The siding part merely declared the forged shares to be =Me ; but how did that prove which were the forged Mr. Lawrsace suggested that that was proved by the schedule. Hie Honour add there was no proof by whom the many was reeved; the set of parliament left that metier y where it was. It was • strong Infernos to rw isel trom the set that Podpith bad received all this wry for the Is of the company. The mut could not awe to this casclusion. Therefore ' either with or without the an of parliament the proof could not be sustained. It was mid that It wee not opposed, bet the court add net on that account allow it to be plead on the ilk if it had no right to be there. Wee this done any pety who could sathdy the creditors under say bankruptcy alight opens end sweep away the whole d the eats. It would be important before any tribunal to show that the boss fide creditors had bees paid in fell. They had given credit to the bankrupt on account of his fictitious appear lune of wealth, en appearance which he wee allowed to keep up by the company, who knew that he had a very meff salary, had been bankrupt before, and was yet living under their eyes like a noblemen. This ought to have excited peat suspicion. How be. It that at the audits these frauds were not disco They were not so ; he was allowed to go on keeping up this Sodas apperancs his employers look ing on and keeping beck while he did so. It wee only jut that the creditors, who had been the deceived, should be paid in full. The surplus of the estate, slier paying these debt. in full, in reality belonged to the ewe. Mr. Leweenee mid this was not so, ea Iteduth wee beak. ro.lf be fore he wee connoted. The rid efi Alt hcsoar's judgment,upheld, would be to bed over the mto ph, the bankrupt. His Honour wee of opinion that the property vested hi the crown from the time the felony was committed. It would then be for the crown to dispose of it, as it thought proper, by Treasury warrant. Should it turn out that this view was the correct one, the best course would be for the company, after the crown had made its claim, to t= s for the surplus to be handed over to . It was enough now for the court to sey that the proof could not be admitted, as the deposition did not show that the money had been had and received by the bankrupt for the use of the company. As the surplus in this case was oonsidemble-28,000!. it would be well that the Attorney-Gensal should be communicated with on the subject. In the meantime the dividend sitting would be adjourned.

The letters are expected to be delivered in London to-morrow morning. The same telegram states I the gold on board the steamer Tamar, which is expected to arrive at Southampton in a day or two from Alexandria, is as much as 131,000 ounces and 16,000 sovereigns, making a total of about 639,0001 The amount previously mentioned was 300,0001. Although the expected large arrivals of sucie are not yet to hand, gold continues to flow into the Bank in moderate quantities from day to day. The sum purchased by the Bank yesterday was about 11,0001., chiefly from France and Russia. It is hoped that sovereigns will soon begin to flow back more freely from the provinces, from Scotland and Ireland. In all quarters the popular effervescence occasioned by the bank suspensions has died away, and bankers will scarcely 130 disposed to keep their capital need lessly long in the unproductive shape of sovereigns. The great house of Sanderson, Sandeman, and Co., whose stoppage on the 11th rent occasioned so much consternation, and was the immediate pre cursor of the relaxation of the Bank Charter Act, have issued the following circular, convening a meeting of their creditors. The annexed statement of accounts, prepared by Meters. Tarquand,Yougs, and Co., shows an apparent surplus of about 106,0001., but the result of the liquidation must de pend solely upon the extent of the losses sustained in respect of bills held and bills re-discounted. The transactions of the firm were evidently conducted upon a scale of enormous magnitude : London, 8.C., Dec. 2, 1857.

In railroad bonds there has been more doing, and prices have generally improved. • TftOIISDAT EVIIXMO. The funds to-day experienced an extreme flutes tion of 1 1 per cent., and closed the same u yesterday. The general appearance of the Stock Exchange was tolerably steady. The Queen's Speech was looked for with interest, and excited even more than the usual disappointment, owing to the extreme vague- UM of the passages relating to commercial and financial matters. - _ . • Oet. Stew. At the Bank of England to-day there was again a brisk demand for money, partly in anticipation of to-morrow (the 4th). In the discount market con siderable caution is evinced, owing to the continued failures, but there is a large aapply of money avail able for employment in really good paper. In the Stock Exchange the current rate for short loans on government securities was 5 to 6 per cent. Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday 911 to for money and next Monday's settlement, opened this morning at 911 to 1, advanced to 911 to 1, relapsed to 914 to I, and closed at 911, "buyers."

Turkish Six per Cents. were again in good de mand this morning, and were marked as high as 921. Towards the close, however, some sales were pressed, and the latest quotation was 911 to 92, or per cent. below that of yesterday. Mexican Bonds have advanced, owing to the more favourable accounts lately received. Other foreign securities exhibited steadiness. East Indian railway stock advanced this morning, but afterwards relapsed to the closing quotations at yesterday, the paragraph in the Queen's speech re- lative to the proposed measures for altering the system of administration in India being regarded as very meagre. In the railway share market to-day there was an improvement in Midland and Great Northern, and a fall in London and North Western stock, accom panied by a rumour that an alliance between the two former companies is not improbable. Bank shares today wen steady, at the improved rates lately established. London and Westminster Bank shares have risen to 46 to 47. London and County Bank were last quoted 28 to 29; London Joint Stock, 28 to 29 ; Union Bank of London, 234 to 241 ; and Oriental Bank, 331 to 344 ex div.
