The Lord-Chancellor gave judgment in this matter, which wee argued before his lordship on the I6th of March last, and the facts and points of the arguments were re ported in this journal on the 18th. It may be remembered that the question was, whether Mr. Deploy's name should stand on the list of coutnbutories of the above-mentioned ' company, which was in the course of being wou n d u p I under the acts of 1818 and 1819. The company was formed in 184:5, and provisionally registered under the Act 7 it 8 Viet, cap. 110, and Mr. Besley being asked by one of the promoters, a member of the provisional committee, to allow himself to be named on that committee, consented, on the promise, as hesitated in his affidavit, of not being bound to take shares, or incur any responsibility. His name was pat on the list of provisional committeemen, at a meeting held by them on the 4th of October, 184.5. Ho was not ' present at that meeting,or at another held on 7th of October, when ii committee of management was appointed. That committee met and passed a resolution on the ad of Novena ' bar for the allotment of shares to the provisional commit ' teemen, and a copy of that resolution was sent to Mr. Bee- ley, who on the 6th wrote to the secretary, stating that it would not be convenient to him to take shares se allotted to hint as a committeeman, and requesting that his name might be struck off the list. The secretary having cont. mimicated that letter to the managing committee, they directed him to inform Mr. Besley and other persons who mrde a similar application, that their wishes should be complied witn. Ihe secretary did not make the commu nication nor was the name struck out of the list. It be coming soon apparent that the scheme would not succeed, the provisional committee met in December 1845, and re solved that, for the purpose of meeting their liabilities, they should each pay 3s. per share on each of the 100 shares that were allotted to each of them. Mr. Belsky less present at that meeting, but not, according to his statement, until after the resolution was passed A copy of the resolution was after wards sent to Mr. Besley, among other provisional com mitteemen and be paid 151., the sum required by the reso lution. lie afterwards paid two sums of 501. each, in pur suance of otheriresolutions passed at meetings held in March 1846, at which he was present. Under these circumstances, the official manager, under the Winding-up Acts. put Mr. Besley's name on the list of contributories, and the Master retained it there, but Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, on appeal, ordered the name to be struck out. From that decision the official manager, by the direction of the Master, appealed to the Lord Chancellor (the late Lord Cottenham), who, in June, 1850, after hearing the case fully argued by Mr. Roxburgh for the appellant, and Mr. Kerslake for the respondent, decided that Mr. Besley was liable as a contributory, and that his name should be re stored to the list. A■ application to rehear the use was afterwards made to the present Lord Chancellor upon the ground that several eases were differently decided by the Lords Com missioners in July, WO (as Ruberts's case, 2 M.N. and G.), and alai, by the House of Lords in August (Cottle's case, 2 House of Lords Cases). The Lord Chancellor, after much discussion, reported at the time in this journal, con witted to the rehearing, and the case was accordingly argued before his lordship by Mr. Holt and Mr. Kerslake far Mr. Ilesley (the appellant), and by Mr. Roxburgh for the official manager. The Lord Chancellor, now giving his judgment, recapi tulated the facts of the case, and observed that lie was satisfied three facts were not fully laid before Lord Cotten ham, and if they were his lordship would not have made the order which he did make. The evidence in the ease showed that Mr. Besley never attended any meeting of the provisional committee until after it was resolved to abandon the undertaking. The question resolved itself into two parts; namely, first, whether Mr. &sky incurred liability at law to the creditors of the company; and, secondly, whether he incurred any liability to his fellow committeemen to in demnify them for any liabilities incurred by them. Inas much as he did no act and attended no meeting until after debts or liabilities were incurred and the scheme abandoned, he could not be held liable to them. Ile was not, therefore, liable to any creditors of tke company. That was estab lished by the came of " Lewis v. Boswell," and " Wyld r. Hoskin.," both reported in 1.3 Meeson and W., 517. He never acted with the provisional committee or committee of management in any of the contracts or acts. His name happened by some mistake to have been left on the Het of committeemen, but he did not act with them. It appeared that he did attend meeting. held after the abandonment of the undertaking, for the purpose of seeing how the liabili ties incurred could be discharged, and he made a payment of 151. and two 501. in pursuance of these resolutions, and to protect himself from further demands. No liability to other demands could arise from his making these payments, no more than in the case of Roberts, decided by the Lords Commissioners, and reported in 2 M.Nagliten, and Gordon, in which it was held that a payment of a sum to avoid the cost of a threatened action was imma terial. The payments made by Mr. Besley were made as matters of favour and in good faith to the committeemen, and did not make him liable to them for furtle.r contribu tions. lie had never acted with them, did not sanction any of these contracts; he was merely a provisional com mitteemen in name only, se was "Cottle's case" (2 House of Lords Cases). In conclusion, his lordship said he was of opinion, ou the evidence before him, that 31r. Bosley was not liable to be on the list of contributories, and therefore the order made by Lord Cottenham must be discharged. Mr. Molt asked that the costs of the appeal be paid by the official manager. Mr. Roxburgh said the practice no doubt was that the official manager should pay the costa of his unsuccessful appeal out of the estate. But there was in this case a re-hearing of an order made in favour of the official ma nager, and there were also costs incurred upon the applica tion for that re-hearing. Surely all these costs should not be paid by the official manager. The Lord Chancellor—The costs of the application to re-hear were caused by the official manager ; for when the ease came for re-hearing, you, on behalf of the official ma nager, objected that he was taken by surprise, for that he had no notice that leave to re-hear was granted. And upon that preliminary objection taken by you, there was a protracted argument whether the case should be re-heard. Mr. Holt said that the order for the costs should be m►de against the official manager personally. Mr. Roxburgh said that could not be, for the Winding up Act indemnified the official manager personally. He was an officer appointed by the court. The Lord Chancellor—lie is the nominee of the solicitor to the petition for the winding-up, and whose object is to 'wing in on his list as many contributories as he can to se cure his coats. _ Mr. Roxburgh—But surely be was bound to come before the court on the rehearing to defend the order mado by the Lord Chancellor.„That is the acknowledged practice in every court of appeal—he ought not, at all events, be called on to pay the coats of the other side, especially when a rehearing is granted as matter of indulgence. The Lord Chancellor—As indulgence for cause shown, he waiinclined to think that this rehearing Mas only a contin uance of the hearing before the late Lord Chancellor, just as if no order was made ; but the case stood over for further consideration or argument. Mr. Molt repeated his demand of the costs against the official manager, in which the Lord Chancellor seemed dis posed to concur. Mr. Roxburgh referred to the section in the Winding-up Act, which declared that all the expenses and costs of the official manager, in all the proceedings instituted by him should come out of the estates over which they were placed. The Lord Chancellor said be was inclined to think that the words in the section referred to costs of the proceedings taken before the Master. However, he would look into the act, which his lordship more than once pronounced to he M amma, and decide whether these costs should be paid bythe official manager personally, or out . of the estate ; but the order he now made was that LordCottenham's order be discharged with the costa, to be paid by the official manager ; and the order of the Vice-Chancellor for striking Mr. Brody's name out of the list be restored. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-YESTERDAT. Imous is Baca.—Boss Loma CUIPSILL, NS. JOT ICS PMTS. sum, Ma. Unica Cousins; Limp Ma. Jrnies Lats. Em ?ANIS Joss_ BAILZT, IN AI TIN SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY CODIPANY. Mr. A. J. Stephens /So vied for a mandamus to compel the South Devon Railway Company to make the branch railway to Sutton Pool according to the provisions of their act, which was passed on the 28th of August, 1846. The compulsory powcts for the purchase of land expired in August 1849, and the general powers for the making of the line would expire in August 1851. Ihe case, however, differed front those which had lately been before the court, because, in this case, the affidavits stated that notice to purchase the land was given to all the landowners in January 1847; and, therefore, although the compulsory powers had ceased, the company could compel the parties to past with their lands, and there would be nothing, there kee, to prevent their obeying the mandamus. Lord Campbell said that it had been held that when a notice had been given the landowner could compel the emit pony to go on and complete the purchase, but the converse bad never been held that the company could compel the lendowner to sell after the expiration of the time limited by the act. Mr. Stephens said that by the decision in Walker v.

This ti an action of ejectment brought by a mortgagee In recover pomeasion of the premises comprised in the amide \ i pge deed. Interest upon the mortgage had been paid by the within 20 years; but tbe tenant in posses sion cef premises claimed under a title by 20 years' ad verse pesese&n against the mortgagor, and the question turned upon the construction of the 7 Will. IV. and 1 Vitt., e. 28, which after reciting that doubts had arisen Li to the effect of the 3 & 4 Win. IV. e. 27 (Statute of Limits tious) so far as the same related to mortgages, declared and enacted that any person claiming under any mortgage of land, might make an ent7 and bring an action to recover leech land at any time within twenty years neat after the last payment of any part of the principal or interest, al though more than twenty years had elapsed since the time to make such entry or bring such action should have first accrued anything in the said act notwithstanding. Mr. Watson, and Mr. Hall now showed cause against the rule on behalf of the tenant in possession, who it appeared was the sister of the mortgagor, and had been allowed by him to continue in possession without paying any rent, or giving an acknowledgment, and contended that the statute though general in its terms was not intended to put the mortgagee in any better position than the mort gagor would have been in, and that as against him the pos session of the sister was clearly adverse, the old doctrine of " possnsio fratris " being destroyed by 3 and 4 Will. IV., c. 27, s. 13. And that if this were not the correct interpre tation of the statute, a landlord who bad lost his power to eject his own tenant might, by making a mortgage to a third party, recover possession. Mr. Knowles, Q. C., and Mr. Unthank, contra, contended that there were no authorities which threw any light upon this question ; but that the words of the statute wcro clear and unambiguous, and must embrace the case. That the statute was granted to protect mortgagees, and could only do that by being interpreted as he proposed; that if the construction on th e o th er s id e was correct, no mortgagee would ever be safe without requiring from every tenant an acknowledgment of his landlord's right. Mr. Justice Coleridge—Your construction would give a peat advantage to mortgagors as well as mortgagees. Mr. Knowles admitted that that might be so. The Court said that there was another ease in the paper (" Doe dem. Baddeley r. Massey") in which the same point arose, and they would hear the argument in that before giving judgment. BAIL COURT.-YESTERDAY. eirrptus a BMOC,. —B. BEAUCLELIC V. MIL JIMICII WlOlllllllll. I/L.-OUTLAWRY._ Mr. T. Jones said this was a writ of error for the purpose of reversing an outlawry. He moved on behalf of the de fendant for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why an order of Mr. Justice Erie for reversing the out lawry should not be rescinded. The error assigned was that the plaintiff was in Parts beyond the seas when the writ of digit was awarded and issued. The defendant gave notice to the plaintiff in Brussels that the writ had been issued, and that he would be proclaimed from county court to county court, and would be outlawed, if he did ua.t appear. It was also averred in the plea that reasonable time had elapsed for the plaintiff to coine in and appear. Now he (Mr. Jones) apprehended that to be a good plea. Where a party had notice of the proceeding to outlawry, it had never yet been decided that it could be reversed. Abe ground fur reversing au outlawry was that the party was I abroad at the time when the preliminary steps took place, and could not have known of the proceedings to enable him' to come in and appear to the proclamation. Mr. Justice Wight.nan—lf he is abroad he cannot answer. . . . Mr. Jones said that if hi bad had notice of what was going on he might appear and answer. Mr. Justice NVightsuan thought it was extraordinary that the point had never been decided before. Mr. Jones said it had not beta a common practice to re verse an outlawry by writ of error. Mr. Justice Wightman was not aware of any ease M which this course hail been suggested. lie had a ease before him, in this court, the other day where this very same plaintiff succetdial in setting aside an outlawry, on the ground that he was at Brussels at the time the writ issued._ _ . Mr. Jones said he was counsel against the same party in another case in the Court ut Exchequer, and Mr. Ileauclerc succeeded there also, the only issue being whether or not he was at Brussels at that time. Mr. Juticc Wightman—You may take a rule. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—YESTERDAY, Strrnson rs Riuteo.—Barnitx Loan C.lOJasnw lltsfls, Ma. her mit Mavis, Ma. Jamas Cammwau.. Amu .Mr. Jumcat tea, SCOSII4 ROSSETTI T. GEREIY.—JEDOIIENT. The Lord Chief Justice, at the sitting of the court this morning, delivered judgment in this case, and said the question was, whether there had been a total or a partial loss of the cargo of a certain vessel which the plaintiff had insured. The court were of opinion that there had been a partial and not a total loss. It appeared that the yew' was laden with wheat, and bound for Liverpool. Upon her arrival at Cork it was found that • great part of the cargo was very much injured, audit was clear what the duty of the master of the vessel was. It was his duty to have ascertained whether it was practicable to have had the cargo dried and conveyed to Liverpool in another ship, regard being had to the expense of so conveying the cargo to Liverpool and its value. If the cargo could have, at a reasonable expense, been conveyed to Liverpool, then there had only been a partial loss, and the master could not sell the cargo as for a total loss. In the present case a claim had been made for salvage, and the vessel had been hypothe cated. With respect to the claim for salvage the party who insured the vessel was liable to pay a portion of the expenses so incurred. 'r be court were of opinion that the verdict, which was that a total loss had taken place, could not be sustained. The jury had found that 1,700 quarters of the wheat might have been taken to Liverpool, but the court thought the question that should be submitted to them was, whether the expense of drying the wheat and conveying it to Liverpool in another ship, was a proceeding which it was practicable and reasonable to have had done, regard being had to the ex pense of so doing, and the value of the cargo and the other expenses which were incurred at Cork. The rule for a new trial must therefore be made absolute. STAINTIACIL C. FENNING.—JCDOMENT. In this case tne Lord Chid Justice, in delivering the judgment of the court, said that there were tour questions raised in the argument upon the rule obtained iu this case, but it was only necessary to consider the tint one, which was that the plaintif had no insurable interest in a certain vessel, and the court were of opinion that that was a good objection, and that their judgment must be for the detend ont. It appeared that on the 20th of September, 1646, a vessel called the Hartland left Quebec, for Liverpool, but meeting with bad weather she was obligid to put back to Quebec, being much damaged. In order to obtain the money necessary to repair the ship, the master hypothecated it to Messrs Allen and Gilmour. By that deed it wu pro vided that if the consignees did not pay to Messrs. Allen and Gilmour the bills of exchange drawn on them to the amount of about 1,6001., then they might under the deed of hypothecation seise the ship at any time. The ship had been lost, and Messrs. Allen and Gilmour had through the plaintiff, insured the vessel, and the defendant refused to pay the insurance on the ground that the deed of hypothecation did not give them an insurable interest in the vessel. The Court thought that, as the deed was not such a one as count be enforced in a Court of Admiralty, no interest was conveyed to Messrs. Allen and Gilmour, and, therefore, they had nothing to insure, and, consequently had lost nothing. Under these circumstances, the Court were of opinion that their judgment ought to be for the defendant. &IMAM AT NHS PUFF •T lIIDDLESET.—booto WILLIMOI AND • COMM.? Jukr. BUSINEIBE OF THE COI RT.

SEARLE T. HARRIS.—FALSE IMPRISONMENT. The plaintiff in this case is a carpenter and der living in Mount-street, Whitechapel, and the defendant is a watchmaker in Upper East Smithfield, and also the registrar of births and deaths for that locality, and col lector of the poor rates. On the evening of Friday, the 18th of February, the plaintiff was at a public-house called the Star and Still, in liarrow-alley. Aldgete, and about half-past seven he was told that the police wanted him outside. In consequence of this communication, he went out and saw Sergeant Kelly and two police consta bles, who took him into custody upon a charge of stealing some lead from the roof of one of the defendant's houses in Olasehouse-yard, and conveyed him to the Leman-street ' station house. The defendant au then sent fur, and in about an hour he arrived and signed the charge-sheet. The result was, that the plaintiff was locked up in a cell all night, and was taken before Mr. Yardley, the =gismos, in the morn ing, and discharged. The heed said to boo been stolen wu removed upwards of 12 neaths beim the plaintiff was taken in charge.

Mr. Watson , GM., moved fora rule, calling on the plain . tiff to show cause why the verdict returned for him for 8001. should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground j that the • erdict was against the evidence, and that the damages were excessive. The plaintiff had rented a house at Russell-square at 160/. a year, from Mr. Benson, who in structed the defendant, an auctioneer and broker, to put in a distress for 2401. arrears of rent due. It was alleged that Mr. Benson agreed to give time, and that against his corn , mends the defendant had ?maliciously sold the goody. The fourth plea stated, that the order given by Mr. Benson was countermanded, and that the goods were removed and sold by his direction. It was also alleged that the expenses were tendered, which the pleas denied. The Court thought the verdict upon the Ant count, for 7801., could not stand, and that the damages returned on the second count (501.) was quite sufficient to rover the whole thing. A rule nisi should tl szehre be pub 1. Rule nisi granted accordingly. THE POLICE CO URTS. GUILDHALL. Mr. Clark, the secretary to the Mutual Benefit Awocia- Ition of Oil and Colourmcn, Druggists, and Drysahers, was summoned before Alderman Lawrence under the Friendly Society's Act, to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of 20/. to the widow of William Pullen, to which, it was alleged, she was entitled by 12 monthly subscriptions regu larly ;aid into the society by her husband. l.vtdence was adduced to chow that the husband of the complainant had paid up his subscriptions regularly during • period of 12 month., by which he was entitled to receive all the benefits of the society. During that time, however, ho attended his work daily without intermission, with the exception of a few days' mace when he was attacked with rheumatism, and on a subsequent occasion when business took him to Gravesend for three or four days. lie did not report this illness to the society, as it was not of a serious nature, but continued his payments till the end of the. year, when they took from him his monthly card, and gave him a ticket acknow ledging the receipt ut the twelve monthly subscriptions, and entitling him to become a regular member of the society. A few days subsequent to his paying the last subscription, he died from an attack of inflammation of the brain, which seized him suddenly, and terminated his existence in a v er y short time after. It was contended, on the part of the society, that the husband of the complainant had no claim to any of the benefits of the society, by neglecting to report his illness, when, according to the rules, his subscriptions would have been suspended until his complete recovery, by which he would have been thrown back in the number of payments made, so that his death would have occurred before making the last payment, instead of immediately after. Ilad the rules been strictly complied with, his widow at his death would not have been entitled to any of the benefit' of the society. Alderman Lawrence said that whatever irregularity might have occurred in the payments he should overlook, as the society had balanced the accounts and given the man Pullen a ticket confirming him a member properly quell fied, thereby acknowledging that everything was regular with regard to his illness. In his opinion a slight headache or want of appetite could not be construed into a disease or ill health to warrant a report being made to the society. To render such a proceeding necessary, Le thought it must be some disorder to incapacitate the subscriber fur work. This had not been shown to be the case longer than two or three days' duration, and he would therefore make the order fur the payment of 201. and costs. Defendant then paid the costs, and made arrangements for the payment of the order. _ SOUTHWARK. Joseph Low, Charles Low, William Chishold, and Robert Baker, four medical students, were charged with creating a disturbance and breaking a table in the house of Mr. Col lins, the landlord of the Roebuck Tavern, Doverroad. It appeared that on the previous night the prisoners en tered the parlour of the Roebuck, and commenced making a disturbance, and on being told by the landlord to desist, they pushed one another about, and in the scuffle broke one , of the tables, which was supported by fancy iron work. To prevent them from committing further mischief, Mr. Cols ims called in the police and gave them into custody. The prisoners expressed their regret for having so mis conducted themselves, and offered to pay the amount of the damage done. Mr. Collins said he bad no wish to press the charge against them if they would make good the damage. Mr. Arnold—How much does it come to ? Mr. Collins replied that it would cost bun 3/. The prisoners, having paid that sum, were cautioned by the magistrate, and discharged. THAMES. John Brown, 23, well known to the police as a smasher, was charged on suspicion of causing the death of Mary Ann Jackson (a woman with whom he has cohabited fur some time) by the administration of poi -on. Sergt. Weakford stated that he saw the prisoner and the deceased woman in conversation that morning, a few minutes before one, in St. George's -street. Knowing the prisoner, he (Weakford) ordered him on, at the same time saying " You've got a fresh woman, have you not," to which the prisoner made no reply, but went away towards the Rose and Crown. He saw no more of them till a few minutes to 2, when he found the deceased lying on the step of a door in Princess-street, leading to Princess squire, and the prisoner at her side. There were several persons round her, and she appeared to be insensibly drunk. In consequence of what he was told by a woman named Lewis, he asked the prisoner if he had given the' woman any poison, or if she had taken any, to which he re plied, " ho, it's all right, take her to the station-house— she is drunk." Mrs. Lewis, who was bathing the face of i the deceased with vinegar, said, " She has taken something to drink, but will be all right soon." Payne, 198 11, who was also present, asked the prisoner if he knew the woman, to which be answered, " Yes, she is my wife." Payne then advised him to Like her home, but he refused, saying that she had taken poison. In answer to further questions, he said he was not sure she had taken poison, and if she had done so, he did not know where she got it. Seeing the woman looked seriously ill, Weakford obtained a cab, and bad her conveyed to the station, from whence, by the direc tion of Inspector Miller, she was removed to the London Hospital by Payne, but died on the way. Williams, 113 H, took the prisoner into custody, and ou the way to the station said, " Why, the woman has taken something." The prisoner answered, " There's no one that saw me give it to her to come against me." At the station he denied all knowledge of the de ceased to Inspector Miller; and on being searched, and 3s. 6d. being found on him, he said, " She gave me that." Sergeant Weakfurd made every inquiry about the neigh bourhood, and learned that the prisoner and deceased had been at the Rase and Crown. Ile proceeded thither, and examined the glasses on the counter, in one of which he found about a tea-spoonful of something similar to spruce and water. It tasted insipid, and appeared to be sweeter than sugar could make it. He took that to the London Hospital and handed it over to the apothecary. Mrs. Lewis, a married woman, residing at Princes's street, St George's ' stated, that in consequence of the nightman being at the house she was up later than usual. About two o'clock she heard bitter moans, as if some one was choking and said to her husband, "Dear me, Thomas, what horrid groan s." , Her husband said, " Oh, it's some one intoxicated, and went to bed. Hear ing the groans repeated, she went out and saw the de ceased on the next door step but one. The prisoner was also there and appeared to be treating her kindly, sayin g , " Dear Mary, what have you done, what have you taken, ' and the deceased answered, " I have done it—oh, my child." The prisoner then told her two or three times to put her two fingers down her throat to bring it up. He likewise said " Rise yourself, there's a good creature, or you'll get me into trouble." The deceased managed to walk or rather drag herself a little way further and then fell on another step. A gentleman who was passing the place asked the prisoner what was the matter, upon which the prisoner re lied , " She has taken poison enough to kill a horse." Witness bathed her face with vinegar and water, but to no purpose. The deceased's left hand was exceed ingly cold. Mrs. Welbrock, landlady of the Rose and Crown, subesquently appeared, and, on looking at the prisoner, was so agitated that she had to be accommodated with a chair and a glue of water. The prisoner, too, seemed dreadfully affected and shook from bead to foot. There was very little, however, in her evidence, and the case remains in volved in as much mystery as ever. She said the prisoner, accompanied by a woman who was apparently in a very dirty state, came to her and called fur half a quartern of gin, with which she served them. Tho woman poured it into •glass and offered it to the man, who drank a little, and than drank the remainder herself. Nothing appeared I to have been mixed with the drink, as witness had her face turned to the minim all the time. Mr. Ingham observed that it was a very mysterious af- fair altogether ; and understanding from &trent Weak fora that an inquestorould be held forthwith, remanded the prisoner, who was recognised by several officer' as having been frequently had up for smashing, until Tuesday next. THE GOLD-DUST ROBBEET.—WM. Filliplin, the p ers o n charged with being concerned in the gold dust rob bery on the South Western Railway, was again brought up before the Winchester magistrates yesterday for re-exami nation, and after hearing the evidence of Mr. Eldred, a coffee-house keeper at Shoreditch, who declared his belief that the prisoner was the man who arrived at his house the morning alter the robbery with two heavy packages, and a cabman, who likewise stated his belief that the prisoner was the man whom he had taken to the Shoreditch coffee-house from the Waterloo Station the morning after the robbery. After tha and some formal evidence had been gone through, Ilse peiaumer sou fully committed for trial at the Winchester ANOTHER FATAL SEWER ACCIDENT IN SCOTLAND TA/D.—Yesterday another dreadful accident happened in the sewer now being made in Scotland-yard, in the same 'opening sad near the spot when several men lost their lives a few months back. A man named MecarthY, who wee in the employ of the contractors, was at his nsual work whew, by lame means not yet explained he fell to the bottom of the sewer, which is about 17 feet deep, and when he was found his bead was discovered to be half embedded in the clayey bottom, and the body sad aeck doubled over. Than who were at work got him out as soon as possible ; but he wee wholly ins/sable, and conveyed directly to the Charing-cross Hospital. The house surgeon, upon examin ing the body, saw that life was quits extinct, and that the vertebra of the neck, close to the head, was almost separated MONEY MARKET. [For tAis day's City New, as 641 p...) PIIDAT EVENING. At the half.yearly meeting . of the New Zealand Company held to-day no business was done, as the meeting stood adjourned for a fortnight, pending the negotiations with her Majesty's government. In reply to a question put by Mr. Standish Motte, the chairman stated that the proposal submitted to her Majesty's government will be printed and circulated among the proprietors previous to the adjourned meeting. There was no material change in the foreign ex changes this afternoon, but the quotations of last post were fully mnintained, and the rates were even a shade higher in several cases. Short Paris was done at 25 to 3; do. 3 months, at 2z,.20 to 25. Ham burg at first found takers at 13.8, but left off sellers at that rate. Holland was again a trine higher,closing 11.18 to j. .

Bills on Naples and Sicily were exceedingly fiat, and conse quently negotiated in favour of buyers; Naples at 401 to I ; Palermo, 123 to ; and Messina, 1.231 to I. On Spain and Portugal a fair amount was nego tiated at previous rates, but on Austrian places we noticed again a decided indisposition to p urc h ase , and hardly any transactions took place, although the quotation is higher, viz., 12.50 to 55 for Vienna, and 12.53 to 57 for Trieste.

In the preceding week the amount was 3,701,2861. ; the decrease is consequently shown to be 40,8551. The note circulation of the joint stock banks during the same week was 2,932,774!., and the previous week's return being 2,937,3981., there is s decrease of 24,6241. On taking into consideration the active circulation of the Bank of England, which in the week in ques tion was 19,125,5751. (being 327,5731. less than the week preceding), we find the aggregate note circula tion of England and Wales to be 23,718,7801., which shows a decrease of 393,0.:46 as compared with the returns for the preceding week, ending the 10th of May. As regards the fixed issues, the private banks were 1,107,1051., and the joint-stock banks 477,2131., below the amount authorised to be issued, making a total of 1,584,3181. METALS. Mr. Moate's circular states that Welch bar iron continues depressed ; some small lots held by a speculator have been disposed of at 41. 65., free on I I board at Newport. In rails there arc large orders in the market, at rates which makers are not disposed to accept. —Staffordshire iron is in small demand for export, but the home trade continues good.—Scotch pig iron may be quoted at 6d. per ton in favour of the seller ; American brands, No. 1,41 s. ; mixed numbers storekeepers' warrants, free on, board, 395. 9d. The gas and water companies are availing themselves of the present low rates to make their purchases of pipes.

The chair was taken at 12 o'clock by Mr. CUAPLIN, M.P. After the reading of the notice, The CHAIRMAN said the object was, in fact, sanctioned by the proprietors on the 2.5 th of October last, but the bill having gone through the House of Commons, and being now in the House of Lords, it was necessary, in order to comply with established regulation., that the opinion of the proprietors should again be taken. As some of those pre sent might not have been proprietors last October, he would Nit state the principal facts of the ease. The South Western Company took 7,080 shares, which at 16/. per share, amounted to a subscription of 113,2801. in full. lea yet there was no return, and the present arrangement was necessary to render the investment productive. What remained to he subscribed would be taken not by calls on the Exchequer, but in the form of rails which the company had in stock. A gentleman had agreed to take a lease of the concern for seven years ; he was a person of undoubted stability, and the amount which he would pay, 12,5001. in the seven years, would give the company a net return of 21 per cent. If the property proved more productive than tho estimate, the company would have a beneficial interest in the excess. On the Leith of the previous proceedings tho Taw Vale Company bud proceeded with vigour in parlia ment, and the lirktol and Exeter Company who were also shareholders in the concern, had g o t a bill through tho House of Lord,. justifying their subveriptiou. It would be recollected that the South Western Com pany had also an interest in the Exeter and Cre diton line. That line was now becoming productive, and would be rendered still more so by the carrying out of thin arrangement. The directors di d not anticipate say objection on the part of the proprietors. It was part of the arrangement that they were not to be liable to &greater amount of calls than was necessary for the purpose he had stated. Tho Taw 'Vale line was 38 miles in length, and there were, in all, 15,000 shares. The directors had every reason to believe that the landowners would fulfil their engage ments satisfactorily. Lord Feiteseue, the great landed proprietor of the district, had brought forward his son in favour of the measure. Under these circumstances he con fident , ntly looked fur cordial sap port. The SOLICITOR then read the heads of the bill. In reply to a question from Mr. JIEOAPATII, The CHAIRMAN said the Taw Vale Company had power to put an end to the lease by giving a year's notice, and taking the working stock at a valuation. lie then moved— That the bill now read over to the meeting be approved of, and the director 4 authorised to consent to such altera tions therein as to parliament may seem meet." Mr. Serjcant tiAsEI.EE said he had been opposed to this 'scheme from the first, but, having taken the sense of the proprietors once, he should not do so again. There was ono point, howeler, on which he dt,ired some explatiation. r hey had spent about 70,0001. already, and at the last meet ing the chairman said that 30,00u1. more would he required in rails. lle would be glad to know how they had gut sad dled with the extra 13,280 f. The CHAIRNIAN said the amount of the shares was not fixed before, and parliament would not allow any reduction. Mr. Serjeant GASELLE said the direvtors gut the con sent of the shareholders previously on wrong premises The SOLICITOR observed that, by un agreement with the Taw Vale Company, this company was limited to the payment of 000/. Mr. Serjeaut OASELEE intimated his intention of op pc.ing the alteration in the House of Lords. The CHAIRMAN hoped the learned serjeant would not put the company to the expense of going back to the HOUND of Commons, which they must do if there were any anis wt. meut. lie had no hesitation in giving a pledge that no more than 30,n 00/. should be paid by the South Western Company. (near, hear ) A conversation then took place on the subject of audit, in the course of which it was observed by the Chairman that the South Western Company would, from the extent of their holding, he able to exercise the necessary control as regarded the audit of the Taw Vale accounts. Mr. Serjeant GASELEE was quite satisfied that after the vote of Wtiltiesilay last in the House of Commons railway directors would be on their best behaviour for sumo time to come, seeing that they had the rod of the govern ment hanging over them—(laughter)—but he still thought a t v r e .Mt n . t kV.lVll w" wi r igrtl ii 7o d. k2: , u n t o. !vhat price the rails were to be taken. The CHAIRMAN replied that the directors hid got s better price 01411 they but beru able to obtain iu any other quarter. The resolution was adopted, and the meeting separated.
