local expenditure which would otherwise be re, luired is
surveys under the new sanitary reguations would lk saved
to local ratepayers. London, extraordinary as It =7
appear, is the only part of England imperfectly execttuede
being merely a street survey, showing no details whateves:s
which, in order to be rendered serviceable for the sanitary 4
commissioners, required to be altered at great expense.
This is, however, defrayed by the Commissioners of Sewers,
and not by the Exchequer.
In Ireland a similar unfortunate mistake arose, for the
whole survey was completed on a 6-inch scale ; but tho
committee of the House of Commons recommended a sur.
vey of Ireland by townlands. The earlier counties in the
north were so surveyed; but the government valuator of
Ireland found that the survey of townlands was insufficient
to enable him to carry on his valuation, and iu come-
quence it has to be revised to obtain a survey by fields, so
that before it is finished it will not have cost much under
a million sterling. The survey of Scotland is proceeding
but very slowly, owing to want of funds. With respect to
that country, an anecdote relative to Mr. Matheson, of the
Island of Lewis, is worth recording. Finding when he
purchased Lewis that the former proprietor had totally
neglected both the soil and the people, he advanced
1,2001. to government to induce them to make an im-
mediate survey of the island, and further subscribed
for ono hundred copies. This generous offer was
at once ricelted, and the consequence is that he
can improve the position of his tenants in a
manner which would have been otherwise impossible.
To give some idea of the labour bestowed on the engraving,
it may not be uninteresting to mention, that the cost of that
of the city of Dublin was M. per sheet, and the city of
Cork, when completed, 3,4001. The price of the map on the
• one-inch scale, containing 804 square miles, is 2s. per sheet.
Twenty years ago, the price was ono guinea, and, by
' reducing the price, it has been sold twenty-fold. But so
voluminous is the work, that the price of all Ireland is
4001., and Lancashire alone 24/. There is a general feeling
in the trade that the sale of ordnance maps is monopolized
• by a few agents, but this is not the fact. These recognized
I agents arc merely houses with which the Ordnance have
entered in a sort of treaty to make quarterly payments, but
• any retail shopkeeper can obtain them from the Ordnance-
, Mace for ready money, being allowed a deduction of twenty-
• five per cent.

Dealers during the week have not been much disposed
to operate it, ltussian on the spot; at the same time holders
are firm, and require 375. 61. to 375. Od. for tine yellow
candle. A decline, however, would be the result of forced
sales. For delivery few transactions have taken place, and
for last three months of the year there are sellers at als.:
offers for several parcels have been refused rather under
this rate. Home melted, sells more freely, hut at the mode-
. rate rates of 3.35. to 3Cis. nett cash. Other sorts of Tallow
arc not much in demand, but holders remain firm, and offer
• only moderate parcels for sale. Of all sorts of 'f allow stock
. is about 10,000 casks more than last season ; consumption is
, less, and rather higher rates prevail. An impression now
exists that supplies will not be so large as last year Irons
Sydney. Fat is not lower, but there is little doing, and
supply is good.

chanced to read the other day, showing the had state of
London after dark about one hundred years ago, we. came
across the tollGsvin; paragraph, cupiod (ruin the Acs tisA
I'ost and Canterbury News Letter :-9n Wednesday last,
Mr. Fowles, one of the band of musick at Covent-garden
Theatre, was attacked in Soho by two men, who demanded
his watch, &c. Upon his calling out one of them threatened
to shoot him; they then robbed him of SOMO silver and made
off." This was thought very bad :but the weekbefore last,
in the Sunday papers of June, 1801, wo read as follows:
" Daring Itohlwry : Oa Thursday last a gentleman waa
attacked by two ruffians in Bedford-square, about half-part
one is the morning. Ono threw a noose over his neck and.
half strangled him, whilst the other robbed him of his watch
and purse. They then beat him about the face and head
with a life-preserver, and left him bleeding on the pavement.
There were several carriages waiting in the square at the
time." It does not appear that we live in such an age of
progress as we imagine. If this goes on, we shall hear of
descents of banditti from the Highgate mountains upon
Camden and Kentish Towns; and of people being carried
away and detained as hostages upon flarnpsteftd-heath until
rescued by their friend. from the brigands, after a finger I

THIS DAT.

Two o'CLoeu.
The share market to-day has again been depressed
by numerous sales, and the prices of all the leading
stocks have receded, including more especially East-
ern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshires, Mid-
lands and South Easterns. London and North Westerns
have also been worse, but are now rather better.
A large share of these selling transactions is be-
lieved to be on Liverpool account, the regular course
of tho market having of late been much interfered
with by operations issuing from this quarter
and from the Scotch deposit banks. The es-
tablishment of the telegraph system has
enabled parties in the provinces to watch the Lon-
don market with almost as much ease as those in the
metropolis, and trations of speculators at a dis-
tance are now reed by parties interested with
much more attention than was formerly accorded to
them.

Kilkenny has again been disturbed by nicht d!s-
graceful outrages of a sectarian character, wising cut
of the publication of the names attached to local pt ti-
tions against papal aggression. On Monday eveniag
a disorderly mob, composed chiefly of young ix:lsolis,
proceeded through the town carrying the effigies
of some of the protestant inhabitants who signed tho
petition. Fires were lighted in various dirretio..s
for the purpose of burning the effigies, and tho wits-
dows of protestants were broken. Some houses were
considerably injured, and it is stated that in one in-
stance an attempt was made to set a house, on fire.
The ringleader of the mob has been arrested rc.el
committed to gaol, and a meeting of the ectipectablo
inhabitants, presided over by the Mayor, was 11..:(11

disgraceful proceedings, and taking some means to
prevent their recurrence.

NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND.

Yesterday, the annual general meeting of this
company was held at the c.tablishment in Old Broad-
street, City. J. C. lic DING, Esq.. took the chair.
Mr. KING, the secretary, mid the advertisement.
The following report was then read to the meeting :
" The directors have the honour to present to the pmpri•
etors their annual report. It &vs not on the fare of it
sbow the same favourable results as have attended the ope-
rations of the Bank in former years; but this may, in a
frrat measure, be explained front the new and alter.' form
in which tho various accounts are now furnished. The

Bank never stood in higher credit with the public, nor pos-
s:ssed within itself greater elements of pruperity. rhe
neeounts generally show a gradual improv,.aent in the con-
dition of Ireland ; the fair* are better attended; all kinds
of *tuck being higher prices; and it is hoped that front other
important changes taking place, combined with the intro-
duction of more capital, and greater skill :old enterprise be-
stowed on agriculture, result,' will arise greatly beneficial
to the country at large."

THE WEST INDIAN AND BRAZILIAN

Some important modilos of the West India
and Brazilian mail-packet schemes have been ordered by
the government. In future, wisest the 2nd of the month
falls one Sunday, the West India and Mealcan mails will
be made up in the General Post-ntliee on the morning of
the 3rd, instead of on the night of the Ist, as at present.
According to the present arrangements, the homeward
mails from Santa Martha are embarked on board the out-
ward mail boat to Chaves, and carried on to the latter
place, because the homeward steamer does not touch at the
former. In future these mails will be dropped at Cartha-
gena, and brought home by the neat homeward packet, to
that the steamer of the lith of the mouth will bring home
the Santa Martha mails dropped at Carthagena by the 2nd
of the mouth steamer, and thus they will arrive in England
a fortnight earlier than at present. Instead of the Bra-
zilian steamer leaving Rio de Janeiro on the 12th of the
month, she will nut iu future leave before the ljth, and she
will attire at Southampton on the 10th, instead of as at present
on the 12th. Iler stay at Rio therefore will be seven, instead of
four clays. lier stoppage at Madeira, Tcneriffe, and St.
Vincent will be curtailed, and at Pernambuco and Bahia it
will be lengthened. At the two latter places her stoppage
must be so regulated, both on the outward and homeward
voyages, at to ensure a stoppage in each ease of at least
12 hours during daylight, unless she can anchor before
8 a.m., when she may leave the same night. Although
there is to be no alteration in the arrival of the Brazilian
packet at Rio, the Buenas Ayres packet is not, in future, to
he despatched until the 14th, instead of the 10th. She is to
reach Buenos Ayres on the 20th, leave it on the 4th, end
arrive at Rio on the 11th. The speed of the packet ou this
station is to b. 10 miles an hour, instead of eight. The
Brazilian steamer will in future coal complete at ltio, and
leave that port in all cases the 36th day after her departure
from Southampton. The Buenos Ayres steamer must
always leave Buenos Ayres the 54th day after the depar-
ture of the mail from Southampton. The Royal West
India Mail Packet Company will be allowed to run a
small steamer between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres.
With reference to the alteration of the time fur the *leper.
tare of the West India and Mexican mails, when the 2nd
happens on a Sunday, the object of the alteration is to pre-
vent the packet from leaving Eng:and Olt a Sunday.
There will only be, therefore, iu future, one mail packet,
which will occasionally leave England on a Sunday, and
that is the Alexandrine packet, with the India mail of the
20th of the month. It is the intention of the government,
however, shortly to alter the time for making up the India
mail, when the 20th of the month fulls on a Sunday, from
the night of the 19th to the morning of the 21st, and thus
there will be an uniformity in the arrangements respecting
all the mail packets that leave England on heed days of
the month—for wheu a packet day happens on a Sunday,
Bo: packet will invariably leave the day after.

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1851.

Ai, sad it was suggested that I should procure a bill-
dump two months back. I could not obtain one, but on
oho "glowing evening Leo produced an old stamp ready
MI, accepted by a man named Coles, for 160/. This
eat on the 14th or 16th of November last. The bill
was at three months, and was dated the 12th of August, so
as to fall due on the 15th of November. I endorsed it
to Lee, and Lie passed it over to Shattock. A day or
two after I went to Shattock's office, and was served with
• writ. Attended, and, instructed by Lee, I entered ap-
pearance at the Exchequer-office two or three days after I
revived the writ. I had no notice of dishonour. I did not
plead that. I took no step, but allowed them to go on. I
have seen Coles ; but he owed me nothing, nor did I owe
him anything ; neither did I owe Lee anything. At the
time the writ was served Shattuck said it was a friendly
transaction. On Christmas-eve I was served with a writ by

There was a very short bupply of English Wheat at mar-
ket this morning, and Monday's quotations were readily
obtained. _ _ _

The receipts of foreign Wheat during the week exceed
11,000 qrs. ; holders, however, were firm in their demands,
and, in the limited amount of business transacted, former
prices were realised.
There was no alteration in the value of English Barley.
foreign being in good supply, was obtainable on rather
better terms than at the beginning of the week.
We have again to report rather large arrivals of foreign

unable to supply themselves cheaper than on Monday last.

0111.11 T EXHIBITION.
This was an action to recover V. 18s., balance of wages,
under circumstances of much importance to foreign exhi-
bitors and their attendants. From the evidence taken,
through the medium of interpreters, it appeared the de-
fendant, who is commissioner for the Kingdom of Wurtem-
barg. in the Zollverein department, engaged the plaintiff on
the 4th of May as attendant, at • salary of 7s. per day. It
turtle r appeared that • code of rules were made by the
foreign eommiteioners and exhibitors, binding the foreign
attendants to have Is. per day retained from their wages to
provide a fund to carry them back to their own country, if
they wishi.d it, at the termination of the Great Ezhibition,
sad another •shilling per day was to be stopped
as security for the goods entrusted to their care,
and to pay fines levied for neglect or miscon-
duct. Amongst the articles which the plaintiff had in charge
was a dagger of beautiful workmanship from Stutgard.
This dagger was stolen, and M. Steinbeis challenged the
plaintiff with having purloined it, and dismissed him, keep-
ins the stoppages from his salary as an indemnification for
the lode.
Mr. Columbine called upon the defendant to point out
the clause by which hie client bound himself to such con-
' ditions, even if he had stolen it.
The defendant's interpreter endeavoured to make it ap-
' pear there was such • clause, upon which,
Mr. Surkatis, who said he had been interpreter for the
last 10 years to the law courts, assured the judge the de-
fendant's interpreter hail given a wrong interpretation of
the document.
His Honour then desired defendant to show him the
, clause, which, after some delay, he could not find, upon
' which the learned judge ordered the amount sued tor to be

paid with costs.
Defendant asked if he had many accusations in court
against plaintiff's honesty'
His Honour was understood Wary he had not heard

LAW INTELLIGENCE

THIS DAY.

EQUITY COURT.
Bascaz VICI.CIANCU4OII limeur Bares.

FLETCHER V. LANCASHI RZ AND YI

COMPAN Y.-INJUNCTION.

Mr. Follett and Mr. Selwyn, on behalf of the plaintiff,
who was a devisee under the will of the late Mr. Fletcher,
of Clifton, in Lancashire, moved for an injunction to re-
strain the defendants from taking part of the devised land
fur the purposes of an extension of the Clifton brunch of
their railway. By the 19th section of the act
empowering the defendants to make the extension railway
in question, it was enacted that the company should, and
they were thereby required to construct and complete ready
for traffic, in all respects, the extension railway within two
years from the passing of the act. This period had expired
in the present month.
The Vice-Chancellor desired to hear on what grounds the
defendants claimed to take the land after the expiration of
the prescribed time.
Mr. Bacon and Mr. Osborne, for the defendants, read
affidavits relating to certain contracts entered into with the
compare, which, as they contended, precluded the plaintiff
from taking the objection as to time ; and they argued that
as the company might be able to complete their railway by
agreement, or under an extension of their powers, or other-
wise, the injunction ought not to be granted.
The Vice-Chancellor said that, according to the terms of
the act, the defendants had not now, under its provisions,
any right to take the plaintiff's land against his will. And
his Honour did not accede to the argument that
what bad taken place with the company had pre-
cluded the plaintiff from relying on this objection.
The question was then solely as to the balance of the incon-
venience arising from granting the injunction or refusing
it. Now the disadvantage which the company might be
under from the expiration of the time limited by the act
would not be affected by the injunction, except so far as it
might delay the construction of the railway. Therefore, if
the plaintiff would undertake, on behalf of himself and his
co-trustees, to place the company in the same position, as to
the jury process, as they were in at present, if the court
should so direct, and would undertake to prosecute the suit
with diligence, his honour thought the injunction ought
to be granted.
The plaintiff's counsel agreed to give the proposed
undertaking, and an injunction was granted, restraining
the defendants from taking the land mentioned in the bill,
and from proceeding with the inquiry before the jury.
