LAW INT -This Day, • COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE O'CONNOR,-A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE OP OPINION. _ This bankrupt was described as of Uxbridge Gardene, Bayswater, merchant and broker, and now a prisoner for debt. The application was for release from custody. Mr C. Lewis opposed, and said that this was one of the cases excepted from the 112th section of the Act, as the bankrupt was in custody for damages for malicious arrest, and he put in the proceedings to prove that fact. The Bankrupt —I wish to say— His Honour—l can't hear you. Ido not think you are in your right senses, You have been writing a letter to toe, which is all nonsense. This is a point of law, and I cannot release you. Bankrupt—Well, may I beg to ask you why you think I am not in my right senses ? His Honour—Reading the letter, not knowing who it was from. Bankrupt —My lord, all I can say is, that as to my not being in my right mind, now I have to remark, that during my short acquaintance with you, I am convinced that you have exhibited more symptoms of mental aberration than I have. So saying he stepped down and placed himself in the hands of his custodian, the jailor, and went back to prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, BOW-STREET. George Lewis, a provincial labourer, was placed at the bar before Mr Flower, charged with having two valuable gold seals in his possesion, without being able to give a proper account of them. Mr Samuel Henry Freeman said he was manager of the business of the late Mr Kirkman, pawnbroker, Strand. On Wednesday last the prisoner entered_ the shop and pro ducing two large massive gold seals, requested a loan on them of 30s. Witness examined the seals when he dis covered the royal arms, with the words "Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court, Newfoundland," engraved on one of them, and on the other a crest and initials. He, of course, refused to advance any money on the property, and he asked the prisoner if he knew to whom the seals belonged. Ho replied he did not, as he picked them up that day in Rotten-row, Hyde-park. Witness told bins it was very wrong to attempt to pledge property of that description without at first advertising them and taking every means to discover the owner; and further, that he (witness) should detain the property in order that proper inquiries might be made. He asked prisoner the address which he gave, " No. 7, Stanhope-street," and he afterwards told him to call in again to see if the owner of the property had been discovered. Prisoner called on Thursday, and again last evening, when Sergeant Ackrill happening to be in the shop, the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Flower asked if the address given by the prisoner was a correct one. Inspector Brimbacombe said it was not. He had not discovered the present owner of the property, but he had found out to whom they formerly belonged. Mr. Flower thought the owner might be discovered when the fact of the seals having been offered to pledge be. came known. Inspector Brimbacombe said the seals found belonged to a gentleman named George Washington Bustead, who formerly held the office of chief clerk of the supreme court of Newfoundland, but that ho resigned the office in 1829, and then for several years afterwards was colonial secre tary of one of the West India colonies. He afterwards came to England, and from there he proceeded to New York, where it is supposed he died about 2 years ago. His son, Gan. Richard Bustead was at the present time occu pying a very prominent position in American affairs. Mr Burnaby, the ciet clerk, asked the inspector whether he had reason to suppose the property had been stolen. Inspector Brimbacombe replied that he had. The ad dress given by the prisoner was not correct. I he prisoner adhered to the statement that he had picked the seals up in the park. The magistrate remanded the prisoner for a week in order to give the police further time to make inquiry rela tive to the owner of the property. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAD OCCURRENCE -CAUSING THE DEATH OF A CHILD, —Oliver Sangmead, a tall, middle-aged, respectable look ing man. driver of omnibus 6,755, was charged with caus ing the death of a child named Willful Thomas, eighteen months old, by driving an omnibus over it in the Totten ham-court-road. The evidence showed that on the previous night, about 8 o'clock, while the accused was driving his omnibus up the Tottenham-court-road, a child, named William Thomas, whose parents reside in Fitzroy-court, Fitzroy-market, ran into the road from Warner-street, right in front and not more than three yards from the omnibus, aßcl that befo:e the accused could possibly pull up the omnibus went over the child's head, causing his death. Mr Solomon, employed at Messrs. Moses and Sons, Tot tenham-court-road, and Mr Francis Dixon, residing near the Morning-crescent, gave evidence showing that the child's death was purely accidental, and that the occurrence wag unavoidable. Mr Knox said he could come to no other conclusion than that it was an unavoidable accident, and the only wonder was that there were not more cases of a similar kind con sidering how children run about the streets. He should take the accused's own recognizance to appear that day week. WESTMINSTER. FRIGHTUL POSITON OF A POOR FAMILY.—A middle aged Irishwoman, apparently in great distress of mind, entreated the magistrate's assistance under the following frightful circumstances. Applicant stated that she had been deserted by her hus• band eight years ago, being left with six young children to bring up. She had struggled hard to maintain them, and in order to provide for them in sickness, and to bury them decently in the event of death, she had contributed for the whole of them at the stipulated sutnper week to a bene fit society called the St. Patrick, who now refused, in the time of the greatest effliotion, to render her any assistance. Mr Arnold asked her what she claimed to be entitled to, and the nature of the application? Applicant, bursting into tears, replied it was shocking. Her little family had been attacked with scarlet fever. One of her children died on Thursday, and there was another almost gone. She was unable to remove or bury the one who died on Thursday, and whose body remained in the room with the living. She had applied to the society for the money, but they refused to give her anything, declaring that she had not been entitled to any of the benefits since last March, although she was constantly paying money since then. Mr Arnold asked how she paid her money. Applicant replied to a collector who called, but there had been some differences in the society and a change of collec tors, during which time she and others, not being called upon, fell into some arrears. She was called on on Mon day week, and gave the man her two shillings, at the same time pointing out the condition of the children, and de manding the attendance of the society's doctor which was promised for them, &c. She waited day after day, but he never came, and her children were left to die without medi cal aid. If she was not entitled to any benefits since March, why did they take her money on Monday week and pro mise to send the doctor. If she had fallen into arrears it was not her fault, as no collector had called upon her for five weeks, and when she paid on Monday week she was told she was entitled to all the benefits. On looking at the books produced by applicant, and on questioning her, the magistrate found the society was held in the Clerkenwell district, whither ho sent her, compas sionating her condition, with a note to the magistrate. THAMES. A VIOLENT WOMAN.—Jane Smith, a woman about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with assaulting and wounding Catherine Radford. The complainant, a respectable woman, stated that the prisoner:was quarrelling with a man she called her husband, and throwing jugs, pots, and other things at him. She did all she could to persuade the woman to go indoors. The prisoner refused and exposed herself in a vary shocking manner. She threw herself on the prisoner and took her indoors. The prisoner immediately took up an iron sauce pan and struck her on the forehead with it. The prisoner said the complainant and a witness she called were drinking and dancing with her husband, and when she remonstrated they struck her and marked her face and hands. A police constable said that ho thought all the women were drinking heavily in Sun-court, St. George in the East, yesterday. Inspector Allison, of the R division, said there were marks on the prisoner's person. She had been struck. Mr. Paget thought both parties were equally to blame, and discharged the prisoner. THE PAWNBROKER'S Eor.—George Andrew Judge, a respectable-looking boy, aged 14, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing various articles the property of Mr. William James Rawlins, a pawnbroker, of No. 60, G ranby- sti eet, Poplar. The prisoner was on tried for a month, and had began to plunder almost immediately ho entered the service of the prosecutor. He was given into custody, and a pair of braces he was wearieg and a portemonnai in his pockets were taken from him. Two silk handkerchiefs were found in the cellar, The prisoner admitted he had concealed them there. The prisoner was the son of a ship chandler. His brothers were in the pawnbroking line. Mr Paget remanded the prisoner. The mother of the prisoner said it would be a disgrace to the lad and his parents to send him to prison. Mr Paget—l cannot help it ;he is charged with theft and must go to prison. The eminent geologist, Sir Charles Lyel', hiE been made a baronet. His title will henceforth be Sir Charles Lyell, Baronet, of Kirmordy, in the county of Forfar. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Aug. 6.—Wind this day at noon—South- West; moderate breeze and fine weather.

Smith has a sensation in store for the patrons of Astley's, in the parson of Miss Adah Isaacs Meuthen, an American actress and equestrienne of distinction, who is engaged to play Mazeppa, which she does without a "double" (as it is called in theatrical par. lance), dashing up rocks, lashed to a horse, and executing a variety of bold feats not even attempted by male repre sentatives of the part. Great preparations are on foot to make " Mazeppa" a theatrical success.—Orchestra, A STATUE TO THE CELEBRATED FRENCH PAINTER GREUZS, the favourite of Marie Antoinette, is to be erected at his birthplace, Tournois, in Bourgogne.

THE STATE OF THE THAMES. Mr ROCHE asked it the engineer had power to deodorise the Thames, if ccoasion should arise, while the members of the board were on their holidays. At the present time the river did not appear in par ticularly good odour, and it might be necessary for something to be clone before the board re assembled. The CHAIRMAN said that the engineer might take all the steps he considered necessary while the board were away. The river doubtless suffered through the great heat and the low rainfall; but as a large quantity of the sewage was now diverted, the inconvenience arising had been very slight com pared with what it was formerly. The engineer stated that the amount of sewage now diverted would be further increased during the month by the completion of the middle level sewer, which it was already, with the exception of the aqueduct over the Metropolitan Railway.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, RAILWAY RETURN, It appears from a return just issued by the Board of Trade that the total receipts on railways in England and Wales for the year 1863 amounted, on 8,568 miles of rail way, to £26,212,8.2, including £12,262,116 for passenger traffic, and £13,950,406 for goods traffic. The total receipts on the Scotch railways, 2,013 miles in length, amounted to £3,424.921, including £1,316,833 for passengers, and £2,108,088 for goods. The total receipts on the Irish rail ways amounted, on 1,741 miles, to £1,518,654, including £912,279 for passengers and £576,375 for goods, The total aggregate traffic receipts on 12.322 miles of railway in the United Kingdom for the year 1863 amounted to £31,156,397, and for 1862, on 11,5 it miles of railway, to £22,128,558, showing an increase of 771 miles and of £2,027,839 in the receipts, of which £1,418,296 was for goods traffic, ana £609,543 for passenger traffic, The total number of passen gers conveyed on lines in the United Kingdom curin g the year 1863 was 204,635,075, against 180,429,071 in the year 1862, showing an increase of 24,206,004 of passengers. The total number of first•class passengers conveyed was 26,086,008, against 23,105,351 in 1862, showing an increase of 2,930,657. The total number of second class passengers conveyed was 57,476,669, against 51,869,239 in 1862, show ing an increase of 5,607,430. The total number of third class, including parliamentary passengers, was 121,072,398, against 105,451,481, in 1862, showing an increase of 15,621,917. {The total receipts from first class passengers amounted to £3,368,676, against £3,332,380 in 1862, showing an increase of £36,296. The total receipts from second class passengers amounted to L 1,201,105, against £ 1 ,018,221 in 1862, showing an increase of £182,884. The total receipts from third class passengers and parliamentarians amounted to £4,933,073, against £4,639,250 in 1862, showing an increase of £2.93,823. Considering the great obstruction to the accommodation of third class passengers by most of the railway companies, the large increase in the receipts is very much more than could have been expected. The total working expenses amounted to £15,027,234, or 48 per cent, in 1863, and to £14,268,40 9 , or 49 per cent, in 1 862, showing an increase of £758,825, leaving 'he net receipt s £16,048,931 for 1863, aga i ns t £14,82 0,691 in 1862, showing an increase of £1,228,240 in the amount available for interest and divi dends on the capital expended, The total amount paid up on shares and loans to the end 01 1863 was £104,215,802, the total amount authorised being £474,999,545.

Some explanations were given as to a question in dispute between the Thames Conservators and the contractors carrying out the embankment. The Act makes it imperative that the part of the embank ment behind the wall shall be filled with materal dredged from the bed of the Thames, and which material the conservators were to supply at n given cost. The conservators complained that the con tractors were not taking the dredged material, and the contractors replied that they had been supplied with the worst material by the conservators, who sold the best part to builders, and as a portion of the material supplied ran off into the Thames, a great additional expense had been entailed upon them. It had been determined not to take any more filling in material until the front wall of the river embank- went was so far completed as to prevent this loss. The Board, on its rising, adjourned for a month, The Military Strength of the United States, (From the New York World.) By the census of 1860, it appears that the total population of the United States at that time was 31,148,000, of which the white population numbered 26,957,000. Of this aggregate, the Free States had within their boundaries 17,224,400—the Slave States 9,036,000. Bat Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, and that portion of Virginia now known as West Virginia, have been and are ranked with the non-slaveholding states in loyalty to the Federal Government. - Their population was 2,539,380. Out a ; this number, however, a certain proportion aro active sympathisers with the rebellion, and have furnished a large quota towards the support of the rebel armies. Probably the number may be stated at 500,000—leaving, in round numbers, 2,000,000 who may be represented in the armies of the Union. This number, deducted from the popula tion of the Slave States, will give ;7,036,000 as (practi cally) the total number from which the rebellion could recruit its armies—while a corresponding addition to the population of the Free States swelled it to nearly 20,000,000. But to this number must be added the free blacks of the North, the slaves who have come under the control of the United States Government, and the number of loyal Southerners who have established their adhesion to that Government since the war began—in all about I,ooo,ooo—making the aggregate loyal population 21,000,000. According to the proportion shown in the census tables of 1860, of this population the number of males between the ages of 18 and 45 would be about 5,000,000. As the census returns of 1860 show that the total number of males in the 'United States at that time, between the above-mentioned ages, was 5,624,065, this esti mate would give to the States in revolt between 600,000 and 700,000 males capable of bearing arms. In his report made on December 1, 1861, Secretary Came ron stated that 77,875 men were raised during that year, under the first call of the President. These were " three months men," The number of men at the date of his re port, enlisted for three years, was 660,971. So overwhelm ing was the response to the call for men at that time, that the Secretary stated he had no doubt the national forces could have been swollen to a million of men had not the department felt constrained to restrict volunteer ing, July 1, 1862, immediately after the retreat from the peninsula, the President issued a call for 300,000 more volunteers. This force was chiefly :nfantry, in pursuance of a recommendation of the President. On August 4, of the same year, the President called to the field 300,000 militia, to serve for nine months, This number was promptly furnished. June 15, 1863, the President sum moned from certain States militia to the number of 100,000. this number was afterwards increased to 120,000. During the month of July a draft for 300,000 men was enforced. There is no public means of learning the number of men yielded by this conscription. Since October 17 last (at which time a call for 300,000 men was made) under all he calls, about 700,000 men, exclusive of negro soldiers and " one hundred days' men," have been put into the field. Thus it is easy to arrive at the total number of men called out since the outbreak of the rebellion. It is given concisely in the following table : Number of Men Summoned to the Field. Under President's first call, April 19, 1861 77,875 Volunteers for the war, 1861 Under President's call of July 1, 1862 Militia called out in August, 1862 300,000 Militia called out in June, 1863, 120,000 By conscription, July, 1863, say Since October 17, 1863 Total - 2,408,846 Deduct militia and three months' men Balance 1,910,961 Thus it is seen that the enormous number of one million nine hundred and ten thousand nine hundred and sixty-one men have been placed in the field, exclusive of the tempo rarily-serving militia, of the black soldiers, and of the hun dred days' men who recently offered their services.

Leamington and Warwickshire Hunt• 22 " LIVES" OF BANK NOTES.—The average period which each denomination of London notes remains in circulation has been ealculated, and is shown by the fol lowing authentic account of the num berof days a bank-note issued in London remains in circulation :—£s noet, 72.7 days; £lO, 77.0; £2O, 67.4; £3O, 18.9; £4O, 13,7; £5O, 38.8; £lOO, 28.4; £2OO, 12.7; £3OO, 10.6; £5OO, 11.8; £l,OOO, 11.1. The exceptions to these averages are few, and therefore remarkable. The time during which some notes remain unpresented is reckoned by the cen tury, On the 27th of September, 1846, a £5O note was presented, bearing date 20th of January, 1743. Another, for £lO, issued on the 12th of November, 1762, was not paid till the 28th April, 1845. There is a legend extant of the eccentric possessor of a £l,OOO note, who kept it framed and glazed for a series of years, pre ferring to feast his eyes upon it, to putting the amount. it represented out at interest, It was converted into gold, however, without a day's loss of time, by his heirs on his demise—a fact whi c h can ver y eas ily be credited. Stolen and lost notes are generally long absentees. The former usually make their appearance soon after a great horse race or other sporting event, altered or disguised so as to de ceive bankers, to whom the bank furnishes a list of the numbers and dates of all stolen notes. Bank notes have been known to light pipes, to wrap up snuff, and to be used as curl papers ; and British tars, mad with rum and prize money, have not unfrequently, in the time of war, made :sandwiches of them, and eat them between bread and butter. Carelessness gives the bank enormous profits, against which the loss of a mere £30,000 note is but a trifle. In the 40 years between 1792 and 1832, there were outstanding notes of the Bank of England—presumed to have been lost or destroyed —amounting to £1,330,000 odd, every shilling of which was clear profit to the bank. — Cyclopedia of Commercial .41neclotes, THMD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK.
