think. Ton must leave the management of the whole
matter to parlizeneet. I don't want you to tell them
what they are to do. They are in • condition
to know much better than we what steps should
be taken. I merely wish to tell them our opinion

should desire in the immense area I have to address, but
still distinctly I tell you I believe the time is come for
sin acknowledgment of the independence of the South.
That England, by so doing, wili be carrying out the great
mission she bee to advance, and protect mankind ; that if
she do ro she will benefit not, only herself but the world at
large. Therefore I should advise you to say that in your
opinion the Confederate States of America should at once
be acknowledged to bean independent nation. (Cheers.)
The Rev. J. Y. MOPES moved the following resolution
" That in the opinion of this meeting the government of
this country would act wisely, both for the interests of
England and those of the world, were they immediately to
enter into negotiation.s with the great powers of Europe, for
the purpose of obtaining the acknowledgment by them of
the indenendence of the Confederate States of North
America."
The motion was seconded b Mr. MICHAEL MEAL.
The Rev. J. Corium! (Wesleyan Free Church) moved
the following amendment :—" That this meeting records its
high admiration of the honourable neutrality hitherto main-
tained by the government in relation to the dreadful civil
war now raging on the American continent, and earnestly
hopes that the some policy of nonintervention will be pur-
sued in future."
Mr. W. J. CLEGG seconded the amendment ; but the rests-
Intim was carried.

This was an appeal by the defendants, the Great Western
Railway Company, from au order of the Vico-Chetweallor
Stuart, refusing to vary the certificate of his chief clerk
recently made in the suit. The object of the snit was to
obtain payment for the amount due to the plaintiff under
certain contracts entered into by him with the company for
the construction of portion, of their line of railway, or for
an account. By the decree made on the hearing of the
cause in the month of May, 1855, an inquiry wu directed
as to whether any and what sum remained due to the plain- '
tiff in respect of the work, executed and material supplied
under his contracts with the defendants. The chief clerk
allowed in respect of the plaintiff's claim against the
company sums amounting together to the sum of
147,5381. The objection of the appellants to the certificate
was that it certified a lump sum to be due from them to
the plaintiff, without showing with sufficient minuteness
the items or particulars of what that sum was composed.
Mr. Bacon, Q.C., Mr. Nebo., Q.C., and Mr. T. Stevens
in support of the appeal; the Solicitor-General,
.spared in
Q.C., and Mr. F. C. J. Miller for the
pl
Their lordships were of opinion that the appellants were
entitled to know with greater distinetcees what were the
particulars in question, and directed for that purpose that
the order of the Vico- Chancellor and the certificate ofghie
chief clerk should be discharged, the costs of all parties to
the present appeal, and before the Via-Chancellor, to be
leads in the cause.

The bill in this case was filed to enforce the rival& per-
formance of an agreement dated February, 1846, whereby
the Churnet Valley Railway Company agreed to give John
Earl of Shrewsbury 20,0001. over and above the ordinary
compensation for land and severance, this sum being a
douceur to him for not opposing the bilL That company
failed to obtain its hill, and the South Staffordshire Railway
was formed, which took upon itself the liabilities and rights
of the Churnet Valley Company, and when the South Staf-
fordshire Company's bill was before parliament, a sup-
plemental agreement dated January, 1848, was en-
tered into, whereby the company agreed to pay 20,0001.
for the benefit of the earl and his encoessors
to the estates settled on the earldom. The 20,0001. has
been paid nor the interest. After the death of Earl
John a suit was instituted by his successor, Earl Bertram
Arthur, by his next friend, but Earl Bertram dying in 1856
before the canoe came on fora hearing the came abated. The
present suit was instituted by the present earl, and it now
came on on demurrer, the demurrer being to that part of
the prayer of the bill which prayed that the bill might if
thought proper and necessary be regarded as a supplemental
bill to that filed by Earl Bertram.
The Solicitor-General, Mr. Glasse, and Mr. Bovill ad.
dressed the court in support of tho demurrer.
The rice-Chancellor, without calling on Mr. Bally and
Mr. Wickens, who appeared for the plaintiffs, said he was
of opinion the demurrer must be overruled. When Earl
Bertram died the plaintiff succeeded to the tide and estate,
and whatever right, if any, Earl Bertram bad to relief in
his suit, the present earl, subject to the question of the
statute of limitations, was entitled to. It we. impossible
to conceive a more inconvenient mode of raising the ques-
tion than by demurrer, and he was of opinion the demurrer
must be overruled, but without prejudice to any question
that might arise in the case.

TATTERSALL'S. -TUBSDAY.

Settling on the grand events at Epsom was resumed to- I
day with an alacrity which told that, is the language of
foreign stock exchange telegrams, mosey was abundant.
The amount of money which changed heads was enormous,
and when we state that one well-kuown " commissioner "
dealt with the enormous sum of 200,000/., some idea may
be formed of the importance ate Derby and Oaks settling.
Yet notwithstanding the heavy nature of the transactions
there was not a complaint u to tardiness on the part of any
one, and in further proof of the punctuality with which
racing men meet their engagements, there was not a single
absentee who was not represented by his own special agent.
But little attention was paid to betting during the more
important business of the afternoon but before the room
was closed we were enabled to compile the following list of
quotations on forthcoming events which took place towards

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, • jockey,

cover the sum of RV. 19s. for work done. The cam was
tried before Mr. Justice Wightman. at Guildhall, when •
verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the amonat
claimed. A rule was subsequently obtained by Mr.
Hawkins, Q.C., on the ground that the verdict was spinet
evidence, surprise, and upon affidavits.
To-day the court made the rule absolute for a new trial
unless the plaintiff consented to • stet proceasus.
Rule accordingly.

HARRINGTON AND RITE r. BIERS.
Mr. Berjeant Shea said this was an action for alleged
negligence against an attorney, tried before Mr. J ustice
Wigtitman, at Guildhall. when the jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff, damages 100/. He moved for a rule to
show muse why a nonsuit should not be entered, or a new
trial bed, pursuant to leave reserved. The action was for
negligence against an attorney, after having obtained a ver-
dict for 1001. damages in an action for breach of promise of
marriage brought by the female plaintiff before her marriage
with the plaintiff, against a person named Xarkea, in not
entering up judgment and issuing elocution.
Rule greeted.

HAM 0. TRI LONDON AND NORTH WEBTXRN RAILWAY

COMPAZT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, residing
in London, who late out dresses, ko., for prooes-
dons, to recover compensation for damage sustained
through the delay in the delivery of certain dresses, banners,
he., required for a Foresters' procession at Seaham on the
10th August last. They were forwarded on that night, but
did not reach Sedum until four days after the procession
was over. To reach Seabam they had to be forwardediroar
Newcastle or Sunderland by carrier, and bad they been sent
to the latter place instead of the former they would have
reached Sedum in time. The company contended that as
the goods were forwarded in the usual and ordinary course,
the plaintiff having neglected to state they were wanted by
• particular day, they were not liable. The case was tried
at Guildhall before tho Lord Chief Justice, when the jury
returned • verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 25/. Sub's-
queatly Mr. Bovill obtained • rule for a new trial, on the
ground that the verdict was against evidence.
Mr. Pearce 'bowed cease against the rule, contending
that the goods ought to have been sent to Sunderland instead
of round by Newcastle. The plaintiff not only lost his
prods on the one transaction at &sham on the 10th of
August, but other engsgemeote also.
Mr. Bovill, Q.C., with whom was Mr. C. Pollock, said
the jury found 5/. for the first loss and 201. for the special
lose, for which it was contended the company were not
liable. If the obligation on the company was only to carry
in their usual and accustomed course, and it was the duty of
the person sending to inquire when the goods would arrive,
then the company were entitled to the verdict ; but If they
werebound to tell the sender when the goods would arrive,
thin the company were liable. At all events they were
not liable for the special damages.
The Lord Chief Justice said that by one route the delay
arose—the carrier leaving for &ahem every other day. In
the other case there was • daily carrier, and the jury con.
sidered it was bat reasonable to expect that the goods
@horrid be forwarded with reasonable despatch. London
tradesmen could not be expected to know the movements of
carriers in connexion with railways.
Mr. Justice Wightman said • tradesman could hardly
dream that hit goods would le delayed so long in treed%
ander the usual and customary course adopted by railways.
—The Court said there was unreasonable delay here, and
the plaintiff was entitled to something.
Rule absolnte to reduce the damages to 51.

This was as action to recover damages for the false ism
primmest of a little boy seven years old.
Mr. Seerant Parry and Mr. Griffits appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Beet for the defendant.
The child was the sou of a mechanic living in the neigh-
bourhood of Nothing-bill, when the defendant earned on
the business of a builder ; and it happened that when play-
leg with some other boys in a field, a piece of wood
was taken from a shed, and the plaintiff's boy took the
wood home. The defendant threatened to lock the boy up
for stealing the wood, and thereupon his father
said be had enty of money to pay, and throwing
some gold upua the table told the defendant to take
the price of the wood out of it. The defen-
dant irritated at this did actually lock the boy up, though
warned by the inspector to consider what lie was doing ;
