THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

Although we had a veryGAR exteDnsive time-of-year
IT Y of most kinds of vegetables on sale here to-
a - -43', the demand for them was, on the whole, steady;
?'et the ruling prices were, comparatively speaking,
low. However, a good clearance was effected. A
arge arrival of fruit has again taken place from
road, but its general quality, being very inferior, it
commanded little attention. The best English fruit
as taken off readily, and fair currencies were real-
'sett for it. We had some few parcels of new
l'lBsnges and lemons, on offers which produced from
d' alt„? lOs per 100. Potatoes were again very abun-

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

FREDERICK V. WILKINS

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this
case, which came before him on appeal from an order
of Vice-Chancellor Wigram. It appeared that in the
year'lB3B a decretal order had been made by Lord
Cottenham, upon the hearing of the case, directing
that inquiries should be made by the Master as to
how possession had been obtained under a contract for
a sale of furniture, previously to the issuing of a com-
mission. The Master made his report—that report
had been 'Confirmed ; and an application was now
made to set aside that order, on the grounds that
it had been altogether unnecessary, and that the facts
were-sufficiently admitted on the pleadings for the
decision of the cause. The whole point in controversy
depended on the fact of possession, and the time v. hen
possession was taken under the contract. It was
suggested that the period at which the inquiry was
directed, namely, before the issuiug of the commis-
sion was not the right period. But his Lordship was I
of opinion that it was; and he felt therefore bound to
affirm the judgment of the Court below, and to affirm
it with costs.

Leave was however given to set down the case for
further directions.

The COURT was then occupied in hearing appeal
motions which presented no feature of public interest.

LANCASTER V. EVORS.

The further arguments in this part-heard case oc-
cupied the Court the remainder of the day.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. SIR M. A. SHEE AND OTHERS.

The question in this case was, whether the Royal
Academicians were liable to be rated to the poor-
rates for their occupation of a part of the National
Gallery. The parish officers of St. Martin's-in-the-
Fields had rated the AcadeMicians to the poor-rate
for St. Martin's parish, on account of the rooms oc-
cupied by them in the National Gallery, situated in
their parish. The Quarter Sessions confirmed the
rate, and that decision was appealed against by the
Academy.
The Attorney and Solicitor-Generals and Mr.
Smyrke appeared for the appellants,; and Mr. Erle
and Mr. Bodkin for the respondents.
For the respondents it was contended that as the
Academicians occupied these rooms, and received
money for the admission of the public, that constituted
such a beneficial occupation as to render them liable
to the poor-rate. They also occupied some portion of
the building as schools, and a grand dinner was given
there every year. These circumstances, it was con-
tended, were sufficient to constitute the Academicians
beneficial occupiers of these premises, and consequently
to render them liable to the poor-rate. For the ap-
pellants it was contended that the property sought to
be rated was Crown property, and was only occupied
by the Academy as servants, of the Crown, who
might be dismissed by the Crown whenever the Crown
should think fit. • With regard to money being taken
at the doors, that did not, make it a beneficial occupa-
tion of such a nature as to render the Academy liable
to the poor-rates. The Institution was supported by
the Crown; for some years past there had been no
necessity to have recourse ,to the bounty, because the
money taken at the doors had been sufficient to sup-
port the expenses of the establishment ; but if those
fund should fall off; the Academicians would be
forced to have recourse to the bounty of the
Crown ; so that, in fact, rating them Would
be rating the Crown. Money was taken for ad-
mission to the Tower, but no one ever contended
that the fact of money being taken for admission to
the Tower, constituted such a beneficial occupation as
to render it liable to the rate. The Institution had
been founded by the Crown, and originally had apart-
ments appropriated to them, in the Royal Palace of
Somerset House. On the rebuilding of Somerset
House, apartments had been again appropriated to their
use, and there they had continued until they
had removed to Trafalgar-square. They were
the servants of the Crown, employed by
the Crown to superintend the education of the Queen's
subjects in painting, sculpture, and architecture ;
they had no beneficial occupation; and inasmuch as
they occupied the rooms merely as servants of the
Crown, therefore they were not liable to be rated. •
The Court took time to consider its judgment.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 184-2.

GREAT FREE -TRADE

FESTIVAL.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING.
Last night the, members and friends of the Anti-
Monopoly AssOClation of this town, in pursuance of
previous announcement, held their grand meeting in
the Royal Amphitheatre, commencing with refresh-
ments in tea and coffee, which were succeeded by ad-
mirable addresses by a number of gentlemen, distin-
guished, in other parts of the kingdom, as well as in
our own town, in the cause of free trade. Placards
had some days before been posted, announcing that,
amongst other speakers, Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P.,
and Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., would be present.
and this, coupled with the further announcement oi
the names of other favourites of this and other places,
excited much interest in the minds of the Reformers
of "the good old town." The tickets of admission,
to the better parts of the house, were consequently
much in requisition, particularly during the last two
days, and even yesterday morning had become at a
premium, purchasable only from a few private indi-
viduals, the number, equal to the accommodation of
the house (upwards of 3,000) having previously been
disposed of by the Committee. Unluckily,
owing to circumstances which were ex-
plained by the Chairman (as will appear), neither
Mr. O'Connell nor Mr. Hume were present.
It appeared that both were detained by events which
they could not control, and that the Committee, from
the communications of assent which they had received
from each, were justified in issuing the placards, so far
as a. belief, amounting to almost certainty, in the ar-
rival of the distant parties, gave authority to their de-
cision. The meeting, nevertheless, was most animated
and interesting, there being a number of eloquent
speakers on the stage ; and the enthusiasm with which
the sentiments uttered were received by a crowded
auditory, sufficiently showed that there is yet a strong
" backbone" of reform in the town, and that a slight
impulse is alone required to bring the whole body into
energetic action.
The house was simply but suitably decorated and
fitted for the occasion. At the back of the stage, and
in the centre, was fixed a motto in transparency, being
an extract from a recent speech of the Premier, as
follows :

SIR ROBERT PEEL'S DECLARATION IN FAVOUR OF FREE

TRADE.

" It is a Principle admitted by all, that We should
BUY in the CHEAPEST MARKET and sell in the DEAREST."
—See Speech, May 10, 1842.
On the right of the stage, behind, was a large blue
silk flag of the Anti-Monopoly Association—device,
Britannia and the Lion guarding the Reform Bill,
and inscribed below, " Instituted January, 1842."
On the left was a blue flag, of equal size, with the
Liverpool arms and motto.
The tables for the tea party were ranged in paral-
lel lines across the stage and the pit, about ten in
number, and calculated' to accommodate froin 400 to
500 persons. Similar refreshments were provided
for those in the boxes, in the. saloon, and ante-rooms
attached to that department of the building. About
1,000 tickets in all were, we learn, issued for tea ;
but, including the galleries, a much greater number
were present, the theatre which will hold between
2,000 and 3,000, being filled in every part, not ex-
cepting many of the passages. A musical band was
stationed in front of the central gallery, and played
several airs in the early part of the evening.
Amongst the company we observed the following
gentlemen :—W. Rathbone, Lsq. (announced as Chair-
man) ; Messrs. J. S. Buckingham J. Bright, C.
Holland, John Smith, Richard Shiel, W. B. Hodg-
son, Vincent Higgins, Lawrence Heyworth, J. P.

The three boxes on each side of the stage, as well
as the managers' boxes, were 'filled almost exclusively,
by ladies. A number-of others were also interspersed
throughout the pit and, Centre boxes, and the htinSe
throughout presented- a very animated and gay ap-
pearance.. • • • •
The business of taking tea and coffee, with the' ac-
companiment of cakes, bun loaf, &c., was concluded

to make himself heard he
by all. They might
naturally ask, in the first place, why he appeared in
the honourable position in which be there stood, and
not a better and more competent person. He could
not but state in reply, that if they could not get all
they wanted, they must take all they could obtain.
They must in fact be
contented with his endeavours
on this occasion, and he
would do his best to meet
their wishes. He then stated' that he had several
letters:to read, which would
account for the absence
of some of their warmest and most distinguished
friends. The first was a letter from the Earl of Sef-
ton, who stated that he

The CHAIRMAN proceeded
to
state that he must
now trouble the meeting with
a rather lingish letter
and correspondence, accounting for the announce-
ment of Mr. O'Connell's presence, and the absence of
that gentleman from the
w hick they had all to meeting—a circumstance
,' tne from Mr. regret.—(He then read two
letters
O'Connell
and another from his
son, Mr. Morgan O'Connell, Prom which it appeared
that Mr. O'Connell was to leave Dublin on the 17th,
and would be in
Liver"
by the 18th.)—The
Society (continued the pi
speaker) were thus justified
in announcing that Mr. O'Connell would be present
that evening. With respect

enough to state, he doubted that he had been un-
able to do so from an unforeseen domestic calamity.

the effects of iniquitous legislation were at length
