number) in 1851.
LABOUR IN CANADA.—The despatches from Canada
just issued by the Colonial-office, amply confirm all the
previous accounts as to the growing prosperity of that
province, and the demand which exists for labour. This
is particularly the case in Canada West, more especially
in the newly settled districts. Mr. Hawke, the Govern-
ment emigration officer at Toronto, says :---cg I appre-
hend no difficulty in disposing of all emigrants in search
of work who may come to this section of Canada. As to
skilled labourers and good farm-servants, male and
female, there is every prospect of their finding employ-
ment at good wages. Houses are being erected in almost
every town and village, and as the farmers have enjoyed
an unusual degree of prosperity for several years past,
farm improvements are extended, and superior cultiva-
tion has become universal. lam therefore of opinion
that all mechanics, such as blacksmiths, wheelwrights,
carpenter 3, bricklayers, masons, tailors, shoemakers, Am,
as well as agricultural servants, who may seek employ-
ment in Canada West, will be able to obtain it, and that
farmers will find farms suited to their means, and, if
prudent and industrious, will be sure to succeed."

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir It. I'. Kindersley.)
IN BE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK, EX TARTE WALTON

AND HUE.

Mr. Baily and Mr. W. Morris were heard in contina
ation of these adjourned summonses on behalf of Mrs
Hue, and argued that where no custom was found waiv-
ing a particular form then you must find a special act
quoad a particular person ; but where a custom and
practice was universal it was no', necessary to prove a
particular case, but the practice rendered the transaction
valid, and therefore the transfer of Mrs. Hue's shares
was valid.
The Vice-Chancellor said that in all the cases which
had been referred to the party (the transferee) had been
treated by the company, or its officers, as a shareholder.
Mr. Baily—lt was essential that the broker should in
all respects be able to represent the. directors buying
and selling shares, and therefore it mattered little whe-
ther the names were given or not. Under the Winding.
up Act the Court had power to administer the equities,
and therefore in equity the purchaser of these shares
must be regarded as a shareholder of them. Under the
7th and Bth Viotoria, cap. 113, sec. 23, a party had the
power to sell his shares without the consent of any com-
pany. Now, here the consent of the court of directors
was necessary, and the sale and transfer being one act,
and notice having been given of the sale, the sale took
place, and therefore it must be assumed that the neces-
sary consent was given. The same form was pursued in
almoit every case. Saunderson's case was an authority,
that a party became a member of a company when he
entered into a binding contract to take shares, and that
had been done here.
Mr. Glasse was heard in reply, and called Mr. Paddison
the secretary, who was examined as to the mode of con•
ducting transfers, and he spoke to letters having been
received from parties wishing to transfer when the trans-
fer was conducted by him and the transfer clerk, and
submitted to the board, and the seal was affixed when
the transfer was sanctioned, and the respectability of
parties was inquired into by the directors from the trans-
fer clerk. The directors had never refused to allow
transfers before Sept., 1856, although where parties were
debtors to the bank the right to refuse was spoken of.
Mr. Giffard then cross-examined Mr. Paddison, who
denied any discussions as to putting a stop to transfers
and sales in his presence.
Mr. Gatherer, the transfer clerk, was also examined
viva voce, on the same subject, and deposed that no trans-
fer was ever completed without the consent of the direc-
tors—that is, he would not have his certificate. In every
case notice was given to the board.
Mr. Giffard—That is enough ; we gave notice.
The Vice-Chancellor said that it was somewhat unfor.

SPAIN.-

The Madrid journals of the 11th have reached
us. It was rumoured that the Government in-
tended to nominate between 30 and 40 new sena-
tors. Some of the journals express a tope that
England and. France will join in the expedition
which. Spain is about to send against Mexico ; and
they say that the intervention of these two powers
would have the effect of preventing the United States
from increasing the divisions between the native and
Spanish races, which divisions they labeur to foment
in order to facilitate their eventual conquest of
Mexico. It was said that Queen Christina had
determined on taking up her residence defini-
tively at Rome. The Espana says that the Minis-
ters had decidedly resolved on recommending to
the Queen an amnesty for all the Carlists concerned
in the insurrection of 1854. The total number of
vessels of war at present possessed by Spain is 145,
carrying 953 guts. The Espana says :—" Letters
from Manila state that the Chinese attempted to
burn one of the Spanish steamers which was under-
going repair at Hong Kong, and that the crew had
been forced so seek refuge on board a merchant
vessel. In consequence of this, it is said that the
brig El Escipion has been sent from Manila to
demand satisfaction, and to protect the Spanish
subjects theme."

A letter from Warsaw, in the Elberfeld Gszette,
confirms the intelligence already given, that Gen.
Gortschakoff had tendered his resignation, the rea-
son assigned by4liim being the state of his health.
It is added that the general intends to visit Ger-
many as soon as it shall have been accepted.

The Augsburg Gazette states from Vienna that
the Austrian Government has sent instructions
to its foreign embassies to assure all the refugees
implicated in the Mantua tonspiracy that they are
free to return to their country. As for the other
political refugees of the Lombardo-Venetian pro-
vinces, those who are willing to sign an act of obe-
dience and fidelity to their legitimate sovereign
may return at once ; those who prefer remaining
abroad are nevertheless to have their property freed
from sequestration on an application being made to
that effect.

THE IMPERIAL SPEECH.—In another column We pub-
lish the Address delivered yesterday by the Emperor of
the French to the Corps Legislatif. For the report of
this Speech we are indebted to the courtesy of tt e Sub-
marine and British Telegraph Company. Its transmis-
sion exhibits another proof of the marvellous perfection
to which the arrangements of this company have been
brought in communicating intelligence. Although the
Address was of such unusual length, occupying more
than a column of close print, it was received and
transcribed in extenso in London within three hours of
its delivery before the Legislative Assembly in Paris.
The performance but a few years since would Lave
bean deemed nothing short of miraculous ; it is now
but one of the daily wonders worked by the Subma-
rine Telegraph Company.--Horning paper.

NEW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr. HAYTER a new writ was
ordered for the borough of Colchester, in the room of
Lord John Manners, who has accepted the office of
Steward of the Hundred of Hempenholme.
CEYLON.

Mr. BYNG asked the Secretary of State for the Colo-
nies when it was his intention to lay befor3 the house
the last annual report of the Governor of Ceylon on the
state of that colony; and whether he would, at the same
time, furnish a copy of the letter of Viscount Torrington
to the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the same
subject, under date Jan. 17, 1857?
Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the report alluded to,
which formed the ordinary blue-book, would be placed
on the table at the usual time, about March, and that
he should have no objection to produce Viscount Tor-
rington's letter, if moved for.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

WEST KENT.
The nomination of candidates for the representation of ,
the western division of the county of Kent, in the room
of Sir Edmund Filmer, deceased, took place yesterday,
at Penenden-beath, near Maidstone.
The contest is between Mr. Wykeham Martin, the
Liberal candidate, and Sir Walter B. Riddell, who
avows himself to be an ardent Conservative.
The respective candidates having been proposed and
seconded,
The SHERIFF called for a show of hands, when about
one-fifth of the great multitude that were assembled held
up their bands in favour of Sir Walter Riddell.
On the call being made for a show of hands on behalf
of Mr. Wykeham Martin a vast majority testified their
approval of that gentleman as their representative.
The SHERIFF then declared that the election by show
of hands was in favour of Mr. Martin. (Cheers.)
Sir B. BRIDGES immediately demanded a poll on behalf
of Sir W. Riddell.
The SHERIFF accordingly announced that, a poll hav-
ing
been demanded, the same would take place on
Thursday next.
A vote of thanks to the High-Sheriff, proposed by
Mr. MARTIN, and seconded by Sir W. RIDDELL, was
then carried by acclamation, and the proceedings of the
nomination terminated.

HAYMARKET.

Another new piece was produced last night at this
theatre. This last is an intense little drama, entitled
"A Wicked Wife," and is evidently from a French
piece, which, by its obsequious abuse of revolutionary
doctrines, has probably been produced lately to support
"The Empire." The plot and interest rest on the efforts
of a very noble wife, Madame De Langeais (Miss Rey-
nolds), who, in order to conceal her husband, who has
been denounced as a Royalist during the Reign of Terror,
professes an ultra-Republicanism, and forsakes nature
and virtue for the current republican patriotism and
sublime doctrines of liberty ; and pretends to endure the
overtures of Citizen Rozaire (Mr. Rogers), an emissary
of Robespierre, and renounces her husband and her
children. All this time the husband is concealed in a
closet, and comes out in the intervals of the visits of the
guardians of liberty and equality. The principal parts
were excellently sustained by Miss Reynolds, Mr. Howe,
Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Compton. The success of the
piece was decided, and there cannot be a doubt about its
proving a great attraction.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette

with respect to the explanations given by Baron
de Bourqueney to the Austrian Cabinet, in re-
ference to the note in the Moniteur on the
Principalities :—" M. de Bourqueney, on having
received on the 10th a telegraphic despatch
from Paris, immediately proceeded to the Mi-
nistry of Foreign Affairs, and offered the fol-
lowing explanations :—He Observed that the note
in the Moniteur contained nothing more than had
been declared by France in the 6th protocol of the
Congress of Paris on the Bth March, 1856. Then,
as now, Franco considered that the union was most
desirable. Austria and Turkey, added the ambas-
sador, pronounced themselves against the union in
the Conference of the Bth March, and they will
have every opportunity afforded them to support
their opinions in the last conferences vthich is to
decide in Paris on the labours of the commission of
the Danube. This declaration • was immediately
Traiimitted to Count de Buol at Milan." .

application:—

sive relief. The Committee, therefore, earnestly entreat the aid of
the public.

General Meeting in January. A Board is held every Thursday, at
4 o'clock (Rev. J. B. Owen, Chairman), to conduct the business,
when any subscriber may attend, if so disposed, the Board being at
all times desirous of receiving suggestions or giving explanation.
The Hospital is not endowed, but is wholly dependent on volun-
tary contributions and legacies, which are received by the Treasurer,
John Masterman, Esq., M.P., Nicholas-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts
and Co. ; Drummond and Co.; Berries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ;

ADELPHI.

A new piece entitled "Barney the Baron," written in
America for Mr. B. Williams, was brought out here for
the first time upon an English stage with great success.
Of course the whole of the piece rests upon Mr. 'Wil-
liams, who personates an Irishman who has the luck to
win a German estate in a lottery, and then is frightened
out of his bargain by the rightful heir telling Paddy
that the place is haunted. The whence Were greatly

pleased with this dramatic trifle, which was given out
for repetition every evening until further notice.

STRAND.

For some time past a piece has been running in Paris
called "Les Pauvres de Paris," and last night a trans-
lation of it wa-: produced at the Strand Theatre, under
the title of "Pride and Poverty ; or, the Real Poor of
London."

The drama commences with a prologue, the scene of
action being at the house of Vernon, a banker, who, on
the eve of a fraudulent bankruptcy, receives a deposit
from a shipwrecked emigrant (Ranger), and devotes the
property of the dying man to his own purposes. The
family of the emigrant are consequently reduced to great
hardships, and the piece terminates by the villains hav
ing to make restitution of their ill-gotten gains. The
drama is thoroughly French in every respect. It WAS
most effectively played by ail engaged iu it.
The English authors of the piece were loudly called
for, and Mr. Benjamin Barnett and Mr. J. B. John-
stone appeared before the curtain.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This Evening.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wediack
at five o'clock.

CHINA.
The Earl of CARNARVON wished to ask a ques-
tion of the noble earl, the President of the Council.
Be bad seen it stated in the daily papers that at the
time the hat mail left China, Admiral Seymour was
throwing red-hot shot into Cantoq. He wished to know
whether the Government had received any such intelli-
gence.
Earl GRANVILLE said there was not reason to
suppose that the Admiral commanding in China had
proceeded to any such extremities.
Lord DERBY gave notice that on Tuesday ho should
move the resolution of which he had given notice. He
was not at the present moment able to state the exact
terms of the resolution, but it would contain expressions
of regret at tie lhostile steps which had been taken in
China, and which were not justified by the circumhtanc_s
of the case.

CONSOLIDATION OF THE LAW.
The Lord CHANCELLOR said he intended, ruxi
week, to lay seven bills for the consolidation of the cri-
minal law on the table. Similar bills were prepared
before their lordships broke up last year, and were laid
upon the table, but as they referred only to parts of
England and Ireland, it had been determined to send
them ova to Ireland. On the return of the bills it was
found extremely difficult to include in one bill clauses to
meet the whole of the different offences. When persons
found fault with the Statute Law Commission ho only
wished 'they could see one-tenth part of the difficulties
with which they were beset. It had been found abso-
lutely necessary by the Commissioners, who were una-
nimously agreed upon the point, to begin 'their labours
by, from the very last year, and proceed section by sec-
tion through the statute book, to discover what statutes
remained in force in order to consolidate them.
Lord BROUGHAM defended the Statute Law Com-
missioners from the attacks that had been made upon
them. It was not the fault of the Commissioners that
this digest was not prepared before. He was afraid
it was the fault of the constitution itself. The noble
and learned lord then bore testimony to the extraor-
dinary efforts and great disinterestedne s of Mr. Bellen-
don Kerr to further the objects of the Commission.
CHIEF CONSTABLES.
Viscount DUNGANNON asked the President of the
Council if it was intended by the Home Department
permanently to rescind the rules relative to the qualifi-
cations of persons to be chosen as chief constables in the
several Counties of England and Wales, as respects their
age not exceeding 45 years, and their not Navin; been
declared bankrupts, or never having passed through the
Insolvent Court.
Lord HARROWBY was understood to say that a
bill had already been introduced in the other house on
the subject by the Secretary of State for the Home
Department.
