COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE GORTON. This bankrupt was described as of Great Windmill-street, butcher, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr Pearce appeared for the assignees. Mr Reaves, for the bankrupt, said this was a case of pure misfortune. The bankrupt had had the misfortune not long before his bankruptcy to break his knee cap, and was con fined for some months, and shortly after his recovery a similar calamity again befel him, and he was again laid up for four months, and went abroad for a short time, and during his absence he was made bankrupt. His accounts were perfectly satisfactory, and a dividend of 3s lld in the pound had already been paid, and a further sum was expected; under these circumstances no doubt the court would grant an immediate order. Mr Pearce said the assignees were perfectly satisfied with the bankrupt's conduct. The order of discharge was granted, and an allowance, of £5 was granted for the bankrupt's wife's services, in managing the business for the assignees for a few weeks. IN RE CHALMERS. This bankrupt was described as of Hampton Court, tailor, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr Sargood opposed for the assignee, on the ground that the bankrupt had refused to comply with an order of the court to give up the premises. They wished also to have a goods and cash account for three months previously to the bankruptcy, as the bankrupt had received moneys just, before his bankruptcy for which be had not accounted in his books, which had not bean fully made up. The bankrupt admitted that he had received £6 or £7 for goods, and he assigned as a reason that if he gave up pos session he would be in the streets. Mr Denny, for the bankrupt, said the lease had been given up, but it was utterly worthless, and he submitted that the bankrupt had rendered the best accounts in his power. His Honour said that the bankrupt had not complied with the order of the Court, and the case would be adjourned sini die, R ithout protection. _ . . . _ Mr Sargood ultimately consented to protection being granted fur a week, for bankrupt to givo up possession.

THE MEDICAL ACT.—Mr Talley, of Blaconsfield, Bucks, attended before Mr Tyrwhitt, and said he had received a letter from Dr Kahn expressing a hope that it would be publicly represented that a person was misrepresenting him by using his name. He did not wish, beyond reading the letter he hal received, to occupy the time of the court. Mr Tyrwhitt said he did not see why Mr Talley should do so. There ware no proceedings under the Medical Ant before him. He did not wish to hear the letter read, and would not. Mr Talley said, that being the case, ho wished to make an application against a person keeping an Anatomical Museum. He then entered into a long statement, which was interrupted by Mr Tyrwhitt asking him to let him know what his application was for. Mr Talley said it was for a summons under the 4th sec tion of the Medical Act against a person assuming the title of physicin, and carrying on an extensive practice accord ing to his own statement. He (Mr Talley) had been through the museum kept by him, and there were not fewer than 40,000 representations in it. The person was practising a gross fraud on the public, as Dr Kahn was in Vienna. Mr Tyrwhitt asked Mr Talley for the letter from Dr Kahn, and the handbill alluded to in it. Mr Talley said his Worship would see that the handbill stated, " Dr Kahn, finding that the great demands upon his time at his museum rendered it necessary that he should see patients there only, begs to intimate that he can no longer be consulted at his private residence." Mr Tyrwhitt said the question was whether the state ment was not true when the handbills were issued. Mr Talley said the bills were issued daily—he had them thrust into his hands on all sides. He wanted to summons the person who practised at the Museum. Mr Tyrwhitt asked Mr Talley how he would show the person practised Mr Talky said he would do so. He had not brought his witnesses with him, wanting the summons first. Mr Tyrwhitt said he would not grant a summons till he had:a good deal more laid before him. When Mr Talley showed him that the person at the Museum practised as Dr Kahn, he could have a summons, but not all the eloquence in the world would induce him to grant one before. _ _ _ Mr Talky then left the court, and shortly afterwards returned stating that he had to apply for a summons against Mr Bearnard. Mr Tyrwhitt inquired what the summons was for? Mr Talley laid that on a former occasion he (Mr. Tyr witt) gave him permission to apply again. Mr Tyrwhitt remarked that Mr Talley had already done so, and that ho then told him, as he would do so again, that he would grant no summons in the case till after the 10th o! November. Mr Talley said ho was acting on publio grounds, and according to his instructions, and he was much obliged to hie worship for the hearing he had given him. WESTMINSTER. RIVAL ATTRACTIONS.—" M ILES'S BOY" IN DIEFICUL TIES.—Thomas Miles, a boy, between 14 and 15 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr Arnold, charged with stealing three pears, value 11_, from the shop of Mr Ferdi nand King, 37, Hendon-street, I'imlico. Prosecutor said that during his absence from home yes terday afternoon the prisoner and some other boys came to the shop and stole a quantity of fruit, with which they escaped. When informed of it he determined to go on the opposite side of the way and keep a watch over his premises. He had not been there long when the prisoner and two other boys came up, and the prisoner, leaning over a num ber of baskets, stretched himself into the shop and took three pears. Prosecutor seized him by the arm, when he dropped them, and then very coolly said that he had got nothing in his hand. Prosecutor said he was obliged to bring the case before the magistrate, in consequence of the frequent robberies committed upon him.' Prisoner exclaimed —Hear me, your worship—it's all wrong. Mr Arnold—Well, what do you wish to say ? Prisoner—Your worship, I was a .sitting at home when I heard a horgan, and I went out and then there was some blue fire in the street, and a blind man a-playing a whistle, and I was a• looking at the blue fire and listening to him, when th.ree boys shoved me on the pears, and then the pro secutor comes across and says, " I have get you," and lays hold of me, just as though I was a thief, and I asked him if I'd to,k his pears, and he said I had, but it was all wrong. Mr Arnold remanded the prisoner until Monday to have some inquiries made into his antecedents, THAMES. A FAST CAB HORSE.—STRANGE, BUT TRUE,—John Harper, a cabdriver, appeared before Mr Selfe to answer a charge of furious and reckless driving, It appeared from the evidence of a police constable that the prisoner was driving his cab in a dangerous manner and whipping his horse. Much alarm was caused by his imprudent conduct. The horse and cab were proceeding at the rate of 16 miles an hour. Defendant—What, 16 miles an hour; my horse won't go eight miles an hour. rolicc-constable 121 K was called to confirm the last witness, and he said the defendant's horse travelled at the rate of 60 miles an hour. (Laughter.) Mr Salfe—Nonsense; 60 miles an hour, that is a mile a minute. Policeman—S'xty miles an hour was the pace—not less. (Loud laughter,) _ _ Inspector Griffin--The constable is under some misap prehension ; he don't moan it. The Police-constable--Yes, I do. (Roars of laughter.) Inspector Griffin—You don't mean 60 miles an hour P The Police-constable—Yes, I do; 60 wiles an hour—not less. (Tremendous laughter.) Inspector Griffin—Well, ifyou insist on it, I have nothing to say. _ _ Defendant—Now, what can I say to that officer, Sixty miles an hour I Is there any horse can do it ? Mr Selfe—No cab-horse could travel at that speed. The Defendant—The fact is the policemen were asleep, and the hallooing of the men in the cab woke them up, and I pulled up at the Bedford Arms, in Bedford-square, Step ney, and the policemen rubbed their eyes and had a look at me. Mr Selfe said there was a slight discrepancy in the evidence of the two police-constables. (A laugh.) But ho believed there was furious driving. The defendant might have called the men in the cab if he was not guilty of the offence imputed to him. He fined the defendant se. and 2s. costs. The penalty was paid. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.—Messre.

(From the Era.) . .. The four we shall take to beat the field are Gratitude, Mail Tra;n, Suspicion, and Thalestris, and ia giVusr the preferenez to TEALESTRIS and GRATITUDE •ve think we are justified, as they have a great pull in age and weight over the other pair named. (From the Spo2 ting Gaz,tl3) My opinion is that the race will fall to either GRATITUDE Or MAIL TRAIN, and as the former has the best of the weights, I think her chance is to bo preferred to that of the Woody - atek. horse, and next to these I shall expect to sec Lady Hylda, the Calista colt, and Bea'rix. (From the Field.) When all the facts connected with the favourites are weighed in the scale, and due allowance mado for trials and jockeys, I can come to no other conclusion than that the judge's verdict this year will be in favour of either NAIL TRAIN or GRATITUDE. (From the Sporting Life.) I must stand my original selection, Mail Train, as the best of 'William Day's, together with Lady Hylda, Calista Colt, Cathedral, and Gratitude as the best of the formidable lot, finally chasing as my brace of champions GRATITUDE and CATHEDRAL, thus leaving to fight the battle for me the best publicly and the best privately tried in the race. (From the kFunday Times.) We can only conclude that the winner will turn up in Gratitude, Thalestris, Lady Hylda, the Calista colt, or the best of the 'Westmoreland, Day lot, Our firm conviction is that GRATITCDE will gain the laurels; and her most dan gerous opponent of our selected few must be Thalestris. And, really, if the latter was a dead 'un at Goodw,nd, she ought to win here; but wa cannot believe that Lord Coventry would have openly declared her to be a bad 'un if she were net. His lordship may be as fond of turf diplo macy in a legitimate way as any one, but we cannot believe him guilty of deliberate falsehood or chicanery. Timo alone will tell. (From the Weekly Tim's.) I shall stand or fall by the CALISTA COLT as the winner, next to whom I have the most fancy for Beatrix and Myrtle. (From the Age and Pilot.) We will take to beat the field— GRATITUDE and W.

At the Liverpool County Court, on Thursday, there wes 1, befora Mr J. K. Blair, the judge, end a jury, the action of B-anson v. Heath, which wrs brought to recover r asscssion of the mrau-ct:pt of a drr - na, ent;tl:d "Lir:en Trrfford," or its N.s‘llo. Mr Wilson appe:red for the plrin cff; Mr Cobb for the defendant. Mr Wilson arid the ple'at'ff is this case wes Mr Wm. Scholrißrenson, leF see rid manager of the Adelphi Theatre. and the defendant was Mr Thr adore Heath, manager of the Colosseum Theatre, and licensed victualler of Liverpool. It was rn action to recover either the menusci:pt of a drama written by end belonging to the plaintiff entitled "'Alien Trafford," or the rum of LlO, 'he value of it. The simple queition the jury hal to decide was, had the plaintiff a right to the manuscript, r - id was it detailed by the derendant? If the MS. were given up to the plaintiff the damage sustained would, on the payment of the costs, be r - auc dh a mete norrin^l amount. The plaintiff was for merly a prefessiona' actor, rid in IS6I was engaged by the defendant to perform at his theatre. Mr Heath, knowing that the plaintiff was an occasional composer of dramas, d h m if, during; his en7agement, he cauld produce any novelty. The plaintiff replied th4l he was then engaged on a d'.ama that wou'd, ho thought, be of more than ordinary interest. The drama being fia'shcd, it was played for 18 successive performing nights (luting the plaintiff's engage ment, rad it was corsidered to bs a very succ'ss.al pro duction. From time to time the plaintiff wanted to 1-now what Mr Heath intended to pay him for a copy of tho piece, and on the last night of his engagement be went to that gentlemen and requested to receive same remuneration. Mr Heath was at that time in the money-teVng place; he had a great deal to do; end, after some discussion, he agreed to g:eo Mr Branson e:‘, when the manuscript was handed over for the pu pose ct a copy being tie:en. Mr Branson was about to pew': id to Aberdeen a te'fil an engagement There, and the aria - gement was that the menusc.ipt should be left with Mr Heath to take a copy from, the original to be returned to him. Now the ju , would have to say whether Mr Heath merely prrchrscl a copy of the drama for £2, or whether he gave that brm for the orig:nal manuscript. Mr Branson had written severe]. times to Mr Heath to have the manuscript rettn.:ed, but possibly this ac:ion would never have been brought 1 not Mr Heath in the early par lof the year advertised the drama as F 9 proper 4 and for sale, when Mr L.ansan thought it necessary to vrudicate b's tight to the troperty. It was not the question whether the manuscript was worth £lO or 10s ; ell they Lai to say wes —did it tight—Ply belong to the plaintiff. In accordance with the suagez.tion made by bis Honour, it was decided that the verdict shou'd be for the pla'utitf, the mnusctipt should be given up, aid the damages re duced to a merely nom'nel a-norZt, 'The plaintiff, having coi:oborated the statement of his advocate, said he wrote two characters in the drama espe cially for himself, for he appeared in the drama t 33 the twin brothers. (A laugh) H e made a charge of £3 for a copy of the manuscript, but t oo k £) Saw an advelisement in the Era that the piece was fer 4. sale, was time to bring an action. Hedccan dho then muchthought as houghttreret guiner 3 for copies of pi eces wiittenbyeitd him pndas t little as 38s. In cross - exam i nation the witness said the piece had a sensation scene in it. Mr Heath might have registered the drama, but it w as nevert h e l ess witnes s's property. Mr Henry Feanklin, th ea t r i ca l a gent, provel causing the insertion of an adv er ti semen t i n the Era stating that the pi▪ on called " Lillian Trafford" was for sale' and that the solo property in it bel onge d to Mr Theodore Heath. The pi▪ ece was mere valuable through having been performed for three weeks, es it was stamped with popelarity, Mr Cobb, for the defence, said that Mr Heath had in '- chased the manuscript, and he had registered the piece and got it licensed. Mr Brenson was in very needy circuna slences at the time he received the £2, and Mr Heath was very kind to him. Were there any real grounds for the action, it would have been brought long ago, and the plain tiff would not have ellowed so much time to elapse. The piece was written for Mr Heath, and was his sole property. It had been performed at the theatre i i Hull, end on Mr Braaten threatening an Wien against the manager of that establishment, Mr Heath wrote him a letter complaining of his audacity in claiming the piece as his property after the writer had paid for it, end trusting that he should hear no more of his "impudent bombast." The defendant was called, end said he asked the plaintiff on one occasion if ho was not good at " hashing" a niece, and if so, what would he write him one for, as witness had a fine water scene used in the representation of the " Pirate of Savanna," which he wished to introduce? The plaintiff replied that he had no rehearsals, that witness had been very kind to him, that it would be pastime to write such a piece, and that he would make no charge. Witness told him he could introduce a rock in the scene, make the " heavy" man throw the leading lady from it into t he water, while he himself might, if he thought fit, jump in after her and save her. (Laughter.) Witness named the title of the piece, end it ran for three weeks. Mr Brenson took the sensation part, but witness believed that he broke down. (Laughter.) Mr Branson asked one night if £2 would be too much to give him for the piece, and witness said " certainly not," and hended over that amount: Mr Branson afterwards wished witness to retueu the manuscript, and offered to give him a sovereign if he would do so. Declined to do so, as he had got blocks specially for the piece, and asked what did Mr Branson want the manuscript for ? He replied that it might be of use to him on his benefit nights, and witness said ho might play the piece on such occasions, and he would lend him his woodcuts. Benjamin Stoddart and another witness named Barford were examined, and they stated that they were playing at Mr Heath's theat-o in 1861. They heard the plaintiff say he was w riling a Crama for Mr Heath. Mr Stoddart and Mr Heath also stated that the plaintiff on one occasion at Mr Squire Greenwood's applied for permission to play "Lillian Trefford.'' His Honour left it to the jury to say whether there had been an absolute transfer of the property to the defendant, or whether the £2 was given merely for a copy. The j ury, after a few minutes' consultation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £lO, that sum to.be reduced to is on the manuscript being given up. The costs of witnesses were allowed.

Her beauty, her great talents, her high cheracter end pure patriotism, the influence she exercised upon the more mo• derate and respectable section of the republicans, the forti tude with which she bore the sot rows of her imprisonment, and the intrepidity with which she met her tragic fate— ell have contributed to render her an object of attraction and pity. She stands forth among her contemporaries as a fair representative of what was best in the party that overthrew the ancient monarchy. In the prejudices of the party she fully shared, arid her memoirs speak of Louis XVI. and of his political intentions in terms which history has certainly not ratified. But, in the gene rally noble aims of the Girondists, and in their utter abhorrence of the excesses of Robespierre and his crew, she also fully shared ; and when her iriends fell before that Nemesis of successful agitators—the necessity of governing in the face of agitators more extreme than themselves— their fall bore her with them in a common ruin. Able and, for the most part, upright men, had they e'l possessed her energy and courage, it is 41) ossible they might have made a more effictual stand than they did. Be that as it may, few nobler deaths than hers were the result of their want of practical governing power.— The _Reader, MEDITERRANEAN HOTEL COMPANY (LIMITED.) —The poll demanded by Mrs. Parr on the question, as to the passing of the acc.unts of the late directors, took place .o-day, when there were recorded, in favour of the resolu- tion that these accounts be passed, 616 votes ; and in favour of Mrs. Parr's amendment, 33 votes. The accounts were therefore passed by a majority of 583 votes. The Brest journals announce the departure from that port of the frigate Sybille, with a convoy of emigrants for the French colony of New Caledonia, in the Pacific. The Sybille has already made three voyages with emigrants, many of whom have since married young wo men brought up by public charity in France, and who had voluntarily gone out. Those females received dowries from the Empress, and aro so well satisfied with their lot that several have written to Paris to induce their former com panions to follow. Regular communications have been established between Port-de-France, the chief town ()f the colony, and Sydney in Australia. MINERAL WATERS.—The beneficial effects of mineral waters are generally admitted, but the cause of their efficiency is declared by the bast practitioners to be unknown. The only means as yet employed to solve the mystery has been chemical analysis ; and when a chemist hes discovered a milligram of iodine or some other substance in a spring, its efficacy is immediately attributed to that substance, although it has been hundreds of times administered in much larger doses without any visible effect. In a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, Dr. Scoutetten endeavours to show that the real activi , y of mineral waters is owing to their electricity. Imbued with this idea he at first attempted to discover traces of elec tricity in mineral springs by means of a gold-leaf electro scope, but without success. Continuing his experiments,he found the confirmation of Becquerel's theory, viz., that the earth in contact with a sheet of water manifests electricity ; and also that when the latter is impregnated with air, it takes a quantity of positive electricity, while the earth is negative. The same is the case with sea water, bnt all mineral springs are negative with regard to the earth. By the aid of Nobili's galvano-meter, which is founded on the principle of the deviation of the needle under the influence of a galvanic current, Dr Scoutetten found that, if a mineral water be brought into imperfect contact with common aerated water by means of a porous diaphragm, and if platinum elec trodes be used a regular pile is formed, and the galvano-metes shows the mineral water to be negative, and the common one positive. Extending these experiments to the human body he found that mineral waters determine a current always passing from the water to the patient ; they are therefore negative with respect to the latter, and the galvanometer in their case marks 70, 80, and as much as 90 degrees. Hence Dr Scoutettin explains the efficacy of mineral springs by the three following propositions-1. That mineral waters all determine phenomena of excitation owing to the electricity they develop in contact with the human body ; 2. That they exercise a therapeutio action, which varies according to the nature of the mineralising elements; and 3. That they oc casion a topical action which provokes eruptions on the skin. REGENERATION OF BONE.—In a paper addressed ;0 the Academy of Sciences, Dr. Sedillot examines the influence of the vital functions on the structure and form of the organs. Without entering into the stricay professional part of the paper, we will glean a few parti culars which may appear interesting to the general reader. Dr Sodillot states that if, of the two bones which constitute the leg or the arm, one of them be partly cut away, and not afterwards reproduced by the periosteum, the other bone increases in size so as to acquire a volume equal to that of the two bones taken together. This phenomenon is parti cularly evident in the case of dogs whose tibia has been cut away. In these animals the peruse is is almost filiform, and scarcely measures the fifth part of the thickness of the other bone, and yet it soon acquires the volume of the lat ter, and may e.yen exceed it. In one of Dr Sedillot's expe • riments the peror sous shich, in its normal state, had a diameter not exceeding three millimetres, increased to ten at the point where the tibia had been cut away, and the same is observable in the cubitus and radius when one of these bones has been partially removed. These facts, however singular, are easily explained. Whenever our locomotive organs are kept in great activity they acquire greater size and strength. Thus the right side of the body is generally more developed than the opposite one, and in left-handed persons the reverse is the case. Boxing and fencing masters have their right arms much more voluminous than the left. Motion, in fact, accelerates innervation and circulation, and renders nutrition more active. The density of the osseous tissue is equally im portant. All animals that have to support considerable and prolonged effarts have very compact boner, nearly approach ing to the density of ivory—an observation which is con firmed on inspecting the skeletons of several horses cele brated for their swiftness, which are preserved at the Ana tomical Museum of Alfort. All perforations and other operations on the living bone cause the formation of new strata of bone. A HOUSEBREAKER SHOT AT BIRMINGHAM. — Yesterday, at thb Public Office, Birmingham, a man named John imith, was charged with breaking into the warehouse of Mr J. Randall, jeweller, Llukley-street, and stealing 14cz. of gold and 5s worth of postage stamps; total value, £2B. The prisoner was suffering from the effects of a gunshot wcund, and had to be brought from the General Hospital where ho had lain some days, to appear before the magistrates. A few nights ago the prisoner and three other suspicious-looking fellows were seen loitering about the proseciVor's premises; and Mr. Green, the landlord of a neighbouring publichouse, and his man Grice, set themselves to watch their movements. Grico armed himself with a gun loaded with blank cartridge, but did not perceive in the hurry that the ramrod was left in the barrel. After watching the men for some time they saw the prisoner coming out of the warehouse. They called upon him to stop, but he made off at the top of his speed. Grice pursued him, threatened to shoot him if he did not stop. The prisoner did not heed the threat, and at last Grice fired. The ramrod struck the prisoner and passed through his thigh, but fortunately the wound i. flitted was net of a dangerous chareekr. The prisoner immediaLly rose and showed fight and was only secured atter being knocked down with the gun. The prisoner's companions escaped. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.321 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £0 178.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-1 f the per cent. dearer in London than iJI I'aria.
