TURKEY.

The last steamer which left Cattaro brought word
that the Montenegrin soldiers had sent some hun-
dreds of Turks' heeds to their villages as trophies of
Prince Daniel's valour. A courier had arrived at
Cattaro with 10,000 ducats, to get change for diatribe-
two among the Montenegrin combatants. A cor-
respondent of the Breslau Journal asserts that these
troubles, and the simultaneous movements in Albania,
Bosnia. and Bulgaria are in the interest of Russia,
which aims at bringing all the not thern provinces of
European Turkey into the same position as Moldavia
and 'Wallachia, and putting Syria oo • par with
Egypt, thus breaking the power of the Porte.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY 31011.11W0.

The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Nye,
Commander, which has so long been delayed by ad-
verse winds, that the greatest anxiety was felt lest
any disaster should have befallen her, arrived in the
Mersey at midnight, with 34 passengers and 130,000
dollars in specie on freight. The Pacific did not sail
from Now York on the appointed day, but remained
until Sunday morning at seven cm.
On the 4th instant the Pacific fell in with the
wretk of the barque Jessie Stephens, of Quebec,
bound for Belfast, dismasted and water-logged. This
was in let. 48, lon. 40. The Pacific took off the crew,
16 in number, and the passengers on board the
steamer, raised a subscription of 500 dollars for the
crew of the boat which went to the rescue.
Discussions relative to the affair of the Crescent
City occupy the New York papers. Capt. Devon-
port has been withdrawn from the command of that
vessel by command of government, and no navy
officer has been since allowed to go out in
her. Whilst the ever-to-be-remembered l'urser

Smith is on board, no mails arc allowed to go
by post, as far as the Crescent City is concered, and
the various insurance offices have declined insuring
the Crescent City ; she has put into port for repairs,
but the Cherokee has been despatched, with Purser
Smith on board; the latter left fur Havannah on the
27th, and the government disavow all responsibility.
When the Pacific sailed, stocks were firm at New
York ; very little business was done, however, as it
was thanksgiving day on Thursday, and a very heavy
rain fell all Friday, and money was very abundant.
The breadstuff market less active, and prices rather
lower than previously reported.

EQUITY COURTS.—YEBTREDAY.
Sanas Vtes-Cumwou.os Sis Geo. Wulira.
FITZWILLIAILS V: /DILLY. _

Hb Honour gave judgment a this case, which was a spe-
cial ease stated for the opinion of the court, upon the con-
struction of a will. The testatrix was the lell.llo of certain
property, the reversion of which was In certain charity
trustees, who were copyholders, and she, as lame, cove-
slated to put in new trustees whenever they were reduced
below a certain number, and pay the amour). fines for the
admission of such new trustees in the Lords court. And
the lease contained a clause of re-entry by the lessees for
breach of this covenant. A fine of 2,0001. had accrued
during the life of the testatrix by reason of this covenant,
and had not been paid at the date of her death ; and
another fine accrued due a ter her death. The
testatrix gave all her leasehold estate and certain shares
in the Chelsea Waterworks (which arc real estate), and all
her personal nta.e to trustees in trust for the plaintiff for
life, and the question was, whether the leaseholds, under
the circumstances, were a specific bequest, and whether the
fines ought to be borne by the general personal estate, or be
a charge upon the leasehold estate. Ilia Honour, after
commenting upon the will and the eases, held that the be-
quest of the leaseholds was specific, and that the fine which
had accrued due during the life of the testatrix was a debt
which must be borne by the general personal estate, inde-
pendent of the leaseholds, but that the fine which accrued
due after the death of the testatrix must be borne by the
leasehold estate, she having in effect given only the lease-
hold estate, with all the incidents attaching thereto, one of
which was that it was &feasible unless this fine was paid.

defendant, entitled " Switzerland and Savoy," and from
selling any other work containing any article, matter. or
thing, copied or token from the plaintiff's work called " A

Mr. Bacon and Mr. Rensbawe appeared in support of the
'intim, and said it was not alleged that the defendant's
work was an exact copy of any portion of the plaintiff's,
but that there was so much similarity in a cumber of the
passages as to lead to the inference that the plaintiff's book
had been extensively used in the compilation of the de-
fendant's.

iIITCUIIIII T. 131LOWITILANY.A.CTIOXII IX RAILWAY

The plaintiff in this case is the son of a solicitor at Lin-
coin, and the defendant is a sharebroker. In 1845 the
plaintiff was possessed of a letter of allotment foe 200 Goole
and Doncaster Railway Company shares, which he was de-
sirous to exchange fur scrip. In order to do this, however,
it was neeemary to pay the deposit of two guineas a share,
and he applied to the defendant to advance him
the necessary amount upon security of the letter
of allotment. The defendant did not like this se-
curity, but he advanced the money upon having the
further security of 100 Goole and Doncaater shares and 150
W Warwick and orcester shares, whilst the letter of allot.
ment was taken to be exchanged for scrip. The plaintiff's
case was that this scrip was to be sold by the defendant at
once, and that the deposited shares were to be returned.
At this time the shares were at a premium, but shortly
afterwards they fell in price, and the plaintiff now con-
tended that the defendant ought to hare sold at once, and
he claimed upwards of 1,7001. for the differenv between
the then price end the sum for which they were ultimately
sold, with the value of some shares which were not re-
turned.
The defendant and his brother were called in answer to
this case, and they stated that there was no agreement that
the 200 hares should be sold immediately and the others
returned, and that the defendant had acted in the matter
according to the plaintiff's directions.
The jury found a verdict for the defendant.
