Thai to Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTTON, the 4 Wstiot Of international copyright has again been liroughiJiunder discussion. During his Parliamentary career ii 'Will he rememlkred how great were the ezeOions made in behalf of authors by one of the most illustrious among the living members of the literary profession in the United Kingdom. Although removed by circumstances from his position in the souse of Commons, the distinguished writer here alluded to, bas employed his many rare capacities THE SUN, LONDON, both for the adornment of the literary annals oc his ege, and for true acWrietinent of the interests of those less successful aspirants for fame, whom it appears to be his pride to acknowledge as his brethren, and his ambition to befriend as his fellow-labourers. The indomitable energy displayed by him in the development of his own splendid and comprehensive abilities, has been only equalled by his perseverance in furthering the cause of authorcraft, by his generosity in maintain ing the rights of his class—a class which he rather boasts of belonging to, than is ashamed of recog nizing —and, above all, by that elevated magnanimity which has impelled him to advocate the organization of a system of international copyright in spite of all the miserable insinuations which he must have fore seen might be directed against him by the more evilly disposed among the Pococurantes ofhis genera tion. Hence it was that on Tuesday afternoon we listened, not without the warmest emotions of pride as well as of pleasure—pride at a courage which alto gether despised the sinister inuendoes of calumny — pleasure at an announcement which illustrated in a vivid manner the largeness of his popularity—to that candid avowal of Sir BULWER LYTTON to the effect, that bad such a law as the one here required been formally established, when first he began to write, he himself would have been richer at this day by no less an amount than 60,0001. I The fact was instanced, remember, merely by way of showing the importance of carrying out the reform here demanded if we would benefit literature itself by benefiting its, speaking, ill-cared - for cultivators. True, that the case of Sir BULWER LYTTON is gnoneoneedorosfullabYt' singularly exceptional character, being that of a writer who has ascended to the very topmost round of the ladder of celebrity, an intellectual athlete who has been not merely a competitor, but a victor in nearly all the arenas or departments of literature. Poetry of the satiric, the idyllic, and the lyrical character he has crowned by his national epic of "King Arthur," a work which in many respects must be regarded as his masterpiece. Romance he has applied to the resuscitation of life in the bones of antiquity as in his " Last Days of Pompeii," to the delineation of society in the mediaeval epoch as in his beautiful narrative of " Harold," and to the portraiture of mo dern times in its revolutionary aspect as in " Za noni," in its artificial aspect as in " Pelham," in its criminal aspect as in " Lucretia," and last, and " best beautiful" of all, in its home or domestic aspect, as iu his exquisite story of the " Caxtons." An essayist he has proved himself to be of no indifferent order by his charming melange " The Student." A traveller more than usually observant he appears be fore us throughout every chapter of his " Pilgrims of the Rnine." An annalist of distinguished veracity, as may be seen by reference to his " History of Athens." A political writer of considerable power, as was sufficiently demonstrated by his "England and the English," a creator of minor and perhaps more graceful fictions than those implied under the generic title of The Nuvel, such, fur example, as "Lida," or as "Falkland," Sir BULWER LYTTON has at the same time secured to himself a prominent position as the most popular and successful dramatist of his age, whether in the romantic drama, as in the " Lady of Lyons," in the comic drama, as in "Money," or in the tragic drama, as in "Richelieu." Against a reputation of this Protean character it would be idle to suppose that we could find many emulators advancing, and frivolous, consequently, to imagine that his case should be regarded as otherwise than exceptional. Nevertheless, while the proceeds of their literary industry might be less in amount than those obtained by the energetic genius of Sir BULWER LYTTON, they cannot be regarded by any means as less to them in proportion. On the con trary, we might in most instances designate them as larger and of more serious consideration. Another argument, put forward with equal emphasis by Sir BULWER LYTTON, was one calculated to " tell" *rather powerfully on the citizens of the United States, seeing that it threatens them with the extinction of their rising but already nearly exhausted literature. Referring to Belgium as a testimony of the pernicious influence of any country flourishing upon the piratical reprinting of the writings of a neigh bour, he insisted that America was even now giving evidence of the same lamentable decline in this phase of her intellect. " Their COOPER and their IRVING, their JONATHAN EDWARDS and their CHANNING were children of a past genera tion," said Sir BULWER LYTTON, at this portion of his harangue, " and not one," he added, "is rising in their stead" worthy of being regarded as their successor. From this we pre sume that the English author scarcely regards as his contemporaries the historical antiquary PRESCOTT, the annalist BANCROFT, the essayist gMERsoN, or the poet LONGFELLOW. The omission of such names appeared to us somewhat of an oversight. Yet, even with them, it must be allowed that the United States has, of late years, given but indif ferent tokens of vigour in reference to the de velopment of any thing like a national or indi genous literature. Nor can this be in any way surpris ing, seeing that whereas the publishers of New York would have to pay BRYANT for a new poem, they wound have to pay nothing to TENNYSON, while they would be compelled to hand over a sum of money to N. P. \\Turas for a new satirical fiction, they would be required to hand over not one farthing for a much better work of the same kind by W. M. THACKERAY, and while they would be reduced to the necessity of remunerating W. H. PRESCOTT for a new volume of history, they would be expected to do nothing of the kind in return for a similar book by T. B. MacAulay - . These are home truths which it would be welt for America to con seriously and betimes. By advancing such " stubborn facts" as these Sir BULWER LYTTON is most effectually ad vancing the cause of au international law of copy right. t 4 ff••ri the Ana ". tl,O otto-r, • •, substitute might, if they pleased, obtain pure coffee, a matter of considerable difficulty under the existing system. _ _ But the question cannot be disposed of even on these grounds. There are other and even more power ful elements that must enter into the calculation. It has been proved that the adulteration is not re stricted to mere chicory, but that the most horrible abominations—horse beans and lupins, dog biscuits, mahogany shavings, tan, and other even more objec tionable matters are mixed with the article, and "strongly recommended for family use." There can be no doubt that these things are dele terious, but Sir CHARLES WOOD contents himself with saying " that he believes it is not a general practice," and that "he found some persons who dealt in coffee were naturally indignant at the imputation they conceived to be cast upon their honesty by its being said that other things than chicory were mixed with coffee." Now, on the first point, we must say that, if it can be shown that the system is at all recognised, if even a small proportion of the dealers are guilty of such gross misconduct, it is quite sufficient to justify stringent regulations being adopted and enforced. Respectable chemists would not recklessly dispose of arsenic or other deadly poisons to every applicant. The persons who did so were few in number, and yet it was found necessary to introduce a new measure for regulating the sale, although the parties acting indiscreetly amounted to but a fraction per cent. of the highly respectable body who were affected , by the enactments. The question is not whether it is " a general practice," but whether any instance could be adduced of such acts ; and, un fortunately, the evidence on that point is too conclu- sive to admit of any doubt or difficulty. The extreme sensitiveness of the parties who are so " naturally indignant" at the imputation does not by any means alter the nature of the question. If the cap did not fit in some degree they would not be quite so ready to assume it. Even on the only point which Sir CHARLES WOOD considers worthy of notice, the " protection of the revenue," vie are ready to join issue with him. The diminished consumption of duty•paying coffee, while all other beverages of a similar description, tea, cocoa, &c., are increasing in proportion to the population and the improved circumstances of the working classes, sufficiently prove the injury to the revenue arising from the practice. It is sufficient to say that an untaxed article is substituted for one paying a heavy duty to show that there must be an injury to the revenue unless the consumption of the mixed article should be so greatly increased (by reason of the admixture) as to occasion a greater consumption of the pure berry than would be ob 'alned if it were sold without the adulteration. On this point every particle of evidence is against Sir CHARLES WOOD, and proves -hat the revenue is vefy seriously injured by the practice. . . There might be some weight attachable to the ar gument respecting the inconvenience of any Excise interference; but when it is known that such inter ference is tolerated with respect to tea, tobacco, pepper, &c., &c., it is too absurd to adduce it as a reason why the coffee dealers should be allowed an exemption not afforded to any other persons subject to the Excise laws, and to which they themselves are subjected in other matters in which they deal. In this and in other matters we must trust to the voice of public opinion to enforce the retirement of Sir CHARLES WooD, and to obtain for him a successor who will pay some attention to the wishes and feel ings of the community. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic dispatches with reference to the PRESIDENT'S journey : " TOURS, TUESDAY, HALT PAST ONE P.N. " The inauguration train arrived here at a quarter past twelve. The President of the Republic was received with enthusiasm by the populution, the National Guard, and the garrison." "POITIERS, HALF-PAST FITE, P.M. "The train arrived here at half-past three. An im mense crowd, assembled at the station, saluted the Pre sident with its acclamations. After the benediction of the locomotives, the President of the Republic paFsed through the town on his way to the Prefecture. De putations from six departments and the inhabitants of the neighbouring country show the same anxiety as the inhabitants of Poithrs to give a worthy reception to the head of the Executive power." A grand fête was given by the Mayor to the PRE SIDENT of the Republic, at which the Mayor proposed the PRESIDENT'S health, prefacing it by the following speech :- 6' Monsieur le President,—Permit me, in the name of the city of Poitiers, to thank you for having by your presence added to the solemnity of our inaugurating tites; with the railway there opens for us a new era of importance and of activity; we now touch the gates of Paris and of Bordeaux. This is valuable conquest for our commerce and our manufactures, the happy augury of what we may expect from our being brought closer to the two great centres of population. We, on this day, owe to it the advantage of having amongst us our illustrious visitors and the power, in presence of a powerful and sympathetic auditory, to request the establishment of the faculty of sciences which has been so lung promised to us, and to solicit the support of the Government to give to our new lines of communica. doss all the developments which they call tor. On this happy occasion, however, we must not be egotists, and when on all sides we see crowds hasten within our walls, we teal the necessity of turning our ideas towards our dear coun try. Long enough rent asunder by violent shocks France will have no more impious and tratri cidal struggles; she recognise's no other arbitrator but legality, nu other contest between her children but that wnich ttikes place in the electoral arena. Let na have confide.nce in the enlightened patriotism of our fellow citizens; be persuaded that on the great day of voting the nation will know how to dictate iu a pacific, but powerful and irresistible wine, the supr( me decree before which all Frenchmen will bow with respect. Then will have ceased much of our uneasiness; a feeling of security will revive,_ republican institutions w ill bo on become strengthened, and the numerous ameliorations proposed by so many enlightened minds will be realised. On those ameliorations, you, in particular, Monsieur le President, have fixed your serious and deep attention, happy thus to prove that you well comprehend the duties of the high mission which has been confided to yon, and the wants of the period in which we live." "The great chicory question" has been disposed of for the present year. Sir CHARLES WOOD has flung the mantle of his protection over those who indulge in an innocent predilection for adulterating a good and wholesome article, subject to a heavy import duty, with another, of an inferior and cheaper de scription, and thus committing a gross fraud on the purchaser by giving him something very different from that for which he had contracted, and which he supposed he was about to receive. We had sup posed that the Government would never directly sanc tion a fraud that could be regarded as neither more nor less than receiving money under false pre tences. Sir CHARLES WOOD has, however, com pletely disabused our minds of this erroneous impres sion, and proved that so far as he is concerned the amount of revenue to be obtained is the only object deemed worthy of consideration—the Alpha and Omega of his solicitude. It is true that he joined another matter which might justify Government in terference, viz., " if the article mixed were delete rious ;" but that he slurred over so rapidly as to show that was quite a secondary question in his opinion. Now, without in any degree entering into the question as to the salubrity of chicory as an article of daily consumption—a point, however, on which we believe there is a great difference of opinion amongst persons capable of arriving at a sound conclusion— we should say, that it should, at least, be optional with the consumer whether he should be allowed to drink the pure coffee or the " Wood admixture." Tiktes will differ as well as doctors, and constitutions are not so exactly similar that what will agree with one perso n may not be injurious to another. Why, then, we ask, might not the coffee and chicory be sold under their proper names? Those persons who ac cording to the re entations made to the Right and even • Honourable Baronet referred the " mixed etude, plain chicory to improve the beverage, might gratify their tastes to any extent that might be agreeable got athi bional quantities of ble without let or e agreea hindrance. Tbey might even, if they thought proper, : take plain chicory being without it s b ‘' adulterated' or spoiled by the addition of an iu quantity of coffee. Th e y cou l d suit tiafiniteBicaal rate without bein g compelled tOr tunny at a cheaper Pay tastes of those wh o s till clung with d sperate for the depraved to the " Indian berry," v.r.d liked th e n tenacity they could not obtain the reality. They, a then,ttle, allhough riot in any degree be damnifi e d b y the more would ent enforcement of the Excise regul a ti ons , that evert.iyiigltti should be sold under its tight denomination that " coffee" should be called "coffee," and "c hi cory" This toast was drunk with loud applause, after which the PRESIDENT of the Republic replied as follows Monsieur le Maire,—Be my interpreter with your fellow-citizens, and to thank them for the reception, so kind and so cordial, which they have given me. Like you, I look to the future fate of the country without ap prehension, for its safety will always proceed from the will of the people freely expressed, and religiously ac cepted.—(Applause.) And, therefore, I anxiously wish for the solemn moment when the powerful voice of the nation will boar down all kinds of opposition, and place in accord all rivalitiea. For it is most afflicting to be hold revolutions convulse society, heap up ruin on ruin, and yet leave still upstanding the same passions, the same exigencies, and the same elements of disturbance. When one traverses France, and beholds the varied riches of her soil, the marvellous products of her in dustry; when one admires her rivers, roads, canals, and railways—her ports bathed by two great seas—one is obliged to ask to what degree of prosperity she would not attain if a durable tranquillity would permit her inhabitants to co-operate together, with all their means, for the general good, in place of yielding to intestine ' dissensions.—(Applause.) When, under another point of view, one reflects on that territorial unity which has been bequeathed to us by the persevering efforts of the monarchy, to that political, judicial, administrative, and commercial unity which has been given to us by revo lutions; when one contemplates those populations, so intelligent and laborious, animated as they almost all are by the same belief, and speaking the same lan guage—that clergy so venerable, inculcating morality nod virtue—that magistracy so renowned for impar tiality, which causes jastice to be respected—that army so valiant and well-disciplined, which is only ac quainted with honour and duty—(Bravo, bravo) — in flue, when one learns to appreciate that crowd of eminent men capable of guiding the Government, and to adorn assemblies as well as the sciences and the arts—when all this is borne in mind, one seeks with anxiety what the causes can be which prevent this ration, already so great, Irom becoming still greater, and one is astonished that a society which contains so many elements of power and prosperity c.n expose itself so frequently to seek its own ruin.—(Loud applause.) Can it then be true, as the Emperor has huid, that the old world is ended and that the new one is not yet firmly fixed? Without knowing what it will be, let us do our duty to-day in preparing for it solid tuundatit DA. —(Beer, hear.) I am well pleased to employ Ibis lan guage to you in a province remar ked at all times for its patriotism. Let us not forget that your town was, under Charles VII., the centre of a heroic resistance — that it was fcr fourteen years the reuge of nationality in France when invested.—(Applause.) Let us hope that it will be still one of the first to gtvc the example of devotedness to civilisation and its native land.—(l4 , ud 'awe ) I now drink to 'The prosperity or the town uPP , , D of P4l4lerit. roionged cheers.)"

The German Journal of Frankfort states that it is believed in well-informed political circles that the Germanic Diet will, in accordance with what was resolved on at Dresden, adopt a resolution authorising the different Governments to change such of the mo difications made in their respective constitutions since 1848 as may not be in harmony with the federal compact. Tile officers of the army of Electoral Hesse took oaths on the 28th ult. in the form prescribed by the Elector. The Weser Gazette states that Austria intends to demand of the Grinanic Diet to send a division of Federal troops into Italy. A letter from tiatnburgh announces that on the 28th ult the Austrian troops left the Faubourg St. Paul ; but it is said that they did so, not out of re spect to the remonstrance of the Senate, but from purely military reasons. They took up their quarters in the immediate vicinity of the town. G= EECE. A lettter from Athens of the 17th ult. announces that Madame DE PLUSIOW, mistress of the ceremonies, and General GAaniktwri, Marshal of the Court, both favourites of the QUEEN, had he ,, n removed from the Court.

A letter, which appears in the Paris Constitutionnel, says —: " The difficulties which have arisen between the Go vernment of Constantinople and thst of Cairo are not yet arranged. The most grave questions—those which had given rise to the calumnies in Turkey against Abbas Puha and his Ministers have, it is true, com pletely disappeared in presence of a simple enquiry into facts but the demands of the :Porte as regards the in ternal administration of Egypt still subsist, and the Viceroy, in virtue of the treaties of 1840 and 1841, whilst he protests that he is desirous of adopting for his country the most useful reforms, refuses to consent to the establishment without any previous transition of a Constitution which, although proclaimed twelve years ago, has not yet been put into vigour." CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) VIVIAN V. COCHRA.NE. This case was opened yesterday. It is an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The plain tiff is the rector of St. Peter-le-Poor, London, and the defendant is the public officer of the National Bank of Ireland, who occupy a house in Old Broad-street, in the parish of St. Peter-le-Poor. By the Act regulating the tithes for the city of London (37 Henry VIII., c. 12) 2s. 9d. in the pound is directed to be paid on the rent of each house in lieu of tithes, but in case the rent should be lessened through the payment of a fine, or the lessee should be the occupier of the house, then the 2s. 9d. was to be pay able on the estimated value in the first case, and on the last yearly rent, without fraud or covin, in the other. In the present case the house occupied by the bank had originally been let on a lease for sixty years at the annual rent of 1021. 103., the lessee covenanting to lay out 2,000/. in improving the premises. This was done, and the annual value of the property was now admitted to be 250/. The question raised by the present suit was, whether the 2s. 9d. in the pound was payable in respect of the original rent of 1021. 10s., or for the improved rent of 250/. The Vice-Chancellor held that it was payable on the improved rent, and the defendant now appealed. Mr. R. PALMER proceeded with his reply this morning VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) His HONOUR was occupied this morning with motions which presented no feature of general interest. ROLLS' couR.T.—(THIS DAY) (Before the MASTER of the ROLLS DAVENPORT v. CHARLES woRTII.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The preparations for her Majesty's state visit to this theatre on Saturday next will be of the must magnificent description, Mr. Lumley's habitual go. :d taste affording he best possible guarantee that his homage to his Sovereign, who honours him with permis sion 'o announce her presence, will be /MCI as should, under the circumstances, be offered by the director of such an es tablishment. The evening will be a memorable one, and not one of its least pleasant associaticus will be the kind and cor dial support which Mr. Lumley has so generally received from the subscribers to the theatre. They have evidence i their regard fur him, and their appreciation of his energetic and liberal conduct of the establishment under his control, not only by concurring most cordially in the arrangement which substitutes this night for Saturday as a subscription night, but by re-engaging their boxes for the night of the Royal visit. A State visit has always been regarded as a signal honour and favour to the management of the theatre graced by the Royal presence; and could anything be wanting to complete the gratification of the evening, it would be supplied by the cordial readiness with which the general body of the subscribers have come forward to enhance the value of the Royal boon by manifesting their highpense of the manager's deserts. The long-expected appointment of additional Queen's Counsel at the Equity Bar will, it is understood, take place forthwith. The Learned Gentlemen mentioned as likely to receive the honour on this occasion are Mr. Will cock, Mr. Chandless, Mr. Follett, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Daniel, Mr. Glasse, Mr. Craig, Mr. Headlam, and Mr. Bally. These elevations to the Inner Bar have become necessary in con sequence of the contemplated increase of the sittings before the new Court of Appeal, and the recent addition of Vice- Chancellor Turner to the Equity Bench.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Dr. Bach hoffner, the professor of natural philosophy to this establish ment, has just commenced some highly-interesting and in structive lectures on the forthcoming total eclipse of the sun on the 28th of this month. The Doctor remarked that all who behold this phenomenon must be struck with its awful sublime appearance, and after alluding to the superstition of our ancestors in reference to eclipses, went on to explain in a lucid manner the causes of the difference between total and partial eclipses. He then called attention to the course which the eclipse would take over Europe ; and showed by a map bow it commences la Norway and terminates near the Black Sea, e x pl a i n i ng at t h e same t i me th a t i n Great Britain tlthei his eclipse lecture would exhibitingb e but partial.many very b The beautiful tiful professor illustrated dia grams, and concluded with great applause from a very crowded audience. DEATH OF Tlll4 RIGHT HON. WILLIAM &BRIGHT LASCILLES, M.P.— It is with deep regret we have to record the death of the Right Hon. W. S. Lascelles, M.P., Con troller of the Queen's Household, who died at six o'clock last evening at his residence, at Campden-hill, Kensington. The Right Hon. Gentleman died from an affection of the brain, which from the first symptoms defied all medical skill, and consequently the members of the family have been pre pared for the melancholy termination of his illness. The deceased William Sebright Lascelles was second son of the late, and br .ther of the present t arl of Harewood, and was born the 29th of October, 1793. He married on the 14th of May, 1823, Lady Caroline Howaro, eldest daughter of the late, and sister of the present Earl of Carlisle, by whom he leaves a numerous issue. The Right Hon. Gentleman re presented Wakefield in several Parliaments, and was at the last general election returned for Knaresborough, which seat becomes vacant by his demise. Latterly the Right Hon. Gentleman was a constar t supporter of the present Govern ment, ai.d soon after Lord J..li Russell's advent to office was made ton' roller of her Majesty's Household.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5.000 bales, of which 500 American were taken on speculation. The market was dull; prices were rather in favour of buyers. In Railway Shares only a limited business was done, and at rather lower prices. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 40s. per quarter, and the sales last week were 79,174 quarters. The South Sea Company's meeting took place to-day, when the half-yearly dividend of 14 per cent. was de• clared, and the accounts were agreed to unanimously. After experiencing the bitter fruit; of the law's delay, and the delights of Chancery, the unlucky shareholders in the Madrid arid Valencia Railway are invited to ac quiesce in a compromise of their just claims. Toe fund immediately avail ible it they agree will be only 24,0001., subject to costs and expenses, the original capital having exceeded that sum more than three times. The very terms offered, however, are proof positive against the directors of the company, and their administration of the funds, and to prevent misconception we give theta verbatim : Ist. Mr. Chadwick to pay in cash 3,0001. " 2d. To secure by bond 12 0001., ps.yaolo by instal ments of 3 0001. per annum, with interest; in default of plment the whole to become due. " 33. To give, as collateral security, a second mort gage for the said 12,0001. on properties now mortgaged to an Assurance Company for 32,000/. In default of psymerit of the instalments becoming clue on the bond, the official manazer to have all the rights of the mort gager on the property for the whole balance reinainin;7 unpaid of said 12 0001., and interest from that time, but aot to sell with ut six months' notice. " 4th. Mr Chadwick to settle with Mr. Beatty for his claim fur engineering in Sp4in. " sth. Mr Coadwick to settle with Mr. Rose for his claim for costs as solicitor to the company. "6ch. All shares, ic number 23,600, now in the pos sion of Mr. a,.., to be given up to be caticellA. " 7th. 2dr. Quilter to have access at all reasontib'e times to all cl,cutnefris in Mr. Ruse's possession relating to the affairs of the c urnpany. "Bth. All proceedings against Mr. Chadwick, and any other of the dire ctors, to be stayed, and the payments to be made and secured; to be paid in lull satisfaction of all demands upon theta at any time by the official manager. 9h. The order against Mr. Chadwick, for payment of 2.5,000/. to be dischar,ed, and the entry of it as a judgment to be removed from the registry. "llth. Mr. Waley to pay 4,000/. In cash to the official manager, to be applied in purposes of winding-up, in the same manner as the other assets realigad by the official manager. " 12th. When the whole of the 12,000/. by Mr. Chad wick shall have been paid, the mortgaged property to be re•conveyed to him, di.ch:.rged from all incurebrance created by the second mortgage, and this bond to be de livered up to him. " 13th. This arrangement to be put into formal shape, and then to be approved by the Master and confirmed by the Court. If not approved and confirmed, to be of no effect. " 14th. The directors to give up all shares which they may hold. 15th. 1,0001., part of the 4,0001. advanced by Mr Waley, to be returned to him out of the first moneys to be received from Mr. Chadwick on his securities; the remaining 3,000/. being not subject to any provision for its return. " 16th. In default of the arrangement being carried out, trio shares handed in by the directors to be returned, the moneys advanced to be repaid, and all parties re mitted to their former position. " Mr. Chadwick to satisfy and discharge all other claims and demands made, or to be made, upon the corn pany, accrued prior to the winding up. All parties to bear their own costs occured in the winding up." It is considered that some explanations are required as to the smaller number of b bares now stated to be in the hands of the directors; and, further, that it the Master in Chancery had given his deci , ion two months since, as promised, the shtsreholders would ere this have been in a better position. The dividend on the Dutch Rhenish Shares was 60 cents., or about Is. per share for toe last halt year, the 90 cents named yesterday having been for the first halt year.

It was stated on a former occasion that late on Wednesday night, or early on Thursday morning last, the wounded collegian, with a party of undergraduates, took a stroll down St. Aldatts, and when opposite the resi dence or Mr. Caudwell the freak came into their heads of dislodging some of the smell pieces of ordnance which adorned the exterior. The gate was speedily opened, and the work of disarrangement was about being commenced, when the noise of the proceedings' alarmed Mr. Caudwell, who opened the window and find a yeomanry carbine, which is said to have been charged with'No. 4 shot, at the party of intruders. Yesterday much evidence was gone into, and Mr Ross was described as considerably improving. It was stated that about an hour after the event some of the collet; tins went to the house with a view of speaking to Mr. Caudwell as to his conduct, and, being enraged, br ke en.e of the windows, when Mr. Caudwell again fired the piece, whic'r fortunately did not take effect. At the close of two or three hours' inquiry the Vice-Chancellor adjourned the ease until Friday. The accused considers that the harm and in jury threatened him justified hint in using the gun.
