CHURL AWARD —.l visteractiort.—This matter, which was an appeal from a decision of the Vice- Chancellor, refusing an injunction, was partly heard last week. The circumstances were these : An action at law was brought by Cromer, as executor of one Bell, to recover a balance of account due from Chuck to Bell. The dealings between these parties—one of whom was a maltater, and the other a farmer and com-dealer—had run on for many years without settlement, so that items in tim accounts in favour of each party would be barred by the statute of limitation ; and that bar was urged in the pleadings at law by each of them. They agreed at nisi prius to seta all matters in dis pute to arbitration; and the agreement was made a rule of court. After the arbitrator had made his award, Chuck applied to a judge, at Chamber., to stay the entering up of the judgm ent, and the judge granted time till application could be made to the court in Banco. An application was accordingly made to the court to set the award aside, and was refused, and the judgment was entered up on the arbitrator's certificate. Chuck then filled leis bill in this court, stating various errors in the award, and praying an injunction to stay any further proceedings oa the judgment at law. The Vice-Chaneellor refused the injunction, and the plaintiff then renewed his motion in this court. Mr. Bethel, Mr. Bolt, and Mr. Einglake, were heard to • ^- were day in support of the motion. Their arguments almost entirely confined to the question, whether this court has jurisdiction to controul the judgment that wss entered up in the Court of Exchequ er, after full argument and con sideration of the objections to the award. Mr. J. Parker was heard shortly in reply on the same question. The Lord Chancellor desired to he furnished with copies of the bill and affidavits filed on both sides, with a view to his judgment on the question of jurisdiction. Before the Master of the Rolls. BRETNTON O. LONDON AND NORTH WF.STERN RAIL WAY COMP/ANT.—MOTION TO DISSOLVE INJUNCTION ata- AITRAINIT4O THE LOWERING OF A ROAD. —MF. Tamer (with whom were Messrs. Bazol i ette and Follett) moved to dissolve an injunction which the plaintiff l i gd obtained in September last, resttellieff the r.lerClathints fron lowering a public road in tno parish of Armitage, in Staffordshire, in a manner that was alleged to be &deviation from the deposited Ow for the construction of the Trent Valley Railway. The plaintiff was the owner of a field its which there was a Iriek-kiln and adjoining this field was the road in question, across which, from the plaintiff's field, the railway was to be tarried. By the act authorising the construction of the Trent Valley Railway, it was enacted that it should be law ful for the company to construct the railway across and on the level of the road. And in the plans and sections depo sited with the parish clerk, anii the clerk of the peace (or r the county, it was stated that it was proposed to raise th road, and pats it on a level. In July last the company agreed with the plaiatiff for the purchase of to much of his land adjoining the read as they required, and in the agreement it was stated that the railway wet to be constructed according to the deposited plans. In eon/Nuance, as it was stated, of a memorial da d sadred to them by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, a lower the at a large additional cost, the company determined to road and carry the railway over it. And accordingly in September last they commenced operations to carry this de termination into effect ; and the plaintiff obtained his injunc tion to restr tin them. In support of the present application it was contended that it was not obligatory on the company to carry the railway over the road on • level, and that the company had, as well under the act authorising the con struction of the railway as the Consolidation Clauses Art, full power tc lower the road. It was said, too, that the plaintiff had induced the company by his conduct to undertake the works, by giving reason to suppose that he would not oppose the lowering of the road. Injury to the plaintiff was also denied. For the plaintiff it was urged that the company had no such power under the acts as was contended for, and that the agreement with him was based on the supposition that the road would be crossed in the manner contem plated by the plans. The allegation of his having misled the company was denied, and evidence was given that the devia tion would be injurious to the plaintiff's enjoyment of his property.—The case stands for Mr. Turner's reply on Satur 4iar next. COLEMAN v. E ASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COIMPLNY.— LHE HARWICH STEAM-PACES(' COMPANY'S AGREEMENT. —Mr. Kiniersley appeared to move to dissolve the injunction which the plaintiff had obtained to restrain the directors of the Eastern Counties Company from signing an agreement, guaranteeing 5 per cent. to the Harwich Steam-packet Corn- But the court being occupied with other motions, the - was euntiaued till the nest ujny.- injunction Before the Vice-Chancellor of England. SPOTTISWOODE e. CLARKE.—INJONCTION TO RESTRAIN At: IMITATION OF THE "PICTORIAL ALMANACS."—Mr. Stuart and Mr. Moore moved to dissolve an injunction ob• tained last Wednesday to restrain the defendant from print ing and publishing an almanaek, being an imitation of one published by the plaintiff, entitled The Pictorial Almanack, or Ytar Rook for 1847, and Royal Greenwich Astronomical Calendar; for the Gardener, Sportsman, Naturalist, and Alan of Easiness. The cover of the almanack published for the defendant was entitled in the same manner, with the addition of " Old Moore's Family" at the head of the title-page. On the plaintiff's alrnanark *ere was a wood-cut representing the Greenwich Observatory, and on the defendant's there was a repre sentation of the top only of the Greenwich Observatory. It was now contended that this was not such an imitation of the plaintiff's work as to induce the court to continue the in junction, and that the plaintiff could have no protection for the common title of Pictorial Almanack.—Mr. Bethel and Mr. Hallett appeartd in support of the injunction. The Vice-Chancellor said in all these cases of fraudulent imitation some slight difference was always introduced, but the question was whether the defendant in this case had not so far copied the title of the plaintiff's work as to mislead, (not the trade, for they were sufficiently knowing about the matter) ; but the foolish public who went to purchase the alnsanack. Persons might have heard of the plaintiff's almanac's being' very useful for the gardener, sportsman, naturalist, and man of business, and would ask at a shop for such a werk—they would be told that the defendant's almanaek was just such a one as they inquired for, and would necessarily be misled, since all the first part of the defendant's title-page was precisely similar to that of the plaintiff's. The defendant might swear he had not copied from the plaintiff's work, but it was evident that he, or some one else, must have done so, or they never co dd have exactly selected the same terms. Such a fortuitous circum stance was most improbable. He considered that there was evidently such an Imitation as would induce the public to buy one for the other; and ho would therefore. be doing wrong if he did not continue the injunction. directing the plaintiff, at the same time, to bring such action as he might be advised, or try the question at law. Stow - O. 110 LE.—CONDUCT OF SUITORS IN WRITING LETTF.US TO TUE JUDOES.— Upon • motion in this case to dismiss the bill for want of prosecution, the Vice-Chan valor observed that he had received al 'feral letters from Ike defendant respecting the proceedings before the court ; whic'e he bad, ot course, thrown into tbe fire imw.edia . ely but he tole himself bourd to state, that it was most im proper c mine on tot part of suitors to a.idrees the judge of tht court on the subject of their causes F.ewre weAtanors.tx Wigran• OATTY r. PHILLIPSON.-PZITILIOED DOCUMENT.-Mr. Smith, for the plaintiffs, moved for the production of certain doeuments mentioned in the schedalee to the answers of the defendants, and admitted to be in the custody or power of *c defendants. Mr. Reach, contra, read a statement from sae of the answers to the effect that the defendants were brother and since whom the latter bid been resident on the Continent the institution ot the suit, end that II them letters mama v„ the brother ' end the @elicitor of the daendant ups.- unified. The learned counsel submitted that the MN hallll froMdfs.

His lefessare was of opinion that the letters watvileged to •that eztent, and that t he p arts we re con the emmonications from the solicitor might be cooseded • the remainder of the letters being produced to the inspection of the plaintiffs. The fact, how ever, that the in question were entitled to the pro tection claim , should have been sworn to by the parties themselves; and, as the affidavits were insufllnent in that respect, the motion was ordered to stand over, for the pur pose, if possible, of rentedeing the defect. Worraa e. Witeveo--Dosteritocnou 07 1110110101 33 AND 34 01 THE New WILLS ALT, 7 WILL. IV. MID I VIC., c. 28.—John Winter, by his will, dated in November 1833, after directing the residue of his real and pe meta to be converted, gave one-sixth of the proceeds to his auk John Palmer Winter, absolutely and by a codicil doted in FiMissre, 1839, after the New Aot had come has operation, the testator ratified and confirmed his will in certain particulars not effecting the bequest toll , rtnter. By the 34th section of the 'Wills Act 7 Will, IV. and 1 Vic., e. 28, it is provided that the act shell not extend to any will a bushe d. ore the Ist of January, 1838, but that every will repuie or revived by any codicil, "shall, for the purposes of the act, be deemed to have been made at the time at which the some shall have been so repub lished or revived ;" and the 33rd section of the same act provides, " that where any person, being a child or other Wine of the testator to whom any real or pe rsonal estate shall be devised or bequeathed for any estate or interest not deter minable at or before the death of such person, shall die in the lifetime of the testator leaving issue, and any such issue , shell be living at the time of the death of the testator ; such devise or bequest shall not lapse, but shall take effect as if the death of such person had happened immediately after We death of the testator; unless a contrary intention shall appear by the will." The testator died in 1843, having sur vived his son, John Palmer Winter, who died in November, 1838. As there was issue of John Palmer Winter the op livinger a at the decease of the testator, a question arose as to don of the statute upon the one-sixth of the precede of the real and personal estate b equea thed to J. P. Winter ; which, but for the statute, would have lapsed. The suit was an ami cable suit instituted by the eldest son of John slmer Winter, who was also the heir-at-law of the testator,P against the widow and other children of John Palmer Winter, and the various parties claiming as next of kin of the testa directly or by devolution under his will, for the pur pose, amongst other things, of obtaining the opinion of the court upon the effect of the statute. The trustees had re fused to distribute the fund, except under the sanction of the mart. Mr. Remaly and Mr. P. Jones for the plaintiff, and Ur. Wilcock for the younger children of J. P. Winter, con• Waded that the codicil, which was executed after the Ist of January, 1838, brought the will within the operation of the statute ; and that the effect was that the property in ques tion, upon the death of the testator, became part of the per- Impel estate of J. P. Winter, and as such distributable amongst his widow and children under the Statute of Distri butions. Mr. Walker and Mr. Torriano, for the widow of J. P. Winter, and sole devisee end legatee under the will of her husband, claimed the fund in question as having passed by the will of the testator. Mr. Wood and Sir Walter Riddell, for some of the next of kin of the original testator, insisted that the will should be construed as if of the date of the codicil ; and that as J P. Winter was then dead, and the testator could not be supposed to intend a gift to a deceased party, the gift was void. The fund, therefore, belonged to the next of kin of the original testator. Mr. Kenyon Parker and Mr. Sturton for other parties.—Judgment reserved. Before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruoe. REEVE O. GOODWIN.—CREDITORS' SUIT. —Mr. Hub back, for the plaintiff, moved that the defendant, who was trustee and executor of the real and personal property of the testator in the cause, might be ordered to pay into court a sum of about 3001., admitted by his answer to be in his pos session, belonging to the testator's estate.—Mr. Bacon and Mr. J. T. Humphry, for the defendant, did not object to the payment, provided the pleadings were put in a proper shape. This was a bill for administering the real and per sonal property of the testator, and the plaintiff was a credi tor against the real estate. The bill was not filed as it ought to have been " on behalf of himself and all other the creditors" of the testator.—His Honour observed that a mortgagee or other incumbrancer on the estate of a testator could not maintain a bill without that allegation, and di rected that the bill should be amended in that respect. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Nun Part/It—Before Lord Denman and a special jury. SIM'S AND WIEN V. RENDERSON.—ACTIoN ON A DE CREE or A COLONIAL COURT.—This action was brought to recover the sum of 8,8631., with interest thereon, claimed as due to the female plaintiff, the widow of the defendant's de ceased brother, under a decree of the Supreme Court of New foundlartd, The real question in the case was, whether the defendant had been properly served with a notice of the amended bill on which the decree that founded this action proceeded. On this point evidence was given, to the sufil ciency of which, at the conclusion of the plaintiff's case, several technical objections were taken and overruled. Mr. Godson, Q.C., and Mr. H. Hill appeared for the plain tiffs ; and Mr. Barstow for the defendant. The jury, under the direction of the learned judge, re turned a verdict for the plaintiffs for 8,8631., and 1,4731. interest. The common-jury causes were then taken. ALLEY V. GAIN.—ACTIoN AGAINST A PROVISIONAL Constirreemaft.—The plaintiff, who is a surveyor, brought this action to recover the compensation due to him for work and labour performed by him for the Lincolnshire and Easeern Counties Railway Company. It appeared that the affairs of the company bad been, in the first instance, ma naged by a solicitor named Beckett, to whom the defendant had written requesting that his name might be inserted in the list of the provisional committee, and also of the acting or manag i ng committee. The request was complied with to the extent of inserting the defendant's name in the list of the provisional committee ; and in some of the p ear ros pectuses that were published the defendant' s name appeared in that list. It never appeared in the list of the acting or managing committee, and was omitted at the defendant's request from the prospectuses that were published at a later period. After the defendant's name had been struck out of the list, notices of the meetings of the committee were no longer sent to him. And, even before that time he did not appear to have inter- not fered actively in the affairs of the company. He had directly employed the plaintiff, and the only evidence of an indirect employment was the fact, that he had been a member of the committee, under the orders of which the work had been doue, partly before his name had appeared in the published list, and partly after it had been omitted from that list. These facts having been proved by Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., with whom were Mr. Ball and Mr. Edwin James, Mr. Crowder, on the part of the defendant, sub. mitted, on the authority of the recent case of " Wyld v. Hopkins," that there was not any evidence to go to the ju Lord Denman said that he certainly would not nonsnit the plaintiff. He had read the judgment in the case re ferred to, and did not think that it dictated to him the course that had been suggested. The court might not understand the meaning of the term provisional committee man as a matter of law, but it must mean something. The jury, in their experience as men of the world, understood very well what was thereby meant, and be would not de prive the plaintiff of his right to their opinion on the ques tion whether the defendant came within that meaning. The case, therefore, must go the jury to determine from the evi dence whether the conduct of the defendant had been such as to make him liable. Mr. Crowder then addressed the jury, and contended, Ist, that the facts of the case were on all-fours with those of " Wyld v. Hopkins;" and, 2nd, that as the defendant's request had not been fully complied with by putting his name on each of the lists, the conditions on which only he bad given authority to use his name had not been fulfilled. He also called witnesses to show that the defendant's name bad been struck out of the list of the committee very shortly after it had first appeared therein. Mr. Chambers having replied, Lord Denman sail that if two men put their names over the doors of a house of business an partners, they held themselves out to the world in that character, and took upon themselves its liabilities. If, then, the jury found that several men put their ',ernes to a prospectus of a railway company, as members of its provisional committee, they would determine whether those men did not hold themselves out to the world in that I character, and as having taken upon themselves all the responsibilities belonging to it. He was inclined to think that they did. If so, the jury would say whether or not the effect was that they so conducted themselves as to justify a person in the situation of this plaintiff in treating them as persons on whose credit he might do work for the company. It would then remain for them to determine whether credit had in fact been given to the defendant. If they found that it had, they must bear in mind that the defendant could not be answerable for any portion of the work done before his name was published in the prospectus of the company.—The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury. ROLDSWORTH V. GIBBON AND OTHEVA.—LIBEL. — This was an action for libel brought by the plaintiff, who is a physician at Plymouth, against the proprietors of the Ply mouth and Deoonport Weekly Journal. The defendants haring pleaded a justification, the cue was adjourned bd. we any evidence was gone into in support of the charge made against the character of the plaintiff. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. trierrarrs.—Before Sir 1.20110 ck, C. 8., and Special Juries. WILSON O. HOwa AND OTHERS.—PROMOTERS OP RAIL WAY PROJECTS NOT ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY OP THE PRELMIN•RY RTEENSES FROM HEMBERS OF THE PROVI SIONAL CONNITTER.—The Attorney-General and another I. toned gentleman represented the plaintiff- ; Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Keane were counsel for the defendants.. Tlt action wan brought by the secretary of the Canterbury ani ' Herne Bay Railway Company, to recover 12.51.. for half a year's salary. The defendants were members of the provi• dine' committee. The only {.tin'. wcrth mentioling arse LpH.toe cross examinatien of ono of tae plaintiff's w.tueeoes. trim vau.se evidence it appeared that the plaintiff and Mr. David Keano, solicitor, wens the registered promoters et the lin s, which was abandoned in Las month of Octaher, 1645. The Lord Chief Baron held that a promoter et a railway project eonld not sue any of the members of the provisional committee for his own services, or for any of the preliminary expenses of the company. The Attorney-General stated that he had been counsel in many c...ses in which promoters had recovered verdicts against provisional committeemen to the extent of several thousands. —The plaintiff was nonsuited, but !este was reserved to TI;;;;;LOOMNITTIRNIIN NOT DilliCria HOSAIIAIt MAIO oat AA asaroxson.s.—Mr. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Bagley were courted foe the plaintiff. TM At tar this isibeidanm.orn t ey General and Mr. Noggins represented I was an action against members of the mangle* committee of the Direct London and Manchester RaileneyGempany, for services rendered by Mr. Cadwa ll ader Frederick Iraddy a parliamentary agent residing in Fludyer-street,Weronshaer in procuring the Denies of persons to act as t the mosth of he comm ittee of that line. It app , eared that in June, 1845, this project had two .ormidable rivals, known as " Eastrick's Direct Line" and " Remington's Liss." it: therefore, became a matter of importance tnat the names of the provisional committee should present as imposing an array as possible, and consequently. efforts were made to pro cure them from amongst the propr ietors °nand, and the im portant mercantile firms at Leeds,Manchester and other towns, especially those in the vicinity of which the propmed line was to have been run. Amongst the name procured by the plaintiff, and accepted as members of the provisional oom mittee, were Lord .ommore, the Hon. Robert Gore, M.P., 1 the Right Hon. Col. Dawson Darner, M.P., and Mr. Bea ljamin Oliviere. It appeared that Mr. Lee, a solicitor, who was local agent of the company. at Leeds, aeltvit to procure names for hint, anu they having had some pre vious transactions, he consented to do so. However, It also apeared that Mr. Lee was not authorised by any of the 1 d efendants to r etain the services of the plaintiff, who told Mr. Lee that his object in undertaking to discharge those services was not so much for remuneration as to become coi:nected with such an important line, and h oetio that he would, through Mr. Lee's influence, appointed its junior parliamentary agent. The Lord Chief Baron here interposed, and said, if the plaintiff was not able to prove a direct retainer by any ono of the defendants, or upon his authority, it would be only a waste of the public time to permit the cam to pro aced. Even if the provisional committee were partners, the evidence was not sufficient to render them liable, but in a case of this sort the plaintiff could not recover unless it could be clearly proved that the defendants had directly authorised his retainer. For such services as the plaintiff had rendered, the authority should be distinctly and ex plicitly shown before the defendants could be held liable. There was no such evidence in the present ease. The plaintiff's counsel admitted they could not carry the evidence of authority further, and elected to be nonsuited. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. The Chief Commissioner and Mr. Commissioner Phillips, , having completed their circuits, presided in court this morning. IN Its WILLIAM BUSCMILL.—This insolvent wits op posed by Mr. Cooke , . and supported by Mr. Nicholls.—lt appeared that the insolvent had been executor to his deceased aunt, and the complaint against him was, that he had paid away 701. to parties not named in the will, and had neglected to pay rent due by the testatrix. In answer to this, it was proved that, although the parties who had received various small sums were not specially mentioned in the will, yet the insolvent bad only complied with the express wishes of his aunt when on her death bed. With respect to the non-payment of rent, that was disproved by the production of the receipt. The Court said the insolvent had not only cleared himself from the charge of acting dishonestly, but appeared to have behaved in quite a eoitrary manner, as he might, instead of paying the small sums according to lus aunts verbal wishes, have adhered to the written document, and retained the surplus in his character of executor.—The inaolverit was dis- ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION -HOUSE.—Tae BOSANQUST AND WIORAM Gaeta or SWINDLERS.man waited stead the Lord Mayor for the purpose of asking his lordahip . vice as to the most judicious mode of bringing to justice certain swindlers who are in the habit of sending circulars round to t ra desmen, offering . money for bills. lie had been in duced by one of these circulars to apply to Messrs. Bosanquet and Co., as some of the fraternity call themselves, for cash for a bill of 1001. He deposited the bill with them, and was told to call next day. He did call, and receivedsl., with an assurance that he should have all tho rest • day or two after ; but every su bs equent application was unsuccessful. He never received a shilling more, and the bill, which he had no doubt was in circulation, would soon be due.—The Lord Mayor said that doubtless the bill would, if it should not be paid, be placed in the heads of some solicitor employed by the swindlers, and the applicant be sued upon it. He had within a few days received a vast number of letters from tradesmen is England, Ireland, and Scotland, ommoda inclosing copies of printed circular s, offerin g pecuniary acc tion. The oilers were made by these fellows with the view of getting respectable bills into their possession, and they found it very . easy to turn such securities to advantageous account, leaving, of course, the injudicious parties who con fided in them,to pay them, or tobear the responsibility.—Mr. Goodman, the clerk, produced a bundle of letters, contaandnCo. ing circulars, some of whic h were si g ned " Bosanquet factors and commission-brokers, John-street, London-fields, London ;" some, "Charles and Henry Shaw, Albany-road, London ;" several," W. an.: C. Ilanbury and Co., factors and conamisaion-brokers, Boston-street, Shoreditch ; " others, " B. Franklin and Co., factors and commission-brokere • " "W. and J. Anderson, Old Kent-road , Lon don, " &c.—The Lord Mayor said,be bad ascertained that the gang had most ex traordinary ramifications through London, and that in man fory i n stances they succe e ded. The plan had been carried on a number of years, and with extraordinary pertinacity. In consequence of the notice already taken by the press that, of many what he had stated with respect to the swindlers, he knew an inexperienced person had escaped the snare, and he hoped the exposure would be continued. The circulars issued by all the firms were precisely similar. He thought it desirable to quote a few lines, addressee' to tradespeople in the country: —" Country correspondents who may require hills of ex change to make payments with occasion me in the course of business, or to make remittances and payments to friends at a distance, can be accommodated with most respectable ac ceptances at any date, and in any amo unt most suitable for their purpose ; of course, these bills will generally be upon houses in the city as usual, where their address or occupation will be found in a London directory ; or those who may wish to have a house or two in London entirely to themselves, to accept for them, or draw bills upon at their convenience, may have the same arranged in • quiet and most respectable man ner, either by letters of credit or otherwise. As the most important consideration in transacting this business is strict punctuality on both sides— in remitting respect able bills when written for, on the one hand ; and providing eseli for payrdent of them when due, on the other, an honourable-attention to this on both sides cannot fail to remove soy prejudice which might otherwise exist against bills conducted upon dies principle. We speak from daily experience ; so the character and respectability of the parties accepting the bills, will at all t if imes bear thlar e strictest inquiry. It is particularly requeeted, this c is of no immediate service, it may not be shown unless to a confidential and respectable friend, whose object it is likely to serve ; or you might wish to avail yourself of this assie tanee upon some future occasion, as it is not multiplicity of business we want, but respectability, and in the safe, quiet mercantile manner which our triends have now fur so many years approved of; and, by pursuing the same course in future, to merit a continuance of that respectable suppo.t which we have already experienced, and which it will be our study to deserve." CLERKENWELL—THE ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE AGAIN.—TwO young rata, named Jones and Micham, tbe former being without coat or waistcoat, were charged with riotous and disorderly conduct in St. Pancras workhouse, in which they are paupers.—Mr. Lee stated that he sent for one of the paupers to the oakum-room ; but the door was no Monet opened than the two prisoners, accompanied by others, rushed out, clamouring for clothes or their di-charge. Thy refused to retire when remonstrated with, and " showed sign. of resistance." He therefore called Fleming, the porter and gave them into his custody.— Deanne corroborated this statement—no assault had been committed. The prisoners declared that they had been guilty of no misconduct, unless., it were in demanding their discharge. Jones said he had almost perished in the room, and had been asking for his discharge or for some covering day after day, but to no pee. pose.—Mr. Mould (the c'erk) asked them if they had any witnesses to prove that they were not dt ur d i—Tne ri soners said there were three paupers who were witnesees p of what occurred, but they were not allowed to come. —Mr. Mould suggested to the master to take vie young men back to the workhouse. —Mr. Lee said he would not: they must be male an example of for their rioushaviou. 'Tne the wit nesses they asked for wer e thr e e of the n mutineers' re . —Mr. Combo said, as he had not charged them they must attend . They were accordingly sec.t fog ; and when they arrived, one of them, named Cox, dep eed that the prisoners had always been very quiet: and, upon the occasion in question, they only asked for clothes or their discharge. "The fart is, }o.:r orship," said Cox, " I haee nut a rag on u.y back teheu I am there. The clothes you see on me the officer who brought me here had to bortow for use. We are half starved in that place, and nearly peri-hed ; fer there is scarcely a spark of fire in it." The prisoner Jones said te at be had picked, on that vere morning 311 he of oakum.—Puudon, the superinteutlent of the work, admitted that this was true.—The master said they had the oakum to pick merely far amusement, and to keep them out of miseetef. The witn saes laughed at this statement.—Bushell, another peeper, depoeed that Jones had repeatedly asked for his discharge during the morning, pageuld not obtain it. They were kept cooped up in this and as soon as the door was open Jones and the others ran out. Jones asked for some trousers to keep him warm, hut got no answer.—The mater said he could not provide clothes for all, and there had been a great influx of paupers lately who wanted clothes. The prisoner Micham had been put to sea by the parish, but ran d.—Mic away from the vessel in which he bad been appeestieeham, who was about fifteen, said the captain treated him with so much cruelty twee= him and the master as no enAracssr,nese , ,— on either side ; Artie which the prisoners were discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. —A CAMS NEEDING INTESTIOA TION.—A sunburnt thuslooking fellow mixed William Colima, dressed in the tattered uniform of the 22nd regiment, was charged before Mr. Bingham with men dicancy. Police collstAMe ball, N 365, stated that he saw the prisoner scanning in a suppltcming attitude in Shoreditch, with Lis wife and child, all of the wait GA - 'Annalist allwAMA3e. 'The mixes/ hid one of the sleeves td his coat ripped up se as to expose 'his naked arm. whin bore the marks of several wounds.' Witness feltit his' they to take him into custody. The prisoner, who wore a medal at his breast, and, besides his disabled arm, exhibited a Were sabre cut down one of his cheeks, said that he had .raved ander Sir C. Napier, through the whole of the Scindian •opaign, and was present at the battles of Meeanee and ayderabad, in which he received several gun - shot woun ds. Re was 'disabled, and was consequently discharged; the only recompense that h e bad been able to Obtain was a gratuity, amounting to a year and • halts pay, which bad been long since expended et tenon his wife and child. lie was completely atippleu and had no meals of earning a subsistence, 'h. Was sow/idled to solicit public charity to save himself and *ally hem starvation. The prisoner handed to the =agl eam!' the siwtificate of Ids discharge, formally signed by the officer of his regiment, and other documents. pointed out the illegality of the means he hot to ameliorate his distress, and ordered him to be essitaiaded, to make inquiries in the proper quarter as to the MAK his statement. WESTMINSTER.—Mr. Broderip, many years one of the sates at the Thames Police-office, took his seat for the *la dupe at this court, as the suecessor of the late Mr. Bond. o*.tleing so, he announced the receipt of 101. from a twee *skint lady of distinction; for the poor-box. ' THAMES.—Mr. Yardley, re moved new magistrate appointed is the place of Mr. Broderns, :to Westminster, took his seat upon the bench yesterday. A LUNATIC AND HIS HERPRIL—James Rooks, an under-keeper at the Grove-hall Lunatic Asylum, Essex, was charged with assaulting Mr. B. Palmer, medical super intendent of the establishment. The prisoner, it appeared, had leave to go out on Sunday evening, when, without per mission, he took with him one of the lunatic inmates, who was subject to paroxysms of dangerous madness. They did not return till past 10 o'clock, and they were then both in a state , '(intoxication. As might have been expected, the lunatic dew at Mr. Palmer, and a struggle • ensuing, the prisoner seized the complainant—The assault was proved by another of the keepers.—The prisoner, :in his defence, said he only interfered to prevent Mr. Palmer from being hurt by the lunatic.—Mr. Yardley, having ascertained from complainant that the prisoner had been forthwith dismissed, observed that as the assault appeared from the evidence to have been a very alight one, if indeed any at all had been committed, the most appropriate punishment had been already inflicted. —The prisoner was then discharged. SERIOUS WOUNDING.—William' Brand, the landlord of the Brown Bear publin-house,iti Leman-street, Whitechapel, was brought up, charged with feloniously wounding an Italian seaman, named - Michael Petrowitch, belonging to the Greek vessel Munch:, now lying in a dry dock atLimehouec. Mr. Pelham defended the prisoner. The investigation of this case occupied two hours; eight witnesses were aisusised, The prisoner's house is much frequented by Gamma algal.. bakers and other foreigners. Tne prosecutor, aosempasued by a countryman, went to the house on Saturday night, and after remaining some time in the ball-room on the first floor, where he drane some beer, he came down stairs, and was about to leave the house, when the landlord demanded pay ment for a glass which he said he had broken. Petrowitch refused to pay for it, and denied that he had broken it. His friend was knoked down, and ill used by the Germans in the house, who afterwards pinioned the complainant, while some of them beat him in a most savage manner. The prisoner then called for his staK, and a policeman's trun eheon was brought to him from the bar, with which he committed a most atrocious and murderous assault on the ' Italian, by striking him with it over the head and Lace until the blood flowed copiousl from his wounds. Several wit nesses said that Brand inf licted eight or ten blows with the truncheon, and also pummelled the Italian with his lids. He was removed in a cab to the hospital. Bit head was cut open, his face was very much swollen and bruised, and one of his eyes was nearly closed. He exhibited other marks of severe punishment. Mr. Wordsworth, surgeon, said, there was a severe contused wound on the Italian's head, calculated to do serious bodily injury. Mr. Pelham, in defence, said the Italian drew a long and sharp knife, and made a blow at Mr. Brand, who used the truncheon in self-defence. The prisoner's waiter, barmaid, and another female ser vant, severally deposed that the Italian drew his knife, and made several attempts to stab Mr. Brand before he used the truncheon, and that the prosecutor was pinioned for the purpose of preventing him doing mischief. A gunmaker, named Isaac Barrow, also stated that the prosecutor drew 1, his knife, and, from his determined manner and gestures, : he verily believed serious mischief would have been done, if the Germans had not pinioned him. He considered that 3 Mr. Brand used the truncheon in his own . defence. Mr. I Yardley 'said, this was a very serious case , and one be has no right to decide summarily. He should send the prisorer to the Central Criminal Court for the felony ; but, under all the circumstances, ho would accept of bail tor his appearance there, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 601. each. The sureties were provided. WANHSWORTH.--Cofistnenn •INSIMGADINATION IN THE WANDsWoirra UNIoN.--.Nesterdny ten casual vegranta were 'nought to this court, charged with breaking maas and tearing up their clothing in the Wandsworth union. Eight of the prisoners had been committed four or flee times for similar otlences ; the other two had only been committed once.. Neither of them offered any defence, and they were' committed for 14 days with hard labour to Kingston gaol. It was amusing to see the consternation depicted on their I countenances when.they found that they were not going to 1] their favoui, • te retreat, the Brixton House of Correction, where there is high fire and little week. Eighty prisoners II have during the past month been committed to the House 1 1 , of Correction for °lleums committed in the Wandsworth t union. OKEENWICH.—SHAIIP PRACTICH OP A BENEFIT Snetrrv.—The stewards of the United Friends Friendly So- , eiety appeared at the instance of a man named Somerville,. to snow cense, why they had refused to pay him 10s., the amount of a week's sick allowance, and also to andwer , a charge of striking him off the books of the club.—Mr. May o 4 solicitor, attended to support the complaint, and Mr. Drage a appeared on behalf of the society.—From the complainant's evidence, it appeared that he had been • member of the , society for come years. The allowance for sick members was X 10s. a wel fer three months. In August last he declared 4 on the fund, and, having been ill five weeks, in the month of September one of the atewardscalled on him, and found him in the set of driving a nail in • hen - coop , to prevent the cats 2; Crum getting at ht: chickens. He was at the time unable to i follow his occupation as a shipwright, and he produced a me- 21 dical certificate to that effoe,t.—For the defence, T. Williams 1 1 , one of the defendants, depsed to finding the prisoner with hi s : sleeves tucked up, as though he had been at work some time ; he considered that sufficient, according to the 9th • rule of the society, to exclude him. The article provided that no sick member "should use or exercise his trade or calling, or engage in any other employment."—Mr. Trail was of opinion that the society had not shown sufficient ground fur excluding the complainant. The simple fact of his using a precaution to prevent the destruction of his property could not be diAorted into his following his trade' or calling ; nor could they say it was labour for profit. lie therefore ordered the payment of the 10s and the restoration of the comrlainant to the books of the society. • the MONEY MARKET. MONDAY Evattuto. The more favourable reports of stock and share busii ness from Peristhis Morning communicated a certi.in impulse to the fonds, upon which Commis were done at 951 for account, hut this slight advance of 1 was not long maintain e d.

Within the last few days a disposition has become more evident in banking and discount circles to deal rather more. sparingly in the mutter of lotus and the discount of bills. No absolute alteration, however, can be noted in the scale of charges fur accomtuodation. The Bank minimum rate is still adhered to tor the class of first paper to which alone it has be,arapplietble, awl the same may lie said el-o in respect of best second class paper, which could never be done with out certain ternts of advance upon that rate, varying accord. ing to the position of applicants. With their own bankers the term , would naturally he more easy in such case, but 'in the general discount market, with no suehmuttrality of con nexion, the terms would be more arbitrary, and according 'to circumstance s, such as now exist, but not difficult. It is i;pon the ordinary sec .nd class bills, and still more ulion the inferior substantial as in com mon acceptation they may be, that the pressure is now beginning to operate more heavily. Independ ently of other existi,ig consideration., there should be nothing to call partieular att, ntion to the fact It is of common ocearrersee enough towards the close of every year. gankirs and discount houses, like all other members of the ending community, are naturally anxious to bring their ac es ants end broke a- el stay as p usable to cash balances, that to reduce their outlying credits Gs the nearest approach possible to cash certainties, so as best to square with that. debits or liabilities, which are of the secure eharneter generally ozsumed to he equal to cash. It is in this view of the general balance of accounts forthcoming, and of the par tial restriction of customary credit facilities in consequence, th.it any present interference of the bank in the sense of raising the rates of interest has been deprecated, and ought to be. It would lead to a derangement of all business cal culations, and of the economical arrangements now, and for some time past, in progress, fur wording up the year's accounts. 6 11_ por Cynic • °69.'_l, 9 per Ct.

The transactions yestet day in shares and scrips pre-1 anted no particular feature. The market, on the whole, may be characterised as somewhat heavy, although no marked effect was produced upon prices. The quotations were made rather better for the French lines in consequence of the advice, from Paris reporting favourably of the greater animation of dealings, with an improvement of prices, on the Bourse there. Little real business took place, however, upon these reports. The Liverpool market was rather quiet, and the bnsineas done was at somewhat lower rates than last week. Man chester and Leeds stock was again dull ; Midlands kept steady ; Huddersfields and Deweburys were quite neglected Glasgow and Dumfries advanced to 1 pin. on the strength of a report of an amalgamation with the Glasgow and Ayr on better terms than at first proposed, but nothing certain is yet known. Newry and Warrenpoints commenced at 21, and rose to 31pm. Shrewsbury and Birmingham closed dull at 11 m. Dutch Rhenish too were low-11 die. The Manchester market was rather quiet, and prices gene rally were a shade lower than on Saturday. Birmingham and Oxfords were IM exception, being done at 7-16; North Staffordshires were done at 31; West Ridings, 11 and 11. Business at Birminghaa. was again tolerably brisk. The rumour that the anticipated arrangements between the Shrewsbury and Birmingham and Great Western companies had been broken off, caused prices in the former to decline from 2 to 11 p.: in better informed quarters, however, (says our correspondent), it was believed that the negotiations were still going on, and that, however unnatural the alli• ance may seem at first sight, there are matters connected with the first-named concern which are sufficient to make it probable that these two companies will ultimately come to terms. Birmingham and Oxford Junctions were done at L 7p. ; Stour Valleys at 21 p.; North Staffordshires et 31 p. ; South Staffordshire registered (late TrentValley),lBs.9d. p.; I and Shropshire Unions at tie. 3d. die. At Leeds the share market was very languid. East Lan cashire declined from 41 to 41; Ambergate from 6s. pm. to par, In tae few other transactions prices were firm. At Bristol tho attention of the broken was much occupied in the settlement of the Great Western New 171. shares, in which a large amount of business had been done. The transactions in other stocks were consequently limited. Bristol and Exeter, 4 4i pm. • Bristol and Exeter Thirds, 2' 3 pm. • Great Western Fifth shares, 101 11 pm. • ditto 171. shares, 51 1 pm. • Midland 601. shares, 41 41 . pm. ; North Staffordshire, 31 '3l pm. At Hull on Saturday business was limited, and a few stocks declined slightly. The Glasgow share market continued to improve last webk. There were more buyers for investment, particularly in the made lines, an money was getting easier. RAILWAY SHARE LISTS..—LONDON, DEC. 7.

PROVINCIAL—WINDenit.—PROJECTEDRIVAL UNE& -Yesterday a public meeting of the Inhabitants of Windsor, Eton, C.ewer, and their neighbourhoods, took place at the Town-hall, con vened by .1. T. Bedborough, Esq., the Mayor, in pursuance of a in quisition signed by upwards of ninety of the inhabitants (including tifteen of the Masters of Eton College), for the purpcee of taking into consideration the two projected lines of railways to be connected with the town. sir.., the Windsor, Stsineo, Richmond, and South Western, and the railway to connect Windsor with the Great Western Railway at Slough. Long before the hour appointed for the meeting (such was the excitement created on the subject throughout the town and its vicinity) the hall was densely crowded. The Mayor, upon taking the chair, raid the question the meeting would have to dis cuss was, whether Windsor required two railways or only one; and, if only one, then which of the two contemplated lines was considered he mod preferable, as fax as regarded the interests and ty of the town.-Mr. Samuel Minton moved, "That this meeting do entirely approve of the projected Windsor Staines, and South Western Railway, the formation of which w ill be highly advanhigeous to the inhnuitanto of Windsor, Con, Ciewer, and the surn,uuding neighbourhood, by giving in. craned means of intercourse and traffic with various im portant towns, and in particular by furnishing improved communication with the ns tropolie and the South and South. astern parts of the kingdom, whilst the Windsor terminus, and approach to the 'own, will greatly facilitate and add to the intended improvements connected with the castle and town of Wind. sot, and also avoid all interferenee with, or annoyance to, the College of Eton."
