THE CONVERSION OF THE FOUR-AND-A.
HALF PER CENT. RENTES.
PARIS, iAIII. ?S.

The Monitenr of to-day publishes the bill for
the optional conversion of the Four-and-a-Half
per Cent. Routes.
The new bonds will bear interest from the let of
April next. The interests will be payable quar-
terly.
Applications for conversion must be made within
one mouth from the date of the promulgation of
the present law.
An imperial decree will fix the difference (arnate)
which the holders of the Four-and-a-Half per
Cent. Rentes will have to pay. .

- -
The Moniker publishes an explanation of the
motives of the conversion, of which the following
are the salient points :
Holders of Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bente
who might wish to convert their bonds into Three
per Cent. Rents by buying the latter on the Bourse
would have to pay a difference of 8 francs.
They will, therefore, willingly agree to pay to
the state a sum below this figure. The
result of the operation will be to reduce
the rate of discount, and to afford industry and
great enterprises facilities for providing themselves
with all necessary capital. The operation is not an
expedient to meet the temporary wants of the
treasury, but is conceived in the interest of
public prosperity. The obligations trentenaires
ma be exchanged for the New Throe per Cent.
Rentes at the rate of 20fr. Rents for each obliga-
tion, without the payment of any difference. A
delay of two months will be granted to holders of

THE MURDER AT CHESTERFIELD.

CHESTERFIELD, THURSDAY.
Late last night, the police under Mr. Superin-
tendent Bradford succeeded in apprehending two Irishmen
of notorious character, on suspicion of being the murderers
of George Cooper. These two men, who are named Thomas
Flannery and John Ball, answer the description given by
the young woman Holt in their personal appearance ; but
hitherto she has not been shown the men, as the police have
ascertained that the clothes they wore on Monday night
have been concealed, and it is cousklered desirable to have
them dressed in those clothes before they are shown to the
young woman to ascertain if she can recognise them. In
personal appearance the taller man, Flannery, very closely
answers Holt's descriptions, one point being that the taller
man—as described by Holt—had a short board and no
whiskers, which is the case with Flannery. When appre-
hended and questioned as to where they had been on the
night of the murder, the prisoners gave contradictory
accounts. Both men were brought up before W. Drabble,
EN., ermayor, this morning, and remanded until to-
morrow (Friday), after the adjourned inquest, which will
be held at 10 o clock to-morrow morning. A dense crowd
of Irish. who number between 2,000 and 3,000 in the town,
surrounded the Municipal-ball during the hearing of the
case.

THE RAILWAY FROM ROME TO NAPLES.

NAPLES, Nov. 29.

The railway from Rome to Naples will certainly
be opened at the beginning of the month. The
fares are 35fr. Ist class, and 25fr. 2nd class. There
will be two trains a day, and the time will be ten
hours. It is intended at a future period to run
express trains, which will perform the journey in
six or seven hours. It is delightful to think that
the long protracted opposition of the Pope to rail-
way communication has at length broken down
before the necessities of the times, and that hence-
forth the public may travel from Rome to Naples
between breakfast and dinner at the cost of 11.

THE COWARDLY GAROTTERS.

TO YRS XDITOR OF THIS ICINSESS.
Slit,—On Tuesday last, at 10 p.m., a young man
of 18 was walking quickly along Tower-greet, Loodon-
field', towards Clapton, when a coarse-looking ruffian sud-
denly darted into his pathway brandishing a stick, stopping
bin, with, " do." At the same instant be observed
three other fellows emerging from the dark shelter of some
shrubs in a forecourt, close behind him, and in another
moment they would all four have closed upon him, but
having had some misgivings lately when passing through
' this dull locality, he mostly carries a spring-book knife open,
with the blade concealed up the right sleeve of his coat—
providentially he wu so armed on this occasion, and Seeing
his peril, he without an instant's parleying struck the fore-
most fallow a swinging blow with it on his breast, cumin
bim to fall back, exclaiming, " He has hit me!" The young
man at once stalled oti, running for his life, closely followed
by three of the fellows, who chased him for about a quarter
of a mile to nearly the Higb.street of Hackney, when they
turned back, running away as fast as they could. To the
first man be met (who, he thinks, was a policeman, but
owing to his fright and the darkness of the plus be cannot
speak positively on this point) he detailed these facts,
whoa the ooly reply he got was, "Ah ! I daresay—very
likely. 1813811 be round that way presently myself, and
perhaps I shall see something of them." I trouble you
with these particulars, trusting you will find space for them
in your valuable paper, in order that the unwary traveller
may be put upon his guard, and more effectual means
adopted for his protection, when compelled to moss the
dismal London-fields after dark.—l sin.

THE INSECURE STATE or TILE 14Ernoroma—At s
meeting of the vestry of St. George's, Hanover-square,
yesterday, the vestry clerk read the memorial adopted by
the vestry of Paddington, calling the attention of the
Home Secretary to the alarming increase of garotting in
the metropolis, asking the sanction of that vestry to the
memorial. The general opinion of the meeting seemed to
be that the memorial wes not strong enough, and that the
ticket of leave system was not sufficiently condemned. It
was resolved to agree to the Paddington memorial, and to
drew up a second memorial to the Home Secretary, praying
that convicts under sentence should be no longer pam-
pered with such liberal diets, and in all other respects
treated better than paupers, that the ticket of leave sys-
tem should be abolished, and that sentences should be fay
carried out

iuto an engagement with the deceased to become his house-

wife ; the deceased passing as Mrs. Ruttinger, and wearing
a wedding ring and keeper, as the plaintiff stated in his
evidence. There were differences between them, and sews-
tines. After the last separation the deceased went to the
Queen Charlotte Lying-in Hospital, where she was con-
fined in May, 1802, and died, leavieg • son. The
child, it was asserted by Mrs. Temple, on her
daughter's statement, was the plaintiff's ; but that
he denied. At • meeting of the friends after her death it
was arranged that the plaintiff should take care of the
child and should have the money (the •mount of which was
not then known) which the deceased had deposited in a
savings bulk. They only believed at that time that she
was possessed of a watch and some trifling articles of
jewellery. The child only lived for eight or nine weeks,
and on its death Mrs. Temple took out letters of administra-
tion, and then it was discovered there was 961. in the bank,
which the mother kept. The plaintiff denied flint be was

and he would have got 1,000/. and the Temple family 2001.

lived. By the bargain with the defendant he was to main-
tain the child so long as it lived—for ever. (Laughter.)
The defendant denied the arrangement, and claimed to
deduct certain charges for the funeral, Sm. The ease de-
pended much upon documents that had passed between the
plaintiff and the deceased.
Ultimately a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for
244., with leave to the defendant to move.

TWO MURDERS IN LIVERPOOL.

Yesterday morning, a shocking murder was per-
petrated at Liverpool, the victim being the wife of • tinker
named Read, residing at No. 7, Lower Myrtle-street, off St.
Anneatreet. From the facts which are at present known
it appears that Read, his wife, and a son about eleven years
of age, resided in the cellar of the house in Myrtle-street,
and that yesterday (Thursday) morning • police officer was
accosted by • young woman, who informed him that •
woman had been stabbed io No. 7, Lower Myrtle-street.
The constable at once went to the house, where he found
the deceased, Ann Read, lying on the floor, bleeding from
• wound under the left arm. He procured the assistance
of Drs. Nieven and Jones, who accompanied him to the
residence of the deceased. Every effort was made to revive
the poor woman and stop the bleeding, but without avail,
and she died immediately after the arrival of the doctors.
People in the immediate neighbourhood state that they
beard • cry of murder early in the morning, and that they
believe it must have come from the hoes* occupied by the
deceased. Reed and his son have absconded, and, not-
withstanding the vigilance of the police, have not, up to
the time of the departure of our parcel, yet been apple.
heodi victim of the *wood murder is also a
woman. Her name was Isabella Tongue, and she
cohabited with a man named Thomas Edwards,
a butcher, who, however. iostsad of making a living by
following his trade, supported himself on the earnings of his
paramour's prostitution. Lest Thursday morning, about
of o'clock, while Edwards, the deceased, Jane Wilson, and
• man narnoi Thomas Sullivan, • ticket-of-leave man, were
aitting round the fire in a house in Norburyaireet, Edwards
seized butcher's knife, and rushed at Tongue, whom be
stabbed is nineteen places. He also stabbed Wilson and
Sullivan, but not very seriously. The unfortunate woman
Tongue never rallied, but died yesterday morning. An
inquest was held yesterday, when a verdict of " Wilful
murder" was returned against Edwards, who, instead of
appearing affected at his position, said that he was very glad
that be had done for her," " that be had made his peace
with God, and didn't care a whether be was hanged or
not. He intended to kill her, and was glad that she was
dead."

SOUTHWARK.

Mr. Edward Wood, a..---t contractor for the parish of
Bermondsey, surrendered to his recogoisances for further
examination, charged with feloniously receiving 801. in gold,
the property of Mary fiteddolph, wholesale confectioner,
Bermondsey New-road, well knowing it to be stolen, under
the circumstances already fully reported.
Some further discussion now took place, which resulted
in the case being sent before a jury.

WANDSWORTH.
James Steele, • plate-layer on the South Western Railway,
appeared before Mr. Ingham to answer an adjourned sum-
mons for unlawfully assaulting Mr. Edward Wood, •
farmer, at Marton.
The evidence went to show that on Sunday morning, the
god tilt., the complainant beard the firing of a double shot
in the direction of his own ground, or on the Duke of Cam-
bridge's preserves. He imonediately went out and saw two
men on the duke's land. One was carrying a double-barrelled
gun, and the other a stick. He asked them what right they
had to be there, and they inquired his right. He told them
that be had a certificate, and that they had no right to shoot
on • Sunday. He followed them for the purpose of obtain-
ing
their names, and they went on to the South-Western
Railway. He also went on to the line for some distance,
and saw the defendant talking to another man. The de-
fendant allowed the two men to pass, bat he went up to
the complainant and asked him where be was going ? He
told him after the two poachers, but be refused to allow
him to pass, and took bold of him by his coat on each side
of his throat. He also said that he should not go along
the line, end that it was • 51. penalty. After a struggle
the complainant got away into the Duke of Cambridge's
field, and be went to the pointeman et the Wim-
bledon junction for the purpose of ascertaining the name
of the defendant, who again attempted to stop him from
going on to the line. The defendant endeavoured to prove
that be was authorised by the company's by-laws to pre-
vent trespassing, but the pointaman elated that the de-
fendant had no right on the line on Sundays, and further
that he was some distance from the place where he
worked. The pointaman also proved seeing the defendant
in company of two men on the line, and that about an hour
afterwards he returned by himself.
One of the officers of the court proved that the defendant
had been fined for trespassing in search of game, in con-
junction with a man named Bones, who the enmplaioaut
said was one of the two men he saw on the Duke of Cam-
bridge's land.
Mr. Ingham believed the defendant was connected rith
the two poachers, and fined him 40a. 'admits, the penalty
he would have imposed for poaching.
The money was paid.

A PRITIIGN OF RIGHT.

The plaintiff in tiiiscase....,ort;rseiiiialley Irwin, by his
declaration, complained that the Home Secretary bad re-
tuned to lay before the Queen a petition of right, and for
this refusal he claimed damages 100,0001.

The defendant pleaded not
The plaintiff appeared in person, and the Attorney-Ge-
neral and Mr. T. Jones represented the defendant.
The plaintiff addressed the jury, informing them that the
action was brought under the Common Law Procedure Act,
1834,and the Petitions of Rights Act of 1860, commonly
known as Mr. Bovill's Act, and the petition of right in ques-
tion prayed for a jury for the purpmeof enforcing an award
made by the present Lord Westbury some four years ago.
He also detailed the history of his affairs for many years
past, and the state of the law previous and subsequent to
Mr. Bovill's Act.
In the course of the address Lord Palmerston and the
Lord Chancellor took their seats upon the bench. Sir
G. C. Lewis, Mr. Walpole, Mr. Waddington, and other
official gentlemen, were also in court.
As far as could be gathered it seemed that the plaintiff's
claim arms out of these circumstances. In 1832 lie was an
assistant banister in Ireland, but was convicted of a relate-
wartime for deceiving the government by sending in the
resignation of another official without authority. The re.
preseutatives of the government failed to produce on the
trial and also on another trial for perjury arisiug out of it
certain letters, end the plaintiff contended that in con-
sequence of this non-production he had to submit to •
sentence of nine months imprisonment and a hoe of 101.
The damage that he sustained was that his father diverted
away from him the descent of an estate worth 40,0601,
and this amount he asked by his petition of right to he
allowed to claim from the crown, together with 30.0001. for
loss of enjoyment of the property, and 30,0001. for injury
to his professional prospects, &a The plaintiff's speee.
was of a very diffused character, and was protracted, in
spite of repeated exhibitions of impatience on the pact of

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAY.)

EQUITY COURTS.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEALS IN BANKRUPTCY.
EXPART6 PAGE-Rl2 NT.AL

This was an appeal against an order of Mr. Commissioner
Sanders, at Birmingham, refusing an application for an adjudi-
cation of a bankrupt. It appeared that a deed of arrange-
ment had been entered into by a majority of the creditors
under the 199th section of the Bankruptcy Act of 1861 ; and
the registrar had given his certificate in the usual; way.
Some of the creditors being desirous to adjudicate the
debtor bankrupt, the entering into en arrangement under
a ti art deed being technically an act of bankruptcy, applici
for that purpose, but the commissioner held that tho cer-
tificate of the registrar was sufficient es4ence of the
validity of the deed, and refused to make an order of
adjudication.
Mr. De Ger, who appeared for the appeal, was proceeding
to reed an affidavit showing the facts as they appeared
before the commissioner, when
Mr. Little, for the respondents, objected on the ground
that it was contrary to the rule of court, which prevented
new evidence being brought before the court of appeal with-
out special leave beyond that which was adduced in the
court below. He stated that there were means of inform-
ing the court of what took place below in tho written judg-
ment of the comirissioner.

The Lord Chancellor said that if he perpetually sainted
leave to adduce fresh evidence on appeal, he ahov'd be per-
petuatitg an evil which he wished to redress, namely, that
of irregularity in the proceedings of thecoo. t below ; bat in
this case the affidavit did not contain evidence regiird'ng the
matter in issue, but information to the court of appeal as to
what took plain before the commissioner. He ~:shed it to
be understood that the order prohibiting the reception of
new evidence had reference only to evidence relating to
the matters in issue, and notto the production of information
as to the proceedings below, as distinguished from evidence
on the matter in issue. In the present cue he would allow
the petition to stand over for the purpose of enabling the
respondents to answer the affidavit If it was found to be
incorrect, it might be amended ; but if it was correct, the
respondents might go to the commissioner with a renewed
application to receive evidence of the validity of the deed.
London, England, 1862-12-05

CLERK EN WELL

The court was crowded by the tradesmen of Islington to
hear the cases against several of their body in the same
parish who had been summoned before Mr. Barker at the
instance of the vestry of the parish of Islington, for
causing an obstruction by exposing goods for sale.
Mr. Layton (the vestry clerk) attended for the prosecu-
tion.

Mr. Layton. in opening the case, said that great com-
plaint. had been made to the vestry of the obstructions
caused by tradesmen's goods, and he had been instructed
to proceed in the matter. He might state that the law
war clearly expressed in Mr. Woolrycb's work on "The
Law of Ways" (2nd edition) ; for therein it was stated,
" The legislature has forbidden all obstructions
on highways and turnpike roads, and has so regulated those
public ways as to afford the moot ample enjoyment of a fall
and free pawge along them." If the defendants would
plead g • ty, and promise not to offend again, be would ask
that a fine of 55., instead of 51., be imposed, and that the
defendants pay the outs.
Nineteen cases were thee disposed of by the defendants
being tined ss. each and costs.
Mr. Barker said if any of the defendants came before him
again for the same offence he should have to increase the
platelike.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN ITALY.

TURIN, Dtc. 4.
The lists of ministerial combinations in circulation
yesterday are either premature or unfounded.
Signor Parana has been received by the King.
It is still said that Signor Cassinis will enter the
new Cabinet, but only as Minister of Justice.
For the portfolio of the Interior two names are
put forward—Marquis D'Aftlitto, Prefectof Genoa,
and Signor Poerretti, Syndic of Milan.
It is asserted that Signor Pasolini would under-
take the Presidency of the Council and the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs.
The journals continue to discuss the question
whether the new Cabinet should consist of members
who had held themselves aloof from the recent par-
liamentary conflict.

TURIN, Dim 4, Evunia.

.
The Discussione of this evening says
"If our information is correct, the new ministry
will be a political one, composed of men who have
gained reputation in parliament, although abstain-
ingfrom party eoulflottt."
The same paper believes that the new cabinet
will be supported by a majority, including the
supporters of Signor Rattazzi.
The article concludes :

"Should personal ambition prolong the present
crisis, the King would in that case know how to
find the way to the hearts of his subjects."

NORTH AND SOUTH GERMANY.

A Vienna letter of the 7th says :
It is no longer a secret for those wbo are acquainted
with the currents of oar external policy that our relations ,
with Prussia have assumed, daring the lest few months,
• toue of acrimony which it will require a great deal
of prudence on both sides to re-establish, if not on
an amicable footing, at least in harmony with the
diplomatic requirements which their respective situations
impose on the two principal pavan of Germany. This
fresh difference, which has • kind of organic importance,
W been eccesioaed by the protein of reform which hes
be elaborated after so much toil by M. von Benet,
the Saxon minister, and transmitted by him, in the
muse of the Dresden cabioet, to that of Berlin.

On this subject the Berlin Universal Gazette
states that the present conflict at Centel seems
to take a turn which cannot fail to attract the at.
tention of Prussia. Hitherto the electoral govern-
ment has opposed legal arguments to legal argu-
ments, having maintained the constitution pro-
claimed by itself, on the ground that it had been
recognised by the Germanic Diet. But, according
to the latest intelligence, the government of Cased
cannot govern with its own constitution, and ap-
pears disposed to quit the legal ground, and act in-
dependently of all control. Prussia, according to
the Gaulle, cannot tolerate any threatening fermen-
tation in a neighbouring state, and must, therefore,
in its own interest, demand that an end be put to
an abnormal state of things.
