We have watched Turkey mustering, the whole force of the Ottoman empire, drawing auxiliary battalions from her most remote Pachaiics, from Egypt, from Da mascus, from Haleb, from Bagdad, and from Armenia, and congregating them all near the Golden Horn of the Bosphorus previously to marching them north wards through Roumelia to the Danube. We have watched the spread of popular ambition from Mol davia and Wallachia to the Podolian and Tran sylvanian provinces. We have observed Gal licia, at last, startled into activity by the triumphs of the Polish Generals. We have seen the legions of the AUTOCRAT pressing forward in earnest to the aid of Austria; and have recognised on the other hand the resolute attitude assumed by the French democrats in the defence of their own Republican institutions, and in their sympathy for the true liberties of contemporary nationalities. Meanwhile Germany has passed on, comparatively speaking, unnoticed. Occasionally fhe attention of Englishmen has been fixed upon her for an instant when intelligence has arrived to the effect that Baden has risen in arms, or that the Saxons have driven their Monarch from his capital, or that Dresden is in the hands of a Provisional Government. Yet, now-a-days, revolutions have become such matters-of-course that we are almost in the same state of mind as the hero in Mr. BOURCICAULT'S farce, who looked down the crater of Vesuvius and declared, shrugging his shoulders, that there was " nothing in it." We read down the list of a Provisional Government with the same air of ennui and come to the conclusion, shrugging our shoulders, that there is "nothing in it." Saving and excepting these momentary glances at the events which have of late oc curred in Germany, the gaze of the majority of our countrymen, has, of late, we are satisfied, been turned in totally different directions. Considering, however, that the whole of the onward movement of the Confederation has been impeded by a variety of recent obstructions and difficulties, we think it would be only just in those who have in any way sympa thised in the commencement of that movement to examine into those casualties which have latterly threatened to prevent its successful termination. The old evil has again sprung into existence. State is being marshalled against state. Jealousies which had been for a while nearly extinguished have been fanned into a flame from their warm ashes. The feeling which ruined the cause of NAPOLEON in Spain, where each of his Marshals refused to become subordinate to the other, thereby splitting the French army into divisions, and allowing them to be over come piecemeal by the English and Spaniards under WELLINGTON—has begun to affect the members, and destroy the cause of the German Confederation. None of the kingdoms or principalities will consent to waive their claims for precedence; political, geo graphical, and even religious feuds are revived ; and by this means the strength of the democratic majority is being frittered away by an ingenious intrigue on the part of the aristocratic minority. We repeat—of the aristocratic minority; for we are satisfied that the whole of the recent differences are attributable to " the Bureaucratie, the recipients of the public expenditure," who see in the estrange ment of the various principalities the one from the other the only available means of preventing that combination which would deprive them at once of their provincial pay, power, and import ance. This is the traitorous hand which has been furtively thrust into the delicate mechanism of the nascent Government of United Germany, dis arranging all those exquisite portions which had been fitted together with such laborious caution and such elaborate ingenuity. In a letter addressed, during the course of the pre sent May, to her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary by the Honourable Baronet the Representative of Bed ford,* there occur one or two of those home sentences which display more vividly than a thousand of the subtlest arguments the right of Germany to struggle for her unity as a nation. In answer to those who sneer, at the present movement as akin to the chase of an ignis fatuus, or of a mirage, or of a fata rnorgana, Sir HARRY VERNEY simply remark. that the people of Germany remember " that Germany was a.. —„ c h one country under CHARLES V., as France under 7 sr 1-1-OrMaiS are in many respects taking the lead in European civilization, and are they alone to be deprived of constitutional government? Spain, and Portugal, and Sweden, and Norway, and now Denmark, have representative constitutions (and he might have said Greece), as well as France and Britain, and will Germany be content without them ?" But yet later he gives the strongest reason of all—this: "Out of Germany, a man born between the Alps and the Baltic is known only as a German. Why," he in quires, " should not all Germans have a common fatherland at home as well as abroad 2" Why ? The question is asked by forty millions—inhabitants of Germany ! The answers of the reactionists are their intrigues. Shall the movement therefore be ineffec tual? GOD forbid. Germany has declared itself for unity: unity shall be to Germany I On Monday we directod the public attention to the vigorous exertions now making throughout the entire country for the attainment of the social and political reforms so urgently required by the great body of the people. The Metropolitan Financial and Par liamentary Reform Association have put forward a programme of the legislative alterations for which they are prepared to agitate, and these alterations are sufficiently extensive to ensure the active co-opera tion of every true reformer. The first point insisted on is the extension of the elective franchise to many of those who are now wholly unrepresented, who are mere political cyphers, without any voice in the enactment of the laws by which they are to be govei ned and controlled. Such persons have indeed but too much reason to complain of the injustice ex hibited towards them. They contribute largely to the national expenditure, not only to the maintenance and support of the public establishments, but also to the interest of a debt contracted before they were born, and for which they received no valuable consideration. Their labour was mortgaged be fore they came into the world, and not a single day passes, not even a meal can be taken, that a portion of the earnings of their honest industry is not absorbed in providing for the expenses of the State. It has been said that there can be no "just taxation without representation." The truth of the assertion has never been controverted, and yet, under the present system of indirect imposts, the humblest labourer, the hardest worked operative is bound to pay far more than his proportion of the public burdens, while his claim to the elective franchise is superciliously and contemptuously rejected. The prices of tea, of sugar, of tobacco, of beer, and of other humble luxuries, that have almost become necessaries of life, are enormously increased by the Customs and Excise duties. Forty or fifty per cent. of his earnings are expended in the additional charges thereby occasioned, but he is not permitted to have a voice in the election of those by whom the national expenditure is controlled and regulated. A comparison of the number of registered voters with the actual population in the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, will exhibit this anomaly in the strongest light, will afford the strongest illustration of the multitudes that are thus excluded from the privileges and rights that should belong to every free-born citizen in a free country. The copulation of the United Kingdom amounts in round numbers to nearly twenty-eight millions of persons ; of England and Wales to more than sixteen millions ; of Scotland to nearly three millions, and of Ireland to nearly nine millions. The number of registered electors for that vast body amounts to but little more than a single million, that is to say, there is but one person possessing a vote for the election of a popular repre sentative out of every twenty-eight throughout the country, and this proportion will be still further re duced, if the number of those who are registered twice or oftener in different counties, be taken into consideration. The mere fact will, however, appear sufficiently startling without entering into more minute calculations, by which the disparity may be Otivning LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1849. While the general attention has been attracted to wards almost every other quarter of the globe, Ger many, for the time being almost unobserved, has been gradually sinking into an abyss of difficulties. During the last month our observations have been necessarily absorbed by those more startling events which have illustrated the current history of both hemispheres. We hive witnessed the rise of Hungary to inde pendence, her children conquering the oppressors of their country, and, to use the noble words of ARMAND MARRAST, inscribing their rights upon the bulle tins of their victories. We have seen the victor of Sobraon successful in accomplishing what the victor of Arbela had only ineffectually attempted. We have seen the tranquillity of Canada interrupted, and her loyalty insulted, by riots fomented by men beggared in reputation, and without even the shadow of, a grievance to palliate the crime of rebellion. W e have seen the ancient monarchy of Denmark battling for the integrity of its dominions in the peninsula of Jutland, and threatening the seaports of Pomerania with the fleets c the Daltic. We have seen Spain * " Some Observations on the Affairs of Germany, in a Letter addressed to the Right Hon. Viscount Palmer ston." By Sir Harry Verney, Bart., M.P. Bvo., pp. 12. James Ridgway, London; 1849. exhibited in even a more striking light. It is true that women and children are included in the twenty-eight millions above re ferred to, but the adult males may be fairly estimated at one-fourth of the entire num ber, or seven millions. Here, then, we find at least six persons excluded for every cne entitled to the elective franchise, and amongst them will be found many as fully qualified by education and general in telligence, by the possession cf liberal opinions and sound patriotic views, as any that could be produced even from among the ranks of the hereditary legis' lators. These parties now call upon their more favoured brethren to aid them in a peaceful and constitutional agitation for the attainment of their political rights that have hereto fore so unjustly been withheld. The act will carry with it its own reward. The infusion of additional popular strength into the Legislature will speedily remove the various abuses that have sprung up during successive centuries. If a full and fair representation of the people were once achieved, the nation would not long suffer under the e vils by which it is now afflicted. It would not call in vain for fiscal, financial, or monetary reform. The association does not at present demand a uni versal suffrage ; it does not insist upon every inhabitant of the country being entitled to the elective franchise. Education has not as yet, perhaps, been sufficiently diffused to qualify every man to form a sound opinion on public affairs, but that affords no sufficient justification for the narrow limits within which the franchise is restricted. It is not because every man could judiciously exercise the right, that vast numbers are to be excluded who labour under no disqualification. The franchise to all should be the rule—the want of it should be the excep tion, in place of, as under the present system, where the absence is the rule, the possession the exception. To effect these great and comprehensive changes gradually is the object of the association. They de sire to obtain for every reale occupier of a tenement, or any portion of a tenement, the right to be regis tered as an elector, the only condition being "his being rated, or having claimed to be rated, for the relief of ti • poor in respect of the qualifying pre mises." An addition of between three and four mil lions, or of about one half of the adult male population of the United Kingdom, would be thereby imme diately made to the several constituencies. There are few, indeed, who could with justice complain if such a proposition were adopted. Every honest and in dustrious man might look forward to attaining such a position by his own exertions, and the prospect would stimulate those exertions, so that while endea vouring to obtain the franchise he would be qualify ing himself for the judicious exercise thereof when attained. A more judicious decision, or one better calcu lated to unite all honest reformers under one banner, could not have been devised. Those who have heretofore advocated the household suffrage can scarcely object to its extension to lodgers who have the exclusive right to their own apartments, and who are responsible, in re spect thereof, for a fair proportion of the poor-rate chargeable on the entire tenements; while, on the other hand, the supporters of universal suffrage cannot consistently remain neutral, or refuse to co operate for the attainment of that which would constitute so large an instalment of the justice which they are disposed to claim on behalf of the unrerre sented population of the United Kingdom. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the following official ac count of the resignation by the President of the Con stituent Assembly of his powers into the hands of the new Legislative Assembly : M. ARM AND MARRAST, attended by the Vice- Presidents, Secretaries, and Questors, received the Provisional President and Secretaries of the Legisla tive Assembly, whom he addressed as follows : " The bureau of the Constituent Assembly holds it to be an honour to await and receive you here for sake of authenticating that under the empire of our Republican Constitution, there cannot be any inter mittance in the legislative powers. Your presence puts an end to our powers and duties. Our career is terminated, and yours begins. Elect of the people! be y e welcome. More happy than your predecessors, ma -3- •. , te i , least, the horrors of civil war. If. as I hope, the 1 uu....'--...._. . _ . . worthily respond to the wi.J..7. of France, you''r pre decessor,, -..hu are first to salute you, will equally be the first to thank you and to bless you." M. KERATRY replied—" In the name of the Le gislative Assembly, I accept your good wishes and the hopes you have had the goodness to express in favour of our future labour. Faithful to our man date, we will endeavour to respond to public expecta tion, happy to be seconded by you and your honour able friends. We do you the justice to say that you have traversed difficult days with nobleness and courage ; and if blood has unhappily flowed, you have put an end to deplorable calamities; and better days already shine on our country, for which you merit thanks, and by my voice the Legislative As sembly expresses gratitude." At the meeting of the Legislative Assembly on Monday, M. ODILON BAxROT ascended the tribune, and said that the Legislative Assembly was now, according to the terms of the Constitution, convoked dej ure. It holds its power by the will of the nation. The executive power for the moment does no more than declare the fact, and join in the hopes which the country has placed in you. A general expose of the affairs of the Government will be placed before you. The Government will be ready to fulfil that duty as soon as the Assembly should be regularly constituted. The sitting of yesterday commenced by the nomi • nation of the presidents and secretaries of the several bureaux for the ensuing month. The following were the nominations—lit bureau, president, M. Mole ; secretary, M. de Larcy-2d, M. de Panat, M. Berard —3d, not known-4th, Marshal Bugeaud, M. de Gaslonde—ith, General Bedeau, M. Victor Lefranc —6th, M. Baroche, M. Poujoulat-7th, M.

A discussion then took place on a motion for an nulling the election returns which may have been supposed to have been influenced by the telegraphic dispatch of M. LEON FAUCHER, which, it appears, contained an additional portion marked " confiden tial," in which the Prefects were enjoined to urge the Ministerial nominees who might be elected to pro ceed to Paris with all speed, probably with a view of assisting in the contemplated coup d etat for the de struction of the Republic. The discussion was ad journed to the next day. The National declares that M. DUFAURE has posi tively declined taking office. The following appears in the Patrie on the subject of the Ministry :—" We have reason to believe that nothing has been resolved upon as to the composition of the Ministry, and that all the compositions hitherto proposed have been abandoned. It is asserted that Marshal BUGEAUD is charged with the formation of the Ministry." The Place de la Concorde and all the avenues lead ing to the Assembly were occupied by troops. There was not, however, the least attempt at disorder, and it would seem as though General CHANGARNIER'S sole object was to harass the troops, for he ought by this time to be - aware that his efforts to exasperate, the people are utterly useless. The following official announcement of the dissolu tion of the electoral committee of the club of the Rue de Poitiers has been " communicated" to the journals " The electoral committee ;formed by the old club of the shoac Rue viea l bs e te a P pa o r i to t e i pr e am r g s iaa h na a dt s ea d d .. iss T o ßh l e v ai e s :d ipt itzeli sin ce th e e l e ctions it added to its temporary missionwitllhbe remembered that r p aag e n ad a creation da a re be n o g f an created, a nti a por of tion considerable funds were collect e d ° them has already been expended upon the t na n t objec tonly to which they were destined. The committ ee has seconded the establishment and the distribution ofpo pular papers, but it has had composed thirty-five pamphlets containing sound ideas upon social morality, and has distributed, at the lowest prices, 4,435,000 co pies of each. These works have not entirely exhausted the whole of the sums collected. There still remains an important amount, which is to be applied in the first in stance on a permamcnt work on social conservation. The committee has resolved to remit this balance to a society about to be formed for combatting those doctrines, which are adverse to the interests and happiness of a ll. This society will shortly publish its organization and its programme." The Ledru Rollin section of the Legislative Assembly have formed a club for the discussion of all important questions which may be brought forward by the Assembly. The Presidents are—Ledru Rollin, Abbe Lararnen nais, Baune, and Deville. The Secretari€ a are— Bertholin, Pelletier, Sergeant Rattier, and Sergeant Commissaire. The 'Treasurer—Sergeant -Ma j or Boichot. Questor—M. Brives. The club last night determined to support the fol lowing members as their candidates for office' hearers of the Assembly :—Presdent of the Assem bly, M. Ledru Rollin ; Vice-Presidents, MM. La mennais, F. Pyat, Mathieu (de la Drome), Devine, Baune, and Boichot ; Secretaries, MM. Gambon, Bethelon, Pelletier, Nadaut, Jules Leroux, and Corn misgaire ; Questors, MM. Brives, Dufraisse, and Rattier. A Socialist banquet, attended by no less than 1,800 persons, to the representatives of the Montagne, took place on Monday at the Jardin de la Liberte Barriere Poissonniere. There were about twelve representa tives present, among whom were M. P. LEROUX and Sergeant RATTIER. M. LEDRU ROLLIN did not attend. While the company was at dinner a com missary of police appeared, and claimed his right to be present. This being refused, he retired, but before two speeches were delivered, and while Sergeant RATTIER was addressing the company, be re appeared, accompainied by two companies of in fantry. The President immediately protested against the violence used, and the whole party at one rose and left the place without the slightest disturbance or violence, but crying " Vive la Republique Demo cratique et Sociale." Lord WALLSCOURT died in Paris on Sunday. It is said that the Foreign Minister has assured the POPE'S Nuncio of the intention of the French Govern ment to disavow M. DE LESSEPS, and to recal Lim from Rome, inasmuch as he had exceeded his instruc tions by treating with the Roman triumvirs. It is supposed that the PRESIDENT of the REPUBLIC has been persuaded to adopt this step by M. DE FALLoux, who appears to have obtained a complete ascendancy over him.

Madrid journals of the 24th have arrived. The Chamber of Deputies on the 23d appointed a committee to examine the pioject for a new tariff. The Heraldo remarks that the time of realising this tariff reform is particularly apropos, inasmuch as re lations with England being suspended, no one can accuse the Government of yielding to foreign influ ence in propssing the new tariff law. The fact is, the commerce of Spain has been so completely smothered by protection, that the adoption of free trade has become a matter of necessity.

The financial state of this empire is most deplor able. The Frankfort papers declare that a national bankruptcy is inevitable. This assertion has excited the wrath of the court party at Vienna ; and the vituperations of their organs in the press of the capital have elicited a justification in reply, to which we are indebted for the following particulars: — The present uncovered advance of the (miscalled) national bank at Vienna amounts to 21,000,0001. sterling, or two hundred and ten millions of florins. This advance has been made in the shape of bank notes, issued on the demand and sole responsibility of the Councillor KaAUS, Minister of the Finances. It must not be forgotten that KRArS took office during the sittings of the recognised diet of Vienna, and was sworn as constitutional and responsible Minister under the new state of things. As KaAus continued as responsible Minister under the Diet of Kremsier, his irresponsible position dates only from Prince SCRWARZENBURG'S CON]) critat, by which that assembly was forcibly dispersed, and the young aspirant to the imperial crown commenced a despotic reign. But the advances to the Government have been made by the Minister in three capacities, which he represented at the three epochs of Vienna, Krem sier, and Olmuts. The question whether all are equally valid will naturally be raised when a settle ment takes place, and may be decided differently, according as success is on the side of the absolutists or of the constitutionalists. If the EurEitoß :suc ceed in putting down all liberty, will he recognise debts incurred on account of those who sought to force a constitution on the Court? If the Con stitutionalists vanquish their opponents, will they pay debts incurred to effect their de struction.? There is, however, a previous ques tion to the payment of this sum, which has been su peradded to the enormous debt of the empire, and this is, can the notes be kept in credit and in circu t lingtifi Ortlieir crecit2e ia ms" . i . olinay co s me round? - presented by the exchange on London, which - is quoted now at 11 50 6,) florins. The value of the pound sterling at par being 10 florins. Hear we have a depreciation of nearly twenty per Cent. Silver coin is, however, only quoted at seventeen per cent. de preciation. Here the Frankfort papers let us into a secret of the Mint, roundly asserting that the latter issues of that establishment have been at a standard of 24 florins to the mark of fine silver instead of 20 florins, the national standard. Hence, of course, the smaller agio, gold, which suits better for hoarding and running away than silver, is quoted at 27 per cent. against notes. In Viennapanic , mistrust,caabe prettya n demoralisa tion times, as there is little u se f o r so l arge a coin, gold can scarcely be sold eve n f or it s va l ue as metal.ti now The existing state at t f estimated from these figures. Of the various shifts resorted to by the Government to keep its notes in circulation, the following are re lated. Taxes are required to be paid half in silver and half in notes. Loans have been extorted by com pelling people to give silver and take notes in exchange. All salaries are of course paid in notes, which amounts to the recipients to a reduction of one-fifth of their pay. But if these advances are continued ad libitum, or, rather, at the command of the Minister, to what discount must they not fall ? Yet will no Governor of the Bank refuse to give them as long as Generals Boum and WELDEN form a court of appeal (assisted by drum-head courts martial) on all accusations of treason. In like manner, what is an unfortunate creditor to do whose debtors insist upon his taking these depreciated notes in payment of claims, on pain of being denounced as refusing to support the Impe rial Government at a sacrifice As a matter of course, ell trade is at an end. It is said that the great banking-houses which the revoluti on did no t d estroy brought to a sta n d st il l b y the financial t , friends of or d er. " b o r f o t u he oapreerantoiowns FRANKFORT.

The Grand Duke of BADEN is at Frankfort. Count PAULEN, a Russian agent, has also arrived in that city. PRUSSIA.

Col naghi's in Pall-Mall East—has been recently con fided to the hands of Mr. Charles Lewis, for the pur pose of being engraved. The admirers of Landseer cannot but feel rejoiced that a work so indicative of his great artistic abilities is by this arrangement in a fair way of becoming popular.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday ampunted to about 3,500 bale of which 1,000 American were taken for export, including 3,000 American at 3id. to 61d., 60 Bahia at 4id to 5d., 50 Eg3 ptian at 6d. to 7d., and 200 Surat at 3d. to 31d. per lb. The market was steady.— Railway Shares continued to decline, prices of all kinds of Stock and Shares being lower. In the produce markets to day there are a good many sales, and there is a disposition to purchase to a moderate extent of the principal staples. The supplies generally are good, but so also are the deliveries. The corn trade is steady, at about Monday's prices. The arrivals of foreign grain include 6,140 quarters of wheat, 6,610 of barley, and 12,530 of oats. There was, yesterday afternoon, a slight improve ment in the rates of bills of exchange on Antwerp, and on Paris previous rates were given, but a slight decline occurred in Hamburgh, Frankfort, and `Priests. We have just heard, per electric telegraph, of news which is considered to be of some importance to the mercantile community, and at the same time rather ominous likewise. The Rob Roy steamer has returned to hull with the mails on board, having been refused by the Danish squadron permission to pass into the Elbe. This looks serious, not so much on account of the act itself, as of the circumstances which some unavoidably connect with it, viz, that the presence of the Russian fleet of observation has encouraged the Danes to be stricter than before, even to the extent of refusing the entry of the English mail. We may assume that while the unfortu nate contest lasts all correspondence must be sent by laud, and the suspension of trade between this country and the north of Germany will be complete. Whether Russia intends active support a few days may determine, but the future is pregnant with interest, after the famous declaration of the Czar in the Hungarian matter. There was no Bourse at Amsterdam on Monday. The important firm of Bethman of Frankfort is about, it is stated, to remove the seat of its operations to Amsterdam. Indeed no part of Germany offers great temptation at. present either for extent of business or security. At Berlin on the 26th inst. the stock market was dull, but without any particular alteration, and at Vienna on the 24th inst. prices were firm. There aro no arrivals from the colonies or distant parts. In the English Stock Market there has been an in crease of real business, the operations being chiefly in the New Three•and-a-Quarter per Cents. and Reduced 'Three per Cent. Annuities. The former have ranged from 90i to and the latter from>:94 to k, being yester day's va ues, but there is. an appearance of firmness. As the Transfer-books for Consols will shortly be closed, parties may be changing their investments. The quotations for Consols have been 9 to 91k; Bank Stock has touched 193, but since receded again to 1931. The accounts from France are looked upon as rather favourable in respect to the ascendancy of the moderate party, but there is very little confidence, seeing the frequent assemblages of 'the people, that attempts at disturbance will not be made. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been 455. to 475., and on India Bonds 695. to 71s. East India Stock has realised 250. The market for Spanish Bonds has been rather favourably influenced by a communication which the agents at Madrid of the Dutch and English bondholders have made to the London Committee, per Mr. James Capel, respecting their efforts to obtain some settle ment of the foreign claims. A Commission is ap pointed by the Spanish Government specially to negotiate with the agents, and since hope is inextinguishable, the creditors are still looking to some result. A more important circum stance to our thinking, however, is the forth coming marriage of the Count de Montemelin to an English lady, and his probable renunciation of all claim to the Spanish crown on consideration of receiving a restoration of property commensurate with his royal descent. The Five per Cent. Bonds have been 161 I, and the Three per Cents. 33 to i. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been nominally 26 to 23. Mexican Bonds are 29i to 30 with the coupons. Russian Stock has been at 1011. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 49 to f. Shares are very dull. Caledonian, Great Western, and Midland have been better. North-Western not quite so good.

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY The [arrival of English Wheat for our market this week coastwise has not exceeded 580 quarters, almost holly from Essex. To-day the show of samples of that grain was trifling in the extreme, while the demand was steady at fully Monday's quotations. The imports of foreign Wheat have amounted to 6,140 quarters. Selected qualities of both red and white moved off freely, at very full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds scarcely any business was doing. No English Barley at market, but the supply of foreign, 6,610 quarters, was good. All kinds met a very dull inquiry. In the quotations we have no change to notice. Malt was is short supply and sluggish request, at last week's cur rencies. In Oats scarcely any business was transacted. The out-of•condition sorts were lower to purchase. In dian Corn was held for more money. In all other articles, including Flour, next to nothing doing. - ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. I Wheat. I Barley. Oats. Thar. 560 qrs. I 570 qrs. I 490 qrs. I 1,350,41.

ARMSTRONG. This was an action by the secretary of the North of England Joint Stock Bank, to recover a large sum of money in respect of calls from the defendant, as the executor of a deceased shareholder. At the trial a ver dict was found for the plaintiff, but, subsequently, rule was obtained for leave to enter a nonsuit, which came on for argument during last term, when it was contended that inasmuch as the defendant had not re gistered himself as a shareholder, he was not liable for any claims in respect of the testator's shares. The Loan CHIEF BARON now delivered the judgment of the Court, making the rule for a nonsuit absolute. The Court then proceeded to hear arguments in moss in which rules had been obtained for new trials, but they were purely of a technical character, and wholly devoid of general interest.
