And besides you gave my supper away. HALF YEARLY MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the Great Northern Railway Company was held this day at the London Tavern. The chair was occupied by E. Denison, Esq., chairman of the board of directors. The usual routine business having been gone through, and the report, which has already appeared in The Sun, having been read, His Honour—But it is usual to pay for such accidents as these. Mr. Buchanan—Not when the dish flies in the oven. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the reception and adoption of the report, said the capital account showed the amount ex pended to the 30th June, 1858, to be £11,360,445 4s. 4d.; the payments since that date, £45,608 ss. 7d. ; the total expen diture on capital account up to 31st December, 1858, being £11,406,053 9s. 11d. The revenue account showed the re ceipts derived from all sources of revenue, and the expen diture of the past half-year, as compared with that of the corresponding period in 1857, to be as follows :-Gross receipts, December, 1858, £670,467 16s. 4d. ; gross re ceipts, December, 1857, £657,844 ss. Bd. ; increase in 1858, £12,623105. Bd. The total expenditure December, 1858, was £339,543 7s. 9d. ; 1857, £341,213 lls. 9d.: being a decrease in 1858 of £1,670 4s. The revenue available to meet fixed charges and dividend is £330,924 Bs. 7d. The amount due by the Eastern Counties Railway for the Royston and Hitchin rent is £8,400, and the balance available from last half year £675 6s. 3d. ; total, Dec., 1858, £339,699 14s. 10d. ; 1857, £325,758 3s. I ld. The increase in disposable revenue, Dec., 1858, being £13,941 10d. 11d. ; the disposable re venue, as above, being £339,699 14s. 10d. ; the rents and fixed charges, including interest on mortgage deeds, £108,680 3s. 2d. ; the preference dividends, £83,983 ; the balance for dividend on original and A and B stocks is £147,036 1 le. Bd. The directors, therefore, recommended that a dividend be declared at the rate of £6 2s. 6d. per cont. per annum on the original undivided stock, and upon the A and B stocks together, at the same rate. The original stock will then have received for the year 1858 £4 15s. per cent. The* balance carried to next half-year amounted to £136 10s. Having referred to the late proceedings in Chancery, the chairman observed that the du•ec tors had thought it necessary and advisable to introduce a bill into Parliament for power to construct a short branch, to effect a better communication with the North London Railway, near the goods station in London, and for the purchase of a small plot of land abutting on Maiden-lane. The bill contained clauses enlarging the company's power for the redemption of the preference stocks of the company, and authorising a reduction in the number of directors. Several bills promoted by other companies contained provisions affecting the interests of the com pany, and it might be necessary to oppose some of them, and to obtain protective or " facility" clauses in others ; and as it was evident that it was the intention of the Legislature to insist on a free and general interchange of traffic between railways, the directors will not fail to ask for such powers as may be necessary to secure unfetttered railway communication with those to which the Great Northern line forms a convenient means of access. The directors trust that these companies, in conjunction with the Midland and others, may be able to make still more extensive arrangements for conducting the traffic of their respective districts, and between each other, upon amicable terms and at remunerative rates. He concluded by mov ing the adoption of the report. Defendant—The dish was slightly cracked, and I think it is very hard I should have to pay. As to the supper being spoilt, I have the man in court who ate it, and he will tell you how it was. Accordingly an old man stepped into the witness-box, and said he remembered the supper in question—rather. (Laugh ter.) He should like such a one every night—especially at the price. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Buchanan—Did you eat it ? Witness—l should think I did. (Laughter.) Mr. Buchanan—And found it good ? Witness—Beautiful, and very cheap. (Laughter.) His Honour (to defendant)—You must pay the poor woman : you have eaten her supper. Defendant—Who ? I ? His Honour—Yes, by proxy. (Laughter.) Mr. Buchanan—She refused to take it away, and we got rid of it. His Honour--You eat it by proxy and enjoyed it very much, and must pay plaintiff and costs. Defendant—nhink it is very hard. His Honour (laughing)—Your own witness thought it vrey tender. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. HUGHES said the report presented to them by the directors contained many points,l for some of which they deserved commendation, and for others censure. He was glad an arrangement had been concluded with the London and North-Western Railway, and he also thought good would result from the reduction of the number of directors. What he most complained of was the delay in closing the capital account. Complaint after complaint had been made to the chairman about the account not being closed, and he had always said it was nonsense to talk about effecting such an object ; but ho (Mr. Hughes) thought the proprie tors should insist upon such being done. lie should like to know what objection there could be on the part of the Great Northern Railway to do that which the North- Western had already done. WHITECHATEL COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Manning.) TURNING THE TABLES-A ROLAND FOIL AN OLIVER- Mr. BILLINGS said ho had intended to have moved car fain resolutions with respect to the Manchester and Sheffield agreement, but as he had not given the usual notice he should be prevented from so doing. lie thought before the directors had decisively concluded the agreement the proprietors ought to have been consulted on the occasion. The CHAIRMAN said by their act of 1851, the directors had power to spend £60,000 in the construction of a sta tion, but that object had been effected by the payment of £25,000. (Hear, hear.) Although they had no direct property in the station, they had the right in perpetuity of using it in any way they thought fit. After some discussion, the report was received and adopted. _ _ _ Various other subjects, embracing the closing of the capital account, and the secretary's salary having been alluded to, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. LA W INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY) HOUSE OF LORDS. (Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and the learned law judges.) AFPEAL.-7-DOE (ON DEMISE) OF EVERS AND OTHERS V. CHALLIS.-WRIT OF ERROR FROM THE EXCHEQUER CHAMBERS. At the conclusion of Mr. Malins' reply for the appellant in this case, the Lord Chancellor proposed the fol lowing questions to the learned law judges for their opinions, viz., whether the devise by the testator to his daughter Mary Anne, and any child she might have on attaining twenty-one, was good ? She died childless in 1847• Did it convey any part of the pro perty to her ? Then the devise was to his brother's two daughters or the survivor of them—was this a good con veyance over ? Mr. Justice Wightman, for the learned judges, asked time to consider the questions. The Lord Chancellor allowed time to consider the ques tions, and the house adjourned duranteplaceto. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) APPEAL MOTION FOR JUDGMENT-IN RE THE ATIIEN)EITM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, finding, in the winding up of this company, that the shareholders were not liable for the debts of the company beyond the unpaid amount of their respec tive shares at the date of the dissolution of the company. A claim of £2,000 was made under a life policy by Mr. Richard Paul, for one year, from 3d Sept., 185.5, on which £25 premium had been paid, a question was raised in law and equity whether the secretary of the company or the shareholders were personally liable to pay this amount. By the articles of the company it was provided that the capital stock of the company should consist of £lOO,OOO, and it was declared that the shareholders of the company should not be liable for the debta of the company beyond the unpaid amount of their respective sharps. The official manager considered the shareholders per sonally liable, on failure of the assets, to pay this claim. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner, on referring to the cohtract of the company, which declared " the shareholders of the company shall not in any way be Personally liable for any charges beyond the amount un paid of their shares,", were decidedly of opinion that as there were no unpaid-up shares rai this company at the date of dissolution, the shareholders were not liable to pay this claim. Their lordships dismissed the appeal motion, with £2O costs, and declared that the costs of the action at law might be proved as a debt sgainst the bankrupt estate. Costs of the official manager to be paid out of the estate. POTTER V. BARNETT. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) LEVINE V. SOLOMON-IVPORTANT TO BAKERS. This case, arising out of an action tried at the Sheriffs' Court, and reported in this journal, caused considerable excitement in the court, inasmuch as the plaintiff now sought to recover from Barnett a sum of money (£4lBs. 6d.) which he had been condemned to pay one Smith in the first action, mainly through Barnett's evidence. Mr. Stedman appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Scott for the defendant. It appeared, from a mass of contradictory evidence, that a dispute arose between one Smith and the plaintiff in re ference to the purchase of a black gelding sold by auction at Merton. Plaintiff deposed that Smith attended the sale for him, but this Smith denied, and declared that he at tended the sale on his own account. I3e that as it may, it was ineontestibly proved that the gelding was knocked down to Barnett for 231 guineas. 'Barnett averred that he parted with all his interest in the horse to Smith for that money, but the price demanded from plaintiff was 281 guineas. After the horse was sent home plaintiff paid £25 on account. He discovered, however, that his friends (they had all been intimate, and visitors mutually) had made a profit out of the affair ; and, thinking it not altogether right, expressed. himself very strongly upon the matter. Indeed he qearrelled with Smith, and refusod to see him any more, sending in his bill (plaintiff is a butcher, of Jubilee-place) for meat. He also was very angry with defendant, and declared that he did not think his old friends would have treated him in such a manner. Accord ing to his testimony, he paid the balance between the £25 and the £29 ho was charged for his horse to Barnett, and then the defendant began to swear. Finally, it was agreed to cancel the bargain, and Barnett returned the £4, and upon receiving the horse sent a cheque for £25. At the Sheriffs' Court he said he bought the horse of Potter for £25, When Potter sued Smith for his claim for meat, Smith 'pleaded a set-off in reference to this gelding, and claimed the balance of the £29 18s. 6d., deducting £25. The Judge of the Sheriffs' Court gave him a verdict, and hence the present action, to recover the sum lost, Barnett having been a material witness for Smith on that occasion. Potter averred that he had paid for the gelding in full, by cancelling the purchase, and his Honour, after hearing some evidence, found for plaintiff, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) This was a summons to reoovor 3s. 4d. for damage sus tained by reason of the destruction of a dish, meat, and potatoes, entrusted to the defendant to bake. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant, who is a baker in Petticoat-lane. Plaintiff said she was a hard-working woman, and on a certain Friday night she prepared a dish of moat and po tatoes, which she sent by a. female friend to defendant's bakehouse. When she went for her supper at the usual hour she was horrified by hearing from defendant that he had had an accident with her supper--he had broken the dish ; and sure enough there it was in two pieces, and the meat peppered with a plentiful sprinkling of sawdust instead of gravy moistened with water. (Laughter.) Upon see ing this horrible picture, plaintiff naturally asked, " What am I to do with that P"--(laughter)—and to this reasonable question defendant replied, "Do what you like ; and if you are not satisfied summon me." "As I was not satisfied," said plaintiff, " I did summon him, and there he stands, which let him deny it if he can." (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Buchanan proposed shortening the case by stating the facts. His lionour—Ah I your facts, but not her's. Come, lei me hear her witness. The person who took the dish to the bakehouse then came forward, and said the dish was left safely by her, and she paid for the baking in advance, and that was generally considered a guarantee against loss. His Honour—A kind of premium of insurance ? Mr. Buchanan cross-examined the plaintiff and her wit • ness as to the fact of the sawdust, and also in reference to the age of the dish, but the witness declared that the dish had been so often to the oven that it must have got quite used to it. Mr. Buchanan—But the pitcher that goes often and safely to the well gets broken at last. It was then contended for the defence that the dish had flown in the oven, and that being so, defendant was not liable. Defendant was then called, and gave his version of the affair as follows :—He was informed by his man that the dish had flown in the oven, and when plaintiff came for her supper, he said to her, " Your dish has broken in the oven ; the meat and potatoes (minus the gravy) are as good as ever ; take them home, and then, if you like, summon me for the dish." Plaintiff—You never said anything of the :.kind, except THIRD EDITION. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. JUVENILE THIEVES AND A RECEIVING MARINE STORE DEALER.—John Styles, 13, and Henry Styles, 10, charged with stealing a quantity of brass escutcheons, and Mary Rodman, a marine store dealer, of 2, Bird-street, Oxford street, was charged with receiving the same. A box filled with escutcheons, and various articles of a similar kind, all bearing marks of having been recently wrenched off, was produced in court, and at the prisoner Rodman's residence was also found a large quantity of pro perty, which there is reason to suppose is also the produce of other robberies. Mr. Thos. Leary, of 49, Duke-street, St. James's, proved seeing the boy, John Styles, at the door of tho court on the previous afternoon, while he was leaving, having attended in consequence of having charged a boy named Thorn with stealing the brass escutcheon from his street door. He then spoke to Mr. Webb, the inspector, and told him that he re membered seeing him at the door when ho seized Thorn. Inspector *Webb, of the C division, said, in consequence of what the last witness told him, he ordered a constable to take the boy into custody, when the boy said he was with the other at the time, and that Thorn took the escutcheons off the door. I asked him where he had sold them, and he said at a :marine store-dealer's, in Bird-street, kept by Rodman. In consequence he went with a constable to Rod- Tar A l lro n said she her V i iik l ll o tili it ißi t a a i s y s n t i l g t , - although she called it her account-book, there was but little writing. He then asked for the brass, and She pro duced one or two pieces, one of which was a large escutcheon from a street door. The escutcheons; he had discovered, were taken from the enclosure of St. James's-square, and from houses in Pall-mall. There was also a quantity of property of a very suspicious nature in the house, most of it evidently having been brought there by children. He believed the boys had been at the court on former occasions. Rodman said she paid a fair price for the things, and put their names down in her book. She asked them if it was all right, and they said it was. • Mr. Bingham said ho should discharge the younger boy, but remand Rodman and the other boy. lie should try to put a stop to the practice, which had become vibry serious. THE NEW COMMISSIONER OF L UNA CE Our readers will regret to hear of the retirement of Mr. Samuel Warren, the member for Midhurst, from the House of Commons, though that retire ment has been brought about by what may be considered the honourable gentleman's advance ment. The post of commissioner in lunacy has been offered to Mr. Warren, and has, we believe, been accepted by him. Mr. Warren's efforts, as Recorder of Hull, attracted a large share of public attention, and have been frequently noticed in these columns, while his short career in Parliament has proved fruitful in services to the Conservative cause and to the country. Mr. Warren has devoted himself with that earnestness of purpose for which he is distinguished to ques- tions Ofsocial reform, and owing to his perseverance many improvements have been effected. In the new sphere in which he is now called upon to labour the honourable gentleman will doubtless achieve success. The popularity of the appointment is above question, and the only regret we have heard expressed has reference to his removal from the lower branch of the Legislature.— Morning Herald.

NEW PALACE OF WESTMINSTER.—His Royal Highness the Prince Consort presided yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the commission for promoting and encourag ing the fine arts in the rebuilding of the Palace of West minster. His Royal Highness, attended by Captain the Hon. D. de Ros, arrived at the Palace of Westminster at three o'clock. The commissioners present were Earl Stan hope, Vicount Eversley, Lord Lyndhurst, and the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall. The secretary, Sir Charles Eastlake, attended. The meeting broke up at half-past four o'clock WRECK OF KDI. BRIG WIZARD. A correspondent of the Cork, Examiner, in cor recting a mis-statement of facts in that journal relative to the loss of the Wizard, gives the sub joined interesting particulars : " Having seen a short paragraph in which it was stated that the crew of H.M. brig Wizard were saved from the wreck of that vessel by the coast guards,' I beg leave to inform you that such was not the fact. It is true that two of the coast guards were partly concerned in the rescue, but the following statement will show how un justly the whole merit has been accorded to them : It was on the night of Bth February that the Wizard struck on a rock known as the Small Roan carrig, distant about a quarter of a mile north of the Roancarrig Lighthouse. The night was very dark. The wind was S.S.W., blowing strong, an& the sea running high. After she had rounded the point of Bere Island her course for this harbour lay directly N.N.W. In pursuing such a course there could have been no difficulty, for the wind would have been most favourable for her. But instead of steering for the harbour, they go in the opposite direction. The lighthouse is distant one mile and a half N.E. of the island's point. It was about 12 o'clock when she struck. Surrounded on every side by heavy breakers, the gale momentarily increasing, and an almost impenetrable darkness prevailing, it was impossible for the men to do anything towards saving themselves or the ship. They com menced a sharp firing which was kept up for about two hours—the vessel going to pieces in the mean while; and soon they were left without a single gun, all being washed overboard. The firing was heard by many persons on shore, but they paid no great attention to it. They knew that the fleet was ex pected in here, and on that account no alarm was created. The three coast guards of the Adrigole station were at this time on patrol, and from the long continuance of the firing they suspected that some vessel was in distress. They went to the house of a man named Cornelius Sullivan, and mentioned their suspicions to him. He at once got out of bed, and went from house to house in the neighbourhood collecting a sufficient number of men to form a boats' crew. It was then half past one o'clock a.m. Cornelius Sullivan is the owner of two boats, a six-oared and a four-oared. Those he immediately got ready, and after waiting for about an hour in the hope that the storm might somewhat abate, they made for the rock on which the ill-fated Wizard was labouring. In the large boat the following persons were rowing :—Jere miah Sullivan, Cornelius Sullivan, APflonnell, coast-guard, Barret, coast-guard, and Michael Har lington ; while Cornelius Sullivan undertook the general direction of affairs. In the small boat there were only two men, named Florence Abbot and Timothy Sullivan. The large boat they used for going alongside the vessel and taking off the crew. The small boat remained about half a mile from the shore, and was used for transferring the ship's crew from the large boat to the land, and thus prevent a great waste of time. When Cor nelius Sullivan got near the Wizard, he found the masts, rigging, guns, everything wore swept away. The - ship was in two halves, the sea running through her, while the men were clinging to the bulwarks. Owing to the fury of the breakers, and , the crushing and falling of everything belonging to the vessel, it was an awful risk to go near -hear. It was proposed by some of the men to turn back ; but this proposal was overruled—they backed in their boat. Cornelius Sullivan called for a rope's end. It was given to him; and in a few minutes, with his own hands, he had six poor fellows safely taken off. This process was repeated seven times over, and at half-past seven o'clock a.m., the entire crew (42 in number) were landed on shore." THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

Yesterday morning the Archbishop of Canter bury proceeded to hear the appeal of the Rev. Alfred Poole, curate of St. Barnabas, against the revocation of his license by the Bishop of London, on account of his alleged habitual hearing of con fession. The Bishop revoked his license, and the Archbishop of Canterbury confirmed the decision ; but the Court of Queen's Bench decided that the Archbishop had not duly heard the appeal accord ing to law, and issued a mandamus, compelling him to hear an appeal, without giving any directions as to the manner in which it should be conducted. The Archbishop, acting upon the mandamus, appointed the appeal for yesterday, at Lambeth Palace. His grace was assisted by Dr. Lushington, who acted as assessor, and was attended by Dr. Travers Twiss, the vicar-general of the province ; Mr. F ranc i s Hart Dyke, the apparitor ; Mr. Kny vett, his secretary ; and the Rev. J. Thomas, 8.C.L., his chaplain. Mr. J. B. Lee, the solicitor to the Bishop of London, was present on his lordship's behalf. Amongst the clergy present were the Hon. and Rev. Robert Liddell, the Rev. W. Upton e N t v ph e he r i e igi a irion f uo e n w recis la llo d ‘ i fe oi s v h p ai i. p . c e ih s w e ta n ii t i.ee . Richards, the Re v . J . F . Li ng h am, an d others. d a p f o p i e • a I M w r a Pool made.o Thor s T t i th e rd first was that Mr. Poole had never been heard by the court below. The second, that he was con demned on charges which were withi n the citation, and that the citation was not served upon him according to the provisions of the statute. The third, that he was condemned on alleged oral ad missions (of which there is no record), which were denied by the accused but admitted by the Bishop, who thus became accuser, supported by his own evidence, and afterwards acted as judge. The foul th, that he was condemned on the evidence of women who he was prepared to show were of infamous character, and utterly unworthy of credit in any court of justice. The fifth, that he was condemned partly . on evidence taken behind his back, with out his consent, by some legal person employed by the Bishop. The sixth, that he expressed himself at the time willing and to obey the godly admonitions of his ordinary. He (the learned gentleman) proposed, before entering upon these points, to state fully what was the doctrine of the Church of England on the subject of confession, distinguishing the two kinds as, first, the daily bread of the church, and the second its extreme medicine. The learned gentleman proceeded to quote largely from Archbishop Wake, Usher, and Jewell, Archdeacon Paley, Bishop Tomline (on the Thirty-nine Articles), and other high ecclesiastical authorities, for the purpose of showing that the Church of England encouraged confession to the clergy, with a view to the spiritual comfort of the penitent. The great difference on these points be tween the Church of England and the Church of Rome was simply this, that whereas the Church of Rome held that confession was a sacrament, the Church of England denied that it was so. It was contended by Mr. Poole that he had never taught confession according to the Roman Catholic doc trine, but in receiving the confession of those of his congregation who chose to come to him to open their griefs, he did nothing more than obey the plain directions of the Book of Common Prayer, which he was bound to do. The Bishop of London ought never to have condemned Mr. Poole on the evidence of the women to whom he was alleged to have put improper and disgusting questions, without hearing that gentleman in defence, more especially after his solemn denial of the truth of the charges. In tak ing the course he did the Bishop trampled upon the plainest principles oT justice. The Bishop of London had, moreover, declared that no reliance could be placed upon the evidence of the women, and yet he revoked his license. Under these circumstances he contended that the Bishop of London's sentence of revocation could not stand. The appeal was against that revocation, and ho maintained that what this curate asked of the Bishop as a favour, that of being heard in his defence, the statute gave him as a right. It was certainly an extraordinary thing in the history of the Church that this man, who had been accused of teaching Roman Catholic doctrine while he held office in the Church of England, and had received all sorts of abuse at the hands of his opponents, had been absolutely refused by his Bishop an op portunity of clearing himself before sentence was pronounced against him. If Mr. Poole, instead of respectfully appealing to the Archbishop of Can terbury, as he had done, had set the decision of the Bishop of London at nought, and continued to offi ciate as a clergyman of the diocese, he would have been protected by the temporal courts of tlig land, who would have treated with scorn the notion that because a man held only the humble office of a curate in the church, he was to be treated in a manner to which they would never allow the meanest suitor in a civil case to be subjected. In stead, however, of adopting that step ALI. Poole had taireii me course which suggested itself to him as an obedient and subordinate minister of his bishop. What was the consequence of this ? That he had been condemned on the testimony of in infamous women who would never have been believed in any court of law—their evidence having been taken down privately by a legal gentleman employed by the bishop, who was accuser, witness, and judge. Nothing could be a greater mockery than to call that an examination, and he did not think that any appellate court of England would ever confirm the sentence. The learned doctor briefly summed up the arguments on -which he considered that the decision of the court below should be reversed. Mr. Coleridge followed on the same side, starting with the argument that there had been no hearing in the court below, and no distinct charges, calling for a sentence, preferred against Mr. Poole. In any criminal case, if the judge said he disbelieved tho evidence, or that he viewed it with suspicion, there would of course be an end of the case, and yet upon that principle Mr. Poole was condemned. It was not a very kind or considerate course on the part of the Bishop of London, for it was conceivable that other bishops might in consequence of these pro ceedings refuse to license Mr. Poole, as indeed had actually been the ease. Mr. M. Smith opened the case for the respon _ dent; but at five o'clock the learned counsel was interrupted in his speech and the inquiry was adjourned till this morning. The case was resumed this morning. Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., on the part of the Bishop of London, resumed and concluded his arguments, which went to show that as there was no contra dietary evidence offered, and M r . Poole himself having made certain admiss ions, he considered himself justified in adopting the course he had done. Dr. Phillimore replied on the whole case on behalf of Mr. Poole, and at the conclusion of the learned gentleman's argument, Dr. Lushington, the dean of the Ar c h es C our t , sa id that the reason his grace i n hither to declining to hear this appeal had been owing to the thought that it would be entailing great e l peaise on n would be e b tn o sa t bo h fl e p ta a h r et t : l e e s a . gr inv h e y Ibis theogu assceuelbljoi subject t - b i nohtgihs most, sidesaoi s•dt, serious consideration, an d h o wou ld there fore deliver his decision in writing. For his own part, the advice that he would give to his grace would be—Fi rs t. Wh et h er t h e c h arges were suffi ciently definite and so clearly stated as to enable Mr. Poole to defend himself. Secondly. Whether there was produced adequate legal evidence to sustain and prove such charges. And, thirdly. Whether Mr. Poole had sufficient opportunity to make his defence. In the event of his grace thinking that either of these points were proved, then he should advise his grace, in accordance with law and justice, to reverse the decision of the Court below. His grace took time to consider his decision.

An adopted son of Mr. Gibbs, foreman of the paper mills, accidentally fell into the river and was carried over the American Fall. We understand that the lad was on the ice, near the mills, wheremen had been running drift ice from the flume, and accidentally fell into the swift stream. Ile was not seen to fall, but was seen some distance down the river, in the rapids, when beyond the reach of human aid, and speedily passed over, of course to rise no more alive.
