The Lord Chancellor said that if there was hilliness enough for the court Without that case, it might stand over • but the court conk' not allow a part of the day to lie lost'. The parties or their solicitors were to n blame for having the cause set down, as they were not prepared, ad that they knew last night. The court wan occupied up to half- t four o'clock pas • with other case% and the one above mentioned was, on Mr. Lee's application, at the rising o f the court, taken out of the list. DAVIS V. CIIESTEIL—LIMITED ADMINISTEATION.—In this appeal from a decision of the 'Vice-Chancellor of Eng land, the main question argued was, whether a defendant who took tut limited letters of administration to an intestate who had been; interested in the subject matter the suit was sOffitientle "Instituted a r enretentative of the intestate., 1"" assisting been fullylrgued, sue The Lord Chancellor said he should cobsider the s. that were cited, and also confer ve;ith ~t the rojous Eceleanietical Judges) on their practice in granti:4 adm h,i, before he could decide the question, If the practice he, that none but a Itiuiman or Creditor of an intestate is entitled to full , administretion to constitute hint a proper representative, and if the parties in this suit who were so entitled declined to administer, justice ought not to be steeped from the, plaintiff or other parties who did all that was in their power. Before the vice-Chancellor of Enema. SPOTTISWOODE O. CLARILE.—INJUNCTION.--COFTRIOIT ea --PICTORIA L ALMANACK. —This wtill an application behalf of the plaintiff, the well-known printer and pub lisher, for an injunction to restrain the defendant from printing and publishing an almanaek, being an imitation of a work published by the plaintiff, entitled The l'ictorial Altnanack, Royal Year-Book, and Astronomical end r , with a woodcut in the corner representing the Obseefrvator dant y at Greenwich. The Almanack published by the den was entitled in the same manner as that of the plaintiff, with the addition of the words 0 Old Moore's Family Almanack," and a description of the persons fur who them it was i n tended. An illustration was also placed in corner representing the summit only of the Greenwich Hospital. The general appearance of the defendant's almanackstrongly resembled that of the plaintiff's, and was considered likely to injure its sale. Mr. Bethell and Mr. Hallett appeared in support of the application. The Vice-Chancellor granted the injunction. TERRY O. AGAINST A GUARDI/..N FOR AN ACCOUNT.—The arguments in this case (which was reported in this paper on the 25th of November) were concluded this morning. The suit was instituted against the guardian of a young man, named Edward Edenden, who was addicted re d his of excessive intemperance, which had greatly impaired his intellects, for an account of moneys said to have been paid to the defendant John Weeher, for his benefit. Much evidenre was produced on behalf of the plaintiff, the representative of Edward Edenden, who died in 1842, for the purpose of proving that the defendant had received the money in a fiduciary character, and evidence was also produced by the defendant to show that he had regularly handed over whatever he had received to Edward Edenden, except when he was requested to pay bills on his account. The Vice-Chaacellor said, the only question was, whether the evidence su fficiently proved that the detendan t den. lie had acted in a fiduciary char acter towards Edward Eden thought it was clear that the young man through hie habits of intemperance was at times unable to control himself, and, in fact, was wanting in intellectual power, but, at other times, when perfectly sober, he was capable of managing his affair., and was well able to make his own will. It appeared that the annuity to whic h to was entitled, amounting, et first, to 500 1 ., and afterwards to 1.0 001 . per annum, was paid by his father's executors to Mr. Watcher, and by him was handed over to the young man. His Honour considered that the very act of receiving the money proved that the defend ant had taken upon himself a fiduciary character, and thatt it was consequently coupled with a trust. Ile thouaht that he evidence on both sides had been overstrained, and some of the real facts lot sight of. What was now to be de cided was, whether he should allow an action at law to be brought, or whether there should be an account taken in equity. Ile coneidered, that under the circumstances of this case, he should he deciding contrary to all the great principles of the court if he did not hold that the defendand had acted in a fiduciary character. An account must therefore be taken of the moneys received by the defendant for the use of Edward Edenden after the death of hie father. THELLUSSON V. LORD RENDLESH AM.—SPECIFIC PEA FORMANCK OF AN AGREEMENT REFUSED ON THE GROUND OE U eeenraieere.—This was a bill filed by Charles Thellus son, one of the descendants of Peter Thelltuwon, decessed,who ex ecuted the well-known wi ll of April, 1796, against the present Lord Rendlesham, praying that he might be admit ted tenant of the Btexleworth estate in Yorkshire, under a parol agreement made previous to the passing of an act of parliament, under which the defendant entered into the possession, and became the manager, of all the property of the testator, for the benefit of different branches of the Thellutieon family. The alleged agreement was that in case the said act of parliament should be passed, and a lease should be ranted g in pursuance thereof, the plaintiff should have the right of becom'ng the tenant to the lessee of Brodsworth-hall, to hold the same from year to year for so long a time during the existence of anv such lease) under the act of parliament as the plaintiff might choose, at the fair annual rental or value of the same. A further agreement was alleged to have been entered into, that the plaintiff, who had sot then sufficient income to' occupy Brodsworth-hall, should be allowed to de so et the expiration of seven years. Tti 'Mil stated various communications be 'Men menthe:* of the family to confirm these agreements. A demurrer was put in, on the ground that the agreement was not in writing, and that it was too vague for the court to enforce.--Mr. J. Parker and M Mr. Renshaw appeared in support of the demurrer ; and Mr. Bethel! and r. Heaven for the bill. The Vice-Chancellor said it was perfectly true that the court could enforce family agreements of this nature used , but then it was necessary that such terms should be as would explain the intention of the parties. The agreement alleed to have been made in this case was, that the plaintiff should be at liberty thold the property for as long a time as he might choose at a fair rental. According to this he might choose to be tenant for 100 years, and how was the fair rental to be determined The whole affair was left in so vague a state that it was impossible for the court to enforce the performance of the agreement. The demurrer must therefore be allowed. Before VW-Chancellor Wigram. Iluoitga v. LIPSCOMBE.—VENDOR AND PURCHASES.. The facts of the case are mentioned in our impression of yes terday. Upon the question of costs, the decision upon which had been reserved, his Honour now observed, that and the w pur chaser, whose purchase wa s sought to he set aside, ho had taken no part in the squabble in the auction-room, should, at all events, be protected as to costs. The proper course appeared to be, to make the usual order for opening the biddings, and to direct the cost of the affidavits a nd of the motion to be paid by the mover. P RE STON V. WILSON.—REDEM w PTI hi ON was argued in SUTT.—Ilis Honou Nov Nov. delivered judgment in this case, ch last. The bill was an ordinary bill for the redemption of premises, which were mortgaged to the defendant for 1,2401. The relief was resisted by the defendant, on the ground that, by an indenture dated on the 17th December, 1842, the plaintiff, in consideration of five guineas, had conveyed ty of redemption in the premises to the de fhe equity uit endant. This, on the other hand, was denied by the plaintiff, who stated that he had been induced to sign the indenture in question upon the representation, and under the belief, that it was merely an authority to the tinanta to pay their rents to the defendant as mortgagee in possession.— His Honour, after referring at length to the evidence in the cause, which was of a contradictory description, directed that two issues should be taken to law ; the first to try whether, before the 17th of Dec., 1842, an agreement for the sale of the equity of redemption had been entered et into bween the parties; and the second, to try whether at the time of exe cuting the indenture the plaintiff was aware of the real par• port or effect of the paper. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittieita at NiA Prim. Before Mr. Justice Erie. 'ftXotei o. DALTON.—TROVEII.—This was an action of trove?, brought by a servant against her master, for detain ing her box of clothes. The servant left without giving no tice, and the articles in question being detained by her master, in two days a writ was served on the defendant, and this action was brought without any demand having been made, so as to complete the conversion. The jury somewhat un expectedly returned a verdict for the plaintiff, for the value of the goods, and 251. damages. The learned judge gave leave to move to enter a nonsuit. COURT OF REVIEW. Ex PARTE LAW RE HENNEDY.—VALVATION OF ANNUITY Fon THE PURPOSE OF SET-OFF.—The assignees in this case had brought an action against the petitioner for a debt due to the estate. The petitioner was also an annuity creditor of the bankrupt, and applied to the commissioner (Mr. Evans) to have the annuity valued under the 6 George IV., c. 16, s. iii, for the purpose of its value being set off in the action. The commissioner held that he had no juris diction to value the annuity , un l e ss the petitioner tendered • proof upon it. The present petition was an appeal from this decision. Mr. Parsons appeared in suppo rt of the peti tion, and Sir F. Simpliinion for the assignees. The Chief Judge could not say that he should have differed from the commissioner in the construction of the act. The cane of a claim of set.off by an annuity creditor had probably not occurred to the tamers of the act. If the petitioner, however, submitted to the jurisdiction of the court, the action of the assignees might be stayed, and the whole matter decided by the commissiener, which would give the peti tioner the - benefit of his act-off. The petitioner agreed to this course, and au order was made accordingly. EE P A RTE BILYESTER RE DRACON.--OFFICE FEES OF 101. AND 201.—This was another of the eases which have come so frequently before the court, as to the right of th l. e public treasury to have the office fe es of 201. and 10 retained where there has not been and is ant likely to be any choice of assignees ; the act only directing the payment of those fees upon the choice. In this case the solicitor at the petitioning creditor was the petitioner, and sought pajneent of his bill, which would nearly exhaust the fund realised. The commissioner declined ordering the payment, on the ground that, AS the fund had been paid over to the Ae coiunant-Genersl, he had no jurisdiction. —Mr. Sturgeon appeared in support of the petition, and the Chief Judge, after reading the clauses of the act, said that as the majority of the London commissioners differed from him upon this point, he had considered the question, but could not come to any other conclusion than that at which he had arrived in the former cases. The clauses in question imposed a tax upon the subject, and before it became payable, the precise event in which payment WAS directed must be shown to have happened. As that event bad not occurred, the right of the petitioner ought not to be delayed, and the order must be, as in the former cases, for payment of his ha t Ex PARTE PERRT Rs PERRY.—COSTMF BANERUPT Aft...LYING FOR LEAVE TO SURRENDER.—Mr. Singlake appearbd in support of this petit:on, which was that of the bankrupt, who aka to be at liberty to surrender to the fiat, though the time for surrendering had expired. He had been on the continent, and had not heard of his bankruptcy till the time had passed over. He stated in his affidavit that he left England in consequence of his embarrassments. The Chief Judge : In what part of the was he, that he did not see an English newspaper Waste wander ing in the desert ?—hir. Kinglake suggested that under the circumstances the bankrupt would not be likely to resort to the English newspapers for agreeable information. The general rule war, that a bankrupt applying to surr ender was allowed his coats. The Chief Judge said that this must be subject to an ex ception in the case where the bankrupt's ignorance of the proceedings against him proceeded from his leaving England to avaid payment of his debts, or, as he much mare geneelly expressed it, " in consequence of his embarrassments." COURT OF COMMON PLEAS., WESTMINSTER. Neu Part's—Before the Lord Chief Justice ace.'..,. WI". WAREHAM o. PILkNCE AND °TREWS. Tun Gass: WESTERN RAILWAY RoRRERIEs.—This ease was resumed this morning, and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins rose to address the jury in reply. The learned counsel made a most eloquent speech, which occupied the attention of the court for nearly three hours. He contended that the whole of the plaintiff's conduct in reference to the transactions in question eras quite consistent with innocence. In visiting Maynard during hit confinement in the Compter, he only exhibited an honest friendship towards a man whom he believed to be worthy of his regard. lie had followed him in his disgrace when others had deserted him, but it was not to be insinuated that, because he went to see him under such circumstance*, he was cog nisant of his guilt. The learned counsel also urged that the trial of the cause had been delayed by the defendants, on the ground that they might obtain the evidence of Maynard and Garrett. Maynard was present in court, under the authority of a warrant from the Secretary of State, but he was not called. The statement of Garrett had been pro duced in evidence, but it did not tend to prove that the plaintiff Ind a guilty knowledge of the offences committed by Garrett, nor that he had assisted in enabling him to escape the hands of justice. lie submitted, however, that, su pposing there was any reasonable and pro suspecting cause for anspeeung him, the defendants had established an legal answer to the action. In the first place there was no had evi dence, as against the plaintiff, to s how that any felony been committed, much lees to prove that the plaintiff was cognisant of any felony. The justification pleaded by the defendants bad not been proved, and he (the learned counsel) trusted that the jury would, by their verdict, ex press their indignation at the manner in which the feelings of a poor man ha d been outraged by persons occupying a higher station in society; and that they would give him ample compensation for the injury he bad received. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up the case, observed that the jury had just he ard a very eloquent speech, andhad it bad often occurred to him (th e learned judge) that more been said to juries in reference to their not relying on the speeches of counsel than was strictly correct. It was ic hue e r duty of counsel to point out to the jury their partula views in respect of the evidence ; and their observations were deserving of attention, as far as they enable the t it jury to ascertain the true hearing of th t at thehe e must not be viden might ce; bu was right he should rem ind the jury y guided by any eloquence or wit which might be displayed by e nd star r ed gentlemen on either side. They were to attend strictly to the facts, and to those facts alone which bad been proved in evidence. The questions for them to decide were, whether, upon the pleas which contained the justification, there was sufficient evidence to show that the plaintiff had any knowledge of the felonies committed by 1 Maynard and Garrett, and that he had taken measures for preventing their being brought to justice. The defendant prance had pleaded the general issue, " Not guilty," in addition to the pleas put forth by the other sisfandanta, and in his (the learned judge's) opinion, tea evidence produced in contradiction of the statementh a t t Xi. Prance had assisted in the act complained of, g[ have induced the learned counsel to abstainln r from pefere ress nce in to g the case any further a g ainst that person. the other two defendants they would be entitled to a verdict, if the jury believed, from the evidence, there was reasonable cause for suspecting the plaintiff. lf, on the contrary, they should be of opinion that the defendants had no cause what ever for taking him into custody, and for locking him up at the railway station, they damages nd their verdict for the plaintiff, and estimate the damagaccording to the extent of injury which they might think he had sustained. The jury retired, and after an absence of an hour and i three quarters, returned into court with a verdict for the 1 defeadant, Prance, on the issue of Not Guilty, but in respect of die charge against Collard and Nash, they found for the plaintiff; damages, one farthing.—llis lordship refused to certify. —The speech of the learned counsel in reply, and the summing up of the learned judge occupied the court from half-past nine in the morning until nearly three o'cl O'CONNELL V. O'CONNOR AND ANOTHER.—LISEL.—Mr, Serjeant Dowling and Mr. Percival Banks for the plaintiff ; Mr. Seeant Wilkins Wilde for the defendants. The plaintiff in this case was Mr. Wm. John O'Connell, a gentleman who (according to the statement of the learned counsel) had been for many years engaged in this l earn ed counsel tr y as an ac ti v e supporter of the doctrines of " repeal," is defendants were Mr. Feargus O'Connor a nd Mr. Joshua Robson, the proprietor and publisher of a newspaper called the Northern Star and Leeds General Advertiser. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for a libel which appeared in that paper on the 3rd Angola, 1844. The defendant, availing himself of Lord an ap o Campb elogy, ll's new act relating to the law of libel, bad pleaded and had paid 61. into court. The libel in question was as follows: One of the reuons why the London repealer object to the payment (which objection has called forth the conduct complained of) of Wm. John O'Connell is, that he is compelled to be out of the way all the week, fearing an arrest, and can only be seen out on Sundays. Ile has been living with a lady of the name of Moss, who entrusted him with money to pay bills, to the tune of two or , three hundred pounds,. and he, instead of paying the bills, having other wise employed the cash, she wiskes to arrest him, in the hope that the Asociation (meaning the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland) will pay the money to save him from disgrace. All this be publicly acknowledged at the St. George's Ward."—Mr.Serjeant Wilkins addressed the jury for the defendant, and contended that the following apology, which appeared in the Northern Star, on the 31st of Die same month, in which the libel was published, was amply sufficient to express the defendant's regret, and to vindicate the character of Mr. O'Connell : I hare for some time back noticed a kind of running fire about your conduct in the Northern Star newspaper. As soon as I saw a very uncalled for and unpmvoked attack upon you in the columns of that paper, I made inquiries as to the source from whence these charges came, and, as I employ ,reporter exclusive l y for communicating the proc corre eed- i ng s at repeal meetings , I res olved on discharging my present spondent from that office, if he bad commenood its undertaking by what I consider a very unjustifiable attack upon your private chit- ratter. I learned, however, that he was in no way ootutected with the gander in question. I now think it due, to ray coutry, to you, and to myself, to state, in confirmation of whit I have asserted at a public meeting, that not only was the report in question inserted without my knowledge, but that, further, the moment I perused it I communicated my strong disapprobation of it to the editor. I may further add, that what IA slanderous and spiteful in the communica tion I wholly disbelieve, while what may be true is many agood sasa's cave. I trust, air, that neither I nor the Northern Star iwil am bs made the instrument of weakening whatever power you may have to organise Irish hatred against Dudish oligarchical misrule, while yon must prepare yourself, w bile engaged in such an undertaking, for the criticism of friends as well as the unmerited slander of foes. Trust ing that this explanation will be the more acceptable for being a voluntary correction of what I believe to be a gratuitous and un merited falsehood, I (Main, J . your obedient servant, nasal:ls O'CosNori.—Addreased to "W. J. O'Connell, Inspector-Genus' at Repeal Wards in England." After reading this apology, the learned counsel for defence urged that th e p a p er being published in Leeds, and Mr. O'Connor being a resident in London, there was some g round for exonerating that g entleman from all knowledge of the libel previous to its publication. lie had entrusted the conduct of this journal to persons whom he believed he could depend upon, and when he found that his trust had been betrayed, he expressed his strongest dis approbation.—A person who had formerly been a reporter on Mr. O'Connor's paper, was then called to prove that at a meeting of the Repeal Association in Seymour-street. Somer's town, he read the apology to Mr. O'Connell, and he replied that " It was most ample, that it was very gentle manly of Mr. O'Connor, and that he knew he would not do him an injury withou t a cause." It appeared, on cross examination, that the witness who gave this testimony had been a repeal warden, and that Mr. O'Connell had expressed an unfavourable f e eling towards him.—Mr. Serjeant Dowling having replied, the learned judge summed up, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 601., including the 6/. paid into court. --- COURT OF EXCREQIIER. ties Fan , . Before Sir F. Fetlock, C. 8., and a Common Jury. CROCIFORD O. LORD DIAIDSTONE.—CLURS. — COMION GAMINO-HOUSEB.—Mr. Rumfrey, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. W. C. Rowe), opened this case on behalf of the plain tiff, Mrs. Sarah Crockford, executrix of the late William Crockford, who had been for ma n y years manager of the well-known club in St. James's-street which bore his name. The action was brought to recover 20 guineas for the use and occupation of the club for the year 1840 (being 10 guineas' subscription, and a similar sum the entrance-fee on election thereto), and 751. for dinners and wines. The defendant pleaded, first, payment of 37'. 17s. 6d. into court, in dis charge of the last-mentioned demand, and " never indebted" with respect to the remainder. In addition to those pleas,he also pleaded "that the said club was a common gaming house." If the defendant had not been represented by counsel, he (Mr. Rumfrey) could not have believed that the eldest son of the Earl of Winchikea, the head of one of the richest and mat ancient families in England, could have condescended to such a defence as that now set up. In 1824 the club, known as Crockford's, was established, under the srupices of the Dukes of Wellington and Richmond, and assegai other distinguished members of the aristocracy con neeted with the turf and the government. It continued under the management of the late Mr. William Crockford until 1811, when a committee of management undertook the control of it, although it still bore its former name. In April, 1840, Lord Maidstone was elected a member of the club; sad the present action was brought, not only for his subscription and entrance fee for that year, but also for dinners and wines supplied to himself and to a lady who lived in Bolton-atreet, under his Lordship's protection. The most expensive dinners and wises were supplied to that lady by the defendant's direc tions, although not one fa rthin g had ever been paid for them, until the present action was commenced, and 371. were paid into court. The late Mr. Crockford died in 1844 nd , having ceased, in 1841, to be the manager of the club, a his executrix, the present plaintiff, did not seek to recover more than the sum which accrued due, during the year 1840, while he continued manager. The defendant married a daughter of a nobleman, who was a member of the very club which was now described upon the record to be " a co mmon gaming-house;" but, the demand for which the action was brought was no gaming debt; it was for wines and dinners supplied to the defendant himself, and to others at his instance ; he had associated at that club with the noblest men in England, and yet he had the mean- ---------- neesto rely upon the paltry deknee that he should he exempt ed from the payment of any debts contracted with a person who kept a gaming-house ; when the ease was reported and the defendant's highly respectable connexions heard that he had himself defended upon such grounds as these, no doubt he would bitterly regret the course he had taken. Without the fear of contradiction it might be asserted that Crock ford's Club was frequented by the noblest and the atest men in England, yet Lord Maidstone objected, as his defence to an honest demand, that it was a common gaming-house, because (to use the words of the plea), " the said William Crockford had therein caused divers idle and edisposnd ed persons to congregate and come to p la y together at divers a very many unlawful games for lucre and run." Amongst the " divers idit and evilAlisposed persons ' were the Dukes of vrelunoroo,Broaore, _Argyle, Richmond, Rutland,and Leeds.

In support of the case, W. Simmons (hall-porter at the club) proved the attendance of the defendant there from time to time during the year 1840, and that he had dined i there frequently. Hazard and whist were the principal games, but rouge et noir and roulette were never played there, The members played during the afternoons, and generally commenced about two o'clock. Mr. James (cross-examining): Did you ever hear from the late Mr. Creator& that Lnrd Maidstone bad lost 60,0001. e there ?—Witness : No ; nor from any one else ; I don't believ he ever did; Lord Maidstone was about 25 years of age when be became a member of the club ; there were several other members younger than he. Lord Alexander Lennox and others were much younger. Did not think Lord De Roos proposed Lord Maidstone, as Lord De Roos was dead in 1840. —At this stage of the caae the Loyd Chief Baron said it was too late to proceed further, and it was accordingly adjourned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commissioner Evans. SPIPENSION OP CEILTIFICATE.—THE DRAPERY TRADE. —The bankrupt, named Stretton, who carried on the drapery trade at Camden town, applied for his certificate.—lt appeared from the balance-sheet, that the deb ro ts were 2,8141. 17s. Id., the prope rt y g iven u p was 7501., pperty the hands of creditors, 2831. 14s. 7d. ; the profits were stated at 3441. 10s. 2d., while the expenses (trade) were 667/. 14s. 3d., and the personal were 8111 17s. 10d. ; the losses aho exhibited a very considerable item (9111. 18e.) —Mr. Cooke opposed the immediate grant of his certificate to the bankrupt upon the ground of reckless trading and extravagant expenditure, but the assignees acquitted him of the frauds which they suspected when he was last before the court —Mr. Duncan a ged tion the youth and inexperience of the bankrupt, as some justifica for his conduct. Ile took the business without capital, and it was now admitted upon the part of the assignees that no fraud attached to his dealing. His utmost offence was " folly," and not fraud, and, therefore , he (M r . Duncan) hoped that if the certificate was not granted forthwith, the suspension would be for the shortest possible period consistently with its sense of justice by the court. Mr. Commissioner Evans said, I am glad that the charge of alleged fraud has been abandoned by the assignees as being unfounded in fact, hut I cannot, by an immediate grant of the certificate, allow this young man to go out upon the world, nor until he is afforded time for some further experience in the management of business. His conduct as a trader demands censure, and in suspending his certificate for eighteen months , I am onl y performing my duty to debtors, to creditors, and the public. Protection was grantcd from month to month. POLICE Y _ESTERDAT. MANSION-HOUSE. —EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AND SIN GULAR Devecrlosx—Hugh Roberts and William 2lfarahall were placed at the bar, the former charged with having robbed his employer, Mr. Evans, of No. 131, Cheapside, of Bandanas and other handkerchiefs to a very considerable amount, and the latter with having received the goods know ing that they sad been stolen.—George Todd, City police man 709. stated that on Wednesday evening he took a man named Upson, whom he found drunk in the street, to the station-house in Bow-lane, and found the black handker chief with white spots produced upon him. Upson was sub sequently admitted as evidence against the two prisoners at the bar. Mr. D. Evans, of No. 131, Cheapsiie, warehouse man, stated that the prisoner Roberts was in his service. On Thursday last Ev erett, a policeman, called upon him, and in consequence of a communication which took place between them he went to speak to Roberts, who was then in the warehouse. Having shown to Roberts the handker chief alluded to, and said that a man was in custody u about that it; that prisoner said , " I may as well confess to yo I have taken a piece of handkerchiefs. You may pro secute me, for lam tired of my life. I have not had he a moment's peace for some years.' Witness asked him if was sure that he had not taken anything else, to which he replied that he had taken nothing else.— John Upson, of No. 68, Queen-street, Cheapside, stated that he had been in the warehouse of Messrs. Swan and Pearce, in St. Paul's Church-yard, as porter, for 13 or 14 years. He had known Roberts for several fears. The handkerchief produced had been tak en from him by a policeman (here three other handkerchiefs were produced). Ile bought the whole of these handkerchiefs from Roberts, abouttwo months ago, for Is. 9d. each. A shawl handkerchief produced had been also bought by him from the same person about twelve months ago.—Everett, policeman, 63, deposed as to the ad mission made b 7 Roberts, ad stated thate receiv er aftards went to Messrs. Swan and P ea r ce's, n here he ed from Mr. Swaa three haudkerchiefs, which corresponded with that found upon Upson.—Mr. John Marston, clerk to the prosecutor, stated that after Roberts was in custody, h e e went to the Bull's Head Inn , Wood-street, where Roberts and baying heard the name of Marshall, the other prisoner, mentioned, he went to the house of Mr. Slater, in whose service Marshall was. He saw Marshall, who, in answer to questions, said that he knew Hugh Roberts, and had pur chased goods of him, for which he had bills of parcels and receipts. Upon being told toproduce the papers, he said h d e bad not got them. Ile stated that he had purc of Roberts to the amount of about 100/., in black silk handker chiefs and printed Bandana handkerchiefs, and that he considered it a privilege he had to buy or sell goods.— In Marshall's lodgings were found some handkerchiefs of the description sold by Mr. Evans. —Mr. Hobler : Is it not I usual for persons in the situation of the prisoner Marshall to buy to sell again I—Witness : I should say not.—Mr.llobler: Do not other houses permit their servants to do so?—Wit ness : Other houses may allow it for what I know, but it is not to my knowledge by any means the practice.-31r. Slater, in whose employment Marshall had been for some time, and who was called to speak to his character, said he had forbidden him to sell goods on Isis own account, and that seeing that he appeared to live above his means, he intended to get rid of him.—Roberts, who was undefended, said he had nothing to say.--The Lord Mayor said the evidence dis closed a system of robbery by servants of a most atrocious kind. It was evident that the plunder had been going on for a considerable time, and by a sort of contrivance which was calculated to enable those engaged to enrich themselves at the serious expense of their greatest benefactors.—Mr. Marston stated that considerable deficiencies had occurred upon taking stock within the last two or three years.—Mr. Nobler submitted that there was no identity as to the goods, and that Marshall's conduct had been open and undisguised, and betrayed no consciousness of guilt.—The Lord Mayor: I am quite satisfied that the case of Marshall, as well as of Roberts, must go to a jury, and I commit both prisoners for trial. BOW-STREET. —ROBBERY AND DESERTION.—John Orchard, a drummer in the 2nd battalion of Coldstream Guards, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with hay- ing, on the 26th of November, stolen a gold watch and chain, the property of the lion.

On his re turn the prisoner was absent ; inquiries were made, but he could not be found; he had, however, told a sentry that he was going out with a letter for the Captain, which statement, on the Captain's return, was discovered to be false, and in a few minutesafter the property was missed.--The prisoner in reply to the charge, said there was no witness to prove he had committed a robbery.—The serjeant prayed for a remand, to enable him to procure the attendance of Captain Oriroston and other witnesses, which was granted. ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—JO AD Mason, described as marble-polisher, was charged with carrying on a private still at No. 9, Princes-street, Drury lane.—lt appeared from the evidence of the officer and supervisor, that about 11 o'clock on Tuesday night, from information received, they went to the house where the prisoner carries on the business of a to bacconist.

On recovering she found the defendant in the custody of a constable, by whom he waa at once eon- veyed to the station-house.—Police-constable K, 354, de posed to having witnessed the assault.—The defendant, in answer to the charge, declared that the occurrence originated in a misapprehension. lie had mistaken the complainant for a woman who had just before left his company after rob bing hi= of his rini end purse, but he was qttitc ready ti make her any pecuniary recompense the magistrate might 'HE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, 1846, suggest for the treatment she had received. —Thc complain- 1 ant - baring requested to deal with the case summarily, Mr. Bingham fined the defendant 61., and in default two month,' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and regretted that he had not the power to inflict a more severe punish- meat. hIARLBOROLIGH-STREET.

Ile had recently become tke lessee of the celebrated Crockford's club-house for three years, at a yearly rent of 3,000/. His object in taking the premises was to convert them into concert and assembly rooms of the most select character.

Edward Walker and Sons, of Red Lion-street. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who was an apprentice to Mr. Parkinson, of Red Li on -street, entered the prosecutor's shop on Tuesday after noon, about three o'clock, and asd to see a watch chain, which he bought, and went awakey; soon after which 21 other c h a ins were missed, and information having been given to the police, it was ascertained that the prisoner had offered some of the chains, at a very low price, to a fellow-appren tice, when the fermer was taken into custody, a nd the pro perty found upon him.

Owing to the carelessness of the contractor, heaps of dust and ashes had accumulated in such a manner as to be a perfect • nuisance to that neighbourhood : and although Mr. Dodd was strict, when any person interfered for cleanliness sake, the dirt and rubbish might remain there for ever, for all he seemed to care about it —The foreman stand that his mare 3 ter paid 1,0001. a-year for t he ri g ht of taking away the dust, 41c and he was very frequently plundered.—Mr. CoomSe said he should only fine the prisoner a shilling, but trusted I that would be a warning to him and others that they acted 1 illegally. THAMES. —lm VORTANT TO PAWNBROKERS. Mr. Childs, pawnbroker, of High-street, Shadwell, appeared to d I answer a claim for compensation made by a person name Holland, under tie foiuwing circumstances.

HAMMERS)IITII.—THE Lew OF 'MASTER AND SER VANT.-111r. Itaittion, of the ageHtrunersmith Con veyance Co mpany, appeared to answer ummons at the instance of Richard Cloud, one of his driver. ' for non-pay ment of a week's wages , am ountin g to 185. The complainant had been discharged without notice, and he claimed in con sequence a week's wages, which he contended he was enti tled to by usage.—Mr. l'aynter decided that the complainant was entitled to the we sek' notice or the wages, and ordered `..e amount claimed, with 2s. costs, to be paid. MONEY K MARET. WEDNESDA:4 EVENING. The more favourable accounts by the Overland Mail from India both politically and So.:tidally, and from the United States in respect of ample supplies of breadstuff's forthcoming for this country and the continent where neces sary', coming at a moment when the movement of 'the funds had already taken an upward direction for some days pre viously, could hardly fail to communicate an additional hn • pulse to the market. Consols in consequence advanced to 951, and were done even at 951 both money and time pur chases. Towards the close of husineoi these higher rates ceased to be maintained however but they still leftoff 951 for money, and 951 for time. The equality of the rates be tween money and time would seem to come in proof of the scarcity of money stock, which was one chief foundation, ac cording to general ac ce p tation, of the continued gradual in consols fur some time put. Had money stock been more abundant and easily procured, there should be a rate of con tinuation between the prices for money and account some thing like equal to the difference of interest betwixt the two periods. The equality of rates favours the siew,moreover, that consid..rable amounts of stock business were carried over from the late settlement of account to the 10th inst., the nearer ap proach of which induces those who have sold for delivery to be more eager about getting into stock by or before the appointed time.

The share market opened yesterday with much firmness and ae i%ity of business, and so continued with improved prices for some lines until nearly the time of closing. A change then came over the market, which left off decidedly weaker. Shrewsbury and Birminghams, Cale donians, Gooles, Leeds and Thirsks, Huddersfield and Man chester., were all in decline. Some of the old stocks which had advanced left off flat. No cause was assigned for this reverse in the latter part of the day of the morning's prospects of railway business. The market, fur old stocks, was firm at Liverpool, hut the newer lines were generally a shade lower than on Tuesday, except Shrewsbury and Birmingham*, Stour Valleys, and Great Grimsbys, which were all better. The business clone was not to any great amount. No great amount of business was done at Manchester, but the tone of the market was healthy : prices steady and firm. A tolerable amount of business was done at Birmingham, but prices generally had a downward tendency, with the exception of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction, in which there were sales at 7p. Stour Valleys were done at the commencement of the business at 21 p., but receded at the close to 21 p.; North Stafforda, at 31 p.; Shrewsbury and Birmingham (class A), 21 p.; Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Scrip, at p.; South Staffordshire Registered (late Junction), 225. 6d. p.; Shropshire Unions Registered, at Is. 3d. dis. At Leeds, the share market exhibited the same animation as on the preceding day, and a good businesswas transacted; but prices were not so buoyant. East Lancashires (New Scrip) advanced from 11 to 24 p.; Leeds and as h es from 11 to 1 d. ; and the Melton and Driffield shares, from 17s. 6d. to 22a. p. The market at Bristol was more active and firm, as regards prices. Bristol and Exeter Old Shares were done at 791 to 80; Bristol and Exeter, New, 81; Birmingham and Oxford Junction, 81 ; (heat Western, Old Shares, 130; Great Western, New, 71; Manchester and Leeds Extension, Midland Stock, 126; Bristol and Gloucester , 691; North Staffordshire, 3/. 18s. 9d. p. ; Shrewsbury and Birmingham, 21 p.; Taff Vale Five per Cents., par. The demand at Hull on Tuesday for all descriptions of shares was very great; but owing to the small amount of stock offered for gale, only a limited business was transacted.

MEETING THIS DAY. Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby; London Coffee Howse; 12 noon. LONDON.--LYNN AND Er.r.—A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern. Sir W. B. Fowkes, thechairman of the company, preeided. The meeting was called to consider an agreement entered into between the directors of the Ely and Huntingdon and Lynn and Denham Railway Com panies on the one part, and the directors of the Enstern Counties Railway Campany on the other part, for leaaing the railway% branch railways, and works of the three East Anglian companies to the Eastern Counties. The entire length of the Enes propomd to be leased is about 8.5 miles, that of the Lynn and Ely 36. and T Elhe capital of the three lima is 884,4e05, that of the Lynn y 800,000/. The followin viand an abstract of the agreement submitted to the meeting.—Tbe Lyn Ely,. Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dercham Railway Companice having agreed to amalgamate under the name of " Vie Last Anglian Railways Company," in the agreement entered into, those companies were took treated with under that name. The Eastern Counties Company ed to leane the three amal gamated lines for 999 years on the following terms :—For t n he tit three years of the said term they agreed to pay a clear dividend of 5/. per cent. on the entire share capital of ti84,40e/., and for the residue of the said term a clear dividend no such capital lees by two per cest. than the disidend for the time being, payable on the share capital of the Etitern Counties Railway Company, now converted into 20!. shares; but they guaranteed that, after the expiration of the three years, the minimum rent raid should be 6/. per cent. pertbe above The Eastern Counties Company further agreed that until ve rent should commence, interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum !mould be paid out of the share capital or borrowed money of the proprietor. of shares in the East Anglian Railways Company, upon all the instalments and calls, paid by t term hem fromthree the days on which they became payable. The of years was to commence on the day when the be tine line of the amalgamated companies from Lynn to Ely should cpleted and reedy for opening; and if the whole line were not then complete, the Eastern Counties Company was tote put in possession of the dif ferent portions as they should be fininbed. The locomotive engines, plant, &c., were to be taken at cost price. The East Anglian Railways Company were not to be bound to lay down double lines of rolls on any part of their lists. They were, however, to proceed to Parlia ment to obtain power to construct such extensions, branches, and other worke as the Eastern Counties Company should request, at the risk and cost of the latter company. In case any dispute thould arise as to the true intent and meaning of the agreement, it con to be re ferred to the decision of the chairman for the time being of the South Western Company, or of some person to be nppointed by him.—The chairman, in his opening remarks, admitted that the agreement was not so advantageous as it appeared at first, in eths, • equence of the eversion of the 141. 16s. shares of the Eastern Counties Corn , may into ROL chores, by the payment of 1/. 45., and saloons of 4/. Ile concluded, however, by moving, "in order," as he mid, " to bring the matter to twee, that the agreement be approved ' ratified, and confirmed." Mr. Sparrow seconded the motion. I spreral sharehtialers expressed their dinsalisfaction at the terms of the agreement, and reminded the directors that in tae orie -1 nal prospectus they had held out to them hopes of obtaining r•zer cent. The solicitor of the company said, that the tables proved in parliament gave 84 per cent. Mr. Bruce moved an amendment repudiating the agreement, and emPow , ering the directors to treat for a minimum dividend of 6 per cent., with a maximum of only 1/. less than the dividend upon the Emtern Counties' 20!. shares. Mr. Gawgroger seconded the amendment. Several proprietors called upon the chairmen and the directors to state why they had consented to seeept the offered tenns, after their ow n statements as to the excellent prospects of the line on former occa sions. The chairman said he declined to answer the queetion. Mr. Punchers( moved a second amendment, declaring that the shareholders would repudiate any agreement that mi..ht be entered into by the directors, which had not for its basis a guarantee of 8 per cent. on the capital paid up—Mr. Bunting seconded the amendment, and contended that there was nothing in the cost or circumstances of the line which should induce the share holders to accept less favourable terms.—Mr. Henry C. Lacy, one of the directors of the company, said he bad differed from the majority of his colleagues as to the proposed lease. Nothing except the price of land had exceeded the estimates; and he had not the least doubt that if they had proceeded alone, within four or five years the line would have paid 10 per cent. No imputation of jobbery could possibly be fastened upon his co-directors, but he certainly differed from them very strongly on that subject. —After a desultory discussion on the motion of Mr. Lacy, seconded by Mr. Whi e'er, the meeting adopted the following resolution:—"That whilst this meeting sanctions the directors In taring powers in the amalgamation bill to lease the Eaat Anglian Railways to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, the shareholders reject any termsbeing made for such lease, unless the East ern Counties Company shall agree, before the Ist of Jan. next, to allow 5 per cent. on calls till Die line be opened ; then 6 per cent. for three yearn; and from and after that time a Reed guarantee of 74 per cent.; in which ease the directors are authorised to conclade an agreement to that effect." The chairman, in a short defence of himself and his colleagues, said they did not, under the circumstances, desire that the agreement should be confirmed. Resolutions were paced, etnpuwer kg the directors to apply to parliament, in the ensuing session, for powers to construct railways from Witheach to Sp ilding and 1 beach, and from Ely to Bury St. Edmund .% and also to construct docks at the port of King's Lynn. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman and the directors. WORCESTER, TENRURT. AND LCDLOW.—A meeting of illasulare and shareholders in this company was held yesterday at the asepsay's offices, South-square, Gray's-inn, for the purpose of con sidering the present position of the undertaking. James Davis, Ems, 1 in the chair. •It will be recollected that thus is the company with 1 which Captain Richardson was connected, who was prosecuted for 1 forging a cheque fur 5,000/. onCoutta's husk, by which he obtained that amount of the deposits of the shareholders. It appeared that at u I former meeting it had been resolved not to dissolve the company, and yet the unanimous opinion iClie,. that the line could not be made by the preeent partins although it was a good line. An attempt had been made te WlCetiate with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Company to dispose of the plans, turveye, &e, but it failed, and several pro positions were now suggested as, to bow the funds in hand, amounting to about 4,000 t, should be disposed of, whether by a dividend on account or otherwise, but no deciaion was come to,and the meeting broke up with out having arrived at any result. It appeared that the sum recovered from Captain Richardson in his house was 3,200/.; but he having been acquitted, a doubt was expressed by a shareholder if he could not recover back that money, or hie aseigneee, in case of his bank ruptcy. The sum lost by his act was I,soo/., which he had paid away before hie arrest, and the colas of hie prosecution nearlr 400/. ; and a question seemed to arise whether the lom ought not to fall, in justice at least, upon the directors, rather than the shareholder% or a portion of it on the bank that had paid the fabricatedeheque. A good dent i f severe remark fell from several present at the continued absence from the country of Mr. Whitmore, whose name appeared on the cheque, In the face of the manner in which hie name was implicated ; and, as a director, he was considered to be highly responsible far a charm of the lose, and also Mr. Stevenson, whose name was likewise on the cheque, and who, although in andon, so far from coming forward to aid the company in their provost condition, had demanded ten guineas of the secretary for his attendance at the trial of Captain Richardson. NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CONNECTING.—YederdAy an adjourned meeting of the seripholdera of this company was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering and determining as to the adoption of the report of the committee of investigation. The chairman was Mr. Castendieek. A long speech was made by Mr. Hopwood, who went into the various climates of misconduct brought against the directors, and more particularly dwelt on the payment of 101. to Mr. Metyard (one of the directors) or the purpose of getting the money out of Chancery; he also alluded to the giving one of the directors a blank check for the purpose of "rigging" the market.—Mr. Daniel inveighed strongly 'mirth the conduct of the directors, and advised an indictment of the whole party, solicitors and all, at the Old Bailey.—Mr. Cart (one of the solicitors) replied, and stated that Mr. Metyard was in Staffordshire, and his signature being necessary to obtain the money from the Accountant-General, the 101. was paid to him merely for llo.expccdu-s tromStationithire undback again, be being unknown to him.—A long and virulent discussion then took place in Mr. Clark submitted a proposition that they should , ass no resolution thwfoathy ndugrereeita4 to 9hwthhtt.heftgagole!:[:.laiedina:P"tonur'.:iaTra *gSs:th::wewhtedtherhilc.2l,c6ahtAidfonmssritmak.met. hot 2 andE;Tk.asertbeirianalig.,s:l:dehmtlarNiww. amhamtl!thaltk;ffit. :notta.Pitd::amtsuulniretmtlitrapoeith'nween bt be presented, to the seripholders.

He alluded to several instances in proof of the fraudulent acts of the directors of this company, and complimented the committee on their-able report; but thought still, nee its tecomnicutittionr, it should not be adopted, and that the committer should be continued for putting an end to li'igation winding up the afea r e,77" -- ._ pane, and paj Ing back the balance of the &peat.. eon. andi ' nelavent dismission, the original motion for the rapes- a a9 adopted was proposed, to which the amendment of blr.Clark mitted, which. wan carried by a majority. btr.
