CITY MARKETS, TWO O'CLOCK.

FM:tr.—The demand for the common descriptions has
(')usid.rabl - increased, and the deliveries from the ware-
-
Ottsos are rather large ; the prices, nevertheless, have not
'ten maintained, as the anxiety of the iMporters to effect
ales, deters the buyers from purchasing any large quan-
titY• New red Smyrna Raisins are now being sold at 41,5.
and :a large !parcel of new Valentias have been divided
tirnong the trade at 50s. New Sultana Raisins have been
taken off freely at 705., and there are very few remaining
on hand at present. New Currants go off very I,lowly at
thy quotations : in other descriptions there is very little
alteration to notice.

Itnn two to three hundred weavers out of work in KO-
Qarehsui alone, and the muslin trade is very bad also, as
tlany who have done their ntmoat to get cotton webs have
tint succeeded. The trade in Paisley is likewise notch de-
Dressed, and the wages fur labour were never lower even in
the worst of times. The working people are suffering
trdships with a calmness anti fortitude that ought to corn-
Naiad the attention and sympathy of their superiors in life.

MOST SINGULAR, TRIAL.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
COOPER 11"-1{1.Y.

From after eight o'clock the different avenues
leading into the Court were so crowded thLt tl►ere
was scarcely any possibility of forcing a passage.
It was with the utmost difficulty ~vith the most
active assistance of constables and the officers
of the Court that counsel, jury, and witnesses
could obtain an entrance. When they got in,
many of them presented a most ludicrous ap-
pearance, some of the wigs of the barristers were off,
others half off; some gentlemen had parts of their
coats torn entirely away, and so on. Scarcely on
any occasion was there so great an interest excited.
Almost every hospital surgeon and eminent practi-
tioner in London was present, besides an immense
number of students. The defendant appeared in
person on the floor of the Court at a few minutes
past nine; Mr. Brougha►n and Mr. Kelly,
,his Coun-
sel, were also present. Sir Jamas Scarlett, Mr.
Pollock, Mr. Scarlett, and Mr. Platt, Nvere Counsel
for the plaintiff. It was a quarter to ten o'clock
before the jurymen could gain admittance.
The Jury was special, but as not more than five
or six entered the box upon being called, Sir James
Scarlett said he prayed a tales with great reluctance.
Those who entered the box were the following :

Huntley Bacon, Thomas Henry, Henry -Laing,
M. Bocher, J. Westmorland, Richard Prance.
Among the Common Jury Men called, Robert San-
derson was objected to by Sir James Scarlctt.
The defendant laid on the floor a cast of a
child in the position in which a patient is tied
when undergoing the operation of lithotomy. He
had also a pelvis and case of instruments, such as
were used on the occasion. He applied to the
Judge to be accommodated with a table ; but his
Lordship stated that, in consequence of the pres-
sure at the doors, it was impossible for him to have
his wish met then ; but one was brought to him af-
terwards.

The following Jurymen were summoned, and fined
for non-attendance, 201. each :—Messrs. Blanchard,
Edward Burn, Burridge Davenport, James Hill,
John lienry Hanson, DuHton M‘Laughlan, and
Geo, Sheldon. Messrs. Burn, Davenport, Hanson,
and M‘Laughlan, worked their way in, and, after their
evidence WEIS takenovere admitted into the box. Upon
the Bench We noticed Sir Astley Cooper, Dr. Bro-
die, and Mr. Green. Dr. Roget sat to the left of Sir
James Scarlett, within the Bar.
Mr. SCARLETT Opened the pleadings.

Lanect:—
