CROW V. LONGLANP.

The plaintiff in this action is a surveyor, and the defendant
is a hosier at Mawr'. The claim was for 171. 10s., for super-
intending the erection of some houses. It appeared that the
plaintiff h.td made out a specification, for which he was paid.
The defendant said he thought that he could manage without a
surveyor, but if plaintiff would look in occasionally he would
compensate him. The plaintiff attended assiduously, but no
arrangement, however, being come to, plaintiff, had claimed
a per centage of one-and-a-quarter per cent. on the outlay
(44001.), which was only one-half the usual charge.
" Fur the detendantl it. was proved that the plaintiff said
that he would not make any charge. but take whatever defend-
ant thought a fair remuneration, and that he had afterwards
said he would take 5/. (which sum was now paid into Court).
A letter was also put in, in which he said he had given his
opinion without tt tee or reward."
Mr. T,romas. in reply, urged that the conversation and
letter referred to a minor transaction, and it was absurd to
suppse that a man would go day by day, for six months, on
such an agreement, and the payment of 5/. into Court proved
that the defendant knew he was liable. Plaintiff admitted a
set-,,ff of I/. 15s.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

CO II T IF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 21.
(Before Mr. Cmunivioner F msr.ANctuis.)
IN RE JAMES COPELAND.

The bankrupt was this thy brought up on application for his
interim order. It will he remembered that at a former hearing
it appeared that the seneduled debts amounted to 33,000/., of
which the bankrurr stated the greater part to be renewals of
debt. since nis toriner bankruptcy. On the last hearing the cer-
tificate could not be produced, as it was alleged to be detained
in the hands of a solicitor, who claimed to have a lien upon it.
Mr. Stru aneos, who appeared for the bankrupt, stated
that .Ur. Dobson, who was represented in the former schedule
as a creditor fur 21,000 L, being the amount in which Colonel
Cdpelaild was security to that gentleman for Lord Hunting-
tower, c'rusented to release the bankrupt from the whole amount
exclit 1,80')!.
Tire schedule, amended accordingly, was then put in.
The eei titivate of the last bankruptcy was not yet forthcom-
ing. and a goo I deal of discussion took place as to the neces-
sity for its production before the interim order could be granted.
STII ita EON contended that parole' evidence of the bank-
ruptcy and the grant of the certificate was sufficient. The
fa:: s, indeed, were to be ascertained from the records of the
court.

After an argument of no interest, the Learned Cosons-
SIONEtt xranted the interim order, and gave the bankrupt his
]rot cum'. He also adimrned the case to a 4•dLstant day,"
which he did mit name, intimating that the oppoing parties
might, if they pleased, make an application in the meantime.

THE RAILWAY REGISTER.

The present number commences with the second of
the valuable series of articles on railways in Ireland.
This article-is illustrated by a map of Ireland, sitowilig
all the railways existing or projected. The writer goes
at great length into the question of the social iniseries,of
Ireland, their causes, and remedies. The cause is easily
perceived ; it is the selfishness of the Irish landocraey,
which has ever considered property and power as every-
thing, man as nothing, and has deprived man—willing,
hard-working man—of the market for his labour.
" The conclusion to be drawn from all these Statements Is,
that there is no market for labour in Ireland, nor for the
.produce of labour. -It has been shown, however, that there
are abundance of natural products in Ireland, which, by the
application of labour, might become valuable in exchange,
and give, a fair return for the labour employed upon them.
The effect of laying clown a system of railways in Ireland
would be to give immediate employment to labour, in the
first instance in the necessary works of the lines themselves,
and afterwards to open free communication to the labour-
market of the world. Their effect will be to introduce civili-
sation and the abodes of peace, where landlord's cupidity
has sought to civilise by destroying the miserable abodes of
his tenants."

In this conclusion we entirely agree, and we look upon
railways as the forerunners of a long career of pros-
perity to Ireland. The papers on Indian railways are
continued, and we have the ,first of a series of valuable
papers on metropolitan improvements. The various
railway schemes of the month are commented on, and
in various instances illustrated by maps, and altogether
the present number of the Register fully sustains the
high character which this most useful periodical has
already acquired.

In consequence of the great number of applications for share-

tion o :the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be'cotnpelled most
strictly.to adhere:—

" AS under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereharn Railway Companies,

STATUE OF SIR JAMES SHAW, THE LATE CHAM-
BERLAIN OF THE CITY.—It is by no means generally known
that a statue is about to be erected to the memory of Sir
James Shaw, who preceded Sir William Heygate in the
office of Chamberlain of the City of London. The statue is
to be male by Mr. Fillans, the sculptor, and to be placed in
Kilmarnock, where, we believe, Sir James Shaw was born.
A plaster of Paris cast, from a splendid model of the statue,
was some weeks ago sent by Mr. Fillans to the committee at
Kilmarnock appointed to carry into effect the wishes of the
townspeople, for approval. They unanimously approved of
the cast, and the sculptor is now at work on the block-. The
statue is to be colossal, and to stand on a granite pedestal
fourteen feet altitude.

WAY COM • •A NY
PROPOSED AMALGAMATION WITH THE LONDON

AND BRIGHTON.
A meeting of the Directors and Shareholders of this Com-
pany was held yesterday, at the London-bridge station, for the
purpose of the Directors submitting, in the form of a resolu-
tion'amalgamatethe terms on which they proposed to amalgamate with
the London and Brighton Company
WILKINSON, Esq., having taken the chair, proceeded to
state briefly the substance of the resolution, which he then
read, and which will be found in our advertising columns.
When he bad concluded his address to the meeting, several
questions were put to him relative to the details of the
plan, all of which he said he thought it would be more pru-
dent to leave for the present in the hands of the Direc-
tors. In answer to another series of questions which
were put in reference to the constituit,n of the future
Board of Directors of the united companies, and
the mode of disposing of the existing stall' of
officers, he said, in answer to the first of these questions,
that he conceived that the present mode of management in
all railway companies was a mere fiction. He called
attention to the manner in which all the breweries, banks,
and other great commercial establishments were condUcted:
that was, by a regular number of partners, who made it their
business to apply themselves daily and unceasingly to the
affairs of their concerns, without which it would be impos-
sible for them to go on; and he contended that until railway
companies were placed under the direcction and manage-
ment of a number of persons who would be equally re
sponsible and interested, they could not go on satisfactorily
either to themselves, the proprietors, or the public. He had
deemed it necessary to make these few observations on this
point as it was probable that this would be the last
meeting of this Company over which he should preside.
In respect to the officers, he had not the least
doubt but that they would be provided for, for it was not to
be supposed that faithful servants would be summarily dis-
missed. In answer to another question, he said the time for
amalgamation had not yet been definitively fixed, but he
supposed it would take place either in January or July next.
The question was then put, and the meeting expressed
their unanimous approbation of the terms of the amal-
gamation.

- The CHAIRMAN next laid before the meeting a proposi-
tion for forming a steam-packet company in connexion with
the Brighton Railway Company, in order to compete for the
traffic coming from the opposite coast. He also congratu-
lated the Company upon the fact, that the Croydon Company
were the first to establish the atmospheric principle; and he
had not the least doubt upon his mind but that in a few
years the atmospheric railway system would effect as great
a revolution in railways as steam had done in the former
modes of travelling, because the atmospheric plan would be
found to be safer, cheaper, and more rapid.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the
meeting separated.

THE CORN-LAWS.

Whilst the public mind has been kept in a state of sus-
pense, the Ministerial Councils have been distracted with
divisions as to the extent and remedies of the famine crisis,
It has ever been so. The tenacity of human hope clings to,
and the weakness of human reason parades, slight pretexts
in the presence of impending calamities. It is not until the
danger becomes too great to be resisted with success or con-
fronted with courage that the errors of a rash confidence
and the folly of a specious procrastination are confessed ; and
then the Immensity of the crisis is put forward as an excuse
for acts which were once justifiable on the score of prudence,
but have finally become inevitable from necessity. It is
116
118 ftif teed, Whether in the Cabinet or out of it, to
disguise or to understate the magnitude of the impending
anger. It is no use for theni to argue that, becauFe
wheat is cheap in England, there is no chance of famine
heft Of that the failure of the potato crop Itt Ireland
cannot affect the Corti markets in this country. The facts
are known to every man who has had the will and op-
portunity for inquiry. Wheat is cheap. But what wheat?
very worst that is brought to market. Good wheat—
the wheat which supplies the table of all middle-class fami-
lies7=is alfesdy dear: What, then, may it be expected to
be four, five, six, and teti Itiontbs from this time? The juggle
of the averages returns a fictitious iltiCC just now by con-
founding the good with the bad. The averages determine
the duty, and the duty is such as to exclude
a supply from
abroad. Under any circumstances, therefore, it is reasonable
to anticipate that before the period of another harvest arrives,
the staple food of all classes will have become dear; that of
the poorest and lowest, dear beyond the possibility of pur-
chase. But when we take into consideration the state of
the continental markets—the deficient crops in France,
Belgium, and Holland, and tha prospective demands
of those countries on the granaries of Europe—the case
is complicated with new difficulties and new absurdi-
ties. It is not many weeks since a large quantity of corn
was taken out of bond in England and shipped to foreign
ports; let the present .duty continue but a few weeks longer,
and much cf that 14413 remains in Wad exported to

English messenger, it appears, hay `the 30th nit. An
arril,ed with dispatches
from Lord ABERDEEN, and
-nrn:a of the papers infer that he
had brought important in4selince relative to the marriage
of the QUEEN and
sister. The Espcctador says, the
British Cabinet h
ige
:ctri forwarded a note to the Spanish Govern-
ment, in 711i"-,:n it protests against the contemplated marriage
between 'the QUEEN'S sister and the Duke DE MOgITENSIER,
ast, till her MAJEsia• shall be married and:have issue.
i'he banishment of the confessor to Don FRANCISCO DE
PAULA was still a subject of conversation. According to the
Eco del Comercia, he had been ordered to repair to Albacete,
his native place, notwithstanding a favourable audience he
had obtained of the Queen-Mother, to whom he had
represented that her sister, the late Infanta Dona
CARLOTA, had, on her death-bed, desired him to remain
with her sons. No reason is assigned for the order.
Martial law had been proclaimed at Malaga on the 28th
October, in consequence, as appears by a proclamation of
General BarroN, of the discovery of some military con-
spiracy. The Clabo states that Ministers had assured their
friends that, previous to the meeting of the Cortes, the nego-
tiations with the Court of Rome would be brought to a sue-
cessful issue, the QUEEN acknowledged, and the sale of the
Church property sanctioned. The scheme for raising the
funds bad suet:Wed, and stocks continued to rise. On the

LOVE,

Now ready, In 3 vols. post Avo.,
A TALE OF VENICE;
3thSMERISM, A MYSTERY.
By lIO!tACE SMITH, Esq.,
Author of " Brambletye House," &c.
0 These volumes are full of interest and beauty. Love' is a very
charming tale of Venice during the first campaign of Buonaparte in
Italy. Amelia Lamedano, its heroine, is one of the loveliest and
most graceful of all Mr. Smith's creations. The characters are greatly
varied and ably sustained throughout. Mesmerism' is a production
of altogother a different class. Bordering on the supernatural, it is
exceedingly curious in its construction, excites an intense and thril-
ling interest, and with much of admirable moral, it throws much
light upon the obsctr e, and, as yet, little understood subject of animal
magnetism."—Naval and Military Gazette.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The President, 50, Captain
Stanley, flag of Rear-Admiral J. R. Dacres, appointed to the
command-in-chief at the Cape of Good Hope, went out to
Spithead to-day in tow of the Echo steamer; the wind being
dead against her, she did not unfurl her canvass. A very
distinguished party of naval and military officers and their
friends went out in her, among them Major-General the
Hon. Sir Hercules Pakenham, K.C.8., Governor of this gar-
rison, and the Hon. Lady Pakenham. The President will
sail in a day or two to relieve the Winchester, 50, Captain
Eden, Hag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. Percy, whose period
of service has expired. It is expected that the Juno, 26,
Captain Blake, will sail at the same time, and try her rate
of speed with the President as far as Rio.

The Dasher steam surveying vessel, Commander Sherring-
ham, went out this morning to resume her survey of the
Solent, &c.

The Edinburgh, 72, was brought down from her moor-
ings into the basin this morning. Workmen are engaged in
stripping her preparatory to her being converted into a block-
ship for this port.
The Ajax, 72, having been cut down and stripped, was taken
out of dock into the harbour yesterday. She will be towed
in a day or two down to Cowes, where she will be fitted
for a block-ship for this port under the direction of Mr.
White, the eminent ship and yacht builder.
The Scourge :Acorn-bomb vessel shipped her mortar, and
had it fitted yesterday. She then left the basin, and is now
alongside the jetty shipping her tanks and other stores. It
is intended to take her in a day or two to the back of the
Wight for the purpose of tr 3 ing the effect of firing her mortar.
Yesterday a party of Royal Artillery were exercised in
gunnery on Southsea Castle in the presence of Colonel Bran-
dreth, commanding the Royal Engineers in this garrison.
The shot practice was from long 24-pounders at a target at
point blank range on the water. At the third or fourth shot
the staff was shattered. The practice was admirable, and
the men performed their various evolutions with much credit
to themselves. The man who struck the staff was rewarded.
The recoil of the guns was very great. A large quantity of
new powder from Purfleet was placed in this fortress yester-
day, and in the magazine under the King's Bastion, for the
service of the garrison.
The Nautilus, 10, Lieut.-Commander Macdonald, came up
to Spithead from the eastward this evening at sunset.
