The supply of Beasts on offer was, for the tittle of year,
moderately extensive, but of middling quality. For all
kinds the demand ruled heavy, and Monday's prices wore
with difficulty supported. From Holland we received 66
Beasts, 60 Sheep, and 24 Calves ; from Scotland 100 Scots,
mostly in fair condition. The number of Sheep were larger
by 1,000 than those exhibited on this day se'unight. The
Mutton trade was very dull, and the rates had a downward
tendency. In Lambs, next to nothing was doing, at a de-
pression of 2d per Blbs. Calves moved off slowly, at late
rates. The value of Pigs was generally supported. Mitch
Cuws sold at from 161. to 191. each, including their small Calf.

The accounts which have reached us from mid Kent are
to the effect that the bine is looking very unpromising ;
but from all other parts our advices are, comparatively
;peaking, favourable. For most kinds of Hops we have a
steady demand, at fully previous quotations. A pocket of
oew Hops, grown at Beckley, in Sussex, was on offer this
morning by Mr. Dunk ; . the quality was good, and the ask-
ing price 8/. 10s. per cwt. The duty is called 175,0001.

SE CONDARIE---(T HIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
BROWN C. WILKINSON.
COLLISION AT SEA.—This was an action brought to
recover compensation for damages done to the City of
London steamer during a collision at sea.
Mr. tY.IMES appeared for the plaintiff, and stated the
case. The plaintiffs were owners of the above vessel.
which was a fine iron steamer, trading between Aber.
deem and London, and was nearly a new vessel, having
only made eight voyages. The damage for which com-
pensation was now sought occurred during the only
part of the morning of the Bth of llovembec
last. When off Orfordness, the watch on board the
steamer perceived a collier brig, or snow, bearing dowi
upon her larboard bow at a spanking rate. It was ah u;
two o'clock and hazy. The helm of the City of Londot
was ported, which we nal have prevented the calli-io:
had the brig not alter( d her course. The brig wa cane.'
the opring. He would ask the jury it some of them lap
not observed that colders passing Gravesend did not g
at a greater rate, ar.d more carelessly, than any tithe'
vessel ? Colliers having discharged their cargo wee.
back with only just sufficient ballast for the sail they
intended to carry, and it was pretty welt
that homeward• bound colliers sacrificed almost
everything to expedition, tied there etas a wealthy
club, which paid all damage done or suffered by them.
Tne defendant had not denied his carelessness, and wil-
fulness was not imputed ; the only question was the
amount of damage sustained. It would be proved that
a proper watch had been kept onboard the City of Lon-
don, but that when she was run into the wizen-mast
was knocked and the rigging of the jib-boom in-
jured ; the brig was also greatly damaged, as
she was going with a free wind, and the steamer
was going with great impetus, although the steam
had been shut off. The ultimate consequence was,
that the collier sunk whilst being towed into Harwich by
the City of London, and, unfortunately, from some acci-
dent, one of the crew of the • collier was lost. The da-
mage done to the vessel wss not the only loss sustained,
as the insurance had to be paid, and the crew who were
attached to the vessel were useless for 15 days, and one
voyage was lost. It would be shown that her average
net profits had been 2881. per voyage, and her
latter voyages had .produced 3501. The Learned
Counsel then called several witnesses to prove that a
survey of the vessel had been made by order of the
magistrates at Aberdeen, and that the damages were up-
wards of 2004 She had been struck about fifty feet from
the stem on the larboard side.

The secretary and clerks to the Aberdeen Steam
Navigation Company proved the vessel belonged to the
Company, and the profit, as stated by the Learned
Counsel.

Captain Curgill admitted that they had been mu into
about an hour before the accident complained of, but the
hull of the vessel did not touch ; there was merely a
slight injury done to the rigging.
Mr. nut then addressed the jury for the defendants,
and, in the first instance, submitted that the plaintiffs
were only entitled to nominal damages, as the vessel
occasioning the damage had gone to the bottom. He
contended that this was according to the maritime law.
Mr. JAMES—That is in cases where the action is
brought against the ship.
The SECONDARY was of opinion that this objection
did not apply to this case. -
Mr. FISH said he could hardly expect the Learned
Secondary to decide in his favour in such a point, as it
was one which must in either case come before the court
above, and the defendants had been well advised. The
point being held against him he should to the jury on
the question of damage;. Survey°. s apl ointed by prop- r
authority had been examined. end he did not intend for au

instant. to question their judginelit, but he would leaveTt
to the jury wh..ther m. re damage had been dune by the
first collision than had been given in evidence. Then,
again, there was a charge tor the loss of the voyage, al-
though another vessel had been put on. 56Z was also
charged for the crew, who had been banging about Aber-
deen when they could have hevn put on the extra vessel.
Mr. JAMES said they were i-ng,geil th,
that

The SECONDARY summed up, an,l said the question
was ent&rely for the jury.
The jury, after a short deliberation, gave a general
verdict for 2511.
