in this case were eXeCutea by Maria and Catheriffi.
M'Cartby of their free will, and it that issue should not be
accepted by plaintiffs, as it was not, disMisaing the bill with
costs, was argued on the 14th and 17th inst., and the cireum
stances and questions raised on the arguments were reported
in the Express of the 15th aid 18th. All that is now
necessaiy to restate for the purpose of understanding the
judgment is, that Maria M'Carth one of the professed nuns
who eaccuted one of the deeds which the superor
e, of
was
the
convent to whom it was executed sought nforc
made a plaintiti with them ; the other nun, Catherine, who
executed the second deed, being made a defendant.
The Lord Chancellor, in moving the judgment of the
house, commenced by say:ng that this wu a cas which
venous questions of a curious nature were raised ; but, in
the view which he took of it, the case must, Icr
the present,
be decide d wholly independent of those questions on the
merits. Here two young ladies entered into a convent, and,
as was usual in such came, made vows of obedience to
the supi.riers of the convent, and promised to
convey to the society an) property which shoeld
afterwards accrue to them. These ladies having property left
to them, by their lather dying intestate, executed deeds co-
signing their respective shares to two memaers of the same
society. The members of their own family, very naturally
thinking they had been sufficiently provided for, wished
them to renounce their shares of the intestate's estate in
favour of their brothers. The bill was filed under those cir
cumstances, not by the parties entitled to the snares, but by
e.... v. eu 1.11. a: entice wise mem,
the other being made a co-defendant with the rest of the
amily, though both sisters were stated to concur in the oh-
ject of the suit. The party who prepared this bill must have
been aware of the difficulties arising from this junction of
parties, and the bill itself set up the objections raised by the
rest of the family to the object of the suit; and that the
society for whose benefit this obligation was
coining im-
posed, had no objection to the property
to the 'ndividusl who had executed the assignment.
It was unnecessary to raise that questioli, for if the assent of
the assignor was required, it appeared to be given by her
joining in the suit to compel payment of the money.
this was in fact raising an issue between cu-plaintiffs. If
the assignees were competent to sue, it was quite unnecessary
to WIC such an issue. When this sere came before the Lord
Chancellor of Ireland, he was struck with the situation of
these young women, wits had entered a religious house, and
he thought he saw strong trams of undue infteence exercised
over them, and that they were not free agents. He there-
fore declined to administer the claim on the part of these ce-
plaintiffs, without first adopting some mode by which the
validity of the assignment might be tried. lie therefore
directed an issue to try whether the assignment had been
made by the tree will of the party making it. The issue was
declined, and he then difficiudthe hill. In that state of things
the case came up here on appeal It appeared to his lord-
ship that whatever grounds there might be for the difficulty
which the Lord Chaecellor of Ireland had felt as to giving
effect to this transaction, the mode in which he tried to get
over that difficulty was not consistent with the practice of
courts of equity ; for this was an issue between co-plaintiffs, awl
not between a plaintiff and defendant, as one of the co-
plaintiffs would be equally entitled, and the defendant.'
of
would be equall
tendered. Ity responsibmileghht well watever
be migh
that the brother,lt t be the resu
the administrator, was unwilling to pay over to the religious
house; but it the sister had a lee claim, he was equally
bound to discharge it either to her or to her legal repre-
sentative, the trustee of the religious house. The mode of
trying this quo ibis's wee therefore one which ought not to
have been resorted to, and the result of which, if admed,
would not have been beneficial to any of the parties. That
part of the decree, therefore, could not be maintained, as he
had observed in the course of the argumentran Mt
. T, brought
him to the other objection, which spg. Tot
positien of the parties. If the trusaction between
the sisters and the religious house was valid, then the
suit ought to have been brought by the assignees of the
equitable interest alone. For this was an equitable and not
a legal interest. The defendant (the administrator), too,
was entitled to know the exact character of the persons who
were suing, since he was entitled to defend himself by show-
ing that the parties suing had no interest in the suit. But
that position the plaintiffs were afraid of putting themselves
in ; they thought that by joining one of the assignors in the
same suit the difficulty would be avoided They were fortu-
nately =Utak. n. Two parties, with inconsistent rights,
could not join as co-plaintiffs. That was settled in the case
of " Cholmoudeley v. Clinton" (Turner and Rue.ell, 116) ;
and that case could not in this respect be distinguished from
the present. If the bill stated the case truly as to these par
ties, and as to the execution of the deed now sought to be
enforced, there is a misjoinder of parties, which is fatal to
the suit. If the assignees are entitled, the assignor, who is
a co-plaintiff with them, cannot be entitled. The title is in
one or the other. Any joining them as plaintiffs is contrary
to the practice end principles of the court. A party having
no interest cannot be joined with a party who has. If the
assignment be valid the assignor has no interest in the
subiect.—Judgmeot accordingly.
COURT 010 BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr. Commissioner lane.
W, Howler's BANKRIMTCY.—This was the adjourned
last examination of the bankrupt, a bookseller, of the Strand.
Daily News on the occasion of the last meeting.—The bank-
rupt, in anew, r to questions from Mr. Lawrence, on the part
ot the assignees, said he kept a private ledger, a day book,
and a petty cash book, but no general cash book. In Oct.,
1847, he had given an assignment et his household furni-
ture, valued at 4741., to secure an advance of 6001. made to
him in June, 1816, by Ann Botham, Mrs. Howitt's mother.
There was an understanding that the security should be
given. Was in difficulties at that time, owing to liabilities
in connexion with the People's Journal. In May, 1847, he
went out of that concern, a person named Saunders and ano-
ther undertaking the payment of the debts. He had put
7001. into the concern. Did not think himself insolvent in
October, 1847. His property consisted of his own journal ;
it was impossible to say at what be estimated that. He now
owed above 3.0301 ; the majority of these debts were contracted
prior to October last. The liabilities in connexion with the
Peoples Journal amounted to 2,7001. He was still liable
for tho-e. One proof had been now tendered on his estate
by Messrs. Bradbury and Evans.—Mr. Lawrence submitted
that the bankrupt must have been hopelessly insolvent at
the time the security was given to Mrs. Botham. The
bankrupt had disposed of all his copyrights is the present
year, leaving only that of his Journal for tke assignees to dis-
pose of. lie understood that books to the value of 3001.
were in the hands of Mr. Layton, a bookbinder, which were
not specified in the balance-sheet.—The bankrupt said it
must have escaped the notice of his bookkeeper. —The Com-
missioner intimated that an amendment might be introduced
into the balance-sheet to that effect —The Solicitor for the
bankrupt stated that his difficulties were entirely attribut-
able to his coinlexion with the People's Journal. Saunders
and Tyrrell had paid him 1001. on going out, and assured
him that the liabilities were in course of settlement. He
then established 11,noitt's Journal, and had every prospect
of being able to meet e'l his liabilities.—Mr. Lawrence
said he must have been very sanguine indeed, to indulge
any such notion.—The Commissioner said he could not
positively blame any matter for going on so long as his cre-
ditors did not take proceedings against him.—Mr. Lawrence
said there was a lamentable uiscrepancy between the assets
and the liabilities.—The Commissioner said the assets were
not altogether despicable; they were put down at 1,1001.
Bet ail these were questions for the certificate meeting ; he
had only now to ascertain that the bankrupt had given a full
and fair account of his transactions. What had passed had
not made any impression on his mind against the bankrupt.
—The bankrupt was then allowed to pass, with the amend-
ments in the balance-sheet which had been suggested
allowance was applied for by the bankrupt's solicitor. —The
Commissioner said the application should have been made in
the first instance; fur if a bankrupt wee really honest, he
was absolutely penniless.—Mr. Lawrence said the assignees
had no objection to 31. a we, k and an order was made for
that amount. —The certificate meeting was appoffited for the
24th of August.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTERN CIRCUIT.—EXETER, JULY 24.
Non emen.—liefore Mr. Janice Coleridge.
DINGLE V. DAKEE.—SEDUCTION.—NEW TRIAL.—MT.
Serjeant Kinglake and Mr. Greenwood were for the plaintiff;
and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Holdsworth for the defendant.—
In this case B. Dingle, a lessee of turnpikes, residing at
Townstall, sought to recover damages for the loss of service
of his daughter, Maly Dingle, by reason of the defendant,
Mr. 11. M. Baker, a wine and spirit merchant, of Dartmouth,
having seduced her. The case was tried at the
assizes this time twelve months, by Chief Justice
Wilde, when. upon Mr. Crowder commencing his ad-
dress for the detendant, that learned judge stopped
him and directed a ftonsuit to be entered because the plaintiff
had failed to show a suflicient loss of serviet to sustain the
action. An appeal was made to' the court above, and the
judges decided that Chief Justice Wilde was in error in
his conception of the law, and that he ought not to have
stopped the case. The consequence of this decision was that
the action came now to be tried over again. The facts are
briefly these. At an electim ball given by Mr. Moffatt (the
then defeated candidate) in January 184 i, at Dartmouth, Mr.
Biker, who was 3:3 yeses of age, introduce.i himself to Mary
Dingle, a girl of 17, and by paying her m3rked attention
and dancing with her frequently succeeded its obtaining her
good opinion. He continued to pay her respectful attention I
for some time, until one evening in September.. 1845, ho
overtook her on horseback as she was walking with her ids.
ten near Dartmouth, and induced her to mount belOnd him.
He set the horse off into a gallop ; she became frightened.
and jumped off; he also alighted, and having separates: her
from her friends, offended her with improper proposals ;
ilia
conduct made her weep, and he begged forgiveness. Severel
times atterwazds the same scenes occurred. On April 14,
1846, she went from Week-gate, where she was stationed to
take the tolls for her father, to Dartmouth, and on that occa-

_—e.---e-------if--_
sion she was accompanied by her younger sister, Reheece
Dingle, and her cousin, Nam PoPP•eetenhee She =Asked
to separate from them and to meet Mend r. Bakeer,
them who suticketsbm-
quently met her two companions
strolling playersm being at
tor the play—a company of
them the
the time in the town—telling y would find
their !sister there. This it turned out, was only a ruse to
dispose of them. The defendant returned to Mat). Dingle. ',
and at a spot near his own house he offered her some cham-
pagne ale, producing at the same time from his pocket a
bottle sad glass. She refired to drink at first, but was
pressed, assured it was perfectly harmleas, &c., and at last
she drank off a glue of the liquor. The defendant would
not think, alleging as an excuse that he bad been taki•Az
brat dy and water, and smoking, and ale would not so,„
with him. But, according to the young woman's evidence,
and it struck her as being very strange, he not only refused
to drink himself, but threw away the bottle and. what
was left in the glass. She described her feeliege c
harter
that glass of ale as ' being very giddy, ar.d hardly
knowing what passed. Be commenced taking li'oerties with
her, decoyed her into a stable, and there, whilst she
wes almost senseless, took advantage ot her. She remained
with him from nine in the evening until half-put eleven,
when she rejoined her sister and cousin, who remarks e upon
, her disordered appearance. From that time frequent inte r-
I worse took place between them up to the lead of August,
and the result was that a child was horn in April, 18-16.
Upon the defendant's discovering her situation, he persuaded
her to go to a coesin's in Exeter, and gavo her two
s evereigns, and asked her to conceal her situation from her
parents, making them believe she was gone into service. lk
gave her also 31. to go to Exmouth, where Eli Tot r, the
cousin in Exeter, passed as her husband, and 21. 10e. mere,
when that was exhausted. On the eve of Christmas-day
1846, she r -turned to a house provided by her parents, who
bad been then just informed of the real state of the case,
and soon afterwards Mr. Baker, according to her statement,
offered to give her 301. to put the child u• on a gentleman
living at Dartmouth. She refused, but offered to conceal
who the lather was, if he would give her the 301. Be re-
fused, and mid she might do her best; he would etyma
through thick and thin he had never known her ; he would
employ the belt lawyer to be had for money, and get a me-
dical man's certificate of the impossibility of his being the
lather. During the time she was absent from Dartmouth,
at Exeter and Exmouth, the wrote to the detendant several
' letters; but he never committed himself in writing,
an
consequently no letters could he produced to corroborate
those portions of the girl's evidence to which there were no
witnesses, but she sustained unshaken a most rigid cross-
isenecea Joiner°, alarm ropmestone, and Eli Torr, confirmed
the different circumstances in which they bad been ewe-
s, nteel as the actors.—At about five o'clock the case for the
laintiff cloud, and hie lordship adjourned the hearing of
-e.nce until the following morning.

BERULARY iIT SIE MEN WITH BLACKENED: ACES.—
J. Greenwood, 29, and B. Greenwood, 22, werindicted
for a burglary in the house of Saran Crabtri e, at Haworth,
near Bradford.—Mr. Overend and Mr. Pollock were for the
prosecution; Mr. Blanchard defended the prisoners—The
prosecutrix is an infirm old person residing at a lonely farm-
house, the only persons living with her being her three
daughters. On the r'ght of the 21th of March last, about
nine o'clock, when the inmateshad retired to rest, a whistling
was heard without. One of the daughters opened the door to
ascertain the cause, when cis men, with blackened laces,
ru hed put her into the house. They rich lighted a candle
and proceeded to ransack the house, at the same time de-
manding the money of which the prosecutrix was possessed
They remained in the house till about eleven o'clock, and
then walked off, taking with them Gl. in money, two gold
rings, a purse, two hams, some bacon, and other property.
Notwithstanding that the men had their laces blackened,
Ann Crabtree was able to recogn'se the prisoner James
Greenwood, and this was all the;direet testimony in the case.
As against iticbtrd Gee, nwood the evidence was, that sub.
srquent to the robbery he offered to se" one of the geld
rings to a beer-house keeper at Bradford, and upon the
landlord remarking that the ring must have bees stolen,
Richard replied that it- had—that it came from the house
where the three or foil. women I;ved.—James Greenwood
was found Guilty, and sentenced to eight yearn' transporta-
. lion ; the other man was Acquitted.

POLICE .-Y
_ ESTERDAY.
GUILDHALL.—Txc CASE OP JOHN BALLARD LLOYD
—Mr. Lloyd attended at this court, before Aldermen John-
son, and wished Motto read 'statement that he had written.
--Mr. Ald. Johnson refused to hear it.—Mr. Lloyd observed
that be considered the money to have been sent by the pubic
to prevent him from applying to the pariah.—Mr. Ald. John-
son said he had made up his mind on that subject. The
money was not intended to relieve the parish from giving
him and his family proper support if they needed it, and he
did not see how he could be permanently benefited. He
appeared to have no settled place, as ha had rejected the
one which had been suggested to him. He should there-
tore leave the matter to the contributors as to the disposal
of their money.—Mr. J. U. Lloyd then left the court.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Penticarion WITHOUT PUINT-
INO NAME. —A. E. Delalosse, a Spitalfields weaver,
was summoned for having unlawfully published and
circulated a certain printed paper, without having the name
or place of abode of the printer attached thereto, whereby he
had rendered himself liable to any penalty not exceeding all.—
Mr. Child, who attended far the prosecution, stated that the
present charge arose out of a continued system of persecution
and annoyance to which his client, Mr. William Clulf, a silk
manufacturer in Spital-square, had for a length of time been
subjected, and which was not only calculated to produce great
mental discomfort to him and his family, but also materially
to injure himlin his business. The subject of complaint in
the first instance assumed the form of a libellous pamphlet,
which was extensively circulated about the neighbourhood
where he resided, and the tendency a which was of so in-
jurious a character that he felt himself impera-
tively called upon to institute a prosecution, in the shape
of several indictments at the Central Criminal Court against
parties engaged in its circulation, and had thereby effectually
succeeded in suppressing the pamphlet itself ; but in order to
keep up the hostile feeling against him, the same persons had
recently adopted the device of distributing printed slips, con-
taining forcible comments upon the subject of the former
proceedings, and which had had such an effect tai on the ig.
reorient inhabitants of the neighbourhood that butt he and I.is
family were constantly insulted and hooted at whenever they
walked the streets. lie should be able to show that several
of these obnoxious publications were distributed by the de-
fendant, who had acted as secretary at a meeting convened
some time since for the purpose of raising subscriptions on
behalf of the persons under indictment ; and as the matter at
complaint was printed upon slips of paper which had no
printer's name attached to them, he submitted the defendant
had clearly broupbt himself under the provisions of the statute
39 Oeo. 111., Cap. 79, sec. 27, by which it was enacted that
any person who should publish or disperse, or assist in pub-
lishing or dispersing, any printed paper or book on which the
name and place of abode of the person printing the same
should not be printed as aforesaid, should, for every copy of
such paper so ptolished, &c., forfeit the sum of 201., miti-
gated by a subsequent act to not less than 51.—Two wit-
nesses, named Ja. e Bernaine and Hem y Thomas. were then
called, and prov.,d that on the evening of the 11th of May
last they met the def ndant at a public-house in White's.
row, Bethnal-green, and that he handed to them the papers
produced.—Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the defence,
coctsndcil that this case was not one which came properly
within the meaning of the statute referred to, inasmuch av
the Sedition Act was expressly passcd to prevent the publi-
cation of libellous articles, without the name of a printer
t eing appended to them who could be held responsible for
the nature of the it contents. He should be able to prove
that the printed articles produced were merely extrarts from
a newspaper called the London Mercantile Journal, in
which a report of the meeting before a'luded to had been '
published, and that they had been solely an ack off
for the convenience of the reporters attending for
that paper, and who were unable at the t'sue to
obtain the names of several of tho .peckers.—A few
of these slips had thus accidentelly got into circuit'.
lion, and though he must admit that if they had been issued'
as substantive publications the defendant would be undoubt-
edly liable, it was manifestly not the &se in this instance,
as not only were they headed with an acknowledgment of
the source from which they were taken, but he then held in
Ws hand the paper itself, containing a verbatim report of
the same meeting, and in which, of course, the names
of the printer and publisher were duly and legally
set forth. It was a matter of daily occurrence with almost
every paper in London to furnish such slips ter particular
purpose., and, the praotice having subsisted for at least
halt a century, it was certainly a qui etion of much import-
ance whether a usage of such long continuance could now be
disturbed. The defendant, in thu instance, disavowed any
intention to act contrary to law, his only object having been
to promote the formation of a fund for the defence of his
fellow-workmen under prosecution by Mr. Cluff, and he
trusted, if the magistrate should consider it a case fur a con-
viction under the act, he would exercise the
power of mitigation vested in him by the Police
Act, and reduce the penalty to a merely nominal amount.—
Mr. Child said that his client was far from heir g actuated by
any vindictive feeling, and would be perfectly satisfied with
the infliction of any such penalty as would be sufficient to
secure himself and his family from a continuance of the per-
secution they had so lung been subjected to.—Mr. liammill
said that the terms of the act were imperative is requiring
the name of a printer to every printed paper put into circu-
lation, in order to obtain the authorship of any libellius
matter; and though the name of the newspaper from which
those in question were said to have emanated was certainly
prefixed to them, he was clearly of opinion that that was
wholly insufficient, as there was not that timothy to get at
the publisher or printer that the act required ; and it was
quite obvious that ouch headings and prefixes might be made
' to the most objectionable articles, and in the most unwar-
rantable manner. The defendant had decidedly been guilty
of an infringement of the act, and he should, therefore, as a
severe punishment was not pressed for, merely order him to
pay the mitigated penalty of 40s. and the costa.
CLERKENWELL.—ANOTHER CLERK ENWELL-OREEN
" DEMONAIMATIOH."—J. S. Orr, who described himself as
a preacher, residing at No. 26, St. John's-square, Clerken-
well, was charged with having caused a riot and mob on
Clerkenwell-green.—On Mor day night, Inspector Julian
received information that the prisoner was addressing a mob
on Clerkenwell-green, and using language calculated to ex-
cite the public. He proceeded thither, and took him to the
station-house. The prisoner exhibited a printed bill, headed
a " Sign of the Times," saying that their petition had been
thrown out of the house, it was destroyed, but if it had been
presented by persons of property, it would not have been
thrown out. On being ordered away by the police, he re-
fused to go, saying he was acting under a superior authority.
He was preaching about the "rights of man," and republi. a-
nism, and advocating equality,and alluded to the recent affairs
its France, &c., and said he was determined to have equali,.,
Oat his way to the station-hone he dropped • tract of a so

prisoner was re%ognised as Minns been before in custody tor

persons core,ng up stairs, her room door was opened,
awl a man, whom she believed to be the prisoner Hawkins,
entered the room, and came to her bedside. She was much

the fellows said " It's all right," and they then left the
room, lockin a^ies Croxford is. She then heard one person
go up stairs, ther down, and the third, as the supposed.
in an adjoining room, hut from the noise she heard almost
immediately afterwards over head, she felt convinced tint s
there must be more than one person there. She got out of 4.

against her bedroom door, quietly opened the window, and
called police. She bad done so for tw > or three minutes

enunin'tion of the
Mr.premies, the first thing that presented pc
itself on the stairs was r Wollop's cash-Mien unopened,
and on proceeding to Wollop'e bedroom, her jewel-
cans were found on the floe and the jewellery strewn about

bery it is not possible at present to sate front the circum-
stance of the family being at the Isle of Wight. The bur-
If
glars had removed the covering from the cage of a canary in
the lower part of the house, and smoked tobacco under the
bird, in order—as it was supposed—to prevent its singing and
arousing the inmates. An entrance to the house had evi• li
dently been effected by some slim person getting between the
iron bars of the kitchen window and opening the sash, and
near the back door by which the thieves made their escape A 4
a pair of boots of very peculiar make and appearance had 1.!
been left by ono of them. In the course of imp:ides ineti- j
toted by Inspector Cumming, of the N division, he ascer-
tained that the pnooner Wilson bad formerly lived in
the family as page boy, and as he felt confident that
some person well acquainted with the premises must have
been concerned the robbery, Fs suspicions were directed
in that querter, and the three prisoners were taken into cus-
tody. The inspector observed Hawkins leave the flamp-
stead-road, on Monday afternoon, and go towards some
fields, where he lost sight of him behind some buildings for
two or three minutes, and haying waited till he again made
his appearance, took him into custody, and on a special con-
stable named Price, who had accompai ied the inspector,
examining the spot where the prisoner bad been, he found
four gold bracelets and a gold cro-s and heart (Art of the
property stolen), concealed under acme dirt. Hawkins had
on at the time of his apprehetueon, a pair of shoes precisely ;
corresponding with those found in Mr. Wollop's e
house, the latter of which fitted him. Wilson
was apprehended at his residence, and in a tea caddy in his a
room a gold locket and heart and cross were found concealed 21
amongst some hemp seed. A knife with three blades, so
formed as to he a perfect screw driver, wsa also found in his
peaseesion. Further evidence was also given to prove that if
this hail been a weli-planned burglary,. and that in order to
ascertain the best time of carrying it into effect, Hawkins
had called at the house a few days since, and having in- ,
quired for the page, who was out at the time, elicited from I,
the servant the time at which the family would leave town.
It was further proved that the prisoners had all three been
seen in company a few days ago, and that on the same day :
(Thursday last) Wilson made some inquiries as to when the
family would leave town.—Mr. Broderip remanded the pri-
soners fee a week.

crowded, in the expectation of seeing both brothers placed
in the dock together. William, however, did not make his
appearance, though it was stated that the police bad been
on the look-out for hint. At the close of the depoeitione,
Mr. Pelham, who sprit and for the defence, said he was pre-
pared to show, by a host of the mos t reepecteble witnesses
that the prisoner was not the penult who had caused Do-
herty to tell into the river, but that the accident was occa-
sioned by William GIN cue, who, though not then in the
court, would be forthcoming at a brief notice.—Mr. Bailin-
tine declined to hear the witnesses whom Mr. Pelham pro-
Mlto produce. There was direct and positive evidence
the court that the prisoner was the man who bad
committed the felony, and on that evidence he should be
sent ti gaol. The prisoner was accurdiug.y committed
to take his trial for the wilful murder.

NONE) MARKET.
TUMIDLY Eva..
With Irish affairs still of the same undecided
so far as the absence yet of overt acts of actual rebel
lion may be so construed, the funds were quite in estate
of confusion to-day. Consols were down to 85; to Z,
and so left off for money and time, say a fall from yes-
terday of 14 per cent. Such an extraordinary de-
cline, without any cause or causes more visible or
appreciable than the state of Ireland, absolutely
more tranquil to appearance, or the weather
of somewhat doubtful aspect, or potato dis-
ease which must be taken for granted as
progressing, with the consolatory drawback how-
ever of the much greater breadth of ground planted
this than last year, which leaves room for hope of
healthy escape fora proportion much short of scarcity,
would seem to favour the supposition that some cause
more grave still, but yet undisclosed to the public,
must remain behind to account for it. There would
appear to be no question that the public have been
sellers, and that alone shotild exercise a material in-
fluence upon the market, but a tall of such mag-
niLude is withal not the less unaccountable
from anything that has transpired. Reduced
Threes were 83; to 6. Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 861 to 7. Long Annuities, 8; to 13-16. Ex-
chequerßills. 425. to 465. premium.
Foreign stocks underwent little alteration in
prices, but were heavy and in smell demand.
Mexican were called 17 to 8 Brazilian, 69 to 71.
Peruvian, 30 to 3. New Granada, 11, to 121.
Spanish Fives, 118 to 12; the Threes, 213 to 2;

Danish, 68 to 70. Russian, 9S to 100.
Foreign exchange varied little to-day from last
post day. On Hamburg the rates were higher ; on
Paris short bills were scarce. The no•notia'ions
were : On Amsterdam 12.21 to 8 ; on Rotterdam,
12.2} ; on Hambvig, 13.111 to 12 ; on Frankfort,
121 k to 2 ; on Paris, at short, 25.10 to 45 ' • on
Vienna, at short. 11.30 to 40 ; on Leghorn, 31.40 to
50 ; on Naples, 36 ; on Madrid, 43 to 5 ; on Cadiz,
471 to B—all, except as expressed, at 3 months. On
Lisbon, at 60 days, 52.
There as a report on 'Change of di-agreeable
advices from Liverpool and Manchester to the effect
that club organisations of the multitudinous Irish
labourers were found to exist there of very dangerous
extent, which the local authorities were adopting vi-
gorous measures to repress and disarm, whilst, as a
precautionary measure, the government had taken
possession of the electric telegraphs.
It appears by the advices from the United States,
brought by the Cambria, that the states of Illinois
and Indiana had proceeded to pay on the Ist instant
the half-yearly interest on their debta, pursuant to the
laws enacted on the adoption of the compromise pro-
posed to, and accepted by, their creditors here. These
payments were made from the proceeds of uirect
taxation then resorted to for the first time for such a
purpose, and, as seems, successfully so far. The state
of Illinois pays only 6 dollars on the brad of 1,000,
being one-fifth of the amount of the coupon for 30
dollars due, but made pro rata on all the debt.
It will be remembered that, according to the compro-
mise, the great canal, now in operation, was made
over as an additional security fund for payment of the
debt in fell hereafter, the creditors meanwhile having
subscribed a certain amount to complete that under-
taking, and render it available as a source of revenue.
The state of Indiana pays by agreement 24 per cent.
half-yearly dividend on ono-haif the principal of the
whole debt ; the remaining half, with a moiety of the
accumulated interest, being charged xi the canal, And
the state exonerated by the amagnment.
