EVENING, MAY 17, 1169, LAW INTELLIGENCE.(THIS DAY.) COURT DF EXCHEQUER. (Before Yustices Willians, Erle, Crompton, Crowder, Hill, tnd Willes.) IVILIIAMS V. SMITH. • This was a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer. It arose under the Intergeader Act, and the question raised was, whether Irish,cattle and pears, to the value of £309 19s. 6d., bona fide purchased by the plaintiff in June, 1856, is to be prejudiced by en unexecuted writ of fa. in the hands of the Sheriff of Gloucestershire. Their Lordships wore unanimously of opinion that the decision of the Court of Exchequer finding that the Act had no retrospective operation, and that thefi. fa. in the hands of tho Sheriff before the ps3sing of the Act was preferable to the purchaser's claim. The decision of the Court of Exchequer was affirmed with costs. Their lordships re lied chiefly on the decision in the case of Woolley v. Jack son (Queen's Bench), and held that the rule of construction, that the general words in an act were not to be construed retrospectively was right COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) His Honour sat to-day for the first time since his long and severe illness, and was congratulated by Mr. Lawrence on behalf of himself and the practitioners of the court. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. To-day was appointed for an audit meeting under the estate of the Royal British Bank, but the proceedings passed off without discussion or remark, and no accounts were exhibited; nothing, therefore, will transpire in court until a dividend meeting is held. GENERAL PEEL AND Sl IN RE T. 8 FRYER. This bankrupt was described as of Chatteris, in the Isle of Ely, brickmaker, and to-day was appointed for his last examination. The accounts by Mr. March show : Debtor to creditors, £1,364 Ios. ; to ditto, holding security, £6,200 ; surplus, October, 1857, £857 ; profits, £871; rents received, £304. Creditors' general debts, £162; doubtful, £B3 ; property, £3,115 ; ditto, in hands of creditors, £6,990 ; trade expenses, £773 ; house and personal, £749. • - Messrs. Abbott, New-Inn, were the solicitors to the assignees, and Mr. Law, of Gray's Inn, for the bankrupt. The examination was adjourned for two months by consent. IN RE SIMS AND SIMS. These bankrupts were described as of Fish-street-hill, merchants, and now came up to pass their last examination on accounts by Mr. S. T. Cooper, showing—Debtor to creditors unsecured, £4,021 Bs.; to ditto holding - security, £I,OOS, eapwar, - Anglist, 18 - 5 - a , - 1207. - The assets are tet down las 7 -good debts, £176 ; property, £406 ; ditto in the hands of creditors, £2,000; ditto in the hands of liability creditors, £201; the trade expenses are set down at £500; and partners' drawings, W. R. Sims, £Bl7, and A. R. Sims, £222 ; the liabilities, which are on bills receivable, amount to £3,535. The bankrupts passed. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) THE METROPOLITAN SALOON OMNIBUS COMPANY.-PETI TION UNDER THE WINDING-UP ACT. --EX PARTE THOS. HAWKINS. To-day was appointed for hearing a petition filed by a Mr. Thomas Hawkins, a shareholder of 150 shares, for the winding up of the affairs of this company, on the ground that three-fourths of the capital had been absorbed, and no dividend had been paid. Mr. Roxburgh appeared as counsel, and Mr. Clarke, Bed ford -row, as solicitor for the petitioner ; and Mr. Sargood as counsel, and Mr. Pope, the secretary to the company. Witnesses were ordered out of. court, and the learned counsel (Mr. Roxburgh) addressed the Court on the figures of the case, saying that if he convinced the Court on that point, that the capital, or three-fourths of it, had been ab sorbed, it would not be necessary to go further. The case was proceeding when we went to press. SHERIFFS' COURT. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY V. HOLMES. Mr. Ashley appeared for the company, and Mr. Pearce, of Giltspur street, for the defendant, who is a salesman, of Newgate-market. The amount sought to be recovered was £ll4s. 5d., carriage of certain meat to defendant. Mr. Minnot, collector to the Railway Company for 15 years, said that defendant's clerk had paid him an amount (16s. 9d.), being the balance of a former charge for car riage, on the day of the contracting of the present debt, but he had not paid the amount now sought to be reco vered. Cross-examined by Mr. Pearce—Witness had applied to several other persons in the market for the amount, £1 14s. sd. He was £1 15s. short in his accounts, which sum defendant never paid him. Mr. Pearce then called George Mortlock, clerk to de fendant, who positively swore that he paid defendant £1 14s. sd. on the Ist of April, and that amount was the sum now sought to be recovered. He paid it in the follow ing coins :—One sovereign, one half-sovereign, and 4s. 6d. in silver, and Mr. Minnot returned him ld. His Honour said the onus of proving that the amount was due was upon plaintiff, and the agent of the company had admitted that he applied to several other persons for this amount. Defendant's clerk swore he had paid the amount, and plaintiff's agent not having clearly proved his case, and there being only one witness against ths defen dant, he (his Honour) considered that defendant was en titled to a judgment. Plaintiff nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. CABBY AND THE LAWYER.—James Lambert, driver of a " Shoful," appeared in support of a summons issued against Mr. Hubbard, a solicitor of Bucklersbury, for the recovery of his (complainant's) fare. The: complainant said that he was hired by defendant, who was driven to his own house in Bucklersbury. Upon arriving at this place defendant got out and told plaintiff to wait. After waiting two hours, plaintiff went into the office occu pied by defendant and was then told that he had been paid, and that he had not been directed to wait by defendant. Defendant said that when he wished to alight from plaintiff's cab he pushed up the small trap in the roof of the vehicle, and put the fare, Gd., through the hole. He was told to wait, and was induced to offer a small sum as com pensation to the cabman, to remunerate him for waiting se long, perhaps under a wrong impression. Upon plaintiff being insolent, defendant refused to give him anything. In answer to his lordship, plaintiff said that he gave Mr. Hubbard no ticket. His Lordship said that plaintiff had, through such neglect, laid himself open to the infliction of a penalty. The summons must be dismissed. Mr. Hubbard—l will now say that is the second attempt upon me within the last few days. His Lordship—You are entitled to the thanks of the pub lic for resisting all attempts at extortion. The parties then left the court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY OF A GOLD WATCH, RINGS, &C., AT A FENCING -ROOM. - Augustus Sterring, a carpenter, of 3, St. Martin's-street, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing, at the fencing-rooms of Mr. Arnold, 118, New Bond-street, a gold watch and gold Albert ehain, two gold rings, the latter the property of the Rev. Robert Stafford, and also with having in his possession some brass fittings, the property of Mr. Arnold. Joy, 338 A, a detective, said that on the previous after noon he received information that several robberies had been committed at 118, New Bond-street, and at six in the evening he watched the prisoner leave the premises, and followed him to 67, Princes-street, a jeweller's, where he saw him offer a gold ring for sale, and on going in and asking where he got it from he made no reply. He then told him he was a constable, and asked if he had not got another ring in his pocket. He then took a ring from his pocket, and also a card-case containing three duplicates, one relating to a gold watch, one to a gold Albert chain, and the other to a bed. On searching him at the station he found on him some brass fittings. At his lodgings he found also another ring, which he said he found in the dirt from the shop. The Rev. Robert Stafford, of 10, Portland-road, Regent's • park, said the two gold rings produced he left on the man telpiece at Mr. Arnold's, on Saturday last, while he was taking his exercise, and on sending for them on Monday morning they were not forthcoming. Mr. James Arnold, fencing-master, of 118, New Bond street, said the prisoner had been employed by him for about two months ; the brass fittings were his property, but he did not miss them till that morning. Joy having asked for a remand, that the property at the pawnbrokers' might be produced, the prisoner was re manded. COAST DEFENCES.—On Saturday orders were received at Chatham for the 18th Company of Royal Engi neers to proceed to Weymouth, for the purpose of being employed in putting the line of coast in the neighbourhood in a thorough state of defence, and erecting batteries and earthworks for the mounting heavy guns in those parts which are now unprotected. The defence of the arsenal at Pembroke and the protection of Milford Haven appear to have engaged the attention of the authorities for new works for the bette r f or tifi ca ti on o f th ese important posts are to be immediately commenced. Solid works are to be erected upon Popton Point, and upon ground contiguous to Conjuick. The Great Head, commanding the entrance to the Haven, is also to be fortified. BONNY, WEST COAST OF AFRICA.—The King of the territory of Bonny, Western Africa, accompanied by Mr. Richard Thwaites, has lately had an interview with the Bishop of London, with a view of providing for the introduction of Christianity into that country, which, with its - dependencies, forms a very extensive area, and contains a large population, and which, since the aboli tion of the slave trade in 1841, must have in_Teased to an enormous extent, as previously to that year 20,000 slaves were annually exported from thence, about a proportion of one-sixth of the w h o l e exportation from the Western Coast of Africa. Upon the abolition of slavery, which was entirely suppressed, and has never since been revived, the popula tion has been employed principally in the production of palm oil. The king has been baptised into the Christian faith, and since confir me d , accord i ng t o the rites of the Established Church, and he is a regular attendant, on Sun day morning, at St. Paul's Cathedral.—. Record. J. URAH4.III. DONCASTER .RACES.-(THIS DAY.) We are requested to publish the following corre spondence : " War-office, May 14. "Dear Sir James Graham,—l have waited in hope that you would have contradicted a statement reported to have been made by you in your speech at Carlisle, on Monday last, to the effect, That in order to influence the elections the War Depart ment, by an act of prerogative, Parliament not sit ting, had increased the allowance to publicans for soldiers billeted on them from 11-d. to 4d.' " Now, this is not only untrue, but if you stated it, I must leave you to explain how it was possible for you not to have known that it was not true. In addition to your long Parliamentary experience and knowledge of everything connected with the army, you, when First Lord of the Admiralty, must have brought in the Marine Mutiny Bill, and must have known that the allowance to publicans for Soldiers and marines billeted on them is fixed by the Mutiny Bill. You must also have known that last session a Parliamentary committee inquired into the billeting system, and recommended in their report that the allowance should be raised from 11d. to from 4d. to 6d. ; that I was asked publicly in the house on the 7th of February, this year, whether it was the intention of the Government to carry this recommendation into effect, and that I answered that it was their intention to raise it to 4d., but that it could not be done until the Mu tiny Bill was brought in ; that again on the 7th of March, on the Army Estimates, I made the same statement, and that Parliament voted the extra sum required for the payment of it, and that on bringing in the Mutiny Bill I pointed out that the only material alteration in it was the increased allowance to the publicans. The Mutiny Bill passed before there was any idea of a dissolution, and the War-office Circular, directing the payment of the additional allowance, was issued previous to the dissolution. " Your statement about the castle or barracks at Berwick is equally incorrect ; but, although you made it, I think you admitted that you could not say that it could be proved. _ I am not inclined to criticise too narrowly elec tion speeches, but when charges of this nature are made against a public department it is necessary that they should be publicly contradicted, and I shall be glad to accompany the publication of this -letter_ with any explanation you may have to- offer on the contents of it. " Believe me, yours very truly, "J. PEEL." " Netherby, May 15. " Dear General Peel,—Until I received your letter this morning I was not aware that the in crease of billet money had been specified and sanc tioned by the Mutiny Act; or that provision had been made for this increase in the vote on account in the Army Estimates. The statement, therefore, in the speech to which you refer, respecting 'an act of prerogative, Parliament not sitting,' is an inaccuracy. You blame my ignorance. I acknow ledge it. A misstatement made by me has been the consequence. I am sorry for it, and you can give to this acknowledgment the publicity which you desire. The fact remains that a large increase of billet money has been made at the instance of the Government, and was announced on the eve of a general election, " With respect to an alleged promise of an outlay of public money at Berwick I said that I could not speak with any certainty, and that I did not know whether the allegation could be proved. I have been since informed that it was not the restoration of the old castle which was contemplated, but the repara tion and tie reoccupation of the old barracks at that place.—l am yours very faithfully, " J. R. G. GRAHAM. " Major-General the Right Hon. J. Peel." THE EARTHQUAKE AT QUITO. The Seis de Iffarzo, of Guayaquil, gives the fol lowing details of the recent earthquake at Quito : From the different accounts which the Government has received, it learns that the dreadful earthqt.ake which was felt in this city on the 22d of the present month has caused terrible disaster and very lamentable losses in the capital of the republic, in all the neighbouring towns, in the capitals of the province of Leon, and amongst the towns of the cantonment of Latacunga. Equal or greater have been the injuries caused by the earth quake in all cities and settlements of the beautiful province of Imbaboure, the details of which have not been as yet re ceived ; but we shall hasten to make them public as soon as possible. In the meanwhile we have given place in the present number to the following article from .E 1 Artesano which gives an account, in the manner of the official com munications and various . private letters, of the lamentable state to which that city is now reduced, and the mournful condition of its unhappy inhabitants : " THE 22D OF MARCH , 1859 IN QUITO. " " "The sweat and labour of man mingled together during many centuries, and transformed into sumptuous temples, have just been demolished by one of those terrible convul sions of the earth which from time to time strike the virgin of the new world with consternation. "A few seconds have been sufficient to - cast to the earth the magnificent works of architecture which were the glory and pride of the opulent Quito. " Yesterday, the 22d of March, at half-past eight in the morning, after a slight atmospheric detonation, the most violent movements of tho earth were felt, in which it was seen that the city had reached its last end. " " The voice of man was hushed in his ordinary affairs, and bitter lamentations and prayirs to Heaven ascended in the midst of the quivering of the earth, the sundering of mountains, the terrifying reports of the towers and cupolas of the temples and of the tiles and walls as they fell to the earth. Seventy-four 'seconds were sufficient to reduce to ruins the proud edifices which the perseverance of man had raised up in the course of many long years. " This eminently catholic city, although hardly Chris tianised, prostrated to the earth, perhaps for its offences, loudly implored the clemency of offended Heaven in such awful moments. "As soon as the convulsions of the earth had ceased a new, horrifying, and tender scene took place on the scene of terror. The parents sought their scattered children ; these, in their turn, their parents ; members of famili es i m plored one another with vehememt breath, in the midst of the weeping and confusion, as if hoping that they might unite together so that one spot might serve them for a common sepulture ; or, in consolation, shedding tears one over the other. " Here some sustained in their arms dismayed and aged people; there tender virgins whose strength had deserted them ; further on were to be seen groups of parents and friends whose intertwined arms expressed the pleasure which they felt at meeting. "As soon as there was a little calm of the feelings we went out to examine the ruins, and we have passed by the feeling of breathing the dust of the ruins of the temples. Here the Eternal seems to have said, I will root out my house and my habitation from among an ungrateful people.' • " There is not an edifice which has not suffered, and many do not admit of repairs unless they are demolished. The cathedral is mutilated, and one part of its balustrades fell to the ground, and the place which was used as an ecclesiastical court also lost its roof. The portico of the chapel of El Sagrario lost its best half, and the middle aisle is greatly injured. The temple of the Augustines lost its principal cupola and the tower and angle of its cloister. The temple of the Catalines came to the ground in its main part, which formed the front and the cupola, leaving several persons in its ruins, who, in consequence of its immensity, it is impossible to discover until after some days of labour. Of the temple of the Dominicans there fell the balustrades, two angles of the principal court, and one of the second. The tower of the hospital demands imme diate demolition, in consequence of the ruinous state ia which it has been left. The church of our Lady del Carmen is greatly injured, the great bars of iron which supported its angles having fallen. The magnificent temple of Santa Clara has been completely damaged, in consequence of the loss of her collateral arches and the destruction of her little cupola. From the temple of La Merced there fell the high cupola, some convent cells, and the little cupola of the tower, while the clock was striking the fatal hour for the last time. Both towers of the temple of San Francisco were found to be greatly damaged; but this one has suffered the least, although the interior of the convent is greatly damaged. The temple of St. Roque lost its tower, and one of the two temples of St. John the Evangelist lost one of the two which it had. The church of Recoleta de Dominicos is completely ruined. " Of the public edifices, the walls of the company at the corner of the San Francisco place are ruined, and the tiles of the building which was used for the transaction of the business of the supreme, and superior courts have fallen. The government palace is completely injured in its two ca binets, as well as the archiepiscopal palace. The colleges and chapels are all left in greater or less ruin. We conclude this faithful account by stating that, although there are a . few houses not completely destroyed , there not a single one which does not demand immediate repair. " The number of victims ascertained up to this moment is very small, and does not exceed ten persons who have perished under the ruins. " From some accounts which we have received from adjacent places we learn that the city of Machachi is de stroyed, as also the towns of the north — Perucho, Pomas qui, and Cotocollao, including the habitations of the fields. We are even ignorant of the number of persons who might have been in the towns, and even of the motive cause of so lamentable a catastrophe. "We will hereafter, as we have promised, give more de tailed accounts of the injuries which have resulted from the earthquake in the towns of the north." FAILURE IN BIRMINGHAM.--Yesterday a circular was issued announcing that the firm of Charles Villatti and Co. was unable to provide funds to meet the current en gagements, and a meeting of the creditors is convened. The house did business with South America, and the stoppage is attributed to the suspension of payment by the house cf Alfred Willers and Co., of Hamburg. A HOPEFUL SCHOLAR. —An engineer of world wide celebrity, on visiting a parallel which was in course of completion by a party of the corps, went up to the nearest sapper to interrogate him with reference to the work he was executing. The workman was private Solomon Whelan, who was not remarkable for wit or good sense. Colonel— What is your name, sir ? Sapper—Solomon Whelan, sir. Colonel—Well, Solomon Whelan, what slope is that ? Sapper—a very good slope, sir. Colonel—But what is its name ? Sapper—A slope, sir. Colonel—You are a very stupid fellow. Sapper—Yes, sir. The colonel paused to scrutinise the genius ; and having surveyed him from head to heel, resumed the examination. Colonel—Supposing the first sapper were killed, what would you do with him ? Sapper—Stuff him in the gabion 1 Colonel—And what would you do with the Aecond, if he were killed ? Sapper —Make a fascine of him 1 Colonel—Well, Solomon Whe lan, you certainly are a curious fellow. Sapper—Yes, sir. Here the dialogue ended, and the colOnel strode away twisting his whisker, evidently amazed at the species of information the interview had elicited.—Romance of the Bank.

An address from Mr. B. H. Carroll appears this evening. Mr. Wood, it is said, is also canvassing ; at all event a con test is inevitable. DR. SMETHURST.—Our readers cannot fail to have observed the distressing inquiry that is now pending respecting the alleged death, by poison, of a lady of the name of Bankos, at Richmond, Surrey. The party accused of the horrible offence has been represented in the reports of the public journals to be " Dr. Thomas Smethurst,' and also as "Mr. Thomas Smethurst." Now, on examining the medical directories for England, Ireland, and Scotland, we do not find any person of that name as a member of any department of the profession in this kingdom. In fact, the name of " Smethurst" is not to be found in any of the directories we have mentioned.—Lancet. DRINKING FOUNTAINS FOR LONDON.—In the interest of the metropolis, since a gentle hint is unheeded, and many other drinking fountains are about to be put op under the same direction, we are compelled to speak plainly, and to say that what is done is exceedingly unsatisfactory in an artistic point of view. A Norman window-opening appears to have given the suggestion, but so ill-proportioned a Norman window was never seen. The central portion — two short columns and semicircular arch—is of Aberdeen granite and marble; a shell of the latter material, fro m . the water runs, being stuck flat against the wallund whicher the arch. Around this are other concentric arches in Portland The central and flowers, in the same enduring substance. cement, including a coarse eg7...ag ornament of stem, leaves, rry sur tu e that fuld bee decently profiled, portion alone, if the mouldings had. for the absurd shell, would and a proper spout substituted _ with an additional moulding round it of graniteormarble, fault, but there is much a have been a thousand timtesstabketete, and r. we e e a r a e r are quitese on. will himself Erected 1859 by S.
