• MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. • CITY, FRIDAY EVENING: TIMES.---The rapid rise Of the Manchester and Leeds, and of the Birmingham and Gloucester sham s , since yesterday, is the most remarkable feature of die share.market. The former, it is said, are influenced liy a demand induced'by the belief that the new lines Will drove productive the latter are in req ues t, on =Willa tf . the receipts having surpassed general expectations. Coufnared with last year, the increase is at the rate of , 006/: per week. Bristol and Gloucester shares, .thouh has been- less'sudden; have bcert'steddily gressing i' s -oin a' similar reason, the receipts here assn „ x „ e di tig the. general belief, although the railway has not not been open above three weeks. • The following ;kits been Sent by the Committee of Spanish' American bondholders, as the official account 4 , 1 their proceedings yesterday H'l3, 'Austinfriars, July 26, 1844.1 " The Committee of. Spanish American B on dh o ld ers held a meeting yesterday, on the subject of thenew Granadian debt, when it Appeared from recent communications from Bogota, ‘ ‘hatthere.wassome reason to expect, by the nex t arr i val; a ,, -n' speciti 'communication on the sithjectof the adjustinebt o f the debt. The Committee, therefore, adjourned further procee.iings. The delay of the Government of New Granath h a , b een - most unsatisfactory to the Committee" and 'to 411 parties' Ca. nr A irned, after the very liberal' concessions which have been Toads to procure an adjustment of tills long-prb_.. traeted affair.' By this document it is tolerably evident that no pubh, meeting will be celled till the receipt of further commu nications froniNtoy Granada. The bondholders, thoti„..h they are anxious to-express their sentiments on the sub ject of Ithis .debt, wilt probably .wait, witb patience Ir. little longer, on the understanding that the next arrival will bring the " specific communication" desired. Thei'l, it is to be hoped, the. Committeemill lose no time calling thein together; and . the subject will- undergo Shorou-0 consideration. Besides looking into the- n cure of the proposal made by the indebted republic, b, • Niadholders will make stringent ingttiries as to the suim Nv h . , 4 ch is said to have been already remitted. by • Nen, G ran 'oda, and to be in the hands of Senor bioscluera. Nothiog . definite i 9 known respecting this sum, b ut i t .s suppose d .to be sufficient to pay 1 per cent. per annum an the whole-'.debt for a period, of two years. The lettex's Istfereceived from Lima repres en t a r - s p ee t a bl e mercanti le firth there as having refiised the offer to become . local agent to the' Peruvian bondholders. The firm in question expressed their gratification t being thought worthy of so high trust, but stat e d that the republic was subject to such - constant changes, that it' would be utterly useless for any one to undertakie matters connected with finance. One Government so' rapidly succeeds another in Peru,. that an agreement se' de with one, might be cancelled - by the next before it e,lold be brought into' operation. As some parties have incoirectly supposed that by the Doleh decree; mentioned yesterday, the b lers of the old five per Cents. are bound to ctflaiv their bonds int& Four per Cents., it is as well to rag )ve the error. The .decree in its preamble sets forth a wish to afford to ilto holders of the old Five per Cents. ah . opportunity to exchange their bonds on the same' footing as the holders of the "Indians" (the " speckle . backs"), but it is by no means compulsory as to their entering into the operation. To prevent all futur e t misunderstanding on the subject, we give the 5t article, which relates czclusively to the holders of the old stock. "Art. s.—ln order to enable the holders of the old Five per Cents. to transfer their bowls at the price mentioned in Article I (viz., 95 per cent.), at w hi ch the Indians can now . be excned, an inscription register will be opened from in order to convert i k ele Ist h d l g ho 20th of August *tb:s stock (frovn the Ist of October, 1 844) to Four per Cent.

" and .bearing intek 'est from SAILOWICR.—X WATER SPOUT.. —On Virednesday :one of the most extWordinary events ever recorded was w i t nessed at this place. About noon a whirlwind al:we, at tended b y what is nailed a " water-spout," whie lx passed within half a mile of that town. It came over a hay marsh, belonging to Mr. Jennings Gibbs, of Littlebourne, where some men had just commenced stacking the bay. A cart ,handing closely by was carried the distance of three or , and some of the hay as fir as three miles, T.' '-\ L-;"Piall • ter. Some boys who were in the marsh were e o air legs, and thrown to the ground with great 346 ence,‘ covered with hay. The haymakers, who Isere sitc - quietly at dinner, were, of course, greatly surprised I alarmed ; and still more so, when one of then' bask was borne oft' like a parachute, to a consi derable CO and lodged in the river. The " water spout," in cc 'arse, socked up every pond, and in ems mg thej,.ver the water :rushed up like a fountain. The y4nemes - on was zxceediney alarming, and we expect to ltdir of eke terror created at Minster, where it apparently burst. Our inforrnaut, upon whom Vria may rely, witnessed *he whole chapter of s3vents.—Kentish Observer. ._,.~. SPIRIT a the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—A new writ was moved last night for Cirencester, in the room of Mr. Master. We have no shame in saying that we never heard of Mr. Master, till we heard of his accepting the Chiltern Hundreds. He will be succeeded, of course, by some new no minee of Lord Bathurst. The borough of Cirencester, which returns two Members, has, we find by a Pa:lia mentary return presented to the House of Commons, on the motion of Mr. Hume, during this session, 496 electors, of whom 153 are qualified as ten-pound house holders, and 343 as potwallopers. The gentle-phrased " Parliamentary Companion" tells us of this borough, " Lord Bathurst has some influence here." The fact is, Cireneester is a comple nomination borough. Mr. Crip the banker in the town, returns one Member (at present his son), and Lord Bathurst the other. Why Lord Bathurst's late nominee retires, or who Lord Bathurst's new nominee is to be, we do not know, nor do We care ; but this we know, that the sooner this and sixty or seventy other nomination boroughs are got rid of, the better. And they must be got rid of. Cirencester is a large constituency, in comperis with many others. At Andover, we find by the same i return, 240 electors send two Members to Parliam:mt; at Lymington, in Hampshire, 282 electors return two Members. Constituencies of this size are inevitably governed by proprietary influence or bribery. We have had elections during the present session for Abing don, Woodstock, Launceston, Christchurch, Horsham, Huntingdon, and Devizes. The first five places return one Member each. Huntingdon and Deviz -s each return two. Abingdon has 158 electors; Wood stock, 392 ; Launceston, 344 ; Christchurch, 327 ; Horsham, 339 ; Huntingdon, 374 ; Devizes, 374. The number of electors in every one under 400 ! Why, what a farce of popular representation is this ! The Duke of Marlborough does what he likes with Woodstock, the Mice of Northumberland with Launceston, Sir G. Rose with Christchurch, the Duke of Norfolk with Horsham, and Lord Sandwich with Hunt ingdon. At Abingdon and Devizes every one knows that money and proprietary influence together do the business. The 158 electors of Abingdon strengthened the Government by returning the Solicitor-General, when his Grace of Marlborough would have nothing more to do with him at Woodstock. What a proud proof of popular confi dence! And even to gain this great popular victory, his " elegance" had to come down with scramble-money ! With the exception of Horsham, the Members for all these boroughs are supporters of the Government ; and the Member for Horsham is a protectionist. We trust that the Liberal party will not allow Cirencester to be trans ferred from one noodle-nominee to another without a contest, even though the contest be hopeless. Let sonic one go there to sow the seeds of sound principles, which on a future day may be fruitful, and to expose the nomi nation system of the borough. STANDARD.----IThe debate upon the subject of drainage, though opened in a bad spirit by Lord Normanby, was useful, as whatever forces atten tion to the subject must be useful. The health of grge towns must ever remain precarious, until these towns shall be sufficiently secured against the presence of stagnant water. We say the presence of stagnant water, because great mis apprehension prevails upon this subject, as it is generally supposed that the absence of ill smells and of filth obvious to the senses, is a sufficient guarantee for health. The reverse is the fact ; dry dirt, however of fensive to the senses, is comparatively harmless, whereas the exhalation from the wet soil, though damped by the purest water, and the exhalations from stagnant water, however pure, are fatal. The proximity of a per fectly limpid fidi-pond has been known to perpe tuate fever in a house until the cause of the mischief was removed, though, unhappily, not until after the sweeping away of successive families. On the other hand, few persons enjoy better health than those living in the foetid atmosphere of slaughter-honess, tallow-chandleries, and the like. Drainage properly so called—the removal of water—is that to which the Legislature must first direct its attention if it would secure the public health, cleanli ness would be no doubt an important auxiliery to dryness, even in preserving health ; and it h.s great influence upon morals, as well as being essen tial to comfort, but the first great object, we repeat it is to exclude wet and damp. As the Legislature has taken up this subject, we hope that it will ultimately extend its care for tLe happiness and well-being of the poor a liLtie further. Something is wanted to provide better lodging for labourers in large towns (the field garden allot ment syste:n will do much in the country and in villages). We are persuaded that with faeilities and encouragement afforded by the Legislature, capitalists might be tempted to invest money in the erection of what we may call labourers' barracks, in which each labourer might have a room and a bed to himself at a small rent, instead of being driven, as they now are, to sties in St. Giles's, for half or a third of a bed in the filthiest recesses of which they pay Is. 6d. and 2s. per week. There can be little doubt that a barrack capable of comfortably accommodating one hundred men might be substantially built for 5,0001., the present interest of which sum, invested in Consols, is 1501. prr annum ; but 100 men paying no more than one shilling a-week each, would give 2601. a-year. There would be, therefore no loss upon the investment ; whereas the benefit to the poor, both the direct benefit to those lodged in the barrack, and the indirect benefit in reduc ing rents generally, would be of inestimable value ; nor would the labouring classes be the only gainers —those infectious and contagious diseases which periodically sweep through all ranks with impartial cruelty, however originating, are always nursed in the crowded abodes of poverty. For ourselves, when we see any street or district of streets not of the very worst description, thrown down for any public improve ment, we are disposed to ask, what has beco of the inhabitants? and the unpleasant answer that commonly occurs is, that they have probably removed to some worse place—for though there are some decent small streets in the remoter suburbs, poor people, whose ,constant daily toil lies in the city, can hardly afford to in e crease their labour by an additional three miles' walk in the morning, and as much more at night ; we shon'd therefore rejoice to see the very worst districts eVis• cerated, and labourers' barracks, with spacious surround !rig areas, in the acorn of the present abominable edifices Rowles, aged thirty-five, late landlord of the Crown and Sceptre, Great Arthur-street, Golden-lane, who committed suicide. Edward Henley, an engine-driver, No. 2, Osborn-place, Great Arthur-street, said that on Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock, he was standing at his door, facing the Crown and Sceptre, when he heard several persons.exclaiming that the deceased had committed self-destruction. Wine: ss, with several others, ran up stairs, and found the deceased in his bed-room, on the floor, at the back of the door Witness raised him up, and then observed a deep gash across his throat. A surgeon soon after arrived, who directed that he should be taken to an hospital. Life appeared extinct. George Wood, jeweller, No. 14, Rahere-street, St. Luke's, said that he saw the deceased a few minutes before seven o'clock. Deceased's sister-in-law had requested him to watch deceased, who, she said, was in a state of distraction. About seven o'clock witness had occasion to leave him. On his re turn, in a minute or two, witness heard the gurgling in his throat, upon which he immediately gave an alarm. In the morning of the same day he was very excited. Witness saw him in the yard, walking to and fro, and laughing in a very strange way. Witness asked him what he was laughing at. He replied, " There was heaven in a kiss," and laughed again. He was not in a state of poverty, but he was a man who had been much better off. His wife is out of town. ' She went on Monday morning to Falmouth, to see her father and mother. By the CORONER—Deceased had formerly been a wine and spirit merchant, and had a public-house of his own. He was put into the Crown and Sceptre by Mr. More, the brewer. Witness had no doubt but that his trouble had affected his mind. Five weeks ago he was in a very excited state, and on one occasion it required several persons to hold him down. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." A FAMILY OF SUICIDES.—Last evening, Mr. Joseph Payne held an inquest at the Dun Horse, High-street, Borough, on the body of John Crowley, aged 19, a porter in Billingsgate market. From the evidence of the witnesses, it appeared that the deceased resided with his father at one of the low lodging houses in the Mint. He was of a very uncertain, and at times violent temper, and gave much annoyance to his fellow lodgers. The landlord said that he was in the habit of play ing "larks" with the other inmates of the house, such as throwing stones of a pound weight at them, or sometimes half a pint of water, and then run away laughing. On Tuesday he was out nearly all day drinking, but was at home at seven o'clock, and went to bed along with his father. Shortly after nine o'clock he was found suspended by his neckerchief to a rafter in the closet, and quite dead. About three years ago the deceased hanged himself at the Queen's Head, Billingsgate, but fortunately was cut down before life was extinct. He was potboy at the house, and shortly be fore making the attempt upon his life, the cook succeeded in destroying herself by the same means. The landlord in con sequence of what had taken place left the house. The father of the deceased said he was sure his son was not in his right senses, nor had he been for some time, and that he made an attempt upon his life when only twelve years old. It was also stated in the Court that since the death of the deceased his mother had attempted to hang herself, and his father to cut his throat. The CORONER summed up the evidence veryminutely, and The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." STATE OF TRADE.

WARNER'S EXPERIMENT. In answer to a question as to the recent experi ment, Lord Ingestre said— "it was notorious that an experiment had been tried, on Saturday last, upon a large ship, which had been shattered and sunk by the force of certain projectiles, the invention of Captain Warner. He was not at liberty to disclose either the materials by which this destruction was effected, nor the manner in which it was done— (Hear, hear)—bat perhaps it would afford some pleasure and satisfaction to the public if he read a document to the House which had been drawn up entirely with re ference to the subject.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord their reid the fAlowing certificate : " July 21. " We, the undersigned, hereby certify that the ope 7 ra•ions against the John o'Gaunt, of 300 tons, conducted by Captain Warner, off Brighton, on Saturday the 20th inst., were under our management and control. We further certify that the explosion did not take place from any combustible matter either on board or alongside. the ship, but was caused by Captain Warner, who was on bard the William Wallace steamer, having the ship in tow at a distance of about 300 yards, and that the ex plosion took place in consequence of a signal made by us from the shore, the time of which was not previously known to Captain Warner. " We further declare our belief that Captain Warner has never been on board the ship since she left Gravesend. INGESTRE, Captain, R.N., C.B. " r. DICKENSON, Captain, R.N. " W. 11. HENDERSON, Captain, RN., C.B.' A person who vouc h es so confidently as Lord Ingestre does, should be rather more accurate in his statements. It is not, as he says, notorious that the bark was " shattered and sunk by the force of cer tain projectiles." Whether she was destroyed by projectiles, or by some other means, such as a tor pedo attached to her bottom, or drifted against her, is as yet purely a matter of conjecture. Nay, the ex periment has been so conducted, that there is no cer tainty that the explosion was not from combustibles concealed in her. We do not think it all probable that there has been any such trick in the matter, but in an experiment of this sort, it is not enough to look to probabilities and fair presumptions—possibil;ties of foul play should be guarded against. The ship supplied by a friend for the experiment should have been overhauled and thoroughly searched, and kept under the charge of persons in no way con nected with the experimentalist, or interested in his suecess. Lord Ingestre certifies that the explosion was not from aay combustible matter on board or alongside, but he does not acquaint the House what measures he took to satisfy himself on these two points ; and his voucher that the vessel was not destroyed in that way perhaps rests on no better grounds of proof than the assertion that she was sunk by projectiles. Captain Warner's invention may be all that he re presents it, but the experiment to prove it -so has not been fairly tried. To have conducted it satisfactorily there should have been no communication between Captain Warner and the vessel to be 'destroyed. She should have been placed out of the hands of the persons interested in the success of the experiment. She should have been brought to her station, and the experimentalist, without any opportunity of commu nication, should have proceeded to prove the power of his invention. Instead of this, what was done ? The barque which came from the eastward was towed to the westward of Brighton, to Shoreham roads. Why,was she not brought up in Brighton roads, or, if it was p re f erre d to bring her u p o ff a port (why, in fine summer weather, we cannot comprehend), the most natural course was to have brought up off .I.\ ewhaven, and with the ebb (which was against her, as matters were arranged) she would have come off Brighton in a couple of hours. We advert to these points because things were so managed as to make it necessary to take the barque in tow, Captain Warner being on board the towing steamer, and having the vessel he was to operate against snugly at his disposal under his stern. It is not thus that enemies are blown up. When Captain Warner has an enemy in tow, he will take good care not to blow her up. It may be excellent to catch birds by putting salt on their tails, but when you have caught your bird you spare your salt. With a vessel in tow it is obviously easy to drift anything against her side, or to have other means of communication beside that of the tow-line. Why, then, was there the towing so liable to sus picion? As we have before remarked, the barque might as well have been anchored off Brighton as taken past to Shorthorn to be towed back again. Or even when off Shoreham, she might have been got under weigh on the flood tide, so as to have come to her station in due time at Brighton. But no, they waited for the contrary tide (keeping the public waiting too, long after the appointed time), as if expressly to make the necessity for' the towing. 'We do not wonder at the impatience of Lord Brougham at these dilatory manceuvres. lt is flippantly re marked that he could not make allowance for the adverse tide, but why did they take care to wait till the tide was contrary ? Enough has' been done,' however; to warrant, nay, to demand, an experiment at any necessary cost, con ducted in a different way, so as to be clear of all the suspicions which attach to the recent trial. Let the Admiralty devote one of their many worth less. old ships to this useful purpose, and in the mere destruction of some of them there would be a benefit to the service ; let well-selected officers, not partial advocates of the alleged invention, have the custody of the vessel up to the time that she is brought to her station, and let Captain Warner, without any towing, show what he can do against a ship favouring his ex periment more than enough in being helplessly adrift, and not thanteuvring as an enemy would be, to avoid or baffle hiS operations. As for the ex losion, it seems to have been very, complete, and Os a mere coup de theatre nothing could be more successful. But the main point is not the explosion, but the means of erecting it. flare is not a doubt, that with access to St. Paul's for the skilful employment of combustibles, it might be blown into the air in the twinkling of in eye ; but the question would be,.whether this could be done by an engineer who did' not approach within half-a-mile of the building. Besides the mole of settling the question of Captain Warner's inventioa by another and 'fairer experiment, there is only one other course, namely that of getting the secret from Alexis in a state of clairvoyance.-- Examiner. SUMMER ASSIZES. 4* WE STERN CIR C 1 T.--;E.reter, •July 25. (Before Mr. Justice Wratermax.) Wilmot Manning, a girl between fourteen and fifteen y4ars of age, was indicted for setting fire to a dwelling-house, some person being therein, on the 10th of May last. Mr. Cornish conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Rowe pe fended the prisoner. It appeared that .the prisoner was apprenticed by he parish to the prosecutor, who was, a small farmer, residi4 in the county of Devon. On the m o r n i n g o f t h e 1 0t h of ay the prosecutor went' ouf, leaving the prisoner and Frances Conybeare in his hoese. The- latter was sitting at Work in the kitchen, about eleven in the morning. She smelt fire, and asked the prisoner, who was in and out aboutler"Work, what it was. The prisoner replied • that she did no t know. She went out and soon.returned; then said she had burnt her ap and that the pig-honie WAS on fire. The witness tan out and saw the pig-house. in flames, which communicated to the dwelling-house, and all the premises, were burnt down. The prisoner had 'afterwards told her master that she had Set a rag on fire and taken it out in her apron, and had then blown it un and put it in a bundle of furze near the pig h'ouse. The prisoner had told another person that she in tended to injure no one but her master. Mr. ROWE having addressed the jury for the prisoner, The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury acquitted the prisoner. Her father begged to be allowed•to take - her home at once. Mr. Justice WI a:max said he might do so, but that iihe had had a very narrow escape. Jane'Retherton was indicted for setting fire to a haystack, the property of the Rev. Samuel Winter Poem, Mr. Kekewich prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. RoWe. By the evidence it appeared that the prisoner's husband had been sent to prison for some act by the proscutor in this present ease. He was lying in gaol - in , the latter end; cf March and the beginning of April. At this time Mr. Peatse had a sale of some farming stock, in- -the evening of which day the prisoner came to the house of a witness, who. began talking about the sale. In the course of the conversation tit, witness remarked that the old hay-rick had not been sold. Prisoner replied she-wished the hay-rick was burnt, and she would be the one to help to do it. On thank& of the 2dof April, a farther was returning to hishOMe about half-past ten o'clock. He met the prisoner about eight land yards from the prosecutor's rick. He knew - her perfectly, as she had lived with him as a servant. He did not, however, speak , to her, bit passed on. Ina moment he saw the flames rising from the rick when he galled os the prisoner to stop. Instead'of attending;to this call she, took to her heels and ran. He- immediately followed after her, and when he , was just about to overtake her, she began to scream. He came up and asked her why she had not stopped, and whether she- had seen the fire ? She replied she had not. He then said, " This is shocking work,' ; and left her to call up Mr. Pearse. which he did. She was also seen ant of her house, though, as it appeared, a somewhat ditrernt direction, by another person. On examin ing round the tick a box of matches was found. Jr. kowE addressed the jury for the prisoner, and called two respectable women, who swore that about -half an hour before they heard the cry of" Fire I" they had been with the prisoner in the house of one of them, which was exactly op posite her own. They saw her leave the house and go into her own; and when the cry of " Fire" took place they looked out of their windows, and both of them' saw her looking out of hers, undressed and ready for bed.

Mr. TRAILL, on being apprised that Martin's wife had the stolen articles at home, she was sent for to produce them, and, in the meantime, the prisoners were put back until her arrival. . rIP StIN, I_,ONAO,N3, MON-DAY MORING, JULY 29, 1E144 LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOILLBURN.) ROE V. BLACHFORD. The above case, which was ordered for to-day, was not gone into, and the further examination will riot, tl.e efore, take place at present. IN THE MATTER OF MONTEFIORE AND MONTEFIORE. This being the day appointed for the granting of the bankrupt's certificate, the case was called on at twelve o'clock, when Mr. Chambers appeared for the bankrupts, Mr. Bramwell for Mr. De Castro and Mr. Lucas, two of the assignees, as well as the great body of the creditors. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Miller attended to oppose the bankrupts, on the part of the other assignees, Messrs. A. A. Goldsmid and Mr. Ward. Mr. EdvviirJames said that he was there to oppose the bankrupts on the part of Mr. Goldsmid and Mr. Ward, two of .the assignees ; and as he knew that his Learned Friend, Mr. Bramwell, would perhaps urge that bis clients were actuated by factious motives, he (Mr. James) would, with his Honour's permission, state in what particular manner the assignees, De Castro and Lucas, were connected with the bankrupts. The first was a creditor for the sum of 4,0001., and the bankrupts had given him a preference to that amount. The second was brother in•law to one of the bankrupts. The state of affairs in the present case was by no means flourishing. The probability was, that the assets in the schedule would not pay more than 3d. in the pound, and the se parate estates would yield at most 2s. 6d. ; for while the amount of the liabilities was 42,4884 the sum to be realised was only 1,500/. The bankrupts carried on business in London, in Sydney, and in Hobart Town, as he would prove to his Honour, in the most reckless manner. They failed in January, 1841, but offered no composition, simply requesting that time might be given them. To this the creditors at once as sented, and they executed a deed, agreeing that that a period of three years should be allowed in order that the bankrupts might overcome their difficulties. In that period certain circumstances took place which would, he trusted, disincline the Court to grapt their certificates, or if it did grant them, to annex conditions calculated to do the creditors justice at a-remote period, which the bankrupts seemed willing to overlook now. In August, 1843, a fiat was struck against Joseph Montefiore, and is the February of the following year a joint fiat was taken out against the two. Thus he (Mr. James) would observe, the means of strictly in vestigating the bankrupts' affairs were hardly afforded, because they, having houses in Hobart Town and Syd ney, and only nine months elapsing from the date of tt.e fiat to the passing that Court, it was perfectly imposeible that the creditors could have any means of satisfying themselves as to the correctness of the schedule. He would now direct the attention of the Court to the pose tion of Mr. Goldsmid, his client, and one of the, as signees, with respect to the bankrupts. In 1839 the bank rupts were indebted to Mr. Goldsmid in the sum of 20,000/, for which they gave a bond. They must have been then, he was almost justified in supposing, con. scions of their insolvent condition, for it was only by taking 35,000/. in debts as good, which, in 1844, were proved hopelessly bad, that they could imagine them selves solvent. He would next point out to his Honour their mode of dealing with some property in the colo nies. Just twelve days after giving Mr.Goldsmid the bond for 20,000/., they executed contemporaneously a post. nuptial settlement in favour of their wives, but in this set • Clement they reserved a life interest for themseli4s. What did they do at the period of bankruptcy in 1841 ?; In January of that year they stopped, and in August they revoked their life interest in the property, and gage'to their wives the priority. It was stated in one of rbeir private letters to be worth 400/. a-year, and he con tended that in common justice the creditors ought to have had the benefit of such property. There wasi an other transaction which, in his opinion, did no credit to the character of an English merchant. Mr. Joseph Montefiore was in the colonies in 1841, and it appeared sold farming stock, on what was called, the Wellington land, for 8,500/. This was in the interval during which their creditors had extended. to t them: the indulgence of time, and how were they treated? Mr. Joseph brought home in th e whole 5,1001., being there fore minus 3,400/., which they (the creditors) under stood was settled on a Miss Sheepland there. That pas all they knew of it. The Learned Counsel then lead selections from letters passing between the partners,one of which was—" You will see that I have written in a par ticular strain,a sort ofpolitical mode, as that fellow must see it." Such were the flattering terms in which they spoke of his client Mr. Goldsmid, to whom they were indebted 20,0001., and with whom they were incensed because he did not advance another 40,000/. He would continue the extract—" as well as the general body of our cre ditors." Was this the integrity that their creditors should expect at their hands ? The Learned Counsel then adverted.to the preference evinced towards Mr.i de Castro's claim, and concluded a powerful address] by calling on the Hon. Commissioner not to grant their certificates. Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the Court at great length. The present application was a most important one, !and would materially affect the character of the bankrupts, whose transactions had been extensive, and who had hitherto maintained an unsullied reputation. Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN, in giving his opinion, took a review of the case (having previously called on the official assignee to state his opinion on 11. e conduct of the bankrupts since the fiat was issued). He held that the bankrupts had passed through the ordeal to which they had been subjected without reproach, and that they would leave the Court as unfortunate glen, with unscathed characters. The Learued Conan:Assigner said this case illustrated the benefit of placing ithe granting of a certificate in the hands of the Court, which was a decided improvement in the law. The bankrupts received their certificate. in a cupboard, where it lay till the constable called and took possession of it on the 1 1th of May. The letter found in the stockyard, being a half Ofeet a common writing paper, was compared with the half sheet left in the blacksmith's house, and found to correspond with it inquality,stamp, and a "jag," which had evidently been produced by the hasty operation of tearing them asunder. Besides these facts, the registrar of births, deaths, and marriages for the district, and the prose cutor, also identified the handwriting of the letter to be that of the prisoner, whom they had seen sign his name once. Mr. DASENT having addressed the jury on this evidence, His LORDSHIP left it to them to say whether the com position in question was a Threatening letter, and was written by the prisoner. If they should find these questions in the affirmative, it would be then their duty to say whether they thought it was intended to be sent to the prosecutor, and if so, then their verdict ought to be one of guilty. The jury, after a deliberation of half an hour or so, re turned a verdict of guilty.—Sentence deferred. (Before Mr. Baron AnDEnsox.) Joseph Barrett, aged 31, was indicted for having set fire to a dwelling-house, cow-house, granary, and other buildings, the property of Rebecca Jones and others, the executors and trustees of Samuel Jones, deceased. Mr. PRENDERGAST opened the case to the jury for the prosecution, and from his statement it appeared that the fire in question broke out about one o'clock in the night of the 7th of May, which consumed the whole of the building's attached to the premises of the prosecutors, at Great Thur low, in this county. In order to bring home to the prisoner the perpetration of the outrage, a variety of witnesses were called, who deposed that so far back as the month of October last, he had a quarrel with the "old gentleman," which pro duced the most angry feeling on the part of the prisoner towards Mr. Jones, who was the poor-law guardian, and was as well as every other member of his family, highly esteemed and revered in the parish, of which the prisoner was an in-• habitant. Not long before the death of the old gentleman, it seemed that the prisoner had applied at the farm-house for work, without success. •On the next night, just as the folks were a--bed, he and his wife again called, and demanded " a home," in a tone of great energy. Upon this Mr. Jones went to speak to him on the improprietv of his conduct, but was met with a threat of a "warming," adding, "Joe Barrett won't name any names, sci you won't catch him up, but you'll have one." Upon this, he went away, but returned on the next day, when a personal rencontre took place between the guardian and the pauper, who was given in charge, and committed to prison for two months for the assault. During his incarceration Mr. Jones died, and nothing more was heard of the prisoner ; but when the fire occurred suspicion fell on him, and many people recollected his having used a variety of threats and deeiarations of hostility towards the family of the Joneses, which they now repeated in open Court. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, entered into a long and very consistent account of his proceedings on the night in question, and accounted for himself by saying that having left the Crown tap at a seasonable hour, he went home to his father's house, in a yard belonging to which he, his wife, and , a child occupied a heap of straw, piled up in a hovel. There, he said, be fell asleep till the cry of " fire" aroused him, and he got up as fast as he could, and when dressed he waited for his father, whom he called to corrobo rate this statement. , The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. George Davey, aged 13, and Robert Feakes, aged 11, were charged with having wilfully and feloniously set fire to a portion of a wood called the Fir Wood, in the parish of Stanton, the property of William Taylor, on the afternoon of the 15th of June last. Mr. Gordon prosecuted the prisoners, who were undefended. From the statement of the prosecutors and others it ap peared that the two boys were out in a field near the Fir Wood, and that smoke having been seen to rise from that parf'neat to whiCl they were, a cry was raised, and pursuit immediately set on foot. The lads fled across the fields as fast as their legs could carry them, but were soon overtaken, when they asserted they had set the wood on fire "by acci dent," while playing hard by, and trying to make a little bonfire out of some dry grass. On investigation, however, it appeared thitt they had collected a quantity of this grass in the field, and heaped it up against the underwood. They had not long been incustody before theyshifted their ground, whether from fright or treachery, and began to accuse each other of having done the deed wilfully, and of haring in cited its commission. The result was that they were both committed for trial, and when the site of the fire was searched a little "home-made" cannon was found, consisting of a piece •of iron piping fastened on to a wooden handle. Whether this instrument was used by them as a mere toy, or as a means of setting fire to the wood designedly, did not appear. When called on for their defence to-day, the lads both said that they did ft without intent; but the jury, after a patient inquiry, entertained a somewhat different opinion, for though they acquitted the younger prisoner, they found the elder, on whom some lucifer matches had been found, guilty. Sentence was deferred on this case also. Joh n IVoods, aged 16, pleaded guilty to a charge of setting fire to a quantity of growing furze, at Nacton, the property of Mark Majora, on the 15th of June. Mr. GUNNING, on the part of the prosecutor, begged to re commend the youthful incendiary to mercy. He had always borne a good character hitherto.—Sentence deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A grey headed :old man, named James Thompson Irvine, who, it was evident, had seen prosperous days,ap plied to Sir John Key by letter, which stated his melan choly case to the following effect : In the year 1804, the applicant rented the premises No. 56, Wood-street, Cheapside, of Messrs. Samuel and John Painter, of Coleman -street, at the rent of 60/., anti also paid. 301/. for the lease.. In that year he consigned goods to Messrs. Kilpatrick and Brothers, Hamburgh, to 'the amount of 3,6001, the whole of which were taken pos session of by Marshal Diwoust, when he entered Ham- burgh, by order of Napoleon, and confiscated the pro perty of all the English merchants who traded there. The consequence was, that the applicant, and numbers of others, were ruined by the merciless plunderer. He became a bankrupt, and for a length of time he endea voured to support himself and his family by the sale of various articles of haberdashery, but the state of trade was such as to render• all his efforts that way unavail ing. His wife had, in consequence of her intense anxiety for the welfare of her children, been visited with a dreadful mental malady, and had been six years an in mate of a lunatic asylum in Bethnal•green, and the four children were thus deprived of her maternal care and attention. After a further statement of afflictions, the unfortunate applicant referred to Messrs. Hall, English, and Gutch, of No. 50, King William -street, as gentle• men who were able and willing to authenticate the de tail' of his distresses and deplorable cause of them. Sir Jons KEY `gave a sovereign to the poor man, whose condition was greatly to be pitied, and said that in all probability some kind-hearted persons, who might through the usual humane channels of intelligence, be come acquainted with the reverse of fortune occasioned by the unavoidable event, would help a poor sufferer in his extremity. whom he was advised to give him in charge, and as he repeated his visit on Friday he was taken into custody. A gentleman connected with the same office proved he was well acquainted with the defendant for some time, and whenever he made his appearance he seemed in a most excited state, fancying that the complainant had been his enemy, in having his name erased from the pension list. Since the complainant left Chelsea he made several inquiries, and in consequence of his general manner, witness thought it necessary to put his friend upon his guard, for he said he would find him out wherever he went. In answer to the Court, Mr. Dasell declared he daily went in fear of the defendant, from his generally excited manner. The defendant said the complainant on a farmer occt sion accused him of cowardice and desertion, which, being false, affected him deeply, for he had served with credit through the whole of the Peninsular war ,in. which he had been disabled, and he denied having ever used any threat. Mr. TWYFORD ordered him to put in bail, himself in 60/, and two sureties in 301, each, to keep the peace for the next three months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Hugh Grady, a person holding a situation in the Jews'-garden at Chiswick, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having indecently expoed his person to several young► women in Kensington-garden,. The charge was fully proved by two nurse-maids, Sarah Pearce and Elizabeth Drury. The fellow exposed himself three times to them, and he was given into cus tody as soon as they could communicate his filthy c )n -duct to a constable. The prisoner said he was well known to the nobility and gentry. He had an unfortunate convlaint upon him, which obliged him to seek relief in an expeditious manner, and this had most probably led to the mist,,ke into which the young women had fallen. A third witness, however, came forward, and put the matter beyond doubt that the exposure was intentional. Mr. ItairDwicx sent the prisoner to the treadmill for three months. Mr. Picnot, the proprietor of the Bedford Hotel, Bear street, was summoned, at the instance of the police, for permitting disorderly conduct in his house. The charge was proved by Inspector Beresford, who said that persons were fighting in the house and caus ing much disturbance. The landlady said, it was impossible to prevent bad charactt-rs from occasionally coming into the house. The hotel was conducted in the most respectable way, and if any disturbance did occur, the most prompt means were resorted to, in order to expel the disturbers. Inspector Beresford said the inhabitants had com plained of the way in which the house was conducted, and he had good reason fur saying that, if a better sys tem was not adopted it was probable the Magistrates would suspend the license. Mr. HARDWICK inflicted the fine of 41. and costs. LAMBETH-STREET. Jacob Michael, a well-dressed Jew, who was described as a general dealer at North Shields, was placed within the felons' bar, before Mr. Norton, on a charge of con spiracy, with Simon Simmons (at present in custody), in ootaining goods to the amount of nearly 60/. from Mr. J. N. Hart, of the firm of Hart and Son, watchmakers and jewellers, of King-street, Finsbury, by fraud and false pretences. After a very protracted discussion, the prisoner was ordered to find bail for his appearance at this Court to-day, when Simmons will be, brought, up for further examination. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.—The trade of last week has been regular, but without animation. The proposed alterations in the sugar duties have been suffi cient to unsettle the business, to the loss of the importer, without any sufficient benefit to the consumer to co:npen sate fur the change. The notice that further changes are contemplated next session of Parliament, leaves every thing in a state of uncertainty, injurious to all panies ; first to those who, not already in the sugar business, will not move until they know on what they may cal culate, and consequently to the consumers in the de lay of those arrangements, from which a larger supply might be expected; producing the extraordinary state of things that, in England, with an increasing popu lation, and, as it is urged, increasing wealth, the consump tion is, to say the least, not increasing, while the contrasy is the fact in other countries. Also, consequent on this state of things, is the appearance of the Brazilian tariff, making so large an increase of the duties on manufactures as greatly to reduce our exports, unless we will admit their exports on more equitable duties. In other articles of colonial produce, the transactions are on a limited scale, which throws the whole weight of holding on the importer, and prevents any buoyancy in prices. An active business is doing generally in the manufacturing districts, and has i ncrease d since the rain has giv en h opes of a large crop of wheat and otherwise improved the appearance of the spring crops. The farmers will probably find this season as last, that the sliding scale will cause the payment of high duties on grain set at liberty when they would least wish this to be the case, and forcing sales from the disproportioned amount of capital required to pay the duties, as compared with the import cost of the article. If the harvest is well secured, we may reasonably look for a steady home trade. Our exports to forei i .,n markets may continue on a respectable scale to some quarters, but to others the prospects are not encouraging. Money continues abundant, yet the general uncertainty prevents that commercial activity which such a state of things might be expected to produce.. It is remarkable how general the feeling seema to. be amongst the consu mers not to stock themselves largely with the raw ma terial. A general impression seems to prevail that the tendency of the new Bank Bill will be to restrict the currency obstinately ; and that any circumstance which caused a draw upon the Bank for bullion, would, to a certainty, be productive of severe pressure on the coun try. This dead-weight feeling is only to be removed by those measures which would divert the drain upon the Bank to a drain upon the unrestricted industry and energies of the country.--Liverpool JournaL FOREIGN' WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JULY 26.—We have no material change to report in the foreign wool trade this week. The demand continues brisk, and the amount of sales effected has been considerable. Prices, too, are buoyant, with a tendency upwards. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JULY 26.—Sales of combing and clothing wools progress steadily, and to a moderate extent. Prices are very firm and tending upwards ; but still are nut such as to allow a profit on the rates asked hy_the growers for the new clip. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JULY 26.—T0 meet the advance in all growing districts, higher prices are sought by the staplers, which consumers are not yet dis posed to pay, consequently there has been little done; at old prices, a large business would have been done. The de mand keeps good. for all short wools, and stocks are light in the market. • - YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 2 5.—There was not much business 'doing' this day, the show o f woo l being very small, a n d th e buyers few in number. Prices were as follows:,—Good lots of hog and ewe, 145., 14s, ed. to 155.; locks and cots, 9s. 6d. to 11s. per stone. Fur moor wool there appeared a dull sale at 78. to 7s. 6d. The buyers and sellers have determined to attend once a fortnight for the remainder of the present season. LEEDS.—The markets at both our halls have been very brisk both on Saturday and Tuesday ; after the market of the latter day the stocks on hand were lighter than we have seed them for a long time. Goods of low qualities are a shade higher, but fine qualities are without any alteration, although the stocks are exceed- 1 ingly low. There have been a larger'number of buyera in the market this week than for a long time NIA, and their purchases have been heavy in low priced goods. The snipping houses also are busier than usual at this period, consequently more than an average business he,s been done in finished goods (luring the week. BRADFORD, TR uRSDAY.—The demand for merino 3, moreens, and all other worsted goods, continues to im prove, and are firm in price. In other goods there is no marked alteration. Yarns are a mere ready salo, and the prices very firm at a shade advance, There has been rather more wool changing hand s during the, week, and as the spinners have been buying cautiously tor some time past, it is more than probable the dereend and prices may alike be permanent. The prices demanded in the country continue to rule beyond what can be nf, forded to bring to market. UL. Henry Shillingswortl V h, lON-HA a butc L her in St. George's Market, was charged with wantonly and cruelly cutting off the tail of a pig, denominated the " Learned Pig," which has been for some time exhibited about the town in a caravan. William Manley stated that he was a showman, and was the owner of a very extraordinary pig, _which he exhibited, and which was the chief maintenance of his family. On Thursday last, he sent his little daughter to give the animal an airing after a long confinement in the van, and, as she led it with a chain to its neck round St. George's Market, on passing the defendant's slaughter-house, he cut its tail off with a large knife. The complainant here exhibited the tail, which appeared to have been sliced off close to the poor pig's haunches. The complainant added that the Mendant acknow ledged to a man named Randall that he committed the act, saying that he was urged to it by a Mr. Bennett, who defied him to touch the pig's tail. Mr. TRAILL asked the defendant what he had to say in answer to the charge, which was one that exhibited great cruelty towards a poor dumb animal ? The defendant said that, as he was going into the slaughter house, the pig was in his way ; he happened to have a knife in his hand, and, intending to strike it with the blunt edge of it, he, by mistake, struck it with the sharp edge, and cut off its tail. He declared that he had no intention to. maim the pig, and that it was quite an accident. . . Mr. 'Nana, asked the complainant's daughter whether she believed the defendant had cut off the pig's tail acci dentally ? The witness replied in the negative : that she was leading the pig along gently, with the chain round its neck, and just as she was passing the shingle ter-house the defendant ran to the pig, and stooping down, cut off its tail. Mr. TRAILL—What did he do then ? Witness—lre burst out laughing when he saw the tail on the ground. The pig began to squeak most terribly. I was frightened, and ran off to my father, and told him what had hap pened. Mr. TRAILL—Did you say anything to the defendant when he acted with such brutality? Witness—Yes. I exclaimed, .”,Ah, you have cut off poor Toby's tail, and you'll catch it from my father."—(Laughter.) I tOek Toby with me, squeaking all the way and bleeding, but I left his tail behind me on the ground, and it was after wards brought home by'a little boy. The defendant called a Mr. Bennett for the purpose of proving that the pig's tail was accidentally cut off, but this attempt to disprove the charge completely failed. Mr. TRAILL asked the complainant what value be put upon the pig ? The showman replied that it was inva luable to him ; that it was capable of performing many curious tricks, and was a source of considerable profit to him by its exhibition. Mr. TRAILL—Your pig was distinguished by its intel lectual qualifications, therefore it won't suffer much by the lois of its tail. You can exhibit as usual, can't you ? Showman—The pig is so disfigured by the want of a tail that I ata afraid he won't be so popular with the public as be•was before.-:-(Laughter.) Mr. TRAILL—What are the tricks he performs ? Showman—He would tell the hour of the day by the cards—would tell young women's fortunes, and intimate by the cards the number of children they are likely to have when married, and (Laughter.) Mr. TRAILL—That will d o . I have heard quite enough of Toby, the learned pig. The act committed by the defendant was cruel in the extreme, and deserves severe reprehension. MANCHESTER, TRURSDAY EVENING. —We have had a large business in cloth this week, and since Tuesday the demand appears to be on the inuraase. The consequeng® is a slight improvement in most descriptions, with a cer tainty of prices further advan c i ng , i f even the present demand only continues. The hntus trade, now that a fine harvest is almost certain, continues to improve deed the demand is unprecedented. Twist is the turn dearer ;no stouks of export, nu m b ers -- and many spin tiers are refusing to contr ac t at present rates.—Leed4 Mercury. QUARTERLY TABLE OF MOR TALIT Y. The Quarterly Returns are obtained from 115 dis tricts, „sub-divided into 576 sub.distriets. Thirty-four districts are placed under the metropolis, and the maining eighty-one districts comprise, with some agri, cultural districts, the prinripal townii and cities of Eng land. The population was 6,578,912 in 1841. The deaths registered in the last quarter (ending June 30) amounted to 38,925, which is less by 7,116 than the deaths in the previous quarter, and 1,283 loss than the average of the corresponding spring quarter in the five years (1838-42).
