The Railway Share Market was ' rlll , and prices were well maintained. In summing up the business transactions of the Past fortnight, Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co. I t t lite that there has been a good business doing in the foreign and colonial proluce markets, the im rt. rts having been moderate, the deliveries from tie warehouses good for home consumption , and t export trade in some instances in excess of that ; 1 4 last y ear . I m p or t ers , h o wever, have supplied e Market freely. On the Continent there is a 44ir demand. _ _ direct telegraphic communication has been Tablished from London to St. Petersburg, Riga, °2 covr, Warsaw, &c., by Mr. Julius Reuter, of the 4) Yal Exchange Buildings.

JUNE 26 1855. THE CAPTURE OP THE MAMELON. under the fire of the enemy by a detachment of gunners commanded by Captain M2-31chior. As regards the arma ment of the Ourrages B'ancs ann the Mamelon Vert, it re mained in our power, making a total of 73 guns taken from the enemy. " While we were taking the White Woiks, and the Mamelon Vert, the Erglish, with r tre intrepidity, stormed the Quarries, and established themselves firmly there, taking thus a glorious part in tl2O d ly's success. "The Turkish division of Osman Pasha rendered great cervices. Different battalions, led on by &for PaSha, chief of the staff of the Turkish army, contributed, under fire and at the advanced posts, to the consolidation of our con quests on Mount Sapouno. " What shall I say, Monsieur le Mar 6,111.1, of the troops of the second corps? Facts speak hotter than anything could write you ; they were admirable. "Their success was skillfully prepared and assured by ' General Bosquet. I respond to the intentions of the chief of the 2d corps. as well as to my own, by mentioning here the names of Generals Cainou and Mayran, who led the attack, and of Generals Bru ne t an d D u l a; w h o so a bl y 'seconded them. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the following re port, addressed by General Pelissier, under date of the ' 11th of June, to the Minister of War : "Mensier le Marechal,—My two tele,graphio despatches of the 7th and Bth of Jane, and my letter of the 9th of the same month, have informed you in a succinct manner of our brilliant affair of the 7th. " To-day I received General amp:let's reports, as well as different information I awaited, and I am now able to give you a full and detailed account of this combat, which is a real victory, as much from the glory it throws upon our arms as from the important results obtained. " On the 6th, at 3 p.m., as I have had the honour of in forming you, the artillery of our right attackcpeued against the town ; the English batteries opened fire at the same moment, and they were immediately supported by our bat teries of the left attack. This fire of artillery was vigor ously kept up during the whole night between the 6th and 7th, and at 3 o'clock of the evening it was completed by the fire of all our batteries of the left attack; so that, dating from that moment, the place was'enveloped with a girdle of fire, which, starting at the east, from our batteries at Careening Bay, extended to the west as far as gliaran tine Bay. " It was then that the plans for the attack—concerted between Lord Raglan, Omar Pasha, a nd myself, and, as far as we are concerned, carefully studied by General Ma gnet—began to be put into execution. "The plan was to carry on the right, on the spur of Careening BA. the works called by us Ouvrages Blanes,' or works of 'ale 22d and '27th of February,' to carry in the centre the Mamelon Vert in front of the Malakhoff Tower; while, on their side, on our left, the English were to storm the so-called quarries' in f ro nt of the great Re dan. Each cf these attacks was separated from the other by a steep and rocky ravine ; that of the White Works was separated from the Malakhoff attack by the ravine of Careening-bay, and the Malakh o ff a tt ac k was separated from the English attack by the ravine of the Carabelnaia. Those ravines inconveniently isolated the attacks, but their covered spots enabled us to place numerous and powerful reserves sheltered from the enemy's fire. " The 2d, 3d, 4th, and sth Dvisions of the 2d corps had been selected for the attack. At 4.30 p.m. those four divisions took up their respective positions, the diviei)tie lifayran (3d) and Dulac (4th) on the side of Careening-bay, and the divisions Camou (2d) and Brunet (sth) in the centre attack. " General Mayran was to direct the simultaneous attack against the White Works of the 22d and 27th•of February. The Ist brigade of his division, commanded by General Do Lavarande, and consisting of a portion of the 19th bat talion of the Chn.sseurs-a.pied (commandant Caubert), of the 2,1 Zonaves (Colonel Saurin), and of the 4th Regiment of Marines (Lieutenant-Colonel Cendrecourt), occupied our trenches of Careening-bay. This column was charged to attack the works of the 27th of February. "On the left, of Da Lavarando's brigade was the 2d brigade of Mayran's division, under the orders of General De Failly, consisting of the remainder of the 19th bat talion of Chasseurs-a-pied, of the 95th of the line (Colonel Danner), and of the Ist battalion of the 97th. This column was to storm the work of the 22d of February. " The Dulac division formed the reserve of these two attacks. The first brigade of this division, under the order.; of General de Saint Pol, was to take up a position in the parallels of Careening-bay after the attack of the first two columns; and the 2,1 brigade of the same division, com manded by General Bisson, formed the second reserve. "Moreover, the 2d battalion of the 97th of the line, a battalion of the 61st, under the command of Lion tenant-Colcnel Larrouy d'Orinn, of tho 97th, had been con centrated in the ravine of Careening-bay to turn the ene my, and to cut off his retreat after storming the Ouvrages Manes " I must not omit to mention Generals Benret, of the Artillery; Frossard, of the Engineers; and de Cissey, chief of the staff of the 2d corps, who supported Generalßosquet with as much zeal as devotion. "It would be an omission on my part if I did not men tion with praise the two battalions - of the Imperial Gdard, who fought like picked tro.ps. " We have fluttered sensible losses ; among others that of the bravo General de Lavarande, killed by a canuna Ina at 1 o'clqck iu the morning in the work of the 27th, 'whichhe had captured ; and Colonel Hardy, o f th e 86th, 'Mortally wounded at, the head of his regiment. We have to regret many dashing officers and brave men, but these losscs aro not so very great when we consider the number of troops engaged, the length of the combat, and the important re sults obtained. , . "I must not conclude this report without expressing my satisfaction at the manner in rhich the ambulance duty was performed. Our medical ollilera wore, as usual, be yond all praise. It could not be otherwise under the direo Hon of Intendant Blauchot, ably seconded by thefunction azies under his orders.--I am, &c., "I'ELISHER." THE SABBATABIANS. (From the Times of this day. ) Hyde Park on Sunday was the scene of a great act of re tributive justice. The rough good sense of the community between profession and practice. Some way or another, it was perceived that it could not be right that a Bishop should roll about on a Sunday in his chariot and pair; that fine gen tlemen and finer ladies should make a Mall in Hyde-park for the sake of displaying fine bonnets and dresses, the marvels of Parisian art ; that club-houses should remain open, and Mivart's and Thomas's not closed, while poor me •a were de nounced as sacrilegious wretches if they permitted themselves upon that day to indulge in the luxury of a penny shave, to purchase a pennyworth of milk, or a stale half-quartern loaf, or a pound of mutton trimmings, or a pint of questionable beer. If these poor chapmeu were in the wrong, certainly the lordly Pharisees could scarcely b 3 in the right. It was difficult indeed for a poor customer wh3 might be excluded : from his own peculiar markets to feel that there was not some confusion of ideas existing in the minds of his superiors, as he watched the stream of rosy boys, with flannel aprons, issuing upon the Sabbath morning from the half-closed doors of the fashionable fishmongers, with trays upon their heads, or under their arms, as the case might be, well filled with plalid turbots, beautiful even in death, contrasting vividly with the bright hues of the ruddy lobsters, which wore destined to adorn the graceful close of their uneventful careers ; with whiting which, after life's fitful fever, awaited the sacrificial bread-crumb with their tails in their innocent mouths, with soles in pairs, and red-mullet in their costly simplicity. Nor was the fishmonger's boy the only Sabbath-breaker in the cause of Lucullu , . Behind him "In the centre the operations were entrusted to General Camou. The first brigade of his division, under the orders or General de Wimpffen, occupied the parallels of the Ma lakhoffspur ; to the right the Algerian Rifles (Colonel Rose) ; in the centre the 50th of the Line (Colonel de Brandon); to the left tbe‘3d Zonaves (Colonel Polhes). " The 2a brigade of the Camon division, commanded by General Verge, was in r servo in the ravine of Carabel naia, ready to take the place of the let brigade in the pa rallels. followed the greengrocer's familiar imp, laden with the spoils of early spring, or rather of spring ithposed by the art of the horticulturist upon our wintry June. Surely it must strike as somewhat strange upon a mind unimbued with the niceties of Parliamentary theology that sins incurred for the satisfac 2 _ _ tion of the epicure wore venial, while the culinary transgres sions of the poor man, who, in his most Apician flight, never soarel upon tho wings of fancy beyond a Sunday shoulder of mutton, resting upon an iron triangle, immersed in savoury potatoes, were to be visited with the severest indignation of every " well-regulated mind." If you set about it in the right manner you may ride human nature pretty hard.. As long as the stomach is filled, and the back not too ragged, it is possible to persuade one's follow-creatures to acquiesce to a certain extent in your own superfluities, but a limit must be drawn somewhere. The contrast must not be too vivid nor too startling. " Tho Division Brunet, under the orders of its chief, was also stationed in the Carabelnaia ravine, to aot as a second reserve. " Two battalions of thTlmperial Guard, ono of Grena diers the other of Gendarmes, were placed at the disposal of Central Canton for thefitttack.l " This ensemble was colapleted by the Turkish division of Osman Pasha which the Generalisvimo Omar Pasha had detached from his army on the Tchernaya, and which took up a position on the Inkerman heights. " At half-past six o'clock Lord Raglan was at the Eng lish observatory. I myself proceeded to the trench in front of the Victoria redoubt, whence, as agreed upon with his lordship, I sent up rockets as the signal for the attack. General Bosquet, who was at the battery next to the Lan caster Battery, had just received his last reports. Every thing was ready; the troops were burning with ardour, and perfectly confident of success. "As the first rocket went up, the Lavarande Brigade, headed by its general, rualled forth from the second paral= lel of Careening-bay, awl: at a running charge, carried the works of the 27th of February. Despite the fire of grape and musketry it had to face during the 200 yards it had to cross, and which caused considerable loss, the column penetrated into the batteryby the embrasures and breaches. A hand-to-band struggle ensued on every point; a num• ber of the defenders were killed on the spot, and wo were soon masters of the intrenchment. The fact is, this Sunday Trading Bill of Lgid Robert Gros venor in its present form won't do. It meanreither too much or too little. We fully grant that it is most highly desirable that any kind of traffic during the hours consecrated to Di vine service upon each returning Sunday should be absolutely prohibited to the rich as well as the poor—to the poor as well as to the rich. The public opinion of the country will sup port a prohibition of this kind. In point, of fact, as far as our own sphere of observation has extended—and we know something of London—we should be inclined to say that dur ing the hours consecrated to so righteous an end little or no traffic actually takes place. There may, for aught we know, be a Thieves' Bazaar in one remote quarter of the town—say in Houndsditch; and an unseemly damaged-vegetable Rialto in the purlieus of the Commercial-road; but, substantially, throughout London there . is no traffic during the hours of Divine service. If such exists - it is easy enough to put it down, but when we go one step further than this we at once stumble upon the difficulties' of class legislation. With all due respect for Lordi*Ebrington and Robert Grosvenor, and for other magnates of the Sabbetarian movement, we doubt their power of compelling observance of the Sabbath by the more opulent classes. Sumptuary laws were found to be a failure 250 years ago, and there is not much probability that they can be revived in our own time. If, then, it be im possible, as we believe it to be, to put an end to Sun day entertainments among the rich, to shut up the clubs, to stop all save strictly necessary traffic along the streets on the Sunday, of what avail is it to commence a crusade against the sparse enjoyments and little comforts of the poor? If the law can have universal application, and If public opinion sanction it, it is well. Nothing could be more sublime than the spectacle of a community such as is com prised in the England of tho I9th century which should really, with one heart and one mind, give up one day in seven, in good portion, to holy thoughts and earnest prayer, and the rest to innocent enjoyment and relaxation. All men of serious minds, who look a little beyond the present hour, are agreed upon the end, but differ sadly as to the means. Some oven are bold enough to say the end in view can never be reached by a legislative thunderclap, If the object is to be attained at all, we must look to the lianal agencies of enlight ? enmeut and education. The England of 1855 presents a most favourable contrast to the England nf 1755. If this country . continues to progress during the next fifty.ycars as during the first halfof the present century, there is every reason to hope that among the middle and loalver u claSset"th'e Sutiday will be observed in a manner which, would satisfy. any, oeic, save a hypocrite or a fanatic. Whether the upper classes will have ceased to give Sunday dinner parties, to take their carriages to church, and their pastime in tlici,Park, is really more than we would venture to say. _ _ _ " At the same signal and with the sams itnnetnosity,Di Failly's brigade rushed upon the work of the 22d of Feb. The distance is double, die ground to cross more difficult, with a murderous flank fire from the other work ; nothing stops this gallant brigade. It arrives in a dense,bpdy at the battery, scales the parapet under a rolling fire, and, jumping into the work, overcomesthe'desperate resistance of the enemy. " Driven 'back on these two points, and hotly pressed by our men, the Russians fly in disorder, some towards a little battery constructed since the 2d of May to defend the entrance to the Careening-bay ravine, some towstds the bridge crossing the bay by which the ravine debonches into the great port of Sebastopol. " Some of our men, carried away by the pursuit of the enemy, seize upon the battery of the 2d of hay and spike the guns. As this battery, however, is 500 metres beyond the work of the 22d of February, the most distant from our lines, and placed under the double protection of the works of the enceinte and of the forts to the north of the roadstead, it is impossible to think of occupying it as yet. "General Mayran, perceiving a Russian column advanc ing to retako the battny of the 2d of May, ordored his men to charge with fixed bayonets, drove back the column into le town, and took 60 Prisoners, including three officers. He rallied his advanced troops and led th;rn back to the works of the 22d and of the 27th of February, which re main definitively in our hand-. " Meantime the two battalions concentrated in the ravine of Careening-bay, under ho orders, of Lient.-Col. Larrouy d'Orion, were anything Wo.t idle. Descending the ravino at the moment the attack was taking place on tho ridge, they pushed on as far as the aqueduct bridge, climbed up the right bank, and cut off the retreat of the enemy driven from the first two works. This movement, exe cuted with as much vigour as skill, and which procured us 400 prisoners, including 12 officers, does the:highest cyedit to Lieutenant-Colonel Larrouy d'Orion, and deserves that I should particularly recommend that officer to your Last night Mr. Otway, relying, no doubt, upon the support of Hyde-park, asked Lord Palmerston if he did not intend to take some stops to induce the great author of the Sunday Trading Bill to withdraw his measure from the further consideration of the house. The bill has, we believe; 'passed through com mittee, and stands now for its third reading. Mr. Otway's question was received with general cheering, and of this cir cumstance Lord Palmerston, with his usual tact, took advan tage. "If my noble friend," says he, " hears that cheer, he will attend to it." We sincerely trust that the First Minister may have interpreted aright the feelings and views of his " noble friend," for such a measure of organised hypocrisy as his can only be attended with evil consequences. The grand result of the Sunday Trading Bill will simply be, that half-a million of lilingrY, unshaved, discontented people will, with the most perfect propriety, occupy their leisure hours every Sunday in groaning and hooting at the more opulent trans gressors of the law which they are compelled to observe. If Lord Ebrington objects to shaving himself, he should have forbearance for the opposite opinion. If Lord Robert Grosve nor desires to see the Sabbath duly observed, let him not pro voke the people to riot by making ono Sabbath for the rich and another for the poor. Excellency. "While this was taking place on the side of Careening bay the battle was waging with still more exciting inci dents around the Marnelon Vert. "At the same signal of rockefs from the Victoria re doubt General do Wimpffen, with his brigade, left the trenches which, on our side, encompass the base of the Mamelon Vert—that is to say, of the place d'armcs on the left, and of the 3d Victoria parallel. "Three columns rush forward at once on the enemy's works, and carry by storm two advanced cuttings and in termediary ambuscades. A fire 4lf grape from the redoubt, the combined fire of the great Redan and of the batteries to tho left of the Malakhoff Tower, does not impale their advance. " To the right, Colonel Rose, at the head of the Algerian Rifles, carries a battery of four guns annexed to the re• doubt. " Colonel do Drancion, in the centre with the 50th, and. Colonel de Polhes on the loft, with the 3d Zouavcs, reso lutely attack the redoubt itself, throw themselves into the trench, scale the parapet, and cut down the Russian artil lerymen at their guns. _ _ "Colonel do Brancion, who had the honour of being the first to plant his `eagle' on the redoubt, fell in this attack under the grape of the enemy, gloriously enwrapped in his triumph. " Strict ordors had been issued not to go beyond tho gorge of the works, and to form at once a lodgment against the fire and attacks from the town. "But, carried away by their ardour, our soldiers pursued the Russians into the ditch of the Malakhoff battery, 400 metres beyond the redoubt, and tried to enter the enceinte with them. The natural consequence was that they were obliged to fall back under the violent point-blank fire of the enemy's reserves that manned the ramparts. The two wings of the French lino threw themselves back, while the besiegers sent out a powerful column of fresh troops to attack our centre. " The redoubt of the Mamelon Vert could not, as yet, offer any shelter, The fire had either blown up amino laid by tho enemy, or a powder magazine, which hal seriously scorched Commandant Tinier, of the 3d Chasseurs-a-pied, and a number of men. Planks, beams, and burning ropes gave rise to fears of another explosion. The interior of the work was not tenable. Instead of supporting itself on the redoubt, our lines crossed the summit and forms a semicir cle round the Mamelon. " There was not a moment to be lost. General Camou ordered General Verge to leave the trenches; General Bosquot ordered the sth division to advance, which was immediately obeyed by General Brunet. "The movement of this division was imposing; the Ist brigade, commanded by Colonel Duprat de la, Roquette, of the 100th of the line, occupied the parallels behind the Mamelon, and the 2d brigade, under the orders of General Lafent do Villiers, advanced the left in the rear under cover of some rising ground. "The Verge Brigade formed in columns at the same mo ment under the enemy's fire, and, with the drums beating the charge, ascended the hill, and reinforced General Wimp flan's brigade. The position was carried and the enemy driven back a second time into the town ; we were defini tively masters of the Mamelon Vert, which our troops triumphantly occupied, amid shouts, enth us i as ti ca ll y re peated, of " Vice l'Empercur." " It was half-past 7 o'clock, and dusk Was coming on ; as I had foreseen, we had established ourselves in the con quered positions at the moment that darkness would allow our engineers to commence operations to consolidate our selves there. " These works were directed by General Frossard, with Chef de Bataillon Chareton, of the E ng i neers, as com mander Careening-bay side, and De intelligence, and Prdserville on the Mamelon V er t . These works, executed during ofthe y t he nig lt attack wi o th great e Ca intrepidity, roeei remarkable coolness, were solidly constructed by daylight, and enabled us from that moment to resist every attack of the enemy. " All assaulting columns were accompanied by brigades of Sappers, commanded by Engineer officers. These de tachments all fought valiantly. Captain de la Boissiere, of the Engineers, was seriously wounded, as, one of the first, he scaled the parapet of the work of the 27th of,February. The artillery, which plays so important a part in this siege, contributed in a great measure to the day's success. As soon as the assaulting columns had started tho aim of all the batteries of the Careening-bay side and of the Vic toria parallel was changed and turned against the body of the place. During the night a great number of the batte ries were restored. " Moreover, six detachments, consisting each of 15 gun ners, commanded by captains of artillery, marched with the first battalions of the columns to turn the guns of the works taken against the enemy, and to ascertain what work was necessary. All these operations were carried out under the immediate direction of Lieut.-Colonel de La Boussiniere, whose devotion and activity are beyond praise.

(From the Morning Advertiser of this day.) Our countrymen are attached to their ancient institutions. Their nobility is one of them, and it has not the full share of the popular admiration and affection which it possessed during the French Revolutions at the latter end of the past century. The change has been effected partly by the monopoly of Go vernment, and places of honour and emolument, by a portion of that illustrious body, and partly from transferring to the whole the faults of individuals. Too little sympathy has been shown to the middle and lower classes, to either of whom the higher are but as a grain of sand on the sea -shore. If the nobility lose the prestige of public opinion, it is impos sible for it to survive in an institutional character, belonging to and upheld by the nation. The demonstration en Sunday in Hyde-park can be compared to nothing but the meetings of the exasperated Parisians, on hearing of the proceedings at the ill-timed banquet of the Garde du Corps at 'Versailles, on the memorable first of October, 1789, which proceedings, more than all provocations put together, incensed. the French against the nobility, and led to the suppression of the privi leged orders without exception. Napoleon I. created a upbi lity, and some of the old body returned under the Bourbons, but neither were regarded by the nation with any degree of favour. The atrocious murder committed by the Due de Praslin, of whom we wish to believe that he was insane, re vived the old contempt and animosity, which wore not allayed by his suicidal evasion from justice, with the supposed com plicity of Louis Philippe. Tho prestige was gone, and pro bably for ever, and every revolutionary movement of the people has aimed at the establishment of a republic. A mistake seems to gain ground in England. The sins of a-mere handful of titled families, who can command from half-a-dozen to nine, ten, or a dozen electoral constituencies, which enable them to engross all place and power in the State, are transferred to all, and the whole aristocracy is in danger of suffering for a few worthless and incompetent per sons. Nor are the people alone to be blamed for this egre gious blunder, seeing the pains that were taken, not only by the last Government, but the present, composed of the very same men whom the nation expelled with the deepest dis grace, to drag in the aristocracy, as a foil against the indig nant complaints which were evoked by the cold-blooded sacrifice of a large army, to doltish formalities, and an as tounding amount of stolid ignorance of very simple matters of business. Lord Palmerston particularly distinguished him self in this illiberal way of shielding himself and colleagues from public !censure, for he was the very first to draw the eyes of the people upon the aristocracy as a body, when he lavished his fulsome praises upon it, as an answer to Mr. Layard's charges of neglect, ignorance, a nd other phases of incompetence / against th e Ministers who were the authors of our dreadful calamities in the Crimea. An impression has been widely prevalent, for some time, that the higher classes, and particularly those who are in the Legislature, have no sympathy with their less fortunate brethren. The consequence of the injudicious display made by the Garde du Corps, in the theatre of Versailles proves that there is danger in promoting this feeling ; and the mani festation of Sunday cannot fail to have penetrated into thou sands of hearts which have hitherto been slightly affected. „Before wealthy commoners and young noblemen begin to regulate the livelihood of the industrious and useful classes of the humbler order, they ought at least to make some in quiries into its nature and their position. There are thou sands who have no other homes than coffee-houses and public houses. There are hundreds of families in the metropolis alone who work 6 days, from an early hour in the morning till night, and who do not receive their wages until very late on the Saturday night, simply because their employers, how ever willing to pay them, cann ot provide the means earlier. We say, again, that the legislative classes are placing themselves in a false, and it may be, a dangerous position, by attempting to legislate, where, in good truth, they have no legitimate right.

It was the first time the rival crews had met since Easter in last year, and the Cantabs were most de eirous of recovering their lost laurels ; the result of the races since 1849 being in favour of Oxford. After some minutes occupied in getting to their sta tions, they started very evenly, Oxford being on the Berkshire s'de, and their opponents almost mid-stream. After about 20 strokes the Oxonians had the nese of their boat about five feet in advance ; then the Cantabs picked up, came level with them, and in another stroke or two were about two feet in advance. Both were rowing at this time at a fine pace, but the Oxonians wer unable to keep up with their rivals, who, gradually, foot by foot, drew away from them; were fairly a length ahead at Remenharn, and won by eight seconds. The Cantabs, whose style was most beautiful and per fect, rowed in a fine boat built by the Searles. DIAMOND SCULLS. Third Heat.

This was a meeting for the proof of debts and choice of assignees in the bankruptcy of William Strahan, Sir John Dean Paul, Bart., and Robert Makin Bates, who had carried on business as bankers at 217, Strand, and also the business of navy agent 4, at 41, Norfolk-street, Strand, under the style of Halford and Co. The petition was filed on the 11th of Jund. The petitioning creditor is Montague John Tatham, proctor, of 26, Great Carter lane, who is a creditor for 1,594/. in respect of the balance of an account of moneys had and received by the bank rupts as bankers, in respect of which no security or sa tisfaction had been given. The public are aware that criminal proceedings are pending against these bankrupts under the 7th and Bth of George IV., sec. 49, by which any pe rson conv i c t e d of unlawfully ispoaing of securities is liable to be trans ported beyond the seas for any. term not exceeding 14 nor less than 7 years, or to be imprisoned for any term ' not exceeding 3 years. The case caused intense interest, and the court was crowded to excess. The proceedings were commenced by Mr. Lawrence, the solicitor to the pet;tion, who stated that for the sake of convenience sundry proofs of debt had been taken out of court and pasted by the official assignee. His Honour then directed that the names of the re spectiv:e creditors who bad thus proved their debts out of court shoUld now be read aloud in open court, so that it might be ascertained if there were any opposition to them. , Mr. Lawrance said that, in order to mitigate the pres sure in this court, which was extreme, the registrar (Mr. Abrahall) was taking proofs in another court. Mr. Ballantine appeared for Mr. Strahan and Sir J. Dean Paul ; Mr. Parry for Mr. Bates; Mr. Chidley for the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Galway, and other creditors, the aggregate in amount being about 250,0001., and Mr. Linklater for Sir Lucius Curtis and other cre ditors; and Mr. Cooper for several noblemen. Mr. Lawrance said, as a great many of the creditors were present, it might be satisfactory to them to have the figures, which were an approximation at least to the correct sums, so far as he had been able to ascertain them. The following statement was then handed in by Mr. Lawrance : Total creditors unsecured 2502,372 3 4 Add Earl Fitzwilliam's bal. ance of debtor and credi- tor account.. Sir J. D. Paul £1,454 5 0 1,288 15 6 2,743 0 6 £505,115 3 ]0 Deduct, in Sir J. D.

The assets were, as nearly as possible, debtors on loans, 100,000/. ; ditto, amount due on overdrawn account, 20,000/. ; bad and doubtful debts not carried out, 276,446/. ; Halford and Co., 19,0091., which was not an asset ; and bad debts, 31,4001. These items were rather as a matter of account, for, of course, as assets much had depended on realization. With respect to Halford and Co., he might state that the accounts kept at that house were principally kept by a class of persons who were in the habit of drawing in anticipation of their credit. They expected from Halford and Co. about 20,0001. upon over drawn accounts, inasmuch as the debts of Halford and Co. had all to be proved against the estate ; the same partners constituted both firms ; the 20,000/. would be in addition to the sums already given. The firm of Hal ford and Co., if it stood alone, would be solvent with a surplus, inasmuch as the debts proved against the estate were less than the assets by the sum of 20,0001. ; but of course, from the fact that the same men were in both firms, it was really one common account. There were bills dis counted, and supposed to be good, in the bands of the official assignee, to the amount of 9,0001. Sundry shares and securities at the banking-house were estimated at 5,0001. If all the separate debts of Mr. Strahan were paid in full, there would be a surplus to the joint estate of 5,0001. The preceding figures were of course swe without to alteration on subsequent investig a ti on. T he assets would be, speaking in round numb ers , an d j udging from present appearances, 150,0001,, or 160 , 0 c reference to the large sums advanced on foreign rail roads, and which would represent an item of 276 000/ The Official Assignee.— So I h ave guessed ; but I can not speak positively. Mr. Cooper said he appeared for several noblemen and gentlemen who had proved their debts against this estate, and, as the case was one of no ordinary character, be hoped the Court would direct a full sad .searc hi n g in- VentigatiOUe Several of the oreditQr a - m i ght -b ar jigger claims than those for which they had grovel, bat tLey could not discover the exact amount tastel the accounts of the bankrupts had been examined, and the bank rupts themselves, to see what securities had been dig.: posed of by them without the knowledge of their customer,. He bad to ask the Costa, on behalf of-those creditors, and for the convenience of the estate at large, to adjourn the choice of assignees to some ft tare day, and to let the present sitting he devoted to the reception of proofs, as far as they went, - and to the ex amination (if necessary) of the bankrupts. This step was the more necessary, as there would be a severe con-. test as to what gentlemen should be appointed assignees, and that contest ought not to be got rid of. Another reason for adjourning the meeting wa. because, on look ing through the proceedings, it wouid be found there were many affidavits that had been taken at the private hottzes of individuals, some of whom had- given proxies giving c. rtain persons the right to vote on their behalf to-day. It might turn out right and prudent that that should have been done, or it might turn out that those persons who had made affidavits to an itinerant commis sion-r were not aware they had the opportunity of prov ing and voting in person for the choice of assignees. No inconvenience could arise to this estate from an adjourn ment, as, practically, the duties of the assignees would be discharged by the official assignee until trade assignees r t the y Court. periB h a T h l h e a That -roomeede might t the next ee l d room were Crowded with creditors, and most likely many There were grave charges agaiu4 the bankrupts—founded events, e r o bw f ye t rs h ep o ae s Pc e ra w 7i h rn o otel: P o roved would go away without voting. involvedsayth;ebnute,ceastsiatlyl of a full investigation. Those charges might involve charges nc t which vesture some of the creditors who had now proved, and until the examination of the bankrupts it could not be said the proofs were without objection, and that the creditors were all entitled to vote for the choice.

His Honour—l do not see the least reason for an adjournment. Mr. Parry said he appeared for Mr. Bates, who was very desirous, as was the other two bankrupts, to die close for the benefit of the estate certain transactions which had taken place with reference to the securities deposited with the bankrupts by vario us discuss e d creditors before who bad proved th e i r d e bt s to - day. The conduct of the bankrupts wou ld, no doubt, be fully his Honour, who would have to decide upon it ; but, on the part of Mr. Bates, he now asked permission to ex amine him as to certain transactions, behaving , that the disclosures he would make would be beneficial to the creditors. In reference to what had been said as to some of the creditors not knowing what had becom e of their securities, Mr. Bates had prepared the following perfect statement of every security, whether Exchequer. bilk, shares, or other kind of security, and this he was anxious to lay before the court. He was desirous to take the first opportunity of placing it before the Court, and depositing it in the bands of the official assignee. His Honour—Has he given it to the official assignee Mr. Bell—No. Mr. Parry----I now hand it in. The following is the statement referred to : LIST OF PARTIES WHOSE SECURITIES ARE SOLD.

His Honour—Are there' any more proofs ? If so, let them be disposed of first. Mr. Lawrence said the following were prepared to act as trade assignees :—Mr. Brrwis, navy agent, New Boa weli-crurt ; Mr. Charles Appleyard, solicitor, of Lin coln's-inn ; and Mr. Edmund Waller, stationer, Fleet street. These gentlemen were subsequently appointed. No other creditors were proposed in opposition to them. Mr. Lawrance observed that the object they had in view, having regard to the vast number of creditors, and the indisposition of many of them to come into court, was to afford them all the facility in their power, and accordingly an advertisement was put into the papers informing the creditors that they might have their proofs prepared at his office if they chose, and many of them had taken advantage of that offer. His Honour—=That is only the usual course. Mr. Lawrance—Powers of attorney were also for warded to each croditor living in the country. Th e result was that some powers of attorney had been for warded to them, but a great many noblemen and gen tlemen had authorised their own solicitors to vote for them. The charge of employing an itinerant commis sioner was simply untrue. • Mr. Parry renewed his application to Mr. Bates to be examined, stating that his client was anxious to disclose everything he knew as to those transactions. His Honour—l don't see asy reason for it. I refuse your application. If any creditor applies that the bank. rapt may be examined he may do so, but on the bank rupt's own application I refuse it. Mr. Parry—l formally tender this as the declaration of the bankrupts, and your Honour may accept it o r no t. His Honour—Let thena put in what they like, and sign it. This was done. • His Honour then said, any creditor, wishing it can have a copy of this by applying to the official assignee. Mr. Parry (to Mr. Lawrance)—Do you wish to ask the bankrupts any question ? Mr. Lawrance (to Mr. Bates)—Have you signed that statement ? Mr. Bates—l have. Mr. Lawrance—By whom was it prepared Mr. Parry—By three bankrupts jointly. It was pre- pared by Mr. Bates, and signed by Sir J. D. Paul and 16r. Ilirahan. Mr. Lawrance (to the other bankrupts)—Yon have heard that declaration read over and signed it ? The Bankrupts —Yes.
