'lliamas Ocorge, • tenant of Mrs. Cummings, and Mr. Mollusk, formerly mayor of Newport, deposed that when Mrs. Cumming was in Wales, in 1149, she conducted herself with perfect sanity.

Mr. Stephen Hutchinson, an engineer, and a legatee in Hie will, stated that he had known Mrs. Cumming fur 20 years. Mrs. Cumming spent some hours at his bolus a few evenings betwe she was taken to the asylum. On that OCCIM "On she conducted herself as she always had done, like a rational lsin.t. Was appointed • trustee under the will of 11117, but declined to act, as having other business to attend to. Saw her in St. John's-next in WO, when she said that she thought Mr. Haynes was neglecting her business, and that she would employ another solicitor to manage her affairs, as she was in want of money.

MORTGAGES AND RENTS IN NORTIIIIIRERLAND. The triantity of money seeking investment seems to be se euneulrting, and solicitor, in this district acknowledge great difficulty in finding mortgages or other securities for trust funds and sums to be lent at interest. This has been by no means the ordinary state of things in Newcastle fur the last few yean, fur circumstances to which we need not further allude have hitherto rendered money stares, and conse quently more in demand at a higher rate of interest here than in most other places. The farmers and landlords in this county, like the people of France, begin to " accept the situation." The restoration of protection being beyond hope, they are reforming their relations to each other to meet the mitered circumstances. The three aspects of the eosin: change are seen in the granting of leases, the alt.. ration of farming conditions, and the reduction of rents. Ae should, perhaps, rather have pat the last chrome first, es it has made the most progress A single instance which has come to our knowledge is worth a thousand homilies to' the landlords, on the wisdom of meeting the farmers half way, and enabling them to meet low prices by reduced rents Upon an intensive estate is the neighbourhood of Igeepeth the whole of the farms were last term given ap foe a reduction of rent. The proprietor, wishful to do what was reasonable, and to preserve for his property a respectable and responsible tenantry, had the whole of tie farina looked over and re-slued by his agents. The moult has been, all the farms have been relit to the same tenants, at a reduction of sot lees, is any instance, than 25 per cent, and in one ere, we believe, of 40 per cent —Neer suds Chremiele.

When this appeal was called on for argument, the Lard Chancellor intimated that Mr. Plumer, from the Ex. amiuer's-uflice, was in attendauee, and would be ready to offer any explanation with respect to the practice, in tak ing depositions of witnesses, should this be deemed neces sary in the course of the argument. Mr. J. Russell, who appeared of counsel fur the plain tiff, said he did nut apprehend that it would be neemsary to enter into that matter. The 1,0r.l Chancellor said, in consequence of the argu ment of the previous day, he had thought it right that the ()dicer should be in attendance. The appeal set its merits was then proceeded with. It was an appeal from • decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir James Knight Bruce, on a hill tiled against the representatives, who teal also been the committees of the person and estate of a luoatie deci...ed, declaring that the deceased was • trustee fir the plaintiff of the sum of 4,3001., Three per Cent. Consols, and for a transfer of the ',welt to the plain tiff. There was a cross bill by the defend iota ag Oast the plaintiff (or information, which was also the subject of ap peal. As the appeal was from the whole decree, Mr. J. Rue sell, on behalf of the respondent, opened the ease in support of the decree. The case is of a very extraonlinary nature— s "romance of real life:" but as it was only partially heard on one side, and very grave allegations of spoliation are made against some of the parties, we postpone our re port. Mr. Matins. Mr. ('handless, and Mr. Ste ers are for the appellants; Mr. J. Russe ll an d Mr. W. W. Cooper fur the respondents. The Lord Chancellor rose shortly after one o'clock to at tend • cabinet council. IS 111,. MATTLIt 01 SIR JOHN PORTR'S ITOSInTAL. The Solicitor General continued his address in support of the petition for an investigation into the management of this charity, commonly known as the peplos Hospital and Diameter Sehool, and stated that the result of the repute lions and ordinances which had been established by the governors was that the mere tuition of a very small number of boys cost a very large sum, averaging upwards of 201. per head. The revenues of the charity :mounted to 2.300!. per annum at the least, and the affidavit of the master of the hospital showed the manner in which 1,9281. was ex pended, the rest was unexplained; out of this 1,9232. the tram of 7631. was paid in support of the hospital and alms 'bosses, leaving 1,1741. for the ezpenses of the school, of which 3401. we, expeeded in allowances to the foundation madam and 601. for ezhibitions, leaving 78.51. for the pur e of tuition, and with this sum they only educated 26 bays. This arise from the governors having restricted the Amity to the children of parents residing in Etwall and lepton, which were very small places compared with some of thou: in the immediate neighbourhood, such as Derby. He contended also, that some of the payments included in the Pill. were illegal, and were the result of allowing the master to take hoarders ; and he asked the court for a de claration that the rule of 1832, whereby the governors re stricted the additional tree scholars to children of parents residing in Etwall and Renton, was illegal. That it might be referred to the Master to inquire of what the charity property now coudsteil, and what was the income of it; what saint were payable by way of salary or otherwise to the several objects of the cheeky at the date of the act of parliament, in 1824 ; and whether the deductions required by that act were duly made. What annual payments have been made sines 1824 to the objects of the charity, and what is now the annual ea pend item, and what is the surplus revenue, if any ; and if he shall find that there is a surplus, thee feel a scheme ; and if there is no surplus, then to state wheabse it would be proper that any alteration should be made in the mode of conducting the charity, and whether it would be proper to make soy and what application to parliament for carrying such scheme into effect. Mr. Willenek and Mr. Morris followed on the same side. The Vice-Chancellor remarked that a very strong ease would have to he made out before he should he induced to direct an applicati us to be made for the purpose of repeal ing an act of parliament. No one who had been concerned in charity cases was ignorant of the enormous amount which these repeated applications co-t. In many of the eases which had been brought before him his private opi nion was that the arrangements might have been more beneficial, but the question was whether so strong a case was made out that he was bound to direct proceedings, for if he merely acted on his own private conviction, his suet weir would be entitled to do the same, and might differ from him, and so the whole funds of a charity might be wasted. Mr. Ilethell appeared in opposition to the petition, and maintained that the whole administration of the charity was such as was well qualified to meet the objects of the trust • and though there might be cases in which this court had directed applications to parliament for the purpose of carry ing out the objects of a charity, he knew of none where the court had set as a court of appeal from the legislature and had directed the repeal of an act already passed. He then maintained that the governors had acted in everything strictly within the discretionary power vested in them by the charter and the act of parliament, which only imposed upon them this restriction in the exercise of their discre tionary power, namely, that the ordinances they should make should not be tuconsistent with the objects of the charity. The act also gate them power to dispose of sur plus revenues. By the act the salaries end allowances are ' all fined at nine times the amount given by the charter of James, and as to the restriction of the charity to &waned Keeton, such charities have always been held to be heal, and the petition only made mention of one applienlien for admission from a boy residing beyond those N. The taking of boarders by the muter had always been MI to be an advantage in schools of this description, as ear bling the charity to obtain a higher clam of muter, sad ite tending to the mixture of classes in society. As to the ale jection urged, that the boys who were admitted ti=to foundation were not of the class designed by the • vis., the children of those who could not afford to give elm a g ood education, the proof entirely failed ; for it only ap peared that they were children of persons in respectable profes sions; and it was well known that many such persons were quite unable to give their children such an education as they could obtain at this school. Ihe case was further adjourned at the rising of the court. "RI. Buena Vwwenamoatua name& Tue NZWRT AND ENNLAILILLILY RAILWAY COMPANY r. Tlin NIWAY, WARLINPOIMT, AID Ito a RAIL WAY Coarami. The plaintiffs were holders of debentures for 8,000!., due 'by the defendants, the Newry, Warrenpoint, and Roatrevor Railway Company, and they tiled their bill in Hilary Term 1850, fur realising the amount against the company and the other deb.-attire holders. It appeared that the working the railway was on lease, and the lessee was also made a party defendant. A receiver was appointed. In July last a sum of money WAS in the hands of the receiver, and, upon a petition, the amount was by consent distributed rateably between the debenture holders. The sum of Ids. 105. bad again accumulated, partly in the hands of the receiver, and partly in court.

Coutta and Co. to MOM the rem of 2,5061. 175., which the plaintiffs alleged that the defendant had improperly paid upon their account. The action wa s tried before Mr. Baron Martin, when • eeri let wee foiled fur the plaiutilti, damages 2,596. 17s. The cireuuedances of the case were these. It appeared that the plaintiffs were th e trustees of the property of a deceased person, whose name we understood to be Cragg, and that a Chancery suit had been instituted for the purpose of settling his drain An order was made by the Court of Chancery, directing the plaintiffs to pay the sum of 2,5981. 17s. into the hands of the Accounant•Cleneral of the Court of Chancery. They accordingly drew a cheque upon Mean. Coutts and Co. in favour of • Mr. Edward Bryant Cleary, the solicitor to tho next of kin to the late Mr. Cragg. The cheque stated that the money waste he paid on account of general unpaid coon, and was crossed with the word" Bank of England, for account of the Accountant-Omen's" The Aceountant-Ueneral, it appeared, would not receive cheques, and consequently Mr. Cleary struck out the en dorsement upon the cheque, and wrote the name of his own hanl.ers, Messrs. Ousting and Co., across it. Messrs. Coutta and Co. then paid the amount of the cheque to Messrs. tioslin • and Co., who placed at to Mr. fleary's pri vate account. That person, however, instead of plying the money to the Accountant-General, converted it to his own use, for which offi nee he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to transportation. The present action was then brought ageing the defendant, the plaintiffs contending that as they had crossed the cheque with the %orals Dank of England, Messrs. Coutts and Co. ought only to have paid the amount into the Bank of England, and not to Messrs. Gosling and Sharpe. In the course of last term Sir F. Thesiger obtained a rule for a new trial. The Attorney-General now showed cause against the rule, and said that the effect of the finding of the jury was that Messrs. Coutts and Co. ought to have paid the cheque into the Dank of England, and that they had been guilty of negligence in paying it in the manner they had done. it was clear that the intention of the plaintiffs had been frustrated by their own bankers, in consequence of their having paid the cheque to Mr. Geary 's bankers. The intention of the plaintiffs was to obey the order of the Court of Chancery, and to pay the money to the Accountant General, and not that it 'should' be put to the private ac count of Mr. Geary. Under ouch cireumstanees ought Messrs. Coutts and Co. to have paid the cheque in the man ner they did ? Ho (the Attorney-General) submitted that they ought not. The intention it the plaintiffs woo fest upon the face of the cheque, but it was said that the manner in which the cheque was drawn rendered it a nullity If that were so, then it was the duty of Messrs. Coutts and Co. to have communicated with the plaintiff.. and to have told them that they had drawn a cheque in such a form that it was not possible to honour it. lie (the At. . torney-General) therefore submitted that the rule ought to ; be dicharged. Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Unthank followed on the same aide. _ Mr. Serjeant ("barmen then addressed the court in sup port of the rule, and contended that it must me made abso lute. If in point of law Messrs. Coutta and Co. were jus tified in paying the cheque, then there could he no negli gence on their oart. Ile submitted that they were so justified, and that the evidence in the case rebutted the charge of negligence. The cheque wu an order, by the custom of bankers, to pay Mr. Geary or bearer the sum of 2.5961. I7s. They had paid Mr. Geary, aad therefore he might be considered in the light of the bearer of the cheque. The restriction as re garded the payment of the cheque, if any, arose from the words " Bank of England" being endorsed upon it, but those words carried no meaning with them, and were merely written in compliance with a conventiond form, which wu altogether inealid. It was impossible, by any custom, to contravene a written instrument, and in the present case Messrs. Coutta and Co. had only followed the directions contained in a written instrument by paying the money to Mr. Geary or bearer. Ile, therefore, contended that the rule must be made absolute. Sir John Bayley was also heard in supl ort of the rule. The Lord Chic . B iron said the amount sought to be re cosi red was very large, and the case was one of great fin portanee. The court, therefore, did not feel theinsilvcs justified in giving judgment until they had submitted the matter to grave consideration. Judgment deferred. COURT OF BANKRUPTUY.- S.ATrRDA T. _Barons 21 . a. nansiesso7.9.. nas IGt-irs;;W The bankrupts, who were drapers, at Leeds, applied for their certificates at a former sitting. ilia Honour now gave judgment, recapitulating all the circumstances. The bank rupts, he said, had commenced busitiese at Leeds, in 1847 ; but not satisfied with this, they had opened shops at Brad ford, Leeds, and Shelfiell, and there sold goods, but not in the ordinary way of trade. The consequence waa that as early as the 20th of February, 1830, they owed 2,7301., and had assets only to the extent of 1,6301., leaving them in • deficiency of 1,2001. At the same period of the following year they they had again looked into their affairs, not in a regular and systematic manner, but with sufficient accuracy to enable them to state that they owed rather less than at the previous period (2,2091.), while their wets had been reduced from 1,3501. to about 1,0001., leaving them in pretty nearly the same position. with a deficiency of 1,2001. They became bankrupt in August last, when their debts had increased to 3,300/., and their a•sets, instead of 1,0001., were reduced to about 5001., leasing a deficiency of about 2,8001. The mode in which they had carried on business sufficiently explained how it was that they had gone on from had to worse. Thomas Wallis, Jun., stated in his examination that they had had sales at Halifax and other places. They had no memorandum of the stock that went there, or of the stock that came back, or of the money that they received. They marked their goods to he sold at an avenge of 20 per cent. above the cost price. The amountsgiven were merely estimated. They sent young men round the country with hawkers' licenses, but never entered the good• delivered to them. This was • degree of recklessness which it was im possible to distinguish from fraud ; end, looking at the re sult, in the gradual iacrease of the debts anal the reduction of the assets, he could not regard it as any other than • fraudul , nt proceeding. A few days before calling their creditors toaether they had m a payment of 100 t. to -n noel., to whom they owed 2001., but thG had been returned . This, taken in connection with the other facts of the case, was an evidence of something which, if not absolutely fraudu lent, was closely allied to it. There were certainly two circumstances ■ little in their Savour. The personal ex penses appeared to have very small ; but when such masses of money bad disappeared there was reasonable ground for suspecting that tthhee personal expenditure was under valued. The other &montane, was that they had ,hewn a readiness to meet their creditors, and had induced their uncle to repay the 1001. Giving them credit for this, he still felt bound to postpone their certificates for two years from the date of the fiat, and he should not grant them protection till they had undergone three mouths' imprison ment. Mr. A. Jones represented the assignees in this case, and Mr. Lawrence the bankrupts. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-SATURDAY. Ix NE JOHN MILLII.-BILL DISCOUNTING.-11INT TO This insolvent, descs7b:cia;Us author, who applied under the Protection Act, was opposed in person by two rialtos' named Magniss and Thompson. Mr. Cooke supported. The opposing creditors were holders of bills of exchange given by the Insolvent, and the question was what reason able expectations the insolvent had for contracting his debts. His wife was in expectation of money by the death of a relative, and a friend expected a chancery sail to be settled. He had made himself liable for debts, and had sold for 1201. furniture which had cost him more than 3001. Mr. Magniss had discounted bills for the insolvent, and admitted that he had charged 30 per cent. as discount. The insolvent said Mr. Magniss had charged him 60 per coat. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said if the opposition stood alone he should pay little attention to it, but he looked at the schedule and saw the manner in which some of the debts had been contracted. He should give no assistance to gen tlemen—and it should be made public—who took by their own admission 30 per cent. They were their own insurers, and need not complain.

THB POLICE COURTS. WORSHIP-STREET. _ _ John Fletcher, a young man of respectable appe arance and connexions, was charged with having stolen • F con taining 461., in notes and gold, the property of his em ployer, Mr. Peter Ludgate, an ostensive draper, in ChM. well-street, Finsbury-square. It appeared that the prisoner had filled the situation of clerk in the prosecutor's service, at • liberal salary, since the month of July last, and bad always been regarded as a I of unimpeachable integrity until the 31st alt., when person left without notice, and never again made his appearance. Shortly after be bad absconded, it was dis covered by Mr. George Ovary, another clerk in the esta blishment, that • canna bag, containing sovereigns and hank notes, to the amount of W., end which he had depo sited in • desk in the warehouse the same morning, in the presence of the prisoner, had also disappeared. A se arc h had ever since been made after him by the police, but the prisoner succeeded in eluding apprehension, and nothing more was seen of him until the preceding evening, when he presented himself before Inspector Brannan at the Featherstone-street station-house, and voluntarily sur rendered himself into custody. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. M AR LBORO U G H - ST RE ET . Hem AA...a, pugilist, was cha rged with conspiring with game net in est.

On Wednesday last the gentleman and two others came and after sparring some time, prisoner told Mr. Jackson that a bet of 51. was made for one of the gentlemen's friends to fight him with the gloves on. A bet was made by one of the friends of 301. to 101, and the bettor asked the prose cutor to put down 101. for him, to which he consented, and the person took it up. The room being con►idered too small for the glove fight, all parties went to a house in Cnns.. berland Market. The glove fight was begun, and during its continuance, Mr. Jackson was induced to put down 211. 10s. more, making 311. 10$., not on his own account, but on account of the bets made by the gentleman% friend. Mr. Jackson, however, suspected something was wrong, and demanded his money buck, when the prisoner and others threatened to punch his head, and made their way out of the house into a cab, in which he also got, and they then got out, and went into a public-hours in Lambs Cou duit-street, hut were followed by Mr. Jackson, wko ulti mately gave the prisoner into custody. Ile was remanded to Tuesday neat. SOUTIIWAIM. ...... . Harriet Green was charged with stealing a sovereign and four half-crowns from the person of John Reid, an engineer, Prioecutor said that on the previous night he had Leen to a piece in the City, and about halt•past 11 passed over Blackfriars•bridge, towards Lambeth, where he resided, when he met with the prisoner, who asked him to treat her to a glass of grog. Ile accompanied her into a public house in Webbc-street, where he paid for the grog they had, and deposited his money, consisting of a sovereign and four heif er." • ns, in his left hand pocket. The prisoner walked alongside of him for a few yards, when he suddenly felt her hands in his trousers pocket, Lut before he could get hold of her she ran away. lie instantly felt his pocket and mimed his annoy, when he pursued her and handed her aver to a constable, when four half-crowns were found in her possession. Mr. Combo—Were you sober at the time she committed the robbery ? Prosecutor—Not exactly; but I knew perfectly well what I was shout. Mr. Combo—What are you? Prosecutor—An engineer, sir. mr, c o sube--I suppose you are on the strike, then, and one of Newton's pupils ? Whose employ were you in at the time ? Proweutor.—Mews. Mandalay's, but I can't answer many questions about the strike or Mr. Newton. All I can say, the masters have caused it. Mr. Combo.—You arc allowed something from the Amal gamated Society. Prosecutor.—Yes, I am, sir, as well as my companions, but it is only a trifle. ' Mr. Combe.- -Well, it will not last long if you drink and treat the women. All of you had much better return to your work, u the strike only leads to drunkenness and distress among your families. This case is an instance of its evil effects on the workme n. . Prosecutor.—l merely treated the woman out of charity. As soon as I caught hold of her, she put her hand to her mouth, and most likely swallowed the sovereign. Mr. Cumbe asked her what she had to say to the charge ? She replied that oho never robbed the prosecutor, and that the four half crowns found on her were her own. They had been given to her by a geutlemmt just before she met the prosecutor. Mr. Comte.—Well, you are committed for trial, and you must try to make a jury believe your story. The pri.oner, on being removed, " I'll have Mr. Charnock to jacket prosecutor at my trial, for lie is telling lies." (Laughter.) Committed for trial. LAMBETH. James Brants was brought to the station-house for exa mination charged with being concerned in stealing a 'limn. tits of engineer's tools. The prisoner requested permission of the gaoler, Davis, to go to the wster-clost in the yard, and while there he contrived to scale a wall and drop into an adjoining garden,whence he started off and got clear away without being iiseovered. MARKETS. PRODUCE MARKET. LIVERPOOL, Jlx. 17. The sales to-day are :—Sugar: 60 Mids.

Orchilla Wood : 3011 bales, at 39a. fur sound, and 18a. 64.1. to 255. 6d. for damaged. COTTON . LIVERPOOL, JAN. 17.—The sales to-day are estimated at 5,000 bales, and include 200 l'ernams and Maranhams, at to 6d. ; 50 Bahia, at lid. to 6bd. ; and 500 Surat, at '214. to Std. Exporters have taken 500 halts. The imports since Thursday are 10,000 bales. The market closed steadily, at the prices of yesterday. . • MANCH ST SR. JAM. 17.—Prices are easier, with some ex ceptions, both in cloth and yarn, than last week, and the market is quiet, though the sales, perhaps, do not fall much short of the production. Middling qualities of Ws water twist in bundle, suitable for the German trade, were sold thi. morning at 91d. to 91d. per lb. ; and 16's to 24's water, abo find ready . buyers at full prices. Low numbers are neglected and easier in price. For mule yarns of medium counts there is a good sale, and prices are at an ad vance of id. in some cases for immediate de:irery. The Yorkshire houses are taking line and doubled yarn suitable to the market, but the failure of a commission house in Bradford recently, has rendered spinners cautious, a house at Bolton being reported to have suffered to the extent of 9,0001. as a creditor. Th 3 failure, however, is alleged not to have arisen in legitimate business, but through railway share transactions. In the cloth market there is rather more quietne.s than in yarns—especially for India qualities of shirting.. The better makes of 40 inch, however, weigh ing from 81b. fox. to glib., are in good request for China. For other descriptions of goods there is no change in the character of the demand. LINEN, &e.—BELTAIST, JAN. 17.—The trading opera tions of the past week have been pretty fair, both as regards extent and briskness. We must, however, except linen yarn, in which but little was dune up to this day, when the demand became excellent, stock being much reduced in manufacturers' hands. WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Leans, JAN. 17.—The market to-day has again been fiat and quiet, and only an indiffe rent business has been done. There have been several of the principal buyers in the town during the week, which has given considerable briskness to the trade in the ware houses. HARDWARE.—BIRIIINOHAM, JAN.l7.—Thecontlition of the various trades of this town has been so little operated upon fur the last two or three weeks that in reality there is nothing on which to report; we have reason ;to believe, however, that the state of trade generally is highly satis• factory, and that in meet of the principal branches there is a very fair amount of orders. This is not the time of year when a very brisk trade is looked fur ; it is believed, how ever, that the opening of 1652 is in that respect somewhat above the average. There is nothing more to be said on the subject of the Birmingham trades just now. The hint is, perhaps, necessary to those who might be led away by the elaborated statements which have appeared in some of the newspapers of late ; in fact, no reliance can be placed on them. We observe with pleasure that some of the finest of our manufactories are being enlarged immensely, and that some new ones are in course of erection. As was pointed out some weeks sine* under this head, the gun trade is brisk, consequent on government orders—a fresh batch from the same source has come in during the week.
