ing Sheriffs ; and thus terminated the business of the day.

FRACAS AT THE BAR.—A scene of the most
extraordinary nature was yesterday exhibited in
the Court of Exchequer, and almost in the very •
presence of the Learned Barons on the Bench.
Two Gentlemen, dignified by silk- gowns, had a
dispute in question under 'discussion, as to an al-.
leged fact; A contradiction in rathell positive
terms was given, and no retraction made. The
subject before the Court being decided, the Gen-
tlemen; in high wrath, left the table, but'had not
got beyond the screen which interposes between
the great area of the Court and that part in which
bu'iness is transacted, when.words of the most
offensive nature were exchang,ed. An apology
was demanded, and refused. This was followed
by the use of epithets and threats' not to be en-
dured in the ordinary walks of respectable so-
ciety, and hints thrown out of ultimate satisfac-
tion. A crowd collected to witness •so .unusual
an exhibition, and at length the Court, being in- •
terrupted by the high sounding tones of the.par-
ties, broke up. The two Gentlemen were do n
summoned before one of the Learned Barons, who
tendered his good offices to allay the dispute ; -
and his Lordship was, we understand, tinaiiy
obliged to take the precaution to prevent a More
hostile conclusion of the affair. Dere the 'tnatt, r
rests for the 'present ; but it has excited no small.
astonishment among the general body of the
members of the long robe.
• CORONATION SEATS.—An information has been
aid against. a Gent lemanin George.e treet, West-
minster, for erecting certain seats at tl!e front of
his house. The information is laid 'tinier Mr.
M. A. TAYLOR'S Act, called the Street .Act, and
it charges the,Defendant with " erecting or caus-
ing to be erected certain wood buildings, which
project from the front of hiS house a greater dis-
tance than the Act of Parliament allows." The
case was heard at Queen-square Office ; but•
consequence of an informality in the information,
the Magistrates came to no decision. The party
complained of, is Mr. GLANviLLE, an architect ;
and the complainant, Mr. SEWARD, who stated
that he belonged to the Office of the District
Surveyor, had laid the information in complitince
with numerous applications from the neighbour-
hood.

An awful instance of sudden death occureeiti
on Saturday, at Ealing fair ; a decent looking
countryman, about 40 years of age, ascending. 3
show booth, staggered and fell, and instantly e"
pired. There were no papers found on his per-
son to lead to a discovery of who he was. The
body was carried to the Feathers public-house,
on the Uxbridge road, to be owned, and for the
inspection of a Coroner's Jury.

CouN-ExcTrANGE, Ju LT 4.—Although the
supply of Wheat this week has been far froin large,' and the
weather continues unfavourable fin the growing crops, yet the
demand is very trifling, and only the finest samples find buyers,
for which description Monday's prices were obtained this mor”-
ing ; but the inferior qualities were unsaleable, and prices no-
minal. Barley is Is. per quarter cheaper, having a pretty goad
supply from Suffhlk, and but little demand 'for it. Fine Oats
fully support Mondays's prices. In Beans, Peas, and other to-
ticks, there is no alteration.

The persons who have been so long in the habit of erecting
booths, stalls, &c. in the Market Place, for the purpose ",
vending, or exposing for sale, Linen, Woollen Goods, Boots/
Shoes, Ilaidware, and other Merchandise, to the great injury
of the resident tradesmen inhabiting houses at considerable
rents, and subject to heavy rates for lighting, paving, cleansing,
and watching the town, received legal Notice, on Thursday
last, to discontinue the practice, else Actions at Law will be
commenced against them. This timely interference of the Earl
of Lonsdale, to abolish an illegal custom. by which the market
was rendered very incommodious, has had the desired effect
no booth, &c. having since been erected there. It seems that
certain persons had actually granted leave for the erection v_
tents, in the Market Place, for which they received considerap.
sums of money.— (Whitebaven Gazette.)
