GUILDHALL. EA TV iNT2?LLiGERC~'.-(THIW LAY.) Lieut. F. Higginson, of the Royal navy, attended before Mr. Alderman Salomons, to-day, at Guildhall Police-court, and applied for a summons, under the Joint-stock Com panies Act, against the Atlantic Telegraph Company, of 23, Old Broad-street, for not having made a return to the Registrar of Joint-stock Companies containing a list of the shareholders. The solicitor to the company was now present, and said that the clause referred to did not affect the Atlantic Tele graph Company. Lieut. Higginson—l contend that it does. Alderman Salomons—lt is my opinion that this company is excepted from the operations of the act. Lieut. Higginson then proceeded to read from a docu ment which he held in his hand, but was pre vented from proceeding. He then said, when I was here yesterday I was assaulted by one of your officers. I have now to apply for a warrant against that person ; will you grant me one ? Alderman Salomons—No, I will not. Lieutenant Higginson—l was assaulted by an officer of this court as he was carrying out your directions. Will you grant me a summons ? Alderman Salomons—Certainly not ; the officer was only carrying out an order to remove you from court for doing that which you are now repeating, interrupting the business. Lieut. Higginson—l was not. 1 was attempting to get justice. bu A sin ld e e s mr s. an Salomons—l say you were interrupting the Lieut. Higginson—Very well ; that may be your opi nion. I find I can make application for what I require to a higher tribunal. I shall do so. The gallant gentleman then hastily leftthe court accom panied by his friends. COtTRT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE PARKINS-STOCK EXCHANGE DIFFERENCES. This bankrupt was described as an auctioneer and valuer, of Minerva-terrace, New Cross, and Grocers'-hall-court, Poultry. The case was reported a few days since in this journal, on the application for an adjudication, which was made, but an appeal was entered. Yesterday, his honour, Mr. Commissioner Evans, gave judgment on the question as to whether the bankrupt could be deemed a trader within the meaning of the act. He professedly carried on the business of an auctioneer at the above place, in the City, and had a door plate on which he designated himself as an auctioneer, &c., and issued cards to the same effect. It was , h owever , con t en d e d by Mr. Pook, for the bankrupt, that no act of trading had been proved. His Honour considered that when a person put upon his door a plate, and issued business cards, he was a trader, within the meaning of the act, and that in this case there was no pretence for the objection, and refused to stay the advertisement in order to appeal. The case has excited much interest on the Stock Ex change, as the bankrupt, who, although not on 'Change, did a pretty large business in that, and it is alleged took all the " differences " from the memliers of the Stock Ex change, but when the result of his speculations proved ad verse, he refused to pay those due from himself. The adjudication was, therefore, confirmed, and will, in ordinary course, appear in the Gazette of this evening. BOW-STREET. ROBBING A CLERGYMAN.—A lad about 15 years of age, named John Money, was placed at the bar, charged with picking the pocket of the Rev. John H. Burgess, curate of Beddington, Oxfordshire. _ _ CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Jones.) The rev. gentleman said—Last evening I was passing along Holborn, when a person touched me on the shoulder and informed me I had had my pocket picked by the lad he had then hold of. I felt in my coat pocket, and found I had lost a small Parian jug which I had purchased at the Crystal Palace. Just after this another person gave me the jug, which the prisoner had thrown away. (The pro secutor here produced a very beautiful Parian china jug, a bit of which had been broken off when it was thrown to the ground.) ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE HIGH BAILIFF.-DECISION. Mr. Ives waited upon his Honour, and applied to be in formed if he would appoint any day for an inquiry into the conduct of the high bailiff. The high bailiff must have had notice of the proceedings, and the affidavits hav ing been filed on Monday there had been ample time con sumed in the matter. George Taylor—l am a working plumber—Last evening I saw the prosecutor and a lady walking along High Hol born, when I perceived the boy lift up the gentle man's coat and put his hand into the pocket. The robbery was effected in a remarkably clever manner. After the boy had got the jug into his possession, he put it under his jacket, and turned to cross the road, but I de tained him, and told the gentleman of the circumstance. During this time the boy managed — to jerk the jug from under his coat, and it was broken by the fall. Police-constable E, 159—1 took the prisoner into custody —he at first denied the robbery, but when I told him it was no use doing so, as he had been seen to pick the gen tleman's pocket, he said he had been " put up to" it by some other boys, and he hoped the gentleman would let him off. Prisoner had given his right address, but I think if I had time I could find something out against him, as I fancy I have had him in custody before. Mr: Henry—What have you to say to'the charge ? Prisoner—l did it, your worship ; but I'm very sorry. I hope you'll look it over. His Honour said he would hear the subject now. Mr. Ives—l have no witnesses, and my profeisional ad viser is absent. His Honour—l cannot help that. I have carefully gone through the affidavits, and have written to the high bailiff upon the subject, and I have his answer, which is perfectly satisfactory. Mr. Henry—lndeed I will not. I shall remand you for a week, in order to allow the officer to make some inquiry about you. As the depositions of the prosecutor and Tay lor had been signed, they need not attend again. ASSAULTING A RELIVING OFFICER. —Andrew Taylor, aged 18, was charged with assaulting the relieving officer of the Strand Union. Mr. Ives—l should naturally expect it would be so. His Honour—l find that a levy was made on the 12th July, and paid out immediately. On the 13th Mr. Ives calls for the money and finds there is no return. He calls three or four times, and then issues a summons against the high bailiff. A day afterwards he receives information that the money is paid in, and he draws it out and with draws his summons, and now begs for an inquiry. Upon private application to the high bailiff, I find that the bailiff who made the levy and collected the money received the latter on the 12th July (Monday), and, in the ordinary course, would have paid it in on the following day; but he had important business to transact, and so he did not pay it in till the following Wednesday. Mr. Ives—And so I am to suffer because your bailiff goes out of the ordinary course, and keeps my money for nearly eight days. Mr. Ruthven, of the Strand Union, said last right the prisoner came into the office and asked me to give him an order for a night's lodging, which I refused. He said I might refuse as much as I liked, but he would not go away without one . After trying for some time to persuade him to leave the place, I, in the presence of the officer, took hold of him for the purpose of putting him out, when he struck me a violent blow on the mouth. Mr. Henry—ls this not the same boy we sent into the union a few days ago ? Ruthven—Yes, your worship. He has been in the workhouse also, but was discharged two or three days ago by order of the board. Mr. Henry—Why - did you strike the officer ? He was only acting according to the orders he had received in re fusing your request. His Honour (smiling)—Your matter is but a drop in the ocean, and it would be a hard thing for me to exert a power I undoubtedly possess, and fine the bailiff for an assumed fault which is beyond his control. When I see the number of summonses issued, and the very small pro portion marked not served, I am astonished at the manner in which the business is got through in the bailiff's office. Mr. Ives—As I suppose the bailiff and his assistants are paid out of the fees of the suitors, there is no very great need for astonishment, because they perform that duty for which they were specially engaged. His Honour—l do not see any ground for having a fur ther inquiry. Mr. Ives—Then I will only say that it is extremely hard, and the result of an arbitrary power. You admit yourself that in the ordinary course of business my money should have been paid in on the 13th. What have I to do with your bailiff's important business, and if, by departing from the ordinary course, he injures me, he should also depart from it to benefit me, and not, as a mat ter of routine, hold my money for another week. I was told when I applied on the 19th that there was no return, and when I said my landlord would distrain the next day, a bailiff said, " Oh, we've nothing to do with your troubles." His Honour—That is denied. Mr. Ivcs—Of course. lam only surprised so much has been admitted. His Honour—You withdraw your summons against the bailiff. I will not say what is my opinion of the wisdom of that course. Prisoner—He assaulted me first. I went into the Union office last night to ask for a night's lodging. It was re fused, and I was told to go and sleep upon the stairs of the house in which my father was living. I told him if I did that I should be taken into custody. In a short time after I refused to, leave the office, and they took hold of me by the collar and commenced turning me out. I thought I had a right to a night's lodging. Mr. Henry—Did you not lose your last situation through being saucy ? _ _ _ Mr. Ives—l see now how wise it was, and how foolish is the present; and, begging your honour's forgiveness for trespassing on your valuable time, I will withdraw, and only hope my case will be a caution to all those who seek redress against the party in power. Prisoner—Since I left my last situation I have been jobbing about the markets, for want of something better to do. Yesterday I walked about all day, and only ea pied a penny. I had no place to sleep. What was Itodo P Mr. Henry—You had no right to strike the , officer of the Union. He was only carrying out the orders of his supe riors, and they, thinking you were not a deserving person, had given him directions accordingly. I fine you 205., or ten days' imprlsonmant, for the assault. The applicant then withdrew, to the evident satisfaction of the official. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. MARLBOROTJGH-STREET. SINGLTLAR CASE-POT-STEALING AND COINING.-Wm. Shevers, alias Dale, and Mary Ann Shevers, were charged as follows : Mr. William Henry Roberts, of the Rose and Crown, Warwick-street, Regent-street, said that he had lost several pots lately, and that one day last week, after the prisoners had left his house, his barman told him they had taken a pot. He told him, if they came again, to watch them. Last night they came again, and after they left his barmaid told him they had taken a pot. He went after them, and coming up with the woman, taxed her with it, and she admitted sh 9 had. The fact was, these people were in the habit of steal ing pots and returning them in the shape of counterfeit coin. Mr. Webb, inspector of the C division, said she was con victed on the 22d of June and the 22d of August for pot stealing. In answer to the charge, the woman said she had done it for the purpose of getting into trouble. She had been at the court once before for throwing herself into the Serpen tine. She had ruined her husband through drink. She went last night to see her husband, and told him if he would not give her money she would either drown herself or do something wrong. Her husband was quite innocent, and was a hard-working man, but she had pawned all the things and ruined him. The male prisoner was discharged, and the female re manded. THAMES. A FINISH TO ONE DAY'S ADVENTURE.—Thos. Smith, a man about 25 years of age, whose features could scarcely be recognised, owing to the mud and dirt on his face, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting William Gaylor, a police-con stable, 153 K. , The prisoner, a seaman, was paid off yesterday morning, and received a balance of £l9 for his services on board ship on a voyage to the West Indies and back. He started off on a cruise, and met with some loose women and other land sharks, ever ready to prey , upon sailors—got drunk, lost, or was robbed of all his money, and at two o'clock this morning was found by Gaylor, a policeman, leaning against the shutters of a house in Ratcliff highway. The constable raised his head, and asked him his business. The prisoner, who was very much inebriated, and not in his right senses, said he cared for no policeman, and that 50 constables should not convey him to the station. He then made a rush at Gaylor, and threw him on the ground, and when the complainant got upon his feet again the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the breast. He was then conveyed to the station-house. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner scarcely appeared sober yet, and asked if there was blood incrusted on his face ? Mr. Weddle, the second usher of the court, said there was mud on the prisoner's face, and that he had been roll ing about the streets, and was in a shocking state of filth. Mr. Selfe thought it was best to send the prisoner to the House of Correction to make him clean again. He com mitted him for 7 days. . We are glad to learn that Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest has recovered from his late indisposition. His lordship and Earl Vane have left London for Machynlleth, North Wales.

The supply of English wheat on sale in our market, to day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate. Selected samples `sold at Monday's currency ; but low and damp qualities were very dull, at late rates. Although only 1,760 quarters of foreign wheat have come in this week, no disposition was shown to operate. Im porters, however, were tolerably firm in their demands, and prices were supported. Floating cargoes of gra;n were steady, on former terms. The show of both English and foreign barley was only moderate, and most kinds sold at full quotations. Malt realised previous rates, with a fair inqv'ly. We had a good demand for oats—the supply of which was much less extensive than of late—on former terms. - Beans, peas, and flour commanded Monday's currency. ARRIVALS TRIS WEER. Wheat. Barley Malt.

The following is extracted from a letter dated Melbourne, Aug. 16 : " The European, with the June mail, arrived at the Heads on Thursday night, the 12th inst., and some of her letters were delivered on the following evening. The Victoria, with the May mail, did, not arrive until the Ist of August, and her letters were delivered on the 2d of August. The Kent— a good ship, with a sma'rt captain—came up on the Friday, and gave a better batch of news than had then been received by the mail. The Lincolnshire, you will remember, had before delivered the latest news, in spite of steam, navigated on a more direct line. Let it be remembered that, although these colonies pay largely, it is the Government at home which manages this mail contract. Some time since, when the Government, speaking through its then Postmaster-General, Mitchell, ventured a re monstrance, and added a mere opini on th a t th e Legislature might take it into its head (if the pos session of a head can logically be predicated of a Legislature) to put an end to the contract, the then Secretary of State,—l forget whether it was Mr. Labouchere or Lord Stanley—read us a homily on the morality or rather immorality of repudiation. This was a piece of pure official quietism—' Disturb not the existing order ofthings. But what if we do kick at the way in which this mail serN ice has been. performed ? Is that repudiation ? I say the con tract has been broken over and over again by the company, and it was only because we could not help ourselves, because we could not do better, that we have continued to submit to monthly disappoint ments, Legally, equitably, morally, we have long been entitled to say, You have failed to perform your part of the contract, we will keep our part no longer.' The whole management has been literally starved from the beginning. The company com menced first with two, then with one steamer short; their steamers were of too little power ; from these two circumstances they made one steamer go from Sydney to Suez, by which they got foul, without any means of clearing for the voyage out to Mel bourne. If they had had a change at Point de Galle this would not have arisen. The inconve nience and day's delay of a change of conveyance would have been amply compensated by the in creased facility for the voyage. It is said the com pany has lost £200,000, and no doubt every share holder will say, It can't pay.' This has been said over and over again of every kind of enter prise. A ruined theatre has, Phoenix-like, risen from its metaphorical ashes, under the new broom of a new manager. I have known men of energy who have made fortunes by taking up losing con cerns.' I feel very certain that this mail service, with the handsome sum now contributed, might be made to pay, and I think Cunard's line or the Peninsular and Oriental Company could do it. But here, I think, there is some prejudice against the latter, owing to an impression that they are dis posed rather to sacrifice Australia to India. But I scarcely see my fair ground for such suspicion. They have the semi-monthly mail from Calcutta, touching at Point de Galle. All that remains to give to Australia a semi-monthly mail is to have a few powerful but not very large steamers between Sydney and Melbourne and Point de Galle. This was the plan in 1852 with the Chusan and For mosa. It would certainly cost less than the pre sent system, and the only inconvenience was, that when the ships from Australia got to Point de Galle, the Australian passengers found the best cabins taken up by passengers from India. This might be avoided by more accommodation and reserved cabins. BANK RETURNS. BANK OF An Account, pursuant to 1 cap. 32, for the week ending of October, 1858: I6BUE DEI Notes issued ......
