LONDON, F 1: IDA Y, .4 UGUST 14. CLEAN Bread is certainly one of the chief neces saries of life, but it seems to be something beyond the reach of Londoners. A few months ago we heard a good deal of a Company which was to supply the metropolis with loaves of unimpeachable purity. The bread was to be made by machine power, and the most scrupulous attention was to be paid to every detail of the manufacture. Copious extracts were published from Mr. TanmEN BEER's reports, to show theabominationsof our ordi• nary bakehouses. We were told, until our stomachs sickened, of the foul, unsavoury, verminous condi tion of the ovens and workshops; of the unhealthi ness and uncleanliness of the journeymen, of the prolonged hours of toil, and of the animal impurities which necessarily result from the manual process. We were even treated to a picture portraying the horrors of that process, and contrasting it with the cleanliness and comfort of the production by machinery—a picture at which, probably, few who glanced once ever glanced a second time. Unfor tunately, there was a great deal of truth in these denunciations of the common mode of bread making. In a large number of our London bake houses it is detestably filthy. We should be thankful that the human mind is generally so unimaginative, so prone to take accustomed things without investigation, and with no speculative, inward eye; for a too curious regard to such matters might result in our being unable to eat anything at all. A Machine Bread Company, however, forced us to think a little of the com position of our daily loaves, and it found its account in so doing. It invited us to come and eat clean bread, and a great many accepted the invitation. The regular bakers experienced a sensible diminution in their customers. By-and-by, however, people found that the machine bread was not so good as they expected ; that it had fallen off ; that there were manifest impurities of some kind in it ; that it sometimes turned black, and sometimes got mouldy with undue haste. Complaints were made at the Brompton establishment, and one of the bakers was dismissed. The man, conceiving himself unjustly treated, sued the Company on Wednes day in the Sheriffs' Court, and some strange rc velations came out. In cross-examination the plaintiff admitted that he had been discharged for making bad bread ; but he added that he could "explain that." The German yeast, he said, was "completely rotten, and running over with mag " gots." Furthermore, he had bad potatoes, and the " flour was very queer." Knowing that he was working for a Company which specially prided itself on the cleanliness of its bread, he spoke to the manager, but was told he must do the best he could with his materials. Thus, ac cording to this statement, the bread was filthy and adulterated. The public will probably be sur prised to hear that when they pay for bread made of corn flour they get it made partly of potatoes, which, it is known, contain a very much smaller proportion of nourishment. Ara even the corn flour, so called, is mixed with the meal of beans. " The manager told me," said the plain tiff, "that they were obliged to get things at cheap " prices, so that something could be put before " the shareholders, as they were doing very badly. " I have had to use yeast completely rotten and " maggotty, and once I went to the board and " was refused admission. I had a sample of the " bad yeast. We had to squeeze out the moisture " through our fingers." To these assertions Mr. STEVENS, the managing director of the Company, and its originator, opposed a plain denial. He said that all the materials were good, that the bread was bad simply because the plaintiff was a bad workman, and that there was a design to injure the Company. An apparently strong point in favour of the defendants was the tact that the plaintiff's own brother, also in the service of the Company, appeared against him ; but his testimony really damaged Mr. Sri:yews, and strengthened the case against him. The witness said that he examined some bread at the Brompton establishment which had turned bad in consequence of the potatoes being bad, and he "believed the " flour was the same." He admitted that his brother was a good workman, but thought there was a conspiracy against the machine bread. Another of the witnesses for the Company acknowledged that yeast of a questionable kind had been used with his sanction, but added, for the comfort of those who had eaten the bread so made, that it "was not partiodarly bad." The same witness added—" I have seen German yeast " on the Company's premises with maggots in it, " but not for use. Potatoes are used in our " bread, and it is customary for millers to put in " bean flour to the wheat flour. A bean was " found one day in the flour." After all this, the Judge's decision will surprise no one. He "did " not think the Company had made out their de " fence," and therefore found for the plaintiff, with costs. We have drawn the attention of our readers to this cue with some regret. The process of bread making by machinery is in itself so commendable, and is one in which the public have so serious an interest, that anything which retards its general introduction is a misfortune. We see no reason to be hard upon Mr. STEVENS himself for the bad state of the yeast and flour. He has, it appear., several large establishments to overlook, and he may have been entirely ignorant of the objection able materials that were being used at Brampton. Perhaps bread-making by • Company is on too large • scale to be kept well in band. We recollect how fairly the League Freed Com pany started, some sixteen or seventeen years ago, and bow its commodities deterio rated. A vast stock of flour and yeast must be constantly in use, and if it becomes !riled there is no doubt a great temptation to cook ii up in some way or other to avoid a heavy loss, which would tell on the dividends. Of course the revelations in the Sheriffs' Court prove nothing against the principle of making bread by machinery. But the public will naturally say that it matters not to them hot , : their loaves become foul if such be the result. The Company must look more THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1863. sharply to these matters if they would hold their own. For the present, the dirty baker have their revenge, and they will certainly make the most of it. THE ENGLISH ROYAL FAMILY AT BRUSSELS. (naarra•s nLaGRAIL) BRUSSELS, Ammar 14. The English and Belgian royal families drove out yesterday at Brussels. A grand dinner was given yesterday at Lacken. Both the royal families, with the exception of the King and her Majesty Queen Victoria, were present, with a part of their suite, at the Saint Hubert Theatre yesterday evening. Mr. Marshall Wood, the sculptor, has (aays the Le, do Aftrenry) received a commission from Mr. John Craw. ley to execute two buata of the Prince and Princess of Wales, in marble, to commemorate the royal visit to Halifax. The Marquis of Exeter is improving in health. The noble martinis and marchioness remain at present in town. The Marchioness of Kildare and her infant son are both progressing favourably, according to the ►ccount s received io town yesterday from Carton House, Maynooth. The Countess Cowley and Lady Feodorowna Wellesley left town yesterday for Paris. The Earl of Wilton left town yesterday afternoon to meet his yacht, the Zara, in the Southampton Water, in order to proceed to Cowee for the close of the yachting season. The Earl Cawdor and a select party have arrived at Candor Castle, Nairnshire, for the shootind season in the north. Viscount and Viscountess Ilawarden arrived on Tuesday last at Dublin, en route to Dundrum Park, Tip perary. Lord and Lady De Saumarez have gone to Dover for a few weeks. Lord and Lady Lyndhurst have taken up their residence at Tunbridge-wells. The noble and learned lord is in excellent health, and intends to remain at that favourite watering-place until October. Mr. Evan and Lady Georgiana Baillie have ar rived at Dochfour, N. 8., where they will receive a cams sloe of guest' daring the shooting 10.1 BOD in Scotland. Mr. and Lady Margaret Beaumont are enter taining a small party of friends at Alleeheacls, near Carlisle. Amongst the visitors are Lord and Lady Suffield, Sir John Shelley, M.P., Mr. Bonham Carter, M.P., Le. Mr. and Lady Emily Walsh have arrived within the hat few days at Fannich, N. 8., to pass the shootiog mason. Yesterday the marriage of Lady Alice Magdalena Grey Egerton, youngest daughter of the Earl of Wilton, and Mr. Henry Dalrymple bee V,eux took place at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. The wedding was con sidered K private one, and only the immediate and most intimate relatives and friends assembled at the ceremony. The Hon. and Rev. Francis E. Cecil Byng, sou of the Earl of Strafford, officiated, the bride being given away by her father, the Earl of Wilton. are informed that many persons of influence have given in their adhesion to it. The above article attracts, owing to the former reputation of the Debuts, a great deal more atten tion than it deserves. It was explained some time ago, that a particular shareholder in the Debate has the power to insist occasionally upon the insertion of articles totally hostile to the general spirit of the redaction of that journal. If such articles appear too frequently, the trivial reservation " we leave the entire responsibility of this communication to our correspondent " will not save the credit of the paper. The Passe, to-night, in its money article, ' observes that the Debts completely misled the public a week ago by a publication of this peculiar kiud, which it was subsequently compelled to admit in a leader to have been altogether wrong. The Patrie says :—" Whether derived from Russian or Austrian sources, the aim and object of the correspondence in the Debats is the loss of the Polish cause." The Pays ob serves that the present elaborate sketch of a di plomatic scheme for a settlement is the fourth which the Dbats bas ventilated within a short time. Not believing this communication from mysterious " correspondents" to have any better foundation than the three others, the Pays recommends the public to be on its guard against a fresh deception. Bottlier's Correspondence says that these pretentious communications of the Debate are dished up to serve Russian purposes by M. Genie, formerly private secretary to M. Guizot. . . The arts have sustained an immense loss in the death of M. Eugene Delacroix, who succumbed this morning to an affection of the chest from which ho had been suffering' for the last two months. He was 66 years of age. This distinguished artist, on leaving the Louis le Grand College at the age of 18, commenced his career in the studio of Pierre Guerin, where he was a fellow pupil with Guericault and Ary Scheffer. The first picture that he exhibited was " Dante and Virgil," which appeared iu the Salon of 1822, and at once made him celebrated, although the merits of his work were betty contested. M. Thiers, at that time the fine arts critic of the Constittetionnel, stood for ward as one of M. Delacroix's most ardent admirers. The following are some of the best-known pictures which appeared in succeeding exhibitions :-1824, "The Massacre of Scio ;" 1826, "The Death of the Doge Marino Faliero ;" " Greece, on the Ruins of Missolonghi ;" 1827, "Christ in the Garden of Olives ;" " Faust and Mephistophiles ;" " The Shepherd in the Campagna of Rome ;" "A young Turk caressing his Horse ;" "Milton dictating 'Paradise Lost ;' " " The Death of Sarlanapalus." 1828, " Cardinal Richelieu ;" "The Combat of the Giaour and the Pacha." 1831, " Liberty guiding the People on the Barricades ;" "The Death of the Bishop of Liege." 1833, " Charles V. at the Monastery of St. Just." 1834, "The Battle of Nancy ;" "The Convent of Dominicans at Madrid ;" "The Women of Algiers." 1835, "The Prisoner of Children." 1836, " Saint Sebastian." 1837, "The Battle of Taillebourg." 1838, "Me dea." 1839, "Cleopatra ;" " Hamlet contem plating Yorick's Skull." 1840, "The Justice of Trojan." 1841, " The Taking of Constantinople by the Crusaders ;" "A Wedding iu Morocco." 1846, "The Parting of Romeo and Juliet." 1855, " Doge Foscari taking part in the Con demnation of his Son." 1859, " The Ascent to Calvary ;" " Christ in the Tomb ;" " Ovid in Exile." Besides the above works M. Delacroix executed a great many decora tive paintings for the Chamber of Deputies, the Chamber of Peers, and the Apollo Gallery and Throne-room in the Louvre. He was a contributor to the Recce des Deux Mundes, and on the death of Paul Delaroche in 1857 was elected a member of the Institute. Grand fetes are being prepared at Cherbourg on the occasion of the sailing match organised by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. A numerous flotilla of elegant yachts are to sail on Monday next from the starting point, the Isle of Wight, for Cherbourg, the one arriving first to receive a prize of 50,000 fr. On Tuesday there will be jousts and a regatta under the patronage of Vice-Admiral do Chabannes- Curton, the maritime prefect, in which the boats of the port, of the yachts, and of the men of war will take part. In the evening a grand ball is to be given to the English visitors by the town, at the Hotel de Ville. On Wednesday the fetes will terminate by swimming matches in the large dock. For three days the roadstead will present a very animated scene, as four iron-dad vessels, two Prussian frigates, the English flotilla, and numerous steamers from Havre and other ports will be there, all dressed out in flags. The Journal de Saeeerre states that the waters of the Loire have never before been so low there as at present. That great stream, which has so often ravaged the country for leagues by its inundations, is now crossed, where it bounds the Nievre and Cher, both on foot and iu carriages without difficulty or danger. Many of the inha bitants of Loges (Nievre) hold lands on the oppo site bank of the river, and have always been accustomed to carry their produce across in boats, but this year, in the beginning of the harvest, the water was too shallow for boats, and they were obliged to go round by the nearest bridge, a circuit of about four leagues. The water, how ever, has since fallen so low that they can cart all their corn across the bed of the river as safely as ou dry land. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) FRIDAY, ACGUST 14, 8 A.Y. THE TWELFTH OF AUGUST.. The shooting season at Crieff opened on Wednes day under the most favourable circumstances. The morn ing was bright, clear, and frosty, and immediately after daybreak both hill and dale reverberated with the almost in cessant discharge of guns. About ten o'clock, however, the wind began to blow in strong gust' at intervals, which con tinued the whole day, and operated in a great meat sure against successful shooting, and more especially on the hill tope. The Hon. J. C. Dundee was out on the Corriemuckloch Moon ; Messrs. Lascelles and Oliver at A ucbnafree ; Mr. George P. Gummi" and party at Feadach ; Sir Hugh Hums Campbell at Monde, which is among the best moon of Perthshire ; Messrs. Lnmsden and Muir tested the best runs of Glenturret ; Mr. Walker and partywere oat at Lochearnhead ; and the Hon. Gilbert Heatbcote, M.P., and Colonel Tyrwhitt on the Drummond Castle grounds. The sport generally was good, and seldom have grouse been seen eo strong, healthy, and wild so early in the season, for the coveys rose at a great distance, and were difficult to get within shot of. The boxes and hempen of game sent from the rail way station to the south on Wednesday afternoon were not so name:nue as in sonic previous years, but the birds were never seen in better condition. The Hon. Gilbert Heathcote, M.P., shot, s few days ago, fine fallow deer in the parks of Drummond Castle, and enjoyed good sport at wild duck shooting on Tuesday. The recent rains and warm weather have improved the broods of partridges, which are abundant on the hillsides and low lting farms, and in consequence of harvest being much earlier than last year, there never were better prospect" of good partridge shooting. In the forret' of Turlem and Gleaartney deer are swarming, sod in splendid condition, and royal beads promise to be unusually numerous this lesson. In addition to the sportsmen al ready arrived at Drummond Castle, Earl Sefton and several otbera are expected to-day (Thursday). The whole of the extensive shooting grounds belonging to the Right Hon. Lord Willoughby d'Eresby will afford excellent sport this season. At Auchterarder the morning of the Twelfth dawned most auspiciously for the sportsman, the weather being most delightful. There was a rather severe frost during the night, which made the scent lie strong; and a geode breeze which rose with daylight gave the dogs a wide range. A number of gentle men were early out, and made good bags—the returns bein s from fifteen to twenty-five brace to each con—which is nearly double of what was killed last year. The result of this day's sport has generally exceeded expectations, and sportsmen find that there will require to be no delay, as last year, in consequence of the birds not being full sized. The birds are found not so wild as was an ticipated, and much more easily approached to than in former years. The fashion which used to prevail in favour of a heavy bag on the Twelfth has greatly abated, and on the lower Perthshire moors sportsmen content themselves with a moderate use of their guns. Most of the beat moors on the Ochil range have not yet been opened, and will not likely be so till about the 20th.—Scotsman. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT or SCIENCE,-0n Wednesday morning an influential meeting was held in the Exchange-room, Nottingham, for the pur pose of adopting measures to obtain the meeting of the British Association in that town next year. After some discussion it was agreed to forward memorials to the Council, and to back the request by a deputation to consist of the Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. Paget, M.P., the Mayor, and others. The three places moat urgent for the meeting of the Association for next year are Birmingham, Bath, and Nottingham. LITURGICAL Revzsunt.--In the course of an address at Calder Vale, on Wednesday, the Bishop of Man chester alluded to the agitation in favour of a revision of the Liturgy, and said he believed that the time was coming when it would perhaps be necessary to make some conces sions to the conscientioce feelings of "a few." THE LATE ACCIDENT TO COLONEL LINDSAY.—We are informed that Colonel the Hon. C. H. Lindsay has passed two good nights, and is progressing as favourably as possible. DEATH OF THEVEN. ARCHDEACON FREER, D.D.— The Venerable Richard Lane Freer, D.D., Archdeacon of Hereford, prebendary of the cathedral church and rector of Biahopetone, M the environs of the city, died on Tuesday at his rectory house, after a long Moms. He was one of the most respected and popular clergymen in Hereford shire, and, as a leading Freemason, held a high position in the city and neighbourhood. DEATH or MR. WILLIAM BAGNALL—We (Birnt,:nglta),t Part) announce today, with no ordinary lettings of regret, the death of this much respected gentleman—the head of one of the oldest firms engaged in the iron trade of this district. Few events of Grim character will have canned so serious a shock to a large circle of friends, the calamity being no sudden arid unexpected. Mr. Bevan wan in his usual health, and dined with a party of friends on Tuesday, He was taken poorly on Wednesday morning, but for some hours no danger wee anticipated. Death, however, took pace ir. the evening at 6 o'clock, at bin residence, Hampstead Hall. Mr. Bastian W. high sheriff of the county. MELANf 'HOLY DEATH OF A LIVERPOOL LADY.-- Yeatenky. the Liverpool deputy coroner held an inquest on the body of a married lady named Brown, the wife of the deputy manager of one of the local banks. One day last week the deceased, being unwell, took a blue pill and a black draught, and having to lie in bed, she sent her err vents to see the Great Eastern, her husband having in the meantime gone out to a dinner party. When the eervants returned home at night they found their mistress alive, but in a comatose state, and though medical aid was promptly procured the unfortunate lady died in the course of the night. The medical men not being able to account for the death of Mrs. Brown, a poet mortern examination was merle, and the intestines handed over for analysis to Dr. Edwanle, who found them saturated with laudannro. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from the effects of opium, carelesely dispensed by Edw ar d Paulo°, the chemists who supplied the medicines. CRYSTAL PALACE.

A despatch from Kienigsberg, dated the 13th, says :—" An individual, suspected of being a Russian spy, having disappeared in the village of Szcruka, iu the government of Grodno, the whole place was set fire to by order of Mouravieff ; all the inhabitants were taken to Urbasowka, two leagues from Groduo, there surroundol by sol diers, and condemned to die of hunger. Seven persons had already expired when the account came off." A despatch from Cracow of the 13th says : "The detachment of insurgents commanded by Callier, attacked, three days back, a squadron of Rusaian lancers at Raszyn, two leaguee from War saw. The latter were put to the rout and fled to wards the capital." The Austrian Gazette announces that there are at the present moment in Podlschia and the Palatinate of Lublin no less than eleven detachments of Polish insurgents. The baud of Eminowiez has beaten the Russians near Chelm. THE FRANKFORT CONGRESS. A communication front Vienna, dated the 13th, says that " the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- Schwerin has accepted the invitation of the Em peror of Austria for the Congress at Frankfort. The King of Holland will be represented there by Prince Henry, but he will pay a visit to the Em peror while he is at Frankfort." The Vienna correspondent of the Times says: • ' Early in the morning of Friday, the 14th instant, hie Majesty will leave for Frankfort, and it is under stood that he will stop for a short time at Stuttgardt iu order that he may have the pleasure of taking the King of Wurtemberg, who is eighty-two year. of age, by the hand. Count Rechberg will leave for Frank fort in the evening of Thursday, as he purposes paying a flying visit to his brother, who resides near Esslingen, to Wurtemberg. The King of the last-mentioned country will be represented at Frankfort by his son, the Crown Prince Charles, who is married to the Grand Duchess Olga, the fa vourite daughter of the late Emperor of Russia. Three days ago the Hereditary Prince of Frani& was summoned by telegraph to Gastein, and we learn from Salzburg that be pared through that city during the night of Sunday, the 9th inst. 50 or 00 horses, several court carriages, and a large quantity of plate are slready on their way to Frankfort, and on Thursday a part of the German Guard ►nd a de tachment of Court Gendarmes, ell of whom are non-corn missioneal officers, will leave for that city. Several arch dukes, the members of the Cabinet, and many of the dignitaries of the Court, will accompany the Emperor to the terminals on Friday, aa his Majesty wishes it to be understood that be attache' the very highest importance to the stop which he is about to take, and that he, the head of the German confederation, goes to Frankfort in order to try to persuade his fellow monarchs to agree to a reform of the bond—a thing which the German nation has long and ardently desired.

I find now much confirmation of the opinion which I unhesitatingly expressed from the first, and have persisted in, notwithstanding the hardy asseverations of La France, that the Archduke Maximilian will not be allowed to be an accomplice of the French game in Mexico. I read to-night in the Patrie : Private correspondence from Vienna gives rs to under stand that the Austrian cabinet is far from receiving a ith satisfaction the news of the election of the Archduke Maximilian to the throne of Mexico. Most of the Vienna journals expressed themselves on the very day when this unexpected news became known in terms which would have rendered the reproduction of their articles in France rather hazardous.—[Note this curious admission, that while the much telegraphed France was affirming that the archduke hat accepted and that England would recognise the new throne, the Vienna journals were writing against the juggle in terms which the Paris press dares not quote']—There wu a mixture of anger and irony in these articles quite at variance with the ordinary modera tion of the Austrian press. Now, these journals have be come milder in form, but in substance their opposition re main,' the same The Vienn► Preaae says that the acceptance of the archduke would be a fatal mistake, since it would make Austria dependent upon France. Mgr. Labastide, the Archbishop of Mexico, and one of the triumvirate, had a long interview with the Emperor to-day at St. Cloud. The DThats publishes another of those long com munications about Russia and Austria which it seems to have the peculiar good fortune of alone receiving among the whole of the Paris press, but which rumour declares to emanate from one of the northern embassies at Paris. The date of the present information is the 9th, and the missive purports to come from Vienna. Its object is to, announce a new combination emanating from Austrian statesmen of consideration for the set tlement of the Polish question. After two long columns of preliminary explanations, the Debuts states the proposed plan in these terms : The Austrian statesmen have inquired if it was not pos sible for the patties concerari to reassure each other reci procally by preliminary engagements contacted by an ex change of despatches. They are convinced that this may be done, and that by those means a satisfactory conclusion may be arrived at. Thin is the manner of proceeding which they think should be followed :—" Russia would ad dress to France, England, and Austria a fresh note, in which she would once more formally declare that she accepts the six points as the basis of the new organisation which she proposes to give to her kingdom of Poland ; that her will in irrevocable, and that she will pot it into execution as 1100114 a the insurrection shall be put down and material order re-established, or even without waiting for the ter mination of the insurrection, as soon as the governments of France, England, and Austria shall on their side have de clued to her that, by her acceptation of the six points and the execution of the measures which arise from that act, Russia will have fully satisfied their desires and the rights of Poland founded upon the treaties. France, England, sad Austri► would on their side declare in a collective note, or in separate despatches, that they are convinced of the sincerity and uprightness of the inactions of Russia ; that they take note of her acceptation of the six points as being calculated to serve as a bails fur the future re•organia tion of Poland, ►nd that when that re-organisation shall be properly accomplished, Russia will have responded to their desires, as she will have given to the rights of Poland a satisfaction founded upon treaties. After those prelimina ries, the Russian government would flidnoise Poland im mediately and in conformity with her engagements ; if the interpretation of some of the six points gave rise to dame. ties, the five great poems would immediately assemble in a conference to decide on them; and, when the work was terminated, it would be communicated to those powers which signed the final act of the Congress at Vilma." The authors of this project are convinced that the insurrection would be quelled as soon as Poland was informed of tan defi nitive declaration of the pawers.

LM RE OOLONLL WM:WM.-APPLICATION FOR APPOISTIITYr OF AN ACCOUNTANT. Mr. &mood, on behalf of the bankrupt, said he had to apply to the court in this cue to allow ao accountant to he appointed, to moist the bankrupt in the pre paration of his accounts. There were matters of extreme complication running over a long period of time, and Colonel Waugh himself was utterly incompetent, physically, as well as from other circum stances, to make them out himself ; and they were matters in which the official reignse was unable to render the bankrupt the ordinary assistance. He asked that an ee -1 countant should be appoioted, ►nd the expense paid out of the estate. Notice of the application had been given to Mr. Linklater so representing the assignees. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said this was one of those special cases in which an application of this kind ought to be granted, as well for the sake of the creditors as of the bankrupt. He had no objection to the appointment of an accountant, to be paid out of the estate. Mr. C. E. Lewis, on behalf of the official manager of the London and E.aatern Bank, concurred in the view taken by the assignees, and said he was glad that Colonel Waugh was now anxious to give that information which he had so long withheld. . . .

Charles Brown and Du bois might be appointed the accountants to assist the bank rupt in the preparation of his Recounts, the expense to be defrayed oat of the estate. These gentlemen had been ap proved by the assignees. The appointment was then made, and the examination meeting was fixed for the 3rd November. (Before Mr. Commissioner Face.) IN RE T. P. BURROUGHS. The bankrupt, an attorney, of Yerinootb, applied for his order of discharge. Debts, 3,480 f. ; emote of trifling amount. Mr. R. Gnffitha, for the assignees, did not oppose. Mr. Bagley opposed for Mrs. Coleman, a creditor. Of his debts of 3,4831., 2,182/. wasallejed to be due to his father for cash advanced. The father was the assignee, and the other creditors wero desirous of an investigation. They wished for a cash account showing the application of the money. Mr. Sargood, for the bankrupt, resisted the application. The opposing creditor was the bankrupt's mother-iml•w. For good reasons he bad separated from bis wife, who was living with her mother, and had an income of 501. a year under • settlement. Notwithstanding this, Mrs. Coleman had brought actions against the bankrupt for the maintenance of his wife, and had obtained judgment against him. In February, 1861, the bankrupt's wife bed sued him in the Divorce Court for a restitution of conjugal rights ;in June, 1862, her petition was dismissed. He had charged her with adultery, but this not being proved, the bankrupt could not obtain • judicial separation. The application for soconota was a mere pretence to delay the bankrupt obtaining his order, for all the information sought was already on the file. Hie Honour said he had a very strong impression on the case, but he would look through the papers before giving his decision. The bankrupt, a solicitor, of the Strand, applied for his order of discharge. His Honour now gave judgment. He said the bankrupt ha•l been committed at the suit of the Rev. Thomas Martin for a debt of 140!. They had been en gaged together in a periodical publication, which was un sucsaissfuL There hid been proceedings in law and equity, and Westbrook hal been committed for non.comphance with an order of the Master of the Rolle.
