Eves the loss of Sicily, it seems, cannot awaken the King of NAPLES from the dream in which los early life has been passed. Three weeks have sufficed to destroy his boundless confidence in the vigilance of his police and the power of his army. The capital of Sicily has been taken, not as in 1848, by surprise, from a weak garrison, but by main force, openly and after warning, from an army which, according to all military calcula tions, ought to have sulked to make insurrec tion impossible, andto secure the peace of the island. He sees no chance of regaining Sicily with his own forces, but still he oanfidently expects to rule again over his revolted subjects. Of course it must be the duty and interest of all Europe to keep him on his throne, so he appeals to the Great Powers, and sake them to intervene and secure to him the integrity of his States. This unhappy ruler, it seems, fancies that Europe is still, as in the blessed days of Verona and Laybach, a joint-stock asinillikel 00ESpsay for Kings. Probably he has never bee. told that if the monarchical principls, amidst severe preserves its vigour uninspired, it is just Weaves monarchs have been careful to make their govern ments as much as possible unlike that of Naples. In these days the governments of civilised states put forward the good of the governed as the object of their endeavours. Of course there is about their professions a deal of the hypocritical pretence which always accompanies the acknowledgment of a right standard of conduct. Of course there is much juggling with " ideas." But the principle is recognised that the institution of Royalty stands for something higher than dynastic interests or personal caprice, and attains its end in proportion as it embodies and illustrates the sovereignty of law and right. The King of NAPLIN can hardly be expected to understand this. He has been educated in the belief that he is the sun and centre of his kingdom, and thinks, doubtless, that he is so regarded from every throne. Can it be nothing to Kings and Emperors if the stars begin to fall from heaven The answers to his appeal, which the Kiwi has by this time received, must, we should think, open the eyes of the most infatuated court of Europe. What the Kiwi asks is simply impossible. His MaJorre's system of government would break down the strongest guarantees which human in genuity could devise for his security. It is not constitutions, and oaths, and good laws which the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies wants, for it has had then, in abundance : what it has not had is a King who kept his word. Fassieui, like Ficaouranto, has been a praise to evil doers and a terror to them that do welL Any time these twelve years every King and Emperor in Christendom has had a good ground of complaint against the King of N A rffas, for bringing monarchy into contempt. The KIN6'B advisers must be blind to the state of the world to ask that his revolted subjects may be brought again under his yoke by foreign agency. Where is the state in which coercion of this kind is now permitted ? Look over Europe, and it is true you will not find satisfaction, tranquillity, con fidence. You will even see swollen war-budgets, great armies, advanced posts on frontiers, and other signs of apprehension and distrust. But every where in military and absolute monarchies, as well as in constitutional States, you will see govern ments seeking to draw closer to the people. If Lours NAPOLEON is strong enough to frighten all his allies, it is because he has taken pains to study and gratify the mass of the French nation. The Emperor of RUSSIA is taking immense pains and incurring some risks in order to attach millions of emancipated serfs to his throne by re collections of gratitude. The Prince-Regent of PILVANI A is making patriotic speeches among his people ; soul even the Emperor of Avarius is seen relaxing something of HAPSSURS obstinacy, calling men from all parts of his dominions around him, and, with more or less sincerity, taking them into his confidence. No wonder, then, that govern ment after government has declined to come to the help of the King of N•rimi against his sub jects. In times past they have all done their part in giving him advice. It is not for England or France, whose saving counsels he has rejected, to set his tyranny once more on its pedestal. If any Powers have given contrary advice it is not for them to come in and increase the misery they have caused to a nation. The course which our Government would take was to be foreseen. Any action of ours must be limited to that im partial and simply humane interference which is consistent with the strictly neutral position of our Government. How careful we have been to avoid any act even of humanity- which might seem to impair our neutrality is seen in the conduct of the commanders of our ships, who witnessed passively—but, one may be sure, with suppressed indignation—the bombardment of the town of Palermo, justly stigmatised last night by Lord Raw ~ 11tIg as en offence of unexampled atro cit/. The noble and learned lord remarked poignantly that " even the most execrable tyranta " ancient unite was only charged with standing by TEE .`l.l " in levity while Rome was burets& sod IFNI " never accused of setting fire to the city for the " purpose of destroying amongst 600,0001 " human beings, those who were his enemies.' He added that, " though the principle of non- 1 " intervention was sacred and ought to be scrupn "'may observed, if it was unhappily proved that " this bombardment had taken place, he must say " that that principle of non-intervention would be " tried to the utmost. That principle was sacred " and inviolable, but it did not and could not " extinguish in their bosoms the natural feelings of " humanity—eould not prevent them from hear. " ing with indignation and horror of those crimes, "or prevent them from wishing and praying for 1" the speedy and entire liberation of the people of " Sicily, even by the downfall of their tyrants." All British hearts will respond to this eloquent language. Yet we cannot, on a view of all the bearings of the came, regret that our faithfulness to the principle of non-intervention has stood this severe trial. It is only by leaving the Italians to themselves that we can expect to see the difficulties in which they 6nd themselves, and which are in great part the work of Europe, overcome ; and for the sake of this result we may not unwisely resign ourselves to the spectacle of much present suffering.

SS, SATURDAY EATEW INTELI4GENCE. SICILY. CAPITULATION OF THE NEAPOLITAN TROOPS. "TURIN, JINN 9, 6.20 A.W. " General Leticia on his return from Naples capitulated on the 6th to Garibaldi " His troops are to embark with arms and baggage. "They are to encamp, until their embarkation, cm Route Pellegrino. " The fort a Castallamare has been placed in the keeping of the English Admiral until the evacua tion has been effected." The following telegrams have been received by Mr. Reuter : NAPLES, Joni 6. The King has agreed to the capitulation accord ing to which part of the Neapolitan troops would embark for Naples and part for Mesalna. It is not known whether Garibaldi will accept the capitu lation. TURIN, Juml 8. Advices from Minimills' and Palermo to the 4th state that Garibaldi had issued decrees for the or ganisation of the Sicilians. The royal troops, to the number of 15,000, still occupy their positions in Palermo. Many deser tions were taking place from their ranks. Orders had been sent to all the garrisons of Sicily to concentrate at Messina, where entrenchmenta will be formed. Catania had been bombarded and pillaged. A strict blockade existed between Calabria and Sicily. _ PARIS, JUNE 9. It is stated that other French vessels have been despatched to Naples. The following (says the Opinion Nationale) is the principal passage of a letter addressed by Garibaldi to the officers of the English squadron off Palermo : "The enemies of the national independence abound in calumny towards your great nation. They impute to you the odious design of speculat ing upon our heroic enterprise ; they accuse you of meaning one day to take possession of this field of glory, fertilised by the sweat of so many patriots— the blood of so many martyrs. " If this fatal prediction should ever be accom plished—if Sicily, now altogether Italian at heart, should be destined merely to exchange the despotism of the Bourbons against an interested protectorate— England would cease to be what she now is—the sister of Italy, that classic land of liberty:" The /*valid/ Raise examines at some length the chances of success which seem to exist for the King of Naples, and its arguments show much impertiality.. Although it declares ho has 9,500 men in his Guard, 80,000 in the regiments of the line, 8,000 cavalry, and 48,000 men in the reserve, he appears in great danger of having the worst of the contest. Although Garibaldi started at the bead of only 1,500 men, the Russian journal does not hesitate to declare that he it an enemy not to be despised, and that events will soon show his superiority. THE STATE OF PALERMO. The following are extracts from letters from Palermo : May 28. The irregulars are decidedly improving. They are phial, a taste for barricade and street fighting ; they still bias away their ammunition in a frantic scanner, bat they are beginning to keep to their poste and even to advance, if not too much ex posed. This is our advantage in these street fights ; the loam they last the more they increase the confidence of the irregulars and distroy the discipline of the regular troops. Every boar brings new proofs of this in the shape of prisoners and deserters from the Neapolitan forces. With those taken in the hospitals there must be above 1,000. May 29. While I was with the general (Garibaldi) a letter arrived from COTIOOII9 by which he was informed that the Neapolitan colonel comraandinj the column sent there was inclined to come over if his rank was confirmed to him. He is surrounded on all sides by guerillas, his road cut off, and he has a considerable force before him. The answer was, of course, an acceptance of his proposals, which came in en indirect way. The proposal does not surprise me. Yesterday several officers came in in plain clothes and gave themselves up. I saw about sixty or seventy prisoners and deserters in one place, who all wished to have arms and become soldiers of Italian independence. May 30, Morning. . - - The news from the country could not be better. Every where the people are rising and the troops withdrawing. On the evening of the 23rd General Alfsn di Halals *ban boned Girgenti, leaving the civil authorities to their own devices. As soon aa the troops leftthepopulation hoisted the Italian flag. A committee was formed, and a national guard. The cries were, as everywhere else, " Viva Middle," " Viva Vittorio Emmanuele," and "Viva Garibaldi." The civil authorities were respected, and although the prisoners, 200 in number, were let out, no disturbance occurred. The whole province there, as every where else, is following the example, rising, in stituting a committee, and arming itself. The pro. vince of Catania has risen, with the exception of the town, which is still held by the military as well as that of Trapani. And all this occurred before the taking of Pa lermo, the news of which event has not yet had time to produce its full effect. If the Neapolitans ever again get possession of Sicily, the Sicilians deserve to be ruled for ever by King Bombino. The Neapolitan fleet has not fired • shot since the morn ing before yesterday, when Admiral Mundy spoke his mind on the subject to the Commandore, so that one-half of the misery has been spared to the Palermitaus. But the Castello is incorrigible ; whenever it hears • notes est sews • movement in any ,part of the town down comes • shall If it were possible to miss I dare my they would, but this cannot be expected in these narrow streets. The houses ►re, for the moat part, so badly built that one shell is sufficient to make them • heap of ruins and bury the inmates. Whole families have thus disappeared, and hundreds of inoffensive people been killed and wounded. The fleet fired about 80 or 90 shells the first day ; as for the Castello, it most have thrown more than 300. The first day Garibaldi addressed • protest to the sons somders of the foreign men•of•war against this oommdly inhumanity ; but they °moot interfere directly without instructions. It is to public opinion in Europe that the appeal must be made. Let it decide whether • government which resorts to such means is worthy to mist. The parliament of Great Britain is assembled, let it take the matter in its hands. If • convict who los committed smasisinghler or burglary becomes an opprobrium in the siyse of sea, sandy the bigoted idiot who massacres in this way hundreds of &foamless people to revenge himself of kis own impoteses, deserves to be branded with infamy ! gam Jest at this momenta flog of truce has come in from the Royal Palace, with the following letter directed to General Garibaldi : " The Commend•in•Chief of the Artnies end Navel Statious beyond the Fare, Palermo, May 30, 1860. " General, —As the British admiral let me know that la would receive with pleasure on bowl of his vessel two of my generals to open a conference with you, of which he would be the mediator, if you allowed them to pass through the bass, I beg you to let me know whether you assent, and if 10 to indicate to me the hour at which the armistice is to begin. It would be likewise advantageous that you allowed the two generals to Ir, accompanied from the Royal Palace to the Smith, where they would embark.—Waiting for your answer, I have the honour to be. " Lam. "To his Excellency General Garibaldi." To this the answer was, that General Libel& would have no obisellon to meet the two generals in the admiral's vend ; that he would send round orders tie ail the line to misfiring ; that the armistice was to begin at noon, and that at 1 p.m. they should meet on board the admiral's ship Neither party can hold much longer. An epic poem could be written about what the 1,062 Italians and fire Hunga rians did in Sicily during these last twenty days ; how they fought, how they marched, how they bore fatigue. If every Sicilian was ready to do the thousandth part of what they did, there would be no more fighting re quired. AA for pay, the very word is unknown most al those who osme havemeans of their own, never ask for any thing atcept ammunition, live on what they osa buy, sad simmainsoetto bare forgotten what deep it. Iles only &w -ho& is that they were only 1,062 at landing, sad tbattbose who think themselves great in the Italian cause thought it their duty this time to impede most eirectually in rein forcements. If one was ill natured, Mb might almost =P pm that they thought it a good opportunity to get rid el Garibaldi, bat they find themselves mistaken. APPEAL BY THE KING OF NAPLES. PAM. FRIDAY, Jess & The King of Naples has not only addressed the Western Powers, but he has also invoked the simultaneous intervention of the five great Powers, in order to obtain from their collective action the guarantee for the integrity of his states. King Francis 11. hie more particularly claimed the mediation of the Emperor of the French for the pacification of Sicily, aml has promised to proclaim immediately the constitution of 1852. His Majesty has also requested the five groat Powers to employ their authority and their influence to restrain Piedmont from favouring any revolutionary movement on the mainland of the kingdom of Naples. As regards the collective action of the great Powers, the English Cabinet was the first to reply that it did not intend to interfere in any other way in the conflict between the Neapolitan troops and Garibaldi than to stop, if possible, the effusion of blood, without siding with either party. After this answer given by England the other great Powers likewise, in more or lees positive terms, declined any direct intervention. Napoleon 111. was at Lyons when fit Thonvenel transmitted to his Majesty by telegraph the de mand for mediation made by the King of Naples. His Majesty replied immediately that a mediation was only possible between two powers, and unless officially recognising the Sicilian revolution, no power could place itself as mediator between the same and the King of Naples. Lord John Russell has, however, promised to recommend to Piedmont not to foment any dis turbances in the Neapolitan possessions in the Peninsula. Except Austria, who does not maintain diplo matic relations with Piedmont, the other great Powers will act in a similar manner. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JUNK 9. The Wiener Zeitung of to-day contains a decree ordering that the stadtholderthip of Hungary shall come into effect on the Ist July next, at which period the five existing departments of the central government, which were entrusted with the ad ministration of Hungary, will be abolished. Another decree suspends the district authorities of Moravia and the provisional government of Trappan. Silesia is to be subordinate to the stadt holdership of Moravia, but the provincial status of Silesia, with a separate provincial representation, will be maintained. SPAIN. MADRID, Jun 8. Senor Merry, formerly Spanish Envoy in the Brazils, has been appointed Ambassador of Spain in Morocco. Senores Blanoodel and Vale, of the progressista party, have proposed amendments to the address in reference to the questions concerning the amnesty, and the law decreeing the banishment of the family of Don Carlos. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM o ORX PARIS, FRmAT Evenico. Much uncertainty prevails as to the conditions of the further extension of the armistice, which appears undoubtedly to have been agreed to in Sicily. The Patric says it is prolonged till June 20, and will be further extended if circumstances should require it. The following, says this journal, are " said to be the bases of the negotiation which has been spoken of : It has been settled in principle ; Ist, that no power shall interfere in Sicily by force of arms ; and 2nd, that in no case whatever shall hostilities be recommenced at Palermo." The above intelligence is neither very new nor very exhaustive ; it leaves the question—what is to be done for the moment 1 quite open. The Pays calls attention to the following letter from Turin as important : Turin, June 6. Certain news has acquired great credit to-day. It is seriously said that a project is on foot for separating Sicily from Naples by calling to the Sicilian throne the half brother of Francis IL Liberal institutions would hereafter prevail in the two kingdoms, which would contract an al. fiance offensive and defensive with Piedmont. This com promise, to which Piedmont certainly could not object, would be accepted by the European cabinets. If the question could be settled in this way, it is pro bable that Garibaldi would congratulate himself upon the immense result obtained, and would cheerfully obey an order of recall from Victor Emmanuel. Piedmont would derive a greater benefit from such a settlement than any other power. It is not therefore to be wondered at if, as we are today assured is the case, Count Caronr has given his adhesion to proposals relative to this arrange ment. I have no faith in the news of the Pays, but it is • bad sign to sec the desperate device of the Naples Bourbon, in his last extremity, adopted by the French government journal. There are dan gerous intrigues going on. . . . . It is asserted in the latest news of the Conrrier de Poke that Id. La Farina, the president of the Italian National Society, who it has been incor rectly said was about to join the Piedmonts.e ministry, has gone to Palermo to assume the civil government of the island, under the dictatorship of Garibaldi A Naples letter, of June 1, says that one of Garibaldi's aides-de-camp, Colonel Carini, was wounded by a shot from the citadel, while walking towards the sea shore, during the armistice of the 30th and 31st. thuihaldi, it is stated, bitterly complained of this breach of faith, which, however, one cannot but hope was acci dental. This news has a painful interest to me, for I know the gallant Carini well, and dined with him not long since in Paris, where he amused his leisure as a refugee by conducting a journal called the Cowrie? Prance-/tolien. The Bourse was spin heavy. The Rents fell 20c. for cash, and 10c. for account, closing (ax div.) at 681 r. 20c. in each case. Mobilier fell ler. 25c. Railways were 2fr. or 3fr. lower. When the agitation for the annexation of Savoy to France was still young, there appeared in the 3 40 - . 1180. Moniteur •a petition to the Kmperor, bearing amongst other signatures of Savoyards eager to become Frenchmen, this curious one, " Berthier, Jive en disponibilitr—the literal translation of which quality is "a judge out of place." The hint was somewhat gross, but the author knew what he was about. He has not missed his mark. The Moniteur of yesterday contains the appointment of the identical K Berthier to a mastership of re quests of the first class in the council of state—a place worthl6.ooofr. a year. The Daily News was seized to-day for the first time for many weeks. Since Mr. Cobden has been in Paris, the confiscations of the English news papers have been leo frequent than formerly. According to the Journal des Travaux Public°, 160 more millions are about to be borrowed for the improvements of the city of Paris. The latest reports from the prefects dwell upon two subjects, as especially calling for the attention of government—the probability of a bed harvest, and the really fearful stagnation of trade. NEAPOLITAN ATROCITIES IN SICILY. The following appears in the Times : In re of your powerful appeals to humanity on behalf of the appeared Sicilians, you lately noticed the atrocities committed under authority by the polio. of Palermo in the year 1848, when they lut attempted to free themselves from the oppressor, and most true is your unvarnished tale. On the morning of the 17th of February in that year I was among the foremost, and the only Englishman present, when the rush was made into the disclosed region of death which you refer to. The fact' were them:—About 40 of the sbirri had been ca pt ured by the revolutionists, treated by them with kinars, and placed in security until they could be sent to Naples —a friendly precaution to prevent their being mur dered by the indignant mob, which then broke into the police palace, and cast•the books and furniture from the wiodows. A portion of the spacious building appear xl, however, to be inaccemible ; windows and loopholes there were in it, but no opening to one entire wing of the dark prison -house. Presently, on removing one of the huge bookcases, some fresh-plastered wall appeared concealed behind it ; a purge was quickly broken through it, and the genre were almost overpowered by the steaming effluvia which issued from seven dark chamber, communicating with each other, where, upon clear ing the loopholes, • secreted scene of horror was before us, such as wants the best testimony to be believed. There lay human bodies, and the mutilated re mains of such, in every state of death and decay—bundles of rotting rags mingled with bones, and limbs, and filth filled the corners of the smaller rooms ; chains hung rivetted to the walls above, whence some of these remains had drop ped as they died—some still holding in their iron grasp the arms or uncles of their famished victims. Skeletons, almost fleshless, were piled upon others which were quite so, and faced on stone shelves which had served as their beds while wing; naked bodies, black and pulpy, were bidden beneath others more reoe ntly dead, yet nli ve with maggota ; and, greater horror still, two human bodies in writhing attitudes were hanging crucified upon the wall of the largest chamber, the reeking, blood-stained stones of which held rusty spikes corresponding to the outstretched hands and feet of others which had been so suspended, and still retain ing the stringy remains of muscles torn to shreds, from which the heavier portions had dropped and lay in heaps of putridity beneath. Shrieks of indignant horror arose from the infuriate crowd, a portion of which rushed back to the prison where tho captured sbirri were secured, brought them out, and shot them down on the instant. Others remained, raking and searching among the bones and bodies, examinin minutely the putrid remnants of those they fancied mi ght have been their fathers, brothers, or kindred, who had long been missing, but whose fate they knew not. One of the sbirri, whose life I tried in vain to save, endeavoured to prude me that the ausnded bodies were not crucified while alive, but nailed there to augment the tortures of the living prisoners.--I have the honour t 3 be, sir, your faithful servant, G.

The Viceroy, who was up the country when M. de Lesseps arrived, immediately lent a telegraphic message inviting him to join the court. He accordingly started by rail on the 27th for Damanhour, whence means of conveyance had been prepared for him by order of the Viceroy. The works of the canal are pro gressing and numerous machines will soon be sent from Prance to reinforce those already at work. The return of M. de Lesseps cannot fail to give the undertaking • fresh impetus." The Moniteur de la Flotte states that the French government, being anxious to reestablish the telegraphic communication between France and Algeria, which has been interrupted since February last by the breaking of the cable between Sardinia and Conies, is now in treaty with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., of London, for laying down a direct cable between France and Algeria. Miss Cushman, who has been residing in Rome for the last three winters, arrived in London a few days ago.

They laid before the committee the results of an independent inquiry made into the probable effects of the bill in the several townships of the borough, and those main' substantially agreed with the returns already laid be fore the House of Commons.

Other cases, showing equaly unreasonable expectations, might easily be quoted, were it necessary. Already many families intending to visit the show, and who would stay here over the week, have taken lodgings at Ramagate, Margate, and other towns in the neighbourhood, because the terms on which accommodation has been offered them in Canterbu7 are on outrageously exorbitant.

Bitting, at run Prine.—(Before the Lind Chief Baron lug Barons Bramwell and Channell.) SWINTIN V. LORD CRELWIFORD.-JLOGMENT. This was an action brought by Mn. Patience Swinfen againsttheßight Hon. Lord Chelmsford under the following circumstances:—The late Mr. Sam. Swinfen, of Swinfen Staffordshire, by his last will and testament bequeathed to the plaintiff, the widow of his son, who had pre-deceased him, his large landed estates in that county. The heir-at law disputed the will, and an issue was directed by the Court of Chancery to try the question of its validity. The cause of " Swinfen v. Swinfen " came on for trial at the Stafford assizes before Sir C. Cromwell, Mr. Swinfen's leading counsel being the present defer. dent, then Sir F. Thesiger, while Sir A. Cockburn, now Lord Chief Justice of England, led for the heist-l►w. On the second day of the trial, and in the absence of Mrs. Swinton, Sir F. Thesiger, as her counsel, entered into • compromise with Sir A. Cockburn, by the terms of which the heirmt-law was to take the estates, and Mrs. Swinton was to receive an annuity of I,ooof. a year. The lady repudiated this arrangement, and after various proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas and in Chancery eventually established her right to the Swinfen estates. She then brought an sc. tion against Lord Chelmsford to recover damages for the loss she had sustained by reason of the defendant having exceeded his duties as counseL The second count in the in. dictment charged the noble defendant with collusion with the learned judge (Sir C. Creswell) to defeat the plaintiff's rights. At the trial, which took place before the Lord Chief Baron at Guildhall, the jury found a verdict for the defendant ; a rule was subsequently moved for by Mr. Kennedy on behalf of Mrs. Swinfen for a new trial, nu the ground of misdirection as to the rights of counsel to enter into oompromises for their clients without their authority and against their instructions, the charge of fraud being aban doned. A rale nisi was granted in November last, and having been argued in that month and in January last for four days their lordships took time to consider. The Lord Chid Baron now delivered the unanimous judgment of the court. He said in this me it was their lordships' opinion that judgment should be given for the defendant. He had been retained by the plaintiff as her counsel, and the charge was that while acting in that capacity, and well knowing he was doing wrong, he bad, against her desire, entered into • compromise on her behalf in an issue di rected by the Court of Chancery, in which the present plaintiff was the then plaintiff and the defendant was the heir-at-law, who impugned her title. A barrister never took upon himself any liability when he accepted • brief, and judgment would, therefore, be for the defendant, and the rule for a new trial would be discharged. Mr. Kennedy, on behalf of Mrs. Svrinfen, applied for leave to appeal against their lordships judgment. The application wesacoeded to. Judgment accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RI WILLIAM DRAY.-JUDGMtNT. The bankrupt, an agricultural implement manufacturer of Farningham, applied for his certificate some time ago. Judgment was now given. His Honour said the bankrupt had asked for a first class certificate. He had been in business mane years as a manu facturer of agricultural implement., and had omupied a large farm. He had become interested in some patents for extracting alcohol from beet root. The price of alcohol fell; he got into difficulties, and was obliged to call together his cre ditors. At that meeting his liabilities were stated at 65,0001., with asset. likely to yield • good dividend. The bankrupt undertook to pay Bs. 6d. in the pottoil by four in stalments. A committee of inve.digation was appointed a second meeting was held ; the opinion was expressed that Mr. Dray was a man of the strictest honour and inte grity ;and the offer of 8.. Cd. in the pound was unanimously accepted, all the creditors being anxious carefully to avoid the Court of Bankruptcy. The result was that those cre ditors who were not present were at liberty to make the best terms they could with the bankrupt; other creditors con trived to get more amongst them Mr. R. Taylor, one of the committee men, w ho got from the bankrupt a promissory note for 2,0001. ; and Mr. Robert Handy, who al,c gut payment of his debt in full. These proceedings threw Mr. ]hay into difficulties, and he presented his petition for arrangement, and was ultimately made bankrupt. Everyone's sympathies must be with a man in such a position ; the only blame attaching to him was for having too easily yielded to the pressure of certain creditors. As the court 'believed him to be • perfectly honest and uptight man, he would have • certificate of the first class. ___ . . - _ Mr. Linklater gave an explanation of the circumstances under which Mr. Taylor had taken the proruissory note for 2,000/. He had made an advance of that amount to the bankrupt under very peculiar circumstances. It was to remain with Mr. Dray for three years, during which period Mr. Taylor was to receive instructions from Dray in his business. When the creditors were called to. gether, and the composition of Bs. tid. in the pound accepted, Mr. Taylor applied for his promissory notes, the same as the other creditors ; but Mr. Dray refused, saying he wished to hold Mr. Taylor to the bargain of allowing the 2,000/. to re main for three years, then to be considered the capital of his son. Mr. Taylor was advised that Mr. Dray had a right to insist upon this ; he therefore took a promissory note for 2,000/., payable at the end of three years ; and so far from having obtained more than the other creditors, be had not got a farthing. His Honour said that after Mr. Taylor had concurred with the other creditors in aoospting Bs. 6d. in the pound, no circumstances would justify him in departing from that ar rangement; but the court bad willingly listened to Mr. Linklater's statement. Mr. Bagley on behalf of the bankrupt asked for a con tinuance of the allowance up to the present time. Mr. Linklater, as representing the assignees, wished the application to stand over, until the conclusion of certain arrangements, which were note pending, as to the pre -11111101 occupied by the bankrupt under Sir Percival Dyke s and which the bankrupt had it in his power to promote. The power of the court to award allowance ceased on the last examination. Mr. Lowrance, on behalf of secured creditors, also wished the question to ;tend over. Mr. A. Turner, for creditors, recommended that Mr. Dray should have something on account. His Honour authorised the payment of 501. on account. • TN RE BARNET.—THZ FAILUREB IN THE S 1101; TRADE. The bankrupt was a shoe manufacturer of Norwich. The failure has resulted from those of Johnson and Gilman and Axtell and Co. This was the sitting for choice of assignees. A preliminary statement of affairs, prepared by Messrs. Paul and Turner. shows liabilities of :1,100/. including accommodation bills for 1,700/. ; asset. about 41:10/. Mr. Winter, shoe manufacturer, of Norwich, was chosen assignee ; Messrs. Sole and Turner are the solicitors under the bankruptcy. IN RE " THE %CLEWS AND LEAMINGTON RAILWAY COMPANY" (Lumen) A winding-up order wax recently made in this case, and this was the day appointed fur the settlement of the lard contributories. Thu is the first instance of a limited rail- WWI cotnpany having been brought before the court. The order was made on the petition of Moons. Wm. Warr and Henry Sidney Warr, stationers, of High Holborn, who are creditors for 1411, and who had made unsuccessful demand of their debt. The company was registered on the sth of October, 1858, its offices being at 34, Euston-square. The proposed capital was 25,0007., in shares of one pound each. The object of the company was stated in the articles of agreement to be—" to purchase or otherwise obtain and acquire surveys, 'section., Vans, and other materials, and information for promoting a railway (for the conveyance of passengers and goods) between the London and North Western Railway at Weldon, to Leamington Priors, in the county of War wick, and for applying for and obtaining as act of iszliaroent to authorise the making of nob railway." The memorandum of a...elation was signed by seven persons, five for fifty shares each, and two for five shares each, They agreed to purchase the plane from Mr. A. G. Roxburgh, of Euston-square. The direc tors were the late Captain Leicester Vernon, M.P.: Mr. D. Ham, of Brompton ; and Mr. Charles Heneage, of Cadogan.phice, Belyraveaquare. Mr. Tapping said that the company had been formed, not to make the railway, but merely to obtain an act of parlia ment for the purpose. The Commissioner—They did not seek to oetatiliah them selves under a special act of parliament, but under the Limited Liabilities Act. Mr. Tapping raid that was so. The company was incor porated, and they had a common seal. Thu three principal promoter. were solicitor residing on the proposed line, Mr. Edward Poole, of Southern ; Mr. Geary, of Daventry ; and Mr. Haynes, of Leamington Priors. The Commissioner-0u what ground do you ask that the order should be made! Mr. Tapping said the order had already been made, on the ground that the company could not lay their debts. The deed contained some singular provisions, amongst others that the directors should receive three guineas a week, and that Mr. Roxburgh, the gentleman who sold the plant to the company, should haven salary of 51,11. a year as secretary. The three gentlemen drove-named were ap pointed local solicitors, and declared entitled, to profes sional charges. Every shareholder of 1/. iu this com pany entitled himself, if he chose, to a oornamonding inte rest in the railway company when funned. Power was reserved to Mr. Roxburgh, and the three solicitors above named, in the event of the shares not being taken up, to take them upon their own account. The public had not been cauglieby the bait held out to them. anal ' 4 4 seven or eight persons had signed the deed. He proposed to fix those persons, as far as he could go.
