EVENING SUN SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROAI THE DAILY IiAPEES OP YESTERDAY. GLOBE..—There is no sure ground for infer ring more from the Duke of Buckingham's re signation than that the-most extreme and oh sti uate adherence to monopoly is abandoned. So much, we think, may clearly be inferred from the incident —whether anythiag more, a day or two will now disclose to us. We are not fondof gratuitous imputations of trickery to poli tical leaders; and we shall not say that a trick is intended in the very act of this resignation' But Wale resignation is not a trick, as we wil. not suppose - it is—must not the. appointment have been one? Have not the Farmers' Friends" been bamboozled? Have not the county elections been gained on pretexts wilier were never meant to be acted on ? Has not the Duke of Buckingham's " following" (whether tho Duke himself or not) been intentionally blinded by his admission into the Peel Cabinet ? If the Prime Minister always intended, as we have no doubt he did, to alter the Corn-laws in a manlier which it was certain, at all events, the Duke of Buckingham could not subscribe to, was there not something of unworthy artifice in his Grace joining the Ministry at all? We do not stop to ask whose was the artifice . —whether his Grace was imposed upon, or whether, which is more likely, he allowed himself to be utilised with his eyes open. In that case, the Corn-law party in the counties have been the dupes; just as the Malt-tax party in the counties was duped. about seven years ago. It has been rumoured that - the Duke of Wellington, with that sense of just.ce, the strength of which has survived the full vigour of his other faculties, remon strated against deserting that party, which he said, " have stuck by us." Deserted, however, it is now perfectly clear that party will be — and the effect o f t hi s d esert i on on T ory un i on is yet to be seen. With us, however, party objects sink into absolute insignificance, com pared with the question—ls Sir Robert Peel prepared to do anything effectual for placing the trade in corn on a safe and regular footing with Europe and America? Having kicked his Corn-law ladder from under him—having cut his Corn-law colleague adrift—is he prepared boldly to throw himself on the support of the enlightened of all parties ? If he had strength of will and judgment to doso, he might be sure ofa rich reward—whether in long duration of power or no---in the esteem, and restored prosperity, of his country. Sir R. Peel calls himself a friend to free trade in principle. From its enemies he now stand's separate, at least by one step, in ac tion. Will he now prove to the world that what ever artifice—whatever complaisance—whatever make-believe he may have employed to concili ate class-interests in his favour, he had worthier ends in view than to rule but just better than their worst dictates? Will he prove to the world the truth of his assertion, that he bad no other motive in seeking power but to use it for the weal and the safety of his country ? This is in his power! It is in his power to conquer oblivion for all that has been questionable, for all that has been egotistical in his past course. STAN DARD.—The place occupied by the Duke of Buckingham and Chantlos in the esteem and affection of the country naturally causes his Grace's retirement from the Ministry to be the occasion of great anxiety. On the one side, all who with ourselves remember the long and faithful - career of the Noble Duke, his ta lents, zeal, and energy—and beyond these, his unspotted character—all devoted to the best interests of the people, and, through this devotion, so eminently contributing to purify and restore the Conservative party—all who remem ber these claims of-the Duke upon public confi dence would view with dismay his Grace's secession from a Ministry which we believe to be the. best - that Parliament can afford, were the secession founded upon any differ enee in principle. For ourselves we will not disguise the truth, that in a difference of principle between the Duke of Buck ingharn and Chandos, and any other statesman or number of statesmen, we should scarcely hesi tate to take our part with his Grace—so high is our estimate of his sense arid patriotism. On the other side, the - enemies of the Conservative cause rejoice at the event, as proof of divi sion in the Conservative ranks, and feeling all the value of the Duke's connection with any Govbroment, exult in' his retirement from the Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel, as a symptom of its approaChing fall. There is, however, no reason for fear upon the one side, or for exultation on the other. The difference between the Duke of Buck ingham and Chandos and his late colleagues is not a difference of principle, not even a difference of principle in the lowest detail in which principle can he possibly involved ; least of all is there such a dif ference as can divide the Noble Duke front the party with which he has hitherto acted, and which owes so much to him. The retirement. of the Duke his own act, an-act resolved upon by him in opposition to the earnest and an anxious re monstrance of his brother Ministers; and it is dimply a sacrifice to personal honour—to a feeling that a public man ought not merely to maintain his professed opinions firmly, a 3 long as con scientiously he can, but also obviate the sus picion of abandoning them upon any unworthy consideration. This is a determination which must command the admiration and gratitude of all, how much soever its effect in the particular case may be regretted. How much of disgrace would have been spared to public men, and how much of evil would the country have escaped, if all public men had always acted io the spirit of this determination? We may easily suppose that Whig-Radicals cannot understand the con duct of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos. COURIER.—Last night's Gazette affords the first proof, and we hail it as an auspicious corn menceieent, of the Colonial Secretary's labours in the promotion of colonial prosperity and of colonial immigration. Although the prepa ratory steps announced in the Order in Council the facilitating, and therefore encouraging, the iminigration of free Indian labourers into the Mauritius, may he considered as the maim trunk of the great scheme for carrying out colonial emigration on a large scale, presumed for some time past to be in the con templation of Lord Stanley; if' not already suffi ciently perfected in its details to be laid before Parliament, yet as one of the offshoots of such larger scheme it may be accepted as initiatory evidet.ce that the whole question of emigration will at length be embraced, grappled with energetically, and, we doubt not, all its man if o ld diffi cu l t i es and complications mas tered by the manly inind now fortunately pres idi ng over the Colonial department. The example of what is now done for Mauritius we take to be of good omen for the cause of im migration in the West Indian colonies. We flatter ourselves that this is but the first of a series of measures by which the interests of those colo nies, and those of the magnificent colonies of Great Britain at large, are to be relieved from their present state of depression, and again re stored, reinvigorated and flourishing, to the rank they once held among the first elements of na tional greatness and wealth, when the " ships, colonies, and commerce" of Great Britain were the boast of the land and the envy of the great Napoleon. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) IliticliEsTnn.—There was nut the slightest improve ment in the market yesterday ; on the contrary, the demand was limited, even at the very lowest prices yet known, with a tendency to further decline in some Reticles. The country trade is also, we regret to state, exceedingly inactive ; and loud complaints are heard on all Ades of the small amount of business now doing by the parties engaged in it. ILYDDE ISFIELD MARKET, FEB. I.—There was very little change in the state of the market; at gny rate it was no worse — perhaps even a little better, fa which there is ample room. In fact, so indefinite and inde scribable is the state of trade, that the difficulty of honestly I.portitio• the markets is any thing but a sine cure. Trade is bad, destructively bad ; and it is vain to expect a permanent improvement until our very absurd and suicidal fiscal system is revolutionized, or abolished} altogether. There is a demand, certainly, for a large amount of goods ; but the prices are so low that were it not for temporary existence, it were better to cease wo.nufacturing. It is pitiable to contemplate the fall of many honest tradesmen, in despite of all their persevering efforts to weather the trying long storm. Roc lID•LE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JA N. 31.—. We have had today a very dull market; the business done has been very limited ; and prices, as usual, ex tremely lobe. Wool has be e n v er y l i ttl e inquired after; prices stationary. After the dejeuner a l f Mayoress , ourchetk Lord Mayor and the Lady May oress which the had the honour of giving to his Majesty King of Prussia l on Sunday last, at the Mansion-house, the ;Mayoress presented be e in d e e different to his Majesty a copy of the BmiiblgebYitn lan guages, and requested that it in the his Majesty's return P :t s o it a l s - Royal Library upon domi nions.

Falmouth harbour, while on her voyage from London, and that on the night of the 25th, while the Captain was on shore on the ship's bu=iness, the mate and crew got her under weigh old sailed off with her ; and, notwithstanding the most diligent ,nquiries, nothing could be learnt of her till her arrival here. At the sitting of the Magistrates this morning, the Captain, who had arrivei here by coach, applied for warrants to appre hend the mate and crew, on a charge of piracy; and their Worships having granted him the assista , .ce of a body of the police, they went on board, and captured the mate, John Mar shall, and five men, named John Gower, James Hamager, David Gravel, Michael Berry, and John Isaacs, who were (traightvray conveyed to the justice-room, and placed at the bar on a charge of pi ra ti ca ll y an d feloniously running away with the vessel. The captain, Mansfield, having been sworn, deposed that on the 25th ult., the Brisk schooner, of which he was com mander, was lying in Falmouth harbour. Witness had occa ion to go on shore on the ship's business ; he sent some fish and other things on board • and at length, seeing that a heavy gale was (liming on, he and the masters of some other vessels agreed that it would not be prudent to leave the harbour that evening. At about ten o'clock he went to look for his vessel, and she was gone. He had never given any permission to the prisoners, or any of them, to sail without him, and, by so doing, they had revolted against his authority. Upon being called on for their defence, the.mate, Jahn Mar shall, said the Captain went on shore under pretence of buying half a yard of canvass, and remained on shore all (lay. There were a great many of the vessels in the harbour getting under weigh, and he said to the men, " I suppose we shall have the Captain on board presently," and told them to set the foresail and make ready. At ten o'clock, finding that the Captain did net come on board, he got the vessel under weigh, and sailed, as the vessel would have drowned in half an hour. Mr. George (magistrate) said, if he had weighed anchor for safety, he ought to have beat about for awhile, and then returned. The Mate said it was ebb tide; besides, they (the men) were paid by the run, and they were not going to be kept there while the Captain was taking his pleasure on shore. Resides, the owner told him, if the Captain was incompetent, to take the command. The Captain denied this, and the owner, Mr. Williams, having been afterwards sent for, denied it also. He said the Mate told him the Captain was not competent, to which he replied, " But you are, and you can suggest to him ; and surely both of you can bring the vessel round'?" Mr. Burges, Magistrate's clerk, said if the vessel had been lost the matter might have been serious to the owners, as the Captain not being on board the insurance would not have been payable. Mr. George said it was a case of piracy, for which they were all liable to be hanged. They must be taken round to Fal mouth, to take their trial for that offence. The owner, Mr. Williams, said he should not press the charge against them. The Captain said be moat certainly should. Indeed, he was vatisfied that Lloyd's would prosecute. The Magistrate said the police should assist him in taking them round to Falmouth on his paying the expenses. The prisoners were then removed in custody, with the ex ception of the boy Isaacs, who was discharged. SALVAGE OF THE IOSPEROUS.-A question of salvage was also heard before our Magistrates to-day, which excited a good deal of interest in the mercantile world. The vessel saved was the Prosperous sloop, from Bristol to Bridgewater. She was the property of a shipowner named Stevens, and had on board a cargo of timber, belonging to Mr. Ennett, a con tractor on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and a small quan tity of wine. The salvage was claimed, on the one part, by seven men, named henry, Charles, John, Edward, and Hob er t B acon , Wm. Fry, and Wm. Loscombe; and on theother part by the owners of a steam-tug boat called the Tiger: Previously, however, to its being brought into Court, some arrangement was made with the latter parties, and the case was only heard with reference to the men. Mr. Wasbrough, of the firm of Wasbrough and Stanley, ap peared for them ; Mr. King for the owner of the cargo ; and Mr. B. Smith for the shipowner. It appeared from the evidence of Henry Bacon, that seeing the vessel beating against the rocks in Walton Bay, he and his brother boarded her. They then got a line out, and having made her fast, sent for the Lioness steam-tug. The Captain of the Lioness thought she had net sufficient power, and the Tiger was sent round. She hauled th e vesse l off, subsequently took her up to the basin, Henry Bacon and his brother weering her, and afterwards taking charge of her. The cargo was admitted to be worth 250/., but the sloop was so much damaged as not to be worth more than 50/. It was also stated that 30/. had been premised to the owner of the steam-tug. The Magistrates directed 201. to be paid to the men-51. by the shipowner, and 15/. by Mr. Ennett. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 2. WRIGHT V. KING. This was an action for false imprisonment. The de fendant is proprietor of a boarding-school, and the plaintiff, being for a short time in his service as cook, was given by him into the custody of a police-officer, and taken before a Magistrate upon a charge of felony. The charge was founded upon the fact of lolb. weight of suet having been found in her cupboard. Before the Magistrate the plaintiff declined to prosecute, and the plaintiff; who received an excellent character from her former master, brought this action for the alleged in jury. The Jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 10/. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Feb. 2. IN RE wM. urreitcocw. The further investigation of this matter was resumed his day. The cross-examination of Mr. Gladstone was continued by Mr. Mardon. You have •stated in your examination of 26th January that your last transaction with the bankrupt was the 12th July, 1841; state what that transaction was ?—Be fore I answer that question I should like to explain that [amide a mistake in a date relative to interest. I stated [B3B, and it should have been 1839. Mr. MARDON repeated his question.--ft was a small parcel of goods amounting to 11. ls. 4d. sold by me to the bankrupt. When did you sell any goods to the bankrupt prior to that date ?—On the 30th June or Ist July. Can you state the amount?—l believe upwards of 1001 Then did you sell any goods between the Ist July and the 12th of the month beyond the sums mentioned P—l think not. Were you in the habit, prior to the Ist July, of supply ing goods to the bankrupt weekly or oftener ?—Yes. When did you credit the bankrupt in your books with the 8631. Bs. 9d., Heeles' bill ?—On the 18th May. Did you make the entry on that day ?—Without doubt, as it appears in the book. My question is not as it appears in your book, but when the entry was male ?—On the 18th May. Did you credit his cash account on that day with the amount, or was it carried to his cash account ?—lt was carried to his cash account. You have spoken in your examination of an interview with' the bankrupt on the 2d of July; did the bankrupt then inform you that he should stop unless you afforded him assistance and unlimited credit ?—No. Do you recollect what statement he made to you on that occasion ?—I do. Will you state what then took place ?—He stated that we did not - give him sufficient support ; that we did not answer his references in a way to do him credit, anti having a large account with us it was an injury to him. You have stated that you sent to the bankrupt on the Ist July a letter stating that his buyer had been very frequently with you, which was contrary to the under standing, referring to the loss of the sth May, which had been acknowledged by the bankrupt in his letter of the 28th May. Do you mean by that answer that there was any understanding between you and the bankrupt in May that he shou ld instruct his buyers not to call upon you so frequently ? No ; I wish to observe we then advist-d him to buy with great caution, which he pro mised to do, and these purchases made in .Tune we thought were too large to be consistent with that pro mise, especially as the trade of the season was so ad vanced. Was that the only reason that you had for the under standing between you and the bankrupt ?—Yes. 1)o you consider that the season was far advanced in May in the retail West-end trade P—My answer refers to the Ist July. Why, when you wrote this letter, May 5, 1841, did you caution him against keeping too much stock P—Because we had heard he had been buying goods freely in the market. ' Did your caution against buying too much stock apply to yourselves, your own fi r m ?-It, did generally. Mr. HUMFREY—What do you man by generally ? With respect to ourselves and others. Mr. MA 'IRON —Did you caution hint not to buy of other houses on the sth of May ?—Our caution was a ge neral one, meaning that he should do business on as small a stock as possible. What amount of goods did the bankrupt purchase of your house after March 16, up to and inclusive of 12th July, 1841 ?—lt appears to me, looking at the book, to be 2,080/., without returns, which amount to 1801., leaving the actual amount 1,9001. What amount of cash and bills did the bankrupt pay to your firm during the same period ?—The 4th April 5001; the 18th May to Heeles' cheque 863/. ; on the 20th 7501 ; on 29th 1,000/. ; on Ist June 525/. 12s. 6d. ; those are all. Do you find nothing on June 4th :P . —That bill was not paid ; those I have mentioned Were. The different bills falling due up to 4th July for goods were all paid, but by means of our own advances. From what time up to July ?—From March. Can you point out what bills were paid by the bankrupt without advances of yours 2—l don't think I can tell without going through the books. I can tell the whole advances of the year to the bankrupt. I can explain the payment of each la by going through the books. Before you part with that book will you look if you did not receive a bill on April 4th, 1841, for 226135.—N0. Neither to his goods account nor his cash account ? I seem to have no such bill here, but this book will not show, it does not go far enough back. Referring to a letter of the sth May, 1841, you say the bankrupt is warned from expecting any more assist ance from you, beyond, for a time, the 7,000/. and Mr. Cooke's 3,000/. From what time did you mean the assist ance of the 7,000/., which refers to the joint promissary note of the bankrupt and Mr. Geo. Hitchcock, to continue. —The 7,0001 was lent to be paid at the rate of 1,0001 annually. Then do you mean it was for a term of seven years?— The loan 'of 7,000/. was for the term of one year ; 6,000/. the second, and so on. When was that 7,000/. lent ?—ln sundry sums in May, 1840. Was there not a joint note of the bankrupt and George Hitchcock given for that amount, payable twelve months after date, and dated the Ist June in that year 2—y es. When the bill became due in 1841 was it presented for payment ?-- - Ye s ; I suppose so. Do you know of your own knowledge who presented that note for payment ?—I do * not. Do you believe that it was presented for payment ? suppose Q. rBE SUN, LONDON,_ TRURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, IS4 My question is whether you believe it was or not ? My belief is that it.was presented, and another bill was obtained. To whom ?—I suppose both to the bankrupt and his brother. By whom ?—I can't tell. What reason have you for supposing it was presented for payment, seeing that you cannot tell by whom it was presented ?—Because another bill was obtained. By whom was that other bill obtained ? I don't know. Have you not heard from one of your clerks that, he presented the note to the bankrupt for payment ?—I have no recollection of it. Was any part of the 7,000/. paid off in June, 1841, when you obtained, as you say, another note ?—No ; because the bankrupt was then applying to us for the renewal of other bills. Did you see the second note ?—Yes. Then did it not occur to you to inquire why the sum of 1,000/. was not paid off, as agreed to be done annually ? —I knew the reason. The bankrupt, had then applied for the renewal of other bills. Did you grant any, and what, renewals at the time when the second note was given, as you have stated ? No ; it appears the moneys are still unpaid. What moneys do you allude to as still unpaid, being the subject of renewal in June 1841 ?—The bill falling due the 4th June, of 1,0001. one 4th July, 9991. It is right to observe the bankrupt obtained the moneys from us at these times to pay the bills becoming due. Was there any other bill than that for 1,000/. renewed in June 1841 ?—There does not seem to be any renewal of bills, for we lent him money to take up the bills. Was it not agreed between you, the bankrupt and Mr. G. Hitchcock, that the note of 1,000/. should not be negotiated ?—I have no recollection of it ; but we do not negotiate such large sums. Did you keep it in your cash-book from June 1840 to June 1841 ?—Yes. When did you give it to your clerks, or any other person for presentation ?—Doubtless when it became due. Will you swear that you did give it to any person to present for payment to the bankrupt or Mr. George Hitchcock ?—I do not recollect that I gave it to an y person, but have no doubt it was presented in the usual way. Did you not write a letter on or about the Ist of June to the bankrupt, stating that that bill would not be pre sented for payment, and that another would be present ed for renewal ?—I think not, but I have no recollection of it. Will you swear that you wrote him no letter on June the Ist, in which another bill was inclosed for his signa ture?—l do not remember. Will you swear that you did not do so?—I will not swear that I did not do so, but I have no recollection. If it were so, it would have been a very natural course. Did you, or your clerk by your direction, present such a note to the bankrupt for his signature ?—I am not aware of it. Have you seen the second note referred to?—Yes. Of whom did you obtain that?—l have seen it in our bill-box. From whom did you obtain that note?—lt was doubt less obtained from Mr. Geo. Hitchcock. lam not aware that I obtained it. Have you any doubt upon it—was it obtained by your knowledge ?—I have no doubt upon it, by my knowledge. What do you mean by my knowledge?—l have stated from the commencement that I do not know distinctly how it was obtained, or words to that effect. Have you the first or original bill for 7,000/.?---No. What has become of it ?—I suppose it was given up when the other was obtained. Have you the second note now in Court? Mr. HUMFREY'--I believe not, but you can have it in five minutes. Mr. MARDON—I should like to see it. Mr. IcIINFREY—It shall be sent for. Mr. MARDON continued—What rate of interest in June, 1840, was agreed to be given upon the loan of 7,0001.?—I am not aware of any agreement being made at the time, but about 7 per cent. was afterwards given. When afterwards was that 7i given?—About twelve months afterwards. What rate of interest did the note purport to carry?— There was no rate of interest specified. Was the sum of 5251. 12s. 6d. accepted for by the bank rupt on the 29th day of February, 1841, at four months? It is very unlikely : there is no such day. The bill was received by us on February 22d, and due June let. Was that sum paid when the bill became due?—Yes. But I here wish to observe that that payment, as well as one or two others in the month of May we held security for. Then do you mean that the 5251. 12s. 6d. falling due June Ist, 1841, was not solely for interest for that loan of 7,000/. ?—lt was for interest. Did any, and what arrangement, take place between you and the bankrupt as to the rate of interest of 7i per cent. to be paid on the 7,000/., and if so, when?—l am not aware of any arrangement, but 71 per cent. was paid. Seeing that the note was drawn on the Ist of June, 1840, for twelve - months, can you explain why it was that in February 1841, you charged him 7 per cent., and for which he gave you his acceptance ?—I cannot ex plain it, but I know 7* per cent. was paid. • Did you give directions to'Mr. Parkinson in February 1841, to obtain 71 per cent. upon the 7,000/.?- 7 -I have no remembrance of it. Do you know the hand-writing of this, Exhibit V ? Yes, it is Mr. Parkinson's. Read it.—One year's interest on 7,0001., at 73. per cent., 5251.; stamp, 12s. 6d. 1-Lavin„ seen that memorand um , are you now certa i n that you have no recollection of giving any directions to Mr. Parkinson to obtain the bankrupt's acceptance for the amount ?—I have no recollection of giving Mr. Par kinson any directions, but it is quite possible I might. Do you superintend that department of your house which relates to the cash and bill department?—Not ex clusively. Do you at all interfere in the matter, so as to give you knowledge. of what bills are drawn on your customers ?—I do interfere, but many bills are drawn without my know ledge. . _ geeing that this bill was drawn in February, 1841, in cluding interest, at the rate of 7 per cent. upon 7,0001., is that such a bill as one of your clerks would obtain with out the directions of yourself or Mr. Cooke ? No, it would be by direction. Do you mean by your direction or that of Mr. Cook ? —Yes. I want to know is it probable that you or Mr. Cooke knew that that bill was obtained, and with interest at the rate aforesaid?—Yes. Can you explain why, if' there was no arrangement in June, 1840, nor afterwards, that you took the bankrupt's acceptance in February for interest on the 7,0001. at the rate of 71 per cent. ?—I cannot explain why, but it must have been agreed either then or before. It is right to observe that this is the only instance on which 71 per cent. was taken, and that the average of all our transactions from the commencement of 1839 up to June, 1840, do not exceed 6} per cent., and the Bank rate of interest during part of that time was 6 per cent. Was not the bankrupt discounting with Mr. Glaister in 1839?-4 do not know. You have stated in your examination of the 26th of January last, that .as the bankrupt had shown by his stock taking of January that he had a balance in his favour of between 3,0001. and 4,0004, this, with the amount you meant to write off would enable him, with prudence, to carry on the business well. Now look at that stock taking, and state whether or mot it appears that the debts are taken on the credit side at 2,700/. ; premises, fixtures, &c., 6,000/. ; alterations, 1,0001. ; house at Torrington, 400/., whether or not it does so appear, making a total of 10,1001. does. Now do you really believe that by writing him off 2,500/ he could, with prudence, be able to manage his trade well, seeing that those assets were unavailable for the purpose of paying his engagements?—Certainly, be cause we also told hint that we would continue to lend him the 7,000/. Had you not previously agreed to lend that sum for seven years or a longer period?—Certainly not. Are the premises anti fixtures mentioned in the Ex hibit A, the same premises that you offered to sell for 1,5001. ?—Part of the premises we offered to sell for 1,500/., but the bankrupt told us on the 13th ofJtity that the portion we held was of little or no value without his brother's, and to which the fixtures and plated glass of all the others are added. We held two leases out of the three, but without plate glass and fixtures. Had not the alterations and the additions of plate glass alluded to been made since January, 1841 2—l be lieve the alteration commenced some months previous to that time, and was completed about that time. Are you not aware that your firm soil to the bankrupt a large parcel of goods- for the opening of the premises in March, 1841 ?—Upon the strength of this account (A)'l have now got before me, and the confidence his brother had in his affairs, having given us a promissory note for 7,0001., after satisfying himself upon the affairs of the bankrupt. Yen have stated that you would receive back a par cel of linens from the bankrupt, to be re-finished on the 17th of .July. Are these linens entered in your book ? —They are. Will you produce the book 7—They are, to his credit. Under what date ?-14th of September, amounting to 647/. Os. 3d. By whom was that entry made ?—The clerk who kept the books. It is right to explain why they do not appear till the 14th of September. The linen had been packed and sent to Ireland for the purpose of being re finished, and was afterwards sold there at a reduction, and after the sale, when we ascertained that reduction, the goods were credited. Is it the habit of your house to sell goo d s fi rst and the habit Nve cannot our no t house, except a i f n te s r:v ic ar h d ea s s ? e — s l as t becausethisesen,ot When were those goods sold, and to whom 2—They were sold from about the middle of August up to about the date they are entered. Can you mention any one person by name 2—Holman and Harris of Cranbrook, but I cannot call others to mind. Have you any entries in your books of such sale ? Certainly. They are all entered iu the books. Refer to your books and point out the dates.—lt can not be done v. ithout great inconvenience. Mr. HumFREY said he did not think it important. If it were worth it Messrs. Cook and Gladstone should pro duce them, but it would be a great trouble as there were no less than eight journals. After a short conversation between Messrs. MA.RDON and HUMFREY the subject was dropped. Can you explain why those goods which you received for the purpose of being refinished were not sent away for that purpose ?—I can ; certain expenses would have been incurred forfreight, and I told a salesman that if we could ret certain prices for the goods they might sell them, if not we would send them to be refinished. When did you give 3 , our,salesman those directions ? I think, about the middle of August. Would the expenses of freight and refinishing amount to 1501., or thereabouts' ?--N o ;many of them were de tvreciated in value. Have you stated at any tune that you gave the bank- rupt credit for these goods on the 16th of July 2-No. The invoice was dated the 16th of July, and from the invoice the goods passed into the book. The time they passed into the book was the 14th of September. The note for 7,0001. was here produced. You have now before you the promissory-note refer ring to it, in whose handwriting is that note ?-Mine. Having that note before you, and having stated that it is in your own handwriting, have you any recollection to whom you gave direction to obtain the signatures of the parties thereto ?-I have not. There is anexhibit marked A, dated N0v. 0 4,1841, does that paper contain your account with the bankrupt up to the date of the fiat, and does it contain on the credit side of that account these words-" July 16th, 647/. Os. 3d. ?"-It does. It carries the date of the re turn invoice, but the credit was not given in our books till the 14th of September, because we did not know the amount of the reduction till that period. Does the word return refer to the linens ?-Yes. How could you give credit in that statement before you as from the invoice for 647/. only, when the invoice itself shows the total amount of goods to be 808/. 15s. 3d.? -Because it was necessary to make a reduction in order to sell the goods. How could you, seeing the goods were sold in Sep tember, give credit in that account, filed in these pro ceedings, for 6471. Os. 3d. ?-I cou ld not ascerta i n i t t ill September. Why did you date it July 2-It was taken by our clerk from the invoice, which was dated July 16. Did your clerk. ascertain the credit of 647/. Os. 3d. from the invoice, which amounts to 808/. 15s. 3d. ?-He did. Can you say whether the statement A was furnished by your firm to the official assignee ?-The statement was furnished to the assignee. And when 2-I cannot answer. Can you state of your own knowledge, or from infor mation received from any other person, whether that statement was not delivered before the middle of Sep tember 2-The fiat was opened the 16th of September, so it could not be. Refer to your book, and state whether, under the date of the 4th April, there appears any payment, and what, made by the bankrupt to you 2-A bill for 226/. 3s. fell due on that day, anti also one for 102/. ss. 6d. Will you refer to May 4 ; does any entry appear ?- Yes, 203/.175. 6d. Is there any other following May ? -In May, 48/. 9s. ; June 4, 591. 18s. 6d., and a 1001. Bs. Were the whole of these payments made to you, without your assistance ?-I think not ; the bankrupt received from us 1,0001. on May 4, and 1,000/. from us on June 3. • Were not those receipts by the bankrupt from you May 3 and June 3, had for other purposes, and not for the pay ment of the bills above mentioned ?-I see there are bills becoming due, one for 1,009/., on May 4, and one of 1,000/, June 4, which may account for those sums which I have mentioned. Were not those other bills paid by the bankrupt without your assistance ?-It appears so. Did not the bankrupt purchase from you between March 16 and July 12, amounting to the sum of 1,908/., or thereabouts ; and did he not pay the sum of 4,378/. 13s. 3d. during the same period ?-Yes, I suppose so ; but the money was found by ourselves. Did you supply any sum of money towards the sums of, on April 4, 500/.; May 18, 863/. ; May 29, 1,000/. ; and June 1, 525/. 12s. 6d.?-I think not ;we held other securities to cover these accounts. Have you received from the bankrupt those several sums of 5004 8634 1,0001., and 525/. 12s. 6d. 2-Yes. Had you security for the sum of 1,000/, on the 29th of May ?-Security for that amount is disputed. Had you security for the sum of 1,000/ ;-Mr. George Hitchcock admitted we had, but that is disputed. Do you consider that you had security for that sum from Mr. George Hitchcock ?-We do not. You have stated that you held security for that 1,000/.; state from whom you held that security, and the nature " thereof?-No, I said it was disputed. What do you mean, then, by your statement, that you held security for all these sums ?-I am not aware that I said I held security for all these sums. I endeavoured to explain it at the time. Did you hold security for the 525/. 12s. 6d. 2-Yes, I conceive we did, for it was the interest of the joint pro missory note of George Hitchcock and the bankrupt. Then did you consider George Hitchcock liable to you for that sum of 525/. 12s. 6d. 2-We did, as he was a party to the promissory note. Do you hold any guarantee of George Hitchcock for that sum of 1,000/. 2-We do, which he disputes. When did you receive the letter marked A A 2-In August, 1841. Was that letter, when you received it, in an envelope ? -Yes. Have you the envelope ?—We have not, we never pre serve envelopes. Was not that letter written by the bankrupt at your request, and dated back to July 16, to accord with the invoice of the linens ?—Certainly not. I requested a note to be written authorising us to make a reduction. Did you not tell the bankrupt to put that letter in an envelope, in order that the date might not differ from the post-mark ?—Certainly not. No such thought ever entered my head. When did you first perceive that that letter bore the date of the 16th July, 1841 cannot tell. Have you any recollection ?—None whatever. When did you receive the letter, Exhibit It P—l think in August. Did you, when you so received it, observe the date of that letter as the 15th May Was that also in an envelope ?—lt was. Have you preserved that envelope ?—I said I did not preserve envelopes. Did you, in the month of August, ask the bankrupt to take back that letter P—l did not. I said to the bank rupt we ought to have had a letter respecting the non payment of this bill, without being mixed up with other matter. When did you first observe that it was dated back ? I think, on the receipt of it. Had you received any other letter from the bankrupt in which he had mixed up the subject of that letter of the 15th of May with other matters ?—We received a letter on the Ist of May, in which other matters were mixed up, and to which I referred. Was the subject of that letter of the 15th of May men tioned in the letter of the Ist of May ?—Not precisely. When was the letter, Exhibit S, date sth of August, 1841, written by you ?—The sth of August. When did you receive theletter, Exhibit T ?—I have no doubt we received it on the 19th of August, or the morning following. Did the bankrupt see you in your library with Mr. Buzzacott on the 20th of August, 1841 ?—Yes. Did he then enter into any arrangement with you for the liquidation of your debt ?—Yes ; he gave us a gua rantee on that occasion, which, at first, we refused to take, thinking it might be considered a preference. Did not Mr. Parrinton call upon you in September, and inform you that the bankrupt had requested him to come in and take an account of his affairs ?- 7 I think not. I think we sent to Mr. Parrinton for that purpose ourselves. Did not Mr. Parrinton show you a letter written by ,e bankrupt, requesting him to see you on the state of s affairs ?—I have no recollection. Mr. SOLE, solicitor to the assignees, Brown and Llewellyn.—When and how was the 7,0001. advanced ? In May 1840, May Ist, 700/. ; 2d, 650/. ; 4th, 3,0001.; 14th, 800/.; 25th, 400/. I want to know whether you actually advanced the moneys on those days ?—We Now, were those advances made for goods had from you ?—No. Do you mean to say they were made in hard cash ? Yes. They formed no portion of the previous account, we agreed to advance the whole 7,000/. on condition that his brother should first satisfy himself of the safety of his affairs. We agreed to assist him if ho would do away with the small wholesale trade which was dan gerous and unprofitable. The COMMISSIONER.-What did the bankrupt owe you at that time ?--I cannot tell the amount. Did you receive any large payment soon after this advance ?-----No. Was there any agreement to. pay the previous ac count out of this loan ?—No. By Mr. Soya:.—flow do you know that George Hitch cock looked into his brother's affitirs 2—Because we first requested him to do so, before he became security. Did he tell you that he had looked into his brother's affairs ?—IIe told us - he had satisfied himself, and, there fore, he should become security. My question is, did George Hitchcock tell you that he had looked into his brother's affairs. Yes, or no ?—He did. In May, 1841, about the end of the month. When did you first see George Hitchcock on the sub ject of the security 2—About the middle of May. I t i i a m n e k . rup l t Will you state as near as you can what you said to him, and what ho said to you 2—l can give you the told that G he eo ( rg th . % in the presence of the substance. I cannot tell you exactly at this distance of had received different sums of money from us lately for his trade, and that we would take his security for the amount of 7,000/., which the bankrupt said he required, on condition that he should first look into his brother's affairs, and satisfy R ba ite nk h r e irt) himself that he was doing well; also that he should con tinue from time to time to do so, to give satisfaction, on these condition, that the bankrupt should discontinue his small wholesale trade, as I have mentioned before. Did you tell G. Hitchcock, when he was proposed as security, that a portion of the stun had been already advanced 2—We did. You say you advanced the bankrupt 3,000/. on the 4th May ; now on that day there was a bill due ; I want to know whether you advanced that amount without any reference to anyprevious transaction, and whether 2,0001. of th a t sum was not pa id to that bill 2—lt does not ap pear in our b oo k s. Look at this paper 2—This refers to an advance, and not to a bill. On referring to the books, there was a bill due on the 4th May. What I want to know is, whether that money was ad vanced to take up that bill ?—lt migh t have so been ap plied, but our bill-book is not here, but it can be had in the morning. It being now past four o'clock, they further examina rion was postponed till to-morrow. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan, 2. IN THE MATTER(Iiha OF JOHN soli n opposed by Mr. W OOD - itorFE, for h av i ng frauduglontly, and by misrepresenta eser e was PLOWMAN. The in soh obtained a quantity of goods from Mr. J. Carrell. It appeared that the opposing creditor was a wholesale boot and shoemaker, and the insolvent purchased a large quantity of boots and shoes from him, for which a bill of exchange was given. Almost immediately afterwards the insolvent made over the whole of his property, amongst which was that he purchased from Mr. Carren, to his daughter, in lieu of an alleged loan from her, and then called upon him (Mr. C.) and got a. further quantity of goods, for which it was stipulated that ready money was to be paid, but the moment after the bargain was closed Mr. Carren, being called by another customer, the insol- yept walked Alva? , with to goods, kud pow in Ilia Woo said that lie was under the impression that he bough. them on credit. Mr. Commisioner BOWEN, after commenting sfrongl) on the conduct of the insolvent, ordered Lim to be re manded for eight months. IN RE DAVID DOTTERICH. This insolvent was opposed on the ground of having vexatiously defended an action whereby Lis detaining cre ditor was unnecessarily- put to additional expense, and The COURT ordered him to be remanded for three months. TN THE MATTER OF GEORGE DUDLEY: The insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on beim] of Messrs. Souter and Paistow, solicitors, of Greenwicl The grounds of opposition were that the insolvent, who was a very eminent engineer, had been formerly in the employment of Messrs. Grissell and Peto, with whom he had some disagreement, the result of which was a lawsuit, in which the opposing creditors acted as the in solvent's attorneys. Ile was arrested by a person named Hart, and the Learned Counsel contended that they had been intimately acquainted before, and that the arrest was termed a friendly one. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN considered there was no ground for that supposition, and ordered the insolvent to be discharged forthwith. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Joseph Payne, 38, was convicted of burglariously stealing various articles, the property of William Thomas Webb. This was one of those cases of robbery unhappily too frequent, and which nothing but caution on the part of the public can effectually prevent. The prosecutor and his wife left their home on the evening of the 10th of January, and when they returned they found the house had been entered, and a quantity of property stolen. The prisoner was, happily; stopped by the policeman on duty, and a part of the stolen property was found upon his person. Baron ALDERSON, in passing judgment, observed, that really some protection must be gi►en to that class of persons of the community who, from their circumstances, were compelled to leave their property during their tem porary absence, without the protection of servants. The Court was bound to protect the public from the proceed ings of such persons as the prisoners, and the sentence, therefore, was, that ho be transported for the term of ten years. _ _ _ (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) William Metcalf, 23, and Alfred Hastings, 27, were indicted for burglary, and stealing various articles the property of Thomas Cheveley. Mr. FAYNJ conducted the prosecution, and from his statement and the evidence that was adduced, it appeared that on the sth of January the prosecutor, who resides in Jubilee-place, Stepney, went to bed, and in the dead of the night he was awoke by hearing a noise in the lower part of the premises, and on getting up he found that a door had been forced open, and the lower part of the house completely ransacked. An alarm was given, and the police, who were readily in attendance, made a search, and the prisoners were discovered secreted in an adjoining stable, and part of tho stolen property was found upon them. _ _ The Jury found both prisoners Guilty. Mr. Justice CRESWELL, after commenting upon the facts of the case, sentenced the prisoners to be transported for ten years. Charles Brook, aged 19, was indicted for breaking into the counting-house of Messrs. Kitson and Co., soap boilers, White-street, Southwark, and stealing money to the amount of 351. Mr. PRENDERGAST conducted the prosecution. It ap peared that the prisoner had been in the employ of the prosecutors, and on the 19th of January he had an opportunity of seeing Mr. Kitson place some gold, silver, and notes, to the amount mentioned in the indictment, in his cash-box, and the next day it was found that the counting-house had been broken open, the cash-box forced, and the money stolen. It was proved that, im mediately after the robbery, the prisoner set about " enjoying himself." -He took up with a lady, went about to various places of amusement, and was at length taken into custody by the police while in a state of intoxication, and charged with being " drunk and disorderly." The inquiry that subsequently took place led to the committal of the prisoner upon the present charge, and the offence was clearly brought home to him. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL ordered the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for twelve months. The prisoner said he should be glad to be sent out of the country. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL told the prisoner that it was very probable, from the course of life he pursued, that he would eventually be sent out of the country, but at present he would be imprisoned in it. (Before the RECORDER.) _ John Dolin, 46, was convicted upon two indictments of obtaining a quantity of lead from Messrs. Warner and Co., by means of forged orders, purporting to be signed by a person named Bidwell, in whose employ he had for merly been. The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported for seven years. The prisoner begged for mercy. He said he had a wife and six children, and was in great distress when he committed the offence. The RECORDER told him he did not deserve. commise ration. In whatever state of distress he was, it could not justify the acts' ha had committed. On the 7th of :January he had, by means of a forged order, obtained property to the amount of 171., and on the 9th, two days only having elapsed, he presented another forged order, and obtained more property. The Court could not, therefore, pass a more lenient sentence ; and he would only observe that the sentence was the lowest period of transportation that could be inflicted, when it was very doubtful whether the punishment ought not to have been the highest fixed by the law. The RECORDER, after the prisoner had left the bar, observed that the Legislature had thought fit to make a distinction in the punishment in the case of parties convicted of uttering forged orders for the delivery of goods, but he could not see what difference there was be tween obtaining goods and money to the same amount. Both offences were, in his opinion, equally injurious to the public, and mischievous in their consequences. The son of the last prisoner, who pleaded in the name of Thomas Lake, was then indicted for an offence of the same description. The case was clearly proved, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. There being good reason to believe that the prisoner had, in some measure, been seduced to commit the offence by his father, the Court inflicted the lowest sentence ,in accordance with the Act of Parliament, viz., two years' imprisonment and hard labour. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. Extract of a letter from Tunis, 6th inst., in the De bats :—" The Bey is still apprehensive of an attack from the Porte : he continues to increase the fortifications on the coast. The regular troops are kept in good condi tion, but it is not probable that they can stand, against European troops." A letter from Tripoli, 4th inst., says that an agent had arrived there from Constantinople with the intelligence that the present Bey Askar AU is shortly to be suspended in the government of that regency. He had brought money for the payment of the troops and other public purposes : he hail not given this money to the Priebe, but had distributed it himself. A Greek sailor, who was under protection of the British Consul, had been seized by order of the Bey for some slight offence, and had re ceived 300 strokes of the bastinado on the soles of the feet. The Consul had demanded satisfaction, but in vain. From a statement of the operations at the Mont-de- Piete of Paris, during the last year, the following are the results : Articles. Value. Average. Pledges 1,220,692 18,576,029 f. Renewals 241,130 5,763,827 15f. 21c. 22 90 Totals From this it appears that one article and a half is annu ally, pawned for each inhabitant of the capital, and that the average of each loan is 3Gf. At the end of 1840, there were remaining at the Mont-de-Piete 832,742 articles in pledze, and the sum lent upon them was 15,883,661 r. Theuverage operations of each day were as follows: 'ledges : 3,840 ; sum, 59,655. Renewals :-755 suns - ; ,605. Redemptions : 2,830 ; sum, 42,998. 'The L `rectors of the institution have been obliged to refuse re. (Plying any more mattresses, as in a short time its store houses would have been entirely filled with them. There were at one time no fewer than 15,000 mattresses pledged. The appeal of M. Ledru-Rollin in reversal of the judg ment standing against him, and M. Haureau, responsible editor of the Courrier de la Sarthe, is before the Court of Cessation. On Saturday it decided against a first objec tion to the execution of the judgment upon M. Ledru- Rollin, on the ground of his being a member of the I Cliamber of Deputies, and adjourned the further hearing 'of the appeal for a fortnight, when it will proceed upon the merits of the case. According to an account of a debate in the House of Representatives of the State of Alabama, immense pro perty is held by the English in the United States of Ame j rice, particularly in the large towns, and the Duke of Wellington possesses a valuable mass of houses in New York. The truth of the last part of the paragraph would, we are disposed to believe, be very gratifying to his Grace. The Barcelona papers of the 22d. inst. state that all the members of the late Republican Junta have returned to that city, and have petitioned the Municipality that they may be allowed to give an account of their financial measures while in power. The Society of Workmen, which has been dissolved, has protested against this step. A Constantinople Correspondent writes on the 7th inst. to the Univers :—." As soon as the intelligence of the virtual abrogation of the Hatti-Scheriff of Gulhane reached Erzeroum, the Armenians of the pachalic, as well as those of Wan, moved en masse from these terri tories with the intent of settling in those of Russia. The Turkish authorities had no power, and those of Russia no will, to prevent this emigration. The plague is nearly extinguished at Erzeroum and in the Kurdistan ; not more than two new cases are reported per week. The cold has greatly aided the sanitary measures. The scourge has not reappeared in other parts of the Ottoman empire." The Swiss papers state that the Federal Directory has opened negotiations with Portugal and Norway for the abolition of what is termed the traite foraigne. The Swiss Minister at Paris has already agreed with the Portuguese Envoy that the convention lately concluded by Switzerland with Spain to that effect, shall be adopted as the base of the proposed treaty. The Presse says that it is in contemplation to establish in Paris a military Atheneum Club, similar to those of Berlin, Vienna, and Stockholm. This journal adds, that as the utility of such an institution is not doubtful, it is hoped that the Government will either furnish a building for it, .or pay the rent of one.
