AI! ERI CAN NEWS. THE UNITED STATES. FIVE DAYS LAT R. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. The - Montezuma, Captain Lowler, and the Marmion, Captain Edwards, have just arrived here with New York papers to the sth. The news is unimportant. The Oregon question was still under discussion. The commercial news is not portant. 07cIEVilnd COMMERCIAL NEWS, (From' The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very in animate, and, the business was decidedly in flavour of the buyers, although'not at a further decline than %d. per lb. on the rates of Friday last, The sales were 4,000 bales, includ ing SCO Ainerican, for export; 200 P,rnam and Maranham, :it 5 3 / 4 d. to 7d.; 50 Egyptian, at o.id to 8',4d.; and 50 Sea Islind, at 121 to 15d. per lb. Shares were again dull and uniug. it is • much to be regretted that our Contemporary, the Times, should continue the line of policy which it thought proper in the first instance to adopt of exciting alarm among the moneyed interests on account of calls upon railways, the plans for which are now under the ordeal of Parlia mentary strutiny. It ought not to be forgotten that the point taken up in the ".rcpt instance by the leading journal was,. that as much as from twenty-five to thirty millionS sterling would be locked up as deposits upon new railways projected in the course of last year. The fact turns out to be that from ten to twelve millions have thus been absorbed as yet, which was quietly drawn out of circulation, and lodged with the Accountant General, without any apparent pressure. This fact is admitted. But now, says our Contemporary, considering what mny happen hereafter, the calls upon shares that will pass Parliament " threaten a more formi dable evil, since they will not he confined to a few weeks, but will spread over years, as a continued drain on the monetary resources of the country." The fallacy of this hypotheSis has over and over again 'been demonstrated. It is notorious with those who usefully comment upon correct information, that the expenditure upon railways hitherto in this country has tended to improve the con- I dition of the labourer, and all other grades above him in connexion with railway extension. The millions o f money that have already been expended in the formation of railways were brought into operation, and without produc ing the slightest panic in the money market. Nineteen• twentieths of the existing lines are profitable invests ments, and how • a continuation of so good a system can damage the circulation, or impose difficulties in the way of conducting ether branches of industry or of commerce, is a point which we leave the journal referred to to prove to the satisfaction of well-informed men, who hold a directly contrary opinion. No fact can be more clearly demonstrated than that when new railways have been commenced the circulation of money is immediately extended, and doing betietfist only to the county through which each passes, bait also adding to the comforts of the lower classes. It may be true that the prices of the shares of existing lines have been unduly elevated, but this was the natural result of strict confidence in the endertaking, and not a little to be ascribed to the circumstance that a higher rate of interest was obtained for money advanced in their construction than that yielded by the Public Securities. Further accounts have come to hand this morning from the seat of war on the Sutlej, but only in the main confirmatory of those before obtained. There is every reason to hope that the missing steamer the Virago is safe. The Consul Market has been almost neglected this morn ing. For the Account the.current price is 96, and for money from 95 3 % to 96. Exchequer-bills have been taken at from 28s. to 255. premium this morning. Bank Stock for the account has fallen from 211 1 4 to 210. The Foreign Funds have not been dealt 'in much to-day. The chief changes are a fall in Russian Five per Cents. from 109 to 108. Spanish Five per Cents. for the Account have been offered at 2511 2 for the Account, and the Three per Cents. at 36 3 %. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 591 , and the Four per Cents. at 94 1 4. The Grenada One per Cent. Bonds have just been taken at 22.

The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. THE EARL OF HOPETOWN V. RAMSAY. The arguments in this appeal from the judgment of the Court of Session were commenced, and occupied their Lord ships the whole morning. COURT OF CHANCERY, March 26. The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn to day, and heard lunatic and cause petitions. ARCTI ER V. HUDSON—INJUNCTION. His LORDSHIP gave judgment to-day in this case, which a rgued before hi m about a week since, upon an appeal wag the decision of the Master of the Rolls. Upon the l yt hen stated them.

Dyce Sombre, to supersede the com mission of lunacy. Mr. NV aIEEFIELD, who appeared for the petitioner, stated that he felt that he could not properly occupy the time of the Court by opening the petition, as Mr. Dyes Sombre had not come within the jurisdiation of the Court, he would rather that the petition should be discussed, than proceed with it under such circumsrances. Mr. CALVERT trusted that the Court would dismiss the petition. The LORD CHANCELLOR declined to do so, considering the circumstances of the case; and after a short conversation, Mr WAKEFIF.ED obtained leave to amend the petition. The . LORD CHANCELLOR said an application had been made to him to hear a petition connected with the case in his private room. Looking at the circumstances of the case he had determined to hear nothing with respect to the lunacy in private. Ultimately it was arranged that the petition of the Committee of the estate to which his Lordship referred, and which related to certain jewels, should be heard the first to. morrow. IN THE MATTER OF THE rarnEss BARIATINSKI. This case came before the Court upon petition praying that certain jewellery belonging to the Princess, which was now deposited in the Bank of England in the name of the Ac countant-General of the Court of Chancery, might be re- moved to the office of Mr. Commissioner Barlow, for the convenience of inspection, in order to have a value put upon them by' competent judges previous to their sale, if such sale should be approved of by the officer of the. Court. Ilis-LonDsmr; after a short discussion, made the order. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, March 26. (Before dm VICE CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) Hislioxoun Wok motions and cause petitious to-day, none of which possessed any feature of interest. • ADMIRALTY COUR7', March 25. THE SARACEN. LUSHLNGTON gave .judgment in this case. It was a claim by the assignees of the bulk of the cargo of the ship Diligeat, to share rateably in the proceeds of the sale of the Severn, which vessel having caused damage to the other, her owners had been held liable. The Court, assisted by the Trinity Masters, had,' in a suit by the owners of the Diligent and of part of her cargo, pro nounced against the ship, and had condemned her owners in the:costs. On the very day of that decision and decree, an appearance had been given for the owners of the remaining bulk of the cargo, who claimed to share in the proceeds of the sale of the ship—proceeds insufficient to meet the de mands of the first claimants; and the question now was, whether, according to the law and practice of the Court, a party who had obtained a decree was bound to liquidate the demands of another party, whose claim was of the . . same nature as his own, not being a party to that decree, and commencing proceedings after that decree bad been issued. With reference to the analogy of other Courts, this claim was not dissimilar to the claims of creditors against an executor, 'and the rule of law in that case, as laid down by 31r.Williams, in his book on Executors, second-edi tion, was that the most active were entitled to the first consi deration of the Court, and those who first applied and first obtained judgment, were entitled to the liquidation of their claim before the liquidation of subsequent claimants. -If that ease were analogous to the present, the owners of the bulk of the cargo must fail in their prayer ; but was there any dis tinction between the two cases ? It had been said that in the previous decree of the Court, and on the security given by the previous claimants, a right was reserved to subsequent parties having a similar claim to come in and receive their share. The words used might extend to liens entitled to priority, but certainly not that parties who had originally made their claim and recovered their money should bring it back; and whether the parties had actually received their money or not, could not make any difference. There was nc ground for this claim within the four corners of that instru ment. The Court might perhaps call back the money, but it could not redistribute it. Equity could not compel this Court to do that which in an analogous case a court of equity would not do itself, and a court of equity would not grant a similar claim in the case of creditors, to which allu sion had already been made. Besides, this Court was rather a court of law than of equity. But what had been the prac tice of the Court There seemed to have been a sort of understanding that such a claim would be admitted by the court; but absolute proof of the practice was neces sary, a mere vague general understanding could not, be relied on, and of the practice itself there was no proof at all. But reference had been made to the 53d George 111., c. 159. By the 7th section, power was given to ship owners to file a bill in a court of equity, to compel parties having similar claims to come in, and share a rateable distri bution ; but this power was given for the benefit of ship owners, not for the benefit of co-claimants. Probably the Court might have exercised the equitable jurisdiction given by the 15th section previous to the decree; but as the power given by the Act was for the benefit and protection of the shipowners, the Court could not use it against them. The 6th section, too, saved the right to bring all actions in courts of competent jurisdiction, unless a bill of equity had been tiled, and here no bill had been filed; and so the parties who had arrested the ship stood in exactly the same position as before the statute. Why should he who was dili gent be compelled to surrender the fruits of his diligence to hint who was less active? The decree of the Court gave a new title, superior to that of the claimants previously to its issue. But it was said the present was a foreign vessel ; this, however, made no shade of distinction. There was nei ther principle, nor analogy, nor practice, which compelled the Court to allow a party, who only appeared on the very day of a decree to a previous claimant, to share a rateable distribu tion. But there bad been another ground asserted on behalf of the claim—an agreement between the parties. The Court, however, doubt-d its jurisdiction to regard or notice any agreement between proctors not appearing in acts of Court. Such private agreements were questions for a court of equity —not capable of being adequately decided elsewhere. So the Court hesitated to enter at all into any such question ; but in the act of petition there was in this case a distinct denial of any agreement—a denial supported by, and contradicted by, no affidavit. To the statements on either side the Court im puted no intentional error • but it was no part of its duty to decide upon this agreement. If it were proved, it had no authority to act upon it ; and it certainly offered no induce ment to the Court to alter its former decree, and to alter it in favour of parties who had awaited the previous decision, and bad taken no chance of incurring costs in the original question. The Court, therefore, resisted the prayer to share in distritution, but, under the circumstances, not with costs. TEE CONSTANTIA. . Dr. LUSIIINGTON also pronounced his judgment in this case. He said that subsequently to the preparation of his decision he had received .a petition from the consignees of certain silver, which for the benefit of the vessel had been sold at Bahia. It had struck him that that was merely a question of average, but as a distinct prayer had been made with regard to it, he would reserve that point, but proceed to pronounce his decision on the question which remained for consideration in this case, viz. ; whether the freight alone was liable for the wages, pilotage, towage, and similar ex penses incurred by this ship. The parties interested in the presentnuestion l etere the consignees of the cargo, ancrthe holders of a bond, dated April, 1845. That question was whether the freight and the ship, or freight alone, was liable for the expenses above-mentioned. This Peruvian vessel, on a voyage from Lima to London, laden with guano and silver, had met with had weather, and had put into Bahia. The master had sold the silver for the good of the vessel, and subject to any future considera tion. The question relating to that silver seemed to be a question of average, not to be dealt with in that Court. The rroduce of the silver, however, was not sufficient to meet the requirements of the ship, and the master granted two bottomry bonds, both dated Feb. 27 ; one upon the ship, and the other upon the cargo alone. The vessel had then put to sea, and had met with a collision. The master had then given another bond upon the ship alone, and that bond was the one whose holders were now before the Court. This state of things was very peculiar. The Court scarcely remembered any similar case of a bond upon the cargo alone. The general principle of bottom was that, as the benefit was given to the ship, the owners of the ship, in the first instance, and then of the freight, should be liable for money lent upon bottomry. In the Gratitudiue, decided by Lord Stowell , the ship, freight, and cargo, were all made liable on the face of the bond, but it was admitted that the ship and freight were first liable. In the Prince Regent, also, Lord Stowell had more distinctly decided that the ship and freight must first be ex— hausted before the cargo could be made available. The freight was to be called in, though not mentioned in the bond, and be applied in satisfaction of the bond, and this whether the bondholder required it or not. It was a right belonging to the owners of the cargo ; and the principles thus laid down did not apply merely to a bond upon a ship. If the bond were upon the freight, the ship would, under the same principle, be liable before the cargo could be applied, to the liquidation of the bond. But the circumstances in this case were particular. Here there was a bond upon the cargo, the validity of which was admitted. The Court had therefore been compelled to pronounce in favour of it, but that decision was of course subject to the three hip, gen eral principles of law as t o the p rior liabilit y of the owners 7, e o re ne upon here h bonds es and the other upon the ca r g o—the third (dated Aprtil), upon —the o two f the ship ol n iip pen and one fre d ig a h te t. (F T eh h . e 2 re 7 the ship alone. How were these bonds to be paid ? The last bond was to be paid first, and as that bond was upon the ship alone, the ship, in the first instance, was liable. If'any surplus were left, that surplus must go to the satisfaction of two prior bonds. They were of the same date, and not entitled to priority. They must be taken together. These two bonds were upon the ship and cargo— the freight not having been hypothecated at all. To the satisfaction of these two bonds, first must be applied the sur plus of the proceeds of the ship—what then ? Accord'ng to the proper construction, the bond upon the cargo must be read as if it were a bond upon the ship, freight, and cargo. If this were so, the proceeds of the freight must next be ap plied, and lastly, the cargo. But now came the immediate question—from what funds were the wages, the towage, and the pilotage to be paid ? It.was said out of the frieght. The Court could not understaud why. The ship received equal benefit from such service, as did the owners of the freight ; and there was no reason why the holders of the bonds upon the ship alone should meet with any great favour. They bad taken the liability of the ship alone, when they might have demanded the liability of the ship and freight. These ex penses, therefore, must be paid out of the ship and freight egaal!y, and the motion that the freight alone should be liable for them rejected. 264 ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Coventry, March 24. (Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) THE QUEEN V. JOHN THOMPSON AND WILLOUGHBY WILSON. The prisoners were indicted for a highway robbery, ac companied with violence, at the parish of Foleshill, about three miles from this city. Mr. Hayes appeared .as counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Miller defended the prisoner Thompson, and Mr. Flood de fended Wilson. From the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prose cution, which was borne out by the evidence, it appeared that the prosecutor, whose name was Faulkner, was returning to Foleshill from Coventry, having a considerable sum of money in his possession, on the night of the 11th of this month. He was overtaken in his way by the two prisoners, of whom he inquired the way to Mr. Walker's, the boat-builder, at Foleshill, and told them that he wanted to pay him some money. After treating the two prisoners to some beer at a public-house, they all proceeded on their way, but upon their arrival at a second public-house Wilson pro ceeded apparently on his way home, the other prisoner and the prosecutor remaining behind for about five minutes. After this they again proceeded on their journey. The prosecutor suggested that they should go across a footpath, which they did, and at the end of about 500 yards they found Wilson lying down on the ground near the stile. They spoke to him, and passed on for about 400 yards further, when, upon ar riving at another stile, the prisoaer Thomson threw the pro secutor -suddenly into a ditch more than half full of water. At that moment a s.'cond person, whom the prosecutor could net identify, came up and jumped upon him as he was lying in the ditch ; and they both attempted to drown him in the ditch, the one trampling on him, while the other held his head under water. The second person pulled out a kni: similar to one afterwards found in Wilson's pocket, and de clared he would cut the prosecutor's throat; and was only prevented from doing so by the prisoner Thompson, who said "he would drown fast enough." They then robbed him of all his money, and left hint in a very exhausted state. Both the prisoners were apprehended on the following day, but none of the stolen property had ever been found. Thompson's hat and clothes were found covered with mud and dirt; the shoes of Wilson were found to correspond with footmarks at the place where the robbery was committed, but that field was in the occupation of the prisoner's brother. Mr. MILLeR contended that the whole transaction was a drunken frolic, in which he admitted that his client had par ticipated. Mr Floor), in addressing the jury, denied that there was sufficient evidence of the presence of Wilson on the occasion, the.prosecutor having been unable to identify him, though acquainted with his features.

OREGON; (From the Washington — CoVeZpendent of the New York Couri4 and Inuit or of March 5.) In the Senate on the 2d of March, Mr. Aitchison, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a Bill to or ganize and equip the militia in Oregon. Mr: Dayton submitted a resolution that the Secretary of the Navy inform the Senate if, in his opinion, the circum stances of our foreign relations be such as to require an incttased naval force; and what these circumstances are. Lies over. Mr. Semple presented resolutions of the Legislature of Illi nois, instructing their senators, &0., in regard to the "whole of Oregoti.” Mr. Hannegan moved the special order. Mr. Breese then addressed the Senate at great length upon the Oregon question, going over the welt-beaten track of title. The Executive, he said, had done his duty—the House theirs—and it remained fur the Senate alone to act. AU further negotiation, unless such as might be necessary to secure toe Hudson's Bay Company from the injury they would sustain by the sudden interruption of their trade, he utterly opposed. To arbitration he urged what he considered one fatal objection,viz., that there was no power to make any award by arbitrament binding upon the parties. He concluded by examining, and contrasting the capacities of the two nations, Great Britain aed the United States, for war, and deduced a favourable comparison for his owe-country. Mr. Dayton next took the floor. The Senate adjourned. On the 3d, in the Senate, the Presiding Officer laid before this Chamber a communication from the Secretary of the .Navy giving a statement of the naval forces of the different nations of the earth. Mr. J. M. Clayton, submitted a resolution, calling on the President to communicate to the Senate copies of any cor respondence on the Oregon subject that may have passed between this Government and that of Great Britain since the last made public ; or so much of the same as may not be incompatible with the public interest. Lies over. Mr. Dayton's resolution, calling on tne President to know if he deemed an increase of naval force necessary at this time, and for what reasons, coming up for consideration, Mr. Sevier requested the Senator for New Jersey not to press it at once, but let it lie for a day or two, and Mr. Dayton acquiesced. 'the special order was resumed. Mr. Dayton addressed the Senate for about two hours, in a speech characterised by all that fitness of reason ing, and erace of diction, which invariably marks this g,ntleman's style. He regretted the want of a pre cise point in the discussion now going on, which he said had began, and he fared would end, with gene ralities. But were he as anxious for the acquisition of all of Oregon as some senators on the other side, he would make a precise point, and it should be this—that, instead of seeing an immediate issue to the Oregon question, with a sort of seeking gallantry, nothing should be done. He would meet Great Britain upon her own ground, when she said that occupancy alone could confer a title to the territory. Our ci tizens were pouring in there in the proportion of 100 to 1 of hers.. lot tad he apprehend that danger from collision to which the senator' from Missouri (Mr. Benton) had referred, and somewhat hap' ily illustrated by citing the patriarchs of old: there was room and range enough for the flocks and herds of all the shepherds, and need be no strife among them. Mr. Dayton then reviewed the negotia tion-, and affirmed that, with all the irrefragable facts and arguments adduced, no new light had been shed upon the controversy; it was the sante old story which had been re peated by all the negotiators for these twenty years. He conceded to our negotiator (Mr. Buchanan) un questioned abilities, and excused the insufficiency of his objections to arbitration on the ground that the subject admitted of no better. On this point, he expressed a fear that - the civilised world would view our course as evasive and unsatisfactory. He next passed to Mr. Breese's speech of yesterday, and shoived the futility of so many of the premises and deductions of tbe Illinois senator as fairly compelled this gentlemen to blush. Some of his (Mr. tr.'s) calculations, one with respect to the capacities of the two countries for war, the readiness with which our packet-ships could be' converted into men-of war, &e., he proved to be idle—utterly idle. Among other things, Mr. B. had asked why, if Great Britain had a sincere, cosfidence in her title to Oreg,n, she had stood by with folded arms while our negotiation proceeded with Russia? Mr. Dayton replied to this, " that the Senator from Illinois was mistaken in the fact ;" and he proposed to read from a Senate document of the 18th Congress, from which the injunction of secrecy had not been removed, to trove this position. He believed it not improper to do so, as Its. proposed only to read so much as was known to the Eng lish Government. Mr. Webster here turned in his seat, and asked how, if it, the injunction of sectesy, had not been removed, he obtained the document ? Mr. Dayton answered that it had been published for the use of the Senate, and he got it from the room of the Secre- tare. (fere there was some sensation, and a variety of under tone Opinions expressed—some desirous of having the ex tract read, and others opposing the same. Mr. Sevier objected to the reading, and the Chair was understood as sustaining the objection. Mr. Dayton cheerfully waived the design, and stated what he would have read would show most conclusively that Great Britain was not silent' apon that occasion, but keenly watchful cf her -interests. Towards the conclusion df his remarks, Mr. Denton adverted to the rumour whicn lad given currency, that this question was to be ultimately settled by the surrender of certain equiva lent advantages io our adversary., He did not mean to say that this was so, but some movements certainly seemed to corroborate it. Once, it was a pertinent question in Eng lwild—" Who reads an American book ?" Now, however, it appeared that erne of our documents furnished the very pabulum of the British House of Lords.—(Loud laughter.) It was a general impression that war, and a war party, was popular in thi: country. This was true of th • wars in which we had been engaged, for each and all of them were wars for principle, and Lot for property. 011 this point he feared not to trust the good sense and feeling of the people—the needle of public feeling might vibrate doubtfully at first, but it would settle at last tremulously, but truly to the North. Mr. Haywood, says the New York Courier, will speak to morrow, and it is understood that, among other things, ha will take the ground that Mr. Polk will take 49, if it shall be tendtrt dby Great Britain. His position will be important, as he will endeavour to present the views of the President. MONEY MARKE 31aRcii 4.—A1l was bright to -day and active at the Stock Board.

GERMAN EMIGRANTS TO A lIIER ICA.—The streets and quays of Havre are crowded for the last few days with great numbers of Germans, and their wives and families, emigrating to America.

DREADFUL A Cei DENT —FOUR PERSONS DROWNED —On the evening of the• 11th instant, as a party of people from Knoydart were returning from Airsaig (where they had been making purchases), their boat struck on a sunk rock. There wer e nine per sons on b, - qtrd, and the 's ,, rieks of the party on discovering their dangerous situation were fortunately heard by a lady at blorar House, In Airsaig. A boat was instantly launched and the servants proceeded to render assistance, but before they had reached tne spot four persons—two men and two women - had found a watery grave. Other two.men had succeeded in effecting a landing, but three more were drifting with the boat, sometimes clinging 'to the keel, and at other times getting into it when the boat righted, and sitting up to the neck in water with the waves every moment dashing over them.

At nine o'clock this mornine . the Learned Chief Baron took his vat in the Nisi Prius'Court, and after the disposal of a few unimportant cases of felony, the Learned Judge rose, and his Court was adjourned, the remaining business of the assizes, being of a trivial character. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Three very respectably-dresse I men, Thomas George Jones , aged 24, Samuel Jmes, aged 22, and John Hines, aged 25, were indictt d for assaulting James M‘Dertnott on the 12th of September last, at Norton Canes, putting him in bodily fear, and stealing from his person two sovereigns, a tobacco-box, and a small quantity of tobacco, his property. Mr. Iludaleston conducted the prosecution ; Mr. 'Yardley defended the prisoners. It appeal - ea that the prosecutor, with a party of other la bourers, all natives of the sister isle, had been working for a farmer of the name of Roberts, and assisting him to get in his harvest. On the day in question he paid two sovereigns and eight shillings to one of their number for division amongst the rest, and his wife sold half an ounce of tobacco to the prosecutor. Almost immediately after he and two or three of his companions, as was alleged by M'Dermott, were dragged or pushed into the cellar of a beer-shop kept iby the prisoners. What thereupon took place it was difficult to ascertain, in consequence of the confused manner of the witness. Screams and cries of murder were, however, heard issuing from the premises of the prisoners, and upon one point the prosecutor seemed perfectly clear— namely, the loss of his money, his tobacco-box, and its con.. tents. Immediately after the occurrence he made a loud lament, bitterly deploring the cruelty of his aggressors, re peating that he was now ruined entirely, and unable ever to return to his Irish home. A considerable amount of evidence was adduced in corroboration, but there seemed to be some variance respecting the material facts to which we have alluded, and from the time which had elapsed since the event, some trilling discrepancy was also elicited upon minor points. By the cross-examination of the prisoner's counsel, one witness, who appeared to entertain an undue bias against the men at the bar, arising from transactions irrelevant to the one under consideration, was checked by the Learned Judge for the alacrity which ho displayed in , relating cir cumstances adverse to them, which had no connexion with this case. The trial occupied the Court nearly five hours, and termi nated in a verdict of Acquittal. A second indictment against the same men for robbing Michael M'Dermott, under similar circumstances, was then read by the officer of the court, but no evidence was offered, and the jury having, pro forma, pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty, the prisoners were discharged. The few cases which still remain are wholly unimportant in their details, and at their termination the two Learned Judges will proceed to open the commission at Shrewsbury, where the business of the assizes commences on Thusday morning at twelve o'clock. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, March 24. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) ROSS V. HIGNETT. This was an action in which the plaintiff declared that he was employed by the defendant to purchase railway shares for him on his (the plaintiff's) personal responsibility, and the defendant, in consequence, undertook to provide the money to complete the purchase, which he failed to do. Mr. Martigiand Mr. Atherton for the plaintiff ; Mr. Baines and 1110 0 Cowling for the defendant. It appeared that ou the 3d of October the defendant had given direction.) the plaintiff to purchase on his account twelve shares in the Sheffield, Ashton- under-Lyne, and Man chester Railwaind the same day, having completed the purchase at 127. ~ Mr. Ross, the plaintiff's clerk, made out an advice note of the purchase of these shares, and sent a duplicate of it to the defendant. On the duplicate sent being called for and not produced, that retained in Mr. Baines's office was tendered in evidence; neither copy it appeared was stamped. Mr. BAINES objected that it required a stamp, on the ground that it was evidence of an agreement relating to a matter above the value of 20/. On the other side it was contended that it was not evi dence of an agreement, but was merely notice to the de fendant that an agreement had been entered into on his behalf. His LORDSHIP overruled the objection. It appeared that the shares in question had been pur chased by the plaintiff from other brokers—Dinwoodie and Co.' They were bought on the 3d of October for the account of the 15th of October, and subsequently paid for by the plaintiff. It is the practice in the share-market to hold the broker responsible for these bargains, neither selling nor buying broker usually disclosing his principal. The scrip was not handed over for some time after the sale ; in point of fact, on the 3d of October and for some time after there was no scrip or certificate representing these shares in ex istence. It appeared that about the 16th of October the defendant desired another firm of brokers in Manchester to sell on his account 30 shares in the same railway, and a note was re ceived by the plaintiff from a person of the name of Thorpe, who assisted the defendant in the conducting of these trans actions, advising the plaintiff of this sale, telling him that the 12 shares in question formed part of the lot, and direct ing him to apply to the brokers for the amount at the rate of 101. 17s. 6d. per share. The plaintiff, however, declined to do so, as he was entitled to receive the full purchase money he had paid, and his commission amouating altogether to 12/. 7s. 6d., awl the shares consequently remained in his hands. On the conclusion of the plaintiff's case Mr. BAINES ob jected that the contract alleged in the declaration was not made out, inasmuch, as at the time of the alleged employ ment of the plaintiff to purchase, and the purchase of the alleged shares, there really were no shares or scrip certificates to represent them in existence. HIS LORDSHIP reserved the point. Mr. BAINES admitted that on the facts he had no case to go to the jury, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff. MARSDEN V. NEWMARSII AND ANOTNER. This was an action cu alleged retainer of the defendants to buy and sell shares for him, in consideration of which the defendants engaged to use due diligence and to obey the due and lawful orders of the plaintiff. The declaration then alleged that the defendants bad in their possession and charge divers shares and scrip certificates, subject to the order and disposition of the bankrupt, and that they disobeyed the orders of the plaintiff respecting them, by which he sustained a loss. Mr. Martin and Mr. Atherton for the plaintiff ; Mr. Wat son and Mr. Cowling for the defence. The substance of the case, as set up for the plaintiff, was that he had directed the defendants to purchase for him a number of shares in the Leeds and York, Leeds and Thirsk, and Shrewsbury and Herefordshire Railways, and had after wards directed them to be sold out. The defendants sold the Leeds and York at the time directed, but did not sell the Leeds and Thirsk until a considerable time after, when the market had fallen considerably. The Shrewsbury and Herefordshire remained unsold. It appeared that the order in question was given on the 30th of September last, and on the same day the contract was completed, and the advice notes forwarded to the plain tiff. It appeared, according to the evidence of a Mr. Duck worth, a broker, that he had introduced the plaintiff to Mr. Newmarsh on the3oth September, at the time the order was given. Witness saw Mr. Marsden on the Ist October. On the 2d October saw Mr. Newmarsh on the subject of those shares ; and on the behalf of Mr. Marsden, directed him to sell the Leeds and Thirsk and Leeds and York. He told witness he had had a written order from Mr. Marsden to that effect. The Leeds and York were that day sold. After the Exchange closed, witness saw Mr. Newmarsh again, and asked if he had sold. He said he had not sold the Leeds and Thirsk, as they were sure to go up and reach 301. or 401. Witness said he should have sold. Newmarsh said as this was the first transaction he had had for Mr. Marsden he would wish it to be a good one, and would take the respon sibility upon himself. The shares were then at 21i or 21t They were actually sold on the 13th at 18/., and the defen dants in advising the plaintiff of that fact said, they would not charge commission, as the business bad been an unfor • tunate one. Witness had a conversation with Mr. New marsh on the 6th or 7th about the Shrewsbury and Here fordshire, and directed him expressly to sell. H e then also said, he had received a written order from Mr. Marsden to the same effect. These shares still remain unsold. In the cross-examination some papers were put into the witness's band, which he identified as the handwriting of the plaintiff. One of these was an order to sell the Leeds and York, dated the 2d October. In that no mention was made of the Leeds and Thirsk. There was another, of the Bth of October, directing a sale of the Leeds and Thirsk, but nothing was therein said of the Shrewsbury and Hereford shire. At the close of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Wasrsos submitted there was no case to go to the jury. He said there was no evidence of any such general contract as that alleged in the declaration. The contract, if any, was on each particular parcel which the plaintiff directed to be bought or sold. There was, further, no evidence that after the making of the contract they had in their possession and charge any shares or scrip certificates of the plaintiff. The shares were purchased for the account day, and the mode of settling was for the brokers to set off with each other the amounts of the several shares they had bought or sold, receiving or paying only the balance. No shares or scrip had been delivered at the time of the sale. His LORDSHIP overruled the objection, and said there was evidence to go to the jury. For the defence witnesses were called to show that the plaintiff, after sending the order for the sale of the Leeds and Thirsk shares, was quite satisfied with the delay which had taken place, and admitted it had been for the best, con sidering the flat state of the market, and that a balance sheet being furnished to him shortly after the sale, he made no objection or complaint. The present action was not com menced until Messrs. Newmarsh and Withington had com menced one against him, for an alleged claim they had on him, arising out of these transactions. It was urged that the statements of Mr. Duckworth also were inconsistent wi h the written orders, which were admitted to be the genuine orders of the plaintiff. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendants, on account of the Leeds and Thirsk shares, and for the plaintiff on account of the Shrewsbury and Herefordshire. Some difficulty was felt in settling the measure of damages, but it was finally agreed that a verdict should be taken for 1281., the difference between the value of th e shares on the Bth of October and the present day; it being left to the Court above to say whether any other date, and what, should be fixed on as the point of comparison. e, DESERTERS FROM TEE ARMY.—From a return yes terday issued by order of Parliament, it appears that in 1840-41, the expense of the apprehension, subsistence, and escort of deserters was 2,6341.; the expense of the subsistence of other soldiers in confinement, 10,364/. In the year 1841-42,and the hitter, the former expense w as 4 , 385 /. , 10,779/. ; in 1842-43, the respective expenses were 3,9591 and 10,165/. ; 1843-44, 2.874/. and 11,213/. ; and in 1844-45 2,168/. and 11,975/.

G. Smith, K.C.8., dated the 30th ultimo, detailing the particulars of the signal victory gained on the 28th ultimo by the British troops under bis command, over a strong division of the Seikh forces commanded by the Sirdar Rtuajoor Singh Mujethea. By order of the lion. the Governor in Council, J. P. WILLOUGHBY - , Chief Sec. GENERAL ORDER BY THE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL. FOREIGN DEPARTMENT. Camp Feros,poor, Feb. 2, 1846. The Governor-General announces to the army and the people of India, that he has received from his Excel lency the Commander-in-Chief of the army, a report by Major-General Sir Harry Smith, K.C.8., dated the 30th ultimo, giving the details of a complete victory gained by the troops under the immediate command of the Major• General, on the 28th of January, over the Seikh forces commanded by the Sirdar Runjoor Sink Mujethea. In this decisive and glorious action, the enemy's in fantry were dislodged from every position and village they attempted to hold, by rapid charges at the point of the bayonet. Their horsemen were driven from every part of the field by repeated charges, in which the supe rior valour of the European and naive cavalry was most conspicuous, and the artillery, moving with its accus tomed celerity, was always well to the front, directing its fire with precision and effect. The result of these noble efforts of the three arms of artillery, cavalry, and in fantry, in which the valour and discipline of the troops were happily combined with the skill of the commander. has been the signal defeat of the enemy, who was driven across the river with great loss, bis camp being captured and fifty-two pieces of artillery remaining in the hands of the victors. These trophies, in addition to those taken at Ferosshah and Moodkee, complete the number of 153 pieces of the artillery taken in the field from the enemy since the Bri tish army moved from its cantonments to repel a most unprovoked aggression on its territories. To Major-General Sir Harry Smith, and to the brave troops he commanded, the Governor-General conveys the tribute of his admiration and the grateful acknow ledgments of the Government and the people of India. The service rendered was most important, and was ac complished by the ability of the Commander and the valour of the troops. The Governor-General's thanks are due to Brigadier Wheeler, who, although still suffering from the wounds received at Moodkoe, energetically headed his brigade, composed of her Majesty's 50th Regiment, the 48th Native Infantry, and the Sirmoor Battalion. Great praise is also due to B-igadiers Godby and Hicks, who, with the 36th Native Infantry, and Nusserse Battalion, her Majesty's 31st, and the 24th and 47th Native In fantry, stormed the village of Aliwal, drove the enemy from it, and seised the guns by which it was defended, The Governor-General has much satisfaction in ob serving the warm terms of admiration in which the Major-General speaks of the Nusseree and Sirmoor Bat talions, and the Shekawattee Brigade, under Brigadier Penny, Captain Fisher, and Major Forster. These corps nobly emulated the example of the regular regi ments of infantry. In short, the conduct of the troops, European and Native, Regular and Irregular, was throughout the field an honourable rivalry, in which every corps bravely did its duty. Tier Majesty's 16th Lancers on this occasion have added to their former reputation, acquired in ♦arious fields of battle in Asia, by routing the enemy's cavalry in every direction, and by resolute charges of two of its squadrons under Captain Bere and Major Smith and Captain Pearson, penetrating the enemy's square of Infantry, in which charges the squadrons were gal lantly supported by the 3d Light Native Cavalry under Major Angelo. In these exploits the Native Cavalry distinguished itself throughout the day, and the Governor-General is happy to bear this testimony to the feet, that since the army of the Sutlej commenced its op,rations on the 18th of December, the native cavalry has on every oc casion proved its superior prowess, whether in the ge neral actions which have been fOught or in the various skirmishes at the outposts, such as that in which Cap tain Beecher was gallantly engaged with a small party of the Bth Irregular Cavalry ut Alloowalla on the morn ing of the 27th of January. The Governor-General's thanks are due in an espe cial manner to Brigadier Cureton, who commanded the cavalry. This officer's whole life has been spent in the most meritorious exertions in Europe and Asia, and on this occasion the skill and intrepidity with which the cavalry force was handled obtained the admiration of the army which witnessed their movements. The Government of India, ever desirous to mark its grateful sense of the services of the army, will cause a, medal to be presented to every officer and soldier of the East India Company's service engaged in the battle of Aliwal, and requests, through his Excellency the Com mander-in-Chief, that a nominal roll may be furnished for that purpose. _ By order of the Right Hon. the Governor- General of India, (Signed) F. CURRIE, Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General. EXTRACT FROM A DISPATCH FROM NIS EXCELLENCY TIRE COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF TO THE RIGINT NON. THE OOYEE. NOR.GENERAL, DATRIS FRB. 1, 1846. Meanwhile the upper Sutlej has become the scene of very interesting operations. It is a strange feature of this war that the enemy, pressed for supplies on his own bank, has been striving to draw them from his Jagheer states on this side of the river. In the town and fort of Dhurrumkote, which were filled with grain, he had, in the second week of January, a small garrison of mercenaries 7 —Rohillas, Eusufzies. and Affghans. Major- General Sir Harry Smith was, on the 18th, sent against this place with a single brigade of his division, and a light field battery. He easily effected its reduction, the troops within it surrendering at discretion, after a few cannon shots. But whilst he was yet in march, I received information of a mori terious character. There remained little cause to doubt that Birder Runjoor Singh Majeuthea had crossed from Philour, at the head of a numerous force of all arms, and established himself in position at Baran Hare, between the old and the new course of the Sutlej ; not only threatening the city of Loodianah with plunder and devastation, but indicating a determination to intersect the line of our communications at Bussian and Raekote. The safety of the rich and populous town of Loodianah had been, in some measure, provided for by the presence of three battalions of Native Infantry, under Brigadier Godby, and thekradual advance of our reinforcements, amongst which w as included her Majesty's 53d Regiment, and the position of the Shekawattee Brigade near Bussian, gave breathing time to us in that direction. But on the receipt of intelligence which could be relied on, of the movements of Runjoor Singh and his apparent views, Major-General Sir Harry Smith, with the brigade at Dhurmkote, and Brigadier Cureton's cavalry, was directed to advance by Jugraon towards Loodianah, and his second brigade, under Brigadier Wheeler, moved on to support him. Then commenced a series of very delicate combinations,tbe momentous character of which can only be comprehended by relecting on the task which had devolved on this army of guarding the frontier from Rooper down to Mundote. The Major-General, breaking up from Jugraon, moved towards Loodianah, when the Sirdar, relying on the vast superiority of his forces, assumed the initiative, and endea voured to intercept his progress by marching in a line parallel to him, and opening upon his troops a furious eannonade. eikh Sirdar, bending round o ne win g of his arm y , en- The Major-General conti nued cooll y to manoeuvre, and when the e S 1 ped his flank, he extricated himself by retiring with the steadiness of a field day by echellon of battalions, and effected his communication with Loodianah, but not without severe 085. Reinforced by Brigadier Godby, he felt himself to be strong; but his manteuvres had thrown him out of com munication with Brigadier Wheeler, and a portion of his baggage had fallen into the bands of the enemy. The Seikh Sirdar took up an entrenched position at Budhowal, sup porting himself on its fort, but threatened on either flank by General Smith and Brigadier Wheeler, finally decamped, and moved down to the Sutlej. The British troops made good their j unc tion, and occupied the abandoned position of Bud bowel ; the Shekawattee Brigade and her Majesty's 53d Regiment also added to the strength of the Major-General, and he prepared to attack the Scilth Sirdar on his new ground. But on the 26th Runjoor Singh was reinforced from the right bank with 4,000 regular troops, 12 pieces of artillery, and a large force of cavalry. Emboldened by this succession of strength he ventured on tke measure of advancing towards Jugraon, apparently with the viewof intercepting our communications by that route.
