Since Liverpool he had been two or three weeks in Lewes • 4argood contended chat the bankrupt had been of rash and hazardous speculation and had coo :7,1o] debt' without probable mom of payment. The age liabilities of 20,0001. had been contracted mainly calm the last four or five years; creditors to the amount 11:011i. were wholly without security, and their mum. xr wa no lase than 165, embracing tradesmen of all classes, of them for small amounts.

It was melee choir to see a clergyman so far losing sight of the duties of ks;catioe as to incur this avalanche of debt. The Commissioser —lt is indeed a melancholy case. One rcor eell pray—" Lead us not into temptation." Mr. oarrood rid that had the bankrupt confined himself the discharge of his ordinary duties, instead of being before the court sow, be might have been a prosperous man. He admitted that he had entered on this career of speculation. Finding that his first restore was unsuccessful, be ought to have abstained from any others; but harlot launched himself into the v; rtes of speculation, be seemed to have lost his head. The Commissioner —" Demented" seems the proper wrd ;oapply to such conduct. _ . Mr. Saitioiid mid he was ultimately obliged to quit 1. emo,)l, and hide himself. One most lamentable case v., of the drill and fencing master, Henley, who, I.r.t. a little property of his own, had been -I to raise money on it by mortgage and to the bankrupt, on the temptation of 0. a high rate of interest. The bankrupt ' , mined in this way from Henley between 1,1001. sod offering first 7 then 10. and then 124 per cent. .:-.-,•••• • clergyman. instead of praying to be kept out of ;:n.ptation himself, actually leading others into it. What vet pain the court might feel in dealing with the cam of • tromp who bad so miscooducted himself, it would not to mark its sense of such • course of proceeding. Mr. Eagles said the bankrupt might at least congratulate xtrlf on his case being now brought to an end. He had ..-en in the court fifteen months, and there bad been four. :-ra adjournments from one cause or another.

TheCommissioner—Then be ought not to engage in them.

The nee be bad pursued was justified by the increase of his In like manner the purchase of the advoweon of .mity Church had been • enocessful speenlatioa ; but sub fluent Punta bad indeed him to get rid of it.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 4, 18114: THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY SCHEMES AND THE BUSINESS OP THE OITY.-(THIS DAY.) This afternoon at 1 o'clock, a meeting of some of the leading merchants of the Olty was held at the Loodou Tavern, haring been °Pursued by circular, to con sider in what manner the metropolis may be best protected against the disturbanoe to Imbues threatened by railway schemes now before parliament. The CHAIIIMLN (Kr. R. W. Crawford, M.P.), its opening the proceedings referred to what had been done recently in parliament with Waren°, to roetropolinn railway schemes, and more particularly to the report of the joint committee of the two house. He was not satisfied, he said, with that report ; but he could not blame the com mittee, whose inquiry was of • very limited character, being confined to the question what bills should and what should not be proceeded with. The whole question was far more interesting to the City than to the suburbs, and it was im portant for the meeting to consider what was likely to be the effect of the threatened railways on the trade and com merce of the centre of the metropolis. There was, in his opi. Moo, no necessity for improving the railway amen to the City, while the multiplication of lines and stations would greatly interfere with the course of business. The chairman of the North London Railway said that that company had purchased 800 houses. What was that but interferon' with the business and Interest' of 800 families ! What was now being done at the Metropolitan Railway Extension strikingly showed how terrible such an sell was. The projected railway by way of Blackfriare, Cannon and the Tower was fraught with mischief, and he ;L I Z to find the attention of the corporation of London was being closely directed to that subject. He should be glad to see the whole of the schemes postponed—eepecially as they were in reality in the hands of those who might be termed speonlators—(Cheers)—and no great lon to any one could arise from their withdrawal. Mr. S. MOUSY proposed the fallowing resolution : "That in the opinion of this meeting, the limited area of the City of London, the seat of an immense and rapidly expand* trade, should be protected against the intrusion of any railway which is not absolutely requisite for the coo venience of the public ; it insiste on the right of the public to be beard in such matters, and protests against the doc trine that only parties whose property is to be taken by the railway companies should have a voice on the sub ject." He expressed his strong conviction that even in the mitigated form in which the metropolitan schemes would now come before parliament th involved an immense amount of on outlay, an d • most inconvenient oc cupation of space. ( sera) H. added that he hoped • good committee would be formed to protect the public in tweets. --- lir: — WALcrs seconded the resolution, which was sup ported by Mr. Deputy Lott, who remarked that on the pre vious day a committee of the corporation was appointed to give its atteetion to the subject. The various railway schemes affected, he added, no lees than 164 streets. The resolution was adopted, and was followed by other in furtherance of the object of the meeting. THE. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) This afternoon at the ordinary half-yearly meet iog of the above company, held at the London Tavern, Sir J. CARMICHAEL in the chair, the report, recommending a dividend at the rate of four per cent. per annum, payable on and after the 12th instant, was agreed to. The Right Hon. Stuart Wortley and Mr. H. Moor, M.P., WWII elected directors, and a resolution agreed to increasing the remuneration of the directors from 500/. to 1,000/. a year. -- THREATENED OPPOSITION TO MR. COBDEN. For some months past rumours have been in the wind of the inteetioe of the comet-retire party of Rochdale to oppose Mr. Cobden's return for the borough of Rochdale at the next election, when it does take place. The main ground for this opposition appears to be on as • of Mr. Cobden's sympathy with the 00-operative movement. Several names have been mentioned as suit able candidates in the tory interest, particularly the name of Mr. J. R. Hutchinson, of Blackburn, but presiding at an annual meeting of ► co-operative store at &plate, Mr. Hutchinson so noequivocally expressed his admiration of the principles of cooperation, that he has given greet dis satisfaction to his supporters. Accordingly, • private meeting of the coeservatives wee convened by Mr. J. S. Entwistle, and held last night at the warehouse of Mears. Stott, YiUing, sod Co., Cheetham.stivet, "to take into consideration," in the words of Mr. Entwistle's circular, "the propriety of contesting the borough at the next election." Mr. J. S. Entwistle occupied the chair. There were preempt sheet 300 penow. Amongst these were Messrs. J. Butterworth, J. Y. ; J. Holt, J.P. ; J. Pilling, Joseph Brierley, Joe. Brierley, John Brierley, Hanley, S.*.c. A schoolmaster, named Pickles, in his address intimated that Mr. Cobden had given offence to the shopkeepers by eayiug what he had in favour of oo operatioe. He cosicluded by proposing • resolution, to the effect th►t • committee be formed to ascertain the real strength of the conservatives in the borough of Rochdale. Mr. J. Holt thought that they ought not to be too ✓avine, and advised them to coesider the matter well before they took any step. Several other speakers followed in the um* strain, but the resoltitios was carried. iL&U.WATS. 100 all Atlantic& St. Lawrence Bt. 100 licon.Der..t C.10.i.6p.e 10 11 . Do. Yew ID 7,4 Do.

At the Bank discount office the demand yesterday was again very brisk. The general market was likewise active, and few transactions occurred below 6 per cent. In the Stock Exchange there is lat present little demand : the rate for loans on go vernment securities from day to day is 4 to 5 per cent The Mexican dollars by the steamer Shannon were sold yesterday for shipment to China at ss. 44d. per ounce. The latest advioes from Mexico announce that a CORGII&Cid was about to leave that city with upwards of 300,0001. in specie, which in all probability would arrive at Vera Cruz in time for shipment by the French mail steamer, due at Nazaire in the middle of the present month. The committee of the Stock Exchange have commenced the investigation into the case of the Australian and Eastern Navigation Com pany, upon the application of that company for a settlement. The whole of the directors have been in attendance, and the matter altogether has occa sioned great excitement. It is understood that thus far the committee have been chiefly occupied with hearing the evidence adduced by the oppo nents of the settlement, whose efforts have been principally directed to prove that many of the al lotments were made subject to the condition that the allottees should not sell until after the lapse of a certain period, and it is said that the testimony on this point is of a weighty character. There is an impression that the oommittee's decision will not be arrived at before Monday. The Midland Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,414!. over last year • the North Eastern an increase of 3,273/. ; the Lanca shire and Yorkshire an increase of 3,7501. ; and the London and South Welters a decrease of 9421. . _ _ A special general meeting of the Interoolonial Royal Mail Steam Packet Company took place yesterday, when it was resolved to alter the title of the oompan7 to that of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company, and also to alter the articles of association, so M to bring them into harmony with recent legislation. The power granted to the directors of raising the 375,000/. ad ditional capital, so as to enable them to carry out the new postal contract,lwas confirmed, as was also the election of three new directors. . . _ The number of shares applied for in the Im perial Financial Company is about 150,000, while the first issue consists of only 20,000 shares. It is notified that the directors will "make the allot ment with as much expedition as the numerous applications will permit." The annual meeting of the North British Austra lasia° Company is called for the 22nd inst., when a dividend is to be declared. It will also be pro posed to convert the shares into stock. A second special meeting of the British Land Company (Limited) is called for the 18th inst., to confirm the resolution authorising the directors to issue 10,000 additional shares. The annual meeting of the Van Dienten's Land Company is called for the 17th inst. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, March 2, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Gurtilation issue Circulation active._ ... Public depends 7,893833 Decrease 239,968 Other deposits Government securities in banking department 11,174,584 No change Other securit les in banking department Coin and bullion in both departments Been day and other bills 567.474 Increase 24,518 The Ron 3.778,873 Increase 242,779 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes k coin in banking &penmen%) . 8,440,822 Decrease 353,675 The reserve has experienced • decrease of 353,6754 . , owing to the heavy increase of 1,475,6094 in the private securities ; a change which shows bow active has been the demand for money at the Bank at the reduced rate lately fixed. The addition of as much as 1,114,6054 to the private deposits, how ever, while it explains the smallness of the decrease in the reserve, also indicates that the demand was in great measure of a precautionary rather than a necessitous character. Preparations for the bills maturing to-morrow (the 4th) may have had some effect. The coin and bullion again present a satis factory increase, and the total is now upwards of fourteen millions.

MA RH-LANK—(IRIS DAY. ) The quantity at English wheat rewired fresh up this morning, both from Emu and Kent, was very moderate, and the show of samples wu limited. Both red and white qualities changed hands slowly, yet, oompared with Mon day, no change took place in the quotations. The plural quality of the supply was rather inferior, owing to the damp state of the weather. With foreign wheat we were tolerably well, but not to lay heavily supplied. Uood dry samples moved off slowly at about stationary prices. Inferior kinds were almost nominal in value. Floating cargoes of grain were quite as dear as on Monday, and the inquiry for them ruled steady. Malting barley was quite es dear as last week. In grind ing and distilling sorts very little was doing at late rates. Malt war in full average supply, and fair request, on former terms. Prime oats were tolerably fair in price ; bat other kinds were a heavy inquiry, at previous curreueen. In beans very little was passing, at the late decline la value. The male for per was heavy ; but no change took place in the quotation.. Flour realised ;envious rates, with a moderate is !miry. The seed trade was is a sluggish state, on former terms. In cakes, very little vraa doing. CUBR 6NT PRICE& Ewan. Per yr. WIMILT. IL I. ere; Kent, red,liin 88 to 42 . De. white, 180 42 to 68 No . ll ott sod tiocola rod. WO 3B 10 42 BLUM Pie Qr. 06211. a. S.
