Three men, named Thomas Pugh, James Day, and Robert Fowler, and a woman named Mary Ann Swan. were placed at the bar before Mr, Bingham, charged with the following outrageous and unprovoked attack upon the police : It appeared from the evidence that a mob of disorderly prostitutes and men, having collected at the door of a public-house, at half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night, Bryant, a policeman on duty there, desired them to move on ; the women did so willingly, but one of the men being intoxicated, for some time refused to do so, and Bryant saw him part of the way towards his home, and then left him, to return and look after the others. The instant he turned, however, he was met by the pri soner Pugh, who, without uttering a word, struck him a violent blow on the side of his head. He instantly seized Pugh, but the latter fought so desperately that he was obliged to call for assistance, and Kirshaw, an other constable, came up ; the mom,nt he made his ap pearance, however, he was knocked d own b y P ug h , w h o called upon the mob, which had collected to the num ber of several hundreds, to help him, and five or six powerful fellows rushed upon the officers, and beat and kicked them dreadfully as they lay upon the ground. Bryant drew his staff to protect himself, but that was seized by Pugh, who tried to wrench it from him,and who also seized the hand of Mr. Addison, a neighbour, who came to assist the officers, in his teeth, and bit a piece of flesh clean out of it. The hooting, yelling, and violence of the mob now became excessive, and they exhibited such determination to rescue the pri soners, that several of the respectable inhabitants who witnessed the peril the constables were in came volunta rily forward to render assistance, as also did two other constables, Nos. 216 and 151 G, but both the latter of whom were knocked down and kicked, 216 receiving. a violent kick on the side of his head. Pugh was at last captured, however, and taken up Old-street towards the station, to very nearly the door of which they were fol lowed by the rascals in the mob, who pelted them with brickbats and stones ; one of the officers being seriously wounded by a brickbat on the head, and another con tused on the arm by a stone, which were seen to be thrown by Day and Fowler, they were pursued. and, after a desperate struggle on their part, taken, and identified as two of the men who had kicked the con stables in such a violent and cowardly manner while lying on the ground. The instant the two last-named prisoners were taken, the woman Swan rushed forward. and made such a furious attack upon the officers, that they were obliged to take h,r into custody likewise, and the whole of them were then lodged in the station-house together. The prisoners, being called upon for their defence, denied, the, whole of the violent conduct imputed to them, and called two witnesses, who, so far from excul pating any of them, on the contrary, confirmed the greater part of the preceding statement. Mr. BINGHAM commented upon the prisoners' violence, and sentenced the three male prisoners, Pugh, Fowler, and Day, to a month's imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Coarection, but liberated the female pri soner Swan, as the least guilty and responsible of the whole, upon the payment of a trifling fine. QUEEN-SQUARE. Thomas Robert Bo:oring, who was described as a lawyer's clerk, and who assumed an air of considerable importance, was placed before Mr. Bond on the following charge:- 142 B said that about ten o'clock last night he met the defendant at the corner of New-street, Horseferry-road. He was drunk and disorderly. 'Witness persuaded him to go away with his wife, who was with him, and he accepted his advice and went away, but came back a second time and began to abuse witness, and as he continued to create a dis turbance, and to turn a deaf ear to his persuasive powers, he took him to the station-house. The defendant admitted he was intoxicated, but intimated that he had a counter-charge to make against the policeman, whom he charged with striking his wife, and with exceeding his duty, as he was at his own door at the time, when that with which he was charged was disposed of. The defendant was about to proceed to cross-examine the policeman on the charge he brought against him, but he was stopped by Mr. BOND, who said, that if he had a charge against the policeman he must make it to the Commissioners of Police, 'from whom it would meet with all due attention. He could only decide upon the case before him. Persons in his situation of life ought to set an example to those in an inferior station of life, and not imitate their vices. He must pay a fine of half-a-crown. The defendant paid the fine, and having politely bowed to the Magistrate, who, however, did not return the civility, he left the Court with his wife, apparently under the impression that justice had not been done to him. A middle-aged man and a boy, whose faces were brown with exposure to the sun, were charged with destroying their clothes in St. Margaret's workhouse. They had, of course, to be supplied with others. They said their clothes were filthy, and that they could not wear them. Mr. BOND committed them to the House of Correction for ourteen days. EDINBURGH JURY COURT. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. An action for breach of promise of marriage was tried on Wednesday before the Lord Justice-General and a jury, in which Miss Margaret Croall was pursuer, and Mr. Joseph Hutchinson was defender. The following was the issue in the case : " Issue in the cause in which Miss Margaret Croall, daughter of Mr. John Croall, coach proprietor in Edin burgh, is pursuer ; and Joseph Hutchinson, Esq., re siding at Woodside, near Dalserf, in the County of La nark, is defender. " Whether the defender, in the month of April, 1843, promised and agreed to marry the pursuer ; and whether the defender has wrongfully failed to perform the said promise and agreem ent , to the loss, injury, and damage of the pursuer ?"—Damages laid at 3,0001. Mr. INGLIS, with whom was Mr. Rutherfurd, opened the case for the pursuer. He stated that the pursuer was the daughter of Mr. Croall, the eminent couch con tractor in Edinburgh, and that the defender. Mr. Hut chison, who was the only son of a gentleman possessed of landed property, at Woodside, parish of Dalserf, Lanarkshire, paid his addresses to her about the begin ning of last year, arid was accepted by the young lady. It wits difficult to say whether he had ever been sincere in his addresses; if he were, it was impossible to ascer tain from what cause he had been induced to break off the match. The Learned Cousel then proceeded to read various letters addressed by the defendant to the pursuer, all breathing the warmest affection and attach • ment, but most of them adverting to the fact that his sisters were opposed to the match, and that they were endeavouring to stir' up his father against it, in which he was apprehensive they would succeed. At the same time,, he declared emphatically, and in re peated letters, that no opposition on their part, or on. that *of his father, would have the slightest effect in causing him to change his purpose. His letters also bore testimony to the fact that he kept. a race-bore— that he was in the Lanarkshire Yeomanry —and that he indulged in other amusements altogether Pincon sistent with the defence which was now set up by the defender; that h e was so utterly poor, and dependent for subsistence upon his friends. In Juue last year, he paid a visit to Edinburgh, and spent ten days or a fortnight in Mr. Croall's house, where he was received by the family with the utmost cordiality. At that time be went with Miss Croall and another lady to the shop of a jeweller in town, with the intention of purchasing for,her a diamond ring,' but when there, was induced to change . his purpose, and buy a gold watch, with which 'he presented her. After his return home, on the 29th June, he wrote to the pursuer, intimating that he had bad a conversation with his lather on the subject of his marriage, in which his father, while fully admitting the respectability Of the pursuer's family, and the unble mished nature of her character, thought that his son might have made a more advantageous match, and ob jected that the pursuer was beneath him in . rank. This the defender denied. The conversation dropped, the writer added, by the father declaring that he was un alterably opposed to the match, while the son declared firmly, on the other hand, that nothing but death should prevent him from carrying his intentions into effect. A day or two afterwards he wrote again, in which he repeated the substance of this conversation, and added, that he had had a conversation with one of his sistsrs, in which she stated that she would offer no further opposition to his marriage ; and he congratulates the pursuer on this' first indication of a bright change in their circumstances. Matters remained in this state till the 20th of August, whan a change in the style of the defender's letter began to appear. The jury would find in them what he (Mr. Inglis) must call a cunning and gradually executed device to shake himself free from his promises; and his object was to disgust Miss Croall with her prospects of matrimonial life, and thus to induce her to give up the engagement. On the 20th of August he wrote that he had unpleasant news to tell her, that his father was unalterably opposed to the marriage.

It Was street, Piccadilly, o ppos i te the Y or k H ote l. • •• (From the Liverpool Albion, of Monday.) At an early hour, yesterday morning, an appalling murder .is alleged to have been perpetrated in Peter street, in this town, by a tailor, of the name of Owen Leonard,. upon his wile. The parties occupied the house No. 35; Peter-street, w hi c h i s a narrow but densely-populated place,. to the rear of St. Thomas's buildings, leading, by a circuitous route, from. White chapel into the lower part of Dale-street. They kept a sort of lodgieg,house, occupying themselves the ground and upper floors, and letting 'off the second floor to some poor men, who gained a precarious livelihood by working about the town. Leonard himself occasionally followed his employment of a journeyman tailor ; but, from his dissipated and vicious habits, he appears to have been seldom successful in getting any work. Their principal means of support were derived from the rents paid by . ' the lodgers, and also from - the wages of their two daughters, grown-up young women, who were in ser vice at respectable gentleinee's. houses, one in Rodney- Street, and the other, we believe, in Everton.. It was about half-past one o'clock eesterday morning when tne dreadful occurrence took place. The lo !gees were singing and carousing in their apartment at the time, when suddenly Leonard rushed into their room, and accused one of them, a lama man, with having been on terms of more than ordinary intimacy with his. wife. The lame man indignantly denied the charge, anti Mrs. Leofiard offered to restore h;in a small balance of lodging money, which was to his credit, provided he left the house immediately, - and thus terminat-d the dispute. An altercation between the parties ensued, which for .a time . ended by Leonard striking his wife and the lame- man striking Leonard in return. Leo nerd subsequently fastened the street door, and, in the ,preaence of .his• son, a lad of thirteen years of age,. mentioned .before, deliberately took out his razor . and commenced to sharpen the edge, Mut tering some threats, at the same time, as to what he in tended. to do to his wife. In a short time Mrs. Leonard carne down stairs, and almost immediately upon her en tering the apartment where he was, he struck her a blow on the head with his clenched fist, which felled her to the ground. He then caught hold of her by the hair, a'id, with the razor,: partially cut her th roat, f i rst on one side and then on.the'other.- After he had mangled her in this brutal manner, he suddenly raised the razor arid cut. owerful muscu off a part of her nose. She, being a p lar woman, made a desperate effort to release herself from his grasp, and, in the st rugg l e, h e gave her another deep cut with the razor upon the fleshy part oil her left. leg, and also two other gashes upon her arms. : The female screamed terrifically ; S') also did the lad, who, as we have before stated, was present during the Ora l . section ; and in a short time the house was surreunded by the people •of the neighbourhood. The door Was speedily opened, but, before an entrance could be effected, the • crowd was horrified at seeing the . unfortueate woman, from whose neck, l eg , and arms blood was flowing profusely; either kicked or pushed by h er brutal husband dow n th e steps and into the street, Here she lay upon the pavement for a short time in the greatest agony ; but at .length a stretcher was brought, and she was removed to the letirmarv, where death speedily terminated her stiffinings. Officer 48 ar rested Leonard almost upon the instant. He found him in the act of washing the blood from his hands, and he discovered the razor under the table. The week bed man was immediately conveyed to Ariclovell, but, during the whole of yesterday, we understand that he betrayed but few symptoms of cenceen at the awful situation In which he has placed himself. He is sixty yeaze of Age, of rather diminutive stature, and an Irishman by birth, His wife, also a native of the sister country, was about the same age, and extremely eoepelent, It is said that Leonard has before made several attempts to cut her throat. An inquest will be held before the Borough Coroner to-day. .~, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. r IRON THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTZADAIN GLOBE.—There are two things which we consider Government bound to secure to the inhabitants of our towns. These two things are air and water. There are abundance of other things which we consider them in no manner bound to secure. It is natural that those other things (including swarms of functionaries, with concomitant swarms of fees, besides 1,0001. a year salaries) should be the things provided by the Metropolitan Buildings Bill now passing through Par liament ; and that air and water aforesaid should be'the two little things not provided. These, we presume are amongst the hopes which the Duke of Buccleuch holds out for next session. Air and water are beggarly elements ; salaries and fees are much more substantial objects to a practical is e•svernment—they are the manna in the wilderness which the " hungry Jews" of their ma jority have yet to traverse; and if, as Coningsby tells us, no business is done on a grand scale but Jews have a finger in it—the more Jews are in requisition, the more manna must be so too. We cannot, however, help thinking that the art of carving fees and salaries out of all human con cerns is one which requires a tact more delicate than this Government seems to exercise. It is needful, no doubt, that fees and salaries should be multiplied—te conserve Conservative majorities. The old way of doing this was to create salaries without functions, and con fer pensions without (published) claims. But sinecures have lost the odour of sanctity ; and pensions have become restricted, and raisonnies. What was to be done ? What remained but to evoke the foreign genius of functionarism? Sydney Smith enumerated the acts of life (and death) subjecting Britons to be taxed. If we do not look better out, we shall soon hate every act liable to be regulated. Now it is a matter of taste ; but we, for our part, had infinitely rather be taxed simply than taxed and teased tee. Such, however, is the tendency of things, in this day of cant and twaddling. Our laissez-faire principle—our premiere amours, and to which we are faithful still—is unanimously doomed by the senate of beasts of prey, as the jackass that drew the judgment down. That is, at all events, to be an instant victim—and sacrificing priests are to be instituted, at 1,000/. a-year salaries, with lots of other pickings, in the shape of fees. Air anti water !—give us air and water, because public regulation alone can do it—air, meaning thereby pure air, and not sulphuretted hydrogen —water. meaning thereby pure water, and not the rinsings of the gas-works and the choked church-yards. These things authority can do, and alone can do—and there fore is bound to do. A variety of other things it can not make people do—because they involve dispropor tionate cost to the objects. We, for our part, shou ld like to see the work-people h ouse d in Palladian palaces. It would improve their taste, and elevate their views of art. When the Jacobins took Lyons, they set the work people to live in some of the fine houses, and pull down the rest. They were more at home in their work, though a work of stupid destruction, than in their residences. But most assuredly we grudge the working classes no improvement of their houses that can be effected. Above all things, we demand, for their sake and the pub lic, that air and water shall be secured to their dwellings by act of authority. The former may be done by pre scribing conditions of space between rows of town-build ings. This is unquestionably within the competence of the public administration. The latter may be done by public machinery likewise, where necessary. Such pre parations as we see making for two ornamental fountains may be made as easily fur the pur pose of supplying whole districts with a necessary of life ; and it would only be necessary, perhaps, for autho rity to set up a standard by example in one or two places, to spur private companies into efficiency and cheapness. Mr. Hawkesley's evidence, quoted by Lord Normanby last Friday, affords an instance of how much may be sometimes done by a joint-stock company, in the case of the Treat waterworks, for the supply of the town of Nottingham. The line we should draw for public agency and regulation in such matters is the distinct one of universal and evident public objects. It is a public object, paramount to all private proprietary interests, that buildings should not be huddled together in large towns in such a manner as to render ventilation and drainage impossible. Attention to these should be imposed in all buildings. But it is not a public object to secure an arbitrary degree of solidity to private dwellings, nor to prescribe the dimensions of their apartments. These matters must, it appears to us, be left to be regulated by the means of the parties, or their expectations of re turn for their outlay. If the erection of houses of less than prescribed solidity or dimensions is prohibited, and if the number of houses erected is thereby limited, what is gained, except the crowding of the labouring , people more densely in those existing ? In these matters there is great virtue in active examples, and accomplished results. If building speculators take short-sighted views of their own interests, and source of profits—if they build in such a manner as to sacrifice the security, of their own tenements and rents, and to diminish the prospects of the solvency of their tenants by impairing their health and. character— there is an easy way of teaching them " philosophy by example." In this point of view, we agree with Lord Normanby with regard to the benefits which may be looked for from the sort of 'normal school of builders, which is commencing its operations. " There was a society," observed the Noble Marquis, "going on, sanctioned by the Government, and to which he was a subscriber, formed for the purpose of furnish ing at least specimens of better buildings for the poor. He trusted that when this society gad erected houses for the use of the working class, with the requisite sanatory conditions, the demonstration would be afforded that residence in such wretched dwellings as are now occu pied by the poor was no necessary and inevitable con diton of poverty." STANDARD.—We cannot envy the feeling of the political Dissenters, when they come to reflect seriously upon the influence of their proceedings upon the general interests of religion. Let us, however, here make a neces sary distinction ; in the class of Dissenters—whether po litical or peaceable— we do not include Romanists or Soci nians. These sects are Dissenters, no doubt, but they are something more ; they are enemies, not merely to the constitution and the forms of the Established Church, but to the Christian doctrine itself as we receive it, the first having a quasi polytheist religion of their own, the latter denying the fundamental truth of Christianity. These sects must therefore contemplate, not with indifference, but with high gratification, what ever of evil is inflicted by angry schism upon that religious faith which we and the ortho dox Dissenters hold in common. We must, however, repeat it, that the. feelings with which a sincere Christian must observe the influence upon the general interests of religion of the course taken by many orthodox Dissenters, aided by Romanists and Socinians (and surely such aid ought to have been a warn ing), cannot be enviable. Nothing, indeed, except the words of the apostle, can place in a more striking light the guilt of schism than what we have lately witnessed. The poor are deprived in youth of the blessings of religious education—why? Because the Dissenters will be contented with no national scheme of instruction, by which the Church shall not compromise its character and its ugefulness. Why are so many of the poor confined in union workhouses deprived of the consolations of religion? Because, not withstanding the earnest admonitions of the Govern ment, the Dissenters of the guardian boards in the unions to which these workhouses belong, sternly withhold the 'consolations of which surely none stand. more in need than the destitute and .miserable poor. This is the effect of schism, the young are left in ignor ance and sin, the old are condemned to close their days in sorrow and in darkness, because Dissenters hate an Established Church. We are sorry to be obliged to use so harsh a word as hate, but we cannot help seeing that the feeling of the political Dissenters goes far beyond mere alienation. Compare the'sluggish, lukewarm opposition offered by Dissenters to the late Bill for wresting from them even their own chapels and charitable foundations, to be applied to unchristian uses —compare this slow and feeble resistance with the zeal, that we may not call it fury, with which they oppose every effort to extend the blessings of religion through the agency of the Church ; and it is impossible to doubt that to those inspired by such zeal or fury the Church is an object of implacable and rancorous hatred.' There arc some, we know, who rejoice at this mani festation of sectarian bitterness and folly, and point with exultation to its effect in rapidly thinning , the ranks 'of Dissent ; but we cannot sympathise with their joy. We wish as much as any can to see all classes return within the fold of the Church; but we cannot be gratified by the improvement of one clan which is made at the expense and by the deterioration of another. We do not wish that some Dissenters should exhibit unchristian bitterness and irratiCZ,i — ex;;;;- gance, in order that other Dissenters may become Churchmen. Quite the reverse; let Dissenters .be like Baxter and Calamy, Watts and Doddridge, and they can hardly be too numerous, for there is still unhappily a large fund in the indifferent from which they may largely augment their number without any encroachment upon the Church. The misfortune,, however, is that in our day Dissenters do not seek to raise the irreligious and indifferent and heretical to the level of orthodox Chris- tianity, in order to recruit their number they descend into the mire of these miserable .classes, to. court alli ances and to swell their forces against the Church. Ro m'anist, Socirgan, Socialist, Atheist, any one is welcomed with the right hand .of fellowship, if only he will declare against the Christian establishment. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 29. (Before Mr.'Commissioner-Goutnunx.) JUDGMENT IN THE CASE OF ROE AND BLA.CILFORD, BANKERS, NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT. This being the-day appointed by the Learned Commis sioner for giving judgment in this important case, the Court was at the very earliest hoar crowded with parties interested. The Learned Commissioner having inquired who was the trade assignee in the case, Mr. Wilford stood forward. Mr. Commissioner Grousnums—What, Mr. Wilford, is your opinion, as trade assignee, of the conduct and proceedings of the bankrupts in this case ? Mr. Wilford—As being most deceitful to their creditors. The same question was put to the o ffi cial a ss i gnee , w h o re plied, that as far as he might judge from the bankrupt sheet, which was most voluminous, they had stated their affairs in a very straightforward manner. The Hon. and Learned COMMISSIONER then delivered judgment. This was a case of very considerable importance as respected the two gentlemen Roe and Blackford, and as respected the public. It was one of a number of cases of failure by large banks, and in this particular case mis fortune to a great extent had been entailed on a large proportion of persons in the Isle of. Wight. Since he had the honour of sitting as a Commissioner in Bankruptcy, three of those cases had been heard before him, one of which, he might observe, was in its general aspect very similar to the one at present before them. The circum stances, in fact, were almostitbe same. He referred to the Roni ford Bank. In all those cases they observed in the parties incul pated gentlemen of station and - of position in society, and fre quently connected with the best families in the district in which they resided, trusting to the chapter of accidents ; re ceiving deposits up to the last moment from unsuspecting individuals, and then failing, and leaving but little assets to cover perhaps their reckless profusion. What were the debts in that case? 100,0001., and the probable amount recovered would give a shilling in the pound. It had been strongly urged by the bankrupts' counsel, in excuse of the conduct of his had exercised a w h o l esome v i g il ance, t h ey client, that the opposing creditors h a d th emse l ves on l y to blame and that, if thy would not then ein such an unenviable position ascreditor to a large amount. He (Mr. Commissioner Goulburn) would at once accede that the conduct of the creditors of Mr. Cooke and other gentlemen was not right—that they were greatly to blame in not using proper caution ; but did this absolve the bankrupts? Those creditors stated that they had inis plicit confidence in Roe and Blackford, and more especially in Mr. Roe, and they therefore wished to serve them, and to prop their credit on the island. It was imputed to Cooke, and be thought most unjustly, that he had selfish motives, and that he assisted the bankrupts for the profits that might accrue. He (Mr. Commissioner Goulburn) saw nothing in the circumstances of the case to justify this imputation. Now, the question was—how far did this blind confidence on the part of the creditors justify the bankrupts? Bankers were frequently, as here, highly connected. Roe was the nephew of the late Sir Richard Bassett, he was living in splendour and opulence, he was the chief magistrate of the town of Newport, the principal place in the island, and all these circumstances induced a belief that he was perfectly solvent. Persons *ent to his bank, where their fathers had gone before, and after depositing their money and leaving, they looked up at his elegant mansion, and seeing the symptoms of boundless wealth there, could it be expected, could it be thought that a shadow of doubt would cross the mind of the creditor? Could they, therefore, think the plea of the creditors' negligence could be urged by the bankrupts with a good grace? He thought it but added to their tuypi • tude. Let them look at the charges which had been ad vanced against the bankrupts, and he (Mr. Commissioner Goulburn) was most anxious that they should be fully under stood. The first charge was, that in the year 1842 they were and had been for some time before in a hopeless and helpless state of insolvency, to the amount of 50 or 60,0001., Blackford being personally indebted in an amount or upwards of 10,000/., and Roe in a smaller amount of from 6 to 7,0001. The charge was, that at that time they permitted the opposing creditors to form with them a joint-stock bank, they wilfully concealing their insolvency, and holding out to them a con trary and untrue statement. He (Mr. Commissioner Goul burn) was afraid that that was proved to demonstration by the memorandums, which could not err. He found that on May 22d there was a meeting held, and at that meeting Mr. Cooke inquired of Blackford, whether, after appropriating such and such debts and securities, they would retain sufficient assets to meet their engagements ant liabilities, because if they had not such they would place the Company in a most awk ward position ? The answer to this was a distinct one—that they held such a sufficient amount of assets as would meet all their liabilities. Now that was a distinct untruth—a wilful suppression of the truth. It was no argument to say the creditors ought to have looked. The question was asked, and it ought to have been truly answered. Confidence was reposed in them, and it had been unworthily .abused. The same question was put to Roe, and be answered in a similar manner. Could any man doubt then that this wawa gross imposition on the part of the bank rupts? The consequence of this deceitful concealment was an involving of those gentlemen who form the Joint-stock Com pany, in a larg e amo un t. Here, as in every case, to begin with falsehood led to other and deeper evils. The second charge was this :—Ceatain securities and bills of exchange, which having been the property , of Roe and Blackford, were left in the bands of Glyn and Co., and were thence redeemed by the Joint-stock Company, and placed in the banking es tallishment of the Alessrs. Currie, the said securities and bills being then the property of the new bank. The Joint stock Bank devolved on the bankrupts the entire manage ment of the new concern. Now, what was their duty as honest men ? It was their duty to have conducted themselves with strict integrity towards their employers. But what did they do? Blackford writes to Messrs. Currie and Co., with out the consent of Mr. Cooke or the other gentlemen of the co-partnery, as from the new concern, wanting those securi ties back, which, having been sent to him, he pla ces t o t h e credit of his own bank. What is the excuse he makes ? This. That Christmas coming on, he thought that customers might like to take up their securities. If he thought so, why not have kept them beside him; why give himself a fictitious credit by appropriating property not his own? The Curries at last wrote that they did not like this mode of doing busi ness, and that letter falling into Mr. Cooke's hands, he made inquiry, was' answered with the above excuse, and the se curities were sent back again. Another charge was that certain customers of Roe and Blackford's, who were suspicious of the stability of that bank, had their amounts actually trans - ferred to the new bank, and, in one instance, a person, very wisely, drew his amount from the joint-stock bank immediately after his account was so transferred. Was it possible, he would ask any honest man, to justify -this proceedure? They had no warrant for such a course from their employers. To cover this conduct they had recourse to another evil. It was usual that a balance-sheet should be submitted to the directors every Thursday, and Mr. Blackford was in the weekly practice of altering the state of the accounts in that sheet to meet the directors' eyes, and then, having answered their purpose, he re-altered them again for the purposes of the creditors. How did he justify that? ! he called th ose a l terat i ons mere " scratches." They had got to this position with those gen tlemen. They began with falsehood and untruths for the purposes of deception ; they appropriated securities belonging to others for the purpose of building a fictitious credit for themselves; they transferred accounts from their own bank to the new without the sanction of the directors, and they then began those alterationalthuthe weekly statements which were necessary to conceal their previous misconduct, ar:d all the time they were insolvents to an enormous amount. Now, under . these circumstances were those gentlemen to be permitted to go " back to trade, and to have the privileges allowed them. which the law humanely granted to those who were unfortunate, through no misconduct, and no culpable negligence of their own? What an amount of evil had the bankrupts not done in the Isle of: Wight ! His friend who sat below him, and who gone to Rumford on a Chancellor's order, could harrow up their feelings with a de tail of the misery brought upon the middle and lower classes, by the failure of the bank there; and could the bankrupts, in this ease answer to the world, for having . introduced such evils in the island, by their failure in Newport.. The question for that Court was, had the charges against the bankrupts been proved ? He was bound to say they had ; and could be, from any feelings of a morbid humanity, think of per mitting them to pass that Court ? Could he answer to his conscience, if-he gave protection to those gentlemen—men of education, of good families, going on from year, resolved at all events to take money, and f rom a ll persons who might offer it. He felt it his duty, as a judge in an English Court, under all _the circumstances, to refuse the bankrupts their certificates. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 29. In consequence of the: sudden indisposition of Mr: . Commissioner Law, and the absence of the other Com . ? missioners on Circuit, Mr. Nicholls, as-senior barrister; . presided. ' The COURT was occupied for a long time in hearing' cases,_ in none of which, except th e f o ll ow i ng ,' th ere ap peared any - point of general interest. 1F RE PIERRE CHARLES BRITNEAU CARE. The insolvent in this case, who is a native of France, and whose debts and nab: fides were stated to be very large, applied to be liberated on bail until the day ap pointed for his final hearing. A very general iMpr,ession seems to prevail that it is quite impossible for any person to obtain his liberty by even the most speedy adoption of the different tech nical forms under a period 'of six weeks or two months, but this case, notwithstanding the number of debts which appeared in the insolvent's schedule, afforded a striking instance of the quickness with which insolvents may take advantage of the present state of the law. The prisoner's attorney• brought him into Court. and securi ties being found for his appearance on the day fixed for his hearing he was liberated, after being in prison for only eleven days from the date of his arrest. • IN RE THOMAS EVANS. The insolvent had carried on an extensive business as a cowkeeper and dairyman ; he was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the ground of having made away with property; of having failed to account for a certain reversionary interest to which'he became entitled after the death of his mother, and, also, with having vexatiously 'defended an action brought to recover the amount of an accommodation bill. Mr. NICHOLLS, after hearing very lengthened evi dence, ordt red the case to be adjourned .to compel the insolvent to.amend his schedule and file more correct . accounts. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKENWE L L. Mr. Thomas Rule, 9, Fisher-street, Red Lion rquare, aas charged with assaulting Mr. Henry Chester, an oil man in Bloomsbury Market ; also with assaulting po lice-constable Catt,• rmole, 16 E. The policeman deposed that on Saturday evening last, at seven o'clock, being on duty Red Lion-square, Mr. Chester sent for him to expel the prisoner (who is his brotfter-in-law), from the houie. Witness entered the house,.and attempted to remove the prisoner, who im mediately exclaimed, " I will knock your d—d head off," and stru c k witness a violent blow on the face. lie therefore took him to the station-house. Mr. Chester • also gave the prisoner in charge: • The prisoner denied the assault, and alleged the po liceman was drunk, but the charge was unfounded. —He was fined 11.
