Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Mariborough-street. IN RE WILLIAMS AND MOTTRAM. The further consideration of this case came on to-day pur suant to adjournment, and the Court was densely crowded during the examination of the bankrupts. M. Maynard attended fur the assignees, and- Mr. Wright ( the barrister) for the bank, Nits. Mr. Charles Moitram was then sworn and examined. You have put in your joint and separate balance sheets, and do you Low desire to pass upon them ?—Yes, I do ; but subject to such explanations as th e quest i ons put to me may require. You take credit for goods; French goods, which were lost, to the amount of 6151. Were these goods paid for ?—I had nothing to do with the purchase of those goods, or the vale of them. lam sure of the loss, and equally sure that the goods were paid for. Did you enter in any book your purchases?—l did not, but a purchase book as kept. You put down 5,752/. as your profits ; how do you account for that ? From the profits in each department, arrived at in the best manner we could, namely, looking to purchases and sales in the whole concern. We cannot distinguish the par tieu'ar pieces of goods upon which there was either a profit or loss. though the result would be the same in -the whole of our dealing. I believe there was a loss (if we can - get at it) of net:rly 16,C00/. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—How, then, do you take stock? —We did not take stock. Our whole profits were, as I have before stated, 5,752/. 15s. 6d., and our losses 10,086/, and upon the whole of our trading nearly 400,000/. I believe my stltements to be correct, but I did not keep the books, and pur chases might not have been entered, although they were paid for. I cannot tell whether the goods, for which the 615/. is taken credit fur as a loss, were entered in the purchase book or not at the time they were lost. Your private balance-sheet commences in January, 1840, and ends Dee. 18, 1841. Do you mean that to represent the a hole state of your affairs within those respective periods ?—I do so, and I mean to rely upon it. Do you mean to say you had no money on the 18th Dec., 1811 ?—I mean to say that I have accounted for whatever I had. I may have had some money for my wife, or for my own expenses, or paid some to parties to whom I owed money. Js it a true entry that 197/. was paid on the 3d Nov. for dra pery ?—The entry is not true, as appears by the cash-book ; but let me explai n . W e h ave acknowledged, by Mr. Williams and myself, that we had taken out sums from one date to another, as specified by him. We each took down our private debts, which we paid out of the moneys received by us in the manner already stated; and I admit that the moneys received from Messrs. t:uwper, and Messrs: Martin, Abbot, and Co., were divided between I'!i. Williams and myself in the gross, fo,. the purpose of paying our separate creditors, and pro viding something fur our families. The cash-book shows (not correctly, however) how it was drawn rut, not how the money was received, but it does show that we had the amount as put down.

Was Mr. Turner at your house on the Sunday before you stopped payment ?—I swear distinctly that he was not at my house. Williams never suggested that we should stop the French goods from coming over, but he was most anxious to have them in, and said, when he received and sold them, that he was sorry they were not for ton times the sure, and, as we were obliged to stop payment, he added he was very sorry he was in such a predicament in having so small a sum, and he should have liked to have let that d—d Gore in for 10,000/. and the Frenchman as much (this was on the evening of the 3d of November). - - AND DEAFNESS CUBED!

Regent-street, near the Circus, Oxford street, W. C. JAY and CO., proprietors.—The managers of the above establishment beg leave to call the attention of ladies to its peculiar utility, and to the advantages presented by their undertaking. It has ever . been a source of inconve nience and regret, on occasions when mourning attire is re quired, that its purchasers have at such a time been com pelled to the harassing necessity of proceeding from shop to shop in search of each distinct article of dress. This evil is now most completely remedied at the London General Mourn ing Warehouse, where every description of mourning, milli • nosy, dresses, cloaks, mantles, shawls. &c., of the best qua lity, can be purchased at the most reasonable prices, and every article necessary for a complete outfit of mourning, may be procured at a moment's notice. The millinery rooms contain an assortment of mourning bonnets, caps, and head-dresses, with a well-selected variety of skirts for first and following rnournin . z. This dressmaking is superintended by an expe rienced artiste. Does your joint balance-sheet show what bills, for which you may be liable, were accommodation bills ?—I believe so, for 9,4351. for overdrawn acceunts. You made a great many payments for salaries about that time to persons in your employ—now, I wish to know if these sums were actually so paid ?—Every one of them, and all at the usual rate, except one, Mr. Withers. Do you know anything of the sa l ary b oo k as ment i oned by Mr. William s ?—Yes, Ido, and I have it in Court. So much for the lase statement made at the last examination, that it was burned by Mr. Jonas. Every one of, my young men is pre pared to swear to what salary he has been paid. The official assignee said the 'book now produced was not a salary book, and Mr. Williams said it was not the book he re ferred to, for a part of it was now out. He was also ready to swear that Jonas told him the book was burned. The bankrupts here entered into an unpleasant altercation as to the books ; and after some further questions, Mr. Commissioner EVA NS said, I shall not remark upon your conduct (addressing himself to Mottram) ; but you must do all you can to satisfy sour creditors. You must give a better ac count of the moneys you have drawn out, and of their specific application, and if you think you can be ready with these ex planations by this day week, you can come before the Court again. _ _ ----- THE ROYAL MARRIAGE PICTURE.

The House of Commons has just published a paper entitled "Property -tax Bill, arrangement of clauses." This is a sort of synopsis of the measure, and ought to have formed part of the Bill when, it was laid on the table of the House ? Why did it not ? Because the Tory workmen, with all their Ifeasting, are no better than bunglers. They disdained/to follow the Whig ex ample, but they have in the err' been compelled. Pretty work, too, they have made, of this synopsis. It is as great a bungle as the Bill, 'out it is useful, as giving us a bird's-eye view of the dr,formities of the hated measure. It begins by stati'ag the objects of the three first clauses, and then says—" Schedules A and B, Rules for estimating the duty contained in Schedule A, in respect of the 14roperty in lands and tenements, and in Schedule B, in respect of the occupation thereof —page 32 to 46." Now that is a general head, and we naturally supposed that the whole of the Bill relative to these mat ters was to be found in these pages. The c orrectuess of The First Report of the Children's Employment Com • missioners has just been published. It relates to mines, and describes the ages, sex, number of children who work in mines, &c. The Commissioners, among the conclusions which they draw from the evidence supplied by their Sub-Commissioners, say that "instances occur of children being taken into the mines to work as early as four years of age, sometimes at five, and between five and six." " A very large proportion of the per sons working in the mines is under thirteen years of age." "In several districts female children begin to work at the same early age as the males." " Parish apprentices are bound to serve masters in the mines till they are 2 1 years of age." " There is no skill to be acquired, and they secure only food and wages/ The children must be in the pit as soon as the work of day commences, and they do not leave the pit before the work of day is at an end." " They are excluded from light, are without companions, and, except for the passing of the coal carriages, would be in solitary confinement of the worst description." " These children are compara tively dull, cheerless, and stupid." "In some districts they remain in solitude and darkness during the whole time they arc in the pit, and never see the light of day in the winter season for weeks together, except when there i s no work going on in the pits, and on Sundays." " Both sexes are employed in the same kind of labour,. and work together almost naked. The men are sometimes stark naked. In many mines night work is organised, which is very injurious, especially to children and young parsons." " The regular hours for work are rarely less than eleven more often twelve, and in some instances thirteen." We must, however, stop, having quoted a small specimen of he Commissioners' important conclusions. The evidence, in which an extensive.. account is given of the triode of working in the various kinds of mines, is much more curious than the conclusions of the Commis si, iicrs. We will quote a single specimen : "I visited the house of the parents of a little boy," says Mr. Sub-Commissioner, " whom I saw keeping a door dawn Flat worth Pit on the 20th of May. It was about seven o'clock on the Sunday evening, and the boy was in lied asleep. His mother said he was aged about six years and seven months, and he had been down the pit about a month or six weeks, Always puts him to bed early, because he might get up every working morning at throe o'clock, a.m., and goes down the pit' at four. A. 31. He gets his dinner directly he comes home, about half•past four, r.m. or a quart er to fi ve, r. m., and then he w as h es hi mse lf and goes to bed, between six and seven; so that he will never be up more than two hours from the pit for eating, washing, and playing. When his son gets a little more hardened to the pit his father means to send him to a night school and stop an hour off hie sleop. The nit dues not hurt him, but makes him a little whiter, and perhips a little thinner. He was a fat boy when three years old." The evidence is illustrate] by a considerable number of cuts, to show how the work is carried on in mines, and those who do not feel the degradation to which females are exposed in the pit, dragging along coals on their hands and knees, with a chain fastened round their waist, and passing between their legs, may, perhaps, be struck and affected by the plates. If nature be not kinder to 'those poor infants than man, or even than their own parents, and do not temper their lot by that benevolent principle :by which she adapts man to circumstances, their condition must be truly pitiable. We trust, however, that it is not so bad as it looks —than the apparent exoess of hardship, going to it so young, makes use a second nature, and renders_ the infants indifferent to that which to us appears an overwhelming evil. If the mines be One of the sources of England's power and wealth, they are also, as at present worked, a source of great moral degradation. That a Commission should have been re quired to bring these facts to light, is not creditable to the clergy. of the Church of England, one of whom is in every parish, and amongst whose flocks all this occurs. They ought before now to have made all England ring with their loud and indignant expostulations against the slavery of the mines. From whatever source the informa tion is derived, the public will receive it greedily, and le thankful to the. Commissioners who, by making then acquainted with the matter, have placed it in their power to lessen, if they cannot extinguish, the shame of binding infants of such tender years to such extreme drudgery. NA vAr, 13roGnArne.—If there is one clam of na tional biographical literatnre Which appeals more strongly to the feelings of Englishmen than another, it is certainly' that which pourtrays the career of those heroes who " have made their home upon the waters," and raised our little island to its supremacy among nations by their noble courage, unexampled skill, and adventurous daring. It is, therefore, with no little gratification that we learn tha,t a Life of the celebrated Ad miral Keppel, written fr;.,m most authentic and interesting sources, by his desestadant, the lion. and Rev. Thomas KePrel (son of the Earl of Albemarle), is shortly to be added to dew list of memoirs of our distinguished naval commanders. It will no doubt be found worthy of a place in every library, on the., same shelf with the Li ves o f C o ll iagwood and Nelson.

Sh e h a d b een f or some t i me very much attached t o a y oun g man living in the same neigh.. bourhood, and believed the attachment was reciprocated. On Sunday or Monday last, however, she became convinced of the reverse. The disappointment reduced her to a state of the most abject despondency. On Tuesday morning, h av i ng oh twined som e poison in an apothecary's establishment in (ray's inn -lane, she mixed it with some water and drank it. T wo o f her friends saw her taking the draught, but had no idea of its fatal contents. Soon after she told them; and medical aid was obtained, but it proved ineffectual.

But we find subordinate heads under Schedules A and B, "Rules to be observed by the assessors iumuking the as sessment, of this kind of property,". which is clause 47, t.) be found at page 26, and not included within the general heading. That shows that both Bill and synopsis are jumbles. Again, the clauses Which refer to the Commissioners and their duties range nearly all through the Bill ; thsLy amount to no less than 45, in every one of which some thing is said of these Commissioners, and they in-' elude the fourth and the one hundred and eighty-sixth clauses. So with respect to Schedule D, which so deeply concerns the bulk of the traders of the empire. We ex peetel to find from this synopsis all the N Rules fo ascertaining the duties on profits of trades and profes sions," according to the reference, between pages 68 and 4 ; but, on looking over the clauses, we find them run ning between pages 68 and 95, and amounting to not les than forty-two. Yes ; forty-two complicated clauses, scattered through twenty-seven pages, must the unhappy traders study, to know the rules by which they must guide themselves in making returns in order to be taxed, or, like camels, kneel down that the Tory satraps may mount on their backs. As we have before said, the Bill is a horrid jumble, dr.- . .wn up without any guiding principle, or any regard ti order and znethod. Being complicated, if not abso lutely incomprehensible, it is a proper instrument for the tyrant to work with who insists on fleecing us by an Income-tax. It is a huge piece of mysticism, expressly calculated to confuse and perple x plain men, and place them at the mercy of the subtle tools who will have to inform this dead mass %shit their living eninning. It is bad enough, we think, for men to be the slaves of some splendid though perhaps brutal tyrant ; but to be the slaves of incomprehensible jargon —of a thing called an Act of Parliament—is worse than being the slaves of the Grand Turk. Men may understand why they must give up their money or their lives to him—it gratifies him per sonally ; but they cannot understand the advantage of giving up their property and their liberty to a-disorderly mass of gibberish. In the hands of SoLON, LITURCES, or MOSES, legislation was, at least, intelligible to their 30)- pets, but WE are called upon to obey lags we cannot comprehend. With singular vanity, too, the clodpole repress ntatives of a few counties, and the money -gathering representatives of a few towns, imagine that the mantles of these great lawgivers have fallen on them, and that their incomprehensible rubbish is to be obeyed and honoured, and revermsced like the rules of the most profound wisdom, or the decrees of inspiration itself. They may find themselves deceived. There are indications at Nottingham, Norwich, and other places that a »thing obedience will not be ren dered to this slovenly piece of Tory tyranny. It is one thing for the House of Commons to ordain an Income- • tax in time of peace, in order to maintain the Corn-law and the sugar monopoly: it is another and a very diffe rent thing to collect the money. _ -e• - • • -,, , • , • , , •r • • !r • r • , . . , 47 . ;4 • 7 'l4 l : 1 • ' it , • ..-•,-- ti: ,14111111 k . / 1,1 41 1 _47 1 90k, af•• l . ~QN D *!)i I.IIJ P l io 1 " S N 9 11.14 AUKIV OOD'S STANDARITSriSV.MTLS, Publishing in Monthly Volumes, price Six Shillings each.
