DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.
THE TIPPERARY BANK . -APPEALS FRO:11 THE ROLLS.

The Chancellor closed his sittings yesterday, but
not without hearing some more last words in the
case of the Tipperary Bank. The appeals from the
decision of the Rolls Court, " In re Vincent Scully,
Wilson Kennedy, John Ginger, and 50 other Eng
lish shareholders v. the Tipperary Bank," having
been called on,
The Chancellor addressed the counsel previously engaged
in them, and said he wished to know if it was intended to
proceed with the appeals from the decision of his Honour
the Master of the Rolls, in the matter of the Tipperary
Joint-Stock Babk. He (the Chancellor) had placed all
those cases at the end of his list for this present, or rather
the late term, on the application of and by consent of all
the parties, and he now desired to know if those cases were
to be heard, as he (the Chancellor) would not allow them
to interfere 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 cases were post-
poned), said he was not instructed in the matter ; but he
might, he thought, say that it was not intended to proceed
with the appeals referred to at present. Nothing had been
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 lordship would be troubled
with those appeals at all, as far as he was in a position to
form an opinion; but, as he said before, he was not in-
et' tided in the mat, er.

The Chancellor said he would be perfectly satisfied with
what had been stated if he were sure he would hear no more
of the appeals in question ; but he did not wish them to re-
main in his list uodisposed of. The course, therefore, he
was inclined to take was to strike them all out it they
were not named. If not disposed of one way or another be-
fore the next term 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 business.
THE RECENT BANK PANIC.
The Cork Reporter, alluding to the alleged origi-
nating cause of the run ou the National Bank,

say s :
The late decision of the Lord Chancellor, that has created
this temporary alarm about joint-stock banks, has evi-
dently been misunderstood. He does not relieve share-
holders from their liabilities. His decision, if ecnfirmed,
merely says that the 33d Goo. 11. does not apply to the
present joint-stock banks ; but, by another, and a more
recent act of Parliament, shareholders are liable for all the
debts, and their liability lasts for three years after they
cease to hold shares. By the 33d Geo. 11., under which
au attempt was made to bring the Tipperary Bank, the
shareholders could never be relieved from liability. How-
ever, tie 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-office 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 indepaident of this testimony he
had no hesitation in saying that, upon the infor-
mations received on Saturday, there was no case
whatever against Harrington.
Tue piisoner was then discharged.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 6 per milli) premium, and the short exchange on
London is 2520 per 11. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 31. 17s, 100. per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
s.loths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By
advices from Hamburg the prioe of gold is 423 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13'24 Per I/' ster-
ling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is there-
fore about 8-1(46 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in
London. The course of exc. ange at
New York on
.L•ndou for bills at 60 days' sight is 1094 per cent.,
which, when compared with the Mint
par between the
two countries, shows that the exchange is 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.
