IN the course of the past week an intelligent correspondent inquired very pertinently in the columns of the IhWy N-ice bow it came about that the bonds of the Orel and Vitebsk Rail way, which are formally guaranteed by the Russian Government, are quoted only at seventy-five ; whereas ordinary Russian stock stands at eighty-six. The correspondent very reasonably observed with respect to this singu lar fact, that under ordinary circumstances the railway loan ought to command the higher price of the two, because there is nut only the Govern ment guarantee, but also the security of the rail way itself in addition. Another correspondent returned an unconscious answer to the inquirypreceding his own communica tion. It is a response at once so important to Bri tish capitalists, and so certain to have its due effect upon Russian securities generally, that both of the correspondents have done good service by calling serious public attention to it. It appears from the second of the letters above-mentioned that, un fortunately for the credulous and long-tried British shareholder, there exists an enterprise called the " City of Moscow Gas Company." Of course the wildest promises were freely made to all who could be thereby persuaded to take a part in this distant and speculative affair. Equally of course the hopes entertained in consequence have been, as anyone acquainted with Russia might have fore seen, signally and utterly disappointed. It appears that a dividend of no loss than sixteen per cent. was considered among the most certain of the inunediate advantages which subscribers were induced to believe would be paid upon their money, and the investment held out still better prospects, which need not be here discussed. The fact wo have to deal with is merely that it seems no dividend is being now paid at all. All British commercial speculations in Russia have hitherto began and ended in the same way. Statements of the most astounding character have been made to all who would listen to them, and when the speculator was once enticed into the net he has been not only duped bnt bullied. Redress is hopeless. There is no redress for local misgovern ment in Russia but public exposure of it in English newspapers. The Emperor of Russia, who is still an absolute Sovereign, is in the main an upright ruler; and he well knows that it is important for Russian securities to make a respectable figure on the London Stock Exchange, which is the great money market of the world. The Chan cellor of the Empire, Prince GORTSCHAKOVE, is also a minister of honour and integrity. When ever abuses are brought plainly before the CZAR or the Minister, and temperately discussed, redress is made easy and probable. But there is only one way to reach them, and that is through the fearless voice of the British press. The whole empire is eaten up with the plague of Tchinovuiks, or official people ; and they are shamelessly and openly corrupt, from the governors who preside as irresponsible entraps over vast provinces, to the venal and hungary secretaries who prowl about their back stairs and ante-rooms. Infamous and haughty as are the provincial heads of depart. ments, they are far eclipsed by their subordinates, who arc merely so many insolent mendicants, dan gerous if their rapacity is not satisfied, and utterly unscrupulous as to the means which they adopt of making their displeasure felt. Thus in Russia, as in some other countries, every detail of administration is confided to men of confused intelligence as to right and wrong ; but who have grown so old in office that they are acquainted with every device and subterfuge by which they can render them selves powerful and feared. Practically the Russian Empire is ruled by this dreary tyranny of small clerks. No one knows this better than the EMPEROR and his Prime Minister. Whatever may have been their political faults and shortcom ings, judged by the liberal and advanced princip'ea which guide public opinion in Western Europe, it is due to them to state that from the beginning of the present reign they have discountenanced the public robbers who prey like a host of locusts upon the fairest promise of the land. The misfor tune is that they can do so little. The small clerks have a cunning of their own such as to surprise all men who have to deal with them. They disappear with the first note of danger. It is im possible to get at them. They hide behind the very chiefs they have misled and deceived, and their disgusted principals are often obliged to em ploy all their eloquence, fame, experience to defend dishonest dolts who have disgraced the dignity and repute of some principal department of State. The ramifications of the mischievous, vexatious power of these clerks are quite sur prising. They are so banded and leagued together among themselves that they have a peculiar official language and code of signals, which they use to torment any minister bold enough to question their doings, and to frustrate his plans. The endless maze of papers and documents in which public business is inextricably involved, and the slow and tedious form of procedure in every case, furnish them with terrible weapons of defence, however resolutely called The TeleonvA suggests th — at Tortola may possibly have perished by some volcanic uphesving. The sinking of the sea-base of the island so much as 50 feet into the ocean would probably destroy life enough to justify the telegram ; and this may turn out to be the actual nature of the catas trophe. In that case the colonist negroes upon the bill sides and along the upper part of the valley, with some few, perhaps of the harbour people, would have escaped; but the wholesale disappearanoe of the spot is almost as possible. In our day, and as near at hand as the Grecian seas, we have seen how an island can be suddenly created. At Santorin, off the coast of Sicily. ono disappeared not long ago, and the tropical waters where the powers of nature are fiercest and moat restless exhibit inch pheno mena far more frequently. The most remarkable incident of the Lisbon catastrophe, observes the Star, was one which exactly corresponded with the occurrence on which we are all now intent. The sea first r,n out, leaving the harbour and even the bar exposed and dry. Then it rushed impetuously in, rising fifty feet higher than its wonted level. The mountains adjacent were shaken and split ; the buildings composing a great part of the city fell with one shock. But what moat impressed the imagination of that ago was the fear ful subsidence of a great marble quay. Upon it crowds, fleeing from their homes and from their churches—which wen crowded and illuminated, for it was a great festival day—ha I thronged for safety, when suddenly it sank beneath the waves. IR TOPIC& The Daily News gives some account of the financial diffi culties of the Papal government. The blankets who negotiated the last loan are already reminding probable investors that something more than a third of that loan remains yet to be taken up. Three years ago the Pope owed 20,000,0001., and was unable to pay the interest. If Cardinal Antonelli can discover a capitalist so devoted to the temporal power as to make advances without the remotest probability of obtaining a farthing's interest, no doubt the Roman question will be solved. Otherwise the only resource to which the court of Rome can appeal is the tax on pauperitm and ignorance, which is designated " Peter's pence." The total result of five years' collection of Peter's pence, contribute I by those 200,000,000 of catholics of whom we hear so much, is something less than 91..5. head annually. The Queen (says the Court Jourdat) has taken her daily carriage and walking exercise during the week, frequently breakfasting ►t Frogmore at an early hour. Her Majesty will leave Windsor Castle for Osborne about a fortnight before Christmas, probably on the 16th Decem ber, after paying her annual visit with the Royal Family to the tomb of tho late Prince Consort on the 14th, the anniversary of Lis death. It was remarked that the air of Windsor must have bad a very beneficial effect on the Princess of Wales during her short visit there, as on leav ing her Royal Highness walked from the Queen's private waiting-room to the saloon carriage of the railway with much greater ease, and was looking a great deal better than on her arrival.

(THIS DAL) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCE. Sittings in Binco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Mellor, Shoe, and Lush.) Tf!C QCEIT NELbON. . _ _ In this ease a rule nisi had been obtained for a quo warranto calling upon Mr. Nelson to show cause by what authority be exercised the office of Registrar of the City County Court. The applicant, Mr. Osgood, was registrar, and Mr. Aikman was bailiff of the court. Some disputes arose between them as to who should hand the surrenders and documents to the judge of the court, which led to unpleasantness, and in consequence an inquiry took place before a committee of the Court of Common Council, and upon their report the Court of Common Council proceeded to remove both from their offices. The parties were heard, and evidence taken before the committee, but not before the Common Council, and that point was taken by counsel before the court, that it was necessary that any charges made against him should be substantiated by evidence before the court. A member of the court then proposed to inquire of the recorder and common serjeant whether that were so ; but the question was not put, and the court thereupon re moved Mr. Osgood, and appointed Mr. Nelson, the City solicitor, temporarily to fill the office. The applicant had made an affidavit that no charge bad been made or proved against him of misbehaviour, or incapacity, or neglect, or any reasonable cause for his removal. The appellant further claimed that it was a freehold office. _ _ Mr. Mellish, (.C., and Mr. Archbold appeared to•day for the corporation, to show cause against the rule; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C, Mr. Serjeant Atkinson, and Mr. Prentice appeared in support of the rule. It appeared at the commencement of the case that there were so many important matters of fact in dispute upon the affidavits, that it would be impoasible to decide the case upon them, whereupon The Lord Chief J ustice suggested, and, after some discus sion, it was adopted by the learned counsel, that the rule for the quo warrant° should stand over; that a writ should issue for money had and received, which should be turned into a special case, the disputed facts to be ascertained b a member of the bar, and that the decision on the special case should be taken and entered on the judgment of the court on the quo warranto. That course would allow either party to go into error. DARBY V. MALES AND °THERA. ..... -...-.-.. This was an action to recover the amount of salary as , secretary to the Junior Reform Club, and for preliminary expenses out of pocket in establishing the club, tried before , Mr. Justice She., when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 1201. salary, 2151. for preliminary expense, and Si. damages for wrongful dismissal. The aka defendants it will be recollected, are members of the Reform League. Mr. Quain, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Crompton, moved for • rule nisi calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not he set aside and a new trial had, on ' the grounds of misdirection, and also that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. The defendant had been induced to enter into the scheme on the express promise or agreement of the plaintiff that they should incur no personal liability, he having I,ooof. with which to pay the prelinimuy expenses. The learned counsel submitted at the trial that when he proved that, there was an end of the case, but the learned judge directed the ,jury that that was set aside by a reso lution of the committee of the 7th of May, which stated that the preliminary expenses were not to exceed 1,0001., and that if 200 members were elected the club should be considered as established, and that the secretary should be entitled to the repayment of the pre liminary expenses and of the entrance fees. That re solution was no contract between the plaintiff and the defendants, but • resolution come to by the defendants, which the plaintiff, as secretary had to record iu the minute-book. The Lord Chief Justice said that the resolution of the 7th May altered the basis of the arrangement between the parties. Hs was no party to it. Mr. Quain complained that that was a question of fact which should have been left to the jury. [The case was proceeding when our report left.] -• COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE LEWIS ISAACS. This was an application for leave to issue process, not withstanding the execution of a deed by the debtor, who was a horse dealer of Bell.lane, Spitalfielda. His Honour, in giving judgment, said this case illus trated in a remarkable way how the deed clauses in the act of 1861 might be made subservient to putposes of fraud. The debtor had carried on the business of a I horse dealer, or rather horse chauntsr, going about picking up horses, and getting rid of them as be could. Having had an accident and broken his leg, be called in Mr. Llewellyn, a medical man, whose bill, for a very long attendance, was only 18!. Afterwards'. the debtor got up a deed which contained only the names , of three creditors—one was his sister, another a Mr. I Harris, a fruit dealer, with whom he lived, and a Mr. Solomons. The effect of this deed would be that Mr. Llewellyn, instead of 18/., would only get about 18s. There was great doubt as to thebona bdesof the allegedcre ditors but unfortunately for Mr. Llewellyn he had lain by too long—upwards of four months. Though there was strong ground for believing that the debts were fraudulent, the court could not, after such a lapse of time, grant Mr. Llewellyn the relief be :asked, by ordering execution to issue. Ml.. Bagley asked that the petition should be dismissed with costs ; but his Honour refused to give costs. IN RE ALFRED GOLDR)111'). The bankrupt was a wholesale jeweller and Birmingham and Sheffield factor, of Houndschteh. He owes to unse- cured creditors 3,183/.; assets are returned at 986/. Kr. Reed stated that the assignees had indicted the bankrupt for making away with property ; but he had been tried and acquitted—the jury giving him the benefit of a doubt. He had been ordered to file certain accounts, but had not done so. An adjournment was therefore asked. After hearing Mr. G. Lewis for the bankrupt, who stated that the property had been given up, and sold for nearly tOOL, His Honour directed an adjournment. (Before Mr. Registrar Murray.) IN RI RAIRIOOS. This was the first sitting in the bankruptcy of George Henry de Strabolgie Neville Plantagenet Harrison, de. scribed as of 48, Bedford-row, and 85,Seymourntreet, carry ing on business as a genealogist and herald, in the name of James Philippe. The bearer of all these historic MIMI came before the wart with debts of 2t.;:if. only, and he re turns the debts due to him as of greater amount. He ascribes his failure to lows in business, and having been served with a bankruptcy summons at the suit of a credi tor. Mr. H. Balls, accountant, Bucklerabury, was chosen trade assignee. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) The November session of the Central Criminal Court was opened this morning at the Old Bailey. There were present the Lord Mayor (Alderman Allen), the Recorder (the Right Hon. Russell Gurney). Alderman Sir Sydney Waterlow, Alderman and Sheriff Stone, Alderman J. C. Lawrence, Alderman Causton, Sheriff M'Arthur, I'nder aberlif Davidson, and Undersheriff Roche. Th e calendar' shows a total of ti 3 oases standing for trial, and the offences are thus classified :—Arson 4 ; bigamy, 1; burglary, 7 ; uttering counterfeit coin, 12% chapel-breaking and larceny, 3 ; embezzlement, 2; forgery, 3 ; larceny in a dwelling- I house, 1 ; larceny, 8 ; larceny from the person, 7; larceny as a servant, : 1; misdemeanour, 4 ; murder, 1 ; accessory to rape. 1 • robbe ry , 4 ; feloniously wounding, 2. The Rec o rder, in charging the grand juiy, remarked that u so short a time had elapsed since last session, their duties would not be very heavy. There was one charge of wilful murder against Ernest Roder, who was indicted for murdering the child of a woman with whom Le lived, but it was not his child. There was no doubt the death was caused by an injury in the forehead ; and what the , jury would have to consider was whether that was an accidental injury caused by a fall of the child, or who- thee it was willtilly caused by the prisoner. On this point the medical evidence was that it might have been caused either way. The prisoner's statement was that the child fell on the floor while in a fit, and the main evi dence for the prosecution wee that of a female neighbour, who stated that on looking through a hole in the door she saw the prisoner throw the child violently down, and the question for the jury to consider was whether her evidence WAS to he relied upon. There were three charges of arson one against a person of the name of Duncroft, for setting fire to a wheat rick. The principal witness in this ease deposed that he saw the rick on fire and immediately afterwards sew the prisoner walking along. A sub sequent examination showed that the footmarks near the spot corresponded with the prisoner's boots, but the prisoner suggested that the fire was caused by a spark from his pipe, and that he was not therefore liable to • criminal charge. The second charge of arson was against a publican named Richard Morris, for setting fire to his house. On • Sunday afternoon he and his children left the house, and shortly afterwards flames were seen to issue from it. In the cellar certain articles were found to have been steeped in spirits, and there was also a quantity of gunpowder placed in one of the casks. The prisoner's reply on being spoken to was that some enemy must have done it ; but it would be p rove d th a t shortly before he had purchased some gunpowder. The third charge was against two persons named Smith and Edson, and the interest in this case arose from the fact of one of the prisoners being a police constable, his motive for the alleged offence being fur nished by himself in a statement he bad made to the effect that on • former occasion, when he had been the first to discover a fire, he had received some remuneration. The learned Recorder then alluded to some other cases in the calendar, and the grand jury thereafter retired to their room. THE CHARGE OF ZWRIZZLIDIUT ASLINST EARL SHATTER SOWS STEWARD. It is expected that an application will be made to the court on Wednesday morning to fix a day after the De cember session for the trial of Mr. Robert Short Waters, on a charge of embezzling a very large sum of money belong ing to his late muter the Earl of Shaftesbury, in whose service he was employed as steward. This case, it lei be remembered, has stood over for a very long time, and proceedings in Chancery have bein going on between the parties. Upon the last occas sion the trial was postponed for twelvemonths, as 'it was expected that during this interval the Court of Chancery would have given a final decree, which might have obviated the necessity for going on with the criminal proceedings, this has not, however, been done. and both parties are consequently in the same position that they were on the former occasion, and it is therefore ex pected that the attempt to force on the trial by the defen dant will be approved on the part of the prosecution. At all events, however, it is understood that the trial will not come on the present session of the Central Criminal Court. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The November adjourned general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell- e reen, before the Assistant Judge and the following magistrates:—Mr. Rigg, Mr. John Bentley, Mr. Longden, Mr. S. E. Esker, Mr. J. G. Filcher, Sir James Tyler, Mr. Rankine, 114. Twentyman, &c. THZ CA Isms. The calendar contains the names of 91 prisoners com mitted for trial, tll being indicted for felony and 10 for miscleamennour. The offences with which the prisoners stand charged ooneist of robberies from the person, assaults and causing actual bodily harm, sheep stealing, obtaini ng goods by false pretences, robberies in dwelling-houses, indecent assault., robbery from a ship whilst lying in the port of London, embezzlement by 'enfants, and lereral other offences. THE GLUED JUST. The required number of gentlemen surrendered as grand jurors. Haring answered to their names, they were see m by Mr. Rumbelow, the officer of the court, and 'mi t er been briefly addremed by the assiatantlwlge, they Jewe l l to their room. THE SHAM GOLD WATCH CASE. Charles Suter and Edtrard Coulson, who were convicted two sessions since on an indictment charging them with endeavouring to obtain GI. by false pretences from .L.ha Stringier Upsall, by falsely representing that a watch they presented to pawn was gold, and marked with the mark of the Goldsmiths' Company, whereas it was only base metal, and the mark 'aid to be that of the Goldsmiths' Company was a forgery, were brought up for judgment. At the trial Mr. Poland, who appeared for the prisoners, raised a legal objection to the conviction, contending that the offence only amounted to an exaggeration of the quantity of gold in the cases, and therefore was not a criminal offence, for if that were hold to be so there was scarcely a shopkeeper in London who could not be charged in a similar manlier. The Assierant-Judge thought this was a point worthy of consideration, and as there had been no previous decision upon it he consented to a case being submitted upon it to the Court of Criminal Appeal. This was accordingly done, and on Saturday last the question was argued by Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Collins for the prosecution, and Mr. Poland for the defence, and the judges a ff irmed the conviction, and of course t his morning the prisoum were brought up for judgment. The Assistant-Judge said this case had been very ably argued by the counsel on both sides on Saturday last, sad the court bad rpproved the decision of the jury by whets the prisoners had been tried, and said they considered the verdict was right. He should make • difference in the cases of the two prisoners, but still be should pass a severe sentence to deter others from the commission of such ' offences. The sentence upon Suter was imprisonment and hard labour for nine months, and Coulson fm sia months. Suter wished before he left the dock to say that be never represented that the cases were ball marked, but only gold. The Judge said that point had already been settled by the jury. The prisoners were then removed to the cells. (Before Mr. Payne.) THE DEFECTIVE JURY LISTS. The Deputy Assistant-ifedgs made some observations upon the defective state of the jury lists. Out of shoat 70 persons summoned only 35 were qualified to serve. Great delay was also experienced in making up that number. One of the gentlemen fell down in a fit upon his name being called out. Ho was examined by Dr. Marsh, of St. John-street, who ordered his removal home at once. APRISONER MERCIFULLY DEALT WITH. Philip Dickey, 17, waa pleoed iu the dock charged with stealing 12 cigars, value 2a., the property of Morris de Haas, his master. Sterling prosecuted ; Mr. Cooper Wyld defended. By the advice of his counsel prisoner, who had originally pleaded not guilty, withdrew that plea and pleaded guilty and the Deputy-Aaidstant Judge conceded to the appeal o. the parties and let the prisoner out upon his father and brother entering into their recognisance to bring him up he should be called upon. The prisoner, who seemed thankful foe the leniency shown him, then left the court with his friends. THE POLICIE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. VAN ROBBER' ES. Samuel Lenth‘r a labourer, was charged before the Lord Mayor, with 'Waling a quantity of door cloth. Benjamin Stroud, a csirrnanin the employment of Maas. Pickford and Co., carriers, Wood-street, deposed that between 2 and 3 o'clock on Saturday to observed a man take • bale, containing ten yards of floor cloth, from his van in Watlingetreet, and give it to the pri soner, who then walked away. Witness followed him, and uked him why he had taken the bale of cloth, and the prisoner, in reply, inquired why the witness bad not followed the other tau. Stroud told him that he bad come after him because he had the property, and he then gave him into custody of a constable to whom the prisoner admitted that he had taken the cloth because :se had bad nothing to eat on that or the previous day. The prisoner was remanded till Friday, and it was ex pected that in the meantime the police would succeed in apprehending the other man concerned in the theft. Michael Murphy, a lad wearing an apron, who had no employment and was known to gain his livelihood by steal ing from vans, was charged with being in the unlawful possesaion of 13 oranges. A policeman observed the prisoner attracting the atten tion of a carman by twirling some coppers while another lad was engaged in abstracting some oranges from a box as the other side of the van. The prisoner ems afterwards apprehended with some oranges in his posses•aon. In reply to the Lord Mayor he admitted stealing the oranges and was sent to prison for 14 days. BOW-STREET. THE SHAM I.OAN-OFFICE. John Oren * WhittinrtO , ol, who it now appearsis meek bettor known as Rithardx, w.,s brought up on remand for further examination on the charge of übtaining a therms for 101. from Mr. Buick, of Bowling-green-lane, Clerks*. well, by false pretences. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Harper, from the office of Mr. Froggatt, of Argyll-street ; and Mr. Wontner, sen., defended the prisoner. Mr. Harper said that as the police had not ve sac. eeeded in apprehending the prisoner's confederate, Roberts, it would be necessary to ask for another remand. The case against Whitticgstall would, however, he strengthened by the examination of Mr. Pratt, who would prove that to bad no such negotiation with the prisoner as the latter represented. Indeed the prisoner's very name (Whitti n g stall) was unknown to him. There were two letters which would be put in and which would show that the prisoner had been engaged in other transactions of a similar na ture. He believed that hereafter he should be Mile to bring forward other charges. Mr. Pratt, residing at Cuckfield, in Sussex, earning ta business for the last 30 years as a newspaper proprreter in Bolt-court, Fleet-street, said he knew the prisoner. not by the name of Whittingatall, bat by the name of Richards. He bad never drawn a cheque for lOU/. far the prosecutor. Mr. Mick, and indeed bad never heard of him till he heard of this case after the prisoner's apprehension. The pri,oner had never made any application to him shout lending money to Mr. Blink. In fact at the time of the pretended negotiation witness was not in England, but part of the time at Peris, and part of the time at Naples. The only transaction he ever had with the prisoner was in August ' and September—the last few days of the former rt,adt and find few of the latter. The prisoner at that tim e introduced to him a gentleman who wanted • lo.di ot 130/. Prisoner was a mere agent in the transaction. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—Witness adv.,neol the money to the gentleman on ample security, not at all on the credit of the prisoner, of whom lie had hitherto known nothing, and who would not be liable it the borrower should not pay. Should not have enter tained the transaction with Mr. !Slick if it had been rub mitted to him. Never lent money without personal kumr ledge of the party. Mr. Wontner—You did not know the gentleman Fng mentioned till the prisoner introduced him to you. Mr. Pratt—But I sew him personally, and called IWO him at a government office where he is engaged. Mr. Wuntner suggested that the prisoner might him believed that he could get the bill discounted by Mr. Pratt The memorandum produced on the last occasion appointed to return the bill or the money, less discount, on Frbisi , and it now appeared that the 101. cheque waa given on the I Thursday. I Mr. Harper said that did not affect the charge, w hich was that the prisoner obtained the 101. che. i ne by the `al. , pretence that a 100/. cheque drawn by Mr. Pratt in favour of Mr. Blick was actually waiting at Mr. Pratt's office. Mr. Wontncr said he hoped the letters put in would not prejudice the magistrate's mind. Mr. Flowers—lf I were disposed to be p-eiudioed,l hot received a great many letters myself. But Ido not think 1 it fair to pay any attention to them. 1 endeavour to me' fine my mind to the evidence. The prisoner was again remanded.
