MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLoCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have been exceedingly firm. Tea, however, has continued inactive, owing to the large quantity to be offered at public sale to-day. 1: Sugar has fully sustained the late advance, par- st titularly the finer descriptions - of West Indian, and in the refined market an active business has been st , done at enhanced rates. For coffee the demand Fit! has been steady without any material variation in prices. Rice, rum, and cocoa have been in mode rate request at former rates. Saltpetre has been inactive, and quotations are quite nominal. Tal low has continued in steady request, bat owing to a pressure of sales on the part of importers, quota- s t, tions have shown less steadiness. st( The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed st! with a firm appearance, but no immediate advance was reported. The sales were stimated at 10,000 st l, bales. The Railway Share Market presented a buoyant aspect, and a further slight improvement st , stc took place in values. About £200,000 in gold was taken into the stc Bank yesterday, and a considerable portion of the , recent arrival by the Leaping Water has been pur chased for the continent. sto The Discount Market has not been influenced to eta l any perceptible extent by the preparations for the :t t g 4th of the month, the mercantile classes having sto quietly provided for the event, without stimulating st l o the demand, or adding to the firmness of quotations. st; The lowest charge for superior qualities of commer cial bills is 31 per cent., and the inquiries at the st g: Bank,where 4 per cent. is the minimum, have fallen off in consequence. The tendency of the market is st decidedly favourable, and if the harvest should 8 %, prove satisfactory lower rates of discount may be 26 2' shortly experienced. 1 There has been very little business 'to-day in 11 ; ) [ ,' the Market for Public Securities, but sales having st(2l preponderated, a slight decline has occurred , Con- 51 sole being 931 ri for money, and 931 f i for the 10th s g t,',, October. Some of the speculators have no doubt stoc' sold stock in order to realise profits.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Company's shares 8 are 2. y pm. ; the Universal, pm.; and the Thames and Mersey, a pm. The dealings the Railway Share Market have s been to a fair extent ; less firmness, however, has g prevailed, a reaction of about to per cent. hav ing taken place in values. Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Great Western, North Western, Mid land, and South Eastern have receded ss. ; Edin- s burgh, Perth, and Dundee, 10s. ; LanCashire and Yorkshire, 15s. ; and North British and North Eastern (Berwick), £l. The Foreign and Colonial Markets have shown little variation of impoitance. Sambre and Meuse, Bahia and San Francisco, and Pernambuco brought former rates ; East Indian have receded 10s., and Great Indian Peninsula 10s.

A 1 daily horse-express was run between Mobile and Montgo- 1. ely, a distance of 200 miles, in order to anticipate the 1 val of the mail, and forward the news by telegraph to el ; ( ow York and other places. In 1847 the complete and :I: efficient organisation of what is termed the " Associated st, Press of New York " was established, with " telegraph re- st 4 porters" and agents in every important city or port in the United States, as well as in Canada, England, and other countries. The charge for sending messages by telegraph st ; was at first much higher than is at present the case, and st , the great object of the associated reporters was to devise rme means of getting as much as possible for their money nra i the telegraph companies. As the result of much ..,70 1. nus deliberation and forethought, they at length pre -,,,,,z1.1, complete system of short-hand or cipher, which, telegrat,waa perfectly unintelligible to the clerks of the k ey , fc lT 2 .. was, when translated by those possessing the raessagsik,eto possess remarkably elastic properties. A or even ene `.2 l cipher words would expand to fifty or sixty, hundred when translated. Some of the words se eanc ht woeerwehte eh crams length, and made up of syllables, au ed a hidden meaning, and when in combi nTahteiorne cdamefiee,ebowe,the dictionaries o f , the eivilised world.

MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS. —The ann exed e of mexi com munication is from the Committe e d . c an tondholders : --" The committee have received a vice from Mr. White head, dated Mexico, the 3d ult., ef a conducts w ag, a f ter Vera Cruz all, on rae point of then leaving for , but that Mr. Matthews's opinion was sordecidedly unfavourable as to the security it offered that Mr. Va i to b.ead was unable t dholders.

So far as was keoivn. in the City of Mexico, General Miramon was still a t Lagos. There were daily reports of his defeats and success , on which no reliance was placed." GARIBALDI AFTER MELAZZO.—Here an in he occurred which deserves to be mentioned, as showing . s ingular character of Garibaldi. Finding his shirt d t irt y and soiled from his personal struggles, ho took it off, waste d it in the brook hard by, and hung it up on the bashes, at e his lunch of bread, fruit, and water, smoked his cigar bare backed, and wrapt in thought, sat apparently contemplating the drying of his garment; thus in the field and bivouac, sharing danger and hardship with the humblest of his fol lowers. Directly his shirt was dry, he went on board the T akeri, formerly Veloce, lying in the bay on the western side of the peninsula, and personally directed her fire on the fortress and retiring masses.—Blechweecr s Magazine for September. -The )1 the facts ailing last. ;ht to capa be re office, hat of t, W.

This morning William Godfrey Youngman, only 25 years of age—who was convicted at the last session of the Cen tral Criminal Court of the murder of his mother, his two younger brothers, ailfl Elizabeth Ann Streeter, to whom : . ! . .u3 murders tak in g p lace at his he had promised marriage, W a l worth—underwent parents' residence in Manor-row, +Told erected on the extreme penalty of the law on the seal the the top of the gateway of Horsemonger-lane Gaol,— presence of a vast concourse of spectators, between 30,000 and 40,000 persons having assembled at every available point where a sight of the scaffold could be obtained, and amongst the vast crowd a large number of females were present. The circumstances of these horrible murders and the con vict's subsequent conduct in denying that he was the raur. derer, and charging his mother with having committed the murder of the young woman and her two sons, and that he only destroyed her in self-defence, are fresh in the recol lection of the public ; and it is melancholy to state that he has adhered to that statement unto death. Although con stantly visited by the Rev: Mr. Jessop, the chaplain of the gaol, and apparently paying the most serious attention to his exhortations, he has constantly denied that he was a murderer. His conduct in prison has been most calm and decorous, and it so continued to the last moment after he knew all hope was gone. Yesterday his father, brother, and two sisters visited him in his cell, in the presence of the chap lain and governor. The interview lasted about an hour and a half, and a most painful scene took place. The wretched man, instead of showing contrition, upbraided his father in strong terms, said he had been a bad father to him, a bad husband to his mother, and bad father to his sisters. The father recriminated, when the convict in his replies was quite in a rage, so much so that the governor and chaplain thought it right to put an end to it, and induced the father to withdraw from the room. After the father was gone he became more calm, and conversed with his brother and sisters generally, but positively denying that he had committed the murder, in fact adhering to his eriginal statement ; he then complained bitterly of the con duct of the uncle of the unfortunate girl Streeter, Mr. Spice, of the Green Dragon, Bermondsey-street, in stating on the trial that he had told him, Youngman, that he would sooner see his niece with a rope round her neck than she should marry him. The convict added with warmth, "Do you suppose a man like me could hear such words with out striking him to the earth. I am not a mur derer, but I could take his head •off." After this he became more calm, and burst into tears, but all the remainder of his conversation was a protestation of his innocence. His father again entered the room, when, after a little persuasion on the part of his sister, brother, and chaplain, he shook hands with his father and kissed him ; he then kissed and embraced his brother and sisters, and took his last farewell of them, In two or three hours (the wretched man having expressed a wish to that effect) his brother brought his wife, the convict's sister in-law, and her child, and he had an interview with them for half an hour; he was quite calm, and appeared to be much affected in embracing his little niece, but in all his conversation he protested his innocence. After they had left him he remained quietly reading some religious books given him by the chaplain until ten o'cick, when he was visited by the governor (Mr. Keene) and the chaplain. They did all they could to induce him to make - •+onfession, but he only repeated what he had before stared. The wretched man then joined in prayer with the chaplain in apparent fervour, after which he was again appealed to to confess; when he did not, as before, assert his innocence, but maintained a strict silence, which the chaplain and the governor at the time took as a tacit confession of his guilt, and that his sentence was a just one. He was again visited by the chaplain about 11 o'clock, after which the wretched man retired to rest and slept soundly during the night, and this morning after he arose he partook of a hearty breakfast of e3coa and bread and butter, and in fact asked for more. An ex traordinary incident may be here mentioned, showing that the wretched man had contemplated an escape or self destruction. On Saturday evening he desired to go to the closet, but it being dark the wardens would not let him go without a light. One of them left the cell to fetch one leaving a warden with him; this warden also left the room to go into another cell, when the prisoner watched them, and knowing the cells would not open from the in side he rushed out and pushed the second warder into a cell, but the door of the cell in which the first warder was in did not catch the lock. The prisoner then ran down the corridor, fled down the stairs, but at the bottom he was caught in the arms of a third warder, and on his being taken back to the cell he said he only did it for a spree ; but in the interview with his father and brother he said his intention was to have thrown himself over the staircase and destroy himself.' At 7 o'olock this morning Mr. Jessop, the chaplain, visited him, and remained with him to the last. He earnestly joined the rev. chaplain in prayer; and in the hope at the last moment some confession would be obtained the rev. gentleman said to him " Don't go out of the world with a lie in your mouth," to which he immediately replied " If you want me to tell a lie,it would be to say I did it." When the fatal hour came for the procession to move he walked with calm firmness to the arch under the gateway, shaking hands with the warders. Calcraft here received and pinioned him ; he was then formally delivered over to the Sheriff and Under-Sheriff, Mr. Hart and Mr. Abbott, and Mr. Garland, the chief constable of the Borough. The pro cession then moved up the staircase to the drop, the Rev. Mr. Jessop reading the burial service; the wretched man ascended the scaffold with a firm step, and placed himself under the fatal beam; he joined the chaplain in prayer; his last words were, " Thank you, Mr. Jessop, for your kindness ; see my brother, and say I sent my love to him and all." The cap being put over and the rope adjusted, he shook hands with Calera% the fatal bolt was drawn, and the wretched man launched into eternity. His struggles werAbrief ; in an hour he was cut down. The body will be buried this evening. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) WARWL [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] LEAMINGTON STAKES. Six ran. SHORTS' HANDICAP. Three ran. QUEEN'S PLATE. Five ran. LATEST BETTING.

Wiltshire, engraver and printer, IA, George-street, Grosvenor-square. Mr. Wiltshire said the prisoner had been in his employ as a printer, and, in consequence of his being spoken to by his apprentice, he stopped the prisoner as he was leaving his premises and4harged him with robbing him, and in his cap found a copperplate and some brass.

SELSEA LIFEBOAT.—The National Lifeboat Insti tution is desirous to place a lifeboat at Selsea, on the Sussex coast, for the protection of the crews of vessels which get wrecked on the " Owers" and other shoals in that danger ous locality. At present, with the exception of two life boats recently placed at the back of the Isle of Wight, there is no lifeboat establishment between. Worthing I and Lyme Regis. A lifeboat for the dangerous banks above I alluded to cannot fail to he of great servi. e, and will fill up a great part of the long gap which here exists between those life-saving establishments, which, through the in strumentality of this ncble institution, are now fast encir cling the coasts of the United Kingdom. In forming and maintaining a lifeboat establishment; the institution seeks the co-operation and persevering help of the immediate neighbourhood and the county generally in which it is si tuated, by whose aid, in conjunction with the funds col lected from the general public, it is enabled to support its present large fleet of lifeboats, now numbering upwards of 100. The cost of the lifeboat which it is proposed to sta tion at Selsea has been generously presented to the institu tion by some charitable members of the Society:of Friends; but a transporting carriage and a substantial boathouse, costing together about £2OO are yet needed to complete the establishment, and also an annual sum of about £3O is required to meet the local expenses of the station, the insti tution undertaking from its general funds the permanent maintenance of the whole in a state of good repair and ge neral efficiency. The inhabitants of the Isle of Wight and the members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club have recently come forward nobly and enabled the institution to form two first-rate lifeboat establishments on the most exposed part of that island, and it is hoped that an equally liberal support will be extended by the public to the institution, on behalf of the much-iteeciecl lifeboat at Selsea. THAMES. ANOTHER MEAT STEALER.—Martha Hay, a dirty. bloated woman, who owned to 20 years of age, but was in appearance 40, was charged with stealing two necks of mutton, weighing 151b5., value 95., from the shop of Mr. Charles Barmore, a butcher, in Charles-street, St. George in-the-East. Mr. Barmore has been a very great sufferer by the de predations of female meat stealers, and many have been convicted and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment for stealing prime joints from his shop. Last night the pri soner enteredthe shop under pretence of inquiring theprice of meat, and took from a block a piece of mutton and put it under her shawl. A boy named Taylor, who saw the rob bery committed, followed her and gave her into custody. The mutton was taken from her. _ The prisoner said she was drunk when she took the meat, and recollected nothing at all about it. Police Serjeant Copping, a detective officer, No. 3 :K., said the prisoner was a most incorrigible thief, and she had been summarily convicted at the Woolwich Police Court for stealing meat, and sentenced to two or three months imprisonment and hard labour, and afterwards convicted at the Worship-street Police Court for stealing a coat and £6, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner was remanded until Friday next for the purpose of obtaining the evidence of the officer who was present at her last conviction, and it was intimated that she would then be committed for trial at the Sessions. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa says :—" It appears from the last accounts from Naples, of the 28th ult., that the King, seeing himself reduced to the last ex - tremity, consulted M. Liborio Romano and General Pia nelli as to what he should do ; and that both of them frankly declared that any further resistance would be use less, inasmuch as the troops couldnot be relied on, having become favourable to Italian unity." IN RE DRAGE. This bankrupt was described as of Olney Bucks, shoe manufacturer, and a choice of assignees took place. Messrs. Hart Brothers state the debts at £1,776; do. good, £120; property, £l3O. Assignees were chosen. ' IN RE T. AND W. T. FENN. These bankrupts were described as of Norwich, Fore street, Cripplegate, and elsewhere, wholesale and export boot and shoe manufacturers, and this was an examination meeting. The balance-sheet.,yMessrs. Hart Brothers commences September 1859, and ends Arne 1860, and shows : Debtor to Creditors, £8,253; to do. holding security, £232; profits on trading, £1,992 ; liabilities expected to be provable, £1,160 ; ditto not expected to be charged against the estate, £1,162.

Fenn, £107; losses, £963; deficiency, Ist Sept. 1859, £345. The solicitor to the assignees said that the accounts were not satisfactory, but as they appeared to be the best the bankrupts could render, it was not thought advisable to put the estate to any expense by an adjournment. IN RE THOMAS LEE. This bankrupt was described as a merchant, in George yard, Lombard-street, and came up for his last examination. The accounts, by Mr. C. F. Kemp, extends from 31st Dec., 1856, to May, 1860, and shows—Debtor to creditor, £5,600 ; creditors partially secured, less property held, £1,097; pro fits, £7,061; liabilities, £882; liability to Malendez, Caste nado and ',Robertson, £2,654 ; liability to William Poyner, £414 ; creditor cash, £2O ; doubtful debt, £96 ; pro perty, £1,572; ditto in hands of creditors, £487 ; trade expenses, £3,497; personal, £1,792; losses, £2,767; loss on farm at Great Barr, £2,157. An adjournment took place, Mr. Johnson, the official assignee, requiring time to examine the accounts. IN RE SWINEY. The bankrupt was a merchant in Fenchureh-street, and this was a meeting for the last examination. The debts are stated at £2,003 ; creditors holding *urity, £3,060 ; liabilities, £2,036; assets, doubtful. An adjournment took place for an investigation of the accounts. IN RE DUNN AND BOYLE. These bankrupts were described as of New Great Spring Gardens, iron dealers, &c., and applied for their certificates. The accounts by Messrs. Hart Brothers show debtor to creditors £3,640 ; assets, good debts, £2,113 ; doubtful, n,lOO. I here was no opposition, and his Honour granted immediate certificates. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE MAYOR'S COURT AND THR SHERIFFS' COURT-1 CAUTION-BETFUS AND OTHERS V. SPRADO. This was a summons on which plaintiffs sought to recover £8 odd, balance of a debt of £lB odd. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, stated that plaintiffs had formerly sued defendant for this very debt in the Mayor's Court. Defeudant had paid £lO, and now plaintiffs removed the cause to this court. He (Mr. Buchanan) submitted that such a course could not be adopted. A gentleman who attended for plaintiffs said he was not aware of the circumstances attending the case, and His Honour, upon reference to the particulars affixed to the summons, said there could be no doubt the present sum sought to be recovered formed a portion of the Mayor's Court claim. Under these circumstances, he would see if defendant was not entitled to treble costs, for most certainly plaintiffs would not recover in this court. His Honour then referred to the Act, and while he was perusing it, llr. Buchanan remarked that in cases where treble costs were allowed plaintiffs had obtained judgment. In this suit judgment had not been obtained in the Mayor's Court, and therefore he (Mr. Buchanan) could only, on behalf of defendant, ask for the usual costs. His Honour found that was so, and, in awarding defen dant and his attorney costs, observed that had judgment been obtained he should certainly have awarded treble costs. Such a system as that now before the court should be stopped, and he would do all in his power to prevent its continuance. Verdict for defendant with costs. THIS DAY'S _MARKETS. HAY MARK TS.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH IN THE MEDITERRA NE/N.—GIBRALTAR, Aug. 20.—T0-day we have had the pleasure of viewing over the Stella (s.s.) belonging to Lon don, commanded by Captain Dixon, which is laden with a submarine cable, manufactured by W. S. Menley, Esq., of London, for the Spanish Government. It is intended to bo laid between Majorca, Minorca, Ivitza, and the mainland, half-way between Valencia and Barcelona. The Stella is a fine steamer, Glasgow-built, and is well fitted for this kind of work. The engineers on board are—in addition to the Messrs. Henley (Sir Charles Bright, Mr. W. Bright, and Mr. W. Suter, on behalf of the Spanish Government)—Mr. J. Hamilton and Mr. J. T. Forester; will Messrs. Banks and Marshall, electricians, on behalf of Mr. Henley. The Stella will leave to-night for Port Mahon, and will connect the islands first, after which she will lay the long sea length. We are also daily expecting the Algerian cable, manufac tured by Messrs. Glass and Elliotts, of East Qreenwich, and which we learn is now being shipped on board the William Corry, Captain Donaldson, at London. • COURTSHIP EXTRAORDINARY.—The most extra ordinary case of this kind of which we remember to have heard has been brought to light within the last few days at Moulton, in this county. The circumstances are briefly these :—About seven years ago a girl of 16, named Catherine Coome, married her first cousin, a painter of the same name, at Cheltenham, of which town they were both na tives. After some time they came to reside at Bedford, where the wife assumed the male attire and the name of Fred, and passed as the son of her husband, working with him at his trade. In the same house with them lodged a Miss Smith, a straw bonnet maker, who fell in love with Fred, and Fred reciprocated the affection, and passed him self off and was received as Miss Smith's sweetheart. The intimacy has now lasted between them five months, Fred sleeping every night with the painter, and Miss Smith entertaining no doubt whatever that her lover was a man. Three weeks ago they all three came to reside at Moulton, whither they were followed by Miss Btulth's father, who received a letter from Cheltenham stating that his daughter was keeping company, not with a male, but with a female, and that the supposed father of the latter was in reality her husband. Fred, on being taxed with the deception, admitted the truth of the charge, to the no small surprise of poor Miss Smith. The police then took Fred into custody, and escorted him to Northampton on Wed nesday last, whet he was brought before the county ma gistrates, and remanded. He—we continue the masculine gender—is now 23 years of age, of middle height, slender, and of handsome features. His hair is closely cropped, and he is dressed in a black glazed cap, cloth coat, greyish vest and trousers, and Balmoral boots. The'motives for his conduct are hitherto inexplicable, and even the husband, who brings him food to the station-house, does not attempt to unravel them.—Northampton Express. THE METROPOLITAN UNDERGROUND RAILWAY. —The various works in connection with this undertaking are rapidly progressing, more especially in that portion of the Marylebone-road lying westward of St. Marylebone Church. During the past fortnight two large trenches have. been sunk opposite the workhouse, and workmen e m p loyed day and night in the construction of the necessary sewer ; In the immediate neighbourhood of Stafford and Chapel streets, the work of demolition is more prominent, the o• been of houses formerly known as Middlesex-Place havritsson bloce pulled down, as well as several others in street.

Among the questions left in an unsatisfactory position at the close of the Parliamentary session has been that of Government guarantees. Yet the principle that must regulate it is of the simplest kind. The failure of the Indian telegraph, and the consequent danger of a loss of £BOO,OOO to the na tion, r , s considered by many to have extinguished all , prospect of future similar grants for undertak lags of any description. the upon The Queen has been (Front the Gazette of this evening.)

The same thing has always been observable. The promoters of a " Great Eastern" or any other work of stupendous outlay that gratifies national vanity and, with the exception of the contractors, ruins all concerne, are invariably held up by public speakers as far sighted benefactors, when, in fact, they the march of improvement by a reels kave arrested 'Jess disregard of all pecuniary interests bet tht'r own.

When a better sense shall have become general, and the rules of morality and of political economy are , admitted to go hand in hand, we shall hear no more of these congratulations at the country having obtained a great gain through the practice of a suc cessful deception upon a certain number of investors. Let it be understood that the man who raises the smallest work with satisfactory commercial results is the friend of progress, while he who sets up non paying wonders is its worst enemy, and we shall then advance from precedent to precedent without a check. At all events, whatever may be the obli quity of sentiment or want of courage displayed in Parliament on these matters, it may be hoped the people at large will regard them in their honest aspect. When an undertaking proposed is purely commercial, every suggestion for a guarantee is, of course, to be denounced. On the other hand, when it is national, let the nation fairly pay for what they require, and not descend to haggling attempts to underrate their own interest in the matter, and exaggerate the probable results to ethers. When once the habit is attained of taking this direct course, there will be a good prospect for many en terprises which people at the present moment are almost afraid to advocate. The inquiry will be simply in each case as to the political advantages to be gained, and the price they are worth, and this being ascertained, there will be a readiness to pay the price. Under existing circumstances nothing is done, because the public waste their time in try ing to cheat themselves. It is a constant struggle on the part of the majority to get all the benefit and avoid all the risk. Such exceptions as occur are of the character commonly observable in affairs that are not regulated by any admitted policy. They merely furnish examples of Treasury caprice or favouritism. The country will find that unless it is disposed to retrograde it will not long be able to refuse to accept its proper responsibilities. If a certain railway, or canal, or telegraph is wanted in order to effect a specific economy of troops, stores, or shipping, or to transmit speedy notice of danger, we have scarcely a right even to permit private persons to incur the possibility of loss in furnishing them. Assuming that they will yield sufficient returns, a guarantee can cost nothing ; in the contrary result it must be as dis graceful to let individuals suffer as if we were to entrap them to build our fortifications and dock yards. What would have been our hold on India at this moment had she remained destitute of rail ways and telegraphs ? And what will be the posi tion of England if, while every other country avails itself of the guarantee principle, we refuse to use it because it is liable to abuse ? Some years back it was calculated that, reckoning the value of the time of a London citizen at less than ls. an hour, the loss from the absence of a rail or tramway from the Bank to the West-end was about a million sterling per annum. A metropolitan guarantee would have met the difficulty, and the saving in three or four years would have reimbursed the outlay, even if the line had never paid a farthing of net revenue. In like manner, a railway by the Euphrates would shorten the route to India 1,000 miles, and possibly in life and money, under certain political contin gencies, save its own cost in the first year. But it cannot be effected. It is a national, and not an individual concern, and the nation will do nothing for itself.. The Government in all matters of this kind will be happy to afford every encouragement to private capitalists to embark their money for the good of the community, but it will not for a moment entertain the idea that the community should un dertake any obligations in return.

Yesterday, at the Leeds Town Hall, Mr. Joseph Francies, the manager of the District Savings Bank Company (Limited) at Leeds, was charged with painting up an improper description of the said bank outside his premises at 22, Bond-street, Leeds. The alleged offence was, that while the company was registered under the Joint-stock Companies Act, 1856-57, Mr. Francies had had painted on the office window the following notice :—" Savings Bank, Incorporated by Act of Parliament." Mr. Bruce, who supported the information, said that Mr. Francies was the manager of a company which had an office in Leeds—the proper name of the company being " The District Savings Bank (Limited)." He believed the head office of the company was in London, but there were branches in different towns. He called atten tion to the 31st section of 19 and 20 Vic. c. 47, which imposed a penalty for misdescription, and pointed out that the intention of the Legislature in framing this clause was to guard against the pos sibility of companies constituted under this act sailing under false colours. Now, with reference to the defendant's office, the words painted on the window were " Savings' Bank, incorporated by act of Parliament." But this was not the name of the defendant's Company. Its proper title was "District Savings Bank Company (Limited.)" He should therefore argue, in the first place, that the defendant had broken the law, inasmuch as the name he painted upon it was not the name of the company at all ; and secondly, that it was a decided falsehood. Defendant might say that he had painted up the proper title of the company on the coursing stone, but that was far above the window, and some 12ft. from the ground, and in a place, and in letters so small, that it was scarcely possible to see the title. At all events, he submitted that the notice on the window was a " notice, adver tisement, and official publication," within th: ic, mean ing of the act, It was a fraud upon the D alnedw°llYojertier name to the sham intended to impose upon the commit should it was therefore most desirable that the Co put down any attempt of the kind. Butterworth, of in'e service of P ty, an d Thomas Greaves, a groom Messrs. Bra shave and Buttel Cha peltown, deposed to havi ld u deposited lt s B. in Mr. Francies's office on .the. pa inted • . He saw on the window the words, ~m 1 s l aragrleialme deposittetwnertas.s;) He s e a p v a i indgs 2d. Bank,for I n c o p o k r a book, t th of. P• ' any entered. y. Did not notice , submitted that the b order words P ainted ugicey of Mr. Francies did not advertisement, or other official Mr. Prest, for the defence s • n, publication,• onst i tu t I - ' withinsothe meaning of the act. The penalty f applied to a very different thing than that of lettering a window. He had no need to call any evidence, for it had been granted that t h e full title o f the company, "District Savings B a nk (Limit e d) , " was painted on the coursing stone above the window, and he would consequently limit his rem arks on this head to informing the Court that this title was painted above the window in etters about six inches in length. The court delivered the following judgment:- 100th Foot, to be Lieutenant, vice Eyre, who retires upon half-pay. Rifle Brigade—Lieutenant Alexander Angus Airlie Kin loch to be Instructor of Musketry, vice Moorson, who has joined the Depot. 2d West India Regiment—Edmund Ashton Ross, Gent., to be Ensign, without purchase, vice Gow, who resigns. 3d West India Regiment—Captain Aylmer Strangford Craig, from half-pay Gold Coast Artillery Corps, to be Captain, vice Metge, who exchanges.

The statute ex pressly declares that if there be an issue of any notice, advertisement, or other official publication of the company in any name different to that by which the company is incorporated, that is clearly an offence within the 31st section of 19 and 20 Viet. c. 47 ; and this being so, the only alternative we have is to convict the defendant of the offence, and in the penalty of £5O, which is the sum pre scribed by Act of Parliament; out of which sum all the costs of the prosecution must be paid." Mr. Prest applied for a case for the Court of Queen's Bench ; but the magistrates declined to grant him one. The Government Savings Bank is situated in the same street as that in which Mr. Francies has opened his office. REPRESENTATION OF TRALEE.—The Kerry Post states, on the authority of Capt.
