This eame au before the court on Wednesday lest The assignee of a bankrupt ranked Augustan galled to needed RD order at Mr. Ocuakkaniouer Faae for the diadtair of the bankrupt. It appeared that in 1860 Angentein, being then bankrupt, bad °braised his certificate ; and, as he himself alleges, bad not &ince carried on any business between that time and May 22, 1862, when he was arrested on an ordi nary non-trader debt. He was declared a bankrupt while in prison by one of the registrars of the court, under the Bankruptcy Act of 186 L Mr. Bailey, a ereditor for 1,600 1. , was choose amigaer ea 10th of January , and on the 1 8th of February the commissiorier ordered his discharge. It was now sought to show that the bankrupt had been dealing in, and was perinea of patents which were said to be of the value of 5,C00/., and the enigma) desired to have further investigation into his affairs, notwithstanding that he had passed his last examination, besides a subsequent and fur ther examination which been allowed by the court below. The Lord Chancellor then directed that the ease should stand over, and that an affidavit should be made as to the facts on which it Wei sought to make further inquiry. Mr. Einionaad Mr. Bagley, for the assignee, now produced au affidavit to the effect thatinquiry had enabled him to state ' hie belief that if opportunity were given for investigation, it mead he.hown that the bankraptbadfreedulentl contracted =and also that at a future time he would pee of property which would be applicable to the pay- Wee of his deb.,. The Lord Chancellor mid that he would direct the peti tion to be sus fended for six weeks for the purpose d produc ing evidence of those facts. El PARTE DOWNIELE-1111 DOS WELL This was an appeal from Mr. Oommissimier Gen Mara, who had suspended the bankrupt's discharge for twelve months, and until after he had undergone three :roods' imprisonment, on the ground that he bed contracted debts without reasonable sad probable prospect of their being paid. The bankrupt, who described himself as a promoter of corners, had been twice insolvent previously to his Dreier bankraptcy, the debts under three inaolveociee being near 20,0001., and the liabilities sow being over 1,1001., uessieured. Mr. Beer, for the bankrupt, urged that the debts had been contracted, not on his personal account, there being oo private debts, bet at behalf of the companies with which he was ocentected ; and that if the sums due to him from the companies ware paid to bin, he could discharge the liabilities for which he had been arrested, and hence hie application to the Court of Bankruptcy. Besides which the commiseirer had acquitted him of fraud. Mr. Roxburgh,who appeared for the amignee,idated that the bankrupt had metered into contracts with two canpries for the sale of two mines whir be was to procure, and for which, as promoter of the companies, be was to receive 5,000/. and 3,0001. respectively, and he deposited 2001. of his own money with the companies. The rheum having failed, the bankrupt had not only not obtained the gems which he impeded sa promoter, but had loss the messy which he had departed ; while, if the claims whir he had on the companies were paid, he would be in a paid= to dS.&arr his debt. The Lord Chaaaellor mid the oommiusioser lad done rightly in strictly examining into this car, and eepecirly as there was no opposing creditor, sod his dealing with it was quite justified ander the 150th section of the Bank ruptcy Act of 1861. But it was incumbent ender that sec tion to look only at the debts which came wider that act. The bankrupt was charged with contracting debts without reasonable and probable prospect of payment. The only ' debts were connected with the °Detracts for the punkas of the mines ; and if they were boos fide Seriatim., they would have brought the bankrupt a cenelderable sea ; end looking to the cirennistances, he did not sac sulkiest ground to come to the coorkeion that theft was no reasonable expectation of the payment of the debts. Although unwilling to tome to a different orelosion from that of the coinnikernee, yet he could sot agree that the debts wore ooatrsted without res. arable prospect of payment—that roost the eon tracts might be bees tide, the question arose whether dry wore rash and hazardous in their eaters He could not my that a contract which was entered into with a belief on ' as part of both parties that it was likely to be carried or essesofelly was a ash one, although at miot have bees hamador.

The costa would come out of the estate, if there wee ever any. (Before the Karter of the Rolle) Mini 11 Meerle3da, though he had isasid t elleiate, and boa devoted himself to literature, and armed his living by editing sad contributing to the British Ensign and the Bn lime Standard, and writing for other pub lications. The jury in returning their verdict said specially that they Wined the editor wrote the 'Wale compliuned of in the honest, genuine, and boat Me belief that what he wrote was correct. The plaintiff was the pro. pricker, in partnerahip with Mr. Pratt, of the two papers above mimed, and some years before the subject.matter is dispute he published in thorn a series of letters addressed to the late Prams Consort with reference to H.R. H. the Pnuce of Wale& in which he stated, and no doubt entertaioed, the sincere conviction that great deoger wan to be Wed from bin royal highneee's raft to Canada of his becoming • Momma catholic, from his being played is oienatunicatiou with certain parties there, and of his becoming an infidel from his going to Oxford Univeraty. (Laughter.) • The Lord Chief Justice—And also from his visiting Rome. (Laughter.) Mr. Bovill—Yes. The plaintiff in his cross-examination had shown that he addressed those letters to - the British public is all sincerity, and that they had the effect of in creasing the circulation of the paper 100,000 copies, and the way he acted wu to call upon those who setertaieed similar views to subscribe for the gratuitoui cirealation of ironies. Having been so successful with the Priam Con ant's letters he mitered on a new subject in the autumu of 1861, that of the salvation of the Chinese—(laughter)—by the publication el a series of letters is the Zionvn and Brandoni, end he called on the public in the most Widlllll gunner to participate in attaining that end by subscribing towards the gravitons circulation of the two papers. Mr. Jastice Mallor—Were they for circulation amongst the Chinese! (Laughter.) Mr. Bovill—No. 'Phe letters were written in English— but to increase the circulation. _ The Lord Chid Justice said the learned counsel had not put it quite fair towards the plaintiff. The circulation was to be the means by whiob the solemn object was to be achieved. It struck one as absurd that these letters woe to stir up the community and to stimulate them into active exertion for the 000 version of the Chinese,and it brought down a fair amount of ridicule from the writer of the article complained of. If he had stopped there no one could have blamed him, but he had gone further. Mr. Bovill —And as the writer humorously observed, "all at the low charge of one penny." (laughter.) The plaintiff was not in the position of a pnvate gentle man entertaining those views, but as cos who by publishing them had called attontion to them. The plaintiff in his bitten had celled attention to the im portance of ant-tribing, and in many of them he requested that the subscriptions should be forwarded to his esteemed Iblither (Mr. Pratt, who was in partnership with him). e addressed his readers as hie Mends of truth as it is in AM, and after !peaking of the salvation of man and the glory of God called upon them to increase the oirculatioe (!v etimes what it was on the nblioation of the Prince sort tenet". Mr. Pratt heated ' it as a natter of ban esm--of • stimulating character, and likely to produce it. effect au those reading the appeals. The Lord Chief Justice—One looks after the spiritual element, and the other the commercial. (laughter) Mr. Bovill thee referred to the letters of the sub. scribers. some wish names and others with initials attached to them. One was an " Old Soldier," and some little ridi cule was throve ou the probability that the plaintiff was the " old soldier." (Laughter.) The Lori Chief Justice mid if it had been only ridicule be should have gone along with the learned counsel. Mr. Bovill—lt was stunned that the old soldier was fietidoua The Lord Chief Justice said it yes not only so, but it also directlycharged that the plaintiff while putting forward to the pub& the pest and important object of contributing, sulacribing and of using every townie e ff ort to convert the Chimes t o Christianity, was guilty of mum ; That his whole object wan not to effect what las profaned to have in view, but simply to obtain money by the circa/alios of his paper, and that with a view to pro. mote that aid he pretended that be had received own. methadon" from individuals who were setirely fictitious and intragbary, and had DO existaece but in his own bran ; and that be put down names and subscriptioes which pro-- famed to be a subscription liet. He could not help thinking that it was a charge of direct swindling and obtaining mosey wader false pretences. Mr. Justice Crompton said it was not a criticism on the week but a direst charge of crime. Ifs Bodll thee referred to the remarks of the writer on the sitheedyptioi list, and his allusion to their existence like MO. Eambead %my Camp. The Lan& Chid Justin said it was a very pungent and whim snide. cb rnidideCtionqikesaid that a writer had • perfectright to rillsele lits matter, or if be makes personal imputations he Yard show that ft was privileged, or that it Wp trim, which had not been done. . . . The Lor7lChiet jirsiiCe said that, however much the ',Wears sendact was open to criticism, it was imposibie the moment he appeared in the witness-box to doubt hie =,:d that - he and those connected with him were in the water. After some considerable discussion, ' The Lard Chief Justice said there should be no rule. The article was migneetiousbly • HbeL It imputed to the pleiatiß that be pat forward the great and sacred cause of the diesminatioci of religious truth amoogat the heathen to put money into his pocket, and that he was acting as an in V ar otiser learned judge' concurred. Role refused. tr. Borill said the jury found that the article wee written under the boon fide belief that the charges were true. Here was • subject brought before the public by Dr. Campbell in his own newspaper, nod be asked the public to tar tielyes for the purpose of 'urinating certain objects. Another paper attacked them, and maid that instead of doing it for the purpose of the salvation of four hundred matians ot Chums, be did it for the purpose of putting money into kis pocket. The question was, had theßistariay Review • sight to mike such • comment. The Load Chief Justice said it must not be assumed that the jary only pve the damages on that point. He was obliged to tell the jury that if they did sot cos:eider the reticles privileged both the charges were libellous. It most be takes that tie damages were given for tolh charges. Mr. Bovill mid he was enjtled to a rule if he could show then the verdict was wren on either point. This was • autter that bad beam brought before the public by the plaintiff, sad ens copse to puWiceritielern. The Lord ChiefJustios—Most certainly, if fair and proper. Mr. Bovill contended that the moment it was shown that ea article wan privileged, it became neoessary to show ex. prams 'mane& Mr. Justice Crompton said it was • mistake to speak of • eewspaper being privileged. The editor of a newspaper bed no different privilege from any other of her Majcsty's subb'ecte, He on linty was not privileged to nuke &argue of dishonesty . He thought the jury had very prof erly land the ant* libations. Mr. Jostle Blaokbunr—To make it privileged you mart amuse it is libellous. Mr. Bovill read that portion of the article which referred to the subscription list and the "' Old Soldier," and said there was a gre t deal of banter about it. The Lord Chief Justice said he did not know that an impalatioe was the leas painful or effective when put I. tie ships of • banter. It was a laughing way of puttiag it to say, 'So may copies fee the ' Old Soldier.' We know who the old soldier is r but it was woe the less libellous. Hr. Justice Mellor—You admit It is a libel. Mr. Bovill—The jury have found it so. (Laughter.) The Lead Chief Jostles said a public man's public el/t -ractor might be criticised, and the accuracy of his judgmeet questioned, but hie private reputation must not be attacked, or bees motives attributed to his acts. Mr. Bovill said he should canter! that It ga di le= , e s s . it was eeseeetsd with the subject matter Was not this such a ease as would render it necessary for the public interest that the matter should be brought for ward prevent the public from being mulcted of their money ? The learned counsel proceeded to argue that this case stood in the same position u giving a character to a servant, and • vowel stating that the servant was dis honest wee net actiopable if be made the statement in the honest honk ado belief that it was true. Yr. Justice Crompton said that a man giving an answer to • question was a very different thing from publishing the charge in an advertieemett. Bovill said he could not perceive a more important °Meet time that of informiug pence. that the money wee wanted for one purpose when is was wanted for another. The Lord Chief Justice—Why did you not justify, and ask the jury to come to your opinion ? • Mr. Bovill further urged that it nu to the interest of the public that these criticisms should be published. The Lord Chief Justice said he believed that the great security to public conduct was the high sense of public honour and honesty of our public) niece sod hebelieved timid were to deal lightly with it, and allow than to be at tickedby persons who entertained Myosin views, sod to be dragthe mire, more mischief than good would in. m tow m snob a latitude being permitted them. Yr. Bovill maid that might be so as a matter of policy. The Lord ado! Justice—But you my that it se to the interests of society that it should be so. Mr. Bovill then proceeded to quote wend eases of libel triad within the last few years in the Gnirk of Common Pleas and Exchequer, especially the ease of Paris v. The Daily T and the opinions of the herbed thi judges on the lowed kb, be urged, were favourable to his v iew ef s OMR - The Load Chief Justice said the peat grafi= in those sane was whether it was or was not • fair coos meet. It was the first time that they had beard that in such oases there should be proof of express malice. A fair esonntent wee, to use • familiar term, privileged ; bat if • oomment serried with it a wicked assumption that the order was one of per turpitude, thee it was a libel. The oamossat an imputation was mash it became libalkus, and rgsired • justification. Mr. Burin said that if • maw horsily believed it be had a right to pablir it, and let the great man steaduppoonn his sheorier. There was no qusstioa el truth or falesloed in a ems of poivilege. The observation that Dr. Omorbelte istsallaa was to put money into his own part was a fair senneset. Crompton uid he bed so with . see the Illberlyed ewes diminished le the lailition degree.

Ilis ambisis mesa whisk lie mum is brought is, unquestionably, libellous. It imputes that the plaintiff, in putting forward the great and sacred cause of the dissemiostion of religious truth among the heathen, wu acting as an imposter, his sole motive being to MA money into his own pocket. It chines him with pub lishing, in his newspaper, as genuine, • fictitious oorre spondence, addressed to him by imaginary persons, and the publication of • fictitious subscription hit. It is said that inasmuch as the plaintiff pat forward this public object in a public newspaper, addressing himself to the public at large en a matter of not only public but universal interest, he wee open to public comment, and in that pro position I entirely concur. If hie scheme was fraudu len t and disproportioned to the object he prepaid ter have in view, it was fit far comment and was within the scope of fair criticism ; bat it seems to me the line most be drawn between beetle criticism, between a man's public conduct and the motives by which he we% actuated ; and you have no right to impute hue, sordid, dishonest, and wicked mo tives. It turns out that this imputation was most un doubtedly without foundation. It may have been that Dr. Ounpbel4 in addition to the religious enthusiasm and zeal that actuated him, may not have been altogether Insensible to the collateral object of promoting the circulation of his weekly publication, but there is no foundation for saying that it assumed on his part the character of imposture, cc that he bad resorted to a fraudulent and false device to induce the public to oontiibute towards it. That being so, hir. Bovill was obliged to take hi stand on narrower ground. He says that because the writer had • belief that it was true, then he was justified. I moot subscribe to that. You have • perfect i;ght to canvass • man's public conduct, to say that it was foolish and absurd, and that the e ff ect of the subscription which Dr. Campbell was ask ing the public to contribute was to put money into his pocket; but when you go beyond and state that be is actuated by • desire of putting money le :,o his own pocket, and that be resorts to fraudulent expedite:de to do so, you are charging him with positive dist hooesty. The doctrine cannot be pushed further than a full right to comment in the true spirit of criticism. It is said that it is for the interest of society that men's public conduct should be criticised ; true, bul on the other band, it seems to me that we all have an eq cal interest in the maintenance of public character, withal: which public affairs never could be conducted with • view to the public welfare, and we ought not to sanction sticks upon public men destructive to their character and honour, outer, they can be proved to be true. I therefore think no rule ought to be granted. The other judges gave similar opinions. Rule refused accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLIAB.-APRIL 18.

In yarns the chief Miriam has been for India, but still there has been a fair demand for other market., Including Mina and the home trade. For Germany there leas been remark ably few offers making, the high prices no &ate dirmerag iag buyers. Suraiees have been put faith that continental manufacturers are relying chiefly upon • earner yarn, of home production, but such notions are probably only pat , forth for want of more intelligible rearms why so little is doing for the oontioent when buyers for nearly all other markets appear more or lees excited. Prises have advaseed folly id. per lb. on yarns suitable to India ; and for such as are required by borne manufacturers for shertinp, printers, mulls and farmer se much as id, to Id., and in some oases Id. per lb. more than the rates of hut week have been given. In cloths a good deal of business boa been done for India, especially in males and *Donets. There have also been some purchases of light shirtinp sand printing cloths. In some eases eve* the beerier kinds of shirt*, (late)y a good deal neglected) have been salable. Prkes have ad. ranged 3d., sod in some instances 4gd. per piece during the week. The activity in India fabrics has communicated • firmer feeling to the holders of cloths for other znatimin but it tends to keep back buyers, who will probably with. draw as much as possible from the market till the orders for India begin to slacken. The activity in the lianahr:ter market ham been fully reflected in that ri Liverpool, where the sales for the week have been 64,C10 bales, of which 30,500 have been taken by the trade, being 10,C00 ink Over the average eousumption rather more than a month ago.

Since the commence ment of the quarter there hes been a steady flow of orders on account of the home trade, and in the foreign department there is a fair amount of busiest &tag, better upon the whole than for the last two or three years. The unsettled state of European politics continues to check animation in that branch of the export trade. From the North the orders of late have been mo dera te, and the recent advise are not favourable with regard to thefuture With Italy and Spain there is a good sod progressive trade doing.
