THE LONDON AND NOILTII-WE , TI. lIN RAIL WAY CO.—DEVIATIONS.—INJuscriox. — This was a motion to restore an injunction which the Master of the Rolls had dis solved. Mr. Cooper and Mr. J. A. Cooke in support of the motion said, that though the terms of the notice were to re strain the defmdants from carrying their railway (from Staf ford to Rugby) across the plaintiff's property, by a cutting under the roadway, stillit was net the plaintiff's wish to stop the works, but his object was to compel the defendants to re fer to an arbitrator the matter of the additional damage that would be done to the plaintiff's property by a cutting, instead of crossing the road on a level. The plans and sec tions deposited with the clerk of the peace showed that the crossing of the road by the railway was to be on a level; and in the agreement into which the plaintiff entered respectiug his land taken by the company for the purpose of the railway, it was his intention that the railway should cross the road on a level. lie swears he would not have entered into the agreement except with that intention. Now, the defendants were deviating from the plans and sections, and also front their agreement with the plaintiff, and were carrying the railway across his land and the road by a cutting. The powers given for deviating in the Land Chums Consolidation Act, provided that such deviations should be made with as little damage to proprietors of lands and others as was p~•sible. The Lord Chancellor, in the course of the argument and at the conclusion, said the plans and sections deposited and exhibited to the public were intended to show the direction of the line generally, bat not to prevent alterations and de viations in the course of the works. Unless these deviations were prohibited by the special act or by the contract between the parties, this court could not interfere by injunction, because the general act empowered the company to deviate. Ilia lordship was clearly of opinion that the contract between these parties did not prevent this deviation, nor did the special act. The party whose land was taken was entitled to compensation for every damage done by the works. The plans, so tar as they were essential to the railway, were to be adhered to; but if every deviation was to be made the subject of the interference of this court, no railway at all amid be constructed. If the plaintiff could make out that this deviation did him damage, he would get compensation for it. There was no equity raised in this matter, and there would be Le justification of this court to interfere, by injunc • tion, to restrain works that are not contrary to the act of parliament, or to the contract between the parties. The motion must be dismissed, with costs. Before the Master of the Rolls. The court was occupied the greater part of the day in hearing shod cowl-3, and consent petitions, after which mo tions wero resumed, but nothing of interest was heard. Before thc Vice-Chancellor of England. RANIER V. THE BLACEIIURN AND ROVION RAILWAY COM- PANY.—INJENCTION TO RESTRAIN Tun COMPANY FROM TAKING POSSESSION OF LAND.—Mr. linh and Mr. Pole moved to dissolve an injunction, granted in November last, to restrain the defendants,the railway corepany,from entering upon certain lands belonging to the plaintiff until they had made compensation, under the terms of their act. The land intended to be taken consisted of four acres, and was intersected by a stream called Nillittlestone Head. upon which the plaintiff intended to erect " print works," and bad estimated the value in consideration of the loss he should sustain at 4,00:)!. A valuation was sabscquentiy made upon notices served under the act, and the sum cmounted only to 6321. It was discovered afterwards that the notices were informal, in consequence of which further notices were given, and a fresh valuation made, but without the necessary , order of a magistrate. The objection on the part of the defendants to the inkinetion which had been granted was that in its present form thc company were re strained from taking possession of the land upon payment of the purchase money into court under the 85th section of the aot.—Mr. Bethel] and Mx. Hetherington appeared for the railway company.—The Vice-Chancellor said he thought the valuation had nut been made in the manner prescribed by the act, and it was, therefore, rightthat the injunction should stand, but u it clearly was made to extend tooter, he thought the terms should be to restrain the company from taking possession until compensation shou l d have been made, or until the terms of the act should have been complied with. Before The-Chancellor Knight Vt - uce. IN nr. NonTit.—RABEAS COUPUC—CiVAUDIANSOIP OP Anstey moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the bodies of the four infant children of the late Captain North, whom the learned counsel stated had been abducted by their aunt, Miss Arabella North, from the house of their grandmother, Mrs, Wilson. at Hastings. The ap plication had been made on Thursday, but his Honour had directed the motion to stand over until to-day in order that some notice of the proceeding might be given to Mrs. Wilson and Miss North, an order however being made for issuing the writ, subject to what might be said to-day. It appeared that Captain North, who lived with his family at Hastings, died intsstate in 1342, and that since his death his widow had become a Roman Catholic. Mrs. Wilson and her daughter, Miss North, also lived at Hastings, and the eldest daughter of Captain North, aged about ten years , was in their care. The nthcr children lived with their parents, but were fre quentiy ut Mrs. Wilson's. The learned counsel contended, that es thcir father had given no directions Ly will for their education, there was no reason why they should not be and r the protection of their mother, and be brought up as Raman Catholics. Their mother was their proper and natural guardian, none having been appointed by will. The learned counsel cited various easel in support of his argu- ment. His Honour asked where the children now were I—Mr. Lovatt (who appeared for Mrs. Wilson and Miss North): The eldest is. with Dr. Rigby, in Spring-gardens. The three others with alio North, at the house of her brother, Mr. Frederick North, at ltougham, in Norfolk. Honour thought that the children had better be brought up as soon as possible, but it appeared that three wt re at some distance. In the meantime, it might be a question whether the eldest should remain at Dr. Rigby's. Was Dr. Rigby a married 'ran ?—(Dr. Rigby was a widower.) —His Rancor thought that it would be desirable to place her with Lord and Lady Walde,trave, aho appeared to be connexions of the family, Lady Walde grave being sister of Mrs. Wilson.--A me: sage having been conveyed to Lord and Lady Waldegrave, at the Vice-Chan cellor a suggestion, and the answer being that they would be glad to receive the child, his Honour made an order that talc should be received by them till Monday morning, with liberty to Mrs. North, her mother, to see her in the pre sence of Lord and Lady Waldegrave for one hour, provided that no conversation on spiritual subjects was introduced; , Mrs. North giving previous notice of her intention to visit the child. His Honour then adjourned the hearing of the motion until Monday next, at ten o'clock. Mrs. North attended the court in company with a Catholic priest. BLAKER V. MARINER.--CODICIL MADE UNDER SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCri.—RIGIITS Or HEIR-AT-LAW.—PItACTICE. —Saw:o or Ex rENSF: TO Srlrotts.—This was a bill for the appointment of new trustee', the trustees under the will having disclaimed, and having refused to act in the trust of the property, which consisted of land. Mr. Bagshawe, for the heir, observed that the will, and a codicil to the will, appeared to have been executed on the same day, and by the codicil the heir-at-law had been disinherited. Ile thought it an extraordinary circumstance. Honour : The heir can have an issue devisavit vel non, if he pleases.—Mr. Bagshawe hesitated on the ground of expense.—Mr. Eddis, for the plaintiffs, asked for an imme diate decree. Ills Honour said it must Le first ascertained whether all proper parties were before the court. The persons benefi ciaLy interested, consisted of a class namely the children of certain persons. Mr. Eddie said that the property was so small that ho hoped the court would dispense with such an in icy. His Honour said that if the learned counsel would present a petition supported by affidavits, praying the same relief as was asked by the bill, he would make the decree without directing a class inquiry before the master. In the mean time Mr. Bagshawe's client alight consider whether he would take an Issue devisavit vel non. Wort riee-Claineellor WigraTE. ATTORNT.Y-GENERAL T. LUCAS.—MAILItIAOP , IN FRAUD OF TILE MARRIAGE ACT (4 OEO. IV., C. 76).—SETTLEMENT OF TILE L SDY'S FORTI , NE.—TLC defendant, Philip Bennett Lucas, baring married Elizabeth Joanna Jago in fraud of the Marriage Act (1 Geo. IV., c. 76), by swearing falsely that he had obtained the consent of the lady's father to the marriage, an information was filed by the Attorney-General under the 23rd section of that act, to have it declared that P. B. Lucas had forfeited all interest in the present and future property of his wife, and to have the same properly settled. At the hearing, such forfeiture was declared, and it was referred to the Master to ascertain the property, and to approve of a proper settlement. The Meter had approved of a settlement whereby the property was settled exclusively upon the wife and the children of the present marriage. Certain clauses, however, having been inserted in the set tlement, by means of which the husband and wife were enebl.:(l, in coital° to defeat the right of the issue to a portion of the settled property, exceptions were taken to the report. Upon the hearing of the exceptions on Wednes day last, Mr. Hominy and Mr. Bilton, in support of the exceptions, suggested that the settlement should provide for the issue of any future marriage of the wife. - Mr. Tinuey and Mr. Ileathfield appeared for the defendant. His Honour, who had reserved his opinion upon the case, now stated that the matter should be referred hack to the Master to inquire into the particulars of the lady's property. He observed alio that the act, as it required the settlement to be made "for the benefit of the issue of the marriage, or of any of them," didnot authorise him in terms to order a settlement in feeour of the children of a future marriage. He thought, however, in the present ease, that such children might be provided for on the ground that ueh provision would be a mode of settling the property for the benefit of the wife. The Master should also be directed to have regard in settling the property in question to the form usually the court in settling the property of its wards. adopted by COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCll.—Grunit SITTINO, ♦T Nt<i PlLlVA.—Before Lord Donnan mul common jtle.CA. Tha court was occupied far the whole day with two casts which turned altogether on circumstances peculiar to them selves, and were not of public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-GVILDITALL. Nl;;E;L;T—icibr;:iirTijisirce Cresswell and a special Jury. HALL V. GURNEY.—THE CHINFAE Serjt. Bylee, Mr. Serjt. Dowling, and Mr. Henderson for the plaintiff; Mr. Serjt. Channel' and Mr. Peacock for the de fendant; the Solicitor-General on behalf of the crown. This was an action brought by Messrs. Hall, Custom-house agents, against Mr. Samuel Gurney, jun., as the executor of the late Mr. Nathan Dunn, proprietor of the Chinese Exhibition, to recover a sum of money alleged to be due to the plaintiff from the estate of the deceased. The plaintiff's claim con sisted of 52/. for his services as a Custom-house agent in clearing the articles of the exhibition on their arrival at the Custom-house ; 500/. for the " risk" incurred by the plaintiff in entering into a bond to the Treasury ; 62/. for paying newspaper reporters; 31. for petitioning the Treasury to per mit the intxoductiou of the exhibition, and a few other items of a small amount. It appeared that the Lords of the Trea sury consented to permit the introduction of this valuable and curious collection for a period of six months, upon re ceiving a bond to the amount of 20,0001. Mr. Hall and Mr. Dunn entered into this bond, which was renewed from tima to time, and upon each renewal the plaintiff claimed a commission of 100/. The ground upon which the plaintiff made his demand of 621. for paying reporters was, that Mr. Dunn, being the defendant in an action of " Thomas v. Dunn," was desirous of obtaining a good report in the Times newspaper, and that he expressed his willing ness to give any sum fur that purpose. A. gentleman named Roper mentioned the circumstance to the editor of the Times, and told him Mr. Dunn's inclination upon the subject. The editor, it was stated, replied, " Go and report the case your self:" and accordingly Mr. Roper wrote a full account of the proceedings and published them in the Times newspaper. For his services in this respect he received from Mr. Hall, on behalf of Mr. Dunn, 511., which, together with a suns of 111. paid to Mr. Roper for obtaining information respecting Mr. Thomas, the plaintiff in the action, amounted to 621. Evidence upon these latter points was given by Mr. Roper, who stated that he was authorised to furnish the report in question ; that Mr. Dunn complimented him upon its rue racy, and that he received the sum mentioned from Mr. Hall. On the part of the defendant evidence was given to show that the cause of action arose in the year 1311, that Mr. Dunn died in 1844, and that no demand had been made by the plaintiff until after his death. It was contended, more over, that between the years 1311 and 1314, accounts Lad been tendered by Mr. Hall to Mr. Dunn, but that no mention whatever had ever been made of the matters consti tuting the present claim. It was also urged that the services of the plaintiff were rendered gratuitously ; he and Mr. Dunn having been fur a long time upon terms of intimacy. In proof of this argument a letter was produced, in which it appeared that Mr. Dunn had expressed his thanks to Mr. Hall "for his kindness and attention." In reference to the claim of 62/. alleged to have been paid to Mr. Roper, the learned counsel observed, that it was somewhat remarkable that the dates of the cheques received by that gentleman were prior to the time when the trial of " Thomas v. Dunn " took place. Mr. Justice Cresswcll, in summing up the case, said that with respect to the claim fur the plaintiff's " risk " iu enter ing into the treasury bond, there was no evidence of custom or usage to justify such a demand in the absence of any con tract expressed or implied. The jury retired for about half an hour, and returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001., which rim was reduced to 90/. is., on the ground that three sepa rate items of ss. each had u'reaely been paid. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. litu Plum—Before Sir F. Pollock, C. 8., and London Spre:,ll BARNARD T. CULLS.—THE RAINBOW TAVERN.—The Attorney-General, Mr. Maitland, and Mr. Cleaaby, were counsel - for the plaintiff.—Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Bramwell, for the defendant. It was an action for the recovery of 457/. for wine supplied to the long es tablished tavern, known as the " Rainbow," in Fleet street. The only question at issue was whether the wine had been supplied upon the credit of the defendant, or upon that of one Argent, who had been a waiter in the establish ment. It appeared that in July, 1836, the defendant and Argeut entered iato articles of agreement, by which the latter was to have the house, with the excep tion of one bed room, and the business, in con sideratien, amongst other things, that he should pay 501. a year for the use of the furniture, and 10/. a week so tong as the business should be carried on by him. The defendant's name was to ho retained ever the door, and in the licenses. Argent entered into possession, and for sir years paid the sums he had undertaken to pay to the de fendant. In 1541 he became bankrupt, failing for a lame amount, in addition to his loss of 3,0001., the amount of hia capital when he had first undertaken the business. Ile then resumed his position of waiter, and the defendant t stained posession of the tavern, &c., including 172 dozen of port wine supplied to Argent by the plaintiff in the n.onth of June ' 1844, which was prior to the bankruptcy. These were the facts upon which the present action was brought. It was contended, for the plaintiff, that the articles t.f agree. ment between the defendant and Argent *ere en tered into merely for the purpose of enaleing the former to evade his liability for the debts of the esta blishment, of which he continued virtually the owner. On the other hand, it was suggested that Argent was alone liable for all debts contracted while the tavern was under his management, and that the defendant bad nothing what ever to do with them. The Lord Chief Baron told the jury if they be' ieved the agreement was a sham one, they should find for the plaintiff. It undoubteilly uppcared to be an arrangement bet oreen the parties calculated to defraud the revenue; but "hether it was void or not, in a mercantile point of view, was ~ question to be determined solely by the jury. After deliberating upon the case about twenty minutes, a verdict was returned for the Oaintiff, with 4-171. d 'nage& LEWIS V. AILUSTUONO.—FROVISIOISAI. COMM. FTEES OF Raftwaye.—The Attorney-General, with Mr. H. Hill, conducted the plaintiff's case. Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Pearson, appeared for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an advertising ages t, against the defendant, who is one of the mag Armes of Middlesex, to recover the amount of the plaintiff's demand against the Middlesex and Surrey Junction Railway Company for advertisements of tint project, inserted in various newspapers. It appeared that in the month of October, 1813, a prospectus of the uncles taking was sont to the defendant, and certain conversations took place between him and the Messrs. GaLaworthy and Co , solicitors, who were the promoters of the line, the result be iag that he consented to become a member of the provisional somraittee. He made his appearance once or twice at the nice of the company in Gresham-street, and complained that lie was nut placed on the committee of management. This complaint was remedied by his name having been place 1 upon the managing committee, as a member of which he had attended. However, when the panic occurred, he objected to tiske any' further part in the proceedings, and withdrew from thous altogether. As his reasons for adopting this course, he alleoed that he had joined it upon the understanding that he shoUld not be held responsible for the costs which might La I incurred, and that he had never authorised, tw meant to authorise, any one to contract upon his account, c r pledge his , credit for any of the expenses of the undertakiag. 1 The Lord Cider Baron told the jury that there was no evidence of the defendant's liability, as it did not appear he hod expressly authorised Mr. Galaworthy, who h.tcl given the order, to pledge his (the defendant's) credit. The question determined by the Court of Exchequer, in the cases of " Reynell v. Lewis," and " Wyld v. Hopkins," was that provisional committees were not partnerships, a al that such I bodies were not so constituted as to entitle one or more of its members to pledge the credit of the others. In fact, that a member of a proeisional committee could not be m ide ea swerable for debts contracted by the body gcneral:y, or by its agents, except such member lad by his own acts avowed his responsibility, or had given special authority to pledge his credit. Ech of these railway cases should therefore entirely dept Id upon its own individual circumst toms, but before any member of a pros isional committee could he held liable far the contracts of the body, it must be proved that he had authorised his name to be used as a person approving of such contracts, and reely to ho responsible for any demands iu respect of them. In the present case there was no evidence of the fact stated by the learned counsel for the plaintiff, that tl..t defendant had consented in writing to become a member of the pre vi,innal committee, neither was there any proof that he had signed the u.ual consent. On the contrary, it appeared he had objected to do so. The order was given by the soliciter to the company, and he had not been called, althe ugh he could of course prove by whose authority he had given the plaintiff the order to have the advertisementa iu question published. Under all the circumstancea, the learned judge wax of opi nion that there was no evidence to show the defendant bad ever authorised his name to be used as a person responsible for the debts and expenses of the company, and in the ab sence of a specific authority to pledge his credit, there being no evidence to show that he had sanctioned or identified himself with the acts of the committee, the jury s'iould return a verdict for the defendant. The jury having found their verdict accortlin,ly, The Attorney-General tendered a bill of exemptions upon the ground that his lordship had misdirected the jury, as there was sufficient evidence of the defendant's liability. The Lord Chief Baron said he was v.: ry hopes , the ques tion should be raised by taking a bill of excep'ions to his summing up. It would in all probability be tl.e most con venient course for the parties, and with n view to a proper understanding as to the extent of the liability of members of pros isionel committee.. For his (Sir F. Pollock's) own part, he differed from some of his predecessors on the bench, and never entertained the slightest unpleasantness that any counsel should tender a bill of exceptions whenever he felt it his duty to do so. The verdict was then entered for the defendant. - - r. BEANSL—Sir,—The statement contained 1 in the report of this ease in your Journal of to-day (u nice in other respects to very accurate., that Mr. Cock burn, the defendant's leading caiumel, first applied to postpone the trial of the cause " on the ground that a material m Mum for the defence was in n abeen',. in net correct, ant if unexplained is calculated to do my heat (the de. fendant "an injuatice. There was no anplicition of the land made by Mr. Cockburn, nor was there any occasion for it. We were quite pre. pared to go into the case, and should have called, in r.'Alition to the witnesses whose affidavits were wed on the motion f.r a new trial, several petsons whose testimony would have been mater al for the de fendant, and whose evidence the Lord Chief Baron had :lot seen, and knew nothing whatever abort, and, had they been clll,l, a very dif ferent complexion would have been given to the car. Tl:e application to postpone the trial was solely in consequence of the extra-juilicial observations made by his lorti:hip tel Thurstity evening in the pre sence of the jury, that they somait to have the ease tried by another jury.

IN RE KIMPTOKE.—REFU:iAL Or CERTIFICATE.—Thia bankrupt, who has had ne. less than seven diffe rent places of abode, described as a mattress-maker, came up fur his cer tificate. Mr. Duncan supported the bankrupt, and Mr. Lloyd, so licitor, opposed, on the grounds of reckless trading ; that the expenses exceeded the profits ; that there was no cash-book ; that he had contracted debts while in a state of i isolveney ; and that he had improperly disposed of his pro/ erty. His debts amount to 5791., and the assets 521. ; the expenses, 8751., and the profits 4481. The bankrupt had been in trade 20 years, and has taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act upon two former occasions, on one of which he was remanded fur 18 months.—His Hanour refused the certificate. IN RE W. TROWIUDGE.— Tut WOOLLEN TRADE.— I This bankrupt was a woollen-factor in Lawrence lane, and this day was fixed for the last examination. The 4ebts were stated to be about 1,5001., the asset. about 1501. The trading ran over a period of only twelve months. An adjournment of the case was granted on account of the bankrupt's ill- MOS. IN RE W. 11. CON. —AN UNDER VALrATION. This WAS a dividend meeting. The bankrupt was a bar,:e-builder. A great number of proofs were tendered in the co tree of the inquiry, principally on bills, nearly all of which Mr. Rixon objected to, on the ground of want of notice of dishonour ; abo, of notice of bills due since the fiat, having been given to the bankrupt instead of the assignees. A question arose in the course of the examination as to the amount of a valuation of the bankrupt's property by a bro ker named Booth, which he valued at 7251., but which was subsequently valued and sold at 1,972/. ; and the case was adjourned for further inquiry. THE EXPRESS MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 21, 1846 he wr.s, and chatted to him. Mr. Richardson the foreman to Mr. Lawton, pawnbroker, Green-street, Leicester-squnre, deposed, on the 7th of January, 1815, the very day he obtained this partion of the property in question from the prosecutor, the prisoner called at Mr. Lawton'', shop, and offered two brooches as security for a sum of 2001. Witness offered 1501. The prisoner refused to take the amount, but said he would have 75/. on one of the brooches, and make that sum do fur the present. Witness paid the money, de ducting 3s. Bd. fur the agreement. The prisoner received the me morandum, end a card of the transaction . Witness ques tioned the prisoner about the property. The prisoner (Iceland he had purchased the diamonds abroad, and had manufactured them into brooches in England. Ott the 9th of January the prisoner called again, and offered the other brooch. Witness advanced 80!., and deducted 4s. for the agreement. The prisoner signed the book, and received the usual card. On the 16th of January the prisoner called earth', and had 25!. advanced on a brilliant ring. On the 20th of January he came again, and had a similar sum ed. vanced on another brilliant ring. Witness questioned the prisoner agnin very closely as to the property. The pri soner again poeitively asserted that all the property Ile had pledged was his own. The prisoner said he bad lately come into some property : and in a very short time he should be able to redeem the Jewellery. Wit ness saw nothing more of the prisoner until after his appre hension. An application for the return of the property was made in 1845 to Mr. Lawton by Mr. Linnit. About August 1845, witness, at Mr. Lawton's request, delivered all the property to Mr. Attenkorough. The interest to be charged to the prisoner was at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum. Mr. Lnng fully committed the soner. I LANILIETII.—IM R pri ORIMUY.— William Abbott, a person who has till lately carried on an extensive baldness as a boot and shoemaker, and Ann Alexander, a common prostitute and notorious thief, were placed at the bee h. fore the Hon. G. C. Nertun, on a charge of robbing Mr. John Charnock of a direr watch and appendages. On the night of Wednesday weds, the Prosecutor, on his way home, was accosted in high-street, ewinatin, by the female prisoner, who asked him to treat her. Mr. Charnock, slid he had ant no money, and she snatched the watch from his pocket. Ile challenged her with the robbery, and was soon surrounded by two men and another woman, one of ahem knocked his hat over his eyes. lie, however, held the female prisoner fast, until a constable came up, to whom he gave her into custody. Abbott, two days utter the robbery, had sent a man named Iluat, to pledge the stolen watch and appendages.--Alex ander, in her defence, denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said she had been passing accidentally, when the prow cuter seized her, and charged her with taking his watclt.— Abbott said he had purchased it from a Jew on the day b More ter 31.—Beth were fully coamittrd fur trial, but Abbott was admittd to hail. MOY.RY MIIRKE7I SAMMAT EVENING. The funds were without variation from yesterday at the opening of the market, rather heavy however, but on the arrival of the French mail some time alter the com mencement of Lu-iness, bringing prices lower from Paris, followed by sales of Tnrce-and-a-Quarter per Cents., prices were not maintained. Consuls declined to 933 tog for the opening. Three-and-a-Quarter pc r Cents. to 931 to 1. Some rather considerable sales have been made during the last few days, it is stated, in Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stock by parties usually acting for public bodies. Reduced Threes, 931 to 4. Bank Stock, 2n61 to 71. Long Annuities, 9 13-1 G to Exchequer Bills have fallen to 10s. to 124. premium. The indisposition to active operations in foreign stocks of any extent continues to prevail. Although the prices of some of these securities are made to rise, even from clay to day, and are secularly quoted at advanced rates, the facts which, if they were the results naturally sprineing from suf ficient causes, should attract speculation among dealers, if not investment on the part of the public, appear to act in the adverse sense in both respects. Spanish and Portuguese may both be reported with quotations in advance upon those of yesterday, which were also better than those of the day before, without the continuous improvement being followed with active, or almost any, business in either case. Spanish Fives are now called 263 to ; the Thre,s, 37' to ,i. l'ortu guese, 37 to 8. Mexican, 231 to 4. Venezuela, 391 to 401. Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., GO to 3 ; the Fours, 921 to 1. A report was in circulation on 'Change to-day of the stoppage or embarrassments of a mercantile house of some standing in the city, understood to have mainly reeulted from extensive but unfortunate railway speculations. The Bank of England averages for the week ending the 12th instant give, as compared with those of the week preced ing, the following results : Circulation—lathe £28,410,733 Meal-Won —Active 19,783,920 Public deposits ....... 9,183,471 Other deposits Government eccurlticsin Banking Department.. 12,807,417 Otht r securities 13,879,960 Coin and bullion day and other bills ... 883 , 995 The Rest 3,437,378 The feature in the present returns IS the rather consider able increase of coin and bullion at a time when, to some exteut, an outflow for exportation had commenced. The increase would most probably result from purchases made by the issue department of a corresponding proportion of metallic values held under lock for merchants' account, separately of course from the Bank reserves. The increase, minus 9,0101 in the banking, was altogether in the issue de partment, and represented the balance between 31,5411. of silver withdrawn, and 173,1711. of gold bought in. If the additional quantity of gold had arisen from the excess et internal circulation returned upon the Bank, it should have figured perhaps in tha stock of the banking department in a certain degree, if not to the corresponding amount, against securities retired, or matured. The decrease of private, or " other " deposits would seem to forbid the supposition that it could have entered the Bank in that direction. The accru ing reserve of note. in the banking department, then accu mulated to 8,623,815 k, serves to denote the absence of pres sure for accommodation on such classes of securities as the bank would admit for discount, or is in the habit of ad vancing upon. The next returns, embracing the week now closed, will show how far advances may have been required to the dote, of the shutting of Consols and other stocks. There has been u controversy for sonic days past in the papers about the uses and abuses of crossed cheques. Certain parties complain that the Bank of England has infringed a com mon custom in paying a cheque presented by one banker which was specially crossed with the name of another. With re spect to the " custom " assumed, that question has been de cisively di. posed of by a correspondent signing " 111." in our last publication. There is no such absolute custom. It may, and it does, happen in some very few isolated cases, but these are the exceptions to the general rule. The Bank, however, is not quite blameless in the matter. Some four or five years since it promulgated certain regulations for the government of its own practice, and with a view, doubt less, to adoption in general banking business. One of these, was, we believe, that no cheque which had Leen cut in halves, though wafercd or pasted to gether subsequently for presentation, would be paid at the Bank. This regulation had reference, of course, to the growing practice of drawing and remitting cheques from a (listener by post, headed and dated as they must be from London, and as documents, therefore, for paying upon ques tionable or illegal. Another regulation was that the Bank would honour no cheques, except to the banker's name first crossed upon it. This rule of the Bank caused much dissatis faction in banking circles at the time, and neither then, nor since, has it been adopted as a standard of usage, except by cue or more westend banks. Finding this, the Bank, after a time, found it convenient silently to drop the rule in its owe business. Blame therefore attaches to the directors of the establishment for not having given public r otice that the order was rescinded, so that no misapprehension could prevail in any quarter. It may be doubted whether, legally, cheque., however crossed, could be refused payment by whomsoever presented, as they are made payable to bearer. However convenient as a male of checking payments, or as a sort of receipts, not law fully recognisable after all, except in the shape of collateral evidence, the system of erossieg and re-crossing herders so closely upon endorsements as to bring it very nearly., if not quite, within the category of bills of exchange. The crossing system, in fact, is made use of to a vast extent for the purpose of putting off payments in cash for one day. Thus, on a settlement of account day at the Stock Exchange, three-fourths of the business at lenst ore liquidated by crossed cheques, which arc squared off against each other, so far as private bankers, at the clear ing house. But if, next day, A shall be Et defaulter, the cheques of B, C, and D, with whom have been his chief deahnge, find no corresponding funds to answer them, along with other claims, at their payment depended on the funds to be procured from dishonoured cheques A. Thus the pas sage of elopes is no criterion of a balance of stock accounts, and the broker or jobber cannot know until the next day how the liquidation may have left him circumstanced, although a large gainer upon balance of dealings. In a time of great fluctuations of prices and excitement many members of the house are thus condemned to sleepless hours betwixt pay-day and the day following, when cheques unhonoured are return able.

The second contract is nearly couiplatee, and my assistants are laying out the remaining portion of the line from Mill street, to Its junction with the Great Southern and Western Railway, near Mallow.

The works ow the remaining part of the line which has not yet been finally laid out, are very light, so that I have no doubt whatever, that tbe mire line can be completed, and opened for traffic, by the time that the Great Southern and Western is open toMalow, and within the poilLamentary estimate; and when the moderate cost of the construction of your line, and the very great passenger traffic that you will un doubtedly have, are talon into consideration, there can be no ques tion that the undertaking will be a highly , remunerative one to the shareholder."

We learn that the bargain between the directors of the North British line and Mr. Hudson has been finally concluded, and that on the guarantee of 8 per cent., with half profits, the North British is to pass under his manage ment. The transaction will, however, it may be assumed, have to be submitted for app roval to the proprietaries on both sides. The market was dull, if not depressed, oil Satur day. But North British, with Birmingham and Oxfords, were well supported and better in price. Caledonians, with Sbr \rebury and Birminghams, in decline. French shares came lower from Paris, and were worse Isere. The advice! from London being rather more favourable, there was a slightly improved feeling in the Liverpool market on Saturday, but the business done was limited, and we cannot notice any advance in prices except hi Bir mingham acid Oxford Junctions. There was not much business done in the 'lanehester market, but former rates were fully maintained. The transacticus were chiefly confined to low-priced stock but some Manchester and Birmingham whole shares changed hands at 75. The market at Birrnir.gliam wan languid, and but little business transacted. In prices no alteration. Stour Valleys were done at 21 pm., and Shrewsbury and Birmingham* at 21 pm. A private meeting of the directors of this company was held at Birmingham on Saturday , a nd (says our cor respondent) " I have good reason to believe it was thereat made knows that all negotiations and all arrangements be tween this company and the London and North Western are* at an end, and at the present time the former company stands quite independent of any other." This Exchange will he closed from the 24th till the Ist of January, for the Christmas holidays ; and it is probable that very little busi ness will be transacted in the intervening days of next week, the brokers being busily engaged in the very heavy settling for the Birmingham and Oxford Junction and Dudley lima, in these two the speculation here having been very considerable. At Leeds there was very little business done in the shares. market, but prices invariably remained firm. The lines that advanced were East Lancashire (new shares) from 31 to 31, and Leeds and Dewsbury! (half shares) from 51, to 51 prem. The Bristol market on Saturday was a shade less active. North Staffordshiris were rather lower than the previous day, and were done at 31. 16s. 31. to 31., at which latter quotation they closed. North British halves were at 16. Caledonian Halves, 22. Bristol and Gloutester, 491. These were the only variations from Friday's prices. At Hull, on Friday, the North British Stock receded slightly from the rates attained in the beginning of the week. At Dublin the market for railway sl.ares was inactive dur ing the week; the condition of the country is not such as to warrant much speculation.
