(tierrso), warn aamatu. —JUDGMENT. rap swe was baud on Wednesday last and judgment It was an appeal from an order of riAeoesor Kindenley : It appeared that Mr. s A ns il a shareholder in the limited company of vpluGurney, and wound-up Co., which had been under the inspecti orde red on of M co at, and he was therefore a contributory under ; i n n ing-up. lie was, however, also a depositor n i s banking company to the extent of 16,0001. • k a holder of eighty shares of 501. each, on bs has paid 151. Another call of 101. has to fade, and a dividend is shortly about to be paid. k r . Mean !Tiied to the official liquidator to allow the s weat of calls he had paid to be set-off against his do o•ms141 that he should be paid idend as a creditor. • refused an application was made to the Vioe ossallor that the liquidator should be ordered to pay ti rid dividend ; and the question being whether on s oot of his being a contributory shareholder Mr. c e p was not entitled to any rights as a creditor until i gike creditors not contributories had been paid in full, l y Honour was of opinion that the principles of the ordi sac law of partnership applied to this case, and that Mr. G o n sil could not prove his debt as a depositor in competition nib creditors not shareholders, that he was not entitled to W till all other creditors had been paid in full, in s refu sed the application. The present appeal was then i n s i ght, and it was urged for the appellant that the in equences of this decision would be that the whole welt of the peculiar incorporation of limited liability c olonies would be taken away from the shareholders, n i t the limit of their liability was practically enlarged, ,of that they were practically placed in the situation, be lle being &limited company, of being also a guaranteed an nation. r B. Palmer and Mr. Wickens appeared for the appeal. *. Bailey and Mr. Roxburgh on the other side ; Mr. /sem Kale appeared for creditors. Ttis Lord Chancellor said the question depended on the *meanies Act, 1862. The primary intention of that act vas that the property of a company when wound up should he elided part pawn amongst the creditors according to inn sights. The act appeared to make no distinction item creditors who were also members of the company, nd therefore they were entitled to be paid part pas= with s ort sreditors. Wr it gard to calls which they had paid sr were liable to pay, was clear that the amount of call *II meld not be set off against the debts, and to allow nth a setoff would be contrary to the whole scope of the act The amount of any call due must be paid before a mein of the company could be entitled to a dividend. Hs vas of opinion that the order of the Vice-Chancellor mast he a ffi rmed, and the motion refined, coats to be paid Irg dr official liquidator out of the assets of the company. Headed that Lord Justice Turner eoncurred. Ind Justice Knight Bruce also agreed. Appal dinars& THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. • NICE HOUSI TO LODGE elfriel Mean, the owner of a number of houses in Stepiccinn-peserge and Elizabeth Gillian, his wife, were c hwild with assa ul ting Rebecca Martinez, an elderly ma., who lodges in one of their homes, and two can =him of the F division. They were defended by Mr. L. Lewis, of Hy-place. it appeared that the male prisoner went to Mrs. Mar times room in • state of drunkenness to demand payment we of 29(., which he alleged that eke owed him. rw however, she declared was an entirely imaginary Wm, as even upon the showing of Mrs. taSham, who kept the accounts, she only owed 3e. He was my abusive, calling her a variety of foal names, ad when she locked her door to keep him at of the room, he burst it open, broke the leek from the door, knocked Mrs. Martinez down and liked her as she lay on the ground. The constable on tdfin the street, Watson, 299 A, was called in, but de emed to take the prisoner in custody as he had not wit mood the emelt. He advised Mrs. Martinez to keep Oa till the next day and then to take a summons out spina him. Shortly afterwards Watson was again passing Ss Muss, and heard cries of " Murder," and a peat noise MS the smashing of crockery in Mrs. Martinez's room. He net into the house and saw the prisoner strike Mrs. Martina, who complained that he had been breaking her crockery. Gilhani looked himself up in mother room, but Watson forced the door and took him in custody. The female prisoner declared with a blas phemous expression that be should not go, end struck and I scratched the constable. The male prisoner sim p l e st! violently, and Watson was obliged to call another ma, Rey, F 22, to his assistance. He resisted so 'Wendy teat they had difficulty in conveying him to the station-house, and on the way he repeatedly kicked them both. They had been unable to take the woman in custody, but she afterwards came to the station hems and created a disturbance at the door, whereupon Wawa charged her with the assault. The male prisoner conducted himself so violently in the dock, that Mr. Lewis had considerable difficulty in pro sealing with the defence. During nearly the whole ex amination be kept up a running commentary, contradict ing the witnesses for the complainant, suggesting answers to his own tanking the front of the dock with his hands, andLationiating furiously. He was several times rebuked by learned magistrate, and Mr. Lewis threaten= to thr - ow up the case. Mr. Lewis admitted that Gilbam was a man of violent temper and was drunk at the time of the occurrence, but mid the police had need unnecessary violence. He denied that he had assaulted Mrs. Martinez, but said dished struck him with the lock of the door. Mrs. Gilliam had used no violence or bad language. He called several witnesses, but their evidence was confused and contradictory. The male prisoner was fined Si. or one month for each colt, making 151. or three months ; and the female pri mes N. or 14 days for assaulting Watson.

The announcement that the French government requires a cession of territory from Prussia has had _ _ - - an unfavourable effect upon the stock markets, although it is not generally believed to be accurate. The funds have declined per cent., while the re duction in some of the British railways and foreign bonds amounts to I to Banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares are dull, with few transactions. London Financial remain heavy, at the fall of yesterday. There is an inquiry, however. for the shares of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. The demand for money to-day is rather active, and the rate for choice bills is Maintained st 9 per cent. The Indian paper, which has just become due, represents a very large total, but it is fully anticipated that no mercantile failures will be an nounced during the afternoon. The Bank of France return shows this week an increase of 744,0001. in the coin and bullion, and a decrease of 410,0001. in the bills discounted. Consols are now quoted 87i to I for money, and 88 to for the account (September 6). Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, and Brazilian scrip are fiat, and have receded i per cent. ; but Mexican Bonds have improved to the like extent. The other speculative descrip tions are unchanged. Turkish Bonds of 1862 1 are quoted 48 to 50 ; ditto of 1865, 261 to /; I Greek, 11 to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 19 to ; ditto Certificates, 14 to ; Italian of 1861, 501 to 51 ;1 Brazilian scrip, 44 to 4 dis. ; and Mexican, 161 to 171. United States 5-20 Bonds and Erie Railway shares are fractionally lower, at 684 to 4 and 401, to 4, respectively, but Illinois Central are without variation, at 751 to #. Anglo-American Telegraph shares have improved ss.—viz., to 111 to 12. Atlantic Telegraph are also ls. 3d. higher, at 34 to 1. International Financial shares are quoted 2 to 14 dis. ; London Financial, 14 to 13 dis. ; General Credit, 2 to 11 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 31 to dis. ; and National Discount, 7to prem. After a protracted deliberation, the Bank Court of Directors broke up yesterday without making any alteration in the me of dieo;ount. To judge by th-3 large attendance of the commercial public, repre senting all classes of traders to hear the results more than ordinary interest was evinced on this occasion, and the announcement that 10 per cent. is still to be exacted was received with general dis- satisfaction. It may be inferred that the directors are actuated by a desire to protect their reserves, which the last account, published below, shows not to have materially increased ; but the question re mains unanswered whether the course hitherto adopted is not fundamentally wrong. For instance how can the bullion be increased by the charge of 10 per cent., when it is seen that the restriction has been wholly ineffectual to prevent the withdrawal of 300,0001. in the last two days for Brazil ? Sup posing that the rate had been 12 or 15 per cent., would it have had greater force in diminishing this considerable shipment ? Again, does any one be lieve that if the Bank had gone to 8 per cent., this 300,0001. would have been thereby increased by a single sovereign? The fact—well known and well recognised by the commercial public, that when once the rate of discount passes beyond a certain point, 1,2, or 5 per cent. makes no difference in the restrictions imposed—appears incapable of making its way into the Bank parlour. It is cer_ tain that we have now experienced for just three months • hitherto unparalleled pressure in the money market, in order that the Bank accounts might improve, and how barren has been the re sult i The policy which has been followed has failed by that surest of all tests, the test of expe rience. For what good, therefore, can it be any longer persisted in 1 The directors appear to hold it as a point of honour that their Act of 1844 i should not be infringed, and they forget that by I persisting to enforce it to the extreme end, and by the effort to destroy all legitimate trade, they pro nounce its condemnation more emphatically than its strongest opponents It is a lamentable fact that if the commercial credit of England will not fall any farther in the eyes of foreigners, the reason is because it has already reached the lowest point. As long as our national Bank, our monetary representative in the eyes of other countries, sees right to perpetuate distrust by the maintenance of 10 per cent., when little consideration is needed to show that a roduct;on in the rate is the first step to a return of confidence, we must accept our altered position. Whether the nation will be grateful for an infatuated policy that, in a com mercial sense, places us as low as we hitherto have been high, is a question that can receive but one answer. About 23,000 sovereigns from Alexandria and 21,0001. in bars were sent into the Bank yesterday. The Allemannia, from New York, has brought 13,0001. in specie for England.

The following letter relates to the equalization of the gold supply between Paris and London. The difficulty, however, in effecting a transaction of this sort now lies in the fact that it is almost impossible ° to open credits with high class Paris houses in , favour of London firms, except upon remittances , of bullion or its equivalent. Until, therefore, the commercial relations of the two countries have I been restored to their usual footing some other ; mode of transferring gold from Pars to London must be adopted. The simplest plan would be that which was rumoured (without, apparently, any foundation) to be in course of negotiation on TO Ti: EDITOR or TIM nrritroo. Sir,—lt will probably be in the recollection of year financial readers that a few years since, when the Bask of Franca was short of gold and th e Beak of England sot very full of it, that the Bank of Frame made a asst act with certain firms fora supply of some milhons of gold. The operation was in this nature : bills were drawn in Paris on houses in London paya.ble to the order of third who discounted the and remitted the cask to rat s , i iind before the bills became due, the crisis bad passed away, and the money found its way beck to the Bank of Ragland. At the tame it wee criticised by ems financiers as an affair favourable to the Bank of Ragland, and, vice viral., unfavourable to the Bank of Francs. The cost may be thus stated : Three months' interest on 3,000,0001. at 10 per cent. Commission awl expenses per cent 15,000 Total /80,1100 What would be the rest of a like operation at this moment, made by the Bank of Eneand ? Three months' interest on 3,000,0001. at 4 pas cont. COMMiII4OII and expenses 4 per cent. 15,000 Totol Z45,000 the whole of whioh would be Warned to the Beak of England with large profit upon the tanannetion.—l ear, Ina, London, August 9. H. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, August 8, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes: Circulation issue 127,775,260 Decrease 8167,060 Circulation active 26,042,900 Dearman 477,750 Public deposits 3,160,466 Diereses 29,124 Other deposits Government securities in banking department Other securities in banking department 26,156,556 Damsels 410,813 Coin sad bullion in both departments Seven day and other bills 442,818 Decrease 73,920 The Rest 3,798,389 Increase 27,377 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes k coin) in banking dmirtment 3,580,229 Diereses 305.839 The above return is on the whole favourable. The actual purchases of gold and withdrawals for exportation were on balance only 50,0001 against the Bank, and the further decrease is therefore at tributable to the absorption of coin for the harvest. The diminution in the other securities and deposits has nevertheless enabled a fair addition to be made in the reserve. 10,078,123 Dairies* 50,000 BANE OF ENGLAND.

Sir, —As one who had the honour of voting for you at the l ast election, I trust you will pardon me for asking if you agree with the proceedings of Mr. Bales and his friends during the past few weeks. It is possible that I am mistaken, but I cannot help thinking that the language used by those gentlemen has materially it:t iered the cause of reform. Mr. Bright may think they have been engaged noble work,' but I should be softy to find that you entertain any such opinion. Mr. Beaks and the Reform League cry for Gladstone and liberty,' and their scheme of reform includes manhood suffrage. I should not dare to dispute your right to advocate manhood suffrage, though I feel confident that the people of South Lancashire are opposed to such a meuure.—With the deepest gratitude to you for the services you here ren dered to year country, I remain, sir, yours very fully, Wu.
