LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THU DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Beton Vio•Chasoolior air W. page Wood.) _ - 711 g ATIVIN 4 IT.4III3II[I4I. r. nit aural. c 0 LLD:2 ur SL:M.EONS. TIM CAA, Or THE A Pull' te.% Rtzr. This was 'demurrer toe information and bill promoted awl filed by the " llaster, Warden., and Society of the Art awl Mystery of Apothecaries of the City of loadon," and having for its object to restrain the College of Physicians Teen 'amnia; any license which purported to authoiise the licentiate to compound and supply for gain the medicines lie ire-critics, win any other way to exercise the calling of an apothecary, or which purported to establish a new order of medical eractitioners. The information then set forth the engin of the College of Physicians, in the reign of Henry V lIL , and detailed the various charter', and statutes under which that body has since been governed It pointed out that the members of the college consisted of two dal sea, " fellows' and " licentiates," both of which, however, were known to the politic under the general name of physician.. The distinctive features of the practice of the members and nti.ites of the College of Physicians consisted in this, that they gave advice simply, and did not compound or semi the medicines which they advised their patients to tike. In this state of thing., there M5OllO in the medical pr..f,siion a third class of practitioner, who advised sad Poll medicines to their patients -these were the &path,- carol., sometimes known as general practitioners. By a charter of James I. the plaintiffs, the A.,-.othecaries Company, were 'ru ed , and by their exerti o ns th ee ruse., the status opothecaries sod increased their ccrierd efficieacy. About the year 1815 the Apothecaries Company made as effort to put the general regulations of the profession on • sounder footing, and to induce the Colleges of Physicians and Su to join with them to that eat This attempt failed, but the Apothecaries Com pany obtained the Nagano( La act increasing their ply/emu a governing telly over their own branch of the prefesinoo. In the year ISTot the general Medical Act passed, sad • medical council was establiahol. The inf o rmati c s having ia set forth the facts above stated, proceeded with the follow ing allegation ,„ The defendants have recently cosoeived the scheme of erecting the present licentiates into members of the college by establishing a new class of practitioners to be Brewed 17 the defendants, and they intend that such new clam shall commence practice at an earlier age than, and be inferior io qualifications and attainments to, the present dew of fellows and honitiates of the said college, and they intend to grant to such new class licenses purporting to snow them to act as apothecaries, or to compound and supply fur gain the medicines th e y prescribe. It then stated various steps on the part of the College of Physi ciass in furtherance of this plan, the most note. worthy of which was a resolution passed as the I.th April, lftrio—" That the colle ge w ill grou t li cences t o prectia. , p h ysic y. to Persons who shall not tie restricted by any brides rem supplying mnlicinestn their patienta,4ll.l who shall be eatitled to register under the Medical Act as licen tiates of the College of Physicians." Mr. It. Palmer, in support of the demurre r , con t en d e d that the bill di;chased no case for the interference of • mart of equity ; that there was DO imirdicti. on in th e c o urt to interfere; sad, ma if there were, that the court would have the are to he tried at law.

Mr. Lush argued that there could he no legal Impel. soonieut without a record of some hied, though in this case there was so writing at all. The Habeas Corpus io cooteniplated that any p erson h av i ng 'may is custody should have some decreer tethering him to do so, in order that he might return it in answer to the writ. Further it was quite tee testy to the spirit of the English l aw that say person should b• committal to prison without having a proper hearing. which there had nut been in this caw, for the proctors and their race had said what they lied to may to the Vice.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1861. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERK ENW'ELL. ATTONTT TO IfORDIR A POLICOIAS lIT INIXOLARAL Jaw Edwards, a hawker, sod William Lester, who said be was of no occupation, two tall powerfully-built fellow', who gm Wee addresses, were placed at the bar before Mr. Barker, charged with having in their possession a number of bousebreakiog implements, attempting to enter home:, sod also with committing a rfiurderons *vault on police-eonstable Stammers, I:iti N, in the execution of his duty. Mr. John Wakeling, of the firm of Messrs. J. and T. Wakeling, appeared for the prisoners. From the evidence it appeared that Police constables Stammer., 1:16 N. and Newbold, 1M N, who were both in plain clothes, saw the prisoners loitering about, in corm From with another man , near th e A nge l, at Islington. their suspicious movements they were induced to watch them, and saw them go along the Liver poobroad to Arundel square, where they tried to enter • home by means of false keys. Not succeeding in this they proceeded to the backs of some unfinished houses, and after the lapse of a short time two out of the three men were seen on the top of the roof of one of the houses. When the men caniedowo the two primates were seized by the police, when a most desperste struggle ensued, and both the con stables were much maltreated by the prisoners. The constable Stammers was knocked down with a crowbar, and when that was lost one of the prisoners said,with an oath, that he would be the death of the constables, and attacked them savagely with a number of keys. After a great deal of trouble and with further assistance the prison s were got to the police station. On the constables' return to the place at which the struggle took place, they found • number of skeleton keys and other housebreak* implements. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoners until Monday next. MA ItLBOROUGH•WILEET. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAL) Two o'CLouc. The funds to-day are well supported, at yester day's closing quotations. The market is very quiet. The principal business has consisted of the settlement of the account in shares and foreign stocks, which will be completed this afternoon. The only move ment in prices of striking importance is a sudden rise of 1 per cent. in Great Western Railway stock, consequent upon a reported arrangement between this company and the West Midland. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68fr. 60c., being below the last price of yester day. Consols are officially marked 911 and for money, and 911 and 1 for the account. The present quotations are 911 to 1 fur money, and 911, "sellers," for the 9th of May. The official business report is as follows :—Bank Stock, 233, 232 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901 ; New Three per Cents., 90k, 90 ; India Stock, 224 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1011, 102, 1011 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1868, 981 ; ditto, 1859, 961, 1 ; ditto Bonds, 174., 12s. die. ; Five per Cent. " en faced" rupee paper, 94 ; ditto Five-and-s-Half per Cent., 1001 ; Exchequer Bills, 6e., 34., 23., ls., There is nn revival of business in the foreign stock market. The Turkish loan of 1854 has declined per cent., being quoted 70 to }, whilst that of 1858 stands at 531 to 54. In other respects there is no feature worthy of notice. Sales are re corded as follows :—DutchFour per Cent. Certificates, 981, 99 ; Portuguese Three per Cente.,lBs3, 471, 48Jr ; Russian Three per Ceuta., 1859, 62 ; Sar dinian Five per Cents., 81 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 491; the Committee's Certificates, 51 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 701; ditto Six per Conte., 1858, The Tyne has reached Lisbon from Brazil, with 104,0001. in specie. The present phase of the American revolution develops several points of commercial and finan cial interest. Amongst the Americans in London the belief in war appears to be almost general. The telegram states that at New Orleans British ships can now obtain Id, freight for cotton, whilst American ships arc refused freight at id., or less than half that charge. Coupled with this news comes a statement that President Davis "has issued a proclamation authorising letters of marque." One of the first consequences of the struggle will be that foreign, and particularly British ships, will monopolise the carrying trade between America and Europe and every other port. The next point is that the ex change at New York has fallen to 1061 per cent. for bankers' bills. This opens a prospect of some further, though probably moderate remittances of specie from this country. This tendency may be promoted by the fact that American shares Land other securities are again beginning to find their way to this side, where prices are rela tively higher than in the native markets. The heavy depreciation of all American securities on both sides of the Atlantic forms a consideration of prominent import ance, as it is calculated to improve the contending parties with a sense of the vast loss which the con flict will infallibly occasion. It is not doubted for • moment that even a six months' war would make an enormous addition to the debt both of the Federal and State governments. The prospect of • creation of stock to an indefinite amount has thrown down the prices of all exist ing issues to a serious extent. The Border States having now manifested • strong leaning towards seoession, their securities are particularly out of favour, as they are about to consort with the avowed repudiators of public obligations. Cana dian railway shareholders are looking with much interest to the probable effect of the present con vulsion in driving traffic through Canada. In the discount market the supply of money has somewhat diminished. The terms for good bills yesterday were 41 to 41 per cent. At the Bank of England, however, business was limited. In the Stock Exchange loans on English govern ment securities were obtainable at the moderate rate of 3 per cent. At Vienna on Saturday the exchange expe rienced a movement of 1 per cent, in favour of Austria, and it is understood that the course of the Bourse yesterday has been in the same direction, a more favourable impression being evidently enter tained by the Vienna financiers with regard to the prospects of peace. It may be useful to repeat that the Stock Ex change will be closed to-morrow, the let of May, according to custom. It is announced by telegraph that a bill for a loan of no less than 20,000,0001. sterling is about to be introduord into the Italian parliament. A portion of this large sum will probably he sought an France and perhaps another portion here. Only a small amount of gold was purchased from the Bank yesterday for exportatiou—via., 8,0001. The Seine, from the West Indies : has brought 467,5001. in silver and 19,6001. in gold. This large supply is not expected to be delivered to the bullion brokers for a week. The America, from Boston, has brought 2,7601. in specie, for Havre. The Africa took on Saturday only 2,3001. for New York. The amount shipped for Lisbon by the Alhambra was 10,0001. The news from America has not caused any further rise in cotton. The market at Liverpool yesterday was fi rm. The sale., amounted to 10,000 bales. The stoppage is announced of Mr. Thomas Dowling, timber merchant, of Gresham-house, Old Broad-street, Rotherhithe, and Birmingham, with liabilities computed at 40,0001. or 50,000/. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,7891., and the South Eastern an increase of 1,1581. The share list of the Natal Land and Coloniza tion Company has closed with applications to fire times the number of shares to be allotted. The Waverley has arrived from China with 313,0001 b.. of tea. With reference to the Malta and Alexandria and Red Bea Cables, the London and China Telegraph has the following The Malacca. with the first Fortino of the Malta and Alexandria cable. ham not yet left. The reports from the Mediterrannar are all favourable to the undertaking. Ne farther steps can, we understand, be undertaken by the Rad Sea Telegraph Company for the repair of the cable, until government has decided on the course to pursue in reference to its guaranteed dividend. It is quite probable that Government may take over the undertaking, and reim• bane the company for their pneent outlay. The small steamer Telegraph, lately despatched by the company to the Red Sea, will, we understand, be ordered to Rues or Bombay for sale. MONY m Consols, which closed on Saturda y p a t 914 1 t mo. o 92, for the 9th of May, opened this morning at 912 to 4, and closed without change. For money the last price was likewise 912 to 4. Thu official business report is as follows:-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 914, 4, ; ditto, for account (May 9), 912, 4, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 904, 90, 894, 90 ; New Three per Cents., 90, 4, 90; Bank Stock. 231, 233; India Stock, 222, 224 ; ditto Five Tier Cent. Stook, 102, 1014 ; ditto Bonds, 11s. dis. ; Five per Cent. " enlaced" rupee paper, 93 1 , ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 1001. The Indian Five per Cent. Stuck has been in leas demand for investment silvan its late rise, yet is firm at 1014 to 102, notwithstanding the announce melt just made of the creation of a further large =aunt in substitution for other forms of Indian debt. The Five per Cent. rupee paper remains quoted 931 to 94} ; and the Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 101 to +. A decline of Is. to 2e. occurred in Exchequer Bills, which closed at be. to 28. dia. The fc7noignstockniarket continues inactive, and vices exhibit no variation of importance. Bank shares today were steady. There were in quiries for London and County and Bank of Turkey. Mediterranean Extension Telegrap r l r i i iiiares were quoted slightly better. Madras • tion were fl at. Great Ship have recovered to 6d. to ss. The closing quotations for shares in new under ' takings to-day were as follows :—Ocean Marine In surance, to prem. ; Thames and Mersey Marine, to 14 prem. ' • Universal Marine Insurance, to 1 prem. ; L ondon and Provincial Marine, par to 1-18 rm. ; Last India Irrigation, 5-16 to 3-18 dis. and Natal Land, 11 to preen. Whilst American securities of all kinds fell, Canada Government Five per Cents. were in demand to-day and firm. - 7;64e, to 1 p.n. ni ti i a 111 I 00 i lIISI 19} :I 6 11 41 Z- pg -"' r• al 821 2- ...

And so it proved for before nom Mow and sleet rem and in the afternoon the hills and fields were in m ,ny places once again thinly covered with a wintry garment. The flakes of snow were unusually large— indeed, extraordinarily so—and fell thickly and unceasingly for some time. A more sudden arid complete champ, has rarely been experienred. So far as the mere fall of moisture was concerned, the snow and rain were rather welcome than otherwise, for the almost uninterrupted' dry weather throughout the mouth bad completely dried the surface soil of our fields, sod rendered rain desirable for the spring sown grain. A little more rain will do no harm. indeed it will do good, and • fall now will perhaps "bring down the cold." We trout we shall not have to record next week that the month of May hes "set in with its usual severity." It need hardly be added that the farmers have made good use of the dry wsestow. They have been bard at work, and to geed purpose. We are happy to my that cheering eseounte reech us of the improved appearance of the Buse mops. Orate and gram are alike rapidly improving.

I beg leave to ask him • question open a subject which I am oertaia to the whole of Europe. Your lordship; have all of you, from Ame te u ri r : re : h ca ad n , will may pain and on some e o b e u u b doubt , Sh o p detnacctonh no t tenityvhiwaltevhwie:i th is seen h h a a °7 a s wa il v ei g gt :althis h t broken i irt 7, between the Secessionists and the other States of America. Fortunately, op to this moment, no blood, or hardly any blood, has been shed, sad I think too much praise cannot be bestowed on the commander of the fleet, who abstained from entering into a useless contest, which could only envenom the hostile spirit of both parties My lords, it is impossible that a contest such as is now threatened—so unnatural as it is and so fatal to the parties themselves—should not have its reverberation throw& the rest of the world ; and no country per hap, more than this is likely to suffer from that civil war. Apart from those feelings which we all mast naturally have of seeing with the deepest regret a deplorable contest between persons of the same fa- Indy, of the same Mood, and of the same language, our poli tical and our material interests are deeply involved in the question of this unfortunate schism. Now, my lords, cannot but believe that her Majesty's government, feeling as all others of her Majesty's subjects meet do on this matter, must have already done their utmost to bring about official means some arrangement which may avert so terribh • calamity. I therefore wish to ask what her Majesty's gofers meat have done with regard to this subject, whether they hem attempted yet to prevent the quarrel between the different parts of that country from conning to • bloody mime ; what hopes they entertain of mama is so laudable a proceeding ; and whether they have invited or are iu correspondence with any other European government for the purpose of attempting to stop, at the commencement, a civil war, the end of which, if its once begun, it will be impossible to foresee? Lord WODEROUSE—My lords, I need scarcely say to my noble friend that in common with him, and I may my with every one of her Majesty's subjects, we have NM with the deepest regret and concern the dissensions which have taken p la ne in the United States ; and we have re ceived with equal concern the inte ll igence which my noble friend has seen, that these dimensions have brought that country already to the brink of civil war. That civil war may now be said to have already broken out. And, my lords, as to the question whether any steps have been fakes by her Majesty's governmentto arreatthespreadof thatgreat calamity— for great calamity no doubt it is, not only to the Americans themselves, but also to others who are connected with them, as we are, by tits of kindred—her Majesty's government have anxiously considered whether there were any steps by which they might arrest so great • calamity, but on mature consideration they have been of opinion that it would not be desirable that this country should intrude its advice and counsel upon the government of the hated States. (Hear, hem.) However great may be the interest which we feel, and however anxious we may be to avert this misfortune impending over the United States, west feel that • free and independent nation m ight not welcome advice in its internal a ff airs, if t act vice should be proffered without being silted for. The instructions therefore which were given to Lord Lyons were that upon every fitting occasion he should express the earnest desire of her Majesty's government that the differences which prevailed between the Northern and Southern States should be arranged, but he has net been in structed to give either officially or officiously any counsel or advice, unless that counsel or advice should be inked for by the contending parties themselves. That is the answer which I have to give to the question of my noble friend, and It naturally follows that haw Majesty's government are not, and hairs not been, in corm poodence with any foreign government as to the steps to be taken to prevent the outbreak of civil war in the United States. RAGGED SCHOOLS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that, in deference to the wish of his noble friend opposite, he bad consented to postpone till Monday next a motion of which be bad given notice on the subject of ragged schools. He wished to state that the Committee of Council on Education had recently published a report, containing a very strong statement oar demnatory of ragged schools, awl it was absolutely nearery that that published statement should be hammered by • public refutation, pointing out its untrustworthy character. QUEEN'S PRISON, Sc., BILL. On the motion of F•ri DE GitnY and Itirox, tble bill was read • second time. POSTAFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILL.

After a abort conversation, some verbal amendments were node in the clause. The bill vas then reed third time, and passed.

FORBTER wished to ask the hon. member for Galway whether he intended to bring forward the midis& of which he had given notice for to-morrow, rreessppeeccting the recognition by this country of the Southern(: onfederacy. Mr. GREGORY said he had received that day a otimmu. ideation from the Foreign Secretary upon the subject, and as the noble lord considered that his bringing forward the motion at present might be embarrassing to the public ser vice, he was prepared to postpone it for a fortnight, what the noble lord thought it might be conveniently introduced. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Colonel Tanen, • new writ wa• ordered to issue for the election of • memi,er for Mont g•mery, in the room of Mr. David Pugh, deceased. THE BERWICK. ELECTION COMMISSION. Mr. HODGSON rose to ask the AttorneyGeeeral whether he had formedan opinion upon the report of the her wick-upon-Tweed ekctiou commission, and what steps he intended to take in regard to it. He had received a letter from the secretary to the commission, which, as it effected his own personal character, he had desired to read, but he was infora.ed by the Speaker that it would not be in accord ance with the rules of the house for him to do so. The SPEAKER rid if the hoe. gentleman considered his honour questketed , no doubt the house would gr.nt per. mission to reed the letter. Mr. HODGSON mid it was a matter affecting his per sonal character, as the commissioners had stated thou he ...,any at bribery. FILENCH rums to order. He wished to know if it was in accorlinee with the mazer of the house that a member should give explanations of what occurred adieu he was net a member. The llYEAliEtt said that In strict order tee hoe. limber should ountiee himself to putting his questiou, but whets the hon. member mid that his personal honour soil chanscter were involved, it was not for him to interfere. (Hear. hear.) Mr. HODGSON mid he was surprised at being interrupted in the short statement he had to make by the lieu. t.eisiber for Roscommon. He ruse for the purpose of repuet:og the question which had been put the other swede,: to the Home Secretary, and asking from the Attorney- General whether the law officers of the crown, after reeding the evidence and report io regard to the election of Berwick-oe-Tweed, had formed any opinion ea the subject, and if au what steps they were prepare.' to take. The ATTOP.NEY-GENERA L said he had 1..4 the honour of receiving& placard- (the boo. gentleman laid a long printed placard on the tabled—and letter from the hou. gentlcreaa that day. The placard he had hero wields to awl - ilw..elt ter)—sor had he time to consider the letter. (Litu . ,diter.) If it wee material to do so the hoe. geutleenan w0u..1 per ham repeat his questtou to.inerrow. (Laughter.) If he did not deem it material he was reedy to give so answer now. (Laughter.) But he must tiret explain to the hon. p th r. e gave no directions on the go c v a e ted rau tre l hoo.. member it would stn his own respon s ibility—(laughter ) — if he forbore to suree sgeuhnjteclemtanltfhl:se cute and tried him at the nest assizes it would be ou the like responsildlity. (Laughter.) He w o uld now to n the bon.gentleman the conclusion at which he had wired. He read the report and the evidence carefully, and it appeand to him that the conclusion that the bor. member wee guilty of bribery was founded first ott the evidceoe el a man Denied who wee alleged to Dive b e ,.. a a agent of the hon. member. (Laughter.) • Ile wee stated to be a necessary witness, but he absconded— (laughter)—he was not forthcoming, and initial Attorney- General could not get at him — (laughter)—and if he had him lie could not make him speak. (Renewed leughter.) The conclusion was in the neat place founded on the state ment of the hon. member himself ; but ho could got make nee of that in a crindeal prosecution against him. (Laughter.) Now he should *battle from speaking lii" own opinion as to the accuracy of the conclusion to which the emindmioners hadarrived, but as be considered it lute duty II he K. Jr As - V d
