Mr. WAKEFIELD stated, that an application had been made to the Vice Chancellor to allow an attachment to - issue against Mr. Hurtley, the plaintiff's solicitor, for not putting in an answer to a second supplemental bill. Mr. Hurtley had given notice to discharge an order to that effect which his Honour had made, and which motion Mr. Horne was to make, but that Learned Gentleman not being able to attend, the attachment would issue, un less stayed by his Lordship, for which the Learned Counsel now applied. His LORDSHIP inquired when it was expected Mr. Horne would be able to attend. Mr. SUGDEN said Monday. His LORDSHIP directed the issuing of the attachment to be stared till then. EX-PARTE HAWKINS IN TOE MATTER OF HOWARD AND GIBBS. Mr. BICKERSTETII said, Mr. Treslove, on the other side, had intimated to him, that they preferred an issue to an action, consequently he had to ask that the matter might stand over till Monday, that the terms of the issue might be considered. Mr. TRESLOVE could not consent to an action, inas much as the bankrupts would then have to be the de fendants, and would be witnesses against the plaintiffs, the assignees. His LORDSHIP intimated that the plaintiffs would have to make out a case of fraud. Mr. TRESLOVE was aware of this, and he apprehended the issue would have to be, whether any thing was due, and what, to the claimant, at the date and suing forth of the commission. His LORDSHIP ordered it to stand over. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT. EX-PARTE ACTON IN THE MATTER OF ACTON.-EX-PARTY HALLWAY IN THE MATTER OF ACTON. His Hotior a at the ,sitting of the Court gave judgment upon these petitions. The main facts are shortly these:—Acton, and a Mrs. Studd s having ,been engaged in partnership buSiriess, a bill was filed by the two latter praying a disso lution of the partnership and an account. A receiver was appointed by the Court, but before he could succeed in winding up the partnership accounts, Acton, the bankrupt, proceeded over to Calais, for the purpose, as he in his petition alleged, of going on to Paris to see his (laughter, who was then at school there. Shortly after this Halliday, his partner, sued out a commission of bankruptcy against him, and the object of the bankrupt's present petition was that that commission might be super seded. This was prayed on two grounds, namely, that there had been no sufficient act of bankruptcy, and that there was not a good petitioning creditor's debt. With respect to the first ground, it was alleged that the object of the bankrupt's visit to France was not that of delaying or defeating his creditors, and that his continued stay in that country was caused by illness, and partly by certain proceedings instituted against him in the police -courts of France, for the recovery of the partnership books which he had. taken with him. It was argued, that even if the object of the bankrupt in leaving this country had bee❑ to carry off the books from the receiver, and thus to withdraw himself from the jurisdiction of. the Court, still that such a with drawing Was not an act done "to defeat or delay" creditors within the meaning of the Bankrupt Laws. It was also urged, that Acton li.td in effect ceased to be a trader upon the appointment of the receiver. Then as to the next objection, that there was no good petitioning cre. (liter's debt to support the Commission, it was argued, that no debt could be sufficient for that purpose but a strictly legal one, such a debt as could be enforced at law. Now in the present instance, the debt was said to arise out of the partnership dealings. Had Hal liday commenced an action at law for the recovery of such a debt, the Court would have enjoined him from proceeding ; and if he would not be allowed to pro ceed in that, the ordinary course, it was contended that a fortiori he ought not to be permitted, by suing out a commission of bankruptcy, to jump at once both to verdict and execution. This principle must apply still stronger in a case like the present, where there was a suit pending, the main object of which was to have an account taken, and the interests of the several partners thus ascertained. It was further urged, that the commission ought to be super seded, inasmuch as it had not been sued out for the general benefit of the bankrupt's creditors, but for the sole pur pose of forwarding the interests of Halliday, the petitioning creditor. In support of this last position, it was stated that al though two meetings had been advertised, not a single creditor had attended to prove his debt under the com mission. Messrs. ROSE and KNIGHT appeared for the bankrupt, and Messrs SUcOEN and ROLFE were heard for Halliday. The VICE-Cirawcitu.on, in giving judgment, said, that from an examination of the affidavits on both sides, he was convinced that Acton had continued in France for the purpose of delaying his creditors, and that he thereby committed an act of bankruptcy. It appeared that before he went there lie sold off all his furnitu re an d e ff ec t s; h e gave up his residence in thi s country, and, if he merely went to see his daughter, it could hardly be sup posed, that he would have acted in such a manner besides, it did not appear from his affidavits, that he had proceeded to Paris, where his daughter was staying. The next question was, whether there was a good petition ing creditor's debt. It was admitted that Acton had passed a bond to Halliday, and the only question for the Court to consider was, whether it appeared from all the circum stances, that the bond was so much confounded with the partnership dealings, as that Halliday could not have brought lan action at law on it. In his Honour's opinion he might have so proceeded, and indeed the bankrupt did not deny that he was indebted to Halliday. The second objection must therefore fall to the ground. The last question was as to the object of the commission. Halliday distinctly swore that it had been sued out for the general benefit of the bankrupt's creditors, and for no other purpose than that of securing the payment of their debts. Under all the cir cumstances of the case, his Honour was of opinion that the bankrupt's petition must be dismissed. His Hosioun granted the prayer of the second petition, which merely required that Halliday might be allowed to go before the Commissioners and prove the amount of his claim of 2,0001. against the bankrupt's estate, for the purpose of voting at the choice of assignees. Mrs. Studd claimed 1,000/. and was alloived a similar permission. COURT OF RING'S BENCH.

A RABIN. ) William Buller stood indicted for stealing a large quan tity of household furniture and wearing apparel, in the dwelling-house of Jonathan Tibbs, the property of John Sandy. It appeared, that he was a lodger, in the same house with the prosecutor, and took an opportunity of strip ping the room 'of the latter. When apprehended, be con fessed the fact, and said, that he had been driven to it by distress. Several witnesses gave him an excellent cha racter, and it appeared that he had a wife and eight children. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing under the value of W. (Before the Juno Es.) Anthony Bernard stood indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Thomas Dale, four five pound. Bank of England notes and other 'monies, the property of Francis Joseph Laine.. The prisoner, who is a foreigner, made his , election to be tried by a Jury composed entirely of. Englishinen.- 'The reader will doubtless recollect, that he is. , the'same person who possessed himself of the order for thepitypient of 800/. from-the Gloucester Coffee-house, Piccadilly; - - -- The prosecutor stated, that he is a gentienianof inde pendent fortune, and came to London on the 241 of January from Paris. He put up at the Gloucester Cdffee-house, which is kept by Mr. Thomas Dale ; had been there be fore in the month of October. The prisoner was there also at that time, and witness saw him almost every d:ty ; being a fellow-countryman they soon formed an acquaint ance, and on the morning of the 13th of November, the prisoner came to see him in his room ; witness had a pocket book containing four 51. notes and some papers, and also a purse which contained between 6/. and 71. The pocket book was on a dressing-table, and the purse was in a chest of drawers. Had occasion to leave his room for a short time. Though the prisoner had been in the room three or four times, he was not there at that time. Soon after his return he missed his pocket-book and purse, and informed the landlord of the circumstance. The prisoner was gone and he never saw him again until he was in custody. He saw his pocket-book when the prisoner was before the Ma gistrate. He also saw a five-pound note, the number of which he knew. It was 16,644. Several other witnesses were examined, to trace the notes to the possession of the prisoner, as well as other articles which were stolen, which was done most satisfactorily. Mr. Justice PARK charged the Jury at considerable length, and without hesitation they found the prisoner Guilty. The prosecutor then applied to the Court, and said, that he understood the English Jaw was much more severe than the law of France, and he therefore hoped that his Lordship would recommend him to the mercy of the Crown. Mr. Justice PAKK asked him if that was the only ground upon which he could recommend him to mercy ? The prosecutor replied, that in France the punishment for such a crime would be eight years' imprisonment to hard labour, and he believed that the prisoner was not aware of tire extent of punishment to which he was liable for the commission of such an offence. Mr. Justice Put said, that that argument would apply to many persons tried in that Court, for few of them were aware of the extent of punishment to which they would be liable. The prisoner must have known that he was doing wrong. However, his recommendation should be men tioned in the proper quarter ; but he must observe that the case-was a very bad one. John Jones was indicted for stealing in a dwelling house 101. in silver monies, and divers articles, the pro perty of John Dixey. • The prisoner resided inktsarne room with the riose cutor, and the money w as taMtil•frin the box of the latter. The case was clearly made Out against the prisoner, and the Jnry found him Guilty of the minor offence, the capi tal charge not being made out, in consequence of the fol lowing little circumstance :—The indictment stated that the monies were stolen in the dwelling-house of William Hollet, but there was no evidence to prove that the Chris tian name of Hollett was William. The capital charge was therefore abandoned, and the prisoner was found " Guilty of stealing." NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant ALAEIN.) William Nelson was indicted for stealing a watch-chain and seals, from the person of John Ferguson, a carpenter. The prosecutor stated that he was drinking on Christmas eve, at a public- house in Regent -street. He was shut out with the prisoner at twelve o'clock, and they both knocked to get in again. After a few minutes knocking, the prisoner snatched the prosecutor's watch and rau off. -The other ran after him, calling out " stop thief," and without losing sight of, overtook him in- about 100 yards, by the prisoner falling down. The watch was found afterwards near the spot. The prisoner in defence said, that he had been drinking deeply at the time, and was unconscious of having done any ill act, and called several respectable persons, who gave him a good character for the last sixteen years. He was also pro-red to have been quite drunk, the same as the pro secutor. The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty," but recom mended him to mercy on account of his previous good character, in which recommendation the prosecutor joined. William Carey was indicted for stealing a stove, the property of Moses Woolf, on the 13th of September last.— " Not Guilty." He was then tried on a second indictment, fur stealing a hearth-rug, value 155., the property of Isaac Isaacs. The prisoner was a casual porter at sales, and was em ployed to protect the rug during the sale, but WIL9 missed and the rug lost. The Jury found the prisoner " Guilty" on this charge. DON MIGUEL. Viscount Beresford and a select party had the honour of dining with his Royal Highness, on Wed nesday, at the residence of Earl Dudley, in Arling ton-street.

After riding round the drives of the Park, the Prince returned to Arlington -street by way of Portland-place arid Regent-street, after a ride or upwards of two hours. _ In the evening his Royal Highness entertained a select party to dinner.

PLaxxsTrox Sluaaas.—No particular anxiety to pur chase has been shown this week, but some steady business has been don• at; last week's prices : up to this afternoon only about 2,000. hhds., had been sold ; the strong work , ing qualities are scarce, and fetch high prices in propor. tion to those of the grocery. descriptions. The deficiency in stock has this week increased 1,100 casks, there being now 9,553 hhds. and tierces less •in the West India Dock than at this time last year ; but although there is a great deficiency in the numbet of packages, it is doubtful whe ther the total quantity of Sugar imported will not be fully equal to the importation ,of last year, as the weights of the casks generally this year are much heavier than those of the last, and as ships continue to. arrive almost daily. The public sale of 5627 bags Mauritius Sugar brought forward yesterday went off very irregularly, some of the good qualities fetching very full prices, while others barely supported those of the last sale.

RUINED SURARS. —The dems.nd for Luz@ for de livery in the beginning of March is rather extensive, and for which the buya-s are offering Is.' 6d. to 2s. per cwt. above the present market prices ; but the Refiners do not generally enter into these contracts, probably from the un settled state of the Raw marker, the prices of the qualities fit for the pan having rather advanced, and anticipating a brisk trade to the North •in the spring; the market conti nues to be scantily supplied from the few houses that have been working lately, which appears to have brought the Grocers forward to purchase mere freely than for a length of time past ; the buyera of crashed also appear to have been induced to execute sot,:e their orders, consequently a good deal of business has been done. CorrEn.—l26 casks and 433 bags Plantation, prin • cipally Demerara and Bnhiee, of the qualities suited to the home trade, were offered by public sale this morning, and taken off by the dealers at very full prices ; two small par cels of Foreign also have been sold by public sale this week, good ordinary Brazil a SBs. to 38s. 6d., and good ordinary St. Domingo, rather broken, a 38e.

Futrar.—There appears to have been rather an exten sive purchase of new Currants made this week, but the prices have not generally transpired, some, and probably the whole, have been sold at 905., the present reselling price is 945., in small quantities : there are two arrivals this week, one for Bristol, and the other waiting at Fal mouth for orders : in the other descriptions there is no thing doing : the demand continues very dull. SPICES.—In Spices there is no alteration of consequence to notice. Pimento remains very heavy. Pepper for shipment is in demand at the former prices. The delive ries this week have been above 1,5001b5. The deliveries of other East India spices have been also extensive. Russ.—The business in this article is not extensive, and the price of Leewards rather heavy. The comparative stock is about the same as this period last year. Istmco.—The last advices from India stated that the crop of Indigo would amount to full 130,000 maunds._ Prices are • heavy. The quantity of Indigo sold by the East India Company in the last year, was about 16,600 chests, and there remained for sale, on the Ist inst., 5,490 chests. The deliveries since .this day week, have been much larger than usual; viz. :—about 30,5001b5, a large portion of which.is for exportation. Saltpetre has shown rather more activity, but the prices are not higher. The delivery in the week ending last night, has been 1,300 cwt. Woot..—The transactions in both Foreign and English Wool are upon an extensive scale, but prices remain im movable. By the large imports from Hambro', it would seem that the former accounts from thence, of a abort stockovere not founded on fact. The total quantity im ported since this day week, has amounted to not less than 161,9941b5. The deliveries from the warehouse in the same space of time have been 134,0351b5. RusstaN PRODUCE.—TaIIow remains without animation at about the prices noticed in tha former report. The de liveries in the week ending last . night, have been 3,394 cwt. Hemp and Flax are firm. The arrivals of the latter this week have been about 1,600 cwt. The deliveries of the latter are large. Bristles are heavy of sale. Some sales have been made this week at prices full 10s. per cwt. under what might have been obtained for them two years ago. The deliveries since this day week are 102,7521b5. Tobacco.—The deliveries in the'week ending last night are about 105,0001b5. Business in general is not very ac tive, dthough prices are low. The stuck of Tobacco in Londor is about 2,000 hhds. under what it was at this time last year. The demand for RAW SILKS continues steady, but merely for speeulation . on account of the low stock. East India Silk is much waritell, and pikes from 2s. to 2s. 3d. per II!. higher than given st the last sale are offered. Italian and Turkey raw Silks continue still in demand. The manufacturing departthent, however, has not in any considerable degree experienced the effects of the improved demand for' raw silks. In fact the weavers in Spitalfields are badly employed at the former very low prices. The imports of raw Nilk from the continent are very extensive, but French manufactures do not come in so freely as in the autumn of last year. There are, however, large quantities of French silk goods in the country, most of which must have been illegally introduced. If this system could be put a stop to our own trade would be much more brisk. CorroN.—The business done this week i s limit e d, but the Prices in general remain much time same. The exports of Cotton goods 'continue, acid large quantities are shipped almost daily for nearly all parts of the world. Yesterday there were entered for exportation to Calais 300,200 oz. of forei'm Gold and Silver coin. This is the only entry for the shipment, of specie this week.

HOUSES AND 'CATTLE MARKETS OF LONDON. The Provisional Committee of Gentlerpen inte rested in abating the nuisance of the slaughter-houses and cattle -markets of the Metropolis, held an open meeting last night, at No. 12, Regent -street, for the prpose of receiving the report of the Sub-Corn n:ittee appointed at the last meeting. It will ti;-! recollected that the Sub-Committee were requested to examine into, and report on, the state of the slaughter-houses and cattle-markets, as far as they were injurious to the health and convenience of the it:habitants, and to state how far the establi - ihment of abattoirs, similar to those of Paris, would be-cal culated to abate the nuisance. The publicity given to the proceedings of the for mer meetings of the Committee has, it appears, created a great stir among the butchers of London, a considerable body of whom held a meeting a day or two back, at which they resolved that the object proposed by the Provisional Committee would be injurious to their trade; and appointed a Select Committee of their own body to watch over and oppose the proceedings of the said Provisional Com mittee. As was expected, the meeting of last night was attended by several butchers from different parti of London, who fairly stated their objections to these members of the Committee in attendance. Soon after seven o'clock the business of the even ing commenced. The Chairman (Mr. Mills) stated the object for which they were assembled, and called on the Secretary to read the report of the Provisional Committee. The report briefly stated the incon venience to which the public was exposed, from the practice of driving cattle through the crowded streets of the metropolis. It pointed out the disgusting nuisances arising from having slatighter•hoeses in crowded neighbourhoods, and the injury done to the quality of the meat by the present practice of over driving and other unnecessary cruelties inflicted on cattle before they were slaughtered. ro 'abate these nuisances it recommended the establishment of public slaughter-houses at different stations in the vicinity of London, on the plan of the abattoirs of Paris. At the conclusion of the report, a variety of objections were made by several hutchers, a half - dozen of whom were often speaking at the swig time. The sum and substance of most of these were, that the taking from the butcher orgrazier the pOwer of slaugh tering cattle at their own slaughter-houses, would be a great injury to the trade,--that it Would tend to increase the expellee, and thereby raise the price to the consumers,—that it would injure the quality of the meat to have it taken, particularly in summer, from the slaughter-houses to the shops of retail butchers living at any distance; and that it would tend to establish a monopoly iii some districts, as the cattle for the supply of the London markets are, for some months of the year, all brought from ono part of the country, and must, according to the pro posed plan, be sent to the slaughter-house nearest that place at which they arrived. To these objections it was replied, that the but chers would riot be put to more inconvenience by taking their meat home from • public slaughtet-houses than they are at present by taking it borne from Smith field, Newgate, and other markets. Some of the butchers strongly objected to the term abattoir, as French, and gravely asked, why could not the good old English word " slaughter-house" answer as well? They could not, they said, agree to any out landish terms, or any outlandish fashions in killing their cattle. The chairman got rid of this difficulty by stating, that if the nuisances complained of could be abated, the gentlemen.connected with the trade might call the new establishments by any name they pleased:':. He added, that there was nothing new ill the plan . npw, r proposed, and r ea d an extract f rom a work just - Villlished by Mr. Hakewill, cc On the Abattoirs of Paris, with Considerations for their• adoption in London." The object, he said, was to get rid of a nuisance disgraceful to a city like Lon. don. It was wished to do this with as little incon, .venience as possible to the butchers and graziers, and for that purpose every suggestion of theirs would; be willingly received. Several other gentlemen gave their opinions in favour of the proposed plan for abating the nuisances complained of; and it was observed by some, that if Mr. Vallance's plan for producing a low temperature could be applied to public slaughter-houses in. hc l t weather, it would be an advantage which ought to make it the interest of the butchers themselves to join with the Committee. Some of the butchers remarked, that if that cou4l be done it would certainly be a great beneficto the trade and to the public, but they expressed their doubts of its practicability. The CHAIRMAN said, that at present the Commit tee had nothing to do with any pin. They merely wished to bring the subject before Parliament. After some further discussion the report was re ceived, and the meeting then adjourned. The Earl of ELDON came to town yesterday and rumour attaches some importance to his return, NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JAN. night the entertainments at the Theatre Royal here were under the patronage of JosErn PRICE, Esq. of Gateshead, on which occasion the house was a complete overflow, • the receipts being upwards of 1001. Two-thirds of the pit were filled by Mr. PRICE'S operatives, who assembled at the Glass Works, and marched in procession, headed by a band of music, to the theatre. Their appearance was highly respectable. On recognizing their worthy master in a box near the stage, they simultaneously rose and gave him three cheers, which Mr. PRICY acknowledged very becomingly. The play was " Guy Mannering," in which our old favourite Mrs. GARRICK appeared (for the first time these three years) in the character of Lucy Bertram, the songs of which she executed with her customary sweetness. Th e , novelty of the night, however; was her daughter (Miss GARRICIZ) who sustained in a very respectable manner the part of Julia Mannering, and who appeared for the first time before a Newcastle audience. This young lady, who, sans flattery, can boast of a handsome person, displayed considerable talent in the musical art, and we have no doubt, her voice being sweet, flexible, and somewhat power ful, but she will ere long attain to high rank as a vocalist. She was meal applauded iu the songs that fell to her lot 4s Julia Mannering. MELANCHOLY ACCI DE NT IN'THE PA RK. -Yesterday morning a melancholy circumstance occurred in the Park, the lifeless b o dy o f a p e rson of the name ,-,k SCOTT, was found lying at the botto!rt.of a delf, ne'f:r the upper end of Mill-street.
