Webby mid this was* case reserved for theopiaion of the court by the Quarter Elesoions. In 1852 the pariah of w or k eo p was formed into a notsoorporate district under the p r ovisions of the Local Board of Health and the Local fielf.go vernment Acta. The board bad made a rate eorepris. jog for past and future expenditure. An estimate of the money was prepared and approved of by the local board, and the rate was made and published, bat it was not sealed end signed as required by the statute. The appellant Alfred Brock horst appealed against the rate ao several grounds ; amongst them, that the board bad no power to make a rate to cover past and future exposes ; that the estimate for the rate did not show the several swan re. ~uired for each of the purposes far width the rate was nqu ired, and that the rate was void became it had Dot been sealed with the seal of the board, and sicced by Bye of the members in socordanos with the IPtth section of the last act. The justices held that the two first objectless were not tenable, bat thee gusabed the rate cm the last point, subject to the giue oof the court. The learned weasel said the estimate lac pent together the expense' of the election for the nom. I er, of the board and for the sewers, but he was at a loss t.• .00w what consexioa there was between elections and weers other than what had been suggested to him, that there c.s a peat deal of din sometimes thrown at elections. The ratepayers ought to know what was the expense of the eleesions • but for mime goad reason, no doubt, it was hidden away in the 'ewer,. Provision was mode for making than rates, general, "d e l. sod private improver:eat rates, specifying in the eetimatee what mosey was required for cock at those pur pose This was a general rate, and the question was, whether it was necessary to state the estimate for each par r vse for which the rate was required. Mr. Care followed on the same side. Mr. Boyd!, Q.C., for the rseprodeats, admitted then was some doubt about the matter. It was impoesiblit to pre ID a general rats a detailed estimate of what was re qu'red for each of such purpose for which the rats wee -- The Lord Chief Justice said no ; certainly aot. In a general rate the estimate should be for venous charges. That had been dome in this rate, except in the cam of lumping election expenses and the sewers together. It wee a pay to quash that rate spar that informality. if there was really no valid objectiao to the mousy expended, or to be ex r d ;o%ill said the books narking the details of the rate were open to the inspection of the ratepayers. The Lord Chief Justice said greet abuses might, how ever, arise in the expenditure of mosey when they were lumped together as in this oar. Bovill said with regard to the seal and airfare to this rate they were not required. The seal and signature were only wanted when the board directed a thing to be done and not where they bad to do it. The 36th sea pro vided how the board was to act, and they had made this rate accordingly, viz., by resolution adopted by a majority present at the meeting. The court hold that the seal sad a re were not necessary to the rate, bat that with regard to the other point. they would take time to coosider their judgment. .!udguieet reserved.

Hutchison) which I produce. ►Five letters were accordingly put in). I afterwards had an interview with him in .lac. or Feb.. 1839. !saw him at the Oratory. I found his mind perfectly clear and intelligent. He appeared to be of perfectly sound mind. (The witness was not cross examined.) _ _ In answer to the Judge. lir. Deane, Q.C.

The witness was then recalled by his lordship, and stated that he bad sees so symptom either of Washy or paralysis in the testator, Sir James F , met the testator in 1858 in the desert, and travelled with him for about a month. I spent the greater part of every day with him. mid had a great deal of conversation with him on every kind of topic. lie was then of perfectly sound mind. In April. 1861, I called on him at the Oratory and spent about tea minutes with Dim. He appeared then to be in a state of extreme weakness ' whereas in the East be seemed to be as vigorous as I had been myself. It did not occur to roe that bis mind was affected in the slightest degree. He seemed to take great pleasure in hearing me talk of our travels. Prow-examined—He spoke very little. I saw that be was weak, and I begged him not to speak much • but such answers as he made were perfectly connec t e d. I did not observe that his mouth was at all drawn, or that he had any difficulty in forming his words. In the East he walked fast and strongly; and he went up all the moon• ta:ns with me. His voice was husky, like that of a man that had lost his voice from cold, but that was all. He told me that he had suffered much from exhaustion io London from his hard work, and that he had been ordered to travel for a year or two. lie-examtne4 —He told me that he was knocked up with his mission work. He said that be confessed hundreds of people no a Saturday. Br the Jadge—He seemed eery earnest, but be did not seem to bean enthusiast.

Ixekt in consultation with Mr. Teggart. He bad then paralysis of one side of the tongue, which wee in con sw.lueoce smaller than the other. That was of some stand ing. He also suffered from hoarseness and a alight ilitlizulty in swallowing. He was very weak, and lay does a great part of the day ; but I made him wa!a across the room, and there was so halting in his gait. He had bees sahib, iodine and corrosive sub limate, which I approved of, and I only ordered a stomachic l'eder. I thought his paralysis arose from prefigure upon the organ of the nerves of the torgue. Itdid not, however, io the least affect his reasoning powers. I saw him again in AIM!. and his general health seemed somewhat Prnrid. He had hems out of town. On that oocssion also, his mind we. perfectly sound.

Mr. David Lewis, of Arundel— I formerly lived at Bramp ton, white I made the acquaintance of Father 'Hut, chimes. I frequently visited him, at interva/e, from 1849 till 1861.

He frequently west to Father Faber; and he showed me the letters. We bad convernatioes and discussions on all kinds of subjects. I used to go to ask news of the duke's health. The testator's health was not good. I used to sit with him ea hour or an boor and a heft togs thee. We frequestly conversed about the schools which he I bad established, and about the Oratory library. He was making a cata logue for it is 1861. I have received let ters from him a this country.

We are all bound to be obedient. but lam sot aware that his views on that subject were different from other people. In his book on Loretto, there is a passage speaking of theduty of °bedlam,* the Church. [A paean* was read in which the deesemd, while admitting that a belief in the history of the Holy Hoene was not a matter of faith, submitted that to doubt its anthem• ticity would beta effect to declare roods self wiser than the church, the pontiffs, and the saints.] Should think it im possible that he ever hoist into floods of tams while he wee oonvereing.

He said the case war, without doubt, the worst that bed ever come before him in the whole course of his experiencr, especially es regarded the bankrupt's dealings with Henley, the fencing master, an old moldier, from whom he had obtained upwards of 1,0C31. The court had never felt more disposed to exercise the power of imprisonment given it by the :59th section ; but considering that this would deprive the bankrupt of the live lihood he WVA now earning as tutor sod chaplain to a Imam workhouse, the court would not proceed to that extremity, but would summed the order of discharge for twelve mouths longer, making a period of nearly three years that the bankrupt bad been without it. Protection would be given for • month. and would then be withheld for six mouths, unless Mr. Henley, the creditor to whom the bankrupt had behaved so basely, should concur in his application for re newed protection.

This well-known case, which has been before the court upwards of a year and a half, was at length brought to a close by his Honour deliverieg judgment on the bankrupt's application for bis order of discharge. The Commissioner mid the case was one of great mercan tile importance. After going minutely through the facto, he came to the conclusion that the bankrupt had com mitted two of the offences specified in the 159t12 section ; he had embarked in rash and hazardous speculations, and had traded on fictitious capital On those grounds he sus pended the order of discharge for six months, with pro tection.

For choice six months paper 74 was asked. lu the Stork Exchange short loans on English government securities were freely offered at 4 to 5 percent. The annexed notification, relating to the new Mexican Loan, has been forwarded to the Stock Exchange: A Nuto-Fmvat MEXICAN Sti PLR CErr.

A. HEATH. The bar silver '..)y the West India packet was sold yesterday at is. lid. per ounce, showing a reduction of id. from the price realised for the previous supply. In the interim but few transactions have taten place, and prices have been merely nominal. The season for the shipment of bar silver to India is how over, which, combined with the high value of money here, accounts for the present flatness of the ma r ket for his metal. The Mexic.m dollars, by the French mail steamer Tampico, arrived in London yesterday, and were im mediately delivered to the consignees. No sale has yet been effeeteaL The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally steady, at the improvement which took place ou Tuesday. The rates were as follows : Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.191 to 12 : ditto, 3 days, 11.161 to ; kotterdam, 3 months, 11.19 4 to 12; Ant werp. 3 months, 25,53 to 60; Hamburg, ma boom, 3 menthe, 13.8} to ; ram, 3 days, '.5.171 to 23 ; ditto, 3 mouths, 23.60 to .4 ; Franktort-ou-thirMaim, 3 months, 1194 to 1 : St. Petersburg (per ronblel, 3 months, 33 to j; Vignola ed. to., 3 months, 11.75 to 80 ; Trieste, sif.

At Paris and Vienna the rate of discount in the opeu market is 6 per cent. ; Hamburg, Berliu, and Brussels, 4 ; Amsterdam and St. Petersburg, ; Turin, 61 ; and Fraukfurt, 21 per cent. Mr. Augustus Wady, who has long held an im portant financial position with Messrs. Coutta and Co., has been appointed manager of the London Financial Association. Mr. J. E. C. Koch, as already announced, has resumed his seat at the board, and continues his services as permanent member of committee'. Another large undertaking has been announced under the title of the International Contract Company (Limited). The capital is fixed at no less a sum than 4,090,0001., in 80,0 W shares of 501. each. The tint issue is to consist of 40,000 shares, and of these 30,009 have already been sub scribed. The direction is very respectable, and is headed by M. de Salamanca, the eminent hanker, of Madrid and Park. Contracts for 11,000,000/. sterling, includiug that for the Eu ropean Central Railway, have been already secured. The proposed operations of this company are so clearly set forth iu the prospectus that little mar gin is left for comment. lu vesture at times natu rally feel some hesitation in ewbarkieg their funds in enterprises the carrying out of which depends solely on the means of individual contractors, but the establishment of a company with a large subscribed :apical at once removes all doubt, and ensures the execution of contracts, whateverinay be their magnitude and extent. The directors of the lately announced "Imperial Bank of China" have resolved to give the project a much wider scope. With this view the more comprehensive title of the " Imprrial Bank of China, India, and Japan (Limited)" has been selected, and the board have determined upon in creasing the capital of the bank to two millions, in 40,000 shares of 501. each, and issuing 20,000 shares instead of 10,000. as originally announced. An amended prospectus has accordingly been issued, and will be forwarded to each sub scriber. The proposed extrusion has, doubtless, been caused in part by the remarkable extent of the applications for the original capital of the corn parry, which reached no less than 92,000 shares, whist the number to be allotted was, as already stated, only 10,000 ; hut, apart from this, the large dividends declared within the last ten days by three of the flourishing banks connected with India and China must have impressed the directors of this new undertaking with a sense of the extent of the field open to banking operations in the Bast. We have also received a copy of the prospectus of the Newmarket Hotels Company (Limited). The object is apparent from the title. It is mentioned I that the want of increased hotel accommodation •t Newmarket has long been complained of. Accord ingly arrangements have been made with the only two hotels of importance in the town, the Rutland Hotel being acquired for a long term of y and the White Hart Hotel, with the whole of the o being purchased. Both establishments are to be enlarged. It appears that the proprietor of the latter has retired upon a fortune. Upon the face of the prospectus is a long list of noble " patrons." The capital is 100,0001., in 10,000 charm of 101. each, of which one-half are to be issued in the first instance. An erroneous impression seems to prevailtre sporting the new capital of the Bank of Loudon. The new shares will be Oa paid, thus increasing the actual paid up capital by 100,0001., making it 400,0001. . . . . At the meeting of the Scottish Australian Invest ment Company, held yesterday, it was unanimously resolved to create and issue a further amount of 100,000!. of ordinary stock, as well as 179,7741. of 5 per cent. guaranteed preference rock. With re ference to thin new issue of capital, an official circular issued to the shareholders remarks : The ProUre'sive sod rapid development of the resources of the Australian colonies, the recent opening uP of large tract' of new and fertile 'vestry Mena and particularly the foasdiag of the new large colony of Quesuelaad, me eireumatimete which, in th e o pi a k e of your directors, afford opportunity for the advantageous eulargerusat of the sphere of this company's operations sad the increase of its business ; they consider th at th e ti me h as DOW arrived when this favourable state of matters should be takes ad vantage of, and the capital of the company iscressid meet the growing demand for it. A meting of shareholders in the Mexican Bank is called for the 9th May, to confirm a resolution passed at a previous meeting altering the name of the bank to " The London Bank of Mexico and South America (Limited)," and on other business. The Australian Mortgage, Land, and Finance Company, baring already sent out a manager to Queensland, now announce that they are prepared to receive applications for the poet of manager in New Zealand. The susbcription list of the Otago and Southland Investment Company will be closed for London and the provinces on the 27th, and for Scotland on the 29th inst. The share list of the Commercial Finance and Agency Company will be doled on Friday, the 29th instant. The British Shipowners' Company announce that no further applications for shares will be received after, to-day (Saturday). FRIDAY IVINUNI.

The lad Heston, the last of those at large, and fur whine apprehension • reward bad been hawed, was taken at Leeds on Thursday. It appears that he had previously beer an inmate of the Leeds Reformatory, sod that he was the instigator of a similar outbreak there. He was recognised in the street by the schoolmaster, whom he knocked down, and subsequently escaped from two other men, but was at length seized by the police. He hats sold his "hoes. and had purchased • pair of clogs and so old Boat. Of the 12 ',obi implicated as ringleaders in the riot throe had been sent to the Reformatory by order of the Secretary of State, because they had caused outbreaks at other reformat°. rise. Four had only very recently arrived, and are therefore strangers. Mrs. Fist , the wife of the principal, seems to bare acted with much bravery. She was at tea with her family when the outbreak occurred, and she at 000 e west to the scene of riot. and was the mesas of rescuing the schoolmaster, who was bleeding, and faint from the attack made upon him. The rioters instantly desisted ou her appearance, and be. hared most revectfully towards her. The seco n d attack was made during her temporary absence to obtain stimulants for the schoolmaster, and the lads then made their escape. Ma achoder Unardian.
