LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

COURT OF B ANKRUPTCY.
IN RE SIR A. J. D. TITCHBORNE.
A meeting of creditors was held under this estate for the
purpose of considering a proposition to raise a sum of money
for the payment of the creditors 20s. in the pound. Mr.
Lawrence stated that the debts were about £40,000, and
£44,000 could be raised on the bankrupt's interest over the
property, &c. The creditors present assented to the pro-
position, which will no doubt be carried into effect, by ob-
taining the assent of other creditors to the extent of three-
fourths of the whole number, and the bankruptcy will be
superseded. _ .

There was a fair attendance this afternoon, a large pro- I
portion of members being induced to pay a visit to the rooms
in expectation of healing the final decision on the Tomato
case, but, as the sequel will show, to be once more disap-
pointed. Settling on the past week's racing was proceeded
with as soon as subscribers began to drop in, and was carried
on with every appearance of money being "all there."
Betting on future events was desultory, while all over the
lawn members grouped themselves, and indulged in specu-
lative discussions on the interminable Fern Hill Stakes case
and its influence upon future turf disputes. At intervals,
however, attention was turned to forthcoming events, and
some heavy investments were made on the Nottingham
Handicap and Goodwood Stakes. For the latter Anfield
was made a warm favourite, and after opening at 8 to 1, at
which he was supported for all the money that could be got
on, layers pulled up half a point, but even at 5 to 2 the
backers of :Mr. Greville's horse were so " fond " that
they continued to invest at the latter price. Later on,
however, a well-known bookmaker laid £llO to £4O,
and an offer to repeat the operation was quickly re-
sponded to. 100 to 15 was accepted about Bellman, 10 to
1 was offered " bar two." There was a disposition in cer-
tain quarters to back linutsford, who, it would appear, is
not quite "gone" Set; during the afternoon 20 to 1 was
the longest price obtainable. The Cup betting was merely
nominal, and speculation on the St Leger or Derby
was almost a dead letter. Before the close of the rooms it
was announced that " the committee" would meet at four
o'clock on Thursday next to give their final ultimatum in
the Tomato case. The following is the correspondence
which has passed between the committee of Tattersall's and
Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., on the Tomato case, which may take
rank among the causes celebres of the British turf :
" Assuming that the disputed bets on Tomato were refer-
red by proper authority to the committee of Tattersall's,
either as the est iblished tribunal for the settling of such
disputes, or by the consent of the parties interested in the
particular case, and also assuming that there is no recog-
nised custom to justify the tout se adopted by Admiral Rous,
I am of opinion that the committee had no right to delegate
to others who were not members of its body the decision of
a question which was submitted to itself.
" Although it might be open to the committee to call in
the counsel of others, and to adopt their views as the ground
of its own decision, there does not appear to have been any
such adoption in this case ; and the decision seems to have
proceeded on the authority of Messrs. Sturt and Onslow
alone ; I am of opinion, therefore, that the decision ought
not to be considered binding, and that the committee is
bound to decide for itself._

(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
IN RE BOUCTCAULT.
A meeting was held tor choice of assignees in the case of
this bankrupt, the lessee of the Theatre Royal West-
minqer, &c.
There was a strong contest, Mr. Lawrancc proposing one
list, and Mr. C. E. Lewis another.
Up to one o'clock debts to the extent of about £38,000
had been proved and the case was proceeding.

SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
DODGE V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action to recover £3O 17s. 6d. damages for
delay in the delivery of certain goods entrusted to the de •
Pendants for carriage to Limerick.

Mr. Hand, of Coleman-street, for the plaintiff, said his
client had for many years past supplied the Waterford and
Limerick Railway Company with indiarubber goods. These
goods had invariably been sent to Martin Flock, Esq., and
had reached their destination. The parcel now in question,
however, miscarried, and the company would endeavour to
show in consequence of a misdirection. Now the person in
authority at the Waterford and Limerick Railway was not
Flock, but stock, and he (Mr. Hand) would show that par-
cels directed Flock had reached his hands both before and
after this one.

Mr. Dodge said he was a manufacturer of indiarubber
goods, of Dowgate-hill. Recollected the parcel being di-
rected to Martin Flock, Esq., Limerick Railway Co., via
Bristol and Cork. That was the ordinary mode of send-
ong it.

Crass-examined by Mr. Hartell—l do not know what
address was on the parcel wnen it got to L;merick at last.
Mr. Atock refused to receive it, as it was so late.

Mr. Atock proved that he had received parcels and letters
directed to Flock, Block, Cock, Slock, and many other
names. They had reached his hands safely.
Mr. Hartell then called a gentleman in defendants' ser-
vice, who said that the goods reached a point of the line
when he saw them. The address was M. Flock, Limerick,
and they could not find such a person. The address was
an ordinary railway label.
Mr. Hand—And our address was on a card sown on the
bale—in addition to which I have a letter from the company
showing the parcel to have been last at Bristol,
. .

" I have, however, assumed the absence of any custom to
warrant the course taken by Admiral Rous in calling in the
assistance of Messrs. Sturt and Onslow, and that the com-
mittee did not adopt their views and pronounce an opinion
in accordance with it ; but it I be mistaken in these respects
—if it be the custom to adopt such a course where the mem-
bers of the committee are themselves interested; and the
committee acted in conformity with that custom, and
adopted the decision as its own—l should say that in a case
like this, where the obligation is honorary, and the object
is to afford a safe guide for men of honour upon a doubtful
question, the decision ought to be withheld.
(Signed) " P. FRED. O'MALLEY.

His Honour found that there was no defence to the ac-

tion, as the only question was one of misdirection. If the
direction was altered (and it appeared to be by defendants'
servants) defendants were liable.
Verdict for plaintiff, with full costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

" July 3, 1563."
'From the Committee of Tattersall's Subscription. room

to Mr. O'Malley, Q.C.

"The committee being unable to gather from Mr, ( 'Mal-
ley's opinion whether he thinks the Tomato case ought or
ought not to be re-opened, beg he will have the goodness to
give a definite answer— yes or no—to the question whether
the original award should stand good,"
MR. O'MALLEY'S SECOND OPINION.

"My answer to the question put to me being required
immediately after the papers were laid before me, and the
case itself not furnishing all the information I desired as to
the custom in such cases, I amobliged to give my answer in
the alternative. But from the information supplied to me
I am clearly of opinion that the original award of Messrs.
Sturt and Onslow should not stand good.
(Signed) "P. FRED. O'MALLEY.

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

(From the Times' correspondent.)
NEw YORK, July 7.
The three days of Gettysburg have saved Wash-
ington, Baltimorse and Philadelphia. Gen, Meade,
brave, modest, and master of his business sized re-
sources, has done what Gen. M'Clellan did twice
before. He has rescued the Federal capital from the
disgrace of hostile occupation, and cleared the soil
of the North from the presence of the invader. The
great result has been purchased by the lives of
30,000 men, of 'whom as many died on the one side
as on the other. Beyond this, and considered as
bringing the war nearer to its termination, the
awful carnage of those bloody battlefields has been
utterly in vain. North and South have so many
citizens the less; the North has won prestige, and
the South has lost it; and both have learnt the
lesson that, in this rarticular quarrel, he is strongest
who stands on his own soil upon the defective. No
other result is apparent_ At this moment no one
knows the exact position of Gen. Lee, who has been
repulsed with as great bravery as he attacked, de-
feated in his immediate object and compelled to
retreat, but who is still at the head of a numerous
army, master of the mountain passes through
which no enemy can follow him, and ready to dis-
pute the advance of the foe upon Southern territory
with as much obstinacy as that with which he him-
self was confronted at the then obscure, but now for
ever memorable little town of Gettysburg. The
Federal Government and people are naturally much
elated at a success on which a few days ago it
seemed over sanguine to calculate, and, with cha-
racteristic elasticity of spirit, as jubilant as if the
war were over, and nothing more was to be
done but to grant a general amnesty and
shake hands all round over the restoration of the
Union. And as, according to the proverb, "it
never rains but it pours," the North, well con-
tented with one victory, has been rewarded by a
second. Vicksburg there is no reason to disbelieve
has actually fallen. A short Caesarean despatch
from Admiral Porter to the Secretary of the Navy
announced that it surrendered to the United States'
forces on the 4th of July. Another non-official
despatch, via Cairo, confirmed the statement, adding
that General Pemberton, ou the morning of the na-
tional anniversary, offered to surrender if allowed
to march out with the honours of war; that Gene-
ral Grant would listen to no terms ; and that, after
consultation with his officers, General Pemberton
surrendered unconditionally. The friends of the
South in this city do not know upon whom to vent
their wrath at this unlooked-for catastrophe. Some
blame the inaction of General Joseph Johnstone,
who, they affir►n, was in a position, with ordinary
energy and enterprise, to have raised the siege a
week ago, while others openly accuse General Pem-
berton, who is a Northern man and a native of
Philadelphia, of treachery, and the receipt of a
heavy bribe from the Federal Government to sur-
render on the 4th of July, with a view to theatrical
effect. However the truth may be, it should be
remembered that this is not the first time that a
similar accusation has been raised against the Ge-
neral by the Southern press at Richmond, as well
as by the sympathisers with the South in this city,
and that early in June last he issued a proclama-
tion to the garrison of Vicksburg denying that he
would sell Vicksburg, and stating that only when
the last pouna of food had been consumed and the
last man perished in the trenches would he surren-
der the city. These were brave words. They have
not been followed up by deeds equally desperate,
and until the actual truth be known General Pem.
berton may blame his own braggadocio for the sus-
picion which has fallen upon him.
People who were so remarkably careless and in-
different last week under the prospect of invasion
explain that the indifference was the result of
knowledge and of well-based confidence, not of
ignorance or apathy, and that they knew there
never was the least danger to any of the cities of
the North, and especially to Washington. When
Wall-street learnt on the unsafe authority of the
"sensation" journals that Lee was utterly routed
and in full flight to the Potomac, which he was
certain never to reach, it measured the results of
General Meade's victory by a fall of six per cent. in
the price of gold, and a rise of two and three per
cent. in the value of Government securities ; but
taking counsel of the last official despatch of Gen.
Meade, and calmly reviewing the whole circum-
stances, it modified its opinion, and sent gold up
and securities down again by about one-half their
previous rise. To-day the feeling was much less
hopeful than it was yesterday. Until late in the
afternoon, when the capture of Vicksburg was an-
nounced, gold slid down rapidly to 331, a lower
point than it has touched for six or eight months.
Prior to that windfall of good fortune cautious men
declared that the backbone of the rebellion was not
broken; that the end was no nearer than it was be

fore; that the capture of Vicksburg grew less pro-
bable every hour; that Gen. Banks was not alone
in danger of defeat, but of enforced surrender at
Port Hudson ; that all the recent advantages gained

by the Federals were idle and transitory as a name
written in water; that New Orleans would probably
share the fate of Gen. Banks, if that were adverse;
that a Federal advance to Richmond, which hot
headed zealots were again urging, would restore
to General Lee the opportunity of victory which
he let slip at Gettysburg ; and that short of
European intermediation there was no agency
whatever that could bid Vie sullen and resolute
South and the vain but unstable North make up
their difference, and consent to dwell apart, two in
political and social sentiment, but one perhaps in
the amicable relations of commerce. But upon the
confirmation of the news the public sentiment took
once more a hopeful turn. Gen. Banks it was
thought would assuredly be reinforced by General
Grant, the Mississippi would be free from its source
to its mouth, and the South would sue for peace. It
is here that the Northern people fall into deplorable
error. They know that they love the Union them-
selves, and cannot understand that the South should
abhor it. The war has been hammering the truth
into the Northern mind with very hard blows ; but
the Northern mind has not been ductile to receive
it, In adversity the Northern people may have be-
lieved to a qualified extent in Southern estrange-
ment; but in prosperity they refuse to admit that
any American can in his heart be false to a Union
which has made America one of the Great Powers
of the earth. Nevertheless, the question of interven-
tion or intermediation, of which rumours mole or
less precise and authentic continue to arrive by
every mail from Europe, scarcely excites the same
jealous hostility as betore. If England aLd France,
with or without the aid of Spain and other Powers,
were to propose an armistice, the signs are that the
great bulk of the Northern and North-western peo-
ple would agree to the proposal after a faint pro-
test. The forced conscription—to which the Federal
Government must resort, or die—is so odious to the
whole people of a fighting age that foreign media-
tion would be accepted, if only for the certainty that
it would put an end to all danger from this
source. If the war is to continue even for a
twelvemonth Mr. Lincoln must have a new army of
at least a quarter of a million of men, He cannot
get such an army, or a third of it, by voluntary
enlistment ; nor by the persuasive power of all the
greenbacks that Mr. Chase's steam engines can
pint off, if they work night and day, to fill the
poekei:s of Irish and German mercenaries; and the
aid of the negro, even to the extent of onl
General
y 10,000
men, is not to be obtained, even though

, FATAL ACCIDENT AT WIMBLEDON.—About
o'clock yesterday a fatal accident happened to a man who
was engaged in cutting grass on the railway bank at the
Wimbledon station, South. Western line. While in the act
of crossing the rails he was struck by a down train, and
instantly killed. The unfortunate man was endeavouring
to get out of the way of an up train, and did not observe the
other approaching.
THE ALLEGED CAPTURE OF THE MOSES TAYLOR
BY THE ALABAMA.—From the shipping reports received at
Lloyd's yesterday, it appears that the alleged capture of the
Moses Taylor steamer by the Alabama is without founda-
tion, the arrival of that vessel at San Francisco on the 7th
June from San Juan del Stir being officially reported. '
GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Mary Shep-
herd, 905 tons, belonging to Mr. Litchfield Green,
London, arrived at Adelaind, South Australia, on the 18th
April last, with 273 Government emigrants, under the care
of Clarence Chapman, Esq., surgeon superintendent, two
deaths and four births having taken place on the voyage.
The Warren Hastings, 566 tons, belonging to Messrs T.
and W. Smith, London, arrived at Brisbane, Queensland,
on the 26th April last, with 251 Government emigrants,
under the care of Charles Taylor, Esq , surgeon superin-
tendent; two deaths and three births took place on board.
ExEcrrriort IN POLAND.—A communication
from Kielce (Poland), of the 15th, says:—" A
gibbet was this day erected here for the execution of a
young man 22 years of age, named Joseph Gutowski, of
Skierniwice. From the commencement of the tnsurrec
tion, he had constantly fought in the Polish ranks. He
was taken prisoner in Czachowski's last engagement, and
brought to this town with several of his companions. Being
accused by a Russian scldier of having taken an activepart
in hanging Captain Nikiforaw, he found his trial short,and
General Czengiery condemned him to be hanged, though
the evidence against him amounted to little more than sus-
picion. The prisoner was paraded round the town in a
cart, accompanied by the Abbe Englisa. The calm expres-
sion of Guzowaki's countenance contrasted strangely with
the sorrowful aspect of the priest. He died collected and
firm amidst the tears of the whole population, who crowded
the streets 4n the vicinity of the Warsaw-gate, where the
gibbet was erected. This is another victim to add to the
long list of Polish martyrs."
" POLAND," says a quaint old proverb, "is the
peasant's hell, the Jew's paradise, tho burgher's purgatory,
the nobleman's heaven, and the stranger's goldmine."

A young "lady," named Frances Shaw, whose
connexions are for the most part wealthy people, was yes-
terday committed for trial, by the Liverpool magistrates, for
having stolen some electro-plate forks, from the shop of a
local tradesman,
Sir George Grey bee recently been suffering from
an attack of bronclaitig•
A destructive fire occurred three days since at
Savy-Berlette (Pas-de-Calais), and spread with sUela
rapidity that in less than ten minutes fourteen houses were
in a blare. M. Caudron, the mayor of the town, had a
narrow escape; for, having entered one of the houses
in the hope of saving part of the furniture, his retreat was
cut off by the flames, and he was obliged to take refuge in
the cellar, whence he was with difficulty rescued from suffo-
cation by the firemen. The houses were not insured.
M. Ponsard, of the French Academy, was married
on Saturday to Madlle. Dormoy, at the Church of the
Trinity. The witnesses on the occasion were MM. Bixio,
Villemain, Cousin, and Jules Sandeau.
The large house in the Rue Basse-du-Rempart,
facing the Rue de la Pais, which has so long prevented the
regularisation of the approach to the new Opera from
boulevard, is to be pulled down immmediatety, and the ma-
terials are advertised for sale.

THE WEST HARTLEPOOL DOCK BILL.

The E,xl of DONOUGHMORE called attention to an
article published in the Stockton and Hartlepool Mercury,
which accused him of corrupt motives in performing his
duty as chairman of the committee who considered the West
Hartlepool Docks and Railway Bill. The article asserted
that he had been biased in his conduct in the chair by
reason of a kinsman of his, Sir Henry Christmas, haVing
some interest which was affected by the bill.
Earl GRANVILLE said that the noble lord's conduct,
instead of being biased, had been highly creditable. The
usual course in these matters was to call on the printer and
publisher to the bar, but as the newspaper in question was
so little known he thought no further notice need be
taken of the matter.

Lord REDESDALE said the editor ought to feel in-
debted to the noble earl for not moving that he be called to
the bar, as the attack was altogether without foundation.
The Earl of DONOUGHMORE then stated that he
should follow the suggestions of the noble earl, and take no
further notice of the circumstance.
