Everywhere there is steadiness of demand and absence of excitement, with an ample, though perhaps not quite so superabundant a supply of cash, and the auspi cious weather, despite Otaheite bile, Morocco froth, Spanish &Anvil°, and Ministerial vaunting, puts all classes interested in commerce in good spirits, so powerful is felt to be the influence in this country for good or evil, of a rich or deficient harvest. Trifling as to many the circumstance may appear, we are told that the aggregate amount of money taken out of the country by absenteeism, whether of the more opulent or middling class of our coun trymen periodically visiting the Continent about this time of year, is very considerable —startling in fact—and the loss which under the present system of currency must be incurred on the exchanges by the remittance of it to the annuitants, besides the total abstraction of the sums spent, may be easily conceived. Mr. Vigo's tables , i llustratin g the 1 intrinsic value of our and all foreign coins, the most accurate and complete, perhaps, ever framed, will go far to aid in the appreciation of this fact.

In evidence, it appeared that, on Tuesday morning last, deceased, with. his wite, quitted his residence in Windsor, for the purpose of coming to London to get work. In the Bath-road, near the Magpie public-house, they *overtook a waggon, the driver of which gave them a lift as far as he was going. The woman got on the top of the waggon, and her husband sat on the shafts ; but he had net ridden far before he fell into the road, and was seriously injured by the wheels. He said, when removed to the hospital; that he did not know what caused him to fall, but he recollected trying to escape by rolling his body away. He died in two days. The acci dent happened at three o'clock, and he was not admitted to the hospital until eight o'clock. He was thus five hours without medical assistance, and the jury expressed much surprise that he had not been instantly carried to a surgeon in the neighbourhood. Verdict—" Accidental death." THE EIGHT OF CORONERS' JURIES TO INSPECT BODIES.—At an inquest held yesterday before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, one of the jurors inquired if they were permitted to have inspection of the body, in order really to ascertain if ;here were any marks of violence upon it, which lie understood to be the meaning of "viewing" the body, ac cording to the Act of Parliament; or were they, as was too often the case in gentlemen's houses, just to look into the room where the corpse was? He was induced to ask this question because he had often been on juries, and there gene.. rally appeared a desire to prevent the proper examination. The Coroner observed, that it was the tindoubted.right of the jury to make what they considered a proper inspection, in order that they might be ablo to judge of the weight of the evidence afterwards laid before them, and to put such ques tions fie any appearance suggested to them. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWkY. On Friday the FroprittOrs of the London and Birmingham Railway held their general meeting at the station, Euston square, for the purpose of receiving the report, and the trans action of business for the last half-year, The meeting was most numerously attended, it being generally known that a piece of plate and a purse of money were to be presented by the Proprietors to Mr. Richard Creed, the Secretary to the Company. George Carr, Esq., the Chairman, in opening tilt business of the day, said that the affairs of tlit tiompany were in a most prosperous condition, and that the various branches of the lint frotii the present trunk were rapidly ap proaching to completion. The report was read, from which it appears that the balance in hand on the 31st of' December last was 333,904/. 14s. 5d., and the cash received from that time up to the 30th of June last was 750,674/. 4s. Id., making in the whole 1,134,578/. 18s. Gd., of which sum 468,373/. 16s. sd. had been expended on the London and Birmingham line, 22,1241. 13s. I Id. on the Warwick and Leamington branch, 147,854/. 3s. 9d. on--the Northa mpton an d Peterborough branch, 100,000/, on the Chester and Holyhead Railway— making a total expenditure for the six months last past of 722,3921. 145., and leaving a balance to be divided among the Proprietors of 405,226/. 48. 5d., on which a dividend of five per cent. was immediately declared, leaving 15,000/. as balance in hand. An important part of the day's proceedings was the presentation of a splendid piece of plate, in the shape of a candelabrum, and two large dishes, all of solid silver, value 300/., in addition to a purse of 2,100 guineas, to the secretary for his services. Colonel Alcock, as Chairman of the Committee appointed by the Proprietors to manage the subscription list, presented the plate to Mr. Creed, accompanied with a high eulogium, upon which Mr. Creed replied in a very feeling manner for the high compliment paid him by his employers. The candela brum excited the admiration of every person present, being executed in the highest style of art, and representing Peace, Plenty, and Britannia at the base, in addition to a view of the Euston-square station. On the different pieces of plate are engraved the arms of the Company, and of Mr. Creed, with the following inscription engraved on each :—" Pre sented to Richard Creed, Esq., together with a purse of 2,100 guineas, being the voluntary contributions of nine hundred Proprietors of the London and Birmingham Company, in ac cordance with a resolution passed unanimously, - at a general meeting held on the 9th of February, 1844, as a testimonial of their high appreciation of the indefatigable zeal and dis tinguished ability manifested by him for fourteen years, in promoting, under the auspices of the Court of Directors, the general interest and prospects of the Company, of their esteem and respect for his private character, and an evidence of the manner in which they appreciated his courteous and gentle manly demeanour upon all occasions." LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL- WAY. The half-yearly general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held on Friday, at the terminus, London bridge, William Nash, Esq., Deputy-Chalrman, , in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the Directors' report for the half rear, and also a statement of the accounts of the Company. The meeting was also made special, for the purpose of decid ing the means of raising the money for constructing the rail way from Brighton to Chichester, and from Brighton to Lewes and Hastings. The report stated that the receipts for ordinary traffic during the half-year ending the 30th of June, as compared with the corresponding period of 1843, showed an increase of 10,118/., while the expenses of working the line (exclusive of toll and rates and taxes, as contrasted with the same period) exhibited a decrease of 1,8801., the result of the whole account being an increase on the balance of net revenue of 10,2151. The agreement which had been entered into with the Greenwich Company, by which that Company were to receive a fixed sum in lieu of toll, having terminated on the 30th June last, the Directors had entered into a fresh arrangement, by which the Brighton Company would in future pay for the first-class passengers 4d., second class 3d., and third-class 2d., so long as the whole Brighton passenger traffic to and from London should pass over the Greenwich line. The Directors had given unceasing atten tion to the necessity of improving the communication with France, a subject on which their powers were very limited. After several interviews with the General Steam Navigation Company, some improvements had al ready been affected, and the Directors were enabled to state that for the month of August the departure of steamers from Brighton to Dieppe had been increased to six in the week. If either of the projected railways from Dieppe to Rouen should be executed, the advantages of improving the sea passage would be still more important to the interests of this. Company. The report having been adopted, the follow ing resolution was agreed to :—That the London and Brighton Railway Company be authorised by the Proprietors, present at this general meeting, to purchase an interest in the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway Company, to an extent not exceeding 3,500 shares, and in the Brighton and Chichester Railway Company, to an extent riot exceeding 1,195 shares. That in, order to complete these purchases the Brighton Railway Company be authorised to raise by the creation of new shares in eighths, at 6/. ss. each, a sum not exceeding 234,7501. That such shares be offered to the pre sent Proprietors of the London and Brighton Railway Com pany in the proportion of one-eighth share for every original share registered in the books of the Company. That the time for taking up such shares by the Proprietors be limited to the Ist of September. That 2/. shell be paid on each such eighth share, and that each share should bear in terest at the rate of five per cent. A dividend of 1/ 2s. 6d. per share was then declared, and Mr. Cooper having been elected a Director of the Company in the room of Mr. Parsons, who had retired, the thanks of the Shareholders were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated. THE COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. The following is a copy of the petition of the medical officers of the Horse and Foot Guards which was lately pre sented to the House of Commons : TO THE 110 N. TIIE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE- LAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED.

The rest of the inclosure is in a very high state of cultivation. —Doncaster Gaz!tte. ACCIDENT ON THE ARTIFICIAL ICE.—O H Friday evening last an accident, attended by serious consequences, occurred upon the sheet of artificial ice at the Mechanics' Institution. As Mr. S. Campbell, of the Albion News-room and Temperance Hotel, Great Charlotte-street, was pro ceeding down the glacier, or inclined plane, he came in con tact with the projections representing rocks. His right foot was jammed in between two of them, and, as he was passing along at a rapid rate, the sudden jerk caused his body to turn-quickly round, and, broke his leg a little above the ankle. He was instantly conveyed home, where the neces sary medical assistance was obtained. Fran inquiries yes. teiday morning, we learn that Mr. C. is doing we11...44v er pool Tim,. COURT OF ALDERMEN. HER MAJESTT. Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of con sidering an address to her Majesty on the birth of a Prince. Although the season of the year was parti cularly unfavourable to the assembling of the mem bers of the Corporation, the Lord Mayor had not been in the chair four minutes when it was an nounced that a Court was made. _ _ Strangers having been ordered to withdraw, Alder man BROWN moved, we were given to understand, after a few words expressive of the high gratification the Court felt at the happy event which more fully secured the hope of a long succession to the present Royal Family, that a humble and dutiful address be presented to her Majesty on the subject.—(Cheers.) Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion, which was carried amidst acclamations. An address was then drawn np and unanimously agreed to. The Court was then opened. A SERIOUS NUISANCE. The inquest jury of Aldersgate-ward made a formal presentment of a whalebone manufactory kept at No. 69, Aldersgate, by. a Mr. Westall. The pre sentment described the nuisance* as altogether odious and intolerable. Mr. GODSON (the Deputy of the ward) addressed the Court upon the subject. He believed the laxity which had marked the conduct of the authorities in regard to Puddle-dock, and other dreadfully offensive sinks of the City, was occasioning a total disregard, as it would appear, of the health and comfort of the inhabitants of the City elsewhere. He was so unfor tunate as to live next door to the whalebone manu factory which excited so much disgust, and the neigh bours actually thought that he fancied and he favoured the offence, as he was not for ever crying out against it.----cA laugh.) He had witnessed the meat markets in their worst condition, but the stench of the worst of them, at the worst of seasons, was nething compared - with the stench arising from the working of the whalebone. To the vaults of a crowded churchyard alone could he compare it, and he assured the Court that in that description there was no exaggeration. He referred, if any proof be yond that afforded by passers-by appeared to be ne cessary, to the fact, that the house adjoining the ma nufactory, although spacious and commodious, was empty, and to defy any man to introduce his family to the vicinity of such an abomination. It happened that this business was extremely lucrative, the last resident having retired, after having, in a few years, realised 100,0001. by stinking the ward, so that un less the Court would use its powerful authority , to cause the removal or abatement of the nuisance, there would it remain, a perpetual source of annoyance. , The RECORDER intimated that the best course would be to indict the manufactory as a nuisance. That the parish could do. Sir P. LAURIE (the Alderman of the ward) said he did not wish to interfere in any matter of the kind, except the occasion seemed to him to be very pressing. He certainly had heard of the offensive nature of the nuisance alluded to, and he believed it would not be easy to find in the whole list of villainous smells any compound producing a more intolerable effluvia. The RECORDER asked whether it could be proved that the stench was prejudicial to health ? Mr. GODSON replied that he could prove that it occasioned sickness of the stomach. He suggested to the Court the propitety of referring the question to a Committee. Alderman MUSGROVE said that if the subject were referred to a Committee expectations might be raised which it would be impossible to satisfy, and others might come to that Court to seek the abatement of other nuisances which ought to be met by indict ments by the parochial authorities. The REcoRDER advised the jury by all means to prosecute by indictment. The presentment was then recorded, and ordered to lie upon the table. The Court, without proceeding to any further bu siness, adjourned. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. THE BIRTH or A PRINCE. A Court of Common Council was held immediately after the adjournment of the Court of Aldermen, for the purpose of addressing her Majesty upon the birth of a Prince. The LORD MATS rose and said he felt it to be his duty to call a Court, in consequence of a communica tion he had received from Sir James Graham, an nouncing the birth of another Prince.—(Cheers.) He had, he said, not hesitated to convene the members, not doubting that it was their anxious wish to address her Majesty upon the happy event.—(Loud cheers.) His Lordship also stated to the Court that the Court of Aldermen had just agreed unanimously to an address to her Majesty upon the same subject. The LORD MAYOR then called upon Mr. Sheriff Moon to move upon the subject. Sheriff Moor said he felt most grateful to the Lord Mayor for having called upon him on such an occa sion to submit a motion expressive of the loyal feel ings and affections of the Corporation. There was nothing calculated to cause more general gratification to the citizens of London then the happy event which he was called upon to commemorate by a motion, testifying to the since rity with which the Court contemplated the interest ing addition to the Royal Family, constituting, as it did, greater security to the male succession, and an increase of her Majesty's domestic felicity.—(Loud cheers.) He had no doubt that such an address would be produced as would be most acceptable to her Majesty, and he concluded by moving that a loyal and dutiful address be present to her Most Gracious Majesty, congratulating her upon the auspicious event of the birth of another Prince. Mr. J. DIXON (of Langbourn ward) seconded the motion with great pleasure, and said that pleasure, he lciew, would be participated in by every member of the Court. It was a most gratifying circumstance that the event upon which they were about to con gratulate her Majesty was doubly grateful to her sub jects, in establishing more firmly the succession, and administering to her conjugal and maternal com fort and happiness.—(Cheers.) It was to be rejoiced at that the Queen had given birth to another boy, be cause that event supplied greater security to the suc cession. He hoped that her Majesty would long con tinue to govern her affectionate people in happiness and prosperity ; but, although he trusted the day was very remote when she should exchange the crown she wore here for another crown, it was by no means dis pleasing to contemplate the probability that her son should inherit her earthly dignities.—(Cheers.) The Court then unanimously agreed to address her Majesty ; and upon the motion of Mr. Sheriff Moon, seconded by Mr. John Dixon, a Committee was appointed to draw up an address. The Court was cleared of strangers, and after some little delay in a separate apartment, the Committee returned, and Alderman T.Woon brought up the address, which we were given to understand was precisely similar to that just voted by the Court of Aldermen. The address was unanimously agreed to, and the Sheriffs were requested to wait upon her Majesty to ascertain when it would be convenient to her to re ceive it. The whole Court were appointed to go up to the Queen with the address upon the motion of Alder man T. Wood, seconded by Mr. Stacey. THE OPENING OF THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. Under-Sheriff ANDERTON said he was desirous to receive an answer to a question which, as his days as Under-Sheriff, and Alderman Musgrove's days as Sheriff, were numbered, was becoming one of much anxiety and interest. It had been intimated to him from several quarters, that for some reason or other the new Royal Exchange was not to be opened before the conclusion of the present shrievalty.—(Hear, hear.) Seeing the Chairman of the Joint-Committee (Mr. R. L. Jones) in Court, he should be glad to hear whether or not the building was to be opened before the 29th of September ?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. L. JONES said that from all the information he had been able to obtain, there was every proba bility that the Royal Exchange would be opened be fore the end of the month of September.—(Hear, hear.) He was not aware that anything was likely to prevent it.—(Cheers.) THE BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE_PIER. Mr. lltc;s (the Chairman of the Navigation Com mittee) begged the attention of the Court for a mo ment. Upon the paper of business it was inserted that the Court was to receive a report in refe rence to a place for a pier at Blackfriars bridge. In consequence of the sudden calling of the Court that motion had got upon the paper, but the Committee could not bring up their report upon that important subject until they were supplied with Mr. Walker's estimate of the cost of the pier, which esti mate would be ready early in the ensuing week. — (Hear, hear.) In the Committee there existed not the slightest difference of opinion on the subject of the erection of a pier, and they wished to have it completed as soon as possible, to secure the public from the chance of danger, such as had lately been encountered.—(Hear, hear.) He addressed the Court on the subject, in order that there might be no pre tence for saying that the Committee were going to sleep on the subject.—(Bear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON asked whether Mr. Walker was the only person from whom a plan was to be received, or whether there was to be public competition ? lle thought it was the intention to have a series of plans, in order that all men of merit in the profession might have a chance. Mr. R. L. JONES said lie hoped the Committee would not fail to take into consideration the contem plated embankment of the Tnames by the Government, and the injunction already against tho Corporation, before they recommended the erection of a pier, which after an enormous expense might he rendered useless. What had been the conduct of Mr. Cubitt, who had -exteusive property in the boats on the banks a the Theimes ? That gentleman's solicitor had ad vised him not to proceed with the works he contem plated on account of the Government project; and would the Corporation be justified in incurring an expense of 9,0001. and 10,0001., pending the plan of embankment and the question of their privileges in the soil of the river ?—(Hear, hear.) He agreed with Mr. Anderton as to the necessity of having competi tion. He contended that to go hastily to work in so complicated and confused a matter would be highly reprehensible, and that if policemen had been sta tioned on the pier at Blackfriars-bridge nothing of the kind would have occurred. He concluded by deprecating a headlong rush into expense. Mr. HICKS said that, the Committee having ma turely considered the question, thought the safest course would be to apply to Mr. \\Talker, on whose skill and ability they had great reliance, and show him the plans. They had acted accordingly, and they decided that he should furnish a plan of a pin, and that it should be left to competition to furnish that pier.—(Hear, hear.) As to the objection of the em bankment, it was not supposed that that project would be at all likely to interfere with the positive neces sity which existed for the speedy erection of a substan tial pier. He did not like to hear the Corporation taxed with supineness on such an occasion. After the earnest expressions used in the Court a few days ago, he was convinced they ought to do all they could to give adequate protection to the public. Mr. BURN said it seemed to have been admitted on on all sides that something should be done to relieve the minds of the public from apprehensions such as those which had been so lately excited. Now, he thought the Court would act wisely in entrusting to the Lord Mayor the power of carrying into effect the plan of which the Committee approved. There would, if such course were adopted, be the most unquestionable certainty of speedy execution.—(Hear, hear.) Such a course would be quickly followed by improvements in other piers. He wished to know whether the Court was in a situation to delegate such a power to the Lord Mayor ? Mr. IL L. JONES said the Court had not any authority to vest such a power in his Lordship. Mr. limeuisoN said the object they all wished to accomplish was to give to the public safe means of embarking and disembarking, and at the last Court a list of most salutary regulations had been read, from which it appeared that no pier could be used without having been first examined by the Clerk of the Works and sanctioned by the Lord Mayor. Now, he con sidered that such regulations were security enough. lie, therefore, thought it would be injudicious to proceed with any great haste. As it was intimated that there was no question efore the Court, an adjournment was agreed to. We understand that the subject will come on for discussion again before the Court breaks up for the holidays. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 9. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) LORD IWNTINGTOWER'S INSOLVENCY. This day was fixed for the application of William Felix Lionel Tollemaehe, commonly called Lord Huntingtower, for his final order. His Lordship was supported by Mr. E. James, and the application was resisted upon the part of a Mr. E. ➢iynes Cooke, now a prisoner for debt in the Court of Queen's Bench, and also by a Mr. Davis, of St. Mary Axe, wholesale furrier. The whole of the debts contracted by his Lordship since his bankruptcy, about two years since, excepting renewals, amounted to 1,8001., and the only assistance which he had received from his family and friends in the course of that period was about 316/. Lord Huntingtower, in examination by the Learned Counsel for Mr. Cooke, said, I was a bankrupt in 1842, as a horse dealer, and bought and sold horses since, perhaps half a dozen, but upon which I realised no profit. My debts and liabilities under my bankruptcy were stated at 228,000/. in round numbers. A great portion of my then debts was re newed, and amongst them one to Mr. Sherborne for 20,000/. I granted these renewals at the latter end of 1842, or in the beginning of 1843; it was during the bank ruptcy, and I was obliged to do so. In my late bankruptcy 1 was subjected to great opposition, and requiring money to defend myself, Mr. Shereborne advanced me 2001. I renewed my debt of 300/. to Mr. Ford after I came out of the Queen's prison, in May, 1843, but I received Nothing from him %r that renewal. I have received several sums of money from that gentleman, for the recovery of which he assured me that he would not persecute me, and I had these sums re- spectively at five per cent. interest. I must add, that if I bad originally acted upon Mr. Ford's advice, I would not ' have been placed in my present unfortunate position. Pres cott told me that he only received 301. from Cooke for the bill of 300/. I had not given the bill to Mr. Rose, and can not say whether he owed Cooke a considerable sum of money or not; but I myself told Cooke that he had only given 30/. for it, and he did not deny it. I saw Cooke in the Queen's Bench prison, but used no threat to dissuade him from this opposition. Captain Cauty, who was also in the same prison, asked me what money I would give him to " square" Cooke's opposition, when I said that I had none. I had 15/. advanced upon the pictures of the Rajahs, by John Mynes Cooke, which Rose pawned with him for me, and I swear that I only intended them to be left with him as a pledge. Do you know Lord Wm. Paget ?—I do. Have you not bad large money or bill transactions with him ?—Yes, before I came of age to a large sum, but not since my bankruptcy. Have you not been in the habit of selling your acceptances for any terms which you could get, for them, through Mr. raffia( Leith Hay ?—No, I have not. He told MO that if I gave him bills for 2,0001., and left the arrangement to I his own " discretion," that he would bring me the money for them. Would not your Lortiship have been satisfied to give your bill for 5001., if you could get 20/. or 30/. for it ?—I never said so • and I believe that those bills for the 2,0004 you have referred to could be obtained from the holder (Mr. Lawrence) for 401. or 50/. Since my bankruptcy I received about 3161. from my family and friends, and my bond fide debts and liabilities are about 1,800/. I have now no property to give up to my creditors, but I have, as I have all along had, con siderable expectations. By Mr. JAMES—The Prescott I have spoken of passes u Capt. Prescott and Cooke, whom I believe to have been in no business, was called a gentleman, and having chambers with Mr. Jocelyn Cooke, at No. 15, Clifford-street. I believe, that altogether, since your bankruptcy, your Lordship has received but the 316/. from your family ?—That is so. And from your father, although I am sorry to introduce his name, I believe you have received no assistance ?—My father never gave me a farthing. He frequently called upon me in the Queen's Bench prison, when he occasionally remonstrated with me. I asked him to give me a small allowance in order to enable me to leave the scene of my past follies. I told him I would be satisfied with 500/. a year ; and if he wished that I would for some time reside abroad, but all was in vain, and he would not give me a sixpence. Since I was fifteen years of age I never received anything from him, not even for my education; but I believe. that his refusal to do anything for me is the result of the unhappy differences between him and my mother, who has done all that her very limited means would enable her to do. My mother's family have paid large sums for me during my bank ruptcy, to the amount of several thousands, as no less than from 80 to 100 witnesses liad (were) to be examined during its progress. The 316/. came from my mother (Lady Dysart), who had net the means of supporting me, and I na turally did not wish to be a charge upon her verylimited income. The goods which Ireceived from several of my creditors were very much over-valued by them, and since my bankruptcy I have resided with my mother and my grandmother at Bath, and different other places. My mother's brother (Mr. Toone, as we understood) behaved most munificently to me, and he paid through Mr. Ellerby, in this Court and the Court of Review, no less a sum than 7,000/. I never had more than two horses at any or.e time since my bankruptcy, and these 1 had to give up, in the expectation that my family would do something for me, but they did not, and hence I have parted with the horses. I expected that Mr. Ford would have obtained such an advance of money for me, as would have enabled me to live quietly in the country, but ultimately he was not able to effect it. I defended Cooke's action upon the bill against me for want of consideration, and since my bank ruptcy I was only afraid of execution being issued against me at his suit. At a former hearing I was only out of the way because there was an extent against me for post-horse duty, and not through any disrespect to my creditors or the Court. Mr. Davis examined by Mr. Jnairs—l am a furrier at St. Mary-Axe. and in the wholesale trade. had the pic tures of the Eastern Rajas, and sold them to Lord Hunting tower for 4001. They are miniature portraits of twelve Indian chiefs—(A laugh)—and the like of which are not to be seen in this country; they were in fact the representatives of the twelve tribes—(Great laughter)—of Indian chiefs painted by an Italian artist. Now, pray Mr. Davis, where did you get the pictures of these twelve tribes ?—I decline to answer. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—YOII must answer the question. Where did you get them ? Mr. Davis-1 decline to answer that question. Mr. JAMES—WeII, Mr. Davis, if you decline to answer the question, we can trace their pedigree—(Great laughter)—and show you that they were only worth 225. a piece. Mr. Commissioner FoNntAxQuE—As you refuse to answer the question, Mr. Davis, your opposition is dismissed. The Learned Counsel, who opposed for Mr. Cooke, very strenuously urged that the insolvent should not obtain his final order, upon the grounds of the recklessness of his con duct, and his wanton renewal of debts to the amount of 46,0001., without any probable means of his ever being able to pay them. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said that he was not at present in a position to give judgment in this case, as in the course of this very day, perhaps, the new Act relating to in solvent debtors would receive the Royal Assent, and so be come the law of the land. The case was adjourned to the 20th of November. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 9. IN RE DAVID ILEMPTON--THE INSOLVENT Drirrons' BILL. n inggulatrhaintsitnaninceanoyf the operation of This tlie acbaosyeeaffAorcdt,edsha singular cases in which insolvent s act mest fraudulently and even inhumanly, the Court is compelled to pass them over and_ resort to others where re in th o t r i d r e c r o i n h d a u t c t t he is y f m ar ay les n s u c t r . ltn l i o i l i l a y l to inflict punishment, escape. The-insolvent was described in his schedule as a coal merchant, and from th e evidence of a lar g e number of witnesses, it appeared had been guilty of the2grossest fraud in obtaining goods from several small tradesmen and shopkeepers. An aged and infirm woman named Wynne, deposed that the insolvent with whom she was previously unac quainted, called upon her in the early part of the year 1842. and. bought furniture from her to the amount of 181., which he ordered to be sent home, promising at the same time that he would pay ready money on delivery, instead of which he took the goods out of his house and sold them, and she never saw him since until the present moment. An attorney named Salmon, also entered an opposition for a debt of 23/. Another creditor named Pater, stated that the insol vent called upon him, and induced him to supply a large quantity of goods which he disposed of under circumstances precisely similar to those detailed by the first witness. The quaint manner in which this witness gave deuce, and the hearty imprecations With which he a • themistd the insolvent's conduct and the manner - which he had been victimised, drew down roars of latip: • ter from & very crowded Court, Mr. WOODRUM, who appeared on behalf of the in solvent, acknowledged that he could not deny that the insolvent's conduct had been most fraudulent. Still he contended there were no grounds upon which the Court could legally remand the prisoner at the suit of Mr. Salmon; and in the cases of the other opposing creditors, as their debts did not amount to 201., it woul l be quite useless to inflict a remand, as the new Insolvent Debtors' Act was in operation, because alI he would have to clo , to procure his release was to make an application to a. Judge in chambers. Mr. COmmissioner IsTicuom.s said he thought there was quite enough to justify a remand in the case of Mr. Sal- mon. With respect to the conduct of the insolvent to 7 wards the poor old woman Wynne, be should say that a grosser swindle or more heartless robbery he never heard of ; and, although owing to her debt being only 181., a remand at her suit would be unavailing, he was happy to say be could still in the other case inflict such a remand as would prevent others from following such an example. The sentence of the Court was, that he be remanded for 18 calendar months from the date of - his vesting order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CL/: LIKEN WELL. Mr. Trillium Snowdon, a tallow chandler, residing at 4, Red Lion-street, Holborn, was charged with unlaw fully detaining three receipts for church-rates. Mr. Boydell appeared for the defendant, and Mr. Church on behalf of the parish of St. George the Martyr. The complainant was Mr. William Parker, collector for the parish of St. George-the-Martyr. He stated that on the sth instant, he went to the house of Mr. Snowdon, • to collect church-rates. Under the impression that the ' defendant would at once pay him, he placed the receipts on the table, but the defendant took them up and refused to pay more than IL Its. 4d., the full sum being 2/. Bs. He positively declared he would not give up the receipts. Mr. Boydell said he would cdt the matter short by ad mitting that his client had detained, and still detained, the receipts, but he complained of having been subjected to a very great injustice. A rate of sixpence in the pound had been made and collected ; that was the fall hum which had been assessed and entered in the parochial rate-book—the utmost the Act of Parliament permitted. A supplementary rate had, however, been subsequently made without any right or authority whatever, and that rate Mr. Snowdon had paid, believing it to have been a just and legal rate. Every other parishoner had refused to pay this supplementary rate, and his client, finding such to be the case, considered that he was grossly im posed upon. Not a-farthing of this supplementary rate had been enforced, or was sought t.u . , , be enforced. Mr. Duncoinbe, a solicitor, who chanced to bo in Court, said they had no right whatever to make this supplementary rate. Mr. COMAE said he could not try the legality of tha • rate. What he had to deal with was the detention .of ' the receipts, for which as yet no sufficient reason had , been urged. Mr. Boydell said he had no objection to give up the receipts. The defendant had detained the receipts fee the sum of 10s. Bd. he had paid as the supplemental ' rate, and paid the remainder of the church-rates which had been demanded. Mr. Parker complained of the insulting manner in which Mr. Snowdon had always treated him when he ap plied to him for the rates. This was not the place to try the legality of the supplemental rates. Mr. Snowdon indignantly denied the accusation of . having ever insulted Mr. Parker. Mr. COMBE decided that the receipts must be given up and that the defendant must pay the costs. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. _ . TIMES.—The national balance-sheet published in tho Times of to-day has given great satisfaction in the City. The excess of income over expenditure, amounting to 1,770,0801., is indeed less than that exhibited by the April balance-sheet, which was upwards of 2,000,0001., but, nevertheless, it indicates increased prosperity, if we look at the items by which it is produced. In both the balance-sheets China occasions a loss, the money re= ceived under the treaty being very much less than the expenses for the expenditure and the opium compensa tion. In the July sheet, however, the receipts under this head are much less than in April, while the expen diture is somewhat greater ; and if the items referring to China were struck out of the two accounts, we should have an increase in the excess of income over expendi ture (as compared with April) amounting to about 3,000,0001. The balances in the Exchequer, amounting to 5,687,000/., not only present a most favourable con trast with those of the corresponding period last year, amounting to 1,835,0001., but show an increase of more than 3,000,0001. compared with the balances on the sth of last April. It is almost needless to remark that one fourth of the 1,7,70,080/. will, after the 10th of October, be applicable to th,e redemption of the National Debt.

A meeting of the rate• payers and parishioners of St.. Paul's, Covent-garden, was yesterday evening called, by requisition, in the vestry•room of the above parish, to take into consideration the propriety of adopting trea sures for the formation of a new street from the corner of Long-acre to King-street, and thereby securing is desirable entrance to the market, and so benefiting to an incalculable extent the district at large. At the appointed hour, six o'clock, the vestry•roorer was crowded to excess, and Robert Debenham, Esq., "^ having been called to the chair, the proceedings were opened by Mr. Moseley, the vestry clerk, reading the minutes of a former meeting held for a similar purpose, and which were receive i and adopted. The meeting was unanimous as to the desirableness of the undertaking, and after some discussion a resolution was passed appointing a Committee, to whom large powers were delegated, authorising them to take steps to ensure the formation of the new street. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting then separated. NOTICE TO MARINERS.—TWO NEW LIGHTS ON THE ISLAND OF UDSIRE. Admiralty, August 8, 1844. Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you herewith. for the information of the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, a copy of the translation of a notice received from her Majesty's Consul-General at Christiania, an nouncing the erection of two new lights on the island of Udsire.—l am, Sir, &c., (Signed) SIDNEY lIERBERT.

These two lights, which are to be fix, 1, and to be • seen from every side, are situated 330 ells (CBO EngliSh feet from each other), 68 deg. east of south, and 68 deg. west of north by the compass. The lights will burn the year round, and will be lighted from Easter to Michaelmas an hour after sun set, and from Michaelmas to ELtster half an hour after sunset, and continue burning till sunrise. The elevation of the lights above the level of the sea is 248 Norwegian feet, equal to about 264 English. In order that they may servo as beacons during day, the towers or lighthouses are painted of a light red colour. The latitude of the most easternmost light is 59 deg. 18 min. 18 sec. north, and longitude 4 deg. 53 mm. 36 sec. east of Greenwich.
