Rewire beaded that the court, looking to the divine et the form of oonsecratioa—looking to its existence as bag a period of time—looking to the authorities, ionise and English—would pause, before it interfered with and destroyed this solemn and important ceremony and big on the part of the church. T he statute Ca.st been acted upon in the reign of Edward VI., or that of Mazy, when the Roman church was dominant; bat it came into full o • and practice in the Ant year of the reign Queen Elisabeth, and had so continued until the nt time. By i it had been revived, ea the *intim of Arch Parker, at a time when the attention of the whole conrieny was devoted to the rejection of the interference of the= every step and stage of the proceedings, which his friends now said were useless forms, were taken se they bed been in the case now before the court. From Bestehen'. work it IMO AVM that every stage of the proosedings—the ems mination as to fitness—the citation of opposers—the ex =nation, on oath, of witnesses to prove the Items of the bishop—end all was done which he (Sir F. Kelly ) caw fiended s hould have been followed up in the mom sow There seat; z:ver been en instance in which .. tr aise the form had been a brogated. The books Fenn se owe instance, and he defied his learned friends to produce sail each precedent. With regard to the elution whether the citation of opposers under the law, • part of the duty of the archbishop, all history confirmed that such was the law and the usage . . The sestet preserved thaw forms unaltered, instead of dispensing with them and setting them aside ; and, this being the sue of the argument on his side, it was only by difficulties as to form that the other side had been able to raise • shadow of an argu ment. It was urged that this court had not the authority to interfere, inasmuch as the court of the archbishop had no jurisclictioa to examine witness's, and because the bishop elect was not a party. It weld not be seriously contended that so high a court es the archbishop's could not cite and ex amine witnesses—and the bishop elect might have been cited to appear, according to the practice of the ecclesiastical wart', if the libel which had been prepared had been re. caned, or, at any rate, the dean and chapter of Hereford would have been so cited. He did not exactly knoW how that might be, but certainly Dr. Hampden would have been able to have answered the allegations in some way, and have proved his fitness for the office. In Archbishop Parker's case witnesses had been examined on oath, and he could not , doubt that the same might have been done in the ease now under consideration. If thin were any doubts on the subject of the authority of the archbishop, it was most essential that they should be settled. It appeared to him, however, that there were none. As to the mode in which the archbishop was to proceed in the ease of a bishop sleet charged with an offence, this, he appnhended, was for the archbishop himself to determine, and there was no doubt he could entertain the subject, and examine witnesses in his court of audience. The learned gentlemen cited coma to show that the archbishop in his judicial character having the power of citing witnesses and administering administer justice. As to the objections which had been made to the sp ina mandamus, he conceived they were unsupported r; eati orgn a me nt. The mandamus would not interfere with the prac tice Otte opirittil court, but it would be simply the exercise of the prerogative inherent in the euperior court of compelling the inferior court to administer justice when it refused to do so. In the fuss of the " King v. The Justices of Kent" (a similar nee in point of general principle, where the jus tiees had refused to proceed in a matter, and a mandamus eau applied for to compel them to proceed), Lord Ellenborough said : "If the justices had rejected the application made to them in the exercise of the Miamian vested in them by the legislature, this court would not interfere ; but if they rejected it on the ground that they had no power to grant it, the court would interfere so far as to set the real power of the magistrates in motion. If the magistrates had beard the parties, and had determi tha ned tby the law and usage of their court those parties could not be heard, I have doubts whether this court could have lasted a mandamus." The learned counsel then dwelt upon the essential necessity of the head of the church in every district being of unimpeachable orthodoxy, and concluded with an earnest appeal to their lordships ma turely to weigh the high, the unspeakable, importance of the question now submitted to them. It h ad been complained by the solicitor-general that those who instituted these pro ceedings tended—he did not say sought—to disturb the peace of the church. Let it be borne in mind that the peace of the church might be more disturbed by the appoint ment to its higher dignities of one who leboured under • deep and wide-spread suspicion of unsoundness of doc trine and teaching, than by an honest and decorous eppositioa to such an appointment. Justice, the people, and after times would decide, rather than their lord ships, which of the now contending parties —if they eould be called contending—were most obnoxious to the imputation of disturbing the peace of the church. He would now sit down, concluded the learned gentleman, satisfied that their lordships would deal with this great and solemn question upon those high principles which had ever actuated them and - their predecessors, and which the people of this country looked for, in the decision of a question involving ell that was dear end sacred to them. The Attorney-General said, be now roes to exercise his prerogative of reply. Lord Denman said, he did not call to mind any precedent for such a course es a matter of right. The Attorne-General said, neither did he remember any precedent ; but the absence of a pre ce dent arose from the absence o f any case in which, as here, the name of the crown WY called in aid to strike a blow at the prerogative of the the crown. There was a ease, " Rowse. Brenton," where in a matter relating to the Duchy mines in Cornwall, Sir Charles Wetherall's claim to be heard in reply, as Attorney- General, was refused by the oourt,but this was because it did not appear that the crown was directly interested, the Attor ney-General not having, as he (Sir John Jervis), had here done, certified that the crown was so interested. Lord Denman said, his impression was, that in the case re ferred to, Sir Charles Wetherell had certified to that effect. The Attorney• General admitted that, on ucollection W Sir Charles Wetherell had certifie in the ease, but the heel there operated as no preemie ;ti the whole character of the Noss bang entirely distinct Lord Denman said he had some considerable doubt as to the Attorney-General's right to a reply. He considered that in all these cues it wu entirely within the discretion of the scout to my whether or no a reply should be allowed, that dead= turning upon the mune whid the orpiment. had so far taken. Sir Finny Kelly mused the claim of the - General to a reply, on the steaad dot the genet wght net to increase or extend lie peemptive et the emery which would be the effect of ganef; ellseledem to the in the absence of any stated Piewilseit.

Is the O'Connell case he had resisted a limb kr claim en the part of the Attorney4eneral,but no dui eon was come to, Sir Win. Follett waiving his claim. Lord Denman was very jealous of the idea of any vested right in counsel to a reply in these noes. He would repeat, that hi conceived it to be altogether a matter of discrellon with the court to say whether a reply should be allowed ; that the court had the clear right to prescribe the course which it deemed most convenient on the particular occasion. Oa the present occasion, it was the opinion of the court that it would be convenient to hear the4 p tto e zzGeneral in reply. The Attorney-Genera, while smelling what he considered to be a right of the counsel, fielding the office which he had the honour unworthily to fill, thanked the nun for the indulgence accorded. He then proceeded to contend that the arguments adduced to show that the rule moved for iambs& no infringement the prerogative of the crown, entirely failed in their object, and that the authority of the statute en which he and hie leaned friends relied had been fuly viadieated by the speeches and citations of the counsel on the other side themselves.

BAIL COURT. Miens la Sewn before Mr. Justicealightman. Tan QueeN a. Stu W. YOtINO AND CAPT. CHAR- 1 atria.—Mr. Cockburn applied for a rule to extend the time for bringing up Sir W. Young for judgment, and enlarging the reeef,mlisuices. Notice had been given that ueiendants were to be brought up for judgment to morrow. He moved on the affidavits of his client's attorney and medical man. The former stated that Sir W. Young had been for some time, and was at present, most seriously ill; that by the direction of his surgeon depone nt had not informed him that the trial had ever taken place, or of its result, aa he wan not in a fit state to know it; and the affi davit of his medics' men stated that it would be utterly im possible that be could attend the court to receive judgment to-morrow.—The Attorney-Oeneral said that he had con ducted the prosecution in this ease. As far as he was concerned he was perfectly willing to dis pense with the attendance of Sir William Young; but here there was this difficulty—in this case there were two defendants who were to be brought up for judg ment. On behalf of Sir William Young there was a motion to be made fee a new trial, and if the rule was granted he apprehended the matter must stand over, SI he was doubtful whether sentence could be passed on Capt. Charritie alone. — Mr. J notice Wightnian said that here two defendants had been convicted together. It might be that the court would make the rule absolute as regarded Sir William Young, and there might be no ground for making any interference with res pect to Captain Charritie, and if be was brought up for judgment and sentence wee parsed upon him it certainly would create a difficulty.—The Attorney-General stated that intimation had been given that no step would be taken by Captain Charritie in arrest of judgment. lie thought the matter might be arrnaged in this way: C apt. Charritie should be brought up to-morrow for judg ment, and his learned friend, with his (the Attorney- General's) consent, could move for a new trial in the ab sence of his client, Sir Wm. Young. If the application were granted, then the matter could stand over altogether till Sir Wm. Young was sufficiently recovered to attend. If, how ever, the rule were refused, sentence might be passed on • Capt. Chsrritis at once, and Sir Wm. Young most be pee -1 duced as soon as he could safely be brought up.—Mr. Cock burn amented to this proposition, and his lordship said, under the eireurnstanose, he would grant the learned coup ' eel's application. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. BIWA/. is Blum. ACKLAND, BAIT., O. DIILLIIN AND ANOTllll.—This we was argried upon demurrer on Monday lest. — The Lord Chief Baron suggested that the plaintiff ought to emend his replication, by averring that the defen datum, had not acted under the authority of the Tithe Com mutation Act.—Mr. Greenwood, on behalf of the plaintiff, expressed his willingness to amend in accordance with the suggestion thrown out by the court. Hums v. Lavnescs.—TEE Courerr COVIITS Acr.— Com or PIDNICIDINOS IN 80P111108 Conan.—This was an action of covenant to recover 601., and • verdict passed for the plaintiff for 61. Proceedings were commenced on the 10th of March last, • date material with rawest to the establishment of the county courts. A rule was subsequently obtained, calling' upon the plaintiff to show cause why, upon payment of 61., further pro eroding; should not be nand, or why a suggestion should not be entered upon the roll to deprive the plaintiff of coats under the provisions of the County Courts Act. — Mr. Crowder, Q.C., appeared yesterday to show cause against that rule. The question involved was, whether actions brought in the superior courts for sums under 201., alter the passing of the County Courts Act, and before those courts were actually opened or established, had been wrong fully brought, so as to subject the plaintiffs who obtained verdicts to the loss of their costs. On the 28th of August, 1846, the act of parliament establishing the new county courts obtained the royal anent. The courts were to have been opened by an order In council, but no such order wu made until the 4th of February last, and that order was merely to take into consideration the establishment of these courts. On the 9th of March last the that notice was given of the establishment of the county courts, and no plaint could have been entered in the court in which, it was said, the present claim could have been tried, until the 16th of March last, which was Ave days after the writ in the action had been baud. It was now contended that the plaintiff was authorised under those circumstances to sue in the superior courts; and as the county courts had not been then established, so as to be capable of entertaining his claim, that he should not be deprived of costs incurred in the superior court, where he had been surrcessful.—Mr. Charnock sup ported the rule, and contended that the court were bound under the 120th section of the County Courts Act, to see that the plaintiff should not recover his costs incurred in the superior court, where the debt was under 201., and the suit was commenced for the recovery thereof after the pass ing of the County Courts Act. The costs now claimed were 1201., and the plaintiff need not have incurred them, as, by waiting a day or two, when the whole machinery of the new act had been brought into ooeratioa . he could have hed his demand investigated at much less expense. As he hell dome to adopt the course he had, the court should now make him pay the penalty of his rashness.—The Court were of speaker that, before the plaintiff could be deprived of the costs he had incurred in the superior court, it should be shown that there was a county court established on the 10th of Mouth, 1847, when the present action was commenced, and that suck county court was ready and empowered to entertain his plaint. There was no such court established on the 10th of March. The plaintiff could not be compelled to wait, and he was, therefore, entitled to the natal costs of his action, for the rule had been obtained for the purpose of raising a question upon which the court entertained no doubt ; and It should, therefore, be discharged with costs. COURT Of BANKRUPTCY. before Mr. Commie Amer Goalearn. Masons. ALIZANDIRIeII ilax&norrOx.--Onoes Amour!. or peare.—The bankrupts are—Leslie Alexander and William Bardgett, merchants, of Old Broad-street. This was a meeting for the choice of assignees. Numerous proofs of debts were given. Mr. Webster, on the part of the Union Bank sought to prove for the amount of certain bills, id, accepted by the bankrupts , and dra wn b y Messrs. and Hutchinson, under whose bankruptcy the bank W elmprored on the same bills, and received a dividend or of 16e. in the pound.—The commissioner in vie& wibetiber the proof was given on the bills, or on the ssewlmteaded.—Mr. Webster said en the bills—The loci esiasser said the form of the affidavit /stopped the beak Itom Olds proof.

He was clearly of opinion that the bank co ul d only prove for the balance.—Mr. Webster said he should seek to amend the affidavit, and would submit the proof in 'moult'. form.—His Honour said he must then &edit on the question as it presented itself; as it now stood,the poet he the larger sum was clearly inadmiasible. Some amffillsealle time was occupied in receiving proofs. The owt grieved for is now 283,6811. 14a. 9d. Mr Fol- I HOeared assignee; and Mr. M'Leod (of the firm of Mend and fßannieg, of.

Roosts e. 131:rcanna.—Baiecn or Pitmans or 31[Laitaoa.—Thia wee a writ of inquiry to assess damages for the violation, by the defendant, of a contract he had made to marry the plaintiff, the defendant having ad mitted breaking the promise, by suffering judgment to go by &dealt. The damages were laid at 6001. Mr. O'Malley appeared for the plaintiff, and stated that the defendant was, at the coramenosatent of the courtship, the mate of a ship, and coomantly corresponded with the plaintiff, using terms of warm endearment. Miss Rogers's family bad emigrated to America, but she resolutely refused to accompany them, on account of her attachment oe the defendant, and the hope of their union. In 1845 the defendant, being tired of maritime life, procured a situation on the London and North Went= Railway. He again wrote to the plaintiff , impinging his joy at his success in getting a place on shore, end she, in return, wrote to him, and eougratulated him warmly upon that event. The cor rests:indices was mantained, and the defendant was pro moted to a more lucrative situation at the Banton-equare ter minus. The first mark of coolness displayed by the defendant was in a letter, dated July 13,1847, in which he said, " Your remarks upon my conduct of course Ido not notice, s evi dently they were written la ill temper." That letter was signed simply, " Yours, J. C. B."—The defendant's man ner of addressing Miss Rogers now marked the progress of hie love's decay. From "my ever dearest Maria," "my darling." he descended first " dear Maria," and then to " dear Mir Rogers." In the month of August he wrote: " You wish to know how I intend to settle ; all I tan say is, that cannot be more settled than I hen he had the cruelty to tell the plaintiff that he hitil , never been any impediment to her seeking to jr,tt settled in life ; and that she was at perfect liberty to de or take whatever course she chose.—The learned tzsinsel said those facts were gleaned from the defendant's own lettere. He had got on in the world ,• he had mixed with ladies of gayer dispositions , and whose bright eyes had not been dimmed with seven years of " hope deferred," for one who had played so heart less a part as the defendant.—All the above facts were ad mitted by the other side, so that no witnerees were called. — Mr. Cooke, for the defendant, declared that the defendant wee as much in love with the plaintiff now ea ever he was, and the only reason he had not married her wee, that his means would not warrant him. The defendant was a young fellow of 26, belonging to the sea service. He bed been cut adrift in London, and had fallen in love with the plaintiff, for whom he elways, and even now, had a respectful and proper affection. This action had been brought through the interference of a anneltief-loving sister of the plaintiff, who had circulated • report that the defendant visited places of public entertainment with a married lady. That was un true- sit least in the spirit in which it had been uttered. If the defendant had actually got married to another, or had promised marriage to another, it would have been a cruel case ; but on the contrary, he would have carried out his promise to the plaintiff, lead she given him time.—The learned Under•S' heriff leaving summed up, the jury, miter two hours' consultation, assessed the damages at 641. COURT OF EXCISE. Before T. Barris" Egg, IL P. Stephenson, ER., and C. J. Berries, Eaq. Twa Quaaw V. RENTON.— ONE THOUSAND POUND. PINALTT.—John Renton, a soap-manufacturer, 6 and 6, I Lock's-place, Walworth, was charged on three informations, with using false fastenings to his soap-copper ; with cleansing soap without giving notice to the proper officer ; end with depositing the soap, with intent to defraud her Majesty of She duty thereon.—The defendant pleaded guilty.—The court, having consulted for a few minutes, gave judgment against the defendant for the penalty of 1,0 M., and condemned the whole of the soap and apparatus that had been seised.—ln answer to • remark from the defendant as to a mitigation of the penalty, the court said that so gross a fraud having been clearly proved, and the defendanthaving also pleaded guilty to it, no mitigation whatever would be made.—lo the course of an hour a distress warrant was ex muted for the recovery of the amount of the penalty. DIALING SOAP ON BUNDAY.—AN OTHER HEAVY PENALTY. —Sophia Bertram, of No. 9, Crescent-cottages, Cambridge heath, was charged with manufacturing soap without UMW. Defendant's late husband, Monita Bertram, a foreigner, was a very ingenious person, and, having discovered a new mode of manufacturing soap, the Commissioners of Excise allowed him the indulgence of making it in smeller frames than the law allowed. The husband died about 12 months since, and the widow having made entry of the premises, the same indulgence was continued to her. On the 2nd of January, Mr. Johnson, the supervisor, went to the premises and found three frames of soap, which had been made since the taker ' left on the previous night. It was quite warm, and the de fendant's son, a youth 17 or 18 years of age, admitted that he made it, and that it was his first experiment. As the in . dulgenee of the board did not extend to such circumstances, he seised the soap.—Mr. Norton appeared for the defendant, and, in a great measure, admitted the facts, pleading for . mitigation on the ground of the great distress of the defen- I dant in establishing a business for the support of a family of nine children, who liad oothing else to depend upon.— , The appeal m ade a strong impression upon the court, as well I as on every person present, end the court recommended that he should put his statement in writing, end submit it to the board.—Judgment was then given for the penalty of 4001., sad the forfeiture of the soap.

Sharman, for nine months put a con stable is the D &widen, charged with having endea voured to induce James Walkley to assiot him in the perpe tration of a robbery of jewellery, plate, inc., at the residence of Miss Dingier, 24, Paddington-green, to the amount of 2,0001., was brought op for rare xamination.—Mr. Justin', from the &nee of Maples and Co., Old Jewry, accompanied by Mr. Collard, superintendent of the Great Western Railway Com pany's po li es, attended to prefer again st . the pri soner a charge of substantive felony, arising out of Ceates's ease. The company had nothing to do directly with this charge yet were so strongly impressed that the prisoner and Cie** were so implicated in the numerous robberies effected on their line, that they felt it a public duty to take the matter up. Coates, since his incarceration in Newgste, sent for Capt. Spongy one of the gentlemen for a robbery of whose property belied been committed by the Lord Mayor, and told him that was of his missing rings (a valuable diamond one) was pawned at the shop of Mr. George Bonham, High.street.

Ceske:FT.—Yesterday, one.half of a 61. note was re ceived by Mr. Long from "R. R.," for the poor-box of the court ; and it was stated that, upoa an acknowledgment ap pearing in the Doily News, the remaining half would be forwarded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—IWPORTZU OP ITALIAN CHILDHAN.—Juan Baptiste Raballi one of the importers of Italian children beggars , was charged with having caused, procured, and encouraged, Giovsnnt Hahne*, • boy about 12 years of age , to beg and gather elms. The defendant is one of that dam of persons named padrenes who obtain money by bringing over boys and girls, princip ally from the Italian states, for the purpose of sending them out to beg in the public streets. The boy Babtiste was apprehended in the first instance by the Mendicity Society for begging, and was brought to this court, when he was questioned by Mr. Hardwick, and as he did not deny that he was in the employ of a pedrone, Mr. Hardwick decided on holding the boy in custody until he had taken measures to ensure the ap prehension of the pedrone. The defendant was taken into custody. An interpreter having been procured the boy said, that with his father's consent he was brought to England, with four or five other chil dren, by the & fondant, who we his padrone, that he had I been some months in London, living with the defendant, in Short's-gardens ; that he was sent nut daily by the padrone to beg about the streets, and that the money he obtained this way was handed over each night to the pedrone. That he sometimes brought home tenpence, sometimes a shilling, and sometimes more ; but whatever he got he gave to the padrone. The pedrone had four of his own children over here, who went out occasionally, the same as he did.—The defendant admitted that be brought the boy over here, but not for the purpose of begging. His object was to have the boy's services is selling guinea pigs, • couple of which, in a cage, the boy had with him when apprehended. The mousy be received from the boy was for the expenses he was at in lodging and feeding him.—Mr. Hardwisk said that defendant was one of those persons who made a liv ing out of the services of those wretched foreign children who were decoyed over to this country to get money by begging. As it was indispensable to have this scandalous system put an end to, he should make an example of the defendant, in the expectation that it would operate as a warning to others. He should send the defendant for one month to prison, with hard labour, for having caused, pro cured, and encouraged the witness Babtiste to beg. BINIVOLENCI.—A lady, " R. E.," sent the half of a 61. note for the poor-box. WESTMINSTER. Hoonseuto AND ROBSEST.---.1. Clarke was charged with being concerned with • woman of the town (not in custody) with drugging end robbing Mr. Edward Hynd, grocer, of Prated-street, Paddington.-The prosecutor, who appearedl to be in a very weak and delicate state, said that he was returning from the Blacktriars-road to his own residence late on the previous night, when he was accosted by a female, and prevailed upon to accompany her to Pump-court, near Old Pye-street, Westminster. After being there a short time he gave the woman at her so licitation • sovereign to primers something to drink, and she returned with MIN spirits. She handed him • glass, but he had no sooner swallowed it than he was seised with a most extraordinary sensation. Although he was cognisant of all that passed around him, yet he was completely powerless, and while in this state the woman plundered him of kis purse, containing six sovereigns, his handkerchief, and ransacked hie pocket-book. He distinctly sew her do all this, but, from the influence of the drug that had been administered to him, was incapable of resistance. He was not aware how long he remained in this condition, but, on recovering, he was endeavouring to follow the woman from the room, when he was stopped by the prisoner, who had • male companion with him. Prisoner, in • rough tone, ex claimed, " Who are you 1" when prosecutor, recognisin g his voice as that of a person he had heard exchange a few words with the female just before he had been drugged told him that he had been robbed, and that he believed diet he (the prisoner) had been an aeoesicay to the act. Prosecutor then left the house, and was followed and abused by the prisoner and his companion. Preseentor went in guest of a constable, and, having found one, returned to the house, where he feud the prisoner and gave him into custody. On search ing the prisoner, one of the letters which had been taken by the womaa trim his pooket-book was found upon his .person.—The prisoner made • long rambling story in answer to the charts, and he was ultimately remanded until Thursday next. LAMBETH.—Aregkezen hiosoza.—Mr. B. C. Fits mayor, a landing-waiter in her Majesty's customs, who has been in custody femme days, on a charge of attempting to Reeder his wife, was again re-examined.—Mrs. Fitsmayer, wires left arm was in a sling, and her right hand bandaged, wee here swore, and deposed that the prisoner had been given to drink Ise the last three years ; and when he co* meneed drinking he remained intoxicated for • week to othily.

To the surprise of most persons, and to the satisfac tion of few, the Beak directors, at their weekly sitting this morning, came to the resolution of lower ing their rate of diaount from sto 4 per cent per annum. Speculation, and, with it, much useful deal ing in the various walks of commerce will be pro moted, but what mercantile men look to, principally, is the recurrence of a time of adjustment such as is always found to be necessary as the natural and in evitable consequence of an over easy state of the money market. The first effect of this important alteration on the value of stocks was not decided. Console, which had commenced at 891 for the account, declined to 89, from which, on the announcement of what had been done by the Bank, they rallied to the former rate of 891. After the usual hours of business bargains were reported at the higher rate of 891 I, and this was the final quotation mentioned. Exchequer Bills left off 31e. 33e. premium. In the foreign house, some considerable variations took place late in the day. They were mostly for the better. Brazilian stock was still in favour, among the class of bonds paying interest, as was Chitin, and in these was the principal movement. Peruvian stock advanced 2 per cent. It was marked as high as 41. The Spanish active 6 per cents., as well as the passive bonds, took towards the close of the meat* one of those sudden starts which are seldom whammed, except in the case of peninsular bonds. The active 6 per cents. had been all day quoted 20 to 204, inclusive of coupons marked at 12 to 13, and passive 41, when a de mend was observed on the market, and Actives were called 21 to 2, closing 211 to and the other descriptions also higher. The passives reached 4I to 4, and the holders of these interests seem to hare full faith in some arrangement being made by the Spanish government in their favour, which must greatly enhance their value. What grounds there may be for this expectation we cannot undertake to say. Portuguese stock was stationary, at recent quotations. An investigation is said by an evening contem porary to be in program at the Mansion-house relative to certain forgeries which have been discovered. The party implicated is, as it states, "of good standing." A fabrication of commercial bills, purporting to have been drawn from Calcutta, is perhaps what is alluded to. Some case of this description is understood to bel before the chief magistrate of the City, and the posi tion of the party declared to be arraigned might, in truth, be said to be of a very superior " standing " in the commercial world. A failure of some importance at Newcastle-upon- I Tyne was announced on 'Change. The firm is con- 1 nested with mining affairs and with the shiping interest, as well as with other leading pursuits of business. We are requested to state that the " Provident Clerks' Mutual Building Society," who recently held I a meeting at the. Mansion House, is " in no way con nected with the Provident Clifarks' Mutual Insurance Association, No. 42, Moorsate-street." The matter scarcely appears worth notice, for the titles of the two societies are as different as.their objects, and each of them expresses its own In as explicit a manner as possible in a simple denomination.

Ths Abate ppaappeerrs record various instances of the commercial am. barrasmenta and disasters which have been the eon. sequence in that part of the country, and of three particularly at Thann. near Mulhausen, deserv i ng of the greater notice from the singularity of the com®. stances, worthy of honourable mention, with which they were attended. The suspension of the three /mums in question resulting from involvements eirs. where, necessarily led to the stoppage of the works of their respective (cotton) manufacturing establish. menu, among the most important of Alsace, by which altogether more than 2,000 operatives were, or would be, thrown out of employ. The half of them were at once discharged, and the remainder were to share the same fate when the stock of material should be worked up. The unhappy working population, already wasted by a year of scarcity and reduction of work, were in a state of despair. Happily the commons, that is, the townspeople and authorities, came to that succour. _ _ A committee was gathered together by the laudable exertions of the mayor, who placed themselves at owe in communication with the principal creditors of than establishments, and, assisted with their concurrent); undertook to charge themselves with the remain of work in the three manufactories, so that the offro. fives should be guaranteed a sufficiency of employ. ment. Thus the commune of Thane has become ma nufacturer, buys, fabricates, and sells, in order to give bread to 2,000 of its industrious population. We learn from Liverpool that the directors of the North ani South Wales Bank have made arrange. ments for the general resumption of business at their various branches. This must be of considerable ad. vantage to the principality, where great anxiety had manifested itself, and where there exists a general desire to support the concern. The conduct of the directors and managers daring the late trying period hes, wears told, given great satisfaction. _ VIOLIIIIIFUNpa. Book 833,313, 271 200 201 3 los 033. B. La... 89.1 pa Ct.

TEN EMBERRAINIMENTS IN THE IRON TRLDR.—BIZ MINORAII, Jaw. 27.—The embarrassment of the principals at the factory works at Tipton (Messrs. Bradley), which ins noticed in the Daily News of last Friday, has proved to be correct. I learn that to-day a meeting of the creditors hoe been held at the Royal Hotel, and that a composition of 12s. 6d. in the pound has been offered. In the absence of positive information aa to the amount of the liabilities of the concern, I abstain from giving publicity to current rumours. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. PRODUCE.—MINCING-LANs, JAN. 27.
