afterwards to unite themselves to the army of Lucerne and
of the small cantons. The Argovian militia disorganised, in

The case of Connell and Gandy, which was tried at Liver-
pool, is one of considerable importance to the commercial
world. It was an action brought by a depositor in the Isle
of Man Bank against the defendant, who was represented tat
have been a shareholder in the bank at the time it stopped'
payment. The bank was not formed under the provisions of
any Act of Parliament. The defence was that the COIDIOMM
law of partnership did not apply to joint-stock companies,
and that Mr. Gandy having ceased to be a share—
holder in 1840, although the fact of his retirement
was not publicly gazetted, had ceased to be liable.
The jury, however, under the direction of the Judge, found
for the plaintiffi. His Lordship, in the course of his summing
up, said that there was no legal difference between a firm of
six and one of 600 persons, and that the person who held
himself forth to the public a partner in such a firm was bound
to make the fact of his retirement public also, in order to re-
lease himself from his liability. There were several actions
of a similar nature in which a similar verdict was taksto, and
these concluded the assizes.

On Sunday, a sermon in aid of the funds of the City Dispen-
sary, which was established in the year 1789, fur the relief of
the sick and diseased poor of the Metropolis, was preached in
the church of the united parishes of St. Mary-at-hill and St.
Andrew Hubbard, Little Tower-street, by the Rev. James

Sunday two sermons were preached in the chapel of the
Scottish Hospital, Fleur-de-Lis-court, Fetter-lane, before a
numerous congregation, the principal portion of whom were
both deaf anfilumb. It may appear somewhat paradoxical
that persons so afflicted should be enabled to attend divine
worship in congregation with their more favoured brethren
who enjoy the faculties of hearing and speech. The ser-
vice, however, is rendered intelligible to the deaf and dumb
portion of the congregation by a gentleman who is well
conversant with the sigps by which those so afflicted com-
municate together ; and as the clergymen proceeds with
his discourse, he, standing in a prominent situation facing
the afflicted, interprets it by those signs. These services
are established under the auspices of the Society for the re-
lid of the adult destitute portion of the deaf and dumb com-
munity.

On Sunday morning, about eleven o'clock, a gentleman's
carriage was proceeding at a rapid pace in the direction of the
Haymarket, when near the corner of Windmill-street the
near fore wheel came oil'. From the quickness of the pace
and the sharp shock occasioned by the axle falling on the
ground, the coachman lost his seat, and was thrown with
great violence. The horses were at once seized by some
passers by, and the owner of the carriage and his lady
alighted, perfectly uninjured, but greatly alarmed. The
coachman was taken into Mr. Hutchinson's, a surgeon, who
paid him every attention, and after a short time he was so
far recovered that he returned home.
The Glasgow, Paisley, and Ayr Railway, at a special meet-
ing on Wednesday, the 2d inst., determined upon extending
the (7ompany's railway from Ayr to Loch Ryan, and of form-
ing certain other lines for the accomodation of the interior of
Ayrshire.
