columns. It was a writ of error brought to reverse a judg-
ment of the Queen's Bench in Ireland confirming a convic-
tion of Denis Dowling Mulcahy for treason-felony. The
grounds for the reversal of the judgment were that the
whole indictment was open to the objection of duplicity,
that the overt acts were insufficiently laid, that some of
the grain.' jury who found the indictment were affirmed
instn ad of swoni, that a juror was sworn over sixty years
of age, and that another juror was not qualified to serve
in consequence of his name being omitted in the jurors'
hook for the then current year. At the Haring four
questions were submitted by their lordships for the
tionsideirtion of the judges.

unanimously atisw..wil the following questions in the
negative:- let. Ought the challenge to Jurnss Booth

The following is the official return of the cheques

Joint C. Nowt, Deputy Inspector.
Bankers' Clearing-house, July 2.

The total is extraordinarily large, owing to the
hi avy payments on revenue and other accounts on
the 30t1 which was likewise settling day in the
Stook 11;change. For the corresponding week of

last year, which also included a Stock Exchange
settlement, the total was only 70,138,0001. The
inference is that speculation in public securities,
especially in foreign stocks, is much more active
than it was last year.
The weekly return of the Bank of France shows
the following changes :

Coin and bullion
Bills discounted
Notes in circulation lncrease 1,592,000
Private deposits
Advances
'Treasury balance lncrease 45,000
_ . ..

At this season there is usually some revival of the
demand for money in France, and evidence of this
is afforded by the increase in the discounts and
circulation, and by the withdrawals of deposits.
The decline in the coin and bullion is of no im-
portance.

The return of tho Bank of England for the week
ending Wodneeday, July 1, compared with that
for the previous week, shows the following
changes :

The changes shown in this return aro large,
owing to the active demand for money, usual at
the turn of the half-year, which has caused an in-
crease of no has than 2,291,3681. in the loans and
discounts, and to the heavy payments on govern-
ment account. Although these movements have
been counteracted in part by the influx of more
than a million of private deposits, the reser►e has
been trenched upon to the extent of 1,295,95 W.
During the week the Bank received from
abroad in gold about 107,0001., but the payments
incidental to the season have carried away this
sum, and have further caused a decrease of
211,76 W. in the coin.
