JAMAICA MARKETS.
(From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)
Flour—The arrivals of this article have been to an
unusually great extent, and the market is in some mea-
sure overstocked; nevertheless, prices are not so much
in favour of buyers as might have been expected.
Operations have been effected in Baltimore, at from 335
to 31s, according to quantity and quality. Georgetown
has also been moved at 323, the balance of a cargo
rather dry and old was closed at 31s. There is still a
large quantity in importers' hands.
Meal is very dull, owing in a great measure to the
abundance of native vegetables. We quote the article
at 163 6d a 17s, at wbich rates some sales have been
made.
Rice is plentiful. Several hundred bags Bengal have
been resold at 13s 6d per 1001bs. Carolina is rather
quiet, with partial resales of the large lot sold at auction,
at 16s per 1001bs, and reported in our la.t.
Batter-250 firkins Cork, were placed at &id. in 3 lots,
and other sales of late arrivals Lave been made at 10d.
per lb., in small quantities, at which rate holders are
firm. We hrve not heard of any transactions in Ame-
rican. Halifax, of prime qunality, commands Bd., and
52 kegs have been taken thereat—for a parcel of inferior,
however, 6d. could not be got at auction.
Bread is very quiet with a limited stock, and sales
are confined to retail parcelt at 17s for pilot and 22s for
crackers. Wattson's command Is. per barrel higher.
Mackerel—Last sales of prime were at 265. per barrel,
but the article is taken very slowly at this rate. There
are one or two parcels of inferior quality at mar-
ket, but we are not aware if any offer has been made
for them.
Salmon-20 tierces Hudson's Bay Co.'s, which had
been sold to arrive at 108 s. per trc. have been received.
27 barrels No. 3 from Halifax were taken, on arrival, at
603. but proving rusty were rejected and re-sold at 50s.
No. 1 is worth 683. per barrel.
Herrings are exceedingly scarce, with the exception
of a few barrels in a cargo of Halifax, which sold at
20s. per barrel ; there are not any prime at market.
Alewives are beeoming scarce. Full weight barrels,
No. 1, command 18s a 203.
Oil—The last arrival of Cod—a few barrels only—re-
alized 3s. 3d. per gallon. The article is wanted.
Lard may be quoted at sd. a sid. for prime quantity,
with a moderate demand. _ _

Codfish-Three cargoes have arrived in quick succes-
sion since our last. The half of the first was taken
at 155. 3d. for large and small frill in casks together, and
boxes at 18s. The remainder was parcelled out at 15s,
for casks, and same price per box. But little ple,gress
has been made in the sale of the other cargoes at the
latter rates, and the article hangs rather heavily on hand
theareat. The market is well supplied.
Pork is generally inactive. Some sales of mess have
been made at 725. per barrel, and of prime at 60s. to 625.;
but notwithstanding its inactivity, holders are firm at our
quotations.
Hams-A few parcels of American have been moved
nt 6W. a 7d. We have not heard of any transactions in
English, which are scarce. The former are plentiful.
Soap is very dull of sale at previous rates.
Candles-Tallow in good assortments are wanted.
The last sale was one of 300 boxes at 7icl. per lb., and
that rate would now be given readily.
Cheese-We quote American at 7d. a 7d., and Eng-
lish at lld per lb.
Lumber-We report sales of 45,000 feat W. P. from
Halifax, at 1003. 120,000 feet from St. John, N. 8., at
same rate, and a cargo from Calais (Maine), is now being
placed at the same figure. The market is well supplied.
No transactions in other descriptions have reached us.
Beef-Family commands 463. per half barrel, and
245. per quarter barrel.
Tongues-Not any sales are reported.
Brandy-Some operations have been effected at ss. Bd.
a ss. 9d. per gallon for Martell's. The latter figure was
paid for a parcel of 10 hogsheads.
Corn- We report a sale of 200 bags Savanilla, new
crop, at 3s. 6d per bushel, cash; old of the same descrip-
tion is taken in smaller parcels, at 3s. a 3s. 3d. per bushel.
Rum-200 puncheons have been taken on speculation
at 3s. per gallon, for proof 21, daty paid.
Sugar-The stock at market is accumulating, but
holders are yet firm at our last quotations.
Coffee is in very small supply. A few trivial sales
have been made at 365. per 10Olbs. for ordinary.
Pimento-tid. per lb. is freely offered, and in some
instances the article has been prucured thereat, but
holders generally demand higher prices.
Logwood is abundant and freely offered at 36s per ton.
Ginger-No operations have reached us ; but we may
report the article at our last rates-say 6d. to Is. per lb.,
according to quality.
Freights-There are not a great many vessels on the
berth-but as the quantity of produce offering is small,
tonnage is quite abundant, and, consequently, in little
inquiry.

ST.BARNABAS CHURCH, PIMLICO

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—Yesterday the votaries of Puseyism at the
above place were somewhat thrown back by a burst
of indignation from some persons attending that
so•called " place of worship" (which would be better
designated as a "place of amusentent"),who cried out,
"No Popery !" They were doubtless men who
could not retrain from giving vent to their feel-
ings as Englishmen whose rights and pri-
vileges of worshipping their God in the purity
and simplicity taught by the Gospel, have
been basely usurped, who could not sit down
quietly and see such practices observed at once dero-
gatory to themselves:as:men and Christians in a Chris-
tian country, but also unwarranted by the Holy
Scriptures, which alone are able to make men wise
unto salvation. Let us, however, mark the effect pro-
duced upon the ministers who of course by their
calling are expected to set an example to the people,
and to show their courage in firmly maintaining the
religion of the Church of England whenever it should
be attempted to be interfered with. Well, Sir, they
showed their courage by closing the church in the
evening, they showed their courage by obtaining a body
of policemen, and stationing them round the building
to prevent the mob collected from creating a riot,
and further they showed their courage by posting
bills on the various doors " that the service (query)
would be discontinued in the evening until further
notice." This naturally has produced a sensation in
the neighbourhood, and well it may. If their doc-
trines and observances are proper, why should they be
afraid of continuing them ? There is the law to
punish the peacebreaker, which should be suffi-
cient for their protection ; but methinks that they
partake little of the courage of their patron saint,
who went through " trials and tribulation" for the
truths's sake, which they at the very shadow of
danger cowardly run from.
At a time like the present, when an effort is being
made f,r the overthrow of the Church, it must be
gratifying to find that there are those who will not
shrink from warning, even in the sanctity
of a church, men (who should be teachers of the word)
that they are swerving from the oaths taken by them
at their ordination, and that they are not preaching
the truth as it is in Christ Jesus.

Apologizing for this intrusion on your space, but
feeling assured you will use your powerful pen in
banishing all innovations of the Church of Rome, I
give you this statement of the feelings in the neigh-
bourhood of this Puseyite Church.
I am, Sir, yours most obediently,
Nov. 11. VERITAS.

THE HAT NUISANCE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—Now that the great Exhibition is fairly
before the public it is gratifying to notice the desire
evinced by all classes to appear before our numerous
foreign guests the intelligent and active tuition we
enjoy the credit of being, whilst at the same time the
opportunity is seized upon of directing attention to all
necessary reforms amongst ourselves.

I am desirous, Sir, through your courtesy, of avail-
ing myself of the columns of The Sun to direct a little
of that attention to a subject of the highest import-
ance, concerning, as it does, not only the personal
comfort and convenience of all, but even the reputa-
tion of the nation for judgment and good taste. I
allude, Sir, to the abominable fashion of disfiguring our
persons with those ugly and inconvenient articles of
dress—hats. Can nothing be done in this approaching
eventful year to remove this outrage on good taste,
this relic of barbarism ? -Ugly and cumbersome,
heavy and uncomfortable, without a single recom
mendation, it neither protects the face from sun,
wind, or rain—is always in the way when not in use,
and when on the head a disfigurement to the person—
perhaps the only alloy in an English gentleman's
costume. Of the truth of this latter argument what
better proof can be had than in the fact of the in-
variable rejection of the hat in every work of art,
whether painting or sculpture. Who would think of
having his portrait taken with his hat on ? Yet such
is not the case ire those countries not cursed with such
a frightful fashion. The graceful Spanish hat, or even
the Turkish turban, form a picturesque and lively
adornment to a picture. Surely it is only necessary to
arouse the public from its apathy on the subject, and
a convenient substitute will soon be four d. The en-
suing year will afford an opportunity for the much-
desired change, which should not be suffered to escape.
The appearance of so many foreigners and styles of
dress will enable us to set the tyrant fashion for once

at defiance, whilst a prize hat at the Exhibition will
point to something from which r. substitute may readily
be adapted.
With many apologies fur this encroachment on your
valuable space, I need only expre4s an earnest hope that
t'oe übject wilt nut be allowed to drop.---I am, Sir, &c.

THE BURGLARY AT THE RE-

GENT'S-PARK.

The four men, Dyson, Mahon, Robinson, and Mit-
chell, who are implicated in the burglary committed
at the house of Mr. Holford, in Regent's-park, on the
night of the 13th ult., were brought lIP again, at the
Marylebone Police-court, yesterday, and re-exa-
mined bdore Mr. Broughton.
Mr. Wontner attended on behalf of Robinson, and
Mr. Superintendent Haynes to watch the case for the
Police Commissioners.

Mr. Wakefield, the surgeon of the House of Deten-
tion, was the first witness called, and be deposed to the
state in which Mitchell was in when he was commit-
ted to that prison. His left side was covered
with gun-shot wounds, from the neck to the
hip, but since he had been under his treatment no
slot had come away. There were, howarcr, several
shots in the nape of the neck and different parts of the
head. He had seen the hat produced by the police,
which was found near to the scene of the burglary,
and the perforations in it, which appeared to have
been produced by gun-shots, corresponded with
the situation of the wounds on the back of the
h.ad. From the hip to the head, no less than 60 or
70 shot must have penetrated the skin. The prisoner
was very bldly wounded when he was brought to the
House of Detention, but now he was fast recovering.
This was the whole of the evidence.
Mr. Wontner asked if any more evidence would
be produced against his client Rubinson ?
Mr. BROUGUTON replied in the negative.
The depositions of the witnesses who had been
examined on former occasions were then read over.

-
Mr. BROUGUTON then asked each prisoner if he
had anything to say, giving them the usual caution,
that what they said would be taken down in writing,
and might be used against them on their trial.
None of the prisoners, however, said anything, and
they were all fully committed for trial, with the ex-
ception of Robinson, who was discharged with a
caution.

The court, as on all the previous examinations,
was crowded to excess.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 9.
HOLLOWAY V. HOLLOWAY.—INJUNCTION.
This case came on for argument, by appointment,
u -day.
Mr. TURNER opened the case for the plaintiff, and
stated that the injunction which he was instructed to
' move for could hardly be refused under the circum-
stances it was his duty to state • and the affidavits
which had been filed by the defendant since the case
was before the Court very imperfectly attempted to
answer the case made out by the plaintiff in behalf
of the injunction. He read the following affidavits :
"Thomas Holloway, the inventor of the ointment
and pills, deposed that in the year 1837 the plaintiff
invented an ointment, and in 1839 a pill, since known
as Holloway's Pills and Ointment,' which for seve-
ral years had a high repute with the public for their
, curative and healing qualities; and that large quanti-
ties were now sold in the United Kingdom, and in all
quarters of the globe ; that the plaintiff had ex-
pended 150,0001. in establishing the sale of his medi-
cines, which are more extensively sold than any pa-
tented medicine in use. About May last the defendant
(Henry Holloway) commenced the sale of his pills and
ointment, at No. 9, Walbrook, and since then at 210,
is the Strand; and the defendant described the latter
to be his manufactory, but the premises consisted of
only two empty rooms on the second floor. The de-
fendant had stated in his advertisements that he had
expended large sums of money in advertising his me-
dicines, which assertion the plaintiff denied, and al-
leged that he had not expended in advertisements
more than one podnd per week at the utmost, and
that sum only for colourable purposes. The affidavit
of Mr. Thomas Young, of Hatton-garden, deposed
that he had learned from the defendant himself that
the defendant had applied to the Stamp-office to have
medical stamps struck off for him, with the words,
Holloway's Pills and Ointment,' engraved thereon,
which the authorities refused to do. He had then
stated that he should carry out his speculation without
being obliged to advertise the medicines, as his bro-
ther has already sufficiently advertised them, and
would continue to do so."
William Hall, 190, Strand, said the defendant had
hired part of his shop-window for the sale of his pills
and ointment. The defendant informed the said
William Hall that his pills and ointment were pre-
pared and made up for sale in such a manner as to
resemble those of the plaintiff, so that they might be
sold for the plaintiff's; and to a remark that the
initial letter "H " of the surname of the de-
, iendant would betray the deceit, the defendant re-
plied that would never be noticed by the public.
Amy Newberry's deposition was, that she had used
for a twelvemonth the pills and ointment of the plain-
tiff ,vith good effect for the dropsy ; that on the 25th
of September last she purchased both pills and oint-
ment at a shop in Harrow-road, which proved to be
injurious to her on two occasions, when she took
eight of the pills. The pills, upon examination, were
found not to be those of the plaintiff. Other affidavits
were read, which proved that the defendant had ob-
tained his recipe for his pills from a young medical
student, and another for the ointment from a different
party, and that neither had been prepared in the same
manner as the plaintiff had prepared his, though they
were put up in boxes and pots of the same make as
those of the plaintiff's medicines, with labels corres-
ponding in nearly every respect, and in wrappers and
direction papers copied almost literally from those
made by the inventor. There were other affidavits
to prove that the defendant had endeavoured to in-
duce patent medicine vendors to sell the de-
fendant's pills and ointment as those of the
plaintiff, and that they had been offered at a reduced
price, or to be left on sale or return ; that he had
failed to induce the Messrs. J. Pratt and Co., potters,
of Lane Delph, Staffordshire, to furnish him with
pots of the pattern of the plaintiff, having inscriptions
burnt in upon them, purporting to contain his, Hol-
loway's Ointment; that he had given instructions to
Gayneau, to draw up two direction papers, consist-
ing of twelve and of eight pages, the same number of
pages as are used by the plaintiff, which papers were
to be only a little altered in phrases from those of the
plaintiff, so as to deceive buyers into the belief they
were purchasing the plaintiff's medicines; that he
had succeeded in getting lithographers, pill-cutting
machine-makers, &c., to aid the defendant in his de•
ception, and that some of the wholesale dealers told
him that they must refuse to vend his medicines un-
less specially asked for, as his was too palpable a de-
ception. The Learned Counsel (with whom was
Mr. Miller) remarked that the case could hardly by
possibility be carried further to prove that a gross
fraud had been practised upon the trade, and the cus-
tomers of the plaintiff, and that the pirating of the
plaintiff's boxes, labels, and printed productions, fully
authorised the Court to grant the injunction.
Mr. ROUPEL, for the defendant, observed that the
plaintiff was fully aware for sale time that the defen-
dant had been making the medicines; the names
were idem sonans, and likely to be confounded. The
plaintiff had his action at common law, and yet
had not availed himself of it. The defendant had
not had sufficient time to put in such an answer as
he might have done had he had an opportunity to
do so.
The affidavit of Henry Cunningham stated that he
had been a workman to plaintiff, and now served
the defendant. He traversed the statements of se-
veral of the plaintiff's witnesses, admittieg that he
had solicited orders for Henry Holloway's medicines,
butdenying thathe had represented them to be the plain-
tiff's medicines. The defendant's affidavit stated that
he had obtained the secret of preparing his ointment
from a party, and not being similar to that of the
plaintiff. He denied that in making the application
to Somerset House on two occasions to have a dis-
tinctive stamp he intended to practise any deception
on his brother or pirate his invention.
Mr. White followed on the same side; and upon
Mr. Turner rising to reply,
Lord LANGDALE said he would not trouble the
Learned Counsel to reply upon the case. -The names
of the plaintiff and of the defendant in this case were
the same. His Lordship did not, he said, mean to
abridge the right of the defendant to vend an article
in which he dealt, but he could have no right to pre-
pare and get up that article so as to resemble the
article invented by the plaintiff, and thereby deceive
the public into a belief that it was that of the
plaintiff. It was only necessary to refer to the evi-
dence of Gayneau to see that the defendant had
given orders that the direction papers of the plaintiff
should serve as a guide or model of the pamphlets
which the defendant wished him to prepare, so as
to pass with the public as the pamphlets of the
plaintiff. This was a direct avowal of an intention
to commit a fraud upon the plaintiff. It was stated
also to Hall, by the defendant, that the intro Nairn' of
the initial letter " H" for Henry would never he no-
ticed, and the medicines might be very well sold as
those of his brother. This was certainly a description
of property which was protected by law, and when it
• came under the jurisdiction of the Court it must have
the benefit of that protection. The only thing which
pressed upon the Court was the suggestion that the
defendant had not had time enough to put in a suffi-
cient answer. His Lordship, would, therefore, intro-
duce into the terms of the order for the injunction
which he was determined to grant in this instance,
permission to the defendant to move to dissolve the
injunction should he be provided with sufficient evi-
dence to contradict the plaintiff's affidavits.
' The injunction as prayed by the plaintiff's bill was
' accordingly granted.
