ESKELL, Surgeon Dentist, 8, Lower Grosvenor-street, Sole Inventor and Patentee of an Invention which has for its object the Perfect and Painless Adaptation of ARTIFICIAL TEET Ft, upon a novel prin ciple, whereby one set of teeth lasts a lifetime, and a second, or reserve set, is unnecessary. Changes take place in the mouth from absorption of gums or removal of stumps, teeth, arc., and ordinary sets would, under these circumstances, be comparatively useless, or only rendered available at some cost, but upon Hr. Eskell's patented process they are not im paired in the slightest degree. Residents abroad, or in the country, have it in their power to adjust their artificial teeth at all times without the aid of a dentist.

TO THE EDITOR or THE MORNING STAR. SlR,—The letter of Dr. Wilson, of the 11th June, in the "Morning Star" of June 14th. clearly establishes the fact that the London Hospitals are in a state of bankruptcy, and he offers to treat patients on the homoeopathic plan, in order to do away with this state of bankruptcy. Now, it appears to us that nothing can pos-ibly be more derogatory or de grading to such a man as Lord Brougham, than the fact of his being popped into the ohair at these hospital dinners, in order to obtain a good lot of subscriptions. Is there, we ask, any difference between such a scheme and that of obtaining money under false pretences ? If Lord Brougham had been in a position to understand the merits of the cause he was called upon to support, it wou.d have been a very different thing, but what is the fact ? Why, that Lord Brougham may. for anything lse knows to the contrary, be supporting a sys tem of medicine which is a curse to the country. What a pitiable sight to see his lordship prostratinghis great talents at the altar of the medical Juggernaut, He knows nothing of the matter, only that doctors wanted more money for their hospitals, and therefore his lordship was callectupon to be the decoy duck for the occ4sion. Oh, oh. What an exhibition. It Lord Brougham had had the principles of the system pur sued by doctors placed befo r e hi m , and that he understood and supported them, we should have looked very differently on the question. Hygeists publish their p inciples to the world, and it is, therefore, competent for any person to sup port or oppose those principles, but with doctors it is a mass of confusion, which they themselves don't understand, and suffering humanity bears the burden—this is what my Lord Brougham supports, Hospitals (as now constituted) are no thing but houses to make experiments on the poor and to en rich doctors. Let the public look to it. For the reasons before mentioned, Hygeists have, from the first, protested not only against the practice of great men filling the chair on such occasions, but also of clergymen preaching on behalf of hospitals.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius.—Before Mr. Baron Martin.) THE QUEEN V. LEATHAM.-BRIBERY AT WAKEFItLD. The court was crowded this morning, in conse quence of the learned judge having fixed to-day for commencing the trial of the electioneering bri bery cases from Wakefield and Beverley. The Solicitor-General, in stating the case, oh served that it was a criminal information filed by the Attorney-General, for whom he had the honour to appear that day, against Mr. William Henry Leatham, for bribery at the Parliamentary election which took place at Wakefield in the month of April last year. The charge against the defendant, who was one of the candidates at that election, was twofold—namely, for advancing and providing money ' for the purpose of bribing the electors of that borough ; and secondly, that the money which he had so furnished he caused to be actually expended in bribing various individuals. On the occasion of the election to which he had referred there were two candidates in the field. One of them was the de fendant, who appeared on the Liberal side of poli tics ; and the other was Mr. Charlesworth, who espoused Conservatism. The defendant was elected by a very small majority. It was found necessary to challenge the return of Mr. Leatham on various grounds, a petition was presented, and Mr. Leatham was unseated. An address was presented by the House of Commons praying for a commission of in quiry. On the 20th August following a commission was issued by the Crown. The commissioners had summoned before them a large number of persong, and those persons whose evidence was given in a satisfactory manner received a certificate of indem nity against any criminal inquiry being preferred against them. Amongst others who were examined was the defendant, and after he had made a state mentbefore the commissioners they declined to grant him a certificate of indemnity, his examination not being deemed satisfactory. In addition to the de fendant, other parties were examined before the commissioners, and although it was clear they were concerned in the bribery that took place from their own statement, the commissioners believing, to Brae use of a common phrase, that they " had r 4 ad e a clean breast of it," acquitted these persons from the penal consequences which attached to them by granting them certificates, and they would be called as witnesses in the present iniestigation. The So licitor-General, after a rexiew of the leading facts of the case, contended that Mr. Leatham had know ingly expended a large sum of money in excess of what was legitimate and proper —an amount which had never come before the election auditor. The several witnesses alluded to by the learned gentleman having been examined, Mr.. James, Q.C., for defendant, contended that the information was not made out on the following. grounds :—First, that there was no evidence of any authority from the defendant; secondly, it did not appear that the process was issued within 12 months of the act committed. Mr. Mellish, on the same side, contended that the indictment set forth that the money was paid by the defendant to Gilbert, and was no evidence in support of any such allegation. Mr. Quinn contended there was no proof of any authority given by Mr. Leathani to Wainwright to pay the money to Gilbert. Mr. Baron Martin, without calling on the Soli citor-General, said, in construing this Act of Par liament, he should hold that there was no proceed ing for any penalty or forfeiture, but a prosecution for a misdemeanour. He saw nothing in this Act of Parliament to prevent this prosecution being instituted by the Attorney-General for the Crown. As to the second point, his opinion was that there was evidence to go to the jury that Mr. Leathern had thought proper to place this money in the hands of Mr. Wainwright to use as he thought proper for the purposes of election. Mr. James asked for leave to have a special ver dict entered, in order -that his Lordship's ruling might be reviewed. His Lordship had no objection if the Solicitor- General assented. The Solicitor-General, on the part of the At torny-General, had no objection to any course which would enable the opinion of a Court of Error to be taken on that single objection. Mr. James then proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the defendant, a gentleman of station and character, who was charged with a degrading offence, which ha was authorised to say his very soul abhorred. Mr. Baron Martin having summed up the evidence, The jury, after•an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. There are yet seven other cases of this descrip tion to dispose of, three against persons on the Liberal side at Wakefield, and four against per sons on the Conservative side, and two against per sons implicated in charges of bribery at the Beverley election.

This gallant little vessel, which played so con spicuous and interesting a part in the final expedi tion that succeeded in solving the mystery . as to the fate of Sir John Franklin and his companions, and which leaves this port this evening . on another" ex pedition of great comme rc ial and scientific interest, was honoured with a visit to day by her Maj▪ esty and the Prince Consort. On the occasion of the Prince embarking in the do c ks on Tuesday evening for Osborne, on his return from the Internati▪ onal Statistical Congress in London, his Royal Highness expressed a wish that the Fox should be taken down to Osborne-bay; in order that an opportunity might be afforded to the Queen and himself to pay her a visit. The Fox•was accordingly sent to Os borne last night, and took up her moorings off the Royal landing-place ; and this morning she was put in readiness for the Royal visit. At half-past 10 the Fairy steamed alongside, with her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Royal children now at Osborne, on board. The Royal party were received, on stepping on board the Fox, by the officers who are going on the expedition— viz., Capt. Allen Young, the commander ; Mr. T. E. Davies, R.N., second in command ; Dr. Rae, F.G.S., who volunteers as a surgeon and naturalist; Col. Shaffner, the principal concessionnaire ; Lieut. Von Zeilaw and Mr. Olaffsson, two Commissioners sent out by the Danish Government; Mr. J. E. Woods, secretary to the expedition; and by other gentlemen interested in the undertaking. Captain Young and Dr, Rae wore their Arctic medals. Her Majesty and. the Prince walked round the ship, minutely inspecting the various instruments to be used for taking soundings, &c., and thesledges and appliances provided for the land travel and sur vey. The sledge used by Captain M'Clintock in his Franklin voyage, which is on board the Fox, was an object of especial interest to the Royal party. The Prince Consort and some of the suite went low, and examined the cabins and berths occupied by M'Ciintock and Young in their Arctic voyage, expressing surprise at the smallness of the apart ments in which those heroic men were confined for so long a period in those desolate regions. The Queen then desired the officers to be pre sented to her individually, and her Majesty graci ously addressed a few words to each of them spe cially. To Dr. Rae her Majesty said that she had heard much about him and his great scientific re searches, and jocularly remarked that Arctic travel could not be such very bad service after all, as he was looking so remarkably well. Her Majesty en tered freely into conversation with Captain Young about his former voyage in the Fox, and the remains of Franklin's expedition, and asked him if he be lieved there was any possibility of any member of that devoted band of men being yet :live. The Queen expressed her surprise at the smallness of the vessel for such expeditions as she had under taken and was about to undertake ; and Captain Toung, explained to her Majesty the mode of her construction, and the strength with which she was built, which fitted her for any service whatever. The Prince Consort expressed his admiration at the manner in which the Fox is fitted out, and in quired under whose directions, and at whose ex pense it had been done. On Capt. Young reply ing that it was Mr. J. R. Croskey, that gentleman was, at the request of the Prince, introduced to the Queen and himself. Mr. Croskey explained to the Royal visitors the proposed route and the general nature or the undertaking, and took occasion to thank her Majesty . for the grant of the Bulldog, with which vessel it is intended the Fox shall co operate, and communicate on all possible occasions. Colonel Shaffner was also honoured with an intro duction, and gave some explanations of his former voyage over the route proposed for the cable, and showed to the Royal pa r ty th e act i on of the deep sea sounding apparatus and o th er instruments to be employed in the survey. Copies of the maps and plans connected with the line were handed to her Majesty. The Royal party remained on board the Fox about half an hour, and on leaving both her Majesty and the P r i nce C onsort expressed their satisfaction with everything they had seen on board, and stated that they considered the project a very feasible one and likely to be accomplished, and they wished it every success. The crew of the Fox manned the rigging, and gave three hearty cheers as the Royal party left f or t h e Fairy, The Fox is fitted out with every possible conve nience for her interesting voyage, on which it is hoped that she will not be occupied longer than until the end of November. A complete set of meteorological instruments has been presented by the Board of Trade, through the kindness of Rear- Admiral Fitzroy, the hydrographer to the Ad miralty ; and a full supply of astronomical and mathematical instruments has been lent by the Admiralty. She also carries out the necessary apparatus for deep sea soundings, and all the requi site appliances for the survey by sea and land. Most probably the Fox will proceed by the north of Scotland direct to the F aroe Islands, where it is anticipated she will not be delayed longer than two or three days in selecting a fav oura bl e l an d ing p l ace for the cable. On leaving the Faroe Islands she will proceed direct to Iceland, making deep sea soundings by th e wa y. C aptain Young and his officers will be engaged on the east side of Iceland in sounding for and selecting a favourable place for landing the cable; whilst the survey of the interior for the land line will be simultaneously carried on by Dr. Rae and his party, consisting ef Colonel Shaffner, Mr. Woods, and the two Danish mem bers of the expedition. After visiting the west coast of Icela n d, a t a point selected by Captain Young, the Fox will proceed to some point on the southern coast of Greenland, making deep-sea soundings and examining the character of the bot tom as s h e cont i nues her voyage. Here again Captain Young an d his officers will be engaged in examining th e var i ous bays, for the purpose of de termining the fa voura b le point for the east of Green land termini, while Dr. Rae and his party will make an exploration ,of the interior through ,ground never yet crossed. After visiting the west coast at some poi n t near Julianshaab, whence the cable will be c arr i ed across to Labrador, the Fox will take t h e proposed route to Hamilton Inlet, o n t h e Labrador coast; and, after making a complete survey of the inlet, she will re turn direct to Europe. In addition to the primary object of the voyage— viz., the survey for .the North 'Atlantic Telegraph, the officers composing this expedition will take every opportunity of o.bserving and recording such scientific facts as will increase the amount of knowledge at present. possessed in reference to the geographical,. geological, and mineralogical features of this portion of the globe. The Fox returned to thi s port after the Royal visit, and she sails hence on her interesting mission some time to night. the greatest danger from the horse-riding would result to nurses and children. Sir J. SHELLEY, M.P., said his table was daily covered with letters from his constituents and others, begging him to use what influence he possessed to prevent this act of Vandalism for the mere advan tage of the aristocracy being carried out. He warned the right hon. gentleman that, if he per sisted, they would have to make an appeal to her Majesty, as unless that was done an im pression would get abroad that her Majesty sanc tioned the proceeding, and it might lead to some serious public disturbances on the working classes and mass of the people, who felt that they were being deprived of their rights. Mr. EDWIN JAMES, M.P., agreed with Sir J. Shelley that a persistence might lead to a popular excitement, so deep was the interest felt in the question. His own belief was that her Majesty would not. tolerate this proceeding. Mr. BOYLE, Mr. ANTROBUS, Mr. BANTING, and other gentlemen addressed the Hon. Commissioner, and contended that while the Ranger could restrict these encroachments in Hyde Park. the only appeal was to the Crown in places like Kensington-gar dens. The Hon. W. COWPER combated the argument that there was any distinction with respect to his own authority in Kensington-gardens and in Hyde Park, and he must say that the way in which the name of her Majesty had been introduced by his hon. friends, Sir J. Shelley and Mr. James, he con sidered. most unconstitutional and uncalled for. It was on the Minister who advised a particular course to 'be taken that the responsibility rested, and in reference to the position he held he (the Hon. Mr. Cowper) was fully prepared to take upon himself that responsibility. He believed tifat in carrying out this ride he was not only paying deference to the feelings of the riding public but of the walking public also. (" No no.") As a proof, of this he appealed to the hundreds of pedestrians who daily delighted to sit or walk and see the equestrians in Rotten row. The three points urged against this new ride were its danger, that it destroyed the quiet of Kensington -gardens, and also injured the beauty of the gardens. He could not see that either of these points was sustained. He must confess he was surprised at the number of the memorialists, as from what he had heard he considered people were generally in favour of it. (No, no. In answer to Lo r d Enfield, the H on. Mr. Cowper admitted that no representation had been made tq him, either public or private, that equestrians re quired further accommodation for riding than Rotten-row, but he had made the road on the prin ciple of giving pleasure to all classes. He further said, if a good case were made out, he had no ob jection to make such alterations as would obviate any supposed inconvenience or danger to the public. The deputation then withdrew. THE BANKRUPTCY AND IASOLVENCY BILL. The country will learn with much less satisfaction than was manifested by the House of Commons —which invariably cheers every intimation of abandoning a bill at this period of the session— that the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill is aban doned. We had hoped that we should have been able to show this one completed measure as the result of this laborious session. We had even believed that out of the mass of intentions we should have had this one performance. But it is not to be. The session is to be barren of all good. The Attorney-General had succeeded in getting the principle of his bill affirmed; he had passed all his money clauses through the perilous stage of the committee ; he seemed to have tided over all the most difficult rocks in his course ; when suddenly, upon the occurrence of a little danger, which, as he himself says, was not very fatal even at its wor3t, he deliberately scuttled his ship in calm water. Perhaps, it may have been a vessel of too deep a draught ; perhaps, as Sir H. Cairns suggested, it would have been better to amend the present law by a separate bill, and to consolidate the whole law by a subsequent Conso lidation Bill ; perhaps, as Mr. Matins observed, the measure had already been so deprived of its symmetry that it would not do the Attorney-Gene ral the credit which the labour he had bestowed upon it ought to have obtained for him; but still an immense deal had been done, and a little judi cious firmness might have got through the rest. As to the difficulty of the House of Lords, we can not suppose that the Attorney-General has not been in communication with the law lords upon the provisions of his bill. Whether this session or next session, it would be useless to send a bill of this character to their house without having pre viously ascertained the opinions of the sages. But the discussion there would be in five or six hands, and the decisions are doubtless already formed. We are very glad to echo the compliments which were skowered upon Sir C. Bethell from both sides of the house for the zeal with which he has laboured on this subject, but we wish the Cabinet had shown a little more persistence. We commend the toil with which our legal Sisyphus has rolled the stone so far up the hill, but we repine at the decision of those hard Fates which compel him to faint at the critical moment, and to allow it to roll down again. The point at which this bill broke off was that which swept all the non-trading portion of the com munity under the provisions of the general Law of Bankruptcy. We venture to think that the dis agreement between the House of Commons and the Attorney-General upon this subject was only a misapprehension, which two or three well-drawn clauses might have removed. Sir R. Bethell com plains that he had been encouraged to believe the house agreed with him as to the policy of submit ting all insolvents, whether traders or non-traders, to the same process of law. We apprehend that the house and the country generally do, to this ex tent, agree with Sir It. Bethel!. The principle is that every man, be he trader or non-trader, if he be unable to pay his debts, ought to be depriv e d o f w hat property . he has, and that, when this has been dis tributed pro rata, he shall go free if he has been only unfortunate, and that he shall be further punished if he has been fraudulent or prodigal. That principle is still admitted. The mistake made by Sir R. Bethel! was in applying the same test of in solvency to traders and to non-traders. Here it was that the house interposed; and the house was right both in practice and in theory. There is no identity in the circamstances of these two classes in this matter. The non trader is not a man whom anybody is obliged to trust. Credit is his habit, but it is not his business. Credit is, for the most part, forced upon him by the trader, and the term of that credit is almost always indefinite. The country gentleman, or annuitant, or professional man goes about with a certain quantity of loose debts which no general policy requires that he should be seized by the throat and made to pay at any particular moment. He shuts up his house and goes abroad, he corresponds with no one but his private friends and his bankers, and if he were put under the same stringent rules as the trader, any cost-seeking attorney or malevolent individual might make him a bankrupt, and divide his pro perty while he was enjoying himself in his autumn holyday. On the other hand, the trader's whole business is credit, and his whole life one of eon tinual watchfulness as to the collection and dis charge of debts, which have an exactly aseer, tained date of payment. Ho has a cow:Ail-Ig house or a shop, with olerks or foremr..4l always upon the spot, always ready to pay and to re ceive. He does not shut nil ills shop and paper his blinds. If ho goes to the lakes of Westmoreland or to Switzerland, nobody can make him a bankrupt by surprise, for, unless he be really insolvent, his debtor finds the counting house open, and some one may to , pay him. The cases are in no way alike, and provisions which are reasonable, and even necessary, in the one case would be a gross tyranny in the other. We pointed this out some days since, and are probably in some degree the cause of the opposition which has arisen to this part of the bill. All the house asked was that this difference should be acknowledged, and that the mode of testing insolvency should be different in the case of the trader from that of the non-trader. When these tests have operated, then the house was quite willing to let the law take its course evenly over all debtors. Surely this was not an unfounded or a vexatious objection to the bill as it stood, nor did it go to the vital portion of it Nothing, then, had occurred which justified the Government in abandoning this bill on the ground of opposition from the House of Commons. It was really the only good bill which has been brought forward this session. Yet this is the measure they are so ready to abandon. They might have got this bill through, and they have wilfully sacrificed it. Nay, it would have got through by its own allurements, for everybody wanted to see it safe. The have abandoned it, and for what ? Perhaps, as they think, to get their supplies voted more rapidly, their Indian measures continuously consi dered, the necessary bills passed, and the session brought to a close. We are afraid they reckon KENSINGTON-GARDENS. Yesterday a numerous deputation, headed by Lord Enfield, M.P., Sir John Shelley, M.P., and. Mr. Edwin James, M.P., from the vicinity of Ken sington and Bayswater, waited upon the Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., Chief Commissioner of Public Works, to present a memorial, signed by 1,500 inhabitants of the districts mentioned, pray ing that the new horse road and carriage drive through Kensington.gardens may be immediately abolished, and the gardens restored to their original state. Lord ENFIELD, in introducing the deputation, stated that the experience which the inhabitants of Kensington had when, in con sequence of the Great Exhibition of 1851, a road was made temporarily through Kensington-gardens, had convinced them of the danger which would result to the lives and limbs of pedestrians, and more especially children, were this new road in connection with the ride at Rotten-row to be permitted to be con tinned. He had ridden over the ground on the pre vious day for the purpose of forming his own judg ment, and he was firmly convinced that it was not only an infringement on the rights of the public, who had for many years had the opportunity of enjoying Kensington-gardens as a place of recrea tion, but absolutely dangerous. He begged to re mind the right hon. gentleman that these encroach ments upon the comforts of the peopl e oug h t not to be made recklessly, and that if they were there would in all probability be great pub!ie demon strations and excitement in the matter. Indeed, he could as-sure the Hon. Chief Commissioner th a t he believed he had but little support in either House of Parliament upon the point, and therefore he hoped to see the road abandoned, and Kensington gardens at once reclaimed. (Loud cries o f " H ear, hear.") Mr. R. GURNEY then road the memorial, and said it had been signed with the utmost alacrity by 1,500 persons of all ranks in two days, and, if they had only made the matter more public, the signa tures would have been multiplied tenfold. Not only were the beautiful flower-beds destroyed, but PRICE 4 1 '• STAMPED. 5D very much without their host. The time they have surrendered will be wasted. That very small minority which is so determined in its obstruc tion to the India Forces Bill already sees an opportunity for spending a few evenings in divi sions upon repeated motions for adjournment. Surely the Government does not prefer this unpro fitable expenditure of time to the labour of passing a really creditable bill. We cannot suppose that they prefer to the English Bankruptcy Bill that Irish Tenure Bill, which, if passed, must take as much time as might have sufficed for the measure they have sacrificed. We do not accuse them of the cruelty of washing to destroy that one jack snipe of the great Irish preserves, that convenient bird al way readys to be flushed, which has already afforded game through so many sessions, and which no one desires to see popped off. We cannot imagine that they intend to facilitate the perpetration of that gross job of the metropolitan members, and to give time for the huddling through of the Metropolitan Board of Works Bill, the tyrannical powers of which Sir G. Lewis vainly attempted to expose to a thin, impatient, and carefully packed house. A Bill for the Repeal of the Act of Succession might, we believe, slip through in the ruck just now, as may readily be exemplified to any person's satisfaction who will look at the clauses of this impudent measure, and then remember that, voluminous as it is, it passed through committee in one sitting, and without examination. The time which mast now necessarily be expended in stoppir.g this bill might have passed a hundred clauses of the Bankruptcy Bill. That the London Corporation Bill should be given up was a matter of course ; that the Indian Army Bill must be passed is, pace Mr. Horsman, as obvious a necessity ; but we very much doubt whether Lord Palmerston will find that the public generally will be satisfied with his choice of " the victims already , sacrificed on the altar,of necessity." The abandon ment of this Bankruptcy Bill is the capital disgrace of the session.— Times. L.ITV IIVTELLIGENCE.-.Tuly 19. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley.) FAWCETT V. LAURIE AND OTHERS.--THE UNION BANK. Mr. Glasse and Mr. Bates moved, on the part of he plantiff, who with Mrs. Ann Fawcett is co ;rustee of 110 shares, Mrs. Ann Fawcett's name standing first in the place of her late husband in the list of shareholders for 110 shares, to restrain the defendants, P. N. Laurie, James Farquhar, and others, directors of the Union Bank of London, from making, declaring, or paying any dividend to the shareholders of the bank, except out of the profits or surplus fund of the said bank, and from paying a dividend on the 20th of July, and from debiting, charging, or encumbering the capital with £720,000, or any other sum otherwise than the same was liable to the debts of the hank. The bill al leged that in April, 1860, it was discovered that owing to the wilful neglect and default of the direc tors, George Pullinger had been enabled to commit a fraud on the company by abstracting a portion of the funds of the company in the Bank of England to his own use, whereby the balance standing in the Bank of England in the names of the directors was £306,636 7s. 4d. instead of £569,706 10s. 2d., being £263,125 Gs. 10d. less than there ought to have been ; and as only £11,116 14s. 10d. had been recovered from Pullinger, the result was that there was a clear loss of £252,008 12s. Plaintiff sub mitted that the directors were personally liable to make good the loss sustained, and prayed the in junction upon the payment of dividends, or that the company might be wound up if necessary. The Vice-Chancellor said he need not now enter into the question as to whether the plaintiff had a locus standi, or whether the directors had a right to re-transfer from the capital account the sum of £120,000, or whether it was competent for the general meeting of shareholders to give their autho rity to do so. Upon neither of these grounds should he decide this motion, but he should decide it on the grounds given by Lord Cottenham in dissolving the injunction granted by the Master of the Rolls in Carlisle's case. In that case an Act of Parlia ment had been passed transferring to the South- Eastern Railway Company the power to make cer tain braneh railways, and there was a provision that if they did not make the railway within three years they should not be competent to declare any dividends on the general shares of the company. The railways were not finished within time fixed, but notwithstanding that the company declared dividends in two separate half-years after the expiration of the time. Mr. Carlisle moved for an injunction, professedly on behalf of himself and the other shareholders, to restrain payment of the divi dend. Lord Cottenham said he had no hesitation in giving an injunction to restrain future declara tions of dividends, but as the dividend had been declared the position of the parties was this—that a right had been conferred on the shareholders to demand payment of the dividend, and each indi vidual shareholder could bring his action against the directors to enforce payment of his dividend. And he said that he could not, in the absence of the other shareholders, stop payment of the dividend declared, though he would grant an injunction to stop the declaration of future dividends. It appeared to him that he could not grant the injunction asked in this case so far as related to the payment of the dividend which had been declared. With regard to that part of the prayer which asked that no future dividends should be paid except out of the surplus profits, it was not necessary for the protec tion of the plaintiff that he should determine that question now. The real substance of the applica tion was to restrain the payment of the dividend which had been declared. He had given his deci sion as to that, but he could not express an opinion on the other part of the motion without going into the merits of the ease generally, which it was not now necessary to do. He therefore refused the ap plication so far as it sought to restrain the payment of the dividend which had been declared, and the costs of the motion and the rest of the question would stand over till the hearing of the cause. (Before Sir J. Stuart.) KELLY V. BAILEY. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendant from printing, publishing, and sell ing a work called " The History, Topography, and Directory of Worcestershire." The plaintiff was proprietor of the "Post-office Directory of Bir mingham, with Warwickshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire, and he alleged that the work of which he now sought to restrain the sale and pub lication was a copy and piracy of his own. For the defendant it was said that he did not know where the proprietor of " The History, Topography, and Directory of Worcestershire" lived; that he (the defendant) had no copies of that work in his possession, having sent all that he had printed to the bookbinder, and that he had no intention of again printing the work.

It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution, and from the evidence of the witnesses called by him, that the prisoner, who is a soldier belonging to the 29th Regiment, was in April last on furlough at Hull, and went first to stay with his sister, a Mrs. Todd, at Hull, and afterwards lodged with a person named Taylor. While staying with his sister he made the acquaintance of the deceased, Mrs. Eliza beth Ann Parker, a young widow, who lived with her mother, Mrs. Sleight, and stayed at the house of Mrs. Sleight. A rumour having reached them that he had overstayed his leave of absence, they got rid of him, and he then went to lodge with Taylor. He continued to call at Mrs. Sleight's, and on the morning of the 23d of April he went there as early as eight o'clock, and remained till about eleven, talking with Mrs. Parker. At eleven he went out to a neighbour's named Burnham, and asked for a pipe, and then went back to Mrs. Sleight's. There he bade goodbye to Mrs. Parker and gave her a kiss, and suddenly put his arm round her neck and cut her throat with a razor. Mrs. Burnham heard her name called twice,. and then a cry o f mur d er, an d o n looking out eo her doo r saw t h e pr i soner and Mrs. Parke r scuffling togeth er , s h e having her han d on his shoulder, and he attempting get_ away. Mrs. Park er was cov ered with blood , andshe saw the prison er make his escape from her and run away. On going to Mrs. Parker she was found with a deep wound at the side of her neck, which bled profusely, two large veins having been divided. Before she died Mrs. Parker made a declaration that the prisoner called at eight o'clock that morn ing, and sat talking for three hours. She had no THE UNION BANK OF LONDON. The dividend of 5 per cent. for the half -Sear de clared on the 11th inst. by the Union Bank of Lon don will b 2 paid to-day in due course, the applica tion for an injunction having been refused. The judgment of the Vice-Chancellor, however, seems not to impugn the propriety of the application on the part of Mr. Fawcett, but simply determines that the present dividend may be paid now that it has been declared, leaving open the question whether the declaration of future dividends may not be re strained. It is simply, in fact, a technical point that has been decided, and not the merits of the case, which will stand over, together with the ques tion of costs, for a future hearing. The discussion of the personal liability of the Board for the Pul linger loss is also deferred, and is not expected to come on.before January next. On this matter there was originally but one feeling—namely, that the loss having arisen solely from oversight and error of judgment, it would be altogether unjust and im politic to visit the directors with individual punish ment, more especially as the shareholders were still upon balance indebted to them for a highly pros perous condition of their property. Butjust in proportion as this argument makes in favour of the directors in one way, it makes against them in another. By their treatment of Mr. Henderson and others they have proclaimed to the world that, in their opinion, so far from faithfulness of service, integrity of character, or absence of wrong intention being counted as pleas in mitigation of mistakes or omissions, severity in such cases should be carried to the extreme point of turning forth the offenders to utter destitution, and if possible with blighted reputations. Let them be judged, there fore, by their own doctrines and practice, and even the exaction from them of the full amount of Pullinger's defalcations would appear an in adequate penalty. Of course, even in the face of their own proceedings, it is still not wished that any such result should take place. For bearance is the best reproach to those who render none. But there can be no question that the facts which have transpired in this respect have created an almost universal change in • the feeling of the public, and that there would now be little sympathy with the directors even if the steps commenced were , to end unfavourably. It is necessary to put this on record, not merely in justice to English sentiment, but also in the interests of that large and valuable body of upright men who pass their lives in the routine duties of clerkship, and who, when they have arrived at a state too late to begin the world again, are entirely dependent on the honour of their employers for their future existence and the due recognition of their services.—Tinzes' City Article.

The Governor• Genei al, Prince Wassiltchikoff, inaugurated them by a speech, in which he endeavoured to make the assembly of the nobility perceive the impropriety of their present ing to the Emperor addresses similar to those for warded to him by the provinces of Volhynia and Podolia. These addresses petitioned his Majesty to allow the Polish language to be used in the schools and local tribunals, to suppress the obsta cles imposed on the exercise, of the Catholic reli gion, and to replace the election of judicial func tionaries on the same footing as in the other pro vinces of the empire inhabited by populations of purely Russian origin. The Governor-General re marked that these addresses remained unansweted, and dissuaded his hearers from following a like example. The Governor's advice was not listened to. The assembly of the nobility, strictly confining itself within legal limits, began at its first session, and before proceeding to any election, to draw up an address to the throne, containing the same demands e a mv s ae t jr h e, o st s thy e a o bt f yt t he h ois Polish ar e uidedr.The provinces, and decided, more ressshoaudlddrebses s w e a n s t a d p ir p e r c o t v t ed to his by by majorit yf ve o ted 2 64 withto 4 ; several the emamajority . ori m v e ; m a b h er d s, R one u o ss f ia th n o s minority, a Russian employe, who declared his vote aloud in a spirit of bravado, was expelled from the Chamber by his own compatriots and others who were present, amid general indignation.
