We have received a fair average quantity of English Wheat, coastwise as well as by land carriage, for our market this week, and the stands to day were well supplied with samples, many of which were left over from Monday. The attendance of buyers being small, the demand was in a very inactive state, at the late decline in value. In fine Foreign Wheats next to nothing was doing, yet the quotations were mostly supported. Corn, under lock, was a mere drug, and almost nominal in value • for export nothing was doing. Malting Barley was in moderate request, at lull prices. In other kinds next to nothing was passing. The Malt trade was very dull, and lower rates are pretty generally expected. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Floar were heavy, and the turn lower. Rouen and Havre 20 Sambre and Meuse Strasburg and Bale l4 — —to St. Laurence and Atlantic....

BANKRUPTCY, -(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) TIIE "IRON TIMES." To-day an audit meeting was held under the estate of the Iron Times newspaper. The business of the day was pro forma, the bankrupts, Messrs. Smith, bolt, and Neale, not having filed their balance-sheet in time to pass their examination. The only property is in the hands of the auctioneer, from the sale of the type, and a dispute exists as to the right of the proceeds. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of Magistrates.) This morning several prisoners were discharged by proclamation. The grand jury having ignored the bills in 18 cases, the remainder being liberated owing to the nonappearance of prosecutors or witnesses. Ann Aked, a very old and infirm woman, was con victed of stealing a drinking glass, the property of William Hart, the proprietor of a public house in John street, St. Luke's. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said the prisoner, in his opinion, was a practised hand, yet, in consideration of her age, he felt inclined to deal leniently with her. She was then sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Ann Bedford, was found guilty of stealing a pewter pot, the property of Daniel Skully, a licensed victualler in Kent-street, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. Mary Anne Ryder was sentenced to six weeks im prisonment, for stealing eighteen yards of printed cotton, the property of Mary Duggan. John Stringer was indicted for stealing 11. 10s., the property of Mary Anne Rawson. It appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutrix lived in the same house, and on last Thursday, the latter left a purse in her room containing the above sum; which she missed soon afterwards, and the purse was found empty in the prisoners room. A. - verdict of Guilty was returned, and the prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Patrick Gray was indicted for stealing half a pound weigh of bacon, the property of Robert Walker Ormston. The constable who took the pri soner i nto custody said upon searching him he found hi m to b e a perfect walking larder. Under his jacket and between his shirt and waistcoat he was completely lined with rashers of bacon, and in one skirt-pocket of his coat h e h ad a p i ece cf beef and some lard, while in the oth er was a quant i ty of tea and coffee, and even his hat was filled with edibles. He also found 20s. in his trowsers pocket. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Christopher Walker, the Waterloo-bridge toll. collector, remanded from Saturday upon a charge of embezzle ment, was again brought before Mr. Henry thi s I morning. Mr. Powell, solicitor to the Waterloo-bridge Company, attended for the prosecution. Mr. May, superintendent ()f the Esse x coun ty consta bulary, said that on the sthinst. the prisoner gave him self up to him (witness) at the Litchfield station, saying that he was a toll-collector to the Waterloo-bridge Company, and had absconded with about 251. of their money. He said that he had been in arrear, and had been obliged to borrow 41. to make up a deficiency, but having to pay the 4/. on Saturday, the 31st October, out of the Company's money, ho was unable to make up his accounts. In this extremity he absconded with what money he had received during the day, and, having been drinking ever since, he hardly knew where he was going or what he was doing. Mr. Bourne, assistant clerk in the Company's office, said that on the 31st ult., the prisoner, having been on duty from one o'clock on the day before, oaght to have accounted for moneys received before two o'clock. lie did not account for them, however, and had not been heard of since. On referring to the check kept at the gate,witness found that 6,280 passengers had gone through during the 24 hours in which the prisoner was on duty. He must have taken from each of them id., making in all 131. ls. Bd. This, together with sums deficient during the week, for which he had sent in I 0 U's, would make up 241. 19s. lod. Mr. HENRY could hear no evidence on that matter, as no sums for which he had sent in I 0 U's could be made the ground of a criminal charge. Ile, by acknowledging that such sums were due, had made them a debt. The prisoner when called on for his defence, said that he had been in arrear all the week, but had sent in I 0 U's, which was very commonly done. On Satur day, however, I 0 U's were not received, but it was necessary to make up the accounts properly. Being unable to do this, he became almost mad, and he did not know what he had done since. He had lost 101., he could not tell how. He believed that the whole sum deficient had b een pa i d by a fr i en d s i n ce he was in custody. Mr. Powell said that that was the case. Mr. HENRY said that it made no difference. It was no answer to the criminal charge to say that since the offence was committed the money had been returned. The prisoner was committed for trial, and he (Mr. Henry) thought the Company ought to prosecute, not withstanding the payment of the money.

John Joel, watchmaker, 28, Great Windmill-street, said he was in the adjoining shop to his own yesterday afternoon, and hearing a cras h a t his window he ran out and saw the glass was broken, the watch-case stolen from the nail, and the defendant running. He pursued him into Peter street, where he overtook him lying on his back in a dark corner. The prisoner immediately said complainant was mistaken; he was not the man, and offered to be searched. Complainant refused to do so himself, and gave him into custody. Police -constable 130 C, said he took the defendant into custody, and on searching him at the station found the case in his shoe. The defendant was committed for trial. Ann Sinnet was charged with stealing a hood and scarf, the property of William France. William France, undertaker, 2, Denmark-street, said he had to furnish out a large funeral in Monmouth-court yesterday, and after the corpse had been lifted on the shoulders of the bearers, as he observed one of the mourners rather tipsy he took away from her a hood and scarf. The prisoner, who was standing among the mourners, offered to look after the articles, and to put them in his bag. When he returned, however, from the funeral the hood and scarf could not be found, and he was told the woman had taken them away. Eliza Middleton heard the prisoner volunteer her ser vices, and saw her, when the funeral moved away, put the hood and scarf under her shawl, and leave.

He however insisted, and with difficulty he was prevented, and removed outside the platform; he, however, managed to net back again, and before there Ives time to prevent it, he threw himself bodily into a compartment of a second-class carriage, and lay at full length along one of the na ys, with his feet in a lady'a THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1846. lap. The passengers called out for the re moval of the drunken intruder, and a second time he was removed. Much trouble and confusion was created on the platform in the effort to save him from accident on the moving of the train. At length it was found necessary, for his own safety, to take him into custody, Defendant—f was intoxicated, and have no recollec tion of what I did, and can only express my regret that I should have acted as repreFented. Mr. SECKER eulogised the conduct of the Railway Company, in not permitting persons in the condition the defendant was described to be from entering their carriages. The defendant was proved to have been guilty of great misconduct, for which he should inflict on him a penalty of 205., and in default of payment commit him for 21 days. THE LAST DYING WORDS AND CONFESSION OF EUGENE ARAM. We (Manchester Guardian) have had a curious printed paper placed in our hands for inspection, being no other than the halfpenny sheet hawked about the streets on the execution of the notorious Eugene Aram. It is en titled, " The last dying words and confession of Eugene Aram, who was executed at Tyburn, near York, on Monday, the 6th day of August, 1759, for the murder of Daniel Clark, of Knaresborough, about the 7th February, 1744." Beneath this heading is an impression from an old and well-worn woodcut engraving, curious as repre senting the mode of hanging at that time. The gallows has only one upright in this form ri, and there does not appear to be any scaffold, and the " Tyburn cart" has apparently done its busi ness, for a man is represented as hanging from a rope, carried over the end of the horizontal arm of the beam, whilst " Jack Ketch" is upon the ladder placed against the upright, or " the gallows tree." Be low are seen the crowd, and mingled with them the " javelin men," with their halberts preventing the crowd from approaching too close. There are rude representa tions of three houses, all the windows filled with faces, as if gazing on the spectacle. Beneath this woodcut is the brief notice of the murderer's•biography—" Eugene Aram, aged 48, was born at Ripon, the son of Peter Aram, who wrote the excellent pderiu on Studley Park." The "last dying words " bear internal el idence of their being fabricated for the purpose of b.ing hawked about the streets. As this document is believed to be unique, we insert a literal copy of the speech or confession put into the mouth of the wretched man:— My Father, who had some loose Thoughts of the Power of Almighty God, which he continued too long, hurt my tender and young Principals in Religion ; thank God I am thoroughly convinced of his Error, and am in Hopes through the Mediation of my blessed Sa viour Jesus :Christ to be saved. I confess the Ju s tn ess of my Sentence, but was not apprehensive say Accom plice would have dealt so perfidiously with me, for I can not help taking Notice to the World (as it does expect I should say something) that he was forsworn upon my Tryal, as I have solemnly declared to a reve rend Divine ; he also was more active in conveying poor Clark away, than myself, likewise in burning his Cloaths, and attempting to persuade me to murder;my poor injured Wife. I hope the Lord will pardon me for the Wrong I have done my dear Wife, whose honest Coun sel I always disdain'd, depending on my own, as 1 thought, superiour Judgment, which I find, but now to o late, hath brought me to this untimely End. I desire Forgiveness of all the World, particularly, my poor, dear, and injured With, and of all others whom I have injured in the Course of my wicked Life, begging their Prayers for my poor departing Soul, and that my Ac complices may take Warning by this my woeful End ; for tho' they are clear'd by Man, they know, before God, they are as guilty as myself. Ido heartily desire they would make Restitution to all those whom we have injured, which is the last Words and sincere Wishes of the unfortunate EUGENE ARAM. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 10. ROBINSON V. WALL. The arguments in this cause were resumed by the Counsel for the defendants, Messrs. Turner, Roupel, and Rogers. They occupied the whole day, and had not concluded at the rising of the Court at three o'clock. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Non. 10. (Before Sir J. WIORAM.) IN RE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. His HONOUR said he considered with respect to the petition in this matter, which had been presented yes terday, that the trustees had sufficient powers, and con sequently that the Court had no right to interfere in the case. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) MORRIS V. MORRIS. Mr. ROGERS, on the part of the defendant, put in an answer to the original motion in this matter. The Learned Counsel stated, that by that answer the defend ant threw himself on the mercy of the Court, setting forth that he was too poor to adopt the necessary steps before. It appeared further that an application had been made to the Court in Ireland, and proceedings understood in that country as writs of eject ment had been executed. The application to the Chan cery Court in Ireland had been unsuccessful, the Court refusing to interfere till after the settlement of the ori ginal motion which was pending before the Court. His HoNotrit, after hearing the arguments, said—With out giving any opinion whatever as to whether the notice of the defendant in this matter was or was not correct, or deciding whether he had made sufficient apology for the delay that he had been guilty of, he nevertheless considered this motion too late. With regard to the original motion he thought it more espe cially belonged to the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and would, therefore, order it to stand over for the present. TAYLOR V. COOPER The object of the plain tiff in this case was to enforce the condition of a will of Wiliam Cooper, who bequeathed to the plaintiff and to William Cooper, the defendant, freehold house property in Fleur-de-lis-court, as well as four leasehold houses situate in Tichbourne-street, upon trust, with directions to pay thejrents accruing to his widow for life. After her death the testator devised the freehold houses to William Cooper absolutely. He also gave the leasehold houses to William Cooper, on condition of his granting a lease of the houses in Tiehbourne-street for the remainder of the testator's interest to George Taylor, at a. rent of 51. per annum. Taylor died in the lifetime of the widow, and his executor claimed the lease, which. was refused, this refusal being justified on the ground that in the will the object of the testator was purely to confer a benefit on Taylor himself, and not his estate. After bearing the arguments, his Hoicoun said, he considered that Mrs. Taylor's executor was fairly en titled to the under lease which she claimed. However he did not think be would be justified in giving costs on either, as the question at issue was one of that nature which might be equitably raised. The Court rose at the usual hour. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THOMAS V. BLACKMAN. The arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Vice• Cha ncellor Knightßruce, were resumed and concluded to-day. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judgment to-morrow morning. BONDS V. SLYMAN. This appeal from the equity side of the Court of Exchequer, during the time of Lord Abinger, occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY) [(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) THE GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY V. DIMES. The further argumc nts in this part-heard case occu pied the Court the whole day. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. IV. mnAm.) CAMPBELL V. THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.- JUDG2IEAT. His HONOUR delivered judgment in this cause to-day. He said, that with reference to some of the points at issue he would not now express an opinion. If there had been any objection against the instrument, upon the construction of which the case chiefly turned, the parties who now objected could have asserted their claim to the shares in a legal way. It did not appear at the time that there had been any protests against the in strument respecting the notes which had been treated as a perfectly valid instrument. The plaintiffs clearly con sidered the instrument not binding; but under these circumstances they should have made their claims not later than the 15th of February, 1845, and not have made the delay they did. Indeed, the arguments ad duced on behalf of the plaintiffs utterly failed here. They had no excuse whatever for that delay. With respect to the Act of Parliament it was obscure in some points. There was one point at all events which was quite clear, namely, as to the object of the company in obtaining that Act. No one could for a moment suppose that in applying for an Act of Parliament, such as they had done, that it was not the intention of the company to be empowered to exchange the shares for the loan notes. And here he must say that he could not believe the plaintiffs in their statements with reference to these loan notes. He had no difficulty whatever in this case until he came to the resolution of the 9th of January, 1845. The Act empowered the company to dispose of these shares in any way they desired. Here the words of the resolution became difficult to be reconciled, because it appeared to refer again to the Act of Parliament. But the resolution was free foom all ambiguity to the extent that there was a perfect allow ance to convert the loan notes into shares. Nor could it be doubted for a moment that by the resoluticn there was no other than an ordinary power given to the share holders. He would therefore dismiss the bill with costs. DUNCOMBE, M.P., V. LEVY.—JUDGNENT. His HONOUR, in delivering judgment in this cause said, This was a case in which the question at issue was —whether or not the plaintiffs were entitled to claim the execution of a trust-deed. A bill was filled for that pur pose, and Mr. Levy, one of the creditors, whose debt was satisfied had been made a party in the cause. The other creditors, whose debts had not been challenged. had been served with copies of the bill. He was re quested by the defendants to counsel whether or not the other creditors should have been served with subpcenas. The question depended upon the terms of the order. Those parties served with copies of the bill had a right to appear then, and have a suit prosecuted against them if they thought fit to do so. It was for their benefit that the order should be made to apply to them. Another question raised was with respect to Mr. Levy. On that part of the case he had to observe, that it was extraordinary that having two judgments against which he might have proceeded he did not do so. It was shown that directions had been given. He did not wish to decide against him, but the question might be taken on an issue. On the other question, also, he (Mr. Levy) might take the opinion of a court of law. COURT OF REVIEW.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) BRUMMAGE V. JONES. The petitioner in this case was the defendant Jones, who was a bankrnpt. It appeared that the bankrupt had among other assets three shares in a legacy of 4001., and as the payment of the same was attended with some difficulty, the de fendant considered that his interest would be sacrificed were it to be disposed of at present, and therefore applied to the Court for an order to prevent such imme diate sale. His HoNourt said he attached great credit to the ob jection here made. Here was a peculiar case. The bankrupt had one share in the reversion of a legacy, and bought two others. He then made two assignments of the same, but a severance had now taken place between the assignees, consequently the interests of the bankrupt might suffer materially. After some discussion between the Counsel, His HONOUR ordered the matter should be referred to the Commissioner before whom the bankrupt ap peared. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND ASSESSORS OF THE BO ROUGH OF ST. ALBAN'S. Mr. WELLSBY moved for a rule quo warranto against the Mayor of St. Alban's, and a person named Joseph Russell, and called on them to show by what authority the said Joseph Russell claimed to exercise the office of town councillor of St. Alban's. The Learned Council stated that the motion was made upon two grounds. The first was, that Mr. Russell, the party elected, had not a majority of votes, and that the numbers had been incorrectly taken at the poll ; and the second was, that one of the assessors, who acted as deputy for Mr. Harrison, was incompetent to act. The facts were simply these :—The offices of four town councillors of the bo rough having become vacant, an election took place be fore the Mayor and assessors, one of whom (Mr. Wingrave) acted for Mr. Jacob Harrison. On the 2d of November, the day of the election, the candidates were Messrs. Lowe, Kent, Russell, Kinder, Shrubb, and Lewis. Two gentlemen acted as p,ll clerks for some of the candidates, and took a correct list of all the votes, and their numbers were, for Mr. Lowe 272, for Shrub 247, for Kent 246, and for Mr. Gibson 243. The votes were examined that evening in the Town hall, in presence of the mayor, assessors, and town- c l er k (Mr. Blagg), and the next day the numbers were de clared, for Lowe 277, Kent 254, Russell 248, and Shr u bb 245. The deponent stated, that having great doubts as to the correctness of this return, Mr. Williams, one of the poll-clerks, s a t n a y te e d x t t h ra a c t t th o e r w T e h n e t t t o ow t n h_e ele to rk wn r -c e l f e u r s k ed to to in a s l p le ee w t t th he e voting papers. eyl,,o2ulvdootenr votes, whereas i e papers o to be be made. s ee n ju t o r g . e vv t h t e l l r i , a m o s r comparisons voth) voting pap number of them four votes each, makng a was 473, the mayor returned 1,904 votes as having bee n polled, who acted as iven . total of . o th f Mr. Wingrave, of Mr. Jacob Harrison, could not act legally, as the Act state making the number 12 mo re than could pos sibly have been g de puty assessor, in place unless in case of sickness , appointed for an assessor, having been given .

THE QUEEN V. T Mr. GRAVES applied for a ru d' directed to two le to show cause why air writ of mand amus s hould not issue, magistrates of the county of Worcester, to compel them t to grant di s t ress warrants aga i ns t t wo pa clined p a yi ng the poors'-rate. The Learres who de nied Counsel stated that th e facts of the case (which were some what peculiar) were th ese: —O n th e 10th of July a rate was made by a competent number of the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Broadway in the county of Worcester. On the Sunday following notice of the rate was affixed to the church door, accord ing to the provisions of the Act. The notice declared a poor -rate of 6d. in the pound, and was signed by two of the churchwardens. Au attorney in the parish re fused to pay the rate. On being summoned to show cause for his refusal, he objected that the rate was null and void, as the notice was not a good one. His clerk and son both made the same objection. The case came before the magistrates, and it was argued that as the no tice was signed by John Justin for J. Poole and Charles Mosley, it was void on two grounds; first, that no church warden had any power to sign by deputy, and, secondly, that the notice was not signed by a majority of the churchwardens and overseers. The objection was held good, and the rate became null and void. On the 12th of September following a rate similar to the former one in amount was declared, and the parties again refused to pay. On being summoned they ad mitted the perfect regularity of the proceedings in this instance, but contended that the first rate was a good one, and held good until it had been regularly quashed at the quarter sessions, and that the last rate being a concurrent rate could not be valid. The magistrates who were puzzled by these proceedings refused to grant a distress warrant, and the parties wer e compelled to „ Inv to this Court to compel them. The first rate was iuost certainly null and void by the Act ,7th Win. IV., and Vic. 1., chap. 45, and therefore th. second rate must necessarily be legal, as all due fox ms had been complied with. Mr. Justice FATTEBON-N-TAket a rule. AMERICAN CHIVALRY. I am convinced that a lady, no matter what her age and attractions !might be, could journey through the whole extent of the union, not only without experiencing a single annoyance, but aided in every possible way with unobtrusive civility. Indeed, great numbers of Sophon isbas and Almiras do travel about, protected only by the chivalry of their countrymen and their own undoubted propriety. To them the best seats, the best of every thing, are always allotted, A friend of :mine told me of a little affair at New York theatre, the other night, illustrative of my assertion. A stiff-necked English man bad engaged a front place, and of course the best corner : when the curtain rose, he was duly seated, opera-glas in hand, to enjoy the performance. A lady and gentleman came into the box shortly afterwards ; the cavalier in escort, seeing that the place where our friend sat was the best, called his attention, saying " The lady, Sir," and motioned that the corner should be va cated. The possessor, partly because he disliked the imperative mood, and partly because it bored him to be disturbed, i efused. Some words ensued, which attracted the attention of the sovereign people in the pit, who ma gisterially inquired what was the matter? The Ameri can came to the front of the box and said, " There is an Englishman here who will not give up his place to a lady." Immediately their majesties swarmed up by dozens over the barriers, seized the offender, very gently though, and carried him to the entrance ; he kicked, cursed, and fought all in vain ; he excited neither the pity nor the anger of his stern executioners ; they placed him carefully on his feet again at the steps, one man handing him his hat, another his opera-glass, and a third the price he had paid for his ticket of admission, then quietly shut the door upon him, and returned to their places. The shade of the departed Judge Lynch must have rejoiced at such an angelic administration of his law !—England in the New World. THE PIXIES OF DEVONSHIRE.—The pixies of Devonshire are very differently described in different parts of the county. In the North of Devon, and on the borders of Cornwall, there are thought to be " the an cient inhabitants,"—a dwarfish and malicious race, wearing dresses of dark green, and living within the green circles commonly called " fairy rings." Like the rest of the " good people," they are fond of music ; and the sound of their "harp and pipe and symphony" is occasionally heard at nightfall. It is said that a man once passing one of these pixy rings, and hearing them dancing and singing within it, threw a large stone into the midst of the circle, when the music at once ceased, and a dreadful shriek arose. It is seldom, however, that they become vi sible. There is a celebrated pixy haunt at Costellas, in Cornwall ; where they have been sittinir in a ring, the men smoking after the most approved fashion of the Dutch Burgmeester, and the women spinning. perhaps in emulation of the frugal Vrow. On the northern and western borders of Dartmoor, the Pixies have a different character. They are sometimes seen in bands, but more frequently in small numbers—as two or three together. They delight in tormenting and leading astray such persons as they find abroad after nightfall ; and the only remedy in such a case is to turn some part of your dress,—a spell which at once dissolves their " glamour.", Like the fairies, they are charged with stealing, or rather changing, children in the cradle ; and with carrying off to the " joyless elfin bower" such persons as, by the commission of some great crime, have placed themselves under their influence. A woman is still living at Tot ness, who is said to have been thus changed at her birth; and on the shores of what is called " the lake," st Tamerton, are certain soft sandy places into which whoever chance to step 'is at once carried off by the Pixies. They are said to have " houses" in the deep clefts of broken rock which form the Tors of Dartmoor. On the southern side of Sheepstor is a singular cavern, formed by large overhanging blocks of granite, called ." The Pixies' House," within which they may be heard sometimes hammering (for, like the Duergar, they are great workers in metal), and sometimes busily pounding their cider. This cave is considered " a critical place for children ;" and no one visits it without leaving a bunch of grass, or one or two pins, as a propitiatory offering to the mysterious beings who inhabit it. The Pixies de light in riding the cattle about Sheepstor at night ; and the horses and bullocks of the neighbouring farmers are constantly found, in the morning, wearied and covered with foam. They plait the manes of such horses as they ride ; and the twisted knots that are afterwards found in /hem are called " Pixy seats."—Athenceum. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A LADY AT CLIFTON,— We regret having to announce the suicide, under me lancholy circumstances, of Miss Rebecca Jones, a -maiden lady, 67 years of age, who resided in the house formerly occupied by the late Mr. Bickley, at Meridan place, Clifton.—Miss Jones had resided with Mr. Bick ley, and since his death, which, occurred on the 15th of October last, she had been in a very excited state. She would walk hurriedly from room to room, talk in coherently, and gave evidence that her mind was in an unsettled state, her prevailing idea being that she would brought to poverty. She was last seen alive at twelve o'clock on Wednesday, when her footman ob :served her in her drawing-room, and walking up and down in an agitated manner. In about half au hour afterwards he was alarmed by hearing a crash in the back area, and upon going to ascertain the cause of it, he was surprised to find two of the large coping stones of the parapet lying upon the ground. A violent ring ing at the door-bell was heard, and on going to answer it, he was informed that his mistress had thrown herself -from the house-top into the back area of Mr. Harris's house next door. She groaned once or twice, and then expired. An inquest was held on the body the same afternoon, and a verdict of Temporary Insanity was re ' turned.—Bristol Mercury. IMPORTATION OF GUANO,A vessel, just arrived in the River from Ghent (Belgium), has brought, in ad dition to 27 tons weight of oak bark, the production of Belgium, 616 bags of guano. The arrivals of this newly discovered description of manure have, we believe, hi therto been confined to the islands in the Southern and South Atlantic Ocean, and other places in those distant regions in which it abounds and has been collected. FOREIGN CHESTNUTS.—The arrival of chestnuts from abroad within these few days have been of a very extensive character, they being very plentiful this sea son, not only here but on the Continent. IMPORTATION OF BONES.—A vessel, arrived from Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, has brought, besides a general cargo, comprising every variety of the usual sup plies from the quarter under notice, the large quantity of 89,3 9 01 b. weight of dry bones. The arrival of so large a quantity of animal bones in one vessel from the Cape is rather remarkable, for whatever purpose they are intended, and the importation is not altogether un worthy of particular notice.

CONSPIRACY--THE QUEEN V. GOMPERTZ AND OTHERS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. WATSON, Q.C., who appeared with Mr. Cowling, for Mr. Robert Witham, one of the defendants, then proceeded to address the Court. He said he was in structed to say, on behalf of his client, who was the youngest son of Mr. William Witham, that he was wholly innocent of the crime brought to his charge, and that his conviction must have arisen out of some misconception on the part of the jury who tried him, and that his conviction could only have arisen out of some of those circumstances which generally weighed in the minds of a jury called upon to try an indictment of conspiracy. Mr. Francis Witham died before the indictment was brought before a court of justice, so that, whether he was guilty, or whether he had been made a dupe of, or not, werequestions which it was unnecessary now to determine. His client was 19 years of age at the time, and when the indictment was instituted against him he had only been two years in his father's office. His father and grandfather had occupied a high position as solicitors, and had carried on business in the same office, in Gray's-inn-square, since 1J72. Capitaitn Rose was an outcast from his family, an outlaw, and in great pecuniary difficulties, his only means :of subsistence being half-pay, and 200/, which was allowed. him by his friends, and the reversionary interest of 8,0001, to which, after all, he had no claim whatever, as his father had advanced the money upon. it. Captain Rose, it appeared, had been a candidate to• represent the borough of Poole in Parlia ment, and in order to pay the expenses of the contest a Mr. Sleds lent him 1,0001, but as he could not get it back again he instructed Mr. Parr, his solicitor, to pro ceed to London in order to obtain its repayment from Captain Rose. Being thus pressed, and being anxious to get rid of tlae importunities of Mr. Parr, he and Gompertz, on the 25 th of Avgust, during the Jong vacation of 1841, attended at the office of Messrs. Witham, and in duced Mr. Robert Witham, who was the only person there, and he had nothing whatever to do with the ma nagement of the firm, to write a letter to Mr. Parr, stating, in the name of the firm, that they had every reason to believe that the bills of Captain Rose, for 30,0001, would be duly paid by Parker. 'There could be no question that this letter was obtained for the ex ~press purpose of satisfying Mr. Parr, and was obtained from a young man of 19, who was not entrusted with any voice in the management of the firm, by Rose and Gompertz, both of whom were experienced men of the world. This was the only evidence against Robert Witham. Rose, however, stated at the trial that the letter was written. without any pressing request on his part, or on the part of Gompertz. On the very day the letter was exhibited to Mr. Parr, and an order given to him or Messrs. Witham for 1,000/. Shortly after, Parr, at a meeting at the Carlton Club, he having received a letter from Mr. Witham sen., saying that Parker was not his client, and that he did not know him, stated that he be lieved the matter was all humbug, and that they had only:misled him. Lord D EStMAN said the worst part of the matter was that the Withams acted as the attorneys of Rose and Gompertz, and that a solicitor named Smith acted for the imaginary Mr. Parker, thus favouring the assump tion that they did not act for Parker because there was I fraud in the transaction. Mr. WAr.s . ox went on to say, that notwithstanding the letter of Mr. Witham, sen., stating that Parker, who was to advance the money on the bills, was not his client, Rose, who knew of the circumstance, signed the bills shortly after. Then it was stated by Mr. Parr that Mr. Robert Witham was at the meeting at the Carlton Club, whereas it appeared from his affidavits that he never was in the Carlton Club in his lifetime, and that the evidence given in the course of the trial was a mistake ; he was often taken for his brother, who is dead. Lord DEN AN stated that the Court would look at the affidavits before hearing Mr. Watson further. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 10. THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL V. BAILEY. In this case, which was tried last term before the Lord Chief Baron, verdicts were returned for the Crown upon the first, fourth, and fifth counts of the declaration. The first count charged the plaintiff with being in pos session of four illicit stills; upon this count a verdict was found with the sum of 2,0001. The fourth count charged the defendant with distilling spirits without a license ; upon this count a ♦erdict was returned with the sum of 5001. The fifth count charged the defendant with removing spirits without a permit; the verdict upon this count was also for the Crown, with the sum of 4,0001. The defendant carried on the business of a wholesale chemist and druggist at Red burn, in Derbyshire. Mr. MARTIN now moved for a rule either to set aside the verdict, or for a new trial. Although it had been proved by the witnesses called at the trial upon the part of the Crown that these stills had been improperly used, yet these stills were primarily intended for the purpose of distilling sweet spirits of nitre, and as this article was exempted from the operation of 6 George IV., the defendant was not bound to take out a license, and therefore the verdict returned upon the two last counts was wrong. If the party owning stills kept for the pur pose of distilling such spirits of nitre should use his still for the purpose of manufacturing spirits properly so called, there were other Acts under which he could be puni.hed, but under the 6 Geo. IV. it was now con tended that the defendant could not be convicted. The COURT held the verdict to be good, and consi dered that the defendant came under the definition of the Act.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 10. (Sittings in Banco.) ROBINSON V. BROWN. This was a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground of the improper admission of evidence. It was an action to recover 4001. secured on a bond, and the verdict 'bad been returned for the plaintiff. The plaintiff had not served the defendant with notice to produce the written notice with which he had been served of breach of bond, and at the trial evidence as to the substitution of a letter was given, without the letter itself being produced. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Butt showed cause against the rule, and Mr. Sergeant Ryles and Mr. Burns supported it. was, whether h L e o t ß h D er Cr ro E pe r r J n tr o s t T ic l e cE of sa d i e d f , au th lt e h q ad ue b st e i e o n n g a i t ve is n st t i o e the defendant ? He was of opinion that there had not, as the defendant should not only have given notice of the default, but have called on him to produce the same on trial. His opinion, therefore, was, the evidence was insufficient to go to the jury. He did not think the prac tice of notice regarding bills of exchange admissible in the present case. Failing in that, he con sidered the rule for a nonsuit should be made absolute. But that the ends of justice might bo served, the Court perhaps would be able to frame the rule, though leave on that head had not been given, _so as to enter a verdict, and then the question might be raised whether the production of the paper was material or not in the case. The other Learned Judges concurred, and the rule was made absolute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 10. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION RAILWAY TO LEAMINGTON. His HONOUR had appointed twelve o'clock to-day to give his decision as to whether the insertion of a notice of dissolution in the London Gazette was an act of bankruptcy, and at that hour the solicitor to the fiat was in attendance. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the point was of such great importance that he wished for further time to consider, but perbar. the solicitor would wish to argue the point. The SOLICITOR said that he was prepared to do so. The Learned CoMMISsIoNER tr.,ked whether he wished for, time, or to employ counsel? The SQLICIIOB said he was ready to argue the case ~.....,,—... --....„-, himself at any time app o i n t e d, an d two o ' c l oc k to-day was fixed. At two o'clock to-day this matter was called on by appointment for the question to be argued whether a notice of dissolution of the company in the London Ga zette was in itself an act of bankruptcy. Mr. Pocock appeared as solicitor to the fiat. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked whether any per son appeared on the other aide to oppose the adjudica tion ? Mr. POCOCK said he was not aware that any opposi tion would be made. He then proceeded to argue that under the 27th and 28th sections of the Act gthland 10th Vic., c. 28, any creditor was at liberty to sue out a fiat after notice of dissolution was given in the Gazette, whether the company had decided that the dissolution was to be considered an act of bankruptcy or not, if such fiat was sued out within three months from the time such notice was given, and that the dissolution of the company was in itself an act of bankruptcy, for no further proceedings could be taken to carry out the ob ject for which it was formed. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he was of opinion that it was so, but the Act was by no means clear, and he should not decide without consulting his brother Commissioner. He would take down the argument and consider the matter. Mr. Pococx said that he had also to submit that the shutting up the (Ace and ending trade was an act of bankruptcy under the general law. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that if the bank ruptcy could not be sustained under this Act it could not be made out at all. The company were not traders. Mr. Pococu said that if the creditors could not come in under this Act they had no remedy against the share holders, for the managers bad almost all absconded, and it was only by ascertainini, the debts u n d er th e bank ruptcy that they co u ld go before the Lord Chancellor to have a distribution from the shareholders. Mr. POCOCK said Mr. Commissioner Goulburn had expressed a very strong opinion as to the validity of the proceedings. The Learned COMMISSIONER then adjourned the case till Friday next.

BURGLARY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—Yesterday morn ing a very daring robbery was committed at the Harp public-house, opposite the pit entrance of Drury-lane Theatre, in Little Russell-street. It appeared from the information received by the police, that shortly after three o'clock the private watchman was passing the above house, when he tried the front door, and found it unfastened. A respectably dressed man was standing at the door at the time, and exclaimed, " Oh, it's all right ; it's only young Morgan, the son of the landlord, gone in." The watchman, however, suspected that something was wrong, and accordingly proceeded to the Bow-street police-station, and informed the inspector on duty. The latter immediately went to the house, and aroused the inmates, and on proceeding to the parlour, they found several port wine bottles emptied of their contents, and ascertained that a dozen pork pies had been demolished by the hungry thieves. The till had been forced open, and 255. in fourpenny pieces, and a quantity of copper money was stolen therefrom ; two boxes of cigars were also taken from the bar. The thieves effected an entrance by the parlour window, which faces King's Head-yard, at the side of the house. The house was searched by the police, but the thieves had escaped while the watchman was gone to Bow-street DEATH FROM DRUNKENNESS AND RECKLESS DRlVlNG.—Yesterday morning at an early hour, a young man named Thomas Roberts, aged twenty-one years, in the service of Mr. Wheatley, coach proprietor at Green wich, met his death under reckless circumstances. The deceased and several shopmates had been to a supper, which had been given to celebrate some event connected with their employer, and whilst on the way home, a little elevated, two of them stopped to speak before they sepa rated. At the moment a light chaise cart containing two individuals passed by at a rapid speed towards town, and before either could reach the footpath, they were both knocked down by the cart which the driver did not stop, but continued to drive at the same rapid speed until out of sight. The man Roberts was insensible, and was carried to the nearest surgeon's, where it was ascer tained that he had received a fracture of the base of the skull, a severe scalp wound, and other injuries. He was subsequently conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he ex pired in a few hours after his admission. The other man is going on favourably. When the police were made acquainted with the circumstances a mounted messenger went in pursuit of the persons in charge of the cart, but owing to the time that had elapsed, the de linquents An inquest will be held on ACCIDENT hceclbpoEdNyTeffected this Ai e s t VhEeeAni their n On Saturday last a fishing boat sailed from Hopeman, with a crew of nine or ten men, and was shortly after upset off Covesea, when all would have likely met a watery grave, had not the clip per Heroine, Captain Congalton, of Leith, on her way south, providentially passed near the boat at the time of the accident.
