The Western Bank,
---- ---

The Court of Session, in a case lately argued
before the whole court, has, by a we jority of the
judges, decided against the liquidator of the Wes-
tern Bank in an action which sought to make a
body of trustees personally liable for the calls made
upon the partners in addition to the loss of the paid
up capital. The hank stopped payment in 1857, and
it was found that not only had the whole capital
been lost, but heavy calls must bo made upon the
shareholders to pay the creditora and depositors of
the bank, who, by means of these calls, have been
paid in full. Theee calls a great number of the
shareholders were quite unable to pay, and compo-
sitions were effected with those able to pay only a
part. A portion of these superadvances has been
returned to those who paid in full, and in order to
increase that return, the only remaining liquidator
(Mr. Lumsden) is still engaged in:several litigations
with parties who have resisted his claims on them.
In the present case Mr. Walter Buchanan, M.P.,
and other five gentlemen were registered as holding
60 shares as trustees for Mrs. Ellen Browne. These
gentlemen had accepted the trust under the mar-
riage contract of Mr. C. W. Browne and Miss Ellen
Buchan in October, 1815, and within a month after
their appointment they invested the whole trust
funds, about £4,000 or £5,000, in Western Bank
shares. The defenders pleaded that they were not
liable beyond the amount of the trust estate for pay_
meat of thediquidator'a calls, and the Lord Ordinary
(Kinloch) found in their favour. The interlocutor
was reclaimed to the First Division, who ordered
written argument, and laid the question of the trus-
tees' personal liability before the' whole court.
Eight out of 12 judges, including Lord Kinloch,
were of opinion that the defenders were not person-
ally responsible. The minority of the judges held
that the defenders were liable, with the exception
of one of their number, who was not present when
the trustees resolved to purchase the shares, and
who did not sign the deed, of transfer. Lord Kin-
loch's decision is therefore adhered to by the court.
Long opinions have been given by the judges in the
case. On Friday the court, proceeding on a mi-
nute of abandonment by the liquidator, dismissed
the action, at his instance, against Messrs. William
and James Baird, directors of the bank, who had
not joined in the composition offered by their
brother directors.

THE ASSAULT EY A CLERGYMAN AT LOWES-
TOFT.—At the Lowestoft Police-court, last week, the Rev.
Henry Jodrell, of Gisleham, in the county of Suffolk, was
charged with having unlawfully assaulted and beaten Geo.
H. Cherry, an officer of her Majesty's Indian army, on the
sth of February instant. The defendant pleaded guilty
to the charge, and said he was quite content to submit to
anything the magistrates might think proper to inflict. The
bench ordered him to pay a fine of £5, or two months' hn-
Fisonment.

the following letter, with which we have b:en
favoured, is from a private in the Ist Regiment of
the Danish army, and is addressed to his brother :
SONDERBORG, Feb. 8, 1861.
You ask me to give you a full account of all I
have gone through during the memorable 6th-B,h
February ; but, to look back, these two days seem
es long as two months. I cannot put all I would
like to tell you into one letter, but you must at any
rate know the following.
On Friday evening, at nine o'clock, I lay in the
works, along with several others or our company,
congratulating myself on being there safe and sound
after the sharp fighting we had had. We hod got
our pipes lighted, and were chatting about the affair
at Bautrup, in which you know I took part, when
a sergeant came by, shouting, "Into position im
roediAtely." We were on our legs in a moment,
and ten minutes afterwards the regiment stood
ready to march. Our company numbered then
four officers, ten sergeants, sixteen corporals, and
a hundred and eighty-one privates. Our brave
Colonel Beck rode along before us, and said—" Yes,
children, there will be stiff work for us, but I know
I can depend on you. To the left, March !" and
off we set. I believed, as did most, that we were
on the road to Missunde, but when we left the
town behind us, we heard the sad truth from Lieu-
tenant Itiebau. I spare you all the oaths and growls
which passed from rank to rank. I was silent, but
my imagination pictured a retreat full of horrors;
truly my imagination felt short of the reality. How
that terrible night between Friday and Saturday
passed I know not, as I literally slept, staggering
along with. my blessed 7-5 kit, and my elegant ttfitt
leather boots (my thick pair had been hors do, tom-
bat for several days). The boots pained me be-
yond expression ; I felt as if walking on thorns. I
have a dim recollection of being in a house, and get-
ting a glass of milk frozen over ; of seeing the long
spectre-like line of the army in the freezing cold
night, trudge along the slippery road ; of seeing
horses and overturned carriages ; but I repeat, I was
asleep... Far three nights I had not had in all four
hours sleep, and the march and my ill-humour put
me all out of sorts; so we went on up hill and down
hill till eight o'clock next morning, when we made
halt at a little village. I went into a house where
there was an old woman, and she gave me a cap of
delightful coffee or rather chicory; but never did
Gianelii's J2s. coffee taste half so delicious. Add
to that a biscuit hard as stone, and a piece of half-
frozen pork, and you have my meal, which, however,
strengthened me exceedingly. An hour afterwards
we resumed our march.

ORIGIN OF " YELLOWP LUSH" AND " JEAMES."—
It is in the number [of Frazer] for the month and
year referred to (Nov., 1837) that we first find him contri-
bnting a paper which is not reprinted in his " Miscellanies,"
and which is interesting as explaining the origin of that
assumed character of a footman in which the author of the
"Yellowplush Papers" and " Jeames's Diary" afterward.
took delight. A little volume had been published in
1837, entitled "My Book; or, the Anatomy of Conduct,
by John Henry Skelton." The writer of this absurd book
had been a woollen-draper in the neighbourhood of Regent-
street. He had become possessed of the fixed idea that
ho was destined to become the instructer of mankind
in the true art of etiquette. He gave parties to the
best company whom he could induce to eat his
dinners and assemble at his conversaziones, where his
amiable delusion was the frequent subject of the jokes of
his friends. Skelton, however, felt them little. He spent
what fortune ho had, and brought himself to a position in
which his fashionable acquaintances no longer troubled
him with their attentions ; but he did not cease to be in
his own estimation a model of deportment, He
husbanded his small resources, limiting himself to an
humble dinner daily at a coffeehouse in the neighbourhood
of his old home, where his perfectly fitting dress .coat- for
in this article he was still enabled to shine—his brown wig
and dyed whiskers, his ample white cravat of the style of
the Prince Regent's days, and his well-polished boots were
long destined to raise the character of the house on which
be bestowed his patronage. In the days of his prosperity
Skelton was understood among his acquaintances to be en-
gaged on a work which should hand down to posterity the
true code of etiquette—that body of the unwritten.
law which regulated the society of the time of la'rs
favourite monarch. In the enforced retirement of his lass
prosperous days, tue woollen-draper's literary design had
to develop itself ; and, in the year 1837, "My Book ; or,
the Anatomy of Conduct, by John Henry Skelton," was
finally given to the world. It was this little volume which
fell in the way of Thackeray, who undertook to review it for
Fraser's Magazine." In order to do full justice to the
work, nothing seemed more proper than to present the re-
viewer in the assumed character of a fashionable footman.
The review, therefore, took the form of a letter from Char les
___.-,
Yellowplush, Esq , containing "Fashionable fax and IY into
Annygoats," dated from "No. Grosvenor-str uare.
(N.B. Hairy Bell)," and addressed to Oliver Yorke, the
well-known pseudonym of the editor of "Fraser." To this
accident may be attributed those extraordinary efforts of
cacography which had their germ in the Cambridg 9 "Snob,"
but which attained their full development in,' the Miscel-
lanies, the Ballads, the Snob papers, and other short works,
and also in some portions of the latest of the author's
novels,—,Tho*ro ToyNes Allemori4 of 214 gvi.ay.

The road was perfectly full of carriages and guns,
and a regiment of dragoons rode past us, keeping in
the fields, as the horses stumbled so much on the
frozen road. At 12 o'clock we had again a rest,
while company on company marched past us. ....
As I made for my company, which was a little
outside the town, our sergeant said to me, " Do you
hear the Austrians ?" and now I could hear in good
earnest the rambling in the distance. " Close in !"
cried the sub-officers; whips cracked on the spent
horses, and here and there one fell. " Oat with it
to the side, and cut it loose, if it cannot rise," and
on we went. A whole waggonfull of commissariat
monsters, supplied with large cloaks and footstools,
had, sad to say, to leave their comfortable seats,
and go on foot till they found another conveyance.
The thunder of the cannon came nearer and nearer.
" Company, attention ! Left face ! March south,"
and we turned on our own steps. We met now
several battalions, and at last the 9th and 11th
Regiments. The latter greeted us with " Hurrah
for the Kulsviers I" and a soldier with a hoarse
bass voice growled, holding up his bayonet, " See
that you give them a good allowance of this," and
away they went northwards. We were alone. Col.
Beck now came forward and said to the men--" The
General trusts to you to hold out ; if we hold here for
two hours we save a whole division. D 3 not fire till
the enemy is on you, and then in with the bayonet."
4. Depend on-irk; We:l—do dim- duty." I know you
will, children." We then moved into a field to the
left, then in a line over a slight rising ground, and
as soon as we had passed the acclivity, there we had
the Germans. From the east came a regiment of
cavalry, and right along the high road another,
while a company of horse artillery rode at the
gallop into a field a little way off, and boom they
went. A shell struck between me and the man at
my side, and rose again, ricochetting 20 paces from
me. A fearful cry told that it had done its work.
After a quarter of an hour had passed, we were
formed into a square, and down came the cavalry,
shouting and cheering, with their sabres raised,
some of them discharging their pistols—" Stand
fast, aim well, lads!" The dragoons broke and
fled, leaving many horses and men behind them.
" Fall into :line—forward," forward we went—
then shells again from the artillery—then into
squares to meet another charge of the cavalry,
whom we again beat off. So it went on for two
hours, our ranks getting fearfully thin. We got
breath for a moment, and I heard a voice near
me whisper—" Farewell, my Marie ! Farewell, my
dear little ones." The words touched me deeply ;
they came from a brave comrade from the neigh-
bourhood of Roesbilde, who regularly received a
letter every post day, and who as regularly himself
wrote loving words to his dear ones at home; I
pressed his hand and whispered—" God never
deserts the widow and the fatherless." "Thank
you," he said, and loaded again. (I know you will
be pleased to hear that this brave modest fellow is
still alive.) As it got dark, the enemy charged
again and again, and, alas ! one company got broken ;
it was a frightful moment, we heard the sabres and
bayonets rattling, and wild shouts from either side.
Our square held firm, although we were charged at
least twenty times. At last I had not a cartridge
left, and had to help myself to those of my fallen
comrades. At last the night fell, the snow held off
for a little, and we drew slowly back through a
wood and through several villages, stopping every
moment to take down the most troublesome of the
dragoons in our rear. Between eight and nine
o'clock, we reached Flensburg, had two hours' rest,
and then got on board a steamer, which brought us
to Sonderborg. At ten o'clock, twenty of us were
quartered on a workman who lives immediately out
of the town. Our condition when we reached Flens-
burg was pitiful. The gallant regiment was now a
mere ruin, not more than fifty of our company were
in all to the fore. Bat, God be praised ! already toe
day our numbers have swelled, and many dear come
rades are again collected round the tattered red rag
which we love so well. A colonel came forward
while we put ourselves into
position, and said,—
"I thank you, gallant Ist Regiment. God bless
you!" When we passed other divisions they
shouted "Hurrah." Yes, at one place a standard
was lowered before nEI. We may well be proud.
The enemy must have suffered frightfully, es
they charged on us quite blindly, and masses of their
dead and wounded lay on the snow and dyed it
red ; but the cursed shells and grenades which they
N. N. threw in on -us cost us man brave men.

ExTRAORDINARY SUICIDE IN' THE THAMES
TUNNy.,LL.-- This morning, shortly after 8 o'clock,
a respectably.dressed middle-aged man entered the Thames
Tut, nell, upon the 'Yapping side, and, after going a few
stel)s down the shaft he leaped over the bannisters and fell
a corpse at the bottom. He was brought up on the
Napping side of the river, and taken upon a stretcher by
three of the Thames police and a man named Wood (who
is the Thames Tunnell Company's bricklayer, &c.) to a
suitable place to await the coroner's inquest. The unfor-
tunate man is quite unknown at present.
CLIFTON SUSPENSION-BRlDGE.—During the past
week the fixing of the third of the main chains
which form the eastern side of the Clifton Suspension-bridge
has been completed, and preparations have been made for
shifting the wire ropes on which the temporary platform
lies rested to the western side of the bridge. The woodwork
has already been removed,
pathway across the chasm, aand, to preserve a temporary
smaller platform has been con-
structed, the supp,rts of which are firmly bolted to the
lower chain. This platform, which runs along the off side
of the chains, will be used for fixing the suspension rode,
&e. The erection of the western main chains will, it is ex-
pected, proceed more quickly than the eastern, because
many of the arrangements made for the one just completed
aro ready for the other, and the period of the year now ap-
proaching is more favourable to the progress of such work
than that during which the eastern tup.iu chine hare h pea
erected.
