y t „5,7., 44,74 - T .l° "374 1 'l, ZH J. AND 00MIYIERCJAL INTELLIGENT], CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday _closed quietly, and prices declined fully id: per lb. on all descriptions. The sales were estimated at 2 00 0 bales, 400 of which were taken for specula tion and export. The distress among the commercial community tdailY becoming more painfully demonstrate d. 'letnerou s failures are taking place, which, besides In . Pairing credit and awakening suspiciene respect 'fig even solvent houses, necessarily bring down many Other firms who may be connected wi th them. "hen such houses as Dennistoun, Sandiman, Hoare 4111 Buxton, fail, who is safe ? This is the question naturally-naked) and thusthe general inconvenience increased, because the Bank, private bankers, e nd bill discounters, are more shy than ever in bgranting accommodation. The existing state of thi ngs has not been equalled since 1847, 41 1(1 the results will probably be far more serious th an could have been contemplated even by an yof the m os t ex treme Bears in the neighbour hood of Capel Court. Throughout the United b .fl gdona the 4g pinch" is being severely felt ; every ft ra noli of business has been prejudiced more or less, d the bankin g interest has received severe injury. t i li a PP II 3' the effects of the alarm among Bank de positors are abating. Confidence is nearly restored 'n, Scotl an d , and the sovere i gns w hi c h w ere hurriedly o u toined from London—and in some instances by 'sll, oo ec ial trains— as a protection, are returning, about 1 ' OOO /. haying arrived at the Bank yesterday. In i too, where the farmers and others have taken fri ght, th ere i s now l ess a l arm . Th e run upon the Cork and r ,„,, T iPPerary Banks has almost ceased. Some of the ;'''t sant there is alsolikely to flow back in the course if : f ew days. While this abatement of panic-feeling jbe a source of congratulation, however, the fd e lintile world is being disturbed by the frequent tb 111. es that occur. Although, in many instances, th er e i 5 a prospect of good dividends, the effect of en e disasters is most injurious. Yesterday no -8 8 tha n five firms of importance sought the indul gence of their creditors. These were briefly as fol lows :—Messrs. E. Sieveking and Co., in the S wedish trade, with liabilities estimated at 400 , 000 /. in 600,0001. ; Messrs. Allen, Smith, and Co., con nected with Denmark, engagements large ; both th ese firms were effected by Messrs. Hoare •, 4114 Buxton's failure ; Messrs. Gorrisea and 4- liiffel, through the absence of Australian remit nces and Messrs. Brockleshy and Wessels, fo ur 40,0001., in the corn trade. Three or :nr other s are su pposed to be imminent, the con ,b_ention betwee n th e se firms and others being inti 'te. Before the end of the year, the list will bo probably swelled to much larger dimensions, and til er is an impression that a recovery will not take . L' i cace until the Spring. In the meantime, the In au Mutiny will most likely be quelled, and the ft : l ation of affairs in America may improve, so 4 44 , although monetary and commercial prospects ma lowering at present, a general amelioration Il 3 'l it is hoped, take place in the space of a few kontb s. besides th e 100,0001. in sovereigns above referred t o' 92,000/. A ustra li an , an d 62 , 0001. R uss i an go ld were taken into the Bank yesterday.

There has been rather more firmness in the mar "et for English Stocks, and a moderate amount of ,1 81 4 . 38 has been done at an improvement "f about k per cent. The return of gold from klcotla,n.i, and the Australian remittance, have ca , ll , l ° e ct a better tone.

Mr. Sergeant Shee—No, my lord, I support the rule. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said that he, with his learned friend Mr. Brown, and Sir F.

Thesiger. 93 90 Lord Campbell—lt can stand. over for the present, but I see no reason why it should not come on in the course of the morning. Sir F.

EXTEMSIVX BURGLARY BY A ',kn.—Mathew Charles Taylor, a lad 17 years of age, was placed at the bar, be fore Mr. Bingham, charged with biarglariously breaking into the premises No. 21, Noel-street, Berwick-street, and stealing therefrom a quantity of silver spoons, four silver figures, several silver brooches, a lot of unset rubies, and other articles of considerable value, the property of Mr. John Le Roche, goldsmith and jeweller. John Bingham stated that he was foreman to Mr. Le Roche, and well acquainted with the prisoner, who was discharged from the same employ about eight weeks ago, for dishonesty. Oa Saturday afternoon last, wit ness having seen to the safety of the stock, and 'well secured the premises, left the place. On Monday morn ing on gcing to business, he was astonished to find th a t the premises had in the meanwhile been forcibly entered, and the whole of the property named in the charge stolen therefrom. Several secret drawers were broken open and rifled of their contents, and this, combined with various circumstances, induced him to suspect the prisoner to be the thief. Last night from information he received, he went to a public-house in Oxford-street, where he saw the prisoner. He called him out, and told him Mr. Le Roche, who was outside, desired to see him. The prisoner them came out, and witness told him he had done a very pretty thing in robbing Mr. Ls Roche. The prisoner said he had done nothing, nor did he know anything about the robbery. They then walked on till they met a constable, when the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. John Le Roche, jeweller, Noel-street, said that in consequence of the prisoner's bad character he was dis charged eight weeks ago. Since he had left lint suspi cion of various robberies fell upon hies, and he tieing the only person, with the exception of prosecutor and his brother, who knew of the construction of the secret drawers, and therefore coukl but know hew to open thew, he was at once suspected of the present burglary. Considerable pry eerty bad been stolen, and at present witness was not aware of the extent of his loss. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was leinanied for a Nk eek. WESTMINSTER. CRUEL CASH OF DESERTION.—WiIIiam Ambrose, a lady's boot and shoe maker, was charged with deserting his wife and child. The wife, an extremely creditable-looking young woman, with an infant in her arms, said that she had only been married to the defendant two years and a-half. During the last two months he had formed an improper intimacy with another woman, and on Wednesday three weeks he desired her to go to his employer to get him six pairs of boots to do. She went, but found there was no work left out for him, as described, and on her return the defendant had absconded, and bad left the infant lying on the step of the door. He was found last night at Bethnal-green, by ,Knowland, the summoning officer of the court, and taken into custody. Defendant said he would make his wife a weekly allowance. Mr. Payntsr —I don't think you are very likely to de that, as you are living with another woman. Your conduct is very disgraceful, and I shall commit you for two mouths to hard labour ist the House of Correction, and if you don't do your duty when yon cease out and support your wife and child, I will send you for trial, as an incorrigible rogue. Mary Connell, a young hearty-looking woman, was charged with deserting her three illegitimate children, of tender years. Mr. Colless, relieving officer of St. Margaret's, said the law would not reach the defendant for desertion, as the offence of running away was committed in Jane, 1856, which was out of the legal lapse of time ; he must, therefore, merely proceed for the minor offence of neglecting to maintain. ' ' Elisabeth Parker stated that in compassion to the woman's children she gave her and them a lodging for a week, in June, 1854 ; but on getting up one morning she found defendant had picked her pocket of all the money she possessed, and had absconded, leaving her children. Being penniless, she could neither get them nor herself food, and took them to the workhouse, where they had been since maintained. Sergeant Lavine proved that the woman was compe -1 tent to maintain her children. Mr. Payater said her conduct was very bad, and oom• =Mei her for a month to bard labour. THAMES. MURNEILOUS ASSAULT.—CharIes Murray, a powerful looking man, aged 24, was brought before Mr. Yardlay, charged with beating and kicking Philip Clifford, a Yorkehirenian, in a most barbarous manner. The prosecutor, a tall, burly fellow, presented a hideous appearance. His face was swollen, his features mutilated, and there were surgical plasters under each eye. He said that he lived in Wentworth-street, and did nothing particular for his living. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the two men before hi■ worship were two of the most worthless fellows in the district, and had been in the practios of going about from public-house to public-house, sponging upon sailors, and living by the most disre putable means. The prosecutor, who lived in a locality in Whitechapel, swarming with thieves, was the worst of the two. It appeared that the two lel lows were drinking together at the Cock and Neptune public-house, last night, and that the prisoner asked the complainant to purchase some tea, sugar, aid bread for him, and gave him half-a-crown for that purpose. The complainant, to use his own phrase, stuck to the money and spent it upon himself. The prisoner with a dread ful oath swore he would be revenged. He waylaid the complaisant about one o'clock in the morning, in Leman stieet, Whitechapel, knocked Lim down, jumped upon him, and kicked him about the head, face, and body. The groans and cries of the wounded man were heard by a police-constable, named Lewin, 77 11, who heard him say don't kill me, don't kill me. The man became insensible from loss of blood and the dreadful punishment he received, and there is no doubt that but for the opportune arrival of the police the man would have been murdered. The man was conveyed to the hospital, where his wounds were dressed. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had not been to sea for seven months ; that he lived on money supplied to him by his brother-in-law, of No. 2, Royal Exchange Buildings ; and that his father left him 6001. some time — Mr. Yardley did not believe the prisoner, and con sidered him to be a most idle and worthless ruffian. The public peace was not to be disturbed by such a ♦illain. He sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 31., and in default sentenced Mm to one montti a imprisonment. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

Mr. Power applied on the part of Anna Maria - Kemp that she might be allowed to exhibit articles of the peace against her husband, William Kemp, ironmonger, of Woodbridge, Suffolk, for cruelty. The articles stated that applicant was married about 9 years ago to the defendant, and that for two years past he had treated her with great cruelty, frequently during that time he had laid ♦iolent hands upon her, and had threatened to take away her life. In July and August last, and on several eecaeions whilst in bed with him, she had been awoke by feelings of suffocation. On one occasion she found one of his hands over her mouth and with the other he was pressing her nose, to prevent her breath inn. In 1855 her husband, whilst she was in bed with him asleep, attempted to strangle her by violently pull ing the string of her night cap. He threatened also to smother her and otherwise injure her. Oa the night of ,he 26th October last she went to bed with her husband, and in the course of the night she was awoke from her sleep by finding that he had ♦iolently grasped her arm with one hand, and with the other he was pressing her head with great force on her chest, so as to prevent her breathing, and thus strangle her. She, however, sue- (*.dad in breaking away from him, and took refuge in tho servant's room, where she remained awake the remaining portion of the night. In the morning, en complaining to him of his conduct, be threatened to garotte her. On the 29th October she informed her parents of her hisband's cruelty, and ou their advice she applied to a magistrate for protestioa from her husband's ♦iolent conduct, and he recom mended her to leave him aad Munk and live with her parents, who resided at Hadleigh, about 17 miles from Woodbridge. She did so, bat returaed to him agabt •n his promise never again to hurt her. She, however, had scarcely returned home before he 'sized her vio leatly by the arm, and bending her finger so as to sauce her great pain, he tore her wedding ring from her finger, and had refused to give it hew again. The same night he seat the only female domestic servant that was in the house away, and she had to re main with him alone ; he, however, went eat, and did not return hems till near two o'clock in the merning. Applicant, in the meantime, being afraid to 'lisp with him, went and laid dowa in a room adjoining her has band's bedroom, and on kis return she overheard him talking to himself, as he was in the habit of doing, saying that he would take her geld watch from her and murder her. He threatened her several times, and being afraid of her life, she sat up all that night, She then went home to her parents, who agreed to support her if her husband would contribute 101. a•year to her support, but he would only give her 2s. id. per week. which being too little she was obliged again to return to him. On the let of November she applied to the same magistrate as on a previous occasion for his proteotion but he refused to entertain her application and bind her husband over to keep the peace, advising her to separate from him and return and live with her parents. ♦pplicant stated her belief that the magistrate had been improperly influenced by some parties and attributed to that his declining to call upon her husband to provide eareties of the peace. She was in daily bodily fear of her life. Lord Campbell—l ♦ery muck regret the magistrate referred to did not order, when applied to, the husband to find sureties of the peace, so as to render it unne cessary for the applicant to have applied to this court. We think she is entitled to our protection, and we grant the application. I don't think the magistrate, in refusing to call upon the husband to find sureties, acted from improper motives, bet he was certainly wrong, according to the wife's statement, in refusing her application. Mr. Power—Then your lordships order a writ of attachment to issue. Lord Campbell—Yes. The writ was accordingly issued. IMPRISONMENT OP A MAGISTRATE. THI ATTORNEY-MIN/ZELL Y. ROBERT BILLAUT, BRQ., MAGISTRATE OP TIE COUNTY OP DUAUAL In this case, the defendant was tried at the last Dar ham assizes, and found guilty of receiving money for compounding an offence. It appeared that two men were brought before the defendant, charged with tres passing on his land and shooting a rabbit for the sick wife of one of them. He took away the gun, and in sisted they should each pay him one pound, other wise he would send them handcuffed to gaol. The poor men accordingly sent to their friends and succeeded in obtaining the money, having, however, been kept in custody in the meantime with handcuffs on. The money was ultimately paid and the men discharged, and it was proved on the trial that the defendant appropriated the money to his own ase, instead of returning it in fines to the Clerk of the Peace. Mr. Justice Coleridge, in sentencing the defendant, commented strongly on hie disgraceful conduct, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 2001. to the Queen, to be imprisoned 12 months in the Queen's Prison, as a first class misdemeanant, and at the end of the time to be farther imprisoned till the fine was paid. Lord Campbell said it should be known that that Court had no power to dismiss the defendant from the Commission of the Peace. He had no doubt, however, that the particulars would be laid before the Lord Chancellor, who would immediately dismiss him from the Commission. The Solicitor-General, who appeared on the part of the Crown, said he believed that had already been done. The defendant was then removed in Custody. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) THZ LONDON AND EASTERN BANE . — IN 381 COLONEL VirAIJGII. To-day was appointed for the adjourned Examination of this bankrupt, who was one of the directors of the London and Eastern Bank, and of Branksea, Ireland, and was declared bankrupt some time since, during his absence from England, and has not since returned, it being alleged that he was suffering severely from ill-health. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, objected to any further adjournment, as this was the third or fourth time they had been before the court, and the assignees were anxious to get accounts, but all they got were unsatisfactory letters. Mr. Lawrance put in certificates as to the present state of the bankrapCs health, and urged that no possible benefit could accrue to the creditors by resorting to the extreme powers of the Court by proceeding to outlawry, and suggested that a further adjournment should take plan, and that interrogatories should be sent out to the ?0 all 1 all 1 10s. 5 all 50 all 50 all 0) 60 1 all St. 100 2.5 all 1 all 1 all 20 5 10 28 106 i 7 19, 1857. , t2i tj,, , N ttts fr-7";A;P r 't ° ." et , AY,* 1 ' 44 : 4 ' 5 ,7 olt tV ;`,= SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

Brett, an experienced. officer of the detective force of London, has lately been at Brussels for the purpose of endeavouring to trace out something relative to the forged notes of the Bank of England which were some short time ago discovered there iu a hat-case left at the Hotel des Estrangers, in the Rue des Tressiers. From his inquiries, it appears that the account already given was substantially correct. The hat case had been left at the hotel about threes years back by a porter, and since then never claimed. The case, after a time, was deposited in the lumber-room, and there remained forgotten until the proprietor of the house, on seeing in the English papers the details of the Waterloo-bridge tragedy, thought of what had been left with him, and determined to examine it. It was heavy, and well secured by a brass padlock, and its general appearance was calculated to excite sus picion. His curiosity induced him to get it down and break the padlock, and he found it to contain thirteen large official-looking sealed envelope parcels. He opened them, and to his great astonishment discovered the contents to consist of some thousands of what appeared to him to be Bank of England notes. He took two of them to the shop of M. Edouard de Poise, a money-changer, who we believe was about to cash them when the hotel-keeper intimated that he wished his opinion as to their character. M. de Peire then exa mined them more closely, and detected that they were forgeri es, but co cleverly were they executed that other money-changers, notwithstanding the doubts expressed as to their genuineness, offered to exchange them. The discovery was at once communicated to Mr. Maltby, the British Consul, who made it known to the Bank of England, and the box and notes were placed in the custody of M. Van Hanw, of the Brussels police, until the English officer arrived. They then underwent a strict examination by the chief engraves of the Belgian Bank, which occupied some hours, and the whole of the notes were pronounced to be forged Thsy, however, were so well executed, and the imitation so strong, both as regards the character of the paper, water-mark, &c., as to mislead the most cautious. They had evidently been struck off from three plates, which the Bank authorities believe to beßritishengravicg. The 10/. notes bear a date when there was no issue of that descrip tion of notes at the Bank of England. The Belgian police seem rather perplexed at the fact of so large a quantity of fictitious notes having escaped the scrutiny of their own Custom-house officials ; but on examination of the envelops it was ascertained that the parcels, notwithstand ing their size, had passed through the post ffice from Mar seilles, which post-mark each bore. The forged notes were pieced in an inner envelope. The outer ones were addressed to different parties invarious places in Belgium (known to be living at the parts named at the time, but who have sines absconded), while the inner ones were re-ad dressed to persons in Marseilles. This was a stratagem to deceive the police. In the event of one of the parties being captured, no doubt hie excuse would be for pos session of the parcel, that he only received it to send it to the direction of the enclosed envelope, and that as it was sealed he knew nothing of the contents. Just previously to the time of the box being left at the Hotel des Etrangers, some parties were apprehended ' at Frankfort cn a charge of passing Bank of England notes, on which occasion the Bank e:nt over Haydon, the City detective, to assistethe authorities there. Those forged notes now turn out to be fac similes of those discovered at Brussels. A great number of forged notes of a like character were in circulation on the Continent about that time, the parties were cons icted, and they made certain revelations to the Government respecting accomplices, which no doubt were in Brus sels at the time, and owing to the publicity of the fraud, and fearing detection, but not wishing to destroy the notes, they resorted to the expedient of getting their stock in trade left at the hotel as before narrated. That they carried on their nefarious trade in many of the Continental cities and towns there is ample proof, and as well as that some of the notes found their way to England. Brett, the officer, has just left Brus sels for London, to deposit the forged notes in the custody of the Bank of England. The Marquis Conyngham has arrived at the St. George's Hotel, Albemarle-street. The Dowager Lady Cowley is staying on a visit with the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, at Hatfield House, Heal. WRECKS ON VIE GOODWIN AND LONG, SANDS.—EarIy on Monday morning an express arrived at Ramsgate from Broadstairs stating that a vessel had sunk upon the south face of the Goodwin Sand, with the crew cling ing to the rigging and a signal of distress flyinz. The life-boat and steamer of the Ramsgate Harbour Trustees were instantly despatched with the Broadstairs men, whose craft were aground in the harbour, it being at the time low water. In about an hour after the life-boat had left, a lugger arrived in Ramsgate harbour with eight persons, being the whole of the crew of the sneli en vessel, which proved to be the Juliana, of Bilboa, from Christiansand to Bilboa, with a cargo of salt fish. We r!gret to add that the day before yesterday a Dutch setves was lost on the Long Sand, when all hands peri-hed. Another telegraph arrived on Monday at Ramsgate, an nouncing the total loss of a Danish vessel on the Long Sand. Hercrew were fortunately saved. Has not the time arrived when something effectual should be done fer saving life from the numerous shipwrecks on the Goodwin and Long Sande, where huudreds of sailors every year meet with a watery grave I The Royal National Life-boat Institution had often bad impressed on it, that if one of her Majesty's steamers of sufficient dimensions, with her fires kept backed up during bad weather, and having attached to her one or two life-boats, were stationed in the Downs, she might often be made eminen ly useful in saving lives from ships wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. Upon indication of bad weather or upon a sig nal of dis tress from either of the " light vessels," the steadier might quickly get her steam up. Possessing a power whieh no other means could supply, she would soon reach the vicinity of danger, and be . enabled to take ep the best position for either putting off her We ts:oats or using Manhy's apparatus or any other appliances for saving life. With the knowledge that one not b o e f h r e e r ed M il s y jes e ty be 'e nd v o e n s e s d e , ls but wa fresh was near, lips would vigour would be given to both crew and passengers from the con. fidence they would feel that the means of safety wore at hand, and Ithat every exertion would be used to rescue them from their perilous position. Such a vesse l would likewise be a valuable auxiliary to the lifeboats stationed at Broadstairs, Ramgate, and 'Weimer, and to the logger s on that line of coast, which are always ready and willing to proceed to the scene of disaster in the most tempestuous weather, and fre quently rescue lives at the imminent risk of their own crews. It is well known that the Ramsgate and Di-al loggers have brought to land upwards of 200 mist retie . and half-clad emigrants from the same ship at one time, all that they possessed havi ng gone w i th the ill fated vessels. The National Life-boat Institution has offered to supply the life-boats required for this humane and most important work, and we sincerely trust that the day is not so far dstant when we shall be able to , report that the Admiralty have also on their part ac ceded to the request that has boon made to them to pro vide the necessary steamers. A SLAVEHOLDECR'S LEG:ACV. A t-or-J - ,a l redo likl)IC claim for pavoitir.',: 7;'' V ca,ue before the Scutch law-courts last week. i7hephen Henderson, a planter in Louisiana, died in 1833, pos sessed of property valued at 300,0001. He was born in the parish of Dunblane, Perthshire, and his fortune would appear to have been altogether self-acquired. He left a will, which set out by protesting against any ex ception being taken to its form, writing, or spelling. He p •ovidee fo' the conversion of his Destrehan plantation i .t) a ci by to be called Dunblane, and gives the follo w i ng picture of his family :—" My whole family may be con sidered as a family of drunlcarde, and this misfortune must have come upon the side of my father ; although that he was au antiquarian, learned and intelligent, yet to get drunk once a month was to him a jubilee. My mother was a Drummond, a descendant of the M‘Gregors, good-natured, but without much capacity. They were honourable and high-minded as respects their intercourse with others, but profligate and indolent as respects the management of their private concerns; being poor they were always in bankruptcy." He then proceeds to direct that his slaves shall be treated with humanity, and that the adults shall receive 31b. of good beef or pork per week• He says ;—" I have always treated my blacks with much indulgence, and even personal kindness. I have always been opposed to slavery, butes it is properly recognised by the constitution of the United States, to take that away yon would at once destroy the greatest and best regulated Government in the Old or New World. Therefore, all attempts made by the fanatics or misguided people that is going about and preaching, like evil spirits, against slavery, turns the heads of the unfortunate negroes, and prepares them for the com mission of every kind of crime, which compels their masters to limit the very liberty which they formerly , awarded to them." He gives directions for the eman cipation of his slaves by lot at intervals of five years, and the furnishing of them with a free passage to " our settlement in Africa ;" but " it must be clearly under stood that the benefit now granted to my slaves is not to extend to a murderer or thief, or a confirmed rune away, or for any other high crime that can be legally proved." Amor g a number of legacies, he Laves the two which form the subject of the present action in the fol lowing terms :—" '2,000 dole. per annum to be paid to the poor of the town of Dunblane, in Perthshire, North Britain (this suns to be divided by the resident minister of the Presbyterian church), and to the two highest civil officers in the town, to be paid upon due proof of their acceptance of their trust, say 2,000 dole. ; 2,000 dull. Lit the erection of aschoolhouse in the town of Dunblane for 10 years only, and for the purpose of educating of the poor, this being the place of my birth. I feel no obligation, however, for these acte of charity ; it is only ' done to help the poor who like myself may be:thrown on the world without a penny or a friend. My greateat ob ject is to do the greatest quantity of good, and to the greatest number, and to the poorest people. I shall leave the world without regret, believing that I shall go to a better and happier one." The pursuers in the nation are the Rev, James Boe, minister of the parish, and the Sheriff Substitute and Sheriff Clerk Depute of the western district of Perthshire, Dunbialie having no burghal constitution. The defenders are the heirs-at law, the broth-rs and sisters of the testator, domiciled, we believe, in Scotland. Since 1838 proceedings have been ping on in respect to Henderson's will in the courts of Louisiana, and in 1850 the legacies were there declared of none effect, on the grounds that there are three " Presbyterian " ministers in the town of Dun- Wane (that is the parish minister and two ministers of Dissenting Presbyterians) and no "highest civil law officers "in the town of Dunblane. It had also been re presented to the Court that the effect of the legacy, if paid, would not be to benefit Dunblane, but to relieve the heritors of the county, seeing that the town was un incorporated. The pursuers aver that the invalidity of the bequest was declared in their absence and oa ex parte evidence. The defenders meet the claim by three pre liminary pleas, first, that the pursuers have no title, that the question is res jud icata by the American Courts, and that this is not a competent Court. The Lord Ordinary (Benholme) repelled these prelimirary pleas, and the defenders reclaimed to the first division, which has now found that the case is not res judicata, and that the Court of Session is forum competcns. The Court, however, reserves the question of title as entering into the merits. MARKET NEWZ.—(Thi3 Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.

THE FALL OF DELHL—We have great satisfaction in stating that Major Reid, commandant of the famous Sirmoor Battalion of Ghoorkhas, who was severely wounded on the 14th of September, is doing well. He fell almost immediately on his colamn advancing to the assault. It is a scalp wound, and it is a miracle that he was not killed. Up to the 18th he is reported as doing well. Food riots are already taking place in New York. A despatch, dated the 3d inst. , says ;—" A Hunger Meeting of German and Irish labourers was held in Tompkins-square in the morning. After listening to several inflammatory speeches, they commenced de molishing the fences and seats, and in a short time had destroyed the whole. A mob of one hundred then proceeded to the residences of several of the candidates, demanding food for their votes. A proposition was made to proceed to the sacking of groceries and pro visi on storm The result:is not yet known." ACTION FOR ELECTION ESPENSICE3,—At the Ponty fract County Court on Tuesday last, an astion was brought by Mr. Wright, the present mayor of Pointe , ft-act, against Mr. Oliveira, late M.P. for that borough, to recover the sum of 251. 14s. 3d., being the defendants proportion of the returning officer's expenses at the last election at Pontefract. Mr. Smith, of Doncaster, on behalf of the plaintiff, said that there were three candi didates on the occasion referred to—Mr. Milnes, Mr. Wood, and the defendant. In conducting the election the mayor incurred certain expenses• for printing, poll clerks, booths, professional assistance, &c., amounting altogether to 771. 2s. 10d., and by the Reform and other Acts these expenses were chargeable upon the respective candidates in equal proportions. The other candidates, Mr. Milnes and Mr. Wood. had each paid 251.145. 3d., but the defendant, though frequently applied to, had refused to pay his quota. Mr. Smith denounced it as a disgraceful circumstance that the mayor, to whom the election writ was directed, who was compelled to per form an onerous duty, and against whose impartiality no whisper had been heard, should be subjected to the hard ship either of paying the expenses himself or of seeking redress in a court of justice. Mr. Ferns, on behalf of the defendant, said that a candidate was not responsible for certain items in his .account. He might be liable for his proportion of the cost of the poll-clerks and booths, but the charge for printing was too much, while, as to professional assistance, the mayor was supposed to know his duties, and if he did not he must pay for instruction. Ultimately an arrange ment was made between Mr. Smith and Mr. Ferns for the plaintiff to have judgment for 131. lac Verdict accordingly. SPonnEst IN LIVERPOOL.—James Spollen, who was tried for the murder of Mr. Little, at Dublin, and who has since obtained for himself such notoriety, has arrived in Liverpool with the avowed purpose of getting out of the country. It appears that he is about to resort to means in Liverpool somewhat similar to those he tried in Dublin without success. He is endeavouring to get funds to enable him to procure models and drawings of the railway terminus, Mr. Little's offices, and his own cottage, which he intends to exhibit and comment upon, for the twofold purpose of showing the impossibility of his being the gu lty man, and of procuring funds to enable him to get to America or Australia. On Monday evening, about 8 o'clock, he made his appearance at the central police-office, Dale-street, in company with Mr. Thomas, Clough, ahi h pioed e u: n aage,b,ea: i the Tstwttahei f ns o e ie l r i neei follow in g and co-operati o n g rt sc.

The police would deal with him as with any other of her Majesty's subjects, without g g e i t ve ou ra t e ot yo th u e r reference to the past ; but they would not extend to him any protection beyond that usually extended to any other person. or for the pecuniary aid after what bad transpired.

He bad on a long brown frock coat, and though his looks were downcast he did not appear to be in die tress.—.Liverpool Daily Post, 93 2; 341 i ~ 100 100 . 100 100 . 100 .1100 I i 60 .1100 16/1!', 82 S 92 4 14 i 118 1.08 71 7 2i 544 4 14
