Her engines, of 350-horse power, will be fitted by tbe same firm. A singular accident occurred during the progress of the launch. As the Lewellyn was in the act of leaving the slip a brig named the Rambler was being towed up the river. The steam-tug was unable to get the brig out of the way, and the Lewellyn came " stern on " to her with immense impetuosity. The damage done to the steamer was very slight, but the brig had her bulwarks carried away, and was so damaged as to compel her to bring up to Blackwell at once. ADMIRALTY, JAN. 22. ADPOINTMR.NTS.

EQUITY COURTS. Before the Lod Chancellor, THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE OXFORD AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY COM PANY.—AORERMENT TO SELL A RAILWAY.—SPECIFIC PERPORMANCE.—DCMURREIL — Thii was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor of England over-ruling the de murrer pat in by the defendants to the bill tiled by the plaintiffs, for specific performance of an agreement between the parties fur the sale, by the latter company, of their line to the plaintiffs. The circumstances of the case have been frequently stated in this paper ; the last time in November last, on the argument of the demurrer before the Vice-Chan• cellor.—Sir F. Kelly opened the appeal on Wednesday last, and concluded his argument on Saturday. Jas. J. Parker followed on the same side, but had not concluded at the rising of the court. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Dam,. REGINA v. SoI:TH-WEsTEILN lIAILwAt COMPANY.— LAND, CLAIAES CONsOLIDATION ACT. —ln this case, which was partly heard on Wednesday, some demurrers arising upon a mandamus were argued. The mandamus was directed to the South-Western Railway Com pany , . commanding them to complete their contract for the purchase of a certaiu manufactory and premises known as the Lambeth Starch Manufactory. It appeared that under the Railway Metro politan Extension Act of 1845, the South-Western Company had given notice to Mesas. Coward and Co., the proprietors of the Lambeth Starch Manufactory, that theyshould require a pinion of their premises for the extension of their line of railway from Nine Elms to Hungerford-bridge ; but Messrs. Coward and Co. refused to accommodate the railway com pany with a part only of the property in question, insisting that they were bound to take the whole. They had subsequently refused to take the portion of the premises which they had given notice they should want, it appearing that the interest of the Starch Company, as lessees of the property, would expire in about twelve months; and as tt ey required compensation to the amount of about 43,0001. for the entire property, consisting of the manufactory before named, a dwelling-house, two large gardens, a greenhouse, and various outhouses, all of which they contended the railway company were bound to take, if they wonted only a part of the manufactory, the company had preferred waiting until their lease should expire, when they would become, on much easier terms, pos sessed of the freehold..- Mr. Martin, Q.C., now contended, that by the IStli and 19th sections of the Lands Clauses Con solidation Act, when notice had been once given by a railway company to the owner of any laud which they were authu. rised to take by their act, that such land would be necessary for the purposes of the railway, it amounted to a conclusive determination that it was required, and they were bound to take it. 31 orearcr, they become liable to all the terms which the legislature had imposed upon them ; and haring in the present case, given notice that they should want a part of the manufactory in question, they were also bound by the 92nd sec. of the same act to take the whole, if the owner was willing to sell It. The learned gentleman refened to" Rex v. Hungerford Market Com pany " l 4 Barn. and Adol., 327), " Salmon and Randall " (3 Milne and Craig, 439), and "Stone v. Commercial Com pany "(" Milne and Craig, 122), in support of his argument. —Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., contended that the company could not be bound to buy what the prosecutors were not bound to Orb. The railway company had given notice to purchase half a manufactory, but the prosecutor said he was not bound to sell it, and that they could not take it without his con sent, which he refused to give. The prosecutors' case was, that the company could not compel them to sell that part of their property, which they had gi v e n notice they should want, without taking the remainder; and the company being aware of that chose to suffer some inconvenience in the progress of their works, and to let the prosecutors have the bench; of the enjoyment of their property during the re mainder of their term, rather than give 43,0001. for pre mises the greater portion of which they did not want. Then, as to the notice being binding, it had only been so held in the oases cited by his learned friend, with respect to the exact property as to which notice bad been given. In this Bass it appeared fo him that the notice did not alter the maionLof the parties, who must stand just as they did be er* it was given. The learned gentleman proceeded to addrov himself to some technical points, contending that the mandamus did not contain all the averments ,e.... ar y to raise tho questions before the oourt.—M r. :Cain haring been heard in reply the oourt deferred it. judgment. BAIL COURT Sittings In Banco. before Mr. Justice Eris. TEE QUEEN O. ALLEN.—ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN. —Mr. M. Smith moved for a rule to show cause why an in formation, in the shape of a quo warnuito, should not be filed, calling on Mr. John Meade Allen to show cause why I he exercised the office of an aldermen for the borough of Southampton. It appeared that there were ten aldermen of the borough, and in November in every year five went out out of office, and • new election took place. On the Sth of last November Mr. Allen was elected, being fifth on the poll, and • Mr. Lefeuvre (the gentleman on whose behalf he sow moved) was girth. The ground of his application was, that under the Municipal Corporation Act Mr. Allen was ineligible to fill the office, he being sasemor for the ward of St. Mary. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (sitting. on Crown oases reserved.) Before Lord DP1101•11 and the common low judges. THE QUERN O. WILI3ON It THY FILLING UP AND FINING A BLANK (GONAD CHBOB BT A CLEKIL FOROP.ILT ?—This was a point left from the Liverpool Assizes. Tho facts of the case have already been fully stated in the assize intelligence of the Express.. Wilson was clerk to a Mr. M`Nichull, a merchaut Liverpool, who gave him a signed cheque on the banker. leaving the amount in blank, which Wilson was directed to fill up from the bill-book. Wilson filled up the cheque with the sum of VOL, which ho cashed, and appro priated to his own use, on accountof salary alleged to be due whim. Ho was then indicted fir a forgery, and the objec tion that the act did not amount to a forgery having been raised and overruled, and Wilson Coned guilty, the present appeal was made for :he opinion of the judges of England. —Mr. Brett (in the able' cc of Mr. E. James) on Saturday argued that the offence was not a forgery under the statute, seeing that a discretionary power was given to the prisoner by hie master as to the amount to be filled up--At the con clusion of the learned counsel's address the court rose. ARCHES COURT. Before sir H. J. Test. GEILS 1/. 0811.6.-Dr. Addama resumed his reply in this case to-day, and terminated. No point of im. portance was quoted beyond that already reported, except evidence of • character most offensive to delicate or moral minds. But, at the close of the learned ad vocate's reply, he implored the learned judge early to give his decision, es should there be a point alleged to be proved against Mrs. Gelds, she should have an immediate appeal to the judicial committee of the Privy Council, and to the bar of public opinion. (The last few words were spoken most emphatically by Dr. Addams).—Dr. Curteia rose to address the court elao in reply.—Sir Ilerbert J. Fust: I will not proceed with the case further to-day, after what I have just beard. It is disgraceful to the court, the public and the profession, that the argument should have been conducted in the way it has been. Sir H. J. Fuld then rase from his seat to retire, but being very fettle re quired aid to conduct him into the dining-hall to unrobe, during which Dr. Addams rose, and with vehemence said, " I protest, sir, against your observations, and I treat them, sir, with contempt and disgust." (Strong emotion in the court was here displayed.)—An adjournment of the case was ordered. CITY OF LONDON COUNTY COURT. Before B. Bullock, Esq. HEWETT v. WILLIAMS, DEACON, AND Co.—Judgment was given in this case. The facts were there :—A certain sum of money had been paid into the bank of Knapp and Co., of Abingdon, of which advice was forwarded to the creditor in London, who was directed to apply for payment to the defendants, Messrs. Willi►ms and Co. On applying as directed, Messrs. Williams and Co. gave a cheque, drawn by themselves, and upon themselves, crossed to Spooner and Co., bankers. The plaintiff then applied on the following day for the money, but payment was refused on the amend that Messrs. Knapp had suspended payment —His Honour said he felt bound, after full consideration of this case, to give a verdict in favour of the plaintiff. The cheque was given by the Messrs. Williams for the amount paid into the bank at Abingdon; it was evident that the Messrs. Wil liams considered themselves responsible for the sum, at the time they honoured the letter of advice and gave the cheque, and if it had been presented on the same day It would have been paid. His Honour did not consider that the plaintiff's delay made any alteration in the case, and he thought the i defendants were liable for the amount. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT. Before D. C. Mlles, Esq. GAME O. MALCOLM. -- Assumrrtox OF POWER TO ORDER A DISCHARGE FROM POISON BY THE it:DOZ.—At the sitting of the court, Mrs. Malcolm, the wife of the de fendant in this use, which was reported on Satur day, applied to the court for the release of her husband from custody, he having been committed on the previous evening to Whiteeross.street Prison, at the suit of Mr. Gas man, the plaintiff, a gentleman living at Tottenham. Bartlett, the officer of the court, said that having left Mr. Malcolm in Whiteeross-st. Prison,hewent on Friday evening,at the request of Mr. Malcolm, to Tuttenham,and had an interview with Mr. °anon. That gentleman admitted that he had received 41. from Mr. Malcolm-21. on the tBth, by poet-office order, and 21., previously ; and expressed his surprise that Mr. Malcolm had been taken in execution. He, Bartlett, having ascertained that Mr. Malcolm's statement to the judge on the previous day, was so nu ,rorse.t, begged or Mr. tramon to write a letter, detailing the fact to the judge, as he had promised Mr. Malcolm that he would write to Mr. Cuff, the clerk of the court, and stop the execution of the warrant of committal. Mr. Chalon consented, and began to write a letter, which he destroyed, saying that he would appear at the court the first thing in the morning, and would apply to the judge for I his release. He was nut, however, present. —Mrs. Mal colm said that all she knew of the transaction was, that Mr. Gaston, after the judgment summons was issued, had owl seated to take the debt by instalments of 21. per week.— The learned Judge said, by the 100th section power was given to the judge, should he think fit, to rescind or alter any such order. He should take upon himself to order Mr. Mal colt's release.—Accordingly, at the rising of the court, the learned Judge made out an order for the defendant's release from custody POLICE.- SATURDAY. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. EXTRAORDINARY CASE or BIGANY.-A gentleman, whose name did not transpire, attended and made known the following romantic exploit of a young female, who, by craving the benevolence of Sir Chapman Marshall, bad placed herself in York Castle under a very remarkable charge of bigamy. On Friday, the 7th inst., a young woman, giving the came of Amelia Young, applied to Sir Chapman Marshall, at the Guildhall police court, for his aid in *.cing sent back to her native home. With great plausibility she told her tale, her dialect favour ing the truth of her story. She said that when only twelve years of age, she was stolen from a boarding school and married to a young man who worked at plumbing and glazing. They were separated two days afterwards, and her husband was tried and imprisoned for enticing her away—she having some pecuniary expectations. After he was liberated he enlisted for a soldier, yid was discharged after seven years of servitude ; but as he was a drunken fellow she did not live with him. She learnt straw bonnet making, and having an uncle resident in Marylebone, she came up to London from York in quest of him. She had, however, been unable to find him, and basing no means of sustaining herself, and being in very distressed circum stances, she had appealed to Sir Chapman Marshall for his assistance in getting back to Pocklington, near York. The . alderman put several questions to her respecting different parties at York, and finding her answers to be correct, he directed that the inspector of police should be communi cated with on the subject. The reply was favourable to the applicant, and 30s. was given her to proceed home by the parliamentary train. It appears, however, that she only returned to her native locality to add another link, as it were, to her romantic history. As soon as she reached Pock lington, she was apprehended by Mr. Key, the police superintendent of the district, and on Thursday last she was examined before the magistrates at York Castle, on a charge of bigamy. Here her true life came out. She was the daughter of Mrs. Ann Atkinson, who carried on the busi ness of Unman and brazier, in 1839, in the city of York. Her daughter was then 12 years of age, and she made arrange ments to send her to school. On the 29th of April the girl went, as the mother thought, to school ; but on her proceed ing the same day to pay the entrance money, she found that her daughter was not there. A young man, of the name of James Young, who worked in the parent's business, had made some excuse to leave his work that morning, and did not return. It appeared that the girl, on coming of age, would come into possession of 2001., and Young, being aware of that fact, had taken her off by the coach to Leeds, and married her on the following day. The lather of Young aided their flight, and at the next assizes at York they were tried for abduction, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. How they were separated has already been given. The evidence adduced to support the charge of bigamy showed that about four years after her first marriage —viz., on the 2nd of April, 1843, she was united to Charles William Eliard, living at Pocklington.—ln her defence, she did not deny the second marriage, but she stated that w hen she was wedded to Eliard, her mother told her thut sh , a s not doing wrong and that she was at perfect liher.) to marry again, the former marriage being null and void, and that Young had no claim upou her.—The magistrate, however, committed her for trial.— -Sir Chapman Marshall, alter expressing consider able surprise at the plausible way she had imposed on him, observed, it Ives difficult to guard against ouch impositions at all times. He directed what he considered satisfactory in quiries to be made, and for the sake of deserving creatures, he was sorry for what had occurred.—lt transpired Nat Mr. Roe, the officer of Guildhsll court, received a letter from the girl on her arriving at Pocklington, in which she thanked them for what they . bad done, that she was not very com fortable, that she intended to again visit London in the spring, and hoped they would do what they could for her. MANSION-HOUSE.....STEALING A CASH Box.—Aticlrew Schaffer, who was charged with having stolen a cash box con taining 341. 15s. 3d., in the office of the Patent Steam Navi gation Company, was finally examined.—The prisoner, who is a foreigner Hell known to the police, was taken into na -1 tody by Davis, one of the most active f the body, and made a desperate struggle to escape, but s'as overpowered by the accidental appearance of some policemen who were passing at the time.—Evidence was given that he had gone, fol lowed at some little distance by a young foreign• er (with whom he had been frequently seen) into the offices of the company, and that after hi, departure the eaah-box was mired--The prisoner was committed for trial. WORSHIPISTREET.—AN anuoir SHOPI. IFTEL—Eli zabetA &mills, alias ✓onus, alias Lloyd, was charged with stealing a whole piece of merino cloth from the ajtop of Mr. THE EXPRESS . MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1848. Butler, a drark r, in Shoreditch. The prisoner, in company with three female enapanions, having stolen the piece of merino from the interior of the shop, coolly stationed her self outside of the window to view the goods there, but adroit as she was she had been observed, and was taken with the property concealed under her shawl. Even then, how ever, aho was hardly taken aback, and with the utmost readiness asserted that, wanting some merino for a dress, she had merely taken the piece in question while she looked at those in the window to so* if there was any more ouitable. Unluckily for her she was known by the several aliases above-mentioned, and she was committed to Newg►te for trial. CLERKENWELL.—Linzt ox GUARDIANS.—fr• E. Hancock, printer, of No. 5, Somers-street, was summoned to produce certain printed papers, and to show cause why he I should not deliver up the name of the author of the mme.— Mr. Boulton, solicitor, attended se clerk to the guardians of the poor of Clerkenwell, to watch the proceedings, which I were instituted under the Printers' Act of the 39th Geo. 111. 1 see. 29.—A short time ago a boy, named Err, fell into a cop per of boiling water, at Mr. Auhin's establishment for pauper children at Norwood, which occasioned his decease, and on an investigation before the coroner a verdict of " accidental death" was returned. Several persona who have been noto rious for years in making a demon! amongst the rate-payers have made up a book, accusing the guardians of Clerkenwell of "a guilty connivance of the horrid affair," and otherwise moat greedily lioelling them and other gentlemen. With a view to prosecute the promoter or prernot,rs of such an in famous attack, the defendant now wascompellNl to appear or in default to ho adjudged to pay the sum of 201. On the de fendant answering to the summons, Mr. Tyrwhitt asked him if he was ready to comply with it ? He answered that before he did so he should claim the privilege of examining the par ticular clauses of the statute under which he was brought there.—Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was not bound to comply with his request, as it was supposed that every nian knew the law he, however, would grant his request. The magistrate , then read the clauses bearing on the ease.—The defendant afterwards handed in the papers in question, upon which he wrote the name and address of the calumniator. They were then given back to him with a caution to produce them again on a future day, and the summons was dismissed. MARYLEBONE —CONTEMPLATED itonagar OF 2,0001. —F. Swormors, recently a constable in the 1) division, was charged with having incited James Walkley to assist him in committing a robbery at the house of Mica Pingley, No 24, Paddington-green. The man Walkley had lived at the prisoner's house for the last three months. On Sunday, the 16th inst, the prisoner, on coming off duty, told him he was reported at Scotland. yard, and if compelled to resign or he • discharged he should go to sea. On asking the prisoner how he would be able to meet the expense of doing so, he said there was plenty of property in Miss Dingley's parlour, and that his intention was then to go to France, and from thence to Maryland, United States. He further said he could put on Walkley'a coat (a velveteen one), and go into the house and fetch out 2,0001. worth of jewellery and other arti cles. On Thursday last prisoner had some further convert.• tion with Walkley, and asked him to go to Miss Dingley's that night; that as coon as he (prisoner) could get the cook to sleep he would let Walkley in, to take the property and let him out with it, but Walkley refused to have anything to do with the robbery, and told Se gnat Hardwick, 7 1), of the propoml the prisoner had made him. The prisoner had been discharged from the police force that day.— Miss Dingley's cook and housemaid admitted that the prisoner and Walkley had been in the habit of visiting them almost daily at their mistress's house.—The prisoner vets remanded until Thursday next. CHARITY.—The magistrates of this court thankfully acknowledge the receipt of the second half of a 51. note from "W. C.," for the relief of the poor of this district. " W. F. G." has likewise forwarded a donation of 51. to this office, for the same benevolent purpose. LAM BETH.—Avvestrven MURDER.—E. C. Fitzmayor, a landing-waiter in her Mejesty's Customs, who had been remanded from the preceding evening, on a charge of attempting to murder his wife, way re-examined.—A Police constable informed the magistrate that Mrs. Fitsmayor, the prisoner's wife, was unable to attend, and handed in a certi ficate from her medical attendant to that effect —Mr. Briggs, an attorney, who said he had known the prisoner and his family for some years, and attended for him as his friend, stated that he could, by the most indisputable medi cal testimony, prove the prisoner's insanity. Of this fact his wife was thoroughly convinced, and had sent him a friendly message that morning —The prisoner's mother, in reply to Mr. Norton's questions, said that it was intention of her daughter in-law to have attended on that day, but after seeing the medical gentleman, who wee of opinion that it would not be safe to leave the house, or even her bed, she changed her mind.— Mr. Norton observed that when the medical man had stated on the evening before that the prisoner's wife would be stile to attend on that day, he doubted much whether she would be in a condition to appear and give her evidence. The in• juries were described to be revere, and might lead to serious consequences, such as lock-jaw, and the patient ought there fore to he kept as quiet and free from eseitement es possible. —Mrs. Fitrmayor, the prisoner's mother, hoped his worship would make an order for the admission of her son into the infirmary at the prison, and for his remaining there during the remand.—Mr. Norton replied that he should do so.— Quionier, constable, said that from the inquiries he had made, there could be very little doubt that the prisoner's in sanity was brought on by excessive drinking. He had as certained that he had taken at one sitting as muck as a bottle of gin, a bottle of rum, and a bottle of wine.—The prisoner was remanded. GREENWICH.—HIGHWAT ROREERT ANT) ATTEMPTED MERDEIL—JOOO Jones and James lung, wat.rmen, were re-examined, chanted with robbing Thomas Carey, a seaman, of a quantity of sovereigns and silver, and afterwards throw ing him into the river, off Rotherhithe ; and the prisoner King with further assaulting Daniel Felby, who gave the alarm on hearing Carey's cries from the shore. Carey hod been paid off from the Wiebeach, Russian trader, at Whi beach, on the 11th inst., on which day he earns up by railway to London , and being too late to reach Deptford, where his family resided, that night, he proceeded to Wapping, and hired a boat to take him to Deptford from Execution Dock stairs. He engaged the pri. soner Jones to take him, but the prisoner King jumped into the boat, and said, as it was late (eleven o'clock), they would make short work of it. When in the stream, Jones proposed to go to the " Eagle," at Rotherhithe, and have a quart ,f " hot pot." Prosecutor agreed to this, and they pulled the boat across the river for that purpose. In addition to the " hot pot" the prisoners called for some rum. Three sepa rate half pints were drunk amongst them, when donee said, " It is time to be getting under weigh for Deptford." They then proceeded to the boat, and on reaching the bottom of the causeway Jones took Carey by the collar and rifted his pockets. Carey, who was drunk, resisted, upon which Jones forced him off the pathway on to the bed of the river, and nearly buried him in the mud. Felby, who was standing on the shore, heard cries, and went to assist, when King ran to struggle with him, and got him on the ground. Felby roared loudly for the police, when a police constable came and secured Jones, and another came to the aid of Felby, and both prisoners were secured and taken to the station. Part of the stolen property was found on the person of Jones, consisting of two sovereigns, two half crowns, and one shilling and sixpence in silver. The prosecutor was, with difficulty, got out of the mud, and saved from a watery grave. as the tide was coming up. The case had been remanded, in order to complete the evidence, and prepare the depositions, but on the case being called on, it was ascertained that the prosecutor and the witness Felby had not been home all night, and that it was confidently be lid that they bad been tampered with, and had some women of the town " planted" on them for that purpose.— Mr. Traillesid, the ends of justice should not be frustrated if he could prevent it. He should remand the prisoners from Meek. to week, and in the meantime issue warrants for the apprehension of the parties.—Warrants were accordingly placed in the hands of the police. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY EVENING. The funds were to-day iu a atilt more animated state than during any previous period of the week, or, in fact, since the commencement of the present ac coont. The quo' ations continue to improve at the Paris Bourse, and political affairs in France hate become decidedly more tranquil. The Bink of Eng land returns, too, exhibit a further gradual acquisition of metallic resources ou the part of the institution, all of which contributes to the support of the markets. Purchases, however, have gone on, for various ac counts, chiefly in the replacement of stocks disposed of during the late panic, parties being fearful of fur. ther delay, in the face of the accumulation of bullion by the Bank, and other circumstances which seem to favour an increased strengthening of the markets. Consols were last called 881 to ..,.: for account ; Three per Cent. Reduced Stock, 88t to ; the Pace-and-a Quarter per Cents., 89k to I. ; Exchequer Bills, 265. to 28s. premium. Bank Stock was nominally called 197; to 200, but nothing was known to have been done in it at those figures. There has been some increase of business in the foreign market. Spanish Five per Cent. Stock has been at 191 to i ' and the Three per Cents. at 291 to 30. Equador Bonds were marked 3. Brazil stock was at 83. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds were 54k, and at the close 53. Money has been offered, on the deposit of Consols, reimbursable on the 24th proximo—that is to say, on the next account day, at the very low rate of l; per cent. per annum, such is the want of stock experienced by speculators, in order to carry on their operations. The committee of the Stock-exchange have, it appears, entered into arrangements with a French news-agent for the forwarding of the closing prices at the Paris Bourse, from day to day, in time for the exhibition of the quotations to the house on the follow ing morning at its opening. Messrs. Perk-ire, Schlosser, and Mullins have, through their *elicitors, Messrs. Crowder, Maynard. and Co., signified to their creditors their readiness to divide among them 3s. in the pound on any early day. Circulars to that effect have been issued. During the past year, 21,536 ships paid the Sound dues. Of these vessels, 10,674 were from the North , Sea, and 10,862 from the Baltic. This is the greatest number recorded for the space of ten years. Last year, 1,879 ships, of IThich 771 were laden with wheat, patted the Great Belt. It transpires, according to the Siusbian Mercury, that the bank of Messrs. Arnstein and Eskeles, of Vi e nna, which has suffered so much by the recent failures at Carlsruhc and Frankfort, is about to wind up its affairs. It is estimated that, all debts being liquidated, Messrs. Arnstein and Eskeles will have a surplus of five millions of florins ' or about half a mil lion sterling. This withdrawal from business will be an event of much interest is Germany, and to the commercial world at large, the firm being one of the first banking establishments in Europe, and certainly second to one only in Vienna. The eagerness with which the government of the United States presses forward on all occasions the operations of the American mint, especially in the recoinage of foreign gold, consisting for the greater part of sovereigns, into eagles and half eagles, ought not to escape attention. It is indeed but the natural sequence of the Jacksonian policy, and its complement in the Sub-Treasury Bill, by which all customs dues are made payable in metallic values only. That policy contemplated, or purposed to contemplate, as its chief object, the more extended dissemination of a metallic circulation among the people at large. Another leading object avow, d, which President Polk asserts has been so far successfully achieved, was to restrain the banks of the different states from excessive issues of paper money, to which they . were accustomed when, as before, made the recipients and deposits of government dues, and thus were enabled to accumulate in their vaults vast sums of specie, upon the basis of which they proceeded to issue paper as if the state hoards in deposit were their own. The banks are now restricted so far as seems possible, meaning of course banks solvent and conducted with average discretion, from any glaring excess of issue, because more liable than before, when bank paper was receivable in payment of treasury dues, to be called upon for specie by their customers and depositors who may have heavy amounts to pay over to the government on fiscal account. It is rather surprising that Sir Robert Peel and the party who with him are so laudably solicitous to " saturate " the country with gold, and keep down paper to a given ratio, do not take the short cut to the end of the American treasury. Instead of crowding bank com mittees and banking bills session upon session, to devise and execute weans for the persecution of hanks and paper-money makers: for coercing the Bank of England into locking up millions of gold more than could be called for, and drawing in its notes accordingly, thus pinching the circulation at both ends at once : or otherwise compelling the Bank to buy millions of gold which it could not possibly WIC at a fixed price, whatever the market price of the world, and overwhelming the public with bank notes to all the extent of the millions of gold in surplus— instead of all this circuitous ambiguity of legislation, why not decree simply in American fashion, that all dues and taxes shall be receivable only in the coin of the realm ? This is the short way to keep gold in the country, for a time at least, although it may be doubted whether it would contribute to bring it in. Banking and paper-money perplexities would be re solved at once—how need not be told—and the con coctors of currency theories and Bank Charter Acts might rest from their labours. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury states that the amount of metallic moneys imported into the United States during the last fiscal year (ending 30th of June last), was 24,121,219 dollar°, of which there remained in the country 22,276,170 ; whilst the num ber of pieces struck off at the mint and its branches exceeded 20 millions of dollars in value, principally, we arc told, from the conversion of foreign moneys into coins of the United States. This ardour of recoinage, principally of gold, raises the suspicion that some advantage is found in the su perior purity of our standard, now known to rank foremost in the world, to compensate at least the ne cessary waste and charges of the operation. As showing the tenacity, even to disadvantage sometimes, and commercial prejudice, of the American government in this monetary management, it may be mentioned that a house at New York, having occasion to ship sovereigns by the last steamer, applied to the collector or treasury agent to be accommodated with 25,000 against dollars, at, as may be supposed, a cer tain agio on the exchange. The operation was agreed upon. Application was subsequently made for 50,000 more, upon the knowledge that the agent bad a large amount in hand, but was absolutely refused, although within a day or two he despatched gold to the value of 900,000 dollars to the American mint for re-coinage.

BADIIN.—CANISItt:HE,JAN.I9.—rIiOPOSLL OP GovEllti ?SENT TO GUARANTEE TNT INTEREST OP THE. DEBTS OF THE BANKRUPT BPINNERIES.—In the sitting of the 18th, of the second Chamber of the States, the President announced that in a secret sitting, held by that Chamber on the 15th, government had presented a project of law relative to the spinning factories of Waghatigel, Ettlingen, and Carlsruhe. The object of this project of law is to give to the creditors of these establishments a guarantee for the payment by govern ment of the interests of the debts during fifteen years, at the end of which time all the debts would be paid. The inte rest guaranteed by government will be 4 per cent, for the first five years, 31 per cent for the next five, and 2 per cent. fur the last. Staatsrath Beck, in the sitting of the 16th, gave such reasons for the passing of this project as show that, without the intervention of government, the creditors of these three factories would never consent to an arrange ment, which, in the contrary case, would ensure to them the payment of the amounts they have disbursed. A com a mittee has been formed to easmine the project of govern ment. In the same sitting on the 17th, Staatsrath Trefurt submitted to the Chamber a project of law for the adoption of a universal system of exchange in Germany. RAILWAY NEWS. The transactions in shares on Saturday did not very well respond to what was passing in the contal market, which was so much upon the advance. French shares were a little better, but neither in the English, Scotch, nor Irish lines was there any im provement w-1-thy of attention, and the fact was looked upon as somewhat remarkable. There were certainly exceptions, and in the ensuing week a dif ferent range of prices may be anticipated. RAILWAY BILLS IN PARLIAMENT. I'IrMNESS DISPOSED OP Rl' EXAMINERS ON sATURDAY. COMMITTER-ROOM, No. 11.—(Before Mr. May.)—Edin burgh and Northern Branches, &c. Allegations further heard. MEETINGS.—Sarsnaa sato Mersa.— flay:yearly Meet mg.—London, Jan. t2.—Mr.W. Y. Richards in the chair.— A large number of shareholders were present. The report set forth that the directors were not in a position to announce the opening of the first section of the line, from Marchienne to Walcourt, with the branches to Laneffe and Morialme. It was found that the contractors had mistaken the nature of the formation through which the tunnels at Jaminulx and liam-sur-Heirs were to be constructed. Some serious slips occurred after the excavittibt of the tunnels had been to a considerable extent completed ; but these difficulties had now been surmounted. They had the satis:aetion, however, of reporting that the junctions of the Sambre and Meuse Railway with the State line near Merchienne and towards Charleroi were completed ; and from the proposed station of the company at Marcbienne to Walcourt (except at the tun nels and about two miles in portions of cuttings and embank 'clients) a single line of the permanent way wes laid ; the permanent way was also laid on the entire length of the Laneffe branch ; and considerable portions of the branch from Walcourt to Morielnie were ready for receiving the rails. They still considered it expedient to await the opening of the first section before submitting to the shareholders any proposition for raising additional capital, and were further encouraged in the suggestion of this course by the assurance received from the Belgian government of their intention to bring a bill before the chambers, by which an extension of time would be granted. The number of sharers upon which the eighth remained unpaid did not exceed 100 end of the ninth call, the last day for the payment of which expired on the 16th December, only 1,656 shares remained unpaid, for the greatest portion of which an early settle ment bad been promised. The receipts to December 31, 1847, amounted to 562,8171. ; the expenditure to 480,75 W. ; whilst the balance comprised the following items ; Amount deposited with Belgian government t 30,000 Ditto, with Irtneh ditto 2,000 Ditto, of Investments Ditto, advanced to contractors 32,000 Ditto, of cult 16,030 The chairman, in moving the adoption of the re port' expressed the disappointment which had been felt by the directors at the delay in opening the line for traffic: they had been misled by the promises of the contractors, who utterly neglecting the caution given them by Mr. Cubitt, had occasioned the accident. Without giving any pledge, he (the chairman) expressed the confidence entertained by the direction that the lice would be opened in March, and in the interval the advantage would be gained of giving the works further time to consoli date. From the engineer's report, it appeared that a further sum of 20,0001. would be required beyond that in hand. On the question being put that the report be adopted, dr. Lindo moved, as an amendment, that m conformity to the 38th article of the statutes, a commission be appointed to examine and audit the accounts of the directors, and to re port to a special meeting, to he convened far the purpose, the result of their inquiry.—The motion bang seconded, the Chairman said there was no obji ction on his part to have the accounts presented by the directors fully investigated, but he must observe that it was highly inconvenient to put the amendment without having given them limo to consider such a proposal. The statutes all required notice to be given of any similar proposition. With respect to auditors, the accounts were open for inspection at the company's office, and every shareholder was empowered to demand and ob tain whatever information he required from the secretary.—A long discussion on this proposal en sued, during the course of which it was stated by the chairman that the origioal plan upon which the estimates laid before the shareholders at previous meetings had been framed was to have only a single line of rail from Marchiennes to the Meuse; but, acting on the advice of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who had stated that one line of rail would never suffice to carry on the immense traffic which I would arise between these two points, and which would ulti mately necessitate the laying down of an additional line of rail, the directors had resolved to incur that outlay at pre sent, in order to avoid the enormous outlay which would necessarily ensue from having to construct this line after the original plan bad been completed. No additional expense bad been occasioned by the slips in the tunnel which had caused the delay, as that was borne solely by the contractors. —A proprietor observed, that if the amendment was agreed to the directors must necessarily resign, as their accounts were thereby impeached.—The question was then put," That the report be agreed to," which was carried.--The Chair man, an stating the result, said that three hands only had been held up against the motion, which was so far satisfac tory, although he could have wished the meeting had been unanimous on this point —Mr. Mac Ewen then moved a vote of confidence to the directors.—Mr. Flood seconded the motion ; but, as the proprietor who made the amendment on the former motion dissented, the word thanks was sub stituted for confidence, and the motion was unanimously agreed to, after which the meeting separated. - - SCOTTIEH CENTRAL. Special Media?. Perth, January 21.—The Marquis of Breadalbane in the chair. --The Chairman said, it would be as well to remind the meeting that the interdict bad been obtained by the Central and Southern Railway Companies, in order to restrain them (the Scottish Central Railway Company) from connecting themselves with the Edinburgh and Glas gow Railway Company, which was considered by some of the shareholders to be a matter of expediency to enter upon. The directors had obtained the opinion of the Lord Advo- I cote and Mr. Talbot, on the question as to whether they should appeal to the House of Lords against the interdict or not, and their opinion was against prosecuting the case further, on the ground that the same reason which induced the Court of Session to confirm the interdict, would also lead the House of Lords to support that de cision. Tho question then was, appeal or no appeal.—Mr. R. Robertson moved a resolution to the effect that the company should not appeal against the decision of the Court of Session. The motion wee carried unanimously.—Mr. W. Anderson, of Techmuiry, moved that the Marquis of Breadalbane should communicate with the chairman of the Caledonian Company and the chairman of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, with a view to settle the differences between those companies and the Scottish Central Company, and to endea vour to effect a lease jointly with those companies on terms which might be considered adequate.—Mr. Brown thought that the mention of a joint lease was going in the face of the interdict —Mr. Robertson said that there was another objec tion to the resolution being put, viz., that that was a special meeting, and must be confined to the business for which it was called. They might, however, dissolve that meeting and then meet as shareholders, when the resolution might be put. —Mr. Campbell wished to give notice of a motion on a different question altogether: whether the board of directors had come to any decision as to the subject of traffic on the Sabbath-day I—The Chairman said the question had not been formally brought before the board, but merely incidentally by memorials presented to them from time to time.—Mr. Campbell then gave notice, that at the next half-yearly statutory meeting, be should move that no kind of work whatever should be done on the Scottish Central Railway on the Sabbath-day.—The special meeting was then dissolved. —General Meeting.—Mr. Anderson proposed his resolu tion, substituting for the " Edinburgh and Glasgow Com pany," the words "other companies," and leaving out the reference to the joint-lease.—The motion was agreed to unanimously.—The Chairman felt the greatest confidence that this would turn out one of the most profitable under takings carried through in this country; that if conducted with judgment and economy it would turn out moat advantageous to its proprietors and to the general interests of the community. He was happy also to inform the meeting that from personal in spection of the line, speaking not certainly as an engineer but by the application of his own senses and his experience in these matters, that the way in which the works were con structed would redound to the credit of the engineer, and would prove most stable and satisfactory, and he regretted that any delay should have taken piece in the opening of the line ; but he believed, from information given biro, that the line from Stirling to Castlecary would be opened very shortly. The government inspection had taken place on Monday last, and in the course of about ten days the line would be opened. He had also the satisfaction of informing them that whatever might be the course to which the conferences with the other companies might lead, they had iqin their own power to commence an independent line of action on their railway, and to perform all the first requirements of the traffic without assistance from any company. As to the other portion of the line from Stirling to Perth, there was little doubt but that it would be opened in the course of the spring. He was also happy to inform them that the late call had been well responded to.—A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. SHARE LlST.—LoNuosr Jan. 22.

Printing cloths are heavy in stock, and. loa n having been anxious to effect sales, lower prime boo hi t accepted. For 30. inch shirting' th,'re has been as limited demand, but in 40-inch 60's th ere has l-eel:11:14 more inquiry for the home trade ; the sales, however, Latta generally been to a small amount. Domestic' are very 4 and in yarns the depression is great er even t h an i s there being an exceedingly limited business, at Whi n ' prices. WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Lzens, Jan. 22.—The ala& ance of merchants at the cloth-halls this morning wm " a e r..ry numerous, and, though the amount of business try. acted was not so large as we bad the satisfaction to report * Tuesday last, yet it was fully equal to what has been does on any Saturday for some time past. The cloths sold era principally milled fabrics of the middle qualLies, and of varied colours. THE IRON TRADE,Burtftec:men, lAN. 22.- -Th e actad state of the iron trade has undergone little change since au last notice. The masters are in as unpleasant a lit as dui well can be. The trade strike has extended rather time& creased, and during the past week the men have erodib le ,' their wrongs in a tone of louder defiance, and as eaass of a menacing aspect than before. Mewings have beenbal in all directions during the week, but especially- in the era ley district ; the men have been addressed by delegates g em the National Association of United Trades in London, sag enjoined to preserve " peace, law, and order." This whole some advice, however, appears to have had but little effect. At five o'clock on Thursday mwaing a vast melamine of the colliers assembled at a place near Holly Hale. They pr a y ceeded to the different pits in the neighbourhood, and c ere . pelled the men who had resumed their labour 'pia to quit it ; a slight skirmish took place, and in the clone of it a girl was struck down with a brick-cud. Last evening than was another large meeting of the men at Common Side, ales near Dudley : from five to six thousand were present, and several harangues were delivered. A Mr. Robson, from the association already referred to, enjoined the men to become members of it ' • and therea ft er the question was pot as to whether work should be resumed at the proposed reduced rate of wages. Not a single hand was held up for this proposition, but the converse quest ion being pat e n s . ther they would stand out against the reduction," it was responded to be a simultaneous and unuitans show of hands. The meeticg separated peacefully_ mindful probably of the fact that a troop of dragoons, already billeted in the town, would be out at a moment's notice. The magistrates have named a notice warning the colliers and others to re frain from bread= of the peace, and expressing the determination oa the put of the authorities to afford due protection to those who us willing to work, and at the same time to punish with the utmost severity all those who by acts of violence disturb the peace of the neighbourhood. The miners and ironwork= in the employ of Lord Ward were to-day to be served with notices of a reduction in their wager similar to those resolved upon by the other coal and iron masters of the district. Judging, therefore, from present appearances, it seems not at all improbable that in a short time there aPI be scarcely a pit or furnace at work throughout the mineral fields of South Staffordshire. Three " ene ma* " have already been productive of some disturb ances. At the police-court at Dudley, on Friday morn ing, two youths were brought up, charged with being concerned in a riotous assemblage at the works of Mean. Cochrane sad Oeach, the Woodside Pita, as also at the pis of Messrs. Matins and Robinson, Sheet End, near Kingswin ford. On both these ocesaiora susses were thrown and other modes of violence resorted to. One man was identified as having raked the fire out of the lamps, and for this offence he was committed to take his trial at the sessions. Such is a brief outline of the occurrences which have taken place, and of the actual position of affairs in the district: and however ominous these may be, I am happy in being enabled to an nounce that no further embarrassment amongst the principal( of the trade has been reported. It is important this fact should be made known, after the extraordinary announcement and exaggeration which appears in the Morning Herald of to-day in an article upon this subject.
