ASHURST TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CORPO- RATION OF LONDON, AND OTHERS CONNECTED WITH TRADE IN THE CITY OF LONDON, ON THE IMPORTANCE Cr A CENTRAL CITY TERMINUS TO THE CITIZENS AND TO THE WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE OF THE CITY. W. H. ASHURST, ESQ., Member of the Corporation of London, Chairman of the Com mittee of City Lands, and Solicitor of the Direct London and Manchester Railway Company. London, September 30, 1815. My Dear many of the most wealthy and influential of the citizens and corporator of London have em barked their capital, and lent the weight and influence of their character and station to support the numerous gigantic measures of public improvement which are now afloat, not a single Company exists to direct the stream of capital and enterprise in furtherance of any local improvement within the City of London ; nay more—amid the mighty changes which are now taking place in the metropolis of the empire, so far from promoting the local interests of the City (the source of their wealth and influence), we find the names of many of our most esteemed citizens engaged in speculations, having for their avowed ob ject, to divert into other channels many of the advantages, which as the great centre of communication, the City of London has hitherto exclusively, or at .least principally enjoyed. By some of these speculations it is proposed to expend mil lions in constructing great central railroad termini (as they are somewhat oddly designated) in the suburbs of the City; Hungerford-market, Lambeth, Southwark, Nine Elms, Cam den Town Battle-bridge, Finsbury. and other places are va riously talked of far this purpose. Other projectors have pro posed to connect the various existing and intended lines by railways round the outskirts of London; and yet, amid the countless schemes which the newspapersare daily advertising, there is not in existence, I believe, a single company which contemplates the bringing of railway traffic into the City ; although, as the principal seat of all the great banking, mer cantile, and trading establishments of the kingdom, the City is the common point to which the greater portion of metro politan railway traffic would seem naturally to tend. The evil consequences to the City of this vast expenditure of capital in the suburbs may not at present be perceived by those even who are, like yourself, deeply interested in it( wel fare, but we may assure ourselves, that " where the honey is there the bees arc found." The localities in which these im provements take place will (if the City do not provide itself with .similar accommodation) speedily draw around them business establishments of every description, and will ulti mately drain from the City a large portion of the trade, 'which, if it be allowed a fair start in the race of improvement, its central situation and existing commercial pre-eminence will infallibly secure. The reasons which surveyors and others engaged in these new undertakings have assigned for excluding the City from all their contemplated plans, is, that the Corporation upon former occasions resisted the introduction of railroads into the City with so much vigour and pertinacity, that specu lators are afraid to peril the success of their projects by en countering so serious an opposition. This objection has within the last few days been broadly stated by one of. the active Directors of your Manchester line ; lie informs me that the Company would gladly make their terminus in Farringdon-street, if they could obtain the sanction of the City. • You, Mr. Ashnrst, as an influential member of the Common Council; have much to answer for, if you, as solicitor of the Company, - being acquainted with the existence of .this feeling do not test the existing opinion of the Corpora tion on this subject, by bringing the subject under the serious consideration of the court When, as guardians of the public interest; the Common Ceuncil thought • fit to discountenance. the introduction of railroads into the City, the subject was novel and but imper fectly understood. . Danger from fire, and annoyance from smoke and noise were apprehended from the use of loco motive engines in a crowded city : besides which, it was anticipated, if one railroad were permitted to penetrate into the heart of the City, it would be difficult to exclude others, and our principal streets might he intersected in all directions by a confluence of railroads on viaducts concentrating every description of confusion and neise. As an officer of the Corporation I should perhaps act more erudently if I preserved silence, allowed "1 !issez !lire" to be my motto, confined my labours to the discharge of my official duties, pocketed my salary, and left the City and its interests to take care of themselves. I cannot however per suade myself to be prudent upon such terms ; and even at the risk of being set down as a meddler in matters which in my official position concern me not, I have deteraiined to open my mind to you upon this all-important subject, with the `rankness and freedom of former times. Bello; placed in a situation in which /cannot act as I would do were I again a member of the Court of Common Council in which I spent so many years, I charge you by the responsibility you owe to the public (from the high station you hold in the Corpo ration) to arouse the citizens from their apathy, that they may not be deprived by foreign speculators of the trading advantages of situation they have hitherto possessed, and which by a little exertion they may continue to retain.. In thus addressing you, you will of course understand that I do but repo esent my own individual opinions ;—I do not write as City Solicitor ;—I have no authority directly or indi rectly from the Corporation, or either of its Committees, or from any individual member, to communicate with you or with any other person ule al the subject. I, however, am by no means desirous to shrink from any personal responsibility which the expression of these opinions may create; you arc therefore at perfect liberty to deal with this letter as you may think proper. I have kept a copy, and shall consider myself entitled to make it public, if circumstances should hereafter render it necessary to show that I am neither in sensible of, nor indifferent to, the serious injury which the the best interests of our city will suffer, if the present golden opportunity is lest, of effecting those local improvements which are absolutely essential to enable it to compete in com mercial facilities with the surrounding districts. I do not desire to excite your attention, and leave your mind distracted by idle speculations or, vague generalities. I shall lay befre you therefore a specific plan of improve ment within the City, which, for public utility and private profit, need not, in my opinien, fear competition with any of the great projects of the day. First. —I propose that a railroad shall be constructed, from Battle-bridge to Farringdon-street, for the use of such of the Neeth,-rn, the North-Eastern, and North- Western lines, as shall desire to have a terminus in the centre of the City, and shall be willing fairly to contri bute to Ihe'cost of-construction, either by payment of a due proportl-n of-the first charge, or by a fixed or fluc tuating rent as may he agreed, by the Company making, and the Companies tieing, the lines. Explanation.—lt is presumed that this great undertaking May be more effectually, speedily, and economically exe cuted by one of the existing Companies, who a-e prepared with adequate capital, machinery, and staff to carry it ont . ,• ,r it may be carried into execution by a Company formed For the purpose out of members of the other lines. If the Railroad Companies know their own true interests, they will avoid all foolish jealousies, and avail themselves of the manifold advantages which a combined - capital and an united plan of operations will afford, in obtaining for all who desire the centre of the City as the resting place of their traffic, a great trunk line, and a grand central terminus, equal in capacity to all their wants. The union of the several termini at one central spot Will prove equally convenient to the public and beneficial to the shareholders. The railroad nay at once be made wide enough for all its customers pre sent and future : capital will thus be eeonomiaed, costly law and Parliamentary contests will be avoided, and the expense I,lel annoyance will be saved of piece -meal patching and bit by bit reform." Let the originally defective arrange. meats of the Greenwich, South-Eastern, Brighton and Croy- . lon lines teach wisdom to those who desire like them to stop A the same vote • • • • • • The plan here suggested will, I expect, remove one of the principal objections formerly raised against the introduction of railroads into the City. The' dedication of one spot to the accommodation of half a dozen railroads is very different frown a proposal to introduce them to half a dozen different termini, by half a dozen dif !erent routes. iecondly.—For the purpose of showing the line proposed, h ave l a id it down roughly upon a copy of Horwood's map which I send herewith;--I do riot mean to pretend that this is the precise line which it will be found ulti , mately expedient to adopt; that will depend upon the adjustment of the gradients by competent engineers, when the levels are taken, and the longitudinal and cross sections are laid down upon an actual survey of the line. It will be perceived that the line pursues (with slight de viations) the low ground which anciently formed the valley of the Fleet River. Explanation.—Besides the other advantages of carrying the railroad in this valley, which will be presently enume rated, it will have the effect of uprooting the haunts of wretchedness, squalor, and disease, which infest the valley, arid are, it is admitted on all hands, a standing reproach to die wealthy capital of the richest nation in the world. Any and the eLegislature. na nle t the other) t i wig part well-defined plan, capable of efloctuatly removing this-nui ,ance, will undoubt e dly r ece i ve th e su pp or t o f the GOvern n which o n would YPl6is lt c e r I n 4 d i w e presently - aid any Bili through Parliament. If, iii addition to -the intrinsic merits of their own line (of which I know nothing) no train, tim f e ro i n i : a extrinsic m t s h t e a m u n c se es i veas-otthees merit o ri b t eofused abolishingin an the "Direct Manchester" and the " Direct York'' want to i n n- a : c at i c n i g r° t i o l apprehended Parliamentary struge/le, I advise them to lose an evil, which Sanatory Commissions and Parliamentary Committees have in vain denounced. rhirdiy.—lt is proposed that the railroad shall be worked by atmospheric pewer. Explanation.—Whon I suggested this project seven years ago, 1 theug,lit of working the line by means of a stationary Ateine and an endless rope. The actual success of atmospheric pressure as a motive power to railroad carriages may Low perhaps, be considered as sufficiently established to warrant its adoption, without waiting for any further proof. This in vention may he equally applied to all carriages to be brought to a proposed general rendezvous at Battle-bridge by the various lines, whether worked by locomotive or atmospheric power; and, by a proper disposition of the rails, it is equally available Tor carriages running either on the bread or narrow gauge. Besides working with stee p er g radients and sharper turves, the use of atmospheric power will be attended with aeculiar advantagee'in this case. It will remove the other ;Teat objection to the in troduction of railroads w i t hin the - ontinee of the Ciiy ; all the dagger and almost all the noise which locomotive engines produce will of course be avoided by the emp!oyment of this invention. Fourthly.—'or the reasons which will presently be explained,' the railrop e d ie to be constructed in an area ie or covered way, with eyelets at gated distances in the roof, and with cuttings or open spaces at into:vals in the cen , re or the sides, so as to Omit Pf Sufficient light and • ventilation.: Explanation.—The covered way here proposed must not be confounded with an ordinary tunnel, to which in all its ob jectionable features it bears no resemblance. Tunnels are (lark, damp, unventilated, acd unwholesome. The proyosed covered way will possess none of-tip:se-properties; it will be lofty, light, and dry, and as airy and cheerful as the West end arcades, . • . iisfihly.—The width of the arcade will be deteeinined b3ethe number of rails it may be found expedient . to lay (Vivi , for the accornmodation of the various line's. It must at any rate be yf sufficient width, and its roof of sufficient strength, to admit of the upper surface being used as a street tom the kuommodatiort and transit of foot pas sengere, carriages, and carts. By placing , the railroad in the valley, and by slightly raising imd depressing the line where necessary, suffi cient headwa7y . fOl. , life ;Owe) , p q rriagee will be pre served ; and, at the same tiro: ' by a of the side streets, easy leyels . for .. the cross trafide ,over the rief of the covered way may be readily obtained. Explanation.—This, in a public point Of view, is one of the most important features of the whole plan, and might YORK, Ocr. 20.

Is. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOLWICH, Ocr. 20.—The paying off of the Growler steam-frigate, Commander F. IL Buckle, has been postponed for a few days, in consequence of the pay-books not being ready. A silver medal, a gratuity of 71., aiid a pension of 201. 12s. a year have been awarded to William Hoskins, sailmaker; and a silver medal, with a gratuity of 154 to Oflour- Sergeant Eduard Burns, of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, serving on board the vessel. George M'Grath, captain of the forecastle; is tcs be transferred to the Excel lent gunnery-ship, at. Portsmouth, to be promoted as gunner, for his excellent conduct on the coast of Africa. The Ardent steam-vessel, Commander John Russell (b), recently returned from Service on the coast of Africa, is to be paid off on Thursday, the 23d inst. The whole of the officers and crew of this vessel are in excellent health, and were sometime onshore at the Island of Ascension, the vessel having to undergo considerable repairs, in consequence of the long period (upwards of four years) she had beQn in commis sion, before she could return home. A portion of the crew and engineers of the Ardent are in the Ringdove, 16, on her way to England from the coast of Africa, to be paid off. The Meteor steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander George BuTtler, will leave Woolwich to-day for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted by Captain Johnson„ and then pro ceed to Plymouth, to he paid wages in advance. The Avon steam-vessel, Commander Denham, F.S.A., will leave Woolwich on Tuesday or Wednesday for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted, and will be paid advance of wages at Plymouth. Lieutenant . Frederick D. Yonge (1845) is appointed to her, vice Cooke ; and Lieutenant William Rowlett (1838) is ordered a Pamage in her to the coast, to join the Penelope steam-frigate at that station. Lieutenant James B..Westand Mr. William T. Meinprise, master, are appointed to study steam at the factory at Wool wick Dockyard. Messrs. William - Chambers, Robert Moore, and Eneas Vaughan are appointed acting inspectors of shipwrights in the Dockyard here. Mr. Robert Pringle, clerk in the Royal Arsenal, Wool wich, is appointed Ordnance and Deputy-Storekeeper and Acting Barrack-master at Enniskillen, Ireland, vice Gid dings, deceased. The Java freight-ship-was owed down the' river on Satur day from Deptford - by two hired — steamer, on her way to Corfu, with detachments of 'troops to join their regiments on Mediterranean stations, and with a supply c f 'stores. It is 0- ra tifying to' be it'de to' 'state, that the „ dicers and c rew of the (growler stem-frigate are now all quite well, and there is no restriction . whatever.on their movemnits:'' Some of the officers have gone to London to-day, and the paybeoks have been transmitted to the Admiralty, and on their return in the course of the week the vessel will be paid off. It was hitherto a general belief amongst the officers and meet serving on the coast of Africa, that the fever was not of a contagious natue, but consequent on serving at particular stations, as sea-sickness is consequent on going to sea ; but the death of Mr. Saunders, who piloted the Eclair, to Standgate-creek, has caused a different belief amongst many, who now think 1 the fever is contagious.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A CONCERT SINGER.—Late on Saturday evening Mr. William Payne held an inquest at the Crown Tavern, .13gisingliall-street, City, on the body of John Conolly, aged., thirty-Live years,, a well-known singer, lately residing 4 No. 4, Caurch-alley, Rzinghall-street. The deceased went on Friday evening to a tavern, where lie sang several songs, after which he returned home in good health and went to bed, He was quite sober and did nor make any complaint. . About half-past five o'clock on Satur day morning a companion, who slept in the same bed, was awoke by hearing the deceased make a gurgling noise in the throat as if he was suffocating. His friend jumped out bed and beldhim and called for the landlord, who iininediatel sent fur a surgeon, but he died soon after. The surgeon attri buted death to the rupture of a blood-vessel of the heart or in its immediate vicinity. The deceased was a very fro drinker. The jury returned a verdict of "Natural death." FATAL ACCIDENT ON .THE NORTH BRITISH RAIL WAY.—On Wednesday morning, about eight o'clock, a young man, named Henry Scooner, a waggon driver, unfortunately lost his life on the line of the North British Railway, nearly opposite the gate of Parson's-green. He was taking two empty waggons down a slight incline at a rapid pace, when they came into violent collision with some others that were being filled at the bottom, and Scooner was instantly crushed to death between the two he had in charge. He was a young man, and unmarried.—Glasgow Courier. COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. —On Saturday evening, between six and seven o'clock, one of the long trains was coming in, and, on arriving a few hundred yard, from the terminus, the train stopped for the tickets to be taken from the passengers. While this was being done by the guards, the engine was detached from the front, and taken round and placed in the rear of the train for the purpose of propelling it to the terminus. The consequence was, that the light, which on the journey had been exhibited, was covered, and the train with its passengers came in without any signal. While this was taking place on the lower portion of the platform, an engine, which wets about to be attached to the down train, and under the control of the driver, a man named Lawrence, moved from one line to the other, and during the transit the engine and train met. The first intim3tion of their proximity was a violent concussion, followed by cries for assistance from the up-train. The collision happening nearly under the platform, aid was soon rendered, and upon the officers going to the carriage in advance, they found all the occu pants flung from their seats, several besplattered with blood, but which, upon examivation, proved to come from two gentlemen, One of whom had received a centusion over the eye, the other a bloody nose. With these exceptions, no other injury took place. Yester day it was understood than an inquiry was instituted into the cause of the collision, when it was stated that Lawrence declared that he did not expect the up.train in for four or live minutes, and while removing the engine from one curve to the other, he considered he had sufficient time to get out of the way of the up-train; that the first intimation he had of its being near him was from the concussion. INSPECTION OF THE NEW PIER AT BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—On Monday the Chairman of the Navigation Committee, Mr. Deputy Bedford, Mr. Deputy Peacock, Messrs. Charles, Joyce, and a majority of the most active members of the Corn :nittee, attended by the Water Bailiff, W. Woodthorpe, Esq , and other civic functionaries proceeded in the City navigation barge to inspect the piers and landing places presented at the several recent ' Courts of Conservancy. The principal object of the Committee era, however, the inspection of, the new pier at Blacktriars- bridge, previous to issuing their authority for its being opened for the use of public this day. On the arrival of the Committee shortly after one o'clock, they were received by the newly-appointed pier -master, Mr. Robert Ware, as also the clerk and overseers of the works. I'he Chairman and Committee then proceeded to examine the various appointments and erections that had been made fur the safety and convenience of the public, and expressed their entire satisfaction of the whole arrangements, and the capabilities of the structure fully answering the purposts for which it had been erected. Mr. Woodthorpe stated that several of the companies whose boats had been the habit of plying at the various piers, had not as yet signed the contrast an 4 consented to the regulations, and that, therefore, of course, those companies' boats would not be allowed to call. Directions were then given by the authority of time Committee to the pier -master, and those acting under him, to see that the regulations and instructions for the conduct 'and manage. .sent of the pier should be strictly enforced. 7 - [ADvEttitslimENT.] — A CE RTAIN CURE FOR SCRO k LILA OR KING'S EVIL, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT- H.ENT.—A FRIGHTFUL CASE —A young man named Bowman, !c a r l o c i t ei d ous fr u o l m ee r<:ll,cLo'vhe3rrng vwithari % shoemaker, living in James .street, Manchester, had been ,ther sufferings, ; yet, extraordinary to relate, thi s ou th s e pa m rt o z s o t t m hi a s lig bo n a an y t ; k b ir e id side o: erg they had deprived him of ilia: - u4e of his left :ad all the ulcers soundly heale d, but h p . a o s o I r.

In speaking of the comparative cost of two modes of con structing a railroad in a populous district, I ought not to Omit mentioning an important distisguishing feature of 'my plan. To all eersons who have been engaged in these ope rations it is known, that where you have to deal with inter mixe ty property in crowded situations, it is impossible to ob tain the ground von actually need, without purchasing what as far as the railroad is concerned is of no use; the surplus property is usually sold; but, being close to a railroad via duct, it is of little or no value; by my plan, however, it will have a frontage to a wide and level street, and every foot of ground will acquire a large additional value from the generally improved state of the neighbourhood, as well as from the improved value of the other property to which it will adjoin. I It would be out of my province to state what would be the I return in the shape of ground rents for building sites on each side of the new street from Battle-bridge to Farringdon- street ; your surveyor will readily supply you with this cal- culation.. These ground rents, which will amount to a very large sum of money, will be sold to defray a portion of the cost; the Corporation has sold the ground rents of the houses adjoining their new streets in the City at upwards of thirty years' purchase. This very high rate would probably not now be maintained, but lam confident your surveyors will report to you that the building sites of the new street which. expense I ought to ob serNew Farringdon this project will call into existen ce will yield a very large re t u rn towards the coat of its construction.

As your Committee, like men of business, will be disposed to scruti nise the project with great caution, I think it right to meet an anticipated objection by observing that an eminent en gineer has looked at the site in reference to the sewers, the gas and water-pipes, &c. along the line, and of er examinine the map of the sewers with the levels - floured upon it, and after a conference with one of the intelligent officers of the sewers in the Finsbury district, he isformed me that he should on this head experience no difficulties in making the line that could not be readily overcome.

When the existing spirit of enterprise enbeides, a feng interval of euiesceoce will ensue. If the - plan be now taken up by men, of influence and capital, it is certain to succeed; pass it over, arid it can never be revived.

The de fendant began to abuse her, and she insisted on his quitting the house, when, with a heavy stick. he had in his han (and which was produced in Court), he struck her a stunning blow on the head, and then rushing to the door, broke the latch, and ran off. lie was subse quently taken on a warrant for the assault. The defendant said that he neither abused the com plainant, nor struck her. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Oakes) said that the assault, being an aggravated one, the prisoner was fined 10s. and costs. Dvfenclant—But suppose I have not a shilling? Mr. OAKES —Thvn you will go to the House of Cor rection, with hard labour, for 14 days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONR. D.. Hare, M.D., ri.sidint; at No. 9 A, Langham-place. attended before Mr. Rawlinson, on a summons obtained against him by Abraham Allision, driver of the cal, 2,261, for the recovery of 2s. 6d., alleged to be due to hi:n, the said c,implainant, The cabman stated, that on Saturday, the 11th instant, he took up, in Southampton-row, the defendant, who agta , ed to give him ss. to take him, first, to Cunning ham-place, 87. John's-wood, afterwards to the Acacia r: cad, and I rum thence the Seven Siso-rs, Holloway. Ile was convey•al , o the severed places named, and so,tlc time etft.•r he had aligh , ell at Holloway, h- (the eahinan) was told that if he would take him to Langham-place would give him 6,1. more. He was informed that tha. was not sufficient, when, without any more being th.p said, he gut into the vehicle, and was convey ed to his resi&nce. Oct altghtin t ,4 he gave only 6d. in addition t, the 55., notwithstaffiliog he was told that the fare b.tel, from Holloway was 3a. He (the cabman) bad therefor.: stt;Atur,oeti him for the extra half-cr•-,wo. Dr. flute, in answer to the charge, said that nothing 11:4tever was mentioned about 5s ,an that he had paid very amply the cabman, whom be had engagtd by " time," and not " distance." The cabman asserted that there was no understanding at all regarding payment by "time," and he called a witnt sa (the water►nan), who corroborated his stat, Men t n Oat particular. Mr. RAWLINSON decided the case by adjml4ing that Dr Hare should pay 2s. 6d , the fare claimed, togetnel with 3s. for the cabman's two attendances at the Court. and an additional 2i., the expense of the summons, making in the whole, 7s. 6d. Colonel Henry Buthur,t, 83, Gloucester-place, at tendel to prefer a chargB against William Spice, driver and proprietor of alcab, for refusing to take a fare when called upon to do so. The Colonel stated that on Wednesday last his ser vant called defendant from the Paddington-street rank, and on his driving up to the door, he (the Colonel) and two friends entered the vehicle, desiring to be taken to the ZoologiLial-gardens, Regent's Tack. Defendant then alighted from his box, and, opening the door, told them in an insolent tone and manntr that as there were three of them hs must have 61 more than the legal fare if he took them at all. Re (the Colonel) ordered him to , irite on, telling him that he should hare what was his fire, and nothing more. Re refused to convey them, and they were therefore under the necessity of gettin i out and going in doors, after paying defendant 81.. which he demanded t'or being called off the stand. Ili tried to force his way into the hall, and would have dont so had not he (Colonel Bathurst) pushed him away and caused the door to be shut in his face. Defendant denied most positively that he ever went nearer to the hall-door than by just getting upon the step, Mr. RAWLINSON said that defendant was not bound to take three persons in his cab, and dismissed the cons plaint against him. IN RE - CURRELL. The insolvent in this case, a billilrl-table-keeper and tobacconist, came up to-day for his interim order. His debts were 285/. 43. 7,1, and little or no assets. Mr. Buchanan, vho appeared- as solicitor to oppose, strongly pressed the insolvent to set aside a certain sum of money a year (M.) out of the returns of his busi nass, which were stated by the insoh•ent to he about 3/. ,ler week, fir the liq&dation of his debts, to save an op position whiel would be fatal to him. The insolvent said he would pay WI. a year. Mr. Buchanan said he would acctde to 201. a 3 ear, but not 101., and thi refore his oppceition was founded upon the ground that the ins Ivent had not complied with the marginal note of the p, tition, inasmul as that he had not stated his places of residence, and the period of abode within the last twelve months. The Learned CommssioNEa considered the objection taken by Mr. Bachanan to be fat and therefore the petition must be dismissed.—Petition dismissed. SMALL DEBTS ACT.—COLES V. PARSAL in this CUB an action had been been brought by Coles, a butelwr. against Parsay, who was a plefk in the War-office, at a salary of 1404 a year, for the reco very of a debt for goods sold and d , lfvered. Judgment was sighed in favour of Coles for 131. It appeared that as agroement had been entered into hotween the defendant and his creditors, that his debt , (the amount or whiuh were not statA) should he paid yeirly payment, of 50/. the first year. 60/. the and 701. the third, and so on till his dlats were Ali the c ,- elitors had signed that agreement, ex- Codes. avi if hp werg to sign, it wirfild be carried into effect, and the first payment would commence next winery. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he would make 'an order to pay 11. a year till the judgment debt of 13/. was paid. The plaintiff. who appeared to be much amss 01, said.

This insolve , .t, who had eariied on business as a coal op:reliant in Kennington-oval, r.ame up fu- an interim order, and was opposed on behalf of Mr. Langley, a surgeon, for a debt of 25/. _ . . 'Fhisground of opposition was, that the insolvent's debts only amounted to 179/., to meet which he had a i income of 140/. a year, arising out of funds in the Four per Cents. The creditor's solicitor said it was quite absurd to argue that a person situated like the insolvent was entitled to relief under the Act. The insAvent said he bad been driven to the present course through the proceedings of Mr. Langley, whose debt atnounte I only to a little more than 201. He (insol vent) had accepted au accommodation bill for lOt, which Langley was to have taken up, but bad not dune yu, -1 41% Langley then pressA him to trecorio si,curify fora loan society, which he 400414 A breach of friendship had re sulted, and Mr. Langley had brought an action.

The ins !vent said he really could not, far, in the first instance he had not re rived any money under the trus', and : the; trustees anticipated great difficulty in obtaining it, and that' even when obtained, it would belong to his wife. The Learned Co3tmtssio - Ell said, at ther.e'war, no disposi tion to meet the ease ho should dismiss the petition. SURREY SESSIONS.—MONDAY. (Before Mr. PUCKLE and a Bench of Afagistratep,.)
