COVET OF REVIEW.
Ex PARTS Burris, 11.1 N1117.01f AND
Towns Basnu.—Tile was a petition by the assignees of
the Teases Bank, seeking to expunge the proof of a debt. '
The Newton and Totaes Banks were composed of the same
four partners down to June, 1834, when Mr. Baker, who
had been the sunning partner of the Newton Bank, re-
tired from the Tetnes Bank, and had one equal half-share in
the Newton Bank, the other three partners having equal
interests in the other half-share, and in the Totnes Bank.
It wee alleged on the one aide, that the partners at Newton
had agreed to take upon themselves the liabilities of the
Newton Bank to the Tomes Bank ; and, on the other aide,
that no such arrangement was made, but that all the part.
nere should bear the loss equally. Issues upon tide question
were accordingly directed to be tried at the Devon A
but, at the request of the parties, the Chief Judge consented
to hear the case without the assistance of a jury.—Kr.
Benton and Yr. Baker, two of the partners, were examined
=th at great length, and the Chief Judge, having
Mr. Yaks in reply, reserved his jadgnsint.

INrrlrcrrioxi

—Mr. Simeon Oppealsenss, of Greet Synagogue House, was
summoned by the citur•Awardens and overseen of the
pariah of St. Jaura's, Duke's-place, for two poor's rates, to
the amount of 201.85. 4d.—Mr. Blatchford, the votry clerk,
said that if the Lord Mayor entertained the opinion that the
whole of the buildings rated were used solely for religions
purposes, the exemption from the poor's rate and the church
rate would be willingly recognised. If, however, the whole
or a part of one of the buildings was appropriated to other
perposes, in fairness to the other paruhioners it bec
the duty of the aathorities to rate the inhabitan Ix
proportion. To establish the claim to exemption It
would be that the buildings should be
entinly to etelesiestital purposes.—Mr.
Lewis a member of the Great Synagogue, fit.
Jamas% Pub's pee, deposed, that the Great Synagogue
was a beltyWf, lad used only for religious worship.
There was meths" building attached to it; the ground floor
of which Was used for keeping the sacerdotal robes, and dis-
tributing alms to the poor. The Ant Boor was partly used
as a vestry, and in it once a month charity was dispensed to
the poor of the Jews, and Mr. Oppenham sometimes sat
there. The thirdio::: was used as a synagogue, with all
the paraphernalia pt there, in the manner of he Great
Synagogue, and d contain from 200 to 250 per-
sons. On the left hand aide of that synagogue were
two or the.. rums occupied by Mr. Barnett, who
kept the keys of tha Great Synagogue. The whole building
wee caned Mr Onsaffiynagogue, and there is a covered com-
menisellem between the two parts.—The Lord Mayor, after
=esiemeited Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, said, he
la the parts of the building which were used
it the diletelhalim of charity, as well as those used for the
el edfolno, were exempt from the rate.—Mr. At-

WESTIONSTER.—TAKING ran wRONO UM BRELLA.—
losses Payne was charged with stealing an umbrella, value
3a—Wm. Eno a constable of the A division, said he was
co duty yesterday morning in the C committee-room of the
House of Lords, when he saw the primmer take particular
nodes of an umbrella standing there. On his leaving the
room shortly afterwards witness followed him to the A com-
mittee-room and communicated his suspicions to another

oanetable. Witness remained about atih-our in the
when he saw the prisoner, who had again been in
room C, leave the A mom with as umbrella in his lad.
Witness then stopped him and Inquired whether he had *
own umbrella, open which he replied, " I don't know; I
may have made • mistake for I had an umbrella in that
room." On going into the room there was no umbrella
there, and prisoner, after looking round, said, Oh ! then
mine has gone."—A gentleman identified the umbrella as his
property. Prisoner, in reply to the charge, said, "I cowl.
dered my own umbrella was in the room, and took this env
by mistake."—Nr. Burrell committed the prisoner for trial.

are to be called up. Should any large sum be pre-
sently required, or even required during the present
year, some pressure upon the money market is not
unlikely to ensue, however favourably harvests may
prove, as all appearances promise will the case, for
it would be too much to take for granted that the ex-
traordinary monetary and commercial reverses and
arises of the first half of the present year can be so
readily brought to a balance, as that affairs
shall resume their usual equable current before
the year has passed away, or even before a new
year has been encroached on to some extent. To im-
pressions in this sense may be attributed the dull state
of business in the funds, and the unsteadiness or
weakness of prices. Consols wavered between varia-
tions equal to 1 per cent. from higher to lower. They
were first quoted 881 to a, and left off 881 to I for
money and the opening. Reduced Threes, 89 to I ;
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 90 to 1; Long An-
nuities, 9 1-16 to 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 10s. to 14s.
prem.; India Bonds, 7s. to 10s. prem.
Rather more dealings took place in foreign stocks,
but with scarcely any displacement in prices. Bra-
zilian, 83 to 5. Mexican, 19 to I. Spanish Fives
were 21 to ; the Three; were lower at 321 to 31.
Portuguese, 31 to 2. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 67 to ; the Fours, 891 to 90. Danish, 84
to 5. Venezuela, 39 to 40. Ecuador, 3to 1.
The returns of the Bank of England for the week
ending the 3rd inst., give, as compared with those of
the week preceding, the following results :

The reserve of notes in the banking deportment
was reduced to 5,158,2301., being less by 467,3001.
than by the previous return.
These accounts are indicative of the then fullness
of deposits and approach of dividend time, and
evince the disposition of the Bank to afford accommo-
dation. The next returns, for the week now ending,
and for the week to came, will no doubt exhibit some

considerable changes.
The extent of the drain of the precious metals from
this country, and from continental Europe, as the
consequence of the universal failure of crops last
year, and scarcity of food in this, has been the sub-
ject of casual estimation, but without leading to any
even approximatively creditable result. So far as the
United States, which has been the chief metallic im-
porting country, as having been the chief supplier of
bread stuffs, we have, at length, some returns, correct
so far as they go, of the amount of hard monies
received there from Europe in payments upon balance
for the provisions received. The following are the
official statements of the amount of gold and silver
imported direct from foreign porta into Boeton and
New York from the Ist of January to the 21st
of May :

Dols. 9,964,394 61,233 6,6:3,909
Of the gross sum imported into New York,
6,632,714 dollars were in gold, and 41,195 in silver.
The total at both ports, for the four months and twenty-
one days, was, of gold, 16,617,108 dollars ; of silver,
125,430; altogether 16,742,538 dollars, or in sterling,
in round numbers, about 3,350,0001. The exact pro-
portions of these imports of gold and silver from the
various countries of Europe, and of England, are not
stated ; but it may be safely assumed that four-fifths
were from this country. It mast be observed, more-
over, that these accounts are brought down only to
the 21st of May, and also that the•• do not include the
imports into New Orleans, Baltimore, and Phila-
delphia, which must have been considerable, although
less so, so far as the two latter, from this country than
New Orleans.

Advises from Berlin announce that the Bank of
Prussia has lowered its discounts one-half per cent.,
leaving them at 4 per cent.
