Lord Denman said, that a s the ' - pany v erifich prosecuted this writ was admitted t o be a Bro: o h corporation, It was tu , in the opinion of the court s o._Le sole owner o f t h e vessel in tendon, and a Bridf a subject within the meaning a the act, notwithstandiag that foreigners might be mem bers of a. In no legal ',ease was an individual shareholder, an owner of the yeas al, entitled to register it, for all the members of the Coany, though each of them should be a British subject, ".ould not be entitled to register it in their individual nre..es as owners. With regard to what had been said of the policy of the law, if the legislature had not con template a, and so had left unprovided fw, such a scheme of facts P.! this case presented , if t his was a ensue °minus, andit was for the legislature to interfere. If, on the other h, the I.egislature had intended that foreigners should not be mem bers of a corporation having the objects of this company, on which point the court would hot express an opinion, then the lett-rs patent conferring the charter might be questioned. The eourt, however, could not notice the disqualifications which would disable an individual shareholder from register ing a vessel of which he might be the owner, since it could only recognise as owner of this vessel the company itself, in its character of corporation. A peremptory mandamus must therefore be awarded. Si-" pare..—Before Mr. Justice Erie. .. BESANT v. GRAY. — T AVERN It E sP ENSES OF AILWAY SVRVEYORB. Mr. Serjettnt Shee and Mr. Willes ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. E. James for the defendant. The plaintiff was the land lord of the Boor and Castle inn, Oxford-street ; and the de fendant was a solicitor, of the firm of Gray and Midge, in Great Tower.street, and was solicitor to the Derby, Uttoxe ter, and Stafford railway company. The action was brought to recover 1311., the amount of expenses incurred for some days before the 30th November, 1845, by a number of sur veyors and clerks, who were getting ready the plans and sections of the line preparatory to depositing them with the Board of Trade. The defendant had paid 20 incurred by 1. into court, which he contended covered all the expenses himself and his clerks, and a sum of 61. which he had hew rowed - from the plaintiff at the time It was urged, for th plainatf, that Gray had acted entirely as the director of the e whole affair, and had o rdered all the articles supplied — one of the surveyors, and several waiters, Re., in the house, were called to support this view of the case.— For the defence it was urged that the persons in question were sent to this tavern ,by Mr. Higgins, the engineer, who could not accom modate them in his own house, and that he was the person liable. These persons went there on the 26th, and Gray did not join them till late on the evening of the 29th ; and be sides these surveyors, some others, employed by Higgins on the Oxford end IVestern Railway, were of the party. The plaintiff d sent his bill in the first instance to Biggins, w ho bail seat it to the directors, in order to get some money on account, to enable him to pay it Higgins had since become a bankrupt. The plaintiff had also attended a meeting of Higains% credi tors as a claimant. Th ese facts were proved, and the jury, after along conrzltation, returned a verdict for the defendant. in the course of the case a witness, named Wackerbath, was called for the defence ; and, on the testament being offered to him, to take his oath, he objected to swearing on it, as he did not think it a Christian version, but a mere travesty. His evidence was not taken, it not being of importance. —__ COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WESTMISTER. xtu foes—Baton air. Justice Creswell and • 'Pedal lure. LSE c, NICHOLSON.—Mona RAILWAY LITIOATION.—MT , Serjt. Byles and Mr, Lush for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin and Mr. Atherton for the defendant.—This was en action b rought by the plaintiff , an architect and surveyor, against the de fendant, a patent agent at Manchester, and a provisional commitu•eman of the Southern Counties Union, and Bristol, Bath, and Dover direct railway, to recover 8951., the balance of an account alleged to be due to the plaintiff for expenses incurred by him, and for his services in surveying the line in question. The amount originally due was 3,2151., of which the plaintiff had received 1,3501. before the commencement of the action ; and subsequently , a further sum of 1.0001. had been paid, leaving a balence of 8951. due to the plaintiff. Of this amount the plaintiff would be content to take from the defendant, as his quota, 100 guineas, and there wu no in tention on the part of the plaintiff to enter up judgment for more then that sum. The object of the line was to form a junction with the Eastern Counties Railway at Reigate, to proceed to the West of England, in the nh eigbourhood of Bath and Bristol. The proposed capital was 1,500,0001., is 60,000 sham of 251. each. The office of the company was in King William-street, where a provisional committee of direction were in the habit of meeting from time to time. Of this committee there were about 12 members, amongst whom were Alderman Hughes Hughes, Dr. Alnutt, Mr. F. He dewend ett, and Mr. T. S. Richar d,. It did not appear that the f ant was ever preset': at any of these meetings, but it was contended that be was liable, inasmuch as he had received, at his own request, an allotment of 100 shares, and as he was a member of the provisional committee and a promoter of the said railway.—The case was sou g ht to be proved by the production of evidence to show that the idea of forming the company originated with Mr. Gadsden, the secretary, that a Mr. Wells was the appuintml solicitor to the company, and that Mr. Lee, the plaintiff, was appointed surveyor, under the authority of the committee of direction, and that*the defendant was a member of that body. A let ter, dated Oct. 3d, 1845, addressed by the defendant to Mr. Wells, was put in, and it was proved to contain these words : " You may insert my name as a member of the provisional committee." Other documentary evidence was given to show that on the 11th Oct., a letter was written to the defendant, requesting him, as a member of the provisional committee, to send in his application for shares es speedily as possible : that a few days afterwards the defendant wrote an answer to this effect: " As a member of the prov will isional com mittee, entitled to 100 shares, request allot me that number, and 1 undertake to accept the same," Bre. A document dated the bth Dec., was then produced, to show that the 100 shares had been allotted to the defendant, agree able to his own request, and certain advertisements of the company were put in, containing the name of the defendant and that of the plaintiff.—Upon these facts, Mr. Martin, followed by Mr. Atherton, submitted that there was no evi dence to go to the jury as against the defendant. He urged that the ease, in its leading features, was identically the same as that of " Wyld v. llopkina," which was decided a few days ago in the Court of Exchequer. In that case it was held that the mere fact of a party being a member of a provisional committee did not render him Heide for debts incurred by other members of the company without his authority. Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Lush, on the other hand, contended that there were circumstances in this ewe which took it out of the general rule laid down in Wyld v. Hopkins." The documents produced proved that the defendant recognised the existence of a committee of management and direction, that he was a promoter of the railway, that by consenting to have his name entered in the prospectus as a provisional committeeman, he had held himself out to Vie world as one of the persons who would bear the responsibilities of the company. and that by allow seg his name to be inserted in the advertisements which eontained the plaintiff's name as survey or to the line, he had ratified the appointment of that gentleman. Mr. Justice Cresswell expressed his opinion that there was no evidence to go to the jury to show the liability of the de fendant in this ac tion, and therefore the verdict must be e ntered for the defendant. — The jury accordingly returned a verdict for the defendant. PREROGATIVE COURT. SAUNDERS O. WIOSTON.—RIOHT OP NEXT OF KIN TO OITE ETIDENCE.—Sir H. d. Fust expressed his opini n o upon this case, case, the arguments upon which were heard on the last ses sion. The question was one of practice—whether a party in a cause, or cited to see proceedings, was entitled to be eta mined as a witness in the MIRO% The learned judge, after veferring to precedents and the practice of the courts, held that the evidence given in the present case, and which was objected to, could not be published. The party must be dis missed before the evidence could be received. Decision accordingly. Wagiso e. WARING.—This was a question of proving in solemn form the last will of Mrs. Sarah Gibson, of Wey bridge, in Surrey, who died, aged seventy-four years, a widaw, without children. She left p ersonal property of the value of 90,0001., and a freehold worth 3,2001. The papers now propounded as her last will, are opposed on the ground that the deceased was insane. The will and codicil were dated March, 1834, and March, 1836, and the question turned upon the period when the testatrix first became insane, a commission of lunacy having decided that she was so in the year 1838, in consequence of which she was treated as such subsequently to that decision. The case did not make much progress to-day. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. Sitting% in k:rror. ADDITIONAL SrrrtNo.—On the meeting of the court Chief Justice Wilde intimated that it had been arranged to have one additional sitting this day. Ten causes still stand for argument on the list of errors from the Queen's Bench. It is espected that two of these will be got through at the extra sitting. GRADORT v. THZ QUEEN, ON THY PROSECUTION OF .1111 t DUKE or IlstuNEWick..—On this ease being called on for argument, it um intimated, on behalf of the plaintiff in error, that •the rule to amend the record, obtained in the Quegla's Bench, would be undioposed of till nett term. The court. then ore, ordered the case to stand over. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Neu Puce.- -Before Sir F. Polio* C. 8., sad a common jury. CROCKPOIIIi V. LORD MAIDSTONE.—CLUB B . — CiAgario• aousge.—Thiscase, which was part beard on Wednesday, was reissued yegerday morning, at 10 o'clock, when the fol lowing witnesses were called: — James Lawrence, cellerman and butler at Crockford's club, proved that Lord Maidstone dined at least forty times there during the yisse 1840, and frequently after k ceased te be managed by the late Mr. Crockford. The bills when were destroyed, but were kept as vouchers when not ~Laekarged. One Gubriel woo superintendent, and received the money in the cofee.romn. No charge was made for supper according to the club rules. There was a dilferent cellar for the wines used at supper. John Hunt deposed that air took dinners to No. 13, Bolton - street , Piccadilly, when employ eil as porter at Crock, ford's; two other porters did so likewise; they all received one shilling each from Lord Maidstone, and whenever his lordship did not pay them, that sum was put down in his bill. The lady in Bolton-street to whom the dinners were sent gave the porters are shillings each m a Christmas box. (Laughter.) Wm. Lawrence (also a porter) corroborated the last wit. mess's evidence, atd proved the defendant's handwriting, in which several orders for wine were. The dinners sent to Bolton-street were taken in by a female servant. I:Osborne, cellarman, proved that he bad taken a doses of sherry on one occasion, and sex dozen on another, from King-street, where the late Mr. Crockford had a private place of business, as a wine merchant, to No. 13, Bolton street, Piccadilly.

GUILDHALL. —Tae WUXI( or SATTARA.—Fnamed SACAB sr THE INDIA-MOUSE. -- An elderly gentler:B.n, Peter Gordon, was charged with au assault, under the Col circumstances :—Jtitin Saunders, door lkoeewipengr etoltrathadiCaoariert-room of the East India-house, stated that about half-past 12 o'clock that morning he observed the defendant standing in the hall of the East India-house, ex hibiting a large placard with the words " Justice denied," " Patronage sold, ' "No inquiry." Considering it very im proper, he communicated with :be chairman of the company, who instructed hi m to inform the prisoner that, in ease he persisted in doing so, be must be put out of the hall. Wit ness told Mr. Gordon the instructions he had received; but the latter would neither desist in his occupation nor leave the place, upon which he (Saunders) attempted to obtain possession of the pipe", but in the struggle it was torn in half, each party retaining a portion. The prisoner then struck witness in the mouth. and made it bleed, whereupon ke wasgiven into custody.—Alderman Wilson asked Saunders if the prisoner was in the habit of going to the house ? Saunders replied that he had seen him about one hundred times, and believed he was • proprictor.—Alderman Wibon: What have you to say in defence, Mr. Gordon ?—Mr. Gor don : I am a proprietor and holder of East India stock, and observing an advertisement stating that a meeting was to take place at the Hanover-square Rooms last night relative to India affairs I proceeded there, and was handed this little pamphlet (understood to bear tatement of con s i dered ,f the Rajah of Sahara), which, alter perusing, I it to be my bounden duty to go to the India Holm this morning, and having entered the Proprietors' room, I wrote that pia card, and, as has been my usual custom for yea-s, 1 seated myself in the entrance hall, near the board used br the pro prietors to exhibit their advertisements, and exposed it to the gaze of those who might pass in and out. My only desire was to induce the proprietors to call a special g. Wilson Wilson : But why do it on a day when there was no court of proprietors ?—Mr. Gordon : Numbers read the placard, was my object. The comply nant came up, and with whichln= previous warning, attempted to gain posseseion of the , which I 'misted, and, considering I was areaulted, .7.erf-defence, I certainly struck him.—Ald. Wilson: There can be no doubt you have acted wrong in exhibiting such a placard.—Mr. Gordon : I have often exhibited others, relative to the state of prisons in India, and other mstters.— Ald. Wilson: Lint if you are allowed to do this, twenty others might claim the same right.—Alt. Wilson and Ald. Farueombe, after consulting some time, said that at first they were inclined to deal summarily w ith the case ; but it appearing that other placards of a similar character had been exhibited by the defendant (in w one of hich, in reference to the case of Sir J. Cantu, a proprietor was called a liar), they felt bound to sent! the case to the sessions, allowing him bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties of 301. each ; but on Mr. Gordon stating that it would be impossible for him to procure the required bail, and promising not t repeat the offence, he was discharged, on entering intohise for o wn recognizances, in the sum of 1001 . , t o kee p the peac twelve months. THAMES.—A FATHER-IN-LAW. -11/r. Louis Schein berbeg, merchant of Dantzic, and a member of the corpo- I ration of that city, was charged with f llSMllling Mr. Usher, a slop-seller, in the Minories. On Friday last the defendant came to his shop and demanded m some onhich ey. the Complainant referred him to his solicit or ; upo w defen threatened to break the windows, and swore he would do for him. The prisoner being called on for his defence, appeared deeply effected. Ile said that about two years since he married the complainant's daughter. lie was then carrying on business as a merchant in Dantzic ; but his affairs getting iutt confusion, he was induced by Usher to collect the wrack of his fortune to commence business here. lie accord ingly did so, and placing seventy sovereigns, with 700 dollars in Prussian notes, in a leathern belt round his person, he came over, bringing with him 376 casks of Dantztc spruce. This property, together P la to w a portmanteau contain ing several articles uf and wearing apparel, be deposited with his fatuer-in-law, and then went to Dover to meet his wife, at the same time handing to the complainant a bill of lading for bedding, linen, jewellery, and other articles which he expected would arrive. lie missed his wife, who, on her arrival in Loudon, wrote to him to say that her father was endeavouring to persuade her to art from him, and to possess herself of his property. He hastened to town, and demanded restitution of his goods and money, but his father-in-law only laughed at him. He then came to this court to seek redress, but was told he could only obtain it by a civil action. After that, not wishing to give scandal, he cited his father in-law to appear before the chief rabbi, but could not get him to appear. Under these circumstances, being stripped of all his property, and driven to a state bordering upon madness, he might have used language of an nu ' warrantable nature.—Mr. Ballantine said that if the defen dant's story was true, it plated the complainant in anything bat an amiable or resift stable post on , but still the defendant must not use language which, according to its common con struction, amounted to a threat of using a knife. It was not I surprising, if the facts were as were stated, that the de fendant should feel poignantly on the subject, and it was much to ha hoped that he would fall in with some honest solicitor who would endeavour to procure hint redress. — The defendant was then ordered to enter into his own re cognisances, to the amount of 201., to keep the peace towards the plaintiff. Cot eTac BANKoos.—Sir,—See Mg that the issue of bills payable In London seven days after eight by country bankers is excit ing some attention in the metropolis, and is stigrnadsed ea an evaaon of Mr Monett Peel's Act of last semion, I beg to inform you of a parti cular code, in the hope that you will either publish my communica tion, or advert to the subliat in your own masterly manner. On the 10th ult., I received a sum of m one y , , amongst other things, of three XL bills of a bank located in Kent. They are so ex actly like the bank notes in circulation, that, looking only to the amount, and not reading through the body of the bills, I took them for notes, and locked them up till I wanted them. Yesterday, re quiring the money, 1 came to town and presented the notes at the banking corn.spondentis of the bank referred to, expecting toget them cashed ; but, to my surprise, I was told to place them for acceptance, and I might have the money in ten days. Without meaning to say that this was a cheat, I must say that I wits deceived. I might have had a bill to take up, and might !nave been put to great ineouvenlease; fortunately for me, I could wait for the money. Why shoted the beakers make these bills exactly like bunk notes, unless meant them to circulate as notes? A person who calls himself • writing to one of your contemponince, recommends all bankers who wish to obey [behalf, to refuse to take up an of these suade-up bills, and that ould soon put a stop to them. This w advice appears not to be followed by the London bankers, who, accenting to the state- I metal made in your contemporary, lend themselves to this erasion of MONEY MARKET. THURSDAY EVENING. The position of the funds has undergone some altera tion to-day, in continuation however of the direction impressed upon them some short time before the close of the market Yesterday. Consols left off to-day 951 sellers for money, and J5l to i for account. Between the highest price yesterday and the closing prices to-day there is a difference in decline of about I. Among the causes which contributed most to the high rates attained yesterday were the purchase for de livery to-day of 50,0001. Consols for the Court of Bankruptcy, 4 and of 14,0001. more for the Court of Chancery for delivery I to-morrow. The scarcity of money stock previously experi enced was somewhat aggravated by these money operations, ;” and prices advanced accordingly until the rates between money and account became equalised at 951 at one time, and it was easier to sell stack for money at that figure than for time. Later on in the day a large dealer afforded a sensible relief to the market, ho wever, b y the sale of 150,0001. Con sols for money, and upon the completion of the business the same party purchased to the extent into Reduced Threes. This is considered to have been • beneficial operation, as ' Reduced Threes, and Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. as well, ruled, relatively with Consols, below their fair proportionate value. Previously to these transactions money stock had been borrowed for the account at the highest rate by parties anxious not to miss their market. The leaders would make an advantageous bargain in that way, as not only having the free use of the money till the opening, but also escaping, as it is understood, the deduction of the income-tax, which would fall upon the borrower into a whose name the stock would be transferred. Reduced • Threes at the close were 94 to 4. Three-oud-s-Quarter per It Cents., 964 to 1. The government broker took his usual ll quantity of 15,0001. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. for the Il savings banks, but for reduction of the National Debt made his purchase of 1,2001. in Reduced Three per Cents. Bank 4 : Stock, 2061 to 74.

Czockford, had nut been purchases'. `di witness.—Crois pasminad ; The only arranigenter.t madebetween the plaintiff sad witness was, Ott. ke a..ould receive his costs and 10 per cent. commisaiou on all debts recovered. Mr. James, who (with Mr. J ones) addressed the jury for the defendant, and complained of the unmerited obloquy and invective attempted to he east upon his client, because he thought proper to defend the present action upon the grounds stated on the record. He least deg con reetended ame that the defendant , inste ad of feeling in the ash was entitled to praise for the manliness and the courage with which he had resisted a claim made on behalf of the manager of a house into which numbers of young, inexperienced, a nd d ng honourable men, were inveigled f wor thehad purposeed the case on of effecti th e ir destruction. Mr. Humfrey, ho open behalf of the plaintiff, was instructed to state that Lord Maidstone had walked off whenever be won, and pocketed his winnings, although, whenever he lost, he gave cheques, which were always dishonoured tin re was not the slightest foundation for such a charge—and Mr. HUMffey did not attempt to sustain it by the least tittle of evidence. The reason was, because it was untrue in every particular, and could not be sustained. Lord Maidstone unfortunately did play at this club and lost sums of mousy which be (Mr. James) would scarcely venture to name. M essy of the members of the club were undoubtedly otte rs e highest station and respectability, but there were many othe ot very different character. Whist was commenced there every afternoon at 2 o'clock, and it was a nototious fact that the late Marquis of Hertford won 100,0001. at Crock ford's. Hazard and whist were played there almost without cessation ; and largo sums were won and lost. How then could any one doubt that suchen establishment was what the rec ord described it to be " • common gaming house" one of the rules, as good a cold supper as could be provided was to be on the table at 12 o'clock every night during the sitting of parliament. The viands to be of the best descrip tion, and the fruits the choicest the y season could afford. Yet, no charge was made. Could anthing look tnore like a decoy—a regular gaming-house —than whist in the afternoon, —hazard at night—• good supper, with the best of wises, Otis ' As to the claim for the entrance subsenption fees, they were never meant to be paid by ttats hose who played ; these charges were merely supposed to be made for the purpose of defeating the vigilance an of the police, and give the establishment the apps nary of ordi nary club. Any of the members who used it merely as • club and did not p la y were expected to pay those fee and he s, was but the defendant used it merely as a gaming-house, obliged to pay soother way. As to the dinners and wines for which the defendant was charged— emitted one At the request of M r. Humfrey the court pe Langhorne, a clerk to the late Mr. Crockford, to prove the factsthat the defendant himse l f had ordered the wines . which delivered in Bolton-stree Mr. James then continued his address to the jurye, d the and contended that the 371 . 17s. 6d. paid into co urt exceed m'W of the dinners and wines sent to Bolton-street, or used by Lord Maidstone at the club and unpaid for. If that was not so, why were not the bills produced ?—for the witness proved that when they remained unpaid they were kept as vouchers. The coffee-room transactions were, by the rules of the establishment, to be for ready money, and no member was allowed to be in arrear more than 101. ; how, then, in the absence of direct evidence, could the jury suppose that the defendant had incurred the debt alleged to he due by him ? Why was not Gabriel the archangel of this hell (laughter), who received the money in the coffee-room, called? No doubt could exist as to the fact that Crockford's was a h fathell upo and n a l arg e scale, where many a yo un g man, as well la ers husbands, had their ruin effected. The late Mr. Crockford realised a fortune by that establishment. What was hi ruines an swer to a nobleman who complained that his son wa s d in kis house ? " I know it," said Crockford, very coolly, "I ruin one a day—l live by it." If be had lived, this case would in all probability never have been heardbut as it had been brought forward, he (Mr. James) sincerely hoped the jury would mark it with their condemnation by giving their verdict for the defendant. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said, he expected some evidence would have be: given to sustain the state ment made as to the exemption of those who played in the club from the payment of subscriptions or entrance fees. There was no proof whatever of such an understanding. There was no evidence, either, to show who lived at No. 13, Bolton-street ; but there was quite sufficient to show that the defendant felt an interest he had t in that establishment, and it was natural to suppose tha ordered the dinners and wines, of the value of which the jury a re hould form an opinion. As to the special plea, which stated that the club in question was a common gaming-house, it was his duty to tell them that, in point of law, that plea saw not supported. It appeared that persons played at this club, both by day and by night.but play was not at all illegal at common law ; and it being quite clear that no person except members could go into it and play there, he thought it did not come under the description of " a common gaming house." The jury should form their own opinion as to whether the sum paid into court was sufficient to cover the plaintiff's demand, as it was proved ; and if not, their ver dict ought to be for such additional sum as they considered the plaintiff entitled to. The jury almost immediately teturned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full sum demanded ; but, on the suggestion of the learned judge, it was reduced, by deducting therefrom sundry items for luncheons, soda-water, and brandy, with respect to which no evidence was given. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Collllthilkillef Beans. THE M.P. FOIL OSFORD.—Mr. Lawrance applied to the court to grant further time to Mr. Donald Mac lean, a baokrupt, to surrender to the fiat.—lt appears that the bankrupt owes about 77,0001., and the assets are "none " He is now abroad for the binefit of his health. —His Honour granted further time, intimating that if Donald Maclean did not answer the letters which would be sent to him by the assignees, he or his friends having posses sion of the books, he would be treated as &fraudulent bank rupt.—Mr. Maclean was declared bankrupt as a brickmaker, and several applications similar to the above have been made.—A medical certificate was handed in by Mr. Law ranee, by which it appeared that the bankrupt was in a very precarious state of health, and totally unable to attend this court. -- INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Before Mr. Com=*loner Danis. A TRAOEDILN IN Titoustr.—George Jones, one of the original founden of the British and Foreign Institute, cam* up on his petition to be heard. lie was opposexl by M Creswell for Mr. Dodd , an d was supported by Mr. Cooke. The opposition was for a vexatious defence of an action in which Mr. Dodd was plaintiff. The insolvent, who had been a tragedian, an author, and a jobber in railway shares, pub lished a tragedy entitled " Tecumseh," and other works, of which Mr. Parnell was the original printer. Mr. Dodd afterwards came into the business, and brought his action for an instalment on an agreement for the printing of tlje works. The insolvent said he considered Mr. Dodd merely as his agent, and hence the plea to the action. lie was ex amined as to his dealings in railway shares, and stated his debts to amount to 2,0001. The court thought the explana tion given by the insolvent satisfactory, and considered him entitled to his discharge. Discharged accordingly. SHERIFFS' COURT, RED LION-SQUASE. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell and a Special Jury.) NV ILLIAMS V. CHAPLIN AND OTHESS.—In this cafe, which created some interest in the coal-market, the plaintiff, a coal-merchant at the Regent's Canal basin, sought to recover of he defendants, as directors of the London, Westminstert, and Vauxhall Iron Stea m last Company, the sum of 7841. &s. 10d. fur coals supplied.--Mr. Bodkin, in stating the case, informed the jury that the defendants having suffered judgment to go by default, thereby ad mitting their liability, the only question for their deter mination was one of amount. The plaintiff was the sole ant in London for the sale of the Duffryn coal, which came from Wales, and which was pecul'arly adapted for the purposes ot steam navigation on the river Thames, as it emitted less smoke than other coal, and gave a more intense heat. For some years the London and Westminster Iron Steam boat Company ' were supplied at 235. 64. per too, and the contract continued until a Mr. Pegg and another, who were coal-merchants, were admiaed into the direction of the company, and then the supply by the plaintiff ceased. The cessation occurred in June last, up to which time the plaintiff had supplied coals of the description stated, " Duffryn Welch coal," amounting to kOOl. worth per week. It, however, happened that the coaritterwards supplied for the boats was not of the quality required, and that the several boats per formed each one journey less a day than before, by which a loss of 1201. a day was sustained. In the following month the plaintiff was again requested to send the Duffryn coals, and he executed the orders at 325. 6d. per ton, and a bill for 5001, was signed by three of the directors, and afterwards paid. A remark was made by Mr. Cattarn, ot the firm of Cattarns and Fry, on the charge 325. 6d. per ton for the same coals as had been supplied at 23e. 6d., and he was informed that in future they would be charged for at the rate of two guineas per ton. From the Ist of August to the the 12th of the month, 230 tons were supplied, for which the company were charged, not two guineas as they were informed, but 40s. per ton, and on this sum the jury would understand that the struggle was to arise. The price was no doubt a very large one, arising from the scarcity of the particular coal and the demand made for the same. A bill was drawn for the coals so supplied, and two of the directors had accepted it, but the third de clined, and the bill was left in his possession and had the ot been returned to the plaintiff. It had been proposed on part of the company to refer the case to arbitration, but the plaintiff had refused and preferred submitting his case to a Jury, feeling confident that they would award the sum he claimed —namely, 7841. for coals supplied at 233. 6d., at 32a. 64., and at 405. per ton, with the expenses incurred in the delivery of the goods.—The clerk to the plaintiff, Mr. Cripps, woo the principal witIKAII, and he confirmed the state ment of the learned rounael.—Mr Bramwell addressed the jury fur the defendants on the ground that the price charged was unreasonable, and that the piatatiff had offered to supply the company with coalsat the rate of 235. 6d. under a couu act for oae year, which contract was not, however, agreed upon. A number of witnesses were called for the defendants, among them Mr. Cattarn, who was present when Mr. Cripps applied for the payment of the demand. Several coal /asters stated the prices Welch coals fetched in July and August in the present year. None, however, had the Duffryn coal ; and a factor's clerk, on being asked whether 40s per ton was a fair sum, said, he supposed that it must be given, if it could not be obtained for less.—Mr. Bodkin, in his reply, insisted that no defence had been given to the aden, and asked the jury t o assess tho damages at the tint claimed. The learned counsel made some remarks ea tb.e manner in which the plaintiff had been used in regard to the bill of exchange, which had been signed by two of the directors, ant Shen retained ; it was only another instance of the observation, that See in theircolleetlee capacity ma company ------- the law by their country eorromendent.. 1 can sec, he „„ , a ee ta, dent motive for the conduct either .... e the hawing heeh „ ee the se ecUtiod flanker.

Whether this practice be an evasion of the law or not, it must be admitted to be a clever am rivanoeby which large profits may be gained without any capital, whilst London bankers may accept paper to any amount with not incurring any risk am, sir, yours, A WEALD or KENT MAN.— Weald of Kent, Dec. t.—P.s. I congratulate you on having intro duced a newspaper here where, with rare exceptions a daily paper was never seen before out of the squires' and parsons' houses. Our attention has been ceded on various occasions to this question of the issue of seven-day hills by country bankers. We have not been inattentive observers, moreover, of the controversy about the propriety of such an issue as debated by correspondents in other Journals, with occasional animad versions or remarks of the accredited writers of the journals themselves. We find it difficult to understand, nevertheless, bow the issue of hills at seven days' sight can be construed into an evasion of the hankies law, any more than bills at s o many months after sight, or aft er date. If there be any clause in the balking law which isliuuld, directly or isdi reedy, prohibit the issue of bills at such short sight, or date, or in such a shape, let it he c Bed, and cited also the precise limits of data and sight which may with be transgressed, be muse ranging, or supposed to range, in the category . of promissory cotes pay able on demand, and trespassing upon their reserved sphere of circulation. The abuse, it there be any, as not improbably there may be, would consist in the draw ing bank attempting top s conduct, sight bills off u s paper payable nu demand. ch if verified, would be obnoxious to something more severe than simple censure. The receiver holds, however, in all cases the instant check in his own hands. If he require cash or notes payable on demand, he will surely in the usual course count his money and examine his notes. The differ. nce between "on demand" and " seven days sight" should strike the most indifferent observer, be the two descriptions of values and dates cast off with ever so much similitude of general appear ance from plates cut by the same engraver, and from paper from the same mill. how, above all, a traveller (as stated by a correspondent in a morning paper) in these days could be a, simple as not to be able to discriminate at sight betwixt a Lincolnshire seven-days' sight bill, and a bauk note payable on demand, paasescompreheusion. The seven-clays' sight bills of the Bank of England appear to be printed on precisely the same sort of paper, and the engraving and execution have the same gent cal superficial semblance, as their notes pay able en demand. We cannot therefore agree with our cor respondent that the issue of these seven-day bills is a grievance for the public, or, on the part o f the countr y banks, a palpable trespass upon the law. The country banks will of course be inclined in their own interest to avail themselves to the utmost legal extent of such privileges as are left to them. The seven-day bills are no d',ubt intended to remain much longer in circulation than the period assigned for conversion into cash atter acceptance. The interest derived from a circulation of 10 days (3 days' gram included) would not cover the cost of the stamp for a leas sum than some 501., leaving the town banker's commis- Again,rg for acceptance and, payment out of question. though a seven-days' sight bill may be drawn and dated on the Ist of the month, if it is not actually issued till the 31st, or any mere distant date still, it has not been yielding interest to the drawer in the meantime. His interest in it commences only with the day of issue, and terminates with that of payment. The seven day system may not be exactly in the regular order of old banking business, nor in strict accordance with banking principles, but its legality so far has not been successfully inipeathed. With the substitution of seven days for three, this bill system is identical with that upon which the Laffitte joint stocks of Paris (now Gouin'a) was originally constructed, and by which it was enabled to create a large three-days' sight bill circulation without invading the exclusive privilege of the Bank of France for the issue of notes payable to bearer on demand. RAILWAY NEWS. The market was generally . flat yesterday, with some tendency to depression in prices, although no altera tion took place of consequence. Birmingham and Oxfords were the feature of the day, and transactions were carried on in them to some extent with an improvement of nearly 11. per share. At the close they were called 74 to prem. Some rather considerable business was reported in India Peninsulars at or about par. There was a moderate business done in the Liverpool share market, at higher prices for old stocks. Some of the new lines, as Birmingham and Oxford and Cheshire Junc tions. were a shade better ,• others, as East Lancashire, Hud dersfields, Dewsbury s, and North Staffordshires, were lower than on Wednesday. Shrewsbury aad 13irminghams, which in the afternoon of that day were worth 21 p., declined to 21 p. Still the general tone of the market was healthy. [Owing to some accident our note of the Manchester market has not come to hand] The business at Birmingham yesterday was very animated, particularly in Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshires (B)i and Shrewsbury and Birminghams (A); the impression being strong that this line will become the property of the London and North Western, or Great Western Company. At Leeds the share market was very dull, and the whole of the transactions were effected at a decline in price. The Bristol market was firm, with a fair amount of bona fide business. Manchester and Leeds and Midlands were both in demand ; Bristol and Exeter thirds, 81 ; Bristol and Exeter old shares, 794; Caledonian half sham, 21. 6s. 3d. ; Great Western quarters, 19 ; Ditto New, 71. 7s. 6d.: Midland Stock, 129: Midland New, 401. shares, 324 ; Midland New, 60/. shares, 64; Newcastle and Berwick, 344.

Brown, Req., one of the directors. -1 he secretary. Sir. J. D. Badhaw, read the report of the directors, which after explaining the grounds on which these schemes were adopted, apologised for Tort submitting them earlier from a hope entertained of coming to an understanding with the Great Western. '(list hope having vanished, Mr. Brooch's resignation was accepted, and Mr. C. 11. Gregory appointed the company's engineeramehieL The report proceeded : "Your Directors consiaer it better to postpone to a future period the mode of raising the capital that will be required for the measuna now proposed, as they will then have the advantage of pro portioning the creidion of new shares to the extent of the new lines which may berenctionedbethelegtolature. It will be In the power of the directors to fulfil the requirements of the standing orders In respect to the deposit upon the new schemes, without any present increase of the share capital, and a resolution will be proposed for your approval, sanctioning this arrangement. Few large ntilwayo in England arc encumbered with so sinall an extent of engagements as the Bristol and Exeter. Your shares in the South Devon and Corn wall liner, and the lease of the Exeter and Crnliton, are the only one ; and no serious amount ha* hitherto been devoted to parlia mentary controls : so that you are in the beet position to take your stand as an independent company, and to adopt the strong measures of defence now called for by ihe costly and compnliensive rehemeo of your competitors fur the traffic front Devon mid Cornwall Meru as Widen amt the North. By separate termini at Exeter, a separate access to the South Devon line, and to the whole of the country west of that city, they aim to intercept streams of traffic which naturally belong to the Bristol and Exeter Company. This is a potation which your directors dearly foresaw, sad which, as was mentioned to you a year ago, induced them to recommend to your adoption the arrangements which they had prepared." The chairman said he regntted that tapir reopeeted chairman, Mr. Gibbs, was not presiding over that meeting, and that the reason Mr. Gibbs was not present was his not being abler cordially to wide with his brother directors in the measures which they had thought it necessary for the interest+ of the Bristol end Exeter Company to pro- mote. After some strong expressions of respect for Mr. Gibbs, the chairman proceeded to remark that it was nooessary to bear in nand what bad been the position of their company. Up to a very late pe riod there had been a cordial co-operation between them and the Great Western Company; they had both employed the same engineers and to some extent the same solicitors. The ditlicultita attending the severance of that cordiality had been, he could state, very great. In taking into conxiderietion the schemes now brought forward by the Bristol and Exeter direc tor+, they niuot not lose sight of the fact that the Great Western Com -1 pony was asputting forward raplan for a line of railway from Yeassil to x with a s pirate station at Exeter, and a junction with the South Devon line, thus intercepting the traffic over the Bristol and Eider line. (Dear.) They had also a scheme for giving , accommodation to the Nodb of Devon, independent of the Bristol and Feeler line. (hear.) The other great company which was projecting as extended palette of railway accommodation for Devonshire also contemphitcd a emanate station at Exeter, thus intercepting a nd bringing upon their line the traffic to which they (the Bristol and Exeter Company) had looked for the soma,, of their un dertaking. With such formidable rivals in the field it became the p. duty of the directors to do the best they could for the protection of the proprietors' interests. Looking at the fact that their own line was 0 1 formed to Exeter, that it was the trunk litre to the wed and that ft would soon be open to Creditun, the directors believed that if they a showed a disposition to accommodate the public the legislature would give their company the preference. The directors hod anxiously cos. 4 added these projecto, and cortoidming the* as they leaked forward to 4p. the working of their line as an independent line they ohouldtaleevery nth. step for the preservation anddevelopment of their traffic, they strongly e.th recommended the proprietary to arm them with powers to carry out the schemes. Resolutions in aceordence with the recommendation of e.th the directors wen• unanimously adopted, and sevcralproprietors spoke in favour of the plans put foto : ant by the board. In the course of the conversation it was stated that Mr. Gibbs bad not withdrawn from 31p. the board. Thanks were void to the chairman and the n eetlng p. separated. 50 CHEATER AND BIRKENHEAD.-Ft special general meeting a. a of shareholders was held yesterday, at Liverpool, to conelder certain proposals for the mak of the line, and other properly, to the Birken. head, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company, and for an amalgamation with it. The meeting was numerously attended. James Dirt, Eats, in the chain-Mr. Mallaby, the solicitor, read the a l memonmelum of an agreement enter d into by the directors of the a . compo Mee. the terms of agreement were, that the Birkenhead, &e a Junction should purehmie the line sod works of the Chester and Birkenhead, amaltruniating with it upon the following conditions:- " That each 501. share io the Chester and Birkenhead Company should be oonsidered an worth 5.31., and that the bald ers remise for such 50/. i share, stock In the amalgamated company equal to 551. ; that cad Sr. 2.5/. share should be considered worth 271. les.; each 201. share, 221. ; provided that so much of the original amount of the 20!. share I i aa shall not have been fully paid, at the period the act of parliament Is a pasted, shall be paid up bY the proprietors when called for.-That In. tenet shall be paid from on January, 1047, on the estimated anioimt of the said respective shores in the Chester and Itirkenhead Company • to deduction being made from the interest on the 201. share in pro w. portion to the amount not paid up., at the rate of five per cent pet I. annum for two years : and that the third year, commencing Jauum, 1e49, the interest to be paid shall be MA KT tent. per annum.

Mr. Maliahy announced that the notice of spier. cation bad already been signed. The Chairman said the . terms or arnalgamotion bad been submittal to the share. a holders for several weeks, and, as he had no doubt they • had all tome with their minds made up he would simply move " Tbatthis meeting approves of and conttrrno the sale and amalgamation of the Chester and Birkenhead Company to the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and a Cheshire Junction ibmparty, on the terms of agreement just read."- ' The Cbairman expressed bin approval of the agreement. The interest 1. odered was an enema over the dividends hitherto received; but the directors had thought it right to stipulate for that amount, ais the truffle on their line must, in the next three year., be considerably increased. 7111 is fixed amount of income would inspire confidence, and give stability to the value of the throes in the market. The Chessare Junction line was Lobe opened in two )'ran. and the reason the directors had &bayed the final amalgamation for three years was, DIM they thought ft better to allow one year for ate traffic to become deve loped ; and as the docks were in active operation, the Chester and Birkenhead line would for three years have many advantages which the Cheshire Junction would not have prior to that time.-Mr. Thomas Members secondel time resolution, which was received with applause. -Mr. Bentham said he was sorry so diger from his colleagues as to e e i s i: me't ,...t p p.thph r: ieadey r h. i n pr i n chiay: i .d :: ‘ . e .,: l e , t .,:tu o ,cdo s , onit prop riet y a c y f y i . itr,,, advantage ,tat:pl,mira prospect hrptpe measure ~, o lacto dividend, a o b e np a a i i : 'lP lin e r r uyra ei g l e :h al: k re i y i n ft ,f y y t s o n,th:bursClinTee,h,eeinF,t:teting:.,:fttadfioleneto:eldlannt , and Isirkenhe 6jth ad .:e l pi i rr r iti i :m i n . :cdnLu A 7k li sto rie be ls ..lo.ibli:t i d,tneh tl: ch.... l l l:. , a held over a the ß su ir : " en Chester hc e n d t t d an t 7l the Hir Pm ke:hece riel 7lin in e would get it without ainalga mation::wubldichind; i i f tu th ,L e th :7:::::, ,,, , p. di .e tterrn i t t e .r i o n ul am d bc oun w t o w l the r,,,,be iL lut. o art,thi, itih w ne d.liki no :v m: : l : l : e.rriedco;:aldtadthouebytss; :fettigie .u:::: ::: : in to otf t :w ,th a foc i co t ri :l ,di i w l e l i re l t : f t : i g :l 4 l r h e i t e u t g y l i t a o i , n r e i l e c d t 7 u s o u s b u t e . coor w , :o h t f :Let:sin, ei t , y ,. . „4, ll . e t emie the l:id ka .:l by of a mi i i c r coh ig ,n_ a tt i c g .rh a : t ic y nn e t : o ;i th z e t.t,e resail th, one u l ti iiy o: winut - m Mr. Humphreys seconded the amendment A long and spirited dis co being held up against it -A resolution was then passed approv ing of the signing of the notice, end empowering time directors to carry out all requisite arrangements, and after u vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting adjourned.
