U. Berger, liOlyweU-street, Strand. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, April 24. YEARENSIDE DERHAM-THOMPSON V. DERHAM. IN RE DERHAM.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR—There does net appear to he much controversy as to the facts in this case. The iptestion is as to the rights ofette respective parties. In the year 1829 William Hinde formed this partnership with Walter Alan Hinde, James Durham, and Robert Derham. The whole of the stock in trade, machinery, end what was necessary fur the purpose of carrying on the business, was provided by William Hinde. It had formerly - belonged to the partnership of Hindes and Patchett. I presume that William._ Hinde purchased it for that sum. It was taken at a valuation—a valuation of about 61,0001., and was transferred to the new firm, and as this stock in trade was furnished entirely by William Hinde, he had credit with the partnership for the amount of the valuation. The amount of that valua • tion, therefore, was at that time his capital in the con cern; and if the partnership had been dissolved imme diately afterwards, and the stock in trade had been valued at precisely the same sum, it would follow that the whole of that stock in trade would have belonged again to William Hinde, and would have been appro priated to him. By the partnership articles he had an interest to the extent of 11-20ths in the concern, that is, in the profit and loss of the concern. The other parties had between themselves, I think, the other nine shares, 3 .20ths to each of them. - Those were the respective interests that the parties took in the profit and loss of the concern. It was stipulated in the partnership deed— the partnership to endure for sixteen years—it was stipulated that if William Hinde should die before the expiration of the sixteen years, that he should have the privilege of naming, either by deed, or by his will any one or more of his sons to succeed, him in the partner ship to the extent of so much of his share and interest as amounted to .s * -20ths ; and it was also stipulated that he should leave in the concern, or that his son should bring into the concern, a capital not exceeding 30,0001., at the discretion of the surviving partners. It was also stipu lated that after his death, if he should, appoint a son or sons to succeed him in the concern, that `that part of his interest which was not disposed of to' his on should be purchased by the surviving partners, and they should give for the purpose of securing that sum to the repro sentatives of William Hinde a mortgage upon the lease hold and the freehold property belonging to the con cern, and it was stipulated that that part of his capital should be paid out by instalments of 1,500/. yearly, the first instalment to be paid, I think, in the year 1835. Such were the provisions, as far as it is necessary at present to consider them, of the partnership articles. It is material, therefore, to consider if no alteration had taken place with respect to the relative position of the parries, what 'would have been the effect of the partner -hip artic:es, supposing he had appointed a son to sue • cited him in the concern, and had died before the ex piration of the sixteen years. The effect. of it I con sider would be this : you would ascertain what his capital was in the concern at the time of his death. - You would deduct from that capital the 30,000/. that was to be loft in the concern, and the surviving partners would be required to execute a mortgage upon the lease hold and freehold property f it the.amount of the differ ence between the capital in the concern and the suet left in the concern for the purpose of carrying it on for the benefit of his own son ; for instance, as an example, the only case that I have of a stock-taking, was in the year 1833—June, 1833. It appears by- that stock-taking, which %%as to he the measure of his interest, that at that time the capital in the concern terieeeriied altogether to 51,0001., and •of that 51,000/., 41,000/..; and upwards was the share of the capital belonging to Mr. William I I hide ; therefore, if the partnership had been dissolved by his death, shortly after that stock-taking, the sur viving partners keeping 30,000/. in 'the concern, as the capital of the incoming partner, the son of William ii jade, they must have given security for the difference between the 30,000/, and the 41,0001., which was his interest in the concern at that time. That I take to be the true construction of the partner ship articles, and the meaning of the parties at the time they executed that instrument. Then an alteration afterwards took place ; when I say afterwards, not after the stock-taking, to which I have referred, but after the execution of the articles. In the month of February, 1832, a new arrangement was made with respect to th e i nterests of the respective pitrtners. It was agreed that, from that time, Mr. William Hindu should em be or i a n n te d r u e ll s l ted to th e ex tent only of five-twentieths, and that. th e ot h er fif teen-twent i et h s s h ou ld b e divided between the oth er partners in the s h ares mentioned in t went with resp ect to t h e mortgage was a t a n end. I do not think th at t h at i s the construction o f t h e par t ners hip i chf that ahta alteration,v e he and arrange- said that, in consequence to which o articles or the Interning of the parties. The alteration as to the proportions in which they were to be interested in the profit and loss, did not at all affect the amount of the capital which he had in the concern. If they had dissolved the partnership immediately after the change had taken place, Mr. William Hinde would have been entitled, to have out of the p ar tnership precisely the same sum th a t h e wou l d have been entitled to take im mediately before the alteration. It was the capital in the concern which was the object of consideration with respect to this security. It is called the capital of the concer n in the partnership articles.--ethey speak of his interest in the concern. His interest and share in the stock in trade and in the machinery, but it is called his capital. I I is said eepital is to be paid out by instalments of 1,500/ • a year, the first instalment to be paid in the year 1835 ; and when you come to the alteration 'in the partnership articles there is, in the same memorandum, his said capital is not to be begun to he paid until five or six years—l forget which—till five or six years after the death of William Hinde. That is the thing to which reference is made. It is his interest in the concern—his capital—his capital as ascertained at each stock-taking, because his capital is ascertained, and that of the 'Tepee , Live partners is also ascertained at the stock-takings. It is his capital that is to be paid out—it is the balance of capital fur which security is to be given. I conceive, therefore, that notwithstanding the alteration in the pro portions in which the partners e ere to be Interested in the profit and loss in consequence of the memorandum entered into.in the month of February in the year 1832, the stipulation with respect to the mortgage security re mained unaltered. It is said that he had no surplus in terest, that the whole interest was given to his son, but it is quite clear that that was not the intention of the par ties, because, in that very item, they talk of the continu ing capital, and arrange as to the manner in which that continuing capital is to be paid out. It is to be paid out, the first payment to be made six years after the death of William Dinh ; I consiter, therefore, :he mortgage se -8 curity was required after the alteraptrioofintaahnidchlohssadb) thatt,aken relates to the parties in this transaction, namely, the representatives of Williamtoshares ls.

And therefOre Hinde and the partne rshi p , I think they were bound to memorandumplace with respect of ,a s February,ofa ther as s 1 have given security for th e difference between the , that W capital and the 30,0001. as to be continued in the 'concern, provided William llinde had appointed a son to succeed him in the manner arranged by the partnership articles. The next question, there fore, to be considered is this—whether the will made any. attention—what change was ail , cted by the provisions contained in the will. It is quite clear that he intended to execute the partnership articles in the will. He recites the particular provision in the partner• ship articles { that he 'has a right to appoint a son, or -sons, to succeed him in the partnership, as far as relates to his interest in the five-twentieths; but lie does not execute the yortnership articles, as it appears to me, strictly. The provision was that lie should have the powei 7 'of naming a son or sons to succeed him. He does not name any son or sons to succeed him, but he makes this arrangement, that the partnership shall be carried on for the benefit of his sons in some way or other. He gives a power to his widow, during her life, to arrange between the sons what part or interest any one of them shall take. She has the absolute power, if she' thinks proper, to exclude any one or more, to appro priate the whole to one, or to divide it equally, or in any other proportions, between the rest; and in the event of her death, he gives the same authority to William Lamb and James Derham, his executors. It is a contingent and eventual prevision in favour of Thomas Foster Hinde, conditional on his behaving himself properly — behaving himself properly, I suppose, in the opinion of the widow, during her life, or in the opinion of the exe 'cutors aftereards. This is not a strict execution of the ' partnership articles. Whether or not the surviving parts ners would have had a power of neglecting this altogether it is unnecessary to decide. They adopted it—they acted upon it—they acted upon the provision contained in the will adopting it, and therefore they are bound by it; and therefore it appears to me that this clause iii the will, thus titled tepee. by : the ourviv* ing partners with the consent of the executors — this clause in the will was an authority to the execu tors to continue in the partnership the 30,000/. that would have been continued in the partnership, if the provision in the partnership articles had been strictly executed by 'William Hinde. I consider, therefore, they are still, notwithstanding these alterations by the will, they are still in the same situation with respect to their liabilities, as between them and the estate of William Hinde, as if the partnership articles had been strictly complied with, that they were bound to execute a mort gage for the surplus of capital beyond the 30,0001., that, I think, by these provisions in the will, the executors were entitled to continue in the partnership. I think that is all that it is necessary for me to state for the pur pose of settling the relative rights and claims, and dispa -sition of things, between the partnership and the estate of William Hinde. The estate of William Hinde was entitled to . a mortgage security upon the leasehold and freehold property to the extent of the difference between his capital and the 30,000/, which, I think, the execu tors were authorised to continue in the firm. That being so, the next question for consideration is, as to the claim of Lancaster Bank. The Lancaster bank advanced,. in the time of William Hinde,' and almost immediately after the partnership was formed, began to advance large sums of money upon the deposit of securities, and this continued up to the time of William Hinck's death ; and at the period of William Hinde's death, there was a debt of more than 30.0001., I think, due from the 'partnership to the 'Lancaster bank. They were entitled, therefore, to hold the securities which had been deposited with them until that money was. paid off. If that money was paid off, then as far as re lated to William Hinde, they would have no claim upon him, but till it - was paid off they lld'a claim upon him and against his estate. When paid off therefore, if paid off, thn William Hinde's estate would be entitled to the first charge upon the leasehold and freehold property. If the mortgage had been executed, which it ought to have been, as it was provided for, that mortgage would have been the first security after the debt due at the time of 'William Hinde's death had been paid to the Lancaster Bank. The next question, therefore, is, what is the effect of the subsequent transactions—has that been paid off, that debt due from William Hinde, at the time of his death, upwards of 30,000/. ? It appears that, immediately after William Hinde's death an arrange ment was entered into between the surviving partners and the Lancaster Bank. The effect of that arrange ment, as I collect it from all the circumstances of the case ; the effect of the transaction was this, that they agreed between themselves that the account should go on, as it had before gone on, between the bank and the surviving partners—that is, between the bank and the new firm, not between the bank and the surviving part ners, but between the bank and the new firm. The effect of the arrangement I consider to be this,—that they take the new firm as their debtors, the account was to go on between the bank and the new firm as it had gone on before. That being so, upwards of 30,000 L more than the balance due at William Hindu's death is admitted to have been paid by the new firm to the bank. The ultimate balance at the time of the bankruptcy, I think, against the partnership was 28,000/., but the effect of this operation, if I understand it, is clearly this—that the whole of that part of the debt that was due by Wil liam Hinde, has been paid off and discharged. If that be so then, the consequence follows that the first charge upon the partnership is the mortgage, which ought to have been executed by the partnership to the representatives in favour of the estate of 'William Hinde. I consider the whole of the debt due from ,William Hinde to have been paid off in consequence of that arrangement bet Ween the parties immediately after the death of William Hinde, and renewed and re peated at subsequent periods so as to put an end to all doubt as to what the nature of the understanding and transactions between them was; the account was trans ferred as it were to the new partnership, and the earlier part of it, namely, 1833, or 1834, or 1836, which was due at William }Linde's death, has been long since wiped off and discharged ; therefore, I apprehend that the first security is the mortgage security, that ought to have been executed upon the leasehold and freehold property in favour of the estate of William Hinde. The next question for consideration is as to the lease holds or rather as to the fixtures. There was a lease _granted, I believe; of the machinery and premises at I)olphinholme, by the late Duke of Hamilton. The late Duke of Hamilton agreed when that lease ran out to to renew it, and he gave a bond in 7,0001. for the purpose of securing that renewal, in case he should (lie, by his successors. The lease ran out in the year 1836. There is no dispute, and no doubt that while that lease was current, the fixtures were a part of the security. I do not think that hits been at all controverted. It is clear, beyond all doubt in point of law, that the fixtures were part of the security. The present Duke of Hamilton refued to renew the lease, and the bond, which had been part of the securities, de posited—the bond was put in suit, 6,000/. was recovered in the shape of damages, and the 6,0001. was paid to the Lancaster Bank. It is said that the lease having run out, there was an end to the lien upon the fixtures, because they formed :a part of the mortgaged estate as long as the lease continued ; but the moment the lease ended, of course there was an end of the security upon the fixtures ; they became goods and chattles, the fix tures fur the purpose of trade, and therefore goods and chattcls in the order and disposition of the bankrupts, and therefore passed to their assignees ; and that was so considered, and the assignees, I believe, sold them. However, the question is reserved fur consideration—the money is secured, and therefore there was no difficulty on that ground. At the time when the bond was deli vered over, at the desire of the new partnership, to the agent of the late Duke of Hamilton, there was an ex press agreement and s tip u l a ti on that any new lease that should be granted by the present Duke of Hamil ton should be deposited as a continuing security with the Lancaster Bank ; and a negotiation took place with the present Duke for a new lease, and a new lease was executed by the Duke, and a counterpart so executed by the partnership was deposited with the Lancaster Bank. But before the lease was delivered over by the Duke to the partnership the bankruptcy took place, the lease be came forfeited, and the question is, under these circum stances, whether the lien upon the fixtures continued, and I think it does. After the first lease terminated, they held as the tenants from year to year, under the new Duke, during the treaty for the lease. Whatever interest, therefore, they had in the premises I consider in point of equity was the interest of the Lancaster Bank, and I think that was sufficient therefore to maintain the lien, the fixtures being a part of that interest, and I think under such circumstances the assignees have no right whatever to the fixtures. There was an interest in the partnership, an interest from year to year, waiting the event of the execution of the new lease, and that interest I think in point of equity vested in the Lancaster Bank, and was sufficient there fore to maintain a lien upon the fixtures, which were a part of those premises. I think, therefore, under these circumstances, that the fixtures belong to the Lancaster Bank, and did not pass to the assignees. This, I think, is the nicest point that I have had to decide, and after some consideration I think that is the true view of the case. I think, therefore, I have decided all the points that it is necessary to decide for the purpose of settling the rights of the parties. The estate of William Hinde is entitled to the mortgage security fur the difference betweed the 30,0001. and the amount of his capital at the time of his death. I think that amounts to about 11,0001. I think, as I have before stated, as between the Lan caster Bank and the assignees, that the fixtures belonged to the Lancaster Bank. I think they were entitled, as of course, to a lien upon all the deeds that had been de posited with them, subject always to this mortgage se curity, to which the estate of William Hinde is entitled. I think that all the rights of the parties will be adjusted, having decided those particular points, and therefore with that view, if the parties cannot agree upon the mi nutes, I will settle the minutes. Mr. BETHELL—I would humbly ask of your Lord ship that a day might be named for the purpose ; and all that I would beg to suggest to your Lordship at pre sent would be, that as your Lordship now declares, as a judge, that the debt due to the Lancaster Bank at the time of the death of William llinde, has been paid off by the new partnership, the new partnership will be entitled to stand in the shoes of the bank as touching the freehold and leasehold property comprised in that instrument, in priority to that charge which the estate of William flinde will have. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I think not at all. I think that is considered entirely, and settled in arranging what the capital of William Hinde was in the concern ; that is one of the items in the account.. The partnership take that to themselves. It is settled between William liinde's estate and the partnership, if you will consider that ; if you will look at the sti.ck, and see the manner in which the account was settled, you will find that is (\ne c.f the items in the account ; and it is taking that into account the capital of William flinchi is reduced to 41 ; 0001. . Mr. BETHELL—Yes ; we shall have something, pro bably, to submit to your Lordship. The Loin CHANCELLOR —If there is any point I have omitted—there are so many points—l have decided the main points, I believe. Mr. BETHELL---YOHr Lordship has decided every followf found there-under. that e n v d e e r r y . g, I rrdc(,,a,Lbpiti(n)t fact, it. rbtheheaces,a)isLblctecenrt_nis thing necessary to make these declarations, which will due to rdship The only thing would be as to the ascertaining the capital of William Hinde. govern the other directions The LOUD CHANCELLOR—I think, with re3pect to the point you have made now, it occurred to me in the course of c,nsidering the question ; but the moment I t ta u ei r :m n ie e rdi d . T t n t to Net accordinglNitteEeycmlua n nlt n to, e d r t in e namely,swt so h ae i y e Lan caster Bank, was included; there::: paid and settled between the estate and the partnership. e that part of our case was that the 11,0001., if due, has been actually paid off. The LORD CHANCELLOR—When I say 11,0001. — Mr. TlNNEY — Whatever the sum • •it is a matter of account, tenon was, we say,- 111 point of' fact, that the I.lltt.ylhatih(kei)cilili estate has lutd much more. That will lead to accounts and inquiries in the decree ; there will be a gncd many questions as to that,'and suppose your Lordship would probably reserve any consideration about what you are to do with the costs until we propose the minutes. Mr. Bh:TRELL---We need not trouble your Lordship• about the 'accounts. There will be, of necessity, an ac count. .We have paid to . the - eitite large sums of money since. . The LORD CHANCELLOR—There was so much re ference as to the stock• taking. You will find the ques tion as to . the accounts is very much simplified. Mr. BETHELL—The only thing is to fix a dad• on which we might settle the minutes, while the matter is fresh in the recollection of the parties. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Next Wednesday, if you please. If you can hand the project to me before we meet, - as . the case is very complicated, I will consider it. Mr. TINNEY—If we can agree. Mr. RUSSELL—We must consider the decree your . Lordship has made between the Lancaster Bank and the partnership, with respect to the fixtures. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Whom do you represent ? You represent the estate of William Hinde. Mr. RUSSELL—I represent the ests.te of William Hinde. My mortgage extended to all the leaseholds, as as well as all the freeholds, and, therefore, that leasehold interest will also be subject to my mortgage, so that my interest will come in priority to the bank over that. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Yes. Mr. RUSSELL—And it will be necessary, also, to have a direction to refer it to the Master. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Yes. If I am right in de ciding that the debt due by William Hiade has been paid oft; and I have no doubt about it, then.vour mort gage comei . rtrzt; _ _ _ - Mr. IttrssELL—Then I was entitled also to have a joint and several bond, as well as a mortgage. The LORD CHANCELLOR—DO you mean the Duke of Hamilton's bond. Mr. RUSSELL— No ; I was entitled to have a bond. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Oh yes ; you were entitled to have a bond—a joint and several bond from the sur riving partners. Mr. RUSSELL—It will be therefore requisite that there should be a reference to the Master to inquire whether it would be for the benefit of the infants to eloet to take the security against the joint estate or against the sepa•. rate estate. Mr. BETHELL—That you must settle between your selves; the only thing, if your Lordship would forgive me for asking it, is this, that I did not very clearly col lect whether you consider, that the general estate of William Hinde became a partner to the extent of thirty thousand pounds. The LORD CHANCELLOR—No; I consider it precisely as if William Hinde had directed his executors to em ploy thirty thousand pounds in the concern. That, of course, would not make his general estate liable. Mr. BETHELL—No, my Lord, I ppreciated, I fully understood that ; but whether your Lordship considered the application to employ the 30,090/., which would be the limit of the liability, was for the benefit of his estate generally or for the benefit of the son alone? Whether all the children could be entitled to participate in the be nefit of the 30,0001.? _ _ The LORD CHANCELLOR—OnIy the son in the first place, and those who partake according to the discretion of the widow; and after her death according to the dis cretion of William Lamb, I think his name is, and James Derham ; that is my opinion. Mr. TINNEY—I am not quite sure, whether the fix tures according to your Lordship's principle would be included in that mortgage, but that is a question we must consider. The LORD CHANCELLOR—You mean Mr. Russell's mortgage? Mr. TINNEY—Yes. The LORD CIIANCELLOR —That is a point to which I have not adverted. It you have any doubt about it I will attend to it. Mr. TINNEY—If your Lordship pleases. If we show the 11,000/. are paid off, then we shall be the first mortgagees. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The mortgage due to the Lancaster Banking Company was a mortgage of the leaseholds and fixtures by name. The fixtures of course were not mentioned, from the nature of the transaction, but wherever there is a mortgage of the leaseholds it carries the fixtures. Mr. TlNNEY—Generally speaking it would, but thae I may be specialties, if your Lordship will permit us to mention it, if necessary. Mr. BETUELL—We had better leave it till next Wed nesday. We will prepare the minutes by Monday, if your Lordship pleases, so that you may have a copy 'of them. Mr. TINNEY—We may be first mortgagees. We may show the whole 11,000/. has been paid off. Ido not kmiw who should prepare the minutes. Mr. BETHELL—There are two or three plaintiffs. Mr. TINNEY—We are the plaintiffs. Mr. BETHELL—If you will take the onus of preparing the minutes. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Let Mr. Russell do it; he has so much leisure. Mr. BETHELL—Oh, yes, if you and Mr. Tinney will take the charge of overlooking them afterwards. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

SIR,—Is it possible that our landed aristocracy can read the distressing cases (which are continually appear ing in your columns) of the death of shirtmakers and others by starvation? When we reflect that by our corn-laws their few miserable pence, gained by the severest exertions, are still further reduced for the main taining in splendour those who ought, and were in tended by Providence to be, their natural protectors, we see, alas! that, instead of he rich feeding and clothing the hungry and naked, the; poor, in all their heart rending poverty, compelled to contribute to those who are running over with the good things of this life. Continue, Sir, your exertions for the wiping away from our country so foul a stain, and I feel convinced that, ere long, the nation will arise in its strength, and demand, with a voice not to be resisted, the repeal of a starving and unjust corn-law.—Yours, respectfully, A READER OF "THE SUN.' Yarmouth, A pril 24, 1844. • THE SEASON AND THE CROPS.—Thet pwreesheanytesheattd son has hitherto been one of the finest w t for several years for promoting the _ll.o g. tthheof: those crops farmers to which are already sown, and h 131 prepare the land for those which remain to be sown. In England, between Liverpool and" all the counties of Engla S ou thampton, as well as in N or mandy and the other • northern provinces of France, in Belgium, in Rhenish Prussia as far as Frankfort, th e wheat c' and in Germany crops this year are most promising. We do not remember to have seen above half-a-dozen bad fields o f wheat in a journey of one thousand or twelve hundred miles. In general the plant is very thick, the colour good, and the promise of the crop excel lent. • The same observation applies to the oat, the rye, the clover, and rape crops on the Continent, and to the grass crops in England. In the limestone districts of Normandy and , n _Flanders, as well as in the rich district of Mayriuce and Frankfort, the e clovers are unusually fine this year, mid it is a remarkable proof of what may be effected by rich cultiva;ion, that the Colza, or rape plant, was at least a yard high, and in full bloom, in Easter week, between Mailines and Antwerp, at a time when it was not even in bud in districts of France a couple of degrees further south. Owing to the heavy rains of March, and the general warmth of the first fort night in April, this and most other crops were as forward as they were ever known to be at this season all the way from Havre to the Rhine. In this neighbourhood, and throughout England generally, they look as well as could be wished. 'rho cleaning and preparing the land for spring crops has now made great progress ; and, in this county, which is famed above all others for its potato cul tivation, the planting of potatoes has become general. There has never been a finer season for getting them into the ground, and the showers of the last few days will cause them to germinaie rapidly, and thus save them from the diseases to which they are subject in dry springs.—Liverpool Times.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—About eighteen months ago I . addressed, through the medium of your paper, a few lines to the holders of the above bonds, advising them tQ exer cise that inestimable virtue of patience it little longer, and not to dispose of their property at the prices .then quoted ; since which, the Buenos Ayres love risen'ls per cent., and the Venezuela portion of the Colom bian debt is at 40, paying the dividends regulatty. From undoubted information %l Mal I have recently received, I now seriously caution the holders of - these bonds not to pill with the remaining - portion of their Colombian at the present. paltry-quotation of *l5 - per cent. ; for, if the Venezuelan part, consisting of . 2 4 per cent., of the original debt be worth 40, and the arrears of coupons 12 percent., surely the remnants, consisting of 50 - per .cent, New Granada's portion, and 21i- per cent., the ,Equatorian p or ti on , with . the arrears of dividend since 182G,_ must be very consi- Aerably under their value at 16 I The almost cer tainty of the arrangements being compl e t e with these States and the Committee of South All:erican Loud holders within a very short period, renders this quo tation of 15, one of those Stock Exchange anomalies which so frequently occur in m a rking prices in,tlmt house. The dividends on Buenos Ayres Sock v ill probably be resumed upon the termination of the war, by the sur render of Monte Video; the news , , , f which event way beexpelted to arrive by the next packet. The amount of this loan is only one million stock, contracted, at about 80 sterling per cent., by the respectable house of Messrs. Baring and Co. in 1824; but as no dividend has been paid since January, 1827, there is due next July, 105 per cent. arrears of coupons, which will probably be consolidated into a deferred stock, similar to the Chilian ; therefore, a purchaer of Buenos Ayres at 36 (at which price all arrears of dividends are eluded), stands a fair chance of realising the present value of Chilian, upon his investment, within the next twelve months.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, A CONSTANT. READER AND SUBSCRIBER. April 24, 1844. MR. FERRA.ND. The following is the OrdEr for this night's proceedings in the House of Commons, in the case of Mr. Ferrand. The lively debate of Wednesday night, amusing as it was, sug gests nothing to us that we have not already said; and if.we were to write for years upon the subject we doubt whether we could exhibit the trumpery character of the' whole pro ceeding so strikingly as it is exhibited in the following ex tract. This is the case which Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and Ward ripped up, after Sir J. Graham and Mr. Hogg had, like gentlemen and men of sense, suffered it to sleep ten days : "Complaint made of passages of a speech delivered at a public meeting which took placl in the Music Hall, at Leeds, in favour of the Ten Hours' Factory Bill, by William Bus feild Ferrand, Esq., a Member of this House, as reported in the Times newspaper of Wednesday, April 10th, 1844: Newspaper delivered in, and passages complained of read; as follow : " • I know a little about Sir James Graham ; I have had to battle against him when fighting the cause of the working classes in this county; and a man who took steps to procure a report which was false, merely for the phrpose of crushing a Member of the House of Commons, who raised his voice in defence of the suffering poor, would not hesitate to keep the working classes in the manufacturing districts in a state of degrading slavery. What was his conduct in my own case? I stuck to the man like a leech. I told him the report of Mr. Mott, his Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, was false. I was determined to bring it before the House until justice was done ; but he feared to meet me, and dismissed the poor tool who, had been his degraded and ignominious instrument in fabri cating the injurious report. " That is not all Sir J. Graham has done of late, for the purpose of putting down the advocates of the poor in the House of Commons. You will remember that Mr. Walter was returned for Nottingham, and I have had the honour of battling by that gentleman's side the enemies of the poor. No man has resisted the new Poor-law more rigorously; or -at a greater sacrifice of time and money, than Mr. 'Walter. It was, therefore, felt necessary by Sir J. Graham to get him out of the House of Commons, for Sir James was a man who could not bear to hear the truth spoken, especiallyy on that subject. A petition was presented against Mr. Wal ter's return. The Committee sat several days, and entered into an inquiry as to the alleged bribery and corruption which Mr. Walter had committed in obtaining his seat. They could not prove that he had spent one farthing, nor had he; they could only prove that his friends in the town of Not tingham; not his agents, had spent between 30/. and 401. in money and what they call treating. The Committee was divided—there were three Whigs for throwing him out, and three Tories for keeping Mr. Walter in, Mr. Hogg, the Mem ber for Beverley, one of the most pure boroughs in the king dom, forsooth—whether he got his seat for 404 I do not know—but this Tory Chairman aided Sir James Graham and the Government in unseating Mr. Walter. Mr. Hogg tried to explain away his conduct on that occasion ; the whole of the Government side of the House, on which I sat, listened with feelings of disgust while he higgled and haggled through his explanation; but there was one man who vociferously cheered, and that one man was Sir James Graham.'

Meeting with an acquaintance on Monday last, he communicated the circumstances attending the attack to him, upon hearing which, the feiend of Mr. Good ridge remarked- that a second attack of the complaint ge nerally carried off the patient, and he at the same time recommended Mr. Goodridge to be most cautious, otherwise that would be his fate. Mr. Goodridge, on returning home, expressed great dread of a second attack, and it appeared, while labouring under a great deal of nervous excitement, he retired, unknown to the family, to the rear of the pre mises, and in a shed where lumber was kept lie put a period. to his existence, and was found soon afterwards hanging by the neck from one of the beams.

We trust the authorities will spare no efforts to detect the delinquents, and so put down a system so discredit. able to the district.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
