THE SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY COMPANY
AGAINST THU CALEDONIAN, LANCASTER AND CARLISLE,
AND Loxtiox AND NORTIL•WESTERN RAILWAY COM.
PANIES.—This long-threatened lawsuit has now fairly com-
menced. The SUMMON, sets out by referring to the contract
or agreement, dated the 3rd, Bth, 10th, and 20th days of
January, 1849, entered into between the London sad North
Western, the Lancaster and Carlisle, and the Caledonian
Companies on the one part, and the Scottish Central on the
other part ; and in the phraseology employed, " proceeding
on a narrative of certain provisions in certain acts of parlia-
ment therein recited ; and that the parties thereto, in virtue
of the powers conferred upon them by the sca therein
recited, and with reference to resolutions of the reopen-
tire companies, had agreed to cuter into the con-
tract, it was mutually contracted and agreed," 01c.
The whole of the twelve clauses of this contract
are then recited at length. It is next stated that byanother
contract the entire stock of engines, endue, carriages, em,
was tracsferred to the leasing companies, and that the line
was worked by those companies under the direction and
control of a committee appointed by the same three com-
panies. It is also stated that this agreement was so far im-
plemented by the payment of certain sums, but that the
Caledonian Company have not paid their proportion of the
charge due at 31st J n1y,1849 —8,6961. 10s.11d. The summons
then narrates the correspondence of the central board and
their officers with the three companies in reference to their
obligations under the working agreement, and the
various steps adopted to impress upon the latter the
consequence of their alleged breach of contract. It is
stated that, in reply to these comnannicativnt, answers
have been received from all the companies, " each of
them repudiating and denying liability under the
contract, and reusing to implement the same," &c.
The punuen then enter into a general statement of the
esteem from which their claims arise, and conclude for the
following sums. From the Caledonian Company the sum
of 8,6961. Ile. Id., under the working contract, as propor-
tion of through traffic from 31st July, 1849, to 31st January,
1850; also a further sum of 6,2741. 11 I. Id., from 31st
January to 31st November, 1860. From the London and
North Western, on acoonnt of through traffic receipts,
2,6401. 161. 9d. From the ',meaner and Carlisle ditto,
4,2271. 9s. 24. And from the whole of the defender', eon-
jointly and severally, the sum of 350,0001, or such other
sum as may be found due, as damages arising from non-
payment of solarise, and other expenses of working ; and
also the elm of 5.50,000/., in the name of loss and damage for
breach of contract. Ina defences, we may add, are now in
course of preparation, under the advice of eminent English
and Scottish counsel, and will require to be lodged durum
the Latter part of this month.—Scoltith Railway Gazette.
THE BURGLARY AT FURNEAUX PELHAM.—Ther
three men, Thomas Savill, B. Hutehin, and Thomas War-
man. who we last week stated were in custody for the bur-
glaries in the houses of John Law, at Furnesux Pelham,
and of Michael Metcalfe, at Albury, were on Wednesday
and Thursday examined at Bishop Stonford, and fully
committed for trial.

Sr. PETERSECRO, DEC. 23.—Flax : No 'miners, for want
of @ellen : a minor dealer, in want of money, prefers borrow-
ing to Riling 9.ltead under 110 roubles. Hemp : About 300
tons taken at 81 and 82 for clean, anonlicg to quality ; 76
for mining; and 72 for good half-slew, all cash. The
quantity now sontraeted for is over 4,000 tons, and the
millers firm. Hides: 60 co., 25 per eent. down, demanded;
57 to 58 (flared for link town and Ukraine kips on contract.
Linseed : 2,000 chem. Nonhanak on the spot, reported at
301 clash; Rjef on mistreat, 24 ro., 10 down. Tallow:
Reports of the supply continue contradictory; some smart-
ing that from the Uinta' • there will be only two-thirds,
while Wren my time will be fully as mash as lag year's
supply. Next month more certain Minutes may be
expected. Sian the last Lout= advises the market has
been dull : Nolen of Ukraine are appearing at 110 and 109
rouble. Imports much neglected, partly owing to the
want of roads, caused by the extraordinary mild weather.
