Actual occupation during the month, for the rent of which the action is brought, with an ‘understanding between the parties that the rent should be at a certain rate per month, is sufficient to enable the plaintiff to recover for the month’s rent at that rate. Wall vs. House —Dary, J.—A promise by the de- fendant to pay a bill which was presented to him for $77 37, which referred to that amount as the amount of bill rendered for bread, was a recognition that an indebtedness existed to that amount, and the evi- dence was sufficient, prima facie, to entitle the re- spondent to recover.

From evidence, it appears that in the month of November, 1861, Mrs. Rowland applied at an_ inte! { for a domestic, and that a called Mary Jones | made ap; tion for and obi the situation—that | she with Mrs. Rowland only a few hours, when | she disap; taking with her some valuable articles | of jewelry; that immediate but unavailing search was | for the thief.

In éefence to the Action, the defendants proved that there was a very strong resemblance between the person herself Mary Jones and the plaintiff. This fact was testified to by the keeper of the intelligence office, the clerk of the pawnbroker who received in some ' rt ee sEREKE He 3 : of the property stolen, and by every person living in the Seum oeet o008 by the tenant come of the wit | messes going so far as to say that they still believed the | woman called Mary Jones and the plaintiff, Mrs. Mason, orn eed, et-povl x i the tof Mi ‘or malice on the par! ire.

It is also well paitiea ta thac tuavee that the acquittal of en an of cause (Scott vs. Simpson 1 Sand. Rep. 601 ; ys. Ed 4 Wend 565). No action lies against a party for 8 prosecution merely because there was not sufficient ground for the accusation. (10 John. 106 ; 71Cowen 716). The question, —What is probable cause ?— in anawered by the Court in 2 Denio 617, where it is de- fined tobe ‘‘a reasoua>le ground of suspicion supported by circumstances sufficiently strong in themselves to Warrant a cautious man in the belief that the person | accused is ity of the crime with which he is charged. In there not in this case that reasonable ground of sus- | Picton, backed by the circumstances referred to? The Sefendaat is robbed—she meets s person in the street who she firmly believes to be the thief—nor is she alone in the belief, but every persen who had the opportunity of seeing the person who perpetrated the felony concurs in the statement that there isa very resemblance,and some of them still insist that they are one and the same . Tam most Wecidedly of the opinion that there | ap eall in the arrest and prosecution of the unfortu- nate plaintiff, a most lamentablo mistake. Of her entire innocence of the crime of larceny, or any like offence Thave not the slightest doubt; but even a mistake will not sustain an for false imprisonment. (Burlin- fame vs. Burlinghme, 8Cow. 14.) | From motives of pab- ic policy @ person making accusations for criminal of fences is from annoyance by suits when there ia reasonable ground for the accusation; in other words, if an action is commencedg unless the party proves that there was an utter want of probable cause, and contequently malice on the part of the accuser, the action must fail. Many ard, question the oqnity of this stern rule; but the law of this State ig fived on this subject, leaving me no discretion, and must be enforced | Alllaws of general utility in some cases bear harshly on | individuals, yet this must not interfere with a proper en- | forcement of the principle. A great hardship an? wroni have been sustained by the plaintiff. She has submitted to the annoyanee and ignominy of incarcerati: expense incident to ion, and the trial on a charge for ficay. Im- | mored in a cell, her infant shared her confinement. Sho have suffered the infamy which always attaches to a crim. inal accuration, and which oan never be removed entirely, even by the verdiet of acquittal at the hands of a jury of her country. While affirming in the most positive terms my belief in her innocence, I am compelled, in en- forcing the stern and inflexible principles established by a long series of decisions of the Supreme Court, to order judgment for the defendants, with costs to be taxed. ‘m.

The in dence certain letters addressed him by various officials in the employ of the company, in which the plaintiff was addres as superintendent; that there were two gangs of track layers at Ahorca each of which had a foreman, who received their orders from plaintiff; that there was @ gravel train at that station, under the aoe et a conductor, who also received directions from tiff. Judge Phillips —The plaintiff was bound, by the terms of his contract, to serve the defendants as ‘‘foreman of tracklayers, and to work in any capaci fi Hi ; ry therewith to which he might be appointed.’’ The weight of proof is that the plaintiff did occupy the position, and perform the duties of ‘superintendent of station.’’ The only question of importance to be decided in this matter is, whether the plaintiff is bound by the rate of compen. sation as fixed by Col. Totten. The memorandum at the foot of the contract, fixing the pay, bears no date. Col. Totten does say that he fixed the pay of plaintiff at $2 50 per day, as tub-foreman,”” and that ‘when he (Colonel tven) came to this city, he again fixed that rate, at the request of the secretary of the company. But it is also in evidence that when plaintiff applied for his wages at Panama, he was then informed that his rate of pay bad not yet ‘been fixed.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Morpay, June 5—6 P, M. With about the usual amount of transactions, prices Were not sustained at the firet board today, All the leading fancies sold freely at our quotations. New ‘York Central Railroad bonds declined i per cent; Par ker Vein, 9; New York Central Railroad, 34; Erie Rail- road, \; Reading Railroad, {. Harlem advanced % per cent, but only one small lot was sold. The market geno- rally in in a bad way. All the indications are in favor of lower prices in tho leading speculative stocks, with per- haps two or three exceptions: Coal companies In active operation must be excepted, and Nicaragua Transit can also be placed in the same position. Railroad stocks we have no faith in, and we cannot point out one on the list that is not selling for moro than it ia worth, or at higher prices than they wili command twelve months hence. The New York Central Company is out with o begging circular, in whieh the finances, and earnings present and prospective, are placed ina very favorable light. The ob Joct of all this is to raise the company’s credit so aa to put off n large amount of bonds, at the highest price. The old issue of bonds by this company is selling at a discount of fourteen per cent, and the probability is that the new issue will not be received with any more favor. The stock sold 40-day at a premium of two and @ haif per cent. The difference between the price of the bonds andof the stock in the market is so great that it is somewhat strange that the management do not permit the satock- holders to subsorite for convertible bonds, subject to immediate conversion, inasmuch as any bond converted into stock would not only reduce the indebtedness of the company, but would add Increased security to the pre sent creditors. The only objection to this is the depre- ciating effect such an issue would have upon the market value of the stock. The amount of stock already out is about fifteen millions of dollars, and just at this time a great many objections no doubt exist against increasing it. It will be seen by our quotations that Parker Vein bas touched very low pointe. Quite a contest has been going on for some time past between tho ins and the outs, about the approaching election. The outs have been making large urchases, #0 as to get into the management, and the ins have been doing the same to hold on to their places. The prospect at present {s in favor of the ins, and that is the cause of the depression in the market value of the stock. A few daye will settle the question. Erie Railroad was sold largely to-day at a decline. It doos not seem to have many friends at the Stock Exchange, and the bears are steadily driv’ tit. We have noticed occasional sales lately of the stock of the Brunswick City Land Company. It in a long time since we have had much activity in that fancy, and we suppose the sales lately made have something to do with the following announcement, which we take from the Savannah Republican of the let instant: — We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to be pro- fent at the opening of the Brunswick and Altama@ha Ca- nal, which takes place to-day. We learn that ‘boats and flats will be in readiness to leave the lower lock at 10 o'clock, and will pass through the whole length of the canal (twelve miles) eturn in the afternoon. Seve. ral rafts of timber will also pass through the canal from the Altamaha river to the port of Brunswick, at the ne John O'Con- ' same time, and their arriyal will be gnmoyngod by the ‘The New Haven Railroad Company will pase its July dividend, making the third since the Norwalk accident, and the probability is that some time will elapse before dividends will be resumed. The company never have earned any of the dividends which have been paid, and ‘the cost of the read has reached such a point as to almost preckade the possibility of ever doing so. Its capital and bonds amount to between five and six millions of dollars. ‘The lease of the canal road iss total loss. Twenty thou- sand dollars per annum are paid to stop the running of steamboats, without effect. About a quarter of a million of dollars have already been paid for damages and deaths by the Norwalk disaster, and ten of the most aggravated cases yet remain unsettled, demanding one hundred and sixty thousand dollars more. Most of the amount paid on these claims has been charged to construction ac- count, but it has been made an excuse for stopping the payment of dividends which were never earned. The stock of this company is selling at 94 per cent, and its bonds at 92 percent. Its bonds are undoubtedly worth the market price, but its stock is very much inflated in value.

It would be difficult to give a satisfactory reason for this sudden depreciation. The absence of buyers is pro- bably the principal cause.

A single item among the doubtful paper, it is said, was sufficient to absorb the capital paid im by the stock- holders. The earnings of the Milwaukie and Mississippi Railway 500 350 miles of road; those of May, 1854, were upon eighty-five miles during the first twenty days of the month, énd ‘upon 108 miles, including the Janesville branch, during ‘the last ten days. This result is much beyond the anti- cipations of the company, whose estimate for May amounted to only $25,000, a difference of no less than $17,000 in favor of the road. The earnings of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad Company for May were :—Passengers, $72,990 45; freight, &c., $36,208 15—total, $109,269 20.

The in- crease in deposits is accounted for by the change made in the returns, and hereafter the amounts will be more uniform. The decrease in specie was anticipated and must appear quite moderate when we take into consider- ation the large shipments to foreign ports during the week, without any receipts of consequence from any source. We shall have a steamer or two in from Califor- nia sometime this week with a couple of millions or more of gold dust. The shipments from this port will not be very heavy for the next ten days on account of the non- departure of steamers from this port. For sometime past the line of discounts has’been without much varia- tion, and the banks do not appear disposed to contract or expand materially their regular loans. The fluctua- tions are confined principally to the department of call loans, and as we get no returns of that movement, the only guide is the state of the money market from day to day in the street. The following gentlemen were to-day elected directors of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company for the en- suing year :— President—Andrew Mehaffey. Directors—William D. Thompson, Lowell Holbrook, E.

The Chicago Democrat of the 2d inst. gives the follow- ing detailed account of each railroad constructed and in course of construction ‘in the State of Iilinois:— RaRoans oF ILuNow—1854. It is but afew years since Ilinois entered upon the construction of railroads, but, nevertheless, she now makes a fair show even in comparison with the “Empire State.’ Firat, there is the Illinois Central road, which is the most extensive enterprise undertaken in the State. The main trunk extends from Cairo, at the junction of the Ohio and to La Salle, at the head of the Illinois, a dis- 3 tance of ai tance of $10 miles, upon 137 of which the cars are now run- north and . The course of this section is south. The Galena branch, commenci tends in a northwesterly direction to Dunlieth, on’ the Mississippi, opposite Dubuque, 144 miles, upon 51 of which the cars are nowrunning. These two of the Central road pass through twenty-one counties, and quite a number of important towns—among which are Jones- brough, the county seat of Union county; Vandalia, of Fayette; Decatur, of Macon; Clinton of De Witt; Bloom- at La Salle, ex- ington, ‘of McLean; La Salle, La Salle county, but not the county seat; Dixon, Lee, Freeport, Stephenson, Ga- lena, and Jo The northwestern terminus is near the line between Illinois and Wisconsin, and 0} Pe site Dubuque, a eity of 7,000 or 8,000 inhabitants, which bears the same commercial relation to Iowa that Chicago Goes to this State. This road, when completed through, will divert much of the travel and trade from the Mississippi, especially in low stages of water, and during the winter. The distance from Cairo to Dubuque by the Central road is 456 miles. The Chicago branch of the Central road diverges from the main trunk at Centralia, in Marion county, about 112 miles from Cairo, and runs ina northwesterly diree, tion 260 miles to Chicago. Cars are now running 110 miles from Chicago sotth, and the road is soon to be opened to Urbano, in Champaign county, 15 miles farther. It passes through the counties of Marion, Clay, Effingham, Cumberland, Coles, Champaign, Morgan, Wil, Kanka’ kee, and Cook. From 50 miles north of Cairo to the Kankakee is one of the richest (in soil) portions of the State, being between the ‘central backbone” and the valley of the Wabash. On the route are extensive d posits of coal—the counties of Effingham and Clay pecially, being full of this useful mineral, which, in many places, crops out upon the surface, For nearly eighty miles this branch runs in almost « straight line through a prairie, without touching timber. Tis region was almost entirely unsettled, the government being un- able to vel the lands at the minimum price, although | they had been in market many years. The impractica- bility of getting fuel, fencing and building timber, would undoubtedly have prevented nettlement for fifty yearg to come, had not the construction of the railroad been entered ‘upon. By granting the alternate sec- tiope to this object, the government is enabled to sell the balance at double the minimum price, and the State secures a large accession to its population. The Rock Island road, extending from Chicago to Rock Island, on the Mississippi, 160 miles, is completed, and has been in successful operation for some time. From the Towa side (Davenport,) it is to be extended west to Council Bluffs, 208 miles. The Galena ‘and Chicago Union Railroad is completed to Freeport, 121 miles, and has been in operation for several months. At this point it intersects the Central, | having relinquished the route west to the latter com: peny. From Dubuque west there is also to be connec- tion to Council Bluffs, or in that direction. west of Chisago there is the Beloit branch. which is in operation twenty-one miles, to Belvidere. It is proposed | to extend it to Madison, the capital of Wisconsin. There is also a branch to St. Charles, six miles. The Galena Air Line road is to extend from Chicago to Fulton City, on the Mississippi, 185 miles—forty five of which are completed, It diverges from the track of the G. and C. U. Railroad at the Junction, thirty milea west of Chicago. This is to connect west of the Mississippi With the Lyons road, whieh also proposes to reach Coun- | cil Bloffe. The Aurora road extends from Chicago to Mendota, about ninety miles. Its traina now run out on the Gale- pa track, thirty miles to the Junction, thence on a sepa rate track to Mendota, fifty-eight miles, and thence on the Central track sixteen miles, to La Salle. A charter was obtained from the Junction to Chicago last winter, end it is probable that the construction of an indepen: | dent traek will soon be entered upon.

In course of construction. Chicago ani Mississippi extends from Alton to Chicago. Tt is completed and in operation 182 miles from the | southern terminus to Bloomington, passing through Springfield. From Bloomin to Joliet the work is far advanced, and the iron is being laid quite rapidly. Of the Michigan Central there are about eight miles, ‘and of the Michigan Southern about 16 miles in this State. The Great Western. This is completed and in opera- tion from Naples, on the Mlinois river, to Dect county seat of Macon county, about 100 mil through Springfield, and at Decatur crosses It is to be extended east to Lafayette, Ind., 70 miles, and wost from Naples to the Mississippi, at Quinoy, or opposite Hannibel, Mo: ‘he Peoria and Bureau Valley road, 47 miles is in the course of construction. It intersects, on the north, the Reck Island roa, about 15 miles west of La Salle. A | gharter has been obtained, extending this road to the | ssippl avout 100 miles, to a point opposite Hannibal. | the southern part of the State there is quite a num- | ber ef roads projected and ebartéred.
