REPORT OF CHOLERA. EXISTING AT FAL- MOUTH. A letter at Lloyd's from their agent contradicts the non that a case of cholera had exhibited itself at Fal- eilit SUN, _LONDON, MONDAY EVENING-, NOVEMBER 15, 1847. mouth on board a vessel from the Black Sea, in the fol lowing terms :—" We beg most unequivocally to contra dict the statement, and to assert not only that nothing of the kind has occurred, mld that no epidemic whatever prevails in this locality, notwithstanding the large influx of strangers by recent arrivals. No vessel has been sub jected to quarantine through sickness, and only a few have been placed under temporary restraint from their not being provided with clean hills of health." MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY The arrivals of English Wheat and Malt op to our market last week were somewhat on the increase—those of all ether articles of grain of home produce small. From Scotland very little Corn came to hand, but upwards of 10,000 quarters of Oats, of the present year's growth were received from Ireland. The imports from abroad were comparatively small. viz., 7,544 quarters of Wheat, 5,285 ditto of Oats, 1,983 ditto of Beans, 1,960 ditto of Peas, and only 496 barrels of Flour. No foreign Barley came to hand. The receipts of English Wheat fresh up to-day, by land-carriage, were small, but those coastwise were somewhat extensive, and of very inferior quality. On the whole the stands were well filled with samples of both Red and White ; but as the condition—arising from the prevailing damp weather—was bad, the demand was in a very sluggish state at a decline in the quotations paid on Monday last of from 2s'to 3s per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected. We attribute the fall in value to day more to the dampness of the parcels than to any other circumstance. With foreign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. Selected qualities of both red and white were a slow sale at is per quarter less money, while all other kinds were very dull, and quite 2s per quarter cheaper. Very few parcels changed hands for export to the continent. Notwithstanding the show of Barley: was small, that article met a very slow inquiry. The best qualities were mostly disposed of at last weeks prices ; but all other kinds suffered a decline of Is. per quarter. The supply of Malt being more than adequate to meet the wants of the buyers, the trade was in a very depressed state, at a fall, in value of quite 6d per quarter, and several small parcels remained even at toe close of busi ness. There were very few Oats on offer. Selected parcels of English and Irish were very firm, at full rates of currency. In all other kinds a moderate amount of business was doing, at late rates. Beans, though a moderate supply, moved off slowly, at but little alteration in value. The sale for Peas was slow; nevertheless, previous rates were well supported. In dian Corn and Meal were rather dull. The Flour trade was slow, at barely stationary prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The Lord Chancellor did not take his seat in his court at Westminster to-day, till half-past eleven o'clock, in consequence or having to come from Windsor this morning, where his Lordship had been on a visit to her Majesty. WARE v. ROWLAND. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occupied his Lordship the whole morning. The case possesses no interest except to the parties concerned. RO LLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) GIBBINS V. BOARD OF MANAGEMENT NORTH-EASTERN DISTRICT ASYLUM. This was a cause which came on for re-hearing. It appeared that the plaintiff sold the defendants a piece of ground at Mile-end for the erection of an asylum. The defendants disputed the contract upon the ground that it was not completed, the plaintiff not having made a legal title, which, however, the plain tiff had offered to do. The arguments having concluded, The MASTER or THE ROLLS considered that the contract must be vitiated by the negotiations that had taken place with reference to the question of title. His Lordship granted a decree for the specific per formance of the contract, with a reference to the Master to inquire if the plaintiff could give a good title. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard causes to•day. WASTELL V. LESLIE. This case came before the Court to-day, upon the question whether the sum of 8211. Gs. 6d. ought to be allowed for the expenses of an accountant in making out the accounts of the estate of the testator, who previous to his death kept a lunatic asylum in the neighbourhood of Hoxton. The Master had reported against the allowance of the amount, but no exceptions had been taken to his report. His Hosouß thought the amount ought to be allowed, and ordered accordingly. (Before Sir J. WIGRAM.) JONES V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAIL- WAY COMPANY. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from proceeding with a portion of their works, till the decision of a court of law had been obtained, as to their exact powers, and the rights of the plaintiff under the General Act. His HONOUR delivered judgment this morning. The plaintiff was the occupier of a public-house, back of which was a small cutilege, bounded by a wall, and having no entrance or exit, except by the house. The defendants, under the powers of their Act, proposed to carry their railway, back of the house, at an elevation in no part exceeding thirteen feet. The plaintiff contended that the defendants were bound to purchase the cutilege, which they denied, and claimed to have the question decided by law ; to facilitate which they admitted that the messuage, or yard in question, was a cutilege. The only point he had then to decide was as to what way he should deal with the case in the mean time. Plaintiff said that the railway would obstruct the light, deteriorate his store of liquors, and destroy his trade, and therefore that he ought at once to be paid for his house, and to be placed in a position to remove to some other place and there establish him self in business. The plans and models showed clearly that the works of the railway would deteriorate the light and air of plaintiff's premises, and there was no evidence to show that the defendants would be im peded in the construction of their line if they post poned their works at the plaintiff's premises till after the trial. The conclusion to which he came was that the injunction should then be granted, with liberty to the defendants to apply to dissolve it before the question at issue was decided, in case the opening of the railway should be prevented, or any other in convenience sustained by them. H e b e l ieve d in this case he acted according to the authority laid down by the Lord Chancellor. The decree was accordingly made. grounds, but after a short discussion the further hearing of the case was adjourned for a week, in order to enable the defendant to add to his affidavits. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) THE QUEEN V. THE GUARDIANS OF SHEPPY. Mr. PASULY applied for a rule calling upon the guardians of the Sheppy Union to show cause why an information should not be filed against them for improperly discharging their duties. Some time ago Jane Nightingale and her child became chargeable to the parish, her husband having left her destitute at Minster. Sh e was married at Plymouth, an d having expressed a wish to be passed to her parish, the guardians had, her before them, and, it appeared gave instructions to the relieving-officer to see her re moved. The mas t er of the workhouse accompanied her to the pier, and gave her fifteen shillings to pay her passage with, telling her that, as soon as she got to London, she would find a Plymouth boat. Her passage to London, food, and a bed for herself and child, nearly consumed the whole of the money, and the poor creature was compelled to walk to Stone house, near Pl ymouth, and to beg her way along, t h e journey occupying her six weeks ! The next affi davit on which he moved was that of Lucy Ingram, now an inmate of the Medway Union. She, under similar circumstances, received 2s. 6d. to pay the expense of her j ourney. She appl i e d f or a d mission into the Chatham Union, although at first refused, because no order had been sent with her, she was directed, in fa c t, t o proceed there an d d eman d ad mission. The L earne d Counsel said be groun d e d his application on the affidavits of the clerk of the Medway Union. Mr. Edmead, the clerk of the Sheppy Unio n , h a d stated that the directors, finding the settlement of Ingram to be at Chatham, requested that union to receive her from them without the ex pense of an order. The COURT granted the application. EXCHEQUER,(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in banco.) The Court was occupied during the day with ar guments in special cases. The majority of cases brought before the court were sent from one or other of the chancery courts, and the details were utterly devoid of interest to any other parties than those immediately interested. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied during the day in hearing cases of appeal under the Registration of Voters Act. TOMS, APPELLANT V. LUCKETT, RES PONDENT. Mr. ROMPTON stated that the appellant in this case, Moses Toms, was struck off the last register for the city of London, by Mr. M'Christie, the revising barrister. The particulars of the case, a s s t a t e d b y the barrister for the opinion of the Court were to the following effect. The appellant occupied the first floor, consisting of two rooms, at 21, Milt on - s t reet, City, for which he paid a rent of 55. 6d. a week, and had resided there for the last year and three quarters. The landlord occupied a shop on the ground floor, but did not sleep there, and three other per sons w h o h a d distinct apartments, li▪ ved upstairs. Each of the parties who resided in the house had separate keys, and were at liberty to lock and unlock the front door whenever they pleased. The d oor was never bolted or fastened insi▪ de at night, and during the day it remained open. The question there fore was, whether, under the circumstances stated the occupation of the appellant was such an occupation as entitled him to vote u nder the Ref orm A c t. O n behalf of the appellant, it was contended that as he had a key of the outer door, and as the landlord did not reside in the house, but merely occupied a part of it, that the landlord's occupation did not pr even t th e appellant being enfranchi▪ sed. On the other hand, it was urged that as the appellant had not the exclusive control of the outer door, he was a mere lodger, and was not entitled to vote. The revising barrister held that the objection had been sustained, and expunged the appellant's name from the register. Mr. Cromp ton now submitted that the appellant had a distinct occupation of the premises, and was entitled to have his name on the register. In support of his ar g u men t he referred to the cases of Wright v. Town-clerk of Stockport, 5 Manning and Grainger, p. 33 ; Pitts v. Smedly ; and Score v. Huggett, 7 Manning and Grainger, p. 95. In the latter case it was decided that the occupier of part of a house, who had th e key of the outer door, and where the landlord did not occupy any portion of the premises, was entitled to vote. MARLBRO%S TREE T—( TH IS DAY.) Mr. John Brewer, a gentleman of independent property, was charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting Mr. Thomas Archer, carver and gilder, No. 3, Queen-street, Oxford-street. The complainant stated that on Saturday night, about half-past ten o'clock, as he was entering his house with his supper beer, his attention was called to the defendant, who appeared to be attempting to commit a nuisance down complainant's area. He told him that he must not commit a nuisance there, but if he walked a little way down the street he wouldifind a proper place, away from the public gaze. The de fendant went away, but shortly after returned, and spoke to two females who were in the street. Com plainant thinking that the defendant had merely pre tended to go to the proper convenience, walked up to him and told him so, w h ereupon h e (defendant) knocked him down and broke the jug containing the beer. Complainant called out " Police, " and after some time a constabl e came up an d too k defendant into custody. In [reply to the charge the defendant said, on Saturday night he was waiting in Queen-street for a lady and her servant, who had been to the Princess's Concert Rooms, when the complainant came up to him, and in a very abrupt manner asked him if he intended to commit a nuisance ? He said " Cer tainly not; why do you ask such a question ?" Com plainant replied your eyes, if you do intend "D n to do so I will give you in c h arge ." D e f en d an t at that moment saw the l a d y w h om h e was wa iti ng f o r, -- and went up to speak to her, while doing so, the com plainant came up, and seizing hold of his collar, called him a d—n liar. He expostulated with com plainant upon his strange conduct and desired him to leave hold of his coat collar. Complainant refused, and a struggle ensued, the result of which was the downfall o f complainant. A constable shortly after came up, and, by order of complainant, took him into custody. Defendant had several wit nesses who witnessed complainant's strange conduct. Mr. Harry Burke, 30, Half-mcon-street, was then called, and proved that the complainant's conduct was violent in the extreme. He saw him holding defendant by the collar, and heard him apply several foul epithets to him. The servant of the lady mentioned by defendant also proved seeing complainant first strike defendant. She also heard him call defendant by several foul names. Mr. BINGHAM said complainant had, acted very unadvisedly, and without the least provocation on the part of defendant. He should therefore discharge him. Wm. Walker, an assistant to a chemist and drug gist, was placed at the bar charged with assaulting police-constable E 103. It appeared that complainant was on duty in Ox ford-market about four o'clock on the previous after noon, when he saw the prisoner and another man knocking at the door of a public-house. As it was Divine service at the time he requested them to desist and to go away. They promised to do so, and com plainant proceeded round his beat. When he re turned, they were still knocking at the door, with more violence than before. He told them to go away The again, or he must t a k e them i n t o cus t o d y . H e was the street.

Lord and Lady John Russell received at dinner on Saturday evening the Austrian Ambassador and the Countess Dietrichstein, the Belgian Minister, Viscount Anson, Lord Glenelg, Lord and Lady Ashley, the Hon. G. Elliot, and Miss Lister. Mr. Cobden, we understand, has announced his intention of retiring from business in favour of his son ; and will take up a permanent residence in the metropolis. Mr. R. Coombes, coal-merchant, Wheeler-street, Vauxhall, requests us to state that he is not the person of that name charged at Bow-street, on Tuesday, the 2d instant. WRECK OF THE NEW YORK PACKET -SHIP STEPHEN WHITNEY. LOSS OF NINETY-ONE LIVES. (From the Liverpool Albion of this day.) We regret to announce the total loss of the New York packet-ship Stephen Whitney, off the south western coast of Ireland, on the night of Wednesday last; and the disaster, it appears, has, unhappily, been accompanied with the loss of ninety-one lives. The details of this lamentable disaster, attended with a loss of life so extensive, are not yet fully in our possession ; but from the subjoined letter received from the Comptroller of Customs at Skibbereen, and kindly placed in our hands by Messrs. Smith and Co., of Water-street, it will be perceived that of the main facts mentioned there can be no question. "Skibbereen, Nov. 12, 1847. " I send you a very bad account of a wreck, as you may know some of the merchants concerned. The packet-ship Stephen Whitney, from New York to Liverpool, totally lost on the West Calf (an island of Scull), on the 10th inst., at ten rad., the master (Popham) drowned. She had on board a general cargo; crew and passengers, 110 ; 91 lost; viz. : passengers, 76, and the master and crew, 15 ; 20 were females, and 3 children. The names of the cabin passengers lost were Mrs. Thom, English ; Mr. Roberts, New York, merchant; Mr. M'Cabe American ; Dr. Sweeny, Irish ; Mr. Robinson, Liverpool." THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER.--ARRIVAL OF THE CONCH D'ELIRE.—At length this long expected docu ment has been received. It reached Manchester through the post, oh Thursday evening last, and was delivered to the Very Rev. the Dean. The canons at present in town are the Revs. C. D. Wray and Oswald Sergeant. We believe it is likely that a chapter will be held on Wed nesday next, for the election of the first bishop of Man chester. The conge d'elire is a royal license, under the great seal, granting permission to the dean and chapter to proceed to the election of a bishop. It is accom panied by a letter-missive, which contains the name of the person they shall elect, and they may not legally elect any other. It is needless to add that the name in this letter-missive is that of the Rev. James Prince Lee. The consecration of the new bishop will take place in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, on the 28th inst.—Man chesser Guardian. A HINT TO THE LADIES.......The Nottingham Journal states that a singular fraud has been successfully at tempted by some laceworkers, who have given to cotton the appearance of silk. Silk thread is dissolved by a chemical process, and after the cotton thread has been drawn through the solution thus obtained it has the gloss and appearance of silk,thread, from which the eye can not distinguish it.

Laing and Bruener's circular ; two columns of Marylebone important meeting at Vestry Court-house ; full parti culars of the suicide of Count Bresson, the negotiator of the Royal Spanish marriages ; death and a memoir of Mendelssohn Bartholdy ; art and artists, &c. HULL, Nov. 13.—Last evening a meeting of the Liberal electors took place in Market-place Wares, for the purpose of selecting a fit and proper person as coun cillor, in the room of Mr. Forrester, lately elected an alderman. There were two candidates proposed, but the large majority of hands held up for Mr. Thomas Mitchell places his election for the office beyond a doubt. Indeed, it is a compliment Mr. Mitchell richly deserves for his straightforward and unflinching conduct during a churchwardenship of ten years, held to the satisfaction of the greater portion of the parish of Holy Trinity. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—Last evening, about five o'clock, the clerks at the Manchester station of the Commercial Electric Telegraph received by the instru ment the gratifying announcement that the wires were all connected, and that the communication was now quite completed, and ready for the transmission of in telligence throughout to the metropolis; and the best proof of this was given immediately afterwards, by the transmission to Manchester of the closing prices in the money market and the share market up to four o'clock, and also of the corn market, Mark-lane, to its close. The route of the telegraphic wires would be called circuitous, if the swift elemental fluid did not virtually annihilate distance. From Manchester, the wires ex tend to Normanton, where there is a telegraphic station; thence along the North Midland I;ne to Derby, where also there is a telegraphic station; thence by the Midland Counties to Rugby, where there is another telegraphic station; and thence by the London and North-Western line direct to Euston-square, where this and other northern lines of telegraphic communica tion are conected with those extending to the south end south-eastern coast. Of these, the principal now open are those having telegraph termini at Dover, at Gos port, and at Southampton. With these ports, we, in Manchester, may now communicate in a few minutes. As the telegraph stations are now open day and night, of course any important intelligence can be transmitted throughout the kingdom with a speed sur passing every need of even this railway age.—Munches ter Guardian. NORTH AMERICAN MAIL.—On Saturday, notice was issued and affixed at the General Post Office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, that the Britannia would convey the mails of the evening of the 18th instant for British North America, Bermuda, and the United States, which would be the last semi-monthly mail dispatched till the month of April, 1848. THE APPROACHING POLISH BALL AT GUILDHALL. —Au unusually full meeting of the committee for con ducting this entertainment was held on Saturday last, at Guildhall. After an address from Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., expressive of his confident hope that the present meeting would exceed all which had preceded it, Mr. Carr, the honorary secretary, announced that, notwith standing the late pressure in the money market, the sale of tickets was proceeding much better than in former years, and that the present arrangements far surpassed all the previous ones in splendour. It is expected that a great number of the patronesses will be present upon the occasion. HANDLING " FILTHY LUCRE."—At the City Police Committee, on Saturday, a number of Jew sales men, carrying on business in Duke-street, St. James's place, &e., in the vicinity of Houndsditch, were fined in sums varying from five shillings and costs to the amount of expenses for having casks and fruit baskets placed upon the foot-pavement. The defendants said they could not pay the fine that day, being their Sab bath. If the officer called they might get it, or if the bench allowed they would send the amount on Monday. Sir P. Laurie—Not pay, indeed, on the Sabbath ! Will you receive any money on that day ? One of the de fendants—Ah, your worship, that s quite a different thing. Of course we do.—(Laughter.) Sir Peter Laurie—l thought so—receive all, and pay none. Mr. Alderman Wilson—Well, I do not wish to interfere with your form of religion. Pay the fines on Monday, at the Guildhall justice-room. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—Mr. Mills held an in quest on Saturday at the Sir Isaac Newton, Union street, Marylebone, on Henry Dymark, aged fifty eight. It appeared that the deceased, who had been a servant in the employ of Mr. Schweppe, mineral and soda-water manufacturer, Berners-street, for thirty years, had lately, through family quarrels, indulged in drunkenness. On Wednesday night he returned to his lodgings, 4, Union-street, where h e co h a bit e d w ith a woman, having deserted his wife. That woman was not then at home, and he went in search of her. After some time he found her in a public-house drinking, and asked her to accompany him home, which she re fused doing. He then left her, and returned to his lodgings. Shortly afterwards, his son, a young boy, went into the room, and seeing something ,white as he thought standing in it, ran down stairs and continued playing in the street for an hour afterwards, and then returned to the room and struck a light, when he found that the object in white was his father, who had hanged himself from a staple that ho had fastened in the ceil ing. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." SUICIDE.—On Saturday morning Mr. John Mills, a master baker, in Short's-buildings, Clerkenwell, hanged himself in his bakehouse. The unfortunate man was much respected, and at present no reason is assigned for the dreadful act. J. Drinkwater Bethune, Esq., some time Parlia mentary Counsel at the Home-office, is appointed to suc ceed Charles Hay Cameron, Esq., barrister-at-law, as President of the Indian Law Council, and Member of the Supreme Council at Calcutte. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 12.—The marke is improving, and a steady consumptive business is being transacted at an advance of fully ls. on previous rates. —Bristol Mercury. TIIE CITY COUNTY COURT.—On Saturday Mr. Commissioner Bullock had no fewer than 102 cases to dispose of, and, by his decisions and impartiality, gave much satisfaction in almost every case, the oppressive creditor and the dishonest debtor being the only parties to find fault. REPRESENTATION OF STOCRPORT.—We again 'Deg to assure our townsmen, that as soon as a vacancy shall be declared, by the resignation of Mr. Cobden., it is the intention of the Conservative party to brint! forward a gentleman whose claims to the suffrages o f the electors will, we think, be not only unquesticiable, but unde niable.—Stockport Advertiser. Forgeries Of the 250 f. notes of the' Bank of Lyons have been made, but they aro so clumsily executed that t h ey may be easily recognised. They are printed on a sheet of white paper, on which a greasy substance has been passed to make the paper transparent and of a greenish yellow colour. The words " Deux Cent Cinquante Francs," and " Bank de Lyon," disappear when the note is held up to the light. Again, in the genuine notes, it is as easy to read on the back as on the front, whilst on the forgeries it is not so. And, finally, the paper of th e f orger i es is soft and yielding.—Galii.

A SFecial Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held on Saturday, at their offices,Villiers • street, Strand,:at one o'clock, for the purpose of con.. firming the resolutions passed at the last meeting, for raising 20,0001. by the creation of new quarter shares. The resolutions to-day submitted for confirmation were those which have caused so many protracted, violent, and adjourned discussions, and which were at one of the former meetings rejected altogether. Mr. W. Hawes occupied the chair. The attend ance of shareholders was not large. The advertisement having been read, The CHAIRMAN simply intimated that the meeting was a special one, called for the purpose of confirming the resolutions agreed to at the last meeting. Mr. BROWNE stigmatised the conduct of the chairman and directors in the whole proceeding as totally opposed to the interests of the company. The chairman by endeavouring to sell the bridge had put several of the shareholders to considerable ex pense in opposing what they considered a wanton act, and one instituted for the purpose of depriving them of their property, and although they had sent a copy of their bill to each of the directors, none of them had had the courtesy to acknowledge its receipt, or to propose any mode of liquinating it. Mr. Browne repeated the statements which he had made at the last meeting with respect to the affairs of the company and the conduct of the directors, and concluded by blaming the shareholders for succumbing to the chairman and directors in the way they had. The resolutions were then confirmed. • Mr. ELKINs wished to be afforded an opportunity of perusing the reports of the committees on which the chairman and directors had based their recommenda tions, and which had induced the shareholders to accede to the propositions contained in them. He also wished to know whether the solicitor of the company was there ex officio, or as a shareholder ? He asked this question, because it ap peared to him that the business they had been called together to transact did not require his presence, and therefore they ought not to be put to the expense of his attendance.—(Hear, hear.) The act was deroga tory to the character of a professional man. It was true there had been occasions on which the atten dance of a solicitor WAS necessary, but this was not one of them. It further appeared to him that the accounts should be further investigated. He wished the directors, however, success in their endeavours to obtain the money they had been compelled to raise. Mr. STITTELEY, the chairman of the Market Com pany, regretted extremely that the chairman had allowed this conversation to take place, because it was altogether irregular. The meeting was merely a special one, and the simple and only question the shareholders had been called together to decide was whether they should or should not confirm the reso lutions refei;ed to. Beyond this they could not proceed, because the new matter had no reference to the business of the day. It would, however, have been otherwise if the advertisement had stated " and for the consideration of other business ;" but as this was not done, and prcperly so, and as no second meeting had been called of a general nature, the gentleman who had spoken was clearly out of order. It was unne cessary for him to make any remarks on the demand made by them to have the accounts further investi gated. Such a demand should have been made at an ordinary general meeting, and not at a special one. Besides, the small attendance showed the shareholders considered that no extraneous subject like this was to be discussed. He felt bound in honour, after what he stated at the last meeting, to attend to-day to support the confirmation of the resolutions. He came to transact no other business beyond this; and if any other matter had been submitted to the meeting, he should have been taken by surprise, and could not, therefore, have given it his support. He felt it his duty to rise and protest against the proceedings which had this day taken place on the part of the two gen tlemen who had addressed the meeting being con strued into a precedent.—(Hear.) If it were so construed, motions might be brought forward with out any previous intimation, and carried without the consent of the body of the shareholders. Mr. BROWNE wished to explain, in reply to Mr. Stuteley, whojhad characterised his conduct as irre gular. He begged to state that he conceived he had a right, as a shareholder, to ask any question of the directors, though the subject to which it had re ference might not be set down in the advertisement calling the meeting. If he had had anything to ask with respect to the Market Company The CHAIRMAN—That is not in order. You have explained. Mr. BRowNE—I have not yet done. The CHAIRMAN—WiII you terminate what you have to say at once ? Mr. BROWNE—I conceive you have no right to dictate to me the nature of my explanation. The CHAIRMAN Undoubtedly, whenever you, or any one else, steps beyond the strict line of expla nation, it is my duty, as chairman, to put an end to it. I appeal to the meeting. I am in your hands. If you think this gentleman has entered sufficiently into his explanation, you will be good enough to say so ; if you think he has not, it is my duty to hear him. Mr. BROWNE—Do not take his advice—do not believe him ; he wishes to keep you under his foot as he has done for years.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") The meeting voted that Mr. Browne should not be heard. The CHAIRMAN then said, as the business was over, he might merely say, in adjourning the meeting, that during the whole period he had had the plea sure of holding the office of deputy chairman of the company it had not been his lot to have such gross statements and charges made against him, to be exposed to so many undeserved insinuations and aspersions, as those to which he had been subjected at the last two or three meetings— charges which all who were acquinted with him and his colleagues who surrounded him knew to be unjust and untrue. He did not trample upon his colleagues —for that was made a charge against him—because they were too independent to truckle to him or any man. The shareholders were not wanting in independence also, for they had out-voted him on more than one occasion. This proved to demonstration that they supported him when his opinions coincided with theirs, and that they did not hesitate to oppose him when the contrary was the case. On such occasions he, as their deputy chairman, felt in duty bound to succumb to their opinions, and to carry them out to the best of his ability, and neither he nor his colleagues wished to possess any power but that which they derived from the shareholders.—(llear, hear.) He felt, therefore, called upon in his own defence to deny the truth of the charg es an d i ns i nuations so improperlyindulged in by the gentleman who had spoken. In reply to the demand of Mr. Elkins he begged to state that the reports to which he referred were merely that of sub-committees, which were not in a state to be presented to the proprietors. He must, therefore, seek them on some other occasion. With regard to the solicitor, he had to state that that gentleman was a shareholder; but if he were not he (Mr. llawes) contended that the legal officer of a com pany generally attended its public and other meet ings.— (Mr. Browne—" No, no ; it is too bad.") But he took it on broader grounds : the directors had bad an important meeting which was attended by the so licitor, and it naturally followed that he should attend the meeting of the shareholders also. Besides, since the commencement of the company, the. presence of the legal officer had always been recognised at the meetings. With respect to the accounts, and in reply to the statements made respecting them, he had to refer the shareholders to the ample financial statements laid before r them. at previous meetings in which:it was stated that the law and Parliamentary proceedings, and with the Market Company, would be about 1,0001. That sum would cover the ex penses incurred. He pointed to these statements, as a reply to the charge that the directors had never rendered an account of the law charges. They all regretted that they had been put to such expenses, but he trusted that the support the company was now receiving from the Mark e t Company—and thein terests of the two bodies were identical—would pre vent any similar expenditure. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chair man and directors, the meeting separated. of Eng lr.nd and France are at The Governments this moment enga ged may at length pr?ve o fo ti r at t i h on e s, settlementwhich we e of tr t u h s e t protracted t Walewski, co-operated Had the French v e o ff . y e i c tLC negotiations, and mischievous, inraisin s g tru t g h g e le i n blockade the River a t M Plate. o n both mischievous and ineffec tual, which waa moror:liinehthhee spirit feared of to hisvio 11-. with Lord oir er structions. .fie he would hi s h tr7c (l t letter of Lord Tlowden, on the other hand, acted with spirit as ,v6l as sense, anti in a way which will tend, we trust, to teal, bring the settlement of affairs in that quarter to a speedy and satisfactory issue. —Observer.

A slight improvement has taken pace in the arrivals of foreign Beasts and Calves, but the condition of the Sheep, Lambs, and Pigs, has again proved very inferior. At the outports, about 1,500 head of stock have been landed, chiefly from Holland. The annexed statement shows the importations of foreign stock from the sth of January to the 10th of October, during the present and the two preceeding years : Oxen Cows Calves Sheep Lambs Pigs 1845. 1846. 1847. 7,384 10,308 22,085 4,106 16,797 28,179 543 1,979 20,313 6,918 51,135 98,020 112 2,443 3,015 530 2,880 743 Total ... 19,593 84,542 172,355 The above shows an increase this year over 1845 of 900, and over 1846 of upwards of 100 per cent. The supply of foreign stock here to-day was by no means so heavy as on some previous market days ; nevertheless, it was seasonably large, viz., 520 Oxen and cows, 1,444 Sheep, and 49 Calves, nearly the whole of which were beneath the middle quality. Still, however, a good clearance was effected at full prices. From our own grazing districts the Bullock droves fresh up this morn ing were considerably less than those reported on this day se'nnight, yet not the slightest improvement was noticed in their weight or condition. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering the Beef trade, arising from the large attendance of both town and country buyers, was very firm, and, in some instances, the quotations had an upward tendency. A few of the very primest Scots sold at 5s per 81bs; but the more general figure for the best Beef was 4s. 10d per Slbi At the close of the market scarcely any of the beasts remained unsold. The arrivals of beasts by drift and railway from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire, consisted of about 1,400 short horns and runts; from the eastern, western, and midland distticts, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots; the remainder of the supply being derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of London. The supply of Sheep was again on the decrease; hence the Mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, the best old Downs, which were unusually scarce, sold at 5s 2d per 81bs, being a slight advance in the currencies ob tained on Monday last. In all other breeds of Sheep a good business was doing, at very full prices. The supply of Calves was by no means large, yet the Veal trade %as in a ,sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. Prime small Porkers were in steady request, at fully previous quotations; otherwise the demand was by no means active at late rates. Per Albs. to si S. d. to s. d.

(Sittings in Banco.) AN ATTORNEY STRUCK OFF TILE ROLLS.—IN RE CHARLES MASSEY WOOD V. PORTARLINGTON. At the sitting of the Court to-day, Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case. He sail—On the first day of the present term an appli cation was made to the Court to rescind a rule which was made absolute last term, directing that Charles Massey, an attorney of this Court, should be struck off the rolls, for attempting to suborn a person named Josiah Wallace, to give false evidence in the case of " Wood v. the Earl of Portarlington. It was an action to recover two bills of exchange which had been drawn upon the defendant, and held by the plaintiff. The Court had looked into the affidavits on the part of the prosecution, and also into those on which they were called upon to rescind the rule. The Court had thought the fact charged proved, and though much imputation was cast upon the general character of Wallace in this proceeding, it appeared to the Court that Mr. Massey had admitted enough in his own affidavit to convict him of the offence with which he was charged. The case was tried at the Summer assizes held at Lewes last year, and Wallace was to be called to testify to the handwriting of the defendant. It appeared that Messrs. Pyne and Richards had been the defendants' solicitors, and that M r . M assey h a d b een emp l oye d by the defendants to conduct this matter. Wallace was their clerk. The deposition drawn up by Massey stated that Wallace would state that he was present when the plaintiff Wood admitted that the bills were given for losses at play, but the words—" Query 51. !" appeared in pencil in the margin. This the Court had thought a bribe given to the witness, for the pur pose of inducing him to give false testimony, and expressed its unhesitating opinion that this was his in tention. He swore he did not know what caused him to write the words : he did not even enter into a conjecture, nor did his counsel offer any plausible excuse in palliation of it. He, however, swore he did not mean to give it as a bribe. With this blot on his conduct—with his memory still at fault, and with a distinct admission of the falsehood of the evidence, the Court was now required to reverse its judgment, and to allow Mr. Massey to practise as an attorney of that Court. The affidavits of Mr. Pyne, who had been struck with paralysis, and who had been unable 1 to attend to his Professional duties during the dis cussion of the rule, stated that a person calling him self Coin, whom he believed to be Wood, called upon thefonner,and admitted that the money was lost at play. Subsequently the deponenti recollected that Wallace was present at two interviews which he had with this person, and added that Wood afterwards called and said he should not proceed, as he had admitted some time before that the bills were given for gambling considerations, and that he led Mr. Massey to believe that Wallace knew these facts. Now there was no proof that the plaintiff had so called, and it was strange that the particulars of these interviews, and the admissions made at them, were not recorded, and if Wallace had been present the Court could not con ceive why his name had not been recorded as a wit ness. But Mr. Pyne did not even now distinctly state that Wallace was present. The Court, there fore, upon a careful consideration of the whole of the facts, had come to the conclusion that Mr. Pyne never gave Mr. Massey such information as that stated, and that if Mr. Pyne had been persuaded he did, that he must have fallen into an error. The affidavits with respect to the character of Mr. Massey were not important. The respectable persons who had pronounced that in their opinion Mr. Massey was incapable of offering a bribe, would, on the other hand, have no reasonable doubt if his handwriting was shown to them that it was his. There was one affidavit which the Court could not [overlook. It was one by a person named Francis Ray. nard, stating that one Frederick Fisher had told him somethin g . Th e statement was one merely ay t h theeo huagr thought to aside a ch wheno e u a r r s t t eetue t that t a formednLd e awran was d ipt ? C c e oo d up inn c si o eo m ln p s; h l e o t au e n l l y dd , not make use of such affidavits, except so far as they strictly relat e d t o t h e subject under debate , or as a means of fixing a date. This affidavit would rather assist than otherwise to strike Mr. Massey off the rolls, as it averred th a t some one had told the defen dant that he (Mr. Massey) had offered 204 to a person to prove the fact he was desirous to prove, but that he declined it. The Court believed that Mr. Massey was guilty of the offence imputed to him. For the penal consequences which might result to him he was alone to blame, and the Court hoped that its decision, with respect to him, would act as a warning to others. They thought that no one should practise in that Court who had committed such an act. Those who thought him worthy of their confidence might employ him in some subordinate ' capacity, but the Court could not allow him to prac tise longer in that court, and to rank with honour able men. The Learned Chief Justice was particularly emphatic at the conclusion of his address. He added, Mr. Massey's name was not struck off the rolls when the order was made. We cannot understand why this was so. We think upon such occasions that the roll ought to be brought before us, and that the name of the person should be struck off in our presence. The name was then struck off the roll by the Master. THE QUEEN V. DOUGLAS. Captain Douglas, the defendant, was found gulty in this Court sometime ago of receiving money f om the Raja of Tangore contrary to the statute and his duty as an officer in the East India Company's service. He now appeared on the floor of the Court ; and The ATTORNEY•GENER.AL (with whom was Sir F. Thesiger) prayed the judgment of the Court upon him.

It was an issuing bank, and its authorised circulation was 24,6921., of which, according to the last returns, it had fully availed itself. Local advances, to an imprudent extent during the present times, are understood to have been the cause of the suspen sion, but it is confidently believed that the partners possess property, and that the liquidation will not prove an unfavourable one. The total debts are re presented to be of moderate amount. Glyn and Co., the London agents are fully covered. Advices from Amsterdam announce the failure of J. H. Rupe and Son, sugar refiners. The liabilities are not stated, but it is feared, from what is known of the business of the house, that they cannot be much below 100,000/. The amount that will fall upon this country is 18,0001. The letters from Liverpool and Manchester con tinue, on the whole, to be of a favourable character. From the latter place an increasing business in pur chases is still spoken of. In letters from Hull it is mentioned, that "although the Bank of England branch keeps up its high rate of discount, the private bankers charge only five per cent. to their regular customers." The private letters from New York by the French steam-ship Alissouri do not bring any intelligence of much importance. At the date of her departure the strongest anxiety was felt as to the character of the news likely to be received by each successive arrival from England. Most persons in America, looking calmly for the last year or two upon our mad career, had anticipated a serious convulsion, but the accounts that had at length reached them had gone beyond their expectations. " A leading London merchant," says one writer, "has written to a friend here, saying that he looked for a crash before many days that would shake the whole community,' and this Ins caused great talk on 'Change, and general alarm. Influenced," it is added, " by a statement of this kind there are many who, instead of remitting to London, in time to provide for acceptances on their account falling due, may be likely to delay them till they hear of such acceptances being actually paid ; thus aiding the catastrophe." With regard to the rate of exchange, it was doubted if it would go higher than the quotation which then prevailed, namely, 9i to "We do not anticipate," it is remarked, " that much specie will be sent to you. Such as goes now is transmitted chiefly by parties who are afraid of all bills, and who do not mind losing the difference. We understand that some of the principal London houses urge their agents to send gold." On the question as to the supply of breadstuffs we have the following paragraph :—" If many bread stuffs are wanted on your side this winter, we think, under the present shattered state of credit, gold must be sent out to buy them. There is a desire to ship flour and grain if advances could be got, but houses feel the necessity of being very guarded." The creditors of S. S. Curtis, hide and leather factor, met to-day, when the statement laid before them showed assets capable of realising 4s. 10d. in the pound on debts and liabilities amounting to be tween 17,000/. to 18,0001. The offer made by Mr. Curtis was to pay a composition of ss. in the pound by instalments, at periods of three, six, and nine months, the last inst a l men t to b e secured; and this proposal, after some discussion, was accepted. It [ appears that the great deficiency in the accounts of Mr. Curtis has arisen from the difficulties encoun tered by him in struggling with the insolvent estate which he took up at the date of his father's decease. Letters from Alexandria to the end of October quote the rate of exchange upon England at 971 to 98. Shipments of grain to this country could be effected at 7s. 6d. per quarter. The markets at this date were rather dull, owing to the unfavourable in telligence of commercial affairs on this; side. COURT CIRCULAR.
