ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE.

The conference met again yesterday at the West-
minster Palace HoteL Some time was occupied in discos-
ing the subject of accommodation bills introduced by Mr.
Lupton, of Use Leeds chamber, who rspeaaantad that the
practice of circulating accommodation bills having become
so common, it was desirable that if possible some means
should be devised of imposing difficulties in the way of
their negotiation, or some regulations formed that would
show their true character to all rein them under
pain of punishment to the issuers in cue of ptcy or
insolvency. The plan proposed was to forbid and make
penal the negotiation of any instrument of exchange
having the words " vane received," or "value in amount,"
or their equivalents, unless value had jpared for such bill
between drawer and drawee, or value for such amount was
at the drawing of the bill owing to the drawer. A resolu-
tion approving of the main features of this plan was sub-
mitted to the association, and • discussion followed which,
on the whole, was not favourable to the scheme, the
general opinion being that it would hamper the open
none of commerce, and that the evil complained of
would be partly met by the action already taken
by the conference in reference to the question of bank-
ruptcy reform. The wish of the meeting being so strong,
the question was referred to the standing committee. A
discussion took place sa to the impracticability of some of
the new county court arrangements, and • reso-
lution was passed calling the attention of the judges the
rules about to be made by the county court judges com-
mittee. A cordial vote of thanks was passed to presi-
dent of the chamber, and the conference broke up to at-
tend the deputations that bad been arranged. The Ant
deputation went to the Board of Trade at Whitehall to
present to the Duke of Richmond the resolutions and
memorials that had been adopted respecting commenial
matters. The Duke of Richmond sent out three separate
and anxious messages requesting that reporters should not
accompany the deputation, and the dozen representatives
of the press who had attended withdrew.
Another deputation waited upon Lord Robert Montagu
Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education
(the Duke of Marlborough being absent from town), to
present the memorial agreed upon the day before respect-
ing technical education. The president of the association
was introduced by the hon. member for Leeds, who stated
that there were 39 chambers in the association, that this
conference was the most important meeting they bad ever
held, and that the vote upon the siabjeet in question was
unanimous.

Mr. MUNDELLA, president of the Nottingham chamber,
having introduced the subject,
Lord ROBIIIII Morrraoti sieured them it was of great
assistance for the government to find the question wee
so supported, and that they might reckon upon the sup-
port of the associated chambers of commerce in the coun-
try. He need hardly say that be attached as much im-
portance to the subject as Mr. Mundell& did, and that the
government had for • long time bad it under their conside-
ration, and had awed neither pains nor labour upon it.
He was quite of opinion that it would be a great thing to
use technical education not only to enable our workmen to
equal if not surpass other nations in the race of
commerce, but also as • sort of reward to
induce boys who were at other schools to remain
there longer than they otherwise would, that they might
ultimately rise into • higher technical school At South
Kensington there was • buds to work upon which might
no doubt be expanded with advantage. Within the last
few yeas* that institution had increased most rapidly.
Ten years ago there were no science schools, now they had
increased to an immense number, showing that if our
working people had the advantage given to them the
would not be slow in availing themselves of it. With
regard to art, the fact was that the reports of the pre-
vious French Exhibition declared that in emesequence of
oar art rebook we had made such enormous strides that we
had actually passed them in the matter of design. We
had the means of surpassing other nations, and we had the
basis whereupon to work, if we only could make up our
minds to carry out some system. He still thought there
would be considerable disadvantages in sending • roving
commission abroad but another course had bean adopted;
through the Foreign-office communications had been
made to the secretaries of legation abroad, asking for
reports on technical education as pursued in the countries
where
they lived, and also for any pamphlets bearing on
the question. He had been working at one of the de-
spatches during the morning, and others were coining in
radly. As soon as was practicable the answers would be
gabled. Besides this, Mr. Samuelson, M.P. for Ban-
bury, volunteered to go abroad and look into the ques-
tion for himself, and he had embodied the result& in a
very voluminous letter, which had been moved for in the
House of Commons, and which he hoped would soon be
in print. Professor Leone Levi had further been employed by
the government to writes report uponthe same enbject,and
that also had been sent in ready for printing. This showed
that the government were most anxious in their considera-
tion of the subject, and he might add that they had gone
so far as to consider • scheme, the particulars of which he
would be expected to enter into. All he could say was
that the government had given their most anxious atten-
tion to the subject, and he hoped before long they would
have the pleasure of seeing a meet efficient scheme carried
out. (Cheers.)
Mr. Forlorn, M.P., said he was very glad to And that
the replies from the secretaries of legation were so soon to
be printed, and he hoped it would not be later than Feb-
ruary, so that the public might have the matter before
them. He sincerely hord the government would not
think of relying upon technical education without a solid
superstructure, nut merely of elementary, but secondary
teaching. Without this, more harm than good would be
done. He further suggested that, important as was the
question of, technical education, it was only a part of the
general system of education that required so much
strengthening and amendment in the country. (Cheers.)
Lord R. Illonnori said the publication of the reports
belonged to the Foreign Department, but he bad every
reason to believe they would be published in the spring.
The deputation thanked Lord Robert for his courtesy
and withdrew.
Later in the day the deputation waited upon the At-
torney-General in the Exchequer Chamber to present a
memorial on bankruptcy reform.
The Panumair narrated the course taken by the con-
ference, and
The Arrozutty-Gormux said be would give the repre-
sentations made his best consideration, and that he was
about to announce in the House of Commons that the
government intended to bring in a bill that would ensure
some of the desired results.

The conference adjourned with a vote of thanks to the
president.

BUTCHERS AND SALESMEN.—Yeeterdayafternoon
a numerous deputation of butchers and salesmen, carrying
on business in London and its neighbourhood, waited ou
Lord Robert Montagu, 11. P., Vice-President of the
Council, at the office in Downing-street, to protest against
" the arbitrary and unjust restrictions that would be
inflicted on the trade by the adoption of the propose! to
compel all foreign cattle imported into London to be
slaughtered in abattoirs adjoining the market ;" and also to
show that the establishment of • separate market for the
Pale of foreign cattle would be inconvenient, would de-
crease competition, tend to diminish the importation of
cattle, and increase the price of meat." The noble lord,
after listening with great patience to all the arguments,
said that the government was very anxious to deal with
the whole matter in a way that would conduce to the
public convenience. That would be their guide in any
00021,3 they might hereafter consider advisable to adopt.
He could not at that time give them further information
on the point.
A IS KW THAMES TUNNEL. —AR important
engineering project, which has excited but little public
attention, and for which the necessary parliamentary
sanction has not yet been obtained, is already in process
of execution, namely, the tunnel or subway intended to
bo driven under the Thames between London-bridge end
the Tower. This work is the third mode of oommunica-
tion below London-bridge which has been brought forward
by the same company. The tint project,. for which appli-
cation was made to parli onent in 18113, was • bridge
below the Tower, which was opposed by the Conservators
of the Thames. The next was by a subway immediately
above the Tower, which was, in its turn, opposed by the
Tower authorities, on account of the position of the shaft
on the north aide of the river, the approach to which
would have interfered with the traffic by the Tower-etairs.
The present project has the sanction of the Tower autho-
rities, and arrangements forthe small portios, of lend on
the Surrey side necessary for the approach have been
already made. The new tunnel project presents, in some
respects, • curious contrast with Bruners great work at
Wapping, which occupied nearly twenty years in its exe-
cution. The existing timnel, now the property of the East
Loudon Railway Company, is about 1,2:4t feet between the
shafts ; the proposed subway will be about 1,320 feet ; the
one cost above 4.30,000/.. the other is estimated to cost the
comparative tries of 16,0001. Dividend was utterly hope-
less in the one case ; in the other, with only the same
traffic receipts as those of the old Tunnel •
dividend of 20 per cent, upon the capital is calcu-
lated on. If the estimate be not exceeded it is possible
that, with moderate tolls, the traffic receipt will be much
greater. Mr. Peter Barlow, F.R.S., who is the engineer
of this project, proposes that the descent and ascent to
the tunnel shall be by hydraulic lifts similar to those in
use In the large new hotels, and that the passengers shall
be conveyed from one shaft to the other in light steel
omnibuses of perfect workmanship, and driven by man
power upon a system of accumulating fora. The friction
will, it is expected, be so much reduced by the exacti-
tude of the fittings and the excellence of the materials
and workniansbip employed as to make the power of one
man amply =Admit for working an enmities. The
bottoms of the shafts will be ea the UMW level, and the
subway will dip in the centre to give speed, sad to accu-
mulate force for the tut half of the journey. Mr. Barlow
recommends his scheme as applicable to the relief of the
crowded streets.

TSB OAKS EXPLOSION.-INTERSZTINO
EVIDENCE.

Yesterday, the adjourned inquiry into the deaths
of the 316 volunteers and miners who perished by the
sad catastrophe of Deoember last, was resumed before
Mr. Thos. Taylor, coroner. Among the witnesses called
was Samuel Brown, of Barnsley, miner, the man who wan
reamed, after the second explosion, who said—l went down
at 4 or 3 o'clock on the morning of the 13th of December.
I wait down of my own accord. I got • lamp at the top.
When I got to the bottom I saw David Tewart, and
saw six or seven other men. I went with them down
the engine plane. I saw Sugden down at the bottom
end of the engine plane. Ile was directing the men
the light road to the stone drift. We met some men
with • dead body, and they informed us where to find
another, which we found, and took to the bottom. We
started back again, and got 100 yards below the bottom of
the steps, and there we met the men running back, saying
they had come across some foul air. We at once returned
back again to the pit bottom, and told Tewart what had
taken place. I then went into the boxhole, but there was
no person there. Afterwards, Bogdan, John James, Alfred
Neyland, Tewart, Mr. !into, Thomas Limbert, sad others,
also came into the boxhole. Mr. Minto and Sugden had
some conversation, but what about I don't know. We sat
down, and Barber, myself, Bogdan, and Alfred Neyland
had some meat and bread and tea. Tewart was at the fore
end of the lamp cabin, writing. Mr. Minto and Limhert
went out of the boxhole together. A man named Dyson
took out some lamps, and after that the explosion took
place. I then remember nothing until the following morn-
ing. I was left in • state of insensibility. Ths first that I
remember I thought I was in bed, sad than I diamereired
that I was in the pit ; and thought I bad been asleep,
and the others had left me. It was quite dark where I
was, but I could see • light outside the boxhole; it was
fire. I went out of the haiku's with the intention of get.
tiog hold of the signal wire. I came across two bodies, but
I could not see whom they were. When I got out I saw •
fire on the top of the costae plane. There was • chamber
near the No. 2 shaft, and it had fallen, and it and the
wires were burning, I could see the signal wire in No.
1 shaft, but could not reach it; in endeavouring to
do so, I nearly fell into the sump. I then went and
sat down again, and then I remembered there was
another shaft, and I went to No. 2 shaft and pulled the
wire. I could hear the sound of a voice from the top, but
I could not tell what was said. I had to wait, accord-
ing to what they told me, about three hours, but it
me about a week. I was brought out by Mr.
appeared
to n
and Mr. Mainmast. I knew one of them, but not
both. I did not see Mr. Jetfoook, or Mr. Smith, or Sed-
don that 1 am aware of. The two first men I did not
know. I don't remember any alarm about the explosion,
By the Foreman--I stopped in the pit on my own amount.
I was not prevented from owning out. I thought that
Tewart and Roylan were more learned in mining matters
that I was, and that if they dare remain I thought I dare.
Some further evidence having been given, the jury found
the following verdict :—" That John James Daniel Tewart
and others came to their death by an explosion of fire-
damp in the OW Pit, on the 13th day of December, 1866,
while nobly endeavouring to recover the bodies of the men
killed in the first explosion. As to the cause of the second
explosion we have no evidence to prove. The jury recom-
mend that in future axplosions, alter it had been ascer-
tained that there is no probability of anybody being alive,
the number of explorers should be limited, and go in
relays."

PRESENTATION OF A PASTORAL STAFF TO THE
lIIEHOP OF ROCIIIOII2II.—The Rev. Dr. Claughton, Bishop
of Rochester, was presented with a pastoral staff at Kid-
derminster 011 Tuesday. Along with the staff were pre-
rented a bible and an address. Dr. Claughton, in acknow-
ledging the gift, said he had always kept in mind the im-
portant duties of a pastor in the Church of God, and he
should always endeavour to bear in remembrance the duty
that devolved upon him of feedingthe lambs and the sheep
of Christ's foid. He hoped that staff would help to reef all
him of his duties in that respect.--Cheleatford CAronick.

SOUTH LEICESTHHHHIRE ELZCTION. —The poll-
ing for South Leicestershire took place yesterday. The
liberals' return at the ekes of the poll wee—Paget, 2,288 ;
Pell, 2,Z37 ; majority for Paget, 51. Two or three more
returns have still to be received, and the figures given can-
not be regarded as folly conclusive. The conservatives
issued no return as to the state of the poll at 5 p.m., but it
was stated at their central oommittewroom that they
claimed a majority of 23, although, like the liberals, they
admitted that their statistics were not fully complete.
Mr. Paget addressed a large crowd of his supporters shoat
6 p.m., and expressed his belief that be was returned.

WORKINO MEN AND THE MANCHESTER ELECTION.
—Mr. Jacob Bright writes to • local contemporary :—" In
every ward in Manchester, during the contest which le
now concluded, a number of working men gave much time
and labour to secure my return to the House of Commons.
On the day of the poll they worked from the early morn-
ing until the final result, sacrificing their wages and per-
sonal comfort in defence of the principles which are dear
to them. Will you permit me, through your columns, to
convey to them my sincere thanks, and to say that with-
out their essistance the great success which we have
achieved could not have been accomplished ?"

An aggregate meeting of the trades unionists
of Leeds and the district was held oa Wednesday night,
for the consideration of the present position of these asso-
ciations and the steps which it is desirable to adopt to
secure their better reprerentatlon in the new parliament.
Most of the speakers were members of the unions, and ad-
vocated the selection of a candidate who, if not himself •
working man, at least sympathised with the opinions en-
tertained by them, and would be willing to suppot t
lation sprozally directed towards the removal of the dis-
abilities under which working men were said to labour,
such as the Masters and Servants Act, and the non-pro-
tecting of trades unions by law. The choice of a candidate
was lett with the council

Lady Esmoride, widow of the late Right Hon.
Sir Thomas &monde, has, it is said, bequeathed the sum
of 30,000/. to the board of Trinity College, Dublin, to

ford.
817DDEN DEATH OF THE VEN. ARCHDEACON
Gnett:ati.—We bare to record the sudden death of the
Wen. Archdeacon Greenall, which took place at North-
wick on Wednesday afternoon. The yen. and rev. gentle-
man was in his usual apparently good health at the time
of the occurrence. He was present at the meetings held
on behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel
in Foreign Parte, am! was called upon to take the chair in
the absence of the Bishop of Chester. Before the meeting
commenced, and before he went on the platform, he
chatted with his usual affability and good humour with
the numerous friends around him. On taking the chair
he called upon the Rev. D. 'Waller to engage in prayer,
and afterwards on the Rev. R. J. Livingstone to read the
report of the district association. He next addressed the
meeting, when he stopped in the middle of • sentence,
pat hie hand upon the table as if to reach the water, and
after leaning a little forward, fell back seamier into his
chair. He was conveyed into • bedroom in the Crown
Hotel, adjacent to the Town-hall, and medical aid was at
once called in. He died in less than an hour from the
time of his removal from the room, between four and five
o'clock.— Warrington Onardian.
THE ACCELERATION OF THE MAUR BETWEEN
LONDON AND THE NORTH OF IRELAND.—We (Nor/here.
Who/ bare received a copy of the following communica-
tion, which ahoy* that the government have come to a de-
cision on this important question :—" London, Nov. 21,
litiii.—My dear Sir,-1 have just been to see Mr. Hunt,
the Secretary to the Treasury, aecompanied by Sir F. Hey-
gate and Mr. B. P. Dawson, to ascertain what was doing
about the acceleration of the mails between London and
Belfast. We were informed that the Treasury had de-
cided on accelerating the mails via Dublin and Holyhead,
and that the sum necessary for such purpose is included
in the estimates for this year. They have abandoned all
idea of the Stnuiraer route or short-sea passage. We
pressed Mr. Hunt on the desirability of having the accele-
ration commenced as soon as possible, and we were led to
expect that it will take place on the Ist February next.—
Your's faithfully, CHARLES LAN TON.—The President of the
Belfast Chamber of Commerce." . .

THE PARIS Eininivion.—The removal of the
innumerable objects which appeared in the Exhibition is
progressing actively. Hundreds of labourers and a great
number of waggons and carts are engaged in the work. At
the palace itself the food gallery and that in which the
machinery was exhibited are on the eve of being completely
cleared, and the engines which supplied motive power are
at this moment being taken to pieces. The clearance is
going on just as rapidly in the other galleries, and
also in the central garden, from which neatly all the
statues have now disappeared. Most of the structures
erected in the exterior park are still almost untouched;
but one of the moat important, the specimen church,
built on the border of the lake, is already half demolished.
The workmen are beginning to take down the lofty light-
house which stands close by ; and also the monumental
fountains which adorned the entrance opposite the Pont
diens. The double row of Venetian masts along the
avenue leading to the palace is still standing. Is another
quarter of the park, not far from the fountain fed by the
w.ters of the Dhuys, which continue to give an abun-
dant supply, there no longer remains a trace of the colossal
equestrian statues erected there. The reserved garden
having only been closed a few days back appears at fret
sight as if it bad not been touched ; however, the work of
uprooting is going on actively, and in a short time we shall
doubtless see those hot-houses taken down which gave
shelter to so many magnificent and curious planta.—

IF it is of importance to the public that edu-
cated medical practitioners should be protected in
the skilful practice of their art, we should all be
glad that the case of " ARSOLON T. STATHAM,"
tried yesterday before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of
the Court of Queen's Bench and a special jury,
terminated in an unqualified verdict for the de-
fendant. Tho plaintiff is a sempatress, and the
defendant a surgeon residing in Wimpole-street,
but connected with the Great Northern Hos-
pital. The allegation was that the plaintiff had
administered chloroform to her when it was highly
dangerous to do so, and that she had been
permanently injured in consequence, and also that
he had seized her by the throat, and extracted
six of her teeth against her will. The charges
were thus two-fold—assault and malpraxis. It
was, however, proved conclusively that so far from
the operation upon her teeth and jaw having been
performed against her will, she had taken off her
bonnet and abawl, and placed herself upon the
operating table. The seizure by the throat was
also purely imaginary. The operation was very
quickly performed, and Sir WILLIAMFEROUSON and
other eminent authorities deposed that the plain-
tiffs present health could not be the result
of the administration of chloroform. The poor
woman who was advised to bring this action
is one of a class with which medical men
find it most difficult to deal, and whom it
is even dangerous to take in hand. She is
of high, nervous organization, and exceedingly
hysterical. She no doubt believed the facts to
which she has twice sworn, and those who believe
themselves generally find others to believe them.
This is the second action which has been brought
against Mr. STATHAM in the same case. At the con-
clusion of the first, the medical profession subscribed
a testimonial to that gentleman, who, however,
refused to accept anything more than an expression
of opinion from his brethren, and insisted on
bearing the burden of his costa. Probably his
generosity is partly aeommtable for these trials ; for,
on the plaintiffs behalf, great reliance was placed
upon the fact that since the occurrence Mr.
STATHAM had relieved her with money, and had
offered 301., then 601., which he afterwards
altered to an offer of an annuity of 10s., and then
1 tia., per week, but which the plaintiff refused
to accept, considering that the annuity should
be 11. per week. But Dr. SALT, who
was one of the plaintiff's witnesses, stated
that Mr. STATHAM is a most benevolent gentle-
man, and that he knew of many instances where
he and his sister had given poor patients money
relief as well as pay for their lodgings. He was
in the habit of sending them into the country
for change of air at his own cost, and personally

The late statement of the Owl that Austria and France
had signed a convention giving Turkey a guarantee of her
present territory is contradicted by two or three of the
morning journals. Austria may indeed regret, adds the
Tines, that England abstains from interference in the East-
ern question, because Austria wishes to go hand-in-hand
with England ; but Austria is as far from asking
England to engage herself by treaty as she herself
is from entering into such an engagement with
France. The 0•l also stated that Prussia had declined
to enter the congress on Roman affairs because she
is a protestant power. This announcement, the Daily
News believes, is as erroneous as the former. The Eldest
Son of the Church recognises the equal title of protestant
and catholic powers to deliberate as to what shall be done
with the temporal power, and the Pope himself makes no
objection. If he should do so, it would be a matter of
considerable difficulty to determine what powers are
entitled to be considered catholic.

Prussia, the Telegraph hear., is decidedly opposed to
the Roman conference, and, although it is not the fact
that England has given a definitive refusal, yet she cer•
tainly will not assent until she shall be more fully informed
respecting the subjects to be discussed and the prospects of
agreement.

The return of the liberal candidate for South Leicester-
shire is a subject of congratulation with the Daily News,
the Telegraph, and Star. The latter draws attention to
some singular correspondence which has taken place in the
county. The Rev. Mr. Parr, of Acton Beauchamp rec-
tory, writes to a tenant, Mr. Webster, expressing his re.
gret at hearing that he is canvassing for Mr. Paget, and
relies upon bin to vote for the conservative candi-
date. Mr. Webster replies that be would rather
lose his farm and the money be has 'pent upon it
than go against his principles. In another case
a Mr. Wale, who had signed the requisition to Mr. Paget,
writes to that gentleman to expl►in that he cannot fulfil
his promise because be had given a pledge to a former
member for the borough of Leicester, who by his influence
at the War-oleos had got for him a sum of 490/., which
the authorities shad tried to wrong him out of, that he
(Mr. Wale) would vote for that member or any of his
friends at future elections, and Mr. Pell had now proved
to be one of that hon. gentleman's friends. The Star asks if it
is really possible that an English gentleman and member
of parliament used his influence to recover for a voter what
we presume was fairly his right, on condition that the
voter pledged his vote to the member or his friends for
all coming elections ? Such correspondences, our contem-
porary says, deserve consideraticn, because they are fairly
illustrative of a system operating everywhere through the
county constituencies.

Lord Elphinstone was on Wednesday unani-

Tho presentation of the prizes won at the recent
contest by the Halifax Volunteer Corps took place last
night. Earl Fitzwilliain presided, and Lord Echo at some
length enforced the importance of some plan being adopted
by which every man should be called upon to serve the
country, either as a volunteer or in the militia, and con-
tended that a large grant should be made to the volunteers,
if they were to continue in an efficient state. Colonel
AUcroyd, M.P., was also present.

In a speech which he has just delivered at Tarn-
worth, Sir Robert Peel has spoken against the proposal to
dis-establish the Irish church. He appeals to the opinions
held by Lord Palmerston on this question, and insists that
if parliament once begins to deal with the revenues of the
church in Ireland, it may afterwards be ooneidered right
to do away with all endowments for religious purposes.
He would seek to allay the irritation of the catholics by
endowing their clergy.

Mr. Gilpin, on Monday, will ask the Secretary
to the Treasury, whether, considering the effects of the
recent destructive storm in the island of St. Thomas, in
which the wharf of the Royal Steam Company is stated
to have been destroyed, and the deplorable loss of life
both from this cause and the pernicious effects of the
climate of the island, it is the intention of the Post-office
authorities to continue to sanction the island of St.
Thomas as the chief postal station of the West India
mails.

Mr. Hubbard's bill for the regulation of church

On Thursday next Mr. Ewart will ask the Vice-
President of the Board of Trade what steps her 3fajeaty's
government are prepared to take with reference to the
recommendations of the international monetary con-
ference and the conference on international weights, mea-
sures, and coins held at Paris in June last ; and whether
they are prepared to bring in a measure to amend the
Metric Weights and Measures Aot of i&4, with a view to
provide for the verification and stamping of metric weights
and measures legalised by that act ; also for the mainte-
nance of metric standards in the department of the warden

Th.; Tian supports Sir Colman OZoghlen's libel bill,
and believes there is every prospect of its becoming law
nest year. Referring to the vote riven )y a lay for Mr.
Jacob Bright at Manchester, the Times expresses cariosity
for further particulars. The returning oMcer at the
polling-booth was, it believes, bound by the register of
voters. But how did a lady's name find its way into the
register? Was it a deep-laid plot of the " Woman's
Suffrage Society of Manchester," or was it due merely to
the carelessness of the ?seem? Mr. Jacob Bright's re-
turn is not likely to be contested, or else the Times is
afraid a legal scrutiny would deprive the sex of this
momentary triumph.

INDIA AND THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.—The

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY,
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE JAMES HUTTON. THE DAY" NEWSPAPER.
His Honour had appointed to-day for giving judgment
on a claim for 6981., tendered against the estate of the
bankrupt by Messrs. Ranken and Wilson, of Drury-court,
Drury-lane, printers, the particulars of which were fully
reported a fortnight ago.
His Honour said the only question was whether Messrs.
Ranken and Wilson ought to give credit for a sum of 500/.
which they had received from the bankrupt, and deduct
that amount from their proof. The evidence was that
this sum was paid to them towards the preliminary ex-
penses. They were told that the paper was not started
as a commercial speculation, but to support the
opinions of a certain party of public men ; and
they asked, in addition to the 5001., for a
guarantee that they should have the printing of the
paper for a certain tune ; but this they did not obtain,
though they were told that 40,000/. was subscribed to
carry it on. It was admitted that there was no agreement
that they should have the printing for any certain time ;
end the evidence only went to this, that the payment of
the 5001. was a contribution towards the preliminary
expenses, which it was contemplated would be 8001.
On considering the evidence given, he thought the
agreement between the parties was—not that the ateif. was
• gift, to be applied as Messrs. Ranker and Co. thought
lit towards the preliminary expenses, and for which they
were not to account, which was their contention • nor
that it was simply • loan, or payment in advance for so
much printing, and to be deducted from their account,
as the assignees contended ; but—that Messrs. Ranken
having estimated that the preliminary expenses would
amount to $OOl., the agreement was that such expenses
were to be defrayed by Mr. Hutton and Messrs. Ranke nand
Co., jointly ; and as the latter were to have the expendi-
ture of the money, they were to account to Mr. Hutton for
that win, and they had in fact, from time to time, ex-
pressed themselves willing to do so. Messrs. lienkeuand
Co. would not have been entitled to retain the whole
benefit of the money, or the proceeds of the money, with.
out rendering an account, and that account the assignees
bad • right to insist upon • and further, so long as the
paper continued to be printed Mr. Hutton would have had
the right to have the type, ke., purchased fo4otsliee paper
used in printing it only ; but the paper having , the
assignees had • right to have credit for Mr. utton's
share of the value of the proceeds of the 8001., whatever
that value might be; and Messrs. Ranken and Co. could not
apply the proceeds to any lore they might have sustained
by reason of the stoppage of the paper, for that formed so
part of the agreement. Messrs. Ranken and Co. said tbaetbe
proceeds of the 800/. were not now worth 300/. ; but what-
ever the value might be, credit must be given for it. The
claim of the assignees could not be carried further than
that ; for it would be unfair to call on Ranken and Co.
to give credit for the whole sum of 5001., after they had,
with the consent of Mr. Hutton,. applied it in a manner
very important to him at the time, but, now that the
paper had stopped, of comparately little value to them.
In ordinary cases this property would be sold, but
it was not improbable that it had been in use, and was
not near so valuable as it was when the paper
stopped. The proper course would be, unless the parties
agreed on the amount, to have a valuation made by some
one acquainted with the trade, of the property purchased
by the expenditure of the 8001. ; and in such valuation an
allowance should be made for depredation since March if
it had been used by Meilen. Ranken and Co., and Ave-
eighths of the amount of the valuation should be deducted
from the proof tendered by them.
His Honour asked Mr. Bagley if the attention of the
assignees had been drawn to the last item in Messrs.
Rsnken's account, 841., for wages, I:c., for the week after
the stoppage of the paper.
Mr. ley (after consulting with Mr. Wintle. the an-
*nee) said that after the judgment given by his Honour,
the assignees would prefer dealing with the proof as it
stood, and would not raise any further question upon the
items.

Mr. Watkin intends on the motion for the ad-
journment to call attention to the questions in debate
between this eountry and the United States.

The Right Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P., in aletter
to Provost Dickie, Kilmarnock, writes :—" I have been
intending to write to you for some little time, to say that
I regret that it will not be in power to pay that visit to
my constituents which it has been my usual habit sod
my pleasure to do about this season of the year. I have
been gradually recovering my fitness for work, bodily and
mental, of which last year I was deprived ; but I am still
obliged to be careful and to avoid overtasking myself, so
that I hope my friends would wish me to saes myself for
my parliamentary duties, and will exercise towards me
that kind indulgence I have so often experienced at their
hands. The session is now rapidly approaching, and pro-
misee to be a large and arduous one."

The dispute between the Waterford and Limerick
and Waterford and Kilkenny Railway Companies, which
has caused so much incoovenience to the public, is destined
Jobe fought out before her Majesty's judges. An action in
which 50,000 f. damages are claimed has, it is said, been
commenced against the former company for obstructing the
trains of the latter.

Ireland.

Notwithstanding the depressed state of the iron
trade, and the impression entertained that the men would
accept the reduction proposed by the masters, there ap-
pears strong reason to apprehend (says the Leeds Mercury)
that a strike or leek-out is imminent in the north of Eng-
land. In one ease the men refused to accede to the reduc-
tion, which is said to amount to 10 per sent., and 500 of
them hare been discharged. It is hinted th►t the reduc-
tion will be insisted upon generally by the iron-masters in
the north, end there is therefore too much reason to fear
another disastrous struggle between capital and laborer.

Yesterday morning a fire occurred at a cotton
mill at Famworth, near Bolton, and caused donne roughly
estimated at 10,0001. Another result of the diuster will
be that a large number of hands will be thrown out of
employment.
A ROYAL CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.—An accident oc-
curred to a portion of the Queen's eort::;,.. on Wednesday
evening, while on its return from Claremont to Windsor
Castle. Her Majesty left Claremont, which is about
fourteen miles from Windsor, at shortly before 5 o'clock
in the evening. The route was over the meads between
Egham and Old Windsor tolhe " Bells of Ouseley." Not
far distant from the latter place, a mail phaeton, drawn by
a couple of spirited horses ridden by a postilion, which
followed in the rear of the Queen'sequipage, n.I contained
General Sir T. M. Biddulph and her Majesty's luncheon
basket, as it swept round the corner came in contact with
a brewer's dray, belonging to Mr. A. Herl,ert, of the
brewery, Egham, and one of the horses was killed on the
spot. The phaeton had no light.
THE AiANSLAVORTER AT DoNeaserna. —Yesterday
William Burton, the man charged with the manslaughter
of a fellow-workman named Thomas Moverley, at the
Doncaster Plant Works, was brought before the borough
magistrates. Mr. Hall (Shirley and Atkinson) appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Woodhesd for the prisoner.
The poor man appeared to feel most *mutely the painful
position in which he had placed himself. The evidence
of several eyewitnesses of this shocking occurrence was
taken, and these men were nnanimons in ststing that the
provocation given to Burton by the deceased was more
than an man could bear. It was not only once car twice
that Moy verley had abused him and tried all he could to
bring about an open quarrel, but many times and on several
occasions Burton, rather than speak to the man, had gone
to seek the foreman of the shop in order that he might
Jute' fere. The witnesses described Burton us *cable
man and a good workman. It was only attar laying
extraordinary forbearance towards Iloverley, an whet
goaded to the very last pitch of endurance, that he turned
suddenly round, tongs in one hand and hammer in the
other, and dealt his tormentor a side blow on the heads
which killed him. Hut the deceased not given back the
hammer shaft would have struck him and not the hammer
head. The blow was over the temple and penetrated the
skull, making a frightful wound. Immediately be mw
what he had done Burton was quite overwhelmed, and
such seems to be his present position. He, of course.
admits having killed the man, but says he sgoravated his
to it ; he expense the greatest sorrow for what be has
done, but states that he could not help it. The bench
committed him fee trial at the ensuing Leeds assizes. The
same afternoon an inquest was opened before Kr. 401 u,
Lister, the borough meaner, hot adjourned, after visiting
the body, until this (Friday) afternoon. Great sympathy
is felt foe the primmer.

It is reported that Fenian parties have been
seen recently to the number of 600 engaged in midnight
drill near Donoughmore, and about the same number at
Carriaraavar, County Cork.
