SCOTT v. FERRIS.-1311.1. STEM-MO.—The scion was in the nature of an issue from the Court of Chancery, to try whether a warrant of attorney bad been obtained erfraud, tl and it arose out of IAI-stealing transactions. ti Mr. Cockb Q.C., stated the /We at great length. The plaintiff, Mr. uro, Scott, was an officer, holding the rank of lieu. IA teraut in a cavalry regiment stationed a' Norwich, and the 1 defendant, Mr. W. T. Ferree, resided at Westminster, and the action arose out of one of those transactions which had un- F happily too often come before courts of justice, f.nd svhieb were known as bill-stealing transactions. The LI bills which would come into q uestion in the course ,' of the inquiry were two bills of exchan g e for 5001. terti, drawn ' by a Mr. Moreton, and accepted by Mr. Scott, and in respect of these it was that the warrant of attorney was given. The Lids in question were obtained from Mr. Scott by a most outrageous fraud on the part of Mr. Moreton, and in order to entitlo himself to a verdict he (Mr. Cockburn) should have to c emcee Mr. Moreton with the defendant, Mr. Ferris, which he believed he should have no difficulty I. doing, for they had fortunately obtained a clue to the a hole, and should be mania to sbow that it was a most glaring bill-stealimg t r ansaction in which all the parties were engaged. The jury were doubtless aware that there existed in the metropolis organised gangs of persons who procured their euesistence by that peculiar mode of swindling, and who obtained from gen • tlemen bilk under pretence of discounting them, and which bills, without ever paying one shilling for them, they appro priated to their own dishonest purposes, and compelled the acceptors to pay large sums of money. In the hegiuning of the present year Mr. Scott's regiment was stationed at Norwich. lie know nothing whatever et Mr. Moreton till the month of March, when he received a letter dated on the 24th from Hatchett's Hotel, Piccadilly, in which the writer, I who signed himself " William Moreton" stated that he had confidentially heard that Mr. Scott was desirous of getting his acceptance dew:tinted, and he should be happy if such 3 was the cue to accommodate him. Mr. Scott did not re p‘y to the letter, upon which Mr. Moreton came down to Nor wich and saw him, and some arrangement was made be- tween them, which could be gathered from a Become letter, deed from the Portland Hotel, Great Portland-street, in whi.h the writer stated the he had consulted his friend, who was willing to advance 1,0001. on Mr. Scott's note of hand it six months, with an sgreematt to renew the VOW tj up , n payment of interest. Other letters followed in which ic alr. Moreton attempted to induce Mr. Scott to send up his .! acceptances for the amount to town, and promising to pay the cash into Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s hank, to be transferee'. to Mr. Scott's bankers at Norwich. In one of these letters the writersaid he might as well give his titivate res , .- deny., which was at 40, Margaret street, Cavendish-square. Mr. Scott did not very well like to part with his bills without the money ; but at length, as Mr. Moreton persisted that he e • uld not conveniently come to Norwich, he determined upon sending his servant up with them. The servent went to London, saw Mr. Moreton, d, livered to him the two ac ceptancts for 5001. each, but the jury need scarcely he tele' tea. he returned arain to Norwich without having received a shilling of money. The sewed scene of the drama thi n ccmmenced. Mr. Scott was, of course, anxious übeut his lolls, and wroee again mid again to Mr. Moreton, and, as it was always an object with the acton in transactions of this kind to put off the absolute discovery of the fraud to as long a period as possible, he received letter after letter giving va rious excuses for non-payment, and promising to send it to-morrow. "0, ne'er shall we that morrow are." In one letter the writer stated that he should immediately send the cull, for he had made arringements to do so with a Mr. Robinson, whom he (the learned counsel) supposed meant that character of whose Taw ries they had so often heard—Jack Robinson. (Laughter.) If the attention of the jury had evc r been directed to a trans • action of this kind they would find that as soon as the bills were secured the swindlers net themselves to work to see how they could best manage to get money out of the victim. It did not answer their purpose to go to a court of justice, because, where the gentleman who had parted with his Lila had the moral courage to defend the suit, their rascality and villany would be exposed, and they would be compelled to gt t fresh names, and drive their nefarious trade upon some other principle, and accordingly a Mr. Axon came on the This person of whom Mr. Scott had before known te, on the 24th of May, doubtless prompted by benevolence, stating that it had accldeatally -- that Mr. Scott's bills bad got into by prompt action they might be re .mg his eminence in the matter. followed from the same writer, who Scott that he had been robbed affected to denounce the swindler, adoption of vigorous measures for the Ultimately Mr. Scott went up to Lon ..

In this country they found that in Isle there were 1,1/52 miles of railway In operation ; coin in 1648 they would hate 5,016 miles-including what would be com pleted durreg the year-.hewing that instead of waiting for traffic from an increiee of population, the railways had progressed faster in a far greater degree. Therefore, it was their own elude for getting on In defiance on all mow. , Ic anticipation of the increme of mates.

On the 2sth 1811, u dial 0011 of his peek:hug over there, the report of the directors stated that the general depreesit u which existed in every brunch of trade, cornbinfel with the unfavourable carom, furnimied further grounds for the re duction in the rev in Thus they found that they wcre eubject to the same dant:urine nix or seven yearn ago, but had recovered them selves ethic and obtained a high potation; therefore them was every reason to hope that similar arcumsteneee would again wear away, and that the traffic would accumuLtte in like proportion, and that their wishes woo: be duly met. They bad, in tell, 281,460 passengers on 70 miles of railway ; and in 1818, when they h.d extended their operations over 191 miles they bed been fortunate eneugb to obtain 158,734. And he thought the fact afforded just grounds fur considering their uidertaling thoroughly mould, and that a would prowl in due course. In accounting fur their prevent Keaton, they had to consider the in crease of expenditure coacqueut upon the &ware in the number of etatims from 14, which wee the entire number a few years ego, to 58.

Now a celebrated man -he thought Jeremy Bentham- had said that human happiness was much more en, my spread among human image than was at lint night eupposed. if that wet the case, perhaps the happiness of the Great ihUtern Company lay in not having the Watereo bridge station. Alluding to le4llC of the other extensions and new pro jects of the compuny, he observed with regard to their arrangements with the Exeter lines that he was quite amore that some or the shareholders differed from the majority L with regard to tne policy of those memuren.

FRIDAY EVENING. The stock market was all confidence and animation to-day, on the anticipation that the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer this evening would be much more favourable than some time site* would have been deemed probab:e ; above all, it was currently believed that the Treasury would not be found to require any very large amount of accommo dation from the Bank, and as to recourse upon the general money market, or capitalists, for a loan, it would seem that such a scheme was scarcely in the con templation of government at all. Consols, which opened at 861 to 1 gradually advanced to, and were done at 861. At the close of business a slight reaction left them 861 for money, and 86,i to 1 for account. The transactions during the day were of much more con sideration than has lately been known, and the mar ket closed with a firm appearance. Reduced Threes, were 861 to 4. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 874 to 1. long Annuities, 81 to 15-16. Exchequer Bills, 325. to 355. premium. India Donde, 19. i. to 245. premium. Bank Stock, 196; to 84. India Stock, 238 to 240. The advance in consols gave a stimulus to foreign stocks in the latter part of the day. Spanish and l'ortugueee Bonds were more particularly the objects of speculation. A purchase of 50,0001. Spanish Fives, for which 121 was paid, rendered holders somewhat loth to make a price, on the speculation that special information might be in the possession of parties of some event calculated materially to benefit the stock, such as arrangements for a compromise by which it should be really rendered active and admitted within the pale of dividends. The Fives left off in ad vance at 12 to I ; the Threes, in which also some considerable business was done, were better at 221 to 31. Portuguese were bought up to 201, leaving off 20 to The Portuguese government, it seems, propose to resume the payment of dividends on the converted four per cents., with the deduction of 25 per cent. for property tax. This, wi•la a rebate here of three per cent. for income tax, will discount the dividend by 28 per c nt. The overdue dividends of one year and a half are, it is loosely reported, to be funded in a 5 per cent. stock, or, as another version has it, converted into treasury debentures carrying 6 per cent. interest.
