' ja.g&t, 4 1V IV 73 , THE BRAEMAR HIGHLAND GATHERING. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) This annual Highland gathering, which was ori ginally fixed to take place last week, but which, at the request of her Majesty, was postponed until this day (Thursday, the 12.'1), came off with more than usual eclat. _ _ _ The weather was really F 124 n d id, and at an early hour the grounds in the vicinity of Braemar Castle began to assume a very gay and animated appearance. Precisely at three o'clock the carriages, containing the Queen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and other members of the Royal Family and suite, arrived at the Castle, immediately followed by one containing her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Prince Leiningen, and their suite. For a considerable distance from the Castle the road was lined with Highlanders, and as her M ijesty drove up she received a right hearty Highland wel come. At the Castle gate her Majesty was received by the Duke of Leeds, Mr. Farquhrrson, of Inver cauld, G-ineral the Hon. Sir Alexander Duff, and Captain Forbes, and conducted to a seat which com manded the best view of the animated scene before her. The usual games of " putting" the stone, throwing the hammer, tossing the caber, &c., then commenced, and seemed to afford her Majesty great amusement; but that which seemed to give the greatest satisfaction not only to the Queen, but to all present, was the foot race to the top of the high and remarkably steep hill which faces the Castle. Eighteen stalwart High landers started and mounted the steep aclivity in fine style, and the desperate struggle between several of the men as they ran or rather scrambled up the bill, afforded infinite satisfaction to all the lovers of High land sports and pastimes. • After this race her Majesty and the rest of the Royal Family entered the Castle, and witnessed the dancing of Highland reels, Strathspeys, and the sword dance. The latter difficult one was executed by a son of Mr. Farquharson's, of Invercauld, in a very neat manner, and seemingly highly satisfactory to her Majesty. Shortly after this the Royal Family drove off for Balmoral, amidst the deafening cheers of the Highlanders and all present. A ball in the evening concluded the amusements, and was attended by most of the nobility and gentry resident in the country. Among the company on the esplanade of the Castle, exclusive of her Majesty and suite, and the retinue of her Royal Highness the Duchess of K'nt, were the Duke and Duchess of Leeds and the Misses Lane Fox, General the lion. Sir Alexander Duff and Lady Duff, James Farquharson, Esq., of Invercauld, Mrs. Farquharson and family, Brook, Esq. and Mrs. Brook, J. L. Ricardo, E , q., M.P., and Mrs. Ricardo, James Duff, Esq., M.P., and Lady Agnes Duff, George S. Duff, Esq., M.P., &c., &c. FRANCE. We find the following in the Consfitutionnel:—" In the absence of political events, attempts are made to circulate among the public, and more particularly at the Bourse, fake ❑ews, which are afterwards turned to account with more or less skill. At one time it is tha illness of the President of the Republic, at an other it is the sale of the Rentes arising from the savings banks. For the last few days the talk bas princically been of the issue of Rentes of the Colonial Indemnity, which were brought in abundance on the market, and forced down the prices of the public finds. The true state of the case is this :—There has not been yet a single title of rente delivered for the Colonial Indemnity, and consequently none could have been brought on the mlrket ; and, we may add, that in consequence of the preliminary and necessary f irtnalities, some time will yet elapse before the rentes awarded to the colonists can be delivered." We read in the Republique :—" The 2d company of the 2d battalion of the 21 legion of the National Guard had yesterday to elect several officer;. Th e reactionists, faithful to their tactics, were intriguing for several days to defeat the democratical candidates. They did everything to prevent the workmen from voting, but they failed completely. The democratical Republicans obtained a great majority. Citizen Binet was elected first captain; Citizen Husson lieutenant ; Gosselin sub-lieutenant; Dechavannes sub-lieutenant ; Chopin fourrier, &e. The royalists of the second arrondissement are, it is said, in con sternation at thi, triumph." The Journal de Toulouse says that the President of the Republic is about to visit that city. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the B'h have arrived. The liaraid° gives the following as the complete result of the elections :—Conservatives re-:elected 160, Cooserva'ives newly elected 130, Progressists re elected 10, ditto newly elected 4, double elections of moderates 19, ditto of Progres: , :sts 1, elections of the B derean and Canary Islands not yet known, 13, elections null, on account of no candidate having ob tained the necessary majority, 12; total, 349. The ' moderate opposition, 41 in number, consisting of the dissident moderates and (,f what are called the Puri tans, have not obtained a single re-election. The ge neral result is an un-xsmpled success for the M nis tees A party. Count de Pursonrostro, Grandee of Spain and Senator of the kingdom, died on the 7th. Tnere were new rumours of modifications in the Ministry being intended on the return of General Narvaez. The Bth being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. GERMANY. Accounts from Hesse-Cassel of the 9th state that great agitation existed, but there had been no rising against the Government. The New Gazette of Hew, a violent opposition journal, continues to ap pear in spite of the prohibition of the Ministry, and as its numbers could no longer he distributed by post, employed men to carry them out. The chief tribunal of Cassel had ordered the state procurator to take means of preventing the unconstitutional acts of the Government. The Communal Council of Cassel has publiAled a protest against the violation of the con stitution. The Grand Duke of Hesse DArmstadt has issued a decree, extending for enolher y(ar the decree of S..r. 1849, against the abuses of the liberty of po pular meetings. Letters from Cassel of the 10th inst., in the Kolner Zeitung, state that the Chief Court of the Rectorate of Hessen has pronounced against the decree of the 7th instant, and against the late military measures which the Cabinet has thought proper to take. It is now to ba seen whether the miltary will be made to act in opposition to a judicial verdict, but it is ge nerally believed that the Chief Court will be sus pended in all its functions. The Cabinet his en deavoured to impeach and procure the attachment of the Members of the Permanent Committee (of the Diet), but the Staats Procurator (Crown Advocate) has refused to take up the impeachment. AI. II i4senpflug, who, owing to some want in the customary formalities, is not yet in custody, has summoned the four Commissioners of Police of the city of Cassel to place themselues at his disposi tion, but it is thought that the police will decline accepting the propoial. Toe papers, which were suppressed by the military commander, have since appeared, though without licenses. DENMA RK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter fr m Hamburgh of the 10th, in the In dependance Beige, says :—" Some fighting took place these last two days in Sehleawig, on the right and left wings of the two armies; whilst on the Bth, the centre of the Holstein army made a forward move ment beyond Breeckendorf to Jagel : its right wing, attacked by superior forces, was obliged to retreat, but having received reinforcements of several bat talions, assumed the offensive by repulsing the Danes as far as the walls of Eckernfurde. At the same time its left wing was attacked by six Danish bat talions near Suderstapel. The Holstein troops, forced to retreat, received successively reinforcements by the arrival of several battalions, and at last drove back the Danes as far as their entrenchments of Schwabstedt. These two affairs led to no result, and the two armies returned in the evening to their respective positions. The first corps of the Holstein Chasseurs appears to have suffered much ; nine carts transported the wounded to Heiden. The Chamber of Representatives of the duchies, con voked at Kiel for the 9th, was opened by a speech from Cuunt Reventlow, member of the Lieutenancy- General. The Count announced to the representa tives that all attempts at peace with Denmark had successively failed, that power wanting to destroy by force of arms the independence and national rights of the two duchies. By the arrival of volunteers from all parts of Germany, the army was at present stronger than before the battle of Idstedt. The Lieutenancy- General took no part in the deliberations at Fr.,nk fort, and was not in offieial relations a ith any foreign power : the duchies being free from all foreign engagement, were decided to vindicate to the last extremity by arms alone the justice of their cruse, and to maintain their national rites. By periodical gifts in objects of value and money from tl e German populations, the public treasury had been providtd with means of continuing the war ; but in the impos sibility of foreseing the end, the Lieutenancy-General reckoned on the patriotism of the Chamber to accord it all the subsidies necessary for the consolidation of the national independence. Although Schleswig is at present incorporated in fact with the kingdom of Denmark, all the deputies elected in that province have come to sit in the Chamber at Kiel. The for mer President, M. Burguin, has been re-elected al most unanimously. It is the same person whose ardent democratical opinions and violent diatribes, from his President's seat, against all the crowned deg,- pots of Europe, I pointed out to your notice in 1849:' ITALY. The provincial council of Ivrea in Piedmont has almost unanimously voted au address to the King, praying for the confiscation of Church property, and the abolition of convents. We learn by a letter from Florence that the death of Sir George Hamilton, the British Minister to the Court of Tuscany, took place at the Villa Normanby, the residence of Sir George Hamilton, during the night of the 3d inst. The immediate cause of death was the rupture of a blood-vessel in the chest, and the violence of the attack rendered the prompt assistance of his physician, Dr. Harding, and Professor Z snetti, who was called in, totally unavailing. Sir G. Hamilton had long suffered from a pulmonary complaint, but no immediate apprehensions were entertained of so sud den a termination of his life, as during the last year his health had materially improved, and within a few hours of his death he transacted his official duties as usuil. He expired in the presence of his brother, Mr. Charles Hamilton, Lady Caroline Hamilton, his niece the Comtesse de Roubion, and her humband, Count de Roubion, and the Hon. Mr. Campbell Scarlett, her Majesty's Secretary of Legation at Florence. Sir George Hamilton's death is much lamented at Florence, not only by his own family, his servants, and those who were dependent upon him, but by all classes of society who knew him. The Costituzionale of Florence of the 6th quotes letters from Naples stating that seven generals of the army of the Two Sicilies have been dismissed from the service, and that many employes of the customs have also lost their places. The Giornale di Roma of the 4th announces offi cially that his Holiness has named a commission for the purpose of establishing the rules to be followed by the manufacturers of Rome desirous of sending arti• Iles of their own to the London exhibition. The com mission is also to ex Amine the articles intended for the exhibition, and to decide whether they are worth sending to London. The commission is composed of nine members—Prince Caetani is their president. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT GAL THE AERONAUT. (LATEST PARTICULARS.) The Courrier de la Gironde of 'Wednesday gives the following details of the death of Lieutenant Gale : —" Mr. Gale, who ascended from Vincennes, at a quarter past six, descended at a quarter past seven in the commune of Cestas, on a narrow spot of ground situated between the property of M. Palauque and that of M. Balguerie. Seven or eight peasants, who were at work in the neighbourhood, ran and laid hold of the balloon, the grapnel of which had caught hold of a fir tree. In a few moments the balloon was lying quietly on the ground, and the horse was disengaged. The legs of the poor animal were completely be numbed, and it immediately lay down. It scam afterwards, however, recovered itself, and rising up, began to eat the grass as if nothing had hap pened. At this moment the wind was blowing rather fresh, and the balloon, which the efforts of the peasants could scarcely restrain, having been freed from the weight of the horse, acquired a con siderable ascensional force. Mr. Gale, who was very quick in his movements and very impatient, wave di rections to the peasants which were but badly under stood by them as be spoke in English. The aeronaut had quitted the car, and was engaged in fastening some ropes of the balloon which had served to attach the horse, when, from some order misunderstood by the peasants, they let go the rope which held the balloon. The balloon thus freed, ascended in a perpendicular line, and the branch of the tree to which the grapnel had fastened broke. At this moment Mr. Gale, who was standing up, was thrown down into the bottom of the car by the shock. This fall, added to the escape of gas, caused by the prodigious ascensional force, must have stunned and suffocated the unfortunate man, for he was not seen to rise afterward?, and he was no more visible to the people assembled. The balloon, in this second ascen • stow, went about two miles, but what took place during this period no one can tell. A peasant of Cestas pretends that, as the balloon was passing over a fir grove, be distinguished the aeronaut lying down in the car, his head hanging over the side with the tongue protruding from the mouth, as if he hal been suffocated. If such be the case, a slight shock would be sufficient to have thrown him out of the car, and this account appears the more probable, as a hole was made in the bottom of the car through which Mr. Gale ascended when leaving the horse. We must, fur the sake of the truth, mention that, at the moment of his first ascent, Mr. Gale was not per fectly sober ; he had taken more than his usual quan tity of spirituous liquor, and his state of excitement was such that Mr. Clifford was alarmed, and proposed to ascend in his stead. This proposition was, how ever, rejected, and Mr. Clifford expre,sed his appre hension to several persons present. At eight o'clock the sae -in-law of M. Lestange found in a field the plume of white frathers with which the head of the horse had been ornamented, and which Mr. Gale had taken off it and stuck in his own cap. Oa receiving this information, some persons, Mr. Clifford amongst the number, went to the place where it was expected Mr. Gale would have come down in the commune of Cestrte, and after a lung search the balloon was found in a field be yond the Croix d'llinx still half full of teas. It was not torn, and everything was in its place, but no trace of the aeronaut could be fin=d (luring the evening. After some investigations, and as die night was far ad vanced, Mr. Clifford proposed to empty the balleon and to carry it back to Bordeaux, thinking that Mr. Gale, not seeing any one near at the time of his de scent, left the balloon to go in search of assistance in some of the houses near, and where be would stop for the night. Inquiries were, however, made at some cf the houses, but no one had seen him. On the follow ing day, Monday, the searches for him were resumed, hut without :avail. Yesterday the Procureur of the Republic received a letter from M. Pelanque stating that the body of the unfortunate man had been found on his estate at Cestas. It appeared that at break of day an inhabitant of the Commune in taking his cows to their pasture saw one of the animals proceed to a clump of ferns. and begin smelling at something lying there. He went to the spot, when he was horrified at seeing the body of a man, the face completely eaten away by dogs and wild animals, and the limbs in a broken and mutila'ed condition. The place where the body was found was upwards of a mile from where the balloon had been discovered. Information was immediately given to the proper authorities, and they proceed to the spot and drew up a procev verbal of the affair, and the body was carefully re. moved. At eight o'clock in the evening it was taken to Vincennes preparatory to its being in terred."—The Memorial Bordelais of the same day gives a somewhat different account of the cause of the death of Mr. Gale. It says :—" At nightfall Mr. Gale effected his descent between Pessac and Martignas. Ile hastened to release the horse from the ropes which attached it to the car, and by his expressive gestures (for he could not speak French) ho explained to the peasants who had assembled that they were to keep fast hold of the ropes which held the balloon. When he supposed that his wishes were understood, Mr. Gale again got into the car, in order to open the valves and empty the balloon as promptly as possible. Finding some part of the cordage impeded his move ment, he drew a long knife from his - pocket to cut it, when the peasants, not knowing the use he was going to make of the weapon, and alarmed at his excited manner, all at once let go their hold. The balloon, relieved from the weight of the horse and a portion of the ballast, then rose again with prodigious rapidity, carrying with it the unfortunate aeronaut suspended by his bands, which clutched one of the ropes. The position was frightful. Oaly the energy of despair could have prolonged it for a few instants. Mr. Gale no doubt must have soon lost his hold and fallen from a great height." THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) Mtraxsay EDUCITION.—The Rev. Robert Gleig, Chaplain-General to the Forces, has returned to his official duties at the Horse Guards, having completed his tour of inspection of the garrison and regimental schools and libraries in Sotland and Ireland. STAFF.—General Sir Willoughby Gordon, Bart., G C.B. and G C.H., Q ua rtermaster -General to the Forces, is on leave of absence at his seat in the Isle of Wight. ance with the terms of the contract, and perfect jus tice done to the soldier. DESERTIONS IN CANADA.—We regret to learn that desertion to a great extent has taken place amongst the troops stationed in Canada, and that some of the regiments are in consequence considerably reduced below the establishment of their effective strength. Recruiting is being actively carried on to fill up the deficiency in the numbers. WINCHESTER BARRACKS.—Workmen have been for some time employed scraping the stone-work of these barracks. The Ordnance are not often caught in expending money in decoration, but in this case upwards of 7001. is to be uselessly laid out on questionable decoration, for it is doubtful whether their appearance will be improved. Had half this sum been applied to the alteration of the antiquated windows, by the substitution of sashes for the pre sent swings, which admit little air to the small room, but prove most convenient resting places for thick crusts of dust, permanent benefit would have been conferred on the soldier, by tnibling him to enjoy light and air, from both of which he is now nearly debarred. ORDNANCE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. Surgeon Davis has obtained one month's leave of absence. Assistant Surgeon Donnell, M.D., expects to be re moved to Hong. Kong. The LATE ENSIGN CRooKE.—'We understand that the case of the late Ensign Crooke, of the 38th Re giment, has at last been fully brought under the at tention of the highest military authorities, so that it will now undergo a full and satisfactory investigation. THE LATE AFFAIR AT VVOOLWICEI ACADEMY.—A board of officers has been assembled at Carthalton, of which we believe Major-General Fanshawe, C. 8., Royal Engineers, was Prersident, and Colonel Jones, Royal Artillery, and Brevet Major Walpole, Royal Engineers, members, to investigate and report upon the case of three Gentlemen Cadets who were recently sent home to their respective families from the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. The friends of the young gentlemen were invited to be present. We understand that a mass of evidence was received, but the result of the inquiry will not transpire until the proceedings have been submitted to the consideration of the Master General. Prices are firm for Jamaica, but there are few buyers ; the value of fine and superior, 33 to 38 over, is 3s 61 to 4s 6 , 1, good 30 to 35 over, 2s 9d to 3s 4d; low and mid, 2s 5d to 2s 9J. For Brandy the demand is good, and rates rule firm. TALLOW.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow went at advanced rates; 600 pkgs South American at 33s 3d to 37s 31; 1,000 pkgs Sydney 351 to 33s 91, in terior 33s t) 348. OILS —There has been a further advance for Rape Seed Oil, the demand having been good with a limited supply; sales of pale made at 37s 6.1 to 38s 6d, and brown at 36s to 375. For Linseed Oil the market is not so firm, there being a more plentiful supply, but at 32s 9d to 33s per cwt. many parcels have been taken by home dealers, and shippers were buyers to a fair extent. There has not been much doing for delivery with sellers at 31s 9.1 to 325. Palm is in better request, prices are also firmer, and rule at 28s 6d to 29s for fine. For Cocca Nut a lsrge decease:l exists, and higher rates are likely to prevail. At auction 128 casks Cochin realised 30s to 31s 6d for good and fine. For Olive the market is firm. Gallipoli and Spanish et 421 to 42/ 10s; Barbary, Levant, and Portu gal 40/ to 40/10s per tun. There is no further advance for Seal, yet a good demand prevails, pale at 371 to 38;., Strsw, yellow and brown, 331 to 361. Cod has been sold to a fair extent at 34/ 15s to 351. Southern is wanted, and the parcels sold privately were at 33/ to 351 for common to tine. There is yet a limited supply of Sperm, and a fair demand exists; tine British realised 831 lOs to 841 10s per tuu. This afternoon, at public sale, 684 casks Palm Oil went at 295; 4SB pkgs Cocoa Nut 29s to 325; 2l casks Syd evy 29s t0,29s 3d; 66 csks Ground Nut Oil 36/ 13s to 37155; 90 tuns Southern 331 lOs to 34/ 15s. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Westminster, Sept. i 3. WILSON v. COLSON. Mr. BAZALGETTE stated that - the plaintiffs in this case were the proprietors of the well-known omni buses called the " Favorite,' which start from Highgate and Hornsey, some going to 'Westminster, and others to the City and the South-Eastern Railway. It ap peared, from the opening statement of the Learned Counsel, that the plaintiffs had been established at Islington for twenty years, and first used and em ployed omnibuses between Highgate and the Bank of England, which were painted green, in the same manner as their omnibuses were then painted, and that they then took and adopted the name or word "Favorite" as a distinguishing mark of their omnibuses, by which all of them have ever since been known. That the defendant, also an omnibus pro prietor, and who, in the year 1847, sold his interest in his omnibuses, called the Emperor and Hope, had commenced running an omnibus with the name "Favorite" painted on a green ground, and so much like the plaintifls' that the public were deceived by its appearance, and thereby the plaintiffs sustained great injury. He moved fur an injunction to restrain the defendant from running the omnibus complained of. Tne injunction was asked for in the same terms as had been granted by his Lordship in another omni bus case of a precisely similar description, of the name of "Knott v. Morgan." Mr. BEALES, on the part of the defendant, con tended that there were many points of difference between the omnibuses of the plaintiffs and defen dant. The name " Favorite " was certainly the same, but the green ground was of a darker colour, and instead of " Brighton Railway" there was painted on his omnibus " The South-Eastern litailway," and the defendant had a red flag with white letters, whereas the plaintiffs had a:white flag with black letters. He also contended that the Court had never granted an injunction in any case against the use of a name simply, unless the name of the party, or of his firm, was connected with it. The MASTER of the ROLLS, without hearing the reply, said it appeared to him that the defendant in setting up the omnibus painted and decorated in the mode described, did intend the public to believe that it was the omnibus of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs had run their omnibuses for twenty years, and it was im possible but to believe that people must suppose the defendant's omnibus belonging to the plaintiffs. The present was no new device, but it was similar to what was often seen over shop windows—the same name is painted, but then a little letter is put in a scroll over it, which being read explains it ; but that was generally overlooked. The defendant was en titled to run his omnibus, if he did it without fraud on the plaintiffs ; therefore the order he should make would be to restrain the defendant from running an omnibus having painted upon it the word "Favorite" in such colours, or in such manner, as to be a colour able imitation of the words or devices painted on the omnibuses of the plaintiff. WILSON V. ARABS. The facts of this case were similar to the last. Mr. Roinuiton, who appeared for the defendant, stated that there was no intention on the part of the defendant to continue running the omnibus. The MASTER of the ROLLS said, that being so he would not grant an injunction, but allow the mo tion to .stand over, giving the plaintiffs liberty to apply in case the defendant again attempcd to run his omnibus. COURT OF BANICitt. IPI CY, Sept. 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANS.) N THE BANKRUPTCY OF WILLIAM FOSTER NEWTON. The bankrupt, who carried on the business of mil iner and dresstnaker in aiver-street, Piccadilly, came up on the qaestion of certifi...ate, supported by Mr. Latisrencee, and opposed by Mr. Parry, on behalf of the assignees. The debts and liabilities are 8,687/. ; the assets, Mr. Parry stated, will not realise a lartrer dividend than between 3s. and 4s. in the pound. Tile trade and personal expenditure, extending over the period of trading, three and a half years, were 6,5951. ; whilst the losses were 5,009/. ; the profits were 5,4511. The nature and amount of the assets, as set forth in the balance-sheet, were --good debts, 1,8871.; pro perty, 5051. The charges preferred against the bank rupt were reckless trading, f a l se an d f rau d u l ent re presentations to creditors, mutilating his book, and undue preference to Messrs. Harding and Smith, of Pall-mall, who had been his principal creditors. Mr. PARRY asked the Court to withhold the cer tificate altogether. As regarded the first charge, the Court expressed no opinion upon it. The proofs brought in support of it were the figures of the balance-sheet, and it was further alleged that the bankrupt had not taken stock from June, 1848, to the perio'd of the issue of the petition in May, 1850. The second charge was founded upon these circumstances :—ln 1848 the bankrupt owed Messrs. Hardi ng an d S m i t h nearly i 4,0001. They sent n accountants, whom it was al leged the bankrupt deceived by suppressing a debt to his father of 1,3001.—a liability to Thomas, the per son from whom he had bought the goodwill of the business, of 2,500/. ; and that h e h a d set f or th as assets 600/. worth of furniture,, which he was about to settle on his wife. Coe result of the statement was, that the bankrupt appeared to have a surplus of 3,0001., whereas, had those deductions been made, a balance of 1,4001. would have been shown against him. Mr. Lawrance gave this explanation of the matter :—He said that the statement in question was drawn up solely from Messrs. Harding and Smith, who were aware of the debt and liability in question ; that with respect to the father's claim the bankrupt knew it would not be pressed ; and in respect to Thomas's, although it was true it had not been men tioned, yet neither had the bankrupt set forth as an asset the goodwill of the business, which he possessed, and out of which the liability accrued. The 6001. worth of furniture was only to be settled on his wife, on condition of an equivalent in money being thrown into his business. The Commis sioner considered those explanations satisfactory, although Mr. Atkinson, of the firm of Atkinson, Foster, and Co., who are now creditors to the amount of 6801., swore that the bankrupt obtained 3001. worth of goods from them upon the belief that the statement of his affairs, in which he appeard with a surplus of 3,0001., was a bona fide one, and this witness posi tively declared they would not have entrusted Hin with their goods if they had known that Newton owed his father 1,3001., and was under a liability of 2,5001. to Thomas. Another creditor, Mr. White, of the firm of Finley and White, Regent-street, deposed to a similar effect. The bankrupt alleged that at:the time he obtained the goods of Messrs. Atkinson and others he believed he was solvent, and that he would be able to pay all his creditors in full, but his busi ness had been ihjured by circulars, which the account ants called in, and Messrs. Harding and Smith had sent to his debtors. The COMMISSIONER was of opinion that the bank rupt had not committed nor in ended to commit any fraud. He doubted the statement of Mr. Atkinson that his house would have refused further credit h a d they known the ex ac t position of his affairs. Having repeated his belief that the bankrupt was incapable itti ng any the c d Commissioner m fr m a ss , io a n n e d r t g h r a a t n h te e d h a a t d o acted a a li s rs a t n_ c ho l fo a n s c s eosmt m an, certificate.m MEDICAL STAFF.—Staff A.sistant-Surgeon Swet tenham, who was under orders for Jamaica, having been examined before a medical board, has been with drawn from the embarkation list for the present. Doctor Swettenham served for many years in Ceylon, both in the Ceylon Rifle Corps and subsequently on the staff. KILKENNY DISTRICT.—The riding-school at Clon mel is ordered to be converted into barrack-rooms for the better accommodation of the soldiers. A chapel and school-room is also ordered to be con structed for the use of the troops at that station.

BAD BREAD FOR THE TROOPS.—Repeated COM.. plaints having been made of the bad quality of the bread issued to the troops in Portsmouth Garrison, Major-General Lord Frederick Fitz Clarance has di rected that the captain of the day and a medical officer, as well as the subaltern and quarter-master, attend every morning the issue of the bread to the men, in order that it may be supplied in strict accord- POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

I could not come to any conclusion about him but that he wets at intervals and upon certain subjects quite crazy. lie told me and the landlady of the house the most fantastical lies that could have occurred to the imagination of a man on the subject of his connexion with the Admiralty, and without having any intelligible motive for ut tering such follies, for he paid his way in the most exact and honourable manner, and did not contract debts in the neighbour hood nor manifest any disposition to incur any. His landlady for some time placed reliance upon his promises to render her extraordinary services by his influence at the Admiralty, and had nearly run the hazard of great inconvenience in consequence of her credulity. He volunteered vast advantages to me, too, from the same source, so that it became quite impossible fur me to think of him but as a person out of his senses. I subsequently called on his landlady, and she told me that he had in the interim called upon her spontaneously, and stated that he was going upon a mission to Spain, and was then superinten dent of stores at Deptford Dockyard, and had it in his power to do great things for her there. The whole of this representation was as groundless as the other. There was not a syllable of truth in it. He abounded with the most ridiculous fables, and we could not detect anything like a motive. There was a decided contrast between his conduct on subjects of this kind and other matters. He was certainly liable to periodical attacks of delusion, and he manifested delusion in a very strong degree in describing a con flict in which he had been engaged in the Brazils. Alderman CARDEN—He showed that he had a mo tive in telling falsehoods to Mr. Taylor, for he con trived, by representations just such as have been described, to induce that gentleman to hand him over from time to time money to the amount of 601., and to give him for months the hospitalities of his house. Mr. Wiggan—Having seen the accounts in the newspapers, I came here to state what I knew of him, in the expectation that I might be of some service in showing that I had reasons for believing that he really laboured under delusion when he told these fantastical lies, which no man with his intellect about him could have thought of uttering. As I said before, the monstrous falsehoods he told were completely motiveless. Alderman CARDEN—He has turned them into ac count elsewhere, it is quite evident. Mr. Wiggan—lt appeared from the reports that he was considered to be a man of education. I assure you that there is no foundation for that statement. He is not an educated man. It will be found, upon examination of his head, that outside there are several depres,ions ; and I need not tell you what strange effects may be produced upon the brain by external injuries. We are not yet sufficiently acquainted with the subject as to be able to pronounce as to how far a man's moral responsibility may be affected by external accident. My impression is that he labours under periodical delusion. Alderman CARDEN—You have acted with great kindness in coming forward to snake this statement, and the repetition of it elsewhere may be of use to the prisoner, whom I consider it to be my duty to commit for trial to the Central Criminal Court. It being necessary that a slight addition should be made to the evidence i❑ order to render it complete, Alderman CARDEN directed that the prisoner should be brought up again to-morrow (this day), fur the purpose of being committed in due form. ARAI Qrs. Wheat ••. ••• ••• 5,235 Barley ... ... ... 335 Oats ••• ••• ••• ••• 440 Beans.. ••• ••• •• 704 • — i yesterday forenoon, whilst he was sitting quietly with his family, a knock came at his street-door, which being answered by the servant, a man unceremoni ously entered the hall, and producing a constabk's staff said he was an officer of the county court. The noise induced applicant to proceed to ascertain the cause, when the party said in a very rude and autho ritative tone, "I am an officer, and I came here to search your house." Applicant asked him to show him his authority, as if he had a magistrate's warrant he might search every room and corner in the house, but as long as he was master of his own esta blishment no one should dare to obtrude upon the privacy and domestic peace of his house and family with impunity unless by some authorized legal reason. The fellow still persisted in his over bearing and insolent conduct in the presence of the ladies of his family, who were exceedingly annoyed and alarmed, while he held his staff and a piece of paper in his hands, the latter being, he said, a writ, 1 but which he woul•.l not allow applicant to read or have a sight of, but he rushed up stairs into the drawing room, and threatened to bundle applicant down stairs it' he interfered with him, Ile (Air.Tin dell) was not of sufficient muscular dimensions or strength to deal with such a person, and he avoided any personal conflict or resentment, and determined on applying to this court fur advice and assistance, as he never knew of such ou'rageous and extraordinary conduct in a gentleman's house before, and it ought not to go unpunished. He added, fathers had fami lies, and sometimes imprudencs occurred with some of them. The process, no doubt, was against his son, who was not in the house, and the person, who was accompanied by a follower, he submitted ought to have shown him his authority before searching his house and annoying his family. Mr. TYRWHITT said he had no authority to inter fere in such a matter. Mr. Tindall—What ! bad he any right to search my house without my sanction and without showing his authority ? I promised to afford him every faci lity to search the house if he would only show me his authority, which he refused to do. Mr. TYRWIIITT—He certainly ought to have shown you his authority, but when once he got entrance into the house he was justified, as an officer armed with legal process, to make a search after his man and capture him. Mr. Tindall would only say that it was a most im pudent and extraordinary proceeding. Mr. "IYRWHITT—There w ere sufficient grounds for him (Mr. Tindall) to complain to the Judge of the County Court, who had power over the officers of the court, and could suspend and discharge them if im proper conduct could be proved against them. The person had no right to threaten Mr. Tindall. He in quired whether he went in any fear of the persons complained of ? Mr. Tindall—l felt great fear at the time, but not now ; certainly not. Mr. Tindall then apologised for having occupied so much of the worthy Magistrate's time, bowed, and left with the intention to complain to the Judge of the County Court. LAMBETH. George Foscott, n wretched-looking man, whose right eve was considerably inflamed, was charged be fore Mr. Norton with refusing to work at stone breaking at Newington Workhouse, for which offence he was liable to be sent to the treadmill. _ _ Macdonald, the taskmaster at Newington Work house, deposed that in consequence of the prisoner, who was an inmate of the workhouse, objecting to work at stonebreaking, at his own request he had been taken before the board of guardians on the day before for the purpose of getting its sanction to be put to some other work ; but the board peremptorily refused to allow him to do any other work than that of stone breaking. In consequence of this peremptory order the prisoner was taken to the stoneyard on that morning and set to work with others, but he refused to do anything for reasons which no doubt he would explain to his Worship, and he (Macdonald) taus compelled to take him to this court. The unfortunate prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that, he had rented a house in, and paid rates to, the parish of Newington for several years, but owing to misfortunes of one sort or other, but principally from want of work in his business as shoemaker, his goods were all seized and sold off. His wife and four children were then obliged to go to the workhouse, and he himself was compelled in a week after to follow them. From a child he had had delicate eyes, and hav ing at one period lust the sight of one of them and very nearly that of the other, he had been a patient for nearly four years of Mr. Alexander, the oculist, and finding that the work to which he was put to—that of stonebreaking—was again impairing his sight, he begged to be put to work at his own trade, that of a shoemaker ; but this was refused him. His eyes con tinuing to get worse he requested to be taken before the board on Thursday, and again besought its mem bers to put him to some other employment, but they again refused; and fearing that if he went on he should lose the sight of one, if not both his eyes, he had determin e d, l e t th e cons ; .uences be wh a t ey might, to refuse the work. In conclusion, the poor fellow said that his life was to him a perfect misery, for, in addition to his Affliction, he was placed in the refractory ward, amongst a set of thieves and louse characters of all sorts. Macdonald here handed to the magistrate a certifi cate from the parish surgeon, stating that the prisoner was quite capable of working at stonebreaking with out any injury to his eyes, provided he wore the usual protectors. IL , (Macdonald) also said that on going to the surgeon about Fo,cott he r=-presented that he worked as well as he could, and that he thought stone breaking was not befitting his eyes, upon which the doctor told him he supposed he must know his busi ness better than himself. Mr. NORTON—WeII, upon my word, I should sup pose he did, in so far as this case is concerned ; and so do I Al3O ; fur it is my opinion this man, judging from the inflamed state of his eyes, particularly, is not in a fit state to break stones. The prisoner said that the protectors, as they were called, did him more harm than service, for, while they did not protect him from the sharp and perni cious dust issuing from the granite, they so impeded his sight that he was not able while they were on to strike the stone with any precision. Mr. NORTON, under the circumstances, sent for Mr. Taylor, the chairman of the board of guardians, and that gentleman, on hearing the circumstances, said that the wife and four children of the prisoner had been received into the workhouse on the repre sentation that they had been deserted by the prisoner. He also justified the conduct of the beard in sending the prisoner to break stones, by the surgeon's certifi cate; and pointed out the great difficulties which the guardians had to contend with i❑ dealing with such cases. Mr. Taylor, however, ultimately kindly con sented to provide the prisoner with present means to take his f.unily out of the house, and promised his as sistance until he could get sufficient employment to enable him to support his family. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 13.—Tho reported arrivals are again small, but there is a good show of samples from vessels near at hand. There is a fair demand for old and now wheat at the full currency of this day week. Oats and shelling are sold on easier term , . No change in the value of beans and burley; of the latter there are a few new samples, the quality coarse. _ Old New. WHEAT, per qr. 601bs per bushel:— s. s. s. s.

I3.—At this morning's market the sales of wheat and flour proceeded slowly, but in all cases fully Tuesday's prices were obtained. Fine meal ing oats are scarce and wanted; those offering to-day were of inferior quality, and not saleable. Grinding barley bas become scarce, and was Id per bu.hel dearer. Beans and peas were each also 6d per quarter higher. Indian corn was the turn dearer to-day, and 28s per 4801bs is the established price fur the best American yellow, but the demand wa3 not so good as during the week ; the sales since this day se'nnight have been, of American yellow about 4,1,00 quarters, at 27s 9d, and 3,000 quarters, at 28i per 4 , 301b5, on speculation. Several small purchases of American white have been made for shipment, chiefly to the north of Ireland, at 28s per 4801bs. NEWBURY, SEPT. 12.—The supply of wheat to-day is only moderate, and the larger portion consists of the new crop, the condition of most of it being extremely good ; the trade has been more animated than fur some time past, and although we do not quote any actual ad vance, still the tone and tendency ate upwarde. The yield is still complained of. Of barley there were a few samples of new at market, of very indifferent quality, and held for 23s to 25s per quarter. In beans, oats, and peas, we have but little doing, and prices are looking up, which cheeks buguesa. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STRANGE DOINGS AT MIDDLEIIA2I.—A Middleham correspondent informs us that the moor has been infested by a legion of touts, and that a diabolical attempt to " nobble" The Flying Dutchman failed only through an accid, nt. It appears that the training ground is rented by Mr. Fobert, by whom it is stocked with sheep, and that the shepherd, in looking over his flock on Monday last, bad occasion to cross that part f the ground on which The Flying Dutchman takes his long gallops, the other horses seldom going on it except for the purpose of sweating; in ono particular spot whero the grass was much higher than in any ether part of the gallop, he found eight wooden " stobs," a root in length, placed about two feet apart, driven firmly into the ground, and sharpened at the pint. It was plain that some horse had placed his foot between them, but this particular spot had been altogether missed by The Dutchman, and thus, by the shepherd's timely dis covery, this must atrocious scheme failed. Mr. Fobert, we have no doubt, will endeavour to trace the matter to the fountain head, and should he succeed, will give us an opportunity of holding the authors up to public exe cration.

Augustus Robinson was placed at the bar for final examination before Alderman Challis, charged with fraudulently obtaining 951. by forged cheques, drawn on Sir John W. Lubbock and Co.'s bank, witli in tent to defraud Mr. Charles Keyser, of the Stock Exchange, by whom the cheques were purported to have been drawn. Alderman CHALLIS said he should commit the pri soner for trial on the charge of embezzling the sum of 201., and also that of stealing a cheque-book. Prisoner declined entoring on his defence before the trial, and he was accordingly fully committed. BOW-STREET. Jane Collinson, a servant girl, who carried in her arms a male infant afflicted with the hooping cough, was brought before Mr. Jardine for threatening to drown herself and child in the ornamental water of St. James's park. The prisoner had been observed in an apparently dejected state on one of the seats in the park. She requested a little girl to take her baby, and then turned towards the water; but the distressing cries of the child induced her to go back and take it up again. She then threw its hat and pelisse upon the ground, wrapt it in her bosom, and declared she would drown herself and the baby also; but a young woman named Maria Maring, and others, arrived in time to prevent her jumping in. Afar this she de clared that although defeated then the would ulti mately effect her purpose. The prisoner fur some time obstinately refused to answer any questions, but denied that she had any intention to destroy herself or child. Ultimately she stated that the baby was fourteen months old, and was born in Shored itch workhouse. Ever since it was four months old she had paid a woman 4s. a week to keep it, but lately, owing to the child's ill ness, she had been compelled to take it back again, as the woman refused to have it any longer without increased payment. She had since seen a woman who had promised to take it on Sunday next. The prisoner added that she had nn friends or relations in London, hut had been in service. She had a sister at Gravesend, hut they were not friendly, and had not spoken to each other for three years. Mr. JARDINE directed a constable to take her to St. Margaret's workhouse, where the child would receive proper attention, and the case might be in quired into. Two women, named Lynch and Donoghue, begging impostors, were charged with committing several rob beries. Horsford, the mendicity officer, stated that the pri soners were in the habit of calling at the residences of benevolent ladies and gentlemen, and presenting blank forms of admission to hospitals, which they begged to have filled up for the benefit of sick relatives who were dying from poverty and neglect. During the absence of the servant with the certificate the prisoners usually disappeared with anything that might happen to be available in the hall. In this way a coat had been stolen by them from 33, Bloomsbury square, and other cases could be established if time were granted to collect the necessary evidence. The prisoners were accordingly remanded for a week. WORSHIP-STREET. A middle-aged man, name 1 Edward Peake, de scribed as a greengrocer, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having wantonly and maliciously set fire to his wife's clothes, with intent to do her some serious bodily injury. Police-constable Mackay, G 28, stated, that while on duty in Mill's -court, Curtain-road, at II o'clock on the preceding evening, he heard loud cries of " Murder," and " Police,' proceeding from one of the houses, in front of which several persons were as sembled, and after knocking repeatedly at the door to no purpose, he at length forced open the parlour window, and on entering the apartment he found the prisoner's wife crouching down in a corner with her dress in a blaze. He succeeded with some difficulty in extinguishing the flames, shortly after which the prisoner made his appearance, and was instantly charged by his wife with having wilfully set fire to her clothes. She proceeded to state that she had had some slight altercation with her husband, in the course of which he suddenly displaced the iron plate, which was red hot, from the back of the stove, and flung it against the lower part of her dress, which was instantly ignited, and that be then hastily left the house without affording her any assistance. On hear. , ing bis wife's statement the husband declared that it was a complete fsbrication, but, as she persistei in the accusation, witness took him into custody, and the woman, who appeared dreadfully injured about the lower part of her person, was at once conveyed to the hospital. A portion of the scorched fragments of the woman's dress was produced by the officer, who also handed in a certificate from Mr. William Henderson, house surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, stating that she was suffering from severe burns over her back and thighs, and was wholly unable to attend to give evidence. In answer to the charge the prisoner earnestly pro tested his innocence, and declared that he was absent from home upwards of two hours before the occur rence took place. He was sorry to say that his wife was a woman of the most intemperate habits, and he hal no doubt whatever that she accidentally set fire to her clothes while in a state of intoxication. Mr. ['AMAMI. said that it was his duty to remand the prisoner for a week, but had no objection to accept bail for hii appearance, himself in 401., and two sure ties in 20/. each. CLERKENWELL. Mr. Tindall, one of the Commissioners of Sewers, and a parish officer of Clerkenwell, residing in Lloyd's square, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for his advice under th e following singular circumstances ;--He said, that --- .....--...------- of 1 BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 13.---The sale s 1 . 1 • t' , e ?. - e k are limited 1) about 200 hhds West W i lily of ..s hich have been sold without a satnple, 63 per cwt above these previously ruling.
