----- - The BREVET Ire THE ARMY. —lt will be perceived with satisfaction that the anticipations expressed in this paper of Saturday, on the subject of the military Brevet, in honour of the birth-day of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, have been In every respect realised, and that the government have at length granted a boon so long expected. A consi derable pecuniary outlay will, as a matter of course, be con • sequent on the measure, but even a cursory glance at the services of the gallant veterans promoted, will be sufficient to convince the reader that they are entitled, perhaps, to still further consideration at the hands of the State. It is gratifying to observe that the three oldest gene-- rah of the army have received the highest military title in the power of the Sovereign to bestow, even though at far advanced periods of their lives. The appellation in question, it should be added, has for some years been considered merely an honorary one. Of the six who have lately held it, but two ever witnessed an en gagement, viz., the noble hero of a hundred battles, and his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, his companion in arms at Waterloo. -The name which first catches the eye of the reader is that of Sir George Nugent, a gallant veteran, who has reached the advanced age of eighty-nine, and who has been connected with the service of his country for no less than seventy-three years. He was engaged in the first American war from 1777, until its ter mination in 1783. Field Marshal Grosvenor entered the army in 1779. The Marquis of Anglesey's services are well known. Sir George Cockburn is now the senior general in the army, having entered in 1779, and been promoted to the rank in question in 1819. Fourteen Lieut.-Generals have been made Generals, so that the latter list is now a strong one. Sir Colin Heiken, Colonel of the 31st Foot, which suffered so severely in the late war in India ,• Sir F. Adam, and Sir Peregrine Maitland, three old Waterloo veterans, are in the batch promoted. By the further changes, several staff appointments will, according to usage, be come vacant. It will be seen that two of the eminent family of Napier have been promoted. Amongst those advanced from the rank of colonel to that of major-general, are some officers whose names are somewhat familiar to the reader, vie., Sir H. Smith, the hero of Alewal, Sir de Lacy Evans, Sir Joseph Thackwell, and the Hon. Col. Cavendish of the Ist Life Guards, the lieut.-colonelcy of which is now vomit. lab) Intelligente.

He asked that the petition might be allowed to stand for the next day of petitions in lunacy. The Lord Chancellor assented. GOMPERTZ V. GOMPERTZ.—CONSTRUCTION OP A WILL. —This was an appeal from a decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England upoi a clause in the will of Solomon Baron Gomperts. By that will, made in 1796, the testator left the residue of his estate, in certain specified shares, among his five eons and five daughters, and left the sons at liberty to give each of their sisters 4,0001. odd in lieu of her share ; and the testator directed that the interi st of each daughter's share, or sum of money, should be paid to her during her life, and on her death the capital be divided among her children. The testator did not provide expressly for the event of any of his daughters dying without children. In a suit for ad ministering the will a decree was made in 1604, and several orders since that time. Upon the death, very recently, of one of the daughters, the wife of Mr. Lewis Hollender, without children, the next of kin of the testator, at his death, or their representatives, claimed to be entitled to Mrs. Hollander's share of the residue, and the Vice-Chan cellor decreed in their favour. Mr. Walker was now proceeding to support that decree, but the Lord Chancellor soon stopped him, and desired the appellant's counsel to state his objections to it. Mr. James l'arker and Mr. Speed then contended that Mrs. llolleuder and the other daughters of the testator took their shares absolutely, with a direction, only in caseshe bad children, to distribute her share among them In a certain manner. _ . The Lord Chancellor was of ft different opinion, and en tertained no doubt that the daughter took only a life interest in the share of toe residue, and that on her death without issue, the same reverted to the testator's next of kin.—The Vice-Chanc.llor's decree was affirmed. Before tbe of England. KIRI V. THE BROMLEY UNION.—RELIVIREMENT RY A BUILDING CONTRACT THAT ALL DEVIATIONS FROM IT SHOULD RE IN WRITING, HELD TO RE WAIVED HY Ac- QUIESCENCE.—This bill was tiled by Mr. Kirk, a builder, against the Guardians of the Poor of the Bromley Union, in the county of Kent, fur the purpose of compelling the defen slants to pay the plaintiff certain sums of money charged by him for deviations and alterations in carrying out a contract entered into by him for building a workhouse in the Brom ley Union. The bill stated that a contract was entered usto by the plaintiff for building the workhouse fur the sum of 6.6751., and that such contract contained a clause that it should be in the power of the Board of Guardians, or of the architect, (b the authority of the Board of Guardians,) to direct such a lterations to be made in the works during their progress as they might deem expedient which alterations should not vacate, or make void the contract, but should bo perforated by the contractor, and the value.. thereof to be ascertained by an architect , and to be added to the amount of the contract, but no allowance whatever was to be made to the contractor for the extra or ad ditional work, unless the same should have been ordered its writing. The bill then stated that no deviation from the plans and designs o ri g ina ll y proposed, was in any ease made, without the express sanction of Messrs. Savag d e and Foden, the architects employed by the guardians, rin although no writin g . w as actually signed by the constantly visited the building, and were well aware of and sanctioned all the deviations that were made. The plaintiff, on th he completion of the building in February, 1845, delivere due to him d s bill to the defendants for th e sum remaining , under the contract, and for additional work performed upon the building, when the architects refused to certify for the amount, alleging that the work had been done without any written ord.'', authorising the plaintiff to execute them. The bill contained a charge that the plaintiff always con sidered, and was, in fact, induced by the conduct of the defendants, and their acquiescence in the deviations from the original plan of the building, which were from time to time made by the direction of the architects or their clerk of the works, to consider that all such orders were given to him with the cognisance and by the direction of the defendants. That all the deviations for which the plaintiff had charged as additional work, were sanctioned, and approsed, and authorised bv the defendants, and minutes of such approval were entered in the minute book of the proceedings kept in the board room of the guardians, and signed by the chairman present at the meet ings of the guardians. That the defendants, during the whole time that the works were in progress, encouraged the plaintiff to believe, and, in fact, gave him to understand, that all the additional work, which was performed by the plaintiff, was ordered with the knowledge of the defendants, and by their authority, and would be pa id for by them. A d emurrer was put in to this bill by the guardians, on the ground that as no agreement in writing was exec uted, authorising the deviations from the plaintiff's contract, he could not now be entitled to payment of the sums claimed by him. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Hargrave appeared for the demurrer, and Mr. Babel' and Mr. liethenngton in support of the bill. The Vice-Chancellor said the general rule in this court was that a contract which was solemnly made should bind both parties, but it was acknowledged, that notwithstanding any express contract, the conduct which one party pursued and the other acknowledged, might be binding. The mean ing of this contract clearly was that the guardians should not be put to additional exyenses for deviations and alterations, unless the intention was manifested by a written order, but the bill contained statements that the plaintiff had very seldom any communication with the defendants, the clerk of the works always acting in their behalf, and that plaintiff was induced by the conduct of the defendants and their acquiescence in the deviations, to consider that they bad been sanctioned and authorised by the defendants. This fact was admitted by the demurrer, and his Honour was clearly of opinion that there was an equity on the part of the plaintiff to enforce fur his benefit the right which resulted from the course of conduct pursued by the defendants. This was consistent with the rules of equity, and, notwithstanding the contract, the conduct of the defendants had laid them under an obli gation to pay the plaintiff, which this court would enforce. Lama V. COOPER.—SOUTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COll - FILED FOR DISTRIBUTING TILE FUNDS.- The facts of this cue were fully reported in the Daily News of July the 6th, when an injunction was granted against three of the directors in the South Midland Railway Com pany, restraining them from receiving a cum of 65,00 01 ., the funds of the company, on the ground that they had, con trary to the powers contained in their act, entered into an agreement for the amalgamation of their company with the Southampton and Poole Railway Company. The present bill was filed by one of the shareholders against the directors to have a distribution of the funds, and a demurrer was put in on the ground that there could be no distribution without the affairs of the company being wound up and the accounts taken. Mr. Terrell appeared for the demurrer, and Mr. Bethel in support of the bill. The Vice-Chancellor overruled the demurrer. and it is said be also possesses 50W. in the funds : he for merly kept a small shop, and was noted for his penurious habits. KENT. AN INsrswea OF CRUELTY, showing the extent to which perverted passions may lead an ignorant man, was brought before the magistrates at Rochester, on Monday, when William Tuvell was charged with basing poured boiling water, from a saucepan, into the ear of a donkey who had strayed mar his house. lie was fused twenty shillings and coati. OFFENCE AGAINST THE MEUCIIANT BEANGIN'S ACT.— The Anne, a merchant vessel, left the West India Docks on Wednesday laden with a cargo valued at 16,0001. She reTehed the ,gore on Friday morning, when five of the crew Emerton, Moore, Marsh, Baker, and Howard exhibited symptoms of insubordination , and refused to roceed further on the voyage, the latter knocking down the mate, and at tempting to throw him overboard, which he was alone pre vented from doing by the pilot, who came to the ressue. In this dilemma a steam vessel was employed to tow them int,. Sheerness, and a communication having been made to the I Fort-Admiral, Lieut. Tribe, was despatched on board the ' Anne, and Howard was secured on board the guard or a nd h On Saturday the case was investigated before the may magistrates at Rochester, the vessel having come within their jurisdiction, when the defendants acknowledged refusing to Work the vessel, and alleged as their reason for so doing that they had not sufficient accommodation, neither was the lk re a sufficient number of hands for the purpose. Both these e gations were disproved, and the four first-named delinquents wore committed to Maidstone gaol, with hard labour, for 30 days, and Howard, for the assault on the mate, in default of payiug the penalty of 61., for two months to the same Vlatberattp sat Clerical Sties.

PORTSMOUTH. Nov. 10.—The Rose, 18, Com. R. Pelly, which we stated in this paper bad left Vera Crur with freight, on the 14th of September, for Havannah and Eng land, has arrived at Portsmouth this day, having touched at Plymouth. She was commissioned in March, 1843, and has, consequently, been upwards of three years and a half in commission. The Sphynx steam sloop, Com. J. B.

MILITARY. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1846. MONEY certain proceedings taken by him against the prosecutor were calculated to create such a prejudice against him in the minds of commercial men as, at least, to cause a doubt of it. Us also urged that Middlesex was the residence both of the prosecutor and himself ; and as all the witnesses were in that county, it would be more convenient that the venue should be laid there. Sir F. Thesiger, who, with Mr. Bodkin, appeared for the prosecutor, said that if there was likely to be the smallest prejudice created against the defendant by his being tried in the City of London, he would at once have consented to the change of venue, but as he did not so believe, he thought it should not be changed. Mr. Justice Pattcson said that the indictment was in the Central Criminal Court, and the venue was always laid there ; and when it was removed by certiorari the venue was laid in the county where the cause of indictment properly arose, and in this case it was the City of London, where it must continue unless there was some strong reason for laying it elsewhere. Ile saw no grounds in the present instance for supposing that there would not be a fair trial in the City of London.—Mr. Dunn did not say that, but that as the parties and witnesses were all in Mid dlesex, it would be more convenient to try there. Mr. Justice Patteson said that MU no reason, as the tance was so trifling. Be never recollected a case, when perjury was committed in a particular county, the trial was remove because the witnesses were elsewhere. It was not like a civil action. It was against the practice of the court to remove the venue.—Mr. Dunn then applied for a copy of the grand jury panel, and stated that the foreman had signed his name on the bill after the discharge of the jury.— Mr. Justice Patteson said that was not stated in the affi davit, and must be the subject of another motion. T IJESDAY EVENING. The transactions in the funds have not been of any important character today, although the variations in price world seem to indicate that the state of the account was such as to render the speculators on one side rather uneasy. The understanding for some days has been that the present was what is called a bear accaurt, that is, that speculators for the fall had sold largely in the belief that prices could not be maintained. But prices have not gone down accord ing to expectation, and it appears to have been found that money stock was freely taken off the market by the public for investment, the necessary result of which was that the speculators for the fall found a difficulty threatening them of a scarcity of stock for delivery on or against the account day, when stock would be called for. They have, there fore, been trimming to provide against the dilemma by purchases of stock, or options, and hence it is, as stated, that Consols, which in the morning were at 911 to 1 for both money and account, with a preference for money stock at the same equal prices, advanced at the close of business to 941 te 1 for both money and account, money stock being still more in request than stock for account. Before the settlement is probable, therefore, that accounts will be pretty nearly squared between Bears and Bulls. Reduced Threes were 931 to 1. Three•and-a-Quarter per Cents., 951 to 1. Exchequer Bills,lls. t0:144. premium. Long:Annuities, 91 to 15-16. The government broker took 5,000/. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., at 951, for the savings banks ; 5,0001. of the same stock same price for account of Friendly Societies; 1,2001. new South Sea Annuities at 941 for the National Debt ; and 3,3001. Three per Cent. Reduced at 931 for Life Annuity account. Some of the railway companies are understood to have been selling Exchequer-bills and stock, because, as said, they find means of employing their money better. The fact, if fact it be, seems strange, for money continues remarkably easy both in the stock-exchange and the discount market. It appears more likely that, in face of falling foreign exchange, with the prospect of a rise in the value of money, railway companies, if they have been sellers of government secun ties, have been taking advantage of present prices to realise funds for better employment hereafter. The foreign market remains in the same inert state. Mexican, 22 to 1. Spanish Fives, 261 to 1; the Threes, 371 to 1. Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., 581 to 91; the Fours, 911 to 21. The steadiness of Dutch stocks in face of a falling exchange shows the effect which the current inter change of those paper values exercises on foreign transac tions, in correcting or moderating the tendencies of adverse trade money values on one side or the other. Foreign exchange on some of the principal places is still on the decline, and the impression gains ground that there is no likelihood of improvement. On Amsterdam the rates were 12.4 to 41; on Rotterdam, 12.41 ; on Antwerp, 25.921; on Hamburg, 13.111 to f ; on Frankfurt, 1201 to 121 ; on Paris, 25.821 to 871 ,• on Vienna, 10.6 to 61; on Leghorn, 30.3.5 to 40; on Madrid, 36 to 3—all at three months. On Lisbon, at 60 days, 521 to 4. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings in Banco. REGISTRATION APPEAL.—PETHEEBRIDOE, APPELLANT V. ASH, RESPONDENT.—Mr. SeTX Dowling applied to the Court to enter this case curie pro tune. The statement drawn up by the reviking barrister, and the notice, were tendered to the Master on the sth inst., being the last day allowed by law for entering appealk. The Master refused to receive them, on the ground that the notice was not signed accord ing to the 62nd section of the Registration Act. The affidavit of the appellant's attorney stated, that on the 28th October the revising barrister had given his statement of the case, that on the sth November be went to the residence of the appellant about four o'clock, for the purpose of getting the notice signed. The appellant was absent, and would not return until six o'clock the same evening. It was, therefore, impossible to get the document signed that day, and on the following morning (being the Mtn day of term) the Master stated that the law would not allow him to enter the appeal. Unper these circumstances he (Mr. Serjt. Dowling) urged that this was a case in which their lordships would be justi fied in exercising the discretion granted them by the 64th section of the Registration Act, which gave power to the court to depart from the prescribed rule on certain occa sions. The Lord Chief Justice said there was no ground in this case for deviating from the usual practice. The attorney did not think proper to apply for the signature of the appel lant until the last moment, although he knew the necessity of procuring it by a certain period. His client was as likely to be absent as not, and he ought to have applied to him in due time. Having failed to satisfy the requirements of the act of parliament, he had no right to exptxt the court to grant him a remedy fur his own neglect. Application refused.

CONSTRUCTION OP WILL-- WHETHER A RIGHT TO HATE A LEASE WAS CONFINED TO THE PERSON OP THE GRANTEE, OR PASSED TO HIS ENECUTORS.—WiIIiam Cooper, by his will, after giving cer tain household furniture and other property to his wife, be queathed his four leashold houses, numbered 6,7, 8, and 9, in Titehborne-street, to his cousin William Cooper, and George Taylor, their executors, administrators, and assigns, upon trust to pmy the rents and profits thereof, as they from time to time should become due, to the testator's wife or her assigns for her life; and after her decease he gave and be queathed the said leasehold houses to his said cousin William Cooper, his executors, administrators and asaigns,for all his, the testator's, estate, term, and interest therein ; subject, never- I theless, and upon condition, that he or they should and would grant and execute an underlease of two of the said houses, being Nos. 6 and 7, unto the said George Taylor, for the residue of his, the testator's, interest therein (wanting 10 days), at the yearly rent of U., including the land-tax, which had been redeemed ; the lease to commence from the quarter-day next ensuing the decease of his said wife, and to contain coverer:tits similar to those contained in the lease under which he, the teetator,held the same premises ,• and so as the lessee should execute a counterpart thereof , &c. The testator died in 1827, and the executors proved the will in 1828. George Taylor died in 1837, leaving the testator's widow and his co-executor, William Cooper, surviving him. Upon the widow's death, the present bill was filed by Taylor's executor against Cooper, to I compel the latter to grant an under-lease, pursuant to the testator's will. This was resisted by Cooper, on the ground that the under-lease was intended by the testator as I a personal favour to George Taylor, and not intended to descend to George Taylor's executors or administrators. Mr. Goodeve appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Torriano, for the defendant, observed upon the absence of the words " executors, administrators, and assigns," in the will, after the name of George Taylor, although those words appeared, in every other part of the will. It was in evidence that I Taylor was living in one of the houses at the time he made his will. His Honour was of opinion that the direction in the will was not intended as a merely personal benefit to Taylor, and therefore that the plaintiff was entitled. The plaintiff, how ever, must take the under-lease subject to the covenants under which the testator held the premises ; and one of these covenants was, to pay the ground-rent. WILSON r. PAREER.—RIGHTS OP DIRECTORS OP RAIL WAY COMPANIES IN RESPECT OP FEES FOR ATTENDANCE. —The bill was filed by the directors of the Arigna Iron and Coal Company against twe persons named Parker and Flat tery, who had formerly been directors, praying that they might he compelled to transfer certain stock standing in their names belonging to the company, to the plaintiffs. By the 14th section of the 6 GPO. IV., cap. 181, by which the com pany is constituted, the directors were to invest 10,0001. in their names, within one month after the passing of the act, as a guarantee fund ; and it was enacted that the said aunt should not be sold out or transferred until the fund thereinafter created for contingencies (namely a fund of 20,0000 should be raised. The defendant Parker (whose care alone was considered on the present °cession) had been one of the directors in whose names the 10,0001. had been invested. He had been elected four times a director, but ultimately, in rotation, went out of the directorship : and he refused to transfer the stock produced by the 10,0001. to the other directors, until he had been paid the money due to him for attendances. It appeared that be was entitled by the rules of the company to two guineas for every attendance, and that he bad attended 430 times. On the other hand it appeared that other directors had not received such payments. The company had never raised the 20,0001. fund. Mr.'Ruasell and Mr. Heathfield appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Wigram and Mr. Chandless for the defendant Parker ; and Mr. Haig for the defendant Flattery. His Honour was of opinion that the defendant Parker had no hen on the fund for the money due to him for his atten dances, although probably he might be entitled to recover it in some other way ; he was, therefore, not entitled to stop the transfer of the fund on the ground °then. Neither did it appear that be, as trustee, had incurred any particular costs in relation to the fund ; consequently he bad no right, ou that ground, to resist the transfer. The transfer must, therefore, be made. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. WARING Y. SMITH.—GAMBLING BY A BANKRUPT.— Mr. Watson, Q.C., had, on a former day, applied to the court for the discharge from custody of a bankrupt, whose certificate and protection had been refused by a commis sioner of the Court of Bankruptcy, on the ground that he had lost at play, at one sitting, more than 201. Application had been made twice to a judge at chambers, but, having been each time net by affidavits that alleged the loss at one sitting of more than 201., bad been unsuccessful. Under these circumstances, it had been submitted that the court would review the decision of the judge at chambers, and the court had postponed its judgment.—Lord Denman now said that the court, on looking at the statute 5 & 6 Vic., c. 122, was of opinion that it had not any jurisdiction in the matter, ea the authority to grant the relief pray( d belonged exclusively to a judge as distinguished from the Court. As in waiters of personal liberty, the decisions of a judge were not to be deemed final, the Court must not, in announcing its own in ability to entertain the application, be understood to prohibit another application to a judge. TER QUERN v. GORPERTR AND OTHERS. In this case, which was partly heard yesterday, Mr. Rill, Q.C., resumed his argum nt, and was followed by Mr. Peacock. Mr. Wat son, Q C.. with whom was Mr. Cowling, then addressed the Court on behalf of Mr. Robert Witham ; but before he had concluded was interrupted by Lord Denman, who postponed the further diocusuion for the purpose of reading the WE- I davits.

BAILEY.—BREACHES OF THE EXCISE LAWS BY CHEMISTS.—This was an informa tion filed by the Attorney-General against the defendant, an extensive manufacturer of sweet spirits of nitre, carrying on business at Globe-road, Whitechapel, for the recovery of penalties for various breaches of the Excise Laws. It was tried before the Lord Chief Baron during the Middlesex Sittings after last Trinity Term, when the jury found a verdict for the Crown for penalties amounting to 6,600/. Upon the first count of the information they found that the defendant was liable for 2,0001., for having in his possession, and using, private or unentered stills. Upon the fourth count 5001., for distilling spirits without a license ; and upon the fifth count 4,04'01., for removing stock without permits. At the trial, it was contended on behalf of the defendant. that he had not incurred the penalties sought to be recovered by the Crown on the first and fourth counts, as the still and machinery found in his possession had been established for the distillation of sweet spirits of nitre, and other spirits used in the manufacture of low wines, for chemical pur poses, for which no license was necessary. The learned judge, however, intimated that there was no doubt of the defendant's liability, and directed the jury to find a verdict for the Crown, if they believed the evidence. Mr. Martin now moved for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection as to the defendant's liability, upon the first and fourth counts; and, as to the fifth count, to reduce the damages, as the number of breaches were not clearly proved. Since this case was tried, the legislature passed an Act of Parliament (9th and 10th Vic., chap. 90) removing all doubt as to the liability of distillers of spirits for chemical pur. poses. The fact of enacting a statute rendering such dis tillers liable to duty in future, proved not only that doubts of their liability had previously existed, but that they were not at all liable, unless they distilled spirits for sale or for ordinary consumption. The defendant in the present cue had not done so; the spirits he distilled were for chemi cal purposes, and therefore he did not, as a distiller, come within the meaning of the oth Oeo. IV., chap. 80, and I was not liable. The Court thought there ought to be no rule upon either ground. Every man having a still in his possession was liable for penalties if not duly licensed to have it, and no doubt could exist, even under the old act (independent of the recent statute), that, in a ease like the present, where spirits were manufactured and afterwards sold, such a manu facturer of spirits is a distiller, who should be duly licensed. The legislature must have meant to prevent the sale of spirits without license, and the defendant being thus liable, the direction of the learned judge was right. As to the reduc tion of damages, it appeared, on looking over the evidence, that there was sufficient proof to support the twenty penal ties claimed by the Crown, and, therefore, there should be no rule on that subject either.—The rule was accordingly refused. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commissioner Shepherd. Tun PRIZE RINO.—J. Badman, a licensed victualler, who is known in the sporting world as " Johnny Walker," the pugilist, came up for an adjourned interim order. His Honour dismissed the petition, on the ground that the word " not" had not been struck out of it. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION COMPANY TO LEAMINOTON.—The question in this ease was, whether a flat could issue against the above company upon a notice of dissolution appeari g in the London Gazette, and they ceasing to trade. His Honour considered it a case of import ance, and said he must consult his brother commissioners before giving any decision in the matter. POLICE.-YESTERDAY. MANSION-HOUSE.—THE LORD MAYOR'S Dar. — The Lord Mayor took hie seat, for the first time as chief magia'rate, at 12 o'clock. About ten lads, varying in age from 12 to 16, were charged with picking the pockets of gentlemen and ladies while viewing the civic pageant yes terday. One (an old offender) was fully committed for trial, and the remainder sent to Bridewell for 11 days each. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—IV. Burn was charged by Mr. Gilbert, of the Minories, with having most cruelly beaten one of the horses he was driving in a waggon. He had been sitting on the middle hone, which was without reins, and he struck one of the poor animals most deaperately about the head with the butt-end of his whip. The home fell, and the brute struck it even more brutally when dowu.—The Lord Mayor expressed his indignation at the conduct of the defendant, and was about to fine him to the utmost extent, when he suddenly learned that the fellow had a very large family, and that the infliction would inevitably fall upon the head of his wife and children.—The Lord Mayor (to the defendant) : You deserve the weightiest punishment, but I cannot think of punishing your wife and children. The sen tence of the court is, that you pay a fine of 10s., or be con fined in the House of Correction for 14 days.—The defend ant thanked his lordship, and paid the fine. GUILDHALL.—RoBBERY DURING THE LORD MAYOR'S Paoesssiote. Yesterday • middle aged man, rather shabbily dressed, named Thomas Woodgate, was charged before Alderman Farucombe with robbing a gentleman of a gold watch and chain, value fifty guineas. --Mr. F. W. Medley, stockbroker, of No. IS, Old Broad-street, stated that on Monday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, he was proceed ing with a friend from the City to his residence at the West end, and when at the bottom of Ludgate-hill, they were surrounded, as he supposed, by a gang of pickpockets, who refused to allow them to proceed. Presently he felt that his watch was gone, and on looking round, both he and his li friend distinctly saw the prisoner hand it to another persen, and immediately try to make off. Witness, howercr, eeized and held 'aim, in spite of the efforts made by the gang to rescue hint, until the police came up. When he calleu out police, the prisoner's companions tried all they could to pre vent his being heard.—Alderman Farncomhe asked if the watch was entirely lost ?—Mr. Medley replied that it was, His friend (Mr. Staten), if the case was remanded, would be able to attend, and prove that he distinctly saw the prisoner pass the watch to arother party.—The prisoner declared hie innocence, but Alderman Farnoombe decided upon remanding him for • few days, and he was accordingly locked up. CLERK EN WELL. MATERNAL AFFECTION. ARO Parker, aged 19, who was remanded on a charge of having attempted to murder htr mother by strangling her, was brought before Mr. Combs for final examination. The par. Weaken have been full detailed. The mother now attended perfectly recovered an d declined prosecuting, she begged and prayed of Mr. Combs to discharge her "poor dear child."— The prisoner was discharged, when she left the Court with her mother apparently on affectionate terms. M ARLBOROUGH -ST REET.—WELSH LOYALTY.—A well-dressed elderly gentleman, who gave his name as Roberts, was placed at the bar, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking aired himself. Police-constable 93 E found :the defendant in the street and took him to the station-house.—Mr. Long: What do you say for yourself? —The Defendant : Why, your worship, I'm • loyal Welsh man—Mr. Long (interrupting him) : What privilege have Welshmen to get drunk ? (There had been so many loyal citizens before the magistrate, who bad been celebrating Lord Mayor's-day, that Mr. Long had to be reminded by the clerk that it was the Prince of \% rdes's birthday.)—The De fendant : I had been jolly, and celebrating the day like a loyal Welshman ; but when this man came across rue I was at my own door. Your worship the key slipped from my fingers, I couldn't find it, and this constable, ir.stead of help ing me to open the door, took me to the station-house. That's all.—Mr. Long: Between loyalty and this kind of glorification, it is difficult to see the connexion, but you may go this time. STOCKHOLDER 9 CHANGING THEIR RESIDENCE.—Sir, As we live in a day of improvement, and much having been done through the newspaper press to promote the public convenience, I hope you will excuse my troubling you with the following short statement for publication. Having lately been left executor I. a gentleman, who had at the time of his decease some property in the Funds, I went to Doctors'.commons and regularly proved the will. I was told by the proctor to take the probate to the Rink of England. I presented it at the Bank, and told you must bring a certificate of the burial of the deceased, signed by the clergyman, and a dis. interested person must declare that he has compared such certificate with the register-book, from which it is extracted. A very good pre caution thought I, as I set off to get the needful done. The following day I took it to the Bank. " You must leave it two clear days," said the clerk ; in the multiplicity of business then, a moderate time I thought. The third day I called again, and was informed that as the deceased was described as of one parish in the Bank books, and as of another in the probate, another declaration must be made, that the deceased was the same person as described in the Bank books of the former parish. No great difficulty now, thought I, as I well knew him before he removed, though now nearly twenty years ago. Accordingly, having no beneficial interest in the Bank money, I went and made the declaration before a notary, who informed me that that would do. The following morning I snot the said declaration to the Bank, waiting again two days for register ing. When off agairl started to the Bank, pleased with myself that this would be the Let time, and I should finish my affair with them ; but no such thing. When I asked for the probate; after finding it, the clerk inquired, "Are you an executor ?" " Yea," was my reply. " Then your declaration won't do," rejoins the clerk. " Why," " Because you are interested." "I am not, indeed ;" said I, " not to the amount of one farthing." "You must get some one else; we will not take your declaration," was the reply. So, you see, Mr. Editor, after my trouble and expense, I am in theeame state as when I began. To remedy this, I think the bank should, whea they pay the dividends, not only require the name and amount, but the place of residence, making the neeeseary alteration in ease of removal. It G too bad to continue paying the dividends to a party twenty or thirty years without asking anything about his residence, and then, after the decease of the party, who, perhaps, has changed his abode ten times, call upon his executors to produce a declaration from a person that knew him at the time of the first residence, and that he had money in the Bank, which, in most cases, it is difficult to do; and, in some CO" impossible.—l am, Sir, yours truly, A Stescainaz. (We can scarcely think either the complaint of " A Sub scriber," or his requirement, quite reasonable. Surely the holder of stock, like the testator, should take the trouble himself of advising his change of real& nee, so as to be entered on the books of the Bank. Were the supplementary trouble imposed on the clerks of the Bank, of inquiring from every annuitant whether he had changed his abode, and where then resident, with the consequent necewiity of alter ing and disarranging books which had been making up for weeks before, preparatory to the payment of dividends, at the busy time when the payment of those multifarious divi dends was in progress, and crowds of annuitants incumber , dreg the offices, the result would be to create inconvenient delays and confusion. In cases such as that of "A Sub scriber," the usual and more direct course is to apply to the 'broker through whom the stock was purchased, who would probably know, and testify to the change of residence of the owner ; or any other person acquainted with the facts, and having himself a locus stanch as a housekeeper, or a place of business, could perform the same office. In a recent cue of our knowledge, a party finding himself entitled to un claimed dividends since the year 1817, arising from the balance of a parcel of stock unsold remaining to him, which he had overlooked, but casually ell-covered in a list of such unclaimed properties, found no difficulty in proving his identity, and recovering the property, although meanwhile he had changed his abode a dozen times at least. And " A Subscriber" will perceive that the Bank clerks could have no proof that an executor took no benefit under a will, unless he were condemned to read the probate of the will, and have the proctor before him to verify person and pro bate, which would amount to a consumption of time and labour quite out of the question.) RAILWAY NEWS. The market Was rather heavy yesterday, but prices varied little. The public have not been so free buyers as for some time past, as evinced by the scarcity of country orders. The public sales were thinly attended also; most of the stock and scrip put up was understood to be bought in, though ap parently passing the hammer. The general tone of the Liverpool share-market was not so good, and the daily business can hardly be said to be of a healthy nature. Rumours of amalgamations and arrange ments, most of which have but little foundation, seemed to be the order of the day, and lines which are very far front being completed, and of which the prospects are by no means certain, appeared to absorb all attention, whilst the old divi dend paying lines were comparatively neglected. Chester and Birkenhead and Cheshire Junctions rose materially, the former to 621, the latter to 2 premium. Birmingham and Oxfords and Diadleys also continued in demand, and the range of prices was considerably above the London market of the previous day. Huddetifields, Dewsburys, and hirska were lower. _ . The Manchester share-market was decidedly quieter ; still a fair amount of business was done. Prices were, on the whole, rather lower. The business was again very brisk at Birmingham. Dud leys sc reely maintained the rates of the previous day. There were sales at the commencement of business at 61, and at the close at 6i p. Birmingham and Oxford Junctions were done at 71, and ultimately at 7p. Shrewsbury and Birminghams went up to Ils. 3d. p., with firmness on the part of holders, ands tendency to a further rise. There were saes also in the North Staffordshire at 31 p. Trent Valley Midlands (Re gistered) at p. ; Ambergates at 6s. 3d., and Stour Valleys at ;p. Shropshire Unions closed respectively at 6s. 3d., and Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordsbires at 21s. 3d. din. . . . At Leeds the share-market still continued active, and a fair business was transacted. There was a good deal of fluc tuation in prices, but not to any great extent in any given line. The range of variation was about 55. per share, and nearly as many lines declinectto that amount as advanced by that sum. Leeds and Dewsbury closed at 111 pm.; North-Wtsterns were in demand at 16s. W. pm. ; Dews bury branches advanced from 61 to 71 pm. ; Dewsbury Exten sion from 17s. to 225. 6d. pm. ; Ormskirks from4l to 41 pm.; York and Newcastle (Preference), from 41 to 41 pm. ; whilst Glasgow and Dumfries declined from 20s. to 10s. pm.; Thinks, from 11 to 21 dis. ; Huddersfield and Manchester, from 5 pm. to 41; Birmingham and Oxford, from 74 to 7 pm. ; and Matlock and Buxton', from 30s. to 265. pm. At Bristol there was a flat market, and int little business done. The following are the closing prices of some of the leading lines :—Birmingham and Gloucester, 129; Birming ham and Oxford Junction, 81, 9 ; Bristol and Exeter, new, 4, 41 poi.; Bristol and Gloucester, 20, 22 pm.; Great Wes tern, half shares, 79; ditto new, 71; Midlaxid, 1321; ditto new, 101, 114 pm. ; South Wales, 44.

The line will commence at the docks, near the boundary of the parishes of Barking and Woolwich, and pass through Wool Barking, Fast Ham. and West Ham, terminating by a junction wffli the Eastern Counties at Caernarvon-lull-bridge. SOUTH EASTERN.—KENTISH LINES.—The following are the lines intended to be applied for next session. The North Ka and Bricklayer's Arms Junction, which is to connect the Greeavidi and North Kent Railway with the Bricklayer's Arms Branch.

Me Mid Kent and Tunbridge Direct, from the North Kent and South Einem Railway, at Lewisham, to Tonbridge, with branches to Dart ford, lievenasks, Maidstone, unit Paddockwood. The Maidstone and Chart Branch, from the South Eastern, at Maidstone, to join that railway again at Great Chart, near Ashford. The Croydon and Baum. ley Branco, from the North Kent, at or near Lewisham, to Croydon and Bromley. The Stroud and Maidstone Branch, from the Graven end and Rochester Railway, to Stroud and Maidstone. LONDON, BRIGHTON ' AND SOUTH COAST.—This COE/- pony intend going to parlia ment next Rieke kr acts to construct the Kent Railway to Maidstone, Canterbury (Direct Lines) and Ton. bridge ; and ales a direct line to Maidstone, with an extension then from to the South Eastern at Tunbridge. GREAT WESTERN AND SOUTH WALES.—I/ is reported that the terms of agreement entered into between the Great Western and South Wales Companies have been modified, to the extent at guaranteeing the shareholders of the latter undertaking five per cent. in perpetuity, with equal division of surplus profits above that amount five years after the opening of the line ; and that the la. traded provision for amalgamation at the expiration of ten years, which was considered objectionable in some quarters,bas been by com mon consent withdrawn. PROVINCIAL.—AMALOAMATION OP THE CHESTER AND DIDKIVNHEAD, AND BIIIIIIINDLAD, I.ANCVIIIIILK AND Climates ft-scrim. RAILWAT COWPANILII.—The difficulties experienced in the effort to amalgamate there two companies have at length been re- moved, and an arrangement come to be.ween the two boards which must be satisfactory to the shareholders in both companies ; and, by placing the entire scheme under one man igement, greatly facilitate the profitable working of these lines. The terms of the arrange ment are the following:—The Chester and Birkenhead shares are to be taken at 331., upon which the proprietor. are to rewire interest for three years from the first of January, IS 17 the first two years at the rate of five per cent., and the third year at six per cent. The earnings of the line during the three years, of course, go into the amalgamated funds. The Cheshire Junction shares are to be rated at par, or 331. Gs. Sd. each. A meeting of the shareholders of each line will be milled as soon as possible, to confirm this arrangement. The extension line from the Chester and Birken head to the new docks will be commenced this month ; and on satnr day next the first sod of the Cheshire Junction line will be cut by Sr R. B. Brooke, Bart., upon his property at Norton. FOKElON.—lturists..—We learn from St. Petersburg that the long-talked of project of forming a railroad from that capital to Banish) ore, on the Baltic, is about to be carried into execu. lion by a company formed at St. Petersburg. The government guaran tees to the company 4 per cent. on the capital actually expended in its completion. The same company has also obtained an author cation to lay a railroad between Cronstadt and St. Petersburg, with a branch to Moscow. _ _ _ end in tG —.
