THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING,' THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK (This Day COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL, (Sitting at Nisi Prius, betore Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. BROWN AND OTHERS. FIFTH DAT. The trial of the information against the directors and manager of the Royal British Bank for conspiring by false pretences to defraud the shareholders and cus tomers and the public, was this day resumed. The same counsel appeared as before, Mr. Kennedy, on the part of Mr. Brown, asked his lordship to strike off his notes the statement of Cameron to Paddison, relative to Brown's falsehood in reference to the freight of the Hornet. The statement was made in Brown's absence, and could not be received in evi dence against him. Sir F. Thesiger said he wished his lordship to strike out of his notes everything that was not strictly legal that might have got there by accident, owing to the complicated nature of the case. The evidence was accordingly expunged. Sir F. Thesiger said that he had been in communica tion with the other fide relative to the remunera tion to abe given to the jury for their attendance on this trial, and they were desirous his lordship at the close of the case should decide what the jury ought to receive. Sir F. Kelly said he entirely concurred in the applica. tion of Sir F. Thesiger, and hoped his lordship would undertake the duty. Lord Campbell said he was glad some arrangement of this sort had been made, It was mo 4 unjust to call on gentlemen whose time was so valuable to them to attend on a trial of this magnitude for the public benefit. The law had made no such provision for a case of this kind, and he would willingly take upon himself the task at the close of the case, which he hoped would some time arrive,— (laughter)-- of stating what remuneration he I thought ought to be given to the jury. Mr. Anderson was recalled. He produced 10 bills of Oliver's. In October, 1855, he handed the bills to Mr. Crawford to take to Liverpool. The bills amounted to 23,0001. On Mr. Crawford's return, the bills were missed ; witness was called before the board to explain the loss ; afterwards the hills were found, and on the 18th December he went before a court meeting attended by the Governor, Deputy-Governor, Mr. Stapleton, Mr. M`Oloud, Mr. L. M. Valiant, and the general manager, when the latter reported the bills had been found and bow they were found ; he produced the bills and Oliver's discount pass book at that time. By Sir F. Kelly—. The bills became due between the 7th November, 1854, and 24th April, 1855. Some pay ments were made on account in 1855 and 1856. By Mr. James— Oliver was considered at one time one of the largest shipowners in the kingdom ; he failed for upwards of a million of money. Mr. Crawford deposedthat he went to Liverpool with the bills in October, 1855, and received a composition of 2s. 6 4 . in the puud at the Bankruptcy Court there on 24,010/. 19s. 11d. On his return he gay s th e bills stamped with the composition to Mr. Cameron, and he told him at the same time that he calculated a further dividend would be received of 2s. or 2s. 6d. in the pound. By Mr. James—Oliver's debt at the time of the failure of the bank was 13,0001., havin g b een reduced ; by payments another dividend of 2e. in the pound had been paid by the estate since the stoppage of the Royal British Bank. In a deed of transfer to creditors Mr. Oliver's ships were valued at 688 ,750/. By Mr. Seymour—Mr. Cameron led him to believe that Mr. Walton, the governor, was virtually respon sible, to a certain extent, on Oliver's dent. He could not say if it was to the entent of 13,0001., the dis counts were always obtained through Mr. Walton, and his account was opened by him. Several deeds were put in relative to Oliver's security, and evidence was taken with reference to the dividends that had been received under the estates of persons involved in these transactions. Mr. Paddison recalled—Messrs. Owen, Esdaile, and Richie were appointed in 1850 as the past due bids committee, In 1855 Niessrs. Esdaile, M'Cloud, and Valiant formed the committee. Mr. Anderson was recalled, and, in answer to a ques tion from Sir F. Kelly, said Oliver's balance-sheet in June, 1855, was 17,0001. It was reduoed from that time to the failure of the bank. It was the opinion of Cameron that, under all circumstances, the amount would be liquidated. After giving credit for all that had been paid, the balance in November, 1855, was 14,6001. against Oliver. Mr. Paddison said he understood Mr. Walton was virtually responsible for Olives debt, though his name was not on the bills. The prosecution then passed to Mr. John M‘Gregoee account. Mr. Atherton put in a letter from the late Mr. John M‘Gregor, dated 24th Feb.. 1850, from Hyde Park. It was addressed to Mr. Cameron, and stated that, as his (Mr. M'Gregor's) time was much occupied by his atten dance in Parliament, and the discharge of other duties, he wished to guard against pecuniary inconvenience during the session of Parliament. Messrs. Drummond had hitherto assisted him, but he was now differently situated, and could not go to them nor his brother-in law, without its looking suspicious with reference to the Royal British Bank. He required 5001. or 6001, in addition to his wife's income to carry him over to the end of the session. He could offer no other security except his promissory note and a policy for 1,0001. It would be hard if a director of the bank were placed in a worse _poaitien than their ordinary customers, and be had made the a pplication by l e tt er rat h er than it should be considered by the court in hi s p resence. Mr. Paddison was called, and said on the f o ll ow i ng d ay a court was held, when the committee, comprising Messsr. Esdaile, Gwyune, Owen, Hurst, and the general manager granted an advance of 1,0001. In 1851 a sum of 2,0001. was advanced to Mr. J. Macgregor. That gentleman gave the b an k i n security stares in a great number of compa n i es , some Bank stock, and policies of insurance. Th e secur i ties realised only 1,8001. ; 8001. for the Bank st oc k , and 1,000/. policy, Amongst the securities were sha res and scrip in the Eastern Archi pelago Comp an y, I r i sh Beet -root Sugar company, Irish Peat Comp any , Chartered Au s t ra li an Land and Importing Com Gold Comp any, R oyal Australian Bask and Gold In Februry, 1854, Mr. M acgregor ret i re d f r om the directory. Ills d e bt d ue to the bank at the end of June, part y, an d the Stran d B r idg e . 1855, amounted to between 6,000/, and 7,00 01 . Mr. Macgregor's se cur iti es were kept sealed up till after that time, when th e y were handed over by Mr. Cameron to witness, wh o retained them till the failure of the bank. The witness wag examined at considerable length relative to the court meetings, &a , in reference to the debt, and who were present at the. time. Letters were read from Mr. M acgregor to the bank, his straightened circumstances at the time. By Mr. James—Mr, Macgregor was a matt of good repute at the time. He bad been a secretary to the Board of Trade at 2,000/, a-year, and was a member o f parliament. These circualstnoces gave a prestige_ which showed to Mr. Macgregor who was supposed to be a " 1 " respectable, most 'honourable, and reasonably resP"' any doubts as to his responeibilit for the advances made to him by the bank. It was discovered after Bible man. He (Mr. Paddison) never entertained Mr. Mullens' death, that advances had been surrep tittourly obtained by Mr. Mac g regor, initialling his bills fo r payment,- regor, by the former without the knowledge of the ectors. Mr. E s d ai l e frequently compla i ne d of tbis, and was exceedingly angry about it when it Was discovered after Mr. Mullens' dea th. Advances were thus made to the extent of s ev er al thousands in p 1 i B e y t i agreed the whole.

LINDSAY. This important appeal cause was appointed fur bearing this morning. The Lord Chancellor /laid that Lord Wenslsydale declined to sit to hear this case, on the ground chat ho was a shareholder of the London and North Western Railway Company. The Lord Chancellor entertained doubts cf the propriety of his lcrdship's declinature ' as every Peer in this h ouse was, or might be somewhat interested in causes coming before it, but not to the extent of disqualifying them to sit and judge in the case. - Counsel in the cause—The Attorney-General ; the Lord Advocate ; Mr. Anderson, Q.C. ; and Mr. Rult, Q.C. The Attorney-General opened the case for the appellant. The respondent, Mr. Lindsay, raised two actions before the Court of Session in Scotland against the rail way company. The first was an action of damages for refusing to carry his fruit. The second was in action of solatiunt, for injury done to his fr‘el ligs, by exhibiting a notice in their office of their refusal to carry his fiu't Upon these actions he used arrestruents in the hands of the Caledonian Railway Company against the London and North Western Railway Company, for the purpose of founding the juris diction of the Court of Session over the London and Nortb-Westertt Railway Company, an English com pany, jurisdictione fundandi causa, until the company found caution de jadicio sisti et judicatunt ro:vi to answer the judgments of the Court. The appellants ob jected to the competency of the action and re levancy of the arrestmeote. That arreetments jurisdictione fandandi causa are competent only upon actions of debt and not upon unliquidated actions of damages. Lord Neave's ordinary, by his interlocutor, sustained the competency of the actions and jurisdiction of the court over the railway company. On 20th Nov., 1855, the Lords of the First Division of the Court of Session affirmed the interlocutor of Lord Neave's ordinary, with coats. From these interlocutors, or judgments, the railway company appealed to the House of Lords. The Attorney-General argued that if these arrestments were sustained, if any Englishmen left his hat or umbrella in a hotel in Scotland it might be arrested in the hands of the hotel keeper, and an action afterwards brought against him, and in his absence and behind his back a judgment of the court might be obtained against him which might be attended with the meet ruinous consequences to him. It is probable that the hearing of the case will occupy the whole of this day. The next appeal case on the paper set down for hearing is the appeal of Edmond v. Gordon, also a Seotch appeal. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commigsioner Rol:11d.) IN RE BRITTEN. This bankrupt was described as of Noble-street, fringe manufacturer, and to-day was appointed for the last examination meeting, which had been adjourned that the assignees might have an opportunity of inves• tigating the accounts which had been filed under the private arrangement act but the case was ultimately converted into a bankruptcy. Mr. Bagley, on the part of the assignees, now said that they had got through the bankrupt's books which had been kept with g reat regularity, and they were perfectly satisfied with the accounts. The bankrupt now passed. . _ Mr. Pook, for the bankrupt, asked for an allowance up to the present time as the delay had not occurred through any negligence on part. The assignees did not object and the order was made. IN RE WADE. This bankrupt had earried on business as a paper manufacturer at Postford Mills, near Guildford. From the accounts by Messrs. Paul and Turner it appears that the debts are about 1,0921., and liabilities, 1,0791.; but the property amount ibg to 1,5261. had been seized under an execution. The chief cause of the bank ruptcy was the liability through a person named Molk-n -den, with whom the bankrupt had been in partnership, and who forged du?lieat.e bills of lading and cobverted thew to his own use, and for which offence he is now suffering penal servitude. The bankrupt passed without opposition. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day MA RLBOROUGH-STREET. A MILITARY GENTLEMAN'S INTERFERENCE.—Ann Bingham was this morning charged with annoying male passengers, in Castle-street, in the neighbourhood of Leicester- s quare, while in a state of drunkenness, and Captain Dainey Roebuck with attempting to rescue her from the custody of the police. Police-constable C 50, Reeve, said he saw the female the prisoner, who was drunk, at half-past two o'clock in morning, laying hold of gentlemen. He desired her to desist,but she continued, and laid hold of oneopparently much to his annoyance, when he took her into custody. Oa the road to the station with his prisoner, the male defendant came up, and told him to Ist her go. Oi course he took no notice of this, and he then accused him of using unnecessary violence towards her, which he told him was not required. As they proceeded the male defendant kept dodging about them, at one time in front and then at his aide, so that witness found it necessary to call for the assistance of another policeman whom he met. When opposite the Great Globe in Leicester-square O. male defendant seized hold of wit esee arm and exclaimed, "Blast you, ify on don't leave the woman alone I'll punch your head." Witness then gave the female prisoner over to his comrade, and arrested the male defendant for obstructing him in the execution of his duty, for the purpose of rescuing a prisoner from custody. C 49 confirmed the last witness's statement as re- ' garded part of the interference, the laying hold of the constable's arm, and the threat. The male defendant, having been called upen for his answer, said the constable's statement was true, except the words it was alleged he bad used. He saw the con stables taking the woman along with unnecessary violence, and merely said, " Don't you think you will gain your object better by refraining from sueh vio lence?" for they were pulling her by her arms, to the danger of dislocating them. Greatly to his surprise, he, on his remonstrating, was laid hold of, the constable asking him who he was—Prince Albert, the Emperor of the French, or an infernal Marquis ? A gentleman, formerly in th e army , sa id b e was w i t h defendant, hi s friend, and certainly did not hear the words attributed to him. Mr. Bingham said that was very probable, but be believed the btatement of the two constables, to one of whom they were addressed, that they were used. He would advise the defendant, when he was inclined to interfere for the protection of suffering damsels, to let it be for some worthier object than a drunken prostitute. As a military tnae, he would think it very presumptuous of the police interfering with him in escorting a prisoner. He should, being the first time, di charge the female prisoner, but fine th-i male defendant 40s. THE ALHAMBRA. PALACE CONCEIiTzS. The void left by the departure of Jullien will be more than filled up by the enterprising Mr. E. T. Smith, who has become the purchaser of the magnificent establish ment on the east aide of Leicester-square, formerly known as the P anopt i con, and the name of' which he has changed to the more appropriate one of the Alham bra Palace. He has also made au entire change in the character of the entertainments provided, and last even inggave the first of a ser i es o f concerts which promise to rival anything of the kind that has ever been produced in London. The programme comprised a selection from " Der Freischutz," "La Traviata," "Il Barbiere di Seviglia," "Il Trevatore," " Maritana, " and a miscellaneous collection. The orchestra, which was numerous and efficient, was under the direction of the very able conductor, Mr. J. H. Tally, whose abilities have long been too well known and appreciated to render it nec , ssary that we should offer even that weed of praise to which he is so justly entitled. Amongst the principal artistes we may mention La Signora Finoli, who, if we mistake not, made her first appearance on this occasion before a London audience, and was eminently successful. She sung, with Signor Dragoe6, Rossini's " Dunque io son " most brilliantly, and elicited a rapturous encore, which, at its termina tion, was again loudly applauded. In consequence of the absence of Mr. Bartleman, who was in the pro- ' gramme for the next air, Mademoiselle Finoli was im mediately called upon to sing her next air, " Una voce poco fa," in which she acquitted herself in a , manner that at once stamped her as as artiste of the highest order. She obtained warm and unanimous applause, and would have been encored a second time but for the considerate interposition of the more thoughtful portion of the audience. Madame Rudders dorff sang the cavatiea, "Twee la Notte," from the "Trovatore,"exceedingly well, and was much applauded, and Signor Dragont was very effective in the aria, "II baton." The other artistes were Mr. Charles Braham, Madame Borchardt, Miss Poole, Mr. G. Perrin, and Mr. Bartleman, who sang several of their favourite pieces in their usual excellent manner. The whole arrangement for the evening was extremely satisfactory, and we have no doubt but the enterprising proprietor will reap that substantial benefit he so justly merits. We understand the concert will be repeated to-morrow evening.

A Novel. 3 vols.— " The Morals of Mayfair' is a work of unquestionable ability ; great in performance, still greater in promise If it is a first appearance, we may congratulate litera , tare upon a success which adds another to the list of authors marked for present popularity, if not for a future of fame. There is in this novel, a delightful freshness of conception as well as of execution. There is novelty in the story and originality in the telling of it. The characters are not common-place, yet they are puiectly natural. Critically examined, the writing is e n t i tl e d to much praise. It is lively and sparkling.

THE CONSPIRACY BILL. ---4---- MEETING IN LAMBETH. Last evening a very crowded public meeting was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, to protest against the bill, proposed by Lord Palmerston, in reference to conspiracy to murder. Mr. F. Doulton was called to the chair. Among those on the platform was Mr. Williams, M.P., one of the representatives for Lambeth. A letter from Mr. Roupell, M.P., was read re gretting his inability to attend. The CHAIRMAN said the question they were met to discuss was not a political, but a national and social one, being nothing less than to determine whether we should submit to a deep insult offered to the peeple of this country. (Hear.) He con tended that the present law was ample to meet any requirements sought to be met by the proposed measure, and no amendment of the law was neces sary. (Rear.) The introduction of this bill was a gross insult to ournational honour. The country had been denominated in the Monitcur a don of conTirators, and the people of this country were said to be the friends of assassins. To the despatch which had been sent by France he considered that a firm and indignant answer should have been given, teiling France that their present ruler had himself enjoyed all the privileges which he now sought to have taken away from less fortunate exiles, and that his demands would not be acceded to. (Hear.) But instead of that the only reply given was the introduction of Lord Palmtrston's bill. (Hisses.) The real object of the bill was to endorse the state of things at present existing on the Continent— (hear)—and to give Louis Napoleon something to fall back upon by making those around him suppose that this country would give him its support if necessary. If this bill failed—as fail it would—in it op , raton, even if it passed into a law, tile result would be that SWIM furt.er demand would be made of a similar or more monstrous nature—(hear)—and so things would go on until at last ihe freedom of the press would be objected to by foreign despots and be attempted to be infringed. Let them, theie fore, nip th s attempt in the bud, and show the futility of all such efforts to introduce deapasna amongst us. (Hear, bear.) Mr. GODDARD moved the first resolution—" That this meeting is of opinion that Lord Palmerston's Conspiracy Bill is unnecessary, and that any attempt to passe measure at the present time, in consequence of foreign menace, is umdignified and contrary to the spirit and usage of the British nation ; and the meeting plidges itself to oppose the same by every constitutional means." Mr. KNIGHT seconded the resolution. Mr. WILLIAMS, M. P., said he had already shown his objection to the proposed bill by opposing it on its first introduction. They were not met to show the people of France that we were not, as represented in the Moniteur, the friends of assassination, for our nation was too well understood, in his opinion, by the people of France to render any such defence necessary. (Hear.) With regard to the Conspiracy Bill, the first lawyers of the day had declared the prezent law in reference to the crime of conspiracy to he amply sufficient . , and therefore no legislation on the subj ect wasrequired. (Cheers.) The bill, if passes, would be inoperative, and would not add to the security of the Emperor of the French one iota, notwithstanding that we might have French spies here in abundance. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was than put to the meeting, and carried with two dissentients amidst loud applause. Mr. HILL moved the next res olution m — r. . " R T o h e a b t u t c h k e thanks of this meeting be given to and the other hon. members who voted with inn, for their manly opposition to Lord Palmerston's treacherous and humiliating policy." A petition to Parliament was then adopted aiainst the bill, and a vot e of thanks having been given to the chairman, the proceedings terminated. MOVEMENT IN LIVERPOOL AGAINST TIIE ALIEN BILL. proposed to hold a public . meetingin week, expressive of sympathy with the sentiments of Mr. Roebuck in reference to Liverpool — 15 e i a s r.ly next the Alien B:11. There is a strong feeling.against the bill in Liverpool, and as the meeting in ques tion has originated with the officials of the various niuncipal wards, it is likely to be very numerous and unanimous in its tone against the Govern ment. DUNFERMLINE. —THE ALIEN BILL. —On Satur day the Town Council met, and, after some discus cussion, resolutions were passed unanimously, expressive of (let:station of the late attempted assassination, and of an earliest desire for a con tinuance of our alliance with the French nation. But, considering that the council had lately peti tioned for the amelioration of punishment s und e r our criminal code, they agreed to petition against Lord Palmerston's Conspiracy Bill, on ae ground of its being totally inefficient for its professed object, and inexpedient, as being introduced at the inEtance of the Fren c h Emperor who had enjoyed the sp.:ttr.:ry afforded by those laws which be now 1,/,l..tciously ungrateftily sought to alter."

At the Birmingham Watch Committee on Tues day, Mr. E. C. Osborne introdu ce d the subject of tile se Arch of Pierri's house by reminding the chairman that he had pledged himself to have some ILquiry on the subje..t instituted. The CHAIRMAN said he was not aware he had so pledged himself, but he was quite ready to take upon LirnsElf the duty of making the requisite in quiry, though it was probably rather the d u t y of the mayor to take up the question. Mr. OSBORNE—AII we want to know in the first instance is simply whether the chief superintendent had any legal authority for entering the house in B tth-row, and removing certain papers. Being our servant, there can be no doubt we have power put the question. The CHAIRMAN—No doubt of that, and with the leave of the committee I shall do so. You are aware, Mr. Stephens, that a good deal of cmver sition has taken place in the town regarding your right to enter Pierri's house and search it. I want to know whether you did enter it, and if you did, uuder whose authority Sou did 80 ? Mr. Stephens—As lam threatened with an action I had better reserve my defence, but of course th e committee will understand hat I wean no offence to them. (Hear.) Tll9 TOWN CLERK said that if the Chief Superin tendent was threatened with an action it would net be fair to ask him any question that might affect Lis defence. Mr. OSBORNE thought they might infer that Mr. Stephens had no authority. However this might be, the committee were bound to take some notice of a matter affecting the iibeity of the subject. In the opinion of some, Mr. Stephens might be justi fied in the course he took, but in his (Mr. Osborne's) opinion no man had a right to take such proceed ings unless he obeyed the law. (Hear.) He did not wish to censure the Chief Superintendent, but he thought some such resolution as the foilowing should be adopted :—" That this committee, hav ing occasion to believe that the Chief Superintendent entered the premises of M. Pierri, situate in Bath row, andtook t herefrom certain papersand correspon dence, without having first obtained the necessary legal authority for so doing, hereby records its opinion that the Chief Superintendent has by such conduct been guilty of a violation of the law, which secures to every resident in this country the right of protection to his person and property." The CHAIRMAN said he thought they should not, after Mr. Stephens's answer, assume that he had •r bad not a warrant. Mr. OSBORNE—If he had a warrant he could not hesitate saying so for a moment, as that would be sufficient answer to any action. Alderman LLOYD thought they should look at the question in a common sense way. If an atrocious murder were committed in London, and Mr. Stephens received iutelligenco that the accused had lived in Birmingham, would he be justified in kearch ing that person's house without a warrant, if the delay of an hour or two became a matter of importaucd ? If he would do so in respect of a Lon don murder, why not in respect of one committed at Paris ? Mr. DEE said that in Birmingham and elsewhere premises were dailysearched without warrants. If they passed Mr. Osborne's resolution they would place tht police in a difficult position. Tne CHAIRMAN repeated his opinion, that after t;e answer of Mr. Stephens it would be unfair either to blame or to justify him. When the ac tion was tried then would be the time to agree to an expiessi.m of opinion. Mr. CUTLER said be thought they were bound to enter upon an inquiry in this matter, as they were la trusted to some ext,t with the liberties of their fellow burgesses. They ought to ascertain whether Mr. Stephens acted in this matter as their servant or the servant of somebody else. If he had acted in an extraordinary manner, or under extraneous authority, say uuder the authority of the Govern ment, the committee ought to know that fact, in order that they might know what control they had over their own servants. Matters were now assuming an alarming appearance. One man had been apprehended in London ; an Englishman had been seized and searched in Paris ; and altogether things were getting so complicated that it became an important quettion whether we should Rot keep ourselves clear of them, and show there was no complicity on the part of the authorities of Bir mingham. He thought, therefore, that not only as regards the liberty of the subject, but for other reasons, they should know by whose authority this search was made. If the committee did not do it the people of Birmingham would not be satisfied. A town's meeting would most certainly be held. As to an action, it was absurd to think Mr. Stephens was afraid of what a man could do to him who would have his head chopped off in a few days. Alderman LLOYD asked Mr. Stephens whether in this instance he had acted differently to what he would have done in an ordinary case of murder ? Mr. STEPHENS replied that he had not, and the subject thou dropped. — Birmingham Daily Post. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.

Allsop, who is said to bay. been implicated in the late attempt to assassinate the Emperor of the French, and for whose apprehension the English Government have offered a reward of 2001., for. merly resided at the Red Hall, near this city. Many of our readers will remember the visit of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, the Chartist leader, to Lincoln, in 1847. for the purpose of propounding his small allotment scheme, and the Red Hall estate, in the parish of Brace. bridge, was fixed upon as the site for the trial of the experiment in Lincolnahire., Mr. Allsop, of Chartist principles, bought the estate of the society, and began to work it on the small allotment plan. The speculation proved for the main part a failure, and the estate was - brought to the hanatner in 1849. Mr. Allsop, who was a member of the Stock Exchange, and a large speculator in landed property, did not reside permanently at th.f Red Hall, but was in the habit of laying flying visit' ir the estate. He was a man of quiet, unostentatiel , , - ;„ gentlemanly demeanour, and was very w o o ch ntao ll those who were brought into intimate him.
