LEGER. 7to 4on Field. 2to lon Two (offered) AQUATICS. THE GREAT SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO, BETWEEN _HENRY CORBY AND HENRY WALTER. This race has for a long time past created a great inte rest among rowing men, each of the competitors having distinguished themselves at the Gravesend regattas of the last season or two. Since the match was made each man has been in active training, Corby goingto Mr. Wilcox's, White Hart, at Barnes, under the care of George Robins, and Walter, accompanied by T. Grant, at Mr. Salter's, the Feathers, Wandsworth, until within the last week, when Corby removed to the Three Crowns, at Gravesend, and Walter to the Ship and Lobster, Gravesend. Each man having taken great pains over training, their friends and admirers were sanguine on the result, and an unusual amount of money was speculated Corby being the favourite at about sto 4. The match took place this day, the distance being from Cliff Creek, about four miles below Gravesend, up to North Fleet Creek. Three steamboats were chartered to accompany the race, awl, in consequence of the fineness of the weather, the whole of them were crowded. Mr. Alexander Ross, of Gravesend, was chosen umpire for Corby, and Mr. Henry Salter, of Wandsworth, for Walter ; Mr. Chas. Smith, of Blackwell, acting as re feree. Corby having won the toss for choice of stations, they then proceeded to take up their respective positions, Corby choosing the north side ; and at five minutes to one a very excellent start was effected, Corby almost immediately taking the lead, and increasing it at every stroke. At Coal House point, a distance of about one mile, he had gained as lunch as eight or ten lengths, which he still continued to increase—the wind blowing high from the Essex shore, causing heavy left-hand labour all the way. Off Graves. end, Corby was leading by nearly half a mile, after which he rowed easily, and reached the winning -boat in exactly 40 minutes ; Walter coming in two minutes be hind, having rowed the whole distance most manfully, although without the least chance of success.

It immediately sugges'ed itself t o th e benevo lent mind of the able and energetic captain, Mr. Ryan, that something should be done to honour th ese Crimean heroes, and accordinglhibeading a subscrip t i on li st, to gether with Mr. Willis, be canvassed the whole of the passengers, collecting nearly 41., with which a very sub stantial cold luncheon was at once provided. The su perior officer of the party, after dinner, made a very neat speech, thankingyaptain Ryan and the company for the kindness shown himself and comrades. T/VITERSALL'S—MONDAY. The dullness which pervades the turf money market was uninterrupted. Although bookmakers mustered in considerable ft )rce yet there was a significant absence of backers of t iorses. The investments on The Leam ington Stakes were few and far between.

Two to 1 P raa laid against him to a " pony," and, as nearly as w;u could ascertain, those odds were taken to upwards. of 1001. about Fazzoletto. The last bet about the Malton horEe was 75 to 40.

[FEARFUL SHIP WIMCK AND LOSS OF LIFE. - We regret to have to announce the total lose, by lightning and shipwreck, o f th e Chi na s hi p Ben A von , outward bound from L on d on t o Sh ang h a i , atten d ed with distressing sacrifice of human life. The unfortunate ship belonged to Messrs. Leslie and Co., and was comparatively a new-built vessel, nearly 800 tons burthen. She was chartered by Messrs. W. 0. Young and Co. for a voyage to Shanghai, ant left the London Docks, where she loaded, on the 9th of last March, for her destination, having a valuable cargo of merchandise on board ; Mrs. Scott, the wife of the com mander, Capt. R. S. S.3ott, and Mr. Leslie a son of the owner of the ship, going out in her as passengers, who unhappily were among the number who were drowned. The catastrophe appears to have oczurred on the 16th of June, when the ship had arrived within 40 miles of Amoy, and is thus detailed in the protest made by Capt. Scott of the vessel's loss, which was received by the re cent overland Indian mail : to_ v 141 iNG SEPINIfIEfI 2 1-:, THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. AQU ATICS. KEW ROYAL RNOATTA. A very excellent regatta came off yesterday at the above pretty place, and attracted a vast concourse of spectators. For many years there has been no regatta at Kew, and Messrs. Williams, Wise, and Wapshot, watermen, feeling that such a thing was very much wanted, went about, and by great exertion ,succeeded in getting up such a day's sport as we hardly ever remember to have seen at a waterman's wager. There were no less than four different races, three of which were arranged in heats, and the fourth a scratch match —the whole being under the excellent management of the watermen above•mentioned. The racing commenced at one o'clock and lasted till dark, and was under the distinguished patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cambridge, Lo; Kilmorey, Dowager Duchess of Northumberland, and a large number of resident nobility and gentry. Subjoined is the sport : WATERMEN'S SINGLE SOMBRE' MATCH. First Heat. Thomas Powell — (White) 1 E. Mariner (Blue) 0 W.

First Heat. _ _ George Pigott . . (Blue) 1 G. Richards (White) 0 T. Richards _, (Red) 0 Blue won as he liked. "The Ben Avon proceeded satisfactorily on her voy age until the Bth of June. We then encountered dark and cloudy weather, with torrents of rain. About one o'clock on that day a tremendous peal of thunder broke over head, and at the same moment the ship fare and aft was struck by lightning. It was an appalling scene, every one on deck was struck down with force, and the whole vessel and rigging presented a vivid mass of fire. On re covering themselves they immediately examined the ship to ascertain the extent of damage the electric fluid h td done. It had stripped most of the copper off the rig ging and mast, knocking off chocks, starting bolts, &0., descending to the main deck, set on fire some paper, melting the lead that covers the rudder-head, and bent the pivot on which the compass card plays. We imme diately listed the ship over, and repaired the damage the best way we could. On comparing the compasses, we found them very much damaged, yet we were compelled to select one which we thought to be the least in error, and proceeded on. Several days passed with the same dark cloudy weather, with variable light winds from the north to the south-east. On the 12th, about noon, we got a very imperfect sight of the sun, which placed the ship about 150 miles south of the Pratas Shoal. We accord ingly shaped a course to pass to the eastward, about 60 miles, keeping the lead-log constantly going. From that time, up to the 16th, on the night on which she was lost, no further observation could be made. The weather was similar to that which they had previously met with, oppressively dark and cloudy, accompanied with much rain. Shortly after midnight of the 16th the wind fresh ened up to a gale; increasing in fury hourly with inces sant heavy rain. At 3.30 a.m. the ship wag felt to graze as if she was passing over a shoal; but directly after she struck with great force, parting in two immediately, and fell over with her deck to the sea, which broke furiously over, sweeping everything from it. The mast soon gave way, and in less than 10 minutes the whole ship was broken up. The ship's company clung to the spars and the fragments of the wreck that were floating about, and in this way 23 out of 28 succeeded in gaining the shore. All, however, were more or less wounded by the spars and the breaking up of the ship. The whole of the cargo was thrown out into different parts of the coast, which was plundered indiscriminately by the natives, who mus tered in great numbers and beat off the men when an attempt was made to rescue it from their hands. The spot where the ship struck was on a point to the east wardlof Howtoo. The course we were steering, after sighting on the 12th, was borrowing largely on the For moso, on account of our compasses being one and a half points more easterly than the one steered by." The names of those drowned are omitted in the pro test; but by private letters received, the melancholy fate of Mr. Leslie and the wife of Capt. Scott is placed be yond a doubt. Second Heat. R. Ledger (Blue) 1 J. Miall (White) 0 J. Goss (Red) 0 They were level for 50 yards, when Red rowed across Blue and fouled him, notwithstanding which Blue won as he liked. Third Heat. J. Richards ... E.

Those conversant with the habits of our fishermen are aware that a bad herring season is to them what a bad harvest is to the country. It is to the produce of the herring fishery that they look for the redemption of their debts, for the payment of the tradesmen who supply them with their boats, nets, and other " work gear," and for the provision (if any is made) against the shortcomings of other parts of the year. The present season has been on the whole a very bad one, and though some of the boats, by good fortune or good management, aided by higher prices, have made out their average profits, others have had to return with half a dozen fish in the bottom of their boat, as the sole reward for the right long toil of four or five men. Under these circumstances it is not to be wondered at that people view with alarm and distrust the large fleet of French luggers which every year resort to the east coast for the purpose of fishing. A visitor sees from the cliffs of Tynemouth or Oullercoats, in the season, from 15 to SO lar ge th ree - mas t e d vesse l s , eac h manne d by 14 or 16 sailors, and wanting nothing but guns to convert them into a formidable gun-boat flotilla. The French system of bounty and protection sends them here, partly for the purpose of catching herring, and partly to train and exercise seamen, which the naval conscription can at any time of emergency draft into the French navy. The Government pays a bounty upon the fish taken, which would otherwise find their way into the French market, as into the markets of other countries, from the hands of the English fishermen. The herring fishing is carried on here in small boats, or " nobles," containing three to five men and boys. In the dark nights, therefore, the large and heavy French vessels, powerfully manned, run down over the nets of our men, and, while dragging in their own nets by means of grappling irons, often carry off the nets and fish of our fishermen. Remonstrances are of no avail in a high wind and a foreign tongue, especially with those who have might on their side ; and the bitterness which is thus engendered will probably find expression some night in a volley of fire arms, as was threatened last summer by some of the northern fishermen. Such a state of things passes rapidly from bad to worse, and it will be wise to take steps to prevent such an explosion. The French Government;with that attention to details which seems to be beneath the notice iof ours, sends every year three war steamers to cruise on the coast, for the purpose of watching the movements of their fishermen, principally to prevent them from buying in stead of catching their fish. There is no doubt, how ever, that any misconduct of the French fishermen, which comes under th e no ti ce o f th e F renc h nava l authorities, would be punished and repre , sed. The French consul here, too, is readily accessible, and it is but just to that functionary and his officers to say that they have, in !previous years, promptly ex erted themselves to obtain redress for losses sustained by our fishermen from the aggressions of the French. On our side there is the Fishery Board, costing the country, we believe, some 30,0001. a-year, and confining itself to the pretence of earning its salary by stamping crowns upon herring barrels and punching holes in codfishes' tails. A. fisherman who had some nets carried off by our allies two seasons ago was simple enough to write to the Fishery Board with his complaint, and received for an swer a recommendation to apply to the French com mandant the next time he visited the coast the following season. The coast guard, thinly scattered over miles of fright ful rocks and-dismal weather-beaten beach, have enough to do without putting to sea at night, in unsafe boats, to protect their natural enemies, the fishermen. It is to our navy, then, that we roust look, and where is that ? Northumberland and Durham never see it. W e suppose that the climate is too cold and the weather too boisterous for the sailors of the Solent. It is pleasanter to smoke cigars out of the windows of the marine hotels of the Isle of Wight, or to swagger in uni form up the Higla street of Portsmouth, than to face northern blasts, where nothing in the shape of prize money is to be earned. Sir C. Wood we think can scarcely know there is such a river as the Tyne, or he would deem it worth the presence of a ship of war. If be would consult the hydr >graphers of the Admiralty, they would inform him, and furnish him with admirable surveys of the coast. With these and ample sailing di. rections, two or three small steamers might surely fol low in the track of La Corse, La Biche, and La Reine Hortense. No man acquainted with our fishermen and seamen could read without a smile the solemn platitudes of the First Lord of the Admiralty on the expediency of making our seafaring population familiar with her Majesty's ships, the best and most obvious means of doing so, which we have here pointed out, being so constantly and consistently neglected.—Newastle Chronicle. NoRTHAMPToNSMIMIThe past week has been one of better promise for the harvest. Since yes= terday week no rain of any amount has fallen, and, with little sunshine, the corn has had the benefit of strong daily breezes. A good deal of corn has in consequence been carried, and in many cases in better condition than was expected. We are in clined to think that, havin2 been greatly blessed by suns of enormous ripening power, the rains that followed them have not done by any means so much injury as had been supposed. That positive benefit was zonferred upon the turnip and mangold wurtzel crops is certain, and has been made evident by the rise in the price of stock accustomed to feed upon those roots. The mischief that has been ' done is principally local and individual. The barley that has been laid is, no doubt, somewhat damaged in that portion of it next the ground, but the changes from south to north and from north to south in the wind have prevented the barley from being much laid. Mown barley has undoubtedly suffered. Some of the early cut wheat may have been a little grown, particularly in the bindings, but not, we think, to any serious extent. The chief injury has been to those that have been induced to • Lrry their corn, and that into barns, too rapidly, and to the needy farmer, that was anxious to con vert his corn into cash iu a state fit for immediate grinding. As to tho community at large, they have probably been benefited to a certain extent by the increased quantity which the rains had given to the corn that had grown " too quick," and be come a little shrivelled. In this way also the far mers have benefited, in addition to the escape they have had from an unnatural depression and fluc tuation in prices. Had the weather continued fine a week longer than it did, we think the price of wheat, from the hurry of agriculturists to realise, might, and would, have fallen below 60s. the quarter, only to rise again with unwholesome rapidity. Upon the whole, we are inclined to think that the British average of produce will be rather below than above the ordinary amount, and that till another seeding season has been followed by another harvest, the Russian territory must prove less than usually productive.—Northampton Herald, Aug. 30. GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—The weather since our last has been very showery and unsettled; still the rains have not been of any long continuance. During the intervals of fine weather a great deal of corn has been secured in good order iu this neighbourhood. We are afraid, however, that in some instances the wheat, being over ripe previously to being cut, a great deal of waste has arisen in carting it from the field to the rick. The unfavourable weather which has thus prevented in some degree the in gathering of the wheat crop appears to have been pretty general throughout the United Kingdom. In the more northern counties complaintsare made of the cold as well as the wet, and the harvest is not likely to become general in Yorkshire and other parts adjacent for at least a fortnight hence. The reports respecting the potato crop are various, still, upon the whole, we are inclined to think that it will be found that this precarious root will prove quite as productive as last year. In the neighbourhood of Hereford complaints are made. of the sprouting of the crop to an extent likely to prove injurious ; this probably occurs only amongst the earlier varieties, which, becoming quite ripe and dry owing to the hot forcing weather we experienced at the beginning of the month, sprouted in the ground after the drenching rains of last week. Under present circumstances it would be premature to speculate upon the amount of damage done in this vicinity to the wheat and barley crops ; but from all we can gather, we be lieve it will be found much less than it was at one time apprehended. We append the following com munication from a trustworthy source :—" A most timely change in the weather took place on Friday the 22d inst., and we have had good weather for the harvest from that time till now, with the ex ception of a passing shower, which has kept us on the alert to secure every available hour. Great progress has been made, very many noble ricks have been got together in good condition, and the harvest prospects are decidedly cheering. The stubbles will be ready for the sportsman by the Ist September in this neighbourhood, but bagging,' although an improved mode of cutting Lammas wheat with a clean stubble, exposes birds to the net of poachers."—Gloucestershire Chronicle, Aug. 30. THE MOORS IN THE .NORTH. (Front the Inverness Courier.) The experiences of sportsmen throughout the country this season are not generally favourable as to the extent of sport. The returns show that on almost alt shooting moors a great proportion of the birds shot are old ones, and there is little doubt that the heavy rains in the early part of the season did much damage to the broods of newly-hatched grouse. In some places the birds are packed, and as wild as in the month of November, though on many moors our reports show good sport. A corres pondent, writing from Caithness, says-" That for many years past, grouse have not been so abundant as they are this season. Some of the birds are weak, owing to the cold and backward spring, which must have retarded their breeding much, yet the sport has been goad. On the Strathmore moors, Capt. Phelps, Mr. Dawson, Mr. J. Dawson, Mr. Simpson, and Mr. Chandless, killed in days'shooting, 801 brace (1,602 head) of fine birds each gun killing 18 to 30 brace per day. At Brawls Castle, Capt. Fendall and Mr. Brown have had excellent sport-killing 388 head in , 7 days' shooting, on the 12th, 421 brace ; on the 18th, 361 brace ; on the 19th, Mr. Brown was out alone, and killed 271 brace; and on the 20th the two guns were out and killed 36 brace. Birds very numerous." On the Fors° moors (Caithness), on the 12th, Major Stuart, of Edinburgh, had a good day's shooting, having bagged 581 ; on the same day 11. W. P. Smith, Esq., of Olrig, bagged 261 brace of gr ouse on the Achalibst6r moors; and at Langwell, T. E. O. Horne, Esq., who usually makes a heavy bag, killed 47 brace. On the Stirkoke moors on Monday, the 18th, Mr. Ken ney and Mr. Ogilvie shot 65 brace, and on the 19th Mr. Kenney shot 23 brace after 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Besides other weighty bags of birds, Mr. Horne we learn shot two handsome stags on the Glut Ground in Strath more, towards the end of last week. In Argyleshire the birds have suffered inure orless from disease, and young birds are very scarce and smell. At Knockdon, J. La mont, Esq., bagged 25 brace with his own gun on the 12th, 20 brace on the 13th, and 10 brace on the 14th, af:er 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The birds were generally string on wing, but fewer young birds than usual on account of the early season being so wet. From Strath conon, we learn that the grouse are very scarce. On the idigh grounds there are no birds, old or young; and on the low grounds only one or two young birds are to be seen here and there. The old birds are also few, and many of them still diseased. The black game aid ptarmigan ap pear te have suffered in the same way. At Scatwell on 1.2.1, Aug., Mr. Mackenzie, of Muirton, and Mr. John Mackenzie, shot 23 brace of grouse and 4 hares. Oa the 16th in't., the same party shot 23 brace grouse and 4 hares. On the 214, the same parties shot 2 roe deer, 8 hares, 5 brace blackcock, 3 brace grouse, and 2 couple of woodcock. At Lochiuichart, Lord Sydney was out on the 13th fur a few hours, and killed 8 brace ; and on the 14th, his lordship, accompanied by Mr. Milemay, shot 16 brace. Oa the 15th, Mr. Milemay shot 11 brace. On the 16th, Lord Sydney, 131 brace. On the 18th, Mr. Milemay, 171 brace. Oa the 20th, Lord Sydney and Mr. Milemay, 161 brace and 4 black-game. The birds are generally very small. On the 12th, James Kaye, the Lochluichart keeper, shot 9 brace in a short time. At Gladfield, Bonarbridge, Mr. Lamont, on the lsth, bagged 35 brace to his own gun, and on the fol. lowing day 30 brace. On Tuesday last, at Shieldaig, in Geirloch, Mr. Ward Hunt and Mr. Frederick Eden killed 57 brace of grouse, 1 plover, and 1 hare. Since the 12th the two Mr. Hunts and Mr. Eden have, we hear, killed 379 head of game, 339 being grouse. On the Hill of Cahaae, marching with the forest of Strathconan, Mr. Gordon of Nethermuir had three days fair sport, consi dering the season ; and Mr. G. Gordon, in four days last week,!balged 491 brace of grouse and 8 mountain bares -a very large proportion of the birds being old cocks. From Knockie we learn that the birds are in a very goad condition, and the sport there has been good. On the 12tb, Colonel Adair and Captain Grant shot, in two hours. 12 brace of grouse ; on the 13th, Colonel Adair and H. E. Adair, M.P., shot, in four hours, 22 brace of grouse; on the 14th, the same two gentlemen shot, in a few hours, 141 brace of grouse and some hares ; on the 16th, in two hours, 121 brace of grouse; and on the 18th the same two killed 91 brace of grouse ; on the 19th, Captain and H. E. Adair, Esq., shot 27 brace of grouse and some hares ; on the 21st, H. E. Adair killed, after 1 o'clock, 181 brace of grouse and one hare; and on the 22d, H. E. Adair shot 161 brace of grouse. At Tulchen Lodge the sport continues very good. On the 20th, Mr. Wynn Williams shot 17 brace ; and on the 22d, 12 brace. On the 21st, Mr. F. Walker bagged 40/, and on the 221, 24 brace. The salmon fishing is excellent. At Glenlivat, Mr. Caldwell had but moderate sport, the grouse being very scarce on the high gr mind. On the 14th, in two and a half hours, be killed brace; on the 16th, 43 brace and 4 bares ; on the 19th, 311 brace; on the 221, 23 brace ; and on the 23d; 211 brace. At Gien-Rothes, Mr. Maclean and party shot, in six days, 247 brace of grouse and upwards of 24 hares. On the Strathmashie moors, on the 12th, Mr. Fen wick killed 24 brace; Mr. W. S. Deacon, 29 brace; Mr. J. R. Edwards, 32 brace. On thel4th,Mr.R.Barnett,l9 brace; Mr. Fen wick, 29 brace; Mr. Deacon, 30 brace; Mr. J. R. Edwards, 22 brace; the bulk being old birds, and broods excessively small. At Nuide, in 6 days'shooting, F.L. Bodeham, Esq., and party, bagged 207 brace of grouse. From Balbair we learn that the grouse has turned out more plentiful than was at first ant;cipated. Sir Philip Egerton and Mr. Degh, in four days, bagged 118 brace. At Gleedi bidale, on the 17th, Mr. Lamont bagged 33 brace of grouse, with a good proportion of young birds. On the 12th, Mr. Ross shot 24 brace of grouse in a few hours. At Tulloch Castle, on the 26th, Major Hirst,' and F. H. Birse, Esq., in three hours, bagged 74 brace grouse, 64 brace black game, and 2 hares. On the following day the same gentlemen were out for about five hours, and bagged 20 brace grouse, 1 brace black game, and 3 hares ; and -a considerable addition to the bag could 1 easily have been made. On the 16th, at Foyers, F. G. Urquhart and brother killed 11 brace grouse, 1 wood cock 2 Aniperi, 2 bares, it rabbits, A nd 1 roo-deer ; on In deer-stalking there has been much done this sea son. At 13rahan Castle, the Duke of Hamilton, the Right Hon. Lord Lovat, and Mr. Keith Stewart Mac kenzie, have shot several bucks. Lord Dipplin, at Fan. dich, killed 2 stags ; Mr. Vaughan, 2 stags and 1 hind ; Mr. Waloh, in Fannich, had 2 stags. At Straiahvaich, Mr. Pryar, had 1 Et;g ; at Garve, Captain Mackenzie had 1 stag, And Captain Barring, a hind. Lord H. B mtiack, on the 18r,h, brought dawn 2 splendid stags. At Invermoriston, Sir H.

In the forest of Gildermory, on Thursday and Friday last, Lord Selkirk shot luir stags, one of them with horns of ten tines. At Gleo-Dibidale, &c., Mr. Ross and party have shot 18 red deer this season. They are in very fine condition, and ,some have been shot with perfectly clean hea'l4. Oa the Strathconon moor, the deer are very numerous and in fine condition. John La T ,uche, &A., who has been very succes4ul, has alr..ady klled 13 stags, 11 of them being very fine, heavy deer, and two or three with royal beads. Only one, however, had a clear head, and was a very fine animal, weighing 17 stone 8 lbs. ; another killed the following day, weighed 16 stone 11 lbs. On the 19th the parties from Castle Leed, Garve, and Lochbae, met on the summits of \Veavis for hare shoot ing, and killed upwards of 300 head. the 20th, 21 brace gton , in, I ptarmigan, 42 blue bares, 8 black gams, 5 snipes, and 1 duck and on the 23d, 24 brace of grouse, and 6 hares.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—Sept. I. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Bebre Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN BE C. VENABLES, JUN. The bankrupt carried on business as an extensive pa per manufacturer at Clilden, Taplow, Soho, and Prince's paper works, Buckinghamshire. The accounts prepared by Messrs. Harding and Randall, extend from April, 1854, to June last, and show, to unsecured creditor ~ 21,0501. ; to creditors holding security, 6831.; amon4 the creditors to be paid are the Crown to the amount of 3,1501., and C. Venables, sen., 2001. Th 3 bankrupt commenced business with a capital of 3,3411. ; his p•o• fits during a period of two years and three months were 12,2351. ; liabilities on bills receivable, discounted, and considered good, 8,229/. By good debts, 6741. ; bad, 2601. ; cash paid into court, 2001. Stock in hand, 1,4981. plant, machinery, utensils, &c., 13,7841. ; value of household furniture and effects, 918/. ; property in hands of creditors, 2871. ; losses, 3331. ; personal and private expenses 2,0931. ; trade expenses, 2,093/. ; trade expenses, 14,6531. ; amount expended on repair ing machinery and buildings, 6,9931. The bankrupt is indebted to the Crown to the amount of 2 4 630/. for duties upon paper, which debt would have arisen in about nine weeks ; the amount of duties is about 141. 10. s. per ton, duty incuded. The bank rupt believed he could pay 20s. in the pound up to the time of his stoppage. He had been in business 14 or 15 years. The bankrupt owes to his father about 3,0001. The plant of one of the mills belongs to his father, the bankrupt holding it under a lease. The machinery, valued at 13,0001. in the balance sheet, cost the bank rupt 26,0001 The bankrupt commenced business on his own account as a paper manufacturer in 1842, at which time he had a capital of 2,0001. which had been given him by his father. The present balance-sheet com mences in April, 1854, with a surplus of 3,3001., which arises from an account made out since the bankruptcy, and shows that in April, 1854, the debts and liabilities were 18,5001., and assets, 21,8001. The trading in two years and three months amounts to the sum of 114,0001., and the gro, s profit at about 101 per cent. The net loss on the trading accounts is 9,200/., and the official as signee calls attention to the fact that of the total expense 21,4001 , 4001. have been incurred by interest and dis count upon bills and by allowance off goods sold, adding " there can be little doubt that this expense was incurred through the bankrupt having no available capital with which to carry on his business." The books were well kept. The bankrupt appeared to have had "large cross accommodation transactions with Messrs. G. H. and H. E. Venables, amounting in the total to from 1,0001. to 12,0001. ;" leaving the latter creditors on the estate to the amount of 1,0001, Mr. Bagley, for the bankrupt, now asked that he might pass the last examination. Mr. M Lucas and Mr. Linklater objected, on the part of several creditors. The bankrupt, on being examined by Mr. Luca•, said that he had taken all the paper-mills of his father, for the lease of which he paid SOO/. a year, and soon after he entered into partnership with his brother, G. Venables. The value of the plant of the mills was 7,8001. There has been no new machinery added to the mills with the exception of a steam engine worth 1801. The loss dur ing the last few years was 14,0001., a great portion of which was caused by severe floods, which stopped the business of the mills for nearly a fortnight. The amount paid to the millwrights was 3,5001. fur repairs. He tuok stock in April, 1854. Mr. Linklater now applied for an adjournment. Mr. Plews maid there was some error, which the bank rupt bad made in his balance-sheet with reference to the amount he paid to his father for the lease of the mile. Sometimes the bankrupt had paid 8001. a year, and sometimes 2001., whereby the father had become a credi tor for a much larger amount than the bankrupt had specified in his balance-sheet. He should like an ad journment to inquire into this item. Mr. Linklater—The bankrupt would have come up for his certificate with a balance sheet that would repre sent his affairs in a different state to what they really were. Mr. Lucas said that losses to the amount of 12,0001. a year ought to be inquired into. His Honour—l also see a loss of 4,0001. on discount. Mr. Plews asked for an adjournment for three weeks. Mr. Bagley thought it too long. Mr. Linklater—l think a fortnight will be sufficient. His Honour—l shall adjourn the case for a fortnight, with an allowance in the meantime to the bankrupt of 51. per week. • AWFUL TRAGEDY AT DUDLEY. DUDLEY, MONDAY. On Saturday night a shocking affair took place in this town. It seems that for some time past a young man named John Dance, son of the landlord of the Railway Tavern, Portersfield, had been paying the attentions of a lover to a first cousin of his own, daughter of Mr. T. Barr, landlord of the Seven Stars Inn, Hall-street. She is said to have been an amiable and much respected young woman, while he was of unsteady and irregular habits. It was probably owing to this that her parents discouraged his visits to their house, and that latterly Miss Barr had also done so. On several occasions lie had been heard to threaten to take her life if she would not consent to have him, but these threats were disregarded. O❑ Saturday night, about ten o'clock, he went to the house. Being somewhat tipsy, both Miss Barr and her parents ordered him to leave, and he did so, but not without muttering sotaething to the young lady to the effect that "she would not order him out the next time he came." About 12 o'clock, the front door of the Seven Stars being closed, Miss Barr and her mother were en gaged i❑ their usual avocati , ns about the house, when Dance entered by the back door, and walked up to the young lady, who was then going along. the passage lead ing., from a back room to the bar. Pulling a pistol fr am his pocket be fired it off. The charge took effect in her neck and lower jaw, and she at once fell to the ground. In 'another moment a second shot was heard, and the unfortunate young man lay dead upon the floor. He had placed the pistol close to his left ear, the shot penetrated the brain, and death was in stantaneous. A pair of small pocket pint ils were after wards picked up. Mr. Fisher, a surgeon, was at once sent for, and in a very short time attended and dressed the wounds inflicted upon Miss Barr. Though alive this morning, there is scarcely a hope of her recovery. She is wholly incapable of articulation, but is sensible, and is able to converse with her father by means of a pencil and slate. It !a said that when under the influ ence either of passion or drink, Dance was subject to mental aberration. A v e ry similar tragedy occurred in Dudley 12 months ago ; but though the murderer also attempted suicide, he was afttrwards hanged at Worcester. ALLEGED MURDER IN NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.— On Friday, a female, named Ann Reinieg, died at a house in Back-row, Newcastle, under suspicious circumstances. It appears that for some time past she had been subject ed to most inhuman and cruel treatment from her para mour, whose name is William Fleming. On Friday afternoon a woman entered the house where the parties lived, and found Ann Flemirg lying on her chest with her arms under her, dead. There were many marks of violence upon her neck, and other evidences that death had not been the result of natural causes. The deceased, previous to her death, had, it appeared, made state• inents to the effect that the whole of the injuries from which for several days she endured so much suffering were inffcted by Wm. Fleming ; and what makes the suspicion stronger against Fleming is the fa c t o f hi s hav ing absconded. He is, however, well known to the Ipolice, having been frequently before the mag i strates for felony and other offences. He is a native of Ireland. Deceased was a native of Worcestershire, where it is said her parents reside. TERMINATION OY TUE COLLIERS' STRIKE AT BARNSLEY. —This struggle, which has extended over a period of ten weeks, was brought to alsudden termination on Saturday last in consequenceof a numberof tie men having signed articles to work for the proprietors. The result was that several more were expected to follow, when the com mittee at once resolved to close the strike. They met at the Baltic Inn on Saturday morning; Mr. Siddons in the chair. The roll having been called, it was agreed that those men who had been applying for work at the aiks Collisry. should not he admitted. On the motion of C egg, it was resolved ;—" That after the funds at present in hand bad been divided on Monday next, the struggle in which they had been engaged should termi nate ; and that those men who thought fit to accept work should not in any way be interfered with by those who declined to work under the present manager." The men present declared their intention of seeking work elsewhere, rather than run the risk of again working under the present management. The strike has been a serious lots to the proprietors, amounting to many thou sand pounds, exclusive of the probable loss of many good customers, who have been compelled to get their supplies t from other quarters.—Mandoter auArdiar...
