IN RE THE ROW, RANK OP AUSTRALIA AND THE WIND ING-UP ACTS ; 154 S AND 1849.-EXPA.RTE WALKER AND OTHERS. This was a motion on behalf of certain contribi4ors in the above cempanY to discharge or vary a certificate or memorandum of the master, allowing certain claims of the North British Insurance Company, the Perth,Bank ing Company, and others as debts against the company, or to.refer it back to the master, to review his decision, and to receive further' evidence on such claims. The North British Insurance Company, the Perth Banking. Company, and several other parties claimed to be credi tors of the Royal Bank of A ustralia as holders of cer tain "promissory notes, which ,were signed •by three of the directors of the last-named company. On a special case being submitted ,to the Court of Queen's Bench for' the purpose of deiermining whether the holders of cer tain promissory notes, similar in form to those held by , the North Britishlnsurance Company, the Perth Bank ing CoMpany, and the other present claimants, were creditors of the Royal Bank of Australia, in respect of such notes, that Court decided that they were, and the Master had,follo wed that decision. The present motion was by way of appeal from the Master's decision. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Cairns, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Selwyn,. Mr. Roxburgh, and' Mr. Bevor appeared for the different parties. His Honour this morning, without hearing counsel for, the defendant, gave judgment. He said that the case , had been very fully discussed during the last three days, but he not feel himself impressed sufficiently to en able him to say that the Master had done wrong in al lowing these debts against the company. In his opinion the Court of Queen's Bench had, in fact, decided the moat important question, and the Masterseems to have been, guided by the authority of that decision. The firsfnli jection to the Master's .finding was, that even if the directors had power to bind the company, these notes were'not in fact so framed as to bind the company, but only to create a contract on the part of those persons by whom they were signed. It had been said that the coin 'pan), was not named so as to render it liable for the pay- I ment of the notes. The notes commenced, " We, the directors," &c., &o. It seemed to him to include the company, for on the. construction of these words it was plain they were made on, behalf of the'company— that is, on behalf of these whose signatures they bore, and also on behalf of the other members of the com pany. At law, one partner could not render his co partner separately liable for the partnership debts, and the Court of Queen's Bench bald that the notes were those of the compau, and not .of the indivithials only. But the most important qiitestion was as to the authority of the directors to bind the company as a body by those notes, the powers given by the 916 ii clause of the deed of settlement are certainly large enough to authorise the directors to take up money on such instruments, but it was contended they could not do go until the whole of the capital-had been paid - up. That part of the case had been so SitisfaCtorilY dealt with by the - judgment of the Court of queen's • Bench, that it was 'not necessary for hire to enter into the question. The attempt-to defeat the claim on the ground of misstatement and Conceal ment of ivhat was being done from the shareholders, in ' his opinion, entirely failed. - The most important fact was that 250,000/. had been remitted to the colony, and that 334,79.4/. was due by the company- on deposit and other bills,, was stated in the report of Jtily, 1845, re peated. - In the report of 1845, and again in 1847, were facts quite sufficient to show that the shareholders were aoquainted With the facts that sums to a very large amount had been borrowed: on the security of these notes. On the whole case. his opinion was that the claims or the North British Assurance Company had been properly allowed as debts by the Master against the company, He should allow the costs of all parties to come out of the estate. • • • "BAIL COVRT.

This was an action brought by th plaintiff, whb is the well-known map-seller and proprietor of the Great Globe in Leicester-square, against the - defendant, for a breach of: ontract. , • It appeared that the defendant had recently returned from Australia, and (according to the plaintiff's case) called on the plaintiff in 1853, and stated to him that. having recently returned from Australia, wheie he had resided for 15 years, he had made a fine collection of geological specimens, and a considerable collection of specimens of gold, in nuggets, &c.,. and he stated that be was anxious to enter into an arre,ngenient with some person to exhibit them. Several interviews took place between them, and eventually an arrangement was en tered into between them that the plaintiff should exhibit them for one year at the Great Globe, and that the de fendant should receive 1501. for the. use of them. A memorandum of agreement was drawn up, and it was to the effect that the defendant should deposit the specimens by a certain day and arrange them ; and ha was also-to arrange the geological specimena in addition to the speci mens of gold ancl'nuggets. 'There were to between 200 and 300 models of large nuggets, which the defendant said were too valuable to keep together. A number of specimens were sent, and they were to be arrang ed by a certain day, on which Mr. Wyld cause d cases to be made for them at considerable expense, and be had a number of labels made for the specimens,- and then had 2,000 tickets printed, requesting the attendance of many of the nobility, gentry, and scientific persons, to a private view of the- exhibition. A number of persons came to this private view, but a very small quantity of the specimens promised to be - sent were sent, nor were those whioh were sent arranged by the defendant. Some of the nug gets were described as "gold found in pipeclay," "gold found ih the debris of the river Tortn," &c., and one was described as from a rock, which was valued at 25,000/. The specimens were exhibited for some time, and the plaintiff continued to press the defendant to s en d the rest of the specimens and arrange the minerals, 'Which he pro mised to do ; but at last a gentleman who saw the nug gets told Mr. Wyld that he doubted that they were gold, on which an examination was made of them, and it was discovered' that there was not a single gold nugget amongst them, but that they were all models made in lead and gilded. - The defendant had repeatedly repre sented them as geld, and said that some of theM were of his own collecting, while on others were placed labels showing them to be models. Mr. Wyld had been at the expense (at the-defendant's suggestion) of having iron bars put up to protect thiS supposed gold-nuggets,- and a policeman was kept there, armed with a revolver, to shoot all the robbers who might come attracted by the shining treasures there displayed. .Mr. Wyld proved the above facts, and was strictly cross-examined by Ser geant Byles, but his evidence was not shaken. In the course of the cross-examination, he was asked whether he had not suggested to thedefendant that there should be a robbery at the Great Globe, as " the shillings would then come in by hundreds to view the place." Mr Wyld most indignantly denied that there was the slight. est truth in the suggestion, and added that no one but oue who had been the associate of-convicts for fifteen I years would have ventured to suggesi such a question to I the learned sergeant. M. Justice Coleridge said that the witness should content himself with a simple denial of the question. Mr. Wyld said the question Was a most offensive one to hint as a gentleman, and ought not to have beeh put. The foreman of the jury said that the jury thought it a most improper question, and in their opinion ought not to have been put ; it waft also wholly irrelevant. The question the jury had to decide was, as he under stood it, whether the defendant had deceived the plain tiff, and broketehis contract with him, or whether the plaintiff had combined' with. the defendant to deceive the public. Mr. Sergeant Bylestsaid that he was instructed to ask the question, and must do his duty. .The Juror—Yes but draw it a little mild—a little mild. (Much laughter.) At the close of the plaintiff's case the CQurt rose, SUSPACTED MURDICR OP A HUSBAND BY BIS WIFE. On Saturday, tebecca Tipton, aged 32, was brought before Mr. Ingham, at the 'Thames Police -court, charged with the wilful murder of her husband, Thomas Turban, by strangling lum. The- deceased was a- boiler-maker, and about 40 years of age. The prisoner is a stout masculine woman, by no-means prepossessing in appear. ance. She was very calm and collected throughout a long examination, and her questions and observations were delivered in a low tone of voice, at times almost inaudible. The first witness called was George Pullen, a pollee constable, 161 IC, who said--This morning, about two o'clock I saw the prisoner standing - at the corner. of Richard-street, St. Leonard's.road, Poplar, and I asked her what was the matter. , She made no reply until I repeated the "question, when she said, " My husband is dead." I immediately proceeded with her to the house, No. 1, Richard-street,` and saw the landlord standing at the door. He' told me I had better go up 'stairs and; see what - was the matter.. I proceeded up stairs in company , with ,the prisonei• and a policeman 'named Frost, and asked the prisoner where her husband was. She said he was in the front • room, and upOn going there, I , saw - the deceased lying stretched upon the floor, upon his , back, and quite dead: There was a pillow under his head. then looked at him, and felt his hinds and face, and' found they were quite cold. I snikoted his death was caused by violence, and detained the prisoner. All the time I was in the house, she kept on saying,'"l_ did not do it." I observed marks on the deceased's neck; He had •no • stock or neckerchief on, and . hisueCk was bare. - I commence d a search in the room,• and asked_the prisoner where her husband's neckcloth was.., She said, "Y don't know." J made a further seareh,.and_discovei•ed a black silk neckerchief belOnging to the deceased, behind the door. It was alongside a shawl tha.t was hanging up. The witness produced the neckerchief, and it was much twisted at the ends: • • Mr. Ronald Robertson, surgeon, of Poplar, said that he believed the man to have died from asphyxia, caused by strangulation: Mr. W. 0, Walker, the landlord of the house, No. 1, Richard-street, said—About 20 minutes after nine o'clock last nightithe deceased eame home and knocked at the door. I opened it and let him in ; as he passed by me, he said, " I ant obliged* you," and went up stairs, and asked me whit tiine it -was. I told. him ,it was 20 minutes past nine, He - went up stairs and came down again two minutes afterwards, with a white jug in his hand, and ' went out for scone beer. He returned in about five minutes, and again went into his own room: 'The prisoner came home about- half-an-hour afterwards. I went out inte - the garden, and saw her doing something to the bed in the baekroorn. About one o'clock this morn ing, while I was in bed, the prisonerasked me for the street door key. -I told her it was at the edge of my bed room door, and she took the key and went out. She returned in about half an hour and said her husband was dead. I got out of bed and-opened my room door, and saw a young girl in the passage with the prisoner. I told Mrs. Tutton she had better go rip stairs and not disturb me ,sAhahad done the night before. She went up stairs and made a kind of howling noise. I put my clothes on and went to the foot of the stairs, and asked the prisoner if herlinsbancl really was dead. The girl answered, "Yes." told Mrs. Turton she hid better go out;and call in a policeman and a medical man. She went out. I put my coat on, with the intention of going out in search of a - policeman when two constables entered with Mrs.' Turton. One of them was the same constable I had called in the night before. Mr. Ingham—For what purpose did you call in the policeman on Thursday night ? Mr. Walker—Because the piisdner came down stairs and said her husband had taken arsenic. She wanted me to go up stairs and see her husband, but I would not go. Ann Randall, searcher at the Arbonr-street station, Stepney, adjoining .the court, •said-she was in the cell with the prisoner that morning, and on her entering it, Mrs. Turton said; "The police-constable has got all my money ; is there time for me to make prayer ?" and knelt down for seine time. When she got up again, witness asked her if her husband was a good husband! To which she replied; "Yes, when sober ; lie was given to drink a little." Witness said it was a ;very bad job ; and the prisoner said, ".Yes, it is ; but it is no use crying now. There is no knowing what the devil may prompt a person to do when in a passion." Inspector Holmes said the policeman, 161 K, who was the first witness called, had some other important evidence to give. Pullen was recalled, and said ;—On Thursday morning, at half-past one o'clock, I was called in by Mr. Walker, the landlord of the house in Richard- Street. The prisoner came down to the door, and said her husband had taken arsenic., I proceeded up stai rs with the prisoner, and went into the bed-room, where I fqund her hUsband lying on the top of the bed with his clothes on, fast aslee6. I aroused him; and asked him what was the matter. He replied, " There is nothing ,the matter with me, officer ; I think my wife is going mad.". I.: told him his - wife had said he had taken ar senic. The deceased said, "I have not taken an ythi ng , and I :4On't know what to do with her." I then ad vised the prisoner to keep herself quiet and go to bed. Shortly after that shecpened the front-rooM window and asked if I was the devil. I made her no answer, and she called out, " The cats are scratching the graves all open." I advised her to go in, and shut the window and be quiet. I saw no more of her till this morning. InspectOr Holmes, who had charge of the case, said that was all the evidence he-had to o:fer at present, and that the coroner's inquest would be held on the body of the deceased on Sicinday. : Mr. Ingham remanded the prisoner on the charge of "wilful murder" until .Frii.lay next; and she was iname deately afterwards sent away in 'the van to the House of Detention. THE • PR:EST OX S•TRIKE. PRESTON, SATURDAY EVENING.—Though the opera tives who are in the habit of attending the frequent open-air meetings still profess their firm adherence to the cause, there seems. every reason to believe that this unparalleled contest is at length drawing to a close. Whilst the contributions in aid of the unemployed are gradually diminishing, the number of those seeking work is on the increase ; indeed, it is stated that there have been more applications from card:room hands than could be accepted. With regard to the alleged extensive re sumption of work during the week, the following expla nation is offered on the part of the operatives Many persons have been admitted to a participation in the union funds who bad not seen the inside of a cotton-mill for ycare, and eome, perhaps, who had never been • em ployed in thocOtton trade. This has elicited complaints from the veritable factory operatives, , and the com mittees have been induced to institute a careful re vision of their lists, and Strike' all such persons off. About 700 recipients of relief . have been thus disposed of, about eighty of whom had been paid by the weavers, and a large proportion of the rest from the card-room hands. When these persons were dismissed, many of them applied for workat the mills ; and this fact is urged as the chief warrant for the assertion that the operatives are resuming work in large uninbers. On the other hand, we are informed that the limn* of turn-outs return ing to work, and the voluntary immigration from other districts of hands; both skilled and unskilled, anxious' for employment in mills, continues to increase daily, so that it is almost unnecessary for the employers to con tinue their arrangements for immigration. It is also stated that the whole numbee of persons employ e d by the associated masters in the town and neighbourhood previous to the wages dispute was between 15,000 and 16,000 ; that they have now at work about 7,000 ; and that, • therefore, they only require between 8,000 and 9,000 to make up their complement. If this be correct, then, are there many more hands on strike than can have employment iii*Prestoh, the total number now on the books of the several committees being, according to the returns, 13,073? The cessation from work has been taken advantage of by many millownets to convert their hand-mules into self-actingaiechines. Strikes have been the main cause of the introdu&tion of this labour-saving machine. The strike of 1828 eilused the attention of our ingenious machinists to be directed to the subject, and the result was the invention of the self-actor ; the strike of 1836 caused its introduction to a large extent in Preston ; the strike of 1353 has occasioned its general adoption ; and hand-Mules a r e now only used in works where very high numbers are spun. tt is ruinuured that the Preston masters unconnected with the association, who !Aye continued to pay the 10 per, cent. advance, are now contemplating a reduction in wages. In addition to this, itappeare that a decided move ment is now being made by a number of the Bla c kb urn employers to induce the entire trade to give notice of a a reduction. A memorial to that effect, agreed upon at a meeting of the spinners' and manufacturers'association, is now understood to be in course of signature. The' weavers of Blackburn held a meeting on Thursday night, when the following strange.story was told by a party of operatives who had. been -sent as a deputation to Preston. The deputation stated' that'they had been to Preston to inquire - into - certain rumours relatiVe to 'the eitistence of dissatisfaction amongst some of the unemployed. From the best-observations they could make, it appeared that the total numbeiqof hands at Work in the various mills of the associated masters was 1,069 —938 of whom were skilled Prestohiais, and the remaining 1.31 atraniteee. According to the returns of the employers, the number at work, as already mentioned, is near upon 7,000. Turning now ter the balance-sheets, I find that this week the s pi nners are i n a s i m ilar po s iti on to the weavers with regard to funds, the former requiring 1751. more than their subicriptions, and the- latter having had to borrow 500/. The spinners' committee characterise the present position of the movement as . " a crisis awful and important, if not most dangerous to the best interests of this country." The hands have again a deficit of Gl. 10s. 9d. ' which, added to previous debts, makes a tot a l o f 471. 6s, 4d. due to the treasurer. The amalgamated committee owe the treasurer 131. 2s. 4i.1. Each of the other committees has a small balance in hand. Most of the power-loom overlookers are ex pected to be at work - in the course of a few days ; the cloth-lookers are also about resuming employment. • The mills of Messrs. Paul, Cottrell, and Co., which were disposed of some thne ago to . Messrs. Simpson, are to be re-opened next Thursday, for the first time since the lock -out. THE CROPS IN TUN NORTH OF SOOTLAND.—In six weeks there has scarcely been. a shower of rain in the north of Scotland ; but, as the ground was thoroughly saturated with the heavy snow storms of last winter, the young biaird as yet has not suffered from the drought. Grass is short, and cattle are not off the turnip so early thifi year as usual, but there is still Muter keep for a few weeks, and with a few refreshing rams the season will be in all respects a promising one. A great breadth of potatoes has been planted, and in some districts a con- Womble quantity 'of flax hats been 'sown. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING- AT THE WEST END. GREAT NORTHERN HANDICAP.

STATISPICAL SOCIETY. A t the last Ordinary Meeting of the Statistical Society held at the rooms of the society, in St. James's Square, the Right Hon.. Holt Mackenzie in the chair, a paper was read " On the Old and New BiHs of Mortality; Death's and Fatal Diseases in London in the last four .teen years." By John Angus, Esq. The author gave a sketch of the origin and progress of the old bills of mortality. They were commenced in 1592, al.d )iad answered the purpose for which they had been origidally established, moreover, they had contri buted to English history much valuable and inte• resting information ; but, in two centuries and a half, these bills ha become somewhat antiquated. By their aid John Graunt, in 1662, had estimated the population of London at 384,000. The new system of registration for England and Wales commenced in 1837, and the new-machinery had obtained returns, which, by their fulness and accuracy, had superseded the old. The modern bills showed the births and deaths registered in the week up to Saturday night. The author described the population and area comprised in the new-bills, and the procesa by which the returns were obtained. The area embraced an extent of 122 square miles, on which surface was planted, in 1851, 305,933 inhabited houses, and contained in that year a population of 2,362,236 inha citants, increased in 1853 to 2,468,362. This population lived in a density varying from tivo persons to an acre at Lewisham, to 284 in St. Botoiph and Cripplegate and to an elevation varying - from 2 feet below high-ivater mark at Newington, to 350 feet above it at Hampstead. The births registered in the 14 years.lB4o-53 were 972,508, and the deaths 746,660 ' • the former tieing lh excess of the latter by 225,848. The ..rate of mortality during that period had been about 2•5 per cent., showing that London, throwing all its heterogeneous elements en masse, contrasted favourably with . some of the large towns in England ; ..nevertheless it still presented a. wide field for- the sanitary reformer. The destruction of infant life was excessive, but less so than" in Liverpool and Mauchester. , In Westmoreland, the deaths under one year were 120 in 1:000, -in London 200, in Liverpool 280, and in Manchester 290. Typhus bad increased in the last fourteen years at a rate far exceeding the increase of population. Those diseases bad increased which were chiefly generated and propagated by dirt, overcrowding, and other circumstances of bad sanitary condition. The class of zymetic diseases had destroyed, in the 14 years, 24 out of 100 .persons who had died from all causes ; tubercular diseases 18 ; diseases of the lungs and other organs of respiration 15; diseases of the brain 12. The author showed the proportions in which the various classee•of disease had increased. Surall-pox had decreased in 1853. An interesting feature in the returns for the next series of years would be the effect on,this disease— the scourge of London in past times—which recent legis lation may be expected to produce. In the 14 years this foul disease had destroyed 12,093 lives in London alone, being on an average 864. in the year, but in 1853 only 217 had died of it. :Typhus had increased 75 per cent. in the last seven years, as compared . with the pre vious seven years. Intemperance had increased in greater ratio than the population. The paper was illustrated by a series of valuable and interesting tables, in one of which was shown the periods in which the people enjoyed the greatest health, and those in which fatal diseases were most rife. In December, January, February, and March the deaths ranged from 4,500 to 5,000: month ; in June they fell t- 3,800. June, July, and October were more healthy than August. and SepteMber: The earliest and latest periods of the year were the most fatal.

Her /Ifajesty is about to establish a heronry at Osborne. There are plenty of lofty trees there, in the neighbourhood of ponds well stocked with fish. GIGANTIC BORING MACHINE.— We have ' frequently had reason to call attention to the wonderful progress of the mechanical arts in Glasgow, as evinced by the mag nificent character of the new tools which are every, now and. then manufactured in the machine works of our city. On no one occasion, however, have we been mere impressed with the magnitude of the operations carried on in our ship-building yards or steatmengitie factories than when, on Saturday, we Were invited to see a newly-finished boring machine, which has been made at the Albion Works of Messrs. G-. and A. Harvey, M'Ned-street. It is almost within the memory of middle-aged men when thomost of the metal boring in Scotland was wrought by hand-wrought drills, or by small turning-lathes. The many purposes to which iron is now applied, and the wonderful size to which all parts of machines, especially steam-engines, have grown, have put all such petty and primitive tools out of mind as wtll as out of sight. A mere boring tool, now-a-days, is a much laiger machine than many steam-engines were notion ago, and the one which has led us to make theabove remarks is larger than many steam-engines now in opera tion. This magnificent tool, which has been made for one of Mr. Robert Napier's engine-shops, weighs no less than 30 tons, and stands .25 feet high. The height of the entablature of the frame is 15 feet, and the width is no less than 14 feet. The framework 'of this grand' bor ing machine is composed of two upright columns, sur mounted by an elegant entablature, below which the wheels which give power to the boring tool are supported on a cross beam . of great size and strength. This tool, 'which can work at all speeds, from one revolution in 21 minutes, to 16 revolu tions in one minute, is capable of boring a hole in solid iron of.lo inches, or a cylinder of 7 feet diameter, and can take any feed from 1.40 th to Ith of an inch per revolution of the spindle ; and it is capable of boring a hole 7 feet 8 inches in length. These who are curious to have an idea of what the manufacturers of tools in Glasgow are capable' of producing would, we have no doubt, be highly gratified by an inspection of (his great machine. , We may mention,. in cone;usion, that this tool is to be used for boring and facing mal leable iron cranks, cross-heads, connecting-rods, cylin d•n•s, air-pumps, &c., for marine engines.—G(gegow Poif, COUNTRY ,211A.R1C,ifT2.
