The entire dyke is specially speci fi ed in his royal cbart e r, an d is as much a part of the entailed estate as Gordon Castle itself ; soil the Lonl Advocate might with equal justice pro pse to take • railway through the castle without giving him compensation, as to take away the enure dyke, whi c h he propose, to do be this bill. If stake and bag nets are supposed to be illegal in the sea, the limper course is to t r y the question at law. The details of the bill were such that in its praise' shape they could nut be worked. The district which com prises the Spey went from Inverness to near Edinburgh, sad although he represented a large interest in salmon t.hinp, it was quite possible he might have on voice at the sad money reamed on his property might he spent e rivers near Perth, and siot a shilling upon the Spey. He thought that the form in whi c h legislation should premed was by proteeting the breeding fish, and giving a weekly slap.

(Bence Vim-Crimeator Sir J. Stuart.) TSB TIIPLIWit or •UsTILIA V. D•T •.YD 10..inT11. JUDGMLIT. The Vice•Chana•llor (in delivering judgment in this owe this morning) said the plaintiff sued in his sovereign cha racter of King of Hungary, and asked the assistance of the court to prevent an injury of a public kind against what he asserted to be his legal right, which he claimed as the acknowledged possessor of the sovereign power of a nation at peace with this kingdom. It appeared that the dole.- daata, Mews. Day and Kossuth, had manufactured • vast quaatity 01 printed paper purporting to be bank notes of the National Beak of Hungary, for circulation, as the paper sa•ey a Hungary ; and the question was whether the &Andante could be allowed by the court to remain in peamosioo of that vast quantity of paper so manufactured, or whether the plaintiff was entitled to have that paper delivered up for the purpose of being cancelled. It had been contended for the defendenta that the Court of Chan cery bad no jurisdiction io such a awe u the present, in which the wrong alleged was • public wrong, and not re cognisable by the law of England, because it related to the public political affairs of a foreign nation ; that a foreign sovereign might sue in revert of a right of property; but that the question in the present ems did not relate to • right of property, but to • public right which was subject to the Diet of Hungary. The regulation of the coin, how- ever, wan a high prerogative right of the sovereign power and not • question of municipal right or law, but • public right recognised by the law of nation., and was a ' legal right, iussimuch as the law of nations was • part of the law of England. In • modern edition of " Blackstone' it had been laid down that whenever any question are** the law of natiots was adopted by and held part of the laws of the land, and acts of parliament were to be considered merely as declaratory of the old and fundamental law of the had. Applying that principle to the presentees*, it appeared that the British parliament, by an act of the 11th of George IV., enacted that the counterfeiting the paper money of foreign states should be considered to be and punished se • felony—that was • recognition of the jurisdic- tion of the court to punish offences against the paper-money of any foreign states. It appeared from the affidavit of Kos suth that the plaintiff was in the possession of the supreme power in Hungary, and that the paper in question had been manufactured not with the intention of being used im mediately for the purpose for which it was manufactured, the plaintiff having such present power, but that it wee intended to be used for purposes adverse to the rights of the plaintiff when those rights should be overthrown. It had been manufactured for no other purpose. and noble war materials, ho., could only be used for that pur pose. If this court were to refuse its inter foresee it would amount to • decision that the eourt had no power to maintain the plaintiff's legal right. It had been contended that the plaintiff's right was not an absolute right, but one subject to the Diet ef Hungary ; but similar rights is England, sad in all other countries, were subject to some metro!, but they were not Imo actual rights, and it :was at the suit of the sovereign that such rigida last be metaled. It was further mid that Kossuth intsndd to overthrow the plaintiff's rights, and when such had ham done, that be would be entitled to as the ear, sad therefere the eeurt could not interfere. It As suacient ti mower to that arpr•snt to say that the court could deal only with exiarting law and Wain go. cernmette, by which alone the laws could be seamed, and lAA were oneential to the administration of joshes and the =Materna of civil society. If, therefore, the plaintiff had a tool right which the delwd•at wee injuries, the plaintiff went be protected by the court. Foreign slake at pews with this country had always been held entitled to the amistatne of the laws of England for the protection of their rights; sad even someap powers under • revolutionary state of Aenambeas, if the revo latiosary government had Men recognised by this governmeatlead hail their dear protested, es is the case of the cenallicia for the libel spina the Finn Co•eul of Frames, sad the conviction of Lord Heap Oman fee libel. that where, u io the prima emti the exiting right of the plaintiff as somereiga King a Hamm had been rem- Wad, the Zing of Hungary Is entitled to the praseition al the mart, and that statistics meld say be afforded by • dame for the plaintiff in acoordamee with the prayer of the bill.

The funds to-day are dull, at yesterday's closing quotations, with very little busineKs. Attention is directed to the coming settlement. English railway stocks continue to decline, owing to the apprehen sion of a decline in traffic. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Relates opened at 69fr. 10c., being Sc. lower than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 91/ and 1 for money, and 911 and for the account. The present quotation i 51915 to both for money and the 9th inst. The official business report is as follows :—Bank Stook, 234, 232, ; Three per Cents.

The foreign stock market is quiet. Turkish Bonds are lees dealt in, yet are steady ; the Loan of 1854 is quoted 71 to 7Z and that of 1858, 561 to 57. Mexican Bonds remain heavy. Sales are recorded as fol lows :—Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 871 ; Mexican Three per Cents., 234 ; ditto for account, 234, 1, ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 421, 4 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 714 ; ditto Six per ICeuts., 1858, 571, 57 ; ditto for account, 561, 57; Venezuela Three per Cents., 191. The Tyne has arrived from Brazil with 104,0001 in specie. HALF-PAST Two o'Otoca. Coma' are still quoted 911 to 1, both for money and the account. About 5,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank yester day, and more is expected to follow, in the aboeuce of active inquiry for the Continent. The 126,0001. by the CalilUloo will be delivered to-day. The ar- rival was announced yesterdayof the Empress of the Seas, from Melbourne, with 20,0001. The arrival of the large supply of silver by the Mexican packet obviates the necessity of importations from the Continent, and of shipments of gold from this aide to pay for it. The demand for silver for the East is not active, and the market for this metal is eon sequently very fiat, at a reduction in price. The continental exchanges yesterday afternoon were again firmer, with a favourable tendency. The exoeption was in the Austrian exchange, which con tinues to decline, in proportion as the prospects of pesz ag e: , :c:/e.

As it was understood that the arrangement& for sustaining the embarrassed houses in the Levant trade have not been entirely successful, consider able anxiety was evinced yesterday. It transpired that the bills of six houses in this branch of business bad been refused payment in the morning, the bankers' direction being "Present again at 2 o'clock." We are glad to be able to state that at that hour the whole of the bills were met except by one important house, that of Masses. P. Have and 00., who have suspended payment. This course is considered the moat ad visable under the present difficult circumstances, although Messrs. Maya and Co. are understood to I possess a large surplus. Their direct liabilities will probably reach 120,0001. It will be recollected that a house of the same name stopped payment at Mar seilles a few days ago. The exertions made by the Greek firms are of the moat remarkable and credit able character. In the case of the Faringdon and Wantage Bank (of Messrs. Barnes, Medley, and Co.), which stopped payment on the 10th April, Messrs. Harding, Mullein, and Co. have issued notices of the payment of the first dividend of fis. in the pound. The dividend is payable to-day (4th instant), at both the Faringdon and Wautage branches. _ . The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 492/. At the meeting to-day of the Assam (Tea) Com pany the directors' report, which announced a steady improvement in the affiiirs of the company, was unanimously adopted. The dividend declared was at the rata of 12 per cent., free of income tax. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, May 1, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue Circulation active Public deposits 6,578,01 Increase 820,916 Other deposits 11,180,811 Demean 1,4Z4,264 Government securities la falkingdepart;sent 10,272,038 No thane.

The decline of more than half a million in the re serve is principally caused by the heavy decrease in the private deposits. The decline in the bullion arises chiefly fro... the decrease of 177,4061., which has taken place iu the amount of silver bullion. The Indian government are shipping to India the silver lately contracted for with the Bank. The Ocuette specie statement for the week ending Wednesday last gives the following totals, viz.: Imports of gold, 74,4791. ; exports of gold, 202,1731. ; imports of silver, 696,580/. ; exports of silver, 382,2891.

DESTRUCTION 01 COTTINORAW CASTLE BY We are sorry to state that the INDIOIDOII of John Bs& demon Harkwortb, EAR., situate at Cottingham Castle, was lest night entirely destroyed by fire. The fire seems to have originated about midnight, but from what cause we are at present unable to explain. As soon as it was found that the individual efforts of those pre seat on the premises were not sufficient to subdue the tames, a messenger was dispatched to Hull for the fire engines. He arrived here about half-pest 1 a.m., and speedily two engines were got in readiness. The Yorkshire, with four horses, ender Mr. Holmes, and another under the management of If,. Priesick, at ouce set off from Hall and arrived at the scene of the eater tropbe about half-past 2 o'clock. The entire castle was then found to be enwrapt in flames. There was no water to be got near except from an antiquated draw well about tiO or 70 feet deep. The engines therefore dial not get into play, and the flames completely gutted the mantle, leaving but the bare walls itaxiding. Some portions of furniture, we believe, were saved, bet the majority of the valuable property has been destroyed. Mr. 13arkworth was present during the whole of the proceeding ; and we are informed the, in reply to a question, he was heard to any that he believed there was no Marne to be attached to any one. This is the wend time tkittinghsim Castle has been destroyed by fire. Is 1541 we learn that it was made a sacrifice of by a 'subject in order to avert the consequences apprehended fmm the contaminating presence of the licentious Henry VILI.—.
