Mr. W. o Galsworthy, on behalf or the shareholders, :old of Mr. Jay, IS the interim manager, represented to the Master that the WILI report in question proceeded on a misapprehension of the is t real facts of the case.

The case, ho submitted, contained all the elements neeessary to bring it under the 131 , operation of the act. Messrs. Cox and Son, who uppeared M fix Mr. Flight, a holder of KIM shares : and Messrs.

The Equitable Gm Company has recently broken up the pave ment, without the consent of the commissioners, for the purpose of laying down a service pipe from the main, in Coventry-street, to a single house situated at a considerable distance up another street. and, being summoned to the police court fur the penalty imposed by the General Pave meat Aet for every square foot of pavement broken without the consent of the commissioners, contends that the penalty is applicable only to the laying down of mains without eon out, and does not apply to service pipes. That though it cannot he said that a rievice pip: is not a pipe, yet that the word pipe is employed in the General Pavement Act sometimes in a wide, sometimes in a narrow sense, and that the particular meaning intended in each instance must be deduced from a careful examination of the whole of the contest.

On Thursday next, the Ist of May, according to annual custom, the transfer offices of the Bank of England and the Stuck Exchange will be closed. The Exhibition opening will likewise in all proba bility be celebrated as a holiday. To-morrow, I (Saturday) and Monday, are usually days of little business, on Tuesday and Wednesday the arrange ments for the account in the foreign stock I and share markets will materially interfere with the disposition to effect new operations, and as on Thurs day the holiday intervenes, there is little prospect of much activity in the beginning of the week. A deputation of the Committee of Mexican Bond holders had an interview to-day with Mr. Abbot Lawrence, the American minister, and were most courteously received. He assured them, aster as was in his power, that the American cabinet would give every facility to the representatives of the bond holders in the acknowledgment of the Mexican draft on the indemnity money. - From the Committee of Spanish American Bond holder 4, the following communication, which is of a satisfactory tendency, has been received: VENEZVELAN PERT. 43 54 51 1291 9 22 rat 9 II i I I 8 2 4 2i 3 1 It I 94;1 31!

The following is an extract of a letter received this morn ing by the committee of Spanish American bondholders from their agent, Mr. Lord, dated " La Guarra, March 25, 1851. " The interval between this and my last of the 10th instant has produced an important movement in favourofthe bondholders, vie., the introduction in Congress of a project of law for continuing for two years more, with exclusive application to payment of the hut years interest due on the foreign debt to the Ist of April ensuing, the contribution extraordinary that has been in operation since the 2nd of May, 1819, and will expire on the 2nd of May next. The law is waiting a third reading in the Lower Chandwr, having, after a long discussion, lain unanimously approved on the second reading. "'this contribution produced in the financial year ending the 30th June last the sum of 520,035 dollars. 'the exclusive application met with some opposition, and this is part of what Senor Moontom, chairman of the finance com mittee, said in the session of the 12th instant. Sir,—We are not ashannool to act honestly; the project has for its object to re-establish our credit, lust in conse quence of the non-fulfilment of our promised engagements, and the national congress will not Say anything deroptory to its dignity by telling the foreign creditors; there is now a guarantee for the payment of what is due to you. " Before the result of the second reading hadl reached me, I had prepared another representation to congress, in re ference to this extraordinary contribution, and in support of its c•clusive appropriation. On tlw same day—and the coincidence is somewhat remarkable-11er Majesty's Clio* d'Affaires, was also employed in addressing to the Ministeri for Foreign Affairs a sting and energetic remoo•strance, in reply to a despatch 'spoon that minister, Senhor Hen", dated the 13th, in regard to the bondholders' claims. Thus do we appear to he gaining ground, and if public tranquillity be only preserved, I trust proof will soon be given that the present administration is sine, re its its desire to satisfy' the foreign creditors of the Republic." - - • • Amectit , was held to-day of the Commercia Huck Company, for the purpose of taking into con• sideration the bill now pending before parliament for the purchase and enlargement of the East Country Dock. and other objects connected there with.

The stopes in the hack of the 10 fittlunn level continue to produce a good quantity of fair quality ore. This mine is gradually improving. At La Reyna, in the shaft now being sunk, the lode is altering, some of the gossan is leaving., and beautiful stones of ore are to hi haunt throughout the entire lode.

SACRILEGE AT GLOUCESTER CATHEDRAL—Gum: - cwrrEh, Fsinsy.—A daring act of sacrilegious robbery was committed in Gloucester Cathedral last night, and was ts covered to-day on the cathedral doors being opened of divine service. What makes the circumstance the more extraordinary is the fact that this is the fourth robbery which bun been committed in the cathedral under precisely similar circumstancis ; the object of the thieves being tho name, and the iustrument used in effecting it being in three out of the four caws the same. It views that the thief or i thieves obtained access to the cathedral through a window on the south side of the Chapel of our Lady. Thence they got access to the nave, where against one of the massive pillars are fixed two alms boxes for the reception of the contributions of the charitably disposed towards the county hospital. These boxes were forced from their fixtures by means of a plough (molter which it is supposed has been stolen from a blacksmiths shop near. One of the boxes so wrenched off was curried away, together with itsemitents; but the other was found (with the coulter) lying near the window through which the robber obtained ingress. It contained a small sum of money, the box being of such a construction as to preclude the possibility of (I)lM ina it without a key. It is expected that the booty obtained was but small, as the boxes had been very recently emptiest of their contents. On each of the three last occasions when the sacred building was forced a plough coulter was left be hind; and this leads to the impression the robber un every occasion was the same. Nu clue has been obtained to the discovery of the depredator. Another case of a precisely similar nature With discovered yesterday. The sexton, on going into St. Nicholas church, discovered that the Infir mary alms box had been torn from its fixture; and, together with its contents, which are unknown, carried off. TM roof of St. Nicholas church has been under re sir this wish , and it is supposed that the thief thus obtained ingress to t church in the day time.
