INDIA. I Political intelligence, per Bombay." from Bombay, ar- rived at Suez at 1.30 p.m April the 9th, 1859. There is no longer any war in India. The rebel armies have been broken and dispersed. Their leaders are fugitives in the jungle. Tantia Topee, the Rao Sahib, the Begum, and Nana are still at large. The rebels are in great numbers in Nepaul; but Jung Bahadoor has sent troops into the jungle to rout them out The followers of the Begum and Nana are about 8,000. Brigadier Kelly is watching their movements. Oude continues tranquil. A great number of the rebels have surrendered. The Nawab of Furruckabad has been found guilty and sentenced to death Great excitement prevails in Bombay and Calcutta in con- sequence of the new Customs' tariff. INDIA OFFICE DISPATCH I The rebels are scattered into three parties-under Feroze Shah, not far from Bursad, on the Agra and Bombay road another with the Rao Sahib, in the Shaghur district; and the third with Tanti Topee, who is said to be at present in the Chumbul and Parone jungle. Maun Singh is near him. The following rebels have surrendered Dithun Lall, Bhema Naik, Abdool Sutar Khan, styled Nuwab of Powrah," and Nuwab Khan Ali Khan of Nanmia; the latter has given himself up to the Rajah of Bikaneer. An attempt was made by a Hindostanee armed with a carbine on the life of the Resident when returning from the Dunbar on the 1.5th inst. (March). The ball wounded one of the Ministers who was walking with Colonel Davidson. The aasassin was immediately cut down. The Resident believes that there was no accomplice in the attempt. Bombay Presidency quiet.

THE CORN TRADE. 11I COBN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LAXE, April 20. A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale in to- day's market. The demand for all kinds ruled steady, but far from active, at Monday's improvement in value. The general condition of the samples was good. Fine foreign wheats commanded rather more attention at extreme rates, but inferior parcels were a slow inquiry. The barley trade ruled firm, at full currencies but malt moved off slowly at previous quotations. There was a fair demand for most kinds of oats, at pre- vious rates. Beans moved off freely but oeans were much neglected. The flour trade was ifrm, In prices, however, no change took place. ARRIVALS. I Englhh. Irish.

BRISTOL BANKRUPTCY COURT. On Monday, before Mr. Commissioner Hill-Re Young i and Sons, Neath, millers, e. -Ex pare the Glamorganshire Bunking Cotnpany. -,His Honour delivered the following judgment in this matter.—This was a motion by the Glamorganshire Banking Company to take an account of the amount due for principal, interest and costs from Wm. Weston Young, and from the firm of the said William Weston Young, Joseph Weston Young, and Company on their securities upon certain separate property of the said William Weston Youug, and that the said property might be vulued and sold to pay off the charges thus created, on behalf of the said Banking Company and also for other subsidiary arrangements to be made, as set forth in the notice. In support of the motion an affidavid of Mr. Row- lands, one of the partners in the Bank, and one of its Registered Officers, was filed, and the evidence was taken viva voce of Joseph Weston Young one of the Bankrupts. It appeared that up to the 1st of January, 1854, William Weston Young, the father of the two other bankrupts, carried on the trade of corn, flour and provision merchant, at Neath, and that from that time to the bankruptcy in March, 1858, he continued the same business in co-partner- ship with his two sons. That at the commencement of the partnership, the father was indebted to the company in a large sum on his banking account, and that the firm re- ceived advances from time to time, whereby it also became largely indebted. In (September, 1857, an account was stated between the parties by which it appeared that Wm. Weston Young owed the bank the sum of E-5566 10s. 6,1., to which amounts the bank claims arf addition in respect of arrears of interest up to the bankruptcy. These accounts were at the first hearing disputed by the assignees on the ground of usury, and again, that the securities had been satisfied by payments made from time to time after the mortgages had been effected, and they objected also on other grounds. The registrar having been charged by the order of the court made on the account of the parties to investigate the acount reported in February last, when it appeared that the accounts were accurate as to figures, and no further objection having been made, the only points to be disposed of with reference to the amounts due, or the alle- gations as to usury and as to the satisfaction of the securities by payments. The objection of usury arose on the following facts:-The father while his debt to the bank was accruing, and before the total repeal of the usury laws in August, 1854, had, by assenting to the course of dealing between the bank and himself, agreed to pay more than five per cent, interest upon his banking account, which account was secured on an equitable mortgage of land, such mortgage being one of the securities which form the aggregate charge now sought to be enforced. Such a transaction, it is clear, did at the time it was made, bring the bank within the disabi- lities attached to an usurious contract But the company relies on what took I lace in September, 1857, when the accounts being* adjusted, a memorandum of agreement was made between itself and William Watson Young, by which he agreed that his debt, and that due from the firm, should stand secured by all the various securities, which it is the object of the motion to realize. As part of the arrange- ment, promissory notes were given by William Weston Young, and by the firm, for their respective debts, such memorandum and such notes having been promised to the banking company a short time previously, as an inducement for an advance to the firm of XI-500, which sum is an item of the partnership debt before-mentioned. It was contend- ed that the usurious interest was thus rendered lawful by an agreement to pay it, made subsequently to the repeal of the usury laws. The authorities on this question are nei- ther numerous nor precisely in point, but they contain nothing adverse to the view which I am about take. The repeal of the statutes relating to usury abrogated them for all purposes except as to acts done while such statutes were in force, which left unaffected by reaaon of the saying clause 17 and 18 Vic. c. 90, 9 2. But under the circumstance of this case it appears to me that the saving clause has no operation, and that the repeal is complete. The agree- ment must, I think have the same construction as if it had contained a stipulation to the effect that, the advance of the £ 1500 was to be considered as made on the condition, that, a sum equal to what the bank would have lost by the dis- abilities which the usury laws had imposed should be added to the debt. If the bank were driven to the original agree- ment, then the usury laws, though now repealed, would be still in vigour as regarded such agreement. But I think we must look alone at the contract of 1857, entered into at a period when the law had ceased to limit the rate of interest, and if the fair construction of that agreement is that the debtor then consented to look upon the sum in dispute as part of his debt, and if tho bank advanced the L1500 upon that footing, it is not necessary to go back to the agreement evidenced by the course of dealing up to 1854. Now, in my opinion, the course of the transaction and the documents which make part of the arrangement show conclusively that such was the contract which the parties intended to make. The objection, therefore, that the debt is tainted with usury cannot be sustained. With regard to the second objection, namely, that the securities are satisfied by monies paid into the Bank since the month of September, 1857—in the first place it is to be observed that this objection does not apply to the father's debt but only to that of the firm, and in the next place that it distinctly appears by the affidavit of Mr. Rowland, first, that it was part of the verbal agreement though not incorporated into the memorandum, that the securities should apply as well to future advances as to the amount standing to the debit of the firm in September, 1857. And again, that all subsequent payments were specifically appropriated by the firm to particular purposes, and wer-, not made in diminution of this debt. I think both these answers to the objections are valid, but with regard to the second, the facts as stated by Mr. Rowland not having been contradicted or explained away, appear to me conclusive. Ttie result then at which the court has arrived is, that the amounts already stated are respectively due from William Weston Young and the firm, and that they are secured upon all the mortgages in question. It now only remains to in- quire whether the bank is entitled to the benefit of certain fixtures attached to a portion of the morgaged property. As to the whole of these fixtures the claim of the bank is resisted, on the ground that they remained in the order and disposition of the bankrupts as reputed owners down to the bankruptcy, and therefore pass to the assignees On this point, however, the authorities are all clear and all one way, —that the rule as to reputed ownership does not apply to fixtures, Expte, Searth, 1 M., D. & De G. 240. Expte. Cot- ton, 2 M., D. & Dc G., 725, Expte. Barclay, 26 Law Journal Bankruptcy 1. Whitmore v. Empson, 23 Beaven 313. It is further objected on behalf of the .assignees, that registration of the document, purporting to pass the fixtures, was requisite, to bar the title of the assignees; but registration is only required of bills of sale, or of documen's which, by the statute 17 and 18 Vic., c. 38 § 7, are made equivalent to bills of sale. That the memorandum is not such a document is clear upon the face of it but if any doubt could exist, it would be removed by comparing the case of Matber v. FraBer, 25 laic Journal, c. 361, decided by Vice Chancellor Wood in which registration was deemed not requisite, with that of Waterfall v. Puntstone, 26 L. J., 2 B., 100, which, while deciding that in that case registration was requisite, still adopted the view of the Vice Chancellor, but distin- guished the two cases by criteria, which clearly show that the case now before the court ranges itself under Mather v. Fraser, and not under Waterfall v. Pennistone. It is further contended on the part of the assignees, that the father had before the date of the memorandum, transferred his interest in the fixtures to the firm, which firm had added out of the partnership funds to their number. With regard to the first of the two facts alleged, it appears by the evidence of Joseph Weston Young that the machinery was taken to by the partnership, and entered in the stock-book as belonging to the firm. That such a transfer would be valid as to movab'es may be conceded, but that it is sufficient to sever the titlo to fixed machinery from the freehold may well be doubted. The claim of the Bank, however, may I think be safely rested on the ground that the memorandum was entered into for the benefit of the firm by the father, with the knowledge of Joseph, to whom, with the father, the financial conduct of the concern it appears was confided. Thus we have a constructive consent by all the partners to a mortgage of the fixtures to the Bank. The firm, therefore, could never have set up its own title as against the Bankj such a claim being fraudulent, and therefore invalid, But this estoppal de- scends upon theassignes, wfcoie right does not extend beyond that of the bankrupts. Ihen with regard to the second fact, it appears that the new fixtures were added previously to the memorandum, and were equally bound by the assent of the partnership. I am therefore of opinion that this objection cannot prevail in either of its branohes. The remaining objection relates to certain fixtures which had belonged to the father, together with a former partner of the name of Allen. These, it is alleged, did not pass by the memorandum, Young and Allen having previously morl- gaged them to Messrs. Cook and Jones. But these latter gentlemen not being before the court, the only question material to be considered in this proceeding is whether the objection raises any question in which the assignees have an interest. And I cannot see that it does, because if such fixtures do not belong to the Bank they belong to Cook and Jones, and in either alternative the claim of the assignees equally fails. I have now disposed of the numerous ques- tions raised by the ingenuity of counsel, and have decided tbe-n all in favour of the Glamorganshire Banking Cooap- pany. Upon the argument it was agreed that if such should be the result arrived at, an order of valuation and sale in the terms of the notice should be made, but that the pro- ceeds should be held subject to further order as to appropria- tion. And this is the judgment which the court pronounces. It will a lso be convenient that the question of costs should stand over until the case is finally disposed of Re Robert Wells, Bristol, Cardiff, and NStoport, teadealer. -This was an adjourned last examination meeting. Mr. Henderson, for the assignees, said an adjournment was taken on the last occasion to enable the bankrupt to make an arrangement with his creditors. Application had been made for that purpose to the collective body and they had unanimously fallen into the proposed arrangements with one exception. That creditor was represented there that day and the court would be asked to grant a further adjourn- ment with a peremptory order on the bankrupt to file a balance sheet. The assignees did not object to this course. Mr. Stubbs, who represented the dissenting creditor, said that bia client would never come into the proposed arrange- ment, and he was therefore anxious that the balance-sbeet should be filed immediately. An adjournment for a month accordingly took place. On I ueidy, Re Jonal, Jenkins Z?A?M, boot and ?o<  was a sitting for last examination. stated that a very full balance-abeet had been filed, and he had no observations to make upon the accounts.

OFFICES 36, CANNON STREET, LONDON, E.C. rpiIE object of this Company is to extend tho working of JL the Handilo Lead and Zinc M nes, in the County of Carmarthen, and to explore the various Lodes existing in the Sett. The Sett, which is extensive, is held under Lease from A. J. Gulston, Esq, at 1 -16th Royalty, for 21 Years, of which 19 remain unexpired. This Mine is situate close to the improving town of Llan- dilo, and within 100 yards of the Llandilo Station of the L'tanelly and Llandilo Dock and Railway Company, a branch of which Line runs within a few yards of the Shaft now being sunk. It is believed that various other Lodrs exist in this which are likely to prove as rich and productive as that which is now being go successfully worked. The Mine has been carefully examined and surveyed bv various competent Mineral Agents, who have reported on it in the most favourable terms, as will be perceived from the subjoined reports. This Mine being situate in a well-known mineral district, and so closely contiguous to the Railway, affords advantages and facilities rarely to be met with, and .offers to Share- holders every guarantee of a safe and remunerative invest- ment. The Company will be formed in 10,000 Shares of £1 each, under the Limited Liability Act, whereby the liability of each Shareholder is limited to the amount of his Shares. It is calculated that a Call of 5s. per Share will be suffi- cient for the first 12 months, and will enable the Proprietors to complete the necessary preliminary Works, and get the Mine into a good working condition. A considerable sum has already been expended upon this I property, and the Company have arranged with the present Lessee for the tran-fer to them of his entire interest in the same for the sum of £2,000; and he has further consented to take in payment 1,700 Shares in the said Company, and the balance of JS300 in cash. A considerable portion of the Shares are already taken, and so soon as the whole have been subscribed for, the Com- pany will be duly registered under the Limited Liability Act, and all necessary arrangements carried into effect. London, 36, Cannon Street, December 27, 1858. GENTLEMEN, "In accorùance with your instructions, I, on the 22nd i. nstant. left London for South Wales, and on the following day visited and inspected the Llandilo Mine, in the imme- diate vicinity of the Town of that name. tht the Sett, of which a gmnt for 21 years, at I-16th Royalty, has been taken, and of which 19 remain unexpired, commences at the Western extremity of a Quarry about 100 yards East of the Town, and extends nearly three- fourths of a mile on the course of the principal Lode. Its mean width may be taken at 300 fathoms. "At a point about 100 yards North-east of the Railway Station, a Level has been extended into the Hill in a Westerly direction for a total distance of one hundred and forty fathoms. In this Adit, the Lode was intersected about thirty fathoms from its commencement, and the workings subse- quently continued, for the most part, on the course of the Lode itself. The run of the Vein, which is composed of Blende, Carbonate of Lime, White Quarts, and Floocan, is 25 De- grees North of East, and its dip, or underlie, North of East. Its width varies from 10 inches to nearly 5 feet, and several excellent Shoots of Zinc Ore have been laid open by the Drivagc of the Adit Level. At the Eastern extremity of the Quarry before mentioned, a Shaft, seven fathoms in depth, has been communicated with the Level beneath, and by means of this the Ventilation of the Workings has been effected. "At a distance of four fathoms East of this Shaft is a Shoot of Blende, slightly spotted with Lead Ore, nearly three feet in thickness, and which appears to be dipping West. A few fathoms to the East of this point, a Winze has been sunk to the depth of ten fathoms, but this being, at the time of my visit, full of water, I was unable to examine the Lode below the Adit Level. A Drivage, six fathoms in length, is stated to have been made from the bottom of thi* Winze, and Captain Kurnick, who inspected the mine when these work- ings were accessible, remarks that the Lode was about the same size as at the Adit Level, and was mastering the strati- fication of the rock, which bad become more compact. The whole of the Eastern portion of the Sett appears to be composed of Silurian Shale, whilst at the Western ex- tremity Limestone makes its appearance in the vicinity of the air-shaft, and from thence extends for a considerable distance Westward, but in both these formations the Lode has been found to be productive for Zinc Ores. From the appearance of the Lode at the present Shallow level, there can be no doubt that this property will be highly productive of Blende of excellent quality, whilst it at the same time attords indications which render it extremely pro- bable that it will make Lead Ore in depth. "With a view to the further development of this pro- perty, I would recommend that an Engine-shaft should be sunk to the East of the Road from the Railway Station to Llandilo, in such a way as to intersect the main Lode at a depth of about forty fathoms from the surface, and that the Vein should be explored, by means of levels and cross-cuts from this Shaft in the usual way. On reaching the ten- f.?tbom level, I would propose that a cr?ss-cut be extended Notth and South, for the purpose of intersecting parallel Lodes, should any exist, whilst the Levels on the course of the main Lode would, at the same time, be pushed on, and preparations made for Stoping the Ore existing between the Adit and ten-fathom Level. For the purpose of Drainage and Crushing the Ores, I would advise the erection of a high-pressure horizontal Steam-Engine, which could be employed for winding and crushing, when the fixing of more powerful pumping ma- chinery becomes necessary. In conclusion, I would remark that the ground in the Adit Level is favourable for drivage, and enerally stands without timber, and that in addition to considerable quanti- ties of Blende, which at the present time admit of being removed by Stoping from the backs, a large amount will doubtless be rendered available on the extension of tbe Ten- fathom Level. The immediate proximity of the Railway Station to the Workings, and the circumstance of the Dressing-floors being traversed by a Branch Line, afford the greatest facilities for the supply of materials, and the remo- val of the produce of the Mine to the Ports of Llanelly and Swansea, where the Ores are smelied. It may further be added, that Coal can be procured at about 10s. per Ton, and that a sufficient supply of water for all dressing purposes may tie readily obtained. II Under these circumstances, I am of opinion that the property presents advantages of no ordinary character, and that by the expenditure of a moderate capital, and with careful and judicious management, the ground might be speedily and effectually proved. The sinking of the Engine- Shaft to the Forty-fathom Level would probably be accom- plished within two years from the time of starting, whilst the sum required fur effectually proving the Mine, and pro- viding all the necessary pumping, winding, crushing, and dressing apparatus, would, there is every reason to believe, be within £8,000. It must als,) be remembered that, on reaching the Ten-fathom Level, large quantities of Blende will doubtless become available, and that the sales of this Ore may be expected to afford considerable monthly returns. I am, Gentlemen. Your obedient Servant, "J. ARTHUR PHILLIPS. Messrs. Blakeley & Stone, "Barge Yard, Bucklersbury." Capt. John Karnick, from the Carsarah Mines, inspected the Mine on the 1st Oct., 1857, and reports as follows .— At those Works a Level has been driven Westward, about 30 fathoms, where it intersects a Lode, which is from 12 inches to 4 feet wide, and composed of Zinc, soft White Quartz, and Hucen The Level is extended Westward on this Load about 60 fathoms, and in doing this work, several good shoots or branches of Zinc Ore have been discovered About lo fathoms East of tbe extreme driving on the Lode, a Shaft is sunk from surface, which has ventilated all points of peration). 4 fathom. East of this Shaft there is a splendid Shoot of Zinc Ore, 3 feet wide, with spots of Lead in places, but no Branch of Lead regularly defined. The ground at this point is very favourable for stopping. The Shoot of Ore at this point is d.pping West. About 3 fat£ homs East of this Sho.t of Ore, a Winze is sunk 10 fathoms, inteisecting the L'lde 3 fathoms, from the bottom of the said Winze. The Lode is also cut at the 10 fathom Level, where it is much the same as to size and quali'y as it is at the Adit Level. The driving on the course of the ) Lode at the 10 fathom Level is about 6 fathoms, the ground getting more compact, and the Lode mastering the general Strata. I would recommend driving the 10 fathom Level East- ward on the Lode, and also to keep 2 men tll drive the Adit Westward on the Lode. I name these points, as they are likely to throw hht on the proper position for fixing the llauts and Machinery for luture working. "There can be no doubt but vast quantities of Zinc will be raised in this Mine; and if the Purchasers of this mineral uuie lair and catuiid like other smelters, the Mine would pay well oJ KelllUg th" Ore every month but I have known for 30 years that no party is safe to depend on the Zinc for a market 101 Zinc in the shape of mineral. With rcspect to the prospect for Lead, this is more of a speculation, The Loiie utiorua spois of Lead in places, but not branches of Lead. The Strata in which the Lode i- embedded, is very congenial, and very similar to the ground in the productive Mines of Cardigan, where these Lead Lodes generally produce Ziuc on the backs, and from 10 to 20 fathoms below. "I would suggest that if you erect a small Engine foi" crushing the Zinc, that you avail of this as a Draft-Eugine to sink go as to see the Lode 30 fathoms below your present workings, where it is more than probable that result at that depth, as to returns of Zinc and Lead, will afford lasting profits to the Shareholders. The work completed in this Mine in siking, driving, timber works, tram-roads, &c., &c., is done in a mining-like manner.
