COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) APPLICATION *UNDER THE NEW ACT. An application was made under the 93d section of the new act, and 4th rule, for an extension of the time for filing a statement of affairs, which requires a bankrupt petitioning against himself to file such statement within three days after presenting such petition. His Honour asked the grounds for the application ? The bankrupt's solicitor said that the bankrupt was a member of Lloyd's, and the creditors were so numerous that it had been impossible to complete the statement within the time directed by the act, but the court had power to extend time. His Honour granted protection for three days further. IN RE TUBE. This bankrupt is described a;awine merchant, St. Dun stan's-hill. This was a meeting under the old Act for choice of assignees. This preliminary statement by Mr. Butler, King-street, Cheapside, shows debtor to creditors about £2,600; assets, about £5OO. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.) BOW-STREET. William Thomas was placed at the bar ►,on remand, charged with obtaining money from Indian officers by false pretences. It will be recollected the prisoner called a few days ago upon a gentleman. named Leggett, at the Exeter-hall Hotel, and asked for some pecuniary aid towards esta blishing a private school in India, calculated to be of great service to persons resident in India. Being upon the Indian Committee for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, Mr. Leggett informed him he could not assist " him in carrying out his object, but from a conversation he had with him he was induced to believe him an impostor, and he accordingly gave him into custody, as his (Mr. Leggett's) broth er, an Indian officer, had been duped by a person making precisely the same representations to him, as the prisoner h ad done. Mr. Corrie, in order to discover whether the prisoner had been practising v cpon other gentlemen, remanded the pri soner until to-da y when a number of gentlemen were in attendance. Col. Talbot Si aakespere said—l remember seeing the pri soner at my residence some time ago. He knocked nfr the door and immediately my servant opened it he walked in and requested toisee me. When I went to him he spoke in Hindostanee, an told me he had been directed to call upon me by some bro tlier officers. He spoke very fluently on , Indian civilize ttion and education, and mentioned the station at " Lucknow where I had been for two years. lie also mentioned the schools founded in India by Sir Henry Lawrence, and said he proposed to foruld private establishments on the same principle. He th;a: a introduced a long list of names, amongst which I recognil ;ed those of several officers with whom I was acquainted. I was completely taken in. I gave him three guineas, an d. he accordingly entered my name on his list of subscribers: , Mr. Corrie—l !hardly think that will make out a case of false pretence. Col. Shaksper; —He most certainly swindled me out of three guineas in t the same manner that he had done other effic,ers. Mr. Corrie—llA represented the money was to get an, outfit. . , Col. Shakesper e —So far as . l am concerned, he swindled me. , Mr. Braddon said—l saw the prisoner at my residence, at Cambridge-ter race, in March last. The servant came up to me and told me that a gentleman wished to see me. I went down stairs, when the pri soner accosted n Hindostanee. I invited him into my dressing-room 4, and after he had been there he very accu rately described ia y father, who is at present in India. I cannot tell, withc it it he has been in India, how he obtained his information. Ho told me he wished to found schools in India, arid I act ordingly gave him a sovereign, which he took, and then asl.c , ed me to make it a guinea for form sake, which I did. Dr. Ogilvie, of Blackheath-park, said I saw the prisoner at my residence a `few weeks ago, when he represented him self as a friend of my commanding.officer. I invited him in, and he then b , ;an to sympathise with me regarding the state of my s health. I don't know how he pos sessed himself that information, but after he had been in conversation for some time I asked him the object of his visit. t, when he said he was about to pro.; ceed to India, and :that he wished to raise subscriptions be fore he left Engh wid to establish schools on the hills, as it was a very serious thing for parents in India to send their children to Englan a I for education. I told him the object was good, but I could :7, of assist him. He then left the house. Mr. St. John B i own said the prisoner called upon me at Brompton.-square, and told me exactly the same tale as he had related to this other gentlemen. He also said he was going to found sch: ools at Tasmania. I gave him a guinea and he left the:douse. A lady friend of mine told me just as he left the 13 ouse that some time ago he had obtained money on the sa cee representations. I felt I had been swindled, but the fellow had gone off, and there was no help for it. Inspector With a m said he had received letters from Aldershott, Edinbi a rgh, and Brighton, all stating that the writers had been v !;sited by a person of, the description of the prisoner asking ; for subscriptions for schools in India. Mr. Corrie—As tfar as the present case goes, I don't see that a case of false s pretence is made out. No doubt, had he got a good roun sum of money, he would have left the country. , It shows, however, how easily gentlemen in London part with their money when a plausible person obtains an intervie with them. Horsford, of the Nendicity Society, said the prisoner had been discharged t I , ree times on evidence similar to that which had been b.c ard to-day. However, he thought he had a case agai st him for forgery, as he had sent up a petition to a . gentleman residing in Marylebone, on which was a sig . ', nature of a gentleman which could be proved to be a forg , ery. Mr. Corrie—Tha t is certainly a clear case if it can be found out, and you. had better take the prisoner to Maryle bone Police-court. _ . 40,J The prisoner was then handed over to the custody of the Mendicity Society officers. MAP,IBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT A. N AvurroN Roc:Ms.—Thomas John Jackson, an elderly man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a tim e-piece, of the value of £2, from Mr. Richards's auction tyooms, 43, Rathbone-place. From the evidemce of Sergeant Shanley, G division, it appeared that on the previous evening he saw the prisoner coming out of the I auction rooms, and knowing that the sale had only just commenced, he stopped him and asked what he had got under the covering. He (Shanley) then lifted up the covering and saw that it was a timepiece, and on taking him back he found that he had taken it from the auction room. On searching the prisoner he found on him 58 duplicates relating to time-pieces, coats, umbrellas, &c. Prisoner said he bought the articles at sales, and that the time-piece was his bona fide property. Mr. Richards, auctioneer, of 43, Rathbone-place, said the time-piece wary taken from his office, and had never been sold to any one. Prisoner said he had no questions to ask. Sergeant Shanley said he should like a remand, as other time-pieces had been missed from the same place. The prisoner was them remanded. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORXS. The usual weekly meeting of the board was held yester day at the office in Spring-gardens ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, which gave the following cash balances in the hands of the treasurer : Current accounts, £109,253 3s. ld. ; deposit accounts, --C95,500 ; total, £204,253 3s. ld. ; Government securities, New Three per Cent. Annuities, £27,412 7s. 7d. ; cheques ordered but not presented, £13,832 3s. 7d. THE NEW STREET FROM LONDON-BRIDGE TO BLACK- FRIARS ROAD. A numerous deputation attended from the St. Saviour's District Board of Works, to present a memorial on the sub ject of the surface paving of the new street in Southwark. Mr. Newman, who was the spokesman of the deputation, urged that the new street should be paved with granite, in stead of being macadamised; for although the cost in the first instance would be somewhat greater, yet it would be the most durable and the cheapest in the end, especially as for the first seven years the cost of repairing the street would fall almost exclusively upon the parish. They strongly impressed upon the board the necessity of com pleting the street without further delay, especially as a loss had been sustained by the parish in two years of no less a sum than £3,000 in rates, in consequence of houses having been pulled down, and little or no progress made towards the erection of others. Mr. HARRIS moved that the memorial bo referred to the Main Drainage Committee, which was put and agreed to. THE NEIV GAS ACT. Mr. FREEMAN moved, pursuant to notice, " That a com mittee of the whole board on the Sale of Gas Acts be em powered to make all the arrangements which may be ne cessary for carrying the several provisions of those acts into effect, reporting their proceedings from time to time to this board." Mr. SAVAGE seconded the motion, which was put and carried unanimously. NEW NUMBERING OF STREETS. A report was presented from the Building Act and Gene ral Purposes Committee recommending that the several houses and premises in the following streets should be re numbered, the odd numbers on one side and the even num bers on the other :—Fann-street, Aldersgate-street ; Cla rendon-rood, Notting- hill ; Shrublanol-grove, Dalston ; Queen's-road, Dalston ; Caledonian.-road, Pentonville ; Hetningford -road, Islington ; Devonshire-street, Islington; High-street, Wandsworth; and Adelaide-road, Hampstead road. Some routine business having been disposed of, the board adjourned, IRELAND, DUBLIN, FRIDAY. Mr. William Sharman Crawford died yesterday at his residence, Crawfordsburn, near Bangor, county Down. He was long known to the British public as member of Parliament for Dundalk and Rochdale, and he has been popularly known in Ireland as "the father of the tenant-right question." He was an in dulgent landlord, content with moderate rents, en couraging improvements, and rejoicing in the pro sperity of his tenantry, not one of whom he ever ejected. He allowed them to sell their " tenant-right" freely, and on his estate it reached the highest figure, equalling the fee-simple of the land. The great ob ject of his political life was to give that customary right in Ulster the effect of law, so that it would not be disturbed by the landlord, and also to extend it to the other parts of Ireland. The tenant-farmers throughout the country regarded him as their cham pion, and he spent most of his time for years in ex pounding their grievances in long letters and heavy speeches. He attended the meetings of the " Irish Tenant League," not only in Ulster, but in some of the southern counties, where he was regarded with respect and gratitude by the Roman Catholic priests and people. For many years he had charge of the tenant-right question in Parliament, for the settle ment of which he brought in several bills; and the platform and newspaper cry of the tenant-right party in Ireland then was,—" Sharman Crawford's Bill—the whole bill, and nothing but the bill." His measure, however, never found favour with the Legislature, and all attempts to get tenant-right embodied in an Act of Parliament proved abortive. Mr. Crawford opposed the Repeal agitation when first started by Mr. O'Connell, and he once ap peared in Conciliation-ball to " beard the lion in his den." The great agitator did not appear to ad vantage on that occasion. He was rude and abusive to his distinguished opponent, and attempted to overwhelm him wim with ridicule, remarking upon dress, and reciting a song with the burden— " Sharman my jewel, Sharman my man." But Mr. Crawford was equally unmoved by the invectives of the assailant and the hisses of the excited mob. Though opposed to the repeal of the Union, he had a plan of his own for a " Federal Parliament " in Dublin, by which purely Irish questions might be entertained and determined. But at that time the multitude would hear no dissentient voice in the Liberal ranks. O' Connell ruled with despotic sway, and Mr. Crawford, driven from the representation of Dundalk, could enter Parliament only as member for an English borough. Since the tenant-right agitation died out he has taken no part in public affairs. He was a magistrate and a Deputy-Lieu tenant of the county Down, wnere he was regarded by the people with a feeling bordering on venera tion. The journals which represent the. Roman Catholic interest pay glowing tributes to the memory of the deceased. The Freeman ranks him among iliustricus Irishmen, and says : "As a landlord, he illustrated in practice the principles'he professed. In the House of bommons, while representing. Dundalk and Rochdale, he was universally respected for his integrity, fairness, and sound sense. Sharman Crawford was almost the last of the race of great men'; and if honour, honesty, and a loyal devotion to the rights of the Irish people be a claim to their gratitude, few deserved it better than William Sharman Craw ford." _ The Norntng News thus notices the mournful event:— " Sharman Crawford is dead ! True, honest, benevolent old man—in him the Irish tenant has lost a great, a faithful, and an earnest friend. Many a time have our columns been draped with mourning hues, but never for an occasion more sor rowful than this. Over all our laud, in every home where the news shall speed, few there will be who will not realise the loss of such a man to the cause which won his earliest advocacy, and which to his latest moment he never deserted. No man devoted bis time more zealously, no man devoted his labours more generously, to the poor persecuted and unfor tunate tenants of Ireland. Whatever differences may have arisen between those with whom he worked in the endeavour to ameliorate their con dition, none can refuse to concede to him a a charac ter for integrity and devotion perfectly unimpeach able . No name in the ranks of public men in Ireland has been so long before the country, and on none has there rested less stain of selfishness. A great portion of this century has found him occupy ing a prominent position in the regard of our people, and that regard he has continued to maintain to the close of a long career of usefulness. With the great labour to which he gave his best years unfulfilled, with a long life of effort expended without the success of its dearest aim, we cannot but regard the death of William " Sharman Crawford as a great public calamity."

The New Zealand Examiner says of the Otago gold fields : Brighter prospects would appear to be in store for New Zealand in general and Otago in particular. We refer to the discovery of gold fields in that province. The accounts just received have been confirmed by subsequent researches. Other gullies have been prospected, and are believed to be richer than that in which the operations have been hitherto principally carried on. The total quan tity received in Dunedin up to the 3d of August appears to be about 5,000 ounces, and double that quantity was believed to be in the hands of the diggers, who declined to part with their hard earned gold at the rate offered, 70s. per ounce, which they conceive to be far below its real value. The result of the assay at Sydney, which the next steamer was expected to bring, was anxiously looked for. The most sanguine expectations were entertained as to the prospects of the province, it being expected that very shortly the receipt of gold would equal the whole quantity received from the Nelson gold fields during the years 1359 and 1860, which amounted to some 12,000 ounces. The exciting intelligence of the gold discovery, as was to have been anticipated, had been the means of bringing many adventurers from the neighbouring provinces, and great numbers were expected to arrive. Of course some have returned disappointed. Altogether. from 1,600 to 1,800 per sons had visited the diggings. , The weather having been very eold and wet, and the state of the roads bad, added to the probable high• price of provisions for some time, has had the effect, it was believed, of preventing many from visiting the golden spot until the weather became more congenial. Advices from Melbourne state that three steamers were loading for Otago, and would take a large number of passengers. The Nelson correspondent of the same paper writes : Every vessel arriving from the South brings us news of large quantities of the precious metal being found at the new field in Otago, and the result is already visible. The " gold fever," in a malignant form, has broken out, and labour, which has been too plentiful for some little time past, bids fair now to be as scarce. Every vessel that is available, from the cutter of 10 tons up to full-rigged ships of 500, is laid on for Otago, and every one a full com plement of passengers. The wages of seamen on the coast have risen to £6 and £lO per month, and the hands from other vessels are deserting fast. Shovels, picks, galvanized iron buckets, tents, and blankets are at a premium ; at every store may be seen intending diggers providing themselves with re quisites, and carrying them on board vessels at the Wharoa. Two days ago there was an exodus on a large scale. The Storm Bird, a steamer of 100 tons, was to start, and about 90 hadtaken their passage in her. At the time of starting she looked like an excursion boat. Just at the last there was a visitor on board in the shape of a sheriff's officer, and a few of the, would-be diggers, who had neglected to "square up". before leaving, were brought ignominiously ashore. The steamer started and made about 20 miles beyond the Head, when she was met by a south-east gale, and 'yesterday morning we found her snugly anchored in harbour again, the impatient gold-seekers being put ashore to wait for a change of wind. Should the reports from the diggings'continue favourable there is , no doilbt that as the weather improves a much larger numb& of men will leave, as there is just at present very little offering here. Next I come to the chro mate of iron, in which several parties are now specu lating. It exists in enormous quantities on the hills around our city, and, thanks to the perseverance of the Dun Mountain Copper Mining Company, which nothing daunted by their want of success in gathering riches from copper lodes, like unto those at Lake Superior, yet persevered in constructing the railways. This company will yet realise extrava gantly large dividends from these simple circum stances—that slate exists in large quantity upon their land, and will be eagerly purchased, not'only here, but in all surrounding settlements, and thus do away with with a great nuisance, _wooden shingles for roofing of houses. Again, their land is heavily timbered; now firewood !Aches here about 255. per cartload (and a small cartload it is), and as this company can so readily convey' it Vora the forest intolown by their railway, they could easily sell it at say 175., and make about 7s. per load clear profit;, then again,, they can give us that much needed article, stone, while they have also a species of marble on their land ; there are also posts and rails for fencing, and lastly, after having conveyed their chrome into town, their slate, wood; &c., like wise,' they will most certainly become large carriers of produce from the town to the port for shipment. The coal discovered at the River Grey, on the west coast of this province, having been sent to the School of Mines in England for analysis, we have received a report of Mr. Percy's tests, which showed that the coal, out of 100 parts, contains 79 of carbon, 5 of hydrogen, 7 of oxygen, and 9 of nitrogen, sulphur, ash, and hygroscopic .water,:--" In com position, this coal is nearly identical with coal occurring in some of the coal measures of this coun try. • The - 00,1 from New Zealand 'is a caking coal; that is, when powdered and heated in a close vessel, it aff9rds a coherent coke, the original bulk of the coal being considerably increased during the opera tion. The gas which was disengaged appeared to possess a highly illuminating power, as far as could he ascertained from the small quantity of coal experi mented upon, the residual coke amounting to 64.32 per cent. The quantity of coke, however, obtained on so small a scale must not be taken as an exact indication of the yield by the ordinary process."

A DEERTIUNT.—SAD ACCIDENT.—KILLARNEY, Monday.—This morning, while a party of men living at Minish, about four miles from the town, were engaged in sa ving hay, a deer was spotted to run convenient to them towards Coneen. Ho did not, however, go without a chase. The deer made towards the river Flesk that was close by, which he succeeded in almost clearing. While in the act of doing so one of the men, named Denis Keely, closed him to the river's edge, and attempted to stick him with the pike with which ho had been saving the hay. While doing so, he unfortunately fell into the river, which was fearfully swollen after the late rains, and has not been since seen. Exertions were made to recover the body, but up to this evening no trace of it •can be found. __ r IBIS DAY'S SIIIPTING.

A strange occurrence took place on Monday last in the Church of Notre Dame. An officer, wearing a foreign military uniform, was praying, apparently with great devo tion, in the nave of the church. He remained there until six o'clock, when the beadle, struck with the strange ex pression of his countenance, told him that it was time to close the church, and requested him to leave. The officer looked at him stedfastly for some time, and then exclaimed, "Kill me, for I have entertained the idea of assassinating Loy King." The beadle thought it expedient to call in some police officers, who interrogated the foreigner, and ascertained that he is a captain in the Prussian army. When the police were preparing to remove him he was attacked with a fit, and it became necessary to transport him to the Hotel Dieu, where he still remains. From fur the' inquiries it appears that he has become insane. Ho had just returned from the Camp of Chalons, and from his pass port it appears that he was specially commissioned to study the manoeuvres recently introduced into the French army. NEW REGULATIONS FOR VOLUNTEER OFFICERS. —Earl Fitzwilliam, the Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding, has issued some excellent regulations, an adherence to which will be an effectual security that the volunteers of the West Riding will be commanded by gentlemen worthy to hold the Queen's commission as (facers in so important and honourable a service.

The Swallow, 9, screw steam sloop, is fitting in the steam basin at Sheerness for surveying service off the coast of Japan. The Dutch transport Constance, recently in jured in a collision with another vessel off the Longships, has been taken into No. 3 dock at Sheer ness, where she is making good her defects. Owing, however, to the injuries she has sustained some time will elapse before she is completed. The Cambria has commenced shipping at Wool wich a battery of 24-pounder guns and equipment for the Artillery Volunteers at Anglesea. The War Department steamer Lord Panmure, Mr. T. Moore, master commanding, left Wool wich yesterday for Purfleet, to fill in her ma gazines with powder and ammunition ; she will sail thence on Tuesday for Devonport. Her cargo consists of about GOO tons of military stores, con sisting of cases of small arms from the Tower, 6- pounder brass guns, shell, shot, &c.

THE ARM} His Royal Highness the General Commanding-' in-Chief will hold a levee at the Horse Guards' at one o'clock on Thursday next, the 24th inst. Recruiting for the corps of Royal Marine Light Infantry is proceeding more briskly than is the case with recruiting for any other branch of the service, and each of the divisions of Royal Marines is now nearly up to its full strength. Yesterday' a party of fine young men arrived at headquarters, Chat ham, having been forwarded from the Hull dis trict. The principal portion have been sent up from the recruiting districts in Yorkshire and the North, where in consequence of the stagnation occurring in the cotton and sub sidiary .trades there appears to be no difficulty experienced in obtaining recruits for the various branches of the service requiring men. The Royal Marine recruits on, being finally approved at head quarters are forwarded to Deal and attached to the depot battalion at that station.• Yesterday . a Board of the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital assembled at St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, under the presidency of Inspector-Gen., W.
