NATIONAL BANK OF TURKEY.

The demurrer filed by the Ottoman Bank to ;the
bill of the claimants to the concession for the Na-
tional Bank of Turkey was argued yesterday in the
Court of Chancery, and the Court decided on tech•
nical grounds that it was powerless to interfere to
prevent the Ottoman Bank from taking a concession
from the. Sultan, notwithstanding that there might
be a concession already granted to other parties in-
consistent with it. This decision was tc have been
expected, but it involves very serious consequences.
In effect it establishes that a foreign Sovereign may,
with impunity, set aside all his engagements made
with capitalists in this country, and enter into others
with other capitalists, if such be found willing to
be,parties to the transaction, and that the original
parties would have no appeal against such an act
of violence to any English court of law. To ex-
emplify this doctrine, the Sultan, having already
mortgaged the customs dues of the city of Constan-
tinople to the holders of a loan, might, in violation
of that engagement, grant another charge upon the
same revenues, with prior right over them in favour
of other capitalists in England or on the continent.
Hence the case presents very important considera-
tions to the British public in dealing with
foreign Sovereigns, and is ono well worthy of
consideration by the committee of the Stock Ex-
change. In the meantime, it appears that in the
suit instituted by a shareholder against the direc•
tors of the Ottoman Bank, the directors have been
compelled to give an engagement not to attempt
further proceedings in their arrangement towardE
transferring the property
of the Ottoman Bank
into a foreign

A LONG-LIVED it ACE.—Died, on the 19th inst., at
140, Mount-pleasant, Liverpool, aged 101 years, Mr.
David M'Vey, late of Workington. The deceased was a
native of Cumber, Ireland, and was cousin to the late
Bishop Ward, of the Isle of Man. The family of which he
was a member were remarkable for longevity, his maternal
grandmother having lived to the age of 103 years, his
mother to 100 years, and his sister, the wife of Mr. Isaac
Fletcher, yeoman, of Pardshaw, Cumberland, to 92 years;
his brother, who was present at his funeral, is now nearly
90 years old.

• SHIPS OF WAR FOR JAPAN.—Mr. Prnyn, the
Ametican Minister in Japan, has taken an order
from the Government in Japan to get built for that Go-
vernment two steam sloops of war, of 24 heavy guns each,
and one steam guiboat also with heavy guns, He wa
also to procure a rifling machine and field battery of six
guns, But on the arrival of these orders at Washington
Mr, Seward has written back to state that cannon cannot
be cast fast enough for the wants of the Federal service,
and therefore that part of the order cannot be executed, and
that Mr. Pruyn is to say to the Japanese Government that
his service in this matter must be entirely of an unofficial
character, The order has been handed to an agent.

Very heavy damages have been given against the
Whitehaven Junction Railway, in a trial at Cumber
land ass'Ees. The plaintiff, a farmer, was seriously injured
on the company's line in August, 1860, and the medicsl
evidence showed that ho would never recover his heal;
He asked 5,000 damages ; the railway company offered
£3,000, and the jury awarded him £4,500. It appears there,
were 24 passengers in the train when the accident ton*.

THE KINGSWOOD MURDER.

The German, Edward Schmidt, who stand°
charged upon his own confession, with the murder
of Mrs. Halliday, at the Kingswood Rectory, in
July, 1861, was yesterday brought before a bench
magistrates at Reigate fur further examination
upon that charge. The inquiry created very great
interest, and the Town-hall was crowded during
the proceedings.
It will be remembered that the prisoner gale
himself into custody at Hull, and admitted that be
was with the man Frantz, who was tried at Croy"
don for the murder at the Summer Assizes of 1861'
and acquitted, and that he was the man who coo'
mitted the offence ; and upon this statement he
was brought to Reigate to undergo examination!
and was remanded until yesterday, in order to effort'
an opportunity for the production of the pecans*?
evidence.

Inspector Coward, of the Surrey constabulary'
who was engaged in the original inquiry, not
informed the bench that since the prisoner had
been under remand in Horsemonger-lane gaol be
had taken two of the witnesses in the ease tn
see him, and they both stated, that he was IT".
the man who was in company with Frantz in
the neighbourhood of,Kingswood at the time the
murder was committed ; and Madame Tietjenef
who, it will be remembered, was also examined ee
a witness at the former trial, and who was alo°
taken to see him, expressed the same opinion.
In the course of the proceedings Mr. Pollaky in:
formed the magistrates, in answer to an inquiry
made by the Chairman, that he had come down toi
see the prisoner from a belief that he was one n,
the men who was supposed to have been concerned
in the murder of a French judge in a railway OW
riage between Paris and Lyons, three or four year;
ago, and when, it will be remembered the decease'
was at the same time robbed of 40,000 f. ; and he
produced a photograph of this individual that 138 a
,1
been sent to him by the French police, but be said
it did not at all resemble the prisoner, and he Oh
not believe he had anything to do with that affair'
The prisoner, who, it will be recollected, at the
former examination declared that he was not in any
way concerned in the murder, and that the state:
ment he had made at Hull was false, now repeated
the same defence, and declared that he was entirely
innocent of the alleged offence.
The magistrates told him he had no one to then!
but himself for the trouble he had got into; but, e;
there was no evidence to support the accusation, h

would now be set at liberty:
The prisoner, who is a miserable-looking Inagl
was then discharged, and a small subscription v 73:
made for him by the persons present for his inane
diate necessities, and to enable him to reach Londoof
where he said he wished to go.

ITALY.

TURIN, Feb. 27.
The Chamber of Deputies continued the debate
upon the proposed loan to-day.

The Minister of the Interior announced that he
would shortly bring in several bills relating to
home administration. He pointed out the necessity
of first satisfying the home interests of the country
before endeavouring to fulfil its desires for national
unity. He declared that Turin must continue to
be regarded as the capital of Italy until Rome could
be obtained.
A detachment of 16 soldiers has been surrounded
and defeated by a band of 60 brigands near Bene-
vento.

General La Marmora has left for that place.

atShnoeuotwcheoaroneden blockaders, and the new " Monitors"
are being absorbed as fast as they arrive for that
purpose. The movement on Charleston is appa-
rently deferred, partly on accountof the insufficiency
of the available force of iron-plated vessels, and
partly, it may be presumed, on account of some
bickerings between General Hunter and General
Foster. In the meantime rumour says that the
blow intended for Charleston may be delivered in
the first instance upon Savannah. For M'Alister,
on one of the approaches to that city, has been at-
tacked a second time by the Monitor Montauk, at
the cost to that ship of the starting of a few bolts,
and of some derangeraerit in the working of her
turret. The escape of the blockaders from the
South Carolinian rams arose, it appears, from their
position, and only escaped destruction by having
retreated out of range. Washington letters allege
that Mr. Seward confesses in a despatch that the
blocky de of Galveston " may have been interrupted,"
but that it " was resumed immediately, and will be
continued until further notice." This if true,
amounts to a notice of a new blockade of that port,
and may in chat sense be held to exempt vessels
now caught in the attempt ,to run into Galveston
from condemnation.

THE BRAZILIAN DIFFICULTY.-..-It transpired
yesterday that the Foreign-office has fixed the
amount it claims from the Brazilian Government, on ac-
count of the wreck the of the barque Prince of Wales at
£3,200. The amount for whiclt reprisals were made at Rio
de Janeiro was, it is stated in the correspondence laid be-
fore Parliament, £6,525 19s. There is consequently a re-
duction of one half the amount for which payment was re-
quired by the British ultimatum,

THE BLOCKADE OF GALVESTON.

(From the london Gazette of last Evening.)
FOREIGN OFFICE, FEB. 27.
It is hereby notified that Earl Russell, her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has re-
eeived from her Majesty's Minister at Washington a de-
spatch, dated Washington, Feb. 6, 18630f(oaf
nwohteicfhrotmhe
Mr.
lowing is an extract), enclosing a copy
Seward, dated Feb. 5, respecting the blockade of the port
of Galveston
I have the honour to enclose a copy of a note which I
received at two o'clock this afternoon from Mr. Seward,
stating that the blockade of Galveston was ' resumed imme- •
diately, and will be continued until further notice.' "
Department of State Washington, Feb. 5, 1863.
MY LORD,—As opinions may be entertained by mer-
chants interested in trade to the Port of Galveston, in
Texas, that the blockade of that port by a United States
naval force may. in consequence of recent events in that
quarter, have been interrupted, I have the honour to ac-
quaint you, with a view to obviate embarrassments to neu-
tral commerce, which might be occasioned by such opinions,
that the blockade was resumed immediately, and will be
continued until further notice. Although due notice of
such resumption will probably have been given by the com-
mander of the blockading squadron to vessels which may
attempt to enter Galveston, it is deemed advisable to com-
municate a similar notice to your lordship.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) W. 11. SEWARD.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

It appears that 53,968 ordinary shares were recorded in
favour of Mr. Anderson's amendment, and 48,433 for the
motion of the directors, showing a majoity of 5,535 ordinary
shares; and that 30,316 preference spares were recorded in
favour of the motion of the directors, and 2,196 in favour of
the amendment, showing a majority of 28,120 preference
shares ; the result being a majority of 22,585 shares, or 3,841
votes, in favour of the directors' motion for the adoption of
the report.

HULL AND SELBY.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Saturday at Hull, Mr. J. R. Pease in the chair. The Secre-
tary read the report, which stated that the balance in favour
of the company was L 33,557, and the directors recommended
that the dividends to be declared out of it should be L 2 9s.
6d. per whole, or £5O, share ; £1 4s. 9d. per half, or £25,
share; and 12s 40. per quarter share, on the capital stock
of the company, subject to deduction of income-tax retained
by the lessees. Mr. Whitaker was doted a director in the
room of Mr. T. Digby, deceased. The Chairman moved
that the report be received and adopted, and the dividends
therein recomended be declared. The motion having been
agreed to, the retiring directors were re-elected, and a vote
of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

STAINES, WORINGHAM, AND WOKING
The report of the directors states that the receipts on
capital account during the past half year amount to £1,200
for sale of surplus land, and the payments amount to £3,054.
The gross traffic receipts for the half year amount to £9,394,
against £8,404 in the corresponding period of 1861, showing
an increase of £990. The sum of £1,1999
carried forward at
the last meeting, has been applied towards liquidating
£2,091, the residue of the amount carried temporarily to the
debit of capital, and which is now reduced to £592. There
will remain £l,BOl, out of which the directors recommend
the proprietors to declare a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum on the preference shares, amounting, less income
tax, to £1,203, leaving a balance of £598.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
QIPPS V. GIPPS AND FIUME.
His lordship gave judgment in this case, which was be-
fore the Court a abort time ago. The learned judge referred
to the principal facts of the case, and sid it appeared to him
that the proceedings would never have been instituted if a
sum of £l,OOO had been paid. He thought the circumstance
as near collusion as possible, and that the petitioner ap-
peared to show but little compunction at the state his wife
had been living with the co-respondent. Having well con-
sidered the subject, he had made up his mind to dismiss the
petition.
Petition dismissed accordingly.
coon T. COOS.
This case also stood over for judgment. It will be
recollected that the suit was instituted by the wife against
the husband, the 1. cumbent of Scymer, Mr. Ipswich, who
sought for judicial separation on the ground of cruelty.
The petitioner said her husband treated her with the
greatest indignity, that he removed her from presiding at
the table at meals, that he took the keys from her and gave
them to hie daughter, and also that after she had left his
house through ill-treatment, he refused to allow his chil-
dren to visit it.
His lordship granted a decree nisi for dissolution.

SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
UPSETTING A COSTERMONGER AND HIS DONKEY.-BEADLY

V. BRASS.

This was an action to recover £3 3s for damage done to a

donkey.
Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, said that his client was a
costermonger, who owned a nice little donkey, and on the
19th December plaintiff was in Duke's-place. He was
standing still, and the defendant's man came up with a
heavy cart. Though called on to stop, he refused, and
went right on running over the poor little donkey and in-
juring his foot.
Plaintiff and a witness proved the above facts, and added
that defendant's driver was told what would be the result
of his recklessness, but he ran right on.
Defendant's clerk said that the man had left the service
of Mr. Brass, and it was not likely he would have gone
on in such a ulauuer. _ _ .

His Honour considered that in the absence of the driver
it would be impossible for defendant to dispute the case.
Defendant must pay for the donkey.
Mr, Buchanan applied for the oosts, which were obtained.

IMP ERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolse ck
at the usual hour.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

The Earl of DERBY said a question had been put the
other evening by a noble friend as to the bills it was 'pro-
posed to proceed with at an early period of the sesedon.
Undoubtedly, it would be of the highest importance that
some exact information should be given as to what
those measures were which were dimly shadowed
forth in her Majesty's Speech. He should, therefore,
like to know the title of the bills that were to be
taken into consideration before Easter. There was also
another subject that was exciting great interest : he alluded
to the Brazils. Had the noble earl the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs been in his place he should have asked
him when it was likely the papers connected with
that subject would be laid on the table of the house. He
would not, in his absence, press for the opinion of the Go-
vernment as to the conduct of their agent, but he hoped
they would be able to disprove those charges of arbitrary
and unjust conduct, which appeared to be well founded.
Earl GRANVILLE said the papers on Brazil were
being prepared with the utmost despatch. The noble earl
had himself said there were very few measures which could
be proceeded with before Easter, but there was one which
would be introduced, and that was with respect to the pol-
lution of rivers by noxious vapours, and reform of chemical
works.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY explained that the
measure in question would be confined to the refuse dis-
charged from alkali works.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

NEW MEMBER.

Lord GEORGE MANNERS took the oaths and his seat for
Cambridgeshire.
THAMES CONSERVANCY BILL.

AN HON. MEMBER, to the like effect, and that farm
stock may be no longer exempt from its operation.

EPPING FOREST.
Mr. COX, in favour of the retention of the forest for the
use of the public.

favour of this bill.
Col. DUNNE, from Blackwater, near Dublin, to the
like effect.

SUGAR.
Alderman SIDNEY, from Stafford, for an equalisation
of the sugar duties.

INCOME TAX.

Mr. G. PACKE, complaining of the inquisitorial nature
of this tax, and in favour of its modification.
The Confederate Blockade Squadron.

Mr. BENTINCK gave notice that he should to-morrow
ask the noble lord at the head of the Government whether
he was in possession of any official information upon the
subject of the reported defeat by the Confederates of the
blockading squadron in Charleston harbour, and whether it
was of such a nature as to raise a question as to the legality
of the future blockade of that port.
