LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. il:efore Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE V %RCVS DAV& . wa% an application for release out of custody. The sla, had carried on the business of a nay f agent in .tol• had, after his arrest, executed a deed pro . i r payment of a composition of lid in the pound liar to his creditors. The deed was registered 7th of September, the conditions mentioned in .1 section of the act of IWil having been com .. ~.th, and notice of the present applicatiOn supported ,tit was then given to the detaining creditor, who t, i val.stor of the Accidental and Marine Insurance • v Limited). • i so behalf of the debtor, produced the oer ct registration, which he submitted was prima ‘,lence of the validity of the deed. If the creditors I to contest the deed, they might do so hereafter; .tin matter now stood, he submitted that the debtor • 'tied to his release. Keed (instructed by Messrs. Lewis:Munns, and Co.), r p".ing the application, contended that the creditors At ka,t entitled to the opportunity of investigating da , l before the debtor was allowed to be released. ~c,ounts had been filed in quality-court, which, the proper office for the purpose, was meet in viitent, and the creditors desired that copies of all the ,unients might be supplied to them, as it was not ,-0n.11.1r for them to be put to the trouble and expense obtaining copies. The court had to determine whether ne deed was such a deed as was contemplated by the .:,cute: the composition was certainly unreasonable, and ~',Lace had been given upon a former occasion of the bar' , ability to pay bis just debts in full. He asked that •,e application should be ordered to stand over for the After hearing Mr. Bagley in reply, Mr. t'ommiuioner Winslow said that, in his opinion, the ,nus was upon the debtor to prove that the deed he had vsecuted was valid. The requirements of the statute, it rats true, had been complied with, but upon investigation oth.r circumstances might appear which would be fatal to at validity of the deed. It was reasonable that the one-' dit.o should have time for investigation, but he should n. ; uire them to proceed with the inquiry without delay. In a cue where the liberty of the subject was concerned he I no doubt the officers of the court would do all in their wer to facilitete and hasten the investigation. The plication was accordingly directed to stand over. THZ POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. TNIE BURGLARY IN THE CITY. 1 4s Norriagrort, a stoker who refused to rciTe his .:dress; James and William Dyer, two brothers, living st 4, Stephen-street, Tottenham Court-road ; Goave an, of N 0.7, Little Allen-street, Clerkenwell, and Alfred I 14,, 7, Stephen-street, Tottenham Court-reed ; were I teed at the bar on remand before Aldermen Basler, the fur first prisoners charged with being_ concerned breaking into the premises of Mr. Quint, Nos. 1 and 2, 'Aeon-street, Falcon-guars, and stealing therefrom a tuntity of goods ; and Blake was charged with receiving , portion of the same, well knowing them to have been _ Ring appeared for ?Torrington, and James and William Dyer, and Mr. Muol,aim for Blake. The eridenc:e previously taken was read over to the wit woes and confirmed. John Lequiro added that he left a piece of calla) with YAne linen inside on the counter at Mr. Quint', on the utorday previous to the robbery, and on the Monday he moved them. Miss ICarran, forewoman to Mr. Quint, identified one piece of linen by a mark which she had made on it. She nuked it, and it was not straight, so she threw it on me side until she had time to oorrect it. By Mr. King—She swore positively to the linen by the mark, which was a folding mark, and by nothing elm. George Whitney, detective officer, said that the calico and linen were found in the drawer in a room where J. nd W. Dyer lodged. When he went to Blake's house he bent for that prisoner, told him what he had found, and .eked him who occupied the cellar, and he said nobody but himself, and nobody had any right to go there, but he h.id not been into the place since christuias. He further said, in answer to questions, that Mrs. Barry, sister to the Dyers, lived in his second-floor. He knew that the Dyers were in custody. They frequently rime to the house, but he never saw them go down stairs. If be had, he would have at once asked them what they wanted there. He (witness) bad no evidence to show that that riatement was not correct. Detective-sergeant Moss said, in justiee to the prisoner Make, he must say that he believed his statement was true. Mr. Buchanan said that every word of it was true, and Mrs. Barry the sister of tbe two Dyers, was prepared to prove that J ames Dyer asked her to take care of some pro perty he had bought at a sale, and she at his request fetched a box home, and the next day she left him in her room while she went for dinner, and when she came back the box was empty. Elizabeth Barry said Per husband was a carver and gilder, and the two Dyers were her brothers. In August last James Dyer asked her to go with him to bring some property to her place, which he had bought at a sale. She went with him to a house, and he shoved her a large box about 4 ft. long. She took it home in a cab, and her brother called neat morning, and said be was going to take thole things away. She went out for her dinner, and when she came beck he told her he had taken the things away, but he must leave the box for a day or two. Re vas in the habit of coming t o th e h ouse as a brother. She had lived there four years, and he called perhaps once a week. John Davis 921, mid—On Sunday, the 15th of Septem ber, between half-past 7 and 8 o'clock in the evening, be saw James Dyer and Shaw in Falcon -innate, looking towards Mr. Quint's premises. They were talking toge ther, .uul looking round very cautiously, and then they sett into the public-house in Silver-street. Os the pre , uus Saturday he saw Shaw at the corner of Aldersgate but et, in company with James Dyer. 14 Mr. Ring—Me was not quite certain about Dyer on Saturday, but positive on Sunday. He saw the two pri. steers distinctly in the public-house. John Rosa proved that at the December sessions 1865, the prisoner John Norrington was tried for burgllry at be Central Criminal Court and sentenced to 18 months' bid labour. Alderman Bealey discbarpd the prisoner Blake, and sod he always had great pleasure in discharging a person who proved his innocence as clearly as Blake had done. The other four prisoners were remanded for some formal Janes and WaMani Dyer wen then charged with being a the unlawful possession of a number of stolen umbrellas. George Whitney, said, on September 21 he went with 14ee and Green to the Dyers' lodgings, No. 4, Stephen. street, Tottenham-court-road, and in their roam he found three umbrellas, six covers, and four pieces of silk cut for umbrellas. He tidied them how they accounted for them, led William Dyer mid, " They are our own." Edward Allen said he was an umbrella and parasol maker, carrying on business at RN, Regent-street. He be bend the umbrellas produced were his property. The rake of them wee and Me. They had not been told, but hail been taken from his premises, which had been broken into between the :ird and sth of August. He locked up the premises on the Saturday night, and on the lion&y morning he missed those umbrellas, together with between 200 and 300 others, and six rolls of silk. John Allen, son of the last witness, proved finding that the premises had been broken into with a crowbar or .ome suchynst►ument. The place was in great confusion, and he missed a large quantity of goods. He identified two of the umbrellas produced by the finishing. By Mr. Ring—Every umbrella .was finished ey himself and none were entreated to any workman. Mr. Edward Allen said be had examined the RB um brella.' found at the house No. 7, Stephen-street, and they were his property. The prisoners were then remands& WORSHINSTRHJIT. r ROBBIRT BY AN INLAND HOT. Jam's Saunders, a decently dressed boy, between 14 and 17, years of age, was charged with stealing an umbrella from a shop in the City. A week pest one of the metropolitan polies, while in ff i boreilitch, observed the prisoner walking along and carry ing an umbrella, evidently new, and wrapped in paper, he manifested so much confusion on seeing the constable looking earnestly at him, that when asked where he hail obtained the article, be stammered and replied, " A gentleman gave it to me to carry." Nothing further would he otter, consequently he was taken to the station-house and charged with possessing the property, and not giving • satisfactory account of the same. On the following morning, before Mr. Newton, at this court, be ad mitted having stolen it, and to that voluntary sistement added that he was an errand boy, that while engaged in carrying parcels and mes sages from his master to Messrs. Allen and Co, um- Isella manufacturers, 157, Cheapside, he generally con tamed to " do • lift "in the shape of an umbrella which be afterwards disposed of to a Jew whom he was ac quainted with in Petticoat-lane ; that they were worth mil tkl. and upwards, but he sold them to his friend be:ia, gd. each. Mr. Newton, clearly with the view of pacing thin Hebrew gentleman brought before him as • receiver of the stolen umbrellas mentioned_ directed a re mewl, and permitted prisoner to put in bail, on the under stioiling that he should assist the police in finding his who certainly ought to be prosecuted; but his wor mn was now informed that a though the prisoner had ,aPtarently used him b es t endeavours, they had yet !nssu Unsuccessful in catching the Jew, who was still at AY,:e, nor sou there any reasonable hope of their succeed g. The pro secu t ors id ent i fi e d their property, and, sa 00thIng in the shape of a similar accusation weld be ad aced Wien the prisoner, be was. having professed great eontrition, sent for throe months' hard labour to the Roue of Correction. TEE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1867. DIARYLEBOICE. 9111.11• L I,UTRAGL UN A CONATABLL De.eis DineAun, a tall Irishman, was brought up on remand charged with • brutal assault upon a police-sou stable whilst in theemeoution of his duty. Police-constable Smith. 302 13, who appeal-ea very weak and had his head bandaged up, said—About 1 o'clock I WWI on duty in the Leybourne-road, Kentish-town. I kJ occasion to speak to a prostitute who was behaving in a disorderly manner with a man under • railway arch. I sent the man away in one direction and the woman ur the other. I had scarcely done so when the prisoner, in company or two other men, came up and asked me " What the did I interfere with women for." I told him to go away and mind his own business, when he gave me a violent blow and knocked me down. lie ran off and I went after him. He went into • house and brought out • pair of tongs and gave me • tremendous blow on the back of my head, which stupefied me. Another of the men then struck me on my arms, and the third took away my staff. I fell, and the two men who have escaped kicked me on my neck. and I became senseless. If the mob had not come to my rescue I must have been killed. I am now not fit for duty. The above evidence was corroborated by witnesses. Mr. l'ain cross-examined at some length, but failed to shake the evidence. _ _ _ Mr. d'Eyncourt committed the prisoner for trial EXPLOSION AT A COTTON MILL-L 5,000 DAMAGE. About forty minutes past 6 o'clock yesterday morning an explosion of a most destructive character took Ellice at the works of Messrs. iloderinson, Swan, mid Cod ng, cotton spinners and manufacturers, Mill-hill Cotton Works, Livesey, near Blackburn. About 800 hands are employed in the various processes at the works, which comprise an extensive building several stories high, and adjoining it to the west is an immense weaving shed, containing 790 loom., over 100 yards long and 40 or 50 yards wide, and imme diately contiguous • cotton store shed, 40 yards long by some 14 yards wide. At the north-east corner of this shed are two boilers of 30-horse power each, partitioned off from the store by • brick wall. A few months ago, Mr. Bison, engineer, Oldham, furnished the firm with an apparatus patented by him, for heating the water by which the boilers are fed, previously to entering it. This arrangement con-1 sisted of a series of forty 13-inch pipes or "bottles," several feet in length, which were placed in a nest in an upright position in the store, immediately over the due by means of which the water was heated. At the time before named this contrivance exploded with • report like thun der, shaking the whole neighbourhood, and causing an amount of damage to the mill roughly estimated at from 5.0001. to 6,0001. The store shed and boiler house are • heap of ruins. The mischief done to the weaving shed arose solely from the failing ditris, which smashed through the elates and glass on the closely-packed looms beneath. It is said that the twists in at least 500 looms have been broken. Fragments of the heating apparatus, stones )one weighing 5 cwt., and two yards long), the coping of the shed, an iron steam chest from the boiler house weighing 3 cwt., bricks, slates, troken beams, Ac.. fell in • thick shower, penetrating the frail roof in all directions, and in some ciao at least 100 yards from the scene of the explosion. The most wonderful thing connected with the affair is that, although so many hundreds of workpeople were engaged in their ordinary occupation in the immediate proximity, not one life has been lost. Six persons are reported to have received injuries, but none of these are of • serious nature. A girl named Brindle, cut on the head and other parts of her body, was immediately takes to the infirmary, but she was able during the course of the day to walk home. ►« 100 100 100 100 • ill 20 all la 1•0 SO 100 SHARE LISTR-{THIS DAY.)

Most of the dealers are disposed to buy for a rise, in conse quence of the more satisfactory tenor of the advice' from the Paris Bourse, combined with an expecta tion that a large portion of the dividends, which will be payable on the 14th inst., will be re-invested. Console are without variation, and the movements in British railway and foreign securities are quite unimportant.

DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. H. WADDINGTON.— This morning the death is announced of the Right Hon. Horatio Waddington, who was for many years Under- Seeretary of she Home Department, a poet from which he retired only a few months sines. Mr. Waddington was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his R.A. degree in 1820 when he was 18th wrangler, being the last on the list, and consequently "the golden spoon." He was raved last VIM to the rank of a privy councillor. MR. PERCY WYNDHAM, M.P., ON THE ADMISSION OF WOMEN TO THE FRANCHISE—At the dinner after the Whitehaven Agricultural Show on Thursday, Mr. Percy Wyndham said the chairman had referred, in jocular terms, to the vote be had given upon the admission of women to the franchise. (Laughter.) He bad always avoided giving any defence of that vote ; but he never gave • vote for any idle or fickle reason. An im mense amount of misapprehension existed as to whet the effect of that vote was. Some seemed to think it would entitle every woman to a vote. No doubt they would have given very good ones, but that was not his intention. Assuming, however, that a wo man had property and paid towards the burden of the local rates, he thought she should have a voice. Let them take a case. They had in view at Whitehaven the , election of their local governors, and every single woman or widow in the town who bad property would have a vote. Why should they not vote for members of vtrliarnent ? (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The present law acted with very great injustice. People thought • great deal of poli tics in this country, and many farmers were aware he spoke with truth when be said their wives were as good farmers as themselves. (Laughter.) Now, it frequently happened —he never heard of an instance in this county, but he had heard of them in Sussex—where, when a farmer died, and his wife remained with capital sufficient to carry on the farm and ability to farm it as well as her husband, the landlord came and said, "I em very sorry ; I know you have capital, but unfortunately we wish a vote for this farm ; and, therefore, although you are • very good farmer, you must leave the farm." Everyone would agree that was a hard case ; and it was to amend cases of that description he had given his vote, in order that women with real property—not wives and young ladies—should have votes ; and when the jocularity of the occasion had worn oft it would be found to rest upon a basis of truth and justice. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT GUISIIRO 9 .—A GIRL SHOT.—A very melancholy accident occurred at Guisbro' yesterday. Emma Featherstone ' a servant to Mr. David Chapman, farmer, was shot deadd by John Pratt, • fellow. servant. OAKSTHE COLLIERY.—BARNSLEY, FRIDAY. During the last day or two the mon have been engaged in cleating out the bottom of the pit as far as the stopping and to the boa-hole, where there has been • very biro so cumulation of broken curves, forced from the en gine plane, and other rubbish, .o that the road can be kept clear for going to and fro. When that is done • second wood stopping will be put up • little way down the engine plane-head, beyond the No. 2 shaft, to be followed by • brick one sloes to it, the latter being done with the aid of lamps, after which nothing will probably be done until the scaffolding down the No. 2 shaft is taken out, when one of till two former down-east shafts will be made into an up-east, so that the ventilation arrangements will last for some time, in all probability, and so admit of a search being safely con ducted for the recovery of the bodies, without necessitating the long delay which would occur had the furnace shaft to be opened and the ventilation arranged as it was before the explosion. Until the No. 2 shaft is opened out, it has been arranged for the air to be pumped down by steam power, for which purpose an engine has been put down, whilst there is plenty of atmospheric piping fixed in the shaft for its conveyance. The body of Alfred Hoyland, miner, Barnsley, was found to-day in the box-hole, and was identified by having only one arm. The deceased was • married men. The features and clothing were good. A shilling was found in the pockets. ORDINARY ARAM MID MOIR. Ih. I Pd. I ItaILNATO I (lath * 3.1.

Laterpoot ife,rcary of this day says that • letter received in that town from the Isle of Islay states that as the lugger, were re turning from Ireland • few weeks ago one of them was hailed by • strange vessel, which desired the boatmen to convey two men and see them safe on board the steamer at Port Ellen. Whilst on the lugger, neither of the strangers uttered one word in Eng lieb,yet from their appair.usee the boatmen impacted that they were Fenians. their pretended ignorance of English being simply a " blind." It is not improbable that these two men were landed from the Fenian cruiser which hag hovered about the Irish coast for several weeks. WORKING MEN IN PARLIAMENT.—The Norfolk News states that " the working men of Norwich, or certain of tho foremost of them, have en ' idea' that they, being ten thousand strong, and being, or likely to be, at keit two-thirds of the eleo torsi body for time to come, have, in these altered circumstances, the right and the duty to choose for them selvet at least oar of the members for the city, a man of their own elms possibly. And they are about to organise with this particular view." OPENING or A Nrw AND EXTENSIVE COAX. FIELD. —The Barnsley seam of coal has just been reached to an entirely new district, at • place called Denaby, about eleven miles from Doncaster. The shaft, which is the deepest in Yorkshire, is rather more than 422 yards deep. and the coal, which averages nine feet in thickness, and as of excellent quality, underlies the magnesian limestone. In reaching the coal. a bed of tine cannel, rather mom than a foot thick, as well as other seams, were passed. The work of reaching the Barnsley bed occupied rather more than four years, as a great deal of water had to be encoun tered. It may be stated that, not a great many years since, I persons engaged in mining operations were of opinion that the coal-field terminated where the line of the magnesia& limestone commenced; but geologists contended that the coal existed under the formation, dipping into the east to an extent unexplored. This has been proved to be correct by the opening of the colliery on the estate of the Duke of 'Newcastle, at Worksop, and further verified, as in the present instance. The Denaby Colliery is the property of Meters. Pope and Pearson, is well situated for carriage by 'canal and railway, and will give employment, when opened out, to something like 500 persons.
