ATTORNEY-ORITIii;L 1/.TMI TRONMONORRS' COMPANY.
—ALLOWANCE (Jr RELATOR'S EXPENSES.—The Muter of
the lolls expressed his disapprobation of the course which
had been adopted by the solicitors of the relator, in pub-
lishing advertisements-and circulating printed questions.
But he thought they had acted bona tide, though erroneously,
and that toe information thus procured had been of use.
He wished to know what was the amount which the peti-
tioner claimed ?—And the case stood over for the purpose of
supplying this information.
IN RE H ARIL—TAXATION OF SOLICITOR'SBILL OP COSTS.
—Mr. Hare had acted as the solicitor of three brothers, John,
Joseph, and William Coo, in respect of certain partnership
business, and also for William Cox, in respect of his private
affairs, and he seat in hia bill of costa to the three, contain-
ing not only charges for the partnership business, but also
for the separate business of William Cox, and he brought on
action against the three brothers for the whole amount of hie
bill, alleging that he did the business for William, on the
retainer of the three. William Cox authorised Mr. Hare to
enter as appearance for him to the action, and judg-
ment was obtained against him by default. Upon
this John and Joseph Cox now presented a petition to
tax the bill of ewes ; they disputed the retainer as to the
business done for William Cox, but admitted their liability
to pay for the business Pone for the partnership.—Messrs.
Kindereley and Hitchcock appeared for the petitioners.—
Mr. 8. Smith, for Mr. Hare, objected that theridgment ob-
tained against William Cox was equal to a verdict against the
others, and precluded the taxation of the hill, and that two
out of the three could not petition to tax the Lill, as they did
not admit themselves liable to pay the whole of it.
The Master of the Rolls thought that the bill was taxable,
and that the judgment against William did not preclude the
right to tax. The toaster was competent to decide the ques-
tion of retainer, and there was nothing to make it necessary
to have it tried at law. William Cox ought to be
served with the petition, and, if the solicitor wished it, the
petitioners must confess judgment in the action at law
without prejudice to the question of retainer and right to
taxation.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

THE QUERN V. THit SOUTH.EASTIRN RAILWAY COM-
PANV.—RIOHT OF A RAILWAY COMPANY TO REPOSE ITS
CRRTIPICATR OP APPROVAL TO ♦N ENGINE WHICH A
STRANORR PROPOSES TO RUN ON ITS LlNE.—This was
special case that raisel the question of the aufficieney of a
writ of mandamus to the S-uth-Eastern Railway, command-
ing them to give their certificate of approval to a certain en-
gine which the prosecutor proposed to use on their line for
drawing carriages. The writ was founded on a section in
the act of the company which enabled the owner of any
engine who might be desirous of using it on the line of the
company to send a notice to that effect and of the place
where the engine might be seen. The company is cora-
manded thereupon t rend its engineer to inspect the engine;
the engineer is to report thereon ; and, in the event of the
report being such as the directors approve of, they are to
give the owner • certificate of approval, idler which it
may be run on the line. The acme section gives the com
pany the abolute control of the line. In this case the
prosecutor had done all that the statute prescribed. The
company, however, had done nothing at all. There was,
therefore, no report, and no approval; and ,he writ pro.
ceeded on the allegation that the engine was a fit one in all
respects, and that the company, nevertheless, refused the
certificate.—Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q. C., was now heard
in support of the writ. —The court, without hearing Mr.
Peacock, who was on the other side, expressed an unequi-
vocal opinion that a case calling for the writ had not been
made out. The certificate could not be given, except on a
report made by the engineer; and of the fact that such a
report had been made there was no averment. It did not
appear, however, that the company would have been bound
to grant tie certificate, even though a favourable report had
been made, for it had the absolute control of the line, and,
for the security of the public, and to prevent ac,idents,
might think proper to refuse it. An improper refusal to
allow the engineer to inspect, might perhaps be a ground for
a writ of mandamus, but this case was put on the efficiency
of the engine. At all events, this wnt was too lax, and
must, therefore, be quathed.—Judgment for the defendants.

The Gazette of Cologne publishes some further details
respecting the meeting of the committee of directors of the
bank of Prussia, which took place at Berlin on the 15th of
this month. It appears from the statement which was pre-
sented on the situation of the bank, that its capital is com-
posed of nine million dollars lent to the Mont de pleb,; of
two millions of dollars lent on deposits of railway shares ;
and nine millions of dollars in money in bullion, besides
what isat London, employed in discounting. Besides the
resolution which we have mentioned, relative to the exten-
sion to be given to loans on railway shares, it was decided
that the discount shall remain at 41 per cent.

The Madrid mail of the 19th inst. was received in
Paris on Monday evening. The chief matter of in-
terest was a speech of M. Isturitz on the Spanish mar-
riages, in answer to the Marquis de Miraflores ; hut
ox the same evening, at a later hour, an extraordinary
express was received by the government, bringing
adviees from Madrid to the 21st, including the im-
portant intelligence that the ministry had resigned.
The result of the election for the presidency of
the representative chamber gave M. Castro y Orozco
111 votes against 93, attained by the ministerial candi-
date M. Bravo Murillo. Upon this the ministry im-
mediately resigned. The Queen entrusted the for-
mation of a new cabinet to the Duke de Sotomavor,
who offend the ministry of justice to M. Bravo Mu-
rillo, and endeavoured to induce M. Mon to retain
that of flaasee; the latter, however, having refused,
the combination failed. The Queen then sent for
M. Mon, and endeavoured to induce him to accept.
MM. Artera, Generals Pavia and Sotello were men-
tioned as likely to form part of the Lew cabinet.
It is known that M. Sotomavor, as well as Bravo
Murillo, belong to the Moderadio party.
The Eco del Comerrio states that alarming accounts
of Carlist movements have arrived from Navarre and
Lerida. In the latter province these insurgents had
occupied the town of Andorra.

estates up to the year 1830, having been appointed
consignee by the court since the year 1819. The accounts
of Mr. Ellice have been passed end re-passed, but George
Morison Wyllie, the present petitioner, conceiving such
accounts to be incorrect, applied to have them re-opened,
on the ground that he had not been present at their
former taking. This petition was granted by the Vice-
Chancellor, and Mr. Ellice, in consequence, brought the
present appeal.—Mr. Tinney, Mr. Romilly, and Mr. Brett
this day continued their argument in support of the appeal,
and contendel that Mr. Wyllie could not be heard, as he
was in contempt for nou.payment of coats in • similar peti-
tion. It was also too late new to question the accounts, as
they had been fully investigated, and no objection hitherto
urged against them by the petitioner, although he had NB
cognizance of them. Moreover, the assignees of Mr. Wjllie's
lather were the only perems who had any interest in them.
Mr. Itolt, in support of the order of the court below, insisted
that the objection respecting the contempt ought to have
been reasod by motion, and not at thu late stage of the
proceedings, and after the appellant had filed affidavits I.

of M. Charles Dupin upon it wax read on Tuesday.
The law will be passed with all practicable speed.
The Chamber of Deputies received the project of the
address from the committee in public session on Tue.-
day, when the debate upon it commenced.
The quantity of corn and flour imported into
France between the let and 15th Jan. was 250,000
hem. The quantity remaining in store on the 15th
was 200,000 beet. Between the 15th and 20th, there
arrived in Marseilles from the porta of the Black Sea
and the Mediterranean, 250,000 hect.
In the department of the Indre comparative tran-
quillity continues to be maintained • but in several
other departments hitherto undisturbed ectneutes have
broken out. Grain has risen to a formidable price,
especially in Sous-le-Saulnier and Angouleme. In
the former place it has attained the price of 46f. per
hect., being at the rate of 101 eh. per quarter.

The ambassadors of Austria and Prussia and the

chargi-d'affaires of Russia had a long conference
with M. Guizot at the Hotel des Affaires Etrawqres
on Monday, the subject of which was understood to
be the paragraph of the Royal speech which adverted
to Cracow.
It is stated in the aeninerce that the last accounts
from Algiers, of the 20th inst., are far from satisfac-
tory. The French troops had been forced to fight
two sanguinary battles, one against Bou Masa, and
the other at Bangia, against a faction of the Mersias.
Le Sieiele says that the northern powers have
menaced the French government that if it does not
submit silently to their decisions in regard to Poland,
they will make disclosures which may compromise it.

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The public securities have varied in price in but a
very trifling degree from the quotations of yesterday. There
was little business doing, a proof that the excitement lately
witnessed is in some measure subsiding, but the msekets
were, upon the whole, characterised by increased firmr.ess.
The government broker purchased 10,3001. Three per Cent.
Reduced stock for Account of the commissioners for the re-
duction of the national debt, and 4,0001. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. for account of the savings banks. The
idea seemed to be, towards the close of the day's
business, that the public feeling was such as to warrant the
expectation that matters would be found to mend in a short
time, to as extent not contemplated on Thursday last, when
the Bank increased their rate of interest. The fall which
has occurred in the prices of various articles of consumption
is not overlooked as a circumstance favourable to the stock
markets. Cotton and corn have both given way, and the
forei,gri exchanges are beginning to yield to the
measures of the Bank, whence it is assumed, and

WALES.

A CASE Or DEATH ow THE MOVIATAINS near Rhym-
ney Iron Work', is recorded in the Welsh papers. A person
named John Richards, a collier, residing at Bedwelty, Mon-
mouthshire, had to go to Caven-coedycymer, near Merthyr
Tydvil, on Saturday, to procure advice for his wife, who was
exceedingly ill. On his return home, the weather being
foggy and dark, he loot his way by coming over the
mountain, which ended in the loss of his life. His
Comity took no particular notice of his absence till Sun-
day evening, when they became very uneasy about him;
they thought that he remained over the previous night with
some acquaintances at Merthyr. However, search was made
for him on Monday all day, but to no effect. On Tuesday
all the collieries in the immediate neighbourhood suspended
work, and the men united together to the number of from
700 to 800, in order to make a more strict and active search
after him. Nearly opposite Penybank they found him lying
on the ground, with his hand as if he had been putting ft in
his pocket. There was Is. 6d. by his side on the ground,
and 9s. in his trousers pocket. The medieine bottle was in
his waistcoat pocket; his hat was at a little distance from
him. He seemed to have been dead since the previa*
Saturday night. He was carried home by the multitude,
and was interred on the Thursday following at Salem, where
he had been a member. He was a very sober and indus-
trious person. He has left a widow and five children to Je-
plore kis lose. An inquest was held on view of the body,
when a verdict of " Accidental death " was returned.

This market has become quite unsettled, and where raleP
are effs eted, whether of cloth or yarn, lower, irregu.'or,
and unquotable rates arc submitted to. Yet, where ptrti,w
are in a position to hold, they have preferred to do so, as,
although confidence as to the future is, to a great extent,
broken down, they think it wiser to wait till the market is
store settled, rather than seek sales for the present; and
herein, no doubt, they act with discretion. The commercial
news from India is not of a complexion greatly different
from the last. Perhaps, upon the whole, a little mere
favourable. The Liverpool Cotton market has remained in
the same dull and inanimate state as we described on Satur-
day, but we cannot exhibit any further quotable decline in

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o' Clock.
Accounts reached town this morning announcing
the decease of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His
excellency continued to sink rapidly throughout Sun-
day, and being aware of his approaching end sum-
moned the members of his family around him, at ten
o'clock p.m., and severally took leave of them. His
lordship continued in the full possession of his senses
to the moment of his decease, which took place at
eleven o'clock. The melancholy event was announced
in the following letter to the Lord Mayor of Dublin :
Dublin Castle, half-past Eleven, P.m., May 16, 1847.
My Lord,—lt becomes my painful duty to inform you that
his Excellency the Earl of Betaborough departed this life at
the hour of eleven o'clock, p.m., at the Castle of Dublin.
I have the honour to be, my lord, your obedient servant,
T. N. REDINOTON.

The Right Ma. the Lord Mayor.
The Wght Hon. John William Poesonby, Earl of
Bessborough, and Viscount Duncannon in the peerage
of Ireland. and Baron Ponsonby, of Sysonby, in the
peerage of Great Britain, Vice-Admiral of the pro-
vince of Munster, Lord Lieutenant and Castes Rota-
locum of the county of Kilkenny. and Lord Lieutenant
General and General Governor of Ireland, was born on
the 31st Aug., 1781, and was consequently, at the time
of his decease, in the 66th year of his age. He suc-
ceeded to the honours of his house on the decease of
his father, Frederick, third Earl of Bessborough, in
1844. Lord Bessborough married, in 1803, Maria,
third daughter of John, Earl of Westmoreland, by
whom he leaves issue surviving him five sons and six
daughters, the eldest of whom, John George Brabazon,
Viscount Duncannon, M.P. for Derby, becomes fifth
Earl of Beseborough, and succeeds to the ex-
tensive estates of his father, lying principally
in the counties of Kilkenny and Carlow. The
deceased Earl of Bessborough was, throughout
life, a tried and consistent liberal. Shortly after
the accession of Lord Grey to power, he became
connected with the reform ministry, and was ap-
pointed to the office of Chief Commissioner of Woods
and Forests, which he filled till the elevation of Lord
Melbourne to the premiership, when ho was called
upon to assume the duties of the Home-office,
which he discharged till the dissolution of the
whit; administration and the formation of the Peel
ministry. On the return of the whigs to power, Lord
Beesborongh was again appointed to the -Woods and
Forests, with a seat in the cabinet, in which office he
continued till the second accession of Sir Robert Peel.
On the retirement of the conservative government
in 1846, and the formation of bed John Russell's
administration the Earl of Bessborough was appointed
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the arduous responsibilities
of which high trust he continued to diechargo up to
the time of his decease, in a manner to win the ap-
proval of all political parties, and endear his memory
to the Irish people.

THE TRIAL OF M. TESTE.
COURT OF PEERS, TUESDAY, JULY 13.—At the
titling of the court to-day, the documents, consisting of the
roe,: rerlielf, &e. prepared last evening by the autho-
rities of the police in the prison of the Luxemburg, the
wee of the attempted suicide by M. Teste, were read. The
sathe depositions commissars. of police of the Luxembourg,
d taken by him, proved the attempt made
by g. Teste to commit suicide, and the results of the search
wide in his chamber to recover the caps ; the balls and
the pistols were stated. The commissary declared that
In found M. Teste perfectly calm ; that he (M. Testa) con-
hoed that he had attempted to commit suicide because he
bold honour more dear than life. He declared that he would
am tame the person who had supplied him with the pistols ;
that it was not his son ; but that if it were he would
mud it as an act of filial piety. The declaration of the
physician, that of the officers of the prison, and that of those
who had first run to the Chamber on the report being
bard, creed • in proving
°that M. Teste was calm and
ars, that his physiognomy indicated no agitation, and that
his pulse was not increased.
A letter was then read, addressed by M. Testa to the
chancellor, to the effect that he would refuse to present him-
self in the court to-day. The incidents, said he, which have
occurred in the court yesterday, leave no room for contradie-
boo. So far as regards me the debate is aimed ; my presence
is useless ; the court will not wish to constrain me, nor to
triumph by force over a resistance which would be desperate.
An officer was then sent to summon hint to attend the
Kart He refused, however, protesting, at the mune time,
his respect for the court, and declaring that, in the face of
the evidence of the only act of meekness with which he had
to reproach himself in his whole prefeasional life, andt
which he must expiates* cruelly, his attendance in the coure
would be uselem. The Chancellor then ordered that thf
trial shoald proceed, notwithstanding the absence o
H. Trite.
U. Delangle urced the accusation, and demanded the con-
demnation of all the accused. His observations did not oc-
cupy ten minutes.—M. Baroche spoke in defence of General
Cubikes. He endeavoured to throw all the responsibility
of the attempts at corruption upon M NI. Parmentier and
Dehout spoke a few words en the part of
M. Trete. the object of which was to protest against the
eatty which mixed up in this sole act of weakness the
name of an innocent son, who was ignorant of the whole
vereedine. The advocate terminated in adjuring the court
to lean towards mercy.—M. Benoit spoke for M. Parmen-
tier, whom he sought to justify without throwing blame on
the ether parties accused, except, perhaps, M. Pellagra.
At the time our reporter left, the sentence of the court
bad not been pronounced, but it was expected in the course
of the evening.

CLERICAL ENCOURAGEMENT TO EDUCATION.—A core-
spondent of the Carnarron and Denbigh Herald callt atten-
ton to a proceeding on the part of a el( rgymaa which is
little in accordance with the educational spine of the time.
For the het forty years the parish church of Llanrhychwyn,
iu Carnargonshire, which is said to be but little u5..11 as a
place of worship, has been employed as a Sunday school; but
a recent ingtnry having been instituted by the Her. John
Jones, rectorof Llanfachraeth, it w.ts admitted that though
the school was commenced and ended each Sunday with a
prayer, the church catechism was not taught ; upon which
the churchwardens were strictly commanded for the future
not to allow the church to be used as a place in which to
keep a Sunday school. The writer observe.—" Thus, in June,
in the year of grace 1847, was a priestly extinguisher put
upoa a Sunday school that had existed for forty years."

Viscount MORPRTH said he could not state this dis-

.ayed much longer beyond that period.
Mr. R. YORKE said, that, understanding the same diffi-

ment, he should take an early opportunity to submit a mo-
tion on the subject.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBOROH, JrLY 13.
A great sanitary fact is at present being exemplified
in Glasgow. While fever rages around, the prisons,
containing about six hundred inmates, have not one
fever patient. This is at once a reward to the friends
of prison discipline, and an encouragement to those
of sanitary advancement. In Edinburgh, there is
still a want of bold effort in dealing with the epi-
demic. For instance, at the parochial meeting there,
it was stated that ten women could be accommodated

at the House of Refuge, and that numbers of con-
valescent females were ordered to be removed from
the infirmary—but will small measures like this stay
the plague? In Greyfriars' Churchyard the tariff has
been raised, and soldiers, paupers, and all beyond the
royalty, refused sepulture. If the inhabitants are
therefore annoyed by further interments, they will
have this consolation, that the ground has been well
paid fur, and that the bodies are those of persons who
" lived within the burgh."
Following the example of Edinburgh, Glasgow is
doing honour to the Scotch political martyrs, a monu-
ment having been erected to the memory of Baird
and Hardy to one of the new cemeteries.
