LAW INTBILIGENCE.-( THIS _DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) IN RE SPENCE.-PETITION FOR PATENT This was a petition for a patent for the manufacture of tin plates into steel, &c. The Lord Chancellor granted the prayer of the petition, allowing the patent to pass the Great Seal, and allowed a month to prepare the specification. (Before the Lords Justices.) GREENWOOD V. dEMMET.—AEPEAL, This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, finding that, according to the ordinary interpretation of the language used in the testator's will, directing £2,000, in four parts, to be paid out of the residue of his property, meant the residue of his own personal property, exclusive of the personal property derived by him from his sister. Lord Justice. Knight Bruce, in delivering judgment, observed that the arguments in this case for the plaintiff and defendant were so equally and nicely balanced that if the Master of the Rolls had not settled the interpretation of this, clause in the will, his lordship would have had some difficulty in determining it, but the Master of the Rolls has rightly settled it, and his decision ought not to be disturbed. His lordship could • not say he would not have follwod the Master of the Rolls if he had come to an opposite conclu sion, the construction was so difficult and intricate. Lord Justice Turner entirely concurred in the decision of the Master of the Rolls. The appeal was dismissed with costs. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) SWINFEN V. SWINFEN.---IMPORTANT WILL CAUSE, His Honour the Master of the Rolls delivered judgment in this much-contested will cause this morning. It will be remembered that this cause was tried some time since at the assizes, and, after a long and much con tested trial, which e4tended over several days, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. The cause now came before his honour on the plaintiff's motion for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to evidence. His Honour the Master of the Rolls on taking a re trospective view of the facts of this case, and particularly attending to the evidence of the attesting witnesses to the mlll and the testimony of Dr. Evans, and considering the high character and credibility of the defendant's witnesses, who spoke to the capacity and ability of the testator to make a will at the time the will was made and signed by him, his Honour was of opinion that there was sufficient evidence to support the verdict of the jury, and that the verdict returned by the jury at the trial was a proper and right verdict, and ought not to be set aside. The plaintiff, who asked to set aside the will, is the heir at-law of the testator ; and the defendant, in whose favour the will is made, is the widow of his son. The Master of the Rolls refused the motion, with costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. :Before Lord Campbell and Justices Hill and Wightman.) MORTIMER V. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY, Mr. Grove, Q.C., moved fora rule for a now trial in this case, in which it was alleged that, in consequence of certain excavations made by the said railway company, the plain tiff's property had been greatly injurnd. The plaintiff was the proprietor of a tan-yard, into which two streams of water originally ran ; but, in consequence of certain cut tings, the water of one or both of the streams had been diverted and in part dried up, and the consequence was the property of Mr. Mortimer had been greatly injured. Mr. Lush followed on the same side, and had not con cluded his arguments when our report left. BAIL COURT. PEARSE V. MASTERS. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing this cause, which was an action on the warranty of a horse. The case was of the usual description, and totally uninteresting except to the parties concerned. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. MEETING THIS DAY, Before the Lord Chief Justice, Sir A. Cockburn, and Justices Williams, Willis, and Bramwell.) THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY V. SCOTT. Mr. Sergeant Shee made an application on the part of the defendant for the postponement of the motion for a new trial. It was a case of great importance, and his learned friend was anxious to be present when the motion was made. It had not yet been decided whether it should be taken as a special case, but he felt bound to say that he should enter at considerable length into the whole of the details, as he should contend the plaintiff had no right to recover. After a few observations from the Lord Chief Justice, it was arranged that the motion should be heard on Friday week. MEETING THIS DAY. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, 3AikTETARY 12, 1850, ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLI:G.E. UNION BANK OF LONDON. A meeting of the subscribers to the Royal Dramatic Col lege was held to-day at the new Adelphi Theatre. Among those present we observed Lord W. Lennox, Lord Raynham, Sir G. Armytage, Sir W. De Bathe, the Rev. E. Moore, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Sams, Mr. H. Day, Mr. Oxen ford, Mr. Keeley, Mr. A. C. 'Billing, Mr. J. Johnston, Mr. Nelson Lee, Mr. Paul Bedford, Mr. Hermann Vezin, Mr.. Theodore Martin, Mr. Ledger, Mr. R. Bell, Mr. Arco deckne, Mr. Creswick, Mr. B. Webster, Mr. Widdicombe, Mr. S. Smith, Mr. John Cooper, Mr. T. P. Cooke, Dr. Roe, Mr. W. Wilmott, Mr. AnSon, &e. The chair was occupied by Lord TENTEILDEN. It will be recollected that a meeting was held en the 21st of July last, at the Princess's Theatre, when a pro visional committee presented a report stating— " The Dramatic College you arc this day called upon to establish, and which the provisional committee feel assured will soon take its place amongst the permanent charitable institutions for which England is remarkable, will owe its formation chiefly to a gentleman who has placed at your disposal five acres of land, beautifully situated, with no other condition than that you shall this day give evidence of your desire to provide homes for those actors and actresses who are no longer able to provide for themselves, and whose aching limbs and wearied minds have earned the reward now proposed for them. Thenamo of that gentleman is withheld, in conformity with his own request ; but the committee are assured by his solicitor, Mr. Macphail, that he only waits your appointment of trustees to make an unconditional conveyance of the land." It was stated to Mr. Charles Kean that Mr. Dodd, the eminent dust contractor, was the gentleman who was ready to make the magnificent gift as soon as a provisional com mittee was appointed to receive it. That committee was duly appointed, and Mr. Charles Kean, Mr. Dickens, Mr, Benjamin Webster, and Mr. Thackeray were nominated as the parties to whom five acres of land were to be made over ; but a delay arose in the transfer, on account of the committee and Mr. Dodd not being able to agree upon the conditions that were to accompany the gift. A long correspondence arose, which resulted in the committee breaking off all communication with Mr. Dodd, who, it was stated, had so hampered his proposed gift with conditions, that the committee refused to accept it. Several other gentlemen had offered to convey the ne cessary land to the committee Without any conditions, and the present meeting was called to consider those proposi tions. The most advantageous offer was that of a gentleman named Moore, who had offered seven acres of land at Ger rard's-cross, a short distance from Stoke Pogis. The whole of the voluminous correspondence between the parties having been read, . _ The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the day stated the above facts, and called upon Mr. Robert Bell to move the first resolution. Mr. BELL, in doing so, said the resolution he had to move was simply that the proceedings of the provisional committee be approved, and the report just read be adopted. He thought that all present would agree that the committee had acted very properly, and in saying one word with respect to Mr. Dodd, he would only say that it was much to be regretted that so much valuable time had been spent so uselessly, and in parting with that gentleman the committee do so in no feelings of acerbity, but those of respect. Sir GEORGE ARMYTAGE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. B. WEBSTER moved the second resolution, which was that the best thanks of this meeting be given to the Rev. Mr. Moore, and the London Necropolis Com- , pany, for their offers of land for the purposes of the college. He said it had been part of his duty to visit the two sites offered for the college, and anything more beautiful he had never seen. (Hear, hear.) Much as the proceedings of Mr. Dodd might be regretted, his loss, as far as the land for the proposed college was concerned, was a positive gain. (Hear, hear.) Instead of live acres, Mr Moore had offered seven. (Cheers.) And the liberality of that gentleman ex tended so far,, that he actually offered him (Mr. Webster) the opportunity of picking the land. If the meeting that day determined which of the two sites they would accept, the committee would be in a position to commence building operations immediately, which they would not have been enabled to do, even if they had accepted Mr. Dodd's land, for by the law of mortmain they would have been com pelled to have been in possession twelve months before they could have laid a single brick. Everything since Mr. Dodd's refusal had improved the funds, and offers of aid had flowed in without end ; and he hoped that in a very short time the Royal Dramatic College would become a reality, and be ranked with those benevolent in stitutions which were the pride of England. (Loud cheers.) The resolution, having been seconded, was carried unani mously. Resolutions accepting the offer of Mr. Moore were passed amid loud cheers, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The following report was presented to• the meet ing of the Union Bank of London, held todaytoday:— "The directors have the pleasure of laying before the proprietors tke accounts of the Bank for the last half-year, ending 31st December. It ;will be seen by the balance sheet appended to this report that, notwithstanding the low value of money which has prevailed, the profits of the Bank, after payment of all charges, and including the sum of £7,495 Bs. 7d., brought forward on the 30th Juno last, amount to £67,540 12s. sd. The directors now declare a dividend for the last six months, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 2i per cent. on the paid-up capital, being together at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, clear of income tax. After payment of the above, amount ing to £45,00 0 , there will remain a balance of £22,540: 12s. sd. to be carried forward for appropriation at the end of the financial year, in July next."

IN RE GARRAD. This bankrupt was described as of Tower-hill, wine mer chant, and to-day came up for his last examination, opposed by Mr. Bagley for the assignees, on the ground that the bankrupt had not satisfactorily answered the requisitions, although the examination had been adjourned to give an opportunity for his so doing. Mr. Lewis, for the bankrupt, asked for a further adjourn ment, as the bankrupt had been punished by the others. His Honour said the adjournments had been occasioned by the bankrupt not furnishing the information required. He had to consider of creditors as well as bankrupts. He would adjourn the case, giving the bankrupt leave to come up when prepared with the accounts. Mr. Lewis said the accounts had been filed, but the bank rupt was will ing and anxious to afford further information if required. His Honour could not depart from the rule.

A BROTHER CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS BROTHER. —Alfred Wilkins, a young raan, was charged with robbing his brother, Albert Wikins, of 62, Dean-street, Soho, of a watch, of the value of La. The prosecutor said he lived at 62, Dean-street, and the prisoner was his brother, and lived with him. On Thurs day morning last, on getting up at 11, he missed his watch; which was quite tot& at eight, hanging over his bed. He suspected his brother, and in consequence spoke to his father-in-law, and the watch was traced to a pawnbroker's. The prisoner had left the house, but was discovered to be in the next house, and was then given into custody. Henry Hankey, assistant to Mr. Bartram, pawnbroker, of Princes. street, produced the watch, which was pawned by the prisoner for 255. Sergeant Ryan, of the A division, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he denied all knowledge of the watch. He had the prisoner in custody once before, at this court, for stealing clothes in Regent-street, for which he was convicted. • The prisoner said he had no questions ti ask. Committed for trial. THAMES. A PROTECTING ORDER FOR A DESERTED WIFE. Mr. Satmders, clerk to Mr. Maddock, a solicitor of Arbour-street East, applied to Mr. Yardley for a protecting order on behalfßf Mrs. Sarah Ann Habart, residing at 4, Queen-street, Stepney, who had been shamefully deserted by her husband two years ago. Mr. Saunders stated that Mrs. Habart was married to her husband on the 17th of January, 1854, at the parish church of Hulme in Hunting donshire, and was deserted by her husband in January, 1857, Nl:thout any apparent cause, and she had not since heard from I , im or received any thing from him towards her support. Mrs. Habart was the mother of two children by her husband, who were, at the time of his leaving her, of the respective ages of six months and two years. The property in possession of the husband at the time of the desertion consisted only of a little household farniture, which was shortly afterwards seized, and sold to satisfy rent and other debts due by Mr. Habart, and but for the timely assistance of the applicant's father, she and her two poor helpless children would have become a charge to the parish. She, however, had since succeeded, with the little assistance her friends could afford, and by her own lawful industry, in obtaining support for herself and her two young children, and had by the same means acquired a little property, which she wished to protect against her husband. Mr. Yardley—And any future property she may acquire. Mr. Saunders—Yes, eiactly, sir. Mrs. Habart is a very industrious woman, and has acquired her property by her own skill and exertions since her husband abandoned her and his children. Mr. Saunders then quoted the 21st clause of the Matrimonial and Divorce Causes Act, and submitted this was a case in which there ought to be a protecting order granted. Mr. Yardley asked Mrs. Habart if her husband was in this country. . Mrs. Habart—l believe he is, sir. Mr. Yardley—You are entitled to an order of protection Let one be made out immediately. Mrs. Habart thanked the magistrate and retired. NEW ATTORNEY FOR WHITECROSS-STREET PRISON.—A prison attorney has been appointed by the Court of Aldermen for Whitecross-street Prison.

It is understood ho was spoken to early on the following morning, but when his landlady went into his room on the morning of the let January inst., between ten and e leven o'clock , she found him dead. rom the position the body was in it would seem he died without a struggle. He was an old man of 86 years of age, and had seen a great deal of service. He was through the whole of the Peninsular war, and shared in most if not tho wh ole of the sanguinary contests of that eventful period. Ho finished his fighting career at Water loo. He was a quiet, inoffensive old man, and had a pen sion of is. per diem. —Stirling Journal. DISTRESSING DEATH.—lntelligence was received in Bristol yesterday of the death, by drowning, of Mr. Thornton J. Herapath, son of Mr. William Herapath, the celebrated analytical chemist. The deceased had been for some time engaged as the chief chemical officer of the Mexican South American Smelting Company, and was on his passage from Herradura, Chili, on a visit home, when in lat. 8 north, 31 west, by some accident he fell overboard, and though a buoy was almost immediately thrown to him, and a boat was lowered for the purpose of rescuing him, he sank and rose no more. Mr. Thornton Herapath was a gentleman of high scientific attainments, and his contribu tions to various periodicals in this country, as well as lectures deliverpd in his native city and elsewhere, won for him a distinguished place among the chemists of England, and ultimately obtained him the appointment which is rendered vacant by his lamented death, .~ ~ 1 THIRD) EDITION SUN OFFICE, Six o' NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The following appointments were made at the Admi ralty this afternoon : Lieutenant William Rodgers, R.N., has been promoted from the reserved list of ' Lieutenants to the reserved list of Commanders, lancer an order in Council in recog nition of his valuable services to the Royal Navy, as well as to the mercantile marine of the country, by improve ments which he has made in the various kinds of anchors. Master—Mr. 11. W. C. Wise (additional), to the Vesuvius. SPAIN. The following telegram has been received:— " MADRID, Jan. 10.—The Gazette publishes a oyal decree suspending the recruiting for the colonies." The Madrid journals of the 7th state that the Queen on the occasion of tae Epiphany (twelfth night), had, in accordance with ancient custom, held a reception of the members of the two Chambers and of the great public bodies, at which brief complimentary addresses were delivered. The Council of State is engaged in examining a project for the immigration of Chinese labourers into Cuba. The Emperor of Morocco, to prove to the Spaninrds that he was determined to fulfil the engagements entered into with them, had sent an officer to the Riff to see that the Spanish prisoners were given up to them. MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS. (From the Times.) " I am afaid," says Bolingbroke, when &scribing he accession of the Tory party after a long course of Whig government, " that we came into power in the same dispositions as all parties have done ; that the principal spring of our actions was to have the government of the State in our hands ; that our principal views were the conservation of this power, great employments to ourselves, and great oppor• tunities of rewarding those who had helped to raise us, and. of hurting those who stood in opposition to us. It is, however, true that with these considera- tions of private and party interest there were others intermingled which had for their object the public good of the nation,—at least, what we took to be such." A hundred and fifty years have toldlsome what upon our political parties, but have not entirely changed their motives of action. We still see the same sudden conversions, the same shaping of policy to party interests, the same resolution to re tain the government of the State—for the public good, if possible, but to retain the government of the State. What the brilliant and versatile St. John confessed were his motives in 1710 might per haps be avowed by some of his admirers and imita tors self•communing in 1859. But the politicians of this generation are grown better in degree, if they are not changed in nature. They work their organised hypocrisy under a closer scrutiny ; they are watched by a more enlightened public ; they have learnt the necessity of placing the national good higher in order among the objects of party policy. Every party has its ames damnees, who attend only to the greasing of the machine, with out much thought of the object of its labours; but the leaders and the great body of more independent followers have had an anxious desire for the public weal forced. upon them as a necessity, and have adopted it as a habit of thought. Now and then some gust of faction drives them from the right course, and hurries them irresistibly along in the wrong direction. China was an instance of this in 1856, and we shall see how the - Reform breeze will affect them in . 1859. But under ordinary circumstances the people now in office seem anxious in all administrative matters to do their best by the nation, within the limits of party safety, and even at the expense of some party patronage. We yesterday announced some appointments for which the Government may claim credit, as show ing their desire to break through the routine of party, and which reflect honour upon Mr. Disraeli and Lord Stanley, through whose more immediate agency they have been made. Sir Charles Trevelyan has been promoted from the post of Assistant-Se cretary of the Treasury to the office of Governor of the Madras Presidency. The permanent office thus vacated has been bestowed upon Mr. Hamilton, who has hitherto acted as the Finaiacial Secretary ; and Sir Stafford Northcote succeeds to the very im portant and delicate office thus vacated by Mr. Hamilton. It is no imputation upon Mr. Hamilton to suppose that he can scarcely be found equal to his predecessor in the onerous and responsible duties which will now devolve upon him. Upon this appointment there is little to be said, except that Mr. Hamilton has executed his previous office very respectably, and will doubtless be found a useful public servant. Sir Stafford Northcote has made himself somewhat conspicuous upon questions of Law Reform and Social Science, was rather ardent upon the subject of Reformatories, and was thought to have a turn for the sentimentalities of public life. If the chronicles of former financial secretaries are written truly, Sir Stafford will find a good sphere for the exercise of the higher moralities in his new office. He was originally, we believe, a Peelite in politics, but when the attraction of cohesion grew faint in that small body politic he was attracted within the circle of Mr. Disraeli's influence, and was fixed by the representation of Stamford. This new appointment celebrates his complete espousals with the Tory party. But the important selection, without which we should not have thought it necessary to call attention to these changes, is that of Sir Charles Trevelyan for Madras. Sir Charles has now been nearly twenty years at the Treasury. He was educated for, and was for some time em ployed in the Company's service, and throughout the whole of his career he has never ceased by writ ing and by action to labour for the advancement of education among the natives of India. Within his own department his great administrative ability is known to every public man; he was the origi nator of the searching reforms which have been silently carried out in our public offices, and we believe we are right in saying that upon him de volved the arrangement of that gigantic system which England opposed to the ravages of the Irish famine. We insist upon these antecedents, because we have to add that Sir Charles has always been a steady Liberal in politics, and is by alliance and descent intimately connected with the Whig party. It is this last fact which alone renders his appoint ment so creditable to Mr. Disraeli, who recommended it, and to Lord Stanley, who cheerfully adopted the recommendation. They saw his fitness even through the distorting medium of his hostile politics. The appointment of an eminent civil servant to a post of dignity which has more generally been dealt with as one of the perquisites of the Peerage is a graceful act of homage to the spirit of admini strative reform, and an encouragement to the class from which Sir Charles is drawn. We hope we may also accept it as a sign that the present Go vernment are determined to do the best they can for India irrespective of all party considerations, and to remove that country from the category of subjects for faction fighting. Sir Charles goes forth in the prime of life to a station which he has well earned by a life of the most energetic activity, and to duties which are congenial with his tastes and studies. He goes also to a post where powers such as his are much wanted, and where they can be developed to great public advantage. We must not forget that it has sometimes happened that the most reasonably formed expectations have not been justified by a complete success, but, so far as we can judge a man's future from his antece dents, we anticipate important results from the application of Sir Charles Trevelyan's energies to Indian rule, and we congratulate the Ministers who had the opportunity of appointing him, and the honest sense to profit by that opportunity. THIS DAY'S MARKET& CORN EXCHANGE. A portion of the supply of English wheat on sale to-day was left over from Monday, and the arrivals fresh up were limited. On the whole, the trade ruled firm, and Monday's prices were well supported. There was a steady, but by no means active, inquiry for foreign wheat, at very full prices. Several parcels were taken for inland consumption. We had a steady sale for barley, and the quotations ruled firm. Malt, however, was dull.

TANDEM DRIVING.-A COLLISION ON THE ROAD. At the Ramsgate petty sessions on. Monday, Ed ward Packer, a carrier, appeared to answer a sum mons charging him with having, on the 27th ult., wilfully destroyed a hat, value 118., the property of May Osmund Alonzo Durant. Defendant pleaded not guilty. The complainant deposed—On the 27th Decem ber last I was driving a tandem from Margate down King-street, not far from this place. When I drew near Cullen's public-house I saw three carts, and as I came up defendant drew his abreast of the other one and obstructed me by completely blocking up the road. I asked him to go on, when he challenged me to fight and swore at me. He used such language as I seldom hear. In order to get past him I had to draw up on the footway, the nave ofmy wheel nearly going through a shop NI indow. My boy's hat then name off—how I cannot tell, for I had enough to do to manage my horses ; the leader had been in har ness only a few times. The Yalu:: of the hat is lls. I am quite sure there were three carts in a line, with two black horses in each. Defendant was in charge of the hindmost one, and as I came up he pulled abreast of the others. I had said nothing to him before. The lad had blown his horn pre viously, to let him know I was coming. I pulled up a little lower down, and the boy went after his hat. I returned in half an hour afterwards, and the carts were still there. Had the lady who was with me screamed, an accident would have hap pened. Benjamin Edgar—l am servant to Captain Durant. I was with my master on the 27th of December last in King-street. He was driving a tandem. The defendant caught hold of our " wheeler" and " threatened" my master to fight. My master drove on, but the defendant brought his cart forward and stopped my master's going on. He got past by getting on to the footway. I think it was the jerk of the cart that knocked my hat off. I got oft' while the carriage was still going on. As I got to the hat the defendant jumped on it, and kicked it under the cart, which I ran under and fetched it. The hat produced is the one that ,he kicked. My master was driving a lady in the gig. My master asked defendant to shift. The latter replied, " D—d if he would." Defendant was coming up the street and had time to pass. I blew the horn, and defendant looked at me. My master cracked his whip over defendant's horses' heads. • After some further evidence, George Wm. Cullen deposed—l am landlord of the Duchess of Kent Inn, King-street, in this town. About noon on Monday last I was standing at my bar, around which there were some seven or eight persons. Defendant and his cousin came in with some two or three others, and called for a quart of beer, which I served. Defendant was the first person who drank it; as soon as he had done so he left the house. About two or three minutes afterwards I heard a horn blow, and some person in front of the bar said, " Hero comes the madman." Having my curiosity raised, I went to the door. I then saw the complainant near the Elephant and Castle, or thereabouts. I think the horn must have been blown before he got there. He was coming at the rate of 12 miles an hour when I went to the door. There were two carts standing just below my door laden with beach. The defendant was drawing his cart into the centre of. the road, and was in the act of passing the foremost cart, when the complainant drove close up to him and said, " D--- your eyes, get out of the road ; you have no business here." Defendant replied, it, I can't ;" upon which complainant slashed his whip and struck defendant's horse, which was a very spirited one. Defendant was then holding his horse's head. Complainant drew upon the footpath and passed the cart, slashing , his whip, and struck a lad named Wood, by which action he knocked off the lad's hat. He was then going at such a speed that he could not pull up until he got near the Bell Inn—a considerable dis tance. He returned again, and taking up a flint stone endeavoured to scratch out a name on de fendant's cart, after which he went away. There were a great number of persons present at the time it happened. I saw the hat kicked about by several persons, but I swear that the defendant never touched it. There was no time for the defendant to get by before the complainant was upon him. The magistrates retired, and after a short con sultation returned, when Mr. Crofton said—The question before the court is,—has this hat been injured, and if so, who has done it ? Now, it has been proved by the evidence of three witnesses (one certainly more in favour of the defendant than any one else) that defendant was seen meddling with the hat, and the bench are of opinion that he is the party who damaged the hat. and he must therefore pay 1 ls. and the costs, 19s. 6d., or be committed to the House of Correction for 21 days. Defendant applied for time, and was allowed three weeks to pay it. The Rev. G. G. Sicklemore said—Capt. Durant, now that the case is over, allow me to say a few words respecting the rapid speed at which you drive through the town. It behoves every one, whatever his station in life, to be very careful how he.drives through the narrow streets of a town like this, in order to prevent accidents to life and limb. It is but a short time since I myself saw two ladies nearly knocked down by your servant, who was riding, and who apparently had not got his horse under control. Being a magistrate myself, I ant not fond of laying informations, but I asked mySelf the question whether I was not wrong in so 'doing. Captain Durant-I have driven through the most crowded places and never yet knocked any on© down. The Rev. Mr. Sicklemorc—l do not doubt your abilities as a " whip," but I do hope that you will be very careful. Captain Durant assured him that he, would check the boy. We understand that the defendant's neighbours have commenced a subscription to, defray tho.liue and costs.—Kentish Gazette. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND GREENWICH. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Gresham-house, Old Broad-street ; Air. J. Wilson in the chair. The CHAIRMAN read the statement of accounts, which showed a balance from the last half-year of £429. To this was added £22,500, the half-year's rental of the railway due on the 31st of December last, £6 transfer fees, and £l4B balance of interest account, making a total of £23,803. From this sum was deducted £10,206 for interest on bonds and preference shares, £7 10s. annuity to J. Nash, £lB7 10s.for stamp and commission on a bond for £50,000, £396 expenses of management, and £261 income tax, leaving a balance of £12,025. The CII:tIRMAN moved a formal resolution ap proving the statement of accounts, and declaring a dividend for the past half-year on the ordinary shares of the company of ss. 6d. per share, clear of income-tax. The resolution was adopted unanimously. In reply to a question from Mr. Maclaurin, it was stated that £50.000 of borrowed money at 4t per cent. per annum became due in the course of the past half-year, and was repaid by £50,000 obtained. by the directors on bond at 4 per cent. por annum for 50 years. The saving in interest would be £125 per annum, but the stamps and commission for com pleting the transaction amounted to £lB7. Mr. MACLAURIN thought they might have bor rowed the money from their own shareholders at 4 per cent. without the cost of commission. The election by the directors of Mr. It. Kynaston to a seat at the board was confirmed, and having then retired by rotation, he was unanimously re elected. Mr.` J. Pilchard was also re-elected, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. STATE OP TRADE. LEEDS, Jan. 11.—There has been n good active market in the cloth halls this morning, and, cou, sidering the new cloth brought into the market, a satisfactory amount of business has been done. There continues to be a steady business " off" the public markets. While there is a brisk call for light fabrics, there is an increased demand for the very best all-wool cloths, particularly fast' colour blacks and good whites, which may be dyed any colour. These kinds of fabrics are entering into strong competition with the best West of 'England cloths, and, the price considered, will i n n . 4any eases, iii tl a ian con f d ro it ui it is believed, supplant them. MANCIIESTER, lth.—The market for yarns has been rather quieter, but it is more because of the any ,'other cause. ton to supply very full rates can be had, but ,b 'll' of buyers are :num ing to scarcity `There spinners supply are offer contracts , for delivery at t h e end of February or March. Business has, consequent] y, been con fined to small parcels. The uneasy fi;eling about peace on the Continent is said to hive militated. against business for Germany; but the truth is yarns for that market, as for every ot!aer, are diffi cult to obtain. The telegraphic n.dvices from Calcutta endorse the very best accoun is 'previously received, and the market continued very firm. .The effect here of these advices has been. good, and there is more business doing in clot'a than in yarn. There is an apparent quietness in. the market, but. it arises a good deal from many of our m anufactur(Js really having nothing to sell.
