INSOLYTIFT COURT, Before ?dr. CommireionerWM. F.DWARD MAPLRTON OXPOUD TEAD&SNEN AND TILE Unit U.OUADVATEE—This inset' tent, the San of a clergyman in Yorkshire, and whose debts amounted to 2,000 f., was opposed b y Mr. Dowse for waveral creditors, all Oxford tradesmen, and was supported by Mr. Cooke.—The opposition was on the round of contractin: debts without any reasonable expectation of payment. The debts were chiefly for articles of extravagance , such as horses, gigs, jewellery, bows and arrows, whip cases, &c. ; and the creditors complained that a young man in the insol vent's position should have got so thoughtlessly into debt. — The insolvent stated that he went to Oxford in 1844, his father making him an allowance of 2601. a year ; that no sooner had he arrived and settled himself in his chambers, than tradesmen flocked to him in alined duutless numbers, importuning him to commence an account with them, and stating that they were willing to give very , lengthened credit. At least fifty, he assure d the court, v:sited him in One week, and if he declined to get into their debt, he was sure of a second and a third visit, till at length he was almost compelled to give orders. He ad mitted that his debts were all contracted since the commence ment of 1845. One item in the schedule was a charge of 1461 for the hire and laming of a horse. The hill of another creditor showed that no km than ten hats had h .en supplied to the insolvent in one year ; mid in a third hill, a lady's brooch, purchased by the insolvent, was entered as a gentle man's ring, in order, as it watt admitted, to &milt° the father. Mr. Itanale, one of the creditors, whose shop was nicknamed by the students the " ruination shop," was examined, and upon being asked by the learned commis sioner why he did not ascertain the addre ss of the insolvent's father, and write and ink him what were his son's means instead of allowing the young man to get into his debt to the extent of 701. in one year, be replied, that if it be came known among the students that such a thing had been done, he might as will shut up his shop, fur they would all conspire to ruin his business. The system of trade in Oxford was to anew the stud, sits to have what they plow, and present the bills every two years, after which time five per cent. was charged upon the amount until it was dis. charged.—Mr. Cooke strongly reprehended the system pur sued by the tradesmen in the university town., and expressed his opinion that the modes they adopted to ensnare young men into obtaining credit from them amounted to nothing less than dishonesty, knewing that the fathers must either pay the a xtravagent hill. of their sons, or tiros , sons would never he able t..) take a degree. It was a speculation urn the feelings of parents that, ho was sorry to say, in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred was but too suiccesfal.—The Commi,e:aner said this was a most painful case. The hopes of a family, centred in the welfare of the in.olvent, were utterly blighted—his own expecta tions ruin, d ; and all, no doubt, from much indiscretion °able own p:.rt, hut principally from the too great williugne fit mi the pelt of tradesmen to indulge and pander to that reckless feeling inherent in youth. It was perfectly cl ar thut the priecnt insolvent had been beset by • parcel of men who were luite unworthy of commiseration. lie should there fore discharge the insolvent forthwith, and recommend him, by a life of industry and carefulness, to make amends as far as possible for his past folly. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT. &face D. C. Moyle's, gnu., Judge. freer te.Owen.—WmattlEtt lurnisounrart Pagexengs FOE THE TIME EXECUTION AGAINST GOODS.—Io this case tic def. mlaut, on 'Tuesday last, was committed to prison for 40 clays for refusing to answer a question as to what had be come of his furniture ? The plaintiff's wactter yesterday • stated Mint since the committal they had fou nd out where the goods were deposited, and now applied to the court for execution to issue upon the goods. The hunted gentleman ronteneleil that, under the 103rd r ction of the 9 & 10 Viet., the imprisonment did nut deprive the plaintiff of his right to a fr, sh summons against the defendant, "end execution against his goods or person, as if such imprisonment had not taken place."—The learned judge said, that referred to the conclusion of the imprisonment and not execution being issued whilst the man was in prison.—The solicitor con tended that reading the 106th section with the 103rd, which enacted that if a person satisfied the debt, he should be als o,. ... charged out of custody, it appeared that if they took the • t • '•'• goods, that would be satis'ying the debt, and the man could he at once discharged.—The learned Judge: Suppose you obtain execution against the good., and not sufficient is obtained to satisfy tht debt, how is the man to be discharged out of custody ? I doubt your ri,ht at all to go against the goods Instil the impriiontuent is it rminated.—The solicitor said the defendant could immediately release himself by sell ing the farniture and satisfying the debt—The Judge : No doubt; but if you proceed against him by 'eke faeiasyou de prive him of all swans of getting nut of prison. Teen, again, what security is there if the plaintiff takes the goods that he will nut leave the defendant in prison until the forty (lays expire ? The 103rd section contirues, in my opinion, the un diminished power to the plaintiff to proceed again against the defendant when the term of imprisonment expires, either against his person or his goods, if he the u have any ; but it • would be a great injustice to a defendant whilst in prison for the debt, to have execution issued against his goods for the saute cause of action, as it would deprive him of a:I power to • release himself fr• m the inapr:s inment. The application could not be allowed. POLICE.—: YorreßeAs. OtILDHALL.--IN rstxormENT OF A REGI , TEREI , DeatoB.—Mr. Chambers was summoned for having sold an ironing -stove, called the P.,ragon rtov, , , the shape of bhicb infringed upon the regietered design of Mr. V. Price. —Mr. Price was the inventor of en appatatus for the heating of irons, which be registered in February lest. He entered into a contract with the defendant, that for all tl.e stoves he sold he should receive 12s. 2d. per dozen. Defendant after wurds eroposed to Mr. Price that he should receive 11 per • dozen. This proposition was not agreed to. and the contract was broken, and Mr. Price, the plaintiff, declined allowing his invention being used any longer; shortly after which the defendant, Mr. Chamber", reeistered a new stove, which was the subject of the present comp tint. The difference between the two stoves was that tbe plaintiff's wss one for heatieg ienns both at the fr eit, Pions, aed top, and thtt having handle at each side it was applicable to all kinds of fireplaces, and could be removed at the option of the person using it. The defendant's was something of the same shave, with this exception, that it could stand in the midst of a room, and be used afterwards ate a fireplace by attaching a pipe to the chimney. It was also different in form, inasmuch as it could not be used in any fireplace, and was only improvement on stnvia that had been in use the last 30 years.—Aldermen Wilson and Farehrother came to the con clusion that Mr. Chambers's invention was not a piracy on Mr. Price's, inasmuch at Mr. Checabers'A stove could not be used in the same manner cs the compleinant's. BOW-STREET.—CITZIitner A FORGEU CHEQUE —G. Walker was charged with kr owingly uttering a forged cheque for 3001., purporting to te drawn by Merars.

WORSHIP-STREET.—A PaositetNo Sox.—!l. Tack. reit, aged 12, was charged by hie father with robbery —The prosecutor stated that the prisoner hod manifested the moat vicious propensities from his earliest childhood, and that every means had been adopted to effecs 10i reclamation, but without success. His habits of pilfering were MI active and inveterate, that witness was cumpelled, when he retired to rest, to dispose of his clothes about the bed in which he lay, to insure their safety. On the preceding morning he wi aroused by the slamming of the street-door, and on searching for his trowsers, which be had placed under his pillow over night, and the pockets of which contained a sovereign and 7"., he found that they were gone. He immediately opened the window, and lOW the !intoner running down the street with the garment under his arm. Witness raised an slarm, and the prisoner wan given into custo4.—Police-constable Morell proved that he was present at the Cl, stk. 'swell sessions in the month of September, 1846, when the prisoner was convicted upon a charge of felony, and sent. need to six months' imprisonment ; he was subsequently tried with ano ther boy at the Croydon ssaizta for knocking down and robbing a child, of which charge he was likewise found guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and to be_p r ivately whipped . — The prisoner was committe d for trial. BHVTAL ASSAULT.—J. Brown was charged with assault ing and wounding Mr. W. F. Wilkinson, a veterinary sur geon, residing at Dritfield, in Yorkshire. The complainant stated that he arrived on the preceding evening at the Shore ditch terminus of the Eastern Couuties Railway, and pro ceeded to an adjoining public-house to seek accommodation for the night. He was followed by the prisoner and two other rain, who approached so closely to him that he sus. petted their intentiono, and desired them to keep their own ..:mpany. lie bad no fawner uttered the ward, than the pri snner ' auk a blow at him with some instrument, WnICIII in. fleeted a frightful cut under his left e)ti, and covered his face with blood.

FRIDAY An imprtseion was abroad to-day, as amounting for the singular fail in the funds, in the absence of any special apparent cause, that certain capitalists 11 were getting out of stock quietly, and for which is purpose sales were made through the intervention of jobbers, instead of brokers through whose intro- 60. mission the origin of the transactions might be g traced. There is probably some truth in this sugges ties, which comes from parties high placed in the 3 1 Stock Exchange. Plainly to speak, the Roth schilds have sufficient on their hands, with the late French loan, French railway shares, i ! the Great Northern especially, and a vast number of :4 small German loans with industrial share enterprises ' l , besides, to say nothing of a Belgian loan in negotia tion, to induce them to realise a portion of their mass of securities by selling on the public. Cons 14, which ! opened to-day at 851 to fell subsequently to 85 sellers, but at the close of business recovered so far as to 851 . to 1 for the opening, with a market by no means firm. The Reduced hirers, 844 to 51. Three and-a-Quarter per Cents., 86 to 4. Long Annuities, 8. Exchequer Bills, 9s. to 12s. premium. India Bonds, 3s. discount to ls. premium. Bank Stock, 186 to 8. Dutch stocks, coming lower from Amsterdam on the 27th lost, continue in decline here. The Two and-a-Half per Cents. fell at the close of business to 55 to 3, a decline of 1 per cent. within the laet.three days ; the Fours 841 to 51. The incipient specula tion in Spanish Bonds appears to have been stopped through the adverse aspect of the funds, and the prices remain therefore with little alteration, the Fives, 181 to 1, the Throe 301 to j, Mtitieen 171 to 18, Portuguese 23 to 4, New Granada 181 to 19i. Foreign exchange presented little variety to-day. Amsterdam was rather higher, but the market in fact was difficult to deal with. The negotiations on Am sterdam were 12.6 to 1; on Rotterdam, 12.61 ; on Antwerp, 26.5 to 10 ; on Hamburg, 13.13 to a ; on Frankfort, 1231 to ;on Paris, 25.921 to 26 ;on Vienna, 10.19 to 20 ; on Leghorn, 21.35; on Naples, 394 to I; on Madrid, 461—a1l at three months. On Lisbon, at 60 days, 519 to 2. We are concerned to have to state the suspension of payments of the highly respectable house of Cotes worth, Powell, and Prior, in the Brazilian and South American trade, and latterly in the West India trade also. The liabilities are variously reported from 320,0001. to 500,0001. In some quarters it instated that the firm has acceptances to the extent of half a mil lion afloat. The stoppage of Durand, Mackenzie, and Co., in the American trade, is also reported, but the liabilities, it is coneidrred, carnet be heavy. Two other stoppages also were mentioned, one of a West India house, the other in the leather trade, but the name'', without further authority, need not be ren dered public. These unfortunate and unexpected failures, the first more especially, wind up the old year most inauspiciously. The money and commercial accounts from the United States by the Britannia steamer do not come improved materially. Money was still exceedingly tight up to the 15th instant ; and exchange ruled for good bills at 110 to 1101 at New York, but with few takers. Should this state of affairs continue, it is clear that money or capital must begin to return from hence shortly, the more especially as the government will have to raise means for prosecuting the unjust usurpations upon Mexico. The Britannia brings 53,0001. in specie ; the Ashburton, yesterday, 21,900/. The Bank of England averages for the week erffiing the 24th instant give, as compared with the returns of the week previous, the following results: Circulation tissue £25,609,075 Circulation settee 17,822,895 Püblic doprlts Mho . deposits Oorernmentrecuritlca In honking 11 ,0 65 ,2 67~01 Other securi e de ra rtm specie and bullion seven -dal and other bills 807,19 8 The rest The reserve of notes had increased to 7,786,1801. in the banking department, or say. 235,040/. above the previous returns. With the specie in the same department of 627,431/., this constituted a total reserve of 8,413,6301. It is a long time since the Bank was so strong ,in disposable funds. It will be observed, Voiulesser, hew, as the close of the year wu ' --nreaching,the private or other dennsits were drawn • upon. The large addition tinder the coin and bullion head has been already anticipated. It is not likely that much further increase in that respect will have to be noted for some time to come.

The meeting, which was numerously attended, was called for the purp.es: of rfreleiti_t a report from the directors respect tug the amalgamation with the Oranton Company :—The directors at the last ordinary general meeting mule the stearel.olie fa iaare that it would be a, cessary, previous to the amalgamation with the Edinburgh, Leith, and Grunion, to call a special meeting, and. its postponement till now has arisen from continued efforts having been made to arrive at a satisfactory settlement. The expenditure of the Edinburgh, Leith, and (Ironton has exceeded the capital of 310,0001. fixed by their agreements with the Northern. The excess, so far as the directors have had the means of judging, amounts to about 70,0001. ; but as an audit of the Welts has not been permitted, they cannot determine the amount accurately. Of the manner of disposing of that excess, the financial posi tion in other respects, and the nature of the proposals made to the Oranton, the directors submit a brief statement, with their own views of them, it being premised that the directors of the Oranton now maintain that whatever the excess of expenditure may amount to beyond the fixed capital of 310,00(11., that excess, whether now incurred or yet to be incurred in completing their line, ought to become a burden on the amalgamated company. Adopting that ground. the Granton directors have required the amalgamation to be fully carried ou• at once, without the audit of the it accounts, or the inquiry into the com pleteness of their line and works, stipulated for by the agreements. The original negotiations, when concluded, we re embodied briefly in a letter addressed, on the 14th of January, 1846, by the secretary of the Northern to Mr Sand ford, the chairman of the Oranton, and on the following day acknowledged ofll,ially by their secretary. The result of the negotiations mated in these documents distinctly proves that to this company the (Ironton was to be handed over completed, plant and proper station accommodation pro vided, at a cost not to exceed 310.0001. These terms were afterwards embodied in heads of agreement, bearing date the 11th and 13th March, 1846, and in the same shape were submitted to the shareholders of the Northern on the 12th of February, 1840, and to those of the Granton on the 21st of the same month, approved by bath, and authorised to be confirmed by the seals of the respective companies. A new and more formal agruemeet was accordingly framed, and signed and sealed on the 7th and Bth of October of the same year. 'these agreements, besides limiting the capital of the Oranton to the sum already men • tiooed, make various provisions with regard to the means of ass taining the expenditure and state of the works, which will fall afterwards to be more particularly noticed. The bill for the Amalgamation Act was framed by the solicitors for each of the companies, and passed in the last session. The act contains no special mention of the agreements, but it limits the capital of the Graviton to the sum agreed upon, and authorises shares to that amount to be issued to the Oranton shareholders. Power is Riven to both companies to barrow money to the amount of one-third of their capital, inclusive of the loans previously obtained under the acts relating to the several companies. The operation of the acts, however, declared to be wholly suspended until it is proved to the commissioners, and their certificates granted, that one-half of the capital Mock of the two companies has been paid up and expended. That certificate the directors have declined to make application for until the affairs of the Granton are made known and the agreement fulfilled, or such modifications of its terms obtained as, under the circum stances, may appear to be equitable. Offers of an amicable arrangement have been made by the directors, dealing liberally with the Oranton, but at the same time protecting their own shareholders against undue law or risk. Upon the passing of the act, the directors applied, on the 17th of July,to the C,..„ um ., „:.'-'.lhent of their es.;;_'-' exnenditurto. car and liabilities, which wan not, bower, r, otdeined till the of August. From that statement, and certain details after wards supplied, the directors entertained that the Wanton affairs, as stated by their directors, stood somewhat as fol lows Capital declared by act of 1846, and additional capital by that act, 258,0001. ; sum authorised to be borrowed, 88,0001.; total share capital and loans, 344,0001.

Encase of expenditure above the sum of 310,0001., fixed by the agreements, 95,0821. Os. 10d. -,_ but the Wanton possess certain extra property, estimated by them at 17,0001., and a claim against another compa n y , also estimated by them at 4,0001., making together 21,0001.; leaving still a sum of 74,0821. Os. 10d. above the stipulated coat of the undertaking. The item to meet additional out lay considered by the Northern to be yet requisite has been stated at 20,0001. Assuming the general accuracy , of that item, and before dealing with the question of liability for the excess of cost end mode of disposing of it, it will be observed that of the authorised capital fully 100,0001. remains to he paid up ;—bills and debts also to the amount of upwards of 95,000/. steed against the company. The liability of the Greaten for the excess of expen diture is undecided The di rectors of the Northern maintain that the railway and works were to he completed and handed over for a specific sum— that such is the only fair construction to be put upon the egreement. No subsequent negotiation nor new bargain was ever thought of, aid the Northern directors will not, until they have the distinct assurance, SUMAC that it is intended wholly to set aside the existing aereement. Under the 6th, Bth, 9th, and 10th heads of this agreement, tit is pro vided that the affairs of the Gunton should continuo to be managed and directed by the Wanton board alone, hut that there should also be a joint committee consisting of a limited number of directors of the two boards, whose duty it would be to decide upon and give instructions in matters of a general kind affecting th. it joint interests. This committee frequently met, and the line being then unopened and in a very imperfect state, it became incum bent upon the committee to advise and give directions fur the execution of weeks, which seemed absolutely necessary,l hut the direction of the affairs remained with the Wanton &rectors alone as before. With regard to works, the exe cution of which was so directed, the Northern Directors approve, and, so far as they gas, admit them as suitable, and agree further, that if it can be shown that such works are beyond the requirements of the line, as a separate and distinct undertaking (which, however, they cannot see), and that a corresponding excess of expenditure hat, in consequence, been incurred, the Northern Directors will re commend that camas to be borne by the amalgamated com pany. On the other hand, the Wanton Directors, it is understood, now maintain that they are liable for no part of expenditure so incurred, and that, by the exercise of the duties of the joint committee, the habil" y rests with the amalgamated company. In this view the Noonlii rn Directors could not acquiesce, but it appeared to the m that the plain course was to apply the provisions in the Agreement, and have it to the re feree to inspect the works and decide the point of difference. This course, reasonable and proper, however, as it appeared to them to be, slid not meet with he concurrence of the Grantee directors. The works so ordered appeared to those members of the Northern direction who formed part of the joint-committee to be indiepcnsable, I and some cat them were stared to be even to mastery previous to a temporary opening of the line. The directors now coins to the steps they have taken to adjust 'dr he differences with regard to the excess of expoonditme, and the disposal, in the meantime, of the debts ; and upon this] part of the report they wilt bo brief. By the first proposal tendered by the Northern directors they agreed to recom mend that the undertaking should be taken at the increased sun, of 360,0001., in place of 310,0001., awl that any fur ther sum, toot exceeding '20,000/ , require . ' to complete the line and works should lie borne by the Ur moon, no debts, however, being to he paid nut of the so sums which had not been set down in the statement furnished by the Orsnton di rectors. Or, if preferred, that the whole questions and differ ences, both with regard to the disposal of the extra expendi ture, and state of the line, should he submitted to the ar Iters named in the agreement. Theses alternative pro posals were declined by the Wanton directors, and counter proposals mode, which could not be acceded to, and for I, reasons which a cursory glance will make apparent. In the first place, they left every question unsettled, and the immediate amalgamation being insisted on, through the operation of the act, all adjustment of the questions at' issue might thereby have been entirely precluded, and the Northern brought at least into protest liability for an amount of debt whims they could not meet without incon venience—and, in the second place, the disposal of the excess WAS made dependent upon what might hereafter be tower tained to be the expenditure of the Northern, which was no part of the agreement. With regard to the latter point, it is contended by the Greaten directors. that the Northern are we much bound as the former to finish their own under taking for a specific RUM, end it is said that the Granton di rectors are fortified in that opinion by counsel whom they have consulted. Without entering upon the discussion of this question, or the inquiry whether or not the Northern capital had been exceeded, the directors tnke the position that they are not now called upon, as assumed en the opinion above mentioned, to set aside entirely the agree ments, and take their stand under the Amalgamation Act ; and that seems to them to be a sufficient reply, in the mean time, to the legal opinion. obtained on the ether aide. It is proper to point eat a modification which the Northern direc tors made upoh their first proposal, namely, that in case there should be disagreement as to the necessity of any work to be paid out ef the 20,0001. to be borne by the Gratiton, the opinion of Mr. J. Leslie, civil engineer, would be taken and followed ; and further, that the Granton would be entitled to draw and apply towards payments so mettle the proceeds es] their claim against another company. The proposals previous's , made fir a settlement have been explained, that the 'erms now recommended may be fully . understood, and that the shareholders may see their reel position, and what arrangements they may expect. A sum of 30,0001. will be added to the sum in the agreement, and, with regard to further expenditure, the directors may anti cipate a fair disposal of it, through the decision of the re feree; the outstanding debts snot obligati onto being also in the mean time placed on such a footing at will it is hoped pre we'd inconvenience to the company. The directors, in con clusioe, would embrace the present opportunity of 'eying a new words with regard to their own underteking. On the 20th of September last nearly thirty milts were opened for passenger traffic, and en additionel mile and a half within the last fortnight, embracing nearly the whole of that part of the line authorised in 1845—the l'erth arm of it, then sanctiene d, having been changed in the subsequent session, when the acts for the e xtensions towards Dundee and to Dunfermline were likewi'e obtained. Considering that the portion of line °pooled has not reached any one of its northern and western termini—namely, Dundee, Perth, and Dunfermline, and that these are reached only by many miles of coaching—that the season of the ye ar is nearly the wont—and that neither goods nor mineral traffic has been commenced, nor can bee fficiently until the entire complo time of the line, the directors have great reason to he satisti,d with the result of the trains- which, with the Bursitisland Ferry, has averaged 6001. weealy, being already nearly equal to the parliamentary estimate of that branch of traffic on the portion of line now opened. But the complo tion ef the line towards Dundee and Perth is of the first consequence, and so essential to the fair develop ment of its resource s, that the directors must press upon the share holders the necessity of their being supported by funds; requisite to carry on the remaining works. Their expendi ture is now carefully confined to such works as teem &bee lute!y me...fiery. ho much cf the Dun'ereu'ine li le is now being proceeded with as will give a single line to the coal fields, and that is now all but attained. The present state of the works on the Perth and Dundee extensions enables the directors to say that these may be opened throughout early in spring, provided they are supplied with a sufficiency of funds; and under such circumstances, discouraging a , the times are, the directors feel that the interests of the share holders demand that the requisite (mode be raised in order that the works eshential to the development of the traffic be carried forward to completion. The Chairman was glad to announce tteit the proposal of arbitration hail been acceded to. lie alluded to the point of difficulty between the wo companies —viz., the excess of yi p nditure of 70,0001. beyond the terms of the original agree ment, for which the Granton directors bad stood cut. The Edinburgh and Northern directors hail consent(d to add 30,0001. to the sum originally agreed upon, and to submit all further claim to arbitration. The draft minute of re ference would he forthwith drawn up in proper legal form. 41e moved that the report be adopted ; that the directors he empowers' to enter into an agreement %Joh the Edin burgh and firemen, &c., euhject to the reference.—Mr. H. Todd thought the draft reference very imperfect and liable to great objections, and might give use to questions. He moil the director' had not taken legal advice in the matter. He would consent to the motion if there was added to it a provision that, " before concluding the proposed minutes of reference the directoes are advised by counsel, on a statement of the facts prepared by one of themselves, that the entry in the minute will not involve any further burdens en the company than those proposed in the report."—Mr. J. Aytoun, advocate, objected to the question being made matter of arbitration on such a reference. The arbiter might decide that the 40,0001. expended over and above the 330,0001. should become a regular dept upon the Grantee), and that the whole surplus of expenditure expected to arise on the Northern, over their captml of 1,085,0001., she uld be a debt exclusively on the Northern, instead of the amiel garnated company. Ile proposed, that as the draft minute of reference was unsatisfactory, it was not expedient to agree to it without first obtaining the highest legal opinion thereon.—Mr. M. M. Crichton seconded Mr. Aytoun's mo tion.—Prof. Aytoun, at some length, supported the motion to adjourn_, in order to obtain a II gal opinion . — Mr. E. Ellice, M.P., one of the directors, Pal that when it became known to the directors, while in London, that an excess of expenditure above the stipulated sum had taken place in the Granten line, and seeing the Grantee directors insisted oil their claim according to their interpretation of the act, their posi tion was either to give up the amalgamation altogether, or to give assurance to the Oranten board that they should recom mend to their shareholders to amalgamate at a larger cum, to an extent which was, at the utmost, contemplated at from 20,0001. to 30,000/. additional, Ile considered the amalga- mation with the Greaten as an object to the Northern, and the directors hada right to presume the shareholders thought so too, and while they se ere dealing in hundreds of thou sands of pounds, it would have been improper to have refused in such circumstances twenty or thirty thousand. Beyond this 30,0001. there was an excess of 40,0001. more.—Mr. J. Kinnear, W.S., thought it would have been only prudent to have taken the advice of the highest parties at the bar before agreeing to such a reference.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. PRODUCE —MINCING•LANE, DEC. 31.—The colonial market is closed, but will re-open on Tuesday next.—Cotton continues steady, and there is manifestly an improving opi nion graduslly gaining strength as regards this article. — Tallow steady at 455. 6d. on the spot—Tea firm.—ln other articles no alteration. Next week is locked forwardforard to with some inters at, to give fresh quotations new year, but present appearances do not warrant any anticipation of busk markets.—Coffte : Tkis article has, like mast others, been affected by the adverse state of monetary affairs, end a anions decline has taken place in prices during the year, say ss. to 12s. per cwt. Ceylon now furnishes the chief supply of British Plantation, and in a great measure re gulates prices: the importation front this island annually increases : the year 1847 shows au excess of about 35,000 bags upon 1846, and 70,000 upon 1844 ; the quality, how ever, improves, and a large portion consists of what ix called plantation kind, a name founded upon its having the ap pearance of Jamaica the common description is called native good ordinary, and used, in speculative times, to be termed the consols of the market, and is still generally quoted, u about halt of the importation consists of native, the qualities of which do not vary more than the present quotation, 325. 345.; last year at t his time it stood at 37 5. to 39e. Foreign coffee pays a duty of 2.1. per lb. more than British Plantation (4d. and 6.1. per lb.), hut a considerable quaatity of foreign is used. Last year (1846) the propos tions stood thus : British Planta tion, 23.900.000 lbs.; toreign, 13,000,000 lbs.; total, 36,800,0001 U. The proportion of foreign used this year will be considerably less, as t . e prices of &Welt plantation have been relatively much lower. The total consumption of the ton years will be about equal. The importation of coffee into the Uui ed Kingdom will prove to be about the same as last year, and the aggregate stock of all kinds con sequently remains the same as at the close of 1846. SUGAR. —The Average Price of Sugar, the produce of the British pones.ions in America. computed from the retinas matte in the week ending the 28th day of December, 1847, is 225. Sid. per cwt. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, is 225. 101 d. per cwt. Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, is 20s. 11.1. per cwt.

WORSTED STUFFS.—Baanroun, Dec. 30.—This being the 1. at market lay of the year, it may almost he aid that there was no market. The attendance of merchants was limited, and their puretases of both goods and yarns were few and unimportant in point of extent. The wool market was also very dull, and there was no quotable change of prices BLANK ETS.-11scamoetswixe.
