This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Dr. Beck a physician, against the defendant, an extensive cheen monger, Ludgate-hill, to recover the sum of £24 155., beiag the one-ninth proportion of the sum of £222 14s. 6d. whch the plaintiff had been called upon to pay as one of the di rectors and promoters of a company formed in the par 1854, called the Australian General Investment Compaty, and which company was not fully registered until the 11th of July, 1855. In Dec., 1854, a Mr. Dean was appointed solicitor for the company, and his bill up to and attending the registration amounted to £222 14s. 6d., which he re covered against the company by action on the company becoming defunct. Mr. Dowdeswell said the defendant did not deny his liability to contribute, but conten3ed that ho had laid moneys on account of the company more than he was liable to contribute. He was willing to refer the matter to the Master. Sergeant Shee said he was quite willing to consent to such a course. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff for the full amount, subject to a reference. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) THE WILL OF ISABELLA BANKS.-SIiETHURST V. TOMLINB. Dr. Swabey, on the part of Dr. Smethurst, made an ap plication to the Court as to the mode in which the case was to be heard. He was in favour of the proceedings taking place before the Court without the assistance of a jury. Mr. Merryweather, on the part of Messrs. Tomlins, said he should wish the case to be taken before a special jury. Tho Court thought the case ought to take place before a special jury. —Ordered accordingly. SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) SINGULAR ACTION UPON A DISHONOURED CHEQUE, AND IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO FINING WITNESSES. -WRITE V. LOW. This was an action upon a dishonoured cheque for £9 odd. Mr. Dod for the plaintiff, said the circumstances in this case were very peculiar. Plaintiff was a witness, and defendant, who is a merchant, gave him a cheque for his expences. The taxing master, however, disallowed the amount, and then defendant stopped payment of the cheque at his banker's. Mr. Dod further stated that he had sub pcenaed the defendant to prove the handwriting to the cheque. His Honour—Yon might have subpoenaed the bank olerk. Mr. Dod—He thought it unnecessary to take a clerk away from the bank, and if any one be troubled it had better be defendant. Defendant was then called upon his subpcena in the usual form, but entered no appearance. Mr. Dod—l shall now ask your honour to inflict the usual fine, His Honour—Have I the power ? Mr. Dod—Yes. It is marked on the subpsena "under a penalty of £lO, unless reasonable cause be assigned for the absence of the witness." His Honour then referred to the endorsement on the back of the subpcena, and found that the subpcena was only served yesterday, and that conduct money (7s. 6d.) was given to the defendant, 11I.R, BRIGHT AND HIS WO.RKMEIV. His Honour did not feel justified in inflicting a penalty, as the subpccna was served at so short a notice ; but the case would be adjourned, and if plaintiff gave defendant notice, and then defendant did not attend, his honour would have very little consideration about fining him. Already Mr. Bright's commercial partners are violently at issue with his coveted political allies. While he strives to allure by flattery of themselves and vituperation of all above them the leaders of the trades unions to his political standard, his brothers and associates in business are in collision with the unionists in their own employment, and are busy in proving to the satisfaction of the law the lawlessness of those whose aid he earnestly solicits. Really the member for Birmingham is most unfortunate in his personal associations. His denunciations of bribery are suddenly cut short by public exposure of the most outrageous and unscrupulous bribery by the agents of his brothers-in-law. Scarcely has that scandal subsided—scarcely has he adopted a new line, and invoked the cause of reform to put down injustice and intimidation—the beneficent agency of the trades unions—than his Parliamentary colleagues repudiate the alliance, and his own brothers appear before the Rochdale magistrates to prosecute for intimidation the agents of the Carpet Weavers' Trades Union. It is really very hard upon him. If he persuade his partners to allow the unionists to escape for the sake of conciliating the political support of their confederates in other and more important trades, he exposes himself to be accused as a mere pretender to the championship of the people ; as having from greed or temper sanctioned a step. which has unjustly turned scores of indus trious labourers of of work. If, on the other hand, ho comes forward by his partners to expose the injustice of the weavers' demand, and to vindicate his own character as a democrat, he is forced to hold up to public condemnation the character of the very associations wita whom ho but yesterday proposed to establish in politics an offensive and defensive alliance. We are glad, both for the sake of a respected and well-deserving firm, who " did not choose their brother," that he has consented or been compelled to allow them to follow that course which least damages his personal character and is most fatal to his political purposes. The firm of which Mr. John Bright is the best known member have prosecuted, before the magistrates of Rochdale, four of their carpet-weavers on the charge of annoying, threatening, and trying to deter from werk an over looker in their employ. The culprits were defended by Mr. Ernest Jones, the Chartist orator, martyr, and quondam editor. They were found guilty ; and two were sentenced to a fortnight, two to a month, in prison. These are the men whom Mr. John Bright calls to his aid in his crusade against the con stitution, and to whom he proposes to transfer the preponderance of political power. It is a pity that he did not take precautions to prevent the publication of certain unpleasant facts which came out in evi dence. On the one hand, it was proved that his mill had pumped out hot water on the assemblage of his political friends who assailed its gates. On the other side, it was sworn that the cowardly ruffians employed by the Union had thrown tar from behind a hedge over a little girl, the daughter of one of the witnesses for the prosecution. The case wears an ugly aspect for both parties to this demagogic alliance. It is due to the partners of Mr. John Bright, to observe that the rights of the quarrel seem to be exactly what we had previously supposed. They had introduced new machinery, which would turn out 240 yards of carpet in the time and with the labour previously required to produce 160 yards. The work men had no claim whatever to share in the profits made by the investment of their employers' capital in mechanical improvement. Accordingly Messrs. Bright proposed to lower the rate of pay from 1 td. per yard to ld., leaving the earnings of the men exactly the same as befoie for the same labour. Bat there was a nominal reduction, of which the opera tives, it is asserted, had not had fair warning before hand. This is exactly what, from the mutual contra dictions of the parties, we supposed to be the case when we first referred to this subject. It is probable that the masters acted hastily and discourteously; but it seams certain that the men were from the first substantially in the wrong. For their attempt to compel their com rades to cease work no excuse can be made. It was simply and grossly criminal. But Mr. John Bright is hardly entitled to complain of it. He knew what trades unions were when he called upon them to assist him in wresting power from the educated classes to use it for their own ends. He knew them, as he knows now, that their aims were unjust to the capitalist classes, and their method of action grossly cruel and op pressive towards the independent working man. He knew that their intentions were incompatible with that freedom of trade for which he has always loudly clamoured, and with that commercial pros perity to which he has always been ready to sacri fice European liberty and national honour. But he thought that the violence and recklessness of the unionists might be made available for the further ance of disloyal and unpatriotic intrigues, and he overlooked the certainty that these forces might be as easily turned against himself as against his country. The verdict of public opinion will unani mously pronounce that it serves him right." A case has just occurred which shows the charac ter of the trades unions in a much more serious light. An outrage has been attempted at Sheffield of that kind for which Sheffield is notorious. Every where assault and battery, stoning of women, fling ing tar over children, breaking men's heads are the regular weapons of the soi-disant champions of the " rights of labour." In Ireland the same champions were wont to shoot obnoxious landlords or farmers from behind a hedge. But the crimes which have given Sheffield its pre-eminence in infamy are worse than even the " agrarian" atro cities of Tipperary. The assassins there em ployed by the unions prefer such wholesale murders as that of the Rue Lepelletier. They chance the murder of half-a-dozen unoffending women and children to secure the unpunished as sassination of one hated workman. Bottles filled with explosive materials—a rude specie of bomb shell—are flung through the windows of the house which shelters the object of vengeance. The last of these exploded in the hands of a woman—the wife of the intended victim. She has, perhaps, already died—certainly she is likely to die—in horrible agony. Her husband has for the present escaped the dastardly vengeance of his enemies, to suffer a still worse fate in the knowledge that the horrible death intended for him has fallen on his young wife: to live in terrible ex pectation till the cowards venture on a more suc cessful scheme of murder. If the working men of Sheffield would not have England believe that they are without exception the worst, most dastardly, and most malignant creatures that disgrace the form of men and the name of Englishmen, we trust that they will at once break through the tyranny of the union, and dare to give up the delegates who hired the murderer, as well as the wretched coward himself, to the far too lenient judgment of the law. Both the actual perpetrator of this truly devilish crime, and his still more wicked and dastardly in stigators, are and must be known to them. Mean time, we leave it to Mr. Bright's own class to pro nounce judgment on the politician who for his selfish ends would raise the authors of the system, of which such outrages are the fruit, into a position of political influence. What must the object be whereof these men are to be the instruments ? Morning Herald. THE CLEARANCE OF THE DEBTORS PRISONS.— The Registrars of the Court of Bankruptcy have finished their labours for the present at the metropolitan prisons. From Whitecross-street Prison 33 have been released by the Registrars, and about 24 from Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and some from the Queen's Prison. Yesterday there were only 105 in Whitecross• street Prison, of which 90 were " sheriffs;" and in H_orsemonger-lane Gaol, only 18 ; and of that number 6 were cou ,ty court commitments. The next return of the keepers, on the Ist Dec., will show the state of the prisons contrasted with the first return. Cre ditors wish to know how the parties are to be re-committed after leaving. One of the benefits of the new law is that persons can get themselves " friendly" arrested, and, by de claring themselves " paupers," be relieved from all fees, even the gaoler's fee, and for a small amount to an attor ney be declared bankrupt, and for another small sum have his case completed. The present object is to make a "clearance of the prisons," and to consider the creditors on the hearing. DREADFUL DEATH.—On Thursday Mr. E. Taylor held an inquest at the Royal Forester Inn, Stanley, Wake field, on the body of George Armitage, a colliery engine • wright. The deceased had been for some time suffering from mental depression, believing that he was going to lose his work, &c., and on Wednesday he went, in the usual course of his duty to a pumping engine in Auchthorpe-lane, belonging to his employers, Messrs. Hudson ani Co., with the intent to mend a " crank-pin." Whether or not be tried to mend the pin is not knosln, for ho never told the engineer to stop the engine, as was his custom ; but next morning his body was found at the bottom of the " crank hole," where evidently he had been crushed to death- The jury considered there was no evidence to show whether he had got into the hole intentionally or accidentally, and so returned an open verdict.—Leeds Mercury. THE CATTLE TRL DE.—MALTON, Nov, 23.--- Horned cattle for farm-yard purposes have been in short supply to-day, and business passing slight, a further small decline in value being apparent, particularly in Irish beasts, which are fully 10s per head below the values of last month. Turniping sheep are still in demand, and although some what easier to bay have not participated so greatly in the fall as other lean stock. The fat market is much easier ; good beasts sell at 6s 6d to 7s per stone estimate, and sheep 61d to 7d per lb. Very prime beef for Christmas is worth 8a per ston e . D a i ry cows i n great request a t very high rates, prices ranging from £lB to £3O, as per quality and promise. The pig-market very firm, especially for farm yard purposes ;• pork pigs, 78 6d per stone. LITERATURE. The Valley of a Hundred Fires. Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library. We are glad to see this charming story re-appear in so convenient and attractive a form. Messrs. Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library is selected from the best works of history, fiction, and general literature published by them, and the high character and variety of the series has maintained its popu larity. The present volume can scarcely fail to delight the subscribers. It is a record of domestic life among the wild Welsh hills ; the history of a family and a neighbourhood told in that easy, genial style peculiar to the authoress of " Margaret and her Bridesmaids." Emily Leslie, the heroine, is a charming character. We are introduced to her as a young wife and mother taking her journey into - Wales with her husband, who has just been appointed to a moderate living in the Valley of a Hundred Fires. Her sweet temper, loving heart, and unfailing readiness of hand:soon turn the deso late house into a domestic paradise, defying the smoke and dust, and making even the "cinder tip" endurable. She is afterwards the happy mother of a large family, whom she brings up to be worthy of their parents, and though sickness and trouble chequer the smooth course of th e i r li ves , E m il y never fails. When death snatches away their chief treasure, resignation takes the place of con tentment ; when envy and uncharitableness lift their voices she refuses to hear them. Her husband, John Leslie, is also excellent in his way, and his grave sense and sincere goodness render him a worthy companion to his admirable wife. The family of the Robartses are a strong contrast to the Leslies, and we are shown how the different training and different spirit of their homes led to very opposite results. There are many other cha racters introduced, though none can rival Mrs. Leslie in the reader's regard. The varying dispo sitions and qualities of her numerous family are aptly described, and a degree of individuality preserved, which is somewhat difficult among ten daughters! The story appropriately closes with the celebration of the Leslies' golden wedding day, when their children's children gather round them and " rise up and call them blessed." " John and Emily were so essentially the same John and Emily who mounted the Bristol coach 48 years ago to make a settlement in Wales, that it is needless to describe them again. They had grown old in appearance, and, to keep his head warm, John wore a wig, made of snow-white hair, which, truth to say, was not always put ou straight ; while Emily was the prettiest old woman ever seen—a close full cap surrounding her pretty old face, beaming yet with the spirit of as youthful a heart and buoyant a spirit as when first introduced to the reader. The world had pro gressed amazingly fast, especially of late years, and their children and grandchildren wcre swimming with the tide, no whit behind anyone, yet when they came within the charmed circle of our hero and heroine, they left their worldlinesses, their luxuries, their daintinesses at the garden gate. Life-Guardsmen, Crimean and Indian war riors, Arctic heroes, with courtly young damsels, and graceful little queens of fashion and beauty, thronged round grandpapa and grand mamma, with an affection and admira tion called forth by the genuine truth and beauty of their characters. Had their feelings been analysed, it is probable they regarded them as the dilettante regards antique gems. Or, it might be that the boundless wealth of affection possessed by Emily had diffused itself in all its purity through her descendants; while the fine heart, true faith, and good sense possessed by John had imparted the taste to value such affections as the best gift God bestows on man." On Food : beirg Lectures delivered at the South Kensington Museum, by E. Lankester, M.D., F.R.S. Hardwicke, Piccadilly. These admirable lectures, IN hiCh present so much condensed information in so clear and available a form, are now collected in one volume of a conveni ent size and moderate price. The substance of them formed part of the author's course on MLterica Aledica and Therapeutics at St. George's School of Medicine, and a course on the vegetable kingdom at the Royal institution. Subsequently, on Dr. Lankester's ap pointment to the scientific superintendence of the food collection at the South Kensington Museum, he obtained the permission of the Committee of Council on Education to deliver lectures, in order to convey some instruction to the public respecting the department uncle r his charge. The great success of theselectures has already made them widely known; but those who have heard them will probably be very ready to add them to their libraries for future reference, while those who have not been so fortu nate should not fail to take advantage of this opportunity of so pleasantly extending the area of their scientific knowledge. There are two courses of lectures in this volume, each course containing six. Only one series has as yet been delivered at the Museum, the others being written out from the author's notes, The first six are—On Water, on Salt, on Heat-giving Foods, on Oil, Butter, and Fat, on Flesh-forming Food, and on Animal Food. The other course contains lectures—On Alcohol, on Wines, Spirits, and Beer, on Condiments and Spices, on Tea, on Coffee and Chocolate, and on Tobacco. It will be perceived that the subjects of the two courses are of distinct characters ; the one being, as Dr. Lankester observes, necessary to our daily life, the other auxiliary to its maintenance. The simplicity of the language and the clearness of the style render the work intelligible and interest ing to the least scientific reader, and we may con fidently join in the hope expressed by their talented author, that they may contribute " to advance the study of those laws by which life and health are secured, and without a knowledge of which man can never . realise the highest objects of his existence." Song Birds and how to Keep Mon. By E. A. INlaling, author of " Indoor Plants, and How to Grow Them," &c. Smith, Elder, and Co. The keeping of pet birds is such it favourite amusement with all ages, that directions as to how their health, comfort, and powers of song can be best maintained are by no means unnecessary. The writer of this little work has already given us a very useful manual of instructions regarding the care of indoor plants, and having devoted much time and attention to her feathered favourites, she has wisely published this companion volume, which will be found of great service to all wh.) keep birds. An intimate acquaintance with the habits, requirements, and likings of the tribes of air has qualified her to speak with confidence and authcrity as to their wants and wishes. The directions are all of a very practical nature, and we commend, this treatise to all who are interested in the welfare of these little songsters. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

He had treated both his wives with great cruelty. he was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.—Mr. George Armstrong, of Thornton Heath, Surrey, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with being drunk and disorderly, and Mr. Foster Graham, 37, Oxford-street, gentleman, wus charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Vine-street station. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the defendants. Bruce, 88 C, said—This morning, about two, while on duty in Princes-street, Leicester-square, I saw the defend ants with some prostitutes and cabmen round the door of the wine rooms known as " Kate Hamilton's," The de fendants were endeavouring to gain admittance, but the door porter, seeing they were drunk, refused to let thorn in. I requested the defendants to go away several times, and Graham got into a cab with a prostitute and left. The de fendant Armstrong said he was if he would go, and should remain as long as he liked. I was then compelled to take Armstrong into custody. When I got to the Vine street station the defendant Graham made his appearance, and asked to see the inspector, and as I observed he was drunk I told him to wait a few minutes. He said—" I'm —if I'll wait," and forced his way in. I asked him to wait in the reserve room, and he behsved in a disorderly manner. I then told him he must consider himself in cus tody for the disturbance he had made. By Mr. Lewis—Graham did not go to the station to complain of me that I know of, and he did not say so. He came to the station in the cab with the prostitute. The defendants were together at the door of " Kate Hamilton's." There is no one here from "Kate Hamilton's" to complain. Mr. Lewis said he thought it a piece of officiousness on the part of the constable. There was no one from the house to complain, and rot even a second constable to cor roborate ; and he asked his worship whether there was suf ficient to warrant Armstrong being taken into custody. The defendant Armstrong went quietly to the station, and then when Graham went to the station to inquire after his friend, who had been dragged to the station, and to com plain to the inspector, he was charged himself with being drunk. Gillett, 214 0, was sent for, and corroborated Bruce; 88 C. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should discharge Armstrong, but fine Graham 10s. or seven days. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY.—Ann Reeves, a young woman of very doubtful reputation, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing four shirts and a silk waistcoat from the Victory beer-shop, in the West India-road, Limehouse. It appeared that the prisoner was in the beer-shop on Saturday evening, and partook of some refreshment. Soon after she had left the house four shirts and a waistcoat were missed. The prisoner was apprehended last night by Chad wick, 350 K, and she stated that she had pawned two of the shirts and a waistcoat at a leaving-shop in Salmon-lane, Limehouse. The articles were found at the place described. The prisoner had obtained a loan of ss. upon the articles. A woman, named Et za Hazenfeldt afforded considerable amusement by describing the actions of the prisoner in the Victory beer-shop on Saturday night. She saw the pri soner in the bar parlour concealing things about her, and making herself up as if she was pregnant. Tho prisoner, in defence, said she had only stolen two shirts and a waistcoat, and if the magistrate would dis charge her she would never do so again, and would pay Mrs. Johnson, the prosecutrix, for her property as soon as she could raise the money. Mrs. Johnson said she had missed foil ,. shirts and a waistcoat. Chadwick sail the prisoner was in custody a few weeks ago for robbing her newly-furnished lodgings. Mr. ffoolrych—l convict the prisoner of improperly dis posing of the property, and fine her 10s. and 20s. the value, and in default 21 days' imprisonment. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Nov.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO LADY CHARLOTTE CHET WYND.—The family of Sir George Chetwynd, of Grendon hall, near Atherstone, have been thrown into the deepest affliction by an accident which has caused the premature death of Lady Charlotte Chetwynd. The house was full of company on Saturday last, and during the afternoon Lady Charlotte was out riding in the neighLourhood of the mansion with a party of her friends, when the animal she rode shied and bolted, and presently threw her with great violence. Lady Charlotte fell on her head and sustained several severe contusions, from which she never rallied ; and, in spite of every attention and the best medical aid, she expired a Hale before six o'clock on Sunday morning. Lady Charlotte had just attained her 47th year. She was a daughter of the late Marquis of Downshire, and married in 1343 Sir George Chetwynd. It is stated that thel bullion in the Bank of France has experienced an increase of more than £1,000,000 since the issue of the last monthly return. £400,000 appears to have been drawn from Amsterdam under the arrange ment lately made for a credit on that city. COLONIAL. TEA.—The dealings have been very limited, owing to the near approach of the public sales, which commence this day: SuGA.R.—Only a limited business has been transacted, and prices have experienced no change of importance. In the refined market dried goods have remained at steady prices. COFFEE.—The market has continued quiet, without any material change to note in values. The stocks on hand, compared with those of the same period of last year, show an increase of about 1,600 tons. Rim—Only a limited amount of business has been done for home consumption, but for export there has been a fair enquiry, and late rates have been well maintained. SALTPETRE.—A rather large business has been done in the better qualities, at slightly enhanced rates. TALLOW.—The market has continued inactive, and prices have shown a slight depression. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 51s ; all the year, 50e 6d to 50s 9d ; and spring de livery, 51s 6d to 52s per cwt. STREET HAWKING OF NEWSPAPERS.-- , Yesterday afternoon a deputation of some of the leading wholesale and retail newsvenders of the metropolis waited on Sir Richard Mayne, her Majesty's Chief Commi-sioner of Police, at the office in Whitehall-place, for the purpose of calling his at tention to the increase in the system of hawking newspa pers in the streets, more particularly on Sunday, as a public nuisance and obstruction, as inju rious to the system rentof t the e a n t r d a d t a x e i e n s , g a e n n d e r r a e l q , u w e h s t o i n h g a v h e i m t o t o k shopse p e u p tu, and motion to pay the in tervention of the police for its suppression. Mr. Chapman, of Foley-street, having stated the objects of the deputation, called the attention of the Chief Commissioner to the act of Parliament passed last session in relation to street hawking, and which he contended gave the Commissioner of Police power to interfere in the matter. Mr. nederwick, solicitor, to the Stamps and Taxes, had given it as his opinion that the police authorities had the power to interfere, on the hawkers or boys being given in custody. The Chief Com missioner, after referring to the act which defines that per sons seeking for orders for goods at other men's houses shall be deemed hawkers, said he could not, from the read ing of any of the sections, see that any person going about with newspapers for sale were hawkers under the act; neither did he see any provision in it that empowered the police to interfere summarily. if hawking newspapers in the streets was a public nuisance it must be made indictable at law. A summons might be tried before a magistrate. He was clearly of opinion that the police could not be em ployed .under the act. They might proceed under the Sun day Trading Act, but that act had not been found very effective. Nothing has yet transpired regarding the insti tution of any criminal proceedings in relation to the affairs of the Deposit Bans. A petition in bankruptcy, however,, was presented yesterday by Messrs. Linklater and Hack wood against Peter Morrison, the managing director, by which means a full investigation into the affairs of that con cern will, it is ho ed, be secured. It is reported that Mr. Morrison is still in London. THIRD EDITION. _ . SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. CARLISLE ELECTION-MIS DAY. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. ONE O'CLOCK.
