RAILWAY NEWS.

There was some slight improvement in the share-
market yesterday, but scarcely equal to what might
have been looked for from the more encouraging ap-
pearance of the funds during the last two ar three
days. One cause for this, however, is assigned to the
inactivity of business partially attributable to the set-
tlement of account in progress which chiefly occupies
the attention of dealers and brokers ; but it is chiefly
owing doubtless to the difficulty of accommodation,
money being scarce and commanding high rates. The
calls upon various lines now in progress have latterly
brought some considerable parcels of shares tomarket,
mostly COOSisting of those of the old lines, as more r. ad ily
available for the purpose of raising the means re-
quired. But as money urgencies were the object of
the sales, purchasers who reckoned upon finding no
obstacle in obtaining cottinuatior.s to another account
on easy terms, if found desirable, are disappointed.
The money was reckoned upon, and is demanded by
the sellers as per conditions of account day, and
being before not easy, the competition of the buyers
of shares for what is to be had has enhanced the rates
and the difficulty of procuring advances on the shares
they hold, to enable them to fulfil their engagements.

not calling Poole ; and as the learned gentleman stated
there wu no wish on the part of the plaintiffs to conceal
anything, he would supply the deficiency. Poole was then
called, who Mated that on the day in question the testator
came to him into the parlour, where he was engaged at work,
and asked him te step out and sign his name as a witness,
and, on his demurring for fear of the consequences, in order
to encourage him, said it was only an agreement between
himself and Joseph Hignett. Accordingly the witness fol-
lowed the testator into the kitchen, and received
from his hands • pen with ink in it, with which
he wrote hie name upon the part of • paper, lying
upon the table pointed out for his signature, received an
expression of thanks, put down the pen on tho ;abie, and
returned to his tailoring again in the parlour. Cartwright
wu not there at all during the time, and he knew it because
he saw him, at the very moment he entered the kitchen, in
the fold-yard.—Mr. Serjeant Taifourd having replied, Mr.
Justice Erle summed up, and the jury found a verdict for
the defendant ; thus establishing the validity of the will, and
the regularity of its attestation.
With this cause terminated, at half-past 4, the business
of the mixes. The eatnrnisaion will be opened to-morrow
evening (Wednesdey) at Hereford.

clearly identified to be that of Collis. Circumstances made
it clear Platte was connected with the murder, for which be
was afterwards executed. On the Monday night, between
ten and eleven, three persons were seen carrying a bundle.
It was sworn those persons were Platte, the prisoner, and a

Desux, JULY 27.
Some of our public companies, notwithstanding
the depression of the times, are in a very flourishing
condition. The Dublin and Glasgow Steam-packet
Company, whose trade lies between Glasgow, Dublin,
and Cork, are enabled to declare a dividend of 7 per
cent. on their paid-up capita/.

The relief committees, all of which have been laid
under ban by the third report of the commissioners,
are very slow in expurptaon, though the proof of •
negative may be admitted to be difficult. Some.
however, have called for inquiry. The Painslows
committee, presided over by Mr. Giudavus Lambert,
a gentleman of peat respectability, " indignantly
repel such sweeping charges, and call on the com-
missioners, in common justice (should there be say
foundation for their assertion), to specify the mimes
of each smainitteee es they think their strictures may
aPPIY to."

BRISTOL, MAY 11.—At the Bristol market to day the
supply of English Wheat was very scanty, and considerable
excitement prevailed ; the supple- of forage Wheat was also
very bare, and the prices realised were fully 10s. to 13. per
usrter higher than at last Thursday's market. All other
descriptions of grain were also higher than at last market day.

HULL, HAT 11.—The trade has been in a most excited
state during the whole of the past week ; every day bringing
adv Mes of a further rise In the value of grain in the principal
markets of the interior. As regard. this port, the oldest
person in business never knew the trade in so anomalous a
position. The granaries are almost literally swept of every-

LEITH HARBOUR AND DOCKS BILL.

Lord CAMPBELL, in moving the third reading of this
bill, entered into a detail of the proceedings which had been
taken for improving the harbour and docks.
Lord REDESDALE suggested that the hill, which bad
been hurried with so much haste through the House of
Commons, should be recommitted, as many of its clauses
rewired revision. The bill could not but be designated as
a job, and unless the noble end learned lord (Lord Camp-
bell) would consent to its recommittal, he must now move
that the bill he read a third time tha. day three months.
Lord BROUGHAM designated the measure as a stupid,
ridiculous, tiresome, and jobbing bill, and hence he should
support its rejection by voting in favour of the am4adment.
After a short conversation, in which the Dukelef Rich-
mond, Earl Grey, Earl St. Germans, and Lord Campbell,
took part, a division took place.

report showed the sums that were due at the execution of
the deeds on which the debt arose, but the circumstances
connected with the trammed -la cannot now be brought under
discussion. If the parties (the plaintiffs) have been hardly
dean with, t►ey hays mistaken the course proper for them
to take, in order to enable the court to deal with the
case which possibly might have been made. The ordinary
rules between mortgagors and mortgagees must prendil, end
it would bo mischievous to vary or weaken them ; they
might be varied by circumstances in some cases, but there
was not before the court anything to justify a departure
from them in this case. The decree on further directions
ought only to carry into effect the ordinary rules of the court
by directing payment of whet was due to the defendant and
the costa, and that he should re-assign the mortgaged estate.
The decree was then varied on the points before men-
tioned, vie, the costs of the suit, and the direction to assign
the debt.

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ROME.

Mr. HORSHAN said, he wished to put a question
to the noble lord on a subject of great importance,
both ns regarded the general policy of Europe and the
particular interest of this courtry. There were friendly
diplomatic relations existing between this country and
the Italian states, with the exception of Rome. (Hear.)
Doubts had been expressed whether, if a dispcnition had
been evinced on the part of this country to establish a
friendly diplomatic intercourse with Rome, it would be reci-
procated on the other side. But the recently elected pope
having adopted the maxim that the international relations
of states should be regulated by political, and not by religious,
considerations; and, seeing that he had recently given •
hospitable reception to the ambassador of the Porte without
feeliug shocked or polluted by the presence of a Mahomme-
dan at his cobrt, there was no reason to think otherwise than
that be would feel honoured at receiving a representative of
the Queen of England. He would, therefore, ask the noble
lord whether his administration had taken any steps to place
our relations with Rome on a more friendly footing ?
- - ' ' • -

Lord J. RUSSELL—I tan confirm so much of the hon.
gentlemtn's statement so relates to the liberal policy pursued
by the present Pope—(hear, hear) ;—and that I believe it
would be his wish to see more formal diplomatic relations
established between this country and the state of Rome.
see with pleasure the course which the present pope is pur-
suing—(cheers),—and I believe it will tend to the improve-
ment of Italy. (Haar, hear.) I have no hesitation in saying
*tat I think it would be desirable that those more formal re-
lations should be eatatahed. (Hear, hear.) But the ques-
tion is one which, in point of law, exceedingly intncato,
and in point of policy likely to excite diecuanon. (Hear,
hear.) As the law stands at present, it is doubt-
ful • there are certain words and expressions in the
sets of parliament to which it is difficult to affix
the right legal interpretation ; and, es the law stands,
I do not think it would be safe is advise her majesty to send
• minister entrusted with credentials to the court of Rome.
With regard to introducing a bill on the subject in order to
make the law clear, I do not think it would be advisable, at
the end of • session, with • great deal of other business
before us, to introduce a bill on so important a subject.
Therefore I cannot tell him that I mean to introduce such a
bill, but it is • subject cot which I hope some legislative pro-
vision will be made et a future qtr.', ea I think it desirable
that there should be more friendly diplomatic relations be
Iween this country Sad Rome. (Hear, hear.)

tains, there ere many reams why it would be better
enter
for the character of the eauritry. tthere hat should not appear
to have been sny atteerr.'s in this house to elicit an expression
of opitlion for which there was not the most dent and India-
r.potaevince. (Hour, hear.)
M I O'CONNELL said he must enter hie protest
spinet the attempt at a vindication, which had been made
that sight of the horrible manures of Oallicia, through the
blood-stained Metternich, and the bigotted tyrant of Austria
Mr. HUME said the debate had furnished a complete vin-
dicstion of the deaunciations he had given of the conduct of
the three powers ; and he considered that the triumph had
been complete. He could not conceive the motives of the
noble lord, the member for Lynn, and one or two hon. mem-
bers near him, for the course they had taken on thM queer
non, notes it was that they intended to visit Vienna,
end were preparing the way for a good reception
and undoubtedly all the pomp which the despots could
display would be put in requisition on the occasion.
Be beard with great delight the speech of the right
which hon.
baronet the member for Tamworth, every word of
would redound to his credit, notwithstanding what had
fallen from the hon. member for Shrewsbury, u long as the
Eulish language existed, while he left the latter Lon. gen-
tleman to toe benefit which history would bestow on him.
(taught, r.) There did appear, such difference of opinion
with regard to his last resolution, that though he had •
rat disposition to maintain his own opinion, he was not in
a situation to set aside the opinions of others. When the hon.
member for Bath addressed the house he made out the
pie wilier he wished to make out in a most complete
and triumphant manner. If it were thought proper
to continue the payment of the Russo-Dutch loans,
let the government bring in • ',wale act con-
taining the trounde on which they continued to pay it.
They were hitherto paid according to the agreement of
1e32, in which the Emperor of Russia agreed to maintain the
general arrangements of Vienna. Theon. gentleman the
member for Shreviabury said Chat be was about to show the
white feather. He was not so weak as not to know that
great interests rested on this ann ne did not wish to
show that stem was a great ausjoritv against him on the last
IMPlntion, se in other countries it could not be well underatood
under what circumstances that majority could be obtained.
He would tell the hon. gentleman, that in such a cue as
this, discretion was the best part of valour, and he would
therefore nut press the resolutions, but take the advice of hie
friends, and not of those opposed to him, and withdraw
them. (Cheer) Considering that he had a complete to.
tarnish in debate, barring always the mischieemakers—
(laughter) —he would not press the house to • division on
the resolutions. (Cheers.)
The house then adjourned eta quarter put one o'clock.
