There was lately built by the heritors of the . parish a new church for behoofof the Establishment; the old church having been left standing for the ace9mmodation of the parish,.until such time as the new one would be ready to be occupied. The new church was ready a few weeks ago, and was taken possession of by the residuary minister, and some twenty peEsons; partly belonging to the parish. In the mean time the trustees of the late Xames,Eari Of Fife, understanding that nearly the whole of the parish had adhered to the free church' of Seotland,and had been worshipping in a barn since the disruption, .did, at their request, grant the parishioners the use of the old church. Any one can imagine with what feelings of joy and thankfulness the good people of Urquhart returned to their old church, and to their<old and accustomed seats in that church, with • theAust -of their forefathers around them, and also with what feelings of gratitude towards the honourable trustees for their' kind and liberal eonduct towards th.m: 'Everything seemed Jrosperous for the' rural people; when, lo on Friday evening week, an in terdict, at the . instance of the Duke of Richmond, was served on their • beloved pastor, tind sore of. than* ma nagers, prohibiting theM from the use of the, old church; and the people are again cast out at this .severe season, to' worship where they best may ; and.all because this . nerous Duke is the trustee—only the trustee—of a few pounds4orth of its stone and lime.-- The .Witness.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN, RE HENRY TURNER. In this matter the bankrupt had carried on business as a shipping agent, and had also been engaged extensively as a stockbroker, and in speculations upon 'Change. The whole amount of his debts and liabilities exceeded 40,000/., out of which nearly 7,000/. was contracted on account of his brother, and his available assets, according to his schedule, appeared to be about 13,000/. Several creditors appeared to oppose the application made by the bankrupt this day to be discharged,• on the grounds that he had not truly accounted in his schedule for the proceeds of a cargo which he had been instructed by Mr. Wells, the principal creditor, to ship fur New York., The value of this cargo, it was elicited by the evidence of the opposing creditor, was up wards of 4,000/. and on account of which he only rendered a sum of 2,50 W. It was therefore contended, on the part of Mr. Wells, that the bankrupt had been guilty of fraudulent conduct, and was, consequently, not entitled to pass his final examination. Other auditors also opposed, but the nature of their opposition was of ti'e usual character in such cases. The further hearing of the case was adjourned to the 7th of February, in,order that evidence might be adduced with re spect to the manner in which the bankrupt htd acted, in his capacity of consignee of the property entrusted to him by Mr. Wells. IN RE THOMAS HOLFORD. - This day was . appointed for -the choice of assignees under the fat against the bankrupt, who had been a linendraper and hosier in Regent-street. The particulars of the, case appeared in The Sun on:the 15th of December, when he was last before the Court. After the admission of a few proofs in which there appeared on points of general interest, Mr. Isaac Salomon was appointed assigate. IN RE HENRY RIcHARPS, A dividend was declared this day in this matter, when a sum of Is. 3d. in the pound was paid. A former dividend had been paid on the 17th of July, when 2s. G.I. was received by the body of the creditors. It was stated that the assignees were likely to raise sufficient funds from the assets to enable them to _pay a• further dividend of, about 2s. more in the pound, thus making of a dividend on the whole of nearly 7s. in the pound. PO LICE' I NTELLIGENCg. BONI-STREET-(THIg . DAY.) A dissipated-Iwking man, named Jeremiah Sulivan, was placed before ' Mr. Jardine, charged with stealing a pair of Wellington boots from the feet of another prisoner in the station-house cell. The prisoner had been given ,into custody on a. charge of housebreaking, but the case was not substantiated, and he was discharged. As he was leaving the dock the officer said there was another charge against the prisoner. When he went to the cell this morning to bring the prisoners out, the prosecutor, Mr. Hudson, who had been brought to tne station-house for being drunk, said that some one had taken his boots off in the night. The witness examined the cell, and found the boots on the feet of the prisoner. On further examination he discOveied the "shoes the prisoner wore when taken int o cus t o dy i n the water-closet. The prisoner . said the boots were not the pro secutor's, for be (the prisoner) had bought them the day before in Monmouth-street. • Mr. Hudson, the owner of the boots, said he was brought to tLe station-house in a state of intoxication, and after he had been in the cell - a short time, he' fell asleep. He was aroused soon after by feeling some one taking off his boots, but he took so notice of this, as he thought he was at home, he being in the habit of having his boots taken off for him. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was drunk, and did not know what he was about. Mr. JARDINE asked the officer if this was the case? The officer said the prisoner was drunk. Mr. JARDINE said it was just possible that the prisoner's story was correct, and therefore on this occasion he would be discharged. But he would advise him to be very cautious in future, as he had had a very narrow escape. • MAR YLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) Edward Burton, a person having the appearance of a gen tleman's servant, was charged with having swindled an Irish farm servant of two sovereigns. The Irishman, had lately arrived in London from New South Wales, and was abeatt to go by railway to Bristol, and• while waiting with his luggage at the Mint public-house, the pri soner came in and entered into conversation ; an accomplice followed, and they contrived, by showing a large sum of money (counterfeit of course) to get two sovereigns from complainant. lie discovered the trick, and when the prisoner attempted to escape, and dropped the two sovereigns, he caught him by the collar, and gave him into custody. The complainant added that he had now lost his passage, and could not leave for Bristol for another week. The prisoner, in answer to inquiries from the Magistrate, said that ha was a groom, and had formerly lived in the service of some of the first noblemen, and amongst others the Duke of Butland, the Earls of Onslow and Fitzwilliam, as also in that of Mr. Tierney,of Somerset House. His present residence he refused to disclose. Mr. Ha wListsorr said that it would be an ac t o f i n j us ti ce t o bind ove r the poor Irishman to prosecute at the sessions, and he would, therefore, as the more merciful mode of remunerating hint for loss of time and trouble, give him his two sovereigns, and add hini a third to pay his expensei during' the time he would be obliged to wait his passage. He would remand the pris.ner till Thursday next. The IrishFnan expressed his heartfelt gratitude; and then left the Court. , CLEV.KENWELL—(THIS DAY.) .121 at Harvey, a well-known thief, was charged with felo nioutiv attempting to enter the house of Mr. Meares, a gentle man of fortune, residing at No. 12', New Ormond-street. . It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night, Mr. Meares being standing in the hall, heard a key in the street door, and the latch, gently lifted up. The key . was taken out again, arid another key applied. Mr. Meares rushed to' the d',oz, opened it, and seized the prisoner. A policeman was sent tor, and several skeleton keys were found on his person. Mr. GREEN woon sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment. .UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.) Morgan Jones, an athletic man, was charged with COM mitiiug a violent assault on James Fox, who is confined to the hospital owing to the serious nature of the injuries he received. It appeared that on the preceding day the defendant was seen passing along Kensington-lane, followed by a man much his inferior in point of stature. The defendant, addressing the latter person, was heard to exclaim, " If you follow me any longer, I will settle you!" Th e man con ti nue d to go a f ter the defendant, who turned upon him and gave him a desperate blow in the face, which knocked him into the road, and in . flitted a most extensive wound down nearly the whole length of his cheek. ! The man was taken up in a state of insensibility, And conveyed to the hospital, where it was found that the in jury he had received was of such a serious nature, that he was not in a fit state to enable him to appear against his assailant, who was remanded. Edwar4 May was charged with stealing a twelfth cake from the shop of a pastry-cook in East-lane. The prisoner, with two other boys, was observed lurking about the complainant's shop, and after a little time he was seen to , snatch the cake, weighing nearly 3011)s., and run off. A clerk in the B an k f England happening to witness the transaction, gave pursuit to the thief, wh ) finding that he was overtaken, turned round on his pursuer and threw the cake at his head. The clerk, however, secured the prisoner, Who was committed for trial. A MEMENTO OF MORTALITT.—The Chinese, it is said, as neon as they come to years of diseretion; make provi sion for their deaths, by laying in a coffin along with their other furniture. ller Majesty's Ministers seem to have accu rst, ly copied this custom of the Celestials; for no sooner were they placed in a position to exercise their discretion, than they made the surest possible provision for their deaths, by hiring• the hearse .on which their predecessors were borne to their graves - . Free trade was the coffin of the :ate as it threatens to be oflhe present Administration.—Post. SUSPECTED INCENDIARISM. ROCHESTER, AJ ON - nv. —Wsterday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, an -express arrived at Roche s ter, bri ng i ng i n f ormat i on that anin cendiary fire had broken out in the stockyard of Mr. Allen, who holds the Buckholm Farm, at High llalstow, in the hundred of Hoo. Mr. Batten, the agent of the Sun Fire-office here, immediately ordered out his engine, and about four o'clock pro ceeded to the spat, which is about six miles distant from Ro chester. Very judicious steps were taken to suppress the flames, and to these and the fortunate circumstance of the wind setting off the barn and house, which immediately ad join the stockyard, may be attributed the preservation of the rest of the property. Directly in front of the farm-house is a large horse-pond, from which the engine obtained a plentiful supply of water, which was poured on the burning mass, while a number of labourers from the adjoining hamlet of High Halstow spread the materials of the stacks . upon the ground, and removed into the . adjacent turnip field the small portion which they could from time to time save. Mr. Allen stated that the property destroyed consisted of two stacks of oats and two of beans, the whole being the produce of 26 acres. From information gathered from Mr. Allen and upon the spot, there appears but little doubt that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The farm servant of Mr. Allen, going ac cidentally out of the house between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, saw , smoke issuing from the farm-yard, and on going to see what was the matter, found one of the stacks alight, but no one was to be seen near. The discovery was Made at the same , time by the people at Halstow Church, which is within sight of the farm, when Mr. Lewis, the clergyman of the parish, was about to commence divine service, and that gentle -man, with a praiseworthy feeling, at once dismissed the congre gation, urging them to assist in, putting out the fire, setting :them an example in his own person.. Some lucifer-matehes were found sin ray after the fi.e'broke out'near -the spot,' and the constable,of the parish, who had been .making inquiries, said that he had sufficient information to call for an investiga tion. The general opinion seems to be that the crime was . committed by a stranger, as Mr. Allan has alWays been on the best terms with his workpeople' and is universally respected. Mr.-Allen is insured in the Globe Fire-office, but it is doubtful • whether or not to the full extent of the damage' sustained. At nine o'clock last night the flames were so far subdued that no further danger was apehended. • /, • / 11 LUNTIs --- M.INpENDIAE Y FißE.—On .a.ionuay evening last, ab ou t seven o ' c l ock, a fire was discovered rag ing -in the hamestead of Mr. Asplen 'farmer of this place, and, one :of the guardi ans - of the poor; the flames spread rapidly, and in 5pit,1..61 the exe r ti ons o f th e neighbours and the presence' of two en gines, were • not subdued till all the stacks in the yard , (tut one), and a barn containing threshed corn, were con sumed. The dwelling-11(4Se was saved, as were the imple mentsond stuck on the premises. There is no doubt as to the c, nilagration having been . caused by an ificordiary, as Mr. Aspen has for some time past been subjected to a system of annoyance. 'I he evening before the fire, the manes and tails of same horses were cut off, and very lately all the gates on his farm were despoiled of their hinges.—Cambridge Independent.
