It is stated that creditors are often un justly delayed and put to unnecessary expense in recover ing debts by reason of frivolous and vexatious defences to actions brought for the recovery of such debts. The mode proposed is that in a superior court a plaintiff shall make an affidavit of the claim, and on a defendant asaking an affidavit on the other side, leave must be obtained from a judge to appear. The act, if passed, is to take effect on the 10th August—the commencement of the long vacation. Adviees from Panama of the 6th Feb:mention that H.M.S.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This is one of those unfortunate cases that have frequently come before me of late, in which T have to determine which of two inno cent persons is to bear the loss occasioned by the fraud or default of a third person, who has squandered the property and cheated both of these parties. The case of the plaintiff is a person of the name of Triffen, was trustee of some money in the 3 per Cent. Consols, amounting to £2,400. Triffen was also trustee for the defendant, who was trustee of a sum of money exceeding that amount. This money he applied to his own pur poses. And this defendant and his solicitor in the cause, by searching inquiries which they made, found that he had adopted the following proceedings—he forged the name of this lady to a deed transferring this stock to him, and on the same day, the sth of May, 1858, the plaintiff joined with Triffen, and made a transfer of his fund in the name of Triffen, and then Triffen paid a sum to the fund transferred to make up the amount of the original stock of £B3 16s. 3d., which, with the sum of £2,400, made up the required amount. When this was done, he announced to the defendant that he had this £2,483 IGs. 3d. standing in his name in the Three per Cent. Consols as trustee in relation to this trust. Then the solicitor ascertained it was not so, and they were not satis fied with the security. Triffen has since died insolvent, and on his death this suit originated. The plaintiff on behalf of his ceseinque trusts claims the £2,400 as marked trust money, and that he is entitled to recover it as such, as it never lost its character as trust funds, and he never lost his character as trustee of it. lam of opinion that in this state of matters the plaintiff is not entitled to any relief. His Honour )n the authority of decided cases dismissed the plaintiff's bill, and regretted that costs must follow the result. Bill dismissed with costs. DICKENSON V. FOSTER. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, on reading this will, was of opinion that the lapsed legacies, in the events which happened, accrued to the surviving children, and that his real estate, and a fourth of the residue of his per sonal estate, shall go to his eldest son, and declared accord ingly, and dismissed the bill without costs. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) WHITMORE V. TURQUAND.-ATPEAE. The arguments in this appeal, from a decision of Vice- Chancellor Wood, were resumed and concluded. The Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. POLICE IN7 ELLIfiENCE—( This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY IN A TAVERN. Ezra Hinds, a watchmaker, of Stanley-street, Chelsea, was charged with stealing a breast-pin from the person of Mr. Richard Harvey, a resident at Southampton, but at present staying at 189, Waterloo-road. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. The prosecutor said he was at the Opera House Tavern about two o'clock that morning, when the prisoner, whom he had been talking to, touched him under the chin and drew his breast-pin from his cravat. He sent a friend who was with him for a constable and gave the prisoner in charge. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the prosecutor said—he had been at another public-house previously, " Scott's," and that he had spoken to some females. He did not know that prisoner had at the time £5 or £7 in his pocket. A witness named Smith, also from Southampton, said he saw the pin safe in his friend's scarf just before the robbery. George Mires, 48 C, said prisoner denied baying the pin. He found on him five and a half sovereigns and three dies— false ones—having on them two fours and two fives. Pri soner lived at a brothel. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate in a very able man ner on the prisoner's behalf, contending that the pin might have been taken by some of the females prosecutor had spoken to, and that there was no use for a jury. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he differed with Mr. Lewis entirely, and thought it was a case for a jury. He would, however, remand the prisoner for a week. THAMES. STEALING LOAVES FROM A BAKER'S SHOP.—James Ashmore, a half starved looking youth, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing six half quartern loaves. Mr. Seymour Tallent, baker, of Smith-street, Stepney, stated that a good deal of bread had been taken from his window. Last night he met the prisoner in Queen street, near his own house, with six half-quartern loaves in his arms. He at once suspected the prisoner, stopped him, took him back to his shop, and then missed the six loaves. The prisoner said that a boy gave him the loaves to carry for him. The prisoner's mother said that her son had been in want of employ several weeks, and no doubt distress caused him to steal the bread. Mr. Selfe said he could not admit the defence as an ex cuse. He committed the prisoner to the House of Correc tion for seven days. 2IIIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, March 2.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly ; fresh breeze, and fine weather.

Although the payment of the Turkish dividend was duly effected yesterday, it is plain that the regular pro vision of the funds was greatly jeopardised by mismanage ment. The bondholders are entitled to the produce of cer tain Customs' duties which the Government are bound to remit every month, and if this engagement had been pro perly fulfilled it would have been impossible for the:pre sent payment to have been made dependent in any way on the bills of M. Mires. It is to be hoped that steps will be taken without delay to insure that the matter shall be on a proper footing for the future. - A STRANGE TRIAL IN FRANCE.—The Marquis Dubois de la Motte, who died in 1843, left by his will to a female named Heree, who had been 30 years in his service as cook, a chateau and grounds, about 10,000 f. a-year, his library, and his late wife's diamonds, but subject to the express condition that she should never marry, because, said the will, 'at the age at which she has now arrived, marriage cannot add to her happiness.' The son of the marquis at tempted to have the will set aside, on the ground that the tes tator was not right in his mind ; but the Courts declared it valid, and the woman, accepting the condition imposed, en tered into possession of the bequest. She never thbught of objecting to that condition until a few months back when she notified to the De la Motto family her intention of marrying a man who is clerk to the juge-de-pair of the village of Janze, department of the Ile-et-Vilaine, at the same time intimating that, if they made any objection, she should institute legal proceedings to have the interdiction to her marriage declared null and void, on the ground that, under Art. 300 of the Code Napoleon, it is contrary to public morality. The De la Motto family did object, more, however, for the sake of the woman her self than ,for any other reason, she being 72 years of age, and it being therefore impossible that the man who wanted to marry her could have • any other object than to get possession of her property. She accordingly yesterday brought an action before the Civil Tribunal to be relieved of the interdiction to marry for the reason she had men tioned. The matter was argued at some length, but the Tribunal decided that, as at the time she entered into pos session of the bequest, she was of an age at which, if mar ried, there was little chance of her having a family, and as the testator had reason to fear that the bequest, by raising her to a position in society to which she was not accustomed might make her the object of speculation, there was nothing immoral in the stipulation against her marrying ; it said, too, that she was free to marry if she liked, on renouncing the legacy, It therefore dismissed the action with cost," PRUSSIA. A Berlin letter, of the 26th ult., states that the committee appointed to examine the bill imposing taxes on real property has made such progress that the Chamber of Deputies will be able to begin the discussion next week. The bill will pass through the Chamber with all despatch, in order that it may be soon submitted to the Chamber of Nobles, which has hitherto always rejected the proposed reform. The Chamber of Deputies will not vote the extraordinary expenses required for reorganis ing the army, unless the nobles consent to suppress the exemption from taxation hitherto enjoyed by landowners, so that the latter may contribute their share of the public expenditure. THIRD EDITION. AYUN OFFIC.E,:Six o'clock. THE MIRES AFFAIR. On Wednesday the Tribunal of Commerce in Paris was called on to decide a case arising out of the Mires affair. MM. Levy, Cochery, Calvet-Rognat, and other directors of the Roman Railway Company, cited Count de Germiny, as provisional judicial adminis trator of the Caisse-Generale des Chemins de Fer, and M. Mires, to show cause why they should not provide the company with means to fulfil the obli gations, as the Caisse had undertaken to do. They stated that M. Mires had entered into an engagement with the Roman Railway Company to supply it with the capital it required, by selling from time to time its shares and bonds. That at the present moment the company was in urgent want of 2,000,000 f. ; and they therefore prayed that Count de Germiny and M. Mires should place that sum at their dispostl, or that the company should be authorised to sell bonds to that amount or to raise a loan on deposit of them—and to do so at the risk of the Caisse des Chemins de Fer. M. Mires caused a representation to be made, that being detained au secret in the prison Mazas, he could not confer with his legal advisers, and should not. therefore, interfere in the matter. Count de Germiny prayed that the application might be dismissed, for the reason that the shares and bonds of the Roman Railway Company, proposed to be sold, belonged to the Caisse Generale des Chemins de Fer, and that the former had no right to deal with them in any way to the prejudice of the latter. The Tribunal, however, decided that, as the placing of the Caisse des Chemins de Fer under pro visional administration had prevented it from ful fulling its obligations to the Roman Railway Com pany ; and as the latter was in pressing need of 2,00(6000f. to pay works in course of execution, it might borrow that sum on deposit of its bonds, the rights of third parties being reserved. On Thursday, at the " audience des referes," Count de Germiny demanded of President Benoit Champy, through the medium of the avoue Cas taignet, that the ordinances issued on the 19th, 22d, '23d, and 25th of February, in reference to the various undertakings connected with the Caisse des Chemins de Fer, should be declared to include M. Mires, and to be in force as regards the latter. M. Castaignet demanded, also, that the powers of the Count de Germiny should be extended to all acts conservative of the personal effects of M. Mires. M. Petit-Bergonz, the avoue for M. Mires, replied that he had only yesterday received the copy of the summons, and that he was without any sort of instruction from his client, who had besides refused to take any notice of the summons, having up to that time been prevented from conferring with his counsel. Consequently, M. Petit-Ber gonz required of the President to defer giving his judgment till he (the avoue) had obtained authority to see M. Mires. _ . . President Benoit Champy deferred his decision till to-morrow (Friday). M. Petit-Bergonz repaired immediately after wards to M. Daniel, juge d'instruction. .RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

A writer in a contemporary says :—When the Episcopal Manifesto appeared, ten days ago, I ven tured to call attention to the fact that its predeces sors in past years had been either wholly inopera tive, or been disclaimed within a very short period by those who had put them forth. The declaration of the Bishops in the Upper House of Convocation has effectually done this work for the protest of the present occasion within even a shorter period than that which witnessed the retraction of the anti-Hereford protest by the Bishop of Oxford in 1847. The remarkable features of the present document are that it condemned as inconsistent with the Church of England and with the Christian religion a whole volume of the most varied character, and that this condemnation was signed by all the Bishops, though holding the most varied sentiments on those very subjects. Both these peculiarities are now destroyed. That astounding unanimity of the Bench which so delighted the ardent spirits of the Lower House of Convocation has crumbled into a chaos of dis cord. Two, at least, of the Bishops have declared that they except from their censure two, if not three, of the five clergymen whom the Archbishop's letter called to renounce their position in the Church, the authors of those three Essays being the very three against whom the popular panic has, in the addresses which have been circulated so freely through the country, been most actively and pointedly directed. I rejoice that there are still to be found Bishops who, though tardily, prefer truth to clamour, and justice to prudence. It would have been well if they had attached to the document which bore their signatures the same disclaimer of partnership with their fellow-subscribers as that which is prefixed to the volume under their consideration, and which, in fact, completely fulfils all the requirements made of the Essayists by the Bishops themselves : "It will be readily understood that the authors are re sponsible for their respective articles only. They have written in entire independence of each other, and without concert or comparison. ' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY. This was decidedly one of the least business-like days of the week, the only events touched upon being the Liverpol Grand National and the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes. For the latter 7 to 1 was offered on the field, while Russley and Matador were supported at 8 to 1 and 100 to 6 respec tively. Sweet Hawthorn was backed to win some money, 25 to 1 being the current taking price, which towards the close was reduced to 20 to 1, and easily obtained. 15 to 2 was offered against Franc Picard for the Grand National, 9 to 1 each was taken about The Emperor and Anatis, and 100 to 8 taken and wanted about Old Ben Roe. We have nothing whatever to report relative to either the Derby or Chester Cup.

(From the Galette of last Eveniug.) WAR OFFICE, MARCH 1. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her in tention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officers of 'her Majesty's Indian forces, whose claims to the same have been submitted for her Majesty's approval, on account of acts of bravery performed by them in India, as recorded against their names, viz.:— Colonel James Travers, late 2d Bengal Native Infantry— For a daring act of bravery, in July, 1857, when the Indore Presidency was suddenly attacked by Holkar's Troops, in having charged the guns with only five men to sup port him, and driven the gunners from the guns; thereby creating a favourable diverson, which saved the lives of many persons, fugitives to It is stated that Officers who were present c 022 Euro enabledanto the effect of the charge was to enable la n_ the s lt d m e :i ed aen t a. escape from slaughter, and time was guns.

In doing this, a personal conflict ensued, in which Captain, now Lieutenant-Colonel, Samuel James Browne, Commandant of the 2d Punjaatb Cavalry, received a severe sword -cut wound on the left knee, and shortly afterwards another sword-cut wound, which severed the left arm at the shoul der, not, however, before Lieutenant-Colonel Browne hai succeeded in cutting down one of his assailants. The gun was prevented from being reloaded, and was eventually captured by the Infantry, and the gunner slain.

The following address, in reply to his Majesty's speech from the throne, has been adopted in the Italian Senate : Sire,—Your Majesty's voice announces to us the event which fulfils the desire for political unity which has been so ardently entertained by so many chosen spirits, promoted by so many noble hearts, accompanied by such piety and such tears. " The work of many centuries, the greatness of Italy, is displayed to-day, thanks to a prodigious concurrence of various propitious causes. The valour of the armies and the good sense of the peoples have attained an object which a few years ago seemed beyond all human anticipation. Con fiding in the support of the opinion of the most civilised nations, and in accordance with the prin ciples inspired by liberal tendencies, and strength ened by enlightened experience, we may fairly hope that it will be granted us to demonstrate that a people that claims its own rights is on that very account more disposed to respect those of others ; that Italy, constituted in her natural condition, is destined to secure, instead of disturbing the real harmony and just equilibrium of the power s o f Europe. " The Senate is happy to share your Majesty's belief that the Emperor of the French will not abandon the generous designs which were for him a source of splendid glory, for us of powerful aid, and which were consecrated by the exploits of brave men and the applause of nations. The Latin blood will not belie its origin, and the various vicissitudes of the past will be forgotten in an ac cord of interests, aspirations, and affections. The support which free and powerful England gave in the severest trials to the cause of free peoples has not been wanting in present contingencies to Italy, and cannot be wanting in future. Nor, certainly, will the confidence be vain which we repose in the just judgment and deep feeling of generous Ger many, where a prince worthy of the nation he rules has already received by your Majesty's care ex pressions of the honour and the sympathy that are due to him. Among the brave it is always easy to come to an understanding. Moderation and calm ness are the prerogatives of the strong, and we who followed with anxious joy your enterprises now listen reverently to the prudent counsels that fall from your lips. To recognise the necessities of the present is to be prepared for those of the future. " The entire nation cannot but applaud all that has been done to strengthen the army and navy of whose conduct it is impossible to speak too highly. The military instinct of the Italian people, which was displayed in so spirited a manner by a brave band of young men, led by a captain of antique valour, who may v, ell be called the favourite son of victory, is an earnest that in future Italy will procure for herself, and from her own re sources, under the protection of Providence, all the elements of internal order and external defence. " The organisation of the new kingdom will be an object of the most assiduous meditation to the Senate, that it may come up to what is demanded by the present and suggested by the past. " Your house, Sire, had from the earliest times chosen the grand task of watching over the for tunes and procuring the independence of Italy. Your magnanimous father revived and enlarged the illustrious design by granting to his people consti tutional rights, and by initiating the movement for the national redemption. You, Sire, have been called to the last and decisive struggles in which, staking life and crown, you have gained the well deserved reward—the love of Italy, the admiration of Europe." 711 E PAPAL ATROCITIES AT COL- LALTO. A letter from Rieti to the Nazione gives the following account of the atrocities committed by Papal brigands at Collalto, announced in a telegram a few days ago : The small castle of Collalto, situated in the neighbourhood of Rieti, on the frontier of the Papal territory, hitherto celebrated in Italian history, will remain a perpetual monument of the tyranny of Cardinal Antonelli. The strong position of the castle, built by the Barberini, and its solid enclo sure, enabled the inhabitants, not numerous, to defend the approach to it against the hordes of brigands who on the 13th of February attacked it on all sides. Valiantly repulsed from the first, they renewed their attack with greater fierceness, and it was not till after three hours of a heroic defence, that the poor inhabitants of Collalto were forced to yield, for the succour sent them from the neighbouring parts could not approach the castle, and their ammunition was entirely expended. Then the victors, numbering more than 1,500 men, the scum of civilised nations, entertained by the Papal Government, entered Collalto in triumph with mules and horses, that they might carry off and secure their booty. Collalto, a commune containing upwards of 700 inhabitants; was given up to gene ral pillage. Not a house was spared ; the doors were everywhere smashed, the windows broken, the cottages of the peasants set on fire, the barns burned, ,so that nothing was wanting to complete this terrible scene. Bartolomeo Latini, the savant and physician, endeavoured to return to his house, but was recognised and arrested by a brigadier of the Pontifical gendarmerie, then barbarously , pierced with the bayonet. The sister of the un happy doctor, having run up to help her brother, was also wounded with the bayonet and pistol; the syndic was left dying ; the doorkeeper of the Imperi family was barbarously murdered, together with his wife ; a child only twenty months old was spitted by a bayonet, and so carried through the streets in sign of triumph. The arch-priest Latini was stripped of his priestly garments and clothed in the uniform of a soldier, that he might serve as a laughing-stock, and thus he was led amidst in sults and sarcasms into the castle, where he is at this moment kept close as a hostage. One of his brothers has become insane in consequence of all these family misfortunes. Now, these wretches have walled up the gates of the castle proper, and received reinforcements from Piozzio Giriolfo, both arms, ammunition, and soldiers, and here they stay, having fortified themselves with barricades. They have captured some twenty of the richest young men in the country, and under the pretence of legality they have instituted a council of war, that passes sentences. Bernardino and Giuseppe ari, brother of the unfortunate captain miserably assas sinated by the reactionaries at Carsoli, have ransomed their lives by a promise to pay the bri gands 4,000 ducats, half of which they have already given. How many families have been reduced to the most abject beggary ! On the 14th, while they were fortifying them selves at Collalto, a handful of these banditti invaded Petercia, which they abandoned in the night, after completely pillaging and disarming the inhabitants. THE POPE AND THE KING OF' .DEIV MABI The following is the text of the letter recently addressed by the Pope to the King of Denmark : " Pius, P. P. IX. " To the Most Serene and Most Puissant King, greeting : " We are informed, to our great satisfaction, by the venerable brother Paul, Bishop of Osnabruck, charged simultaneously with the functions of.apos tolical provicar of the Danish missions, of the testi monies of most special benevolence with which he has been received by your Majesty, during the visit he made on these missions. We have at the same time learned with lively joy that, ever animated with equal love towards all your subjects, you have granted to those among them that profess the Catholic faith the free exercise of their worship, the object of their constant desires. " This intelligence is for us a very sweet conso lation in the midst of the anguish and sad calami ties that oppress us on all sides, and which have come to afflict the Catholic Church in this time of sorrowful trial. H This is why we have been unable to prevent ourselves from offering to your royal Majesty our f t o h r an y k ou s r fo c r a t t h h i o s li m o a s r o k b joeoftss,oalincdituwdee record b t h eta in the care letter, which will be presented to y ou by h yyou . caLecoofntfihdeinsagmine yourvene g r m abalenannit brother.ii magnanimity, Ain your equity, shine in you, and the other eminent virtu es wia that to oe them, ventu by y venture to ho o p u e r th s a u t p y re o in u e . bewil a willing to ttoo your liberty in the exerci se o f thei r worship authority, the same other Catholic subj ects , Holstein and L auen b your posses s i ons in Ainuregri ects namely, to the inhabitants well as of Schleswig as to those of the duchies of e a a n , d a ntdo tthhaots you e wh w o i l i I n d h c a i b g i n t to listen, in the best spirit of equity, to the requests presented to y ou on this subject by the same vene rable brother.

" Meanwhile we shall not forget to beseech God that He will largely bestow on your Majesty all true happiness, and unite us to you in the sentiments of perfect charity. " Given at Rome, near St. Peter, the 31st of December, in the year 1860, and in the 15th year of our pontificate. ~ Pws, P. P.
