His Honour said this was an application for certificate. It was opposed on the grounds that the bankrupt did not keep good accounts; that he bought goods when he knew he was insolvent ; and that he was insolvent at the time he purchased goods of a person named Ridley. Bankrupt ap peared to have kept his accounts very badly, but he (his Honour) did not think there was sufficient evidence that he stated he was solvent When he contracted the debt with Ridley, nor was there sufficient evidence to satisfy him that the bankrupt knew that he was insolvent. On the whole, therefore, he thought that the bankrupt might have a second-class certificate after an adjournment of six months from the date of the last examination. RE DILLON-THE LYCEUM TREATRE. This was an application for certificate on behalf Mr. C. J. Dillon, late lessee of the Lyceum Theatre. The accounts by Messrs. Butler and Cannings have already been published. _ _ Mr. Bayley said that, with the consent of the assignees, he had to ask for a first-class ceiVlA*;;. The bankruptcy arose from an unfortunate speat in the Lyceum Theatre in 1856. The bankrupt hed laid out a large sum of money in contemplation of b'enceessful season, when most unexpectedly Her Majesty's Theatre was opened at reduced prices for the same class of performances. The speculation in consequence failed, the people flocking to the larger theatre—the receipts falling from £lOO to £3O a night, and that which was expected to be a profitable season ended in a loss. It might be inferred from the balance sheet that at the time it commenced, September, 1856, that the bankrupt had entered into speculation when he was not free from debt. The fact was that some years ago —Mr. Dillon's being a very precarious profession—he was compelled to petition under the Protection Act; and a por tion of the debts had been paid off, and the remainder formed the deficiency. He had paid £5O a-year in liquida tion of the old debts. The principal creditor was a gentle man who had lent the bankrupt £2,000, for the precise purposes of the speculation. Another pecu liarity in the present case was that the bankrupt was required to deposit with the landlord of the theatre, Mr. Arnold, a sum of money amounting to above £l,OOO, as security for the due performance of the covenants of the lease, and upon the failure of the speculation that money became forfeited. No creditor comes forward to complain, and he (Mr. Bayley) therefore trusted the Court would grant a first-class certificate. His Honour—Nothing would induce me to do that. Mr. Brooke, for the assignees, was sorry to see the loss of £2,460 by the speculation, and would, therefore, consent to the application. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the second class. IN RE PARKINS. This was a judgment on a disputed adjudication in Bankruptcy, and was fully reported a few days since. The bankrupt was an auctioneer in the City, but Mr. Pook, from the office of Mr. Riches, Coleman-street, contended there was no proof of trading. His Honour considered the case had been fully made out, and confirmed the adjudication. THIS DA FS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

THE SUN, LONDON, TB URSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1858. MR. .110.P.LEY ON THE LONG•HOUR SYSTEM After showing (in his second lecture on bodily exercise) how spinal curvature and various other diseases are induced by insufficient exercise among the inmates of ladies' schools, Mr. Hopley continues as follows : " A few words more. We have been contem plating some of the many errors which exist in the training of the higher classes of society ; and grievous, indeed, they seem, both in their commis sion and in their effects. But shall we forget, while thinking of our own families, the far more grievous errors which exist among the poor ? Look again to the working-rooms of the imprisoned needle women, and see there kept up for 16, 18, 20 hours a-day, the same positions that have curved your daughters', spines and ruined their constitutions. Are not these daughters of England too ? and are we to improve systems for ourselves alone, while diseases are invited to attack the poor ? Look again to the little children of the manufactories, silent and sad at their various occupations—' running ' their lace, or drawing ' their threads, or heading their rAns—and know that such is their employ ment for 10, 14, 16 hours together. It is well to be anxious that in our own growing families every law of health may be carefully observed ; but should these continue to be treated as they are ? I ask you not now to consider the condition of adult male operatives, with whose ways of labour some might argue we have no right to interfere, but I am anxious to impress upon your minds the condition of hun dreds of thousands of helpless women and children in our country, who are forced to undergo pain and suf 'firing, who are forced to sacrifice health, happiness —nay, many years of life itself, in striving for the .means of living. "To those among you who have not looked into such matters, it must: appear incredible that some of these children are set to work as early as five and even four years old ; that for years from their period of commencement, or , until their little lives are too far withered to beiirriitther service; they• are never in, bed before ten, and more frequently later ;' that it is common for little girls of six and seven 3 , 2,-ars old, but whose stunted growth makes them appear much younger, to be occupied in small close rooms from ten to twelve hours a day 'kexclusive of meals), during which period they are neither allowed to move nor speak ; that children of nine, eight, seven years old, girls as well as boys, are, as a usual thing,' made to work for sixteen and even eighteen hours without intermission ; ' that children frequently faint at their work,' and more frequently sleep at their work,' and are shaken and beaten in order to be kept awake. To those who have not looked into these grave matters, it must be difficult to believe that it is common for many among our female slaves to have no rest for 20, 30, 40 hours together ; that it is a very common thing for them to ply the needle the 24 hours through, two or three times a week ; that it - is not uncommon for them to pass three or four consecu tive days and nights without even taking off their clothes ' • that they are frequently com pelled to work themselves blind—to work them selves almost dead; that instances have been brought to light where labour has been protracted for seven, eight, and even 'nine days and nights consecutively,' without any change of dress, - without any regular period allotted to repose, without so much as time allowed for meals. I feel that I am speaking of facts which must appear to many incredible ; * but what will , you say—what must you think of our Chris tian country—when you are told that all these things have been known in the highest quarters — have been known to Government, to Parliament, to the heads of our Church, to all who are or should be the leading men of our nation, for upwards of fifteen years, and no steps whatever have been taken by our legislators to crush this crying sin ? What must you thi n k w h en you are told that the leading men of our nation are perfectly aware that tens of thousands of our women and little children are being annually killed through over-toil, and yet they let these things continue ? What must you think when you are told that as long ago as 1841, a Commission of Inquiry was formed to investigate these matters_? that the Commission brollabt to light not only such facts as we are now considering, but many far more fearful facts than these ? that they were formed into blue-books, and put before the Government, and members of both Houses ? that by many they were totally disregarded—by others taken up, perused, laid down again —and there an end ! The evils could not be abolished— there were difficulties in the way And for what, I would ask, are distinguished men raised to distinguished posts of honour if .it be not to cope with difficulties ? There were difficulties in the way !' And so thousands of the Queen's subjects are every year to perish miserably, and thousands more to grow up dwarfed and deformed, and so, by natural- law, become the - parents of — ti dwarfed and deformed progeny—and why ? Not because it is impossible to root out the shameful wrong—not because the whole legislative body have strained every energy to find remedial mea sures, and strained in vain—but because there are difficulties in the way !' And can we wonder that the world is so diseased ? wonder that plagues afflict our people ? wonder that upwards fifty of thousand human beings are annually perishing in England from consumption alone ? Shame on all Governments that have not the moral courage to be just. My friends, I speak not as a party man : I address you as a simple lecturer on education. The true educationist is the bigot of no political party —of no class section. He never advocates the in terests of the poor against the rich, nor of the rich against the poor—of the employed against the employer, nor of the employer against the employed. His fight is against cold-heartedness, wherever it exists. His struggle is against the selfishness of the world. His arguments are against the folly of those who, to their own detriment, will regard themselves more than they regard their neighbours. He casts his eyes around, and wherever he beholds any infringement of the Creator's laws—those laws which are ordained to regulate the conduct of the human family—whether the infringement be the deed of the wealthy or of the indigent, of the many or of the few—whether it affect the mental coneaution by acting on the body, or the bodily constitution by acting on the mind—he knows that such infringement must lessen human happi ness ; and he feels it his duty to lift up his voice and say, These things are contrary to the laws of God. And all the infringements of nature's laws which we have been contemplating in this and former lectures—whether observable in schools and private families, or in the working-rooms of such employers as love their gold more than their fel low -creatures—all are infringements of the laws of God. And all of you who will receive these truths, and will help to spread abroad these truths, will be expediting human progress ; will be augmenting the general happiness of the world ; will be employed in working out God's will. There is not one here present, however humble he may be, but is gifted with this mighty privilege. In your own families, in your own circles, you may do much ; in the schools to which those among you who are parents have been accustomed to instruct your children, you may do much ; with all who have anything whatever to do with the training of any who are near and dear to you, you may do much ; for to such it is your right, it is your duty, to express your sentiments ; and thus may you effect much good. Nor is this all. There is not one of us but has it in his power to improve the condition of the over-toiling, ill-paid poor—not one but has it in his power to aid in the extermination of the giant wrongs which everywhere encompass them; for though no good results may seem to spring directly from the expression of our senti ments, still, believe me, it is utterly impossible to constantly speak truth , and not do good. Every fresh voice raised against an error tends to en lighten the world's mental darkness ; and at the dawn of every new-acknowledged truth, a whole some public opinion ever rises. Public opinion, Heaven be praised, is already dawning on the mat ters which we have been contemplating ; but be it remembered that every one here present rising resent of hast power to facilitate its rising, and th pub lic opinion—even though it should not cause em ployers to be just through a sense of shame, or make it palpabie to their senses that it itstos useful their interest to be,so---will be sure to effect this of the ti at length obj which ct ; dim i t willh the eyes disperseef legislators, hardthe y shall te doj discover usiee that tto t i a l f e t after poor." — The h tms Third d very v Hopley's Series on time Education of D i an. * Mr. ilopley's statistics of " Wrongs which Cry for Re dress" prove, beyond a doubt, the truth of his assertions, —ED. SHIPPING CASUALTIES. —The gale with which the eastern coast was visited at the close of last week did not spend itself till Sunday night, and two other casualties occurred off Lowestoft. The schooner Sunshine, Tunell master, from Totness for Sund erland, with timber, struck on the Newcome Sand and became a complete wreck. All hands and the captain's wife took to the boat, but they had only one broken oar to force it through the heavy sea.

Bodily Exercise. By Thomas Hopley, F.S.S. Holliston and Wright. This is the third of a series of lectures on the education of man, written in a plain and practical style, intended for general reading, and aiming at placing in a new and striking light some of those great physical and physiological laws which bring such severe suffering on those who disregard them. A few of his " prefatory words" are sufficient to speak for themselves : "Upwards of one hundred thousand human beings are annually perishing in England from preventable diseases. "In Scotland and Ireland the preventable mortality is comparatively even greater than in England. " Upwards of thirty per cent. of all the men, and upwards of forty-three per cent. of all the women, who marry in England, sign the marriage-register with a mark. "In Scotland and Ireland the people are not less igno rant than in England. "Throughout the length and breadth of the land crime prevails." Allowing for a little extravagance of style, the lecture is plain and straightforward, Within the comprehension of all readers. It forms one of a series intended for popular instruction, which treat of the most important of the natural laws. The one before us insists on the importance of muscular exercise, and especially laments the injudicious management of the young, in schools more particu larly : - • " And now to reflect upon the general routine of what are termed fashionable boarding-schools for yOung ladies. I allude more particularly to the schools of London and other large towns ; though even in our smaller towns, where for the most part beautiful country invites from every side to healthful and elevating recreations, schools for females are rarely more philosophically conducted than if the heads possessed not their golden opportunities. In these esta blishments, then, studies of some kind or other are generally progressing for about an hour before breakfast. The pupils occupied with their various tasks are during that period either quietly sitting or quietly standing. In other words, the muscles of the spine, &c., are, as we have seen, in a state of contraction, engaged in supporting a very heavy weight. A slight bend forward now and then, an inclina tion to the right or left, or any alteration of • the posture of the back, would be very grateful to the system : fresh muscles would be brought into activity, while ethers would find repose. But young ladies 'must sit or stand upright, and must not fidget;' and so their tired muscles must con ' thilteini — &qtr. — New. eoutea._ breakfast, during which the condition of the back remains the same : the same muscles are still taxed to keep up the same position. After breakfast there is perhaps half an hour's relaxation, when studies recommence, and the wearied muscles of the spine are again summoned to exertion. The upright posi tion must be maintained till noon or one o'clock. Then comes the formal, spiritless walk, during which an erect carriage is to be practised, and the arms are not to be swung. Thus these poor, unfortunate muscles, already over-fatigued by supporting, their heavy burden so many hours, have still to continue in their unnaturally contracted condition —are, in fact, altogether deprived of that real and proper exercise shown to be so requisite for their invigora tion—while muscular activity is almost entirely confined to the lower limbs. Dinner follows, and with it a repetition of the postures of breakfast : the same muscles are still taxed. The afternoon is a repetition of the muscular exertions of the morning. Tea-time is another period of toil, which is generally followed by another hour of upright study. Then comes the interval allotted to repose ; and during slumber these wearied muscles remain in a state of comparative re laxation. With the dawn of morning, wearied and weak ened as they are from the treatment of the preceding day, they are excited to a renewal of the routine." At the conclusion of the lecture is inserted a paper, entitled " 'Wrongs which Cry for Redress," which forcibly exposes the evils and injustice from which the working classes suffer. The cruelty which keeps the dressmakers' apprentices at work for eighteen hours at a time has often excited public indignation, and the details quoted from the Parliamentary evidence are fright ful. It would seem that this evil will never be effectually dealt with while dressmakers are allowed to have apprentices. These establish ments are not alone in their unjustifiable demands upon their workpeople. Some of the evidence from the bleaching and dyeing establishments is equally startling. The picture of the poor little chil dren, under ten years of age, toiling at the injurious employments of lace running and drawing, or " dipping" in the earthenware manufactories, is very distressing. The long • hOurs are the great evil everywhere. The following extract, from the evidence of workers at- bleaching and finishing works for cotton and woollens, speaks for itself : " I have scores of times seen both men and children asleep at their work, and very dangerous work too" (No. 10). " Very often they go to sleep over their work" (No. 51). "I haw. 1,9,1 to take a board and beat it on the iabie to waken them, as they were slumbering at their work. At that time they would be hooking cloth ; and while they should be doing it I see them nodding and trying to catch the hook" (No. 83).—" As to the older ones, I have often and often seen them down asleep, not being able to hold up for their work. If the manager had gone out, they would drop down in a minute in the packing boxes and go 4o sleep" (No. 68).—" We have often gone to sleep on the tables, or with our heads on the wet cloth, or anywhere where we could sit still" (No. 378).—" The little ones very often fall asleep standing to their work. They fall asleep standing before their hooks. I have to keep them awake ; and my heart is so sore for them that I cannot speak to them. I have worked at bleach-works, in the finishing-room, twenty years, and it has always been so in all the works where I have been" (No. 462).—" It falls very hard upon the weaker boys. I have often seen them sleeping on their legs, and I have done so often myself. Their whole frame suffers. I have known at least eight in the last twelve years who have fallen into consumption and died." (No. 414). " This retiring from work to die is of course very common : " I have buried one little sister my parents always thought it was from the long hours. She came here at ten, and was fourteen when she died, and she used to work very long hours. She was ill" (that is, off work before she died) "ten days only" (No. 223).—"1 have often been ill from working- in the great heat. My leg is now bad from it, and the doctor told me I must give up. The girls .very often suffer from it; go away and die from it and the long hours" (No. 646). Ten consecutive witnesses (pp. 42-44) employed at different establishments, mention "many cases within their know ledge, of boys and young men having been ill and off work, and who have died from the long. hours" No. 422). But perhaps there is nothing in this report more touching than the patient and almost despairing anxiety shown among the operatives for a protecting law : "We are all most anxiously looking for the bill" (No 420).—t' Is there any sign of a ten-hours bill being gotten" (No. 213) ?—" Is there any chance for the bill being passed this session" (No. 240) ?—" I feel very tired many times, but I dare not stop. I would like the short-time bill" (No. 211).—" I know that all in this room are very anxious for the short-time bill" (No. 221).—" Every girl in the room would like a short-time bill, though they would earn less wages" (No. 276).—" I should like the short-time bill very much" (No. 278).—" I have talked to them many a time about the hours being shortened like the factories. They wish that time would come" (No. 462).—" We have long been waiting for the short hours" (No. 494).—" We all very much want the short-time bill" (No. 495).—" They all wished for the short-time bill very much" (No. 509). — "The short-time bill will do us all good" (No. 543.)—" I have seen the girls, when they have been taking a piece from the pulling-up machine, fall asleep : one of them was not ten years of age. The child looked as pale as a piece of the cloth. I have seen men take this child in their arms and say they wished they could see it in London in this state - that is, so livid and wan from the work. I menu that if they could see such things in London, they would know that there was a want of a bill" (No. 68). It is mortifying to find, after reading the evidence given 'by so ninny different labourers, foremen, doctors, &e., that the Parliamentary committee arrived at the conclusion, that " the labour of women and children in bleaching, dyeing, finishing : making up and packing work, should not be restricted by legislative enactment." It is still more so to find, after reading the subjoined evidence given before a Select Committee of the House of Lords in 1855, that Lord Shaftesbury states in the - following year the state of things was made worse owing to the failure of the attempt to restrain them:— MISS SARAH COULSTON, EXAMINER:--• [This witness had worked in two establishments with Mrs. Elizabeth Bartrup, and of course could attest the same facts regarding those establisments as were attested by Mrs. Bartrup.] Earl of Shaftesbury—With respect to the establishment in which you worked without Mrs.• Bartrup, what was the number of hours you were employed ?—I was worked there from six in the morning till twelve at night. Lord Elgin—Habituallyl—Yes ; all through the season. For how many months was the season I—l was only there four months myself ; I would not remain any longer. During the whole of that time you worked from six in the morning till twelve at night /—Yes, sometimes later ; but those hours were the shortest that I ever worked. Lord Privy Seal—What was the average age of the young persons that worked. there I—From 14 to 27. Were there many as young as 14 I—There were two about 14 and 15. Were they worked the same hours as their elder com panions I—Yes. Earl of Shaftesbury—Did you observe the effect of this work upon their health and strength ?—Yes, upon_ left to one of them ; I have seen them sit and faint, d come-to as they liked, or as they could , and no notice an taken of them. Earl of Malmesbury—What time did they give you, for your meals in that establishment I Sometimes ten minutes. We used to brea kfast at seven, and we dined about two • we had nothing between those hours. You had' only ten minutes fin. dinner?—There was no stated time ; but that was about the average time that w e were allowed. e t v h e e n i f same we Lord Bruce—When yo u worked thos e very long hours, did you get any rest the day followinge yuNp at o; did not go to bed till five o'clock, we g hour. Lord Privy Seal—From what you know of the present condition of the trade, would you sa y that themajority of the establishments are adopting the long-hoursysteni?— I think they are. You think that it is as bad now as it ever has been ?—I think it is. Lord President—Have you ever observed any cruelty exercised towardis these young ladies beyond keeping them at work so many hours ?---Yes, I witnessed one very cruel action ; Miss Newton wished that I would complain of it at the time, but I did not, One of the young ladies was very ill indeed, and yet she was obliged to work at the business until after twelve at night ; and when the doctor was sent for to her, he said she ought to have been in bed weeks ago, and that she had been in a very bad state of health ; she had sat and cried over her work every day a long time before the doctor was sent for; she died a week after she had advice ; 'she was worked till the very last morneni she could sit up. Lord Privy Seal—But they did not work her after the doctor had pronounced her unfit to work I—No, she was obliged to go to bed; and she never got up again. The plain and succinct classification of these start ling facts reflects great credit on Mr. Hopley. We heartily commend the good sense and straightfor- wardness of his lectures, which, we trust, will be as widely circulated as they deserve. Two Hearts : a Talc. Edited by Mrs. Grey, authol• of " Cousin Harry," &c. Hurst and Blackett. This is a very peculiar work. The author evi dently possesses great power of description, and in some passages there is an earnestness that attracts ; but the general impression conveyed by its perusal is not an agreeable one. There is too much senti mentality pervading its tone, to the exclusion of real feeling. Had Aimee Eden been truly attached to De Walden, and conducted herself in a straight forward manner, things would have been very diffe rent. It seems impossible to sympathise with sorrows so wilfully occasioned, and the right judging will feel indignant with one who took upon herself a false position, and occasioned suffer ing to many from want of proper courage. Her ideas were obscured by her habit of looking at life through a false medium, and she is certainly a warning to all persons similarly mystified to rouse themselves from the dangerous delusion. .Armine De Walden • himself is more deserving of notice, although he is rather exaggerated and unreal in his conduct. The self-control which he exercised in the painful position in which he was placed, after the marriage of Aimee to Colonel Dartmouth, is very creditable to him, and, under happier aus pices, he might have become an ornament to society. Colonel Dartmouth is a relief in his manly straightforwardness and independence, after the morbid characters which have engaged the reader's attention. Mr. and • Mrs. Dc Walden, the parents of Armine, are charming sketches—the picture drawn of their quaint simplicity and old-world life is a redeeming passage in the work, and one whic h the eye delights to contemplate. There is ample evidence of talent throughout this story, and there•- fore the author has a chance of succeeding better in the future, by avoiding the extravagancies of the present work. _ • The Settler's Guide to. the Cape of.;Good Hope and Colony of:Natal. By W. Irons, Stanford. This is another of those usefUl - little volumes, addressed more especially to intending emgirants, which give a succinct de ,cription of a colony, its . chief pecularities of soil,_climate, &c., the principal sources of wealth, the openings for settlers, and all similar information. It must be an invaluable assistant to the emigrant, who thus becomes ac quainted with his new home, and learns what trade he had better adopt. It will also enable those who are undecided to consider whether there is an opening for their particular calling, whether the climate, population, &c., is such as they have been led to suppose. The gentleman who has com piled these statistics, from authentic sources, is the Secretary to the Cape Town Mechanics' Institution, and is therefore well qualified to judge. He freely states what trades and what classes had better not come out. One of Mr. Stanford's admirable maps is prefixed to the work. The Court Journal Register for 1858. Mitchell. This work is issued by the proprietors of the Court Journal, and presents to the fashionable world a register of the presentations and attend ances at Court during the season, thus giving a lasting record of what otherwise appears to the uninitiated a somewhat evanescent glory. The more generally useful portion of theiwork is the full and complete list of all official personages, from the Members of the Cabinet to the Yeomen of the Guard. An historical account of the various offices of the Royal household will be interesting to the curious, and the work is likely to be useful as a reference, to those connected with the political and fashionable world.
