Henry Norman, a well-dressed young man, who is the son of an opulent tradesman residing in the neigh bourhood, was charged on suspicion of stealing a gold watch and appendages, value 521., the property of the Ch ev alier Wiercenskie, a Pole, residing at No. 3, Queen street, Haymarket. It appeared that the prisoner had for the last six weeks lodged in the same house with the prosecutor, and about three o'clock on the previous afternoon the property in question was missed from the Chevalier's drawing-room, it having been seen safe but a very short time pre viously, during which period the prisoner was noticed to pass up and down stairs by the prosecutor's apartments, and shortly afterwards to leave the Louse ; and, contrary to his usual custom, he did not return home until two yesterday morning. On being given into custody of Inspector Rogers, of the E division, at six o'clock in the morning. on suspicion of having committed the robbery, he stated that he had only a few shillings about him. But, on being searched, four sovereigns were found. wrapped up in his gloves, in his coat-pocket. He also gave an account of the manner in which he passed his time, which turned out to be false. The prisoner strongly protested his innocence, and said that he had been induced to give the statement he had by his desire to kel) his own affairs and resources private.—He was remanded until Monday next.

BRIGHTON RAILWAY, - ,11 , - - The half-yearly meeting of the Directors and Pro. prietors in this Company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Directors, and taking into consideration the pro priety of declaring a dividend. JOHN HARMAN, Esq., the Chairman of the Directors, took the Chair, and said, that the Directors were anxious to come before the Proprietors, owing to the imputation cast upon them in the public prints.—(Hear, hear.) The Directors sought strict investigation ; and he should be most happy to answer any question the Shareholders might think proper to put to him.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that they were now arrived at a momentous crisis of the history of the Company, and that the time was come that a full and fair understanding should be come to between the Shareholders and the Directors. The Directors had been visited with a degree ol opprobrium from anonymous sources, totally undeserved. (Hear, hear.) If those charges were proved to be true, then they (the Directors) were ready to hear the responsibility. He had received seve • ral letters from anonymous persons, imputing to the Di rectors fraud, in raising 70,0007. more than they wanted fel- the purpose of putting it in their own pockets. He would allude to that part of the Report which bore refe rence to the great increase s of expenditure over the es timates. He was free to confess that the increase was large, but lie would, at the same time, say, that no un dertaking in the kingdom, of the kind, had succeeded in accomplishing their works within the estimates. The Honourable Gentleman then read a statement of the receipts and expenditure of the Company, which nre detailed in the Report below. In the im provements and additional expenses entered into by the Directors, they had contracted for a new branch and terminus, in Brighton, as they considered the town of Brighton had a claim upon them, as the Act of Parliament gave them reason to believe that the Rail way would be continued further into the town. The Hon. Gentleman then read further accounts, from which it would appear that 11,3451. remained in the hands of the Company. But it was right to say that they had ordered extra waggons and trucks to the amount ol 5,0001., t a he t d e t i l l t g e l y ne b s ad ru i iii incurred an an four x p w e h ns e e els o of altered it having t' run upon six wheels. The next point to wh i c h he wouli i e r allude was that respecting the money received from the South Eastern Company. At their last meeting lie in formed them that this money would not be appropriated to the purposes of the Railway; lie was happy to confirm that statciuent.—(Cheers.) Some difference of opinion had arisen as to how this money should be appropriated. lie had recommended that the amount should be divided amongst the original subscribers, they having subscribed the original loan, but it was discovered that the mortgagees and tile holders'of the loan notes had a prior claim. But one thing was very clear, and that was, that the interest of the money could not be claimed by those mortgagees, and the holders of the loan notes, as the in terest upon their claims was regularly paid up. There fore this sum would be at the disposal of the Share holders. The lion. Gentleman then referred to the ex penditure in the purchase of land, and said that the amount purchased was three times as much as was originally calculated. He was asked at the last meeting how they were to pay the interest of the loan notes and debentures out of their earnings. Ile then demurred to answer the question, and the reason was obvious, their traffic had then fallen off to nothing. Since that time the traffic had gradually increased, and he had no doubt that the traffic would go on increasing in a like ratio. It was well known that the first year no railway could get up its traffic. Their expenses had not increased, but if anything had decreased, Ile had no hesitation in saying that by the next half yearly meeting, unless some unforseen accident happened, they would be enabled to offer a very handsome dividend indeed. With respect to the dividend to be declared, that day they would have to decide whether it should be 15s. per share or 10s. per share. If they decided upon 15s. per share, the interest upon the loan rates and bonds would be charged in the next half year, or if 10s. the accounts would run or. regularly. He should then call on the Secretary to read the Report. The following Report was then read, together with the Report of Mr Rastwick : GENTLEMEN, —The Directors now lay before you a full and explicit statement of their proceedings since the last half-yearly meeting, by which you will be put in possession of the present position, and. as far as they are able to give it, the future pros pects of the Company. They feel bound, in justice to themselves, to refer to several subjects contained in the Report of the Committee appointed in January last, to investigate the accounts of the Company. In the first place, the Committee allude to the imperfect mode of keeping the accounts, and the difficulty they found in classing the expenditure under appropriate heads. The course which 1112 Directors originally were desirous of pursuing in keeping the accounts, was to follow the system adopted by other great railway companies, and with this view they procured introductions for their late secretary to the ac countants of both the Birmingham and Great Western Rail ways, and considerable time was occupied by him in examining the mode in which their accounts were kept, after which he as sured the Directors that he had made himself thoroughly master of the subject with a view that the accounts of this Company should be conducted on similar principles, and although it ap pears that he adopted a different method, there can be no doubt that had he been present at the investigation, he would have removed many objections raised by that Committee, and have rendered their inquiry less laborious. It has always been the intention of the Directors to make out a complete and detailed account, classing the expenditure of every department under its appropriate head, from the com mencement of the undertaking; but during the progress of the works it was found utterly impossible to follow out this sys tem, although it will be adopted when the accounts of the seve rul contractors are closed. The same difficulty existed with regard to the accounts for land, as it was necessary, from time to time, to take additional quantities, and, in some instances, absolutely to purchase a portion of that which had only been taken for temporary purposes, while, in other instances; pay ments were made on account, in order to obtain possession of the land pending the investigation of the titles, and those ac counts will also shortly be closed. Another portion of the Report requiring notice, is the ex cess of expenditure over the original estimates. The Directors cannot be expected to take upon themselves the great responsibility of the various estimates, either for land or works, but they confidently refer to the Reports which they have from time to time submitted to the Proprietors, as being most full and explicit; they have never withheld information, but as the necessity 'for further capital presented itself, they made it known to the Proprietors without reservation ; and even up to the last half-yearly meeting, so far from any dissatisfac tion having been evinced, the Directors and Engineer have been encouraged by unanimous votes of thanks and confidence. The Directors are quite as much concerned at the additional expenditure which has been incurred as the Shareholders; they have never parted with the funds of the Company without the stricte.t scrutiny, nor have they acquiesced in any expenditure without being fully convinced by their Engineer that it was absolutely necessary. In order to account for the excess of expenditure, they refer to the explanations of their Engineer, which were embodied in the Report of the Investigation Committee. Another subject in the Report to which the Directors beg to refer, is that the amount of ,2,639,000/. was stated in the half-yearly Report in a manner which might, at first sight, lead to the conclusion .that the cost of the Railway would amount to that sum, instead of 2,568,0001. The facts are as follow : that besides a sum of 2,269,3591. already expended. and an amount of 294,8521. which it was estimated would still be required to complete the works, making together 2,568,2111. the sum of 71,0001., which was a liability of the Company for money borrowed, was inadvertently included in the pa ragraph of the Report, making the estimate 2,639,2111. The addition of this sum was an oversightin drawing upthe Report; but the Directors distinctly assure the Proprietors, that there was no error of the sort in the books of account, as has been generally inferred from the Report of the Committee of In vestigation, nor in fact does that Report state it o t herwise than as an error in the paragraph. Another subject connected with the Report of the Com mittee of Investigation, demands the notice of the Directors. At the special general meeting of the Proprietors upon re ceiving the Report, an observation fell from the Chairman of that Committee which has been the subject of much specula. tion, and has given rise,to many unpleasant remarks. When that gentleman expressed himself ready to answer any ques tions which might be put to him, he added, 4, taking care to GRAMMATICAL READING CLASS BOOK , or Easy Introduction to English Grammar ; in entertaining Conversations between a Lady and her Daughters ; in which the Parts of Speech are familiarly ex plained, and the Rules of Grammar introduced and Illustrated in a plrasing manner.

Gentleman read wer as follow :—With respect to the surplus land, amounting to about 60,0001., was it to be sold by public auction ? Has a portion of it been sold ? If so, in what way, and to whom ? Were two houses at the station at Croy don disposed of by private contract ? Have all the re ceipts been transmitted to the head office from along the line ? Have all the moneys paid to the Company been paid into the bank—if not, to whom were they paid ? Are all the receipts forthcoming ? If not, why not ? The Committee appointed to investigate the accounts res ported that proper precaution had not been taken. What precautionary measures were meant ? Have the legal expenses been 40,0001. ? What amount remains due to the solicitors in London and Brighton ? Did not the Chairman inform the Shareholders in 1839, that the ex penses would but very little exceed the estimate? Why did the engineer suffer persons to work day-work instead of piece -work, whereby one person who was before fa; solvent, made a fortune of 25,0001.? I allude to contract twelve and thirteen. Has the sum taken away by Mr. Wood been precisely ascertained ? How did he get that sum in his possession ? Did not Mr. Wood forward a latter to one of the Directors on the day of his departure, stating that if he was pursued he should make disclosures inju."ious to the Directors ? If there was such a letter, what became of it, and was it submitted to the Board ? Is the Chairman a Director or Chairman of any other speculative concern ? Does the present Secretary re ceive the whole of his salary, or does part of it go to one of the Directors ? These questions, he (Mr. Mayne) thought ought to be answered for the good of the say nothing that would tend to the injury of the undertat ing ; there the lips of the Committee were sealed.". The Dire. :tors aware that this observation applied only to cases of dispute I ac counts with contractors and others, did not think it necessary to offer any observations, more particularly as, in his conislud ing sentence, that gentleman stated, he was not aware that they had anything of the slightest importance to communicate, which was not already embodied in the Report. This assertion the Directors considered sufficient to satisfy every unprejudiced mind. Having felt it due to themselves thus to draw the at teretion of the Shareholders to the Report of the Investigation Conn snittee, the Directors beg to add, that they have, as far as time haspermitted, followed the suggestions therein contained. [Here follows an account of the receipts and expenditutre of the Company, up to the 30th of June last.] It will be seen by these accounts, that the traffic during - the last six months has produced 63,326/. 7s. 2d., which, with. the balance on last half year's account of 12,4791. 12s. Bd., made an amount of 75,8061. 9s. 10d. From this sum is to be de ducted 38,796/. IDs. 10d., the expenditure of the;•Company up to the 30th of June, leaving 37,0091. )4s. ; but which stern is chargeable with interest paid to the 15th of January last of 9,3641. 25., thus showing an amount of 27,6451. 12s. at the disposal of the Shareholders. It is right to state, that this sum may be further charged with interest from the 15th of Jinn Icy to the 30th of June ; but'on the other hand, a portion of the interest due upon the debt payable by the South East ern Railway Company is applicable to the profit and loss account of the same date. During the first three months of this year, ending on. the 2d of April, the average receipt per week was 1,8261. ss. 60., and during the last three months, ending on the 2d of Jolly, it was 2,989/. 16s. 4d. per week; anti the average weekly exr. ense of working and maintaining the line was 1,4941., and in the month of. July the average receipt per week was 3,9681. Os. 91. thus showing a great progressive increase. It must be borne in mind that the Company have been sap b jected to serious losses by the accident which occurred in :the autumn of last year on the Brighton line, and the continued interruption on the Croydon line. It will also be seen from these accounts, that goods are TIPW . carried upon the Railway, and it is gratifying to the Direevors to state, that there has been a gradual improvement in this branch of business since the commencement, and that there is every prospect of considerable increase. Arrangements have been made, and are still making, with various persons in the different towns along the line, and astia cent to the Railway, for the establishment of permanent tratfie in merchandise, which will be mutually beneficial to the trade rs, the public, and the Company. The receipts upon the Shoreham Branch and Kingston Wharf have also increased during the last half year ; a landing place at the wharf has been run out for the accommodation .of steam-boats, and a new and important communication has been opened with the Continent, which will add greatly to the increase of trade, without any additional expenditure. The conveyance of goods and merchandise has recently commenced at this wharf along the main line, and a considerable trade in resale has already been established with the interior of the country. liy use annexed Report of the engineer, it will appear that he has almost completed the contract and extra works, which, at the last general meeting, he stated remained to be executed ; and he assures the Directors that the estimate he th n geave for those works will not be exceeded. He is engaged in the settle ment of the contractors' accounts, which there is every reason to believe will be adjusted before the next general meeting. At the last general meeting 211 shares were forfeited, of which number 201 have since been re-allotted to the several Proprietors, upon their paying all the calls due, with the inte rest thereon. The arrangement referred to in the last Report with the holder of 45 shares, has not been carried into effect, in consequence of his bankruptcy, and these shares are at the dis posal of the Company. In all other respects the number of registered shares remains the same as at the last meeting. The Directors have raised by loan notes, under the seal of the Company, the sum of 300,0001. as authorised by the last general meeting, and it is their intention to apply, in the next session of Parliament, fur an Act to confirm this loan, it hav ing been impossible, under the Standing Orders, to do so in the present session. In this Act it is also proposed to reduce the number of Directors to twelve, and a copy of the Bill will, in due course, be submitted fur the approval of the Shareholders. The station at London-bridge is progressing rapidly, and in all probability will be completed in the course of the present year ; at least, so far as to enable the traffic of the three Com. panies now using it to be conducted more conveniently and economically. On the 19th of May last, the Directors received notice from the South Eastern Railway Company of their intention to pay, on the 19th of July, the purcha,e-muney for that portion of the Brighton Railway which they are authorised to take, and re quiring a statement of the accounts to be delivered to them, as provided by the Act of Parliament. These accounts (with the exception of a few items which cannot yet be accurately ascer tained) amounting to 327,534/. 15s. 2d., were accordingly made out as expeditiously as possible, and were furnished on the 16th of July to the South Eastern Company. In pursuance of the Act of Parliament, the above amount has been invested in the sum of 357,4101. 103. Bd., Three per Cent. Consolidated Bank Annuities, in the names of Joseph Baxendale, William Wilson, John Harman, and John Cattley, Esquires. Arrangements are being made by the Surveyor to the Com pany for the re-sale of the surplui lands, which will be com pleted without delay ; and the Directors are happy to state, that, as far as settlements have been made for lard taken for temporary purposes, they have been very satisfactory. In concluding this Report, the Directors, reviewing the dif ficulties with which they have had to contend, and which have probably been greater than those on any other railway in the kingdom, and the efforts they have made to carry out the wishes expressed again and again by the Proprietors, by press ing forward the works, and thereby opening the entire line at the earliest possible period—feel ccntident of the approbation of the Proprietors, who will have the benefit of a much earlier return for the investment, than could have been anticipated. There can be no doubt that if the works were to be recon structed, and more time allowed for their execution, consider able saving might be effected ; but this remark will apply to every undertaking of equal magnitude. The Directors believe, however, that there is no instance on record, where works of the same extent as-those on the Brighton Railway have been executed in so short a space of time, or noarer:the estimated cost. In their purchases of land, they have uniformly endeavoured to protect the interests of the Shareholders ; in every ease where the demands were exorbitant, and such as ought, not to be sub mitted to, the purchase was either left to a reference or to a jury. They court the fullest inquiry, well aware that they can justify every payment that they have made, but they doubt not that the reflections which hate been attempted to be cast upon their proceedings will be entirely removed on the perusal of this Report. The traffic on the line is steadily increasing ' • the stock of the Company is in good order ; the mo n ey arising from the purchase of the South Eastern Company will be at the dis posal of this Company, when the accounts are finally settled ; the railway is in excellent condition, and nothing can be more promising than the prospects of the undertaking. A resolution will be submitted to the meeting for the ap pointment of Auditors. ( Signed) JOHN HARMAN, Chairman. London, Ist August, 1842. 'The following is a copy of the Report of the Engineer : TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY. GENTLEMEN.—Since my last half-yearly Report, I have been gradually completing those contract and extra works that were of the most immediate importance, which have been of a very tedious nature, and such as I could not allow to to be gone on with in the first months of the year, as neither the weather nor the season were propitious for such undertakings, and this has in a great measure prevented the closing of the contracts on the middle district of the line. The works at the present time are in the most satisfactory state, although in the commencement of the year there were occasional slips in souse of the embankments, which required constant attention. The cuttings, generally . speaking, have stood well; there have been some few slips in them, but nothing of importance, and as the slopes have been well drained, it will secure them against the penetration of wet. The first thirteen miles of the line are in the most perfect and permanent condition. There is nothing for me to direct your attention to till the Earl's Wood embankment, where some settlements took place in the early part of the year; but by great perseverance and con stant attention the hie was kept in a working condition. I have now given orders for the trimming and footing the slopes, as the weather is very favourable for that operation, so as to reduce them to a uniform inclination, which will secure the embankments from all future danger. These remarks apply equally to the embankment adjoining the Salford viaduct. From thence to the deep cutting at Kemp's Farm, a distance of eleven miles, the road is in the most perfect order. The slip that took place on the embankment near Kemp's Farm has had my constant attention, and from having it effec tually drained the foundation has become so consolidated, that after three months' observation, I have not perceived any set tlement in it. The remainder of the line to Brighton is in the best possible order. During the last half-year there have been some slips in this part of the line that have been effectually been made up, and I have every reason to believe that nothing but the ordinary expense of maintenance will; be required on this portion of the line. The whole of the tunnels and tunnel-shafts are in the very best order. At the stations on the line the works necessary for traffic . are now nearly completed. The passenger-sheds at Hayward's Heath have been taken down and converted into warehouses for goods, and carriage sheds for the different stations. From what I have stated, you will perceive that there remains very little to complete every part of the works on the line, and with the exception of the Earl's-wood embankment, the Salford viaduct embankment, and the embankment at Kemp's-farm, the whole of the rail Way in the most complete order, and per manent state of repair ; and as every convenience will have beets provided for when the works now in course of completion for the stations are finished, no further outlay will be required. The works at the Joint Station at Landon-bridge are making rapid rrogress, and will be in a condition to receive part of the traffic in a few months, and I hope the whole nil' be finished before the end of the year. In concluding my Report, I need hardly draw your attention to the fact that when the few works that I have enumerated above' have been finished, the London and Brighton Rail way will be found to be in a more complete and efficient condi tion than any railway in the kingdom. I now advise you to advertise the maintaining of the Railway for a term of years, and it gives me great pleasure to inform you, that front offers that have been made to me, I have no doubt that it will be let at a price, per mile, far below that for any other railway in the kingdom. I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, London, July 25, 1842. JOHN U. RASTRICK. A general abstract of the receipts and payments to the 30th of June, 1842, was then read, from which it ap peared that there Wai a balance in the hands of the Company of 37,009/. 14s. The CHAIRMAN' then proposed that the Report just read be received, adopted, and printed for circulation amongst the Shareholders. Mr. IAR7ONS objected to the Report, but he would not put the question to a division. Mr. MAYNE said he had put a number of questions on paper for the purpose of asking the Chairman, and, with the permission of the meeting, he would read them. Company. The CHAIRMAN regretted that he had not had notice of the questions a day or two previous, but he would do the best in his power to answer them. He was extremely glad that they had been put. Mr. MAYNE said that he should have sent the clues t:;ims to the Directors, but that they had been for some ti cue before in print. 'girt L. HAYWARTH thought the questions ought not to be answered. The CHAIRMAN said he would take upon himself the responsibility of answering the questions. In answer to he question respecting the surplus land, it would be sold by public auction, having first been offered to the sur rounding proprietors, as directed by the Act. The two houses at Croydon were exchanged to his (the Chair man's) father for some property, but he appealed to any one if his father had not been a loser by the exchange, and would gladly give up the houses. When the sub ject was before the Board, he (the Chairman) took -no part in it, but retired.—(Cheers.) He never in terfered in eh) , shape or way at all.—(Cheers.) All the receipts were transmitted to the head office from along • the line. All the money received for the Company was paid into the bank, with the exception of 5001., which the late secretary received from his daughter for a debenture. The money walk paid to him without the knowledge of the Directors, therefore, it did not find its way . into the sanker's books. All the receipts were forthcoming. The p.i.oper precaution alluded to by . the Committee, was the want a precaution in not obtaining security floret the late secretary, which the Directors admitted. The legal ex penses for the last three years had probably amounted to 40,0001. The amount due to the London solicitor Was about 1,0001., and to the one in Brighton about 2,0001. The engineer would answer the question re specting the day work. Mr. Rasriticia said that, at the time alluded to, they were obliged to do day work, owing to the slipping of the embankments, and, if they had not done so, the rail way would not have been open now. So far from the contractor having made 25,0001., he (Mr. Rastrick) had reason to believe that he had lost money. The CHAIRMAN continued—The sum taken by Mr. Wood was 1,599/. 13s. 2d. The way he got that stun into his posseSsion was by checks. When cheeks were sioled by the Directors, of course they went through the hands of the Secretary to the payment of the accounts. Mr. Wood forwarded a letter to him (the Chairman) certainly, containing threats, as was very natural, to prevent his being pursued. lie (the Chair man) read that letter to the Board, and every exertion was made to apprehend Wood. Forester was sent down to Portsmouth, and ordered to use every exertion. He (the Chairman) had heard that Wood had gone to Baden-Baden, but whether it was true he did not know. He (the Chairman) was the Deputy-Chairman of a Licensed Victualler's Assurance Company, and he was a member of the Bank of Ireland, and he did not see why he should not have the right of being a member of as many Companies as he thought proper.—(fHear, hear.) The Secretary certainly received the whole of his salary himself, and what he did with it, he (the Chairman) did not know. All he could say was he did not pay any of it to him, although he supposed the question was intended to imply that such was the case. He had now answered all the questions. A long and angry discussion here ensued of an ex tremely personal character, the publication of which would subject us an action. The Report was then adcpted and ordered to he printed and circulated amongst the shareholders. Mr. LEVY.—I wish you would say something about the dividend.—(A laugh.) I move kr. Chairman that you give us all you can.—(Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN said, if they declared a dividend of 15s. they would have to charge the next half year's ac count with the interest becoming due on the 15th of July, but if they determined on 10s. no one could find fault with the accounts, as the interest would be charged to the traffic account. Mr. LEVY proposed a 10s. dividend. A PROPRIETOR proposed 15s. A vote was then taken, and a dividend declared of 10s. the share, the original motion having been carried by 40 to 37. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman and Directors, and the meeting separated at Six o'clock. Co URT OF BANKRUPTCY. IMPORTANT TO CREDITORS. Our readers will recollect that a short time since we appriied them of the cancellation of all checks in the hands of the assignees, which had then six months to run, by order of the Lord Chancellor. It was evident, however, that something should be immediately done to supply their place, and thus prevent considerable in convenience to creditors, and hence the following order from the Learned Commissioners upon the subject has just been issued : " At the Court in Basinghall-stroct, " London, 15th July, 1842. " Whereas by an order of the Lord Chancellor, made on the 28th of June last, it was therein directed that all drafts for dividends, under any bankruptcy 'estate, which had been delivered to any official assignee by the accountant in bankruptcy, for more than six calendar months, the same having previously been signed by such accountant, but which had not been issued to any creditor of such estate, should be forthwith brought by such official assignee, together with a separate list thereof, under such estate, to any one or more of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Court of Bankruptcy, who should thereupon be at liberty to cancel the same, and to direct such several lists to be filed with the pro ceedings of the respective bankruptcies. 4 ' And whereas the said order further authorisod any one or more of the said Commissioners to make such order or orders, as should be necessary, of a new draft or drafts for the dividend or dividends, due to any such creditor or creditors, upon his or their applying for the same, and directed that such new drafts should be pre pared in the form prescribed in schedule B, annexed to the order of the Lords Commissioners for the custody of the Great Seal, dated October 31, 1835, and should be signed and countersigned in the same manner as the ori ginal draft, and afterwards paid by some one of the cashiers of the Bank of England out of the monies stand ing to the credit of the accountant in bankruptcy; " We do therefore order, that on the application of a creditor for any dividend or dividends, the official assig nee of the estate, from which such dividend is payable, shall, if satisfied that the creditor is entitled to receive it, and upon the production of the securities (if any) exhibited on the proof of the debt, make a new draft in the following form [here follows the form which credi tors applying for the payment of their dividends will find at the office of every official assignee in London. And which draft shall be left with one of the Commis sioners, who will compare it with the list of cancelled drafts filed with the proceedings, and, if correct, make an order upon the draft, directing the accountant in bankruptcy to sign the same, which the said accountant will afterwards return to the official assignee of that es tate, and when so signed and countersigned by the ern cir,l assignee, may then be issued to the creditor or cre ditors, or to some party duly authorised by him or them, on signing a receipt for the dividend.

THE SHIPPING INTEREST -The number of uu employed seamen at the port of London is now greater than on any previous occasion within the remembrance of the oldest shipowners. The reasons assigned for this unfortunate state of things are conflicting. Upwards of 500 able-bodied seamen are now traversing the purlieus of the London, St. Katharine, and the East and West India Docks, without employment, or the prospect of any. It is painful to witness the large number of first class vessels unchartered in the various docks, and ex hibiting brooms at their mast-heads— tbe nautical adver tisement indicating that they are for sale. THE SHEARING 1N NANTUCKET.—The Nantucket Islander says that some nine or ten thousand sheep of that island were stripped of their fleece last week ; that the shearing has been more profitable than any for seve ral years past ; and that a hundred sheep perished in a storm last Thursday night.

Henry Knott alias Nott, who was a few days ago charged with having plundered a number of tradesmen, whom he ordered to send goods to his warehouse, at No. 62, Sun-street, Bishops gate-street, was brought before the Lord Mayor for a second examination. The Justice-room was crowded wit', the victims of the prisoner. The prisoner upon looking round, said that the room was filled with his creditors.—(A laugh.) Mr. J. Hampden Crutch, of King's-place, Commercial-road, stated, that the prisoner, of whom he knew nothing, called upon him, and, after describing himself as a commission traveller, who received the commission once a month, asked fur credit for that time for some grocery. Witness said he would give the credit if a respectable reference were given. " Oh," said the prisoner, " 1 can give you as good as any in London," and referred him to a Mr. Edwards, butcher, in Spectacle-alley, Whitechapel, o ho, upon being questioned, certainly did speak highly of Mr. Knott, declaring that the gentleman was a most upright tradesman, and paid not only for what he 'ordered, but what he borrowed, with the utmost punctuality• Credit to the amount of 21. 10s. was accordingly given, but Mr. Knott wanted more and more, and witness, after a very few visits, sus pecteda I l e iisr thatreferee, " f r a r i , e s eh , : without :b t‘ foundi d t taking i e t t i l g ':aat t t he trouble ed t rebotibremlheienrteod hadt l e e leave decamped,aainl ydmspeesa,s,k,aigtthoe for inquirers.: . The prisoner nodded his acqui esence in the statement, and told his solicitor there was an invoice, and the transaction was as regular as any of the rest. Mr. Ludlow, the representativ e of Messrs. Beasley, Smith, and Co., ale and porter merchants, stated, that the prisoner had " done " the concern out of about 121. worth of bottled ale when he resided in Mitre-street, New_cut, and appeared to be carry ing on the business of a hat -manufacturer. Not content with having got in a quantity of the best ale, Mr. Knott intro• duced a friend of his of the name of Kitcher, or rather 4. C a t c her," who followed the example. They even appointed a certain day at twelve o'clock for the payment of their ac counts, but they went off bag a n d b a ggage at five o'c lock in the morning. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that the con tents of the house had been taken in a van to the Borough road, kept there all night, and removed, the Lord knows where, in the morning. Mr. Knott had promised 12s. a dozen for tho ale, which was of the best quality, but he did not even return the bottles. The LORD MAYOR—.DO you expect the bottles ?—(Laugh ter. ) Witness—Not at all. Mr. Hunt—You regularly sold him the ale ; did you not? Witness—Certainly. I was introduced to him by a friend of mine, whom he victimised. '- Prisoner—All a correct tradesman-like transaction, I assure you, my Lord.—(Laughter.) I owe for the ale most posi tively. The Loan MAYOR (to Mr. Ludlow) —This is downright swindling; but you have given him credit ? Witness—l know it, my Lord, but I came forward for the sake of the public. Mr. W. Flaxtuan, of Barbican, stationer, said that in his absence a person called at his house from Mr. Smith's, in Sun street, and desired that a ledger, value 11. 33., anti a day book, should be sent thither, and stated th a t the clerk would pay for them. The ledger ailai left at Sun-street by the messenger, who was informed by a porter that the clerk and Mr. Knott were out, but that if he would call in the afternoon the money should he ready.' Of course not a f ar thing w as ever received. Mr. John Clayton sta ted th at he let a house in Montagu street to the Owner, who gave him a bill for the fixtures, but Mr. Knott, the moment he got possession, went off to the land lord of the house and sold him the fixtures.—( Laughter. ) The Lotto MAvox—Did you make no inquiry about the bill ? Witness—Yes, I asked him whether the acceptor vtas respectable, and he said that no man could be more so.—. (Laughter. ) The Lost" MAYOR—And so you took his word for the re spectability of his friend? Witness—l really thotight the bill was a good one, but I found out that it was Just the reverse, ( Great laughter. ) The Loan MAvoa—You found it would not de. Witness —Exactly so, y ou r Lordship. Prisoner—'fle made me out a bill of parcels in the regular way. your Lordship. I have a cart on the premises, which cost 141. and I cannot get that. Mr. Hunt _My client is willing to give up that. He admits that he has no claim to it. Witness —Oh, but it is detained for money, which the pri soner owes.—( Laughter.) Mr. John Heavens, of Ship Tavern-passage, Leadenhall street, market salesman, stated that the prisoner's clerk, of whom he hail some knowledge, called upon him, and said he had a good customer for the house, and ordered books and stationary far Mr. Knott, to the amount of 71. 13s. 7d. Wit ness sent a young man with the goods ordered, and desired him not to leave them except he saw that the house was a re spectable one. The messenger left the articles, and gave a favourable account of the house, and attempts were made to get more goods, but without avail ; and as witness rather bothered the premises in Sun-street with calls, Mr. Knott waited upon him, and said all should be paid in art honourable -----------,„,,, way on Wednesday.
