EQUITY COURTS.
Before the Lord Chancellor.
IN THE MATTER OF DTCE SOMBRE, A LVNATIC.—There
were three petitions in this matter for hearing—one to in-
crease a pension granted by the late Princess Sombre to a
servant to India ; a second, to repay Mrs. Sombre sums ad-
vanced by her as committee of the person ; and a third, to pay
Mr. Coppock 900/. due to him fur conducting the election at
Sudbury, as Mr. Sombre's agent —The Lord Chancellor,
when these petitions were opened, said he thought it quite
unnecessary to discuss them at that time. Ile could nuke
no orders fur the payment of money in the present situation
of Mr. Sombre's affairs. Two physicians had been recently
appointed to inquire into the state of his mind ; their report
would probably be presented in a day or two, and the court
would then hare an opportunity of disposing of all the ques-
tions at issue in connexion with the lunatic's affairs.
THE EARL OF SHiFTESEURT C. THE DCKE OF MAILLRO-
ROCOH.—CONSTRVCTION OP A WILL —LEOACY DUTY.—
This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the
Rolls upon the construction of the will of the third Duke of
Marlborough. By the will certain estates were limited to
trustees for a term of 600 years, on trust to rain 30,0001.,
and apply the same upon the same trusts as were declared as
to 10,000!., part of this sum, by the marriage settlement of
the late Lord Churchill, being trusts fur presiding portions
for the younger children of the marriage. Subject to this
term, the Mates were limited to other trustees fur 1,000
I years, upon trust to raise any sum not exceeding 6,000!.,
which the late Lord Churchill should by his will direct to be
raised. The testator also charged his estates with an annuity
of 1,0001. for Lady Churchill. After giving several legacies
not charged upon the real estate, the will proceeded theta
" And I direct my executors to pay the legacy duty on all
the annuities and legacies hereby given, and the discharges
for the same." The question was, whether under this direc-
tion, the legacy duty payable on'the annuity of 1,000/., and
on the sums of 30,0001., and 6MOOI. were payable out of the
residuary personal estate, oi.ought to be borne by the par-
ties interested in those sing.; The Master of the Rolls had
decided that they should cope out of the residuary estate.—
Mr. Walker and Me. Steveps for the appellants. /dr. Bacon
and Mr. Freelicg for tho,legatees. blr. De Gee for the
trustees. The Lord ChaOellor, after expressing a doubt
during the argument, whether the legacy duty was charge-
able on all these sums, &question which his lordship could
not decide without the Attorney•Oeneral Dein made a
party, said that if the duty did attach, the sums necessary
for the payment of it must be taken as an addition to the
annuities and legacies given by the will, and, therefore, fall-
ing within the strict terms of the clause, which there was
not sufficient.% the will to controul or confine in the manner
contended fur. The appeal must, therefore, be dismissed
with costs.

Before air J. Knight Bruce.
CoOna•• e. BOOOKFA.—SALE TO A RAILWAY COM-
PANY.—This was a petition entitled, in the South-Western
Railway Act and the suit, and it prayed the payment into
eoart of purchase money for land contracted to be sold to
the company. The land formed part of the estate of the
testator in the came, and bad been valued by two surveyors
on behalf of the contracting parties. Mr. De Getc for the
petitioner asked that the petition might be granted without
a reference in the suit upon the subject.—Mr. Smythe for
the company.—The Vice-Chancellor made the order without
a reference.

ASSIZE INTELLIGE NC E.
NORFOLK CIRCIIIT.—Irawien, JULY 29.
Citory Cocky—Before Mr. Baron Al4erro. _ _

IfoNstsuGicrax.—George Barker was indicted for the
manalaughti rof Elizabeth Jager. He was also charged, on
a coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of the same
person. Mr. O'Malley, for the prosecution, stated that the
deceased was a German girl, at the time of her death about
lei 'earn of age, who got her living by going about the
country with a French piano. She was in the service of a
German named Hildebrandt, residing at Norwich, and bad
for the companion of her wanderings an English girl,
named Elizabeth Christian, who played a tambourine.
On the evening of the third of May, the deceased and Eliza-
beth Christian returned from a village near Ipswich, and
went to a public house in that town called the Rainbow,
where they began to play. The prisoner and several other
men were there drinking. After some time the prisoner
began to pull Christian about, and then the deceased also,
who resisted him. He then snatched front her a slick. She
got up to go and he followed her to the house where the
deceased lodged, when she went up to the prisoner and
demanded the stick. The prisoner refused unless she com-
plied with his solicitations. She turned from him and he
rushed forward, got partly before her, and swinging round
the stick with both hands, struck her a blow on the face of
such violence that she was at once felled to the ground, and
he himself precipitated to her aide. The unhappy girl was
at once taken into the house, and surgical aid was procured,
but she died within 20 minutes after the blow wes struck.
After the examination of witnesses, who fully proved the
case for the prosecutien, Mr. Dasent addressed the jury for
the defence, expressing the deep contrition of the prisoner,
and contending that the act of the prisoner had been the
effect of sudden passion.
Mr. Baron Alderson having summed up, the jury returned
a verdict of guilty of Manslaughter. The learned judge,
after indignantly reprobating the brutality of the prisoner,
sentenced him to be transported for twenty years,

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bonattx, THURSDAY.
The commi.PiOn of assize for the county of Cornwall was
opened here this evening, one day later than the time
appointed. The learned judges were delayed by a press of
business at Exeter, and their lordships did not arrive in this
town until after the close of the election, when the excite-
ment which had prevailed throughout the day was begin-
ning to subside. The business of the maize is likely to be
, very light, and it appears that the delay of one
' day will not produce any serious inconvenience The
number of prisoners in the calendar is unusually small for
this county, and with the exception of one case, in which
several men are indicted for a " bread riot," the thaws are
not of a very serious nature. The came list is also coin-
paratively light; but it is probable that the special jury
cues may occupy some time in the trial. Chief Justice
Wilde will preside in the crown court, and Mr. Justice Wil-
liams on the civil side.

POLICE.—Y
ESTERDAY.
MANSION-HOUSE.—ELEcrioNErniso Ildnvemrs:r,
—Joarph John Kelly. who was stated to be an electioneering
agent, was charged with assaulting John Talbot, a cabman,
whom he had employed to convey rotes to the poll at
Guildhall. The cabman stated that, having been engaged
by the defendant on an electioneering canyon during the
day, lie called towards the conclusion of the election, by his
direction, at houses st which Ito took up two voters, who
were to he set dawn of Guildhall. As the hour approached,
he did all he could to get to the place in time, but was ec.
layed by the crowd. The defendant, who was excited by

drink, wanted to tats the Mao in his own bandit and drive
over the crowd; imid, when this wee objected to, he broke
the eabman'e eh OM Mss and acted with much
violence, salt Ogden intrage. The defendant de-
clared he bad tilos ithestionally delayed. He em-
ployed the =tam by the authority of lir. Muter-
man's committee to gy wood for voters. He thessgist proper
not only to delay es tbo tood, bat to jeer at Um; end ss foes
o'clock was fast arISIOSMIW, be became mach e:::.„d and
irritated; and he tolibliti he diet- llte. ine whip in his anger,
which he was unable. Wet Such eircumstanocs, to control,
for four o'clock street walls they were in the street, and the
two Intel were raw Mr. Humphreys stated that the
thrv,ets used by the defendant against the cabman were
quite alarming, and if it bad not been for the police the
worst mischief might have taken place. The defendant was
drunk. Alderman Gibbs fined him fire shillings fur being
drunk, and said he must also pay six shillings and sixpeuce
as the damage done to the whip.
GUILDHALL. ELECTION FARING SQVAA TILE.
Wilkinson appeared to answer a charge of assault preferred
against him by Mr. Childs, the surgeon of the City police
force.—Mr. Childs and that he was a member of the comer-
retire committee of Cripplegate-ward-w ithout, and was re-
quested by the chairman of the committee to assist in check-
iag the votes at the Milton-street booth. While he was
dung that duty he observed an elector come up to the poll
clerk, and who hesitated as to the persons for whom he
would vote; upon which the satenor inquired if he would
vote for the four liberal candidates, repeating their
names, and saying nothing about the other tour. Upon
this Mr. Wilkinsm objected to complainant being ,
permitted to impute misconduct to him. Alderman !
Hughes said he had a right to hear it, as hailing to
the assault, and wished to know what language
Mr. Wilkinson had made rise of. —Mr. Childs re-
plied, that defendant said to a party whom he did
not know, "Do you intend to et te for Russell, Rothschild,
Lsrpent, and Pattison ?" or words to that effect. Witness
said to Mr. Wilkinson, That is not fair." Defendant
replied, " Who sue you, sir ?" Witness told him his name.
Mr. Read, who was checking for the liberal candidates,
immediately cam. up and said he (witness) was no elector,
and therefore had no business where he was. Mr. Wilkin-
son, in a most imperious manner, ordered him to quit the
hustings. Witness declined doing so, when he (defendant)
replied, " We'll see whether you sill or cot" and rushing on
him, seised him by the collar and the aria, and walked him
off the hustings. That was the assault he complained of.
—Mr. 'Wilkinson denied being guilty of putting the four
names only, and could bring Amu saes to prove that he did
not.—Alderman Hughes said he would send the ease to the
sessions. It was of too much importance to the public touch-
ing the mode in which elections should be conducted to be
decided by him summarily. He, therefore, should bind the
defendant over to answer the charge! at the next sessions.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVEXING.

A change came over the funds to-day. Until
about one o'clock the market was calm and inactive,
at the quotations last marked yesterday. Consols,
881 to ; money and 901 to 1 for account. The ap-
pearance of sellers at that hour made the market
heavy, and it became more depressed by the sale of
100,0001. for account, at 89,0 n which prices fell to 881
for account, leaving off 881 to 9, and for money at 881
to Money was much in demand in the house,
and not readily obtainable at less than 6 per
cent., even on Consols. After the large operation re-
ferred to, which was looked upon at the moment as
but the precursor of further speculative movements,
affairs relapsed into their former quietness. Reduced
Threes were 89 to 1; Three-and-a-Quarter per Centel.,
90 to .1 ; Exchequer Bills, Ba. to 11s. premium ;
Long Annuities, 9 1-1 G to 1; Bank Stock, 196 to 8.
The settlement of account was the chief business in
the foreign house. It could not be other than a light
affair, seeing how few and inconsiderable had been
the transactions from day to day since the last settle-
ment. Some dealings in Dutch slightly improved the
quotations; the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 371 to
; the Fours, to 901 to 1. Four.and-a-Half per
Cent. Belgian, 93 to 3. Spanish Fives were called
211 to ' ; the Threes, 31 to 1. Portuguese, 301 to
1,1. Mexican, 19 to 1. Brazilian, 84 to 5.
Foreign exchange was done at nearly the same
rates as last post day on most of the continental
matey malts, but rather higher on Hamburg and
Frankfort. The negotiations were—on Amsterdam,
12.41 to 5: on Rotterdam, 12.41 to .5; on Antwerp,
25.70 to 75; on Hamburg, 13.111 to 121; on Frank-
fort,
121 to ! ; on Paris, 25.6.5 to 70 ; on Vienna, 10
to 10.1 ;on Jghorn, 30 321 to 371; on Naples, 40,1;
on Madrid, to I—all at three months. On Lis-
bon, at 60 days, 533'.

ing the 24th instant give, as compared with the week
preceding, the following results :

The reserve of notes in the banking department
amounted to 4,216,445/., showing an increase over the
week before of 147,8401.
The reduction in the active circulation, or notes out
among the public, in the face of the withdrawal of
public and private deposits to a much larger amount,
is explained by the falling off in other securities for
a larger sum still. This would seem to show, not
only that repayments of loans were still being made
in the week in question, and the sums so received not
laid out again, but also that the Lank was becoming
more chary of its discounts. It was still acting
'on the policy commenced the week before. The
I decline of public deposits is too inconsiderable':
to deserve notice, as readily assignable to so
much remand of the dividends payable, or, it
might be, to remittances to Ireland. But the
withdrawal of private deposits for so weighty an
amount, at a period so close after the dividends, when
usually so much received on that score is again lodged
in deposit, would appear significant of the fact of
money being drawn out for investment in railway
loans, or for answering railway calls. There can be
no question that some remittances of gold were going
forward to the continent and the United States also,
although to but an inconsiderable extent so far as the
one week. The drain becomes of some consequence,
however, when taken conjunctively with that of 1,
former weeks.
_ _ .

The Banker's 21.10fia:ine for the forthcoming month
has an article on " Monetary Intelligence " and
" Future Prospects," from 'which the following ex-
tracts are taken :

The general summary therefore is this:—that the cala-
mity of the deficient harvest, and the failing potato crop,
has compelled our population to purchase foreign corn by
denying themselves no inenvider.ible portion of the home
products, which, under other circumstances, they could
have consumed, and that the desperate evils which must
have attended so severe a period of privation have been
mitigated by the expenditure of 33 millions in railways. If,
for the sake of illustration, we suppose the railways to be so
worthless u the generality of the recent "public works" in
Ireland, it will the better enable us to perceive that the
outlay of the eight millions of the Irish Loan, and of our
own 33 millions, have been furnished from the same source,
and have subserved the lame end. In Ireland, the govern-
ment undertook an expenditure of precious capital on un-
productive public works, as • means of employing
and feeding the people. In England, the proprietors
of railways have undertaken • like expenditure on like
objects {except that at some future time the works will
yield a revenue), and although thty considered tin it own
and not the public advantage in their proceedings, it has
providentially happened that temporarily at least the two
have been identical. Our prodigious accumulation of
therefne, has carried us over one of the moat
awful calamities which ever befel these islands with a com-
paratively small 'meant of suffering. Instead of encoun-
tering a most violent disturbance in all the channels of
our trade and industry, and finding our Poor Law ex•
penditure increased beyond even the example of 1840.1,
we have drawn upon our resources of capital for a
gigantic prosecution of a species of public works, tutelar
at present, but possessing the elements of ultimate value.
In a word, the railway calls have answered the end
of what must otherwise have been a Poor-rate Metes-
meet, and besides saving us from the demoralisation I
of • prevalent pauperism, they have left a prospective'
equivalent. So far then there is perhaps, upon a fair',
balance of inconveniences, not much to regret. But
even the wealth of England has • limit, and it ha; now'.
become an urgent question whether we have net already
reached the boundary which separates a safe from an unsafe
reliance on this source of help. It must be remembered that
to the extent of 40 millions we have been consuming cur
capital. For this we have obtained no exchangeable return.
Nor have we any surplus. Our granaries arc swept clean ;
our stocks of raw materiels have been rarely so small ; and a
very large part of our population are poorer by a twelve.
month's deprivation of their ordinary supplies of clothing
and commodities. Vtry plain evidences also arc not wanting
that even the mine of capital we have so dilligently worked
begins to fail in the abundance and readiness of its return.
The rate of interest is higher than it has been for many
years, and it is not very likely to undergo • reduction.
