prices have further advanced. In other respects the seed
trade is very firm, and late rates are well supported. Cakes

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL.-BOWER V. MACLEAN.

This was an appeal from the decision of Vice-Chancellor
Sir John Stuart, allowing demurer to the plaintiff's bill for
want of equity.
The plaintiff filed his bill for an injunction to restrain
the defendant from using his tramroad in working his ad-
jacent mine, for an account and a receiver.
At :the conclusion of the arguments on both sides the
Lord Chancellor reserved judgment.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls Sir John Romilly.)
JUDGMENT-IN RE FOWLES.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—After consi-
dering this matter, and looking to the facts of the case, I am
of opinion that on this petition for a re-taxation of the soli -
citor's bill of costs on payment of the mortgage in this case,
I can make no order for a re-taxation of the bill.
His Honour dismissed the petition, with costs.
LEWIS V. LEWIS.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, postponed the fur-
ther consideration of this case till Wednesday morning.

JUDGMENT,-NORMAN Y. KYNASTON.
His Honour, the Master of the Roils, on considering the
wording of the bequest in the testatrix's will, came to the
conclusion that there was an absolute gift of one half of
her fortune to Captain Norman Kynaston, and a beneficial
interest to his children to the value of the share belonging
to him, and declared accordingly, with costs out of the fund
to his personal representatives.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

:Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Jus-

ticg Hill, and Mr. Justice Blackburn.)
RUSSELL AND THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., moved for a rule calling on the Direc-
tors of the " Big Ship Company" to show cease why they
should not pay to him £lB,OOO, or return the amount to the
arbitrators for re-adjustment.

It appeared that a dispute having arisen between the
parties, the matter was referred to arbitration, that being
the mode appointed for the settlement of all such disagree-
ments. The company had refused to pay the money,
namely, £lB,OOO, under the award, and had neglected to
return the award to the arbitrators. Rule nisi granted.

COURT OF PROBATE.

(Before Sir C. Cresswell and Justices Wightman and

Williams.)

SHEDDEN AND SHEDDEN V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL

AND PATRICK.

This extraordinary case was resumed this morning.
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Dr. Deane, and Mr.
Powell appeared for the respondents ; the Attorney-Gene -
ral in person ; and Dr. Phillimore in aid of Miss Sheddon.
Miss Shedden, on the sitting of the Court, rose and ad-
dressed their lordships at considerable length, enlarging
upon the facts which she detailed on the previous occasion,
and which were reported in The Sun of Saturday. The
main object of her observations was to show that the mar-
riage of Mr. and Mrs. Sheddon was a valid one, and that
Sheddon was a British subject, and never became an Arne -
rics.n. To show these facts, she referred to and commented
on a vast number of circumstances and correspondences
which had taken place between 1760 and 1841. The lady,
who had been speaking upwards of two hours, had not
concluded on our going to press.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
THE SHORBDITCII BANK FAILITILE.-CHOICE OF ASSIG-

NESS.-IN RE DAVIES AND TONIONTON.

This morning was held a meeting for choice of assignees
in the matter of Davies and Co. (of the Shoreditch Bank),
whose disastrous failure has caused such consternation in
the parish of Shoreditch.
The court was densely crowded, and the creditors were
divided into two parties—one supporting Mr. Hill, and
the other Mr. Jeremiah Long. Each party was equally
certain of carrying his choice. Hill's side declared that
they represented £lO,OOO, while Long's supporters had only
£29,000. On the other hand, Long's party started with
£60,000, admitting bills £lO,OOO.
Mr. Linklater appeared in support of the petitioner; Mr.
Tanqueray for the bankrupts; and Mr. Thomas Beard to
watch the proceedings for certain creditors. The London
and County Bank (which has been appointed bankers and
treasurers to ;he parish), was represented and supported, it
was said, by Mr. h'll.
There was no likelihuPd of the matter being determined
before three or four o'clock ; And at the time the report left
the co.irt was so crowded that it was impossible to obtain
information of any kind, but it appears that the position of
the parties is not altered.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Deputy Joyce.)
HOWARD V. RICHMOND.

THE BOOKBINDERS' TRAM-IMPORTANT DECISION.
In this case plaintiff, as a forewoman, sought to recover
£3 12s. from defendant, a bozlibinder, as ono month's wages
in lieu of notice. Plaintiff stateL: that she had been in de-
fendant's service for some time as fore.: omen of his book-
binders. In consequence of his conduct : gave him a
month's notice, which he accepted, but permitted L.er to stop
at her request. Upon a certain Tuesday he o:m7
plained of the work, and she referred him to " Topsey,"
one of the girls. The girl was very saucy to plaintiff,
who complained. High words passed, and young Mr.
Richmond put plaintiff into the street. A week's wages
had been tendered, and refused by plaintiff, who contended
that she was entitled to a month's notice, in accordance
with the rules of the trade.

Mr. Shaw, for defendant, contended that plaintiff was
only entitled to one week's notice, and called defendant,
who deposed to the fact.

His Honour.—Upon what grounds do you say se ?
Defendant.—Because she was paid weekly.
His Honour.—Yes, but the foreman of bricklayers is paid
weekly and has amonth's notice. Plaintiff was a forewoman,
and as a lady should have even precedence of a man.
Defendant and his son deposed that plaintiff was put out
in consequence of her violent conduct, and that she called
Mr. Richmond, sen., "a liar."

His Honour remarked that, if she misbehaved, she was
liable to be dismissed without any notice; but defendant
had given her one week, and paid that money into court.
Plaintiff admitted that she had only been out of work
three weeks, and
His Honour said that while neither party had proved
the custom, he must treat plaintiff's evidence as reason-
able. At the same time she could only have a verdict for
three weeks' wages, with costs, she having been in work
one week out of the month.

THE LATE FRACAS ON BOARD THE FORTE.—
With reference to the reports in circulation reflecting most
injuriously upon Rear-Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, Com-
mander-in-Chief on the Cape of Good Hope station, we
have reason to believe that the circumstances in question
have been grossly exaggerated. Tie Admiralty, consider-
ing the disputed facts, have done most discreetly in not
acting upon an imperfect or one •sided statement, and we
believe that the case will be allowed to take its regular course
in a law court, when Sir Henry Keppel will have an oppor-
tunity of showing that the conduct complained of was not
such as has been described, neither was it attributable
solely to himself, nor to the accused lady. We have strong
reasons for believing that the gallant admiral's character
has been wilfully maligned.— United Service Gazette.
SUSPECTED MURDER IN ROXBUROHMIIIRE.—A
feeling of painful interest has been excited in the district in
consequence of a suspected murder which is alleged to have
taken place on Saturday last at Eckford, near Jedburgh
living in Lanton, near Jedburgh, and the mode of death
It appears that the victim is a man named Crosier, a cadger
his
was drowning, accompanied by violence. Crosier some
time ago lost his horse, and as his cart was his principal
means of subsistence, considerable sympathy was felt for
him in the district, where he was well known and respected.
A subscription was raised, sufficient to purchase another
horse, and the money was some days ago presented to
Crosier. He intended, it is said, to come to Kelso to pur.
chase a horse, and left home, taking the money which was
raised by subscription with him. Nothing more was heard
of him till Saturday last, when his dead body was found in
Kale Water, near Eckford Mill. When taken out of the
water, two deep gashes were found on his head and his
pockets had been rifled. Information was given to the
Procurator-Fiscal, who has since been engaged
in a strict

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TINS DAY.'

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
MILITARY RUFFIANISM.—John Mc:x.lam and Robert
Barnes, two privates of the Ist company 2d battalion of
Coldstream Guards, Portman. street Barracks, were charged
before Mr. Bcadon with the following assaults.
Oscar Henry Constable, a young man living at 10, Gros-
venor-mews, said that on Saturday night he was in North
Audley-street, on his way home from Kensal-green, when
he saw the two prisoners with their belts off trying to pick
a quarrel with a man who was a cripple, and tho prisoner
Barnes in the act of striking him. He said to the prisoner
" You would not be so unmanly as to strike a cripple,
would you," when the prisoner struck him a severe blow in
the eye, but whether with his fist or something else he could
not say, but the blow rendered him insensible for a few
moments, and he had been compelled to have leeches ap-
plied to his eye.

Robert May said he was with the last witness and the
cripple outside the Clarendon Arms, when the prisoners
came up and naiad the cripple the way to Halifax, and the
cripple replied, " You don't want Halifax, you want Port-
man-street Barracks," and as the soldiers seemed about to
strike the cripple, the last witness said, " You won't strike
a cripple," and then the soldier gave him a violent blow in
the eye. He followed the soldiers with the last witness to
give them in charge, when Moxlam hit him a severe blow
in the mouth and knocked him down twice.

The cripple alluded to also proved being, knocked down
by Barnes.

The prisoners said they were aggravated by the answer
given them.

The prisoners' sergeant said they had been some time in
the army, but absent without leave.

Mr. Beadon fined them 20s. each or 14 days.

THAMES.

PICKPOCKETS 1N WILITECIIIPEL.—Edward Holmes, ft
well known thief, aged 23, was brought before Mr. Yardley
charge with attempting to pick pockets in High-street,
Whitechapel.

Deeble, a very useful detective officer, No. 195 H, said
that last night, about half-past ten o'clock, he saw a boy
attempting to pick pockets in the High-street. The pri-
soner was behind the boy covering his operations. The
boy lifted the pockets of seven gentlemen with one hand
and put the other hand in their pockets. They walked up
and down the street several times, and at last stopped at
the Red Lion at the corner of Leman-street, when the boy
saw 'witness and ran away. He then took the prisoner into
custody.
Mr. Yardley—Do you know the prisoner ?

Deeble—l do, sir. Ile has been convicted twice. I was
present when he was convicted of larceny at the Worship-
street pelice-court, and received six months' imprisonment.
The prisoner said he was directing the boy to Tower-hill.
Deeble.—He was going the contrary way, coming right
away from Tower-hill.
The prisoner was asked to give some account of himself.
He said he lived in Marylebone, and on being asked the
name of the street, he replied whats'er:name street. On
being asked what house, he replied that it was a coffee-
shop, and that he paid 6d. per night for his lodging. At
last he said he was dwelling when at home at No. 31G,
Church-street, Shoreditch.

Mr. Yardley.—You have given a very unsatisfactory
count of yourself. You are sentenced to two months'
Iprisonment.

BANK OF FRANCE.

The late increase in the discount accommoda-
tion, shown in the returns of the Bank of France,
suggests to the Debats the following observations :

" What has to be asked is the nature of the
wants which have caused the increase of the dis-
count accommodation ? Must it be considered
the indication of a revival of manufacturing and
commercial affairs, the starting-point of that con-
fidence which has been so long wished for, or the
effect of the monetary pre-occupations which
have caused a rise in the rate of discount at
London ? We do not desire anything better than
to. believe that the extension of production and
of mercantile affairs has caused the augmentation
of accommodatioi to men of business, and we
admit its influence : but we believe that we must
also take into account the fear caused by the news
from London. In point of fact, the Bank of France
possesses a magnificent metallic reserve, which still
greatly exceeds the normal proportion between
the amount of cash in hand and that of notes in
circulation. That is the best reply that can be
given to the people who have hitherto dreaded the
diminution of the reserve. As to the fear of seeing
the Bank of France adopt a measure similar to
that just decided on by the Bank of England, we
may observe that we are far from that consequence
of the solidarity of the two markets, and that the
Bank of England must make great progress in the
path on which it has just entered in order to drag
us after it. And, besides, an increase in
the present rate of discount would leave the finan-
cial and commercial world indifferent. An increase
in the price of money in a certain proportion would
no more impede the activity of labour and the de-
' velopment of credit, than the low price of money
during the last six months has encouraged the spirit
invest
it enterprise or caused holders of capital to
it in securities. The falling off in transactions and
the stagnation of the Bourse were owing to another
cause. People waited to see the turn which foreign
politics would take, and did not regulate their affairs
by the rate of discount. The certainty of the main-
tenance of peace among the great Powers of Europe
is of more importance at the present moment than
financial considerations,which are based on a greater
or less abundance of monetary resources, and it is
on tha, account that, whilst pointing out the ten-
dency to an increase of discount in the market of
London, which tendency also exists in the German
markets and in those of Genoa and Turin, we do
not believe that we ought to put that circumstance
in the balance with the good situation in which the
Bank of France now is, notwithstanding a with-
drawal of 100,000,000 f. in specie in two months,
and particularly with the sort of political truce
which commerce will certainly not fail to turn to
account."

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR LIM ROLINESS

THE POPE.

The following letter has been addressed to Car-
dinal Wiseman by his Eminence Cardinal A nto-
nelli, the Secretary of State to his Holiness Pope
Pius IX., recommending the systematic collection
of St. Peter's pence throughout every diocese in
England to replenish the resources of the Papal
treasury at Rome :

"Rome, Oct. 6, 1860.

" My Lord Cardinal,—The resources of the public
treasury, which had already been diminished by the
progress of the revolution, have now become of no
account, as it has approached the very walls of
Rome, and has thus taken away from the Holy
Father every means of meeting the heavy require-
ments of his army, of his faithful subjects, and of
all those who have resigned their public employ-
ments, and have embraced exile in order to find in
Rome a refuge from the arts and seductions which
would tempt them from the fidelity they have
sworn to their lawful Sovereign. Under these cir-
cumstances, our most holy Father, who will never
consent to accept any offering of sums of money
that any government might make with compacts or
conditions, would, on the other hand, Eee with plea-
sure the faithful of the Catholic world come to his
assistance with their penny. having made known
to your eminence this desire of the Holy Father, I
regard as needless any argument that I might urge
that it may have a speedy and full effect.
" The co-operation of the Episcopate will power-
fully assist in its execution ; I therefore beg you to
take the trouble to write on the subject to your
colleagues in the pastoral office in England, to beg
of them to adopt the fittest means that the faithful
who are intrusted to them may concur in for as-
sisting their common Father in the heavy anxieties
which he suffers from the wickedness ef his enemies,
and of those even who profess themselves to be his
devoted children.

I avail myself of this opportunity, while I kiss
your eminence's hands, again to profess myself,
with profound respect, your eminence's truly obe-
dient and devoted servant,

" G. C. ANTONELLI.

" To his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, London,"

Cardinal Wiseman has, in accordance with the
request made to him, forwarded copies of Cardinal
Antonelli's letter to the several Catholic bishops of
England, and has likewise addressed a letter to the
Catholic clergy in the district of Westminster,
calling on them to organise meetings and com-
mittees in their respective localities to carry out
the recommendations contnined in tho Cardinal-
Secretary's communication. Both letters were
read in the several Catholic churches and chapels
in London during mass yesterday, and steps will
be immediately taken to hold the meetings in ques-
tion. The Rev. William O'Connor, rector of Lin-
coln's-inn-fields chapel, will be treasurer to the
fund.
