THE CUSTOM ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE-CLEAVE V. WATSON AND OTHERS. • This was an action to recover £2, an alleged overcharge on commission, plaintiff being a speculator, and defendants a firm of stockbrokers of Capel-ccurt. Plaintiff said ho instructed defendants to buy £2,000 consols for him, and there had been an overcharge. De fendants had charged 1-16th commission, instead of 1-32 d, as per contract. It was the custom t.) charge half commis.- sion where a special agreement was made. One of the defendants said that his firm did business upon no such terms as those stated by plaintiff. No respectable stockbroker would think of charging 1.32 d. It could be amply proved that 1-16th was the customary half commis sion. Plaintiff—But I have here the contract in which express erms are set out. Defendant—And I produce the statement of my accounts with the plaintiff, in which your Honour will see that we have never charged less than 1.16 th commission. His Honour—l should think not. It does not seem 90 4 1 904 likely. Defendant—lf any alteration has been made in tho terms of the contract, it is an error on the part of one of our clerks, who clearly had no right to make it. Plaintiff—l go only upon your contract given after I had seen your advertisement, in which you agree to charge only halt commission. Defendant--And I may say that we have only charged that commission to which we are justly entitled. No brokers would charge less than 1-16th. Plaintiff—You perfectly well know that I am entitled to pay only 1•-32 d commission, and this defence is a little sharp practice on your part. Defendant—Here is the statement closing the account. His Honour—You have settled tne matter, and now you try to get the money paid out of the pockets of the defen dants by means of the process of this court. Ido not think that defendants would consent to do business upon the terms you mention. Plaintiff—l hold in my hand the special contract signed on behalf of the defendants by one of their authorised clerks. In that contract there is an agreement to do the business for me upon the terms mentioned in it. Defendant Shall I cell my clerk ? His Honour—Ch, certainly. It does seem necessary. Defendant's. clerk said that the contract put in originally stood at 1. 16th, but plaintiff requested that it should be altered to 1 -32 d, and witness altered it in error. Defendant—As your Honour must know, the usual broker's commission is 1-Bth, and the half of that is 1-16th. This sum has been charged all through to plaintiff, and he has paid it. Our statement shows this, and we are pre pared to stand by it. Plaintiff--Will you swear that you never charged as little as I-32d on contango? Defendant—l do. I never charged less than 1-16th. His Honour —I find that defendant's clerk has explained the nature of the contract, which appears to be au error, and that the customary charges have been made. De fendant will have a verdict, Verdict for defendants. Ropiness dont 105 6 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day, CITY BETTING—Tms DAY. ASCOT STAKES. sto 1 agst Ilippo;yta (taken) 7to 1 agst Bally Edmond.

The Dispute between the Coroner and Vestry of St, Pancras, Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the vestry of St. Pancras (Mr. Churchwarden Lawfor3 in the chair), the vexed question of the coroner's beadle ship was again brought under consideration, by the production of the opinion of Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Welsby, as to their right to dismiss Murrey, coroner's officer, and appoint another man, named Holland, in his place. After stating their case, the vestry call upon counsel for their advice as to whether they have any, and what power, to compel the coroner to deliver his warrants to Holland, whom they have appointed ; whether Murrey, having been dismissed by the vestry, can legally execute the coroner's warrant and receive payments made by the justices of the peace ; whether the vestry have any, and what remedy, against the coroner; whether the vestry have control over the constable in the execu tion of the office, and what, if any, proceeding should be taken by them. The opinion of Messrs. Lush and Welsby is against the vestry on every point. In their opinion the vestry have no power to compel the coroner to send his warrant to any particular person, and he may send it to any constable or police officer within the district where the death occurs. They do not find that the vestry has any authority under their act to appoint constables or peace officers, or to designate, under the denomination of " coroner's beadle," or otherwise, any particular constables or peace officers to perform the duty of executing the warrants of the coroner. Murree being a constable for the metropolitan district, they considered that all that was necessary for the pur pose. They answer the questions if the Vestry have any remedy against the coroner or right of control over the constable in the negative, and do not advise any proceedings by the vestry against either. Mr. BISHOP moved that the opinion of counsel be referred to the committee, to report upon the steps necessary to be taken under the circumstances, but it was negatived by a large majority, and the case and opinion ordered to be entered on the minutes of the board.

THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND V. THE GENTLE MEN OF DEVONSHIRE WITH ONE PLAYER —This match was played yesterday at Lord's, a few persons being pre sent, and finished in favour of Devon in one innings by 46 runs. Agricultural Chemistry, M. Boussingault, whose important labours in scientific agriculture are well known to our readers, attributes, in the 31 volume of his " Agronomie, Chimie Agricole et PhysiolcPgie," just published, to the oxalic acid contained in guano, qualities hitherto overlooked by other chemists. If, be observes, guano be treated by water, and the solution be immediately filtered, crystals of neutral oxalate of ammonia will be deposited by evaporation; the mother-ley thin contains sulphate and phosphate of ammonia; but if, instead of filtering, the mixture be left to digest for some time, the case is quite different, ; the oxalic acid goes on dimi nishing in the liquid as the digestion proceeds, ond phosphoric acid is formed instead ; after 24 hours, this acid and the ammonia are in sufficient quantity to form an abundant precipitate of phcs pate of ammonia and magnesia, when a solution of sulphate of ammonia is poured in. The phosphate of ammonia is produced by the oxalate, which, being dissolved, acts upon the phosphate of lime ; hence, by double decomposition, w e obtain a soluble phosphate of ammonia and an insoluble oxalate of lime. From this our author concludes that :he oxalic acid of guano is a principle of far greater importance than has hitherto been supposed. Both earthy and ammoniacal guano he considers to have the same origin ; but in tie former the disappearance of ammonia is probably due to local circumstances, such as the abundance and ' frequency of rain, which naturally favours the de. composition of organic substances and the dissolu tion of ammoniacal salts. And indeed that part of the South Sea coast where ammoniacal guano is found, offers this peculiarity that from Tumbes to the desert of Atacama rain is almost unknown, while in the parts nut comprist. , d between these limits, north of Tumbes, is the impenetrable and marshy forest 3 of the (Loco, it rains almost inces santly. At Pay ta,south of that province, it had not rained for 17 years, at the time M. Boussirlgault was there; and further south, at Chocope, in 7 deg. 46 min. S. lat., the rain which fell in 1726 was men tioned as a memorable event. Nor are there any storms on this Peruvian coast. An inhabitant of Pura or Sechura does not know what thunder is, unless he has travelled. This is the zone within which ammoniacal guana is found; north and south of this zone, guano, exposed as it is to tropical showers, generally contains no ammonia or soluble salts, but retains an unsoluble one, phosphate of lime. This third volume of M. Boussingault's work contains much interesting matter concerning climate, temperature, &c., chiefly comprising the results of the author's own experience and accurate observe.. tion.

DEATH OF SIRJOHN WATSON GORDON,P.R.S.A,, AND R.A.—The announcement of the death of Sir John Watson Gordon, which took place at Edinburgh, on Wednesday, will be universally received as that of a far more than local, of a truly national, loss. President of the Royal Scottish Academy, and member of the Royal Academy, the honour due to his unrivalled eminence in his especial department of his art was not less freely, nor with less pride in his genius, paid in England than in his native country, to which he, during his whole life, so lovingly and so beneficently clung. John Watson Gordon was born in Edinburgh some 74 years ago. He studied at the Academy of Trustees for the Encouragement of Manu facture in Edinburgh. He early turned his attention to that branch of his art in which he has achieved so high a reputation. He first exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1827, continuing to do so up to the present exhibition: In 1841 he was elected associate, and in 1851 member of the Royal Academy. He ham filled the chair of Presi dent of the Royal Scottish Academy, which owes to him so much of its vitality and its position, since the death of Sir W. Allan, in 1850. In that year, also, he was appointed limner to her Majesty, for Scotland, on which occasion he received the honour of knighthood. Sir John was unmar ried.--Scotsman. A NEW GIGANTIC BALLOON.—Mr. Caswell has just completed a flaw balloon, which is somewhat larger than the one in which he has made the high ascents, in company with Mr. Glaisher. Like its celebrated prede cessor, the present machine has been constructed at Tot tenham—this time under canvas, on the aeronaut's pre mises, and we may add entirely from Mr. Coxwell's own resources, both as regards artistic and pecuniary ability, There is a peculiarity about this balloon which admits of a vast increase of capacity, should enlargement be at any time necessary, in order to compete with continental " Geants." This novelty consists of the telescopic elongation, so to speak, of the balloon, by means of indiarubber cloth intrp duced when required into the equator. Messrs. Fanehawe and Jacques, of the Tottenham Indiarubber Works, are trying a few experiments to ascertain which is the most suitable material for Mr Cox well's purpose; and they have permitted their designer, Mr Williams, to attend to Mr. Coxwell's requirements, and also to execute an immense figure of Britannia, as a specimen decoration to the balloon, to be transferred thereupon when it shall have achieved its first ascent. The magnificent addition to aerostatic art will be inflated in the centre transept of the Crystal Palace, on the 6tb, 7tb, and Bth inst. It is rumoured that the novel idea of a concert inside the balloon is to be carried into effect each day during the exhibition. An engine of two-horse power will keep up a continual supply of fresh air, so that the orchestral department may net be inconvenienced. Some interesting experiments on the propagation of sound will be connected with this balloon concert, and thus, like most of Mr Coxwell's undertakings, amusement will be associated with science.—lottenkant Advertiser, June 1. MADRID, May 31.—Advices from Peru state that the Government of that country seemed disposed to give satisfaction to Spain.

WESTMINSTER. CAUTION AGAINST INTERFERING WITH THE POLICE. — ATTEMPT TO RESCUE A PRISONER —James Paddock, coal porter, in the service of Messrs Sale & Co., coal mer chants, was charged before Mr Arnold with interfering with the police in the execution of their duty and with attempting to rescue a prisoner from the custody of a constable, Policeman 247 B, stated that about five o'clock in the afternoon of the previous day he was on duty in Brompton when he took a man into custody. The prisoner came up and asked him to let the man go, ho refused to do so. Witness told him that if he interfered with him (witness) he should take him into custody - . The prisoner then told the man to lie down on the pavement. When he dropped down, prisoner at the same time observed that he would not go away until he had witness's name and address. Witness subsequently had a struggle with the man in his custody. With the asssistance of another constable the prisoner was secured and taken to the police station. By Mr Arnold—The prisoner was drunk, and the man in toy custody was charged with being drunk and incapable. Mr. Arnold (to the Prisoncr)—Well, what have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner remarked that he thought the man in the cus tody of the police was one of his mates, but he found that he was in the employment of Messrs Ricketts and Smith. All he said to the constable was, " Are you going to lock him up ?" He (the constable) said, "You have nothing to do with it." Mr Arnold—When you found that the man was not your mate you should have gone away. B 290 corroborated the evidence, and said that when the prisoner ran away he went after him and took him into custody. Mr Arnold—You are convicted for an improper interfer ence with the police in the execution of their duty. Prisoner was fined 405., or in default 14 days' imprison. ment. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here today was small. The demand, however, ruled far from active ; nevertheless, Monday's currency was supported. The market was moderately supplied with most descrip tions of foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was somewhat restricted, yet prices ruled fit rn. Floating cargoes of grain were steady in price, although the trade for them was in a sluggish state. Grinding barley sold steadily at full quotations; other wise, the barley trade was quiet, on former terms. In malt about an average business was transacted, at full prices. The supply of oats on the stands was but moderate. On the whole, the trade ruled steady at very full prices. Beans were in small supply, and steady request, at ex• treme rates. Peas moved off steadily, and prices ruled firm. The flour trade was steady, and no quotable change tcok place in the currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt Oats. Flour.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Argyllshire Roads—London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way (No. 2) (New Lines, &c.)Metropolitan and Stunt John's Wood Railway—Midland Railway (Bath and Thorn bury)—Rock Life Assurance Company—Salop Fire Office —Severn Valley Railway—Thames Embankment (South Side)—Trent, Ancholme, and Grimsby Railway—West minster Palace Hotel Company. RAILWAY COMPANIES. Lord STANLEY moved that so much of the standing order 142 as prohibited railway companies owning or using steam vessels, harbours, and docks be repealed. Ho pro posed that these questions should be referred to a committee upstairs, and he believed that the order as it now stood would not be beneficial to the public interests. That order was made under circumstances totally different to the present, and he denied that the effect of the alteration which he proposed would give, as was contended, a monopoly to the railway companies. He could not see how it concerned Parliament or the public whether vessels or dock should be held by railway companies or any other bodies so long as traffic was facilitated. Mr. BARROW asked the house to pause before consent ing to this alteration. He was very anxious for this stand ing order being agreed to some years ago, in order to prevent a monopoly on the part of railway companies, which he thought was a subject in which the house should justly interfere. He strongly objected also to railway companies having such extensive powers as this order was intended to limit, without any reference to Parliament. Mr. CLAY objected to the motion of the noble lord, and he denied that this order prohibited railway proprietors be coming shipowners, but merely imposed on them the onus of showing the necessity of what they desired as a matter of public convenience. He considered that the repeal of this order would go further than it proposed, as it would convey an intimation to railway companies that the powers which they sought would be granted wherever they were required, instead of throwing on them the necessity of showing that such powers would be exercised for the public interest. He defied any one who had read the evidence before the committee to come logically to the conclusion that by giving railway companies these extensive powers the interests of the public would be pro moted. Mr. HODSON said that if he thought the repeal of this order would have the effect of injuring the shipping into • rest, he would not advocate it, but he contended that such would not bo the result. He considered, however, that in regard to the purchase of shipping, or any other property, the shareholders of railways ehonld have the right of restricting their directors in making purchases of such property. Under all the circumstances he felt bound to support the motion of the noble lord. Sir H. CAIRNS was opposed to the alteration proposed, and cited the evidence adduced before the committee to show daetu c o nt.era. that the effect of the standing order being repeal e d wou l d be to drive steamship owners out of the field altog e th er , and, therefore, virtually create a mononop o ly w hi c h wou l d not conduce to the benefit of the public. Mr. M. GIBSON said the case wass, aft erimply that plaints had been made to Parli ament which h?cltO the appointment of a committee, which tion, recommended the adopttihoantthoefthe u r declaredpolicy of now ad vocated. It of the house was different to it s practice. Since 1848 the se practice of Parliament had been to grant powers to public MEMBER.—Sometimes to refuse th em . mpnr. a GIBSON said somet i mes to refuse them. (A comA laugh.) Although that th e same noble lord wanted we? that when powers were required by a company on any particular occasion. What the noble lord (Stanley) asked was merely , to repeal an order that was calculated to mislead the coun try. After some discussion, the motion was negatived without a division.
