He could see nothing in the case to prevent him from naming a day for the final order. He concurred with Mr. Cooke in the observations he had made on persons advancing money to Government clerks. Before he had the honour of having a seat in the court. he was familiar with its proceedings by the reports given, and he had learnt that money was advanced at usurious interest, and the ex penditure of young men increased by the mode in which it could be obtained. He had been informed that so great was the temptation of money in public offices by persons in discounting bills, that a board had been put up to exclude certain persons by name from the offices.. The opposing creditor complained that he had been "fleeced," but it appeared that he had been paid 651 . out of 95/. and the insolvent offered 1501. a year, be sides the offer by the other person who had petitioned the court. He (Mr. Commissioner Murphy) really thought the offer was a reasonable one, and such as should satisfy the justice of the case, and liquidate the demands in the schedule. Acting on that view of the case, he should appoint a sitting for the final order. .The final order was named for the 7th December, and protection grnnted. a the 1 infe• hand• it any it the to 6d; id per ) Os Od i te 4a LON DON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1853.

The work is printed in entirely new type from the Caslon and Glasgow Letter Foundry, and has been so greatly ex tended, that the "Street Directory" contains 13),842 distinct names or firms; these will be found correctly classified in all the other principal divisions, Commercial, Trades, Law, and Court, all of which are increased in proportion to the great extension of the " Street Directory." Battersea, Bow, Brixton, Bromley (Middlesex), Camberwell, Cambridge Heath, Clapham-road, Dalston, Deptford; Hackney, Hol loway-road, Kentish -town, Kingsland, New-cross, t4outh Lambeth, Stratford, Wandsworth•road, &c., sc., are essentially parts of "the great metropolis," and should obviously be so treated in any D; rectory of l.ondon. In the " Post-office Directory" the inhabitants of these places appear in all the alphabetical lists, so that the residence and calling of any one can be Instantly traced in whatever part of the suburbs he may be located. Had the residents in these localities been segregated from all the others, and each published oary in a separate list, it would obviously have been impossible to discover the address or calling of any person residing in the environs of London. `• The Fost Office Direct-ry has long been the wonder of the pub lishing world, a monument of private enterprise and ingenious labour wholly without parallel."—Morning Herald, Nov. 4, 1853. " The recentness of the compilation in its several departments is really astonishing. The indices are very numerous, and immensely facilitate reference to the various sub-divisions of the book. There is a Street Index, a Trades Index, a i aw Index, a Postal Index, a , Parliamentary Index, besides the General Index at the beginning." —Morning Advertiser, November 4, 1853. • " Th: work desert, s much praise ksr the accuracy which pervades it and for the latenass of the information which it affords.—Morn ing Chronicle, Novem` , er 4, 1853. " Altogether this is by far the completest Directory yet produced, both as regards cla , •siScation and typographical execution." 1llus• trated News, November 5, 1853.

The case set up stated that the plaintiffs filed a plaint against the defendants and by their particulars claimed to recover 35!., the value of two horses which had been killed or seriously injured on the defendants' line, iu consequence of the defendants, their agents, or servants, having left open a gate through which the horses passed on to the railway, and suffered the injuries complained of, and a sum of money was also claimed for the expenses of trying to recover the horses. The case came on for trial, and the following facts were proved :—The plaintiffs were farmers at Torksey, in Lincolnshire, and they had formerly two horses in a field through which there was a highway, but this way was crossed by gates which formed part of the plaintiff's fence. It happened that one of these gates was left open by somebody who had passed through, and the horses strayed into the common road. About 100 yards off was the gateway of the railway-station yard, which was so constructed that it would shut of itself unless kept open by something ; but it was proved that the gate frequently was open. The horses went into the station-yard in the afternoon, but were turned out by the company's servants. Afterwards, however, they went in again, and were accidentally locked in at night. It happened that a portion of the railway fence had been taken down to remove some goods, and the horses passed through the opening on to the line, where they were run against by a train. It was contended that the de fendants were liable to make good the loss of the horses, in consequence of their gate being open and their fence down ; but the defendants submitted that there was no case to go to the jury. The judge refused to nonsuit, and left the matter to the jury, who found for the plain tiffs for the amount claimed. It was now submitted to their lordships, on behalf of the defendants, that the county court judge ought to have decided that there was no case to go to the jury, and to have entered a nonsuit. Mr. Addison appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Gray for the respondents. The Court took time to consider the matter. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Nov. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE HENNET. This was the dividend meeting in the case of George Rennet, railway contractor, &c., of George-street, West minster, and other places. We published in The Sun of yesterday a statement of the amount of assets in hand. A great number of creditors, seeking to prove for large Messrs.amounts, o f thei r i w pl jr e o r eo e of ds i n ah a na t dd t e s n bt d ee a ne n nn c i e n pg t r, h e i v i s t ho m eu o s s r l yo n i n c g b i to; investigatedrsu a u t nd s e m r t o bh s ye t bankruptcy, and by Mr. Quilter, accountant, who is one of the trade assignees, comparatively little trouble was occasioned to the court. Only one proof, that of Mr. Preston, a merchant's clerk, for 7501., on acceptances of the bankrupt's, gave rise to any discussion ; and after a lengthened inquiry into the circumstances of the claim, it was ordered to stand over, to give the assignees the opportunity of taking counsel's opinion. Mr. M`Leod stated that since the last meeting be. tween 10,000/. and 15,000/. of liabilities had been got rid of, through the investigation to which they had been subjected by the assignees. This showed the necessity of investigation in every case. The Commissioner—Oh, undoubtedly. The total amount of proofs placed on the file in the course of the day was 136,490/., making, with the debts already proved, a total proof against the estate of 257,5291. The dividend to be shortly declared will be about 2s. 6d. in the pound. IN RE THOMPSON. This was the last examination meeting in the case of Frederick Hale Thompson, manufacturer of silvered glass ware, of Berners-street, Oxford-street. The ac counts, prepared by Mr. Thomas, extended over 31 years prior to the failure in June last, and showed a sum of 11,092/. due to unsecured creditors, and 2,7801. to those holding security. The assets, if well realised, are expected to yield about 10s. in the pound. Mr. Lawrance supported ; Mr. Sturgeon, for the as signee, offered no opposition ; and the bankrupt passed. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE BATES AND HITCHMAN. This was the certificate meeting. The bankrupts had carried on an extensive business as straw plait dealers, of Addle-street in this city, Bristol, and Bir mingham. The accounts, prepared by Messrs. Harding and Pullein, show the debts to be ]5,2841. ; liabilities, 3,4451. The assets were put down at 3,349/. in good debts ; doubtful, 3,3191. ; cash given up, 3081. ; property reatised l 1,1531. The profits were returned at 3,283/. ; trade expenses, 2,9501. ; interest, 1,2521. ; law charges, 1741 ; losses in realising, 1,1441. ; bad debts, 6291. ; partners' drawings, 7441. Mr. Linlilater supported : Mr Robinson appeared for the assignees. Mr. Linklater, in applying for the bankrupts' certi ficates, stated that Mr. Bates had been in business for mlny years, and Mr. Hitchman had been in his service fifteen or sixteen years prior to 184 S, when the [nuttier ship commenced, there being a surplus in tho'concern of 1,300/. Three or four of the largest debts arose from the purchase of Tuscan straw, upon which it was ex pected to make a large profit, but it had fallen off in value at that time. The bankrupts, whose returns froni January, 1851, to July, 1853, amounted to about 60,0001., had been, like many others in trade, the vic tims of fluctuations in trade, and the failure of large houses with whom they dealt. 13,0001. of the debts was represented by nine creditors, with whom the bank rupts had dealt for many years, and none of them came forward to oppose. The domestic expenditure was very small ; it did not amount to more than about 7001., the amount of capital brought in by Hitchman, so that the estate had in no way suffered in that respect. The solicitor to the assignees said that they were quite satisfied with the bankrupts' conduct. His Honour said it appeared from the balance-sheet, and what had been stated, that the bankrupts were en titled to their certificates forthwith, but the question was as to the class. He (the commissioner) could not say the failure had arisen solely from losses and misfor tunes. They had traded to a very considerable extent f a a t v t e h u r r e a e hl places 1 ace s feature without was c t a h p a i t t a l theto n e i x e l e ) t end th i e t i u r r l e osses' of these gentlemen was extremely small, and there was both A nothing against their conduct as tradesmen, but con sidering the absence of capital—he did not mean to say that a man was not to trade because he had no capital, provided he had good credit, which should make a per son very cautious, and not trade to a considerable ex tent—the b s a e n c k o ilip bankrupts class. would receive immediate certifi. cites INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.---Nov. 10. (Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.) IN RE GEORGE M. INNES.—GOVERNMENT CLERKS AND THEIR "TEMPTERS." This insolvent, a clerk in the Admiralty-office, Somer set-house, appeared under the Protecti on A c t on his in terim order. A creditor, named Charlton, messenger in the Geological Society's department, Somerset-house, opposed in person. Mr. Couke supported. Mr. Cooke informed the court that there was a pro posal in this case to set aside 150/. a-year for the creditors. Charlton complained that he had advanced the insol vent 601. on his promissory note, and afterwards a sum was advanced on the note of a fellow clerk, named Bar ron, and to a Mr. Waddilow, and then an advance was obtained on an I 0 U. Such conduct was not fair, for he found the insolvent, who was to pay him ls. interest a quarter, was paying a Jew 60 per cent. interest. In answer to Mr. Cooke, Charlton stated that in May, 1851, he advanced 601. to the insolvent on his promis sory note. He was himself in Somerset-house, being a porter to the Geological Society. It was to his misfor tune that he had got acquainted with clerks in govern ment offices. Ho considered that government clerks were respectable men, but he had found to the contrary ; he was " green " when he thought they were to be trusted. When he advanced the 601. to the insolvent he took nothing for discount. At the end of the guar. ter he was to have is. 6d. in the pound, but Jews could get 60 per cent. Mr. Cooke—lf a Jew got 60, you being a Christian thought you might get 30 per cent. (A laugh.) Charlton further stated that off the 601., 20/. had been paid. In conjunction with Barron the insolvent got 251., and there was a sum to the other person he 651. h1id mentioned. There was about 951. advanced,and had been paid off. He sued the 1. costs had been paid. Barron had insolvent, petitioned this a other and had gentlemanoffered to ton) held the insolvent liable. s n e la t d a e s a id c e om a p bo o u si t tio s l o )o /. h a a of about 901., and 1501. a year 2 was Mr. Cooke asked Charlton that as he h o a l l e u r ty g e b d o e _t a : 6(. o .s 7- t a o i r i ff e l. creditors, what could he want more e. Charlton said he opposed on prin i c i i i pl S principle done a Mr. Cooke told him he had by duced young men talked of opposing on great deal of misc i l n de u f. ove l r t nn w le a n s t their incomes, and then they to livebey ond - Charlton to leave off such ie e t) ersons th at in -500/. by being Charlton declared that given 2001. to King's College he s'u'perhinac "principle." ro H us e trade.

Mr. CoOka charged Charlton with being the "tempter." It was through such persons that young men lived be yond their incomes. They took "3U per cent." an d upwards and then complained. Charlton had got out of 951., and now vaunted th a t he opposed on prin ciple. It was impossible to feel sympathy for such men —men b who t h edxtrava pandered to the expenditure, in public p o u r bli i c t stunt o. He submitted ee of f you ng the offerg m now made of 150/. was a very liberal one. The insolvent, in answer, sa id that his salary was 3201. a year. Had it not been for Charlton, be should not have been obliged to come to this court. His other creditors would take the offer he had made. Mr. Conniisaioner Murphy gave his opinion. He —obke NAVAL IBTELL.IUENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 11. The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Hutton, flag of hear. Admiral Corry, will be paid advance to-morrow, it is expected, and put to sea with the fleet, from Spithead, in a few days, though no day of sailing is fixed, but it will probably not be before the Duke of Wellington and St. Je:i'n a'Acre are ready for sea again. The Medea 6, steam-sloop, Commander J. C. Bailey, is discharging powder and shell, preparatory to coming into this harbour to be paid off. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 11. At 12.45 this morning the crews of the men-of-war in. the Sound were beat to general quarters and exercised at great guns and small arms, until 2.45 a.m. when the retreat was sounded. The fleet consists of Her Ma jesty's crew steam-ship Agamemnon 91, Captain W. R. Mends ; Hogue, 60, screw, Captain W. Ramsay ; Im perieuse, 50, Captain R. B. Watson ; Magicienne, 16, Captain T. Foster ; Valorous, 16, Captain C. H. M. Buckle ; Desperate, 8, Captain W. W. Chambers ; Vul ture, 6, Captain F. H. H. Glasse ; and Scorpion, 6. The accident on board the Agamemnon on Wednes day would have been attendbd with very serious conse quences but for the presence of mind of th e c hi e f engi neer, Mr. John Langley. The ship went o u t s id e t h e Sound to test the efficiency of Griffiths' newly fitted fan. Whet. two miles from the Breakwater, steaming 81 knots, and making 45 revolutions per minute, something gave way below, and the revolutions seemed to be suddenly increased to 1,000 or more per minute. The shOck is described to have been similar to that of an earthquake. The funnel appeared to jump from its place, and so excessive was the vibration that every one expected the masts would go over the side, and the boilers were momentarily expected to burst. At this critical juncture Mr. Langley, with great nerve and coolness, threw open the valves, gradually stopped the engines, and thus saved the valu able machinery from tearing itself to pieces, and injur ing, if not destroying, th e no b le vessel herself. She wasimmediately put under canvass, and returned to the Sound. On subsequent examination it appeared that the main shaft was broken just within the fans—in all probability from a . defect in th e metal. A diver went down and made an inspection again on Th ursday morn ing. It seems to be a subject for consideration whether experiments of this kind should not be confined at first to ships of less size than the Agamemnon, which i s i n all other respects complete for sea service. WOOLWICH, Nov. 11. APPOINTMENTS. Midshipmen.—George Prosser, to the Princess Royal, 90, screw steamship, at Portsmouth • A. N. Lothbury, to the Agamemnon, 91, screw steamship. at Devonport. Master's-Assistant.—Ettrick W. Creak, to the Juno, 26, at Chatham. _ _ The period of service of Commodore Henry Eden, as superintendent at Woolwich Dockyard, expires on the 14th inst., but it has been decided at the Admiralty that he shall continue to perform his present duties until the 31st of December, when the Fisgard flagship will be paid off and recommissioned by the superintendent who will succeed him. By this arrangement a considerable saving and much simplification in the books and returns will be effected. ROYAL NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty give notice that, in pursuance of the Act 16th and 17th Queen Vic toria, cap. 73, which authorises them to raise, and from time to time to keep up a number of men who may be called forth and employed when the defence of the coun try may require it, to act with or in aid of her Majesty's naval forces, 10,000 men will be enrolled, from volun teers only, on the cost of the United Kingdom and the Islands of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, and Sark, and they will be selected from seafaring men between the ages of 18 and 35, or from others residing on the coast who may be considered suitable for the service.

Shodid such extended service not be found necessary, every volunteer who shall have completed one years' actual service will be re leased from all further claim on him as a coast volunteer, whether'he shall have completed his five years' engage. merit or not. One hundred leagues from the shore of the United Kingdom is the limit beyond which they are not to be sent when called out on actual service. Attendance for training will be required of them for 28 days in every year, at such time or times, whether on shore or afloat, as may be ordered.

No man acting as a coast volunteer must, during his engagement, enter the army, militia, or the service of the East India Company ; and no volunteer must absent himself from training or exercise when so called upon (except incapacitated by bodily infirmity) under a pe nalty not exceeding 201. ; nor fail to attend, if called into actual service without being liable to the penalties of this act.
