Gush', T. Fahey, G. Fripp, et dB. T. Niernson, Esqrs. had an interview yes. terdsy mention with the Right Labouchere, at the office of the Board of Trade, for the purpose of °resenting a memorial, praying them to withdraw their proposed inter ference with the Art-Union of London, which hae for its selectieu. ob ject the depriving of t h oer iseholders of the right of Irbt lßtanut. FRENCH PtAss.—Ravel, Sainville, and Oruswat made their exeunt last night, amidst a sho eer of plaudits, after a series of appearances which would justify the manage ment in prolonging their engagements. The whole of the pi e ces which were performed on the °cession were new to the t. James' boardswhich excited mosirth sp peerßed to be s the vaudeville styled " L'lnventetmur de la Foliate," which must not be understood as meaning gun powder, but that snore innocent invention formerly in vogue as a mo'e of concealing the tint of the hair. Ravel repre sented a barber ( Formoso) who is supposed to have become the depositm y of a precious secret for dying red hair black, and the mistress of the Prince Piombino being gifted with sandy locks, the co lour of which she has hitherto successfully concealed from her lover, finds her stock of dye ex hausted and ber hair on the point of exhibiting its original tint. She hears of the secret possessed by Forninso, and has him suddenly snatched from his shop whilst shaving a hunchback, and conveyed to the rayed palace, where the barber's vanity induces him to suppose an intrigue of a high order awaits him. The Prince by some mesas to imagine that the barber is an accom plished swordsman, hose weapon is at his service to rid him of his foes. and under these equivocal auspices portiere finds Maul( installed at court. The Duchess, on his arrival, sends him a lock of her hair as a pattern, by which he is to concoct his dye, and the barber, not to be wanting in gallantry, returns by the messenger a lock of his own hair. This supposed infidelity of the Duchess is made known to the Prince, who resolves to rid himself of his unsuspected rival by means of Formoso's skill, ,a he summonses the barber to his presence, when he orders hint to produce his weapon, which is exhibited in the form a razor. A laugh able equivoque ensues, which ends by the Prince considering his new ally to be a wag of the first order, who despatches his victims in the very original way of cutting their throats whilst shaving them. On the other hand, the Duchess, whose hair becomes redder and redder every hour, at last brings matters to a crisis by insisting on Formosa's producing his dye, but the paper oa which the secret was written his been used by him as a razor wiper, and, consequently, all is lost. powdering her head, no as to make it resemble in tint the grey head of her royal lover, end this sacrifice on her part produces a re conciliation, and ends in securing the post of court barber to the ingenious man who has invented powder. It is utterly impossible to rile any idea of the extr ,vagancies and humourous sallies cf Ravel and Sainville whilst they were performing the roles of the .Prince and the barber. They kept the house in a roar of laughter during the whole per formanc?, which wee 60 admirable as to create a strong desire to have it repeated on a future evening. A sec - ond new piece, styled "lin Jenne Ilomme Freese," served to introduce M. Alcide Tousez,to the St. James's audience. A tarantelle was danced by Carlotta Grisi and Perrot ; the danseuse unfortunately slipp d and fell during the first few steps, but she recovered herself without having sustained any injury, and amidst the encouraging applause of the house, executed her task in her usual elegant and graceful manner. The present performance was for the benefit of Mr. Mitchell, the lessee. On Friday there will be a brilliant combination of comic talent, as Levasser, M. Tousez, and Mdlle. Scrivaneck appear together in one or more pieces. LTCEI.II.—" Poor Pidhcoddy" is another added to the list of novelties tree:oy produced at this theatre. The idea of the piece, without being very now, is worked out with sufficient freshness and bki:l to gain unequivocal suc cess. The point of the story turns on the perplexity of a Mr. Pil::coittly, a gentleman of floricultural pursuits, and whose happiness consists in the posseesioa of a young and handsome wife. This lady had been formerly a widow, her husband having been lost at sea. His death however was not sufficiently certain to present the second husband from entertaining fears of his eventually turning up. A series of circumstance: arise which confitao these fiai s. Mrs. Pillicoddy has a female cousin, who leaves her husband on his return from a long voyage on a point of jealousy. The husband pursues her to Pilliccddy's house, where she is concealed without that gentleman's knowledge ; and on the husbands meeting an equivoque ensues, which may be easily imagined when we state that the gentleman in search of the one wife bears the 32666 name as the departed souse of the other. It is almost needless to eay that everything is satisfactorily explained in the end. Menge° as these materials may seem, they gave rise to some amusing situa tions, which lost nothing of their breadth of effect in the bands of Mr. Buekstone and Mr. H. Hall—the former as Pillicoddy, and the latter as one of those comic exaggera tions of seafaring life soli, quently seen on the stage, and only there. The remainder of the characters were filed by Miss Howard, Miss Lee, and Miss Marshall. The last named lady displayed an cbilitv not always found among the representa tives of waiting-maids. The piece is wti tea by Mr. Morton. 01.YMPIC.—'Phis house, under new—and it may be hoped succcs•ful—management, re-opened last night for a " summer's season," with a company composed of many es tabliehed favourites. Mr. Wigan, Mr. F. Vining, Mr. A. Young', Cowell. H. Cohper, &c., appeared ; and Mr. Comp ton, and Mrs Brougham Mrs. Leigh Murray, wet Mrs. Wigan are announced. dr. Leigh Murray is the stage ma nager. Mrs. Gilbert, of the American stage, made her first appearance, as did a Miss St. George, who plays with consi derable vivacity. It is intended to perform light and amus ing pieces after the old plan of this house ; and the prices team moderate, the house comfortable, the attendants civil, and the company fully equal to the average, it may be hoped that an effort of this sort will be attended with success, espe cially if dramatic writers of Established reputation are CLERICAL FOR THE RESTORATION OF ST.

T.S.C. (17 subs.) THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1848. of gran importancejind as the circumstances connected with it were of an unusual character, it would bs necessary for them to give him their most particular attention. Whenever a party died intestate and without any relation', the crow n was entitled to the whole a his property. It appeared that on the 30th of January, 1842, a pinion passing under the name and known as John Turner died at his house, No. 13, Huntley street, Branawicksquare, being about eighty years of age. Upon his death the crown babreing the deceased to be without relatives, bad taken pea -1 session of the whole of his property, to the value of upwards of 60,0001. Before Mr. Turner's deaths commission of lunacy had been issued in 1841 to inquire into his state of mind, and upon that investigation he was found to be lunatic, in which ' condition he died. After administration had been granted to the defendant several circumstances came to the know ledge of some poor individuals resident at Suffolk, which is- duced them to believe that John Turner the deceased was the same person as their relation Theophilus Turner, who i many years before had left his native village in Suffolk. The I claimants in the present ease then filed a bill in Chancery I ag ainst Mr. Mule, stating that they were the sees of kin, and therefor* entitled to the whole of his personal estate. Mr. Mauls, in his answer to that bill I on the part of the crown, declared that he did not know who Mr. John Turner was, or who wore his father and mother, or whether he had any relations. Mr. Maule further stated that Mr. Turner died without next of kin. The matter wee subsequently referred for investigation to Sir George Rose, one of the masters in Chancery, and the result of that in quiry was, that such a body of evidence was adduced on be half of the claimants that there could be no doubt of their relationship to the dammed. It would perhaps be said, on the part of the crown, that the whole of this story was founded in fraud, and was, in fact, nothing but a conspiracy to be supported by perjury. If this were true, let it be ex posed and detected ; but he (Sir F. Thesiger) could not be , hive that 30 or 40 witnesses, a great reanyof them occupying ' • superior position is society, could be joined in a coupe racy. The point which it would be necessary to establish was, that Mr. John Turner, deceased, wee the same person Ise Theophilus Turner, the relation of the plaintiffs ; and, lin order to do as, he must call the attention of the levy to the history of the Suffolk family. Is the year 1744 there resided at Livermere, m Suffolk, • man of the name of John Turner, a gardener, who in that year made his wall, and left a legacy to John Turner, and 101. in trust to the clergyman of the parish for a son of his named Theophilus, who was then away from home; and In cue he should be dead, or should not return home within ten years, then it was to be paid to Ann, the daughter of Diana, the testator's sister. That will showed that old John Turner had a son called Theophilus, who, however, was not the party as to whom the present inquiry was instituted. la 1766 John Turner, the son of old John Turner, who made the will in 1744, married Elizabeth Milder at Livermore, and had a numerous family, and lived at various places in Suffolk. They had three children at Livermore, and then they removed to Bidwell Ash about three mil es off, and there in 1763 Theophilus, who had amassed te property in question, was born, and whom he (Sir F. 'D in rain testate er) ' should show was the same person (Si r the John Turner, of liuntley-street. The baptismal register of Theophilus was dated Jan. 14, 1763. The family then re turned to Livermere, where a daughter, Sarah, was born, On the 26th of December, 1764. The family subsequently ne moved to Fornhara St. Martin's, where an other aon, George ' Milder Turner, ono of the plain ti ffs , was born. John Turner , the father, b ecame the gardener to the Rev. Dr. Ord, at Farnham St. Martin's. Theophilus was found to be a boy dooms intelligence and quicknem and his father sent him le Niue' at a Mr. Plum's, and su bsequently , , by the kind as signee of Dr. Ord, he was sent to what might be called a deolleal school at Bury St. Edmund's. At first Theophilus Turner was i n tended for the sea, and Dr. Ord was fa the habit of calling him " His boy Jack, and Jack th e sailor boy ;" having stolen some plums out of the doctor's orchard he was obliged to leave his native place. Dr. Ord, however, did not desert him, but I obtained a situation for him SI a teacher in a school near London. At this time the curtain dropped upon Theopbilus Turner, and the same person as he (Sir F. Thesiger) should prove appeared again under the name of "John.' From the time of the intestate's leaving Suffolk he had held no communication with his relatives in the country. The de ceased Mr. Turner was first heard of under the name of "John," as • clerk in the Ordnance department of the Tower, which appointment he bad obtained through the influence of Sir Charles Frederick, who at that time was the surveyor-general of the Ordnance. This fact was shown by a copy of • letter from Sir Charles Frederick to the Hon. Mr. Pelham. This letter was fund entered in a book be longing to the deceased Mr. Turner. There was one passage in that beter in which the writer stated that he bad persuaded Mr. Turner to relinquish a lucrative proles , ion, and it would be contended that such a remark could not apply, to a person in the situation of Theophilus Turner. The intestate remained in the Ord nance-office until 1787, when he became a clerk in the Sun Fire-office, and in 1806 he wee made chief clerk at the branch office at Craig's-court, Charing-cross. In the year 1824 he retired on a pension of 2001. per annum. During the time Mr. Turner was in the Sun Fire-office be obtained a share of a prize in a 1 trey, which was the groundwork of his fortune, and which afterwards increased to 60,4001. , From 1807 to the year 1824 Mr. Turner lived with a Mrs.' De Russiere, at 120, Great Russell-street, and from 1824 until he died he resided at 13, Huntley-street, Brunswick square. The intestate was a person of remarkable appear. once,ru"bein g about five feet six inches in height, and pa ' ler with his hair, which be wore powdered. Iterae muead wi th the small-pox, and one of his eyebrows was injured. Now it was a remarkable fact that Theophilus had burnt his eyebrow, when young, with gunpowder. Mr. Turner, also, wore tight pantaloons, fastening at the ankle, and had a peculiar manner of shrug ging his shoulders. lie was in th habit of visiting a gen tleman of the name of Fitzgerald, e in Portland-place, and Ong down twice a year to that gentleman's estate, in Suf folk, to shoot. Mr. Fitzgerald also sent the intestate game up from the country, and the latter was in the habit of going to the White Horse, in Fetter-lane, and the White Swan, in fikinneratreet, to fetch the parcels. When in society above himself Mr. Turner was reserved as to his family and origin ; but when in other company he spoke often of his relations. If Mr. " John " Turner was " Theophilus," he left Suffolk nearly 70 years ago; and he should prove that " John " Turner, who died in 1842, was Theophilus, the son of the gardener to Dr. Ord. Supposing Mr. Turner to be Theophilus, he went to school at Bury, and it would be shown that be was sent to school with the Rev. Mr. White. If Mr. Turner was Theophilus he must have been • teacher at a scho..l near London, and he should prove that fact. If he was Theo philus he had a sister celled Sarah, and it would he shown that the intestate often spoke of a sister of that name. Be sides this, it would be proved that Mr. Turner had been bantered in London by Mr. Fitzgerald as to his origin, and that the latter rson had said to him, " You know your name is not John, pe but Theophilus." It wou ld further be shown that there was a Mrs Jones, who lived in Bell alley, Coleman-street, whom Mr. Turner was in tne habit of vith,- ing, and once when he was taking luncheon there she ads dreamed him as " The" and " Theo." It was much to be regretted that Mr. Haute had destroyed the books of tho in testate ; but it would be proved by a Mrs. Bower, daughter of Mrs. De Runiire, with whom Mr. Turner lodged for seventeen years, that she had seen book& on his table with "Theophilus" written in them. These facts he I (Sir F. Thcsiger) thought would be sufficient to prove the case of the plaintiffs ; but he had stronger facts behind. It would further be shown that there resided in the Tower a Mrs. Fairweather, the wife of the messenger or storekeeper. She was the daughter of a Wm. Turner, one of the sons et old John Turner, and first cousin to Theophilus; and it would be stated by several witnesses that the in:estate made Mrs. Fairweather an allowance, and that he called her I cousin Amy or Amelia, and she called him cousin " The," I or cousin " Theophilus," and sometimes cousin John. The deceased had always desired Isles Fairweather, on pain of having her allowance withdrawn, never to inform his rela tions where he was, turd Mrs. Fairweather had green orders to her daughters not to speak of 51r. Turner to his Tetanus.. There was new a moat remarkable circumstance to which be I NW about to call the attention of the jury, and which most clearl connected Mr. Turner with the Suffolk family. It appeared that a Thomas Turner Dersley a eon o f Is abella , ' time sister of Mr. Theophilus Turner, had been for some in the early part of his life a pot-boy, and atter wards he went into Leicestershire, and entered the service of a Mr. Rsdley, a veterinary surgeon. Thomas T. Derides. subsequently set up in business himself as a horse doctor, and a gentleman of the name of Hollyer having had a oouple of horses stolen, Denies', in company with a person of the name of Pitt, was sent up to London to endeavour to regain the lost property and discover the thieves. Soon after their arrival in London, and when at the White Swan, near Smith field, they found one of the horses and one of the thieves, whom they caused to be token to Giltspuratreet Compter. The following evening T. T. Derslry and Pitt had been dining at the White Swan, when the deceased, Mr. Turner, came in and asked for a parcel. At this time T. T. Derslev way amusing himself by sparring before the glen, which caused some conversation to ensue between him and the deceased. Dersley Raid he came from near Bury St. Edmunds, upon which Mr. Turner inquired whether he knew Jobe Turner, the gardener to Dr. Ord. To this Dersley answered " I should think 1 do—he was my grandfather." Mr. Tur ner then became much excited, walked about the room, and inquired about Dersley's uncles and aunts; put some ques tions about a missing uncle, and finally acknowledged him self to be Denley's uncle. This took plate in the pre tence of Pitt and Hatfield, a police officer, who, although they did not hear the whole conversation, would state that Mr. Turner declared himself to be Dersley's uncle. Mr. Turner, on leaving, said he would call main on the following day, which he did, and he then gave Dersley 7s. 6d. to treat has friends with. Mr. Turner then took his nephew to the Sun Fire Office in Craig's Court, and told him that his address was in Huntley-street. His nephew I gamma called in Huntley-street, but the old gentleman VW WA at home, and he did not express any surprise at his aapkmw's calling. Subsequently, however, Mr. Turner wished to get rid of hie nephew, and he, therefore, got • per son of the name of Wright to tell Denley that he had better go about his business. It appeared that Dersley told his mother he had seen his uncle, but concealed his place of re sidence, in the hope that he might be benefited by so doing. In 183'2 Dersley was arrested and taken to St. Alban's on a c harge of horse - stealing, and when before the magistrates he referred to his uncle in Lon don, as to who and what be was. A police officer of the name of Lacy was then sent by the magistrates to London to ass Mr. Turner, in Huntley-street, and he did so. At that interview the intestate admitted T. T. Dinky to be his nephew, but refused to interpose on his behalf, observing that as he had made his bed BO he might lie. The prisoner was subsequently discharged by the =e pithets'. Ides. Fairweather died in 1832 and her husband In 1837, and Mrs. Ders.ey, who had been for a considerable time endeavouring to find out her lost brother, in 1841 be came aware that he was a lunatic and reside din Huntley street. She obtained this information through the Weekly JUDGES' CHAMBERS.Justice PA SERJ ttS EANTS' INN. Before Mr. 011. THE QEEEN ON THE PROSECUTION UP THE DUKE OF But SISWICK O. BARNARD GREGORY.—PowaR OE A JtilaCilt AT CHAMBERS TO AMEND • SENTENCE AND RECORD OP THE 1t1.6 Cot:um—An application had been made to the sitting judge of this court on the part of the prosecution, and a summons granted calling upon the defendant to show cause why the rule of sentence and the record or judgment roll herein should not be amended according to the iud,•e's notes of the lenience. The indictment is one of a sews of indictments preferred by the Duke of Brunswick agairst the defendant, and was tried in the Court of Queen's Bench at Westminster hall, before Ur. Justice Wightman, and upon which the defendant was found guilty, and after a length ened argument before the full court in Trinity Term 1845, he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. A writ of furor was afterwards issued and allowed, and the defendant as to this indictment discharged out of custody, having undergone two months' incarceration upon the sentence The writ of error has several times been before the judges of the courts of common pleas and exchequer,sitting in error in the exchequer chamber, and the whole of the arguments of counsel having lately been heard the court took time to consider their judgment. It was now sought to amend the sentence and record, by inserting a judgment and sentence on each count contained in the indictment acpaiately, instead of the judgment and sentence being, as it at present stands, urn the indictment gene appeared Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, now to show cause agsinst the application, and con tended it would be a gross injustice to the defendant, after the case had been tufty argued before the Court of Error, to amend the record which was before that court, and without going into the ease he at once submitted that a learned judge sitting at chambers had no power to emend the record and judgment of the court at Westminster.—Mr. Warnford's clerk, who appeared for the Duke of Brunswick, was about to reply, but was stopped by the learned judge.—Mr. Justice Patteson said it was quite clear he had no power to order the amendments required. The sentence and the record were the act of the full court, and be could not disturb it. He should, therefore, at once dismiss the summons.—Summons '.miseed accordingly. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Is BANCO.—Before Lord Denman, Chid Justice, and Mr. Justice Pattesco. REGINA T. THE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. —Lord Denman delivered the judgment in this case, which was a mandamus to issue a precept for summoning a jury to amen compensajon for a starch manufactory and premises, and for damage thereby done, which premises the defendants had given notice to take oa the 14th of May, 1646, and had given notice of their demanding to purchase a part, but the prosecutors had given the defendants notice that he required them to take the whole. The return stated that the undertaking was highly beneficial to the public, and that the whole would cost half a million of money or more ; that the prosecutors held under a lease, which would expire on the 24th of June, 1847, and that the prosecutors at the time of the notice bad no greater estate that that of a tenancy from year to year, and that part oil the premises were in a dilapidated eondition, and not neces sary for carrying on the manufactory. The return also stated that on the 14th of May, 1848, the defendants gave notice of their purchasing the property under the following description : " So much of the ground, stable, coach-house, !eatery, and shed as are coloured red in the plan annexed." But it appeared the prosecutors preferred their claim not for that part, but for the whole within the bounds r y line, and re quired 8,0001. for the purchase-money, and 34,0001. for the damage, otherwise that • jury should be summoned under the Lands Clauses' Consolidation Act to mese what amouatof compensation they were entitled to; thereupon the defend ants abandoned their intention of purchasing, not saving how or when, or that they gave the prosecutors notice of the abandonment; the prosecutors remained in peaceable po-- session for the remainder of their term, whereoy the defend ants contended the court ought not to Issue the warrant. To the averment that the prosecutors had no greater interest than that of a tenancy from year to year, they pleaded a general denial in the same terms, and put themselves upon the country, and to the rest of the return they lemurred for several causes; first, that the deecription given by the ere secutors was an argumentative traverse of it being all one manufactr ry, and, sect ndly, that since the objections above mentioned the allegation had been abandoned' the prose cutors joined in eemurrer, and in their turn demurred to the p'ea as noising an immaterial issue. The writ was also objected to as bad because it claimed an assess ment for the value of the entire premises, when the company required a part only; such a claim not being sup ported by the Lands Clauses' Consolidation Act, the compul sory powers of which (sections 18 and 92) were confined to the property described in the claim. The court thought the demand of the prosecutors could not be sustained ; that the writ could sot go for part (as had been contended by had the prosecutors' counsel as a last resort), for that no claim been made for part, and that therefore the judgment must be fof the defendants. REOINA O. COMMISSIONERS OP WOODS D FORESTS.— Lord Denman, in delivering the judgment V A N e court in this case, said, this was a rule for a =endows" to issue a warrant for assessing compensation under the 9 & 10 Vic.. rt. 38, for land which the Commissioners of Woods and Forests had glean notice to take towards forming the Victoria Park; cause was shown against the writ, the learned counsel con tending that the writ would not lie, because it would be directly addressed to her Majesty, and therefore could not be enforced. The court thought this objection not to be good, for the Commissioners of Woods and Forests were public officers invested with public duties which might affect the rights of other persons, and that this was the proper means of enforcing. The objection that the commissioners had done no more than serve the party with notice of their in tention to take the land, the court thought untenable ; for the notice which prevented the party doing what he thought proper with has own property, was equivalent to an actual taking, and entitled him to:compensation. The rule, therefore, would be made absolute. LORD EGREMONT V. LANODON.—The court in this case directed a nonsuit. The court also gave judgment in a great number of poor law cases, upholding the doctrine laid down in the case of " Regina v. Molesworth" relative to the removal of paupers.

The deceased died on the 30th o f Jacuary, 1842, intestate sad inane, and on the 20th el November, 1843, letters of administration of his pftlieleal estate had been granted to lie. Mauls on behalf of the crow& The plaintiffs claimed to be the next of kin of the interstate, living at the time of his decease, and this was an issue diree I by Vme-Ch anee llor Knight Brace, to try these two questions affirmed by the plaintiffs, and denied on the part of tlae crown —viz., Ist. Whether John Turner,to whom the defendanthad administered, was the son of John and Elizabeth Turner his wife, :formerly of the parishes of Livermore Magna, and Farnham St. Martin's, Suffolk, or ens of those parishes ; and 2ndly, whether the said John Turner was the person baptised under the name of Theophilus Turner on the 14th of January, 1763, at Bidwell Ash, in Suffolk.

LACKERSTEEN AND CKAILE'S BANIKRUPTCY.--CERTaI CATE.—This was the day appointed by adjournment for the application for the certificates, the adjournment having taken place at the instance of creditors who wished for a further investigation, and a private meeting having been held in the mentima—hl r. Roy having intimed that the creditors were now satisfied the certificates were granted without op. poeition. Before Mr. Commissioner GOUlburtl. RECKLESS THADING.—His honour gave judgment this morning in the case of Chaplin and Chaplin, the particulars of which appeared in the Express of Monday last. Re considered that the charges of reckless trading{, excessive ex penditure, and accepting accommodation hills, were full yy substantiated. Though t he bankrupts had begun i capital of near 6,0001. the result of their trading had been most disastrous to the creditors, their debts and liabilities I being above 41,0001., and the dividend would not exceed ad. in the pound. As the law stood, in nine eases out of tea where there were no assets it was owing to the misconduct of the trader, who had the opportunity, as soon as he found himself in tailing circumstances, of coming to the court and surrendering what he had for equal distribution among his creditors ; but if he persisted is going forward, resorting to every shift to raise money, till he had nothing left, there was no wonder if the credit rs complained. In this case, the bankrupts had only made a profit of 4241., while their ex. perses bad been twelve times as much. It seemed they had expected to make a fortune by a patent; but during its ex istence they took out is second, thus rendering • large stock of leather made under the first useless. They had clearly gone on renewing acceptances with Pinder long after they must have known that they were in a state of hopeless insolvency. To mark the court s disapprobation of their conduct, the certificates must be suspended for 12 months from the date of the last examination. POLICE. — YEMRDAY. WEST M INSTER. Roraima. Ann Tapson, An. Pickett*, end John Kent, were charged with robbery.—On Tuesday night, Mr. John Archer, of Lower Sloane-street, was returning home, and ha I arrived within a few yards of his own residence, when the female prisoners accosted him. Be told them to go about their business; instead of which one laid hold of him by the right, the other the left arm, and Picketta immediately made a snatch at his gold seal and chain, but the latter breaking prevented her obtaining possession of his watch. She then knocked his him hat o ff, and on his stooping to pick it up gave two severe blows on the head, in doing which h er shawl dropped off. The male prisoner was in company of the women the whole of the time, and on the prosecutor attempting to secure Pickett he stepped between them and prevented his doing so, at the same time taking care of Pickett'* shawl. The parties then ran off in different directions. Tapsoa was secured immediately afterwards; the other two were subsequently apprehended. It was proved that the male prisoner had been before convicted of felony.—Mr. Broderip remanded them till Monday. TUAMES.—CUSIOUS CASE.—C. Graham surrendered to his bail, to answer a charge under the Bth and 9th of Geo. IV. (the Games and Wagers Act) of obtaining money under false pretence*. The particulars of the first examination appeared in the Express of Saturday. It, will be re membered that the prosecutor, Mr. Jenkins, proprietor of the Royal Duke public home, Commercial-road East, gave evidence to the effect that the prisoner, whom he did not . know before, accompanie t w ice pereon named whom he had teen only once or, came to his bar on Friday evening; that he asked them to his private apartment, where the y were shortly afar joined by a retired licensed victualler, aime d Ilarborne, who was known to* the prosecutor , an d who, on cards being proposed, went out and brought in a that the prosecutor was induced to bet 201. to 81. pa ckon ono of the games, but seeing something which led him to suspect foul play was intended he was about to resume his stake, but was held back by Rarborne and whilst the prisoner snatched up the money that on the neat day five sovereigns were picked up on the door of the apartment where they had been playing, together the market, as commonly supposed, inasmu c h that wow end Rub... etrl .1 hnoremirbortzedrei: , ilow. they would net issue from the United States C We, in which a report of the proceedings in lunacy with two flesh totes, purporting to be for 51. each, and that the government of the United States, are not ye t e, until the Ist inst., and therefore cannot be hers t ar it eared, and which was sent to her by her daughter, Mrs. the cards with which they played were of a peculiar cos- Mitchell.

The directors state thst, in these circumstances they have no option but to make another call of If. per share, payable on ail shares on which H. per share shall have been paid, this call to be payable on the lath ot August; but if any shareholder should be desirous of paying It by instalments, it will be received in four equal payments of Ss. per share, on 15th August, 15th Novemter, 1048, and 13th February and lath May, 1849, with interest on the three last payments at the rate of fire per cent.

The third of the qua teriy meetings of the ironmaatees of South Staffordshire and •Shropshire, for the current year, was held here today ; the attend gam was not so numerous m usual, and comparatively only a small amount of business was doing ; oo far, however. as could he ascertained, the trade is already partially recovering from the depression which has hung over it during the last two months. The orders for manufactured iron are Mealy, and various =turn. manes would lead to the supposition that in the absence of the most untoward occurrences iron will no' be lower fur some time to muss Manic teat present. There are consident Me orders in some of the boogie for rails for America; these will help to sustain present quutatior4 especially in view of the fact that the dealers in London have emreely a ton of iron in stock. That the general Mate of is trade is far worse than it was at the corresponding pet iod of last year cannot be denied; at the same time, notwitlmtanding that KIM am lower, it is, perhaps, upon the whole, in a more healthy condition thin It was immediately alter the panic set in last October. The present prices are—bars, hi. los.; houpe, U.; and sheets, 01.: these being understood as referring only to the beet Material. As a proof that the ironmastera themselves have ronddenoe enough that prices will nut further recede, 1 may cite • fact, on the authority of one of the largest and most respectable makers in the district, that an order for so large a quantity as 1,1.00 tuns was refused a day or two since at the current price, on the consideration of theme livery being extended over a period of nine months. For pigs tfigures may be quoted 3/. to U. 10s.; for these the prioe will prooably be maintained. Stocks are now not large, and. I was informed today an ceder was accepted for 300 tons at 2s. ild better than would ham been given • fortnight since. The foregoing in all probability presents as saturate • sketch of the actual date t.t the trade mean le presented. Opioloild are generally tolerably diversified amongst Mum engaged In this trade, but as theee facts are gleaned front the heads of UN Lagoa boums they will mod likely be found to be correct, and io to to le or relied upon in preference to those circulars which By about, imunif the most part by interested parties, and vegetating but an imperfect reflex tai the condition of the trade.

CHADNICK.—CIINDITORS' BILL NOT MAIN TAINABLE AGAINST A DEBTOR WHO IS ADJUDGED AN I NSO LVENT.—The Lord Chancellor, on taking his seawu t, proceeded to give judg ment in this ease, which argued in the end of the year 1846, his lord ship first observing that it had q uite escaped his memory until lately reminded of it. The bill was tiled by the plaintiff on his own behalf and on behalf of all the other creditors of a defendant who was adjudged an in solvent debtor. The bill did not allege the insolvency of the party, nor put it in issue. A demurrer was filed by the defendant, Poisons, a purchaser or incumbrancer on the insolvent's property, fcr want of equity, for multifatiousneu, an d tor- want of parties. It appeared that there was • meeting of the creditors of the debtor before the billhe bill was filed, and they resolved not to institute any suit. T was therefore filed on behalf of creditors, not only without their authority but against their will. The principal question, however, was whether a creditor can maintain such a bill in those circumstances. The acts relating to in so l v ent debtors negatived such a supposition, for it was clear that, if any creditor could institute such a suit, the general creditors would suffer as being deprived of the advantage of a general distribution of the insolvers,'s estate under the more suitable jurisdic of the Insolvent Debtors' Court. It was not necessary t o into any argument in the matter, as there were many dectsicns ehowing that such a suit could not be sustained. His lordship then mentioned, among other cases, " Yewens v. Robinson" (11 Simon-, 105), " Hammond v. Attwood" (3 Haddock, 158), " Kaye r. Fos broke" (8 Simone, 28), " Major tr. Auckland" (3 Hue, 77), " Bonfield r. Solomon." (9 ea. 77), and said the demurrer, for want of equi7, was properly allowed ; it was not nary to to give any opinion on the multifisriousness or want of Fa./.91- WOODS r. WOODS. ENROLMENT OE A DECREE T • GATED.—His lord-hip gave judgment in this case also, which was • motion made before him in April, 1847, to vacate the enrolment of a decree made by Vice-Chancellor Wigram on the 25th of November, 1846, dismissing the plaintiff's bill, and also to discharge an order made on the 17th of March, 1847, for the enrolment of the said decree none pso tune. It appeared that on the day in which the decree was pronounced the plaintiff's solicitor entered a caveat against the enrolment of it. The decree was pre sented for enrolment on the 16th of February, 1847, and on i the 17th of March then following, when the 28 days allowed for the caveat would expire ; the plaintifFs solicitor, meeting the solicitor of the defendants in the Master's office, on the taxation of costs, informed him that • petition of appall against the decree was *resent ed to the Lord Chancellor, and the deposit money would be lodged that day. The soli citor for the defendants, not regarding whet was so stated to him, obtained, on the 17th, an order none pro tune for the the enrolment. The decree was accordingly enrolled on 18th of March, and the defendants, on the 19th, refused to accept notice of the petition of rehearing.—His lordship, after observing that this case, like the former, had escaped hi s recollection, until he had been reminded ud he had not disposed of it, and, &tier going through the eaten and circum stances as above, ordered the enrolment to be vacated for irr:gularity. ATTORNEY-GENERAL T. MCNRO AND OTHERS.—SCOTCH KISH IN MANCHESTEIL—These appeals from a decree of Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce, removing the Rev. Mr. Munro from officiating u minister of the Scotch kirk in Manchester, on the ground of his having adopted the doc trines and opinions of the free.church patty, and also re moving on the same grounds some of the trustees, have been argued for several days by Mr. Bothell, Mr. J. Russell, and Mr. Little supporting the decree, and by hlr. Holt, Mr. Cowling, and Mr. Selwyn for de minister and trustees in support of their appeal. At the conclusion of the arguments the Lord Chancellor postponed his judgment. MONEY MARKET. WEDNESOLT EVENING. Business was more active in.tieKW& to-day, prin cipally with reference to the making up for the ac count of the 14th, but also in no small proportion refer able to purchases on account of the recipients of divi dends. Consols were bought as high as 873, both for money and the opening, but some short time previous to the regular close of business sales to the extent of 200,0001. by a broker or jobber on speculative account, reduced the quotations to 87; to 1, at which they left off for money and the opening. These sales, singularly enough, were made by a party who, having first been a specu lator on his own, or on the account of others, to a much larger amount for the fall, and therefore was caught by the rise, not only bought on his account at a considerable difference of loss, but forthwith pro ceeded to operate in the opposite direction. The result would seem to show, to the credit of his saga city, that he has been more fortunate in his latter than his former specula , ion, and so far the adverse balance should be redressed. Reduced Threes, 87; to t. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 87 to Long Annuities, 8 13-16 to Exchequer Bills, 41s. to 445. premium. India Bonds, 245. to 265. premium. Bank Stock, 192 to 4. Foreign securities were with little difference in prices, and dealings inactive. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were called 44 to 6; the Fours, 69 to 71. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 66 to 70. Russian advanced to 97 to 9. Danish. 66 to 70. Spanish were rather lower at 11 t to 12, for the Fives ; 215 to 2, for the Threes ; and 21 to 31 for Plosive. Portu guese, 17 to 18. Mexican were 161 to 171. Peru - clan, 33 to 5. Brazilian, 67 to 9. New Granada, 12 to 13. Venezuela, 15 to 18. The American papers last received state, very loosely, that the greater part of the government loan contracted there would " go forward" to Europe, where sure to be taken at a premium, and be drawn against. That some, or a great part, of the loan may find its way to Europe, primarily or eventually, is sufficiently probable, seeing that the returns of inte rest, upon an undoubted security, are so ample, as compared with the rates of money and the funds here. But it is quite a fallacy to suppose that American government stocks will come here on say such system of business. No respectable merchant, and we speak of American merchants of high standing, would receive consign ments of stock values on any such principle of busi ness. Stocks would not be admitted to be drawn apinst. That false system came to an end some eight or ten years ago, and is no longer recognised. It may properly be mentioned now also that the bonds, or iwrip, of the loan recently contracted by _ 1 I' PP
