THE CURRENCY.

The following is a copy 01 a pe,ition to the House of
Commons, from the Chamber of Commerce, Glasgow, oa
the abject of the currency :
The petition, &c., humbly shc,weth, " Ti at this Cham-
ber consider convertibility to be an e>sential element in
a souird paper currency; and while thy protest against
the irnpolicy of legislati se interference with the internal
management of banks of mane, tr..), hold it to be indis-
pensable that the notes of such batiks should be, by law,
payable in gold on di-mewl.
Thai the exist.ng Acts provide no security !'or the
convertibility of bank notes, and that convt rtibi;ity can-
not be secured by any statutory rest-11;e tit gold, which
is insuffieiero to ccv,r the N hoic obligations of the bank
to pay on demand.
" That deposits in baths of issue, and the notes of these
banks in the bands of the 141-410, are equally payable on
demand; and that gold may be drintaid,-d for the one as
well as the other. •

" That a demand for Kidd f,r exportation must always
operate through deposits it, th, bank, because the notes
in active circulation, LS current:), being old) used for
daily rxpencliture iu transtcui.ns between dealer and
COnSUITIVr, and being held ni s:, all sums, in many hands,
ar, not employed as translerA of evital, and are never
presented for payment in gold, exetpt when suspicions
arise of the soiv ney of the bank.
"That a run for gold, caused by sulricions of insol-
vency, must opera a through deposits, as wt 11 as by notes
in the hunt's of the public ; and deposits being in fewer
hands and tix large amounts, must exhaust any resarve
of gold, before a titl.e of the roo-s circulating in the
country, and at a dist.orcefrt•in the Bunk, can be pi esented
fur payment.
" That the large capital and unlimited liability of part-
ners in the Scorch .bririke are not only ad sufficient, but
the only security for the convertibility of their notes,
that this i- Fern ctl) we II tnitierstr off, turd relied on by
the people of Scotlblid. win; cannot believe that one
firth ,n three hund,,d thous.tnti pounds of gold, held by
the banks under the existing Act, i,any security for the
payment of thrr e :Aid a halt o+ notes in circu-
lation, and atm thirty millions of deposits payable ou
demand.

That the existing :\ cts for regulating the currency
are inconvenient and expt Delve in their op. ration ; and,
while they do not secure the convertibility of notes,
neither can they cl.i ck over-trading, the tacilities fur
which are itnpr-vident adiauces of capital, and nut ex-
traordiwary expans;ons of currency.
" That in the I.r.,ent crisis, when the country is
placed In unusual difficulties, froar the diminution of
floating capital, availatne tor purpt.,es (Aeon:melee ; and

hat the very large amount of gold circulating in

ments for regulating the issues of the Bank of England

solved, very wisely and considerately, to refrain from
ptunginz the division thus early into an excitement
of an election. Neither the Hon. H. T. Liddell nor
Lord Seaham, for aught that the Liberals know, may
vet take the field. So far, Colonel Beckwith and
Mr. Duncombe Shafto are the only candidates for
the representation of Durham in the next Parliament.
It may be too much to expect that they will be
elected without opposition ; but, at any rate, until
the Tories pick up the glove, or betray some inclina-
tion to do so, the Liberals may very well remain quiet.
Should the Tories give them battle, the course of
'w'ion is plain. There must be no distrust or dissen-
sion amongst the supporters of the Colonel and Mr.
Shafto. The great bulk of the Liberal electors will
sanction no half measures—no splitting. "Beck-
with and Shafto," or " Shafto and Beckwith," must
be the vote.—Gateshead Observer.
SOUTH DUNHAM.—The two divisions of our county
are now, in one respect, in the same position. Mr.
Hedwo;th Lambton has resigned in the north, Mr.
John Bowes in the south. Mr. Lambton's health de-
mands privacy and ease. Mr. Bowes's purse protests
against another contest, The Tories, in fact, have
won the election of 1847, by contesting the election
of 1841 ; that is, if the Liberals of South Durham per-
mit a gentleman to whom they are everlastingly in-
debted, t© be driven out of Parliament by the money-
power.—Gateshead Observer.
HEREFORD.—Mr Brand has responded to a requi-
sition, and stands for Hereford.
AYLESBURY.—Mr. sergeant Byles will be opposed
by Lord Nugent at Aylesbury.
SOMERSETSHIRE.—A Hampshire paper states, " We
hear that Mr. John Wood, the barrister, is likely to
be proposed as candidate for Somersetshire, on Pro-

testa not principles, in opposition to Mr. Acland."
ABERDEEN.—We observe in one of the south-
country papers a paragraph stating that opposition is
threatened to Mr. Bannerman. Nothing of the kind
is known here. It was at one time thought that
General Arbuthnott would be opposed in Kincardine•
shire, but from the number and influence of the names
dtached to a requisition to the General, which we
~ave seen, we feel satisfied that any such opposition
would be fruitless. Some of the London newspapers
~ave been speculating on the results of the contest
between Sir Leith Hay and Mr. George Duff in the
Elgin Burghs. They evidently do not understand
what they are writing about.—Aberdeen Herald.
GREENOCK —Mr. Walter Baine, it would appear,
does not intend to stand again as a candidate for the
representation of this town in Parliament. There
has been handed about for signature, under the
auspices of Mr Baine's friends, a requisition to Lord
J. In Hay, brother of the Marquis of Tweeddale, and
a Lord of the Admiralty, to become a candidate at
the ennui g el-cticn Mr. Dunlop, advocate, who
opposed Mr. Baine on the last occasion, and very
nearly defeated him, although he entered upon the
field at so late a period es to render his return almost
hopeless, pledged himself at that time to stand again
whenever a vacancy should occur. Having been in-
flrmed by his friends of the movement that has been
going on in the other party, he came immediately to
town, and had a meeting of his committee in the
White Hart Hotel. He is to remain in town to pro-
secute his canvass personally. In the event of a con-
test taking place, it will, in all probability, be a severs
one.

DURHAPC—There is a rumour in circulation that
Colonel !horns Wood does not intend to offer himself

again for the representation of Middlesex, but means
to solicit, on the Londonderry interest, the suffrages
of the constituency of the city of Durham.—North
British Mail.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN CANTEKBURY.......OII Thurs-
day last, a man and woman, giving their names George
Bates and Sarah Johnson, alias Steele, were had before
our city magistrates on a charge of highway robbery,
committed it der the following circumstances:—James
Hearn, a small farmer of Haroledown, had occasion to
come into the city on Tuesday evening, and on his re-
turn home, at about half-past nine o'clock, was accosted
by the female prisoner, at the corner of Water-lane, who
asked him for the loan of his umbrela, which he refused,
but offered her shelter under it if she were going his
way. This offer she gladly accepted. and in the course
of in r talk said she lived as servant close by, and was
going for some nested potatoes, she having at the time
a plate and cloth. Previous to parting company, he felt
her take his purse, but before he got bold of her the
male prisoner tn•ed a violent expression, and ran against
him, knocking him down. The female took a turn

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HOUSE.
Mr. Goldham, the clerk of Belingsgate-market,
ap-
peared before the Lord Mayor for the purpose of makit g
a representation, at the request of some highly respect-
able dealers and several of the inhabitants of Billings-
gate, involving a question of much importance to the
poor. An Act had lately passed. which had the effect
if repealing the statute of the 10th and 11th of Wild=
IV., which permitted the sale of mackerel on Sun-
days, between the hours of divine service. Now the Act
which repealed that statute presented some serious diffi.
culties as to the constructions to which it was liable It
appeared, in the opinion of some, that the recent Act ex-
tended to the prohibition of the sale of mackerel gene-
rally through the metropolis. while o hers thought that
it affected the sale of the perishable cominod4y in Bil-
lingsgate market alone, and that mackerel might he sold
on the premises of salesmen which were not connect- d
with the market. The market was, of course, completely
closed against the vending of mackerel as well as of nth, r
fish on Sundays; but two salesmen who resided in the
immediate neighbourhood, and who pet the fatter con-
itruction upon the Act, had opened their premises, and
sold away by wholesale on the Sunday, to the great
chagrin of the great body of the market salesmen, and
the annoyance of the inhabitants, who loiiked for the
enjoyment of pesce and qui-'tness on the Sabbath in that
locali'y. The partial operation of the Act, under tEese
circumstances, was an evil which was very severely f, It.
Mr. Goldham, the chief clerk, upon beteg referre,: to
by the Lord Mayor, said it app ared to him, judang
from the words used in the Act, that the market and the
regulations of the market were only meant tit be aff cted,
iind that the prohibition did not ex-end to the premises
of salesmen, or others throughout the metropolis.
There was, however, such remarkable ambiguity in
the phraseology of modern Acts of Parliament, that it
appeared to be indispensably necessary to consult the
framers of Bills themselves on ihe accurate construction
of them.
The LORD MAYOR—It is my wish to give the mo-t
liberal construction of the meaning of all Bills which tend
to interfere with the comterts of the peer. To prevent
the sale of so p-rishable a fish as mackerel, the very pe-
rishableness of the nature of which makes it imperative
upon the dealers in it to sell it at a rate practicufle to
the poorer classes, is what I shoulrr, be very sorry to be
called upon as a magistrate to give my s-inction. We ell
Know that a very few hours will, in such weather as ee
had yesterday, decompose mackerel, and it was on that
account that the sale of the article on Sundays was le-
galised. Ido not know how we can he considered act-
ing justifiably by doing away with the cheap luxury of
that 11.11 upon the only day on which the poor may be
able to enjoy it.
Mr. Goldham repeated, that as far as he was capable
of understanding the Act of Parliament, it merely re-
ferred to the supply of fish to the market, and the tegu-
latiens of the market. But perhaps it would be advisable
to have the advisers of the measure be'ore the Lord
Mayor, in order to ascertain what they really meant by
repealing the Act of William which sanctioned so ex-
cusable a practice.
His LORDSHIP adopted the suggestion of Mr. Gold.
ham, and directed that the gentlemen who framed the
Bill should be requested to attend at the justice room,
and intelligibly express their meaning.
THE OVERLOADING or STEAM VESSELS.—A gentle•
man appeared to complain of the conduct of the pers ins
who exercise an authority in the Greenwich steam
vessels. His object was, he said, to prevent the destruc-
tive accidents which, if the magistracy did not interfere,
must take place in the river in cons. quence of the ras-
cally system acted upon by those to whom the manage-
ment of the boats was entrusted.
The LORD MAYOR expressed his gratification at the
determination of the public to seek for the protection of
the inagistracy in cases in which their authority was no
longer questionable.
The applicant said that he got into No. 12 Waterman
steamer at Greenwich, having under his (ve a little
boy. Immediately after he get in such multitudes tril
lowed as completely prevented the possibility of his re•
turn to the shore, and there he was penned up e ith
hundreds until the arrival of the vessel in London. The
greatest alarm prevailed on board, particularly amongst
the females. many of whom were in tears. and making
appeals to the persons who seemed to have authority,
but who wholly disregarded, and indeed ridiculed cans
plaint. ulthough the water was coming in upon the deck.
No effort whatever was to,de at the plice of embarka-
tion to preveiit a greeter number from entering the b .at
than the C ,urt of Aldermen's regulations authorised, au
that there remained no alternative to those who
got on. hoard but to stay on board, and to run ell the
hazard and to endure all the annoyance of the terrine
crowd.
The LORD MAYOR—Have you a .certained the master's
name? The applicant—lt was quite impos,ible to get
near the master. We were all era,mmed together, and
could not get a foot beyond the position in which we
were either way. • When danger was spoken of, the
officials laughed at those who complained.
The LORD MAY. it—You must apply to the clerk of
the Watetnian's Company for the n..tue of the master,
and summon him here. There is plenty of evidence of
the commission of a seri ins ofteiice; but a vast deal de
pends upon the determination of indivietiale to follow fir
complaints of this kind, I can assure you that I 5h..11
in every instance rigorously p- rf inn my duty by
forcing the highest penalties for any infringement iif the
law. I very much t. ar that the necessary enpressien
will not he made until tle hear of some dreadful cattle-
trOp le in the river.
The applicant said that on the continent policemen
were stationed at the several places of ealbarkation
prevent more persons from embarking than there tip
peared to be room and accernmedatioii tor. It was his
intention to follow up the complaint.
Sir PETER LAURIE stated to tne Lord Mayor that he
had just received from Holland the following letter, re-
biting to that indefatieable nuisance to society, " Joseph
Ady," the Quaker. The correspond. nce of Ady new
extended to all
law could not touch him (a defect certainly disgraceful
parts of the world, and as the British
to the statute-book) his impositions were altogether
without bounds.
" To Sir Peter Laurie, Deputy Lord Mayor of London.
"My Lord--I have received a letter from Sir Joseph

Mr.. CRAMPTON proceeded to address the Court in
support of the rule which had been obtained by the
plaintiff in this case. (The arguments adduced yester.
day will be found fully reported in our law report of
yesterday.) The Learned Gentleman first addressed
himself to the alleged misdirection of the Learned Judge
—namely, that it was for the jury to say whether the
plaintiff had: altancloned the ship, hastily or not, and
whether he had or had not used all the means at hand
to ascertain the real nature of the injuries which the
ship had sustained. He conceived that the sug-
gestion, that the plaintiff might have acted in
haste, might have had a prejudicial effect upon
the minds of the jury, and induced them to decide in
favour of the defendant. The evidence adduced ut the
trial went to show that the plaintiff did not act with
haste, that he had the ship carefully and efficiently sur-
veyed, and only decided upon abandoning the ship when
it was clearly ascertained that she had been so injured
that she was not worth being carried to a distant port,
where she could have been repaired. The Learned
Counsel was proceeding to deal with the question of the
verdict being against evidence, but
Lord DENMAN said—Was it not rather unusual, after a
leader had addressed the court or a jury on this point,
against evidence which he had himself adduced, for a
junior to follow on the same side?
Mr. CRAM?TON then concluded by submitting that
the plaintiff had made out e, case for a new trial.
Mr. CLEASPY followed on the same side, and con-
tended that the evidence rejected at the trial was a ne-
cessary part of the case, and that it would have enable('
the Court and the jury to decide whether the ship could
or could not have been repaired, and whether she was
seaworthy or not. He apprehended that the direction
of the Learned Judge was one which might have led the
jury to come to an adverse decision.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL wag about to reply, when

Lord DENMAN said—We are quite agreed that the
course taken at the trial may be very important, as
showing altogether the meaning of the direction. We
bhonld like, therefore, to see the short-hand writer's
notes, the fullest that have been taken. We will con-
sider the points raised.

BAIL, COURT, May 25.
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)

IN RE TURNER.
Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., moved for a rule calling upon a
gentleman named Turner, an Ilttorney of this court, to
show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls.
It appeared by the affidavit that in the mouth of
August, 1845, a gentleman named Beckford was anxious
to lend out a sum of money. He applied to 'sir. Turner,
who was an attorney at Wolverhampton, in respect of
the loan, and on the following morning that gentleman
communicated to Mr. Beckford that he himself would
borrow the money, which amounted to 6001., and give
as security a house and about thirty acres or copyhold
premises. Mr. Beckford having looked at the property,
and Mr. Turner having told him that it was free from
mortgage, \lr. Beektord proposed employing another
attorney to arrange the business, but Mr. Turner sari
that he did not wish any other attorney to know that he
was borrowing money, and that he would do all the
business, and would sooner cut off his hand than
do anything unfair. A few days afterwards he '
handed to Mr. Beckford three admittances of ano-
ther party, to the effect that he was seised
and possessed of certain premises, as security for the
sum of 6001., which was to be repaid as thereinafter
mentioned. Mr. Beckford afterwards applied to Mr.
Turner for his own admittance, but was informed that it
had not acme from London. Having no suspicion, Mr.
Beckford permitted the matter to rest until the present
year, when he heard that Mr. Turner's circumstances
were becoming embarrassed. He applied to some gun-
tlemen named Foster, attorneys, to inquire into the
matter, and it was found by these gentlemen that Mr.
Turner had deposited the surrender to himself at a
banker's in Wolverhampton, at a period nearly approach-
ing the time when the advance was received from Mr.
Beckford, and that upon the Ist of May in the present
year he had executed a legal conveyance to the bank.
He (Mr. Martin) aprrehended that these facts were suffi-
ciently strong to warrant an application of this nature.
Application granted.
The Court adjourned at an early hour.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 25.
ELDERTON V. EVANS!

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr.
Elderton, who had been retained as solicitor to the Church
of England Life and Fire Assurance Institution. After a
time, however, his services were dispenser with, and an
action was brought for compensation. On the trial a
verdict was given for the defendant, and a rule was now
moved for a new trial or for a nonsuit. The case had
been previously part heard.
After a lengthened argument, which has occupied the
greater part of several days.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICF: gave judgment, and said
that he was of opinion that the judgment should be erased
in both courts, and that the verdict should be entered
for the plaintiff on the first count, and for the defendant
on the second count. The whole matter turned upon the
meaning of the word " permanent." Now the agree-
ment had expressly stated that the plaintiff was to be
engaged as solicitor for the company fist a certain period,
of which no date was givt-n, and which might be con-
cluded on either side. The defendant had pleaded the
general issue, and had done perfectly right in thing so,
and this brought them back to the meaning of the word
"permanent." lie therefore considered that even if the
jury had given a verdict for the plaintiff, the Court would
not have given a judgment in favour of the plaintiff:

Mr. Wolff submitted that there was no sufficient case
to lustily the detention of the prisoner in custody.
Mr. Moseley had no wish to have the prisoner kept in
custody, but would be satisfied it he were ordcred to find
bail for his appearance.
Mr. JARDINE would remand the prisoner till Thurs-
day, but if two good and sufficient sureties in 501. each
were round by the prisoner, he would be liberated.
The prisoner not being able to procure the necessary
sureties in tune, was removed at two o'clock in the
prison van, with the other prisoners who had been corn
witted or remanded on various charges in the course o
the day.

SUGAR.—Of West India the arrivals have Seen ex-
tensive since this day week, whilst of other descriptions
several parcels have been received ; of all sorts there are
heavy arrivals expected. It is now certain that the im-
portation of Sugar will this season far exceed that of the
former one. Although several of the brewers and distil-
lers in the United Kingdom are working from Sugar, yet
merchants have been eager sellers, and having abundantly
supplied the market, produced a fall in the value of ad
sorts indeed the quantity brought forward has ex-
ceeded the wants of the home trade as well as exporters.
West India has be-n purchased with caution fur all pur-
poses, although a reduction on former rates of 6d per
cwt has been submitted to. To-day the Sugar market
was closed on account of the Whitsun holidays, but
business will be renewed to-morrow with large public
sales.

REPINED.—Since our last report there has been less
activity in the market, whilst the refiners have been more
inclined to realise, and submitted to lower rates for all
descriptions of goods; but the home trade have operated
with caution. Although the consuption is very large, yet
prices rule high in comparison with those that
exist for Raw Sugar, and the refiners are
making preparations to produce an increased quantity.
The operations in Bastards have been upon a small
scale only, and there is more desire to sell, as the stock
is accumulating. Pieces have been in excellent request.
Bond, d Crushed Sugar met with less attention for ex-
port, and there are sellers upon reduced terms ; only a
moderate bu,iness has been transacted for immediate or
forward delivery ; prices are, however, encouraging, to
the refiners, and, in consequence, they are producing
an increased quantity.- In Treacle several purchases
have been made. Wet Lumps moved off slowly. Dutch
Crushed Sugar has been only in moderate demand!

B.,Lzian is little wanted. For Loaves made tree onder
bond the export demand is not quite so good, but the
supply beim:: small of all surts we hare very little varl2,*

MAURlTlUS.—Merchants continue to be ready sellers,
as the arrivals are not all in for the season, whilst
there is a heavy stock here, much exceeding that of last
year up to this time. There are sellers by private treaty
of all sorts, and at prices rather under those that
existed previously, but grocers and refiners have operated
with caution.
EAST INDlA.—lmporters of Bengal Sugar have been
anxious sellers, and having abundantly supplied the
market, produced a decline on previous rates of is per
ewt ; the demand, hewever, has been good, and the
whole offered at public sale, amounting to 4,193 bap,
found buyers. Of Sugar there is a large stock here.
FOREIGN.—Since our last report holders of Foreign
Sugar have been eager sellers, and abundantly supplied
the market. Although they submitted to a reduction
on former rates of is per cwt, still only a limited demand
has been experienced from the home trade, whilst ex"
porters and our refiners working under bond haYe
operated with reluctance. The quantity brought for,
ward has been greater than for some time, and exceeded
the wants of all parties. At auction 953 bags of Chine
were sold.
COFFEE.—Of West India none has been subd
