IRELAND. DUBLIN, itILT 25 The odds appear to be formidable against Lord Arundel in Limerick. A oral correspondent of the Freem.ni, who could not be expected to state things in un unfavourable way against his lordship, says that the constituency wori of about 1,100 voters, of whom about 1,000 may he expected to come to the poll; that of this number lia7 are protestant*, every one of whom will vote for Russell, and that the Young Ireland party are also resolved to stand by the native candidate, "on the ground that no Irish constituency should be represented by an En glishman." I have heard the Young Ireland votes estimated at 2100, although that is p robably too high a figure. The contest, however, wl be a very severe one. Lord Arundel is daily expected at Limerick. The writ for the election went down from the Hamper Office last evening. MILITARY. ARRIVAL OP THE lift!!

This was a petition praying an advance of 330 i. out of the estate of the lunatic (a fanner in Gloucestershire), to bear the eapenses of traversing the inquisition of lunacy. Leave to traverse had been already given by the Lord Chawr. Hoe The petition was opposed by the committee of the estate, on the ground that the granting that sum would nearly exhaust the lunatic's estate. The Loa Chancellor mid the lunatic had unquestioned • right to traverse the finding of the jury. He regretted that the lunatic's friends did not dissuade him from that coulee. It was at all events his (the Lord Chaacellor's) duty to see that there was no unnecessary expenditure of the lunatic's estate. The expense of a traverse was °flea meek lannued by bringing medical witnesses. In his owls ex perience he never knew medical testimony much attended to by &jury in a traverse ; it might lead to agreeable scien tific discussions, and be made to adorn a case, but had sel dom much weight with the jury.

It appeared that the annual value of the land given by the testator to the corporation of South Motion had increased front 1601. to 8001. or thereabouts, and that the Man applied for the charitable purposes men tioned in the will had not been proportionably increased ; and the object of the present suit was to give the charitable objects mentioned in his will, the full benefit of the in creased income of the property. The corporation claimed to be entitled to such income, subject only to the small payments from charitable objects mentioned in the will ; and for this a note at the foot of an account, relating to the annual value of the land, and its application referred to by the testator's will, was relied on, in which, after showing by the account that the ultimate balance would be 841.75. 91d., ho added, but whatever this balance proves to be more or less, the half thereof is given every year, to him that shall he mayor, and the other half in mending the highways in or near South klolton. But, upon the construction of the whole of the will and accounts, and the note thereto taken together, it was contended for the relator that the corporation were not so entitled, and that they had misap plied the income arising from the charity property. The Master of the Roll. was of opinion that the charitable objects mentioned in the will were entitled to participate in the increased income, and he decreed accoraingly, and gave the necessary directions to carry out his decree and to settle a scheme.

Mr. Russell and Mr. Galant moved on behalf of Mr. Murray, the publisher, for an injunction to restrain the de fendant, Mr. Herbert Ingram, the proprietor of the Illus trated London News, from printing, publishing, selling, or disposing of any copies or copy, volumes or volume of a , work published, sold, and brought out by him, called the Life wSamuel Johnson by James Boswell, Esq., containing any notes or note, or passages or passage copied, taken, or eaiorrbly altered from any note or notes written or com- Merinby William Cruiser, Esq., mentioned in the plaintiff's the suit. Mr. Burke and Mr. R. Moore for the defendant, said that the affidavits in support of the motion had been tiled too late fur the defendant to be prepared to answer them. A discussion then arose as to the terms upon which the motion should be ordered to stand over, and his Homer, after comparing the two works, said that the pointed out to him showed a sufficient probabilitjT= plaintiff being able to establish a ease tor an injunction to make it right to grant one, subject to the defendant being at libert, to give twenty-four hours notice of motion to dis solve it, unless the defendant would cuter into a satisfactory undertaking.

On these undertakings, which were entered into without prejudice to any question, the motion was ordered to stand over till neselriday, the defendant undertaking to file his affidavits (if any) by Thursday. On a question arising as to the effect of the undertaking upon the publication of the third Volume, The Vice-Chancellor said that if the third volume were not a breach of the undertaking there would be no cause for complaint. If it were, the defendant would certainly be committed. ... It was then arranged that the plaintiff should, OR !Satur day (this day), be furnished with a copy of the ferthcoming volume at his own expense. Barone Loma CaAnworrig (Trce-ClosesuaL.) OLIO r.

Lord Cranworth delivered judgment in this case, which was an application to stay proceedings in a suit instituted by the plaintiff as a creditor of an intestate named llibley, 0111 the ground that a decree had been obtained in a claim by another creditor of Mr. llibley, which would give all the relief soughti second suit. His lordship said that an soplirationi n one suit to stay another on the ground that the firs► suit would give all the relief asked by the second would be a mere matter of course ; but two objections were here raised : one was that the first decree having been ob tained upon a claim had not the effect of an ordinary decree in a suit, since there was no lis pendens. His lordship thought he should be acting contrary to the intentions of the new orders if he allowed this objection to have any weight. lle was of opinion that there was no distinction between • decree on a claim and a there° in a suit. Then e•ma tbe second objection, which was that something more was asked in the suit than could be obtained upon tho claim ; that there was no receiver asked for of the real estate, and no injunction as to the personal estate ; although be did not consider that these two objects were of much importance, still they might he introduced by consent into the decree already made, and if that were done ho would grant the present application.

It appeared that in 1846 the plaintiff, Mr. Pascoe Oreohll, was an opponent of the compsny's bill, then in its pump through parliament. Certain negotiations were in that year entered into between the plaintiff and the defendants, having reference to the withdrawal of such opposition. Cltimately a written agreement, dated Bth July, 1846, wee drawn op and signed by the parties, by which the defendant, is immoderation that the plaintiff would withdraw his oppo delft to their bill, agreed to pay him low. per acre fir all boa Obis which they might require for the construction of OWIDIONIEbiIs of railway which were intended to be made on labol, sod they agreed to take, at the same price, all the land lesinee the two branches, amounting to about 10 acres, for a• purpose of a station. The plaintiff thereupon withdrew his oppoution, and the act received the royal assent on 27th ,July, 1816. The defendants afterwards abandoned the intention of constructing two branches of railroad, and applied to the plaintiff, early in the present month, to take four acres of his land, as being sufficient for the construe ties of one branch of the road. The plaintiff refused to IWM for the sale of four acres of land only, but insisted open the specific performance of the contract to take the whole ten acres. The company then served the plaintiff with notice of their intention to apply under the power of their act to be allowed to pay the purchase-money of the four acres into court, and for an order to be let into row aka of the land.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-YESTERDAY. Serous Id a. Li.. IN Tilt 11•172* - 07E1I — AILLa iiODOTON-111:0111F.3.—Cht08S CASE OF FILAVD. This insolvent, who had been a commercial agent, carry ing on business in Wood-street, Cheepaide, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of three woollen cloth manufacturers resident at Leeds, named Thornton, Carr, and Walton. He defended himself. The complaint on the part of the opposing creditors was, that the debt of Mr. Thornton had been contracted by a breach of trust, and that the debts with the other two cre ditors had been incurred fraudulently. The insolvent owed about 1,8001. He was employed by Mr. Thornton to sell goods fur him, as his agent lle owed him 5571. lie was supplied with goods by Mr. Walton and Mr. Carr. Ile sold their goods under the authorised prices. Ile owed Mr. Walton 346/., and Mr. Carr 3781. He had obtained the property from these parties in a very few months. They now complained of his conduct. Ile admitted that he "had kept one book for himself, in which he entered the sums he got, and another fur his employers, in which he entered the prices they authorised him to demand. Mr. Commissioner Law was of opinion that it was a very bad case. The creditor bad been defrauded—robbed of their property—in a very short time. The case of falsify ing books was clearly made out ; but he would prefer dealing with the insolvent on the individual ground of complaint. His Honour adjudged the insolvent to an imprisonment of two yearn (the full period), for contracting a debt with Mr. Thornton by a breach of trust, and for fraudulently obtain ing the property of the two other opposing creditors. IX THE MATTER OP ROBERT COLLINSoN. _ This insolvent appeared for judgment. Mr. Nichols opposed for Mr. Denis, a wine merchant, and another cre ditor named Ross. Mr. Cooke supported. The insolvent was an upholsterer in Newman-street, Osford-strect, and also a betting-list keeper. His wife was a milliner. He had petitioned under the Protection Act in 1849, and at the same time obtained wines from Mr. Denis, and made no mention of them in his then schedule. The debt was incurred and the wine disposed of at the time he was an applicant to the court under the Protection Act. The debt of Mr. Ross was on account of upholstery goods. Mr. Commissioner Law considered it a serious case of contracting debts without reasonable means of payment, and remanded the insolvent at the suit of his creditors generally for six months, and at the suit of the opposing creditors for thirteen months from the vesting order. IN an THOMAS CHARLES CHESMERE WICKES. Mr. Lucas opposed for a creditor named Latchford, from whom the insolvent hail taken a house and paid no rent. The landlord put in a distress, and the insolvent brought an action for such distress, which was now pending. The landlord brought an action fur his rent, and he was put to 301. expenses. Mr. Commissioner Law said the landlord had been seri ously injured, and if the action for the distress continued the insolvent would soon again come to the court. Ile re manded him for nine months fur the vexatious defence. IN RE JOHN Fl ARCH HOLD, The case of this insolvent, the well-known law writer, was concluded. . _ Mr. S~rgood , who opposed for creditors, withdrew the opposition. The insolvent was discharged.

ROBIRTS.—CAN TUC MANAGER 07 A MINIII PLEDGE THE CREDIT OF THE SHAREHOLUMI ? This was an action upon a contract for goods sold and delivered. The plaintiffs are iron and steel merchants at Sheffield, and the defendant is a shareholder in the New York mine, at Itl.ton Field, near the Peak of Derbyshire, and the amount sought to be recovered in this action was 611. 2s. 4d. . . In the month of March, 1849, the New York mine, which had up to that time been worked exclusively by a person named Williams, passed into the hands of a company, the defendant becoming a shareholder to the extent of 40 shares, and Williams was retained as manager. In the September following, a meeting of the shareholders took place; the defendant was present, and accounts having been presented, showed that there had, up to that time, been a loss on the adventure of 576!. The defendant himself himself moved a resolution, signifying the assent of the shareholders to this account, and ordering • further call to meet the deficiency ; this account contains various items for good+ ordered by Williams, u manager, and the defendant approved this 'quilting his signature in the books of the company. Subsequently goods were ordered from the plaintiffs, and their account for the same was in cluded in another minute on the books of the company, notitying that the losses of the concern were 1,0001. ; and the evidence showed that the principal part, if not all the goods supplied by the plaintiffs was used at the New York mine. On the part of the defendant, Mr. Keating contended that where parties work a mine on the cost-book principle, as in this instance, the manager obtained goods on his own credit, sad that an action to recover for goods supplied under such order would not lie against any individual shareholder. Mr. Justice Erie said that be differed entirely with the learned counsel. It was quite clear that the order of an agent in a company of this kind was binding upon the' shareholders, and that debts might be recovered from any solvent person amongst them. It was too much the fashion now-a-days for people to form themselves into a company, and so long as there were no losses to take part in its affairs, but so soon as reverses came to shirk the responsibility they had incurred. In this case there was very little doubt but that the goods had been ordered by the manager for work ing the mine, and no pretence of hardship could free the defendant from his liability. Verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1851. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-NORWICH, JOLT 25.

James Murton, 26, was charged with having, on the 31st of March last, at Leeds, attempted to shoot henry Mirfield, with intent, &c. The prosecutor is a police officer in the Leeds force, and on the morning of the 31st of Marsh last, about two o'clock, he was on his beat in Kirkgate, when he observed the prisoner lying upon the door step of an inn, situated su that street. lie was apparently asleep, and the officer took hold of him by the collar with the intention of awaking him. The prisoner at first refused to get up, but at length did so. Mirtield asked the prisoner what he was doing there, and he replied that having no bed to go to be had consequently laid himself down upon the step. Whilst this conversation was going on the prisoner pulled out a loaded pistol, which ho presmited at the head of the police officer, but, although the hammer went down, the pistol fortunately missed tire. The prisoner immediately ran otr, and whilst he was making his exit he attempted • second time to discharge the pistol, but failed in so doing. Mirfield sprung his rattle, and the prisoner was apprehended by • person in the street. In defence the prisoner said the officer struck him vio lently with a stick over the bask several times before he pulled out the pistol.—Guilty.—To be transported for life. 1 . 1t1.04 RIOT AND MNSLAUGHTZU IN YORK. A 1991 ill H I 96 Nadia& Donal/in and James Donallin were charged with the mau.laughter of James Flannery, in Long Close-lane, on the lith of April last. The prisoners and the deceased were Irishmen, and for some time they had lived neighbours in Long ('lose-lane, and worked in the chicory fields in the neighbourhood of this city. On the 16th of April last, there was some dia. turbanec amongst • few of these people, but that sassed over, and it was not until the following morning that any thing serious occurred. Between nine and ten o'clock on the looming of the 17th a quarrel arose in the lane, at, the commencement of which Mary Jordan, the deceased's daughter, was struck by James Donallin. The deceased having beard of this, came out of his house, and seeing James Douidlin, he struck him. After this, Michael, the other prisoner, took part in the fray, and a very serious riot_and outrage ensued. The number of the parties present increased, and a terrific fighting and disturbance took place. Whilst this was going on, James Donallin armed himself with a long brush, with which he struck the deceased over the head; and Michael Donallin not only beat him with a poker, but threw at him a large paving stone, which hit him on the head, and felled him to the ground ; death ensued on the second day after the affray took place. Ilis lordship directed the jury to acquit James Donallin, and he sentenced Michael to three months' imprisonment, at hard labour. SENTENCES. William Hoyland, convicted of robbery it Handsworth ; William Beckwith, John Wood, and William Baxter, found guilty of robbery at Bothwell ; George Staley, con victed of highway robbery at Sheffield; George Kaye, for highway robbery at Huddersfield, were severally transported for 15 years. 1 110 30 30 43 13 ill - il it• I 30 l I _ 55 15 19 121 I2l' 124 Su 50 THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. George Lake, proprietor of Lake's Dining-rooms, Cheap side, ,•urrendered to his bail, before Mr. Alderman Wilson and Sir C. Marshall, for re-examination, on a charge of violating the person of Emma Gardener, aged 16, his ser vant. The circumstances under which the charge was made, and the details of the evidence given on the former examination were given in the Daily News of this day week. Mr. llallaaine now appeared for the defendant.' The complainant not appearing, the learned counsel asked the aldermen to discharge the defendant from the serious charge made against him, and proposed to call evidence for a warrant for her apprehension on a charge of wilful and corrupt perjury. According to the instructions he had received a more wicked case could not be conceived. The 4:406 17 j 17 ill' ill 100 St.'lloo 10 1 - ii St. 1041 Ilk 4A Bt. ;100 in i defendant was desirous for the fullest investigation • he de clared he never touched the girl or made any pro posals to her, or acted towards her other than as a master should do towards his servant. It was necessary for the safety of the public at largo that so fearful a charge involving the penalty of transportation for life, should be met by the most prompt measures to repress it. The absence of the girl proved the wickedness and falsity of the charge, in addition to which, he had the evidence of a respectable surgeon, who had exa mined the girl, that no recent traces of violation were to be found upon her person.: tinder those circumstances he asked that a warrant should be issued forthwith for her lip prclit nsion, and also that the defendant should be at once discharged. Mr. Wood, the chief clerk, wished to know what the affegations of perjury were ? liallantine—} or falsely having sworn that the de fendant came into her room and forcibly took possession of her person. Alderman Wilson having directed the officer to again as certain whether the complainant or her father was present, and whether any person appeared on her behalf, and the answer being in the negative, said, as to the knowledge of the parties of the hour and time they were tq„attend there meld be no mistake in the matter, for he ad expressly given directions that they should be informed. The charge I sms one of a serious and injurious nature against a trades men of the cite of London, and, as the learned counsel had said, one which, if believed, involved the punishment of leaseporution for life. The defendant was there with his WI es to meet the charge. The complainant was not hetbseasing, nor did any one appear on her behalf; he thought, therefore, the defendant ought to be discharged. The defendant was then discharged. Mr. Ballantine said, the defendant, being then dis alerted, he should propose to put him into the box as a Witness, in support of his application for the warrant for the gemplainant's apprehension on the charge of having cora =hied gross, wilful, and corrupt perjury. Mr. George Lake, the defendant, then entered the wit- I. SO Me bash sad having been sworn, deposed that on Weelnes- fit. ewaishe the 17th of Jul (the night the offence was alleged e t. ' SO law been committed) he returned home about half-past east hh wife was waiting up for him ; she shortly after went to hell, and he followed her in about ten minutes or a quarter se hf an hour after. He never entered the bed-room of Emma : 1 4 1. Gardener that night, nor had he done so on any other occa sy - 11911 when she was there ; he never, at any time had any is intercourse with her, or ever made any proposals for that 6 purpose, and the statement made by her at the previous ex- St. emulation was entirely false, and a pure invention. After joining his wife, he never left the bed until about six an o'clock in the morning. Alderman Wilson said, before granting a warrant, he should require some further evidence than that of the de fendant himself. Mr. Ballantine replied, ho was perfectly ready to call le the surgeon who had examined the girl, and should, also, Is on another occasion , call the wife of Mr. Lake, who would tt prove that her husband had never left her room during the night, if it was thought necessary. IT Alderman Wilson thought some further evidence must 18 be given. Mr. G. S. Childs, surgeon to the police, deposed that on Friday last he examined the girl, and found that there was ; no evidence of any recent violence having been offered to s her. She was not a virgin, and expressed a reluctance to be f examined. Emma Bruce, one of the witnesses examined on the pre vious occasion, deposed that Emma Gardener had told her that her master had had intercourse with her, and that she had no doubt she was pregnant. Margaret Sarah Lake sans—l am the wife of Mr. George Lake, of Cheapside. I remember the night when my her band came home. I sat up for him until half-past one. I scolded him for keeping me up so late. The boy and say. , self turned off the gas. I then went up to bed ; it was Wien two o'clock. My husband followed me up stairs Ia shwa ten minutes, and, so far es I know, he never left the roam again until the morning. If he had dose so I think I meet have heard it, as lam a very light sleeper. If my husband left the room it must have been when I was asleep, and he must have returned quickly, as I was not disturbed and did not mica him. He got up about six o'cleek in the morning. Joseph Beckley deposed that he was in the employ of Mr. Lake ; he recollected titling up for him on ft he night in question. A ft er Mr. Lake returned home he (witness) and Mn. Lake turned off the gu. He followed to his own room at the back of the fourth floor. Emma Gardener slept in the room opposite on the same floor.

The ex change remains unaltered. The price of gold yesterday at l'aris was 4 per mule discount (new tariff rate), wide!' at the English mint price of V. 17s. 1011 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.07, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.02 i, it follows that gold is 0.18 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By the latest advices, the price of gold at Ham burg is 4251 per mum, which, at the English Mint price of V. 17s. 104 d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.57,, and the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.5, it follows that gold is 0.176 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. By lust accounts the course of exchange at New York on London, for bills at 60 days' sight, is 110; per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in favour of England. Upon taking into consideration the difference of interest and charges of transport we find that the present rate leaves a profit on the im portation of gold from the United States. . .

DIRECT EAST AND WEST JUNCTION RAILWAY.— Yesterday a meeting in this matter was held before his Honour the Master in Chancery Farrer, to proceed with the settlement of its affairs. Mr. Roxburgh, who appeared with Mr. W. Galsworthy as counsel fur Mr. Jay, the offi cial manager, stated that it had hitherto been found im possible to proceed, owing to the detention of the books and papers relating to the affairs of this company by the direc tors of the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway Company, who had received about 10,0001. from the directors of the East and West Coast Railway Company, in consideration of what was termed "amalgamation,. without, it was contended, the authority of the shareholders, on whose behalf it was now sought to recover the amount. Mr. W. Harris, the secretary of the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and orcestershire Company, said these books were at that company's office, but they Were under lock and key, and the key was with a clerk in the country.—Mr. Roxburgh urged on the master to com pel their production, as ineffectual efforts had already been made for the purpose.—Mr. Whiting, the chief clerk, sug gested that "the lock should be picked," and the Master, observing that the case was one of ne cessity, directed Mr. Harris and his solicitor, Mr. Lambert, "to go and pick the lock," to which, as it was their own lock, he saw no objection. These gentlemen accordingly withdrew, and the proceedings were adjourned for an hour, shortly after the expiration of which period they returned with the books in question.
