LAW INTELLIGENCE. EQUITY COURTS.—DEa. 4. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) MORRIS V. GAULTIRB. Plaintiff is a clergyman and defendant is a school master at Sydenham, carrying on a boarding school there, in premises known as Sydenham College. Plain tiff purchased a partnershipin the school, the considera tion being 750/., of which he paid 5001. in cash, and gave a bill for the remaining 2501., at six months, de fendant signing a memorandum that he would not nego elate the bill, and that plaintiff was to pay it by five in stalments, at intervals of six months. Subsequently defendant was in want of more money to carry on the business, and it was agreed that the partnership should be dissolved, which was done," and that a fresh partner ship should be entered into between plaintiff and de fendant's son, " on terms hereafter to be agreed upon ;" and a friend of the plaintiff's, a Mrs. Nelson, advanced 460/. ; to the younger Gaultier, for which plaintiff be came jointly liable. When this was done, however, defendant and his son i ssue d a f res h prospectus, leav i ng out plaintiff's name altogether, and they unfurnished his apartments in the school, and, as plaintiff alleged, took measures to exclude him from the partnership. Plain tiff also discovered that defendant had negotiated his bill, by getting it discounted by a Mr. Moses, who sued him upon it. Plaintiff thereupon filed his bill, praying that the partnership accounts be taken, and for a disso lution of the partnership, and the cause now came on on a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from receiving the partnership debts, and for appointing a receiver. It was alleged, on the part of the defendant, that plaintiff engaged to procure for the younger Gaul tier, a title to holy orders, which he had not done ; but this plaintiff denied, though he alleged his willingness to have done so, provided he had found him qualified. His Honour granted an injunction in the terms prayed, and appointed a receiver. (Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.) LORD MIDDLETON V. LASH. This case had been argued some time since at con siderable length. The Vice-Chancellor now gave judgment. He said the question involved a construction of the Thellusson Act, on the direction in the will of Mrs. Beaumont for the accumulation of the interest and annual proceeds of a sum of 50,0001. during the life of her son Wm. Beau mont. The first question, and only question necessary to consider was, whether the trust for accumulation was within the exception, or the second section of the statute, which excepts from its operation provisions for raising portions. The first trust of the annual proceeds of the 50,000/. being for the maintenance and support of her son William, with a trust to accumulate the surplus of the annual proceeds ; and, after the death of William, to dispose of the proceeds of the 50,0001. and the accumula tions, or a competent part thereof, for the maintenance and education of his children during their minorities, • or until their portions should become payable under her will, and as soon as they should attain the age of twenty-one years, or if daughters, at tain that age or be married, then . upon trust to call in the 50,0001., and all the accumulations, and pay and divide the same amonc , all the children of William, in the manner particularly directed in the will. The words of the second clause in the statute, which are applicable to this case, are those which mention, except from its operation, " Any provision for raising portions for my child or children of any person taking any inte rest under such conveyance, settlement, or devise." The children provided for by Mrs. Beaumont out of these accumulations are the children of her son 'William. This provision, to which the accumulations are dedicated by their grandmother, she describes as their po r ti ons ; and, so far as appears, is the only provision made for them. Therefore, if the question comes to be consi dered without reference to decided cases upon the con struction or this clause in the act, there would seem little difficulty in holding that this was the case of a trust for accumulation on a provision for raising portions for the children of a person taking under the ivill which directs the accumulation, that it was within the excep tion in the second section, and therefore not to be re stricted to the statutory period of twenty-one years from the death of the testatrix. But decisions by judges of learning and experience support the proposition that the trust for accumulation in this will was not within the exception as to provisions for portions, and that for the excess beyond the period of twenty-one years the trust for accumulation was invalid. The decision of Lord Lang dale in " Eyre v. Marsden" (2 Keen, 564), of the Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce in "Morgan v. Morgan" (20 Law Journal, 109) ; of the Vice-Chancellor Kindersley in "Bourne v. Buckton" (2 Simmons, N. S. 91) ; of the Vice-Chanhellor Turner in "Jones v. Maggs" (9 Hare, 635) ; have all been quoted and relied on in the argument of the present case to support the construction that the accumulated dividend on the gift in Mrs. Beaumont's will of 50,0001. is not within the exception of the 2d section of the act as to portions. Of the cases quoted at the bar the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor Knight Bruce, in "Beach v. Lord St. Vincent" (19 Law Journal, 130), proceeded on a just construction of the exception as to portions. It had seemed to his Honour at the time that the trust for accumulation was a valid trust to the full exteit. directed by Mrs. Beau mont's will. He had expressed this opinion with diffi dence, and he had postponed the judgment in the present case that he might be guided by the Lord Chan cellor's opinion in the case of " Lord Barrington v. Liddell." Having had an opportunity of reading the note of that judgment, it was a great satisfaction to find that upon a review of the authorities which so un fortunately confined and embarrassed the construction of the exception as to portions the Lord Chancellor, if he has not restored, had at least established a just principle of construction, and had held the trust for accumulation in that case of "Lord Barrington v. Liddell" to be valid, and within the second section of the Thelluson Act. He was bound by the principle of the decision in " Lord Barrington v. Liddell," inde pendently of his own clear opinion, to hold that the trust for accumulation in the present case was entirely valid. The decree would contain a declaration to that effect. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—SATURDAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.) —_ IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT P. PETTIGREW.- 1 11 SCENE HT . COURT. This insolvent, a tailor, applied to be discharged o n tail till his hearing, and a scene occurred which caused a sensation in court. One of the proposed sureties was George Holyoake, described as a bookseller, author, and editor, of Woburn-buildings, Tavistock-square. ere was some objection to take the oath as required, and the party wished the following remarks to be read to Mr. Commissioner Phillips : " This gentleman wishes to state to your Honour, 'that, upon a late occasion, when called upon to make . oath in a Chancery suit, he, before being sworn, obtained permission of the judge to declare that while the oath was legally binding on his conscience, it was not a pro fession of his faith, and he prays leave to make the same declaration now." Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked him what he meant by the paper just read. Did he mean that by it not being a profession of his faith, that it was not on the faith of a Christian ? Holyoake—Yes. Mr. Commissioner Phillips—l think so. Pray what do you call yourself ? Holyoake —A "secularist." . Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked him what he meant by the term "secularist ?" Holyoake said it meant one who gave the preference to the duties of this life. Mr. Commissioner Phillips was not satisfied with the. answer. He had put himself forward as one of thcl bail, and demurred to the oath. Do you (demanded th.f.3 learned commissioner) believe in a God ? Holyoake—l am not prepared to say. Mr. Commissioner Phillips indignantly declared that he would not hear him. Not prepared to say (remarked the learned commissioner) whether you believe in a God. You put yourself forward in a court of justice, and bring scandal upon it by saying that you are not pre pared to say whether you believe in the Deity ! Go and attend to your "secular" business. Holyoake, who had some days previously sworn an affidavit of bail, stood down, and made his way out of court. The insolvent went back to prison. IN RE CHARLES PIGGOTT.—PETITION DISMISSED. This insolvent, who applied under the Protection Act, was opposed by Mr. Sargood for Alexander Jones, a bill-discounter ; Mr. Dowse supported. The insolvent was a boot-maker at Romford, and complained of free trade in the agricultural district de -Pressing his business. Tie paid 30s. to Mr. Jones on a 201. bill as discount, and other sums for holding over. It appeared that upwards of twenty years ago the insol vent took the benefit of the act, and still owed some of the debts. In the schedule the present debts exceeded. 2001. 1 , Mr. Commissio ner Phillip s h e ld th a t, as th e i nso l ven t "no ad more than 3001., and being a trader, he had Iriadictio n , and dismissed the petition. i n° Petition was accordingly dismissed.

GUILDHALL. —Alfred Grossmith was charged with stealing 25 sovereigns, and a large quantity of valuable p ro perty, belonging to Messrs. Taplin and Co., carpet iwarehousemen,s of Wo o d- s t ree t, Ch ea pside, his employers. consider Thc ase had been remanded, the Alderman wishing to how far a promise held out to the prisoner would affect th e evidence subsequently obtained, air whether his co n f ess i on, under such circumstances, cou , I be received. Alderman Farebrother laid he could not finish t IliS case without expre ss i ng his' regret with regard to the conduct of the pawnbroker, in taking goods in Fledge I for less than one-third of their wholesale value, and afterwards purchasing the same description of pro perty for about one-half its value, and that, too, of a mere youth, who had given two different names and two different addresses ; no inquiries being made, no bill of parcels given, and no receipt required ; nor, in fact, anything to show the nature of the trans action, beyond the witness's deposition. He could very well understand tyow the matter stood. The pawnbroker, having got the prisoner in his power, instead of giving him into custody, availed himself of it, and, by making a market of the unfortunate youth, encouraged a system of robbery of employers, which, but for such characters, would seldom be heard of. With regard to the prisoner, the evidence was conclusive as to his guilt ; and he should, therefore, come to the determination to commit him for trial, and leave it for a jury to decide as to the effect of a conditional promise on the prisoner's mind while making a confession. William Reeves and Edward Holmes were charged with stealing a couple of tea-chests and one pound of tea, under the following circumstances :--- Mr. Craney, a tea-dealer of Fore-street, Cripplegate, missed from his shop door, on Thursday last, a chest of tea, and suspecting that the thieves, elated with the success of their first visit, would call upon him again, he availed himself of a detective officer, who arranged the following mode of discovering the offenders :—A dummy tea-chest, with about a pound of tea disposed in it, to look like a full chest, was placed on the spot from which the missing chest had been taken ; it was then connected by a string to an empty chest that was elevated within the door, and left like the other unprotected. On Friday night the detective was on the alert, observed the two pri soners loitering- about, one of them having a sack on his arm. They gradually approached the shop door, and having satisfied themselves that the coast was clear, they threw the sack over the dummy, and were decamping with it, when the empty chest came tumbling down with an alarming noise, and the prisoners were instantly captured and conveyed, with the dummy and empty chest, to the station-house. It further appeared that the prisoners had been seen hovering about Mr. Craney's, shop on Thursday night, but nothing has been heard of the real chest of tea that was stolen. The prisoners were comsa;tted for trial. BOW-STREET.— Wm. Avis, undertaker of 47, High-street, St. Giles's, was charged upon a summons, withlaving made a false statement to the district-regis l trar of St. Giles's, relative to the death of Diana Tees alias Avis. . - - plying for hire, and he hired the defendant to drive him to Bethnal-green. The counsel for the defence contended that there was not strict proof of a plying for hire in a public place such as intended•by the Legislature, and it might be a question whether there was not, in fact, a quasi hiring of the cabs standing at the place referred to, as they were there for the convenience of railway passengers only. Mr. Hammill, after much discussion, said the learned counsel had, in the course of his argument referred to the moaning attached by Dr. Johnson to the word " plying," but the point now in question depended upon the term " elsewhere," to the plain acceptation of which he must adhere ; and finding that there was a plying for hire elsewhere than at the appointed place ; being of opi nion also that that was a place of public resort, he felt bound to convict the defendant. He repeated, however, that he would gladly , assist in obtaining the decision of a superior tribunal. The defendant was convicted in the nominal penalty of is. and costs ; and similar convictions took place upon two other summonses for cabs belonging to the same propietor. Mr. D'Eyncourt was on the bench, and it was under stood that he concurred in opinion with his brother magistrate. Mr. G. Simpson, surgeon and registrar of deaths for the district in question, stated that he resided at 6, Bedford-street, Bedford-square. He saw mutes at the defendant's door one day in August last, and in a few days afterwards, called to ascertain who had died there, with a view of registering the death. The defendant said it was his wife. Witness had previ ously seen the certificate of death given by the medical man who had attended her, and who described her as "Mrs. W. Avis, aged 35." Witness asked the de fendant if she was his wife, and he replied, "Yes," and when the' form of register was handed to him to fill up he entered her name as such immediately. A few days since a man, who represented himself as bein g the hus band of thedeceased, called upon witness, and requested to see the register of "Mrs. Tees." He said that his own name was Tees, and that the deceased was his wife; but she had for some time past lived with the defendant as Mrs. Avis. He stated that since 'her death, Mr. Avis had sought to take possession of some of her pro perty, which,' legally speaking, belonged to him ; and, consequently, he had instructed his solicitor to take pro ceedings against him. . William Thomas Tees then gave the following evi dence—Witness was a tailor, living in Great Earl:street, St. Giles's, and was married to the deceased (who had lately passed as Mrs. Avis) at St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, in 1836, by public banns. The defendant was present at the marriage, and signed the register, being a friend of the bride. In 1840 witness agreed to separate from his wife, and two or three years afterwards she went to live with Mr. Avis. From this time she passed as Mrs. Avis, except among witness's friends, with whom she still passed a s M rs . T ees. B ot h the defendant and de (leased contin ue d t o b e f r i en dl y w i t h w i tness, and his Arife occasionally visited him up to within six months of her death. ' After her death Mr. Avis, made a grapple at her goods, which he (witness) considered belonged to him, as he was her lawful husband. Mr. Henry—The only thing that induced you to stir in this matter, then, was your wif e ' s goo d s ? Witness—Exactly so : Mr. Avis has no right to them. Cross-examined by Mr. Duncombe, the defendant's solicitor—l know a woman named Rebecca Phillips very well, and cohabited with her before I separated from my wife. My wife did not approve of it, because she saw that I was. " inveigled' into the connexion. I admit that I married Rebecca Phillips in 1844. I knew that she was married to another man, and she knew th a t I ' was married to anoth er woman • but her friends w i s h e d it, so we were marr i e d . I knew it was not right ac cording to law. I had lived with her three years before. I also know Polly Thomas. I will swear that I never married Polly too ; I. never contributed more than 51. or 101. towards my wife's support after we separated, although I knew she was badly off. In reply to Mr. Henry, Mr. Jarman, who prosecuted on behalf of the Trea sury solicitor, stated that he was not aware of the cir cumstances thus disclosed. Mr. Duncombe was con tending that his client, who had taken Mrs. Tees into a respectable home, to live in a respectable way, had only acted with a view to save her memory from shame ; and that he thought that the second marriage of Tees annulled his first, when Mr. Henry suggested that the case should stand over a week. The conduct of Tees was no justification for that of Avis ; but a person in his position of life might have acted in ignorance under all the circumstances. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned. CLERKENWELL.—EIIen Blainey, a smart young woman, was charged with having set fire to the dwel ling-house of Mr. James Cazaly, of No. 3, Derby-street, King's-cross. Mi.. Wakeling, who prosecuted, stated, that his client held a responsible situation at Messrs. Rucker and Com pany's, colonial agents, 12, Great Tower-street. The prisoner, with anotller female had lodged in his house, but being of filth y h a bi ts, and making a practice of going about almost in a state of nudity, he gave them notice to quit ; but they obstinately persisted in remaining on the premises, from which much valuable property had b een abstracted, and the accused being charged with the theft she became abusive, and committed a gross assault, for which she was brought to this court. and held to bail to receive judgment on a future day, under a promise to leave her apartments within a week, and to afford every facility to trace the missing property. On the previous afternoon, Mr. Cazaly's servant was in the kit c h en , when she w as a tt racte d by a smell of fire and smoke, and on proceeding t owar d s the kitchen, she saw the prisoner running up-stairs, in a hurried and confused manner, and almost instantly afterwards the lower part of the dwelling -house was in a blaze, which spread with rapidity over the whole premises destroying property of great value. Engines were quickly on the spot, and by the efforts of the fire brigade the adjoining buildings were preserved. Suspicion immediately fell upon the prisoner, who was given into the custody of police-constable Ruske, No. 40, of the E division. Several witnesses were examined, and their evidence went to show that a quantity of straw had been placed under the stairs of the kitchen, and that it had been wil fully set fire to. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after a patient investigation, remanded the prisoner, refusing to take bail. LAMBETH.—SamueI Cooper, a saddler and harness maker, and Sophia Ann, his wife, were placed at the bar on a charge of stealing 304 sovereigns and a silver hunt ing watch, the property of Mrs. Harriet Ann Clark, an aged lady, lodging at No. 3, Hill-street, Walworth. Some weeks ago the prosecutrix, who had been for merly housekeeper, to Mr. Peto, a medical gentleman, who, at his decease, left her all his property, was at tacked with a malignant fever, and engaged the female prisoner to attend on her as nurse. The opportunity thus afforded the latter of getting into the good graces of her patient, she turned to such a good account, that prosecutrix not only talked of leaving her the whole of her property, but actually made a will in her favour. Soon after the prisoner managed to get the stays gene rally worn by Mrs. Clarke, in which there was sewn up, in different compartments, 420 sovereigns, a certificate for 1001., vested in the Three per Cent. Consols, and a savings bank book for 201. These • stays she wore for sevciel days, and when apprehended by Serjeant Quin .near 1 P, ehe acknowledged that such was the weight of the stays with its golden stuffing, that it made her quite ill. Mrs. Clarke having partially recovered, de manded the restoration of her stays, and on that day (Saturday) week, the stays were restored, and the whole of their eontents, as alleged by the prisoners, were also handed to her. The prosecutrix, believing that the female prisonei had only disturbed one of the com partments of the stays, acknowledged' that all was right, and lent thirty sovereigns to the male pri soner. On subsequently examining the stays, it was found that all the gold was gone, and that all the female prisoner returned was 116 sovereigns. The prosecutrix subsequently gave information of the rob bery to, the police, and the prisoners were apprehended. On the. male prisoner there were found twenty-three sovereigns and a silver hunting-watch belonging to the prosecutrix, and which he was also charged with steal ing. The prosecutrix being so ill as not to be able to attend, the prisoners were remanded. THAMES.—SamueI Morley, aged, 27, a stout ath letic fellow, and who was described as a stonemason, was charged with burglary, and also with cutting and wounding William Brooks, police constable, 364 K. WORSHIP- STREET. —Samuel Staller , a journ e y man butcher, was ch arge d, i n conjunction with a man named George litation, with having carried on a long continued system of plunder at the premises of the first named prisoner's master, Mr. Philip Sharpe, a carcass butcher in Portugal-place, Bethnal-green. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner Stoller had lieen in his service as foreman for the last five years, and besides a liberal amount of weekly wages he was allowed as perquisites the proceeds derived from the blood of all the cattle that were slaughtered on the premises. He / had been in the habit for some years of disposing of the blood to the other prisoner, who was accustomed to call twice a week to convey it away in casks, which he brought with him for that purpose. For a considerable time past, however, the suspicions of witness had been excited against both the prisoners, in consequence of the serious diminution which was constantly taking place in the stock of meat in his shop beyond the amount of his average sales, and feeling satisfied from further observa tion that they were acting together to plunder him by wholesale, and carry off their booty, under cover of their private traffic, he resolved to keep a sharp look out on the occasion of Matton's next visit, and concealed himself on the preceding morning, with that object, in a 'mall apartment, which commanded a view of the shop. Ho had only been there a few minutes when the prisoner Staller made his appearance, and, after cautiously glancing round to ascertain that he was not observed, hastily detached two shoulders of mutton from the hooks to which they were suspended, and instantly made off with them in the direction of the slaughter hems°. After a short interval witness followed him there, and found him with the other prisoner, who exhibited the utmost confusion and trepidation at his sudden appearance, but quickly recovered himself, and, on being questioned, coolly answered that he had merely called for some blood, which he had just der,osited in his tub. Feeling convinced that his statement was a gross fabri cation, as there was no blood to be found that morning about the premises, witness at once looked into the cask, at the bottom of which he Was astonished at observing a quantity of meat, for which he was utterly at a loss to account, as there was no apparent apperture besides the bung-hole to 'allow of its admission. On examining the head of the cask, however, he discovered that it was ingeniously furnished with a moveable cover, on raising which he found inside, not only the two shoulders of mutton which the prisoner, Staller, had taken out of the shop, but a joint of beef and a hand of pork, which had been purloined from other parts of his premises. Mr. Pelham, who appeared, on behalf of the prisoner Matton, submitted that there was not sufficient evidence i to to ,inplicate his client in tl ie ro bb ery, b ut sc fr,r theM .

Mr. Ingham directed the constable to be seated, and he then deposed, that on the morning of Saturday, the 20th of November, at half-past two o'clock, as he was passing the Piggot Arms public-house, in the East India-road, Poplar,- he found the side door ajar. It led into a yard at the back. He pushed the door open, and laid hold of the prisoner by the collar, and was imme diately struck by him. A struggle ensued, and he sprang his, rattle, on which another man emerged from the house; ran past them; and made his escape. He struggled with the prisoner, and they were up and down several times. At last the prisoner struck him a tremendous blow on the top of the head with a life preserver; it laid bare his skull. He staggered, but 'kept fast hold of the prisoner, who followed up the blow by others. He was struck four or five times over the head with the same in strument, and also - upon the face. He fell against the wall, and upon recovering himself, caught the prisoner by the waistcoat. The prisoner struck him again, and dragged himself away, leaving part of his waistcoat behind him. Witness dropped a portion of the waist coat, and pursued the prisoner, and called out " Stop thief." He was bleeding very much at the time, and soon became exhausted. The prisoner was stopped by another constable, and soon afterwards he returned to the yard of the public-house, where part of the prisoner's waistcoat, and his hat 'and handkerchief, were found. The'prisoner said they were his. In answer to a question by Mr. Ingham, Brooks said he was confined to his bed for eight days, an d was s till under medical treatment. Evidence was then given that an attempt had been made to enter the public-house. The window-shutters of the tap-room had been wrenched open, and there was a mark, as if made with an iron -bar, between the two shutters. Inspector Holmes, of the.

THE VALUE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON'S LlFE.—Very re cently proposals for a very large amount of assurance on the life of Napoleon 111., and on terms in advance of those charged for ordinary lives, have been made to some cif the London Assurance Companies. We are informed that none of the proposals have been entertained, not withstanding the friends of the Emperor, strangely enough, offered rates only charged in cases where the lives of parties are diseased, and whose longevity cannot, hi eenSecounce, reach the ordinary period of a healthy human existence, which circumstance would seem to in dicate that they, at least, are apprehensive that the life of their friend is but of small pecuniary value ; whether from defective health, the pursuits of the Prince, or from the pregnant danger and cares of thenfatlyew-founded Empire, it is not easy to determine. London Assurance offices have declined to assure the life of Napoleon the Third, even at exorbitant rates, only charged for dying men, is strangely significant of the small commercial value of the Emperor's life. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—The Rev. Mr. Howson, fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge, who was thrown from his horse on Tuesday evening, died that same night, in less than twelve hours from th e accident. He was only Art 27 yearn-of we,- - - THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1852. FRANCE. An Imperial decree dated 2d inst., declares the present extraordinary sitting of the Legislative corps closed. The same decree convokes the Legis lative Chamber for the 14th February, 1853. A SWISS TRAGEDY. A good deal of excitement has been caused in Switzer land by a very strange affair. The only passage of com munication between the Haut-Valais and the upper part of the valley of Hassle, in the canton of Berne, is called Le Grimsel, and is a sort of caravansary, the keeper of which is bound to afford accommodation to poor tra vellers in return for certain advantages. The keeper of this place has for some time past, been a person named Zybach, the father of a large family, noted for his obliging and cordial character, and greatly liked by all who knew or had communications with him. In the evening of the 6th alt., this M. Zybach, went to the town of Mayringen, and he created some surprise by stating, in a public-house, fears that his hotel was on fire, as he perceived the reflection of flames at a distance in the sky. The next morning news arrived that the hotel had Veen burned down in the course of the night. Zybach, accompanied by the sub-prefect, Mayrin gen, his personal friend, immediately set out for Le Grimsel, On their arrival they found the hotel in ruins, and the inhabitants of the adjacent village of Guttanen busily engaged in searching for the body of a peasant supposed to have perished. On his way to the Grimsel, Zybach had loudly lamented the misfortune which had befallen him, and when he saw the ruins he seemed overwhelmed with despair. But it turned out that the villagers of Guttanen, in trying to extinguish the flames, had found in a heap of dung seve ral boxes containing wines and liquors, in a barn some distance, seventy mattresses carefully wrapped up, and secreted in different places, a number of boxes and trunks containing all his property of value. This dis covery was a clear proof that the fire had been wilfully caused ; and when the sub-prefect was told of it, and shown the different articles, he turned to Zybach and said, " You are a wretch ! You are ruined !" Zybach seemed distracted—he hurried to a lake at some dis tance and leaped in. But he was rescued, and sent, safely bound to the gaol at Mayringen. His son, and three of his servants were also arrested. It was then discovered .that he had insured all his effects for much beyond their value ; and it ap peared that hi s reason oilabcfnul a zde ay l ttabeha otdahti that calculation afternoon s au for selecting the night of the 6th f or the fire was, that from the wind blowingphimarrest laadpe oecs,as p of f c liaru sn ow w direction, oud t a k h e e heavy in fall a accessl c h to a whichthee har h gx o ev t a e i m d w i s o ca p u d a d p to bi lyt og rendered impossible, a calculation which was disaupointed. The to grave accusations against him. He, his son, and ser vants, are supposed to have formed a band of murderers and robbers, and to have made people who have stopped at their hotel their victims. Two years ago three Frenchmen, travelling in the Bernese Oberland, mys teriously disappeared, and not the slightest trace has since been found of them. The last place at which they stopped was at Zybach's hotel, and he declared that after sleeping there during the night they had gone in the morning towards La Furca. Some years back three travellers from Frankfort disappeared in the same strange way after being last seen near the Grimsel. It has been called to mind that Prince of Denmark, a long time ago, lost a very valuable diamond pin in the hotel ; that Zybach denied having found it ; but that some time after one of his daughters had been seen wear *. it ; and that, in consequence of the remarks made on this by his neighbours, he had been obliged to send it to its royal owner. Ia short, the kind, excellent, and universally respected M. Zybach is strongly believed to have been a criminal of the blackest dye ; and it is said that abundant proofs of his guilt will be forthcoming in due time. It is added that some revelations have al ready been made which tend to convict him of the mu r . der of the three German travellers. Since he has been in custody, he has several times attempted to commit suicide. He is possessed of considerable property. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.—During the week (says a correspondent) much excitement has prevailed hi De vonshire in consequence of an elopement, which is of a somewhat romantic nature, It appears that Miss Carew, daughter of Mr, Carew, of Ayshford, Sidmouth, on the south coast of Devon, was spending the day with the lady of Capt a i n El phinstone, a t Livonia, tinaecom panied by any 'a her family—when in the evening the gentlemen of the house b e ing, yet in the dining-room, Mr. Robert Peet Floyd rushed in at the window of the room where the ladies were, with a pistol, ordered Miss Carew to follow him, and threatened to shoot the first person who opposed him. Miss Carew ) asking for time in vain, under the terror of the instant, Unfartunately complied, and left with Mr. Floyd in a fly, which he had in waiting. It wits not until near eight o'clock that these particulars were communicated by Mrs. Elphin , stone in a note. Mr. Carew was then obliged to trace from other sources the • road the fly had taken. He then followed it to Exeter, in the hope of protecting and inducing his daughter to return to her home ; but having, with the aid of the police, traced her to the station, he found that she had been taken on to London by the nine o'clock train. The young lady being of age, all further pursuit or inquiry was at once was given up as useless. It• seems that Miss Carew will be en titled, at the death of her parents, to considerable pro perty. She has ever be en treated by her family with unbounded kindness and indulgence which makes the circumstance more to be deplored. The gentleman is a son of Sir H. Floyd, and is unde rs t oo d t o b e w h o ll y . • • without fortune. The fugitive couple were married,the next day, it is JtepOrted. j; I GERMANY. The report that Prince Pucklcr-Mrskau had be come a convert to the Catholic Church has pro duced the following letter to theAllgemeineZeitung, from the illustrious tourist : "In the early part of the present year I read in a newspaper, and was really affected by the news, that Prince Puckler-Muskau had expired at his château Branitz. To-day, on the contrary, I learn from two journals that the Prince has gone over to the Catholic Church—a fact, however, that other papers are disposed to doubt. To prevent errors, I hereby offi cially inform my numerous relations, friends, and acquaintances, that in reality circumstances have not yet allowed me, Prince Puckler-Muskau, either to die or to become Catholic ; I by no means deny that both eventu alities, according to the estimate of different human opi nions, may have their advantageous sides ; only, as it appears to me, they must necessarily occur in the re versed order. "HERRMANN PUMMEL" BELGIUM. The Senate has unanimously, and without dis cussion, adopted the project of law on the conver- F , ion 'of the Five per Cents. The Belgian Moniteur publishes the articles of the law. The following extracts are of importance to the fundholders Proprietors of the Five per Cent. Bonds can ob tain their conversion at par into Four-and-a-Half per Cents. The present interest of 5 per cent. will be maintained until the Ist of May, 1853, and will be enjoyed up to that time by those who shall not have demanded the reimbursement of their scrip. _ _ All proprietors who do not demand the reim bursement within 15 days, commencing from a day to be fixed by Royal decree, will be considered as having accepted the conversion. The Government is authorised to effect the con versions at London and Paris. The exercise of the right of reimbursement of the New Four-and-a-half per Cents. is suspended for eight years, dating from the Ist of May, 1853. The decree of King Leopold, dated the Ist of December, then follows. MINING INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Mining Journal of Saturday.) MINES. —The business done this week is satisfactory, although not to a very large extent, which may be ac counted for by the furor there has beet' for all the gold mining speculations. The British Mining Market has felt this, which accounts for our having no impor tant dealings to announce. Tincroft has advanced to 121., buyers ; Wheal Golden has been done atr 4/. 10s. to V. 12s. 6d. ; Balnoon, at 8/. ; Great Wheal Alfred, at 421. 10s. ; Round Hill at 2/. ss. ; and West Phoenix at 201. Alfred Consols, Bedford United, Devon Great Consols, Great Polgooth, Par Consols, South Tamar, West Providence, Trelawny, and Tremayne maintain their prices. Boscean, Bosom, Cwm Darren, Hawke's Point, Prince Albert, Rocks and Treverbyn, and South of Scotland, are at lower rates ; and, while the dealings have ranged over a number of the smaller mines, the transactions have not been to any considerable amount. In Cornwall, Wheal Buller have been sold at 8081. ; Basset, 525/. ; Gramblyn and St. Aubyn, 241. ; South Tolgus, 1924/. ; Wheat Reeth, 50/. ; Wheal Friendly, 10/. In the Metal Market,—There are no sellers of English Tin, except at an advanced rate.—Plates are in extra ordinary demand, and must rule higher. Copper is firm and in great request, and the smelters shy of executing orders to any extent.—Lead is 201. per ton, and few sellers at the price.—Spelter is 191. 10s., and a fair business doing.—lron continues advancing ; Rails full ss. higher ; Scotch Pig up to 31. ss. and 31. 7s. 6d. The Anglesea Coal Company declared a dividend of 2s. per share - -=2OOl. ; and the Rhymney Iron 6s. on the old. The sale of copper ore at Thursday's Ticketing was 4,432 tons, amounting to 24,305/. 13s. 6d., the average produce and standard being 6,1561. ss. The corres ponding sale last month was 3,063 tons, produce 6if, 1331. 65., showing an advance of about U. per ton. Newtonards, Trelawny, East Tamar, South Tamar, and Boringdoon Consols, have sold lead ores during the wcek. Birch Tor, Lewis, South Speed, Boscean, Polberon, Wheal Friendship, and Charlestown, have sold black tin. RAILWAY RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. INSURANCE COMPANIES.

The plaintiff paid for a ticket in Paris on the 25th ult. to be taken direct to London. He started by the grand vitesse train, which ought to have arrived at Calais by 10 p.m. The train, however, was an hour and a half late, in consequence of which the tide was out and the boat could not leave Calais until between eight and nine o'clock. It arrived at Dover about eleven, but before the plaintiff could get his luggage cleared the twelve o'clock train had started. He then applied to the officers of the company to allow him to go on by the two or five o'clock train, but as there were only first-class carriages by these trains, and he had a second-class ticket, they refused to take him unless he paid the difference, and travelled first-class. This course he was obliged to pursue, and now claimed damages for the delay. It appeared that the French train papers were arranged so as to correspond with the English papers, and there was an arrangement between the English and French railways to carry passengers throughout, at particular hours, for one fare. Mr. Clive said he could not enter into the question of delay on the French side, although he did not think it fair to dis tinguish the acts of one company from those of the other ; but, at all events, the South-Eastern Company were, in his opinion, liable for refusing to carry the plaintiff for second-class fare when he reached the Dover station ; consequently he should give judgment for the plaintif.—Damages, 6/.los.
