THE LAST DAY OP THE DEPUTY-JUDGE.

To-day is the last Mr. Sergeant Wheeler will sit, for
some considerable time at least. But one expression ac-
companies him, and that is of hearty good-will and respect.
He has given the greatest satisfaction to the legal gentle-
men and suitors of the court, and has given great proof of
both high legal attainments and great patience.

Count Bela Szechnyi and Count R. Zichy have
left Fenton's Hotel for Lilleshall, Shropshire.
THE ROYAL CHARTER.—LIVERPOOL, Friday.—
(By Electric and International Telegraph.)—A missing
bullion safe, said to contain £7,000, has been got up from
the wreck of the Royal Charter, at Moolfra.
INTENDED NEW BRIDGE AT BLACKFRIARE.—
Yesterday a meeting was held at the Guildhall of the Com-
mittee for Letting the Bridge-house Lands, at which they
resolved by a large majority to recommend the design of an
iron bridge with three arches, by Mr. Thomas Page, as the
one to be adopted by the Common Council. _

Her Majesty inspected the Eton College Volun-
teers, consisting of four :companies, with the band of the
Scots Fusilier Guards, in the Home Park, immediately
under the East-terrace, at three o'clock yesterday after-
noon, at which time the Queen and Prince Consort, accom-
panied by Princess Alice, Prince Arthur, Princess Helena,
Princess Louise, and Princess Beatrice, the Duke of
Nemours, and the Prince. and Princess of Leiningen, pro-
ceeded to the ground. The line was under the command
of Mr. Arkwright, and received her Majesty with a Royal
salute ; the companies then marched past and ',went
through several manoeuvres, which were concluded by
an adyauco in parade order and a Royal aaltisto..:

STRIKE IN THE HOSIERY TRADE AT NOTTING.

HAM.—In consequence of an attempted reduction of ls. per
dozen on shirts and drawers by an influential firm in Not-
tingham, about 100 workmen are now on strike. It appears
that at a meeting which has been held, it was decided to
levy ls. per week on the frames which are now employed,
and through that means the men on strike are now in re-
ceipt of 2s. 6d. per week each.
DEERFOOT AT CAM BRIDGE.—By express desire
the celebrated Indian runner will appear at Cambridge on
Wednesday next, Dec. 4, and contend in a six miles' race,
against Lang (of Middlesborough), Barker (of London),
Brighton (of Norwich), and E. Mills (of London). The
general wish of the University, Town and County having
been strongly expressed, the management will be under the
Rev. L. Stephen, M.A. (Trin. Hall), Rev. J. F. Hardy,
W. S. Cadman, Esq., Capt. Prost, and Messrs. Adams, F.
R. Hall, P. Beales, jun., A. D. Claydon, and J. E.
M'Donald. There will be many other sports, and the races
will come off at Fenner's grounds. Entries for the Mile
Handicap, &c., to be made at the Cambridge Chronicle and
Independent Press. All preparations will be made to en-
able every one to see the far-famed Redskin contend against
four of our first-rate men, but there is no doubt that the
celebrated Indian has been specially engaged to gratify the
Icuriosity of one of the most illustrious in the land, who is
at present sojourning on the banks of the classic Cam. The
sports will commence at a quarter past two, but the race of
the day—Deerfoot against four champions for six miles—
will come off punctually at three o'clock,—.Era.
A suggestion—which, it may be feared, is more
ingenious than probable—has been raised, to the effect that
the captain of the San Jacinto may be in reality a Seces-
sionist, and that he accordingly strained his orders with a
view to render certain the ultimate success of the Southern
cause. The New York paper which enjoys the largest cir-
culation has long been reputed to be acting under a similar
impulse in its efforts to drag the country into a war with
Great Britain; and it is also avowed in all the American
advises that " treason" pervades every department of the
State, from the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court down to
the lowest clerks in the Treasury, the post-offices, and the
custom-houses. Even in Fort Sumter, according to the
last accounts, a trouble of this character threatened the
safety of the place. " Statements are made," it is said, on
" excellent authority, that there are in that fortr. ss two
field-officers, a Major and Lieutenmat-Colonel of Artillery,
who are favourable to the rebel cause," and as the news-
papers teem with similar, and even more serious accounts
from other points, the surmise now broached with regard
to Commander Wilks is not without a certain degree of
plausibility. The New York writers recommend a whole-
sale shipment of such " traitorous officers" to the Dry

THE PORTE AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.
The _Levant Herald of the 20th inst. has the fol-
lowing :
" We believe we may confidently announce that
the long-vexed question of the Roumain union has
at length reached its settlement. Last week the
Porte communicated to each of the representatives
of the Powers interested, a copy of the firman by
which it proposes to consent to the desired junction
of the two provinces, and we learn that the condi-
tions under which it is willing to sanction that
result have, with a few trifling exceptions, been
accepted by the whole of the Legations concerned.
The Porte consents to the complete legis-
lative and administrative union of the
two Principalities for and during the life
of the present Hospodar. The Fockshani
Commission will, of course, be dissolved, and (the
firman proposes) in addition to the one central
Upper Chamber or Senate, therdwill be a Provincial
Chamber for each of the Principalities. At the
death or abdication of Prince Cousa the present
status quo will, ipso facto, be re-established, so as to
afford the two peoples an opportunity of reverting
to their separate Governments, or of manifesting a
collective wish for a continuance of the Union. In
the latter event, the Porte, while declining at pre-
sent to give any specific pledge on the point, pro-
mises to consider favourably any general and spon•
taneous expression of the popular will. A protocol
embodying the general acceptance of these terms
will be signed in a few days, immediately:after which
the definitive firman of the Porte will be forwarded
by a special commissioner to Bucharest."

IN RE PRIOR.

This bankrupt was described as of Old Kent-road, cheese-
monger, and this was a meeting for surrender and choice
of assignees. Mr. Weston supported, and assignees were

chosen.

The majority of the cases were first meetings before the
Regiktrars.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.)

A SUIT VERY PRODUCTIVE OF LAW.-7USTIN V. HIEDERD,

This was an action for commission and salary, Mr. Bu-
chanan appearing for the plaintiff, and Mr. Laxton for tke
defendant.

When the case first came before the Court, Mr. Kerr
suggested a reference, but some dispute arising about the
terms of the reference, the parties came a second time.
Then Mr. Buchanan and Laxton argued about it, and the
suit was finally adjourned. A third time the parties did
battle, and again was it adjourned. A fourth time resulted
in a like manner, and to-day the curtain drew up for the
fifth act, After a short adjournment, Mr. Buchanan said he
and Mr. Laxton had agreed toi a reference. So a second
time the matters in dispute were referred, the costs, it is
anticipated, being likely to be heavy.

THE 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 IMO. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim 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."

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

By extraordinary express, in anticipation of the
Overland Mail, we have received our usual letters
and PA/Jen. The dates are—Calcutta, March 23 ;
Hone-Kong, March 15 ; Madras, March 29. The
following is from the Englishman's Weekly Mail,
Calcutta :--

"-‘ One swallow does not make a summer,' nor
will one glowing description of our prosperity in a
State Secretary's speech, nor even a mildly expressed
hope in a speech from the Throne, revive the com-
mercial prosperity of India. We have no confidence
in the ricketty Government here, and still less in a
Supreme Government which accepts the thimble-
rig expositions of Sir Charles Wood as their autho-
rity for supposing all to be serene ' as regards
Indian public works and finances. Commerce still
languishes,'and no speculation on an extensive scale
or in any useful direction exists.
" Colonel Baird Smith, the Special Famine Com-
missioner, has arrived at Agra, and the central com-
mittee assembled to meet him on Friday, the 17th
inst., but no news has been yet received of his future
movements. We cannot at present, from the ac-
counts that daily reach us, hold out any certain
hopes of an improvement in the state of things in
the North-West, where food is still being distri-
buted and works thrown open. The disorganised
state of society up-country still continues, and rob-
beries and thuggees are of constant occurrence.
The audacity of the dacoits has even reached such
a pitch as to induce them to attack her Majesty's
property. A few days ago the baggage of the 2d
company of Sappers and Miners was attacked on
the line of march and one of the commissariat carts
thoroughly plundered. The rear guard came up
and drove them off, but we have not heard whether
any further punishment was inflicted.",
London, England, 1861-04-26

JURIES.

Lord R. CECIL moved an address for return of persons
liable to serve on special juries for any courts sitting at
Westminster or Guildhall; distinguishing those who have
been summoned during the year 1860, the number of times
each person so summoned has been summoned ; and stating
the number of exemptions granted.—Ordered,
LEINSTER TOLLS, &c.

Mr. M'CANN moved for return of all cities, boroughs,
and market towns in the province of Leinsterin which tolls,
customs, or octroi duties were levied on corn, cattle, poul-
try, or eggs on market days, since the first day of January,
1850.—Ordered.
LICENSE OF SPEECH AT THE BAR.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition of Mr. Thos.
Clutterbuck, attorney-at-law, complaining that at the
Worcester Assizes, under the license of speech claimed by
the bar, false and injurious reflections were cast upon his
character, for which he could obtain no redress, and pray-
ing for a revision of the law. The hon. gentleman read the
petition, which stated that Mr. Huddlestone was the learned
gentleman alluded to, and he (Mr. Duncombe) said that
the petitioner did not attribute any malice to Mr. Huddle-
ston e.

The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
YEOMANRY.

Mr. GRIFFITH moved an address for a detailed E t ate-
ment of lohe expenditure per • regiment, and the items of
which such expenditure is composed in each case, of the
Yeomanry Cavalry, for the year 1860 ; and a detailed state-
ment, in the same manner, of the items of which the esti-
mate for 1861 on the same subject is composed.—Ordered.
ALDERSHOT—CURRAGH OF KILDARE,

TREASURE TROVE.

Sir J. C. JERVOISE asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department when the notice would be circulated
which, on the 9th of January last, it was stated would pro-
bably be shortly issued, in regard to treasure trove, giving
the public full information on the subject ; and whether it
was intended to force the claim of the Crown to ancient
coins, gold or silver ornaments, and objects of antiquity
found in England and Wales, as part of the Royal
revenue.
Sir G. C. LEWIS explained that the Treasury was in
the habit of purchasing gold coins and giving the value of
them in bullion when they were of value as objects of an-
tiquity. They were melted down in the Mint, and the
Treasury made no profit whatever out of these coins.
AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF VENETIA.

In reply to Arr. GRIFFITH,
Lord J. RUSSELL said that there were at present 3,000
troops of the late Duke of Modena, but the Government
was in possession of information to the effect that there was
no aggressive movement contemplated in Italy on the part
of Austria.
London, England, 1861-04-26

story, and travelled into the kitchen. The gentle-
men scattered miscellaneously.
The first shot was fired from Fort Johnson, on
Morris Island, by Capt. James, and the second by
Lieut. U. FI. Gibbs. This was not answered until
three o'clock this afternoon. The first shot from
Stevens' Battery was fired by the venerable Ed-
mund Ruffin, of Virginia. That ball will do more
for the cause of secession in the old dominion than
volumes of stump speeches.
It is a most remarkable fact that, after 15 hours'
heavy cannonading, not one person has been placed
hors de combat.

There are no tidings from Fort Sumter.
The schooner Petrel, Capt, S. F. Coste, received
four shots, but no damage.

Three United States vessels are certainly out-
side. They were signalled by Major Anderson
lowering and raising his flag,
The attempt will probably be made to reinforce
him during the night. The mortar barries are now
blazing away. The scene is magnificent.
CHARLESTON, April 12-12.30 p.m.
It is utterly impossible to reinforce Fort Sumter
to-night, as a storm is now raging.
The mortar batteries will be playing on Fort
Sumter all night.

CHARLESTON, APRIL 13.
The cannonading is going on fiercely from all
points—from the vessels outside, and all along our
coast.

APRIL 13, 10 A. 31

Fort Sumter is on fire. It broke out in the
officers' quarters about two hours ago. Major
Anderson has slacked his fire, but not ceased
fighting.

It will not materially impede operations, as the
amount of woodwork in the fort is quite small. The
day is oppressively warm.
I have just learnt, from an authoritative source,
that no demand for the surrender was made upon
Major Anderson, but simply a demand for evacua-
tion. The diatinctioil la uierked in a yulitical sense
as important.

APRIL 13, 10.30 A.M.
At intervals of 20 minutes the firing was kept up
all night on Fort Sumter.
Major Anderson ceased firing from Fort Sumter
at 6 o'clock in the evening. All night he was en-
gaged in repairing damages and protecting the bar-
bette guns on the top of the fort. lie commenced
to return fire at 7 o'clock this morning. Fort
Sumter seems to be greatly disabled.
The battery on Cummings' Point does Fort Sum-
ter great damage.

At 9 o'clock this morning a dense smoke poured
out from Fort Sumter. The Federal flag is at half
mast, signalling distress.
The shells from Fort Moultries and the batteries
on Morris Island fall into Major Anderson's strong-
hold thick and fast ; tna they can be seen in their
course from:the Charleston Battery.
The breach made in Fort Sumter is on the side
opposite Cummings' licint. Two of its portholes
are knocked into one, and the wall from the top is
crumbling.

Three vessels, one of them a large-sized steamer,
are over the bar, and seem to be preparing to parti-
cipate in the conflict.
The fire of Morris Island and Fort Moultrie is
divided between Fort Stmter and the ships of war.
The ships have not as yet opened fire.

PRODUCE MARKET.—The amount of business done in
this market is almost wholly limited to orders which were
given some time since; no new transactions of any moment
are reported.
JOINT STOCK SHARES.—The share market is firm, and
a considerable advance has taken place in our quotations of
Bengal Bank shares, under an impression that the capital
is to be increased, and offered at par to existing share-
holders.
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.—There are no transactions
of any importance to note in this market. Holders are
quite ready to sell large amounts at present quotations or
even at something less; but not‘t ithstanding Sir Charles
Wood's account of the flourishing state of Indian finances,
capitalists here are not disposed to purchase.
MONEY MARKET.—Our money market continues easy,
but there are indications of an increased demand and higher
rates.

Slightly declined for inferior qualities. In the refined

We understand that two vacancies in the trust

of the Duke of Northumberland and Sir Thomas Phillipps,

LATEST NEWS.

- CHARLESTON, APRIL 13.
We have seen IV. Porcher Miles, who has just
returned from a visit to Fort:Sumter. He assured
us that no one was killed at Fort Sumter. This is
reliable, and puts at rest all previous reports about
Sumter. Major Anderson has reached the city, and
is the guest of General Beauregard. Oar people
sympathise with Major Anderson, but abhor those
who were in the steamers off our bar and in sight
of our people, and did not even attempt to reinforce
him.

The Fairfield Regiment, 1,000 strong, has just
passed the Courier office on its way to Morris
Island.

There now 10,000 men under arms in the har-
bour and on the coast.

THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING

TRADE.

The only step as yet taken by the members of the Mati-
tera' Association that can be considered hostile to the work-
men is that of keeping the number of men employed on
their various works at the lowest possible number ; with
the view of throwing as much labour into the market as
possible, and thus induce the men to accept the new mode
of payment. On inquiry at the Central Committee Room
of the workmen, it appears that the feeling amongst them
against the proposed system grows stronger daily. The
Bricklayers' Society, yesterday, issued a strong appeal to
the men in their branch of the trade calling on them to re-
fuse the terms offered, and asserting that but few of the
trade have as yet accepted them. The painters and plas-
terers have acted in a similar manner. The men deny the
statement rumoured yesterday, that Messrs. Trollope's men
have asked for payment by the hour, but state that only a
few individuals have done so. The aggregate meeting to
be held this evening is looked forward to with much interest.
Last evening a meeting of the members of the Operative
Bricklayers' Society, convened by circular, was - held at
Farringdon-hall, Snow-hill, for the purpose of considering
the present position of affairs in the dispute with the mas-
ters. Mr. Winkworth in the chair.

After addresses from several speakers, the following re-
solutions were unanimously carried :
"That the minute passed at the meeting held at Hawk-
stone-hall, on the 10th of April last, be confirmed."
" We, the members of the Operative Bricklayers Society
of London, seeing the blow that will be struck against the
privileges we have so long enjoyed by the introduction of
payment by the hour, do hereby pledgeourselves to resist
the same until the obnoxious system Is withdrawn.
" We, the members who are working more than three
days a week, hereby pledge ourselves to pay a levy of ls.
per week for the support of the men locked out, and con-
tinue to pay the samo until the present dispute is satis-
factory settled.
" That the operative bricklayers of London are willing to
work at the rate of 6s. per day for five days, and 3s. for the
half holiday on Saturdays, so =kin? 335. per week."
The usual compliment to the clunrintui clooed the pro-
