EQUITY COURTS.—Fea. 19. (Before Vios-asencellor Sir J. Stuart.) HARDING V. MANYTN. This case came on for bearing yesterday morning, and having occupied the court the whole of that, and the greatest part of this day, is still far from befog at an end. The snit was instituted by a Mr. Egerton Harding, as the com mittee of his co-plaintiff, Mr. Henry Jones, who was found lunatic by an inquisitioe held in July, 1860. In the month of May, 1861, the Lords Justices ordered the committee to take proceedings against the defendant, and set aside a cer tain assignment or gift of furniture and other effects made by Henry Jones to him • the restoration of certain articles of piste, jewellery, an d other things, belonging to Hairy Jones, and appropriated by the defendent and his wife ; the refunding of money received by them from Henry Jones ; and the restraining of an action at law, commenced by the defendant against Mr. Jones. The defendant was a medical man practising at Howarth, and Mr. Jones was also • medical man, living at Welslipaol, and upwards of eighty years of age. The assignment, by which it was contended that he had parted with all his furniture and effects at his house in Welshpool, was executed or signed by him on the 24th of March, 1860 ; and the question with regard to it was whether he was then of sound mind end cap•ble of transacting his own attain. For the defendant it was insisted that however eccentric Mr. Jones might then have been, be was fully capable of managing his own business ; that so far as consideration was wanted to sup port the assignment, the defendant had given up a lucrative practise at Howarth to go and reside with Mr. Jones, and mist him in the performance of his pretender:al &dam— es& being, to hot, the purport C o nti j cl the assignment.. riawitnesses of the r a were called li thiSso ci yesterday and today, and were '4lrolliiiialited on affidavits made by them by the deteuderit's counsel, with the view of proving that at belated the assignment Mr. Jones was fully competent I, understand the nature of his ode. One of the defend anth witnesses had been called. in the cause of whose ex tethiustion it was stated that the real ques tion in the case would appear to be, whether a bill made Mr. Henry Jones, in 1857, in favour at Mr. Harding, was or one made by him in April, 1860, in favour of the def t's wife ! As the thee is still pending, we reserve any further report until the conclusion of it. Mr. Baron, Q.C., Mr. Willy, of the Common Law bar, ISA Mr. E. K. Karalake, appeared for the pleintiff ; and Mr. Malin., Q.C., Mr. Sheppard, of the Common law tar, and Mr. W. Pearson, for the defendant. COURT OF QIIFXN'S BENCH .- Fu. 19. After Term Nisi grim; Sittinp at Guildball.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn snd • Special Jury.) BEITIWN V. THE BANK 01 LONDON. (Continued from yesterday's dzpress.) The plaintiff was called and deposed to the (acts already stated. He was in custody altogether on this charge for live weeks,. Mr. Hawkins interposed, and mid the defendants were may liable for the plaintiff's detention up to the time of his being taken More the magistrate. What was done subse quently was the judicial act of the magistrate. The plaintiff was then examined with reference to his trial on Brown's charges, and also the part taken by Mr. Mullins, solicitor to the Association of Beaker, for the de %Wants' in the matter, whew Mr. Hawkins objected. Mr. Muller was acting for the sonintittesof the Association of Bankers. The Lord Chief Justice—Surely the defendants are not going to avoid their responsibility under such • miserable excuser that Mr. Mullen. might be called for the plaintiff. Sergeant Paektnan ' of the City detectivedetectiveforce, . proved taking the plaintiff into custody. He received his instruc tions from Mr. Mullane. Witness signed the charge-sboet. Mr. Muller was then called, and when 'eked what in structiose he gave the last witness, Mr. Hawkins said he did not rand to rely on his tech aical objection with regard to Mr. Muller'. authority to err the plaintiff's apprehension. The Lord Chief Justice said the proceedings were un worthy the Bank of Loudon. He regretted very much that such a wretched and technical objection bad been taken. le answer to questions from Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Mullins deposed that on the nth January, 1862. be recovered fro the bank the cheque in question, and • statement signed by Brown. He saw him the same evening, end he informed wirer that it wan correct, and showed witness some papas and doosnwate in ristarroe to it. He described the plain. tiff as • clerk of the works in Bow-street. The statement was to the effect that Brown bed lost • cheque, and that after the plaintiff was in custody on Brown's charges he found amongst his paper a slip upon which the plaintiff had attempted to forge his name, and that be bad lost 601. by him. He investigated the matter at the request of the committee of the Association of Bankers. He had several interviews with Brown, and had no reran to doubt the truth of his statement. Brown swore positively before the magistrates that no pert of the cheque was in his handwriting, and that be believed it wee the plaintiff's. On the trial for embezzlement pre ferred by Brown he wee examined, and from what occurred witness was led to doubt the truth of his statement. He afterwards saw Brown, and further examined him upon the matter, which tended to shake hie credit, and led the jury to state that they did not believe his evidence. His explanations were unsatisfactory, and he placed in witness's hands documents in support of his assertions with regard to the forgery, which consisted of the cheque, an Ilf l U, rid • receipt for 61., purporting to have been given by the plaintiff to him io the course of their business transactions. He let tint considered Brown's redeemers to be true, and that the plaintiff must be convicted. From the time above re ferried to he suspected the whole of the documents were for eerie'. He examined them with • magnifying glass, and afterwards with a microscope, and ascertained that the sig. natures bad been tampered with. He reported it to the committee, who immediately countermanded the prosecu tion against the plaintiff. Brown was given into custody for the turneries, tried, convicted, and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. The plaintiff was recalled, and examined with reference to his pecuniary position, and his having been twice in dd.. °ultra. Yr. Hawkins submitted that upon the evidence be had proved his plea subject to the question of forgery. The Lord Chief Jana°, and be thought there was uo forgery within the meaning of t►e plea independently t and that there was no felony to justify as individual in giving the plaintiff into custody without the intervention of a magistrate. Mr. Hawkins said he thought he could not support the felony. The loud Chief Justice said be should tell the jury that if t►ere bad been a felony there was reasonable and pro. bible cause for proceeding against the plaintiff. The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff, dowses Sig, *abject W the plat reserved. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Fra. 19. (Before Mr. Oornmiasioner Holroyd.) IX U EDMUND 0 1101311/3, OTHER W ISR FALCONE/L.-MB LYCKI3I4 • AND DROBT-LANE THEATRE!. This easel;ealn -7-- eaWboiirore the court, by adjournment. It will be remembered that an application was made some time ago to set aside or rescind • protecting order of the Insolveet Court which had been obtained by Mr. Edmund Falconer, now the learn of Drury-lane Theatre, in June, 1859. On that occurs the matter stood over, on • sug gestion from his honour (Mr. Commissioner Fonblaoque) that the best course would be for the parties to endeavour to come to some arrangement. Mr. Keane sow appeared in rapport of the application. It was opposed by Mr. Sargood, Mr. E. Hod, and Mr. Brougb. Mr. Keane stated that in the interval Nitre the last sitting no arrangement had bees come to, and the matter consequently again came before the court. By the 7th *action of the 5 and 6 Vie., cap. 116, a heal order wee granted to insolvents, sad the whole of their estate, pest and future, err vested in the official assignee. By the 9th section the future estate could be taken possession of by the assignee on filing • copy of his claim and serving it on the petitioner. Mr. Sturgis, the provisional assignee, had com plied with those preliminaries, and that being done the property bad actually vested in him. The 12th section of the nine act directed • month's notice to be given of any application to the court for rescinding the final order upon which the commissioner, after examining the petitioner, if nerseery, might make an order for re scinding the final order. le cars where the petitioner made a full disclosure of his after-acquired property, he was relieved from this process; and it might be said to be a fraud on the court to obtain its protection and reface to make the disclosure which was a tradition of that pro. ration. Mr. Falconer, after obtainiog his order, had ac quired property of which be bad given no notice to the official assignee. By the production of the Pay o' Day at the Lyceum Theatre, Mr. Falconer bad realised a very large sum. In proof of this it was stated that be had paid 3,000/. to Mr. E. T. Smith, in part payment for the lease of Drury-lase Theatre. Of this property he hod given no notice to the ass' and it was said that he bad realised as much as 20,06f11. Ceder these circumstances it was asked that the final order should be preluded. Mr.Targood mid there must be strict proof of compli sane with all the formalities in order to give the court jurisdiction. Mr. Kemp' pat is notice of the application (now made oa b e h a lf ofMr . Calwtt, an admitted creditor), which had been served no Mr. Sturgis on the 23rd September last, and also on Mr. Falconer, by leaving it at the stage doer of the Ly- w ji - Bowen; thought it &meltable that a balaeosseheet should be toads out showing what Mr. Feleorser had re. mired, aid how be bad dispeed of it Mr. %mood said that for Mr. Fawner, in his wellies se the meager d a theatre, with wash a ebeutalle as he bed, to be celled oik to melte emit a belaaormhost, would be his utter dsatruellea.

Letters from Warsaw of Tuesday last received here say : " An order, issued by the chief of the revolu tionary committee at Warsaw, has been published here. The chief forbids workmen to leave their workshops, and students under eighteen years of age to quit the schools, and cautions the inhabitants of the city against making demonstrations. When the moment for insurrection in Warsaw shall have arrived, the inhabitants will be solemnly exhorted to unite for its success. For the present tranquillity is required at Warsaw. "The chief has also addressed an official commu nication to the Prussian consul in the Polish capi tal, reproaching him with displaying zeal in the Russian interest, and with assuming a hostile atti tude towards the insurgents. "The chief concludes by expressing a hope that the consul will pursue a more equitable course in future, to save the national government the neces sity of taking energetic measures against him." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Frs. 19. The Emperor of Austria has granted a special audience to Mr. George E. Seymour and Mr. B. Price, on the subject of the establishment of an Austrian and British International Bank, having council at London and Vienna respectively. INDIA. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have ad vice* from Bombay to the 28th January, and from Calcutta to the 19th January. The Governor-General will leave Calcutta for Benares by railway on the 3rd of February for his north-western tour and Simla. Durbars will be held at Delhi, and Umbslla . The camp will ße re n a l Th e lJa ra 'at the end of March. The follow ing will be the movements and route of his excel lency. He will reach Agra on or about the Bth of February, and will remain there a week. He will then proceed, vik Muttra,Delbi, Meerut, Hurdwar, Eoorkee, Saliarunpoor, and Umballa, to Simla. Already the necessarypreparations are being made; the roads are being looked to, arrangements are in progress for the due supply of provolone where the cortege is to and the whole district is on the qui Ore. Ms excellency will be absent about nine months from the seat of government. Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan, K.C.8., reached Calcutta on the 12th of January, and took the oaths and his seat as an ordinary member of the Council of the Governor-General of India, under the usual salute, on the 13th idem. Cotton presses have been erected at Ferozepore, and pressed cotton is now sent ;from the Panjaub to Burrachee. About 100,000 bales of cotton were brought into Kurrachee during 1862: of this number 60,700 were brought in by rail. It is expected that during the current year 150,000 bales will be brought in by rail alone ; and that if prices continue at their present qnotatiors, Kurrachee will, within three years, export 600,000 bales. Dr. Forbes, superintendent of the Dharwar Cot ton Gin Factory, has written an important letter to the Collector of Dharwar on the cotton cultiva tion of the Dharwar and adjoining districts. The cultivation of American cotton has increased in the Dharwar districts more than sixfold within the last Ave years. 150,000 bales of American cotton (quite equal to "middling Orleans "), and 140,000 bales of native cotton, is the amount available fur export from the new port of Sudashewghur. Bombay contribution to the Lancashire Relief Fund now exceeds 35,0001. The Calcutta fund has reached 27,0001., of which sum 25,0001. has already been remitted to the Lord Mayor, and subscriptions still continue to flow in.

Already Mr. Falconer had settled in tale way with creditors to the amount of 2.0001. Mr. Beebe said that an offer had been made ow behalf el Oaloott to tele 10e. in the potted, but this was not sr waled to. Sergood said he should certainly advise Mr. Fawner, if that offer were made in good faith, to accept it at owe, and to pay the costs. But it would involve the necennity of making arrangements with all his old creditors. There were a dozen outside, waiting to know the result of this ap plication, and there would be a dozen rules of this kind ap plied for to-morrow. Mr. Falconer would be willing to pay 10a in the pound on this debt by four quarterly iostablienes. The Commissioner—Cannot you co M to an armegement that a certain sum shall be paid into court within a gives time, to be applied u a dividend to the creditors ? Mr. Sargood said that might be done if the court would entertain any more of these hostile motions. Mr. Keane said, if the judgment of the Court were not given in his favour, he should resort to whatever other re medy his client might have, and should perhaps proceed oy MSBallolll3. After a conversation between the legal advisers of the parties, which did not result in any arrangement being come to, Mr. E. Reed contended that "after-enquired property' in the act merely meant property that might be acquired be tweed the vesting order and the final order. This act imposed a penalty which was altogether destroyed by sub sequent legislation, and ought therefore to be construed strictly. His Hamar was of opinion that the words " &Renee quired property^ in the 9th sad 12th sections clearly meant property acquired at any time after the final order. The obi gel of the legialathre in requiring notice to be given et shot acmalted property was to give the creditors Informs. tion of property of which they could not be otherwise aware ; and such notice most be held to extend to property acquired at any time after the final order was made. Mr. Sargood renewed ha offer of 10a. in the pound, by four quarterly instalments. Mr. Keane said that Mr. Calcott was willing to take 10a. in the pound at one time, but he had been held at arm's length for months, and Mx. Falconer wee now in • better position than be was then. Ultimately Mr. Sargood consented to adopt the mgges• Sion at the court, that Mr. Falconer should file • balance sheet, but asked for a month in which to prepare it. His Honour thought it desirable to allow a little time, in the hope of some arrangement being come to in the in tervaL The order would be that a balance-sheet should be filed within a month, to be made up to the present period.

On Wednesday morning • telegraphic manage wee re ceived at the police-office, Sootlaud-yard, to the effect that two men, suspected of the robbery, had taken the train at Stockport on their way to London. By direction of Sir Richard Ma Singeaots Langley and Clerk awaited the arrival ofthe Stockport train at the Chalk-farm station, and arrested the prisoner.

George Brown, cellarrnan, of Ili, London-street, Fitrroy square, was charged before Mr. Knox on suspicion of having feloniously entered a cellar ander Percy Chapel, and wilfully and maliciously damaged a quantity of wine in bottles and wood, of Use value of about 6001., the property of Mr. Richard Tukesbory Chamen (trading under the style of Chamen Brothers), wine merchant, of Charlotte-street. Mr. Frederick Goodrum, clerk to Mr. Chamen, and living at 7, Charlotte•street, said At 12 o'clock on Monday night I wee awoke by the poboe on duty, and in consequence of what I was informed I went morose to the cellar. I found all the sins alight, and nine casks of wine, the bungs bang taken out, turned down with the bungholes downwards, and all the wine over the place. I then found that an iMaISINIS number of bottles of sherry and port were smashed, evidently done by kicking them with heavy boots. I also found that three quarter cask. of waste wine bad sot been tosehed, evidently showing that the person who did the damage was conversant with the place, and knew the valuable wine from this other. The amount of wine destroyed, I should say, was about snot. Other evidence baying been adduced, which seemed Mort suspicion as the prisoner. be WY remanded for a week. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

After a lapse of fifteen years a steeplechase meeting has been revived at Newmarket. An admirable course, within half-a-mile of the Kennett statics, on the Newmarket and Bury Railway, was made, and the distanoe—f our miles— was easily approachable by road and rail. The lin* of country formed something of the shape of the letter " P," the competitors starting opposite the judge's box, and returning over the fences taken on the outward journey. Although the obstacles were in many places " try iog," the fences generally were not formidable. In the longest race there were twenty-six jumps, including the brook, which bad to be taken twice in each of the contests. The weather, which for some time bad been beautifully fine, broke up on the eve of "the chase," but fortunately the rain passed away during the night, and the opening day, though thick and foggy, remained fine until nearly the termination of the racing. The attendance —principally composed of the London division—wasnu merous, and the programme, which contained four events and a match, was productive of close contests. The day's proceeding, commenced, with the usual Newmarket punctuality, at one o'clock, with the principal Handicap of the day, for which six runners went to the poet, and ter minated in favour of Ben Lend—the "John Scott" of steeplechasing.

An anti-slavery demonstration took place last @vector at the Lambeth baths, the largest covered area in this extensive borough. The meeting, as at the numer ous preceding parochial and district anti-slavery meetings, was very great, the numbers Wag only limited by the capacity of the building. Mr. W. 1VII•LIAM0. pre. sided, and was supported by his eellearie in the regimen ca tion of the borough, Mr. Bonitos, M.P. Mr. DOULTON, M.P., believed that the feeling in favour or the South, and the desire for the separation of the North from the South which existed in this coantry, arose I from as impremion that our own material iatemets mere I involved. It wee as opinion arising from that vin of the utilitarianism. (Hear, hear.)

An emancipation meeting was held to-night in the Amphitheatre here, which was densely crowded. Mt.

The chairman having read speeches of Soothers statesmen to prove slavery was the cornerstone of the Confederate government. The Rev. Mr. BURRELL (baptist) moved the Snit remain. tion—" That in the opinion of this meeting the war now raging in the United States of America originated in the institution of slavery and in the antagonism which that system inevitably presents to the institettooe of freedom.' He said it was the duty of English freemen to warmly sympathise with the Lincoln emancipation PolioY• Mr. C. ROBII3IIIO/ seconded the resolution, and argued tliataliwsry alai* wee the cause of Southern secession. The rsedutien was carried. _ _ The Rev.

He argued that, if not unani mous, Northern opinion was sufficiently strong to warrant Mr. Lincoln's policy. The resolution wee seconded by Mr. C. E. Rawlins, and after a brief speech from the Rev.H. B. Brown, was carried. Rev. Dr. Origamis moved the third resolution : " That this meeting abhors the attempt now made, for the Brat time is the history of Christendom, to establish an empire avowedly founded on slavery 'as its chief corner. Mane" Rev. J.,Ronnrans seconded the resolution, which was also panned. Mr. Coonn mowed that an address should be presented to President Lincoln, embodying the feeling of the meeting ; which was seconded by Mr. PATTERSON, who accused the Times of withdrawing its correspondent, Mr. Russell, because he told the truth on Southern matters. After some opposition on the part at Preform Amu- SON (the Wizard), the resolution was ultimately carried. A crowded meeting was held at the town-hall, Oldham, on Wednesday night ; Mr. Thomas Emmett in the chair • to . express **sympathy with President Lincoln's einanekpation policy.* A crowded and most enthusiastic meeting was held at Farnworth os Tuesday evening, to " consider the bearing of the present war upon slavery, and the propriety of expressing sympathy with the Federal gov ernment in the policy of emancipation. ~ occupied the chair.

The Rev. W. Woman moved an amendment to the effect that it would be inopportune to give expression to any opinion which would commit the meeting to the ap proval of either of the belligerent parties. On being put to the vote, after some discussion, the resolution Ives car ried by an overwhelming majority, followed by tremendous cheers and waving of heodkerchiefs.—The following resolu. tom was also carried "That, looking at the policy of the Federal government shim the election of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, sod taking into amount the many and manifest difficulties of their position, and considering farther the re sults of their measures in limiting and weakening the 'esti. lotion of slavery, this meeting hereby declares it. convic.. lion that they are entitled to the indulgent consideration and warm sympathy of every lover of freealoni."

The LORD MAYOR said that if the court desired to hare strangers excluded while this subject was being discussed, it bad the power to do so ; and if the motion was peranted in, be must take the sense of the court upon it. Alderman &storm's intimated that he was of opinion that the subject had better be discussed with closed doors, and his motion to that effect was therefore put and declared to be carried.

The public were not re-admitted for more than two hours, and it was then stated that all the motions bad been carried in the affirmative, after an animated discussion and • division had taken place upon the third one. A further report was brought up from the Cool, Corn, and Finance Committee, recommending the payment of cer tain law charges and other moneys. This gave ries to some discussion, during which the affairs of the late City Solicitor, Mr. Mertes Pearson, were incidentally alluded to, but es it appeared that the accounts of that gentleman with the oorporatiou are not yet finally arranged it would be unfair to make any further allusion to the subject, and more particularly as a forma report will io all probability be made by • committee in reference to it. The court shortly afterwards adjourned. • NORTHKIN AND Faarnx RAILWAY.—The half yearly general meetiog at this company took place yesterday at the °Mon, Bisbo ps ; Mr. Richard Paterson in the chair.
