On that day, Kr. Bothell was belied in reply to the arguments urged on behalf of the respondents. Ile contented that the answer of the respondents, 'peeing to the terms on which-theuppellants offered the 2,000 tons of pig icon, ought to have been sent by the very next post, whereas it did not reach the appellants until the third day. Thep:therefore concluded that their offer was not accepted, mad they were aedliberty to dispose of the iron to other persona. The contract was not complete till the answer was received. But supposing the house should think the contract was complete and ought to be enforced, then he submitted that the court below had done wrong in not confining the assessing of the damages to the price of the iron at the period when the contract was made, instead of allowing the jury to go into calculations of a more general kind—The Lord Ch a ncellor gave judgment. By the jr,neral usage of trade, as ell as by the particular stipulations in the letter of the appellants, the answer to their offer was to be made by re turn of post. It was so made ; for the respondents sent a letter which was by some mistake dated on the 31st of Ja nuary, but which was proved to have been written and posted on the 30th of January, and which arrived at Glas gow by the post of the 31st of Jesuitry. It did not, indeed, arrive In the usual time ; it was delayed for some hours ; but it was delayed through accidental circumstacees, which prevented the ordinary delivery of the letters. That delay was no (Imhof the respondents,put was wholly attributable to the yoet-odlee. The respondenteshad done all that it wee their duty to, and having dens that, the contract became a binding contract on both parties. That was the case quite as much • ander the authorities in the law of Scotland as under those in the lawrof Eng land. As to the question of damages, there was no rulecit law to bind juries to confine themselves /the price of the goods on the day that the contract was made or broken, oarless t h ere any which compelled a party whose contract waithroken instantly to go into the market sad supple himself wi t h goods, with which the other party ought to have furnished him. A r unab l eeas time must be allowed for that purpose, and a reasonable calculation of damages ought to be made.

OF THE PRIVY COUNCI Prone t lord Langdale, Lord Campbell, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Osenwall, th e lades of the Adm iralty Court. Unites& UP AVITISALAIIIA v. BILIVILLAI s --JUDOMBNT.—The Chancellor of the Duchy of Corn. wall : This/cause comes before us on an appeal from the judgment ofabeeSupreme Court of New South the respo ndents. in an act i o n brouglit'by the appellants against The appellants are a corporation, and the respondents a ;olat-inockatompany, carrying on the business of bankers at Sydney. In thetbeginning of 1843 the company was in great datfieultiee--alargyportionAof its liabilities had arisen from teann o tions with - the firm of Hughes and Hooking , . In Febraary, 1843, the , director, applied to the other banks at Sydney, among the net to'the appellants fey assistance. Oa this occasiemi they prepared a statement, the effect of which was that the company 'mold require to . meet their eircula atm and el-posiu, 113,6481. ; for their acceptances on T the enema of Bogen and lloskirgs. and J. Hughes, 60,28.51. ; fir Hughes alai Hooking,' own acceptances, for the due payment of a motion of wbieh — the company hid granted litt of guarantee, 72,"_871. ; making a total of 266,22 01 . lu reduction of this gam it was estimated there would be recovered 145,0001. in twelveamontbs. Besides providing for those liabilities the directors were desirous of continuing to pay a dividend of 8 per cent. on their capital Wilts shareholders of the n •a cond cern. On this statement it appears to be considered a nun of 200,0001. or 250,0001. would he necessary, and as this was a lanret sum than the appellants were willing to supply, it was agreed that the app. boots' bank should apply to the Union Bank to join them in the tnnsactien. With a view to this traneection a inrmoraimmlum was drawn up, at which we hate looked, not to construe the age, (nent, butes part of the tee gestaa and we feel bound to say neither in the documents nor in any other part of the evidence, du we discover any trace of miarepresentatlon, or any con cealment of the facts, or any ground the ` directors time for supposine that the appellants or the directors of the company acted otheame than with perfect goo t faith towards the shareholders. 'The directors may have entered into stipulations contrary to the deed under which they acted. We see no reason to doubt they did what they con sidered beet for the concern. The agreement that was finally made between the appellants and respondents is con tained in two letters, dated the 27th of Feb.', 1843, and the 7th of March, 1843. The letter of the 27th of Feb. is in these terms—it is addressed by Mr. hl'Kenzie, the cashier of the bank of Australia, to the cashier of the bank of Australasia "Sir—ln reference to the communications which have taker, place between the directors and cashier of this insti•u:ion sad the bask of Australasia, relative to the in• tended alte ration in the business of this bas k, and the assistance it will r. quire for the pur pose of meeting its immediate liabilities, I am directed by the board to corn cuniate to you their re solution of calling a meeting of the proprietors for the 113th of Match neat, for the purpose of making the necessary ar rangements for terminating the businem of this bank, and converting it into a lean company, with a view to the secu rity of its outstanding debts, and to enable the hank in the mean time to liquidate its engagements without 'newly'. cisme° to the public. lam desired by the directors to ac knowledge aid thank you for your tender of assistance, and to aresept of the advance of the Bank of Awitraluia oi a sum not ex ceeding 140,0001., in such sums as may from time to time be required, on the security of the acceptances of this bank, at three months' date, at an in terest of 10 per cent. per annum, and subject to the following conditions First, that on or before the 31st of March next this bank shall cease to be a bank of issue, and in winding up its affairs, all future pay ments shall beta made through the Bank of Australasia. Second, that n' bills shall be discounted by the bank after that date, except such as may be required to renew bills now held by the bank. Third, that no transfer el shares or stock shell be made without the consent of the Bank of Aus tralian. Fourth, that the liabilities incurred by this bank for Mean. Hughes and Bookings, and for Mr. 3. I'. Hughes, be covered by the execution by them of such trusts to the Bank of Australia as may be necesrary to place the control of the affairs of the firm and ef Mr..' T. Hughes under this hank to meet their existing obliga tions, and to prevent them from contracting new nois e without the consent of this bank, and that the whole of their future busini as during the continuance of the trusts he' , transacted through the Bank of Australasia. Fifth, that the Bank of Australia shall not incur new liabilities without the consent of the Bank of Australasia." Then there is the answer of the 2nd of Msach,lB43: " Sir,-1 beg to acknow ledge the receipt this morning of your letter of the 27th ult., communicating the resolution of your hoard to call a meeting of proprietors for the 16th instant, for the purpose of making arrangements to terminate the transaction of business by your establishment as a bank, and t eit into loan company, and intimating the intentio o n o of your directors to avail themselves of the assistance of the Bank of Australasia, in liquid dating their current engagements. to an extent not exceeding 150,0001., in such sums as may from time to time be required on the security of the acceptances of the Bank of Australasia, at three monthe date, at an in terest of 10 per cent. per annum, and subject to the claditions therein detailed; and in reply I beg to state that this esta blishment is prepared to meet the requisitions of the Bank of Australia to the extent and on the conditions which you have specified." The 150,0001. was advanced by the appel lants on the footing of this letter, and according to the orders of the directors of the company, in the months of March and April, 1843, and bills or notes payable atthree months appear to have been given for the amount. When these securities beanie due they were renewed for another period of three months. In October, 1843, it was thouglmt necessary to apply to the banks which had rendered the required as sistance, among the rest to the appellants, for tee further advance of 10,0001., with an indulgence of twi lea month.% fur the payment of the advances which they had already made. After some negotiations the appellants consented to allow a further term of twelve months, and on the 30th of October, P 43, the existing securities held by the appellant' , were cancelled, hut in lieu of them a promissory note was given for 154,0001., signed by Mr. Norton, the chairman of On company. It is on this note that the action in this case is brought. Between the commencement of this transaction, in Feb., 1843, and Oct , 1814, several met tines were held ,-f the shareholders of the company. We have no very distinct evidence of what took place at some of those meeting", hut a letter from Mr. M'Arthur, the then manager of the com pany, dated the 18th of November, 1843, *peaks of " the investigations which have taken place at two mettima of the proprietors of this bank, held in pursuance of time pledge contained in our letter to you of the 27th of February last, and the resolutions of the proprietors iherrupen." We think the necessary inference from this pauage is that at those meetings the arrangements intended to be made with the appellants were communicated to the shareholders, and no steps to pre-vent their completion apaear to have been taken either by any single shareholder, by any legal proceeding, or by any notice or eimnimunication either to the director* or the shareholdi ta. We have evidence of what passed at two subsequent meet ings, one in the month of September, 1843, atm the other in the month of January, 1841, and in the accounts submitted at the former are included acceptances on account of the appellants' bulk for 153,357/. At tee latter of these meet ings a statement was made of the arrangement with the bank in the preceding October, and among the other lia bilities of the company the promise ry note for 154.0001. in favour of the appellants is mentioned. At each of those meetings the directors proposed a call to meet the 'listing liabilities of the company, which included the debt of the appellants' bank, and the report of the directors was sdapted. On the 6th of August, 1844, a resolution was passed by the shareholders repudiating the debt. Payment of the rate was demanded in Oct., 1814, and was refused ; and on the 26th of Nov. the present action was commenced It came en for trial on the 17th of March, 1844 ; suet the jury tieing tumble to agree were discharged, according to the provisions of the colonial act. It was afterwards tried at bar. The trial began on the 23rd of June and terminated otn time 4th at Atigust, when, alter much discussion, the vi relict *a= found for the plaintiffs, subject to the opinion of the court whether, on the facts proved, the plaintiffs were entitled to neve ar— the whole to be without prejudice to either party's tight to appeal: and of the three judges present, one, the chief justice, was of opinion in favour of the plaintiffs--the two other judges were of a different opinion, and a verdict and judgment accordinale was intered for the defendants the respondents. From this judgment the present appeal .is brought. The appellants have a clear prima facie case, the now is siancl on behalf of the company by the officer who had authority to 11101 sad aches on their behalf, and the amount of the promissory BOAS was advanced to persons professing to borrow and re. Dein it for the benefit of the company.

FuiDAT Bvseme. The absence of any fresh or very definite intelli gence this morning respecting the progress of the revolutionary movement in Yetis did not tend to re vive confidence in the stock-market, but rather served to render it more susceptible as parties were afforded therefore greater leisure to digest the full extent and gravity of the situation, such as exposed by the occurrences in Paris already become matter of publicity. Consols declined gradually about 1 per cent. upon the last prices of yesterday ; the closing rates being marked 871 to 1 for money, and 88 to 1. for account. But the fall did not end here with the day. About half-past 4 o'clock the second edition of the Express evening paper was received in the City (the Daily News having been earliest in the City with the morning's advices), bringing the all im portant information of the formal deposition of Louis Philippe, his quiet exit from Paris , the establishment of a provisional government, and the declaration by the latter in favour of republican institutions. With out expatiating on the ulterior consequences of threat ening import attached to these extraordinary events in Stock Exchange opinion, it is sufficient to add that Consols went shortly flown to 85 for money, or to , morrow, but lift off 851 to 1 money, and 83i to ,; for account. Since yesterday the fa ll in Consols.has been equal altogether therefore to about 3; per cent. Its duced Tutees left off at the usual business hour 871 to 4. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 881 to 9. But both these stocks must be expected to follow the fate of Consols, although as dealings only take place in them for money, and' not for account, no transactions in them are attempted after the regular closing hour of three o'clock. March Exchequer Bills were 25e. to 295. premium ; the June bills, 288. to 30s. India Bonds, 20s. to 248. premium. Bank Stock, 1981 to 91. Li ng Annuities, 81 to 9. India Stock, 242 to 4. Foreign stocks, during such a tme et r•xeitement, Were of course little attended to, tat prices were in decline. Biezilian were called 83) to 41 ; Mexican, 181 to 19. Spanish Fives, 204 •to 1 ; the Threes, 32 to 4. Portuguese, 25 to 6. Dutch Two-arid-a- Half per Cents., 534 to 4 ; the Fours, 841 to Z. These prices are as marked at the close of business, and before the final results of the French revolution were known. The foreign exchange ruled at higher rates to day, as might be expected under present cir cuinstances in France, and hills offering in collet quence. On Anisterilam the rates were 12.34 to 1 ; on ltotterd.em, 12.1; on Antwerp, 25.80 to 85; on Hamburg, 13.131 to 14) ; on Frank fort, 1211 to 122; on Paris, 25.65 to 724; Cls Vienna, 10.14 to 16; on Leghorn, 31 to 31.10; on Naples, 381 to 9 ; on Madrid, 461 to; ; all at 3 1 months. OR I.isbon, at 60 days, 52. The Bank of Engl ind averages for the week end ing the 19th inst., give, as compared with those of I the week before, the following results : Circulation nous C 27,800,705 (Irculation active 18,1314,691 Public deposits Other deposit' ... - 0,797,938 Govemmcat seciirillee in b inking ilewirtment... 11,3 74 , 921 Other weunhes Coin cod Bullion .... . 14,96 9 , 646 Seven- der awl whet bids The rest The reserve of notes in the banking department showed an increase of 741,7551. over the week before, the total of notes on hand being 9,806,0101. With the specie in the same department of 678,9411., thei total reserve of notes and coin amounted to 10,484,9541. These returns show a continued falling I, off in active circulation and in discounts, with an in crease of coin and bullion and of notes issued. The rest was suffering. For the present there is no occa sion to remark on this state of affairs, the causes of which have indeed been signalised on former occa. sinus. It appears by accounts from Barbadoes that the af fairs of the West India Bank are expected to windup better than expected. A call upon the shareholders with a small surplus upon the - books, would, as sup posed, make a clear liquidation. At the beginning of the troubles in Paris, it is stated in the Belgian papers that precautions were taken at the Bank of France to remove all the notes and specie of the establishment into caves or cellars, strongly fastened, and the means of approach to which were known to few on the premises.

The directors anticipate a still further increase in this breach of their revenue, from the opening of the ityston and Peterborough Railway. The passenger traffic also I shows an increase of nearly 30 per cent. on the ',ye/pouting half ' year, although in the latter part of the year the number of trains were • reduced. The expenuiture for tee half year is 29,5331. 4s. 7d. The net re venue is 28,874/. 17s.

Id.; and the directors recommend that a dividend st the rate of 51. per cent per annum be declared for the half-year, which will leave • surplus of 9464. The directors think that the mileage cost of expenditure may be still further reduced by ex tending the basis of alanegement..ed with this view they have o Pened a negotiation with the Newmarket and Cliesterfoed Company far an devtaldng the working tat their line wben , open to Thetford. The effect of this would he, that Untold of keeping up an establiahment ' kir working a line of SI miles in extent, the miles ge would be ex tended to Re w orks and worked at • very trilling additional I charge.

The directors, however, hope to he able to motile thole works shortly, and to complete the line as far as Fakeeham, a dl.tence at twelve miles from Dereham, in the mum= of the pnwerit year, They do not propose - to undertake the construction of the line between Wella and Fakenhoza at present, and they have entitled for and obtained the seactiop of the rail way einimiasionei s to give the 0000,01117 notices tale extending fa two years the proonis• for the eounpulsory purchase of The agreement between the directors sad them of ths Eastern rinks and Ipswich and Bury Companies hos=soted ow lr propristeme of the latter company, and must be The maks of the Yarmouth Elter4loll are proceeding rapidly ; and the dinners hope that the railway bridge 'erase theßare, a work of sasaldsralde magnitude, and which °meets the this with the Tareanath Qom will be completed within three months.

PataB.—SCREW PILOPILLIBIUL—Tbiscase, which was partly Teruel on Thureday,was resumed and concluded yes • terday.—The Attorney-General, Mr. Serjeaut Bytes, Mr. and Mr. M. Smith were for the plaistiff defendant. ; and Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Peaco ck appeared for the This was an action to establish the validity of a patent, as also to prove that the defendant had infringed it; and it appeared from the statement of the Attern from ey- re Gene ve ral rse that the plaintiff was formerly a n engineer, but a f circumstances, is now a mechanic maintaining himself by his daily labour. Ile had long applied himself to an endeavour to perfect the invention of a propelling screw for steam vessels. Mr. Pena, the defendant, is an engineer carrying on au extensive business at Greenwich. As early as 181 a a Mr. Trevithick directed his attention to the sutiject of pro pellers, and invented a screw to propel vessels, but it was open to oonaiderable objection on account of its holding b a ckwater, being slung outside the vessel and regulated by universal joints moving in a socket, so as to be capable of being moved in Parka/ ways. Other improvements were subsequently tried, by the adoption of a perfect screw slung outside the vessel, by the use of a conical screw, and by a saw at the side of the vessel in the place of the paddle but none of these inventions succeeded. In 18.38, Mr. Lowe took out a patent for a propeller, of which the following was the specification : " My invention consists in a geode of propelling vessels by means of one or more curved plate., set or affixed on a revo lvin g sha ft , below the water linen( the vessel, and running from stern to stern." The prin cipal improvement in this invention was, that the screw held no backwater, and that it was made to work under the water by means of a flied shaft running into the centre of the vessel. In the year 1841 the defeedant, who was then in pactnenhip with his late fattier, built two steam-vessels with screw pro. pellets—namely, the Nile and the Infant Prins., and it being represented to the plaintiff that the defendant had used this propeller, Mr.Cerpenael, at plaintiff's direction, called on defendant, who admitted that he had dons so, and was willing to pay 51,, and take a license from the plaintiff, but he was ultimately pe rsuaded, at the instance of ot her parties interested in the invention, to contest the point. The Attorney-Ooneral said he should call Mr. Carpmael to prove that defendant offered to pay 51., and thereby a dmitted that he had infringed the patent , and it being a ques tion whether the fans or wings used by the plaintiff were at all curved, and formed any part of a screw, he should call the engineer who made the propellers for the Nile and Infant Prince, and also produce models taken from the very casting moulds of those propellers, to pfUT(I that the p:aintitt a invention was a part of a screw. Anil under all th. se circumstances lie thought the defendant did nut come with a very good grace into a court of justice to resist the claim of • poor but ingenious man, who, ult:y I hope was in his invention. Several witnesses were called in supiurt of the paintirf 'a ease. For the defence, it was con tended that the principle of the plaintiff's patent had beau lot g known and patented—that the fans were only the six teenth part of the, tura of a screw. and the same d. seription of propeller had been patented by Bramah in 1785, who de,.cribed the curved blades used by him to be like the fly of • smoke-jeek, or the sails of a vertical windmill. Alickson had also taken out • potent long before the plain•iff, fir a propeller with ewe revolving wheels, Laving reverse action, and then fore, so fsr, more complicated than that used by the 1.! tilde; but the principle was t' e tame, with a revolving ak , s passing through the stern of the vestal, the axis briug also below the water line. The plaintid had, therefore, but stripped Alickson's patent of some of its superfluous parts. It was further contended that the plaintiff's specification was not sufficiently definite, there being nothing to enable any one to ascertain what precise portion of the screw was the most useful, and the size of the blades might depend on a variety of ciroutustances.—Lord Denman having summed up, the jury retired for about half-an-hour, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Neu Pam—Before Sir 1 , Pollock, and a Special Jury. LANDON V. BSIORTT.— RAILWAYS.— Mr. Humfrey, Q C., and Mr. Wood, were the plaintiff', counsel ; Mr. Crowder, Q C., and Mr. M. Smith, were for the defendant. —This was an cation of debt for money had and r. ceived. The sum Fought to be recovered was ,81. 15e., paid by the plaintiff as a deposit on thirty shares in the Metropolitan Itlilways Junction Company, of which tbe defendant was one of the managing committee. On the 4th of Oct., 1845, the plaintiff bad the shares allotted to him. On the 10th the defendant, who is a gentleman of fortune, bad his name placed upon the committee. Apprehensions having been entertained of the then approaching " panic," the market warn " rigged" by the authority of the directors purchasing shares. The defendant, who took an active part in the company's affairs, drew cheques on the 21st and 25th of October for large sums, to carry out the views of the direc tors. Tke 20th wu the last day which the allottees were allowed fur the payment of their depreita. The plaintiff paid his on the 21st, and executed the deeds oar the 24th. about the period tie symptoms of the celebrated panic became undoubted. The capital was to have been 2,060,0001., the deposits upwards of 100,0001., but nu more than than 16,0001, had been paid. A meeting was held to investigate the affairs of the company. The inquiry bad not, however , the e ffect of satisfying the plaintiff, who soon afterwards brought the present action. He contended that the deposit he had paid should be re funded,Ml the ground that he had been fraudulently induced to pay it and sign the deeds, and that the real prospects of the company were suppressed and misrepresented by " rigging" the market, For the defendant it wu urged that ' that course was adopted merely to keep up the credit of the scheme, and that the directors were not bound to warn the &notices before they executed the deeds; besides, the plaintiff was • member of the bar, and must be considered conversant with matters of that description.— Tue learned Judge, in summing up, said the question for the jury was, whether any legal fraud had been committed by the defendant as a director of the company. Had he stated or done any act for the purpose or calculated to mislead the plaintiff, so as to induce him to pay the deposit and alien the deeds ? Or was he guilty of suppressing any fact, it being the duty of the defendant, when ',relenting the deeds for execution by the plaintiff to make known eneh facts ? Taking that to be the definition of fraud in reference to " rigging " the market, and omitting to state the real position of the company with respect to the comparatively small amount of deposits paid upon Oct. 24, and therefore that it was impossible the scheme could have been carried out, the jury would have to determine whether the plaintiff had made out his case or not. It was not neceesary that the ac. ' tool position of the affairs of the company should be com municated to the plaintiff before he executed the deeds. But if the plaintiff executed them unler the influence of any thing done by the directors (of which the defendant wu one) calculated to mislead him, and that those circumstances were withheld, he might repudiate the deeds altogether and be entitled to have his deposit refunded The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 781. 15s. POLICE. v —_ESTERDAT. MANSION-HO VSE.—ALLIOID FOROMIT.—T. Page and J. Nicholson were charged with forgery. Michael Hay don, an officer, said—l was sent for to the banking-house of Me—r. Currie, and I found the pr.n. r Nicholson there. A cheque for , iv 501. was produced, and 1 asked him where he got it. He replied from a man in a public-house iu Bishops gate-street, whom he did not know, but should know again. 1 went with him to the public-bouse, and he pointed out Page to me as the person. Page said it was true, and that he had received the cheque on Monday in • le!ter from Mr. ' Ingle, of Plymouth. In answer to other questions he said, he had left the letter at his lodgings, but he did not know the name of the street. At the house of Messrs. Currie he told the same tale. Upon searching Nicholson, I found a mariner's register ticket and a discharge from a vessel at Plymouth.—Mr. Woodhouse, clerk at Messrs. Currie'', said he knew Mr. Ingle, of Devonport, who kept an account at the house, and believed the writing in the cheque not to be that gentleman's. They had received information that some person had surreptitiously obtained Mr. Ingle's cheque- I book, and cautioning them upon the subject, and, since that time, I.e was to use black instead of red cheques.—Nicholson said, I know nothing of this man (Page). I never law him before to-day, when I went into the public-house to get a glass of ale. He then "eked me to take the cheque to the hankiii4 house.—The prisoners were remanded.

He had two more bills, one of them at home and the othor in Mr. bill from Abraham said that he received the 1181. bill from Mr. James Smith, 14 LU got it direct from the prisoner. —After some further examination Alderman Gibbs remanded the prisoner.
