EQUITY COURTS.
(Before the Metter of the Rolle).

WILKINSON r. DUNCAN.
His Honour gave judgment in this ease. The lute Mr
George Wilkinson, of Tottenham High Cross, by his will be-
queathed to trustees, amongst other property, the sixth of a
sum of 23,00 W. Consols, to the reversion of which
he was entitled on the death of Mr. Stephen
timber, upon tenet, at their discretion, to con-
vert math portion of his estate as should not
0013.14 of money, into mousy, and pa
.y the interest to his
son for life, and then to his children. the testator died in
1838, and the trustees did not seU the reversion, and in 1833
Mr. Orueber and the tenant for life died, and the reversion
fall in. The present suit was instituted by the plaintiff.
who claimed to be entitled to the interest from 1836
to 1833 of the sum the reversion would have
radioed had it been sold for the market value, •a year after
the tweeter's death. His Honour said he was of opinion
the trustees earecised a proper diem ion in not selling the
reversion, 'and they had thee secured the largest
amount for the Mate; but their having so
acted ought not to prejudice the plaintiff, who had,
in feet received nothing, whereas if the reversion had
been mild shortly after the testator's death, he would hero
received interest on the sum the reversion realised.
He was of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled
to the amount be would have ea received, and the
quention wee how we the amount to be ascertained. Ile
thought the way to treat it would be for on action• to value
the reversion as if it had bets fixed to fell in et the actual
time that it did, end by the death of the tenant for life, and

quoted 1 per cent. lower than they closed yesterday.
English railway stocks are also somewhat easier in
price.
Consols for the Bth April stood at 931, "buyers,"
during part of the morning, and are now quoted
93Z, " sellers." Fur money the price is now 931 to 1.
The New Three per Cents., though shut, have been
dealt in at 931 to ; Exchequer Bills (lune), at 3s.
prem.; ditto, advertised, at N. dia.
Turkish Six per Cents. were first marked 9G,
but have since rallied to 97 to 1. The Guaranteed

take out about 30,0001. in gold for Cadiz.

The corn market yesterday was dull, with little
change in prices. The arrivals of foreign breadstuffs
in London this week have been rather small. During
the last week 14 grain-laden vessels have arrived at
ports of call. There is still a demand for maize for
France and Spain. Few arrived cargoes are now
on sale, and for these high prices are asked.
As is well known, the European and Indian Junc-
tion Telegraph Company, which proposes to unite
the European and Indian systems of telegraph, by
constructing aline from the Mediterranean to the head
of the Persian Gulf, along the Euphrates Valley, has
recently obtained the grant of a joint annual subsidy
from the British and Indian. governments. A com-
peting undertaking is now in course of formation,
proposing also to establish telegraphic communica-
tion with India, but by. a different route, viz., via
the British possessions tee the Mediterranean, Alex-
andria, and the Red Sea. The engineer to this un•
dertaking is Mr. Lionel Gisborne, who has for some
time past been engaged at Constantinople and else-
where in making the requisite arrangements.
It is stated that these are now matured, and
that a company will shortly be announced
to prosecute the enterprise. From the state-
ments put forward, it appears that complete
charts and soundings have been taken of the whole
of the Red Sea and along the south coast of Arabia
, the whole way to Kurrachee. The views of the

The position of the market for American railway
securities is thus noticed by Mr. E. F. Satter-

fitertaite
There has been it moderate amount of business inAmerican
securities in London during the past week. Prices are in
some VMS flatter, owing to the recent decline in New York ;
but there is not any large amount of stock on the market.
The Emigration Commissioners require chips for
the conveyance of emigrants to Sydney, Melbourne,
and Perth. Tenders will be received on the 12th

The subjoined exhibits the extent of the week's

leent tendency towards a revival of speculative
,business in several branches of the security markets
has received a decided check. Considering this fact
and the probability that the impending general
election will lead to a diminution of activity in the
stock markets, during the next month or two, it is
natural that the recent vote of the House of Commons
should be viewed with dislike in the Stock Exchange.
The money market is still characterised by some
degree of stringency. In tho discount market an
active demand is experienced, at full rates. In the
Stock Exchange money commanded 6 per cent. for
short loans on government securities, and some ap-
plications were made to the Bank at this rate.
Consols, which closed yesterday, at 94 to 1 for the
Bth April, opened this morning at the same quota-
tion, declined to 934, "sellers," and closed at 934 to
