EQUITY COURTS.
Ile:ore the Mester of the Has.
N=N 'TON t'. ASKEW. VALIDITY ill' SETTLEIIIII4II3.
This suit was instituted by Mrs. Newton, the wi'e of Mr.
Augustus Newton, to bays the benefit of certain settle-
ments made upon her and her children, by her late father,
Sir Robert Tristram Ricketts., Bert., deceased. 11 ap-
peared that in October, 1828, Mr. and Mrs. Newton mar-
ried, and that no settlement was made on the maniere. In
June, 1832, Sir Robert Ricketts invested a sum of 2,0001. in
the purchase of 2,1971. 16s. Three and a-Ralf per Cent. Re-
duced Annuities, in the names of Thomas Askew and
Joseph Cooper Strafford, and by an indenture, to which he
himself and Askew and Strafford were parties, dated the
30th of June, 1832, he decline' the trusts of this sum of
stork to he fur himself for lite, and then for Mrs. Newton for
lice for her separate use, and then for her children, and in
default of children in trust for Mrs. Newton absolutely. if
she should survive her husband, but if she died in Ms life-
time, in trust for such persons as she should by will appoint,
and in default of appointment in trust fur her next of kin, ex-
clusive of her husband. And the indenture contained
no power for Sir Robert Ricketts to revoke the trusts of the
settlement. In August, 1840, Bir Robert Ricketts was de-
sirous of alterint the trusts of the settlement, mid accord-
ingly, by • deed dated the 6th August, 1840, and made
between Sir Robert Ricketts and the same trustees, without
referring to the former settlement, and merely reciting the
fact that he had invested 2 0001. in the purchase of
2,1971. 16s. 3W. reduced annuities in the names of Askew
and Stratford, and was desirous of declaring the trusts
thereof he declared sirMlar trusts for himself, and Mrs.
Newton and her children, but he gave Lady Ricketts, Ins
wife, a life interest prior to that given to Mrs. Newton, and
he took away her power to appoint the fund, in ease there
ware no chi.dr. n and Mrs. Newton sunned her husband;
givir g the fuud in those events to her next of kin, t xelueive
of her husband. Sir Robert Ricketts died in 1812. On his
death a copy of the settlement of August, 1840, was fur-
nished by the trustees to Mrs. Newton, but in answer to
repeated applications by he r respecting the settlement of
1832, they refused to give leer any information about
it, or any copy of it, and they paid the divi-
dends of the stock to Lady Ricketts, treating the
second settlement as valid, end the tint as altogether re-
voked by the second aid icoyerative. In consequence of
+hi- conduct to the part of the trustees, Mrs. Newton insti-
tuted this suit not only insisting on the benefit of the first
settlement as irrevocable, but also that the second settlement
was meant to be an additional tweeieion for her, and asking
(or the removal of the preaei.t trustees and the appointment
of others.—Messrs. Tun or and Elderton, fur the plaintiff,
contended that the first settlement vat irrevocable ; and
that, as the trustees had treated the secoud settlement a'so
as a valid instrument, the court ought to give effect to both.
Although it were trues that only one sum of 2.1971.
Reduced Annuities was bought by Sir Robert Ricketts, yet
it must be presumed thet it was his intention to pun hale a
further SUM of that amount, and that the declaration of trust
in the second deed operated as &covenant on his part to do so,
which could be enforced in equity. They also contended that
the trustees had acted improperly in refusing information, and
that they ought on that account to pay the costs of he suit.
—Messrs. 'Loup. II and Hall, for the trustees and Lady
Ricketts, contended that it was clearly the intention of the
testator to settle one sum only, and that the second deed
could rant be construed as • covenant to settle a further sum.
—Mr. Newton appeared in person as one of the defender tee.—
The Maser of the Rolls said he could entertain no doubt
whatever that one sum only was the subject of both settle-
ments. The first settlement was irrevocable, and effect must
be given to it. The trusts declared by it could not be ef-
fected by the second settlement. There must be an account
of the dividends since the death of Sir Robert Ricketts, and
they must be paid over to Mrs. Newton on her separate re-
ef ipt. The conduct of the trustees in refusing the informs-
lion required of them was improper, and they must pay the
come of the suit as between party and party, and the pietist.
tiff's extra costs must come out of the fund. The injunction
on the testator's assets must be dissolved, and the trustees
removed.

Before the Ttee-Chancellor of Eastland.
ATTOIINZT-GENEItAL C. W I.I.BON.—LAUT HEWLP.I( 'S
C ALM. —J VDOXENT.—Mr. Bethell was heard in reply in
this case, after which the Vice-Chancellor sa;d he had had
so much opportunity during the arguments to consider Ida
judgment that he should at mice state what conelusion he
had come to. His opinion was, that in determining the
question the court was only bound to look at the words of
the deeds under which the property was given, and in doing
so it was necessary to have resort to such evidence as could
I be adduced of the meaning of the colloquial expressions of
the time when those deeds were executed ; and it appeared
to him that from the description of the parties, and from what
was to be found upon the face of the d. eds, if over there was an
essentially English transaction, this was one. Lady Hew],"
herself was au English woman, she was dealing with
English property, and had married an English gentleman,
whose widow she was, and all the trustees named were Eng-
lish ; and in respect of some of them it was proved that they
were of the same religious sentiments as Lae y Ilewley. The
first deed was that of 1704, which declared the trusts of the
charity, and the first material words were, " for the benefit
of poor and godly preachers of Christ's holy Gospel." The
question then mainly depended upon what cant' uction was
to be given to those words; and his opinion was, that the
deed of 1707, which directed the foundation of the hospital,
must be taken to form part of the transaction. This was the
opinion of the judges upon a former occasion; and he thought
it was the fair and true legal view of the matter to say that
the two deeds were so blended together that they could not be
taken separately. Lady Ilewley died in Sept., 1710; and it ap-
peared by the sermon preached immediately otter her death
by Mr. Coltman that she had been a member °Chia congrega
tion. It appeared to his Honour that in a great degree this
question had already been determined; it bad been i.ecided
that no unorthodox dissenter or member of the church of
England should participate in the charity; it therefore fol-
lowed that you must adept the orthodox dissenters only.
Baron Gurney, in the judgment given before the House of
LorcLe bed given his dear opinion upon this point. The
queer ion now was, whether the members of the kirk of Scot-
land, or members of the secession church—and as regarded
his view if the ere the two must be taken in the same light
—whether they could be comprehended within the meaning
of the words " godly preachers of Christ's holy Gospel." Now
it was manif. at from history, and from the state of things,
that though to a certain extent the Scotch church had pre-
dominated, their system of church government had never
been carried into effect by any law in England. After the
act of Charles 11. there came the Act of Toleration in 1689 ;
and then the happy union, as it was called, took place in
IC9I, which wee dissolved about four years afterwards ; and
this state of things remained the same at the time
of Lady Hewley's death. So it appeared that in
1704, Lady Ilewley was making a deed, when the words
"godly preachers" would be understood to mean orthodox
English dissenters of the time. His Honour thought the
words used must be taken in the most general view, and be
held to apply only to English orthodox dissenters. Lady
liewley had herself expressed that the objects of her charity
should be selected from Yorkshire, and other northern
counties. Now it was singular that the word counties, al-
though the most usual expression in England, was never
used in Scotland ; and that was another reason for sup-
posing that Lady liewley intended this to be a purely Eng-
lish charity. He must, therefore, attribute this meaning Lathe
words that besides the persons to lee chosen being of a particu-
lar religious character, they were also to have a local cha-
racter Of English ; and unless it could be shown that
there was a residence to a considerable extent of Scotch
persons in England the generality of the expeession
must prevail, and the charity must be considered as
a provision for those who have the character of orthodox
English dissenters. It further appeared that one
of the rules laid down for the instruction of poor people was,
that they should learn the catechism which had been com-
piled by Mr. Bowes. Now Mr. Bowes was one of thous
ministers who had been ejected from their livings. This
again was another proof of Lady Hewley's own religious

opinions. When once this view of the case was establisftd
..verytbing Om followed es • matter ul consequence. Is
..hould therefore make a declaration that the words 'r gody
preachers (or the time hying of Christ's holy gospel," in tie
deeds of 1704 end 1707, described generally those who et
the time of Lady Flowley's death erre, and thosewtu
thereafter should be, orthodox English ministers of dissect-
ing churches and congregations, essentially and substantialy
in doctrine and discipline the same as the orthodox diosentiig
conaregations existing in 1704 and 1707, and therefore tlet
orthodos English diasenters of baptist sod independent eel-
vregatione, and presbyteriens Al. wore not united tour
under the kirk of Scotland, were alone entitled to partioipve
in the benefit provided by those deeds for godly preachersof
Christ's holy gospel.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
sittings at Ma Prim lo Trinity Term, before Mr. Baron Parke, rt
Westmlosur.
Jotrint e. SMITH AND °THURS.—COACH PROPKIETWM—
NUOLIoeNCI.—Mr. Watson and Mr. Welsby appeared for
the plaintiff ; and Mr. Martin and Mr. enimpton for the
defentlants.—Tho plaintiff is an attorney, practising at Doh
golly, who brought this action to recover conspennation from
the defendants, as the proprietors of a coach, for negligent
driving on the part of the coachman, who was also included
in the writ. It appeared that the plaintiff wan journeying
on the coach from Dolgelly towards Liverpool on the 17tt
of September last, and that he was seated behind the coach-
man on the off-side. Between Corwen end Llangollen is a
bill, in the middle of which it would appear that the tom-
sniesioners bad placed a toll bar, the house of which was
graced with a portico, which projected seven inches beyond
the gatepost. As the coach passed through the gate, the
plaintiff's right arm came in contact with the portico, and
he received such injuries as rendered it necessary that he
should stay at Llangollen. When surgical aid was obtained
it appeared that his arm was broken and violently ciintuived,
but In two days the bone was set, and in four he returned
to his residence, where alter three or four months he was
restored tun= =Met nenitn, alien Ltde tuition was ormagnt.
On the part of the plaintiff it was contendi d that the Cit.
tindants were liable on the ground that they hail got an ill-
matched team of horses, one of them Is. ine sluggish and
slow, end dragging the coach over to the offside of the road,
so as to cause the injury to the plaintiff, either through the
stubbornness of the horse or the incept, ity or the driver,
who, it was ion' ought to have put on the " skid," and
to have driven the coach, which wu heavily loaded, more
slowly down the hill. On the part of the defendants gee.t
complaint was made that the plaintiff had brought hie action
in London instead of Wiles, and his witnesses were cross-
examined with the view of showing that he had stated soon
after his arrival at Llangollen that it was purely an accident,
and all (Denies were to blame. the cemmi siouer for ailowing
such a pr jection, the coachman for ilrit ing toil near to it, and
the plaintiff himself for incautiously leaning too tar over the
seat.—At the close of the case. tile. Baron Puke left it to
the jury to sal whether they thought the defendants were
guilty of any breach of duty in the selection of the horse or
the coachman in driving the each. If so, then would arise
the question whether the injury had been sustained by the
plaintiff in any way through his own fault or want of cau-
tion ; for if so he could not recover, the law being that,
where both parties, by their concurrent default, contributed
to the collision, neither party ooild recover from the other.
If they thought that the plaintiff was not to blame, and
that the fault rested entirely with the defendants, they would ,
find fur the plaintiff, with such reasonable damages for his
expenses, loss of time, and personal suffering, as
they might think proper under the circumstances,
the case not being put as one involving any fla.
grant negligence on the part of tie defendants.—
The jury, not being able to spree, retired, and, after a
lengthened absence, wished to know whether, if they found
for the plaintiff to the extent of his surgeon's hills (14/. 14..),
such a verdict would 'carry costs. His lords:Op, however,
declined to enlighten them on the subject, and they again
retired tlll three o'clock. when they returned into court with
a verdict for the plaintiff, with 2.51. damages, accompanied
by a regret that he should have brought such a case to
London.

PO LICE.-Y VATERDAT.
EXAMINATION uY TIIV. CIIARTNT LItADERS.

BOW•STRERT.--Joseph ll'tll,ams was charged with
using seditious language.
Horace Hardy, police-sergeant, said that, on the 25th May
last, he attended a meeting nn Clirkenwell.green, from 7
o'clock in the evening to half-past 9. There were about
1,200 persons present. A person named Mender. May woe
voted into the chair. May announced the o' jest of the
meeting, which he said was to unite the Irish tont, deters
with the English chart WI on the subject of the Irish trials.
It sou the duty of all Englishmen to join the Irish patriots
in resisting the government and obtaining the repeal of the
union. In the course of a few days they would have a pro.
cession to the Queen, in which he would walk under a black
banner with a death's head sad crossbones inaeri"ed on
it, signifying death or liberty. Williams applauded
this speech with the mob. Williams then moved
the firs; resolution, censuring the government for
prosecuting Mitchel, and pledging the meeting to
use all polaible exertions to 'twist the Irish Confede-
rates in obtaining the liberty of Ireland. Ile said the
mei tieg was called by his debut., in cot.sequenee of a para-
graph which he had seen in an American paper to the effect
that the Canadians were ready to revolt if Mitchel was con-
victed. Ile was certain if a few me. would now make a
stand they would be victorious. The Irish were determined
not to allow Mitchel to be convicted, and if they arose the
soldiers would join them and free him from prison, if the
verdict of the jury did not. He did not wish blood to be
shed, but if they would not fight for a man like Mitchel, they
ought to be d—d. Ile was cheered by the mob, and the
resolu'ion was passed
Richard Moss, G 195, wetted the prisoner on a warrant,
at twenty minutes before five, yesterday morning, at his
lodging in Baholagate.street, where ho was in bed. He said
he expected something.
Mr. Henry thought this a fit case to send before a jury.
Ile would commit the prisoner, but would admit him to
bail.
The same prisoner was then charged jointly with a prisoner
earned A. Sharp with using seditious language at a meeting
on the 2Gth of Man, at the same place.
The sergeant (nerdy) said, that on the 26th May he at-
tended a meeting, commencing at eight and ending at half
past note o'clock in the evening. Tvere were about the same
number of persons present as at the former meeting, and it
was of a similar character. The two prisoners were in the
van which formed the platform. A person, whose name was
announced as Rose, was in the chair. lle took notes, and at
the conclusion of the proceedings made a clean copy, which
he examined with • man named Cross. The copy he pro-
duced wee a verbatim copy. The chairman said the object of
the meeting was to state the progress of the trial of J.
Mitchel, and called on Mr. Williams to address the meeting.
Williams read an extract from an American paper, which
stated that the Canadians were ready to revolt if Mitchel
was convicted. The 72nd regiment were to be removed
from Montreal because they shouted for repeal. The Irish
of New York had had a meeting, at which it was resolved,
if the international law would allow them, to raise a brigade
and send it to Ireland; and, if not now allowed, they would at
the coming election for President only vote for one who
would allow them. They would at all events send arms,
and had cited 100 dollars for that purpose. He then went
on to say that it was the duty of every Englishman to
the Irish confederates, by every means in their power, to
obtain the release of Mitchel, and proceeded to call ant them to
organise by joining the 'society. They were able by means of
organisation to hold more than 3,000 meetings that evening,
and it they had more members they could hold still more. Ile
then read a " vote of censure" on the "damnable, bloody, and
tyrannical government," for prosecuting John Mitchel, and a
Pledge on the part of the meeting to assist the confederates,
which was carried as a resolution. Sharpe, whe seconded the
resolution, said he had been censured fee using such strong
language as he did the evening before, but be would repeat
what he then said, by calling the whigs a base, bloody, and
brutal government. One hundred and fifty thousand Irish
confedt rates had marched into Dublin the evening before,
and no doubt by that time John Mitchel was free. This
meeting caused alarm in the neighbourhood be believed.
The prisoners remained till the meeting broke up.—Croes-
exemined : lie attended the meeting for the purpose of ob-
serving the nature of it, and the language used. by
the direction of the superintendent. By Mr. Henry ; With-
out looking at the notes at all, he remembered what occurred
at the meetings.
A policeman of the 0 division (in private clothes) proved
that he arrested the prisoner Sharpe yesterday morning, in
St. George's-road, St. Luke's, near his own lodging.
The prisoner Williams said that a great part of the evi-
dence was false. Sharpe said it was exaggerated.
Mr. Henry committed them both for trial on this charge,
but said he would admit them to bail is two sureties, each of
1001., and in their own recognisances of 2001.—Williams is •
baker, and Sharpe a copperplate-printer, but unemployed.
They were defended by Mr. Davis, a solicitor.
Joseph Fussell was then placed in the dock charged with
attending an unlawful meeting.
Mr. F. T. bowler, a reporter, attended a meeting held
about seven o'clock on the 29th of May last, at Clerkenwell.
green. Should think there were about 3,000 persons present.
Williams addressed the meeting first. The prison' r
was there, and he made a speech. Witness took
notes of his speech. He said, ' I will tell Lord
John Russell that I have no sympathy with his dam-
nable government. John Mitc'icl had asked whether the
Queen had not forgotten her duty to her country ? I now
ask the same question. If the Queen refuses to recognise
the people, then the people must cease to recognise the
Queen." The witness then proceeded to read from other
extracts—" That the government was too contemptible to
be recognised, and they therefore must overthrow it. There
was one safe way to get rid of those rulers who disobeyed the
people—he meant assassination. lie had five sons, and he
would disown either of them who would refuse to assassinate
any one who was Instrumental in banishing him from his
country for such an offence as that of John Mitchel."
After that Williams desired them to follow him in marching
order, and they then moved off in procession.
Finding that Williams was implicated in this matter
also, Mr. Henry ordered hlm to be placed at the bar with
the prisoner Fussell.
The witness then proceeded to say that the procession
waved off and went through several streets to 01i-street,
wheel Williams again addressed them. The witness went
on to desearibe the course of the procession over a great part
of diatom; during that evening, of which an accotnt was
at the time p:lblished in our columna—Cross•examined

Was sent for on Monday last by Mr. Maule, the solicitor to
the Treasury, with whom be had some conversation on this
subj. et. At his suggestion Mr. Potts r, the newts man who
furnished the report to the Morning Chronicle, was also
sent for by Mr. Manic. They had b. en together during the
whole of the day in question, but did not compare their
notes. Witness attended for the Times, in which paper basreport appeared the nest day.
Policemen 0 192 arrested Fussell at his house in the Cor-
poration-road that morning, on a warrant charging him with
attending an unlawful meeting.
Mr Henry, in committing the prisoners for trial, observed
that he must 'esquire extra boil from Williams on this cue,
as Ito was now charged with attending an illegal meeting,
and using seditious language, on a third occasion. lie roust
give bail in two sureties of 1001. each, and his own recng-
ni.ein eof 2001. on this cue also. The offence was a very
serious one, that of heading a processian at nisbt. An for
Fussell, he must find bail in two sureties of 1101. each, and
his own recognisance of 3001.
Mr. Davis on the part of Williams. observed that 1001.
was an immense sum fore poor man.—Mr. Henry : I hove
taken into account both the prisoner's station in lite at.d the
importance of the charge. If you consider the hail excessive,
you can apply to a judge to take less I cannot do so.
Mr. Maule, the solicitor for the treasury, who prosecuted
in each case, observed that there WWI another charge to be
brought before the court, but the witi.essi a were not at
present in attendance. As won as they could lie brought
forward the ptisoner would be brought before his worship.
Ernest Chorks Jones wee next placed at the bar. Ile was
described as a barrister of the Middle Temple, and a speech
delivered by hint of an inflammatory nature being proved
at great length by Mr. J. White, a short-hand writer, on
Monday, 4th inst., at Bishop Bonner's fields, he was ordered
to put in bail, himself in the sum of 511 UL and two sureties in
escb, to answer the charge of sedition ut the Central

Cr wal Court.
The reading ovir the depositions and binding over the
several witaelae. occupied the court until after 7 o'clock,
when Ali the prisoners were conveyed to Newgate in the

ESIIIEZELISMENT.—E. It. !Wer was charged with forgery
asd cent., inflement.—A Clerk in the Commercial Bank,
dhhury, stated that Meson. 11.11, brothers, of Riche.-
court, Lime street, kept an account at that house ; the
cheritie produced purporting to be that of Messrs. h ell for
the sum of 3601., payable as seamen's wages, Vorfaeshire,
was presented on the 20th of April, and paid by him in a
101. note, a 601. note, • 100/, note, and 2001. is sovereigns.
Tu the best of his belief the prisoner was the pi rson who
presented the chsque.—Mr. T. Agee, clerk In the issue
department of the Bank of England, produced two hank-
notes, which were brought to him on the :oth April, end
for which he paid 1501. in sovereigns. These notes proved
to he those which had been given in payment of the cheque
at the Commercial Bank. —Mr. 11. J. Hall said the signature
to thecheque was neither his nor his heo her's. It purported to
be an imitation of hie signature. Neither hens, his brother
had ever authorised anyone to sign cheques. The prison, r had
been in the service of the firm for A, sere years_ The tilling
up of the cheque was in the prison, is handwri•ing, and
the cheque had been taken from their cheque-book. " A.
Munson, Si, Lime strict, Leadenha I at cut," was written,
upon each of the hank-notes, arid in the prisoner's
haud-
writing.—Mr. nobler, for prisoner : My lord, ray client bus
been labouring under a delusion of mind, which persuades
him that he is entitled sn this money. Hie intention was
certainly not felonium.—The Lord Mayor: It is my duty to
see whether the evidence is not such as would justify me in
committing him fur trial. I have seething at all to do with
his intention.— E. Spearing said he took the prifoner into
custody on Sunday last, at Wriglit's Coffee-house, Charing-
cross, and found at his lodgings two bags containing gold
and other prom rty. Witness took hip into custody, and told
him it was for forgery, and the prisoner add nothing --
Inspector Its ell said he welt the charge against the pri-
seiner, who said he resided in Nelson-street, City-road. The
prisoner told him where to find the property. Wifnem found
a carpetbag in the cupboard, and in it three small bags; the
first contained 761. in geld, the second, 1201., and the third,
271. in gold. The who'e amount found in the possession of
the prisoner was 4041. 10s.—Messrs. Ilan then charged the
prisoner with having ember:4rd the sum of 455. Ills Id.,
which ha had received at the custom house fur his em-
ployers. The 401. note received by the prisoner in payment
of the cheque was traced through a watchmaker, from nhom
he had purchased a watch, chain, and key. The watch had
been pledged for 61.—Mr. Mullens said there were several
other charges against the prieener.—Committed for trial.

attempted to stab police-constable Harrington, N 326,during '
the chartist disturbances on Sunday last —The constable
stated that he was engaged with several other °Accra in fol.
lowing up a section of the mob which had been driven nut of I
Nova Scotia Gardens, when the prisoner made a sudden
stand, and after inciting the crowd to resistance wish eel(' of
" Down with the police," and other violent exclamations,
suddenly pulled a knife from under his coat, and threatened
to stab the first policeman who came near him. Wi•ness
immediately rushed upon him, when the prisoner made a
desperate thrust, which was fortur.etcly prevented from tak-
ing Aid by the timely interference of another constable,
who struck down hie arm, and he was at the same moment
knocked down by the blow of a truncheon from a third
policeman. The prisoner, however, continued his residence
as he lay upon the ground, and it required the united exer-
tions of four conetables to disarm and overpower him.—ln 1
an.wer to the charge the prisoner positively denied having
used the knits, which, he said, had accidentally dropped
out of his pocket, and directed the magistrate's attention to
the appearance of his head, which was extensively covered
with adhesive, plaster over wounds iefiicted, ae he alleged,
by the truncheons of the police.—The complainant's evidence,
however, was fully borne ou- by that cf two other policemen,

Broughton was engaged for some time in the further in-
vestigation of a charge preferred by Mr. Bell. 53, George-
street, liampstead-road, against his lodger, Mr. Mitchell, for
having maliciously stabbed him (complainant) with intent
to do him some tr rievous bodily harm. The particulars of
the first inquiry have ;appeared in the Express.
Numerous witne saes, pro and con, were examined, and Mr.
Broughton, after listening attentivi ly to the case, came to
the conclusion that it was not one which he should feel justi-
fied is sending before a jury, and the warrant was, there.
fore, dismissed.
LAMBETH.—CIItAr COMP.—Mr. Clarkson, the bar-
rister, and Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor, attended before
Mr. Elliott, far the purpose of supporting two summonses,
the one against Mr. J. Church, manager of the Great
Northern Coal Company, for vending coals which on delivery
were found to be considerebly short in weight, and the other
'mind J. Smith, his wasteoner. The defendants, however,
did not appear; but Mr. Clarkson in their absence proceeded
to take such evidence as would justify the magistrate in
taking further proceedings.—Service of summons haling
been proved, Mr. John Sari, of the firm of Sari and Sons,
silversmiths, 18, Combat, deposed that on the 10th of last
month he sent a written order to the office of the Great
Northern Coal Company, 20, Craven-street, Strand, for four
tons cf the beet Wallaend coals, at 20s. a ton, aid requested
that the y might be delivered at his country residence, No.
10, Manor-terrace, Brixton rise. On the following day a
portion of the coals was delivered.—Mr. Clarkson handed
in the vender's printed ticket, which described the Great
Northern Coil Company as of 20, Craven-street, Strand, and
the West London Coal-wharf, Mr. J. Church as the vender,
and J. Smith as the carmen, and submitted that he hod sup-
plied reasonable evidence of the proper service of the
summons agreeable to the act of parliament. The
summons was given into the hands of an adult
person at the house which au mentioned in the
vender's ticket as one of the places of business of the
company.—Mr. Elliott inquired what the deficiency in
the coals delivered amounted to ? —Mr. Clarkson re-
plied that only four sacks were delivered, which were
found to be 241bs. deficient. Even those lour sacks he (Mr.
Clarkson) understood were piked out by the c amen as
those most likely to be the greatest weight —Mr. Elliott
asked what had become of the remaining por ion of the
coals ordered, and was to'd that the carman, Smith, finding
the deficiency in the liege sacks already weighed, drove
off with the remainder, a general trick with this class of
persona—Mr. Elliott Paid he thought the evidence sufficient
to justify him in granting a warrant against Mr. Church,
the vender ; but, as regarded the carman, he would rend a
second summons to be served personally, if

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.

It transpired to-day that the Bank of England has
been making advances for some days past, and still
is, upon Bills of Exchange, Stock, Exchequer Bills,
India Bondi', and other approved securities, at the
rate of 3 per cent. per annum, which is I per cent.
below the minimum charge of the establishment for
discounts. It was formerly the usual course with the
Bank to make such advances for some time previous
to the payment of the divid, nds, of which public
notice was always given at the time. Such
publicity has been latterly discontinued, as not
necessary, since the directors no longer restrict them-
selves to any particular period for making such
loans. Now that the amount of dividends has become
more equally diffused over the four quarters of the
year, in consequence of the arrangements made on the
conversion of the Three-and.a-liaif into Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. by Sir Hobert I'eel, such extraor-
dinary extension of accommodation by loans is no
longer of so much importance as heretofore, when at
two half yearly periods the most heavy payments of
dividends bad to be made, and during several weeks,
in consequence, masses of money from revenue collec-
tions were lodged in the Bank, and thus inconveniently
withdrawn and locked up from circulation. The ob-
ject of the loans was to redistribute temporarily these
hoards among the public, so that the regular require-
ments of trade and industry should be waited upon
with all the attention possible ; the reimbursement of
the loans being fixed at about the same time that
dividends were let out.
This extension of Bank

which

mast have been known in some quarters for several
days past, had probably no small share in the im-
provement of public securities, which commenced
yesterday. The improvement has been fully main-
tained to-day, although with little activity in business.
The dealers and brokors were chiefly occupied with
their books and balancings for the settlement due on

Friday next. Consols were done in the course of the
day at 811, but were mostly quoted, and left off at
811 to', for money and the aiicount day. Reduced

The following statement, prepared and condensed
from various official returns, will be found to present
an intelligible ie iew of the note circulation 1 f the
United Kingdom, and of the coin and bullion held by
the banks indicated, both positively at the date of the
accounts last made up, and comparatively for corre-
sponding periods.
The aggregate average note circulation of the
United Kingdom, according to the retiree last col-
lectively completed for all the batiks of issue, stood, fur
the four weeks ending the 20th of May, as follows:

Increase, May 20 .1:2112,:t0n
The increase was thus composed on balance : Bank
of England more by 95,160/.; private banks less by
1,2871. ; joint stock banks more 18,648/. ; Irish
banks more 31,6394 ; Scotch banks more 218,1481.
The fixed issues of the private banks being
4,860,988/. (deduction made of the insolvent Gran-
tham batik), it follows they were below the amount
1.014,313/.
The fixed issues of the joint stock banks, as given
in the llsnkers' Almanack for this year, being
3,281,9061., it follows they were below the amount
479,048/.
The fixed issues of the Irish hanks being 6,354,4941.,
it follows they were below the amount 1,513,822/.,
and with specie in hand to cover issues for 1,588,4851.
besides.
The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being
3,087,2001., it follows they were above the amount
65,110/., but with specie to cover the surplus, and
962,8271. more.
The average of coin and bullion held by the Bank
of England, during the four weeks ending the 20th
of May, was 13,013,400/. ; decrease on the A:-.rd
return 1,158,073/.
The average of specie held by the Irish banks was
1,588,485/. ; decrease on the April return, 31,3831.
The average of specie held by the Scotch banks
was 1,027.9371.; decrease on the April return, 11,716!.
The yearly comparison with May 22, 1847, shows
the I...flowing differences in the circulation :

From Havana, via the United States, commercial
advice' do not come favourable. Produce, sugars,
was depressed and buyers scarce. Freighta high for
English ship., say 31. 1.55. per ton, whilst American
and other vessels could be had from 3/. to 31. as. Ex-
change on England 16 pm. A strong report was cur-
rent in that city that one half of London was burnt
down by the chartists.
The money and commercial advices from the United
States, by the Cambria, are altogether favourable.
Notwithstanaing the continued shipments of specie
for Europe the banks of New York were well pro-
vided. Crops were looking well all over the union,
and the only drawback was the distrust prevailing as
to the course of political events in Europe.
