THE LEEDS BANKING COMPANY.—Yesterday, at
the Chancery Chambors, the call order in the case of the
Leeds Bank was adjourned until altar the Dtater recess.
The creditors had boon paid 17s. in the pound.

We have much pleasure in announcing that Sir.
Roderick Murchison has been elected by the Academy of
Sciences in Paris Foreign Member, in place of th© late Pro-
fessor Faraday. There are only eight such members, and
the honour is regarded by men of science as the highest
which a man of science can receive. As a matter of form
the decision has to be submitted to the Emperor for his
confirmation..

RAILS DIRECT FROM THE ORE.—The Stanton
(Virginia) Spectator says that the success of the discovery
for converting iron ore into cast steel by a single operation
in an ordinary blast furnace is now established beyond
controversy. 'tails are now cast from the ore, which prove
to be cast steel rails of the best quality, flexible, tenacious,
adamantine face, and of diamond hardness. It is impos-
sible to calculate the magnitude of the value of this dis-
covery.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

ROLLS CHAMBERS—This DAY.
BROUGHAM V. CAUVIN.

This case came before the chief clerk of the
Rolls, on an important application as to the de-
posit of the correspondence of the noble and learned
lord, in the court pending the case. It will be
recollected that Dr. Cauvin was engaged to select
and arrange numerous letters and documents relating
to the memoirs of Lord Brougham, and claimed
a sum for his literary labours, which Lord
Brougham would not pay, and hence the institution
of the suit. The object of the learned lord was,
by this present application, to have the documents
deposited in the Record Court Office before the
hearing of the cause, and the defendant objected to
deposit the same. The chief clerk declined to
make the order, as prayed.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE SIR MORTON PETO, BART., BETTS, AND
CRAMPTON.

This great case came again before the Court to-
day, when Mr. Linklater proposed to resume the
examination of Sir Morton Peto as to the claims of
the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com-
pany's claim for £6,600,000.
Mr. Lawrence said to-day had been appointed for
the last examinatio❑ and order of discharge, but it
was clear there must be an adjournment.

His Honour confessed that he did not know al
present to what length the examination of Sir M
Peto would extend.

Mr. Linklater pointed out that there was a
mistake in the balance-sheet of over £lOO,OOO, be-
cause the bankrupts claimed a large sum to be
due to their estate from the London, Chatham, and

Dover Railway Company, how his clients, the rail-
way company, claimed an enormous sum, and look-
ing at the balance-sheet he (Mr. Linklater) could
eetb—that.there would not be a shilling for any-

body.
His Honour—Do you mean one shilling in the
pound ? -

Mr. Linklater meant that in the joint estate of
the bankrupts there would not be a farthing in the
pound for anybody. It would thus be seen that it
made very little difference to the London, Chatham,
and Dover Railway Company whether they proved
for the £6,600,000, or for less; but they owed a
duty to their debenture-holders, and that duty they
must carry out. He thought that it would be the
best plan to adjourn the meeting for the last exa-
mination for three weeks, so that this claim of
the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com-
pany might be regularly discussed. He expected
that Sir Morton Peto's examination would last two
days after the present sitting. Mr. Crampton knew
very little about the matter, but Mr. Betts would be
examined, as would also some of the officers of the
company, including Mr. Holroyd, the secretary.
Mr. Munns, for a creditor, considered that Mr.
Linklater's proposition was only reasonable and
ought to be acceded to by all parties.
Mr. Maynard, for the assignees, did not agree
with Mr. Linklater.

Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupts, contended that
the examination of Sir Morton Peto was totally
unnecessary. There was already a cause in Chan-
cery and most voluminous evidence had been given,
so that this Court was now acting as assistant exa-
miner to the Court of Chancery. He was quite
sure that the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail-
way Company would not be able to displace one
figure of the claim of the bankrupts, and it would
be most unreasonable to keep them before the Court.

His Honour did not consider that it would be
proper to name an early day, and it would be better
to adjourn the last examination and order of dis-
charge for two months, when the present large
claim would be probably settled.
Mr. Lawrence said he did not wish it to go forth
that there would be no assets in this case. Besides
the estate of Peto, Betts, and Crampton, there was
the estate of Peto and Betts, and, as regarded that,
there was already £lOO,OOO in hand, so that a
very good dividend might be expected.

Mr. Linklater remarked that be should at the
proper time object to any dividend being paid until
the claim of his clients was decided.

His Honour, in answer to Mr. Maynard, said a
special day would be named for the consideration
of certain claims against the estate.
The examination of Sir Morton Peto was then
proceeded with, and the bankrupt was being ques-
tioned by Mr. Linklater as to the transactions with
the company, when this report left.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT ON A TEACHER OF DANCING.—AmeIia
Brown, Henry Brown, Henry Edward, and James
Pillar, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with
assaulting John Stanley Drew, teacher of dancing,
residing at No. 19, Thomas-street, Stamford-street,
Blackfriars.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street,
appeared for the prisoner Pillar.
The evidence of the complainant was to the effect
that he was walking along Piccadilly last night,
when the female prisoner without any provocation
struck him in the eye, and directly after Edwards
knocked him down, and then the prisoner Brown
kicked him, and on his getting up again Brown
knocked him down, and Pillar kicked him.
Mr. Lewis having cross-examined the complain-
ant, and also a witness who gave similar evidence,
and having addressed the magistrate on Pillar's
behalf,

Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho considered the case made
out, and fined the prisoners £5 each.
CAUTION TO CAB DRIVERS—CRUELTY TO a
HORSE.—David Norman, a cab driver, badge 1487,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by the Royal So-
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
with cruelty to a horse, by working it in an unfit
state.

Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved see-
ing the prisoner driving a horse attached to a four-
wheel cab in Regent-street. His attention was at-
tracted to the horse by seeing it flinching from the
saddle as if in pain, and on examining the horse he
found that it had a large suppurated sore on its
back with the saddle pressing into it, that it was
lame of three legs, having contracted feet, and the
tendon of one of the forelegs was also contracted.
The horse appeared to be suffering great-pain, and
its nostrils were much distended.

The prisoner said the horse was only seven years
old, and that he was going to turn it out.

Temperley said the horse was nearly 14 years
old.

Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 40s or a month:

The amount of Australian gold known to be now
on the way t• England is as much as £1,005,000, of which
a considerable portion will be due in about a fortnight.
The large increase in the remittances arises from the cir-
cumstance that he export duty on gold was taken off at
Melbourne on the Ist of January last. The Lady Melville
has £264,000 ; Kenilworth, £37,000; Macduff, .£290,000 ;
Mediator, £37,000 ; True Briton, .£115;000 ; Holmesdale,
£190,000; and the superb, £72,000.
