Mr. Commissioner Phillips expressed his surprise on look ing at the schedule, sad seined what the debts to 96,00 W. taunt P llarq e replied that it ins the ad story of a gentle man with expectations falling into the hands of mo ne y Ischia ed. and Nun of 49,0001. was put down without con es being the amount for which no rear had been obtein Mr. Commissio' Der Phillips referred to the enormous amount of debt and to the appeerenee of the sciesdol ,e and declared that it was the most lamentable exhibition be bad ever sera in his life. Mr. Beriood remarked that tits first debt in the schedule was ma 1110st:ratios of the system pursued by money lenders. The servo was 2,6001. and 1,6001. wee ditrputed. The learned counsel referred to one item in the balance sleet, which he said would explain the whole cue, sad that was the sum of 30,0001. which the insolvent bad paid in a few years as interest, discount, and bonuses for money. Kr. Commissioner PhlWp we. quite aware from his ex perience in the court of the large sums taken by bill dia. counters. He remembered one of the tribe telling him in court that he was one of the greatest benefactors to mankind, and had the audacity to add that he kept many judges on the bench. (A laugh.) It appeared from the insolvent's examination, :ad state ments of Yr. Elargood that ha (insolvent) was now 32. He became of age in 1848, and was entitled to considerable pro log under his ether's Bergood rid the insolvent had 8,0001. in money under the will, he had 20,0001. of his owe, brides the sums of 4,0001. end 4,80 W. and 2,4001. from rents. His friends had Ist him have after he got into the hands of the money lenders about 10,0001., to keep off arrests. Hs we. snorted two years ago and egged seventeen months in prima, and was then let out as frisk securities, such as warrants of attorney, and when they run out he was ran again into prison. (A laugh.) Of ammo he was aware that (he case showed great folly, and it wee age for which he could not expect the sympathy of the court. The horned Commissioner watt over the 'various debts in the schedule. There were several tobacconists, and the in solvent said it had been uncertain what quantity of cigars he sleeked The Commissioner, suing him smile, told him it was ao laughing matter, and referred to a number of debts aralrected with Oxford tradesmen when he wu at the U Mr Bargood remarked that the debts at Oxford were the beginning of the extrangance, he might say the foundation of all that followed. Mr. Commissioner Phillips fully believed it. From his experience in this court be could well believe that the credit system at Oxford was the foundation of the ruin of young men. The learned Commissioner continued his &nation of the schedule. He found one of a bet of 600/. to a Mr. Tollit, but he could not tell what It was for. In answer to a question whether the insolvent wu Bober when he made the bet, he said it was " doubtful." Mr. Commissioner Phillips, with a good deal of warmth, told the insolvent to g ive an simmer to the question of what the tet was on. Did he think the public or the law was to be trampled on in such a way t Perhaps he was a person that ought not to be allowed to walk alone, and indeed it would seem en from his humanises. _ The insolvent rem/calmed that ft wee a bet of 6004 to one eldMag about some weight cerried at a race. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked Mr. Lewis, the insol vent's attorney, whether the young man wee weak in his intellect P Mr. Lewis, jun., replied in the negative assuring him that no tradesman would bs a !asse t s. the &laic's would pay. Mr. Commissioner is really worth while, Mr. Lewis, to go into debt to have you for an attorney. You are quits a comfort to the creator. (Laughter.) Tha Commissioner went over the bill transactions. The iniolvent had transactions with Joseph Joel, Leon Solomon, Almada Simple, and others. Some took 80, 70, and 80 per amt. Kr. Commiasiona Phillips wondered how men in their senses could have transactions with such persons. Mr. Bargood remarked that they took 801. on a 1001. bill, sad it ansetlinee happened that 404. was charged to renew each things, sad the whole 1001. went. (A laugh.) Mr. Commandeer Phillips declared that the credit system at Oxford was shocking. Deer end over again he had de nounced the system In that court. It was the rule of many young men; and in a ow heard soon after he came to the court a young man said he had had fifty invi tations from tradesmen. His (the Comedienne) had received • number of letters in consequence of that cue, and one clergymen thchred that he had struggled for years and could not pay off his university debts. There were great tempta tions to get into debt at such places, and some course should be adopted to protect the young men from the harpies. For the lib of him he could not see why tutors, preceptors, and clergymen should not have charge of the young men so es not to allow them to get Into debt. He believed that the yyoenunngg men were tempted beyond belief, and here wee en iasfseos of the foundation being laid at Oxford University of a young man getting into debt to nearly 100,0001. wee further described. There were more to bacconists and hotel-keepers to • large amount. The insolvent had kept hunters at Oxford end had worn • red coat, which O 0 doubt the authorities had seen. Mr. flargood mid he thought the youjman was to be pitied. He did not wish to underrate his . Mr. Commissioner Phillips considered he was to be OW, seeing the temptations he had and the means in his way. After some further examination, the learned Commis sioner said he really did not know how to deal with the and he wished It had been before the Chief Com- Mr. BUnood ruggested that the course open to the court was very plain This was a civil tribunal, and the court had to deal between tieoung man and his creditors. Not one creditor bad a p peared. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said it was quits true ; and he was not surprised that thou who took front 60 to 80 per cent. had not appeared. His Honour, in entering hie opinion an the case, said it' would no doubt be referred to u one in which then were debts to 96,0001. and the person was discharged, whilst it might be aid in a small case an insolvent was remanded. Let the public know that this court could not remand unless creditors opposed, and in this owe not a single creditor had appeared. It was • dreadful exhibition of extravarance, commenced at 016xd I:niverrity and carried on till the debts were nearly one hundred thousand pounds, end a ProPeit7 gone which would have kept the possessor in stlu once ell his life. The young man was In some degree an object of sympathy and companion. His fortune gone, and at 32 with an enormous amount of debt. He had never seen each • schedule before, and he hoped he never should ese such a one spin. It was • lamentable exhibition of maim extravageme. In the course of the case the learned Commissioner alluded to his own studies at Dublin College, and the discipline enforced there on students, where he, with others, bad at first very little to begin with, and this young man had in reckless exttsvaganoe squandered away • fortune the fiftieth part of which men who were struggling would have applied to have helped themselves forward. The insolvent was discharged with a caution to avoid getting into debt, and to redeem his conduct. embezzle no lees a sum than 1,0001. At present he (Mr. Lewis) would only go into the particulars In one case, and after pe on it to his worship' se s tisfsction, would re= to a future day, when he should Wing numerous other charged. Mr. Norton, having earatally read over rom th arke e remelt* between the promoutors and tt u Vectter, that the pomanders, in his opinion, haws mese dfilleelty in mho by it that the prisoner was their Meant- Mr. admitted that it would haw neerit bete. ft the terms ware more implicit, but the het wee thet the ekes of persons to which the prisoner belonged would sot permit themselves to be called servants, , they met have doe sound ing names, such u "agents to,' or "sole eonekeyeees or so end so. He contended, however ' that thine was a wide difference between the ems of the prism, sad that of an ordinary " commission agent," hums* me the letter sold tbe goods sent to him to whom he liked, rained en entry of them through his books, end forwuda. the proceeds to his coneignor, short the amount of oommkelea ; whereas the former could not sell the goods of the se the to any per bon to whom they objected, and whale he disport! of good. to his regular cuitomers, he was obliged to peas an entry through their books, make a return monthly of all inch en tries and forward all oath received weekly. On a future day he would be better prepared with the law on the s;lje t c a l and as the cue was one of coniklerable importance, he his worship would allow it to proceed. Mr. Norton admitted the importanos of the case, and said It vas not hie wish to prevent IL being gone on with. Mr. William Prince here got into the witnem-box, and when sworn said be was in partnership with Mesas. John end Arthur Perks, and carried on the business of brewers at Barton-on-Trent, Staffordahire. The prisoner was town sgent to the Arm, awl had beta in their service since the 27th of January, 1t 57. It was his duty, according to the terms of hie agreement, to furnish a monthly return of all the isles he made, with the names of the customers and the amount of each sale, and also to send all monies re ceived by him weekly to the brewery. He (witness) held in , his hand the prisoner's returns for the months of August and September last, and in neither was there any entry of the 141. 12a. paid by Mr. Becott. In reply to a question from the prisoner Mr. Prince ad mitted that the firm held a bond for 4001., but this was a mere guarantee that he (the prisoner) should carry out the terms of agreement, but was not applicable to defalcations. Mr. John Bacon, landlord of the Salisbury Arms, in Dur ham-street, Strand, said he gave °Wen for ale to the pH loner, and on the 31st of August lad paid him 141.12 e. for them. The prisoner at the time owed him (Mr. Bscott) 71. or 81., and on receiving the money handed back the amount be owed.

Witness examined the earl, and found it contained seven atone bottles, holding In the gate about twenty loos of spirits. Witness then= him if he had a permit or certificate for airrying the spirits, and he said he had not. Witness then gave him into cus tody, sad seized the horse and cart, and also the spirits. He had since tried a sample of the spirits, and found them to be 33 per cent. over proof. The amount of duty open these spirits was 101. They were British spirits, made from molasses, and were the result of illicit distillation. Alter the rimer was looked up he sent for witness, and said, " Now, if I tell you where to Sod the still, will you take my wife se • prisoner r Witness told him he would not, and the prisoner then said die was very poor, and asked him if he would give her Se. Wilmss promised to give her the money if he found the information was correct. The prisoner then gave him his address, Purton Willow-vale, near the Adelaide Justice House, Shepherd's bush, and told him that he would find the still in the house. Witness at once proceeded to the place, where he found the prisoner's wife and two or three young children. He also found an extensive private distillery, the whole of which he seised. The still was capable of manufacearing about 100 gallons of spirits weekly. The revenue would be defrauded to the extent of 401. per week. The prisoner threw himself upon the mercy of the court, and said he had been better off, and had been led into this matter by another man, as he could not find employment. Mr. Ingham said if the prisoner had not confessed to when' , the still could be found, he should have imposed the full penalty, u it was a case of wholesale fraa upon the re venue. He, however, sentenced him to pay • flue of 604 or four months' imprisonment. The prisoner was locked up in default. Mr. Ingham requested the reporter to acknowledge the receipt of a cheque for 101. from the Salters' Company, to be applied to the poor fend of the court. THS ANNUAL IBTUBN OF FILM IN LONDON. The following is the substance of Mr. Braidwood's return of the Area that took place: during the year 1837 : "68, Watling-street, January 11. " Gentlemen,—ln accordance with a minute of Dec. 98 last, I beg leave to report as follows :—The fires in 1867, as compared with them which took place in 1858, have increased by 158. On the avenge of the foregoing 24 years the in crease Is 373. The umber of fires in the list of ' totally de stroyed' shows a decrease of tiro as compared with 1866, and in the proportional avenge of the last twenty-four yews • decrease of seven. Of thew thirty-two ' totally destroyed, sixteen were item two to sit miles distant from the nearest station • twelve were used as carpenters' workshops, and other dangerous trades ; one was lost from want of water; the size of one was so excessive that the firemen could not make any Impression upon it ; the remaining two were timber buildings, completely on fire before the snivel of the engines. Whatever I have said in former years In &vow of the conduct of the firemen, I can safely repeat—a better con ducted body of men I would not wish to have under me; and it appears to me that they are gradually improving. One reason of this I believe to be that the committee have fa a great meuure left the procuring of candidates to the surgeon d and supetintendent, who have for some time past ' men-of-war's men ' with very ' good' certificates of character, to other classes, such as merchant seamen, labourers watermen, mechanics, and servants." After r eferring to the beneficial results of the appointment of men-of-wads men as firemen, the Superintendent adds : " The whole of the land engines and apparatus are in ex cellent order. Both steam-flow have been thoroughly ex amined by the engineer under whose inspection they were constructed, and are, according to the report now laid on the table, in excellent condition, with the exception of a slight repair in the lower float. The upper float has been called to 22 fires, and has been six times to work ; the lower Butte nine fires, and has been three times to work. The number of fires from the lot of January to the 31st of December, 1867 has been as follows : Fires at which the premises were totally destroyed, 32 ; ditto, ditto, slightly damaged, 644 ; ditto, ditto, ooneldir ably damaged, 439 ; total fires, 1,115. False alarms of fire, 96 ; chimneys, ditto, 91 : total 187 ; total calls, 1,302.

THE POISONTNO CASE AT SIIORLIIAM.—The jury resumed the inquiry into this ease yesterday at the Burrell Anne, before Hr. F. H. Orli, coroner. Mr. Fuller, surgeon, said he bad no doubt that the deceased died from arsenic. Charles Toms, carpenter deposed that he had known Tho mas Pallor , the deceased, for nearly 40 years. About thou weeks before Christmas ha had been spending the evening with him at hie (Pultiek's) house. On that occasion Puttick stated that he kept the poison on the top shelf of the cupboard downstairs, and asked wh am to put a lock on a small chip box in which he meant to keep the poison, as he said he was afraid of getting into trouble from its being kept when it was. Although he was not afraid, he said, of his wife or son meddling with it, yet, as hie wife was subject to fits, and strangers were in the habit of coming in to assist her, he was afraid of its= into improper hands. Witness shoo went to see the on the afternoon of the Saturday after the poises was token. Witness then asked deceased if it wen tam, as be heard, that the arsenic had been found by Mr. Fuller, the surgeon, in the chest upstairs. Deceased replied that It was true. Witness then said, "But that was not where you told me you generally kept it." Deceased then said, " I shifted ft." Witness asked him why ? Deceased continued, " Well, old mate, you know every one would have blamed me if it had been found in the usual plies." Several other winnows were then examined, but no addi tional light was thrown upon the cdrotunstanore. After the coroner had summed up the jury retired for an hoar. Oa their return they ye the following verdict :—" The jury find that Pattick, Esther Ann Pada, dad Thomas Puttick died from the effects of amenic, which bad been mixed In hard pudding, and which penetrated the cabbage boiled with the pudding which they (the deceased) bad partaken of for dinner, bat how or by what Meal mixed they have no evidence to show.

Kelly moved for a criminal information against Mr. John Henry Orevifie Smyth, for redwing to take upon him self to execute the office of sheriff for the city and ca= Bristol. He and it was more in acoardanos with pr and more expedient, in oonstqamos of the urgency of the case, to apply for a rule for a criminJialormanoo, but the affidavits were equally adapted for a mandamus, if their lordships should think that was a pr zion course of promedng. The point of law upon which their was and in which he had no doubt Mr. Smyth, was every respectable gentleman would novae acquneee--wu whether that gentle taut was liable to be elected sheriff for the city of Bristol, and bound by law to take upon himself that office That ques tion depended upon the ptovisions of the Municipal Reform Act, 6 and 6 W. IV. Before 1836, when that act was paned, the corporation of the city consisted of a mayor, aldermen, and common councilmen, with an indefinite number of freemen. At that time, under several charters and acts of rent, the sheriffs for the city of Bristol were elected the common councillors from among their own body. qualification for the office was the same u they required for a common councillor. The common council was a self-selected body. Whenever a vacancy occurred the common council selected a councillor from among the freemen at Lure, who were several thousand in number. No other qualification was required than that of being a freeman. The first section of the Municipal Cor poration Act abolished all acts of parliament, laws, charters, end letters patent which wore inconantent with its provialoss, and then the filet section, on which the question turned, enacted that the common council of the city and county of Bristol and other cities and boroughs should, on the first of November (afterwards altered to the ninth by act of parlia ment), appoint a St person to execute the duties of sheri ff . Mr. Smyth was the freeholder of a lane 'property si tuated in Bristol, and resided within a mile of the city. Lord Campbell—ln what respect is It alleged Mr. Smyth is to be appointed - sheriff It a LaFtF:r. person is the proprietor of lands within that city and that is the only qualifketion existing by law, brie patiently of particular local qualifications created by acts of parliament and charters. Lord Campbell observed that in the case of a sheriff for a city no territorial qualification was required. Mr F. Kelly apprehended that unless some local set of parliament or charter pointed out a peculiar qualification, the statute of 4th of Edward 111., providing that none should be sheriff except he had sufficient Lade within the place to an swer the king and his people, applied to cities as well as to counties. Lord oempbell said the Kt had never been so applied. It was not that the sheriffs of the city of London should have any tended qualification. Bir F. Kelly said the question cams to this—whether an actual residence was a necessary pafificaUon. Mr. Justice Coleridge believed from personal knowledge that since the Municipal Corporation Act weed the appoint ment of sheriffs had been made just him this one, without ref.rence to residence. Lord Campbell observed that • person living in Cornwall or Nerthumbarland could not be cozwidered • iit person to hold the 412 e of sheriff for Bristol. Bit F. Kelly said it appeared from Ms sib:Writs that during the twenty yearn since the passing of the act non-resident freeholders had constantly been appointed to the offloe of sheriff in Bristol, and he believed also in the majority, if not all, the other cities and counties mentioned in the act. Mr. Justice Wightmen—Who bad property within the borough or city, but were not resident? Mr F. Kelly replied in the affirmative and said the sheriffs of counties were not required to he reddest within the cormty. Lord Campbell—lt ts • very important subject, and you may take • rule. Rule nisi for a criminal information granted, to come on for argument an Wortley next. THE CARD Or 'WILLIAM CODBETT. Mrs. Cobbett applied to the court for • habeas corpus to b ß ri . s&up her husband, who is now • 'miscast to the Queen's end who, she contended, was entitled to his discharge. Lord Campbell—Ou what ground do you move the court ? Mrs. Cobbett—Os the award of fraud. The affidavits in support of the application having been reed by one of the Masters, Lord Campbell said he wra of o pin ion that Mr. Cobbett was lawfully arrested and lawfully detained in custody, and that the oourt had no therefore to interfere.

W hen Mr. Atherton, Q.C., had opened the case, it was found that all the witnesses were absent, end the plaintiff was neatly nonanited.

The Lord Chief Justice mid that a rule nisi would be granted, but it would probatly only be made absolute upon payment of the costs of the day. Rule granted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Zur. 11.

At the examination meeting the elder bankrupt and his son John were allowed to rasa. Henry was adjourned for the production of further accounts from Australia. Thls was the adjourned certificate meeting in the case of Abraham and John Jacobe, and the adjourned examination meeting in the earns of Henry Jacobs. His Honour said he should bars been glad to 'erode to the request of the elder bankrupt for a first class certificate, but he could not do so unless at the risk of violating the provi sions of the act, and establishing a bad precedent. The bankrupts had no reasonable ground for rushing into specu lation to such leogthe as they had done. The books were only tolerably kept. The court came to the conclusion that the failure had partly arisen from unavoidable circumstance', and in saying this, no Imputation was oast on the honesty of Mr. Jacob", sen.

A tall black man, who gave the name of Chnrles Williams, dreamed in a suit of white coarse linen, was charged with begging in the public streets.

He appealed to the Christian public to assist him, and witness saw him take money from two or three persons.

THE CORN TRADE. (From the lark-lane Express.) The sham frost of the first week of the new year has tended to increase the preparation of the ground for an early sowing in spring, se well as serving se a timely check to the young wheat. The latter looks unusually promising, the a of rain and a low temperature at night having generally pr e . vented an undue luxuriance in ita growth. The rows aka are remarkably even, and the gaps few. Thrashing has Wm proceeded more freely, and the markets have been better pro. videi with samples in improved condition. As we an ti c !. wed, there luta been some reaction in favour of growers to the extent of fully la. per or., though a certain slackness in sales finally ensued on the return of damp mild weather. Foreign mar:tete have shown • like improvement. The Danube is frozen, with little prospect of a re-opening tip oring by which the cheapest market in the world is cloeed. As fro s t, too, has appeared in the Baltic, it is probable that the lower ports there are also sealed. The ports in the Asoff are in the lit., condition ; and the shipmate now taking place at (Mama are made from the neceuity of freighting the numerous vessels there, even in the face of almost certain lose. No peat quantity can be ex pected from America for some tame, though the unprece dented mildness of the season has brought an unlooked for accession of supplies. The French markets, instead of shaping their course to the low rates obtaining in this country, have been on the alit, and tending upwards. More over es the monetary pressure daily lessens, stocks are fall ing into firmer hands, and as the deficiency in ppootatoes nearer lta telling time, we look for a moderate enhanamunt in prices. A. comparison of the imports into London in the last quarters of 1866 and 1867 shown a moderate increase of all grain, wheat excepted, which shows • decrease of 82,382 qrs., and on flour, after dedacting 20,020 brls. for the increase of 14,014 sacks, the total decrease is equivalent to 67,764 brim., the falling off in American supplies of wheat being partly made up by early arrivals from the Baltic. The sales noted last week were 86,788 qrs. wheat at 47e. 7d., against 85,768 qrs. in 1866. The London averages were 495. 11d. on 2,963 qrs. The imports into the principal ports of Great Britain for the week ending 30th Dec., in wheat and flour, were 89,133 qrs. FOREIGN GRAIN. (From helrs Weekly ilemeeyer.) Business in all the northern ports of Europe has been rutev pended by the state of the weedier, although the roonetarr pressure may be considered to be over, its effects very visible in the downfall of so many old-e=he houses. Discount at Eambure was the first to move down freely, and now happily Landes bas followed the example, the Bank rate having on Thursday been put down to 8 pee cent., and discount houses affording a more liberal aselttoaa to all their friends. The markets of France have be. g ig= improved during the few cold and frosty days, pea. y for choice flour at Paris, the four marks having ei• Tenant about is. per sack. The French millers are um making liberal offers as to quantity to England, and bedew in this article promisee to increase, particularly in the se condary sorts, if the quality be kept up genuine, and node entirely from wheat. These qualities can now be Aiwa a* Dieppe at 345. 6d. per sack of 2801 b., whilst the four Soda are hold for 38c, and Darbley at prima to compete with our first town-made marks. From the United States we are not likely to get much more until spring. Prices of cereals have declined for all sorts of late, and the sales are now elkoted for home consumption, only limited shipments bring mad. for any pert of Europe, and from Canada business dor the season Is entirely suspended. We have therefore no great expectation from any quarter of the globe, and en opportunity will be thus afforded of working up stacks thoroughly in time to receive spring shipments.
