MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The ordinary requirements of trade, and the pre p arations for the £2,650,000 Victoria Railway debentures to be tendered for this afternoon, have kept the money market in an active state. Not withstanding the large aggregate sum paid away at the Bank of England since Monday morning in the shape of dividends, the available supplies still appear exceedingly limited, and the rates charged for accommodation show very little variation. The inquiry for loans in the Stock Exchange has slightly augmented, owing to the settlement of the monthly account in consols. Letters from Liverpool report that the cotton Market yesterday closed with a rasher dull appear ance, and only 4,000 bales were sold, at about pre vious rates. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of business was transacted, and prices were firmer. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Massilia, Which leaves to-day, will take out £2,000 in gold to Alexandria, and £26,000 in gold and £219,965 in silver to Bombay, making a total of £247,965; the whole of which is transmitted on private ac count. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally a trifle higher. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The silver by the Panama ha s been delivered, but not yet sold ; the market is therefore very quiet, and bars are nominally quoted 6 s• lad, per ounce standard. 4 The market for Pablic Securities is 'ether flat, although there is very little alteration to report in 'values, Consols being 941 I for money, and 94: for account. There is an expectation that the Money Market will yet assume a more unfavour- able aspect. The New Threes are 92: 931; and the Reduced 92: 93; India New Loan remain at 104: 105 ; ditto Debentures (1859) are firmer at 97; but theßonds are flat at ss. to ls. dis. Exchequer Bills are 10s. to 13s. prem. The transactions in Foreign Securities have been rather limited, and prices tend down wards. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 751 to 76 ex div. ; ditto New, Cl to 61;; Dutch 21 per Cents. have receded to to 65,1 ; Mexican, to 214 Chilian 3 per Cents. are marked 711 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. have improved to 991 100; ditto 41 per Cents. (1858) remain at 91. The Oaean Marine Insurance Shares are 22 Prem., and the Universal ditto, ;d prem.

TRH NEW TELEGRAPH TO AMERICA.—Some r iveraation took place at a late meeting of the Manchester tarry and Philosophical Society, respecting the proposed Iceland, Greenland, to connect Great Britain with America, by using Mr, Greenland, and Labrador as intermediate stations. r ,. F. Gisborne, the original projector of the Atlantic t l 'ograph, said that the rears which had been expressed at the cable would be destroyed on the coast of Labrador ;) „Y grounded icebergs, were not warranand He was inti ately acquainted with the locality, although there eo a B an Bt,mes number of icebergs which grounded on the some, as ho had himself observed in 70 fathoms of suer, yet, as at Newfoundland, there were inlets of water . t he middle of sufficient depth to secure the cable from J14 7.-21fechartties' Magazine. GEOLOGISTS' A SSOCIATION.—The committee of iris association having determined upon conducting occa -4°._11,,.al excursions to different places of geological interest, a eiso number of the members availed themselves on Mon- Ri t 'LY last of the facilities afforded by the South-Eastern ailway to visit Folkestone with a view to examine the „ r ata of this particularly interesting part of the coast. The VY was under thesuidanee of the President, the Rev. 4,, "las Wiltshire ) Professor Tennant, and others. They teent several hours on the shore, investigating the chalk, e l i ee Psands, ar,sl gault, and procured a considerable number to char acteristic fossils, and thus brought the abovenamed tre at i°as practically before the student, affording him a tz , „ n s correct idea of the rocks and their contents than a , vrary of geological works. T "‘ LoATING THIRTY MILES ON A CAKE OF ICE.— thhe Green Bay Advocate relates a thrilling ice adventure : e"nil , Martin and Isaac Gagnon, one with a load of hay, j: other with a l o ad o f corn - mea l, were t rave lli ng on th e C°f Little Bay de Noquet. Abt.ut four o'clock p.m. they eovered a crack which cut them off from the shore, and ilat the ice on which they were was floating them out h ,, t ° Greert Bay, towards Death's Door. They unhar eh'4ed their horses, and let them go, and took the box off s,"? of the to use in case they got into the k aler. At midisght, being exhausted, they lay down to 4°P under the lee of a hummock of ice. In the morning, th„, e , i ght o'clock, they saw land which proved to be Wash- Iseroti Island, and they landed outside Death's Door. They ti thus been driven 30 miles across the bay in one of the I 's4 'dost gales that ever blew. The horses, after being % sett , followed the men in their rambles on the ice until o t c„ ing to a weak place they went in. Two . hours later, 'ts„',.°f the horses swam up to the cake on which the men bir:lPut his head on the ice, and looked beseechingly, e tileY could not help the poor brute." ..,i, k 4 PTURE OF PRISONERS ESCAPED FROM A GAOL.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(TMs Day.) , f` SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before 11Ir. Kerr.) HILL V. WOODS. -THE PRINTERS' ACT.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. This was an action to recover £37 15s. sd. for printing, and goods supplied to defendant, who carries on a Trade Protection Society in Ironmonger-lane. Mr. Barnard, for the plaintiff, said his client carried on a Trade Protection Society, and had supplied defendant with copies of various publications, in weekly and fort nightly parts. They were subscription lists. In plaintiff's -claim are also some circulars and what are called certifieate cards. Defendant had dealt with plaintiff for some time, and this was a balance of account. Plaintiff's manager said that plaintiff had supplied sub scription lists to defendant for 18 months. They are the same lists as Mr. Hill used for his own society, only the head was altered. His Honour—Oh I the same information under a dif ferent title. Witness—Yes. I believe there is no dispute about the goods being delivered. The subscription lists were here handed to his Honour,who said—l once flourished in one of these things for £ll. An attorney in Edinburgh got judgment against me by default in a matter about which I knew nothing. And so it ap- pears that there is a judgment against the judge of the Sheriffs' Court for £ll. It was a very flagrant piece of business—but they do any dirty thing over there. Plaintiff's manager (cross-examined by Mr. Norman) — The circular you produce was printed in our house. I cannot say if the letter you produce was printed by us. I believe it was. It is signed " Richard M'Sweeny." There was a dispute between plaintiff and defendant about the prices. Defendant wanted the price charged lower, and on the 6th July gave notice that he should discontinue the lists. Or ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES. Lava Caliban Seven ran. COLUMN STAKES.

Lady Kingston His Honour referred to some posters, in which each party had attacked the other pretty strongly, and upon reading a letter, said there appeared to be a promise to pay. Mr. Norman—Your Honour will see. (Producing a bundle of documents to plaintiff's manager)—What are these ? Witness—Subscription lists sent from our office to de fendant. The name of the printer appears to none of those lists, nor has it ever been done during the 18 months. As to the letter signed " M'Sweeny," I saw one a few days ago in blank at oxr home. I can't say if it was printed at our house, but I believe it was. The name of the printer has not appeared to any of the lists supplied within the last 18 months. Mr. Norman (instructed by Messrs. Clarke and Earle) then said that had plaintiff waited until the• proper time the money would have been paid, but ho had thought proper to make a sudden and peremptory demand, and would be met in his own spirit. After describing that the parties were wool traders, Mr. Norman said plaintiff cannot recover as the goods delivered have not been sent out in a legal form. By the 2d and 3d Vic., cap. 12, any printer who shall send out any document intended for publication, or meant for dispersion, which does not bear the printer's name on some part, shall not be able to recover for such work ; and further, shall be liable to a penalty of £5 for every document so sent out. By the 39 Goo. 111., cap. 7, sec. 27 (repealed by 2 and 3 Vic.), the penalty was £2O. In the case of Chappell v. Davidson, 25 Lau; Journal, this point arises— His Honour—Then, according to that statute, Hill has incurred a penalty of £5 for every one of these lists. If there is any illegality he cannot recover. Mr. Barnard—All the items are not open to such an ob jection. LATEST BETTING. CITY AND SUBURBAN.

This was an action to recover a sum of money alleged to have been lent to defendant. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, APRIL 9. Ills Royal Highness the Prince Alfred was confirmed on Thursday, the sth inst , at Windsor Castle, in the Private Chapel, by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the presence of her Majesty the Queen, his Re}al High ness the Prince Consort, and the members of the Royal Family. Mr. Best, instructed by Mr. Waghorn, of Mark-lane, for the plaintiff, said his client was a mill stone manufacturer, of Mark-lane. Defendant had been in his service as a sub contractor, and had received various sums of money on account of mill-stones entrusted to him, to render fit for mills. He had thought proper to leave his work unfinished, and as he was not entitled to anything until the work was completed, plaintiff now sought to recover the money paid to defendant. WHITEHALL, Arum 7. The Queen has been pleased to order a congC d'elire to pass the Great Seal, empowering the Dean and Chapter.of the cathedral church of Rochester to elect a Bishop of that see, the same being void by the death of Dr. George Mur ray, late Bishop thereof; and her Majesty has also been pleased to recommend Joseph Cotton Wigran3, M.A., Arch deacon of Winchester, to be elected by the said dean and chapter, Bishop of the said see of Rochester. FOREIGN-OFFICE, APRIL 7. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Charles Alison, Esq., now Secretary to her Majesty's Embassy at Constantinople, to be her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Shah of Persia. The Queen has also been graciously pleased to appoint George. Fagan, Esq., now Secretary to her Majesty's Le gation to the Argentine Confederation, to be her Majesty's Charg4 d'Affaires and Consul - General to the Republics of Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Sal vador. Plaintiff was called, and said he paid his sub-contractor generally something on account, but considered he was not bound to do so until the work was finished. Mr. Wood, for the defendant, said the only thing re quired to be done should be done at the work, and if defend ant had finished his work he would be entitled to £l4. The money paid was paid on account of work actually done by defendant, and thus plaintiff was no loser. Mr. Best said there was a clear breach of contract. Plaintiff said be did not discharge defendant. Defendant was called, and said ho was anxious to finish his work, but could not find room in the yard. Plaintiff's late foreman prevented defendant from finishing his work. Defendant was discharged by plaintiff's foreman. A witness was called by the defendant, and said it was not usual to leave before finishing the work. Plaintiff's foreman was called, and said he did not dis charge defendant. His Honour non-suited plaintiff without costs. CROWN-OFFICE, APRIL 5. MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT.

They then stopped a young woman, who, after speaking to them, pointed as if directing them, and they left her. He immediately went up and asked if she had lost anything, and at first she said she had not, but on putting her hand into her pocket missed her purse. He then told the young woman to go to Vine-street, and fol lowed them into Berkeley-square, where he seized the man and told him he was concerned with the woman in stealing a purse. He immediately struck him a severe blow on the chest and kicked him on the leg, and the' started off. He pursued him, and on taking him into custody he said he (Butcher) had made a grand mistake, "for he was a gen tleman." Elizabeth Thomas, 18, 11ill-street, Berkeley-square, said the prisoners came up to her and asked the way to Regent circus.

It is alleged by experienced merchants in London that, according to their latest advices, cotton manufactures from England cannot be sold except at a loss of 15 per cent. at Bombay, 10 per cent. at Calcutta, and 7 or 8 per cent. in China, and, moreover, that there has been no real profit on any such goods shipped hence during the last six months. Looking at the fact that the consign ments now going forward are on a scale larger than has ever previously been known, these asser tions must create great disquiet. They admit, however, of qualification in a very important man ner. Although the buyer of Manchester goods for exportation to India and China may expose himself to the losses in question, it does not follow that the Manchester manufacturers who ship on their own account may not still be operating at a profit, since a sacrifice of ' from 7 to 15 per cent. may fail to absorb the entire gain between the current price of their goods and the cost at which they arc actually turned out. The speculative shipper, therefore, who buys the goods at a quotation including the manu facturer's profit, is mainly the person whose trans actions are to be contemplated with anxiety. Can it be shown that the condition of the markets is not such as is alleged, and that goods bought in Manchester will not only bring back full returns, after paying freight, commissions, discounts, and all charges, but will also yield a fair remunerative surplus? The magnitude of the matter is such that a more momentous inquiry was never raised in the commercial world, and if the answer should be unfavourable we shall be driven to the suspicion, or rather to the conviction, that the lesson of 1857 has already b een discarded'. Happily, if the prices in India are, as is believed, even now sufficiently high to cover the prime cost of the manufacture, the trade will yet prove to have caused no absolute impoverishment to this country; but tke visions of unbounded profits which at present dazzle all who contemplate the monthly totals of our cotton exports will inevitably be dispelled, and the crash must fall somewhere. It will be shared, perhaps, partly by such of the manufacturers as may have sold their goods to speculative mer chants on six months' acceptances, partly on such banks as may now be congratulating themselves upon the extraordinary revival in the discount busi ness of the coun try, and partly on the general public, who may as yet see no reason to distrust any of the new and dashing gentlemen who are rapidly rising up into the position of great promoters of Eastern commerce. The temptation created by the competi tion for bills by the various banking establishments under the system of allowing interest on deposits ; the facilities afforded by the long dates over which Indian transactions are spread before their actual results are brought to the test; and, finally, the advantage which the system of friendly assignments and windings up under inspection give to every ad venturous character who may have the adroitness to carry on business for two or three years on a scale that will admit of private appropriations and marriage settlements, are considerati ons th at may excuse a suggestion for l vigilance even at a moment when the whole country is revelling in a sense of prosperity. The repetition of the fact observable in 1857, that, with all our wonderful trade, the tendency of our bullion returns shows that we are spending rather more than we earn, while the ad vance in the rate of discount has no perceptible effect in checking the demand, coupled with the circumstance that the nute circulation during the past twelve months has been freequently 10 per cent. in excess of its normal amount, are signs of some exceptional influences, which, at all events, are worthy of attention.—l imes' City Article.

At every production of the navy estimates we are reminded that " steam is in its infancy," and the fact is impressed upon us by a very disagreeable process. We are compelled to provide enormous sums for the nurture and sustenance of our steam force without ever arriving at the happy period of economy and relief. In fact, to judge from the last ten years' experience, the expense will be perpe tual—that is to say, we shall never find a steam marine as cheap as the old sailing navy. It is not merely that the work of construction or conversion is constantly going on. That process would come to an end in course of time, though it has been truly a tedious one; but the truth is, that even when the British navy has attained the standard of expansion delineated by Sir John Pakington a short time ago, it will cost a far greater sum for its maintenance than would have been needed in years gone by. The elements of cost, indeed, appear in every direc tion. What with the increased size of our vessels and the value of the machinery which they contain, the original charge of a ship is often more than doubled. A 50-gun frigate of the modern build costs fo ur ti mes as much as a vessel of that rate in last, though su, t eg i na m hon e rd . mn toohtues l Then we comes itemaesatr,;atnhtdt the rapid et ner tear rp e h le. edfconsumptionwena engines eso f t the dilapidationines; a n d of the whole fabric under the new system of propulsion. We have touched upon this topic once or twice b e f ore , b ut the subject is so important that we commend it afresh to publis consideration, especially as a recent event will place it in rather a striking light. Last week five stout steamships of the Channel squadron anchored at Spithead on their return from Lisbon. They had encountered boisterous weather, no doubt, but we certainly were not prepared for the report that they had all suffered such damage as to require considerable repairs before they could again proceed to sea. From the description given. of their condition it appears evident that they suf fered not merely as ships, but as steamships. Had they been sailing vessels of the old character they might have been longer on the voyage and less efficient men of-war, but they would probably not have received such injury as to send them into dock. Nelson used to talk triumphantly of the manner in which his ships could buffet the gales of the Mediterranean without carrying away a spar; but Nelson's vessels had no steam-pipes to be car ried away, no funnel-casings to be torn, and no condensers to be cracked. We suspect, too, that they would have rolled far less heavily and with slighter strain, while the current outlay upon each would have been much less considerable. We expressly call attention to this example because it illustrates the chief point of our present difficulties. When the great dockyard mystery was investigated last year, it came out that the principal expenditure in our national establishments was upon repairs. The construction of new ships was quite a secondary concern, and was, in fact, provided for out of the surplus or margin left by the charges of renewing and refitting. That was the way the money went, and these formidable charges are enormously increased by a system of \v propul s i on illa is not only cos tl y i n itself, but which shakes the ships to pieces besides. Indeed, we seem to be getting from worse to worse, for the vibration of the screw is said to be more destruc tive than that of the paddle. We are therefore incessantly at work in repairing damages, and a few days at sea in heavy weather is enough to send back our stoutest vessels with fresh demands upon the resources of our yards. Let the reader just consider how terribly these accumulated conditions must tell upon the current charge of the Navy. A ship in these days costs much more to build, much more to keep going, and lasts, probably, not half as long after all. Un luckily, we hardly know the worst in this latter respect, for our steam marine is still too young to have shown its average of casualties; but it is only tco evident that such wear and tear as we have described must soon terminate a vessel's career. This is an answer to those who institute numerical comparisons between our naval force at the pre sent day and that of 1815. The money spent on the Mersey steam frigate would have built three old-fashioned 74's. The cost of such a fleet as we possessed at the close of the Revolu tionary Wars would, if raised to the modern standard of charge, be almost beyond computation. We possess, in reality, a fleet which is infinitely stronger than the fleets of former days, though its power, as regards ships of the line, is concen trated in a much smaller number of vessels. The finest squadron ever taken to sea by Coiling wood or Jervis would have been blown out of the water by the five ships which are so damaged in a voyage from Lisbon. All' this outlay, in short, is forced upon us by a single condition of the first necessity. The great object in a ship of war is, as the Secretary of the American Navy defined it, to place a gun in pre sence of an adversary, and withdraw it, in the shortest possible space of time. There is the prin ciple which governs the whole system. For the sake of this object we fabricate machinery, consume fuel, and shape the hulls of our vessels on the newest and most approved models. A ship which can steam 15 knots an hour will infallibly be more than a match for one that can steam only 12; in fact, the slower vessel would lie utterly at the mercy of its more quickly-moving adversary. Even here, however, the prospect is somewhat uncertain, for no vessel can always rely on her steam power. The most roomy and commodious specimens will only carry fuel enough for 10 or 12 days' consumption, so that on a long cruise, or in a protracted blockade, ships must again resort to their sails, reserving their steam for critical periods. And what, under such circumstances, would be the p:ight of our modern vessels, with their heavy armaments and ponderous machinery ? Would they be able to brave storm after storm like the lighter and more buoyant craft of 50 years since ? The inquiries thus suggested are, perhaps, not very embarkedagreeable. uponlt isa unpleasant system t w o be reflect his that costly have in the extreme, which will probably never get much cheaper, and which yet, in some respects, may prove less convenient than that which it super seded. But there is Ito help for it. A sailing ves sel could not keep the sca against a steamer for half an hour, and it must always be recollected that what is a burden upon us is a burden upon other Powers also. In the end it comes to this— that war, including the preparations against it, will be a more costly business than formerly, and perhaps, therefore, will work out its own cure. When the Secretary of the Admiralty told the house the other day that a naval captain of his acquaintance was perfectly astounded at the cost of his ship for a single year, he gave the key to the annual charges of the Navy. There was the unit of cost. A ship is incredibly expensive, and yet is always getting out of repair. Something, we firmly believe, is to be saved by better principles of management; but we shall never altogether escape the large expen diture and inevitable waste which steam power in volves.--Times.

A MOST LAMENTABLE SPECTACLE.—AIice Collyer, the wreck of a once handsome woman, who has been charged at this court upwards of one hundred times in the course of fourteen years with assaults, drunkenness, and disorderly conduct, was again brought up before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk and disorderly last night in Suffolk-street, New-road, near the London Hospital. The unfortunate prisoner was in a most wretched and emaciated state, and supported herself on crutches. She is the wife of a most respectable man, who holds an important situation in one of the docks, and she has had a family of children by him, who aro well provided for. The prisoner's husband die.' carded her many years since in consequence of her dissolute conduct, and allowed her a weekly stipend for her mainte nance, which she squandered in the indulgence of her taste for strong liquors. Childs, a police-constable, No. 193 11, said the prisoner was lying down in the middle of the street last night, with her crutches alongside of her, and she made a good deal of noise, and called out murder and police. He begged of her to rise, and not make a b?ast of herself, but she insisted on remaining where she was, and acted in a most disorderly manner. He was compelled at last to take her into custody. She was very much intoxicated. Mr. Selfe—ls the prisoner a cripple ? Childs—She has hurt her ankle. _ _ _ The prisoner—l have broken my ankle. I have been in the London Hospital four months, and received these crutches there. I have just come out. Mr. Selfe—No. You have got drunk directly you came out, and no doubt you wore drunk just before you entered the hospital. Where is this wretched woman's husband ? Roche, the gaoler of the Court, said that the husband of the prisoner had not seen or corresponded with her for many years. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner had given more trouble to the magistrates, the police, and the workhouse authorities for a series of years than any other woman in the district. She was a most incorrigible drunkard, and uow presented a most lameuable spectacle.

The whole administration has been renovated, the Piedmonteso employes having been withdrawn and replaced by adherents to France. The circulation of pamphlets, newspapers, and notes contrary to annexation to France is either stopped or retarded. The arrival of M. Laity has greatly excited the zeal and activity of the French agents, and a heavy pressure is brought to bear upon the populaticn, little accus tomed to resist official intimations. Promises of all sorts are scattered about—banks, railroads, places, &c. ; whilst intimidation is not neglected, and the word Cayenne has even been uttered. As to the vote itself, the poor people will be much embarrassed. They will be required to vote " Piedmont " or " France," and they well know that the first alternative is impossible, particularly with South Savoy French. So that, even were they left free from any pressure, they could not express their desire to be united to Switzerland.—Letter from Genevd. General Dieu, after several months of extreme suffering, died yesterday in Paris of the wounds he received at Solferino. The Emperor paid a visit to his bedside only a few days ago. Before his death the general expressed a hope that the 74th Regiment, which he headed at the mo ment when he fa, would" fire a salute over his grave. - 204 204 10 100 1 100 106 Stock 20 Sto.

HOff FORTUNES ARE SOMETIMES MADE. It often happens that an individual or a firm is supposed to be rich from the fact that they possess the confidence of their fellow man, by which they , trade and in due time amass wealth. As an illus tration of this, we may state the following circum stance which came under the writer's observation. A young Englishman landed in America with just sufficient means to meet his immediate necessities his first object was to obtain employment, the re muneration for which enabled him to lay by about 300 dollars. With this capital he started in business for himself, and commenced trading in such com modities as he could turn to a profit readily; he progressed slowly, but earned more than he ex pended on his living. In the town he had chosen for his adventure he was a perfect stranger, but in course of time was recognised as a man always punctual in his business transactions ; his resources were never questioned, simply because he never made an en gagement but what he felt certain he should be able to keep. By this course, he soon gained the first element of prosperity—confidence. One day he was attending the usual trade sales, when he met with what his judgment suggested an eligible oppor tunity for investing the whole of his capital, and he would readily have done so, but as the purchase required considerably more than he possessed, he reluctantly abandoned the opportunity, as it had become his ruxim to let no one know the extent of his resources, and wishing to avoid heavy specula tions, bearing in mind the proverb, that " Vessels large may venture more, But little boats must keep near shore." However, in the course of the day, a Yankee, with whom he had never before had any communi cation, accosted him with " Wal, Britisher! I cal kilate that worn't a bad fixing you were looking at this morning ?" " Perhaps not," responded our friend. " Wal, I guess if you could ris a thou sand dollars or so you would have done it sli c k, en ?" " Perhaps I might." " Then just give me your bill at a month, and you shall have them." Our friend vs as rather taken aback by this liberal offer, which was essentially made upon his credit, and with out security. He eventually availed himself of it,made the venture, by which before the expiration of a month he more than trebled his capital. Though he frequently met his stranger friend, not a word passed as to the success of the investment, till a few days before the bill became due, it was repaid, when the liberal Yankee merely observed "Wal, Britisher, whenever you want a thousand dollars, or more, you can have them of me." This was the only occasion on which our friend ever borrowed money ; he had obtained confidence, which had secured him credit, by which, combined with industry, he amassed a considerable fortune.—From-an article on " What is Wealth ?" ,in " Lilwall's Mercantile Circular." THE CLUB PROSECUTIONS IN EDINBURGH. A bench of justices of the peace at Edinburgh, consisting of Logan White, Esq., of Kellerston, chairman ; Charles Lawson, Esq., of Berthwich Hall ; William Bailie, Esq., of Falahill ; J. Wauchope, Esq., of Edmonstone ; and R. B. Ward law Ramsay, Esq., of Whitehill—sat yesterday to give judgment in the case of the Excise against Mr. B. R. Hunter, steward of the Harmonic Club, the question being whether a club-house requires to take out a license in order to enable its members to be supplied with spirits. Mr. Lothian having been heard for the prosecution, and Mr. James Bell, S.S.C., for the defender, Mr. Warillaw Ramsay said, having heard the evidence the last da y , he had g i ven th e utmost attention to the point whether a club required to take out a license. The act on which the prosecutor went was passed thirty-five years ago, and it was strange that no prosecution had ever been raised under it against any of the clubs, which had existed since that date till now. There was nothing in the Forbes Mackenzie Act rendering clubs liable to take out a license, and he, therefore, did not consider that they were bound to do so under the act of 1825, otherwise there would have been prosecutions before now against club-houses. Ile considered that the defender should be assoilzied. Mr. Logan White held that club houses which dealt in spirits were clearly liable under the terms of the act to take out a license, and that the de fender being the steward of the club, and the real occupant of part of the K em t ise e s, cl a u n b wdosatsenhseilbd, wasleoc cupant of the rest, in which the the person identified as a dealer in spirits. If the effect of their judgment was to render the new club and other similar clubs liable to take out licensee he could not help it. It was the law. Mr. Bailie and Mr. Wauchope concurred with Mr. R amsa y. Mr.Wauchope characterised the con duct of the magistrates in regard to their treat ment of the agent for the club masters, in the police court, as worthy of the worst days of Judge Jeffries, and denounced their interpretation of the law as against the clubs as laying down one law for the rich and another for the poor. Mr. Lawson concurred with the chairman, Mr. White. There being thus a majority of three against t wo in favour of th e acquittal of the defender he was acquitted accordingly, amidst the cheering of a very crowded court. Mr. Lothian then called a similar case against Mr. J. Morris, of the Edinburgh Club, and took a formal decision to the same effect in his favour, his object being to appeal both decisions to the quarter sessions.
