LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Coannieskeer Goldin:raj Le as JACOBS. The bankrupt was a solicitor's clerk, of Horton. Mr. R. Griffiths opposed the bankrupt's application for i release, on the ground that he was in custody for a debt contracted by a breech of trust. The Commissioner—And does that appear by the pro. ccedinp? That is the point. Mr. Griffiths said the bankrupt hal been clerk to Mr. Spyer, solicitor, who bad entrusted Dim with a sum of money, and the bankrupt had applied it to his own pur pose'. The Commissioner—Does that appear by a judgment? Mr. Griffiths said it did not, but the court bad held in the case of A. Logan that parole evidence might be given of a debt being contracted by freed. His Honour said that was a ease where the conduct of the bankrupt was so outrageous and fraudulent that the court, in the exercise of its discretion, bad refused his re. lame. Mr. Griffiths proposed to examine Mr. Spyer in proof of the hand. Mr. Nicholson, who appeared for the bankrupt, objected that evidence of conduct could not be given at this stage. His Honour concurred. If the bankrupt had acted as stated he might have here criminally indicted. Mr. Griffiths mid that if the charge were reserved until the bat sitting he should not be able to bring the °sae 'coder the 159th section, as breach of trust was not one of the offences against the bankrupt law recognised by the new act. Here the bankrupt bad applied to his own purposes 301. of the money of his employer. The Commissioner—Assuming these facts to be proved, that is not a ease within the act of parliament to refuse the bankrupt's release. Were 7to bold so, we most let in every aggrieved creditor to oppose a bankrupt's raisins from custody. The legislature has clearly pointed out the time when the bankrupt's conduct and mode of contracting his debts are to be considered; not on his application for release from custody, but on applying for his order of discharge. In some rare cases, which I hops will not inmates In number, the fraud has been so outrageous as to Woes the court to exercise Ito discretionary power, and to refuse the release. Here the employer of the ban krupt bare not treated the matter as a crime, but as a debt ; • and were I now to entertain this application, the bankrupt would be punished twice f or the same offence. The power of release was no doubt given to the court in favour of the creditors in ceder that they might have the benefit of the bankrupt's swish ince ; but it is now generally employed by the debtors for the sake of obtaining their release. In this case I see no objection to the bankrupt being released from custody. 121 Si ZOOM VACHER. The bankrupt was a commission agent, trading under the firm of " Baker sod G 0.," in Watling-street and other This was an adjourned application for rebus rem custody. He owes 2,7201. of which 1,0001. is stated to be doe to Mr. Year Morison, late of the Bank of Deposit. He attributes his Insolvency to bad debts sad hardness of trade. A former application for release, made on the 7th of September, was refused because the bankrupt was insufficiently de scribed in the petition. He was now described as of Albert.. terrace, Riper/der, and of Church-street, St. John's-wood; cf Bichmoad-mad, Bayswater ; of Brockaley-vilhs, Homer. ton; of Lime-street, of Crutchedfriars, of Canterbary-ter room, Bermondsey; of Howley.place, Lambeth; and of Watliog-street. Mr. Dowse opposed, on behalf of the opposing erudite!, Mr. Catio. Though the bankrupt had amended his peti tion, his description was still inamorata, for he bad omitted one meet Importimt place of residuum. His Honour mid that that was rather ground for die. Edwin the petition than refusing . the application for release. Mr. Dowse mid this was a registrar's adjudication. The bankrupt had contracted 2,7001. of debt in three yews, and be was bound to let the creditors know all the places when be had lived or carried on business and contrasted debt.. He led added five addresses to his original descriptwa, and stated that he had traded as "Baker and " Co.;had also traded " Lemon: sad 0a.," and of this ;hew was no mention in his petition. He was now informed that this was not a registrar's adjudication, but that the bankrupt bed petitioned in forml pauptais. Mr. F. Saddler, builder sod painter, of ChaaomT•laila, deposed that at the letter end of last year he knew the bankrupt sa alielato rheum is Lambeth. He gave a re ceipt as "E. Baker and Co.* In May list he Hawed some zinc plates to be engraved " Lamm and Co." saying that be had taken a freed partner. Had seen the plates up at his place in Watlingutreet. Hie debt to the saner was 241. His Hower .id it was clear the bankrupt had ad In serted all the names tinder which be had traded. The bankrupt, in examinatioo, stated that be had neither been bankrupt nor insolvent before. He expected Mr. La mour to join him as a partner, but his promisee turned out to be nothing but smoke. (A laugh.) The phew were ordered by him as clerk to Mr. Lemony — His Honour said the bankrupt not having stated all the names under which he had traded, the court refused to grant the release IN RH !LIZA ASHWORTH. This was as bmotreaty cue. Mr. K. Reed asked for a re veeting order (equivalest to annulling is a heakraptcy), and stated that all .*a creditors had been sathded. The report of Hr. lam the registrar had been made, stating that all nemesia, pr d imicatiss kid been complied with. His Hoocar declined to make the order without the at- Madames at Mr. lamb. There were creditors to them:boast of 4,0004, and in such an important case he would not act without the mod conclusive stridence. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the AssistontJadia.)

Mr. Francis Bowden, a barrister, of No. 5, Well-walk, Hampstead, said that yesterday afternoon as he was pro ceeding in the direction of Highgate he saw the prisoner sitting on the gram with a piece of paper in front of him, on which was wnken in very large letters, " Blearing and Hangear." The primmer had his arm in aiding, and seemed to be in great psis. He alsommeed his leg, on which were several moan wounds. The primmer did not ask for anythiug. bat his appearance was altogether so pitiable that he (witness) asked him what was the master with him.

He said that he would go with him ; bat from what afterwards came to his knowledge he gave the prisoner into custody. q uesti The prisoner said he did not with to ask the witness' any ons. Other evidence was then given to the effect that at the polireatation the primmer was made to take off a large quantity of bandage., which had the effect of making his arm appear double the size. Dr. Brown, of Hampstead, was asked to examine the prisoner. The prisoner told him that his arm had been broken twice, and that it bad been tin reoceeefully eat by the celebrated Dr. Hunter. That Dr. Brown knew to be false, as Dr. Hunter was dead before the prisoner was born. The arm was twice its natural size. He removed several bandages, and found a ligature formed of • long leather strap tightly fastened on the arm immediately below the shoulder. This so rocceeded is arresting the re turn of the blood to the heart as to give rise to as opdematoua state of the limbs below the ligature, and thereby stimu lated an abnormal state known as elephantiamis.

The annual general meeting 'of shareholders WAS held at 1 o'clock at the London Tavern, Mr. AIIDEISON io the chair. The report said : "The following is a list of the present ships of the com pany, with the stations on which they are serviog, vi z .:— Athena, 739 tons, 130 horse power ; Briton, 1,164 tons, 180 horse power ; Cambrion, 1,055 too; 183 horse power Roman, 1,282 tons, 220 horse power; Saxon, 1.141 tons, 220 horse power —on the Atlantic statics. Dens, 530 tuna, 60 horse power; Norman, 530 toes, 60 home power—on the colonial station, Cape of Good Hope to Natal. Anglian, 650 tam, 110 horse power—building. It was stated in the last report that the postal contract for the Cape of Good Hope service, for which tenders bad been invited, had been obtained by this company for • period of seven years, at a reduced rate, as compared with the pay ments under the former contract. The terms submitted for it were arranged on • graduated scale, commencing` with 25,0631. for the first year, and diminished annually t 015.000/. for the seventh year, making ao average of about 19,6006. • year. The arrangements for cootiottiog the mail service between the Cape of Good Hope sod Natal beyond yet been concluded, but the steamers Norman and Dane have been for the past eight months running between those colonies with the mails under a temporary agreement with the Natal government. In order to continue this service with greater convenience to the Natal community, the dine tors have contracted for the construction of • vessel of smolt a draft of water as will enable her to cross, at all times, • sand bar which obstructs the entrance into Natal harbour of any but vessels of light draft. This vessel is 660 tons measurement, sad 110 horse power; is to be called the Angilas, and is contracted to be reedy for service by the Ist March, 1864. The accounts show • small increase in the receipt, for freight and passage motley darter the put year. The Saxon and Roman, the two last vessels constrocted,have performed their voyages mod satidactorily, and the director' have again the pleasure of reporting that the company's operations during the past year have been carried on without any accident ; and that the postal service has been performed in • manner to obtain the entire approval of her Majesty's Postmaster-General and the poblic con cerned therewith, both in this country and the colonies. Is conclusion, the directors propose the payment of • dividend of 1/. per share, for the last half-year. cud also a bonus oat of the last year's earnings under the late portal contract of 10a. per share." The CHAIIMAN, In moving the adoption of the report and accounts, observed that the board had tendered to the Prat-ofges on • graduated scale beginning at 25.( . and diminishing in the muse of time to 15,000/. The object of that mode of tendering was to meet expected opposition, and negotiations were new going on with the government for commuting the meats for the seven years into even amount. The Me rally had been well maintained. The motion having been adopted, a dividend of It. per share and a bonus of It. per share were declared, and the meeting terminated in the usual maser. Tim Len Loan Liffrmmar.—On Sunday, some very intending particulars of the last years of LOVII Lynd. hunt were given in a torrid sermon preached after morning sorties in St. George's, Hroverequare, by the Rev. Hoary Howarth, RD., the rector, who had for many years past been ea intimate terms with his illustrious parishioner. The rev. gentleman took his text from Psalm go., 11, 12. "Who cousidereth the power of Th y wrath r tic. After a masterly analysis of this funeral psalm, which a tely enough happened to be 008 of th e psalms for day, Mr. Howarth proceeded to speak of the late peer. Public life had its grievous temptations. The time of statesmen was absorbed in the weightiest of human affairs. No doubt the work was great, and tree who did it worthily were public fooefecton, but it disposed them to take too little thought of reticle*. Many a public life has beta saddened at its close by this reflection, and be well knew that nothing so called forth Lord Lyndhurst's perpetual gratitude to God as that he had enabled him, by extendiog his life far beyond the allotted time, to "redeem the time." And nobly did he redeem the time. His mind was fully occu pied with the impntence of religion. He was incessant in the earnest preparations which he mode for death. He ap plied all the power of hie marvellous intellect and ell his apprehensive quickness to the study of religion. Greet as be was he bowed down before the grestoese of the Su= Being. Through religion his natural kindliness and disposition were refilled into the highest Christian which were profusely three in his relations with all who mom in contact with him—wife, daughter, servant., every body. His last articulate words were " Happy happy, happy," and happy be was indeed. Those who ministered to him knew his true humility, his hearty repenters, his serene and earnest hope. He died in pesos and charity with all mankind. The sermon was listened to with great rites time, sad at the conclusion the ' Dead March" in Saul was played on the organ. RUMOURED CAPTURE OF THE ALABAMA. A rumour was current on 'Change yesterday, bat which could not be tried to any reliable source, that the famous Confederate cruiser Alabama had been captured by the Fe deral war steamer Vanderbilt. The last that was heard of the Alabama was that she was off the Cape maids( for the Mauritius, with the object, it was ocajectured, of intercept ing homeward-hound American East India traders; but r the speed of the Vanderbilt is not equal to that of the Alabama, and as the captain and crew of the latter are determined to ge to any extremity lather thee that their reset should fell into the hands of the Federels, the tumor as to her capture received but little credit, and was net down as one of those numerous canards that have bre in circulation is reference to the same matter for some months pest. —Liverpool Mercury of this day.

MONEY MARKET.-(1711$ .1)11.Y.) Two o'OLocz. The stock markets to-day are quiet, and the amount of business is less than that of yesterday, yet the general tone is somewhat firmer. A tendency to improvement which was observable at the commencement of business, however, has not been fully maintained to the present hour. Atter improving 4 per cent., the funds have returned to the closing quotations of yesterday. Some of the more speculative foreign stooks, though below the best point of the morning, are quoted slightly better than they closed yesterday. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 67fr. 45c., and receded to 67fr. 37c., being about the same as yesterday. Consols are now quoted 93 to 4 for money, and 934 to 4 for the account (November 5). The official business report is as follows :- Three per Cent. Console, for money, 934, 93, 4 ; ditto for account, 934 ; Three per Cents. Re ' duced, 914, 4, ; New Three per Cents., 914, Bank Stock, 233, 2354 ; India Stock, 226, 224 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 109, 4 ; ditto Four per Cent., 1001 ; Five per Cent. "en faced" rupee paper, 1074 ; and Exchequer Bills, 2s. die., la. prem. Mexican Bonds have improved 4 per cent., being quoted 414 to I. Greek are also 4 better, at 31 to 4, and Spanish Passive 4 lower, at 364 to 4. Turkish securities are steady, the Loan of 1854 being quoted 92 to 93, ex div.; that of 1868, 704 to 4; that of 1862, 714 to 1; and the Consolides, 534 to 54. Transactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 994, ex div. ; ditto, 1852, 1858,1860, 92, 91; Egyptian, 1004, 101 ; Greek, for account, 314, 31; do. Coupons, for account, 15, 144 ; Mexican, for account, .414, 4 ; New Granada, 151, ex div. ; Portuguese, 1853, for ac count, 494, ; ditto 1856, 1857, 1859, 1860, and 1862, for account, 481 ; Russian, 1862, 934 ; Spanish Passive, for account, 364, 4 ; Turkish, 1858, for account, 704, 71 ; ditto, 1862, 711, 7 ; ditto, for account, 711 ; Venezuela, 1862, for ac count, 614. . _ - The Confederate and Brazilian Loans are firmer, the former at 65 to 67, and the latter at 1 to 11- prem. The Portuguese is steady, at Ito prem. London Financial shares are better, at si to I prem., and Egyptian Trading at 2k to 1 prem. International Financial are quoted to 51 prem., showing a decline of 2,.. 6d. ; Genend Credit and Finance, 21 to 31 pram. ; Hudson's Bay, 11 to die. ; Anglo-Austrian Bank, k to 1 prem. ; Discount Cor poration, 81 to 9 prem. ; and Mortgage Bank of India, 31 1 to prem. From day to day allotments are made, involving fresh calls upon the money market ; and although the bulk of the funds remain in the country, and thus merely travel from one banker to another, yet in frequent huitances—as, for example, with new banks in connexion with the colonies or foreign countries—there is a certain exportation of bullion, destined to form the basis of operations. These calls must naturally produce some, if only a moderate, effect upon the money market, and it can scarcely be assumed that the numerous issues of new stocks and shares can be absorbed without causing some portion of those now in existence to be thrown upon the market. This is, indeed, an inevitable consequence of the natural disposition on the part of holders to change from one form of investment to another. Yesterday, the allotment of two large masses of stock—viz., that of the Brazilian Loan and that of the Anglo-Austrian Bank—took place. In the former instance the deposit of 41., to be completed by Friday next, involves a total demand to the extent of 400,0001. In the case of the Brazilian Loan, the ultimate effect will be diminished by the circumstance that this loan is for the most part merely in substitution of Five per Cent. Brazilian stocks previously existing. It is farther satisfactory to remark a point of similarity between the Brazi lian and Portuguese Loans, inasmuch as neither of them threatens to cause the exportation of any important amount of gold. Amongst the other new projects to which attention is at the moment espe cially directed is the Land Mortgage Bank of India, the allotment of which is now near at hand ; the Discount Corporation, to which a nominal total of 15,000,0001. has been subscribed ; and the East London Bank, which has had its capital covered more than three times over. It is scarcely surprising that when new projects succeed each other thus rapidly, they seem to jostle aside some of the older securities. The demand at the Bank of England discount office yesterday was to a fair extent, but in the general market the supply of money has slightly increased, and in exceptional instances transactions took place at 31 per cent. At Vienna on Saturday the Five per Cent. Metal liques declined per cent. The numbers are published of 507 bonds, repre senting 69,3001., of the Danish Three per Cent. Loan of 1825, which have been purchased and cancelled. . . . The amount of s pe cie engaged for transmission to-day to the East by the steamer Ripon is 202,0341., of which 67,6981. is gold, and the rest silver. 60,4001. of the gold is for Mauritius and Alexandria, and 125,000/. of the silver for Hong Kong and Shanghae. Cape of Good Hope Government Kowie Harbour Six Cent. Debentures for 24,0001. were dis posed 3 of yesterday by public competition by the crown agents for the colonies. Twenty tenders were received altogether, varying in price from 53. to 101. per cent premium, and amounting in the aggregate to 60,6001. All those above 1071. were accepted in full ; those at 1071. 11s. will participate pro rata. The avenge price realised was 1081., and the minimum fixed before the opening was 1061. 10e. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have this day appointed Friday next a 'pedal settling day in the shares of the London, Hamburg, and eon tiuental Exchange Bank (Limited), which are to be officially quoted. It is anticipated that the Royal Mail Steam packet Company will declare at the meeting on the 26th inst. a bonus of if., or 30s. per share, out of the surplus to the credit of the insurance fund, in addition to the usual half-yearly dividend of 21. per share. The "letters of regret" of the Land Mortgage Bank of India were issued last evening. A memorandum from the directors of the East London Bank (Limited) intimates that "the num ber and importance of the applications for shares in this bank, a large proportion of which are aecem panied by offers of immediate business, call for so much consideration that it will be impossible to issue the letters of allotment of shares until Friday, 23rd inst." We are requested to state that the share list of the British Indian Tea Company will be closed on Thursday next, There were inquiries for Comedy and Victoria Six per Cents. and New South Wales Five per Cents. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 1,5711. compared with last year, and the South Eastern &decrease of 9141. A special meeting of shareholders of the London and South African Bank is convened for the 9th February, to authorise the directors to apply for a supplemental charter. The Great Western 'Railway Company of Canada intimate that " the loss on through traffic collected and converted ascertained up to 3rd October. 1853, amounted to the sum of 30,996 dots. 710. (6,36%- 3s. 9d.) ; and there remained a further sum of American funds for conversion at that date of 30080 dots. 76c. In addition to which there are balances in account with connecting railways still unadjusted." MONDAY EVXIII4.
