Great Northern, Brighton; and South-Eastern have declined 10s.; Eastern Counties and Midland, 15s. ; Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Western,, South-Western, Norfolk, and North- Eastern (Berwick), £1; and North British, £1 10s, The foreign lines are flat. Northern of Prance have declined ss. ; Paris and Lyons, , 6 5. to 10s. ; and Lombardo-Venetian about 15s. East India railway shares continue very de pressed, and the slight sy m pt oms o f i m p rovemen t a noticed disappeared when the decline in the v alue of the English funds took place. As the seeurity"is considered unexceptionable, the depres sion can only be attributed to the excessive supply of these shares floating upOn the market. When it is recollected that the aggregate amount of capital the public have undertaken to subscribe for t hose undertakings is £35,000,000, it will be 'RPParent that some time must elapse before they take up what may be considered their proper Position among the investments bearing high rates of interest. In the Colonial Market East Indian Shares are e. : ha ving declined about £1 to £1 10s. Grand Trunk. of Canada and Great western of C ana d a has been a about former rates.

JACKSON.-PETITION. This was a petition of a ward of court, married fourteen days after attaining majority; to draw a reversionary in terest of one-third part of the sum of £l,OOO stock, £lB7 consols £96 17s. 6cl. reduced, and £1 Bs, sd. cash. Mr. Deane appeared for the petitioner, and referred to the following decided cases in support of his application— Long v. Long—Chancery Reports, Lord Lyndhurst's opinion, 123, Stewart and Chambers. Ball v. Hughes, Money v. Money—Milvoy, Chambers' Reports, 98-2 d De Gex, Macnaughten, and Gordon. Longbottom v. Person, sth March, 1858., Lord Justice Knight Bruce said that his difficulty in this case was whether in a promise of marriage to aninfant ward of Court, carried into effect in majority, the Court could act upon the consent of • the wife ; or, whether the Court should not deal with such a case as if the marriage had taken place in minority, and act accordingly ? As a matter of feeling, so far as his lordship was concerned, he would not grant a warrant of committal in this case, separately and distinctly from the matter of right. In the case of Flanders v. Flanders, before the Master of the Rolls, the Court refused to grant the order. It was clearly proved that proposals for marriage were made and accepted during the wife's minority. It was arraigned enter ae that a part of this money was to be paid to the mother. Mr. Deane proposed to take a reference to chambers. Lord Justice Knight Bruce said that it should be dis tinctly understood that the wife was not bound to make a settlement of her reversionary interest unless she pleases, and the Court were not at present prepared to pay her the money. It, was arragned that the case would be again mentioned on a future day. The Master of the Rolls is expected to give judgment to. morrow morning in Swinfen v. Swinfen. CITY SHERIFF& COURT. EXTRAORDINARY ACTION UPON A BILL OF EXCHANGE, -CAUTION TO ACCEPTORS. At this court, yesterday, was tried (Mayhew v. Sheppard) the following singular case, involving a novel point in the law of bills of exchange, and a most important judgment. The plaintiff is a solicitor, and the action was brought to recover a sum of £lO 4s. 6d. due upon a dishonoured bill of exchange, drawn by one Bolton, accepted by defendant, and discounted by plaintiff. As the bill was in defendant's possession, he gave the first version of the transaction as follows :—Being in want of a sum of £5, he called upon Bolton, who was clerk to plaintiff; and whom he had known for a long time, and asked him if Mr, Mayhew would lend him £5. Bolton said, "He won't lend so little as. that, but £lO he will advance if you will give him a bill." Bolton then drew and defendant accepted a bill for £lO 4s. 6d., and it was handed to plaintiff, who cashed it and paid it to his bankers. Of the proceeds Bolton kept £5 and4defendant had £5. The bill became due on the 9th Aug. last, and was on the 10th returned from plaintiff's bankers dishonoured. It appears that Bolton had communi cated with defendant on the 9th, and defendant called at plaintiff's office on the 10th and paid Bolton £5, and received the bill from him. He, (defendant) did not see any harm in paying Bolton. Bolton agreed to pay his share. Mr. Mayhew, as plaintiff, stated that Bolton came to him one morning, and said he was in great distress, and wanted to borrow LW. As he had been some time in plaintiff's ser vice, that person agreed to lend him the sum if he could get a responsible person to accept the bill. Bolton proposed defendant, and Mr. Mayhew agreed to take the bill. He (Mr. Mayhew) looked to the defendant as the respon sible party. Now, when the bill was dishonoured, it should have been handed to the plaintiff, and most certainly Bolton had no right with it. He was not authorised to receive money. He had robbed plaintiff, and was now in the House of Detention awaiting his examina tion, which would take place on Friday next at Bow street. The first intimation plaintiff had that the bill had been dishonoured was in going through his cash accounts. He contended that defendant had not obtained the bill in the usual course and that he was still responsible. ' His Honour thought so too. In any instance, even if Bolton had a general authority to receive money, in the present one he was theifery last person to whom defendant should have paid money, as the drawer of a bill, as a person jointly liable. Defendant knew a great deal better, though he talked about paying his share. There was no such thing as shares in a bill of exchange, and the acceptor was liable for the whole amount. In this case defendant might have honestly ob tained the bill. Certainly he did not in the usual course, and he must pay it now. Defendant—What 1 all of it ? His Honour—Yes; all of it. Mr. Mayhew will not be hard. You can pay it by instalments. An order was then made in favour of plaintiff, and de fendant was ordered' to pay the whole amount by instal ments. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. ROBBERY BY ,A SERVANT -_William Day, a middle aged man, was placed at the bar, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Baldwin, a cab proprietor, of Southampton mews, Russell-square. Mr. Baldwin said the prisoner was, up to the 4th of September last, in his employ as ,horsekeeper. His wages were 20s. a week with rooms for his family, and part of his duty was to wait up once or twice a week to receive the earnings of the men as they-returned home with their cabs, On the 4th of September it was his turn to remain up, and between one and two in the morning seven cab drivers brought home their money, which was delivered to the pri soner, and the names of the men entered on a list with the amounts they had paid attached to their names. The prisoner it appeared received £3 ls., and next day it was found he had gone off with the money. It was not thought he had stolen it until in the course of the day the boxes, into which the men always placed their money, were re turned, Ahrough the parcels delivery company, empty. Information was then given to the police, but until yester day nothing had been heard of tho prisoner, when he was taken into custody. Henry Holt, a cab-driver, said,' on the morning of the sth of September he left his money, box with the prisoner. It contained eight shillings. It ought to have been de livered to Mr. Baldwin the same day. William Greenwood gave similar evidence. contained nine shillings.. His box Sergeant Lambert, of the E division of police, said he took the prisoner into custody yekerclay, at Notting-hill, Bayswater. 'He was at the time working in one of the omnibus yards of the General Omnibus Company., He told Day he was a police-constable, and that he must consider himself in custody'on a charge of robbing Mr. Baldwin. He said he had taken £3 ls., and it was a bad job. Mr. Jardine asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge. Day said he had nothing to say, excepting that he had had the money. Drink had led him to commit the robbery. He lost part of the money, and got drunk with the rest. Committed for trial. ROBBERY IN ST. GILES'S.—John Donovan, James Jones, and Ann Leary were charged with robbing Ignatz Welszheim, a German, of 14s. 3d. The prosecutor, a poor deplorable-looking object, whose only covering consisted of tiny bits of cloth sewed together, and strips of dirty calico bound round that part of his body not covered by his other tatters, said he lived in Church-street, Bloomsbury. On Sunday last, about 11 o'clock he was partly imdressed—(laughtei)--and about going to bed, when the three prisoners burst into the room and commenced searching for his money, which just before he had put into a bag and placed under his bed. One of the prisoners held him fitmly down, whilst the others rummaged the place about, and having found the bag con taining twelve shillings, two sixpences, twelvepen.ce in cop per, and a threepenny piece, they left the room. All three of the ' parties lived in the same house as he did,but till 'the robbery he had never seen them before. He was certain they were the people who robbed him. On being asked what they had to say, Donovan (a big Irishman) said—Rob him, indeed S.—the poor devil; who'd ever think he'd got any money? I've no occasion to take his dirty money: He's been telling great lies. All I know about the business is that I was called to his room in consequence of hie throwing this Weinan on liiri bed and swearing she'd got his meney. Thedirty I got his money I why I know no more about it than the most innocent thing unborn. (Laughter.) Got his money I Well, I like that. (Laughter.) He was taking liberties with the woman, and I went to see what he was about,. I never went into his room. There were four other people sleeping in the trenchman's room, and they were all wide aivake. I never. had his money. (Laughter.) The other prisoners also denied .ull knowledge of the rebberY, . The Prisoners were remanded for a week.' ' MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEAIALE.—Mary ThOITIpSOII, a ladylike female, was chargdd with violently assaulting Christie Annette Hayward, at 29, Lower Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, with a plated candlestick. Mr. Edward. Les* ls; of Ofeat 'Marlboroug,h-Street, ap peared for the 'accused; and a solicitor appeared for the complainant. The accused on being placed in the dock seemed greatly to feel the position she was Placed in: ,t - it apreais that the accused is z lodger at the 110U60 iu TATTERSALL', 3-YESTERDAY.

LIEUT.-COLONEL DICKSON AND THE EARL OF Ti'ILTOiY The following additional correspondence has been handed to us for publication : War-office, Nov. 17, 1858. My Ltii-d,—ln acknowledging the receipt of your lordship's letter of the 16th inst., recommending Major .Walker to be lieut.-colonel of the 2d Tower Hamlets Militia, vice Dickson displaced, I have the honour to aequaint 'you that I deem it expedient to give the latter officer one more opportunity of withdrawing his refusal to resign his commission. In communicating-this to him, your lordship will inform him my instruction that he be' displaced in Consequence of his refusal to resign was based on the grounds that while in command of the regiment he did not administer the interior affairs of the corps, more particularly those connected with the officers' mess, with that good judgment and unre mitting attention and superintendence which the regulations of the service enjoin, and which it is my duty to enforce. It is on these grounds alone that I came to this decision, and should Colonel Dickson still decline to avail himself of this opportunity . ofresigning, now for the last time presented to him, I shall feel it my duty to adhere to the decision that he be displaced. I have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's obedient Sextant, ' (Signed) ' J. PEEL. To Field Marshal the Viscount Combermere, G.C.8., &c. • 10, Stanhope-terrace, Hyde-park-gardens, Nov. 25, 1858. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of the 20th inst., together with a copy of •a letter addressed by the Secretary for War to Viscount Combermere, and in reply I beg you ,will inform his lordship that in the my 'Own 'honour and standingservice in vindication of adhere to ray determination not to resign m y com mission, as I feel confident that when fairly brought, as I intend to be, face to face with my accusers, I shall be able to prove that the charges of Colonel the Earl of Wilton arc as frivolous as they are false, and as an officer and a gentleman I have never dis graced a profession to which i t has been to say, is ap proved .ray pride for so many years to belong. p a i i ) l 3- d a larg e c i rc l e ' lit l ar a y m mn a of friends who have done me the honou r t o l oo k i nto Th is , o d f e i t 3 e y rm eN i . n er a 3 t , io m n i all the circumstances and correspondence connected with the ease, independent. of which, having taken legal advice on the subject, I hereby solemnly pro test Against the Seefetary 'for .War's sentence, as being contrary to law----vide Militia Act. 55 Geo. - m., c. 168, secs. 1,2, w hi c h requ i re d ue notice of any offence' int'olvi ng ' punishment being served upon the accused - within' six months after the cinbodiment of the regiment; and as my offence, if proved, after all, is admitted to be only an error of Judgment with regard to the mess by Gen. Peel, and that took place in 1855-6, during the embodi- . wilt of the regiment, and as no notice whatever has subsequently been delivered to me, the illegality of the recent and• partial proceedings, and my threatened displacement founded upon them, is as undeniable as it is unprecedented.—l am, sir, your very obedient servant, (Signed) LOTHIAN S.
