country. The learned judge, however, who had imued the I
order discharged it, when the plaintiff appeared before
him; and immediately afterwards Messrs. Charrington corn-
menoed proceedings trader 1 Vie. c. 110, to make the plain-
tiffs bankrupt, by which statute it enacted, that if a cre-
ditor, to whom a trader owes 1001. or upwarde, shall make
an affidavit to that effect at the Court of Bankruptcy, and
serve it on the trader, and the latter shall not pay the amount
within 21 days from sued service, or make some satisfactory
arrangement with the creditor, he shall be deemed to have
committed an set of benkraptey. In this case such an affi-
davit was made sad duly served on the 30th September ; but
on the 10th October • friend of the plaintiff agreed with
the defendant to pay 60t and give satisfactory security
the remainder of the debt. This arrangement, however,
was subsequently frustrated by the attorneys for defendants
insisting on 231., the costs of the ca. ea., by which the
plaintiff was arrested, and the proceedings thereon, being
paid by him. This he objected to, as no haat
claim could be made on him for the amount, and the defen-
dants then made him a bankrupt. The verdict was given
for the defendants.—Mr.Serjeant Shee now moved for a rule
for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against
the evidence, and called to the recollection of the learned
Chief Justice, before whom the cause was tried, several en-
premions which were given in evidence as having been ut-
tered by the defendants and their attorneys, proving their
malicious intentions—Lord Denman read over the evidence
for the information of the court, who were unanimously of
opinion that the rule should be granted.—Rule accordingly.

BAIL COURT.
Nor Pares.—nesore Mr. Justice Coleridge.
THoursion e. THWYYSON.—Tbis was an action brought
to recover the sum of 301. from the defendant, as executrix of
the will of one John Thompson. The plaintiff and defen-
dust stood in the relationship of mother-in-law and step-son.
In the month of August, 1843, Mr. John Thompeon, the
testator, borrowed of his um, Wm. Thopson, the sum of
301., for whieh he gave a document of them nature of a pro-
misury note. John Thompson died a few months after-
wards, and William, not being able to obtain the payment
of the 301. from his father's widow, commenced the present
action. In support of the plaintiff's case several witnesses
were called, amongst others the maid servant and son of the
plaintiff, who swore that they saw old Mr. Thompson re-
ceive 301. from his son on the 11th of August, 1843, and
sign • promissory note. Two other witnesses were also
called, who stated, that although the signature wee dif-
ferent to the manner in which he usually signed, still they
believed it to be his handwriting. On behalf of the defence
great stress wu laid on the fact, that the action had not been
brought till 1848, for a debt incurred in 1843. It was also
contended that the signature was not that of John Thomparn,
the testator, and that he was a man in good circumstances,
not likely toborrow money of his son, who although he carried
on at that time a good business at Bethnal-green, as a fringe-
manufacturer, was never in a position to writ nearly lire
years before he sought to recover 301. To prove the defend-
ant's cue several witnesses were called, mostly members of
old Mr. Thompson's family,and also persons who had known
him for many yew; and some of them expressed their be-
lief that the signature was not that of Mr. John Thompson,
the fathir of the plaintiff, and one in particular swore posi-
tively that the signature was not that of the testator, and
that he never could have borrowed thy money, as he did not
want it ; hut that plaintiff, so far from lending money to his
father, wished to borrow of him. From the manner in which
this witness gave her evidence, and from other facts which
came out in the course of the cause, it appeared that this
a family quarrel arising from the plaintiff not having been
so liberally remembered in his fatwas produced her's will as the rest of the
e
family. The promissory note in court,
presented rather a singular appearance, having been very
much scorched by a fire which had taken place in the plain-
tiff's house some years ago.—Mr. Justice Coleridge havin
pla g
carefully sturtnitil up, the jury found a verdict for the
tiff fur the amount claimed.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
SMITH V. BEARLOTE.—LIENa liT INNXESPERS.—This
action was one of tracer for a carriage which had beendetained
by en innkeeper fora bill incurred by a person for the stand-
ing of the carriage and for refreshments for himself and the
accommodation of a friend, who was admitted to the inn on
his credit, but the plaintiff was not himself a resident at the
inn. There was a verdict for the plaintiff, and it was sought
to set it aside and enter a uonsuit on the ground that the re-
freshments supplied to the plaintiff and the accomodation to
his friend were sufficient to constitutehim • guest at the inn,
and that, therefore, the innkeeper had a lien on any of his
goods in his possesaion.—The Court t'.ok tithe to consider
whether they would grant • rule to show cause, and this
morning they intimated their opioioa that the facts dis-
closed showed that the carriage was not received by the de-
fendant in his character u an innkeeper, and that the refresh-
meats were supplied to the plaintiff and the accommodation
given to his friend on separate and di,tinct contracts, and
the plaintiff, therefore, was not a guest at the inn. There
was, therefore, no question of law, and the rule was refused.
RICHARDS v. BRIGHTON RAILWAY' COMPANT.—LIA-
bILITY Or RAILWAY COMPANIES row PAssENORHS. LUO-
owoz.—This was an action brought. by a Major Richards
against the London and Brighton Railway Company, to re-
cover 1601., the value of a dressing case containing jewellery
belonging to his wife. The cue was tried at Guildhall in
the last sittings, before the Lord Chief Justice, and • verdict
passed for the plaintiff. The facts were shortly these :—On
10th December, 1b46, Mee. Richards, a very infirm lady,
came from Bognor in • fly to the company's station at Wood-
gate ae.nopatiled by bee maid, and tier luggage was trine-
leered by the driver of the Hy to the company's servd
ants,
have and
the dressing-case in question was dnctly prove to
been placed in the carriage with her and her maid, and
placed under the seat. On their arrival at the London-
bridge station, • hackney.coacti attached to the station was
called, and the luggage placed in it. The maid was about
to take the dressing-case out of the carriage, but one of the
company's servants offered to take whatever was there to
the coach. On arriving at Mrs. Richards's house the
dreasing-case was missing, and had never been found. It
had not been seen by any ef the witnesses
after the train left Woodgate. There were three counts in
the declaration. The first stated that the defendants, as
common carriers for hire, contracted to convey the plaintiff's
wife with her luggage to the terminus at London-bridge,
and alleged that by their negligence the dressing-case was
loot. The second count contained an allegation of an ob-
ligation on the part of the defendants, as common carriers
for hire, to convey safely from all parts of their line to that
part of the station in London where the hackney-coaches
plied, and therefore to convey safely from their own carriages
when they arrived to the hackney-coach, and alleged the
loss of the dressing-case in that transit by. their negligence.
The third count contained similar allegations to the second,
hut did not allege the defendants to be common carriers for
hire, but merely voluntary bailees."—Mr. Sirjeant Tel-
fourd, pursuant to leave reserved, now moved to set aside
the verdict and to enter it for the defendants. The question
was, whether the counts in the declaration were established.
The breach in the first count was confined ko the loss during
the journey. There was no proof that the a reasing-case was
ever received by the de fendantent the Woodgate station, and it
was not tee n by their servants thereat all, and therefore was not
in the situation of luggage which had been committed to their
care. With regard to the second count, it there was no
tithepf
that the package was ever confided to the company
Woodgate station, it could not be a part of their duty to
convey safely from one part of the Loudon station to an-
other. Bat it was also •• question, whether any such duty
attached to the company at all ? With regard to the third
count, it could not be said that the servants of the company
could charge them as voluntary bailees, by taking on them-
selves the duty of conveying trom their carriages to the
-'.ney-coach.—The court granted a rule to show cause.

COURT OF BXCFIEQUER.
SWIM in Banco.
ROLT V. THE CHESTER AND UOLTHEAD RAILWAY
COMPANY,—CoMPENSATION Fun INJURIES SIATAIN ED HY
A RAILWAY I'ASSENOEn.—The Attorney-General moved,
yesterday, for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause
why there should not be a new trial in this case, or the
judgment arrested. It was an action brought for the re-
covery of compensation for e. stain injuries, alleged to have
been sustained by the plaintiff under the foUowing circum-
stances :—The declaration stated that the defendants having
been authorised by an act of parliament to erect the Chester
and liolylaead Railway, had coustrueted a certain bridge
over the river Dce, without sufficient skill or care, and with-
out regard to its strength, considering the purposes for which
it was to have been used. That the plaintiff having become
a passenger in the Chester and Shrewsbury Railway, to be
conveyed over the said bridge of the defendants, who had
leased it to the Chester and Shrewsbury Company, the
said bridge by reason of its insufficient strength and con-
struction fell in, and the plaintiff sustained the injuries in
respect of which the action was brought.—Mr. Justice
fiams before whom the c.use was tried at toe last assihetherzes
of dhester, left it to the jury to say
the bridge had been negligently or improperly constructed,
without explaining to them what amounted to negligence,
under the circumstances. It was then objected to his lord-
ship's summing up—that the defendants were not liable un-
less it appeared that they had been guilty of negligence in
the discharge of their duties as to the construction of the
bridge; and the jury found for the plaintiff with 2501.
damages. The learned Attorney-General stated that the de-
fendants had engaged the services of one of the most eminent
engineers of the day. That the bridge had been designed by
him upon a plan in great estimation, and constructed under
his superintendence.ln support of that branch of the
that motiothe
n
relating to the arrest of judgment, it was submitted
action should have been brought against the company with
whom the plaintiff bad contracted'
as whatever the defebe
n•
dents' liability CO that company mig be, they could not
held responsible for the safe conveyance of the plaintiff with
whom they had never entered into any contract.—The Lord
Chief B iron said the court wished to confer with Mr. Justice
tria to the precise obj,ctions tat ea before him at the
trial, bef as
ore they determined whether the rule ought to be
granted. _ _

ADMIRALTY COURT.
Before Dr. Lusbington.
THE bate pool and
thia case an action was
brought by the Liverpool and Dublin Steam Packet Com-
pany to recover the amount of damage inflicted upon the
steamer Queen Victoria, by reason of a collision with the
Isaac Allerton, OD the 10th of November last, a few miles
from the Skerries Light. The steamer sailed (tom Liver-
ol on the preceding night, having on board a large num-
ber both of deck and cabin passengers,. and, when nearing
the Skerries Light, her vitw of it was intercepted by an ob-
ject passing between them. A short time afterwards she
discovered a vessel running stern on to her, which turned
out to be the Isaac Allerton, bound from the United States to
S.W.laden with cotton. The wind at the time was
S.W. On first descrying the distant object, the man on the
loe,k-out directed the helm to be put a little to putt, and
desired the man at the helm to mind his port helm. The
ateamer, it appeared, canted three very brilliant lights; but

execution, loping ' he would keep out of trouble.' The pri-
soner, who, it appeared, bad only been discharged from
prison a day or two before the execution of bis brother,
attended the awful exhibition, and on seeing the murderer
on the gallows, he frequently exclaimed, ' Bravo,
knew you'd die game.' The mother of the prisoner wee
also, it waa said, present at the execution, with a female who
lived with the malefactor. end in the afternoon got drunk,
and boasted of the ' pluck and game ' exhibited by her bon.
A third member of the family, who is older than the pri-
soner, has been transported, and is at present in New Sonia

it was alleged, on the part of the Isaac Allerton, that she
perceived but one light, concluding it to come from • pilot
boat, and never discovered her mistake uatil she was souk**
that she saw the hull of the steamer, when, notwithstanding
her helm was put to port, she ran into the steamer amidships.
—Counsel having been heard, the learned fudge submitted
to the Trinity masters that the simple question was whether
or not the Isaac Allertoa was capable of distinguishing be-
tween the light from the steamer aneoce from • pilot boot—
and whether, the moment that she perceived the lighmasters
t, she
ought motto have ported her helm T—The Trinity
attributed the collision entirely to the Isaac Allerton.—The
court pronounced for the damage and amts.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before tar. Commissioner Vontibuseue.
giCILLESS TRADINO.—The certificate of Joseph Wi=
bottle merchant, of Unionatreet, Southwark, was sup
by Mr. Lowrance, and opposed by Mr. Sturgeon, on behalf
of Mr. Child, and by Mr. Sargood, behalf of
the assignees, on the ground of reckless trading and the
absence of proper accounts. The bankrupt, in his balance
set, whh extended over three yean and a half, took
credit f0rm1,6661. of capital in Apnl, 1844. He owed to
creditors, 9,0881.' Ciao, holding security, 2,0421.; profits,
2,9791. His good debts were estimated at 9031. ; pmperty
held by creditors, 1,6001.; losses, 2,1311.; salaries and wages,
2,7161; trade expenees, 6,9631.; personal dit:o 1,1201.
The bankrupt, in examination, said that he had had great
difficulties to encounter in establishing his business ; there
were 'several large louses to contend with, and he had spent
above 1,2001. in advertising. He bad borrowed money of
Messrs. Foot and Slack at 10 per cent., and 151.
per cent. on a small sum. His enter hod also lent
him money. Had given • bill in September te
Mr. Child, which was not paid ; and when an
I action was brought on it, he pleaded the general issue.
He was insolvent at the time. He attributed his failure to
' the depression of trade of last year. Had never properly
balanced his books since August, 1944. Mr. Lowrance, in
support of the bankrupt, contended that:he had pursued a
proper mane, in seeking to establish his business, by ad-
vertising largely ; there was no doubt that nothing produeed
such a return as advertising. It should be remembethe too,
that too,
that the charges for advertising were very high ; in
of the leading journal, eo valuable was their space, that
almoeth to tey
were obliged to impose charges which amounted
an escbssion.—The Commissioner said there was no impute
tioo of fraud in this came ; but the private cash account
were defective, they were in fact unvouched. While the
personal expenses were apparently moderate, the trade ex-
penditure greatly exceeded the profits, end the explanation
was not satisfactory. A man was not to be condemned for
attacking monopoly' but there were certain movements
which could only he justified by succem, and which ought
not to be undertaken with the capital of others. This
bankrupt had been guilty of reckless trading ; and, consider-
ing all the circumstances, the certificate must be suspended
until the 27th of December.

POLICE.
- YEUTEROAY.
MANSION-HOUSE.—Cnoacit RATES.—Mr. Burg,
a resident householder in Bucklersbury, was summoned be-
fore the Lord Mayor and Alderman Johnson for having re-
fused to pay the church rate, to the amount of 51. 25., to the
parochial officer of the united parishes of Walbrook and St.
Bennet Sherehog. The goods of the defendant had been
seised and sold last year fur a similar demand. Proof baying
been given of the application to the defendant, and his re-
fusal to comply with it, Mr. Burgon said his house was in
the pariah of St. Bennet Skerehog, in which there had been
no church for many years, and he could not conjecture why
the inhabitants should be called upon to pay under such cir-
cumstances. But he objected to pay the rate on higher
ground—on the ground of religious exception—inn much as
he could not consent to adopt the tenets of a church which I
recognised the principle of baptismal regeneration, a doc-
trine wholly founded in error. The Lord Mayor said
it would be competent for the defendant to ob-
ject to the payment of the rate upon the ground
that there was no church in the parish, and he might
appeal to the quarter sessions, or to the ecclesiastical
court accordingly ; but it was not in the power of the
magistrates, sitting as he and Alderman Johnson were
sitting, to take into consideration the conscientious scruples
of Mr. Burgon.—Mr. Bergen said be had not the least
fancy for au appeal to the ecclesiastical court, and he did
not at all like to see his property confiscated. Ile had the
same sort of objection to pay the rate which the Bishop of
Cashel had to vote for the grant of a sum of money for the
support of Maynooth College, because he considered tee
doctrines heretical.—The Lord Mayor said Mr. Burgon must
know very well that he and his brother magistrate were
obliged by act of parliament to compel the payment of
the rate.—Mr. Burgon said he was sorry to see civil magis-
trates in so degraded a position.—The Lied Mayor : With
your opinions upon the subject we have nothing to do. We
sit here to carry out the act of the legislature, and cannot
entertain the question you are anxious to discuss at all.
Has the validity of the rate ever been disputed in the
ecclesiastical court ?—Mr. Bergen : I have never tried it
there or any where else.—Alderman Johnson If the
magistrates at quarter sessions are appealed to, and they
consider there is no church for the parishioners to attend,
that may form a ground of objection sufficient to exempt ;
you. To which court would you wish to appeal; to
the ecclesiastical court or to the quarter sessions 1—
Mr. Burgos "To the quarter sessions by all means."—
The Lord Mayor: We shall take care to word the order
upon you in such a manner as to have the appeal heard at
sae quee Ler ...ie.,. Mr. Morgon Your lordship will
greatly oblige me, if you contrive that the property seized in
excess for the last rate be applied to the liquidation of this
demand.—The Lord Mayor: If the authorities have re-
ceived a larger sum for the property thee, seized, they must
refund to you or an action will Burgon: You
must be aware that I cannot condescend to receive money
which has been taken from me by force. I cannot live
upon plunder.—The clerk to the parochial authorities said
the money in excess, from the sale of the goods, had been
offered and refused at Mr. Burgon's house.—Mr. Burgos :
They seised a table which cost me 301. and a glass which si
cost me 91., for the sum of 51., and sold them to pay that 5(
amount and the expenses. I should think that the excess
ought to satisfy the churchwardens for this demand, and
your lordship may order them to accept that money.—Ald.
Johnson : No. Two separate questions are involved in that.
—Mr. Burgon : They may as well take a howitzer at once,
and knock my house about my ears.—Aid. Johnson : You
know the condition' upon which you took your house, one
of which was that you should pay this rate, and we have
no alternative. You can appeal to the quarter sessions.—
Mr. Burgon then left the magistrates, under the impression
that he would appeal to the quarter sessions.
WORSHIP-STREET. ALLEOSID SWINDLING.—WV.
Southronab was charged with having obtained, upon false
and fraudulent representations. a quantity of household fur-
niture, of the value of 361., from Mr. William Cutbill,
an
upholsterer, in Worship-square. Finsbury. The prosecutor
stated that on the 12th inst. the prisoner called at his ware-
house, and representing that he was coming into consider-
able property in the course of a month, with which he in-
tended to forthwith embark in business at a large
house at Notting-hill, which he bed recently taken,
and the landlord of which had commissioned him
to furnish it throughout in a substantial manner, said
he supposed the witness would have no objection
to execute part of the order upon short credit. Witness
assented upon condition that the references he gave were
satisfactory ; and the prisoner immediately handed him the
address of a corn-chandler, in one of the streets leading out
of the Haymarket, whom he represented to be upon
the Corn Exchange, and a man of undoubted substance.
On waiting subsequently. upon the latter person, whom
he found to be in the business mentioned, he gave such a
favourable account of the prisoner's connexions and pros-
pects, that he at once supplied him with four dozen of chairs,
sheets of draw, ra, easy . chair", four couches, and other arti-
cles of household furniture, which the prisoner himself se-
lected, and gave in part payment a bill In the joint names of
himself and referee for the amount. The prisoner afterwarcs
called and gave him a further order for a costly set of draw-
ing-room chairs, to match one of the seta he had before re-
ceived ; and, in consequence of what transpired upon that
occasion, he was induced to snake more particular inquiries
respecting his customer before he parted with the last lot of
goads, and was informed by the neighbours that the prisoner
had obtained property in a similar manner from at least a
dozen other tradesmen, which had been conveyed away blue
mediately after it had reached his premises. Having also
ascertained that the person to whom the prisoner had referred
him had only been for two months the tenant of two rooms:
where he bad been represented as carrying on a flourishing
business, he determined to recover poeseesion of his property,
but, on reaching. the howes•SNeeting-hill, he found the place
deserted, the prisoner having moved away the whole of the
geode at six o'cloek that morning, and he had witnesses to
prove that the other party. to the bill had actually assisted at
the operation. lie had since been the landord, a Mr. Shit-
cock, of St. Anne-road, Notting-hill, who not only disclaimed
having authorised his tenant to furnish the house, but com-
plained of his having absconded surreptitiously without pay-
ing a farthing of rent. Ho had been unable to obtain any
trace of his prop. rty, and he saw no more of the prisoner till
he learned that he had been accidentally met and secured by
another tradesman, after a violent reautance, in which his
coat was nearly torn off kis back.—Mr. Arnold expressed an
opinion, that nswever culpable the prisoner's conduct might
have been in a moral point of view, it scarcely amounted to
a ease of fraud within the meaning of the statute; and he
did not think there was sufficient evidence to justify his de-
tention, upon which several other tradesmen who had fur-
nished him with geode under similar circumstances pressed
forward to prefer complaints of a like nature, and the pri-
soner was ultimately bound over till Saturday next for re-
examination.
WESTMINSTER.—THE MritnEn IN WESIMINITYR.
—The prisoner in this case. IVm. Tuna:ins, was yesterday
committed for trial on the capital charge, the medical evi-
dence having been completed.
LAMBETH.—A FAMILY or C aIMINALS.—The brother
of William Sale, who was executed at the Old Bailey a
abort time since for the murder of Mr. Bellchambers, in
Westminster, was charged with stealing some tools from the
shop of Mr. Allen, a blacksmith, in Edward-street, York-
road, Lambeth.-21r. Allen deposed that he returned to his
shop at about 11 o'clock in the day, after being absent for
about two hours, and missed some tools which he had seen
safe when he left. They were the same as at present pro-
duced.—A boy named Bennett, who is in the employment of
the last witness, deposed to meeting the prisoner as he was
going out of his master's shop with the tools in his posses-
sion, and a third witness deposed to having seen the prisoner
offer the property for sale in the New-cut, when he gave
him into custody.—The prisoner, in reply to the charge,
said he had purchased the articles found on him for a
pint of beer at a public-house in the New cut. He
was fully committed for trial.—The reporter says in reference
to this cave " The prisoner appears to have been • this(
from it mere child, and his been frequently summarily COW
witted fur petty roblierita, and is the person to whom his

Hpipesunt,
the property of the Brentfordfha Compan y.. It. ,
clerk to the above gas company, having of late lost large
quaatitite of old iron piping from vacant spaces on the side
°like high road at Notting-hill and Brook-green, in conse•
quenee of information he bad received went to the iron
foundry of Messrs. Dewer and Co., Old street, St. Luke's,
and there found a portion of the piping produced, which
consists of piping of all sizes. In consequence of what
eant
Meters. Dewer told him he went with police serg
Blundell to the house of the prisoner in Petneost.lane.
Whitechapel, and asked him bow he became possessed of the
iron piping he had sold to Messrs. Dewer. The prisoner
said he bad bought it in the usual course of business,
of a man named Fontaine, living somewhere at
Holton. The prisoner was taken into custody.
—Mr. Sidney Brough, receiving clerk to Messrs. Dewer
and Co., engineers, Old•street, St. Luke's, said, on the 12th
inst. he bought 4'2 cwt. of iron piping of the prisoner. He
came first himself and sold the iron, and it was delivered the
lame day by a vas, the driver of which was sesompanied by
the prisoner's man, who received the money, 61. 6s. On the
113th inst. witness also bought 3,5 cwt. and two quarters from
the prisoner, for which 51. 6s. was paid.—lnspectr Morgan,
T division, said he raw a van standing at the heap of piping
opposite the Black Bull, Brook-Er-eon, and men putting the
pipes into it in the middle of the day, but be thought it was
by order of the gas company.—For the defence it was urged
that Hart had bought the piping of the men Fontaine,
who was not, however, forthcoming, end the accused was
remanded until Thursday week.

MONEY MARKET.
WEDNESDAY Ersstso.
The demand for stock on the part of the public,
say the recipients of dividends, and capitalists of all
grades with money unemployed, has been extremely
active to-day, in the latter part of it more especially.
In consequence Consols money stock bore a premium
as compared with the quotations for time ; as much
as 1 per cent. more was given for stock on immediate
transfer than was asked for stock transferable on the
account day, say about three weeks hence. This is
what is called a " backwardation." The credit price,
instead of being more, is less thas the price for money.
Until about two o'clock Consols remained without ma-
terial movement,fluctuating chiefly between 82 and 821,
but with an average difference of 1 in favour of stock
for money. Subsequently, continued purchases,
mostly of small parcels, but one of considerable mag-
nitude for 100,000 L, as said, began to take effect on
prices, which gradually advanced, until Consols
were actually done at 82l for money, and 82,1 for
account. A partial reaction occurred at the close of
business, and they left off 824 to 1 for money, and
824 to 1 for account. It may be remarked as a pe-
culiar feature of the transJetions in stock, and the
more decided inclination of the public in favour of
that mode of investment at the present time, that re-
mittances are coming over from Ireland, which are the
produce of withdrawals from the savings banks there,
with instructions to invest in Consols or any more
eligible of the stocks here. But that the fact has
come within our own personal cognisance, we should
scarcely have been disposed to attach credence to it.
It does not speak much for the astuteness in money
matters of the Irish depositors to have been at the
trouble of drawing out their money from the savings
banks in Ireland, and in gold too, as not safe there,
and then exchanging the gold against bank drafts on
England for the purpose of investing in—precisely the
same class of securities as those in which the capital
of their awn savings banks was placed.
Reduced Threes were 801 to 1. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 811 to 2. Long Annuities, 81
to 5-16. Exchequer Bills, 401. to 435. premium.
India Stock, 228 to 230.
Foreign Stocks, without dealings of particular
extent, were more firm, and towards the close of
business were done and quoted in several kinds at
improved rates. Brazilian were called 62 to 5.
Mexican, 141 to 151. Peruvian, 281 to 30i. Spanish
Fives, 101 to 111. The Threes, 201 to 1. Passive,
2;1: to 1. Portuguese, 15 to 16. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. 381 to 40k; the Fours, 56 to 8.
Russian, 80 to 5. A bargain was done in Danish,
for the first time of several days, which realised only
53, the prices made being 55 buyers to 00 sellers.
The advices from New 'York by the Caledonia re-
present money as becoming more easy, and credit
improving. Still the rates ranged from 10 to 15
per cent. upon fair domestic paper, but from appear-
ances it was anticipated that money might shortly be
obtained on treasury bills as low aa 5 per cent. At
