The nerangetnipt was • wry simple one, cud might be divided into two heads—the one enabling this company to create • preference stock in lies of the present debenture stock, such preference stock being guaranteed by the London and North-Western Railway Company, end the other portion of the bill prohibited the issue of *tech for any other parpose than the liquidation of the debenture debt created under various acts of pantie- Ment. Ile need not point out to them that the simple relieve for adepting this course had been the fact that the London and North-Western Company had consented to en done any preference stock enabling . this company to borrow money at a much lower nate of interest than they could have done in their own credit. The saving of 1 per cent. would be 111,0001. a year to them, but it was calculated that, by the arrangement proposed, they would effect a saving of considerably more than that amount. The dine ton, therefore. thought that the menses was one which must cornmeal itik It to the proprietors not only as • judi cious one on the part of the boa y man act of liberality on the part of the London and North Western Company. They hail been opposed in parliament on the part of the [Dime sbury Companies, in their desire to obtain running powers over their lines. lie was happy, however, to say that they were frustrated in that attempt, the evidence ad duced in support of the measure being of such a character as to kidney the committee (before whom the question was mired) to come to the conclusion that those companies had no reasonable ground of complaint. (Rear, hear.) Since he had hod the honour of being connected with this com pany, he bad always said that the position of the board was one of close and strict alliance with the London and North Western Railway Company. They felt that whilst that company possetied so large an amount of the capital of this company, and considering that the very object fur which this lino was constructed was the posses. aien of a through traffic to Ireland, so long as they remained in connection with the London and North Western Railway Company they should continue to pursue the same policy with regard to that company. It was not only due to that company that they should du so, but there was no other cowrie which could be pursued consistently with the interests of the present eo:npany. lie had found during his intercourse with the London and North WI,- tern Company nothing but one coneastent course of Ide ntity on their part towards this c. mpany. (Hear, hear) lie might my in respect to the second preference snick that they were indebted to that company fur a temporary loan to prevent their isnini that stock. No doubt when the time arrive' they sired.' be atee to issue it on better terms thee they could at the present moment. lie: might take this opportunity of saying, that the development of traffic oe their line was prearessing satisfactorily ; the receipts of the Lot week M ing 5501. over the amount in the cones pending week of the previous year, thus yielding an average for the year of 7,000/ in excess over the last year. They expected that in about ten days they should he ahle to carry their goods tragic to Ireland, and they were ale. led to 'when from the report of their en gineers that the line to Cementite would be ready fir go vernment inspection in ten days time, thus bringing the line into connesiou with the slate districts—a result which they were most anxieus to arrive at, as they found that the rate of orders et the quarries wee considerably beyond their means of supply. (Hear, hear.) A discussion then took place, in the nurse of which va rious questions were put to the chairman with a view to eliciting the particulars as to the exact nature of the ar rangement with the London and North Western Company. From the answers to these questions it appeared that the amount of capital in the forfeited shares was between 301.0001. and 400,000/., the shares numbering 40,000. Mr. DRTRIN inquired whether the stuck to be created was to be is perpetuity ? The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative. Mr. Durenx satd that on that ground he considered the measure a very bad one. It WS very well known that the value of money was decreasing from year to year; and in the course of time the best rate of interest would not exceed 2j per cent. lie therefore thought that the stock sheuld be made redeemable. The CHAIRMAN said their object in applying to parlia ment was to secure them a very large annual saving; and he could assure the proprieton that the London and North Western Company were pursuing a similar course. Several Proptietors exorcised a hope that the directors would endeorour to make the stock redeemable, when The Orem:tux said they considered that they had ob tained a very great bona in getting the endorsement of the London and North Western Railway upon this stock, sad although it was understood to exist in perpetuity, there wise nothing to prevent its being made redeemable at fixed periods bat at a higher rata of interest. Mr. Descrier and Mr. CSADDOCe repressed themselves satisfied as to the propriety of the measure, and the former stated that, in his opiaion, if uniting could advance the interests of the proprietor it wee the statement they had heard this Tanning. Some further conversation took place, end the chairman put the following resolution :—" That this meeting ap prove of the bill now ribmitted to them, subject to such amendments AS may be made therein by parliament." The motion was carried, and the meting separated. IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of sharehold in tWe company was held at the Loudon Tavern, Bishops gate-street; Mr. Walker in the chair. The following are the principal points of the report: — The directors meet the proprietors on this occasion with feelings of iinappointment, because the produce of the Inst sir months had still further diminished by nearly 19Ibs. of gold, se tempered with the previous half-yea, and because the Maria workings" had failed to fulfil the expectations which induced the proprietors to raise additional capital to carry on the company. The twenty . ..four heads of stamps went to work on the 16th February, and up to the 31st of March gave only 3ilw of gold. At Himont "old mine " all operations had been stopped, At Gouge Son the pro duce had been 61Ibe. los., or 161bs more than the preceding sit months ; which RiCte a balance of 6001. on its own met for the half-year. The chief expenditure was at Bansnal, from which only 151te. nos. had born obtained for the half ynr. The produce cf the two workings realised 2,9231. 10s., whilst the whole expenditure was 6,6571. 17.. lid. leaving a deficiency of 3,6:1-1/. Is. ad. on the half.yeer. The loss, however, had been Ins by 6431. fie. than in the half-year ending the 3dth of June, 1651, although the pro dum of gold was lei by 19tH. ; which chewed that the unmet economy had been practised in the expenditure. Captain Brokenshar said that he saw his way clearly to bring the hull-yearly expenditure within 6,0001. The directors had waived the receipt of salary from the 31st of Deem:ober, betels The labour form at the mines was lei by 52 men than on the 30th of June last. It had become necessary, in the absence of fresh capital, to sell 2,5001. out of the reser, eel fund, which re deiced that fund to 13,000 Below that sum the directors felt it would be most unwise and ereure to reduce the reserve fund. In order therefore to be able to go on, the directors deemed it expedient to make a call of 10s. per share, to be made payable on or before the lst of August next. The present intention of the directors was to abandon Ilananal altogether, and to remove the establishment to Oongo Soto, where [the future operations would probably be carried on exclusively, from which they hoped that a fair remuneration might be realised. The accounts showed the expeaditure for the half-year to be 11,525.'. 12s. fed, and on the 31st of Decem ber there was a balance of 1,6901. 19s. fld. The report having been adopted, a proposal was brought forward on the behalf of certain parties for the purchase of 4,500 shares, at the rate of 30e. per share from dissentient sharehelitere, or those who wished to be released from any new liabilities, with the view of gaining a sufileient majority to reorganise affairs and push operations vigorously in the locality already mentioned. It was intimated that sown verbal uceotiation had been entered upon with the St. Jolts Del Key Company respecting a portion of the property, bat' nothing very definite could be arranged. Some discussion having ensued, the resolution of the directors which fa voured the proposal was passed, and, if the purchase can be completed, a subsequent meeting will take place to supply vacancies in the board and to develop future plans. THE ItECENT Dui.L.—On Monday last a meeting of dissenters took place at Canterbury, which was nume rously attended; Mr. Austen in the chair. The leading article of the Doi' y New of the 24th inst , in reference to the duel between Mr. Smythe and Colonel Remilly, having been first read, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted. Moved by Rev. John Radium, and seconded by 11ev. Henry Crewmen "'that the deputation appointed at the OM eting of the lOth inst., to confer with the liberal candidates for the representation of this city, having elated that, in consequence of • dud between Colonel Hamill, and the Hon. 0. 8. .Smythe, they have come to the unani mous conclusion not to meet either of those gentlemen, this meeting cntinly approves of the course adopted by the deputation, and hereby relegate them from their appointment, so far as those gentlemen ore concerned."

Very mach to the surprise of all persons not immediately connected with this bill, notwithstanding the intimation on Tuesday that the further hearing was postponed till Friday, the case was proceeded with yesterday. The leading points of the we were stated In the Daily News of Wednesday. Mr. Meresether again appeared as counsel for the peti tioner, and called the following evidence : The Rer. Mr. Elrineton, formerly a colonel of the' finseds a........, ~, , he s p y . .. tsn eo he had rendered Mr. Ben , yr-- - ••nid deprture Ben nett in 'earthing for his wile, slier 0 , . - . -- mi a from Worthing, during Mr. Bennett's absence on the !hoot ing excursion in Scotland, in 1844. Mr. Bennett was in a state of the greatest anxiety about hie wife. So far as he could judge, they had always beta ea very happy terms. Ile heard that hat had scen nothing of the kind, nor bad he i tsan db :77 4 ., farm piety in the conduct of Mrs. &aunt. He did not know 31r. Touche, but had on one eceasies'ealled upon him in Great Cumberland-street on the sehliet of a letter which Mr. Touchet had written to Mr. Bennett. Ile (witness) had been consulted by Mr. Bennett as " • friend" co the malrint, and he called upon Mr. Touched fur some explana tion or satisfaction in reference to thecontents of that letter. That letter had reference to the conduct of Mr. Touchet with Mrs. Bennett. No hostile meeting took place. Mr. Farmer, of Nonsuch•park, Surrey . , proved the fact ad the visit of Mrs. Bennett to his house in 1844. Mary Ann Penna. Mrs. Bennett's maid, now and for the lest 13 or 14 years, stated that Mr. and Mrs. Bennett did not live very happily together prior to the departure in ISM. The cause of disagreement was money matters. She juiued Mrs. Bennett at Southampton on the occasion of her departure from Nuasuch-park in 1844. She, Mrs. Bennett, and Mrs. Bennett's youngest child, went together to France. Mn. Bennett assumed the name of "Bernard." From France they went to Piss. She there saw Mr. I Touchet, who came from Florence, and took apartments in the SAM! hotel. From Pisa they went to Florence and found Mr. Touchet them, but he lived at another hotel. After she and Mrs. Bennett went to Valencia, in Spain, and Mr. Touchet came there soon after, but did not live at the same hotel. After they had been about five months in that town, Mr. Bennett came. Shabelieved that they met la the street, and that Mr. Bennett assaulted Mr. Tenant with • " life-preserver." 'the local authorities interfered, eed Mr. Bennett was obliged in consequence to remain nub longer in Valencia than it was believed he in tended. Mr. Touchet went by the name of "Shirley." Mr. Bennett was in the habit of dining with Mrs. Bennett, and they walked out together. Referring to the visit paid by Mrs. Bennett to England in August last, the witness stated that they came from Boulogne to Fulkstone, and proceeded by train to the fled-hill station on the Brighton railway. On the fallowing day they went on to Horsham, accompanied by Mr. Touchet, who had joined them at Red hill. Apartments were taken at the King's Head Inn at 11. name, end they remained there all night. Next Mt. Bennett came to the inn accompanied by a geath:lanil a policeman. Winn as was present when Mr. Beam* ea* his wile. On the same day Mrs. Bennett, aecampeminil by Mr. Toucher, returned to London. In reply to masettins by the Lord Chancellor, the witness said Mr. awl lbw Bennett did not live very happily together, but were Mies quarrelling about money matters. She could not say that he was jealous of her. He might have been jealous, bat she did not know it from any particular sign. Wit ness had accompanied her master and mistress is their travels, abroad after their marriage. Mr. Touched visited them at Florence. Ile was frequently at the house when Mr. Bennett was at home as well as when he was abroad, but witness saw nothing to induce her to think that Mr. Touchet was paying improper attentions to Mtn Bennett. When Mrs. Bennett left England in 1844, wit ness had no reason to think that Mr. Bennett was pressed In money matters. When she joined her mistress at &natty ampton she thought she saw Mr. Tottelet there. Mrs. Bennett went on board the steamer with her sae, but not with Mr. Touchet, though he alto was on board when the vessel sailed. When they landed in France (she could not tell the name of the place) Mr. Tonehet went to the same hotel. Ile left anon after, and returned to London. She undressed her mistress at the hotel, and saw nothing to in duce her to thigh that improper familiarities had taken place. On their arrival in Italy, and when they were mete tied at Pin she taw Mr. Touchet again. The erten!' spoke at considerable length as to circumstances which Mt occurred during the residence of Mrs. Bennett at Pile. sad subsequently at Florence ; but there was nothing an drew that there was improper familiarity between Mr. Tenthst and the lady.

THE NEW ACT ABOUT LODGING-HOUSES. - - - John enamel, the freeholder of a house in Holborn, and of six houses adjoining in Plumtree-court, was sum moned at the iustencs of the Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London, under the City Sewers Act of 1851, for having received lodgers into three of his houses in tree-court before registering them u lodging-houses, and after having had not ic e that the health olgoer of the City had certified that the haws in question were unfit for the reception of lodgers. The summonses had been adjourned from a previous day to allow defendant to register the houses in question, ac cording to promise, but which he had neglected to do. Mr. Bused' said his defence was, that the houses did not come within the moaning of the statute to be subject to re- gistration. Alderman Cubitt inquired what houses were mentioned in the act and requiring registration ? Mr. Layton, solicitor for the prosecution, said that at line 23, page 5, section 10, it stated, "And th_ expression ' Com mon lodging-house' shall, for the purposes of this act, mean any house not being a licensed victualling house, let, or any part of which is let, at a daily or weekly rent not exceeding the rate of 30. 6d. per week, or in which persons are har boured or lodged for hire fur a single night, or fur less than • week at one time." Alderman Cubitt asked if a poor man took • house and let a room for half a crown per week, would that bring the house under the term of • common lodging house ? Mr. Layton said it oertainly would if the medical officer certified it was unfit for the reception of lodgers. Alderman Cubitt thought the lino being drawn at 3s. 6d. gave the commissioners a very wide rage, one, indeed, that would include half London. Mr. Layton said be was aware that the act conferred very extensive powers upon the comtnissionen ; but they could do nothing without the certification of the medical officer that tho houses were unfit fur occupation. Alderman Cubitt said that according to the act before him, the defendant could not receive lodgers into his houses unless ho registered them. Mr. Layton asked for en adjournment to get witnesses to prove that the houses were let out in lodgings, as he had to pay them foe their time and they were not in attendance. Mr. Russell said his client was anxious to do all that was right; but he objected to acknowledge, at once, that his houses were "common lodging-houses," as it depreciated the value of his property and lessened his own respectability by making him • " common lodging-hems keeper." Alderman Cubitt advised the deft adant to comply with the provisions of the act ; for, if he let any portion of the houses at a weekly rental of less than 3s. Gal., it would un doubttilly place bun in its power. He knew many houses, the owners of which had complied with every requirement, and yet were subject to the unpleasantness of having their , houses overhauled by the medical officer of health to tho Commissioners of Sewers. Mr. Dow said it was all done fur the purpom of preserving the public health. Alderman Cubitt said he was aware that a little evil must be borne by a few, for the general good ; but he still thought it very hard that so very many reapretable occu piers should be subject to the intrusion of a public otfi,er. Mr. Layton agreed with the alderman, and remarked that the power complained of was always exercised with the ut most discretion. The I were ordered to stand over for a week. WORSHIP-STREET. John Young, a well•dremed man, was charged, before Mr Hammill, with having violently assaulted a young woman named Jane Ward, in the service of a family rending in the Old-street-road. The complainant, a modest looking young person, who exhibited marks of severe recent ill-treatment, Stated that the defendant had occupied apartments for sometime past in her master's house, and that on the preceding evening, while she was engaged in one of the lower rooms, a young man, who had called to visit him, suddenly entered and handed her a small book, which he said the defendant had desired him to offer for her perusal. Sho expressed her obligations for his attention but fi nding, UOOO examining the volume, that it was a p roduotion of the most immoral and infamous description, she felt so greatly incensed at his subjecting her to such an-insult, that she instinctively tore it up and threw it into the fire. Defendant shortly after wards made his appearance, and having requested her to re turn the work, she upbraided him with his disgraceful con duct in placing such a book in her bands, and on telling hint that she had destroyed it, he commenced assailing her with opprobrious and threatening epithets, which he fol lowed up by a violent personal attack and struck her repeated blows in the face, from the effects of which she hall been in extreme pain ever since. She was at length reusned from further ill-treatment by her master, who im mediately sent for a policeman and gam the prisoner into mailedyi The master of the girl fully corroborated the latter per den 4b evidence, and stated that he was present at the Mal the publication in question was sent down to his ser um! by the defendant ; bat not being at all aware of the alieminable nature of its contents, he did not feel himself GAM apes to interfere, as he otherwise should have done, toe peeleat her from such an outrage. L mower to the charge, the defendant declared that it was his friend and not himself who had forwarded the of deleive production to the complainant, hut admitted bar ing subsequently assaulted her, as ho felt exceedingly ex asperated rimuP,:iltZiVit th at considered h tl a c d re d dlro ye d i c i f t indant had been guilty of a most disgraceful and cowardly outrage, and he should order him to pay the full penalty of 5/., or to be committed, in default, fur two months to the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Police-constable Stolid, C 156, who stood charged with taking money from foreign West-end prostitutes, yesterday appeared to :earn the magistrate's decision on the evidence in rapport of the charge. Mr. Bingham said it appeared to him, after careful consi deration, that the evidence in support of the charge was Sot sufficiently trustworthy to justify a conviction. In tho pre. •ent case the accused said, she gave refreshments and two' half-crowns to the constable in a public-house in the immediate neighbourhood of the court, and that the refreshments were supplied by a female attendant. Neither that attendant nor any other person had been called from that public-house, although close at hand, to prove so much even as the presence of the policeman on the occasion in question, or on any occasion. The absence of such corro boratiou, which, if the policeman bad been there, it would not have been difficult to procure, threw so much doubt upon the statement of the accuser and her sister prostitute, that no jury could with safety find the accused guilty, nor anharistrate venture to convict. defendant was then discharged. 1108PITAL TOR CONSUMPTION, &c., RROMPTON.— Yesterday, the annual general meeting of this institution was held in the Board Room of the Hospital, at Bromptou, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee, and electing the officers for the year ensuing. The Rev. Sir U. Poulin, Bart., presided. The honorary secretary, P. Rose, Esq., tend the report of the committee, which was described as the 11th annual report. It stated that the put year h.d been moat remarkable for the increased prosperity of the charity. During the past year 474 patients had been ad mitted to the hospital, of whom 318 had been discharged, 68 had died, and 90 now remained. The number of out patients had been 3,197, being an increase of 136 ' over the preceding year. In IMO the expenditure had exceeded the income by 7001., when the gross receipts amounted to 4,7631. Bs. ad. Last year they had increased to 8,9821. 17s. There was a very marked and general increase, not only in the annual subscriptions, but also in the produce of the charity sermons arising from the institution having hes-ante duly appreciated. The reduction in the expendi ture had been 608?. Use. id. ; in the medical officers' depart ment no less than SOO/.

For the Sanatorium about to be established at Bournemouth, and which was to be in connexion with the hospital without involving its fund, an eligible site of three acres of land had been se lected, and to which purpose it was recommended that the removal of the defunct Madeira fund, 230/. 6s. should be appropriated. A legacy of 2,0001. had been received from the executors of the late E. Briggs, Esq. They were recommended to be life governors, and it was further suggested that, in respect to the Iter. Deacon Morrell, a ward be established, to bo called the Morrell Ward; and also that the proposal of the sisters of the late W.

The plaintiff in compliance with this agreement withdrew his opposition to the bill, sad the company ultimately obtained their act. The company afterwards abandoned the inten tion of argils; the rine actually through the plaintifrs land ; but, the limit of their deviation allowing it, proposed to construct the line by means of en open cutting imme diately adjoining the plaintiff's land. The Vice.Cluutoellor had restrained the company from constructing their pro- posed line otherwise than by a tunnel, on the ground that the consideration of their agreement with the plaintiff was, that it should not be so constructed as tolbc an eyesore to the plaintiff's manioc, and that this stipulation was in substance violated by them, notwithstanding that the pro posed line was not intended to pass actually through land of the plaintiff's. It wes contended by counsel for the de fendants, the appellants, that the agreement entered into with the plaintiff applied only to the ease of their construct ing the line over the land of the plaintiff, and not to that of their constructing it elsewhere within the limits of the de viation allowed to the company by their act. Mr. Melina and Mr. Shoe, contra, for tho plaintiffs, who were appellants, contended that the spirit of the contract — 'timely, that the line should net be constructed so es to be an eyesore to the mansion house of the plaintiff, was vio lated by the mode of construction proposed to be adopted by the defendants.

PROSSER E. NOURISOX.—INPRINOZMENT OP PATENT. — INJUNCTION. In this ease • motion was made es parte on the first day of term for an injunction to restrain the defendants, Messrs. Mambos, Dillon, and Co., of Fore-street, from infringing plaintiff s patent for manufacturing buttons from a Ilkosakol substance which, when baked, resembled fine agate. His Honour then refused to grant an injunction, bet gave leave to give that notice of motion in accordance with which the case now came on. It appeared that de fendants had before infringed the patent, and on proceed ings being taken against them had submitted to a judge's order admitting the validity of the patent until it was inva lidated by further proceedings. These proceedings, how ever, had not taken place, and plaintiff had discovered that defendants had been importing buttons of a similar kind (rem Paris, and selling them for export to Jamaica, and the present motion was for an injunction to restrain defendants from thus infringing the patent, which extends to tho co lonies. After tho case had been before the court some time, • compromise was come to by which defendants under took not to infringe the patent, and to pay • portion of the costs, and a decree was made for an account, and restrain ing defendants from selling in this country, or exporting therefrom, or otherwise dealing with any buttons manufac tured according to plaintiff's patent, defendants paying tho costs us to and inclusive of the 25th of May. THE Doss OF v. CONNELL AND °PIERRE. This was an application made on the part of the Duke of Buckingham, the Marquis of Chandos, and others, for the appointment of a receiver with the usual directions of the estate of the late Lord Nugent. At the time of the death of the late Duke of Buckingham, Lord Nugent was in debted to him in the sum of 6,6211. 15e. Ild. The present duke brought an action for this sum, and a judge's order was obtained by consent that final judgment should he entered up, Lord Nugent In the meanwhile paying four per cent. on the debt. In 1650 Lord Nugent was desirous of borrowing money on his estate, and to do this it was ne cessary ts get rid of the judgment. He entered into com munication with the Marquis of Chandos, and an arrange ment wax made that satisfaction should be entered up on the existing judgment, and that another judgment should be obtained, and that tho estates should be equitably charged with the debt and costs. Satisfaction of the judg ment was accordingly entered up, and an action was brought, and a judge's order obtained on the 2nd of Nov., 1860, to enter up final judgment ; but an agree ment was made that execution should not issue until after the death of Lord Nugent, except interest at 4 per cent. was not paid within twenty-one days after it became due. A deed was also executed on the 20th Nov., 1650, by which Lord Nugent covenanted with the Marquis of Chandos that he would pay interest on the amount due from him at 4 per cent. Lord Nugent died on the 26th Nov., and there fs now on arrest of two years' Interest. The defendants, who had entered into possession of the estates, had refused to pay the interest, and hence the pre sent application. The Master of the Bolls said the application for • re ceiver must be granted as • matter of course, but without • to any prior mortgage, if any. DOOM VIMCNANCTLIOR &a Oman. Trees. Tax Dunn or Nonroxt e. Tatenster. Sir William Page Wood and Mr. Ellison, on behalf of the plaintiff, moved for en injunction to re train the de fendant from proceeding to arbitration for the purpose of obtaining compensation under the Lands Cleo( s Consolida tion Act, for damage alleged to have been done to his brewery by the building of the Sheffield market, of which the plaintiff wee the proprietor. The damage complained of arose from the exclusion of the light end air. It ap peared that DOM time ago the defendant had given smother notice, claiming compensation for damage done by the building of the market—first, in respect of the temporary obstruction in the road leading to his premises while the building was in progress; secondly, in respect of the per manent narrowing of the road ; and, thirdly, in respect of the obstruction to the light and air caused by the height of the building. An injunction had been granted reetraiaing the defendant from proceeding under this notice, on the ground that he had already aecepted compensation in respect of the two first heads of cla im , and that as the notice could not be severed, he could not proceed under it for the third head of damage. In consequent* of that decision, the present notice had bete given, by which the defendant claimed 14,0001. as compen sation. It wee new contended on behalf of the plaintiff that it was not competent for the defendant to give a fresh notice ; that the compensation already received by the de fendant was intended to cover all damage of every descrip tion, and was so accepted by him ; and that, if not, he had stood by, knowing what was going to be done, and could not now complain. Mr. Rolt and Mr. Speed eppeared for the defendant. The VioeChancellor said he thought the injunction should not be granted. The question was one of contract between the parties, which must be determined at the hear ing of the cause. That the proper course would be for the defendant to undertake, in the event of his proceeding with the arbitration, not to proceed upon the award made, without the leave of the court, the plaintiff undertaking to bring into court the amount awarded (if anything), by the arbitrator, within a week after the award was mWe. This course wee acceded to by both sides. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—YesTERDAy. , thermos ur Basco.—Barone Caw Items June, Ha. Junes Marl; Ma. ROUX OillaMitt.L. AND Ma. Amines taLromana. DAIRY V. THE INDIA AND LONDON INSURANCE COMPANY. —IMPOUTANT QUESTION OP Levi ASSURANCE. This was an action on a polity of assurance for 1,0001. effected with the defendants upon the life of the late Duke of Cambridge, and at the trial before Mr. Justice Creswell in Middlesex during the sittings after last Michaelmas term, a verdict was entered for the plaintiff bat leave was given to move fora nonsuit or a verdict for the defendant. In the coarse of Hilary term a role was obtained pursuant to this leave, and the cue now came before the court upon CSR'S being shown against this rule beiir! made absolute. The case was one of considerable importance to persons interested in life assurance, and it arose out of the follow ing circumstances. In the year 11143, the Her. Mr. Wright effected policies to the amount of 8.0001. in the Anchor office upon the life of the Duke of Cambridge. The prac tice of insurance offices is not to incur too large a risk upon any one life, and in accordance with this principle, the plaintiff; as secretary to the Anchor office, effected the policy sued upon, in order to lencil the liability of his own com pany. In 1848, the Rev. Mr. Wright surrendered his policies in the Anchor as part of the consideration for an annuity during the lives of himself and hie wife ; but not withstanding the surrender of Mr. Wright's policies, the Anchor Company continued their policy in the defendants' company until the death of the Duke of Cambridge, when they claimed the amount of it. The defendants, however, objected to pay it, upon the ground that the Anchor Company having received the sur render of the policies upon which they were liable, had no insurable interest in the duke's life, and were not entitled to recover the amount of the policy in the defend'ants' com pany. The 14th George 111 , cap. 48, prok,bited the effecting of insurances upon lives in which the parties in suring had so "i tile interest," on the ground that such a practice led to nsiwhievous gaming, end under this set the question now arose. Theiwineipel point, however, was the declaim which had been vets is the case of tt God sell v. Bolden)" (2 Rmith's Lead ing Cases). In that rase the plaintiff insured tho life of the Right Hon. Wm. Pitt, who owed him 8001. Shortly after Mr. Pitt's death, the Earl of Chatham and the Bishop of Lincoln, his executors, paid the debt, and Mr. Godson also claimed the amount 01 his policy from the ins aaaa re office, but as this claim ass resisted an action was brought. The court held then, that a policy of insurance was simply a " contract of indemnity," and that Mr. Godull having n eeived the plaintiff's debt, on account of which he had elf( cted the policy, had no lose to be indemnified for, end mild not recover. The court in the tonne of the argument suggested that, as the amp at " Godson v. lkildero" hurl been acted upon as good law for many year., it was not that they should be called ulna to rescind it, and it timated that it was advisable that do present came should go at once to tbs Cleat et lam In eimardasoi with this evocation the comma agreed that a speeial verdict should be framed, in order to take the opinion of a higher tribunal upon the subject, and defini tively settle the question of what the law ie.

COTTON.—Lyszaroot, Mar 27.—The sales of cotton to-day are estimated at 12,000 bales, of which 1.000 are taken fur export and 5,000 on specahstion. The chief por tion are American as usual, the remainder include 5001 Pension and Maranham at 614. to 71d. ; 100 Bahia, at 6id. to 1114.; 300 Egyptian, 64_d. so lid. ; and 600 Surat, at 31d. to sp. The market closes tamely but firmly. Prices of the current qualities of American are nearly Id. per lb. dearer than on Friday ; all other sorts are against tba buyer. Brazils are id. per lb. dearer, and Bea Islands 0.1 to Id. for the fortnight. NANCRESTER, Mar 27.—Much the same feeling per vades the cotton, yarn, and cloth market, bat mesas pressing orders have compelled buyers to operate, and on the whole we have had rather an improved business. In yarns, spin ners have in some caws obtained the advanced prices sought on Monday; but, except in some of the wider printing cloths, manufactured pods have not advanced. u' • 27,—The colonial„ L i e s a t Hall Commerce contin ue to be exceedingly well at thewHoolLor—tono,;. itT at tended, and prices •are a shade higher than at their com mencement. The Port Phillip wools are in much better condition than usual, and the owners aro well rewarded for the pains they have taken with their flocks this last season. A considerable part of these choice wools has been taken by French and German buyers, and the competition between them and our English manufacturers is most spirited. Every description of wool has experienced a very considerable advance upon the prices of the last public salts in February, as we predicted would be the case some ten or fifteen days since. The improved value of wool may be accounted for in many ways. The deputation from York shire to the government respecting the sending of shepherds and shearers to Australia to secure the next clip bad caused many to fear short supplies, and this, together with the known fact that our manufactures are in a healthy state, and hold very small stocks of the manufactured article as well as the raw material, and the general belief that wool has seen its lowest, added to the brisk demand from France, is sufficiently explanatory of the rive. German wools have also met with a ready sale lately, and the market has been pretty well cleared of everything under 2s. 3d. her lb. 'There have also been several sales of Odessa wools, and the market for every description of foreign wool has shown more animation than has been observed for some time past. BRADFORD, May 26.—The advanced prices realised at the colonial wool sales now progressing in Loudon have contributed to improve the firmness of tone which has characterised the English wool market for some time previous. We cannot, however, report any decided ad vance of price in wool generally here, and the favourable change appears to extend no further than that most classes of good wool can be readily sold at the full quotations of the previous week or two. Any further advance is firmly re sisted by spinners, and their poeition certainly does not warrant the slightest being conceded. Short wools and nulls are a good sale, at firm rates.—Bradford Observer. IdANUFACTURES.—BRAIWURD, May 27.—The yarn and piece mukets continue much the same as reported for porno weeks put; the demand is steady, but there is no improvement in prices.—/bid. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. NOTTINGHAM, May 27.—A considerable change is farther extending in the bobbin-net trade. This has brought on a temporary sus pension in the employment in some of the factories manufac turing cheap goods, but those that have persevered in making sound and properly wrought lace and nets, are rewarded by their machines being well employed. The making laces with extra twist, so as it will bear the wash-tub, will most proba bly increase the demand, ere long, of at least one-third. The cotton hosiery branches, though contending with diffi ' culties are in a very fair condition. The drawer and pan taloon (aa we stated it would when it was in the most de putised condition) has much recovered. The round frames ere extending in some quarters, but in the others the average is the case. These frames are better calculated for making fancy hosiety than the common frame, and there is little doubt, when they adopt Thomas's patent, that they will eventually supersede the loom, as the frame will make a superior sad cheaper artiele.—Notts Review. CORN.-Ilinstgonme,, MAY 27.-At Gloucester and Worcester market., on an 22nd, wheat wu the turn dearer; the trade howncet ruled dull. Barley rather lower. Oats maintained their value, with a fair retail de mand. Beans somewhat higher. Duriug the present week the weather has continued cold fur the season ; and for the little wheat 'hewn, fully as high prices have been de ' mended. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, an advance of 6d. to Is. per quarter was realised. Grinding barley sells for quite as much money. Oats are offering at a decline of 6d. per quarter, without finding buyers to any extent. Beans continue scarce. At this day's market, there was an increased supply of wheat, for which higher prices were asked, but the trade cloud dull, and we make no alteration in our quotations. Barley unaltered.

BRISTOL, MAT 27.-The supply of English wheat at to day's market was moderate, while there was • fair oon compile. demand. This circumstance, coupled probably with the fact of the weather basing been somewhat broken, caused business to assume a firmer tone. English wheat was from 6d. to Is. per quarter dearer, and the finer quail- ties of foreign brought likewise fully Gel. per guarter mere money. There was a better business doing in flour, and prices were firmer, although no quotable advance nook place.' There was; little or nothing doing in molting barley, but grinding and distillery parcels were in fair request, and an improvement of Gd. per quarter was submitted to.
