that Nelson had not the shadow of any authority to
set it aside. These two propositions rest oil no hearsay

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Last night, M. Frederic
Unman* and Mdlle. Clarion made their first appearance
this season in " Don Cesar de Bar tn." Of this anal-known
piece, which has been performed in en English dress in
almost every theatre in the kingdom, there is nothing new
to be said ; nor was there any novelty to the hakiluis of the
St. James's Theatre in Lemahre's representation of tbe hero
of the piece. On this occasion it was ss admirable and effec-
tive as ever. The manner in which he mingled, without in-
congruity, the drunken roué, the riskiest spendthrift, the
careless pocoeuratile, and the highminded Spanish cavalier,
was the consummation of dramatic art, and gave the cha-
racter an air of reality which our actors entirely failed in
imparting. Millie Clarions gave much effect to the im-
passioned scenes in th^ latter part of the drama, but was leas
successful in the lighter scenes at the outset. Her vocal
powers are sufiicient for the vaudeville airs which she
generally has to sing, but not for the elaborate
music introduced into this p .rt. Indeed, the whole
of the music might well be dispensed with. It is of very in-
different quality, was indifferently performed by a company
who bare no musical pretensions, and merely interrupted
ilia *tire, and spun out the piece to a wearisome length.
The consequence was, that though Lemaitro and Mdlle.
Clicks were occasion illy loudly applauded, yet many
seeress moved coldly and heavily ; and when the play ended,
at *early midnight, half the audience had hurried out of
the hew before the curtain dropped. Were " Don Cesar de
Hagen" compressed into three acts, as uses done on the
lieglishstmee, it would be a delightful entertainment.
OLYMPIC TIICATR.E.—A new drama, in two acts,
was produced here last night, under the title of "Gaston
Delany or, a Night in La taudiere." Mita translation
from a popular French piece that we saw last par at the St.
Janet's Theatre, but of which we forget the title. The plot
turns upoo• wager which the Due de Chartres makes, that he
will obtain an assignation with the first woman be meets, will
see and conquer within twenty-f ter hours. The first lady en-
scanvered is Casaikks Berilusult, the betrothed of the Cheva-
lier Binerry. The Duke seeks to gain the assistance of a
berme mistress of his, 3ladame de Coat, who resenting, not
his infidelity, but his iapertinence, foils him, by posting
Caesildes off to Pavia, and occupying her apartment mean-
while, having previously, in her name, made the assignation
desired by the Duke. For a brief space the deluded
Duke is all radiant at his supposed triumph, the lover,
all forlorn at his rni-tress's supposed dishonour, aril the
young lady herself mystified and indignant at his reproach's.
A sort of Japanese duel is fought between the Duke and the
Chevalier, who, prohibited from single combat by court au-
thority, throw the dice to decide which shall shoot himself.
The Chevalier, losing, is just about to pay this debt of
hoaour when matters are cleared up ; the lover is repentant,
the lady forgiving, and the Duke congratulatory. Mr.
Binge's representation of the gay gallant, and most im-
pudent Philippe d'Orleous wan, perhaps, somewhat mild,
aid there was a certain dreadfulness about the virtue of the
Chevalier Duborry os he appeared in the person of Mr.
.'Maynard ; hut on the whole the piece was not ill acted.
We should be obliged by Miss Charles. dive.ting herself of
an affectation of delivery which greatly interferes with the
effect of her clever act'ng. The piece was successful.
There is .'grand quadrille danced in it, which, if continued to
be danced u we saw it. we should advise people who are
susceptible of the ludicrous to go and see. It so one of the
funniest things by which our critical eyes were ever alleviated.

EQUITY COURTS —YERTERDAY.
Before the Lord CluthaDor.
• This was the first day of Hilary Term. The Lord Chan-
cellor eat at ten o'clock, and proceeded to hear appeal
motions.

...sTXRMAN V. LEWTN—INTERPLZA DOR—ORDER TO
71 mans BILL.—The defendants, Lewin and Price, had con-
flicting claims to deeds in the possession of the plaintiff, and '
Lewin brought an action against him to recover possession of
them. The plaintiff then filed a bill in nature of an inter-
" bull against Lewia and Prior, and obtained an in-
.on to stay the former 's action. Lewin afterwards
tied to Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce to dissolve the in-
jnimtion, and dismiss the bill for want of prosecution. The
Vice-Chancellor referred it to the Master to inquire whether
plaintiff had any just claim to the deeds. The Master re-
ported that he had not. The Vice-Chancellor thereupon die-
missed with costs. Price had not appeared at all to the bill.
Mr. Cooper now moved to discharge that order, contend-
ing that no each order could be properly made in an inter-
pleader suit on the merits in the absence of one of the de-
fendants, except in proof of collusion. He referred to nume-
rous eases on the point.—Mr. Russell and Mr. Montage
were in support of the order.
The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that the order was
imp's,. This court was bound in all cases, not merely to
consider the interest of the parties, but also to adhere to the
practice of the court as far as possible ; any departure from
the practice was objectionable even with the moat promising
prospects, and in that ease it was oppressive, and in a manner
irremediable, it being now almost impossible for the parties
to extricate themselves. The litigation between the parties
eould not go on without great expense of money and time,
and they were now, after discharge of this order, almost in
the same position in which they were three years ago.
The best thing they could now do was to come to a com-
promise.

WROPONTON e, BARCLAIL—PHODUCTION or DOCU-
xiarrs.—Mr. Cooke moved for the production of certain
deeds, papers, and documents, admitted by the defendants,
who represented a public company, to be in their power,
though not (n their acted possession. It appeared from the
defendants' answer that the deeds and documents in ques-
tion were in the custody of their solicitors, Mears. Bosh
and Mae= (Mr. Bush being a director an 4 a defendant is
the suit), end that Messrs. Bush and Mullen) claimed a lien
upins them for costs due to them from the defendants. The
keened counsel submitted that upon this statement, con-
tained in the defendants' answer they were bound to pay
them cons, in order to facilitate the production of the dee&
and documents. Mr. Prior appeared for the defendants.
His Honour said that no case had been made for compel-
ling the defendants to pay these costa ; and therefore he did
not conaider himself at liberty to order the defendants to pay
them for the mere purposes of this motion.
BKLIAINO3II •. BLAOTIATIC,— RIOHT OF RINEWAL OF
;JAIL—PAWNS, tx lizaarxo.—John Blagrare, of Cal-

cot, in the county of Becks, by his will, dated in 1787, gave
and devised to his son, John Blagrave, and Sir John Simeon
their heirs, executors, and administrators, according to
the nature of the tenure thereof, all his freeko'd and lease-
hold messuages and tenements, situate in the parishes of St.
Lawrence, St. Mary, and St. Wes, in Reading, " as well all
such parts thereof as are my own separate estate, the chief of I
which are let on long leases for long terms of years, deter-
minable on lives, and renewable on the death of every life on
payment of fines certain, and the remainder whereof is at rack-
rent; as also." &c. (here the testator named certain other pro-
perty ] to boll to the said trustee-, their heirs. executors, and
administrators, upon certain trusts for the benefit of his son
John Blagrave, and his other sons and their issue. And the
testator gave power to his said trustees " to accept and take
surrender* of all the present and future leases of such uses-
snaps and tenements as relate to my separate estate, and are
now on lease, and to grant fresh leases for long terms, deter-
minable on the decease of three lives, at and under the like
annual reserved rent or rents, herioni, fines, fees for renewal.
covenants, conditions, and agreements, as shall be contained
in the leases at the time they shall be surren-
dered," &c. By an indenture of lease, dated the
Ist of October, 1802, and made between the trustees of
the first part, Lucy Deane of the second part, and Thomas
Cowslade oldie third pr.rt, reciting the will of the testator,
and that Lucy Deane, who had held a portion of the lease-
hold premises under a lease dated in 1800, bad, for certain
valuable considerations, surrendered that lease in fawBlu of
Thomas Cowslade, it was witnessed that the trustees granted
and demised the premises in question to Thomas Cowslade,
his executors, &c., to hold, &c., for fours:ore and nineteen
years, if three persons therein named, one of them being
Cowslade himself, should so long live. And this indenture
contained a covenant on the part of the trustees to renew the
lease for three lives, on the death of any oneof the nominees,
by inserting a new life in the room of the nominee
so dying, provided the application for such renewal were
made within a year after the death. The plaintiffs being
assignees of this lease applied, upon the death of Cowslafe,
for a renewal of the lease, pursuant tothe covenant contained
in the indenture of 1802 ; and, upon the trustees declining to
renew, on the ground that they had not power to do so under
the will, the plaintiff filed the present bill to compel the
trustees to perform that covenant. —Mr. Randall and Mr.
Russell argued the ease at great length for the plaintiff.—
MeWigram, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Craig, and Mr. Bury appeared
for the defendants.
His Honour: It is not necessary to refer to the
cases of " Mortlock v. Buller." or, " Ord v. Noel,"
for the purpose of being satisfied that this court
does not generally interfere to execute or assist a
breach of trust; and, in the present case, if the covenant
for renewal in question is a breach of trust, this court can-
not, I appreher.d, interfere for the purpose of assisting its
performance. Now I think that it is plain that this was a
breach of trust, unless by means of some covenant or en-
gagement into which the testator had entered in his lifetime
the trustees were bound to give the covenant fur renewal in
question, or some such covenant. It is also plain, in my
judgment, upon the menials that have been brought be-
fore me, that it is neither admitted nor proved that the tes-
tator had entered into any covenantor engagement, by which
the lessors of 1802 were bound to give the covenant
in question. lam apprehensive, therefore, that if the only
information to be obtained upon the subject is the informa-
tion now before the court, the bill must he di/mimed. But
it may he a question whether, if the plaintiffs conceive they
have a reasonable prospect of moving that the testator
entered into a covenant or engagement, by means of which
the leasers of 1902 were bound to give this covenant, they
should have an opportunity of trying what they can do.—
Mr. Russell said that his clients would like to have the
opportunity.
Ifis Honour : Refer it to the muter to inquire under
what (if say) lease or leases, or subject to what (if any) cove-
nant or covenants, these premises were held at the time of
the testator's death, and whether, under or by means of any
and what covenant or engerr went by which the testator nr
his estate was bound in his Ifetime, it was the duty of the
trustees, or incumbent upon them, to enter into the covenant
for renewal contained in the lease of 1802, or a covenant of
such a nature or kind. And let the master be at liberty to
state any circumstances specisllv.

Before Vice-t;hancenor Maras.
CROCKETT O. CROCKETT.—CONSTRUCTION OP W ILL.—
His Honour delivered judgment in this case, the argument
upon which was heard in December last. The facts were as
follow :--J. Crockett, by his will, dated Macao, 15th March,
1831, directed " that all and every part of his property
should be at the disposal of his most true and lawful
wife, Canaille Crockett, for herself and her children in
the event of any unforeseen accident happening to himself.
The testator died at Meow, in June, 1837. leavicg Caroline
Crockett, his widow, and five children surviving; and soon
afterwards administration of the testator's estate, with the ,
will annexed, was granted to the widow by the peeper au-
thorities at Macao. In Sept., 1837, the widow, who had
been advised that, under the will, she was absolutely entitled
to the whole of the testator's property to her own use, exe-
cuted a voluntary deed, whereby, after directing the sum of
15,0007. to be remitted to this country, she settled that sum
upon trust for herself for life. if she should so long remain
unmarried, and after her dealt or marriage upon trust fur
the five children of the testator. One of the children after-
wards died, and the bill was filed by the four surviving
children against the widow for an account of the
testator's estate, and praying a declaration that
the children were entitled under the will to the
testator's property jointly with the widow, and that the
deed of Sept., 1837, was not binding upon them. At the
hearing of the cause in 1841, the court made a declaration
that the children took an interest in possession in the
testator's property at his decease, under the testator's will,
and that the deed of Sept., 1837, was not binding upon
them ; and directed that the whole income of the testator's
residuary estate should be paid to the mother during the
infancy of the children, or until further order, she main-
taining and educating them in a proper manner. Upon the
eldest of the children attaining his majority, he presented
the present petition to the court, for a transfer of his portion
of the fund, and upon the hearing of the petition the ques-
tion was, whether the word " disposal " in the will
conferred upon the widow the power of diatri-
bating the capital of the fund amongst the children,
or whether she was entitled thereby only to the care and
custody of the income belonging to the children during their
minorities. His Honour held that the widow and her chil-
dren took a joint interest in the residuary estate of the tes-
tator, and, after directing the portion of the petitioner to be
paid to him, ordered that the direction which he had pre-
viously made should be continued as to the mother and the
Infant children.

bled this morning at the Lord Chancellor's residence.
Bustnitits or THE COUILT.—The arrean of business in %hie
court is very trivial. There are only thirty-two rules in the
special paper, of which seven stand for judgment ; thirteen
rules remaining for argument, and fifty in the new trial
paper; two of the latter stand for judgment, and the first of
the sixtythree rules was moved for in Michaelmas terra last.
BEILBY V. SHEPHEND.—THE MASTER OP A VESSEL
SOUGHT TO BB MADE LIABLE POE PENALTIES FOIL ACTING
AB Pitor or His own Voutut.—This was an action
beessat by an officer of the Trinity Board at Hull to recover
a _ally of 201. from the defendant, so master of a vessel
ealkad the Nrus (bound from Ostend to Gainshorough), for
refusing to take on board a licensed pilot, named Bailey, who
offered his services to the defendant in the Humber. The
action was brought under the 70th section of the General
Pilot Act (th- 6th Geo. IV., c. 1251, end a verdict was en-
tered
for the deriidant. under the direction of the Lord Chief
Biro., who was of opinion that the penalty given by the
70th section was not intended to be asamst the masters of
vessels, hut against foreign pilots who might be employed to
supersede the pilots regularly appointed by the Board of
Tniiity-house. Leave haring been reserved to move to enter
the verdict for the philltiff, should this court be of opinion
that the defendant incurred the penalty under the section of
the statute relied upuo.—A rule to show cause was now
grante...
THE NEWCANTLE-UPON-TINE BANI.—MT. Martin, Q.C.,
moved fur a dianingss to compel an appearance by or on
behalf of the Neweutleupon-Tyne Banking Company,
against whom proceedings were commenced in this court tt
appeared that the company had, under the provisions of the
Joint-Stock Banking Act (7 G. IV., C. 46), registered. the
names " Walter Scott and Daniel M'Kensie as " public
officers" who were to be nominal defendants in all actions
instituted against the company. Several attempts bad been
made to serve those persons with writs, and inquiries after
them made both at the company's place of business and in
the district where they were described to be resident, but
the affidavits, upon which the keened counsel moved, stated
that no clue could be found to their discovery, and it was
believed Were are so such persons in existence.—A rule to
show cause was granted.
VOLLANE e. FLETCHER.—NICESSITY FOR STAMPING
LITTERS ALLOTTING RAILWAY SHARIM ; °TUMMIES IN-
AZOILIMIIBLE AS EVIDENCE.—This action, which was tried
bikes the Lord Chief Baron during the last London sittings,
was brought by the plaintiff, an attorney at Hull, against
the defendant, as chairman of the Birmingham, West Brom-
wich, and Walsall Junction Railway Company, to recover
back 211., the amount of deposits paid by him upon tea
shares in that undertaking. The case proceeded upon the
principle established by the judgment of this court in " WaL
stabh v. Spottiewoode." It appeared that the plaintiff paid
the deposit within the time specified in the letter of allot-
meat, and complied with the other requisitions to entitle him
to get scrip certificates "in exchange for the banker's receipt"
(as promised by the It tter of allotment), but he neither get
scrip, or applied for it, until Dec., 1845, when it was deter-
mined that the priect should be abandoned. The managing
committee then refused to refund the deposits, alleging that
if the plaintiff had applied fur scrip certificates before they
bad determined to abandon the scheme, he could have had
them. The present action was the result of that refusal. The
laintiff 's case altogether depended upon the contents of the
letter of allotment, which, when offered in evidence, wasob.
jected to by the defendant's counsel, upon the ground that it
was in the nature of an agreement. and should, therefore, be
stamped. The plaintiff was nonsuited upon this objection.
—Mr. Martin, Q.C., now moved (pursuant to leave reserved)
to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, upon the ground that the
document was admissible as evidence without a stamp.
Mr. Baron Parke observed that the letter of allstment
seemed to him to be an agreement, which should be
stamped ; no matter whether it was per se binding upon the
parties, or whether it was evidence of We terms upon which
the plaintiff was to be entitled to get scrip certificates in
exchange for the banker's receipt.
The Lord Chief Baron distinguished the present ease from
that of " Walstabb v. Spottiswoode." In that cue it
appeared that Mrs. Walstabb, the plaintiff, had paid the
deposits upon the faith of getting scrip upon signing the
necessary deeds. She was prepared at all times to execute
them, but she was not allowed to do so, and ultimately was '
refired scrip; whereupon she insisted upon getting back the
full amount of the deposits she had paid. They were re-
funded to her. But, in the present case, it appeared that
the scrip was ready for the plaintiff at the company's offices.
and would have been delivered to hint if he had chosen to
call far it, which he never did from the 6th of November,
1845, when he paid the deposits, until the directors had
determined to abandon the undertaking and have its affairs
wound up. Beside., it was conceded that this was a bond
fide speculation —A rule to show cause why the verdict
should not be entered for the plaintiff was granted, after
some further discussion upon the subject.

ARCHES COURT.
KELLY V. KELLT, A DIVORCE CAPE, was brought on, the
wife sueiug the husband for a separation on the ground of
cruelty and adultery. The court held the charges proved,
and pronounced it favour of the wife, with 1101. per annum
as an allowance from the husband.

SURREY SESSIONS.
Wow Thomas Poetic, Eq., and a Bench of Magistrates.
CHURCHWARDENS OF EPSOM O. CHURCHWARDENS OP
MORTLAKE —REMOVAL OF PAUPERS.—This was an appeal
by the parish-officers of Epsom spinet the order of two
magistrates of -he county of Surrey for the removal of a
man, his wife, and three children, from Mortlake to their
parish. The removal at the same time being illegal and
contrary to the act of parliament —Mr. Robinson appeared
for the appellants, and Mr. Locke and Mr. Corner for the
respondenta.—lt appeared that on the 14th of October last,
an order was slimed by Edward Penrhyn, Esq., and Peter
Page, Esq., magistrates of the county, for the removal of a
man named Frederick Aylonn, his wife, and three children,
from Mortlake to Epsom. On the same day an application
was made to Reeve, Esq., and Peter Page, Esq., magis-
trates, to suspend the order of removal, as the man was too
ill. The suspension was accordingly issued, but a few days
after the man died, when the parish officers removed the
woman and her family to Epsom, without applying to the
magistrates to take the suspension off, which they ought to
bare done prior to the removal. Several caws were cited by
Mr. Robinson to show the illegality of the proceedings, and
the 56th George 111. cap. 101, sec. 2, clearly established the
fact on the part of the appellants.—After maturely consider-
ing the law on the question, the bench quashed the order,
on account of the suspension not being taken off, and
ordered the respondenta to pay 40s. costa and 355. for main-
tenance.

POLICE.-YESTERDAY.
CURREN WELL.—F more Marl sio.—Mr. Abraham
Mother, of No. 1, Park-lane, Islington, was charged with
furious driving, whereby Thomas Madden, a boy of nine
years, was severely injured. It appeared that on Sunday
evening, about seven o'clock, the boy was crowing Gray's
lon-road, when the wheel of the prisoner's gig caught his
dress, and he was in consequence injured severely. The pri-
soner drove on but was soon stopped and apprehended. The
prosecutor was conveyed to the hospital where he remaios.
A certificate from the house surgeon stated that the lad was
in no immediate danger; but that the wounds were of such •
character as would render his removal dangerous for some
weeks.—The case was remanded, but the prisoner was ad-
mitted to bail.
WORSHIP-STREET. —E2Tsausiva BUROLARIIIB.
Austin Montroe, who was stated to be a returned transport,
was charged with having burglariously entered the premises
of Mr. Joseph Berdoe, clothier, Goewell.street Road, and
stolen property to the amount of upwards of 3001., and also
on suspicion of having broken into the house of Messrs.
Huffam and Westaway, tailors in the City-road, and carried
, off cloth and other articles of nearly the same value.—Mr.
' Berdoe said that, on the night of the 23rd of Nov. last, his
remises were entered from the rear by some burglars, and a
large quantity of cloth and fancy goods to the above amount,
was abstracted. He immediately gave information to the
police, and in consequence of a communication be received
from Serjeant Brannan, he repaired to the shop of a pawn-
broker in the Hackney-road, where a cloak and other arti-
cles of dress were exhibited to him, which he at once recog-
nised as a portion of the stolen property.—Serjeant Brannan
stated that, having received information which indi-
rectly went to implicate the prisoner in several other
robberies of a similar description-, he went on the preceding
evening to a house in Martha-street, Haggerstone, where be
found the prisoner in bed, and took himinto meody. He
afterwards searched the plate, and on examioing his drawers,
discovered several duplicates, three of which related to the
cloak and other articles identified by the last witness, and
also a complete set of housebreaking implements. He was
recognised as having been concerned in another robbery,
upwards of a twelvemonth since.—William Hill, Mope=
to Mears. Harlem and Co., stated that, on the 21st October,
184 b, the prisoner, who was very stylishly attired, entered their
shop and asked for a pair of straps, which they were unable
the* to supply him with, and he went away, but afterwards
retained, accompanied by another man. The straps were
handed to the prisoner, who requested witness to adjust
them to his trousers, and while so engaged, the
other man abruptly quitted the shop, upon which the
prisoner also suddenly nee, although only one of the straps
had been fitted on, and hastened after his companion. Lin-
' mediately after they had left, witness a piece of
velvet and a roll of cloth, of the value of 101.,and he instantly
' ran out after then, but they had both disappeared. On the
i• Bth of December following, he observed the prisoner and
two other men scretinisiug the shop through the window,
: but on seeing that they were watched, they precipitately re-
: treated ; and two nights afterwards the premises were for-
, cibly entered and plundered of cloth and other articles of
the value of between 2001. sad 3001. Every effort had been
' ' amide to trace the stolen property, but without entrees, and
he saw nothing more of the prisoner until he ascertained
that he was in custody upon the former ebarge.—The pri-
sms:reserved his defence, and was remanded.

MONEY MARKET.
MONDAY Evatasa.

The funds have been in a steady quiescent state
generally. The resent speculative movement for the fall has
not been followed up, and the market may be said to have
partially recovered, as the quotations are scarcely altered.
The steadiness, however, may have been induced by pur-
chases of rime amount in Reduced Threes by a respectable
broker, understood to have been for account of rail-
way companies which have deposits to make within
the limited time after the meeting of parlianieet.
Purchases were made for the same clam of railway
interests by another eminent broker in Exchequer Bills,
which made the premium 155., and gave rise to the report
that the Treasury was about to raise the rate of interest.
These transactions gave a tone to the market, which never-
theless in the more speculative stock of Consols left off
heavy, at 931 to 1. Reduced Threes, 931 to 1. Three-and.

With the exception of a slight decline in Spanish there
has been no feature in the foreign market. The Fives were
last quoted 2.53 to 6; the Threes, 36; to 6. Portuguese, 37
to 8. The dividend upon this converted debt of Portugal is
advertised to be paid, and will, it is understood, be paid
through arrangements made here upon the emergency.
There appears to be some mystification about this affair
which may require to be cleared up, fur, after all, the mere
payment of a dividend is not the whole concern of the bond-
holders ;—it must be for their interest to know how it has
been effectad, PO U to understand their own and the true

MEXICAN CONVERSION.—The Spanish American Com-
mittee held a meeting today, it aware, and decided on the
publication of certain papers, of which, not having received
a copy, we can only briefly notice what seems to be the sub-
stance. The agents of the committee in Mexico, Messrs.
Maning and Mackintosh, advise that they had made arrange-
ments for remitting for the dividend, but a change of the
finance minister took place, and the new minister overact
the arrangements of the Senor Hero, late Mexican minister
of finance, who is stated in the private correspondasee
of the Express from Mexico to have received dr
moderate douceur of 250,000 dollars from the name
Mexican house of agency, the new loan contractors, sod
British consuls as well, for ratifying the very gainful con-
tract, before so righteously repudiated by his predecessor. by
which they were to make about one million sterling. The
Spanish American Committee add the consoling opinion of
Dr. Phillimore, that, according to the law of nations (the
chapter on loans not stated), Mexico ought to stand by the
contract; but how to be coerced into it does not appear.
There was some talk about propositions expected for the
arrangement of Peruvian loan affairs, but it may be doubted
whether the Spanish American Committee, as now consti-
tuted, is the body by which they could best be entertained.

RAILWAY NEWS.
There was a fiat market yesterday, with prices
unsteady, or in decline. Eastern Counties, Brightons,
N. Staffordshire'. Birmingham and Oxfords, were all rather
lower. Suckingbamabires, however, were in demand, and
rather better in price. The report was current that Mr.
Hudson had given in his resignation as Chairman of the
Eastern Counties line.
The business in the Liverpool sharesnarket was extremely
limited, and prices seemed to be giving way in most stocks.
Newcastle and Carlisle was almost the only old line which
was firm, end rather higher in price. The Irish lines, par-
ticularly Droghedas and Midland Great Western and Canal,
were still asked for. Foreign lines wen very dull.
There was a fair business done in the Manchester market
yesterday, and prices generally were sustained. A good
number of Birmingham and Oxfords changed hands at
111, 1 ; Leeds halves H. and S., 6 p. ; West Riding', 21.
The market at Birmingham was more animated, but the
' business was confined chiefly to Stour Valleys, this line
basing. our correspondent affirms, been at length sold to
the London and North-western Company, the terms being
two-thirds of the dividend of that company, payment to
commence when the line is completed ; 4 per cent. on calls
till the guarantee comes into operation. These shares, in
consequence, went up from 31 to 41 p. In other lines the
quotations remained almost unaltered.
At Leeds, there was an improved amount of business done,
in some instances, at slightly advanced rates, in others at a
trifling decline.
The Bristol market remained stationary. There was no
variation in the prices of any kind of stock or scrip. There
seemed to be a disinclination on the part of buyers to meet
the late quotations, and the business done was small.
A large business in shares was done at Glasgow in the
first part of lest week. It fell off on Friday and Saturdat
but prices were well sustained. At the close Edinburf
and Glasgow were held at 791; the Quarter shares sold or
191. 12a. 64. ; Ayr and Galloway were done at 4,55. 6d. and 41e. •
Glasgow General Terminus at 14 ; Glasgow, Dumfries, anti
Carlisle at 6/. 12a.; Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan
at 5 ; Kilmarnock and Ayr Direct at 525. ; Glasgow, Kil-
marnock and Ayr helves at 91.
At Edinburgh, on Friday, the sales on 'Change were
Caledonian (New) 68, to 675. 6d.: Direct Northern (Scrip),
Me. 6d. to 695. 6d. ; Dundee and Perth (New), 141 ; Edin-
burgh and Northern. 161 to 151 (ex new) ; Edinburgh,
Leith, and Granton, 211 to 21; East Lothian Central, 60s. ;
East of Fife, 635. ; Aberdeen, 251.
At Paris a fall took place in the prices of nearly all the
lines to the extent which appears from the following table.
It ought to be observed that the decline in Orleans was in
reality only 12f. 50c., allowing for 7f. 10c. interest deducted
from the rates of Jan. 6. For the same reason, the fall in
Vierson was properly speaking only 2f. 60e. ; and in Bor-
deaux only 60e
