MORNING SUN CORN LAWS AND COMMERCIAL REFORM. PUBLIC MEETING IN SALFORD. MANCHESTER, MONDAY.—OUX sister borough, Salford, with its population of 100,000, second only in importance amongst the manufacturing boroughs to Manchester, held this morning a most unanimous and enthusiastic meeting of the tnhabitants, in the Town-hall, convened by G. H. Hall, Esq., The Boroughreeve, (the head municipal Officer), upon a requisition presented to him, to which were at taebed the signatures of all the leading inhabitants of the boroug'a. The object of the Meeting, as stated in the re was—" for the purpose of considering the present digressed state of the population of this town and neigh bourhood, and the alarming prospects of the approaching winter ; and the propriety of memoralising the Queen, praying her Majesty not to prorogue the two Houses of Parliament un til they have entered upon a full consideration of the Corn and Provision laws, which, with our other commercial restrictions, are, in the opinion of the requisitionists, the main causes of the existing sufferings of the people " There was a crowded at tendance, the large room of the Town-hall being filled from end to end. Upon the platform, near the Boroughreeve, were Sir Thomas Potter, Thomas Bazle: , jun., Esq., Holland Hoole, Esq., R. P. Livingstone, Esq., W. Lockett, Esq., J. Harding, Esq., &c. The BOROUCHREEVE, in taking the Chair, was loudly cheered. After reading the requisition, he ealled on Mr. Hoole to move the first resolution, an announcement which was loudly applauded, Mr. Houle being a Conservative. Mr. H. HOOLE was loudly cheered. Hesspole as follows : —" Mr. Boroughreeve, wnen I signed the requisition request ing you, Sir, to summon a meeting upon this subject, I had no intention whatever of presenting myself to the mee; ing, or making any speech upon the occasion. I have told my tale be fore. I have only to repeat what I have said on former occa sions at meetings in this borough and in Manchester—that our trade is at present in a stale of very deep depression, and that that depression has been snore lasting and permanent than ever any similar depression was known tube, I think. in the memory of the oldest tradesman in Manchester.—( Hear, hear.) I have laid it down as an axiom, which I think cannot be disouted, and it is one which my own observation and experience enable me to place much confidence in, that we never can have a good trade with per manently high-priced food—( Hear, hear)—that, in order that this country may stand as she ought to do, and has hitherto _tool, pre-eminent in manufactures, the people ought to have food at the lowest price for which it can possibly be brought to our doors. And if it be the case that there Are laws now in existence in this country which prevent food from being brought to the labouring classes at the lowest price at ..hick it can be affOrded, then it naturally follows they will have so much less to expend in the consumption of articles of manufactures ; they will be worse clad, the manufacturer will languish, and, at the same time, in consequence of all this, there will be a greater pressure on the markets, and our forei g n markets partake of that depression, which is mainly perhaps found to be pro :owed at home. It is on these accounts, gentlemen, that, without any respect to party, fur we know, and ought to know, nothing of politics, I contend in these questions. I, a; a tradesman largely engaged, as you very well know, in the staple manufacture of this town and neighbourhood—largely engaged in the production of cotton twist, and paying, as ought to do, upwards of 20.000 i. a year in wages--( Hear)— . it is on these acconets that I hire crime forward cn this ocea sioa, I have come forward in times past, to advocate an ap plicstion io the Queen, that she wilt not allow Parliament to be prorogued till they have give!, their full con itteria.thin to the Corn anti P:ovision-laws.—( Api ) The resolution I 'ave to pi-61.0 , e has been drawn u;t by a Committee, who have investigated the -facts; therefore what it stated in it may be fully decentied upon It is, " 'Tat an intensity of distress, unprecedented in this borough. has prevailed cuing the last three years, by which the labour ng classes are placed in a mcst destitute condition, ant! the capital hitherto employed in busi ness has most ruinously diminished. That there are at present of dw-Iling-houses 2,030, and of cotton-mills, factories, an.l mechanics' and other workshops, 74 in number, wholly unoccu pied, which would yield a rental of 27,652/. per annum ; whilst vast numbers of respectable and industrious individuals, who wet , tenants and work-people, ate deprived of comfortable re sidences and the means of labour and support, thus eresender ing disuse and demoralization, and threatening to involve the whole community in general ruir.."—( Applause.) Mr. W. LOCKETT seconded pie resolution. Sir Thos. POTTER came forward to address the meeting amidst great cheering. Sir Robert Peel had determined not to take their case into consideration till next F. bruary.. Now what was to become of the people in the meantime ?-(Laud cries of " Hear, hear.") What ! was nn effort to be made to give relief to the perishing thousands ? Were the people to starve, and no effort be made to ameliorate their condition ? —(Applause.) And this from men who affected to denounce the cruelty of the new Poor-law ! The new Poor-law did affo•d relief in some shape, but Sir Robert Peel's answer was, " wait till February !" The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. T. BA Z LEY moved—" That the existing Corn and other unjust laws which prevent the people of this country from ob taining the means of subsistence in the markets of the world by the exchange of their manufactured produce, together with the taxes exacted from them, not for the benefit of the State, but for the profit of monopolists—(Applause) —are, in the opinion of this meeting, the main causes of the prevailing, lamentable, and heart-rending distress."—( Cheers. ) Baxley, in the course of a stati - tical and excellent speech, re marked—We have been told that other people are unwilling to trade with us, that they will not give us food for clothing, but those who say so do not choose to give us the right—l was about to call it the privilege—of trying to exchange our manu factures for food.—(Applause.) But we have amongst U 3 at the present time a living witness, Mr. Curtis, who has come from America, cro,sing the broad waters of the Atlantic, who has been brought here, like another son of Jacob, to tell the father-land that there is abundance of corn in America—(Cheers)—that there are vast resources in that country undeveloped to feed the people of this coun try for centuries yet to come. The people here and the people there might be made mutually happy, but our un wise laws entail misery here, and raise up to us rivals there, by whom ultimately we may be conquered.—(Applause. ) So long as laws exist, by which one part of the community can tax another part of the community, not for the benefit of the State, but to support some monopoly, the people can never expect prosperity ; and if they would like their interests to be promoted, they must look after their interests.—( Cheers. ) I would advise them to trust to themselves, and never cease from the peaceful struggle in which they are engaged, until they possess happiness and sufficiency of food and employment, and all the comforts of life, which 1 believe to be within the grasp of all if justice be done.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. J. HARDING, in seconding the resolution, alluded to the attempts that had been made to trace the causes of distress to machinery, and said he was at a loss to see what these parties would do with our artisans, supposing machinery were destroyed. Could the agriculturists find work for them ? The resolution was agreed to unanimously. The Rev. J. W. 2.ll.asslE came forward, and was received with great cheering. He said he came because the cry of humanity had entered his ears, and penetrated his heart, and hat it would be a neglect of his duty as a Christian Minister were he to be absent on such an occasion. —( Hear.) Was it not an atrocious thing that every man should not have the power of doing what h liked with his own—with his labour? Why, the very lowest man in the community—and a ducal coronet adorned his brow—he meant the lowest in intellect— (Laughter and cheers)—had asserted this privilege; and why should he have such a privilege, and the industrious, the in telligent mechanic be refused ?—(Cheers.) What the poor man claimed as his own was the labour of his hands, and surely he had a right to the fruits of that. What was the first law of our Creator in reference to remuneration ? "By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat thy bread all the days of thy life."—(Hear, hear.) This was the first principle laid down by the righteous Ruler of the Universe, and the man that turns aside his fellow-man and says, " You shall not have the reward 'of your labour," not merely trampled under his foot his fellow man, equal in the sight of God with himself—(Cheers)—but he rebelled against the laws of that righteous God who had es • tablished the universe.—( Great cheering.) Even the Roy. Dr. Chalmers, who had come forward with a panacea for all the ills of the country, admitted that the Corn-laws were an unjust thing, and admitted that their repeal would" sweeten the breath of society." The Rev. Gentleman concluded a powerful speech by proposing a memorial to the Queen, founded on the foregoing resolutions, to be presented by Joseph Brotherton, Esq. • The resolution was seconded by JOSEPH HALL, jun., Esq., and carried.' A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the 'meeting separated. MOVEMENT IN PAISLEY. PAISLEY, SAT U R DAY.—Arrangements are on foot to call a public meeting in this town, on an early day, to petition the Queen " not to prorogue Parliament till the present unprece dented and alarming state of distress in whiah the nation is plunged be taken into consideration." There cannot be a ; doubt that the sentiments expressed in a requisition such as -the above would meet with the unanimous sanction and approval of the whole population of Paisley. But we are heartless and dispirited, and God knows that ever a com munity had reason to execrate the upholders of the Corn laws, as the authors of more distress than the greatest tyrant that ever breathed—that community is Paisley. For three weeks past, such of our manufacturers as were solvent, and had goods to dispose of, transacted what might be considered a fair business, but this was en tirely to be attributed to the fact th a t a great quantity of manufactured goods, owing to the insolvency of the parties, was locked up ; but these being brought to sale, business is now worse than ever it has been since the present stagnation com menced. Besides, havin g had more f a i lures this week, the num b e rs of unemployed is sure to increa , e fearfully, and where this state of things is to a e:tl nobody pretends to divine. We are now upon the h a u p s r e r d o ah voluntary assessment wish the certainty of t n y ha. ze a ssment to assist the having nearly' ivtes havec h e ful moreover sub- w e lli . c a h most of the i unemployed , and paid as far as they Could. rutted t spent nearly all the money subscribed by the county gentle-len and others, who cannot be always giving. U n d er these dismal prospects, are you not surprised that n 9 out b reak has taken place amongst a body of men, who, though i ngen i ous, pail's- taking, and anxious to gain a scanty livelihood, are unable, by all the means in their power, to provide food to satisfy the cravings of nature ? How can Sir Robert Peel for a moment seek to retain power in the midst of such fearful re s p ons ibili ty - vithout proposing a remedy . , Repose he cannot h ave , an d . this struggle, which is one for an existence, is not to end b y Si r Aohert's refusal to take the state of the country under imme diate consideration. At the usual weekly meeting on Tuesday, the 14th instant, Mr. Henderson alluded to the unprecedented losses and distress in 'which the manufacturing interest was • , molved ; and he was o . f opinion that the sooner this was taken into consideration by Parliament the better. He would, there. - tore, propose that petitions should be presented to the . Queen and the H ouse o f C ommons, pray i ng t h at t h e s t a t e o f the coun try should be immediately taken into consideration before any nror ,, gation or adjournment. do take place. 11.1 r. Campbell, a fory Chartist, thought that there was great need for such a course being adopted by P ar li ament, an d wou ld secon d th e mo tion, which was unanimously agreed to. The petitions having been signed by the Provost, Magistrate, and Council, hare been forwarded for presentation. PUBLIC MEETING AT READING TO MEM ORIALISE TIE QUEEN. Rtantxa, TUESDAY, SEPT. 21.—One of the greatest meetings ever held in Berkshire assembled in this town yester day evening, to consider the causes of the existing sufferings of - the working population in the manufacturing districts, and to memorialise the Queen, praying her Nlajesty not to prorogui. Parliament until a due investigation of the Corn and Provision laws has been entered into. Messrs. Baylis's extern.ive manu factory and, erectin as g in the King' s - road, was granted for the pur pose, it w the that between 1,400 500 *he tradesmen a n d mechanics of the town were present and 1,.0f A Niem Mr.an Havrk es was called to the Chair. 1411 r. W_EFnum said that Sir Robert Peel proposed to dismiss rlfiniimai, arid kaire ttle question o f the people's distress totally undiscussed-for aTeriod of fi ve months.—( Shame. ) He ( $1: - ,li, Peel) blamed thNate Ministry for not investigating ;„,:_ . the subject five years agO,.,and yet, despite the failure of the late harvest, the failure nks in every Quarter, and the pro ' failure of Ta‘v,ufaethres, and the interests of industry, ( , ,ber now coolly and delibei!4ly tells ns that he . hall have no thing to say ahoy' the iArter for period cf five months.— (Hear, hear, hear.) Ht , ' c°"tended, therefo re , that they were adoptiog a proper course in a I drcsahr , her Most Grecian* Majesty ' " 1 " deeply sYmpathisd with the 1 sufferings of her people. It was now useless to address either the House of Lords or Commons. The Lords had been called the " Hospital of Incurables," and he saw no indication, in the present state of things, of anything approaching to convalescence.—( Hear, hear.) It was equally useless to petition the House of Commons, where the landlords had now a makrity of 90, though it was well known how that majority was obtained..—( Cheers.) The Duke of Buck ingham, the head of the Corn-law Monopoly, himself nomi nated no less than seven 314imbers.—( Hear, hear.) Sir R. Peel told the landholders that unless he could carry his measures and act freely, according to his own judgment, he would not ac cept their support. Why, the construction of the present Mi nistry showed at once that his assertion was but a mere clap trap, or delusion. Did they not know that his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Sir Edward Knatchbull were members of that Ministry ?—( Hear, hear.) This illustrated the story of the two tame elephants ; they were afraid of the liberality of Sir Robert, so they placed him between two tame elephants, lest he should become restive for measures of reform.— ( Cheers and laughter.) The Dukes of Richmond and Buck ingham told him, that whatever his views might be, he must be restrained by the power that made him, lest that same power should again unmake him.—( Hear, hear.) After some further observations upon the actual extent of taxation upon the labourer's food, Mr. Weedon read the address to her lla jcsty, which he ultimately proposed for the adoption of the meeting, and which Mr. J. SLEEMAN, in a short speech, seconded. After a :speech from Dr. Perrey, The CHAIRMAN put the memorial, which was unanimously carried amid loud and protracted cheering. Mr. EVERETT, after briefly addressing the meeting, proposed the following resolution :—" That this meeting, feeling a deep conviction of the evil tendency of the Corn and I'rovision laws, and of the great advantage which would result to the nation by their repeal, feel impelled to use all lawful means for obtaining that object." Mr. JAMES seconded the proposition, which was also carried by universal acclamation. Mr. Vs EEDON said a small part of their duty now remained to be performed, to fix upon some Nobleman to present the petition to her Majesty. Every Peer of the Realm had the privilege of commanding an audience with her Majesty, and fortunately for this meeting, there was a Noble Lord in this county—( Bursts of approbation, and loud cries of Radnor") —who, ever since he had occupied a seat in the Upper House, had directed his attention to the interests of the workieg man. to whom he was a sincere and devoted friend. He alluded, of course, to the Earl of Radnor—( Loud cheers )—wl o, he proposed, should be requested to present the address to the Queen, after its being signed by the Chairman in behalf of the meeting. The resolution was seconded, and unanimously carried, after which the meeting separated. BATH. There is a strong and increasing feeling here as to Sir Ro bert's procra-stinating policy. The failure of HobhOuse's bank, which will affect directly or indirectly almost every inhabitant, is believed to have been occas , oned by that restrictive commer cial policy which is closing our factories and starving our ar tisans. A memorial to the Queen, praying that Parliament may not be prorogued until some measure of substantial relief has been adopted, was placed this morning in the hail hall, and has already received nearly 2,000 signatures.

There has been a good demand for yarn since yesterday week, and on Thursday and Saturday last an advance of 1-Bth per pound was obtained on some descriptiens of yarn, which had previously been greatly depressed. Yesterday the demand was not quite so active as on the preceding Tuesday, but the market was perfectly firm and steady. In the goods market there has been a fair de mand for shirtings, domestics, and long-cloths ; and good 40-inch shirtings are scarce, and somewhat firmer in price. Fustia.ns were not so much inquired for as they have been for some weeks past, and printing cloths of all kinds continue dull, and much depressed in price. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, SEPT. 20. We have had a slacker demand for flannels to-day than usual, and fewer have been sold than on former Mon days. The prices continue low, but have undergone no change this week. The wool market has been dull, and prices stationary. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues, under his directions, appear to have been preparing for their appearance in Parliament, as Ministers of the Crown, by a careful stud 3 of Shakspeare, rather than by a diligent regard to the principles of Adam Smith, and other stan dard authorities on political economy, with the principles of which their own difficulties and those of the country re quire they should be well acquainted. The Premier is evi dently inclined to treat the public with a scene from the Merry Wiles of Windsor—he himself figuring, with admi rable propriety, as the thin-witted Master Slender. Such, at least, is the inference to be fairly drawn from his attempt to get through the Session by the help of no thing better than his own say-nothing speech of Friday night ; followed, as it is to be, by the financial state ment of that "great l u bb er l y boy," the Chancellor of th; Exchequer. The whole affair is but a copy from Master Slender's exquisite, and equally promising, plat: of operations :—" I cry Mum, and you cry Budget." While this. pertinacious and insolent mockery of a nation's calamities is carried on by those who are bound by duty, and ought to be prompted by inclination, to apply them selves to diligent inquiry, with a view to their relief, the new Premier is making himself the hero of his own tale —expatiating with characteristic self-complacency on Ins own " honourable ambition ;" and giving the cue to his parasites, who take up the theme, and dilate upon Sir 'Robert Peel's "manly pride" and " honourable ambition." The country will require proof of these inordinate claims to superior public virtue in one who evinces so suspicious an indisposition to do anything which will justify the parasitical commendations of his followers, or the scarcely less extravagant praises he has lavished on himself. 'Words—not deeds---ttssertions, not acts—is the course adopted by the self-eulogizing Mini s t er . A s Sir Robert Peel declines t o supplyc us with matter for present investigation, we are thrown back upon the past ; and are left to reason from what we know respect ing his former conduct. STANDARD.—Of the trumpery commodity, , Mr. Serjeant Wilde—we omit the Welsh pranomen to which he is entitled—of the trumpery commodity, we say, Mr. Serjeant Wild; a great dealer in such wares, re newed his dispensation last night. The grievance with which the ex law officer of the Crown fa voured the House of Commons was the same grit- - ance of which he made so much on Monday--the ap pearance of Sir Edward Sugden in the House (without, however, speaking or voting), although it is be lieved that Sir Edward is to be Lord chancellor ))f Ireland. Serjeant Wilde affected to treat this as a great constitutional question, and ransacked the journals for proofs that, in the opinion of some gen tlemen, as shown in their practice, to be ready to accept an office is the same thing as accepting it. The prac tice of the House of Commons upon this, as upon most other matters, has been inconsistent and unsatisfactory, affording a various and confused store of precedents— just such a repository as a person like Sergeant Wilde must expatiate on with delight. Happily, however, for the country—happily for the House itself— the practice of the House is not law, and never will be law ; the statute is our guide, and where the statute is at an doubtful we must look for help, not from the practice of a body which has nearly every year stultified itself by some illegal extravagance, and which even last night, before Sergeant Wilde was ten minutes done speaking, 'made the awkward confession, that it is not honest enough to be entrusted with a turnpike Bill— it is not to the practice of such a House that we shah look fur help in expounding the doubtful words of a sta tute (if they are doubtful, which w e think they are not. for what has not been received clearly has not been ac cepted), but to the reading of learned and impartial ex positors. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF MONDAY. TIMES.—The public were greatly taken by surprise to-day by the failure of a very old and highly respect able West India-house, Messrs. W. B. and S. Mitchell. The failure of crops in the %Vest Indies is assigned as the cause, and it is thought they are indebted in a very large degree, though not to the commercial world. One of the firm is a Director of the Bank of ' England. Perhaps a more unexampled case of cross-bill accom modation was never disclosed than at the examination which lately took place . before the Manchester Bank. ruptcv Commissioners, in the investigation 0: the affairs of Messrs. Bancks and Co., booksellers, of Manchester and London, who had so managed their business that to the question, " What is the amount of the whole of the bills you put in circulation in London during the tithe that you had been financing ?" the answer was—" The total amount was, on an average, 10,0001. per month ;" while in a prior part of the examination it is stated that " as near as could be told," from 35,0001. to 40,0001. of the total amount of liabilities, which was 51,00C1., no vino had passed. The • system pur.Ated iii r: .•i r:: transactions was of the loosest character, and appears to have been carried on with the assistance of a firm in London (since bankrupts), merely with a view to 'meet the demar ds bha moment, at a reckless hazard of suture consequences, since it could not ever have been sincerely anticipated that such a course would have conduced to sound prosperity. Their accounts were kept in the most complete state of disorder, and letters, and other collateral sources of information, were sedulously destroyed, and all means of giving information were so absolutely precluded, that it was deemed useless to exa mine one of the bankrupts because "he knew so little." Notwithstanding the Commissioners were inclined to pass, and ultimately did pass, the bankrupts, such was the strong feeling of the creditors that they had been the victims of gross fraud, that the same course adopted in the case of the Wakefields of the Stock-Exchange at the London Court of Bankruptcy was resorted to — namely, that of retaining the articles found upon their persons when they make a declaration of the surrender of all their property, which is the greatest indignity that a body of creditors can offer to a bankrupt. We have again to remark on the l.'ngth of time which has been suffered to elapse between the pe riod to which the returns of the Bank of England are made up and the day. on which they are pub lished. They purport to be for the four weeks preceding the 21st of August, and are not inserted in the Gazette until the 17th of September, being a delay of 27 days, and which is three days longer than on the last occasion, when the making up of the returns from so large a number of Banks, and on a new system, might perhaps be supposed to offer some excuse for the time employed before publication. The excuse of novelty can not now be pleaded, and yet they are actually still fur ther delayed than on the previous occasion. We trust that this is not a contrivance of the Bank of England for preventing the public from reaping the full advantage from the new returns. As the matter stands at present, instead of having the return of the last month, we have the return of a period nearly two months back. POST.—At an extraordinary general meeting of the Shareholders of the Commercial Bank of England a state was laid before the Shareholders, showing the position of their affairs, from which it appeared that not ,only was all the surplus fund absorbed, but that one-fourth of the paid up capital had been necessarily employed to meet the losses. After some discussion it was pro pOsed and carried " that the Directors do adopt the ne cessary steps fur dissolving the Company so soon as the debts and obligations of the Bank be discharged. This is one of the ephemeral establishments which so plen tifully sprung up some few years since, and to the work ing of which the embarrassment, not only of the cus tomers, but of the Shareholders, is to be attributed. CHRONICLE.—A private letter, emanating from a highly and influential quarter, and just received from Portugal, announces the important fact that the Pope, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, have ap pointed Ambassadors to the Court of her Most Catholic Majesty, who are daily expected to, pre sent their credentials. It also communicates that - deci sive measures have been taken by t:le Finance Minister :4r endowing the Board of Public Credit with ample means for the punctual payment of the future Dividends on the foreign debt, and pays a well-merited eulogium to the services of Sir S. L. Goldsmid, Bart., for his ex ertions and generous conduct in supporting the credit of Portugal at the worst of times. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY, TIMES.—The announcement from the Treasury has taken the Money Market completely by surprise, so much so that for the last three or four days the general expectat on was that the Treasury would merely take a vote for the amount of the de clared deficiency—viz., 2,500,0001., and tt.at there would neither be a funding of Exchequer Bills nor a loan during the present year. It differs from former announcements o 1 Ihe kind in fixing at once a price for the fundtog instead of leaving that to be det 'rmined by tenders from capitalists and oshe,s - t. The first thing therefore to be considered is. whether the vaitte so fixed bears such a relation to the market'price If the Stock for the day as to make it worth while for the wooled interest to become subscribers. The following calculations; will set this matter in a cl, ar point of view :—Thesimplest'plan is to calcu late the operation on 1,000/ ; and to obtain the average va'ue, it is expedient to assume that the subs , ribers would avail them selves of the option of paying half in money and half in Exchequer Bills, for the nun base of 1,121/. Co, sole, the amount allowed for the 1,0001. -Taking the average price of Exchequer Bills to be 14s. premium, 5001. of these are worth 5031. 10s., and 5001. in money, with the addition of the 12s, per cent., according to the terms of the notice, will be 5031., snaking together the aggregate of 1,006/. It s. Assuming the whole to be paid up on the 27th of Sept, mber, it is necessary to deduct the interest of 20. per diem from that day to the respective days on which the instalments are made payable. This will be— On 2001. to the Bth of November, 42 days £0 15 9 On 2001., to tho 20th of December, 84 days On 200/., to the 31st of January, 126 days 2 7 3 On 2001., to the 14th of Mara, 168 day 5.........., 3 3 1 LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANK., UPT,I 7 , Sept. 21. (Before 31r. COMIIIISSOTIer FUNBLA NQUE. ) THE BANKRUPTCY OF WHITMOR E, WELLS, AND WHIT MORE, BAKKE This being the day fixed for the final examination of the bankrupts, tin- Court was more densely crowded than at the former hearing, and proofs (particularly upon bill.) came in with such rapidity for upwards of an hour and a half that it was as much at six clerks d the solicitor to the fiat could take instructions for the preparation of the proofs and the officers of the Court could pass them through the neces.ary forms. Several hundred proofs having been admitted without any opposition, the Learned COMMISSIONER asked if the bank rupts were prepared with their balance sheet, and was an swered in the affirmative. It contained 79 of the largest folio pages we ever remember to have seen, and from the follow in_ abstract the numerous creditors of the bankrui,ts may firm a tolerable estimate of what their dividend is likely to amount to. It is said that the separate estate of Mr. Wells, sen., will pay 20s in the pound : _ _ BALANCE SHEET FROM JAN. 1, 1832, of Edward Whitmore, 8 16 shares; John Weds, 5 16 shares; Fred-rick Whitmore, 3 16 shares. Commenced business as bankers, Jan. 1, 1820, at 24, Lumbar'-street, under the firm of Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore. On the Ist of Janua: y, 1826, John Wells, jun., became a partner, when the firm was altered to Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore. ' No share was a-signedto him. The former parties had their respeclive in terests continued as if there had been no change of partnership and the profit was divided accordingly to the Ist of January, 1641, and since that period no &vision was made.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (YESTERDAY.) OLD CO UltT. (Berore Mr. Justice MauLE and Mr. Baron ' OLFE.) AILIADER ON THE HIGH :% , EAS.—ltithlrd H. Langley, .a sailor, aged 26, was indicted for the wilful murder of James Dixon, on the 16th of May last, on the hi‘ih seas. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Doane appeared for-the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantyne defended the pri.oner. Mr. ( HAMBERS stated the case to the Jury, and called the following w,tnt sses Thomas Evans, examined by Mr. Doane.—Was a ssaman on board the vessel called The Leopold tie la Rosa, ss hich was bound from Monte Video to Havre de Grace. The priso , er at the bar was second mate, and Dixon, the deceased, a common seaman. On the loth of May his watch was from eight to twe.ve at bight, on deck. The prisoner was on deck during that time. He gaveorders to the crew to sing out every half-hour. Dixon the deceased was at the wheel then. Ihe prisoner also ordered the flying jib and other sails to be taken down. Dixon was there also, and the prisoner gave him orders to clap on the tackle fall; Dixon said to himself then, he could tot see why he should be humbugged in that way. arid he would complain to the Captain ; he went towards him. The Captain was then lying on the hen-coop. Witness did not hear what Dixon said to the Captain, but he heard the latter tell him to go to hie work, and upon Dixon saying he would not, the ..aptain pushed him and struck 114 n on the face ; a scuffle ensued, and whsle this was going on, the prisoner fetched a capstan bar out of the rack and struck at them, but which he struck witness could not say. After this Dixon ran forward and the Captain ran down to his cabin. and when he came up he had two pis tols and sword in his hand ; he riu forward, together with the prsoner, after the deceased Did not see a ything more till Dixon was brought on deck. Fait of his entrails were then hanging out. The prisoner and the Captain wt re by him. Dixon was taken down to the steerage, when the prisoner said, "No one should see him but that he should die like a dog." The Captain at the time had the sword in his hand, and the prisoner and the chief mate bad both of them pistols. The same even ing all hands were called down to the cabin. The Captain was there, and told them to look at his head, where there was a wound, which he said had been done by Dixon. The wound appeared as if it had been done by a hand-spike, and not a knife. Did not see a knife in Dixon's hand before he ran forward. Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantyne—When this occurrence took place they had been out at sea six weeks. The Captain was a Frenchman. At Monte Video the crew had been sticking out for more food, and Dixon used to grumble very much about it. Never heard him say he would scuttle the vessel. Witness had signed a paper, but could not tell what it was. Dixon, in a former part of the voyage, had been put in irons, and two others of the crew, a Spaniard and a Scotch raani had also been put in irons. Did not ace an.d struggle betweon the mate and Dixon. Did not hear the mate cry out that Dixon had a knife in his hand. Reexamined by Alr. Doane—When they grumbled about food, the crest said they Were not treated as ti.ey were on board the English Vesta John Harris was one of the cte* of the vessel.

The second mate then seized a capstan-bar, made a strike with it at Dixon, but struck the Captain. Dixon then struck the second mate, when he said he would sand a knife through him. The Captain then Weht ihto his cabin, and brought up a sword and two pistols. One of the pistols he gave to the first mate, and the second male took the other from him, and ran forward. before the Cap tain parted with the pistols he cocked them. Dixon at the time was in the forecastle. All three ran forward to the wind las end. The Captain hauled off his waistcoat, cap, and shoes, and ran forward towards the scuttle end of the ve-sel, but he did not see him go down. The Captain cried out where is that son et a b---, and the second mate said house him and haul him up: Saw Dixon brought up stabbed, when the Captain sait4 Den't let:any one go near him, 1, t him die like a dog. Before Dixon died they were all called on to see the cht oh the Captain's head, Which he said Dixon had dell. With a knife. Had heard Dixon say he came from Exeter. Witness came from South Wales. Dixon used al ways to pass as an Englishman, The prisoner had told him that he tattle from Cheshire.

Witness had tint quietened *Ail the oilicets.in harbour, bUt diti about. the grub. The passage was an ttnusttally long one, and some of the provisions were spoiled. When Dixon said to the Captain he could not do the work, ihe second mate said, " You had bettersay you won't go it," One of the trey, a Spahisittl, corroborated the evidence of the two last witnesses. David Burns w.,s also one of the crew of the Leopold de la Rosa. When witness came out of the head, he saw Dixon run down into the forecastle. The Captain came torward with a drawn sword, and the two mates had a pistol; the Captain called out for Dixon, and this went down into the forecastle hatch. The two m a t es s t oo d on the deck by th e h a t c h. Th e Captain jold him to go below and upon his Sa)ing he could not do s ), the Captain struck him with his sword. Witness then said are you going to k:11 all on board, on ~hik h the second mate said if he said another wutd he would blow his brains out. Witness then went beluw, and he saw Dixon lay ing with his ens rails hanging ont. He then ran up stars, and cried out Dixon was dead, on which the Cap am said let him die like a dog, On cross-examination the witness said the prisoner had told him he came from Cheshire, but had been br.ught up in America. J. Hunter. who was also one of the crew, gave similar testi mony. When the Captain came below he catched Dixon by the throat. He took his swird and run it through his body twice—once by the navel and once in ihe groin. he t aptain then went on deck. Witness got out of bed and laid the de ceased on the forecastle deck The Captain and the. Mate then called out to bring Dixon upon dick, aid when they said they cauid nut, as his entrails were hanging out, the captain and mate said, " House him on deck." Dixon tiled the same night. Cross-examined—Did not see the prisoner bring the de ceas, d a blanket. There was some grumbling about the George Spiers, who was also one of the crew, corroborated tke eviVence of the last. witness. Was sure that it WAS ti,e pri soner at the bar who said " if you cannot get Louix up, get some tackle and bous, hi.ii ti:." Cross-examined—On the voyage the crew knocked off work once, and also' in the harbour, because they did not like to go out to sea unless they had a long boat. Wm. Brown, Francis Habit, and Wm Ruby, all of whom belonged to the crew of the vessel, gave similar evidence. .tir. Buchannan, a passenger on beard . t he Leopold de La Rosa, heard the prisoner say that the person who rendered Dixon any assistance was a dead man, lie al•o stated that he was glad the captain had done it ; at the same time he said he was sorry that he had not had an opportunity of doing it; for if the captain had not done it he would certainly have done it himself. Cross-examined—Wa s formerly a cabinet-maker at Monte Video, and went to Havre de Grace on a speculation with some wool. On going to the Consul at Havre for a passport, he was requested by him to attend at the Home-office for the purpose of giving evidence in the present case. Had had some words with ti:e second mate. Re-examined.—Was in Havre three weeks beWre he applied to the Consul for his passport. Napoleon Denchenon, a Canadian surgeon, corroborated the evidence that had already been given as to the unfortunate IVEW COURT.. A relectable looking woman. named Eliza Paul, was in dicted for steal:ng a purse,containing two soy, reign , , the pro perty of John Kemp. The pros-cut.kr said, that, on the 15th of September, about nine o'clock in the evening, be wag coming down r rld Fish street-hill, when V e prisoner walked up to him, and took the purse and money from his pocket, after hustling him for a few seconds. Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the di - fence, and cross-examined the prosecutor at much length. In reply, he sail he was per fectly somr at the time, and sought uo familiarities with the prisoner. . . . City Police Constable 386 deposed to taking the prisoner into custody, and finding two sovereigns and ten shillings in silver in her pocket. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the jury for the defence, and said he should he enabled to prove that the prisoner was a ee.pe,s table widow residing at. Reading, at d had only arrived in Lon don about two hi.urs previous to the time named in the indict ment, and also had Feenty of money of her own, so as to ren der the commission of the act with-which she was charged ex tremely improbable. It was rather singular that an able-bodied gentleman like the prosecutor would allow a female to handle him so quietly as he slid.—['tlr. Kemp, who seemed not to relish the badinage of the Learned Counsel, here looked up towards the gallery. ] He (Mr. Phillips) dared say that the prosecutor looked up th , re to see if Mrs. Kemp was listening to his interesting tale, and how far her faith in his explanation wouH reach.—( Loud laughter.) Several witnesses having been called, who gave the prisoner an excellent character, arid said her frienis were highly re spectable, The t 'ommorr SERGEANT summed up, and The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was sentenced to three months'. imprisonment atnt hard labour. . . _ William fa/Jason w as indic:ed for stealing one pocket hand kerchief, the property of Wm. Henry Green. It appeared in evidence that on the 17th of • eptember the proecutiir was walking through Fleet-street, and teitling a tug at his pocket he turned round, and saw the prisoner running away. Verdict—Guilty. Four months' itnpr6onment and hard labour. _ Elizabeth Fry and Sarah Stuart were indicted for stealing one pair of trousers, thr, e apt, ns, five towels, and other ar tick, the property of Henry Phillips. Nina Phillips stated that she w .s the wife of the prosecutor, who lived in Steven's-street, Tottenham-court-road, and placed the articles named in the indictment in her kitchen. On the night of the 9th of Sept , mber and the following morning they were gone. 't-he (lid not kit:Air how the kitchen could Le entered. Pocock, of the F bald he was called to ar est the prisoner Fry, who stiempted to pledge the trousers at a pawn broker's in Broad-street, St. Giles's ; after which he went to his lodgings In Buckeridge..street, and there found some of the articles named. I was told by her husband that Stuart brought the articles to his room. The husband was examined before Mr. Jardine, and his deposition taken at length. The C334MON SERGEANT said there eppeat•ed to be no evi dence against Stuart, as the man Fry's depositions could not be considered as legal evidence. With regard to Fry it was possible she might have been sent by another party to pawn the trousers, and he, therefore, considered it would be wrong to convict her. The Jury, under the direction of the Court, returned a ver dict if " Not Guilty." Joshua Sabberton and George Hollis, respectively describ:d as a cabinet-maker and a bedstead-maker were indicted for stealing a quantity of wood, value 205., the property of Mr. L ) o s and another, their employers. Mr. PHILLIPS conducted the prosecution. Mr. Robert Lyons stated that he was a cabinet-maker and upholsterer. in Holborn. The prisoi.er Sabberton was in his employment, as foietnan ; and Hollis worked with him, as journeyman. On the 27th of August, having mi-std some woad from the workshop, he proceeded to the house of a man named Mackie. in Baldwin's-gardens, and there saw the prisoners with a cart o *hick soon afterwards moved away, and witness d until it reached the re,iiience of sabberton's father, in Hackney, When he called in a policeman, and upon examina tion found the property mentiored in the indictment, which bore the private mark of his storeroom. He then returned to his workshop, and gate the pi isoners into custody. On the alttwing morning Sabberton addressed him a let ter, confessing his dishonesty and imploring furg,vene,s; but at the Same tittle protesting that. Hollis acted in the transaction W;thOii , gamy guilty hnow:eage. Mr. Si his • usher appealed to defend Hollis, contended that his client acted under the direction of Sabberton, who had a superior si , nation in the works end that there were no marks to show the wood was other than what was usully sent out from the workshop in the way of business. Mr. CHAbwICK, for the prisoner Sabberton. called a number of tresses who gave him an excellent character. The Jury returned a Verdict of Guilty, accompanied will a recommen dation to mercy in Which the prosecutor joined. The COMMON SEgngANty addressing the prisoners, said he had a rule laid down with retired to the inthetien of punish.• ment on servants who had robbed their masters, which he seldom departed from. In sutra cases he never inflicted less than six months' imprisonment; but, in coniequence of the recommendation from the Jury and the pre...cut"r, he would sentence them to only four mouths' imprisonmeZt,and hard labour. 11 illiam Gray. a very respec'ahle-looking young man, was indicted for unlawfully obtaining, by fatse pretences, two pieces of linen, value 61., the property of John Lee Abbot and another. Mr. BODKIN, who appeared for the prosecution, stated to the Court and Jury that the prisoner called at Mr. Ablett's shop, ai.d said he had an order from Lord Stratford to send sonie linen, for his Lordship, to No. 6, Portman-square. The prosecutor suspectoig that ft tlAnd was hit. nded, upon sending the linen a, directed, also sent a no' e to the effect that it was to Le given to " the bearer, N't illiam Hall," which wa, placed in the hated of h,s Lord-hip's butler, who %vas not to deliver it withent a chip! cat.- f this let , er Leine b ought by the person 100. h (the linen) to be given up. 1 tie prisonor called the next. niottiLg for the linen, which was handed ever to him, and a policeman beim; iii %mewl he was given into custody, when he said he a- going to deliver Attach the goods to Mr. Abiett.

Alderman Wtescie said that the idea of placing coalowners and factors upon such a Committee as that mentioned in the petition was, in his opinion, quite preposterous A great deal had been dune, and coaes were much lower than they would have been if loud complaints bad not been made, but if a Corn • mittee were framed fur the object stated in the petition, coals would fall very low indeed.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTE\IBER, 23, I ii Total.. £7 17 9 Deducting this total of 71. 17s. 9d. from 1,006/. 10s., the remainder will give 9981. 12s. 31 as the price of 1,1211. Con sols, which is at about the rate of 89 1.16 per cent. Consols fell per cent. on the appeal ance of this notice, i. e. to 89i forming nearly the whole of the advantage, com pared with 894 to the closing price of yesterday, to be de rived from the conversion, and hence the general feeling in the city is that subscribers to the amount required will not be forthcoming at the time appointed. The Minister, it is ob served, ought to have foreseen, from observation on the pre vious state of the Consul marker, that some decline must necessarily follow this announcement, and should have made his calculation so as to allow for that decline, and to leave at least a small bonus for the contracting parties. They would have been content, it appears, with a small bonus, say of one half per cent. but under this operation, taking the current quotations of the day, there is little or no advantage in the conversion over an immediate purchase of stork. We rather incline to the belief, however, that the prof.osed conversion will succeed. As a financial operation, without any reference to terms, it is a judicious one, and brought forward at a very proper time, sinee the market for Exchequer Bills cannot fail to be materially relieved by it, so as to allow any vote of credit that may be taken to be represented by fresh issues of Ex chequer Bills without any undue pressure upon the money Market generally. The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mile, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 32i, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 37i, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 428 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 jd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 61, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 61, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh., The c - inrse of exchange at New York on London is 109 per cent. , . and the par of exchange between En g l an d awl America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex- change is 0.58 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being fee bills at Mt days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the aforesaid difference. CHRONICLE,--The scheme has been brought forward seasonably enough, in so far as to give employment for our spare ftpital at home, instead of allowing it tit seek invetstrneht itt Paris ; but at the present price of the French tt en t es , th ere is not much fear that the Ba n woeld have had a great deal to dread from that source, The terms on which this funding is proposed do not affbrd tempting prospects to subscribers; for; by receiving 1121.25. of 'three per Cent. Stock for eVery 1001. of Exchequer Bills and the premium, they vrotild get neither more nor less than their stock at the closing prise of the day, at least, there is not above ntressitteenth of a margin. Had the Chancellor of the Htellequer allowed 1121. 10s. of stock for tire loot. of Exchequer Bills and the pre mium, he etneld have found his lists far retire Speedily closed. 'the Stock Exchange connet be eirpected to come forward readily on such very clogs They Will haVe to borrow the money or to turn it hilt olf other investments, should they subscribe largely, and the Inlirance Companies, on whom great depenstente is 'laced, have not very powerful inducements to make them go largely into the funding. Their operations lately have shown a desire to get rid of Stock for mortgages, so as to convert a portion of their stirphis capital into permanent annuities. The 13abic of Issue retain their chequer Bills to meet any sudden return of their httes, and for that purpose Exchequer Bills are more Convenient than any other species of security. 'What further influence, however, this project of the Chancellor of the Exchequer may pre duce upon this Money Market will depend mach ttpOn the class of 'sten who take the s ~Isatriptibn. The matter has probably been concocted previously with the flank Directors, who will help the Tories throligh the gutter. The object of the measure is clear ettottgii. If the whole amount be taken in Exchtipiel' Bills, and the funding goes on to that extent, then new bills will be issued under the sanction of a vete of teedit to the same amount, perhaps t and thus, while $,000,1-001. will be added to the funded debt of the extent. try, the addition to the existing debt would be represteted by the amount of new bills so issued, and which, under the lowest computation, will amount to 2,500,0004 If, on the other hand, one-half, or 2,500,0001., should be paid for in - money for stock, then Mr. Goulhtten will ot the amount of the deficit of the year in cash, and will be able to obtain another 2;50:000f, by a re-issue of new bills in lieu of those that Would be funded; but, under any circumstances, a ro-oi creation of 5,000,0001, of Stock must be the result, while the yearly deficiency of 2,500.000 i. of retellue to meet the expenditure of the coun ry will remain Untouched and unprovided for. These proposals fora funding constitute, in fact, "temporary provision" to meet the deficit of the year, announced by the Premier on Friday, and which will be submitted to the House of Commons fo r approval, we perceive, in a few days, by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. HERALD.----It was generally believed that the publication of this funding business was somewhat hastened by the intelli gence of the French loan forthcoming upon the market, but it is evident from the deplorable condition of the Treasury, as in herited from the late insolvent Ministry, that it is an operation which could be no longer delayed, if means were to be pro vided for the public service. The large masses of unfunded securities issued and left discreditably afloat by the late Chan cellor of the Exchequer did not admit deny other alternative, for no more issues were possible unless by raising the interest upon them again as th late Mini-ter had so recently done, without which they must have fallen to a discount as before, which would render mere issues impossible, however indis pensable for the supply of the temporary exigencies of the State. Raising the interest was, of course, out of the question, as the rate at present is beyond that of Congo's, which may be adduced as another mis chievous consequence of the financial blundering of Mr. Baring in constantly resorting to Exchequer lei is upon every pressure for money, without caring to provide the means for redeeming and cancelling any portion of the over-issues subsequently, so as to keep the quantity afloat light, under controul and at a lower rate of interest, and therefore less burden upon the Treasury. It is probable that to carry on the public service some two or three millions will be required to be raised between the present time and the Lext session of Pailiameni, before which brief period it would manifestly, be absurd to expect from any wisdom or skill however consummate the considera tion and cumbinatitai of any safe plan by which the finances of the country can be extricated from the almost irretrievab.e confusion in which they are at present involved. It may be in contemplation to raise the amount so required by issues of new Exchequer Bills to the amount, gradually and as they may be wanted. POST.—The plan has been favourably received, and the pe riod ,ver which the payments will extend will prevent any ex treme tires• urn on the Money Market. On the Stock n twill rate r d a i t s e al poiot the Ex change, t a ki ng the difference of the rate of i n t erest an d t h e cent. of Thisthe conve ss s il io l sadly r premium th e bill s at present bear, it is considered that the pro posed proceedingConsolsat B h 9 op 3 e - s of m per many gambling jobbers who were anxiously waiting the appeaiance of a loan ; and from which great expectations had been formed of being able to influence the Market to some considerable profit.
