MISCELLANEOUS.

The six columns in the round tower of the Temple
Church have been divested of the Roman cement, which
has long covered and concealed their mouldings and
carved capitals. The stone mullions of the windows,
and in every part of the Church,-are found to be of
fine. Purbeck marble.

The wife of General Vandersmissen, whose courage
and presence of mind has just enabled him to escape
to Prussia, is the daughter of the late Admiral Graves.
Abu-bekr, the servant of the late lamented Mr.
Davidson, is still alive at Mogadore, and strongly
attached to Mahommedanism. It is expected some
entertaining particulars-of the interior of the country
may be obtained from him.
A triangular survey is now in progress. in Greece,
under the direction of French officers. A new road
has recently been finished from 'Athens to Thebes, a
distance of 30 miles. Others are now in progress to
connect this town with Corinth, Eleusis, and Megara.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIIREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
rather more animated. Sales, 6,000 bales, of which
1,200 were Maranhain. Prices were steady.—Rail-
way Shares were not so good Bristol and Exeter
brought 45 ; Great Western Half, 61 ; Liverpool and
Manchester, Quarter,- 43f ; North Midland, 60; and
Paris and Rouen, 224.
The Britannia, from Boston and Halifax, brings
advices to the 3d inst. .13'rom Canada the accounts
reach to the 29th ult. The letters and papers re-
ceived in the City, in referring to commercial matters,
do not notice generally any particular change or ha-
provement. A moderate business was doing in many
articles of absolute necessity, but not an
extensive one, and it is given as a satisfactory indi-
cation of a disposition on the part of the people to re-
turn to more steady and honest courses, after so
much bank swindling and prosperity inflation, that
articles of luxury had a very indifferent sale.
Money was plentiful, and it was difficult to
find safe and at the same time profitable
employment for it. At Philadelphia and New Orleans
business was dull, and Flour and Wheat, owing
to the abundant crops, were declining all over
the Union. Complaints were made of the want of
promptitude exhibited by the dealers in the West in
making remittances, and which appears to arise from
the scarcity of money in that direction (more likely
the want of credit and confidence, we should say),
and the low prices of produce.
We are glad to find that the • Americans have re-
ceived full instructions from -their English corre-
spondents for the proper curing and packing of their
salted meats, so as to adapt them to the tastes of con-
sumers in this country ; and if Brother Jonathan will
but favour us with a little of his Cincinnati pork and
New Orleans cotton, in part payment of the heavy
sums he owes us, he will rise considerably in the
estimation of honest men.

The accounts from Canada furnish a copy of the
Act passed for the regulation of the lumber trade,
and which appeared to be considered prejudicial.
The further stoppage of one or two establishments in
Montreal, but not for large amounts, and being houses
expected to go for score time past, is announced
in the letters received to-day. A comparative state-
ment of arrivals, tonnage and passengers at Quebec
to the 28th Oct. of the present year as compared with
1841, exhibits the immense falling off this year of 389
vessels and 117,863 tons, although the passengers
show an increase of 16,109 persons, or to 44,388.
The weather was -fine, and the fall ploughing was
carried on with vigour. Mr. Wakefield was can-
vassisg for the representation of Beauharnais.
The latest sales of flour at Montreal were at 245.
cash, for America, being a shade higher. Mess Pork
was rather heavier of sale.

In the English funds'a fair amount of business has
been transacted: Consols have been supported at 94
to 94/ for Money, and 94/ for the 4th instant,
being so far something like a baccadation: Exchequer
Bills are lower, having been marked SU to,, 58 pre-
mium. Bank Stock. is offered at 169. and. 170,, and
the heavy investments keep at their previous rates.
Foreign Securities are neglected, except SPa...
nish, which have attracted the attention of
some of the speculators, and have been got up
to 184 for the Five per Cents., and to • 221
and 224 for the Three per Cents. In South Ameri-
can Stocks the transactions are few. Mexican are
dull at 33 to /, and Colombian at 21-I.' Dutch Five
per Cents. are 100 k to 101.
There is no improvement in Railway Shares, which
here, as at Liverpool, are not in demand. Bir-
mingham and Derby are 60 • Eastern Coun-
ties, 14i ; Edinburgh and Glasgow 21 ; and
South Eastern, 274 discount. Newcastle and

AMERICAN NEWS.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.
ARRIVAL OF THE ' BRITANNIA.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt,
reached the Mersey to-day, soon after twelve
o'clock, after an extremely boisterous passage,
during the last few days of which she encoun-
tered a constant succession of heavy gales. She
left Boston on the Ist, and Halifax on the 3d inst.

The principal news in the papers relates to
Texas and Mexico. Both countries arc pre-
paring to strike a decisive blow. Five thousand
Mexican troops had left Matamoras for Texas,
while the citizens of the latter country were up
in arms and rushing to the frontlet to meet their
assailants. In the neighbourhood of San An-
tonio, where a short time previously the Mexi-
cans had entered in triumph, a battle had
taken place, and although they out-numbered
their opponents by three to one, the Mexicans
retired ("scampered" is the term used) to a con-
siderable distance, leaving upwards of one hun-
dred dead on the field, and about twice that
number wounded. Anxious to put a stop to this
conflict, and bring about, if possible, a reconci-
liation between the belligerents, Mr. Webster,
the American Minister for Foreign Affairs, had
addressed a communication to the representative
of his Government at Mexico, offering the ser-
vices of the United States as a friendly Power,
and stating it to be the opinion of President
Tyler that the war, as it relates to Mexico, was
" useless and hopeless."

In the United States elections for members- of
the StateS Legislatures had taken place for about
two-thirds of the number composing the Union.
The result, as far as it had gone, was generally
fitvourable to the Loco-fbco or Democratic
,party—strengthening the power of rthe existing
Federal Executive,. which, althoUgh elected by
the opposite party, has exhibited, since the
.death of General Harrison, 'political tendencies
inimical to thOse professed by that functionary.
The picking of the cotton, crop was proceeding
favourably.. From Yazoo, on the Mississippi,
1,000,000 bales will, it is said, be shipped this
year, being au increase on the crop of last year,
which was deemed above an average crop.

Great quantities of counterfeit coin are stated
to be in circulation throughout the United States.
One of the papers say, " As to cents, they are
manufactured and sold by- the keg,- just like
nails. The privately manufactured cents are
worth just as much as those made by the Go-
vernment, but in silver coin the free trade plan
gets in too much copper.
A seizure had been made by the Custom-
house officers at Boston, the nature of which
ought to be made known in this country. A
quantity of goods from Paris was shipped in the
Royal Mail steamer, which touched at that port,
and seized on the ground that an English vessel
could not legally bring any goods except those
manufactured in Great Britain.
A sad " cut" to American credit was recently
given at Havannah. Good private bills, at sixty
days' sight, were negotiated at a premium of two
per cent., while the bills of the Federal Govern-
ment, at thirty days sight, could :only be nego-
tiated at three per cent. discount.
The rate of exchange is very low, 106 to 1061.
The market dull, and little doing in any of the
local stocks. On France the rates were sf. 45e.
to 5E 421 c.
The following are the latest accounts from
Canada, extracted from the New York papers :
There is still a very stubborn and violent discus-
sion going on in Canada, about the removal of the
seat of government. The people of Toronto and
Montreal want their toNtps to have the privilege;
whilst the people of Quebec clamour louder than all
the rest to have the seat of government located there.

With regard to Sir Charles Bagot's administration,
and popularity, or want of it, we shall hear more at
the next session of. the Canadian Parliament. Some
of the papers state that their confidence in his policy
is so great that they feel sure, if a vote of a want of
confidence should be attempted, it would be negatived
immediately by a large majority. On the other band
several of the papers condemn his policy most vehe-
mently ; and particidarly his calling Lafontaine,
Baldwin, and others, to take seats in the Executive
Council. _ _

• The arrangements of Sir Charles Ballot for form=
ing a new Ministry have been fully completed, and
the following is the result :—R. B. Sullivan, Presi-
dent of the Council ; S. B. Harrison, Secretary C. W. ;
J. E. Small, Solicitor-General, C. W.; D. Daly, Se-
cretary, C. E.; L. H. Lafontaine, Attorney-General,
C. E.; T. C. Aylwin, Solicitor-General, C. E.; J. 11.
Dunn, Receiver-General ; F. Hincks, Inspector-Ge-
neral; H. H. Killally, President of Board of Works;
A. N. Morin, Commissioner of Crown Lands.

These eleven are all men of ability, and very liberal
in their politics. In the House of Assembly, com-
posed of 84 Members, it is asserted, upon pretty good
authority, that there are only 13 -decidedly opposed
to the Ministry, and 11 of them doubtful ; thus leav-
ing them 60 firm supporters. Mr: Duncombe and
Mr. Parent will retire from Parliament, but their
places will doubtless be supplied by Mr. E. G. Wake-
field and Mr. A. N. Morin, of the smile politics.
The British frigate 'Pique had sailed from Que-
bec with two companies of the Coldstream and
two of the Grenadier Guards on board. The 7th
Hussars had arrived at Quebec, and were to be
sent home immediately.

The public works in Canada are already affecting
the Erie Canal, if we may judge by the following from
the Rochester Democrat :
" THE WELLAND V. THE ERIE CANAL.—We set it
down as a conceded fact—a fact established by figures
—that the business of the Welland canal is increasing.
The tolls during the month of August,,lB42, exceed
those of the same month in 1841, to the amount
of about 9,000 dollars. Yet, notwithstanding this
increase, only a comparatively small portion of the
produce of the west passes through that channel.—
The Cleveland Herald says that produce of the value
of $309,936 26 was shipped from that port during
the month of September, and of that amount only
$157,190 38 went through the IVelland Canal. So
that there is yet, as they say in the west, a smart
chance' to have the Canadian trade increased, and
there is no doubt but that it will be increased, unless
some efficient means are promptly taken to counter-
act the effect which the improvements now progress-
ing in Canada will have upon the trade."
SOMETHING NEW.—MORE OF THE WELLAND
CANA L.—A schooner came into our port on Wednes-
day, from St. Joseph, on Lake Michigan, with 5,000
bushels of wheat for Charles J. Hill. This event is
important. We are assured, by a gentleman ac-
quainted with the forwarding business in all its branches
that if there was a good M'Adam road made to the
river, opposite Carthage, he could land wheat at the
mills in Rochester at from two to five cents a bushel
cheaper than if brought down the Erie Canal.
The news from Galveston, in Texas, is im-
portant, as will be seen from the subjoined details.
A despatch, dated Camp Salado, 20th September,
mentions that Colonel Caldwell, with a force of 350
Texians, had an engagement with General Wall, in
which the latter came off victorious. The Mexicans
left 100 killed on the field of battle, besides 200
wounded. A company of 59 men, called the Fayette
Volunteers, in attempting to join the camp of Colonel
Caldwell, were cut off, and took position in a thicket,
from which they defended themselves against an infi-
nitely superior force, until completely cut to pieces ;
thirty-three of the number were found dead on the
field, and the remainder supposed to have been made
prisoners of war.
Accounts were daily expected at Galveston of a de-
cisive battle between the contending forces.
A rumour prevailed at Linville that a Mexican re-
inforcement of 2,500 men were at the Nueces, and
Colonel Clark Owen, of Texiana, was out to ascertain
its truth. Colonel W. G. Cook was again in the field,
having joined Colonel Burleson with 200 Texians and
100 Indians.

MEXICO AND TEXAS.
(Correspondence of. the New York Herald.)
NBW ORLEANS, OCT. 17.—We had yesterday fur-
ther accounts from Texas. The schooner Acorn ar-
rived from the Sabine river, and reports that just pre-
vious t') her sailing a schooner arrived there from
Galveston, with accounts of the capture, plunder, and
burning of Austin, the seat of the Government of
Texas, by the advanced guard of the Mexican army,
under General Wall, who it appears met with no op-
position, and did not lose a man. Our last accounts
previous to this, left General Burleson, with 1,000
Texians, near St. Antonio, and if the present news
is true, he must have fallen back on the eastern
counties, as Austin is four hundred miles this
side. If so the Texians will probably make a
stand near the Brazos River, where the country' is
populous, and the people of Eastern Texas could
readily join them. My opinion is the Mexicans will
march through Texas and take possession of it. That
country has no money and no credit, the volunteers
who went down there last spring to assist it were
Ilshamefully used, and none could be found now to
assist it when the wolf has really come.- General
Adrian Wall, who commands the advanced guard

of the Mexicans, is either a Pole or a Frenchman by
birth. He served early in France, and afterwards
joined the Mexicans in their revolutions against
Spain, and served with success in several campaigns.
He is very hostile against Texas, having been made
prisoner by General Houston while bearing a flag of
truce from General Filiciola, who commanded the
Mexican army n'. the campaign of 1036, after the
capture of Santa 'Anna. General Wall is able and
experienced, a good disciplinarian, and has good
troops, which he has drilled in person. Samuel
Houston is an imbecile, and will be no match for him
in the field. That is my opinion. I know them both ;
however we shall- soon see the result of the invasion.
A brig sailed from there a few days since for Vera
Cruz. with 2,000 barrels of coal for the Mexican war
steamers, and in all probability the Mexican fleet will
attack Galveston by sea in a very short time. That
done, and a good army of 7,000 to 8,000 men
marching from the W,pst, unless the Texians make a
grand rally and gain some decisive advantage, their
country is lost, for they have not. the means to sustain
an efficient army in the field for any length of time,
and they cannot expect assistance from the- United
States—our people have lost and suffered too much to
be induced to aid them any more under such an ineffi-
cient Government as they have at present.
P.S. A schooner has just arrived from Galveston
and brings newspapers of 10th. The Mexicans had
not advanced: farther. St. Antonio and Austin are
not burned. The Texians were rallying to the rescue,
and appeared to be very confident of their ability to
defend the country, I hope they may not be dis-
appointed.

The Neptune steamer arrived this morning from
New York via Charleston and Havannah. She made
the run from the latter place in sixty hours from city
to city.

(From the New ,York Herald, Oct. 31.)
We have had nothing new from this part of the
world since the arrival of the. Henrietta at New Or-
leans,
whose hews to the Bth of October we published
a few days since.
The second general invasion of Texas by the Mexi-
can army will be a very serious affair before the Mexi-
cans are driven out of Texas. Already 100 Texians
have been killed, and about double that number of
Mexicans. Yet there has 'been Ito engagement be-
tween the hostile forces on this occasion that could be
dignified by the name of a fight—nothing but skir-
mishes. They have had the effeot, however, of keep-
ing the Mexicans in check. But when the remainder_
of the Mexican forces, amounting probably to 15,000
men, enter Texas in three divisions, as they will do,
and the powerful fleet of Mexico blockades and bom-
bards the ports of Texas, the " lone star" republic will
have very tough work of it.
• That she will ultimately triumph over the Mexi-
cans we do not for a moment doubt ; but to do this
she must have assistance, in some shape, from the
United States. If not men, she certainly must have
provisions, arms, and munitions of war. We very
much doubt whether there can be found fighting men
enough in Texas to beat back the large force which
Mexico is about to bring against her. And the
shameful manner in which the recent volunteers from
the United States have been treated
.by the authori-
ties in Texas, renders it very doubtful whether she
will have much more assistance in that way. Never-
theless, if matters were to grow desperate, find the
Texians were to be driven-this side the Brazos, we think
perhaps that numbers of gallant spirits would rush in
there from the Southern and South-Western States; in
which event the Mexicans would be driven out of the
country in three weeks, with great slaughter.
In the meantime our Government has offered to
mediate between the two countries, and we think
Great Britain ought also to offer her services for the
same object. Almonte, the Mexican Ambassador, bas
been presented to the President.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, OCT. 31.

The feeling at the Stock Board was a little better,
if anything. Prices generally rose under very small
sales. Ohio Sixes of 1866 rose per cent. ; Mo-
hawk, ' • Harlem, I.
In the Bill-market for the packet, the mails for
which close to-day, there has been a fair demand, with
a commensurate supply, though not a large one. 'The
rates. close, however, at a rise on the average sales.
The greater proportion of .stOng

5 pz..r cent. Paris, 15 ; Amsterdam 38 a 38-4-.
Lower rates are confidentially anticipated. Treasury

has accumulated in, great abUndance. New York,
Paris, and London, are -each possessed of unusual
amounts. This is seen in the following table of • the
amount of specie held by the Banks of England and
of France, and an approximation to that held by the
New York Banks, based upon their condition in

This is the state of affairs which
. .
has succeeded one
of the greatest money pressures that ever overtook the
commercial world. The immediate causes of that
pressure k.rew out of the extension of the credit sys-
tem of England, by which she lent to other nations
sums so large that the bullion of the Bank fell from
1833 to 1836-37 nearly 35,000,000 dol. In all
that time she was under no necessity to purchase fo-
reign corn, and her large imports of produce from the
United States were paid for by the export of her
manufactures. Her real difficulties did not ar-
rive until, through the failure of her harvest,
she was obliged to buyuently, to pay for it
corn of hard mo-
ney countries, and, enn
in hard money. During the past year by -a combi-
nation has been enabled to in-
-
ereas of circumstances
in-
crease theiiucaunmtisttyanocfes shes efl
her-
bullion in the face of large
imports of grain. At this crisis, however, her inter-
course with the United States has undergone an im-
portant change. The United States has become a
hard money country with a prohibitive tariff, and her
cotton and produce now stand in relation to England
as did the wheat of Europe in years of scarcity. It
must be had, and it to be had must be paid for in
specie. This is the channel through which the accu-
mulated specie and the plenteousness of money in
Paris and London is to find its vent. The accumula-
tion in New York is Or-
leans,alrea and the drain from ngland is about to com-
tx in motion to New
mence.
This movement of specie will start trade, but in the
mean time there is no demand for money for business
purposes, and stocks from various causes are almost
wholly neglected.
There is some little demand for New York State
and Corporation Stocks for investment, but generally
there is little doing. In Ohio the recent election has
brought into power the party favourable to a new
State loan, at 10 per cent. interest. This has affected
York State there are their stocks, and in New
appre-
hensions of a similar result at the election which takes
place on the Bth inst.

COTTON TEAM.
The state of the markets' in all the ports his had a
downward tendency. At iNew Orleans theii has been
a good demand for the English and French markets,

but the low state of the exchanges renders it almost
impossible to operate. The principal transactions an;
made in specie, and the holders of that medium make
purchases almost on the same terms. This state .of
the currency at the head of the market for produce
operating with the 'great abundance of the new crop,
causes the general decline in prices.
CORN TRADE.

There has been only a fair demand for broadstuffs
since our last report. -IVe notice no material ahem-
tion in prices in this market. Supplies are to a fait' •
extent, having reached to upwards of 850,000 barrels
for the season. This only includes that received downs
the North River. We have had an aggregate supply
this year of one million barrels.
Extensive sales of wheat were making in Buffalo
on the 26th, at 63 cents. Best brands of flour $3,50,
although inferior miscellaneous samples have been
sold as low as $3,00. Corn is out of request at 34
cents. Oats 15 cents on the 28th. A cargo of 5,000
bushels wheat from Monroe was afloat, which was
contracted for to arrive, but the purchaser failel to
meet his engagement. It will probably bring 67 cents.
An advance of freights on the canal have thrown corn
out of the market. There was one cargo afloat, but
no offers to purchase.
The best samples of wheat were offered freely in
Cleveland, on the 26th, at 60 cents, at which some
sales were made. There was no particular price for
flour, holders being unwilling to accede to rates cor-
responding with the New York market-3f would
be given.

We do not believe that the average price all over
the country, will reach four dollars a barrel. We be-
lieve that it is certainly one shilling under that point.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

SMITH V. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT.
The arguments in this part-heard case occupied the
Lord Chancellor the whole day. They were resumed
to-day from last Thursday.

.
VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY).
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir JAMES WIGRAX.)
HOWARD V. PRICE —PRICE V. HOWARD.

His Hosiona gave judgment in this cause. The
plaintiff in this case was the husband of the defendant,
Catherine Howard. Catherine Howard was the only
child and next of kin of Ann Diana West, the testa-
trix in the cause, who died in the month of July,
1829. The object of the plaintiff's bill was to have it
declared that as to the 1,5001. the testatrix died intes-
tate, and that he was entitled to it as next of kin, and
to have it declared that certain stock standing in the
name of the testatrix, was, in point of fact, the pro-
perty of the plaintiff's wife. £here was a cross bill
filed by West, whose interest was opposed to that of
the plaintiff. Both these bills had to a certain extent
one object, which was to administer the estate of the
testatrix. By her will the testatrix settled her Three
per Cent. stock upon Catherine Howard, in a certain
manner under which her daughter took an interest for
life, and West and other parties took an interest in
remainder and other events. There were standing in
the name of the testatrix three sums of Four per Cent.
Stock, 2001., 1,8501., and 7501. The testatrix had
bequeathed all her interest in the New Four per Cent.
Bank Annuities, and those who claimed adversely to
Mr. Howard, the plaintiff in the first cause, said that
all this New Four per Cent. standing in her name
passed under that behest. Mr. Howard said that
1501. of the 2001. was purchased with his money, and
that the testatrix was a trustee for him for that sum.
With regard to the 1,8501. New Four per Cent. An-
nuities, the. history of them was this :—The husband
of Ann Diana West purchased 871. Long Annui-
ties in the name of Ann Diana West, and
Mrs. Howard, the plaintiff's wife. After his
death, and after the marriage of the plaintiff, those Long
Annuities were sold out, and vested in the purchase
of 1,8501. New Four per Cents., but instead of being
purchased in the joint names of Ann Diana West,
the testatrix, and Mrs. Howard, it was, by the direc-
tion of Ann Diana West, purchased in her own name
alone. With respect to the 7501., Mrs. Howard was
owner, in fee simple, of a house at Twickenham. In
the year 1825 it was sold, and part of the money, 1
7501, was laid out in the purchase of New Four per
Cents. Long Annuities, which New Four per Cents.,
although the house at Twickenham was the property
of Mrs. Howard, were purchased in the sole
name of Ann Diana West. With regard to
the 750/. The plaintiff admitted that at the death of
the testatrix he owed her 1,5001. upon a promissory-
note ; and the only question was, whether that 1,500/.
was undisposed of by the will and codicil. With
regard to the 1501., the sole evidence given upon the
subject was, that upon the stock receipt for that 2001.
there was written in the handwriting of the testatrix,
"50/. is mine." It was impossible that he could from
that draw an inference in favour of the plaintiff.
'With regard to the 1,850/., the plaintiff's case was
stronger with respect to that sum than the others.
This sum having been purchased by the husband of Ann
Diana West, and the father of Mrs. Howard, in the
joint names of Ann Diana West, his wife, and Mrs.
Howard, the presumption would be that there was an
advancement, a gift to the two ; and if the Long An-
nuities had stood in the name of the two, the daughter
would unquestionably have been entitled to it. In
point of fact, the whole was transferred into the name
of the mother, and it appeared at the mother's direc-
tion. She died in 1829, and the plaintiff had, since
that time, been acting under a power of attorney from
the executors of Ann Diana West, thereby acknow-
ledging that it was, in point of fact, part of the estate
of the testatrix. It was not till after this long
lapse of time, when called upon to pay this
1,8501., that he set up the case which he had done.
With regard to the 1,5001., he was most clearly in
Mr. Howard's favour, subject to certain directions
with respect to taking the accounts. Mr. West's
executor's bill prayed a declaration as to this 1,5001.
He could not dismiss Mr. 'West's bill then, because
he prayed to have that sum brought into Court, and
the creditors might be interested. With respect to
the 7501., he would have no hesitation, as a juryman,
in saying that that was the property of Mrs. Howard,
and that the plaintiff would be entitled to it in right
of his wife. He would direct an issue to try that
question. The effect of his decree would be to dis-
miss Howard's bill as to the 2001. and 1,8501., and
to declare that the 1,500/. due upon Howard's note
was undisposed of by the will and codicil ; this decla-
ration to be without prejudice to the accounts here-
after to be directed.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
M'IITOSH V. NEW COLLEGE.

This was an action brought for the purpose of
trying the validity of a modus for the tithes Of the
parishes of Lambourne, Stapleford Abbotts, and
Hornchurch. The cause had been tried at Chelms-
ford, and the Jury had returned a verdict for the
plaintiff. A rule nisi had been obtained for a new
trial, on the grounds that the verdict on one of the
counts of the declaration was against evidence, and
that the Learned Judge who had tried the cause had
misdirected the Jury.
The case came on for argument this morning, when
the Solicitor-General, Mr. Platt, and Mr. Gurney,
appeared to argue against the rule, and Sir Thomas
Wilde, Mr. Sergeant Channel!, Mr. Petersdorff, and
Mr. Peacock, to support it.
The arguments in this case were of a most unin-
teresting nature. They had not been brought to a
conclusion at the time we went to piess.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

DE MEDINA V. SIIARPNELL.

This cause had been set down for trial at Guild-
hall in the sittings after last term, but was struck out
of the paper, the plaintiff not being ready to go to
trial on account of the absence of a principal witness.
Mr. Sergeant Shea, upon affidavit that the plaintiff
had merits to go before a Jury, this day obtained a
rule for a new trial.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY.

PRATT V. DELARUE.

The plaintiff in this ease had sued in forma pau-
penis ; and on the 4th of November last an order had
been made by Mr. Baron Rolfe to the effect that a
summons taken out by him should be refused, with
costs to be paid to the defendant. Mr, Home, on be-
half of the plaintiff, had on a former day obtained a
rule calling on the defendant to show cause why this
order should not be set aside, on the ground that a
pauper could not be taxed with costs.
Mr. OTTER now appeared to show cause against
this rule. The Learned Counsel contended, in the
first place, that parties pleading in forma pauperis were
not liable to be exempted from interlocutory costs, or
costs incurred upon an application independent of the
main suit; and secondly, that the plaintiff did not
conic within the operation of the statute, inasmuch a 3
he had not pleaded as a pauper until after the case had
been commenced.
Mr. lIoRNE supported the rule, and submitted that,
according to the practice of the Court, paupers were
not liable for the payment of any costs ; but that if
any proceeding which could be considered vexatious
were taken by them, the usual course was to apply
for a rule calling upon them to show cause why they
should not be dispaupered.
The COURT held that, according to practice, paupers
were not liable for interlocutory costs, and the rule
should therefore be made absolute ; thus rescinding
that portion of the order of Mr. Baron Rolfe which
ordered payment to the defendant.
