Mr. Roza', upon this case being called on, stated that some communications had taken place between the par ties, but no arrangement bad been come to. Under these circumstances he had to ask that the case might stand over to Friday week, which would be the lunatic petition day. His LORDSHIP assented to the application. COMPERTZ V. GOMPERTZ. This case came before the Court upon an appeal from the decision of the present Vice-Chancellor of England. The question in the case was whether under the will of Solomon Baron Gompertz, made in 1796, his children, who share under the residuary, took them for life or ' absolutely. It appeared that the testator at his death had ten children, five sons and five daughters, and by his will, after dispcsing of part of his pro perty, he gave the residue to his children, the sons to take two parts each, and the daughters one. The terms in which the residue was given, were " to her children for life, and after their death to become to their lawful issue. One of the daughters of the testator, named Sarah, married a gentleman named Hollinden, and died without children, and then the question was raised whether her husband, as her represeetative, was entitlfd to her part of the residue. A suit IN es instituted for the purpose or having that question settled, and upon its being heard before the Vice• Chancellor of England, his Honour decided that the share of Sarah Hollinden remained undisposed of, and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. Mr. Walker and Mr. Twells appeared in support of the decree of :he Court below, and - Mr. James Parker and Mr. Speed were counsel for the appellant, Mr. Hollinden. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the ar guments, gave judgment, affirming the eeeision of the Court below, and directing the costs to be costs in the cause. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 10. ROIIINSON V. WALL. The arguments in this cause were resumed by the Counsel for the defendants, Messrs., Turner, Roupel, and Rogers. They occupied the whole day, and bad not concluded at the rising of the Court at three o'clock. VICE• CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 10. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took demurrers, and further directions to-day. KIRKE V. THE BROMLEY UNION GUARDIANS. The arguments on this part-heard case, which came before the Court upon a demurrer, were resumed and concluded to-day. The Court ordered the demurrer to be overruled. LEWIS AND OTHERS V. COOPER AND OTHERS. This case came before the Court upon a demurrer put in by the defendants to the plaintiffs' bill. The plaintiffs are some of the shareholders of a railway that was projected last year, to be called the South and Midland Railway Company, and the defendants were some of the directors of that company. The scheme having been abandoned the shareholders filed their bill for the purpose of ob taining an injunction to restrain the defendants from taking out of Court the money that bad been paid in under the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Upon a motion for that purpose, the Vice-Chancellor of Eng land granted an injunction, which was dissolved upon an application to the Lord Chancellor. The present bill alleged that the directors had received 99,0001., that out of that they bad paid certain expenses, together with 55,0001., which they had paid into Court, and that amount the bill asked the Court to order to be divided amongst the shareholders. To this bill the directors put a de murrer for want of parties. His llowoua, without calling upon the counsel who appeared for the plaintiffs, ordered the demurrer to be overruled. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY V. DIMES. The arguments in this case occupied the Court the remainder of the day. (Before Sir J. Wicasm.) IN RE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. His HONOUR said he considered with respect to the petition in this matter, which had been presented yes terday, that the trustees had sufficient powers, and con sequently that the Court had no right to interfere in the case. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) MORRIS V. MORRIS. Mr. RooEns, on the part of the defendant, put in an answer to the original motion in this matter. The Learned Counsel stated, that by that answer the defend ant threw himself on the mercy of the• Court, setting forth that he was too poor to adopt the necessary steps before. It appeared further that an application had been made to the Court in Ireland, and proceedings understood in that country as writs of eject ment had been executed. The application to the Chan cery Court in Ireland had been unsuccessful, the Court refusing to interfere till after the settlement of the ori ginal motion which was pending before the Court. His HONOUR, after hearing the arguments, said—With out giving any opinion whatever as to whether the notice of the defendant in this matter was or was not correct, or deciding whether he had made sufficient apology for the delay that he had been guilty of, he nevertheless considered this motion too late. With regard to the original motion he thought it more espe• cialiy belonged to the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and would, therefore, order it to stand over for the present. - TAYLOR V. COOPER The object of the plaiiitifiintiii;;;;e was to enforce the condition of a will of Wiliam Cooper, who bequeathed to the plaintiff and to William Co )per, the defendant, freehold house property in Fleur-de-lis-court, as well as four leasehold houses situate in Tichbourne-str. upon t - tut, with directions to pay he!rents accruing to his widow for lite. After her death the testator devis:ll the freehoki houses to William Cooper absolutely. Ile also have the leasehold houses to William Coo l er, o n condition t f his granting a lease of the Louses in Tichbourne-street f , ,r the remainder of ti.e testator's interest to George Taylor, at a rent of 5/. per annum. Taylor died in the lifetime of the widow, and his executor claimed the lease, which was refused, this refusal being juZitied on the ground that in the will the object of the testator was purely to confer a benefit on Taylor himself, and not his estate. After hearing the arguments, his HoNoun said, he considered' that Mrs. Taylor's executor was fairly en titled to the under lease which she claimed. However be did not think he would be justified in giving costs on either, as the question at issua was one of that nature which might be equitably raised. The Court rose at the usual hour. COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 10. CONSPIRACY-THE QUEEN V. GOBIPERTZ AND OTHERS. Mr. HILL, Q.C., resumed his address this morning. lie first addressed himself to the question of the admis sability, in legal cases, of unstamped documtnts ; and quoted the case of Buckstone v. Carlisle, 12th Mason and Wellerby, p. 226, in support of his argument, that the use of unstamped documents at the trial rendered the finding of the jury invalid. In the case referred to, which was an action for work and labour, the onus of proof lay in an agreement which was not admitted in evidence in consequence of its being unstamped, and therefore the case of the plaintiff fell to the ground. After briefly glancing at the law relating to stamped docu ments, and contending that a document which was pre pared without a stamp, but which ought in law to bear a stamp, was not only invalid but inadmissable in a court of law ; he proceeded to review the counts of the indictment, which, he held, were bad, and not proved by the evi dence adduced at the trial. The third count divided itself into two branches—first, that the defendants got possession of the bills; and, secondly, that their object was to defraud Captain Rose of the proceeds of them. Now, Gompertz brought the stamps to Captain Rose, who signed them, and they were taken away by G orn pertz. They never were in Captain Rose's possession; they never belonged to him at any time and in any way, whereas the count set forth that the bills had been takes improperly from him, they having been in his legal posssssion at the time, and that the act was fraudulent, and therefore was untenable. He could not, for in stance, maintain en action for trespas , . If the stamps had belonged to him, and the whole of the documents being in his possession, he had handed them over as some fraudulent statement, then such an action might lie. That Captain Rose was never to have any of the proceeds of the bills, and once for all, he might state that he never parted with a single penny of his money ; that it was well known to all the parties that he had no money to part with ; that he had no property whatever ; that he had even sold the rever sion of his father's estate, in order to pay certain debts, and he had indicted the defendants for conspiring to cheat him out of money, whereas 17,0004 found its way into his pocket out of these transactsons, and not even a halfpenny was taken from bim—thus sufficiently dis tinguishing the case, he thought, from all that had oc curred, and all fi at might occur, it was certainly not a conspiracy to defraud Captain Rose out of anything, but into something, and the parties who were to be cheated, if any such intention existed, were those who ad vanced money on the ' bills drawn by Captain Rose. The The count was not proved f or s i m il ar reasons. The sth specified the cons pi racy to have consisted in cheating Captain Rose out of his money, which was clearly a misconception, because all the world knew that Captain Rose had no money, and that the whole transaction was not entered into with the view of obtaining money f rom hi m , b ut f or t h e purpose of raising money on his acceptances. The seventh and eighth counts were equally invalid on similar grounds, and, therefore, he would not trouble the court with any arguments upon them. The sixth count was in this form :—The conspiracy was alleged to have been con cocted for the purpose of defrauding Captait! Rosa of divers large sums of money, which were his proper moneys, and then an overt act was charged, namely, that they did then and there defraud Captain Rose of billsof exchange, and of the proceeds thereof prospectively. Could anything be more vague—anything more general? A man of property might be induced to marry a pauper, on the strength of lacing told that she pos sessed great wealth, or a woman of ill-fame, on a similar statement. In either of these cases, according to the doctrine advanced in this , would an indictment lie? He apprehended not. The ground on which Mr. Peacock obtained a rule from the Court for a new trial was, that the jury found the defendants guilty of six conspiracies. In the great case of " O'Connell v. the Queen,' it was held that a general judgment referred in some respect to the whole of the indictment, but that if there was one bad count, that the judgment could not be maintained. So, he apprehended, it must be held in this case. In fact the Court had the power to inflict six separate punish ments on each finding ; nay, more, it would become a question whether the Court would discharge its duty properly if it forbore to inflict such separate punish ments. On these grounds 'he held that the Court must accede to a new trial. Mr. PEACOCK followed on the same side. lie reiterated the arguments of Mr. Hill, that an unstamped document was inadmissible, and voted a number of cases in which unstamped docu ments wese so held. The only cases in which such documents could be admitted in evidence were those criminal cases in which the fraud and conspiracy charged consisted in forged unstamped documents, which were necessary to prove the offence charged. The third count set forth that the defendants conspired to get the bills from Rose on the statement that a person named Parker, then staying at Hatchett's Hotel, would advance 55,0001. on them, and that Gompertz was to receive 12,500/. of the amount for his trouble. Now, the evidence of Rose himself went to show that he was per fectly insolvent at the time he signed the bills, and ot h er evidence add uce d s h owe d t h at the bills were signed by Rose for th e accommo d at i on o f G ompertz; t h at the bills were never in the possession of Rose ; that they were not his property ; that he received the warrant of attorney from Gompertz as security for drawing the bills ; and that his condition forbade the inference that he could be defrauded of their amounts. In fact, if there was any conspiracy to defraud at ail, it must have been a conspiracy to defraud those who advanced money upon the bills. By the very agreement amongst the whole of the parties Captain Rose was not to receive any of the produce of the bills, and up to this time he had not ever paid the bills. He dealt with the 4th, srh, 6th, and Bth counts, and held that :hey were invalid f or th e reasons he had stated. He then referred to the six separate findings of the jury, and held that they were bad, inas much as they rendered the parties six times punishable for v hat was lirtualty the same charge. On these grounds he held that the Court must accede to a new who appeared ith Mr. C ow li ng Mr. WATS ON , Q - C ., for Mr. Robert Witham, one of the defendants, t hen proceeded t o a dd ress the Coart. He said he was in structed to sly, on behalf of his client, who was the youngest son of Mr. William Witham, that he was wholly innocent of the crime brought to his charge, and that his conviction must have arisen out of some misconception on the part of the jury who tried him, and that his conviction could only have arisen out of some of those circumstances which generally weighed in the minds of a jury called upon to try an indictment of conspiracy. Mr. Francis Witham died before the indictment was brought before a court of justice, so that, whether he was guilty, or whether he had been made a dupe of, or not, were questions which it was unnecessary now to determine. His client was 19 years of age at the time, and when the indictment was instituted against him he had only been two years in his father's office. His father and grandfather had occupied a high position as solicitors, and had carried oh business in the same office, in Gray's-inn-square, since 1J72. Captaia Rose was an outcast from his family, au outlaw, and in great pecuniary difficulties, his only means :of subsistence being half-pay, and 200/., which was allowed him by his friends, and the reversionary interest of 8,0002, to which, after all, he had no claim whatever, as his father had advanced the money upon it. Captain Rose, it appeared, had been a candidate to represent the borough of Poole in Parlia ment, and in order to pay the expenses of the contest a Mr. Slade lent him 1,0001., but as he could not get it back again he instructed Mr. Parr, his solicitor, to pro ceed to London in order to obtain its repayment from Captain Rose. Being thus pressed, and being anxious to get tid of the importunities of Mr. Parr, he and G ompertz, on the 25th of Avgust, during the long vacation of 1841, attended at the office of Messrs. Witham, and in duced Mr. Robert Witham, who was the only person there, and he had nothing whatever to do with the ma nagement of the firm, to write a letter to Mr. Parr, stating, in the name of the firm, that they had every reason to believe that the bills of Captain Rose, for 30,0001, would be duly paid by Parker. There could be no question that this letter was obtained for the express purpose of satisfying Mr. Parr, and was obtained from a young man of 19, who was not entrusted with any voice in the management of the firm, by Rose and Gornpertz, both of whom were experienced men of the world. This was the only evidence against Robert Witham. Rose, however, stated at the trial that the letter was written without any pressing request on his part, or on the part of Gompertz. On the very day the letter was exhibited to Mr. Parr, and an order given to him or Messrs. Witham for 1,0001 Shortly after, Parr, at a meeting at the Carlton Club, he having received a letter from Mr. Witham sen., saying that Parker was not his client, and that he did not know him, stated that he be lieved the matter was all humbug, and that they had only misled him. _ _ Lord DENMAN said the worst part of the matter was that the Withams acted as the attorneys of Rose and Gompertz, and that a solicitor named Smith acted for the imaginary Mr. Parker, thus favouring the assump tion that they did not act for Parker because there was fraud in the transaction. Mr. WATSON went on to say, that notwithstanding the letter of Mr. Witham, sen., stating that Parker, who was to advance the motet' on the bills, was not his client, Rose, who knew of the circumstance, signed the bills shortly a ft er . Th en i t was stated by Mr. Parr that Mr. Robert Witham was at the meeting at the Carlton Club, whereas it appeared from his affidavits that he never was in the Carlton Club in his lifetime, and that the evidence given in the course of the trial was a mistake he was often taken for his brother, who is dead. Lord DEN➢IAN stated that the Court would look at the affidavits before hearing Mr. Watson further. BAIL COURT, "Nov 10. Sittings iu Banco, before Mr. Justice r ATTESON.) • THE QUEEN V. DUNN. The defendant in this case appeared to make an ap plication to the Court to change the venue in an indict went against him for perjury, from the city of London to the county of Middlesex. The Defendant stated that his Lordship would re m tuber that, in chambers, a writ of certiorari had been granted to remove the indictmer,t from the Central -Criminal Court to this Court, and he now sought to change the venue. The affidavit on which he moved stated ail the usual facts mentioned in such applications, excepting that he could not obtain a fair trial in the city of London, alth,uali there sere many difficulties in the way of it which did not exist in the county of Mid dlesex. The prosecutrix resided iii Middlesex. Sir F. TIIESIGER stated that the applicant had de scribed himself as living in Red Lion -square. Mr. DUNN—Did not reside there at present, and no advantage would, he felt eure, be taken of any such mis take. The prosecutrix resided in Middlesex, as did both her partners, who were also parties to the prosecution. The allegation in the indictment was, that he had at tempted to make the parties bankrupt, and although it was not a true allegation, it was calculated to create a very angry feeling amongst commercial men, because any such attempt must necessarily be considered a harsh, wanton, and improper proceeding. The proceeding he had adopted was to summon the parties as traders, and that summons would not make bankrupts of them. Com mercial men were peculiarly alive to any unhandsome proceeding against parties equally respectable, wealthy, and responsible, and though he had a good defence, which created a great prejudice against him in the city of London. As the parties resided in Middlesex, it was their own county where they must have all their natural influence. He sought to come into their county to be tried, and it would be a further convenience as all the witnesses resided there. There bad been certain proceedings adopted in the Old Bailey which were cal culated to create very great alarm in his mind as to the safety of carrying on the proceedings in the city of Lon don. When the case came on in Chambers, it was stated that there was only one witness examined to sup port the indictment. That was not enough, and, besides, since the indictment had been found, he had ascertained that a most material addition bad been made to it. They had placed on the back of the record the name of the foreman several weeks after the indictment had been found. That record had since been returned into the Crown office. That was the reason for his sup posing that he would not have as fair a trial in London as in Middlesex. He supposed that the parties were too respectable for a moment to think of shoving him into a corner by any unjust means. Mr. Justice ParrEsoN----What is the indictment for ? Mr. Duxes said it was for perjury; for swearing in the Bankruptcy Court that Miss Burdett Coutts was in debted to him in a certain sum. Mr. Justice PATTESON—WaS the affidavit made in London ? Mr. Dutor said that it was, but the parties were too respectable to adopt any course to make him un easy. He left it in the hands of his Lordship, as to whether or not it would be safer or better to have the case tried in Middlesex. He also moved for a special jury, but he believed that that was a matter of course. He did not wish to throw any im putation upon the City. He did not, of course, say that twelve honest men were not to be found in London, or, indeed, in any place ; but he thought that there were great difficulties in the way. Mr. Justice ParrEsoN---The indictment was taken out of the Central Criminal Court by writ of certiorari, and whenever any case is thus removed, if there are any difficulties about it, the place in which it is the practice to lay the venue is the county in which the cause in indictment ari ses . Th e p ro p er pl ac e in this caseoultd to is n London, and you must have a very strong s which you state as your reasons for apprehending anunfair remove it to another county. The grou nds are not strong enough. It is impossible of London wouldto u twelve gentlemen coming froml " the nfluenced. sy that trial allow themselves to be undu y and witnesses to aTh t is no reason at all, Mr. Justice PATTEOON..—ep M iddlesex. arties Mr. Duz•Tx hoped that his Lordship would gi ve hi m the l‘ ir. prosecution i)u N N sa id residedthatailni th taitritossrdesernffotrheasicnolv. of the bill, and the names an d a d- Mr. Justice PATTESON—No such thing has ever been done in my recollection. Mr. Dusx had sworn that the name of the foreman was placed on the back of the bill since the jury had been discharged and the sessions over. Sir le. THESIGER said that that fact was not stated in the affidavit Mr. DUNN had not entered into particulars. Mr. Justice PATTESON--All the facts must be dis.. tinctly set forth before the Court can take any cognisance of the matter at all. Mr. Dunn then withdrew. COURT OF EXCLIEQUER, Nov. 10. The Judges assembled this morning in the Exchequer Chambers to form a Court of Error, for arranging the days upon which errors should be taken. The Court adjourned till to-morrow. (Sittings in Banco.) . LISTON V. ST. HELEN'S RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. BAINES moved upon affidavits for a rule to set aside a nonsuit to which the plaintiffs was obliged to submit, in consequence of seven of the witnesses who were called up )n the trial not answering, although sub poenaed. The plaintiff was a clerk in the employ of the above named company, and sought to recover a sum of money for services rendered during a number of years to ae NORWICH. Nov. 9.—The town council met this day, of which forty Whigs and ten Tories were preient, fur the purpose of electing the Mayor, Sheriff, and other officers, for the year ensuing. The choice of Mayor fell upon our late Sheriff; Jeremiah Colman, - Esq., of New market-road, in this city, And also of that respected firm of J. and J.

POST-OFFIOE IVIONE V ORDERS TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: SlR,—Convinced it w ill be saving much disappoint ment and inconvenience when more generally known and correctly adopted, will you permit me through your columns to remind parties remitting by Post-office orders, the necessity of strictly regarding the regulation in respect to the " Christian and surname of those in whose favour the order is obtained." For want of this accuracy it not unfrequently happens that a money order (however small the sum) may have to be presented two or three times.—Your obedient servant, 121, Holborn-hill. Nov. 9. A. K. GIFFORD. THE CITY OF LONDON STOCK BROKER'S BOND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. see by a copy of " The Broker's Bond" in The Sun of yesterday, that the stockbroker is licensed by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London to be " a sworn broker in public stock, funds, shares, and other securities for money," and that by the bond on admiEsion as a broker he binds himself in the penalty of one thousand pounds to fulfil certain conditions therein named. If such bond can be enforced in a court of law it will be found to'be a great protection to the public in purchasing or selling "public stock, funds, shares and, other securities for money;" but as to the probability of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen recovering she penalty from Mr. Rochas, I leave you and your readers to judge, after having read the two following extracts. The first I shall take from the same paper wherein is the copy of " The Broker's Bond," viz., The Sun of yesterday's date, folio 3, column 4:- COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 5. (Sittings in Banco.) KNIGHT V. BARBER• This case was tried at Liverpool before Mr. Justice Cresswell, the plaintiff was nonsuited upon the ground that a certain document was not stamped, purporting to be an agreement between the parties for the pur chase and sale of certain railway scrip or shares. Mr. BAINES moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial granted; he contended that the contract did not require a stamp, inasmuch as it was an agreement for the sale of an article which he contended came under the head of merchandise, which, with goods and wares were specially exempted from the operation of the Stamp Act. The LORD CHIEF BARON stated it was his opinion that the documet in question should have been stamped, because it was impossible to suppose that scrip could be considered as merchandise. The sale of scrip was nothing more than an agreement made between himself and some company or companies ; it could not, there fore, be goods or merchandise, and not coming under the exception contained in the Stamp Act, ought, therefore, to have been stamped. Mr. Baron PARKE was of the same opinion. The rule for a new trial refused. Now observe, the Lord Chief Baton and Mr. Baron Parke both held that railway scrip was neither goods, wares, nor merchandise. The second extract I take from my common-place book, which itself was extracted from The Sun, December 16th, 1840: OLD BAILEY.-NEW COURT. TRIAL OF THOMAS PILGRIM FOR Fo RG ER Y.—A witness, who described himself as a stockbroker, was asked if he was a licensed broker. He replied, " No." . - Sir FREDERICK PoLLocn addressed the Court—There is no doubt in the profession that the stockbroker need not take out a license from the City, as the public funds are not goods, wares, or merchandise over which the City has any control. When we find Sir Frederick Pollock in open Court declaring the opinion of his profession generally to be that the Lord Mayor and Aldermen have only a right to grant brokers' licenses for the purpose of buying and selling goods, wares, and merchandise, an d th e L or d Chief - Baron and Mr. Baron Parke ruling that railway scrip is neither goods, wares, nor merchandise, where is the probability of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London recovering the penalty of one thousand pounds from Mr. Rochas on the • bond given by him on his admission as a stockbroker, he being licensed as a broker in public st ck, funds, shares, and other securities for money, over which Sir Frederick Pollock says the City has no control? By the report on Mr. Rochas' case we find one of the points on which the penalty of the bond is sought to be . recovered is, that Mr. R. allowed his son to act for him as broker without having been duly admitted; but I 6o not find that any prosecution of Mr. Rochas, jun., was ordered for acting as a stockbrolo,r, not being duly ad mitted and licensed by the Court of L.)rd Meyer and Aldermen of the City of London. How did this hap pen? If the City authorities have no power to prose cute Mr. Roch.ts, jun., how can they reasonably expect to recover the penalty under Mr. Roches, stn.'s bond, he having allowed his son to act as a broker in a way tho,e authorities have no power to forbid? In the ob,ervations I have made I have no wish or desire to be considered either as the apologist or advocate of the Messrs. Roches, and in point• ing out the probability of the failure of the City prosecution, I do so under the hope that the members of the Stock Exchange will ccme forward and assist the City authorities, in case of need, to procure Legislative sanction to the City bond and license, which have hitherto tended to place in public confidence and give respectability to the stockbroker of the city of London; and perhaps it would be desirable that a ge• neral measure should be adopted to license all share brokers in the kingdom. Why should they escape more than bankers or auctioneers? I am, Sir, yours, &c., Ilfracombe, Nov. 6th, 1846. D-N. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. request the favour of your attention to a Par pl a ie rn t o e n re t s a ry p o ß re e h t a u s r e n d ( f p o r r i n t tr i e d I N 7 a tl t i to o n fitl A aa g l u l e s r t y' • n I v 3 t 4 t 6 h , )t the sums paid for the same. Generally speaking, they appear to have been bought at very extravagant prices. , But let us take the last mentioned, No. 65, " Susanna and the Elders," out of Mr. Penrice's collection, for 1,2601. Now, Sir, I happened to be present at this sale by Messrs. Christie and Manson, on Saturday, July 6, 1844, when this identical picture was knocked down for the sum of 900 guineas to a gentleman of the name of Grimshaw. It is charged to us (the public) 1,2601. Will you, Sir, be so obliging as to inform us int o w h ose purse or pocket this little difference (3151.) between 900 guineas and 1,260/. has found its way? The preceding lot ("Lot and his Daughters") was purchased for the National Gallery at the sum specified in the Parlia mentary return—namely, 1,600 guineas—and a most splendid picture it is; as far superior to " Susanna and the Elders" as a sovereign to a shilling. Hoping you will be pleased to favour us with the ex planation requested, and tell us the circumstances which at present appear a little suspicious, I remain, Sir, YOUR CONSTANT READER. London, Nov. 10, 1846. ROBBING FROM THE TEMPLE LIBRARY.--On Saturday it was discovered that, the following audacious robbery was perpetrated in the library of the Middle Temple. About a week ago a person presented an order from the Queen's printer to the Rev. Mr. Rowlett, the librarian. for certain volumes of the statutes, which were given him ; but some suspicion being excited, an inquiry was set on foot, and it was ascertained that the order was a forgery ; and further, that a similar and equally successful forgery had been perpetrated upon the Inner Temple and the library of Bow-street Police-court. A correspondent strongly requests attention to a regulation on the South-Western Railway for closing the electric telegraph on Sundays, which may not on'y operate disastrously,• at it appears to have done in his own case, in personal matters, but also in cases where general interests are directly involved. The great use of the electric telegraph is to announce accidental events, which are just as likely to happen on a Sunday as on any other day ; and it is difficult, therefore, as the ne cessity in there instances is beyond control (a plea which cannot be urged in the majority of travelling ar rangements, for which the company make ample provi sion on Sundays), to recognise the motive for prohibit ing its employment. To the mercantile public the matter is of great interest, since there are instances in which the summoning of a partner to town in the case of the sudden death of one member of a firm, or, under other circumstances of emergency, might be the means of averting the stoppage of a house and the ruin of parties connected with it. The exposure of fradulent combinations of the most extensive kind may not un frequently depend upon similar means • and it will also be seen that individuals absconding with property may, by selecting Saturday night for their operations and the South-Western line for their route, rely on a start of several hours. Our correspondent suggests many strik ing instances in which the regulation might likewise, in the ordinary affairs of life, be productive of the most fatal results ; but we have only to do with the point as it bears upon commercial safety, and in this respect it is clearly of sufficient importance to call for immediate remark. ASTONISHING FEAT.--On Thursday evening a most extraordinary feat was performed by a man named Irvine. A rope was stretched from the lamp at Stone house-bridge to a pole on the opposite side, a distance of about 400 feet. The rope was about 80 feet from the water, and be engaged to walk across it, executing his task amidst the cheers of at least two thousand specta tors.—Falmouth Packet. We have to announce the serious indisposition of the Earl of Portsmouth. His recovery is exceedingly doubtful. The Noble Earl, it is well known, has long been subject to aberration of mind, Ills Lordship is at present at his country residence, Ilurstbourne Priory, Huts.
