Ths will, however, provided that, if, after his &mese, hie wile, shoald prove to be pregant, and a poethumoss shad should be bus, that sub child *bond take ths property instead of the septum. The testator subseyiently veneered, and two 'ears after his wife was delivered of a daughter, who survived both her parents. and the defend. ant in thie We was the devisee of such doubter. Tee &Whit, es the representative of the nephew, claimed wider the wiil, the teitatOr brought an astioa of ejectment to west his claim to the 'Y er r. lenity, for the plaintiff, entiended that the will providsd only for posthumous issue, and the npresentative of the nephew was therefore clearly entitled,aa the cent scold met interpret the will la a different manner from that is which it spoke for itself; and it did not provide for any heap which might be living at the time of the testator's death. Mr. Malice, Q C., on behalf of the defendant, contended that the oojsct and spirit of the will was to provide for any ehild which the testator might be the father of, whether bombe/on or Liter his death. His own issue was his first object, sod the nephew his second; and the intention of the testator clearly woe to provide for say child or children be might have, as was his duty, and not leave them send lees, to provide for his nephew. The learned gen ikaaa quoted " White v. Barber, and " laggard v.

WillIA:c1:1-;-;11.)-A-N-0-21111.—ATTACHIliNT. Conwrr Cavan. 80 F. Thomism, Mr. Bodkin, sad Mr. Horne appeared to show cause why the rule for an attachment against the learned judge of the Heat County Court should not be made absolute. The rule was greeted for not obeying a writ of sectioned i‘sued by this court for the purpose ,of bringing up • plaint in replevin. The defendant Smith, who acted as bailiff, levied • diatom for rent exceeding 501., and the plaintiff had replerined them in the county goon. The trial win filed fur the Bth of November. The defendant obtained Mui wilt of certiorari oa the 6th, and gave notice of it to the sleek of the county court on the 6th of November. he also mentioned the names of the sureties whom be would produce for the prosecution of the cause. On the fik the writ was presented to the judge of the county court at Gravesend, sad Mr. Wheatley's attorney mode an affidavit stating that the defendant was unable to be personally pre. sent from severe illneu, but that he (the attorney) was prepared to m.ke the necessary declaration that the rent exceeded 201., Ire, which being done the case would be removed into • superior court. The learned judge was, however, of opinion that it wee not competent for him to receive the declaration of an inept the defendant ia perms, and he refused to allow Mr. Wheatley's attorney to make the declaration. The cease was, however, then adjourned, and afterwards taken at the close of the day, whoa the jory returned • verdict, with 601. &magi e. Mr. Clarke supported the rule The learned judge had not only quite awaken the purview of the Comity Court Act, but he should have received the deelention proposed to have been made under a power of attorney from the defendant fee that purpose. instead of doing so, he refused to act upon thy writ of certiorari which from the moment it wee granted operated em a suspension of all kis jariediction, because the defendant had not complied with all the pre km/aeries of the County Courts Aet. The learned judge wan no be said to have received the writ, much less to have obeyed it, and the consequence was that he was guilty of a contempt of this court, whose rule for an attachment ought is be made absolute. The learned gentleman was Baron il r. Parke, who (in the ibis nee of the Lord Chief Baron) said tint he could not help thinking that the learned judge had disobeyed the writ of certiorari. This court lad already disposed of the lint questions raised. There wee so doubt that the writ might issue at ones on the mere spplicatio• of a party, and that as soon as it is issued it might be obeyed contiLionelly, tke effect of which is to make the writ suaditirnally operative, that is, provided certain things wore afterwards done. The 121 section was embodied. and as sees se the writ was pretested to the judge of the county wart, the party ought to be prepared to make the declare- Nos required by the statute. When that is dn., it is the duty et the learea jades to fix the amount of the sureties of the bond, to be approved of by the clerk; and when that is done, the cause is rtturned to the mart assieg the writ. The statute certainly was *bemire ea to the party by wham the declaration should be made. There wee no doubt that it was questionable whether it might be dem by an egeat under the circumstance,. 1 think it might be DO made, and that it was the duty of the learned judge to receive the agent's declaration, and go on to fix the meant of the sureties, which wee a ministerial act. The judge we,, *inhere, wrong is refusing to do se, sad this wee tie only way to put him right. I cer tainly think that ,he had no business to go as and try the oast or allow the jury to award 601. damages, although that has beam emplaned by the paggautisa that it was " doubtful Whithelf the Ilene dad not 'ashen damages for an excessive distress "es welt as fer replevin. That is, however, quite beside the pegesat gaieties, and the malt is that ia judgment the eateekateat ought to go. however, as there woes Manes ef wilful unwept—it was more like a venial enter or mistake ea the part of the learned judge—l Walt it inlaid be right tie order that this rule should retina in the 'Mee for a mouth, and that la the meantime a new writ of satiensi should issue, which will, no doubt, be obeyed. As I desk very much whether the old one could be acted on saw, the Me will thereicre he absolute, sod all that has Nina Pim will go ise nothing. Me. News Al‘esau quite agreed ia all that had fallen from his Weried Imam. la the tint iastasos the leerned judge we wing, sad until be was set right again no question could arise. It matt, however, be admitted that ao ground tented kit lapsing to the learned judge any wilful din!** damns el the preens of this nark The psiat on which be acted was admitted to be of grave doubt. Mr. Berm Martin said hie owe notion wee that the lamed judge ten quite wrong in refulag to erosive the declaratios. Me and all other judges of the inferior courts ought to aid be eanyiag oat the provisions of the legislature whoa re gaited to do so. The defendant was clearly tinkled to his writ of metiaesii, and instead of throwing impedimenta in the way the Warned jingle ought to have assisted him in le ' the IMOD to &superior court. Mr. Clarke applied for costs. The nark however, refused the application, and ordered as tele to be made absolute sacordingly.

He had begun, at 23 yore of age, in partnership with this Wilkie; and they had traded sa merc han ts, as they celled themselvee, of the City of London. Thuagb their liabilities ware upwards of 8,0001. at Wilkla's death, with ealy 8021. of available vets, the bankrupt had goo on trading for three months longer, with the full knows of how deeply he was involved. The trading had been most reckless goods ware sent hither and thither to obtain what prim they could, the bankrupt Wag without capital, and caring little for the result. The brother of the bankrupt was called, to give some ex. planstion of the psymints made by the bankrupt to his father and brother shortly before the failure. They had handed to him bills for discount, with a view to usable him to dent an arrangement with his creditors; failing this he was to return the amount; but they had lost 601. by the transaction. Mr. Balsam said the only assets received was 1401., and they expiated to get about 1601. more ; so that the dividend ' would probably not exceed 6d. in the pound. Kr.

The t oaks of the bankrupt had been admirably kept, and his personal expeaditure had been very moderato. His Honour said it was out of his power to grant the cer tificate at once, as it was clear the bankrupt had been guilty of a fraudulent preference to both his father andlbrother. Ho bad gone down into the country with their bills, and, after receiving the money, had returned it to them, and this alto he had been eummowd to that court, which in law was clearly a fraudulent preference. The capital had boa utterly incompetent for each an extensive trading. It was said that ha had tattered Inmost that he should be able to work round; but how cold he so far deceive himself, who he knew that he was 3,0001. worse than nothing ?

The student, who was astonished at the adroitness displayed, followed the prisoner, and gate him into the custody of an odium Xi . . Brows identified the shawl, and said he remembered having seen the prisoner, accompanied by another man, stop some time before at the shop door and an the shawl, and that when he went to the door to me whether they wished to be customers, they walked away. The Prlsonar—Now Xi. Brown, hare you not got other shawls of that deeeriptifin!. have. The Prisoaer—Very well; and I ima prove that I bought that shawl at another shop.

Toll money is waiting for me, and I may never have such a chancel again. The Lord Mayor—Then have boon three distinct attempts made by you to commit robbery, and in one of them, which was as impudent a theft so I have beard described, you have been detected and apprebeaded. Against such clever this,,, then appears to me to be no security at all inoept that which may be afforded by . the rigorous execution of the law.

I watched him, sad saw him trying to leave the hall in the middle of a song. I did not find any watch upon his person. He gars a false addrest, and he denied that he bad aver before been in custody, but there is a certificate of hie conviction before Alderman Kelly upon a 'barge of attempting to pick pockets in 1847. Ts• primmer said the navintima before Alderman Kelly was entirely nand by mistake or by prejudice ardast him, sad there was no more foundation for it than for saying that be hod stolen the lady's watch, a charge which he thought was a very bad return for the accommodation he afforded the lady. _ The Lad Mayor—l must take oars to protect the foreign. en who are coming over in such numben so well se I can against such clever thieves as you, and I shall, I. eveq coos is which former conviction can be proved, calm eemildiatos to be produced.

No doubt the political aspect of the Conti nent continues to affect operations for that quarter to a coosi derable extent, but that does sot wholly amount for the depression which overhangs the market. As regards the export trade, in fact, it is understood that many bosses hold considerable orders in suspense, till they ass prices assume a more settled aspect. Prices of yarn hays 'till a drooping tendency, sad cloths con be bought to greater advantage than on Tuesday, though scarcely quotable lower. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Norritiolum, Jan. 30.—The wrought cotton hem branch, the principal manntaetnse of the district for twenty miles round, is upon the whole in a very prosperous cnidition. The cut-up how branches are also in a fair condition. The plain silk branch is still in difilcultim; the strike wmtinues against one house, and its heads are taking steps to remove their frames to Mansfield. The Irbbie net trade is in ad. pressed state, and several of the factory owners have partly stopped their ma chinery; but this panic bee not been of long continuance, as they have intimated to the workmen that they shall re quire their services spin es usual in a few drys. The black silk lam trade has felt the depression, and one of the machine owners at Carrington has required his lace to be made ten motions to the hole instead of eidht. The warp lam trade, though rather dull has not felt the depression to the extent of the bobbin net branches. The warp woollen cloth trade is in feet extending both in Nottingham and Norwich.— Netts Review.

MANUFACTURES.—BRADFORD, Jan. 30. Yarns : There is a steady unprofitable humans doing, and the spinners are now, for the sake of keeping their hands toge ther during winter, preferring this course to allowing the machinery to be idle. The latter course would inflict tem porary suffering on the operative, brat it is the only way to iing about a healthy trade, for during the shame of the buyers for export, yarns have sunk to a price far below what they can be made for. Pieces: The mailufacturen complain that their department ►as not been worse for many years, and that both cotton, worsted, and labour are decidedly dearer than when they could realise the same price for their goods. The advance on the staple and labour has lever been realised on goods, and the late reduction hu been " mu of the quick." THE CORN TRADE.—Butiarsommic, JAN. 30. —ln taking • brief review of the corn trade during the past year, it wi.l be seen that the highest general average prise of what per quarter for the United Kingdom was 4.M. Id. for the week ending Aug. 12; end the lowest 36e. lid. for that ending May 6; being a difference of 7.. 2d. per quarter ; whilst the highest average for Birmingham was 455. 2d., end the lowest 375. 10d. Teen fluctuations are small compared with many former years, under a system of monopoly. Not. withstauding the deficiency of the crop in some parts of the kingdom, especially in the eastern esunti•s, it will be seen that the segregate average price of wheat for England and Wales, in 1850, was a 2:1. per quarter lower than in 1149, the former being 40s. 4d. and the latter 445. 64.; and this depression existed concurrently with a high relative pries, of meat and potatoes, and the stimulus given to con sumption by the generally "vaporetti condition of the working claim's. The circumstances which have mainly contributed to produce this result are, we believe, a better yield of wheat than was anticipated in the midland and southern districts of this kingdom: a heavy crop in France, which enabled exporters from thence to supply us largel with both wheat and flour, the latter being of superior qual ity; and a greater import from the other corn growing districts of Europe and America than was expected. The g I impression immediately after har• vest that our wheat crop was below an average led to some heavy shipments from the Baltic, the United Stater, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea, which have occasioned salmis losses to the parties interested. These supplies ' would probably have produced a still greater depression, had not a constant, large, and increasing demand for Ire ' land absorbed so considerable a portion of the imports. In addition to the direct arrivals in the Irish ports, it is esti mated that eat of about 650,000 quarters of Sleek Sea whist, width wee addressed to Quseastown end Falmouth for orders dariag the last six months of 1850, nearly 400,000 quarters were taken on Irish account ; and although Wale quantity, particularly of the inferior qualities, is still in sunbeam there, yet by far the greater proportion has gene into sonmunption. Out tmports, however, of foreign wheat, flour, and meal, ia 1850, were only 12,227 quarters greater than in 1849 ; yet the stock in warehouses at the end of last year is estimated at about one-third more than at the same period in 1849. Even with the theressed facilities of oommicacation, and Ike wide Male from which applies ars drawn under a system of free trade, we certainly did net anticipate at the commencement of last year that our prises would rule quite so low as they have dons • and we Auld later from this experience, that whoa Engl and is the only smutty requiring a large import of wheat, our fusers mania safely adulate upon obalanzich beyond 40s. per quarter for wheat. This state of mast , howover, he maidered the exception, not the rale ; rases especially, has on an average of seams bees an importing instead of an exporting aunty of wheat; and with aa increasing population, whose 'beading snide of food is bread, we may . reasuably Weslaco upon her mating to herfor mer position. It is probable the crop of wheat in Frain will in future have snore effect upon our prices than that of any other country. We have no data upon which to form an opinion with any degree of confidence as to the rugs of prima between the premed time and harvest; we do not under any circumstances expect mush farther reduction ; and we are not sanguine of a considerable advance upon our present quotations, if the appearance of the growing crop continue favourable, and there should be no revival of the spirit of speculation in grain ; and although generally there must continua to be a loss on imports, without a material reduction in prime abroad, or en advance here, this will not, we believe, prevent a considerable quantity of foreign wheat dada, its way to Great Britain daring the spring and summer, which will be sold at a market value without re buses to its cost. It will be seen from the sneezed tables that the average price of wheat in 1850, was mush below that is any year during the present century, meet in 1835, when it was less by le. per quarter ; sad the average value last year of all ether grain k lower than it has been for at least a quar ter of a coatury. The prim of bailey was very low during the spring, and for some time good grinding qualities barely realised 17a per quarter; but Rom this point there has been an advance of about 61. per quarter ; there is a mate rial &Wag off in the import of this grain compared with 1849; sad we think the stock in England L lighter than is ure. , I T the cue at this season of the year. Oats, we believe, p an average crop, bat is some parbi of they were apcoted to be toddled; at the lowest point aims harvest, good Irish white ems have with us been worth only 17s. per quarter; sabesqesetly they have admired 2s. to is. per quarter with light Fte, bat quite meal to the demand, the 'applies of this la quarter having for NON time been liberal , crop of bens la Engiand was probably one• third short of an average in 1850, but the quantity held our harvest of the previous year's growth was lap. Gar applies hem Pram* and Egypt have also been mosiderable, and they have set borne a relative value even to oats, though the consumption for pig feeding in the autumn was greet. Peas were nearly as deildent as beans, bat this had little effect on prices, sad the supply was fully equal to the demand .

There are se many rumours about, that, with many of my neighbours who are leaseholders, I am in a state of perfect perplexity as to what is about to be done. lam told, on pretty rood authority, that the 1 new bridge will certainly be erected on the old site ; that Kr. Barry has quite changed his opinion abo u t the bridge being injurious to the new horses; but that he wishes the new structure to be 100 feet broad, and flatter than the present one, allowing 18 feet only from high-water mark to the key-stone of the arches. To this propmal, I hear, the City Navigation Committee object, and say they must have 26 feet clear above high•water mark.

WINDING-UP OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. HEREFORD AND MERTHYR RAlLWAY.—Yester day, his Honour Muter Richards proceeded with the settle ment of the list of contributories, brought is by Mr. Wrsglite, the official manager, and his solicitor, Mr. Valiance. The names of those who paid the deposit and signed the deed were placed upon the list, while those who had not signed the deed but who paid, the deposit, as well as than who had signed the deed hut had not paid the deposit, were struck off. The proceeding to wind up is on the petition of the Hon. F. Berkeley, M.l , and the line in connexion with We Gloucester and Aberystwith was to form a grand trunk line for Central Willa. Mr. Wryghte, the official manager, stated, that out of the 400,0001. proposed capital, the direeton only slime, ded in receiving 7001. by way of deposit, and that the total claims to be paid eff, for which a very small call would be necessary, were 1151. exclusive of the costs of wiudiog up.

The total number of shares on which a call will have to be made is 170, the official manager having omitted from the list all the alluttees and persons not liable under the law se it now stands. ROYAL BANE OF AUSTRALIA. Yesterday the meeting before his Honour, Muter Richards, to proceed with the supplemental list, coasts' tog et executors and trustees, was adjourned, Messrs.

It appeared from the company's books and executorial accounta, that dividends and calls bad been paid out of the estate in respect of these shares, but only, it is alleged, with the knowledge of one of the executors. CAMERON'S COALSROOK, STEAM COAL, SWANSEA, AND LOVOHOB.—Yesterday, the halt-yearly entetini, of this compaook place at the offices in Moorgateetreet, City. E. O. Winthrop,Vi E.g., took the chair. Mr. flowdes, the secretary, read the report, which was to the affect that the directors were happy to report the improving condition of trade in the South Wales district, in which the mines of this company are aituate.t. The construction of the float at Swansea by the corporation, and the improvements to be made under the Swansea Dock Act, made it essential for the director-, having still the same high opinion of the value of this undertaking, to take preliminary measures, for the purpose of obtaining en extension of time for the construc tion of the works of the railway, the parliamentary powers expiring in August next. It was with pleasure they perceived that the South Wales Railway Company were determined to proceed in the construction of their important line westward, the consequence of which would he, that by the construction of only one mile of railway, the thialbro4 steam cool fields would be reached, thus affording to this company the benefit* so long required of a ready railway transit to the port of Swansea, in addition to the one now oonstructing by the company to the port of Llanelly. These circumstances in the opinion of the directors considerably en hanced the previous value of this undertaking, and rendered it most desirable to apply for further time, so that the large outlay already incurred might not be lost to the shareholders. The Chairman, in moving the adop.ion of the report, said it being now clear that the South Wales Rai.way would be continued on put their coal property, he thought it was only common prudence in the directors to endeavour to keep to themselves a railway in which already much money had been expended. With this view, preliminary notices had been given for parliament, which could, if not approved, be stopped by this meeting. By continuing this company now, they would be thing it under the prorpect of that railway ac commodation being provided by otners which they had hitherto had no means of carrying out themselves. Titers was another advantage in going on with this line, which was, that the fLuth Wales Company might offer them a very headroom sum for it, seeing they had their act of parliament and everything prepared. (Hear.) Mr. Hughes seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was agreed to unanimously; and, after a brief conversation respecting the prospects of the company, the meeting adjourned. THE IRON TRADE,—MERTRYR.—There are signs of increased activity in the iron works of this district, in anticipation of an improved spring trade. 'I here is, how ever, no prospect of an advance in wages, and, inconsequence of the unfavourable weather, a number of persoas are out of employ. For the Plymouth furnaces, a steam engine of 80. horse power, for supplying blast, has just been started. By the erection of these engines, the works are becoming inde pendent of the waters of the River Taff; so that, in future, the workmen will not be inconvenienced or thrown out of employ by an insuf f icient supply of water, se hitherto has often been the case. At Dowlan, two additional rolling mills have been started, and two other mills are in course of con. 'traction. Excavators are busily engaged in digging the foundations of another mill at Cyfartha.

IMPROVEMENT VC PAINTING IRON SHIPIL—A private trial of an apparatus for warming the plates of iron ships while in the graving dock was made en Friday, at Messrs. Garnett and Moore's North Foundry. The great difficulty of drying the plates of iron ships to make them in a fit state for painting, has been long felt, while the ordinary methods of warming them have been tedious and troublesome, as well as very uncertain. The machine tried on Friday consists of a small (muse* of plate iron, lined with brick, to which is attached a small fan. The whole is very compact, and is placed on wheels, and is moved by two handles like a wheelbarrow. The fan, being set in motion by a winch, drives a rapid current of air through the fire, which is of hard coke, and this parses out through a pipe of eight inches diameter. This pipe has at the bottom a universal joint, so that it can be moved in any direction. The mode of using it is as follows:—The machine being placed in the graving-dock, a boy turns the fan, while a man directs the pips to the bottom or side of the ship. By these means a powerful current of hot air is jetted on the plates, which BOWS become dry and warm and in a fit state for painting. The trial was made misuse large plates with water poured upon them, and the result was very satin factory. It will shortly be applied to an iron vessel. The apparatusia the invention of Mr. Grantham, who has ob tained a palest for it.—Liverpool Albion. ROYALTY IN A COAL PlT.—Some month. Binae two ladies and a gentleman, Germans, applied to Mr. Laws, the resident agent at Springwell Colliery, near Newcastle, for permission to go down one of the Ella and inspect the method of working the coal.
