EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY AND STRATFORD MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. The first public meeting of this recently formed society wes held on Thursday evenint.,. in a large room connected with the railway works at Stratford. Mr. D. Waddington, M.P., presided, and was supported by a number of gentlemen connected with the rail way and the town of Stratford. The room was elegantly decorated for the occasion with flap, banners, and evergreens, and was brilliantly illumi nated with gas in various devices. The report of the committee stated that there were now 241 contribu tors to the funds of the institution, including 20 honorary members, at the head of w ho m were Mr. Waddington, M.P., and Mr. Pet o, The com mittee were indebted to the directors of the railway for the use of a temporary building, in which the reading-rooms and library were conducted. These had been opened on the 28th of November; the ave rage number of persons using the rooms had been between 30 and 40 per daY ; the average number of volumes in circulation from the lending library was 100. The library contained 960 volumes. Three rooms of the building were devoted for reading-rooms, w hich were well supplied with daily and weekly papers and periodicals. Already 48 persons had given in their names as wishing to join classes of instruction; those for drawing and writing were in o peration; others were about being coin menceel for dramatic reading and music. The Chairman, after remarking on the value and importance of literary and scientific institu tions generally, said it was most essential at this moment that correct views should be disseminated amongst the working classes on their duties to themselves, their families, and their neighbours. Their duty was not to combine for the particular benefit of this or that class, bat for the general welfare of all. As Ilkley advanced in knowledge, which the facilities held out by this institution would enable them to do, their views on these questions would become clearer and more defined. Now that an agitation on the question of labour was spreading through the country, he thought it right to remark that it was the duty neither of the employers to combine to deprive their men of employ, nor of the men to combine to take em ployment from others. It was the right of both clams to make the best bargain they could for them selves. There was a spirit abroad calculated to in terfere with the rights of labour, and, by conse quence, with the duties which a man owed to his fa mily. This institution was eminently calculated to promote peace and goodwill amongst them all; for the cultivation of science andliterature was eminently con ducive to Coil end. The committee of the institueien were chiefly working men, who bed no end in view but the promotion of their own and their fellows' welfare. By their exertions a new building would probably soon be raised for the institution, in which object he, as chairman of the Eistern Counties Railway, should be happy to aid. Sill the success of the society must depend on the exertions of the members themselves. Let them recollect the brilliant ex ample of George Stephenson, once in as humble a position as tbeinselves, who, by his stupen dous engineering works, had earned for himself imperishable renown, and shed an unfailing Instro on the mechanical class at large.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. Holloway briefly addressed the meeting. Mr. W. B. Adams (who was stated to have made a donation of 867 valuable books to the library) said he had always been EICIIOII3 that every workman should have a fair day's wage for a fthr day's work, and that his workmen should possc-.;53 the means of r.cquiring bALving they vv , 1214 be all the better for it. The hooks he had presented to this institution had been need - by his own workmen up to the time of his establishment at being broken up; and considering that he only held them as a trustee, he had handed 'them over to this institution, whose objects were similar. He tru? , t2d :,ee the day when'employers and employed would be avowedly what they intrinsically were— aidera and a...sisters of each other.—(Cheers.) A cncert of vocal and instruments: music followed. THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE During the controversy that has now been so ninny weeks pending between the machine manufac turers and their employes, the ieterests of one class of men, though terribly implicated in the result of the straggle, appear to have been totally overlooked. Nothing has been sail, and little seems to have been tkough! - , by either peaty of the "nor-society men." Yec the fate that was to overtake these work men ougnt surely to hare found piece is the discus sion. In number they were greater—it is said in the proportion of more than two to one—than the mem bers of the Amalgamated Society - ; in skill they were not inferior ; and their desdoics were equally bound up with the general prosperity and continuance of empleyment, or rather, indeed, fir more se, since they could not in time of destitution fall back upon the supplies contained in that military cites`, whose stored treasure so much encouraged the pertinacity of Mr. Newton's disciples. The Amalgamated Society having personal objects to gain ; having vanity and consistency at stake ; and having, who known? some dazzling prospect in view of securing to themselves the masters' share of profit in addition to their own, by some to-be-invented device for newly " organising labour,"—naturally enough ignored the claim and looked very un feelingly on the sufferings of their fellow-workmen. There has, in fact, for a long time been something more than coldness, between the two classes. The members of the society were piped at the refusal of their companions to cast in their lot with them ; and the "unattached" workmen vtewed the proceedings of the society with the natural fear and dislike which all must feel when men in all respects their equals assume the possession of exclusive rights and inter ests. We were consequently in no way surprised to find that neither Mr. Newton in his speeches, nor the Amalgamated Society by their acts, testified the slightest regard for the companions whose very sub sistence they were compromising. We were, however, :both surprised and grieved to find that the employers testified an equal unconcern. The non-society men were void of offence towards them. Nay, by declining to become member!, by ab senting themselves from the meeting s, and with holding t h e i r s i gnatures fr o m the manifestoes of the executive council, they had decidedly deserved well ot Of the ma s ter manufacturers. Ye t, thou g h not associated w i t h th e crime of the Amalga mated Sual%ty, they have borne more tha n their share of visited with t rnishment.

At Lambeth, a • resolution en ' Tea, recently held in men to use every effort in jt(hineithg the non-society amicable settlement of the an amendment, pledging t, acce p t rejected, and nuestriepower to favour an them Society, " nothing less than the Amalgamated dc," . was carried unanimously. Prudence as wel l as kindness mi g h t have impelled found the the employe rs to make some distinction between mem b e rs and non -. m-mbers when th ey con t rov ersy with the Amalgamated Society comingto extremities. T he fact that a good t wo - t hi rds of the hands had given no adhesion to the pronuncie rnento against piece-wort: and overtime, was at on ce most gratifying in itself, andafforded the masters a ready means of keeping all he operations fully going, or nearly so, while p rov i ng their p er f ec t independence of all dictation from the ler harsh feelings men.

Closing their workshops. inexorably and indefinitely, they have involved in suffering vast multitudes who have never deservedmat e it, S and have, besides, afforded to the Amalga d an immediate triuratk in the consciousness of having caused all the mischief they threatened and hoped to inflict. Even now, we hope, it is not too late for the em ployers to rescind their determination. Why should not (be firms whose vast forges in London and Man chester are now cold and silent, re-open their doors to the hands who have never belonged to, or will abjure, the Amalgamated Society ?

FRENCH ASPECT OF TH E "STRIKE." The Dibets pu'olishes the following letter from IL J. D• Coninck, an eminent liavre merchant, and recommends it to the serious attention of the Govern ment :—" Havre, Jan. 17, 1852.—Y0u have already informed your readers of the serious conflict that has arisen in England between the operative engineers, founders, and boiler-makers, and ma chine manufacturers. It is very probable that the important branch of industry in England which consists in the construction of machines is about to undergo extensive perturbations. Why should not France endeavour to succeed to a la r g e slice of this rich inheritance ? Nothing would be easier. It only requires a simple decree aut horisin g our manufacturers to make use of brass, iron, and pit coal in bond, that is to say free of duty, for all machi nery destined for exportation. We should at once see all those countries which now send their orders for machines to England come to France for them, for they have had an opportunity of seeing in the London Exhibition what our makers are capable of doing. The former Government authorised the use of cast metal in bond for the co nstruction of machinery des tined for exportation ; but this timid concession was altogether insufficient. Boilers, which play so large a part in machinery, are not made with cast metal, but with thin plates, and iron to rivet them, and this causes a waste, which must be taken in consi deration in the duty. Now that we have a Govern. ment which has only to will to be able to perform, to call its attention to the fact that I have pointed out, will doubtless be all that can be necessary to turn the circumstances to the profit of France. The subject is urgent, and very urgent ; for if our fac tories do not at once resume all the activity which it would be so easy to bring back to them, it is evi dent that the English manufacturers, tired of lying idle, will take away our workmen, and thus bring ourindustry to a lower state than it is at present." TIIE S UN, SOCIETY OF ARTS. Professor Edward Solly delivered on Wednesday evening one of the series of lectures in connexion with the Great Exhibition, at the Society of Arts, John ereet, Adeiphi, on the vegetable substances used in the arts and manufactures in relation to commerce generally. In his prefatory remarks he defined raw produce as the state in which the substance is employed by the manufacturer ; for in this state it was the raw matter on which be worked, although it might have undergone many processes to bring it to that condition. In the different classes of raw produc tions the best substances were not always used, nor were the best means for preparing them followed. He referred this to many caus es—to the tenacity with w hich we hold received ideas , t o combination in the trade, to the ignorance of the manufacturer, to the want of practical application in the man of science, the want of direct communication between the first producer and the manufacturer, instead of the present system of middlemen, by whom every new thing was looked on with distrust, and, in consequence, many a new substance was sent back as useless to the pro ducer, as not being of any value in the market. Mr. Solly then drew attention to the various sp?nies of gums and resins, particularly one from New South Wales, which might he used as A substitute for shell lac, known as black boy gum, and the cowdrie resin from New Zealand. He mentioned the ' bid ,quality of shell lac and ceoutchouc sent home, through the carelessness of the collectors, and the necessity there might be to find substitutes for these and others. They would he surprised at the yin 1 number of vegetable oils used, among same hundred varieties. The palm and cocoanut oils were much used in the manufacture of candles, and he enu merated a great many solid vegetable tallowy and wax, of which specimens were shown, which might be most valuable. The myrtle .wax, a specimen from China, and others, were instanced. He then passed on to the fluid fixed oils and the volatile oils, those obtained from the destructive distillation of barks of trees, of which the birch oil used in the prepsralon of Russian leather was a well-known exsmple. The different substances for dyeing were next reviewesi., and in this he considered that chemistry might be media greatly available in concentrating dyes from those substances where it was accompanied by much woody fibre, and thereby bringing many valuable ones into use which now were not available, from the expense of freight, &c. The chay root was a very important dye root. The i next class con sidered was fibrous materials , including cotton, hemp, &c. He B raised Mr. Mercer's process, which cewisted of soaking the cotton material in caustic soda. Tne octien of this was to strengthen the fibre, for it changed its form frhm a fiat tube to a cylin drical oee. It dielaished it in size, but it took much inure colour in dying. A . specimen was shown of the ssme dye applied to a piece of cotton f a b r i c , p a rt of which had been soaked in the solution, in which the difference of colour was so perceptible that it could distinctly be seen across the room. Wile re gerd to flax and hemp, he instanced Schenk's process of steeping the plant in but water as an improvement on the rotting system, but still only a step in the right way, and meutioned the many valuable fibres, the cocoanut, China grass, Rajmal, or bowstring hemp, jute, plantain, and others, that might be largely em ployed. Of wood:and timber there were 10,000,000 cubic feet imported annually, and out of the nu merous descriptions known only eight were used in shipbuilding, the English, live, and African oaks, ironwood, morning caul, greenheart, Morab, and Eau Indian teak. The Morah had only been added to the list within the last six months. He mentioned that in the Exhibition were two sections of the ironwood (Eucalyptus), one 6 feet, and the other 3 feet in diameter, the one cut at 14 feet, and the other at 135 feet above the ground, just above the first branch. In his concluding remarks he showed that the want of progress in the knowledge of substances and their application to the arts was owing to people being employed\ in dis cov.ering wh a t h a d b een already found ou t ; b u t which, owing to the want of a good system of informa tion, was not known. As an instance of this, he men tioned that by the records of the society many fibres and oils were mentioned as receiving attention 50 years ago, which now they were only just again bearing of, and that 75 years ago, by the same records, it was proved that Lady Moira used precisely the same method as that employed now in Claussen's preparation of flax -cotton. With regard to a Mus e um of Industry, he said the idea was not a new one. For thirty years the Commis s i oners o f F ac t or i es i n A ustr i a h a d esta blished one, and he suggested that the Society of Arts, having already a good co lle c ti o n, should undertake the formation of a trade museum, which would be of the greatest benefit to the world.

LAW IN TELLIGEN CE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 23. 'Sittings in Banco, before Lord CastraELL and Justices PATTESON, COLIMIDON, and WIGHTAIANO THE, MARQUIS OF SALISBURY V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case the plaintiff was tenant for life of certain lands in the county of Hertford, to whom notice had been given, on the 21st of May, 1851, that the lands in ques tion would be required for the purposes of the Great Northern Railway. The company's Act was passed on the 26th of June, 1846, and provided that the company's powers for the compulsory purchase of land should not be exercised after the expiration of five years after the passing of the Act. That period, accordingly, expired on the 26th of June, 1851. The notice that the lands would be required bad been given on the 21st of May preceding, and the company had taken all the steps which were necessary to enable them to enter, but before they had actually entered the 26th of June arrived, after which date, according to the Act, the company's com pulsory power for purchasing land could not be exer cised. The company having expressed their intention to enter and take possession of the lands, the plaintiff applied to the Court of Chancery, by bill, for an injunc tion to restrain them from so doing, and th a t C our t directed this case to be stated for the opinion of this Court, as to whether the company, in July, after the time for the compulsory purchase had expired, had a right to enter upon the lands comprised in their notice of the 21st of May. Mr. Bramwell, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Shapter), on a previous day argued the case on the part of the plaintiff. Mr. Phipson (with whom was Mr. H. Bill) was now heard on the part of the company, Mr. SHAPTER having replied, Lord CAMPBELL said the case had been very fully and ably argued, and, as the attention of the Court had fre quently been directed to these words contained in the Act of Parliament, and the decisions which had been pronounced upon them, he (Lord Campbell) thought the Court might now, with safety and propriety, express their opinion. The question was, whether the defend ants, in the month of July last, had the right to take the lands comprised in their notice of the 21st of May preceding. In deciding that question the Court must look at the state of facts as they existed at that time, 1 viz., in July. Notice had been given by the company on the 21st of May that the lands would be required, and it was not disputed that all the proceedings required by the 85th section to enable the company to enter and take possession had been complied with. It was not disputed that all these proceedings were perfectly regular. But it appeared that the company had Ira , entered before the period pointed out by the 27th section of the special Act, which required that the powers of the promoters of the undertaking for the compul sory purchase of lands should not be exercised after the expiration of five years from the passing of the Act. 'the company tad nut catered before the expiration of the five years. The question was whether they had a right to enter. It had been already decided by the Court, is " Doe dem. Armisted v. the North Staffordshire Railway Company," that if the company had entered within the time an action of ejectment could not be main tained to turn them out. The Court had now to con sider what was the effect of omitting to make such entry before the expiration of the five years. The question was whether the entry was one of the " compulsory powers" which the Act said should not be exercised after the five years. In his (Lord Campbell's) opinion, it was not. The power of entry was the power of completing the purchase, and was not a power of compulsory pur chase. The power of compulsory purchase had been completed within the five years. From the peculiarity of these transactions, it was sometimes necessary to use words respecting them which did not properly belong to them. There was no purchase nor any contract, properly so called; but the Legislature placed the com pany in the same situation as if there had been. In " Osborne's case" it had been decided that, so far ' as the landowner was concerned, he was in the same position after receiving notice as if a contract had been made for the purchase of the land, and he could compel the company to complete the purchase, though the five years had expired. The decision in that case had been affirmed by the Court of Exchequer Chamber, and it was held that the parties were placed in the position of vendor and purchaser, and the vendor could compel the company to go on and complete t he purchase. It might, however, have been the intention of the Legislature that the rights of the parties shou ld no t be reciprocal. There was, however, nothing in t he A ct wast shownot reciprocal i whole Legislature did not consider there was no purchase till when h transaction had been concluded, but that created. In support of this view o _ the majority of the the authority of Lord Cottenh am and 1 a s that of the theand easwnotice had been,given the relation of vendorcase there was purchaser was f Court of Exchequer Chamber i n England . Both upon reason Court o a f nd S a e o ss t i h o o n ri i t n y, Scotland therefore, , as w and take the land.

He did not deny being liable to those of the creditors whose debts were contracted during his partnership, to the extent of about 8001. ; but he assumed all the liabili ties by virtue of a covonant given him by French. Mr. Persoy Stace proved examining the books of the firm, before Mr. Shaw leaving. and discovered him to be a debtor in a sum amounting to between 3,0001. and 4,0001.

The account was since reduced to 15,0001. or 16,0001., by deducting from it the result of a private account be tween Shaw and French, the balance of which was in favour of the former. Letters were produced as evidence of the existence of Abel Wood, the acceptor of the bill in question. Mr. LAWRANCE said that the house had been carried on by Mr. French and his father for upwards of 50 years, and was a most respec!ahle one; that there was no less than 10.0001. of assets; that at the time of the failure a large amount wasstanding in the bank to the credit of Mr. French—more, in fact, than sufficient to pay Wood's bill, upon which 2s. 6€l. is the pound had been paid by Wood himself. The failure was attributable to the com petition which coal merchants had to sustain from the railway companies. Mr. BAGLEY submitted that Sands should receive a first-class certificate. He bad brought into the concern a capital of 5,0001., and, with the exception of 2,0001. due to the firm on a promissory note, the debts would be paid in full. After some further discussion, His HoNoun said he would look through the evidence, and give judgment on Saturday week. Judgment deferred accordingly. .11V sOLVENT DEBTO RS' COURT, J an , 23. (Before Mr. Comm i ssioner PHILLIPS.) BREACHES OF TRUST BY A STOCICEROREEO—IN BE ALFRED BAYLEY. _ _ _ This insolvent, of Lothbury, stockbroker and railway share dealer, applied to be discharged from prison. Mr. Dowse opposed for Mr. Corbin Robert Corbin, a farmer at Christchurch, Hampshire, and Mr. Parnell for a Mr. Freer. A female, named Susan Piper, appeared in person. Mr. Cooke supported. The complaint on the part of the opposing creditors was, that the insolvent had committed breaches of trust against them. It appeared that he was a bankrupt in 1842, and obtained his certificate; he now owed 4631., and had 5071. owing to him, which were all bad debts on railway speculations. In 1838 he was employed as stock broker to invest between 3001. and 4001, for Mr. Corbin, and had a power of attorney to receive the dividends, as he resided in the country, and he was requested to in vest the dividends with the principal. He now admitted that from 1842 to 1851 he received the dividends, and did not invest them, but applied them to his own uses. He had rec e ived, according to his own showing, 921. Bs. 9d. in dividends, which he had not invested. Last year Mr. Corbin gave instructions that the principal and accumulations should be sold out, and it was then discovered that for nine years the dividends had not been invested. Mr. Corbin sued the insolvent, and he was now in prison at his suit. It was stated that Mr. Corbin was not in court to give evidence. Mr. Freer gave the insolvent in 1824, 241. to invest for him in the funds; he discovered when he went to the Bank for his dividends that the money had not been invested. He complained to the insolvent, and he had paid him at dif ferent times 9/. off the originll sum. Mr. Commissioner Pinwales said there was a clear breach of trust with respect to Freer, but the question was whether the subsequent payments had not condoned the offence. A receipt for the money was put in, having an official appearance. Mr. CuMMISSIOHer PHILLIPS inspected the document, and said its appearance was likely to lull an inexpe rienced person t o sleep. Mr. Freer sa id he was aware when he received the money from the insolvent, that the money bad not been invested; he received the 91., not for interest, but QS a part of the principal. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS intim! el that the sum had been converted into a debt; at all events, the breach of trust had been condoned. Susan Piper claimed 6/. 10s, the balance of 101. g i ven to the insolvent in 1846 to invest in the Funds. She was a servant at Eton College at the time. She was now married. Mr. COOKE objected to her evidence. Mr. Comraiseioner PHILLIPS declared that ho should receive her evidence under the new Act. He was satis fied that the Legislature intended wives to be witnesses. Mr. CooKE remarked that the Lord Chancellor had expressed a different opinion. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS could not see how an ob jection, or the want of an objection, could make any difference in the examination of a wife. Several learned judges had allowed wives to be examined as witnesses, and he should do so until an alteration was made either in the law itself or in the practice of the superior courts. The complainant stated that she gave the insolvent 201. to invest in the Funds, and did not know that it was not invested until s year and a half afterwards. When she found it out the insolvent told her he was very sorry and would give it to her back. She had received dif ferent sums from him. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said the case was similar to Freer's. He could not see how there was an existing breach of trust on which the poor woman could require a judgment. Mr. Dowses contended that he had established a clear case of a breach of trust. The insolvent was required to invest the dividends for Mrs. Corbin, but for nine s own y e ars had received them and applied them to hi s uses. Mr. PARNELL was heard on the part of Freer, urgin g that notwithstandiug the receipt of money , s till a clear breach of trust by the there was re spect to the balance. i nsolvent with Mr. CooKE for the insolvent, was proceeding to con tend that the case of Mr. Corbin was not proved; that he had not been called. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he tiae,of o pinion that it was cle 4rly proved; but if attendance of that creditor Mr. Cooke desired the case might be adjourned . d the Mr. CooKE declined au adjournment. Alter a n opinion so expressed n i e t would be useless for him to ad dress the Court. Mr • C om mission Co mmissio ner PHILLIPS begged the Learned address the Court. Mr. C0 2 ° ,1" was heard for the insolven t. After the money paid to the two other complainant s there could oe no ease for a breach of trust. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS gave judgment. observed that the insolvent was opposed by three diffe rent parti ,, s on grounds savouring of fraud, all of which had be en cl ea rly and abundantly p roved ; but in tw o of the cases, f rom peculiar circumstances, the legal grounds were net established, and therefore the Ceurt wool i such e e r n c circum stance c u n only give a judgment as far as they we re un der the diteretionary clause. Perhaps u stance would be of little advantage to him, as the ot her case of 'Mr. Corb in wee? so clearly mad e out, possessing no mitigation, that the Court was bound to give an ade quate judgment for the breach of tru st committed The n u ture of the offence was the cruelles i t to he magined— that of b rea ch of trust. Although he was saved - _ from the penalty in two instances, no one could doubt that the case of the poor woman wh') had saved her hard earnings was a cruel one-. Breaches 0 , _ whether commitiel by a rust were flags ant cases rerson who was required by , a friend t a dying man as his children, or by a person in his station, who had deluded the parties by a receipt having the appearance of a document from the Bank. His Honour concluded an impressive address to th e in solvent by gdjUd g i ug him to an imprisonment, under (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) the discretionary clause, of six months, and for twelve IN RE FRENCH AND SANDS. calendar months at the suit of Mr. Corbin, for contracting These bankrupts, coal merchants of the Coal Exchange his debt by means of a breach of trust. and of Chatham, came up on the question of certificate, supported by Mr. Lawrence. The balance-sheet ex tended only over four months, end showed these re sults:—Unsecured creditors, 9.3134; creditors secured, 2,2581.; liabilities, 32,900/. The assets were returned— good debts, 5.573/. (of which 4,2201. has been collected); property expected to realise 1,4021.; property held by creditors, 2,6951. The profits had been 1,2844; capital of French, 13,0001.; ditto of Sands, 3,000/ 4 trade ex penses, 4,2371.; drawn out by French, 5081. ; b y S an d e, 123/.; losses by bad debts, 4,954/. It appeared from the report of the official assignee that the bankrupts had only been in partnership since May, 1851. Sands had brought in 3,0001. The capital of French consisted principally of bills, some of which had turned out to be bad. Mr. Lawrance supported French. Mr. Cumpton said that the assignees were satisfied with the bankrupts' conduct since their bankruptcy. They had given every possible assistance to the estate, and he did not oppose. Mr. BAGLEY (who supported Sands) stated that he opposed French on behalt of the London Joint-Stock Bank, who had discounted bills for French at the ordi nary rate of interest, believing them to be regular trade bills, a large amount of which bills were in the hands of the bank shortly before the bankruptcy. French bad been summoned to this court in August, when he paid 8001.; but at the date of the failure the bank held 1,4951. of dishonoured bills; one of which, it appeared, had been obtained from a clerk of the bankrupts, named Shaw, who, he alleged, had embezzled 1,6001., which the bankrupt French had thought proper to treat as a debt, accepting Shaw's bill for the amount, and still employ ing him. It appeared from the examination of French that Shaw had been in his service about a year. He never acknowledged Shaw as a partner, and did not consider that they had had partnership transactions after April, when the discovery of the embezzlement (as alleged) had been proved. A deed of dissolution was signed. He did not know that it contained a release of all his claims on Shaw—be would not swear that it did not. Mr. CIIMPTON said he had seen the deed, and it did contain a release. Mr. Shaw, who was voluntarily examined by Mr. Bagley, said he was manager of the London business, with one-half the profits. He had been connected with the firm of French, Son, and Co., from August,lBso, till April, 1851. Upon dissolving partnership, at French's request, he gave witness a letter stating that he had no further claim upon him. At that time he was not in debted to French a sixpence, neither was he at the date of the bill, the 26th of July. The bill Mr. French said he had received from him he never saw betore. The bill referred to purported to be drawn upon Mr. Abel Wood, whom he never saw, by Mr. Baxter, of the Nettles worth colliery. Was not in the habit of getting bills from Mr. Baxter to get discounted. Upon being charged with a deficiency on the face of the accounts to the amount of 4,000/, witness wished to go through the accounts, and an accountant was called in. He then received a letter from French, of which the following is POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Al A NSION-HOUS E. Mr. Francis W. Stevens, of the Stock Exehar Ige, was on Thursday summoned before Sir John Key for having used language towards the complainant calcu hated to lead to a breach of the peace, iu the presence, i d other persons, in the neighhourhcod of that building. Mr. James Alfred Temple, who stated that b .0 was a commission-agent, was sworn. The defendant produced the card of the corn) slainant, to show that the latter had appeared in the cha :actor of a sworn broker, without having any claim to t Ire privi lege conferred by the Court of Aldermen. Sir JOHN KEY stated that the pretence allu , led to by the defendant was one relating to which a r sagistrate had no jurisdiction, and that in another trib anal such matter was recognised and subjected to heav 7 punish ment It was, therefore, necessary to prod la d in the usu3l course with the evidence in support of the com plaint. The complainant then said that on the a fternoon 'of Saturday as he was passing through Hermit ss-passa ge, near the Stock Exchange, he saw the defends nt on one side of the passage, and for the purpose of prevaating any meeting between them passed over to the other side. The defendant, however, approacl red him, looked rudely into his face, took bold 1 . of the front of his coat, acted unwarrantly in other • respects, and used the most opprobrious and offensive langusg° towards him. The language consisted of epithets, amongst which was " You are a thief," and it was ac companied with threats, of which some opin ion might be formed from the fact that the defendant de :dared the intention with an oath to knock his teeth lowa his throat and tar his face if be dared to appear near the place again. The complainant assured the Alderman that all he wished was to be protected from insult, so that he might pursue his avocation without int srruption. The defendant said he readily admitted th at be had used language imputing dishonesty to the cot splainant, but he certainly felt a perfect justification in adopting the use of the words, as the complainant had a cted in so gross a manner in certain share transactions as to be handed over by the Court of Aldermen to the legal at tentions of the City solicitor, who was at thi present moment dealing with the case. The defeni lant here produced a newspaper which he said contained t t full and true account of the Stock Exchange transaction a Sir JOHN Ksir said that the course stated to 1 rave been pursued by the complainant upon the occssior r. alluded to could not justify the conduct of the defendant ; who, if he bad matter of complaint of any kind, might I L ave ap pealed to a tribunal qualified to exercise the re equisite authority and g ive the necessary redress. The defendant was then required to enter into , his own recognisance for the sum of 501. to keep the 1? eace to• wards the complainant for the space of three t calendar months. BANK OF ENGLAND.
