BROMLEY PETTY SESSIONS.

CAUTION TO BIENIBERS OF BENEFIT SOCIETIM—George
Scudder appeared to sustain a claim he alleged to have
against Isaac Hazel and John Wills, stewards of the Ami-
cable aad Provident Benefit Society, for withholding from
him payment of arrears of sick allowance at 10s. fid. per
week for ten week.,, during which he was confined and un-
able to work from an accident ; he had broken his leg. The
complainant swore to the circumstances, and attributed the
injury purely to accident.—Mr. Pelham, on the part of the
club, said he hoped the claim would not be entertained. The
complainant dder had purposely kept back from the

bend: the real facts of the csse. The complainant was, with
several other workmen, engaged to go from Foutscray to
Eversham. They arrived th ,re at ten o'clock on the 22nd
June last. Complainant went into the Chequers public.
li:use, drank hard, and fought with one Reeves. They
closed, fell, and the small bones of the complainant's leg were
fractured. Ile was taken home. There he remained, and
did not apply to the surgeon appointed by the society, nor
the stewards, to be cured or attended upon. This was con-
trary to the rules of the society, as indeed were all the pro-
ceedings of the complainant —Edmund Foreman and George
A-litter fully proved all this statement, and alter many ques-
tions by the bench, the room was cleared, and on readmis-
sion of the witnesses, the chairman having called on loVelith
and King. two members, to ascertain if the resistance to the
claim by the stewards had the sanction of the body at large,
as l that Mr. Pritchard, the society's surgeon, had not been
called in to attend him, they said that they must dismiss the
.I.ase, and that the stewards were fully justified in resisting
the claim.

MONEY MARKET.

TUESDAY EVENINO.

Rather more business was done in consols to-day,
with a slight improvement in prices, which would seem to
bear oat the opinion prevalent on the Stork Exehange, and
adverted to under this head yesterday, that the bears had
oversold, and were endeavouring to retrieve themselves by
getting ante stock sufficiently to cover their accounts. In
the a. nerd tendency of circulating values to decline, it may
be fairly inferred that the funds would nit form the present
exception but for accidental circumstances of the kind noted.
If the market opinion really were in favour of a rise in
prices in consuls, it may be taken for granted almost that
foreign stock and share values would not remain in their
actual state of depression. Console, after being buyers and
sellers by turns at from 951 to left oil 9.51 to 1, for both
money and account. Exchequer bills improved to 15$. to 18s.
premium ; India bonds, 22e. to 28e. premium ; India stock,
2.58 to 60.
In foreign stocks it has been absolutely a blank day, and
the quotations must be taken to represent values nominally
only. Mexican were called 24; to 51. Buenos Ayres
receded from the higher rates called yesterday to 44 to 6.
Peninsular stocks were slightly better. Spanish Fives, 261
to 1; the Threes, 371 to 1; Deferred, 17 to 1 ; Passive, 54
to I ; Portuguese, 411 to 21; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 59 to 4 ; the Fours, 921 to 3 ex-dlvidend.
The manifesto of General Flores, late President of the
Ecuador, which appears almost in esters° in a morning
paper, and a very verbose production it is, is held in the city
to bear out completely the extraordinary disclosure,
which took the public so much by surprise in tha
leading article of the Expect; of Saturday last. The
sty le of the maniestto, leaving the matter NW the political
argument alone, is sufficiently coarse and pooonal towards
Senor Roca, the present president of the govelpment of the
Ecuador. It is but a sorry sort of political warfare to
reproach him for being a shopkeeper, or glen an insolvent
shopkeeper, as so grossly asserted. General Flores exposes
himself to an unpleasant &gunner of another kind in such
a mode of polemics. For, if report speak true, he is himself
a mulatto, or mestizo of some shade or other ; that is, not of
the pure Spanish, but of a mixed breed, negro and Spanish.
Although no prejeuNces exist in this country. against the
mixed and coloured rates of the American centment, such is
not the case in Spaniel& America. The colour is equal to a
sentence of degradation or distrust. It is an ignorant
prejudice, but not the less rooted. The mixture of
Indian and Spaniard is reckoned much more reputable.
The inquiry is, moreover, What was the position of General
Flores in Venezuela before he entered the patriot service
under Bolivar ? Let him answer that question. It is clear,
in any case, that Roca must be a eereon of considerable
talent, courage, and energy, or he could not have routed, at
the head of untrained bands of the people, the disciplined
veteran troops of Flores ; which, in despite of the silly bom-
bast of Flores, was the fact, or he would not have abdicated
his post in the panic, which he did. This manifesto is pro-
bably made public by Colonel Wright, the agent of Flares
here, and will doubtless lead to other expositions and ex-
planations about the extraordinary. scheme for revolu-
tionising all Southern Spanish America in favour of Queen
Christina.
