A petition for adjudication in bankruptcy was presented a month ago, against Frank Conti (who had been declared a bankrupt), Francisco Franciscovitch, Braggiotti, Giovanni Baptiste Giustiniani, and Seven° Castelli, of Bury Court, St. Marl Axe, nierchents. Two of the bankrupts, G. B. Giustintani and Severn Bartel% sought to annul the ad judication. The trading and the acts of bankruptcy were not disputed; bat :t was alleged that the petitioning creditor's debt was cot suMeient. The investigation has been going on in private for a fortnight. His honour this morning gave judgment confirming the adjudication against ell the parties. Ilr. Reachy asked that the publication of the advertise ment should stand adjourned till Friday, to give the parties an opportunity of appealing.

The gist of the children' evidence was, thetas the night st Os mur der the whole of the prisoners were together at their mother's house, that a conversation was MU is Is when Gorge Bush, the deceased man, was gem, sad die mosey he had about him, and that there wee also some talk of Windmill and Box going V. meet him on his return from Priston sale. The prisoner Harriet said she would go too, but her husband refused her, and said if she went he would not go. Justus the boys were going to bed, the two men went out, and next morning the children were sent to look after Bush by their mother, who suggested that he hail probably fallen over an awkw ard stile and broken his neck. They west towards Prides, and read the un fortunate man In the field covered with blood, and his throat dreadfully cat. In the come of the day one of the boys told Windmill of the circumstance, and that he was to go down to the held where the body lay, apes which he Wooed to go, and "seemed frightened and trembled all over." The mother (Eliza Plower) subsequently told the boys they would have to go before the coroner, and cau tioned them not to say that Jacob Windmill was at their home on Monday night.

BRITISH. _ _ - -- No particular change has taken place in the posi tion of attire since our last; purchasers of wheat have, however, within the last few days acted with rather less confidence, and, as it is probable that somewhat increased supplies well be brought forward by the growers during the next two or three weeks, there may perhaps be a pause in the upward movement in prices, but we do not expect any material reaction in quotations. Though we are not likely to be altogether without arri vals from abroad, the receipts will be comparatively small till spring : of this our farmers are well aware, and as they hove delivered freely since last harvest, those whose peon "'my position will allow them to hold will not, we think, be Imposed to pet with what they have left of the last crop at lower rates an ONO SS present current. Merchants and I millers are pearelly seine le making say addition to their stocks towards the elm of lhe yew, Int we reckon im as improved deemed I.

Later in the week the demand tin ea Friday a further advance of Id. per 701bs. on wheat, and6d. per brl. on flour was realised. The 'Yorkshire markets have been very moderately sup plied with farmers' wheat this week, and though the millers have not bought freely, an advance of Is. per qr. has been established. At that improvement a tolerable extent of business was done on Tuesday both at Hull and Leeds. The advice' from Wakefield of Friday are of a si milar character ; but in some of the western and north western markets rather increased supplies of home grown wheat have, it appears, been brought forward ; a rise of about ls. per qr. was, however, obtained on both English and foreign at Bristol, on Thursday, but at Birmingham, on the same day, previous prices could not be exceeded. The accounts from the principal shipping ports on the east meat are decidedly firm, and an advance of fully Is. per qr. has been pretty generally realised in the chief markets in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and that neigh bourhood. The late falling off in the deliveries of wheat from the laymen has no doubt been occasioned partly by the desire to dispose of a portion of their barley, the last named grain having for some time put commanded relatively higher prices than wheat; the value of barley has, however, with in the last few weeks, given way le. to 2s. per qr., which may perhaps have the effect of again equalising the sup plies.

THE FATAL SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT AT KENSING TON.—Last evening the adjourned inquest on the body of Robert Woollens was resumed before Mr. Wskley, M.P., at the Gloucester Arms, Gloucester-road, Kensington. The additional evidence produced on this occasion proved that although Mr. Herbert Bean, the architect, had the general superintendence as architect and surveyor, &c., of the build ings, he had not the power of rejecting or changing the ma terials sent in (which Mr. Inderwick himself supplied), and although he had made frequent eomplainu to that gentle man as to their quality, his remonstrances were disregarded. He had 'demoted the use of Thames sand instead of loam in the making of the commit, and it did not appear that these suggestions had been acted upon. The copies of two letters, said to have been sent to Mr. Inderwick, were pre dated, in which Mr. Bean complained that hr had not oaf fitiind control over the workmen. It was usually the dory of the dirk of the works to see the directions of the archi tect carried eat, but no such person had been employed. On the other hand it was sought to show that the accident was the result of defective architecture, and to support this view two persons named Herleywere examined, one of whom stated that he had made frequent represen tations to Mr. Bean as to the insecurity of certain portions of the works, which that gentleman had disregarded. It was, however, negatived by the testimony of Mr. John L. Donaldson, Professor of Architecture at King's College, and Mr. Peacock, who attributed the accident to several causes, the principal one of which was the interior quality of the materials, and there not being a clerk of the works employed to see that the directions given by the ar chitect were properly carried out. The coroner summed up, and the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict, " That the deceased was accidentally killed by falling off the combs of a certain house, the property of Mr. leder wick, on the 21hat November last, and that they found that the accident was caused by using bad materials supplied by Mr. Inderwiek, and that Mr. Bean was to blame for per mitting the works to p on under such circumstances." The inquiry lasted areas& of foes hour. SALE OF STOCK AT THE WMTWORTII WOOD noven.—This Christmas sale of stock by Mr. Tilburn took place on Thursday. The high repute of the Roble Earl Fitswilliam'satock attracted a large muster of buyers. There were 300 sheep, 90 head of cattle, and 22 p4s of superior ;t silty, all bred on the Wentworth Woodhouse estate. ith the sheep the sale commenced, and the whole were sold in about an hour, at prices varying from 355. to 4.55. a head. But it was the cattle that attracted the greatest amount of attention. Several of the animals weighed 100 stones each, and one of the best (a Scotch bullock, five years old) sold for 341. Of the 30 Scotch bullocks, eight were bought at high prices by parties from London. Among the *hoedowns& bullocks there was one that weighed above 100 stones. It realised 321. Average price of the remainder, 171. The whole 90 beasts made upwards of 1,5701. Amongst the pigs wan sera excellent yeomen, in both the large and smell breeds ,• the _prices, 6s. and upwards per stone. Thema, sprees" to afford entire satiafactioa, and an in.. prestos eppented to prevail that it had enhanced the re potation o the Wentworth stock.—Siwgield Time. of eight or ten days, ls. 6d. to 2s. per qr.; and moderate qualities of new, weighing only 59 to 60 lbs. per bushel, were then selling at 88s. 6d. to 395. per qr. free on board and the general runs of high.mized, weighing from 60 to 611 lbs., were quoted 395. 6d. to 40s. per qr. Of floe qualities of old hardly any stocks remained; moderately good parcels of high mixed had been hold at 425. to 435. per qr. free on board. The Vistula was free from ice, and some quantity of wheat had come down, but scarcely sufficient to satisfy the demand. The rye speculation had rather slackened, the article was, however, still quoted 351. to 375. per qr. The advice. hose Stettin are not of quite so animated a character as lee week, the very high prices demanded gee both wheat and rye having ch ec k e d business. A few con tracts for the former article, foe spring delivery, were said to have been closed at very full rates, but no particulars are given. The rates asked had been 41s. to 425. per qr. for red wheat, weighing 81 to 621bs , delivered free on board in spring ; 265. 64. for Pomeranian barley of 52Ibs. weight, and 18e. for 3816 e. oats. From Rostock we learn that previous prices had been well maintained; for fine new wheat, weighing 6211b5. per bushel, equal to ffis., and for old 38s. 6d. per qr. had been paid. Stocks of old had become greatly reduced, and the supplies of sew had been on a mo de rate scale. The !value or barley had rather tended upwards, owing to a demand , for Norway. Eye had been in lively request, and has brought equal to 33e. 9d. per qr. free on board. At Hamburg, on Tuesday last, there was much less left in the grain trade Sun the week before, but *tilers were not disposed to male any concession, the extreme terms previously current being generally insisted on. Wahren wheat, of ellbs. weight, deliverable in spring, could not have hems bought below 445. ; and for the same weight., fres on Ward. at Heeklenharg, Holstein, or Pomeranian ports, 41s. Bd. to 43a. 6d. per qr. had been asked. In other articles there was net much passing, but very high prices had been. asked for both barley and oats, say 235. 34. for the former, and 16s. 91. to 17s. per qr. for the latter, weight per bushel respectively 531bs. to 5111 e. and 381bs. In the Dutch markets wheat seems to have rather re ceded in value, and the trade was decidedly quiet at Rot terdam on Mo;day. Emden letters of the let instant state: that supplies of oats had slightly increased, but all that had come to hand had been readily taken for shipment. For bastard brews, weighing 39th.., equal to 16s. 6d. to I6s , and for fair com mon brews 16s. 6d. per qr. free on board had been paid. Beans had been a good deal inquired for, and 245. to 265. per qr. had been paid for floe kiln-dried samples. From France we have nothing new in a commercial runt of view, the political convulsions in that kingdom having put a total stop to business at all the principal markets. We have advice, of recent dates from America, by which we learn that the weather had become cold, and an early closing of the inland navigation being deemed probable, holders of wheat and flour at the ports on the coast had exhibited rather Increased firmness. A fair export demand had been experienced, and shipments to some extent were being made regularly, from week to week, for Great Britain. SECOND EDITION. FROM THIS NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

Generally throughout the various departments of the " house," the excitement produced by the French crisis has altogether passed off. All the intelligence from that quarter, it is true, is watched most narrowly, but speculators appear to entertain a conviction that for tho present the position of Louis Na poleon is consolidated, and that time is conse quently afforded for tho consideration of any de cided line of operations. The Consol market is now chiefly influenced by considerations connected with the settlement of the account, which is fixed to take I place on Thursday, and which will prove an unusually heavy one, transactions in this stock having undergone a great extension of late, and the fluctuations having been severe and sudden. The market, which closed yesterday at 971, opened this morning at 971 to 1, but is no* flatter, at 971 to 1 for Thursday. Owing bowever, to stock being very scarce, the quotations for gash is actually a shade higher, being 978 to f. For fho January account, on the other hand, there is a " continuation" of 1 to 3-16, a cizeumstance which would tend to show that the jobbers are " bulls " for next time. Among the opera tions of the day has been the usual purchase of the government broker in Reduced Threes at 97/. The following is the official business report : Three per Cent. Consols, 971, 1, 98, 97/ ; ditto for account, 971, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced 97, 1, 961. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 98, 1,98, k.

The present quotation is 48s. to 51s. prem., and for India Bonds, 58s. to 61s. prem. The foreign stock market is very quiet, with little change in prices, but at present, where sales are pressed, rather lower rates must be submitted to. Mexicar Bonds have given way again, owing to the unsatisfactory accounts from the republic, we have not yet received from Col. Facio any statement of the amount brought over on dividend account by the Dee, a pint upon which the bondholders are parti cularly anxious to be informed, as indeed they are upon several other matters immediately affecting them, including accounts of the actual sum now in London a?plicable to the next dividend, and the total of duties pending collection at the various Mexican ports. Inqairies on these subjects are continually being made, and the absence of official information ia regarded with much impatience. There have been transac tions to-day in the new Spanish Deferred Three per Cents. at 161. Sales aro thus reported : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 94. Chilian Six per Cents., 994. Dutch Two-and.a-Half per Cents., 581, 691 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 89, 884. ; Equador Bonds, 21, 3. Granada One-and-a-Half per Cents., 131. Mexican,for account, 16th Dec., 24, t, 24.

With the completion of the settlement in Agua Fries and Ave Maries, the market for tho Califor nian gold mines is generally firmer, and quotations are looking up again. Present rates are as follows : Agua Fria, to 2 prem. ; Nouveau Monde, to 1 prem. ; Anglo Californian, a to » prem.; Golden Mountain, I din. to A. prem.; Ave Maria, 1 dis. to par ; West Mariposa, dis. to par. The amount of bills drawn by the East India Company on their respective presidencies from the 24th ult. to the 6th inst. is as follows : £ s. d. Rates of Ezchange. Bengal.... 77,735 14 101 lA.

The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various securities cited at the average of the prices which ruled yesterday. Where the asterisk (1 is prefixed it is to be under stood that the share rate of interest is less the in come tax. It will be seen that in every case we take the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our calculation. To render the calculation strictly accu rate, the proportion of interest which may have accrued since last dividend period should, in each case, be taken into account : chess per Cast.

Urnvzitarry COLLEGE, LONDON.—Tho council, at their session on Saturday last, received notice of the fol lowing vacancies: In the office of assistant surgeon at the hospital, by the resignation of Mr. Cadge, who has ac cepted an appointment at Norwich ; and in the office of dental surgeon at the hospital, and lecturer on dental sur gery at the college, in consequence of the decease of Mr. Deuranci George. The vacancies were ordered to be &deer ' timed. At the same session, the Fellow.' Gold Med a l f or the summer term, 1861, for the best observations on I medical cases at the hospital, and the Loagridge prise of 1 401. for general proficiency in medicine and surgery, were conferred OA Mr. Joseph Lister. An offer from the Court of Directors of the East India Company of specimens of the raw material of India from their contributions to the Great Exhibition was thankfully accepted. REDUCTIONS IN OMNIBUS FAREf3.—The large body of proprietors of omnibuses on the Oxford-street line forming the London Conveyance and Paddington Associa tion Companies, have announced an arrangement which affords facilities for omnibus travelling on this most import line of road which have not hitherto been attainable in the metropolis. The most remarkable portion of the new table of fares is, that it not only enables the public to ride from the Edgewere road to Tottenham-court-road for hi., or to Parringdon-street for 2d., by any of the regular omnibuses on the line, but also to and from Tottenham-court road to the bottom of liolborn-hill for Id. also ; so that there are two distinct fares of Id. each, or 2d. for the whole distance, from the Marble Arch, through the heart of the metro polis, to the bottom of Holborn-hill, a distance of nearly 8 miles. These concessions to the public feeling in this matter will afford universal satisfaction. SUICIDE ON A BAILWAL—On Monday morning, at an early hour, the body of a younr man named John Charlton was found dead on the line of railway which runs from Nottingham to Man.field. He is the nephew of Richard Charlton, a gamekeeper and publican, who was accidentally shot and killed by the explosion of n gun barrel in his pocket at Radford, last Friday. This seems to have affected the young man's mind so much as to induce him to commit suicide by laying himself on the rails, near Buford workhouse, just as the last train was approaching from Mansfield on Sundaynight. The engine and carriages had completely smashed his head and one shoulder to pieces, severing them from the body. At a coroner's inquest, be- fore Mr. Swann. yesterday afternoon, a verdict to the effect that deceased committed suicide while is an unsound state of mind was returned. iiiiltafttssiiii.=there are few readers who will not feel an interest in the subjoined statistics of the river Miuiesipni and Its tributaries.

VINCENT'S.—WhiIst the Retribu tion and St. Vincent were at St. Vincent's fever of the re mittent type was raging to a fearful extent, producing fifteen or sixteen deaths a day in a population consisting of about 600 persons, of whom 350 were laid up with this, fever, no doubt produced from the malaria arising from the adjacent fiats and churchyard close to the town, which the recent heavy rains not only flooded, but exposed numerous dead bodies to view in every state of decomposition. The extreme heat of this place, acting upon both vegetable and animal decomposition, together with the extremely dirty and badly ventilated state of the houses or huts, fully ac counted for this fever being generated, but as the cold weather was sawing in there was no doubt of its subsiding. The surgeon of tae Retribution and assistant-surgeon of the Sidon were constantly employed in attending on the sick. 4 If if 4 17 7 4 10 0 NM kW Ns lin r... l boo Niro qr.'s 6101, Was 10 4 0 culla odds Dort !obis EMI blay elOid liver Wad "Mrs wake .bay w,ast !Vita 43 IL N. lee 10 10 N..
