The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster today, shortly after ten o'clock, and before twelve o'clock had disposed of all the cases in his paper, thereby concluding the hearing of all the appeals at present set down before him. His Lordship will not sit to-morrow, there being nothing for him to proceed with.°oll Wednes day, which is the last day of term, his Lordship will hear motions, and after the first seal his Lordship will probably take original causes. IN RE ROBSON—PETITION OF RIGHT._ Our readers will recollect that this case, which came before the Court upon an application for a commission toinquire into the allegation of a petition of right, was ordered to stand over till to-day, in order to give the Attorney-General an opportunity of consi dering what course he would adopt on behalf of the Crown. On the case being called on this morn lug, it was stated that there was no objection to the course proposed to be pursued by the petitioner. CHRISTIAN V. FOSTER. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed and concluded to-day, and The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judgment on Wednesday. The only two other appeals on his Lordship's paper, Stocker v. Dawson, and llawkes v. llowell, having been disposed of, his Lordship rose before twelve o'clock. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 23. STAINES V. TAYLOR. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed :o-day, and occupied his Lordship the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Non. 23. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) The further arguments in the part-heard case of Terry v. Wacher occupied his Honour the whole day. (Before Sir J. K. BRUcE.) GEARY V. NORTON. This was a cause in which the plaintiffs, Messrs. Geary and Co., shawl manufacturers, in Leeds, sought for the continuance as well as the costs of an injunction that had been obtained last year to prevent the defend ants, James Norton and James Ford Haneford, selling an article called the Royal Mecklin Shawl, which had been registered by the plaintiffs. It appeared that the defendants, who travelled about for business, had obtained an order from a person named Burrell to supply him with a number of the shawls in question, and that Norton accordingly went to a Mr. Scott, shawl manufacturer, in Leicestershire, and got the order executed. This coming to the ears of the plaintiffs, they had a correspondence with the defendants, and eventually obtained the injunction. The infringement of the patent was admitted by the defend ants, but they contended that the injunction was an uti called-for and vexatious proceeding, they having but four days before it had been obtained, and on the dis covery of the fact of the shawl being a patent article, wrote to the defendants, promising to suspend the sale of all the shawls of this description in their possession, of which there was a large number. At the conclusion of the arguments, His HONOUR said he would order the defendants to pay the general costs, and would continua the injunction. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 23. THE QUEEN V. THE OVERSEERS OY KIRBY LONSDALE. In this case a mandamus had been obtained in the Bail Court, at the instance of a person named Tennant, who had been a paid assistant-overseer of the parish, but who had been discharged from that office by the Poor law Commissioners for improper conduct, calling upon the overseers of the parish to produce the authority under which they held their offices. Mr. GODSON, Q.O , now applied to the Court to dis charge the rule with costs. He read an affidavit from Alderman Thompson, the largest proprietor in the town ship, stating that the value of Tennant's property in the parish was only 101. 16s. a year, that the overseers were appointed by the votes of nearly the whole of the parish, that the conduct of Tennant had been refractory and litigious, and that his only motive in the proceeding was to harass and annoy the overseers so appointed. He was supported in his application by a person named Grundy, who appeared anxious to become one of the overseers, but it appeared by the affidavit that he was not a substantial householder, and not a fit person to hold such an office. If he felt aggrieved he might ap peal to the sessions, or bring the matter by certiorari into this Court. He had, however, appealed, but un successfully, and he now came to this Court in order that he might annoy the parties, and put them to great expense. Mr. RA3ISEY, who was with Mr. Godson, argued that such an application was wholly unprecedented and untenable. Mr. PASHLEY argued, on the other hand, that a party who was interested in the appointments, like Mr. Ten nant, had a perfect right to call upon the overseers to show by what authority they held their offices, espe cially as he was prepared to show that they were not duly appointed. He cited the authority of Lord Camp bell, who, when Attorney-General, so argued. and cases in which the Court had granted writs of mandamus to inspect the accounts and other documents appertaining to the affairs of the parish in which they were rated inhabitants. A ratepayer, quite irrespective of the amount of which he was rated, had a perfect right to make such an inspection: it would be most unjust to refuse him an opportunity of doing so, because, though his stake might be small, he had to contribute his quota to the expenses of the parish, and he had a perfect right to examine the expenditure. lie submitted that the rule should be made absolute. The COURT considered that the opposition was un preced,nted and uncallo-d for. The rule must, therefore. he discharged, with costs. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE regretted that ha granted the rule in the first instance; he should not have acceded to it if the faces detailed to-day had been before him. TILE QUEEN V. TIIE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. The ATToRNEY-GENERAL said he had to show cause aeaiust a rule which had been obtained by his Learned Friend, Mr. Crowder, calling upon the Commissioners of Sewers to show cause why a certiorari should not be directed to them, calling upon them to remove into this Court a presentment which they had made against William Kinnaird aenkin7, bearing date the 18th of August last,, and relating to the construction of a sewer under Monmouth-road, Paddington, with the order of the Commissioners referred to therein. Mr. Justice Erie would no doubt recollect that the case had been before him on affidavits at chambers, and that his Lordship refused to make an order to stay proceed iegs after the 10th of November. The fact s were sim p l y these:—The affidavit of the Commissioners stated that Mr. Jenkins applied to them for power to build a new sewer from certain houses in Monmouth-street, St. Mary's parish, into a sewer cal'ed the Ranelagh sewer, the main sewer of the district, which was under the direct;on of the Commissioners. The new sewer did not extend to the boundary line of Mr. Jenkins' pro perty, and the Commissioners, in acceding to his application on the 18:h of August last, directed him to carry it to the boundary : lie had, however, contemptuously refused to obey this order, although he had received notice that the Commissioners would exercise the powers vested in them it he did not comply with the order—namely, amerce him in the sum of 3,0001., unless he should complete the sewer in the course of one calendar month. It went on to say that a Mr. Anderson had obtained leave to build a sewer in connexion with the Ittnelagh sewer, which ought, for the public benefit, to form a junction with Mr. Jenkins's sewer, and that they made an order to carry this into effect, but that Mr. Jenkins had built a wall which en tirely prevented Mr. Andersoa from completing the con nexion. therefore causing a " hindrance and impedi ment ;" and he was amerced in a fine of 501. The re gulations which the Commissioners were empowered to enforce, with respect to persons making sewers, stated that all persons who had obtained leave to construct sewers leading through property divided by boundary lines, being separate property, should be required, when such boundary was within thirty feet of the buildings, to carry it to the outside of the boundary line of such adjoining property. He built the wall of his garden at the very limit of his land, but he stopped two feet short, in order to deprive the Commissioners of power over the sewer, and to prevent any one from forming a junction with it without paying him. Mr. Anderson built on the adjoining lands, but he was unable to complete his on account of the hiatus of the two feet. He appealed to the Commissioners, who directed Jenkins to complete the sewer in two months. , When the matter was before the Commissioners various objections were made — namely, that the notice was not properly served, and that he had no notice of the proceed ings taken against him. No notice was neces sary, as they were in the nature of an inquest. and the proceedings were merely preliminary. Objec tions had been. since raised to the following effect: — That he Was only a life-owner of the estate, and that the Court had no power to amerce him; that they had no power to compel him to build the sewer beyond the extent of the boundary; that the fine was excessive, and that the jury were misled in imposing it, and that his interest in the property was not adequate to the proceedings against him. Now the defendant had admitted that he had notice of the inqui sition.. Then he did not traverse as he should have done, he wished to urge those objections. It might be said that a n ac ti on m i g ht be brought by the Com missioners for breach of contract; but by the 47 Geo. L " s to p el/4'. 3, He punish p er son s the un Co mmissioners s aalw a ys o lw no offe n d i ng ante yss tore themsel v es d d in withthe Commis- g bym a n w e e r r c ee e m powered n or otherwise. ,ioners as if he was the owner of the property, and the proper course to adopt, if he wished to get the fine set aside, was by application to the Lords of the Treasury. Then the sewers became the-property of the Commis sioners of Sewers. He trusted on those grounds that the Court would discharge the rule with costs. Mr. &Men followed on the same side. Mr. CROWDER appeared in support of the rule. lie contended that the sewers were not the property of the Commissioners, but of the public, for whom they were t ru stees, and that the order of the Commissioners was invalid, inasmuch as the power which they possessed only extended to the construction of sewers under the superintendence of their officer, and not to the entire right of sewers built at the exp ense of private persons. It would be absurd to say that a n Act passed in the 47th of George 111. gave them such a monopoly of private property, without affording the o wners compensation. The real object of the proceeding was to afford Mr. An derson certain conveniences at the expense of Mr. Jen kins, who had done all he was required to do substantial manner years ago ; but now , in 184.6, fault was found with him. Ile was, however, willing to complete the sewer on terms to be arranged between him and Mr. Anderson. It was a great public question whether the Commissioners did or did not exercise powers to which they were not strictly entitled. Tney had the control of public, but not of private, sewers, except to see that they were properly made, and did not become a nuisance, under the 47th of George the Third, under which they stated they l exercised their powers. There was no language in the SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 24, IS4 Act to justify such an arbitrary power as was exercised by the commissioners, and set forth in the bye-law, and un • less for the public good were not empowered to compel a person to carry a sewer thirty feet beyond the spot he might require it. If it was held to be good, they might compel a pers-on building houses to carry a sewer 200 feet further than was necessary, on the supposition that the public would be thereby benefited. He then went on to deal with the other objections, all of which he held were fatal, and trusted the Court would make the rule absolute, in order that the whole matter might come be fore the review of the Court. Mr. Bristow and Mr. Higgins followed on the same side. The COURT conferred together for some time, but took time to consider. BAIL COURT, Nov. 23. YATES V. THE COMMISSIONERS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER.—CONSTRUCTION OF THE LANDS' CLAUSFS CONSOLIDATION ACT. Mr. WORDSWORTH, on behalf of Mr. Yates, applied for a rule, directed to the Commissioners for the Im provement of the City of Westminster, calling on them to show cause why they did not deliver up to Mr. Yates the appointment of an arbitrator, in order that it might be made a rule of Court to enforce an award. The question would affect the construction of the Lands' Clauses Consolidation Act, as passed in the last session of Parliament, His client was the proprietor and occupier of some premises in Tothill-street, West minster, and he received notice from the Commissioners that his property was required for the purposes of the Act under which they were appointed. Mr. Yates sent in his claim, and th• matter under certain provisions was referred to arbitration. The result was that the sum of 1,7261.85. was awarded to Mr. Yates. That award gave great dissatisfaction to the Commissioners, who were determined to resist it. By the Act appointing the Commissioners, the Lands' Clauses Consolidation Act was incorporated with it. By these joint Acts it was enacted that, in case any dispute as to the amount of compensation should arise, the matter might be referred to arbitration, each side choosing an arbitrator, who in their turn should choose an umpire. The matter being once submitted to arbitration, could not be withdrawn un less by consent of all parties ; and the party in possession of the award and the documents submitting the case to arbitration were compelled to furnish copies, and to allow inspection and use of the original. The Commissioner s in this case were applied to to give up the award and submission, in order that they might be made a rule of Court as it was expressly provided in the Act, but they refused to do so, as a copy had been furnished but the original detained. Mr. Justice ERLE—The question is whether the rule is to be to show cause why the original document should not be delivered up, or why the authenticated copy should not be made a rule of Court. Mr. WORDSWORTH said that was the difficulty, but the rule and alternative could be given. Then a very important question arose, as to what documents con stituted the submission under the 25th section of the Act. The question must be decided very shortly, as it would affect the interest of every railway com pany, or company for improvement, which had been formed since the passing of the Lands' Clauses Con solidation Act. The Learned Counsel then cited several authorities as to the mode in which the rule should be given. Mr. Justice ERLE granted a rule nisi, to show cause why the original documents should not be delivered up, or in default, why the copy should not be made a rule of Court instead, THE BISHOP OF EXETER V. LATIMER. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD IN RE BINGLEY. Charles Bingley, described as of Charles-street, Spital fields, t r i m ming-manufacturer, was brought up in cus tody to pass his last examination. He was supported by Mr. Stammers as counsel, and opposed by Mr. Hudson as solicitor to the assignees. It appeared that no accounts had been furnished by the bankrupt to the assignees, but Mr. Stammers con tended that under the Act of Parliament the assignees were bound when the bankrupt was in prison to send in an accountant, and afford the bankrupt access td his books. Mr. Hudson, in reply, argued that the Act was not compulsory on the assignees, but merely permissive, and that under all the circumstances of the case they would riot have been justified in doing so. The Learned COMMISSIONER acquiesced, especially as it appeared that the bankrupt had engaged some person to make out his accounts. His Honour said he must adjourn the examination until the accounts were furnished. Mr. HUDSON said this was a very complicated case, and he had, on behalf of the assignees, to put it forth as one of gross fraud. It appeared that he had been for a long time carrying on business in different places, and latterly was married to a Mrs. Davis, who carried on the same business. He was not only married to her, but it would, no doubt, be proved that he had several other wives, and that there had been a regular conspiracy. Just previously to the bankruptcy, the bankrupt had obtained goods to a large amount from different persons, some of which had found their way to Mrs. Davis's place of business, but she, after assigning certain property and debts to a person named Mitchell, who had married her daughter, absconded with the property or proceeds sent in by the bankrupt. The police had been after her for some time, but without success and the bankrupt was taken by them in the act of flight. Mitchell, to whom Mrs. Davis had made the assignment, had been examined, and that was the only account of the bankrupt's affairs which had come to the assignees. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked whether they had not succeeded in taking any property? Mr. Hudson said, when the bankruptcy took place the messenger went to the place he had been inhabiting with his supposed wife, but all the property had been got away; but, after the bankrupt's arrest they took advice, and seized some of the property assigned by Mrs. Davis, on the ground that if bankrupt was married to her she could not assign the goods being sent in by bankrupt, although the business was carried on in her name. The bankrupt was then examined, but refused to say whether he was married to Mrs. Davis or not. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the bankrupt was not bound to answer, if the answer would criminate him. Mr. Hudson put his question in another form, and re quired to know whether his wife had told him of the disposal of the property, either before or after his arrest? The COMMISSIONER—You must not say " his wife," but ask whether it was Mrs. Davis, or the woman he called his wife. Mr. Stammers objected that even such a question might lead to a criminal inference, and be collateral evidence of the bankrupt was indicted for bigamy, and, on the authority of the case "Re Kirby," in Montagu's Report, a bankrupt was not bound tc answer a question to obtain indirectly that which could no: be got in evi dence directly. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that it might be taken so far as the civil effect of the answer went, though not to be used criminally. The bankrupt was then examined as to the disposal of his goods, and he declared, that although he had heard where some goods were taken to within a fortnight, and had the address written for him, he could not remember it. His memory was " that bad," he could not remember, and he was a bad scholar, and could not read without a good light and plenty of time. He had given up the address to his accountant. He could not say who had given him the address. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he was on that oc casion inclined to commit the bankrupt, but perhaps a private examination would give him the opportunity to refresh his memory. The examination was adjourned for a fortnight. Bankrupt admitted that he was daily supported in prison from the proceeds of the sales by " his wife." Mr. MONTAGUE SMITH applied, on the part of the Bishop of Exeter, for a writ of certiorari to remove an indictment which had been found against Thomas Llti mer, the proprietor and publisher of a newspaper called the Western Times, in the city of Exeter, into this Court. The Learned Counsel stated that the libel was one of a most scandalous nature upon a dignitary of the Church, and attempts had been made by the defendant to prejudice any chance of a fair trial in the city of Exeter. The circumstances to which the libel had reference arose out of a speech made by Lord Seymour to the electors of Totnes, with reference to the dismissal of a gentleman named Shore from the cure of a chapel. The language of the libellous article was very strong and personal. The affidavit on which the motion was made was from Mr. Gibson, the Bishop's attorney, and stated that a true bill had beers found against the defendant; and that upon the indictment the circumstances relating to the pe tition of Mr. Shore and the speech of Lord Seymour, and also some transactions between the Bishop of Exeter to the Duke of Somerset would be brought into question, with other matters of very considerable importance, and fit only for the judgment of a special jury. The affidavit also stated that the paper of the defendant was circu lated amongst the class of persons who formed petty juries in the city of Exeter, and that several articles bad appeared in it calculated to prejudice any fair or un biassed decision on the indictment.—Rule granted.

The captain then went out, Hamburgh ...... 43 but he came back instantly, and beckoned to me; and as I am going to town, Billington said to me, why do you not do to me as Harvey has done, leave your pocket book on the table for a security for your return, and so I laid my pocket- book upon the table, and we left Bil liagton alone in the room. The LORD MAYOR—And all your money was in your pocket-book ? The prosecutor.—The whole of the seventeen 101. notes were in it. When Captain Harvey and I got about 3a or 40 yards down the street, I declined going ally further, but he wished me to go further for a stamped receipt. I returned, and there was no person in the room, and my pocket-book was gone. The people at the bar said the person I left in the room must have gone out at the back door, and I then gave information to the police. The LORD MA.YOR.—Are you positive that the pri soner Billington is the man whom you left in the room when you went away with Harvey, and that you left him alone? The prosecutor.—l am quite positive. The LORD MAYOR.--Do you know any thing of either of the other prisoners? The prosecutor.—l can't say that either of them is Captain Harvey. A buy who was employed in Barnard's-inn coffee house at the time of the robbery, stated that he saw the prisoners Thompson and Chalme in the room on the day the prosecutor complained that he had been robbed, but that he did not see the prisoner Billington there. ' Mr. Robinson contended that there was not the slightest ground for detaining either Thompson or Chalme, and that the evidence of the bar-boy, who did not see Billington at all in the house, would effectually tell against the testimony of the prosecutor before a jury. The LORD MAYOR said the prosecutor had much better reason for marking Billington than the boy had, and much better opportunity too, from the time they had been together, and the nature of the transaction from which the poor man had suffered so desperately. He trusted the police would not relax in their exertions to procure the evidence of every one who could state any ' thing of importance, A most heinous robbery had been perpetrated, and he should take care that nothing should be wanting upon his part as to the strictness of the in vestigation. He was convinced that the newspapers would in such a case render publicity to the circum stance, and thus give opportunities to other persons who had been plundered by the gang, to come forward and do justice. A countryman here stepped forward and stated that he had been robbed by Thompson and Chalme of a sovereign by means of a deceptive lock. The prisoners were remanded till Friday next, when other charges will, it is supposed, be brought forward against them. The American Consul applied to the Lord Mayor for the liberation of an American subject, who was a re spectable person, but one of very eccentric character, inspired with a sort of religious insanity, and at the same time quite harmless. He had made his appear ance in the neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange, where the singularity of his address and gesticulation drew the observation of the crowd upon him ; in conse quence of which the Inspector of Police had caused him to be taken into custody, to prevent obstructions, and no doubt to protect the poor man from injury. Inspector Woodraffe said, the poor man, who no doubt laboured under religious phrenzy, had been found walking round the Wellington statue, bare-headed, and brought to the station-house, from whence he was taken to the Union in Canon-street, by the officers of which he was transferred to Marlborough House, Peckham. From Peckham he was transferred to Doctor Warburton as a lunatic. The police had merely performed their duty in removing from the public streets a person labour inn under a mental malady. The man had complained very much of Marlborough House, Peckham, the filth and abomination of which seemed to make a deep im pression upon him. A respectable female, at whose house the American boarded, said he had lately arrived from Quebec, and was exceedingly eccentric. Ile was in the habit of saying that the Almighty directed him to keep his head cool and his feet wet m, and he was obedient to the Divine will. The dirt and filth of Marlborough House, at Peckham, had certainly had a great effect upon him, and he also complained of what was given him to eat. The LORD MAYOR said he had no doubt at all of the correctness of the poor man's account of Peckham, how ever insane he might he, and advised the Consul how to proceed to effect his liberation at once. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. T. M. Wheeler and John Whithorn were charged, yes terday, with assaulting William Rogers, in Dean-street. The complainant said he was passing the defendant Wheeler's door, in Dean-street, that morning about one o'clock, in company with his wife and a friend, when Wheeler grossly insulted him, and then knocked him down among some bricks and rubbish. Poltce-constable C 57, saw a crowd of about 50 per sons come out of a public-house about one o'clock, and the defendant Wheeler, after passing some way along the street, knocked the complainant down. When he had Wheeler in custody, the other defendant, Whit horn, attempted to rescue him. The constable said hero was a Chartist Society there, which met every Sunday evening, the members of which, after their meet ing, adjourned to the public-house, and created a great deal of disturbance in Dean-street every Sunday night and Monday morning. The defendant Wheeler said the prosecutor had charged him with robbing the funds of the society, and perhaps he was irritated, but he denied striking Iliat as had been stated. Mr. Haenweese—What are you? Wheeler—Secre• tars to a land society for the purchasing of allotments. The prosecutor denied having charged him with robbing the society. After hearing various witnesses, whose evidence did not seem to throw the least light on the subject, Mr. HAnDwlcs. said the violence made use of was not justifiable. lie fined the defendant Wheeler 4/., or one month in the House of Correction; and Whithorn, for the assault on the :police, 2/., or fourteen days in the House of Correction.

We had on offer to-day about 300 Beasts, 650 Sheep, and 10 Calves from abroad, in middling condition. With home-fed Beasts we were but moderately supplied. The few prime Scots on sale commanded a very ready sale, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, but the mid dling and interior breeds, which formed the bulk of the supply, were very dull, and somewhat lower. - From the northern districts we received 800 Shorthorns, from the western and midland counties 900 Herefords, 90 Devons, &c., and from other parts of England 500 of various breeds. The numbers of Sheep were moderately extensive, and of prime quality. The best old Downs sold at late rates, but all other breeds were quite 2d. per Blbs. lower.

Mr. MARTIN resumed the arguments in this case, which were in part heard on Saturday. The scheme in question was the Nottingham and Peterborough Junc tion Railway, which was provisionally registered on the 4th of Sept., 1845. On the 29th of the same month a prospectus of the company was registered, containing the name of Hopkins, the defendant, " Director of the Staffordshire Potteries and Manchester Direct Railway." On the loth of October a letter was addressed by the defendant to the secretary of the company, desiring him to allot him his full number of shares as a provisional committeeman. The order for the work was given to the plaintiff by the solicitor to the com pany, and this was given, he would contend, on the authenticity of the provisional committee, of which the defendant was a member. The questions left to the jury by the Lord Chief Baron, at the trial, were—First, did the members of the provisional committee acknowledge, by the insertion of their names in the prospectus, that they were to be responsible for those expenses, necessary for the formation of the company? Secondly, did the defendant authorise his name to be so used? Thirdly, did the defendant authorise his credit to be pledged for those expenses? Fourthly, was the work done on the credit of the defendant? He would now contend, in answer to those questions, that by the defendants placing. his name on the provisional com rnitttee, he became a mem ber of a quasi parnership, and that by doing so he had pledged himself for the payment of those expenses ne cessarily to be incurred under the 27th sec. of the 7tb and Bth Viet., and that the fact of his permitting his-- name to be used was evidence to go to the jury of his giving to the party ordering the goods authority to pledge his credit for the same, and further, that in per mitting his name to be inserted in the prospectus wa, sufficient proof, that he was willin to pledge him self for such expenses, and that the liability was nat thrust upon him against his consent. Mr. Baron PARKE—Is there any evidence to show that he had authorised his name to be inserted in the prospectus ? Mr. MARTIN—I apprehend there is, my Lord. Mr. Baron PARKE—A man may consent to be a member of a provisional committee, but it is a very dif ferent thing to give his consent to have his name go forth to the world upon a certain printed paper in con nexion with certain statements, such as are contained in the prospectus of this company. Mr. MARTIN—He had written letters to the secretary subsequently to his name appearing on the prospectw acknowledging the fact of his name appearing there, and made no objection to it. The Learned Counsel pro ceeded to quote a number of cases in support of his argument of the liability of provisional committeemen. Seven of the judges of Westminster hall had adopted that view of the question, juries had always taken the same view of it, and it would be going contrary to the commonest dictates of reason and understanding to dis pute the point at the present period. Mr. BARON PARKE-1S there any evidence to show that, by the parry permitting his name to be used in the prospectus of the company, he meant anything more than merely to recommend the scheme, or to say in effect this is a bona fide scheme, and not a mere bubble got up for improper purposes ? Mr. MARTIN—His name being in the list on the pro spectus is, in my opinion, an acknowledgment of his liabilty to bear his part of the expenses incurred prior to obtaining the Act of incorporation. Mr. WILLES was heard against the rule. Mr. WATSON than proceeded in support of the rule. There was no analogy between the case of a co-part nership and the case of a provisional committee, and the sole question with which the Court had to deal, was whether there was a contract between the plaintiff and defendant. And upon that he would say, that there was clearly no contract whatever, neither was there any evidence to show that he had given authority to any person to enter into any contract on his behalf. All the defendant ever did was to sanction his name being used as a provisional committeeman. lie never attended any meeting, and that for the best of all possible reasons—because there never had been any meeting. The order was given by the solicitor without communicating with the defendant, or either with any other member of the committee. It was well known that the solicitor had no power whatever to bind his client ; his business is to do certain work, for which be is to get paid by his client. The mere fact of being a provisional committeeman was not in itself sufficient to render a person liabk. It would be absurd to suppose, in the case of a committee appointed to adopt measures for obtaining a repeal of the corn-laws, or, as in the sister island , f or the re p eal of the union, that ' one member of the committee could bind another. There were numerous expenses required, such as parties advertising prizes for essays, &c.; but it surely could not be supposed that one member of a committee could offer 1,000/. for au essay, and by such offer make another member of the committee liable. A case was tried lately, in which a member of the Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews gave orders for a new translation t f the New Testament, but it was ruled that the committee was not liable. The COURT postponed their decision until the hearing of the other railway cases. WYLD V. SLOAN. Upon the trial in this case it appeared that the plaintiff was not in fact interested in the issue, he having merely lent his name to the managing committee, and that up wards of forty actions had been brought in his name by the solicitor, to compel some members of the provisional committee to pay their share of the expenses. A ver dict was returned for the plaintiff—Damages, one shilling. Mr. MARTIN now showed cause against the rule ob tained a few days since by Mr. noggins. his argu ments were not brought to a conclusion when the Court ose. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov 23. MACEY V. THOMAS. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS moved for a rule nisi for a new trial in this case, on the grounds that the verdict was against evidence and surprise. The action WKS tried last week at the Guildhall, and the Terdiet was for MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The November general sessions for the trial of offences committed within the district of Westminster, commenced yesterday at twelee o'clock. The grand jury having been sworn, the Assistant- Judge charged them very briefly, and after the lapse of a considerable time a true bill was sent in against Thomas Jones, who was indicted for stealing half-a crown and three shillings, the property of Mr. J. Well spring, chemist and druggist, of No. 3, Chandos-street, Charing-cross. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor and his apprentice, that on the 15th inst. the prisoner entered the shop while there was no person there, and, leaning over the counter, drew out the till, from which he took the above sum, and then ran away. He was, however, followed by the apprentice, who never lost sight of him until he was taken into custody, at the corner of Hen rietta-street, Covent-garden. The prisoner was coLvicted, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour, six weeks of which were to he solitary. Edward Bi s h op , a we ll-k nown pickpocket, was con victed of st ea li ng a s ilk h an dk erc hi e f from the person of Thomas Lock, and was sentenced to six months' impri sonment, with hard l a b our .

The justice-room was much crowded during the investigation, the prisoners being well known as successful thieves about town for many years, and having plundered innumerable countrymen of all the property they possessed. Mr. Robinson defended the prisoners. John Smith, who had been sent for to Scotland by the Lord Mayor, to give evidence, made the following state ment :--About four months ago I arrived in London from Melbourne, in Australia, and on the 13th of October I was robbed of all the money I had in the world in this manner. As I was going on that day up to Caroline-street, Bedford-square, from Mr. Hayes's, in the City, I was accosted by a person having the appearance of a gentleman. lie asked me the name of Lime-street, and I said, "I am sorry I cannot BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

GREAT WESTERN.—A great convenience and accom modation has just been provided at the Paddington terminus, by the appropriation of a waiting-room, well warmed and lighted, for second class passengers; who, until lately, had no place to wait in, until the departure of the trains, than in the open space were the tickets are issued. Similar accommodation has also just been pro vided by the company for passengers travelling by the third-class (Parliamentary penny-a•mile) trains. • NEW STATION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES AT CAMBRIDGE.—In consequence of the great increase of traffic o❑ this line, the station at Cambridge is found to be quite inadequate for the purposes for which it is required. The directors have, therefore, resolved to erect a splendid and commodious station, for which pur pose they have purchased upwards of fifty acres of land, which will be added to the site of the present station. _ . INCREASE OF CHARGES FOR LIVE STOCK ON THE NORFOLK AND EASTERN COUNTlES.—Considerable dis satisfaction exits, we understand, amongst the farmers and graziers of the district, at the new regulations issued by these companies, which are considered vexa tious and oppressive, besides increasing the cattle rates one-fourth in comparison with their former scale. A meeting of the fanning and grazing interests is to be held on Saturday next, at Norwich, to remonstrate on the matter. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN ON IRELAND.—The num ber of men employed on this line, week ending the 15th, was 4,140, and 358 horses. If the calculation be comet that 260,0001. are at present paid ptr week to labourers employed on railways in progress of construction, the sum total outlay per annum upon railway works alone approaches to some thing like fourteen millions. IVlonuxs AND ST. ETIENNE.—The project of the route of this line by Roanne is the subject of a com mission of inquiry in the department of Allier. The construction of this piece of line, which in itself does not exceed 62 miles, will afford an unbroken railway communication for Paris and Nantes with Lyons, The municipal council of Dijon have accepted the projet for the station which was proposed to them, and have voted the gratuitous surrender of the laad belonging to the town which may be necessary for the station. Some trifling modifications have been proposed, and it is expected that the works will be immediately com menced, in order to afford employment for the workmen of the town. • LYONS.—The question as to the spot for the station is not yet decided. The Minister of Public Works, ac• companied by the Under-Secretary .of State and the Prefect of the Seine, with several engineers, lately visited the ground. ".HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE."—Under this head the following paragraPh appeared in our impression of the 11th instant :—" The Limerick Chronicle gives the fol lowing particulars of this shocking affair Ennisty mon workhouse was visited with a calamitous occurrence this week. The deputy-master, Michael Walsh, re moved from the dining-hall two little children, a boy and a girl, for having quarrelled at table, and snatched one from the other a crust of bread. Hp placed them in the black-hole for punishment, and appears to have to tally forgotten them for two days, when their absence was remarked by other paupers, and, on opening the place of confinement, both children were found dead in each other's arms. The mister eas brought into Ennis in custody.' "—The story is a pure fabrication, from begin ning to end, without any foundation in fact whatever. THE FIRE AT GRAVESEND.—To our report of this calamity in The Sun of Saturday we have little more to add than that the amount of property now ascertained to be destroyed is far above the estimate then conjec tured. Some statements make it equal to 100,900/ ; arnOngst others, the Kentish Independent, a paper pub lished in the town, and likely to be well informed ort the subject. The insurance is, in proportion to this esti mated loss, very smell, not being, as we have been as sured, more than 25,0001. at the utmost. A great num ber of houses in the High-street and West-street, not enumerated in our report, are, as now appears, very materially damaged. There is, as we learn, a meeting of the corporation to be held on Wednesday, to devise measures for the future protection of the borough against the occurrence of similar calamities. An efficient fire brigade and engines are sp .ken of as a precaution, but it is, we fear, not very likely that such will be sanctioned by the corporate body, unless ti - e insurance offices give their cordial support to the proposition, if made and entertained. The conduct of some of the sol diers in the course of the night of the fire is very strongly animadverted on by the inhabitants; but such was the confusion, or rather consternation predomnat ing throughout the awful scene, that much excuse may be made for the soldiers as well as civilians engaged in the work of apparent protection of property. In the progress of useful work of actual protection, the sol diers generally were active, and their commander, Co lonel Kelly, was indefatigable in his exertions to preserve life and property. Such acknowledgment is due to that gallant and humane soldier. Mr: Mc Donell (from the Gambia) had an interview with Earl Grey, yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. E.
