to certain officers. That rule had
been directed to be drawn up in the alternative directed
either to the corporation or to the town council. Some
difficulty had arisen at the office in amending the rule,
so as to enable Counsel to direct it to whichever party
they might think fit.
Lord DENMAN—We always presume that the parties
brought before the Court are the right parties.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—There can be no doubt as
to the identity of the parties in the present case. The
town council and the corporation are essentially the same
parties, both are before the Court, and my application is,'
to amend the rule so as to have it drawn up in accord-
ance with the directions of the Court.

Lord DENMAN—I should not imagine that there could
be any objection to that.—Application granted.

THE QUEEN V. SCOTON.

The defendant in this case had been convicted at the
last Stafford assizes of perjury. A motion in arrest of
.judgment had been made last term by Mr. Sergeant
Taifliurd, and the Court had fixed this morning to give
judgment on Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's motion.
The ATTORNEY- GENERAL applied to the Court to
name some other day. The Court no doubt had intended
that the defendant should be present, in order that, if the
rule should be discharged he might be brought up for
judgment. The defendant was not present. Another
ground of his application was, that the case having been
tried before Mr. Justice Williams, it would be advisable
that that Learned Judge should be present when the
judgment of the Court should be delivered.

Lord DENMAN—We certainly intended that the de-
fendant should be present : let the case stand over until
this day week, and I will speak to my brother Williams,
who will on that day come into this Court.

EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY).
(Sittings in Banco.)
COFFIN V. BRAITHWAITE.

Mr. RICIIARDS moved for a rule to show cause why the
verdict found for the plaintiff in this case, which was
tried before Mr. Baron Rolfe on Friday last, should not
be set aside and entered for the defendant, or why
judgment should not be arrested. It appeared that the
plaintiff, with a party of friends, intending to visit
Sheerness, embarked on board the Prince Albert steam-
boat. When off Gravesend, the captain caused the
plaintiff and his friends to disembark, believing them to
be members of the " swell mob," by which they were
put to considerable inconvenience, and were refused a
passage by any of the other steam-boats, from the pre-
judice which had been created against them. They
were obliged to take a carriage to town, and were con-
sequently put to considerable expense. The defendant
had paid 2/. 12s. into Court, the amount of the ex-
penses to which the plaintiff and his friends had been
put. Mr. Riclrude contended that the captain of the
steam-boat was not responsible for the annoyances to
which the party had been subjected from being f placed
under the surveillance of the police, and from the hoot-
ings of a mob of 200 persons.—Rule granted.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
HOLMES V. HODGE.
This was an action brought by a brewer to recover 81.,
as the price: of two barrels of ale, alleged to have been
supplied to the defendant, who is a publican. The de-
fence was that the ale had been returned to the plaintiff
on account of its inferior quality, and the jury found for
the defendant.
Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL now obtained a rule nisi for a
new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against
evidence.
In three other cases, destitute of interest, the rule nisi
for a new trial was also granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A respectable-looking man, who gave his name as
John Wylie, whose appearance indicated that he was
not in a perfect state of sanity, was brought up, charged
with stealing a cloth cloak from the house of Mr. C.
Evans, of Vere-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields.

The prisoner, it appeared, took lodgings in the prose-
cutor's house about a week ago, and, after he had been
there about three days, he suddenly left, taking with him
the cloak in question, which was worth 30s. Yesterday
he returned to the house, and asked if he and his wife
could have a bed. He was then given into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, denied that he had taken
the cloak. If he had done so it was not very likely that
he would have gone back to the same house to ask for
a bed.

Mr. lIALL said he thought the prisoner had been
charged with a similar offence, before him, on a former
occasion, and, if he recollected rightly, he mado the
same defence.

The prisoner—Yes, Sir, I was sent to Clerkenwell,
and there tried, and sentenced to three months' imprison-
ment. The reason of that was, that the certificate of
my insanity did not arrive in time.
The prisoner was remanded that search might be made
for the cloak.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
A very considerable degree of excitement was created
i❑ the neighbourhood of Albany-street, New-road, yes-
terday evening, in consequence of the attempt by a man,
named William flansford, to murder his own son, Ar-
thur, a boy of eleven or twelve years of age, by beating
him about the head with a shovel. Fortunately, how-
ever, the alarm was given, and the interference of the
police prevented a fatal consummation. The boy was
taken to the University Hospital, where he lies in a
most critical state.

Alfred Hansford, the younger son, said that he lived
with his father, mother, and two elder brothers, at No. 3,
Munster-street, Albany-street. Arthur was the eldest,
and Edwin was the next to him. lle then gave a long
account of quarrels and fights which had taken place
between his lather and brother, and of the assault com-
plained of.
John King, 321 S, said that he heard cries of " Mur-
der" when on duty in Munster-street, and on running to
the prisoner's house, met him on the stairs, but not
knowing that he was the guilty person, permitted him to
pass. When he got into the room he saw the injured
boy in the centre of the floor, and his features quite un-
distinguishable from the blood. He supported him till
assistance came, and the only words he could articulate
were, " father," " asleep." Heard the prisoner after-
wards say that he " was aggravated the whole of the
day, and it was enough to drive a man mad." After-
wards, at the station-house, he said, " I am sorry for
what I have done."
Police-constable Harrod, 179 S, produced a shovel,
which was completely bent with the violence with which
it had been used upon the boy, and was deeply marked
with blood and hairs.

Police-constable Vickers, 183 S, took the prisoner into
custody. He said, "I am the man. I meant to pay him
out, for he had aggravated me all day."
He was remanded for a week.

PEDESTRIANISM UNPARALLELED.—B. Riding, alias
the Morning Star, who has undertaken to walk 1,500
miles in 1,500 successive hours, last night, at 12 o'clock,
completed the unparalleled number of 1,120 miles, a feat
hitherto unheard of, and there is not the least doubt
(sickness and accidents accepted) that he will accomplish
his arduous undertaking, for which he has, as yet, been
but very indifferently rewarded. He is walking from
the Grey Hound Inn, York-road, to the Crow Trees and
back. It is the Pedestrian's intention to walk one mile
at the commencement of every hour for the last 104)
miles.—Leeds Mercury.
Sir Robert Peel has had an electioneering " re-
fresher," in the shape of a dinner given by Captain
Townshend to his own supporters in Tamworth. The
speeches were hotly anti-Ministerial. Captain Towns-
bend promised to stand by the borough in future con-
tests. " Often had it been said to him How useless
for you to measure your strength with Peel 1' but he
knew that when Peel was nothing, his family had for
ages been established in that borough. —(Tremendous
cheering.)—Hull Advertiser. •

The French Minister of Finance, M. Lacave La'
plague, brought forward the annual budget on Friday.
It is of a very favourable character.
On Thursday evening their Majesties received the

M. Desfontaine, one of the supplementary judges of
the tribunal of Lille, appeared on Friday before the
Court of Cessation to the charge against him of having
visited the Duke de Bordeaux in London. The proceed-
ings were carried on with closed doors ; but the Gazelle
de _Fiance of yesterday evening states that the judgment
of the Court, after a deliberation of four hours, was cen-
sure and reprimand.
The Moniteur publishes a circular of the questors of
the Chamber of Deputies, informing the Peers that
seats would be reserved to them in the hall of the House
during the debate on the Address, and that the Members
of the British Parliament at present in Paris would be
admitted into the Peers' gallery.
'The Madrid Gazette of the Bth contains a Royal or-

A letter from Alexandria states that Ibrahim Paella
has confided the education of his sons to a learned Eu-

that an European tutor has been chosen by a Mahometn°
Prince for the education of his children.
The Duke de Nemours was to leave Paris for Brussels
in the course of the week, accompanied by the Prince

thirty thousand pounds sterling per annum.
His Royal Highness Duke Maximilian of Bavaria

PUBLIC OPINION.
The Times remarks, in an article suggested by a letter
of Mr. T. Attwood on the currency :—" Whatever foie!
have been our position in 1818, we have now pled%?
ourselves to pay our debts in an appreciated stand:rd.
On the strength of that pledge of ours, the greater Pert
of the national debt has probably changed hands half e
dozen times. Infants, widows, old or helpless persons,
charitable trustees, and sober men of business, have in.
vested their money in the funds at an augmented value'
and are living in confidence on the income which their
debtor has guaranteed to them. The thing is done, and
it is too late to withdraw. We are now bound by a d
finite bargain expressed in a certain nomenclature-.'
pounds, shillings, and pence. To cancel our liability
impossible. To evade it by arbitrarily changing that
nomenclature is a piece of tyrannous rascality. It weal
be quite another thing, if such a change were to be ore"
rated by natural causes. Of -this, we and our creditors'
like every other debtor and every other creditor, must
take cur chance. If, by circumstances over which nei-
ther we nor they have the control, the value of menel,,
rises, so much the better for them,—if it falls, so time'
the better for us."
We quote the following from the Post :—" The lest
ing journal of the Anti-Corn-law League party sera'
the Government proceed in Ireland against Mr. O'U°ll-
- and will not—as they dare not—pursue a similar
course against Mr. Cobden, they will make the most tia.
questionable admission, that they are unable to enter the
lists against the repealer of the corn-laws, and that th
feelings, wishes, and opinions of the most intelligent an,
influential classes in this country are in his favou%
With respect to this we wish to say, that we think r
who hold right principles of government must be sat's;
fled that the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law Legti„
are as much opposed to the right and wholesome action
of government in this country, as the proceedings of l'ar'
O'Connell in Ireland are at variance with the due
of government in that kingdom. Any systematic popular'
agitation against the law, and for. the purpose of bringing
the law into general odium by violent declamation against
it, ought to be put down."
The Herald says :—" We have heard lately of sundrY
runnings to and fro of the Whig underlings—the Charles
Butlers and Edward Stanleys ; whose endeavours sel
to be devoted, at the present moment, to form a new 01/0
compact alliance' between the members of the 1°,,,
Cabinet and the Anti-Corn-law League. True, 41,
broad and unqualified declaration of the held of tht
Cabinet, Lord Melbourne, stands rather awkwardly 1%
their:way:—' As to the notion of a total repeal of tue
present laws, I declare before God that it seems to MI
the maddest scheme that ever entered the brain of tnerteo
man 1' So protested the leader and mouthpiece of
Whig Administration—no one of his colleagues
testing against this unqualified language. To take IN
then, in less than three years, this same maddest' of e'
imaginable notions, would be, if possible, an adva,„.oeeet
even in Whig inconsistency and tergiversation. 1b
Lord John Russell is said to be in communication
Earl Spencer on this very topic, and the tone of Al'
Fox Maule's speech exhibits the same tendency."
The Chronicle, speaking of the Anti-Corn-law Leagr
societies, says— " The formation of these associations 1
in fact, calculated to aid the progress of corn-law reee%
The more discussion the better for us. The more th
advocates of protection disseminate their calculations'
and arguments, and invectives, the more apparent do
they make the hollowness and selfishness of their enio_r;
Let them work away, and agitate with all their might
theirs is a false creed, to which they never can convert
any man by argument—a shabby cause, in favour °f
which they can kindle no flame of popular feeling'
These associations will just put the fallacies of the Pr°4l;
tective system in a more precise shape, and, consequently
in one which will prevent their deceiving any one. Their
will make many think and examine the foundations ()
their creed, who now, without inquiry, swell the sh,°:°„

cussion will, probably, be that, as always happens

course of the discussion, be converted to the side °
justice and good sense."
COURT—FASHIONABLE.

The private advices from the United States and Canada are
not of very great interest. We find that in Canada the pros-
Peet of the formation of a new Cabinet by Sir Charles Met-
calfe was expected soon to be accomplished, as the more re-
119eetable portion of the inhabitants were ready to support bins
iii the administration of his Government. And indeed most
of the gentry, merchants, and others, in Kingston, had addressed
his Excellency, approving of his Government.
In his reply, Sir C. Metcalfe said, " I prize those sentiments
of loyalty to our gracious Sovereign, and attachment to the
mother country, which you evince, and which form the only
sure basis on which the welfare of this colony, as an integral
Portion of the British Empire, can be firmly established. On
.such feelings, I place my reliance for success in my resolution
to devote myself to the service of this province, and in my
endeavours to promote the prosperity and happiness of every
class of its inhabitants."
The season has set in, the thermometer being down to Zero.
There had been some good sleighing. •
The session of the Colonial Legislature had been abruptly
terminated, and we learn that the Governor-General had
shown something like temper in the proceeding.
The United States advices do not possess any importance,
and it is not necessary to refer to them here, as in another co-
Nino of The Sun further details are given.
An improvement has taken place in the public securities this

MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.
Last week the arrivals of English wheat up to our
market were on a very moderate scale ; but thoSe of
barley from all parts, were unusally large—those of
home grown alone amounting to over 12,000 quarters.
Of malt, beans, peas, and of flour, the supplies were
scanty. Fresh up from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, the
supplies of wheat were very small, . and, comparatively
speaking, somewhat out of condition, arising from the
lately prevailing damp weather. The quantity on show
not being equal to the wants of the dealers, who were
in good attendance, the demand for all descriptions of
both red and white was active, at an improvement in the
currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of I s per quarter,
and a clearance of the Essex and Kent stands was soon
effected : hence very little was left over for Wednesday.
There was an increased number of samples of Foreign
Wheat on show, yet the business doing in that article
was tolerably extensive, and, in some instances, the
quotations had an upward tendency, but not-sufficiently
so to warrant us in making any alteration in our prices.
A few speculative purchases were made in wheat under
lock, at full currencies. In consequence of the extreme
large supply of t arley offering, the demand was much
checked ; indeed, it must be culled heavy, at an abate-
in ent I a last week's prices of Is per quarter, and very
little progress was made in effective sales. Although
the quantity of malt brought forward was small, the in-
quiry for it was inactive, at rates barely equal to those
obtained on Monday last. The show of Oat samples
was large, and the dealers were by no means anxious
buyers. Prices, however, were about stationary. Beans
were very dull, and some of the factors gave way in their
demands by 1 s per quarter. In peas very little was doing.
The Flour trade was steady at late figures.

Although our market exhibited rather an extensive
supply of Beasts as to numbers, a very great deficiency
as to quality was observed in it, especially as relates to
that portion of it derived from our northern grazing dis-
tricts. The attendance of. buyers was tolerably numerous,
and notwithstanding the weather was favourable to
slaughtering, the Beef trade was inactive. However,
the primest Scots, Devons, runts, and Herefords, found
buyers, at prices about equal to those obtained on this
day se'nnight, the highest quotation ruling at 4s 2d per
Blbs, but the value of all other kinds had a downward
tendency; still a fair clearance was effected previously to
the conclusion of business. From Lincolnshire, Leices-
tershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about
2,300 short horns ; from Yorkshire—principally by
railway-120 beasts ; from the Western and Midland
counties, 200 Hunts, Herefords, Durhams, Irish beasts,
&c. ; from other parts of England 190 of various kinds;
from Scotland, by a steamer, 120 horned and polled
Scots ; and from Ireland 50 beasts. A considerable
in-
crease was apparent in the supply of Sheep, and which
produced some heaviness in the trade, and the rates in
consequence suffered an abatement of 2d per 81bs ; the
value of the best old Downs, which were rather more
numerous than of late, not exceeding 4s 4d per 81bs.
In Calves, the number of which was scanty, only a
moderate business was transacted, yet the currencies
were firmly supported. For Pigs we have to report a
firm demand, at prices fully equal to those of last week.
We are glad to be enabled to observe that very few cases
of the prevailing epidemic were observed in either beasts
or sheep to-day. Since our last no imports of live stock
have taken place from abroad, neither are any expected
for this market. The state of the demand to-day com-
pletely disappointed the expectations of the salesmen
and others ; but the cause of the depression must be
principally attributed to the immense arrivals of coun-
try-killed meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall-markets ;
and so long as they continue so extensive, so long will
the trade here rule heavy.

A very large arrival of slaughterad meat having
taken place since this day se'nnnight, together with the
supply of that killed in the metropolis being large for
the time of year, the general demand in these markets
has ruled excessively dull. However, in some few in-
stances, the quotations of the primest Beef and Mutton
have been supported, but those of the middling and infe-
rior kinds, as well as of Veal and Pork, have suffered
an abatement of quite 2d. per Bibs.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
About 2,850 tons of potatoes have arrived in the Pool
since this day se'nnight mostly from Scotland, Yorkshire,
and the Channel Islands. Prime qualities are in request
at full prices ; but in other kinds exceedingly little is
doing.
