MR. CL.IDSTO.VE AND TRADES' U.V/O.NS. We find the following report in the Biriningham of : The late decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, de- I•ncing the funds of trades' unions of all legal protection, mg produced the greatest surprise and apprehension .1 consequences in the minds of associated workmen, a dquitation upon the subject wax received on Thursday, iy Mr. Gladstone, at 11, Carlton House-terrace. The deputation h*l been appointed at a conference of amalgamated engineers, tic., iron-moulders amalgamated r‘rpenteni, vellum-hinders, and others • and included Mr. A Allan. secretary of the Amolgamated S ociety of Engineers, ; Mr. Dancer, president of the London Trades' Coun cil ; Mr. Odger, secretary of the same body ; and Mr. Applegarth, secretary of the Amalgamated Carpenters' Society. Mr. Gladstone having received these representatives with the greatest courtesy, Mr. AI,I.AN sail—lt will he in your recollection, sir, that io Isg4 Mr. Danter and I waited upon you, with regard to our societT depositing their funds in the roet-otlice savings hanks. lou then granted our request, giving us permit , - shm to bank in them to any extent. We have since then deposited a very considerable stun of money in those banks. But the late decision of the Court of Queen's Leech has placed us in an awkward position, for default- Mg trustees may now rob us with impunity. Mr. GLAINTONE indeed, a very awkward position. Mr. ALI.AN—We placed our money to the great extent we have done in consequence of the arrangements made with you, as Chancellor of the Exchequer. We thought we were acting in accordance with law, and certain of legal protection ; and more especially so as, in answer to your questions, we stated all the purposes to which those funds were collected and might be applied—that amongst others we paid men when out of work, having refused to accept a lower rate of wages. Mr. GualwroNe having given a general assent to the remarks, asked if the rules were registered. Mr. ALLAN—We have deposited a copy of them. Mr. Guns - rose—Yes, deposited a copy of them. I re garded it as a sort of friendly society. Of worse it was not for me to determine what was legal or illegal. My in psasion wax that you had complied with the regula tions of the law. lam as much surprised at this decision ..s anybody can be. I cannot understand it. Do you know on what precise point the judgment turns ? Mr. I/Arran—Simply that we support men when out on strike. Mr. Am. us handed to Mr. Gladstone the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice, when Attorney-General, as to the rules on which the judgment turned. Mr. A PPLEG A RTH directed the right hon. gentleman's at tention to the rules now declared by the late judgment of the Court of Queen'. Bench as operating in restraint of trade. Mr. Gi..trimrortn—You have not the exact terms of the judanent ? I have never seen the exact judgment. Ati.c.—" Operate in restraint of trade" were the exact terms of the judgment. Mr. GLAI osTome said restraint of trade was a very large phruie. He referred to a rule which at one time existed amongst wholesale publishers of hooks as to the terms of discount upon which alone they would consent to supply the retailer. It had been given up, but at the time it might bare been regarded as in restraint of trade. If one of those retailers had refused to pay for a panel of books, was the wholesale publisher to be itch:toiled because the books had been delivered under a rule in re.traint of trade! A man might devote his land to purposes perfectly legal, but which might be in nstrnint of trade. He confessed he did not know where that was to stop. The question before him in HMI was whether& legal society might be permitted to bank to any extent in the Post-office savings banks. He then understood they had complied with the regulation which made it a legal society, namely, by depositing the rules, :ad that they could not deposit rules which contained anything illegal. Mr. ALLAN— Mr. Tidd Pratt says he has nothing to do with seeing whether the rules are legal or not. Mr. GLAbeSt•NE—SO that an illegal society might deposit its rules. Mr. DAN - rxx-The act gives him power, and he examines the rules to see whether they are legal or not. Mr. Ciat.sroNE- So I thought. Mr. AI.LAN—The society I represent has deposited upwards of 40,000 f. iu those banks. Mr. (4.Ansroer: -The question before me at the time was, whether you m ight not be allowed to bank as a friendly society. Well, why are you not a friendly society? Mr. ALLAN—We have tried it, and ascertained that we must be registered in Scotland and Ireland, as well as iv England, and then we would be three different societies. Mr. t.:i.tirsrnmr-What is there in point of law which mikes you otherwise than a friendly society? Mr. ALLAN-We are a corresponding society, going through various countries. Mr. f:iallreroNE- I want to know whether there is any legal impediment to your b e co m i ng a friendly society. W ould that rule about supporting men when on strike prevent you? Mr. ina:Ert explained that the judgment was to that effect. Mr. APPLE , : ART -Take our societies as a whole, they are for the purpose of assisting our members to take their labour to the best market. Now, that embraces the sup porting them when on strike or when locked out. Bat alon.: with that we have many benevolent objects. We lieveil as you did, sir, that Mr. Tirld Pratt would not registered our society if it had nut been a legal one. Mr. ALLAN oil they believed they could not be wrong in .., tin ; ; upon the legal opinion of the Attorney-General of England. Mr. ;LA I 'STONE asked the porportion that the amount I id t o men on strike bore to the expenditure of the 5..... ties for benevolent purposes, during the past 10 years. Mr. ALLAN said not one-tenth, be believed, was paid to ...ai strike. Mr. I , ‘STER thought not one-twentieth part. Mi..tvisir then explained that the 'levitation did not auk Mr. rardstone to ordertake to remedy the grievance c.....1.!..ined of, but that he would be kind enough to Tomb,. his most valuable assistancu generally, so far as to Mr. Neat..., in earning the bill he had intro through parliament, that temporary protection :gilt be obtained for their funds pending the permanent a'ttivment .1 the matter. Mr. lltatliNTONF said the principles of combination were eery great importance. Whatever was permitted by ".right to entail no legal grievance. lie was completely per led by the matter as it then stood before him, and r-plested to be furnish, 1 with a copy of the judgment of 'oiirt of Queen's Bench, which the deputation ro -1,....1 to send. It was, be mid, a very interesting matter, vie I b e would giv e it his hest attention. T.., deputation then thanked Mr. Gladstone for his and withdrew.

CALAMITOUS FIRE AND SERIOUS LOSS OP LIFE.-( THIS DAY., A very calamitous fire occurred at the West-end this (Monday) morning at an early hour, in a large house numbered BA, Bryanstone-street, Edgware-road. The building was let out in tenements, and at the time of the outbreak contained five families. Within a minute after the fire was discovered by a policeman, Conductor Gill arrived from the Connaught-place station with the Royal Society's fire-escape. On turning into the street he saw the greater part of the house then on fire, and he noticed a female with a child in her arms at the second floor window. As he was wheeling his machine to the front of the house he observed the child fall back and the woman jump out of the window. He placed his machine against the windows in Quebec-street, but it appeared that they were only used for lighting the stiircase. He then raised the escape to the level of the third-floor in Bryaastone-street, and rescued an elderly gentleman and his wife who were clinging to the window-sill. Be after wards returned and rescued a man from the fascia of the shop. Hearing that other persons were still in the build ing he attempted to enter a window to save them, but the flames were coming out of every window except the parlours. He that got his short ladder, placed it across the iron railing, and entered the room, but found no one therein. By that time the firemen were working intrepidly, and with plenty of water. but the flames could not be extinguished until the whole building was destroyed. Four human beings were after wards found burnt to death in the ruins, and there are two others missing, who Lave no doubt also perished. The woman who jumped into the street has been removed to St. Mary's Hospital, where she remains in a very precarious state. The lower part of the premises was occupied by Mr. Mundin, a boot and shoemaker, who has lost every thing except his books and vouchers. The origin of the fire is unknown. THE DEATH OP A WIPE .IN GRAY'SINN-ROAD. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning Dr. Lankester resumed, at the Holborn union, the inquiry into the death of Mary Snelling. It will be recollected that the inquest was opened upon Tuesday last and adjourned for the purpose of the husband being present, and this morning he was brought up upon au order from the Right Hon. Horace Walpole, the Secre tary of State, in the custody of Inspector Bryant, of the Reserve G Division. Upon the arrival of the coroner the prisoner was brought in, and the coroner read over to him the evidence given at the examination. The first witness called was Dr. Norton, who said that ho was called in on Saturday to see the dec eased,: end found her dead, and much bruised. On a post marten' examination he found many bruises, some of them old ones. The cause of death was the fracture of the skull. The whole of the bruises on the bead could not have caused by falling down stairs. By Mr. Ricketts—The death arose from the facture of the skull. There was not any other bodily injury to ac count for death. Sarah Wallis, of 12, Vernlam-street, stated that she was called in and found the deceased in a state of insensibility. She (witness) sent a little boy to tell the husband that she was dying, and he' refused to have a doctor, and he said " That he was the hest doctor," and added " Let the old die," and he then kicked her whilst she was sense less in her arms. The boy told her at the time that the husband had struck her head upon the stones. Charles Francis Hawkins, a child about 9 years of age. stated that he saw the deZased fall down the steps, and the husband took her shoulders and knocked her head on the stones. Dr. Norton was asked if the bruises which he found on the head would accelerate death. Dr. Norton—Most certainly it would. Hawkins was recalled and asked by Mr. Ricketts if he saw the husband strike her head on the stones. Hawkins mid he did, and Tdielorea The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdicts of " Accidental death," and strongly censured the conduct of the husband. The coroner directed that the magistrate before whom the prisoner had been taken should be made acquainted with the censure of the jury. SUICIDE OF A JUVENILE PRISONER IR STAFFORD (;AOL. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before Vice•Chaneellor Sir W. Page Wood.) IV RE THE VNITED MERTHYR COLLIERIES CoMPANT. Mr. W. 1111. James, Q.C., appeared in support of a peti t' (part heard from &tun Lay) for the compulsory wind ing up of the company. Mr. Roshnigh, QC., for the company and the liqui dators, asked that the petition might stand over. A re solution for a voluntary voiniling up under supervision had been passed on the 2.3ril of March. Irolti, and two liquidators appointed. One of these gentlemen, Mr. McLeod, had been absent in Spain (though nut upon affairs of the com pany), since the presentation of the petition, and had only returned on Tuesday last. The co-liquidator, Mr. Dixon, had been cross.extunined, but knew nothing of many of the matters referred to in the petition, on account of the absence of Mr. McLeod. There were several charges in the petition which Mr. McLeod ought to have an oppor tunity of meeting. The Vice.('hancellor said that there had been plenty of time since the 9th of February, when this petition was first presented, for Mr. McLeod to have met the charges. He must refuse the application. Mr. James, Q.C. (with him Mr. F.dilis awl Mr. Ornierod, of the common law bar), then opened the petition. He said it appeared from the cross-examination of Mr. Dixon that the share list had been fraudulently dealt with, that the money paid in by the original subscribers had:been fraudulently dealt with, that false entries had been made in the books, and a false balance-sheet issued; and that one of liquidator*(3l'Leod), formerly secretary to the com pany, was mixed up in these transactions, and the other (Dixon) had appointed his partner solicitor to the liquidators. The petition stated that the com pany was established on the 16th February, 1844, with a capital of 1120,Issit, in 6,000 shares. A prospectus won issued. on seeing which, the petitioner applied for, and hail :allotted to lain', ro sham. The petition then pro ceeded to allege that the whole of the 6,000 shares were from time to time allotted. though upon many of them no money, and upon others only email sums, were paid; that the object of thin issue was to obtain the benefit of certain contracts, which were conditional on the issue of a certain number of sham ; and that after the object wax attained many of the shares were cancelled; that 9,000/. was spent in paying !premiums to late share ' holders, and advertising, and that the transactions were concealed by Mr. M`Leod from the shareholders. It further charged several gross inaccuracies in the balance sheet. No one of the directors had made any affidavit. The Vice-Chancellor stopped the petitioners. Mr. "%enlighten, for several shareholders, supported the petition. _ _ _ Mr. Roxburgh, Q.C., and Mr. A. Dixon, for the company and the liquidators, opposed the petition. They said they were not in a position to meet the charges of fraud, owing to the absence of McL e od, and argued th a t th e c ou r t cou ld not interfere with a voluntary winding up. Mr. Fry, for a creditor (the only one who appeared) also opposed, contending that there was no jurisdiction to order a compulsory winding up, unless the voluntary resolution were bad. Mr. Brad=ll, for shareholders, also opposed the petition. The Vice-Chancellor said be entertained no doubt that under the rilst section of the Companies' Act, 18h2, the court hail full power to remove either one or both liquidator, whether after a compulsory or a voluntary winding-up order. He thought it advisable fur the parties that the voluntary winding up should continue ; but it was plainly • case in which the arm of the court ought to be extended to these parties, and that they should be placed under its protection. The director were charged with having acted fraudu lently. (His Honour enumerated the charges.) And they had made no affidavit either meeting the charges or admitting their inability to meet them. The state of the case rendered it extremely diffi cult to say that the resolution for a voluntary winding-up was a valid resolution as having been passed at a properly constituted meeting of actual shareholders, and on that ground alone his Honour thought he should have had jurisdiction to act. But he adhered to his opinion, often before expressed, that there were matters of business in the management of these companies that the parties were much more coir.peten t to deal with than the court could be, and it was impossible that the court could carry on the commercial affairs of a large portion of the community. His Honour commented oath. conduct of the liquidator, and finally made an order continuing the voluntary winding-up, under the supervision of the court, with liberty to the petitioner or any other share holder to apply with regard to the removal of the liquida tors, or otherwise, as they might be advised. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goa(burn.) IN RP. MPICER AND NPICER. Thin was an application for leave to issue execution not withstanding a deed of assignment executed by the debtors in July last. The debtors were ship-brokers of Leadenball i.treet. Their liabilities are between 4,0001. end 5,000 i. The application was made under the likith section on behalf of Mr. Chu. Morrison, of Liverpool, a creditor for 600 f., who had obtained judgment against the debtors ; and upon his costs being taxed, the deed was put forward by thedebtora. His Honour, in giving judgment, said these applications had become so numerous as to form a great part of the business of the court. The creditor as business leave to issue execution against the debtors, although they had executed • deed, as they alleged, within the provisions of the act. The clause under which these applications were made was extremely wide—it merely said that execution should not issue without leave of the court ; so that it was a matter of discretion. The commissioners bad agreed that where • composition was offered, and not paid, that was a case in which execution ought to issue. And in a case decided by Lord Westbury, 'Mx parte Morrison in re Olung," it was held that where • deed was made evidently for the purpose of defeating • single creditor ane where no property passed under the deal, the creditor ought not to be deprived of his common law remedy. In the case before the court the property was not above 100(. in value ; there was in effect no assets, and the deed had been concocted with the view to defeat an individual creditor. In Clany'm case, Lord Westbury said that the deed bad been con cocted for a fraudulent purpose, and was an attempt to pervert the provisions of thelaw from the objecta for which they were intended. The principle of that case entirely governed the present. The debtors had been set up in business by their respective fathers, whose debts amounted to :3,600!., an amount sufficient to outweigh the other creditors. Mr. Morrison, a creditor who had got judgment against the debtors for 600 f., ref used to assent, believing that it was An attempt to deprive him of his legal remedy ; for as soon as ever Mr. Morrison had taxed his costs this deed was brought to light. The first question was whether the deed complied with the provisions of the act. On looking at it he found that there was not a single signature at tached to the deed itself. It was said that it was sufficient for the assents to be given on little bits of paper ; but, at all events, the court ought to see those assents, and they were not forthcoming. The deed was evidently meant to defeat Mr. Morrison g to whom 200 f. had been offered and refused. On those grounds the court held that the creditor was entitled to execution. There was no evidence that the deed haul been signed by the requisite majority of creditors, and it was clearly an attempt to defeat the true and lawful operation of the act. To give the parties an opportunity of appealing the order would not be issued for three days. On the application of Mr. Bagley, who appeared for the creditor, his Honour gave the costa against the debtors. IN RE BARTON.—SENTENCE UP IMP/LIsONYENT. The bankrupt waa a teacher of music and music-seller, of Alfred-place, Bedford-square. Debts only 2411. Mr. Holmes, a schoolmaster, opposed in person. He had educated and boarded three of bankrupt's children, and bad been put o ff from time to time with promises of payment, the bankrupt representing that his children were entitled to " a portion of 40,0001.," respecting which Chancery proceedings were pending. The bankrupt had since received something out of the court for the use of his children, but had not applied it as he had promised. Mr. Nicholson, for the bankrupt, argued that he could not be charged with contracting debts without probable means of payment, as he had received out of the Court of Chancey sufficient money to pay Mr. Holmes's bill, but had applied it for other purposes. His Honour said the case was a very bad one ; it was one of gross fraud. No case was so bad as that of a father getting the education of his children, and then cheating the achoolitaster out of his due. This n,an had been bankrupt before, and hail only recently taken up his order of discharge. He should not suspend the order, but sen tence him to three months imprisonment in Whitecross street prison. On the application of Mr. Nicholson, protection was given for a fortnight to allow time for appeal. IN RE r.vres.—THE TIMER' tt SLATE COMPANY. The bankrupt was described as formerly of the Imperial Hotel, Dublin, since of Farnham, Surrey, then in lodging. at Forest-hill, and since of Fenchurch-street, promoter of the Imperial Slate Company (Limited). The tuljudication was on the hankrupt'a own petition. The debts are 5,412/., of which 2,2 TV. are due to unsecured creditors. and i 4 'l. on accommodation bills. Additional accounts being required, an adjournment was ordered. NEw BLAt'KPRIAILS-BRIDGE.--CORSideTrible prn greas has been made in the works of this structure during the last four months.

John Withey, beadle of St. Paul's Church, Saffron-bill, said that yesterday afternoon he was standing outside the schools attach .1 to the above church, when there were about from I.lsi to 115) boys playing at rounders, throwing bricks, swearing, and making a great disturbance. The defendaht was one of the ringleaders of the gang, and the language that the defendant and the other boys made use of WA" , very bad. This annoyance occurred every Sunday, mid last Sunday it was found necessary to give another buy into cus??dy. the Rev. Mr:Laughlin said that the nuiaance occasioned by boys like the defendant was very great. They annoyed the Sunday•school teachers, and set a very bad example to the scholars. The defendant and his companions made use of very bed language, and often on a Sunday afternoon pitch and toss was being played at the school doors. l'olice-oonstable Beard, 211 said that when he took the defendant into custody he had just left off playing at rounders in front of the school. The defendant denied that he waa playing ; all that he waa doing was to look on. _ _ . Mr. ('Doke i charged the defendant, but ordered him to be confined in the cells attached W the court for u short time. DISTURBING A CONGREGATION. Thomas Barr, aged 13, an errand boy, of • 21, Norman's buildings, St. Luke's, was charged with disorderly con duct and annoying the congregation inside St. Barnabas Church, King's-square, St. Luke's. From the evidence of Mr. J. G. Hands, of 21, Powell street Eist, St. Luke* a schoolmaster, it appeared that last night the defendant entered the above church and was provided with a seat. He had not been there long before he wanted to go into a pew but was forbidden. After a time he made a great disturbance, called out " Peter, let me into a pew" and made such a noise that the service had to be stopped, and the prisoner was given into the custody of Police-constable Tonkin, 38 G, who took him to the police-station. The mother of the defendant said that he was a bad boy, and he had a brother in a reformatory. The defendant said he called out because he was not let into a pew that he thought he had a right to go into. He laughed anti treated the matter as a joke. Mr. Cooke discharged the defendant, but ordered him to be put back into the cells for a short time. The defendant WAS removed laughing. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FATHER AND HIS 51.55. Frederiri ara:nt, r a boy about 11 years of age, was charged before Mr. Tjnvhitt with stealing two sovereigns from his father, Henry Genzmer, a tailor, living at No. 5, Sherwood-place, Golden-square. The prosecutor said—The prisoner is my son. I yester day gave him the key of my room, and told him to go home and light the tire. On my subsequently going home the prisoner had left the place and taken two sovereigns with him, and when I found him he had only about 10e. left. 1 mimed the money out of a cupboard where I had hidden it Prisoner—You don't give me any food. Mr. Tyrwhitt— Have you not charged him before Prosecutor—Yes ; and I charged another son also with robbing me.

I doubt very much whether the money was taken at all. That the father wishes to get rid of hie boys I have every reason to believe. I will remand tho boy for • week, but I do so unwillingly • if anyone will be bail for him in the sum of 40e. I will ta ke bail. WANDSWORTH. CONVICTION OF A CONSTABLE.. 6e William* appeared to itnew7ra summons which cluirg e him that he, being a constable of the metropolitan police force, did unlawfully withdraw himself from his duties without having given one calendar month's notice to his superintendent. In the first instance Mr. Butt, the superintendent of the V division, of which the defendant was • twi stable, applied for the issuing of a warrant, but Mr. Dayman told him that it was not a case for • warrant, as the offence was punishable by a pecuniary penalty only. Mr. Butt said it was the prac tice in such cages to grant warrants, hut the magistrate said he should not grant one, and said if the constable failed to appear to • summons then a warrant would be granted. From the statement of Mr. Butt it appeared that the constable had formerly been in the army and that it war his intention to enter it again. For that purpose he had given the required notice to leave the force, but that did not expire until the 25th inst., and the object of the application was to keep up the discipline of the service and to show to the rnen that they could not do as they liked. The imigistrate then granted a summons but made it returnable before the usual time. Sergeant Haynes, 11 V, proved that the defendant had been absent from duty since the 6th inst. He was not among the men who paraded at the Tooting station on that occasion for night duty, but the sergeant saw him return home by the train at half-past 12 o'clock, drunk and unfit for duty. On the following morning the ser geant went to his house when his wife informed him that he refused to attend the superintendent's or commis. aliment' offices. He had not since paraded for duty. The defendant's answer to the complaint was that he met with some old comrades in the army. and bad too much to drink. He further said that while serving in India be received an injury to his head, and that was the cause of the drink taking so much effect upon him. The mason he did not panule for duty was that he did not feel competent for it. Mr. Dayman said that was not an excuse for remaining from duty ever since. Discipline in the force must be kept up, for if all the men were to leave in that way the public would be left unprotected. He fined him 40a., and in default to he imprisoned for one month. The flue was subsequently paid. The vacant trusteeship of the National Gallery ha been filled by the appointment thereto of Mr. W. IL Gregory, M.P.

This craft is, after a short delay, to go to Paris. 31i LTON'S-VaRD RAGGED-SCHOOL, ISLINGTON.— Ahout two months ago an appeal was made in this paper on behalf of the scholars connected with the above school, as well as their parents, who were then out of employment, and stating the privations which they were suffering . owing to that cause ; through that appeal the sum of 3i /. odd was most ki n dly sent by various par ties, by which means upwards o f 300 families have been relieved from time to time with bread, coals, meat, tea and sugar, kc., the number of individuals in the whole being about 1,300. With the exception of 21s. 9d. the whole of the amount sent was expended. On Thursday evening last nearly 200 lads had given to them one pint of coffee, bread and butter, and, in addition thereto, Mr. Nugent, of Islington, kindly gave them tw o buns each. The night being very cold the boys thoroughly enjoyed the warm coffee, &c. The amount in hand just covered the expense of this treat. A gentleman who was present on the occasion, told the boys that although Milton's-yard Ragged School was in a little comer, and not much known to the public, in comparison with some other ragged school., still, it gave him great pleasure in saying that the largest number of boys to receive the prise year, given by the Ragged - School Union, foe those w ho a rs in mtua non*, and having good characters from their employers, belong to the Milton's-yard Ragged School.

There is rather more business to-day in the Stock Exchange, and the tone of the markets is firmer. The improvement seems to have been I principally caused by the investment of a limited portion of the existing large amount of unem ployed capital, but the satisfactory tenor of the news from Ireland has also induced some of the speculators fur lower prices to close their accounts. Consols have improved per cent., and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. ex hibit an upward tendency, owing, it is stated, to some considerable purchases in connexion with the Post-office Savings Banks. In the railway depart ment, the demand is chiefly for Great Eastern and Great Western. The transactions in foreign stocks are limited, but Turkish meet with inquiry. United States 5-20 Bonds show flatness. The discount market is exceedingly quiet, and first-class bills are readily taken at 23 to per cent. The supply of money, although in excess of actual requirements, continuesto diminish, in consequence of the revenue payments to the Bank of England. The rate for advances for a few days on English government securities is 2 per cent. Consols are now quoted 901 to: for money, and 90,1 to 91 for the 10th of April. The foreign stock market is rather better. Turkish Bonds of 1863 are in demand, and have improved per cent. ; Russian scrip and Mexican have ad vanced !„ while Spanish Certificates and Italian of 1861 have declined to that extent.

The particulars are published of various shares and bonds of the Grand Russian Railway Company, which were drawn on the 7th ult., and are payable —the shares on the 13th July next, and the bonds on the 13th October. With reference to the dislocated condition of joint stock enterprise at Bombay, the circular of Sir Charles Forbes and Co., dated the 13th ult., contains the following : Though there has been considerable business transacted during the past fortnight in all descriptions of shares, the tendency generally has been towards dulness and lowrr prices. The decline is doubtless attributable to the corn. bination of native speculators having for the while its operations. (If the land communes several will require additional capital, and with this prospect there is every probability that such shares have not seen their loweg level. Consequent on rumours of the Bank of Itomboy being responsible for calls in an unlimited company the shares have been freely offered at gradually declining rates. Bank shares generally are lower. The share- of the Financial Association of India and China continue depressed. The ranges for the fortnight have been Bank of Bombay, 42 to 52 per amt. discount ; Royal Bank, Rs. 57 to Rs. lid per share ; Presidency Bank. Rs. G. to Rs. 70 per share ; Financial Association of India and (lima, Ra. 42 to Rs. 47 per share ; Bombay Reclamation Com- Rs. 2,200 to 2,800; United Victoria Land, H.. 1,175 to Rs. 1 , 240; Elphinrtone Land, old shares, Hs. .td to Rs. mo.

On Saturday morning an inquest was held at Stafford Gaol, before Mr. Morgan, coroner, on the body of Joseph Thomas Hunt, 15, who committed suicide in his cell on the previous Thursday evening. Mr. William Mountford, on being sworn, said—l am deputy-governor of this gaol. Deceased was admitted here as a prisoner on the 31st January last, on a charge of felony. He was tried at the sessions, on Thursday List, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and one whipping. By trade he was a printer, and his native place was New York. I believe he told the schoolmaster here that he had quarrelled with his step-father, and run away from home, coming over to England as a cabin-boy. He was once in Kirkdale-gaol for stealing. His dis position was cheerful, and his behaviour good, but the anticipation of a whipping has often a great effect upon the minds of prisoners. Henry Mills said—l am a warder. Last Thursday evening, at twenty minutes to nine o'clock, I unlocked deceased's cell door to get his belt and brush, sad felt something press against the door. Putting my head into the cell as far as I could, I saw deceased sus pended from the gas-pipe by the hammock-belt. As the gas was escaping, I could not take • light into the cell, but called for assistance, and then broke the belt, laid deceased on the Boor, and took the belt from his neck ; but he was quite deed. He was placed in the cell at about a quarter to seven o'clock, and was not visited afterwards until I went to the dour. To reach the gas-pipe he must have stood upon the . . . 'llr. Robert Hughes, surgeon to the gaol—l have seen deceased very often since his admission. There is no entry in my notebook worthy of remark. On Thursday evening I was called to his cell, and found him lying dead, with marks of injury round his neck. I have no doubt, from what I saw and was told, that death was caused by stran gulation. The jury returned a verdict to this effect, adding that deceased was at the time labouring under temporary Malty. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) 11101CALT, MARCH 11, $ •.Y. lE. r.' W. I F. I Extreme.

Charles Lever, the inexhaustible novelist, the genial humourist, the shrewd satirist, is about to desert to the Austrians. In fact, he hAs actually gone. Last week he struck his consular Hag at Spersis, where it may have been seen flying any time these last ten years or thereabout, and he is gone to hoist it in the flourishing seaport city of Trieste. All who know him will rejoice at the promotion for which he has so long waited, but Florence will certainly mourn his loss, which will leave a gap hard to fill in a very large circle of friends and intimates." At a meeting of the members of the Royal Insti tution on Friday evening. the Rev. W. Greenwell deli vered a lecture on "The Yorkshire Wold Tumuli." According to a Post-office notice respecting news papers to Russia, political newspapers, in covers open at the ends or sides, cannot be received unless addressed either to members of the imperial family, to the imperial ministers, or to members of the diplomatic corps.
