At length, fourteen days after its delivery, we were able yesterday to present our readers with the President's Speech • We hope the Galway Packet Company, or a company from that place, will promptly get into action, and bring us good tele graphic summaries of news infive days at least. It is proved that the thing can be done, therefore it must be done—done weekly or oftener. The Message is full of physical courage, but not wanting in moral cowardice. The brief announce ment we had by telegram is quite correct as far as it goes. Indeed, singularly enough, what We should think the quintessence of the Speech, i s the quintessence in regard to quantity al so , which, in an American document, is quite unusual. It is in these words :—" It is now recommended that you give the legal means for making this contest a short and deci sive one; that you place at the control of the Government, for that work, at least 400,000 men and 400,000,000 dols. ; that number of men is about 1-10th of those of proper ages within the regions where apparently all are willing to engage, and the sum is less than a twenty-third part of the money value owned by the men who seem ready to devote the whole. A debt of 600,000,000 dols. now is a less sum per head than was the debt of our Revolutionists when we came out of that struggle, and the money value in the country bears even a greater proportion to what it was then, than does the population. Surely each man has as strong a motive now to preserve our liberties as each had then to establish them." Mr. LINCOLN merely adds that a right result is worth more to the world than ten times the men and ten times the money ; though how the former could be found consistently with any adults being left for trade and agriculture does not, according to his just previous calculation, appear. The great difficulty for the Government is, he says, that men are offered faster than the Government can provide for them. Further on he illustrates the value of their in stitutions by the quality of his regiments—" So large an army as the Government has now on foot was never before known without a soldier in it but who has taken his place there of his ow, free `choice. tin gle regimout s But more than this, there are many whose members, one and another, Ilossess full prac tical knowledge of all the arts, sciences, professions, and whatever else, whether useful or elegant, is known in the whole world, and there is scarcely one from which there could not be selected a president, a cabinet, a congress, and perhaps a court, abun• dantly competent to administer the Governnient itself. Nor do I say this is not true also in the army of our late friends, now adversaries, in this contest. But it so much better is the reason why the Government which has conferred such benefits on both them and us should not be broken up." What will oar brave, but modest volunteers say to this ? When will the Sovereign, much less the Horse Guards, as the Sovereign's military servant, address them in this style ? With regard to the President's first remark, we beg to inform him that all our soldiers, as numerous as theirs now are, have " taken their places of their own free choice." As might have been expected from the general character of Presidents' Messages, the President writes as our Prime Ministers speak, stating his policy and justifying it by argument. He almost directly accuses Mr. BUCHANAN'S Government of complicity with the rebels. They had guns at Fort Sumter equal' i to the best of our own, and outnum bering them ten to one. A disproportionate share of Federal muskets had found their way south ; accumulations of public re venue were lying ready for them to se i ze ; the navy was scattered far and wide, and the officers were found ready to resign rather than fight for the Government, though their men con tinued steady. The animus of recording these facts in a message cannot be mistaken. His own avowed policy was, he says, to exhaust pacific means, as he proposed to do in his inaugural speech ; and he argues at length to show that the attack on Fort Sumter was a direct attack on the Go vernment. If the reader will turn to The Sun of the 18th of March, he will find towards the close of " The Inaugural" of Mr. LINCOLN, these words— " In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentary issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one, to preserve, protect, and defend it." Fort Sumter's fall con summated the aggression, the President argues, which compelled him to act upon his oath. The reader has seen that Mr. LINCOLN is very philanthropic. He feels the importance of this quarrel "to the world," to the civilised world of course. He thus clearly puts the case—" It presents to the whole family of man the question whether a constitu tional republic or democracy, a government of the people by the same people, can or cannot maintain its territorial integrity against its own domestic foes. It presents the question whether discontented individuals, too few in numbers to control the ad ministration according to the organic law in any case, can always, upon the pretences made in this case, or any other pretences, or arbitrarily without any pretence, break up the Government, and thus practically put an end to free government upon the earth. It forces us to ask, 'ls there in all republics this inherent and fatal weakness ?' Must a Go vernment of necessity be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence !" This is an adroit way of elevating the character of the struggle, but not quite an honest one. The real question is—Can a confederation, one half of which cherishes as the dearest social institution the " sum of all villanies," as honest JOHN WESLEY Called it, amalgamate under a common government, judiciary and administrative, with the other half free from this accursed abomination ? Mr. LINCOLN ought to know that the " whole family of man" takes an infinitely deeper interest in the abolition of that infernal institution, which he is content to take again beneath his wing, than in settling the question whether the federation of " Sovereign States" in a republic, or their uniting, as England, Holland, Belgium, and Italy have done, under a constitutional hereditary Sovereign, is the best mode of government. They know that the latter confers more political freedom than the tyrant mob allows in the United States; they can therefore be satisfied with it. Bat they know that slavery is a damnable violation of all humanity and religion, and not to be tolerated for an instant. It is on this point that Mr. LINCOLN lacks moral courage, as much as he overflows with that of the physical sort. If the reader turns to the almost unintelligibly vague paragraph on this subject, he will find it very suspicious looking. It talks of the Executive being guided by the law and the Constitution—and refers to his inaugural address as indicating the course he will take when the rebellion is suppressed. If our readers will look back again to the Sun of the 18th of March, they will see that he is there on very bland terms with slavery. He recites that wicked clause in the Constitution, which in direct contra riety to the noble old Hebrew Law forbidding any one to deliver up the bondsman escaped from his master, requires the unhappy fugitive slave to be given up to the lash. Righteous or wicked, says ABRAHAM LINCOLN, it must be done—we must do " the evil" of surrendering the fugitive slave, that " the good" of maintaining our blessed Constitution " may come !" Of such politicians we are tempted to add the words of the Apostle whom we have partly quoted—" whose damnation is just." Mr. LINCOLN is not the man for this crisis—not more so than LOUIS NAPOLEON was at Villafranea for the Italian crisis, or than Count RECHBERG and his Master were for the Hungarian crisis. He palters with the cause of all the trouble, andwith the first rights of 4,000,000 of men, as much American subjects as their masters. He knows that there is a - worm at the root of his beloved gourd—" the Constitutionthe Union"—which has sprung up so quietly, an not the courage to b are the of so large, that he has root, and to destroy the cause of the danger: Gi ve ree back, he piteously exclaims, give me b ack, if it cost 400,000,000 dollars, and 400,000 men, g i ve m e back my beloved Slave States, my precious elaveholders, and my millions of crea tures "held to labour," who have no rights I a m bound to respect, and whom I will send back if they stray for freedom, as I would horses or sheep, or swine, if they strayed for grass or roots: Such is the real interpretation of Mr. LINCOLN'S " in augural "—and for this precious object he asks the sympathy of " the whole family of man !" Mr. LINCOLN seems much afraid " lest there be some uneasiness in the minds of candid men as to what is to be the course of the Government towards the Southern States after the rebellion shall have been suppressed," and he endeavours by these vague generalities to allay their fears. He must remem ber, however, that it is not by trimming and truckling to timid friends of slavery that he can command the enthusiasm of the world. We fully concede that every inch of the legal argument against the rebels is on his side—but even he does not deny the right of revol u ti on , an d revo l ut i on is at the bottom always a question of strength. It i s , we acknowledge, very ingenious to represent the question as 9110 Whether " ballots or bullets" THE SUN, LONDON,Li FRIDAY EVENING; JULY 19, 1861 shall govern. Whether a majority sufficient to conquer at the ballot shall also be strong enough to put down a rebellion. Unhappily the alliteration is but a verbal painting of facts which will not bend. A people may vote on a question which one party deems too important to them to settle by a mere vote. It is a question of moral, religious, or political conscience with them. If the minority in such a case be small, then, like the Quakers, it can only suffer. But, if it be large, it can and will, in the present state of human nature, fight it out like the Roundheads and the Cavaliers. If all the nations on the earth would consent to appeal to reason, of course armies might be dispensed with ; but great bodies of men have strong wills as well as rea soning powers, and they will assert the former at the cost of millions of money and thousands of lives. The real issue, stript of Mr. LINCOLN'S very clever logic, is --Ist, that the South is determined to have its share of the territories for slavery, the North is determined that it shall not; 2d, that the South prefers separation to conces sion of its point, but the North is deter mined not to allow diminution of the vast area called the United States. The cause of the South is most hateful, since it is slavery pure and simple. But we are sorry to say the cause of the North is but a degree or two better; it is not abolition of the hateful Southern institu tion, but the retaining of that institution within the bosom of the Union. The North fights to aggran dize itself by a re-amalgamation with slavery ! It fights that it may still maintain a Fugitive Slave Law ! How much is this cause better than the Southern one ? Again the Lords have interfered with the Com mons with a view to the mitigation of their extrava gance. Again the Commons have resented the interference of the Lords, and have insisted upon carrying the point coute qui coute, or we should rather say cost what it will. The Lords' Amend ments to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill duly came under the consideration of the Commons last evening according to previous announcement. One only of those amendments, however, was taken into account yesterday. This amendment being the erasure from the original draft of the Bill, as it went up to the Lords of the conspicuous clause providing for the appointment of a new judge with a salary of £5,000 per annum—the judge who was to preside, according to the late Attorney-General, the now Lord Chancellor, over the new Court of Bankruptcy. Upon this amendment of the Lords the lawyers in the Commons debated at some length last evening, the House eventually by a decisive majority sweeping aside the said amendment, and restoring the clause providing for the new . Judge's appointment. A clear majority of nearly fifty (44), in a house of more than three hundred (302, with Speaker and tellers 307), resolving point blank that there shall be this new Judge to preside over the newly organised Court of Bankruptcy. Although—all the great Law Lords in the Upper House, with the single exception of the deceased Chancellor (CAMPBELL), agreed that there was really no need whatever for the nomination of any such judicial authority, for the expenditure of any such addi tional £5,000 per annum in the administration of the newly defined laws of Bankruptcy and Insol tive act anew in this particular according to the tendency of that year or two's experience. This suggestion, however, appears to have been deemed very indefensible by the solicitor-General, Mr. 11017NDELL PALMER, who irsisted " with regard to postponing the appointment of chief judge for a year or two, that if it were likely that the necessity for such an appointment would be urgent then, it was equally pressing now." Mr. PALMER apparently losing all recol lection here of the fact that it could not possibly be so very pressing in any way immediately—as we learn from the combined testimony of all the Lords in the Upper House, saving and excepting only the junior Baron Lord WESTBURY, the newly created Lord High Chancellor—the Author of the Original Bill, and therefore the opponent of the whole of the Lords' Amendments indiscrimi nately. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, SOUTH KENSINGTON.—On Saturday next the splendid band of the Royal Engineers, from Chatham, and also the band of the Ist Life Guards are to attend and play ; and on the following Saturday, the last public day of the season, the metropolitan police baud, who made so favourable an impression upon their first appearance there, will again per form in conjunction with the let Life Guards band.

THE GREAT FLOAT AT BIRKENHEAD.--At the weekly meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, held yesterday, a motion, pursuant to notice, was bronght forward by Mr. Bold, proposing to widen the large outer entrance of the half-tide dock at the great float from 100 feet to 130 feet ; and also to lengthen the northern wall of that dock to such an extent as would enable vessels of the size of the Great Eastern to enter and lay alongside the wharf. This alteration, besides increasing the width of the large entrance, would extend the water area of the dock from 8 acres to 11 acres. Its cost, he believed, would be about £30,000, which at 41 per cent. would cost in interest about £1,350 ; but if the Great Eastern made only one voy age ho said that would yield a sum of about £l,OOO. The alteration he suggested would give to the Liverpool and Birkenhead docks a water area of 356 acres, with 25 miles of quay space. On a division the motion was lost by a ma jority of 15 to 5 votes. RAILWAY COMMITTEES.—Yesterday in the com mittees of the Lords the Llanelly Railway Company and the Monmouthshire Railway Company Bills were passed. A committee, Lord Torrington in the chair, proceeded with the Swansea and Vale of Neath Railway ; and the New castle and Weardale Railway was taken in the committee of which Lord Stradbroke is chairman. A new committee has been cast to consider the bills of the Eastern Counties Railway, the Lynn and Sutton Bridge Railway, the Mid land Counties, and Shannon and Kilkenny Junction Rail ways. The committee on the subscription of railway com panies held another meeting. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY.—The returns recently made respecting the judicial proceedings of the year 18E0 show of what small amount the mass of the bank ruptcy and insolvency cases are, and how ill able to bear an expensive system of administration. About a thousand bankrupts had their balance sheets passed in the course of the year, and in 866 instances the debts owing by the bank rupt were under £5,000, in 398 under £l,OOO ; dividends were made in 968 cases, and in 562 of them the dividend was under 2s. 6d. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court 5,817 schedules were filed in the year, and in 5,184 instances the debts owing by the insolvents were under £1,000; divi dends were made in 701 cases, and in 593 of them the divi dend was under 2s. 6d. The returns of the Bankruptcy Court state that the sum realised for administration by that court in the year was £1,080,656, and the charges amounted to £329,440, or £3O 9s. Bd. per cent. The official assignees took £15,459; the solicitors £127,690; the court for its percentage, £26,566 ; the "messengers," £28,195 ; brokers, auctioneers, and accountants, £23,598 ; the bankrupts' allowance and excepted articles amounted to £31,265, and £9,478 was allowed for their accountants, and " other charges," including charges for carrying on trade, took £37,170. The Insolvent Debtors' Court realised £55,952 for administration, and the expenses of administration were £11,963, or £2l 7s. 7d. per cent. A DANGEROUS MISSILE.—On last Friday after noon, about 3 o'clock, a large conical cannon ball came whiz zing, with a velocity and noise almost frightful, close to the Old Thatched House beer-house, kept by Mr. Hockley at Rippleside, Barking, Essex. It was seen to fall in a field contiguous to this house by Mr. Hockley and Mark Gibbet, the marshman to Mr. Scales, the butcher. It tore up the earth for five yards in length, and buried itself six feet deep It was immediately dug out by two men, but was found to be so hot they could with difficulty handle it. IV e have seen the ball, which weighs 1061 b., is made of iron, and cased with lead ; it is conical, about 12 inches in length, and on the base are the letters R. L. It came across the Tilbury Railway, and in a direct line from Woolwich, which is four miles distant, at which place guns were firing at the time. It alighted within a short distance from some cot tages belonging to Mr. Curtis, the distiller, of Mile-end, and might certainly have done very great injury. Mr. llockley has the ball in his possession at present. It is desirable that he should communicate with the authorities at Woolwich to prevent any future mischief from missiles of a like character. A SERIOUS CHARGE.—A commission of inquiry, directed by the Lord Bishop of Worcester, in reference to the conduct; of the Rev. Mr. Morris, was held at Worcester yesterday afternoon. The rev, gentlemen before whom the inquiry was held were the Rev. D. Melville, Canon of Wor cester, Rev. T. L. Wheeler, and the Rev. R. Sargeant. They were directed to inquire whether there wero sufficient grounds for proceeding ecclesiastically against the Rev. Mr. Morris, who is charged with unchaste conduct. It ap pears that the rev, gentleman went to Worcester from New castle-under-Lyne a few months ago, and took up his quarters for the night at the Crown Hotel. He was fol lowed by certain parties who had traced him to Worcester, and who, proceeding to his bed room, found him in bed with a female. The inquiry was bold privately, but the de cision of the commissioners was made public after the close. They decided that there were sufficient grounds for taking further proceedings against the Rev. Mr. Morris. The rev. gentleman is note resident of the diocese of Worcester, but the inquiry was held at Worcester as being the place where the alleged delinquency took place. The facts wore noticed in The Sun at the time. A GALLANT ACTION.—On Monday evening last, as the mails were being carried on board the steamer along side the pier at - West Cowes, the man «ho was carrying them accidentally slipped and fell overboard, and would assuredly have been drowned but for the brave conduct of the steward of the Pearl, Mr. Henry Netter, who seeing the poor fellow could not swim and was sinking fast, with out a moment's hesitation jumped off the pier to the rescue, and in another moment was heard to exclaim with the ut most coolness, " Just throw us a rope ; I have the man all right." A ropo was immediately thrown over the side of tho vessel, and in about three minutes more the two were dragged into a boat and save 1. It is said this is not the first or second time this man has saved the life of a fellcw- OrlAiro ill thQ Name akawar, LATEST NEWS. PARIS, JULY 19.

Account 670 —lHome Debt vency. It is amusing to find Mr. MALINS last night coolly setting his own judgment up as superior to the combined judgments of the learned and pro found Law Lords who declared themselves unani mously in favour of this amendment. Having long studied the subject and being fully awake to the evils of the existing system, he observed that he (Mr. IVIALINs) considered " that it was not the unanimity of five or six Law Lords, however able, but who had withdrawn from practice for years and were alto gether unacquainted with the operation of the system, which would persuade him out of the opinion he had already expressed to the house, that without a Chief Judge the bill would be utterly worthless." That, it may be argued, settles the mat ter. Nothing further need be said in regard to it. Lord BROUGHAM may entertain a decidedly different opinion—so for that matter may Lord ST LEONARDS—and Lord LYNDHURST—and Lord CRANWORTH and Lord WENSLEYDALE. But—Mr. MALINs has studied the subject for a long while, and having done so has arrived at a diametrically opposite conclusion. Avror € are, : let the venerable Law Lords whose illustrious names have been enu merated, at once perform kotou before this "DANIEL comp to judgment." Mr. MALINS regards the Bill, without the clause insuring the Chief Judge to the new Court of Bankruptcy, as " utterly worthless ;" and 172 other members of the House of Commons thinking with him, and only 129 supporting the Lords' amendment, upon the occasion of last night's division, the amendment is put aside, in its turn, as " utterly worthless," and the House of Commons insists upon creating this new Judge and spending this additional sum of £5,000 per annum accordingly. The more we, reflect upon it the less are we disposed to regard this pertinacity in main taining the necessity for the retention of this particular clause in defiance of the Law Lords' amendment—as perverse and precipitate. It is perfectly true that, as Sir WILLIAM ATHERTON, the new Attorney-General, insists, there is an almost universal concurrence on the part of the mercantile community in favour of the institution of a Chief Judgeship. It is equally undeni able that the mercantile community of the metro polis, as Mr. CRAWFORD maintains, is in like manner all but unanimously in favour of the bill as originally drawn up by the new Lord Chancellor, Nay, as the learned gentleman asserts, although 48 firms in Manchester are known to have declared themselves in favour of the Lords' amendment, 800 .Lancashire firms, representing £200,000,000 of capital, have, on the contrary, petitioned against that amendment. All this cannot be denied ; and yet—for all that—there may be another side to the argument too ! For example, it would be difficult to gainsay the accuracy of Sir HUGH CAIRNS' statement, immediately prior to the division, when objecting to the ap pointment of a chief judge, that his jurisdiction would be simply co-ordinate with that of the five in commissioners reality be of b no more e krtcy and h thupana, sixth ht commissioner he for the Metropolitan district. It is simply because the Law Lords recognised that fast so very vividly that they united in the determination to strike out and lufo,l'l's, bee said Sir anustaesuupcerAfllnuoNtsis, a t the eextravagant.clauseas p e and there is obviously reason in this, "If next year the promised measure for consolidating the bankruptcy laws were brought forward, and it was proposed to abolish the commissioners, the appoint (under the circumstan ces ) ' pport."

The following appears in the Carlsruhe Gazette: " According to his custom, the King of Prussib, was taking his walk in the Lichtenthal Alice. He wished to join the Queen, who had started before him. Among the persons who accompanied the King was Count Flemming. A well-dressed young man had twice saluted the King without any notice being taken of him. He passed the King a third time, and rushing at him, fired two shots in quick succession. He was immediately collared by Count Flemming, and, with the assistance of passers-by, put in a cab and conveyed to the police station. " The King received a slight contusion in the neck, one bullet having penetrated the collar of his coat and torn his cravat. His Majesty continued his walk to Lichtenthal, and was the first person to communicate the fact to the Queen." Oscar Berker, who fired the pistols, is supposed to be a political lunatic. THE ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE. Mr. Lindsay, M.P., has received a reply from the Admiralty to the letter he addressed to the Duke of Somerset, inclosing copies of the resolutions passed at the recent meeting at the London Tavern, on the subject of the royal naval reserve. Lord Clarence Paget says :—" It would appear from your letter, as well as from the purport of the resolutions, that there are two points in the Admiralty proposals which have not met with the entire approval of the meeting, viz :-1. That the qualifications required are unnecessarily high ; and, 2, That, in respect to rank, officers of the naval reserve are not placed on an equality with officers of the same grade in the navy. With regard to the first point, my Lords will not object, in concert with the Board of Trade, to re-consider the regula tions, in order, as far as possible, to meet the views expressed in your letter. In reply to the second objection, that officers of the naval reserve are not placed on an equality with officers of corresponding rank in the navy when called out for service, and might be called on to serve under the command of lieutenants of the navy, my Lords would point out that, in the ordinary course of service, such a contingency would not arise, as, in vessels com manded by lieutenants, no other officers of that rank are employed. It would, of course, be impossible to provide at this moment for the various unforeseen contingencies which might arise in time of war. My Lords, there fore, do not think that they could, consis tently with their duty, enter into any positive en gagement on this point, further than to state that while, on the one hand, it will be their desire to treat the officers who have volunteered their ser vices with all the consideration their high character and experience deserve, on the other hand it is necessary to provide that, in all cases of the death, removal, or absence of the commanding officer, the command shall devolve on the senior officer of the royal navy, as is the case in the army, according to the Queen's regulations, wherein it is provided that officers of the regular or marine forces Coin mand the officers of equal d'gree belonging to oft er branches of the military service.' " Yesterday evening, at a Parliament held, after many adjournments, Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., was dis barred by the Benchers of the Inner Temple, and that fact was ordered to bo communicated to all the Judges of Law mul gSlAith MO 9tb.OV throe Inns of C9urt. PRIVATE FETE AT CREMORNE. The favourite Chelsea Gardens were last night engaged by an aristocratic party, who were deter mined to repeat the experiment of 1858, and were on this occasion more successful than before, for the fine weather enabled them to enjoy all the amusements with which the gardens abound. Mr. T. B. Simpson did all he could to honour his distinguished guests. The principal walks were' adorned with countless additional lamps, and the " monster platform," fitted up with singular taste and brilliancy, presented a really magnificent spec tacle. And what a quantity of sights wcre offered for the inspection of the curious ! The evening began with a juvenile fete, and early corners were amused with a race contested by a number of small bal loons, named after the lady patronesses, with the performances of the birds who have been brought to such admirable docility by Mademoiselle Van dersmerch, with a " grand balloon ascent," with the Swiss female singers, and Mr. Cooke's highly trained dogs and monkeys. These preliminaries settled, the serious business of the evening began ; and adults might witness the capital ballet, the equestrian feats in the cirque, the graceful ex ploits of Leotard, the fireworks, and the fire king. All these sights were viewed with infi nite delight by the select patrons of Cremorne, and the gardens would have been quite as lively as on ordinary occasions if there had been the usual amount of dancing on the platform. Most of the refined visitors were, however, content to see what there was to be seen without becoming, like vulgar folks, a part of the exhibition. The proceeds of the entertainment are to be applied for the benefit of the Spitalfields weavers. Another fete of the same kind is to take place next Wednesday, when the stringent regulations with respect to vouchers—those filters of good society—will be relaxed for the benefit of the charity. The arrangements made by Mr. Simpson were highly appreciated by the company, and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the evening. Mr. Simpson takes his farewell benefit on Thurs day next, when his usful and popular connection with these gardens during a period of ten years will be brought to a close. Mr. E. T. Smith will inaugurate his succession to the gardens on the 6th of August. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN SHIRE. The directors of this company have just issued their half yearly report. It states that the total revenue from all sources for the half-year ending the 30th ult amounted to £340,022, and the total expenditure to £184,028, leaving a balance of £155,994, which, with the balance of £1,104 from the previous half-year, gives a total sum of £157,098 available for interest and dividends. The de benture and other interest charges against the half-year amount to £60,127, the canal annuities to £14,143, the dividend on debenture stock to £1,175, the dividend on the £6 preference shares to £23,690, the divi dend on the 31 per cent. preference stock to £5,959, the dividend on the 6 per cent. preference stock to £26,160, and the dividend on the new £lO redeemable 6 per cent. shares to £9,750, making a total charge of £141,004, and leaving £16,094 available. A dividend on the ordi nary stock at the rate of 15s. per cent. per annum will absorb £14,699, and leave a balance of £1,395. The company's share of net profit in connexion with the South Junction Railway has been £7,544 against £6,673 in the corresponding half of 1860. During the month of December, and part of the months of January and Feb ruary, the company's canals were almost entirely closed, in consequence of the very severe frost, and a loss of £3,000 at the least has been caused to the canal revenue thereby. The whole of the unsettled claims between this company and the London and North-Western, on both sides, have been adjusted, balanced, and settled by a fair and friendly compromise. By the legislation of this session the railways of this company are extended to the Mersey, and into dis tricts of great importance elsewhere. The capital account shows that £9,269,902 had been expended to the 30th ult., leaving a balance of £171,303. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this line for the week ending the 29th of June amounted for local passengers to 18,269 dols., for foreign passengers to 4,626 dols., for emigrants to 2,500 dols., for mails, &c., to 3,266 dols., for local freight and live stock to 21,653 dols., for timber and lumber to 3,318 dols., for firewood to 2,442 dols., and for foreign freight and live stock to 3,335 dols.,—total, 59,409 dols. against 55,761 dols., showing an increase of 3,648. The total traffic from the Ist of July, 1860, to the above date amounted to 3,448,819 dols., against 2,904,658 dols for the corresponding period of the preceding year, showing an increase of 544,161 dols. or 18.7 per cent. ILLINOIS CENTRAL. It appears that in the land department of this company the sales of land for the month of June amounted to 104,105 dols., and the collections to 37,870 dols. The traffic on the rail way for the six months ending the 30th ult. amounted to 1,437,664 dols., against 1,172,885 in the same period of 1860, showing an increase of 264,779 dols. The land sales for the six months amounted to 962,362 dols., against 265,086 dols., showing an increase of 697,276 dols., and the collection in the land department amounted to 328,134 dols., against 272,478 dols., showing an increase of 55,656 dols. ; making the total receipts from all sources 2,728,161 dols., against 1,711,449 dols., showing an increase for the first six months of 1861 of 1,017,712 dols., as compared with the corresponding period of 1860. The officials in the report state that the blockade at Cairo (the southern terminus of the line) deprived the company of a valuable freight business, and although both the Mobile and Ohio and Mississippi Central Railways were working through to Columbus, passengers were so much molested by mobs in the shape of vigilance committees that very few ventured south, and those who came north did so at the peril of their lives. They state that the cur rency question was settled in Illinois, and that upwards of 4,000,000 dols. in gold and bank-notes had been delivered at Chicago from the 25th of May to the sth of July inst. The corn-fields in Illinois were never larger or more promising than at present. The winter wheat was cut for a consider able distance north, and the yield was large. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day the supply of English wheat was very moderate. Both red and white qualities, however, move off slowly. Nevertheless, prices ruled firm. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the transactions were to meet actual wants, yet all descriptions were held at quite previous rates. The dealings in cargoes afloat were by no means nume rous,:on former terms. For grinding and distilling barley we have to report a slow demand. Prices, however, ruled about stationary. The malt trade was tolerably Arm, but the business doing was far from extensive. Oats changed hands steadily, and prices were well sup ported. Beans and peas were a slow sale, but without leading to any material change in their value. Flour was in only moderate request at previous cur rencies. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Vi'helt. Barley. Malt.

(Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, and other Peers.) EARL OF FIFE ET AL V. DUFF AND ANOTHER-EX FA.E.TE AS TO CERTAIN RESPONDENTS. The further hearing of this appeal was resumed this morning. This is an appeal from a decision of the Lords of the First Division of the Court of Session in Scotland declaring that the appellant heir of entail in possession was not entitled to enter into an agreement with the purchaser for the sale of the lands of Carroldstoun for £132,000, to the prejudice of the succeeding heirs of entail. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Roundell Palmer, Q.C,, re sumed his argument for the appellant in reply. The learned counsel contended that if the deed of 1721 did not make an entail without the deed of 1728 it was abso lutely necessary that both these deeds should have been registered in the Register of Talzies, and, as these deeds were not registered in terms of the Act, 1685, there was no entail of these lands. The deed of 1721 contained only a personal right to the lands, and there was no entail of the lands by any subsequent deed ; therefore the appellant was entitled, as heir of provision, to sell the lands in question. The learned counsel, in support of his argument, referred to the following cases :—Cathcart (1 House of Lords' cases) ; Renton (2 Bells, Court of Session cases, p. 227) ; Stair, book 2, title 3, section 43, second edition, p. 236, 1832; Entail, Morrison's Appendix, No. 1, Talzies ; and urged in conclusion that the interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary in favour of the appellant should be affirmed, and the decision of the Court of Session in favour of the respondent reversed. At the conclusion of the arguments the noble and learned lords retired for consultation. The Lord Chancellor, considering the great import ance of the case to the parties, and as settling important points of law in Scotland, remitted the case to the Court of Session, with instructions to take the opinion of all the judges of the Court of Session, including the Lords Ordi nary of both divisions of the court, and to report their opinions thereon to this house (as was done by Lord Lynd hurst in the case of Renton against Anstruther, already re ferred to), before giving judgment.

This is an appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland as to the costs of an appeal dismissed by this house, taxed at £3lO, the expense of reducing a bond for £4,500, alleged to be due by the directors of the Edinburgh and GlasgoW Bank in 1853 (1 and 2 Vict., cap. 13). Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., is now being heard for the appellant. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) THE LEATEER TRADE.-RE P. H. PAYNE. This bankrupt was described as of Bermondsey, leather merchant, and to-day was appointed for consideration of his certificate. The bankrupt had formerly carried on business in part nership with a person named Clerk, but they were com pelled to give up about 12 months ago, in consequence of a loss of £lO,OOO by Davis and Co., boot manufacturers, who failed. The bankrupt continued the business on his own account, and now owes £BOO, liabilities £1,600, assets £36. There was no opposition, but his Honour said that with such figures he could only grant a common certificate. IN RE WM. CRAFT. This bankrupt had carried on business at Maidstone as a baker, and now applied for his certificate, supported by Mr. Buchanan,. Ba•inghall-street. There was no opposition, From the accountants, Messrs. Johnson and Wilson, Moorgate, it appeared that the debts are only £3OO, but there was a deficiency in January, 1860, of £lO6. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the third class. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) THE NEUCHATEL EXPORTATION COMPANY V. BOLTON IMPORTANT TO FOREIGN COMPANIES IN LONDON. This was an action to recoverLB 2s. for six silver watches sold and delivered. Plaintiffs are watch manufacturers, carrying on business in Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn, sad Switzerland. In March last defendant, a retail watch maker, ordered six silver watches, which were duly deli vered, but not having been paid for this action was brought. A witness proved a promise to pay, and the jury found at once for the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs' counsel applied for a certificate for costs. The learned Secondary—Upon what grounds ? Counsel—Two residences. One at Switzerland. The learned Secondary—But you aro at Bartlett's•build• ings for all purposes ? Counsel—lt has been held that where there are two reg. - deuces a certificate its to to granted. The learned Secondary--I must leave you to apply to the Judge at Chambers. I pans no opinion upon the matter, but must refuse the certificate. WRIT OF INQUIRY FOR GOO;')S SOLD AND DELIVERED. RYDER V. CHARTRES. This was a writ of inquiry to t wsess the damages laid at £149 4s. 10d. sustained through defendant's not accounting for certain goods consigned to him. It appeared that some velvets had been sent to defendant, and he had accounted for a portion, but not for a quantity valued at £149 4s. 10d. • The jury, of course, found for the plaintiff for £149 4s. 10d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Dail.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY IN ST. MARTIN'S COURT.—SINGULAI L CASE.—Two young men, named William Jones, 12, Cecil court, and Thomas Bunter, 18, Lumber-court, were charged with breaking into and entering the house, 4, St. Martin's' court and stealing several articles, the property of gen/ Barnes. William Gordon, 336 A, said—At half-past one the morning, while passing through St. Martin's-court, I sag' the prisoners and another man at the door of 4, St' Martin's-court. Seeing the prisoner Jones with a cost on his arm, and knowing him as a companion Of housebreakers, I tried to stop them. The prisoners ran into Cranbourne-street, and ho followed them, calling " Stop thief 1" and then saw Jones throw down the coat? and in Newport-street Jones was stopped by 62 C, and the other by 64 C. I brought back Jones to where the coat produced was picked up, and he said, " It's all right. I took the coat, but found it near the door." I searched Jones, and in his pocket I found some matches correspond" ing with some found on the stairs of No. 4. The coat pro' duced is the one picked up, and is a constable's uniform coat. Bunter said he had not been near the house. Bunter—Not " in" the house. Henry Barns, 197 C, and under gaoler of the court, said —I live at 4, St, Martin's-court, and am in charge of the house, which is otherwise unoccupied, it being to let. The coat produced is my uniform coat. I slept in the house last night, and, unfortunately, rather soundly; and on being awoke this morning by Gordon, 336 A, I found that the house had been entered, and my uniform coat, a macintosh , and a bunch of keys belonging to the court were gone ; also a silk handkerchief, which I never expect to see again. The house belongs to James Brownlow William Gascoigne Cecil, Marquis of Salisbury, and must have been entered by means of skeleton keys. Edward Henry Barns, son of the last witness, said- 1 was the last up in the house and saw all the fastenings secured. This being the whole of the evidence, the prisoners, who reserved their defence, were committed for trial. VHS DAPS SHIPPING.
