COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
EARN .RD V. lINNTER.

The further arguments in this case were cnntinned

certain deeds executed by a person of the name of Lyde,
the testator in the cause, in favour of the defendant
Hunter, who was his solicitor, and to establish a claim
of the the plaintiffs, who were Lyde's executors, and
Eliza Cox, his adopted daughter and legatee under his
will, on a sum of 3,0001. now in Court, in the suit of
Vincent v. Hunterr

LORDS JUSTICES COURT.

EX PARTE WRYGHT -IN RE MARK BOYD-IN BANKRUPTCY

Mr. Bacon, this morning, proceeded with his argu-
ment in favour of Mr. M. Boyd. This was a petition of
Mr. Wryght, the official manager of the Royal Bank of
Australia under the Winding-up Act, praying for a re•
versal of tie deci.ion of Mr. Commissioner Fane, who,
on the 26th July last, allowed the bankrupt a certificate
of the first class.

The case had not concluded when our report left.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Kindersiey.)
IN THE MATTER OF THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.
Mr. Rolt made an cx parte application to his Honour
to restrain the official manager, Mr. Hariing, from
proceeding in the winding up of the affairs of the Royal
British Bank Until his Honour bad delivered judgment
upon the case argued at the beginning of the week on
behalf of the official assignee and Bankruptcy messen-
ger. The circumstances upon which the present appli-
cation was grounded were, that certain advertisements
had appeared in the public papers, announcing that the
premises lately occupied by the bank would be disposed
of by tender, and also that the official manager had
issued various writs against the debtors of the bank.
All these proceedings bad taken place without authu-
rity. If Mr. Harding were not restrained from selling
the property in epiestion the creditors and debtors would
be involved in contests with the official and 'creditor
assignees, as since the arguments in the case had begun
there had been a meeting, and the creditors had chosen
a gentleman to act as assignee with the official as-
signee in Bankruptcy. Of course this was an ex parte
application, but a letter had been transmitted to the
solicitors of Mr. Harding, giving him notice that the
present application would be made.

His Honour seeing Mr. Glasse and Mr. Lewis, who
wero counsel for the official manager in the Chancery
proceedings in court, asked whether they had been in-
structed to oppose the present motion.
Mr. Glasse said he had not, but he hoped that the

present application would not be granted, or it would

occasion great difficulty in winding up the affairs of
the bank in Chancery, inasmuch as it was made by

persons who were not contributors, an.l who had no

right to interfere with the proceedings in Chancery. The
present application was made by parties who were pro-
ceeding with great haste in the Court of Bankruptcy
against the bank. There was not a day on which
the public papers did not teem with advertisements and
reports of long speeches about what the decision of this
Court was to be, and yet, while those parties refused to
stop their own proceedings, they came to this court to
stop that which had been approved of by his Honour's
chief clerk. The stopping the proceedings of the offi-
cial manager would be of real advantage to the parties
who made the present application, and he (Mr. Glasse)
hoped his Honour would not put a stop to them.

His Honour said he did not look at it in that light.
Mr. Glasse—No, you won't.
Mr. Giffard— No, nor anything else of common sense,
:Laughter.)

His Honour said, if there was no question to be deter-
mined between the official manager and the official as•
idgnee—if he was informed that in any case of winding-
up the official manager was proceeding to enter into
contract for the sale of property, the title to which
was disputed, he should, without injunction, restrain
him from doing so, until the question was definitely
settled. The winding-up was under his control in cham•

hers, and it was therefore his duty, such being the case,
to restrain the sale of the property. In the first case
there was a question between the official manager and
the official assignee, as to the title to the property of

the bank, and the course he should suggest under the
circumstances was, that the present application
should therefore stand over until Tuesday,
or the following day, and that in the interim the official

manager, Mr. Harding, should abstain from entering
into any contracts for the disposal of• the property of
the bank. As far as the issuing of the writs was con-

cernod, it was exceedingly desirable that no unnecessary
expense should be incurred.
It was ultimately arranged between the counsel that
the matter should stand over until Wednesday next, and
that the official manager was to-be restrained until after

hat day of disposing of any of the property in quell•

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

',Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Justices Cole-
ridge, Wigbtman, and Erle.)
PYBITS V. GIBBS AND OTHERS.-JUDGMENT.

The Court delivered judgment in this case. The
plaintiff was high bailiff of a County Court, and the de-
fendant Gibbs was his under-bailiff. The defendant with
two others entered into a bond for the due performance
of his duties at the time of his accepting his appoint-
ment, when the debts recovered were under 201. Sub-
sequently to that various alterations had taken place in
the law, which had greatly increased the jurisdiction o
the Court, and materially, of course, altered and in-
creased the duties of the bailiff. Under the extended
jurisdiction of the Court, the defeirdant wrongfully levied
an execution ; and it was contended that the plaintiff
was indemnified from all action"' for the wrongdoing of
his deputy by the terms of the bond. On the part of
the defendant it was contended that the bond was of no
effect, the duties of the office having been materially
altered by the acts extending the jurisdiction of the
County Courts. The Court agreed with that view of the
case, and gave judgment for the defendants.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

MARLBOROTjGE-STREET.

ROBBING A CRIMEAN OFFICER.—Thomas Clifton, a
member of the swell-mob, was brought before Mr.
Bingham, charged with stealing a gold watch, the pro-
party of Captain Henry Uniacke, of her Majesty's 19th
Regiment of Foot, Aldershot, who has recently returned
from the Crimea.

The prosecutor deposed that about twelve o'clock last
night he was proceeding along Windmill-street, with a
lady, a friend of his, when all at once he felt a tug at his
watch-guard. He immediately put his band to his
waistcoat pocket, and found his guard hanging down and
his watch gone. He turned round and saw the prisoner
and two other men close by his side. They appeared
greatly confused, and the two other men ran away. He
directly collared the prisoner and held him till a police-
man was fetched, when he gave him into custody. The
chain remained suspended from his waistc3at, but the
watch was gone and bad not been seen since.
Police constable 319 A said he took the prisoner into
custody and conveyed him to the station, where he gave
his address 31, East-street, Borough. He had been to
this address, and° discovered that the prisoner was not
known there. As soon as the charge had been entered,
the lady who vas with the prosecutor ascertained that
her gold watch was gone also, having, no doubt, been
cut from the guard by the prisoner's companions. The
constable added that the prisoner was known as belong-
ing to the swell mnb, and he, therefore, wished
,to have
him remanded in order that be might make further
inquiries about him.
The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was re-
manded till Friday next.

Amaterro TELEGRAPH. —" In the Board of Aldermen
last evening," says the New York Herald of the 21st
ult., "a communication was received from the Mayor
calling attention to the labours of Commander Berry-
man and his brother officers of the United States steamer
Arctic, in sounding the Atlantic Ocean from St. John's
to the west coast of Ireland, with the view of testing the
feasibility of establishing telegraphic communication
between the old and new worlds. The exploration
having positively determined the practicability-of laying
a telegraphic cable between the two continents, the
Mayor recommended that suitable public notice be taken
of the event. Accordingly a resolution tendering the
freedom of the city to the officers and crew of the Arctic,
and placing the governor's room at their disposal for the
reception o their friends, was adopted.

RUSSIAN RAILWAYS AND RUSSIAN

TARIFFS.

The "Hertfordshire Incumbent" has addressed
the following letter to the editor of the Times :
The following remarks may perhaps be worth the
consideration of those of your readers whose atten-
tion has been attracted by the question of railroads
in Russia, and may serve to mitigate the appre-
hensions of some who view in these a means for
the rapid recovery of that predominating influence
which our late enemy has lost. They may like-
wise operate as a caution to the large class upon
whose shoulders great capitalists generally contrive
to shift the burden of unsuccessful undertakings
before their character is fully known, and thus
prevent widely-spread misery and consequent dis-
content both among ourselves and our neighbours.
The length of rail proposed for construction is
2,500 miles—whether single or double lines does not
as yet appear. I will assume it to be single, as the
case most favourable to the promoters of the under-
taking, on which supposition the length will still
exceed the aggregate of the lines constructed in
Prussia during the 15 years ending with 1849 by
about 300 miles. In these the quantity of iron em-
ployed has been estimated at 3,800 poods for each
verst of single rail, which, adding 20 per cent.
for the rolling stock, would give a total amount-
ing, in round numbers, to 100 tons of iron
for every English mile. Now, the whole make of
iron in Russia is set down by M. Tengoborstri as
no more titan 15,000,000 poods--less ttian 25,000
consumepy more than a ten years in tons per annum. Assuming, therefore, that the
con-
struction,proposed
th railroadseir
materialar w
are to
occupy
tithe of the whole production of the country.
Now, what would be the effect of this great in-
crease of consumption of iron—the prime mover,
as it has jugtly been called, of all industry—in the
country where, all in Europe, it is the scarcest
and the dearest t The consumption of Russia is
only 9.71 b. per head of the population, whereas in
Austria it is 12.31 b., in Prussia 36.31 b., in France
43.81 b., and in England 138.41 b I Even now,
throughout a great part of the empire the farm
horses are unshod and the farm carts without tire
to their wheels • and in many districts the very
ploughshare is of wood with a mere point of iron.
Surely the immediate result of any operations
which materially raised the price of iron would be
to entirely cripple agriculture, and thus at once

create a ferment of disconte'ut throughout the
length and breadth of the land. The average price
of bar iron in Moscow was in the year 1844 (since
which time, says M. Tengoborski, there has been
little variation) 1 rouble 6(i copecks the pood—
about 171. 3s. 6d. per ton. When we came to the
southern and south-western governments, through
which railway communication is in a military point
of view of the most importance, the price becomes
much higher. In Bessaiabia it is 1 rouble 91 co-
pecks the pood, in Cherson 1 rouble 83 copecks, in
Taurida 2 roubles 8 copecks, and in Podolia as
much as 2 roubles 16 copecks, which is equivalent
to about 221. 7s. per ton. Enhance such markets
as these by a new demand for the commodity, and
the consequences need not be suggested.
Of coarse a ready answer may be made, that the
proposed railroads are to be constructed of foreign
iron. This would doubtless be a solution of the
difficulty ; but it is one which implies a complete
change in the financial system of the empire. In
Russia alone, I believe, of all the countries in
Europe, sea-borne iron is absolutely prohibited,
simply with the object of preserving an entire inde•
pendence of this country for au article of such ne-
cessity. The Czar has chosen to fetter the energies
of his own subjects, and dwarf every department of
industry in which they could labour with effect,
rather than resort to us for the talisman which
would unlock the resources of his country. These
new railroads—if indeed, the " concessions" be
anything more than a puff-apple of discord, thrown
by the Muscovite Ate to disturb the happy union
of France and England—will only prove another
futile attempt to combine the advantages of civili-
sation with a policy of barbarism. To make bricks

without straw-wasnot a more difficult task than it

will be to establish a system of railroad communiea-

_
tion in Russia under a prohibitory tariff. . Whatever
the magnates of the Parisian Bourse may choose to
do, I hope the British public will open their eyes
to this fact ; in which case there will be little fear

of the power of our late enemy increasing until an
entire change of financial policy shall have deprived
him of the wish to abuse it.
