THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1852.

esetissts a the sat (9 it 10 Viet:, cap. 95), in which power
was gives to Use Chancellor to remove the judge of a
County Court, end to the judge to dismiss the clerk. The
21th section gave the power tu the judge to dismiss the clerk,
for inability or misbehaviour, subject to the approval of the
Lord Chancellor ; and by the 18 section it was enacted that'
it might t.'e lawful for Use Lord Chancellor, or where the
whole district was within the County Palatine of Lancaster,
for the Chancellor of the Dodo, if ho should think fit, to
lemon the judge of a County Court for inability or misbe-
haviour. The Chancellor was, therefore, in hi., own judge
mint to decide upon the fact of inability or misbehaviour;
but he submitted the di-misted party might come to this
court. and ask for such a proceeding as would enable him
to have the question of fact decided by a jury. Then, was
no mode Risen by this statute by which the Chiacellor
could ascertain the truth of the allegatioas; he had nu
power to examine the witnesses upon oath. Bo that unless
the party could come to this court he might be removed
upon testimony which was entirely false. The evidence
might be very voluminous and csinflictiog, and such as a
jury alone ought to decide upon, anit that upon the oaths
of the wan. „«a. Hut there was a direct authority in the
ease of "The Queen r. Owen," where a clerk of the
county court ul Merlons th had base dismissed for inability.
That court granted a quo warrant°, and the jury returned
a special verdict that the inability was insolvency ; this was
subs. quently held not to be a sufficient inability, and
the party was restored to his office. It might turn out that
that which the Earl of Carlisle had deemed inability or nail-
coudiset that court might hold not to be se ; and that could
only beds:termini:Ll by sendiug the facts to a jury. In
Os en's eassas that court had hell that the derision of the
judge was not final, and that the questMa of fret might be
rids. il for the opinion of a jury.
Lord Ciampi,. 11—But in the coo of " The Queen v.
Owl." it made to appear that the only groom& of
complaint was that the clerk was not able to pay all his
debts, It being admitted that he had rii rformeil his duties
is an caciaplary mann. r. Not:ling was imputed that
amounted to nubility or misconduct. If yau eau show that
nothing was imputed to Mr. Itau.shay unmanning either to
inand.ty or anstieliaviour, eu.l that In is not guilty of ina-
bility or modish triune, you may make out a ease for a 11.0
War. iota but you admit that the el.arges brought epsilon
Mr. Itanoloy, if wed founded, would amount to inability
o. misb.haviour, and you wish es to grant a quo warrant°,
is order that a jar, may try those charges.
Sir F. Kelly had nut exactly made such en admission,
but the qurstiou was bow vas the fret to be ascertained, or
how was the qrseetiou to be Lund, tees pt by ranting this

Lord Caisphell—act present we &reconsidering what ma-
terials ought to be laid before the court. If you prove that
you have rest beau Used, the n the court would interfere.
yea show that that which was imputed would hot
ansoant to either suability or misconduct, then that would
ground tut applying ter a quo warrant°, but if you
admit the charges were of a grave nature, amounting to
inability and ionconiliirt —that the porgies had been heard
—that there had been a devisina by a funetionary ap-
pointed by the eonatitutien, or by act of parliament, to
riceale—theu the liwstifla arises, whether you can tome
with afillivits to show that that decision WU wrong, and
induce us to grant a quo warranto that there may be a new
trial beture a jury.
Sir F. Kelly and it was a treparate question whether in
this particular ease it wu poesible to sustain the judgment
without some further inquiry. It wu impossible to know
the ground of the Earl of Carlisle's derision—whether it
was upon the only charge of which Mr. Itanishay had
notice, and which be was called upuu to answer when the
noble earl has instituted the inquiry, or any other charge;
but he would submit that the right to the quo warranto
Val not at all limited to those eases, in which it appeared
spun the affidevito that the judgment of the party remov-
inz could not be right, but it waa similar to the case of the
parish clerk.
Lent Campbell—You say, then, that it was a verdict
against the weight of evidence?
Sir F. Kelly could nut adopt that language. lie con-
tended that tha Law had not mule the Chancellor the final
judge of the fut. The case of the Queen and Owen was
directly in point.
Lost Campbell—lf you have an affidavit showing that
if the charges against Mr. Itanishay were true they would
nut cunstitate a sufficieut ground fur demise:el, then ...fhe
Queen w. Owen " is an authority in your favour; but not
till then. It COILVS to thk—upon what ground you can
impeach the judgement it might be that the charge
against the party was frivolous, or where there was eon-
dieting eviihuee that the weight of the testimony wu in
favour of the party accused.
Sir F. Kelly impeached it upon the ground that it was
untrue, in point of fact, that there was any inability or
misconduct; and so it was in "The Queen r. Owen. It
would be a great injustice if it were to be held that if the
Chancellor came to a decision directly contrary to what
could be vowed to be the fact, without being able to ad-
minister an oath, that it was to be final and conclusive,
destroying, as it might, the prospects of • man holding ao
important a situation as that of a judge of • county court.
It wasthe intention of the legislature that it was fur the
Chancellor to decide as to the degree of inability or mis-
conduct. lle might come to this court and my, not that
the Chancellor h erred in judgment AI to any inability or
misconduct, but that he was wrong as to the fact. It would
be a grievous injustice to deprive • party of his livelihood
and reputation when the wttneases could not be examined
on oath. This was a case sheering there was no jurisdiction
in the Chancellor; that the facts did not exist upon which
hi. jurialiction could be founded. The fact of inability and
xaMbehavioar was • earlition precedent to the Chancellor
eaereising hi. jurisdiction at all.
Mr. Justice l'atteson—lu the case of " The Queen v.
Owen" it was conceded that the only ground of removal
was the man's insolvency, and the queatean was whether
that was, within the meaning of the act of parliament, in-
ability or misbehaviour. There was no doubt about the
fact.
_ . _

F Kelly
Sir said it was a question in Owen's case whe•
tber thin) was any distinction between the finality of the
learn d Jule:* lICCiPI.III in point of fact and the finality of
the decision in point of law. The want of jurisdiction
might es well be obscure in fact as in point of law. If
there were neither misbehaviour nor inability them was no
jurisdiction.
Lord Campbell-4f the affidavits show that there was no
imputation of misconduct, then you may enter upon the
affidavits; hut if you admit there was a charge of inability
or msbehaviour, and that hail been heard and derided,
them I think the legislature meant that the judgment should
be ermelusive. . . _

Sir F. Kell said if he could show absence of jurisdic-
tion 'het would entitle the party to a rule. But there was
another ground. The charge of misconduct was as re-
garded • person named Whitt y, snot a memorial had been
presented to the Earl of Carlisle. Both parties attended
by counsel, his loriiship having directed an inquiry, but
upon that inquiry 20, or 3d, or 40 charges were gone into.
The inquiry lasted a fortnight, and it was • wonder that it
did not last longer when one considered the party in Liver-
pod, he would not say (rota what motive., who were per-
mitted to cater into any species of charge. The Earl of
Carlisle considered the proceeding closed.
Lord Campbell—Bid Mr. Itanishay ade for more time ?
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—Yes, my lord; I did fur him.
bir F. Kelly said the document appointing the inquiry
contained only one charge, of which alone Mr. Ranashay
bad notice; the inquiry going on de die in diem, other
matters were brought forward ; and about • month after
the investigation hail terminated, without any previous no-
tice t Mr. Ram-hay, without calling on him to appear at
any piece, without any adjournment at all, and without
any ceremony whatever, the Earl of Carlisle transmitted to
Mr. It tinsli.,y an instrument dismissing him from his office,
accompaiind by a letter expressing his regret at being
obliged to-trite at such a decision ; and he elmeld contend
that, from those two instruments, it was utterly imposible
to determine whether he was dismissed for the matter
charged in the meinorial presented to the Earl of Carlisle,
and in consequent., of which he instituted the inquiry ; or
for one or more of the other roat•ers inquired into. There
was noto.ng in the letter from the noble earl pointing to in-
ability ; sod all the witnesses were unanimous in their
(minim of Mr. Itanishay's ability. He had also to urge
that Mr. itainshay had been dismissed without being celled
upon to show cause. Ile submitted there wee no difference
in principle or in fact between the ease of the Chance:Bora
the Duchy of Limiest*r and the rector of • parish. The
law had given etch • derretion, but it bad not taken from
the party his right to have his ease brought before a jury.
The Chancellor might hear the ease, bat it was not competent
for kiln todianiess without million upon the party to show came.
The learned mined, in omedunoss, referred the evert to a
ease of °The King v. Warren," (I Cooper 370), which was
the foundation of the interposition of that court by man-
damus or quo srarranto in cases when parties had been
dismissed from public offices upon insufficient grounds;
and also W ° Esparta, Kenny," I Coconino Bench Reports

This was an action of replevin, arising oat of the fallow-
circumstances . There was iu the parish of St. P•SaCTUS
• kiml act, which was passed in the 20th (ho. 111., and
which created • vestry in that parish, and conferred upon
it very 'Merle, power. The Stith section empowered the
vestry to hear appeals against rates which it had imposed,
and to relieve from the payment of them such parties ea the
vestry might deem to be justly entitled to he so relieved.
The With section further enlarged the preen of the v
in this matter. On the 16th of March the vestry im=
• rate on the North-Western Railway Company in respect
of its premises in and near.Seymourstreet. The rate was
calculated on an assumed value of more than 26,01101. The
company was advised that this was an emissive value, being
measly double the amount at which the premises ought to
be 'seemed. Tho company, therefore, applied under the
statute for • reconsideration of the rate, and the vestry de-
Wined to deal by its special authority with a question of '
such extent and importance, and proposed that it should
be referred to the decision of some properly in-
structed sod imrtial person. It was, therefore, agreed
that the matter should be referred to a gentleman of high
standing at the bar. An arbitrator was appointed under
this agreement; he was attended by counsel, and every in-
formation was afforded him. It was agreed that the award
of the arbitrator should regulate the assessments of any
rate to any future period up to the dote of the award, and
that all the payments made by the company with respect
to such rates should be considered as payments on account
of such future rates, and that the perish should treat such
sums as should be paid in laces, of the proper amount of
the rases as gams rectived to the credit of tho company,
and should apply them in diminution of such future rates.
The award was made some time afterwards, and the ridable
dodos which lad barn originally charged at above 26,00 W.

was by the award reduced to the slam of 16,4401. As 4001.
harbeen paid, before the award was made, in elettif of the
whole amount of the succeeditig rate, the parish disputed
the award, and before the magistrate insisted on the pay-
ment of the rate. A diAress was afterwards levied, and
several first-class carriages were seised; an action of re-
plevin was brought by the company to relieve these ear-
, lieges Irons the 'leisure, but liefure declaring in the action
I a rule had been obtained by the company to stay the pro-
, ceedings under the seizure.
Mr. Crowder and Mr. Bramwell appeared to show cause
against the rule, which was supported by Mr. Pashley.
The judges having consulted together fur a few moments,
The Lord Chief Justice said—l am of opinion that this
1 rule ought to be made übsolute. Thu conduct of the pa-
r rish appears to me to ho very extraordinary, to say the least
• of it. It was a very lair agreement entered into between the
i parish awl the railway company. It was an agreement most
I advantageous (or the parish, and at tho same time
tegeous for the company. It was for the arbitrator to lay
down some rule by which the amount of over payment
arising pending the award might be decided, and that sti-
r pulatem in the agreement a hereby the plaintiff was to go
on paying, credit being gisi•n (or the cite", ought, if pi s-
. Bible, to be enforced. Now, what is the conduct of the
v, stry ? They deprive the company of the opportunity
they have of appealing to have justice done them. They
I inveigle the company to enter into this agreement—they
t induce the company to go out paying upon the fcoting of
• the rate that had been made ; and thee, when the award is
I amide, reducing the rateable Aloe very considerably, and
i showing that there had been an over payment, they
say they will not seek to set aside the award, but that
they will set the award at defiance. In violation of • '
solemn agneenent they say they will enforce payment of a
rate wehaut giving credit fur the excess alecady paid. This
is el. aily most dishonest conduct on their part. But, how-
-1 ever, the giteeion is whether we haee a right to interpose.
I apprehend we have a right to interpose on this ground,
via., that the parish have deprived the company of their
right to appeal and to have justice done them by the regu-
lar tribunal providesl by the legislature; and that it is a
violation of their agreement to institute proceedings which
bring about an action we are new called upon to stay.
Under these circumstances I think we arejustificalin staying•
that action, and so dying justice to both parties.
Mr. Justice Patteson expreseed his entire concurrence in
the judgment of the Lord Chief Justice.
Mr. Justice Coleridge—There are certainly cases in which
this court has interfered to stay proceedings from being car-
ried on which have been commuted in violation of good
faith. Wherever there are eases of this nature—and the
present appears to me to he' one—our interfereuce is parti-
cularly called for. The parish here must be considered as
having g4inel an advantage by the agreement they have
entered into; that is to say., they have got the power of
making a rate and of compelling its payment without giting
the persons reed ar opportunity of appeal. The party
would have hell an opportunity of appealing except fur the
agreement, and are we to be at liberty after that to say
that we must enterer the rate ? Clearly not.
Mr. Justice Wightman—l am of the same opinion.
Buie absolute.

The question in this case was whether the effect of en in-

case was an impediment to the plaintiff's proceeding after
the injunction had been removed.
The Court now said that they were of opinion that the
plaintiff was bound according to the practice of the court to

The rule to enter judgment, as iu the ease of a nonsuit,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-SATURDAT.
BUM. Ma. Coloammom Clootsvax.
IN RE FILINCII AND SARM.

The bankrupts were coal-factors, carrying on business at
Cbath ice and at the London Coal Exchange. The certifi-
cate meeting took place a week ago, when his Honour
granted San Is a fint-classeertiticate, and reserved his judg-
ment as to the other bankrupt until this day. In conse-
quence of the contradictory evidence given by tke bankrupt
French, and Mr. Shaw, his former clerk or partner, with re.
fence to a bill of exchange for 1261., drawn by Mr.
Baxter, of the Nettlesworth Colliery, Newcastle, accepted
by a party named Abel Wood, described as a coal-merchant,
of 'little-bridge, arid discounted by the bankrupt French
with the London Joint-stock Bank, on which circumstance
the e...poeition to the bankrupt turned, French stating that
the bill was given him by Shaw in part liquidation of a
debt between them, and Shaw asserting that he had never
seen the bill before, his Honour had caused Mr. Baxter, the
drawer of the bill, to bo written to ; and he now appeared.
Mr. Baiter deposed that in July last he was employed as
an agent to the Nettlesworth colliery. He drew the bill in
question at the request of David French. This was at his
°Mee. Twa or three stamps were laid before him in blank,
and he drew the bills, the bill in question thief one. He
bad drawn M or 37 bills for the colliery. Ihe amount
might be 6,0001, or 7,000/. They were drawn for the bull-
new of the colliery. It was a losing concern. None of
the bills were drawn in blank save those he had referred to
above.

Mr. Lawrance, on behalf of the bankrupt French, ad-
dressed the court on this additional evidence, and commented
with much severity on the system pursued by some of the
nort'oern collieries, of obtaining large advances by hills
from coal merchants in town, and failing to cover them,
which he described as a conspiracy to inundate the commer-
cial world with worthless paper.
His Honour said the case was one of considerable import-
ance. The disclosures which took place in that court were
of the greatest interest to tho commercial public, and could
not be too accurately recorded or too widely disseminated;
for they frequently contained lessons which, if considered
well by traders, might be of the greatest advantage to them
as to the mode of conducting their businees. This case was
one of a very extraordinary character indeed. He would
first dispose of the individual complaint of the London
Joint-Stock Bank, that French hail negotiated with them
a bill which they had every reason to believe was • fictiti-
ous one and nothing more than waste paper. He Suite ap-
peared of the conduct of the bank in bringing this matter
forward. It was of the utmost eonaegsaaw that public
bodies should watch transaction, of this description, and, if
they believed they had been imposed upon by worthless
bills, should bring the matter before the met and
have it thoroughly sifted. Tho first inquiry was,
how did French get this bill? It professed to
be drawn for 1261. 13.. fist., by Mr. Baxter, for the owners
of tha Nettlemorth Colliery, on, and purporting to be ac-
cepted by, Mr. Abel Wood, coal merchant, Battle-bridge.
There had been some evidence, not so conclusive as could
be wished, that there was such • person as Wood ; but the
principal question was, how did French get the bill ? He
twisted that he got it from Mr. Mailman Shaw (who was
very much mixed up in these transactions), as part pay-
ment of an amount found to be owing by Show to French,
on • statement of accounts which took place at the dissolu-
tion of their partnership. Mr. Shaw utterly denied this
statement, said there was not a word of truth in it, and
that he had never seen the bill till ho carat into court, and
be pledged his oath without the least hesitation or apparent
doubt that Mr. French's story was utterly without founda-
tion and untrue. Hence it became most important to hear
what Baxter, the drawer of the bill, said; and he told •
wry sixtmordinary story about it. He said that • short
previoustime to the date of the bill (26th of July last)
be had an interview with French in his counting-housi,
when French putlbefore him two or three blank stamps, and
requested him to put his name to them as drawer, and that
be did so. He said that was • solitary instance of his sign-
ing bills in blank—and it was to be hoped that he spoke the
truth, for the practice of signing bills in blank won most
reprehensible. Nobody knew in whose hand-writing the
body of the bill was filled up ; Shaw said he had not seen
it before, and French did not tell them, to that the court
hail no information on that point. Here was a bill drawn
on a person, Woud, who was undoubtedly insolvent, for it
seemed he had lately paid 2*. fid. in the pound. The ques-
tion orose, did French pass this bill to the London Joint-
stock Bank with at least a strong suspicion, if not a movie.
Bon, that it was worthless? Under those circumstances he
was bound to have furnished some better proof of how
and when the bill was drawn. On this head his
ease was altogether defective. The general circum-
stances were relied on ; and his very intelligent
and acute advocate had asked if it was at all
likely that a man basing, as French then had, a largo
balance at his bankers, would knowingly attempt to peas a
bill of that description. It was certainly very improbable;
but it appeared to be part and pared of a system in which
Mr. French bail unfortunately permitted himself to env
bark; and the court agiccil in all !gr. Lawrance had said
as to the wicked character of the conspiracy by which all
this waste paper had been put in circulation. But the
bankrupt had beat himself to this scheme ; the proceedings

showed that he was art and part in the matter, and had as-
sistril to &dirge the commercial public with waste paper of
this deeeription—thereby keeping up a false credit—care
ing serious mischief to his bona fide creditors—ineeriing a
liability of betwoen 20,0001. and 30,01101.—and ultimately
involving in ruin not only himself, but an aged parent,
who had gone ou for 50 years with a well-earned repute.
blau,'. credit to hiinstlf, and the hest possible character
amongst all who knew hint. Having embarked in
this course of dealing, the bankrupt, instead of hold-
ing hie hand when he saw the gulf into which
he was about to be plunged, had goes forward (very much
encouraged by Mr. Shaw, whom the court by no means
acquitted of blame), till he was last altogether, and said and
did things quite iuoonsistent with his being a mere dupe in
these transactions. He had acquitted Mr. Shaw, stated
that they had squared accounts, and that Shaw was not to ,
be blamed. It was only when ho failed that be turned
round and attacked Shaw, Baxter, and others, who had
been only partners with him in a transaction which woo,
from first to last, most improper, and to be reprobated by
every honourable and fear-dealing man. This bill had been
paid to the bank by French—to say the least of it, with the
most culpable negligence; if tho court stopped short of
calling it fraud it was from unwillingness to involve hint in
the highly penal coneequi nee, that must result from a
judgment passed on that ground. Neither Shaw nor French
could be exempted from great blame, nor any One concerned
iu thew transactions, which were all irregular and gross
misconduct in traders. The court wan unwilling to press
hard on a man who had been in such a flourishing cunili-
tion as Mr. French for so long a period, and had earned
during that period a very high, and for a certain time, a
very well deserved character. His estate was quite large
enough to pay every man 20s. in the pound of his just
debts. el et rid of this ksaper, and every man would have
his own ; but those creditors had a just right to complain of
141. being cut off their dividend because the bankrupt
had chosen to carry on a bubble and an adventure
which W 33 sure to end in ruin. Such was gross 13113-
, conduct in any trader. The court took into account his
illness, just at the moment when these excessive advaeces
were beginning; but he could not be permitted at mice to
receive his certificate. Treating the case as one of culpable
negligence only, it was indispensable to hold out an example
to the commercial public, to prevent the repetition of such
practices. Making every just allowance, and all the incli-
nation of the court was that way, in consequence of the
very high character he had so long maintained, and
through sympathy for his aged parent, who, by no (Ault
of has own, was involved in the common ruin, the court
must mark its severe reprobation of the practices referred
to. The certificate must be suspended for six months from
that date ; at tho expiration of that time to be granted of
the third class, there being nothing of unavoidable loss or
misfortune in the ease. Looking at the mitigating eircum-
stances—ae the assignees had not joined in the opposition—
as the bankrupt's general conduct was rather favourable
than otherwise, and as ho had taken great pains since his
bankruptcy to waist the assignees, the court was wil!ing to
prevent his being subject to any personal inconvenience,
and would give him protection; and at the cud of six
months, but not before, he would have his certificate.

THE POLICE COURTS
MANSION-HOUSE.

Henry Crnmsrell, who has undergone several examina-
tions upon charges made against hint by wine merchants, of
having defrauded them, was brought before the Lord
Mayor and Alderman Wilson, for final examination. A
great number of the prisoner's customers were present.
The evidence in several of the voles against the prisoner
was then read over by the chief clerk.
The prisoner—Now, if I had effected sales for these peo•
ple (the prosecutors) there would have been none of this
sort of persecution, fur 1 shall make it plain to the jury, to
their shame, that it is nothing but persecution. But I could
not effect sales with spurious articles, for the publicans
aro too wide awake to be done by such an imposition.
(Laughter.)
When the prisoner was asked whether he wished to sign
the statement which he had made in answer to the first
charge, he said ":lot I; how do I know what I may be
signing ? It may be my death warrant fur what I know."
When the evidence in four separate cases of fraud and one
of embezzlement had been read, the prisoner Raid, I dare
sty you can in the ease of an unsuccessful man easily get up
200 or 300 cases against him, especially if the police run
about to get them up, na this officer has been doing. AU
these thins are concocted against me. (Loud laughter.)
The prisoner was then committed to Newgate far triaL

BOW-STREET.

rharleA Pickering.descril;cia7ateseher of languages,
was brought up for re-examination, charged with mutilating
valuable works at the British Museum.

Mr. Parry, who appeared for the trustees of the Museum,
said that, in addition to the plates taken from a work en-
titled "Les Francois," many of which were found in an
album furnished by the prisoner to Mr. 01lirier, he was in
a condition to show that others had been abstracted from
" Massie do Pelnture et de Sculpture," by Duchesne ;
Journal Militaire," for 1841 and 1845 ; and also from
"The Napoleon Gallery," an English publication.
Mr. John Winter Jones, assistant keeper of the book de-
partment in the British Museum, proved that on Saturday,
the 24th, he accompanied Mr. Panizzi and a police in-
spector to the prisoner'e lodgings, when ho admitted having
two or three copies of the work " Les Francais," both
coloured awl plain ; and, after making a diligent search up-
stairs, which be called his workshop, they found plates be-
longing to the works in question.
In eras-examination witness said that he found one plate
relating to the Journal Militairc, which he could not iden-
tify, and which was not missed from the work. There were
also sevcral plates belonging to the work by Duchesne
which he could not identify. The prisoner said that lie had
for years been a collector of prints.
Mr. Panizzi, principal keeper of printed books, corrobo-
rated the above testimony.
Mr. Hall said there was ample evidence brought before
him for the prisoner's further detention; and as the charge
WAS one of a very grave character, ho should remand the
prisoner.
MARYLEBONE.

If eery Cannon was charged with having stolen a box eon-
Mining a Inc quantity of previous stones, the property of
Dr. Jeanneret, a physician, living at No. 12, Oxford Villas,
Finchlcy-road.
The prisoner had come to the doctor about six weeks ago
in a most destitute condition. lie clothed and kept him,
and on Thursday last sent him with a note to his bunkers,
Messrs. Stephenson and Co., Lombard-street, to deliver to
him a rash box, which was deposited there. The prisoner
did not return, and in consequence the doctor gave informa-
tion to the police. Up to the present time he had the
greatest confidence in the prisoner. lie could not say with
any degree of confidence what the value of the diamonds
might be, as they wets in a rough state, and for aught he
knew they might be worth 10,0001. The box, however, was
in court, with a portion of what it eontained when it was
sent to his banker's. Ito missed from it four diamonds,
such as perhaps were not to be equalled in the world. It
further appeared that on the previous morning a boy saw
the box, produced by an officer, in a field near Copenhagen
House, Islington, open, and a bag lying by its side. A
great many stones were also lying about there, and he put
them in the beg, which he earned home to his parents.
The box was subsequently picked up in the field by a man
named Bruton. It had evidently been broken open. The
prisoner returned to the doctor's house on Friday night,
and was by the cook given into custody, and taken to the
statien-house.
' The prisoner admitted having received the box in its per-
fect state from the bankers, and of which he said he had
been robbed while under the influence of drink.

SOUTH-FARMS RAll.WAY.—Yesterday tho Tun-
bridge Wells and Hastings branch of the South-Eastern
Railway was opened to the public. This completes the
direct communication, by the South-Eastern line, between
Hastings and London. On Saturday what may be called ,
the private opening of the new line took place. A large
party of the directors, including Mr. Macgregor, the Chair-
man, Captain Warren, Mr. Renshaw, the N ice-Chairman,
Mr. Small and Mr. Brown, and who were accompanied by
Mr. Drain, the engineer to the company, Captain Barlow,
ihn superintendent to the company, and Messrs. Hoof and
Wythes, the contractors who have constructed tho new
line, left London by the 11.3° ordinary train, and
proceeded to litigate. Here a special train was
provided, which ran to Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells,
Battle, and then over the new rails to Hastings. The
" inauguration" was unaccompanied by any ceremony.
The Mayor of Hastings was on the platform of the Hastings
station to meat the party ; but it was underetood that this
was iu his private and not in his ofli, ial capacity. After a
brief stay at Hastings the train was driven to Ashford, and
then over the main line to Folkstone. At Folkston the
party dined, being joined by several other gentlemen. The
return to town was by another special train. The branch line
to Tunbridge Wells was first opened in 1816. A continuation
to liobertsbridge has been open about a month, and the
completed lino to Matins has only just been finished.
There did previously exist two routes to Hastings—one by
tie South Cleat line, and a second by the South Easter*
branch line from Ashford to Rye and Hastings. The new
and direct route effects a considerable saving in time and
distance. The season summer direct traffic between Tun-
bridge Wells and Hastings is calculated upon as likely to
be exceedingly large, and, generally, it is supposed
that the purtipn of the county intervening has
long been in want of the railway facilities which
are now provided. The work has been one of great
difficulty uud heaviness. The " ridges " of the Hastings
furruption occur here, and the cuttings are numerous. The
cost has, we understand, been at the rate of 20,0001 per
mile. A very heavy cutting had to be male close to Bat-
tle, and it is a remarkable circumstance that this work is
through the very land whereon was fought the battle of
Hastings. The station at Battle is a very pretty structure,
and quite original in its di sign and character ; the selec-
tion of the apparently unfitting, but really appropriate,
eceleidastical style, being explained by a reference to the
contiguous abbey which gives to Battle all its importance.
LONDON AND SOUTII WESTERN HAILMAT.—The
next half-yearly meeting of this company is announced to
be held ut the Nine Elms station, Vauxhall, on Thursday,
the 12th day of February next, when there will be an
election of three directors to supply vacancies by the retire-
ment, under the company's amendment act, lila, of the
Hon. Francis Scott, M.l'., Henry C. Lacy, Esq., M.P., and
W. Reed, MN. These gentlemen are re.eligible, and the
lion. Francis Scott, M.P., Henry C. Lacy, Esq.,
William Heed, Earl., Stephen (Macke, Esq. (eerjeant-at•
law), Thomas W. Helps, Esq., and Charles S. Mortimer,
Esq., hove severally declared their intentions to heroine
candidates for election. The list three are entirely new
candidates. The grounds of their offering are the necessity
of infusing new blood in the direction, and closing the
capital account

MARKETS.

Livsarini. Jaw. 31.
Setteely anything has been done In produce to-day. The
miles are confined to a small parcel of Coats Kiva eoffee, at
44.., and 2do bags saltpetre, at 24a.

COTTON.—lavanrooi, Jar. 31.—The market closes
firmly, but not briskly, to-dgy, without change in prices.
The ..IN us estimated at BPOO bales, and consist of 1,000
Pernant and Maranhao), chiefly sawginncd, at 41d. ; 350
Egyptian, at Md. to 81d. ; 600 Surat, at Md. to 31d. ; 80
sea islands, at 14d. to 211 d. ; remainder American at pre-
vious rates. The imports since Thursday are 20,000 bales.

Jaw. 31.—We hive had an increase of
business both in cotton yarn and cloth this week, and the
market of to-day fully corresponds with the improved tone
which characterised our trade on Tuesday and Thursday.
Buyers are unwilling to give the increased prices forced on
our spinners by the advance of ed. per lb. on cotton at
Liverpool, but nevertheless it has been established upon
the numbers of water twist most in demand, including
28's is bundle and some others, and on 10's and 60's mule
twist. For cloth there is greater firmness, but not a corre-
sponding advance of prices, though the activity sod rise in
cotton appears to have given an Impulse to trade. There
has been considerable business in printing cloths, and the
finer makes of 30 inch, 40 inch, and wider shirt-
ing.; and the makers of them are in many cues
under contracts. There hos been on improved in-
nuiry also for fine loi/cloths and T cloths. In domestics
the home trade demand is but moderate, but with the ex-
port trade there is sufficient to keep down stocks, and prices
arc firm. Altogether the market has an improved aspect,
and a good many spinners as well as manufacturers are
working to order. fhe exports to India for this month do
not much exceed the half of what was taken for the same
period last year, but late advice, give reason to expect a
considerable improvement soon. For China we are doiug
a large trade in yarn, and the exports have been 1,3,000
lb.. for this month against 746,000 lbs. in the same filontli
last year. Our export of yarn has also been greater by 470
packages to the European ports in the first three weeks of
this year than last. A better trade is also anticipated with
the United States, as well as with India and the continent
of Europe. The jacconet and cambric trades are depressed,
and prices lower.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lra:na, UN. 31.—Although
there has not been any decisive alteration in the state of
the market to-day, yet we think on the whole there has
been a tendency to improvement. In the warehossts also
during the week there has been a better business done.

HARDWAttli.—BintatmoitAn, JAN. 31.—The last ad-
vice* from America brought a few orders, which have been
since distributed, and contributed to keep some of the
manufacturers in full work, hut from the Colludes orders
are scanty, and it is rather to be feared there is somewhat of
a glutei( our goods in that market, which will operate preju-
dicially u regards the spring trade. The Mexican trade
has rather improved of late, and from ltio, Valparaiso and
Monte Video there has been a fair supply of orders, but
the South American trade Fenerally has been very
much improving of lute. Iho orders for the home
trade have come in very well since the new
year set in, especially from the north and west of
tugland ; altogether business here is in a very healthy con.
ditiun; without anything like an accumulation of orders,
either in the merchants', factors', or manufacturers' hands,
there are quite sufficient to keep the latter going, which is
all that can be expected at this time of the year. Tho en-
gineers employed in this town and neighbourhood appear to
have taken no part in the self-ruinous conflict in which the
great body of those most skilful persons are at present en•
gaged; there is a strike on a minor seals in the district
amongst the workmen in another branch; it was reported
under this head last week, and we regret to state that the
matter in dispute has not yet been accommodated.
