THE SUN,

tided that the case should stand over till to-morrow, in
order that the counsel might agree upon the terms of
that issue.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
JOWELL V. BOARD.
The further arguments in this part heard case occu-
pied the Court the ‘s bole morning.
(Before the Vice- Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
THOMPSON V. BENNETT.
The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed
this morning, and occupied the Court the greater part
of the day.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor NVIGRAm.)
His HONOUR, after disposing at great length of the
cases of "Phillipson v. Getty," and "Hollin v. Teed," nei-
ther of which contained points of any interest except to
the parties concerned, proceeded to hear causes, but
no case calling for a special report came before the
Court during the morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
SPECIAL PAPER DAYS.

At the sitting of the Court,
Sir FREDERICK THESIGER inquired if it was the in-
tention of the Court to take the special papers on Friday.
Lord DENMAN said the Court intended not to take
the special papers until the sittings after term, and the
new trial paper on the days heretofore devoted to
the cases in the special paper. This arrangement,
.bich the Court believed would be found very
advantageous, could not prevent the hearing of any par-
ticular special cases on the days heretofore set apart for
their hearing. '

Sir FREDERICK said no doubt this arrangement would
prove satisfactory.

aRNKINSON V. HUCHINSON.
Mr. MARTIN said this case was tried at Durham be-
fore Mr. Justice Erle, and that a verdict was found for
the plaintiff for 230 L He had to move for a rule calling
upon the plaintiff to show cause why that verdict should
not be set aside and a nonsuit entered. It ap-
peared that a person named Barnes was the owner
of a ship which traded between Sunderland and Con-
stantinople. It was mutually agreed between the plain-
tiff and defendant, who is a shipowner at Sunderland,
and a friend of Barnes (wishing thereby to serve him),
that the ship (the Wanderer) should bring back a cer-
tain cargo from Constantinople. He consequently char-
tered the ship to Jenkins. Barnes finding he could make
a more profitable bargain, refused to ratify the contract,
contending that Huchinson had no right to charter it.
The action was brought to recover the loss which the plain-
tiff had sustained by reason of the breach of that contract.
This was the sole point in the case, and it was, the
Learned Counsel confessed, a very miee one.
The COURT granted the rule, and directed the case to
be put on the special paper.

JAMES V. LYNN.

This case was tried before Mr. Justice Erie at the
last assizes at Liverpool, when a verdict was found for
the plaintiff. It was an issue under the Tithe Commu-
tation Act to try who was entitled to certain tithes.
Mr. liNowLus moved for a rule, calling upon the
plaintiff to show cause why the ♦erdict should
not be set aside, on the ground of misdirec-
tion, and because the verdict was against the
evidence. The Learned Judge, it appeared amended
some error in the issue. Now, he contended that he
could not amend an issue of this sort, and, if he had,
that that amendment was one relating to a material
matter, and therefore one which, under the statute, he
had no power to make. The misdirection consisted in
the Learned Judge not telling the jury that the issue
was not sustained by the evidence.
(The case was proceeding when our report left.)

LONDON.

On that day she was about leaving his service, but he
would not permit her to take away her box until it was
searched in the presence of a police-constable. The box
was accordingly secured by her and left " until called
for." Last night the prisoner came for it, and witness
called in a policeman, in whose presence the box was
opened, when the articles now produced, and which were
the property of his wife, were found. The property
stolen consisted of linen, chintz, furniture, and a variety
of articles of clothing.
The prisoner said the articles had been given to her
by her mistress.

Mrs. Mary Pesman identified the articles as her pro-
perty, and positively denied having given the prisoner
either of them.

The prisoner was committed.
A number of young men and boys were charged with
letting off fireworks in the public streets.
Mr. liAmmiLL severely admonished end discharged
those whose cases were not of a very flagrant nature,
whilst others were fined in the sums varying from 20s. to
55., or imprisonment.

THE UNION BANK ofNEWCASTLE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Suz,—The Committee of the Union Bank have
seen with surprise the following paragraph in The Sun
newspaper of Saturday last :7-

" TLIK UNION BANK OF NEWCASTLE.—A meeting
of the shareholders of the North of England Joint-
Stock Bank was held on Thursday last, at the head
office in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, when it was unani-
mously resolved to wind up its affairs in Chancery,
under the provisions of the Act of Parliament,
passed during last session, for winding up the affairs
of joint• stock companies. The bank suspended pay-
ments in 1846."

I beg to inform you that the Union Bank has no
connexion with the North of England Banking
Company.
The Committee of the Union Bank have no inten-
tion of winding up their affairs under the Act of last
session. Since October, 1847, when the bank sus-
pended payment, they have been, as they still are,
assiduously engaged in discharging their liabilities,
and but a small proportion, as compared with the
original amount, remains unliquidated. The general
business of the bank has been recently resumed at
the branches at North Shields, South Shields, and
Berwick, ample funds for this particular object
having been provided by a number of the share-
holders.

I trust you will correct the mistake in an early
number of your publication.
I am very respectfully,
JOSEPH WATSON.
Newcastle, Nov. 6, 1848.

THE FIFTH or NOVEMBEE.—The anniversary of
the redoubtable conspiracy contrived by Guido Fawkes
and his associates, for the destruction of James the
First and the British Parliament, falling this year on a
Sunday, the customary processional and pyrotechnic
observances of the day were postponed until yesterday.
During the day divers effigies of the arch-traitor were
paraded about the several suburbs of the metropolis,
and in the evening a great amount of gunpowder was
expended in the shape of fire-works, but fortunately we
have not beard of any serious accident resulting there-
from.
THE LONDON ;:COFFEE AND EATING HOUSE
KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.—Yesterday evening a meeting
of the committee of management and others interested
in the welfare of this society, was held at the Freema-
son's Tavern for the transaction of general business,
Mr. Wm. French, president, in the chair. The report
stated the institution was established in 1837, having
for its object the relief of aged and decayed members of
the trade, their widows and orphans. The report for
the past year stated that the funded property had been
augmented to 1,9891. Bs. 10d., and a balance in hand of
691. Ils. Ild. There are now five pensioners on the
funds who receive 651. per annum, being within 91.25. 4d.
of the yearly interest on the capital invested.
TEE CARPET TRADE.—We understand that the
extensive carpet manufactory of the late John Howard,
Esq., at Leeds, is about to be entirely closed. This will
necessarily throw out of employment a great number of
hands

which
had nearly been attended with great loss of property,
broke out on Friday evening, at the Derby Railway
station in this town. It appears that about six o'clock
the clerks left the traffic manager's office for the night,
thhgte,
and in about two hours afterwards the attention o
persons engaged in the adjoining office was arrestedy
a smell of fire, and presently the room became full
offiee
of
smoke. They immediately entered the manager's
the
and found it in flames. An alarm was given,l and
the
spot, and by means of a good supply of water yt fire

engines from the various offices were prompt
was soon extinguished, having been fortunately confined
to the room in which it originated. The damage ,
done
is comparatively trifling. The cause of the accident is
not known.—Birmingham Journal
NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC ESTABLISHMENTS.--A cir-
cular, which has been compiled and issued by Dr. Walsh,
the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Metropolitan District,
assisted by his coadjutor, Dr. Wiseman, was read by the
clergy in the several Roman Catholic churches tied
chapels throughout the metropolis and the environs on
Sunday last. The circular stated that it was the inten-
tion, as far as practicable, of the heads of the Romish
Church in this country, to collect the poor and destitute
children of that faith who had been deprived of their
parents, and were now in the various workhouses of the
district, or roaming the streets of the metropolis, uncared
and unprovided for, with an almost certainty of ulti-
mately bt coming, through ill example and bad company,
the pests of society. The circular further stated, that
there was good reason to know that many hundreds of
Roman Catholic poor children in the metropolis were
in this situation, and that by wresting them from it, a
material benefit would be confart d on society at large, at
the same time that an important and essential religious
duty would be performed. With this intent, it appears
that some premises near the Southall station of the
Great Western Railway have been purchased, and a
number of orphan children already established therein,
who have been furnished with a resident clergyman and
tutors, and are fully provided for in every way ; which
premises are to be increased without delay, and to assist
which by their contributions the faithful are earnestly
enjoined for the benefit of society as well as the indivi-
duals themselves. It appears further, from this episco-
pal circular, that a number of ladies have lately arrived
from the continent, and have settled at Norwood, where
4n establishment has been formed for the reception of
female orphans, and to the assistance of which the Bishop
enjoins the Roman Catholic ladies of the metropolis to
give their best endeavours, at the same time that they
are entreated to visit the Place.
POUR Fiurs IN ONE NIGHT.—The following fires
occurred last night, in the dia,riot of the A Brigade:—
The first occurred about half-past five at night, on the
premises of Mr. Morrell, brass dealer, Chapman-street,
Cennon-street, where a shed was burned down. The
second fire took place at the house of Mr. Miller, Bri-
tannia-place, Lower. road, Islington ; great damage to
furniture, &c., on the first floor—not insured. The third
fire and explosion of fireworks took place about half-past
eight, on the premises of Mr. North, Pleasant-row, Step-
ney-green; the entire shop front blown out, but no per-
son injured; fire arrested through the quick attendance
of the A Brigade engines and firemen—not insured. The
fourth fire heppened at eight o'clock, at the house of Mr.
Whale, Devonshire-street, Milerenel-roaoo tee dealer and
grocer; the contents of first floor consumed, half of roof
destroyed, and lower rooms damaged by fire and water—
insurtd its the I4ieensed Victuallers' office.
