SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Vittlir Optuton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

Accounts have been received from Zurich to the 3d. The
Diet did not meet on. the 2d ; and it does not appear that any
division had taken pl.ice on the question relative to the
Jesuits. _ _

In consequence of the communication in many parts of
France being blocked up with snow, the Minister of War has
decided that the call upon the conscripts of th 6 reserve, who
were to join their respective corps in the month of March, is
to be deferred till April. Accounts from Doubs represent the
cold as continuing with all its intensity in that country. The
river is entirely frozen over, and the winter has in all respects
been as severe as that of 1829-1830. _ _ _

A comparative table of the imports into France during the
years 1843, 1841, and 1845, has just been published. The
duties received in January, 1845, amounted to 11,360,029 f.
In 1844 they.were only 10,350,169 f., being 361,000 f. less than
the preceding year.
The Minister of Commerce has issued a circular notice to
the ports f the kingdom, announcing that he heel decided,
in concert with the Minister of Finances, that henceforth
captains of foreign ships Aall be at liberty to apply either to
the Marine-office, the Custom-house, their own Consuls, or
to the sworn commercial brokers, for certificates of their flags,
the tonnage of their vessels, the captains' names, the number
of their crews, the nature of their cargoes, and their destina-
tions.

General Santos, and Evarist San Miguel, and General
Aleson, have been permitted to return to Madrid. It was
reported that the number of Deputies in the new electoral
law, about to be presented to the Cortes, would be increased
by at least 100.

Since Monday last the imports of Foreign stock into Lon-
don have amounted to 40 Oxen, 20 Cows, and 35 Sheep, all
from Holland. The whole of these importations were
brought forward to-day, in, fur the most part—though there
were some useful animals amongst them—middling condi-
tion. From the fact that mosttof the Beasts varied in age
from five to six years, the demand for them was steady, at
fair prices, but the Sheep commanded very little attention.
The supply of home-fed Beasts was sufficiently numerous,
but, compared with those exhibited on this day se'nnight,
very deficient in quality ; indeed, we scarcely ever recol-
lect to have observed so rapid a falling off in that
particular as this morning. In consequence, therefore, of the
scarcity of prime Beasts, the demand for them was steady, at
an advance on last week's quotations of 2d per 81bs—the
highest figure being 4s per 81bs ; but the middling and in-
ferior Beasts were a slow inquiry, at about previous figures.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re-
ceived 1,800 Scots and Homebreds ; from the northern graz-
ing districts, 300 Short Horns, &c.; from the western and
midland counties, 400 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ;
from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ;
and from; Scotland 150 Horned and Polled Scots ;
the remainder of the Bullock supply being derived
from the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The
numbers of Sheep exhibited a falling off indeed, they
were somewhat limited for the time of year. Prime old
Downs were in steady request, and the turn dearer. All
other kinds were heavy, at previous figures. Calves were in
limited supply, and steady request, at full prices. In, Pigs
a fair average amount of business was doing, but at no more
money.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present
were the Lord Chancellor, Lor Brougham, and Lord
Campbell.

Tlicir Lordships were occupied the whole morning with
Scotch appeals of no general interest.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

NEW COURT.

Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK sat for a short time this morn-
ing, and dispoSed of several unimportant cases. At the con-
clusion, he thanked the gentlemen of the jury for their
attendance, and the sittings in this Court for the present
session terminated.

It is expected that the session will terminate to-day.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN BE WATSON.

In this case;the imolvent, who had carried en business as a
grocer and tea-dealer in the Hampstead-road, applied to
the Court to-day for his final order. The application was
opposed on the ground that the insolvent when he co'vt-
menced business was little better than a pauper, not having
a penny in the world, and that such being his circumstances
he contracted debts with a great number of persons without
the slightest possibility of ever being able to pay them.
Mr. Commissioner SnEppAnD said the question for the
consideration of the Court was, whether at the time that the
insolvent entered into trade he had any reasonable expecta-
tion of succeeding. It was possible that a man with a small
capital might succeed by industry, and in the present instance
he should grant the applicant his vesting order.

IN RH HENRY SIMI.

The insolvent had been an extensive horse-dealer, and the
amount of his debts and liabilities were upwards of 3,000!,
the greater number of which were contracted for horsos
bought principally at the large horse-fairs in the north of
England, and his petition was opposed by a great number of
farmers and breeders from that part of the country. In his
schedule he stated that the assets which could be made avail-
able to his creditors would be about 470/, but also that he
had a number of debts due to his estate which amounted to
1,5001., which were quite doubtful.
After a lengthened opposition the Court adjourned the case
for a fortnight, in order that the insolvent might amend his
balance-sheet.
London, England, 1845-03-10

TALLOW.

The markets during the week has been very dull, and prices
on the spot rather on the d :dine than otherwise. In New
Y. C. for the autumn there are sidlers at 39s 6d. but no incli-
nation to do business. The price r.t St. Petersburgh, accord-
ing to the last letters, is firm, and a fair business doing ; the
cost of Tallow is equal to about 40s 6(1 to 41s laid down here.
Town Tallow is 39s to 40s 6d net cash.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHAN GE.-(MONDAY.)
During the past week the arrivals of English Wheat, Malt,
and Flour were somewhat on the increase ; but those of all
other kinds of grain were only on a moderate scale. Fresh
up to-day the receipts of Wheat of home produce, from Lin-
colnshire, were tolerably good ; from all other quarters rather
I limited. The show of samples of both red and white was
tolerably good, yet the demand, for selected qualities was
steady, at prices quite equal to, but at nothing quotable be
yond those obtained on this day se'nnight. In all other
kinds of English Wheat only a moderate business was trans-
acted, yet the currencies were mostly supported, without,
however, a total clearance being effected. Of fine Foreign
Wheat the show was rather limited. Fine qualities were
again held at extreme rates ; but most other parcels met a
slow inquiry. In Corn under lock so little
was doing that the rates were almost nominal.
We hail a fair average supply of Barley on offer. Malting
parcels commanded a ready sale, at fully last week's prices ;
but all other kinds were in slow inquiry, though not cheaper.
The supply of Malt being more than adequate to meet the
wants of the dealer*, that description of Grain sold heavily,
and the inferior kinds sold in favour of the buyers. Although
only a moderate quantity of Oats was brought forward, it was
quite equal to the wants of the trade, most descriptions
moving off slowly, at previous figured. Beans were in
moderate supply, and sluggish inquiry, at last week's prices.
Grey Peas were scarcer, and in some instances Is per quarter
dearer; other kinds of Peas without alteration. Flour and
Seeds decidedly heavy, at late rates.

IN COME-TAX.

Lord EBRINGTON said that, seeing the income-
tax was sure to continue for three years, would pro-
bably continue for five years, and might possibly
continue for ever, begged to ask the Hon. Baronet,
the Member for the University of Oxford, whether
he intended to put his motion for levying the income-
tax on those incomes which were not less than 151/. ?
Sir K. INGLIS said that he certainly intended to
bring on the motion of which he had given notice ;
he wished he could say with the hope that it might
be levied on all incomes betweenlso/. and 2001. only,
on the difference between those sums, namely, on 501.

TO THE EDITO1! OF 7'IIE SUN.

SlR,—The flOuse having last night decided on re-
jecting the Bill for the Shrewsbury, Wolverhanipton,
and Birmingham Railway, I would request your in-
sertion of the fact that a requisition has been prepared,
and is already numerously signed, calling on the Com-
mittee of Management to dissolve the Company and
return whatever balance remains unexpended from the
amount deposited. The Shareholders have felt them-
selves called on to pursue this course from a full per-
suasion that the Committee and their officers have
forfeited all claim to their confidence by their number-
less instances of gross and palpable negligence proved
against them during the investigation before the Sub-
Committee on Standing Orders; and they think the
measure recommended in the requisition the only one
which affords them a chance of escaping the loss of
the whole amount which they have already advanced,
and of which a large portion has already been ab-
sorbed by the expenses of the undertaking.—l am,
Sir, your obedient servant,
A SHAREHOLDER.

THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN."

We hare received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiring the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
tirely with the Views-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
sat further aggrarteed by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post-
*flee fa') being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition.
This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamen'ary Debates up to a
Quarter to Seren—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together
with the " Prices Current' of WI the Markets, as well as Official
Prices of Shares in Railways, dc. &c.—The Beling at Tattersalrs on
Monday awl Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other
news arriving in London afier three o'clock in Ow afternoon, when the
B,cmd or Ecening Edition goes re press.
In dieant parts of the ountry, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE
mouss iN ADVAWCE, a mater of ithportance to those who want early
intelligence.
Ps those places where the evening snail arrives in the middle of the night,
the " MORNING .5.v," containing ALL the Debates, &c. &c., will
answer bed, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.
Respectable Agents will always supply aw proper paper; but where any
wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend, parties to write to " The
Ban" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their
represontations.

DEPOSITS AT THE ADELAIDE

GALLERY;

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—About eighteen years ago I became pos-
sessed of a very curious relic of former times. It was
a bottle so ingeniously manufactured, that it puzzled
the most clever mechanics of the present day to say
how it had been made. It was found at St. Anne's
Well, near Nottingham, and I procured it in that
vicinity. When I was subsequently at Edinburgh,
a report of so interesting a memento of days long
gone-bye in my possession reached the ears of Sir
Walter Scott, who was ever delighted in antiquarian
researches. He saw it—examined it very minutely
—and gave me his opinion of it in writing. That
opinion I will presently subjoin. But I first beg
leave to mention that from tradition, and from other
circumstances, it is not unreasonable to suppose that
the identical bottle in question at one period belonged
to the renowned Robin Hood,or some of the followers
of that famous freebooter. Now for the -opinion of
the " Great Wizard of the North."
Sir Walter Scott presents his compliments to Mr.
Rayner, and is greatly obliged to him for a sight of
the very curious leather bottle, presented to him
through the medium of Mr. William Murray, It
differs materially in shape from any Sir Walter Scott
has ever seen, and seems to him well calculated for
the purposes of an outlaw forester."
Having transcribed the written opinion of, perhaps,
the most competent judge then living on such
matters in the world, I was induced to send it for
exhibition at the Adelaide Gallery, for the gratifica-
tional note of the visitors to that establishment, and where
and until very
t recently,
remained for a
the
with numberorigin of yoa years,
gir Walter Scott
affixed to it.
Hearing, however, that the effects of the Adelaide
Gallery were about to be sold off, I reclaimed my
bottle, which was returned ; but without the autograph
of the great northern bard, and to which I attached as
much value as to the bottle itself, or indeed more.

Now, Sir, how can any person, in future, entrust
to the managers of a public exhibition an article of
value, who are so culpably ueglizent of their duty ?
The duty if the proprietors of the Adelaide Gallery
y ‘arestore my property in the same state as that
in which Iration it in their hands. had I
claimedto
r u depositedn from them they might have
•ern
had some excuse for their misconduct.
I shall, therefore, feel obliged by your publishing
these facts, and remain, &c.,
t. B. RAYNER.

TALLOW.

The markets during the week has been very dull, and prices
on the spot rather on the decline than otherwise. In New
Y. C. for the autumn there are sellers at 39s 6d. but no incli-
nation to do business. The price at St. Petersburgh, accord-
ing to the last letters, is firm, and a fair business doing ; the
cost of Tallow is equal to about 40s 6(.1 to. 41s laid down here.
Town Tallow is 39s to 40s Gd net cash.

RAILWAY COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY.)
Sub-Committee Number 1 assembled this morning in Com-
mittee-room number 7, in the cloisters of the House of Com-
mons. The Committee consisted of Sir Wm. Heatheote,
Chairman, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, Mr. Evans, and Mr. Childers.
SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY.
This railway, which is to be forty-eight miles long, will
commence at the Syston station, on the Midland Counties
line, and will cost 750,000/.
This was an opposed case, and the Committee decided that
the standing order had been complied with.
London, England, 1845-03-10

their forbearance on this point a mistaken one, as
we consider it to be, or not, in this matter they have
not hesitated to vindicate that principle by a generous
and disinterested sacrifice of the most effective of all
the means of partisan warfare that can reconquer and
consolidate political power. Nor is it possible to be-
lieve that had Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his friends
been of that class of political mercenaries who can
readily persuade themselves to blink the stringency or
application of their recorded professions under the
extreme exigency of altered circumstances, they
would not have found a most formidable diversion
in their operations for re-effecting their junction
with office, in acting upon the acknowledged
divisions and dissatisfactions that have long existed in
the Conservative camp, between its Commander-in-
Chief and some of those officers who have given him
good aid, and done some signal tervice in executing
certain movements rendered essential by his scheme
of action, whilst he was still in the " open country" of
opposition.

Now, however, since the opposed forces have so
amicably combined their movements in several direc-
tions as to take away from those movements all cha
ratter of hostite conflict, we really wish they would,
in a sober, business-like manner address themselves fb
the business of amicably ascertaining, and publishing
to the world, what the points are on which they do,
and what are theS3 on which they do not, in the
main, concur. "Justice to Ireland," we have a fond
and confident hope, is about to he no more a
mere ironical figure, thrown in the teeth of every
successive Government by every successive Opp4i-
tion ; but the grand object of a grand imperial policy
about to be carried out to the letter of its promise
It is the mere dismounted, invalided, non-effective
proportion of either force, which cannot yet be disci-
plined to a right appreciation of the free-trade evo-
lutions, so utterly unknown when they first entered
the service, but now becoming so universally popular
with all sections of the " effective rank ani file."
Beneath the influence of the sugar question, under its
various phases, and in relation to the various schemes
of duty, the most embittered misunderstandings of
party and local prejudices are becoming much miti-
gated. Animosities—active hostilities—those pitched
battles that determine in divisions only ex-
cepted (and even these not always)—turn
rather upon details than broad abstract
principles. Pity that the combatants can-
not be induced to compromi..,e their remaining dif-,
ferences, and enter into some sort of honest, straight-
forward, public-spirited negotiations, which for the
first time in the history of parties contracting, or
coalescing, s: all have for their object the true welfare
of the country, awl the much-neglected interests of
the overtaxed, long suffe-ing, and patiently enduring
British consumer of the corn, colonial produce and
foreign commodities, with which there seems to be,
happily, an awakened desire to indulge him for the
future on snore reasonable terms than have yet been
accorded to him.

LATER FROM AMERICA.

By an arrival at Liverpool we have received New York
journals to the 12th of February. The last accounts from

Washington stated that the Conimittee of the Senate on the
foreign relations had reported on the Texian question. The
report is very long, but the importance of the document lies
in its conclusion, which is as follows :

"The Committee respectfully recommend the adoption of
the following resolutions :
" Resolved—That the joint resolution from the House of
Representatives for the annexation of Texas to the United
States be rejected.
"' Resolved—That the several Bills and joint resolutions
originating in the Senate, the resolutions of sundry State
Legislatures, and the petitions and memorials ofmany citizens
of the United States, for and against the annexation of Texas
to this union, which have been referred to this Committee, do
lie upon the table.'"
The Committee consisted of Mr. Archer, of Virginia,
Chairman, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Berrien, Mr. Morehead, Mr.
Choate. Mr. Buchanan only dissented from the report. The
discussion was expected to commence immediately, and no
doubt appears to have been entertained of the adoption of the
above resolutions.

The money, stock, and commercial markets were in a
buoyant state. The New York Commercial Advertiser of the
11th of February says that the sales on the Stock Exchange
that day were to a large amount. Kentucky Sixes improved
; Illinois special bonds, ; Morris Canal, 1' • Erie Railroad,
; Stonington Railroad, ; Long Island Railroad declined,
; Norwich and Worcester, ; Canton Co., IL

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.

_ (Sittings after Term, before the LORD CHIEF BARON
and a Common Jury.)
GREEN WAY V. MARSHALL.

This was an action of assumpsit upon a warrant, to
which the defendant had pleaded the general issue.
Mr. Jervis and Mr. Miller appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Hutnfrey for the defendant.
It appeared that the plaintiff had purchased a mare
from the defendant, which was warranted to be sound,
but subsequently the mare exhibited lameness in its fore
feet, and the present action was brought to recover back
the amount which had been paid for her, namely 16/.
For the defence, it was urged that previous to the sale
of the mare she had never presented any symptoms of
lameness whatsoever, and the defendant, therefore, gave
the warranty, fully convinced and believing that the mare
was without a blemish.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE ruled that this was no de-
fence to the action. It mattered not whether the un-
soundness was not discovered, or whether the defendant
became aware of it prior to, or after, the sale, provided
it could be proved that it actually existed at the time the
warranty was given. That was the case here, and the
jury must find for the plaintiff:
The jury returned a verdict accordingly—Damages 161.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in London at Nisi Prius, before the LORD
CELIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.)
SYDDIONDS V. DEXTER. _ .

This was an action of debt to recover the sum of 341,
being the price of three horses, which the defendant was
alleged to have bought from the plaintiff. The latter is
a veterinary surgeon, the former a publican and horse-
dealer, in Whitechapel. The defence set up was, that
the defendant received the horses to put into good con-
dition, and then sell upon commission ; but, that, in con-
sequence of the plaintiff's obstinacy in refusing to allow
them to be sold, when reasonable offers were made, they
were kept on expensive food—oil cake, white peas, and
meadow hay, until the cost of their keep exceeded the
amount for which they were ultimately sold. The evi-
dence, as is frequently the case where horses are con-
cerned in the cause of action, was quite contradictory.
Mr. Petersdorff appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Sergeant Allen for the defendant.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up with
great clearness and minuteness, the jury without hesita-
tion returned•a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 341.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE BRADSHAW.
This bankrupt, who was a draper at St. Alban's, came
up for his certificate. He was opposed on the ground
that he had improperly assigned the whole of his pro-
perty just previously to his bankruptcy, to secure a
