At one period it was feared that all control of the crowd would be lost by the police, and that more serious acts of lawless ness would occur. The State Legislature of Penn , Sylvania had enacted a law making any connivance with the enemies of the Government punished by a fine of 5,000 dols., or ten years' imprisonment. The Governor of Massachusetts had been ordered by Government to forward 040 privates to Fort Menroe, Virginia, without delay. Another body of troops was ordered to be kept in readiness. The action of Massachusetts appears to be much more energetic thau that of any of the other States. Pre sident Lincoln has issued orders to garrison Harper's Ferry, and Forts Washington, Monroe, and others. A quantity of shell and shot had been removed from the Washington navy-yard to Georgetown, in view of a possible attack on Washington from that direction. The route between Philadelphia and Washington would be guarded by Western troops. No orders had yet been issued to blockade the Southern ports or to stop the mails. One thousand volunteers from Baltimore had tendered their ser vices to the Government in Maryland's quota. The New York State Legislature had passed the Three Million War Bill with only one negative. Orders had been received at the Norfolk (Virginia) naval yard , to fit up the Merrimac immediately, and to tow out all the war vessels from the port. The intention of the Government to declare martial law in the dis trict of Columbia had been abandoned, in view of the excellent order which everywhere prevailed, and the marked sympathy for the Government which was generally exhibited. The navy-yard at Brook lyn was a scene of great activity in getting out ves sels. A despatch from New York states that the ship Andover, from New Orleans, had been seized, the master fined, and the cargo forfeited. Sixteen vessels from Southern ports with Southern clear ances have been seized. Some - were fined 100 dols., and others were held. The District Attorney would carry out the law relative to selling arms to main tain the war by the seceded States. Superintendent Kennedy would order the arrest of all correspon dents of newspapers in the seceded States sending information of the Government movements. The editor of the Herald had been hooted in the streets, but was protected by the police. There were ru mours of an attack on the Herald-office. The cap tain of the ship Manhattan having entered Boston harbour with the secession flag flying narrowly escaped " lynching." The flag was seized and torn into a hundred pieces. Major Anderson's popu larity was on the wane at New York, and charges of treason were being levelled against him. His sympathies are reported to be entirely with the outherns. From the neutral States the advices show symp toms of a Secessionist tendency, as the following telegrams show : " ST. LOUIS, 16. " Governor J ac k son w i ll refuse to comply with APRIL the requi sition for troops. " RICHMOND, 16. "An ordi nance o f secession will pass within APßlL two days. The Governor will issue no proclamation till he receives an official copy of President Lincoln's proclamation. The Go vernor has received a notification of a requisition for 3,000 men. "BALTIMORE, APRIL 16. " Governor Hicks has returned from Washington, and thinks Maryland should continue to maintain the same posi tion in this unnatural contest she has hitherto maintained. He regards it as the duty of every Marylander to stand by the Union and the Constitution, and protect the national capital from invasion and sustain the general government. He has not yet received an official copy of the President's requisition for troops, but will respond to it in a day or two. Enlistments for the army and navy are rapidly progressing here, particularly for the latter. The Minute Men and other bodies of Union men are organising for the support of the government. "NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, APRIL 16. "The excitement continues. The strongest determina tion is manifested to resist Mr. Lincoln's war policy. 100 guns were fired here, and there is great rejoicing over the fall of Fort Sumter. An order has been Teceived to fit out the United States' steamer Merrimac immediately, and to tow out all war vessels from the port. "WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, APRIL 16. "One of the largest meetings ever held in Delaware con vened to-night. Resolutions-were adopted condemning and repudiating the course of Senatorßayard as having an anti- Union tendency and unworthy of a patriot and Delawarian. "LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, APRIL 16. "There was an enthusiastic meeting of citizens opposed to Mr. Lincoln's war policy to-night Ttoßointiont4 Were unanimously adopted that Kentucky will not permit the marching of troops to the Confederate States, but will share the latter's destiny, if war must come, and endorsing the Governor's response to Secretary Cameron's requisition. "PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, APRIL 16. "At a meeting irrespective of party, to-night, resolutions Were adopted recommending the Governor to convene the Legislature, that we are with the South in interest and action, that the Governor be requested to issue a proclama. tion for a Convention at Frankfort as early as practicable to consider the future destiny of Kentucky, and calling on the people of Kentucky to ignore party feelings and oppose to the last the coercive and fratricidal policy of the Executive. " NEW YORK, APRIL 10. " A special despatch to the Post, from 'Washington, says it is reported that the Governors of Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, and Missouri will refuse to respond ' l to the requisition for troops. Maryland, however, responds promptly, and a Baltimore regiment tendered its services to the President to-day. UISVILLE, 16. . " The Co ur i er publishes" the LO following reply to APRIL the Sec retary of War : " ' Your despatch is received. In answer, I say empha tically, Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked pur pose of subduing her sister Southern States. " ' B. MAGOFFIN, Governor of Kentucky.' " RALE, APRIL 15 " Your de s p a t c h i s received, and, if gen lGH uine--which . its extraordinary character leads me to doubt—l have to say, in reply, that I regard the levy of troops made by the Ad- Ministration for the purpose of subjugating the States of the South as in violation of the Constitution and an usurpa tion of power. I can be no party to this wicked violation of the laws of the country, and to this war upon the liberties of a free people. You can get no troops from North Caro lina. I will reply more in detail when your call is received by mail. " JOHN W. ELLIS, Governor of North Carolina.' " It appears by a telegraphic despatch that Governor Ellis has sent the following despatch to Captain Craton : Can you take Fort Macon with your company ?' " MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, APRIL 16. " A tremendous meeting was held here to-night, which resolved Memphis out of the Union. Tb ere are no Union Men here." The advices from the South teem with accounts of the enthusiasm of the Secessionists. President ba.vis's answer to President Lincoln's proclamation 'Wits of the curtest. He said, " Fort Sumter is ours and nobody is hurt. With mortar, paixhan, and petard, we tender Old Abe' our beaux regards." An offer is reported to have been made to the Trea sury department at Montgomery to take the whole loan of the Confederate State, fifteen millions, at par, by parties in New Orleans. General Pillow had guaranteed to raise 10,000 troops in Tennessee if President Davis would accept them. A naval commission had been appointed, composed of Com mander L. Rousseau, Commander E. Farren, and Lieut. Chapman. The object of the eommission is the purchasing or contracting for a certain number of gunboats, ship-rigged propellers of- 1,000 tons burden, capable of carrying at least one 10-inch and four 8-inch guns. These vessels are to be well built, of light draught and great speed, suitable for those waters. According to the latest advices from New Orleans, more troops had left for Pensacola. All the law courts had been closed until May. Im• Mense quantities of munitions of war were arriving at Savannah. From Charleston we learn that the _Feder a l vessel left for New work on the 16th with A v l e a sl jor A n d erson; se On the 15th t h ey stopped three a from coming in la s t n i ght, one with the Spanish with the gone with the British, and the other short tim e American flag. The and y were det a i ne d a 4 , uuen allowed t o proceed. Troops continued to p our i Half-disciplined as n from a ll parts of the State. many of them were, they had to undergo rigid drills. Three regiments were en camped at the Race Course, and, two at Pikesville, three miles beyond. Gen. Beauregard WU strengt ening every position. He had offer s of regiments from Alabama and Georgia. At Columbia every man from 16 to 60 was under arms. The flag was lowered on Fort Sumter under a salute of 50 guns, duringT which one gun burst and killed three men. Th_he fire in the fort had been quite extinguished. e Charleston ~ltercury states that the gun Whi c h did Port Sumter the most damage was a Blakely Govrifled 12-pounder, which was presented to the State ernment by Mr. Preslow, same gun Won a plize of Liverpool. Thi s at the ili g h town ar till ery Con test last year, THE CAPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY. The steamer Dane, with the mail from the Cape of Good Hope, has arrived here. She brings 40 passengers, £2,000 in specie, and a cargo consisting of wool, wine, copper ore, ivory, and argol. She left Table Bay on the 23d ult., St. Helena on the Ist, and Ascension on the sth inst. The Cape Parliament was to meet on the 26th April. The most important question for discussion was that of finance, on account of the expenditure advancing in excess of the revenue. The causes assigned for this were the increase in the Govern ment expenses, the expenditure for the construction of roads, and the reduction in the sources of revenue. Various schemes had been proposed to meet the exigency. A commission had been appointed to make the necessary arrangements for representing the colony in the forthcoming Exhibition in London. Tire Supr eme C our t h a d d ec id e d i n f avou r of the Diocesan against Mr. Long. Considerable progress had been made with the works connected with the Cape Town Railway. A portion of the line would soon be opened. The separation movement continued. The affair was, however, in much the same state as it was two months since. The frontier districts and the east ern province were favourable to the movement. The northern and midland districts, however, were opposed to separation. The western province was neutral. The League was calling upon members of Par ,iament to resign. General agricultural meetings had been held in Cape Town. The vintage was a great failure, the produce having been only one-tenth of the usual quantity. Five hundred tons of sulphur had been ordered, for the purpose of endeavouring to cure the disease. The immigrant ship, Royal Albert, had arrived at the Cape. Mr. Baines, of the Livingstone expedition, left for the Zambesi on the 21st of March. The Forte was expected from Ascension. The Gorgon had arrived. The Lyra was expected from the Zambesi. The Fury had arrived from China. The trade at the Cape had undergone no change. The Dane brings upwards of £5OO for the relief of the sufferers by the floods in the Netherlands. MONET MARKET AND CIT.Y NEWS. .1 CITY, Two o'CLocK. The City presents a quiet appearance, the Stock Exchange being closed as usual on the Ist May, when the Transfer offices of the Bank of England are shut for the adjustment of the half-yearly accounts. About £14,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a further slight advance. Gold is now about 2-10ths dearer in Paris than in London, and 3-10ths higher in Hamburg than here. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have adopted the following resolution :--" That all bar gains for the June account in Consols be quoted with the dividend until and including the account day." There was less activity in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday ; prices, however, were well supported. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. An active demand for money is now experienced, and a slight advance is aeported in the rates. At the meeting of the creditors of Messrs. C. A. and T. Ferguson, mast, oar, and block makers, of Millwo.% it was resolved that the estate should be wound up under a deed of inspection. The liabilities were stated at £21,684, and the assets £9,718. The Dane, from the Cape of Good Hope, brings £2,000 in gold. The sum of £27,900 has been paid into the Indian treasury, on account of the capital of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company, A call of £Z per aherP, rininailthic in the aggre gate to £1,500,000, has been made on the South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian Railway, payable on or before the 15th inst: The commercial advices from the Cape of Good Hope are rather unfavourable, increased dullness having been experienced in most departments of trade.

The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day, was again much restricted. Really fine samples were in fair request, at full prices, but all other kinds were a dull inquiry, and the quotations had a downward tendency. The show of foreign wheat was large and siles pro gressed heavily in all descriptions, at a decline of Is. per quarter. In cargoes afloat a limited business was doing, on rather easier terms. Malting barley met a steady sale, at extreme rates, but other kinds were quite neglected. :dolt moved off slowly, at previous currencies. Oats were in steady request, and prices were well sup ported.

THE PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 21 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about the same prioe in London as in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sl7,ht is 107 i to;107/ per cent., which, when compared With the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present ra te iviwee no profit on sending gold to the United Stites.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.) In the absence of the Speaker, from indisposition, Mr. MASSEY, the Deputy-Speaker, took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Sneyds Branch Railway Bill 'was read a third time, and the following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—London and North-Western Railway (Chester and Holyhead Railway) ; Newgate and Metro politan Meat and Poultry Markets; Penazth Harbour, Dock, and Railway; Enniskillen and Bundoran Railway; Scottish Widows' Fund and Life Assurance Society. The Haslendon Union Gas Bill and the Lambeth Bridge bill were read a second time. Several private bills were also read a first time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of and against the repeal of the duty on paper; in favour of the Poor Law Removal Act ; for the consideration of the law relating to pawnbroking, with a view to its amendment , against the Parochial Assessment Bill; for a repeal of the grant to May nooth ; against legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, &c. MARRIAGES IN IRELAND. Mr. VANCE, in the absence of Sir H. Cairns, gave notice that on that da,y fortnight he would move for a select committee to inquire into the marriage law in Ireland. CONVEYANCE OF VOTERS BILL. Mr. COLLIER said that as there was a similar bill to the present before the house he would consent to the postponement of this bill for a fortnight. The second reading was accordingly postponed. RECOVERY OF DEBTS BILL. On the motion for going into comrnitteee on this bill, Mr. WMAHON moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day six months. He contended that the measure was quite unnecessary, and no case what ever had been made out for its introduction, It' F was not to the house merely by the three gentlemen whose names were on the back of it. There was no particular hardship inflicted on the creditor in the recovery of debts under the existing state of the law. It could not be said that the bill was required on the ground of delay in law, or the absence of facilities in the favour of the creditor. He con tended, also, that this bill would inflict great hardships on the debtor, who, if he omitted to swear before the hearing of the case that he had a good defence, he would be deprived of the power of defending the suit. Such legislation was exceptional and objectionable. Mr. 'Mellor, Mr. Montague, and Mr. Henley, opposed the bill. Mr. HADFIELD supported the bill. Mr. ROEBUCK opposed the bill, and said so extensive a change was proposed that the measure ought to be intro duood by some party in authority. The house then divided on the motion for going into com mittee, when there appeared— For the motion ' 23 Against Majority against , . —9B CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICES AMENDMENT BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. WALPOLE moved that it be referred to a select committee. The motion, after a short discussion, was agreed to. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BILL. Mr. LOCK E KING moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to enable clergymen to conduct religious ceremonies in other places than their own parish churches. The law at present forbade any such parsons officiating, and many of the members of the house must recollect the state of excitement that was occasioned a short time ago by a clergyman of a parish in the Strand, who refused to give his sanction to certain eminent divines of the Church of England performing divine worship in Exeter-hall. The bill sought to go back to the practices which prevailed at the Reformation, and which he believed prevailed in the Roman Catholic Church at the present period. It was often complained that they had no sufficient expression of opinion from the Government on these Wednesday questions; but in this case there would be no such objection, because the bill was drawn up in accordance with the expressed opinions of the right hon. gentleman who presided at the Home-office. He therefore anticipated the support of the Government, as he believed the measure was a thoroughly Church of England one. He concluded by moving the second reading of the bill. Mr. S. ESTCOURT had great objection to the bill, so much so that he should move that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He could not but regret that the present formed another of those now very frequent occurrences of the Wednesdays being entirely consumed by religious discussions. He looked upon this bill as one to give mote power to the archbishop and bishop, who, by its provision, might grant a licence to any clergy man of the Established Church to perform Divine service in any parish whatsoever without the consent of the incumbent. The giving such a power was most objectionable, as it would lead to heartburnings and other bad feelings where there was not the slightest occa sion. He did not think that it was desirable or proper that a bishop should have the power of planting in any particu lar parish a rival or competitor to the resident incumbent. Sunday after Sunday, if this bill was passed, would witness scenes that would be productive of the greatest evil. There would be High Church and Low Church in active opposi on in the same parish, and perhaps within a very short aistanar of one another. If they took the trouble to look at the old chronicles about the period of 1230 the hon. mem bers would there find what were the effect of contests between what at • that time was called the "regulars and the seculars." He did not mean to say that those disturb ances would again revive to the same extent if this bill passed, but disturbances on the same principle might natu rally be expected. The bill was a very meagre and unsa tisfactory one, and he hoped the house would not agree to suddenly alter a law which had existed for the last 300 or 400 years. Sir G. C. LE \VIS said he.should give his vote for the second reading of the bill, provided the provisions of it were more clearly defined. He did not think the results expected by the hon. gentleman who had opposed the measure would arise if the bill were agreed to ; but before he could give his unqualified consent to the bill, there were certain amendments which must be made, because it interfered unnecessarily with the rights of the bishop. By the bill be saw it was proposed not to inter fere with the rights of the parochial clergy, because, as he understood, it was not sought to put another officiating clergyman into the church of any particular parish or other consecrated building. The bill did not provide for any en dowment, and the licence to officiate did not confer the power of peaforming the ceremony of marriage or of admi nistering the sacrament. He did not believe the strife and rivalry that had been spoken of would arise, n eitherdid he see any cause of danger to the Church from this bill. If the bill r 9491 4 04 cmaittee, and the hop, geatlaaaa 1114 liad brought it forward would then introduce the safeguards he thought ncoessor:-, viz , for r - mdering the consent of the bishop necessary previous to the officiating clergyman entering on his new duties, and also clauses to remove all doubt about the bi,Lops' jurisdiction, he should vote for the second reading. • Lord J. MANNERS opposed the bill, which he thought most mischievous, and one which would act in a way very detrimental to the rights of many of the clergymen of the Church of England. He was not surprised that the hon. gentleman who had just sat down had expressed his intention of voting for the second reading of the bill, pro vided the rights of bishops were not interfered with. It appeared to him that the hon. gentleman did not at all care about the rights of the incumbents, as they were unimpor tant people, but bishops were not so. They had seats in the other house, and were not the sort of persons to be treated with slight. They were persons wh o now exerc i se d great power, so it was necessary their right s s h ould be pre served. It was said the bill did not interfere with the rights of the incumbent, but he was of opinion that it would work most dangerously, and ultimately lead t o a total breaking up of the parochial system. Mr. BASS said he should support the bill, becau se h e thought it would give great relief where there was no church either high or low, or where the parish church was situated at so great a distance as to preclude all possibility of many of the residents from attending divine worship at all. Ile thought it a measure that would tend to the elevation of , the Church of England, and certainly not one to inflict any injury on the establishment. They did not wish to intro duce any Nonconformist preacher into the parish of a clergyman of the Church of England. Nothing of the sort was, he thought, [intended. All that was sought was to enlarge the sphere of preaching the gospel. Mr. SPOONER should vote for the second reading of the bill, in order t'iat certain amendments might be made to them in committee. Mr. G. HARDY said the hon. member for Derby (Mr. Bass) was mistaken when he said, he could not, without going a considerable distance attend divine service at all, and therefore he should vote for the bill. Why, the hon. gentleman, in accordance with the act called Lord Shaftes bury's act, could if he felt so disposed have any place in his own house, his drawing-room, if he choose, licensed for the purpose of divine worship, provided it was in consonance with the principles of the Church of England. He objected to the title, as it gave greater power to the archbishop than to the other bishops ; and he also objected to the principle of giving licenses to go and preach in the various parishes in the dioceses within their provinces. He looked upon the bill as one that threatened to upset the discipline of the Church of England for the mere sake of fancy. He had a very strong feeling with respect to the conduct of both clergymen in the late unfortunate and un seemly riots that prevailed for so long a period in the parish of St. George's-in-the-East, and if the present bill was sanctioned that unfortunate state of things would be come common in parishes which were now united and happy. The principal object of the bill was to flatter those who were more fond of preaching than in performing their paro • chial duties—of giving power without discipline, and if the measure passed the house would have to cary legislation much further. It would greatly injure the parochial sys tem that had conferred so much benefit, and degrade the members of the Church of England by treating them as a • mere sect. Mr. BUXTON denied that the object of the bill was to lower and degrade the Cl ureh of England. Mr. NE WDEGATE objected to the bill, as it was calcu lated to give force and substance to the excess on both sides of the Church. Those who were verging towards Rome would have their leanings confirmed, while there would be a fostering and an increase of the Calvanistic ten dencies of some of the members of the Church of England. The principle of the bill was pre cisely that which had done more than anything else to promote the growth of impurity in the Church of Rome. As a Protestant and a member of the Church of England he protested against the invasion that was now proposed, or to be made on the rights and privileges of the Protestant church. Ho thought the bill was fraught with the most dangerous principles, and he should accordingly vote against it. (Cries of " divide, divide.") Mr. AYRTON said that the object of the bill, of which he was the author, was simply to emancipate the laity of this country from the irresponsible despotism of some 14,000 of the parochial clergymen, who were now at liberty to do as they pleased, who would not be controlled, and who could, upon their own private judgment, do things which seriously affected the interests of the church of each parish. He altogether denied that the in tention of the bill was was to upset or break up the paro chial system. The bill did not allow in the slightest way interference with that system ; but Parliament having agreed that the present form of prayer was a good form, the bill only gave a permission to read those prayers and to deliver a sermon under certain regulations, and nothing more. It was owing to the laity being most grossly neglected .by the parochial clergy that such a bill as the present had been rendered necessary. Sir NV. HEATHCOTE considered the bill would create nothing but rivalry where it does not now exist. He should vote for the rejection of it. Mr. HOItSFALL said the bill, so far from overthrowing the parochial system, was one calculated to improve it. Luu.a.t. ALA ur Said he should have aroat Dloasura in adopting the suggestion of the right hon. baronet the Home Secretary. At the same time, he must say the arch bishops and bishops now had the power of recalling a license they might have issued. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority -46 The bill was consequently lost. The announcement was received with loud cheers by the Opposition. PRESENTMENT SESSIONS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. BUTT moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. LONGFIELD moved the previous question. He said there was no reason at all for legislation on the subject at the present moment. He thought a well-considered measure for the amendment of the grand jury system of Ireland, brought under the influence of the Government, was what was wanted. The present bill was one full of unworkable enactments, and therefore totally useless. The report of the Royal Commission, upon which the bill was founded, had laid dormant for the last 20 years, and that being the case there could be no harm in postponing the consideration of the subject at the present time. The petitions presented in favour of legislation on the subject had been very small, so much so, that in the session 1859-60 only one petition signed by two persons had been laid on the table of the house. Mr. DAWSON seconded the motion for postponement. lle said the subject was now in the hands of two hon. members, but he thought the proper way to deal with tho subject was to bring in a well-considered mea sure by the Government, rather than leave the question to be dealt with by private members. Mr. BUTT could not consent to withdraw the bill. He contended there was great necessity for the passing of the bill, and the evils he proposed to remove had too long existed. Col. DUNNE wished to know from the Secretary for Ireland whether he was of opinion th a t the present bill would cure the evil complained of. He was of opinion that it could not have that effect, and that it was quite unworkable. After a few observations frana Mr. M'M AIION, who supported the bill, Mr. CARDWELL said the bill would require great alte ration in committee, but as he had advised his hon. friend to bring forward the present bill, he should give his vote for the second reading, reserving to himself the right to make any alteration he felt disposed when the measure was in committee. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority against the bill The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned at five minutes to six o'clock.

This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood, declaring that the mortgagee was entitled to recover full payment of his mortgage debt out of the mortgage premises, notwithstanding the bankruptcy of the mortgagor. The bankrupt's assignee claimed a reference. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that the decree appealed from was right and plight to be affirmed. His lordship said that the Vice-Chancellor observed that the assignee might have got the benefit of it if he had been more alert, but whether he was active or passive the right of the mortgagee could not be eluded. All the authorities and decisions referred to supported this view of the case. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor, and dismissed the appeal with costs. APPEAL-JUDGMENT-IN RE WARD GORDON V. DUFF. This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, declaring that, according to the true construction of the will of the testatrix, the late Mrs. Lydia Ward, the legacies of £2,000 Three per Cent Long Annuities, stand ing in her name, in the books of the Governor of the Bank of England, bequeathed by her to each of the two chtlight crs —Mary and Alexandrina—of the late -.Sir James Gordon, were specific legacies. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that the legacies in question were specific legacies, and could not be converted into pecuniary legacies on the evidence preduced. The Lord Chancellor of the decision of the Master of the Rolls, ata dismissed the appeal, with costs of all parties out of the tittte. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) PUBLIC SALES AND THE VINE TRADE,-IMPORTANT CASE. SOBLECIIERO V• NORRIS AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover some alleged overcharges, plaintiff being a wine importer, and defendants wine brokers and wine auctioneers. Mr. Grey, for the plaintiff, stated that his client had had consigned to him 12 butts of wine. He obtained upon them from defendants a loan of £35, and subsequently they were sold by the defendants at a public sale. Plaintiff complained that he had been charged 12s. 6d. per butt, whereas the customary charge was but ss. He also complained of extra interest 7s. 6d., and sampling 12s. 6d. Mr. Soblechero was called and deposed to the statements made in the opening of the case. The customary charge 'was only ss. per butt. Defendants had charged 2s. 6d. per butt when the loan was made, and 10s. per butt upon the sale. This being plaintiff's case, Mr. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, for the defendants, said this was a case affecting the interests of the wine trade to a considerable extent. He would call one of the defendants, who would most satisfactorily explain the facts. Mr. Chaplin said he was one of the firm of Norris and Chaplin (defendants). The custom upon advancing a sum of money as a loan upon wine security was to charge ss. per butt, but the present wines being of a low class witness only charged 2s. 6d. That was the only profit made by Rte broker upon the loan. That 2s. 6d. was separate and distinct from any sale transaction, for the borrower might upon payment of the money withdraw bis wine, and take it to any other broker to sell. As to the 10s. per butt, that arose in this way. If the wine were sold by private eon- , tract the brokers' charge would be ss. to the vendor, and ss. t.) the purchaser, but at a public sale the purchaser paid nothing, and the whole 10s. was charged to the vendor. Mr. Smith (member of a very extensive wine firm) of Great Tower-street, fully corroborated Mr. Chaplin, and his lordship v as of opinion that defendants had answered the case very fully. Mr. Grey applied for an adjournment, but his lordship said it was too late. Mr. Sorrell applied for costs, which were granted. CURIOUS ACTION UPON A CHEQUE—PLATT V. NICHOLLS. This was an act ion upon a dishonoured cheque for £6155., signed by the defendant. Mr. Masterman, for the plaintiff, called his client, who proved receiving the cheque from defendant. Mr. Sorrell (for defendant)—Now, when you received the cheque did you not sign the piece of paper I produce ? Plaintiff—Yes. Mr. Sorrel—That is a receipt which states that you re ceived a cheque for Mr. Malam to be provided for by him. How much did Malam owe you ? Plaintiff-12 10s. Mr. Sorrell—And why do you sue him for £6lss. ? Plaintiff—By the advice of my attorney. Defendant owes me nothing. The cheque was returned marked "No effects." Mr. Mastermem thought it necessary to apply for an ad journment, so that Mr. Malam might be called, and Mr. Sorrell not objecting, the case stood adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(Thu Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A "PuorEssioNlL" CHARGED WITH PICKING POCKETS. —Thomas Moody, a most impudent fellow, and who, from his manner in the dock, appeared to be well acquainted with the practices of ihr , police court, was charged with attempting to pick the pocket of a young woman named Maria Maynard, living at 31, South-street, Manchester square. The prosecutrix—l was looking at a wedding prrty—a large number of persons being present at the times—when I felt the prisoner's hand in my pocket, and caught hold of it. The prisoner, however, ran awly, but was caught by a constable. Prisoner—Now, look me in the face, young woman. You are on your oath, and you are sworn to tell the truth. (After a pause.) Did the man who had his hand in your pocket take anything ? Prosecutrix—No, you did not. Prisoner—Wery well, young woman. That will do. I've done with you. M'Donnell, 62 C, said—The prisoner was given into my custody in South-street for attempting to pick the young woman's pocket. Prisoner—Now, I beg your pardon, Mr. censtable, but you are on your oath. Well, having given you that cau tion, I will ask, how was I standing when you came up ? Constable—You were being held by some persons. Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner)—You have been in many courts, I have no doubt, from your style. Prisoner—Vm a tailor by trade, your worship, but latterly I've been a professional—that is to say, I've been singing. I reside, sir—l beg your pardon—your worship, at a common lodging-house in Westminster. I did not wish to see the performance the young woman was looking at, and was hastening away when the young woman surprised me by saying I had robbed her. I feel anxious about the matter, and I am unprotected and stand by myself. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall send you for trial, but will remand you for a few days to see if you are known. Prisoner, in a very persuasive tone—l'd rather you would not, really. The prisoner was then rcuaandcd. The commercial letters from New York describe an unanimous feeling in the Northern States that the Fede ral authority must be supported with men and money. The Congress of the Seceding Confederate States was expected to declare war in the course of a week, and it was feared that their first move might be to seize all American ships to be found in their ports and waters. Hence shipowners were telegraphing for their vessels to leave at once, whether full or empty, Had these events occurred earlier in the season for cotton, shipments, the profits for British ships would have been very great. Such as were available would still command high terms. The rate of exchange had declined, some good bills having been sold at 107, but the leading bankers were asking 107 f to 108, and the im pression was:that there would be no permanent:fall.' It was assumed that when Congress shall meet at Washington, in entre session on the 4th of July, one of its first steps will be to alter the Morrill tariff. The East Indian Railway Company„ yesterday agreed to to empower their board to raise £.6,000, 0 °° by th B ook at e bentures at 5 per cent., to bo convertible into option of the holders. The expenditure of this amount, undermen tionedwill be spread over a considerable PellodheH e bar by the to enr . y Pottinger, CALLS TO THE BAR, Apr i i e, l Ev 3 z o . 7 Jas, Jeph gentlemen were this day ca ll ed lion.

TIIE HAVELOCK STATUE IN TRAFALGAR-SQUARE. —Yesterday the pedestal on which stands the statue lately erected to the memory of General Sir Henry Havelock, which has been for some days past covered for the purpose of receiving the inscription, was partially uncovered. The inscription, which is done in a bold black letter, and without any ornamentation, runs as follows :—" To Major- General Havelock, K.C.8., and his brave companions in arms during the campaign in India, 1857. ' Soldiers, your labours, your privations, your sufferings, and your valour will not be forgotten by a grateful country.'— H. Havelock. Erected by public subscription, 1861." At I resent there is nothing inscribed on the back of the ' pedestal. An agreement for an amalgamation between the the Groat Western and the West Midland Railways is stated to have been effected on a basis similar to that which guided the amalgamation some years ago of the North- Eastern lines, and which has yielded very satiseactory re sults. In consequence of this the price of Great Western shares went to-day from 711 to 73, and of West Mimed from 47 to 61.
