amount sea debt spinet hie estate." This wsa not dose
directly ; the war, was it done by inference ? The
act we paged with • totally different object, to
distennee the point et issue between one set of
shmeholdere end sear ; sad the only words at all
beteg on the qualm were these and It is ecied
that some pet et the loam ocessiceed by each fte and
forgeries may be reimbursed to the electors of the Omit
Northern Ramey Company." It wee impossible to conceive
words more
tamed Did the act say thst the whole
221,0701. be be into • debt due from Muth to the
Company at thefts* of the bankruptcy f Nothing of the kind.
The siding part merely declared the forged shares to be
=Me ; but how did that prove which were the forged
Mr. Lawrsace suggested that that was proved by the
schedule.
Hie Honour add there was no proof by whom the
many was reeved; the set of parliament left that metier
y where it was. It was • strong Infernos to
rwiseltrom the set that Podpith bad received all this
wry for the Is of the company. The mut could not
awe to this casclusion. Therefore' either with or without
the an of parliament the proof could not be sustained.
It was mid that It wee not opposed, bet the court
add net on that account allow it to be plead on
the ilk if it had no right to be there. Wee this done any
pety who could sathdy the creditors under say bankruptcy
alight opens end sweep away the whole dthe eats. It
would be important before any tribunal to show that the
boss fide creditors had bees paid in fell. They had given
credit to the bankrupt on account of his fictitious appear-
lune of wealth, en appearance which he wee allowed to keep
up by the company, who knew that he had a very meff
salary, had been bankrupt before, and was yet living under
their eyes like a noblemen. This ought to have excited peat
suspicion. How be. It that at the audits these frauds
were not disco They were not so ; he was allowed to go
on keeping up this Sodas apperancs his employers look-
ing on and keeping beck while he did so. It wee only jut
that the creditors, who had been the deceived, should be
paid in full. The surplus of the estate, slier paying these
debt. in full, in reality belonged to the ewe.
Mr. Leweenee mid this was not so, ea Iteduth wee beak.
ro.lf before he wee connoted. The rid efiAlthcsoar's
judgment,upheld, would be to bed over the mto ph,
the bankrupt.
His Honour wee of opinion that the property vested hi
the crown from the time the felony was committed. It
would then be for the crown to dispose of it, as it thought
proper, by Treasury warrant. Should it turn out that this
view was the correct one, the best course would be for the
company, after the crown had made its claim, to
t= s for the surplus to be handed over to
. It was enough now for the court to
sey that the proof could not be admitted, as the deposition
did not show that the money had been had and received by
the bankrupt for the use of the company. As the surplus
in this case was oonsidemble-28,000!. it would be well
that the Attorney-Gensal should be communicated with on
the subject. In the meantime the dividend sitting would be
adjourned.

dealt in from 91 to 911, and are now quoted 91 to 1.

Turkish Six per Cents. have receded to 911 to 92.
Other foreign stocks are quiet. Sales are recorded
as follows ;—Brazilian Old Five per Cents. at 971 to

Atclegrarn reeeivedto-day by theßoyal Mail Steam
Packet Company, mentions the arrival at Marseilles
yesterday of the steamer Vanguard with the light
portion of the Australian mails, ex the Simla.
The letters are expected to be delivered in London
to-morrow morning. The same telegram states I
the gold on board the steamer Tamar, which
is expected to arrive at Southampton in a
day or two from Alexandria, is as much as 131,000
ounces and 16,000 sovereigns, making a total of
about 639,0001 The amount previously mentioned
was 300,0001.
Although the expected large arrivals of sucie are
not yet to hand, gold continues to flow into the Bank
in moderate quantities from day to day. The sum
purchased by the Bank yesterday was about 11,0001.,
chiefly from France and Russia. It is hoped that
sovereigns will soon begin to flow back more freely
from the provinces, from Scotland and Ireland. In
all quarters the popular effervescence occasioned by
the bank suspensions has died away, and bankers
will scarcely 130 disposed to keep their capital need-
lessly long in the unproductive shape of sovereigns.
The great house of Sanderson, Sandeman, and
Co., whose stoppage on the 11th rent occasioned so
much consternation, and was the immediate pre-
cursor of the relaxation of the Bank Charter Act,
have issued the following circular, convening a
meeting of their creditors. The annexed statement
of accounts, prepared by Meters. Tarquand,Yougs,
and Co., shows an apparent surplus of about
106,0001., but the result of the liquidation must de-
pend solely upon the extent of the losses sustained in
respect of bills held and bills re-discounted. The
transactions of the firm were evidently conducted
upon a scale of enormous magnitude :
London, 8.C., Dec. 2, 1857.
Referring to our &calm of the 28th ult., we have now to
state that et the meeting of gentlemen held at our ounce to-
day, to whom the accounts prepared by Mesers. Tuequasd,
Youngs, and Co. the accountants, were submitted, It wee
recommended that @ oopy of the statement should be sent to
each of our creditors, and that a general meeting should be
culled, in order to determine upon the course to be pursued
foe the liquidating of our estate.
We beg, therefore, to annex a copy and to beam you
that a meeting of our creditors will be held at the London
Tavern. Dieltopegate-street, London. on Thursday, the 10th
day of December instant, at 1 o'clock precisely, at which we
hops for your attendance, or that of some one authorieed to

The position of the market for American securities
is thus noticed by Messrs. I). Bell, Son, and Co.:
There is nothing particular to notice In respect to the
market for American securities. During the past week there
has been a fair but not a large business doing. The supply
of stock bee bran moderate and prices have been well sup-
ported. In railroad bonds there has been more doing, and
prices have generally improved.

The funds to-day experienced an extreme flutes-
tion of 11 per cent., and closed the same u yesterday.
The general appearance of the Stock Exchange was
tolerably steady. The Queen's Speech was looked
for with interest, and excited even more than the
usual disappointment, owing to the extreme vague-
UM of the passages relating to commercial and
financial matters. - _ . •

At the Bank of England to-day there was again a
brisk demand for money, partly in anticipation of
to-morrow (the 4th). In the discount market con-
siderable caution is evinced, owing to the continued
failures, but there is a large aapply of money avail-
able for employment in really good paper. In the
Stock Exchange the current rate for short loans on
government securities was 5 to 6 per cent.
Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday
911 to for money and next Monday's settlement,
opened this morning at 911 to 1, advanced to 911 to 1,
relapsed to 914 to I, and closed at 911, "buyers."
For the Bth of January the last price was 92 to 4,
or equal to 904 to 1, ex div. The " continuation "
was somewhat less heavy, being quoted to 13-16
per cent. The official business report is as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, 1,1, 4,
; ditto, for account (7th December), 91/, 1,1, ;
Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, 1 ; New Three per
Cents., 901, 1,4, 1, I, 4 ; Thirty Years Annuities,
expiring in April, 1885. 174; Bank Stock, 216;
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds,
falling payable in 1868, 981, 994; ditto, 1859, 971.
Exchequer Bills remain quoted 4s. discount
to par.
Turkish Six per Cents. were again in good de-
mand this morning, and were marked as high as
921. Towards the close, however, some sales were
pressed, and the latest quotation was 911 to 92, or
per cent. below that of yesterday. Mexican
Bonds have advanced, owing to the more
favourable accounts lately received. Other foreign
securities exhibited steadiness.
East Indian railway stock advanced this morning,
but afterwards relapsed to the closing quotations at
yesterday, the paragraph in the Queen's speech re-
lative to the proposed measures for altering the
system of administration in India being regarded as
very meagre.
In the railway share market to-day there was an
improvement in Midland and Great Northern, and a
fall in London and North Western stock, accom-
panied by a rumour that an alliance between the
two former companies is not improbable.
Bank shares today wen steady, at the improved
rates lately established. London and Westminster
Bank shares have risen to 46 to 47. London and
County Bank were last quoted 28 to 29; London
Joint Stock, 28 to 29 ; Union Bank of London, 234
to 241 ; and Oriental Bank, 331 to 344 ex div. Pe-
ninsular and Oriental and European and American
Steam shares were better. St. Katharine Dock
stock was officially marked 89.

THE MEMBER FOR TOTNEe.—On Tuesday evening
T. Mills, Esq., and the Earl Gifford, the liberal end
popular members of Tomer met their constituents in the
Guildhall In that town, for the purpose of :presenting them
with an account of their conduct in the lest Simian
of Parliament, end of mewing their muniments ran-
tive to those leading quad:ions which are likely to engage
the attention of the Legislature in the next. Their reception
wee highly gratifying, and showed that their conduct wee
warmly approved by the entire Liberal party in the borough.
The hon. members addressed the meeting in'able speeches,
the address of Earl Gifford being of considerable length, in
the come, of which they reviewed the principal measures
that occupied the attention of Parliament last session, and
discussed the probabilities in favour of a now reform bill
being proposed by Lord Palmerton, the alteration of the
Beak Carter Act, and the Ea tern question. The remarks
of his lordship on the two last topics were distinguished by
originality and forcible argument. At the conclusion of the
',reecho of the hoe. members, a resolution of approval of
their conduct, and thanking them for their visit, wee adopted

It. T. Mills, vicar of Raise, attended to protest against the
introduction of Scripture readers into their parishes. Dr.
Knotty. solemnly protested against the intrusion of an un-
authonmd teacher into his parish—Brat, because the mole
cure and charge of all the souls in the aforesaid perish is
committed to his are alone; secondly, bemuse the mid
society has no more epiritual right or jurisdiction in hie
parch than " the Bishop of Rome bath in this realm of
England ;" and thirdly, bemuse such intrusion is at once
needless and mischievous.

mender, the Infante Don Francisco de Paula, all the
ministers. the great dignitaries of the state, and the
diplomatic body, amonget the latter Mr. Otway, Eng-
lish charge d'effairee. assembled at the palace the mo-
ment her Majesty's situation was coniumniceted to them,
end remained until the birth took piece, and the royal infant
vas ted to them. The event wee made known to the
on by the firing of cannon, and wise announced in
all the theatres. The Espana, in honour of the event,
appears with its first page decorated with an elegant
border and handed by three connote entitled " Bless-
