The performances here last evening were for the benefit of that very talented musician Mr. Benedict, and the house, as might be expected, was exceedingly well filled in the very early part of the evening. The performances commenced with Mr. Benedict's own opera, the Brides of Venice, which seems to increase in success at each representation. After the opera, there was a concert, in which Sivori played a con certo on the violin, and afterwards performed Paga nini's variations on the " Carnival of Venice." The latter piece was encored, and in both he exhibited his wonted taste and wondrous powers of execution. Miss Rainforth sang the old Jacobite ballad, " Wel come to Charlie," in which she also was encored ; and Madame Dulcken and Benedict performed one of Thal, berg's duets for two pianos with great taste and effect. The lion of the evening was Signor Leonardo Sail vi, the celebrated tenor singer, who, on this occasion, made his first appearance in England. Salvi's voice reminds us very much of Donzelli's is his best days. It is no puny organ ' but a full clear rich tenor ; his falsetto, to which he has recourse but seldom, and which he al ways manages with exquisite taste, is exceedingly beautiful. His compass is very great, and he has cultivated his voice to almost the highest pitch of per fection. Ile possesses great powers of expression, and nothing can exceed the beautiful and expressive pathos which he throws into his cantabile passages. His person is fine, and his features very expressive. We consider Salvi a greater singer than Duprez is now, as great as Duprez was some 6 years ago ; and the day is not far distant when Leonardo Salvi will be hailed by the common consent of the musical world as the first tenor in Europe. The piece chosen for his debut was the last scene of Donizetti's opera of Lucia di Lammermoor, in which, of course, he appeared as Edgardo, and never have we seen that scene nearly so beautifully represented. There was an intensity about his personation of the part which proved him to be as great an actor as he is a singer. At the conclu sion he was called for, and received with reiterated plaudits. The farce of My Wife's come concluded the evening's amusements. LYCEUM. The Lyceum soes on flourishing under the ma nagement of the Iteeleys, who are exerting themselves to the utmost to deserve that patronage which they have since the opening of the theatre enjoyed. A new original drama, entitled The Three Wives of Madrid, founded on a tale in Roscoe's Spanish No velists, was produced here last evening with the most complete success. The three wives are—Laura (Miss Fairbrother), wife to Luca Moreno (Mr. F. Mat thews), a miserly money scrivener ; Beatrice (Miss Woolgar), wife to Geloso (Mr. Emery), a painter, a rough jealous libertine; and Camilla (Mrs. Keele r y), wife to Diego de Morales (Mr. Keeley), a retired tracer. The three husbands are boon companions, frequenters of taverns, wine-bibbers ; and their wives, at the insti gation of a certain Count Vasco, determine to hoax the husbands, with a view of curing them of their propensities—a diamond, which had been found in the public garden of Madrid, on the Festival of St. Blas, being proposed as the reward of the wife who should be most successful and ingenious in lier hoax. Camilla, having caused Diego to be sent a fool's errand, of a dark and rainy night, to the gate of Fuencarel, a distance of four miles, manages, during his absence, to transform his house to the semblance of a tavern, and, on his return, he finds it filled with guests, who tell him that the place has been an inn for years. Among others who are in the plot is his friend Geloso, who coolly asks him how he came there from the other inn. Poor Diego is completelybewildered, and at last gets turned out and pumped upon for creating a disturbance, and is eventually locked up for the night. The acting of Keeley in this scene was inimitable; he rolled about with open mouth and meaningless gaze, the very personification of stupid bewilderment. Luca Moreno is hoaxed into a belief that he is actually dead ; and Geloso, to whom his wife has ad ministered a sleeping potion, is conveyed to a cell in a monastery, and there becomes firmly persuaded idea of he has been all his life a monk, and that the of his having been a painter and a married man is a mere delusion. At the conclusion the joke is explained, and the ladies are each rewarded with a diamond ring, the owner of the lost ring having been discovered. The piece ends with a Spanish dance by the charac ters. It owes its success mainly to the excellent manner in which the principal characters were sup ported. Mrs. Keeley, as Camilla, was exceedingly espeigle and coquettish. She seemed to enjoy the bewilderment of her poor little husband exceedingly. Miss Woolgar acted Beatrice with a great deal of spirit and tact, and danced exqui sitely ; and Emery, as Geloso, was very amusing. We must not omit to notice Mr. A. Wigan, who as Pablo, the starved serving man of the miser Luca, was exceedingly quaint and humourous. The piece is interspersed with some pretty dancing, and is illus trated by some beautiful scenery. The three wives of Madrid are most amusing personages, and to the question put by Mrs. Keeley at the conclusion " Have we not fairly won the diamond ring ?" we unhesi tatingly answer yes ! FRENCH PLATS.—Madame Albert's benefit, on Wed nesday, was attended by a crowded and fashionable audience, among whom we observed the Marchioness of Ailesbury, Lord and Lady Ernest Bruce, Earl of Wilton, the Countess of Nelson, Baroness Dimsdale, Earl and Countess of Shelburne, Earl and Countess of Morley, Viscount Templetown, Lord. Robert Grosvenor, the Marquis of Worcester, Lady Georgians Codrington, Lord Brougham, Lord Alexander Lennox, Ear] of Scarborough, Count Esterhazy, Sir Henry Mildmay, the Turkish Ambassador, Baron and Baroness de Rothschild, Earl of Belfast, Lady Curteis, Lady and Miss Quentin, Hon. Spencer Cowper, Hon. General Upton ' Mrs. Standish Standish, Mrs. Mountjoy Martvn, and Lady Larpent. THE LYCEUM THEATRE. —Amongst the distin guished personages who have visited the Lyceum Theatre during the present week, we have noticed the Marquis of Clanricarde. Countess of Tankerville, Earl St. Vincent, Lord and Lady Folkestone, Lord Grimstone, Lord Fitzroy So merset, Lady Radnor, Sir Henry Mildmay, Lord Ponsonby, Lord Sefton, Lady Verulam, Captain Cox, Sir John Gyse, Lady Romney, Hon. Fitzroy Stanhope, Lady Lawley, and Mr. and Mrs. Johr Stanley. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The Polka, that wonder ful dance which has so suddenly shot up into the meridian of popularity, dividing the public attention with the most vital questions of state, has at last found its way to this house. The little piece in which the Polka has been introduced at this theatre, danced by Madame Albert and a Mademoiselle Forgeot, is entitled La Prods de la Polka, and is as absurd in its purport as the subject deserves. It represents the court of some provincial town as occupied with the trial of an action, brought by the citizens of the said town against a certain instructor of the Polka, on the plea of its turning the heads of all the female inhabitants, and causing the terror of all respectable fathers of families as to the moral welfare of their charges. The cause is regularly tried before the Lieu tenant-General, and pleaded on the plaintiff's side by an old lawyer, whose distaste to the dance arises from his lameness, and on the defendant's by a plump young advocate, who is himself under tuition to acquire the incriminated Polka. After citing various ancient authorities in favour of dancing generally, he calls upon the court not to decide until they have themselves seen the Polka. The request is granted, and forthwith two ladies in full Polka costume, armed with brass heels, enter the court, one of whom, to the astonish ment of the judge, he finds to be his wife. The Polka is danced in the open arena, and its fascination is so powerful that ere long the whole court in wig and gown are seen jigging to the measure. This, of course, decides the affair, and the curtain descends on the triumph of the Polka over the moral prejudices of bourgeois and peres de famille. It is needless to say that a vociferous encore was the result, and it was accompanied by the projection of one or two bouquets. ADELAIDE GALLERY.—Dr. Jones, the manager of this institution, took a benefit on Wednesday. What kind of attendance he had in the morning we know not, but in the evening the gallery was crowded to excess. There was then a variety of exhibitions—for those who could get at them. The concert seemed to have great attractions, and the exer tions of the vocalists were much applauded. In the course of the evening Dr. Jones delivered an address (explanatory of his services during the two years of his management), which was attentively listened to, and warmlytomplimented. Between the acts of the concert some clever performances on the musical glasses by a Mr. Smith, of Edinburgh, attracted much notice. EXETER HALL.—The • Oratoria of " Deborah" is announced for performance on . the 26th (this evening). It will be recollected that this work was performed for the first and only time by the Sacred Harmonic Society last year, and that its not being repeated was the source of very great regret. SHAIESPEARIAN READIRrGS.—We understand that Mr. Charles Kemble will give a series of six readings from Shakepeare during the ensuing month. They will comprise selections from Cymbeline Much Ado About Nothing, As Y ou Like It, Macbeth, the Merchant of Venice, and Romeo and Juliet. Her Majesty, her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and several distinguished members of the nobility have expressed their high approbation of the forthcoming entertainments. The readings will take place at Willis's Rooms. LATE HOURS or BUSINESS.—Last evening, a numerous meeting of booksellers' assistants was held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, Mr. Ives, of the firm of Messrs. Swann and Ives, in the chair, to consider the expe diency of petitioningthe employers for an abridgment of the hours of business. The Chairman, the Rev. Mr. Cumming, Messrs. Lawrence, Ottan, and other gentlemen, delivered eloquent addresses, deprecatory of late hours of business, as being equally injurious to the employers and the employed, both in a physical and moral point of view. Mr. King stated, that the booksellers of Liverpool had resolved to close busi ness at seven o'clock, P.M. He mentioned several instances of employers being so engaged in business that they were unable to discharge their duties as heads of families ; in conclusion, he read a petition to the master booksellers of London, praying of them to shorten the hours of business, in order that their assistants may be enabled to improve their physical, moral, and intellectual condition. The petition was ado_pted, DEATH OF THE HOT. HUGH LINDSA.T.—At his luinse in Berkeley-square, on the morning of the 23d inst., aged seventy-nine, flie Hon. Hugh Lindsay , brother to the late and uncle to the present Earl of Palcarres. He served in early life in the Royal Navy, and was present in several actions under Lord Rodney and Lord St. Vincent, and among others that of the Ist of June.

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 to exer cise that inestimable virtue of patience a little longer, and not to dispose of their property at the prices then quoted ; since which, the Buenos Ayres have risen 15 per cent., and the Venezuela portion of the Colom bian debt is at 40, paying the dividends regularly. From undoubted information which I have recently received, I now seriously , caution the holders of these bonds not to part with the remaining portion of their Colombian at the Venezuelan paltry quotation of 15 per cent. ; for, if the part, consisting of 28i per cent., of the original debt be worth 40, and the arrears of coupons 12 per cent., surely the remnants, consisting of 50 per cent.,- New Granada's portion, and 21i per cent., the Equatorian portion, with the arrears of dividend since 1826, must be very consi derably under their value at 15 ! The almost cer• tainty of the arrangements being complete with these States and the Committee of South American bond holders within a very short period, renders this quo tation of 15, one of those Stock Exchange anomalies which so frequently occur in marking prices in that house. The dividends on Buenos Ayres Stock will probably be resumed upon the termination of the war, by the sur render of Monte Video; the news of which event may be expected 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, 1 05 per cent. arrears of couPons, which w ill prpbably be consolidated into a deferred stock, similar to the Chilian ; therefore, a purchaser of Buenos Ayres at 36 (at which price all arrears of dividends are in aleded), stands a fair chance of realising the present va l u e of Chilian, upon his investment, within the next twelve ra pnths.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, ACONSTANT READER AND SUBSCRIBER.

The report forwarded from the Heath contained all the particulars that a very insignificant day's sport was worthy of ; it also gave an intimation of the great im provement of Bay Momus in the Derby betting, and of the advance of Lancet to 40 to 1. The evening betting made nu alteration in the odds against the first, but gave the other another lift. Orlando was also in force, the offers against him, after several bets at 25 to 1, having dropped five points. Offers to take sto 2 about Ratan, and 9 to 2 about the Ugly Buck, but no business done. 1,000 to 20 was taken about Loadstone, and 1,000 to 15, twelve times, at least, about Lord G. Bentinck's lot.

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 the 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, April 24, 1844. EDINBURGH TOWN COUNCIL. FRIDAY, APRIL 23. PRESENT TO THE CITY FROM LORD BROUG HAM. The LORD PROVOST intimated that Lord Brougham had been pleased to present the corporation with twenty eight large volumes, containing the Acts of the Scottish Parliament, from 1424 to 1707, the Statutes of the Realm, and the Public Records, published by the Record Commissioners. (The hooks were lying on the Council table. His Lordship then proposed that the thanks of the Council should be tendered to Lord Brougham for his valuable present. He knew that LoM Brougham always entertained an affectionate remembrance of his native city, and was prepared to do what he could to promote its prosperity, and to be of service to, its in habitants. It was an unhappy condition of human greatness, that let a man spend a long life in conferring benefits on the public, should he offend in one point, those who take offence will consider him guilty of the whole law, and will not only forget all his previous ser vices, but the very number and greatness of them will add to the bitterness of their indignation. It would be very unbecomi n g i n hi m, and very inappropr i ate on the present occasion, t o enter on d i spute d quest i ons, b u t surely he mi g h t say proud of Lord B roug h am as one of her most d i st i nguishe d Edinburgh was justified in feeling sons and a burgess of the city, especially when they re, called to mind the great service he had rendered his eountry, as the fearless and eloquent defender of the oppressed, whether in the humble condition of a printer or an exalted princess ; he had bean in the for& most ranks of reform, IN hether in the law or general policy—he had been one of the most distinguished advo cates for the abolition of slavery, and it was in no small degree owing to him that the chains of slavery had been for ever broken in the British settlements. It was un necessary for him to refer to the great services which his Lordship had rendered to science and literature, and the general education of the people—he might, however, re mind them of what they had probably forgotten, that it was to Lord Brougham they were in a great measure indebted for their seat at that Board, for it was he who took charge of the measure of Burgh Reforna in the House of Lords, and by his energy and talent's carried it safely through.—(Hear,' hear.) Const sidering this present as an evidence of Lord Brougham's kind recollections of his native city, and his desire to advance its prosperity and the interests of its inhabitants;, the Lord Provost moved that the thanks of the Council be tendered to Lord Brougham for his valuable present, not more for its intrinsic worth than for the kind feel- , ings which it implied.—(Hear, hear.) Bailie URQUHART seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ROWLAND MILL, The Council, on the motion of Mr. RUSSELL, remitted to the Lord Provost's Committee, t o cons id er the pro priety of taking steps for convenin g a public meeting of the inhabitants in aid o f the p ro p ose d testimonial to Mr. Rowland Hill, the author of the penny post age scheme. TEE SEASON AND THE Cuors.—The present sea son has hitherto been one of the finest that we have had for several years for promoting the growth of thosecrops which are already sown, and enabling the farmers to prepare the land for those which remain to be sown. In all the counties of . England, between Liverpool and Southampton, as well as in Normandy and , the other northern provinces of France, in Belgium, in Rhenish Prussia, and in Germany as far as Frankfort, the wheat crops this year are mast. promising. We do not remember to have seen above half-a-dozen bad fields of 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 in Flanders, as well as in the , rich district of Mayence and Frankfort, the clovers are what rapeat m a p y l a be nt unusually fine this year, and it is a remarkable proof of h was at lbeyasrt a ich y c a e rd ltivation that the Colza, o high, and in full bloom, in Easter week, between Marlines 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 otheterops were as forward as they wore ever known to be nt 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. The 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 t There has Eeyer been a 411 , r season for getting Om into the ground, and the showers of the last few days will cause them to germinate rapidly, and thus save them from the diseases to which they are subject in dry springs.—Liverpootrimm - LITERATURE. THE FORESTER'S DAUGHTER. 3 V. Newby, London, 1344. This is a story of the Reformation, by the author of a tale entitled the " Thirst for Gold," which we remember reading a year or two since with no ordinary interest. The same peculiarities which characterised that entertaining fiction characterise the one before us—namely, a skilful mode of conducting the plot, great variety of incident—which, however, is not always sufficiently probable—spirit, if not abso lute consistency, of portraiture, and powers of terse, vigorous description of no ordinary merit. The "Forester's Daughter " .refers to that exalting period in history, when the doctrines of Luther had alarmed the Catholic ChurCh, and made it doubly severe in its punishments of all open violations of its ordinances. One of the most effective passages• in the story is the account of the attempt at escape of a nun who has become a secret convert to the reformed doctrines, from her convent on the banks of the Rhine, in com pany with a young military man, by name Herman. The whole incident of this escape is very dexterously and forcibly wrought up. CYCLOP.EDIA OF ENGLISH LITERATURE Chambers, Edinburgh, 1844. In the present part, which is the twenty-sixth, of this cheap miscellany, we find brief biographical sketches of some of the more distinguished poets who have flourished during the last half century ' • among them are the names of Byron, Keates, Shelley, Pollok, Clare, Heinans, and Herbert Knowles, the notices of whom are penned in a candid and discri minating spirit. To the memoir of each poet the editor has attached one or more extracts from his works, and these, generally speaking, are well selected. The part is embellished with numerous engravings ; but the majority of the portraits are sad failures, as regards likenesses, especially those of Leigh Hunt and the late James Smith, which bear no closer resemblance to the originals than a Stilton cheese bears to a grasshopper. PHILLIP VON ARTEVELDE. Moxon, London, 1844. We have here a republication, in one half-crown duodecimo volume, of Mr. Taylor's drama of " Phillip Von Artevelde," which was no sooner published, about five years since, than it obtained instant popularity. It is a noble play, full of poetic imagery, and sus tained, elevated thought, but adapted exclusively for the closet, being wholly deficient in that bustling and continuous action so necessary to ensure success on the stage. We regret to see that the author has re tained in his preface all those passages which—as we remarked at the time—bore with unjust severity on Lord Byron, who, with all his faults of style and sentiment, wis a genuine poet, if ever man was. LEIGH HUNT'S POEMS. Moxon, London, 1844. In this cheap and neat edition we have the whole of Mr. Leigh Hunt's poetical works, carefully re vised, as he tells us in his preface, and weeded of many of those quaint peculiarities of phrase, which years ago subjected him to the ridicule of the caustic wags of Blackwood. On running our eye hastily over " Rimini"—Mr. Hunt's most elaborate, but by no means his most successful work—we find that the alterations are unusually numerous; and we do not think that he has at all improved, by his emendations, his opening description, which was deservedly ad mired at the time, of an Italian spring morning. THE MILITARY ANNUAL FOR 1844. alburn. This work is intended to supply a deficiency in our " annual" literature, which furnishes no work re cording the gallant deeds of the English army, both in present and past times, though the materials for such a book are both rich and abundant. This is the first volume of what we presume is to be a series ; it has been compiled from an immense mass of autho rities of all kinds and descriptions, and brings toge ther a great number of facts, which would otherwise have to be sought in the voluminous contents of Par liamentary reports, returns, general orders, dis patches, and even the columns of newspapers. The " Soldier's Almanac," which commences the volume, is a valuable table of reference for the chronology of military events, and it is followed by a paper on " Arms and Armies," which is to be continued till the subject has been treated historically from the earliest ages till the present time. This first part gives an account of the wars and weapons of the Jews and Romans, and a sketch of the struggle that was terminated by the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, and with them of the nationality of the Jewish people. The rest of the work is a compila tion from the sources we have named. The work is embellished with fine steel engravings of the Duke of Wellington and the late Lord Hill. SOCIETY FOR THE EMANCIPA TION OF INDUSTRY. On Tuesday evening a numerous meeting of the friends and supporters of this Institution was held at the offices of the Society, in Parliament-street, for the purpose of giving publicity to, and adopting steps to further the objects of the Society. Amongst the gentlemen present were several Members of the House of Commons. Mr. ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE was voted to the chair, and explained the nature of the meeting. The country was detached into various and singular classes, who each professed to have a remedy for the existing evils, but whose professed remedy was fallacious and fan ciful. It was ipt the principles of that society alone that a remedy was to be found, and pamphlets and tracts had been published to explain them. It had, however, been ascertained that explaining them verbally was much more effective, and much more conducive to the interest of the society than by promulgating them through the medium of fracts. It was, therefore, their intention to hold weekly meetings in that place until the public were fully made acquainted with their objects. The princi ples they advocated were not new ; on the contrary, they were as old as Aristotle, Plato, and had been en tertained by all learned men from their day down to the present time. They merely assembled together to ex plain that the principles held in the time of Aristotle were worthy of every attention now. Previous to the year 1819 twenty millions were advanced annually towards reducing the National Debt, but since then not a single farthing had been paid. It was clear, then, the present monetary system of the country and standard value of gold was wrong, and they were determined to agitate until they obtained some reform, or were convinced their views were erroneous. Mr. LA3IIE MURRAY followed with a series of re marks upon the injurious operation of the present system of currency, and laid down the principles of the Society as applicable to the circumstances of the country. He elucidated, with considerable power, the advantages that would accrue from a liberation of gold from the fixed rate of 31. 17s. 100. per ounee, and the allowance of a paper circulation, convertible at the market or commer cial price of that commodity. Mr. ATTWOOD, of Birmingham, advocated at some length the revival of the Bank of Restriction. He never heard of any objection being raised to it when in exist ence ; certainly it never was petitioned against by the peopl, while, to his certain knowledge, 360 petitions were, in 1819, presented to the House of Commons against the then proposed change. It was the means of carrying the country through a long and tedious war, and he had no hesitation in expressing his firm convic tion that, unless the Bank Restriction Act were again revived, to some extent, a revolution would ultimately be the fate of this country. Mr. Muntz, M.P., and several other gentlemen, also addressed the meeting at some length, advocating a free trade in gold, and an entire Change in the monetary system ; and thanks having been accorded to the Chair man, the meeting was adjourned till this day week. We learn that the scholars of the Duke of York's School intend visiting General Tom Thumb, at the Egyptian Hall this morning, at eleven oclock, accompanied by their band. GRASS PARKS.—The grass parks belonging to the Earl of Lauderdale, around Dunbar House, were let for the season, at the high rate of five to six pounds per acre. —Scotch Paper. TIIE HAGUE, APRIL 22.—Their Majesties the King and Queen, and the other members of the Royal Family, re turned to the Hague this morning by a special train from Amsterdam. They left -Amsterdam about tea o'clock, and the journey was performed in one hour and 35 minutes. _ _ A labourer named Trevis was killed on Thursday morning, at Throop, near Christchurch, by the sudden falling of a mud wall, which deceased and another man were engaged in removing, and imprudently neglected to prop up whilst picking away the foundation. When taken out he was quite dead. Our military friends have now got their new " military cap,' and of course we civilian lookers-on must give a diffident opinion on such matters. We hope they will not be distressed when we express our opinion that the " cap fits" them extremely well. Its appear ance is rather, foreign, but so was that of the curvilinear " chako" at first, which was a Prussian importation. The "poke" is a far more sensible thing than the up and-down affair, which gave no shade or comfort, how ever knowing might be its, look. The leather chin-strap is bad, but then that was used latterly with the former chako; it has an especially shabby appearance, whereas the lately introduced brass curb chain, fixed on one side and hooked on to the other—looked both serviceable and elegant. Wliy•discontinue it ?

COURT OF CHAACERk, April 24. FEARENSIDE V. DERIIAM-THOMPSON V. DERHA.M. IN RE DERIIAM.-JUDGMENT. The Loan CHANCELLOR—There does not appear to be much controversy as to the facts in this case. The question is as to the rights of the respective parties. In the year 1829 William Hinde formed this partnership with Walter Alan Hinde, James Derham, and Robert Derham. The whole of the stock in trade, machinery, and what was necessary for 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 far 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 value 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 Made 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 5-20ths ; 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 son should be purchased by the surviving partners, and they should give for the purpose of securing that sum to the repre 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 1,5001. 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 parties, what would have been the effect of the partner ship articles, supposing he had appointed a son to sue • ceed 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 left in the concern, and the surviving partners would be required to execute a mortgage upon the lease hold and freehold property for the amount of the differ ence between the capital in the concern and the sum 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 was to be the measure of his interest, that at that time the capital in the concern amounted altogether to 51,000/., and of that 51,000/., 41,0001. and upwards was the share of the capital belonging to Mr. William Ilinde ; therefore, if the partnership had been dissolved by his death, shortly after that stock-taking, the sur viving partners keeping 30,0001. in the concern, as the capital of the incoming partner, the son of William Ilinde, they must have given security for the difference between the 30,0001. and the 41,000/., 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 the interests of the respective partners. It was agreed that, from that time, Mr. William Hinde should be interested to theextent only of five-twentieths, and that the other fifteen-twentieths should be divided between the other partners in the shares mentioned in the memorandum, to which I have referred, and it is said that, in consequence of that alteration, the arrange ment with respect to the mortgage was at an end. Ido not think that that is the construction of the partnership articles or the meaning 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 ho 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 partnership precisely the same sum that he would 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 concern in the partnership articles . —they speak of his interest in the concern. His interest and share in the stock in trade mid in the machinery, but it is called his capital. His said capital 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 be paid until five or six years—l forget which—till five or six years after the death of William Hiude. 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 respec tive partners is also ascertained at the stock-takings. It is his capital that is to be paid out—it is the balance of capital for which security is to be given. I conceive, therefore, that notwithstanding the alteration in the pro portions in which the partners were 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, l i the first payment to be made six years after the death of William Hinde ; I consider, therefore, the mortgage se curity was required after the alteration which had taken place with respect to the shares of profit and loss by that memorandum of February, 1832, precisely as before. And, therefore, as far as relates to the parties in this transaction, namely, the representatives of William Hinde and the partnership, I think they were bound to have given security for the difference between the capital and the 30,0001. that was to be continued in the concern, provided William Hinde 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 alteration—what change was effected by the provisions contained in the will. It is quite clear that he intended to execute the partnership articles in the will. lie 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 he does not execute the partnership articles, as it appears to me, strictly. The provision was that he should have the power 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 provision 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 afterwards. This is not a strict execution of the partnership articles. Whether or not the surviving part 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 in the will, thus acted upon by the surviv 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 30,0001, if the would have been continued in the partnership, i ip, f strictly provision in the partnership articles had been a ex re ec s u ti te li d , byl William to h notwithstandinginiam Hinde. these I c n o I n t s e i r. d a e t r i 0 , n t e r h e fore, are they they i a t r i e e s s , t a i 1 , 1 n between e s a t m h e e n si t u n a n t d i o n the w t e h s ta r e t e s p e o c f t 'Linde, 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 30,000/., 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 dispo sition of things, hetween the partnershtiiihpueaamlnedaistehtielodledestwaanatdes m Hinde. ortg gTehseecensrtiat security e upon \ I V entitled l d iat p om roperty to the extent of the differencek between which, I think, his capital and the 30,0001., execu tors were authorised to continne in the ern; trrhheathelngso, the next question for consideration is, as . to the claim in nf theth e t Lancaster ime nf Williaman Lancaster bank advanced, Hindu, e and almost immediately after the partnerushoinp the formed, began to advance large c su o in nt s in o u f e ra d o u n p ey to the e deposit of securities, and this time of William Hinde's death ; and at the period of William Hinde's death, there was a debt of more than 30.0004 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 had a claim upon him and against his estate. When paid off therefore, if paid off, then 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 partnere 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 •• ;_ en, as it had before gone on, between the bank and the ' ll serviving partners—that is, between the bank and the new firm, not between the bank and the surviving part &era, 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/. more than the balance due at William Hiride's death• is admitted to have been paid by the new firm to the hank: The ultimate balance at the time of th e b an k ruptcy, I think, against the partn e rshipaiis 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'aeas due by Wil- • ham 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 between the parties immediately after the death of William Hinde, and renewed and re peated at subsequent periods so as to put an end to•itll 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 Ilincle'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 Dolphinholme, 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 die, 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 has 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, 6,0001. 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 goons and chattles, the fix tures for the purpose of trade, and therefore goods and chattels 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 for 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 stipulation 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 now 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 Made is entitled to the mortgage security for 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. BETIIELL—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 pro• 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 Ilinde, has been paid off by the new partnership, the new partnership will bo 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 Ilinde 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 Ilinde was in the concern ; that is one of the items in the account. The partnership take that to themselves. It is settled between William llinde's estate and theopartnership, if you will consider that ; if you will look at the stock, and see the manner in which the account was settled, you will find that is one cf the items in the account ; and it is taking that into account the capital of William Ilinde is reduced to 41,0001 Mr. BETITELL—Yes ; we shall have something, pro. bably, to submit to your Lordship. ___. _ ._. _ _ The LORD CHANCELLOR.—If there is any point I have omitted—there are so many points—l have decided the main points, I believe. Mr. BETHELL—YourfLordship has decided every thing necessary to make these declarations, which will govern the other directions which follow there-under. The only thing would be as to the ascertaining the capital of William Hinde. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I think, with respect to the point you have made now, it occurred to me in the course of considering the question ; but the moment I turned to the manner in which the capital is to be ascer tained, according to the stock-taking, I found that every item in the account, namely, the debt due to the Lan caster Bank, was included; therefore, in fact, it has been paid and settled between the estate and the partnership. Mr. TINNEY—I dare say your Lordship recollects that part of our case was that the 11,0001., if due, has been actually paid off. The LORD CHANCELLOR—WheII I say 11,000/. — Mr. Tr.:NEY—Whatever the sum was, it is a matter of account, because we say, in point of fact, that the estate has had much more. That will lead to accounts and inquiries in the decree ; there will be a good m any questions as to that, and I su pp ose y our Lordship wo uld probably what you ar e minutes.odshir Mr. BETHELL—We ne ed not trouble youF t Lordshi p about the accounts. There will be, of necessi ty, an ac count. We have paid to the estate large sums of money since. The LORD CHANCELLOR--There was so much re u vill find the ques tion ference as to the stock•taking. r.

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 Riede has been paid off, and I have no doubt about it, then your mort gage comes first. Mr. RussELL—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 viving 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 elect to ;eke the security against the joint estate or againit "the slim rate estate. Mr. BETHELL—That 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 . estateof William Hinde became a partner to the extent of thirty thousand pounds. The LORD CHANCELLOR—No; I consider it precisely as if William Mode had directed his executors to On ploy thirty thousand pounds in the concern. That, 'of course, would not make his general estate liable. Mr. BETHELL—No, my Lord, I appreciated, I rally understood that ; but whether your Lordship considered the application to employ the 30,00014 which would he the limit of the liability, was for the benefit id his estate generally or for the benefit of the son alOnet , Whether all the children could be entitled to participate in the be nefit of the 30,0001.? The LORD CHANCELLOR—OnIy the SOH in the first place, and those who partake according to the discretion of the widow; and after her death according to the di..
