Pgaleo now ea on its last stage, to r biriog been appointed for the advocates on the teepec. to aides to address the court. The bankrupt, it will be 7 .embered, was a merchant and shipowner, of Nicholas. sad Hull. Br. Lierrance appeared, as before, for the assignees ; Mr. Baer for creditors ; and Mr. C. E. Lewis for the bankrupt. yr. Lorrance merely repeated what he had said on a -er ,w,aision —that while the assignee, disapproved of I,,,,kropie conduct, they did not ass that it brought him the penal clauses. Bagley observed that this, though the first, would • not be the last case coming before the court, where A ntrum' would attribute their failure to dealings with C.afederate States. After remarking on the great en incurred in the inquiry, three este of aocountants been engaged and the imperfect infor ,-,,0 which the bankrupt himself was able to sup , y to his owe transactions, the learned urged that the assigner themselves ought to have :Intakes the inquiry which had devolved upon individtml a-ht'm. That they bad not done so was explained by the ..ercient of the bankrupt, that the aseigness were persons acre al,o engaged in speculations of a like kind with Lterranes—That the 'aligner most positively deny. !dr. Earley maid that ooe of the assignees, Hr. Dolmas, bad been similerl7 engaged, was now bankrupt in Hr. romissioner Holroyd s court ; Hall and Soo had supplied . 3 powarr, which, with other munitions of war, had been k zed in oue of the bankrupt's ships. li. C. E. Lewis denied that any such seizure had ever :en made. _ 11 - r - liSiley referred to the bankrupt's evieetwe. The .•aNI *snow, Mr. Wee Wad, bad insured the ships ; sod Lr. Samuel/oil, the fourth, was raid to hare beau " • little :united' io the adventures. Yr. I.Twriiice said that the anis , ' ease had supplied goods the baskrupt just the iron as they would hare dons to loos else. .. _ Mr. Bagley Baal there was sufficient motive to restrain e tilaii,llllo from any very searching irwitdry into the . and hence the very gentle way in which Mr. Lew es hal dealt with the ease. Mr. Pearson had never n publicly examined in the court until a late stage of e we. when he stated that he had been in the hands of r. Lawrance ever sioos the Bth of August, 1862. Br. Lawrence denied that the bankrupt had ever been is dint. He had merely acted for the creditor who wished r:e.rot a petitioa in bankruptcy. 341ey said the bankrupt's origin was a very humble e—nor at all to his credit—and he never appeared to have I any considerable capital. In 1858 he had :te.l a post-nuptial settlement, used then pro to have a eurplus of 20,00 W., but the books only :sea 14,000/. From that time there was nothing to show he had bad any stock-taking or balance sheet what- —a circumstance not at all favourable to the bankrupt ; • one was more likely to go wrong than a ;won thus wilfully shut his eyes. In 1860 his part with his relative, Mr. Coleman, termi :•l ; still no balance sheet was taken. From • time to the bankruptcy Mr. Pearson bad indulged in • - .Kist gigantic speculations. His purchases of ships were •.ch on extent that it was wonderful how he should be ...el with so much property; but the wonder ceased :.5 it was known that at the moment of purchase he mort -1 the ships to the sellers, and afterwards mortgaged the ...it & and even the cargoes. One purchase of six ships was • ~ ,, 0601., from Mews. Owned, Gurney, and Co., : were secured as above stated. Other two were put - ler 55,000(. from the same arm. The ships that e. purchased were employed in the most hazardous speco • .ns, exports to the Confederate States, sedum, result+ been ruinous. In July, 1862, his bills were die :wed, sad in August he stopped payment. •,:ly six weeks were spent in negotiating for a . ..promise and an avoidance of bankruptcy, but • creditors, finding that these were likely to result in threw the estate into bankruptcy. The total ..litme were no less than 645,4354, against which there o property held of 320,3164 ; bat the secured creditors Intel to 447.000/., therefore, lesteed of the estate tog any benefit from this property, proofs would come against it, in addition to of the unsecured creditors for 115,330/. To -•••• those there were only good and doubtful debts of •'.. and property given up, 24,33.51. • but although 18 had elapsed since the bankruptc y, only 1,3501. had -,. received by the assignees. If the bankript's own esti •-s were realised to the utmost extent the dividend would • more than 2a. in the pound. The creditors did not re that it would be ls. sof vet 6d. Such were thedinestrous . t. 4 of this gentleman's trading, results so startling that assignees ought to have brought them before the court. )prceiog creditors differed from the assignee, as to the •-....oming within the penal claws. They thought that bankrupt was justly chargeable with trading • hctitious capital, embarking in rash and ha • •vie speculations, contracting debts without pro ± means of payment, and indulging in extravagant —Attire. As to fictitious capital, the bankrupt t,r years been in the habit of drawing accommodation • on persons with whom he bad no real traasactions. -- ...airs of this kind had been proved in examination. On • 1111,:gs, bill discounter, of Bull, he bad bills running b-fore the bankruptcy to the amount of 42,1 W/. security held by Brigp amounting only to P .1. The result was that Briggs himself had be -e banktopt. Those bills were, to ail basalts and par • bills without consideration ; and it was the duty of t- 'rawer, in law and in equity, to take up such bills, .12 ware in reality a fraud oe the commercial world, and a lie on their face. After discounting this fictitious •er in order to raise money, the bankrupt had Day Mr. Brigp a commission for his acceptance. .• had also drawn to a large amount on one • ..oherty, who was now nowhere to be found, and who bad 1 in the habit of receiving 2 per cent. for the use of his •• e. t o •• Newman and Co., an imaginary firm. tyre ' "el lo O'lloberty, he bad drawn to the amount of 5,000‘., - , :ti them a commianion of 1 percent., and no security ,terer being given.

He was struck oa his left temple, and he bled profusely. He had known the prisoner as • respectable man, and never had any quarrel with him. Frederick Jut, who was in the company of the corn plainaut, gave confirmatory evidence, and added that he saw the prisoner quarrelling with the young woman previously, in the Highetreet of Putney. Police-constable Seymour beard screams and stopped the prisoner as he was running with • female. He afterwards drew the prisoner's attention to the blood sowing from the complainant's head, and he said, " I assureeyou, poliosmaa, I did not stab him." Witmer said no one had accused him of stabbing the complainant. He then took him into cus tody, and on the way to the station be threw something into the mud. Witness marked the and after be had locked him up be returned and found a pocket-knife closed. The point of the large blade was broken off, and it appeared as if it bad been recently done. While at the station the prisoner said be would etre all the money in his porarma if they would fetch the doctor to dries the wound before the lad died. Dr. Brown, the police divisional surgeon of Wendswortb, said he saw the oomplaiaaat at 3 o'clock on Tbunday morning. He had as indeed wound on the left temple which had divided all the structures and laid the boom bare. One of the branches of the temporal artery was divided, and he had lost a great deal of blood.

Joseph litqgina,al;l;lo;ring man, of 10, Mieteer'a- buildings, Itotherbitbe, was planed in the dock, before Mr. Trail, on a remanded charge of stealing a quantity of copper bolt, and nails, the property of his emplopsr, Mr. W. I'. Beech, of Roduwhithe. The'case weefirst heard at this court oti Monday last, when it appeared from the evidence taken that about twenty minutes to 7 o'clock on Saturday night the primmer was stopped by a plain clothes o of the 11 as he was leaving his lodging, and on asking him wh a t h e had about him the prisoner exclaimed, "Oh, dear," and then assaulted the officer by laying held of his leg and throwing him down, afterwards endeavouring to get rul of the oopper by dropping it thrmgh the grating of • cellar. Being secured and Won to the sta tion, he was charged with felony, and when examined Wine the magistrate he amounted for his posseesion of the property by saying that violas to leaving home and being stopped by the ooulable be wee looking (or some blacking in the shed to clean his boots, his landlord, who was a foreman of labourers at the prosecutor's worka, being in the shed at the time, when he found the metal, and that his landlord told him to take it away and sell it, and not say anything to anybody. Upon this evi dence the prisoner was remanded until to-day, when Mr. Henry Peach, manager at the worts of the prosecutor, said that the prisoner had been employed at the works since the 20th Octo b er, and the copper bolts and nails, weighing 44 lbs., bore the government mark, being takes from her Majerty's ship Vulture, which was being broken up, and upon which t h e prisoner and other labourers had been employed. He bad previously had to prosecute two men at that mart for similar thefts, and in conse quence of suspecting the prisoner he had spoken to the foreman now amused, telling him to look after the primmer among others ; for, if property was found in his (the foreman's) boom, where the prisoner lodged, it would be difficult to persuade the public that he (the foreman) had not stolen it. On Saturday evening the foreman came to him, and in coseequenoe of information given by him, wit sees went to the police.datioa, and the prisouer was appre hended as stated. James Knight, the foreman, said in consequence of in stnictioes received from the last witness he searched about his premises, and found the copper bolts produced concealed in the waterspout, and suspecting that the prisoner, who was in ► shed in the garden, intended taking the metal out to sell, he went to the works and gave information. The prisoner afterwards left home, and witness followed him until he was taken into custody. The prisoner here confessed that his accusation against the foreman was a falsehood, and, by the advice of Mr. Massey. his solicitor, pleaded guilty. Mr. Train said the prisoner's conduct had been most heartless and abominable in attempting to destroy the ch►- racter of another man to protect himself. The property stolen being under the value of ss. he had not the power, which he should otherwise readily hare exercised, of com mitting him for sir swaths' imprisonment, but he should sentence him to throe =oaths' bard labour in Wandsworth Gaol. 4.V.VC.4L RENEWAL OF LICENSED VIC TUALLERS' LICENSES.-(THIS DAY.)

Nothing was known of this sacrilege until shout 10 o'clock the same evening. when the police-oonstable on duty. in trying one of the church doors, found it only on the latch, upon which he entered the sacred edifice, and found the boxes completely smashed to pieces.

" this is the axe." " What axe, my man? what is it to do r To strike the Ilan! and it's the bigger oee 1 could get!"
