A long discussion ensued, to the coarse of which Mr.
Bremey stated that the lessees had already sustained a eely
ass siderable loss—such a loss, in fact, an he saw so chance
of their beiag able to amend during the time of their lease.
They had dome their beat to develop the traffic in the dock,
and they had does a large badness, though at a very
disproportionate profit. He was quite sure that it was to
the Lateral of the abareholders to accept the proposal DOW
node to them. He had been for three years negotiating
with the other dock companies, and proprietor should un-
derstand that no one was more interested in the MOM of
the arrangement than the lessees themselves. (Hear.)
Mr. Sources then moved a second amendment to the
elect bat this meeting, while willing to dispose of the pro-
perty. is of opinion that the sum of 107/. 10s., payable in

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH GAROTTERS•

About 12 o'clock on Saturday night, Mr. Pegg,
of the Arm of Mews. Pegs and Chapman, hosiers, left the
Blue Lice Hotel, Leicester, toga lime. From here he
appears to have thee followed by four men into King.
street, up which Mr. Pegg proceeded to get to his resi-
dence. in the South Fields. On nearing the bottom of
Priscessotheet, where a number of streets converge, Mr.
Pegg noticed the men following him, sod thinking that
they probably meant foul play, he drew out of his packet
a clasp knife, which he appeared determined to use as a
dagger, in clue of an attack being made. Beltway had be
assumed the defensive, than he felt a sudden jerk from
behind, and he found that be was surrounded by the five
individuals who had followed him. Mr. Pegg wrestled with
them as best b• could, sad stabbed at the fellows with
his knife, but aotwithelanding that some of them must
have received frightful wounds in the lower parts, they did
not relax their efforts, for they succeeded in pulling Mr.
Pegg backwards by the back of his coat collar, while others
ripped open his top coat, and divesting him of hie gold
watch and chain, valued at about zt., they decamped down
one of the numerous streets at that point (Martinis-street)
towards the Welford-road. On Kr. Pegg reaching home,
although he received but little injury from his assailants, he
found his clothes completely saturated with blood, thus
proving that the blows he dealt with his knife produced
telling effect. A portion of the point of the knife had broken
of with the violence of the stabs, so it may be presumed
that some of the garottes-
are still meeting from the in-
juries they received.

the answer to the question put to them in the case must be
in the affirmative. The question was whether the plain.
tiffs were entitled to an immediate transfer to them of
42,670 acres of land, granted by the government of New
Brunswick to the defendants, free from debenture and other
debts and liabilities which hod been incurred by the defer,.
dents subsequent to the transfer to them of the
railway undertaking mentioned in the case. It
that the St. Andrew's Company had under.
appeared
make a railway in New Brunswick, and they,
having carried on the undertaking so far as their capital
would permit, then lied recourse to means to induce other
capitalists to advance their capital to go on ; and afterwards
to induce English capitalists to advance mosey. Class A
company wee formed with considerable nights and privileges
in reference to the funds of the compan7, such as were
usually given when • ooncern was failing for want of
money, and other persons were to be induced to come into
the concern. His lordship, after going through the cir.
cumetances at len, concluded by expressing his opinion
in favour of the pWntiffs.
Judgment for the plaintiffs.
Yr. Coleridge, who appeared for the plaintiffs, said that
it was part of the arrangement that • mandamus should
issue to enforce the judgment.
The Lord Chief Justice said that no doubt the judgment
of the court would be carried out without • mandamus, bat
if necemary a mandamus would isms.

THE REPRESENTATION OF CAMBRIDGE.

We understand that Colonel Adair has retired,
and that Mr. Fawcett is now the only liberal candidate in
the field. We bear that the liberal' united can undoubt-
edly carry their man. It is much to be hoped that the mis-
take of the last election will not be repeated.
In an address issued last evening, Kr. Fawcett says
that he will give an independent support to Lord
Palmerston. " Some minor measures of his administration

(he adds) I may object to, but I hope he may continue in
power u long a: his health is preserved, homage I believe
that no other prime minister could more effectually main.
tain the honour and secure the welfare of Ragland in a dif-
ficult crisis of foreign politics. I should, moreover, be in-
duced to support the present administration, because T
believe the beat interests of England would rafter if Fir!
Russell were displaced at the Foreign-office." Mr. Faw-
cett prooeeds to say that he will support the
economical administration of the public Spawn, that he

will cordially support any plan that will lead to a set-
tlement of the church•rate dispute, being of opinion that
the continuance of church rates perpetuates discord, which
is detrimental to the cause of religion. "If, however," con-
tinues Mr. Fawcett, " compromise is impossible, I should
unhesitatingly vote for their abolition." Mr. Fawcett
argue* further, that the patience and fortitude shown by
the Lancashire operatives justifies an extension of the suf-
frage, and says that he should be in favour of the removal
of all restrictions that at present prelude the admission of
dissenter, at =Hague.

is to be acquired of • tract of 116 acres, fora consi-
deration of 5,5001., of which 2,5001. is to be paid
in cash, and 3,0001. in paid-up shares. Before
bringing the undertaking before the public, the
directors have caused several trial pits to be sunk at
the base of the mountain, whence copper ore has
been taken, and its value proved by analysis. The
directors further state that they " invite the
strictest inquiry as to the property," especially
considering the small sum they have to pay
for it. They lay strew also upon the selection for
mining captain of Mr. C. B. Dyer, who was for
many years manager of the Great Parr Mine, ad-

NEW YORK, JAS. 16.
Jefferson Davis's message has been sent in to the
Confederate Congress.
He declares the anxiety of the South for peace,
but says that ita determination against tsubmission
is unalterable. He denounces the conduct of the
Union armies as atrocious and cruel. Referring
to Mr. Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, he
says he may well leave it to the instincts of the
common humanity of men of all countries to pass
judgment upon a measure by which millions
of human beings of inferior race, peaceful and
contented labourers in their sphere, are doomed to
extermination, while they are encouraged to commit
assassination by an insidious recommendation to
abstain from violence unless in self-defence. Com.
missioned Federal officers attempting to execute the
proclamation will, if captured, be delivered to the
State authorities to be dealt with according to the
State laws for the punishment of criminals exciting
insurrection.

TIOLIWT OUTRAGE IN COURT.

Henry Moore, 24, a shoemaker, was indicted for 'tailing
igtof boom, value 3a., the property of Edward Wm.
The prosecutor is a eheseemonter, living at 4. Little Earl-
'treat, and the prisoner took the beam from the stall out•
Ode prosecutor's shop, and ran off with it.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
A policeman said that he had known the prisoner for
years as a thief and a companion of thieves. About two
years ago he had aloe months from the Middlesex ;Sessions,
sad since be had been released he bad been an expert
thief and pickpocket.
Mr. Payne sentenced him to be kept in peas! servitude
for mix years.
The prisoner, when the verdict was given, hurled with
almost superhuman force a piece of cut iron at the witness,
which fortunately missed him, but smashed a square of
glass in one of the large windows, and made an indentation
about half an inch in the sash behind. The missile was
about two inches and a half long, about as much wide, and
half an inch thick, aid weighed about 10 ounces. Had it
struck the witness the consequences must have inevitably
been most serious, if not of a fatal character. The Unread
edge ordered the circumstance to be reported to the visiting
=tires of the House of Detention, where the prisoner had
n in custody. and a strict investigation will be made as to
how a prisoner, sent toe trial from that prison, could have

THE QUEEN OF SPAIN AND THE

CONGREM.

The Epoca of Nov. 20 publishes the reply of the
Queen of Spain to the Emperor Napoleon's letter of
invitation to a congress. It runs as follows :

Sir my brother,—The very important letter which you
have been so good as to address to me from Paris, under
date the 4th of this month, could not but be takers into
consideration both by me and my government. I consider
your Majesty's project very laudable in aiming at the corn_
pletely pacific solution of the arduous political questions
which now keep the peoples in profound agitation.
In order that calm be restored, may Providence deign to
accord to your Majesty the happiness of seeing your projects
realised, and aid in subduing the immense difficulties which
the strife of adverse interests always brings with it.
I agree with your Majesty that the treaties of 1815 are
attacked by the debility produced by time and nee, besides
the forced influence of serious events which, in many oases,
have resulted in notorious and capital infractions of their
letter and spirit.
1 also agree with you that if war has always been a great
calamity for peoples, it would be still more so now on ac-
count of the disastrous perturlmtion that it would produce
among nations every day more closely united by the commu-
nity of their moral and material interests.

Consequently if your Majesty's idea be rosined by
the assembly of the European powers in a pacific cooper,
I do not hesitate to afford your Majesty the insurance,
in 000 cert with my government, that Spain will par.
ticipate therein, either at Paris or at any other point that
may be selected for the deliberations; and that Spain will
cause her voice to be beard is words of justice, peace, and
concord, contributing within the limits of her conciliatory
councils to the pacific solution of the serious questions which
the congress has in view, is order to consolidate peace and
tranquillity in the old and new world.

I Profit by this opportunity to renew to your Imperial
Majesty the assurances of my consideration and sincere
friendship, of which I am, sir my buother,
Your Majesty's good sister,

EQUITY OOURTS.—Duo. 4.
(Before V es-Chancellor Stuart)
DM= r. 111DBOROUGH.
.1410 question in this case was, whether a dspeeit of 9161.,
paid into court bi Mr. Diu. Boucimult, in respect of some
=LIy in the Haymarket, contracted to be purchased by
the New theatre Company (Limited), was for-
feited or not
It appeared that the property was put up for sale, under
an order of this court, on the 26th February, 1863, and
that by the 1311 condition of sale it wan provided " that,
if any purchaser should not pay his purchase•moosy by the
Marcia-mentioned time, or any other time which ought be
named for that purpose, and in all other respect. perform
those comlitious, au order might be made by the judge at
ehambers, for the re-sale of the property purchased sad
for paymiat by bin. of the deficiency (if say) in the price
which might be obtained on such retalir, and of all costa
and eipenfes occuioned by such default." On the 15th
March, 1,63, Hr. Boucicalt was certified to be the pac-
esetter of the propeity for the sum of 9244/. He then paid
the above ineutomal deposit into court ' • but before the
parches. woo completed he became bankrupt. His
assignees declined to elect to complete hi. contract ; and
therefore :he court yesterday ordered the re-WO of the

property.
Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. Pemberton now roored for so
ender 4ln:hiring that the deposit was forfeited to the
vendor. .

Mr. 'Wins, Q.C., and Mr. Swanstoo, for the exegeses
to bankruptcy of Mr. Boucicault, contended that the con-
ditions of sale contained no provinoe for the forfeiture of
Oho deposit ; that the vendor was to be iodemodied against
any outs and expenses that might arise upon the re-isle ;
and therefore the deposit wan not forfeited ; except so far
ea
it might be rec uir,d to meet such costa and expenses.
The Vice-Chancellor, after observing upon the distinction
between :be case of a penon entering into a instead, and
himself being guilty of • default in the com-
pletion of it, and that of a person so con-
Undies, ant afterwards becoming a bankrupt,
when the right to complete the contract pawed from
Sim to his snipe's., said, the 13th condition in this
Mee was .lot intended to apply to the bankruptcy of • par-
dieser. the payment of a deposit was exacted by way of
liseefit to the vendor, and to guarantee to him the fulfilment
of the contract. Here there had been • breech of the con-
trut on the put of Mr. Boucicault, and his assignees had
anbacquetitly declined, when they had the right of comple-
ting, to perform it. Bat if the breach of the contract by
Mr. Bom.icault would not as it could not, have entitled
Win to reclaim the deposit, how could his assignees, who had
&dined to take up his contract, be now entitled to it? IJpoe
Ole whole osae his Honour was of opinion that the deposit
was forfeited to the vendor, and that being so, time moat
be a declaration accordingly.
