A LOVE QUARREL.—Yesterday afternoon consider-
able amusement was created on Westminster-bridge, by the
extraordinary conduct of a young man and woman, who,
seemingly without any apparent cause, commenced throwing
a quantity of edibles and wearing apparel with which they
were loaded, over the parapet of the bridge into the Thames,
having accomplished which, they both took different direc-
tions, seemingly very well satisfied at what each had done.
From what could be gathered from a mutual friend, who
in vain attempted to dissuade them from the destruction of
their property, it appears that the young man, whose name
is Wilmot, residing at Milbank, was about to be married to
the young woman to-morrow, and that they had been out
together making purchases for their wedding, and in crossing
the bridge, Miss Brown, the bride elect, insisted that her in-
tended should wrap a worsted comforter round his neck to
keep out the cold. He positively refused, a quarrel ensued,
and the result was that they threw everything they had
purchased, even to the ring and keeper, into the Thames.
THE LATE FIRES IN DRURY..LANE.—Last night Mr.
Bedford concluded the inquiry which had been thrice ad-
journed, touching the origin of the three fires which lately
and at different periods broke out in the premises, 90 and 91,
Drury-lane, As on the former occasions, the inquiry was
held at the Duke of Wellington. Evidence having reference
to the insane woman, Harrison, brought to Bow-street
Police-office yesterday, was taken, and the jury after being
engaged for three.quarte, s of an hour in deliberation, found
the following verdict:—' That the premises No. 90 and 91,
Drury-lane, took fire respectively on the 11th and 14th of
January, but how such premises so respectively took fire
there is no evidence to satisfy the jury." The foreman, in
the name of the jury, stated tliat no suspicion was attached
to any one but the unfortunate woman alludedto.
Of Punch's Almap4c4, which appeared at the open-
ing of 1846, upwards of 100,000 copies were sold in ten
days. For the advertisements which appeared in the pub-
lication, the charge was at the astounding rate of forty-five
guineas per page. The money received for advertisements
in that number of Punch could not have been less than Ng

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIOBT BRUCE.)
BOWLES V. SAENZ.
His HONOUR, in giving judgment, said this case was
between the plaintiffs, English merchants, who had a
house in London and in the State of New Granada, and
the defendants, who were citizens of New Granada. In
1841 and 1842 contracts were entered into, first between
the plaintiffs and the Government of New Granada, and,
secondly, between the plaintiffs and the defendants. By
the first the plaintiffs contracted with the Government
for 100,000 arobahs of tobacco annually, to be paid for
by remittances ; and by the second, the defendants con-
tracted to consign to the plaintiffs in London 40,000
arobahs of tobacco, the defendants having permission to
draw on them to a certain amount. A third contract
was made between the plaintiffs and the defen-
dants and the Government of New Granada,
but it did not affect the merits of the suit. The com-
plaint was, that subsequently to that third contract the
defendants had failed to fulfil the terms of the second
contract, and by sending the 40,000 arobahs, or part of
them, to another house, had not only deprived the plain-
tiffs of their commission, but had injured their character
in the tobacco market. An injunction was, therefore,
applied for by the plaintiffs.
His HONOUR said, that various questions of law, of
equity, and of fact were raised by the case on which he
had not felt his mind satisfied by the arguments, though
able, which had been conducted before him. He there- ,
fore thought he would do the least injury to any party
concerned if he refused the motion, and reserved the costs.
BURKETT V. RANSOM.
His HoNouß said that the Court would grant an
action at law in this case, if the parties concerned had
wished it, and the more so as he himself had felt inclined
to have the opinion of a Court of law upon it, but as
both plaintiff and defendant agreed to waive that
election, he had considered the merits of the claim.
The claim of George Goldsmith against the estate of the
testator was for 1,0001., the amount of a promissory
note. His Honour thought that the mere production of
the note, and the proof of the testator's signature, the
nudum factum, would have been sufficient to support the
plaintiff's claim. But he had to consider it in the light
of the evidence 'of Mr. Ransom, who was admitted on
both sides to be a neutral party, whose evidence could
be received without prejudice. He alleges that the tes-
tator told him he had promised George Go'dsmith
1,000/., and that he had given that amount to Elliston
Allan, without security, considering that the money would
have been safe, but he had reason for fear from the state
of Allan's affairs. Align became bankrupt, and George
Goldsmith meeting with the testator, reminded him of
his promise, and asked security to the amount of
1,0001., in consequence of which the testator
gave him the promissory note produced in the suit. The
testator and Allan had since both died. The questions
raised were, whether Goldsmith, before the note had been
given him, had acquired an equitable right against the
estate of the testator, or of Allan, that is, whether the
note was for value given, and whether the testator was
liable to make good to Goldsmith the value of the note.
His HONOUR having commented on these questions
decided that the claim should be admitted.

COMMON PLEAS(-THIS DAY.)

COCKSHE AD V. RICHARDS.

Their LORDSHIPS delivered judgment this morning in
the present case, which was a motion applied for a few
days ago by Sir Thomas Wilde for a rule for a new
trial, on the ground of misdirection. The action was one
for libel, and was tried before the Lord Chief Justice in
the last sittings after term. It arose out of the defendant
having received a letter from the mate of the vessel, of
which the former was master, charging him with
drunkenness and other improper proceedings. The de-
fendant communicated the contents of the letter to Mr.
Ward, the owner, in order that he might take such steps
as he thought expedient to protect the crew, the ship, and
the cargo. The plaintiff was in consequence dismissed
from the command of the vessel, and accordingly he
brought the present action. A verdict was found fur the
defendant, on the ground that the letter complained of
came under the head of privileged communications, and
that he was morally bound to make such to the owner,
if he had good reason to suppose danger to the property
and crew; as otherwise the ship, and those in it, might
be placed in great danger.
Counsel showed cause against the rule, and the judg-
ment of the Court was delivered by
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL, who declared that the
letter complained of was a privileged communication, and
that the rule ought to be discharged.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN dissented from the judgment of
the rest of their Lordships, and said, that after the most
careful consideration he could not lo! ,k upon the letter
as a privileged cotnrounication.— Rule discharged.
CRIM. CON.—CLARKE V. DUNSFORD.

Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL was heard this morning
against a rule obtained by Sir Thomas Wilde a few days
ago (a report of which appeared injhe Sun) for a new
trial or to enter a nonsuit. The point then raised by
the defendant was, that the plaintiff had engaged to pro-
duce material evidence on the trial relating to what took
place in the county of Middlesex, whereas the only evi-
dence adduced was a letter from Mrs. Wiekes, of Bath,
to the defendant, respecting the taking of lodgings in
that city, which Counsel on that side contended was not
at all material to the case, and was not at all necessary
to the verdict.

Yesterday, shortly before the rising of the Court, Mr.
Sergeant Talfourd was heard against the rule, and thi:.;
morning Mr. Sergeant Channel followed on, the same
side.

Their LORDSHIPS, on reviewing the whole case, were
of opinion that the letter formed a connecting link in the
proceeding, and that they had not heard sufficient to
warrant them granting the application. 'Their decision,
therefore, was, that the rule be discharged.—Rule dis-
charged accordingly.

PEROGATIVE —(THIS DAY.)
(Befure Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST.
ADAIR V. SWETE.

This was a proceeding to admit additional articles to
revoke a codicil to the will of the late Sir Robert Adair.
The allegation stated in 1639, at the time of the making
of the codicil, the testator was wholly incapable of execut-
ing any testamentary document, and the articles averred
that at the time the testator did not know who he left -ex.
ecutors, whether he had any sons or not, and 'Oe would
get up at night and walk about and think 'it was day.
Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST. giving judgment, said,
this proceeding must be 7fjected, as it now came too late,
the care had be.:l previously before the Court, and it
might 11'::-e then been pleaded.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Joseph Ninth. of Fleet-street, paper-hanger, ap-
peared this day before Mr. Twyford for final examina-
tion upon a eharge of forging a receipt for the purpose of
defrauding Mr. Fitzpatrick, a solicitor.
The evidence has already appeared in the columns
of The Sun.

The case had been adjourned from this day fortnight,
at the prisoner's own wish, in order that the statement
of another witness might be heard, and that he might not
be taken by surprise at thelsessions, but as Mr. Fitz-
patrick had determined not to call this witness, the
prisoner was now committed to take his trial.
Mr. TWYFORD took bail for the prisoner's appearance
at the sessions.

SHREWSBURY and BIRMINGHAM

RAILWAY COMPANY.

TO THE EDITOR OF 7711 E SUN.
SIR,—We have by many parties had our attention
called to a report in your paper of a meeting of the
shareholders, in Manchester, of the Dudley and Madeley
Company, in which the Secretary of the Shrewsbury
and Birmingham Company is represented to have made
various statements without a correct knowledge of the
facts to which he was speaking.
We should be wanting in our duty to the shareholders
in the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Stafford-
shire Junction Company, whom we represent, did we not
endeavour to prevent the public being misled by that
want of information on his part.
He, in the first place, is reported to have stated that the
line proposed and introduced into the House of Commons
last year, and lost on standing orders, was only a
branch of the Grand Junction Company when that rail-
way was proposed by the Grand Junction Company.
The offer they made to the inhabitants of Shrewsbury
was, that they might take the whole of the shares for
raising the required capital, and that the Grand Junc-
tion Ccmpany would take a lease of the line, guarantee-
ing 4 per cent. on the outlay, with an equal division of
the profit afterwards, or that they might take what pro-
portion of such shares they might think fit, the remain-
der to be offered to the public generally, and if not by
them taken, they, the Grand Junction Company, would,
as a Company, retain them. Such arrangement was
acted upon, and more than half the shares were taken in
Shrewsbury, and by the public generally ; the remainder
were taken by the Grand Junction Company.
In the latter part of last year it was pro-
posed to the Grand Junction Company that the
Shrewsbury Company should be remodelled, and that
Company, with the greatest liberality, placed in the
hands of the committee the whole of the shares retained
by them in th• former Company, and which shares were
distributed with scrupulous care to parties locally in-
terested in the line (now called the Shrewsbury, Wolver-
hampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Company),
not one being given to the Oxford, Worcester, and W olver-
hampton Railway Company, to the South Staffordshire
Junction Company, or to the Grand Junction Company,
as stated by the secretary of the Shrewsbury and Bir-
mingham Railway Company. It is also necessary for us
to state that the three Companies named, as holding so
large a portion of the capital of the Shrewsbury, Wolver-
hampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Company are
in no other way connected with it than by running into
the same station at Wolverhampton, which station is to
be erected at the joint expense of the four Companies.
We also avail ourselves of this opportunity of contra-
dicting another statement—viz., that the Shrewsbury
and Birmingham Company had the support of the
London and Birmingham Railway Company. We can
confidently say that such is not the case, either directly
or indirectly.—Your obedient servants,
CHARLES CORSER,
JAMES WHITNEY,
Secretaries to the Shrewsbury-, Wolverhampton,
and South Staffordshire Junction Company.
