RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—From official rel.-Aims it ap-
pears that the ri portions in svh.ch railway travtll ra
distribute themselves throu4bout the various classes vai y
considerably in the three kingdoms. From the follox-
ing table it will be seen that England furnishes the
largest quota of first-class paslengfrs, Ireland of .e.ond
and third, and Scotland of fourth class. The numbers
are fur 1,000 passengers in each kingdom :
First Class. Second. Third. Fourth.
England
Scotland
. Ireland

In examining this table it is to be borne in mind that in
Ireland there is no duty on railway passengers at all,
while in England and Scotland Parliamentary trains
only are exempt from duty. It may also be mentioned
as a circumstance perhaps slightly affecting the returns
in regard to Scotland, that the Caledonian Railway car-
ries no second-class passengero,—Scototi um.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.-APPEAL.

Peers present—The Lord Chanceller, Lord Brougham),
Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, and other Peers.

CLARKE AND ANOTHER ♦. KART.

The further hearing of this important appeal cause,
which was reported in our columns of yesterday, WAS
again resumed this morning.
Mr. Malins, Q.C., resumed his argument for the ap•
pellant. The learned counsel contended—first, that in
the formation of a joint-stock company, and
especially the formation of a precarious mining
company, the power of forfeiture on the non•
payment of calls on shares is, ex necessitate, an marl.
tial part and condition of- the contract of the company.
Second, That where reference is made to the compels,
being carried on, on the cost-book principle—and this
Icing the custom of the county where the mine is—and

more especialy where there is a power to trans-
fer the shares, a power of forfeiture is implii
in such contracts. That the cost-book principle
is ready money—sometimes in advance. The respon-
dent was not ready with his money when calls
were made, and being in default his shares were legally
forfeited, and therefore the declaration that he had for-
feited his shares was lawfully made, and he was no
longer a shareholder of this mining company.
The learned counsel observed that hr four years
the respondent stood by and did not contribute any
money towards the expense of carrying on the company,
although eight calls had been made. In conclusion, he
asked for a reversal of the decision of the court below.

Mr. B. Palmer, Q.C., was being heard for the respoa.
dent in support of the decision of the court below.

It is probable the hearing of this cause will occupy
,heir lordships the whole of this day.

DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES
COURT.
(Before the judge Ordinary, Sir C. CresewelL)
IN RR MAIIX ANN ALDRIDGM.

Dr. Addams applied on the part of the applicant,
Mrs. Aldridge, for an order for the protection of her
property, under the 21st section of the act, she having
been deserted by her husband, who was described as •
seafaring man. The applicant resided within the city
of London, and some difficulty arose in the calm re-
lative to the construction of the 21st seetion of the act,
which states that at any time after desertion of th•
party residing within the metropolitan district application
for protection shall be m..de to a police magistrate, and

if in the country to the justices in petty sessions the order
in each case being registered in the county court of the
district, and he was doubtful if the court could enter.
tain the application, though Loudon was not within the
metropolitan police district.
The learned judge said it certainly appeared that the
applicant could not obtain from this court the remedy
she asked for, ant if she applied to a magis-
trate in the city the order could not be re-
gistered. The learned judge expressed dissatisfactioa
at the proof of desertion, but said that if satisfactory
proof could be given he would be disposed to grant the
order, leaving it to the common law courts to decide os
application by a creditor if his doing so were correct.
