- V. THE AGRICULTURAL BANK OF IRELAND.

Mr. KELLY moved for a rule to set aside a judgment
obtained in this cause, and to let in a defence. The ac-
tion was brought against a person named Hughes, who
was the public officer of the above bank. It appeared
that they carried on business till June, 1840 ; having no
funds, a general meeting was called in October, when the
Company was dissolved. There had been many transactions
between the Bank and the St. George's Steam Packet
Company, and there were some gentlemen who held
shares in both concerns, and, of course, they were cog-
nizant of the affairs of both. After the bank had stop-
ped payment, a person named Hodgson, who was the
agent of the bank, was induced to sign a promissory-
note for 5001., which was assed to the Steam Packet
Company, and by them kefit till it was due, when an
action was immediately brought upon it against Hughes,
who had long ceased to be the public officer ; in fact, the
bank had been dissolved long before that, and that mo-
ment he lost the character of its public officer. How-
ever, it appeared that that gentleman had come over to
England for the purpose of accepting process in the
cause, and judgment was allowed to go by default. A
scire facias was issued against two gentlemen who had
been partners in the bank, but who were wholly igno-
rant of the note, or of any of the proceedings which they
now sought to set aside, and to have liberty to defend the
action.

Lord ABINGER—What was the date of the dissolution
of the Banking Company.
Mr. KELLY—The 19th October, 1840, and the note is
dated in December following.
Lord ABINGER—The matter requires exp'anation.
There is something like collusion here. You may take
a rule.

BAIL COURT, Jan. 13.
IN RE BARNARD CAVANAGH.

It will be recollected, that Mr. James applied to the
Court yesterday for a rule nisi, and a writ of habeas
corpus directed to the Governor of Reading Gaol, to
bring up the body of Bernard Cavanagh, the fasting
man, now in his custody, the propriety of granting which
the Court took time to consider. This morning, when
Mr. James came into Court,

Mr. Justice Wimorests said he was of opinion that the
rule nisi ought to be granted, so as to bring on the case
for argument. He granted the application on the point
as to whether the applicant had committed any offence
within the statute. As to the other point raised, that
the pretence had not been negatived, he apprehended it
would not be very difficult-to deny that a man could live
or die for five years.
Mr. JAMES said he had understood from the officers at
the Crown-office that it would be necessary at the same
time to bring np the depositions,-and he therefore moved
for a certiorari for that purpose.
Mr. Justice IVILLIAsts—It will be time enough for
that when the writ of habeas goes.—Rule nisi for a
habeas granted.

'IMEISCEMLANEOUS.

To supply a sheet of ice to the inhabitants of Brighton,
a drain, was opened with the intention of overflowing
the Brighton Level, which is about ten acres in extent.
But on the attempt being made the water rose above the
Level, and threw some cellars three feet deep in water.
The plan has been since abandoned. -
A brilliant and splendid concert was given on Monday
evening last in Paris by the Duke and Duchess, of
Orleans. Lord and Lady Cowley were amonc, the com-

were engaged on the occasion.
It may be regarded as a sign of the times, that two of
the old drinking-houses at Monmouth have been con-
verted into eating-houses.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,I2.—The de-
mand for Cotton to-day has been very moderate, the
sales scarcely amounting to 3,000 bales, all of which
have been taken by the trade at steady prices.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JAN. 12.—The transac-
tions at the Stock Exchange this day, are—Eastern
Counties, 88; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 48; Great West-
ern, New, 61 ; London and Birmingham, New, 28* ;
LondOn and Brighton, 38i.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JAN. 12.—Prices
continuefirm, and for want of Stock very little business
has been done. Our sales are :—North Midland, 72} ;
Manchester, Bolton, and Bury, 51i ; Manchester and
Birmingham, 28; Manchester and Leeds, Quarter Shares,
:3/. 16s.

Her Majesty's packet Petrel has arrived with a mail
from the West Indies: the dates are, from Jamaica 13th,
Trinidad Ist, Demerara 3d, and Barbadoes 4th Dec. The
advices, however, are not of importance ; nothing parti-
cular had transpired in the House of Assembly at
Jamaica.

The accounts from Trinidad state that the labourers
are working well, especially on such estates as pay money
alone, and where the last relic ofbarbarism and slavery
has been abolished, viz., the truck system. The canes in
general are looking well. -
Scarcely a bargain has been transacted up to the pro-
sent time, and the Market remains flat at the leaving off
price of yesterday—Consols being quoted at 88+ s ; Ex-
chequer Bills, 17 19 prem.
Spanish Active Stock, 25*1 ; Passive, 5+ 6 ; Portu-
guese Five per Cents., 321 4 ; ditto Threes, 19+ *; Mexi-
can Bonds, 28+ 29+.
A public meeting of Proprietors and Representatives
of Estates took place at Demerara, on the Ist December,
at which the fact was elicited, to be laid formally be-
fore the Governor, that on sixty-two estates (two having
been added to the sixty) selected indiscriminately from the
district of Demerara and Essequibo the average cost of
producing a cask of Sugar was 12 dollars 41 cents. above
its average market price. The intelligent labourers
themselves cannot expect that Sugar will continue to be
raised under such a system.
The Government broker has been in the market
again this morning, and effected some further sales of
Consols at 881 and 88k, which was full lower than the
opening price. -
The following are the quotations of Consols during the
morning :-981 1 ex. div. Money ; 88i 1 tfor the Ac-
count. Three per Cents. Reduced
.are now quoted at
89 ; India Bonds, 911 preth. Exchequer Bills, 15 17.
There has been but little business transacted in the
Foreign Securities. Spanish Active Stock is quoted at
25i ; Portuguese Three :per Cents., 19+ ; Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 51* ; Ditto, Fives, MI.
There are only three quotations to notice in the Share
Market :—London and Brighton, 37i ; South Western,
58i ; Manchester and Leeds, 70i.
Consuls, 88+ ; Ditto February, 89i I ; Mexican,
294 ; Spanish, 25*

the women and boys for hoeing and weeding, harvest
wages, grass seeds, statute labour, and a trilling Poor-
rate. This is a goodly list ; but I say, take all these
items together, they do not, for ordinary management,
exceed 10s. 6d. per imperial acre ; and many of them
would be materially modified were any permanent
change to take place in the
.price of food. A
.tenant
who may be draining, purchasing foreign manure, and
otherwise improving his farm, -may, for an additional
outlay of 10s. 6d. per imperial acre, cut a very respect-
able figure in his profession. I speak this ex cathedra ; •
if actual experience is any guide to knowledge, I should
possess it... Now, unless it is contended that the repeal
of- the Bread-tax would cause such a demand for labour,
that the labourer's share of the produce must be greatly
increased, how is it possible that a single acre can be
thrown out of cultivation?—(Hear, hear)—but if this ar-
gument is used, then I say, the sooner the whole empire
is turned into pasturage the better. I think I have said
enough to prove that high prices are not so very neces-
sary to the farmers as some are apt to imagine,—
(Cheerso But I tell you more, that in 1836, when wheat
was selling at 365. per quarter, we (lid well ; but that
since then—in 1839 for example—with wheat at 725. per
quarter, just double what it was in 1836, farmers in East
Lothian, myself amongst them, actually lost money. We
did not grow grain sufficient for our rents and expenses ;
the additional quantity wanted must be made up ; tin
higher the price the worse for the tenant. So much fot
the benefit of high prices to us tenant-farmers, who pay
corn-rents. Steady markets arc of fir more importance
to us, than high prices with violent fluctuations ; bit
which will never be obtained till the market of Britait.
is-thrown open to the world.
The resolution was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. WALLACE, of Kelly, M.P. for Greenock, next
addressed the meeting, and concluded an able and elo-
quent speech, for which we cannot now find room, by
exhorting the meeting to acknowledge themselves out-
and-out repealers—(Great cheering)—no compromise—
no Bs. fixed daty.—(Hear, hear.) He did not say, as
a Parliament man, , that he would not take the best he
could get, and 100 for more • hut don't let those pre
sent do that. (The Hon. Member sat down amidstgrea
cheering.)

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

As the leading brokers continue their sales, and there
have been parcels of stock also thrown on the market
on account of the Court of Chancery, we cannot yet no-
tice any improvement in the funds. On the contrary
prices again receded a little to-day. Stock for present
transfer was more plentiful than for delivery to-morrow,
and the prices occasionally were higher for the latter
during the day. There-was, however, no marked differ-
ence between the two ; Consols being 88* to 88i for
Money, and 881 to 88i for to-morrow. Exchequer
Bills were worth .18s. to 14s. premium, being a slight
decline on yesterday's rates. Money was rather scarcer
in the Stock Exchange. East India Bonds remained
firm at the improvement to 9s. and 11s. Bank Stock
was at 167. Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were
98i to 99 ; New Three-and• a-Half per Cents. 981 to
98, ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities 89 to 891.
The Foreign Securities were quiet. Spanish Active
Bonds did not range higher than 25 to 25i. Portuguese
Three per Cents. were 19* ; and Mexican, 29. Dutch
Five per Cents, were 1001 to loci.
The Share Market was not more animated than that
for Foreign Stocks. Brighton Railway were lower. The
others much the same.

We regret to record the death of John Calvert, M.D.,
arid member of most of the Philosophic and Learned So-
cieties of Europe. The Doctor's health has been declin-
ing for a considerabir period, and under an impression
that the salubrious air of Falmouth would tend to sup-
port, if not invigorate, his shattered constitution, he re-
mained there instead of pursuing his original intention
of taking a voyage to Madeira. Thus, on the very day
on which he attained his fortieth year (last Sunday), this
eminent man ceased to exist.

The following remarks on the linen trade of
Belgium and France are taken from the Consti-
tutionnel

The insufficiency of the new -protecting duty on
linens becomes daily more manifest. Things remain
just as bad as in 1841, except that instead of being
ruined by English competition we are so by Belgian.
Belgium, proportionally produces more linen than
England, and is consequently a more dangerous rival.
M. Lelievre has fully shown this in a pamphlet sum-
ming up the linen question. The French manufac-
turer, says M. Lelievre, -payS 48 francs duty on his
thread, whilst Belgian linen can enter at a duty of
30 francs; Thus it costs 12 francs less to import 100
kilogrammes of 13elgign linen_than to imprt the same
quantity of English thread. The state of things in
1841 would be 'preferable for the French linen manu-
facturer; for at present thread is, and will be, much
cheaper in Belgium, and the Belgians retain immense
advantages. Such is the industry of the Belgians,
that notwithstanding the progress of machinery, their
women continue to spin in stray and idle hours, and
thus add to the production a great quantity and a
better kind of the article in demand. In order to

protect linen weaving in France, the only means
would be to limit the quantity of importations from
Belgium. Let an average be taken of the importa-
tion of the last twelve years, and whenever the impor-
tion of the year from Belgium surpasses that quan-
tity, let the duty be increased. It is to be hoped,
that if the Ministry do not adopt this measure, the
Chambei' of Deputies will; when it comes to examine
the treaty.—C'onstitutionnel.

POREXGIi.

M. Cohen, the translator of the Bible into French,
and editor of the Archives of the Jews in France,"
has written to the Gazette de Tribunaux, stating
that, from his knowledge of the sentiments of his
brethren, he can affirm that if Deutz, the person who
betrayed the Duchess de Berri, had applied to any of
those who knew who and what he was, he would
have been rejected with contempt, as his conduct was
held in horror mid detestation by them all.
On Friday night Fecamp was visited by a tempest;
the rain fell in such torrents as to interrupt all the
communications. In the lower part of the town the
waters rose to the first story, and it was said that
several persons were drowned.

The :Journal de Rouen says, that at Etretal the in-
undation was general.. More than 200 houses are
under water, and several have fallen down. A great
many families were in danger of .perishing, but hap-
pily people from the country came with their boats,
and saved them. Four women, however, were
drowned in their own houses, and it is feared that
others have lost their lives.

The Academy of the Beaux Arts on Saturday
awarded the prizes for the annual contours of paint-
ing. The first was given to M. Francois,Eloi 131en-
nourry, of Bar-sur-Aube, aged 19, pupil of M.
Drolling; and the second to M. Louis Duveau, of
St. Malo, aged 24, pupil of M. Cogniet. An honour-
able mention was made of M. Felix Barrios, of Paris,
aged 20, pupil of M. Cogniet. The subject proposed
for competition this year was " Samuel crowning
young David as King in place of Saul."
The Government has issued, through the Ministry
of the Home Department, orders to ibllow up prose-
cutions against those engaged in the recent fatal duel
at Cadiz. Both the Home Minister, Solanot, and the
Minister of Justice, Zumalacarregui, have sent cir-
culars to all the chiefs in their respective departments,
desiring that they shall not imitate the conduct of the
late unfortunate Gefe Politico of Cadiz, in entering
into controversies with the conductors of the public
Press; but in all cases which may appear to them to
require explanation, to write directly to their supe-
riors at Madrid.

The Mercury of Franconia mentions from Berlin a
report that the budget of Prussia is about to be re-
duced 1,500,000 dollars, and that this amount, instead
of being deducted from the taxes, will be reserved for
the purpose of encouraging the construction of rail-
roads by guaranteeing a minimum of iaterest to the
shareholders in such undertakings.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 221, has an article
from St. Petersburg of the 10th, which states that—
" According to the principles of the ukase of the 6th
of January, all the estates belonging to the Greek
and Roman Catholic clergy in the western govern-
ments of the empire, are placed under the manage-
ment of the Minister of the domains of the empire. '

A Commission was formed, about three weeks
since, by order of the Spanish Government, to con-
sider the means of rendering available to the State,
for the reconstruction of its navy, the valua'ile oak
timber of the Royal forests of Santander, Galicia,
&c. The project was submitted, on the part of a
British Company, by a Mr. Henry INlisley, and pro-
gress will soon be reported. If followed up, Spain
may again expect to see an Armada on the waters.

]CONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE.

To-morrow the adjourned meeting of Proprietors
of the Royal West India Mail Steam-packet Company
will take place, when the plans and future operations
will be displayed, and a remodelling of their entire
system of action canvassed.

The mines of Russia yield as much gold as
rest of Europe. The yearly produce of this metal is
16,000 pounds. This weight of gold has this year
been sufficient to load from 40 to 50 sledges ; the
silver from 120 to 150 sledges ; and the copper sets in
motion 5,000 sledges.

EGCLMSXASTICAL.
The emoluments attached to the Deanery of West-
minster have been stated as more considerable than
those derived from a Bishopric. A recent Act of Par-
liament, however, has vastly reduced the former
princely income, and it is now litnited to 3,000/. per
annum.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 27.

IN RE ABRAHAM MAT.

The insolvent in this case had carried on business
at Colchester as an ironmonger. It appeared that 11;3
brother had caused execution to be issued against all
his goods and stock•in-trade. After being subjected
to a long and searching examination,' thin person
stated that he had been insolvent himself some time
back in consequence of his advances to his brother,
and that the property when sold did not realise above
one half its value.

The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said it was for-
tunate for the in3olvent that none of the creditors
came forward in opposition ; for if such were the case
a remand would be certainly inflicted. As it was the
Court would order him to be discharged.

IN RE I. L. DAVEY.
The insolvent held a situation in tha Phoenix Fire
Assurance office at Canterbury, and after some in •
vostiption, the case was ordered to stand adjourned
till Iriday next.

James Neill, a master chimney-sweeper, appeared
at Clerkenwell yesterday, charged w ith causing Ed-
ward Taylor, a boy under twenty-one years of age, in
his employ, to enter a flue for the purpOse of cleaning

machine, but having found it ineffectual had employed
the boy to examine the flue. The Magistrate ob-

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly match-
less ALIIATA PLATE. C. WATSON ('ate A LDER-
M A N), Nov. 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and No. 16, NOR-
TON POLG ATE, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardnes,
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does,
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixedmetals
entirely extracted—resistng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver;
and is manufactured into every article for the 'fable and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different. from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is dali
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked thi
progress of sass New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

DOVER JUSTICES.--Our Justices have received a
long letter from the Secretary of State for the Home
Department on the subject of the late "hair-crop •
pine disc, in which he desires that his " marked dis-
approbation of the jailer's conduct in that aft'air should
be,conveyed to him by the Justices." This unplea-
sant task was yesterday (Friday) performed by the
visiting Magistrates reading Sir James Graham's let-
ter to the jailer. We cannot conceive a greater hu-
miliation than it must have been to the Justices to be
made the medium of communicating to the jailer this
censure of conduct which, in their gravity and wis-
dom, they had so recently fully approved ; and what
a farce the jailer must have thought it, that he should
now have a sentence of condemnation read to him by
the MagistrateS, some of Whom so lately declared him
fully justifiable.—Dover Chronicle.

LATEST FROM TEXAS.

The steam-packet Neptune, Captain Rollins, 33 hours
from Galveston, arrived last evening.
Congress adjourned on the sth instant. The
Galveston Civilian states that that body, after having
maturely considered the subject, deemed it unadvisable
to take measures for the invasion of Mexico► at this time,
and left the navy, under the law of 1840, at the dispo-
sition of the President.

General Hamilton's proposition was declined, and
although his mission has terminated, no report of his
action under it has been submitted. Some money was
obtained, but the precise amount, or upon what terms,
have never been made public. He designs making a
statement through the public prints.
Twenty thousand dollars have been placed at the dis-
posal of the Executive for the defence of the frontier.

- The Bill for the removal' of the seat of Government,
was lost in the House by a vote of 23 ayes to 16 n•es.
The Bill provid.ing for funding the old liabilities of the
Government had been vetoed by the President, and his
veto was sustained by Congress.
Congress had passed a resolution extending the limits
of Texas from the mouth of the Rio Grande to the Pa-
cific Ocean, and along the coast fifteen miles in the sea,
to the Oregon territory, so as to include the Californias
in the territory of the Republic.
Dr. Ashbel Smith has been appointed Minister to
France ; W. 11. Dangerfield, Secretary of the Treasury;
P. Edmunds, Consul at New Orleans ; Henri Castro,
Consul• General to France ; William Kennedy, Consul-
General to Great Britain.

The new Exchequer money is selling at a premium of
three per cent.
Mr. Navaro, who lately left San Antonio to endeavour
to procure the liberation of his brother, taken at Santa
Fe, was seized soon after crossing the Rio Grande,
robbed, and imprisoned by the Mexican authorities.
At a meeting held at Galveston, the following resolu-
tion were adopted :
" Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting it is
expedient for the Executive to acquiesce in measures for
offensive war against Mexico.
" Resolved, That a Committee of nine be appointed to
correspond with the Executive, and recommend the fol-
lowing measures for immediate war :

" I: That our navy be instructed to molest the com-
merce of Mexico on the high seas, to ravage the towns
and country on the coasts.
" 2. That commissions be granted to private armed
es: As, under the flag and authority of Texas, to do the
same.

" 3.' That invitation and encouragement be 'given to
volunteers from abroad to come under our flag, and join
with an army in the invasion of Mexico.—New Orleans

MARCH 24.

Mr. ANDREWS, at the sitting of the Court, addressed
the Jury for the defendant at great length, vitiating the
evidence adduced against his client, whom he repre-
sented as having been the victim of persecution, and is
having'been harassed by a conspiracy, in order to trump
up a charge of bribery, as a means of throwing discredit
upon the party to which he belonged.
The ArroaNEY-GENERAL having replied,
The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the evidence on both
sides to the Jury, who retired to deliberate upon their
verdict, and, after an absence of nearly five hours, re-
turned with a verdict of Guilty on the counts regarding
the bribe to Smith, and Not Guilty as to the other
charge.
