By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' flail,- London. fr.c., The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Oenuences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man - I Mecl, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its peruse. is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and whe are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penaltieS m a y be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and Bacon , equenc es maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to whi c h th e ti me l y a id of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensiveene prac tice in .he treatme n t o f th ese d e licate complaints, unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care o f i g norant emp i r i c a, who inflict great injury on those who We induced to place faith in ',bele pretensions.

At an early hour on the 25th nit. her Majesty's steam-ship Caradoo was telegraphed from the Palace signal station, and by 7 o'clock was hi Malta hatbour. The disappointment of the public wasgreat when it be came known that his Royal Highness the Duke of C am bridge was not on board. As soon as the Caradoo arrived a guard of honour of the 62d was ord ere d t o th e C u stonthouse to iieceive Lord Raglan, and one from the 68th of the Palace; with a similar object ; but his lordship declined every bind of honour, nor would he even accept of a salute.

The appointment of Master George L. Bradley (1839), recently serving in the Crescent, 42, receiving-ship at Rio, was to the Industry, not Indus. The Industry is a steam store-ship, at present at Blackwell, which, has been bought into the royal navy for the purpose of being employed on similar service as the Rhadamanthus paddle wheel steam store-ship. Paymaster—Frederick J. Fegan (1849) ; at present secretary to the Superintendent at Sheerness Dockyard, to be secretary to Rear-Admiral William James 'tope Johnstone.

Lyons, previously to her departure on Wednesday, received orders to take the armed schooner water tank from Sheerness op her way to the Baltic. The Miranda proceeded down Swin to try her engines and boilers, the latter having undergone some alterations and improvements. The trim of the Miranda has been altered as suggested by Captain Lyons ; she has been brought down more by the stern, and this alteration has considerably increased her speed.. The inconvenience of the priming of the boilers has been entirely obviated. The new steering yoke and alteration of rudder have completely corrected her steerage which is now effected with ease and accuracy. The Miranda draws at her - deepest draught aft 15 feet 3 inches. She left Sheerness at 3.30 p.m. yesterday. The crew of the Waterloo manned the rigging, and gave her three hearty cheers, which were immediately returned by the Miranda's crew. The French line-of-battle ship Breslau, of 90 guns, Captain Bosse, was towed into Sheerness harbour yes terday by the French steam brig of War Lucifir, oT2 guns. Captain Dispan. The Breslau saluted the Admi ral's flag, which was immediately returned by the Water loo, 121 guns, flag-ship. The dockyard authorities are busily engaged in repairing the damage done by her being in collision with the 'rage, of 100 guns, French ship. The armament Le Breslau is as follows ;—Lower deck, 26 guns, carrying 301 b. shot, and 4 guns carrying 801 b. shell, or shot No. 1 ; on the main deck, 28 guns, carrying 301 b. shot, and 4 guns carrying 801 b. shell, or shot No. 2 ; on the upper deck, 20 guns, carrying 301 b. shot, and 4 shell guns, carrying 301 b. shell. Her ship's company consists of 900 officers and seamen, with 200 marines. The Lucifer steam-brig, Captain Dispan, was to leave Sheerness for the Downs last evening. The Tage line-of-battle ship of 100 guns is to proceed to the Baltic, and the Breslau will take out spars from here to make good the damage she received in the Downs. The Gladiator, 6, paddle frigate, Captain Broke, and the Stromboli, 6, Commander Robert Hall, left Spit head after sunset on Wednesday evening, to look out for the reported Russian frigate said to be in the Channel. The _Harpy, 4, iron steam-vessel, is ordered to be ex pedited and made ready to leave the steam factory basin at Portsmouth by to-morrow. She had steam up yes terday and tested her machinery. She will proceed, when ready, to the Black Sea and take the flag of Rear- Admiral Boxer, superintendent of the transport service in the East. The Scourge, 6, paddle frigate, Commodore Adams, is completely equipped, and will be out of the hands of the dockyard people by to-morrow. The Powerful, 84, Captain Mansel, was brought down to Portsmouth harbour yesterday, and placed under the meeting shears to receive her , masts and com mence her equipment. Captain Manse! is down, and several of the officers. The Miranda, 15, screw corvette, Captain E. M. Lyons, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from the eastward. The Nile, 91 guns, screw steam-ship, Commodore Henry B. Martin, C. 8., &c.—The intermediate shaft and driving-wheel of the port engine of this ship were got in place on board on Wednesday, the African steam-tug vessel having brought the same down from Messrs. Sea ward and Capel's engine factory at Limehouse on the previous evening, and the connection of the engine ready , for sea was reported that night. It was intended, if pos sible, that the Nile should have left at two a.m. yesterday, but the necessity of having dockyard men off during the night to attend to the moorings was considered ob jectionable, but at 2.45 p.m. yesterday she steamed out of harbour, accompanied by the steam-vessel Myrtle, Master Commander William S. Bourchier, for the purpose of bringing back the pilot and Mr. John Dinnon, superintendent of steam machinery afloat, and she goes direct for the Baltic with a wind. The defect in the crank pin, which has caused trou ble in reparation, has given at the same time an idea of what can be done at a push, for when the Nile made her number to the Port Admiral, on Thursday last, in the afternoon of the same day the sheer hulk at Chatham was telegraphed for, and at 7.30 a.m. next day she arrived, against a strong head wind (in force seven) between two steam-tug vessels, the African and Adder. The shaft, weighing 16 tons, was shipped for the con tractor's works without casualty, and in 26 hours from the time of its arrival at the Canal Ironworks, Lime house, it was reshipped for Sheerness—a despatch highly creditable to the establishment. The Nile's machinery was designed by Messrs. Seaward and Capel in 1845, and has been in store in their works since that period. Wooewren, May 4.—The Philip Laing, No. 41, horse and troop ship, was taken into the basin at Wool wich at three o'clock a.m. to-day, and the spare men and horses of Captain Turner's field battery were marched from the garrison at one o'clock p.m. to the dockyard, and embarked in the afternoon. About 300 • pensioners have arrived in the garrison at Woolwich, preparatory to their embarkation for hospital service in Turkey. They have been formed into four companies, and were inspected in the east square of the Royal'Ar tillery barracks, at 10 a.m. to-day, by Colonel Tulloh, NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. superintending staff officer of pensioners, accompanied A large number of gun-room officers, who arrived in by Major John Forbes, staff officer of pensioners at the Himalaya from the fleet under Vice-Admiral Dundas, Woolwich.

DARING ROBBERY. —Yesterday morning information was forwarded to the v arious metropolitan police-sta tions of a daring robbery having been committed at the premises of Mr. C. Quill, of Leather-lane, Holborn. On Sunday evening last Mr. Quill's premises were entered by means of skeleton keys, and an iron safe carried off containing 1401. in gold, 1501. in silver, a Bank of England note for 101., and a cheque for 201., the lease of the premises, and some books and papers. Yesterday morning, about four o'clock the iron safe was found broken open in a court in William-street. Harper-street, Old Kent-road, containing the cheque for 201., and the whole of the books and papers. It is supposed that the thieves wrapped the iron saf4 up in a horse cloth, and conveyed it away in a cab. A reward of 201. has been offered for the apprehension of the depredators, but not the slightest clue has yet been obtained as to their whereabouts. SERIOUS EMBEZZLEMENT AT MANCHESTER. —On Thursday morning, at the Manchester City police-court, James Parnall, a respectable-looking man, about fifty years of age, was charged with having embezzled the large sum of 1,5001. Mr. William Dossa Whitehead, fent dealer, stated that the prison er h a d b een i n his em ploy for the long period. of twenty- one y ears , a nd that up to the period of his apprehension he was his sales man and collector. Mr. Smith, cashier for Messrs. Burt and Whalley, stated that in January he paid the prisoner 1201. 15s. on account of Mr. Whitehead, and at another date in the same month 781. 4s. Mr. Wm. E. Hamer, cashier to Messrs. Tubini and C o ., s t a t e d that on the 14th of March he p aid the prisone r 851. 12 5 ., i n April 1001. on accoun t, and again in April 321.95., closing the account. Mr. Wni. Farier, cashier to Messrs. Crafts and Stell, stated that on the . 20th of January he paid the prisoner 1841. 19s. and in March 109/. 16s. Mr. Richard Williamson, cashier for Messrs. John Fender and Co., deposed that on the 24th of March he paid the prisoner 711. is. 6d. Mr. Anthony, cashier of the firm of Messrs. Henry and Co. paid the prisoner 273/. Bs. in March. Mr. Charles Bannerman paid on the 24th of February 2721. ss. to the prisonor, and on the 31st of March 791. 7s. 6d. The prisoner had not accounted for any of these su ms, amounting in the aggregate to 1,4071., with the exception of 50/. on account of Messrs. Tubini. The prisoner did not offer any defence, nor did Mr. Whitehead explain how it came that the pri soner had had the opportunity of embezzling to such a large extent, and of extending his transactions over so long a period as from January to the present time. The magistrates sent the case for trial by a jury. There are several other cases discovered, and alzogether the de ficiencies &mount to more tau 2,000/, [PRICE SD. marched into the dockyard at the hour appointed, and in the brief space of half an hour afterwards every man was regularly told off to his station in the troop-ship. Two privates absented themselves on the regiment falling in at barracks in the morning, whose places were quickly filled up by two who had previously been selected to re main with the depot. The ship dropped out of harbour at three yesterday afternoon, and at five she was on her way to the Bosphorus. Yesterday upwards of 200 young men arrived at the head recruiting offices, Delahay-street and Duke-street. Westminste r , to join the different regiments for which they have volunteered. They are from different parts of the country, all standing over five feet five. They are chiefly for cavalry service, Hussars and Lancers. The recruiting for the 35th Regiment of Foot, now stationed in the Tower, has already made considerable progress. General Berkeley and Coionel Frazer are in defatigable in their efforts, as its commanders, to place this crack regiment in a perfect state of efficiency, and a few weeks it w:11 be fit for any description of active service, DUBLIN, May 4.—On Tuesday morning the 11th Hussars left their barracks for the Plimnix-park, for ex ercise and drill, preceded by the band of the 16th Lan cers, in consequence of their own band being included amongst the ranks, wearing the same arms and accoutre ments as the rest of the regiment. The Glendalough, horse-transport, 1,058 tons burthen, arrived in Kings town harbour yesterday, for the purpose of embarking a portion of the 11th Hussars for the seat of war. She sailed from Liverpool in company with four others, but they had to put back in consequence of contrary winds. METROPOLITAN AND GENERAL FREE HOLD LAND SOCIETY. Last evening a meeting of the shareholders and friends of the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of balloting for the distribution of rights to advances in this flourishing society. Shortly after eight o'clock the chair was taken by George J. Philps, Esq. - By joining this society, a mechanic or labourer, or other person of limited means, can, by a small weekly or monthly contribution, become the proprietor in his own right of a piece of freehold land, upon which a dwelling-house rnly be erected, either to let or occupy. : To effect this object land is purchased in large quantities by the acre, and divided into plots of an annual value of not less than forty shillings, and allotted to the shareholders at the wholesale or cost price. A saving is thus effected of from thirty to sixty pounds on each plot. In purchasing land great care is taken to obtain, as far as possible, such as will be immediately available for building upon. The estate already purchased are situated at Barnes, Wimbledon, and Reading. The cost of the conveyance to the members is thirty shillings each, exclusive of stamps, and is added to the price of the allotments, and will be paid for by the allottees in their regular subscriptions. The allottees give mortgages on the allotments to the trustees of the society for the amount of the advances made to them. The society advances the difference between the price of the allotments and the contributions already paid in by the allottees, the members paying 5 per cent interest, calculated at the end of each year, on the balance due to the society. Members whose rights have accrued, not wishing to choose land, may enter their rights for sale at the price at which they are willing to accept, in the register kept at the office, and by inspecting such register, any member wishing to btain an allotment, may ascertain the price at which the right can be obtained. Members may et any time redeem their mortgages, by paying off the advances made to them, and a release will then be given to them by the trustees, and their shares will be extinguished. If the allotted should hold other shares in the society than the share or shares on which the allotment was made, then such shares only as he has paid up, by redeeming the mortgage, will be extinguished, and be will continue a member of the so ciety for his remaining shares. Interest at the rate of Si. Bs. 4d. is allowed on all shares until they are allotted. A deposit account has also been opened, and members and others may deposit small or large sums at five per cent. interest, and the money so deposited with the society, with the interest due thereon, may be withdrawn upon giving seven days' notice, if under 501, and above that sum and under 3001., fourteen days' notice. Persons are at liberty to join at any time without paying back subscriptions : they may also at any time either increase or reduce the number of shares—and, in case of nece3sity, the committee have the power to suspend their payments without fines, or members may at any time withdraw the whole of their subscriptions upon giving twenty-eight days' notice of his intention to do so. The CHAIRMAN said it gave him great pleasure in again meeting the shareholders. They were assembled for the purpose of balloting for the fourteenth time for 40 rights to advances—as usual, 20 of these rights would be taken from the rotation list, and 20 from the ballot division, making, as he had before said, 40 rights. The attendance that evening, if anything was wanting to prove the fact, attested the great reliance that was placed in the directors by the shareholders. As far as tho pur chase of land was concerned, it was not the intention o t the committee, in the present state of affairs, to be too eager, but they thought it would be the wisest and most judi cious course to wait until some of the excitement prevail ing abroad had passed away. Without wishing in the slightest degree to reflect upon ether societies, or with re spect to the purchases that they had made—he hoped they would be able to dispose of the land in the way that they expected, namely, for the benefit of their shareholders. The estate of this society situate at Wimbledon, he was happy to inform them, stood in the highest opinion of the shareholders, and he had great pleasure in telling them that contracts had been entered into to erect, at the top of the bill on this beautiful estate, 10 semi-detached villas, of the value of 2,0001. each. The contract had not merely been entered into, but it had been signed and completed. On the Barnes estate, nine pairs of villas were about to be erected of the value of between 8001. to 9001. each. With regard to the Reading estate, the preliminary survey had been completed, and the surveyors were engaged in mark ing out the plan, and in a few weeks it would be placed in their hands. The committee had had at their last meeting a long debate, and he believed the result of that debate would be that the allotments would come out at such a price as would please everybody. As he had said before, this was not a time to purchase land, and the directors of the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society did not intend to lay their money out at present, and he thought the shareholders would think that they were act ing prudently and for the best interests of the society. Yet it was not the intention of the directors to remain idle and inactive, in proof of which he would mention that a gentle man, afew days ago, had offered them an estate within a few minutes' walk of the Norwood station (so we understood). The directors went and returned, but they found that one half the land was under water, so, as this was a society _ _ for the purchase of land and not water, and as the water had so increased the price of the land, the directors determined to have nothing to do with it. The share holders, he felt sure, would still continue to have the ut most confidence in the exertions of the committee, and en the part of the committee ho assured them that it was not the intention of the directors to let any really eligible estate slip through their fingers. He begged to thank them for the attention they had given him. Before re suming his seat, ho would call upon Mr. W. Cocks, one of finance committee, to address a few observations to them. Mr. W. COCKS, in addressing the meeting, alluded to the great excitement caused every morning by the news from the Baltic and the Black Seas, and also alluded to the extreme caution required by those who were the trustees of others. The members of freehold land societies he said, should go forth as missionaries among their friends and indoctrinate them with the advantages to be received, and do all their power to increase the number of sharehold ers in the society in which they were interested, by so doing, they would increase the importance of the society, and the larger it became, the better it would be for all concerned. Mr. JAMES WEST next addressed the meeting, and after adverting to the difficulty respecting the purchase of land at the present moment, said societies like the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society not only distributed land, but they also offered a secure investment for the savings of the industrious classes a security far greater than any afforded by Savings Banks. As a further inducement, they hold out a far greater amount of interest, with a much better security, for nothing could be so secure as land. The CHAIRMAN said that it would now afford the com mittee great pleasure to answer the questions of any of the gentlemen present. A gentleman in the body of the meeting said it would ' be a source of satisfaction to him, and he doubted not to many others, especially as their proceedings wou ld be laid before the public through the medium of the press, if he would state the amount of capital possessed by the society. The CHAIRMAN said ho had much pleasure in answering the question. Up to this time 3,600 shares had b ans t four estates had been purchased, and lots amounting _to 18,000 had been placed in the hands of the members. The subscribed capital amounted to 108,000 i. If there t w o as ele n c o t further questions ho would call upon the meeting scrutineers, and Messrs. Miller, Potter, and Prattr having been appointed, the drawing commenrceL H.

The select committee appointed to inquire into the circum stances under which Mr. Henry Stonor was appointed to a judgeship in Melbourne, Aust ra li a , a ft er h av i ng been reported by the Sligo election committee to have been guilty of bribery at the election for that borough in 1852, was to have sat yesterday, to enter upon the investigation ; but owing, as was understood, to the unavoidable absence of some of the necessary witnesses, the committee were unable to proceed, and they ad journed until Tuesday next. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY AT BIRMINGHAM.—A very daring robbery of jewellery took place at Birmingham on Saturday. On that day a man, having much the ap pearance of a foreigner, went to the establishment of Messrs. Stockton, jewellers. He stated he wanted to make a selection of goods for Australia ; lie did so, and gave orders to the extent of SOOT. ; but whilst thus engaged he contrived to make over to his own person about three hundred pounds' worth of rings and other valuables : the theft was discovered very soon after the fellow had left, and information given to the police. On inquiry at the hotel where lie had been staying, it was ascertained that he had left town, having informed the hoots, who accompanied him to the railway, that he was going to London. Upon inquiry being made at the station, however, it turned out that a person answering the description given had taken a ticket for Manches ter, to which city the officers telegraphed at once. Ther thief was there captured without delay on th e arrival o the train, he having the jewellery in his possession. Se is now safely lodged in the gaol at Birmingbiga. This insolvent, who had been member of Parliament for Ipswich, and subsequently for Beverley, in Yorkshire, applied to be discharged under the act. Mr. Nichols opposed, on the part of Messrs. Swann and Clough, bankers, at York ; and Mr. Macnamara appeared on the part of Messrs. Hedges and Butler, Italian warehousemen, Regent-street. Mr. Sargood supported the application. The schedule filed by the insolvent contains 175 creditors, and no debtors. The debts from 1840 are 168,803/. 17s. Id., and 'of that sum 36,7491.155. are without consideration. The unsecured debts are about 28,0001. The insolvency is attri buted to Mr. Fox, who is brother-in-law of the Duke of Leeds, having granted annuities upon his life interest, under the will of the late Duke of Leeds, at a rate greater than the ad vances would afford ; to heavy interest and discount ; to the expense of his establishment, and to heavy electioneering expenses. It appears that from 1840 to 1850 the income derived from the life interest under the will mentioned and his marriage settlement was 14,860/. a-year. The property was now heavily charged, Among the items of expenditure is one of 7,000/. on account of two contested elections for Beverley, besides which other expenses were incurred in elections for Ipswieh end Beverley. The interest on money borrowed, and on the dis,:ount of bills of exchange, had been about 1,8001. a•year. In the description the establishment in St. James-square was stated, and it was also set forth that Mr. Fox had been member of Parliament for Ipfiwich and Beverley. A creditor had filed a petition, and the vesting order was issued in June. Mr. Fox had been iu the Queen's Prison since March, 1853. Some inquiry was made respecting the banker's books from Messrs. Dixon of Chancery-lane, and it was stated that they had been mislaid. The insolvent, on his examination by Mr. Nichols, stated that he recollected having from Messrs. Swan 3501. It might have been in 1849, but he thought it was earlier, probably in 1847. Mr. Nichols said he had an affidavit of Mr. Clough, one of the partners, showing that it was in 1849. The Chief Commissioner said the document had better be read, if it was not objected to by Mr. Sargood as inadmissible. Mr. Sargood waived any objection he might take to its be ing read. The affidavit of Mr. Clough stated that they were creditors to 1,5001., and that 3641. was now due. In Jan., 1849, the insolvent asked them for 3501., as he had to pay ito the Bank of England to the credit of one Moss Davies, and he could not draw on his bankers, Messrs. Dixon, as he never did without giving them ten days' notice. The amount was forwarded. and was nowdue to Messrs. Swan. Mr. Clough expressed his belief that the insolvent knew he had no effects, and that the draft would not be honoured. The insolvent furth er s t a t e d, on hi s exam i na ti on , that he had had frequent lived in s t ur ra r n e sac y.s t t i v o e ns ez, wi an th d w tss w rs ha . Swann. Mr. li M ed r a . Moss Da vies lender." He owed the money for advances. He drew on his bankers some time at sight, and some time at three and six disappointed he ethhearidnatnhye peoplefundsw receipt er of money. When he was disa p - months. He supposed the sum was not paid because he was er p w o i t t h e ha t s co w u h ld en n h ot e sa ob tained the 3501. of Messrs. S ien w aisa a h n i n sp . bap O onki n nte t e h rl e s. 3d of February the cheque he gave was presented, and th ere was not hi ng tor meet it. He had anticipated funds as the time. The account with Messrs. Dixon, his bankers, was not closed, as he owed them 7,00/. In 1847, his affairs were complicated, and in 1848 he broke up his establishment, and endeavoured to retrench. The money he had from Masers. Swann to pay Moss Davies was not owing on a gaiabling transaction—not on a " play" debt. The Chief Commissioner observed that Moss Davies was still a creditor on the schedule. Mr. Nichols submitted that the debt of 3501. with Messrs. Swann had been unfairly contracted, and that Mr. Fox knew at the time that there would be no effects to meet his cheque. It was incumbent on the gentleman before before the Court to show that he was justified in giving the cheque, and in the absence of such evidence it was an unfair and improper transaction, as no portion of the money so obtained had been repaid. He would call a witness to show the character of the debt. A clerk to Messrs. Ridsdale and Craddock, the agents to the attorneys for Messrs. Swann, was called. He produced the judgment paper in the action against the insolvent. The judgment was for 1,5801., and 71. 17s. taxed costs. Mr. Sargood, in reply to the complaint of his learned friend, contended that there was no evidence to warrant the remarks made. It was a simple debt transaction, and Mr. Fox had disclosed his circumstances when he asked for the advance ; that was no misstatement. Besides, Messrs. Swann had ob tained a judgment for 1,5001. and upwards, and were now creditors for only 3601. The Chief Commissoner said it was clear that the sum now due was part of a larger amount, and all that was due with costs and interest was 3601., so that it was by no means certain that no portion of the advance complained of had been paid. There must have been efforts made to pay off the debt, as only 3601. was due of 1,5871. He could not say that the deed was one of the character described by Mr. Nichols. Mr. Macnamara proceeded with his oppoSition. The insolvent stated that he dealt, from he believed before 1843 to 1848, with Messrs. Hedges and Butler. They were wine-merchants and Italian warehousmen, in Regent-street. The debt was 6891., and was a balance of account. He must have paid them 2001. or 3001. a year from 1838, but not, he believed, from 1843, when the present debt probably commenced. The insolvent further stated, on his examination, that the debt he now owed Hedges and Butler was for goods in their trade. In June, 1847, he gave them a bill of exchange for 5311., at six mouths. Ho was a member of Parliament from 1843 to 1848. He had been embarrassed in his affairs for some years. He had to raise money, but did not find himself in dif ficulties before 1847. He broke up his establishment in 1848, but he anticipated. money, and still anticipated funds, but his creditors would not give him time, but shut him up in prison. His income was the produce of laud, &c. He had a life in terest, under the will of the late Duke of Leeds. He did not live within his income The fact was, he lived beyond it, and got into debt. That was the source of all his difficulties. He did not know that it would take 90,0001. to pay off all the hieumbrances on the property. There were certain monies which he had raised at 10 and 15 per cent. The last sum he obtained was at 10 per cent., and had it not been for circum stances, he would have been able to pay it. His income was about 15,0001. a year, which, after deductions, left• about 9,3471. The report famished by Messrs. Lewis and Lewis to the creditors was then read. In December last there was a meeting of creditors, and a committee was appointed, who made a report, Mr. Dixon, the banker, being chairman. There was to be an assignment made by Mr. Fox, of all his property, if the judgment credi tors would raleaso his person; but as that was not done, the matter went off, and Mr. Fox was obliged to come to this Court. Some 60 creditors attended, and about 40 sent letters. The report of the committee was read by the registrar of the Court. It set forth that Mr. Fox, under the will of the late Duke of Leeds, is tenant for life of large estates, in cluding a house in St. James's-square, and under his mar riage settlement he hae a life estate in certain funded pro perty, producing together the following income, viz.:— From farm and other properties in the county £12,824 6 9 From the house in St. James's-square B5O 0 0 From the funded property 1,434 12 2 To which it is considered may safely be added for coal royalties the further annual income of .£15,109 5 11 2,000 0 0 L 17,100 5 11 The committee found that the permanent charge on this in come, paramount to the &aims of Mr. Fox and his second credi tors, were— Dowager Duchess of Leeds, now in her 77th year £1,359 3 4 Interest on mortgages created by the late Duke of Leeds 2,981 1 1 163 0 7 255 0 0 1,000 0 0 Rent charges Agent's salary Repairs and sundries __ _ The sum, after June, would by reduced by pay- ing off a mortgage, leaving a permanent an nual charge of 5,180 12 0 The net income payable to Mr. Fox, subject to 11,923 13 11 his incumbrances Three suggestions were made, but they came to nothing, and Mr. Fox applied to the Court. One of the suggestions was (approved of by the creditors) that Mr. Fox, with the co-operation of Mr. Saekville George Fox, his eldest son, and. the next tenant of life under the Duke's will, would raise on their successive life interests a sum of 10,0001., by means of which a composition of 6s. Bd. in the pound would be paid to the unsecured creditors in satisfaction of their claims. A. communication on the subject had been made to Mr. Sack vine George Fox, but no positive reply at the date of the report had been made. Mr. Lewis informed the Court that yesterday a communica tion had been received that Mr. Sackville George Fox would agree to the suggestion, and the creditors would probably be paid the composition. Mr. AfaC asked that the case might be adjourned, in order that the proposition mentioned should be carried out. The Chief Commissioner said that at all events they would go on with the opposition. Mr. Macnamara addressed the court. He appeared for two respectable tradesmen, who were creditors for goods supplied to 6391. The insolvent possessed a very large income—ample enough for every luxury, but it would appear that he had ex hausted it, and then incurred fresh debts. Ho had squan deredtparnodtercet relied on from his privileges as a member it away, and lived o n th e new d e bt s h e wen t on con tdeobftPsawrliitah- m raccutt in t g o , arrest, to incur he impugnity. The insolvent, interrupting, said, " I beg your pardon!' Mr. Macnamara said there could be no doubt he was pro tected from arreet. Ho contended that the insolvent had been guilty of great extravagance, and was not entitled to pass without a judgment for contracting a debt without a reason able or probable expectation of payment. In addition, ho would submit to the court that the case was one for its direr°. tion, in order to check the expenditure of persons in his posi tion, and to protect tradesmen from losing their money, in this case to a considerable extent. Mr. Sargood replied. The Chief Commissioner gave judgment.—On cases of the description now before the court, one might comment on its circumstances for the whole day. It was, no doubt, a very painful subject to see a comfortable property wrecked by ex travagance. The only matter he had to deal with was to say whether after an imprisonment of already 14 months, the ad judication was to be a discharge or a judgment. The court, as the petition was about twelve months old, had no discre tion as they would have had in a fresh case. Only two credi tors had opposed—one had been disposed of. It would be monstrous to visit the insolvent with a judgmentiind as ers w uc as h circumstances. As to the second opposition, the e e simply put before the court as one of extras-t: f ri l l (the Chief Commissioner), after au imprisonmentid he had dealt was asked not to discharge him.

How could he then say it n ot a case for a discharge? There was really no evi dence before him on which he could act otherwise than to p r onounce a discharge. In reply to the Commissioner, M r . Lewis said all sources of income by Mr. Fox had been entirely dried up. At the latter part of the day the insolvent was declared entitled to the benefit of the act, and ordered to be discharged forthwith. lie was accordingly clitycharpd. r`
