TOatomw...lienilas 8. 380... Abenhos. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4. TWOS& who called for an advance in the Bank rate of discount as a means of repressing the too exuberant growth of projects of joint stock enter prise, may already see how limited in the present stage of speculation is the efficacy of their favourite measure. It may be that the monitory influence of the step taken by the Bank has prevented or postponed the introduction of a few weak schemes, but as a measure for arresting the flow or the commitment of British capital to new pro jects it is inoperative. Since Monday morning, when the rate of discount was suddenly raised from 4 to 5 per cent., five companies have been launched, the collective capitals of which amount to More than 3,500,0001., and have already achieved a distinguished market sucome—the shares of those which were announced on Monday being dealt in at 41, 5, and 6 prem. By the mercantile community the advance of the Bank rate has been accepted as a salutary promotion, whereas it is only some omen of a corning period of ,general distrust which will stop the creation of new companies and the lucrative traffic in new shares. In a season of confidence, while money is easily obtainable, persons inclined to speculate will not concern themselves whether the Bank charges 4 or 6 per cent. for its assistance. Numerous causes just now favour the multiplica tion of joint stock companies. First of these may be mentioned the confidence felt in the principle of limited liability, and the favour with which the public sees associations foundedon thatbuis assume the conduct of business which was formerly carried on by private enterprise. The transformation or consolidation of old private banks into joint stock institutions, and the establishment of new banks and discount companies, are lusterless of this kind. These have not only opened • new field for the investment of disposable monied capital, the owners of which could not employ it under their own superintendence, but are regarded by the classes who furnish customers to them with the preference which is commonly given to magnitude and strength. Of course this legitimate development of the principle of joint stock enter prise has been followed by a factitious and me chanically imitative movement, presenting the same outward aspect. Schemes are brought forward for no other apparent reason than because other Mailer schemes have been brought forward with success, although the fact that the field has already been occupied is often evidence that the want has been supplied, and a reason therefore for abstain ing from further action. In the class of companies just noticed the work to be done for the public was the same, but the machinery was changed. Another class of sago- I ciations break up new ground, and open sources of profit hitherto untouched by the English capitalist. Such are the various schemes for employing money in India, whether in aiding native agriculture by loans on mortgage or by greatly extending the cultivation of the tea plant. To this class are also related the banks which have been established in femign pods and capitals to promote international trade. And even at home it is possible that there exist new fields of profitable enterprise which yet remain to be explored. When the English companies formed last spring to transact here the kind of business which the Credit Mobilier Society had prosecuted in Paris, it was supposed that they would prove powerful and active engines for promoting speculative enterprise. Hitherto, however, they have made • very moderate use of their power. In fact, it would be easy to name a single institution, not professing that object, which has done more to promote the formation of companies than all the " Financial Societies " put together. Those who watch the movements of the day are familiar enough with the presence of the same or cognate names as directors on board after board of new companies. We will suppose • case by way of illustration. A bank is formed in London with connexions, and per haps anot!ier establishment, in a second great commercial city in the kingdom. Presently its founders produce the prospectus of another bank—say, in one of the colonies. The shares of the second bank are carefully husbanded and distributed to the proprietors of the first, and rise to premium. Soon a third bank, this time an institution adapted to grasp the profits of a lucrative foreign trade, is launched, and again while the co-operation of the public is invited, the bulk of the shares, maintained at a premium by the judicious management described yesterday in our columns by • correspondent, are divided among the shareholders of the original bank. The latter find that they are in the way of "good " things." Ono day • discount businessis bought and converted into a company; another a company for making advances on produce is brought out ; and it is the uniform rule that the proprietors of the parent bank shall be gratified with premium bearing shares before any others. No wonder that the shares of the original institution go up, for beside that each of the new concerns brings an account and collateral business to the bank, the share holders find themselves, under the guidance of their directors, a favoured body, and members of a great society for the unlimited creation of pre miums. Not only so, but the peculiar advantages THE of their bank getting to be understood by othela, their I own shares attain an extraordinary value. A share on which 261. has been paid is quoted at 21 pra t:Mtn; and if two issues of new shares have been made to the prOprietors in order to increase 'the paid-sp capital, the bolder of an original share finds thlt in right of it he has received within two years of t►e foundation of the bank, besides his dividends, as much as 601. the increased value of his three shares. There can be no doubt that • body of men thus associated, who have confidence in one another, and are bound together by mutual interests, may promote speculation to an enormous extent altogether unsuspected by the outside I public, who wonder at the inexplicable apprecia tion of new shares. We have drawn no fancy sketch, and the indications it supplies may help to explain some recent extraordinary phenomena of the Stock and Share Market. ire Court. WINDSOR warm Nov. 3.

The prlnesipaP dams, whose talents are well known to the public, ezezied thrombin greatly, and their vocal efforts were much aided by the excellent acoustical properties of the ball. It was attempted to encore two or three of the she, but the cells were sot unanimous, and the singers very properly did ant comply with them. The choral portion of the performance, though very grand, was not on the whole so successful us the solos. We have often protested against the monster orchestra, which have of late got so muck into vogue.

The Magdalena, which bars just arrived with the Brazil mail , brings news from the River Plate that Monte Video has been almost in a state of siege, owing to General Flores having been within twelve miles of the town skirmishing with the government troops. Monte Video was barricaded, and the national guards called out when the mail left. However, General Flores had fallen back to attack the government forces in the North, but it was expected that he would shortly approach Monte Video again. (meartVe TrlXoaaam) CHINA. THE REBELLION.

PARIS, WEEDILY EVENING. ft was somewhat, ostentatiously announced se veral days ago that the imperial printing•ofce was diligently at work at the "yellow book," in order that it might be delivered to senators and deputies at the very beginning of the session, and that they might thus possess all the information on the home and foreign policy of the country which it was in the power of government to give them. But within the last two days it has transpired that the book will not come out till after the debate on the verification of powers, and the very jejune and un satisfactory reason has been suggested that by that time the Polish question may posaiblyassume a more definite shape. The France, however, now makes an excuse which reads better, although probably it is not more true, i e., that the delay arises from the desire of the government to make the collection of diplomatic documents as ooinplete as possible up to the latest moment preceding the debate on the address. The usual resume of the home and foreign policy will be, we are told, distributed to members on Nov. 6 ; but that con coction, although, no doubt, it will be interesting, must manifestly be lees useful than the documents themselves. At the ceremonial of the opening of the law courts for the winter season, which took place to day, the absence of M. Troplong, the president of the Court of Caseation, was observed. He is still very unwell, and his inners is said to be the expla nation of a report that the Senate will not begin the debate on the address till after New Year's-day. K Troplong, it is said, is unwilling to cede the chair to a vice-president of the Senate, and he hopes to be convalescent in two months. Although this statement is repeated to me on the authority of a vice-president of the Senate I find it contradicted is other quarters, where it is asserted that the Senate will probably begin the discussion of the address before the Corps Legislatif, and certainly at the end of this month. The Preece, whose editor, M. de la Gueronnibre, is, it must be remembered, a senator, says that the work of the new team of government orators is to I be distributed as follows :—M. Rouher, the Min. biter of State, has reserved the Polish and Italian questions for himself. K Rouland, the minister presiding the Council of State, will defend the home policy and support the department of public instruction and worship. Kde Parieu, first vice-president of theoouncil of State, is charged with all questions of political economy. K Chain d'Est Ange is to do battle especially on behalf of the Mexican expedition, and besides will moist M. Rouher and M. Rouland generally. K Vnitry, the governor of the Bank of Fran°e and honorary vice-president of the Council of State, is to take the lead in finance. M. de Pomade La Roquette, who is a specialist in the customs department, will show a good front to the protectionists. As to the great affair of the verification of powers with which the new session must necessarily commence, it does not appear that the parts are yet specially distributed ; but the government bench will be au grand complet for that debate, and every member of it will be expected to do his beet to screen and white wash the prefects and their subordinates down to the garde chanspitre. The France announces, in a separate paragraph in its front page , that the " question" of the "liberty pf the theatres" has been "solved." The meaning of this is that the Board of Censors, without whose sanction no play can be performed, is to be done away with. Aa, however, their deci sion is constantly overruled by the Emperor, the importance of the step it is not to appreciate. The report from the Bourse is that the aspect of political affairs is considered better, but that of financial matters worse. Under these circum stances some speculative purchases brought the Route for account 20c. higher, but for money there is scarcely any alteration. It is feared that the Bank will raise its discount on Thursday. POLAND. A letter from Warsaw states that K Kutakowski, president of the Crddit Fonder, who was lately arrested there, has been sent to St. Petersburg to be tried. The Russian authorities affirm that he was the revolutionary head of the city and an in fluential member of the provisional government. The Wanderer of Vienna says : If Kaminski, the judge who hu just been arsaidaated at Lemberg, was little more than 40 years of age. He leaves • widow • and two children. He was formerly employed in Hungary as auditor, and partly directed the cum brought before the military tribunals. He had Una at Lemberg since 1800, and was only charged with political trials. He was • Pole by birth, and shared in the opinions of the Marquis Wielopolaki. His temper was so irascible that he some times gave way to acts of violence towards hi subordinates. lie had the management of numerous political prosecutions which are now pending before the tribunal of Lemberg. Only a small pert of them have yet been tried, se in • general way they are preceded by a preventive imprison meet of four months, sod there are rimy primers who are sot set at liberty until sitar a confinemeot of seven. It was Kaminski who caused the arrest of the deputy Ito. gawaki. The deceased wrote very little, and trusted mach to his excellent memory ; the probability therefore is, that the proofs of many important facts with which he alone was acquainted will now be Mi. STATE OF SICILY. The Corriere Sicilian gives the following picture of the state of the inland : Here we have the unfortunate heirloom of corrupt government—Onserfd ft Sicilian word meaning silence on the put of witnesses to a deed of blood). The govern meat arrests • delioqueet, and has him tried before a court, but this latter, for want of witnesses, cannot condemn. "We dare not speak," say the elan= them selves ; "the robber has powerful friends in these parts ; we might be made to suffer worth than we have to complain of ; it is better to bear with the past than to ruin the future." And so they keep the secret, and even, in order to make friends with the power ful Grimiest' and his more powerful COOlllllXiOllll, will intercede and throw away time and mooey to is,. him. The government, finding it impossible to obtain convictions, tries to apply the law on vagrants, but discovers to its cost that there are DOW/ that apply !

Well, the government trice another tack, and straining a point, arrests a notorious character withoit witnessed to support the charge. Immediately • chorus of lawyers and journals and protectors of all kinds protests against the illegality, and complains that we are wore. off than under the Bourbons. To put an end to thi s ' 1 state et things, the government has now resolved to change its tactics completely ; a commission is appointed to draw up • :Ist of the most notorious mslef•eton ; it receives evidente secretly, so that • victim may complain without fear o! the knife; the der:smithies will be inquired into, sod, if confirmed, the obnoxious iedivideal will be taken up without aeronomy and conveyed to a place of tasty.

OPP TER NORTH PORELAND.-(reni DAY.) A fearful disaster has befallen the splendid packet ship Amason, nearly 2,000 tone register, which left Gravesend on Saturday last for New York, with puathgers and a general cargo. When off the North Foreland last night she was die:owed to be on ire; and although every effort was made by the officers, crew, and passengers to extinguish the flames, it was found to be impassible, and the master (Captain Hovey) seeing that the destruction of his ship was Inevitable, announced hie inten tion to abandon her, and the boats were at once lowered. A heavy sea was running, and the wind blowing a gale frointhe N.W., which rendered the teak rather difficult, but ultimately all the pardoners and crew were safely got into the boats. The captain did not leave the ship until the flume drove him in. By midnight the ship was completely is flames. Immediately on the fire being observed from Margate, Kiapdown, and Broadatairs, the life boats were launched, and made for the burning ship to render sasiatasea. At eight o'clock this morales the ship was still burning fiercely, and was drifting towards Broadstairs. A number if boats were round her, but it was impossible to get near the &hip owing to the great heat. The fore and manmade fell by the baud about one. o'clock. Nothing appears to have bees saved from the .hip, the pathogen and crews losing everything they except the cloth they had oe. They were atLaded Margate about 9 deb* this morning. STARVATION AND DRAIN IN SHOREDITCH. ALLEGED PARISH INHUMANITY An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, at the Prince Breast tavern, Dumber road, Shonditeh, lest sight, reepectug the death of Be.. }wen Meozie, aged 49 years, who was alleged to have died from refreshen. The jury proceeded to view the body of the which was so shockingly semislated that it was ked that he appeared to have been 70 yeas of age. ll= room in which he lived and died had an appearance of squalor and misery imposible to describe, its only furniture being • broken chair sod • ricketsy bedstead, apparently without any bed or bed sloths The wall', floor, ito., could sot has been cleaned sr repaired for yeas.

For the last two or three weeks deceased was unable to work, he was se ill. Neither decemeed nor witoom bad sough to eat. Sometimes they bad a bit of dry breed, and occasionally they got a drop of tea. They could not get food. Witmer earned 2a. 3d. io • week. A pennyworth of oasis used to be bought, though they could not afford it, be. caimans's= was add, and bad • cough. Last Ronda y week deceased went to the workhouse to be taken in, and be was told that he should go before the board of guardians on Wednesday. He went before them and asked them to take him in, but they refused to do so, and gave him instead an order for Is. and a loaf of bread per week for four weeks. Deceased was totally unable to work at the time. He could hardly walk. He got his relief on the Thursday, sod as ' order for the doctor. Oa Saturday morning wittiest found him dead by his side. Wilcox, could not tell the cause of his death unless it was the excitement of going before the sh people. perish By the Ootemer—He told wither distinctly that he asked them to take him into the boos, sad they refused.

The body was ax. ternally emaciated—somewhat emaciated. The Coroner said that he and the jury thought it was considerably emaciated. Witness said that deceased's death bad not arisen from want. There was • large aneurism of the aorta, the rup tare of which was the cause of death. Starvation had only prolonged deceased's life. (La ug hter.) The Coroner said that it wosid hardly be contended that 1 1 it was with that motive that the board of guardians refused I to admit into the house • man unable to work, without food or warmth, and so reduced as to be hardly able to walk.

"ELLIN. —THE CASE or TB" The Attorney-Oeneral (with whom wan the Solicitor. General and Mr. T. Jona) said he attended their loniships this morning, in consequence of • suggestion thrown out by them yesterday, which had reosived the careful attention of the counsel for the crown. They found that it wise in their lordships' power, if they thought fit to exercise it. by an act to be done this day, tow apply the Common Law Procedure Act as to give au appeal in • cue of this description on the rem= side of the court. The 26th sec. of the Queen's Remembrance: AM, 22 and 23 Vie., saidillit should be lawful for the Lori Chief Baron sod two or members= of the Exchequer from time to time to mats roles and orders as to promos, pres% and pleading on the revues side of the court al mi ght em to them neceoeury, end also by Nook rules and to adept any provisions of the Commix Law Procedure Act, and any rules of pleading and parties on the plea side to the revenue side of the court, as might sem to them expedient for making the proems, hr., on both sides as nearly as might be uniform. The leaned counsel mid be thought that their lordships could under that section make an ceder which would meet the present cue. The Lcrd Chief Baron—Why cannot your motion be made to-morrow, or, indeed, at an 7 time The Attorney-General seed it occurred to him that it might possibly be too late to-morrow. ' The Loed Chief Baron—l am inclined to think that tn= that section the court could make such an order u you sug gest at any time. Mr. Baron Bramwell said the revenue rules made under the section in question were originally proposed in the Queen's Kemembrancer's office, and he had himself • good deal to do with them. The omission of the right at appeal in revenue mess was intentional on the part of those who prepared the rules, who thought it wpm not expedient to Rive such power. He was, however, not aware of the omission at the time, as his attention was not celled to it, but he now thought that what was a good rule in an ordinary civil case must also be a good rule in cases oer the revenue side of the court. If, however, they thought each a rule should be inserted, they should not sdopt it without consideration and on the spar of the moment, lest in doing so they might reverse something which had been pre viously does by the court. The Attorney-o=ml said it had of course been his duty to consider whether any public inouvenience would arise in other cases by ranking such a role, sod his strong impres sion was that there was not, and that the rule was very de sirable. The Lord Chief Baron—l quite agree with you, and on the present occuion I should be dispose' to concur in any mode, short of a violation of principle, which would give effeet to your desire for so appeal. I owe, after the ex perienoe I have had in this court, that I see no reason why there should not be ma appeal in a revenue case as in other cases. At all events there ought to be power in the court to grant an appeal if applied for, la they thought St it should be given. Mr. Baron Pigott entirely ooncurred in the view taken his leriahip, which he thought comemet with the spirt of modern legislation, which gave the petition of right and costa against the crown. The Lord Chief Berea mid as the court entirely concurred in the view of the learned counsel, he thought the better coarse would be for the come to adjourn earlier than usual for the porpoise of seeing whether the rale should be made. As his learned brother said, the matter ought not to be decided in a hurry ; sad if the learned mussel attended to-morrow morning they would tell him whether the alteration in the rem would be made. Ho presumed that if they granted the applica tion the Attorney-General would simply move for a new trial oa all the grounds which might occur to him. The Attorney•General—lf your lordships make the rule Pr ,no doubt I shall do so. Terl d ,ord Chief Baron—l think that would be the better mune to adopt, because it will enable you to make every objection which can reasonably be urged to what passed at the trial, and to whatever it may be thought had misled the jury. The Attorney• General—l am much obliged to your lord- The Lord Chief Baron—Uotortunately I wan u comment. cation with the late Attorney-General alone on this subject, and with no other law of of the crown ; and if he had not resigned I bad some intention of suggesting to him the propriety of almodoniog the bill of exceptions, and moving on any point which he thought presented a fair monad for a motion. Now that the impediment is likely to be removed, and a revenue case placed on the same footing as any other proceeding undoubtedly a motion for a new trial would be far better than a bill of exosptioes which coven various old technicalities which under a better and more enlightened system may be got rid of. The court then deferred their decision until to-morrow morning, when, it they wide the alteration proposed, it was understood the AttorneyGeoeral would m►ke a motion fora new trial raising all the point* in the ems. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) NEW WIWI; COUNCIL _ . _ The new Queen's Counsels, Mr. George Loch, Mr. Wm.

Dr. —7 B Melo or e pauon • ; Dr. Dante, Q U., end Yr. T. J. Clerk for the defeodaets. --- The testator, Joseph —, *cakes, a butcher, died at Sheffield so the 314 of January last, at the age of 31. He left a small property, which by a will propounded by the execu tors, the plaintiffs, he bequeathed to his idiot twin sister for her life, with remainder to three other sisters. Probate wee resisted by his widow, to whom he hid been married about a year and a half or two years, on the ground of want of capacity and undue execution. The imputation of fraud was, however, withdrawn ; and after hsarieg the plaintiffs' cam, the defence wu altogether abandoned. The court, therefore, pronounced for the will, but, by agreement, made no order aa to costs. ARCHES COURT. (Before Dr. Lushiostoe, Dean of Arches.) GOUdll AND CARTMORTV. iOWES.—CHURCII-iATES. This long-pending case on church-rates, before reported in the Expruft, came on to-dey for tegument. The point rained was sa to 16a. lid. by the churchwardens of St. Mary, Shrewsbury. The defendant, a parishioner of Leigh too, appealed, and cootended that he was sot liable for the repairs of the church of St. Mary's, Shrewsbury. Dr. Robertson and Dr. Tristram appeared for the church wariets ; and Dr. Deane, Q.C. and Mr. Foster for the de fendant. It was admitted on both sides that the legal question raised was of considerable Importance. It was ander Lord Blandford's Act that an order is council had been made. Dr. Deane raised two objections to the rate—first, that there bad been no relioquillement of the fees of the db. trict united, with the chapelry of St. Mary, Shrewsbury; and secondly, that an attendee° had been made in certain windows out of subscribed funds, and when exhausted the parish was asked to make up the difference, which he cos tended could not be dote. His lordship was occupied ewer:it hours on the question of " repairs," ani fluidly the matter stood over. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Costiraiseioner Holroyd.) IN Et JOHN NEIKLAN.
