felony and 7 with miedusurtor ; 64 could read end write

day an °filar who had watched the prisoner's manoeuvres in
the preceding instance saw him again go past the harrier, and
take up • portmanteau, with which he was making off,
when he was taken into custody —The court intimated that
one of the other COWS had better be investigated.
The prisoner was then indicted for stealing • carpet-hag

arrest of the prisoner, there were found a number of dupli•
totes which belonged to him. These related to shirts and
other articles of apparel, which, it turned out, were is a

Shorediteh station. The articles were now produced and
poaitively identified by • gentleman named Bagel), living at
logatestone, who came up by the railway and found his
carpet-bag gone upon his arrival in town. It was proved by
the prisoner's landlady that he brought home a carpet bag

Those bills, each far a large amount, were discounted and

Hurt JISWELII.—This case occupied the greater part of yes-

en action of trorer brought in pursuance of an order of
the Mester of the Rolls, to ascertain whether a certain deed ,
dated the 19th of May, 1821, and conveying a valuahle col-
lection of diamonds, and other jewels, to Mr. Henry Thomas
Hope one of the plaintiff*, was or was not executed by the
late Henry Philip Hope, Esq., at or about the time it bore
date. The late Mr. H. I'. Hope, who died on the sth of
December, 1839, bequeathed 40,0001. a year to his eldest
nephew, Henry Thomas, the principal plaintiff ; 30,0001. a
year to Adrian, his sec tnd nephew ; and 20,0001. a year to
Alexander Stretford. In f of the latter he alto made a
will in 1838, bequeathing him the jewels in question, which
were valued tor probate duty at 84,000!. The plaintiff,
however, conceived himself entitled to them under the deed
of 1821,' and accordingly filed a bill in Chancery,
to ascertain his tights. The details of the case are
reserved until its termination.—Sir Y. Thedger, Q C., Mr.
Peacock, and Mr. Rickards, were counsel for the plaintiffs,

MATNISON 9. MAII6ATII.-111 A MASUI•O6 A RIVOCA-
?ION or • WILL I—This was a question of some importance
relative to the law of wills, made under certain circum-
stances. It appeared that the testator, Col. Melville Gore
Mathison, while quartered at Enniskillen, had made an
offer of marriage to a lady named Elisabeth Magrath, but,
before it was solemnised, he was taken ill, when he made a
will by which he bequeathed the whole of his property to
his mother for life, end then to Miss Maegrath, saying, if
anything should happen to him, he wished to provide for
her. The 'sill bore date March 14, 1833, and the merrier
took place the following November, from which four chil-
dren were the Iseult. It appeared the colonel died leaving
his father and mother, with his widow and four children,
hi• sonivois. The mother, through her proctor, new asked
to have probate granted to the will of her son, under which
she took a life interest. —Dr. Haggard opposed it, on the
pot of the guardian of the four children who were minors,
contending that the will was revoked in consequence of the
subsequent marriage and the birth of the children. In the
mum of en elaborate argument by the learned advocate
the following coma wore quoted—" Fox te. Marston;" " load
e. Roden, 'Walker o. Walker" (2 Cordes, 864). The
learned civilian then referred to the last edition (4th) of Mr.
Jostles Williams's work in support of these cans, add cone
tended that the will must be revoked and the children pro-
vided for.—Dr. R. Phillimore, on the part of the life
annuitant under the will, contended that the will was good
in law, that the widow and children were provided for under
that will, though it would not t,ke effect until the death
of the mother of the testator lie contended that the emu
of " Fox and Marston" and Israel and Roden,"decided by
the privy council did sot apply to this case, and quoted the
cue of " Marston me. Roe,' decided in the Richaquer by Mr.
Justice Tindal. Re argued that the will before the court
was in • very different position, for it was made in *Drown-
plitioe of the marriage, and a provision was made for the
wile, and therefore foe the children.—The court asked, what
might be the position of the children it their mother married
again t—Dr. R. Phillimore allowed that might change the
position of the case. In continuing his argument, the
learned mussel referred to the case of ' Brown and Thomp-
son," where the party made a will before marriage, pro-
viding for the lady who became the testator's future wife,
and who gave birth to a child. In this butanes the will
was not revoked,—The court thought the estate, having been
left to the lady and her heirs, accounted for it, as the child
was heir to the estate upon the demise of its mother.
Dr. R. Phillimore, in seatinuation said, the came of " Walker
a. Walker," which had hero quoted by Dr. Haggard, he
held to be an ex parte one, end dkl not therefore boar upon this.
lie contended that the Whew had se lathatios to alter this
will, feeling it to have bosh steal dispealtkaat ids property,
and did not therefore attempt te make any othrs.—The
Court thought after so thing deciskos ea this guides, It had
been settled. The whelks is, did the whirler amount to
a revocation of the teMatto's will ? It did net think the
ere of " Fox e. Kantes " was in point, bat it would take
time to consider the gaieties.

An extraordinary change came over the funds to-
day. For some time past the daily record has been
of partial advances in price one day, counterbalanced
by a decline the next, with, upon balance, a certain
degree of improvement. The battle between the spe-
culators for the fall, operating almost wholly for time,
and the tenacious holders and buyers of stock, for
there can scarcely be said to have been sw-
culators otherwise for the rise, has this day
however been somewhat decisively determined
in favour of property, that is of those who are real
possessors of public securities, or who have purchased
upon the anticipation of their improving value.
From the tenor of the observations under this head
this morning, and the dispas.ionate review of the
operations of the day there presented, witiomit ally
expression of other than the market opinion, it would
be gathered nevertheless how the current of feeling
ran on the Stock Exchange, where it was seen
that the " Beare," sr speculators for the fall, were
hastily, and at loss, prudently buying in their
accounts, and turning them, so that instead of
*banging" the market to cast down prices, they
were making their combinatior a for moving
in the opposite direction, and, with cautious provision
far security against more than r possible loss in any
contingency, speculating at once for the rise in prices
which, with the exercise of emiamon sagacity, they
saw was imminent and impending. The phases of
the market to-day carry instruction with them. Con-
sols opened at 87i to 3, but at rather buyers ; after-
wards they declined to 871 buyers ; from thenoefor-
ward the advance was steady to 881, at which they
were bought as the extreme price, leaving off strong
at 88 to 3 both for money and account. These
results are satisfactory corroboration of the
faithful descriptions of the market daily which
have been given in the Express upon, it
is only proper to add, information derived from the
highest and moss. honourable sources in the Stock Ex-
change itself. Reduced Threes left off 86; to 3.
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 861 to 7. Long
Annuities, as before, 8 9-16 to 3. Exchequer Bills,
41s. to 445. pat. India Bonds, 38a. to 40.. pm.
Bank Stock, 188 to 190. India Stock, 239 to 241.
South Sea Stock was done at 96.
The attention of jobbers and speculators was too
much engrossed by Console to attend to foreign securi-
tiee. The foreign market, although displaying more
firmness, was therefore not the soene of much active homi-
ness. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. werecalled 471
to 8; the Fours, 72 to 4. MIMOSA, 100 to 1. Bel-
gian, 71 to 2. Danish, 62 to 5. Spanish Fives, 111
to 12 ; the Threes, 243 to ; Passive, 3to t. Porta-
gnaw, 24 to 6. Mexican, 213 to /. Brazilian, 73

Ecuador, 23 to 1. Peruvian, 36 to 8. Venezuela,
14 to 16, done at 143 ; the Deferred, 43 to 1.
The tendency of foreign exchange was rather higher
to-day on some of the chief drawing places. On
Amsterdam the negotiations were 12.2 to 3 ; on
Rotterdam, 12.23 ; on Antwerp, 26.80; on Ham-
burg, 13.113 to 12; on Frankfort, 1211 to 3; on Pe-
tersburg, 361; on Paris (at short), 25.423 to 45 ; on
Vienna, 11.15 to 20; on Trieste, 11.20 to 25; on
Leghorn, 31.93 to 32; on Naples, 40; cn Madrid,
471; on Lisbon 62—a1l but Paris at 3 months.
The commercial accounts from the United States by
the America steamer come extremely favourable. both
for monetary and commercial affairs. Tee virtual
election of Oen. Taylor for President had evidently
given greatsatisfaction to, and infused muchconfidence
in, all the great commercial and more substantial inte-
rests of the union. For, it was not believed, notwith-
standing his whig connexion, that he would attempt
any alteration in the tariff in the shape of protection
to national manufactures, which was already quite
excessive, and quite opposed to the true interests and
policy of the republic.. It is to be regretted, how-
ever, that garb oeenextoe, and the conditions to which
