The jury adopted this view, and awarded the plaintiff 211. lls. It was, however, now submitted to the court that the evi dence clearly showed that the carriage was a fit and usual one, and if so the company was of course not liable. The learned counsel added that though the amount of the da mages was small the question was important, for if the ver dict stood the company would be compelled to alter all their carriers, which were like the one in question. Mr. Justice Keating said he presided at the trial, and though he thought that the evidence on the company's side was strumpet, still it was a question which war clearly for the jury, and the amount was small.

Cy sad Black's Rooms, Edin burgh HEALTH 01 LONDON.—The weekly return of the Regutrar-(,enenl states that the weather was last week unusually cold for April, anal the mortality cd London wars high, though as in the previous week, it was considerab ly lower than Wheel been in the last three weeks of March. The deaths in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,407. In the ten yearn 1850-59 the avenge number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,119, which, if corrected for Increase of population, becomes 1,231. The deaths of last week therefore exceeded by 176 the number which the average rate of mortality in the se. rand week of April would have produced. The mean tem perature of the air in last week was about 5 degrees lower than in either of the two preceding week,. The re ferred to bronchitis in the week are 2464, the corrected average being only 1114; in the corresponding week of 1851, when the mean temperature of the air was remarkably low, anal nearly the same as that of last week, the deaths from larouclaitis were not more than 89. Pneumonia was fatal in 116 cases, the corrected average being 90. Phthisis also continues fatal, foe this disease numbered 179 last week, while the estimated number is 164. But the two tymotic diseases, snuall.par and estrlatina, do not appear to gain force, as the weekly mortality from them has lately been less than it was in the ant three mouths of the year. Three deaths from owell•poz occurred in the week in the sub-district of Trinity N • Five persons died from burns ; one man from his clot taking fire ; two others from the burning of the houses in which they dwelt ; two persons were buret by means not recorded. Ten infants were suffocated la the bed clothes. Four infants were murdered. A porter nod 66 yeas died from want, on 27th March, at 19, PlApp. street, Shoreditch. Three persona dial from intemperance, besides 2 from delirium tremens. lest week the births of 932 boys and 9274 girls, in all 1,866 children, were registered in London. Ia the ten corresponding weeks of the years ' 1860-59 the average nunrber was 1,684. NMITN LONDON COLLZOIATE S4:HOOL, CANDIN- , TOWN.—The annual dinner of the old collegians of this school was held at the Freemmon's Tavern on Saturday last, and was very numerously attended. The chair and vitu-chair were occupied respectively by the Its,. W. C. , Williams, F. ft A.B. (the head master), and Mr. Jas. Green. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Drees, who reviewed the rue and development of the school form its foundation, that its women has been most marked and rapi and the continual augmentation of its numbers, and the favour with which It is looked on in the neighbourhood, wove it to be an institution au long required, viz., a roller= middle class. The sunniness of the education is satisfactorily proved by the proud position this school has occupied in the late middle-class ex.uninations. The Bishop of London, the Rev. Canon Dale, and the local clew, are among its immediate patrons aud visitors. IiosPITAL FOR CONSt - NPTION AND DO•LAN1111 op THE CHM, BIoNPION.

COURT OP PROBATE AND DIVORCE. APRIL 17. (Before the Judge Onbeery.) DATTF-4 AND WW2 e. NADI AND INVINI.—NAM Tlit CHISHOLM This suit, which related to the will of the late Mr. Duncan Mg/011AM Chisholm, commonly called The Chisholm, was brought before the court by s preliminary set on petition, the object of which was to determine whether the deceased at the time id his death was or was not a domiciled Scotch• The plaintiff, Mrs. Jemima Batten, was the deceased 's only sister, Ins heir at law, and nest of kin ; the defendants were the executors named in the will before the court. The deceased was bons at Erchless Castle, in August 1811, and be died on the 14th of September, 1858. He was the second son of his father, and he was educated at Eton *d Cambridge. He afterwards procured an ensigncy in the Coldstream, and went out to Canada, where he re mained till the death of his brother Alexander, who had is the mean time succeeded his father as chief of his clan. Mr. Alexander Chisholm incurred great expenses in contest ing the county of Inverneesehire with Lord Glertelg (that Mr. Grant) ; and his funeral, which was conducted in con formity with the ancient customs of his clan, was also very costly. The result, therefore, was that the testator found on hie return to England in 1839, that his brother had left debts to the amount of 30,00 W., for which he (the testator) made the family imitates responsible. He then announced his intention not to lire in Scotland until he had paid off his brother's liabilities, and he accordingly came to London, where he lived at different lodging', all however being fo • very modest character. In 1847' he was a heavy loser by the railway panic ; but when be died he had reduced the licurabrasoes on his estates to 6,0001. He made a will in favour of an old friend of his, named Mrs. Kitchener, and her family. He was honie d by his owe wish iu Ketnadgreen Cemetery, where he had bought a burie family pure, in which his uncle, General McDonald, was Dr. PhiHimont, Q.C., and Mr. MeQueen, on behalf et the plaintiffs, contended that the deceased had never aban doned hi■ Ilootoh domicile, ►lthough he might for a time have resolved, from motives of economy, to live in London. It was obvious that his dearest wish was to pay off hie brother's debts, in order that he !night eventually take the position of a Highland chief. The queen's Advocate, Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Harri son, Mental contra that the deceased had really and truly abandoned his home in Scotland, as was proved by Lis ac ceptance of directorships in English companies, and by his formal adoption of the signature " D. M. Chisholm," in. stead of " Chisholm," which he had at one time used, as well as by his continued residence in England. The court reserved its decision. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Aran. 17.

Thin was an action tried at Newcastle before Mr. Justice Hill, and resulted in • verdict for the plaintiff, with damages of 1001. Mr. Idward James now moved, pursuant to leave re served, for • Dolma or • new trial, on the ground that there wee no evidence to go to the Jury, and the improper recep tion of evidence. The action bad been brought under the sot 17 and 18 Vic., c. 102, for the better prevention of ad . treating , and undue influence at elections. It was that at tho hat elootion for Borgrick-on-Tweed had takes place to • large extent, and on this an action been brought by a self -coniaitated • for the better prevention of treating throughout the kio g r , and for recovering the penalties consequent on a breach of the law. The declaration charged 11 or 12 oases of bribery and treating, but it was only proved in one case, and 1001. was the penalty. He made this motion on tire grounds that certain documents had been received on the trial. The court granted the rale. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.—APRIL 17. (Sittings in Error.) Mr. Goodanzn—lire you sure? Mother—Quite sure. That's his age. Mr. Goodman—Put him on a stool, officer, and then, per. haps, we shill lie able to see him. • The boy was then placed on • stool, and did not seem to be at all ashamed of his position despite his precocity, or, , P in consequenoe of it. e rt a R. Carden—That child does not seem more than six, and yet you talk about not being able to keep him at home. Why don't you seqd him to school! Mother—We do send him, but be nine away ; and when we shuts him up at home he gets out somehow, and gets along with a bad lot, who, I dare say, hare taught him to beg. We have I assure your worship, and it isn't our fault at all. Bir iCbarden—lan't it. You'll find that you are an ...amble for it,. The law makes the parental answerable for their children ; and It is a vet? , good provision too. Mr. Goodman—lf you don t keep him out of the streets, the consequence will be that we shall take him away from you for Ave years. Mother (with a curtsey)--Oh, thank you, gentlemen. Mr. Goodman—Alt, but wait a minute, you'll not like it ea well an you think, for you'll have to pay for his main tenance. Mother—Well, we'll do our beat to keep him at home for the future. He sha'n't come here any more, I aesure you. Mr 8.. Carden— I shall gire him up to you on that arm ince ; but if he comes here again we shall carry out the law, depend upon it.

This was the examination meeting. The acoounts, prepared by Mr. Cooper, show unsecured debt' and liabilities of 5,1251. ; assets, 113/., in property, besides a large amount of debts (3,634/.), returned as doubtful, which are chiefly due from parties abroad, some of whom have suspended payment. Against profits of 1044, there were expenses of 600/. The bankrupts were in a deficiency at the beginning of 1857 of 518/. Mr. Blythe maid that the assignees had no objection to the bankrupts passing, but further information would be required as to the sums due on consignments, the whole of which were returned am doubtful. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the lunkrupts, undertook that this information should be given, and they gamed. IN to JOSEPH ALLISON CRANIL The bankrupt was a merchant of Bt. John's, New Bruns wick, late of Kim-street, Cheapeide. This was the exanii.. nation meeting. The liabilities are 15,9731., being those of the late finn of Crane and Co.—creditors to that amount not having concurred in the deed of assignment executed by the bankrupt and his late partner in October, 1857. Titers were also disputed claims on the late firm to the amount at 10,M4/. The assets are stated at 2411. Mr. Linklater asked that the bankrupt should pass. He had been in business in New Brunswick, and the books were still there ; but the assignees had no objection to his i ltr in Norr, for the assignees consented, and the bank rupt pared. DI KZ THOS. SHIVONDS. The bankrupt wee a merchant, of Cheepside. This was the sitting for proof. and choke. Mr. Reed took objection to a batch of proofs from Not tingham,on the ground that they were healed only "la the Court of Bankruptcy," instead of " In the Court of Bankruptcy, London." The Commissioner— That heading is sufficient. This court is, par excellence, the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Lawrence—Which, freely translated, may mean the most excellent Court of Bankruptcy. (A laugh.) Mr. Daunt, bill broker, of Broad.street, and Mr. Bailey, lace manufacturer, of Nottingham, were chosen trade assignees. Mr. Holmes is the solicitor under the proceed. ings. The bankrupt's liabilities are about 3,0001. ; assets uncertain. The bankrupt wu a mining aharebroker and dealer in shares, of Threadneedle street. He now came before the court on accounts showing debts of 1,343/., and liabilities 4 533/. ; meets returned at 641. The bankrupt was in a defi ciency at the beginning of 181n1 of 3661. ; his profits since that time had been 816/. ; expenses and losses, 1,606/. The liabilities to the extent of 5001. were in respect of the Sea, Fire, and Life Insurance Company, and the Kent Benefit Build ing Society, now in course of winding up, in which the bankrupt had 601E1435/es. After a short examination on some of the items in his accounts the bankrupt passed. THE LITTLE DOWN AND EBBEN ROCKS WINING AND MINERAL COMPACT (LIMITED). This company was incorporated in Nov., 185.4, its place of business bemg at 74, King William-street. A petition for winding up was recently presented by lideiNrs. Doubble, law stationers, of Serjeants -ma; and this was the day appointed for the bearing. Mr. Bagley, for the petitioners, stated that the proceed ing was taken under the act 19 Alla 20 Vic., cap. 47, sec. 56-58. The petitioners were judgment creditors, and the winding-up order was asked fur on the ground that the corn. pany was unable to pay its debts. Messrs. Doubble bad sued the company for a (laid of 293/. ; on the 25th of June they obtained judgment for that amount ; • writ of 6. fa. was directed to the sheriff of London, but was returned us satisfied, the sheriff certifying that there were no goods or chattels belonging to the company within his jurisdiction. He believed that there was no apposition to the onler being made. Mr. Waklrop, who rereesated other creditors, supported the prayer of tho petition. No one appared on behalf of the company. His Honour mid be had only to make the order, aseuming that all the proceedimp were regular . Mr. Begley rid this was so. Rowland Mule, of 9, Stanley-street, Pimlico, builder ; Robert Wade, 33, Lillingtonetreet, Pimlico, bricklayer, who was said to have fought Aaron Jones in 1860, and wee ; and Alfred Bridge, of 3, Bromell's-road, Clapham, baker, were with being drunk, and vaulting Mr. James Jack :ott,tillord of the Crown, Crants , urne-passage, and also with assaulting Sergeant George Silvcrtou, of the C divi sion, while assisting Mr. Jackson. From Mr. Jackson's evidence it appeared that the pri soners left his house that morning between four and five, with several others, to go to the fight between Tom Sayers and the Benicia Boy, and shortly a fter returned and caked fur gin and water, and a s li ght disp ute arising owing to his having charged • little more for if, in consequence of hie accommodating them by keeping his house open all night for them, Rowland Wade then called him • thief and • con victed thief, and struck • blow at him over the counter, and on his coming rouud the counter he gut a severe blow in the eyo and a kick in the groin. Two officers, who fortunately were in the house at the time, coming to his assistance, he was saved from possibly receiving more serious injury. Sergeant Silverton, 293 A division, but attached to the C division, and who was confirmed in most material points also by Sergeant Fov, said he was at the Crown that morn ing, in accordance with instructions, when he beard some dispute about some gin and water, in the course of which Bridge and Rowland Wade called Mr. Jackson • thief. A scuffle then ensued, and Mr. Jackson was pulled by the hair of the head. He (the sergeant) received a blow and fell, and when he got up Bridge pinioned his arms, while the others struck him, and he was knocked down several times, notwithstanding they knew he was an officer. The Wades were drunk at the time. Robert Wade, who had • fearful wound on his head, ash! he received • severe blow from Silvertott, who was betting the fight would not take place. This was denied by the sergeant, who said the blow was pmbably caused by 'his fal li ng against • stool in the melee. Mr. Jackson said that the prisoners' conduct was of • most desperate kind, and but for the police he did not know what would have happened, and that Bridge was un doubtedly the cause of the whole affair. Mr. Beadon said this was one of the brutalising effects of these fights, which were a perfect curse to the country, awl brought a stigma on the country. _ It was perfectly shock ing. He should fi ne the two Wades 3/. each, or a month, and Bridge 5/., or a month. William Henry, Osborne, aged 34, station-master, in the employ of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, was charged with feloniously embezzling the sum of 454, and various other sums of money he had received for and on ac count of the company. Mr. Gomm, from the office of Mr. Charles Young, soli citor, defended the prisoner. . . Mr. Ashley, solicitor, who conducted the prosecution, said the prisoner had been for some time acting as the station.master at the Eastern Counties Railway goods sta. tion at Blackwell, and great confidence was reposed in him. That confidence was much abused, awl the prisoner was a defaulter to a large amount. It was the prisoner's duty to send in his accounts of receipts and disbursements every fortnight to the cashier at the principal office in Shoreditcli. It had been ascertained upon An inspection of the prisoner's accounts that for three successive Satuniays he hadchargel in his accounts for extra wages the respective sums of 45!., 26/., sad 9fit. over and above what he ought to have done, thereby defrauding the company of Iffif. There was a second chow of cases he had to bring forward against the prisoner where he had received cheques for various amounts from firms with whom the company did buninem, and ac counted for a smaller amount than he had received. r. YersUey remanded the prisoner until Monday next. NZWCABTLE, AMYL 17. —The weather still continue, add and unseasonable, the wind stall blowing from the east.

The week'. import is 59,172 bale COTTON 0001n8. —llcsciinicfna, APRIL 17.—The con tinued inactivity of the raarket war curiously exemplified to-day by the course of conversation on the Exchangs,which ran much more decidedly on "the great fight,' as it is called, than ou essiniueirial toMcs. The market has, indeed, been extremely flat. The high rates of discount are stop ping the trade for India altogether, and the whole business in 40-inch ahirtings has been confined to the better class of theme gool suited to China; the transactions for this branch of the Eastern trade even being confined to purchases of very moderate extent. In addition to the depressing effect of the high discounts, the state of the cotton market is seriously calculated to influence buyers to inactivity, the large stocks now accumulated leaving a constant tendency to lower prices and encourage hopes of a corresponding declension in the value of yarns and cloths. Many buyers are ostensibly holding back in this view of the case, and are only giving orders to meet pressing wants. This applies to cloths both for home and export markets, and nothing but the large contracts still uncompleted in the hands of manufacturers prevents a se rious decline in prices. In yarns there has been quite as dull a market as that for cloths, but there has been very little giving way for any class of these go ids. Spinners ap- pear to think that by pertinaciously hulling on to their late quotations they shall weather the present lull, but buyers are quite as sanguine the other way, and the current business is much restricted. For India there is less busineet, probably from a desire to wait for the telegrams now due in anticipation of the overland mail. WOOLLEN.—LEgoe, APRIL 17.—We have had no fea ture of importance in the market this morning. A fair steady business was done, mostly in summer fabrics. The attendance was au average one. WOOLS. —HUDDZILIFIELD,A PSIL 17.

MANUFACTURES. —HtIDI/Elle/IEL% APRIL I7.—The market today has been duller than usual, the only branch in which there is any amount of busing& doing being fancy tree/68rings and noddle unions fur shipping.

OORN.—Hum., APRIL 17.—At to-day's market a small supply of English wheat, which is taken off by Its-al millers at 2s. per qr. over last week's prices. Foreign held firmly at the advsnce noted during the week, but business some what restricted. Barley supports Lite rates, with a good damn , ' for both malting and grinding. Beans and p.m meet with buyers at fully former currency. Oats seams, and rather dearer. The foreign imports last week are as under :—Whest, 532 qrs. ; barley, 21,025 ; oats, $l6 ; beam 1347 ; tares, 30'2 ; linseed and rapeseed. 4,321 ; ml rakes, 386 tons ; bones, 645 tons.
