EX-PARTE SWINTON AND OTHERS.

Mr. RUSSELL, Q.C„ applied to the Court for an interim
order, restraining the defendants from receiving the sum of
13,525/., which had been paid in to the Accountant-General,
deposits on the proposed capital of the Northern and Southern
Connecting Railway.
It was alleged that out of 60,000 shares 16,000 were
issued, and only 12,000 allotted, the others being reserved
by the provisional committee till a rise in price might take
place ; and that the money of the shareholders bad been
employed by the committee on the Stock Ex-
change, to give a fictitious value to the shares
of the railway, by the purchase of their own shares
at a premium. In November some of the shareholders
objected to going to Parliament. The Committee, however,
went to Parliament ; but on petition of the plaintiffs and
others, the Bill, after a first reading in the House of Com-
mons, was thrown out. The defendants, therefore, applied
to the Vice-Chancellor of England for an order for the re-
payment of the deposits.
Mr. RUSSELL now applied for an injunction restraining
their receiving the money, which was granted by the Court.

The Court was occupied the greater part of the day with
an ejectment case from the new trial paper, which possessed
no feature of public interest.

This was the only case of importance which came before
the Court to-day, and as it has already attained such noto-
riety, it is unnecessary to detail the particulars.
The Court now gave judgment, and was unanimously of
opinion, after a careful examination of the arguments, that
the case required farther investigation, and therefore that
the rule should be made absolute for a new trial.
Rule absolute.

FATALITIES FROM SUN-STROREs.—On Wednesday, a
labourer, named James Wakefield, while at work in a field at Kings-
ley, was what is commonly termed " sun-struck," and died imme-
diately. On the following day another labourer, named James Bur-
gess, at Netherton, was killed in the same sudden and dreadful man-
lier. Decomposition was so rapid, that each of the bodies was a mass
of putrefaction an hour after death. Inquests were held before Mr.
11. Charton, coroner, and verdicts in accordance with the evidence
were returned.—ProrincicaPaper.
THE ARMY.—It is confidently stated that there will
be a grand review of troops in Hyde-park, before his Highness
Ibrahim Pacha, either on the 17th or the 19th of the present month,
when, in addition to the household infantry and cavalry,
Hussars and Royal Artillery will go through the various the 7th

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather dull.
Sales, 5,000 to 6,000 bales. Shares continued flat.
By the brig Nelson, arrived at Liverpool, advices of Feb.
7 have been received from Wellington, New Zealand. The
following are the most interesting items, referring to events
in another part of the colony, with which it appeared the
post-office communication was extremely irregular, so much
so, in fact, as to place the settlers at Wellington in a very
poor position for getting news of events at Auckland
"A proclamation has been issued by which the debentures
are recalled, and certain terms are proposed for their re-
demption. The amount of debentures in circulation is stated
to be 36,0001., and at least 10,0001., or nearly a third of this
amount, was in circulation in this settlement.
" Again we learn, in the same indirect and casual way,
that fresh reinforcements have been received, and that the war
is renewed with increased vigour. An attack was to be made
on the rebels on a certain day. All sorts of rumours
are rife, and the settlers are placed in a most
painful state of anxiety and suspense, from which
there seems no present prospect of their being relieved. We
hear that Pomare, the faithless, treacherous, Pomare, has
deserted from the British camp and sided with the rebels.
This chief is connected by affinity or relationship with all the
principal chiefs in the southern district, and his example
may have considerable weight in determining their future
conduct, for aught the local Government may know to the
contrary, but no measures of precaution are adopted to guard
against any mischief that may ari'e."
The sixth anniversary of the settlement had been celebrated
iat Wellington.
There are accounts also, by a direct arrival, to Jan. 28,
from Port Philip. The colony was improving, and had an
immense.quantity of sheep and cattle available for wool and
tallow purposes, but chiefly the former.
The Funds have been very dull again, and there is no
improvement in their value. Consols for account have
realised 94% to 95. The premium on Exchequer-bills
has been 12s. to 17s. The New Three-and-a. Quarter per
Cents. have been 9634 to 97. East India Stock for account
is at 2661 A.
The Foreign Bonds are totally neglected. Not a bargain
is reported in Mexican. Spanish Three per Cents. have been
flat at 361/2 to 37. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been
at 45%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at
59%.
Shares are neglected.
