Ai4 t -r73 Vaitittiort COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) BARNEWILL, PUBLIC OFFICER, V. SUTHERLAND. Mr. GURNEY applied in this case, which was tried before the Chief Baron, at the last Surrey Assizes, and in which a verdict was found for the plaintiff, for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had, or why a verdict should not be entered for the defendant, the latter part of the application being made without the consent of the Learned Judge. The whole of the pro ceedings in the case until a short time previous to the period of the trial were brought in the name of Taylor, a public officer of a banking company, but owing to his death the action was continued in the name of Bernewall. It appeared that the commission. day for the assizes was on the 6th (,f August last, and late in the evening of the sth, and after the defendant's attorney had left his office, the plaintiff's attorney served a notice, intimating the fact, and stating that it would be entered on the re cord, and that the trial would proceed in the name of the present plaintiff. The motion was made on the ground that the trial took place without the defendant having any opportunity of traversing the suggestion on the record, the Learned Counsel submitting that this %%as an important point, for it was an every-day practice to deny the plaintiff being a public officer, because, if he were really and truly nut so, the company were not liable for costs if they were defeated. He also contended that under the 7th end Bth Victoria, the statute amend • ing and enlarging the Banking Act of 7 George IV., the action had actually abated on the death of the public officer. The Court granted a rule on the first point. BANK OF FR.AN CE.

The Vienna papers of the 30th inst. inform us of an amnesty which Baron Haynau published at Pres burg, on the 29th inst., and which includes all those political prisoners whose sentence does not condemn them to more than a twelvemonth's imprisonment. 56 of the numerous prisoners in Hungary were libe rated in consequence of this amnesty. 34 fresh con demnations have roeanAhile been prcnouncfd in Gal!icia, the sentences varying from confinement with hard Ishour for the term of four years down to the term of two months. _ From • Transylvania we learn that two fresh execu tions have taken place in that province. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING —DELAY or THE Cosa ELECTION. — The election for the city of Cork innst be delayed for several days beyond the specified time, in conse quench of a mistake in the transmission of the Sp-aker's writ, which has been addressed to the Clerk of the Crown (Mr. Pierce Mahony), instead of the Clerk ef the Cro All and II inaper (Mr. C. Fitz simon). Mr. Mahony, on receiving the communica• tioa troin the Speakt-ea Secretary, dispatched a letter to the Right Hon. Gentleman, acquainting him with the mistake. The writ. properly directed, may be expected in a tew days. The Cork Examiner, re ceived this morning, expresses surprise at the unac countable delay. Mednwhile the rival candidates, Colonel Chattirton and Mr. Alexander M'Carthy, are making vigorous preparations for the contest. MR. SMI 111 O'BRIEN—THE LIMERICK INSTI TU I li. An iningurative dinner of the above body took piece in Limerick on Tuesday. It was remarkable for the attendance of men of high position, and for a fact—rather uncommon of late days, since " felony " and " felons " made a modern era in Irish history— that th' health of Smith O'Brien was drunk in such an essembly. Maly of the mercantile, literary, and scientific men of the city very present, Mr. William Roche presiding. There were Lord Monteagle, the Protestant Bishop of Limerick, Wm. Monsell, M.P., Augustus S , atford, M.P., Sir M. Barrington, &c. After other toasts had been drunk— " Mr. ROBERT POTTER claimed, as an old member of the institute, the privilege of speaking a few words. He said a paper had been put in his hand, asking why the names of the vice presidents of the society were not toasted on that evening. The names of those vice presidents were Mr. Monsell, Mr. John O'Brien, Mr. J. Roche, and Mr. William Smith O'Brien.— (Treinenduus bursts of applause at the mention of the latter name.) Mr. Potter continued — When the laws of his country immured that sterling patriot, William Smith O'Brien, in a dungeon, he sent down his resignation to this society; and I was in the prison with him when he received a letter back from you, requesting that he would continue to act as vice-president still. I cannot easily describe with what grateful feelings he received that letter; and how proudly and joyfully he answered that he would.—(Vehement cheers.) And though he is now an exile, far away from his native land—that land for which he cherished a heartfelt affection—a love which cost him liberty and his fortune—and though he can no longer give his valuable servicts to this society, still he is our vice-president—(Loud cries of " Yes, yes," and deafening cheers) —and will continue to be so for some time longer—(Hear, hear)—until we trust, with the blessing of God, he will be again restored to his bosom friends in this institution, and act, as he has always done, in a truly honourable and upright manner as vice-president—(Hear, hear) — in c‘mjunction with Mr. Monsell, of whom, as he is here, and can of course speak for himself, I shall at present say nothing. Neither Mr. President, shall I say anything of your venerable brother, from whom au apology has been received; and who, I believe, you have told me, has un this day turned on his eightieth year. Neither shall I speak of Mr. John O'Brien be cause if he were here he could speak for himself; but of r. S. O'Brien, whobecause he loved his country "not wisely but too well," cannot be here, will I speak— I think, Mr. Chairman, you should have the Vice- Presidents on your list of toasts, and that you ought not have omitted the name of William Smith O'Brien, a man who not only was anxious, and worked hard for the advancement of this institution, but who loved his country so dearly, that he p a er d i led greath his all—his ve ry life—for it s sake.—(llear, n Gentlemen I shall now read for you the paper that las been put into my hand. It asks why are not the names of toe vice presidents included among the toasts, and re.ninds yial that William Smith O'Brien, and Lord .o .dare supported this institution when it would have have fallen, but for them. I now again repeat the question, and ask ought they to be omitted? —(Cries of " No, no.") Well, then, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I shall propose, with your permission, the health of the Vice-Presidents. " Drank three times three, amidst the most deafen ing applause, the orchestra striking up ' Welcome home again. "Mr. ROBERT O'BRIEN, of Mulcair, brother to Mr. William S. O'Brien, said it would be wrong of him, however painful the subject, not to rise to return thanks for the honour done his brother, and the way the toast had been received, lie could never forget THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING; NOVEMBER 5 1849 that the Limerick Institution almost stood alone in refusing to cast him off in the time of his trouble ; and in doing so, they marked their appreciation of the high feelings which induced him to sacrifice him self and all that was dear to him to arrest the down ward progress of his country.—(Cheers.) He begged also to return thanks for the honour they had done him in inviting him to be their guest that evening, as he was fully aware that • he had done nothing to deserve it.—(Loud applause.) " Mr. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD also alluded to Mr. Smith O'Brien, and said, " although he differed from his political opinions widely, yet from the many and frequent opportunities he had of conversing with him, he believed him to be attached to Ireland with a strong, devoted, and unmercenary love." That there should be honest, manly Irishmen to express their opinions above board, anywhere and on all fitting occasions, is not matter for astonishment; the matter which the ultra-loyal bigots cannot digest in the business will be—that Dr. Higgin's Protestantism, Lord Monteagle's dignity, or Mr. Monsell's Conser vatism were not overwhelmed by such rebellious pro nouncings. Amid all the lickspittling which takes place around us, the pride that licks the dust, and the mercenary patrioti-m which only lives to subserve England and English interests, at the expense or the degradation of their own, we rejoice to see a scintil lation struck out, now and then, which shows that there is some vitality at the national heart.—Cork Examiner. ORANGE PROCESSIONS ON THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER. The Northern Whig of this day (Saturday) says:— " Our information continues to encourage the ex pectation that there will he no Orange processions on Monday next. The Government, however, are taking the course of wise precaution, and placing troops at the various points where danger might be apprehended ; and the public, of all parties, with the exception of a few of the extreme Orangemen, will sustain them in any necessary measu res to put down di stur b an ce, should it be attempted?' Respecting the military movements, the same Belfast journal contains the following : " No. 2 company, composed of Captain King, Lieutenant Hogge, three sergeants, one bugler, and sixty rank and file, marched yesterday (Friday) from Belfast, en route to Deady, to be stationed there, in aid of the civil powers, until their services can be dis pensed with. No. 8 company, composed of Captain Forester, Lieutenant Brown, three sergeants, two corporals, one bugler, and sixty rank and file ; No. 4 company, composed of Lieutenant Straubenzie, Ensign Murchison, three sergeants, two corporals, one bugler, and sixty rank and file, under command of Major Wilkinson, marched from Belfast at the same time, en route to Ballynahincb, for the same purpose. Tattoo, which has heretofore been at nine o'clock, has been changed to eight." UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

THE MOUNTAINS OF ASIA The mountains of Asia take precedence of a, others in altitude and length of range. The mean height of the Himalaya is stupendous. Captain Gerard and his brother estimated that it could not be his than 16,000 to 20,000 feet; but from the average elevation of the passes over these mowtains, Baron Humboldt thinks it must be under T 5,700. Co lonel Sabine estimates it to be only 11,510 feet, though the peaks exceeding that eleva tion are not to be numbered, especially at the sources of the Sutli-j. Indeed, from that river to the Kalee, the chain exhibits an endless succession of the loftiest mountains on earth ; forty of them surpass the heights of Chimborazo, one of the highest of the Andes, and several reach the height of 25,000 feet at least. The valleys are crevices so deep amd narrow, and the mountains that hang over them in menacing cliffs are so lofty, that these abysses are shrouded in perpetual gloom, except where the rays of a ver tical sun penetrate their depths. From the steepness of the descent the rivers shoot down with the swift ness of an arrow, filling the caverns with foam and the air with mist. Most of the passes over the Himalaya are but little lower than the top of Mount Blanc; many are higher, especially near the Sutlej, where they are from 18,000 to 19,000 feet high; and that north-east of Khoonawur is 20,000 feet above the level of the sea, the highest that has been attempted. All are terrific, and the fatigue and suffering from the rarity of the air in the last 500 feet is not to be described. Animals are as much distressed as human beings, and many of them die; thousands of birds perish from the violence of the winds ; the drifting snow is often fatal to travellers, and violent thunder-storms add to the horror of the journey. The Niti Pass, by which Mr. Moorcroft ascended to the sacred lake of Manasa, in Tibet, is tremendous ; he and his guide had not only to walk barefooted, from the risk of slipping, but they were obliged to creep along the most frightful chasms, holding by twigs and tufts of grass, and sometimes they crossed deep and awful crevices on a branch of a tree, or on loose stones thrown across. Yet these are the thoroughfares for ,commerce in the Himalayas, never repaired, nor susceptible of improv ment, from frequent landslips and torrents. The lot% tiest peaks, being bare of snow, give great variety of colour and beauty to the scenery, which in these passes is at all times magnificent. During the day, the stupendous size of the mountains, their interminable extent, the variety tied k,harpness of their forms, and, above all, the tender clearness of their distant outline melting into the pale blue sky, contrasted with th e deep azure above, is described as a scene of wild and wonderful beauty. At midnight, when my riads of h oft starste mountains insparkle looks d the black earth and p s e k r y , and still below the pure blue the pale white gleam o f th e effect is of unparalleled sublimity ; a nd lan guage can describe the splendour of te sunbeamsoi daybreak streaming between the high peaks, and throwing their gigantic shadows on the o m omuanntai, no below. There , far above the habitation f living thing exists, no sound is heard ; the very echo of the traveller's fbotsteps startles him in the awful solitude and silence that reigns in these august dwellings of the everlasting snow.—Blackwoods Magazine.

THE WEST JERSEY TORNADO.--A Bridgeton paper of Wednesday furnishes some further particulars con cerning the tornado that swept over Cape May on the 4th inst. It made its appearance about five o'clock, travelling from the west towards the east. From the effects ot the wind upon a corn field below Jonas Corston's house, it is believed that two currents of air, one from the north-west and the other from the south west, met together, and after meeting moved eastwardly, literally tearing in pieces everything in its track of 50 yards in width. Fields of corn, fences, trees, barns, dwelling-houses, everything, were as straws in the hands of a giant. A large new house, occupied by Joseph Godfrey, was blown prostrate to the ground, although h . family, consisting of hie wife and two children, miraculously escaped without material injury. The house of Jonas Corston was raised off its foundation, turned over twice, and then torn into a thousand pieces. In this house were two women —one, the wife ot Mr. Corston, was taken up dead about thirty yards distant from where the house stood; the other, named Eunice Young, sister of Mr. Corston, was mangled in such a horrible manner that there is no hope of ber recovery. The next house destroyed was occupied by Somers Young. This was a strong-built two-story house, but not one piece of timber was left standing upon another. The wife of Mr. Young, with two young children, were sleeping in the first story of the house. Although her bed.tead was broken to pieces and the bed blown from under them they escaped unhurt. The second story was occupied by a woman and her daugh ter, who were found in the ruins of the building, con siderably, but not dangerously, cut and bruised. Several outbuildings, shops, and barns were torn down. A large two-story house, occupied by Wal.hington Willets, was taken up, carried about ten feet from its foundation, and then let down without any other material injury. Large trees were lifted out of the ground and carried many yards by the force of the current. A portion of the root of one of the houses was taken up in Peck's bay, more than three miles distant, and shingles, articles of clothing, &c., were found on Absecom- beach, more than five miles from the houses whence they were car ried, to which place, by no possibility, could they have fl sated. Those who heard the tornado described the noise tccompanying it as resembling thunder. It was attended or followed by a vivid blaze of light, so brilliant that the women in one of the houses blown down sup posed that the building was struck by lightning and on fire.—New York Tribune. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, .Nov. 3. ,Sittings at Nisi Prins, in Michaelmas Term, before Mr. Baron PLATT and Common Juries.) ELLIS V. KING. Mr. W. H. Watson - and.llli. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Ball was for the defendant. The action was upon a bill of exchange for 301., drawn at three months after date by one Henry King upon his brother, the present defendant, which had been eventually indorsed to the plaintiff. There were a vast number of pleas put upon the re cord, and amongst others of fraud and covin. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff is a tradesman in the Minories, and also that the de fendant is a clerk in the Post-office, and that on the 26th of March last Henry King had drawn the bill in question upon his brother, the defendant. Upon that very day the bill it seemed from the testimony of one George Lewis, who described himself as an auc tioneer, and the keeper of a " loan office," at 41, Gray's Inn-lane, as well as in the City road, at which office advances were made by way of "loan" of from Si. to 501., came into his hands. When the bill had been placed in his hands, in the first instance, by one Satchell, for the purpose of discount, he had re tained the instrument, stating that he must make some inquiries about the parties to it. The bill having been indorsed by Thomas Bailey and Co. to Satchell, this witness advanced from 131. to 151. upon it by two dif ferent payments, and prior to making any further ad vance upon that sum he had required that Satchell should indorse the bill to him. He then made a further payment of money on account of this bill for 301., in all amounting to 191. 14s. 6d. That was the whole of the advance he had made, and subsequently he sold the bill to a person named E. Levy for 271 To that person he had in due course indorsed it, and by Levy it had afterwards been indorsed to the present plaintiff. Mr. BALL, on behalf of the defendant, contended, that originally there had been no indorsement by Messrs. Bailey and Co. to Satchel], and in support of that line of defence called Mr. Bailey, who having described himself as a com mission agent, carrying on his business in Philpot lane, stated that he had not indorsed the bill to Satchel!, but that he had simply put his name on the back of the bill to oblige, and as an accommodation to his friend, Henry King, the drawer. Satehell then proved that he had himsAf indorsed the bill, because he had been required to do so by George Lewis. Mr. W. 11. WATsoN having replied, Mr. Baron PLATT intimated to the jury that the indorsement by Bailey was clearly a general in dorsement, and that in his opinion the plea, that that indorsement was special, was no defence to the action. The plaintiff was consequently entitled to a verdict. He would nevertheless reserve leave to the Learned Counsel for the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit. From the evidence it was apparent that all that George Lewis had advanced upon the hill of 301. had been 191. 14s. 6d., and then that same man Lewis had gone on to swear that he had sold the bill to E. Levy for 271. Of course the jury could form an opinion of such a transaction. However, in a strict legal point of view the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict for the full amount of the bill. The jury returned a verdict accordingly, but added that they were extremely sorry that the law com pelled them to give such a verdict. One of the jurymen followed up this expression of opinion of the jury as a body, by applying some very strong language of a condemnatory character in re ference to the conduct of the witness George Lewis. Upon the rising of the Learned Judge Lewis made an application to the officers of the court with the view of obtaining the name of the juryman who had offered the opinion just referred to. The application, however, proved unsuccessful, and Lewis thereupon followed the juryman out of the court vociferously demanding his name, for the pur pose of enabling him to adopt ulterior proceedings. Whether he succeeded in his object we were unable to learn. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. CRIMINAL CASES RESERVED.-MRS. MANNING ' S CASE We were informed, at the rising of the Court, that notices had been forwarded by direction of the Lord Chief Baron, intimating to the Attorney- General, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, and Mr. Ballantine—the last named of whom it will be in the recollection of our readers appeared as counsel on behalf of Mrs. Manning at her trial, together with her husband, at the Central Criminal Court, whilst the Learned Sergeant was counsel for the husband only, and the Attorney- General conducted the prosecution—that the Court sitting to hear and consider arguments in "Criminal cases reserved" would on Wednesday morning next hear counsel on the point reserved by his Lordship on the trial, as to whether Mrs. Manning, being a foreigner by birth, was entitled to be tried by a jury " de medietate lingua," or whether that right had been lost to her by her marriage to a husband of English birth. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 3. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN THE MATTER OF EDWARD THOMAS DELAFIELD'S BANKRUPTCY. - TLIE ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. This was an adjourned meeting for the proof of debts, and the last examination of the bankrupt, late lessee of the Royal Italian Opera. Mr. Lloyd, of the firm of Ford and Lloyd, ap peared on behalf of Mr. Pearce, manufacturer of stove grates and fenders, No. 5, Jermyn-street, Re gent-street. to support a proof for 602/. for goods supplied to the bankrupt, and Mr. Arthur Webster, at Willow-bank House, Fulham. Mr. Lewis ap peared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Lawrance for the assignees. The case was appointed for hearing at eleven o'clock ; but owing to a delay of the Commis sioner in taking his seat, the proceedings did not commence until the hour of twelve. It may be re collected, from the report of the case that appeared in The Sun, that on the bankrupt's coming of age, in 1845, he became entitled to a sum of 100,000/. under the will of his late uncle, Mr. Edward Delafield, and that after the payment of certain debts contracted during his minority, he was left in possession of a clear capital of 92,3821. He subsequently became lessee o f the Royal Italian Opera, which responsi- bility terminated in April last, with unsecured debts to the amount of 33,3371., and no assets. Mr. LAWRANCE objected to the proof tendered by Mr. Pierce, on the ground that it was on a judgment obtained against the bankrupt and Mr. Arthur Webster, on a joint debt for goods supplied to Willow bank House. He relied upon ex parte Field, in which the Vice Chancellor Sir Knight Bruce decided that, in case of a joint debt, the creditor could not prove except for the purpose of voting in the choice of assignees against one partner whilst another was in solvent circumstances. In this case there was no partnership strictly speaking, but it was a joint debt. Mr. LEWIS objected to the proof altogether, on the ground that the goods had been supplied to Webster solely, and that the judgment against Mr. Webster and the bankrupt jointly had been obtained during the absence of Mr. Delafield on the Continent. The COMMISSIONER said he had no jurisdiction to revere a decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, and the proof could not be rejected on this ground. Mr. LEWIS then supported the view urged by Mr. Lawrance, and referred to a similar decision by his Honour Vice Chancellor Shadwell. Mr. LLOYD referred the court to a different decision by Sir John Cross, the Chief Commissioner of the Court of Review in cx parte Crossfield, re Samuel Cooper, as reported in 2 Montague and Ayrton, 543. There was no actual partnership between Mr. Webster and the bankrupt, and the decision of Vice Chancellor Sir Knight Bruce only applied to a case of actual partnership, and not to one of a mere joint liability. The decision of his Honour Vice-Chancellor Shad well was similarly irrelevant to the case before the court. Here Mr. Webster was not a trader, or liable to the bankruptcy laws. The COMMISSIONER said he could not reconcile the conflicting decisions. The main principle of the bankrupt law was to effect an equal distribution of the assets of the bankrupt. The judges had, in the main, adhered to the law, the object of which was to throw the creditor on the solvent partner, and thereby to diminish the loss of the body of creditors. This had been the course generally pursued during the last hundred years, and the last decision had been in accordance therewith. He should, therefore, decide that Mr. Pierce could not prove. As to the other point, that of his right to prove for the purpose of voting in the choice of assignees, he must disallow that also. The proof was consequently disallowed altogether. It was stated in court that this decision would affect the claims of four or five other creditors under precisely similar circumstances, whose debts amount to upwards of 4,0001. Mr. LAWRANCE said that the main facts of the present case, as developed in the accounts so satisfac torily prepared by Mr. Banks, were these :—The bankrupt's debts, wholly unsecured, were 33,337/. ; those to creditors holding security were 3,037/.• there were further liabilities to t he extent of 2,9341. To meet the unsecured debts and liabilities there was, at present, not a single shilling of assets. The only chance of the creditors getting anything was in the proceedings instituted against certain parties. The bankrupt, it would be observed, debited himself with a capital, in 1845, of 92,3821. His Honour would find that 81,355/. of the bankrupt's losses was occa sioned by his lesseeship of the Royal Italian Opera. There was a gift of 5,0001. to Mr. Webster. There were also some minor items of losses. The total sum which the bankrupt debited himself with in capital, profits, and debts now owing, was 145,8561. He had no doubt but this amount had been distri buted. The gift to Mr. Webster of 5,000/. was never theless a very suspicious item. At the time of giving it, Mr. Delafield was in good circumstances. The acquaintance originated at college, betore Mr. Dela field was of age, and fir. Webster had made Mr. Delatield a debtor. It was subsequently agreed that Willow Bank should be purchased, which was made with Mr. Delafield's money. Mr. Webster said, and the bankrupt concurred in that statement, that Mr. Delafield gave him that property. The next thing was to disburse a sum of 8,536/. in rebuilding. The whole outlay was thus 13,5261., and which was now said to have been given to Mr. Webster. Mr. Web ster was not now in this country. Mr. Delatield had an influence over him which the assignees had not, and if the Court would now decide that the bankrupt should not pass his last examination until Mr. Web ster had come forward to put the assignees in posses sion of all the information that he possessed, that course would doubtless procure his presence. But the sum of 13,5361. was not all. The house was most luxuriously and sumptuously furnished. Mr. Web ster had, en the 9th of March, 1849, executed a deed, and it was in favour of Mr. Delafield's own attorney. But it was very strange that he had in that deed expressed a doubt of his right thus to dispose of the property. Mr. Beale now claimed a lien of 7,000/. upon the pro perty. A deed was subsequently executed both by Mr. Webster arid Mr. Delafield, in which they jointly and severally ratified what had beoia done. Mr. Beale then paid off a mortgage debt owing to Mr ppleton, and everything in short that the bankrupt possessed became invested in Mr. Beak. The deed was executed on Sunday, the 22,1 of April. This deed was clearly an act of bankruptcy, because Mr. Delafield therein assigned over to Mr. Beale his in terests in the Opera Home, and in short denuded himself, as was now said, of every shilling of property. And yet OR the Ist of May, Mr. Delafield being then abroad, was executed the joint deed of assignment referred to over the property at Willow Bank. The COMMISSIONER—Was this after the act of bankruptcy had been committed ? Mr. L AWRANCE—Yes. The next thing for Mr. Beale to do was to turn everything at Willow Bank into cash. A sum of 10,4001. was realised by the sale. The catalogue was a most interesting docu ment of itself, and the auctioneer's charge was ae great a curiosity in its way. Not that he had any right to complain of what others might pay that gentleman for his services if the property should be proved to be theirs, but if it should be proved hereafter to belong rightly to the creditors of Mr. Delafield, he thought that Court would exercise a liberal use of the pruning knife. Now it was most important that the as signees, in order to sustain their right to this pro perty, should have the opportunity of examining Mr. Webster. The general impression at present was, that Mr. Webster was never in a position to buy the property, and that it belonged to Mr. Delafield. The COMbIISSIONER—AIthough not paid for? Mr. Levritexce—Yes. But there was some uncer tainty as to the portion that had been paid for. Some discussion here ensued upon this point, which was terminated by several creditors joining in say ing that they knew by their own experience that payment had not been made for several thousand pounds worth of property contained in Willow Bank mansion. Mr. LAWRANCE continued—fie thought he had said enough to warrant the belief that when the parties executing . this last deed expressed therein a doubt of their right to thus dispose of the property, a jury would not hesitate to decide that they had not such right. Mr. Delafield was clearly the appa rent owner of the property, and he thought there could be no doubt but he was also the actual owner. lle was anxious to give the bankrupt credit for having placed himself at the disposal of the assignees, and had given every information in his power. But the question was, situated as Mr. Delafi eld was, with debts for so large' an amount, and with not a shilling for his creditors--was it too much to require that he should submit to some personal inconvenience by a delay in passing his examination ? The sum of 10,4001. would remain in the hands of the auctioneer, subject to the decision of a superior court, and it was necessary, for the satisfaction of the assignees, and all other parties concerned, that Mr. Webster's evidence should be secured. With respect to other circumstances that affected the bankrupt's conduct, he might remark that there was in his ac counts a sum of 9,000/. that was only partly vouched, and a further sum of about 4,0001. wholly unvouched. Looking at Mr. Delafield's youth, and the kind of persons into whose hands he had fallen, he did not think, however, that they ought to be very strict in requiring information on this head. From the little value that he had placed upon money, it was very probable that he had expended this sum without being able to produce vouchers. The personal expenses had been large. The ComeassioNee.--eI do not see anything respect ing the amount of the personal expenses in the balance sheet. Mr. CANNLN, the official assignee, referred his Honour to the page in which they appeared, where he found that the amount disbursed under this head was at the rate of about 7,0001. per year. The COMMISSIONER then said that he had listened to all that Mr. Lawrance had said more for the satis faction of others than himself. The only point, after all, was, whether there should be an adjournment, with a view to obtain the presence of Mr. Webster. He thought Mr. Lawrance went too far in requiring that unless his presence was obtained the bankrupt should not pass at all. He could not go that length. His inclination was to have an adjournment for a reasonable period, in order that the circumstances at tendant upon the gift of 5,0001., and the expenditure of 3,000/. more, should be investigated. It was a very large sum to be disposed of in such an unusual way, and he did not see how he could refuse to accede to the wish that had been expressed, to obtain, if prac ticable, the evidence of Mr. Webster. Mr. LEWIS submitted that the assignees had no right to ask for what they had now asked. They had had the opportunity during two months of ex amining the bankrupt's accounts, and had not done anything. All the money that had been received by Mr. Webster, with the exception of the 5,000/ , was handed over to Mr. Delafield. An account had been given to this effect, and Mr. Webster, so far from being a debtor, was a creditor to the extent of 2,3001. The COMMISSIONER—Do you mean to say that notwithstanding all that Mr. Delafield gave, Mr. Webster is a creditor for 2,300/. ? Mr. lawn—Yes, and be thought it was too bad to reserve all these objections to the last moment. The gift of 5,000/. was made at a time when Mr. Delafield was worth 70,000/., and in receipt of an income of 10,000/. It was not necessary for the gratification of newspaper readers to enter into the circumstances which had occasioned the gift. It was sufficient to say that there was not one scintilla of evidence to rebut what had been stated. The moneys referred to had been received by the bankrupt, Mr. Webster's name being merely used. The COMMISSIONER said the bankrupt's enormous losses appeared to have been sustained principally in the seasons of 1847 and 1848. Reference was made, when it was ascertained that the opera loss on the old account of 1947, by taking to the debts due by Mr. Beale, the former lessee, was 21,144/. ; the loss in 1848, 34,7561.; and the loss in 1849, 25,4551. Total, 81,3551. Mr. LEWIS continued—The principal losses were in the payment of salaries. The private creditors were only 2,0601., and although the bankrupt's ac counts related to the disbursement and loss of the large sum of 145,0001., all had been satisfactorily vouched, with the exception of about 4,000/. e adjournment of a bankrupt's examination was always considered in the light of a slur upon his conduct. Mr. Lawrance had acknowledged that the bankrupt had been most anxious to give every information ; and Mr. Cannan, the official assignee, who was present, would confirm this testimony. He ttustcd that the Court would, therefore, pass the examination. His HONOUR said the question was simply this Here was a case in which the bankrupt's debt, were— [ative : To unsecured creditors ... To creditors holding security To liabilities ... ... ... ..X33,376 16 6 .. 3 037 10 0 2,934 8 4 £39,348 14 10 On the other side, what was there to liquidate these debts? Absolutely nothing. The presence of Mr. Webster was desired to explain circumstances that were very singular. Would he confirm those state ments ? That was an important point. Now, it was only four months from the date of the fiat, and yet it was said that the bankrupt should be allowed to pass. Notwithstanding the extraordinary circumstances of the case—notwithstanding the bankrupt did not pro duce sufficient to pay the ordinary expenses of the fiat, this was now urged upon the Court. He found, on reference, that the assets consisted of good debts, 3/. 14s. 6d —(Laughter)—some property, value not ascertained (Laughter) this property, against which no value was put, was an interest in a piece of land of from four to five acres, situated at Sanderton, near Bledlow, Bucks; and an interest in the lease of a mansion, No, 14, Clifford street, Bond-street. The value of the interest in the land was properlyleft blank. The value of the interest in the lease was properly left blank. In short, the case was a blank altogether.— (Great laughter.) It was the wish of the assignees that the bankrupt should exert his influence upon Mr. Webster, in order to procure bis presence, and test the validity of the transfer of property as against the creditors. He thought it but proper to tell Mr. De lafield that it was his duty to accede to this wish. Mr. LEWIS wished it to be understood that the as signees had not before expressed to the bankrupt any desire upon the subject. His HONOUR continued—He did not impute to the bankrupt anything worse than that he had evinced a degree of folly that had operated injuriously to him self as well as to others. He would adjourn the examination to the first Thursday in February next, at one o'clock. Mr. LEWIS inquired whether (as there might be an insuperable objection on the part of Mr. Webster to be examined in this country) his Honour would be willing to issue a commission to take his examination at Brussels ?—(Laughter.) The COMMISSIONER (smiling)—No;l cannot do that. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-S7'REE7'. Mr. Robert Knowles, an auctioneer and appraiser, in Great Cain oridge•street, Hackney-road, appeared before Mr. Arnold upon an adjourned summons, in which he was charged with unlawfully detaining a feather bed, valued at eight guineas, the property of William Jones, the working gunsmith whose case has been so frequently mentioned in this; paper, and attracted so much public notice and commiseration. It may be recollected that the article in dispute formed part of the goods belonging to Jones, which were taken in execution under a writ of fieri facies from the Palace Court, and subsequently transferred to the defendant's premises, where they were sold by auction, and only realised the sum of 14l 155., although their actual value was estimated by the complainant at fifty guineas. Oa examining the condemned pro perty immediately after the sale, it was discovered by the complainant that instead of his own bed, another one of very inferior description had been substituted in the interim, and knocked down, it was alleged, to the defendant's porter for ls. 16s. ; and as all his efforts to obtain compensation had been wholly unsuccessful, he was ultimately com pelled to seek redress at the hands of a magistrate. Several witnesses were examined at the former hearing, the particulars of which have already been fully detailed, and the magistrate adjourned the case to take time for considering his decision upon the somewhat conflicting evidence brought forward on either side. On the case being now called, Mr. King, a solici tor, who attended for the defence, renewed au applica tion he had previously made for the removal of the proceedings before another tribunal,but the complainant strongly Wajected to such a course, and expressed a de cided preference for final adjudication upon the matter in this court. The defendant's solicitor then addressed the magis rate, and contended that the complainant's witnesses had entirely failed in establishing the fact that the bed removed from his house, under the defendant's super intendence, was not the same which was afterwards sold at the auction, while, on the other hand, it was clearly shown by the testimony of the Palace Court officer and another witness, that the bed taken in execution was only worth about two guineas, and that during the interval that elapsed between its seizure and sale it had remained under the charge of the porter, Baldwin, and never left the defendant's premises. It had also been proved that the defendant, in the first instance, had only appraised the bed at two guineas. which could never have been the case if its real value were upwards of four times that amount, and the sum it afterwards realised at the sale was such as to furnish a further presumption that it was the same article, and that its value had been fairly and properly estimated by the defendant. With these observations, he should leave the case in the hands of the magistrate, and he confidently submitted that the charge had not been sustained, and that the summons must:therefore at once be dismissed. Mr. ARNOLD, in pronouncing judgment, said that there was certainly a good deal of difficulty in the case, from the absence of direct proof that the bed actually removed from the complainant's house was not the same as that subsequently sold at the auction, but after carefully considering the testimony of the complainant's aunt, who had originally made up the bed, and had seen it for years in his possession up to the week prior to its seizure, together with other cor roborative evidence to the same effect, he could come to no other conclusion than that another bed, of an inferior description, had by some means or other been substituted for the complainant's, and that it produced at the sale a much smaller amount than his own would have realised. He fully exonerated the defendant from all moral culpability in the transaction, but could not help expressing his regret, that instead of entirely disregarding the complaint preferred by Junes on the day of sale, as he appeared to have done, he had not instituted an immediate investigation into the matter, which would probably have obviated the necessity of any further proceedings. Under all the circumstances, he considered that the charge had been satisfactorily made out, and fixing the value of the bed at the lowest amount at which it had been estimated, while the one sold at the auction had only produced 1/. 165., he should order the defendant to pay the difference, namely 3/. 45., together with the costs of the witnesses, exclusive of the complainant's own relations, who waived all claim to compensation for the loss of time and inconvenience they had in curred in their attendance. On hearing the decision, the defendant made two or three attempts to address the magistrate, but was stopped by Mr. Arnold, who intimated that the case was disposed of, and he must decline to hear any fur ther observations upon it. The following communication from a solicitor, who had gratuitously conducted the prosecution of an appeal on behalf of Jones, against the judgment obtained against him at the suit of the loan society, in the Palace Court, was received by the magistrate : " Sir,—William Jones has this day received the sum of 11. 35„ which the judge of the Palace Court ordered to be returned to him, and I have been paid the law costs in which the plaintiff Ford was condemned, amounting to 6L 17s. Bd. As these costs result from proceedings in which Jones has been the sufferer, and as I professed to undertake his case without remuneration, I beg to place the sum in your hands, and I have to re quest the favour of your adding it to his list of contribu. tions. The above includes a fee of one guinea paid to his counsel, which that gentleman has returned. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " A SOLICITOR TO THE PALACE COURT. " T. J. Arnold, Esq." A QUIXOTIC ACCIDENT.—A curious accident happened last week in the neighbourhood of Chichester. In order to avoid a picket, a private of the Coldstream Guards, lying in our barracks, took refuge in the Port field Windmill, and on leaving by the opposite door he was struck by one of the sweeps and cArried a consider able distance into the field. Ile was conveyed to the in firmary in a state of insensibility.—Brighton Gazette. A gold imperial coin of Flavius Jovianus has lately been discovered by a poor boy, at Seater. It is rare and valuable, few coins having been struck in the Em peror's brief reign of eight months, in the year 363. .Lincolnshito Chronicle. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER Manning has not had any communication with his relatives since his arrest at Jersey; indeed, for some time before the murder he had ceased to have any ntercourse with them. This is accounted for by th-; ill-feeling which was known to exist betweeli his family and his companion in crime, Maria Manning. Manning has another brother and sister in London. The brother just referred to has only recently re turned from the Mauritius. He received, on Wed- nesday, the following letter from his wretched re- "My dear Edmund,—l have an order for you to see me on Friday evening. Come with Mr. Binns. " Your most affectionate brother, " F. G. MANNING. "llorsemonger-lane Gaol, Condemed Cell, Oct. 31, 1849," The interview accordingly took place about one o'clock on Friday, in the presence of the Rev. Mr. Roe, the chaplain of the gaol ; Mr. Keene, the governor; Mr. Binns, the solicitor, and the officers of the gaol aprinted to be constantly with the unfor tunate man. Manning was seated in the condemned cell at a small table, and so altered and mentally pros trated that his brother scarcely knew him. He shook hirn fervently by the hand, and held his hand in his grasp tor some moment!, during which time neither was able from the force of their emotions to utter a word. Those present were moved by the sadness and the awful reality of the scene. At length the brother said, " Surely, Frederick, you are not guilty of this horrible charge ?" Man ning immediately replied, " No, lam innocent. I have told Mr. Roe everything. I have confessed all to him; have I not, Mr. Roe ? (Mr. Roe nodded assent). Edmund, she murdered him. I was up stairs dressing myself at the time she shot him. I did not know she was going to do so. I had no hand in the murder. Mr. Rue knows lam innocent." The unfortunate man continued to assert his innocence with much vehemence and excitement, and then added, in consequence of his brother having asked him if he had not written to his wife to cleanse her breast by a full confession, " Yes, and I have authorised you, Mr. Roe, have I not, over and over again, to get her to see me, because I could put such questions to her that she could not evade." Mr. Roe replied, that he had done as he said, but that she had declined to see him. Manning then handed to his brother the letter he had written to his wife, beginning, " I address you as my wife," and couched in the most endearing terms, to confess, so that the world might know the great disparity between their guilt—how innocent he was, and how deeply guilty was the part she had played in the awful drama, for upon the truth of her statement depended the issue of life and death to him ; and as she knew he was innocent, he implored her to save him from an ignominious death upon the scaffold. The letter concluded by imploring his wife to grant him an interview. The letter covered three pages of letter paper. Mrs. Manning, soon after the receipt of the above, called for pen, ink, and paper, and indited a long letter to her husband, and covered four sides of letter paper, closely written. She began by saying, " I address you as my husband," and it contained more than once the expression "my dear." She said, in effect, that she was innocent of the diabolical charge of which she had been shamefully convicted, and that he alone could save her. Then, upbraiding him with the course he had pursued towards her from the pe riod of his arrest up to the trial, she went on to say that he alone could save her—that she could not think of granting him an interview until he had stated in writing that she was innocent of Mr. O'Connor's murder. Then followed this remarkable statement : —" You know that the, party who went with you to Jersey committed the murder, and that I was from home when it was committed ;" adding that if he would make this statement in writing she would grant his request and gee him. It will be seen that she en deavoured to induce her husband to declare that a third party committed the deed, that she was far away from the scene of blood at the time, and that the third party and her husband fled to Jersey after the commission of the murder. Manning's brother, atter he had perused the letters, exclaimed, " Frederick, she exculpates herself from the charge, and accuses a third party; who does she mean ?" He replied, "My dear fellow, her state ment is altogether false ; no one accompanied me to Jersey. I know, Edmund, you will believe me when I assert that I am innocent, for you have always been try best friend, and I should never have married that woman if I had listened to your advice." After a long pause the brother urged his unhappy relative to make his peace with God, who would receive his soul if he was, as he said, innocent of the awful crime. Ile immediately exclaimed again, «My dear Edmund, I am innocent, as Mr. Roe knows perfectly well. I hope God Almighty will commit my soul to hell flames if I am guilty of this murder. Mr. Roe is in possession of the whole of my state ment. I have told him all. I declare most solemnly that I shall die innocent of Mr. O'Connor's murder. I never hurt a hair of his head." He asserted his innocence, and declared he was perfectly prepared to meet his Maker. There no longer exists any doubt that it is the in tention of Mrs. Manning's legal a iviser to bring the point raised by her counsel at the trial, that she should be tried by a jury partly composed of foreigners, before a higher tribunal. A certificate was signed by Mr. Parry that he considered the decision of the judges erroneous, and there were good grounds for an appeal to the House of Lords. This certificate was forwarded to the Attorney- General, whose sanc tion it was necessary to obtain before an appeal could be made, and that Learned Gentleman, after consult ing with his professional brethren who conducted the case with him on the part of the Crown, wrote back to Mr. Solomons, Mrs. Manning's attorney, refusing to give his consent, as he perfectly agreed with the decision of the Learned Judges. The Attorney- General, however, added that Mrs. Manning could bring the point for discussion and decision before the Court of Appeal in criminal cases, appointed by the late Act of Parliament, and that, as far as he was concerned, he would afford every facility for bringing the matter to a speedy issue. Of course the object of the prisoner was delay, because the appeal to the House of Lords could not be tried until after the meeting of Parliament, whereas the appeal to the Court of Appeal in criminal cases will be disposed of very speedily. The execution of the Mannings, husband and wife, is appointed to take place on Tuesday, the 13th inst., at Horsemonger-lane gaol. The day is fixed by the Sheriff in all cases ; the time allowed between the sentence and the execution varying according to the custom of the several counties. The day fixed in the case of the Mannings will give time for an argu ment in the Court of Appeal in criminal cases on the point made for Mrs. Manning, should it be -seriously persisted in.. Another case, scarcely less remarkable for treachery and deliberate cruelty, is the case of a young man, Aired Jordan, alias Dowland, who attempted the life, at Dulwich, of a woman that trusted him, and who at the very moment bore in her bosom the unborn pledge of her affection. This is as bad a case of at tempted murder as there is on record ; but as it is, by the interposition of Divine mercy, an attempt only, it is possible that the culprit may escape through the merciful interpretation which of late years has limited almost exclusively the execution of the capital punish ment to cases of actual murder. Monday has been the usual day for executions in the metropolis ; but Tuesday is substi uted in order to avoid the necessity of any preparations being made on the Sunday night preceding.—Sunday Paper.

United Service Gazette, THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3.—The grain trade this morning rub d excessively dull.

The de mand fur oatmeal was likewise languid, but holders re fused to submit to lower prices. Into Liverpool and Runcorn the arrivals from Ireland are to a fair extent; but from abroad or our own coast the supplies are very light. Our market this morning was unrelieved by any new feature. In the value of the best descriptions of English wheat, however, no material change occurred, but inferior and Irish must be noted Id to 2d per 70lb cheaper. In flour there was very little business passing, at a reduction of 6d to is per sack. Oats were the turn lower, but oatmeal was held for the rates of this day se'imight.

I.—At ourmarket to-day the numbers were —oxen, 540; sheep, 4,845. The supply of cattle was small, and they were middling in quality. Sales rather dull. Best ox beet, 484; second, 35s to 455; cows, bulls, and inferior beasts, 30s to 35s per cwt, sinking the offal. We bad a larger supply of sheep, which rendered them nearly unsaleable at fully a decline of 23 per head on the best wethers. Best aged wethers brought 4d, middlii g 3id and 4d, old slack ewes 3d to 4 , 1 per lb, sinking the offal. A great por tion of both oxen and sheep turned out unsold. Pigs in demand at 34s to 36s per cwt. CORK, Nov. 2.—We have to report fair supplies of home grain, the receipts of which for the weeek amount tot—Wheat, 3,326 brls, at 15s to 21s per barrel; barley, 7,606 brls, at 7s to lls 4d per barrel; oats, 10,596 brls, at 6e 6d to 95 4d per barrel. The trade in wheat is scarcely as active as it was last week, but prices con tinue without any change of importance. In prepared and foreign wheat we have little business passing, at late rates. As regards the first-named article holders ask prices relatively too high, as compared with those of foreign, to admit of any sales of consequence. DlvAting barley continues to be inquired for, and the value of the article has advanced a little, but grinding qualities are scarcely as free of sale. Oats, which still come in abun dantly, are 2d to 3d per barrel cheaper. In prepared oats we have scarcely any transactions to report, the rates demanded by holders, namely those of last week, 85 9d to 9s per barrel, free on board, being still too high to induce purchasers to come forward to any extent. The flour market is as last noted. We continue to ex perience a fair consumptive demand for well conditioned samples of old flour, but new is neglected and difficult of disposal. Coarse qualities still meet a free sale. Indian corn, in the lace of sev, nil arrivals, is an exceedingly dull sale at a decline of 2s 6tl to 5s per ton from our last quo tations, the current value of the article being 61 7s 6d to 61 12s 61 per ton. Italian meal is entirely neglected. Flour—First 13s Od to 13s 6d ; extra Iss Od ; seconds, 12s to 12s 6d ; households 9s to I Is; thirds, 6s to 8s per cwt.
