WORSHIP-STREET.

STABBING BY AN ITALIAN Boy.—Yesterday, an Italian
boy, who had a box containing a racoon slurg at his back,
was charged with stabbing a lad named Edward NV ood, resid-
ing at Hackney.
The prisoner's name could not be ascertained, for he would
not speak, and made signs that be did not understand what was
said, although it was stated that he had previously spoken Eng-
lish plainly enough.
The young complainant, who had his arm in a sling, stated
that about half-past three yesterday afternoon he saw the pri-
soner sitting in Navarino-place, Clapton, with his box contain-
ing the racoon, and he expressed a wish to look at the animal,
but the prisoner, he said, flew into a violent passion and
ran at him with an open knife, which he drew from his
pocket. The complainant said he tried to get the knife out of
the prisoner's hand, and he then made a stab at his stomach.
He, however, put out his arm to ward off the blow, and re-
ceived a cut upon his hand.
The waiter at the lied Cow, Dalston, and two other wit-
nesses, stated that they saw the prisoner make a back-handed
stab at the complainant, and the knife, a rough kind of
Spanish knife, with ablade about five inches long, was pro-
duced by the police.
Mr. 13stouGwrox remanded him for the present, and de-
sired the police to communicate with his master, who, it was
stated, lives on Saffron-hill,

LITERATURE.

GENERAL ORDERS and RULES of the HIGH
COURT of CHANCERY, issued by the LORD
HIGH CHANCELLOR, Bth May, 1845, with Notes
and Index, by George S. Allnutt, Esq., of the Middle
Temple, Barrister- at-Law.
_ _

The above orders come into operation on the 28th of
October next ; consequently a well-arranged edition of
them is absolutely requisite for both branches of the
profession. Mr. Allnutt's work possesses so many ad-
vantages, that we cannot refrain from recommending it
to.the attention of those for whose benefit it has been
compiled ; and we can conscientiously say that, in the
hurry of business, this little work, from its size, price,
well-arranged, copious, and accurate index, and the
clear, concise, and explanatory notes which are attached
to it, will be found peculiarly valuable, and answer the
purpose of the practitioner far better than a more elabo-
rate edition.

to be carried to the credit of bad and d,,ubiful debt ac-
count, which will reduce the balance to 66,4061. 6s. 101.
The Directors bad flattered themselves they would
have been enabled on the present occasion to re-
port an increased amount of profit as compared
with that of the previous half-year ; but the
sudden termination of the crop in many of the colonies
at an unusually early period, by an unlooked for acces-
sion of bad weather, and its consequent diminution, had
be effect of materially checking the bank's operations,
and %f decreasing its profits, even to a slight degree be-
low those of the preceding six months. On a comparison,
however, of the profits made during the entire year
1844 with those of the preceding year, they will be
found better by upwards of 2,200/.
With re erence to had and doubtful debts, the balance
of that account will have been reduced by nearly 50,0001.
compared with that stated to the Proprietors at the half-
yearly meeting held in January, I (44.
It alEirds the Directors satisfaction to be able to state
that since the commencement of the present year the
operations of the bank in the colonies have been steadily
increasing, and, they trust, without undue risk, as the
transactions appear to be of a sound and satisfactory
character. They consequently expect, at the next half-
yearly meeting, to have an improved statement to
submit to, the Proprietors, as the accounts of the half
year just ended, which are thus far in their possession,
exhibit an increase of profit arising from the extension
of business. On the whole, the Directors are of opinion
the prospects of the bank are improving, and with an
appearance of steadiness which leads them to hope that,
with a little further exercise of that forbearance which
the Proprietors have hitherto displayed, the corpora-
tion will surmount the effects of those adverse citcum-

(THIS DAY.)

--.-.•JAN1.....---

NOUSE OF CtiY4liONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'Clock.
Leave was asked and granted for Committees to sit, notwith-
standing the meeting of the House.
Mr. CARDWELL moved the order of the day for going
into Committee on the
MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL.
Mr. WAWN observed that last night the House was led to
believe that the Commons Inclosure Bill would be the first
business proceeded with this day, and as many Members,
acting on this belief, had absented themselves, he urged the
Hon. Member the Vice-President of the Board of Trade to
proceed with the
COMMONS INCLOSE/RE BILL.
Mr. CARDWELL having consented, the House resolved
into Committee on this Bill.
Clauses up to 70 inclusive having been previously discussed,
the 71st was that now commenced with. On this latter ciente,
as well as on the 76, 85, 88, and 104, a desultory conver-
sation arose between Mr. Wawn, Mr. Bouverie, Lord Lin-
coln, and Lord Clive, but these, as well as the intermediate,
were eventually agreed to.-j
Clauses up to 103 were then agreed to, with some verbal
amendments.
Air. HENLEY thought that the principle of compulsory al-
lotment would be anything but beneficial to the poor. He must
enter his protest against it.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD entertained no such apprehension
with regard to the allotment system. He thought that it
would be more effectual than any proposal he had heard for the
permanent relief of the pcor.
The 104th clause was then read.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD objected to the clause. He con-
sidered that the allotment should be altered from half an acre
to an acre.
Lord LINCOLN opposed the amendment.
The clause was allowed to stand part of the Bill.
On the 105th clause being read,
Mr. BO UYERIE objected to this clause. He con-
sidered the warders should not be empowered to turn out
the occupants of allotments, unless upon very strong grounds.
He considered that it would be quite unprecedented to confer a
power of such an arbitrary kind upon the wardens as this
clause conferred. He was quite sure that the Noble Earl never
contemplated such a thing.
The Earl of LINCOLN thought that if this clause were
struck out the Bill would be rendered completely inoperative,
and all the advantages which he anticipated from the Bill would
be prevented.
Mr. COWPER thought the wording of the clause was too
stringent.
After a desultory conversation, in which Mr. Henley, Mr.
Wortley, Mr. Cowper, and Mr. Crawford joined,
The clause was agreed to, with some amendments, agreeably
to meet the suggestions of Mr. Bouverie.
Clauses 106 and 107 were agreed to.

GENERAL ORDERS and RULES of the HIGH
COURT of CHANCERY, issued by the LORD
HIGH CHANCELLOR, Bth May, 1845 L with Notes
and Index, by GeorgwS. Allnutt, Esq., or the Middle

Temple, Barris,cr at Law.
The above orders come into operation on the 28th of
October next ; con,equently a well-arranged edition of
them is absolutely requisite for both branches of the
protes.ion. Mr. Allnutt's work possesses so many ad-
vantag, s, that we cannot retrain from recommending it
to the attention of those for whose benefit it has been
compiled ; and we can conscientiously say that, in the
hurry of business, this little work, from its size, price,
well-arranged, copious, and accurate index, and the
clear, concise, and explanatory notes which are attached
to it, will be found peculiarly valuable, and answer the
purpose of the practitioner far better than a more elabo-
rate edition.

PLEASURE VANS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I do hope that you will allow me the: use of a
small space in your columns—open always to the expo•
sure of oppression—to denounce, in the strongest terms,
the cruelty perpetrated on the poor horses employed to
drag the pleasure (!) vans to Hampton-court, and other
places. _ _

That the love of gain may induce the owners of such
conveyances to overload and overtask the animals they
employ, is easily understood ; but how thirty persons,
and frequently more, can exferience any pleasure in
being dragged by a pair of p ,or horses, for whose appa-
rent strength the vehicle itself is load enough, and of
whose sufferings they must be reminded at every step,
would be a matter of surprise were it nut of daily occur-
rence. Every feeling of humanity is outraged by the
spectacle of worn-out, miserable-looking horses arriving
in town, particularly on Sundays, with loads of pleasure
seekers, utterly disproportioned to the strength of the
animals. If there be no other means of checking this
cruelty, at least let public attention and reprobation be
drawn to it, and some good will result.
I am far, indeed, from wishing to abridge innocent en-
joyments and recreations, but I confess I am desirous to
see them partaken of without subjecting to such misery
as he is now made to endure, the noble and useful horse.
—I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient ser-
vant, G. M.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

THE Election of the Hon. W. L. MELVILLE,
of the Bengal Civil Service, to the vacancy consequent upon
the demise of the late Major-General Sir J. Bryant, C. 8., leaves in
the Court of Directors but one officer of the. Bengal Army,
amounting to more than half of the force by which the East
India Company maintain their, sovereignty over the vast empire ac-
quired by their arms.

The constituent parts of this large force differ from each other, as
well as from the armies of Madras and norribay: in religion, usage,
and partially In language, to which I may add,• that the regulations
existing in each presidency do not always assimilate. Hence arise
questions involving important.interests. I hope, therefore, I may,
without being deemed presumptnous, solicit your support and favour-
able consideration of my pretensions on the occasion of the next
vacancy in the East India diruction.—l have the honour to remain,
Ladies and Gentlemen, your obedient and faithful servant,
J. CAULFIELD, Major-General Bengal Army.

AIMED ♦ND OTHERS V. ARNETT.

The plaintiffs are eminent merchants in the City. The de-
fendant is a well-known Custom• house agent, and the action
was brought to recover 181/. from the defendant, which the
plaintiffs alleged had been paid by them to a former confidential
clerk of theirs, who committal suicide in 1841, and by him to
the defendant for clearing from the Custom-house a certain
quantity of goods belonging to them, which, however, were
removed without the payment of duty, and the duty on which
the plaintiffs were afterwards obliged to pay over again. After
a great deal of evidence had been gone into, the Lord Chief
Baron recommended the case to be referred, as it was impos-
sible for a jury to do justice between the parties.

THE COLON [AL BANK.

The Colonial Bank Proprietors have received a more
favourable report of their operations in the West Indies,
though they have not yet received a dividend, the former
losses being so heavy. The position of the bank may
be expected to improve, but, at present, it is shown in
the following:—
The Directors now lay before the Proprietors the cus-
tomary statement of the debts and assets of the corpora-
tion, as required by the charter, made up to the 31st of
December, 1844, in which is exhibited the amounts of
profit realised by the bank during the half-year ending
at that period, viz. :

hands to fake it ; but remember that it will not be given
to you as a free gift. It will be conceded with a sullen re-
luctance, and I repeat that the only question will be whether
you will put out your hands to take it.—(Hear, hear.)
The repeal of the corn-laws, like other great changes,
will not be given to you as a free gift, and it will,
like those other great changes, be the result of the
steady and persevering exertions of the people themselves.
There are at present, I am satisfied, no less than 80 or 100
Members of Peel's majority, who could not hold up their
heads against him ' • and if you take these, and add them to
the numbers of the Opposition, you will find it will place him
in such a position that he can carry any such measure as
this.—(Hear, hear.) Well, then, it will be asked, will Wel-
lington agree to such a measure ? Perhaps not at first. Per-
haps the House of Lords would in the first instance reject it,
but let the country be appealed to, and let it pronounce in
favour of the measure, and the House of Lords will submit
to it, and bishops will not oppose it, but will express wonder
how long they could have been supporters of such a horrible
thing as monopoly.—(Laughter and cheers.)' Sir Robert
Peel would have no difficulty in repealing the corn-
laws, and what a dreadful responsibility must it be upon a
Minister who knows the effects of monopoly as well as any
man, and yet having the power to do so, hesitates to repeal
the corn-laws.—(Hear, hear.) The whole responsibility now
rests on Sir R. Peel—he can command the Cabinet—he can
command the House of Commons, and if he now takes the
proper, the bold, and the manly course, I believe the country
will support him.—( Hear, and cheers.) Opening the ports
has been talked of, but that is not what we want; such a
course may be necessary in a great emergency, but it is only
an expedient, and our object is not to provide against the
present scarcity alone, but against scarcity in future.—
(Cheers.) I believe, if we exert ourselves, the time is ap-
proaching when this odious law will be swept from the
statute-book, and will be consigned to the records of the
past, only to be regarded as a beacon to future generations.
Mr. BRIGHT next addressed the meeting, followed by
other speakers of less note, when the party broke up.
