APPEAL.-JUDGMEtTT.-ORMES V. BEADELL. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, on taking valuation of work performed under a building contract. The plaintiff filed his bill for specific performance of a contract for building a house at Chelmsford for £1,400, and for payment of the work performed. The defendant alleged breach of contract, by non-performance of work according to contract. The Vice-Chancellor referred to valuators to value the work performed, and decreed accordingly. The appeal was fully argued by counsel on both sides, and the Lord Chancellor now delivered judgment. The Lord Chancellor said, on the ground that the plain tiff acted under the belief that the agreement of the 11th of December, 1858, was a valid agreement, and that he did so voluntary, and took advantage of it to the prejudice of the defendant, I am of opinion that the decree appealed against ought to be reversed, and that the bill ought to be dis missed. Ido not think lam called on to give any opinion as to whether the plaintiff would have been entitled still to the benefit of that agreement, if he had fulfilled it. On this part of the case I shall only remark from the evidence produced, that on the 13th of August, 1858, and for the reasons stated, that the plaintiff was not able to carry on the work and complete the building accor ing to contract--that it was for the advantage of both parties that the work should be abandoned, and the plain tiff paid according to the value of the work performed. The plaintiff acquiesced in the arrangement that the work should be completed by the workmen of defendant, and consented that a valuation should be made by the arbiters, Messrs. Chancellor and Copeland, and no objections were taken to their allocator. If the plaintiff had proceeded according to the agreement of the 11th of Decem ber, 1858, he would have been able to enforce it, but he consented that others should complete the work, and abandened the contract. The cases referred to of Wood and Downes are essentially different, and do not apply to the point to be decided in this case. His lordship was of opinion that the valuation and deci sion of the arbiters ought to be supported, and that the plaintiff was not entitled to take a second valuation to re verse it and set it aside. The Lord Chancellor reversed the decree of the Vice- Chancellor, and dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Gri,I4TLIMASLY AMUSEMENT.—Henry' Thomas and Henry Johnson, gentlemen, and who gate their address 7, Strand, were charged before Mr. Beadon as follows r Henry Ricketts, 126 C, said—This morning, at two, I saw the defendants coming through St. Martin's •court, and saw Johnson let off a cracker. I cautioned him, telling him it was a dangerous practice. They went on towards Leicester-square, and in crossing the square I saw Thomas, to the best of my belief, let off another firework, and at the commencement of Coventry -street saw Johnson let off another firework in front of a cab horse, which was so frightened as nearly to throw the driver from the box. I then took them into custody, and on the way to the station Johnson pulled some more out of his pocket, and gave them to a female walk ing by his side. Thomas said he had not let off any, but that it was his friend Johnson. They were walking arm-in-arm at the time, and lit the fireworks by means of their cigars. I saw Thomas put his cigar down as if to light the cigar, and; directly after the fireworks went off. Thomas said he did not smoke, but this was denied by Ricketts, who said they were both smoking cigars at the time. Mr. Beadon said it was fortunate for them they were not before him for manslaughter. They called themselves gen tlemen, and yet, when they know he had to punish little boys for the same offence, to think that they should set such an example It was disgraceful. He should fine them 40s. each, or a month. LIVERPOOL RAGES—(This Day). BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAM AINTREE PLATE. Gibraltar Corona Rara Avis Nine ran. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HEREFORD RACES.-TUESDAY.

For the Liverpool Cup Light remained very firm, 3 to 1 was taken during the day, but 7 to 2 was offered as the rooms thinned. There was a demonstration in favour of Moorcock and The Brewer, who each found friends at 10 to 1. Chere Amie received another shaking, 9to 1 being the offer at the` commencement, which very quickly became 20 to 1. An offer towards the close to back Weatherbound at 100 to 3 was not responded to.

CIVIL ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS.—Sir David Brewster, in his address inopening the winter session of the University of Edinburgh, of which he is Principal, on Friday made the following remarks on the necessity of mathematical attainments to civil engineers: —" Greatßritaia has always been distinguished among civilized nations for the magnitude and splendour of her public works ; but it is a remarkable circumstance that the engineers who executed them were neither methematicians, chymists, nor natural philosophers, but, generally speaking, persons of humble station, who, by habits of observation almost innate, by powers of discrimination almost intuitive, and by practical knowledge gathered in the wor k s h o p or acquired in manual labour, gradually rose to professional celebrity. Mr. Watt himself informed me that he never attended Dr. Black's lectures on chymistry, as has been alleged ; that he had been unfortunately prevented, by the necessary avoca tions of his business, from attending any other lectures i and that he had a natural inaptitude for mathematics ; an yet there was no one among tha 0hy...;...1 (....a atecnanica philosophers of his day whose knowledge of these subjects, within certain limits, was so varied and correct and who had treasured up with equal care those irrefragable results which could be safely applied in the construction of great works. Mr. Telford also e I had not only an inaptitude, but asingular distaste, for math l matical studies, and he never even made himself acquainted with the elements of geometry. So remarkable, indeed this peculiarity that, when we had occasion to rem" fur re young friend as a neophyte in his office, and foun ded in mathe matics, on his havingdistinguished himself.dered such matics, be did not hesitate to say that he const him for end a acquirements;as rather disqualifying than ie fitting .om being the situation.

A DRUNKEN CABMAN. —John Southern, a cab-driver, wearing the badge No. 12,602, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and vehicle. Chandler, a police-constable, No. 117 H, said that yes terday afternoon the prisoner was in a state of intoxication driving a horse and cab in a most reckless and furious manner in Caple-street, St. George-in-the-East, and caused great alarm and confusion. The prisoner ran down a corn chandler's man carrying a sack of wheat, and he was se verely hurt. The man, however, was very forgiving, and would not attend. The prisoner broke the fore-carriage of his cab and otherwise damaged it. The prisoner narrowly escaped being thrown from his vehicle. The prisoner said his passengers in the cab treated him, and he got a drop too much, but nothing would have hap • pened if the corn chandler's cart had not suddenly made a start from the side of the footpath. Mr. Selfe said the corn chandler's horse had nothing to do with the matter. The whole affair arose out o f the pri soner's drunkenness, and nothing could be more dangerous for the public safety than a drunken cabman driving reck lessly through the streets. He fined the prisoner 155., which was paid, and his license was given up to Mrs. Jones, the owner of the cab. James Anderson, who was in the prisoner's cab when he was arrested, was fined ss. for being drunk. THIS .DAY'S MAREETS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was a very scanty supply of English wheat on offer in to•day's market, in somewhat improved condition. Most kinds were in moderate request, but, compared with Monday, no change took place in the quotations. Upwards of 38,000 qrs. of foreign wheat having come fresh to hand, millers generally purchased with extreme caution, and for immediate wants only. In prices, how ever, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain ruled about stationary. Barley was in moderate supply and fair request at full currencies. Malt was in short supply and steady request on former terms. There was a good consumptive inquiry for oath at the late improvement in value. Both beans and peas commanded extreme rates, but the demand for both English and foreign flour was less active.

EXECUTION OF MULLINS.—James Mullins, con victed of the murder of Mrs. Emsley, will be executed at Newgate on Monday, the 19th inst. This is a departure from the ordinary course, which is that a person sentenced to death in London shall be executed on the Monday fort night following his conviction. Mullins was convicted on Friday, the 26th of October, and if the practice which has prevailed for many years had been carried out the day of his execution would have been Monday next, the 12th inst. The reason of the change has not transpired, but the Sheriffs have officially communicated to him the fact that Monday, the 19th inst., will be the day of his execution. LITERATURE. IThe Sea and its living Wonders. By Dr. G. Hartwig.—Longman. This work has been received with great favour in Germany, and deservedly so. Our Continental neighbours' appreciation of its merits is proved by the publication of a fourth edition. Ihe work before us is a translation from the German edition, partly h rew treatiritten and extend e d. D r. H artwig, althougng of a subject so replete with the marvellous as that of oceanic wonders, has suc ceeded in describing the extraordinary inhabitants of the deep, the individual peculiarities of the most remarkable species, together with the various seafowl, mamalia:, and moluscs which abound in all parts 'of the globe without drawing upon fancy. He commences his narrative with a dissertation on the peculiarities of different climates, and endeavours to prove in a logical man ner that the changes which have taken place in certain localities where rich fertile districts have, in the lapse of ages, degenerated into barren wastes is in a great measure owing to the wanton destruc tion of the forests by man, thus destroying tbo attractive influence which nature ordained to dra w moisture from the clouds. But this law wi'.l not apply to all countries, for we find vast tracts of country in Australia well timbered b'at almost destitute of water. In treating of the height and velocity of waves, the author quote's from several eminent philosophers, to show that the poetical de scriptions which are given by too many travellers, of mountain waves that kiss the skies and over hand the masthead, are altogether nonsense, but that the reality of their force and altitude is quite sufficient to strike awe into the hearts of the boldest without drawing upon imaginaiion. THE HEIGHT OF WAVES. The height which waves may attain on the open sea has been accurately investigated by the late Rev. Dr. Scoresby, during two passages across the Atlantic in 1847 and 1848. " In the afternoon of March 5, 1848," says that eminent philosopher, "I stood during a hard gale upon the cuddy roof or saloon deck of the Hibernia I a height, with the ad dition of that of the eye, of 23 feet 3 inches above the line of flotation (the ship's course being similar to that of the waves). lam not aware that I ever saw the sea more ter ribly magnificent; the great majority of the rolling masses of water was more than 24 feet high (including depression as well as altitude, or reckoning above the mean-level, more than 12 feet). I then went to the larboard paddle-box, about 7 feet higher (30 feet 2 inches up to the eye), awl found that one-half of the waves rose above the level of the view obtained. " Frequently I observed long ranges (200 yards), which rose so high above the visible horizon, as to term an angle estimated at two or three degrees when the distance of the wave's summit was about 100 yards from the observer. This would add near 13 feet to the level of the eye, and at least one in half a dozen waves attained this altitude. Some times peaks or crests of breaking seas would shoot upward, at least 10 or 15 feet higher. "The average wave was, I believe, fully equal to that of my sight on the paddle-box, or more than 15 feet, and the mean highest waves, not including the broken or acumi nated crests, about 43 feet above the level of the hollow oc cupied at the moment by the ship. It was a grand storm scene, and nothing could exceed the pictorial effect of the partial sunbeams breaking through the heavy masses of clouds." From the time taken by a regular wave to pass from stern to stem, Dr. Scoresby calculated its velocity at 4875 feet in each minute, or 32.67 English statute miles in an hour. The mean length of the wave-ridges was from a quarter to a third of a mile. To those who might be inclined to doubt the accuracy of these measurements, the remark may suffice that our cele brated countryman had been for years engaged in the northern whale fishery, where be had ample opportunities for practising his eye in measuring distances. Besides, the conclusions of many other trustworthy observers coincide with the evaluations of Dr. Scoresby. After describing the many curious effects of cur rents, and explaining that the great difference of temperature between places in the same latitude situated in the:Old and New Worlds is mainly caused by the warm currents, such as the Gult Stream, flowing from the tropics to the coast of Europe, and the icy waters from the pole sweeping round the American coast, he proceeds to pull to pieces not a few of the old traditions whic . i have been reli giously believed by our forefathers, but which this sceptical age of science and progress will not enter tain ; among others, the great Norwegian whirl pool is divested of its glory and danger : THE MAELSTROM, In narrow straits or in the intricate channels wjfich wind through clusters of islands, different tidal waves meeting from opposite directions give rise to more or less dangerous whirlpools. One of the most famous of these vortices, though inconsiderable in itself, is the renowned Charybdis, which gave so much trouble to Ulysses on his passing through the strait which separates Sicily from Italy, but i■ at present an object of fear scarcely even to the poor fisher man's boat. A much grander whirlpool, owing its celebrity, not to the fictions of poetry, but to the magnificent scale on which it has been constructed by nature, is the renowned Mael strom, situated on the Norwegian coast in 68 deg. N. lat., and near the island of Moskoe, from whence it also takes the name of Moskoestrom. It is four geographical miles in diameter, and in tempestuous weather its roar, like that of Niagara, is said to be heard several miles off. John Remus gives us a terrible description of its fury, and men tions that in the year 1645 it raged with such noise and impetuosity, that on the; island of Moskoe the very stones of the houses fell to the ground. He tells us also that whales frequently come too near the stream, and, notwith standing their giant strength, are overpowered by its vio lence, but, unfortunately adds, thlt it is impossible to de scribe their howlings and bellowings in their fruitless struggles to disengage themselves—impossible, no doubt, as whales happen to have no voice at all. According to more modern travellers, such as the cele brated geologist Leopold von Buch, the Maelstrom is far from being so terrible as depicted by Remus and other friends of the marvellous; so that, except during storms and spring-tides, large ships may constantly cross it with out danger. The Norwegian fishermen are even said fre quently to assemble on the field of the Maelstrom on ac count of the great abundance of fishes congregating in those troubled waters, and fearlessly to pursue their avoca tions, while the whirlpool moves their boats in a circular direction. Sir Robert Sibbald describes a very remarkable marine whirlpool among the Orkney islands, which would prove dangerous to stranger:, though it is of no consequence to the people who are used to it. It is not fixed to any parti cular place, but arises in various parts of the limits of the sea among these islands. Wherever it appears, it is very furious, and boats would inevitably be drawn in and perish with it, but the people who navigate them are prepared for it and always carry a bundle of straw or some such matter with them. This they fling into the vortex which imme diately swallows it up, and, seemingly pleased with this propitiatory offering, subsides into smoothness, but soon after re-appears in another place. We will not detain our readers with an account of I I the ornothology and zoology of the Arctic regions, into which Dr. Hartwig enters at some length, but proceed at once to a more remarkable sub ject, and introduce a phenomenon with which, we think, few are acquainted. Since the colonisation of the Cape of Good Hope, and our acquisition of India and our Australian colonies, flying fish are familiar acquaintances ; but few, we think, have met with bona fide members of the finny tribe tak ing pedestrian exercise ; but Dr. Hartwig relates the following among his icthyological wonders : PEDESTRIAN mu. The Frog-fish of the Asiatic islands and the Southern hemisphere is not more remarkable for its hideous defor mity than for its capacity of leading a terrestrial life. Not only can it live several days out of the water, but it can crawl about the room in which it is confined, a facility which it owes to the great strength and the peculiar posi tion of its pectoral fins, which thus perform the office of feet. The whole aspect of these grotesque-looking crea tures, particularly in a walking position, is so much like that of toads or frogs, that a careless observe would at first be at some loss to determine their real nature. _ A no less wonderful pedestrian is the Hassar (Boras eostato), a South American fish, that marches over land in search of water, travelling a whole night when the pools dry up in which it commonly resides. It projects itself forwards on its bony pectoral fins, by the elastic spring of the tail, exerted sidewise, and in this manner proceeds nearly as fast as a man will leisurely walk. The strong scuta or bands which envelope its body must greatly faci litate its march, in the manner of the plates under the belly of serpents, which are raised and depressed by a voluntary power, in some measure performing the office of feet. The Indians say justly that these fishes supply themselves with water for their journey. If they find the pools and rivers everywhere dried up, they bury themselves in the mud, and fall into a kind of asphyxia or lethargy, till the rainy season recalls them again to life. The Hassar is also remarkable for a parental affection, Richard Schotn almost unexampled among fishes. burgk relates that it not only builds completea Sir he utrnost vigilance spawn, but also watches over it with nest for its till the young brood comes forthilinlnntypergiletthaihsle artist begins to build his little d w elling ra fi a b ri re n s e , ntil it resembles a among the waterplants and rushes, hollow aperture correspond hollow ball, flattened at the top. held the m interior. eu aed h m T a h n e ing to the size of the mothr. ieandastnienfuito parental affection of the fish is s . . open for its destruction. is slight] small basket is held before the ing ; then the nest n! wound, fislightlhynabeeastheanrpwinthintaa asrtieck ableen tdo, furious, with extended 11 8 , w the poo r Hassar da p rts into the f a t a l inflict a painful basket.

The interview between Mr. Sowerby and young Robarts, in which the former betrays un wonted weakness, and hesitates to lay hands on the young man's little fortune, is capitally described. Sowerby wonders at himself, it is " so contrary to the practice of all his life, that it is as difficult to him as it is for a sportsman to let pass a cock pheasant." The sketch of "Tom Tozer," the bill-di6counter, is excellent—" the expression of his face was eloquent . with acknowledged roguery. 'I am a rogue, ' it seemed to say.

TSB LIABILITY OF , c H. 9 RF , HOLDERS L TWAT -STOCK BANES. .foe2iwz th s c u il b l i ze t y s M in ar u k . e h t ißchev the. There are fe w )mercantile community are more deeply interested than in the rights and liabilities of shareholders in the Joint- Stock Banks. It is instructive to trace the devious course of legislation upon the matter ; we propose, therefore, to give a brief outline of it. The distress and misery brought upon the coun try by the failure of privat e b anks during the years 1825 and 1826 induced the Government to interfere to prevent their recurrence. The remedy proposed was the repeal of the Act of 1708, W hi ch prevented the formation of banks with more than six partners. The Government, thereupon, entered into a correspondence with the Bank of England relative to the formation of Joint-Stock Banks. Limiting the liabilities of shareholders by charters of incorporation, was one of the conditions proposed. The Bank of England, jealous of their privileges, refused to support the' latter measure, but consented to the former. Accordingly the Act of 7 George IV., cap. 46, sanctioning the formation of banks with. more than six partners was passed, but it merely made the establishment of joint-stock banks per missive. The very loose manner in which the Act was framed, and the entire absence of all safe guards in respect of the interest of the shareholders as between each other, very soon became apparent. One glaring defect was, that if a customer of such banks overdrew his account, he being a share holder, no action for the recovery of the amount overdrawn could be maintained ; so also if an offi cer of the bank, being a shareholder, appropriated any of the monies of the bank improperly to his own use, he could not be prosecuted. These pal pable anomalies rendered it necessary for the Le gislature to pass several subsequent Acts all more or less providing for the omissions, and explaining away the doubts which arose in the construction of the Act; but the clause rendering every share ' holder liable in his individual capacity for all the debts and liabilities of the bank was on every oc casion repeated, it being enacted that such lia bility should continue for three years after he ceased to be a shareholder. Several attempts were from time to time made to introduce the doctrine of limiting the liability- of shareholders in Joint stock Banks, but this inva riably failed. It was very reasonably argued that as the Government had, in respect to the Australian Bank, sanctioned the limitation of the liability of shareholders, although their banking transactions were carried on many thousand miles off, whil s t the executive was in London, it was very unrea sonable that banks established on the spot, under a kind of Government supervision, should be deprived of a similar benefit, if benefit it is. It was urged. that what was good for Australia must assuredly be good for here. Whilst the pertinence of such reasoning was scarcely contested, the conclusions were denied, and the Government of the day re fused to sanction the introduction ofsuch a measure. The temporising poliey of Parliament respecting banking gave rise to Act 7 and 8 Vic., cap. 113. This statute was passed under the auspices of the late Sir It. Peel, who introduced two other measures of a like tendency, Any one might have supposed that a measure so imposingly brought before Par liament would have been perfection itself, seeing that the master-mind by whom it was inaugurated was regarded as almost infallible on the subject of currency and banking. This Act for the first time introduced several stringent regulations in respect to the establishment of future banks. All such were to be incorporated under letters patent from the Crown, and not otherwise. The minimum amount of the capital was fixed, as was also the amount of the shares into which the capital was divided. All the shares were to be placed, and one-half of every share of £lOO paid up; but it very soon appeared that all the provisions intended to protect the pub lic would end in affording no protection at all, they would be nugatory, if not absolutely mischievous. It soon came to be supposed that a charter of in corporation conferred special powers on the cor porate body, and that the difference between a shareholder's liability in an incorporated and in an unincorporated company was greatly in favour of the former. This proved a fallacy, and in no in stance so glaringly or so disastrously as in the failure of the Royal British Bank. We live in times very different from those when commercial corporations and charters could answer any good purpose. In our days industry and en terprise want no special protection. They merely want freedom, and, when left to themselves, will protect themselves. This principle has been solemnly recognised by Parliament, and every deviation from it produces mischief. A 3 a proof of the cramping character of the Act above cited imposing on all future banks the obligation of being chartered com panies, it may be mentioned that only two banks were formed under its provisions from 1844 to 1854 ; one of these was formed by the conversion of a private into a Joint-Stock BankAand the other was the Royal British Bank. Recent legislation has, however, swept the above and other Acts from the Statute-book. This was done on the recommendation of a committee of the House of Commons. It was not done, however, without delays and contradictions. The 19 and 20 Vic., cap. 47, passed 14th July, 1856, repeals the Joint-Stock Companies Act of 1844, and renders the formation of joint-stock companies, with limited liability, legal. The Act contains 116 clauses, an d , true to the old prejudice respecting banks, enac ts that nothing in this Act contained shall apply to . persons associated together for the purpose s of the banking or insurance. Yet in the following year 20 and 21 Vic., cap. 49, being " ActAn to Amend was the Law relating to Banking Companies," passed. This Act repeals the Joint-Stock Bank Act of 1844 ; it also repeals the above cla use, so far as relates to persons associated together for banking purposes, subject to this proviso, that no existing or future bank shall be registere d as a limited com pany. On the passing o f this Act, it was naturally so devious a course of legislation, supposed that after t he un limited liability of share the question of holders in banks was b for ever set at rest at not Act was so. The following year, 1858, another d ' ex p r essly to enable banks to be formed w i t h Passe • - This tinkering of the laws limited liability. relating to commer cial enterprise must na t urally tend to create distrust of the stability of the present law ; for what is to prevent the Legislature next session P assing another measure, stultifying the whole of their preceding Acts? Although we hea r o f one or two attempts to f orm new banks under the Limited Liability Act, yet up to this time no bank has absolutely come before the public to test the question as between limited and unlimited liability. It is quite true that the is former most to th e advantage of the shareholders; but whether it will be equally so to in a bank, Time, the great resolver of problems, must alone decide. Undoubtedly the old law de terred many influential and wealthy men from be coming directors and shareholders in banks. They IN ill now be able to do so without that dread of the consequences which is the result of unlimited. liability. The fact of 'only one of the existing English joint-stock banks having registered itself as a limited bank, is adduced as an argument against the practical value of the measure; but it must be borne in mind that there are several embarrassing regulations embodied in the Joint-Stock Companies Acts of 1856, which are almost sufficient to deter existing banks from enrolling themselves under s those acts. The general condition of thses permis sive aes re lating to banking is neither so clear nor so all the of freedom as could be desired.. patching which they have underg °e more is re statutes relating re quired.
