The sales were 10,000 bales, 4,000 for export and 011 Rpeoulation. The market closed steadily. The Railway Share Market was steadily maintained, and in many cases an advance was obtained Accounts from Peru, by the West India mail- Packet Atrato, furnish some interesting particulars regarding the guano trade from the Chincha Islands. It appears that the net produce of a ton of guano to Peru when sold iu England is $23 5c., and when sold in the United States $2l sc. The loss by transshipment, waste, and accidents by sea is calculated at 12 per cent. Recent estimates of the quantities on the group of islands are as fol lows:--On the north island, as computed by M. Paraquet, a French engineer, 4,189,477 tons; on the middle island, as calculated by Senor Castanon Cana and others, 2,505,948 tons ; and on the south island, as estimated by the same authorities, 6 , 6 84,679 tons—making a total of 12,380,102 tons. From official returns it appears that the quantity of guano exported from No velnber, 1853, to October, 1855, was 780,000 t° llB , or about 800,000 tons in two years, Which is valued at 20 million dols. At the present time the National Debt of Peru is 46,698,889 &is., bearing interest amounting annually to 2,101,750 dela. Should the proceeds, therefore, of guano he judiciously applied, there is sufficient to pay off the debt in a few years. • According to the customs returns at Panama, the trade between that port and California is steadily increasing. During the last year there Were 32 vessels of the United States mercantile marine entered the port from thence of 49,300 tons aggregate measure, and laden with cargoes includ ing gold and specie of the value of 30,691,816 dols. The rates at which bills were negotiated yester day afternoon in the principal cities of the C,,nti sent showed rather a d.cided tendency to decline. A decline of about / per cent. has taken place in the English Stoek market, in consequence of a few aPeeulative sales. The unsatisfactory tone of the American advices upon the Enlistment question, has given rise to some apprehension lest the ami cable relations between this country and the Unit e d States should be still further disturbed. Whe ther there is really any ground for un easiness or not, the unfavourable view taken by some of the morning journals upon the subject has chiefly produced the reaction in t he Funds above mentioned, and the market is de cidedly weak. The tightness of the Money Mar ket, however, is not without its effect, and the state The the account likewise occasions some flatness. - the " coutango " is still very high, viz., about i t Per cent. Consols, for money, opened at 90/ to 91, and for account 911 to I, but they have since still further declined to 902 to r i for the former, a nd to 90i a n d 91 for the latter. Exchequer dills are 1 s. lower, having been done at 7s. discount. The New 3 per Cents. have been heavy at 9la to 91i, and 921 ; the Reduced at 911 f. Btnk Stock has been done at 212, an advance of / to 1 l Cent. India Bonds are 7s. discount. The Foreign Market has been extremely firm, 4 M fuller prices are current. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 911 to 92/ for money, and 93 for account, but the quotations are now about 921 and 92i II respectively. The 4 per Cents. are 102 a 1 „ a decline of 1 per cent. Mexican Bonds are heavy, at 201 and Sardinian at 88 : i. Spanish 3 per Cents. have been 414 to 42. Dutch 21 per Cents. 64k, and Peruvian Dollar Bonds 631. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign s tocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 7i; Mexican, 20 ; Peruvian, 80 81 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 56 57 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 47 49 ; Russian 5 per C ents., 103 106 ; ditto 44 per Cents., 92 94 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 41f ; ditto Deferred, 22 ; ditto C ertificates, 64 ; ditto Passive, 4! si. The Railway Market is affected by the arrange ments making for the adjustment of the speculative account, this being "ticket day." The charges blade for " continuation" are very onerous, having, in Setae instances, been at the rate of 10 to 18 per cent. Some of the lines, inclining Midland, south-Western, North-Western, Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee, and Great Western, are at higher price s . The Foreign and tiolmial are dull and rather fiat. Mining shares have generally remained at pre ♦ious values, and in the Banking securities a very small amount of business has taken place. South Australian Land Shares and Canada Government's Debentures have slightly advanced. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.-CLOSING PRICES. rolos tht ff&C,ik u•.‘,.- , done. tank Stock 3 . Pin e...eut,.

SEVERE WEATHER IN THE 'UNITED STATES. —We are in the midst of an Arctic winter. A great snow storm hey whitened the continent. The city of New York was "snowed in." For a day or two nearly all the ordi nary business of out-door life was suspended. Half a Million people went without milk. The city railroads, which are now completed through nearly all the great avenues, were impassable, and a body of snow two feet d eep lay on the town. For much of the time during the last four days Fahrenheit's thermometer has stood below zero. There has been much individual suffering ; but the poor of New York have been well provided for. Considerable damage has been done to our commerce a long the coast, and several railway accidents have oc- Vurrodi---L6Ccrirwri Nog Prk (Tein, 12)7 THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING JANUARY 30, 1856, Rs ,tAt,;P if it f,NT fits. ,pavement of the infernal regions bad received a vast au_ cumulation of material during the past two or three years, considering the expression of feeling, and passing gtIL7 Z 4 this ,2.11)7. nttstaasc this dv, resolutions at public meetings, and the perpetual under current of diplomacy, which he illustrated by re ferring to the meetings that had been held declar ing the war should be carried on with vigour, whilst Lord Clarendon (who acted under orders the same as Lord Stratford de Redclitfu) was acting as a diplomatist in a contrary direction. The only resolution that should be on their lips and in their hearts was "impeachment." (Cheers.) The CHAIM/IN then pat the resolution above moved to the meeting, when Mr. 'Millen again came forward to move an amendment, and was favourably received at first. Mr. FINLEN said he went heart and soul with the spirit of the meeting, and agreed with the resolution so far as it went. What he held in his hand he had sub mitted to the gentlemen who had called the meeting, and asked them to attach it to the resolution as an ad denda, but, as they had demurred, he submitted it to the meeting. It was as follows :—" That this meeting has no hopes that any indemnity for the expenses of war will be exacted from Russia, or that the terms of peace which England ought to accept will be agreed on unless the Ministers who have entered on the present nogotia tions are deprived of office and impeached. (Loud and continued cheers.) The time had now come when they should do something that would have a positive and advantageous effect. Now that England was placed in a critical position—now that her honour and martial fame were alike both exposed to jeopardy--when the men of England could witness their country likely to become -humiliated by her Ministers, it was time that the great body of the men of England, who made England, worked for England, and supported England in times of peace and in times of war, should speak out. The English people bad made sacrifices to have Turkey con served, and the Russian power humbled, but now, at the end of twe years' hard fighting, they found strange terms proposed, and they were urged to conclude peace in keeping with the honour of the Russian Czar, and the interests of the Russian people. (Cries of " Shame.") They went to war to preserve Turkey, which had been jeopardised by the policy of Russia, and he did not think that in considering the terms of peace they should consider whether they were advantageous to England, but whether they had procured for Turkey the object for which they went to war. (Cheers.) Alexander II was a criminal at the' bar of public' opinion, and let the people gi►e their verdict without asking the Czar what would please him, and be compatible with his honour. (Cheerx,) - - The Czar had trespassed as a burglar on the possessions of Turkey, and wished to appropriate the property of another to himself. He was, therefore, a burglar—an Imperial one if they pleased. (Cheers.) Ministers were about to have an interregnum which was likely to be disadvantageous to this country, and the men who could countenance such a thing ought to be outlaived. (Cheers.) Already had 100,000 men fallen in the Crimea by the doings of English Russians, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Palmerston, and others, and it was time to prevent its repetition. (Cheers.) After some further remarks he moved the amendment. The CHAIRMAN then came forward and said, as this was a meeting of the people of Westminster, it had been decided that none but inhabitants should speak. A gentleman named Hart bad expressed a wish to address the meeting ; he therefore wished to know if it was not their wish he should proceed. The assent of the meeting having been given, Mr. Hata came forward to second the amendment. In doing so, he asserted that industry should be re solutely insisted on. Impeachment had been mentioned, and he thought very justly. The terms of peace themselves furnished a reason why the Ministers should be im peached. What did those terms admit of ? Why, that the Principalities should be allowed to fortify themselves against Turkey. Would the people of this country. who took a king into the open court, tried him, took him to the block, and rolled his head on the scaffold, now shrink from impeaching those who had committed worse crimes. (Loud cries of "Treason.") Trial, verdict, sentence, and execution should follow close upon One another. (Immense cheering.) The terms of peace now about to be sub mitted to were Russia's -own, submitted to this great country by her English Rusaiau agents. (Immense cheering.) The neutralisation of the Black Sea—what does it mean ? Why, that sea as far as Russia is concerned is neutralised already, but the real meaning was that it should be neutralised as far as regarded Turkey—it meant nothing else than that npvvards of 2,00 miles of Circassian coast should be given to Russia. (Cries of" blear, hear," " That's it, that's it.") The speaker,then detailed the proceedings of the British army on its first arrival at Gallipoli. They never knew, he said, till Sir G. Brown told them, that the troops went there to protect Turkey. What had they been landed at Gallipoli for ? Why, it was like landing troops at the most remote part of the British coast, and fortifying York, for the protection 'of London. (Laughter.) At the time the troops were first sent out it wig strongly urged upon the Government to avoid the valley of the Devna, as a plague spot. Colonel Chesney and Omer Pacha both told the Government so ; yet what did they do ? Why, they encamped the army in that dreadful place, and the hundreds of graves that were to be found there at the present moment were not filled with Russians or Mahounnedans, but Englishmen taken from amongst themselves. Ebglishrnel3, for whom prayers had been said, tears shed, and the lamentable English wail had gone forth. (Shame.) He said these brave men had been murdered. (Tremendous cheers.) He hoped the men of Westminster would this day be have themselves in such a manner as to show their rulers that they still posiessad the spirit which led them on to behead one who bad committed crimes equal —not worse—than those perpetrated by their present rulers. (Immense applause.) Mr. JAMES COBBETT, M. P., said there were two re markable circumstances amongst the many hundred connected with this war, which were that a late Minis ter, a few months since, admitted that we were agreed with our enemy Russia, but not with our ally Turkey ; that it had been recently admitted, in what was sup posed to be a Ministerial point, that no reason was de scribed for going to war other than that England " drifted into war ;" but whether they drifted or slipped into war head foremost or heels foremost was immaterial, but it was evident they went to war with their fists only half clenched and with quiver. ing jaws. Mr. W. J. O'CONNELL said he believed the Irish sol diers bad nobly done their duty in the Crimea. (Cheers.) So strongly did he feel on the war that he wrote a letter to Prince Albert, offering to raise an Irish regiment to assist in the war. He was referred by his Royal High ness to the Commander-in-Chief, and the result was that his offer was refused because it would interfere with the Government raising a foreign legion. (Hear, bear.) He stood there as an independent man, and he warned them against setting a bad precedent that day, by impeaching the Ministers of England. (Cries of " Shame," and hisses.) Four or five gentlemen came forward to address the assembly, when the Chairman appealed to the meeting to decide whether they should be heard, or the resolution put to the meeting. Some confusion arose, and one of the gentlemen persisted in addressing the meeting amidst cries of "Sit down," &c. After gesticulating for some time he retired, when the Chairman pro ceeded to put the resolution and amendment to the meeting amidst cries of " Amendment, amendment only." At length the demand of the meeting was coin plied with, and the amendment was put and carried amidst the most ♦ociferous cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. The original resolution was conse quently abandoned. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated. THE QUARTERLIES, The .National Revleiv. No. 111. The queerest oddity of a critic has penned the opening contribution to the third number of this new quarterly—the Nationa/. A biogr a phi ca l paper up on "Edward Gibbon," beginning with these words—" Papa, I wish I was the Roman Empire !" Going on to tell us that the paternal property descending to the historian was " enor mously less than 140,0001." Describing Gibbon's riother rather unpleasantly as "a faint inoffensive woman." Talking of Mr. Burke as "the Cobden of that ere—the ,Cobden, for ooth ! And with similar running ;commentaries of absurdity recount ing the principal events which transpired during the career of Edward Gibbon, from his birth ou the 27th of April, 1737, to his .death on the 16th of January, 1794--conspicuous among those events, of course, the iscue, in the spring of 1776, of the first volume of his immortal " Decline and Fall"— a quarto, one-sixth of the whole famous master piece. Another contribution to the National in dulges its readers with a disquisition upon " The Present State of France," through the which many oracular words of advice are vouchsafe(' to the third Napoleon for his future guidance ! Mr. Arthur He by his two recent volumes about "The SpanisliVonquest in America," has suggested to yet another reviewer the subject of a rather in teresting chapter upon an epoch in history always fraught to us with a peculiar fascination. The account given in a separate article relating to the " Life and Writings of Dr. Thomas Young" is truly marvellous revealing that gifted man to us as another Admirable Crichton in his way, a veritable paragon, a phenomenon of most varied learning and accomplishment—philosopher, dis coverer, experimentalist, astronomer, electrician, linguist, equestrian (after the manner of Ducrow), tight-rope dancer (after that of Madame Sacqui), chemist, optician, metaphysician, archaeologist, geographer, antiquary, Harlequin ! Such were among a few of the characters sustained, and all of them admirably sustained, at intervals by Dr. Thomas Young during his extended and remark able life from June 13, 1773, wheii he was born at Milverton, in Somersetshire, to the date of his lamented decease, shortly after which his _Wage was pronounced by M. Arago. Besides an essay on " Atheism," and another on " Phoenicia," the _National contains an ingenious argument upon " Foreign Policy and the. next Campaiyn ! " and, all things considered, one of the justest and shrewdest criticisms yet written upon the genius of " W. M. Thackeray"—viewing that great writer at once as an Artist and as a Moralist. LA W ITELLIGENCE.—Jan. 29. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. SHENIERD AND ANOTHER V. CONQUEST--3NFEINGniENT OF DRAMATIC COPTRIGHT-JUDGMENT. The plaintiffs in this case are the proprietors of the Surrey Theatre, and the defendant owns the Grecian Saloon, in the City-road. The action was brought to recover penalties in consequence of the defendant having without the consent of the plaintiffs, caused to be repre sented at the Grecian Saloon a piece called " (lid Joe and Young Joe," of which the plaintiffs claimed the copy right. At the trial a verdict was found for the plaintiffs, but subsequently a rule was obtained to enter a nonsuit, and the matter having been argued at some length, the Court took time to consider it. The Chief Justice now gave judgment. Ile said that it appeared that the plaintiffs had agreed by word of mouth with a Mr. Courtney, that he should go to Paris to adapt pieces there in vogue for the English stage : that they should pay all Courtney's expenses, and should acquire the right of representing the piece so produced in London, Mr. Courtney retaining the right of representation in the provinces. Mr. Courtney pro ceeded to Paris, and produced the piece in question, which was brought out by the plaintiffs at the Surrey Theatre, and afterwards at the Grecian Saloon, by the defendant, who had obtained an asslgnneent from Court ney, aid the question was, whether the plaintiffs, by the transaction hetvreen them and Courtney, became entitled to the sole right of representation in London, 'so as to be able to maintain this action. That depended au the construction of the 3d and 4th William IV., cap. 15, which conferred on the author of any drainatic piece the right of representation in any part of the king dom, and gave to the author or other proprietor of the copyright, a right of action against any person who should, contrary to the act, represent or cause to be re• presented, without the sanction of the author or ether proprietor, any such production ae aforesaid, or any part thereof. It could not be successfully contended for the plaintiff's that the copyright could be assigned without writing. and there was no assignment in wriVag in this case. The plaintiffs bad no copyright., therefore, unless it could be established that theyßiad it by reason of the rela tion between them and Courtney, and that the copyright rested iu them from the moment when the piece was com• posed. Accordingly it was contended that Courtney was merely their servant, and that the proiiuce of his talent became the property of his masters at the moment of pro duction ; and the case was likened to that of a patent in ventioe, in which the invention of a servant might be adopted by Lis master, and incorporated into his own tie sign, without detracting from its originality. It had been said that the case of an author stood on other grounds, and that the intention of the Legislature was to elevate literary men, and that such an inteetien could only be effected by holding that the author was the proprietor of the copyright, and that no relation between him and his employer, who took no part in the production of the work, could vest the copyright of the production in the employer. The rights of authors and inventors were both creatures of the statute; but they were of a diffe rent kind. A person who imported from abroad an in vention was entitled to obtain a patent, but a person who first reprinted a valuable foreign work, though he employed his mind in the translation, could not acquire the title of author within the statutes asleting to copy right. He did not wish to exprees an opinion whether, under any circumstances, the copyright (la literary work, or the right of representation could become vested in the employer, who was some person other than the person who composed the work. In the present case, no such effect could be produced, for here the employer merely suggested the subject, and the whole resuit was pro duced by the mind of the person employed. It appeared an abuse of terms to say that an employer WAS the au thor of a work to which his mind had not contributed a single idea, and they could net bring theraselves to any other conclusion than that Courtney was the person who made the adaptation, and who had acquired for himself the right of-an author, and it would he to give a new character to the word -" author" to hold otherwise. That being so, and in:venue% as there wa,s no st-6signmeut, in writing of Courtney's right to the plaintiffe, they could not maintain this action. Rule for a nonsuit absolute. SHARE MARKtTS.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of the metropolis took place this afternoon at two o'clock, at St Martin's hall, Long-aore, to protest against any peace being con• eluded inconsistent with the honour and dignity of the country, The announcement calling the meeting was beaded, " Do the Men of Westminster desire Peace or War," and was to the following effect :—" Sir, I am desired to request the attendance of yourself and friends at a publio meeting of the inhabitants et Westminster, to be held on Wednesday next, the 30th instant, at St. Martin's-hall, Long-acre, to protest against the conclusion of any peace on terms inconsistent with the honour and dignity of this coun try. The chair to be taken at 2 o'clock, by Mr. C. Westerton. By order of the committee, Jarnea Beal, Hon. Sec." Mr. C. Westerton took the chair at a quarter. past 2, and proceeded to address the meeting. Re said that as one who had taken a prominent part in calling this meeting, it was necessary he should state the grounds on which it had been called. Those who acted with him felt that a crisis was at hand, and that whilst the peace party were active in disseminating their opinions and which were gaining ground, that the opinions of the acting men of West minster being against a conclusion of a poste at any price, they should have an opportunity of expressing that opinion. (Loud cheers.) Their object was not to sup port any particular set of men who were in office, but to declare their opinion irrespective of party. One resolu tion only would be submitted for their consideration, embracing two.points, one that , they were determined to carry out the war vigorously, and that ho armistice should be concluded until the preliminaries of pew had been signed, and the other that the war should not close until they had secured-for Turkey her independence and freedom. Loud cheers.) The Chairman read a letter from Sir De Lacy Evans, sympathising with the object for which the meeting had been called, and expressing regret at his not being able to attend. Colonel SMYTH VEMIKER then oame forward to move the resolution. He said, as a moderate Conservati►e, it gave him great pleasure in coming before them to day. He felt sure that men of every party would be found to be united in their endeavours to carry the war to a successful `conc!nsion. He felt that, looking at the articles of peace, they were not at all satisfactory; indeed the fifth article meant nothing, and the proper course would have been to have embodied the whole of the demands into one resolution, and ask Russia whether she would accept such terms or not. The condition that Bomarsund should not be rebuilt ought to be a sine qua non after they bad drawn Sweden into the vertex of the war. In these articles there was not the slightest allusion to the re-building of Sebastopol. He thought that such a thing ought to have been clearly put forward, and that not only the south side should not be rebuilt, but that the north side should also be given up. Cir cassia ought also tio be provided for as it would be ex ceedingly unjust to come to any terms that did secure the independence of that brave nation. (Loud cheers.) He thought that an armistice being signed before there WAS a certain prospect of peace was decidedly objection able. (Loud cheers.) The expenses of the war had been to a degree lost sight of, and ought certainly to be enforced from Russia. (Cheers.) He begged now to move the resolution which be thought they would pass unanimously, it was as follows :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that to conclude an armistice until the preliminaries of peace are signed, would be at variance with the interests and wishes of the British people, and that they consider no treaty will be satis factory which does not secure the allies an indemnity I for the expenses of thews; and which does not guarantee the integrity and independence of the Turkish Empire." (Loud cheers.) Mr. A. B. RICHARDS seconded the resolution. They had had a sham war. (Loud cheers.) They had had a sham blockade, and were *ow drifting into a sham peace. (Cheers.) The Government did not want a peace, but tia beguile and b4ool the people. The Government throughout the war had talked about the integrity, and honour, and interest of Russia, but not that of England, and much less that of Turkey. (Cheers.) The tele. graph wires had been asan halter round the necks of their army, and also that of the brave Omer Pasha, for when they had gained a success the wires were set at work, and they made no use of their successes. With regard to the fall of Kars, Lord Stratford de Radcliffe had been in close communication with the Government, and he did not think he ought to be made the scape-goat about that failure, but they ought to know who gave him his orders how to act, and what those orders were. He understood that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe was coming home to justify his conduct, but he thought no man could justify the doing a wrong act. The speaker con tended that this war had not been declared and con ducted in accordance with the ancient custom of this country. He entered at great length into the various events of this war, both in the East and in the Baltic, and how the war had been carried on. He condemned our eye tern a recruiting, and in reference to America, said that our conduct in recruiting for a foreign legion, had been such as to insult America, by a deliberate act contrary to the law of nations and the municipal law of America. (Cheers.) He referred to the intention of giving up a portion of the Turkish provinces, to create another sovereign state a German sovereign. (Cries of "No," and hisses.) They had de moralised Turkey by their conduct. They had forced on her a debt against her laws, and bad given her money when it was too late. Her army had been starved by British interference, her navy demoralised, and her ships rotting. This war had not been a war against Russia, but a war against our allies. (Hear.) The ob jects for which the war was declared had not been accom plished. He said it was intended by Government to prorogue Parliament to prevent being questioned on the proposed terms of peace, but he felt satisfied the Govern ment would not dare to do it. He called upon the people to boldly speak out. (Rear, hear.) Major LYON said be had been unexpectedly called upon to speak to the resolution. Before so doing he would, with the permission of the meeting, make a few remarks relative to the meeting held at Manchester for a contrary purpose to that for which they-were assem bled, and he was sorry that so good a cause had fallen into such bad hands. The speaker then proceeded to allude to the speech delivered by Mr. Bright, amidst marks of impatience from the meeting. He had lately returned from the East, and all that had been said rela tive to the state of affairs there was true. Ho could tell the meeting something relative to the entry of the Black Sea by the Turkish fleet. (Hear, hear.) A friend of his, a Turkish Admiral, was determined to take his ships *into that sea, but the British Ambassador in Turkey would not allow him. His friend was determined to enter that sea, and Lord Strat ford de Redcliffe then told him that if he did so no re- lief would be sent to him. Hie friend went, and he had as narrow an escape as the commander who followed him. Lord Stratford de Redeliffe was, therefore, not an English ambassador, but a Russian at heart. (Im mouse cheering.) If they were to have a peace, let it be an honourable one, but the way to it is thatsof the war had those expenses to keep the sword out of the scabbard until you get it. (bieonntainiluneddedethoe.eriNngo.)w beT heexpense thought should be repaid by Russia. '(lmmense cheering.) Indeed he thought the latter part of the resolution was as impirtaut as the first, and that a satisfactory indem nity must be insisted on. (Loud cheers.) He most cordially begged to support the resolution that bad just been moved. Mr. S. ROLLAND rose to support the motion, whoa two gentlemen presented themselves to address the meeting, amidst cries of chair and order. The CHAIRMAN asked for a fair and patient bearing of all. Mr. Harris would submit an amendment to the meeting. (Hisses and laughter.) Mr. HARRIS said that, notwithstanding the manner move nwhich the resolution amendmentesolutionhadb : eel rzietivt ined, he should the following the judg. ment of this meeting the terms offered by the Allies and by Russia will form the basis of a satisfactory peace. (Hisses, and cries of "No, no," sad great confusion. The chairman appealed to the meeting, and asked the question if the speaker should be heard, which was met with overwhelming cries of " No, no." Mr. Harris then retired amidst loud cheers. Mr. ROLLAND again attempted to address the meeting, when Mr. Pinion stood forward to move another amend ment, but the meeting refused to hear bin. Mr. Rol land then said that he thought they would net have been so desirous of hearing him had they known what he had to say. He entertained no very high respect for the resolutions of a public meeting. They knew the adage tkot htli Tom par:4 with god reAvtimp," . 94 the LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. HODHSON--CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Wilde, Q. 0., moved for a rule calling on the de fendant to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him under the following cir cumstances :—/t appeared that Hodgson was an assist ant to the late Mr. Isaac Higgs, surgeon, of Cradley, in Staffordshire, who died a short time since. Hodgson having got possession of Higgs' diploma struck out the latter and inserted his own name, and by which he had succeeded in obtaining the appointment of surgeon to the Dudley Union. Lord Campbell said the Court in this case declined to Avail itself of its powers and interfere, co nsider ing it would be better for the cass to b e disposed of by indict ment in the usual way. Rule refused. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. JEDGIIENT..—TEN NEW SUCCESSION DUTIES ACT ; Baran Alderson gave judgment in a case relative to the Succession Duties Act, in which the Earl of Corn wallis was concerned. The question for the decision of the court was whether the estate of that nobleman was liable to the duties ender the New Succession Duties Act, cr those of the old act. The learned Baron said that as the annuibies in question Were pur chased prior to the passing of the above act, the duties should be charged according to tho old rats, Jurrigmtnt alcordiugiy. ST. GEORGE'S, BANOVER-SQUARE. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST A CLERIC. Yesterday a special meeting of the vestry of this parish took place at the Board-room, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, to receive a communication from the committee appointed to superintend the paving and lighting of the Grosvenor place district, relative to a charge which they had prefeired against George Augus tus \Valnsisley, clerk to the late trustees of the Gros venor-place district, for embezzling various sums of money which had come into hi■ possession by virtue of his office ; the Rev. Henry Rowarth, the rector, pre sided. Mr. DOWDEN stated that from information received by the committee in question, of which ho was a member, certain defalcations charged against the late clerk were brought before the board; and Col. Begot and himself were requested to make inquiries - or. the subject. Acting upon their instructions, they applied at the office of the Paymaster-General, and they there ascertained that Mr. \Valmisley had obtained from that office, on the 22'1 Jan., a sum of 213/. 19s. 6d., being money due from the Com mis:skaters of Woods and Forests, in respect of the park wall connected with Buckingham Palace gardens. This money he had received two days atter his dismissal on the 31st Dec., and bad not acc muted for it to his ens ployers. Col. Begot and he (Hr. Dowden) a'so disco vered that the late trustees of the Grovesnor pace did trict had drawn a cheque for payment to one of their contractors, and the cheque (to the amount of 158/. es.), was entrusted to Mr. Walmisley, who it appeared had paid it into his own private account at the London Joint Stock Bank, in ndl-ruall, on the 4th December. Since that deb!) he has drawn out the money, and on the discovery of this fact they had procured a warrant for his apprehension. Under theseicircumstances, they.. had thought it right to call a meeting of the vestry_ra, early a period as possible, particularly a s th e f . son to believe that other sums than those mentioned had been embezzlel by the same pereen. had rea- Lieut. Colonel BAGOT felt it his e s d . tr iv :y Guarantee Society had made th m es t r o es e p ta on ter sib th le at fo a r Mr. Wahnisley up to the 28th of July next to the amount well recommended to of 1,0001.; that the accused was the late trustees, thehi s rru k r k e e ti e e p s r b ) e , r a n n g dmr. pa L rt a n m er b e er i t n , a a wholesale house in the c it y (where he had bee n for many this oye ve da s s boo try.

Again, they had traced Mr.Walmisley to a particular part of the country, and when they thought the inspector of police whom they bad employed was likely to secure him they discovered that in the course of that afternoon samebody had been dow from London, and had gone away with the person answering the description of Mr. NVallnisley, the latter having het a carpet beg behind him. It was evident from all this that MzeiValmisley bad friends who would assist him in eluding justice, and he (Col. Begot) suggested that the parish should offer a reward for his apprehension. A discussion ensued, in the mime ot. which various questions arose as to the right of the pariah to offer a reward, as to whom fie properly in guess - lion was vested seeing that the trustees by wiimn:Kri-. 11' almieley WILL employed became defunct on the day the view-act yawn into opeatioa, and ca to vibes, proitco it 7.'4 to?_ Ore --- t=one such proceedings as rrfight be necessary to prole.. cute the offender. At length two resolutions were proposed by Nfr. A. Robin,on and seconded by Mr. &man, to the ffe.ct that the steps already take❑ by the conmeittes of Ye Ary, for paving and lighting the Groovener-place district, is ie vestigating the charges against the late clerk to the late trustees be approved, and that they be requested to take such further steps in the matter as may he necessary; and that they be s.utherisA to employ the parish solicitor to assist them, to incur such expenses as may be necessary, and in particular to offer a reward of 501. for the appre hension of the accused, and to pay such expenses out of the moneys of the late trusters. These resolutions were agreed to, and the bwiness terminated.
