The money was to have been paid in advance, but defendant made various excuses, and, at the expiration of 12 months, for which the adver tisements were ordered, as defendant did not pay, it be came necessary to bring the present action. A question arose as to the liability of the defendant to plaintiff, and it wu contended that he wee a mere agent, and could not maintain the action in hie own right. Messrs.

The market for mining stocks has been more active to-day, inquiries having bec ome b r i s k er. Shares in the United Mints, to which we drew attention yes terday, have experienced a further advance of 501., business having actually been done at 550/. The prices at which sales have been made are reported to be as follows, but due allowance must be made for the wide margin frequently existing in this variable market as between buyer and seller:—United Mines, .550; Tremayne, 25; South Tolgue, 180; Tavey Consols, 5,1; Condurrow, 1021 ; Bedford United, 8, 1; East Tolgue, 20 ; West Wheal Alfred, 5,1, 1 „ j ; Cwin Darren, 1; Tamar Con so l s , 4, 51 ; South Tamar, 51, ; East Tamar, 265.; Kilbricken, 41; Mendip Hills, 25a.; Wheal Cupid, 043 ; Rix Hill, 3; Linares, 21, 3 ; Linares (Preference), 4. The transactions in gold mining shares were few, and at former prices. The non-official quotations of the new mines are as follows:—Connemara, to 14 prem.; Glenaulin, Ito prem.; Britannia, Cto dis.; Carberry West, j tot prem.; North Wales Consols, ito prem. We understand that at a board meeting of the Grand Duchy of laden Chartered Mining Associav lion, held this afternoon, it was unanimously re solved to declare a dividend at the rate of 40 per cent. per annum. This is the first of the new foreign mines that has yet arrived at this satisfactory result. This adventure has not yet been three months before the public, a circumstance which renders the decla ration of a dividend the more worthy of notice. MARIA AND lINOCIA lINONARANTNED.

A MANUFACTURER AND A BAILIFF COMMIITIED r..a FlLON7.—Joieph Winterbottom, a cotton yarn ma aufeetarer, wee charged before the Hudderaffeld /aegislfs'es on Saturday last with having, on the 26th nit., at Iluelelerafield, feloniously removed three skips of cops and Lidons, and twenty bundles of cotton yarn, the property of Mr. Isaac Simpson, warehouseman and cotton spinner, of Manchester and Preston ; and John Cropper, a bailiff, elhoged with aiding and abetting. Mr. T. Wheeler, haunter, isatructed by Meters. IleUboase and Bond, soli citor., of Manchester, rippeared on behalf of the prosecu tion , and Mr. J. T. Freeman, solicitor, Hodder,- le id. for the prisoner Winterbottom. Cropper was net defended. Winterbottom recently occupied two alias at Bolton, and about two months ago became the occupier of the Apsley Mill, near Huddersfield. Win. t..rb.t:••m had dealt extensively with the prosecutor, and Is.e.oui indebted to him for 1,2011. 171. bd.

It inn thence= had furnished an inventory of the goods and t fleets of the Apsley Mill, in which they were estimated as leucite hut, a discrepancy being diacovered between their reel and estirrated value, the deed was im mediately executed. On the 23rd ultimo, the pri loo,r, stating himself unable to meet the demand served upon Lim, possession was taken, and the prisoner Cropper, a Isailiff in tie service of Mr. Newton. sheriff's officer, of ' Manchester was Irft in charge of the premises. On the following Monday morning, with the consent and assistance ! “ Crupper, the articles ahoy, named were removed by ceilway to Manche .ter, by Winterbottom, and consigned to Niods Whitehead and Wilcock, cotton spinners, who, refused to receive them. Information having b y the prosecutor, Winterbottom and Crop. 1.• r were taken into custody. Mr. Freeman, on behalf of Wnterhottorn, contended that the prosecutor was not I. rally in possession, inasmuch as the deed was conditional tool nut absolute. The magistrates however, being advised Ly the clerk that the poseession was legal, committed the Imsoners for trial at the York 111111lIPS.

When it is ora la mind that this is the first exhibition of reaping machines within many miles of Shef field, it will be readily believed that those new wonders mottopolised the attention of the spectators. The show yard was in fact almost deserted, while the trial of the reaping machines was witnessed by several hundred eager observers. We never saw a public exhibition of any kind that ab sorbed more completely the attention of the spectators. The machines were three in amber, namely, M'Cor , rank's, manufactured by Burgess and Key (price 281.) Hussey's, manufactured bJ treeddll (prim 2111 ; and Hussy's, manufactured by W.

The English funds to-day continued their down ward coarse without interruption. Consols, which were first marked 1001 for cash, fell to 100, and the closing price was only 99; to 100, both for money and the 12th, exhibiting a fall since yesterday of per cent. A feature of the market was the resump tion of sales for time, which were effected as low as 991, or actually 1 lower than the price for imme diate delivery, as marked in the official list. As usual at this season, reports of blight in the wheat and disease in the potatoes in various districts of the kingdom were industriously disseminated, and the dispute with tho United States rela tive to the fisheries was similarly made nes of to affect prices. In the afternoon rumours were also prevalent of a considerable redue tion in the Bank's stock of bullion (to which refer ence is made below), so that, altogether, speculators appeared to think they had sufficient ground for operations in a sense unfavourable to prices. There was more speculation in this department than f or ;ratpeat. and although it is extremely pro- If dm a beers" would be found seab enough to "go for the fall" heavily, or for any length of time, there are yet many speculators who are in the habit of operating from account to account, and willing to make a trifling profit from the turn of the market. It is certainly ridiculous, when the Bank's stock of bullion stands at twenty-two millions sterling, to attach any importan ce to a variation o f a quar t er o f a million or so, especially when it is well known from what quarter the demand arises. The approaching settle ment of the account also has some effect, speculators for a rite, who have been holding on to their stock, thinking it advisable to realise. In other stocks there was very little business. The official report of trans actions is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1001, 100, k, 100, 1, 100 ; ditto for ac count, 1001, 100, 1, 891, 100. Three per Cent. Reduced, 1001, 1, 1 New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1041, I.

The tendency of prices in the foreign stock market was not so favourable as of late. Mexican New Bonds ranged from 25 to 251. Portuguese Fours fell to 36; and Buenos AyreanSixes to 741. Brazilian Scrip realised 21 to 3 prem. The sales recorded are as follows!:—Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 103 • ditto, Small, 102, ; ditto, New Four-and-a Hai per Cent. Scrip, 21, 21, 21, 3 prem.

Yesterday we chro nicled the shipment of 300,000/. by the Sydney, and the day before 50,0001. by the Admiral, all for our Australian colonies. The effect of these large ship ments is beginning to be rather sensibly felt in the Bank. Thus we are enabled to announce that the return for the week ending last Saturday will show a decrease of about 300,0001. in the stock of coin and bullion. It must not be forgotten, however, that the receipts of the precious metals daring the present week have been very large, whilst last week, as shown in our statement, they were more than coun terbalanced by the exports. Friday, the 13tIIII1WT, - Siti leen appointed by 'the Steel Exchange Committee settling day in the shares of the Madras Railway Company, which closed to-day 21 to 21 prem.

We are happy to learn that the complaints of the Mexican bondholders against the inactivity of their committee, as expressed an our columns and else where, have had the effect of drawing their atten tion to a sense of the critical position in which the important interests confided to their care are now placed. A meeting of the committee was held this afternoon, at which it was resolved that the chair man and deputy chairman should wait upon Lord Malmesbury at his lordship's convenience, and lay before him a statement of those matters in which the government of Mexico have failed to comply ' with the stipulations of the last convention, at the same time requesting his lordship's good offices to enforce their claims. The assistance of the British minister at Mexico will of course be secured. From Colonel Facio we have received the follow. ing statement of the of the Mexican Con version, which will progress to the bond holders: Statement of the Conversion of WWI= Bonds ap to the 31st July.

With reference to the association whichliu jutbeen announced as in course of formation, under the title of the " Costa Rica Company," for the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocea ns, we understand that the Consul of New Granada in London has indig nantly ignored the claim of the company to any con cession embracing the Boa del Toro on the Atlantic coast, which is stated in the prospectus as one of the termini of the proposed line, and that he has formally notified that the republic of New Granada will enforce, by every means in its power, its claim to the territory in question. Since the separation of the Isthmus territory from the Spanish crown there have been continued struggles between the republics of New Granada and Costa Rica owing to the boundary line of the two states not being definitively laid down, but the state that actually exercises authority in Boca del Toro and its vicinity, is New Granada, Costa Rica having been unsuccessful in enforcing her alleged claim. Thus various valuable concessions for the formation of a plank road across the isthmus at this point were made to the Chiriqui Road Company (which has been established in London some time) on the 10th April, 1861, by the provincial government of Chiriqui, by virtue of an act of the general government of New Granada, passed at Bogota on the 3rd Juno, 1848. In face of the notification thus issued by the Consul of Now Granada, some explanation is looked for from the promoters of the Costa Rica Company. The meeting of the shareholders of the Great Western Railway of Canada was held to-day, when a very satisfactory statement of affairs was laid before them. The most favourable features of the directors' report are the assurance from the engineer that the whole line, from the Niagara to the Detroit rivers, l will be opened in August, 1863 ; and the renewed assurance that, notwithstanding the carrying out of Imany improvements in the construction of the line, the coat will not much exceed the original estimates, and that the capital of the company will, under any circumstances, more than cover the entire cost of con struction. By the issue of M,OOO shares in England, and the subscriptions of other railway companies and individuals on the other side, tho entire share capital has been subscribed, and the amount of the loan from government is thus reduced to 2(10,0001. instead of 800,0001., which the company were entitled to claim under the act of parliament. Great benefit is expected to accrue from the coestruction of the various new lines of railway in the United States and Canada, all of which will be in continua tion of, or act a s !Ceders to, this line. The Northern Railway Company have just com pleted the surveys of the railway destined to connect the line from St. Quentin to llzquelines with that extending from Paris to Belgium, passing by way of Cambrai. These surveys have been duly submitted to the government authorities. Tho transactima in Bank shares this week have again been very large, and although some descrip done, including Bank of Australasia and Union of Australia, have not fully maintained the recent marked rise, the market is generally very firm, the inquiries being numerous.

Kenuth and Co., English, French, and. German leather, and steel goods dealers, situate at No. 7, Allen-street, Gowen-street. The building in which the disaster originated was of great width, and extended back wards as far as the end of Messrs. Walker's steam The whole covered an area of several acres. By a little after 1 o'clock, something like an hour after the discovery was first made, the complete mastery was obtained over this fearful conflagration, but a consider able body of fire remained in the ruins at that time, which was not likely to be extinguished for some hours. The property destroyed must, at a moderate calculation, reach to some thousand pounds, for the whole of Messrs. Kenuth'a property is reduced to ruins, and unfortunately the firm was insured for only 2,4001. The principal por tion of the saw-mills of Messrs. Walker is likewise con sumed, and serious damage has been done to several of the contiguous premiss. CITY INPRovititEsTa.—A Cale of assessment of compensation came on before the Recorder and a sledal jury, in the Mayor's Court, on Saturday last.
