It was alleged by the bankrupt that his principal creditors were a Mrs. Cambial, who bad advanced large sums of money to the firm, and Messrs. s,e, Jardine, and Co., who were friendly to him (the bankrupt) at the time of his going to China. He had made 70 per eent. profit on former voyages, and expected to have made SO upon the lut venture, but did not in consequenos of the overland mail having arrived (at a foreign temtory). The failure was attributed to the fact of remittances not baring been forthcoming. He (Mr. Sham) considered it to behis duty to state, that the assignees had nothing to say against the bankrupt but in commendation, and he had done all that could be desired by the assign«. since he had arriTed ia this country, and his stoppage from it at the time ~• • ._ of 0 1 ; roCr—usi4 *ding in this noun was m lag to anange the affair in China. Them were the facts that the assignees had to lay before the court, and peed elderly the fact that the expenses exceeded the pew its, and that Macqueen left this country at a WIN when he was in a state of insolvency.—Mr. Law 'MOß upon behalf of the bankrupt, said that his learned friend had stated the cue very fairly, and, under all the circumstances of the case, he (Mr. Lawrence) submitted that the certificate ought to be immediately granted to Mr. Macqueen, who was not a mere adventurer in trade, but had been in business for thirty years, and was at one time pos sum(' of many thousands of pounds. He was engaged in speculation in team, which at one time were at a very high price in the market, but, having got gradually lower, beam, an utter less. At the time he went to China it was not in fraud of his creditors, because they were fully aware of his intentions. None of the creditors came here to complain that Mr. Macqueen had powered himself of goods by any misrepresentation, and it was true that from the year 1843 his operations had resulted in a loss, sad as soon as le found that the house in London, conducted by Mr. Macdonald, bad stopped payment, be (Macanese) stopped in China, and remained there to watch the estate which has paid five shillings in the pound. Then the only point against his (Me. Lawrence's) client could be the personal expenditure. Tens it was it amounted to 9001. a year, but at a time when be was possessed of no less a sum than 30,00 W.; and when the firm was failing the ex =were curtailed to the amount of 4001. or SOW. a year. all the circumstances of the case, considering the honest career of trading pursued by Mr. Macqueen (for 30 years), who wished to attain the position of a British mer chant, he (Mr. Tolerance) hoped that the court would grant the certificate forthwith.—Ho Houma said There is no charge against this gentleman that he has been guilty of anything like a fraud when he went to India; and it appeal.' to me that he was very sanguine, and possibly was sot very prudent in haring gone there at the time be did. The !et against his partner is in 1945, and as soon as Masques kaew that such was the case he stopped all dealings, mil, 4 Abet, !surrendered to the commission.

The bankrupts were willing and anxious to give every informatket, but it was rather a difficult thing to do to name the perdu who had failed in payment, and there wu a Misr, la Ma matter of disclosing names.—The learned Comnidenar said that could not be helped. Such an account ought to be ren dered. He asked Mr. Graham if he had any other objection? —Mr. Graham said he had not ; he did not for a moment say that the accounts were not true, but fuller amounts could be rendered.—Mr. Lawrence said the sew would adjourned for that purpose—The case was ties adjourned, and on the application of Mr. Lawmen the bankrupts were granted an allowance.—The sweeps aotoosted to 10,0001., and it is expected that many of the incognito daises wad i cane forward with their subscription.

CORETEN.—" SECURITY REQUIRED."—ThiE insolvent, a florist and soodsman, was opposed by a creditor named Powell. The present was his third appearance in this court, and the complaint made by Powell was, that he had fraudulently deprived him of 501. It appeared that the insolvent had engaged Powell as shopmaa and clerk, re quiring him to deposit the sum of 501. by way of security. At the termination of his engagement, however, Powell neither received the 601. back, nor the amount of his salary. Another @hope= had been served in the same way, but did not oppose.—The learned Commiwioner remarked that the opposing creditor had been dealt very unfairly with by the insolvent, who would be remanded for three months from the date of the vesting ardor.—Remanded accordingly.

Amon att., god a Special Jury. Tux RUNNING Rune O. WEST.— This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a respectable tradesman in the neighbourhood, against the defendant, the landlord of the Masons' Arms public-house, in Tichborne s Edgware-tad, to recover 201., the amount of the second re prise in a Derby sweep in the memorable Running Rein year.—Mr. Townsend, on behalf of the plaintiff, stated that, in the month of December, 1843, a Derby club had been established at the house of the defendant, to which the plaintiff became a subscriber, and paid in a guinea as his stake for the approaching Derby race. The money subscribed by the members was to be divided —lOOl. for the first, 201. for the second; and 221. to be divided amongst starting hones. At the drawing of the horses the plaintiff got the hone lonian allstted to him; and this horse came in third in the race; but owing to some strong doubt entertained at the time that the first horse, Running Rain, was disqualified, an appeal was made to the Jockey Club, and those gentlemen and subsequently a coat of law pronounced him to be so. The consequence was that Orlando, the second horse, was deemed entitled to the first place; and the third, lonian, to the second, so that his holder, or rather the holder of the ticket re presenting him, wu entitled to 20/. The plaintiff, who was the holder of that ticket, served the defendant with a notice to the effect that he was not to pay the second stakes te any but him. But, notwithstanding this, the defendant thought proper to pay the prises to the holders of the tickets of Running Rein end Orlando, and the object of the iron, action r, a that et einaintop at it! hands of the court end jury tnu so which he had been entitled to since the lest week in Ma 11444. The learned gentleman, after referring to some leg al autho rities on the subject, called the plaintiff, Mr. Wm. Wiltshere, who deposed to having subscribed a guinea to the sweep established at the house of the defendant, and having had the ticket of the hone lonian drawn for him. Hs also stated that he had, soon after the race served the defendant with a notice not to give up the second prise, of 201., to any person but him, as he was legally entitled to it. He subse quently called on the defendant, when he said all the matter was settled, and offered him 17s. 6d. as the holder of a starting hone. In his cross-examination by Mr. Wallinger, the mantes said he was not *attain whether he sent the letter to the defendant by post or not, but thought it was by post; but he had a witness in court, who could prove the fact of the prisoner having read the letter in his powossion:—Mr. Wallinger addressed the court at some length, and contended that under the statute of M & 11 George 111., for the suppression of illegal lotteries, the transaction in question was illegal, and the plaintiff could not recover. The Ws, he said was, that Mr. West, the defend ant, felt himself called upon agreeably to his rules, and with out waiting for the decision of the Jockey Club or the Court of Exchequer, to pay the prises to the holders of the tickets of Running Rein and Orlando, and it would, therefore, be monstrous a the month of October, 1847, to compel him to pay a second time a sum of 201. which be bad paid in May, 1844. In the case of the half-guinea sweep for the same year the holder of the ticket far lonian brought an action against Mr. West, the present defendant, for the recovery of the second prise, but the plaintiff was nonsnited, the court bolding that the transaction was illegal. If, therefore, the higher court, had ruled that the transience was an illegal one, he felt satisfied that the jury, under the direction of the learned jades, would explain to them the law, would give a v for the defeadant.—Mr. Townsend, in reply, said that the set of the Bth and 9th of Victoria repealed that of the 10th and 11th oldsters' the Third, and as this statute had been paned subsequest to the decision in the Court of Exchequer, the plaintilbad a clear right to recover. But be sides this it was quits ekes that though the statute might debar a Oaintiff from beittiisr an sedan in the superior courts at Westminster, there vas nedito prevent his doing so in a musty court, and iesneeeing.- - fle learned Judge, in sum- 1 ming up, remarked that he was eiserlp of opinion that the transaction at the tine Urns mewed eat woo en illegal trans action, and if they, the jury, decided contrary, the verdict would be their, , — The jury (Ave in number), Uttar consult ing for some minutes, set re asked by the natter of the court if they had considered their verdict, when one of them replied that they had. and that they had found for the defendant. — This was said With evident reluctance, aad one of the jurors instantly replied, " that is not my verdict by any means." — The learned Judge he ro repeated that it was his decided opi nion that the transaction originally was illegal, and that the verdict, therefore, should be for the defendant. He (the horned judge) h ad no hesitation, is the face of the public, to 'spree this to be his opinion . — 'h jury again consulted,but it was perfectly clear from their manner that they were not likely to Well, and that one of thane at least had determined upon holding oat. It was here pointed out to the learned judge that by the 89th seetion of the County Courts Act he had the Rower, where he had no doubt as to the law, to direct s nensuit The plaintif f was accordingly rionsuited. —The court was much crowded during the proceeding.

Gregory, the driver of one of the Post office omnibuses under Captain Abbott, was charged with wilfully flinging a boy, named David Bryan, aged eight years, from the steps of one of those vehicle., whereby his life wu endangered. It appeared that the prisoner was driving an omnibus at a walking pace along Skinner-street, and that three boys were riding behind. Finding this to be the case he descended from his seat, when one of the boys ran away, the second he caught by the jacket and pulled backwards into the road, and the third, David Bryan, he seized by the seat of his trousers, and with great violence pitched him on his head. One of the witnesses said that he did not think the prisoner intended committing such an in jury purposely, but still he ought to have used more discre tion in removing such youngsters. From the nature of the wound the witness thought it very probable that the child's head came in contact with the corner of one of the steps.— Mr. M'Dougal, margeen, of Snow-hill, stated that the child had received • severe scalp wound, about two inches in length, and three in breadth. The child at first was in great danger, but he now thought it would recover, but be some time before it was quite well. He might be able to attend in about a fortnight.—The prisoner, in defence, said that he never intended to injure the boy when he pulled him off the omnibua.—Alderman Johnson said he should remand the cue to that day fortnight, and as the child appeared out of danger, he would admit the pri soner to bail, himself in 401. and two sureties of 201. each.— The required bail being put in, the prisoner was discharged. ROBBERY BY • Seavaart.—A young girl named Mar garet Burke, who on Saturday voluntarily gave herself up to the City police, was charged with robbing her mistress of a variety of articles of wearing apparel, under the follow ing circumstances: The mistress, Ann Cocker, of 21, Thavies inn, stated that the pr loner, with whom she had received • twelvemonth!' sod c,haract , :r forindustry, honesty, sobriety, sad civility, entered her service about two :Moths since, and appeared to suit remarkably well. She absconded on Tuesday last, when witness discovered that two valuable dresses had been taken, likewise two pairs of sheets, one shawl, and one table.clotb the value of which unwanted to 71.—Alderman Johnson salted if any of the articles bad been found ?—The Constable said they had not. The prisoner re fused telling any one but her mistress where they were pledged.—Alderman Johnson asked the prisoner if she would not tell him where?—After some reluctance she con• fused that some of the things were pawned at Mr. Martin's, Snow-hill, others at Mr. Peache's, of Goewell-etreet, and the remainder at Mr. Walters', in Aldersgate-street. She, however, would not tell what induced her to steal the articles and abscond.—Alderman Johnson remanded her for the prodnetion of the property. WORSHIP-STREET.—OOI/MITIAL OP A TRAY/PAEAN roe FELONY.—Edmund Harwood, a boy 12 years of age, was placed at the bar for final examination, charged with havint w beien h coneern;;l i in long - continued l series t of robberies te • chapel, 1, an dat er, ;Irot:ar w h o l es al e a m man u u ac ter ure st r ioe 'n maker, in Vaughan-place, Commercial-road, we. charged with having received the stolen property.—The prosecutor, who gave his evidence with extreme emotion, stated that for a long time past portions of his stock had disappeared in an unaccount able manner, and from eircumetanors that recently tran alired it became clearly manifest that his son, whom he had waye treated with the greaten kindness and affection, had been privy to its abstraction. About three weeks ago the boy suddenly absconded from home; but was shortly after wards recovered, and witness resorted to the extreme mea sure of chaining hint up, to separate him effectually from the depraved emaciates with whom he was connected; he con trived, however, to effect his escape by dropping into the street, and, having returned the neat morning before the family were up, carried off a quantity of property. Witness at length lost all hope of his reclamation, and proceeded to a house efMfamous character, where he understood he was harboured, and gave him into custody. In consequence of some subsequent Information, he repaired to the shop of the prisoner Thorne, and questioned him as to whether he had not been in the habit of purchasing boot-fronts from a boy, at the rate of a shilling per pair, when their actual cost price war 2a. 3d. The prisoner, after some hesitation, admitted that for four or eve months past, a little boy had brought such goods to his house two or three times a week, but said that he had given more for them than the price specified by the witness; and. on being asked if he had any then by him, acknowledged that he had, and produced about three pair, which witnesa identified, by a private mark, as his property. The witness then called in • policeman, who was waiting eutaide, at whose appearance the prisoner pulled out several others, a recess beneath the shop-window and • back room, which he confessed having bought in • similar manner. T..e period during which tht prisoner admitted having pur. chased the stolen property exa , tly corresponded with the length of time his eon had pursued dishonest courses, and the witness emphatically observed, " if the prison er h a d not acted se a receiver, the poor boy would never love been • thieL"—A lad named Henry Hazel proved having mom- Maildthe younger prisoner, who had some boot-fronts in penesofiem, is Thorne's shop, which he left without them, end doled that he had sold them there.—Mr. Arnold said that simald artainly send the ease for trial, but would, in the 11101111111" assuat to an extension of the bail already put in kr the elder prieoner's future appearance. SOUTHWAkX.—Coaane AGAINST A SCROOLIBASTBIL. —Mr. John Monday, one of the masters of the Ber mondsey parochial; schools, was summoned for exercising undue severity towards John Block, a little boy seven years nr one of the scholars.—The boy being of too tender an -7,0 iw morn: kJ , mow ,„ the - was th t erefore called forward, M er. and from her statement C • i - • -.7*P14 that on Fri day last her child returned home from acnool crying, and on being questioned, he described that he had been very much beaten by the defendant. One aide of his face and ear were vary much swollen and red, and there was a slight wound behind the latter, as if he had been struck with consi derable violence. He also exhibited marks of being flogged. The defendant admitted that he punished him in the usual way, with a rod, hut that he had ao recollection of having struck him in the face.—He was then asked if he had wit nesses to prove that he did not strike the child a blow; but he replied in the negative, remarking that he did not sup poem he required any witnesses.—The magistrate said that be was of opinion violent:and unnecessary severity had be en used ; that if the correction of the rod only had been carried into effect there would not have been room for much com plaint ; but when it was evident that the child had in addi tion to that been struck', with violence in the face, it was conduct on the part of a schoolmaster highly censurable. He (the magistrate) should therefore inflict a fine of forty shillings and costs on the defendant. THAMES.—Bitnazztzursir.--John Dennett, carman, la the employ of Messrs. Masterman and Ce., the extensive brewers, Ratcliffe highway, was charged with having em beveled various sums of money, the property of kis employers, amenating in the whole to 431. 19L—Mr. Junes Rader, th=of Meseta. Masterman and Co.'s brewery, stated ao the prisoner', duty to carry out beer. Some implidat bed arisen that he had kept back and appro priated te his own use several sums of money he had re ceived is payment. From the prisoner's own confession, and partly from a strict investigation, defalcations to the above amount were discovered. They also found that on several occasions the prisoner had taken out casks of beer to dif ferent customers of the Messrs. Masterman ; but instead of de livering them as he ought to have done, he had sold the beer to ether parties and appropriated the money to his own use.— T. Polled produced two receipts in the prisoner's handwriting, the one dated April 28, for the sum of 98. 3d. ; the other, May 26, for a similar amount. Thomas Brooke, Esq., of Bromley-hall, paid the prisoner Sc. on Nov. 3, 1846 ; 9s. on Jan. 26, 1847 ; and 81. on Jane 15 following; for each of which sums he produced the prisoner's receipt —lsabella Butcher, servant to Mr. Robertson, of Hackney, paid the prisoner 9s. 6d. on Aug. 21, for which she also produced the prisoner's receipt The several witnesses declared that the pri soner signed the various receipts in their presence, at the time he received the money.—Mr. Render then pr oduced the books of the firniland proved that the prisoner had never accounted for either of these sums.—Mr. Pelham said be should reserve the defence. He would merely state that he had that morning received a letter frem Mr. Masterman, dating that the firm wished the case to be dealt with leni ently, oa account of the prisoner's family.—Mr4Yardley rid that might avail him in another place. The case, however, had been fully proved, and it was his duty to commit the pri soner to take his trial for the felonious embezzlement. OBBTRUCTING A CUBTOM-HOUSI OTFICBIL—Robert Lee, chief engineer on board the City of Rotterdam, continental Bruner, was charged with obstructing Samuel Aldred, a custom-house officer, in the execution of his duty.—Samuel Aldred deposed that, on the 18th of September, he was on board the City of Rotterdam steamer, which was then lying off the Tower. About four o'clock in the afternoon, the second engineer came up on deck and showed witness two long German_ pipe*, and inquired whether they were liable to duty. Witness replied "No" ; but observing that his pockets looked very bulky, asked him if he had anything about him that was liable, and he acknowledged having some cigars and a bottle of bitters, adding, " de not search me on deck, but come down to the engine-room." Witness assented, and whilst in the act of searching him, the defend ant, Robert Lee, interposed, ordered him out of the way, and the second engineer escaped. Witness then turned his attention to the stoker, who was in the act of leaving the vessel, and staked him if he had anything liable to duty. He said he had a packet of cigars and a bottle of Geneva, and witness replied, " Then you are my prisoner." Lee, bow. ever, refired to let him be searched or surrender himself, and abused witness in a most gross manner, ordering him to leave the engine-room—Mr. Yardley : But what did he do ? Nothing ; he only told the man not to go, and said, " My man put on your hat and jacket and go to work." By order of the magistrate this witness repeated hie statement again in al moat the same words, and it was not until closely pressed, almost led, by Mr. Beverly, that he gave a third ac count, adding, that the defendant had pushed between him and the second engineer, thus preventing his being taken and altogether contradicted his former assertion, and prevaricated so much that Mr. Yardley said, unless corro borated, he could not believe him.—John Freeling, another custom-house officer, was called, but his evidence did not prove any obstruction . — Mr. Yardley : I hope my decision will not be missuodentood; the defendant's language was highly improper; but the question is whether he has been guilty of such conduct as to bring him under so penal a statute, where I have no option but to inflict at least six smile iseprionsart with had labour, Now, if the officer bad arid at first the tame story ma he did the third time after being pressed, and baring received divers intimations when the pith of the case lay, I should have considered it an obstruction ; but my judgment is simply this lam not altogether satisfied of the truth of the evidence of that man, and I think the story he told twice more probable than his last one, and I dismiss the case.—Thia decision was received with applause, which was checked, and the defendant left the court. -- iIXiikERSMITEL—ATTIDITT TO HURL A MAN FROM I. Scarroio.—Michoel Flartnighan, an Irish labourer, was charged with having assaulted Samuel Hart, the foreman of the bricklayers engaged in the erection of the new workhouse at Kensington.—lt appeared that the prisoner was employed by Mr. Burton. Yesterday morning he came to his work at 7 o'clock instead of 6 o'clock, and Mr. Hart lost sight of him again from the works before 8 o'clock, not having been at work quite half an hour. From that time he was not again seen until 1 o'clock, when, on the return of the workmen from their dinner, the prisoner presented himself, and said he should take the whole of that day for a holiday. Mr. Hart told him he might take that day and the following days for holidays, as he had already put a fresh man on in his place. Mr. Hart then ascended the ladders to the top scaffold, a height of about 40 feet, and about a quarter of an hour afterwards the prisoner went to him there and de manded payment for an hour's work he said he had done in the morning. Mr. Hart told him be must go to the office for it, but he refused to do so, and seized hold of Mr. Hart by one of his arms and his throat, and threatened that he would thus burl him from the scaffold. A fearful struggle then took place between Mr. Hart and the prisoner, the latter I trying to force him towards the edge of the scaffold. Mr. Hart, however, by a great effort on his part, fell against a part of the back wall, where it was about two feet above the scaffold ; and at that juncture the men from all parts of the building rushed to his assistance, and overpowered the pri soner, who was instantly given into custody.—Mr. Poynter asked Mr. Hart, whose evidence was fully corroborated by two of the brieklayen, if be wished the case should go for trial.—Mr. Hart said it would be a great inconvenience to him if it was sent for trial. He would prefer leaving it in the hands of the court.—Thu prisoner, in answer to the charge said he was entitled to be paid for the hour he had worked, which was all he asked Mr. Hart ; but as to having had an idea of throwing the complainant off the scaffold, he would put it to the magistrate whether it was likely he would do so when 'is knew it was nearly forty feet high ? Mr. Payntar said the case was a vary merlons one, and if the prisoner was committed for trial, his punishment would be very severe, it being an attempt to destroy life. As Mr. Hart declined to prosecute, he could only inflict the very inadequate punishment of a line of M. or two months im prisonment.—The prisoner was committed in default of payment. WANDSWORTH. —Ceram' or BIGAMY.— Samuel Toombs, a journeyman carpenter, was finally examined on a charge of bigamy.—John Stride, of 27, Victoria.street, New Deptford, proved that he had known the prisoner many years, and was present about seven years since at the parish church of St. George's, Bloomsbury, when the prisoner was married to Mary Wooldridge, who was now present. He was one of the witneems to that marriage, and saw them living together three or four years since.—James Poor, of the Fulham.road, Hammersmith, proved that he was present at the marriage of the prisoner with Martha Ginger ; the etre mony took place at St. Luke's Church, Chelsea, about 16 months since.—Police constable Gibbs, 77 V, stated that on last Saturday week the prisoner was given into his custody at Balham-bill by his first wife, who charged him with bigamy. The prisoner said, "I am very sorry ; I'll go with you quietly." The witness produced copies of the registers of the two marriages. The prisoner declined making any defence, and was fully committed. GREENWICH.—THIS BRIGHTON AND SOUTH EAST ERN RAILWAT.--T. Week, W. Spitler, R. Gots:milk, T. Howell, T. Brock, and W. Elliott, appeared on remand, charged by W. Acton, the superintendent of the Brighton railway polim, with placing a log of timber on the up-line of the Brighton, London, and South Eastern Railway. The defendants are carpenters, working under !he contractor of works for the company, and reside at Sydenham.—J. Wet son, night signal-man at the Forest hill station, proved that on Friday, Oct. 1, at ten minutes to 7 cm., the defendants, being employed by the contractor, were removing a heavy piece of timber. He maw en engine on the up-line, and the defendants crossing it with a log of timber, about 130 yards in front. Witness had a slow signal up, and called to the driver to whistle ; but he did not appear to hear him until within forty-fire or forty-seven yards. The defendants saw danger, es it appeared to witness, threw the timber down, and ran away, except Spiller, who remained, and tried to remove it in time. The timber lay in a slanting direction, and the engine struck it away. The contractor or hie foreman ought to have given previous no tice of the actual time to moss the line with a load. A down train was coming at the time. Could not my that the de fendants knew the train was coming or overdue. If witness had been aware of danger he should have pot up the stop signals. The driver and stoker of the pilot engine were in great danger.—Wm. Del mar, foreman to Mr. Bashby, the contractor, raid gave he orders to the defendants to re move the timber ; the piece in question required six men to carry it. They were to cross the line which WY clear at the time. It was witness's business to see that it was so. Wu not aware that a train had passed or was about to ar rive.—Mr. Truill said it appeared that he was to blame ' and not the men, as it was his duty to see that all was sa fe.— Witness continued : He did not tell the signal-man, it being , supposed that he was always aware of the timing of the trains.—Mr. Trail! said that extraordinary and special trains travel at any hour.—The witness said " Yes." He could not account for such arrivals, having various duties to perform about the works. Mr. Train said it was a neglect of duty on the part of witness almost amounting to a wilful act—Witness replied that it was done entirely without a thought. —Mr. Trull said he ought to have been charged, and not the defendants. —Henry Humbly, brother of the contractor, said that fre quent orders were given on the line when trains were ap preaching. In the present case they . knew nothing of the engine coming. It would take two minutia to pass the tim ber over the line. They ought not to have moved until the train had pared. Thv were 40 yards off on the down line when the train appeared. There was great risk at times in removing timber. The pilot engine of the up line struck _we T..ilt nhotaread that it was a nwriatt of serious import, and that, under the Railway Act, parties so offending were liable to a penalty of 101., or two months' imprisonment. The charge as against the defendants must be dismissed, and attach to the foreman ' • it turning out, upon his own admission, as well as other testimony, that he was to blame. There had been gross negligence. If the down train had arrived before the pilot engine the occurrence would have been tan times more disastrous. Mr. Train said be should floe the foreman 40s. for giving improper and loose instructions.—The money being paid, the parties withdrew. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1847.

The confusion in the stock market to-day has been even worse than before. Consols, which opened at 81 to money, and 81} to for account, showing so small a cont;nuation as to represent a return of con fidence, fell quite on a sudden to nearly 1 per cent, for money stock. The cause of this was the report of the suspension of payment by the Royal Bank of Li verpool, which, later on in the day, was confirmed. The result was, that Consols left off 791 to 801 money, and 80„ to account. Exchequer Bills, 328. to 255. discount ' • Bank Stock, 180 to 3 ; India Stock, 222 to 5 ; Long Annuities, 81 to 3-16. In foreign stocks the business was extremely con tracted as usual, and prices may be r epo rted as sub stantially the same. The only partic ula rity was, that Danish bonds were done at 80, which is a large fall in a well-accredited stock. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 621 to 31 ; the Fours, 82 to 3. Spanish Fives, 161 to 171 ; the Threes, 26 to 7. Por tuguese, 20 to 2. As Messrs. Roberta, Curtis, and Co. had made various payments in the early part of the morning on account of the Royal Bank of Liverpool, it was erroneously clammed that reports which were pre- 1 valent of its insolvency were unfounded, as Roberta and Company are its London correspond ents. At the close of the day it was ascertained that although such payments were made, they were not on account of the bank, or its corresponding agency here, but solely for private parties having accounts with the Liverpool bank who desired their bills to be covered, and the disastrous news was con• firmed by what appeared in a late edition of this paper, from the Liverpool Albion of this morning. The following particulars of this serious and im portant event are supplied us by our Liverpool cor respondent: , The people in Liverpool were taken by surprise this morning by the announcement that the Royal Bank of Liverpool had stopped payment ; and at 10 o'clock the following notice waa issued : The directors of the Royal Beak of Liverpool regret to have to announce that, owing to the extreordinary presort of the time., they conceive it to be to the later= of ell camera= to =spend the opera bons of the bank until the result of the proceedings of a deputed= now in Loodon hea been imertelned, which will be immediately announoed.—Monday, Oct. is, lel7. So unexpected was this proceeding that the chair man of the directors was ignorant of it until his arrival in town this morning. The Royal Bank was considered by every person in Liverpool as one of the safest in the kingdom. It bore a high character, and the directors and shareholders are among the most respectable and opulent in Lancashire : it was, in . fact, regarded as the most aristocratic of joint stock banks, and, such was its success, that it has been complimented frequently on its excellent management. Suspicion was first elicited last week by a sharebroker offering its shares at a great reduction, the decline being 1001. The result. we understand, was a partial run, and it oozed out that it had ad vanced to three houses only the enormous sum of 1,000,0001. This turns out to be a fact. The direc tors went to London on Friday last to solicit assistance from the Bank of England, end that establishment, on the statement of the case, was disposed to drag them through ; but as a precaution Itfr. Alderman Thompson went down to inspect the accounts. On finding that the slim of 420,0001. had been advanced to one house, and that 600,0001. had been advanced to three others, he, on the part of the Bank, declined to wrist. The result was a suapensien of payment, but the impression is, that a deputation from the bank now in London will be able to arrange so as to resume payment. The directors have a direct inte rest in doing so, and- they are all very wealthy people. " On Saturday the mercantile interest in Liverpool were congratulating themselves on the cessation of the panic ; the bills falling due that day and Monday had been all provided for, and no further failure was apprehended. The announcement this morning, however, filled the town with dismay, and a run on the other banks was apprehended, but we are happy to hear that there was no run properly so called people, principally ladies, having small deposits, hastened to withdraw them, bat in the mercantile classes there was no feeling of apprehension. In fact very few parties have money in the hanks, and the Liverpool banks are all sound. The Borough 'Bank to-day was so eager to meet all demands that they kept the doors open long after bank hours, and purposed to open them an hour before the usual time this morning. ' After what is said above, it is unnecessary to add that the Royal Bank of Liverpool will ultimately meet all engagements, for it holds undoubted seen ritiss for all monies advanced." This is also the general opinion among par ties best informed on the matter in London. 'The proprietary was about the richest of joint stock banks. Five hundred pounds at once were paid on every share, and in consideration of the well-known wealth of the proprietary, the shares went up to more than 3001. premium. Messrs. Ra bat% Curtis, and Co. are entirely covered. But the losses and embarrassments in Liverpool and Lanca shire consequent, cannot fail to be serious, although the stoppage of the bank may be, and doubtless will be, only temporary. It is satisfactory to know that this unfortunate affair will interfere little with the course of money affairs. The country banks have been strengthening themselves for some time past. The town banks are holding three times their usual reserve. The following is the favourable exhibit of Messrs. Castellain's estate, prepared by Mears. Quilter, Ball, The following is a report of the meeting of persons interested in the affairs of the great Eaat India House of Messrs.
