MULLIN V. LLOYD.

This was an action on a bill of exchange. The defendant
was the drawer, and resides at Liverpool, the plaintiff at Mac;
chester. The plea put on the record was that due notice of
dishonour had not been given. No person appeared on the
part of the defendant to support the plea ; the facts, there-
fore, were not gone into, except proof that the bill was dis-
honoured in London one day, arrived at Manchester the next,
and notice given on the day after. The acceptor had been sued
at the Liverpool spring assizes, and became bankrupt. The
present action was brought to recover the amount of the bill
and costs.—Verdict for plaintiff.

In the Canadian papers, received to-day, we have very sa-
tisfactory proofs afforded of the energetic and humane
exertions of the more fortunate inhabitants of Quebec in
affording relief to the sufferers by the dreadful conflagra-
tion. That so much should have been accomplished, espe-
cially by some of the poorer classes, is most praiseworthy.
The following will give some idea of what was effected :-
1. The sales of provisions from the country, sold at re-
duced rates to the sufferers, amount at present to 261/. 14s.
2. The number of sufferers (amounting to upwards of
10,000 rendered houseless) who remained unprovided with
lodgings in the dwellings of the other inhabitants, during the
night after the fire, was only 46 ! At present there are only
88 of the sufferers at the Old Custom-house, the others being
still provided for by the inhabitants.
3. Clothing has been furnished to 5,488 persons, amount-
ing, according to a low estimated value, to 1,329/.lBs.
7,900 persons were relieved with
besides 69/. given under pecu-
liar
mo4n.ceiD3Lariminnsogtuatntlthceinfisg.rsttow3e,9esk3,

5. Stray articles, amounting to about 1,000/., have been
recovered, chiefly by the exertions of the police, and distri-
buted to their owners, under the superintendence of Robert
Symes, Esq.
It will be remembered that the services of the ladies in
assorting the immense quantities of clothing was zealously
given, and was most valuable. Indeed, the conduct of the
whole population of Quebec, of all sexes, classes, and de-
scriptions, on the occasion of the late calamity, does them
the greatest honour, and to none more than the poorer
classes in the town and adjacent parishes, who, mostly gra-
tuitously, lodged, and, in many instances, ted and clothed
the sufferers, amounting to about a third of the whole popu.
lation of Quebec. If the calamity has been great, it never
was met in a better spirit in any country—a spirit which
indeed is " douiely blessed."
The number of passengers arrived at Quebec up to the
21st ult. was 12,739, being an increase over the number to
the same time last year of 3,886.
The accounts from the United States relative to the grow-
ing crops appear to be conflicting.
There are some hopes, judging by the tenour of to-day's
letters from the Brazils, that the increased duties on British pro-
duce will nOt be enforced at Rio on the Ist
.instant as proposed,
but that a delay will be accorded to ascertain what has been
done in England. In the meantime trade at Rio necessarily
suffered very much.
There continues to be a fiat market for the Public Se-
curities, the state of affairs in Spain no doubt co-operating
with the unsettled weather. Consols have been 98% % for
present transfer, and 98% % for Account; Exchequer-bills
have not been higher than 545. to 565., premium ; the New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, are ]O2 to 10214; Bank
Stock is steady at 210% to 2111/.
Spanish Bonds have gone lower again, upon the intelligence
from Catalonia. The Five per Cents. have been down to
24%, and the Three per Cents, to 36 and 353/i. Portuguese,
Converted have been at 65%. Colombian Bonds are 173/4.
Shares, with one or two exceptions, have been rather
lower. The old lines are best supported, and Great 'Western
Midland, and Brighton are higher.
