This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, declining to make any order for the winding up of these banks, but allowing the parties to apply to the Lords Justices of Appeal for a winding up order. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel, Lord Jus tice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner were of opinion that these district banks were not banking companies within the meaning of the Winding-up Acts, and dismissed the appeal with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day; MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A SCENE AT A CAPE.—Herbert Craven, 15, Sloane street ; Henry Howard, 8, St. John's-wood• road ; William Baines, 16, Sherborne• place ; and Fleetwood Chase, ,2, Melcombe-street, described as gentlemen, were charged with being drunk, creating a disturbance, and assaulting Mr. John Nicholls, keeper of the Cafe Reiche, 226, Picca dilly. Mr. Nicholls said the four defendants came into his house at eight the previous night and asked for soda water. The waiter served them, and Howard and Baines then commenced sparring. He told them to desist or they would do some damage. They then sat down and called for coffee, but he refused to let the waiter serve them. Baines then drew his chair up to the table where he was sitting with his wife and stared very rudely in her face, and on his telling him not to do so, as she objected, he replied " Oh if there is a woman in the case she is sure to have a finger in the pie." Baines then told him that he doubted whether it was his wife. Baines, while he was standing in the lobby to prevent them again coming in, caught hold of his coat and tore it, and dragged him into the road, and then seized him by the leg and tore his trousers. He afterwards gave the defendants, who were all drunk, into custody. Player, 309 A, and Wheatley, 308 A, having corroborated a portion of Mr. Nicholl's evidence, Sergeant Praper, on duty at Viae-street, said the defen dants created the greatest disturbance he ever heard while at the station. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked what the amount of damage was to Mr, Nicholl's clothes, and h© replied £4. (The coat and trousers were sadly torn.) . . Baines said he had taken a little to drink, but was no drunk, for he had been driving just before, and he could not; have done that if he was drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that depended sometimes on the width of the road and other things. The other defendants said they were not drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no doubt keepers of refresh ment houses had a right to order persons to leave their houses if they liked. Baines would have to pay £3 10s. for the damage and ss. for the assault, and they would all have to pay ss. for the disturbance at the station. CORN EXCHANGE. Owing to the prospect of hostilities with J imerica, the country markets, held on Saturday, were firm for wheat, at in some instances, an advance in the quotation sof ls. to 2s. per quarter. In the value of spring corn, very: little change took place ; but flour was held for rather more money. The French markets have continued steady whilst the outflow of breadstuffs for America are still very large. Very small supplies of English produce:we re received up to our market last week. The imports from i 'broad were 41,374 quarters of wheat, 4,350 barley, 6,155 oat s, 89 beans, 4,797 peas, 923 tares, 19,304 linseed, 3,005 rape seed, 1,563 maize, 170 sundry seeds, 152 sacks and 28,60 E t barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to this morning's market were very limited, and several samples cal ne to hand in rather damp condition. Not the slightest e xcitement was observed ; indeed, the trade, both for red and white qualities, was decidedly inactive, yet there were ; no sellers on easier terms. Prices, consequently, exhibit 1 to ohange compared with this day se'nnight. The whole of the sup ply had not been disposed of at the close of busing ss. There was a fair show of foreign wheat on tb e stands. Importers were very firm, and all descriptions wet - e held at fully last Monday's currency. In several instanc es some what enhanced rates were demanded for Amerio to quali ties. Floating cargoes were moderately, though by i Lo means actively, inquired for, and the quotations were 1 'ell sup ported. The supply of barley was much less extensii la. The finest descriptions fully maintained previous ra tes, but medium and inferior qualities were a slow sale, of t former terms. Malt changed hands slowly at previous quotatiot Is; With oats we were very moderately supplied, and the trade ruled firm at full currencies. The supply of beans was somewhat on the filen:tit se. All kinds were in slow request, yet no change took place in their value, eompar,,d with last week. Although the show of peas was Brasil, the demi Ind for them ruled inactive at late rates. The flour trade was firm, and prices were well sup ported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET Our market to-day was but moderately supplies 3 with foreign stock; nevertheless, the demand for it rule d very inactive at barely last week's currency. The supply of home-fed beasts was limited as to num ber, but in greatly improved condition, especially tb e arri vals from Scotland. Although, owing to the prevailing mild weather, the demand for all breeds was in a sluggish state, prices were well supported, and, in some few in stances, last Monday's currencies were slightly exceeded. A few ♦ery inferior Scots sold at 5s per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampt onshire we received 2,200 short horns', &c. ; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 300 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 500 oxen and heifeics. The show of sheep was limited even for the time of year. For all breeds the demand ruled steady, but by no means inactive, at fully last week's currency. Very ;superior Downs were worth 5s Bd, but the general top figure for mutton was 5s 6d per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was small—in oved off steadily at very full prices. The highest quotation was 5s Gd per 81bs. Prime small porkers changed herds freely on. fornier terms; but large hogs were very dull. The great Christmas market will be held here on. Monday next.

SINGULAR CASE OP ROBBERY:—Mr. Lewis, sem, the solicitor, of Ely-place, applied to Mr. Woolrych, while the night charges were being heard, and said that a boy named Maurice Friederberg was under remand until that day on a charge of stealing half a sovereign, and that his parents and friends, who worehighly respectable, would take charge of him if liberated. It was not the intention of the prose cutor to press the charge, and he was satisfied with the week's imprisonment he had already endured. The magistrate kindly complied with the request of Mr. Lewis, sen., and the boy, who is fourteen and a half years of age, and who gave the name of Maurice Benjamin when he was arraigned last Monday, was then brought before Mr. Woolrych, and, on the assurance of the solicitor that his parents would receive him and take care of him, he was ordered to be discharged. The evidence on which the prisoner was remanded was some what extraordinary. On the afternoon of Sunday, the Ist instant, the boy entered the service of Benjamin Lavey, clothes salesman and outfitter, of No. 4, Penson-place, West India-road, Limehouse. Both master and boy are of the Jewish persuasion, which accounts for the engagement being entered into on the Christian Sabbath. About two hours afterwards, and while the bell of Limehouse parish Church was calling the people to prayer, an homeward bound sailor entered the shop, purchased a suit of clothes, and borrowed a half-sovereign of Lavey, to be repaid when he received his wages. The sailor forthwith exchanged his old ones for the "rig out," and when he had finished the adornment of his person he looked for the half sovereign he had received of Laney, and which he had de posited in the pocket of his old waistcoat before he pulled t off and laid it on the counter. The half-sovereign was missing, and Friederberg, alias Benjamin, was accused of stealing it. He denied the theft, but was searched, and after some delay he admitted having taken it and put it in his boot. He pulled off his boot, took the half-sovereign from it, and delivered it to his master. The boy was given into custody forthwith, and after two hours' service on a Sun day afternoon, was locked up, and on being brought before Mr. Woolrych on Monday last was remanded for a week. He is a native of Germany, and his parents reside at 20, Union-street, Spitalfields. TILLS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Dec.

THE MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.—The case of William Wilson, of the British barque Express, who is charged with the wilful murder of "William Henderson, and the manslaughter of Charles Jones, on the high seas, during voyages between Liverpool and the West Coast of Africa, will be tried during the present Liverpool assizes. Mr. Baron Channell will not take the case before Thursday, to suit the arrangements of the learned counsel engaged. THE POACHING AFFRAY NEAR EAST RETFORD. —The men who were reported in The Sun of Monday last as being concerned in a violent attack on a gamekeeper at Bothamshall were brought up at the Town 'hall, East Ret ford, on Friday afternoon last, and committed for trial at the next assizes for Nottinghamshire. The Bench offered to take bail, each in. £lOO and two sureties of £lOO. In de fault, the prisoners on Saturday morning were removed in custody to Nottingham Castle, where they will remain until March, their being no winter gaol delivery. It appears that the earliest date at which the news of the reception of the British demand by the Wash ington Cabinet can reach us will be Saturday, the 28th of December. The Cunard steamer which left Queenstown with the despatch to Lord Lyons on Monday last, the 2d inst., will arrive at Boston about the 14th. The Africa will leave New York on the 18th, and will be due here about the 30th, bUt a telegram of her news might possibly ) reach London from Queenstown a day or two earlier. ,LITERATURE. the United Service Magazine. In the introductory chapter, which is on " The Royal Military Academy," we find a short account of its foundation in 1741 and its subsequent history up to the present time. The discipline is generally considered of the various military colleges through out the country, and likewise the probable cause of the recent disturbances at Woolwich, and it is maintained that rebellion against authority is a chronic disorder that has long pervaded the German and other Continental universities, but there it is ( generally of a political character; that there is no fear of danger to the State in any outbreak amongst English students, but that, although natu rally predisposed to order, it is requisite that those in authority over them should be firm and moderate, but, above all, just. Theseus, in a paper on "Training-ships for Boys," congratulates the coun try on the fact that the Admiralty are extending the practice of training boys for seamen, as the only true way to effectually man the navy; and he very fusty complains that the navigation laws have greatly reduced the number of the seamen in the mercantile navy. A treatise on " Warming and Ventilation of Barrack, Hospitals, &c.," is written with a view to show how much the sanitary condi tion of troops and other large bodies of men collected together depends on proper ventilation and warmth, and contains many medical statistics on the subject. There is a long chapter on " Admiralty Instructions —Old and New," in which the following seems to imply that the Admiralty, in endeavouring to im prove the regulations of last century, in which the instructions were somewhat primitive, have over done the thing completely : It is a great mistake to suppose that our ancestors were bad men of business because they were not so diffuse in their language as our administrators in the present day. Some of the old Acts of Parliament, usually considered loosely enough put together to admit of the free passage of a coach and six, nevertheless form the ground-work of the most important principles of common law. It has become the fashion now in the navy to lay down laws so stringent, and so much in detail, as to take away from officers every • thing in the shape of discretionary power. They in fact bind them hand and foot. The Admiralty legislators ap pear to think that all good sense must be centred in and emanate from Whitehall, and that no admiral, captain, or other officer can be trusted to exercise his reasoning facul ties in matters of administration. There is much truth 'in this. The old regula tions were simple and to the point, although they no doubt gave too much power to the com manding officers ; but it is not the conduct of naval officers that we condemn for the bad treatment of our seamen during the French War, but the culp able neglect of certain officials of the Board of Admiralty, and the ignorance, inefficacy, and dis honesty of those who had charge of the hospitals, stores, provisions, &c. The effect of the present stringent regulations, carried, no doubt, to the ex treme by our late pro-Ra.siau Administration, added to the wilful neglect of the Admiralty, pre vented the late gallant Admiral Napier from doing any material service in the Baltic. Under the head of " Ships, Docks, and Harbours," these all impor tant matters are duly considered, and the writer shows that our dockyard accommodation has by no means kept pace with the increasing size of our ships, and that but for our mercantile ports we should be badly off; efforts are, however, being made to rectify this. What has been the increase in size, and cost of our ships the following will show : Before the conversion period, when ships were propelled by wind, which costs nothing, instead of by mighty en gines, which are very expensive, and which require to bo accompanied by coals, that are also expensive, the money spent was about half what it has been since the system of reconstruction commenced. Thus, in the three years 1849, 1850, and 1851, the dockyards consumed rather more than six millions. During the last three years they have taken 13 millions. A first-rate which, then required 4,150 loads of timber in its construction, now takes 6,068 loads; and a ship which formerly cost £70,000 could not now be built for that sum. The convenient old rule of calculating the value of a man-of- war, when ready for sea, at £l,OOO a gun, must be considered as obsolete, as the following table, the cost of some of the crack ships of the old and new school, will show : OLD SCHOOL. Guns. Tons. Cost when Per Ton. Per Gun. launched.

"Ravenshoe" is continued. Charles pays a second visit to Lord Welter at St. John's Wood, and discovers to h:s 1 dismay that Ellen has gone nobody knows whither. She left a kind but reproachful letter to Lord Welter, in which she tells him that after the Lieute nant's 4ornby's proposal of marriage to her she dare not remain, for fear of bringing ruin and disgrace on the man she loves. Charles could do nothing ; and if he went to bed the previous night with a heavy heart, it was no lighter on the present one. The following sketch of a restless sleepless night will be more or less felt to be too true by most of our readers, who have much passed the bounds of childhood have in some degree perceived it. What a happy place a man's bed is —probably the best few people will in which he ever find s hi mse lf . Very will like to deny that, I think ; th a t i s t o say as a general rule. Alter a long day's shooting in cold weather, for in stance; or half a night on deck among the ice, when the fog has lifted, and the ghastly cold walls are safe in sight ; or after a 50 mile ride in a bush, under a pouring rain ; or after a pleasant ball, when you have to pull down the blind, that the impudent sun may not roast y ou awake in two hours ; for in all these cases, and a hundred m ore , b ed is very pleasant ; but you know as well as I do, th a t t h ere theare times wildest bush you n twouldhe worst a b t h e e o r n , e a r w frozen sl tm iin the deck,. hall of Eblis with Vathek's mamma, or almost in your very grave, than in bed, and awake. h w ed h y en te th r e es s t ou a l h , d w r h a i m eh hle in o s ff lee itt p wouldo h , the les v w e e t ahrey tortured watches s I one's dreams, holds on by a mere thread, yet a thread stron g waking enough o: dreamsto keep every e f the p nerve as t arein a tense v i d agony as hos t ll e Vh o e f n sleep, and there is always present, through all, the dreadful lurk ing thought that one is awake, and that it is all real I When, looking b ac k, every ki ndly i mpuls i ve act i on, every heartily spoken word, makes you fancy that you have only earned contempt where you merit kindness I Where the past looks like a hell of missed opportunities, and the future like another black hopeless hell of uncertainty and immi nent misfortune of all kinds I Oh, weary watches ! Let us be at such times on the bleakest hill-side, in the coldest night that ever blew, rather than in the warmest bed that money will buy. _ When you are going to have a night of this kind, you seldom know it before hand for certain. Sometimes, if you have had much experience in the sort thing —if you have lost money or gone in debt, or if your sweetheart has cut you very often—you may at last guess, before you get your boots off, that you are goinc , to have a ni g ht o f i t ; i n which case, read your se lf to sleep in bed. Never mind burning the house down (that would be rather desirable as a distraction from thought) ; but don't read till you are sleepy with your clothes on, and then undress, because, if you do, you will find, by the time you have undressed yourself, that you are terribly wide awake, and, when the candle is blown out, you will be all ready for a regular Walpurgis night. Leaving our hero, we pass on to Ravenshoe. To Father Mackworth's surprise, Cuthbert, since he stooped to offer a bribe to him, has maintained a reserve quite unusual to the priest, and William will, put up with no dictation, and shows fight. William again starts in search of Charles. Back again, to London, and listens to a conversation between the two swindlers. Lord Welter and Adelaide; they ride in the Park, having matured their plan. They have no groom, and are got up in first-rate style, but they pass under the eye of one who could not be deceived. That shrewd old cynic, Lord Saltier, was looking out of a window at Lord Ascot's, and, as they passed, turned to Marsden and said em phatically, ;' Now I do really wonder what infernal mischief those two are after. There is an air of pastoral simplicity about the whole get-up which forbodes some very great —very great—obliquity of moral purpose." In the park, Adelaide meets Charles Ravenshoe, and a few quick words pass between them. What will be the result time must show. There is another long instalment of that admirable soporific, " The Victories of Love." " Paris Revisited," by one who knows it well (second article), is very cleverly written. The des spotic rule of the Imperial Government of France is forcibly depicted. The Assocations Ouvrires which during the short-lived Republic of 1848 flourished, and when each trade had its own meet ing rooms for lectures and instruction, are things of the past, even social gatherings are restricted. We are informed that " it must not be forgotten that 25 persons cannot so much as legally dine together in France without official permission, and that the commissary of police has the right to be present whenever such a portentous event takes place. The writer considers that, at no distant day, if France do not actually become Protestant, the religion of the country will be materially altered. He thus concludes his sketch of the state of affairs and the popular feeling : I have endeavoured to show some' of the grounds of hope which a recent survey has seemed to show me in Paris. I must remind the reader that, to discover them, he must dig somewhat deep below the surface. The surface itself is disheartening enough. A city, of which one-half is given up to gaiety and extravagance, whilst the other half pines for work ; an artificial stimulus given to public works, to keep up the show of prosperity, and occupy the dangerous classes ; an abiding, an-pervading mutual dis trust between the ruler and his people; an increase of sensual indulgence in all classes, of frivolity or worse, among the young; and ever-increasing appetite for specu lation, while speculation itself is becoming more and more identified with dishonesty; an enormous military force, a police force scarcely less enormous ; the political press colourless and neglected ; a complete absence of everything like public spirit ; religious ministrations frequented and despised, the church prominent and hated ; such is the picture which the great continental capital presented to me. A bitter sight indeed for all who feel the weight of the pre sent evil; bitter above all, no doubt, to those who cannot reach to the conviction which lies deep in the hearts of all, though they may not venture, or care, or choose to express it, that, sooner or later, he Third French Empire will pass away like an evil dream. Where lies the chief danger to it? It lies, I believe, — and the belid was confidently expressed to me by several informants,—in that very army, which is the mainstay of imperial power. The Third Napoleon dare not engage in long, still less in continual wars, lest the armyshould become too powerful; ho dare not remain too long at peace, lest it should become too liberal; 'he dare not reduce it over much, lest he should be too weak ; he dare not increase it overmuch, for he knows very well that the more numerous it is, the more it must become identified with the people. It is already so identified, far more than is really imagined. I had an °ppm tunity of listening to the familiar conversation of two gendarmes, old soldiers (though young in age), and it certainly was the freest I heard in France among strangers to myself. I learnt from it what abuses of power can be perpetrated in the military organisation of France ; how civil despotism and the suppression of public opinion react on the army itself; how much of manly dignity yet remains in the soldier • how he may submit to p resen t in justice and look forward to future justice: how cheap, finally, the soldier-policeman may hold the regulations of which ho is the minister. The talk of those two gendarmes would alone have sufficed to how me how much of moral weak ness lies behind the military strength of the imperial despotism. Under the head of " Games at Cards for the Coming Winter" the rules for certain games are given, " Autobiography of a Navy" is the history of a tramp ; there is not much point in it and no plot, its only recommendation is its moral tendency. Some light and agreeable lines on Life's Question, by Henry Alford; a Letter to tilts Editor on Dr. Lushington, Mr. Head, and the Thirty-Win o Articles ; Anonymous Journalism, by 142 mas Hughes ; and the Passaglia Phase of tif Question, by Edward Dicey, complete the number.

The wages of the crew of every line -ot-battle ship are £9,600 a year more than they were. Bedding, mess traps, and some articles of clothing which were formerly paid for by the men, are now supplied gratuitously; and the provisions are of better quality, and larger in quantity,—making together, for these items, about £4,000 a year difference in each first-rate. The engines, on which th e expen di ture i n 1 8 51 did not amount to £lOO,OOO, now figure in the estimates for £600,000: and lastly, we now pay something like £300,000 for coals, against £92,000 in 1851. Nor is this to be won dered at when we are told that up io February last, the St. Jean A'Acre had consumed 8,421 tons, and the Himalaya had used 34,110 tons. In " Discipline in the Army," it is maintained, with what truth we will not say, that the cause of the late frequent murders in the army is, to a great extent, owing to the abolition of flogging ; be that as it may, we quite agree with the writer when he condemns the practice of sending soldiers, for solely military offences, to county gaols, to associate with felons, and to bring back to their comrades all the vice which they have acquired among their late companions_ We have a long review of the "Life and Correspondence of Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8." "Recent Explorations in Buster and Kharonde" gives an interesting account of that unknown locality. A paper on the " Mexican Ex pedition" furnishes curious details of that dis tressed country. That the national debt is not heavy is to be attributed, not to the frugality of the Government, but to the feet that nobody will trust such a bankrupt country. In the " Editor's Portfolio" a handsome and deservel tribute is paid to Sir Howard Douglas. That gallant, we might almost say amphibious, officer—for Sir Howard was as much at home on one element as the other—has passed from us, as almost the last relic of the iron age which produced the Iron Duke. General military and naval intelligence, &c., is of course to be found. Bailis Sporting Magazine. The frontispiece this month is a portrait of Count Frederick La Grange, followed by the usual bio graphy. "The Gentleman in Black" contributes an article on " Woolwich and its Recreations." The Military Academy is chiefly treated of, and our author maintains that a want of proper hours of relaxation is about the very worst thing for which a large pablic institution can be censured. We have ourselves remarked somewhat severely on this subject; for it seems absurd to treat young men like schoolboys, and the remarks of the " Gen tleman in Black" are so in accordance with our own views that, for the benefit of our readers, we quote the following : " We are the last in the world to depreciate sound know ledge, and especially that which pertains to the professional duties of an artillery officer, but we think they would be none the worse for an hour or two's relaxation, and an op portunity of digesting the fool with which they are crammed. " Breakfast and inspection till 8.40 ' in study 9 till 11.30 ; clean and prepare f or i ns p ec ti on a t 11.45 ; drill till 12.45; dinner at 1 p.m.: in study from 2 till 4 ; parade 4.15; drill till 4,45; in study from 5 till 7 ; tea 7.15 ; lei sure until 10in an enclosure 200 yards by 50. At 10 o'clock cadets answer to their names, the lights are exting u i s h e d, and they are left to go to bed in the dark.' " Here's a pretty state of things connected with the training of British youth. In twelve good hours there ap pears to be about two hours allowed for recreation, includ ing dinner and tea. Do the authorities ever try this sort of work themselves ? Are they aware that, under ordinary circumstances, about four or five hours' study unremit tingly per diem would compass the highest honours of either university ? That the head requires time for diges tion quite as much as the stomach ? Or are our artillery officers henceforth to be employed on service of so impor tant a nature that, so long as they are conversant with the laws of motion' and the 'science of projectiles,' they re quire neither health, judgment, nor energy to direct them ? That their duties are more onerous, and their acquirements are to be more varied and extensive, we are well aware ; but on that very account a capacity for greater exertion, and more active exercise of their faculties, should be in sisted on." " Charles Thornhill; or, the Dunce of the Family," is a new tale, and promises fair to i prove interest ing. School-life at Eton of course s well described, and the character of the hero, who mate r i a ll y plays a prominent part, is well defi ne d . " Pro Bono Publico," by Scrutator, maintains the superiority of hunting above all oth er fi e ld sports, and shows that while a man can not i ntru d e his company on a coursing party, or offer to knock over a few birds in a preserve for the owner, all are welcome to follow the hounds. Among other amusing anec dotes which the author relates is that of a butcher boy winning the brush, and on being asked by the master of the hounds, who had admired his bold riding, which he would prefer the, brush or half-a-crown, the boy answered eagerly, " Oh, the brush, sir; it may be a long time before I get another." This same boy has since become one of the first huntsmen in the country. " Our Van," and the general news of the month are to be found as usual. Macmillan's _Magazine.
