4 earnestly request your Majesty that you will be graciously pleased immediately to issue commands to the authorities of the censorship in the duchies to let the affairs of the country be freely discussed in the public papers and in pamphlets, and to desire the police authorities not to put any obstacle in the war of popular assemblies for the cbecassion of the com mon affairs of the country.—Kiel, Feb. 29. Your Maieety's obedient humble subjects. (Here f o llow the signatures.) The Journal A amend de Frankfurt says that Russia has concentrated considerable forces on the frontiers of Austria. The Prince Paakewitch is appointed commander. The army will be 60,000 men ; one part only has arrived at its destination. ROC it is m iserable for these troops that famine reigns now in the circles of Poland, and also in Gallicia and Haute Silesia. The Poles are very unrsy, for it is reported that those who are condemned t Berlin will not be pardoned. We do not believe th is report. From the Gazette de Pologne, of 4th March we learn that the events in France have produced an ex traordinary.impression on the minds of the people at Saxe Leipsic. There is a regular battle for the ex traordinary editions of the Paris journals. They talk of Fronting a petition to the government to demand the immediate convocation of repreeettatives of the people. They claim the liberty of the press and trial by jury. The censorship has lately been almost as severe in Saxony as in Austria. Letters from Vienna, dated Feb. 27, state that, ru mmers having been spread that the savings bank had stopped payment, a run upon it immediately took place, and at noon the crowds waiting at the entrance were so great that it was found necessary the e'er the doors. The rumour was, however, unfounded, having originated in the refusal made to return deposits im mediately, without the usual notice of twenty-four hoars. The Austrian government was expected to proclaim a constitution, with freedom of the press; but the same proclamation wu to announce a forced loan to the amount of forty millions of florins. The property of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in Bohemia, which has reverted to the emperor by the r eunion of the duchy of Lucca to Tuscany, produces an annual revenue of twelve millions of florins, out of which the emperor has assigned a part for unforeseen expenses. BRUSSELS, Mance 5. All this day the trumpets have been sounding and the drams beating in true military atyle. Strong de tachments of troops are parading the main streets, and all Brussels is on the qui rise. Let me hasten, however, to add that the trumptets to which I refer are penny ones, the drums mere toys, the troops mere escorts, and the Bruzellois mere spectators. In a word, we are in all the incipient glories of carnival, whilst the German journals, following the example of the French ones, declare that we have proclaimed a republic, and consequently have something else to do besides getting up a Longchamps procession. The fact that carnival wi:l be observed this year with all the usual solemnities is the best proof I could give of the truth of the assertion that "order reigns" in Brussels. Now for a few scraps of intelligence. The chambers anxious to give immediate employment to the unoc espied, have voted the sum of 1,300,000 francs for the ()Destruction and improvement of roads ; and, in order to prevent a scarcity of specie, have passed a bill giving a legal eurrency_to English sovereigns at the rate of 25L each. Moreover the government have issued a circular urging the provincial authori ties, the landed proprietors, the manufacturers, and all persons "in easy circumstances," to employ as many persons as possible. They are urged to do so en the ground that it is only by employing the work ing °lasses that the country can get over (traverser) the present crisis. The French residents in Brussels have sent a depu tation to Paris, in order to give in their adhesion to the Provisional Government, and to express their at tachment to the French Republic. The affairs of the Commercial Bank of Antwerp will be wound up as soon as possible. A first divi dend of 15 per cent, will be declared in about ten days. The losses will fall not on the creditors of the bank, but on the shareholders. Cbc court.

MEETING OF THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday a meeting took place at the London Tavern, Bishopegate-street, for the purpose of affording the electors a n opportunity ef expressing their etrong disappro bation of the re4mposition of the income tax, and of calling the attention of parliament to a reviaien of the principles and details of taxation and expenditure.—P. A. Taylor, Esq., Tem called to the chair, and wee s upported by J. Benison, Esq., M.P., Dr. Bowring, M.P., G. Thompson, Esq., M.P., the High Baili f f of So uthwark (Mr. Priterd), J. Ingrain Travers, E q ., 1). W. Wire, Eag., &c. &c, PATTISON, M.P., proposed the following resolution : That the circumstances of the times demand from parliament the moat rigid investigation of the national expense., and the most strict and rigid economy,• a nd that this meeting me, no sociality for say relief from the heavy burdens that oppress the nation except in aline deduction from the estimates. He (Mr. Pattieon) could assure the meeting that he was ' heart and hand in their cause. It was only that day week that he attended a meeting of the Common Hall, and sines that time Lord John Russell had withdrawn his proposition for an increase of the tax. At the Common Hall he stated that it wee hidordship's intention to withdraw his motion. Re w ished he was in a position now to say that Lord J. Russia intended to remove the tax altogether. (Hear, hear.) Whoa Sir Peel proposed the tax in 1842, he said he sho it re u newed for ld only re quire it tor three years ; he, however, got three years longer, and now Lord J. Russell came before them for three years more ; and if he ( Mr. Pattison) had not mistaken a remark which fell front the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was his intention to keep up the tax in perpe tuity. Although be did not like the tax, he should vote for its continuance for one year, bectuse if the government owed m oney it must be paid and he was afraid that, if e was withdrawn at the present time, one more objectionable would be imposed. He should support Mr. Hume's motion far one year, in order to give the government time to turn itself round. Still he feared that Mr. Hume's motion would be lost, for there was a majority against him. He (Mr. Pat peon) was sorry for it, for he heard very end accounts from tradesmen in the City, that there was scarcely any business, and that commerce was at a stand still. The hon. member concluded by expressing his hearty assent to the resolution he had proposed. Dr. Bowie' NO, M.P., in secoading the resolution, was con vinced that the people would never be relieved from their boldly demanded a retrenchment. From °45 to 1848 the estimates had been increased from to 9 Re had been taunted with the charge that the the House of Commons who advocated retrench been too silent, otherwise there would not have rest an increase. He and other gentlemen hold er opinions as himself had certainly not divided the the time when those increases had been made, but on all occasions entered their protest against any in in the estimates. He was now pre pared to tote course—that was, on every occasion to come forward the house in order that no further taxes should be a the public. (Cheers.) After referring to events recently taken place in France, the learned doctor by remarking that they had asked the ministers tax for one year longer only, but they had re , was therefore for the public now to say whether sanction it at all. resolution was supported by Mr. TOWNSEND and DDY. The fatter gentleman loudly complained of inequality of the present tax. If a solicitor, for instance, `t MU. a year, he had to pay 91. for income tax and 123. °snidest,. Now at the present price it would take to purchase an annuity of 3001., and therefore the so ho made but 3001. a year by his profession had to per annum more than the gentleman who bad in the funds. chairman put the resolution to the meeting, and it -4 eid . tens, din 184.5 to 1848 th millions.

Sturges, Bartle, Lee, Hall, &c., and the resolution having been ear- Tied The uswa compliment having been paid to the chairman, the meeting dispersed. WESTMLNSTER REFORM SOCIETY. A special meeting of the members of this society was bold last evening at the York Hotel, Covent-garden, to take into oonsideration the budget now befcre the House of Commons: Mr. Pouncey presided. Mr. Lushiogton and Sir De Lacy Evans, the member' for the city, were among the ginsffiemen present. Beira the aonuneneement of the regular proceedings, Mr. LIMMINOTON (who was obliged to leave the meeting early) reloaded toosy . • few words. He regretted exceedingly the muss whisk 'rudders had adopted with regard to the 'bud gets the senesquence of which lied been, that is the earlier of the discussion he had been under the necessity et against them, and he saw no prospect of deviating ' from t course. Mr. Hume had that evening proposed that the income tax should only be continued for one year instead of three ; and, although he objected to the tax alto lase, he Ifelt that he mast support Mr. Hume's prop-id ' lien. seleing the least of two evils. He was of opUion that say deanieney is the revenue should be supplied by Win, the land—in feet, by putting on a property tax ; and, if that wee not sufficient, by imposing • probate and legacy duty on real property. Sir Da LACY Evans observed that he had equal objen. dons to the continuance of the income tax even for one year, but he saw no alternative. Mr. Gwynn then addressed the meeting in a speech strongly condemnatory of the increase is the estimates, particularly under the heads of army, navy, and ordnance, which had taken place from the year 1836, when they amounted to 11,730.0731., until lB47, when they were in creased to 17,340,0961., and which latter estimate had been exceeded by nearly two millions. Mr. Gessin having no resolution to move, Mr. PIMUT begged to move one which he had prepared. It was to the effect that the proper mode of in part supplying the revenue was by a probate and legacy duty upon real estates equal to that on personal property; that there was no reason why the income and property tax should not be exten•led to Ireland, if continued in Great Britain ; that the land tax having considerably fallen off as a source of revenue, having become of less magnitude than the window tax, while it was still levied in the other great countries of Europe, so as to form a third of their total revenue, the equalisation and increase of the tax was imperative for the purpose of di. minishing indirect taxation ; th at a great saving in the con tracts for supplying the army and navy might be made for the ensuing year; that no additional funds were wanted for national defences in the present state of Europe ; that the meeting deprecated any increase in the income and property tax, unless accompanied by an equivalent decrease in other modes of taxation ; and were also strongly of opinion that previously to the re-imposition even of the present tax, it was the duty of the legislature to take mesas to render it more equal in its operation, especially by removing the obnoxious njustice of imposing the same charges upon professions or trades, and other uncertain sources, as upon incomes arnfing from realised property ; that, as a means of continuing the peace of Europe, the government of the several nations throughout ought to decrease, by mutual consent , their re spective armaments, which would lead to the tranquillity, and extend the liberty and happiness, of the European people. Mr. CRIBB seconded the resolution, to which Dr. Barre moved an amendment, proposing that a com mittee be appointed to prepare a petition to parliament, pro testing against the inequality and unjust principles of the income tax. Mr. Gluon( seconded the amendment; and a long dis cussion ensued upon the question, Mr. PILOUT being of opinion that • property and income tax were the only proper ones, because they would do away with the necessity for indirect taxation, while several other gen tlemen were for the abolition of th. income tax at all hazards. Sir Ds LACY EVANB recommended that a petition, em bodying a comprehensive view of the subject of the financial measures of the government, and intimated his willing. ness to take charge of and present the document, if it was drawn up. He was of opinion that • property tax was desirable, indeed indispensable ; and that the only excuse 'for and palliation of the income tax was, that it was en approach to that measure. He believed that, how ever contemptuously they might regard the governments of the Continent, almost every one of them exhibited more justice to the body of the people than was evinced by the legislature of this country. He thought that the govern ment refrained from proposing either a dist i nction or a probate duty on real property, or to establish a between property and income taxes because they were apprehensive of losing their majority in'the two houses by the means. It was only, therefore, by agitation out of doors that the go vernment could be compelled to propose such measures to the legislature. He believed that the land tax could very well be equalised ; its present inequality was monstrous. It was about 2,. 10d. in the parish where they then were, and in that in which he raided only about one farthing. He thought that, however right they might be in condemning any extravagance or imamse of expenditure on the part of the remount, they. were wrong in advocating any decrease in'the existing naval and military forces of the country, as they were at present considerably less than the fortes of neighbouring countries. On the question being put the amendment was lost, and the original motion carried by a small majority. It was then agreed that a petition founded on the resolution should be presented to parliament, and a committee appointed to draw it up. Mr. HEALEY then proposed a resolution to the effect that the only remedy for the financial embarrassments of the country was the formation of • new ministry by Mr. Cobden. The proposal excited some surprise, and was eventually withdrawn it being understood that Mr. Healey was at liberty to ell] a special mewing for its consideration. The usual complimentary vote to the chairman concluded the proceedings. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. " FINDING " TWELVE HUNDRED POUNDS. —On Tuesday a gentleman in Manchester lost a roll of bank notes amounting to 1,2001. He had dined at the Star Hotel, at what is called the bleachers' dinner. He proclaimed his loss in the room, and went to step payment at the bank, return. ing with a policeman. One of the nersons who had dined with the party, and who at first answered only by dishonest, hesitating exclamations, at length confessed he had "found" them, and the notes were banded over to the loser. The " gentleman" was not placed in custody, but his character has, of tonne, been much canvassed sines the occurrence. INTIMIDATION BY COLLIERS.—On Wednesday a band of miners visited several coal pits in Pemberton, and, by threats or intimidation, induced the whole of the men engaged at those works to leave their employment without a moment's notice. They announced, also, that they should continue their calls at the other pits in Pemberton and in Winstanley on Thursday, for the um purpose. Mott of the hands of the Earl of Balcones, at Haigh Colliery, have left off work ; and at Mears. Lancaster's pit, in Ince, a similar attempt hu been made to quit their employment illegally. NORTHUMBERLAND. . - , nionreturancraLs....... SYMPATHY WITH THE FRENCIL- 011 Thursday night, a public meeting, convened by handbill, was held at Newcastle, to take into consideration the stale of affairs in France, and petition against interference with the people of that couSeventr in the establishment of • new form of govern ment. y ral speeches were made, and it was unanimouely resolved: That the inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne resolve that the noble conduct of the people of France, in reatating the tyranny of Louis Philippe and his bane ministry at the risk and sacrifice of their liven, and maintaining their just and inalienable rights, deserves the warmest approbation, and the moderation displayed in the hour of trial the highest suraimtion. That the people of France, in changiag the form and constitution of their government, had only done that which was right, just, and proper, the people being the only real source of all power, and had an undoubted and natural right to change their 0.11 governors, laws, and institutions, and that any in terference by the government of this country, or any other country, in the internal aMdra of France, either directly or indirectly, would merit as it would meet with the universal execration of mankind ; and any such interference by the go vernment of this country would meet with a oonatitutional but determined resistance from the inhabi tants of this town. Resolutions were also adopted condemnatory of the conduct of Louis Philippe, and a petition to parliament was adopted. The meeting was crowded. __ ocorcEarritsuraz. INTOLERANCE REBUKED.—Under this title the CheUenham Free Press says : " The Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, late theological tutor of the Cheltenham Proprietary Col lege, who was compelled to resign his appointment in that school in consequence of an intolerant rens'ution passed by the directors, has just been offered by the Lord Chancellor the living of St. Werburgh's, Derby. It will be remem bered that at the public meeting held in December last, a resolution was adopted, on the motion of Mr. Harper, se conded by Dr. Robinson, that a statement of the proceed ings which had taken place should be transmitted to the Premier, with a request that he would bestow the first church living in his power on Mr. Wilkinson. We are glad to find the government thus testifying their disapprobation of the intolerance which has been manifested towards a gentleman so worthy of esteem as the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson." UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. OXFORD, DIABCK 6.—The examiners appointed by the trustees of the Lusby scholarships bare given notice that an examina tion will be holden in liantialsn ce da rarch 30, end the knowing days, tor the ponces al slating on that fundatko. ;TILE 11XPRE88, TUESDAY ETENING, MARCH 7, 1848. an ironmonger in Whiteorosostreet, on taking stock, found a deficiency of 2001 , and believing himself to have been robbed, he applied to Sergeant Brennan who undertook to discover Ste thief. Suspecting th'e prisoner, he kept a strict watch over his habits, and soon found that although his wa ges wars but eighteen shillings a week, lopt • took servant, and wu living in a very expensive isassow. At length Brennan sent persons to the prosecutor's s hop with marked money, to purcbue some articles, sad the marked coins being found on the prisoner, be was given into custo dy. Brennan searched his lodgings, where he found 1371. in loose cash, in a coat pocket he found sevensovert igas, 231. in his trowsers pocket, and various other sums wrapped op in paper, concealed in other places.—The jury found the prisoner Guilty.—The Common Serjeant sentenced him to b• transported for 'even years. POLICE.—YESTERDAY. MANSION-HOUSE.—Sra•LING BANIRUPT STOUR. — Mary Jones alias Mrs. Johnson, was charged with hav ing. stolen a it uantity of silk, the' property of the assignees of a bankrupt. Mr. Gale, Wicker to the assignees of a woollen draper who had become bank rupt, and whose warehouse was at No. 5, Queen-street, Cbeapside, s tated that the messenger of the Co urt of Bank ruptcy had put two men in possession some weeks ago, one o f whom had let the prisoner into the house o n the preceding night to visit the other,and the lady had availed herse l f of the opportunity thus fforded her of visiting the cellar in which the silks were deposited, and winding a consideble quantity of that valuable manufacture round her body ; ~ she was, however, observed by a City police sergeant, who soon decreased her size by removing from her person some of the goods of the assignees with the marks of the broker upon them, so that there could be no mistake as to their identiry.—Sergeant Sheppard said that between two and three o'clock in t he morning be saw the prisoner coming from the house, No. 5, in Queen-street, Cheapside, and observing that she appeared to be very bulky be stopped her, and asked what she had been doing at that place at such an hour. She replied that she had been to see • friend. lie told her he was not satisfied with her state ment, and perceiving that something was hanging down from under her clothes, he turned his lampto the officer on the adjoiniag beat as a signal for assistance, and he took from under her petticoats upwards of 20 yards of black talk. He then sent the other policeman to the house in Queen-street, to make inquiry about her them; and as she walked towards the station-house he saw somethiag else hanging from her persm, and pulled from her several yards or prim rose-coloured silk.—After some further evidence the pri soner was remanded. GUILDHALL. —WINDOW Webber was charged with breaking several large squares of plate glass in the shop window of Messrs. Berens, Blumberg, and Co., St. Pad's Churehyard, foreign warehou sem en. The damage done amounted to nearly 501., but to bring the case within the jurisdiction of the worthy alderman it was found neces sary to lay it at 51. only.—Policeman W. Allen said he was turning round St. Paul's Churchyard, inte the Old 'Change, when he heard a crash as of glass breaking. He ran back into St. Paul's Churchyard, and saw the prisoner throw something through the windows of the prosecutors' ware house, and before he could get near enough to secure him he ' smashed a large square of glass. When taken into custody Webber said, " I am satisfied now; I've' had my revenge." The officer here produced the stones, which were large flint ones, weighing from 41b. to 51b. each. —Alderman Moon considered it a mercy, also, teat no one was killed. When mantes of such a serious and dangerous character as those produced were used with such reckless nese, regardless of consequences. the guilty party ought not to be treated in the ordinary manner, and therefore he had decided on remanding the prisoner for further evidence as to where the stones fell, bow near to any person, and whether any one might have been injured. In the meantime he would take the advice of the City solicitor, and sea if some means could not be taken to punish the prisoner more se verely, and in a different manner, to the usual mode of dis posing of such cases.—The prisoner was then remanded. BOW•STREET. Tan MEETING IN TRAFALGAR /MUMMA-8 I pickpockets were charged with pursuing their avocations in the crowd collected in Trafalear-equare, Charing cross, and committed for trial or sent to hard labour, according to the nature of their offences. A young man, named James Marchand, was also charged with inciting the mob, by exclaiming "Down with the polioe—no national guards," and throwing stones promisee ondy among the people.—The Prisoner said that, in the con fusion, it was impossible for the officer belonging to the C divines, by whom he was apprehended, to distinguish who was the aggressor, and he denied having ever made use of the laeguage imputed to him, or to have incited the mo in any manner.—Mr. Hall ordered him to pay a fine of 20s b ~ or to be imprisoned for sight days. James Drehalthorne, whose head was severely wounded, was charged with assaulting the police, and obstructing them in the execution of their duty.—Sergeant Shepherd, A din- OW, stated that he was suddenly availed by a volley of stones by the mob, while standing with other cons:ebles, and, on attempting to force the crowd back, they were again • remitted in the same manner, during which he was knocked down and struck by the prisoner with his fist, in his attempt ing to rescue a prisoner, in consequence of which he was compelled to use his staff to protect himself.—The Prisoner said he did not belong to the crowd, but had just parted with some friends when he received a blow of a truncheon on the back of his head which stunned him.—Mr. Hall ordered the prisoner to be discharged, the constable being unable to satisfy him why he used his truncheon in such an indiscri minate and cowardly manner. Several other cases of a similar description were brought up, which detained the magistrates beyond the usual hour. WORSHIP-STREET.—IIIPORTaNT TO RAILWAT TEA VELLERE.—Afr. William Broom, a tea broker in Fenchurch court, Fencherch-street, appeared to answer an adjourned charge of having unlawfully refused to deliver up his ticket as a passenger by one of the trains upon the Eastern Coun ties Ilealway, and also with obstructing and assaulting the officers of the company in the execution of their duty.—lt was proved at the former examination that the defendant arrived at the Stratford station in a second•class carriage of the Bury train on Tuesday last, and having positively re fused to deliver up his ticket when required so to do, he was ejected from the carriage, after a strenuous resistance, in the course of which it was alleged that he made a violent attack upon one of the inspectors, and was thereupon given into custody.—After hearing the evidence in support of the charge, and the counter-allegation on the part of the de fendant—who justified his refusal to surrender the ticket on the ground that the seats of the carriage were in Such a damp and filthy condition it was impossible to use them, and that he wished therefore to detain it to enable him to lodge a complaint at the termines— the magistrate expressed considerable doubt as to the legs,- ' lity of the defendant's arrest, and postponed his decision for a more perfect exposition of the grounds upon which the com pany proceeded.—Mr. Duncan, the solicitor to the railway, now attended, and directed the magistrate's attention, first to their fifth bye-law, by which it was enacted that any per son wilfully obstructing the officers of the company in the discharge of their duties might be forthwith removed from the premises, and besides forfeiting the amount of his fare should be liable to the penalty of 40s. for such obstruction : and secondly, to the 16th section of the act for the general regulation of railways, which authorised the officer so ob structed to seize and detain such offender and convey him before a magistrate, who was empowered to impose any pe nalty not exceeding 51. for that offence. In this instance it had been proved that the inspector was acting in the execu tion of his duty in requiring the defendant to deliver up his ticket, and that, having refused to do so, he was legally ex pelled from the carnage in order that the train might pro ceed on its journey. His arrest, under these circumstances, was the natural and proper consequence, and the assault he subsequently committed upon the officer was clearly a sub • jut for the summary adjudication of the magistrate.—Mr. Parry, for the defendant, was about to reply, but was stopped by Mr. Arnold, who intimated that he had arrived at a clear opinion upon the question, without troubling him with any observations. The solicitor of the company rested the ease entirely upon the construction of their tth bye-law, which authorised the removal of any person from the car riages who should obstruct or impede an officer in the exe cution of his duty, and he conteaded that a refusal to give I•p a ticket amounted to such an obstruction. He (the magistrate), however, entertained a contrary opinion, as he considered, first, that the obstruction contemplated must mean some act committed by a person, and not a mere cana -1 'ion to perform an act; and, secondly, lsc cause the conse quences of the non-delivery of a ticket had been expressly provided for by the first bye-law, in which it had been held , I in the case of " Chilton o. the Brighton Railway," that i such refusal would not justify the arrest of a passenger, although he might be required to pay the whole amount of tare from the place whence the train originally started. He felt satisfied that neither of the clauses warranted the re moval from the carriage or subsequent apprehension of the defendant. Without expressing any opinion as to the pro priety of his conduct, he felt it his duty to order him to be discharged. MARLBOROUGH -STREET.—A DIAMOND Bitoocu.— The Hon. and Rev. Augustus Cavendish was charged with having obtained fraudulently 601. worth of diamond brooches, the property of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, jewelers and silversmith', New Bond-street. —Joseph Broadhurst said, that on the 4th of September last the prisoner called at Mears. Hunt and Co.'s warehouse, and stated that he had been commissioned by . a lady to select a diamond brooch for her, but being a bad judge of such articles he wished to be allowed to take some brooches away on approbation, in order that he might have the lady's opinion before he con- I eluded the purchase. Thep riaoner was allowed to take away six diamond brooches, value 601., on the promise that he would bring them back the following day. Nothing was seen of the prisoner until Saturday, when witness met with him in Argyll-street, and spoke to him on the subject.— Defendant said he had been told if he gave up the brooches it would be all right. The witness Broadhurst knew who he was, when he obtained the brooches, from the fact of his having been present when he was married.—Mr. Hardwick considered that the offence took the character of a constructive larceny.—Mr. Green, who said he was con nected with the Society for the Suppression of Fraud, stated that if the prisoner was remanded, he had reason to believe other charges would be brought forward.—Mr. Hardwick remanded the prisoner until Wednesday, with an intima- Von that if good bail was procured he would accept it —The prisoner had not procured bail when the police van came rou ad for the prisoners, and be was accordingly sent to - - prison. THIS STIIIBLItO CASE DIIDLIT-STBSIIT.- - J.

EQUITY COURTS. Before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. BINCHLIFFE V. WESTWOoD.—BEQUEST TO LEGAL PER SONAL BEPRIESENTATITES.—Thos. Westwood, by his will, be queathed a legacy of 1,0001. to trustees, on trusts for invest ment and payment oC the dividends to his daughter for her life. In case she should die without having issue (an event which happened) the testator directed his trustees to pay and divide the principal sum of 1,0001. equally between and among his three sons; and in case of the decease of all or any of his eons in the lifetime of the tenant for life he gave and bequeathed the share or shares to become due upon the con tingency aforesaid of him or them so dying to his or their legal personal representatives. Two of the eons died in the lifetime of the tenant for life, each leaving a widow and children, and having made a will. Some of the children were infants.—Mr. Be Gex appeared for the plaintiff, the surviving trustee, who sought the directions of the court as to the effect of the bequest, on which conflicting opinions had been given—one to the effect that the children of the deceased sous were entitled as then next of kin, and the other that the shares formed part of the personal estate of the deceased sons, and ought to be paid to their legal repre sentatives.—Mr. Daniel and Mr. Craig appeared for the legal personal representatives of the sons, and cited 0 Smith v. Barnaby" (2 Collyer, 728.)—Mr. Metcalfe, for tke children, contended that in such a case legal personal rem., sentatives must mean next of kin, and cited " F'alin v. Hills" (1 Mylne and Keen,) 470, decided by Lord Brougham ; and " Cotton v. Cotton" (2 Ileavan, 67.)—The Vice-Chancellor said that the only argument in favour of that construction appeared to be, that according to the other one, the limitation to the legal personal representativm would be surplusage, but his Honour did not think this a sufficient reason for understanding the words in any other than their ordinary and technical signi fication. The shares must consequently be paid to the legal personal representatives. Ex SAHTE BROOK RE WILLIS.—CONTINOENT DEBT. — Thu was an appeal from the rc ti on by Mr. Commissioner Evans ea a proof fur 1,9921. Os. 5d., being the amount due upon a guarantee for half the price of 136 bales of wool. The principal debtors had become bankrupt in October, 1847, and a bill of exchange accepted by them for the price of the wool became due on January 21, 1848, when it was dis honoured. The Commissioner disallowed the proof, on the ground that this took place after the issuing of the fiat against the surety, and that consequently there was no debt at the date of the flat.—Mr. Anderdon and Mr. Bagshawe were for the appellant and Mr. Bacon for the assignees.— The Vice-Chancellor said that there was at the date of the fiat a contingent debt, and as the contingency happened be. fore proof, and before any dividend was declared, it was proeable within the meaning of the 6 Geo. IV.. e. 16, see. 56, according to the authorities, and particularly "Ex parte Myers" (Montague and Biigh, 229). CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.—Before the Recorder. MCRDEaous Arracn.—Midiael Haggerty, 28, an Irish labourer, was charged with feloniously cutting and wound ing Ellen Kale, with intent, as alleged in the first count of the indictment, to murder her, and in others to maim and disable or to do her grievous bodily harm.—Mr. Payne pro secuted, and Mr. O'Brien defended, the prisoner —From the evidence of the proaecutrix it appeared that she had been acquainted with the prisblier for some time, and on the 28th January they met at a public-house, and at night he accom panied her to her lodgings. About seven o'clock the next morning the proeecntriz get up, and the prisoner, as it would appear, without the slightest provocation, commenced a most furious attack upon the prosecutrix with a knife, and stabbed her upon the hands, neck, arms, and other parts of her body, inflicting no fewer than twenty-two wounds upon her. The prosecutrix fell and screamed " Murder," upon which the prisoner, with an oath, exclaimed, " What, are not you dead yet ? " and was again about to attack her, when the persons prisoner taken into custody.—The * Guilty upon the count charging in the house interfered, and the prosecutriz was rescued ce p , r t io nd ne th r his intention to do grievous bodily harm, and he was sen tenced to be transported for ten years. jrrour7fhott‘ied the NSW COURT.—Before the Common Seajeant and Yr, Alderman Sidney, M.P.

The disoopraging events which have acted on the funds to-day, without, however, depressing prices, however they might interrupt the current of further improvement, were not of Paris, but of other conti nental origin. The reports of constitutional move ments in various of the lesser German states, and of increasing excitement in parts of Italy, served rather to foment some uneasy apprehensions about the chances of war in continental Europe. On the other hand, the prompt intimation of the present French government, that, not only were they in funds suffi cient to cover all the current expenditure of the state, but to meet the payment of the di vidends accruing this month on three heavy classes of stock, say the Fives, the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., and the Four per Cents., assisted consider ably in maintaining oonfidence in the stability of the market. At a moment when distrust was naturally prevalent, under the circumstances of such an extra ordinary revolution, among a numerous class of state annuitants, or stockholders, in France, the Provisional Government acted wisely, moreover, in removing with all promptitude all eause of uneasiness on the more of national faith and the rights of property, by the official notice that the date of payment would be anticipated, and the dividends paid in advance by about a fortnight. Console varied but inconsiderably during the hours of business to-day, and the trans actions indeed were not of much importance. They opened at 824 to and left off at the regular hour exactly the same, both for money and account. They had been 4 both higher and lower. After the regular closing hour, however, some active dealings were reported, which carried the quotations to 824 to 3. Reduced Threes at the close were 824 to ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. shut, but done at 83 and 834. Exchequer Bills, 255. to 29a. premium. India Bonds, par to ss. premium. Long Annuities, 8 13-16 to 4. Bank Stock, 192 to 4. Foreign stocks showed partial signs of recovery, with more business, but prices still extremely de pressed. Spanish Fives were 134 to 4; the Threes, 244 to t ; Passive, 34 to t. Portuguese, 17 to 18. Dutch I'wo-and-a-Half per Cents., 44 to 5; the Fours, 73 to 5. Prussian, 97 to 100. Brazilian, 77 to 9.

No less than ten are reported as defaulters, whose names it is not necessary to cite, one of them for about a million of florins, say above R 3,000/. ; but it was believed that with some allow ance of grace he would pay in full. The rates at which it was ruled accounts were to be made up, or as said, rates of " compensation" adjusted, were—for the Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 50 ; the Three per Cents., at 60 ; the Four per Cents., at 79. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 80; the Two-and-a- Half per Cents., at 45. Spanish Ardoin's, at 14 ; Pas sives, at 4; Deferred, at 10. Brazilian, 83. Danish,l 80. Russian, 101. The rate of interest for loans and continuations was fixed at 5 per 'cent. Business was suspended till the 3rd, when further deliberations would take place. The liquidation remained fixed for the 13th inst. Although the dates from Amsterdam are brought down to the tedi they add nothing to the foregoing intelligence. From Hamburg private letters to the 4th instant announce a revolution in pelt°. The mob, or the people, congregated in a mass and demanded a re form, the particular objects of which are not stated, but, as may be supposed, refer to the existence of certain exclusive class rights and privileges by which the lower orders of citizens were aggrieved. The Senate had the sagacity and moderation to agree at once to the demand, and so the tumult was appeased. Commercial affairs were dull, and money orders sent out to Havana for sugars had been countermanded. Some extensive transactions in lead are reported, supposed to be for account of the Prussian govern ment. Exchange on England ruled nominally as before, but with few takers and no sellers of bills. Money was otherwise easy at former rates. From Hamburg it is also reported that, at a meeting of delegates of the Danish German province' of Hol stein and Schleswig, it was resolved not to accept or be ruled by the new constitution for Denmark, liberal it might be, but by their own ancient laws and privileges. And further, that the sovereignty of the German provinces belonged only to the male line of the actual Danish dynasty. The union with Denmark was otherwise disavowed, the two duchies claiming I to be absolutely independent states. Papers from Valparaiso, rid Panama, to the 29th ef December, state that a remittance of 94,000 dollars bad been made to Messrs. Baring Brothers for account of the dividend, and in part liquidation, of the Chili debt in this country. The Neighbour, an English paper recently esta blished in that seaport, states that the firm of Messrs. Alison, Cumberlege, and Co., was taking steps for making an " assignment for the benefit of creditors,' owing to the embarrassments thrown upon it by other branches." From the United States, by the Cambridge, few private letters have been received. Merchants re serve their correspondence for the mail steamers ge nerally, and except to consignees and shippers few letters come by the sailing packets now. ascii-mu FUN DS, Bonk Stock. 194 3 per et Itodueed Ann.. 82) f 3 per et Conn Anno., tiii New 34 per Ct.

The share-market was firm yesterday, with a fair business, and, towards the alose of the nay, with prices rather in advance. MEETINGS.—COLCHESTER AND STOUR VALLEY.— ila/j-grorty .Ifeeririg.—Colchester, Feb. fig.—The directors' report stated that the °erudition of the money market had induced them to male the 00s as light as psedble,and to carry on their operations under a somewhat limited expenditure. Notwithstanding this, however, the works upon the line between Marks Tey and dudbury have mate rially progressed. The directors contemplate malting only two calls in the course of the present }gar, viz., one of Si. per share in the month of Jane, and another of 21. in the month of October, which they believe will enable them to secure the opening of in. line to Bed. b early in November next. They h.rye endeavoured Isr en sururye the utmost economy in n al branches of the expenditure; ark in furtherance of this object, they hare determined that the sum sheeted to them, fixed at 700/. per annum should IN reduced to 4001. The confirmation of the agreement for leasing the line under the powered the act of last session was put off iu consequence of the postponement of the amalgamation of the Eastern Union and Ipswich and Bury St. Edmunds Railway Companies. The balance-sheet to December 31, 1807, ' , bowed the receipts to be 87,6961. 17s. M., the expenditure 19,2161. lirs. id. leasing abalance in band of 8,4091. 18.- Id. The re port :Jut its recommendations were adopted. Du BLI2I AND DROOKIDA. —Ha Ifyearly Meeting.— Dublin, Match 2.—Mr. O. Hoyle in the chair.—From the directors' report it appeared that the traffic on the line, and the &anon of the company had suffered from the m assure of the times. The contract with the General Post-office for the conveyance of her Mejestv's mails expired in September last, and the amount of remuneration was referred to arbitration. The cost of repairing the engines and car riages, and of maintaining the permanent way, were all heavy during the last half-year. In these item the directors anticipate a reduction for the future. A very alight addition to the staff would be sufficient were the traffic on the line double, as the &rectors anticipate wdl be the case on the opening of the tributaries. The works on the Mama brunch are pmgreesing in a satisfactory manner, and a portioned Ye line will soon be ready for laying the permanent way. In IMMO. of the money market during the last year the directors have ant thought it advisable to commence the extension to hells, and have Is consequence applied to the commlesioners of railways for an extension of time. The net profit to the credit of the revenue account for the last half-year is 6,6771. 55., and this sum, under ordinary dream stances, would be applicable to dividend; but the directors think is would not be prudent, under the sircumstances of the country, M divide the profits of the last half-year. They recommend this MI , hearance on the part of the proprietors, being persuaded tlmt the ultimate prosperity of the company will thereby be secured. After some &Amnion, the Chairman moved the adtles et the re port; on which Mr. Macanney attacked the general mmenenelett of the comny, and avid the law empowered shareholders to mist lee persons, whose qualifications consisted of ten shares, with foll pear and authority to inspect all accounts and documents conn ee el the company, and report on a future day. He would avail biummilif that act, and propose that a committee of five be appointed. The amendment was opposed u vote of maitre on the board, and, ea being pet to the vote, a large majority appeared in its favour. A bat lot was, however, demanded on the part of the directors; but, although the majority of the proprietors present voted fur the amend met, it was lost by a majority of 1,207 to 310, in consequence of a large number of shareholders voting by proxy.—The Chairman neat put the original motion tor the adoption of the report, and declared it to be carried, amidst much confueion and disapprohation.—Mr. Evans next moved that a committee of eight gentlemen be appointed to con fer with the directors upon tire present position and tut u prospects of the company.—The minority of the shareholders ped against the appointment of this mmmfttee, sad after a Imithmed dirceenion, Mr. Evans withdrew his mad" with the Wend= of teddinif it fgt. ward at an adjourned meeting to be held the following day. NEWBY AND ENNISICILLEN.—HoIfIygarIy Meeting.— Newry, Feb. 29.—Lord Newry in the chair.—The report stated that by the amended act of last mon it had been provided that alter the sum of 201. per share ot the capital of the company shall have been called op no further call shall be made, except with the apprsbmitheei three-lithe of the shareholder., at a meeting to be convened for the pttrpose; anti that it was the opinion of an eminent engineer that ft was impomible to eossFauet the line from Newry to Armagh for any. thing like 20i. per ohm. The director.. hat endeavoured to bring about an amicable arrangement between this imenpany and the Dub. lin and Belfast Junction Company, for the joint execution by the t w companies, or by this company alone, of the line of the Begut J.. 7.7 7 Company between Gonda and Portadown. The latter eom b an e de ared to enter into any arrangement for thbobjest, directorsentermin &confident tiopettuit the intertsts oithetharetioldera in Dant:ammonia' would inevitably lead to an arrangement between them.
