Mr. Munns appeared foe the plaintiff in this osse,:where • sumo= had been taken out for 4701., due on • bill of exchange. Muss the summons had bees taken out the debtor bad signed a deed of composition ; but the deed bad not been registered, and was eonesgneatly no answer to this demand • notwithstanding this,he understood the defendant meant to rely on it as • &stenos to the action. The Commiteicaer —Re cannot plead to it. If he swears to it as • good defence he swears what is untrue. If he swears that he has a good defeat* to the action it must b e on some other frround. If by a good defence he mains the deed which he intends to perfect, it is no defence at all. Mr. Ditton, who appeared for the debtor, said that the writ in the action had not yet boen served. The deed had been executed by the requisite maj o rity ; th a t a pp eare d by him client's affidavit. The Commiesioner—lt appears to me that it is a very rash affidavit for him to make, because non (*nada that the requisite number of creditors will ever assent. Mr. Ditton—They have assented. scisece The Commissioner—well, it is a matter for his con . Mr. Ditton—lf the plaintiff serves us with a writ I must apply to otter Ile. in the pound, which is much more than the creditors would obtain under bankruptcy. The Commissioner--The defendant must give security. Idr. Ditton—The effect of that will be that we shall have a long contest between the Bankruptcy Court and the creditors under the deed. iii; --- Ccelnsissioner- -7- I , ot in the least. The bond is to pay such sum as you may be called upon to pay in the action brought against you. If the deed is perfect and complete, you can plead it to the action ; therefore no wrong is done. There is no conflict; there can be no difficulty about it. You give security; the action is brought; then, if you have completed your deed, you can plead it. Mr. Ditton—Will your honour aijo urn the summons ? The Commissioner—No. Why should the plaintiff be deprived of hie legal remedy To me it is as plain as a pike-staff. I have explained to you the prin ciple on which I act. It is because the defendant swears that he has a good defeat* that I require him to give se curikrupt.ty. If he did not do so I should adjudicate him ban Mr. Ditton—Then your order will be that my client, within a certain time, shall give security ; otherwise it will be an act of bankruptcy P Mr. Munne—Will your honour say within three days? The Commissioner—Let it be within • week. It is Christmas time. Yon don't want it earlier. POLICE COITETB,-(THIE DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. AN EXTRAVAGANT EANNAID. Fanny Wrandoso, a respectably-dressed young woman, of 18, was charged on remand with stealing two marked shillings, the property of Yr. Andrew Walter, of the Red Lion public -house, Clement's-lane, Sing William street. The prisoner had been in the employment of the prosecutor as barmaid for some mouths, and in conse quence of his receipts falling off, he caused some marked money to be passed over the counter, and some of it was afterwards found in the possession of the prisoner. On her box being searched upwards of 41. in gold and silver were found, together with a quantity of clothing of a vary extravagant nature, including an opera cloak. Mr. St. Aubvn, who conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Association, said the society had no wish to press the charge severely against the priioncr. She had no doubt been led into the commission of the offence by an excessive love of finery. The prisoner had been remanded, and in the meantime her aunt had been communicated with, and she now pro init.6l to take charge of the prisoner, who was therefore discharged. Mr. St. Anbyn applied that the 41. should be given up to the prosecutor, as there was no doubt it was stolen ; but the Lord Mayor said that, owing to a legal difficulty, ho could not do so, the prisoner having been charged with 'Waling only 2s. TIII BYO= 2fl7l2lilcalt. The muter bakC of the Islin.,ston depot for the manufac ture of Dr. Dauglish's patent masted breed was summoned for using ovens and furnaoes not construeted so as to consume their own smoke. It may be stated that when the cue was first before the court the nuisance was ad mitted and an adjournment was panted at the de fendant's request, so that be might make the required alteration, and that Mr. Sanderson, the government engineer, might again inspect and report the result to the court. -- Mr. Sanderson said that on the 29th July last in conse quence of complaints that were made by ths inhabitants of the nuisance occasioned by the make Irma the &feed ant's chimneys, he went to the premises and made ea in spection. He found that the furnaces were not constructed so as to consume their own smoke. At that time fourteen days were requested and granted so that the required alterations might be made. At the a: Oration of that time he found that some alterations bad been made, but they were not successful, and then four weeks ad &Lora.t time wee asked for and granted. As the nuisance still continued the case was brought before Mr. Coate, and then additional time was g i ven th e d e f en d an t to make the necessary altera tions. He had since made another inspection, and found two of the furnaces in the male stets. Scene alterations had been made, but they had not bese stscowniuL The Magistrate asked if there was any difficulty in making bakers' ovens so as to make them IC consume their own smoke. Mr. Sanderson said there was none. He could mention several large and small establishments where the smoke was entirely consumed. There were several socatesful patents at work in the metropolis, and a great saving was effected in the fuel -- The defendant said that he thought that Ave minute. were slowed for the shaft to deal: itself. . . The Magistrate said the defendant was mistaken, and, considering this was a very bad ease, he should inflict the highest penalty for a first offence, viz., 61. and the COAL A MAN SHOT AND EATEN BY 0008.-011 Wed nesday last the neighbourhood of Ightfield, a small village near Whitchurch, was thrown into a very excited state from a report that Mr. R. Whitfield. farmer, of Ightfleld, had been found lying in a ditch on his farm, shot through the head. Mr. Whitfield was in the habit of going out shooting, with his gun and dogs, and on the morning in quietism went out soon after 'daybreak. He returned home to breakfast about 8 o'clock, and after partaking of this again went out with his gun. About twenty minutes or half an hour after deceased going out the second time a shot was heard, which appeared to come from a field near there. About two hours after this a man on the farm saw the dogs in a field, and thinking that they were after the sheep he went to them, when to his horror ho found Mr. \Flat - field lying dead in the ditch. 'The upper portion of his head was blown entirely away. One part of the skull was found bOlllO distance away from the spotin an opposite direction to where it would have been shot, and Where it had no doubt been carried by the dogs, who had actually eaten the flesh and licked the from the head of the un fortunate man. The butt of the gun rested on the oppo site side of the ditch, and the muzzle between deceased's knees, as if it had slipped down from his hands after having exploded. An inquest was held on Thursday, at the Lamb Inn, Ightfleld. The jury, after some delibera tion, returned a verdict of " Found shot, but not sufficient evidence so show whether by accident or design." De ceased was a single man, aged 33. The dogs who made such a revoltingmeal were shot. FORTY-Two COWS BURNED TO DEATlL—Be tween Thursday night and Friday morning a fire broke out at the farm of Auchterbead, parish of Cambusnethsn, owned and occupied by Messrs.

THE SHORT TIME MOVEMENT AT PRESTON.— On Thursday afternoon a meeting of the manufacturers of Preston, was held at the Bull Hotel, the object being to consider what measures should be the present short time movement. adopted regard to the position and the prospects of the cotton trade took place, and eventually a resolution was unani mously pained pledging the manufacturers present to run their mills thirty hours per week during the next two months ; the reasons urged for such course being the same as those given at the meeting held in Manchester on Tuesday. A committee was appointed to make the ne cessary arrangements for carrying out the resolution.

To-days market was quite of a holiday character. The attendance of buyers was very limited, and the amount of business transacted was very small. The fresh supply of English wheat on the stands was very limited, but millers showed no disposition to operate, and, consequently, sales progressed slowly, at the rates of Monday last. In foreign wheat the transactions were few. Prices were without important change. The supply on offer was mo derate. Very little bminess was tran.actell in barley; but the trade was atm, at the late improvement. Malt sold slowly on former term'. Oats were in very moderate supply. Prices were without change, but the trade was slow. Beans and peas were in limited request, at late rates. . . The flour bade was quiet, at the Pricee'of Monday last. The holidays have greatly interfered with the floating grain cargo-trade, and we have an unusually limits 1 business to report in all descriV.ions of prance. Wheat has ruled quiet, and prices of arrived cargoes have been with difficulty supported. For future delivery no busi ness has been reported. We quote Mirka Taganrog off the oast, 455, 6d.: ditto, Odessa, 49.. 6d. to 60% ; ditto, Galati, 525. per 4921b5. ; sprung, new York, 50s. per 4861b5.

The weather in that town was boisterous, and the wind blew in fearful gusts in the streets. Ina new street off Spotland-road a row of houses has just been completed, and two of them are so constructed as to answer the purposes of a Sunday-school. Mr. Beswick, of Manchester, was the contractor. and Mr. Turner, of Yorkshire-Aced, and Mr. Watts, schoolmaster, were the owners, and had opened the school under the the sanction of the Wesleyan body, to ascertain if • new school in that part of the town would answer. If not, the building was so constructed that at any time it could be altered into two houses. Yesterday the place was opened for service for the first time ; and lathe afternoon Mr. John Ashworth, author of "Strange Tales," preached a sermon. There were present about 400 persons. The service began at half-pest two, and shortly after one of the windows was blown out by a gust of wind. Little notice was taken of it, and the service proceeded until five minutes to four, when another violeut blast heaved up the roof, the gable end fell in, and the two side walls fell inwards, after which the roof crashed in upon the whole. A distressing scene of confusion and horror ensued. Some hundreds of the unfortunate persons managed to creep out from under the debris but a large number were buried beneath, and their cries for help were piteous to hear. Those that had escaped and the neighbours heroically pulled away the fallen timber and bricks, and gradually released the unfortunate persons. The tire brigade, and Captain Davies, with the police force, soon appeared at the scale and exerted themselves in removing the fallen building and liberating the injured persons. Miss Nuttall, Mary s gate, milliner, for half en hour was imprisoned by a large bcam on her feet, and she displayed great fortitude and patience until released. From the time the catastrophe happened to the time when all wen takes out, about an hour and • half elapsed. Ao fir as could be ascertained at the time, noperson was killed, but the following persons were seriou sly injured : Miss Jane Cooper, Hudson-street, off Spotland-road, fr , tured forearm.

An extraordinary general meeting of the Pale* and Burlington Hotels Company (United) is oon vened for the 12th January, when a dividend is to be declared. The directors of the Russian (Vyksonnsky) Iron Works Company (Limited) have issued their re port, in anticipation of the annual meeting• celled for the 90th December. The following is en. extract: Allusion was made in the last report of the directors to certain litigations affecting the company in Russia. During the present year other claims against the company have aunined a serious form. They arise, as the directors un derstand, from contracts made by those manning and in possession of the property before the conveyance to the company, and which it is - contended are still a charge on the estate; these claims involve sums of a large amount. The company has a covenant to indemnify it against sneh claims from the former proprietors (Mesas. Shepelcdh), but it is believed that these gentlemen would not be able to meet them, and, at all events, if the claims are substan tiated, the company will be primarily liable. An inferior court has decided against the company in one instance, but this has been appealed against, and it is hoped that the suit ma be either gained before a superior tribunal or ea • y arranged. The matter, however, assumed so important an aspect that thu board deputed Messrs. Lambert and Clarke to proceed to Russia early in August last, giving Mr. Lambert full powers to set for the company. These gentlemen have been indefatigable in working for the company's interest, and are still in nego tiation with the ministers of the imperial government. They are expected shortly to return, and, as the subject is still before the courts, it is not prudent at present to go more into detail. The blast furnace at Houle bake and the Rail Mill at Vuicksa have dean completed. The shareholders will observe with satisfaction that the debts owing by the company in England have been eon siderably diminished during the past year. In consequence of the financial position of the company, the directora determined not to pay the interest on the sherell, wNoh they had hoped to diststrrbute in Jn4 lea. It is proposed, with the cortmarre of Vio mullion, to 9propriate the severe. amounts of Itadl. its. 71, and 24,300/., standing to the credit of " Profit and Loss Account," and "Shares forfeited respectively," and which appropriation isdescribed in the report of the auditors. On its adoption by the share holders such appropriation will be forthwith made. The directors have found it necessary to remove Mr. Barry from his position as chief manager of the works at Vuicksa. In connection with the affairs of this company, Mr. Herbert Barry is circulating a long •indica tory statement. A call of 10e. is to be paid on the shares of the London and Lisbon Corkwood Company (Limited) by the 19th January. The eighth and final call of 2/. is to be paid on the 18/. inconvertible S per cent. preference shares of the Midland Railway Company by the 15th Januar7. Creditors of the Saint Nazaire Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to Mr. John Young, the liquidator. by the 21st January, and those of the English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company (Limited) to the same gentleman by the Ist February. Creditors of the Beaujolais Wine Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to the voluntary liquidators by the Ist February, the 15th February having been ap pointed for adjudicating upon them. Vice-Chancellor Matins has appointed Mr. Samuel L. Price to be provisional liquidator of tho London Maritime Assurance Association. A half-year's dividend, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, is advertised as payable on the shares of the South Australian Company on the 15th January. A memorandum, received through Messrs. Bates, Bendy, and Co., intimates that— In January a new London weekly newspaper will be published, under the title of The Asiatic. It will seek to promote the development of our Eastern possessions, and also afford to Anglo-Indians and others en nity to discuss matters of public interest rel=g rt Ze those countries. The following is from the Levant Herat/ of th 16th instant : Great excitement and uneasiness have again disturbed our local money market during the week, with oorrespond ing ductuetivir e te price of emisral debt. Though there Lae been bat little expectation that the answer of the Greek go t to the Porte's demands would be in the 've, meculative tacticians have kept the market in 5 ociastaot state of oecillatioa with contradictory private telegrams, and as conflicting canards from the Porte.

Full care ham been taken to avoid collision with the &man of the Imperial Ottoman Bank, and with that view even the title of •• Banque Nationale," which the promoters mule a cardinal point, has been refused. It may be doubted, therefore, whether the new institution—thus reduced in poin t of privilege toe level with some half dozen private en commaridite establishments already in the field—will be very enthusiastically received in Pans. Here in Galata, it will simply add another good signature to the market, for the Bank and the Sociiti to trust to in their purchase' of local paper. MINIM-(PSlli DAY.) ONE O'CLOCIE.
