CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
firm. Sales 5,000 bales. Railway Shares were lower.
The Hermann steamer has arrived, but furnishes no
news from America of particular importance. The
exchange was still drooping, and money continued rather
tight. Shipments of pr( duce were pressed forward,
however, as affording a means of remittance.
Advices one day later from Pernambuco report a firm
rate of exchange.
One of the royal mail intercolonial steamers has ar-
rived, but she does not bring later dates:—
The following is an extract of a private letter from
New Zealand :

" Wellington, June 25, 1848.
"We are still without a constitution. Indeed we are
still without a full Executive Council, for Fox, the At.
' torney-General has demurred as to accepting the office
in consequence of the cancelling of the constitution, and
the vagueness of the future as to any government besides
the pro• o msular one which has hitherto ruled us. We
• are at this date vergirg on three mouths without having
heard from Auckland, and know nothing of Captain
Grey. * * * * * * *
"All contractors are flourishing, and small holdings of
land are let every day to those of the working class
who have saved money.
" Nelson is getting on rapidly since the acquisition of
the Wairau ; stock of all kinds arriving from Sidney,
'and the Middle Island must eventually be the colony.
" Domett makes a most excellent Colonial Secretary,
bet we are in great want of municipal government, at
least, if not of something more.
" Mr. Eyre is very painstaking and industrious, but
his role is very confined at present, as we are without
the machinery for making laws, or amending the Auck-
land made otdmances, which are often inapplicable
here."
The following is a report upon the Metal Trade, with
which we have been favoured by Mr. William Short:—
"Iron—For Welch bars and rails the inquiry continues
limited; prices are nominally unaltered, but makers
being disposed to take orders, it is possible to buy a
• . shade under quotations. Staffordshire is in moderate
• demand. Scotch pig-iron has fluctuated during the
:month, and about fourteen days ago some parcels were
sold as low as 41s. 6d. and 425.; since then the market
has rallied, and may now be quoted 425. 6d.
to 435. mixed Nos., and 445. to 455., :all
• No. 1, at which considerable business has been

• done. The stock at Glasgow continues smai
- Swedes Iron is in less request, and sales
have been made at 111. per ton, but hold-
.era now ask higher rates. Swedes steel is unal-
tered. Copper is in fair demand. Tin—English has
- bees advanced 41. per ton on common, and 61. per ton on
refined tin. The scarcity of the latter has had the effect:of
raising the price of foreign tin admissible to home con-
- gumption to 86s. for Banca, and 84s. for Straits, while
Bence for exportation commands but 765. Tin plates
titre in good demand, at the quotations; for delivery in
spring they may be obtained a shade lower. Lead is in
.fair request for home consumption, but slightly inquired
after for export. Spelter has been in slight re-
quest during the month, but from the firm
accounts from Hamburgh, with the moderate
stock here (2,750 tons against 2,900 tons at
this period last year) to meet the :approach of winter,
has caused holders to demand higher prices, and al-
though a parcel of Belgian has been sold at 14/. per ton,
yet the market may be quoted at 141. ss. to 141. 10s.,
Whilst some parties ask a still higher rate."
The reduction of the town of Vienna has not exer-
cised much influence upon the Funds, the market being
• extremely quiet. The tenour of the financial ac-
counts from Paris is so unsatisfactory, and the decline in
• the price of the Rente so continuous, that a little
anxiety is expressed lest the French Governmeht should
find itself seriously embarrassed ere long for want of
pecuniary means. The accounts from Ireland are like-
• seise very unsatisfactory. Consols have ranged from 854
to 86. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. hare
been 851 to, and the Three per Cents. 344 to Bank
Stock is firm at 190. India Stock has realised 233.
• Exchequer-bills have not been higher than 365. to 40s.
k, premium for those of March; and India Bonds have
. been 378. to 40s. premium.
the Foreign Stock Market there is so little doing
. that prices are merely nominal. Mexican Bonds have
• declined to 214 and 204. Spanish Three per Cent. Stock
- is nominally 23 to ; Portuguese Four per Cent, 224 to
; and Brazilian, old, 72 to 74. Dutch Four per
emits. have been marked 69-1- ; and Danish, 62g.
The Railway Share Market is dull this morning, but the
quotations are, in some instances higher than on Satur-
- day, viz.—Caledonian, Great Northern, Great Western
-‘ and Midland. The others are much the saline.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor and all the other Equity Judges
sat in their courts in Lincoln's Inn and Chancery-lane
to-day, pursuant to the arrangement made by the
Lord Chancellor for the convenience of the gentlemen of
the Equity bar—that arrangement being, as we under-
stand, that all the Equity Courts shall sit in Lincoln's
Inn and Chancery-lane when Parliament is not sitting,
and at Westminster when it is.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat this morning in
the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, and after disposing of the
appeal of " Easum v. Easum," which stood in the paper
to be spoken to, and a lunatic petition, " In the matter of
Hughes," proceeded to hear appeals.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
The Master of the Rolls sat at the Rolls' Court, Chan-
cery-lane, to-day, and heard causes.

LORD LEIGH V. LORD ASHBURIFON.
The argurnenta in this case, which was partly beard
on Saturday, were resumed to-day. The case came on
before his Lordship upon a demurrer put into the hill
filed by the noble plaintiff, for the specific performance
of a contract entered into by the defendant to pur-
chase certain estates in the county of Southampton, the
property of the Duke of Buckingham. It appeared that
the father of the late Duke of Buckingham demised by
a deed, dated 3d May, 1828, certain estates in trust to
the late Duke of Buckingham, as tenant for life, after
him to the present Duke, then Marquis of Chandos,
for his life, and next to the present Marquis of Chandos,
then Lord Temple, for his life. The deed also contained
a provision that the trustees might sell, with consent of
the parties interested, the estates in trust, by way of
exchange for other lands. The late Duke died in the
year 1839, and on his demise the present Duke succeeded
to the estates as tenant for life, and executed a deed of
conveyance of the estates, dated the 7th May, 1847 ;
the estate was sold by the plaintiff, one of the trustees,
to the defendant (Lord Ashburton), with the consent of
the present Duke of Buckingham and his son, the Mar-
quis of Chandos, as provided by the original deed.
Judgments had ben entered up against the Duke, be-
fore and after the execution of the deed (27th May,
1847), by creditors holding encumbrances on the estates;
the question raised was to ascertain what effect these
judgments had upon the property. The arguments oc-
cupied the Court the whole day. 1

AKAR/ Y. SOULEIIIY.
The further arguments in this pert-heard case occu-
pied his Honour the whole morning.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
HER MAJESTY'S AND PRINCE ALBERT'S DRAWINGS AND
ETCHINOS.—THE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. JUDGE.
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT V. JUDGE.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Ser-
geant Taltourd and Mr. James) stated, on the sitting of
the Court, that he was instructed to apply in two causes,
in one of which the Attorney-General, representing her
Majesty, was the plaintiff, and in the other his Royal
Highness Prince Albert was the plaintiff, ex parte for
two special injunctions, to restrain a person named
Judge, who resided at Windsor, from exhibiting certain
etchings executed by her Majesty and Prince Albert
which were in his possession, or allowing copies
to be takai of them by any one. He made
the application for the injunctions upon the affi-
davit of a gentleman named Lawrence, who stated
that he knew the defendant, Mr. Jasper Toncett
Judge, who resided at Windsor, and in whose cus
tody he had seen the etchings, tl,at gentleman having
shown them to him. The Court would recollect that
upon an application made to it in the long vacation, it
had granted an injunction against a person named
Strange, of Paternoster-row, restrair,ing him from pub-
lishing, as he had advertised he intended to do, certain
drawings and etchings by her Majesty and Prince Al-
bert. At that time the defendant Judge was not a party
to the suit or upon the record, but had since been made ao.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I suppose the cases are the
same.
The SOLICITOR. GENERAL observed that they were
similar, but in the present instance the application was
confined to the etchings. The gentlemen against whom
the injunctions were asked was a Mr. Jasper Toneett
Judge, who resided at Windsor, cnd in whose custody
he had evidence the etchings were—a gentleman of the
name of Lawrence, also of Windsor, having sworn in bis
affidavit to having seen them in his possession, and, in
short, to have been shown them by him.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—What is the defendant?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL believed that he was an
author, but that he did not carry on any business, and
that he was formerly connected with a newspaper at
Cheltenham. The Solicitor-General, after reading the
affidavit of Mr. Lawrence, and several other affidavits,
submitted that he had shown a clear case for the granting
the injunctions he asked.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Have you any evidence,
Mr. Solicitor, of the intention of the defendant to
publish ?
The SOLICITOR GENERAL answered that he bad not,
but Mr. Lawrence stated in his affidavit that some time
ago he recollected a rumour prevailing inWindsor that the
defendant Judge had some of the etchings in his posses-
sion which were executed by her Majesty and Prince
Albert, and upon his going to Mr. Judge and asking if
such was the case, Mr. Judge at once admitted that be
bad them, and that Mr. Lawrence was quite welcome to
see them. The Solicitor- General then read the affida-
vits of Mr. White and Mr. Finch, for the purpose ol
connecting the present case with that of Mr. Strange.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—You confine your present
application to the etchings, Mr. Solicitor?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Yea.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Are his Royal Highness
Prince Albert and Mr. White ready to give the Court
the same undertaking that they gave before?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—They are, Sir.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR--Then take the injunctions
as to the etchings. The order will be in each cause.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
His Honour, after disposing of the case of " Garlick v
Llewellyn," which stood in his paper for judgment, pro-
ceeded to hear the further arguments in "Loader v,
Clark," which occupied the remainder of the morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.
(Sittings in Banco.)

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STEWARDS OF FRIENDLY
SOCIETIES—HAMMOND V. BANDISH AND FENDALL.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, one of the
stewards of a friendly society in Cambridgeshire, to re-
cover from the defendants, two of the magistrates of that
county, for issuing an illegal distress upon his goods and
chattels. It appeared that a person named Nasby was
a registered member of the society in question, that he
became entitled to relief under the rules, but that the
members of the society not only refused to give him the
customary weekly sum during the continuance of his in
ability to labour, but expelled him from the society
from some reason which was not specified. The rules of
the society set forth that in the event of
any dispute the matter should be referred to
two justices of the peace. The case was brought before
the defendants by Nasby; it was heard on the 18th of
March last, when an order was made for the payment of
the amounts claimed, 5Z Bs. and 41. 45., with 10s. costs.
The plaintiffs refused to pay, and on the application of
the claimant, a distress warrant was issued on the pro-
perty of the society, or if that could not be done, on the
property of the defendant, one of the stewards, which was
accordingly done. The case was tried before Mr. Baron
Parke, and the jury found for the defendants. It ap-
peared that the distress had been issued on the mere ipse
dixit of Nasby.
Mr. WATSON now moved, in accordance with the leave
of the Learned Judge, to enter the verdict, Si. I Is. for
the plaintiff, first, on the ground that the distress was
clear!) bad, because it could not issue, looking at the 10th
of Gee. IV., c. 56, without the stewards basing b. e«
summoned to answer their disobedience of the of dor;
secondly, because the magistrates had no power to
award costs; and thirdly, because they had t.ot ruga
Lived two peculiar exceptions to persons receiving aid
from the finds of the society.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

SKINNER V. DEIGHTON.

Mr. LusH moved for a rule to show cause why a writ
of prohibition should rn,t issue, directed to the Judge of
the County Court of Yorkshire, to stay the pr,cet difgp.
in this case. The plaint was issued on the 15th of June
to appear on the 29th at the Court to be held for titles
and particulars, since delivered with the summons, claim-
ing 20/, as the price of a horse. On the 24th of June
notice was served on the defendant that the cause mint
be tried by a jury. On the 29th of June the jury and
the parties were in attendance, but it was agreed [hit tl e
case should be referred to arbitration. The arbitrator,
however, refused to act ; and on the 31st of July the
cause was tried by the Judge of the County Court with.
oat a jury, and a verdict found for the plaintiff. He
submitted on behalf of the defendant, who was kept in
ignorance of the trial on the 31st of July, that inasmuch
as a jury had been ordered, the Judge had no jurisdic-
tion to dispose of the case by himself, while the cause
itself had been taken entirely out of Court by the agree-
ment to refer. On these grounds, therefore, he con-
contended a writ of prohibition ought to issue to restrain
the plaintiff from further proceedings on the judgment.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. George Meikin, a person carrying on business in
William and Mary-yard, Little Pulteney-street, was
brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having as-
saulted Mr. William Butler, an agent, residing kt 24,
Villiers-street, Strand.
The complainant stated that on Saturday evening,
about seven o'clock, he went in company with a Lr.
Briant to defendant's workshop to apprehend his (de-
fendant's) son on a charge of felony. The defendant no
sooner caught sight of him than he demanded to know
what brought him there. Witness told him that he
wanted to arrest his son for felony. Defendant then
said if he (witness) did not leave the place he would
" break his neck down stairs." Defendant followed up
the threat by striking witness on the nose, and as a
finisher he kicked kim on the side, and broke a bottle
containing a sample of liquor, which he had in his
pocket. Witness then called to the constable who had
accompanied him, and gave defendant in charge.
Webb, 56 C, said he was on duty on Saturday night,
when the last witness came up to him and requested him
to go with him to Mr. Meakin's, and take his son into
custody for felony. Witness accompanied complainant
to William and Mary yard, and on making the purport
of his visit known to defendant the latter pushed him
out of the place and shut the door in his face. He sub-
sequently saw defendant assault Mr. Butler in the man-

into a long statement relative to family affairs,
(de-
fendant) had no right to obstruct an officer in the execu-
tion of his duty. He (Mr. Bingham) should defer his
decision in the present case, and should detain him until
he produced his son. When that was done he should
then thoroughly investigate the case.

SUICIDE Or LORD MIDDLETON.—GODALMING,SA-
TURDAY.—We lament to record an event which has
overwhelmed an eminent and noble family in affliction,
and the whole neighbourhoods of Paperharrow and
Goldalming in consternation. The unfortunate deceased
(Lord Middleton), a man in the prime of lite, had been
for some time rather eccentric in his manner, arising, it
was understood, from family matters. He . had latterly
resided almost alone in the superbly decorated mansion
at Paperharrow-park, a short distance from Godalming.
On the morning of Wednesday last an old servant of his
Lordship's, feeling uneasy at not seeing his master up
at the usual time, went to his bedroom to see if he was
ill, but on entering found that his Lordship was not
. there. He went and searched the house, and on entering
a small room was horror-struck at . finding his noble
master lying on the grotind, and an appearance of blood
issuing from his mouth. On the poor old man touching
his Lordship's chest, he found it perfectly cold. He
nevertheless instantly dispatched the steward on horse-
back for the medical aid of Messrs. Steadman, who at
tended his Lordship professionally. Mr. Steadman im-
mediately proceeded to Paperharrow-park, but iound that
Lord Middleton had been dead some hours, and that
death had been caused by the noxious fumes of charcoal.
His Lordship's will was lying on a table near, as well as
a ring he usually wore ; and a pi low, fetched from the
deceased Nobleman's bed-room, was lying near the bra-
zier, and on it his Lordship's head was reclined. Let-
ters were also found indicative of his Lordship's inten-
tion to destroy his life. The afflicted lady of the de- '
ceased arrived at Paperharrow park on Thursday, and it
is stated that she was in the act of writing to his Lord-
ship, stating her intention of returning home when the
messenger arrived with the dreadful news. His Lord-
sl-iig dies without issue, and is succeeded by Charles
l3rodicke, son of the late Archbishop of Cashel, and
brother to the former incumbent of Shalford.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.
Auber's last new opera of Haydie (the libretto by
Scribe), the production of which has been so frequently
postponed in consequence of the indisposition of Mr.
Sims Reeve, was produced here on Saturday evenine,
in a style of splendour that has never been
surpassed. The following is an outline of the plot:—
Loredano Grimeni (Mr. Sims Reeves), a young Vene-
tian patrician, has dissipated, in fetes and parties of
pleasure, his immense fortune, when suddenly bidding
adieu to Venice, he goes to fight the Turks, more in the
hope of falling himself than of conquering. For six
years, however, he is the foremost in the hour of
victory, has acquired every grade of honour,
and is now Admiral of Venice, and will be
Doge, but amidst so much grandeur he is
never seen to smile; he is sad—at night he
Bleeps not. Haydee (Miss Exuma Lucombe), a young
Greek slave, whom he had saved from death and dis-
honour at the pillage of Cyprus, sleeps near her mas-
ter's chamber, and, hearing him speak in en agitated
manner one night, she enters his room, and, as he is
speaking in his sleep, she discovers the dreadful
secret which is the cause of his melansholy ;
but she will never reveal it to mortal, for, unknown
to herself, she loves the brave and generous Loredano;
but she is jealous, Loredano has with him a young girl,
Rafaela (Miss Messent) whom be has brought up from
infancy; she is the niece of Donato, a patrician, who
ruined himself by gambling, and who destroyed himself,
leaving Rafaela without a home. Loredano adopts
and brings her up with a relation of his in Dal-
matia, where the scene is laid ; and as it is known
that he will leave her nearly all he possesses,
Rafaela has many suitors, amongst others Mal.
genie (Mr. Whitworth), a Captain of Bombadters,
placed by the Council of Ten as a spy on the actions of
Loredano, of whom he is the secret enemy.. Malgenio
is ruined by debts, and arks of Loredano the hand of
Rafaela, but, to the grief of Haydee and the rage of
Malgemo, he declares that he himself intends marring
her on his return to Venice, and desires Malgenio to
come to him at night to take the orders for his departure
the next day. Loredano, overpowered by the fatieues
of the day, throws himself on a divan and sleeps. When
Malgenio returns for his orders he discovers Loredano
asleep, but sitting at a table, where ho imagines he is
throwing dice. From the words which escape him, his
deadly enemy discovers his secret. It seems that one
night, at his palace in Venice, Loredano played against
the avogador Donato, and having lost all the money he
possessed, he staked all that remained to him, his palace.
This also he was on the point oflosing, but in his despair
he deceived Donato by playing falsely, and Donato now
in his turn lost all he possessed, even the marriage por-
tion of Rafaela his niece; so that on leaving the gaming
table he shot himself in despair. In expiation of his
crime Loredano had adopted his niece. But Donato had
left a son also, who had disappeared. Loredano has
sought him vain, and hoping to have fallen in some en-
gagement, he has made a will, which he always carries
about with him. In this will he has declared
to the son of Donato the whole truth, imploring his
pardon and bequeathing to him the whole of his im-
mense property. This will, in his sleep, he draws from
his bosom, imagining that he is presenting it to the son
of Donato. Malgenio seises it ; he has now a sure
means of destroying this hated rival. In the second
act, the Turks have wished to prevent the Venetian
fleet from re entering Venice, and an occasion
presents itself for Malgenio to make use of the
dreadful secret, a stranger named Andrea (Mr. Herherte)
has applied for an engagement under Loredano; he only
asks the command of the first vessel he takes, and, fol-
lowed by twenty Bombardiers, he captures a Turkish
vessel. Malgenio disputes the claim of Andrea to the
prize, as Andrea had employed the soldiers of Malgenio
in the engagement. Loredano, called upon for judg-
ment, is going to declare in favour of Andrea, but Mal-
genio, in a private interview, threatens Loredano to
reveal his secret, who, terrified at the idea, sends for
Andrea and tells him it is not in his power
to grant him the command of the vessel, as by the laws
of Venice none but a Patrician can be invested with
such an honour. lam the son of Donato, the avoga-
dor, returns Andrea, and, therefore, not unworthy of
that rank. Loredano, at this discovery, grants to An-
drea all he asks, and threatens Malgenio with his dagger
should he dare speak. At this moment the sailors give
a shout, Venice is in sight. The third act is at Venice.
At the moment the fleet enters the port, the Council of
Ten are on the point of electing a new Doge. The numerous
victories and the talents of Loredano give him an incon-
testable right to this dignity. Malgenio appears, who
proposes to Loredano for the hand of Rafaela, accom -
parried by her marriage portion, in return for which he
will deliver up the fatal writing on which depends his
honour. Loredano answers by uniting Andrea to Ra-
faela, his cousin, by whom he is beloved, and leaving
them all his wealth; he is determined to die before the
discovery of his dishonour, but Haydee, who has
watched over him from the commencement, swears at
all hazards to save him; discovered by the Senate
to be of the blood royal of Cyprus, she
is given her liberty; being now rich, she offers her-
self to Malgenio as a bride, if in return, he will deliver up
to her the paper upon which depends the honour of
Loredano, who has been just proclaimed Doge by the
Senate. lie has just refused this honour when a young
man is brought before him charged with having
drawn his sword in the streets of Venice,
a crime which is punished by death. 'The
young man is Andrea, and Malgenio, whom he has de.
strayed, his adversary. They are dragging him to exe-
cution, but Loredano accepts the title of Doge, and witi
it the purser of saving Andrea, whom he unites to Ra-
farla. lie then gives his hand to 13ayd6., who has halt; loved
him in silence, and to whom he also is devotedly attached.
Miss En,ma Lucou be made her first appearance on any
stage, in the character of Limp:lee, and at once est:,
dished herself in the very first rank of English vocalists,
Her voice is a fine soprano, of great extent and swe-a-
ness, possessing exquisite softness and;equality of tope.
It is completely under command, and has been cultivated
to the very highest point. Her figure is petite, and
her f atures animated and full of expression. She
looked and acted the Greek boy admirably, and sang the
music of the part exquisitely. Her " Song of the Breeze,"
in the second act (which is the song of the opera) was
exquisitely given, and was enthusiastically encored.
Her opening scene in the third act was likewise given
with great feeling, and in the concerted music she was
admirable. Her success was complete, and we cordia'ly
congratulate Mr. Bunn on having obtained such an acces-
sion to his lyrical corps. The Loredano of Sims Reeves
was perfect, superior in ouropinion even to that of Roger,
who originally created the character. He looked thin
in consequence of his recent illness, but his voice was as
fine as ever, and his acting was magnificent. In
the last scene of the first act, the dream
scene, his acting and his vocalization were
perfection—indeed, except himself, there is no other
tenor on the English stage who could have acted this
cane, or who could have given proper effect to the con-
certed music of which the part is principally made up.
He was most efficiently supported by that excellent actor
and accomplished musician Whitworth, whose Malgenio
was very carefully rendered. Great praise is due to
Miss Messent for the pains she took with the little part
of Ratalia. The music of this opera, although brilliant
and effective, is scarcely worthy of the fame of Auber.
It
is very sparkling, delights the ear at the time, but
does not rest on the memory. Full justice was done
to it on Saturday. As regards the principal vocalists
the east was much stronger than it was at the Opera
Comique When the piece was originally produced as to
the choral and orchestral
accompaniments, not evrn
the resources of the Grand Opera itself could haye ena-
bled any French manager torender them so efficiently
as they were rendered at Covent-garden on Saturday.
The raise en scene was superb. The scene in the second
act was one of the most magnificent " sets" ever exhi-
bited on the stage. The stage r
deck of the Venetian Admirals
the quarter-
inmirals ship after an
action. The riggg is crowded with sailors, who also
crowd the deck, waving flags and singing songs of
triumph. The Turkish fleet is seen sailing away in the
distance. Vessels are seen passing and repassing, and
at length Venice appears its sight. It is certainly one of
the most superb scenic effects ever seen. The opera was
completely successful ; and Miss Emma Lucombe, Mr.
Sims Reeves, and Mr. Whitworth were called before
the curtain.
RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

FORTIICOMING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.--The Great
Western Railway authorities are preparing a voluminous
statement, which is expected to be ready on Wednesday.
Similar ones are in preparation for the London and
South-Western, the Eastern Counties, the Lancashire
and Yorkshire, the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, the
York and North Midland, South Eastern, and Scottish

lines.
Mr. Hudson is carrying out a rigid system of economy
on all his lines—on some making: dismissals, and
on others carrying out reductions to the extent of ten
per cent.
NOVEMBER NOTICES AND NEW LINES.--.The Novem-
ber notices of intended application to Parliament on the
part of railway companies for new lines, branches, ex-
tensions, amendments, and alterations, indicate as far as
they go at present, that there will be little or nothing to
do next session, in the form of railway legislation, as
compared with the past session, when there were 140
new Bills before Parliament. The only one of the great
companies that has yet given notification of an intention
who will
apply under the enlarged title of w
to proceed to Parliament, is the Lancashire and York-
shire,
the " Lancashire and Yorkshire, and London and
North-Western Railway Companies," for a transfer
of interest in the Preston and Wyre Railway,
Har-
bour, and Dock Company, and for regulating the ma-
nagement of the undertaking. Another company, the
Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, a subsidiary line to the
London and North-Western, and in which the latter are
interested by subscription to the amount of 487,874!.,
apply for a railway from their own at Lancaster to
Preston, and to use a portion of the existing Lancaster
and Preston Railway, whieh, it is said, nobcdy owns;
also for a branch to Glasgow Dock, and for an amend-
ment of Acts. New lines are talked of from Bangor to
Carnarvon, and from Lancaster and Fleetwood.
RAILWAY RECEIPTS.—The receipts on the leading
lines of railway still continue much higher than in the
corresponding period of last year. This is the more
surprising in the case of the week ending on Saturday,
the 28th ult., because it not only rained incessantly dur-
ing nearly all the week, but in several instances the
traffic on the branch lines was seriously interfered with,
owing to these branches being under water. The in-
crease on the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, as coin-
pared with the corresponding week of 1847, was nearly
8001.; on the London and North-Western, 6001.; on the
Great Western, 1,000/. ; on the London and South.
Western, 1,250 L; on the London and Brighton, 8001.; on
the Eastern Counties, 1,500/.; and on the Lancaster and
Carlisle, 7501.—Observer.

THE ROYAL ETCHINGS.
[ln another part of this evening's impresion of
The Sun will be found a paragraph announcing the
progress made in the extraordinary case of " The At-
torney- General v. Strange." Beyond this, our
readers will find, from the account furnished by our
legal reporter, that two additional injunctions have
been granted by Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce
against the real defendant in this remarkable trans-
action---not Mr. William Strange, the publisher of
Paternoster-row, but a person named Jasper Toncett
Judge, a resident of Windsor, formerly proprietor of
a newspaper at Cheltenham, subsequently con-
nected in a subordinate capacity with some portions
of the metropolitan press, and writer of one or
two obscure pamphlets and minor publications.
The fact of this individual having certain
of these etchings in his possession, as sworn
before his Honour on the affidavits of Lawrence and
others, imparts an entirely novel complexion to the mat-
ter under consideration, and tends in a great measure
to exculpate the original defendant, Mr. Strange.
Unfortunately we have not as yet been able to obtain
copies of the affidavits already mentioned, otherwise
we should have laid them at once before our readers
as the weapon's employed by the advisers of the
Sovereign, for the purpose, if possible, of directing
punishment against the guilty purloiner of the royal
curiosities. Immediately we can obtain addi-
tional information it shall appear in our co-
lumns, not only because of the cunning
fense of the respective solicitors and counsel,
but because of the singularity of the appearance of
the august personages, her Majesty and his Royal
Highness the Prince Consort, as suppliants in the
High Court of Chancery for that justice of which
the Sovereign is said, by Sir Matthew Hale, to be
the fountain. After the tremendous convulsions of
the monarchical and imperial Governments of the
continent—after the general bouleversement which has
taken place among the ancient institutions of sove-
reignty, it is a significant circumstance to witness the
the course herein adopted by Victoria towards the
close of the memorable year 1848. It is a circum-
stance significant of the pliancy, the flexibility, and
the marvellous elasticity of our matchless constitution.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Kean make their re entrée to-night, in the popular play,
The Wife's Secret. Their success in the provinces has
been quite unparalelled, and we have no doubt, now that
their engagement at the Haymarket is permanent, that
an impetus will be given to the production of new plays
worthy such distinguished artists. We bear that Shak-
spere's delightful comedy, The Twelfth Night, will be
acted on Saturday, with Mrs. Charles Kean as Viola.
This character is one of that lady's finest embodiments.
Lord Cochrane, of the 18th Royal Irish. Dragoons,
son to the Earl of Dundonald, who has been serving
with his regiment in Bengal, will shortly return home on
ink leave.

AMERICAN NEWS.

SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY NIGUT.
The Hermann, Ocean Steam Navigation Com-
pany's steam ship, Captain Crabtree, arrived at
Cowes this evening, at nine o'clock. Her mails and
papers were immediately trans-shipped on board a
small steamer, specially engaged, and forwarded to
Southampton.
The Hermann sailed from New York on the 20th
ult., three days later than the Cambria. She brings
on freight 300,000 dollars, and 30 passengers, many
of whom are for Bremen.
The Hermann unfortunately met with an accident
five days since, by the breaking of one of her side
levers. Her late arrival is thus fully accounted for ;
and having been up to this period only 16 days on
her passage, her voyage would have been an average
one had it not been for the mishap alluded to. She
will steam to Southampton to-morrow for repairs,
and her passengers conveyed to Bremen by another
steamer.

Exchange on London, 1081.
The Niagara, with one week's later news from
Europe, arrived at Boston on the 19th, after a short
passage of 12 days.
The news by the Hermann is not of great import-
ance. The cotton market, after the departure of the
Cambria, was somewhat feeble, Some 6001bs. sold
in favour of the buyer. There was no perceptible
change in the flour market. Freights were lower.
Cotton for Liverpool at ss. 32d.; flour in American
vessels at 2s. 41d.; and grain Bd.
The all-absorbing topic of the papers is the ap-
proaching election. There is no doubt of the return
of General Taylor.
Advices from New York state positively that let-
ters have been received from the seat of government
in Spain, negotiating for the sale of the island of Cuba
to the United States. The project, it appears, is by
no means a new one. It was formerly pro-
posed to sell the island to England, but
as it is believed by the Spanish Government
that the United States would give the largest sum,
and, at the same time, that it would be of more ad
vantage to the Spanish people, in every point of vie'
the offer is now given to America. The question, no
doubt, will create a great commotion throughout the
United States, and produce a multitude of conflicting
opinions in different parts of the-Republic.
There is no later news from Mexico.
COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Nxw Yonx, OCT. 20.—The exportation of breadstuffs
for the week were very large, larger than they had been
in any single week for the past year. Of flour, 51,654
barrels were shipped, of which 43,277 went to Great
Britain; 146,566 bushels of corn, of which 138,159
went to Great Britain; and 64,754 bushels of wheat, the
whole of which went to Great Britain. The shipments
of provisions of all kinds have been unusually large.
Cotton has gone forward more rapidly this season than for
the same period last, and our export trade, at all events
as far as this port is concerned, has thus far been much
more profitable and to a much greater extent than in
1847. The exportation of cotton from all the ports up
to the latest dates this year, to foreign ports, has been
93,669 bales, against 79,326 to corresponding dates in
1847, showing an increase of 14,343 bales this year.
There has been this year an increase in shipments to
Great Britain of 20,261 bales, and a falling off in the
shipments to France of 8,257 bales. All that is now
necessary to place our foreign trade upon a favourable
footing is a proper reduction in our importations, a re-
duction in accordance with the reduced demand from
consumers. This we cannot regulate. The manufac-
turers of Europe are not entirely governed by the orders
from this country in sending out their fabrics. If they
have a surplus of any artiele it is sent here for sale,
knowing that it will command as high prices in this
country as in any other part of the world, and our
markets are used for the purpose of reducing home
supplies, and keeping other markets from being glutted.

WEST INDIES.
By the arrival of the West India intercolonial mail-
steamer Eagle, which arrived at Southampton on
Saturday, and which has come home for repairs, we
have intelligence from some parts of the West Indies
of a later date than that brought by the Trent.
In consequence of the negro revolt at St. Croix, the
King of Denmark had ordered M. Hansen, late Go-
vernor of the East India Danish settlements, to pro-
ceed to the Danish West Indies, to re-organise the
government of the island.
He was to ratify the emancipation of the slaves,
and to make suggestions for simplifying the adminis-
tration or the government of the Danish possessions,
for reducing the number of officials and their salaries,
so far as circumstances would permit ; in fact for a
general re-organisation of the colonial government.
He was also to investigate, in conjunction with the
judicial functionary who was to accompany him, the
conduct of the late Governor- General and his subor-
dinates, with reference to the late insurrection. A
brig of war, with a military force of 400 men, were to
accompany him to enforce his authority. All reports
and suggestions appertaining to every branch of the )
service belonging to the colonial administration, were
to be sent in future to the Minister of Commerce, in-
stead of to the respective boards, and the minister was
not to decide on anything without previous arrange-
ments with the ministry.

SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.
" Rumour" has not been idle during the last few days
with respect to Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier's
squadron; but the facts are these:— The following ships
are ordered to be at Spithead by the 15th, to be ready
to proceed to sea under the Gommand-in-Chief of the
Gallant Admiral, those vessels to whom wages are due to
be paid previous to sailing :
Sailing Vessels—St. Vincent, 120 guns, 890 men,
Captain S. C. Dacres; Prince Regent, 92 guns, 820 men,
Captain W. F. Martin; Powerful, 84 guns, 750 men,
Captain Hon. R. S. Dundas, C.B.
Steam-vessels—Stromboli, 6 guns, 160 men, Commo-
dore Lord A. Beauclerk ; Reynard, 8 guns, 110 men,
Commodore Cracroft; Rifleman, 4 guns, 80 men, Lieu-
tenans Crofton; Sharpshooter, 4 guns, 80 men, Lieu-
tenant Bailey.—Making a total of seven vessels, of 318
guns, and 2,890 men.
We have good reason for believing, however, that
the 17th is the day fixed for their proceeding to sea,
and it is believed that extending his cruise so far south-
west of Cape Clear as Madeira, the Gallant Admiral
will. very soon after reaching that island bear up for
another -long spell at Lisbon, having looked in there, on
his way out, to give timely notice of his intention.%
It is reported in many quarters that Sir Charles
Napier is not at all pleased with the prospect of a winter
cruise.

The flag ship and the Prince Regent are quite ready,
but the latter, although she has received her additional
weight of armament, and is to proceed at once to rein-
force the fleet under Sir William Parker, has not had
any addition made to her complement. The Powerful
will be ready for sea as soon as she is manned.
It is likely that the Amazon, Daphne, and Orestes
will join the Admiral for a little exercise before they
proceed to their respective stations, the Cape; the Pacific,
and the Brazils.
SUPERINTENDENTIOTIP OF THE INDIAN NATY.—The
appointment of a Captain of the Royal Navy to be Com.
modore Superintendent of the Indian Navy will take
place on Wednesday next. The list of candidates is now
reduced to two, and we believe we may confidently state
that either Captain Stephen Lushington, now in com-
mand of the Vengeance, 84, in the Mediterranean, or
Captain Sir Renry Leeke, K.H., will be the officer se-
lected. The merits of these two officers are generally
held to be pretty nearly equal; but Captain .Lushington,
we believe, stands the best chance of selection ; for, in
addition to his being the relative of many influential offi-
cial personages connected with the East India Company
and her Majesty's service, he has an advantage over his
competitor from his experience in steam navigation.
having commanded her Majesty's steam frigate Retri-
bution.

The Rey. Mr. Sehon bas recently been appointed Chap-
lain at Melville Hospital, Chatham.
THE EAST INDIES.—We are sorry to hear accounts
of the very indifferent health of Rear-Admiral Sir F.
Collier, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of the East India
Station. With his Secretary and Flag-Lieutenant he
arrived at Singapore on the 7th August, and hoisted hi,
flag in the Meander, which he found lying there. The
Meander sailed with Governor Brooke for Sarawak oo
the 23d of August, when Sir Francis struck his flag,
but re-hoisted it on the sth of September, on the arrival
of the Inflexible steam-sloop. Commodore Plumridge.
on receiving at Hong-Kong the announcement of th
arrival of Sir F. Collier on the station, struck the red
pendant of First Class Commodore, and hoisted that of
Commodore of the Second Class. The Gallant Commo-
dore had been ordered to remain in command of th(
division of the squadron in the Chinese Waters, instead of
returning to Bombay. It is likely, therefore, that Sir
Francis Collier will not proceed to Bong-gong. The
