(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbttrn) IN itk SIR R. NICHOLSON-A BARONET'S TROUBLES, This bankrupt, who was described as of many addresses, again came up before the Court to-day, for the purpose of obtaining the order of discharge from custody. The case has been mentioned upon many occasions, and recently an attempt was made to get a choice of assignees, but it failed. The debts are not large, and Mr. Sargood opposed on be half of the 'West-end creditors. The learned Counsel stated that the bankrupt had con tracted debts in every place in which he had taken up his location, and his release was most strenuously opposed. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said his client had been in custody since June, and surely no good could result from keeping him any longer confined. _ _ Mr. Sargood said that 20 creditors claimed £1,798, and the bankrupt had systematically contracted debts from which he had absconded. His Honour said that it would be ♦ery much better to send the case to Mr. Winslow, and looking at all the facts the application ought to be dismissed. Here the bankrupt came before the court in forma perks. Mr. Lawrence—He does not. His Honour—He did on the first occasion. Mr. Lawrence—He does not now, and I think the appli cation should not be dismissed, but adjourned. His Honour then adjourned the application for Mr. Winslow to deal with it. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) A CITY MERCHANT AND HIS SHAVING SOAP-FOSTER V. RIMMELL. This was an action in which plaintiff, a merchant, of 9, Union-court, Old Broad-street, sued defendant, a perfumer, of 24, Cornhill, to recover is., the price paid for a cake of shaving soap. The plaintiff stated that a short time since he went into defendant's shop for the purpose of purchasing a cake of shaving soap. The shopman charged ls., and, in answer to plaintiff, declared that it would make a splendid lather, and enable him to shave easy. When he tried it, however, plaintiff discovered that it made no more lather than a penny cake of Windsor. Under these circumstances, plaintiff sought to recover his shilling_ His Honour—The shopman said it would make a good lather ? Plaintiff—Yes. His Honour—That is no warranty, but merely a trades man's puff. It is a groat pity that tradesmen should puff, but a puff is not a warranty. Plaintiff—l think when lam induced to pay one shilling for a cake of soap upon the faith of what the shopman says that I am entitled to get my money back in the event of failure. His Honour—You are not. As I said before, it is very common for tradesmen to puff their goods, and though the system is not at all commendable, a puff does not consti- ,ute a warranty. Plaintiff—Suppose I were to go into a shop and ask for a gold chain, price £6 Gs., does your honour mean to say that I could not get my money back if it turned out to be brass. His Honour—No ;if you buy gold you are entitled to gold. Defendant's shopman said the soap (of which he pro duced a cake) had been sold for many years without a complaint. His Honour—There is no case; I find for defendant. Verdict for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, BOW-STREET. A PAINFUL SCENE.-11 cabman named Jonos was placed at the bar before Mr. Flowers charged with violently as saulting his wife. Mary Ann Collins said she was the wife of a bookbinder, residing in Fairfax-court, Strand. On the evening of the 4th inst. she saw the defendant and complainant talking loudly together. The woman said to him "I was very young when I married you," and in a few minutes after she saw him cutting at her with his whip. Previous to which she had seen him knock her down with his fist. Ho got on his cab and wanted to drive . _ away, but the woman clung to the vehicle. She followed for some distance, when she fell to the ground, and the cab run over her. She was picked up much injured and con veyed to Charing-cross Hospital, and the defendant was taken into custody. Elizabeth Jones said sho was the wife of the prisoner. On the 4th of this month she met her husband's cab stand ing near Exeter Hall by accident, after an absence of more than 12 months. He had been evading a warrant issued by the parish. She went up to him and told him that as he was in London she should have him taken up, when he struck her a violent blow with the butt-end of his whip, which loosened three of her teeth. She wont behind the cab, a Hansom, to take his number, when be kicked her in the throat and rode off. She caught hold of the cab and followed it for some time, when the prisoner began cutting and alai:hate- kor with his whip, and eventually she was knocked down by the cab and run over. On recovering consciousness she found herself in Charing-cross Hospital. The poor woman, who at first had to be assisted into court, here became so overpowered that she was unable to continue her evidence, and sinking back in the chair in which she was making her statement, cried out, " Take me away, take me away," and before she could be carried from the court she became perfectly insensible. As soon as possible she was taken back to the hospital, which it seems strange she should have beon allowed to leave in the condition in which she appeared in Court. Mr. Flowers said it was impossible to proceed with the case, and he therefore should remand the defendant for fourteen days, but he would take bail for his appearance. The required sureties having been taken, the defendant left the dock amidst the hissing of several persons in court. MARLBOROUGII-S TREET. SERIOUS ASSAULT ON A BOY.—Samuel Roynolds, a tin-- plate worker, residing at No. 30, Greek- s t ree t , S o h o, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting a boy named Charles Pike, residing at No. 44, 'Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, by striking him on the head with a solder.. ing iron. The complainant, whose head was bandaged, said ho was going along Cleveland-street yesterday evening with two dogs, when the prisoner, he could not say whether by accident, kicked one of the dogs. He said to the prisoner, " Why don't you mind where you are going to you fool," and the prisoner knocked him down and kicked him. He wont after the prisoner so as to tell his (complainant's) brother. While going along he told a boy that ho had called prisoner a fool, and that he had struck him, when the prisoner said, " What do you say ?" and then came up to him and struck him with the soldering-iron produced. He afterwards wont to the University Hospital and had his head dressed. In answer to Mr. Knox the complainant said that about five minutes elapsed between the two assaults. In reply to Mr. Doughty, the complainant said his head was not injured by falling against the railings. All ho had done was to call the prisoner a fool when he kicked the dog. Vincent George, the boy spoken of by the complainant, said the complainant was telling him that he had called the prisoner a fool, and that he was going to tell his (coin _ plainant's) brother, when the prisoner said, " What did you say 2" and then struck the complainant on the head with the iron, He fell, and then got up and ran to a man, and then fell again. As the complainant's head was bleeding he gave him his pocket handkerchief. A man held the pri soner till a constable came up. Alfred Pike, brother of the complainant, said that hear ing a noise he went into the street and saw the iron pro duced held by the prisoner in the air as if in the act of striking. He seized the prisoner, who said he had not used the iron. oung, aoa E, said he found the boy bleeding from the head. The prisoner said ha did not strike the boy with the iron, but that ho struck the boy and he fell against the railings, the boy having called him silly fool. He took the prisoner to the station and the boy to the hospital, where the surgeon dressed the wound, and said that ho did not apprehend any serious consequences. Ho found a soldering iron on the prisoner, who had been drinking. Mr. Doughty, having addressed the magistrate on the prisoner's behalf, called a female named Morgan, residing in Cleveland-street, who said that she saw prisoner strike the boy, who was following him, but she did not see any thing in his hand, and also the prisoner's employer, who gave him a good character. Mr. Knox, after going ovar the evidence, said ho be lieved the complainant and his witnesses. It was a serious case, and one upon which ho should take the opinion of a Jury The surgeon at the hospital could bs subpcenaed to state the nature of the wound. He should commit the pri soner for trial; but, as he had heard a good character of him, he would take one bail in £5O for his appearance at the trial. Bail was tendered and accepted. WESTMINSTER. INHUMAN CONDUCT OF A MOTHER.—.Sarah Pettit, a woman, 40 years of age, was charged with stabbing her daughter, a child of tender years. The little girl, who gave her evidence very fairly, said that on Friday evening, between five and six, her mother came to the house where she, her brother, and sister lived with their father—the prisoner living separate. She was drunk and left her two children in the room. Witness picked up the children and took them to her, when she (the prisoner) drew a knife from where she had concealed it and stabbed her in the arm. In reply to Mr. Selfo tho child said that her father was not living with another woman. Prisoner was always drunk. Prisoner —He gave me 4s. a weok to keep myself and twins. I didn't stab the girl ; she and others tried to shove 47A 7 150 j 50 C 4 i at 2 1221 2 1051 39 124 k 51 5 Isai 1 126} 621 no} i 68 10;1 II I I 7 801 i 281 91 8 101 ITINS. 2'i 1 THg SUN, LONDOiI, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, lEEE. .This Day. me out of the room and I got stabbed myself. (She here exhibited a very badly cut arm.) Sarah Pettit, the next older daughter, said their mother came into the house and said, " where's your father—give me some halfpence ; if you don't I'll leave the twins here." She told her she had no money, and prisoner, who was very drunk, put the twins on the floor and left. Her sister took ono up and gave it to her, and she immediately drew a knife and stabbed her. She then caught hold of my hand and tried to get my head to stab it, but I put it under her shawl, and as she struck at it in her drunken ness she stabbed her own arm severely. By Mr. Selfe—We did not try to push her out at all . I don't know whether father4ives with another woman. Prisoner —You are all telling lies—your father keeps two homes, as you know. William Wallace said ho saw the prisoner go into the house, 6, Perkin's-rents, Westminster, and put the children down. She took up a knife and left the house. Martha took up one of the children and followed her up the street. She turned and ran back after her, knocked her about the door-post, and said, " I'll stab you." She did do so, and as she took hold of the eldest girl, said, "And I will do the same to you." MAR. ►ay. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Edward Ellis, 172 B, said that when ho took the priso ner, she said her husband stabbed her, and then that she did not know how it was done. Mr. Selfe ordered the prisoner to be put back for the attendance of the surgeon from Westminster Hospital who dressed the wound, and he should most certainly commit the prisoner to take hor trial. TAMES. A FEROC/OrS RUSSIAN D H oo.—Albert A. Larsen, stated to be a Swede, and ship's carpenter in the Russian merch ant service, appeared before Mr. Partridge on a summons charged with unlawfully permitting a ferocious dog to be at large immuzzled. George Hollingsworth, a dock labourer, of No. 4, Castor street, Poplar, stated that on Wednesday, the 11th of the present month, he was passing by the defendant's house in Castor-street, when a very largo and powerful Russian dog sprung out of the passage and fastened on his leg, biting his knee and lacerating it severely. He shook the beast off, and it endeavourod to fasten its teeth into his flesh again and tore his clothes. He kept the dog off with his billycock hat until assistance arrived. He had been lamo over since bitten ; the wound was cauterised, and there was a bill for £1 for medical attendance and medicine by his doctor. Besides this ho had boon prevented going to work. The prisoner, who can speak English, but pretended not to understand a word, addressed his interpreter for two or three seconds only. The interpreter made a long speech, which was in effect only that Larsen tied up his dog and made it fast before he left home on the day named. Mr. Partridgo—The defendant did not say a twentieth part of what you have said, and if his dog had been made fast in the house it could not have been at large in the street. Mr. George Davis, of No. 1, Castor-street, said that since Hollingsworth was bitten he was passing by the defen dant's house, carrying a little girl, four years old, when the largest and most furious dog he had ever seen in his life sprung on him like a lion. He had no resource but to kick him ; he had great difficulty in preventing the animal tearing him to pieces. He was not bitten, but his clothes were torn. At last he put down the child to give greater effects to his kicks, and the dog ran away. Ho had no sooner raised the child again t han the dog again attacked him, and he kept him off with kicks. Three times did this happen, and at last ho kicked the huge animal under the jaw, and it ran away. He fled in a contrary direction, and sought refuge in a public-house with the child. He was never more terrified in his life. Tho defendant said he had kept the dog fastened at home since the attack on Mr. Davis. It was now in the possession of the captain of a Russian slafp.: Mr. Partridge—lt is a pity he should keep a ferocious dog like that. If it is at large again ho will incur a heavy responsibility. It was a most scandalous and inhuman proceeding to allow such a dangerous animal to be at large. You are fined 40s. ; to pay 20s. to Hollingsworth, in addition, as compensation, and 2s. costs. RESIGNATION OF MR. JUSTICE CROMPTON.—Yes terday, at the Judges' Chambers, Mr. Justice Byles stated to counsel engaged in a summons that Mr. Justice Cromp ton had resigned, or was about to resign, on account of his very serious illness. He believed he had actually re signed. " POET CLOSE" AT:CARL/SLE.—On Tuesday-even ing " Poet Close," the far-famed and much-derided subject of the Government pension hoax, made a publio appearance in Carlisle, and gave what he called an "en tertainment" in the Mechanics' Hall, to a small but good humoured and indulgent audience. The "entertainment," which was ridiculously absurd, consisted of readings from the "poet's" works, and was in every way similar to those for which some of his audiences in Westmoreland have pelted him with pease. The "poet" was evidently cha grined that the people of the " merrie city" did not turn out in larger numb ers i n honour of him, and he declared that, as it had been his first, so should it be his last, visit to them. His great object in visiting the city appeared to "turn a penny" by advertising his own and his friends' goods, and in the business line he failed totally. His books did no t " go o ff ;" an d t h ose wao no gluttonous de man d e ith er f or hi s own carte -d e-v i s i te or that of "Mrs. Close and her baby,"' although they could be procured for a shilling. During the proceedings, he repeatedly, to the great amusement of the audience, an mounced that ho had a stock of his books on the platform, which he would sell if they were wanted. The table on which the books were lying was covered with a flag, which the poet said h a d b een presente d t o hi m, to h ang out at "Poet's H a ll" on the royal b i rth- d ays, by " Don Bellace, a man with a little beard, but a great big soul." The " poet" displayed an amount of cunning and acute ness in advertising which is not customarily found in silly men. He read and spoke in a boisterous galloping style ; and his numerous absurdities and wretched doggrel pro voked the audience into continual outbursts of laughter. Speaking of the pension hoax, he said he had been called a "wordy impostor ; but he had dined with Sir George Mus grave, and did the audience think that such a gentleman would have an impostor at his table ? He (the "poet") had also touched the heart of Lord Lonsdale, who had sent him £lOO. The Close family had always been distinguished—there had been bishops and deans in it, and a t t h e tail end came the poet. Everybody knew that th e t a i l was the best part of the meat. Wordsworth was looked upon as a con sidered " grand, vigorous, strong poetry." got his bi g pension. His writing was then great man when he very strop rid' st rong t h at some peop l e could not swallow Oh yes, it was it. But " Poet Close " had his admirers. The Archbishop of York, who was next in rank to the Princes of blood, bought all his books and paid for them like a man. The Bishop of Carlisle could take books as presents, but he could not pay for them. He (the "poet ") had never seen the colour of the latter bishop's money, and he did not think he ever should. Bishop Percy had once invited him to take a glass of wine with him, and laid a sovereign on the table for him which he put in his pocket, just be cause it was a bishop's sovereign. Spurgeon was proud as ever he could be —was as proud as a turkey-cock— and had s en t t h e " poet " six stamps for a book which he had forw ar d ed to him. When at the Lakes he had seen there "a rev eren d divine, a doctor, all the way from Scot land, who p reached great things, and talked of visiting the poor and such like, but he had not a penny to give to poor Poet Close." The poet was afraid to go within half a mile of the great man's shadow. But "Poet Close" was not to be despised. His name was on the Government papers, he had corresponded with royalty, with dukes and with duchesses. There were many who had Smiled on the poet in the hour of his need, And thus he must style them true friends indeed. When at the Lakes he had been called out of his bed to go and amuse some men in the hotel. He would have scorned to have gone if he had not needed the money, and he often took money from persons just to let them see that he bore them no malice. articleslN CEN T v li as A m L oapme ea: manufactured INDIA.—.At of men belonging to Kamptee, nine from the City of Nagpore, in odn T tra H: InSaCl:TaiaS exhibition. GREYS reftswas held in tho Regi mental school-house in the grounds, round which large n th e e sd l a s y t , b o at e ta 2 l 3 io d n o o f f A th;S s c t o l t a s st G . tents had been erected for the acc ommodation of visitors. The buildings and- entrances to th e grounds were handsomely decorated with flags and evergreens, and the bands of several regiments were in attendance. The concourse of visitors, chiefly from Ramptee and Nagpore, was ve ry large. At three o ' clock in the afternoon general and Mrs. Shubrick and the guests invited to be pre sent, entered the reception tent,-where they were received by Colonel the Hon. C.D. Plunkett, commanding the battalion, Major Wi • the President of the E x hibi tion Committee, and the other officers of the regiment. In a brief address General Shubrick declared the exhibition opened, after which the visitors proceeded to in s p ect the objects exhi bited. They were very varied. Sergeant Taylor, the master armourer, exhibited a breech-loader whi c h h o h ad made, by a simple process, out of an old Enfield rifle. In the shoe makers' and tailors' stalls there were articles of dross of every kind. Some ornamental furniture in tho carpenters' depart ment would have done credit to any London cabinotmaker's shop. A turning lath in motion attached to this depart ment delighted the native visitors. Br us h es , ropes, photo-. graphs, drawings, models of ships, carts, and carr i ages, and a newspaper written and printed by the men, were among the most attractive of the objects exhibited. They were executed in a workman-like manner, and displayed much taste and skill. The native visitors seemed much intere s t e d in the exhibition, and all the articles comp os i ng i t were speedily disposed of. Tho exhibition remained op en d ur i ng the week. On Wednesday evening the officers gave a ball at the Mess-house, on Thursday the sergeants gave a similar entertainment at their Mess-house, which was at tended by many of the officers, and on Saturday prizes were adjudged to exhibitors whose contributions were considered to deserve special commendation. The whole affair was most successful, and appears to have given great satisfaction to the people of Nagpore, wh ere a s i m i lar ex hibition on a larger scale is to take place at Claistmas.

Sir,—ln consequence of the lamented death of the Right lion. Lord Viscount Palmerston, the Master of this corpo ration, I am to signify the desire of the Board, that at your station the Trinity colours be hoisted half-mast high from sunrise to sunset, and so continue each day until after the funeral of his lordship shall have taken place.—l am, sir, your humble servant, P. H. BERTHON, Secretary. —To the Principal Light Keeper at the Li ght - house. —To the Officer in ch arge o f the ---- Light -vessel." MISS BATEMAN IN DUBLIN. —Speaking of iss Bateman's perfo rmances of Fazio at the Theatre Royal, the Freeman says—" The actress who could realise such a conception without once suggesting a doubt as to the truth of her portraiture, and who could accompany such sublime anger and grief as Bianca displays, with atti tudes and expression so noble and appropriate, may well expect to gain the highest place in her profession. Her only difficulty consists, not in representing, but in finding a character." The Irish Times say—" It was a triumph of art Worthy of the highest praise that we could award it. Although we have on ordinary occasions a strong objection to performers being "coiled out,," wo believe that that honour conferred on Miss Bateman at the close of each act last eveni ng was well deserved and in good taste." ACCIDENT TO CHIEF JUSTICE ERLE.—Mr. Justice Byles mentioned yesterday, at the Judges' Chambers, that Chief Justice Erie had met with an accident by a fall from his horse. Ifis lordship was better, and it was expected that he would take his seat at the commencement of the ensuing term. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HARROW RACES AND STEEPLECHASES. TII UItBDAY.

A splendid autumnal morning caused 'natters to assume a very different aspect at Harrow on the second day of the meeting. In place of the heavy rain of the previous day the sun shone brilliantly, and as might reasonably be ex pected the company was greatly in excess of the opening day. The racing was good throughout the afternoon, and the meeting terminated without any of those unseemly " wrangles" which so frequently disgust the frequenter of the minor gatherings near the metropolis.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF A CONVICT AT CHATHAM. —During a thick fog at Chatham on Wednesday morning one of the convicts, named John Milton, attempted to effect his escape from the dockyard extension works, upon which he and several other convicts were employed. At the time of putting his plan into execution Milton was enaged in assisting to unload a barge alongside the dockyard wall, with the usual number of convict warders in attend ance. In the fog he succeeded in eluding their vigilance, and let himself down to the opposite side of the barge into the water, with the intention of swimming to the Upnor side of the harbour, when on landing he might have escaped through the woods. After swimming out to the middle of the river, and not being able to see before him for the fog, he became alarmed, and his woollen clothes being filled with water and very heavy, he would soon have sunk had not his cries directed attention to him. A boat was immediately despatched to his assistacce, but in the meantime ho had been picked up by a waterman's boat passing over the spot. He was immediately taken to St. Mary's Convict Prison, where he will undergo the usual punishment inflicted on convicts who attempt to escape. It is somewhat remarkable that only one convict has over effectually succeeded in making his escape from Chatham, although there have been numerous attempts. In the case . referred to the convict got away during a very thick fog. THE WYRE AND THE RIBBLE FISHEIHES.--At the Preston quarter sessions yesterday, Mr. Addison made ap plication for the river Wyre and its tributaries, the Brock and the Calder, to be formed into a fishery district. It was stated that at the Lancaster sessions, on Monday, a Pr°F c '" aition was made to the effect that the Wyre shou ld L be joined to the Lune, but it was decided to make the Lune and its tributaries into one district, and leave the N h Vy c r o e urt the consideration of the magistrates at Preston. Townoley made application for the River Ribble , sanctioned the formation of the district.. Afterwards d' trict, un tributaries, to be food into a salmon fishery is was agreed to. ha e v en e der the act of 1865, and a motion to that effect ' T w e ith C i o ts l.

We b elieve, .though a throne for the his lordship has, strictly speaking, 110 legal right to occupy the pulpit and take part in the servic es unless th roug h courtesy of the dean and chapter. Wh en Bishop Ellicott came to reside for a time i n Clifton i n thi s autumn, as he did last year, ho wrote, as before, to the canon in residence (the Rev. Canon Girdlestone), asking that he might have the use of the pulpit on certain Sundays during his stay in Bristol. It is reported that the bishop received an answer to the effect that it would bo inconvenient, and would derange the present order of things at the cathedral, to appropriate any particular days for his appearance in the pulpit ; an d , altogether, the reply was of so discouraging a character, that his lordship determined to use Redcliff church as his cathedral during his residence amongst us. Indeed, he gave intimation to this effect when introducing his sermon at Redeliff on Sunday last. Th e d ean , we un d ers t an d , was cog nisant of Canon Girdlestone's reply, and concurred in it. Report adds that on Sunday the Bi s h o p, j us t b e f ore afternoon u tthe ser vice at the Cathed ra l, wen t i n t o th e Ch a pter-room, b was nature of his interview with the capitular authorities such that he did not remain for service. If the misund er- standing be as wo:ha,ve heard it stated, we deeply regret it, as the place for the Bishop when in Bristol is the Cathedral, and every facility should be afforded him for letting the clergy and the people of the city hear him from tho most appropriate place—namely, the pulpit of the Cathedral.— Daily Bristol Times and Mirror.
