FIIANKFORT.—In the sitting of the Assembly on no 12th, the conclusions of the committee upon the pike of the armistice were reed. The majority, sista, of Mean. Arndt, Mee Clansmen, Cau ses, Dehlmann, Rematch, Hakes, Ramer, Stenzel, Teitesehler, Wippermenn, and Warm, concluded est: eesnowing that the armistice violates the dis peitions contained in the articles 7 and 9 of the right el indepeadenes guaranteed by the resolutions; that the envoy from the Prussian government has gone kind the powers given to him ; &c., the As semble decides that the armistice is not r a tified, and the weary of the empire is invited to take all the measures for the continuation of the war, la ere tie Danish government should be unwilling at ass to enter into negotiations for a peace with the basted German state. To the following effect wen the conclusions of the minority of the committee, misting of Messrs. Duncker, Flottwell, Maximilian sea Garen, Oombart, Memo, Schubert, Stedtmenn Worth Zuharice, and Zeuette : " The National As : suably decides that—taking into consideration a de l/about o/ the Danish government transmitted by the Pre mien government, and by which it announces that it does not insist on Cunt Charles Moltke's di recting the provisional government of Schleswig, and that it is ready to make all the ronenesions which may appear desirable for the tranquility of the duchies; ap posing that the Danish government comprises in its belaretion the duchy of Luneburg and supposing that the said promises will be accomplished through the mediation of the central power— the National Assembly approves of the armistice of the 26th of August, and the negotiations for peace shall forthwith be commenced by the central provisional power. Is. the sitting of the Amiably on the 14th the debate commenced on this abject. M. Heckscher explained the policy pursued by his ministry, characterised it is one which ought to be followed, and concluded by oepporting the above conclusions of the minority of the commission. M. Herrmann spoke in favour of the conclusions of the majority, and staled that not bring able to form a new ministry, he had resigned his mandate into the hands of the Vicar of the Empire. The Assembly was afterwards addressed by Venedey, Arndt, Eisstunenn, and Franca, and the debate was adjourned. The following able letter from our Frankfurt car impudent will show that there are sanguine expo- Mans there that the armistice of Mama will mot be stilled by the vote of the Assembly FILAIMMRT, Barr. 13. The decisive battle will in given to-morrow. I be lieve I may assure you beforehand that the day will go against the Malmije armistice, and that its ratifia ble villa forbidden by the parliament. At laud smartens favour this expectation. Addresses menu the armistin have been received from all omens. What is of mare consequence, the Bue na government has intimated to the central mar that it is prepared to second it with ill its means and power in any difference est may arise out of the question of the armis tice; eM the Diet of Brunswick has made a similar isdentice. Public opinion will compel the other LarTts and chambers of Germany to follow r i c i a a i n ales. Praia will stand alone ; and al ready several Praia provinces have declared their disapprobation of the armistice : Ail-le-Chapelle, Ca b er, Dusseldorf, sad Snake have already M aned the parliament against it.

I believe that many members will follow the example of this vene rable old man, whose previous indecision will add form to his declaration now in favour of a more decided policy. All other business is suspended. It has been found impossible to construct a ministry while a disturb:ln which may change the whole tenor of German policy remains undecided. M. Dahlman and M. Hermann (the Vice-President of the Assembly), who were sent for by the Vicar of the Empire, were both obliged to relinquish the task they had undertaken. Ac- cording as the division un to-morrow's debate falls out we shall have a ministry exclusively of the right or exclusively of the left. For my part, I believe that the left will have the majority, and that ere long German policy will become more resolute, and by that means mon just and equitable towards all paes.

LA PLATA. By the arrival at Havre of tho French vessel Paquebot Parana, we are in possession of intelligence direct from Monte Video to the 13th of July. The position of affairs was not materially changed. In spite of the attacks directed by Oribe against the capital of Uruguay, and notwithstanding the embsik ation on board the French steamers of part of the French force, the city still held o ; bet the situation of the unfortunate inhabitants was exceedingly pre carious. Coin had become very scarce in con sequence of continued exportation, awl commerce wu de facto at a stand-still since the re-opening of the Argentine ports, which had drawn away the Euro pean ships to them. Emigration on a grand scale was consequently . the order of the day, and every vessel was carrying off to Europe or the Br azils some families with all that they could realise. The uncertainty of matters sarrded the measures to be taken by France after thecheck of Baron Oros was another source of anxiety which aggravated the situation. Much, however, was anticipated from the intentions manifested by the French republican go vernment, which had proclaimed to the world that no where would the interests of French residents be permitted to :suffer. - r Ts ruamgOFille blockade of Buenos Ayres had increased the insolence of Roses, by whose orders the newspapers in his interest abused France and its agents with the grossest invectives. One of these, which had been widely circulated, commenced with the words, Po:turned monks, nowitur ridicules Ines. The dictator still continued to prohibit the entry into his porta of any vessel which might have previously touched at Monte Video; and, according to latest &manta, ho had passed a decree by which the western coast was interdicted to any vessel coming from Brazil with merchandise not accompanied by a certificate of its origin, showing it to have been the produce of that country. The object of this mea sure was evidently to annoy and stop French meek The points on the western coast occupied by Oribe were still blockaded by the French squadron. A rums ur was current at Monte Video at the depar ture of the paquebot Parana that a secret emissary from ROM had arrived there, bearing the conditions , of a pesos with the Montevidean government. It was feared, however, that even were it so, the terms might not be such as could be accepted. The Courier of La Plata of the 11th of July says: " On the 30th of June, Mr. Gore caused himself to be recognised in his quality of Consul-General of her Britannic Ma jesty to the government of Monte Video. This official act of the English representative is a complete denial of the soi-disant presidency of General Oribe." gbt gourt.

EXPENSES OF THE PALACE. The Financial Reform Association conclude as follows their examination of the details of expenditure for sn'arlee paid out of the Civil List: LORD STEWARD'S D AAAAAA EAT (CONTINUED). We meet in this department with two of those rarities about onart,—honoreiry offices without salaries. One of thins is the Hereditary Grand Almoner an office instituted in the reign of Richard I. At a coronation he distributes alms to the poor, which are collected in a dish of silver. The silver disband a linen napkin he claims as his fee of office. The other office is that of Lord High Almoner, whose doty it is, to superintend the distribution of the royal alms on Maundy Thursday, and upon other Wailer charitable occasions. As some compensation, how he has the patronage of the office of Sub-Almoner, to which an annual salary of 911. Ils. &I. is attached. The duties of this officer are simply to assist the High Liar& fa the distribution of her Majesty's banevolames to the poor is Maundy Thursday, and twice a year at the lam le Satlead-yard.

The court of the marshalsea of the Quota's bow costs 1,9241. It consists of a knight marshal, with a salary of 6001. ; eight marshalmen, whose 'Swims are worth above 1001. per annum: a steward and a clerk of the court. flit court was instituted in the reign of Henry VIII., " to soled • nista, justice between the King's domestic servants, that they might not be drawn into other courts, and thereby the King lose their minims." The for 1 steward is judp of this court, and.his ;injunction enteads to an elsees within twelve miles of Whitehall. The duties of the marehalmen are to attend at tee entrance of the House of Lords when the house is sit ting, and also a: all lenes, drawing rooms, &a., at St James's Pam*. These appointments are in the gift of the Lord Steward. The salary of the ranger of Windsor Hose Park is defrayed by this department. The office is in the gift of her Mmeaty, and was by her conferred on the Prince Con sort, who, besides the salary attached to it of 6001. a year, de rives no ideossiderabls profit front the privilege of turning out to gr im, in the park, a certain number of she eattle, &o.

The Select Committee of the Roue of Commons recommended that it should be reduced to 2,6001., at which it still remains, being 6001. a year mere than the amount recommended by the same committee to be paid to the Lord Chamberlain and Lord Steward. whose duties are certainly quite as arduous as those of this officer.

It The Marquis and Marohionem of Lansdowne ar rived in Dublin this afternoon, by the Banshee steamer, front Holyhead. The illustrious visitors revart t n immediately set out in apri vate carriage of the mar quis's for the vice e, where they will remain the guests of Lord while they 'down in Dublin. _ The accounts from the south this afternoon be speak all quiet. The mining company's agents at the mines and slate-quarries assure the company's officers here that the men continue at their employment. The Clonmel papa received to-day is quite full of moving incidents connected with the later insurrec tionary movement They consist, however, of state ments, not acts—of rumours and accounts, not facts— anctall wear the colour cf exaggeration. Neverthe less, when we come to analyse them, we shall find, I think, that they contain abundant material to sustain the statement in a former despatch—that, however ridiculous this new movement was in action, there was at the bottom danger which the authorities re calked with uneasiness. It is not the out that ie feared—that is harmless, or only perilous to those engaged in it. It is not the attack upon a police station, hazardous to the lives only of those who venture on it; but it is the conviction which those overt sots afford of the existence of that temper in the people which be tokens recklessness and restlervoess, and which proves how little we can calculate on peace and order even for an hour. The insurgents we are assured continue to scour the country in armed but scattered parties—here driving away cattle, there attacking a house—taking vengeance in one direction on some obnoxious indivi dual, and in another flying before the glitter of a soldier's bayonet, or the glare of his scarlet coat. It may be the absence of that confidence which insurgents without a leader are sure to feel, and we find that the marauders are wanting in that particular, for it is stated in the Clonmel Chronicle that they had the audacity to carry off a gentleman resident in Clonmel, and a man of good property and station, to lead them. This gentleman, having been brought to the mountains, and the command tendered to him, re- Wit of course, and, strange to say, he seems to hen permitted to go freely to his home. How ever this may be, the fatigue of the troops meat be terrible, and if they are te be continued during the winter at this dodging warfare, the consequences EVcalamitous. movement of the troops from Dublin, and from Waterford also, upon Carrick, would seem to have acted upon the insurgents' fears and prudence. They have therefore retired from Tipperary across the Suit, and now occupy the south-west district of Wa terford. All the accounts tend to show that manifest disaffection is spreading. The insiuratt, in de tached bodies, hover along the ridge of bills called the Comeraghs. They keep perpetually shifting their quarters, bat their commiranat is at tended to, and it is stated that they roast whole** carcases of beef stolen from the pastures below on iron gates laid gridiron-fashion over immense tu:l fires. Of the latter there takbandance on the hills. The npperary Vindicator mentions to-day, on the authority of a codent at Carrick, that the house of the Rev. Mill, at Mothill, three miles from that town, had been attacked, his sow shot, and himself carried off to the mountain& The Evening Packet, just leaned, establishes certainly the fact of the attack, but inasmuch u the letter announcing it was written at Mr. Hill's house, and states that though "the windows were riddled none of us were hurt," adding that they have now a guard of police, we need feel no anxiety for the fate of young Mr. Hill. The circumstance clearly establishes the exag geration which we must deal with in every incident coming to our knowledge. The coroner', jury on the body of the insurgent killed at Olenbower has recorded a verdict of " Ju,- tillable homicide." The coroner refused to give the body to the friends of the man to hold "a wake" over the remains. A correspondence published in the Packet this evening, gives us facts for which the actor vouches by his name. Had we mare men in his position of the same forward manfulness, our alarm would be much less. Seeing it stated in the public journals that "the insurgents had demanded 601. from Mr. G. Sheppard, and were only put off on his taking his oath he had not so much money," Mr. Sheppard deemed it proper to state the facts in a letter to Lord Clarendon, as follow.: On Monday evenia, the 11th instant, the rebels mem bled near the Slate Quarries, about six miles from Carrick on- Snit, on shill near the toweled of Clammemull, and within a sheet view of my residence. They passed the night firing shots and keeping up wateltfireo.

Towards five o'clock bodies of rebels were observed waszaise down the hill, but soca after one of them returned and fired a shot in amending the hill.

The firs reached up to the house, which was also ig niting, when the brave defenders of their home were compeEed to strike. They yielded up two old guns, having managed to dispoo of their working arms. The mob be came turbulent, and insisted upon taking young Mr. Hill, es a hostage, with them in their coterie. This proposition was urged with great vehemence and threatening, and aa Faso lute:y opposed by Mr. Hill ; and although rumour rates that they did take him with them, I can state positively that they did not; for he has since, with his father, sworn informations of the attack. They than proceeded to the residence of Mr. Moore, at Ballynavin, whore, after break ing into the house they made search (or arms and provi sions, and after some time (no resistance had been offered to them), they found a pistol end some powder which they took away with them. They next attacked the residence of Mr. Henry Wilson, also of Ballynavin ; they fired into the house, broke open the doors, and took a gun away with them ; also a quantity of cattle which were on the land ; those they drove off for the pur pose of replenishing their oommissariat. Not content with all this plunder, the cowardly ruffian' next proceeded to the residence of Mr. Walsh, at filenhower ; they broke into the house, and although they turned over everything in it, and destroyed much valuable property, they did not succeed in finding any arms, but on their leaving the ground, those model patriots subbed with a pike a most valuable ctolt, his property, in the ribs, from which it is expected the animal will not recover. They then went off in the direction of Bathcornsuk, where they were again joined by the main body ; they then marched up the mountains. Immediately on intelligence of those outrages reaching Carrick, Heed- Constable OTT and a party of constabulary proceeded to the Rev. Win. Hill's residence, to scour the country round about. At two o'clock yesterday, a body of constab ul ary from the Dublin depot, numbering about sixty men, drove into Carrick from Kilkenny, under the command of Suebispector Mathew (on the staff of the Pamela depot). They are de cidedly one of the finest body of men in Ireland, smart, active, and intelligent. Their first words were " Are we going at them." " Why stop here, but follow them into their own camps." Theis sernem were soon, however, called into requisition, for • despatch from the mountains very soon arrived. The CUT which brought in this force were pressed on service, 'the horses led in • hurry, and, in an hour after their arrival in Carrick, the men who had come a forced march from Dublin, were oa their way up the mountains. A large body of the 83rd and 3rd Buffs, and a party of the 4th Light Dragoons also accompanied them, all under the instructions of Mr. Coulon, R.M. At five o'clock p.m., an express was received at the bar racks that the insurgents were marching on the bridge of Carrick to break it down. Two of the 4th Dragoons were sent off with • despatch to the camp at Pilltown, and the 3rd Buffs at Carrick were marched down to the bridge, u p on which they took no position, under Mr. Briscoe, loaded, and there awaited the attack. No enemy amend as such. The town was greatly excited. Multitudes began to assemble, and in 26 minutes after the dragoons had been sent to Pilltown, a company of the Old Buffs, under the command of Captain Chamberlain, came doubling into the town, cheering se they hurried along. Thom tine men, not withstanding their recent humming duties, came in a quick trot from Pilltown to Carrick, with their knapsacks on, three good Irish miles in the incredibly short Bisect of 26 minutes. At six o'clock the Butt retired from the bridge, but strong patrols, both of military sad police, were kept up daring the remainder of the evening, taking pri soners and lodging in Bridewell every man whom they found in the struts alter 10 o'clock. At nine o'clock an express arrived with news that the insurgents had gone towards Purism, and that the military and police under Mr. Coulson, who went out in the morning, bad token up position for the night at Rathoormack, and also that they had been joined by the Marquis of Waterford and hie tenantry and his at tendants, who kept the lead in pursuit all day. At hall-past 10 p.m., when I was about to write my report, I heard that another express had arrived in town for military form. I determined to accompany them. Captain Chamberlain's company of the 3rd Buffs, who had the run from Pill. town, a party of the 4th Light Dragoons, under Lieut. Blade, and two constables, under the instructions of H. W. Briscoe, J. P. eom the force. We went out in the direction of Xi an, searching all the suspicious cabins and farms in our way. The Balls divided—one party, under Lieut. Luau, took the river side—the other kept on the road. We journied along for a mile or ea, whoa we turned up a borheen, and joined the road . I accompanied the I river party ; upon which we that a body of men were moving on the opposite Desk of the river. We lay in atebnah here for soma time, but meld net clearly distinguish their movements or the direction which they took. We prommied on and searched other houses, and also Doefield eM ards, and returned back to Carrick • little before four this morning. The military last night were very much die sppelated at not having had an opportunity to fraternise with O'hiahony's form. Oa Tuesday night, however, they had • little satisfaction by pouring three rounds into them on Newton-hill ; there is no account of killed or wounded, but without doubt some lives were lat. PROVINCIAL. Tin MURDER ST A REJlier ED Lovn.—The murder of Eliza Faulkner, at Stockport, by James Kelly, a rejected lover (brief details of which were given in the Express of Saturday), seems to have created a painful sensation in the neighbourhood ; and the soene of the murder, during the remainder of the day (Friday), on which it was committed, and also on Saturday, was visited by many thousands of people. The murderer, it is stated, did not MOTO from the spot where be had commit ted the crime till taken to the police-office. It is said that he was literally drenched in his victim's blood, having in flicted a gash about seven inehes in length, deeply wounding the right carotid artery and jugular vein . The description given by the boy Sleigh, who saw the murder, that Kelly held the unfortunate girl by passing his left arm round her neck, so as to cover her mouth with the left hand while he inflicted the wound, is confirmed by the fast that when taken to the police-office he was found to have cut the lower or under side of his band, near to the root of the little finger. The blade of the knife with which the murder was committed is about three inches long, and has apparently been but recently sharpened. An inquest on the body of the young woman was held on Friday evening, at which the prisoner was present. He appeared pale and dejected.—Ann Walker sworn: Eliza Faulkner was a friend of mine. I am a weaver in Mr. Orrell's factory. The , deceased was single and lived in the same house as I did. She was nearly 21 years of ate. We were both going out together to our work this morning about ten minutes before six ; and I saw the prisoner James Kelly some distance from us waiting about. I saw him alit, and said, "Do not go to him." They bad kept company about mix months. She had told him that she would not keep his company owing to his bad character. This was en Tuesday night. She said tame," stop a few minutes ;" and I west on. When I had got to the mill, I heard of her death, a few minutes afterwards. I did not pass him us I want to the mill. I did not see him do anything, nor did I hear him speak. He was a self-eating pieeer , and a single man.—These Sleigh, aged 12 said: Ism ithrostle-doffer in Jame Wilkinacm's 'AM.

As soon as they had peeped me I saw him put his left arm round her neck, and he stab bed her in the neck. He had something in his hand, and I afterwards saw it was a large clamp-knife. Deceased turned her head and ran towards our door. She went into our house. I saw no more of her afterwards. When he cut her throat she screamed, and I maw a good deal of blood. I did not hear what she said. She screamed when he had hold of her. There was no one dose _ by iuTTialir;e7 11; - stOZ4;4ii after he had eat her throat I went away. He stood when he eat her throat.

They almost instantly returned a verdict of " Wilful murder." The prisoner was informed that he would be seaweed for trial at the assfsm—He said that he had one favour to ask, and that was, to be allowed to see the body of the deceased. He had previously intimated a wish to see the body of the deceased daring the day. His words to the coronae were: " I should like to see her ones more, it is the request of • dying man."—The Coroner replied that the power of granting this request would rest with Mr. Sadler, the chief superintendent of police, in whose charge he was. His commitment to Kirkdale, for trial at the next Live anises, was then made out, and he was removed in EXECUTION FOR MORDEE.—On Saturday Willis t Adams, who was orwricted at the last Mini, be ore Mr. Justice Crean.% of the murder of Dinah Thomas, his pars moor, at Maneherter, on the 2 ith July last, was publicly ex ecuted is front of Kirk&le gaol. As it is some time sinter an execution took place in Liverpool, there was an immense owners. of spectators present, some persons bevio g placarded the walls at the north-end of the town, announcing that the execution would take place. The m urderer, it will be re collected, despatched hie wretched victim in the street, by a ball trout a pistol, as she was proceeding to her work. Adams war apparently above the onamon order of workmen, sad there is little cloubt he was induced toswrowilt the dreadful set foe which he has paid the penalty of his life, by the promptings ofjealmay. From the condemnation of the wretched man, who et first avowed himself a Protestant, he received the chaplain of the gaol, but within the last few days he expressed • dean to he 'Weed by a Roman catholic priest, and of course this request was complied with. An attempt was made a short time ago, by a few of his friends at Manchester, to ob tain a commutation of the sentence, but the reply from the Secretary of State was, that fie saw no features of palliation to justify him in recommending an extension of the royal clemency to the culprit. Deceased was visited by his brother at Manchester a few days before his execution. A little be fore 12 o'clock the culprit, pinioned and accompanied by two priest the executioner, and a number of the turnkeys, ap peared upon the drop. His appearance was haggard and emaciated. The cap and rope being adjusted, the bolt was drum, and the wretched man, after a severe struggle of several minutes, ceased to exist. TM Liverpool Journal says :—" It was fully five minutes before life was extinct. He was dreadfully convulsed, and made several attempts to re lease his hands from the pinions by which he was fastened round the arms and waist. Calash, the hangman, was much reprehended for not having given a greater length of rope, by which his neck would have been broken at the com mencement, and also for not having given him mere room underneath the drop for his lees." YORKER'S& INSOLVENCY OP Mi BURGE, Q.G. LATE COM MISSIONER IN BANKIMPTCT.—WiiiIIIII Burge, Eel , late a Bankruptcy commissioner for the Dods district, and now a debtor in York Castle, came up to be heard on his affairs, at the Insolvent Court, York Castle, an Friday last. He wee opposed by Mr. B. Hill, barrister, on labile of several cre ditors ; Mr. Lee, of Leeds, solicitor, on behalf of several more and Mr. Sangster, of Leeds, also • elicitor, on his own behalf. Mr. Blanshard had charge of the insolvent's case ; but, by arrangement, Mr. Burge himself crossozamined the wit nesses. It appeared hem a very lengthy inquiry that the in solvent was formerly a commilaioner of bankruptcy for the Leeds district, to which ofilee he was appointed in the month of Nov., 1946. He entered upon the d isch arge of his duties in the following month, and in February, 1846, he brought his family to Leeds, and took up his residuum at Oul:on, the rent of his house being 1001, per annum. When be came to Leeds he was possessed of a v :linable library. Previous to entering upon the commirsionership, insolvent had occasion to borrow 8001., Inc which be pledged this library as security. Ho estimated the value of his law library, from the oast of It, and also from the scarcity of many of the works, at from 1,0001. to 1,6001. more than the sum for which it was held as security. These books, however, were sold for less than the 8001., and the writ for the deficiency was the in shunteat by which Mr. Burge had been committed to prison. With regard to insolvent's sources of income, he stated that he was agent for J amain, at a salary of 1,0001, per annum, sad his oommlmioncrship was worth 1,8001. a year. He was also recorder of Winchester, at a salary of 401. a year, but he did not consider that • source of emolument, as Ms travelling expenses to and trout Winches ter coat him that rum. Insolvent het the agency for Ja maica in February 1847, quite unexpectedly. When he came to Leeds he h ad that part of his law library which was not sold in London, and the miscellaneous library. He also had a large quantity of valuable furniture and wine at Oalton, the value of which he estimated at 4,000/. This property, however, in April 1847, was sold under several executions for only about 2,0001. Insolvent further stated that about 3,0001. is owing so him by • Mr. Young, a bar rister, with whom he had made joint notes for sums bor rowed at different times previously to 1846, amounting to 6,0001., and some of those sums were falling due *Len Mr. Young quitted England, leaving insolvent to pay them. At the time of his coming to Leeds, Mr. Burge reckoned his debts to amount to 14,0001., which he explained thus his lia bilities, as stated in the schedule, were 66,8741. 6s. Id , but the actual sum was 3 5 ,762 1 ., there being various items, amounting to 20,2391. 71. repeated in the sehedulo two or three times. Of the 36,764.1 , 9,4791. 7s. was contract d Were Mr. Burge came to Leeds. The sum of 20,2391. 75. - was owine to relatives and friends, who, the insolvent said. would not for one moment have allcwed the existence of their demands to operate in the slightest degree to his incon venience or prejudice. The amount of his hostile debt., therefore, amounted to nearly 16,0001., and de.lueting the sum of 7 , 6901. which Le been borrowed of Mr. Sangster, to pay a portion of insolvent's Loudon debts, and add i i= remainder of those debts now owing, there was lelt a of 14,0001. odd, which Mr. Burge treated as hostile debts. The embarrassed position in which the insolvent bad been placed was shown by the fact stated by himself in the course of his examination, that he bad on one occasion paid a premium of 1261. for the km of 1,0001 for one month. He agreed to do this on account of his dire necessity. To assist him in his difficulties, the in solvent obtained 3,0001. from the Edinburgh Life A-sumac. Society, and it was strongly put to him whether he did not represent to Mr. Jennings, a creditor, that that sum would be available for discharging the debt due to bits (Mr. Jen nings). Insolvent most positively denied having made such a representation, and he gave as • reason that he was aware the sum named had been paid in London, at the time he wag getting money of Mr. Jennings. Among other transactions the insolvent had effected reveal policies, to keep up which he had to provide annually for payment of the sum of between 1,6001. and 1,6001. The interest which Insolvent was paying amounted to 6601., and 2601. on annuities. He stated his annual expenditure to be under 1,0001., and assured the court that be had observed the strictest economy consistent with his position. In the mune of the twelve months, from January, 1848, to the beginning of last year, when the insolvent was committed to York Castle, there were as many as 40 actions at law commenced or pending in various stages against him.—The grounds of opposition were, that insolvent's debts had been contracted by fraud, and that at the time they were contracted he had no reasonable or probable expectation of being able to pay them—The examination in chief of the insolvent occupied the court about ten hours, and was then not concluded.- -Next morning (Saturday) Mr. Burge proceeded to address his honour in reply to the charge that he had contracted his debt* without reasonable or probable cause of being able to (Recharge them. He also referred to the feet that he had already been 18 months in prison, and to the numerous body of friends who had expressed their earnest hope that his imprisonment might not be continued any longer.—His Honour, in giving jud gment , , said, as far as his view of the meaning of the words reasonable and probable expectation" went, and bearing in wind the resolution of the judge., be felt himself bound to entertain a different meaning of the words to that which had been contended for by Mr. Barge. He thought that "reasonable and probable expectation,' independent of any construction which has been put upon the words by the Judges of the Insolvent Courts, meant such an expectation es a reasonable man, having the facts, or.the opportunity of ascertaining the fiats, before him, would, under the arcumstanees of the case that were prove d, entertain. Mr. Burge's argument seemed to throw overboard the adjectives " reasonable and probable," and to put the case as though the word " expectation" was alone stated in the clam. He oould not assent to that pro position.
