Of those liabili ties, about 60,0001. arise on bill tralseaction.s between the bankrupts and Mr. Chappell, of Covsesti7 oslso bank rupt). The assets in good debts and property are stated at 7,1321. ; property held as security, 13,4004; do., held by holders of balls discounted, 10,536/. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. Mr. Dubois and Mr. Leach, of Derby, appeared for the assignees, and asked for another adjournment. The so counts were voluminous, and showed that the bankrupts' transactions had been prin4lli with Mr. Chappell, who was bankrupt in the Birm' court, but the proceedings bad been transferred to the on court, by order made on the 27th ult. During eight months of last year the transactions between the two firms had exceeded 400,0001., of which not above 6,0001. or 7,0001. was in re spect of goods. The assignees in both caws were the same ; and though one of them had devoted his whole time to the examination of the accounts, he could nut unravel the nature of the transactions between the bankrupts and Chappell. They had discounted each other's bills, and the result had been to involve Lloyd's Banking Company of Birming ham ; Masers. Carr and Co., of Leek ; Messrs. Eaton, silk merchants, and other creditors in very serious loss. Mr. Lawrauce, for the bankrupt Peters, asked that the case should be dealt with in the ordinary way. Though the application to remove Chappell's proceedings had been delayed by the assignees until quite recently, that was no reason why the present bankrupts should be thrown over the long vacation. Their accounts had been filed in March ; requisitions had been snarls and answered by the bankrupts on the lUth of June. All the information had been given that the es required. The transactions with Chap pell were o cashtransactions—thebankrupts having discounted their bills. The reverses in the Co ventry trade had led to the failure of Chappell and many other traders in that district Up to that time the bankrupts bad always bad money in hand to meet Mr. Chappell's bills. The accountants by the court had reported, so far back as A la st, on the general accuracy of the accounts. Chap s accounts had also been Sled since March last, and the assignees bad bad abundant opportunity for comparing the two sets of accounts, and thoroughly investigating both. Mr. Treherne, on behalf of the bankrupt Warburton, also opposed any further delay. His Honour did not think there was any ground for adjourning the last examination of the bankrupts. The last sitting was on the 30th of April, upwards of two mouths ago; prior to that special accounts had been filed of their dealings with Chappell, extending over 24 sheets of paper ; and it was too late now for the assignees to say that they wanted further time to examine the ac counts. The bankrupts would pass ; but they must stand or fall by the accounts they were now swearing to. Mr. Lawrence staked that the applicants should have their orders of discharge ; but this being strongly opposed on behalf of the assignees, the sitting for discharge was adjourned. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Lord Chief Justice Born!.} LORD BIIILITESBITNT AND an erpnraaa. Robert Short Waters surrendered to his recognisances to take his trial on several indictments which charged him with umbel:ling various sums of money while acting as steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury. Mr. Bardinge Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Greene appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. F. H. Lewis for de fendant. Mr. Giffard stated that he did not intend to offer any evidence in this case, which involved the disentanglement of many intricate accounts. He might state that the case bad been postponed on many occasion., invariably at the ruined of the defendant, and proceedings had been insti tuted both in the Chancery and Bankruptcy Courta. He also added that Lord Portman had called on the prosecutor on the part of the prisoner, and represented that ha was in very . bed health and an utterly ruined man, and inasmuch as the account. involved matters of dispute, the prosecutor felt justified in with drawing from the case. At the same time he (Mr . Gif ford) was bound to state that there was nothing in the nature of a compromise of a criminal offence. Mr. F. H. Lewis said he appeared for Mr. Waters, and begged to say that he was entirely innocent of the charge of embes.lement ; and if the case had been gone into, he would have been prepared to meet it. He held in his hand a paper containing the terms of an arrangement be tween the prosecutor and the prisoner. Yr. Giffard said he objected to such a statement There was no arrangement .. 11;. 1 Lnriii 'askedthe learned counsel to look at the /4 12. Hr. Oiliard having done so, said the paper was exactly as he had stated. Lord Shaftesbury received no conside ration for withdrawing from the case. The paper was then handed to his lordship, and it was afterwards read by the clerk of the court. It was signed by Lord Portman in behalf of the p ris oner, and by Mr. Stephens, (.C., in behalf of Lord Shaftesbury, and stated that Lord Portman, having submitted to Lord Shaftes bury that Mr. Waters was in bad health, and was entirely in want of funds, had solicited the noble earl not to pro secute him, and that Lord Shaftesbury had agreed thereto. It also stated that all legal proceed ings on either side should terminate, and that there should be an end of all transactions between them. The Lord Chief Justice said there was no application made to him, but an intimation was made that no evi dimes was to be offered, and the grounds for so acting were stated in the paper which had been read, from which it appeared that there had been proceedings in Chancery for - the investigation of certain accounts - between Lord Shaftesbury and the defendant, and it also a Roared that the accounts were of a very intricate character. In these circumstances it was very difficult for the 'ourt to pronounce an opinion as to the right course to pursue, and without knowing much more of the case than be did, it wan impossible for him to do so. He must ac cept the statement that had been agreed upon, and which wee signed by gentlemen in a high position, who had, no doubt, made themselves acquainted with all the facts. His duty was not to pronounce an opinion one way or another, and he had not the means of doing so. Under these circumstance* he could not say whether the prosecution was right or wrong; he would net say, so far as the papers appeared to him, that Lord Shaftesbury ought to pursue the prosecu tion with reference to the accounts. So far as he (the learned judge) knew, the defendant might be guilty or innocent, but the prosecution must take their own course. Mr. Oiffard then informed the jury that no evident* was offered, and a verdict of Not Guilty having been re turned, the defendant was discharged. TUX OUTRAGE EN TUX CITY. 1• ' • . 4 I OHILD/ULL.

After a time • horse fell down, which caused a crowd to assemble, and the three men then became very busy. krthridge put his band into the dress pockets of four different women while Leonard covered him, and the other man placed hinssolf outside the crowd to receive anything the other might succeed in getting.

Enoch Emery, 243, took Arthridge into custody, and on doing so saw the purse of the prosecutrix drop from his hand, and picked it up. Mrs. Coots, Lower York-street, Rotherhithe, identified the purse as hers; she did not miss it until Emery spoke to her, and then she SIM it lying on the ground. Alderman Causton remanded the prisoners for in quirks. MARLBOROUGH STREET. • COURAGEOUS BOY. dwn Fey, a married woman, living at Turk's-row, Chelsea, was charged before Kr.

The husband said he had been laid up for some time, but hoped to get work soon. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he coneidored it best to send the prisoner for • week where she would be kindly taken care of, and where she would have the advice of the chaplain, and if necessary the attention of the doctor. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the boy a small sum from the poor-box.

The prisoner was drunk, and as he drove along k ed down a man who was crossing the road. He (the inspector) called upon the prisoner to stop, but he passed on unheeding, and witness was obliged to run after and stop the horse. The man who was knocked down was subsequently removed to the hospital, after being seen by a surgeon, who said he believed the leg was broken. The man was unable to attend this morning. Mr. Newton thereupon remanded the prisoner for a week. MR. BRIGHT'S ARRIVAL IN IRELAND. (*Nom OUR owN oowszeNowDENN.) CORK, WZDSESDAN.

SHREWSBURY, WEDNESDAY MORNING. At 10 o'clock last night a serious collision took place near Went, • ballast train having run into a luggage train, thereby causing considerable destruction of property. One man was hurt. The traffic was so far in terrupted that the passengers by subsequent trains had to leave them at the point where the collision took place, and walk • distance of a quarter of a mile, when the journey was continued in other trains. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THR WINDSOR VOLUN DUX k VLBW.-A BANDSMAN KILLED. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This forenoon Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, held an inquest at the St. John's Mission-house, Ciliates -street, St. George's-in-the-East, touching the death of Edward Medved!, aged 17 years. It appears that at the review the horse of Major Wil liams, of the 48th Middlesex Volunteers, took fright, and dashed amongst the bandsmen. Its rider was thrown and the deceased was kicked by the horse, but ha did not at the time appear to be seriously injured. However, ha became worse, and died on Saturday from peritonitis, caused by the blow he had sustained. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence. Arthur Forrester Smith, 14, and Hector Augustus Smith, 12, two brothers, were charged with feloniously assaulting Mary Anne Nunn, with intent to maim and disable her, and to do her some grievous bodily harm. They were also charged with committing the same act with the intent to prevent their lawful apprehension. Mr. Poland and Mr. Begley prosecuted, and the prisoners were defended by Mr. Collins. The circumstances of this extraordinary case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers. The unfortanate prosecutrix was an aged woman, who was engaged as housekeeper at No. 2, Catherine-court, Seething-lane, in the City of London, and the prisoners were related to her by marriage, and frequently visited her, and consequently were well aware of the nature of the arrangements of the premises. The offence was committed on the eve a of the Ist of May, and on that day it ap that the prisoners had secreted themselves in the coal cellar, no doubt for the purpose of com mitting a robbery on the premises, and in the afternoon, the prosecutrix having gone out, they proceeded to carry their object into execution. It appeared that they went to the bedroom of the proesentrix on the third floor, and wrenched open a box, /rpm which they stole a sum of 21. Before they had completed the robbery the prosecutrix returned, and the prisoners then made an attack upon her, the struggle taking place on the first-floor landing. The elder one held the old woman and directed the younger one to go upsta irs for a wooden mallet with which they bad wrenched open the box. With this instrument the prisoners struck Mrs. Nunn a number of violent blows and literally battered iu her head and face. Eventually they left her in an unconscious state, and made their escape by means of an sir shaft at the back of the house. Mrs. Nunn was afterwards found by her son-in-law and conveyed to Guy's Ifeepital, where for some time it was feared that she would not survive the dreadful injuries that had been in flicted upon her. Ou the following Sunday the prisoners were apprehended in a co ff ee-shop in the Strand, where they had been living for about three weeks. 'Their father was a custom-house officer, residing at Old Ford, and it appeared that thee had absennderl from home after stealing a stun of 41. When taken into custody a pistol, a quantity of powder, and Mime foils were found in their room, and another pistol was also found in the house in Catherine-cote, which also belonged to them. Mrs. Nunn now appeared in court, and was called as the first witness for ILe prosecution. She was quite able to walk, but had several large patches on her head. She proceeded to detail the circumstances under which the attack was made upon her, but before she had completed her evidence Mr. Collins said he could not resist a verdict on the TUE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPIUNIE But,—Thc 1 2rInf."1 of the Wow has been felt this sr.' _mow at all meetings, whether grim. or mina , it would be impossible to realise a greater failure than the venture at Radcliffe, where two days' sport had to be sus tained by eight horses, and if the rain does not ooM6 before the serious " clashing" ooramances, other more pre tentious affairs will fare badly. Carlisle may be called quite up to its usual form, and the first day of .Newmarket July was not so slow as had been feared, p ot interest being taken in the juvenile contest* of ich there were no tower than five durkee t h e e n", non, in addition to an all-aged scurry. Badd worth we, s ufficiently himself to easily Ore the weight awayin ti ts ftladiateur Stakes, and bad the course been a bit longer Leidy Dewhurst would have made short work of her Achiever:seat victress, Bagpipes, who is not half a good oae, or Niiiisr to Veda would not have beaten her subsequently, nor niu.,t too much praise be lavished on the hero of the dry, Ate July Stakes winner, Ural worth, when Abstineace could get within a nook of him, and De Vera within three lengths, allowing he ought to have won easily. It is true The Orphan was behind also; bat the very fact of De Vere beating her shows this must be all wrong, and she has had too much of it on the hard ground, no doubt, like Belladrum, whose Derby bookers bad better "get oat " at once, if all I hear be true. Even the form is not good enough to stand him on, sad had a dark one, with any pretemaons to come into the firstdoss, opposed Ryshworth in the July, he must have been beaten. There wore three stranger. in the field, Carina, a Miss Sarah colt, and Drummer, the latter's friends thinking they had a "goad thing," as he was considered better than The Saladin we saw " split " Badsworth and Chanoineese (Hermit's sister) at Bath ; but they all ran badly, and will have to find inferior company before they tan get bracketted as winners. The Chesterfield has not been in the least spoiled by prior results, for Abstinence is penalised 71b, like De Vere and Bagpipes ; and it must be doubted if she can give quite the weight to Chanoineese, or the Middleton Maid colt that holds out such great promise, only the severity of the finish preventing my plumping unreservedly for Mr. Chaplin's filly. She is also in the Pocket sweepstakes, but may leave that to the Orphan, though this filly can possess no chance now against the colours of the Duke of Newcastle, who liar Abstinence in again, in addition to Tenedoe. The Summer Handicap has some of the best speed of the day in, and yet the feathered Dulcet appears as good to stand as anything, the most awkward of her opponent; perhaps, being what ever may represent Lord Glasgow. Of the matches I can only observe that Chanoineese must beat Director ; and the only other event completed as yet is the Audley Square Sweepstakes, which should be won by Meteor or Pirate King. One good effect of the failure at Radcliffe is that the new Sutton-perk meeting, held on Thursday and Friday, cannot be considered at all influenced by the running, the " Brume being promised two fair days' sport by the programme. They must not, however, be too eager to make their investments, as most of the good things on paper might be kept in the ',table, and after the scratching Deceit and Ottoman have undergone lately I dare not make a selection for the principal handi cap. Hungerford (Friday and Saturday) must also be left to the poet-bettors to deal with.—l am, &c., Wednesday morning. METEOR. MT MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) MIDSUMMER STAKES.

The Queen will travel incognito, and will remain in the strictest privacy during her Majesty's abeence from England." According to the Owl, the Under Secretaryship at the Home Office is soon likely to beoome vacant, Sir James Ferguseon accepting the poet of Governor of Tasmania or South Australia. MIL W. E. GLADSTONE AND THE REPRESINTA now or Soma-wan I..msasm.rraz.7—M?twithi.itai.iding Gladstone' s resent public declaration that he had no reason to anticipate any termination of his connection with South Lancashire, the liberal party in Greenwich is car rying out its resolve to elect the right honourable gentle man for that borough tree of coat to himself. In order to prevent any misapprehension on the point arising in South Lancashire, we may remind Mr. Glad stone's present constituents that he can hardly interfere with the proceedings at Greenwich, especially when the sole object of the electors of that borough is to give expres sion to their admiration of his personal character and public services. Naturally, Mr. Gladstone would prefer to represeut a constituency to which he is allied by kindred ties, and with whose large and important interests he has made himself thoroughly acquainted ; and the electors of this division of South Lancashire may rest assured that the right honourable gentleman will not be induced, even by such a flattering peoposal as that made by Greenwich, to offer his services elsewhere so long as they are acceptable to his present constituents. The duty of the electors of South-wed Lancashire is, therefore, clear and imperative. Mr. Gladstone solicits a renewal of their confidence, and it is their duty to return him, wholly regardless of what takes place either at Greenwich or an here else.—Lirerpool Mereary. EXTRAORDINARY BURGLARY IX CARLISLE. — Early yesterday morning, as Police-constable Burnett was on duty in Fisher-street, Carlisle, he tried the door of the Co-operative Building Society's office by pushing against it, and very much to his surprise it yielded to the pressure. Immediately a severe blow was struck at him through the glass panel of the inner door, knocking him down. As he fUllp a man, whom the officer recognised as the well-known James Randleson, and a woman with a child in her arms, rushed out of the office. Bandleson, being more fleet of foot, got off then; but Burnett secured the woman before she got away a hunched yards, and she proved to be ltandleson'a wife. It was found that the thieves were on the point of breaking the safe when they were alarmed ; it had been pulled forward, a lamp and a hummer lay near it, the other implements of the craft were no doubt taken away by the man. The police proceeded to Itanilleson's house, and in it secret rece , v, snugly concealed, they discovered a perfect set of burglar's tools, viz., eight skeleton keys, nine flies and a chisel, a snap key, a brace and bit, au elaborate apparatus for breaking safes, six pick-locks, and other articles of " the trade." The police, satisfied that Iturallesou was the operator in mod of the burglaries which have disturbed Carlisle of late, have watched him almost day and night these two years past. Ile has been twice convicted of burglary. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.) Scarcely any home-grown wheat was received fresh up this morning. Nevertheless the trade was very dull, sod prices were quite la. to 2e. per qr. lower than last week. Full average supplies of wheat were on the stands. Ia N 1 descriptMna sales progressed slowly, at prioss fully la. to 2a. per qr. below those of last week. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, on former terms. Moderate supplies of barley were on the stands, chiefly foreign produce. The trade was heavy and prioos ruled in favour of purchasers. Malt was in limited request at late rates. A moderate business was passing in oats, the supply of which was good at previous quotations. The transactions in beans and peas were unimportant, at late currencies. The Sour ''''' was inactive, at about st►tionary prices. Linseed met a fair sale, but rapeseed and most agricul. tural seeds were neglected. Cakes were rm in price.
