THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1856

correspondent, who writes from St. Petersburg with a I
thorough knowledge of Russia, that, if this pledge be
duly observed, it must be fatal to the present protection
of the Russian iron trade. For our part, however, we
would rather not embark in an undertakicg which
I.rought us idto collision with any wealthy Russian class.
We are reminded, indeed, that the iron lords of Russia
—the Dernidoffi and the rest—are only a civil or lower
nobility. But it is not moral prestige that is in question.
This is not a conflict of opinion with opinion, or an in•
terchange of ideas from soul to soul. It is that which
pssses from palm to palm that isnow in qu,:sti9. Thera
are in Russia many men whose wealth and position de.
pend on a high price of iron. There are also, even round
the very person of the Czar, many ill paid, or at least
needy functionaries. Even the late Czar c.iuld not
help much that he deplored and could not always de
'ect, and the present Czar is comparatively young.
1 Nobody shall persuade us but what there were Ru•isians
who knew what they were about when the improvident
nargain was made with the American Company for the
maintenance of the Moscow Railway, and that they
found their account in that transaction. So, though we
are told that every pound of iron and other material
r- spired for the railway shall come in duty free, yet the
very promise, and the state of things which it indicates,
contributes to our feeling that the contractor for these
railways has his head in a lion's mouth. He is at the
mercy of the beast, and that beast not one, but many.
He may be let off. Supposing the thing to answer, the
railways to be made cheap, and the traffic to be produc-
ive, then most probably prosperity would leave no
occasion for font play. But what if the whole should be
a vast disaster ? It will then be a distribution of losses,
in which case woe to the man who is at the mercy of
another.

At home we all know too well how slowly railways
have fulfilled the sweet promise of making their own
traffic, and how far some of the principal companies are
even now from the desired result. In these Russian
lines, in the first place, the whole country is such as has
been described—as thinly peopled as our own most re-
mote and mountainous districts ; then, all the in.titu-

tions of the country, and all its industrial arrangements
—particularly the attempt of every proprietor to be
complete within the borders of his own estate—are op-
posed to regular traffic. Further, the lines are laid out,
not for passenger traffic or for commerce, but for mili-
tary purposes. In fact, the Western States are invited
to make for Russia a military road from 'he Baltic to
the Euxine, and military roads from St. Petersburg and
Moscow to Warsaw and Konigsberg, enabling eer to
lay armies at a few days' notice on the frontier of Prus-
sia and Austria. The rejection of Riga and Odessa in
favour of Libau and Raffa is a significant commentary
on the announcement that Russia intended henceforth
to devote herself to the' works ot peace and social ices
provement. There is no reason, however,—at
there will be no objection felt, tee assist in the formati en
of military roads it they will become great channels of
trade, and if, by so doing, they will pay a good divi-
dend. But the interests of trade are utterly set at
nought, as well as the interests of the shareholders, by
railways which leave Odessa out of the question, and in
the north, propose to encounter the competition of the
railway from Riga up the valley 3f the Dwina. With
regard to the cost of construction, the burn to which
the guarantee of 5 per cent. extends is considerably
less than the average coat of British railways, and it
rests with the touters in the interest of the concessi to
to show that the lines can be done for at least that
,su n.
Our Russian correspondent is no mean authority, and
he says that they cannot ; on the contrary, that much
of the country—for instance, that on the line from
Little Archangel to Libau, traver-ing the head-wat:rs
of many considerable rivers and the intervening ridges
—is quite as difficult and costly ae our own. Of ceurie,
all the expenditure above 16,000/ per mile will be at the
risk of the company, and the interest of that sae .es
must be deducted from the 5 per cent, to be received.
Should the lines, then, involve a total expenditure of
24,0001. a mile, and the revenue not exceed the gua-
rautee, the difference due to the shareholder will be only
.24 per cent. When he has received this nuageificlut
interest for his money for 20 years, the Rassian Govern-
ment will have, it appears. the right of purchasing the
railway at a valuation based on the net profits of the
14. t five years. We very much suspect that even 20
years hence the profits will be nil, and that, by the
terms of the concession, the Czar will be able to walk
into the 2,600 miles of railway with no other payment
or formality than a civil speech to the unfortunate pro-
prietors. With this dismal prospect we are resigned to
see this magnificent cencession pass into other hands.
There are tradesmen, indeed, so devoted to their
bueinese, and so proud ot fashionable customers,
that they are glad to supply a Lord for nothing,
or, what comes to the same thing, at ruinous
credit. Our contemporary would be glad to supply
so grand a personage as the Emperor of All the Russian
with rails, chairs, and locomotives on almost any terms.
We are old fashioned enough to estimate a customer by
the intrinsic value of his custom, end the intrinsic value
I of the custom in this instance we believe to be a very
minus quantity.

LA IV INTEL LIGENCE.—Nov. 24.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

;Before the Lord Chancellor, the Lords Justices, and
Mr. Justice Cresswell.)

EX PARTE THE OFFICIAL MANAGER IN RE WINDING-EP
ACTS AND THE ROYAL BANK OF AUSTRALIA.

This appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Stuart,
assisted by Mr. Jwtice Erie, was argued at Westminster
before the full Court of Appeal, with Mr. Justice Cres-
well and Mr. Baron Martin, a short time before the long
vacation. The point, which is one of considerable impor •
tance, was whether a call made by the Master under the
Winding-up Acts was a specialty debt, or only a simple
contract one? It appeared that a Mr. R ibinson took
120 shares in the abovementioned bank, and signed the
deed of settlement. Robinson died, and his executors
paid allay a considerable portion of his assets in liqui-
dating the simple ce:itract debts of their testator; and
the quesi ion raised by this motion was whether they
were to be allowed those payments as against the call if
1001. per share wade by the Master upon the 120 shares
held by Robinson ? The Master decided that the call
under the Winding-up Act was a specialty debt ; but
Vice-Chancellor Stuart said Mr. Justice Erie, reversing
that decision, held that it was only a simple contract
one. The case was placed in the paper this morning for
judgment.
Mr. Justice Cresswell read the opinion come to by
himself and Mr. Baron Martin, which, after analysing
the deed and the Winding-up Acts, was in effect the
same as that come to by the Court below—viz., that the
call was only a simple contract debt.
The Lord Chancellor said the Celia would deliver its
judgnient on Thursday week.
(Before the Lords Jeetices of Appeal.)
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK—AITCHISON V. LEE.

Mr. Glas,,e (with Mr. D. Lewis) applied, soon aftEr
their Lordships had returned from the Lord Chancellor's
Court, for leave to give short notice of motion of appeal
from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Kindersley, pro•
nounced about ten minutes before, in order that their
lordships might, if kind enough to accede to the applica-
tion, hear the case which, in consequence of its great
importance, all parties were most desirous should be
heard and ear,y disposed of.
Mr. Roit sa d that the parties whom he represented
were equllly anxious that the matter should be soon dis
posed of. He was, however, himself engaged at the
Judicial Committee of the Privy Council ou Wednesday
next.

Lord Justice Knight Bruce—Of course, the case can-
not be heard with anything like such celerity, for to•
morrow is the last day of rerm. The best plan will be
t i take leave to give short notice of motion for to•mor-
row morning (this day), and, although we cannot hear
it at once, some period for the hearing can then be
arranged.

Isaac Moses, the two persons who were with the last
witness when the offensive words were used.
The defendant said he did not deny that he did offer
them a piece of pork, but it did tr.)t belong to him, but
to a ventleman on the top of the omnibus.
Sir J. Duke (sharply to defendant)—Then I fine you
20s. and costs, or in default 14 days' imprissument. It
is not to be tolerated that respectable citizens of Lon-
don arc to be insulted as they walk along the streets,
merely because they are Hebrews.
In the course of the day the fins was paid, and Mr.
Levy requested the costs might be put into the po. r-
box.
Sir Peter La•irie drew the attention of Sir James
Duke to the awful increme of crime by foreigners in
this country of late. He held in his hand a return
which he had received from Mr. Jones, the clerk of
the papers at Newgate, from which it appeared that
during the year no less than 64 foreigners had been
Committed for trial. The monthly committals were as
follows : January, 6 ; February, 5 ; March, 3; April,
5 ; May, 10 ; June, 4 ; July, 6 ; Anguet, 2; Septem-
ber, S ; Oetober, 3 ; and to the 20th of November, no
le,s than 10.
Sir James Duke said these facts would no doutt
attract the attention of Sir George Grey, and some
course would no doubt soon be adopted to remedy
the evil.

LAMBETH.—Patrick Mackler, at one time an ex-
pert rider at Astley's, Vauxhall Gardens, and
other places, was charged with committing a savage
assault on the person of Mrs. Julia Farrill, his
mother-in-law.
The complainant, whose nose was covered with ad-
hesive plaister, and of a prodigious size, said that on
Saturday night last she was at the house of her
daughter, in Vauxhall-square, when the prisoner came
borne the worse for liquor, and began to abuse his
wife about not having his supper ready, and on her
(witness) saying something kind to pacify him, he
snatched up the candlestick, and with the sharp edge
of the bottom struck her a desperate blow on the
bridge of the nose, which cut it through, so that her
nose hung quite down, and at f-Irst she thought it was
cut right from ber face. She was taken to the house
of a surgeon, who strapped up the wound and placed
her nose in a proper form again, but she felt quite sure
she should carry the disfigurement to her grave.
The constable who apprehended the prisoner pro-
duced the candlestick with which the wound had been
inflicted, and which was covered with blood.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that his
mother-in law, the complainant, was a complete pest to
him, that he could not keep her out of his place, and it
was not many weeks since she charged him at this court
With stealing a sovereign belonging to her.
Mr. Elliott told him he bad been guilty of a most
savage assault, and sentenced him to six mouths' bard
,abour in Wandsworth House of Correction.

SOUTHWARK—CharIes Bond, Sarah, Jane Bond,
his wife, Alfred Fennell, and Jemima Fennell were placed
in the dock for re-examination, charged with plundering
trarle4men in different parts of the metropolis of property,
comisting of furniture, glass, watches, weari g apparel,
be- r, wine, and provisions, to the extent of more than
1,000/.

Owing to the publicity given Lo the last examination
in the newspapers, the court was crowded by tradespeople
from alt parts of London and the suburbs who had been
victimised by the prisoners.
It will be recollected that the prisoners were charged
with victimising two tradesmen residing in the vicinity
of Portman-square. Witnesses were also in attendance
from the following firms, who were patronised with
orders by Mrs. Bond, alias Bone :—The French Muslin
Company, li, Oxford-street, who sent a Paisley and
merino shawl for approval ; T. Holt, bedstead-maker,
315, Oxford-street, two mattresses and a bedstead ;
Drnce and Company, 58, Baker-street, three rolls of car-
peting ; Mr. Green, 168, Oxford-street, a valuable tea
caddy, workbox, dres-ing-case, and ebony inkstand ;
Draper and Co., brewers, Oxford-street, two casks of
beer ; Marshfield, John's-weod, two dozen of ale and
two dozen of stout ; E. Wellington, High-street, Port-
land-town, a greatcoat, pair of trousers, and vest; Hol-
loway and Co., Minories, an American clock ; Robins,
oil and colourman, Boston-street, Dorset-square, i-oap,
soda, oil, &c. ; Ames and Co., cheesemongers, St. John's-
wood, two hams, butter, and pig's head ; Good, St.
John's wood, fruit ; Powell, Paddington, a trunk ; J.
Harsh, 69, High-street, St. John's-wood, boots and
slippers; Collar i and Co., pastry ; Rush and Co.,
and Borrall and Co , ladies' and gentlemen's boots ;
Sharpus, 49, Oxturd-street, glass ; Harris Watson, 19,
Wilson street, Finsbury, fenders, &o. ; Dyson and
Co., Portland-town, groceries ; Seale, St. John's-wood,
books and newspapers ; Lodge, butcher, Queen's
terrace, meat ; Adam, corn.—The whole of this property
was delivered on Saturday, the 15th, and Monday, the
17th, and was discovered by Inspector Mackenzie and
Police-constable Bell, at 3, Alfred-place, Old Kent-road.
Mr Combe said that he should commit the prisoners
for trial on the evidence of the witnesses who had been
examined. The solicitor for the prosecution could indict
them for the other cases if he thought proper, but he con-
sidered sufficient had been taken for a jury.
Mr. Thomson said that under those circumstances he
should reserve his defence, but he asked his worship to
admit Mr. and Mrs. Bond to bail.

Mr. Dod objected to that. If they required bail the
way would be to apply to a judge at Chambers.
Mr. Combe said that he should certainly not admit
either to bail, as a most extensive system of swindling
and fraud appeared to have been carried on by them.
They must all be committed to norsemonger-lane gaol
for trial.

DUBLIN, MONDAY,
THE MURDER OP MR. LITTLE.

Very little has transpired since Friday in the
shape of facts calculated to throw any fresh light
upon the mystery of the Broadstone murder.
Rumours there are to no end of the discovery of
;paw links in the evidence connecting some person
or another with a knowledge of the crime ; but
people have ceased to place any faith in these re-
ports, which, for the most part, are contradicted
wits the same rapidity as they are circulated. The
private investigation before Mr. Kemmis continues
from day to day without scarcely an hour's inter-
mission, awl was proceeding yesterday at an ad-
♦anced hour in the afternoon. The only reliable
information obtainable from an authorised source
is to the effect that but little doubt is entertained
of a speedy arrest, and that many days, perhaps
hours, will not elapse without the efforts of the
police being crowned with complete success. Th•
following items of intelligence are taken from this
morning's papers :

" The investigation of the circumstances connected
with this murder continued nearly all Friday night, and
was resumed by Mr. Kemmis early on Saturday morn-
ing. From 7 o'clock on Friday evening up to several
hours past midnight 20 of the detective police were
working with the most praiseworthy zeal to try and ob-
tain every particle of available information, and at one
period on Saturday night a very slight link of evidence
appeared only wanting to justify the arrest on suspicion
of one of the company's servants. Anonymous commu-
nications are pouring in, some giving hints, and others
all but naming the assassin ; and one thing is certain,
that the circle round the guilty party or parties is
every hour becoming more circumscribed, and not a
particle of doubt rests on the minds of the investigators
at the present moment of the murderer being a per-
son employed on the railway. The proceedings at the
investigation on Saturday were even more strictly pri•
vate than on Friday. The police have received instruc-
tions to keep all persons off the premises who have
not actual business to transact connected with the rail-
way or those who are called on to give evidence at the
investigation. Rumours of all kinds relative to this
murder were in circulation through the city yesterday,
but not one of them had the slightest foundation in fact.
Up to the present no arrest has taken place. Saturday
evening, at 4 o'clock, Mr. Horstnan, M.P., Chief Se-
cretary for Ireland, accompanied by Colonel Browne,
visited the terminus, and was conducted through the
building by Alderman Boyce. He examined minutely
every part of the room where the murder was committed,
and expressed himself most anxious for the discovery of
the murderer. The investigation, which was resumed
by Mr. Kemmis on Saturday, continued during the
day, and did not terminate until nearly 5 o'clock yester-
day morning. The Crown Solicitor, Mr. Superintendent
Guy, and the detective police under their direction, are
unceasing in their efforts, and, notwithstanding the ad-
vanced hour at which the investigation concluded yes-
terday morning, it was again resumed in the course of
the day, when several new witnesses were examined, and
others re-examined. So strictly private is the manner
in which the proceedings are carried on it is utterly
impossible to obtain any information that can he well
relied upon. The police appear to be over anxious to
keep from the public any facts which have come to their
knowledge, which may be given without any fear of
compromising the ends of justice. On the contrary, it
is generally believed if there was publicity given to sorne
matters with which tiny are acquainted they would de-
rive a vast amount of information and many usefal sug
gestions. Up to a late hour last night the police were
sent in every direction to make inquiries and glean in-
formation that could be brought to bear on the parties
suspected of the murder. Field, the London detective,
was expected in town on Saturday evening, but has n t
arrived up to the present. The investigation will be
resumed this day.
" Surprise has given place to indignation at the fact
that no reward has yet been offered by Government for
the detection of the murderer. The railway company,
though tardily, offered 2001., and two relatives of the
deceased have promised a sum almost equal in amount,
and have at their own expense engaged a celebrated Eng-
lish official to investigate the circumstances. Our own
detectives are astute, practised men, and surely, bad
they been adequately support. d while the trail was, so
to speak, warm, results might have been achieved that
are now at least doubtful. As a proof that the transac-
tion originated in circumstances connected with the esta-
blishment, it is now mentioned that during the first three
months of Mr. Little's connection with the company,
is
cashier, a sum of from 501. to 801. was taken from him.
The medical gentlemen by whom the post-ntortem, exa-
mination was made are now of opinion, from the result
of the experiments with the recovered instruments, that
the first blow was inflicted from the side, and not by a
person standing in front as was at fir-t supposed. Search
has been diligently made in every quarter by the p 'lice,
in which it was considered possible that traces suggee-
tive of participation in the crime might be discovered,
but without anything being obtained that would brisig
home guilt to any party—a circumstance that ceases to

be surprising when it is remembered that the murdersf
bad fully two days at his di,posal for the purposes or
concr;a!ment, indep.ndent of the interval which
since • apsed."
Poor Mr. Little has left an aged mother and
two sisters to deplore his tragic fate. The former is
'not expected to recover the shock which her sys-
tem received on hearing of the murder, and she
continued for several hours in fainting fits, which
threatened a fatal result. The family resided in a
fashionable locality in the southern suburbs of the
city, and fully two miles from the offices of the
Midland Railway. The deceased was a native of
Wexford, and his relatives there hold a highly re-
spectable position in society.
