Kaki) intelligence. crown to revoke at the end of .3 years. The question before the court arose out of the no compliance with toe requisition as to the payment of 50,000'. The defendants made two objections to the course adopted by the prose cutor. Firstly, that issuing • Icier fieias was not the proper course to pursue, inf"amuch as the requirements in the char ter were not conditions, upon the non.fulfilment of which the letter patent became void ; and secondly, that even it they were ouch condition the proceedings ought to be, ac cording to the frame of the proviso, not by *tire ferias but in the first instance by either an absolute or modified revo collo& of the charter as her Majesty might think fit. With respect to the first objection, it appeared, having regard to the authorities, and looking to the words of the charter itself, that the requirements were certainly conditions, upon default of compli er.ce with which the charter might be uncoiled upon proceedings by wire facial. The letters patent used the very words "subject to the conditions herein contained," which could only infer to those requi sition'', one of which, it had been found by the jury, had not been complied with. Then as to the second objection, that the crown could not proceed by scire facies, upon the sug gestion of • non compliance, without first exercising the power reserved of annulling under the great seal or sign manual, such a course would require that the act should be done first, and that then the truth of the ground upon which that act was done should be inquired into. It could not be supposed that such an unusual mode of procedure entered into the minds of those who framed and assented to the charter. It was also urged, as another point, that by the introduction of the special clause of revocation, the crown had divested itself of i's right under a seire (arias. But there seemed no ground for such an objection. The charter only gave to the crown a further power of proce dure, so that the letters patent might either be annulled by the special authority reserved in them, or in the ordinary way. The learned judge was therefore of opinion that the rule should be discharged. Mr. Justice Coleridge was of opinion that the rule should be made absolute. his lordship then gave the substance of those parts of the charter already adverted to, us to the amount of capital to be subscribed and paid up before com mencing businev, and the eertifie Ate of the three direvors to be given. Ile then said that the letters patent after wards provided that if those requirements should not be fulfilled, or if the company should fail to enter into and lodge the deed of settlement with the proper officer within the time therein limited, it should be lawful for her Majesty to revoke the said letters patent either absolutely or with qualifications. Then followed the provision for putline an end to the charter at the termination of 21 years. The jury having found one of these requisitions not complied with, the question was whether or no judgment could pass, unless her Majesty, by writing under the great seal or sign manual, should declare her pleasure to revoke the charter. The learned judge did not rely upon any distinction that might be set up hetween conditions and provisions. The real matter before the court was to con-ider the true mean ing of the whole instrument. Whatever might have been the rule in past times and in a different state of society, as a general principle in the present day the rule for construing the grant of the crown did not differ materially from that for construing the grant of • subject. Truly, it the grant were obtained from the sovereign by' misinforming him, then that fact would vitiate it. But hero there was no imputation that the grant had been im properly obtained. It was plain that in this instrument' at was the intention of the crown to reserve • special power of revocation. Thus, the charter was absolute and for ever in the first instance ; but it was, nevertheless, provided that it might be revoked at the end of 21 years. The power of revocation is agaia either absolute or qualified ; all this tends to show the intention of the crown to reserve to itself especial powers in the grant of these letters patent. On the other aide, it has been argued that the special power was cumulative to the ordinary power of annulling by wire helm. But this line of reasoning could not here be cor rectly applied. A remedy could only be said to be cumula tive where it was applicable to a case in addition to an other. This was a case In which there were two separate re medies for the same thing, and if one were applied, then the other could not be. It wu a ease of election, not of cumulation. The permission of the Attorney -O 1 that the seine facies might issue could not be taken as an expres. sion of the will of the crown. It appeared, therefore, that the letters patent provided • certain eal course to be followed, and therefore that the proce edings by wire fames did not apply in this case. The rule oug ht, therefore, to be made absolute. Lord Campbell was of opinion that the rule ought to be discharged. His lordship then went over the chief parts of the clauses of the letters patent in reference to the subscription and payment of capital, and the certificate of the three director& lie continued : the wire facies contains a suggestion that the said sue of 50,0001. had not been paid, and that, neverthekue, label been certified by three of the directors of the said sap, &hely and untruly, that the said sum had been so pild - up, although it had not been paid up, as the said Menem well knew. The defendants, by their fifth plea, that the said sum had been so paid up, ni by their 10th plea that it was so paid up when the eompany commenced business. The issues on these pleas had been found by the jury for the crown, and their verdiet was not ouestioged. The judg ment was sought to be arrested only because the mire mein, was said to be an improper mode of procedure. There seemed to be no doubt but that, without the special pro vision to the charter, it would have been competent to the Attune - General , or to any private person with the At torney-General's fiat, to proceed by 'cite facies to cancel the letters patent ; for, according to all the authorities cited at the bar, sells facies would issue upon breach of • condition. The pat meat of the sum of .50,0001. was such a condition. But it bad bean very powerfully argued by the defendant's counsel, Mr. Crowder, that the scire facies could not issue until after the revocation of the letters patent, and that this wire keen was defective on that ground. According to this 'the court wax called upon to say that the crown, by a pro vision inserted for increasing its powers, had imposed upon itself the necessity of not proceeding by wire facial with out first revoking the charter. But to ascertain the force of this argument, the value of the wire facies must itself be considered. Although ha (Lordeampbelll had had the honour of holding the position of Attorney-Oenenl far seven years, he had not relied upon his recollection, but had searched into the authorities and text-writers upon the subject ; but, I w-cording to the law as laid down in Mr. Hindmarsh's work, and Mr. Campbell Foster's book, and Sir C. Macdo nald's ease, in the statute of 11 & 12 Vie., and in Mr. Webster's patent cases, the argument of the defendants could not be sustained. Again, suppose the defendants so exercised their powers as to cause an interruption in the friendly relations between this country and some foreign power, would not the writ of scire facies issue then ? He certainly felt bound to believe that the special provision did not take away the ordinary right of procedure in this or any other instance. His lordship therefore concurred with Mr. Justin Wightman in thinking that the rule ought to be discharged. Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Erie being of • contrary opinion, the rule must drop. A writ of error might be brought for the settlement of the question. The contrary opinion, runtimes found in the books, that a writ of error could not be brought where the court was equally divided, was undoubtedly incorrect. Judgment fur the crown. RAWLINSON 0.

Mr. tinily concluded hie arguments in this case for the defenil.,nt; ..A 31r. Paskiese and Mr. !ledge wire lit rd on the some ride... Mr. Bolt re tied. The Vice-Chancellor said them were two parts of this in junction—first, it was asked that the defendants might be restrained Irma ming, or authorising the Great Northern Of any other railway to use the plaintiffs' statien at Note tinghem ; and seeondly, to restrain them from running en gines which have not becu inspected. As to the first, I must see whether the plaintiffs hove any legal right, and, if so, how far this court will interfere to assist it ; aa to the mussel, I hove already said that some injunction must be granted. 1 may have my own view of the object which has induced the pl.untiffs to aptly for this injunction, but still if they have a right, and the defendants have resisted it, as they clearly have up to the tiling of this bill, the right must be entureel. The defendants iusist on the extreme intent. /moieties: that will arise; but the plain answer to that, is, that the legol iture has given the right, and, if it is so very letr-invenient, it will no doubt soon bat broaght before the /notice of th- legislature. Tht Railways Clauses Aet, 8 Vie. c. 20, 1.115, enacts that " no engine shall be brought or used on the r iiiway ousts the same shall have been first ap proved of by the company, and within fourteen days after notate given to the company by any party desirous of bring tag such engine on the railway, the company shall cause their engineer to examine such engine, at any place within three miles of the railway, to be appointed by the owner, and to report thereon to the company; sad, within seven days aim such report, if the engine shall be proper to be used un the railway, the company shall give a certificate of their approval." Its clear that this was not complied with, as to the two engines which the railway have taken possession of, and therefore the company haven right to restrain the use of them ; but I think the company must undertake to give their certificate as soon as they can, and as the engines arc already in their custody, the 16 days' notion cannot be required. With respect to the 5 engines which have been running on the line, the provision cannot be taken to apply. It must he presumed that the com pany have done their duty, of inspecting those engines, and by the letters written by them to the defendants, and set out in the bill, they state that they do not consider the pro wisi.n to apply to them ; therefore, on that branch, the in junction will be to restrain the defendant. from using any other engin., except those live, until such engine has been duly certified. Then comes the question, aa to the first branch of the injunction. That is askese for in several ways. First, It is laud, the defendants ought to be restrained from using the plaintiffs' station at all ; and neat, that at all events they ought to be restrained from using it for any trathe hoolei d through, under an arrangement with the Great Northern Company. If they had no legal right to use the station at all, I should have no difficulty, but I cannot come to that conclusion. I give no positive opinion es that point. It is enough to say, that it is not clearly made out that they have no such right. As far as the matter depends on the General Railway Act; I should have great doubt. That act makes it lawful for any person, upon payment of tolls, tense the railway ; but it says nothing about the statism, and though the interpretation clause says that " railway" shall include works authorised to be COO- Wanted ;" yet, such interpretation must be taken in con tumelies with the rest of the set. And it seems unreasonable whoa the act gives no compensation for use of the station, and Only • toll of so much per mile for the use of the line, that that sh .uld be held to include the use of the most expensive part of the works. A person may get land and build a station, and the act gives him power to lay down rails to communicate with the line ; and it is not neceteary therefore, that he should have the use of the station. 1 think therefore the matter is dotabttia. Then looking at the special act, that appears to me to be more in favour of the defendants. It contains provisions as to set- tling the terms on which the station was to be used, if the parties differed, *high seem quits unnecessary icthere was no right of using it at all. But then, when we come to the agreement between the companies, and which is set out in the bill, that again seems to point the other way, and to take it fur i ran•eil th ,t the defendants had no legal right. Then, if they had no legal right, and the matter stands on the agreement end the award made by Mr. Glyn, the question comes to whether the terms settled by that award are at an end. Now only two things were left to be settled by that award, namely, bow mash was to be paid for pas *eager traffic and how much for goods traffic. And it is said by the plaintiffs, that that award was only to be Wad ing s.. long as the companies were working reciprocally for mutual advantage. And as the defendants are not now working for the benefit of the plaintiffs, but have entered into traffic engagements with a beside com pany, the award must be considered as no longer binding. But it must be remembered that the agreement contains no stipulation against the defendants entering into agreements with other companies, and at the time it was made the Great Northern Act was passed, and tha plaintiffs must have foreseen that the defendants would have the opportu. airy of working in connexion with the Great Northern, or any other competing line, and they m4ht have protected themselves from it by a special clause. I sauna, therefore, say that the legal right ia clear, and if that is so, I must look at the balance of inconvenience, and in that respect there is no comparison. If Ido not grant the injunction, the injury to the plaintiffs, supposing them to be in the right, may be compensated; but, supposing I grant the injunction, I must stop the whole of the defendants' traffic, and do irreparable injury to them. Oa this branch, therefore, I mast refuse the injunction. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-YESTERDAY. &moos la Lisa.—ftroaa Loan C.asirsu.s. Ma. hence Cow. aux% Ma. Jeuncs Wsoirriug. AND Ma. Joirrice Elms.

Subsequently a rule was obtained, calling upon the prosecutor to show taunt why judgment should not be arrested, on the ground tha: proceedings by mire facia were improperly taken. The rule having been argued, the court nowdelivered judgment. Their lordships differing in opinion delivered judgment se riatim ; commencing with Mr. Justice Erie, who said in Wiens the prosecutor coo tended that the lettere patent granted to the defendants had become void, because the direction Ikeda attained, that the company abash!' set esimmease beams until it was cortiSed by tame Oral= that a muftis portion of the ca pital amosatlei to 50,000/. had been wabseribed, had not been properly emnpaed with ; the jury having found that 60,0001. had net bees pain up wises the company began business. The Been palest lamorperating the company declared that the pewits hem*, the corporation should not begin busies= use it was certified by three directors that the tent at 12.11001. had been paid up. It la then provided_ (leaf, me the corporation shall not comply with the dhiene therein unstained, it should be lawful for the Somata by nay writing under the great seal or sign manual to revoke the said charter, either absolutely or under such conditions as she might think fit ; and that after 21 yeah It should be lawful for the Sovereign to make void the rimier or to modify the same. Mending to the prosecutor's construction the char ter became void upon the noa-oompliance with any direc tion therein contained, and without any revocation under the great 'eel or sign manual. But this construction was contrary to the words of the charter, and if effect was to be given to these words, this construction seamed to be mate sable. The prosecutor also alleged that the legal conse quence of the provision for annulling under the great seal Of sign manual wee to make the charter revocable at the will of the crown, and that the permission of the Attorney- General to imue airs facia was conclusive that the crown led proceeded to revocation. But this argument war un supported by authority that the consent of the Attorney- General to the issuing of the writ was evidence of the will of the crown to revoke. If, upon any proceedings, the question of the will of the crown to revoke came before a court, and evidence of the permission of the Attorney-General to Sir James Brooke for the issuing of this ache hens was offered, that would be no proof of the will of the Sovereign. The judgment of the court upon a stirs funs must be absolute, and if for the prosecutor the letien patent would be absolutely uncoiled; thus the dis cretionary power contained in them would be rendered Immolating. if the other parts of the charter were ens mine-1 they would be found to weans the view taken by the deteutante.

Mr. Creasy moved for a rule to show cause why a prohi bition should not issue, restraining the Ilbhopof Chiehester from taking any further proceedings in a cause tried in the Coasistory Cour'. of Chichester, upon the ground that this was a cause in which the bishop, who was the judge, con curred in the suit, and bad guaranteed the cost of it. The action was for the perturbation of the right to a pew. The citation was served in October, 1851, and the libel admitted in proof upon the 12th of November. The practice of the ecclesiastical court permitted a suit to be removed, either by the bishop or the promoter, from the court of the dio cesan into the Arches Court. This suit, however, had not been removed, and on the 4th of August last the exa mination of witnesses was published. In this ear mination• there was an answer to an interrogatory, in which the promoter stated that he had laid the whole circumstances before the bishop, who had concurred in the steps he had taken and guaranteed the costs, as he wished to put (tom, the practice of buying, selling, and letting pews.

Ccaninwoun L&w. lox?* v. DOYLII. This was a proceeding under the Small Debts Act, men tioned on a former occasion in this journal, and disclosed soma extraordinary circumstances. Originally the de fendant, who is a clerk in the Post-office, was proceeded against for two years' rent tithe charge, amounting to 16e., and the law expenses attendant on the claim until the'present summons was taken out had reached about 261. The tithe renrcharge was made by the Rev. Mr. Dalton, the rector of Lambeth, and his collector had called for the money. Some time afterwards proceedings were taken, as a distress could not, it was said, be levied, and the costs were 121. 12s. 6d. Further thud elapsed, and • writ of possession was executed to get possession, and subsequently pourssion was again giver. to the defendant in order that he might make an arrangement with his landlord. The defendant paid 21. 10s., and gave a promissory note to Mr. Jones, who was attorney for the Rev. Mr. Dalton in the proceeding, for 161. 101., which he was to pay by quarterly instalments of 2L When the fint quarter's payment wee due the defendant informed him that he had put his affairs into the hands of an attorney to effect an arrangement. Mr. Jones then sued him in one of the superior courts, and the elsim, deducting the 21. 10s. paid, was nnw 241 Ls., and all arising out of a tithe rent charge of 16s. It was insinuated by Mr. Jones that the defendant was a Roman catholic, and had perhaps made a vow not to pay it. The defendant admitted that he was a Roman catholic, but denied that it was a religious matter with him. The defendant's salary was 2001. • year, and he had various presents to make and to support memben of his family. The Rev. Mr. Dalton was called by the defendant, and stated that there were about 1,700 persons paying the tithe rent charge, and he had to look after more than 20,000 persons. He had put the proceedings into the hands of the collector and Mr. Jones, and was satisfied with the forbear ance they showed to parties. The great fault in this case was that the small claim bad not been paid, and the de fendant allowing the proceedings to go on. He bad been anxious that the matter should be settled, and the defendant said the rev. gentleman had offered to give 61. Mr. Wearing, the collector, said it was necessary to make an example, and the defendant from his conduct was thought to be a proper party. Mr. Ernest Reed contended on the part of the defendant that he bad been cruelly oppressed by Mr. Jones, and hoped the court would make no order for the enormous end extravagant costs, but simply for the rent tithe charge doe in the first instance. Mr. Commissioner Law gave his opinion on the several proceedings as he commented on the facts. He did not consider that Mr. Jones had acted in the manner described by the learned counsel, u the dates showed. Mr. Dalton had left the matter in the hands of persons in whom he could place confidence, ss he was compelled to do, while he attended to his more important duties. The mode of pro ceeding was pointed out by the act, and it had been adopted. His Honour reviewed the evidence and exone rated all parties from harsh conduct. He made an order for 21. to be paid by Monday week, and 2/. a quarter (which the defendant had .himself proposed), until the 241. ls. was paid. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION•HOUSE. W. Burt" who was examined on the previous day upon charges of having obtained money from two carriers, named Kipping and Roberts, under false pretences, was brought up for final examination. James O'Connor, of the H division of the Metropolitan Police, said: I have been nearly seven years on duty in the Tower, and am acquainted with every person there. I know nothing of the prisoner. He was not living in the Tower in August or September last. If he had a room of Foods or any goods in the Tower to remove I should know It. It is our duty to take observation of everything of the kind, and no room in the Tower can be let without the knowledge and sanction of the governor. I saw the prose cutor Kipping produce at the Tower the letter which he said the prisoner had given to him to keep as containing an order upon Samerset-house for 451. 10s. 4d., and I heard him describe the prisoner. The Lord Mayor—Prisoner, do you wish to say anything in answer to these charges ? The prisoner —No, I have nothing to say against either of them. It was stated that there were many other victims, but that they were so laboriously employed they would suffer great inconvenience by being obliged to appear. The Lord Mayor fully committed the prisoner for trial, and directed that proofs of his former conviction as a felon should be brought forward at his trial. BOW-STREET. Mary Aim Limehowe, an elderly woman, who obtained her living by selling play-bills outside the Lyceum Theatre, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, for obstructing the public footway. Mr. Bennett, the box book-keeper of the theatre, stated that Mr. Charles Mathews, having resolved to abolish the practice of vending bills in the streets, gave notice of his intention to refuse any farther supply from the printers for that purpose. Consequently, severa l of the persons who had been accustomed to sell them, had supplied themselves with spurious bills, which they offered to the public as the genuine house-bill; and the prisoner was found with several of these in her possession. It was stated that Mr. Mathews bad issued orders to the effect that every person paying for admission to the Ly num—whether to boxes, pit, or gallery—should Imo a bill presented gratuitously. Mr. Jardine wu very glad to hear of this determination, for the practice had become a positive nuisance ; and cer tainly, he would waist Mr. Mathews er any other manager, in putting a stop to it, for every person convicted of so ob structtying either the footway or road-way, was liable to the m ess the was not pressed in this came, the defendant eras diamh MARKETS. SUGAR.—The average price of Sugar, the proclaim of the British poescoions in America, computed from the re turns made in the week ending the 25th January, 1833, is 2ta. 111 Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 265. old. Seger, the produce of the East Indies, 304.50. 'the average price of the three foregoing descriptions of Saw, joiatiy, se 255. 7d. BRISTOL, JAN. 2s. StroAa.—The West India market has been quiet this weds, and the few Into on show being held for prices rather above the present value, the transactions since our last are unimportant. In Mauritius the sales comprise about 12,000 mats, all to the refiners, at easier prim.; and about 900 boles of fine yellow Havannah hare also been disposed of, although at a decline of fully Is. per cwt. The refined market is very dull, and the grucers show no dispo sition to operate beyond their immediate requirements. In rum we are without transactions to report. COTTON.—LtvgarooL, JAN. 28.—Notwithataatling the important feet that the receipts of cotton at the ports ut the United Stites are 471,000 bales in excess over the same period of last year, confidence in the article seems to be on the Increase on this side of the Atlantic as well ea on the other. Along with thew, statements, we have also positive &driers and as.urances that the total crop will not exceed ' that of last year. Between the ascertained fact of the actual receipts, and the probable supply during the ce ll malodor of the season, there is no doubt very wide room for I conjecture. Leaving this import point for the present and for future development, we have to report that the move ment in advance, when reduced to quotation, is only to a very limited extent, in no case more than 44. per lb. This applies most fully t t the fair qualities of American, but less decidedly to all other kinds. Surats, Br.ails, and Egyp tians are but little moved in price, and none of them sus , eeptible of a raised quotation. They are all, however, more in demand, and some speculative business has been done in Egyptian. at 62. to 644., and in Meech* and Bahia. at Sid. for the very common. to 6d. for middling and middling fair. 10,720 American. 630 Surat, 2.480 Eeyptian, and 470 Basis, are reported to have been taken on speculation; and 2,620 American, 1,780 Surat, 60 Madras, 20 Egyptian, and 100 Bahia, for export. The Committee of Brokers place fair Uplands, at 61. ; Mobiles, 641. ; and Orleans, 60. Sales for the week, 65,6,10 bales. WOOL.—Leepe, J.A.N. 29.—We hare no alteration in prices, which are firm at last week's rates. A moderate client of business has been done during the week. CORN.—CIILLYSFORD, Jan. 28.—The supply of Wheat was smaller to-day, the condition very bad; all aeseriptions were rather lower, but the decline mostly applied to white. White, 481. to 545. ; red, 425. to 4Gs. Barlry rather gave way, but all the best descriptions about maintained their price, 375. was made of the best qualities. Beans and other spring Corn without alteration. LiNcot.sl, Jan. 28.—Onr market was well supplied with Wheat to-day. The trade was very dull. To make salts farmers had to submit to a reduction of 2s. per qr. on last week's rates; and even at those prices a large quantity re. maimed unsold at the close of the market, millers not show ing any disposition to purchase. Barley dull sale, at Is. decline. Oats and Beans about the same, but very little paging in either article. Wheat, red, 445. to 485. ; white, 60s. to 645. Barley, grinding, 271. to 295. ; malting, 14a. Oats, 18s. to 20s. W►YE)IILD, Jan. 28.—Our arrivals of Wheat are good, but by no means large for the season of the year, the trade however is very inactive, caused no doubt in a great mea sure by the extremely bad condition. Soft qualities are otkred Is. to 21. per qr. lower, and other sorts ls. per qr., w.thout leading to any extent of business. Barley is in supply equal to demand. The =lister' buy etutiously, and prices have receded Is. per qr. Oits and Shelliug sta tionary. Beans are flat, and new the turn lower. No alteration in other articles.

GAROTTE NOBBERT.—On Sunday evening, shortly after ten o'clock, as a young gentleman was on ha way into the city by Waterloo-place, he was attacked, when near the Calton gaol gate, by.a party of men and women. One of the gang threw his arms round his neck, and forcibly compressed his throat; his hat at the same moment was knocked over his eyes, and, in this helpless condition, his pockets were rifled of everything of value, including a gold watch. Their object accomplished, no further violence was offered, end the rubbers decamped, leaving their victim to snake the best of his way to the police-office, where he , lodged informatiost.ar the outrage. No apprehension, so far as we have heard, has been made of any of the mis aeants.—Eclinburgh Advertiser. ___ - - - Tim Futtata EMPRESS OP Fitaxca.—Thia lady would seen to be descended, not from the parent stock of Clomburn, but from one of its branch.. The Dumfries Courier of Tuesday intimates that " a cadet of the family of Kirkpatrick, of Conbeath, near Caerlaverosk, was a consul at Maisie." This answers the French description of the grandfather of the Countess of Teba. How we miss the late Mr. Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe in this matter! One little note in that prim pragmatic hand were worth columns of newspaper conjecture or folios of heraldic fables. Cowaat. BANKRUPTS. all LONDON GAZETTE.—Friday, Jas. 28.
