Bacions.-Bv. LBONAIRD'II Hos rrraL, NEWARI.—This was the petition of the Attorney - General for leans to Me a bill of review. The original in- Ibrmation stated an set of parliament of 16 Charles I. re• • citing that the hospital of St. Leonard's at Newark had loon before memory founded for the maintenance of a few poor people, and that in 1417 the Bishop of Lin o made an order for the regulation of the chanty. The present master of the hospital had been appointed in 1788. The question raised by the information was, w hether the master was en ; titled to the surplus rents and profits after providing for the - ,inkkein "lithe charity. At the hearing the master of the aßrrt WO directed to approve of a scheme fir the future me ad* charity, the court intimating its opinion =r at psdrenting the trusts, the matter would be en * •111kd reds midge. The present petition stated that since - Ike bare*, evidence had been discovered of t he contents of the *IOW foundation deed, and on this ground the At torney-General made the present application.—Meson. Tides, Turner, and Blunt supported the petition; Messrs. iimissaley and De Ciex, for the master of the hospital, did not the application, it being understood that all objeo , =hould be open at the hearing of the new infortnauon.

HILES e. 1.11001117-4CCOUNTS BITW/liN SOLICITOR AND CLIRNT.—The Vice Chancellor delivered judgment in this ' ease, which was heard in December last. The application wee for • rehearing ef • cause, which was instituted for the dane of investigating certain accounts that had been re ed as settled accounts, and that the securities in the de t's hands should be declared to be only valid for the amount actually received, and that certain conveyances should be set made.—The Vice-Chancellor said the principal question in this cue was, whether the accounts should stand as they were, or whether they should be re-opened on the ground of the relation of solicitor sad client which existed between Mr. Moore and the plaintiff. It appeared to his honour that beyond all doubt the relation of attorney and client did subsist ; and it had been decided by Lord Reclesdele and also by Lord Eldon, in eases whirl emu before them upon several occasions, that where this re lation existed and the solicitor hul taken security from his client, it was necessary by extrinsic evidence to show what advances had been made by the client. His honour con sidered himself concluded by these authorities, and he must . allow the accounts to be opened ; but this would not extend to third persons, who did not stand in relation of solicitor and client—their rights could not be prejudiced. A question . had been raised as to the payment of interest upon certain moneys said to have been laid out upon repairs. His honour thought the fairest thing was, under the circum stances alleged in this cue, to allow interest upon suck re- CLARK V. ARCRIBALD.—BILL AGAINST A RAILWAY COXPANY.—DINLORRIR ovnaniumn.—This cue came on upon demurrer to a bill, filed by , plaintiff on behalf of himself and all other the shareholders in the Staffordshire And Shropshire Railway Company against the de ft:dant, who was • member of the provisional _commit toe. It appeared that the railway in question was projected . in the yea- 1845, and the plaintiff applied for and obtained thirty shave in the undertaking. It was then a ivertised that all the shares had been allotted, and the plaintiff, on the faith of this representation, paid up the deposits upon his shares, amounting to 821., and signed the parliamentary con • tract. The plaintiff subsequently took 170 more shares in an undertal tug for an extension of this railway. It appeared, however, tk at the whole of the deposits were not paid up, and the directon being unable to proceed with the affairs of the compuy, a meeting was called, under the act of pull*. ment passed for that purpose, end it was resolved that the company should be dissolved without bankruptcy. The members of the managing committee then retired, and kept the residue of the funds, amounting to 15,7001., the hands of the defendant. The bill alleged that the rights of all the shareholders were identical with those of the plaintiff, and it prayed an account against the defendant, and that the court would declare that the plain tiff and the other shareholders were only liable to pay so much of the expenses as they would have been justly liable to pay in case all the deposit' had been paid up. The bill then prayed that the surplus might be paid over to the share holders, and that the deiendant might be restrained from interfering further in the affairs of the company.— Mr. Bethell and Mr. Lloyd appeared in support of a gene ral demurrer the ill Vice-Chancellorsnd Mr. Jones in support of the bill.—The said he did not see how this bill could be maintained. It was alleged that there bad been a dereliction of duty in several persons besides the defendant, and one person alone was made a defendant upon the record. It was impossible to admiaister justice unless other persons wbo were members of the company were made parties. He did not think that the statements in the bill were sufficiently intelligible for the court to come to any decision upon the question. His opinion was, as he had stated in a case now upon appeal before the Lord-Chancellor, that • bill should be fairly intelligible, so that any person of ordinary understand ing could find out the meaning of it. It should not merely be English, but intelligible English. Under these circum stances he should allow the demurrer ; and he did not see that there would be any use in giving permission for the bill to he amended, as he thought the whole scheme was wrong, end it seemed to be an endeavour on the part of the plaintiff to slip into some relief on the ground merely of his being the sole plaintiff. Before Vier llor Knight Brace. 8/1180)1 v. EDORWORTH.—RAILWAY LIMBILITIM—This was a suit instituted by a shareholder in the Wreshius, Nantwich, sod Crewe Railway Company, on behalf of him self and the other shareholders, not defendants, praying that the accounts of the company might be taken, and the assets d among the shareholders. A demurrer had been al lowed to the bill as it originally stood, with leave to amend. The cause now came on to be heard on a plea to the amended bill, the substance of the plea being that a shareholder had taken proceedings at law to recover the whole of his deposit —Mr. Bacon and Mr. Fieeling, in support of the plea, contended that the bill could not he considered as filed on behalf of all the shareholders other than the defendants, when one of them, instead of being contented wi'h the relief sought by the bill, took proceedings to recover his whole deposit —Mr. Russell and Mr. A. Chlsholme Anstey supported the bill The Vice• Chancellor allowed the plea, but gave the plaintiff leave to amend again. Before WILSON V. BRORT.—CONTRACT MISREPRESENTATION. —The particulars of this ease were stated in this journal in the report of the argument in November last. His Honour now delivered judgment. The plaintiffs, it will be remem bered, had advanced 2.5001. to one Bright upon the security of certain contracts, which the latter was under for the pur chase of 3,000 tone of pig iron. The defendants, Meters. Short and Mahony, were employed by Bright as his broken in the transactions, and upon completing the coutracts they gave to him " bought notes " stating the quantity and price of the iron sold, but aot disclosing the names of the sellers. The plaintiff', before advancing their money to Bright, inquired of Messrs. Short and Mahony whether the de posit upon the contracts had been paid, and why the sellers' names did not appear upon the notes ? The defendants in answer stated that the deposit bad been paid, and assured the plaintiffs that there were bona-fide sellers in the transaction, and that there was nothing unusual in the concealment of their names, as there were many speculators in iron who were unwilling that their names should be dieclosed. They offered also to guarantee the fulfilment of the contract by the sellers. The money was then advanced to Bright, by whom the bought notes, together with the benefit of the contracts, were transferred to the plaintiffs. The price of iron having afterwards fallen considerably the plaintiffs urged Bright either to give them ow additional security, or at once to get the iron sold. Nego (*aloha were then set on foot for that purpose, in the course of which it was discovered that the defendants Short and Mahony were themselves the only sellers in the trans actions with Bright. The plaintiffs then applied to Short and Mahony for a repayment of the deposits, and upon their refusal to comply filed the present bill, praying for such r epayment, and that the contract in question might he declared void.—The defence set up waa, that the plaintiffs and Bright had throughout been aware of the fact that the defendants were the only sellers, and that Bright, if any one, was the only person entitled to claim the relief which was sought by the Honour, after going through the facts and the evidence in the cause, made a decree for payment of the deposit, with interest, to the plaintiffs, together with their costs of suit.—Messrs. Hominy, Bacon, Rolt, Hare, and Cole appeared for the different parties upon the record. COURT OF QUEEN' Banco. S BENCH. Sittings in Lit1:111 v. BOTDELL.—IiaroaTANT POINT IN THE NEW IlleoLvENT .ACT.—In this case, which was an action on a biller exchange tried before Lord Denman at the sittings after last term, at Guildhall, when there was a verdict for • the plaintiff, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., moved an 'nest of judg ment. The defendant had pleaded that after the accruing of • the cause of action, and before the commencement of the sue, he bad filed a petition, according to 6 & 6 Vic., c. 16, in the Court of Bankruptcy, and that a final order for pro teetion and distribution was made. presentedff replied that at the time when such petition wasthe defendant owed divers debts, and had not any property or debts due to him, or any . estate or effects whatever. To which the de fendant rej , ined that he had a certain debt of 21. 15s. due to him at the time from one Thomas Pearson. A cur-rejoinder denied this tact. At the trial they called Pearson, and he (Mr. Knowing must admit that he did not make out the re joinder ; but he should contend that the petition and final order were a sufficient defence to the action. The point had not arisen before ; and it seemed that a notion was enter tained that the act to which he had referred only ap plied where a party seeking to take advantage of it had some estate to be distributed among his creditor,. Now he submitted that to be an error ; and, at all events, that it was a matter for the decision of the commissioner before whom it came ; and after he had decided and granted his final order, that was an answer to any action for any debt Which existed prior to the petition being filed. As to the necessity of a petitioner having some estate, he apprehended that the words which would be relied on in favor, of that construction were only introduced for the purpose of se canng a who had no distribution of the estate where there was one; but aparty estate of course stood in need of the prulaions of the act more than any one the, and it was the Intention of the tct to relieve iuch person'. He did not, however, suppose that any one would take the benefit of the let in question who was not pressesed of haltiverows. and even if he only had that sum it would be sufficient.—Mr. Juatice Coleridge : Althonh a man may not have any m ust estate he might acqUre some -afterwards for diMiliu tiora.—Mr. Knowles so regarded it, and contended that the 10th seethe of the eat was aa absolute bar to the action. — Rule granted. Tics Qua= C. CZAILIITIN Lien *minus. —Mr. Cock burn, Q.C., en being called on to move, said that in the ease of "The Queen Charritle and others," tried before Lord Denman at the sittinp after last term, at Guildhall. notic• had been given that the defendants would be brought up for judgment and as he represented one of th.m—Eir W. Young—he begged to give notice that when be was brought up for judgment, he should move misdirection, aside the verdict and for a new trial on the ground of and that the verdict was against the evidence. Ex PARTS COSISITT.—HAIRAS COW:M.—Mts. Cobbett a pplied for a writ of habeas corm to iss directed d t beforeo the keeper of the Queen's prison, to bring her husban their lordships, in order that he might be discharged, on the ground that he had been on Christmas eve fosubly taken out of the plum in which he had been for a long time con fined, and placed in a felon's cell. He bad been removed from No. Ste No. 1 in the prison, without an order from any court.—Lord Denman (having first tent to inquire the decision of the Court of Exchequer on a similar application by Mr. Cobbett to that court), said that he found the Court of Exchequer had remanded Mr. Cob bett to the custody of the keeper of the Queen's prison, for the purpose of determining a point which they had now under consideration ; and as he might obtain the relief which he sought for from the Court of Exchequer, he thought the Court of Queen'. Bench could not interfere until the other court had Riven its decision ; and if that did net afford the required relief, Mrs. Cobbett had better make mother application —Mrs. Cobbett thanked the court and , retired. BAIL COURT. Before Mr. Justice Erie. QUICK. O. WOHJILAT.—Sti Imo IN a PZIONID NAME. — Mr. Miller applied for • rule to show cause why Messrs. Kingdom and Shepherd, attorney s, . should not be called upon to answer certain maiden in the affidavit of one Mr. T. Quick, of Lee-terrace, Blackheath. From the affidavit it appeared that in July, 1847, a Mr. Bar rett applied to Mr. Simpson, • solicitor, to bring en action against Mr. Worsley, the defendant in this case, on a bill of exchange far 2001. Mr. Simpson handed Mr. Barrett over to Messrs. Kingdom and Shepherd, who sued the defendant on behalf of • Mr. T. Quick, of Lee-plane, Blackheath, who was represented on the trial to be the holder of the bill. The affidavit went on to state that the deponent was not the holder of the bill, nor in feet did he know anything about it; that he resided at Lee terrace, Blackheath, not Lee-place, se stated at the trial. The learned counsel submitted that although Mr. Quick had not been injured by the use of his name; yet, had the:verdict been found for the defendant, he would have been liable for the costs, and could not have pleaded that his name had been used improperly, so as to prevent execution from being issued. Under these circumstances, he thought that the court would teke notice of the irregular conduct of its officers.—Mr. Justice Erie thought no rule ought to be granted in this case, which was en appli cation against an officer of the court by • party who sought redress. He thought it should be first esta blished that Gush party had received some damage. Mr. Quick had sustained no damage, and he made this applies. lion because, under some circumstances which did not occur, tmight have done DO. Then he only assumed that he was e party whose name hail been used, because it was the same Christian name and surname, and nearly the same residence. It seemed to bins, therefore, that the learned counsel was calling for a swat extraordinary interposition of the powers of the court, which the facts did not warrant.— , Rule refund. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sitting. in Bozo. BCHON e. DINMVC—The trial at bar in this case we. fined, yesterday, upon the application of Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., for the 14th of February neat. LAW V. DOOD.—RIGHTS or DUST CONTRACTORS. — This was an action of trespass fur assault and false imprisonment brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, who was dust contrac.or of lloundsditch under the provisions of the 37 Geo. 111., e. 29 (the Metropolitan Paving Act) At the trial, which took place at Guildhall, during the last sittings before the Lord Chief Baron, it appeared that the plaintiff, who was servant to a person who carried on the business of a metal refiner, was discovered removing a quantity of cinders and stuff which seemed to be common rubbish from the brass foundry of Mr. Ellis, in the vicinity of Houndstlitch. Ile was given into custody for violating the paving act, and unlawfully depriving the defendant of the rubbish I which he was found in the ant of removing. The result was—the present action was brought, and a verdict baring passed foe the plaintiff for 40s. damages , Mr. Godson, Q C., moved yesterday for a rule, calling on the plaintiff to show GAM why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of mis direction. The stuff which the plaintiff was removing was, it appeared, known by the name of " wash dirt." It con sisted of ashes, cinders, coke, odd pieces of metal, and drippings of castings. Upon its subjection to a certain pro cess, small pieces of metal were extracted, and thereby some profit realised. Mr. Ellis was in the habit of giving it as a perquisite to his servants, of whom the plaintiff's employer purchased it at 2s. 6d. a load. On his behalf, it was con tended at the trial, that the stuff was en article of trade and commerce, to which the defendant was not entitled, under Lis contract as parish dustman, and on the other hand, it was argued that it fell within that description of rubbish to which he was entitled.—The Lord Chief Baron told the jury that the defendant was not entitled to claim " wash dirt" under his contract if they were of opinion that it was a sub ject of sale for the purposes of commerce or manufacture. The jury adopted that suggestion and found for the plaintiff. —The le irned counsel submitted that as Mr. Eli, admitted that wash dirt was mere refuse, and composedamongat other stuff of the contents of the ash pits, it became the property of the defendant by virtue of his contract ; and even Mr. Ellis had no right to sell it or give it to his servants as • per quisite.—The court thought the points were properly left to the jury and that the verdict should not be disturbed. The -'- refused. ADMIRALTY COURT. Before Dr. Lushington. THE CHRISTINA.—TowAos.—This was a suit commenc, by the owners of a steam tug against the Christina for 81. earned by towing the barque from the Lower Hope to the City Canal, in Limehouse Reach. The Lass of Gowrie the tug in question, performed the service up to the Rach, when she threw off the rope and the Christina ran foul of the Mary Clarke a collier lying at the buoy at the entrance of the canal. The owners of the Christina refused the claim, and contended that the cause of the collision was the fault of the tug.—Dr. Addams and Dr. Twins appeared for the tug, and stated that the fault lay with the pilot, who, after the rope . was thrown off, ought to have ported the helm of the Christina and gone to the westward, by which the collision would not bare taken place. The pilot, too had ordered the towage to commence before daylight, contrary to the express rules of the Trinity House. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Jenner for the Christina submitted that as the orders of the pilot were not obeyed, the tug bad no right to compensation. The learned judge held that there was an implied contract that the tug should take the brig safely to her destination ; and owing to the throwing off of the rope, contrary to the orders of the pilot, the claim to compensation could not be entertained. Claim dismissed with costs. THE OSCAR.—SALVAOI3.—This was a cue of salvage per formed to the Oscar on the 3rd of September last, in getting her in Yarmouth harbour. The action was entered at the sum of 5001. The evidence was most contradictory, as usual in very many cases of this description. There were two sets of salvors, the Oscar having &rat been run into midships in the Wold, when the aid of a steamer was signalised for and obtained. One plea was that the captain was intoxicated, but this was distinctly denied. The arguments in this cause were only in part heard. Assignations were subsequently disposed of. SHERIFF'S COURT. Before Mr. Undereheriff Borchelt. SMITH AND Win V. PITT.—COMTENBATIoN TOR DUCAT DONE BY DRIVINO.—This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages in an action to recover compensation for injuries sustained by this plaintiff, Mrs. Smith, by reason of the de fendant's conduct. The circumstances out of which this cue arose have already been reported in the Express. The defendant, the Hon. Horace Pitt,, a major in the army, and brother to Lord Rivers, was driving to the Nine Elms railway station, and while passing over Vauxhall-bridge his vehicle came into violent collision with a chaise-cart in which were the plaintiffs. The consequence was, that great per sonal injuries were sustained by both Mr. Smith and his wife, and serious damage done to the cart. Mr. Smith brought an action in his own name to recover compensation, which he did to the extent of 801, and the present action was brought by him jointly with his wife, to recover for the personal suffering endured by the latter. The same evidence as given on the former trial was again gone into, and the jury awarded Mrs. Smith 301. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commissioner Yaw. IN RE COATEB AND HILLARD, AMERICAN MERCHANTS. —These bankrupts were American merchants, of Bread street, Cheapside, end other places, and this was a meeting for the choice of auig sees. The failure, including claims by the American creditors, amounts to about 70,0001., and to meet this sum it was understood that there was about 6,0001. worth of assets in this country, and about 14,0001. in Ame rica. Several proofs were tendered, including one by Mr. Peabody of 8,0001. —Mr. Reed objected to this proof, on the ground that it required investigation, and that he became possessed of certain securities under circumstances which would require explanation.—The learned commissioner or dered the proof to stand over. Debts to the extent of about 42,0001. were proved during the day, and the assignees chosen nitre Mr. John Dillon, Mr. Twentyman, Mr. Browitt, aud Mr. Baker, of the firm of Baker, Tucker, and Co. - - WESTMINSTED.C.M C oshe, Esq.

BAWL—IMPORTANT J VDOWENT.--ATTORN water BY TRNANT IN POSSRSSION TO SUPERIOR LANDLORD APTIR TRRIIINATION OF BUB-LANDLORD'S TENANCY ET NOTIOI • BAR TO ACTION FOR RENT NT BUR-LANDLORD. — This was en action brought by the plaintiff against the de ' fendaut to recover the sum of 64. 12e. for one quarter's rent for the use and occupation of certain premises occupied by the defendant, and alleged to be held of the pla , ntiff, situate in Red Cross-street, Southwark. The defendant did not deny that he occupied the premises in question, but insisted that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover, his tenancy Meal; bees determined by notice, and he (the defendan t) having subsequently attorned tenancy to the superior land lord. The case was fully argued before the learned judge upon the point of law, the whale of the facts being admitted, on the previous conaday, and stood ever for judgment —His Honour, in giving judgment, said the premises in question had been demised by a parol agree. ment from the superior landlord, the agent of Mrs. Corner, to the plaintiff, at a certain annual rent. The plaintiff had afterwards sublet the premises to the defendant, and in respect of which he had received rent. Circumstance. had, h o wever, arisen, which had induced the o r iginal landlord to determine the tenancy of the plaintiff in the premises, and he had given a written notice to that effect, expiring on the let day of April last, being the termination of the year's occupancy. That notice was served on the defendant as the tenant in actual possession, and at its termination he continued not only to occupy the premises, but attorned to aid paid the rent of th pr em ises to the superior landlord. The plaintiff, however, had contended that he was net precluded by such attorament from his right to recover against the defendant, and that the notice was inoperative for any other purpose than that of ejectment, and that the tenant in }mansion could not atturn to the prejudice of his own immediate landlord, who was presumed to be in possession, and that his so doing would operate as fraud and collusion to obtain possession which could not legally Learned Judge was of opinion that the present action could not be maintained, and that judgment must be entered for ' the defendant —Mr. Fitch, for the plaintiff, said that if that was the judgment of the court, the matter could not rest there, and that he i.hould advise an action of trespass, and ' take the opinion of the court above, as there were plenty of cases to show that the plaintiff could not be ousted of his tenancy by any act of the defendant except by an action of ejectment. —The learned Judge said he was quite satisfied on the point, and directed judgment to be entered for the defendant with costs. ARLBOROLJOH-STREBT.—RIDING 100 MILES IN Settns.—Mr. Thomas, the mieretary of the Royal Se aler he the Prelrention of enmity to Animals, applied to Mr. Hardwick for • summons against a gentleman well known in the sporting circles, named Nunn, for cruelty to a horse. Mr. Thomas said that a hone was seen staggering along Bond•strest at a late hour one night in the early part of the week, supported by two men, while the man who rode the exhausted animal was whipping and spurring it without irdeemiesion. The rider got es far as Long's Hotel end then ihinessated. The hone wes removed to an adjacent stable end alsertly afterwards died. It was reported that the owner of the horse had made a bet that he would ride his hone him Leamington to Long's Hotel, about 100 miles, in 12 boors. He won his wager, but the horse loot its life. The society had received information of this case, end they had given him polities instruotions to take immediate steps to pat the law in fore* against all Forties instrumental in this est of cruelty. His application was, therefore, for a summons st Mr. Nunn to answer a charge of crue l ty .—Mr.Hard- Zawished to know how the summons was to be served, as be understood the party was at Leamington.—Mr. Thomas implied that he would take the summons himself, and see that ft was properly served at Leamington, if required.—A sum mons was then !tented, to be heard on Wednesday. OBTAINING MON/ 'I UNDBIL FAIJa Pnerretess.—A. Davis, slim ',afford, was charged with wilful and corrupt perjury, and with obtaining from C. Lloyd, Esq., of 7, Lower Ilrookedreet, 101., by fraudulent pretences.—Mr. Humphreys appeared foe the prosecu tion, and stated that the prisoner had, in the first instance, fraudulently obtained 101. from the prose cutor for the purpose of supplying certain information o against • gang f fell we who were carrying on an extensive system of poisoning race horses. T he next case, which was that of perjury, was, that the prisoner attended at this court on Tuesday last, and made a statement before the magistrate to the above effect, implicating persons of high birth, whale names were not meetioned. This statement he swore to, and signed in the presence of the magistrate, and a warrant was taken out for the apprehension of the parties named therein.-3. Shackell, inspector in the detec. tire police, stated that on Tuesday last he attended at the court with the prisoner, Mr. Lloyd, and Lord Henry Lennox. The prisoner made a deposition before Mr. Bishop, the clerk, which was afterwards read over to him before the magistrate in the court, and the prisoner signed it in his presence. The prisoner had previously sworn tote truth of the statement. In consequence of this information a warrant was granted, and placed in his hands. The prisoner gave him three let tere, one of which he had since posted, the other two he now produced. They were sealed with black wax, as they appeared now. They had been opened by the prisoner, end resealed by him again. The prisoner led him about to various plans till half-put one o'clock yesterday morning, to search for some of the parties named in the warrant, but they did not succeed in finding any such persons. The prisoner then promised to meet him at nine yesterday morning, but he failed to keep his appointment. From information he had subsequeutly received he believed the deposition to be a fabrication. He had inquired at No. 13, Castle-street, Finsbury, where the prisoner had stated he resided, but could find no person of the prisoner's name. The prisoner was known by the name of Davis to the owner of the house, who had not seen him since the 6th of last month.--C. Lloyd, Esq., 7, Lower Broolustreet, Greavenur-square ' said he was present at this court on Tuesday last with the pri soner. He sew the prisoner sworn to the depositions pro. duced before Mr. Bingham. Previous to that the prisoner had given him some letters and packets with the word " poison" printed upon them. In the month of December last the prisoner came to him and obtained 101. from him, and gave him the receipt produced, which was to the effect that be received the 101. for the use of his (prisoner's) father, to fetch up from Wales witnesses to give evidence regarding horse poisoning. He had every reason to believe that the prisoner's father was dead.—Cross-exa mined by the prisoner The prisoner told him that if he gave him 101. his father would bring persons to prove the truth of his statement. The prisoner subsequently told him that his fath, r would deceive him, end would not give (thehe !tames of all the parties,. and that for a reward he prisoner) would deceive his father, and get some im portant letters from his desk and bring them to witness. Witness told him if that was the case he would reword and him from the gang.—Emily Baker, waitress at Mr. protect him coffee-house, City road, knew the prisoner, who was in the habit of frequently using her master's house for about seven weeks. The pri soner seemed to be occupied mostly in writing. lie Incite with blue ink; which he brought with him. lie was at their house the previous morning.

Rubridqe was charged with having as saulted Battersby, 124 D.—Battersby stated that that morn ing, between one and two o'clock, he first saw the prisoner and another who was with him in Cumberlend-street, Hyde park, and afterwards observed them lurking about Bryan ston-rquare. Ile asked them if they were waiting for any one, and where they lived, when the prisoner told him with an oath, he would break his jaw if he didn't have him alone. Ile and his companion then went on, followed by witness. when the priroaer asked what right witness had to follow them, and immediately kicked him (witness) violently upon the leg. Witness then collared him, upon which prisoner kicked him again in • similar way, at the same time crying out murder. He gave his address, Princess-N.—Prisoner in de fence mid : When Battersby came up, he asked us what we had got in our pockets, and wanted to search us, which we objected to, knowing we had done nothing, and were going quietly home. On our road thither he said, with an oath, he would knock my brains out, and laying hold of my neckerchief nearly strangled me. I had in the first instance told him that the street was not a proper place for him to search me in, but that if taken to the station he might do what he might think fit. He knew my friend who was with me very wellE. Hayman, who was with the prisoner, corroborated his statement —Mr. Long asked what reason the officer had for telling the poisoner he wanted to search him 2—Bath rsby thought he might have had an intention to commit felony. Could not say that he knew anything g ainst him or his companion. — Mr. Long was of opinion that the officer had no right to insist upon searching either of the parties, as he knew nothing at all against them, and the prisoner ought not to have been locked up.--lnspecter Daniels said that in consequence of numerous robberies which had lately been committed in the neighbourhood the police had received strict orders to keep a sharp look out.—Mr. Long was satisfied from the evidence adduct d that the officer had no reasonable grounds for imagining that there was any intention of committing &felony, and accordingly the prisoner was discharged.

About September witness discovered a forgery on his bankers, and, suspecting the prisoner, sent another clerk to make inquiries after him. lie believed the body of the cheque and the name purporting to be witness's signature to be in the prisoner's handwriting.

GUILDHALL. —A POLITB 61lOrKISEPZIL—Mr. Allen, of the firm of Allen and Co., St. Pe ul's Churchyard, was sum th following circumstanees,by two ladies, whose case was stated by Mr. Clarkson. Mr. Allen not being prment, Mr. Clarkson said: On the 6th of January, Mrs. Richard son, the wife of Mr. Richardson, solicitor, and in the comp troller's conveyancing department of the Corporation, accom panied by Miss Richardson, entered defendant's shop, and asked for a pair of gloves out of the window, and the man left as they thought to bring them. After waiting a long time they became surprised that they were net being served, and presently observed Mr. Allen come to the centre of the shop, and immediately after a prlice.constable came in, when Mr. Allen made some communication to him. lie then left the constable and advanced towards the ladies, and addreued them in the following terms: " You are not respectable cha teeters. You are well-known. You have been insulted in this or other shops before. I wonder how you dare to come here ; and if you do not immediately leave the shop I will order the policeman to turn you out." The ladies were aghast at such treatment and left the shop, and the constable followed t b cm to another shop Mews. Bsiley and Ritchie's), close at hana, and it would be proved that the policeman went up to the shopman, who was standing at the door, and informed him of what Mr. Allen had told him, and also what had occurred in the shop. Fortunately for Mrs. and Miss Richardson they were personally known, and after remain ing there for a short time in a very excited state they re turned home, and informed Mr. Richardson of all that had transpired. That gentleman immediately communicated with his attorney, and the latter sent a letter to Mr. Allen. threatening to bring two actions, one on behalf of the husband and wife and the other on behalf of Miss Richardson, unless he would make an ample apology, or confess that be had mistaken the ladies for some one else. But Mr. Allen, in presence of the messenger, dung the note is the fire. The policeman would distinctly prove what Mr. Allen communicated to him, and what language he addressed to the ladies. These being the 1 facts, he hoped the megistrates would rant him a second I summons.—Aldermen Gibbs and Farebrother granted a • second summons for Monday next, and all parties left the court.

Accommodation therefore is little wanted, and if wanted in fact could be afforded to a small extent only, however the rates of discount were diminished, se long as the Bank, and all other banks and money dealers, as at present, limit their operations to the highest class of bill securities only. The Times, in its money market department, with a singularity of self-contradiction, commends by anti cipation the course which it was supposed the Bank should pursue. The invariable rule by which the Bank should conduct its business, as on multifarious occasions insisted on by the writer of that article was, that it should be governed by the relative proportions of supply and demand. That is, if money was abundant, and the reserve as well as bullion in Bank in prosperous condition, wf ilst the demand was sluggish and could not take off the excess, then that the rates of accommodation should be lowered, so as to stimulate demand, and relieve the Bank from a of inconvenient and unproductive capital. ur e d im i r :as the dogma of the Times, to remain unal tered and unalterable under all times and whatever circumstances. It was, therefore, with no small sur prise that the Solomon was yesterday found to unsay his own precepts, and commend a departure from his own standard principles. His argument now runs per contra. He says, la so many words, that as the tank is full of money to overflow, for which there is no call, therefore the wise policy should be, not to tempt demand by lower rates, but to maintain high rates of money to shut out demand. If the Times be right in the standard and invariable rule so long and dogmatically preached, it cannot be otherwise than wrong in the breach of rule recommended. The writer has fixed himself on the horns of a dilemma, where he may be left for election of the one by which he may wish to hang himself. In banking, as in commercial affairs, there can be no positive and unvarying rule of action established, beyond that line of prudence and adaptation to cis► eumstances the definition of which must be left to individual intelligence and capacity, working upon well understood means and appliances. The Bank WI England, untrammelled by absurd banking laws, might, with a reserve of three millions, and a stock of bullion no larger in [amount, fmd it quite prudent, I more prudent indeed, in the exercise of all proper caution, to increase its discounts and its circulation, at one time and under given circumstances, by one or two millions or more, than to widen its accommoda tion and increase its liabilities at another time with eight millions of metallic treasure, and a reserve of as much in band. The Bank broker was a buyer of Reduced Threes, Threc•and-a.Quarter per Cents., and Consols to-day, partly it was supposed to replace stock sold last year during the great pressure to draw in circulation, partly on account of parties for whose accommoda tion stock had been sold on the undertaking to re- 1 place it within a given period. There is a sort et mystery connected with the latter order of traumas tions which it is difficult to reconcile with the regular returns of the Bank. But these reports, in part at least authentic, had a considerable share in influene ing the rise of stocks to-day. It is stated in quarters entitled to authority that the Bank broker has had " pocket" orders to act for some days past according to circumstances. What, per haps, is the moot unfortunate feature of the pre sent movement upwards of the funds is the opi nion current, in the most respectable quarters, and quite unconnected with political partizanship, that the Treasury has been in league with, or has prompted, ' the Bank to be the leading party . to promote a facti tious rise in the funds, with a view to open the ad journed session nader more auspicious circumstances. The connexion between the government and the:Bank has always been liable to suspicious construction, and not seldom productive of great public prejudice.

AANRCRO, JAN. 4.—The Homburg merchants have bad ' a long debate respecting the introduction of the new regula tions of the Bourse, proposed by the commercial deputation; the chief speakers for their adoption were Messrs. Western, Wickman, and Ross. and against their adoption, Meows. Suss and Anni Chapeauronage. As the main changes had reference to the admission of the Isreelitish merchants to form a part of the corporation of merchants, the whole dis cussion turned upon this question, which was negatived by 196 against 119. The number of persons present was far greater, but they went away before the close. No new argu ment was brought forward for the admission of the Jews, far it had been previously stated that it was important not to deprive ourselves of the intelligence of the Israelitish mer chants. Mr. Western gave it as his opinion that the eman cipation of the Jews was the criterion of the standard of nisi ligation, and that it would be impossible to withstand this timely change much longer. The opponents to the admis sion of the Israelites founded their arguments partly on the assertions of the Israelites themselves, who declare that they prefer remaining in their present isolated position than to be admitted to the deliberations of the corporation only, with out being able to become dignitaries of the co rporation, si privilege which the minority would not grant ; they se they would either bare all or nothing.

MANCHESTER, J AN. 13.—There is not much change since Tuesday. Some sales have been made of low cloth for the Calcutta market, at low prices. For the Levant there is no diminution of demand either in cloth or yarns, but the Ger mans are doing nothing. The yarn-market is generally very much depressed, with rather lower prices. It is feared that many of the manufacturers who at the beginning of the month increased their production will have again to resort to short time, as they find it impossible to dispose of their productions. IRON MASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.—Bin- MINOHAM, Jan. 13.—The third of the public quarterly meetings of the ironmasters, for the current quarter, has been held here to-day. In one respect at least it contrasted in a remarkable manner with the meeting at Wolverhamp ton yesterday ; that was in the very large attendance here of those interested. In the matter of business, however, nothing was done. Buyers do not care to order at present rates, and the ironmesters themselves are careless about re ceiving orders, seeing that they are not in a condition to execute them. Every particle of information which I com municated in my report from Wolverhampton, received con firmation at the meeting to-day ;it is proper to add, how ever, tkat there is some difference of opinion amongst those whose experience and extensive concerns render their opinions the most valuable as to the probability of the price of iron touching a lower figure. Some of them are far from confideat that it will not do so, especially it the men were soon to return to their work, an event which is, seemingly, not very probable ; so that after all it will most likely be found that my prediction of yester- day approaches the nearest to the truth—that the iron trade has received its greatest shock. The largest makers are unanimous in the report that there never was, within their memory, a greater dearth of orders for iron, for all purposes, than there has been during the last three weeks ; nobody *a disposed to order a ton for which there is not immediate and absolute need. It is not merely that orders for rails have ceased to flow in, but those who make comparatively a small quantity of three have felt aqua, the depression. . For the general purpose of r a il way, large quantities of iron are necessarily required, b u t of late the companies have altogether abstained fe u " ordering. As a proof of this, I may cite the fact ( vouch e d for on the best authority) that a well-known and restag e " producer of the commodity, who has usually orders cal his books for many hundreds of tone of iron for the pum a , just referred to, has not now, nor has he for some time k e g; orders for so many hundredweights. The scarcity of operates, too, in a fearful degree to increase the difficult' '', and aggravate the effects, of the depression. D to facts only, I may cite this one, with the view to show little the money pre.sure has been alleviated hereabonta. it is, the remarkable instance that ironmuters, in the hiab ai i credit, have to-day been charged six per cent. for discounting the best bills. It need scarcely be added, in how much gr.p degree these high rates affect those whose capital and etc tit afford them less consideration. The nominal prices declu e g yesterday were not at this meeting disputed, but never, es any occasion,was there less iron sold at current figure', Th. . 4 strike " amongst the men spreads rather than decrease; the reduction of wages which the masters have sought t" enforce has been to the puddlers about to per cent., and p a the mill-men and others (whose pay had been pushed up e t . traysganUy in the midst of the prosperity and high pri m ) from 20 to 2.5 per cent. There can be little doubt but that the men will be compelled to yield so anon as their trade fend is exhausted, and the shopkeepers refuse any longer theirs them credit for the means of subsistence for themselves and their families—The coal trade has suffered, as may b e expected, in consequence of the depression in the sister branch : the masters declare their inability to pay to the colliers the present rate of wages, but as yet no pg_ duction has taken place. There can be no doubt, however that, were it attempted, these would strike too, At th e sent moment the thek-coal men are kept working at grata half to three-quarter time ; but with three parts of the works of the district standing still, it is quite clear that this cannot last much longer, and a reduction in the colliers' wages is apparently inevitable. The final meeting cue" ironmasters takes plate at Dudley on Saturday evening; b u t there is no probability that anything of more importance will take place than that which I have already set forth. I per ceive that the Worcestershire Chronicle handsomely 'them ledges its report of the state of the iron trade to be from the Daily News. It would be as well if other local journals would exhibit equal honesty and respectability. RAILWAY NEWS. The share market may be reported as steady yea terday, although the transactions were not so active as might have been expected. SHARE LIST.-LONDON, JAN. 13.
