THE RAILWAY REGISTER.

The present number commences with the second or
the valuable series of articles on railways in Ireland.
This article is illustrated by a map of Ireland, showing
all the railways existing or projected. The writer goes
at great length into the question of the social miseries of
Ireland, their causes, and remedies. The cause is easily
perceived ; it is the selfishness of the Irish landocrecy;
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 then
application of labour, might become valuable in exchange„
and give a fair return for the labour employed upon them..
The effect of laying down a system of railways in Ireland
would be to give immediate employment to labour; in the
tirat 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-'
nation and the abodes of peace, where landlord's cupidity
his 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.

THE BANKERS' MAGAZINE.. No. XX.
This useful periodical is continued with great ability.
We cannot entirely subscribe to all the notions an-
nounced in a paper on " The Effect of Railway Calls on
the Currency and on Credit;" but it ought to have its just
effect with the public, by disabusing their minds of the
foolish fears which have been expressed so vividly, by
some of our contemporaries as to the melancholy effects
to be anticipated from the payment to the Accountant-
General of the Court of Chancery (or rather to the
Bank of England), at nearly the same time, of 20,000,000 i.
sterling, or more, in the deposit of 10 per cent. on the
capital of the railway schemes to be submitted
lo the next session of Parliament. " Irish Banking
under the New Act" is also a very useful paper, drawn
up, as we are informed in an introductory, note, by a
practical Irish banker of great experience and authority.

THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE (Old Series),
and Weekly Journal of Proceedings affecting the Agri-

cultural Interest.

The embellishment of this number is a portrait of
long-woolled wether sheep, bred by his Grace the
Duke of Bedford, at Oakley Farm, Bedfordshire. We
have often expressed our sense of the general utility of
this periodical, and of the practical ability and perfect
candour with which it is conducted. The present part
in every respect sustains the well-merited reputation
which the Magazine has acquired with a widely-ex-
tended community of readers. The melancholy aspect
of the potato crop gives a degree of painful, as well as
of important interest to two pages, entitled, respectively,
" the Potato Murrain," and " the Potato Disease."

LA W INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Noy. 6.
ROBERTS V. MADDOX.-JUDOMENT.

The Loin CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
ease, which was heard before his Lordship some considerable
time since, upon an appeal motion from the decision of the
Vice-Chancellor of England refusing to dissolve an injunc-
tion. His Lordship was of opinion that the Court below had
some to a correct conclusion, and ordered the judgment to-be
affarrned.

MILLER V. CRAIG.

The further argumentss—in thiS----part-heard case were re-
sumed to-day, and occupied his Lordship until the rising of
the Court, shortly before two o'clock.
liis Lordship rose at this early hour for the purpose of at-
tending a Cabinet Council.

ROLL'S COURT, Nov. 6.
LONG V. BUN'NF.Y.
This was a petition in which the plaintiff, Ann Elizabeth
Long, a, minor, by means of her friends, sought to impugn
It decision found before the Master. From the facts of the
case it appeared that the plaintiff was the illegitimate child
of a gentleman named Gilmore, who died in 1842, bequeath-
ing her a sum of money equivalent to 100/. per annum, as
well as other property. The widow of the testator having
contessed the validity of the will, one of the trustees of the
petitioner tiled a bill in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, and
the defendant was appointed her guardian, thus setting
aside, to a certain extent, the will of the plaintiff's
father, which nominated a female, Mary Pointer, to the
guardianship of the petitioner during her minority.
The grounds on which the Vice-Chancellor had made
this order were, that the mother of the petitioner was
an illiterate person, and that Mary Pointer was not qualified
to supply her place, or superintend the education of plaintiff.
The petition contended that Bunney had an interest adverse
to that of the petitioner, being one of the executors of the
will ; and having sold some of the timber on the property,
which belonged to the plaintiff; and granted leases incurious
to her interests, consequently was entitled to be the pint), at
whose suit proceedings should be instituted.
The arguments in this case occupied the whole day, and
his Lordship expressed his determination to delay giving his
judgment, in crder to give the case full deliberation.
