Tat NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE ENGINE Damns.—Lsst evening another meeting of engine drivers and firemen in the employ of the London gad North- Western Railway Company was held at the Railway Tavern, Mampatead•road. Mr. .I.lliown,an engine driver, having bsen celled to the chair, stated that by appointment a deputation had at that moment (half past ten o'clock) returned from an interview with Mr. McConnell, the chief o f the locomotive department, and one of the directors, and • wish had been expressed on th e p art of the directors that every man should return to his em pl oyment , and that all that had transpired should be buriein oblivion. Under these circumstances- - a further appointment having been made for the deputation to wait oa the authorities at nine o'clock to morrow morn ing—he begged to propane that the meeting stand adjourned until the following evening, out of respect to the directors of the company. A general feeling having been use quiveally manifested to refuse to submit to the clirsification proposed, the proceedings terminated at a late hour. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE PROM LONDON-BRIDGE. — Yesterday morning a female, named Mary Chambers, aged 32 years, attempted self-destruction by leaping from the rtes. pet of London-bridge. Shortly after two o'clock a man who was passing over the bridge suddenly raised an alarm, in consequence of having seen • female jump into the river Two policemen who wore on duty hastened to the spot, and they new the woman struggling to the water near the stone work of the bridge. The officers immediately ran down the steps on the Surrey shore, and having procured a boat rowed to her aid, and after a most desperate struggle they sue. seeded in dragging her into the boat, and the was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. INQIIEST.—THE FIRE IN AMEN-CORNER.—Before Mr. Payee, at Dolly's Tavern, Paternoster Town, re oectiag the origin of the fire at the Rev. Mr. Dale's, Amen- Corner. The evidence of the witnesses went to prove that shortly before twelve o'clock on Monday night, the whole of the inmates were alarmed by • rioting of bell.. Mrs. Dale was unwell, and was on the second-floor front is charge of a night nurse, and it seems that the servant improperly placed the candle on the pillow whiht waiting upon her mistress, when the , :andle slipped and set tire to the bed curtains, and Deur% it was discovered the place was in flames —Toe coroner said it might not be generally known that servants randavad themselves, for carelessness in such axe., liable to a penalty of 1001., or eighteen months' imprisonment.—The yury returned a verdict " That the fire was accidentally mused." IRELAND. DCHLIN, AUGUST 10. There is not a particle of news to-day from the' south. We have had no arrests of the outlawed : we' have heard no more of the highway attacks on coaches or passengers, and there is not a single suggestion in any journal of even a dozen malcontents met togettnr in any offensive attitude. The affair of the two clergymen, of which I spoke yesterday, is now in the public mouth. I may there fore tell you that one is the Rev. Mr. Shell, who has, it is said, fled, and the other the Rev. Mr. Byrne, who though connected with the clubs, prevented an attack on the Bridewell of Carrick. Still I will not say warrants against others have not been issued. COMMISSION COURT. On Wednradoy, Thomas Prender, Luke Flood, John Walsh, and several others, were indicted for Laving in their vines sion various arms, contrary to a proclamation signed by the Lord Lieutenant. The prisoners pleaded guilty, when Mr. Curran addressed the court, and said ke thought the Lase of Thomas Prender did not come under the act. The 47th Cl George 111. mentioned pike heads; whern.s the proclamation did net, nor the act of parliament under which it was issued. That stated all fire-arms or parts thereof, and swords, bayonet', pikes, but did not mention portions or parts of pikes. Now, he submitted that a pikehead was not a pike; a handle would not constitute a pike without the head, and likewise a pikehead was not a pike without the handle. — Baron Pennefather did not agree with Mr. Curran; a pike head was an offensive weapon, and much damage might be done witk it —The objection was overrul. d.—Chief Baron Figotthen a satenced Flood and Walsh to imprisonment for one day, and Thomas Presider for one month. The grand jury here came into court, and handed in the bills against John Martin, Kevan O'Doherty, Williams, and Denis Hoban. The several prisoners "erre then brought into court, including Mr. Charles Given Duffy.—The Clerk of the Crown then read the indictment against Keavan O'Doherty, and called upon him to plead.—Mr. O'Doherty pleaded not guilty.—Clerk of the Crown : Are you ready for trial ?—Mr. O'Doherty : No. fhe Attomey-General said they were ready tsgo on now.—Sir C. O'Loghlen stated that theyeatended moving for a postponement in the lour MO. After some discussion it was arranged that the motion to postpone the trials of Messrs. O'Doberty and Williams should be heard nest morning at the sitting of the court, and that copies of the affidavit in support of it should be fur nished to the crown. Cu.:oan., Aro. 8. The "rising " in Ireland seems likely to take a non rent-paying turn. Mod people in this quarter expa tiate on tte necessity of disarming the country people before winter sets in. The clubs have caused a very bad spirit among those not hitherto tainted. The attempt to murder Mr. Gough's steward, of Ardsallah, near here, is supposed to have been undertaken by a hired assassin. The late steward, a marrie I man with a large family, had been dismissed for seducing a housemaid ; this is supposed to have been the reason for the attempt made on the life of his successor. The pistol was loaded with three bullets : the assassin declared that hie cousin had lent him the pistol to "argue " with the steward, but not to " shoot hem!" SCOTLAND. Vvv EDINBURGH, AUOUBT 9. Since the magisterial proclamation was issued against open-air meetings obartism has been dormant. the report that the imprisoned leaders are to be libelled for high treason, and not for sedition, as was at first supposed, has also had a sedative influ ence. But whether the intentions of the body are towards meetings or not, the organisation of the tnthorities is so perfect that no assemblage can take place. Bailie Scott and Mr. Georgeson are still in gaol for non-payment of the annuity tax. During the week they have been visited by the provost and some of the bailies and councillors, and also by dissenting clergy men. Bailie Stott addressed a letter to one of the city clergy, pointing out his views of the unscrip tural character of the impost. It bore the motto of " I was in prison, and you visited me not." Othtr citizens, some of them members of the town council, are spoken of as likely to be incarcerated. The voluntaryism of Scotland must not be con founded with that of England. The Anglican establishment has episcopacy, liturgy, architec ture, caste, on its side besides mere law. In Scot land, the establishment is merely au endowed presbyterian church amongst other large bodies si milar in worship and discipline. She has no pecu liarity except state connexion on which to rest in the hour of peril. The upper classes are episcopalism ; the lower, dissenters ; and even of the middle ranks the establishment has no monopoly. These explana tions being kept in view, a key will be afforded to the bold tone assumed by Scotch dissent. On Tues day night another anti-annuity tax meeting was held, and the proceedings went off with great éclat. The question of Glen Tilt inclosure has been brought before the court of session in a new form. A fanner having driven some cattle through the for bidden wilderness, an interdict has been applied for to prevent a repetition of the encroachment. Lord Robertson is the judge applied to, and he will, it is expected, give judgment speedily. The Edinburgh sheriff substitute and hie principal have decided against relief to the able-bodied poor, which, being in direct opposition to the finding of the corresponding officials in Glasgow, has caused increased anxiety regarding the final opinion of the Court of Session respecting this vexed question. In connexion with poor-law economy, it may be men tioned that many flying rumours are abroad regarding the potato failure in this quarter. In gardens some decay has been noticed, but in out-fields the crops look strong and healthy. _ MOIDER NEAR DONDEL—On Tuesday, Thomas White- WOW, a weaver, residing in Dundee, accompanied by two vogue, one of them his aunt and the other a young woman named Ana Wright who lived with him, had been in Lochee an Monday evening looking at a house he had taken there, and bad remained drinking together until between two and eyes o'clock in the morning, when they set out on their re turn to Dundee. On turning up to go by the old loan road theypaw.'if by a field of potatoes adjoining a garden pot by David Elder. Whitecross having lingered behind in order to light his pipe, the women went into the field, and pulled up two or three of the potato shows, which, Whiteerou observing as he approached, told them to come out and let the potatoes alone. Just as he was speaking a gun was tired from Elder's garden, end Ann Wright cried out, ' Oh, TWO, I'm shot," and fell into hie arms. She, however, quickly started up again, and ran about a hundred yards to the humid*, where she had almost immediately expired, Gs she was quite dead when found soon after. Whiteman also felt himself wounded in the right eye and side, which stunned him so that he fainted away. On recovering he was able to be conveyed to the house he had left and put to bed; and in the forenoon was brought he the infirmary, where he still his in a precariNil state. The other woman wan slightly wounded in one of her hands. The polka learning from the villagers that David Bldg, having had his garden robbed Ilad =eight pl a y dam ago, had bees in the habit et the whh a loaded gait, sad had threatened to shoot the first person he caught attempting to steal, they proceeded to his house, and ohs, reed him go in and shut the door. II ire admitted they asked Elder what be had been dottl, and if he had a gun. He answered he had no gun, and ban bet n doing nothing. On being pressed he said that he had sent away the gun he bad some days ago—it belonged to Duncan, and a boy had come fte it. One of the police went to Dunean's house and asked whe ther this was the case. Duncan replied he had not seen the gun sines be gave it to a maa in Loehee to clean, and lie understood Elds r had borrowed it, and had not returned it. Upon this Elder confessed that he had the gun, and that he fired the shot, and afterwards placed the gun in the weaving shop on the boards above the looms, where it was found empty, and had the appearance of having been recently used. Elder was taken into custody. David Elder, the principal actor in the tra.edy, is shout 65 years of age and possessed of a good deal of property. lie is said to be very passionate, and the dsmsge his garden had suffered from nocturnal depredators had excited him to a perfect frenzy. In opposition to the persuasion of his friends he persisted in going out at-night and early in the morning with the gun heavily loaded with shot, and threatening injury to any de predators he might discover. THE STEAMER THETIS RAN DOWN k SAILING BOAT in the Clyde on Friday, by which mishap four lives were :oft. INTENDED AERESTS.—WittAntA are issued (stye the Greenock Advertise.) for the apprehension of several of the phrical fora chartists who have of late been inflaming the minds of the people of Paisley. An individual, who takes no interest in politics whatever, was apprehended by the pol ea In mistake for the chartist secretary. A know ledee of this soon spread, and the result was that four of the " 'pouters," all calico printers, immediately disappeared. A PHYSICAL-PORCE CHARTIST, named John Anderson, a confectioner, was brought before the police court, Greenock, on Monday , for a cowardly assault on his wile. He has been known for some time for the extreme violence with which he has urged his political views, and was absent from no meeting where mischief was spoken. On Sunday evening he was assisted home drunk by the police to his house in Highland Close about midnight ; and soon after, without provocation, he struck and abused his wife to the effusion of her blood. The police were attracted by her cries, entered the house. and he was canied off to the police office. In court he folded his arms across his breast and assumed, what he in tended for, an imposing attitude. he told one of the witnesses that the prosecution aeon from spite. The charge "eine fully proved, he was 6, ntenced to forty days' imprison ment. On turning from the bar, he said, " This is your day, but mine is coming." Some documents of a very inflamma tory kind (headed "To seats! if ye be min") were found in his pockets, and have been forwarded to the Lord Advocate We would ask the chartists in town (says the Greenock Advertiser), in r single word, are these your leaders / Are you willing to lend yourselves to mischief under the guid ance of such persons as this member of 'the Greenock national guard? " PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. MILITARY AND POLICE AFFRAY.—About the close of the Preston race , a collision took place between the police and tome of the militney at present stationed an that town. A private in the 35th Regiment was crossing the course, when one of the police struck him, which was the signal for a simultaneous attack by his comrades. The affray soon he came general, the railings on the course were torn up and made use of by the respective disputants. The police were ultimately put to the route, end the untoward affair caused the sports of the day to terminate in the utmost confusion. FUNERAL OT THE LATE----------- —Yesterday th.• mortal remains of the late Edward Beim., Hut , the prireipal proprietor of the Leeds Mercury, and formerly one of the representatives of the borough of Leeds, were con• signed to the public cemetery at Woodhouse, in the suburbs of Leeds. The event was observed se a sort of hall holiday, most of the shops were partially and some entirely cloud. The funeral was attended by nearly all the public functiona ries of the town, besides a large number of friends from the surrouuding towns and districts, including the mayors of Bradford and Wakefield, and the clerk of the peace for the East Riding of Yorkshire. It was estimated that those who , took pert in the procession or witnessed its progress amounted to from twenty to thirty thousand. THE SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR DURHAM. STRANOR Areal B.—The East Riding magiatrates sitting in Hull have been engaged four successive Tuesdays investi gating a charge of suspicion of murder, preferred by Mr. , R. Sowerby, the police-officer at Heade, against two young men, named Edward Bateman and Henry Bunting. It ap peered that a young man, who called himself Jonas Ed- ward Iredale, and represented himself as clerk to Mr. Ledgard, of Mirtield, tne solicitor who prosecuted fd•Cabe • and Reid (or the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Wraith and their servant maid, had lodged at a public-house in Leeds for abouttwenty-six weeks, where he represented himself as having businean to do at Dewsbury once a week, for which he received 11. per day. His appearance and man ners being respectable he became the acknowledged suitor of one of the daughters of the landlord. At the second trial of M'Cabe and Reid he gave evidence against them. They were convicted. His connexion with Mr. Ledgard immedi ately ceased, and he went to the north, still continuing his correspondence with the landlord's d.ughter, which sud denly ceased on the 7th ofJuly. From subsequent inquiries it appeared that he had left that town shortly after writing to Min —, and had not &Servitude been heard of, until on the 17th the prisoners were apprehended at Hessle with a large proportion of his wearing apparel in their permeation. It was, of course, supposed that he bad been murdered, and that thew men in all probalhlity knew more of his death than they would tell. The facts as ultimately elicited are that Iredale never was clerk to Mr. Ledgard, but being in York Castle during the first imprisonment of M'Cabe and Raid, he was at the same metiers indicted for forgery, but the bill was ignored. When M Cabe and Reid were acquitted he went to Mr. Ledgard, and told him that he bail, in prison, everheard a conversation between M'Cabe and Reid, which went to prove their guilt. Upon his information they were retaken, and again con itted. Iredale represented himself as being upon the point of proceeding to America. To se cure his attendance at the trial he was allowed 11. per week to live upon until the assizes. This he received at Dewsbury, and the receiving of it was his only business there. Of tour'e his connexion with Mr. Ledgard ceased at the trial, but he represented himself to the young lady as having ob tained employment which was yielding him 31. per day. At the time when he suddenly disappeared he fell in mitt Bateman, and proposed to him to go and break into the country house of a banker, not far from Newcastle. Iredale, who had left his carpet bag in care of Bateman, actually gut into the house. Bateman's heart failed him, and he ran away, took the carpet bag, and came down to Hull in a steamer, on board of which he met with Bunting. The su.l.or, the supposed lawyer's clerk, and the man supposed to be murdered, is then at large, and is declared to be a burglar. Bateman and Bunting were on Tuesday discharged. NORTHUMBERLAND.

Hodgson, the tory candidate at the lote borough election, was again before the county court on Tuesday last, to answer 'he summons of Mark Currie, for expenses in can vare.ing at the election. A great many witnesses were examined, including Mr. Hodgson himself, sod same amus ing diselneures were made, but no decision was come to, the 4 .re deferring judgment till next court day. ...ureortne THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER has one estate in this county.

ESTHER FIELD'S MARRIAGE ANNULLING BILL.—The bowie met at 11 o'clock, the Earl of Devon presiding, for the second reeling of this bill, whiei in its preamble recited that Esther Field, an infant of the sge of 18 years, was " on the 19th of June, 1847, by intimidation, fraud, and contri vance, and without any free or voluntary consent on her part, made and indueid by one Samuel Brown to marry him," &c.—Mr. Role, before putting in the proceedings and orders in Chancery, in the cause of " Field o. Brown" (a suit instituted in 1846 for the ; urpose of making Miss Field and her brother weeds of court), referred to the Townsbend Peerage cue„(10 Clark end F., 283), and read the observe tiollll of Lord Denman, from short-hand writer's notes, upon the second reading of that bill—A witness was then called who said he used to supply milk and butter to Mrs. Clithe row, of 31, Wimpole-street, and he knew 3111111e1 Brown; he was butler in that family about 11 or 12 years ago.—The ease for the bill being closed, the Earl of Devon, stopping Mr Ballantine, counsel for Samuel Brown, said he would, before going farther, state the opinion of the noble lords present, who bad carefully attended to this case. lie had himself, he need not say, siren it the most anxious consider ation ; as it was he who presented the petition for the lilt, and afterwards, with leave of the bowie, brought in the bill, he took a great intirest in the ease, and, for his pat, would be anxious to give this piing lady all the re lief that could be granted by the house. But the lords present, and they were perfectly competent to dispose of this case, though not law lords, were all of opinion that a sufficient case was not made by the evidence to show that there was not consent at the marriage and before. He, however, consulted the law lord.. Lord Lyndhurs', who had attended during the greater part of the proceedi , gs, was of opinion that the house would not be justified, upon the evidence as to want of consent, in passing so strong a mea sure as this. Lord Campbell, who also attended part of the proceedings, was of ttie same opinion. He also einsulted the Lord Chancellor, who, although he did not attend any part of the proceeding., yet read them, was of the same opinion a..the other noble and learned lords. Such being the opinion of all the piers who attended or considered the evidence in this cue, he (the Earl of Devon) thought this the proper stage to communicate their opini n to the pa.ties, being sure that they would not think it proper sitar tent in timation to waste the time of the house. EQUITY COURTS. Before the Lord Chancellor.--aro. 9. IN Tlll MATTER OP BIUOTIRS, AN ALLETTED LUNATIC.— Mr. J. Parker was going to open a petition fora commission of lunacy in this matter.—Mr. Roll said there were nu m( rotas offidavits filed very recently, and he asked that this case might stand over till Notember. The gentleman has been in the same state these ten years, and no harm could arise from postponement. Being affected with career is the face, the gentleman led a very retired life, and afforded to some persons grounds to suppose he wu not of sound mind.—The Lord Chancellor said it was a case in which he would not issue • commission without a report of a medical man of hi, appointment.—The learned counsel on both sides agreed to a postponement of the case, and that no further affidavits should be tile I, without the examination of them by the leading coumel, and also that Mr. Hughes would be ready to attend to be examined ley a medical man in London or in the country, as the Lord Chan cellor might direct. STAMPS e. THS BIRMTNOHAM ANT) WOLTSRHAMPTON RAILMAY COMPANY. —BOYLES TO TAkE LANDS FOR RAIL WAYS COMPELSOMY.—Tt is appeal against •n order of in junction, granted by the Vice Chancelior against the com pany's proceeding with their works until they paid or secured payment of the price oleo much of the plaintiff's property as was comprised in their notice, was argued on a former day,and stood over for • supplemental answir of the defendants. and their counsel's reply. In the course of the Solietor-Oene ral's observations in reply the Lard Chancellor gave intima tions of his opinion, in consequence of which it was arranged between Mr. Rolt, for the plaintiff, and the Solicttor•Oeneral, that the proceedings should be stayed, the defendants to take and pay for the whole property, according to their first notice, and to pay the costs of the suit., including the present motion and a motion made before the Vice-Chanceller to dissolve the injunction, the plaintiff (a printer) to be allowed a fortnight to clear out his family, printing presses, &c. Before the Master of the Rolla BRODRII3II V. Ii•UDOCK.—ViIIiT MALLINO AtlYLoll. This was • motion by the plaintiff for an injunction to restrain the defendant, Dr. Maddock, from inter fering with the management of the West Melling Lunatic Asylum, Kent, which the plaintiff and de fendai:t entered into an agreement in April last to conduct as partners. The ground on which the in jubction was applied for was, that the plaintiff had entered into the agreement under the impression, and on the faith, that Dr. Maddock had an English qualification to practise as a medical man, and that he would be able to give medical attendance to the inmates of the asylum is accordant* with the provisions of the Lunatic Act, 8 & 9 Viet. ' c. 100, and that he had been misled in this particular by the conduct of the defendant, who it appeared bad only • diploma from the University of Giessen. The Master of the Rolls, at the conclusion of the argument on the Ist inst., observed that it was satisfactory to him to find that no complaint was made of the management of the asylum by Dr. Maddock, ro far as regarded his meli. cal skill, or that there was anything improvident on his part in a pecuniary sense. The objection was of a techiiied cha racter, that the defendant did not possess the technical qua lification of a dip'oma. He should defer his judgment for a few days, in order that the parties might have an opportu nity to set 1e their difference, which he strongly recom• mended. The parties not having come to any arrangement, his lordship again mentioned the case, and refused the in jt.nccion, repeating his recommendation to the parties to settle their difference.

DIORICE.—CHANCBRY.—EIONERATION. — The testator in this cause died seised of two estates, one in Cardi ganshire and the other in Caermarthenshire, the former of which he had mortgaged for 1,5001. By his will he devised the mortgaged estate to his eldest son in tail, with remainder to the plaintiff in tail, and devised the unincumbered estate on trusts for sale and for payment of his mortgage and other debts. The trustees never acted, but the eldest son entered into possession of both estates, and acted as their absolute owner, and on a transfer of the mortgage, entered into a covenant for payment of the debt. He died without having barred the entail. The plaintiff by her bill bought to have the mortgaged estate disencumbered out of the oon's estate. The case was argued on July 17 last by Mr. Russell, Mr. Swanston, Mr. Stiaton, Mr. Hentlifield, and Mr. Bacon, for the various parties, and was reported in the Daily News of July 18. 011 that occasion the Vice-Chancellor de cided adversely to the plaintiff, without prejudice to her applying for a rehearing en the question of exoneration. The mum was afterwards reheard on this question on Aug. 1, when the cases of " Stott tr. Becher" (5 Maddock, 96), "Lord Ilchester v. Lord Caernarvon" (209), and the other authorities previously referred to, with others, were fully dietuesed, and the Vice-Chancellor reserved his judgment. — His Honour now 'aid that, after reading attentively the pa pers, including the master's report, and upon reconsideration he thought one of the most material facts was the liability under which the second testator was as a security for the fir.t. I testator, as r. girded the mortgage debt. He was the sole ex ecutor and residuary legate*, and heir-at-law of tee best tee. tutor, and survived him more than 16 years.—His Honour thought it a just inference from the fact' of the case that the son acquiesced in the father's will, and did not mean to con traTt tie its provisions, bat placed himself in the situation of a trustee under it. The question was not free from d Scully, but his Honour's ultimate conclusion was, that the debts of the first testator became the debts of the son and 'his only, and that administration of the assets must proceed on that footing, a decision rhich was, of course, to extend to the mortgage debt. Its WINDSOR, STAINES, AND SOUTH WESTERN RAIL WAY COUPANY.—MY. Baggallay mos ed for payment out of court of 4901. paid in by the company tinder a mistaken notion that certain landowners could not make a title ; and the only question was, whether such an application could be made by way of motion.—The Vice-Chancellor held that it might, a proper affidavit of the circumstances being Bled. Ex PARTE EIRE RE GOULDINO.—BANKRUPTCY:FININ4 AND RECOVERIES ACT.—Mr. W. It. Ellis supported the petition, which was for the ordinary order, in the case of an equitable mortgage, by deposit of deeds, under which the mortgagor was tenant in tail of the estates comprised in them.—Mr. Birkbeck, for the assignees, objected that, since the' act for abolishing fines and recoveries passed, there was no jurisdiction to make the order, the 62nd section of that act only extending to voidable estates, a description which could not comprise the interest of a mere deposit*, of title-deeds, creating an estate tail.—The Vices-Chancellor, however, considered the objection untenable, and made the order. Ex FARTS ANDERSON RI ANDEILSON.—AFFIDAVIT OF DEBT UNDER 5 & 6 1 7[0., S. 122,0.

Pemberton" (5 Term Reports) and other authorities were referred to.— The Vios•Chancellor,withoet hearing Mr. Demean, who ap peared to support the flat, held that the particulars of de mand referred to in the afildsivil defined the debt with suf ficient accuracy end precision, and his lionour &maimd the petition. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Brews Mr. oommiwsaser ronbtaaoue. P —John Honor Parker, earner, of Goateed street, came up for hie certilliete. The application was sup ported by Mr. Lawrence, and opposed by Mr. Cooke for the tuaignees. The bankrupt had carried ou business as whole sale carrier; his debts and liabilities amounted to near 16,0001. ; his assets were estimated to produce about 4001. The principal ground of opposition was that the bankrupt had not given a satisfactory account of his dealings w.tn the Cheat Western Railway Compaay ; and after a short exa• mination the eommissioner decided on adjourning the case until the return of Mr. Commissioner Cioulburn from his vacation, in whose court the proceeding' had been conducted, and who would be the better able to deal with the CIAO HeAVY FAILURI. — Lyoo Samuel, silversmith, of Bury street, St. Mary axe, applied for his certificate., to which no opposition was offered by the assignee. The particu , ars of his balance-sheet have already appeared in the Daily News. The debts and liabilities are 70,1591. ; assets, 17,4001. ; losses, 35,7171., including 13,4491. on railway sh ,ree; doubtful debts, 31,0151. —Mr. Charles Co le, for the assignees, laid they bad carefully investigated the accounts, and though they were not slibolutely satisfactory the assignees did not think it was a case in which they ought to oppose.—The Commiseioner remarked that the bankrupt had cot kept good he:dm—The bankrupt entered into an xculpatory statement, alleging that he had lost upwards of 49,0001. of his own capital, and that his hoses had aria; non his regular business transactions and not on railway shares—The Com missioner said the case had been pending a length of time, otherwise he should have suspended the certificate for a cow aiderab'e p. riod, on account of the bankrupt not having kept satbfictory books, and having speculated in matters not connec,td with him own business. As the we had been in the court since last November he should only suspend the certificate for three months tram the date of the last exami nation. The case was free from fraud, and the cow diture, though a little more than it conbt to have been, wan not excessive. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—GuiLorcatn, Am 10. COM. NOM. LION O.

The bill and a certificate of the marriage of Mary Brickhill with SsIMINI Ilightield having been put in, James Bib kholl, brother of defendant, proved that ate was married iii 1812, and that her husband wan still e.live.—Frederick Hight Id was then put in the box, and Serjeant Jones asked him if he was the son of his tether and mother ?

The hwhand had been proved to be alive—Mr. Chambers mid he rather doubted it. He ought to have been produced. Under Lard Denman's Art he would be a competent witness, so he was not interested in the issue. —The Chief Baron said that act gave no power to call a hus. band to give evidence in any case where his wife was an interested party.

WORSHIP STREET.—Muittrestot's ABSAVI,T.—Jane Brown was finally examined, charged with having com mitted a viol, at assentt with a poker upon Mr. William Calif, whereby his life had been endangered.—The coin plainant stated that, for the last two rears, he had boarded in a house occupied by the prisoner, in James-street, Beth nal-green, and continued to reside with her till the 20th ult., when, upon presenting himie If at the door at a later hour ran, than usual. she refused him admission.

The highest point attained for money during the day was 861, and for time 87.

Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were called 43 to 4, done as high as 431; the Fours, 69 to 71. Belgian Four-and a-Half per Cents. were in decline at 67, but quota d 67 to 70. Danish, 65 to 70.

The differences from high to low within the monthly Consols Account now terminated have been as follow, reckoning the prices for time business, which, however, have been altogether the same as for money. The present account opened on the 14th of July : 81gher4 price. Lowest price. July 14 .. 17 „ 18 „ Aug. 10 The range of differences, therefore, during the account now closed has been 31 per cent. from highest to lowest. The fluctuations tom hour to hour of each day are not, because they cannot be, taken into account, but these figures represent substantively the quality of the business done, and the differences ap proximately to be adjusted. Such is, however, the admirable, because long practised, calculating skill of stock dealers, leaving outside speculators out of question, that, however prices may diverge from day to day, or from hour to hour, they turn and adjust their accounts accordingly, so as to secure the best profits at the right time, or to cut losses short at the first moment of a movement ad verse to their operations. It is a matter of surprise that during all the extraordinary vicissitudes of the past and the present year, scarcely more than half-a dozen stockdealers have been declared in default, and those generally for inconsiderable sums, except in one instance only. Yesterday a party was declared, who was a defaulter for a very inconsiderable sum, a few hundreds only, who had been deficient on a former occa sion, and so far this is the only event of the kind to be noticed. The fact speaks much in favour of the soli dity of the Stock Exchange, and of the substantial accuracy of the system and calculations on which the transactions of the members are conducted, whatever the credit due to their intelligence otherwise. Towards the close of business to-day some large sales of Consols were made by an influential broker, which made the market heavy, and with a downward aspect. It was supposed that the operations in ques tion might be connected with political information. Money is becoming more in request, and discount houses are now understood to be rather anxious to receive deposits on call at 21 per cent. ENOLIPLI 3 per et, Rat Antis.. t 3 3 per Ct. Cons.
