CRAWFORD V. Sroomatt.—The argument in this case,
which was an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court
of Judicature of Bombay, was resumed this morning. The
question, which is one of great importance to the shipping
interest of India, wu whether the ship in question (the
General Wood), having been for some years the property of
foreigners, who had resold it to British subjects, was
entitled to be registered, and to the privileges of registry
under the act of the 3 and 4 Victoria, c. 66, and the act of
the legislative council of India, of the sth of July, 1841.
For the appellant it woe contended that the condition im-
posed by some of the acts (the 65th of George 111., c. 116,
and the 3rd and 4th Will. IV., e. 69), that the ship must be
owned " and continue to be owned " by British subjects,
did not mean from the time the ship was built, but from the
time of registration. The words in one of the sections were
shall continue to belong. ite.." and those words haring
reference to ships captured as prises of war or forfeited and
condemned for the breach of some Lori they would not
apply in any other sense to them. This ship, therefore,
being British built and British owned at the time of the
applscation to the respondent, who was the registrar
of ships at Bombay, was entitled to be registered.
On the other side it was contended that the clear policy and
object of the legislature was to prevent British ships getting
into the bands of foreigners, and the only means of effecting
this was to impose the condition of continuous ownership.
Construing all the acts together, it was impossible not to see
that the legislature intended that ships, to be entitled to the
privileges of registry, should continue in British hands from
the time they were built ; and this restriction was necessary
to prevent fraud, and particularly to enforce the regulations
of the slave trade abolition acts.
Lord Brougham, after a very short deliberation, said their
lordships were clearly of opinion that the condition of con-
tinuous ownership did not apply to the ship in question, upon
the sure construction of the acts of the British legislature
applicable to India, and the act of the legislative council of
the 6th of July, 1841. The conditions were that the ship
should be built within the limits of the company's charter,
and be owned by British subjects at the time of registration ;
and these requisites having been complied with the ship was
entitled to be registered, and the judgment below must be
reversed.

EQUITY COURTS.
Before the Vice-Chancellor of Enghsnd.
Ynia ELECTRIC TELEORAPH COMPANY v. NOTT.--MO-
- TOR AN INJUNCTION —Mr. Bet/14111, Mr. Teed, and
Mr. Heatbfield, appeared in support of a motion which
was commenced on Monday for an injunction to restrain
the defendant from using • certain mechanical instrument,
called the electric telegraph, which the plaintiffs contended
was an infringement of a patent already obtained by them.
It appeared that several patents had been taken out, com
mencing in the year 1837, by William Follyger Cook and
Charles Wheatstone, for the electric telegraph and for various
improvements in working it. The last patent was in Sep-
tember, 1842, after which a company was formed for carry-
ing out the invention. In January last, the defendant
obtained a patent for an improvement upon the invention
used by the plaintiffs, and a telegraph constructed upon his
principle was in use on the Northampton and Peter-
borough Railway. The discovery of this instrument was made
at the Bliaworth station, where it had been seen by a person
who bad placed • ladder against the window of the station
for that purpose.—Mr. Stuart and Mr. Webster, for the de-
feniant, contended that there had been no infringement of
the plaintiff's patent. The principle of moving needles by
electricity was not new, neither was it new to arange the
needles so as to give signals—these two objects contained in
the plaintiff% specification had been long known, the only
new invention was the adaptation of these principles to the
use of the telegraph upon railways. The method devised
by the plaintiff was to cause the needles to vibrate a certain
number of times, swore ing to the letter intended to be denoted,
so that four vibrations would designate the letter D, and soon,
in pursuance of conventional signals at the different stations;
but the defendant had invented a completely different system;
he had arranged a dial-plate with the alphabet upon it, and
the needles, when moved by the electric agency, would point
at the actual letter intended. The instrument was so simple
and se easily managed, that no mistake could pos.ibly arise ;
moreover, the defendant's invention was complete with one
wire, whereas that of the plaintiff required five. The argu-
ments on behalf of the defendant were not concluded at the
rising of the court yesterday. Mr. Bethell, this morning,
objected to the motion being proceeded with, on the ground
that the defendant had filed an affidavit last night, which
the plaintiffs could have had no time for answering.
The Vice-Chancellor said he thought the best plan would
be to let the motion st ind over, with liberty for the plaintiff
to bring an action at law.

WORT.III. e. FRAIIIPTON.—SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.—
TRUSTERS' COVSNANTri.—This was a suit for the specific
performance of an agreement to grant a building lease fur
64 years of certain copyhold premises at Highgate, forming
part of the Manor of llornsey. In November, 1832, Mr.
James Alexander Frampton, the then owner of the inheri-
tance of the premises, agreed to demise the same to Mr.
William Worley for the period in question ; but as the cus-
tom of the Manor of Hornsey did not admit of a demise for
a longer period than 21 years, it was agreed that J. A.
Frampton should demise the premises to Worley for 21
years, the lease containing a covenant for renewal at the
end of the term for the further term of 21 years, at the like
rent, and subject to similar covenants; and also for the fur-
ther renewal of such lease for the further term of 21 years,
at the expiration of the renewed term at the like
rent; so that Worley, his executors, administrators, and
assigns might enjoy the land for the full term of 63
years. And it was also agreed that the necessary
licenses to renew should from time to time be procured at the
expense of J. A. Frampton, hie heirs and assigns. Subse-
quently to this agreement J. A. Frampton died, having de-
vised the property in question to the defendant, W. H.
Frampton, upon the trusts and for the purposes mentioned
in his will. William Worley was also dead at the time the
bill was filed, and the plaintiffs, as his personal representa-
tives, claimed the benefit of the agreement in question. At
the hearing of the cause a decree was made for specific per-
formance, and a reference was directed to the Muter to settle
and approve of a lease of the land according to the terms of
the agreement. A lease had accordingly been settled by the
Master, containing, amongst other provisions, a covenant on
the part of the defendant, to renew st the expiration of the two
terms of 21 years mentioned in the agreement, and to procure
the licenses for such renewals at his own expense; subject, how-
ever, tx the qualification, that the covenant to renew was
to bind the defendant, his heirs and assigns, in respect only of
the premises demised ; and that he and they should be
liable to an action for breach of such covenant only as
owner or owners of the premises. The case now came on
upon exceptions to the Master's report, the defendant ob-
jecting that he could not, in his character of trustee without
any beneficial interest in the premises, be compelled to enter
into a covenant of the description proposed. Mr. Humphrey
and Mr. Faber appeared for the defendant in support of the
exceptions, and Mr. Romilly and Mr. Nerinson for the re-
port.—Judgment deferred.
DARPA E. 111PFT11. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCI.— Mr.
Rolt and Mr. Surridge were beard for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Romilly and Mr. Sperling for the defendant in this case ;
the object of the suit being to enforce the specific perform-
ance of an agreement alleged to have been entered into by
the defendant, Mr. William Betts, to take a lease from the
plaintiff of a house and premises in Hkaibury-place, Islington.
—His Honour reserved his judgment upon the case, which
involved no question of general interest.

Before Vice-Chareellor Knight Bruce.
ATORNEY GENERAL V. BRIOHTON, LEWES, AND EAST-
.SOS RAILWAY COMPANY. —PASSAOE OP RAILWAY OVER
Punt= ROAD.—In this case, which was an information
^'-'ll at the relation of Borrer and others, who represented
lonimissioners for the Improvement and Regulation of
:own of Brighton, the relators had obtained an injunc-
...an against the railway company, to restrain them from
building a bridge over the Preston Boundary road leading from
Lewes road to the Ditchling-road, until three issues
Id have been tried. The issues were these:—l. Whe-
the road between the Ditchling turnpike-road and
--re Lewes turnpike-road is a public carriage-road? 2.
Whether the width of the arch of the bridge would be such
sto leave thereunder a clear space of not less than 2.5 feet.
Whether the bridge was in height, width, and position,
4 as the defendants were by their act authorised to make.
_ issues were tried before Lord Denman and a special
jury at the last summer assizes, when ••general verdict was
found for the defendants, the Railway Company, on the
ground that the entire road in question, namely, as well that
part which is in the parish of Brighton as that which is in
he parish of Preston, was dedicated to the public, and con-
timidly that the parish in each case was liable to
e repairs of the bridge. A motion was now made by the
relators for a new trial, on the ground that evidence had
been improperly received by the learned judge, and, in fact,
that the substance of all the issues had not been tried. Mr.
Wigram, Mr. Pole, and Mr. Peacock argued in support of '
the motion. Mr. Russell, Mr. Bolt, and Mr. Waddington
were heard on the other side.
His Honour said, that assuming that all the evidence had
been properly received, and that the whole case had been, in
other respects. satisfactorily and discreetly laid before the jury
by the Lord Chief Justice, yet it appeared to his honour that
certain evidence which had been pointedly brought to the
attention of the jury by the learned judge bad not been duly
considered by thrm. His honour, upon the whole, thought
that it could not be surmised that the jury had satisfactorily,

upon a mature consideration of sufficient evidence,
arrived at the conclusion that this road was entirely dedi-
cated to the public. The evidence of dedication of one part
of it to the public, depended on the testimony of a Mr.
Smithers, who appeared only to be a tenant of the property,
whereas Mr. Harrington was the owner of the property in
question. He thought that, on the ground of unsatisfactory
and defective evidence having been given as against
the owner of the soil, and generally on the ground
that the two last issanes bad not been satisfactorily tried,
there must be a new trial.
Ls THE MATTER or °ELEA'S CHARITY.—NATIONAL
SCHOOLB.—CHARITY.—Robert Ogler, by his will dated in
1897, founded a school at Low Leyton, in Essex, with a
stipend of 121. a year for the master ; and by an order of the
Court of Chancery, dated in 1709, on an information re-
specting the charity, a reference was made to the master to
make certain inquiries, upon which the master having made
hie report, the trustees prepared rules for the regulation of
the school, which were afterwards approved by the court.
Among these rules, it was provided that the number of
scholars should be 14, seven of whom were to be of each of
the perishes of Leyton and Walthamstow.
The present petition was presented in the matter of the
above cbsrity, and also of the statute 52 George 111. (pro-
viding a summary remedy for abuses of charity trusts), the
statute 3 and 4 Victoria (for extending the benefit of gram-
mar
schools), and the statute 1 William IV. restecting con-
veyances by trustees and mortgagees. After stating the
above will and order in Chancery, the petition alleged
that neither Latin nor Greek had been taught for
sixty years in the schiol, but only reading, writ-
lop, and arithmetic, and that the master bed re-
ceived the 121. a year, and certain profits of a house
and land, making altogether 321. a year, a sum entirely ins-
dequate for a competent master in Latin and Greek, which
branches of education, however, were not needed ; that the
schoolhouse was in a state of great dilapidation, and its re-
building would be most desirable, but that there was no fund
for such a purpose ; that there are at Layton national schools
for boys and girls, which schools are sustained, and the sala-
ries of the masters and mistresses paid. by annual and gem
subscriptions by the inhabitant* of Layton ; that 8001. bad
been lately subscribed for the erection of buildings for the
national schools, and residences for the masters and mis-
tremes of the same ; that in April last the mastership of the
Oiler's charity school became, and still is, vacant, and on
the tad June, at a meeting of the trustees, it was resolved
I that it would be beneficial to rebuild the school, so as to ea-
commodate the children of the parish generally, girls as well
as boys ; and that, on the Bth of the same month, at a meet-
ing of the trustees and of the subscribers of the 8001, a
resolution was passed for the adoption of the recommenda-
tion of the meeting of the 2nd, and that steps should betaken
to obtain the sanction of the Court of Chancery to new rules
and regulations for the government of the school. The peti-
tion then set forth a set of new rules which had been drawn
up, and it prayed the approval of the resolutions, and of the
new rules ,• and, if necessary, a reference to the master to
approve of a scheme for the administration of the charity. and
for the appointment, as new trustees, of Mr. J. Pardee, pun.,
Mr. R. B. Allen. and Mr. F. R. Bedwell. The petitioners
are the Rev. C. H. Laprimaudaye, J. A. Doxat, ft. Barclay,
J. Pardo?, and W. T. Copeland, Esq., all of Lepton; sad
the Rev. W. Wilson, and J. Masterman, Esq., both of Wei-
thamstow. The case GEM on for bearing on Friday last,
when Mr. Cotton, who appeared io support of the petitioa,
stated, that it was thought desirable by the petitioners and
other persons interested, that this school should be placed
under the superintendence of the master of the National
School at Layton.
His Honour expressed some doubt as to the propriety of
thot arrangement, and ordered the petition to stand over.
upon that point until to-day. He at the same time observed
that he assented to that part of the swayer of the petition
which related to the appointment of new trustees ; and he
agreed with the petitioners in thinking that Greek and Latin
might not be necessary. On this day the case was again
mentioned by Mr. Cotton.
His Honour asked under whose superintendence the tui-
tion would be, supposing this school to be incorporated with
the national school ; would it be under that of government
inspectors ?—Mr. Cotton said that the inspectors could have
no authority to interfere against the wishes of the trustees ;
but if the trustees had the benefit of the assistance of govern-
ment, they would be ready to submit to the government
inspectors.
His Honour said that his inquiries did not proceed on any
doubt of the propriety, utility, or wisdom of having a school
of education sanctioned by government instructors, but
because the charity was a private one, administered by
trustees, who alone were responsible for its due
ment in conformity with the wishes of the founde':".ntre
had no objection to give the trustees power to select an addi-
tional number of boys, and to take from them certain small
payments, at their discretion. This was generally found to
produce advantages, not the least of which was that it did
not enable any person, or body (except the ;trustees), to in-
terfere. He understood the free scholars were to be selected
from one parish, as heretofore. To that he had no objection.
The school-house mights as asked, be built on the property
of the testator, and also a residence fir the schoolmistress of
the girls ; to be let by the trustees at a nominal rent from
year to year ; the school to be under the direction of the in-
cumbent of the perish, for reading, writing, and arithmetic,
and religious instruction.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Cimnitsm..
Nisi Pura—Before Lord Denman and a Special Jury:_
HALL v. DAYHELL.—COLLISION.—Mr. Serjeaut Wilkins
and Mr. Edwin James were counsel for the plaintiff, who
sought to recover the sum of 181. as damages for the injury
done to his cabriolet b' the phaeton of the defendant having
run against it in Oxford-street on the 11th of May last. The
cuestion in the case was, whether the collision had been occa-
atoned by the negligence or unskilfulness of the defendant,
or by the horse of the defendant having taken fright at the
sulacking of a whi a thirperson, and havin for the
moment become too violent for control.—Mr. Whig tehurst,
Q.C., and Mr. Petersdorff, for the defendant, did not call a
lady whom he had been driving at the time, and a policeman
deposed to the fact of the defendant's groom having said at
the time that the bit was not strong enough for the horse.
Under these circumstances, the jury, at the conclusion of the
case, returned, without hesitation, a verdict for the plaintiff
for the full amount claimed.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Nal Parcn—Before Sir P. Pollock. C. 8., and a London Commce
W v. BRAND.—PROPERTY IN BOOKS P
ÜB-
LISHEDP BY • BOOKSELLER WHO BECOMES BANKRUPT DORS
NOT PASS TO THE ARSIONEK—This was an action of trover,
to recover the value of 1,575 copies of a pamphlet, written
by the plaintiff, who is a surgeon, and entitled, " Tight
Lacing and its Consequences."
It appeared that the work in question was printed in
Jane last, and sent to the house of Air. Cunningham, the
bookseller and publisher is the Strand, for sale on commis-
sion. Cunningham became bankrupt in November, 1845,
when the pamphlets, claimed by the plaintiff, together
with the other property found on the premises occu-
pied by the bankrupt, were seized by the messenger
of the Court of Bankruptcy under the fiat. They
were taken to 22, Fleet-street, Southgate's celebrated auction
mart for the sale of literary property, but, before they were
sold, it appeared that the bankrupt informed his assignees
that the copies of the pamphlet seized were not his property,
and that they had been merely sent to him to sell upon corp.
mission. They were notwithstanding sold, and realised only'
2L 17s. The present action wasthen brought against Cunning-
ham's assignee, at whose instance the sale had taken place.
It was now contended, on behalf of the defendant, that he
was entitled, under the Bankrupt Act, to sell the goods, as
they had been found in the posses Zion, order, and disposition
of the bankrupt at the time of his bankruptcy.
The Lord Chief Baron, however, expressed a decided
opinion that the property did not pus to the assignees. It
was notoriously the custom of the trade in which the bank-
rupt bad been engaged to sell literary works upon commission,
and persons dealing with him upon credit might know very
well that all the property in his possess was not his :at
all events, they ought to inquire into the fact. It was quite
clear the defendant knew, before the sale, that the pamphlets
in question were not the property of the bankrupt, and if
the jury believed the evidence they were bound to find •
verdict for the plaintiff, with such damages as they conceived
be was entitled to.
The jury returned a verdict for 30/., and leave was re-
served to enter it for the defendant, should the court above
be of opinion that the property did vest in the assignees.

MURDERS AT STARTFORTR, NEAR BARNARD CASTLE.
—G. Barker. 19, John Breckon. 24, and T. R. Raise. 19 ,
against whom two trite bills bad been found for the murder
of J. Yates and Catherine Raine, at Startforth, on the
10th of August, 184 h, were charged with the wilful murder
of the former only. Bliss, Mr. Pulleine, and Mr. Over-
end were counsel for the prosecution. Mr. Matthews and
Mr. Blanshard defended Barker and Raine, and Mr. Picker-
ing appeared on behalf of Breckon.—The prisoners, who
appeared quite unconcerned, pleaded Not Guilty in a firm
voice.—The details were chiefly derived from the evidence
of Ann Humphreys, who was, at the time of the alleged
murder, working at a factory at Barnard Castle, being
about twenty-one years of age, having had an illegitimate
child, living in a house in Briggate with her father and
sister, and child. She went to bed on the night of
the 10th of August, 1845, about the same time with her
father, her sister having gone to bed before her;
and being restless she rose, dressed herself, and then
went down and stood at her own door. She stood
there for some time, and she saw in the street the
deceased J. Yates, a tailor, and the girl Catherine Aline.
She went over and spoke to him, and while she stood there,
the three prisoners at the bar came down Briggste from
Thorngate, towards the bridge which spans the River Tees.
They came up to him and Ann Humphreys, who was invited
by Raine, the father of her child, to go with them. They
walked together towards the bridge, first Yates and Cathe-
rine Raine, next Raine the prisoner, and Ann Humphreys ;
and Barker and Breckon behind. As they were going down,
Raine, who was walking with Ann Humphreys, said that
Yates had money, and they wanted to get it. She replied,
" Poor fellow ! he will spend it among you—let him alone."
The parties went over the bridge, and then Barker, who was
behind, went up to Yates, and asked him if he intended to
go as a witness against him in a forthcoming trial in which
Barker was concerned. Yates replied that he must go if he
were forced, or something of that kind. Barker then went
before him again, and said, " Give us your money." He re-
fined, and reference was made about going against him, when
a similar answer was given. linker struck Yates; all the
three prisoners then gathered round him ; Catherine Raine
shrieked often and loud, until silenced, as was Ann Hum-
phreys, by threats which were made by the prisoners, who
said the females should be thrown over the wall, or into the
river, if they were not quiet.'They then left Yates leaning
against a wall, at • distance of fifty or sixty yards from the
bridge. Ann Humphreys then saw the prisoners dividing

Company 5 per cent. upon their subscribed capital of 50,0001. from
the Ist. of Jan., 1847, to the Id of Jan., 1848; 6 per cent. from the Ist

Company also to pay the interest which might be due and payable
upon the sum of 16,6001• borrowed by the Abeerdare Company, upon
debentures now bearing an interest of 4i per cent. per annum, under
the authority of the Aberdare Company's, act of parliament. The
agreement to be considered as made upon the clear understanding
that the sum expended in the obtaining the act of parliament, in the
purchase of land, and in the construction of the road. should not

it would probably be necessary to go tortmlisment for power to carry

ing the application to parliament for powers to send an Aberdare
director to the Tel Vale board were then adopted, and the meeting
broke up.

the lease of the Aberd,rc Railway to the Taff Vale Company. In open-
ing the business, the chairman explained the circumstances under
which the agreement had been entered into. Sir John Guest and
Mr. Crawshay Bally were attending a board meeting of the Taff Vale
Railway at Cardiff, when the directors, who had seen an ad
In reference to powers taken by another company to lesse the
Aberdare line, deemed it their duty to their proprietors to negotiate
with Mr. Bally and Sir John Guerd. The agreement would, if carried
out, prove a moat advantageous one for the Taff Vale Company. Con-
sidering the Aberdare branch for itself, the bargain must be regarded
as a beneficial one ; but looking at it as an adjunct of the Taff Vale
line, it could not fail to increase the revenue of that company.
To work so short a branch, it would not be neceeaary to make any
addition to their present staff, and at, the agreement must tend to
their advantage the directors recommended the proprietary to carry
it out. Ty! agreement (ace rep?rt or the Aberdare meeting) having

been read bilhe secretary, a
Hawley, Mr. H. R. Hall, and Mr. Wm. Morgan complained that the
directors bad not consulted the interests of the Taff Vale proprietors.
The Aberdare branch ought to have been made for the joint benefit
of the Taff Vale shareholders, and it ought not to have been permitted
that their chairman and another gentleman should have constructed
It, and now made such advantageous terms. To this it was replied
by the chairman, Mr. Poole, Mr. James, and
Sir John Guest
himself, that Sir John Guest commenced the line for the benefit
of the Taff Vale Company, and at a time when that company was
in so low a financial condition as to render even the completio
endea-
n of its
own line doubtful ; that when he projected it, Sir John had
voured, without success, to get the different landowners and other
capitally!, to take shares, and that until after the passing of the act
the line was thought nothing of, and no one would do so. And it was
further stated by Sir John that the Aberdare company could at once
obtain from another company 10 per cent., but that he had deter-
mined to lease it to the Taff Vale company, for whose benefit he mane
the branch. Upon the resolution, approving of and confirming
agreement, being put to the meeting, It was adopted with three
dissentients.
MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—THE ELECTRIC TRLE-
ouru.—Armngements are in pewees for the extension of the
electric telegraph on the Great Western Railway. The commit-
nication at present is only available as far as Slough, a distance
of 18 miles and a quarter, but it is intended to extend it In the
first place to Bristol. This will be a very great benefit, both to the
commercial communities of that mercantile city and the metropolis,
as the market prices of foreign and home produce, state of the public
funds, prices of railway and other shares, &e., Can be transmitted in a
few minutes to agents at either place. When the communication be-
tween the metropolis, Bath, and Bristol is completed, it is intended, if
the sanction of government can be obtained, to extend the telegraph to
Exeter on the Bristol and Exeter Railway ; onwards to Plymouth on
the South Devon Atmospheric line" and thence across the Hama=
to Falmouth, when the Cornwall railway comes Into operation. From
the latter port, at a trifling expense, the long-desired telegraphic corn-
munication with the Lizard point could be attained; from Bristol the
government might adopt the submarine telegraphic rope (so ounce's-
fully brought into operation at Portsmouth) across the Severn and
onwards to Pembroke dockyard, at MiUord Haven. The orders from
the Admiralty could then he issued and received in an incredible short
time at all the naval arsenals in the kingdom, and in cases of emer-
gency vessels could be brought forward for sea service at the several
dockyards so soon as the necessity for so doing is known at the Admi-
ralty in London.
SALISBURY AND BARNOBTOKR.—Mr. Lock has made a
satisfactory report to the directors of this company of the state of the
work*. Notice has been mint to the government inspector that he may
name a day for surveying the line ; and it is intended to open it on the
Ist of January.
THE GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER Was closed on Satur-
day; and yesterday workmen commenced tilling up the canal, and
making the necessary preparations for laying down a double line of
rails.
SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY. —An the completion of
the foreign lines to the roast will materially increase the traffic on
Ibis line, the directors are making arrangements for a new loco-
motive establishment at Ashford. The works will consist of a large
engine shed, 288 feet by 63,jwhich will be capable of containing
sixteen locomotives and tenders. There is also to he a repairing shop,
395 feet by 45 : a smithy, 176 feet by 45, capable of bolding 50 fires : a
boiler and wheel shop, 145 feet by GO: a shop for repairing tenders,
73 feet by 45 : a carnage and wheel shop, 645 feet by 100, capable of
containing from 150 to 200 carriages.
l'Aitta AND RHEIMS.—As regards the plan for that por-
tion of the above line which crosses the department of the Eure, and
extends between Rouen and Beauvais, the counc:l-general of the
department has just expressed its opinion on the subject in the fol-
lowing resolution —" Considering that the plan by *limy, Chsrleval,
and Gisors, would be law expensive, and would offer more facility
and security than that by Vaseamil ; that it meets in its course with a
large population, and many industrial establishments of great im-
portance • that it puts into more direct communication Cherbourg,
Caen, a Portion of the west, and the department of the Eure, with
Picardy and the north; and that it unites all the arrondissements;
the council is of opinion that, seeing the difilcuity which the com-
pany itself signalises in the execution of the plan by Vascceull and
Gournav, the government should adopt the plan by Allsoy, Charle-
roi, and Gisots."
ST. QUENTuiI TO THE BELGIAN FRONTlER.—Pursuant
to instructions transmitted by the French Minister of Public Works
to the prefects of the departments of the Aisne and of the north, the
prefect of the Aitmehas opened an rupsPir upon the project presented
by a company for the establishment of a railway from St. Quentin to
the frontier of Belgium, by Maubeurte. This line would cross in the
arrondissements of St. Quentin and of Verrins, the communes of
Harty, Hombliares, Marcy, Hannapes, Vanf relies, OiSy, Laixtrecies,
Novelties, Hautmont, and Journent.

Marcus:mut, Du. 15.-Theamouni of business done since Saturday
has been very limited. For 66 and 72 reed shirting. the advanced
prices have been fully maintained, bat with few transaction.. Very
little business has been done in yarns, and prices may be said to be
nominal.
WOOLLENS, &c.-laros, Dec. 15.-The attendance of both
manufacturers and merchants in the Moth-hall this morning was
very limited, and the tranaactions were, consequently, few. In-
deed, it seldom happens that in the last fortnight of the year any
business of consequence iv effected in the Cloth-halls. The few sales
that took place were mainly in heavy winter cloths and cloakings.
BLANKETS.-liancilimowns., Punt -Though the attendance
of merchants here was larger than on Thursday last, and there was
an increased amount of businem done, it was evident that the mer-
chute bought only for mesa tment, with a view to the reduction of
their stocks before the close of the year. Should the present severe
weather continue, however, a considerable diminution will be speedily
effected, and a brisk demand may yet spring up before the Christmas
festivities are concluded.
