the like question was in every one's mouth, when
probably the best lawyer among the fifteen judges,
and one in acuteness, firmness, and uprightnessi
second to no judge that ever sat in a court of
Mr. Justice Patteson, was elevated to his present relit.
These examples, and w could multiply them to a large
amount, prove that the very best judges may fre-
quently be found among members of the profes-
sion, of whom the public hears little or 110-
thing. Let us not, however, be misunderstood ;
we have not, at present, the slightest means of
guessing the gentleman who is likely to succeed Mr.
Justice Erskine ; he may belong to the class of
the well-known or to the comparatively unknown.
We have cited the examples referred to merely
to show how unjustly the profession is treated by
the publication of an exclusive list of candidates :
how unjustly, indeed, the public is treated, for, as far
as the publication is available for any purpose (and it
is not made, we presume, without some purpose) the
exclusive list must go to limit the selection of the
best judge. The worst injustice, however, is that
offered to the published candidates, and the injustice is
nearly equal whether the party is named for commen-
dation—whether he is successful or unsuccessful in
the competition. If commended and successful, he is
degraded to the condition of owing his success to
newspaper patronage ; if commended and unsuccessful,
a numerous body are interested in showing that the
pretensions assigned to him are fallacious ; if de-
nounced, we need hardly say how unfair it is to make
a man a candidate against his will, for the purpose
merely of abusing him, his family connexions, and
his friends.

aside the verdict as against evidence, and on the ground r
of misdirection. The Learned Sergeant contended that
on the trial it was proved that the plaintiff had com-
Witted an aet Of bankruptcy in keeping out of the Way of
the defendant tin eollettiiig day (that following the Attie/
and that the Learned Judge had misdirected in stating
to the jury that his absence on that occasion did not
amount to the bankruptcy imputed. This was the only
point in the ease.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE concurred with the tettentd
Baron who tried the case, as it appeared from the evi•
dence of the defence itself, that in point of fact Mr.
Blackburn sold his goods for the purpose of paying his
creditors, and that he accordingly did actually direct the
defendant to be paid out of the proceeds. The defendant
acknowledged the impropriety of the imputation, when
he withdrew the letter.
The COURT was, therefore, agreed that the verdict
was good, and their Lordships refused the rule.
The Court rose at half-past twelve o'clock.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER; Nov. 4.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)

31`MILLAN V. SIMMS.

Mr. Jervis and Mr. Ogle appeared for the plaintiff,
Mr. Watson for the defendant.
This was an action on a bill of exchange for 501.,
dated the 14th of March, 1843, for three months, drawn
by a person named Webb on the defendant, and en-
dorsed by Webb to a person of the name of Chandler.
Mr. JEavts stated that the plaintiff was a collecting
clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Drummond and
Co , Charing-cross, and the defendant a clerk in the
office of the Commander-in-Chief, at the Horse Guards.
The following witnesses were then called by the
Learned Counsel, to prove the case:—
George Edward Cooke, clerk to Messrs. Cox and
Greenwood, the army agents, proved that the bill was in
the handwriting of Webb. The bill was made payable
at the Commander-in-Chief's office.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 4.

The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in his Court at West-
minster, shortly after 10 o'clock.

John Basterfield presented the bill when it had become
due at the office of the Commander-in-Chief He saw
the defendant there, to whom he mentioned the business
on which he had called. The defendant desired him to
leave a notice of the bill, and told him that it would be
attended to. _

MALCoM V SCOTT—JUDGMENT.

His Lordship gave judgment in this case to-day, the
facts of which we gave a full account on its hearing in
July last. his Lordship affirmed the judgment below
with costs. The Lord Chancellor then proceeded to
hear appeal motions and lunatic petitions which occu-
pied the Court the whole day.

Cross- examined by Mr. WATsoN—Had never seen
Simms before nor since. Does not know either Webb or
Chandler. M`Millan resided at No. 4, Oxendon-street ;
he is a porter or messenger at Messrs. Drummond's
bank, and is in the habit of taking out letters and bills.
Mr. WATSON then addressed the jury for the defen-
dant. He said the defendant had held a clerkship in
the Commander-in- Chief's office for upwards of twenty
years. Mr. Webb had been for a great number of years
in the same office. In the course of the year 1843 Mr.
Webb, who had made some purchases of leasehold pro-
perty, was in want of money, and obtained the signature of
the defendant to several bills of exchange by way of ac-
commodation—in fact, Mr. Simms put his name to a large
mass of paper, and had had to pay on account of those
bills upwards of 2,0001 The bill for which the action
was brought was put into the hands of Chandler, for the
purpose of getting it discounted ; but he (Webb)
never received a single farthing. Mr. Webb had been
unfortunate, ant was now an inmate of Whitecross-
street prison. When the defendant stated that the bill
would be taken up, he did so in the belief that Mr.
Webb, in whom he had confidence, would take it up.
He (Mr. Watson) could not understand why so much
time had been allowed to expire before the action was
brought. The bill became due on the 17th of June.
1843, and the action was not brought until June in the
present year. If the transaction had been a bona fide
one, it was unlikely that the matter would have been
allowed to rest for twelve months. He should call Mr.
Webb before the Court. _

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 4.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.)

Ili; Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England having
on Saturday disposed of all his short causes, proceeded to-
day to hear unopposed cause petitions which occupied
the Court the whole day. No case of the least possible
interest came before the Court.

(Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce and Wigram are at
present sitting in the Westminster Sessions-house.)
(Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.)
MALINS V. PRICE.

His Ho!court pronounced judgment this morning in
this case, which was heard immediately before the long
vacation. At the conclusion of the hearing his Honour
directed certain issues to be tried upon the question in-
volved, namely, the mode of working certain mines in
Glartiorganshire. The issues having been tried before
Mr. Justice Matteson, and the findings of, the jury
not being satisfactory to the defendant, a motion on his
behalf for a new trial was made before his Honour
during the vacation, and on this motion the Court now
proceeded to deliver judgment.
His HONOUR, after enumerating in detail the various
objections urged by the defendant against the finding of
the jury, said he saw no ground upon which -those
objections could be sustained, and he, therefore, thought
himself bound to adhere to the finding of the jury, and to
refuse the motion for a new trial, with costs.
Mr. KENYON PARKER said that, in consequence of his
Honour's decison, he must apply for the injunction to
prevent the working of the mines by patchwork, as the
motion for that injunction had, in accordance with pre-
vious arrangement, been kept in abeyance until his
Honour's decision was known.

Mr. George Webb was then examined. He said he
was formerly a clerk in the Commander-in-Chief's
office. He had been there 35 years. Mr. Simms ac-
cepted several bills for his (Webb's) accommodation, and
he paid him nothing for them. He (Webb) took the bill
to Mr. Chandler, who at that time was a bill discounter,
and resided in Bury-street, St. James's.
Mr. WATSON—Did you ever get one farthing for the
bill ? Witness (emphatically)—No.
Cross-examined by Mr. JERVIS—Is an inmate of
Whitecross-street Prison. Was dismissed from the War-
office about six months ago. Why were you dismissed?
Witness—Out of matters which arose out of these trans-
actions. Was it not for putting Simms's name to bills
to the amount of 2,0000
Mr. Baron ALDERSON (the witness being embarrassed)
—You need not answer that unless you like—it is a very
awkward question. If you answer it in the affirmative
you will be sent to Newgate.
Witness—Am I obliged to answer it ?
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—No.
The witness accordingly did not reply to the question.
The jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff, for
531. 9s.

Counsel on the other side having stated that his clients
were not prepared for the adoption of such a course—not
being able to foresee the judgment of the Court—the
motion was, in consequence, postponed.
(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)

His HoNouß disposed of a number of cause petitions
which were unopposed, and then proceeded to hear causes.

HARRIS V. HARRIS.

This case came before the Court on exceptions. It
was a suit which was instituted by the personal repre-
sentative of a deceased partner against the surviving
partner, for the accounts of a partnership which was
alleged to have been entered into between the deceased
and his father, the defendant.
The statement in the bill was, that in the year 1834
Walter Harris, who was the husband of the plaintiff,
entered into partnership with his father Thomas Harris
in the business of jobmasters, postmasters, and omnibus
proprietors at Richmond, and that the business was
carried on between them under the style or firm of
" Harris and Son," on the premises called " Wellington-
yard," from the month of June 1834 till the time of
Walter Harris's death. The deceased made
his will in September, 1843, and died,
and the plaintiff was alleged to be his personal repre-
sentative. After the death of Walter Harris the de-
fendant continued in possession of the business, never
having rendered any account to the plaintiff of Walter
Harris's share. In the month of October he sold a con-
siderable portion of the effects of the partnership by
public auction, and received all the moneys for them, and
on being applied to for an aceount of these moneys, and
for a dividend of the share to which she, as personal re-
presentative of the deceased husband was entitled, he
denied that there was any partnership existing between
them, consequently it became necessary to file the present
bill, which was done in Dec., 1843. To that bill a plea
and answer were put in. On the 29th of February, 1844,
the plea was argued and disallowed, with liberty to the
defendant to amend it. The defendant amended his plea,
and the amended plea was set down for argument and
disallowed on the Ist of May. Twenty-four exceptions
were taken to the answer, and the first six were allowed
by the Master. The Master considered that it was
not necessary to hear any more, those which were
allowed being sufficient for all the purposes of the plain-
tiff, and he, therefore, overruled all the others. To that
disallowance exception had been taken, and those ex-
ceptions were now brought before the Court.
Mr. Kenyon Parker and Mr. Winstanley appeared for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Temple for the defendant.
By the answer it was denied that any partnership
had ever existed, the case set up being that the defendant
had employed his son during his lifetime in the capacity
of his servant.
His HONOUR allowed the exceptions.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 4.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
TEL ROMFORe BANK—IN Re JOHNSON, JOHNSON, AND
MANN.
This being the day appointed for the adjourned ex-
amination of the bankrupt, the ex-Alderman Thomas
Johnson, the various interested parties were in Court,
when,
Mr. LANonsat, solicitor for the bankrupt, made an
application for a further adjournment. He said that
owing to the age and infirmities of Mr. Johnson, the ac-
counts were not yet in that satisfactory state that he
should wish them to be in, when presented to that Court.
Mr. Johnson had been most unremitting in his exer-
tions, and was keenly alive to the importance of ex-
hibiting the state of his affairs in the most
plain and satisfactory manner. He particularly
wished to do away with the impression endea-
voured to be prodnced on the last examination, that he
had made away with (for his own purposes) bills to the
value of 13,3831., and cash to an amount of 12,7351. He
(Mr. Langham) was happy to assure his Honour that
every shilling of those sums could be accounted for in
the most lucid manner. He was instructed that these
accounts could bear the strictest investigation. The
bills already alluded to were in number about one hun-
dred and forty, and the question had, on the last exami-
nation, been put to Mr. Johnson, " What did you do
with these ?" It was impossible that he could distinctly
and at once answer for every transaction, and standing
over a period of thirteen years, but he would on the next
adjourned day be able to give dates and particulars for
each of these.
Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN thought that Mr. John-
son's son, his partner, might have assisted in making out
and arranging these accounts.
Mr. LLNOHAM said, that unfortunately Mr. Johnson's
son was of weak intellect, and, therefore, quite incompe-
tent to assist in the matter. In fact, he was under the
care of a gentleman at that time.
His HONOUR remarked that the creditors of the bank
were rather unfortunately placed. Mr. Johnson himself
being so unfitted by age and infirmity; his son, as they
were then told, by mental weakness, and the other
partner, Mr. Mann, from ignorance, to explain the proper
state of affairs.
Mr. LANGHAM said Mr. Mann was culpably negligent.
His HoNotra requested that Mr. Lanham, standing as
solicitor for Mr. Thomas Johnson, would refrain from
any observations against Mr. Mann. What time did Mr.
Langham require in order to produce the accounts ?
Mr. LarionAm thought that in two months the ac-
countant would be prepared, and the official assignee
would probably require a month more to examine those.
After some further conversation, the matter was
further adjourned till the 3d of February.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 4.
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court heard motions in the early part of the
day, and afterwards proceeded to hear arguments in
cases on the new trial paper. No case of public interest
came on in the course of the morning.

BAIL COURT, Nov. 4.
(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON. )

TELE QUEEN V. ALDRED-APPLICATION FOR ♦ CRIMINAL

INFORMATION.

Mr. MARTIN applied in this case on behalf of Mr.
Marsh, the Mayor of Yarmouth, for a rule for a criminal
information against the defendant. Mr. Marsh stated
in his affidavit that he was Mayor of Yarmouth, and a
magistrate of the borough, and that on the 10th of Juue
last he attended at his office for the purpose of trans-
acting magisterial business, upon which occasion a
person was charged with ringing the hell of Mr. Aldred
during Divine service, and a constable produced a paper
without any direction or signature relative to the offence
with which the person was charged. The Mayor and
the Magistrate who was with him were of opinion that
they could not receive such a paper, and that Mr.
Aldred ought to attend himself. The paper was re-
turned to the constable with injunctions to tell Mr.
Aldred that he must attend himself if he wished to take
proceedings against the party. This took place on the
10th of June. On the 12th of June, Mr. Marsh was
going along King-street, when the defendant came up
to bim, seized him by the arm, and making
use of some very offensive expressions, demanded an
explanation for the impertinent manner in which the
Mayor had treated his letters. The Mayor replied that he
was the chief magistrate of the town, that his hands
were therefore tied up, and that he could not enter into any
explanation then. Mr. Aldred then reiterated the ex-
pressions, and followed Mr. Marsh up the street, still
repeating them all the time. Mr. Marsh after this sent
two persons to Mr. Aldred, requesting him to consider
what he had done, and whether he would not attend to
make some apology for his conduct. Mr. Aldred did
attend, but instead of making an apology, he repeated
the observations again in a manner moat offensive to the
mayor. After the first offence, the mayor thought to
take proceedings against the defendant for sureties to
keep the peace, but considered that the repetition of
such conduct in open court was such an aggravation of
the original offence, that he felt it due to his office and
to himself to take other proceedings. One of the
magistrates insisted on taking sureties, which he did
two or three days afterwards. But he (Mr. Martin)
a

Mr. Justice PATTESON—You do not put this as being
a provocation to a breach of the peace ?
Mr. MARTIN—It was an actual breach of the peace,
for an assault was committed.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—That was in the first instance.
There was nothing but words in the second instance,
but the magistrate was acting at the time in his magis-
terial capacity.
Mr. MARTIN—It was so ; and they thought it also
right to have an affidavit from the police-constable, who
stated in his affidavit that he merely delivered the paper
without any offensive expressions whatever, and the
answer he received was, ' I)—n the mayor and the
magistrates ; what do I care for them?"—Rule nisi
granted
The Court afterwards heard causes at Nisi Prius.

MIDDLESEX SESwIONS

(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a full Bench of

Magistrates.)
The October Quarter sessions for the County of Mid-
dlesex commenced yesterday, at the Court-house, Clerken-
well-green, for the purpose of disposing of parish appeals,
and appeals against 'convictions pronounced by several of
the metropolitan police magistrates, and to hear a few
cases of felony which stood over, by adjournment, to this
day. The number of appeals on the list amounted to 98.
JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—John Harrison, a young
urchin, about eleven years of age, whose head was
scarcely visible above the railing of the dock, was in-
dicted for and found guilty of having stolen a quantity
of wearing apparel, under circumstances of remarkable
daring and cunning, considering his extreme youth.
It appeared that articles named were exposed for sale
outside the shop of the prosecutor, and the prisoner was
observed lurking about the place for a long time. At
length, availing himself of an opportunity when he
thought he was unperceived, he cut the cords by which
the clothes were tied, and ran off with two coats and a
waistcoat, but was eventually Stopped at the corner of
Gray's Inn-lane.
In reply to the Learned Assistant-Judge,
Lieutenant Tracy, the Governor of the Westminster
Bridewell, stated that the prisoner was a most incor-
rigible young rogue ; although so young, he had been
convicted of felony, under very aggravated circum-
stances, three times, and twice or thrice summarily con-
victed by the magistrates.
The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, such being the
case, the only course open to the Court was to send the
prisoner out of the country. The sentence, therefore,
upon him was, that he be transported for seven years.
Three men, named Hughes, Welford, and James, were
found guilty of stealing a large quantity of boots and
shoes, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with
hard labour, in the Westminster Bridewell.

From the confused statement of the complainant
the following particulars were collected :—William
Daniell, a man about thirty years of age, was, together
with his wife, without the.means of support, in Ely,
where Harley, who could not endure the sight of a
man starving for want of work, gave him lodging and

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 4.
BLACKBURN v. PUGIL—LIBEL.
This was an action for libel, under these circum-
stances:—The plaintiff carried on business as currier
and leather-seller, in Union-street, in the Borough. The
defendant having sold the plaintiff a quantity of goods
on the usual terms of the trade—that is, two months'
credit, and found on the day before the expiration of
that term that there was a sale on the plaintiff's pre-
' raises, wrote to the auctioneers, Messrs. Southey, cau-
tionimr them not to remove the goods after the sale, on
the ground that the plaintiff was a bankrupt, and that
his property was sold to elude his creditors. Subse-
\thquently,' however,
e defendants, on being paid their
account, withdrew their letter. But the plaintiff was not
satisfied with that amend for the injurious statement,

prevailed upon her to abandon and tab her

of a scene or unutterable wretchedness. While
Harley was at a public-hottst to which his
wife had sent him, she and her paramour cantrived to
remove all that was of any value in the house, and ac-
tually left the poor children, one of whom was only a
twelvemonth old, and had been weaned no more than
a month, with nothing but the bare boards to lie upon.
Distracted at such an event, and being totally desti-
tute, he represented the facts to some neighbours, who
cordially advanced what they could afford to enable
him to follow and trace the fugitives and his pro-
perty. He soon learned that the three boxes contain-
ing his goods were at the Bull In; Bishopsgate, and
that they were directed to the very rascal who had so
fatally plundered him. Under these circumstances he
applied for the boxes of his property which he saw
upon going to the inn, but the landlord refused to
give them up, having received a letter from Daniel
threatening to proceed against him if he dared to de-
liver them to any one but himself.

Honour; and she was particularly good and kind
while she must have been planning to leave me and
her children. I never in my life was jealous of her
for one mo*ent.
Sir PETER LAURIE—She was an attentive wife and
mother until she met with the scoundrel you were so
charitable to ? Harley—He was a scoundrel, your
Honour (striking the table with his hard hand). I
gave him bed and board when he had not a morsel of
victuals, though he was a stranger to me. She left
word with the neighbours when she was going to
leave her home to tell me that she was gone off in
haste to a dying brother, and she took with her all
my wages that I had given her, except the sixpence
she gave me to get me out of the way. She has left
me in debt, too ; for the money I gave her to pay for
her clothes she never paid to the tradespeople.

TREMENDOUS SToRM.

PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OP BIRKENHEAD

MARKET.
BIRKENHEAD, CHESHIRE, SATURDAY.—During the
whole of yesterday the weather was extremely
boisterous here ; but as evening closed in the wind
blew with great violence, and eventually became a
complete hurricane, sweeping along the Cheshire
shores with the utmost fury, to the great alarm of the
inhabitants of the several towns and villages which
were exposed in succession to this fearful visitation—
namely, Runcorn, Eastham, Birkenhead, Seacombe,
Egremont, New Brighton, Liscard, &c. ; but, with
the exception of Birkenhead, so recently the scene of
high festival, on the occasion of laying the foundation-
stone of the new dock—with the exception of that
raitidly-improving place, little, damage was sus-
tained beyond the blowing in of a few windows, and
the effects of no slightly-grounded apprehension.
At about eleven o'clock this morning, the storm
then being at its greatest height in and around
Birkenhead, a large portion of the wall of a new
market, now in course of erection in that town, gave
way before the fury of the blast to which it was
opposed, and fell inwards with a crash so terrible,
that the shock startled many persons who were up-
wards of two miles from the spot at the time. It
fortunately happened that most of the workmen
were occupied in the central avenue at this juncture ;
the vast descending mass, however, reached two of
them, who %sere severely injured ; and another man,
who had just mounted what is termed the second
story of a scaffolding, was hurled amongst the frag-
ments of the shattered structure, and literally buried
beneath them. He was subsequent:,' rese.'"' with
great difficulty, but was quite insensible, d for some
time his case was considered hopeless.
„:::
The Ai. cre rers
were promptly conveyed to the Dispensary. wles:!
every attention was paid to them by Mr. Stevenson,
surgeon, and the house surgeon, Mr. Evans ; when
it was found -that one of those first alluded to,
named James 'Ellis, aged 32, had received a com-
pound fracture of the leg, and was otherwise much
injured ; that the o-her. named Samuel Hughes,
aged 22, was dreadfully contused on the head, loins,
and other parts of the body. The unfortunate man
who was thrown from the scaffold, named John Can-
non, and aged 27, was also bruised in a shocking
manner, hut it was really wonderful that he escaped
with life, considering the awful situation in which he
was placed, with a weight of brickwork to sustain
which seemed more than sufficient to crush the
strongest mortal frame to atoms. The astounding
nature of this fact will be gathered from a brief de-
scription of the edifice. All who have visited Liver-
pool must have seen St. John's market ; the erection
mutilated by the accident just recorded is on the same
plan, and nearly as extensive. It forms an oblong
square, 430 feet long by 130 feet in breadth ; the outer
walls, however, were only nine inches, or the length
of one brick thick; and though this was strengthened
by pilasters at intervals of 13 feet 10 inches on every
side, yet, considering the height of the wall, which. is
nearly 30 feet, such thickness, even with the aid of
the bolstering afforded by the pilasters, 20 inches, is
pronounced by competent judges to be utterly inade-
quate fOr that assurance of safety which the public
have a right to demand, and which the lamentable
frequency of fatal accidents of the kind renders it so
necessary to exact. About 80 feet in length of this
wall fell,--.and a large portion of it covered the un-
happy victim to whom reference has last been made.
The fracture, however, extends to nearly the whole
length of the wall, on either side of the formidable
breach ; it will, therefore, most likely be found neces-
sary to rebuild the whole. Messrs. TOrs and Ren-
ders, it is said, are the parties with whom the contract
for the erection of the edifice was made.

" Dear Sir —I have seen William Swan and the

Sir PETER LAURIB+I wish Mr. Daniell was here
before me ; his next appearance should certainly be at
the Old Bailey. Such a compound of assurance and
villainy is but seldom to'be seen, and I am happy, my
poor man, that you have come here for assistance.
The porter at the Bull Inn said that his master
would readily give up the boxes upon receiving Sir
Peter Laurie's order tle. that effect, as security against
any measures Mr. Dat4ll might adopt, by the advice
of some ugly professional.
Sir PETER LAURIIi,."I shall give the order, cer-
tainly, to satisfy your master, but no danger of the
kind is to be apprehended from villains .f this de-
scription. He will never call for the boxes. You
will not see him again ; but I hope that he will be
brought to justice.
Orders were thenliven that the expenses of the
disconsolate man and of the carriage of his property
back to the place of his employment should be de-
frayed from the poor-box, and he left the justice-
room much affected by the commiseration so unequi-
vocally expressed.
The steward of the Ocean steam-vessel, of Rotter-
dam, was charged with being in possession of a great
quantity of smuggled tobacco.
C. Atkinson Davis, a Custom-house officer, who is
frequently engaged in apprehending smugglers, stated
that having been informed that a large number of
packages of tobacco were secreted on board the Ocean,
he went to examine that vessel, and he found, secreted
in a new, and most ingenious manner, a considerable
quantity of the article. The packages were all pre-
pared so thoroughly in lead, that the water could not
effect the tobacco, and they were suspended by strings
between the timbers in such a manner as to afford an
almost complete security from detection.
The case, which has excited much curiosity in
consequence of the ingenuity and extent of the plan,
was appointed to be entered into in detail on a
future day.
A complaint was made by two respectable inhabi-
tants of the City of the success of the labours of a
swindling firm, in which several victimizers are con-
cerned. We omit the details, as in all probability
some of the Company will be brought up, an active
officer of the City police force having received in-
structions upon the subject from Sir Peter Laurie.

Some of the Liverpool papers published second
editions this evening, giving a most exaggerated ac-
count Hof the 'above affair, together with a statement of
the number killed ; as these, however, are only news-
paper deaths, the Coroner will, happily, not be troubled
to " sit" on the bodies.
During the violence of the storm, it was not with-
out great difficulty that even strong men could with-
stand its force.

ROMANTIC and AFFECTING TALE

ingT,hteheCotnsruttituth

hfTuesday
acontains tThheefolflaocwts,
divested of the embellishments of the narrator, are
as follow :—ln the early part of the Moilth a work-
man and his wife, returning to their lodgings -at
about ten o'clock at night, found a young female lying
insensible- in the street, and having a baby in her arms.
Like good Samaritans they raised her up, and, after
obtaining some refreshments for her, had the satisfac
tion of seeing_ her fully restored to life and conscious-
ness, but, on addressing her, discovered that she was
a foreigner, and unable to understand what they said.
They took her home, and treated her with great kind-
ness, and then set about the means of ascertaining
who she was, and what had brought her to the
state in which she was found. In a day or two,
amongst the friends of this kind couple, who, being
acquainted with foreign languages, visited their lodg-
ing in the hope of being Aly to converse with her,
came an old soldier who had been long in Spain, and
spoke Spanish well. On addressing the female in
that language, her eyes lighted up, and she told him
that she was a naive of Valencia---Aliai .abbitt two
years ago -(she is now only. twenty, and very beau-
tiful), she listened to the seductions of a. young
foreigner, and; loving him, had at length committed
a fault which compelled her to quit her father's
house, and fly with him. to Madrid to conceal her
sharhe. - At Madrid she remained with her lover
several months, who • one 'day told her he was
• compelled to go to England on urgent business, but
would be in Paris on the Ist of the present xionth,
and, presenting to her a purse well filled with gold,
gave her the address of the hotel: at which he was to,
be found, and requested her to meet him there. She
startedlor:Paris,liut before she had arrived had"spent
most-- of her money; owing to her'ineiperience in
travelling and a delay on account of the illness of her
child. This, however,was not her greatest misfortune ;
she had lost the address iof the . hotel, and had
no clue by which to find- her lover. As long as her
money_ lasted she remained at a small hotel, devoured
with grief, and when her pecuniary means were ex-
hauited, was driven into the street, where she had
fallen from weakness, - the result of hunger.
It was in this state that- she was fhund.
Ile worthy couple, after haVing. heard her
sad narrative, tookher to the Spanish -Einbassy,
where she was interrogated by M. d'Aguileira, the
Charge d'Affaires, and in' a few .days, her account
being confirmed by letters from Valencia, in reply to
inquiries M. d'Aguileira had made, he presented her
with a sufficient sum for her journey home, and
the Chevalier Roubio, the Spanish Vice-Consul,
accompanied her to the diligence, in which were two
Spanish ladies, on their return to Spain, and who, on
hearing a few words from M. Roubio of the history,
kindly undertook to attend to her on the way.
Every inquiry had previously been made to discover
her seducer, but in vain. The poor girl, although
anxious to receive her father's forgiveness and bless-
ing, could hardly be, induced to leave Paris, until it
was suggested to her that her lover was dead. She
would not allow the idea of herhavingheen abandoned
by him to enter her mind. -

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETT.—This society re-
commences proceedings on Wednesday night,- with the
Israel in Egypt of Handel. The whole of last season
glided away without one performance of this immortal
work. The amends honorable is now made in selecting
it for the opening of the present campaign. Are we to
have it in the form which Handel gave it—or is its sub-
lime continuity to be broken by the introduction of
irrelevant songs and duets ? Let us hope for the best.
Let us confide in the FraduAl but easily discernible' im-
provement of the public taste, which is daily more fasti-
dious and severe. Restorations of Shakspeare to his
primitive form have lately b-eome popular, both on the
stage and in the library. Colley Libber and the com-
mentators have for ever lost their repute. Shakspeare,
it has been discover. d, was a better man than any of
them, and wanted neither their improvements nor their
explanations. Why may we not hope for a similar res-

STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. I.—The
sales of combing and clothing wools this week have
been limited to the immediate requirements of the
manufacturers. Purchases have been made by them
with caution. We do not quote any alteration from
last week's prices.
FOREIGN IVOOL TRADE, Nov. I.—A co mpara-
tively limited business has been dune in foreign
wools this week, but, since it is so generally known
that the continental markets are almost cleared out of
wool, and that the importations into this country
must necessarily be very scanty until next clip, no
disposition whatever exists amongst the dealers to
give way in prices, but rather on the contrary to hold
their stocks with the prospect of realising an advance.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. I.—We have
no new feature to report in this week's market, which
upon •the whole has been a very quiet one ; the few
sales that have been made are upon the terms of last
week.
LEEDS.—The demand for fine and middle qualities
of cloths has been very dull at our cloth-halls this
week, but in heavy winter goods there has been a
little improvement over the markets of the last few
weeks. Prices continue pretty steady. and the stocks,
although on the increase, are lower than usual at
this season. In finished goods there has been but
little doing. Few of the larger buyers have been at
the market' during the week, and the foreign houses
are doing less business than for some months past ; on
the whole, there has been much below an average
business done in the warehouses during the week.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY —There is not
the slightest improvement in the demand for Wool
since our last, and what has changed hands during the
past week is only in very small quantities, and
at about last week's prices. The disposi-
tion to still further decrease the production
is progressing, for the spinners complain of the
great disproportion in the price of yarns with the
raw material, and unless the latter recedes to meet
the spinners, it appears almost certain that the upera-
tives are likely to he only very partially employed,
ich is much to be regretted. If any thing a little
more „; siness has been done in pieces to-day,-but the
pricesa. a discouraging, and will in no way teed

going on.

MARKET -NEWS.—(YESTERDAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE
The returns for the past week, show moderate ar-
rivals of English Wheat, with a great increase in the
receipts of all kinds of Berle), from our own coasts, as
well as from abroad. Of Other kinds of Grain, the re-
ceipts were only moderate. Fresh up to our market,
the supplies of Wheat, coastwise dud by land-carriage,
were by no means large, yet we had a fair quantity on
offer. The attendance of buyers being rather numerous,
the sale for that article was very steady, at prices fully
equal to those obtained on Monday last, and at which
a good clearance was effected. The general quality of
the Wheat was good. Of Foreign Wheat, free
of duty, the show was not large. The best
descriptions commanded a ready inquiry, at very full
prices. In other kinds comparatiVely little was doing.
All kinds of Corn, under lock, were a mere drug, but
not cheaper. The supply of Barley was large, particu-
larly of Foreign, which, being of superior quality, is
now attracting the attention of the maltsters. All kinds,
from the extensive quantities brought forward, were
heavy, at a decline of is to 2s per quarter, from the cur- i
. rencies obtained on Monday last. The best Chevalier
Malt maintained its value ; but other kinds were very
dull. The supply of Oats was only moderate, while the
trade was.steady, at full prices. In Beans—the business
doing in which was not large—we have no alteration to
notice. Grey- Peas were Is per quarter higher. In
other kinds, as welras Flour, no variation was noticed.

SMITHFIELD.
The great importance so generally attached tt the
importation of live stock fr,np abroad. for -our markets;.
induces us, On the present occasion, and, more especially
as the "season" will be brought to ciose.within a ua'uut.h
or six weeks frohi this date, for this year. to play` before
our readers the following review of such imports froth
the period of the new tariff coming into operation to the
present tune. It will, .no doubt, be recolketed that, on
the passing of the above .measure, notwithstanding the.
n-umerols opinions offered to the contrary, we intimated
that (though some time must., of necessity elapse) ulti-
mately the arrivals of foreign Beasts. and Sheep into this
country WO-old be greater than many persons were led to
ircagine, Recent -events are tending to confirm the cor-
rectness of our views,- not only, as respects the actual
numbers imported,- but also their quality and. yak,.
In order to show'the increasing importance td this trade
ire s},all here direct particular attention to the figurf,s
given below, as they form (derived as they are from
official sources) a feature of considerable interest' In
1842, the first year of the tariff conuil.g into operation,
the annexed imports took place in the various ports of
England, up to the end-of November :
Head
• Oxen and Bulls 630
Cows
Calves 6O
- Sheep 330 • •
. . Lambs
• Swine and Hogs

Total in 1842 1,570 head,

Of the above, about 300 Beasts and 200 Sheep came to
hand from Spain, the reinainder of the stock from Ger-
many, Holland, France and Zetland. . Amongst those
from Vigo were some very useful animals, but those from
other quarters came hither in, mostly, a half-fat state.
The returns for the corresponding period, in 1843, shows
an increase, though not to any material extent, in the
imports, Compared with those of the preceding year,
they having been as under : Head.

servations, the; a great improvement has taken place in
the quality of the Beasts lately imported. This was,
never more marked than in the supplies brought forwardt
here on Friday last, for out of the 135 head in the mar-
ket on that day, at least fifty of them were in what may
be considered good condition; indeed, we saw several that
weighed 160 stones I.Blbs to the stone) each. The Sheep
were better than we have hitherto noticed them ; but
there were none calling for particular observation.
Strange as it may appear, not a single instance has co-
-1 curred—even though such experiments, both in pasture
and stall, have been numerous--in which it has bee*
found possible to fatten foreign 13asts in this count
dry
with advantage. Notwithstanding all the care en at"'
tention shown, they—arising, no doubt, i?Pm change of
l'o,,d—have gradually decreased in weigh t and very
often been attacked by the epidemic. On irfquiribeing
personal inspection, we find that the Beasts, and
on
slaughtered, die —to use a technical expressiOri. ex-
tremely well ; much better, in fact, than their touch
and appearance would lead ns to expect ; consequent:ay
they have become more in favour amongst the butcher*
than they were some months since. The supplies of
foreign stock here this morniog consisted of 40 Beasts
an 60 Sheep—all from Rotterelam—and of fair saleable
qualit,;,;,while since this day se'onight the importation;
for Lentipn and the various outpet:ts have amounted to

From the whole of those of our grazing dista.tst
whence the principal portions of our Bullock supper
are usually derived at this period of the year, the Sr
rivals of Beasts, fresh up to this morning's marketp
were again extensive ; but we scarcely ever recollect to'
have witnessed such a miserable deficiency of quality al
was observed to-day; in fact, nearly 3,000 of the above
description of stock were in only a half-fat condition.
Although the attendance of bt:.yers was rather
numerous, the Beef trade, genera.lly speaking, was
in a very sluggish state ; yet the prunest Scots.
Devons, Runts, and Herefords, were mostly disposed
of at last week's quotations, but the yak' of all other
breeds suffered an abatement of quite 22dikner Sibs, and
considerable difficulty was experienced in e.lectinq 6
clearance of such, even at that amount ofde).

and
The droves from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
Northamptonshire, comprised about 2,600 short bu.rnsP
while from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshie*
we received 400 Scots, Home-breds, &c. , from the
western and midland counties 400 erefords, Runts'',
Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England 300 of various,
tweeds ; from Scotland, 200 horned and polled Scots ;
and from Ireland, 40 Beasts, via Liverpool. The numbers
of Sheep were moderately good, but not to say large. On
the whole the Mutton trade was steady at prices about equal
to those obtained on this day se'nnight, and at which
most of the supply found buyers. Although the supply
of Calves was limited, the Veal trade ruled extremely
inactive, and Friday's depression of from 2d to 4d per
8 ibs was barely supported. Fine small Porkers were
quite as dear ; but other kinds of Pigs were almost Irr
1 urinal in value.

One of the principal causes which preyented any larger
increase in the arrivals in 1843, over those of 1842, ap-
pears to have been the rapid falling off in those from
Spain, arising from the great losses sustained by the im
porters from that country, even though a larger portion of
the Beasts were purchased in the neighbourhood of Vigo,
as low as from 61 to 7L per head. The freight of these
Beasts, or, exclusive of the duty, landing, &c., about
51 lOs per head, was decidedly against speculation; hence
very few persons are found willing to purchase either
Beasts or Sheep in Spain for our markets; consequently
we are not expecting any extensive supplies of stock in
future from any of the Spanish ports. The efforts, how-
ever, which have been made by the German and Dutch
graziers, the results of which are now developing them-
selves, to improve their stock by larger imports of slime
of our best breeds of Beasts, Sheep, and Pigs, lead us to ---------' gr.
