..- THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1852. esetissts a the sat (9 it 10 Viet:, cap. 95), in which power was gives to Use Chancellor to remove the judge of a County Court, end to the judge to dismiss the clerk. The 21th section gave the power tu the judge to dismiss the clerk, for inability or misbehaviour, subject to the approval of the Lord Chancellor ; and by the 18 section it was enacted that' it might t . 'e lawful for Use Lord Chancellor, or where the whole district was within the County Palatine of Lancaster, for the Chancellor of the Dodo, if ho should think fit, to lemon the judge of a County Court for inability or misbe haviour. The Chancellor was, therefore, in hi., own judge mint to decide upon the fact of inability or misbehaviour; but he submitted the di-misted party might come to this court. and ask for such a proceeding as would enable him to have the question of fact decided by a jury. Then, was no mode Risen by this st a t u t e by w hi c h the Chiacellor could ascertain the truth of the allegatioas; he had nu power to examine the witnesses upon oath. Bo that unless the party could come to this court he might be removed upon testimony which was entirely false. The evidence might be very voluminous and csinflictiog, and such as a jury alone ought to decide upon, anit that upon the oaths of the wan. „«a. Hut there was a direct authority in the ease of "The Queen r. Owen," where a clerk of the county court ul Merlons th had base dismissed for inability. That court granted a quo warrant°, and the jury returned a special verdict that the inability was insolvency ; this was subs. quently held not to be a sufficient inability, and the party was restored to his office. It might turn out that that which the Earl of Carlisle had deemed inability or nail coudiset that court might hold not to be se ; and that could only beds:termini:Ll by sendiug the facts to a jury. In Os en's eassas that court had hell that the derision of the judge was not final, and that the questMa of fret might be rids. il for the opinion of a jury. Lord Ciampi,. 11—But in the coo of " The Queen v. Owl." it made to appear that the only groom& of complaint was that the clerk was not able to pay all his debts, It being admitted that he had rii rformeil his duties is an caciaplary mann. r. Not:ling was imputed that amounted to nubility or misconduct. If yau eau show that nothing was imputed to Mr. Itau.shay unmanning either to inand.ty or anstieliaviour, eu.l that In is not guilty of ina bility or modish triune, you may make out a ease for a 11.0 War. iota but you admit that the el.arges brought epsilon Mr. Itanoloy, if wed founded, would amount to inability o. misb.haviour, and you wish es to grant a quo warrant°, is order that a jar, may try those charges. Sir F. Kelly had nut exactly made such en admission, but the qurstiou was bow vas the fret to be ascertained, or how was the qrseetiou to be Lund, tees pt by ranting this Lord Caisphell—act present we &reconsidering what ma terials ought to be laid before the court. If you prove that you have rest beau Used, the n the court would interfere. yea show that that which was imputed would hot ansoant to either suability or misconduct, then that would ground tut applying ter a quo warrant°, but if you admit the charges were of a grave nature, amounting to inability and ionconiliirt —that the porgies had been heard —that there had been a devisina by a funetionary ap pointed by the eonatitutien, or by act of parliament, to riceale—theu the liwstifla arises, whether you can tome with afillivits to show that that decision WU wrong, and induce us to grant a quo warranto that there may be a new trial beture a jury. Sir F. Kelly and it was a treparate question whether in this particular ease it wu poesible to sustain the judgment without some further inquiry. It wu impossible to know the ground of the Earl of Carlisle's derision—whether it was upon the only charge of which Mr. Itanishay had notice, and which be was called upuu to answer when the noble earl has instituted the inquiry, or any other charge; but he would submit that the right to the quo warranto Val not at all limited to those eases, in which it appeared spun the affidevito that the judgment of the party remov inz could not be right, but it waa similar to the case of the parish clerk. Lent Campbell—You say, then, that it was a verdict against the weight of evidence? Sir F. Kelly could nut adopt that language. lie con tended that tha Law had not mule the Chancellor the final judge of the fut. The case of the Queen and Owen was directly in point. Lost Campbell—lf you have an affidavit showing that if the charges against Mr. Itanishay were true they would nut cunstitate a sufficieut ground fur demise:el, then ...fhe Queen w. Owen " is an authority in your favour; but not till then. It COILVS to thk—upon what ground you can impeach the judgement it might be that the charge against the party was frivolous, or where there was eon dieting eviihuee that the weight of the testimony wu in favour of the party accused. Sir F. Kelly impeached it upon the ground that it was untrue, in point of fact, that there was any inability or misconduct; and so it was in "The Queen r. Owen. It would be a great injustice if it were to be held that if the Chancellor came to a decision directly contrary to what could be vowed to be the fact, without being able to ad minister an oath, that it was to be final and conclusive, destroying, as it might, the prospects of • man holding ao important a situation as that of a judge of • county court. It wasthe intention of the legislature that it was fur the Chancellor to decide as to the degree of inability or mis conduct. lle might come to this court and my, not that the Chancellor h erred in judgment AI to any inability or misconduct, but that he was wrong as to the fact. It would be a grievous injustice to deprive • party of his livelihood and reputation when the wttneases could not be examined on oath. This was a case sheering there was no jurisdiction in the Chancellor; that the facts did not exist upon which hi. jurialiction could be founded. The fact of inability and xaMbehavioar was • earlition precedent to the Chancellor eaereising hi. jurisdiction at all. Mr. Justice l'atteson—lu the case of " The Queen v. Owen" it was conceded that the only ground of removal was the man's insolvency, and the queatean was whether that was, within the meaning of the act of parliament, in ability or misbehaviour. There was no doubt about the fact. _ . _ F Kelly Sir said it was a question in Owen's case whe• tber thin) was any distinction between the finality of the learn d Jule:* lICCiPI.III in point of fact and the finality of the decision in point of law. The want of jurisdiction might es well be obscure in fact as in point of law. If there were neither misbehaviour nor inability them was no jurisdiction. Lord Campbell-4f the affidavits show that there was no imputation of misconduct, then you may enter upon the affidavits; hut if you admit there was a charge of inability or msbehaviour, and that hail been heard and derided, them I think the legislature meant that the judgment should be ermelusive. . . _ Sir F. Kell said if he could show absence of jurisdic tion 'het would entitle the party to a rule. But there was another ground. The charge of misconduct was as re garded • person named Whitt y, snot a memorial had been presented to the Earl of Carlisle. Both parties attended by counsel, his loriiship having directed an inquiry, but upon that inquiry 20, or 3d, or 40 charges were gone into. The inquiry lasted a fortnight, and it was • wonder that it did not last longer when one considered the party in Liver pod, he would not say (rota what motive., who were per mitted to cater into any species of charge. The Earl of Carlisle considered the proceeding closed. Lord Campbell—Bid Mr. Itanishay ade for more time ? Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—Yes, my lord; I did fur him. bir F. Kelly said the document appointing the inquiry contained only one charge, of which alone Mr. Ranashay bad notice; the inquiry going on de die in diem, other matters were brought forward ; and about • month after the investigation hail terminated, without any previous no tice t Mr. Ram-hay, witho ut calling on him to appear at any piece, without any ad jo urnment at all, and without any ceremony whatever, t he Earl of Carlisle transmitted to Mr. It tinsli.,y an instrument dismissing him from his office, accompaiind by a letter expressing his regret at being obliged to-trite at such a decision ; and he elmeld contend that, from those two instruments, it was utterly imposible to determine whether he was dismissed for the matter charged in the meinorial presented to the Earl of Carlisle, and in consequent., of which he instituted the inquiry ; or for one or more of the other roat•ers inquired into. There was noto.ng in the letter from the noble earl pointing to in ability ; sod all the witnesses were unanimous in their (minim of Mr. Itanishay's ability. He had also to urge that Mr. itainshay had been dismissed without being celled upon to show cause. Ile submitted there wee no difference in principle or in fact between the ease of the Chance:Bora the Duchy of Limiest*r and the rector of • parish. The law had given etch • derretion, but it bad not taken from the party his right to have his ease brought before a jury. The Chancellor might hear the ease, bat it was not competent for kiln todianiess without million upon the party to show came. The learned mined, in omedunoss, referred the evert to a ease of °The King v.

Bap -I,•••.—Tms 14CIISTION or KATIM4 Itettwmts. This was an action of replevin, arising oat of the fallow circumstances . There was iu the parish of St. P•SaCTUS • kiml act, which was passed in the 20th (ho. 111., and which created • vestry in that parish, and conferred upon it very 'Merle, power. The Stith section empowered the vestry to hear appeals against rates which it had imposed, and to relieve from the payment of them such parties ea the vestry might deem to be justly entitled to he so relieved. The With section further enlarged the preen of the v in this matter. On the 16th of March the vestry im= • rate on the North-Western Railway Company in respect of its premises in and near.Seymourstreet. The rate was calculated on an assumed value of more than 26,01101. The company was advised that this was an emissive value, being measly double the amount at which the premises ought to be 'seemed. Tho company, therefore, applied under the statute for • reconsideration of the rate, and the vestry de- Wined to deal by its special authority with a question of ' such extent and importance, and proposed that it should be referred to the decision of some properly in structed sod imrtial person. It was, therefore, agreed that the matter s hould be referred to a gentleman of high standing at the bar. An arbitrator was appointed under this agreement; he was attended by counsel, and every in formation was afforded him. It was agreed that the award of the arbitrator should regulate the assessments of any rate to any future period up to the dote of the award, and that all the payments made by the company with respect to such rates should be considered as payments on account of such future rates, and that the perish should treat such sums as should be paid in laces, of the proper amount of the rases as gams rectived to the credit of tho company, and should apply them in diminution of such future rates. The award was made some time afterwards, and the ridable dodos which lad barn originally charged at above 26,00 W. was by the award reduced to the slam of 16,4401. As 4001. harbeen paid, before the award was made, in elettif of the whole amount of the succeeditig rate, the parish disputed the award, and before the magistrate insisted on the pay ment of the rate. A diAress was afterwards levied, and several first-class carriages were seised; an action of re plevin was brought by the company to relieve these ear , lieges Irons the 'leisure, but liefure declaring in the action I a rule had been obtained by the company to stay the pro , ceedings under the seizure. Mr. Crowder and Mr. Bramwell appeared to show cause against the rule, which was supported by Mr. Pashley. The judges having consulted together fur a few moments, The Lord Chief Justice said—l am of opinion that this 1 rule ought to be made übsolute. Thu conduct of the pa r rish appears to me to ho very extraordinary, to say the least • of it. It was a very lair agreement entered into between the i parish awl the railway company. It was an agreement most I advantageous (or the parish, and at tho same time tegeous for the company. It was for the arbitrator to lay down some rule by which the amount of over payment arising pending the award might be decided, and that sti r pulatem in the agreement a hereby the plaintiff was to go on paying, credit being gisi•n (or the cite", ought, if pi s . Bible, to be enforced. Now, what is the conduct of the v, stry ? They deprive the company of the opportunity they have of appealing to have justice done them. They I inveigle the company to enter into this agreement—they t induce the company to go out paying upon the fcoting of • the rate that had been made ; and thee, when the award is I amide, reducing the rateable Aloe very considerably, and i showing that there had been an over payment, they say they will not seek to set aside the award, but that they will set the award at defiance. In violation of • ' solemn agneenent they say they will enforce payment of a rate wehaut giving credit fur the excess alecady paid. This is el. aily most dishonest conduct on their part. But, how -1 ever, the giteeion is whether we haee a right to interpose. I apprehend we have a right to interpose on this ground, via., that the parish have deprived the company of their right to appeal and to have justice done them by the regu lar tribunal providesl by the legislature; and that it is a violation of their agreement to institute proceedings which bring about an action we are new called upon to stay. Under these circumstances I think we arejustificalin staying• that action, and so dying justice to both parties. Mr. Justice Patteson expreseed his entire concurrence in the judgment of the Lord Chief Justice. Mr. Justice Coleridge—There are certainly cases in which this court has interfered to stay proceedings from being car ried on which have been commuted in violation of good faith. Wherever there are eases of this nature—and the present appears to me to he' one—our interfereuce is parti cularly called for. The parish here must be considered as having g4inel an advantage by the agreement they have entered into; that is to say . , they have got the power of making a rate and of compelling its payment without giting the persons reed ar opportunity of appeal. The party would have hell an opportunity of appealing except fur the agreement, and are we to be at liberty after that to say that we must enterer the rate ? Clearly not. Mr. Justice Wightman—l am of the same opinion. Buie absolute. COURT OF EXCIIEQUER.--SATCBDAT. DreNnAm rN 11AArn —Damen vas Lomb Comm Baam, MI. BUM Inn, MI. HAMM/ ALDWOI., AND ML lissom MAIMIN.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-SATURDAT. BUM. Ma. Coloammom Clootsvax. IN RE FILINCII AND SARM. The bankrupts were coal-factors, carrying on business at Cbath ice and at the London Coal Exchange. The certifi cate meeting took place a week ago, when his Honour granted San Is a fint-classeertiticate, and reserved his judg ment as to the other bankrupt until this day. In conse quence of the contradictory evidence given by tke bankrupt French, and Mr. Shaw, his former clerk or partner, with re. fence to a bill of exchange for 1261., drawn by Mr. Baxter, of the Nettlesworth Colliery, Newcastle, accepted by a party named Abel Wood, described as a coal-merchant, of 'little-bridge, arid discounted by the bankrupt French with the London Joint-stock Bank, on which circumstance the e...poeition to the bankrupt turned, French stating that the bill was given him by Shaw in part liquidation of a debt between them, and Shaw asserting that he had never seen the bill before, his Honour had caused Mr. Baxter, the drawer of the bill, to bo written to ; and he now appeared. Mr. Baiter deposed that in July last he was employed as an agent to the Nettlesworth colliery. He drew the bill in question at the request of David French. This was at his °Mee. Twa or three stamps were laid before him in blank, and he drew the bills, the bill in question thief one. He b a d d rawn M or 37 bills for the colliery. Ihe amount might be 6,0001, or 7,000/. They were drawn for the bull new of the colliery. It was a losing concern. None of the bills were drawn in blank save those he had referred to above. Mr. Lawrance, on behalf of the bankrupt French, ad dressed the court on this additional evidence, and commented with much severity on the system pursued by some of the nort'oern collieries, of obtaining large advances by hills from coal merchants in town, and failing to cover them, which he described as a conspiracy to inundate the commer cial world with worthless paper. His Honour said the case was one of considerable import ance. The disclosures which took place in that court were of the greatest interest to tho commercial public, and could not be too accurately recorded or too widely disseminated; for they frequently contained lessons which, if considered well by t rad ers, might be of the greatest advantage to them as to the mode of conducting their businees. This case was one of a very extraordinary character indeed. He would first dispose of the individual complaint of the London Joint-Stock Bank, that French hail negotiated with them a bill which they had every reason to believe was • fictiti ous one and nothing more than waste paper. He Suite ap peared of the conduct of the bank in bringing this matter forward. It was of the utmost eonaegsaaw that public bodies should watch transaction, of this description, and, if they believed they had been imposed upon by worthless bills, should bring the matter before the met and have it thoroughly sifted. Tho first inquiry was, how did French get this bill? It professed to be drawn for 1261. 13.. fist., by Mr. Baxter, for the owners of tha Nettlemorth Colliery, on, and purporting to be ac cepted by, Mr. Abel Wood, coal merchant, Battle-bridge. There had been some evidence, not so conclusive as could be wished, that there was such • person as Wood ; but the principal question was, how did French get the bill ? He twisted that he got it from Mr. Mailman Shaw (who was very much mixed up in these transactions), as part pay ment of an amount found to be owing by Show to French, on • statement of accounts which took place at the dissolu tion of their partnership. Mr. Shaw utterly denied this statement, said there was not a word of truth in it, and that he had never seen the bill till ho carat into court, and be pledged his oath without the least hesitation or apparent doubt that Mr. French's story was utterly without founda tion and untrue. Hence it became most important to hear what Baxter, the drawer of the bill, said; and he told • wry sixtmordinary story about it. He said that • short previoustime to the date of the bill (26th of July last) be had an interview with French in his counting-housi, when French putlbefore him two or three blank stamps, and requested him to put his name to them as drawer, and that be did so. He said that was • solitary instance of his sign ing bills in blank—and it was to be hoped that he spoke the truth, for the practice of signing bills in blank won most reprehensible. Nobody knew in whose hand-writing the body of the bill was fi lled up ; Shaw said he had not seen it before, and French did not tell them, to that the court hail no information on that point. Here was a bill drawn on a person, Woud, who was undoubtedly insolvent, for it seemed he had lately paid 2*. fid. in the pound. The ques tion orose, did French pass this bill to the London Joint stock Bank with at least a strong suspicion, if not a movie. Bon, that it was worthless? Under those circumstances he was bound to have furnished some better proof of how and when the bill was drawn. On this head his ease was altogether defective. The general circum stances were relied on ; and his very intelligent and acute advocate had asked if it was at all likely that a man basing, as French then had, a largo balance at his bankers, would knowingly attempt to peas a bill of that description. It was certainly very improbable; but it appeared to be part and pared of a system in which Mr. French bail unfortunately permitted himself to env bark; and the court agiccil in all !gr. Lawrance had said as to the wicked character of the conspiracy by which all this waste paper had been put in circulation. But the bankrupt had beat himself to this scheme ; the proceedings showed that he was art and part in the matter, and had as sistril to &dirge the commercial public with waste paper of this deeeription—thereby keeping up a false credit—care ing serious mischief to his bona fide creditors—ineeriing a liability of betwoen 20,0001. and 30,01101.—and ultimately involving in ruin not only himself, but an aged parent, who had gone ou for 50 years with a well-earned repute. blau,'. credit to hiinstlf, and the hest possible character amongst all who knew hint. Having embarked in this course of dealing, the bankrupt, instead of hold ing hie hand when he saw the gulf into which he was about to be plunged, had goes forward (very much encouraged by Mr. Shaw, whom the court by no means acquitted of blame), till he was last altogether, and said and did things quite iuoonsistent with his being a mere dupe in these transactions. He had acquitted Mr. Shaw, stated that they had squared accounts, and that Shaw was not to , be blamed. It was only when ho failed that be turned round and attacked Shaw, Baxter, and others, who had been only partners with him in a transaction which woo, from first to last, most improper, and to be reprobated by every honourable and fear-dealing man. This bill had been paid to the bank by French—to say the least of it, with the most culpable negligence; if tho court stopped short of calling it fraud it was from unwillingness to involve hint in the highly penal coneequi nee, that must result from a judgment passed on that ground. Neither Shaw nor French could be exempted from great blame, nor any One concerned iu thew transactions, which were all irregular and gross misconduct in traders. The court wan unwilling to press hard on a man who had been in such a flourishing cunili tion as Mr. French for so long a period, and had earned during that period a very high, and for a certain time, a very well deserved character. His estate was quite large enough to pay every man 20s. in the pound of his just debts. el et rid of this ksaper, and every man would have his own ; but those creditors had a just right to complain of 141. being cut off their dividend because the bankrupt had chosen to carry on a bubble and an adventure which W 33 sure to end in ruin. Such was gross 13113- , conduct in any trader. The court took into account his illness, just at the moment when these excessive advaeces were beginning; but he could not be permitted at mice to receive his certificate. Treating the case as one of culpable negligence only, it was indispensable to hold out an example to the commercial public, to prevent the repetition of such practices. Making every just allowance, and all the incli nation of the court was that way, in consequence of the very high character he had so long maintained, and through sympathy for his aged parent, who, by no (Ault of has own, was involved in the common ruin, the court must mark its severe reprobation of the practices referred to. The certificate must be suspended for six months from that date ; at tho expiration of that time to be granted of the third class, there being nothing of unavoidable loss or misfortune in the ease. Looking at the mitigating eircum stances—ae the assignees had not joined in the opposition— as the bankrupt's general conduct was rather favourable than otherwise, and as ho had taken great pains since his bankruptcy to waist the assignees, the court was wil!ing to prevent his being subject to any personal inconvenience, and would give him protection; and at the cud of six months, but not before, he would have his certificate. THE POLICE COURTS MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Crnmsrell, who has undergone several examina tions upon charges made against hint by wine merchants, of having defrauded them, was brought before the Lord Mayor and Alderman Wilson, for final examination. A great number of the prisoner's customers were present. The evidence in several of the voles against the prisoner was then read over by the chief clerk. The prisoner —Now, if I had effected sales for these peo• ple (the prosecutors) there would have been none of this sort of persecution, fur 1 shall make it plain to the jury, to their shame, that it is nothing but persecution. But I could not effect sales with spurious articles, for the publicans aro too wide awake to be done by such an imposition. (Laughter.) When the prisoner was asked whether he wished to sign the statement which he had made in answer to the first charge, he said ":lot I; how do I know what I may be signing ? It may be my death warrant fur what I know." When the evidence in four separate cases of fraud and one of embezzlement had been read, the prisoner Raid, I dare sty you can in the ease of an unsuccessful man easily get up 200 or 300 cases against him, especially if the police run about to get them up, na this officer has been doing. AU these thins are concocted against me. (Loud laughter.) The prisoner was then committed to Newgate far triaL BOW-STREET. rharleA Pickering.descril;cia7ateseher of languages, was brought up for re-examination, charged with mutilating valuable works at the British Museum. Mr. Parry, who appeared for the trustees of the Museum, said that, in addition to the plates taken from a work en titled "Les Francois," many of which were found in an album furnished by the prisoner to Mr. 01lirier, he was in a condition to show that others had been abstracted from " Massie do Pelnture et de Sculpture," by Duchesne ; Journal Militaire," for 1841 and 1845 ; and also from "The Napoleon Gallery," an English publication. Mr. John Winter Jones, assistant keeper of the book de partment in the British Museum, proved that on Saturday, the 24th, he accompanied Mr. Panizzi and a police in spector to the prisoner'e lodgings, when ho admitted having two or three copies of the work " Les Francais," both coloured awl plain ; and, after making a diligent search up stairs, which be called his workshop, they found plates be longing to the works in question. In eras-examination witness said that he found one plate relating to the Journal Militairc, which he could not iden tify, and which was not missed from the work. There were also sevcral plates belonging to the work by Duchesne which he could not identify. The prisoner said that lie had for years been a collector of prints. Mr. Panizzi, principal keeper of printed books, corrobo rated the above testimony. Mr. Hall said there was ample evidence brought before him for the prisoner's further detention; and as the charge WAS one of a very grave character, ho should remand the prisoner. MARYLEBONE.

Up to the present time he had the greatest confidence in the prisoner. lie could not say with any degree of confidence what the value of the diamonds might be, as they wets in a rough state, and for aught he knew they might be worth 10,0001. The box, however, was in court, with a portion of what it eontained when it was sent to his banker's. Ito missed from it four diamonds, such as perhaps were not to be equalled in the world. It further appeared that on the previous morning a boy saw the box, produced by an officer, in a field near Copenhagen House, Islington, open, and a bag lying by its side. A great many stones were also lying about there, and he put them in the beg, which he earned home to his parents. The box was subsequently picked up in the field by a man named Bruton. It had evidently been broken open. The prisoner returned to the doctor's house on Friday night, and was by the cook given into custody, and taken to the statien-house. ' The prisoner admitted having received the box in its per fect state from the bankers, and of which he said he had been robbed while under the influence of drink. SOUTH-FARMS RAll.WAY.—Yesterday tho Tun bridge Wells and Hastings branch of the South-Eastern Railway was opened to the public. This completes the direct communication, by the South-Eastern line, between Hastings and London. On Saturday what may be called , the private opening of the new line took place. A large party of the directors, including Mr. Macgregor, the Chair man, Captain Warren, Mr. Renshaw, the N ice -Chairman, Mr. Small and Mr. Brown, and who were accompanied by Mr. Drain, the engineer to the company, Captain Barlow, ihn superintendent to the company, and Messrs. Hoof and Wythes, the contractors who have constructed tho new line, left London by the 11.3° ordinary train, and proceeded to litigate. Here a special train was provided, which ran to Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Battle, and then over the new rails to Hastings. The " inauguration" was unaccompanied by any ceremony. The Mayor of Hastings was on the platform of the Hastings station to meat the party ; but it was underetood that this was iu his private and not in his ofli, ial capacity. After a brief stay at Hastings the train was driven to Ashford, and then over the main line to Folkstone. At Folkston the party dined, being joined by several other gentlemen. The return to town was by another special train. The branch line to Tunbridge Wells was first opened in 1816. A continuation to liobertsbridge has been open about a month, and the completed lino to Matins has only just been finished. There did previously exist two routes to Hastings—one by tie South Cleat line, and a second by the South Easter* branch line from Ashford to Rye and Hastings. The new and direct route effects a considerable saving in time and distance. The season summer direct traffic between Tun bridge Wells and Hastings is calculated upon as likely to be exceedingly large, and, generally, it is supposed that the purtipn of the county intervening has long been in want of the railway facilities which are now provided. The work has been one of great difficulty uud heaviness. The " ridges " of the Hastings furruption occur here, and the cuttings are numerous. The cost has, we understand, been at the rate of 20,0001 per mile. A very heavy cutting had to be male close to Bat tle, and it is a remarkable circumstance that this work is through the very land whereon was fought the battle of Hastings. The station at Battle is a very pretty structure, and quite original in its di sign and character ; the selec tion of the apparently unfitting, but really appropriate, eceleidastical style, being explained by a reference to the contiguous abbey which gives to Battle all its importance. LONDON AND SOUTII WESTERN HAILMAT.—The next half-yearly meeting of this company is announced to be held ut the Nine Elms station, Vauxhall, on Thursday, the 12th day of February next, when there will be an election of three directors to supply vacancies by the retire ment, under the company's amendment act, lila, of the Hon.

(eerjeant-at• law), Thomas W. Helps, Esq., and Charles S. Mortimer, Esq., hove severally declared their intentions to heroine candidates for election. The list three are entirely new candidates. The grounds of their offering are the necessity of infusing new blood in the direction, and closing the capital account MARKETS. Livsarini. Jaw. 31. Setteely anything has been done In produce to-day.

COTTON.—lavanrooi, Jar. 31.—The market closes firmly, but not briskly, to-dgy, without change in prices. The ..IN us estimated at BPOO bales, and consist of 1,000 Pernant and Maranhao), chiefly sawginncd, at 41d. ; 350 Egyptian, at Md. to 81d. ; 600 Surat, at Md. to 31d. ; 80 sea islands, at 14d. to 211 d. ; remainder American at pre vious rates. The imports since Thursday are 20,000 bales. Jaw. 31.—We hive had an increase of business both in cotton yarn and cloth this week, and the market of to-day fully corresponds with the improved tone which characterised our trade on Tuesday and Thursday. Buyers are unwilling to give the increased prices forced on our spinners by the advance of ed. per lb. on cotton at Liverpool, but nevertheless it has been established upon the numbers of water twist most in demand, including 28's is bundle and some others, and on 10's and 60's mule twist. For cloth there is greater firmness, but not a corre sponding advance of prices, though the activity sod rise in cotton appears to have given an Impulse to trade. There has been considerable business in printing cloths, and the finer makes of 30 inch, 40 inch, and wider shirt ing.; and the makers of them are in many cues under contracts. There hos been on improved in nuiry also for fine loi/cloths and T cloths. In domestics the home trade demand is but moderate, but with the ex port trade there is sufficient to keep down stocks, and prices arc firm. Altogether the market has an improved aspect, and a good many spinners as well as manufacturers are working to order. fhe exports to India for this month do not much exceed the half of what was taken for the same period last year, but late advice, give reason to expect a considerable improvement soon. For China we are doiug a large trade in yarn, and the exports have been 1,3,000 lb.. for this month against 746,000 lbs. in the same filontli last year. Our export of yarn has also been greater by 470 packages to the European ports in the first three weeks of this year than last. A better trade is also anticipated with the United States, as well as with India and the continent of Europe. The jacconet and cambric trades are depressed, and prices lower. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lra:na, UN. 31.—Although there has not been any decisive alteration in the state of the market to-day, yet we think on the whole there has been a tendency to improvement. In the warehossts also during the week there has been a better business done. HARDWAttli.—BintatmoitAn, JAN. 31.—The last ad vice* from America brought a few orders, which have been since distributed, and contributed to keep some of the manufacturers in full work, hut from the Colludes orders are scanty, and it is rather to be feared there is somewhat of a glutei( our goods in that market, which will operate preju dicially u regards the spring trade. The Mexican trade has rather improved of late, and from ltio, Valparaiso and Monte Video there has been a fair supply of orders, but the South American trade Fenerally has been very much improving of lute. Iho orders for the home trade have come in very well since the new year set in, especially from the north and west of tugland ; altogether business here is in a very healthy con. ditiun; without anything like an accumulation of orders, either in the merchants', factors', or manufacturers' hands, there are quite sufficient to keep the latter going, which is all that can be expected at this time of the year. Tho en gineers employed in this town and neighbourhood appear to have taken no part in the self-ruinous conflict in which the great body of those most skilful persons are at present en• gaged; there is a strike on a minor seals in the district amongst the workmen in another branch; it was reported under this head last week, and we regret to state that the matter in dispute has not yet been accommodated.
