BATISON O. BACON.-TRI COST 3001 rimiCieLx.
This was ea action by a gentleman who resides at Liver-
pool, to recover 26W., which he had paid upon one hundred
shares in the Taliesin Mining Company, and the ground of
the plaintul's claim was. that the undertaking hed proved
abortive, end that there had been a failure of consideration.
Mr. Phinn sad Mr. Lush appeared fer the plaintiff, and
Mr. &edema Byles for the defendant.
Mr. Phinn said thevrospectus stated that there was to be
a capital of 60,000/. in 10,000 shares, and that 26,000/.
should be paidup ; but in fast only between 1,100 and
1,200 share. had been allotted, of which GOO bad been
taken by Mr. Morgan, who was to be the managing
director.
The Chief Justice suggested that the matter would ulti-
mately turn out to be one for the consideration of the
court.
Mr. Berjeant Byles said his lordship was probably not
aware of the recent discussion in the Court of Ezebequer as
to whether the rule about failure cf consideration was appli-
cable to poet-book mines.
Mr. Phinn—This mite was in Cardigasskire and there
would be a question whether the cost-book principle ex-
tended to Wales, or wig only a local custom.
Mr. Berjeant Bytes thought he should be prepared to point
out the greatest possible difference between • feint-stook
oonsry and a cost-book mine.
T Chief Justices—Not at an ; unless he could prove a
custom that people who worked on the cost-book principle
might say one thing and mean another. He believed it a
Olaf proposition of law, that if he contracted to take shares
is a mine of 20,000 shares, and there should turn out to be
only 2,000 shares, he was not boend by his contract, whether
the principle were the cost- book or any other book, that was
the rale according to the law books. If that was the only
point, he should decide it as he had intimated ; he did not
owe how it had been held elsewhere ; he had no doubt
about it. _ . .

After sone damnation it was agreed that there should be a
verdict for the plaintiff for 2501., subject to the opinion of
the court upon a special cue.
In the use of Jones a. Boson, a verdict was taken for
7801. uj♦on the same terms.

MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS.

(Pres the Globe.)

Mr. Vernon Smith has accepted the office of
President of the Board of Control, and a new writ for
Northampton will be probably moved for this evening.
Mr. Denby Seymour, we believe, succeeds Mr. Lowe as
Secretary to the India Board. No vacation of his seat
results from his acceptance of WIN. Yr. Villiers, who
was offered the Vice-Presidency of the Board of Trade, we
understand, decline, that office, and retains his present
post of Judge Adulate General. Mr. W. Cowper
succeeds Mr. Fitzroy as Under Secretary of State for
the Rome Department ; and Sir Robert Peel will
probably go to the Colonial-office as Under Secretary.
Mr. Monkton Mines has declined the Secretaryship of the
Treasury, rendered vacant by the resignation of Lod Alfred
Hervey. In f fling the Secretaryship of the Ordnance,
Lord Patternless was unions to avail himself of the Dasi•
114118 experience of Mr. Laing, whose aid in arranging the
future operations of the tate la ceasselon with the war
&primate would, doab Wm, have been most valuable.
The extent of that gent lames commercial undertakings,
however, obliged him to decline the offer. The Secretary-
ship of the °Masao% therefore, as well as the office of
Vioe•President of the Bard of Trade, a Lordship of the
Treasury, sad a Lordship of the Admiralty, remain vacant.

THE POLICE COURTS.

GOILDHALL.—A cabman, in the employ of Mr. Hsieh, •
cab proprietor, was summoned before Alderman Kennedy,
for using abusive language, &c. It appeared that the pri-
soner's cab had been hired by Mrs. Brenkston, of 39, Old
Change, who, on alightiog, gave him 6d. over his fare, on
account of the seventy of the weather. Prisoner asked for
more, and because he could not obtain it, used very abusive
and insulting language.—Alderman Kennedy said it was
an old saying, that if you want a little abuse from a cabman
/onz busatgive himild.nnderhis fare ; but if you want some
you mast give him 6d more than his fare.
al should inflict a Sae of 20s. for each offence, or 14 days'
imprisonment.
Sourawann.—Abigail Stag was charged with mali-
ciously cutting the throat of Catherine Lyons.—Margaret
M'Carthy, in the employ of Messrs. Josephs, the furriers,
of Swan-street, and Cole-strut, deposed that the prisoner
and the injured female were at work in the same room with
the witness, and bad words; and the prisoner, who had a
knife in her hand, threatened to use it.—Margaret Holland
said :I am in the employ of Mears. Joseph', and I heard the
prisoner threaten Catherine Lyons yesterday morning at
work. She said if it was not for the work she would have
stabbed her then. She then had the knife in her hand.
At seven o'clock in the evening Lyons left the factory, and
shortly after the prisoner lett. I went outside the old
shop, and I saw them quirrelling together, and the prisoner
drew her knife across the throat of Catherine Lyons,
who rushed into the warehouse with her throat cut.—
The prisoner interrupted the witnesses, and said—l was in
a passion; I had taken my knife to the grinders, and
Catharine Lyons followed me and abused me ; she tore my
bonnet, and in the sniffle, I am sorry to eay, I cut her with
my knife. I did not do it intentionally.—The Magistrate
remanded the prisoner.—The injured young woman, under
proper eau, is likely to recover.
LAMBETH.— Mrs . Sarah Ellis, Elizabeth Ellis, and Robert
Caron Ellis, the son of the first named prisoner, all respect-

The English funds showed continued flatness to-
day, but the decline at no time exceeded per cent.,
and the closing quotations were not lower than
those of yesterday. In all business circles a great
want of animation is noticed, owing in part to the
increased financial means demanded by government
for the prosecution of the war. It will be seen by
the following statement, that exclusive of the Ord-
nance estimates, and of "supplemental" estimates, a
war expenditure for the new financial year of nearly
thirty millions sterling, is already proposed, making
an increase of about eight and a half millions com-
pared with the highest sums attained during the
fiscal year now closing :

Increase on last

Total £29,818,961 £8,461,892

There is, °lmam, so disposition to question the
propriety of the vast armaments thus involved ; on
the contrary, an inmost unanimous opinion is ex-
pressed in favour of a most vigorous prosecution of
the war, with a view to the speedy attainment of an
honourable peace, but there is a growing feeling that
these burdens ought rot to be defrayed in their en.
tirety out of taxation, and that the true policy of
government should be to endeavour to alleviate the
immediate burden of the nation by meeting a portion
of the increased war expenditure by means of a loan.
At Paris to-day some tendency towards recovery
was observable, and the French funds closed per
cent. higher than yesterday. The other continental
stock markets generally show heaviness. From Am-
sterdam prices come quoted at a decline. At Vienna
increased gloom is evinced, and the exchange on
London has further risen to 12.28. At Berlin, Rua.
scan stocks have declined.

Consols for the Nth March were quoted during a
great part of the day at soa to t, but closed at 90;

PZITURI 07 1111.113211.

This was an action to recover the value of 200 shares in
the Van Diemen's Land Company, which, according to the
plaintiff's 034110, had been improperly declared forfeited by
the directors.
Mr. Montague Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Barstow appeared
for the plaintiff, and Mr. &Ijssel Bytes and Mr. Bramwell,
Q.O ,for the defendants.
The plaintiff was formerly a partner in the house of
Cockerel', Larpent, and Co., which stopped payment in
1847, and he had likewise been the holder of 200 shares in
the Van Diemen's Land Company. In March, 1861, the
company declared these 200 shares forfeited, in consequence
of calls not having been paid. Subsequently Mr. Bursley
Palmer, who was a friend of Mr. Cockerell'a, and was
also interested in the management of the affairs of the firm,
made some inquiries, and ascertained that the shares bad
been forfeited. He then communioated:with:Ms. Cockerell's
solicitors, and they tendered the amount of the calls, 8291.,
and claimed the shares, on the 11th January, 1853, at which
time the 200 shares were worth 4,0001. This demand, how-
ever, was not complied with, and therefore the present
action was brought to recover the sake of the shares on the
11th January, 1863, and also 3001. for interest.
The principal question raised for consideration was,
whether the company had given the proper notice in ac-
cordance with their act to the plaintiff, before they declared
his shares forfeited. It appeared that a notice bad been
posted:on the door of the office of Mews. Cockers!!, Ler-
pent, and Co., in Austin-friar,, to the effect that all message'
and papers were to be sent to Mr. Colman, of Coleman-
strut, and that when the clerk went to serve the notice of
forfeiture at Austin-friars, he saw the notice on the doors,
and be accordingly took his notice to Mr. Colman. That
gentleman forwarded it to Mr. Noble—one of the partners
in the house—unopened, and the plaintiff, who war abroad
at the time, never got the notice at all.
At the suggestion of his lordship a verdict was entered
for the plaintiff for 3,0001., subject to the opinion of the
court upon a special was.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

On Battirday night Orisi and Mario Made their
last appearance for this meson. They performed their great
parts of Valentina and Raoul, in the Huguenots, with •
power and effect which they have never surpassed, and pro-
bsbly quailed. In that most affecting scene of love
and despair, terminating the third set, in which the hapless
pair, engrossed with their mutual pinion, forget for •
moment the horrors which surround them, Mete wonderful
performer, produced an impression, such as we have scarcely
ever witnessed, on a house, which was crowded to overflow-
log. The whole audience—in the bones, stalls, pit, and am-
phitheatre—rose by one impulse, and cheered with the
utmost vehemence for several minutes, while the stage was
literally covered with the showers of wreaths and bouquets
thrown to the fair prima donna.
Not • word is new mid about (irises retiring from
the stage. Why, indeed, should she? She is in the lull
strength of womanhood. She retains her beauty, majesty,
and gram. Her voice is as sweet, u rich, as powerful, as
fresh, as ever. Her gifts of intellect have been developed and
matured ; and Mere Is no doubt that, at this tin*, she is •
greater entries and a greater singer than she hes ever been
before. Why, then, should she abandon a profession of
which she is, and in the cows' of nature may long con-
tinue to be, the brightest ornament ?
. _

. -
In regard to Mario, there is no doubt that, for a season or
two back, his health seemed precarious and his vocal powers
uncertain; and hie resigning to others some of hii principal
puts appeared to indicate a sense of decaying strength.
But daring the pretest season there have been no such indi•
cations. He has never bun more vigorous, or more suc-
cessful in his effirts. We take our leave, therefore, for the
present, of this gilled pair, having little or no doubt that,
when the nest season shall arrive, they will resume the
places they have held so long on the boards of the Royal
Italian Open.

THE REVOLT IN TRIPOLI.

(71011 OUR

TRIPOLI, JULY 15.

On the 12th 1,200 Turkish infantry, 6 guns, and
6,000 Arab irregular troops, consisting of cavalry and
infantry, in Turkish pay, advanced under Ismael
Bey, from Tripoli by Oharion, to relieve the Castle of
' a mountain wet, garrisoneti by about. :ix-yip
Turk', and besieged by the rebel chief, Ghonma.
This fort is five marches (about 100 miles) from
Tripoli. About an hours' distance from the Castle, in
a defile, the Arab rebels were posted. The Turkish
commander-in-chief, on deciding to attack them, en-
deavoured to crown the heights with ca-
valry, which was an impossibility. The
right wing was repulsed with the loss
of their chief, and the left wing fled
without a shot, riding upon the baggage and
attacking their own irregulars in the rear. The
Turks, thus placed between two fires, their own irre-
regular cavalry, aad the rebels under Mourns, broke
and fled with the loss of their six guns, baggage, and
all their materiel (not very much, for Turks have not
generally a superabundance). The casualties in
killed and wounded did not exceed 200 men.

The disaster may be safely attributed to the un-
skilful disposal of the Turkish troops by their com-
mander-in-chief, in attempting to crown a rocky
height with hie cavalry. This tactician must have
been taking lessons from the same school as our
generals.
At present the insurrectionary movement is con-
fined to the mountain chain extending from the
Tunisian frontier to the district of °harlot), and from
the recent failure of the crops, and total want of
water, the insurgents will be unable to keep the field
in any force.
If, however, reinforcements are not immediately
sent to the theatre of the revolt, the insurrectionary
movement may assume a wide extension.
Most perfect order reigns in Tripoli and the en-
virons. Such defensive dispositions have been made
as the exigencies of the moment require.

THE BALTIC.

A letter from Stockholm, in the Cologne Ca:elle,
says :—" The blockade which the Allied squadrons
have establis!ed in the Baltic and in the Chi of
Bothnia is so complete this year that the trade which
was carried on in 1854 between Russia and Sweden
to a considerable extent is completely suppressed.
The presence of the Allied fleets in these seas pro.
dues this other important effect, that it forces
Russia to keep in the north three great corps d'arm6e,
one of 90,000 men in the provinces south of St.
Petersburg; the second in that city and in Croustadt;
and the third along the coasts of Finland."

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JIILT 28.
The Nation admits the truth of the report, that
Mr. Duffy is about to retire from parliament, and in
the following paragraph obviously throws the blame
on the Irish Homan catholic bishops and priests :
" The pledge," says the young Ireland organ, " which
Mr. Duffy made at the Callan meeting, and repeatedly
since, to retire from parliament it the Irish cause
was hopelessly deserted by those who ought to guide
and bless it, is one which he will not shrink from
fulfilling. His leaving Ireland for ever is another
question. We believe his determination in that re-
spect is to travel for twelve months (which his health
requires), going to the Cape and Australia, and to
allow hie final determination to be shaped by the
state of Irish affairs at the end of that time.

At the Belfast assizes yesterday, several persons
were convicted for walking in Orange processions,
some on the 12th of July, and others at a funeral of
one of their brethren, when they attended with drums
and banners, &a These latter were sentenced to
two months' imprisonment, and in the case of the
former sentence was not pronounced.
The Dublin police, who refused to volunteer into
the Guards the other day, are now in their turn
beating up for recruits with little better success, one
of their inspectors having only succeeded in obtain-
ing one eligible man in a populous district of Tip-
perary this week.
The encouraging aspect of the harvest is a leading
topic in all the Irish provincial journals. In most
localities a portion of the grain crops have been par-
tially lodged by the rain, but the injury done is as
yet very trifling, and there is everywhere a promise
of a most abundant yield. The appearance of potato
disease, which is visible to some extent in every dis-
trict, is confined to merely blotched leaves, and in
some instances to a withered stalk, the tubers not
i
having been affected except in very rare cases.
There s a good supply of healthy new potatoes in
the markets • and large quantities of the old ones
are still forthcoming, disproving the fears so generally
felt last harvest that there would not be a potato left
in the country before the present summer set io.
The fruitless attempt made this week in Limerick
to induce the Irish constabulary to enlist in the
Guards is thus described in the Limerick Chro-
nicle :

RUSSIAN ACCOUNTS FROM THE BALTIC.

The Invalids Busse, of July 21, contains a long
article professing to be a true history of various un-
justifiable acts committed by the Allied fleets in
Finland, in Esthonia, and upon the coasts of the
White Sea. The allegations relate chiefly to the cap-
ture of little barques belonging to fishermen and
peasantry, seized while on their way from one point
of the coast to another, and to landings upon unforti-
fled spots, and the committal there of unnecessary
deeds of destruction. One of the statements is so
outrageously opposed to the character of our seamen,
that it only serves to awaken our indignation against
the unblushing narrator. It is as follows:
The last exploit of the Allies upon the coasts of Esthonia
surpasses in monstrous cruelty all th►t preceded it. On
July 12 two steam•frigates and a gunboat anchored in the
port of Kunda and sent off some boats, one of which, a
four•oared boat, drew up near a meadow in which nine
peasant women were at work. Perceiving the enemy, the
women tied into a neighbouring wood. The men in the
boat cried out to them, in the Swedish tongue, to fear
nothing, and made some signs to them to stop. Seeing that
the women continued their flight, the first boot stood
towards the three other, and approaching the bank again,
hurled two Congress rockets after the women. One of the
latter unfortunate creatures was wounded above the knee
by the first rocket, and the second projectile bruised or broke
I to pieces the foot of another.

TILE POLICE COUBTB.

Mr. CoWe gave a deetaitat of isuportanes in conasefi.ll
wit b the °beetroot* of the Sabbath. The corporation of
Loation, in order to prevent drovers from taking cattle
throeshit Loudon on a &today to the New Cattle Market,
have posed a by-mw under the powers given them by the
Metropolitan Cattle Market Act of 1851, that no cattle shall
be driven through any of the streets within a sadists of
seven mile, from St..Paul'e, under a penalty of 51. A
drover, named Taylor, was summoned on Tuesday for
driving 11 beasts slang certain roads in the neighbourhood
of the new market. _ _ _ _ _ _

Mr. Carrie reserved his judgment, and he now said that
this case had been brought before him as one of great im-
portance. Oa the one side It was said deeply to affect the
religious feelings of the inhabitants of London ; and on the
other hand, that If his judgment should be against the de-
fendant, it would greatly interfere with and probably de-
stroy an extensive trade in foreign cattle, which usually
uric. in London on Sunday. Mr. Corrie, after going very
minutely through the act of parliament, remarked that.
with all due deference to the corporation, and to the right
hon. gentlemen who approved and sanctioned the by-law,
he amid not believe that the legislature intended to delegate
their power to the corporation of London to punish the
desecration of the Lord's Day by paging a by-law of this
nature. If it were considered &Arable to prohibit the
driving of cattle through the streets of London at all hours
on Sundays, it seemed to him that the legislature should be
applied to for the prohibition, and that for the arrival of
foreign cattle, and trade generally, some exception should
be made in eases of necessity. Under these circumstances
he should dismiss the summons; but if either party should
be dissatisfied with the decision, he would be happy to re-
consider it in some other case, or to place the question in
train to be reviewed by the Court of Quetn's Bench.

Prince Napoleon has just addressed a circular to
the Presidents of Classes of the International Jury,
on the subject of the award of recompenses, in which
their attention is again called to the following pas-
sage in a previous circular. " Every consideration of
origin or of nationality, all remembrance of anterior
recompenses, must be set aside by the judges of the
Universal Competition now open."
Rumours that General Pelissier is about to resign,
which have already been circulated without founda-
tion, are again current to day. It is said that he
was received by some regiments with cries of "Viva
Canrobert," uttered so distinctly that he was obliged
to notice them, and that he told the troops the only
cry permissible under arms was " Vive l'Empereur."
I learn by a private letter from an officer that
Generals Pelissier and Simpson are on the "very
best terms" with each other.

The bourse was again heavy at the opening, but
during the last quarter of an hour there was a brisk

This was so satin to recover damages far the non-com-

the Westminster Improvement Cesintlasioners far the price
of 2101. The ease was tried in London before the Chief
Justus, and a verdict was found fee the defendant, subject
however to leave reserved to move the court to enter a ver-
dict for the plaintiff for 101. A rule was obtained pursuant
to this leave, and the matter to-day came on for argument.
Mr. Montage Chambers, %C., and Mr. Lush appeared
to show clause naiad the rule being made absolute; and
Mr. Serjeant Bylee and Mr. Day to support the rule.
It appeared that the Westminster Improvement CPU•
winners had, under the authority of one of their acts of
parliament, executed an indenture of mortgage of their
property, dated the 26th May, 11162, for securing the per-
formance of their bonds, and the bond in question oontsined
a statement that it was intended that the holder should be
entitled to. the benefit of the said indenture of mortgage.
The fourth section of the Statute of Frauds 'tette, that soy
contract for the sale of lands, tenements, bereditamenta, or
any interest in or concerning them, must be in writing. In
the present case there was no contract in writing for the sale
of the bond ; and ;be question win therefore raised, whether
the contract was valid within the meaning of the fourth sec-
tion of the Statute of Frauds. On the part of the defendant
it was submitted that the bond conferred an interest in land,
end that it could not be assikued except by a writing signed
by the party to be charged therewith.
The Court thought it clear that this bond conferred on
the holder the benefit of the mortgage deed, and therefore
that it must be taken that the holder of the bond kad no
interest in the lead which was mortgaged for his benefit.
The contract for the sale of the bond referred to an interest
in land, and ought to have been in writing.
