Tue report of an important battle in the She nandoah Valley, although at first so summarily rejected in the interest of prescription and routine, is confirmed. The new Confederate Commander in the Valley has hastened to measure himself with the young Federal General who has made that field his own. It will be remembered that at the beginning of October General SHERIDiN, having broken up EARLY'S army, and not contemplating an advance upon Lynchburg, destroyed the mili tary resources which he could not employ, and with drew to a point nearer to his source of supplies. This point was Strasburg, opposite Front Royal, and in communication with Alexandria by the re opening of the Orange and Alexandria railroad. General LW ..STREET, who had brought up his corps from Lynchburg, and gathered to it the re mains of Eant.i . s force, followed his enemy at a respectful distance until the Bth of October. At that date General SHERIDAN, disapproving of the increasing proximity of the Confederate cavalry, ordered an attack, which was successful, eleven guns being taken, with forty-seven waggons and be tween three and four hundred prisoners. As the broken and retreating squadrons were pursued as far as Mount Jackson, the main body, under Lovo grater, must then have been at leant three-and twenty miles distant from SHERIDAN'S army. About that time, however, the Richmond papers an nounced that LDS GSTREET'S operations were on the point of completion, and that he was about to move at the head of a force which would enable him to assume the offensive with every prospect of success. SHERIDAN appears to have given too little heed to these indications of his adversary's intentions, as we infer from his absence at Winchester, twenty miles from his army, a week afterwards. On the 19th, the Federal army, under the temporary command of General WRD:HT, was at Cedar Creek, north of Strasburg. tin the morning of that day LoNu- STREET attacked it before daylight—one ac count says during a dense fog—and must have got into a position which made that of his enemy moat dangerous before his intentions were suspected. The surprised Federals found their left com pletely turned, and leaving their breastworks fled in wild disorder, abandoning lour-and-twenty guns. For about six hours, if we may be lieve the telegram, the Confederates must have had everything their own way, and we have yet to learn from their reports to what account they turned their advantage. SHERIDAN, apprised of the disaster, hastened to the scene and found his army driven back between Middletown and Newtown, four miles from Cedar Creek. The changed aspect of the battle-field soon attested the presence of a master mind. About the middle of the day LIN..sTRELT appears to have completed his at rangements for an attack which should do for SHERIDAN'S army what SHERIDAN had previously done for EARL% 'S. At one o'clock be made a grand charge upon the hastily-formed Federal li.e, and was repulsed. By three o'clock Sumo- DAN was ready to attack in turn. He charged LoNcsrßcra, broke his line, drove Lim across Cedar lluu, captured 1,600 prisoners, and took back the guns lost earlier in the day, and as many more besides, routed his enemy, and pursued him with cavalry beyond Fisher's Hi:l. This haul,: will rank among the most importantof those that have recently been fought in Virginia. L. , No:sTRE ET is no more fortunate in the Shenandoah Valley than he was before Knoxville, and his name must be placed with those of JonN,eroNe, htt4,l,, and EARLY, on the list of Confederate Generals who have lost, in presence of the rising military talent of the North, the reputation they acquired when di- rected by the transcendent genius of General Roecitr This hatt•e not only proves the high ability of General SHERIDAN, but it shows plainly that the Federal troops are masters of the position they have taken up in the Shenandoah Valley. It cannot be doubted that in an engagement for which so :ouch preparation had been made, and from whieli so much had been expected, the Con federate cuoulander put forth his whole strength. The advanta4es won by General LIPNGSTREET early on the I were the fair reward of tactical skill, but from 1 o'clock onwards the contest was a trial of strength, and we may be sure that 1.0 guns were not tiskett from the Confederates without very Lard lightio4. Indeed the number of generals who fell on b Ali sides would alone show that the con test was severe. The Federal victory, won over tbe combined f .rces of EtHLY and LoNurreeer, was thus si4nsl and complete. The C,.lifederate journals continue to predict the evacalati al of Atlanta, and General 'loon con tinues to retreat from an adversary whom he is not strong emmgh to meet. It is said that he is about to be Joined by General 1 3 EAUREGARD, who holds the departmental command ; bnt unless that officer can bring him 30,000 good fighting men he may as %LA stay where he is. ebt Court.

At the Council held by the Queen at Windsor Castle, on Tuesday last, Parliament was farther prorogued from Friday, the 11th inst., to Friday, the 13th of January next. The Duke and Duchem of Sutherland have arrived at Tarbet House, the duchess's seat in Rose-shire, from Dunrobin Castle. Next week the noble duke and duchess remove south. The Duchess of Somerset, accompanied by Lord Edward St. Maur and Lady Ger►ldine St. Maur, wiU arrive at the First Lord's residence at the Admit.'lty to-day from Paris.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury are about to entertain a imcoession of visitors at Hatfield Park, Herts. Some of the visitors will arrive on Sate-day next. . . . _ The funeral of the late Marquis of Bristol is to take place on Saturday nest, when his mortal remains will be deposited in the small family church in the park, about a quarter of a mile from the hall. The sacred edifice was built and consecrated for the burial-place of the Hervey family some thirty years ago. The Earl and Couut;3s of Derby will entertain a large party at Knowsley neat week. The company will meet on Monday neat. The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon arrived in town yesterday from flighelere Castle, near Newbury, with the intention of passing a few days in London before their departure for Italy for the winter. . _ Lord and Lady Chelmsford and the Hon.

Seymour, G.C.8., Naval Commander-in-Chief at Portamouth, yesterday went out of Portsmouth Ifarbonr to Spithead in the Sprightly, steam tender, Commander G. Allen, and made an official inspec tion of her Majesty's iron-frigate Warrior, Captain the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., with the results of which the gallant admiral was highly pleased. The Warrior is expected to go into Portamouth Harbour to-day from Spithead to dis mantle and pay oat of commission, at the conclusion of her first and most successful cruise of any ship belonging to our iron fleet. Notice has been given at Oxford for Monday next, 7th inst., of a motion for the appointment of • com mittee to consider of the best means of obtaining • perma nent endowment for the Greek chair. It was generally supposed at Dublin that the case of "Bartlett v. Lewis" would be postponed again till after the term which commenced yesterday, but the Chief Baron has resolved to proceed with it till it is concluded. As the case is full of the romance of speculation, the speeches ere likely to be very exciting. The only witness examined on Tuesday wee Mr. George Hudson, late "the Railway I King," who gave an account of his monetary transactions with Mr. Lewis, some of his own speculations, the purchase of his estates and their incumbrances. He was examined by Mr. Butt sod cross-examined by Mr. Brewster, with whom the veteran speculator had some animated encounters. . . Mr. Boucicault, assisted by Mr. John Brougham and Mr. Emery, is to produce a new piece at the Dublin Theatre, ou Monday evening next, entitled " Arrah us Pogue ; or, the Wicklow Wedding," which he alleges has been specially written for the Dublin public. It appears that Mr. Thomas C. Satdars, one of the directors of the Imperial Mexican Itailway Company, proceeded to Vera Cruz in the mail•ateamer Seine from Southampton yesterday as the accredited agent for the com pany in the eetablishment of its relations with the Mexican government. The death took place a few days ago of the C,oun tele of Nassau Countess of Oultremoct) at bar chateau ol Rohe, near Aix-la-Chapelle. William L, King of the Notherlaods, aporeciatiog the good qualities of the coun tess, chose her as the companion of his later years, when, wearied with the affairs of State and of politics, he volun tarily abdicated the sovereignty to which he bad been called. During the whole of the subsequent life of his Majesty, the countess showed that she was well deserving of the distinction which her august spouse had conferred upon her, and after she became his widow she ceased in her endeavours to make the best use that she could of the wealth which his Majesty had left at her disposal. A report believvd (says the Tiow.) r to be com pletely without foundation, has been current in the Stock Exchange that Messrs Rothschild have entered into a con tract to supply the Bank of France with 2.000.0034 in gold. The advices from Amsterdam leave uo doubt as to the disappear►nce of M. Mendel, the manager of the Dutch ert'dit Mobilier. Heavy losses from personal specula tions are understood to have been the cause, although it will probably also be found that the company will suffer severely from doubtful or dangerous lovestments. There hag for some time been a strong desire that there should be a geteral exhibition of the manufactures and works of art of all the Scandinavian States, and that it should be held in Copenhagen, in the tame way that ex hibitions of the same kind, which were first held is Lon don, have since taken place in Paris sod elsewhere. A committee for carrying the wishes that had been expressed on this subject was therefore some time ago appointed, of which his It ayal Ilighnesa Prince Oscar was selected to be the president, and the report has just been published, in which it proposed " That an exhibition of the products of the three Scandinavian States—Sweden, Norway, and Denmark—should take place in the summer of lalaiG, sod that for that purpose a crystal palace should be constructed at the expense of the state and of the c.pital." On Tuesday - afternoon a model of the Echo Challenge Shield was placed in the vestibule of the Puha ! ment House, Elioburgh. It will be remembered that the shield is the gift of Lard Elcho, tobecompeted for &noisily at the meetings of the National Rifle Association by eight Scotch against an equal number of English riflemen. At last meeting the hormar was won by the Scotch eight; bat in con- sequence of the extensive and elaborate nature of the work, the shield his not vet been completed, and in i order that the winners might hate something to show, an exact copy of it has been executed in plaster.

A letter from Berlin gives the following amount of the treaty which has been signed at Vienna " I now transmit to you some details of the treaty of peace which was signed yesterday at Vienna between the plenipotentiaries of Denmark on the one side, and those of Prussia and Austria on the other. The treaty contains 24 articles and some riders. The first article only repeats the corres• pending article of the preliminaries of peace. The King of Denmark makes a surrender of all his rights over the Duchies of 81e-swig-Holstein and Lauenburg in favour of the King of Prussia and of the Emperor of Austria. As an equivalent for the Jutland territory of Mogeltondern, of the Isle of Amrom, of the Jutland parts of the Isles of Foebr, Sylt, and Roemse, &c., which Denmark has ceded to the Duchies, a portion of Northern Sleswig has been left to Denmark. The peninsula of Stenderup, which is situated opposite to Fionia, is comprised in Danish Sleswig. In according this compensation for the Jutland districts— a compensation which was ardently desired by Denmark on account of the strategic posi tion of the ceded territory—the German Powers have proved that the separation of Sleswig from the Danish monarchy was not a first step in view of a dismemberment of Denmark. On the other hand, the treaty of peace contains no stipu lation designed to guarantee the language of the Danish population inhabiting German Sleswig. Article 6 stipulates for the nomination of a mixed commission composed of Prussian, Austrian, and Danish plenipotentiaries, who will have to proceed to the places in question, in order to regulate the details of the new line of demarcation. Article 7 and those which follow are devoted to the arrange ment of financial matters. The quota-share of the Danish debt which falls to the charge of the Duchies is fixed at 29 milieus of rixdales (89i millions of francs). The mode of payment of this sum to Denmark by the Duchies is provided for in detail by the treaty of peace. Denmark is com pelled to restore the German merchant vessels, with their cargoes, or so many of them as have not yet been sold by Denmark ; for these last Denmark is bound to pay damages to the owners. There is now no longer a Danish question, the only ques tion is that of the Duchies." (uvrries riczclimis.) FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 3. The Constitutionnel, of to-day, publishes an article, signed by M. Pauli❑ Limayrac, pointing out the great enthusiasm with which the Emperor was received by the population on his journey through France to pay a vi,it of courtesy to the Emperor and Empress of Russia. STRANDING OF THE JURA. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3, G A.m. The Canadian steamship Jura, from Quebec on the 22nd ult., ran ashore at Crosby Point, Liver pool, at 1 this morning. She has not yet been got off. LIVERPOOL, TIMRSDAT MORNING. The Jura has been left dry by the tide, and has broken in two amidships. The passengers and cargo are being landed. ACCIDENT TO ME BORUSSIA. SOUTHAMPTON, Nor. 3. Noox.

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE IN THE SHENANDOAH. The correspondent of the New York Ileraid of the 21st ult, gives the following account of the battle between Longstreet and Sheridan : The enemy had noiselessly passed • heavy column of troops behind the hill on the south-west side of Cedar Creek, directly in front of the position occupied by our extreme pickets. At • given signal the enemy ad c►noed rapidly in solid column. Oar pickets were charged, some of them captured, and some of them driven in before they bad time to discharge their muskets. Haring driven i• or captured our pickets on the left line of the infantry, the enemy charged 'cruse Cedar Creek at the fords, and very soon after on the bridge of the said stream, and reached the side of the hill and breastwork occupied by Thempeon's division of the Bth Army Corps. (Crook'.). The Confederates premed on, completely sus ! prising, and in a measure stampeding the left of Gene ral Sheridan's line. By this success the enemy gained some artillery (I believe the 4th Pennsylvania battery). The suddenness of the attack and its wonderful success for a short tinae, bewildered the troops. At this time a bold charge was made by the enemy, under cover of his guns, to capture Emery's artillery. In a measure this charge was successful, although it was resisted with great vigour. In the charge the Confederates took one or two pieces of the Ist Maine battery, and 1 believe a portion of the Chase battery. The enemy. seeing the success of his surprise, brought his columns and his artillery across Cedar Creek to press the pursuit with vigour. While this was being done a brief lull prevailed, indoor line was contracted sod commenced slowly felling back. General Sheridan arrived from Win. chaster, re-organising his forces then seemingly more given to • retreat than an advance. He promptly changed the aspect of our military affairs, and turned the tide of battle. The cavalry wee then sent upon the right, the 19th Corps was placed next to it, the Sth Corps in the centre, ►nd the corps on the left with Powell's division, which was for a time cut off on the left of all ; a charge of the enemy resisted, and an advance made successfully. Our losses are estimated at 5,000, General Lee reports that on the 14th Colonel Mosby struck the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Duffield, destroying a United States' mail train consisting of a locomotive and 10 cars. Twenty prisoners and 15 horses were captured. Amongst the prisoners were two paymasters, with 168,000 dole. in Government Bonds. The Confederate cnogress will assemble at Rich mond on the 7th of November. QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 3. The Tomlin steamer Edinburgh, from New York on the 22nd ult., has arrived, with 227,000 dollars in specie. Her news has been fully anticipated by the Jura, which brought despatches to the 22nd, eveniug. EXPRESS FROM PARIS EXPECTED RETIREMENT OF M. DROITYN DE LHUYS. (nor OUR owz comparoirorn.) PARLS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. I am positively assured, in a quarter which I have hitherto found trustworthy, that M. Drouyn de Lhuys is going out of office, and that the new Minister for Foreign Affairs will be the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, now Ambassador to the Court of London. The following paragraph in this even ing's Pays is probably connected with the above fact, which reaches me from a private and exclusive source : The Prince de Is Tour d'Auvergne, who, it wee thought, had gone to London, is still in Paris, and will not leave it for some days. The news of his departure was, however, well founded at the time ; only just as he was about to go • telegram from Nice summoned him to the south of France. The prince passes for being even a more fervent catholic than M. Drouyn de Lhuys, and therefore some anxiety is likely to be felt as to the signifi cance of his accession to the Foreign-office in regard to the construction so much canvassed of the con vention of Sept. 15. The Pays says it is "probable" (this is a subject ou which no semi-otticial organ has yet been enabled to speak positively) that the departure of the court for Compiegne will take place on Sunday or Monday next ; that there will be three series of invitations, and that the visitors included in the first list will be at Compiegne on November 10. lam told, how ever, that no invitations have yet been issued. Lord Bloomfield, the Duke of Somerset, and several Lords of the Admiralty are now in Paris, and are expected to stay some days. The Teieps publishes this evening a second letter from its London correspondent (M. Louis Blanc), arguing with much ingenuity that Muller's guilt is not conclusively proved. The clever Frenchman admits, however, that it is ten thousand to one that Muller is guilty. It is easy to see that not any reasonable doubt of Muller's culpability, but hostility to capital punishment in any case whatever, is at the bottom of M. Louis Blanc's reasoning. The Tonps, which was the first journal to give the news in a positive form of the contemplated creation of a cause of great public works, now says that a special commission is about to open an in quiry as to what public works are urgently re quired throughout the empire ; and that it is not until after the report of this commission that the! cause, or "any other analogous institution," will be established. Moreover, inasmuch as the mea sure, whatever it may ultimately be, will involve an expenditure of public money, it must necessarily be submitted to the Corps Legislatif. I have no doubt that the above paragraph was dictated to the Temps by the government in order to tran quillise public opinion, which has been considerably excited by current rumours of a loan, confirmed as they were, in such a remarkable manner, by the Duke of Magenta's circular in Algeria. A respite, at any rate, seems to be now promised, and if in spite of M. Fould's remonstrances the pro fuse expenditure advocated by MM. Hausmann and Behic is to go on it will not be authorised by any sudden decree. No ceremony will be left out iu order to give the sanction of law to extrava gance. The war in Algeria appears to be far from over, for we are told to-night that about the 4th or sth of November the entire army under the Duke of slagenta's command will "resume the offensive." It is ititended to attack the insurgents in several points at once, and of course it is not doubted that lecisive results will be obtained. It is stated that most of the chambers of com merce, being asked their opinion of the bill for an alteration of the usury laws now before the Council of State, have reported in favour of free trade in money. The I3ourse, although the settlement has gone off better than was expected, closed rather heavily. Rent° fell 15c., the last prices being ti4fr. 60c. and ll4fr. 45c. lilobilier remains without change. Railways are somewhat higher. A Paris letter, in the Post, says :—" Baden- Bodes, that pleasant ' watering.place' with the reput►tion of furnishing to the obituary of Europe annually a list of suicides, io consequence, some people say, of its gambling institutions, has this week been the scene of a sad catas• tropbe. Two young persons, a handsome young lady and a line youth, arrived the other day at one of the principal hotels. After dining they retired to rest. The youthful pair were found dead in the bed next morning, a poniard baring been plunged into each other's heart. It does not appear that this fatal act originated in any loss of money at the tables, but that • long waiting love' was the cause, and that they would not live to hear the world's reproaches." REI'RESESTATION OF WEST SUFFOLK.—LoraI Augustus Hervey, brother of the retiring member, and air Edward C. Kerrison, of lirome Hall, are mentioned as pro f table c►ndidates for the vacancy in the representation I f West Suffolk, consequent on the lamented death of the late Marquise( Bristol, and the elevation of Earl Jermyn to the House of Lords. A rumour is also prevaleut that Mr, Fuller Maitlsod Wilson, of Longhorn, will be invitod to contest the county on liberal principle,. THE PRINCE CONSORT IN COLLISION OFF PLY ' )101 - lii. —The Prince Consort, 35, screw, iron-cased ship, ' Car lin George O. C. 8., while coming into Ply ) mouth Sound, on Tuesday morning, came in collision with the schooner Commodore, of Jersey, and narrowly escaped sinkiog her. The accident happened four miles outside the Breakwater, at about 4 o'clock, The schooner bad just stsy, d, with her bead to the south, and her crew ! " hailed the Prince Consort on perceiving her approach. I The crew of the latter were engaged in reducing ; sail , previous to entering the Sound, and did not seem to Doti°, the schooner at hint. Forte ' nately the proximity of the vest)! was at length discovered. ' just early enorgh to allow them to come into collision only side by side. The crew of the schooner, frightened at the I formidable proportions of their neighbour, immediately took , refuge on board the Prince Consort. After the vessels had cleared, it being observed that the schooner was not sink• ' log, her crow were sent on board her spin by one of the Prince Consort's boats. The latter then took the schooner in tow sod brought ber into the Sound. The schooner lost her fore topmast, part of her fore-rigging. and of her rail and bulwarks, but suffered no damage of importance to her hull. She was towed into the Hammes by a government steam-tug, to be repaired by the dockyard authorities, The Prince Consort carried away her wrnsker.boutu in the will. lion.— Wr:r co Afoi!niny Nt erg. A Vreser., RUN DO% N OFF GREENOCK. —On Tuesday mornisg, shortly after 3 o'clock, an the Dublin steamer Lord Gough was on her passage up the river, off the Red Lamp, below Greenock, Captain Ward sighted a low two•masted vessel like a schooner lying moored but showing no lights, and before he had time entirely to slow ; his steamer he ran into her. He immediately stopped and lowered a boat, the men on board of which hailed the injured vessel, but could see no signs of any person being in her, and in ten minutes after striking the schooner went down. The steamer re. maioed about the place where the schooner gook until satisfied that none of the crew were floating about, and then proceeded on her way up the river. One of the Lon. donderry steamers, which arrived at Greenock two hours afterwards, repor•ed having passed a vessel's boat full of water drifting outwards off Kempoch. The tide was about the first quarter of ebb when the schooner was run down. When day dawned quantities of wreck were seen floating along the shore from the foot of Fox-street on to below the Battery Point, and people from the houses along Clyde. street were out picking up fragments of wood. A young woman, servant to Mr. Turner, writer, whose house is uu the shore at the foot of Beutiuck•street, wailed into the water and brought out of the river.) bible which was flouting past, and which bad written on one of the boards, " Robert Haugh, schooner Isabella, of Wietou." About the same place a pair of oars were picked up, several large pieces of wood, like pert of a vessel's bulwark., painted dark green outside, and stone colour hulas, the cover of a hatch about two feet six iodise square, black on top and red in side, and quantities of detached portions of broken wood. The sunken vessel tarns out to be the schooner Robert Haugh, master, from Whitebaves, laden with pig iron.

Mr. Bovill, (1 0., said this was an action for negligence, tried before the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall, when the jury returned • verdict for the plaintiff, damages 3,0001., which were apportioned by the jury as follows : 2,0001. for the widow, and 1,0001. to be divided amongst the children then under age. The learned counsel now moved for the rule aid, calling upon the plaintiff to show came why the verdict should not be set aside, and • new trial had, on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. The deceased gentleman resided at Harrow, and on the day of the accident he had gone to Berkhampstead. On his return to the station he was crossing the line at the proper place to the up-platform, when the express train, which was seven minutes late, came up, and knocked him dowa, and he was killed on the spot. The Berkhampetead station stands on a sharp curve. A train coming up can be seen 100 yards from the station when looking up the line, but at 900 yards distance if looking across the country. The express train was due at 2.47, and the train by which the deceased was about to leave at 3 o'clock. The evidence for the plaintiff was that no porter was at the station to warn the deceased, but the defendants called • porter, who swore that he twice cautioned him, but be took no notice of it. The whistle was sounding when the train was within 100 yards of the station, and persons who were on the platform shouted and held up their hands. The deceased the moment beam the engine, rushed forward, but had he stepped back he would have saved himself. If the deceased, who was an elderly m►n, had used his eves and his ears instead of walking with his head down, thinking, he must have seen and heard the train before it came up. The Lord Chief Justice said there was some conflict of testimony on that head, viz., whether the engine driver used the whistle before he maw the unfortunate gentleman onthe rails._ _ Mr. Bortll said the evidence for the defence was that the deceased was cautioned, and that three of the witnesses who saw the train coming shouted and held up their hands for him to stop. Mr. Hughes, one of the plaintiff's wit nesses, also deposed that if the deceased had used his eyes and ears there would have been abun- dant time for him to stop and the unfortunate acci dent would not have happened. The deceased lived on the line, and mast have been aware that trains passed up and down every ten minutes or a quarter of an boor. The Lord Cuief Justice said he should have been better pleased if the verdict had been the other way, but it was • question of evidence entirely for the jury, who considered the deceased had not been warned as he ought to have been. There was evidence which pro duced a considerable impression on his mind th►t the de ceased genth man did not exercise that caution which a man was bound to do when crossing a railway. That evidence was pressed with great ability on the attention of the jury, but they thought otherwise. Mr. Bevill said he could only urge that there was evi dence of cautioning the deceased by words, shouting, &c. Mr. Justice Crompton said that shouting and whistling at railway stations often bewildered people ; and whilst they were considering, very frequently the mischief it was in tended to prevent unfortunately happened. The Lord Chief Justice said be thought there should be no rule. He should have been better pleased as he had said if the verdict had been the other way, but starting with the finding of the jury that it was negligence on the past of the company io their not having cautioned • man whom they had invited to cross the rails that an express ' train was due, the question how far • man who met with his death, might have contributed towards it from want of care was a matter on which they could not lay down any precise rule, but was a case espe cially for the consideration of the jury. The jury had found that this was not that negligence which deprived the relations of compensation, and he was not so much dissatis fied with the verdict as to recommend that it should be set aside. ----- The other learned judges concurred. Rule refuted. WALTZES V. MANSFIELD AND ANOTHER. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., mid this was an action for injuries received through the alleged neglige nce o f th e d e f ee dant's servants. The allegation was that the defendants, who were large contractors, had allowed • piece of timber to lie accost the footway in the neigh• bonrhood of Holloway, over which the plaintiff fell and received the iojuries complained of, The action was tried at Guildhall before Mr. Justice Mellor, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 100/. The learned counsel moved to set the verdict aside and for a new trail, on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prins in Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Justice Willa' and a Common Jury.) CLCSB i•. nunsom.—SETTIANG CIMICTAL PROCIEDLIGS. The parties to this suit were tradesmen in the neighbour. hood of Itegent-street, and in September, 1861, the plaintiff discounted for the defendant • bill for 301. Subsequently the defendant became bankrupt, the plaintiff Nosed his debt wad the defendant was discharged. The next step was that the plaintiff obtained • summons at the police-court against the defendant for obtaining money upon the hill on false pretences, and the summons was beard and adjourned. Under these circumstances the defendant went to Mr. Lewis, • solicitor, who knew both parties, said that he never intended to defraud plaintiff, and offered to settle the proceedings upon the terms of paying 101. and giving a promissory note for 201. These 1411115 were accepted; sod the present action was to recover the amount of the 201. note. Mr. Reynolds appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. IlAtthews for the defendant. Evidence having been given to prove the ►bove fact; it was objected for the defendant that the promissory not was void, upon two grounds : first, that it had been given in respect of ► debt from which the defendant had been dis charged by the Baokraptcy Court; and, secondly, that it bad been given to stifle a criminal proceeding. Mr. Justice Willes said that it wee clear that the not would have been void on the first ground under the Bank ruptcy Act of 1649, sod in his opinion the not still was void under the act of INA. If the note had been given to compromises felony it would no doubt have been void ; but the question was whether the same effect followed when it was given to compromise a misdemeauour. The beet course would be for him to direct a verdict for the defendant, and reserve to the plaintiff leave to move the full court to enter the verdict for himself. Verdict for the defendant accordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. - -•••- --- Sittings in Banco in Michaelmas Term—(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Barons Bramwell, ChanneU, and Pigott.) TRACKSELL AND CLATTON tl. W7LSON. •---. Mr. 'femme showed cause against • rule obtained by Mr. Gates to set aside an award, oa the ground that the proceed ings before the arbitrator were irregular. The plaintiffs were manufacturers of a gas apparatus for private house', and carried on business at Manchester, The defendant, who also lived at Manchester, dealt in articles of that kind, and fixed up the plaintiff.' gas apparatus in his premise.. lie sold • great number of them to his customers, and became indebted to the plaintiffs ie the sum of b 1&. lion being asked to pay he complained that the apparatus did not perform what the plaintiffs promised, and the matter iu dispute was ultimately referred to a person named Fletcher, who made an award. Wilson complained that the arbitrator had received certain evidence io his absence ; but the plaintiffs said be had only taken such evidence as the parties bad agreed should he received, Mr. Holker followed on the same side. Mr. Gates was heard in support of the award. He said that at the second and last meeting, before the arbitrator, Wilson stated in what respect an apparatus fitted up at the house of • Mr. C ,at Windermere, failed. but Trscksell and Clayton alleged that the failure bad arisen fnim the unskilfulness of Wilson's workmen in fixing it up. It was then agreed that Clayton should go to Carver's house and rectify any defect from the ma akilfuluess of the workmen, and that if be could satisfy the arbitrator that the apparatus bad worked efficiently foe 10 or 12 consecutive hours, Wilson would pay the plaintiffs claim in full, together with the costs. Clayton went and substituted for the two generators then in use two others on an entirely different principle, for which the plaintiffs had taken out a separate patent after the first generators were supplied. The learned counsel contended that this was not an alteration but a sub stitution of something entirely different. After some discussion it wen arranged that the matter should stand over in order to see if the parties could agree to • reference to the Manchester County Court Judge. COURT OF EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.

Worrell, clerk to Mr. Graham, the •, gigues% submitted to the court • very able report on it.- in which he not only analyses the accounts, lit , sketch of the extraordinary career of this bankrupt. lie rye :—" The bankrupt commences has balance—beet on the Ist of October, 1852. The accounts ch,,,r, period of four years and six and a half MOW). give the following results. (Then follow the given above.) This balance.sheet commences with a c ,t,.. mint of affairs on the lit of Octoter, 1832, the which are insignificant compared with those new bed.... , ,,, The assets are therein stated at 11,445/., of which .;. are estimated, and the debts then rising by the bankrupt at 2.i701. In October, 1832, Brat.i-ea Island was purchased for 13.0001., from whence ar.,se the pottery business, after an outlay of shoat 48,0001. The books containing the accounts route:lEl with the pottery commence in January, 1556. and have been well kept, there being full details of all cash receiy,,i and expended, and of goods manufactured and v:d. The amount of gross profits arrived at is 5,`...7/., and those figures are vouched. But against this amount ',lust be set the trade expenses, amounting to 4.1:::;!., at.d louts by bad debts, 3.35/.—together, a nett profit of 1,4671. The bankrupt appears to have sold his commission as colonel in the 20th Regiment of Foot in May, 1655, and about the same time to have become a proprietor of 60 shares in the London and Eastern I ink. His account with that bank commenced in March Frs. viouslv, the total transactions with which amounted to 551,637/. 8.. !0., ending with a balance against the bankrupt of 2'21,7331. Bs. 4d. In connection with such advances from the bank and other parties, roust be noticed an item in the balance sheet for interest, disccunt,con: n and bank charges a A complete cash account has es been filed, showing totals on each side of 732,5514 A great many vouchers are produced to support it, consisting of the pottery hooka, bank passbooks. and suodry isceipts and statementeof aocounts; but the greater part is taken from the accounts of the London and Eastern Back, Messrs. t an and Co., and the London and County Bank, for which there are no passbooks. To that extent therefore, I must refer to the testimony of the able accountant, Mr. C. Brown, by whom these accounts have been prepared, under the sr. pointmest of the court, and who has had access to the sources from which the figures are derived. One the most noticeable items in the balaooe.sheet, taken in connection with the small profit and absence of other is. come, is the large amount of personal expenditure for the four years and a half, 44,555!., in which should be corn. prised such further voluntary expenditure, classed under the bead of sundries, as gifts, subscriptions and donati.ts I to charities, allowazioss, 1,778/. and the cash halar.,,i 500 f. There is also the item of farm expenses, 11,3.;6?., which are vouched, and may be properly considered as Icee in forming part of such expenditure, added to the verse of the Branksea property by improving the land, and fairly as an addition to the domestic expenses. The property bed by creditors-185, 2 811.—is returned at the amount it cost and the expenditure thereon ; but the moults of its re. &Bastion, subject to pending questions, must ultimately considerably add to the amount of the unsecured creditors. I believe the accounts to have been carefully prepared, and they are probably as accurate as can be under all the cif cumstances of the cam." _ Mr. Linklater appeared for the assignees ; Mr. C. E. Lewis for the official managers of the London and Eastern Banking Corporation • and Mr. Sargood for the bankrupt. Mr. Linklator said it was proposed to take another adjournment, as the amount of proof to be made by the London and Eastern Bank had not been settled. .1 pro posal had beau made by them, which it was desirable to accept, but the assignees bed not had en opportunity of considering it. As the accounts of the bankrupt had only beer, placed in the hands of the sugarless OD the 4th of last month, further time would be required to examine them. They could not be considered udidartory. The debts were a quarter of a and the expenditure for four and a half years was put down at 45,0001. Cool,. daring the magnificent style in which rhe ccluael had hred near Hyde-park, it was almost surprising thkt his expendi. tare had been so little. (A laugh.) An adjournment for six weeks was asked for. Mr. C. E. lewiswas proceeding to address the mutt, when Sargood took the objection that be could cot be heard, the London and Eastern Bank having u vet made no proof, but only placed a claim on the proceeding.. His Honour said it was immateri►l, as it appeared that there must be an adjournment. Mr. Lewis said it was a meeting for dividend as well ia last examination. Ultimately an adjournment for six weeks was ordered. Mr. &Mend renewed his application for a further allow ►nce to the bankrupt. Mr. Linklater regretted that such an application should be made. His Honour aid he could not lose right of the tict that the bankrupt bad expended 10,000!. a year, sod had taken 51101. with him when he went abrosd. The court would greatly err if it sanctioned any further allowance. Every coo•idene tion had been shown to the baukrupt, and it we. pot fur the court to he charitable at the expense of the creditor, The allowance already made (If. a week) would be cootioued op to thw time, and would now came.
