The CHAIRMAN having made some observations upon the various topics contained in tit- report, expressed a hope that the shareholders would not place the directors in an embar rassing position by a king questions upon subjects with regard to which it would be more to the interest of the bank to remain silent. Mr. ROBINSON, M.P. observed that after the appeal thus made he would not ask any idle questions. There were, however, one or two points on which he hoped to receive some information from the ehairman. He wished to know whether any communication had taken place between the directors of the bank with the shareholders of the Bank of Australia on the subject of the debt due from the latter, and if so, what was the nature of the communication The CHAIRMAN said the directors knew no more of the chances of payment than the proprietors. It was necessary that the judgment should be sent over to the colony, and the judg. meat reversed in the court there before any proceedings could be taken. It had been stated on a former occasion, that overtures bad het n made by several gentlemen to effect a compromise of the claim, notwithstanding which the company had gone on with the suit. Since then the over turn had been renewed, and a wish expressed to pay a certain sum upon certain terms , which the directors were now taking into consideration. Mr. Etxtor, M 1' , said it was as well that they should be aware of what he knew to be a fact—that the Australian Bank Shareholders had teen called on to make an arrange ment with a view to meeting their claim. He had been eo informed by one of the shareholders in question, who had further stated that there was a general wish among them to meet that claim, which he and many others had thought good from the beginning. Mr. ROBINSON said hie question had no reference to legal proceedings. As far as it went it had been satisfactorily an swered. The other question he wished to a sk was: What were the respective amounts estimated by Mr. Hart and Mr. Atherston u likely to be realised from the old debts in the colony ? It having been intimated that it would be injudicious to answer that question, the hoe. gentleman withdrew it. The CILIAIUMAN, in reply to another question, stated that the expenses of management were, in 1844, 32,900/. ; in 1545. 30,6001. ;in 1346, 27,2001. ; and in 1847, 25,4001. He regretted that there was no prospect of the amount being reduced; in fact, the probability was the other way.—ln an ewer to Mr. Newsom, he said that he believed there had been no bad debts incurred in those places during the past year. With regard to a rumour that a debt of 46,0001. had recently been compromised by Mr. Atherston for a small sum, he begged to deny the statement altogether. Mr. Newsom seethed to know if Mr. Hart had overdrawn his Recount with the bank. The CHAIRMAN regretted that Mr. Hart had an account at the bank, which was in a condition that had caused the directors considerable anxiety, which would continue until it was settled. Mr. BROW:SR100 (a director) said the subject WY under the consideration of the beard, and the proprietors might rest assured that they would not leave the drain of the bank for ene moment in the hands of a man in whom they had ceased to place confidence. The report was then received unanimously ; and the three retiring directors, Mr. H. de Castro, Mr. S E. hlagan, an l Mr. W. Sergeant, having lien re-elected, thanks were passed to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated. IRELAND. Destix, Jima 25. A meeting of the united repeaters of Donnybrook and the neighbouring parishes took place on the Fair Green this morning. The following resolution was proposed by Mr. Duffy : That impressed with a inning oonvietion that the divisions and fomented by our foreign rulers have always proved fatal to the interesta of the country. we hail with pleasure and hope the pro posed union of oU repeaters, unit the formation of the cJilteiviiiiisteil Irish league; and thi• meeting plelges itself to give its best and mot active support to the establishment of the league. In his speech he called on the Irish people to assume an attitude which should make England dread them. " You must," he said, " get arms. Many of you can get rifles, and those who cannot let them get pikes." At this part of his oration an orange and a white Hag, fastened to a pike, were produced. The other resolu tions were as follows : That we approve of the fundamental rotes of the !rich League, as drawn up by boil. Co:man O'Loghleo, and we had act this eventful mot the eatabliehment of the league as the immediate forerunner of our independence, and we adopt unrerervolly the conditions of the long-sri. hod for re-union of repealera. That One meeting strongly recommends the formation of clubs in the several neighbouring localities to aid the Irish Leiigue in all practical means for working out Ireland's future destiny. Other speakers exhorted the people to provide themselves with firearms or clubs : of these Mr. Meagher was the most energetic. At the conclusion of his speech the meeting was dispersing, when the police rushed on the people, baton in hand, and arrested two young men, who were taken to Donny brook police-station. There was a great state of excitentent, but no attempt at rescue. Mr. 'Meagher and Mr. Duffy subsequently gave bail for the prisoners, and they are to appear at College.street to-morrow morning. I hear the l'rotestant Repeal Association has fallen into the new organising principle. Its leaders are about to establish " lodges throughout the country. An agent of the British Relief Association has I opened a shop for the sale of bread in Kibosh. His' threepenny loaf weighs 29 ounces. In Dublin the same priced loaf weighs 28 ounces. The farmers cis mare are asking now that the ses sion is running rapidly to a clove, what will be done with the Tenant Right Bill? The northerns are very impatient, and by no means satisfied with the slight progress the measure has made. Unless some thing more be done than the commitment to a select committee, Ulster may generate a formidable agita tion in the winter. EIGHTEEN SALMON WEIRS WERE DESTROYED on Thurs day last, ir. the Shannon. It appears that slob weirs were iL process of construction below Limerick. On hearing the intelligence, the ti-h , rmen consulted ; and having mustered their forces to the number of fifty b.lats and some hundreds of men, proceeded to the place of obstruction and compl . tely destroyed the obnoxious impediments. There has been • long conflict between the Limerick fishermen and the paten tees claiming a right to the fisheries on the Shannon. PROVINCIAL. TIIE NEWS OF THE OUTBREAK IN PARIS reached our chief manufacturing towns early yesterday morning, and u might he supposed, gave rise to considerable excitement. The Daily News being first in the fi.ld with the intelligence obtained much attention. The following reports describe its reception in the towns of Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol . - • LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—Great excitement was prcduced here this morning, by the arrival of the reports from the Daily News and Evening Express, detsiling very fully the important and distressing news from Paris. The statements were posted in the Exchange and in all the other public rooms, and were in each place read by some gentlemen to anxious crowds around. The public felt grateful to the enterprise which put it se promptly is possession of the news. MANCHESTER, MONDAY.—A correspondent says " Let me call attention to the enclosed Manchester Times, acknow ledging the source of its news from v‘,ur paper. It was the only Manchester paper that brought out an 'extraordinary' to-day. The excitement to get • light of it was extraordinary, and men went off the exchange to the news agcots hoping to buy a copy. The Manchester Times, which reprints our despatches, says " The following is a copy of an Extraordinary Express, forwarded by the Daily mews this morning to ourselves, also to the Exchange, and other public rooms. Recollecting the great energy di-played by that paper during the revo lution of February, we think it only fair to acknowledge our obligations to that paper, and the thanks which are due to it from the public for the relief it has afforded from the sus pense into which the last accounts of Friday had thrown every one." BRISTOL, MONDAY EVENINO.—The first details of the civil war in Paris were received here this morning by early mail, and some hours in advisee of the other morning papers, by supplementary reports from the Daily News Whet. The second and thirst editions of the Daily News, giving the latest accounts from the scene of action (also in advance of the other papers), have be..m eagerly sought for. EXETER, MONDAY.—A communication from the Daily .)Peres, received here to-day, was the first intimation of the alarming state of disorganisation in Paris. Slips were printtd by the Western Times, and forwarded to the mayor and other public functionaries, including the recorder, who thus noticed the news in his address to the grand jury from the bench: He could not allow this opportunity to escape without offering his congratulations to them that this Wand, and particularly the portion of it where he now aldreased them, Lad been oared from disturb ance and tumult, which the crash of nations and the wreck of thrones had scattered abroad in other countries. When he read of what had taken place elsewhere, and especially what had been put in his hand, this morning—intelligence conveyed from the Doily News office—he could not help saying, with the psalmist, " Why do the rations "—he would not say " heathens "—" so furiously rage together, and why do the people imagine a vain thing." A vain thing it woe, indeed, if those who bad created those disturbances, hoped to extract out of them that liberty which they profssaed to seek and cherish. Genuine liberty was the creature and descendant of good order —it could not rust without it—liberty was the daughter of good government—and even in the monarchy which they had lately been overthrown, although liberty existed In a stunted and feeble state, yet it did exist in a modified toms ; but in the tu mult and disturbances which succeeded, liberty had been actually strangled in its birth, and thousands and tens of thousands, who had taken part in those proceedings, had now learnt that it was far more easy to destroy than to build up. Such were the consequences of a restlcs• desire for change, without any distinct or definite object. It was because men with the most honest and fairest intentions, who only desired reform to modify and ameliorate the institutions under which they lived, allowed themselves, in a moment of delusion and excite ment, to enlist under their banners those men whose only object was revolution and anarchy, giving the hand of fellowship to the lowest and the barest, they allowed them to become masters. The laws which had been passed in this country for the maintenance of good order, fell far short of the strongand despotic law which had been passed in a neighbouring country; yet they were far stronger than a late dynasty, which had crumbled in pieces, had dazed to pained. It was not the wish of the government, nor his (the recorder's) wish, to says syllable to discourage constitutional meetings, where men met with the honest intention of &sauteing that which was wrong, and reeommending that which was right. So far, if alteration were neces sary, those were the means by which alteration should be recom mended to the public mind, and the public mind prepared to receive It. Those were the safety barriers of the constitution, and be was quite sure no honest or constitutional government, no honest sr constitutional citizen, would desire to say one word that could be supposet totaled upon such meetings. It was not against such meetings that be would wish to ware the public—far from it—but it eras against thins whose igibit was revolutionary, idiotic aim W3s march and destruction, and who did not shrink from asnembline about thamaslrem the lowest and basest of mankind, with the view to increase and swell their number, and thereby create intimidation and alarm. The Deemishire Chronicle, in publishing the Paris news up to Saturday evening, sap : 7 " We are indebted to the Daily News for the foregoing intelligence, sent us by express this (Monday) morning, the same to which our recorder referred in:hie charge. GATESHEAD, MONDAT. — The rumour of insurtection and bloodshed in Paris reached this borough en Saturday, and was corroborated by a meagre dispatch in the London news papers which arrived this evening. On Sunday morning the evening papers were anxiously looked for; and this morning, an " extra" having bee. received from the Mika of the Daily News, and placed in the window of the Gateshead Observer office, it was read.with great avidity. During the whole day it has attracted as many persons as could read it at one time. Occasionally, indeed, when the number got beyond this mark, some public-spirited individual has been found able and willing to read the whole aloud, from be ginning to end. Lanus, MONDAY.—The Leeds hitelliyeneer this day pub lished an extraordinary edition, containing the latest French news, for which it acknowledged itself indebted to the Daily News in these words : We are indebted to the courtesy of the publisher of the Doily News for a copy of the following account of the state of Paris, received by extraordinary ex ' pees in London yesterday, and bringing the report down to six o'clock on Saturday." THE GAILY News EXPRFSS.—PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.— : The Plymouth Times says: "Through the kindness and spirited exertions of the proprietor of the Daily News, we were put in possession, at eight o'clock this morning, of meat important intelligence, bringing the ace -unto from l'aris down to a quarter to six o'clock on Saturday night. This extraordinary intelligence gave us in detail, occupying neatly two columns of printed matter, the accounts of Paris being in a state of siege, resignation of the executive committee, appointment of a military dictator, collision with the populace, &c. The extraordinary express by which the above was conveyed from Paris was by courier, the railway communication having been again interfered with. The news thus transmitted to Plymouth was soon made known through our three towns and district by a reprint of the Plymouth Times of the Daily 'mews, which were promptly distributed to the public rooms, the naval, military, and other government establishments, the hanks, exchange, and to the leading merohants here, O. By the same medium, the news was sent to Totems, Newton Abbott, and other towns. The intelligence has tilled all classes with surprise, and the next accounts are looked for ward to with great interest. The intelligence is already on its way hither to Australia, the captain of a vessel just sailing having been supplied with ono of the slips , and thus, through the spirited exertions of the Daily News, that por tion of the globe will be put in possession, at an early period, of the great events which are now occurring in France, and in which the whole world may be said to be interested. SHEFFIELD, MONDAY.—On receipt et P.,ris news up to Saturday evening, the Sheffield ',dependant published an extracrdinary edition. It says--" We acknowledge our selves to he especially indebted to tne kindness of the Dasly News. We were favoured by late information from the office of that journal, which has proved to us of the greatest service." YORKSHIRE. MORE ARRESTS FOR UNLAWFUL TRAININO.—On Saturday last two other men were apprehended in the neighbourhood of Bingley, and taken before Mr. liu•frild Ferrand, .1.1'..wh0 committed them to York Castle for trial at the next assizes, on charges of unlawful training and drilling to the use of arms and military exercises. Both Bradford and Keighley have been very peaceable since the magistrates took decisive measures to prevent large and illegal assem blies of the people. SVASEX. HORSHAM ELECTION.—The writ for this election arrived at Horsham on Saturday last. The nomi nation is to take place to-morrow and the rice tioii on Thursday. Mr. Fitzgerald, in offering himself again to the electors, has issued an address, in which he states :--" You are again called upon to ezerciae the privilege of returning a representative to parliament; a privilege which, though entrusted to you by law, tho inter ference of government his too long withheld." The hon. candidate's friends speak in confidence of his success. and say that he will be returned by a majority of 30. Sir Percy Shelley has abandoned his intention of soliciting the suffrages of the inhabitants, being " influenced solely by personal considerations, and not by any wish to shrink from the con test." It is said that Sir Percy's recent marriage was the sole cause (this retiring from the contest. Another candidate his sprung up, in the person of Lord Edw. 'toward, son of the Duke of Norfolk. His lordship visitedthe town on Saturday, and called upon a few of the leading porn ma in the borough, promising to return on Tuesday to complete his =TAU. In his address to the electors his lordship says: " My name is not unknown to you, neither are my political principles. They have been publicly avowed, and received approval from many of you on a former ace ~ion. My desire is to vin dicate the honour and character of the borough, and for that purpose I hasten immediately to pay you my personal re spects." Lord Howard's friends Bay that he is determined to go to the poll; and it is rumoured that, should he lose his election, he will present a petition against Mr. Fitzgerald's return. Tne BOTTON PAPER MILLS, established by the Messrs. Bevan (of whose partial destruction by fire an ac count appeared in the Express some months since), were on Saturday last the scene of another conflagration. The fire was discovered soon after midnight. An alarm was imme diately given, and messengers were despatched to Bristol for engines. Several were promptly on the spot, and the fire men and neighbours did their utmost to arrest the progress of the fire. it had, however, gained too groat a head to be successfully resisted, and was not got under until the exten sive building—at least all the portions of it which were left undestroyed upon the last occasion—wer. reduced to a ruin. The accident has thrown a number of hands out of work. It is understood that both building and stock were insured, Jraustc. MR. BENEDICT'S CONCERT.—Thie is always one of the greatest concerts of the season. It took place yesterday morning in the Opera concert-room, and was on the usual scale of magnitude. There was an absolute host of vocal and instrumental performers ; and the bill of fare was so multifarious that the banquet was little more than half over at five o'clock, when we were obliged to leave it. The greatest part of a concert of this description always consist. of well-krown and familiar pieces ; but Mr. Benedict, on this oc:asion, presented several interesting novelties. The principal of these was a concertante fee two pianofortes with full orchestral accompaniments, composed by himself, and performed by M. Charles Halle and bim. It is • mai -1 terly composition, in a bold and brilliant style, and was exceedingly effective. Thalherg, who is now so rarely heard that he has become something of a novelty, performed • new " Tarantella," and his study in A minor. We never heard him play more exquisitely; he was applauded loud and long, and delighted the audience still more by sitting down again and playing • delicious little fantasia on the pretty serenade in " Don Pasquale." A quartet from Nieder mayer'e " Marie Stuart," sung by Madame Dorus Oru, Mdlle. Vera, Oardoni, and Massol (the celebrated Parisian singer, just arrived here), turned out to be the Scotch melody "Auld Isnot sync," treated with great ingenuity and beauty. Madame Sahatier gave great pleasure by • couple of her pretty French romances; and Mdlle. Durlacher, a pupi' of Mr. Ilalfe, who made her first appearance in public, sang Mozart's "Dove Sono " with grace and sweetneu. The audience, as usual, was overflowing. The orchestra was filled with ladies, and a great number of persons were obliged to contest themselves with listening, as they beat could, in the aot•.room.

EATERS PATENT—SP ECIFICAT lON.—This was an appeal from a judgment of the Court of Session in Scotland, allowing a bill of exceptions W the ruling of one of the judges upon the trial of iseues directed to try the validity of a patent taken out by the appellant " for a new and improved mode of manufactur ing silk, cotton, woollen, and other fabrics." The specifica tion after netting out a description of the machinery and the way of using it, and after diu'llAimiag yAriolAS things as not THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1848. new, stated that what was deemed as new and of appellant's invention was the mode of preparing stripes of silk, cotton, &c. in such manner that the welt or lateral fibres of both cut edges of each stripe were all brought up on one side and into close contact with each other, and the reweaving of such stripes with the whole fur or pile uppermost into the surface of carpets, &c., at the same time that a groundwork was woven for the same. The respondents denied that most of the process for which the patent was granted was new, and that they were guilty of infringing what little was new in the invention. The ruling of the judge was in favour of the pa tent, and the judges of the court declared the ruling to be erroneous, that the specification eovered too much, and that a new trial ought to be greoted.—Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Butt were now in support of the appeal from that decision.—The Lord Chancellor said he did not think it necessary to hear the counsel on the other side, es he was of opinion that the judgment as to the too extensive scope of the specification was right. He would not, however, decide the cue in the absence of Lord Campbell, who had a little before left the house, after hearing most of the arguments for the ap pellant. Another appeal—Wood (or Wilcox) r. Young (or Farrell) —was called on, but no counsel or agent appeared for the appellant, and Sir F. Kelly, who was for the respondent, asked that the judgment complained of he affirmed, which was ordered accordingly. guiehed shareholders of joint stock companies from the cue of ordinary partners.

A boiler wu completed on the 18th December, and sent to Mr. Wood with an invoice charging him 2981. 2e. for a boiler weighing 12 ton, 14 cwt., 2 qrs. On its trial it was found to be improperly constructed and not made of the best materials, and that the rivets of the boiler allowed the emission of steam. A communication to :hat effect having been made to the defendant, men were tent to make the boiler right. Montford then died, baring first received 1001. in part paymentoftheoriginally-contractedsum.

UNDER Lotto CAMPBELL'S ACT.—This was an action under Lord Campbell's Death by Accident Compenaation Act. The declaration stated that the defendants were the owners of a certain railway; that a person named Henry Smith was a passenger thereby ; and through the negligence of the defendants he was so grievously wounded thee. he died. The defendants pleaded not guilty, u n which issue was joined. The damages were laid at 10,1111. The Attorney General, with whom were Messrs. Wataon and Cowley, stated the cue. The present action was brought by Mrs. Smith, as ad min ist ratria to a gentleman named Henry Smith, as well as on behalf of her infant son, for the injury which she and her son had sustained by the death of Mr. Smith under the following circumstances:—On the 6th of June last, Mr. Smith took his seat in a second class mail train from Huston-square to Birmingham. The 'rain proceeded on its journey till it arrived near the Wolver ton station, when the person in charge of the siding turned the train off the main line into the aiding. The con sequence was that the train came into violent collision with several waitrons then standing on the siding, which resulted in the death and serious injury of various persons, amongst others of Mr. Smith. With respect to the cause of the accident, he believed no question would be raised, as the coroner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the person in charge of the siding, who was afterwards con victed. Witnesses were then called in support of the plaintiff's case. Mr. J. S. Gent, a surgeon, and who was a passenger on the occasion referred to, described the accident. He had no doubt that the death of Mr. Smith was caused by the collision. Mr. Thomas L. Burney, linen merchant at Kirkham, was well acquainted with the late Mr. Smith, who married his wile's sister. Witness was a part proprietor and one of the managing committee, and one of the auditors, of a company, owners of various steam-vessels plying between Fleetwood and the north of Ireland. Mr. Smith was the general manager of the company, and received a per centage on the cargoes of the vessels. In 1815 his earnings were 1,0191. 15.. 2d. ; is 1846, 1,1001. 19s. He had been engaged from the formation of the company—about five years. He was a man of great experience, and hie position was likely to be permanent. Ile was in the 61st year of hie age, and was marritd on the 9th of July, 1846. Mrs. Smith was 33 years of age, and the child was posthumous, and born on the 13th of October. Mr. Smith was a frugal man, in good health, and of temperate habits. He was employed by various railway companies as a traffic statist, and in addition held the appointment of government inspector of steam boats fur the district, which yielded him about 50 guineas • year.—ln crou-examination by Sir F. Kelly, the witness stated that Mrs. Smith now resides at Kirkham. She had 2,0001. settled upon her at her marriage, and she has besides about 2,0001. of her own. He should suppose she possesses an income of from 1501. to 2001. a year. Mr. Smith held some shares in tb3 Prince of Wale; steamer. Mr. Smith's accounts with the com pany were settled every six months, at the meetings in April and September. The half-yearly meeting took place atter his death, and there was no settlement of the last six months' account. At the half-yearly eting the proprietors gave Mrs. Smith time t pay the amount. From 2001. to 3001. remain unpaid, and there is a sum due from the Fleetwood Railway Company which will more than cover it. Mr. Smith left property which has not yet been realised. Wit ness supposes that at the time of his death he was worth from 1,0001. to 2,0001. over and above that settled on Mrs. Smith. Since the d ath of Mr. Smith the commission on the outward voyages was reduced one half, namely, to 21 per cent. He had an mem office also at Preston. Stephen Burridge, chief clerk to Mr. Smith, proved the above facts. and stated that he had no reason to believe that his income would fall off, but the contrary. He was much respected by the inhabitants of Fleetwood, and his services were in great request as a railway statist —ln cross-examina tion he stated that the deductions from Mr. Smith's Mecum were about 2101 , for clerks and offices rent. Mr. Joseph Bray, of I'reston, solicitor; Mr. Robinr ' of Clithero, solicitor ; and Mr. Main, parliamentary clerk to the Messrs. Bannatyoe, of Glsegow, the railway solicitors, severally stated that they hail availed themselves of Mr. Smith's valuable service' belt). e parliamentary committees on railways in 1815, 1816, and 1847, and they were of opi nion that 3001. was a fair estimate of income from this source. Mr. Morgan, actuary to the Equitable Life Assurance Company, said he calculated the value of an annuhy on Mr. Smith's age of 50 of 1,2001. at about 13,0001. He calculated it at 4 per cent.--This was the case for the plaintiffs. Sir 1.. Kelly (with whom was Mr. Boyd!) said he had one or two pinto of law to submit to the court before the case went to the jury. He would submit, in the first place, whether the care of a posthumous child came within the m. ening of the act ? The Chief Baron thought there could be no doubt on the subject atter the celebrated decision of the House of Lords, which was given in opposition to the opinion of all the judges. The child was as much in ease as if it bad been born. . . Sir F. Kelly thought that the very fact that the opinion of all the judges had been in favour of the point justified him in submitting it. There was another point to which he wished to direct the attention of the court, namely, that there was no evidence is support of the alleg, tion of the declaration, that Mr. Smith had met his death from want of care on the part of the company. The Chief Baron said that the fact that the train, instead of going straight on, had run into the siding, showed that there must have been negligence. The company was hound to have some person to take particular care and direct the carriages into the stations. Ile, therefore, thought there WSW a sufficient case for the jury. Sir F. Kelly then addre-sed the jury in mitigation of da mages. This, he contended, was not the case of a person with a permanent income, hut one uncertain in the extreme. lie remarked that no evidence had been given, to show what Mr. Smith's circumstances were anterior to 1845, end con cluded by observing, that he thought that three, or at most tour years' purchase, would be amply sufficient as compen sation. . . . The Chief Baron, having briefly summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 2,0001., which they apportioned thus-1,2001. for the child, and 8001. for Mn,. Smith. MOROAN v. BEET.—CRIM. CON.—This we understood to be an action for crim. con., but none of the particulars of the case were stated. A verdict was taken for the plaintiff by consent.—Damoges, 3001. EQUITY COURTS. Before I, ioe-Chancellor knight Bruce. EX PARTE SOUTHALL, no HILL.—LIEN OF' ACCOUNTANT ON Boors.—The petitioner had been employed by the bank. rupt es an accountant to make up the bankrupt's books before the bankruptcy. After the hat issued the messenger required the petitioner to give up the books, which he de clined doing unless he was paid fur his services, for which he demanded 81. ss. The messenger nevertheless took pos session of the hey Its, and the petitioner now sought to have them returned to him, or to hove his dem►nd satisfled.—Mr. Bacon and Mr. Youngs supported the petition, and Mr. Bwanuton and Mr. Ileathfield appeared for the assigner,. —The Vice.Chencell , r thought it clear that the petitioner hail a lien an the books, and gave the assignees the option of hosing an order made upon thom for payment of the de mand and the costs of the petition, or of having the petition stand over [or an action to be brought, with admissions. The essignees asked and obtained time to consider which course should be adopted. EX PARTE THOMAS. IMPEACHING TRANSACTIONS rNDEH EANKRupes OWN FlAT.—This was the bankrupt's own fiat, and Mr. K F. Smith now moved, an behalf of the bankrupt and a creditor, to annul the fiat, the creditor undertaking to issue a new one; the reason of the ap. plication being, that it was desirable to impeach, under the hat, certain transactions to which the bankrupt was a party. The Vice-Chancellor made the order subject to the filing of an affidavit, showing that the creditor's debt was suffi ciently old to enable the transactions in question to be over reached.

GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY.—INJUNCTION.—This was an application to dis solve an injunction which had been obtained ex parte by the plaintiffs on Friday last. and by which the defendants were restrained from permitting or causing to flow through Nor wood Upper Lock on the Grand Junction Canal any part of the water now is Paddington Long Level, until additiosal water should have been introduced into the Long Level through Cowley Lock, and then and thenceforth frem allow ing any greater amount of water to flow through the Norwood Upper Lock out of the Long Level than the amount so introduced into the Long Level through Cowley-lock. 'The injuncton had been ob ! mined on the ground of an alleged breach on the part of the defendants of an agreement entered into between the two companies in 1819, and afterwards confirmed by act of par ' liament, by which the quantity of water to he drawn through the eeveral locks by each company was prescribed, with a view to the regulation of the levels of the canals.— ' Mr. Itolt and Mr. Busk appeared in support of the motion to dissolve; and the Solicitor. General and Mr. Wickens con tra for the injunction—llM Honour made an order, giving liberty to the defendants to pass through Norwood.lock dai'y any quantity of water, not exceeding 30 lucks, of 9,000 cubic feet each ; and also such further quantity, if any, as should be let into the level at Cowley-lock, until by such means there should have patted 120 of such locks of water through Norwood-lock. if more should be found necessary the patties were to have liberty to apply, but they were thence fo-th to be restrained from drawing off more than came into the Long-level through Cowley-lock, in the words of the 2nd branch of the injunction. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Nisi Pears.—idefore Mr. Justice Wagtail= and a Special Jury. licLen ♦NU WHIMS V. ESDAILE AND OTHPUN.-1 ate WOOD PAVEMENT.—Sir F. Thesiger, with whom was Me. Hogging, appeared for the plaintiff in this case; and Mr. Q.C., and Mr. Peacock for the defendauts.—This was an action of covenant upon a deed entered into in 1844 between the plaintiffs anal defendants. The plaintiffs, it appeared, were the licensees of a patent for the wood pave ment which had been granted to a party of the name of Parkyns in April, 1339, and the defendants were the licensees of a patent which had been taken out in 1841 by a person of the name of Rankin for a similar invention. The defendants entered into a covenant with the plaintiffs, by whisk they agreed to pay the latter a certain royalty, ff they infringed the principle of Parkyns' patent ; the principle of that patent being the inclination of the fibre of the blocks of wood to the horisla from 40 to 70 degrees. The defendants laid down pavement in Cornhill, sod also at a bridge at Chalk Farm, where the blocks were at an inclination of 73 degrees. On the part of the plaintiffs it was contended that, although the inclination of the blocks of wood laid down by the defendants was not within the precise words usi d in the deed, still, practically, there wan no difference between 73 degrees and 70 degrees. For the defence, Mr. Martin submitted that the whole mat ter was a question of law ; but at all events no breach of co venant whatever bad been committed by the defendants ; for it was merely intended that they should be limited to the precise inclination epecified,which was from 40 to 70 degrees, and his clients had a right to adopt, as they had done, any other inclination that they might chums—Mr. Justice Wightman, in summing up, said that the question turned upon the real construction of a written document, and that was a matter of law. It appeared that there were ten pa , tents, one of Rankin's and another of Perkyruis, and their I principle was the same. If persons chose to make agree. menu in specific terms, they must abide by them ; and although In practice there was no distinction between these two patents, still the language of the covenant was express ; therefore, unless the inclination adopted by the defendants was within that li nit specified in the covenant, the plaintiffs could not recover. The jury would consequently return a verdict for the defendants, the plaintiffs having liberty to move to enter a verdict for 101.12. Tate DUKE or BRUNSWICK V. BAKER.—SLANDER. — In this case, when the jury had been sworn, the foreman handed in a pamphlet which he said had been sent to him by post. (The pamphlet was understood to contain a speech of the Duke of Brunswick.) Mr. Justice Wightman observed such a proceeding was highly improper.—Mr. C. ekburn ap plied to be allowed to see the pamphlet, and then asked teat it might he impounded. It wiu accordingly handed to the officer of the court.—Mr. S,rjeant Allen and Mr. Charnock conducted the case OR behalf of the plaintiff, and Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Bramwell were counsel Per the de fendant. Thia was an action to recover compensation in damages for cereal' slanderous word.: used by the defendant. From the opening addles! of the learned sergeant, and from the subsequent evidence, it appeared that the defendant was a sheriff's officer, who had a writ of fi. fa. to levy upon the plaintiff's goods, and that he went to Brunswick-house for that puipme. On his arrival there lie found the gates closed, and persons outside to prevent any one from entering the premium. On the 15th of May, 1847, the defendant suc ceeded in effecting an entrance, upon which some violence ensued, when he said to the servants. " You are a set of —. You are a nest of —." Upon being remon strated with for using such language, he said that the Duke of Brunswick was a d—d —. In con sequence of the forcible opposition offered to the defendants getting into Brunswick-house, several po licemen got over the wall and came to his assistance. For the defendant it was contended that he was completely at the mercy of the duke's seavant when he endeavoured to enter the plaintiff's house, and had been greatly provoked. The words, moreover, which the defendant had wad a ere unhappily of common occurrence amongit people in a low station of life, and had no particular meaning. The action had not been brought to vindicate the plaintiff's character, but merely because it annoyed him to find that a vulgar sheriffs officer had " got between the wind and his nobility," —and nothing but an action could satisfy the Duke of Bruns wick. The learned judge havng summed up, the jury found for the plaintiff—damages 40s. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings in Banco after Term. EDWARDS V. LAWLE.sa.—DELIVERY OP BIONED BILL BY ATTORNEY, BEYOIIE ACTION BROVOIIT.—This was an action upon an attorney's bill against the Hon. Cecil Law less, as a member of the managing committee of the Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railway, tried be fore Baron Rolfe at the last Warwick summer assizes, when a verdict passed ter the plaintiff for 492/. It was objected at the trial upon the issue, that no signed bill was delivered by plaintiff a month before action brought, pur suant to 7 & 8 Vic., c 73 (there being a plea to that effect upon the record) and that the plaintiff ought to be nonsuited. It appeared a signed bill had been delivered to a Mr. Moore, a co-managing committeeman, at his residence in Wood-street, Cheapside, and that the bill was headed, " To the provi s.onal committee of," &c. ; but that no bill had been de livered to the defendant himself, or left at the office of the company. The objection that, twee these circumstances, the statute had not been complied wi'h was overruled at the trial leave being reserved to move the court upon the point.—Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Phipson, now showed cause against a rule for a nonsuit in consequence obtained, and con ended that as Mr. Moore prOWd to be an active managing committeeman, and was jointly liable to the debt sued for, a delivery by plaintiff of his bill to him was equivalent to a delivery to defendant himself, on the principle that Mr. Moore stood in the position of en indebtor; and it had been decided that an attorney who bad duly delivered his bill to one of two joint contractors was enabled to sue the other.—Mr. White hurst was heard in 'import of the rule.—The court were of opinion that the rule for a nonsuit should be made absolute. The present case was not to be looked at in the light of an ordinary case of co-contractors. The question was, bad there been a delivery of the bill to the provisional committee which comprised the managing committee ? There had been no delivery at the office of the company, nor to any one who could fairly be said to represent the company. Every member of the provisional committee did not represent the whole body. The courts had already frequently distin- POLICE.-YESTERDAY. CLEIIKENWELL.—CosiIit:CT OF PARISH AUTOO RITIRS.—Three miserable looking females, harkg with them their families, consisting altogether of nine children under eight yeas of age, applied far advice. They were married women, whose husbands are working men, but un. tortunately having been out of employ for a lengthened period, they had, in the hope of finding work, gone on what is called tramp in search of it. Being reduced with their children to starvation, neither of them having tasted food for 36 hours, they had Bought for relief at St. Pancras work. house, in which parish they are residing, but they could obtain no food, consequently they now requested the inter ference of his worship.—Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered nourishment to be given them, and told Cole, the warrant officer, to take them to St. Pancras workhouse, with a request from him that their wants should be attended to.—Shortly afterwards Cole returned with the unfortunate families, and stated that he had introduced them to Mr. Coulthard, the overseer, and explained the wishes of the bench, to which he bad replied that he would have nothing to do with the applicants, and that ho did not care for Mr. Tyrwhitt.—The Diagi strate remarked that the observation of the overseer in reference to himself he could not but treat with the most utter contempt, but it was really enough to make one's heart ble, . d to knew that this is the way the unfortunate poor arc treated too often by parish authorities. It was right that the public should know how poverty is treated by those whose sympathy and ki .dness ought ever to be extended to the deserving, and it theca ever were cases requiring immediate attention the present certainly were those. For the present he must instruct Nesbitt, the officer, to see to their wants, for he could not allow them to perish in the streets, but he regretted to nay that the fund. , or the poor box were totally inadequate to do halt that was re quired to the numerous applicants for relief —Just before the closing of the office, Mr. Cater, another of the overseers of the parish, came to the court, and on the magistrate re ferring the painful cases to him and the circumstances at tending them he immediately consented to take them into the workhouse. MARYLLBON E.—ROBBERY BY Bovs.—Three boys I named Thomas Scott, Charles Solomon, and William Norton, were charged with having stolen about 111. from the premises of Mr. John Taylor, a miller, residing at Rick manswortb, and who has also a large baking establishment' in the Oval-road, Camden-town. On the previous morning the foreman and another man, who lived at the house where the baking trade was carried on, left home to go to church, and on their return they were astonished at finding the front door open, u it had been pulled to in the usual way on their going out ; it was almost immediately afterwards ascertained that the counting-house had been entered, and that from a large box, the lock of which bad been forced, somewhere about 401. in gold, silver, and copper money had been abstracted. The prisoners were seen to fo into the premises after the foreman and the other MO quitted, and the whole of them were on the same afternoon taken into custody. They were searched at the station, but no portion of the plunder was met with. Norton and Solomon' had been in custody before for felony and convicted. The prisoners, who denied that they were the guilty parties, and mentioned the names of others who ought to have been taken up instead of them selves, were remanded. OVTRAOE ON A POLICE COIOVIABLE.—C. Vardy aed L. Philip were charged with an assault on the police, whilst in the execution of their duty. The prisoners were walking together through several street& at the West-end, and after looking down various areas Philip descended the steps at three or four houses, and on coming up again in the course of a few minutes rejoined Vardy, with whom be moved on their movements having been watched by policemen Deplin and Price, who took them into custody, when Vardy struck . Price a tremendous blow, and on their closing they both fell down in the road. While Price was in the act of getting up Vardy kicked Dim three or four times in the face with all his mieht, and on assistance being obtained he (Vardy) was, with the other prisoner, conveyed to the station-house. hie had upon him a "life preserver," together with many skeleton and other keys. Philip had in his possession, amongst other things, a chisel recently sharpened, and well calculated for forcing opus a door. In the struggle which took place in the road Vardy made strenuous attempts to get his hand into his coat-pocket, with the intention no doubt of drawing forth the "life preserver," and inflicting injury therewith upon Price. The appearance of Price was pitiable in the extreme; his left eye was completely closed, and swollen ; his face also bore marks of the brutality exer cised towards him.—Mr. Broughton remanded them for a week. RAILWAY NEIVS. The share market was heavy and inactive during the greater part of yesterday, but towards the claw of business a brisk demand sprung up, and it was then found that the supply of stock was short, in fact that jobbers and speculators had oversold themsave , , and could not obtain stock for delivery. Prices generally Unproved therefore, and Brightons as much as 25e. per share. It would thus seem that the late depres sion of the market has been owing in some degree to sales on speculation, for it is observed that on the part of the public no large quantities of stock have been brought to market.

The meeting was called preparatory to the general meeting, which must, according to law, be held in Brussels, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the shareholders could suggest any plan to raise money to carry on the works and sere the undertaking of the com pany, as the attempt to ram money by the call, which was recom mended at the meeting of the 16th March, had proved a complete failure—the entire sum received being about 1,0001. In reply to questions from shareholders, the chairman said that 2 5 0,0001. had teen expended—that there were no funds in hand, and that they would be obliged to wind up the concern if they failed in raising money. There were no works going fon at present. Mr. Brown asked if the com mittee had no financial plan of their own. The chairman seed that they/bat/discussed the matter„Their proposition was to Mane 121. shares to those who held If. shares paid up, upon their paying IL additional, and to allow G per neat. instead of 4 percent. This was equal to a bonus of 41., sad an increase of 2 per cent. interest.—Mr. Brown asked who was to guarantee the 6 per cent. interest.—The Chairman said that If they obtained the money they would be able to complete the worker and he expected that the profits would enable them to pay the interest—Mr. Morgan said it was impossible to ex pect that they would be eine to pay such interest on a hoe oft &alms miles. The profits would not pay for the surveillance of the line— ar. A/merman said that they did riot offer the plan an a proposition, but it was the only one that suggested itself to the directors, who were at as great a loss to know what to suggest as the shareholders. They were willing to consider any suggestion that might be offered.—ln reply to si r. Brown, the Chairman said they would not propose any resolution at the meeting to be held in Brussels, for the purpose of for. (citing the eludes which had not been paid up. If, however, the shareholders made a proposition to that effect, and if it was carried the directors would have no option. He would oppose any such pro position.—The meeting adjourned for three months. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY EVENING. The somewhat doubtful question of the possible issue of the sanguinary struggle in Paris, betwixt constituted authority and the &sot& Hy masses of the people, of the progress of which ample details were given in the first edition of the Daily News told upon the funds. Upon the seemingly probable( fiance of the rebellious mob gaining the upper hand the funds declined in the early part of the day. Consols were done as low as 821 for the opening. But, upon the successive appearance of the second, third, and fourth editions of this journal,bringing accounts down to later hours, and showing that such deci did advantages had been obtained over the insurgents as to leave little doubt of their speedy, and for ae present final, overthrow, Consols, as well as other public securities, were promptly re-established, and , reached 83; buyers for the opening, at which they I , left off. The elasticity exhibited by the funds, in their so ready rebound of prices, after pressure from adverse circumstances, may be taken as proof of the present abundance and power of money. On every decline buyers cre found eager to take advantage, and enter into possession of stock, on the more favourable conditions of price presented, whether for money, or, as in Console, fur time stock. Redact d Threes were 83i to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 84! to I. Exchequer Bills, 38s. to 11s. premium. India Bonds, 16s. to 20s. premium. Long Annuities, 8 9-16 to a. Bank Stock, 189 to 191. The foreign market continued heavy, and with very limited dealings. Spanish were quoted lower at 11 to for the Fives ; 21,1 to 22 for the Threes ; Passive, 21 to 3. Portuguese, 15 to 16. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. were not so good at 42 to 3 ; the Fours, 631 to 41. Russian, 88 to 91. Mexican, 151 to 161. Brazilian, 64 to 66. New Granada, 111 to 12i. Peruvian, 30 to 2. The private advices by the Niagara steamer from Boston, bringing four days' later dates, represent money as not quite so easy at New York on the 13th instant, the latest date received. The exchange on England was lower, however, at 1101 to a, whi ch would lessen the temptation to export specie as a more profitable operation. The Monbury Boraenhalle received this afternoo n , of the 21st instant, contains an announcement of th e firm of Messrs. Frederick Heeren and Co. of th a t city, whose s'oppage was publicly reported on the departure of the previous mail, and noticed at thetim e under this head, to the effect that " the report which had obtained circulation of their having stopped paym ent was without foundation, and had arisen only in eon. sequence of their refusal to pay a draft made pitart,4 4 at their house, but not accepted by them." 'The g ent gives public notice, moreover, " that they are ready t o pay all their acceptances out and running on allow ante of the current rates of discount fur money." This mode of proceeding affords assuredly the moat le . tisfactory proof, not of entire solvency only, but of the possession of ample resources. The dates fro m Hamburg come down to the 24th instant, but the papers do not report commercially or financially anything of interest. The letters will only be deli. vend in the morning. Advices from St. Petersburg of the 16th instant report some disastrous conflagrations, from whi c h the insurance offices, and merchants, would suffer heavy losses. The towns of Orel, Tula, Jarcelae r , and other places, principally in the district or gover n . ment of Orel, had been fired and reduced to wheat Tnese disasters were charged as the work of intim. diaries, but so far the parties remained undiscovered, One hundred and fifty thousand poods of hemp were thus destroyed. The second insurance company of St. Petersburg would lose half a million of silv er roubles by these disasters. ENOLIPH FUNDS. flank Stock, 1844 96 111.11.1 Bond,. under xi nlnr,. 1),,r CL. Real.
