It stated, oubehalf of the bankrupt, that he bad no private debts ; all his liabilities were on behalf of com panies. His Honour asked what was the bankrupt's position when he incurred thou liabilities. The bankrupt said he was jointly liable with three others, and had the companiesbeen snooessful, the lia bilities would easily have been met. The 3751. returned u a good debt was due to him from the lJniversal Bank for his services is secretary.

TRH POLICE COURTS. • (THIS DAY.) CLWRICENWILL VIII LATI C•6I ow N•IIBLAUGHTI3I IT • Pnanine. Moment Brows, a pugilist, surrendered to his recagni seam, charged with weaulting and musing the death of John Lowman, an omnibus-driver, at the Archway Tavern, Upper Holloway. Mr. Beard, solicitor, proseeuted ; Mr. Bayer defended ; and Inspector Westlake, Y division, watched the cam on behalf of the Commissioners of Polies. 1 The facto of this case have been fully reported, seed it will be remembered (bat the deceased was with his omnibus' on the 11th ult., when the defendant, who was the worse for liquor, wasted to get on the omnibus, but was prevented doing so by the deceased. This annoyed the defendant, who caught bold of the complainant, threw him, and broke his Lc. The doomed was taken to the King's College Hospital, where be went on very well for a short time, bat afterwards became worse sad died. Mr. Beard now said that he should have to ask for further remand, as the witnesses were not in attendance. After the defendant was admitted to bail last week, and left that comet, he was apprehended and taken to Nougat* on the coroner's warrant for manslaughter, and believ- ing that he was still there he had direoted the wit. MOWS not to attend, and be was not aware that the defendant had been admitted to bail by the Coroner until be (Mr. Beard) arrived at this court and saw him here. He (Mr. Beard) believing that the defendant was still cot:fined hi Newgate, bad written to Sir George Grey for en order to have the defendant produced at this court to undergo his examination ; and on Satarday last hal received the fa. lowing oommunication " Whitehall, March 23,1866. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22nd bat, requesting that Themes Brown, who ban been committed to the gaol of Benet* under the coroner's warrant for trial ce a charge of manslaughter, may be brought up at the Clerkenwell pollee court, in order that the own may be in vestigated before the magistrate, and to acquaint you that the Secretary of State has no power to issue an order of WAN description.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, T. 0. B•11110.—Thoolee Beard, Esq., 10, Basinghallatrest, 8.C." That letter would show that he (Mr. Beard) was not aware that the defendant was at large, and as he wee at large he could sot be prejudiced by the as being again remanded. He deeply regretted to inform the court, that elope the last examination the father of the deceased had died. The unfortunate man, who had died in the hospital, Vie an only son, and his death had ea preyed on the mind d the father that it bad caused hie L death of a broken heart. Mr. Sayer said he did not oonelder that there was est ince enough before the court to enable the magistrate le detain the defendant on a chame of manslaughter, bat wader the circumstaoces he should not object to a further remand. Mr. Beard said on the next occasion be should ask the magistrate to send the defendant for trial for the assault as well as the maeslaughter. Mr. Raker remanded the case, but consented to allow the defendant to be at large on his entering into the same re sognizances as heretofore. That being done the defendant left the court with his friends. WORBHIP•STREET. A RAD CAII2 OF ATTZMPTID BUICIDZ. Eliza Mks, about 45 ran of ase.

Mr. Dayman said that was • point which must be cleared up to his satisfaction before he could (*avid. Mr. Bent pointed out to the magistrate that part of the duty wee to assist the driver to work the angina. Mr. Lodge, the locomotive fireman at Waterloo station, said that part of the duty was to make up the fi re, grease sod oil the engine, and attend to the break. Mr. 'Nyman doubted whether the driver or fireman of an engine came within any of the descriptions mentioned in the act of parliament. The only exception which he could find wee in the we of husbandry, and that was work foe the manufacture of food. There must be something manu factured to bring the case within the meaning of the word handicraftsman. For instance, a coachman is the oldee time was not brought under the act, though it k required great skill to be a °nehmen. but yet he was not alt s. handicraftsman. He was of opinion that there must be so something more than a calling. He recommended the company to frame their °Debacle in such a way as to have a. the remedy in their own hands.

A remarkable Instance of self-destruction has r , teetered in • null room attached to the basement of the e s . Suess Hotel, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street. It seems that da. foe nearly two years • German named Fellow, by U. trade a agnate, and of eccentric habits, had been St. lodging there. Of late hie trade bat saved him bat little, sod his condition is reported to have been miserable IT in the extreme. His cheeses for some days had been re- N . marked by some of the other lodgers, end this morning the Ls manager of the hotel determined on endeavouring to facer• to Lin the cause. Accordingly, polioe-constable Gale was 100 called in, and the door of the room in which the nafortonate ~1 6° man lived wee forced open, when • sickening spectacle "e" presented itself. The lifeless body of the man was seen as . partially lying on a form, facie upwards, with one leg baog tt ing down, the head being nearly severed, and the right hand %IR daubing a razor. The door was covered with dry clotted sta blood, from which it is supposed that the act was corn- IL misted nearly • week since. The arrangement& for effect fog his own death must have taken the deceued some time th . to acoomplish. A wooden bedstead sad a form were et, the chief articles of furniture in the room, in which was 26 a small cupboard. The door of the cupboard wee II found open with the bedstead placed near it, the form St hear died alongside. The poor fellow had employed a g hatchet, used in his trade, In which he bored a hole, bet 8 , finding the leverage not suited to his purpose, he merle Lc mother higher up the handle. This be flied to the bed- al post by a screw, and a pieta of strong rope was then pro- It cured, to which was attached • heavy stone. The rope a at L was then thrown over the cupboard door—the end being fastened on the onesidetied the stone hanging over %heather. st He must then have plead himself on his back on the form, to railed the hatchet, and put his head so se to meet it when it fell. In this position be out the rope with the razor, to and the stone falling on the hatchet his death most have St been instaatansous. Wore forcing open the door the constable tore down a IN " pieta of paper attached thereto, en which was " written — Saturday—Gone out ; will not be in until the afternoon. sz Leave your address in the bar, please." lgp 17 1.0 08 41 84 N 100 100 100 1106 04 86 87 30 'daring, trassit.d) uasto-traz.ool4(LisL • --•-- • kuairslisa dram.

Mr. EDWARDS, the company's solicitor, then entered into 100 • long megawatt of the Mandel position of the eomptoy, which he summed up by stating that the total loss of the 84 . °mossy amounted to 126,0001., against which them eg, was 25,0001. in the company's favour, leaving in round numbers ICO,OOOI. to the bad, or a liability of from 101. gl to 121. per share.

Watson sad Co. owed them 168,0001., eg„ besides arrears in cells amounting to 100,0001. more ; and es. even a small dividend on that amount would be IL something considerable. A very large sum might 20 ultimately be received by the shareholders from that estate.

'HIS DAL) Owl tilhoow. The news from Germany, with respect to the progress of the quarrel between Austria and Prussia, has had a prejudicial effect upon stocks and shares to-day, and prices are dull. The funds exhibit chief depression, and have declined to per cent. English railways have also given way in some cases, bat foreign bonds and financial shares are steady ; Imperial Mercantile have experienced a fresh reduction of 2s. 6d., on the an nouncement of the call. The shares of the discount companies are rather firm, and those of Overend, Gurney, and Co., show a recovery of 2s. fki. Ameri can securities are better. The amount of business, on the whole, is limited, attention being still di rected to the settlement of the account, which will conclude to-morrow. . The discount market is very quiet, but, owing to the diminished supply of money, the rate for choice bills is firm at 51, to 6 per cent. In the Stock Ex change short loans on English government securi ties are not obtainable below 6 per cent., and ap plications have accordingly been made to the Bank for a considerable amount. Consols are now quoted 861 to for money, and 84 for the sth April. Foreign stocks are inactive, and the only notice able movement is a rise of per cent, m Spanish Passive Bonds. The prices are as follows : Greek, 141 to f ; Mexican, 24 to 221 ; Spanish Paseive, 271 to f ; ditto Certificates, 161 to i ; Turkish, 1862, 68 to 1; ditto, 1865, 371 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 1 to o dia., ex div. ; and Italian, 1861, 601 to The Viceroy of Egypt's new loan is rather dull, at} to 1 prem. The Rifleman has arrived from Sydney with 46,5001. in gold, making a total of nearly 400,0001. to be disposed of, the bulk of which is expected to be sent into the Bank. International Financial shares are now quoted to 1 die. ; General Credit, par to prem. ; London Financial, 6 to 51 dis. ; Imperial Mercan tile, 21 to 2i die. ; Credit Fonder and Mobilier, 11 to 1 prem.; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 1/ to 1 prem. ; and National Discount, 71 to 8 prem. The Stock Exchange is expected to be closed on Monday next (Easter Monday), as many of the members will be present at the Volunteer Review at Brighton. About 6,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. The amount of Australian gold known to be now on the way to England is 434,0001. The Rifleman has 46,5001. on board •, the White Star, 27,0001. ; the Lanarkshire ' 74,5001. ; the Result, 7 0 , 0001 . ; the Damascus, 54,0001. • the Champion of the Seas, 64,5001. ; the Norfolk , 75,5001. ; and the Win nington, 22,0001. It is stated that the recent large shipment of specie from Marseilles to the East by the steamer Said consisted chiefly of Mexican dollars, and that they were sent in anticipation of an advance in the China exchanges. Advioes from Liverpool refer to the failure of several speouletors for a rise in Grand Trunk of Canada Railway stock. The directors of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association have just announced a call of 5/. per share. This measure, it is said, is dictated less by actual wants than by a wish to take every precaution, and, consequently, the call is made in two equal instalments of 21. 10s. each, payable on the 16th of May and the 15th of June next. On the 100,000 shares of which the company is com posed, this call will produce the large sum of 500,0001., thus raising the paid-up capital to one million sterling. The measure is a strong one, but, though affording s further significant indica tion of the pressure of the times, will tend to place the undertaking upon a more solid basis. The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,7631. over last year; and the South Eastern au increase of 1,6641. The receipts of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the month of February were 408,864 dole. against 327,269 dole. in February, 1865, and 179,041 dole. in 1864. An official memorandum from the secretary of the Great Western Railway of Canada informs us that from the accounts of the half-year ended 31st of January last, the board have decided on recom mending a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum free of income tax, leaving • balance of 11,0001. to be carried over, which includes the sur plus of the previous half-year. For the cor responding period of the previous year the dividend was at the rate of only 2 per cent. per annum. The annual meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company is called for the 25th April. The second ordinary meeting of the British and Californian Banking Company (Limited) is to be held ou the 16th April, when a dividend will be declared.

MT8T118101:78 Doom —Yesterday afternoon an inquiry was held before Mr. Carter, the coroner, at the Duke of Clarence Tavern, Panto:l.oos, Newington, re specting the death of Mr. Charles William Pay, aged 41 yea**, of the firm of Pay and Son, wise merchants, of Fen ohnroh.street, City. From the evidence brought forward it seamed that intense 12 sod 1 o'clock on Thursday morning the deceased was lying au the steps of Hawkatone-hall, Waterloo-road, ismosible. Police•constable 121 I, on arriving imagised from spoearances that deceased was under the influence of drink, and with assistant), placed him on a stretcher and conveyed him to the Tower-street station, where he was charged with being &ask and incapable and locked up. Daring the night the sergeant on duty visited him several times in the cell and tried to rouse him and obtain his name, but he made oo answer. About 5 o'olock in the room ing the sergeant on duty, on going to the eell, found him still i 'ibis, mid sent for Dr. Blades, who, after an examination, ordered his removal to St. Thomas's Hospital. On his clothes being searched, upwards of 541. in notes and gold was found, and • pocket-book and rapers. which led to his ideritifioatioe. A rail way ticket from Mortlake to Waterloo was also toned upon him. On Wag received into the hospital, he was attended by Dr. Lem, the assistant medical officer, but he gradually sank and expired on Thursday night. A post tiurteis eraminstion showed that death bad resulted from extravesatioo of blood on the brain consequent upon a frac ture of the skull about 7 io. lone. It appeared that the de ceased was perfectly sober at 4 o'clock in the aftersoos. He had not been very well for some time, and had swooned several times. The oorooer observed that at present there was no evidence whatever to show how such an exten sive injury was caned, or how it was deemed came to be in the condition io which he was f mint It would be advisable to have as adjourenseut in order to ascertain if violence had been used towards him or not. for although money was toned upon him yet a robbery might have been attempted, and those engaged in it frustrated in their plans. The jury entirely oscoarred in the views of the c oroner, and UN inquiry was adioereed.
