tended a Roman Catholic place of worship, in company with his lady, and two, at least, of his children. It is mid that Ills notions of religion were latitudinarian ; that circumstance may in some degree account for Ste fleet which I have just mentioned. He appears to have had no objection to his lady attending a lloman Catholic chapel, but on the contrary he offered togo with her After the absence of a few weeks, ho appears to have re turned in an ill state of health, to a place where there was So Roman Catholic chapel; and he died. having refused to relive the attendance of the rector of the paruih. It does n_e_deffear that any proposal was made to him, or that he ex any wish far the attendance of a Roman Catholic priest. illness and death appear to have taken place without the wish for the attendance of any clergyman. It is not alleged that he ever conferred with any priest of the Roman Catholic religion ; it is not alleged that his children ever conferred with any priest of that religion ; and it is not stig;ested, that this gentleman, whose religion was prates. tent, had ever professed a departure from the religion of his youth; but irons the facts that I have stated, it is inferred that a change of religious sentiments, or a conversion, was in progress. It is said that he was what Mrs. North describes as • catechumen ; but if so, that must have been without a teacher, for it is not suggested that he received any instruction preparatory to his becoming • Roman Catholic, though it is suggested that he would have done so if ho had lived. Upon the materials Wore me I must take it that he did not become a Rennin Catholic, but that either through curiosity, or latitudinarian principles, he attended some services of the Roman Catholic Church, without changing his religion. It is im possible to say what might be the conclusion of the court upon receiving further evidence. Upon the present evidence I must assume that, having been bred a Protestant, he continued a Protestant to the end of life. 'Upon the present evidence I must assume that, as he died intestate, so he never expressed a wish as to the religious education of his children—a remark which I make, subject to the qualification (if it is one) which may be supposed to arise from the facts which I have mentioned. What, then, is the duty of the court as to the religion of these children ? That it should view the subject of their religious edu cation with indifference is out of the question. That their religious education should depend upon the mere will and pleasure of the person or persons who may happen to be the guardian or guardians, especially where there is no testamentary guardian, seems equally out of the question. As it is the duty of this court to superintend the management of the property of infants, so more especially is it its duty to superintend their religious education, until years of discretion have arrived when they may think fit to choose their religion for themselves. I ap prehend the rule of the court to that where • father has not left any disectiun or instruction as to the religion in which hie children are to be educated, it is to be presumed that his wishes are that they should be educated in his reli gion. I ..fin ofopinion that upon the materials before me, and for the purpos.s of this petition, that is the pre sumption in this case. Unless this case should be varied by subsequent evidence, I think-it is the duty of this court to direct these children to be brought up as members of the Church of England. That, it may be said, does not dispose of the question of the interim custody, which may reasonably be entrusted to Mrs. North. Recollecting, however, that Mrs. North (of whom I do not wish to be considered as speak ing otherwise than with the most perfect respect) comes before the court under such circumstances, that it is impossible not to es that she is a recent convert, I cannot but fear, that pith the kindest and best motives on her part, the children may receive in her custody an inclination towards that religion in which it is the duty of the court to see that they should not be educated. I cannot, therefore, give her the interim cus tody of the infanta. His llcnour then said that the infants who were in Norfolk must be immediately removed under the habeas corpus ; and that the Muster must approve of proper guardians, and that in the mean time the children must be consigned to the custody of Miss North, and Mrs. Wilson, and for that purpose be removed to Hastings ; Mrs. North having liberty to visit them for two hours every day, in the pre sence of one of the above-named persons ; but no religious topics to be introduced into conversation. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.--Gctuntat.L. S C TTLIM‘ AT Nun flays—netere Lord Denmanand a special jury. birwrOre e. STEWART.—LIABILITY OP A MEMBER OP A PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OP A RAILWAY COMPANY FOR ADVERTISEMENTS OF THAT COMPANY.—Mr. Crowder, Q.C., and Mr. Bell appeared for the plaintiff in this case, who is an advertising agent, and sought to recover the sum of 2341. for advertisements inserted by him in several newspapers, of a projected railway company, called the Canterbury and Herne Bay Railway Company. For the plaintiff it was shown that the advertisements had been inserted by the order of the secretary, who stated that he had the authority of the directors to insert them; that the defendant's name had been inserted in the list of the provisional committee, and in a prospectus which was published on the 16tn of October, 1845, on the authority of a gentleman, named Bain ; that the defendant attended at the office of the company, on the 15th of November, signed the consent to act as a member of the committee, and the agreement to take shares, and stated positively, that he had authorised Mr. Bain to insert his name in the lists of provisional directors of various rail way companies, and that he approved of his having inserted it in that of the Canterbury and Herne Bay Railway Com pany ; that the defendant subs( quently attended a meeting at which an auditing committee was appointed, by which committee the accounts of the plaintiff were afterwards allowed ; that a list of the claims on the company was for warded is the defendant by the secretary, with a demand for his quota ; and that the defendant paid the quota so de manded. Mr. Keane, with whom was Mr. Fitzpatrick, objected to the formal proof that the advertisements had been inserted, and also to the admission of an unatamped consent to act as • member of the committee. Lord Denman took a note of the objections, and directed that the case should pro ceed. Mr. Keane then addressed thejury for the defendant and contended that u the cues of"Wylde v. Hopkins" and " Rey nell v. Lewis," showed that there was no partnership nor quasi partnership between the members of a provisional committee, they were only responsible in the event of their having pledged their credit in express terms, or having been made specially cognisant that the credit of the committee was about to be pledged in the particular instance, and not having tas sentell—ili view which had been entertained by the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and the Chief Baron of the Exchequer in two recent cases. He submitted, that if there had been an implied authority to pledge the defendant's cre dit for the purposes of the company before the 15th Nov., that authority did not extend to advertisements inserted sub sequently,because that would be during the panic; and to show that the liability of the defendant commenced on the 15th of November only, would call Mr. Bain, who would state that the defendant had not authorised him to insert his name in the committee lists of various railways, or any railway. If Mr. Bain should so depose, it would be for the jury to de termine whether the statement of the secretary was to be believed. Mr. Bain having been called, and having deposed to the effect above stated, Mr. Crowder replied. Lord Denman told the jury that this case had been put by the learned counsel on either side as depending on the statute 7 and 8 is , c. 110, which, ho must say, had introduced little, if any, novelty, into the law, and furnished but scanty means of guidance. By the provisions of that act, the promoters of a company were bound to register themselves as such. And having done so, wore entitled to do certain things specified in that act, and described these generally, as necessary for constitu ting the company. The first question, therefore, which the jury would have to consider would be, whether the inser tion of advertisements in the public newspapers was an act necessary for constituting the company. If it was not, of course the verdict must he for the defendant. But, assuming it to he necessary, then the question was, first, whether the de fendant had rendered himself liable at all, and secondly, from what time that liability was to be dated. If Bain could be taken as having a general authority from the defendent to put his name down as a provisional committeeman, then that lia bility must be dated from the 16th October, and would cover the whole of the plaintifFs demand. If Bain had no such gene ral authority, then the defendant's liability must be restricted to the period from which be had himsel f signed the list of provisional committeemen, and had begun personally to in terfere in the affars of the company. They would say whe ther they believed Mr. Bain or the secretary in respect of the authority to insert the defendant's name ; and on this head they would also consider whether the conduct of the defend ant did not raise a presumption that he had given to Mr. Bain a general authority wbinb Mr. Bain 'hid forgotten.— The jury retired for two hours, and on their return into court, put a question to the learned judge, which elicited an answer repeating the remarks in the preceding sentence, whereupon they gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Ourtnisatn. PlLlUK—Before the Lord Chief Justice Wilde and • Special Jury. You; lo e. QVINCEY.--THE CAMPHINE LAMP.—ALLEGED Imeiirsosmaxv OP THE PATENT.—Mr. Seleant Byles, Mr. Cowling, and Mr . Dowdeswell for the p l aintiff; Mr. Montague Chambers, Mr. Cleashy, and Mr. Webster for the defendant —This was an action brought by the patentee of the ramphine spirit lamp against the defendant, fur an alleged infringement of his patent. The date of the plaintiffs patent was May 28, 1842: and it appeared that on the 25th of March, 1844, the defendant obtained a patent for the invention of • lamp, which it was contended amounted substantially to an infringement. The plaintiff, by his specification, claimed the mode of applying wood or other non-conductor of heat between the flame and the reservoir containing the spirit, " as a means of preventing the con ducting down of heat into the spirit." Another portion of his claim was a new mode of raising the wicks by means of the outer moveable guard, so as to exhibit more or less of the ignited cotton as required. The lamp so constructed was called by the plaintiff the " Vesta," and that of the defendant the " Standard." The ground upon which itwas alleged that the invention claimed by the defendant was an infringement of the plaintiff's patent, was that the former had adopted the same medium of insulating the flame of the lamp, and keep ing the heat from travelling into the reservoir containing the spirit. The principle adopted by the defendant was an im provement upon the old argand burner, and his method of interposing • non-conductor between the flame and the spirit was by placing in the reservoir a glass tube which ascended more than half way up the metallic tube, with a stratum of air between, and tile material used for cement ing the one tube to the other was plaster of Paris. The plaintiff contended that his patent had been infringed by this mode of interposing a non-conductor, inasmuch as it was substantially the same process of insulating the flame. A great many scientific witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff, and amongst them Professor Brandt and Mr. Cooper, the former of whom stated that the principle of using a non-conductor was not new, but the particular method adopted by the plaintiff was new. Mr. Brandt, however, admitted that there was a difference between the plaintiff's invention and that claimed by the defendant, namely, that in the one use the object was to prevent the heat from travelling downwards into the spirit, and in the other to avoid the posdbility ..., '. ) , 1 ' i 1 'I I I , 1 , t i rir ii ,i t i o . ... 1, ~... 5 THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1846 of November last he went to the house, No. 180, Waterloo road, situate immediately under the Royal Infirmary for Children. He was accompanied by three other officers The building was enclosed by two large gates, one of which they found open. On their entrance, they saw a large stock of tubs and brewing utensils. A pair of doors enclosed an apartment in one of the dry arches of Waterloo-bridge, which he tried to open, but found them fastened. The defendant appeare d, w h en he was informed that they had got a war rant to search his premises for an i:licit still ; and he replied, that if there was one there it was unknown to him. He then took a key and opened the door,when the smell of distillation was very perceptible. They got a light, and found a still with a fire under it. Another still was in the same place. He pulled the bung out of the first still, and found it charged with old ale or beer. One of the stills contained forty gallons, and if kept in full work would yield spirits chargeable with duty to the amount of 12!. per week. Supposing the still to have been there not quite twelve months, the revenue had been de frauded to the amount of 5001. The defendant said he had let the place to a party, who had been there only twenty minutes before, whose name was Brown, but he did not know where he lived. Found " faints," or third running of spirits, in the still mom. They took samples, which were delivered to Mr. Phillips, the chemist, for anal cation. They also found a large quantity of old ale in different parts of the premises. They then proceeded to the dwelling house, and in the pantry were several glass bottles, which had been recently emptied of illicit spirits. The next apart ment searched was a store or lumber room up-stairs, where they found a large carboy containing illicit spirits, 40 over proof, which was of a similar description to that found in the still room. A stone bottle full of the same description of spirit was standing near the carboy. They then seized the stills, the spirits, and about 8000 gallons of old ale and beer. Ale or beer fermented will make spirits, and of a much better description than that produced from molasses.—The defendant said that he let the place to a man named Brown, and bad no interest in it whatever.—Mr. Com. Stephenson : You ought to show that by evidence, or your assertion goes for nothing.—Mr. Hayford said he kad bad great experience in seizing illicit stills, and he felt sure the stills in this case had been erected at least ten months. When they entered the dee ndant distinctly said he let the premises but a fort night ago. Mr. G. Phillips, analytical chemist to the Board of Ex cise, said be had received samples of ale and beer from the last witness. The " faints" produced a spirit equal to 60 over proof. It was his decided opinion that it had origi nally been produced from milt. —The defendant declined to cross-examine the witnesses, but said he must throw him self entirely upon the mercy of the court. Ho hoped that the stock of ale would be restored to him. Mr. Commissioner Ross said, on that point they had no discretion. The act of parliament was imperative, and re quired its condemnation. The judgment of the court was, that the defendant be fined in the penalty of 6001., and the whole of the seizure to be coi.demned. The defendant appeared quite astonished at the decision. The court then adjourned. clear the prisoner would nut /volt in the institution, the object of giving her into custody was more for her own protection, and with the view of her being passed to her native place— the city of Cork.—Mr. Elliott said that the most favourable and excellent opportunites had been afforded to the prisoner to do well and live comfortably, and he really could not see why he should compel any parish to go to the expense of passing such a person to Cork.—The Prisoner exclaimed, ~ Oh then God knows if I have done wrong in the sight of man, I have not done so in the sight of Ood."—Mr. Elliott told her that she had had excellent opportunities afforded her of getting on well, if she wished to avail herself of them ; and as she had thought proper not to do so he should then discharge her. The prisoner was then discharged ; but Mr. Elliott sent an officer with her to Newington workhouse. THE COURT Poott•nox.—Mr. Elliott yesterday received 101. from the Goldsmith's Company, and the remaining half of a 51. note from E. C., for the court poor box. SOUTHWARK.—John Neal and Sophia, his wife, were charged with having in their possession several glasses and spoons, supposed to be stolen; a quantity of pewter in a molten state, was a!so found upon them, the produce of pub licans' pots. A pa . liceman seeing the prisoners tho Borough that morning, and suspecting from their appear ems that they had stolen property in their possession, he stopped them, when he found on the male prisoner the lid of an old saucepan, full of malten pewter, such as is used in the manufactu: e ut publicans' pots, and which is also used in making counterfeit money. On the female he found two cut ale glasses, a gin glass, and a half-pint plain ale glass, the names on which had been ground out. He then took them into custody. The prisoners gave a most unsatisfactory ac count of their possession of the above articles. In the course of the inquiry it turned out that the male prisoner was a hard-working . , industrious man, but his wife was given to habits of intoxication, and it was strongly suspected she had stolen the articles from different public-houses. The prisoners were then ordered to be remanded for further inquiries. THAMES.—THE DISTRESSED POLISH NOBLZMAN d — Lieutenant Charles Taulesewski, resident secretary to the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, presented himself before Mr. Yardley, and described a person who called himself the Count de Jai Dembicki, and said he was cousin to the late King of Poland, and who bad made an application to the court on Monday, as an impostor. The man bad been several times imprisoned for frauds of a similar kind, and had been banished from France. The ap plicant handed in a printed paper, being a report of what took place at the Marlborough-street police-court, dated March 7th, ISIS, from which it appeared that the count and his countess had been brought before Mr. Hardwicke charged with carrying about begging letters ; and, after a lengthened inquiry, the count was sentenced by Mr. Hardwicke to a month's imprisonment. After some further remarks, the applicant withdrew. HANI MERSMITII. Poutcn INTERFERENCE. —Mr. Clive, the sitting magistrate, after a long iuvestigation, fined a police-serjeant 10/., for having improperly inter fered with Major J. Bartleman, and stopped him from removing some furniture. MONEY MARKET. TUESDAY EVININO.. The funds have been steady all day, with scarcely the variation of a noticeable per centage.

Russian 110 to 12. Dotal. Two-and -a-Half per Cents 601 to 1 ; the Fours, 924 tt 3. Belgian Four per Cents., 951 to 4. A notice was posted in the Stock Exchange from Messrs. Schneider and Co.. the agents for the Mextean conversion, announcing that 44.5 bonds had been presented to them for conversion of the total amount of 97,5001., which they had rdused to admit, because they formed part of the surplus bonds remaining after the former conversion of 1837, and as such "ought not to have been issued." The numbers of the bonds thus excluded run from 10,101 to 10,200 letter A, of 1001. each ; letter B, 4,801 to 4,900 of 1501. each ; letter C, 4,601 to 4,700, and 4,801 to 4,900, of 2001. each; letter 11, 4,901 to 4,945, of 5001. each. Foreign exchange was negotiated at higher rates to-day on the leading continental money markets. On Amsterdam they ruled from 12.21 to 12.51 ; on Rotterdam, 12.3 to 4 ; on Antwerp, 25.75 to SO ; on Hamburg, 13.91 to 10 ; on Frankfurt, 1204 to ; l'aris, 25.72 ;4 to 77i on Madriii, 351, all at three months, and in advance ; on Lisbon at sixty days at 54, also a shade higher; on Vienna, three months, at 10.3 to 4, rather lower. The arrival of Baron James Rothschild of Paris, last from Brussels, has given rise to various reports as to the object of his journey, which people seem resolved to attribute to other motives than the more ready and intelligible construction of a friendly visit among near relatives and connexions. The report in Brussels was, on his arrival there, that he was charged with a minion to King Leopold, to procure his me diation for the reconcilement of differences, and the restora tion of the entente cordiale between the French and British governments. The apparent absurdity of such a report has been succeeded here by one more plausible at least, because more in keeping with the Baron's pursuits, and with a certain financial uneasiness prevailing in the Paris money market. The report in question will have it that the Baron comes deputed from the Bank of France, to negotiate the same kind of loan and financial combination for assisting that bank to replenish its treasury with specie and bullion, or to favour its payments in other parts abroad so as to prevent a further drain of hard money from home, as in similar circumstances heretofore of a drain of metallic values was dispensed by that institution to the Bank of England. It may be well to add to the notice of the capabilities of Maryland for fulfilling her obligations of debt, which ap peared under this head in the Express of yesterday, that the revenues of the state, according to the committee of ways and means, would be equivalent in the present year to 927,456 dole. lts liabilities for the year were—interest on the public debt 631,521 Ordinary expenses of government 198,633 850,04 Leaving a clear surplus of 76,982 dollars. To produce this favourable result it is only fair to Maryland to say that the legislature has laid on, for America, heavy I taxes, and that the people have borne them willingly. The State is burdened besides with unproductive stock in the, Chesapeake and Ohio canal, embarked in, like so many other American enterprises, in times of excitement, unbounded credit and great apparent prosperity, to the extent of 7,163,700 of capital, upon which the arrears of interest arc 2,160,000 dollars more. Maryland, it will be seen, there fore, has had her troubles and losses. But it will be some consolation to her creditors to know that she is fast approach ing the period of being able to satisfy all demands upon her, according to the statements now received. It is not less satisfactory to learn that Mr. J. J. Speed, the eminent lawyer before referred to, and one of the first men of the State, thus expresses himself on the subject: "I affirm that there is not now left an election district inMaryland, where en advocate of repudiation could get a dozen intelligent votes for the smallest office in the gift of the people." The sinking-fund of the state had accumulated on the Ist of December, 1845, to 1,411,011 dollars, and ought to be still on the Increase. About the arrearsof tercst Mr. Speed, with high and honourable principles of integrity, thus expresses himself : "About the early removal of the principal of the debt, by the growth of the sinking fund, the public need have no apprehension. It now 'amounts to more than one-sixth of the whole debt, and will soon absorb it when the accumulation of interest is checked. It is my opinion, that all propositions to fund the back interest in stocks of less than 6 per cent arc fraudulent." ENGLISII FUND& 3 per Ct. Red.

Yesterday the chief point of business in the share market continued to be in Birmingham and Oxfords Birmingham and Shrewsbury% were also freely dealt in. The market was steady generally without much activity of business. At Liverpool there was rather an improved feeling in Manchester and Leeds, and Sheffield and Manchester stocks Birmingham and Oxford were also strong at 91 pm., and North Staffordshire were not to be had under 31 pm. Still the business of the day was not large, though there was a little more disposition on the part of the public to purchase. There was a healthy feeling in the Manchester market, and a fair business in comparison with late markets. The only new feature worth naming, was the rise of Birmingham and Oxfords to 91 1 ; the prices of other stock remained pretty firm at last quotations. A better business was doing at Birmingham, and prices were decidedly firmer and higher. Birmingham and Oxford Junctions were done as high as 91 p., and at the close of the business there were no sellers even at this rate. There were sales in the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley, at 61 p. ; Stour Valley, at 21 p. ; Boston, Stamford, and Bir mingham, at 1 p. ; Shrew-bury and Birmingham, 41s. 3d. p. for cash ; West Riding Union, 11 p. ; and Ambergates, at die. In the old stocks, North British Thirds were done at 21 p. At Leeds, in the share market, the improvement noticed on Monday still continued with prices continuing firm, and a slight tendency to advance. The market at Bristol was more brisk, and there was a fair amount of business done. Bristol and Exeter New Shares were rather lower and closed at 61 ; Caledonian New, 21 ; Manchester and Leeds Extension, 11.

MEET INGS. --W ear CORNWALL. — Generat Meeting. Dec' 22—L. Visors,: Esq., in the chair. After a few prefatory re marks from the Chairman, explanatory of the origin and objects of the scheme, the secretary read the directors' report, by which it appeared that as Act of Parliament was obtained in the last session, after a contest of two years, for constructing this line from Truro to Penzance —the concern having purchased the Ilayle railroad, an old construc tion, for 80,0001., in paid-up shares of this company. The Carnwall and Devon company, that had been their opponents in Parliament, was now merged in the South Western company, which was to tenni nate at Truro, and therejoin the present company's line which thence to PeDialler was repented to be so remunerative as to pay at least 10 per cent. finites adroit?... It was also iuteuded to construct a branch to fns - for wit oh an app ditatiall would be made for powers in the ape proiwhing session, as well as to construct a wh irf at the harbour of fink. Than umber of shares issued was 20,000, of which 4,000 were given as the purchase of the Mule line, there remaining Mill to be allotted, as may hereafter be deemed most advisab l e ,s, o o o shares. The amount received on deposits was 32,0001., of which 29 0001. had already been paid away in expenses, and it was believed that out; standing liabilities would call for the trinainder, the met oft o rears contest being very heavy. Mr. Brunel had been appol the en gineer to the company, and he expected to commence the contracts for the works in about a month, being at liberty to make use of any portions of the Itsyle Railroad that might advantageously fall in with Ida plan. The accounts not being as let all had in, th ac e directors would not be able to lay a regular belanced count before the shareholders until the h a lf-yearly meeting, In February next, but they could snare the shareholders that every economy had been ex ercised in their past promedingenext They did not anticipate any opposition :tom any quarter in the ..ardon ; but still it would be necessary for the present meeting to glee the director s the power of contending with eny should it arise, aml it was also necessary that the meeting ehould confirm the pur ehsse of the H W yly line. When the works ehould be commenced, a call of about 21. a share would be indispensable, but 4 per cent. Interest would be allowed upon delimits and all calls, and 5 per cent. on all advances in anticipation of calls. The report. having been unani mously agreed to, was erdered to he printed and circuated arnonest the subecriber.; after which, several questions were put to the chair man. Those having been satisfactorily answered, a series of et eolu lions were agreed to, re-appninting the torment directors, and appoint. ing two auditors, with certain term , as to their respective remunera tions for the year, fling the nature of the secretary, and granting to the directors , full power to go to parliament tor thie St. Ives hratwh, to contest with all opposltMa, and confirming the purchase of the Ilavle line. BOLTON, STAMFORD AND BIRMINGHAM (STAMFORD AND WISUEACII Batsen).—General Meeting.—Mr. 22.—Thus. Macaulay, Esq., in the chair. The report was read. The principal feature in it was the agreement with the Great Northern Ceamany, by the terms of which that company guaranteed to the Bolton, Stamford and Bir mingham Company,"6 per cent. on the existing capital of the line in perpetuity, such interest commencing from the opening of the line, or from the first of July, 1848, whether the line was completed by that period or not; 5 per cent. in the meantime to be allowed on all calls when paid up. The Great Northern Company were to have the option of purchasing the entire interest of the line at any period they might think fit after it was opened, at 50 per cent. On the other hand, the sh.ireholdern in the line were to have the option of ex changing their shares, et any period within two years of the opening of the entire line be , ween London and York, for the shares at par of the Great Northern Company. Shareholders to have the option of paying up the whole or any part of their calls in advance of 5 per cent." The report was adopted, and a resolution upproving of the agreement was passed. The Instance sheet showed an expenditure of 31,0611. (not including an outstanding amount of 7001). a great por tion of which was incurred in serving notices fur the whole line of 90 miles, as originally projected by the company. The balance in the hands of the company was 6,4181. Twelve directors, in the pro portion of two bone in favour of the Great NorthernCompanyorith an allowance of 1,0001. a year, were appointed. The auditors, secretary, and a sounding director, were also appolatel—ln reply to Mr. Craddock, it wan stated that the length of the line was 22 mile., and the_iirliamentary traffic was proved to be from 8 to 10 per cent. WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH SPECIAL MEET mo, Dir. 22.—Sir John Audrey in the chair. The object sf the meet ing was to consider the expediency of selling or leasing the new works authorised by the act of last Iteration to the Great Western; of applying during the ensuing session for acts to construct certain devia tions and branches; and of leasing and veiling these, if obtained, to the Great Western. The chair ' In consequence of the scanty attendance, was not taken till an hour after the time advertieed; and even then it was deemed advisable to postpone the transaction of husinees till the next general meeting in February. Due notice will be given should it be determined to hold any meeting before thattime. DIRECT LINCOLN, EAST RETPORD, AND Siir.rrlELD Jescrm.—A meeting of shareholders was advertised to take place yesterday, at the London Tavern; but after waiting a considerable time, a nt director or shareholder appearing, the reporters all went away, considering it from some cause or other postponed. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—POSTPONED OPENING or Tilt Irswien AND Bear. —The Ipstrith Erpreas of 'remits) , states that, "The dusappointment occasioned by the Ipswich and Bury Itailwey not bring opened on Monday, after the public announcement made of the intention of the direction to open it fur passenger traffic on that day, arose in part, we are itiformed, from the Inspector-General of Railways being called to Ireland immediately after his visit of inspection on tail line, whence he did not return in time to enable the directorn to obtain the requis'te permission from the Railway Board. We learn, however, that the authority to open the line to the public is idnioat hourly ex pected, and that they will probably, have the benefit of it on an early day this week. The report of the Inspector-General *ad in every respect sati .factory as to the state of the works [tad there titntai fur immediate *milk " WIDENING OP THE LIVERPOOL, AND MANCHESTER. — Within the last few days the ground for widening this line has been staled out from Liverpool to Iluyton, and the extra double set of rails will be immediately hud. CISEIL AND ST. QtiENTIN.—The local erave , tes into the definitive plans for this line, us fur as regards the departm e nt of the Wee, have now been brought to a close and the projects of the com pany approved of. Nothing is await ed but the authority of the Minister of Public Works. In the department of the Alone, the esqralrs have also termOutted, and it was expec t ed that the com mission, W . ilieh began its 'tilting, on the 12th inst., would bring them to a close by the 2idn. It is thought that the projects of the company will be approved of, and, if the company in not compelled to wait long for the ministerial authorisation, the works may be commenced next spring. The works to be coneirueted are not of great importance. There are none to speak of in the Oise, and only a few embankment. in the Ai•ne. CALAIS AND DUNIORK.—The company has completed all the preliminary operations, and awaits only the authority of tile ninieter to proceed actively with the works. - - RAILWAY SHARE LISTS.—LosDoN,DEc. 22.

The plaintiff, in his specifica tion, had divided his claim into several parts, but the main question to be decided was embodied in part the fifth, which was as follows: " I also claim the mode of applying wood or other non-conductor of heat as a means of preventing the conductieg down of heat into the spirit."—Mr. Serjeant Byles conceded that the only part of the plaintiff's invention which be should now submit had been infringed was the non -conducting medium; the alleged infringement of the other parts was defensible.—Mr. Chambers went on to say that the plaintiff did not claim the principle cf using a non conductor, but merely a mode or method of applying a non conductor. The principle, therefore, being old, the defendant, seeing that it was one of great importance, had succeeded in carrying out his object by en invention totally dis tinct front that of the plaintiff, as proved in fact by the evidence of Professor Brandt.—Mr. Cleasby and Mr. Webster having followed on the came side, Mr. Serjeant Byles (followed by Mr. Cowling and Mr. Dowdeswell), con tended that there was sufficient evidence to go to the jury that the plaintiff's patent, as described in the specification, had been infringed. True, the interposition of a non•con. doctor wu old ,• but the plaintiff had invented a mode — in short, Me mode—of applying it, particularly to a eplrit lamp, and the only distinction between his method and that of the defendant was, that the latter had employed the non conducting medium at a different part of the ' chain of coin manication." It mattered not whether the particular pro cess was used in one part of the apparatus or the other ; it was sufficient for the pleintiff to show that the defendant had adopted a mode similar to his, of " insulating the flame," and in so doing had infringed his patent. The learned Judge said, it was his duty to decide whether there was any evidence to go to the jury, either of a sub stantial or a colourable infringement of the plaintiff's patent. It was for him to explain the distinction in point of law, and the question was, whether there was any evidence to submit to the jury, in deciding that point. Looking at the specification, and coupling it with the evidence produced, he wu of opinion that in a claim so large, the plaintiff's patent could not be said to have been infringed, and that there was not matter to be submitted to the jury. He thought, there fore, that there must be a verdict entered for the defendant. —The jury, after hearing some further observations from the learned judge, stated that they found their verdict in accordance with the directions of his lordship, but that they were unanimously of opinion that the plaintiff's patent had been infringed. The Lord Chief Justice said the jury could not come to that conclusion without having heard the argument on the other side.—One of the jurymen replied that they had heard the evidence as to the infringement. His lordship remarked that the jury must hear in mind that it would have been the duty of the learned counsel for the defendant to point out to them the weight of that evi dence, and to show how far it ought to be allowed to in. fiuenee their minds.—A verdict was then entered for the defendant, by direction of the learned judge. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. lfm Pam. —Before Sir F. Pollock, C. 8., and a London Special Jury. LAMERT O. HEATH.—SCRIP CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY AN ATTORNEY TO A RAILWAY COMPANY, WITHOUT TILE SANC TION OP THE DIRECTORS, HELD TO BE WORTHLESS.—This action, which was the subject of a former trial, was brought to recover the price paid to the defendant, a stock broker, for scrip certificates in the Kentish Coast Railway Company, on the ground that fhey had been issued by Mr. Cur'ing, the solici tor to the company ,without the sanction or concurrence of the directors of that undertaking. Upon the former, as well as upon the present trial, it appeared that Mr. Curling, who, like many others, acted in the dou'ale capacity of promoter and solicitor, persuaded the secretary, whose name was Richards, to affix his signature to the scrip, and that they were thus issued with the appearance of authenticity, even though they did not bear the signatures of any of the directors. The following were the main facts of the case: a short time before the railway panic, somewhere about 2,000 ehares in the Kentish Coast Railway project were allotted, but in con sequence of that notorious event, deposits were paid only upon 600. The result was, that the directors determined not to issue more scrip, and to cane, I those then prepared to be issued. To accomplish this obj ct effectively, they re solved not to affix their signatures to any more certificates, knowing that such documents would be completely valueless unless they were so signed. Having acted strictly in con formity with this resolution, they were under the impression that the affairs of the company were in a condition to be wound up with comparative facility, when, to their amaze ment,they discovered sometime afterwards, that a much larger number of scrip certificates than they had issued were in the market. This discovery led teen inquiry, upon which it ap peared that Mr. Curling had caused the plate, off which the original certificates were struck, to be altered by effacing that part of it upon which the signatures of the director , should have been, leaving merely space for the signature of the secretary. It was thus made to appear that the signa tures of the directors were not only unnecessary, but that they had given their sanction to the certificates signed by the secretary. A very large number (about 1.000) were con cocted in this manner, and sent into the market at a small premium, notwithstanding the depression which existed Immediately after the panic. The parties engaged in the transaction, no doubt, realised something by it, while the public were kept completely in the dark as to its real cha racter. The plaintiff purchased a number of those shares from the defendant, and on discovering the mode in which they . had been issued , he insisted upon having their price refunded. That demand not having been complied with, an action was resorted to for the purpose of enforcing it. Upon the former trial, it was supposed the case was altogether on undefond , d one, and the jury were directed by Sir F. Pollock to find for the plaintiff, if they thought the scrip was not genuine. The verdict having passed for the plaintiff accordinely, a rule for a new trial was subsequently obtained, upon the ground that the proper questions for the jury were, whether the plaintiff had got what he intended to purchase when he bought the scrip, and whether the defendant, in selling them, had given what was usually the subject of contract upon the Stock Exchange. The evidence on this trial was almost similar to that which was adduced upon the last. The Attorney-General, with Mr. James and Mr. Hugh Hill, conducted the present case, by which the foregoing facts appeared. Three of the directors i f the company swore that no authority or sanction had been given at any time, by any of the members of that body, for the issuing of the scrip in question, and that several months had elapsed after they had resolved not to issue more, when they dis covered that their solicitor 'had got the plates altered and issued the certificates in the secretary's name. They also deposed that they had discovered, upon inquiry, that the scripholders, instead of paying the deposits into the blinkers' of the company had paid it at Mr. Curling'e office ; so that they supposed he had received in that way a very large sum. —Mr. Curling, who appeared in court under n subprena, pro duced the subscribers' contract, but not having been examined by either of the parties, he stated that he was most anxious to give, upon oath, every explanation of his conduct ; anal he was prepared to produce every document he had relating to the affairs of the company. The Lord Chief Baron suggested that the less he stated the better.—Mr. Curling complained that his character should be traduced. and an opportunity denied him of defending himself publicly. The I.ord Chief Baron intimated that it would be very desirable indeed that an opportunity should be afffirded the gentlematfto defend himself, if he could, but if not, he should remember that he should abide the consequences. Mr. Martin, Q.C. (with whom were Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Wines), contended, on behalf of the defendant, that he was no party to any of the frauds alleged to have been perpe trated ; he was an innocent party, and should be held in no way responsible for the acts of others, of whom he knew nothing. The directors, although they did not participate In the frauds, were legally liable, as their negligence was so great that any rational person, looking at all the circum stances of the case, could arrive at no other con clusion than that they had sanctioned the issuing of those certificates which were now described as fraudulent and fictitious. The learned counsel also submitted that it was altogether impossible that thane scrip cc rtificate, could have been bought and sold in the Stock Exchange market and else where for mont'is, at a premium, too, and that the directors could have continued ignorant of their having been issued. The Lord Chief Baron (summing up) told the jury that there were three questions upon which he would take their 1 1 opinion : Ist, Whether they thought the scrip certificates in question were fraudulent and fictitious, or genuine scrip, for which the directors should be held liable; 2ndly, Whether the director, sanctioned the issuing of them; and 3rdly, Whether the scrip which the plaintiff purchased and the defendant sold acquired the character in the market of being genuine, and was sufficient to induce the jury to believe that the plaintiff intended to purchase that particular descrip tion of scrip. If the jury believed the evidence that the directors had not sanctioned the solicitor in issuing it, and that they further believed the directors had not been guilty of any wilful negligence in preventing it, the scrip purchased by the plaintiff were undoubtedly fraudulent and fictitious; they were not the certificates of shares in the Kentish Coast Railway which the defendant was directed by the plaintiff to purchase for him, and be should therefore be entitled to recover. But, if they thought that they were the scrip of the company, or that the directors had so conducted themselves as to give them the appearance of authenticity, or stamp them with their sanction, then the defendant could not be held liable. Another question for the jury was, whether those scrip certificates were so before the public, that a buyer giving directions to purchase , scrip in the Kentish Coast Railway, when the order in question was given, got all he had bargained for when he bought the scrip sold by the defendant, whether they were fictitious or not,—and the sel ler, in selling them, only dealt in what the market afforded him, for it appeared there were no other scrip certi ficates of this rai:way then for sale is the market. The de fendant had not those scrip himself, he was merely asked to buy them ; he accordingly purchased them in the market, and geld them twain to the plaintiff.—The jury, having retired for some time, returned a verdict for tha finding, upon the first point submitted to them, that the scrip certificates were fraudulent; as to the second, that the direc tors had not sanctioned their issue; and, upon the third point, that the scrip did not acquire such a character in the Stock Escheatage market, that they should be cone'dered ge nuine certificates of shares in the Kentish Coast Railway. —A verdict for the plaintiff of 4321. 103. was accordingly of 4 * entered. COURT OF EXCISE. Before H. F. Stephe;ml7;:ro ... ., and C. Rom, FN. SEIZUE OF AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY UNDER TILE WA TERLOO-ROAD.—John Harris, of No. 180, Watt rloo.road, appeared to answer informations for working illicit stills on premises near the Waterloo-road, an elaborate model of which was placed in the court to assist the commissioners in the investigation. The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty."— Mr. J. Lewins, an officer of excise, deposed that on the 3rd COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. (benzoissioner Shepherd. A Patxr-rtcurna.—Jolin Badman, better known in the sporting world as Johnny Walker, a pugilist, who fought one Simmons no later than Tuesday last for 2001., and who is styled " champion of the light weights," came up for the final order.—The question in dispute was, as to whether the name of " Johnny Walker" ought to have been inserted in the petition.—His Honour considered the petition to be cor rect, and granted the final order. Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd. A Sxt.'n BANKIMPTCY.—Louis:Maurier, an hotel-keeper, applied for his certificate as a bankrupt.—Mr. James, who opposed him, said—The assignees in this case are friends of the bankrupt, who comes here upon his own petition. These parties appear to have been guilty of collusion. The bank rupt passed his last examination without opposition, and he received and paid money shortly before and after the bank ruptcy. He in now in ion of the business. I will ask him a few questions.-4r e b a ankrupt was then examined by Mr. James: I am now now earryinglon business merely for my landlord, with no arrangement as to wages, but with liberty to help myself to anything nut of the profits. The landlord receives what there is after I have helped myself. There has been a removal of plate.—Mr. Duncan: They are all albata metal.—Mr. James: Indeed there was a gold watch and chain, I believe.—Bankrupt: There was. I was clerk in the law at Paris for six years. I know Philippe the juggler.—Mr. Duncan Louts Philippe?—Mr. James No, I don't mean him when I said the " great juggler." I in dulged in railway speculation with Philippe, about the time of the panic. I did not keep a cash-book. In France we are obliged to keep a cash-book. Mr. Buchanan then opposed, on the part of the Finsbury Iron Works, on the ground that when the bankrupt gave an order to his clients for a patent cooking apparatus ho was in a state of insolvency, and giving two bills, stating the money to be as safe as the bank. The bankrupt was again examined, and admitted that he was not in a- lvent circumstances when he gave the order, and that about the same time he had accommodation bill transactions. He had borrowed large sums of money at 25 per cent. per annum.—Cross-examined by Mr. Duncan : One of my opposing creditors (Thomas) was a milkman, and I only owe him IV. Is. Bd. The Belgian Operatic Com pany, who were at Drury-lane Theatre, put up at my hotel, which is called the "Albert and Prince of Wales." I had fifteen servants, and they made me promise to pay them their wages out of what I received from the Belgian Com pany. I would not receive it, and ordered my clerk (M. Dupille) to receive it and pay them. I was not aware of bankruptcy. I paid my servants, thinking that they were privileged. I did not tell my wife to remove property. I tine* heard it was to gave them from bring ultras under execution. They were albata metal, and principally my wife's property.—Mr. Duncan: To whom did you give these accommodation hills ?—Bankrupt : Alexander.—Mr. Duncan then made an elaborate address on behalf of the bankrupt. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd ordered the certificate to be suspended for twelve months, with the condition that it shall not be granted until the money paid away after the fiat issued, be handed over to thecreditors.—Mr. Duncan applied for protection, which was granted. POLICE.•-•-YESTERDAY. POW-STREET.—ROBBERY AT TH I POST-OFFICE.-W. Round, a letter-carrier, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with having stolen a letter containing two half crowns. The prisoner was on duty on Monday evening at the inland office, and kis busineas wet to remove the letters from behind the obliterating stamper to the sorters ; a letter or packet addressed to Mr. Hogan, Greyhound, Dulwich, which had passed through his hands, was afterwards missed, an 1 the prisoner was removed to another room and searched. On his person was found a purse containing 5/. Ss. fxl., some ancient copper coins, four half-crowns, a sixpence, some half-pence, awl two gold swivel watch-keys. The letter and envelope, addressed to Mr. Hogan, Greyhound, Dulwich, was in his coat-pocket. His lodgings at his father's house, I Brewer-street, Pimlico, were afterwards searched, and in a box was found four small packets, each containing twelve gold watch-keys, a small gold and tourquoitse locket, a sove reign and several other things. He was then locked up at the house of the officer of the Post-office, and on Tuesday morning he said to that person, " I broke the letter open going up stairs; it contained, two half-crowns; I do not know what made me do it; I bought all the old coins." At the request of the solicitor of the Post-office, the prisoner, who said nothing in reply, was remanded, as there had been an application made to the Post-office about a quantity of gold keys which were missing, and there was no doubt the keys now produced by the officer were part of the stolen property. The second half of a 51. note for the poor-box, from E. C., was received this day. CLERKENWELL.—CHARITY.—The second half of tha 51. note, 53,480, has been received. Mary Ann Salmon, a respectable, well-looking girl, 17 years of age, was plead at the bar, charged by Mr. John Just, watchmaker, of No. 11, Straban-place, Liverpool-road, Islington, with stealing a bottle of wine, a quantity of wear ing apparel, and other property. It appeared in evidence that the prosecutor had only returned from China within the last few months, and he had been recently married. He took the house in which he now resided, and the prisoner was recommended to him as a servant. She had not long been with them before she was suspected, and an article was missed, which was found in her possession. She burst into tears on the discovery being made. Wit ness gave her warning to leave the house, and she pre pared to do so. She roped up her trunk, and was about to leave, when witness and his wife suggested that she should open it, which having been done, the bottle of wine, some shirts, and other articles were found. The prosecutor said he had reason to suspect that other property had been stolen, and requested a remand, in order that a search might be made. The prisoner, in her defence, with an air of sim plicity, said, " I stole the wine." She was remanded, and was taken to the lock-up place weeping. WOES 111 P-STREET.—Two H re BAWDS EQU max xi. TO NoNE7-lielerea Hurst, a well-dressed middle-aged woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, for final exami nation, charged with having feloniously received a large quantity of manufactured silk, the property of Messrs. Jones and Pain, silk manufacturers in Fort-street, Spite Melds— . Humphreys, who attended for the defence, produced a certificate of the prisoner's marriage, and contended that his client had acted throughout under the immediate con trol of her husband, who was alone responsible for the alleged criminality.—Mr. Heritage, on the part of the prose cution, would not dispute the prisoner's marriage; he would show that such a defence was nugatory, by her previous marriage to another husband, who had been transported for a similar offence about eight years ago, and of whose exis tence for a considerable period after her subsequent union he could produce the most conclusive evidence. The latter ceremony was, consequently, invalid, and the prisoner must be regarded as afeninte sole, and held responsible in law for her actions.—Mr. Bingham, under the circumstances, felt bound to deal with the prisoner as a free and voluntary agent, and send the case for the consideration of a jury. —Prisoner com mitted for trial. WESTMINSTER.—Mr. Brod.rip received the second half of a 5/. note, No. 53,17.5, from 'E. C.," the first part of which was forwarded on Monday for the poor-box. The benevolent donor requested a notification of its safe arrival in the newspapers. LAMBETH.—Gnoss HY£OCRlST.—Elizabeth Dooling, the young woman who a few weeks since obtained notoriety by misrepresentation, before a magistrate at Hammersmith, of the treatment which she had cperiencc•cl at tlyz " GJod Shepherd" Ca-holic institution, at Chelsea, was placed at the bar Lefore Mr. Elliott, on a charge of creating a dis turbance at the South London Institution, in Lockefields, Walworth.
