WI ere s. HUM—This case came before the court upon appee 1 from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Brut e. From the statements of counsel, it appeared that the bill was filed by Mr. Alaric Watts, who is a literary gentle mar 1, against Mr. Hyde, who is a solicitor, under the fel Lowing circumstances :—Mr. Watts having been engaged f". several years in the publication and preparation of •arious expensive literary works, became greatly embar r mei, and, at the latter end of 1841 , those embarrass /ments had become so great, that Mr. Watts was in prison for debt. The defendant, Mr. Hyde, who had been Mr. Watta's solicitor for some years, advised him to make some arrangement with his creditors ; that arrange ment was, that Mr. Watts should execute a deed of composition, by which, in the course of three years, a sum of 1,500/. should be divided among his creditors. This arrangement was carried into effect, and accepted by all the creditors in full of all demands. In order to ensure the payment of the 1,5001., it was provided that Mr. Watts should insure his lite for that amount, and the policy of insurance was to b 2 deposited in the hands of the trustees of the deed of composition. The defendant, Mr. Hyde, in 1812, executed the deed of composition, as did also several of the other creditors. la the year 1843, a quarrel having taken place between the plaintiff and defendant, the latter delivered to Mr. Watts his bill of costs, and brought an action against him, for the purpose of recovering the amount. In answer to that action, the deed of composition was pleaded as a release, but that plea was considered as of no avail, on the ground that the covenants in the deed of composition had not been complied with, inasmuch as the plaintiff, Mr. Watts, had not kept up the insurance on bis life. The bill was then filed, praying an account of all the transactions that had taken place between the plaintiff and defendant, and also an injunction to restrain the defendant, Hyde, from proceeding with his action. The injunc tion was granted upon the terms of the plaintiff paying into court the sum the master of the Court of Exchequer had found due to the defendant, upon the taxation of his costs. The suit then proceeded to a hearing, and upon its coming on before the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, he gave it as his opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to consider the deed of composition as a release; but in consequence of some suggestions with respect to the con struction of the bill, a special order was made by the court below giving liberty to the plaintiff to amend it; that bill was amended, and answers put in to the amended bill.—Mr. Anderdon submitted, on behalf of the appellant, that the order to amend was against all authority and practice of the court. —Mr. Bacon supported the course pursued by the court below, and cited in favour of the proposition that the court had power, at the hearing, to order the bill to be amended, a case that occurred in the House of Lords, in 1720.—The Lord Chancellor thought the subject ao important, that it was desirable that all authority upon it should be brought before the court, and for that purpose his lordship ordered the case to stand over to this day week. Before ylec-Chancellor Wigrant. BLailt v. BROMLEY.—LIABILITT FOR TR! FRAUD OF A PARTNER.—This was a bill filed by William and Thomas Blair, the executors of the late Thomas Blair, against Joseph Warner Bromley, who was a partner with , his brother, William Bromley, of Gray's Inn, for the per 1 pose of compelling the defendant to refund a sum of 4,5001. , remitted by the plaintiffs, as such executors, to the firm of the Messrs. Bromley, to be invested in mortga ge, but which the plaintiffs alleged to have been fraudulently misapplied by William Bromley. It was stated by the hill, that the defend ant and his brother carried on the business of solicitors in partnership up to the year 1834, and employed as their bankers Messrs. Rogers and Co.; that the deceased, Thomas Blair, had on various occasions communicated with the firm respecting his affairs, but usually corresponded with William Bromley, with whom he was on terms of intimacy ; that the said Thomas Blair had requested William Bromley to invest the sum of 4,3001. upon mortgage, which sum was sent up to W. Bromley by a cheque signed by Mr. Thomas Blair, dated Oct. 2, 1829, and drawn upon the Bank of England, but dated London. This check was paid into the bank ofMessrs. Rogers to the account of the joint partnership of Messrs. Bromley. It appeared that this sum of money was never in fact advanced upon mortgage, but the Messrs. Bromley paid interest upon the amount from year to year until 1841, at which period a suit was instituted for the administration of the estate of Thomas Blair, and in 1844 it was discovered that William Bromley had appropriated the money to his own use, and the object of the executors now was to compel his partner, the present defendant, to repay the snooty. In the course of - the arguments this day a question arose of some importance. The cheque for the sum of 4,5001., whichwu sent up to the Messrs. Bromley, was signed by Mr. Thomas Blair on the 29th of September at Ilfracombe, but dated London, the 2nd of October. This was objected to as not being good eel& nee, on the ground that the Stamp Act required every cheque not drawn within fifteen miles of the branch at which it was tobe paid to have a stamp upon it. The act also imposed a penalty on cheques which should be postdated. It was argued in favour of the admissibility of the cheque that it was perfectly right to date it from Lon don, as that was the place at which it was intended to be issued, and that although it might have been drawn three days before it was to be paid, still, as it was forwarded to the agents in town to be by them presented to the banker, the cheque had not in fact left the custody of the drawer till the day on which it was to be issued. His Honour reserved his judgment upon this point, and the arguments on behalf of the plaintiff were continued until the rising of the court. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco. THE QUEEN 0. THE CoMMISSIONERS OP STAMPS AND TAIES.—AMOUNT OF PRORATE DUTY AFTER PATURNT OF Deers.—A mandamus was some time since granted, directed to the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes, commanding them to repay to the executors of Lord Wallace the sum of 651., which they alleged was an excess of probate duty paid upon the effects of the deceased on two probates, one granted in the province of Canterbury, and the other in the province of York. The executors, on obtaining the probates, had sworn that the assets in the province of Canterbury were under 45,0001., and the duty payable upon that sum would be 6601. In the province of York they had sworn that the assets in that provinee were under 6,0001. ; the duty payable en that sum would he 1401. The total amount of the suets in the two provinces as sworn was under 53,00 W., and upon that entire sum the duty would be 7401. The precise amount of the assets in the province of Canterbury was 43,371/. 3s. 6d., and in the province of York it was 7,5691. 18s. 24., so that the real amount of assets taken toge ther amounted to 50,0471. Se. 81. The deceased's debts within the province of Canterbury were supposed to be 2,2891. 15X., and those within the prevince of York were supposed to be 3991. lla. 10d. These put together amounted to the sum of 2,6891. fir. 10d.. and this um being deducted from the total amount of the assets, left the latter 48,2671. 14a. 10d. The executors contended that they bad a right to deduct Mee gross amount of the debts from the gross amount of the assets, and then they would have to receive back the sum of 651.. as the amount of the assets would be reduced from 60,9471. 6...fit1. to 48,2671.145. 10d. To this mandamus the defendants bad made a return raising the question whether the debts were to be taken from the gross amount of MMUS, or whether the debts in each province were to be deducted bun the assets in each province. Mr. Watson appeared for the exeeutors, and Sir F. Then ger (with whom were the Attorney-Cieneral, the Solicitor- General, end Mr.Crompton) argued the ease for the commis dossers, contending that the debts in each pit:nines mast be deducted from the amen in each province. The case had come before the court upon a demurrer to the return. Their lorlsbips, in delivering judgment, were not prepared to say that the commissioners cony./ ham devised any more equitable mode than that which they contended for. The executors were bound to take out two probates, and they had not satisfied the Court that they could have beentaken out for a blossom. The Court was et liberty to look to thenia ndatory pert of the writ, and if that commanded the commissioners to do that whielt by law they were not bound to do, then they were mot based to act upon it—Judgment for the datcodatila.

These were the strict facts of the case ; it was ascer tained there had been a fearful accident. A coroner's jury was held, a verdict of " Manslaughter " returned, and the ts defendan com mitted to Warwick gaol to take their trial. They both meet positively swore that they had not the least idea of their gig even touching that of the deceased s. As no cause was shown against the rule, he trusted the court would make it absolute. Mr. Justice Patten" having perused the depositions taken before the coroner, said the only evidence against the defendants was that they gave an alarm of the accident, and were supposed to be the last persons who saw the deceased alive. There was no direct evidence against them. His lordship then directed the defendants to be admitted to bail, themselves in 401., and two sureties of 201. each. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. SINIOR AND JUNIOR COVNBEL.—On the first day of the present term the Lord Chief Justice announced that it was the intention of the Court to allow the bar to move at the opening of the Court according to their standing at the bar, giving, however, setjeanu-etelaw having patents acted a prece dence over Queen's counsel. This rule has been upon throughout the term, but it is looked upon by the bar to be not only an inconvenient, but an invidious distinction. Ac cordingly, this morning, Mr. Serjeant Channell applied to the Comet to have the rule abrogated and the custom of "an through " the bar in rotation adopted in its stead.— The L o rd Chief Justice said the Court would consider the matter. Sittings in Banco. GILES V. TOOTIL—RIOHT OF • RAILWAY SURVEYOR TO SUE SEVERAL PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS FOR THE RE COVERY or OHS noir. This is one of eleven actions brought by the plaintiff against the provisional committee men of the Tunbridge and Rye Harbour Railway, and the legal point raised and discussed to-day was , whether the court, by the exercise of its summary jurisdiction, would compel the plaintiff to bring only one action, each of the defendants being held liable to the amount proved to be due ' (coin him individually upon the trial of that one action. — Mr. Bramwell, on behalf of the various defendants, imp ported the application. He said that the recent statute re lating to joint-stock companies had deprived defendants, against whom several actions were brought by one plaintiff, upon one contract, from pleading in abatement, unless they could undertake to state that all, their co-contractors were within the jurisdiction of the court. Now, the present defendants could not undertake to make that assertion; and, unless the court interfered by its equitable jurisdiction, great hardship and oppression would be inflicted upon the defendants. He could not, on their behalf, consent merely to consolidate the actions, making each defendant liable, accord ing to the result of the action, to the whole amount claimed against any other, but be begged the court to compel the plaintiff to bring only one action, and allow each defeudant to be held liable to the amount proved against him, apart from the others.—Mr. Serjeant Channell opposed the application. —The Court said that they must discharge the rule in thiacase. It vru true that the recent statute put some difficulties in the way of defendant pleading in abatement; but because the law put a hardship upon one of the parties, that was no rea son why the court should take it off his shoulders and put it upon the shoulders of the other party. If the present appli cation were granted, a great hardship would be inflicted upon the plaintiff ; fur he would be deprived of a remedy which the law gave him. Such a remedy the court would not take from him, unless he were shown to be guilty of some oppression against the other parties. This was not proved in the pre sent case, and there would be endless practical difficulties if the court attempted to tamper with the record, which would be necessary if the present application were granted.—Rule discharged.—The court rose at two o'clock to sit in the Luer Chamber. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. Before the Fifteen Judges. CROWN CASES RESERVED.—BEOINA V. WELSH.— GUARDIANS OP POOR.—TREASCRER.—This case came be fore their Lordships, on a report of Mr. Justice Coleridge, before whom the prisoner was tried and convicted at the last Warwick assizes, on an indictment charging him with em bezzling various sums as the servant of the guardians of the poor of the parish of Birmingham. It appeared during the trial that the prisoner had been appointed to the office of treasurer, by writing in a book under the provisions of a local act; but the counsel for the prisoner objected to the reception of that book, for want of a stamp, and that ob jection being allowed, the learned Judge held, that as the prisoner had admitted himself to be the treasurer in the condition of the bond which he had given, there was enough proof of the fact that he was the treasurer; and he farther ruled, that the duties of that office might be gathered by him and the jury from the clauses of the statute, of which he was bound to take judicial notice. To this an objection was made, but that also being overruled, the jury found the prisoner guilty, and the points raised at the trial having been reserved, Mr. Gale now appeared in support thereof. Ile contended that the best evidence ought to have been given of the nature of the prisoner's duty and office, which could only be done by the inspection of the book ; and, in the next place, he argued that so much of the duty as was to be gathered from the statute, and the course of business, showed that the prisoner could not be held to have been guilty of tmbesslement, which was a peculiar kind of larceny, and was limited to the breach of the duty to pay over to particular parties some par ticular sum. On the contrary, the duty of the prisoner here MY to settle balances with all the unions in England, some times paying, and sometimes receiving; and the question was, whether under such circumstances, with such compli cated accounts, a treasurer could be indicted for embeasle meat who had omitted to make entries of all the sums re ceived by him.—Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., for the prosecution, was stopped by Lord Denman, who said, that if the court deemed it necessary . to do so, they would call on him for a reply to these points on a future day. Judgment was accordingly postponed. REGINA V. Y OUNG. —POST-OFFICE LETTER. —FICTI TIOUS ADDRESS. The prisoner in this case was in dicted and convicted at the Old Bailey for stealing a " post-office letter," the property of the Postmas ter-General. It appeared that the letter in question was a fictitious one, addressed to some non-existing party, and put into the post with the view of detecting the prisoner. Mr. Ballantine now contended for the prisoner that he could not be convicted of stealing a " post-office letter " under the act on which the indictment was framed, unless the letter was a genuine one, and one which was intended for transmission. The learned counsel, however, was stopped by the court, all the members of which intimated that beyond all question the prisoner was convicted.—Conviction affirmed. properly COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commissioner lloiroyd. Srarausiox art CERTIFICATE. — Evan» and Co. auc tioneers, applied for certificates a short time since, and this day was fixed for his Honour to deliver judgment. Mr. Evans, nen. said that he wished to say a few words. He was borne down with infirmities and afflictions, being very advanced in years, and totally blind. With respect to his son who was dead, against whom serious allegations had 1 been made by the skilful Mr. Duncan, the Lanett r, he de clared to his God that a more domestic man never existed. He never would leave his business even to dine with all the family on the Christmas. No creditor had obtained any preference over another. There were no railway transac tions • there were no accommodation bills, and the family had been afflicted. Mr. Duncan.—On behalf of the noblemen for whom .1 appear, I am instructed to recommend every lenity to the bankrupts, especially the elder one. The bankrupt returned thanks, and His Honour, in delivering judgment, said, the bankrupts were the well-known book auctioneers, first in Pall Mall, afterwards in Bond-street. Robert Harding Evans, the father of the other bankrupt (Charles Evans), previous to 1840, carried on business on his sole account. In that year he became bankrupt, and having obtained his certificate, he commenced trade again, and formed a partaership with his two sons, Thomas - Evans and Charles Evans. It appears that Thomas Evans managed all the cash transactions, and made and received all payments; and Charles Evans at tended to the lotting and selling department. ' Thomas Evans died a few months before the issuing of the fiat, and then, for the first time it would seem, Charles Evans looked to the state of the concern; and in July last Robert H. Evans, and his son Charles, issued a fiat spinet themselves. The bankrupt commenced business in 1840, apparently without any capital, but in 1843 Thomas Evans borrowed and paid into the concern 2,6001. During the six years' trading the profits, exclusive of a sum of 1,1151. received from the trustees of the Carlton club, as compensation for removing from Pall-Mall, amount to 6,7781. During this period the trade expenses are 5,2741. ; amount drawn out by R, H. Evans, 2,4411. ' • ditto by Charles ' Evans, 2,607/. • ditto by T. Evans, deceased, estimated at 3,1891. ; losses, 6,026/. ; creditors, 3,3111. ; creditors holding security, 1,5001. ; and assets, about 5501. The objections urged and substantiated are the excess of expenditure over profits, and that the bankrupts must have been for a long time living on the property of their creditors, and in viola tion of good faith they appropriated to their own use sums R money being the proceeds of libraries entrusted to them for salt. Although Thomas Evans may have been the most to blame, still the bankrupts having partaken of the pro perty of heir employers,. and having the full means of know ledge of the state of their affairs, must now answer for their tom:Pact as traders in having let their business be eo dis honestly conducted. With respect to the conduct of the elder Istakrupt, there are extenuating circumstances. It was Wiped that his blindness was an excuse for his conduct —that he ought to have employed some person to look to the account es between himself and eons. I think, however, that it would not tend to raise the standard of commercial morality if ihe court was to yield to this argument, and to expect that a father, suffering under such a calamity, should have felt it to be his duty to be inspector between himself and Doss. The court, therefore, adjudges that the certificate of Robert H. Evans be allowed. With respect to Charles Evans, he must be responsible for that winch he well knew or had full means of knowing. Having then duly considered all the circumstances of the case, and thinking that justice will be done by a somewhat less severe sentence than must have been awarded against Thomas Evans, the court still feels called upon to mark the conduct of the bankrupt (Charles Evans) as a trader by a suspension of his certificate for a considerable time. A violation of trust and confidence, where confidence was unavoidable, fraud committed which was easy of perpetration, and the difficulty and necessity . of preventing a repetition f the like offence, form the principal grounds of the judgment of the f the certificate of the 1 R'sIUSAL To BUILD A But . nos —On Saurday the Croy 'es Bt'ans be suspended for three years from Railway f 5' Company were summoned by t es farmer named bankrupt t C Bristow, under one of the clauses of their act of parliame.nt, 1 se lamination. ceurt, which is, that the is".liwarice o t he de ' id ( Pusitg the e the before the presiding magistrate at the Town-Hall, Creydon, to thew cause why they neglected or refused to build abridge Which his Honour deferred deciding. was then heard upon ores ..on of costs, over their extension line to Epoom upon the property of the eom plainant,which was owned by the railway.

While in the house, they gave the most intolerable annoyance to the really necessitous and deserving, whom it was a pity to see amongst them. — The Lord Mayor: I shall send each of you to Bridewell for fourteen days, with hard labour and low diet.—The wretched creatures then left the justice-room screaming, and cursing, and swearing.—Several of the police serjeants re presented to his lordship that they and their men had the greatest difficulty in protecting the neighbourhood of the Union from the outrageous violence of the crowds of girls whose peculiar delight was in window breaking, sad throw ing mud in the faces of the relieving overseers. The moment a policeman attempted to take one of them into custody, the crowd of lookers on hooted and yelled at them, so that their duties became quite irksome, and, in some instances, impos sible to be performed.—The Lord Mayor desired the police man to watch the conduct of such inciters to acts of violence and insubordination, and bring them before him, and he would endeavour to proportion the punishment to the offence. SOUTHWARK.—A FEARFUL CASE.—A journeyman carpenter, named William IValerhoure, was charged with attempting to cut his wife's throat. Complainant, whose face was much disfigured, said that she had been married to the prisoner twenty-one years, and until within these last six months he was a good father to his children, and an affectionate husband. He was a journeyman carpenter, in conatait employ at thirty shillings a week. Latterly he bad taken to drinking, and allowed her only four shillings I a week to maintain herself and two children, the remainder being spent in drink, and with another female. For a length of time they had been nearly starved for want of the emir mon necessaries of life, and she was afraid to make her waist known, owing to the prisoner's violence. Oa the previous night he came home and demanded some supper, when he well knew that she had not the means of purchasing food. She told him so, when he turned round upon her, and knocked her down, and, while in that helpless situation, took a clasp-knife from his pocket, opened the blade, and flourished it over her head, exclaiming that be now intended to settle her by cutting her throat. At the same time he seized her by the arms, and endeavoured to plunge the blade into her neck ; but she prevented him, in her struggles receiving several wounds on her hands. Her daughter, hearing her cries fur help, got out of the house, and called in the neighbours, who wrested the murderous weapon from his grasp. The police were soon on the spot, and took the prisoner into custody.—The eldest daughter, a very intelligent young girl, said that her father had frequently said he would murder her mother and all of them. He behaved very ill to her mother, and starved them. lie did say that if he could not get rid of them, he would starve them. She had no doubt her father would have murdered her. Mr. Seeker asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge?—lie replied that be did not intend to injure either his wife or children. He had been latterly out of employ ment, and not able to allow them sufficient money to keep them properly, and his goods had been pledged for neces saries. On the previous night he was much intoxicated, and not aware what lie was doing.—The wife here stepped for ward, and implored the magistrate not to punish her hus band. She was sure that for the future he would act better. —Mr. Seeker said that he could not listen to her interces sion, as men like the prisoner could not be depended upon. He should order him to find bail in 1001. for his good beha viour for 12 months, and be imprisoned until such security be found.—He was accordingly sent to prison. LAM BET I I.—A ROMANCE.—On Saturday evening, as the business of this court was nearly disposed of, Maria Rosina Cook, a young woman dressed in th e garb of a sailor, was i brought n and placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Nor ton, on a charge of attempting to destroy herself by swallow ing a quantity of laudanum. John Constable, 43 L, deposed that about 10 o'clock on that day, while on duty at the Tower-street station-house, a person came in and requested his immediate attendance at a coffee-house in the Waterloo road, where a young sailor had poisoned himself. He in stantly proceeded to the house, and, finding the prisoner in a sleepy state, he went in pursuit of a medical man. The first shop he went into he was asked if it was not a young sailor who had destroyed himself, and on asking them why they should know the fact, they told him that a young sailor had been there a short time before to request three-pennyworth of laudanum, but they refused to serve him. He subsequently removed the prisoner to Guy's hospital, when the stomach pump was used, and she became sufficiently recovered to take her to the station-house, when he had the charge booked against her. From the statement she had made to him (the constable), it appeared that she was the daughter of a respec table veterinary surgeon residing at Clutton, Somersetshire, and having become enamoured of a private soldier belonging to the 37th Regiment of Foot, she had left her home, and had latterly lived at Chatham, where her lover was quar tered. The regiment had latterly been ordered on foreign service, and was on the point of sailing for Ceylon, and the prisoner, discovering that the object sof her affections was to proceed thither by the ship Minerva, lying in the East India Dock, she sold her female apparel, at a great sacrifice, and purchased the sailor's clothes she then had on. She thin went to the registry for seamen, and procured a registry note in the name of David Cook. She next went on board the Minerva and offered herself to the captain as a cabin-boy, but to her great mortification found that the captain had shipped all hands on board, and therefore did not require her services. Foiled in her object in accompanying her lover, she had resolved upon comrniting suicide, and her first intention was to have thrown herself off one of the bridges ; this she should have done, she said, had she not been told by a sailor-boy that she brought with her from Chatham, that the Thames was so excessively crowded with craft that the probabilities were that she would drop on to one of them, break her bones, and die a lingering death. She then made up her mind to take poison, and procured a small quantity of poison at different shops, all of which she swallowed off with some coffee, before the constable found her. The wit ness here handed to the bench a letter, which Mr Norton read, and of which the following is a copy : " Dear Thomas—l have overstepped the bounds of prudence and modesty in hopes of being able to reach Oeylon with you. I have put on boy's apparel and come to this sink of inMuity, London, to enter the “Nlinerva' as a boy, but when I got here the captain had shipped all his hands. I have tried to get on board several vessels, but cannot, on account of not being able to find money enough to provide enough of clothes to get to sea. I have sold all my own to get what I have on, and have no money to set other I have no iriends here, no place to go to; but I cannot blame anybody but myself. Think of me no more, Thomas, as it is useless : you will never see nor hear from me again. Remember me to Harriett and Charles. Don't make yourself uneasy about me. I have no more to say, but remain yours till death, " M. B. Coos. London, Nov. 14, 1546. ' Charles White said he was in a coffee-house in Waterloo rota that afternoon, and perceiving a strong smell of lau danum, he looked about to see if any person was taking any. Immediately after he saw the prisoner with her hand on the table and in a drowsy state. He shook her up and asked her if she had taken anything, and she n plied that she had swallowed poison. He then scut for the constable, and the prisoner was removed to Guy's Hospital.—Mr. Nor ton here remarked that he was not aware that the lau danum would have so instantaneous an effect upon a person taking it, and a medical gentleman present replied that it would not, particularly when taken in coffee.—The constable said that the prisoner had acknowledged to him that when she had taken the laudanum she was so exhausted for want of rest, that she was scarcely able to hold her head up. The fact, she said, was that she was so much alarmed about her sex being discovered, that from the time she had put on her present ap parel till the present, she had not taken them off. On the Friday night she engaged a bed for herself and the sailor boy that was with her at the coffeesshop t and rather than take her clothes off, and go to bed, she sat in a chair all night.—ln reply to the questions of .Ir. Norton, she said she had seen the soldier, Thomas Gardner, three years ago, when he was with a recruiting party at Bristol; l,at she had not left her home until six months ago, when she learned that he was in Newport, in Wales ; and from there she had accompanied him to Chatham. She declared that it had been her fixed intention to destroy herself, and was very sorry that she should have been prevented; and added, that it was im possible to endure greater torture than that which she had experienced for the last three days.—The prisoner, who is in her 20th year, must have been , a very pretty girl, and who became the ;sailor's dress exceedingly well, was ultimately remanded to a future day, to give time to communicate with her friends. CROYDON.—JVTENILE TRIETEB.—On Saturday three lads named Brooker, Martin, and Only, were brought before Mr. Adams and Capt. Kemmis, charged with stealing up wards of 3 cwt. of boles and other iron work, the property of the London and Brighton Railway Company. A man named Clark, who keeps a marine - store -shop at Norwood, was also summoned to attend the bench to explain his share in the transaction. The prisoners in their defence said,that they took the bolts at different times from a heap, and when they went to Clark's shop with the first lot, he lent them a bagto bring sonic more, which Clark did not deny. The boys were then committed far trial, the magistrates at the same time observ ing that the conduct of Clark had been very disgraceful, and that there was very little doubt he had been the means pf inciting them to commit the robbery. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY ISTRNING. The state of affairs in Portugal, which it is feared may lead to political complications in which eventually this country might come to be more involved with Spain and France, had some effect on the funds to-day. Consols, ' which were 941 buyers in the morning, declined in conse quence to 94i, and left off 94j to 4, both for money and account. Reduced Threes, 931 to Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 954 to I. Exebequer bills, 10s. to 13s. prem. India bonds, 18s. to 245. prem. Long Annuities 9/ to 15-16. The transactions in the foreign market continue on the same limited scale. Some few bargains were done in Por tuguese between 37 and 38 ; but the prices made at the close of business were 36 to 38. Spanish Fives, 26 to 4; the Threes, 37 to Mexican, 22 to 1. The jobbers, it seems, cannot clearly comprehend with whom the Mexican agency rests at present, and wait fur the appearance of Colonel Men doza, the newly appointed Mexican Charge d'Affaires, to have the point determined. Dutch Two-and-a-Ralf per Cents were 59 to 4; the Fours, 911 to 21. The Bank of England averages for the week ending the 7th inst. give, as compared with those of the week prece ding, the following results : Circulation—]sane £28,235,885 Circulation—Active 20,971,263 Public deposits Other deposits Government sccuritiesin Banking Department.. 12,808,119 Other securities 12,153,009 » ass 22.959 Gold coin and bullion 7 day and other bills The Rest 3,468,352 As was anticipated under this head last week might be the case, the outflow of coin and bullion was sensibly on the decline at the date of these returns. Should no disturbance ensue in foreign exchange beyond the rates as actually reduced, and assuming that the home demand fur extra ordinary purposes is satisfied, which it probably is, no sensible variations in the Bank stock of hard money would seem likely to be experienced before the close of the year, when possibly the general balancing of accounts throughout the country may require some extra supply for the adjust. ment of fractional quantities. As in many of the agricultural districts the custom has gained, and is considerately tolerated by the more extensive and substantial landholders, of defer ring the payment of rents due at Martinmas until close upon the advent of Christmas, it is possible that some call for coin may take place on that head. But, in the meantime, some portion of the large amount already distributed from its coften may return in the natural order of money and commercial dealing into the Bank. Should country banks become possessed of quantities of coin beyond the average demands upon them, they will remit the surplus to cover their credits or engagements with their London banking correspondents. From these town banks accumu lating surplus will be naturally transferred to the Bank, placed to deposit account, or exchanged a"ainst notes. Although the rates of interest have undergone no decisive variation during the week, yet money has not been, and is not, so easy. In the Bank, as cut of doors, the minimum rate can be said to apply in general only to short dated first class paper. It is probable, from this course of proceeding, that the Bank may be quietly " putting up" the rate of inte rest, in preparation for more ostensible action at the fitting season. For the last two or three weeks reports have been current, previous to each hoard day, of an intended alteration and elevation of the minimum rate. The expectation of an announcement to the effect was strong in the present work, but Thursday passed over without any sign. An advance in the minimum rate of interest would be much to be depri cated at the present time, or indeed at any time within the present year. It would greatly tend to the derangement of all business at the most critical season of the year, and unless compelled to it by some extraordinary emergency, such as a large sudden fall in foreign exchange, with a consequent drain of gold, the Bank could hardly be justified in adopting such a course. The decrease of active circulation was the necessary result of the hrge payments of notes into Bank, on revenue or government account, modified however by the contempo• 11 rancour withdrawal to more than half the amount of private 21 deposit*. (Merroastmen.—As the quotations of prices in the official lists which follow may seem at variance with those given above, it may be u well to explain that the official lists only quote the prices at which transactions have actually taken place, and at the fluctuations noted, each fluctuation describing a separate order of transactions. The Money Market, beside+ repres•eritmg the (mural course of the day's business, gives the buying and selling canoes—that is, the priors at which broken., jobbers, and speculators arc ready to buy or sell ;or 11 in the case of jobbers, to deal either one way or the other, at the option it of parties having business to do. j ENGLISH FUNDS.—Nov. 14. 3 per CL Reduced Anns., 931 / I India Stock Bonds, -Cl,OOO IS • 3 per Cent.Consols, Anns, oil 1 Ditto under 13,000, 24 11 New 31 per Cent.

East Indians showed a drooping tendency, but the indisposition to active business on the eve of the settlement, and moreover the last day of the week, left the quotations nominally the same. In Shrewsbury and Birmingham, there was some dealing, at a slight improvement of price. French shares were not sup ported so well. The accounts have not come so good from Paris, and it may be suspected that the show of business with the apparent improvement on Saturday was not founded upon any real demand, but calculated for action rather upon the Paris Bourse, where strong exertions have been lately making to fortify the market by some of the large capitalist directors of companies, in view of the heavy calls which have to be answered, and which, should the de predation of share values proceed at the same rate as for some time past, numbers of the holders may be incapable or indisposed to make good. Some of the heads of companies have become involved themselves by the continued depres sion of share property. A large operation was undertaken some three months since, as detailed at the time, for sup porting the tjien drooping state of prices, by some half-dozen directors of leading Paris companies. The modes operandi was to buy up the shares in the hands of weak holders, and lodge them in pledge with certain bankers, with whom arrangements were made for the purpose, as security for advances to the extent of ten millions of francs. The advance would be at a given rate per share of course, with the right reserved to the lenders of carrying the shares se lodged to market, in case of prices declining to or near the rate, and realii•ing the values loaned, unless the mortgagors should retire them on notice, or cover them by the deposit of addi tional securities, as the custom in such cases is here. The too frequent result of such a class of operations did not fail in the present instance. The shares continued to descend ; the limit of contract for holding was reached - the mortgagees could not redeem, because, in ad dition, calls for large amounts were banging over the scrip ; so the mortgagees carried the pledged property to market, where, as always occurs, it was sacrificed at any price that could be obtained. All railway values naturally felt the shock of such extensive transactions. There has been a slight reaction since, only to be succeeded by a correspond- ing depression. The calls in progress and impendi: h av e the effect of deterriag speculators from ;:ireLasing, whilst driving timew weak to kh n ol e d s e t ra se to pte sa ntb. le terms. From the present pwards of two hundred millions of frnmss. :7C to ise called up for existing railway lines altne in France, that is above eight millions sterling. The most important of these payments are : ter the Pans and Lyons line, 30 millions of francs next month, and 20 millions in June ; Paris and Strasburg, 124 millions in March ; Paris to the Belgian frontier (the Great Northern), 311. millions in January, and 20 mil lions in July. The gross amount for so great and wealthy a country could not be a cause of difficulty in ordinary times, but mining and industrial enterprises and companies have also been absorbing at the same time a vast amount of national joint stock capital. In the meantime manufactures are in a state of suffering; agriculture is disorganised by unfavourable harvests ; scarcity afflicts the land, and the means of the people are engaged in the purchase of neces sary food at high if not fsmine prices; whilst the onerous burdens of taxation remain unlightened, and a government expenditure is prodigally carried on at the rate of some fifteen or twenty millions sterling a year, ever in increase, beyond that budget of 1830 which was one main cause of a revolution that coat a throne. There was but a limited amount of business done at Liver. pool. Late " Liverpool and Ormskirks " closed easier, 41 pm. Huddersfield and Manchester, 51 pm. Thinks im proved to 11 to 11 die. Dudley" and Birmingham and Oxford were better than on Saturday. Wharfdales have im proved to par. The Manchester sharemarket was quiet and steady. A fair business was done, and higher prices paid is Leeds and Dewsbury, Liverpool and Ormskirks (d 4), and some other stocks. A great deal of business was transacted at Birming ham, and the market was more animated than for many months past. In the whole of the lines connected with the district prices were going up considerably. Stour Valleys commenced at 3 p., and closed at 4 p. ; the latest sales ;n Shrewsbury and Birmingham' were at 14 pm., but an hour after the Exchange had closed, there were no sellers at 11 pm. North Staffords were done at 31 pm., Trent Valley Midlands Registered at 1 pm., Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion at 61 pm., and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley at 6 pm. Shropshire Unions were done at Bs. 9d. dui., and Shrewsbuty,Wolverhamp!on and South Staffordshire at lls. 3d., and ultimately at Bs. 9d. dia. At Leeds, the sharemarket was not so active as on Friday, but nearly all the transactions which took place were at improved prices. East Lancashire advanced from 41 to 6 pm. Leeds and Thinks from 2/. dis. to 5/. dis. East Laneashires, No. 2, (late Liverpool and Ormskirks) from 51 to 61 pm. New Thinks from 17s. 6d. dis. to par, and Birmingham and Oxfords from 51. 4s. to 51. Huddersfield and Manchester were firm at 6 pm., whilst Leeds and Dewsbury closed at 151 per share. The Hull market of Friday exhibited no particular feature. Prices remained nearly unaltered and about the same air.ount of business was done as on Thursday. The Bristol market was flat, but as regarded prices pretty firm. The prices of provisions and of articles of genera consumption are evidently giving way in the West of England, and as it is believed the t this will have a tendency to counteract the tightness of the money market, holders especially of the better kinds of stock and scrip seem disin clined to submit to lower rates.

PROVINCIAL.-Wouxs IN THE VICINITY OF II'UD DREArno.G.-The various lines of railway in mamma in this neigh bourhood are piegreadng rapidly, although, in consequence of some of the works bring of such vast magnitude, a considerable time will yet Maroc before any of the lines will be opened for regular traffic. The viaduct at Lockwood. on the Iluildendield and Sheffield line, will be 143 feet above the level of the Moline, and about one-third of a mile long.
