The Esoress tap, not mew; the Confederation say, the sooner t e baiter. It is clear that if the esnveuience of O • ruling power and of parties Later/rated in opposing an equitable adjustment of fasten ti alsne consulted, they are cuten to ease to morrow ea the die of reckoning—not to-day ; but that " to wer°. " will never come until the people have shown that the payment of the debt must no bearer be postponed. The Express .rAco certain reason why the qualities of direct taxation would nut be pressed forward, and &meg others, that were the ex sting burden " now to be ell distributed in direst IS •si •Il at once, the income of r dived property would sot canoe." The Err re misapprehends the pricciple on which the outederation proceed. They do not desire to plain the burth-a on realised property exclusively, u the paese elate quoted would indicate the opiuiao to be, but to theutbest• it over incomes from whatever source derived, the capitalcation of such incomes being the bas • of aso as ment, au that the income from the most precarious source would nay Baja* proportion according to its real value, In the WS. way es would incoase from realised property. Under be pre set Meonte.taz all yearly incomes, whether derived from certain or uncertain soarers, per:salami or pre. carious, are treated as of equal value, whiles they are not so in fact—the capitalisation as each income would get at the just medium. The arrameat *a urged, that the necessary revues could not be rat ed by direct taxation. Why could it not ? Direct taxation implies the existence of property, aid theccafedera tion consider that property is the sole spares treat which wisdom sesadd be drawn. There is only the alternative of poverty, if property be not held as thu legitimate basis. Coder the indirect system poverty pays, end property tejoys eamparatlia exesnete di. By capitalising the income of each sea, from wastever source drawn, that income is converted kite property, and matte amenable is state necessities; hut thee, by tamale 'rich tun according to the just value of his income, the meimial burden is distrihuted over the whole warkes of society ia precis. and just proportions. Bee the necessary result. The skill and inoustry of the psple, which are the inetrumesta by which capital is brought late existence, and from which spring the value of ail reelissi peo;.erty, arc at once roll. ve el, and allowed to Csmin the pulurasance of their proper functions; and oldicion of oil closes is correepoodingly improved. What can I e said iu favour of • system of tuition which operates as • drag chain on the industry and enterprise of a maple f If capital be the additional value conferred on matter be labour and skill—and as it mast be to the interest of a natSwe eulkotively, u ss ell as to individuals, that the ereation of e..yuul should not he impeded, what solid arra meat can be used in favour of saddling the creative power with so large a bur. 'en while it is engages] in the performance of its labours ? None. And yet the middle and labouring classes have to wound with these burdens while they ore employed in prodieciug that which euriclus their country. The labour is the ire, while the harvest is reaped by others sad, together with that, the creation of capital is ob4naoted to • very large extent. The tales on their toe, their sager, coffee, tobacco, beer, &c.. enhance their cost of living *early by one half, Wilde they Omit them at a greet cdstdvantage in foreign aesthete against the more lightly taxed people of other notions. II it be just that each man should contribute to the sup port st the state, according to bit meas.', the indirytt sys tem of taxation cannot by possibility carry out that pried *. Ilene is nothing whatever to compel the recipient of 310,0001. a Tsar to spend one penny more its the oecessaries el his than does the man iambs' 20s • wes k. The latter pays is indirect taxes little short of 10s. out of his 205., while the loner r has it in his power to rasa off ,on the pay met of a similar amount of 10s. • week ; and yet the one Ms wily 20e. • week in the shape of means to be protected by the state, while the other has his 30,0001, per annum. It is so reply, that the man of the larger incense may indulge la luxuries, sad that these arc also taxed; it is quite a mu se of his own pleasure whether he does or cot; but the poorer men cannot so escape; he must hare tea sad sugar, sad beer and tobeeco, as being to him obsolete asesmaries ; and spcial care bar been take* to impose such • rate of tax ea thou art Wes as to throw the Ingest portion of the n•- Metal heathen on ths coasumere of them. It is raid by some, that while they would relieve the so esseari eat life from taxation, they would tax what they call luxuries ; and then they are puzzled to amigo a ruin habi tation to the article they would consider a luxury. Thus parties commit two arrive. If it be necessary to raise • 'me tals amount of taxation to meet certain enstagemeate, the idea of Inning on an uncertain source ef supply is sorely merles. If the use of certain arthles, termed kiwis, is to be depended on, then faith is plastid ea • broken reed, as all experience has shown. A man may use such articles, or be may not, bat the day of payment, sad the amount to be mid by the state, are certain. As the engagements are metals, why should sot the meet certain nu W we posses' be fi xed ea as the sums of payment ? And as to the die entity of fixing what a " la is, it must be said that the matter is speedily disposed of by holdinq the imam, or the mesas to buy, as the real commodity entitled to that distils:- doe. Let that view be adopted, end fur all purviews of tax &Boa, the legislature cannot go wrong; so that, if • man spent or saved his income, it would be the same to the state; but he could not defraud the stare of his just contribution for the protection his property received, nor would others be compelled to pay what he bad withheld by his saving dispo sition. Nor would the admits.* it dissect taxation stop there. It would disengage the mormstas amemat of capital now ab stracted from the labour sued, in the name of customs and • MAIO duties., and make it avaßable foe purposes of trade. That capital, with all other capital engaged in business, would p dorm its legitimate functions, and yield its profit before a tax became exigible ; on profits alone could • tax be levied ut der the direct system, as proposed by the con federstion,for they bold that*, withdrawal of owl'sl to meet state purocoes is mist ruinous in its effects, both to the or tion collectively, and to the people who depend on their labour for their means of subsistence. Trade would be fectlitated by the removal of all restric tions springing hues the existence of the customs and excise. All existing taxes would be abolished, and only one tax—that oa espitalmod income, would be levied. The expense of mi kados of the revesue, now amounting to several millions, would b ' reduced to a comparative trifle. Industry would be larreli stimulated, and the principal necessaries of life would he reduced to nearly one-half their present value ; so that, while the 'mount of the tax which would be imposed would be governed solely by the means of the party paying, it would be much more than censpensatei by.the reduction in the cost of living, and the increased value of all reamed Pi re d ihnuld heir me more of the tel on tea, the tax on anger, on beer, es Whew,'" timber, on brick., on soap, nor on any other artists •whialt ear tastes or our usamities sight indulge us to mansfestare ',import.

Audiu the mainmeases of the public penes sad efgood government wit the nolenise theaweives, • police force, which the esioniele weld, is iereases. he bath able and willing to mantels milvely from their own resources, is all that Is really semmary. The light ia which military establishments for the coked. a are regarded by the colonists themselves ma be aseerained, with perfect facility. from the followinglnstructive facts. When New South Wales, the colony with which I am best sequaisted, was a penal settlnesin, the complement for that coney was three reer(mate of 'abater. Bat, es Supporta dee to New South Wales has been diesestinsei for the last nine years or thenabotits, while there has teen a very large influx of free immigrants from the united kingdom during the last twelve years, the boss government had very wisely &Weaned, sanest ears ago, to reduce the military establish. meat of that depe deaey. Whoa the matempleted redee ten was first aaaoanced in the macaw ' the late Richard Wisdryer. Esq., barrister-at law, ens .1 the ablest and moat deservedly popular members doer colonial legal' anus, men tioned the eireneestsnee to me, sad *ammo! • hope that I, as as of the npressatatives of Port Philip is that legis lature, would Min him and cartels of the other popular members in getting up a strong petition and remonstrance from the a mind to the home government artsioat the reduc tion. I told him, in reply, that I thought the c ntemplited masers a very wise one on the part of the home govern. meat, as I had long been of °piston that we could do very well in New South Wales without soldiers at all. " What!" Said Mr. W., " do you sot knew that every regiment we home here ensures an additional expenditure ot 100,0001. a year of British money in the colony ?" the oaken, it mans, being supposel to expend • great clod mime generally than their mere pay. When the angel reduction ot the military force of the colony to a tingle regiment was formally amounted to the ceased, UM" was • prodigious term of opposition to the measure in that body generally ; but as no ewe pence could allege that the presence of a military force was at all secessmy for the de fence and protection of the colony, either hem without or from within. and as it would not have boss expedient to pet for ward Mr. Wiedryer's ea reessa47 7 7podag the reduction too broadly, the chord that was mice the occasion wee the crying Wasik. of putting so important and valuable a colony as New Smith Wales with only one regiment, when other colonies of far leis impaction and value, am, foe in seam*, the Matoitise, the Cape, sad New Zealand, had each three or four. But the reason assigned by Mr. Windryer was unquestionably the true one, and the people of England are therefore to linden:sod that if they are to centimes to be burthened with the maintenance of a large military force io the colonies, it is not because such • force is at all necessary for the protection and defence of these colonies, but because it is prel•able for the colonists to have a large expenditure of British snag going on among them. My own otlectione to the presence and maintenance of a military force in the colonies are twofold : leret, it is a nuns of demoralisation to the colonies. Druukennen, and dissipation in every other brutalising and offensive form, is the uniform accompaniment eves of the British army, and the evil that is dons to *Medal moiety in this way far more than counterhalaines any imaginary benefit arisiog from the preseace of • military force even in the way of xpenditure. It is not merely the bad maniple of the common soldier that deteriorates and demoralises our colonial communities : the oGeen are often worse then the soldiers themselves. A case in point, that occasioned • prodigious sensation in our colo- Biel capital jest be'ore embarked for England, occurs at this moment to my recollection. A captain in one of the argimente then stationed in New South Wales bad seduced a very interesting young woman, the sister in-law of a highly esepectable and prosperous tree-emigrant tradesman in the tows of Sydney ; and when applied to for redress by the = t y d iswieved relatives et the unforeseen' lemon, he coolly as it was out of the question for him to offer the meldestiss of • gentleman to • tradesman, they wen puce webeone to inatittre an action at law if they pleased.

IRISH FISHERIES. 13114—Thern lean article in your paper of the 23rd Dec. on the fisheries of Ireland, to which I take the liberty of writing • reply, sad if you think my statements worth your seals% pas ea o lay them before the public. Being •• Scotch illbileffer e sot living at the fishing oration sear Dungarvan, I hew • good knowledge of the spot, and also of the man ners nod customs of the people. The fishermen of 'Lis place _s not of the elan the Teases represents standing at the Mors of their huts waiting till heaven or govvrament send Ibsen boats or nets. They have boats and nets, and they sire always going to we when the weather is goof', end often Me the poor fellows lab...tiring • whole night without doing asy good. Their misfortune is not owing to their indolence, loather is it for want of AM on the mast. Fish of every kind are on this e met in great abundance, such as Derange, mickaml, sprats, hake, cod, ling, and alio haddocks of the best description I ever saw, in great abundance. The mute of their 'Miamians is entirely owing to the fi4hing tackle wed the Chine Irma. The Dungarvan fl herman glee to s'a is hooker. and each man only Mkee with him two hand-lines, with one honk on reek ; there are generally seven men in each host or honker, and that only makes fourteen hooks to the strew. In a Scotch !Wine boat each man tale , s six hundred books, and there are Neuman, eight men, which m:.k a for the whole crew 4,8110 hooks. The hook-, often gess becalmed in fine weather, and the Irk are often mach decayed before they come t. market, but the Elosteh boat een bring her fish to market in good order, kt uy kind of wea•her ; if she cannot sail she eau be pulled by ears; there could not be a dander fl.hind vessel in ✓ested than a barker at our fishing Ration ; the fishermen pmerally todow after the net fishing; they go toe a in very sill clumsy boots; I wonder often that the -ne-balf of them are not drawn/4 when a breeze of wind come,; their herring-sets are only four yards deep, and they ft .at them As the top of the water with corks; it is almo.t • miracle If dry soak any herrings when they are swimming on the tsp, as, are lying from one place to another, or pursued by sew enemy .

Ile says that "he has no knowledge of its purpose, manager, or of any person or persona connected with it."

I find it stated that tome peran . connecte d with my husband's paper, the New York Nation. his wade a foul and malignant at tack on Mr. Smith O'Brien. As this statement is rot well founded, and would, I am convinced, be deeply painful to Mr. Won, who loves and honours Smith O'Brien, I feel bound to est you richt in the matter, when he to whom the duty would &nue. lly tall is thousands of miles away. The statement referred to in Mr. Dillon's letter, which you pub li.hed. was not written by any person connected with the New York Nation, but appeared in a letter from Dublin, published in that paper; and Mr. M'Oee. so far from agreeing is it, appewled this note to Mr. Dillon's letter, which, it you had published along with the letter, I would sot hare thought it necessary to beers written to you: "Oa reading over the paragraph in ea' correspondent's letter we do name with Mr. Dillon, that it is unjust towards Smith O'Brien; but we must observe that few men—no man perhaps in or out of Ireland—had tertal opportunities of knowing the truth wilt Mr. Dillon.

I thit•lt it lineman to add, as my husband would not - on. tainly publish a malignant libel on Mr. 8. O'Brien, even from a correspondent, that the statement in question was not a malignant libel, but an observation, " that Mr. O'Brien did nit mike a good military leader."

It is surpriang how very popular debating clubs have always been in this metropolis. Thinking clubs are more wanted here than talking societies. Much of the stuff of " Young Irelandism" was of vowing club origin. There has been a meeting at Swords to devise re pro,lnctive employment for the poor. The resolutions contemplate a vo!untary rate of sixpence in the pound between landlord and tenant, foe the purpose of raising a present fund. At the Fernley Sessions, Thomas M'Donnell was sentenced to a twelvemonth's imprisonment for the abduction of Anna Maria Slack. The Crown Solicitor, Mr. Nagle, proved the case against the prisoner, without resorting to the evidence of the young girl herself, though he very properly tendered her as a witness to the counsel for the defence, if they thought proper to examine her. SCOTLAND. GRATZ-TARD NOISANCES lie Giuseow.—On Blanes day a very important inquiry was gnu' into before the Lord Provost rasp-sting the system of " pit interment " of cholera majeets, practised by the officials connected with the grave yards of Bridgeton, Caton, and Abercromby-striet, which resulted in an order mom the court for the removal and abasement 01 the nuisances complained of. The cases were brought before the court by )(r. Bernet, who craved that a remedy be provided, so that the practice of interring too near the surface might be abolished, and generally that the objec tiossabie mode of burying in pits should be discontinued. In all the ease the court were maxim= in ordering the im mediate abatement of the nuisances. CHOLERA 11JRNED TO Accourr.—The Dumfries Courier states that, two cases of cholera having proved fatal in the gaol of that town, a general order wee issued for the re. movel from prisons of inmates suffering from mice. Four prisoners were accordingly removed to the Infirmary about midnight on Tuesday last, after the clerk to the prison board had been summon ed to the gaol, end the necessary forms gone through, based on ms dical certificate'. The four pri MMUS were placed in a ward in the upper story of the In. finnary by themselves, and three of thesa,_at, least, enjoyed a refrestiiig slumber until the morning. They were visited daring the day by the medical officers of the institution, and several other professional gentlemen, who became impressed with the idea that for cholera patients the gaol birds were in remarkably good condition. About Di: o'clock on Wednes day evening the house-surgeon visited the ward, and was immediately afterwards called to attend a patient who had jut been received into the surgical department At seven o'clock, within an boar of his former visit, he returned, with a medical friend, to show him these curious cases of cholera, but to his astonishment discovered that the birds were flown, the nest suipts , and the ward vacant, with the exception of the kart)) p. mon, who is ill with some disease in the stomach. A hue-anu-eq was instantly raised, the authorities informed. officers placed on the scent, hand-bills, with descriptions of the patients, circulated, but uy to this date without effect, One of the parties is an Irishman, named WAsudand. a navvy, who was sentenced, about a month ego, to five months' imprisonment, for slabbing a comrade in • public. home in this town with a pair of schools.

The bail was received, and UN A NINIZROUS AND INFLUNNTIAL MEETING was held in Bristol on Wednesday, for the purpose of adopting resolutions in favour of Mr. Cobden's motion for the set tlement of all international disputes by arbitration. There could not have been less then 3,000 persons present, the public room. Broedmead, being crowded, in every parr.. The chair was taken by Rubor' Cbarltou, Esq., who, in cum , ns-icing the preseeedines. spoke at some length in Smear of the proposed motion. It struck him that on. isportaat advantage of the plan of arbitra tion was this : it get rid of the vicious principle of a party to a quarrel being an adjudicator upon hi* own ease. finch a pr nciple would not be for a element tolerated in a court of justice, where a person interested in the result of a trial would not he allowed to tit on the jury ; and where, if a party to a suit was offered as a witness, his testimony would either be received wills extreme suspicion or he would nst be examined at all. The reason of this was obvious : such was the blinding and perverting influence of self-interest, that without puha& the intention of doing wrong per cons iften adjudged very unfairly in their own favour. So it was with nations: when • contest beg 'Nth' whole ground of difference became at once stilted, the question of right and justice was lost sight of, and the slid was, which nation was the inset powerful, or could bring to the war the greatest number of fighting men. Where, on the contrary, a dispute was taken out of the hands of the parties immediately interests d, and was referred to a third and ucintemted power, the claims of justice on both sides were iirpartially weighed, and the nations had the bast security that the rights of the parties would be duly regarded. It had been remarked as a practical difficulty , that an armed force would be required tt. s atone the decision of the arbitrators: a little reflection would, hewer: r, show the fallacy of the objection. No *Testy could be bind ing which was not assented to by both parties; end for either of them to intrust it ssould be a breach of national faith such as, among civilised nations was of the most rare occur rence. The chairman went on to refer to the injury which • nation suffered in its character and moral influence as the consequence of any failure to observe a treaty, and refs reed to the fact of powerful nations like Russia keeping faith with small and powerless nations, as evidencing that, practically, nations observed faithfully engage ments come to between each other. He argued at some length against the horrors of war, and re ferred to the dehuing and demoralising COllB4 quencee result ing from a standing army as being even a more gigantic evil stun the sacrifice of life on the fit 11 of battle. Mr. Blibu Burritt moved the first resolution in a very lengthened ad dress, in which be reviewed the whole subject, dwelling par ticularly on its financial bearings. The meting was further addressed by the Rev. H. J Roper, Rev. G. H. Davis, and other g , ntlemen ; and a petition to parliament, in favour of Mr. Cub len'. intended propoeiti n, was adopted unantinously. LONLON WEDNESDAY CONCERTS.—Mr. Braham appeared again at Exeter-hall on Wednesday evening, and again had the same warm and even enthusiastic reception which he experienced last week. While we had the utmost gratification in adding our mite to the genteel tribute of applause so well merited, and so honourable to the good taste and good feeling of the public, we could not help en tertaining a hope that Mr. Braham, after having retired for • cohsiderahle time from professional life, does not intend to return to it. When he sang at last week's concert, it was understood that he came forward on that eccmion only. His ueond appearance on Wednesday evening was an nounced as his last appearance at these eon eerie." Does this qualified expression indicate the prospect of other appearances at other concerts ? Frankly and earnestly we say that we bop* not; and we know that, in this feeling, we are joined by great numbers of Mr. Braham 's warmest fri. rids and admirers. Of all sounds :he sweetest to the ear of the public performer is the voice of popular &opium. When, too, he has lien an old and eats. bliebed favourite, it tends to mislead his judgment, and to induce him to remain before the public longer than is consist ent with a prudentregard for his own permanent reputation ; and this injurious effect it is still more likely to produce when it is followed by thoughtless and indiscriminate eulogies from the prem. Mr. Wiliam menu but be aware that the plaudits he now receives are not, as they once were, the expressions of the admiration and delight excited at the meat by unrivalled hisplass of vocal power. They are es• pensive of kindness, esteem, and regard for the man; they are • Violate to the greatness of hisname—anacknowledgm..nt of the high services be has done to the music of his country during his long and splendid career. That they are also be towed—and justly butooed—upon the fine qualities be still exhibits, and upon efforts of vocal power which no man of seventy-five ever made before—is true. But the oompfex feelings which prompt them are mingled with the pain and sorrow which every one must experience from witnessing an over exertion of decaying faculties, and " duty in his mules perishing." We repeat, therefore, that we hope Mr. Brehm will not, as so many of his predecessor" have done, continue a series of " last appearances," but will rest satisfied with the laurels hr has woe, a4l with the possession of a name that will live for ever in the history of English music. Brahaea's princi pal songs on this occasion wore " Mad Tom," erroneously ascribe* to Purcell, and The Bay of Biscay." M. Schein boff. a pang slope of merit, made his first appearance in England, and sang a German song of Kitchen's, with a pleas jag voice, and in a cheer*, masimanelike style. There was nothing remarkable in the rest of the concert. The hall, as mod, was tall, to overflowine. gbr Drama. LYCXUM.—A very agreeable little piece, in one act, call d, " Who Speaks First ?" was pro laced at this nes re last evening. In plot it is as slight as poedble; lut its neat, ass of constructinn, liveliness of dialogue, and the sir of reality given to the scenes by toe el Ter way in which 'hi y w. re acted, reminded os greatly cf the " poise cone• dies" of the " Variefet." We have no other reason, how. ever, for supposi•l that it is not of English growth. Mr. and Mrs. Militant are • newly-married pair. She has been a spoil d and self-willed girl ; and he is somewhat ha ty .n 1 passioaate—do reale, very satiable persons, and attached to each other. But their faults of temper have mode such wild work, that we find them determined not to speak to each other. In this einuimstienee a stranger en :kin his an prarance,—• certain Contain Charles, who introduces hisis.ll to Mr. Mullane as an old friend of his wife, and in timates hie intention of spending some time with them. unit% the husband, with great coin - oeure, that he is quite aware Of their uncomfortable domestic relations, and that his obj. et is to set matters to rights between them.

The sigh nr than pays his respects to the lady, to whom also he is an utter stranger, but be introlueri himself as an old friend of her huebuid, and gains her confidence by the mixture of familiarity and respect, plain-dealing, and gallantry, with which ho treats her. This position of parties produces some ver- ensu.ing scenes. The trutnil frtend brings the rail neither. but his conciliatory measures are defeated by eke determination of each not to spaik first, and lb. Militant thee off is a greater huff than ever. Captain Charles snows such an intimate knowledge of the lady's family,. and talks with such tenderness of puents, that, in the warmth of her heart, she does not re tire a chaste salute," which he offers at the moment the hushand re enters the room. A traei.cem - c imbroglio .nsues. Mr Militant raves like a second Othello, and, producing pistols, insists on instant satisfaction; the lady is , merwhelmed with oonfueion, while the stranger treats the whole affair with perfect nonc halance. When he has gull ciently provoked the hus'eatid and mystified the wife, ha pies an end to the joke by discovering himself to be Mrs. Mi/inierit brother , just returned to England, after mu, y years of foinien service.

THOHAR KIAVILT, IN RE THR NORTH Or ENGLAND JOINT STOCK BANK. —" CONTRIROTORITA " UNDER TH. ACT 11 & 12 Vic . C 45, /OR WINDING UT THIS ACCOUNTS OP JOINT STOCK COMPLNIVI.—This was an ap peal from an order of Viie-Chanc Her Knight Bruce upon these farts: In the year 1838 the above Thomas Reavely pur chased 56 shares in the above-named joint stock beide for his son, Thomas Iteavely the younger, who was then and is still a minor. There shares were purchased by the father, as agent for the eon, with moneys advanced by a Mrs. Bandy the minor's grandmother, as a gift fur him, her grandson. He was duly registered as a proprietor of tee shares in the hank as if he were of full age. It was discovered by the hank public officer or manager that the party was a miser. This father had signed the receipt* and Welders for the sea ' and received the divi deltas on the thane. The father, upon the requisition et the bank, and to provide against the contingencies that might arise from the irregularity committed in trsinsterring shares to a minor, by an indenture dated in 1842, reciting the faetsnow mentioned, covenanted with the directors and ntanagsm of the bank that his eon, whilst he should be under age, should pay all calls on the shares, and all other shares teat might be afterwards purchased for him, and should ob serve and perform all covenants and agreements contained in the bank deeds of settlement ; and the father also me, nanted to indemnify the directors and members of the bank against all coats that they might be put to in consequence of the said irregularity. Ten other shares we• e purchased for the tan after the date of this deed. It was lately resolved by the bank directors to wind up their accounts, and to take &dem ur of the new act, 11 & 12 Vie., e. 45, for the purpose. Au order Wail accordingly made on their petition to refer it to a Master in Chancery to take the accounts and wind up the affairs of the osespany. A goestien MOPS before the master whether Thomas litaavely, the father, w ar e in respect of the 66 *home, a " contributor" liable to contribute for the payment of the debts of lice hank, in the sense in which that'term was used in the second section of the said act.—The Master hell that the father, though * trustee for his son, came under his covenants in his behalf within the meaning affixed by the legislature to the word "contributory," under the terms of the clause "or other wise howsoever liable," and the father was acdonlinrly pt't on the list of " cnntrihutories" as " • contributory without qualification." Upon a winos' before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce to strike out the name, his Honour held that the master was right, and refused the motion, with costs. Mr. J. Russell and Mr. Mailisty were now heard in sup port of the appeal motion, end they contended that the tether was not a member of the company, and therefore not a "contributory.' Admitting that he might by his acts and covenants have made himself liable to pay the debts due froth the son to the b nk, he mill could not be held liable to contribute. If the bank bud maths to divide among the members, instead of debts to pay, the father would not he entitled to a division of ptofits. They refund to the wording of the second aecti-in, and also to 76th, 78th, and 83rd melees, end the interpretation clause, to show that the appellant was lint liable to calls as a shareholder, and sub mitted. offer other arguments, that the Muster's arid Vice-Chancellor's decisions were wrong.—The Lord Chan cellor, without hearirg Mr Roam or Mr. Hegelian), whO appeared for the respondents, said he was of opinion that the Master and the Vice-Chancellor came to a correct deci sion under the circumstances, which his lordship steed. The father purchased the shares for the son with the grandmo ther's moneys, representing that the son was of age, con trary to the tact, end on that representation the veudors of the shares and the officers of the Bank acted, and the infant was registered as the proorietor. The father w: - .6 called ore afterwards to correct the transaction 110 far as he could, and that he did by the deed of 1842, undertaking that the son should do what he was bound to do it be were of age. It wee clear on the Royalism' et the act that liability to contri huts was not confined to members or share holders only, but intended in terms to executors, devi sees, heirs, &c., under none of wnich classes, however, did this psr y rank, but then came the additional expressiotur " or otherwise howso ver," wider which his lordship had no doubt this party was liable to contribute as included in these words beyond all doubt. The motion must, therefore, be d imniesed. Mr. Bacon asked that it be dithered with costs, to which the L rd Chancellor assented. IN THIS NATTER Or Dyes SOMERS, A LUN/ITIC.—Upon the application of c to-morrow (this day) was ap p einted for discussing the question of costs in this matter s which was reserved by his lordship upon dismissing, before the vacation, the petition to supersede the commission.

Tun ATTORNIT-UINENAL v. 1 NZ SAUL OP STAMFORD. —ALTZ/LATION IN TOM KULPJI OP THE Muiviiiintrem Oneistwau ficuoot.—The Vice• Chancellor gave judgment in this ease, which was argued before Christmas. The facto were fully reported in the &liras of Dec. 7th and 12the It appeared that the Manchester School war founded in the 16th year of Henry VIII , and certain rules were laid dowse in the foundation deed for the regulation of the wheel, and various ezhibitlous,were established. In process of time the accumulated surplus of the revenut a of the school amounted to a considerable sum, and an information was filed for the purpose of having a fresh scheme prepared, and new regula tions made, for the school. The case was argued before Lard Comenham, who gave judgment upon it in Nov., 1840, and • reference was directed to the master to settle a scheme—Me lordship at the time upraising his disapprobation of the system which had been adopted of allowing the masters of the school to take private pupils as boarders, and such hoarders being allowed to participate in the exhibitions. In 1843 the case came before Lord Lyndhunt, who was them chancellor, when the decision of Lad Console= was modi fied in this respect, that his lordship thought the masters ought to be allowed to take boarder, under certain restric tions, and the matter was again referred to the master. The case now came before the court for further directions, but the only important objection raised to the scheme was upon the subject of the masters being allowed to take boarders. It was contended that the dimity was originally intended fog persons of the poorer elan, and that the natant of taking boarders wis contrary to the intentions of the founder. The relators, amongst other alterations, proposed to dispense wale the services of a mathematical muter, and that hie duties should be performed by the assistant marten ; that the pro , pert? of the charity should be maraud in a cliff:trent manner,. by which a saving would be produced; that de trustees off the school should be select d from person; residing in the town of Manchester, and not from the opulent residents of the neighbourhood, and that no boarders should be allowed to be taken by the masters. The Vice-Chancabor, in giving judgment, said the great question was. whether, considering what had been done by Lord Cuttenham, and afterwards by Lord Lyndhurst, he could now make a dieree, which professing to follow Lord Cottenham's decision, would apparently go beyond it to I certain extent. Lcrd Cottenham had made a decree with • general declaration, and afterwards Lord Lyndhurst had re versed that part of it relating to boarders, sad directed a re ference to the Muter to inquire whether the taking og boarders in the mode at f resent adopted could bo attributed to may unction by the trustees by virtue of the powers given them under the statutes to reform the regulations of the school. It now appeared from documents produced before the court, that at that the marten had done respecting the taking of boarders, had bet u done ex mero mote, and he thought, therefore, that the whole hypothesis upon +hide Lard Lyndhurst had proems lad was totally invalidated, and that so far from the facts of the case supporting the ht pee their, they would have justified an extension of Lord Cot teuhain's decree. His Honour thought he was bound by the view he had taken of the law applicable to this question in the Tiverton school case, and he would therefore be justi fied in making a declaration in general terms, that ne burden shou ld be allowed to be taken by be any ;of the en '
