THE City is in a ferment. For weeks poet • panic
hae been raging from Mineing-lane to Card-court.
The mere of Westanineter-hall and the "agnates of
the Exchange are at loggerheads; and this very day
a meeting is comma& dour merchant princes, with
the autocrat of European capitalists at their head, to
maim a solemn pretest aphid a mond decision of the
Court of Exchequer Chamber. The question raised
in the DOW 62110N0 OM of" lErsosronn e.
though of course perplexed as much as pos-
sible by the lawyers, is in itself by no mean
emmikated. It all terns on the legal effect
of that very fangbar sammatile instrument com-
monly known in the City as a " delivery crier."
Substantially, the problem is thie—whettser the
senignment of • " delivery order," coupled
with the posermion of the goods to which it
relate* to a dealer who has hest Ate pur-
chased or advanced merry on them, does
cc deem not vest in hint the property in these
goads, although the party weigoing the order end
*den or felling the goods be. fraudulently ob-
tained portion of them from the original owner.
In other words, is the Matfirie holder, far value, of
a "delivery order," bound to make out a good title in
the party from whom he takes it; ore it enough for
seelhekier teehew,as in the ease of a bank note, a bell
of exchange, or a bill of lading, that he himself has
imeilfrie given value for it P That is the real ques-
tion railed by "LIM:WORD r. Mew." The City lays
that according to seeresntile practise the latter of
these two alternatives is the true doctrine : the Coact
of Exchequer Chamber holds the contrary. Is the
Court of Exchequer Chamber right in point of law P
That is one question—a question which can only
be determined by en appeal to the Hams of Loeda.
Amarehig that, in strict law, the Court of Ex-
chequer Chamber is right, is the law itself right
or wrong P That is another questlem—a question to be
mainly decided by INalitheudiews of moreendle ems-
venienee. If the beim* of eeneemieseee be want

Royal British Beak is only ores %Maw oat of

elemasterised that litigation as a mass " of such
esnlists and oempileadsms as, to a civilised people,
are nationelly dieuroditalle, and in a well governed
country ought not to be possible." They would not
be possible except in a lawyor-ridden country. They
always will be not only male, but unavoidable, in
• country when the men of Urines@ do not actively
exert themselves to nem mercantile legislation
from the exclaim despotism of the men of law. Let
as hope that the nearehants of Landon are at length
beginning to feel the neosesity of thus exerting
themselves. Why should they not have an organisa-
tion for facilitating the work P Why should this
great emporium of the world's mecelisndise be still
without its Chamber of Commerce! Why should
the energy which has been called forth to pro-
test against an isolated decision evaporate
in a mere act of momentary remonstrance ?
Let immediate steps be taken, by all means, for recti-
fying the law as laid down by the Exchequer Cham-
ber, but let the meeting of to-day look further and
aim higher : the important thing is, not to encounter
a legal blunder with a commercial protest, bat to or
an institution by which men of bunion, may
permanently set on the law-mskers and the law ad-
ministrators so as to render such blunders leis possi-
ble in the future. To neutralise the diet of such a
decision as that of "RINGSFOID 0. Mum" is no doubt
a legitimate object for a great City gathering; but it
would be • far more valuable result of the present
agitation if it led to some plan for the immediate
establishment of a Metropolitan Chamber of
Commerce.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Jar. It

H. Ker Berber, Fag., M.P., will give a lecture
cm the " Hems of Commons," this evening, at Blandford.

Numerous arrests took place in Madrid last night
and in the course of yesterday.
A new decree of the civil governor of the pro-
vine of Barcelona prohibits the wearing of sword-
sticks and other arms not destined for domestic
uses, or for hunting or shooting. Pocket-
knives must not exceed a certain dimension; poignard
knives of every dimension are prohibited, as well
u pistols other than bolster pistols, also guns of a
calibre fora bullet of more than an ounce, with a
barrel of a Castilian yard in length. All these arms
are to be deposited in a place to be appointed by the
armourers, and cannot be sold except for exporta-
tion. Armourers mast further furnish to the autho-
rities a report of the arms which they have in their
warehouses or shops ; but they cannot sell any to pri-
vate individuals without the previous permission of
the civil governor. Anne that may be introduced
into the province by merchants are to be seques-
trated and deposited in some secure place until cir-
cumstances permit their remission to the proprietors.
Smuggling of arms will be punished as an attempt
against the public order.
Analogous measures have just been adopted by the
authorities of the province of Saragossa.

The Pays says :—" We learn from a private letter
that the Catinat was in the Macao Roads on Dec. 2.
At that date news had arrived that the court of
Pekin had sentenced the Viceroy Ych to degradation
for having ill-defended the town of Canton against
the English attack. This fact seems to prove that
the Chinese government will not yield unless a
demonstration be made against the heart of the
empire."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(room ma owe

PARIS, SVsDAT Enstso.

At seven yesterday evening the prison authorities
went to Verger's cell to read to him the sentence of
death. He heard it calmly, but immediately the
reading was finished he exclaimed, " Go, now, gen-
tlemen, and execute justice. You also will be con-
demned. Co; I dismiss and despise you." The go-
vernor of the prison then gave orders that Vow
should be clothed in a strait-waistcoat (camisole de
force) which, it is stated, is the costume invariably
imposed upon criminals under sentence of
death. He submitted quietly, simply observing
" I know that Ino longer belong to myself." Ile
passed the night tranquilly, and ate his breakfast
with a good appetite. On being asked whether he
had any wish to express, he said that he desired to
appeal to the Court of Cessation, and also to present
a petition to the Emperor for pardon. "But," he said,
" How shall I write the petition with this strait-
waistcoat, which prevents sue from using my holder
He was told that he might dictate what he wished,
and that his strait-waistcoat should ,be

taken off when he wanted to sign. He
thanked the governor for this explanation.
He was then asked whether he would wish to see •
priest, and he said " I accept his services with plea-
sure." The Abbe Nottelet was then introduced, and
Verger threw himself into his arms and embraced
him.

I cannot help observing that if the medical theory
of homicidal monomania is to be admitted at all,
few stronger cues of it have ever been known than
that of Verger.
The Moraleur says:—" Some foreign journals an-
nounce that the government is preparing legislative
measures for an alimentation of the civil list. This
statement is entirely false, and those who endeavour
to circulate it are doubtless not aware that the civil
list has been voted for the whole duration of the
present reign."
The Prem., in reproducing an announcement in
the Muniteur that it is to be prosecuted for publish-
ing the letter mistakenly attributed to the Emperor's
secretary, simply repeats as evidence of good faith,
its statement of yesterday, that the letter was ex-
tracted from a Swiss paper.

In publishing this contradiction of a letter the
authenticity of which I doubted yesterday, the Press.
observes that it merely reproduced what it found in
the Swiss journals,whieh it now appears were deceived.
The sudden rise during the last half hour of the
Bourse yesterday took the sellers of prime by sur-
prise, and prices opened to-day with much firmness.
There was a slight reaction for a moment, it being
announced to-day that the directors of the Bank had
received no direct communication relative to the
project of increasing the capital stock of that esta-
blishment, but as it was still thought that the aug-
mentation was still on the folds, the Rente speedily
recovered. The closing prices were 68.23 and 68.30,
there being a rise of be. for cash and a fall of Se. for
amount. Mobilicr fell If. Railways were generally
higher, and rose from If. to 10E, but Grand Central
fell 3f. to 4f., it being considered that the delay of
five years, which appears to have been consented to
in its bargain with the Orleans company, is un-
favourable to the shareholders.

The -Voniteer de rArmee gives a positive contra-
diction to a statement mode by several journals pub-
lished in different seaports, that it is in contempla-
tion to attach to the Imperial Guards a battalion of
marines, to be stationed in Paris.

Measures for pm release of the prieoners were
taken immediately after the definitive vote of the
Council of State, upon the propositions submitted by
the Federal Council. The prisoners, iifty-sin in
number, will be escorted to France and there set at
liberty. Dr. Kern, the successful negotiator, is
going to Paris spin.
A telegraphic &quash of Saturday from Berne
says that the Procureur-General has gone to Neuf-
chatel for the formalities attending on the release of
the prisoners, to whom he will deliver parporte.
The Prussian official journal of the pith contains
no order for the mobilisation of the army, and it is
therefore clear that the King of Prussia recognises
the negotiations, since he has not acted up to his
threat of proceeding to hostile measures unless the
prisoner were enlarged by January lath.

A curious letter from London, dated the 13th, in
the Erna: Zeitumg, of Berlin, amens that the Prus-
sian Minister at the Court of Queen Victoria has
lately been instructed to communicate to our own
government several despatches from the Cabinet of
Berlin, upon the subject of the course which had
been pursued, with regard to the dispute between
Prussia and Switzerland, by Mr. George Gordon,
the British Minister at Berne. These Berlin de-
spatches, if we may believe the correspondent of the
Berlin newspaper, have been described to him by
somebody connected with the Foreign-office here
as " rather rough, but very impressive indeed ;"
and it is further stated by the same informant,
that they have bad the effect of inducing
the British government to disavow earnestly the
conduct of its representative at Berne. One soma-
non brought against Mr. George Gordon, says the
same letter, is that he is in the habit of keeping
company with the red republicans (ffechrodles), and '
that he frequents meetings of Mr. James Fay and
his friends, whose remarks upon political affairs he
has even heard with approbation. This, of course,
was what the King of -Prussia could not allow, and
upon his remonstrating with the government of
Great Britain, Mr. George Gordon was "obliged
rather unceremoniously to contradict himself, and
has, for some time past, been the minister in Swit-
zerland only in name, the most important matters of
business belonging to the English legation in Swit-
zerland being conducted exclusively by the amber
sailor at Pans, Lord Cowley."
A despatch from Berlin of Saturday's date says,
that the Prussian government has already expressed
to the powers its disposition to consent to diplomatic
negotiations relative to the question of its sovereignty
over Neufchatel : the place and the time at which
the negotiations are to be opened are still uncertain.
The Russian Grand Duke Constantine has arrived
at Berlin.

In the sitting of the 13th of the Chamber of De-
puties at Turin, M. Lanza, Minister of Public In-
struction, opened the discussion on the bill for the
re-organisation of the department of public instruc-
tion. lie observed that some hostility had been
manifested to it, because of certain articles relating
to private instruction ; but those articles were only
retained provisionally ; a special bill on private in-
struction would be brought forward, and it would
then be time to consider whether they ought to
admit the principle of liberty of instruction. M.
Guillet opposed the bill, as calculated indefinitely to
adjourn the question of free instruction, a question
which the government sought to avoid, because they
were apprehensive of the jealousy of the clergy. M.
Tola ale° declared himself for freedom of instruction;
and opposed this measure, as calculated to create a
monopoly, by which public instruction was to be en-
tirely modelled after the views of the Cabinet, and
inspired by the Minister. The discussion was ad-
journed.
A letter from Nice of the 13th says " The Grand
Duke Michael arrived here yesterday, going at once
to the residence of the Empress. The King of
Sardinia is to arrive on the 22nd."
