The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment to-day
in this case, which was also heard some time since
before his Lordship, upon an appeal from the decree
of the Vice-Chancellor of England, allowing a de-
murrer to the plaintiff's bill. The facts of the case
were shortly these. The bill was filed by Robert
Courtney Bell and Robert Chadfisld, on behalf of
themselves and all other shareholders in the Direct
London and Exeter Railway Company, except the
defendants, against Lerd Mexborough and others,
who were members of the committee of manage-
ment, and against Adolphus Capel, John Allen,
and others, who were members of the pro-
visienel committee of the said railway company,
but not members of the committee of management.
The bill prayed an account of the assets of the com-
pany, and that each of the defendants might be com-
pelled to pay up the amount of the deposits on 150
shares, which had been allotted to each of them, and
accepted by them, and that the same be held to be
assets of the company. The defendants Capel and
Allen demurred to the bill. Mr. Hunt and Mr.
lletherington supported the bill. This was one of
those railway speculations which failed in its object.
The plaintiffs were shareholders who paid up the
deposits on their shares. The defendants had allotted
among themselves 150 shares to each, but they did
not pay up the deposits. All the defendants except
Allen and Capel signed the subscribers' deed and the
Parliamentary contract. Capel and Allen were on
the list of the provisional committee, but not on the
committee of management ; and, on these grounds,
they, by their demurrer, insisted that they were not
liable to the consequences of the acts of the committee
of management. But they must be held to be part-
ners with the plaintiffs to all intents and purposes,
and the object of the bill was to fix them as share-
holders, liable to pay the deposits on the shares which
they accepted. His Lordship in giving judgment, said
that he was against the plaintiff upon all the points
urged in his bill, and he therefore felt bound to dis-
miss the appeal with costs.

The first paragraph of the Address had been

The discussion on the Petit affair has had a most
damaging effect on the Ministry, and rumours were
circulated that they would resign rather than be
again exposed to such badgering. It was even said
that Count Mor.o had been requested to form a
Ministry. This latter rumour is, however, to say
the least, premature. The Presse thus comments on
the denials given by M. GUIZOT in the Chamber to
the charges made against him in relation to this
affair :

GRIFFIN.

" We read in the Moniteur the following report:—
"M. Guizot-1 declare that the particular facts
which are alluded to did not take place in my
cabinet. _ . .

The case came before the Court to-day upon motion
to dissolve an injunction which had been obtained from
his Honour a short time since by 111 r. Bethell, on
behalf of Dr. Hampden, restraining the de-
fendant from publishing in a separate form
an article on 'l'homaa Aquinas, written by Dr.
Hampden about fifteen years ago, for the " Encyclo-
ptcdia Metropolitania." When the injunction was
applied for and obtained, it was stated that the article
was given to the proprietor of the " Encyelopa3dia,"
on the distinct understanding that it should appear
only in that work, and that the defendant, a book-
seller in Baker-street, Portman-square, who, it ap-
peared, was the present proprietor of the " Encyclo-
pterlia," had lately announced his intention to publish
a separate edition of the article, contrary to the
Bishop's remonstrance.
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Bolt appeared in
support of the motion to dissolve the injunction, and
Mr. Bethell and Mr. Fleming to oppose it.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
The VICE-CIIANCELLOR gave judgment, ordering
the injunction to be continued, and refusing to direct
any trial at law, considering it clear that there was
nothing to try.
BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)

The report of the Federal representatives in the
canton of Valais to the Directory, dated 12th Jan-
uary, 1848, clearly exposes the intrigues of M.
GUIZOT and of the Council of 'War of the Sonder-
bund, and shows the base attempts they made to
coerce the authorities of the Valais into an uselees
resistance to the Federal troops, in order to give
GUIZOT an opportunity of interfering in support of
the Jesuits. During the whole of the last year AL

Switzerland (he called himself the agent of his Ex
cellency M. Guizor),•while M. lIAmorT was con-
ducting the intrigues
.between M. BOIS LE ComrTE,
and the Sonderbund chiefs. The Bishop's Palace at
Sion was the seat of those intrigues ; 'rom thence
proceeded the orders to the priests to preach the
holy war and the destruction of heretics, and to
excite by every possible method the fanaticism of
the ignorant. The French agents never took the
direct route either to Sion or Lucerne. Their usual
route was through Savoy, by the road of the
Simplon to Sion, and from Sion through the Furca
pass to Lucerne. None' of these diplomatic agents
had any direct communication with the Council of
tate of the canton of Valais tteir com-
munications were all with the me-nbers of
the Council of the Sonderbund, with the Bishop of
SION, or with the priests. The activity of these in-
triguers was redoubled in the month of November,
and after the defeat of the Sonderband at Lucerne,
M. llAmoriT and M. DE LA FENESTRE joined SING •
WART MULLER, and the remains of the Council of
War of the Sonderbund at Andermatt, and pro-
ceeded with them through the Furca pass into the
canton of Valais. On their arrival at Brigue, where
they were joined by BERNARD MEYER, it was deter-
mined that the Council of War of the League should
establish itself there, and that in order to legitimatise
its position, it should demand of the Council of State
of the canton of Valais authority so to do, the Council of
State, in case it should grant such authorization,
taking upon itself to guarantee that it would for four
days maintain a resistance to the advance of the
Federal troops, in order to enable the Council of the
Sonderbund to demand foreign armed intervention.
The demand was accordingly made, but the Council
of State refused to accede to it, on the ground that
they would not expose the canton to complete ruin,
by making it the seat of a war which presented not
the slightest chance of success ; and that, moreover,
the troops of the Valais were fatigued, and had ma-
nifested unmistakeable symptoms of insuborbination.
The Council of State was accused, with vehemence,
by the priests, the Sonderbund, and the foreign in-
triguers with cowardice and treason. The Monks
of St. Bernard, in particular, were loud in their
denunciations of the Council of State. On the
27th of November M. DU LA FaisssTaz had
an audience of the Council of State for the
first time, on which occasion the Council of
State categorically refused to grant the required
authorization to the Council of War of the Sonder-
bund to fix the seat of its operations at Brigue. The
agent of M. GuizoT was thunderstruck. He accused
the Sonderbund of cowardice, declared that the
Swiss were a fallen race—that diplomacy was com-
promised by its endeavours to sustain such persons—
that they were unworthy of help, &c. &c. Finding
all endeavours useless, he left for France on the 28th
of November. On the same day an envoy from
Prussia arrived, who promised the Sonderbund
foreign assistance if they would resist for some days.

among them. I have sent my letter to him. As for
you, you can dispense with your errand of to-morrow
morning. I cannot answer your demands before I
have seen M. Guizot, and received from him a verbal
answer, which he could not give me by writing.—

" Lies ! lies! It is M. Guizot alone we are to
credit. Al. Bertin de Veaux cannot be believed, and
M. Guizot is a victim to calumny !"
The M. BERTIN DR VEAUX alluded to above is the
principal proprietor of the Journal des Dads, and
the intimate friend, consecpsently, of Al. GUIZOT.
The same journal contrasts the tone of the notes of
Sir STRATFORD CANNING to the Swiss Diet with that
of the note of Bois LE COMTE, characterising the
former as a model of good temper and good sense,
and the latter as promulgating false doctrines in a
menacing tone. " How can France," slily asks the
Press.," now complain of Lord PALMEUSTON'S inter-
ference in. Greece after its own example in Switzer-
land

EX PARTE RAMSEY.

In this case Mr. Maule had obtained a writ of
habeas corpus, calling upon one George Brown and
Letitia his wife, to bring up the body of Margaret
White, an infant. The circumstances under which
the application was made were fully reported at the
time.
Mr. Brown now appeared with the child, an in-
telligent looking girl, about eight years of age, and
stated that he was prepared to abide the decision of
the Court.
Mr. WILLS put in the affidavit of Mr. and Mrs.
Brown, which stated that in the winter of 1689,
Mrs. Ramsay came with the child, then scarcely three
wookg old, to their house in Lynn, and said she was
the wife of Mr. Henry Thwaits, the brother of Mrs.
Brown, and required shelter for herself and infant
Mr. Brown gave it, but ascertained that she was not
married to his brother-in-law. Subsequently Mrs.
Ramey left, taking with her the child, and came to
London, but discovering that she was earning her
livelihood by singing in the street, he offered to adopt
the child as his own, and she consented to his doing
so. The child had accordingly been under his charge
till last March, when, through a temporary dispute
with his wife, he was induced to bring the child to
London, and place her in the custody of Mrs.
Buckingham, an actress at the Ilaymarket Theatre,
and the sister of the mother of the child. Learning,
however, that the child was anxious to return to his
house, and that Miss White—who was an actress at
the Olympic Theatre, playing under the name of Mrs.
Ramsey—meditated bringing her up to the stage, at
the request of the putative father, his wife's brother,
he ,endeavoured to and did receive possession of--the
child. The child was not anxious to return to the
house of Mrs. Buckingham, and therefore it was hoped
the Court would decide that she should remain where
she was.
Mr. Justice WTI.IITMAN said the only objection he
had to making such a decision was, the circumstance
of Mr. Brown having separated from his wife.

The committee appointed to arrange the electoral
banquet of the 12th arrondissement have published a
circular, declaring that notwithstanding the prohibi-
tion of the prefect by order of the Government, the
banquet should take place. The committee say that
the law is clear in its distinction between the right to
meet and the right to associate. A meeting is for a
temporary purpose, and confined to the expression of
thoughts and opinions. Au association is a conti-
nuous act, and it is against associations as implying
action that the law is directed. The dinner will not
take place until. the debate on the Address is over, in
order to afford Deputies the opportunity of being pre-
sent, and then it will be seen whether Government
will push matters to extremities by dissolving the
meeting by force. If so, an appeal will be made to
the tribunals for a judicial decision upon the law as
it stands.

Mr. WILLS said that was not so.
Mr. Justice WIGIITMA.I%, having questioned the
child, said it appeared to him to be her wish to re-
main with Mr. and Mrs. frown, and as both the
supposed father and the mother had for seven years
allowed her to live with them without making any
objection to it, he thought it best to accede to her
wish.
The writ was therefore discharged.

/CEWTON V. COICYPIGHAM.

This was an action brought to recover 2751., the
amount of deposit paid upon some shares in a railway
company, of which the defendant, Lord Conyngham,
was a director. It was tried before Mr. Justice
Cresswell, when the plaintiff was nonguited.
Mr. NEWTON, the plaintiff (a barrister) appeared
in person, and moved that upon payment of the costi
of trial to the defendant their Lordships would be
pleased to grant a rule nisi to set aside the new suit.
The Chuu•r said, as an application had already been
made for a new trial and refused, they considered
that it would be creating a mischievous precedent if
