COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Bacon.) The bankrupt, described as an auctioneer, of City-road, and a coffee-house keeper, of Tooley-street, applied for his release from custody. Mr. Reed supportediLaiplication. A gentleman who op took objection that bankrupt was wrongly describ e . In reality he had not been a coffee-house keeper at all. The Commissioner— What dose that matter now ? If you can show no stronger ground than that, he is entitled to his release. Order accordingly. IN 11.3 I)ANTIL FIIILLES. This was another applicatien for release. The bank rupt was a general merchant, formerly of Old Broad street, and other places. His debts are 2,7611. ; alleged cause of failure, losses in business. Mr. Woollett opposed for the detaining creditor, Mr. H. H. Rrornischroeder, a gas engineer. This was another case of mis-deecription, but stronger than the former — the bankrupt having traded as Jackson and Co,. and as Buxton and Co., and had also represented himself as Mr. Wm. Buxton. In the latter name he bed been introduced to the detaining creditor, who had sold hire goods to the amount of 4221. for shipment. The invoices were made out to Buxton and Co., and the goods were delivered at 26, Artillery-place. The bankrupt signed for them as Buxton. Mr. Reed, who appeared for the bankrupt, asked for the 'reduction of this receipt, but it was not forth . oonung liis Honour said the business of the court must not be . interrupted by solicitors neglecting their obvious duty and not producing the necessary papers. In such cases in future he should visit them with costs. The detaining creditor was examined in proof of the above facts. He added that a bill had been given for the goods, which was dishonoured. (Bill not produced.) He afterwards found that part of the goods had been pledged. The Commissioner— ow did vou find that ? Witness—They told me se. r got part of them back. The bankrupt and Harris. who was also liable on the bill, were sued, and they defended separately. By Mr. Reed—Harris also traded as Buxton and Co. The goods were sold for two-thirds cash, and the remainder to be paid when the gods got out to the colonies. Had known Harris as a friend for fourteen years, and had made out other invoices to Harris and Christmas. Mr. Beale, tailor, Bishopegate-street, deposed that he had known the banlmmt under the names of Fiedler, Fuller, Fisher, Bennett, and Buxton. He knew him as Buxton in August, 1867. He had pledged goods in the name of Bennett. He had dealt in amnion goods at one time. and had perhaps 2001. worth in a room in Union court, at the time of the trial. Witness had lent him some money on the deposit of some of the meters pur chased from the detaining creditor. Mr. Lane opposed for another deteining creditor, Mr. John Holt, of Leeds, on the ground that the bankrupt had not obtained his discharge under a former adjudication, The bankrupt, further examined by Mr. Reed, stated that he was merely a servant in the house of Buxton and Co, paid by a commission, Harris being the principal. He knew of the purchase of the meters, but did not know of their destination. Harris obtained money on them ;he had since been bankrupt.' He (bankrupt) had some goods in Union-court, but they were only there on .• appro." Br Mr. Woollett—]lnd never represented himself.' to Mr. Sroiaschroeder as Mr. Buxton, but distinctly said that his name was Fieller. Had refused to accept a bill as W.l - Buxton and Co. Mr. Reed submitted that there was no intentional fraud in tieing the name of Buxton and Co. Some of the most respectable merchants in the city were tradiug as firms in names different from their own. His Honour said the case must stand over till after the choice of ass 'II there was somebody to look after the estate. The bankrupt might renew his application im mediately after the choice. PRELDILVART RLICItirrICIZS. His Honour has laid down a rule that where the appli cations for release and other preliminary proceedings are not disposed of by 12 o'clock, he will postpone the re mainder until after the regular liminess of the court is disposed of.

The old Marylebone Theatre in Church-street,. Portman Market, which enjoyed the distinction of having the longest stage in London, and was owe under the' management of the late Mrs. Warner has been entirely reoonstructed, and will open to-night ? (Saturday) with 4n oriental spectacular drama called Pinder Singh, in which it is not difficult to recognise the French original of Tar Sim ef Ltseknew, lately performed at the Gaiete Theatre , in Paris, under the title of La Foseitifs. The audience part of the bens.. has been enlarged by reducing the sire' of the stage. several rows of elegant stalls have been added, and the whole has been redecorated with con siderable taste and liberality. A new and improved chief entrance Las been built, and the manager. Mr. M. U. Lacey, is evidently determined to try the experiment of conducting a first-class local theatre in a way which ought to command success. His company is large—the principal actress and directress being Miss Amy Sedgwick, and his principal actors are Mr. Neil Warner and Mr. George Melville. Mn. MARK LEMON'S " FALSTAFF."—Mr. Mark Lemon gave a private 1 . dress rehearsal" of his new Shakesperian entertainment an Thursday night, at the Gallery of • lllustration, before a large and distinguished audience. He ha's selected all the most telling scenes from limp Hoary ble Fulula, illustrating the character of Sir John Falstaff, and assisted by a complete dramatic company, be performs them in front of a fixed. picture, the change of place being marked Eby some such placards as were suspended on the stage in Shakespeare's time. A dress rehearsal" is probably the greatest torment to which an actor can be subjected, and it rarely gives the au dience a clear idea,of the merits of a performance. Enough, however, was seen on Thursday night to prote that Mr: Mark Lemon tad not only completely mastered all the phases of Shakespeare's most humourous creation. but is imbued with that sympathy for Falstaff without, which the task of dramatic realisation would be almost impos sible. The repreientations are in costume, and the first will be given on Monday neat. .BERT.-.{THIS DAY.) t.)NE VOLOOK.

The I marquis was not present at Newmarket this week from indisposition.---Sperhey Tam Newsmaker /Jarmo R2,lo.—For the future, an annual subscription of five guineas will be charged to the Newmarket betting tinge, and admission limited to mem bers of Tattersall's and the Newmarket subscription room, and others properly introduced. Daily and weekly tickets will be abolished. It is to be hoped (says the Sportily Gazette) that this capital arrangement will prevent the overcrowding and bear-gardensveues which wore so much complained of during the present week. The Sperling Life says a request that gentlemen would conduct their lehting transactions in a more subdued tone was posted in the rooms at Newmarket on Wednesday, by order of the committee, who had received from subscribers complaints of the noise made by certain speculators. Confirming . the opinion advanced by our Turf corre spondent, ` Meteor, " when such a hubbub was created by Sir Joseph lawley's Derby Declaration, the .sporting Gazette of to-day has the following : '• A great deal of absurd nonsense has been written from time to time about 'declarations to win,' and the duty of an owner in reference to a custom that has been in ex istence for the last seventy years. It is an established rule in racing that if an owner starts two horses be is bound to win with the beet, unless he declares to the contrary ; and this ' protecting dame' is seldom ogled into force, unless to avoid penalties for other engagements, or to meet the exigencies of peculiar cases, as the very fact of making the declaration is proof positive that the owner has his doubts as to the possibility of carrying it out. The last Derby afforded a remarkable case in point. Sir J. Hawley declared to win with Bosicrucian or Oreen Sleeve, in preference to Blue Sown, because all his money was on those two—not from any idea that they would beat Blue Gown, because be knew too well they could not do so, " bar accident," but because, min this instance it suited his purpose, which he and every other owner is justified in studying before the interest of the public and all the world besides." All Mr. radvnek's horses in training are to be sold at Tattersall's on Monday, October 22. SEWING INTILLIGINCIL-(77118 DAT.) • Losoos, Oct. 10. —Wind at noon weaterly, light breeze and One.

The constable afterwards went to Woolwich and broughtup the marine who had been robbed, named Thomas Staines, and he at once identified the prisoner.
