THACKERAY IN AMERICA. (Irma Missals New fork V lgas;no.) Mr. Thukeray's visit at least demoustrated that if we are unwilling to pay English authors fur their b Kik% we are re iily to reward them hscil.onsely for the °points. laity of seeing sad hearing them. If Mr. Dickens, instead of dining at other people's expense, mid making speeches at his own, when he came to see us, had devoted an evenieg Of two in the we. Is to lecturing, his purse would have been fuller, his feelings sweete., and his tame fairer. It was a Uniintie crusade, that of the copyrigly, and the eseelleit Icon has forgiven the windmill that broke his spear. UndouhtiAly, when it was aserrtained that Mr. Tbackc. ray was cum ng, the public feeling on our side of the sea was very much divided as to his probable reception. " He'll come and humbug las, eat our dinners, pocket oar money, sad go home and abuse us, like that unmitigated snub nickels.," said Jonathan, chafing with the realm. %ranee of that grand ball at the Park Theatre, and the box tableaux, and the universal wining and dining, to which the distinguished Dickeus was subject while he was our guest. _ . --;; Vt --" bil2l bay.. his say," said others, " and we will have our look. We will pay a dollar to hear him, if we can see him at the same time; and as for the abuse, why it takes eves mere than two such cubs of the roaring British lion to frighten the American eagle. Let him come, and give him fair play." H. did ciao, end has had his fair play, and has re turned to England with a comfortable pot of gold holding 12,000 dollars, awl with the hope sad promise of seeing us again in September, to discourse of something not less en tertaining than the witty men sad sparkling times of Anne. W. think there was no disappointment with his lectures. Those who knew his books found the wither in the lecturer. Those who did not know the books were charmed in the lecturer by what Is charming in the author, the unaffected humanity, the tenderises*, the, sweetness, the genial play of fancy, and the sad touch of ' truth, with that glancing stroke of satire, which, light ningilike, illumines while it withers. The lectures were even more delightful than the books, breams the tones of the voice, and the appearance of the man, the general personal magnetism, explained and alleviated so mach that would otherwise have seemed doubtful or unfair. For those who had long felt in the writings of Tharkeray a reality, quite iaezpreasible, there was a secret delight in find ing it jestilied by his speaking. For he speaks es he writes, simply, directly, without ftourish,without any emit of oratory, commending what he says by its intrinsic sewer, and the sym pathetic and humane way is which it was spoken. Thacke ray is the kind of " stamp orator" that would have pleased Carlyle. He never thrusts Wench between you end his theeght. If his conception of the time and his estimate of the men differ from your own, you have at least ao doubt what his view is, nor how sincere and necessary it is to him. Hr. Thackeray considers Swift *misanthrope. He loves Goldsmith, and Steele, and Ilarryjielding. He has DO love for Sterne, great admiration for Pope, and alleviated admiration for Addison. How could it be otherwise ? How could Thackeray not think Swift a misanthrope and Sterne a fictitious sentimentalist ? He is a man of instincts, not of thoughts. lie sees and feels. He would be Shakspeare's 0 call-boy" rather than dine with the Dean of St. Patrick's. He would take a pot of ale with Goldsmith rather than a glass of Burgundy with the " Reverend Mr. Sterne," and that simply because he is Thackeray. He would have done it as Fielding would have done it, because he values one genuine emotion above the most dazzling thought, because he is, in fine, a Bohemian, " a minion of the moon," a great, sweet, generous human heart. We say this with the more unction now that we have the personal proot of it in his public and private intercourse while he was here. The popular Thackeray-theory, before his arrival, was of • severe satirist, who concealed scalpels in his sleeves, and carried probes in his waistcoat pockets; a of masks, a scoffer and sneerer, and general infidel of all high aim and noble character. Certainly we are justified in saying that his presence amongst us quite corrected this idea. We welcomed a friendly, genial man ; not at all convinced that speech is h 's lint law, but wiliing to be silent when there was nothing to say—who decidedly refused to be lionised, not by sulking, but by stepping off the pedestal and challenging the common sympathies of all he met; a man who, in .iew of the thirty odd editions of "Martin Farquhar Tupper," was wiling to confess that every author should "think small beer of himself." In deed he has this rare quality, that his personal Impression deepens, in kind, that of his writings. The quiet and comprehensive grasp of the fact, and the intellectual impossibility of holding fate anything but the fact, is u manifest in the euist upon the Wits, as in the author of Henry Esmond a id Vaulty Fair. Shall we say that this is the sum of his power, and the secret of his satire ? It is not what might be, nor what we, or other persons of well-regulated minds, might wish ; but it is the actual state of things, that he sees and describes. How them can he help what we call satire, if he accepts Mrs. Rawdon Crawley's invitation, and describes her party? There is no more satire in it—so far as he is concerned— than in painting lilies white. A full length portrait of the fair Lady Buitnx, too, must needs show a gay and brilliant iglus, superbly glittering across the vista of those stately days. Why should Dab and Tab, the eminent critics, step up and demand that her eyes be of pale blue, and her stomacher higher around the meek? Do Dab and Tab expect to gather pears from peach trees ? or, because their theory of dendrology matinees them that an ideal fruit tree would supply any fruit desired epos application, do they detonate the sea- pear -bearing peach tree in th e columns of their saleable journal ? This is the drift of the fault found with Thackeray. He is not Fenelon, he is not D:ckens, he is not Scott ; he is not poetical, he is not ideal, be is not hu mane, be is not tit, he is not tat, complain the eminent Dabs and Tabs. Of coarse he is not, because he is Thacke ray—a man who describes what he sees, motives as well as appearances, • man who believes that character is better than talent—that the,, is • worldly weakness superior to worldly wisdom—that Dick Steele may aunt the ales-house, and be carried home mussy, and yet be a more commendable character than the reverend Dean of Bt. Patrick's, who has genius enough to illuminate a century, but not sympathy enough to sweeten a drop of beer. And he represents this in a way that makes us set it as he does, and without ex aggeration, for surely nothing could be more simple than his story of the life of " honest Capt. Dick Steele. If he allotted to that gentleman a consideration disproportioned to the spies be occupied in literary history, it only showed the more strikingly, how deeply the lecturer's sympathy was touched by Steele's honest humanity. An article in our April number complained that the tendency of his view of Anne's times was to a axial laxity which might be veryexhilaratiag hut was very dangerous; that the lecturer's warm emnimendation of fermented drinks takers at • very early bowed the meraing in tavern rooms and club houses was as deloodens to the moral health of enthusiastic young noise% dimmed to the literary life, as the beverage itself to dodo phydeal health. But this is not • cheep te be brought against Thackeray. It is • quarrel with Wrier, Mid with the eaters of literary life. Artists and authors have always been the good fel lows of the world. That mental organisation which predis poses a man to the pursuit of literature and art, is made up of talent combined with ardent social sympathy, geniality, and passion, and leads him to taste every cup and try every experience. There is certainly no essential necessity that this class should be • dissipated and disreputable class; but, by their very susceptibility to enjoyment, they will always be the pleasure-lovers and seekers. And here is the social compensation to the literary man for the surrender of those chances of fortune which men of other pursuits enjoy. If he makes less money he gets more juice out of what he does make. If he cannot drink Burgundy he can quaff the nut-brown ale, while the most brilliant wit, the most salient fancy, the sweetest sympathy, the mut ge nial culture, shall sparkle at his board more radiantly thee a silver service, and give him the spirit of the tropics and the Rhine ' whose fruits are on other tables. The golden light th at transfigures talent and illuminates the world, and which we call genius, is erratic and erotic ; and while in Milton it is austere, and in Wordsworth cool, and in Southey methodical, in Shalnpeare it is fervent, with- all the results of fervour, in Raphael lovely, with all the excesses of love, in Dante moody, with all the whims of caprice. The old quarrel of Lombard-street with Grub .street is as profound as that of Osiris and Typho—it is the difference of sympathy. The Marquis of Wistininster will still take good care that no eapertluous shilling escapes. Oliver Goldsmith will still spend his last shilling upon a brave and unnecessary ban quet fir his friends. Whether this be a final fact of human organisation or not, it is certainly a fact of history. Every man Isaias• Lively believes that Shakspeare stole deer, just as he disbe lieves that Lord Mayor Whittington ever told a lie ; and the secret of that instinct is the conscious/senor • differ ent* in organisation. t. Knave, I have power to hang ye," says sowebody in one of Beaumont and 1-letther's plays. " And I to be hanged and scorn ye," is the airy answer. " I had • pleasant hour the other evening," said a friend to us, " over my cigar and a book." " What book was that ?" " A treatise conclusively proving the awful con sequences of smoking." De Oniony came up to London, and declared war against opium. But during a little am nesty, in which he lapsed iato his old elysiunt, he wrote his best book, depicting its horrors. Our readers will not imagine that we are advocating the claims of drunkenness, nor defending social excess. We are only recognising the fact, and stating an obvious tendency. The most brilliant illustrations of every virtue are to be found in the literary guild, as well as the saddest beacons of warning. Yet it will often occur that the lest in talent and the first in excess of a picked company, will be the man around whom sympathy moot kindly lingers. We love Goldsmith more at the head of his ill-advised feast, than Johnson and his friends leaving it, thoughtful and generous as their conduct was. The heart despises prudence. In this single-hearted regard we know that pity has a larger share. Yet it is not so much that pity which is commiseration for misfortune and deficiency as that which is recognition of a necessary worldly ignorance. The lite rary class is the most innocent of all. The contempt of practical men for the poets is based upon a coneciousuess that they are not bad enough for a bad world. To a prac tical Mon nothing is eo absurd as the lack of worldly shrewdness. The very complaint of the literary life, that it dues not amass wealth and live in palaces, is the eco.-n of the practical man, for he cannot uadentand that iatellee tual opacity which prevents the literary man from seeing the necessity of the different pecuniary condition. It is clear enough to the publisher who lays up fifty thousand a year why the author ends the year in debt. Bat the author is amazed that he who deals in ideas can only dine upon oc casional chops, while the man who merely binds and sells ideas sits down to perpetual sirloin. If they should change place', fortune would change with them. The publisher, turned anther, would still lay by his hundred'. The pub lishing author would directly lame thousands. It is simply because it is a matter of prudence, economy, and know ledge of the world. Theses Hood made his tea thousand dollars a year, hut if he lived at the rate of fifteen thou sand, he would twaty die rich. Mr. Jeribm, • gentleman who, in his autobiography, advises energetic youth te be take themselves to the highway rather than to literature. was, we understand, 1: the receipt of an ea.y income, and was a welcome aura in pleasant hawks ; but living in • careless, shiftless, r aaaaaa gent way, he was presently poor, and, instead of giving his memoirs the motto, record, and inditing a warning, he dashes oil • truculent defiance. Publishers and practical men of all kinds invest their earn ings in Michigan Central, cr Cincinnati and Dayton; in steady works, and devoted days, and reap • pleasant harvest of dividends. Our friends, the authors, invest in prime Ilavannahs, Rhenish, in oyster suppers, love, and leisure ; and divide a heavy per tentage of headnelte, dyspepsia, and debt. This is as true a view, from another point, as the one we have already taken. If the literary life hu the pleasures of freedom, it hes also its pains. It may willingly resign the Queen's drawing-room with the illustrious gaiety of stars sad halters, fur the chamber with a party nobler thee no bility. The author's success is of a wholly different kind fremathat of the publisher, and he is thoughtless who de mands both. Mr. Roe, who sells sugar, naturally com plains that Mr. Doe, who sells molasses, makes money more rapidly. But Mr. Tennyson, who writes poems, can hardly make the same complaint of Mr. Moron who publishes them, as was very fairly shown in a late number of the Westminster Review, when noticing Mr. Jerden's book. What we have said is strictly related to Mr. Thackeray's Matures, which discussed literary life. All the men he ennememorated were illustratioes and exponents of the 411Nreer of letters. They all, in various ways, showed the various phenomena of that temperament. And when, in treating them, the critic came to Steele, be found one who wee the most striking illustration of one of the most unl ined upsets of literary life; the simple hearted ensue }ldeas, gay, gallant, and genial gentleman, ready with his sword or his pen, with a smile or • tear, the hie represen tative of the social tendency of his life. It seems to us that the Thackeray theory, the eseclusien that he is a man who loves to depict badness and has ma sensibilities to the finer qualities of character, crumbled wake away before that lecture upon Steele. We know that it was not considered the best. We know that many of the delighted audience were not sufficiently familiar with literary history fully to understand the position of the man in the lecturer's re view ; but, as a key to Thackeray, it was perhaps the most valuable of all. We know, in literature, of no more Rustle treatment. We have aot often encountered in men of the most rigorous end seknowleged virtue such bums' tenderness. We have not often heard hem the most clerical lips words of such genuine Christianity. Steele's was • character which makes weakness amiable. It was weakness, if you will, but it was as certainly amiability. And it was a combination more attractive than many full-panoplied 'e minencies. It was not presented as a model. Captain Steel* in the tap-room was not painted as the ideal of virtuous manhood. But it certainly was intimated that many admi rable things were consonant with a free use of beer. It was frankly stated that it, in that career, virtue abounded, cakes and ale did much more abound. Captain Richard Steele might have behaved much better than he did—but we should then have never heard of him. A few fine essays do not float a man into immortality. But the generous character, the heart sweet in all excesses and under all chances, is a spectacle too beautiful and too rare to be easily forgotten. A men is better than many books. We conceive this to be the chief result of Thackeray's visit, that he convinced as of his intellectual integrity ; he showed us how impossit.le it is for him to see the woild and describe it other than he does. He does not profess cynicism, nor satirise society with malice. There is no man more humble, none more simple. His interests are human and concrete, not abstract. We have already said that he looks through and through at the fact. It is easy enough, and at some future time it will be done in these pages, to deduce the peculiarity of his writings from the character of his mind. There is no man who masks so little as he, in as suming the author. His books are his observation reduced to writing. It seems to us as singular to demand that Dante should be like Shakspeare, as to quarrel with Thackeray's want of what is called ideal portraiture. Even if you thought, from reading his " Vanity Fair," that he had no conception of noble women, certainly, after the lecture noon Swift, after all the lectures, in which every allusion to women was so many, and delicate, and sympathetic, you thought so no longer. It is clear that his sympathy is attracted to women by that which is essentially feminine. Qualities common to both sexes do not necessa rily charm him because he finds them in women. A eertain degree of goodness must be always as sumed. It is only the rare flowering that inspires especial praise. You call Amelia's fond ness for George Osborne foolish, fond idolatry. Thackeray smiles as if all love were not idolatry of the fondest foolishness. What was Hero's? what was Francesca di Rimini's ? what was Juliet's? They might have been more brilliant women than Amelia, and Meer idols of a larger mould than George, but the love was the same old, foolish, fund idolatry. The passion of love, and a profound and sensible regard based upon prodigious knowledge of character and appreciation of Went, are dif ferent things What is the historical and poetic splendour a love, but the very fact which constantly appears in Thackeray's stories—namely, that it is • glory which dazzles and blinds? Men ranly love the women they ought to love, according to the ideal standards. It is this that makes the plot and mystery of life. Is it not the ripensl surprise of all Jane's friends that she should love T . instead of Thomas? And is not the courtly and T-omas sure to surrender to some accidental Lmay, whheut position, wealth, style,wit, culture—without anything but heart ? This is the fact, end it reappears in Thaekeray ; and it gives his books that air of reality which beyond all modern story. *Z I' itis this single perception of the fact, which, simple es It is, is the rarest intellectual quality that made his lec tures so interesting. The sun arose again upon that va nished century, and lighted those historic streets. The wits of Queen Anne ruled the hour, and we were bidden to their feat. Much reading of history and memoirs had not so sent the blood into those old English cheeks, and se moved those limbs in proper measure, as these swift glances through the eyes of genius. It was because, true to him self, Thackeray gave us his impressions of those wits as men, rather thati authors. For he loves character more than thought. He is a man of the world and not a scholar. He interprets the author by the man. When you are made in timate with young Swift, Sir William Temple's saturnine secretary, you more intelligently appreciate the Dean of St. Patrick's. When the surplice of Mr. Sterne is raised a little, more is sees than the reverend gentleman intends. Ho earth, the bluff Londoner, necessarily depicts a bluff, eoar,e, obvious morality. The hearty Fielding, the cool Addicoo, the genial Goldsmith,—these are the figures that remain in memory, and their works are as valuable as they indicate the man. Mr. Thackstay's sueeew was very great. He did not visit the West, nor Canada. He went home without seeing Niagara Falls. But whemer he did go, be found a generous social welcome, and a respectfal sad sympa thetic hearing. He cam to fulfil no mission : but he cer tainly knit more closely our sympathy with Englishmen. Heralded by various romantic memoirs, he smiled at them, ' stoutly asserted that he had been always able to command a good dinner, and to pay for it ; nor did he seek to die ruse that he hoped his American tour would help him to command and pay for more. He promised not to write a book about as, but we hope he will, fee we can ill spare the criticism of such an observer. At least, we may be sure that the material gathered here will be worked up in some way. Ile found that we were not savages nor bows. He found that there were a hundred here for every score in Ragland, who knew well, and loved, the men of whom he spoke. He found that the same red blood colours all the lips that speak the language he so nobly praised. Hs found friends instead of critics. He found those who, loving the author, love the man more. He found a quiet welcome from those who are waiting to welcome him again, and as sincerely. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN GLASGOW. On Sunday morning the southern district was startled by a rumour that the wife of a collier, named Dawson, residing in Rose-street, had fallen a victim to a cold-blooded outrage perpetrated by her husband. For the put two days Mrs. Dawson, who has lately become addicted to drink, bad been absent from home, to which she only re tuned on Thursday evening helplessly intoxicated. Those living in terms of intimacy with the unfortunate couple all concur in saying. that notwithstanding her deplorable con dition, nothing but good feeling prevailed between Mrs. Dawson and her husband, who both went to bed about 11 o'clock. The house in which they reside is in the occupancy of a man named Francis Carrel, and consists of 2 apartments, only divided by a slender partition, in one of which (the kitchen) Dawson and his wife lodged. Shortly after the family had retired to rest, Mrs. Carril, awakened by the shrieks of her female lodger, who was evidently in great agony, im mediately got up and repaired to the kitchen, when • spectacle met her view of the most appallin# kind. Mrs. Dawson was lying at the back of the bed in a pool of blood, which flowed profusely from a frightful gash in her neck, while her husband reclined in front, with his face to the wall, betokening not the remotest concern. The alum wan immediately given tothe proper quarter, and Mr. M'Farlane, of the Gubals detective force, accompanied by Dr. Stewart, only reached the spot in time to prevent the Neaps of Dawson who, apprehensive of his safety, bad got up and dressed himself. With the aid of Dr. M'Auslane, who was shortly afterwards sent for, Dr. Stewart skilfully dressed the wounds, which consisted of two deep heel- , *ions in the front of the neck, two and-a-half inches long, and extending along the front of the windpipe. The pri soner, who had maintai n ed a d ogge d silence during the operation, suddenly became communicative, and in con fessing to the police, on the way to the office, that his in tention was to murder his wife, expressed his regret that the razor which be had employe* to accomplish his guilty purpose had not taken more immediate effect. It is con jectured, not only from his own statements, but from those of Carril, that Dawson had coolly waited till the inmates of the house were asleep, and bad then risen, gone into the room occupied by Carril, taken a rawer out of a drawer, and committed the murderous assault. Although at a late hour last night the ill-fated woman was alive, but slender hopes are entertained for her recovery. The prisoner has bees known for the last ten years as a most inoffensive man, of unimpeachable character, and he is alleged to have been quite sober when the dreadful occurrence happened.— Nora British Daily Mail.

King, of Carlisle. It was a creditor's suit, and was commenced in 1803, and was instituted b. deceased's bankers to obtain payment of a balance of near 1,2001. owing to them. A decree was made in 1806, but nothing was done. In 180 the legal personal representa tive of the intestate died, and nothing was done in the suit afterwards until the present proceeding. In July, 1852, a daughter of the intestate took out letters of administration de bonis nun, and now the cause came on by way of petition from the plaintiffs, who are the legal representatives of the original plaintiffs. It appeared that in 181 , 1 some one, but it was not known who, paid to the plaintiffs the sum of 1,0911., which nearly satisfied the balance due to them, except the interest which had ae• trued, and that before that period, a sum which was found to he in the hands of the widow of the intestate was paid into court, and invested in purchasing 2981 console, and the sum now in court, with accumulations of interest, now amounts to 7201. The petition prayed that the parties might now be at liberty to go in and proceed under the de cree, in order that the debts might be paid out of the sum in court. _ _ His Honour said be was not clear that, considering the time that had elapsed, he had power to grant the petition, but he would consider the point. BIM= VICIKIIANCILLOR STVAIT. CARPENTER V. THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM PACKET COMPANY. In this suit a motion was made a few days since for an injunction to restrain the sailing of a vessel of the defend ants, the Rajah, and also the working that vessel with screw propellers, which the plaintiff by his bill alleged we►e constructed according to an invention for which the plaintiff had a patent. The defendants undertook on that occasion that the vessel should not leave England until to day, and the defendants consented to allow an inspection of their screw propeller in the vessel by the plaintiff in the meantime. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Vance now appeared in support of the motion. They stated that in consequence of the ltajah having been afloat the plaintiff had not been a►le to obtain such an inspection es was necessary. The plaintiff therefore asked that the motion might stand over. Mr. Matins and Mr. Barber said that the defendants had prepared a model of their screw propeller and were ready to_iiroceed with the motion. The Vice Chancellor declined to allow the motion to stand over, but said the costs should be coats in the cause. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YesTERDAT. Scram Ma. Couxuamisi Ix RE RHEIMS. This was the first meeting under the bankruptcy of J. Johnson, who had been in an extensive way of business as an East India merchant, in Great Winchester-street. A number of creditors were in attendance, for the purpose of proving their debts. From a preliminary statement of the bankrupt's affairs, it would appear that his liabilities are about 20,0001.; the amount of assets has not yet been ascer tained. Owing to two of the largest creditors not being prepared to prove, the choice was deferred for two days, as far as the sanction of the court was concerned. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the bankrupt, asked for • prospective allowance after the next meeting. There were at present no assets, but considerable sums were expected to be realised. His Honour said he would not fix the amount till he saw how the assets came in. _ IN RE COHEN. This was the adjourned examination meeting in the cue of Abraham Cohen, wholesale clothier, of Houndeditch. His tiebts were 2,3001., assets about 5601. The case has already occupied the court at great length on two or three previous sittings, the accounts being disputed by the assignees on the ground that he had given no account of the proceeds of a business at Guildford. On the part of the bankrupt it was contended that this was the business of his brother, and a great amount of evidence was gone into on each side. His Honour said he would first give his decision on a question arising on two bills of exchange accepted by the bankrupt, and paid by him to Mr. Isaacs, the holder, before they were due, and in evident contemplation of bankruptcy. This was clearly a fraudulent preference, especially as re garded one of the bills, the amount of which must - be given up to the enigmas. Mr. Turner, for the assignees, now submitted that there must of necessity be an agjournmest sine die, on the ground of the bankrupt having attempted a complete fraud in the matter of the Guildford business. It was utterly impossible for the court to certify that the bankrupt had made a full disclosure and discovery of his estate and effects. He had supplied all the goods for the Guildford business, and had frequently gone down to look after it. Even th e business was not carried on in the name of the brother at all, bat in that of " J. C. Wagner," the previous occupier of the slew A further charge was that of withholding entries fres Ws books, with a view to defraud his creditors. He had made • list of debts which he knew to be mars, and upon that had offered a composition of 6s. is the pound, and after wards of 84 , when these omissions were ered. There were numerous CUPS of undue preference—ri b ° m it others, to the brother Joseph, who, it was alleged, in diffi culties himself, had lent the bankrupt 11114•01. &lithos it was aoatanded that lbw, ought se be ea in rerstd e l adjournment under the penal esetisis. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, smateried that than. was no ground for imputing perjury to the witnesses on either side. Every one knew that men would hike different views according to their leaning. Even Webb, thesis eipal witness, could not go beyond impression or belief that the Guildford business was the bankrupt's. The transact- Oohs with the brother were substantiated by entries in the bankrupt's boots, and though the ease was not one free from suspicion, the court would not be warranted in pre suming most strongly against the bankrupt. As soon as he found himself in difficulties, he had ailed together his creditors, and pieced himself unreservedly in their hand.. His Honour said he could not but come to the conclusion that a fraud had been contemplated and committed in the case of the Guildford business; for he could,not accept the explanation given as a rational one. It was said the brother, whose badness did not succeed, wished to take another in the country, on the ground of his health, and yet he never slept one night in the country, nor was he ever found acting independently its relation to this basin's'. When he went down he had never gone alone, but in company either of the bankrupt or one of his spate. The goods were an important point in the eau ; two had gone down, according to one witness, worth abour i at to another between 4001. and 6001. ; but they were only entered to the amount of 1101. This seemed to be the key of the plot—that a quantity of goods was to be sent down to Guildford, much greater in amount than what appeared in the books, to be disposed of ultimately to a man who gave bills for them, and which bills found their way back to the hands of Joseph Cohen. The entries In the books were not entitled to much credit ; in some cases, theinitials "J. C. " which were said to mean Joseph Cohen, being so attached that there was no reason for believing they were made at the time. The appearance of the books lad to the belief that they were attached afterwards; the case was the same with regard to the word "/aid" written across. A letter written by the bankrupt, the signature of which he bad attempted to deny, pond that he was considered the master of the shop; Minot\ the letter itself was not so important as the bank owl s denial of it, after he felt the pinch of the case. The badness was broken up is the most sudden manner, which was quite consistent with the intention of clandestinely car rying off the goods. He therefore came to the conclusion that this was a fraud, either intended to account for the disappearance of the goods, ur one of those cases not alto gether unknown in that court, where two persons endea voured so to ratline property that, whichever failed first, it should be called the property of the other. The charge of entering fictitious receipts for his debts was substantiated, and was now admitted by the bankrupt himself. When a trader was about to offer a composition to his creditors, and for that purpose laid before them a statement of his affairs, be was bound to the most rigid and minute accuracy. But If say doubt bad remained as to the fraudulent nature of the transactions, it would be removed by the bankrupt's deollogs with one Phillips, to whom he had given two cur tamers acceptances to keep for him until after his bank roptcy. There were also undue preferences to Isaac Isaacs, and to Micheal Cabs ; the letter wee decidedly a case of fraudulent making away of goods. He had sold goods to Michael Cohen, ea the very unusual terms of • bill at 12 mouths, and that bill, for 981., found its way again to Joseph Cohen. The bankrupt's manner of answering throughout had been most unsatisfactory. For these reasons the court felt bound to accede to the request of the assignees, and to adjourn the examination sine die. Mr. Lawrence—Will your honour grant protection for a limited period ? The Commissioner—No • I do not think it a case in which I can grant any prot ection. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YESTERDAT. ilizoaz Mi. C0M71116101111 LAW. IN Till MAMA OF PETER EDWIN HENDR/130N. EXTILAOYDINAY (CBE. This insolvent, who was before the court on a former occasion, appeared for further examination. Mr. Cooke opposed on the part of the Earl of Cardigan, and Mr. Reed supported. The Hon. Mr. Norton, who was inserted, dis claimed being a creditor. The case disclosed soots peculiar circumstances. The in solvent had obtained possession of the Low Leith Collieries, near Wakefield, in Yorkshire, belonging to Lord Cardigan, and his lordship was now a detaining creditor for upwards of 1,0001. It appeared that in 18.1 the insolvent got pos session of the collieries on a valuation, and retained pos session about 6 months. He made application to the Yorkshire Banking Company to open an account, and in one of their printed circulars stated that his capital was from 20,0001. to 2.5,0001., and not borrowed. He had previously had a coal mine near Olasgow, and bad little or no capital when he became tenant to Lord Cardigan. The Yorkshire Bank made advances, and afterwards had to sue the insolvent and obtained payment out of the property in the Low Leith Collieries. The lion. Mr. Norton had a coal mine sur rounding the Low Leith Collieries, and there was some negociation to let the same to the insolvent, but it had not, as stated in evidence, been done, and for a trespass, as alleged, in raising coals, the lion. Mr. Norton complained, but dis claimed being a creditor, and of course to epposs. Among the witnesses called in the course of the case were Mr. Hayward and Mr. Marsden, who were agents to Lord Cardigan, and they gave evidence as to statements made by the insolvent to them, some of which were made after the insolvent got into possession, in which ha declared that he had a mortgage on Lord Cardigan's THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, '853. estates. There was n'r pretence for inch an allegation. l`roceeelings were taken against the insolvent to compel ban to giv rup the collieries, and he offered to quit if he was paid 6.000:. for certain improvements he said he had made. The action was re reseed to arbitration, and an award made fur 9461., which with the costs exceeded 1,0314 The insolvent WAS got out of the collieries, and was now in prison at the suit of Lord Cardigan. The debts on the schedule were 3,9701., and the credits 831. The insolvency was attributed to losses sustained on the collieries he had possessed. Mr. Commissioner Law gave judgment. The point was between the insolvent and Lord Cardigan, as the Hon. Mr. Norton had complained of •wanton trespass, but disclaimed being a creditor. As to the case between Lord Cardigan and the insolvent, he (Mr. Commissioner Law) could not help saying that ke bad never seen a ease so strongly marked by effrontery and impudence in falsehood as this case ; he had never seen one who had been equalled by the insolvent in that respect. In the impudence of falsehood Le stood pre-eminent. It would seem that the insolvent had had a colliery in Seotlsnd, and in 1851, when he qot into possession of Lord Cardigan's place, he had no capital, or at least only a little he hod borrowed and obtained as • trustee. His answers to the circular from the Bank showed the boldness with which he made his falsehoods. In reply to one of their questions as to his capital, and whether borrowed, he wrote 20,0001. or 25,0001., none borrowed." If the insolvent had as many pence of his own, it was as much as he had. Ad vances were obtained and ultimately paid out of as execu tion levied on Lord Cardigan's property in the possession of the insolvent. His Honour referred to some statements made by the insolvent to the agents of Lord Cardigan of holding mortgages on his lordship's estates. There was a boldness in such statements that astounded him. It was a most audacious attempt of one man to rob another of his property. His Honour pronounced • judgment at the suit of Lord Cardigan of nineteen calendar months from the resting order for the manner in which he had con tracted this debt. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. YESTERDAY. Henry Taylor, 28, a very respectable-looking young man, was eherged upon three i ndictments with the offences of embezzling money helloing to his employers, Messrs. Bishop and Co., distillers. Mr. Ballantine, who appeared for the prisoner, said that upon looking at the facts disclosed in the depositions, he felt that it would be hopeless for him to attempt to struggle against a conviction, and the prisoner would therefore, with lus sanction, plead guilty to the whole of the indictments against him. He, at the same time, begged to be allowed to state to the Court, that up to the time of the transactions in question there had been no imputation upon the cha racter of the prisoner, and he bad not falsified the books or in any way aggravated his offence. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, who appeared for the prosecution, said he was instructed to admit that the prisoner had borne an irreproachable character until these offences were discovered, and also to recommend the prisoner to the mer ciful consideration of the court. He said he likewise thought it right to inform his lordship that there was no doubt that the prisoner had bees led into the commission of the acts of dishonesty to which he had now pleaded guilty by the temptation afforded by those abominable places, the betting-houses in the metropolis. It appeared that the prisoner had betted to a small amount in the first instance, and having lost, be increased hie stake, when, being again unsuccessful, be was induced to make use of the money belonging to his employers to cover his losses. The Recorder said, on passing sentence, that it was a very lamentable thing to see a respectable young man stand ing in the position of the prisoner, and his experience in that court induced him to believe that what had been stated by the learned counsel with regard to his having been connected with betting shops was yew likely to have been the cause of his disgrace. Ile trusted that either by some act of the legislature, or by the force of public opinion, places of this description would be done away with, as they were most undoubtedly a very fruitful source of crime. The offence to which the prisoner had pleaded guilty was one of a very serious character ; but taking into considera tion that he had been already a considerable time in prison, and that he had been recommended to mercy by the pro secutors, he would refrain from passing a sentence of trans portation, although his duty to the public would still com pel him to inflict a punishment of considerable severity. He then ordered the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for twelve months. John Rwhaeds, 22, was indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of John Crateley, with in tent to steal his goods. The evidence went to show that the prosecutor was a tradesman residing in Bentinek-street, Manchester-square, and that on the night named in the indictment, the prisoner was observed to be lurking about the house, and at length he opened the private door with a latch key, and went in. Au alarm was raised, and upon a policeman going into the house, the prisoner was found in the bed-room of a highly respectable lady, the widow of an officer in the army, who was lodging there, and on his being asked to meant for his being there in the house, he said that he expected to meet a gentleman. The alarm was given so instantaneously upon the prisoner making his way into the house, that he had no opportunity to remove any property, although his object evidently was plunder. Mr. Sleigh in his address to the jury for the prisoner, insinuated that he had gone into the room by appointment with the lady who was the occupier of it, and upon that ground be called upon them to acquit him. The Recorder, when he summed up, told the jury that he was certainly somewhat surprised that the learned counsel for the prisoner should have cut se serious an im putation upon the character of a lady in her absence, end especially when, as it appeared to him, there did not seem to be the slightest foundation afforded for it by the evi dence. The jury would, however, take all the circum stances of the case into their consideration, and say by their veroict whether they thought the charge had been estab *shed against the prisoner or not. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty, and a certificate was then put in showing that the prisoner had been before convicted of felony. Mr. Sleigh intimated that if he had been aware of the existence of a previous conviction he should not have sug gested the defence he did to the jury. The Recorder expressed his opinion that the defence was quite an unjustifiable one, end that there was not the least foundation for it. The prisoner said it was not suggested in his brief. Mr. Sleigh admitted that the defence was not suggested to him in his brief, but said that it occurred to him as a legitimate one to offer to the jury upon the facts of the case. The jury expressed their opinion that the learned counsel was not justified in casting such imputation upon the cha racter of the lady, as there did not appear to be the slightest ground for the insinuation. The Recorder repeated his opinion that such a defence ought not to have been set up. The prisoner, who appeared to have a very bad charac ter, independent of the formal proof of a previous convic tion, was sentenced to be transported torten years. The Retarder on passing a sentence of transportation upon several prisoners in the course of the day, took occasion to observe, that although the important question of secondary punishment was still under consideration by the govern ment, and there was some doubt whether persons who were sentenced to transportation, would in point of fact be sent out of this country, yet he felt it his duty in all the cases that seemed to him to require the infliction of that punish ment to pus a sentence of transportation, and then place the parties in the hands of the government. He thought it right, however, to let be known that in every instance where a sentence of transportation was passed upon a prisoner, that under all circumstances it would entail upon him a very lengthened period of most severe imprisonment, and that if a prisoner should eventually be sent out of this country, he would most certainly not be sent to any portioa of the colo nies where gold was to be obtained. MIDDLEBEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY. The June general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, before Mn Witham, deputy assistant judge. The calendar contains the names of 80 prisoners for trial -69 for felony and 11 for misdemeanor. Mr. Witham briefly charged the grand jury. John Allen, 40,'Eind George Silrester, 25, were indicted for having stolen a sack, value Is. Gd., and 3 bushels of oats, the property of William Hatch, their master. The prosecutor was a farmer at Hauworth ; and it ap peared that on the 31st of May he received information from his sister that a sack of oats was concealed in a suspicious manner under some strow in the stable ; and, having found that this was so, be set a constable to watch, to see who took it away. At half-past 2 o'clock on the following morning the prisoners took the sack away in a waggon, and when questioned as to what they bad got, they declared they had only a hit of hay for their hones. The j ury found them Gusity The prosecutor said the prisoner Allen bad been in his service all his life, and had always borne the character of a good, sober, industrious, and honest man; he had a wife and eight children, and he wished strongly to recommend him to mercy. Silvester had been in hie employ but a few months. Sentence was deferred. Thomas Lee, 28, was indicted for stealing a pone contain ing four half sovereigns, and other monies, from the person of John Brown. -.- The prisoner and the prosecutor were extra labourers at the West India Dock, and on the 10th inst., they were there waiting to be called. The prisoner, it seemed, cut.the prosecutor's pocket with a knife, and abstracted therefrom his purse, containing all he poss essed in the world, four half sovereigns, two half crowns, sad some copper money. The prxsecutor himself detected this, accused him of the theft, and gave him into the custody of one of the doektonstables. The prisoner dropped the purse from his hand. The Jury found him Guilty. Mr. Witham said this was a very cruel robbery, and he should put an additional three months to the sentence. He then ordered the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for nine calendar months._ THE QVIEN V CHARLES ROOM. This defendant wu convicted, it may be remembered, a session or two ago of indecently exposing himself in an om nibus, and a question u to whether an omnibus was a pub lic place wain:. the meaning of the act of parliament was reserved for the Court of Criminal Appeal. Judgment having been given in that court against the prisoner he was now brought up to receive sentence. Mr. Serialist Adams (who took his seat about one o'clock) having made some vary severe observations on the pri soner's conduct. sentenced him to one year's hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. Junes Joy was plaiwd at the bar before Mr. Alderman Ilumphery, charged with being lit the Royal British Bank, in Tnkenh , itivi-yard. with intent to commit a IAWIr. William Thoroughgood, one of the messengers of the bank, said he saw the prisoner in front of the eounte► watch ing the customers very eagerly. After walking up and down a little, the prisoner stopped at a desk opposite the I counter, opened his pocket-book, and pretended to write, but continued watching the customers. Witness then went up to him and inquired his business, upon which the pri soner appeared rather indignant, and refused to tell. W'it ness took him into the cashier's office, and informed the chief cashier that prisoner was one of the swell mob. Oa being requested again to render some account of himself, he said he thought of opening an account with the Royal Bri tish Bank, awl went there to look round the place first, and to inquire the particulars with regard to the bank terms. He however refused to give his address, alleging be had done nothing ; but the chief cashier told him that " pre vention was better than cure," and accordingly gave him into custody. Spittle, the detective officer, said he had frequently seen the prisoner in company with suspected persons ; and found on him at the station fit. 9s. in a porte monaie, a gold watch, and a diamond ring. Mr. Ballantine, who appeared for the prisoner, asked if the alderman intended to commit the prisoner for being found in a dwelling. house, or in a place of public resort with intent to commit a felony ? Alderman Humphery said he thought of committing him on the latter charge. Mr. Ballantine said he wished to know, because he should appeal on the ground that the Bank was not a place of public resort. Alderman Humphrey said in that ease he would commit him upon the charge of being found in a dwelling-house. Mr. Ballantine said that it ought to be shown first whether the Bank was a dwelling-house or not. Alderman Humphrey said tnat could easily be shown, and accordingly recalled the first witness, wl o proved that one of the clerks and one of the messengers lived on the , premises, and had access to all parts of the Bank during the night. Mr. Ballantine contended that the Bank was not • dwelling-house in the ordinary sense of the term, and if the prisoner were committed on that point to would appeal against the magistrate's decision. Mr. Humphrey said, if the man was an honest man, he could have no objection to state his address, and if it was found correct, it would save ali parties a great deal of incon venience. Mr. Ballantine said the prisoner might have a hundred reasons, and all very proper ones, for Hot telling where he lives ; but he does not wish his friends to know he has been in custody, and moreover he considers this inquiry, as far as the bank is concerned, extremely impertinent. Alderman Humphrey said he did not doubt it in the least; but before going any further into the case lie wished to know if the bank would prosecute in the event of an appeal. The solicitor for the Royal British Bank said it was most important to the interest of the bank to prosecute, and it was their intention to resist an appeal, if such a course should be resorted to. Alderman Humphrey said, then he would commit the prisoner as a ro ue and a vagabond, under the Vagrant Act, for 14 days. - In the course of the afternoon the prisoner gave notice of appeal, and put in ball for his appearance at tho Quarter Seuions. MARKETS. COTTON.—LtTanroor., JUNE 13.—The tales of cotton to-day are estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 are for expor, and 4,000 oa speculation, and they include 3,000 Pernam and Maranham, at 6ld. to 7}d.; 100 Bahia, at 61d.; 300 Egyptian, at 61.1. to 81d. ; and 1,000 Surat, at 311. to 41d. The market closes firmly, with a hardening tendency, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of American are tight, aad all kinds without change. COALS.—Lownozr, Justs 13.—Ships at market, 47; sold, 26.—Walls End Framwellgate, 15.. 3d. ; Eden Main, 15s. ; Walls End Bell, 15s. ; Walls End Lombton, 161. ; Walls End Stewart's, 16r. ; Walls End Cassop, 15s. 6d. ; Walls End Richardson's Tees, 14s. 311.; Birebgrove Graigola, 235. ; Fothergitl's Aberdare Steam, 229. ; Llangennech, 235.; Powell's Duffryn Steam, 235. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, June 13.—We have reports of considerable Ay in several districts of the plantations, and prices have advanced from 6s. to 81. per cwt. Mid and East Kents 1965. to 1625. ; 190 s. to 1401.; Weald of Kent', 120 s. to 1405.; Sussex, 115 s. to 130 s. idEntwourit.—There is a little fly, but nothing to hurt at present. In some grounds the bine is rather short, owing it is thought, to the wetness of the winter aad spring, which has injured the stock. STAPLZHURST.—The bine is looking remarkably well in some places ; but when we had the wet so very severe, it is by no means what could be wished. The fly is not very prce.dent yet; one or two upon a leaf upon an average. The nidget has been busily employed dialing the week. YALDINO AND WEST IARLiIOH.—Tbe bine continues to progrese, but the fly has now decidedly made its appear ance. As yet we have not much, but must expect them every day. Blight would be a source of regret, as we have so few hops on hand. I:Lcomits.—Tle bine is growing fast, but some is still weakly. On the bth inst., the first fly—one or two—was observed here. On the 6th there was an increase ;on the 7th, ten or twelve upon a leaf under the hedges; on the Bth, a further increase ; on the 10th, a diminution ; and on the llth, very little to be found. Wataxn•in.—The bine is growing luxuriantly, and the favourable weather of the put week has done wonders for the hop garden. On Tuesday, one or two fly on a leaf were to he seen here and there; but the follow ing day, being dull and favourable for them, as many as tarty and fifty have been counted on a leaf. They do not like the scorch ing rays of the "orb of day ;" all depends on the weather. If we have a continuation of such weather as to-day (Ilth June), the fly will do little damage ; on the contrary, we go into a black blight cafe. The flea still stick to the bine, following them up to the head leaves. TOXIMIDOE.—ihere has been a considerable increase of fly during the last few days, front ten to thirty on a leaf may be found in many situations. Fortunately a great number of fly geldings are on the alert. The bine hu pro gressed satisfactorily during the last few wenn days, not withstanding the enemies that have beset it. OTHAX.—The hops in most of the plantations have grown rapidly during the put week ' • but there are some gardens which are still lagging behind. _ MARDEN.—Thebiue is growing fast in some plantations. The fly s eery numerous. WHOTICAII(UPPER).—The bine is growing fast, but fly bits made its appearance in the last few days. The land works badly for want of rain, whi.:li would be of great service. ROLVENDEN.—The hops are very uneven ; some grow very fast, others are weakly, and cannot do much. The fly is on the increase. ATLEBFORD.—The bine is making rapid progress owing to the warm days we have lately had. The flea has not at all decreased in number, but cannot now do much mischief. The fly made its appearance at the beginniog of the week, and there is now no difficulty in findicif fo ir or live on a leaf. Unless we have hot dry weather, judging by present appearances, there will be but little chance of a full crop. _ . _ 13mm/et:l.—The bine is growing fast where it is strong ; of flea there is very little ; of lice scarcely any at present, but of fly a good deal; as many as three on a leaf have been found. The fly, however, is by no means general. Some of the grounds continue very short of bine, and have not a healthy appearance. We cannot calculate upon a crop this season. BOUGHTON BIONCHELSEA. —Our bine is very uneven —not even, as min-stated last week. The strong blue is doing well, but fly is getting numerous, and already pre sents an appearance very much like,a blight. A crop now seems very unlikely. CRANBROOK.—The bine in the best gardens is growing fast, but the grounds which have rain in such a position as to retain the excessive moisture in the winter and spring have progressed but sluggishly. There is a considerable quantity of fly observable at places; 17 have been found located on one small leaf. CHART SUTTON.—The bine has grown rapidly this week, and improved in colour. We had a great deal of fly on Monday and Tuesday, bat there is not so much as there was. MALTING (West).—The bine grows very fast ; pieces of weak bine have very much improved this week, and the ground in general works well. LAME AND FLAG RAGGED SCHOOLS.—Last even ing the eighth annual meeting of the friends and support ers of these schools, was held in the school-room, Amwell street, Pentonville. The Earl of Kintore in the chair. The meeting was numerously attended. The report stated that the improvement of the children was evident.* The enlargement of the schools had been completed, and they were re-opened in December last. All debts had been liquidated, and 251. carried to the general school ac count. Since the re-opening of the schools, the average attendance bad been to the day school, 301 ; infant school, 140, Sunday school 382 (of this number 51 belongedto the. Bible and 42 to the Testament classes) ; and evening school 180—total, 1,003. The report then stated that 2,846 Bibles, prayer books, and other useful books, together with 320 copy books, had been distributed to the children. The deposits in the clothing fund amounted to 221. 13s. 65., and the premiums, 61. 19s. 9d., and 389 articles of clothing had been given to the children during the year. On the motion of the Rev. Canon Champneye, the report was adopted, and resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the meeting were passed, and a vote of thanks to the Earl of Kintore closed the proceedings. TILE ROYAL GARDEN AT HOLYROOD PALACE.- 1 I cannot help noticing a disgraceful fact, which has only lately oorne to my knowledge. There is adjoining the l'a lace of Rolyrood an ancient garden of the old kings of Scotland : in it is a curicus sun-dial, with Queen Mary's name on it. There is a pear-tree planted by her hands, and there are many other deeply interesting traces of the royal race, who little dreamed how their old stately places were to be profaned, after they themselves were laid in the dust. The garden of the Royal Stuarts is now let to a market gardener: Are there no true hearted Scotchmen left who will redeem it from such desecration ?—.Vores and Queries. KY HER auur.irrK 1:(1Y.%11.

SUICIDE IN VICTORIA PARx.—Yesterday morning at an early hour, considerable excitement prevailed among the inhabitants of South Hackney and Bethnal-green. in consequence of the body of a gentleman being discovered suspended to one of the upper branches of a lofty tree in the enclosure of Victoria Park, near the eastern lodge gate. Shortly after six o'clock, when Bryan, a park-keeper, was proceeding along the gravel walk towards the principal en trance of the park, his attention was attracted to something on one of the trees, and upon making a closer inspection of the tree, he found a male person hanging to one of the branches directly over Ms head. The officer could not reach the body, but ran for the assistance of another constable, and gave an immediate alarm. A ladder was procured, and with considerable difficulty the dictated was cut down, but the body was warm. Mr. Alfred Bother, the surgeon of South Hackney, was soon in attendance, and rendered every aid, but all cffarts to restore animation were fruitless. The deceased was respectably dressed, and was suspended by a silk pocket handkerchief. In his pockets were found two keys, eleven duplicates, a purse, black had pencil, a pen-knife, and twopence in coppers. Mr. Vaughan, the coroner's officer for Bethnal-green, subsequently took charge of the holy, which was conveyed to the Victoria public-house, and from inquiry since made by the constable, he ascertained the deceased's name was William Trimlett, aged 34 years, whose friends reside at No. 29, New-street, i'hilpott-street, Mile-end Old Town. The cause of the r.ish act could not be ascertained. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS. BIRTHS. BEARD.—Jane 10, at Welbeek-stteet,Cavendish.stiunre, Mrs. f. C Beard. of a son.
