Deetjen and Schroder. of Hamburg, who are alleged to have been for some time in the habit of supplying several foreign market' with bottled malt liquors bearing imitations of Messrs.

The court has decided, " That the de fendants are hereby interdicted from using, in disposing of their malt liquor, a label with plaintiffs' firm, under a penalty of one thaler (or about Ss.) fur every bottle so labelled and then disposed of either by defendants or by their con currence ; reserves plaintiffs' claims for loss or damage sustained, and finds defendants liable in expenses."

The meaning seems nearly the same; yet there I. a very nice distinction." Variona answers were given. " Well," he said, " it lies in this : you sit upon a form, but you stand upon ceremony."—" Morrow's library" ie the Mudie of Dublin; and the Rev. Mr. Day, • popular preacher. "How inconsistent," said the archbishop, "is the piety of certain ladies here. They go to day for a sermon and to morrow for a novel ! "—I At • dinner party he celled out soddenly to the host, "Mr. —!" There was silence. " —. what is the proper female companion of this John Dory l" After the usual number of guesses an answer came, " Aline Chary." —Doctor Gregg :—The new bishop and he at dinner.

"My lord," aid the archbishop, "did you ever bear the story of Lord Mulgrave's chaplain r " No," said the lord lieutenant. " A young chaplain had preached a sermon of great length. 'Sir, said Lora Mulgrare, bowing to him, there were some things in your sermoa of to-day I never heard before.' ' O, my lord,' said the flattered chaplain, 'it is a oomuioa text, and I eould ore have hoped to have said anything new on the ' I heard the clock strike twine,' said Lind Mulgrave.''—At some religious ceremony at which he was to officiate in the country, a young cunte who attended him grew very nervous as to their being late.

Lloyd and Co., dated Sydney, Dec 22, remarks as follows : A great deal of consternation was occasioned by the new colonial treasurer's first proposal to =lead the sairtiag tariff. That propoul wan nothing lam than an ad ravens duty of from five to ten per cent. upon nearly every article of import. The scheme however was so strenuously opposed by the merchants and general public, that after being per. anted in for about a week, greatly to the inconvenienoe of consignees, and of the London ships, which were unable to discharge their cargoes, it was abandoned by the ministry, and the tariff published on another page proposed in its stead. It will be seen that the principle of ad valorewt duties is abandoned, and that the present scheme is based on the ordinary practice of collection by weights and manures. It is generally supposed that the pr oposal now under moulders tion will, with ionic few alterations, be carried through the legislature. SAresDAT EVZIMIKL Consols, which closed yesterday at 91 to 1 for the Bth of March, were first marked to-day 911 and 911, and closed at 911 to 1. For money the last price was 901 to 91.

Excl - equer Bills remain at 9s. to 3s. dia. The foreign stock market improved in the morn ing, especially as regards Greek, Egyptian, and Mexican Bonds, but became rather dull in the afternoon, and closed below the best point of the day. Notwithstanding the continued creation of new banks, the prices of the shares of existing banks remain very firm, with an upward tendency. An advance has taken place to-day in Alliance Bank, Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and Chins, European, Imperial Ottoman, London and Ham burg, Oriental, and Metropolitan and Provincial Bank. The rise in the latter instance was caused by the rumoured accession of three new and influential directors to the board. Royal Mail Steam and National Steam shares have slightly improved. International Financial shares closed rather bet ter than yesterday, at 74 to 71 prem. General Credit were also firmer, at 21 to 3 prem., while London Financial were well supported at yester day's advanced quotation of 134 to prem. , The shares of the Land Securities Company were last quoted 14 to 11 prem. ; Mauritius Land Credit, par to prem. ; Credit Foncier of Miuritici, 1 to 11 prem. ; Anglo-Italian Bank, to prem. ; Mercantile Credit, 4 to 5 prem. ; Contract Cor poration, 11 to 1/ prem. ; Credit Foncier (Great Britain), 11 to 2 prem. ; London Mercantile Dis count, 2 to 3 prem. ; London, Italian, and Adriatic Steam, 1 die. to par ; Australian and Eastern Navigation, 61 to 7 prem. ; Ottoman Financial Association, Ito prem. ; Consoli dated Discount, 1 dui. to par ; and Wallachian Petroleum, to 11 prem.

LONDON -NECROPOLIS AND NATIONAL MAUSOLEUM COMPANT. —The annual general meeting of this company wee held oa clatord•y at the Chola in Weetrainster•bridge road ; Hr. Alderman Dalein in the chair. The report read by the secretary stated that the revenue account showed • marked improvemeat in the boarams of the company, the receipts of 1863 @bowing an incamodof 7301. on throe of 1862. A paw station had bean erected on rain line of the Son* Western Railway adjoining the cemete y, which would afford greater facility for burials, and re more valuable the 1,200 acres of surplus land belonging to the company. The funerals during the peat year have been of a mach higher clam than those of former yearn, and therefore more remunerative, and the directors have every reason to hops for a large increase in the bailees' of the company. The expenditure for the year had bore 7,3241. Me tid., which had exceeded the receipts by 9121. 14s. 10d., but there had been received for the sale of earring land 7551. 4s. 91., thus reducing the actual loos to 1871. 10a. Id. The chairman. in moving the adoption of the report, mad the directors had full faith in the future prosperity of the country, and had so doubt they would, before another year, be in a position to declare a dividend. He believed this from the daily Moms ing nature of the business, sad from the fact that, while in 1861 the expenditure exceeded the income by 1,!; , 61., in 1863 it was only 9421. Mr. Austin seconded the resolution, which was carried. General tlir Chattertoc, Mr. H. Wilkisson, and Mr. F. Dotriama, the retiring directors, wore re-elected, and Mama Warren and Watkins were re-eleoted anditorn.
