COURT OF REVIEW.

Ex TARTE MOItiISON,THETHEID;DON AND BIR-
MINGHAM EXTENSION RAILWAY. BAN RI:ETCY OF
RAILWAY COMPANY.-It will be remembered that this is a
petition to annul the fiat issued against the above-mentioned
company ; and that, when the petition came on to be heard
on June 30, it was ordered to stand over, in order that the
petition might be served on some of the directors. This had
now been done, and the petition was opened by Mr. Bacon
and Mr. Glum, who contended that the fiat was invalid,
on the ground that the company was not a commercial or
trading company, or a joint-stock company, existing at the
time of the passing of the act 7 & 8 Vict.. c. 111, so as to fall
within the provisions of that statute. They further con-
tended that, even if the company fell within the scope of the
statute, still the act of bankruptcy relied upon was insuffi-
cient, being a declaration of insolvency sanctioned by a meet-
ing of three directors only instead of five, the number
required by the company's subscription contract for the pur-
pee of passing any resolution ; the meeting itself having also
been held after the company had ceased to exist. Another
objection was to the sufficiency of the petitioning creditors'
debt. Mr. Russell appeared in support of the fiat, but be-
fore he had concluded his argument the further hearing of
tke ease was-adjourned to this day.

COURT OF BANKi.UPTCY.
Before Mr. Commiesioner Gotaburn.

IN lit SAMUEL C. Bovae.—ADJOURNMENT SINE Dir.—
This insolvent, described as of Dowgate-hill, accountant, ap-
plied for his final order. He was supported by Mr.
Buchanan (Basinghall-street), and opposed by Mr. Sturgeon,
for the assignees under • former bankruptcy, and under
which he did not obtain his certificate (as alleged), and also
by a Mr. Mason, a creditor, in person. It appeared that
Boyce had been a bankrupt in 1835, and also in 1842, when
the debts amounted to about 9001., upon which no dividend
had been paid, and the debts under the present insolvency
amounted to 1,0031., the assets being stated at 1431., as
available for the present (new) creditors. The principal
ground of opposition was, that le had appropriated money
to his own use, which was entrusted to him by Mr. Mason for
the purpose of taking up • certain bill of exchange. The
insolvent was examined by Mr. Buchanan, and admitted
that he had applied part of the money to pay out an execu•
tion, but having received a sum of 251., he sent the old bill,
one for 11L, and 71. in money, to Mr. Mason. His Honour,
under all the circumstances, adjourned the case sine die,
with leave to apply again at the expiration of six months.

We have received our Paris express, with letters
and papers of yesterday. M. Pellapra did not ap-
-1
pear before the Court of Peers on Monday, but an
extraordinary letter and some documents forwarded
by him to Madame Pellapra were produced, which have
formed another strange incident in this most strange
affair. M. Pellapra enjoins his wife not to produce
the documents, except in case of extreme necessity,
declaring that he has fled to avoid the cruel necessity
of becoming the accuser of M. Teste. Madame
Pellapra sent his letter, with the documents, to the
Chancellor on Sunday, and they were laid before the
court on Monday.

We learn from Madrid, July 7, that the competi-
tion for the Exchequer Bills, representing 100 mil-
lions of reals, which have been created by decree,
will come off in the Finance-office, on July 16. The
bidders will have to deposit beforehand six millions
of reals in 3 per cent. bonds, or two millions is
effective money. The highest offer will be taken,
without further test ; but the house of Smith and Co.,
having already entered into negotiations with the
Government, will, ca.teris paribsgs, have the preference.
In their proposal Messrs. Smith and Co. offer to
take the bills at 97; per cent. The payments
will be made in bills at three months date,
upon London and other foreign places, or in cash at
Madrid, at the choice of the contractor. The security
for the loan will consist of 140 millions of reals, in
bonds of the purchasers of national property, which
will be deposited in the Bank of San Fernando. The
loan will be delivered in five monthly instalments.
The commission of the contractor to be 2; per cent.
The amount paid into the Treasury will be, therefore,
95 millions ofie.t. This props al bas been accepted
by the Government, with the reservation of the right
to accept better terms, if offered by the 1 tith of J uly.

CHARLESTON, JUNE 12.—Cotton : There is no such thing
as effecting sales, unless at great sacrifices, and factors during
the pest fortnight have been shipping, chiefly coastwise, to
relieve their necessities. The receipts since our last reach

400 bales, at prices rasping from 9c. to 111 c. per lb.—Rice

IRELAND.

ntramt, KAT 19.
The body of the viceroy lies in state in the
Castle chapel, to which place it was conveyed this
morning. No person whatever is permitted to enter,
• guard of honour having been placed to prevent all
intrusion. The funeral will take place on Friday after-
' noon, at two o'clock precisely. The corporation of
the city will attend in their robes.
There was &private meeting yesterday of a section
of the " reproductive committee," which is to be dis-
tinguished from tke Irish party. The object was to
combine, if possible, men of diverse opinions for a com-
mon national object. Such a consummation is most
devoutly to be desired, but in Ireland we have bad so
many trumpet sounds before battles which were never
fought that we think the Lou of the latest movement
will prove quite as barren of union or effect as all
former attempts. The men of progress
"among the
twin are is favour of a " national council ; but there
is no power and no opinion to constitute or confirm it
in this country.
A controversy has been for some days in action
between the relief commissioners and the committees
of the city, on the quantity and description of food
rations to be given to the poor. To bring the matter
to a satisfactory issue, the question was referred to
the Board of Health. In their reply, the commis-
sioners of the board confirm the sufficiency of the
rations originally adopted by the relief commisionere
—namely, 1 Ob. of bread, or Ilb. of meat cooked.
Tke food is strongly recommended by the commis-
sioners of health, both to guard against abuses, u well
as to prevent the spread of dysentery
.and diarrhea,
which are occasioned by the consumption of meal or
rice in a raw or ill-cooked condition.

MONTE VlDEO.—Advices have been received to
the 11th of March. Affairs remained without material
change. Oribe had issued, on the 23rd of February, a pro-
clamation prohibiting the entrance of cattle into Monte
Video. If what is published in the Canintereio del Plata as
a copy of this manifesto, be not a forgery, he has proclaimed
that every captain or other individual shipping cattle
from the snores of the republic for Monte Video, will be held
guilty of piracy and punishes' with death. The pretext fur
this extreme measure is, that the cattle being stolen it is re-
quired for the proteeti •n of property. The proclamation is
dated at Crrrito de la Victoria. On the let of Marsh an
official notification from President Soarer, and Don Jose de
Brja, his Minister of Finance, intimated to the inha-
bitants of Monte Video that Don Bruno Mae had re-
signed the office of treasurer, and that the libra-
rian, Don Francisco Aeons de Figueroa, had been
appointed to succeed him. A proclamation by the minister
of war (Munoz), of the 2nd March, commanded all soldiers
who had token refuge in the city, to report themselses to
Colonel Conde, in order that they might be re-organised. It
was reported at Monte Video, on the Bth of March, that
from 400 to SOO men bad marched upon Maldonado from
Oribe's camp at Cerrito. The latest notice, from Buenos
Ayres were to the 4th of March. The only novelty was the
intimation that exehanges'were rising.

pose of dressing the warps for weaving, besides an immense
quantity for the purpose of daubing cottons with flour paste
to defraud the public, whether he will bring in a bill to pro-
hibit the use of II sue for such purposes ?
Lord J. RUSSELL—It is not the intention of government
to introduce a bill for that purpose. (Cheers.)

thus; "the whole mute and produce, share and share alike,
of all such freehold.. leaseholds, &e. ; but to hsve no power
to tell or mortgage or encumber the same ; on: the contrary,
the rents, &c., to be paid to them one month after each
quarter day in each year. Oa the decease of any of them
children, should they die without issue, that share to fall to
the rest, and so en to the last female child ; and should they
marry and have children, then their shares to go to the said
child or children," ste. The testator lett his wife, five sons,
and seven daughters surviving him. One of the daughters
afterwards married Mr. Wordsworth, and died in the
lifetime of her mother (the testator's widow), leaving
two children, who, by their neat friend, filed
the bill, for the purposes before stated, against
the widow, their gra tdmother, and their uncles and
auats. Three of the uncles put in a demurrer to the bill fur
want of equity. and it wu allowed by the orders appealed
from, upon the ground that the bequest of the whole pro-
perty being made to the testator's widow for her life, no
pert of it vested in the daughter, who died while the widow
wu still living. The arguments of Mr. Hodgson and Mr.
Holt for the nppellants were to the effect, that the word
" surviving," used in respect to " karate children," was to
be referred to the event of the testator's own death, and not
his widow's death, and that that emstruction was aided by
the latter part of the will, as above extracted. Mr. Turner
and Mr. Bethell, with whom was Mr. Craig. for the respond-
ents, contended, in support of the orders of the courts below,
that the word " surviving," in the above peerage, referred
to the widow's death, and generally that it was a rule with
the best judges never to hold that this word in a will was
to be referred to the testator's own death. The will
spoke only from his death, and it was unnatural as well as
unreasonable to refer to such as event in the dispositions
made by it, unless where it was clearly expressed or neees-
eerily implied. Mr. Hodgson replied. The Lord Chancel-
lor said they would dispose of the ease next Thursday.

MAT 25.-The weather during the last ten days
has been everything that the agriculturist could possibly de-
sire, and our accounts from ad quarters are unanimous in
speaking most favourably of the growing crops of Corn ; the
eseitemeat which had previously prevailed has consequently
been daily sutriding, and arrivals having somewhat increased,
more indisposition has been manifested to go into stock on
the part of both millers and factors. The bulk of the arrival
of Wheat, has been from the north, and merely re-shipped to
the interior. The Mark.laue reports received this morning
have further flattened the trade, though by no means unan-
ticipated. At today's market there was has Wheat show-
ing than last week, and holders not being disposed to submit
to the terms of millers (almost the only buyers), say 10s. per
qr. under lust week's rotes, the business done was very
trifling, and at exceedingly irregular rates: we call the mar-
ket 4a. to is, per qr. lower, and very heavy. Foreign Wheat
quite neglected. MI descriptions of spring Corn offering
on lower terms, but without leading to business of moment.

ETON HONTSM.—WINDSCII, TIIEADAY r.
being the day on which toe triennial festival of Monism
would hare been celebrated at Eton and Salt Hill, had it
not been abolished by the provost and the authorities of
Eton, considerable excitement prevailed in the vicinity of the
college from an early hour this morning, in consequence
(fr:m rumours which had been in circulation for come time
past) of its being apprehended that some " demor.stration "
would be model"! the bnys, assisted by several old Etoniu.s
from Oxford and Cambridge, which might Icad to a breach
of the peace. Up to the hour, however, of sending off this
despatch, everything has passed off pretty quietly. With the
exception of about a thousand small squares of glass being
demolished in the vicinity of the Lower School, aid similar
breakages, bat to a much smaller extent, at the houses of
parties who were aupp:.sed to be in favour of the
determination which has been come to by the
provost, we have heard of no demonstration of a
riotous character on the part of the boys. As
soon as " Absence" had been called by the Rev. Dr.
Haertrey, the head master, shortly after 12 o'clock, the
boys, numbering between two and three hundri d, formed
in procession in the playing•fields, and marched across the
fields, preceded by a black flag, to the celebrated mount, at
Salt-lull. They were joined by a great many of tho old
Etonian' from the Universities of Ox'bril and Cambridge,
who arrived at Eton this morning. Each were on his left
arm a tried and rosette of black crepe, and many had white
hatbands and scarves. As they were seen wending their
way towards Salbhil!, they had all the appearance of
mourners (but merry ones) in a funeral procession. Upon
their arrival at the Mount the black flag was waved in
solemn silence, and afterwards placed on the summit, typical
of the lost glories of Montem. A match of cricket was played
during the day between the Oxonians and the present
Etonian', in the shooting fields attached to the college. A
splendid cold collation was provided in the evening for the
players, by Mr. Clarke, of the Christopher Inn. The waiters
who attended upon the guests were compelled to wear black
crape around their arms, " in keepine," as it was obsened,
" with the solemnity of the occasion." Such were the fears
entertained by some of the toilette authorities that a dis-
turbance might take place in the course of the day, that a
strong body of the metropolitan A division of police was
stationed at Slough in plain clothes.

to be serious. Mr. Giles, the occupier of Torii mill, hu for

additional guerdon ; but the opportunity for outwitting a
natur.l enemy was too good to be lost, sod the poachers
instead of ransacking "the woods and heathers • ild,"
quietly visited the grocers' shops, and bought up all the pul-
lets eggs in the market, which, when duly boiled in coffee.
were SO changed in colour that even a pheasant of ten years'
standing could not tell them from her own. The egg* were
then delivered, the money paid, and a certain number of
hens are now hard at work, like a gourmand at breakfast,
on boiled eggs and coffee.

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT.

HOLLOWAY V. PALMER.--COYERTIIIIE.—In this case,
which was to recover a quarter's rent for a house, 2a, Wilton-
crescent, Vauxhall-road, from the defendant, the plea of
coverture was raised, under somewhat singular circum-
stances.—Mr. Pike, plaintiff's solicitor, said the defendant,
who described herself as Mrs. Sarah Palmer, entered into
an agreement to take the premises in question for twelve
months. At that time she described herself as a widow, and
signed the deed as such, but now she said she was a married
woman. He (Mr. Pike) out of charity to her, called upon
her to withdraw that plea, for if she persisted in it, it would
cause a charge of forgery to be brought against her—The
judge (D. C. Moylan, Esq.)—No doubt about it, if she
signed the deed describing herself as a widow, when she was
I a married woman, having a husband alive. (To the
defendant) : Is that your only answer to the demand?
—The defendant, a showily dressed woman : " That is my
only objection. I have been married but separated from my
husband seven years. I did not wish my husband to know
wb, re I was, and signed the deed in my sister's name, my
name being Llarriett Andrews. The last time I heard of my
husband was about a month back, when he was living at
Birmingham. There is my certificate of marriage, and I
have a witness present to prove that he is alive.—The judge :
I think the signing of the deed in another name was con-
cealing the truth, and I would advise you not to rely upon
such a defence, for if I am compelled to go into the case the
plaintiff will have no difficulty in proving that the debt was
contracted with a fraudulent intent, and it will be incumbent
upon me under 101st section of the act to commit you at once
to prison for fraud. Indeed, I have no alternative as you
say you have no other answer to the demand.—After consi-
derable opposition on the part of the defendant (who wished
for an adjournment of the case), she nauseated to pay the
debt at the rate of 10s. per month.

some confidence, that none of the candidates for the
City of London would go the length of declaring war
spinet Spain for the non-payment of dividends alone,
although to that extent the correspondent would seem
to go. In this respect, liberal and tory
.candidates
may be found of accord in their opinions. But
assuredly Lord John Russell, as the prime minister,
and leading party consenting with the recent
bellicose speech of Lord Palmerston, and Baron
Rothschild as more deeply concerned than perhaps
any other capitalist, should be the favourite candi-
dates with "an unfortunate Spanish bondholder," as
they at least are more deeply compromised, politically
and interestedly, in enforcing and procuring justice
for the suffering class to which the unfortunate bond-
holder belongs.
Occasion will be taken to-morrow to offer some
suggestions about the extraordinary offer, said to
come from the Spanish government, for the adjust-
ment of the debt on the bases ;proposed. For the
present it is only necessary to say that doubts are ex-
pressed in quarters entitled to attention as to the fact
of such propositions having originated with, or been
made by, the Spanish government.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'Clock.—We have had a more quiet market
this morning in the funds, but with quotations not
quite so good as at the close of business yesterday.
Consols have scarcely varied from the rates at which
they were first called to-day, say tvl, to money,
and 841 to for the 14th, at which they still remain
rather heavy, and the transactions altogether un-
important. Exchequer Bills are a shade better than
yesterday, at 235. to 16a discount.
In foreign socks we have little change to report,
except in New Grenada Bonds, which are now quoted
at the improved rates of 171 to 181. Mexican are
lower, at 18; to 1. Peruvian, 29 to 32. Russian,
104 to 6. Spanish Fives, 171 to 181 ; the Threes,
271 to 81. Portuguese, 21 to 3. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., 32 to 3. The Fours, 82 to 4.
It is reported that the Bank has received a supply
of 60,0001. in gold this morning, and that 200,000/.
more is expected within a day or two, but whether
from Paris or St. Petersburg is not stated.
Letters from Hull are said to mention the failure of
a great house at Hamburg, for 300,0001., occasioned
by compromises with some of the firms which have
recently suspended payment here.
Accounts from Vienna, to the end of last month, re-
port a more easy and improved state of the money
market. The embarrassments lately experienced
there, which for a moment created a sort of panic on
the Exchange, had in effect resulted from the injudicious
interference of I he government with the course of Stock
Exchange speculations. Seeing that the public funds
were in decline, and railway shares daily falling in value,
influenced by the corresponding depreciation of all such
securities in London, Paris, and other great stock-
marts, the Austrian government had recourse to the
expedient, for restoring and propping prices, of assign-
ing a certain sum to the state credit bank, to be em-
ployed in the purchase of railway shares at a fixed
rate. So long as these purchases continued, affairs
went more smoothly ; but when ,the sum applied to
the operation became exhausted, and the purchases
were discontinued, the natural consequence followed
of a renewed depression of prices. The holders
and speculators in shares had fallen into the
delusion of supposing that the government had
undertaken a task without limit, and on the
strength of the error advances were freely made on
shares by parties who calculated on securely receiving
back the amounts loaned by sale at the fixed price to
the government, in case of default of the borrowers.
Great was the confusion when they came to be unde-
ceived, for a greater scarcity of money ensued as the
grounds of confidence disappeared. To repair
one error, the government conceived itself compelled
to commit another. New funds were supplied to the
credit bank for continuing its share operations, but
with an intimation that with such assistance would
cease soy farther official intromission with the coursed
'hare business. The great houses of Bina, Eskeles,

the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Calhoun, in reply to a taunt from
I Mr. Turney, that he was "an upfront for the presidency,"
said the imputation that he could be governid in his course
by any imputatio..s, was a groom libel upon him.
WItECIL or • Sr Han. noai.—A letter from Tammco says :
—" The steam-boat Cincinnati was lost on the night of the
22d ult., about 25 miles north of Tampico Bar. She had on
board two companies of regulars, and two nine-pounders,
destined for Soto la Marina, a little town some 40 or 50
miles to the northward. Two soldier. were drowned in th.dr
attempt to reach the shore, also two pieces of cannon lost ;
the remaining troops were brought again Li Tampico. The
captain of the Cincinnati reports having seen, during the
same gale which canted the loss of his boat, a small steamer
loaded • ith men ; she looked like the Fuhion. He thinks
she could not have lived through the gale, and as nothing
more has been seen or heard of her, fears are entertained of
her loss. The Cincinnati was sold on the spot, being high
and dry, for .50 dots., and was afterwards re sold at Tampico
fur 260 d..;,.

ACCIDINT AT WINDSOR. CASTLR. MILITARY DOS-
ctruNe,—An accident, which, it is expected, will termi-
nate fatally, ooeurred yesterday morning at Windsor Castle,
to a workman named Roam:non, employed by Mr. Bate,
carpenter to ber Majesty. It appear. that at 7 o'clock in
the morning a sentry who was on duty at the eastern terrace
of the Castle, overlooking the private gardens, heard the
groans of a person evidently in a state of great pain and dis-
tress; but fearing to leave his poet for the purpose of ascer-
taining the cause (the articles of war, had he done so, sub-
jecting him to a sevens 'punishment) he cried out lustily, for
assistance. It was not, however, until nearly two how*
had elapsed that any person came within hail of the soldier.
On search being made in the direction whence the groans
had proceeded, a man was discovered under the walls of
the Castle, apparently in the agonies of death. It wee found
that his skull was fractured, and that he had received 'other
serious injuries. It appears that the workmen engaged in
the Red drawing-room had to enter the apartment from the
outside, by means of • ladder, and thence along • plank
communicating with the window ; and it is supposed that
the man, from the slippery state of the (plank from the
frost, fell on to the terrace below.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 13.
In the House of Lords yesterday, the Earl
of RIPON presented a petition from the
Chairman of the Oxford and Birmingham Rail-
way Company, complaining of the eonduct of
the North Western Company, in having taken a
course, the object of which was, to frustrate the rep-
lotion of last session with reference to competing
lines to Birmingham. After a conversation, the fur-
ther discussion of the subject was postponed until
Tuesday next, on which day Lord LYNDHURST gavis
notice he should move that the petition be referred to
• select committee. Lord BROUGHAM, in preserduig
a petition from Bradford complaining of the in-
flux of Irish paupers, reiterated the asser-
tion that Irish landlords had paid them half-
a-crown a piece to come over to invade En-
gland, and his advice to the authorities of the towns
thus invaded had been, to give each pauper another
half-crown to enable him to return to the place from
whence he came. The Earl of DSTON did not believe

there was not a soul on board, and, as even the sailors' cloth-

in the hold, she did not appear to have sustained much da-
mage in other respects. The same ves,el, the Oscar, was
