QUARTER T O .
It seems that in the manufacturing districts there has
been some improvement recently, although the state of
suffering continues very groat. The import trade has not
been very brisk this week in the port of London, but
this is no evil, as our stocks of produce are suffi-
ciently large for our wants under the present
fiscal system, and we can always with money,
which many persons at home like our trading with in
preference to goods, secure fresh supplies. An
improvement in our export trade is, at pre-
sent, the " one thing needful." We cannot
help noticing with satisfaction; the establishment of Col-
chester as a bonding port. The extension of the bonding
system lessens the cost of various articles of consumption
to the poorer classes. Still, however,r. there • ivsoinet
reform wanting, in order to prevent the: abuse .oQ -the
bonding privileges, and the defraudingOf the; ititeithd:

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCIC.--This morn-
.ing, about a quarter past seven o'clock, the follow-
ing melancholy accident took place on the river within a
short distance of Vauxhall-bridge. It appears that two
Young men of the names of charles Phippson and Henry
James Phippson, brothers, both button-makers, and who
resided in Ebury-street, Pimlico, were proceeding to
Ilungerford-market in a boat, when, by some accident,
they ran against a coal barge which was lying near the
terminus of the South Western Railway. They pro-
ceeded onward, little imagining what was to follow,
when, to their terror and astonishmment, they found
that their boat had sprung a leak owing to the concussion
with the barge, and in less than two minutes it was filled
with water, and went down. Charles Phippson, being
an expert swimmer, swam to the shore, but his brother,
we regret to state, sank, to rise no more. Every endea-
vour was • made to save him, but without success. The
unfortunate young man was in his 23d year, and was
to have been married on Sunday week. Ills brother
took off his coat and vest, and dived in after him, but
without avail.

not concluded when the Court rose.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY•)

LANGTON V. HORTON.
This case was partly heard last term. The facts `lete
these :—The plaintiff assigned to the defendant a eet7
ship or whaler, and in the deed of assignment all
boats, sails, masts, oars, and appurtenances, were CO3
veyed to the defendant. At the time of the c°"n
veyance the ship was out on her voyage in the S4),llth
0
Seas, and some months afterwards arrived at .Iklk°
Haren. She arrived with an ordinary, cargo of oil, ice
and and the defendant claimed and took -possession of thit
whole of the cargo and fishing apparatus, alleging t'the
the deed of assignment gave him a title thereto, as r.
cargo and stores were comprised under the word 4P%
tenances. The plaintiff then instituted the present 511
for the purpose of restraining the defendant.
Mr. _PEMBERTON was heard for the plaintiff, anu '•
16
TURNER for the defendant. The case occupied the
of yesterday afternoon and this morning. n
His LORDSHIP said he would reserve his judgment.,;,
,:f
appeared to him, that, previous to the arrival of the swt
the defendant had treated the assignment as a kind
be
mortgage ; if so, there could be no question between.l,e,
parties. He would, however, take the case into con.l'
ration at an early period.

THE QUEEN V. THE VESTRYMEN, OF THE Fußifitt 01'
MARYLEBoNE.
In this case a rule had been obtained, calling upfl
Vestrymen of the parish of Marylebone, to show cs;
why a writ of mandamus should not issue directed to Oleo
and commanding them to invest the surplus of any su'"i
remaining in their hands, and derived from pew-rents

upon the matter, he offered the plaintiff 40/ Tor it: at

illegally.
Mr. Crumpton and Mr. Hill, in support of the - b
