DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.
THE TIPPERARY BANK.—APPEALS FROM. THE ROLLS.
The Chancellor closed his sittings yesterday, but
not without hearing some more last words in the
case of the Tipperary B ink. The appeals from the
decision of the Rolls Court "In re Vincent Scully,
Wilson Kennedy, John Ginger, and 50 other Eng .
lists shareholders v. the Tipperary Bank," having
eon called on,
Tho Chancellor addressed the counsel previously eugsged
in them, and said he wished to know if it was intended to
proceed with the appeals from the decision of his Honour
the Mast,r of the Rolls, in the matter of the Tipperary ,
Joint-Stock Bai.k. He (the Chancellor) had placed all
those eases at the end of his list fur this present, or rather
the late term, on the application of and by consent of all
the paries, and he now desired to know if thosecases were
to be heard, as he (the Chancellor) would not allow them
to interfcie with the regular business of the Court during
the ensuing term.
Mr. Brewster, Q C. (who appeared for Mr. Vincent
Scully on the former occasion, when the eases were post-
poned), said ho was not instructed in the matter ; brit,.ke
might, he thought, say that it was not intended to proi„eiiii.„
with Vie appeals referred to at present. Nothing leatlinen
done since they were before the Court at the end of the
Long Vacation, the time specially fixed for their hearing ;
and nothing could, in fact, have been done in the way it
was intended to deal with the affairs of the bank. He (Mr.
Brewster) did not think his h r lship would be troubled
with those appeals at all, as far as he was in a pesitien to
form an opinion; but, as he said before, he was not in-
structed in the metier.

The Chancellor said he would be perfectly satisfied with
what hut been stated if he were sure he would hear no more
of thu appeals in question ; but he did not wish them to re-
main in his list u.idisposed of. The course, therefore, he
was inclined to take was to strike them all out if they
were not named. If not disposed of one way or another be;
fore the nezteterrn he (the Chancellor) would certainly not,
hear them until after term and all the other business was
disposed of.
The subject then dropped, and his Lordship proceeded
to dispose of other busines..

THE RECENT BANK PANIC.
The Cork Reporter, alluding t., the alleged origi-
nating cause of the run on the National Bank,

says :
The late decision of the Lord Chancellor, that has created
this temporary alarm about j,,iut-stock banks, has evi-
dently been misunderstood. He does not relieve share-
holders from their liabilities. His decision, if cenfirmed,
merely says that the 334 Geo. 11. does not apply to the
pre seutjoint-stock banks; but, by another, and a more
re2eut act of Parli,lment, shareholders are liable for all the
debts, and their liability lasts for three years after they
cease to hold shares. By the 33,1 Gee. IL, under which
au attempt was made to bring the Tipperary Bank, the
shareh,litei s could never ba relieved from liability. How-
ever, the three banks of issue in the south of Ireland have
such a position that they cannot be disturbed by any deci-
sion or rumours.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.
THE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE.
The prisoner, Michael George. Harrington, was
brought up for further examination at Capel-street
police-oftice this day. A servant woman named
O'Halloran deposed that the prisoner had not been
from his home later than half-past 9 o'clock on any
night since the last week of October. The magis.
trate said that independent of this testimony he
had DO hesitation in saying that, upon the infor-
mations received on Saturday, there was no case
whatever against Harrington.
The prisoner was then discharged.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 6 per mile premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.20 per 11. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 3/, 17s. 10id. per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
5-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is
423 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.24 Per 11. Iter.
ling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is there.
fore about 8-10ths per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in
London. The course of exchange at New York on
London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1094 per cent.,
which, when compared with the Mint par between the
two countries, shows that the exchangeis slightly against
England ; and, after making allowance for charges of
transport and difference of interest, the present rate
leaves scarcely any profit on the importation of gold
from the 'United States.
