I ll\‘ '1 THE ANGLESEY MILITIA. The Anglesey Militia, which was temporarily re dated to 34, is gradually recruiting its numbers, several of the men having been re-attested. The present strength of the oorps is about 100. In a meat issue of the Doily . News, a paragraph appeared describing the state of this regiment, consequent upon the decision of the War Office for the discharge of the men of 1852. It was then Meted that this officers had been set upon by the discharged men, and had bad to draw their swords to enforce obedience, or to prevent violence; that several riots originating in drunkenness occurred, one of which nearly terminated fatally to a militiaman, who received a severe wound in the head ; that, amongst those who temained, symptoms of insubordination had been manifested, and that no picket could be mustered to patrel the streets. A com munication from Lieutenant-Colonel T. P. Williams, t h e commanding officer, has subsequently appeared in a morning isontensporary, giving to the whole of these statements posi tive sad unqualified contradiction. Under these einem guess, farther and personal inquiries have been made on the epot, and the result has proved that the particulars given in this paper were cowed. The following official report, presented by the borough pollee officer of Beaumaris to the Watch committee may midst the public in judging between opposite assertioss : " , March 30.—About 6 p.m., the town being put ist•=ossfusion by the militiamen being drunk and figistbeg to WI directions of it, I ailed, with Mr. T. A. Dew, ups the sergeant-major, to know if he intended to mend outs piglet to look after the men who were setting the town is an uproar. He said that he weld not ; that the tradespeople and authorities of the town had set the mes against them ; that they could eserciao no discipline on them ; that he we. in danger himself, and going to lock up his house. He afterwards said that it was the officer of the day, Mr. Roberts, that was to order pickets out, who was not in town. I again called with Capt. Jones, who asked me to tell the sergeantinajor to egad a picket out, and to send a man op to Elesilly's, to acquaint Captain Hampton of the state of the town. He said he would send to Nulty's, but would not send out a picket, for he could not get them, and that the town might thank themselves for it. And no picket being seat out, I got seven constables out for the ataht." In addition to the disorders here detailed, the following incidence may also serve to show the grounds upon which the inhabitance have petitioned the authorities for the re moval of the militia from Beaumeris. Os Easter Tuesday two militiamen were drinking aP the Marquis Tavern. Some words arose between one of them and a person pre. sent. The militiaman pulled out a pistol, and presented it at his antagonist. The landlady, frightened, begged him to be quiet, on which he turned round and actually fired the pistol at the woman. Some of the shot, passel through bee sap sad kasehad it off her bead. The woman has = sji been in assessate, but deeliew. Later, a milltiam n, he his pay after being discharged, was at the Irbil!, pay. CM being refused more drink, he snatched a knife oft the table, and attempted to stab the female ser vant.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.--Anw. 27. 0001.11=1. 11 Yes Co. —AARON lIIRCLETILE FAILURE. This was the adjourned examination meeting in the ca. of William Close Currie, merchant, of Moorgate-street, trading under the firm of Currie, Dale, and Co. The accounts, which are voluminous, have already appeared io detail in the Daily New. Subjoined is the report of Mr. 'Fennell, the official assignee, which completes the history of the bankrupt's trading: " The petition in this case is dated on the 3rd of February, 1855. The bankrupt commenced trading in partnership with a Mr. Pew, but that partnership having been dis solved in March, 1862, in the following June he eel:om en:wed business, under the fins of Currie, Dale, and Co. Dale, it is stated, soon retired from the concern, in which he never took any active part, on account of bad health ; but I do not find that any regular diseolution ever took place. Both Currie and Dale were without resources of their own, having borrowed 1,0001. from Messrs. Scott, Richmond, and Co. to enable them to open • bauluog account. The bankru pt suspended paymett on the 15th of September, 1854, when the creditors, having been called together, appointed three inspectors ; and Mews. Broom, Bagehow, and Co. meountante, were by them en gaged to writes, the Wogs, which were greatly in sneer, sad to invegaisate the bankrupt's affairs. These preliminary I pmesedinp ommionad an expense of upwards of 3001., though linwhanytey was the ultimate result. The balance- Meet nemmenese on the lit of January, 1852, and the ao goestienignia over • period of two years and eight months slowing the following results. [Then (.flow' the detail; of the accounts ] The trade of the bankrupt has resulted in great loss. he is now owing, accotding to his Waage. sheet, in debts sad liabilities, the sum of 66,6021 ; and the I assets are made to amount to 34,0591. Nothing like this sum is holy to be realised. The trading dot. not show say profit ; on the contrary, the ascertained lon, at the date of the petition, amounts to 12,3031. ; Is addition to which the trade charges are returned at 7,1151.; and the personal expenditure of the bankrupt amounts to the sum of 3,8171. 1 The books hare been indifferently kept. Ample materials, however, exist making op the accounts which have been subeequently filed; so that the books as they at present stand repreeeat with accuracy the position of affairs, though defaced by several ermines." Mr. Bees, for the assignees, stated that there was no ob. j etion to the bankrupt's p assing. They believed the se counts were the best he could render ; and they hoped that the estate would prove • good one. Passed accordingly. WOES ■a. The bankrupt, J. lionekton, was a licensed victualler, keeping the Kane Samar Tavern, in King-street, baker- ' street. This was the tortifleste meeting. The unsecured 1 debts were 9001. ; assets between 4001. and 5001. Mr. Lawrence, for the assignees, offered no °rabies& Yr. Lucas spno-ed, on behalf of Km. Elizabeth Levy, of the Strand, a creditor for 1801 ,on the ground that the bankrupt had vezationsly defended an action. The bank rupt had been sued on a bill fa January last, when be pleaded that be did not end re the bill, and refused to admit his handwriting, whereby the costs of the action had bean increassd by nearly 301. Mr. Reed, for the bankrupt, urged, that the diseoc , charged en the bill was exorbitant, and that the hsokf apt had been given to understand by the attorney for fire. Levy that he need mks no slope abcot the His Honour said it was necessary teat the court should do sometbing to pat an end to the ernes of "'emboli+ defences.

Mr. Chidley, on behalf of a creditor, tendered a proof for 41101. under the 175th mace a the Bankruptcy Cormaida um Act, as the value of an annuity granted by the heali ng. Honour said the creditor would smarm to have re ceived 501. a year for ten years in return for an 'drams of 501. There was, however, ao legal objection to the proof and it mast be admitted. Admitted accordingly. The bankrupt's seambration was adjourned to the 14th of May. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COun, IN TIM Y 11.21112 01 JOHN IDIIII SPALDISG. This insolvent, the step-son of Lord Brougham, applied on his petition to be discharged under the ass from the Queen's Prison. There was no opposition by the creditors. Kr. Bargood supported the aPphmlios. The case appeared to have attracted a geed deal of &ten don by the crowded state of the court. Although the case was unopposed, it was not called ea till some othee ashen had Ne i heard The landhet appeared in the box, and Mr. CeaiUrM , Plll .6.. ehmmed that it did not sesta that them hes My •P Elruirood mid thine was not, and begged to make a lbw remarks, es the appearance of Mr. Speldiag bad been setielpated by what had appeared in some o f the news papers. The case bad already 'noised popularity, and popularity had been deseribed es being known to others of whom you knew nothing. Prom the family position of the gentleman, his appearance had been advertised, and in the statement to winch he bad alluded the name of Lord Sheffield, instead of Inrd Suffield, had been used. Mr. Commissioner Phillips observed that Sheffield for Suffield was dearly a =Utah". Mr. Sargood said the liabilities entered into wen fee Lord Suffield, now deceased, and the mistake had been made, which in Justice to other parties should be amulet. Be (Mr. Sugood) wee anxious on the part of the seedesem before the court to say • few words, for the reams he bad stated. Not only was there no opposition is the ease, but none had bees intend. The well known son of Mr. Spalding bad died in the service of his country, and he came over to see his mother. There were esveral creditors who could have taken him in execution, but Mr. /Bowman, Mr. Thompson, and others, to their credit, did not do N. A solicitor, however, did arrest him, and detainen sprang up. An effort was made that Mr. Spalding should not come to the court, and arrangements had been pending for the pay ment of the debts. One gentleman, however, a Mr. Levy, declared that he would not take his debt and costs without his full interest Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked the amount of the interest. Mr. Sargood did not exactly know. The insolvent interposing said it was about 60 per Oft Mr. Sargood said Mr. Levy was the Mune" of a bill of exchange. The insolvent's attorney gave some explanation about as action which had been brought on the bill. The Insolvent said he bad received 801. or 901.0 s about a 1401. bill. Mr. Sargood said the fall interest would then be from to 90 per cent. The insolvent's attorney said the bill was for 1201. Mr. Serried proceeded with his statement, and remarked' that the amount of debts in this ease was no secret, as it had already gone forth to the public. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said he; was sure there were some debts which had been renewed. Mr. Sargood said Mr. Spalding bad renewed debts. In 1862 an act of parliament passed to realise Mr. Spalding's estate, and ultimately the debts provable would be paid. Debts had been proved before the Court of Session in Scotland. Another unfortunate circumstance was that the debt of Mr. Spalding's son happened a few days before he came of age. It wee an even: detrimental to others. There was one point of importance he wished further to mention, end that was although the debts and liabilities were 10,0001., the debts owing to tradesmen were not more than 8001., sad that circumstance should go forth to the public. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said the learned counsel bail no doubt exercised a sound disoretioa. As to him (Kr. Commissioner Phillips) his duty wu very simple. These was no opposition by the creditors, and they were the best judges whether they had any complaint, and therefore:Mr. Spalding was folly entitled to have, what he was happy to give, his discharge. The insolvent wee discharged, - and I IL,. Bowater, a creditor, appointed assignee, on a nomi nation. The debts and liabilities on the schedule arc 10,4071., and the insolvecry is attributable to the insolvent's inability to realise his estate, and to the liabilities incurred for Lord Suffield, together with having renewed debts snider a former insolvency. There is a statement of property on the schedule. The debts under the former insolvency are 60,0001. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.-APRIL 28. WO= MIMI. OVSNIT, MALL V. THE CITY OP LONDON AND COUNTIES NMI HOLD LAND SOCIETT.—INPORTANT TO DEPOSITORS IN LAND SOCIETIES. The plaintiff in this action is one of the shanholden in the City of London and Counties Freehold Land Society, gad sought to recover the sum of 141. 19s. 9d., the amount et subeeriptions paid in on two shares in that society. The facts of the can were then : The society was formed in Much, 1863, and defendant took two shares of fifty guinea each. I. May following he drew a right of choice, and in the next October, a second choice, and ultimately chops two lots on the Walthantstow Estate from the plan, but did not take possession. Re, however, signed the anal contract with the society, by which he became instilled to the pro perty, and he was debited in the books of the society, and also in hie pass bodk with the fall amount of the shares, bat signed a request to the society to delay making out the conveyances. In November last, he was desirous to withdraw, under the 23rd rule of the eociety, which gives shareholders the privilege of withdrawing, on giving 14 days' notice ; but the secretary stated that the committee considered he had, by accepting the lots, barred his right to withdraw ; and, acting on that impression, he had paid three further subscriptions. Mr. Child, who appeared for the company, said that the question was whether plaintiff was entitled to withdrew after accepting the lots as he had done, for he had become something more than a mere depositor; and although be had not actually taken possession of the property, he had exer cised a control over it by asking for delay In the execution of the conveyances, by which he might, if he had thought proper, have gone into the market and sold his shares at an advanced price, and had the conveyance made to the pur chaser. His Honour said that it was clear, in the absence of any rule to the contrary, that the plaintiff could not mover ; for by the pass-book. the entries m which had been assented to by the plaintiff, there was actually a balance due from him to the society ; and none of the rules provided for the return of the deposits after lots had been accepted. Judgment was therefore gtven for the society.

He crossed over the road to get away from the defendant, but the defendant ease after him, stood in front, and said, with an inspreeation, "If you will take off ooat give yen a good hiding." While in these of m ove rng his belt, the defendant struck him ; and he grappled with the defeadant, and they fell together. He got up, and was taking off his coat, when the defendant again strack him in the facie, and he again grappled with the deftndant, and they fell down. Another policeman ease up, and said to the defendaat, " What are you about—cat it." The defendant then seised him by the sonar, and swore that he would look him up. The defendant dragged him as far as Betters street, and then let bin go, telling him he might go to a certain place. He told thede fondant he would go to the station-house and make a cow gisint against him. Inspector Cheekley said the complainant came to the sindes-bouse and made a statemeat the same in all its oda Maws as what he now made. !lalehmlent denied the charge, and said he had been Intimbeed with improperly by the complainant, who was not rem. Mr. Hardwick was of opinion that the probabilities were all in favour of the eomplainast. It was hardly likely the semplainaat would have invented such a story as that which related to the eonstable's conduct toward. the woman, and it was the complainant who made the charge at the station. He should, therefore, take the case u proved against the defendant, and Inflict a fine of 40s. HAMMERSMITH. A well.dressed middle-aged woman, who gave the name of Mary Roberts, and described herself as being married and in the possession of 1,0001. per annum, with other property, was charged with the following robbery. Mrs. Ana Such, the wife of a gentleman residing at No. 4, Henover-oottsges, Regent's-park, deposed that the pri soner had recently occupied furnished apartments in her house at the rate of 30s. per week, for herself, three children and one servant. She left about seven or eight weeks since, sad after she had gone witness missed from a chest of drawers which stood upon the lobby on the first floor un locked, two night-dreasee, two chemises and two pain of cotton drawers. There were a great many articles of value in the drawer., and she had missed other things, besides the articles she had mentioned, but she could not tell who had taken them. The prisoner same to her house about a week afterwards to pay her rent, and to remove a great many things she had there, and she then mentioned her low, and the prisoner denied all knowledge of them, and laid the blame upon her servant, wbo, she alleged, h ad left her clandestinely in the dead of the night. Sergeant Barthy, No. 19, T division said the prisoner had lately taken a house upon Aeon-hill, Acton, and the first notice he had of the missing things being in her pos session was from the laundress who washed for her ; she had seen the linen marked with the name of the prosecute: in fall, and he consequently proceeded to take her into custody. The prisoners conduct had been rather extraor dinary while living in Acton, and she would not allow any perms to enter her house ; he therefore war obliged to re sort to stratagem, and he managed to get into the hoar* on Wednesday last. He took her into custody that time, bat she had only been confined about a fortnight, and he there fore allowed her to remain in the house, under the surveil lance of a constable, until that morning. The prisoner, who carried a young infant in her declared that she told the officer that her servant had left the articles in her house, and that she had merely re tallied them until she had got better. She was a erupt in this eciantry, only having arrived from abroad a few months ago. Her husband was still abroad managing a large estate, and she had flu sons in merchants' oft.. abroad. She had 1,0001. a year left her by her father, and she had a large quantity of plate and jewellery, so that she had no cause to steal a few paltry rep. Mr. Pa ter thought it was very extraordinary that, if she was a lady of fortune, as she bad repreeented, sits lei nowsome of her friends to appear for her. prisoner said she did not like to acquaint her Mends of the disgrace in which she had been paced. A gentleman here stepped forward and said he was a dis tant relative of the prisoner, who was certainly a lady of fortane, se she had npreesated. Mr. Paynter accepted his surety in the sum of 4001. for the prisoner's appearance on Thursday. 0011110.—Lrrairoot, Aram 21.—itis market closed with some szattoment, and priers of all litiods are extreme, and Americans about &Id. par, lb. are vary muse.

They recommend that, in lien of the mileage fee, an additional penny in the pound should be charged. Further they recommend that fees should be modified or abolished to the extent of 124,8001., which is rather lees than one half the annual amount now produced, that being 253,5181. lathe fess to be modified or abolished is the general fund fee. That is recommended lobe abolished, and will an nually release the suitors to 37,0001. The next is to modify the hearing fee, where the parties consent to a judgment, that will save 18,0001. a year. The fee on paying money into court produces 14,0001., and that is to be abolished, and also the mlieag I frt., which amounts to 15,0001. a year. Other fees are to be abolished or modified, making the de crease about ono-half of the present fees.

As the "Derby-day" approaches—that day which may with all truth be called the jour de Can of the metro pohtan population—the public assists with an increasing ardour at the Field against the Favourite, which was pro duced as the Easter piece at this theatre with great success. The rout, the rattle, and the race of that great day have need an adequate expression in the combinations end equidramatio resources of the theatre. The specific cha racters of the "Day"—the jockey, the gambler, the fast man, the man about town, the rout/ and the rogue, the "pent." and the juggler, Sad their sufficient illustration in the staff at its command. It is but natural, therefore, u the real "Derby" approximates, books making up, pie-nies preparim, sad Champagne la cowspsetti, that the mimic fiction should impart a more lively pleuure amidst the ezeitmosat of actual equipment.
