(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN THE. BANKRUPTCY OF JOHN WEBB. This bankrupt was an extensive dealer in straw plait at Luton in Bedfordshire. This was the ad journed meeting for the last examination. Mr. Linklater supported the bankrupt; Mr. Law ranee opposed. The bankrupt makes the following written state ment upon the proceedings :—" During the past year the depreciation in the value of the straw plait and bonnet manufacture has been so great that every house in the trade has sustained most serious and heavy losses. The consequence has been that a number of houses in this trade have been compelled either to offer a composition to their creditors or apply to the Bankruptcy Court. There are many highly respectable manufacturers who are willing to corroborate this statement."_ _ _ The books snd accounts have been kept in a most unsatisfactory manner, the various items being for the most part estimated. The balance-sheet contains the following items : Creditors, 10,083/. ; creditors holding security, 383/. ; liabilities, 3,277/. The debts due to the estate are estimated at 1,471/.; property held by creditors, 618/. ; property given up, 273/. ; expenses, 729/. ; losses, 7,1281.

William Charles Trowbridge, of 15, Crown-street, Hoxton-square, and John Cousins, his partner, were brought up on suspicion of stealing a quantity of sewing silk and money to the amount of about 1141. Mr. Humphreys attended to prosecute. At the previous examination evidence was only adduced against Trowbridge, his partner Cousins being apprehended outside the court just as the case was going to be heard this morning. It appeared that a person named Heales had lately taken the Swan chambers in Aldermanhury, and let one room to the prisoners, Trowbridge having stated they were com mission agents. Nothing, however, had been seen to go into the premises, and on the night of the 12th inst. the warehouse of Messrs. Sleigh and Woolley, silk twist manufacturers, was broken open, and cash to the amount of 241. taken, besides other property of the value of 901. Messrs. Sleigh and W oolley's premises were on the ground floor, and Trowbridge was observed standing at the door with another man about a quarter to seven o'clock, when Mr. Loveridge (agent to Messrs. Sleigh and Woolley) locked up the place, and left everything safe. Alderman FAREBROTHER remanded both prisoners for a week. CLERKEN WELL. Robert White a young man whose appearance in dicated great distress, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with the following daring robbery. William Richard Tuckwood, assistant to Mrs. Ann Aldridge, pawnbroker of 10, Orange-street, Blooms bury, deposed that on Tuesday night last, at about eight o'clock, he was behind the counter, when he was alarmed by the smashing of the glass in the shop window, and on turning round saw the prisoner's arm through the frame, and he was grasping at valuable property which was exhibited for show and sale. Witness instantly went out and seized the 1 1 prisoner, who made no attempt to escape ; he gave ' him into the custody of police-constable 88 E, who took him to the station-house. The prisoner wept, and said he was driven to commit the robbery by starvation. He could get no work, and he had been turned out of St. Pancras' workhouse. _ _ _ Mr. TYIWHITT said that the way in which pawn brokers exposed valuable property in their windows was a great temptation to parties disposed to commit robbery. Tuckwood replied that the watches and other articles which were exposed in the window were attached to wires for security. The prisoner seized several articles, but only succeeded in taking away a silver butter-knife. The police-constable 88 E confirmed the evidence. Sergeant Lister, 10 E, said that the prisoner was not perfectly right in his mind. He appeared to be imbecile. At the station-house he said his father was a carpenter out of work, who was in great distress and una' le- to support him. The prisoner got some work at a greengrocer's, but left there through slack ness of trade, and was obliged to apply to St. Pancras parish for relief, when they put him into the casual ward, but they turned him out of the workhouse. Mr. TYRWHITT asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? The prisoner (weeping) said, that he committed the robbery through hunger and starvation; he had been about looking for work for several days, and had not had a morsel of food to eat. He applied to the parish of St. Pancras for relief, when he was put into the casual ward. On the following day they ordered him to go into the stone-yard to break stones. He did so, and broke a bushel of them, when he was told that they were not broken small enough. He went back and broke them smaller, when they were not satisfied with his efforts, and the master turned him out of the house, and he had nothing given to him. He had ever since been in great distress. (The poor fellow here wept bitterly.) Mr. TYRWHITT directed the clerk to set down in the prisoner's defence that he was driven to the offence by starvation. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARY LEBONE. A labourer named Henry Gibbs, who has re peatedly been in custody for outrages of a most vio lent and ruffianly nature on the police, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with the following brutal attack on Jones, 209 D. Jones stated, that on the previous evening the prisoner, who was the worse for drink, stopped some ladies in the New-road, and used towards them lan guage of an indecent description. He refused to go on when required to do so, and after knocking down complainant by a tremendous blow on the chest kicked him severely on different parts of the body. He also exclaimed, " You -, let me get at this, and I'll do for you," at the same time endeavouring to lay hold of a large clasp knife which was beneath his waistcoat, suspended by a string round his neck. Some persons who heard cries for assistance were speedily on the spot, and on one of them laying hold of complainant's rattle and springing it other con stables came up, and after a determined resistance on the part of the prisoner, they at length conveyed him to the station-house. A portion of the above evidence was corroborated by 184 D. Inspector Porter said, that the prisoner was one of the most determined and troublesome fellows imaginable. Many of the men in the D division had suffered materially at different periods from his brutality towards them, and one constable named Jacocks had been so barbarously used by him that he was compelled to quit the force, being incapaci tated through the prisoner's conduct from continuing to do duty. Mr. BROUGHTON regretted that more power was not given to magistrates in dealing with such offences, and sentenced the prisoner to a month in the House of Correction. LAMBETH. Luke Ward, who was dressed in the uniform of the 43d Regiment of Infantry, was charged before Mr. Norton with an act of vagrancy by begging in the public street. Police-constable William Cockerell, 108 L, de posed, that he found the prisoner begging in the Lower-marsh, Lambeth, and the singularity of a soldier asking for alms in the public street having caused a crowd of persons to assemble around him so as to obstruct the public way, he felt it to be his duty to remove him to the station-house. In reply to the charge, the prisoner gave the fol lowing brief history of his life and present sufferings —" His father, Michael Ward, who, he said, was a native of the town of Trim, in the county of Meath; enlisted in the 49th Regiment of Foot when a young man, and after serving in that regiment in various parts of the globe, was pensioned off as a sergeant in 1829, and died in his native town of Trim in, 1839. t During the period of his father's service, his (prisoner's) three brothers, who, a s w ell as hirn-1 self; had been born in the regiment, enlisted into the( army; his brother Thomas went into the 49th] became a sergeant in the band, and master of th. , adult school, and died in India in 1838. His brother, Peter also enlisted into the 49th, and was discharged in 1838, having lost the sight of the right eyei and very nearly that of the other, and was allowed at pension of ls. a day. Michael, a third brother] enlisted into the 86th Regiment, in which he was at present serving in India, and he the (prisoner) enlisted at Trim, in September, 1839, immediately after the death of his father, into the 43d Light Infantry. He accompanied the regiment to Canadaj where he was attacked with a white swelling of thei right knee, and, after being in a hospital for twelve' months, was obliged to have the limb amputated a little above the injured part at Quebec, it January, lii4s. In the month of October of thd same year he arirved at Chatham and was then! discharged on a pension of 6d. a day for eighteen' months. He understood, he said, from the surgeori who attended him that the loss of a leg above the.' knee, or an arm above the elbow, would certainly title him to at least one shilling a day pension, and; therefore expected that sum, and the announcement that he was to have sixpence a-day, and only that for; eighteen months, had much disappointed him. He' petitioned the Commissioners at Chelsea Hospital when his pension had ceased, and after an interval of four months they consented to the pension continuing for six months longer. The period expired threir months ago, and since that time he bad been reduceoii to the greatest possible privations, and compelled as a. last resource to beg." The poor fellow here handed in his discharge and other documents, which bore out his statement to the ,fullest extent. He also handed in certificates signed by the colonel of the regiment and others, representing his conduct and character to have been of the very best description. In reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, the prisoner said he had forwarded his papers to the Commander-in-Chief, and had received a reply from Lord Fitzroy Somerset, stating, that though his Grace considered his case a hard one he had not the power to do anything for him, as such power rested solely in the Commissioners at Chelsea Hospital. The prisoner further stated, that on enlisting be de scribed Trim to be his birthplace, but he had since ascertained that he had been born in the Isle of Wight while his father's regiment was there. He had been latterly stopping at the lodgings of his brother Peteri who was then in court. The brother was here called forward, and stated that he assisted his brother as well as he could, but the sight of his left eye having become much weak ened, and the right eye entirely lost to him, he and his wife were obliged to shift as well as they could upon his pension of ls. a day. Ire added that there were very few families who contributed five of their members to the service and defence of their country as theirs had, and thought the Government ought to do something for his brother. For his own part, he had no reason to complain of the Government, as he thought it had done all it could for him, and he did hope that something would be done for his poor brother if he could only find some gentleman of in fluence to take up his case. Mr. NORTON supposed the reason for withholding a pension in their case was from the circumstance of the prisoner having lost his limb from natural causes, and not by accident or while in battle. But whether it had been lost in the one way or in the other, its deprivation was the same to the poor man. He (Mr. Norton) thought that the fact of the whole family having devoted themselves to the service of the coun try was a circumstance which entitled the prisoner's case to a favourable consideration ; and he should, therefore, recommend that a full representation of the case be drawn up and forwarded with the documents produced to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, with the view of seeing if it could not be made an exception to the general rule. The poor felloNv replied that he was quite incapa ble of drawing up such a statement himself, and had not a farthing to pay others for doing it. Upon which— Mr. NORTON, with his usual kindness in such mat ters, requested the chief clerk to draw up the state ment and forward it to Chelsea, and further desired that 103. be given from the poor-box for the unfortu nate man's present relief. The poor fellow seemed so overpowered with the kindness which he had experienced, as to be scarcely able to express his gratitude. BALLOON ASCENT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) LEEDS, MAY 23. Lieutenant G. B. Gale made his 33d ascent on Monday last, in the Cremorne Balloon, from the Zoological Gar dens at Headingley, near Leeds, accompanied by James Goulston, Esq., who made his fifth ascent. The balloon was constructed by Mr. Goulston; it is rather more than 40 feet in diameter, and will contain about 35,000 feet of gas. It was entirely yellow, with the exception of the zone or belt, which was scarlet. The balloon was inflated early in the morning, near theiCardigan's Arms, Kirkstall-road, and was conveyed about eight o'clock to the gardens by means of ropes. The distance was about a quarter of a mile. The in flation occupied three hours. The ascent took place about ten minutes before seven in the evening; the bal loon rose almost perpendicularly, and a finer ascent was never witnessed; the sun shining brilliantly at the time caused the balloon to appear like a globe of fire. After remaining in the air about three-quarters of an hour, the aeronauts descended safely within a short dis tance of the railway station at Dewsbury, a distance of eight or nine miles from the gardens. Considerable dissatisfaction was caused on the appear ance of the balloon with only two persons in the car, it being announced in the bills that the balloon was capable of holding 60,000 feet of gas, and was capable of ascending with twelve persons ; and, likewise, that Lieutenant Gale would be accompanied by six persons, whereas the balloon will only take four or five. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND EPSOM RAILWAY. —Last evening, shortly before six o'clock, an accident took place near the Sutton station, on the line of the London and Epsom Railway, whereby a man named William Manson, aged thirty-one years, received such injuries that his life is at present despaired of. The unfortunate man was a guard in the service of the company, and shortly before the accident the train stopped at the Sutton station, to tak e up passengers for the London-bridge terminus. Tho signal being given, the engine-driver started the train, which proceeded very gently towards town. Immediately afterwards the guard, who, it appears, was rather behind time, jumped on to one of the carriages; he mounted the roof, and before he could get to his seat, his head came in contact with one of the bridges, by which he sustained some shocking injuries. The unfortunate man was taken to Guy's Hospital, and at present remains in a very pre carious condition. THE QUEEN'S BALL.—Sir E. Bulwer Lytton was not present at the ball at Buckingham Palace on Friday, a recent domestic affliction not having permitted him the honour of attending. CIVIL ENGINEERS' INSTITUTION MAY 16. (Jos, ua Field, Esq., President, in the chair.) No paper was read, in order to afford time for the dis cussion of Mr. Gooch's paper on the resistance to railway trains at different velocities, which was read at the meet ing of April 18. The principal speakers were Messrs. Brunei, Gooch, Bidder, Locke, Harding, and Russell, and their argil" ments were necessarily so complicated by calculations as to render it difficult to convey, within reasonable limits, even an outline of the discussion. It was contended, on one side, that this subject bad been so treated in the paper as to make it almost a ques tion of the comparative gauges ; that the experiments upon which the arguments were founded could not be received as applicable to railways in general, inasmuch as it was presumed from the statements that the portion of the line was selected as being in the best working COw dition ; that the engine and the carriages were also picked as being in the best order; and that therefore the results were due to these peculiar circumstances, and net to the ordinary working state of the line ; _ that the amount of resistance per ton was understated by Igr' Gooch, on these accounts, and that of the rate of resist ance, arrived at by, the committee of the British MO; ciation, by projecting trains of carriages down inclined planes, was nearer the truth than the expression of resist• ante arrived; at with the locomotive and the dynamome: ter; that the tables were partly made up from the edit results of the experiments, and by using Mr. Har din g formula, which had been repudiated in other cases 6s . incorrect; that the greater weight of the trains id t, 1 : 1 7 late experiments, as compared with those of the B rill Association, &c., reduced the value of the deduc tions► that the atmospheric railway could alone give the resist, ance due to the frontage, which was not given vibe ° locomotive was used, as it covered a portion on the e l ; riage frontage, and the dynamometer being .behind th e engine, the resistance of the train of carriages i, could be arrived at, and that the valuation of the pressq:: of the wind upon the train at various angles was not Set , factory. such was the general tenor of the argunielin and on the other side it was urged that Mr. Gooch endeavoured, as much as possible, to avoid ititroden7 in any degree the question of the gauges, and to P o ; the results of the experiments, in order that every pe s t examining them might draw his own con clusions;, the portion of the li ne on w hi c h M r .
