The surveyor for Lord °mew% trustees valued the property considerably below the plaintiff, and the umpire further reduced the amount. The duchess bad paid into court the sum paid to Lord Cooyear's valuer. The learned counsel moved to sat the verdict aside on the pound of misdirection, the learned judge having teo much narrowed the point for the considestmo of the jury relative to the Scotch mode of payment, and further that the verdict wasagainat evidence.

He la begun Mimes as • farmer in 1862, hating previously to that tune bees eldelly by hie father. lie wee then 2901. babied, and su rOi d e months had increased his deficiency to 3,4311. Against unsecured debts of 4,7001., he had iamb (realised) of 2,4001. • circumstance owing to the large amount of his purchases in all directioas, though he must have kaolin that his career could oily be one of a few wreaths. The charges evilest the bankrupt were that he bad been guilty of unjustifiable *strays pace in living' and that the whole of the debts contracted since the end of 102 had been contracted without reasonable expectation of payment. The court yes asked to exercise its power of imprisonment under the 150th sec., is to withhold protection, Ironic' he no piteish meet to the bankrupt, all the creditors having proved. On first going to Kirby-le-Sokec, lie had entered into a contract for the purehms of • farm for 10.0001., repo,- sooting that he had • large unencumbered interest under his father's will. It turned out that he had already bor rowed more than the amount of hie interest under that will. Without paying a penny he got into palmation of the estate, and time obtained credit in the neighbourhood as a large landowner. He bought agricultural implements worth 4851., and furniture to the amount of 811/., having already furnitureworth 2304. aid knowing that be was then 2901. behind the world. He had spent 4291. ie repairs and alter ations, and 1974 in improvement.. la nine mceths he bed paid 200/. me interest and 3154 to the vendor of the farm. His hones and personal expenditure for nine months was 4831. not including rent or taxes, and having no family beyond his wife, and an additional 991. was charged for travelling expenses. The total expenditure was at the rate of 7801. • year, and not 1134 as put down in his accounts. The bankrupt was examioed at great length, acid ad mitted moat of the facts above stated. In examination by Ilr. flargood, be maistaiised that, bad he been allowed to go on, he should have bona able to pay all his trade credi tars out of the profits of the farm. . . . His Honour, after reviewing the casia, said the speculatioe was Dot one which the bankrupt ought to have uodertakee with his limited means, and sus needed the order of discharge for 12 months, but gave protection. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fame.) rc RC A. ii. H. O'FL A/11MM -CAME OF ♦ CO•EEMPOIDEET of the The bankrupt was described as of Stanleysireet, out of business. It appeared that he was an officer in the Kilkenny militia, and had been co-respondent in the Divorce Court in the suit of "St. John v. St. John , and O'Flahertie." His debts were 1,2761. This was the sitting for examination and diacharge. Mr. E. Reed supported. Mr. Bagley opposed for two creditors, Mr. Marshall and Mr. Fetich, tailors, who had supplied the bankrupt with clothes and uniforms. Being sued by one of those creditors he bad defended the action on the plea of his minority, but the verdict was given against him on the potted that the articles supplied were necessaries for the - bankrupt se an officer of the Kilkeeny militia. It was contended that he had oontracted those debt, without reasonable expectation el payment. It woe also urged against him that Waco his Ory he had been engaged in betting transactions for himself sad others, and had received aa much as BUOI. in 000 sum. His Honour, in consideration of the bankrupt's youth, suspended the order of discharge for three months only, but refused to nits any proteetion.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was tuned out of • public-house for making a disturbance. She was then asked by the police to go away, bet she would not, and rang the bells and koockcd at the doors of several houses. She was then locked up, and as she was being takers ta the all she said she was determined that she would not come out of there alive. She was visited every five fluent's, and after she had been there about an hour she was found lying on the door of the cell in an insensible state. She had tied a piece of ribbon tightly round ber throat, and the constable had great diffi culty io removing it. The defendant said that, although she was prevented from taking her We then, she would do so before the morning was out. The defendant is known as a prostitute, but the police stated that she generally behaved in a quiet meaner. The defendant said she regretted very much what had co came, and if she was now forgives she would take can that she would never offend any more. Mr. IYEyncourt said that the defendant ought to be thankful to the polio* for saving her life. She would now have to pay a fi ne of sc, or in default of payment ten days' imprisonment. It was to be hoped that she would not pay the money, but would go to prison, where she would be kept from drink and have time to reflect upon the (millda ms; of her conduct. The tine was paid.

A spacial Court of Common Council was bold yesterday, at half-past two o'clock, for the purpose of elect ing a gentleman to EU the MSc' of ttemerobranoer to the corporstioa of the City of London, vacant by the resigna tion of Mr. Tyrrell The LORD M.tloa presided. sad there was a very fall etteodeore of members of the court. The late Rensembrancer held that and other appoint ments connected with the corporation for more than half a century. The duties of the office of Remembrascer, as the public is aware, are of an important character, as he ill expected to be present in the House of Commons every day during the sittiog of parliament, a seat being specially appointed for him within the bar, and to take cognisance of and report upon every bill brought before the house that is likely in any way to affect the rights. privileges, or pecuniary interests of the oorporatios of London. By • return made by mind the Court of Comma Co e n it appeared that the amount of salary received by Mr. Tyrrell during the period he held the office of Remota brewer was over 2,000'. per annum, and • committee appointed to consider the subject of the duties aad maw manta of the office, upon his resignation, made • report in which they recommended that he should receive a retiring allowance of 700/. per annum. They at the same time recommended that in future the salary should be a fixed one of 1,5001. per annum, and this portico of the report of the committee was agreed to. The other, relating to the retiring pension was negatived, and it is pretty clearly understood from the tone of the debate that took place upon the occasion, that in the 011118 of the higher officers of the corporation who are in the receipt of large salaries, the cor poration will not be inclined to grant any retiring allowanoes in future. The knowledge of this fact, and the reduction of the salary, it was said tended to prevent many gentlemen from cmning forward to offer themselves to fill the vacant office who otherwise would have been inclined to do so. The candidates were eleven in number. They ware—Mr. W. Breeden. a barrister, and registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court ; Mr. H. E. Brown, parliament a ry agent and solicitor ; Mr. W. Cowie, barrister. and one of the magistrates at barbed to Bow-street Police-court ; Mr. .f. Crosby, solicitor ; Mr. C. C. Oke. assistant-clerk at the Maesioe-hour Justice room ; Mr. J. Peachey, banister ; Mr. S. Spofforth, par liamentary agent and solicitor ; Mr. H. T. Riley, ILL, barrister; Mr. E. Walmialry, parliamentary agent and soli citor; Mr. J. Walinisley, parliamentary agent and soli citor; and Mr. S. J. Wilde, barriste r, parliamentary drafts man and conveyancer. Mr. H. L TAYLOR. when the electioa was about to com ment*, said that although by the standing orders of the court they were required to reduce the number of candi dates to two, and finally elect one from the 'mailer number, they had the power of reducing the number to four in the first instance. and it appeared to him that the matter was of such importance that it ought not to be heated over ; he should, therefore, propose that the names of four of ammo dramas should, in the first instance, be eliminated from the full list, and that the court should then reduce that emotes to two, mad then finally choose the successful candidate. Mr. Knees seconded the proposition, which was awned unasimously... The LORD 31-trolt then directed that the tar should be closed, and anooanced that to members then absent would be allowed to vote for the four candidatr% but he said at the same time that of course any gentleman who attended subsequently would have an opportunity of voting upon the deal question. . _ _ Tire effect of this was that Mr. Norris, M.P., Yr. Radkin and Mr. T. E. rmith, who did D ot a rr i ve millßadkio, aft itr the ba; bad been closed, were prerented from votitg upon the first question submitted to the court ►n the mune of the voting Mr. Norris said the other two gent lemeo claimed their right to vote. The LORD MAYOR said that he had dietioetly announced the course that would be taken. Mr. NORMS said he felt called upon to protest against the prxecdisg. and claimed oa behalf of himself and the other two members the right to rote. The Lotto MATOr. said that the boot:amble member was not in the court, and he could not hear him. (lAughter.) The rotitur then took place, and the result was that the Lord Mayor declared the following four gentlemen to have obtained the greatest Dumber of votes—Messrs Carib, Brandeis. Crosby, and Wilde. Upon a request by the court that the number s polled for each of these eandi&tee should be stated. they were given W as ildfoa, ms :—Corrie, 127 ; Brandon, 11l ; Cr os by, ; and s 60. . . Another vote of the court then took place to reduce the number to two, when Messrs. Conks and Brandon ware declared to have the greatest number of votes. The eumbers upon this occsaion were—for Mr. Conic, 103 ; for Mr. BrAlki01). 64. A poll was demanded, which lasted one hour, and the final result was that Mr. (lone was declared duly elected, the numbers beieg—Corrie, 100; Brandoo. NT. Mr. Cow& in formally accepting the office, ex his warmest thanks for the honour the court conferred upon him. He felt very consdeut of the result, but be did not expect to have obtained such a large majority, The beet return be could make, he said, warn to devote all hinon• l l7 and industry in fulfilling the important duties of the once to which he had been sleeted, and he should endeavour to do so to the best of his ability. The court then adjourned. MELTING Or Mt DDLIBIX MAGLSTRATIDA—The ordinary meeting of the magistrates of the county of Mid dlesex was held yesterday at the Court.hoime. Clerken green ; Mr. Powoall presided, and the attendance was unusu ally large.

The usual reports on the county prisons and lunatic asylums, and of the oommittec on gene ral purposes barite been received, Mr. E. W. Cox moved • resolution oa the subject of the appointment of Romeo catholic ministers to the county primes, under the new act of parliamect. This motion, which in effect was for inquiry into the statistics relative to the Roman catholic prisoners, gave rise to some discussion, and was ultimately withdrawn in favour of the following amendment proposed by That it lir referredlr T urner . to • coad seco nded ni n mittio(mco b n y M sist r. 4 Baker:theviL iog justices of the three county prisons), to inquire and re port to the court what numbers of Romanciatholic poi oven have been committed to each prison (stating separately the numbers of adults and juveniles of each sexl, drums each of the three years ending respectively, Michaelmas, 1861, Michaelmas, 1°62, and Michaelmas, 1863, and also what ate the present numbers of such primmers within the same pri sous respectively." To this the following wee added, on the suggestion of Mr. Stamford :—" And at the same time to re port the total numberof prisoners in each prison at the times before-mettioced, and furnish the court from the register. which under tbe 4th sectiou of the Prison Ministr re Acit is ordered to be kept of the church or religious Persuasion of each prisoner, the number of printing under each religions , persuasion as far as can be ascertained."

He moved for • new trial an the Friend that the damages were 'Maar& The plaishi was represented as a horse dealer or riding master, and the defendant was an attoreey lately residing in this Adelphi, whew name bad lately appeared in the newspapers in easasziou with another transaction. The plaintiff, with two taken, went to certain stables at the West and where the defendant had a valuable mare. They induced the man who bad the mare to Mimi 1 her out of th e stable and show her as if to • pi:urbane, upon which she was seized and taken away. George after wards gave the plaintiff into custody, but at the police station he refused to charge him, and he was discharged after he had been in custody about an hour. Mr. Jastios Blackburn said the learned soused for the plaintiff opened one or two points that he did not prove. He represented the defendant as a bill-discounting attorney, and that he had got possession in an underhand manner, which certainly was not panel Mr. Serjeset Haffentine— Yes ; and that he belooged to a gang of the wont swindlers in London —ffaughteri—which , he also failed to prove. Mr. Justice Blackburn said his experience led him to be lieve that the jorymeu of London had a prejudice against bill-diaxinnting attoroeys. (Laughter.) The fan, of the ease were very much aa the learned ',leant bed slated them. He was surprised at the jury giving 401. The court said there would be a role mai for a new trial, unless the plaintiff consented to 'alum the damages to 40s. Rule accordingly. IN Et Al ATTORNIT. Mr. .f rchibold moved for a rule calling upon an attorney to show cause why he should sot repay the sum of 991. and answer the matters of ao affidavit, and pay the costs of the application. The enemy had allowed the roomy to be advanced oe the contests of them boxes, which were represented iu his pressure as containing plate worth 1,0001., he well knowing that they mutinied only a pair of old boots, an old hat, an old tan eoffetrpot, and the like. (Laughter.) The boxes, with several pawn tickets, had been io pledge to Mr. Emanuel, pawnbroker, of South. ampton, on a mime representation, but he did not examine them, knowing that the articles men tioned in the pawn tickets, if genuine, were sufficient to cover hie admen.. He, however, ascertabsed that the pawn tickets were forgeries—(laughter)—hut got back his mousy sod handed over the boxes to the owner. They were thou taken to an auctioneer's at Southampton and opened is the attormy's presence, when they were fouled to one. tails a pair of boots, an old hat, a tin coffee-pot, some books, old been, half-a-dozen old silver moms, a pair of silver sugar-tongs, an old silver watch, and two pima gold rings, the whole not toeing worth 10/. The bona were again corded up, eel on the following day the attorney permitted the advance of the money on the represeotiaioe that they contained plate worth I,OOU/. Afterwards the applicant saw the attorney, and asked him to repay the money, to which he gave him answer, " that he we not such • fool as that." (Laughter.) The applicant then asked him if he called himself • respectable solicitor, but he declined to answer that question. (Laughter.) He, however, sent in his bill (having done tome other huaineenfor the applimat), and nadir the date of the day as which the aboveconver. lanes took place he had =des charge for attending him sod answerlig certain questions relative to this natter. The Lord Chief Jmnos said the court °cubd not call upon the attorney to answer matters that might criminate him self. According to the learned counsel's statement the attorney was a prima* in obtaining mosey under false pretences. Perhaps the better course would be for the learned counsel to take a rule to strike him off the rolls. Mr. Archibald said be would take the rule it' that form. Rule nisi moordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-JAN. 14. Sittings in Banoo.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erle, and _ Justices Williams, Willey and Keating.) I coil C. MEDC.—" ♦ ►DLL AID COMPLZIR CARGO." This was an action to reoover damages epos the ground that the defendant had not loaded at the Havannab " a foil and complete cargo" of timber, according to the terms of a charterparty into which be had entered. The trial took plain before the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall, when there was 000llicting evidence as to what was the meaning of the terms " full sad complete cargo ;" the question being whether it meant simply as many logs of timber as could be put on board, or whether it meant that is addition the interstices should be filled up with broken stowage. Mr. Karelake, Q.C., now moved for • role to enter a ver dict for the defendant, or for a new trial ; sad submitted that the construction of the charterparty was for the court and not the jury, and that the disputed term meant only as many loge of tanner as could be shipped so board. In addition, it was contended that there was no evidenos of the automat the Havannah as to ithippidg broken stowage which would justify the finding of the jury. The Lordenief Justice said that if the question were one for the jury, they had disposed of it to his satisfaction ; rod if it were for the court, he was of the same opinion as the jury. A fall and complete cargo meaut that the ship was to be filled, and that would not he done without putting broken stowage in those spaces that were left vacua after the timber had been shipped.

This was an action to recover damages upon the ground that the defendant bad not received the plaintiff into her employment in pursuance of an agreement en tered into by Madame Samoa. or for having wrongfully diamiseed her. There were ether counts, founded upon the hypotheeis that the plaintiff was to be an ployed a. an ordinary domestic servant ; and in re ference to them latter counts the defendant peg U. into court. Mr. Cl..her Russell appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Beßastin* for the defendant. The plaintiff, • young woman and an orphan, was • native of Prussia, and Madame Serena, though a native of France, was residing in Peniteridge-rillas, Weetbourne grove. In the autumn of last rear the two ladies cone spooded is reference to the plaintiff being employed. Madame Serena wrote in German, " I have four children at home, the eldest eleven years, sad the youngest five. The posi tion io my house is not that of a common servaat. I want a better educated person, ea she moat always be with me and the children. She conies nen coned with the servants, as she always takes her meals at our tables, and has altogether nothing bat very friendly treatment to expect. I generally give IV. a yeas, •ind will increase it after six months, if threos eso do what I require. I would not pay the trav elling expenses, but I would may make them good if she s tayed with me mom than • year. The duties in my house am very light, and the gonna.. (boone) bas nothing at all to do with house work ; everythiag is found for her, washing, sugar, tea, coffee. If you are inclined to accept the situation have the goodness to send me an answer immediately." The plaintiff replied, bat the letter was not produced, and there were several versions as to what were its connate. The plaintiff'. case we., that eh* stated is the letter that she would go to Londe*, but that she hoped certain alterations would be made is the terms ; whilst thedefeadant's can was that the plaintiff said she would go if the alterations were agreed to. However, the plaintiff left Berlin in November last, and went to the defendant's boon, where she was told that she had not been eugaged ; but she remained a week, and then left. The plaintiff's case was that she was told to go, whilst, on the other band, it was said that she was In vited to stay until a situation could be procured for her, but that she refused. Soon afterwards a acquaintance of the plaintiff wrote to Madame Serena, claiming that the plaintiff was, at all events, 'mailed to receive M.; and this accounted for that sum being paid into court. Am ong the points in dispute was the meaning of the word " bonne," the plaintiff's can being that it mast nursery governess, whilst the case for the defendant was that it meant only an ordinary servant, who could be discharged at a month's notice. His Lordship left it to the jury to say whether then had bora an easagement to employ the plaintiff for a year, and whether that eolgemeat bad bees broken.

Yesterday morning a jobbing shoemaker named James Gooding, who lived in a narrow back street called Albertstreet, in the pariah of St. Clement, Ipswich, one of the poorest parte of the town, murdered one of hie children and then cut his own throat. About half-past eight Goodin 's next door hbour, named Norfolk, TM alarmed by bearing ' 8 wife scram out, and on run. sing to his door she cried, "For God's sake, Yr. Norfolk, come in, my husband has killed himself and the dear child." Norfolk ran upstairs and found the bodies of Gooding and his little daughter Elizabeth, about six years of age, lying on the door in a pool of blood, which was flowing from wounds in the throat of each. Although soucely more than a minute could have elapsed since the commission of the act, both were dead. At the knee of the father lay a shoemaker's knife oovered with blood, and evidently the instrument which had been used. The unhappy father appears to have first cut the throat of his child, who was completely a cripple, having the use of neither legs nor arms, and who was besides imbecile sod unable to speak, and then to have inflicted a frightful pod in his own. The wound commenced wider the left ear and extended acmes the throat, the vessels and muscles being severed down to the vertebra:. An inquest was opened on the bodies in the afternoon by Mr. Jackamen, the borough coresse, at which evidence was given that Gooding had for years been in an indifferent state of health, and since September, when he lost three children in a week from diphtheria, he has been in a very desponding elate of Wed, and though • sober man previously, had latterly indulged in drink. lie. however, bad always spoken in most affectionate terms of the deceased child, and said he only heed for her.

The jury thought it desirable that the widow should be sumuned, and the inquiry was adjourned for that purpose, she in so distracted • state that at present it would be ambleim to take her evidence. IRONMASTERS QUARTERLY MEETING. - - • BIRMLNGHAM. JAN. 14. The ironmasten ot this district held their second me Ming for the currant quarter in this town today ; The attendance was unoimally large, and was composed of • sectias of all those who are in soy way interested in the trade ; the distant iron-producing district. were well re presented. as were also the shippers and home 000snmets. From 2 until half -past3 o'clock the ball was crowded, and • very considerable degree of animation was manifested. The amount of business transacted was not on • par with this ; but that is to be traced to the fact of many of the iron masters not being is a position to accept more orders than they have on their books • otherwise the demand for hers today was so considerable that large orders would undoubt edly have been given if buyers could have Mimed their speedy execution ; but such is the condition of the trade at this moment, that many consomme and others have ceders out, sod are unable to get the iron delivered. But notwithstanding the elutes°. of this peculiar, indeed it may be amid exceptional, cooditioo of the trade, there was a very good amount of business dope to day, much more than could have been anticitated looking at the very large quantity of finished iron which had been previously sold. Perhaps that which mainly contributed to draw topther so large an assembly was anxiety to ascertain the feeling of those who are engaged in the trade, and to gather if possible an idea as to the prospect of prices being maintained. Os that point the tone of the hoommters themselves was fall of confidence, and that was borne out by the eagerness dis played on the part of some who were present to lacrosse their orders ; to such an extent was this, that a further ad vance is prices was seriously discussed, but checked by the leading members of the trade. As to the tenour of the latest &deices from America, thews is so doubt whatever ; iron is to be had for shipment to that quarter at any price, and some of the Liverpool houses have offered contracts to makers of finished iron which would keep them espied during the greater partof the year. I. such eiresmatthoes it is no wonder that this meeting was eliarnoterissd by • masked and unusual buoyancy.

There is • steady coesump tire demand for most classes of wool, generally for hail heeds and deep grows aorta, but the purchases were for the most pert small. With so slow a demand for yarn and pieces buyers are indisposed to do more than satisfy their present requirements. The tone of the market is fully as stroog as last week, sod prices mistimes to show a slightly hardening tendency, sot amounting to aeythiog like • quotable *drama.

There has already been an improvement in the inquiry for plain nets for shipping. Silk laces and narrow edgings alp meet a better sale. The hosiery trade is without chaage, very few fresh orders having bees placed during the week. A few small orders are being executed for Canada.
