IMPoRTAST VERDIoT.--ln our report of yester-
days proceedings in the superior court will be
found the decision of the case of Milbank Us Den
nistoun & Co. The suit TO recover from
house in Liverpool $4,000 as damages arising
from dsobedicnce neglect of instruction and
want of care on the part OF a commission merchant
entrusted with the disposal of 5000 barrels of -four
shipped from this city. II seems the -four sold,
earlier than the directions suggested, at twenty
one shillings per barrel, when, had it been kept
about three weeks longer, it would have brought
twenty nine shillings The transaction was about
the time the British Parliament made reduction
in the duties, and the plaintiffs request was 10
store the flour until the reduction of duty should
have its anticipated effect. Judge Sandford
planned that the only question for the jury
whether the plaintiff had properly sustained his
plea, thus intimating that, as point of law, the
matter was perfectly clear. The jury considered
that the complaint was well sustained, and
turned verdict for y j 80 81.
This seems to decide that factor is in no
sense the owner of consigned goods, and cannot
dispose OF them on his own judgment without in
curing the responsibility of making good losses
that may occur by a sudden rise in the market
value of the commodity--that TO insure a commits
sion merchant from such liability, he must have a
special contract with his principal, which can be
made to appear in evidence as his authority in the
matter. Considering the immense amount of bust
ness done through the hands of these universal
agents, this decision has mercantile importance
of no ordinary degree.-N Y. Tribune.
EARTHQUAKES IN MIDDLEsEx.-A very severe
shock of an earthquake felt in several of the
towns in the middle of this county on Monday at
ternoon, between 3 and O'Clock Two very loud
and heavy explosions heard, and the earth
and buildings continued to tremble during the mo-
ments which elapsed,
AtActon, Concord, and other towns, the people
ran out of the houses and stores, surprising some
terrible explosion of the powder min in Sudbury
had occurred. At Concord, Acton, Carlisle, Bed
ford, Lexington, Lincoln, Stow, and probably
many other towns, the shocks were distinctly real
lied, and it was generally supposed to have been
the blowing up of some powder mill. BY some
persons the shaking said to resemble that pro-
duced by the rolling of something heavy in room
overhead. similar shaking of the earth felt
in the same locality about year ago, carly in the
morning .-Bunker Hill aurora.
