and Beals. The negotiation only.beoan a few days before. I was very much pre wit. Au IRICeMilt was drawn up, h elt I have no copy ; Mr. Lewis always took such pipers. 1 Inve he has it. Ceder thet 'green% :et id.. Barry and received 4,0001 ,my there war 3,20U1. —tour 61ths. Unnerved Messrs. Chappell r If, ale 6001. or 7001, which ease deelucted. I paid 6001. to the London and Westminster Benk, which I owed them. I received the money myself in batik notes. Tin some day I peed a bin of Mr. Spencer' s of 2501, a bill 3001. to Mr. B en ham, and gave Mr. Lewis 2501. to pee , of Mr. liteleficlies; 2601. I paid to Mrs. Levi (mother of Mt. Lewis) for money lent ; also 6001. more to Mr. Lewis, for bills due—two Of 3001. each. I had about 6001. left, and with that I went to Dru y.latie and paid the weeit's salariee due,. and some of the monthly salaries. I was short abeut 3001. ; so I went hack to Mr. Lewis, who gave me back 3001. of what I had given him. I he no recollection whether I gave him • bill for 3501 , or what I did, for I was very much agitated. By the agreement with Messrs. Chappell and Beale I was to have an annuity of 300!. a year ter six years, and it was secured by bond. I knew nothing of the transaction by which 18 bills of 1001. each were given instead. I never authorised Mr. Lewis to get such bills in exchange fee the bond; if given at all, it was without my authority. I aft, retards heard of his bay ing those bills, and was much surprised. He said he had got them to pay my creditors. The agreement also servicesecured me 7001. a year for six years, for my protections' s. The bond was assigned to Lewis on Sunday evening, the 2nd of January. He had dined with us that day, and pro, due d the assignment himself, which I signed, after consult iog my wife. Madame Jullien had d after dinner; then Mr. Lewis produced the paper, saying it was an agree. mint for me to sign, by which he should be able to make some money for my creditors out of the 7001. a year. He had previously, by my desire, called my crceiton together. I called Madame Jullien to read the paper; she did so, and then asked Mr. Lewis what he mean. to do with the annuity of 7001. He said it was for my good, he stoeld be able to effect an arrangement with my creditors. 1 instantly signed it, in resence of Madame Jull.aa. ino one else was present, except the manurvant migh. have come in with the pen and ink. Mr. ieole said it was quite clear the assignees would have to take proceedings &guns% It::. Lewis, and therefore this examination would be wore conveniently taken at a private meeting.—The C • mmisaioner rasps so; but lam now called oar to decide a differed.; question. M. Jullien has asked for his certificate, whice is opposed by, three creditors, who are not content to take a tow farthings in the pound an their debts. Mr. Cooke saw no harm from this examination being made public —The Commissioner: Nor do I. I' think no evil will arise from the truth being made knewn. Mr. Cole :1 t might injure tne estate.—The Commissioner did not think that at al! likely. The ezzmination was then coetinned : Mr. Lewis took the assignment away with him in his pocket. I had no copy. Next morning I erred ne his house in Grozv..nor street to receive 601., which I hr. overpaid him. It was about half-past eight in the morning. I got the 601., rind went away itistantly. Nothing passed then about the assignment 1 signed nothing, and did not see any of his clerk'. I immediately suo - ted on my journey to Scot land. I went to Lcice.ter os Bioningham that day, end Bare a concert. In Scotto-el, I learnt from Mr. Levi's lawyer that two of my bito of 4001. each were due ; he threatened to make me a baekrupt if they were not paid immediately ; they were in Mr. Levi's hands. Mr. Lewis had warned me that two of toe bills were in the hands of his brother (Mr. Levi) ; he said—" Mind and pay those bills, for he will make you pay." I sent the letter, or a copy, to Mr. Lewis, •gging dim to arrange the matter as well as he could, he having property of mine in his hands. 1 autherised him IA: arr....etre all my affairs as my attorney. I did nut than Anew of Levi's execution. I did not apprise my other treditors of Levi's letter; I ere hed to keep it as secret as I could. I afterwards learnt that my property in Harley•etrees had been seized under ',Peg execution. There was a largo music-room, called the Beethoven Room, attached to the house. In 1847, I ex pended 1,6001. in repairing eel fornishing that roam. Of this I paid 3001., and Mr. Boehm is a creditor for the re mainder. A portion was to have Seen paid on the comple tion of the room, but that was teniyed for three months beyond the time, which causes: me great inconvenience. 1 expected to be able to defray the sr..nense out of the letting of the room and out of my pmfasional earnings. I have not the 'care of the house in Hariesywtreet ; Mr. Lewis has it he has got all my papers. The lease was not assigned to him, I paid '2OOl. for fixtures, &c., bete", the lease was executed. • I never authorised Mr. Lewis to heed over the lease to Levi, to be sold by the shefel. I knew nothing of whet Levi was doing till the man came to ties pomession in Harley-street. On my return from the north a meeting of my creditors was held, about the sth of Februare. Mr. Lewis then stated • that there were no proceedings going on which would prevent an arrangement wi.h the err :core. Mr. Chapels explained that this meeting was on the 3rd February, and was a meeting of the creditors of Jullien and Barry. Mr. Lewis then positively declared that no proceed ings were going on,. and on the eel . ; next day Levi's emu ' tion was put in. The meeting of the separate creditors was on the Stn. Mr. Cooke read an ageeennot Into which the creditors had I entered, eonsenting to accept 1,5001. a year till the debts were paid, Mr. Lewis being the frecurity, and Mr. Benham . and another creditor being ski:attired assignees. One condi ' Bon was that H. Jullieu should not be disturbed in his pos e' session in liarley-street. Nineteeogwentiethe of the anti ; tors bad signed that sgreemoot , M. Jullien continued • That arrangement was not carried latoeffeet becauee certain creditors reviled to sign it, amongst them Mr. Bielefield and Madame !onus (leas. I was then ad vised by Mr. Chapple to make myself • bankrupt, because it would cost so mime to utility the dissentient parties. I was made a bankrupt soon after the to/notion, and nothing was left for my creditors. As to my facture earnings being taxed, I think my position will be much injured by my being a bankrupt. I know not what to expect from my profession ; still I have no °ejection to bind imyself by writing to pay all my creditors RS far as I can, it I am allowed my personal liberty. The offer of 1,5001. a year was made on condition that I should be allowed to go on. This was not done, and lam ins much worse rondo:: now. lam receiving about 731. 101. a week at the Zoological Gardens, out of which I pey near 201. I have no other source of income at present. Mr. Fawkes, one of the opposing creditors, is a creditor for 4601. When I nest dealt ere h:ra I promised to pay him weekly. He supplied the dreams at the theatre, matins, and so forth. Mr. Richd. Fawkes, draper, Of Russell-'trees CoVent garden, deposed—The eank.ept commenced dealings with me about November last. .1 week before Christmas he asked me, as a particular leeour. to let his account run a fortnight instead of a week, teeing he would then punctually pay it. I went on supplying c oax, amounting in the whole to 4031. The bill was ant is. at the end of the time, but was not paid. I went over anti maw Y. Jolliest, who promised payment on the following eionday, through Mr, Oye, the treasurer, who, when applied to ,:pressed surprise, and said he had no money, and M. Jullien had gone out of town. That was Monday, the 3rd of J..uary. We sent a writ to. Y. Jullien, at Leeds, who reArred us to Mr. Lewis as to his. perfect ability to pay 20a. ii the pound I afterwards at tended the meeting of crediten, and was one who agreed to the arrangement. But for me promise of payment in full the following week I should not nave continued the Credit. I oppose now oat of no personal foaling. but in the hope that something may be done for t-e chief s.—By Mr. Chapple : I began to supply the theatre in November. The Commissioner here erharked that it was extremely unfortunate the creditors Ina nen come to an arrangement to make Janie° a bankrupt as fleet, as they had thus put it in the power of Mr. Lewis and le.r. Levi to get poreanon of the whole of the property. Mr. Cooke observed that Lad the creditors determined to set en the declaration of int. eiveney when it was laid before them, it would then have teen too late, as Mr. Levi's exc. cutiOn had been put in on th., prowding day. The Commissioner : But the question for me in this case is the conduct of M. Jullien; ia_ i l I must say that it has been the conduct of an hone - e. man. The moment he learnt what had happened, he took the advice of a respectable slit chew, and tendered a demure:len of insolvency to the creditors. Mr. Cooke: I am not premeno the case against him ea that ground ; it is his geners- weituct previous to that time, and his extraysg'.nt expendOure.—The Comosimioner ; In my opicion, very little is to b. , acid on that ground. Mr. Cooke : Then there is the speculation at Drury-lane Theatre, which was most rase and unwarrantable. The Commissioner On that r'int, I think he was justi . fled in venturing in the wry Le did. He appears to have had a very considerable capitate 11 JuLien appears here with nothing ; then the question crises. why is this so I Bemuse he had Callen into extremely tied hands (I hardly dare use the expression which suggetts itself tome) ; and when he attempted to extricate housed, and threw himself into the hands of his respectable creditors, they did not some forward in the way that they ought to hove done ; they had such a dread of the Court of Bankoiptcy that they did not avail themselves of all the advantage which his conduct of fered them. After some fin .are remarks from Wx. Cooke, • The Commissioner said: Inihincaa the firseotnection m.de • to the allowance of M. Jullien 's certificate was that his ex penditare bed been esteesive ; and, if this could be shown, it would certainly be a reason *or postponing at least the immediate allowance of , the oertifunte. Dirt, looking se It as it a put down in the halal .ersneet, it does not appear to me at all emotive in the cirnimstanees in which he was placed. He was obliged to ge about from plug to place, and nesessanly incurred much 'epees' ip that way.. Then there were other wanness wnreb mere from the numeity 'of his taking a bowie with a comfort room attached to it, the rent and taxes of which were incusarily . extremely heavy. Amongst his personal expenses , were " to, "presents to satiate and others," which altogether ML amount to 1,8641. in a year =d r. quarter. bed items, the expenditure of M. Jullien and hiswitelffneM found to be at all emotive The text objection was the had commenced these to . eculations having no Capita whatever 1 to support whicn me attention was Galled to an item in the accounts, which thews that he was at one time wale than nothing. But th a t objection vaniahee when one ' sees that it rioters merely to his private estate as contradis languished from some valuable property which he had in a shop in Bogeat-street. Thar pioperty was sold in the latter Put of 1847 for 4,0001, feorg.nhe of which w e n t to IL Jullien, and the purchasers undertook to allow him two annuities of 3001. and 7001., in consideration of tatters services, it must be permeated in connexion with that shOp. To say, therefore, ander Neigh circumstances, that H. Juliien had no capital whatever , is to state that for which than it no warrant. The nage objection wait that his spa. gelation@ were unwarrantable render the circumstances; and Whop . it might be aid that th ou simeolations werg ,uwar if the elate of his affairs as to capital were such U has been represented. But, considering what a quantity of npital M. halters has had, west very great nooses in life he had had for i nine years preceding — for I twiny., he had risen afrom very nferior station into a very respectable one—l fhiak it is only due to persons Peeseesul of such t‘'.411:48 as M. J lateen is pesscrsed of, to sty that they an, out to be deterred from entering into sornt what grew lative eugaeemente, by tt.: far that if those specula tions tail. they will be naulahed for that failure by the exercise of this mutes jorteaintion over the cirtitirete. think that all persons in this great town and elsewhere ought to be at liberty to shun boldr.ess as v ell as activity in the pursuit of their calling; and t ft: one will never exercise the jurisdiction I have over the rertificate to terrify persons (rem the exercise of enterprise *entre enterprise is justifiable. I must say I think thatconsidering the talent which M. Jul -1 lien and the great success which has attended hies through ,he was justified in entering into the speculations is spislka. Then comes the mania' difficulty, that M. Jul. Yes swum here producing substantially nothing at all—a ekerthistanee which unites cglained would be conclusive ageinst him. But why does become here empty-handed ? Why has he nothing? Ido not like to make use of expr , s. lions which as regarding ausent persons might be deemed very severe, therefore I will not use the expression which was on the tip of my tongue. will content myselfsaying that if M. appears here witL nothieg at all, it is really bno hl: of his • f...r elthiug he hail, and 1 e v erythin g which was ' due te th e cre y ditors, and which the 1 tired itors could have possesses: themselves of i the y had pursued a different iourse, has (ellen irto the hands of an attorney. Mr. Lewis, and • sherifra aff cit., Mr. Levi. Considering all the circumstances of the case, 1 cannot say that M. Jul lien is responsible for those misfortu ,, es. It is nut im probable that the whole of M. Jollities property will be divided between Mr. the attorney, and Mr. Levi, the sherifre officer. But that M. Jullieres fault? It appears to me that it is the Fault of the creditors themselves; they had it iu their power to have pursued a different course and they chose to pursue the course they did. The practical result is, that there is, in the present state of &figure, nothing for them. I hope and trust that the assignees will be ad ' vised to take the necessary steps for setting aside all these proceedings; and I =prose they will only be 1 advised to do so if there is a reasonable prosp-ct of Bocce*. I hope they wil t institute such proceedings, and 1 , I hope such proceedings will be rucceseful. I hope that those who have grasped all this property will be compelled to dis gorge it, and that the result will he beneficial to the era. dittos. Whether it is so or not, I feel that the justice of this case ie, that the misfortune, whatever it is, ought not to fall upon M. Jullien. I feel that ids conduct, hom the oath mencement to the conclusi m, has been the conduct of in honest man, a.tlious to do everything he coul d for his creditors; and I feel, there& re, that he is entitled to his certi cats. I will only say that 1 shell undoubtedly grant M. Jullien his certificate at •otte ; whether it shall be with or without a condition, I will reserve that point for subsequent consideration. Mr. Chapple said he oupbt , perhaps, to address some ob servations to the court on that point. He believed that the prospects of M. Jullien woad be seriously injured by the circumstance of his having had. to come before this court. The Commissioner said he had understood sl. Jullien to express that tear himself, but he did net think then was any such feeling in this country. Mr Chapp'e said the iffect hitherto had been seriously to affect his proeoects. His engagement at the Zoological , Hardens terminated that ray and he had no pre sent pros pect of any other engagement. Doubts were entertained whether the contract between M. Jullien and Mr. Lewis for the assignment of the annuity had not been broken ; and in that case Messrs. Chappell and Beale might resist the making over of the annuity of 7001. a year to him. At any rate, if it were not so, it was doubtful whether there was any probability of his earning an income at all commensa -1 rate with what he lad hitherto done. The Commissioner; I will tura the matter over in my mind, and will dot , rmine ou Saturday morning whether I. will or will not attach any condition to the ct nano .te. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 110 ME CIRCUIT.—OUILDFORD, Auo. 17. The businms of this assize progresses very !newly. Mr. Justice Coltman Cashed trying the prisoners cn Tuesday evening, and, contrary to tjae usual custom, he at once pro ceeded to town, without taking any of the causes ; a number of which still remain to be disposed of. The Lord Chief Baron has been engaged during the last two days in trying common jury cum NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—LtvaitPooi, Ato. 17. The wises for the ,outbern division of Leneashire com menced this clay before Mr. Justice Creuwell and Mr. Justice Brie. The calender cootains the names of 110 pri soners (about an average number); 5 are chanted with mur• der ; manslaughter, 6 ; Grabble, and wounding, 20 ; bur glary, 20; highway robbery, 6; riotous and tumultuous assembling (including the cue of Dr. Wanton), 6. There is also a prisoner (Cuddy) to try on a charge of treasonable conspiracy. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—EaIIiTOL, Aco. 17. The commis.ion fvr the assizes was opened here last night, and the business commenced today, Mr. Justiee Coleridge being the presidii.g judge. There me 28 causes for trial, of which Ida are marked as special juries, and five as undo fended. POLICE.—YESTERDAT. t bOW-BTRBET.—Ttin CHAMOIS or SEDITIOX.—Mr. J. 134 Macnamara, a ao'i. itor, said tt at he attended on behalf of twelve prisoners in the custody of the officers of the F divi sion, and resit', sled to know the precise ti • cher might be t placed at the bar and also to be made acquainted wi th the It nature of the charge against each of them, in order that he might be enabled to frame she defence for them.— 13 Mr. Hall replied that ha could give so in creation upon it the subject, his knowledge being confined to the fact that a r , umber of charade who had been apprehended in different so WOO town were still in the hands of the police awl rine', 6 M whom he should apply, as their professional adviser, for say facility he required to confer with them ; upon which he in' left the court for that purpose.—About three o'clock the tO prison van drove up from the station in King-street, West- q. minter,containing eighteen prisoners, several of whom were mere youths and whose general appearance was wretched in the extreme. It was guarded by the principal officers of the A, B, and L divisions, who brought with them a great num ber of pikes. cutlasses, bludgeons of a peculiar description, and other deadly weapons, witch were found upon the pri, soners.—As stated in another column, the megistrate pat posed the hearing of the charges against the prisonere till this (Friday) morning at 11 o'clock. MONEY MARKET. TRUUSDAY EVENING. The report, which for some days past had obtained currency, of an intention at the Bank of England to raise the minimum rate of interest at the weekly board to-day has not been justified by the event. The directors met as usual, but made no change. The re port was doubtless grounded on the greater demand tor money which sprang up last week, and is still experienced, as possibly the next Bank returns may show. The unpromising state of the weather for har vest operations of late, and the increasing probability of large importations to make up for deficit nt home products, assisted in creating the belief that the Bank most necessarily be in great haste to prepare by the requisite measures for the extensive calls which, in such case, could not fail to be made upon its gold reserves for exportation. It would, however, manifest much ill-judged precipitation and indiscre tion iu the management of a vest establishment to go to work upon mere hypothesis only, for although ap pearances fur some few days had told adversely for the prospect of crops, yet, with the exception of potatoes, they amounted to nothing stronger than possibilities, or, at worst, to probabilities of ill omen. The accounts from all parts of the country day by day would appear now to show that less damage has been done hitherto, on average, by the heavy rains than was anticipated ; whilst from some counties and districts the reports come far from unfavourable. The fht.tu Lions in the finds were not of considera tion to-day, and generally the business was only of the jobbing kind. Consols were sold as low as 851, and °ought up t 86,1, when it was ascertained that the Bank Board had adjourned, leaving the rate of in terest untouched. They left off 85 to 6 for money, and 86 fur account, which were about the ruling quo tations of the day. Reduced Threes, 86 to 1. Three aud-a-Quarter per Cents., 861 to t.

The successes of the Austrian arms in Italy_ have caused an active demand for Austrian stocks at Frank.: fort, Berlin, and other continental markets, and a rise in prices, on the presumption that the event muetlead to negotiations and the conclusion of peace. It is stated, In advicel hem Madrid, that the bonus of Baring Brothers, Rothschild, and O'Shea (of that capital), had given in their adherence to the unjust scheme proposed by an spat of the pir,ish vern ment. the leading particulars of were go given tinder this lima in the Daily News on Wednesday last. But it was not believed there, nor will it be' here, that tbe chiefs of those respectable firms would' lend themselves to such a disreputa ble project. The report was believed to be spread in Madrid „ftir the sinister pliepose of imposing upon the foreica bondholders, and mo entrapping theittontent. It is not at all likely that the forvigncreditor will agree to sturondar his Five per Cent. titles, upon which interests unpaid are in arrear for so many years, as represented by the coupons, for new titles called delusively Three per Cents., upon which no interest at all is proposed to THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1848• ___---7--= be paid for the two yraws 1849 and 18.50, 1 per cent, only in 1851 and 1852, 2 per cent, in 18342 m 141814, and the 3 per a nt. sti p ulated in 183.5 only for the first time. 'I he e Wel ence alone of 2 per cent., upon the proposed reduction from 5 to 8, would make • loss to the bondhoVaers in six years of five millions sterling, and by the mode of deferred and instaltnent payments of the new Three per Cents, suggested on the part of the government, the loss would be not very far short of Oleo m'llions more, as calculated by M. Lesseps, the French envoy. And this iniquitous scheme ia put forth on the part of a government which has capitalised usurious internal loans within the lest few years at some 300 per cent. above the amount actually received in money, and has since punctually paid interest, as it does yet, at the rate of three per cent, upon the stock of this privi leged internal debt, whilst the foreign bondholder has not received a single real for years.
