This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the

titled to take the benefit of the freehold and leasehold estates
on surviving their mother.

The Lord Chancellor was of the same opinion, and dis-
missed the appeal with costs.

CRLIILYAL COURT.—(Tras _DAY)

OLD COURT.

The November sessions of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning, before the Lord Mayor, Alder•
man Qnd Sheriff Abbis, Aldermen Challis, Finnis, Rose,
and Gabriel, the Uuder-Sheriffs, and the other civic
author it ies.

The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said the num-
ber of persons waiting for trial wa, comparatively small,
and the offences with which they were charged were not of
an unusually serious nature. The offences principally
consisted of burglaries, an offence which he regretted ap-
peared to be on the increase. The learned gentleman then
referred to several of the cases to be brought before them,
and said he did not think they would experience any diffi-
culty in the performance of their duty.
The grand jury then retired to their room, and after a
short time the trials proceeded.

The Journal de Rouen states that an augmenta-
tion in the price of cigars is spoken of. It says also that &
report is current that the Government intends to take into
its own hands a blanch of industry which is closely con-
nected with the sale of tobacco and cigars—the making and
sale of chemical matches. Should it do so, adds that jour-
nal, the manufacture will take place on a system which will
render them less inflammable, and so prevent the accidents
of which they are frequently the cause.

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.

On Saturday the spacious area of the Baker- street
Bazaar was entirely cleared for the reception of the
various specimens of stock, &c., intended for exhi-
bition at the ensuing Cattle Show, to take place on
Tuesday, the 11th, Wednesday, the 12th, Thursday,
the 13th, and Friday, the 14th December.
The amount of prizes given this year are quite upon
a par with those of any former years, and the show
will consist of 42 classes, namely :—Four to the
Devon breed, four to the Herefords, four to the short-
horns, two to the Sussex breed, two to the Norfolk
or Suffolk polled breed, two to the long-horns, two
to the Scotch horned, and two to the Scotch polled
breed ; two to the Irish, two to the Welsh, and
three classes to the cross or mixed breeds,
making a total of 29 classes devoted to cattle. The
sheep will be divided into nine classes, three being
devoted to long-woolled breeds, three to the short
wools, two to cross breeds, and one to short-woolled
breeds not being Southdowns. The pigs will be
divided into four classes, namely : Pigs of any
breed not exceeding four months old, above four
and not exceeding eight months, eight and not ex-
ceeding 12 months, and above 12 and under 18
months old. There will be six gold and 42 silver
medals awarded by the club, in addition to the
money prizes, to the exhibitors of tbe best speci-
mens in the various classes, and the silver medal of
the club to the butcher who makes the largest
amount of purchases from the show yard.
Notwithstanding the death of the Duke of Rich-
mond, the pens of Southdowns already entered in
ear
his name will be sent to the show by the present
lte du and who last y was
duke, and will enter into competition with those of
Mr. John Rigden, of Hove, for many years the

terion will no doubt be formed of the probable
character of the Smithfield show, from that which
precedes it at Birmingham, as on former occasions,
a very large number of animals are entered for
both shows.

NORWICH—Nov. 24.
To-day there was a good trade in wheat for all dry quali-
ties, at fully former rates, but inferior sorts met a slow sale
at rather lower rates. The supply was limited. There
was a fair supply of barley, and prices were much the same
for all descriptions.

7.11 E SERIMETER.

This is an apparatus newly invented by M. Fro-
ment, for testing the tenacity and elasticity of
silks of different sorts. The dynamometrie portion
of the apparatus is composed of a small thin and
very flexible lamina of steel, horizontally fixed in
its centre. Its extremities are connected by two
small rods to a single shaft rising to some height,
and having its upper extremity finely split for the
purpose of fixing the thread to be tested. When
this thread is subjected to traction, it causes the la-
mina orsprin g abovedescribed to bend,and this motion
is communicated to the hand of a dial-plate. When
the thread snaps, this hand remains at the point to
which it had been brought by the effect of the trac-
tion. The other portion of the apparatus, by which
traction is effected, is a piece of clock work which
descerds by its own weight. It is provided with a
pair of pincers, into which the other end of the
thread is inserted. By means of this apparatus M.
Persoz has been eiabled to make experiments on
the tenacity of various silks, the
_results of which
he has communicated to the Societe Imperiale d'Ae-
cl:matation. Thus, the threads testul being all of
the length of balfametre, M. per,oz shows that the
tenacity of the Calcutta cocoon is represented by 5.3,
Teneriffe 5.2, while those from Avignon and Prus-
sia were 12 and 12.9 yel.s2p.eBc;tivle4l.y4: thatl3. ;ofanNdeuli2lly9.

these experiments are interesting:-1. The male
-
cocoon yields a finer and more tenacious silk than
the female one 2. Ihe same slecies reared on dif-
ferent soil and in different climates does not yield
threads of the same
tenacity, The latter fact, M.
Persoz thinks, snould induce the Societe d'Acelima-
tation to undertake experiments for the sake of de.-
ermiin with precision the effects whica soil and
climate, as well as the kind of food, produce on the
silk-worm.

JUDGMENT.-HASWELL V. UASWELL.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the
Rolls. By a post-nuptial settlement, dated 3d Sept., 1839,
between Frederick Thomas Haswell and Elisabeth, his
wife, on the one part, and trustees on the other, it was
provided that the sum of £4,400 should be assigned
to the trustees in trust to pay the interest to
the husband unless and until he should become insolvent,
or until his death, which ever should first happen, and after
the happening of either of such events his trustees were to
pay the interest of the fund to his wife for life ; and after
the determination of he several trusts thereby:before created,
in trust to the children of the marriage, the survivor should
appoint, and in default of appointment, to the brothers
and sisters of the husband and wife, or on the sooner de-
termination of the interest therein before limited to them
respectively in trust for the children of the marriage equally.
The husband became insolvent, and the wife afterwards
died in the lifetime of the husband. Under these circum-
stances the Master of the Rolls held that the power of ap-
pointment given to the husband was extinguished, and that
on the death of the wife the fund was divisable among the
children of the marriage in default of appointment. The
husband appealed.
The Lord ChaAcellor was of opinion that there was a pro-
vision in the settlement that the ehildren and grandchildren
should take in default of appointment, and effect must be
given to it. his lordship dismissed the appeal with costs.

Tuesday, the 11th, Wednesday, the 12th, Thursday,
the 13th, and Friday, the 14th December.
The amount of prizes given this year are quite upon
a par with those of any former years, and the show
will consist of 42 classes, namely :—Four to the
Devon breed, four to the Herefords, four to the short-
'horns, two to the Sussex breed, two to the Norfolk
or Suffolk polled breed, two to the long-horns, two
to the Scotch horned, and two to the Scotch polled
breed ; two to the Irish, two to the Welsh, and
three classes to the cross or mixed breeds,
making a total of 29 classes devoted to cattle. The
sheep will he divided into nine classes, three being
devoted to long-woolled breeds, three to the short
wools, two to cross breeds, and one to short-woolled
breeds not being Southdowns. The pigs will be
divided into four classes, namely : Pigs of any
breed not exceeding four months old, above four
and not exceeding eight months, eight and not ex-
ceeding 12 months, and above 12 and under 18
months old. There will be six gold and, 42 silver
medals awarded by the club, in additien 'to the
money prizes, to the exhibitors of the best speci-
mens in the various classes, and the silver medal of
the club to the butcher who makes the largest
amount of purchases from the show yard.
Notwithstanding the death of the Duke of Rich-
mond, the pens of Southdowns already entered in
his name will be sent to the show by the present
duke, and will enter into competition with those of
Mr. John Rigden, of Hove, for many years the
antagonist of the late duke, and who last year was
successful in beating the hon. president. Lord
' the Earl of Leicester, Lord Berners,
of Huntley, the Earl of Hardwick, the
Earl Earl l‘oilnafgrclhYaTsborough, Lord Faversham, and others
of the nobility are also amongst this year's compe-
titors, as well as the Prince Consort. Some cri-
terion will no doubt be formed of the probable
character of the Smithfield show, from that which
precedes it at Birmingham, as on former occasions,
a very large number of animals are entered for
both shows.

IHE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITII'S

" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is. at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the prim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost. All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

VENETIA.

The Ausbur•g Gazette publishes the following
proclamation, which is being distributed among
the people on the coasts of Venetia and Dalmatia :

TILE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF VENICE TO THE VENETIAN

SAILORS.

Venice, Oct. 25, 1863

Sailors of the Venetian coast,—The time is come
for you also to do your country good service.
Whether you are in the merchant service, or serve
against your will on board Austrian ships, you
cannot but see how degrading is your position.
The Austrian fleet is no longer that which was
called Royal Venetian, and had both Italian sailors
and Italian officers. Now Germans alone com-
mand, while the unhappy Italian sailors are
obliged to serve under the stick. The Italian
fleet, which you have heard thundering
beneath Ancona, will also deliver poor Venice,
and in this fleet alone should you serve.
Venice has neither navigation nor trade, nor money
to pay her sailors, and she can do nothing for them
till she is made free. For this reason even merchant
seamen had better serve on board Neapolitan, An-
conese, and Genoese steamers, under the tri-
coloured flag, so es to return as conquerors to their
own country and assure the liberty and prosperity
of Venice. Send, at least, the youngest and most
experienced among you to represent. us in the
Italian navy as so many do in the armies
.of Victor
Emmanuel and Garibaldi. When Italy is free we
will return to our arsenals and yards—we will have
a numerous war fleet, on board
iof which the sailor
of Venice shall win honour as n the palmy days of
Venetia; and we will have merchant ships to en-
gage in the commercial enterprises which shall en-
rich us. V enetian ships shall fill the ports of the
East, and comfort shall again be enjoyed by the
sailors' families. Italy expects much from the bold
seamen of the Venetian coasts—from you who for
so long made the Lion. of St. Marc respected and
feared. Long live Ntor Emmanuel, King of Italy!
Long live Garibaldi! Long live Admiral Persano,
the conqueror of Ancona! Free Venice for ever !

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL.-JUDGMENT.-ROCS V. GORRISSEN.

This was an appeal from a decree of the Master of the
Rolls dismissing the plaintiff's bill.
It appeared that the defendants, Auguste William and
Co., previous, and down to the month of November, 1857,
carried on the business of merchants, in copartnership in
London, and acted in London as the correspondent of
Icham Lorver and Co., merchants, in Hamburg, in this suit,
representing plaintiff. On June 8, 1857, the Hamburg firm
instructed the London firm to purchase £lO,OOO of Mexican
Bonds, and hold them at their disposal. The London firm
purchased the bonds and drew bills on the Hamburg house
for the amounts which were accepted and paid when due,
and the question raised was, whether the London firm had
a general lien on the bonds for general advances to the
Hamburg firm.",

The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that there was no
general lien on:the bonds for:general advances, and reversed
the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and ordered the bonds
to be delivered up by the defendant to the plaintiff, and to
pay the costs of this appeal.

To-day there was a good trade in wheat for all dry quali-
ties, at fully former rates, but inferior sorts met a slow sale
at rather lower rates. The supply was limited. There
was a fair supply of barley, and prices were much the same
for all descriptions.

211 E SE.RI.3IETER.

This is an apparatus newly invented by M. Fro-
ment, for testing the tenacity and elasticity of
silks of different sorts. The dynamometrie portion
of the apparatus is composed of a small thin and
very flexible lamina of steel, horizontally fixed in
its centre. Its extremities are connected by.two
small rods to a single shaft rising to some height,
and havinc, its upper extremity finely split for the
purpose dfixin,, the thread to be tested. When
this thread is subjected to traction, it causes the la-
mina orspringabovedescribed to bend,and this motion
is communicated to the hand of a dial-plate. When
the thread snaps, this hand remains at the point to
which it had been brought by the effect of the trac-
tion. The other portion of the apparatus, by which
traction is effected, is a piece of clock work which
descends by its own weight. It is provided with a
pair of pincers, into which the other end of the
thread is inserted. By means of this apparatus M.
Persoz has been enabled to make experiments on
the tenacity of various silks, the results of which
he has communicated to the Societe Imperiale d'Ac-
climatation. Thus, the threads tested being all of
the length of halfametre, M. Persoz shows that the
tenacity of the Calcutta cocoon is represented by 5.3,
Teneriffe 5.2, while those from Avignon and Prus-
sia were 12 and 12.9 respectively; that of Neuilly
marked 8. The elasticity- of these sorts per metre
was respectively 9.9 ; 12.8 ; 14.4 ; 13.4 ; and 12.9.
The following general conclusions derived from
these experiments are interesting:-1. The male
cocoon yields a finer and more tenacious silk than
female
soilma and
e
ene
i 2. The same species reared on dif-
ferent n different climates does not yield
the f
threads of the same tenacity. The latter fact, 1%1.
Persoz thinks. should induce the Societe d'Acclims-
tation to undertake experiments for the sake of de-
termining with precision the effects which soil and
climate, as well as the kind of food, produce on the
silk-worm.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette publishes the following Im
perial decree :
" Considering that the present agio on silver
causes perturbation in the circulation of copper coin,
and considering that it is necessary to satisfy the
urgent wants of the retail trade, it pleases me to
order, after having taken the advice of my Minis-
ters, and of my permanent Council of the Empire,
that the issue of monetary notes in all the provinces
of the Empire, with the exception of the Lombardo-
Venetian Kingdom, shall be submitted to the deli-
berations of the general assembly of the Council
of the Empire in its next sitting, in the following
terms :—Art. 1. Monetary notes shall be of the
value of 10 kreutzers, a new Austrian money, and
shall be received in all payments of less than a
florin in the public treasuries of the said provinces.
Art. 2. The general treasury shall remit the
monetary notes to such other public establishments,
communes, and private persons as may express a
desire to have them in return for an equal sum in
bank notes. Art. 3. The total amount of monetary
notes which must only be issued in proportion to
the most urgent wants of circulation, cannot exceed
12,000,000 florins. As soon as the want of means
of exchange in the retail trade shall no longer
exist, the monetary notes shall be withdrawn.
Art. 4. The falsification or forgery of these notes
shall be punished with the same penalties as those
of paper money. Art. 5. The present measure is
placed under the control of the Commission on the
Public Debt. Art. 6. The Director of the Ministry
of Finances is charged with the execution of the
present ordinance. "FRANCIS JOSEPH.
" COUNT RECHBERG ; DE PLENER ; RANSONNET.
" Schcenbrimn, 17th November."
According to recent accounts from Austria, the
greatest inconvenience has long prevailed in all
parts of the Empire from want of specie, which is
so scarce that it can hardly be said to exist. A
great sensation was produced by the promulgation
of the above decree, inasmuch as by creating notes
for the low sum of ten krcutzers (little less than a
sou each), the Government proves that the penury
of the Treasury is so great that it cannot even
make an issue of copper coin. The lowest notes
in Austria have hitherto been of one florin (2fr.
50c.), but it was the practice to tear them in two
for the purpose of giving change.

The Tournal de Rouen states that an augmenta-

report is current that the Government intends to take into
its own hands a branch of industry which is closely con-
nected with the sale of tobacco and cigars—the making and
sale of chemical matches. Should it do so, adds that jour-
nal, the manufacture will take place on a system which will
render them less inflammable, and so prevent the accidents
of which they are frequently the cause.
