He did not appear to-day, and it was u n derstood at the last meeting that he was to De proclaimed formally an outlaw. IN RE ---. TH E NEW INSOLVENT ACT.—An application was made to his Honour for a warrant against a debtor Who had not paid up the instalments on an order of the Court, nor had he attended the summons which Was issued on the 14th instant, the day before the new Act came into operation, removing t he insolvenc y business, &c., from this Court. His HONOUR said, according to his readin g of the Act, he had no power to grant a warrant. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DA - _ IN RE JORDEN CHADWICK THE ELDER. i The insolvent, an old man nearly e i g ht y y ears old, 'loose case was before the Court a few days ago, again appeared. Ile had been an old soldier, and had i i 1 4 * imagined that he was heir - a t-law to Sir An "reiv Chadwick, and as such entitled to the estates belonging to the title in the neighbourhood of Ox ford -street. He had commenced litigation, and put Messrs. Broadwood, the brewers, to considerable law e rPenses. To-day he again appeared, and had not filed the a t eeuments, which he said would pro ve his title. The object was that the papers should be filed in Court to Prevent further litigation. Mr. Commissioner Pumrs—Where is your pedi gree? Insolvent—lt is at Hackney. Mr. Commissioner Punars—l suppose at a public 'louse ? Insolvent—Yes, it is. The case was adjourned until the pedigree and other documents were forthcoming. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Charlotte Mackell was indicted for stealing a counterpane, and two blankets, from her ready furnished lodgings. It appeared that the prisoner, during a moment of extreme distress, took the above articles to one of those dens of extortion and robbery called " dolly. 1 . 1/° . PS. " Upon one article the shop kee p er lent sh i lling, and upon the prisoner g oin g to release it, or all they call it, re-purchase it, on the following day , sh e was charged twopence by way of interest. The bl ankets she deposited on Sunday, for two shillings 41 1 d sixp enc e, and released them on Monday, when she h a d to pay f ou rpence for the use of that sum for °ne day. The parties using those shops were gene- Nl3, the most destitute, and the articles they bring to them such as, though indispensable to the unfortu nate persons pawning, yet would not be taken by many of the regular pawnbrokers. Another thing which makes those harpies drive a blest profitable trade is the fact of there being no Other resource to raise money on a Sunday, and osNuently upon that day they make their chief harvest. The prisoner was found Guilty, and The ASSISTANT JUDGE, in sentencing her to be Imprisoned for two months, commented strongly upon robberies inflicted upon the most helpless and desti- Nte classes in the metropolis by these dolly shops," and said he hoped the police would keep a close eye 11 1 3 en these extortioners. Charlotte Turner, a young woman w ho was well knownl to the police as an adept in robbi n g furnished l odgings, was found Guilty on two indictments, and s entenced to four motithi , imprisonment for each °lfenee. BOW -STREET.—(THIS DAY.) George Winchester was placed at the bar, before "r. Jardine, on a charge of stealing a pair of silver s ugar tongs and some spoons, from the chambers of Bowden, solicitor, 23, Lincoln's Inn. I ,lt appeared that this morning, about ten o'clock, " 11 ' Bowden's servant met the prisoner leaving the sitting-room. lle asked the prisoner if he wa nted 14 r. Bowden ; he said he did, but it was of r.o ! °s"soquence, h and e would call again. The servant, "!ever, insisted cm his returning. On entering the Isitting_room with the prisoner he missed the articles in question, and charged the prisoner with stealing hero. The prisoner admitted the theft, and produced them from his pocket. The servant had left the t ° ol ll but a few minutes before, leaving the out e r d oor open, The inner door could be opened from the outside, without a key. Mr. JARDINE said that he would remand the pri soner till Tuesday next, as the police might obtain I ,9 f cirmation affecting him, and on the next examina tion he would commit the prisoner for trial. THAMES.--(THIS DAY.) Guillaume Coignier, a Frenchman, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing six leather skins, value 2/. ss. 2d., the property of Messrs. Bowie and ilzureey, proprietors of the well-known model lo d g in g - O use in Glasshouse-yard, N 4, hitechapel an d George ~ rortlley, a boot and shoemaker, was cha r g ed with re ceiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. The Particulars have already appeared in The Sun. This morning additional corroborative evidence was a dduced against Coignier, and it was also prov ed t hat e had pl un d er ed the establishment for some time, several cases being clearly made out against him, on all Which charges he was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Mr. H o d g son, solicitor, who appeared for Crowley , then th e brought forward evidence to his chara cter, and Policeman, 1 - 1 162, who had the charge , b said he bo re the c haracter in the neighbourhood of a n hon e s t In dustrious man, and had been a master trad esman for e ightee n years. Mr. YARDLEY said that might avail him in another Place, but he should not be doing his duty to the Public it he were to overlook what he considered a rse offence. Ile should commit him likewise to ewgate to take his trial for receiving stolen goods, k nowing them to have been such. Air. Hodgson then applied for him to be admitted to bail, and Mr. YARDLEY, after some consideration, consented ;'° accept bail for the prisoner's appearance, himself in 100/. and two good and substantial sureties in the loui of 50/. each. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Geo rge L ang l ey an d G eorge Cane were charged Wit h stealing two coats, and other articles of wearing an„ . s - r t r ar el, the p r operty of the guardians of the poor of Pancra s parish. a hey came into the house in a destitute and most filthy conditi on and were supplied with clothes and stnt to the stone-yard, from which they immediately a ecnid ecl, taking all the clothes they had just re crived with them. In about a week afterwards they returned, with nothing on them but trousers and shirt, wh en they were given into custody. These thefts wer e , it was said, becoming customary amongst the more confirmed pauper vagrants. They were committed to prison for 14 days. R EGISTRATCONS.-(THIS DAY. ‘VESTMINSTER. . The R ev i s i ng B arrister (Mr. Bay l ey ) sa t t o -d ay at ten o'clock, in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, West minster Hall. Mr. Smith, whose case was reported yesterday, Was called and examined— He said he was the owner of a house situated in Earl's-court ; that he occupied merely a cellar, in which he kept flag stones and building materials; that its value was under 3/. a year, and that the rest of the house was let in tene- The n to eight different parties, whom be supplied with lat c h -key s . He kept a key himself, and was in the habit of goi n backwards and forwards to t he house almost dai ly. , The door of the cellar w as locked with a padlock. He did not reside in the house, but be paid the rent and taxes. The REVISING BARRISTER said, the question was whether the occupation of the cell ar in the way stated by the witness was an occupatio n of the whole house or not. He was of opinion that such an occupancy was not sufficient, and disallowed the claim. Mr. Huggett said he should appeal to the Court above against the decision. Mr. Steel claimed in respect of a house rented by him at No. 17, Peter-street, St. James's. The case was exactly like the preceding one. The claim ant lived at No. 3, Pickering-place, and his vote was dis allowed for that house in consequence of the omission of his name from the rate books. The claim was disallowed. The decision will be appealed against. No other cases of the slightest importance occurred during the morning. A gentleman was robbed of 3,8001. on Sunday last, whilst listening to one of the local preachers, who OD each Sabbath, frequent the area in front of the Liver pool custom-house. He has offered a reward, but no clue to the thief has been discovered. HEAVY Cuor or WilEA.T.—From a piece of ground 11. t o Norton, i n t h e possess i on o f Mr. R. Linton, there has _be. Al reaped, in exce ll ent con di t i on , a splendid crop of wheat, With the enorraoui yield of 120 stooks to the acre. " - Sunderland Herald, E SUN, LONDaN, Newport Abergy., and Heref. 4 ......

A decided increase has taken place in the arrivals of English Wheat for our market, this week, coastwise, as well as by land carriage. The show of samples, this morning, was moderately good, and the demand for all descriptions was exceedingly heavy, at barely Monday's reduced currencies. Nearly 20,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand since Saturday evening. As a large quantity was brought forward to-day, the sales progressed heavily, and, in some instances, the quota tions were almost nominal. The be e t malting Barley supported late rates ; but all other kinds were a mere drug. In Malt very few sales took place. Peas, how ever, ruled about stationary. There was less business doing in Oats, and the damp qualities might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour as last advised. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barlay. 2,610 qrs. 1,930 qrs. Oats. I Flour 550 qrs. I 1,250 ski. 11,720 I 3,l:llnOdbli. 4,310 Malt. 1,210 on. WELITECICAPEZ. MONEY and COM - tIERCIAL NEWS.I CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool was dull ag lin yes terday, and closed very heavily. American sorts were d. per lb. for ord., and mid. and other qualities under went less change. American were 60. to 7d. per lb. Total sales 1,500 bales. Railway Shares generally de clined, and the market closed very flatly, with a consi derable amount of stock offering. The steamer from New York is looked for with great interest, and perhaps we might add, with some anxiety, but there are many parties who yet hope that the mer cantile community in America may not have suffered much from the stoppages known to have occurred here up to the period of the last accounts received out. How the more recent reverses will be borne remains to be seen. The firm of Perkins, Schlusser, and Mullins, to which we alluded yesterday, has extensive connexions both with Russia and India, and the liabiliti, s are about 250,0001. The whole of their remittances from India were, we believe, upon Reid, Irving, and Co. The West India house spoken of has publicly contradicted the report circulated so generally yesterday. At Man chester several houses have succumbed to the pressure. The discount houses are still doing very little busi ness, and require more than the usual number of names to hills, or some collateral security. Messrs. Sander son are daily receiving large sums from bills falling in. Messrs. Cockerell's estate is said to promise very fairly, but a winding-up is a sad affair where property has to be realised in periods of mistrust. There are accounts ot July 25th from the Cape ot Good Hope. On the frontier cattle stealing was still carried on, and the effect of the reverse sustained by our troops at Burn's Hill had been to alter the deter mination of the Chief Pato, who was previously in. clined to surrender himself, with his horses, guns, &c. The Stock Market is looking rather firmer again, and there is a decided improvement in the tone. Consols have been up to 854 for Money, and to 86 and 86i for Account. Exchequer-bills have realised 2s. to 6s. premium. The statements relative to Messrs. Cockerell and Sanderson's have had a good effect The Foreign Market is totally inactive. Spanish Three per Cents. are 281, Mexican 19, and Brazilian Small 80. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 54 to 54g.

ACCIDENT TO VISCOUNTMORPiTII.—We regret to state that the Noble First Commissioner of the Woods and Forests met with a serious accident last week by a fall from his horse, which has since confined him to his room at Castle Howard. It appears his Lordship's horse stumbled and threw him, by which he sustained some contusions on his lace, and other bruises. The Earl and Countess of Carlisle were entertaining a large party at the time, and the accident of course caused great alarm amongst the visitors. His Lordship, we are happy to state, according to accounts received at Carlisle House yesterday, was going on favourably, and is expected in town next week. WEDNESDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 29, 1647.

In the year 1588 Felipe 11., King of Spain, hav ing resolved to distress Elizabeth, fitted out a fleet, called the "Invincible Armada." It consisted of 150 large ships, on board of which were mounted 2,620 pieces of cannon, 8,000 seamen, 20,000 soldiers, aad the flower of the Spanish nobility. This fleet, com manded by the Duke of Medina-Sidonia (one of the ancestors of that high-minded Grandee of the same name, who accompanies the Conde de Montemolin), sailed from Lisbon (Portugal being at that time in possession of the Spaniards): when the season was too far advanced, and being overtaken by a violent storm, a great part of it was dispersed. Twelve ships, driven upon the coast of England, were captured by the English fleet, which consisted of one hundred sails ; fifty were wrecke I upon the coasts of France, Scotland, Holland, Ireland, and Denmark. Such was the disastrous fate of an expedition from which nothing less than the subjugation of England had been anticipated. When the sad news was brought to Felipe he coolly uttered these words—" I did not send it against the wind !" FALMOUTH, SEPT. 24.—The late prevailing west erly and north-west winds have caused a great augmen tation of arrivals of grain vessels at this anchorage, which, at the present moment contains at least 150 ships chiefly from the Mediterranean, waiting for orders. These are irrespective of the ordinary daily arrivals and departures at and from the port. This large fleet em braces a variety of flags, rather more than one-third being French, Austrian, Russian, Prussian, Norwegian, Bblgian, Swedish, Danish, Ilanoverian, Hamburgh, Greek, lonian, and Maltese. The cargoes, which vary in quantity from 300 to 3,000 quarters, are chiefly wheat, barley, or maize, almost without exception in good con dition, and the freights range the wide latitude of from Bs. to 28s. per q uarter. A great number of the vessels are ordered to the continent. The Marchioness Wellesley, accompanied by her relative, Mr. M'T avish, is ex p ected to embark at the close of the ensu in g week, for the United States, on a visit to her family connexions in that country.

The gentleman followed to hear the charge that would be made made against them, and was treated with coarseness by the keeper and officers, and ordered out of the st a ti on -h ouse . H e h a d v oluntarily left his business almost unprotected to state the facts. Mr. Rushton severely reprimanded the officers, and ordered officer No. 405 (whose conduct had been the most improper) to be suspended.

A form of thanksgiving for the late abundant har vest was ordered. The Hon. 'William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Uouneil in waiting.

The royal dinner circle included her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, his Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Leiningen, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Lord John Russell, Colonel the Hon. C. B. and Mrs. Phipps, and Sir George Couper. Yesterday morning her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent took leave of her Majesty and Prince Albert, crossed in the Fire Queen, commanded by Captain Johnson, to Gosport, and took her departure for her residence, Frogmore House, near Windsor.

Di-patches were received yesterday at the Colo nial-office, from the Governors of New South Wales, South Australia, and New Zealand. Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governor of Van Diemen's Land. REPORTED FAILURE. We have been requested to publish the following .etter " 3, New Bank-buildings, Sept. 28, 1847. "Messrs. Mannings and Anderdon present their compliments to the editor of The Sun, and having had their attention called to a wanton falsehood in the Standard paper of this evening, purporting that they have stopped payment, they are assured that the edi tor of The Sun will allow them to give a prompt and decided contradiction, through his paper, to a state ment for which there is not the slightest foundation or pretence." THE RIVER PLATE. The following letter of Lord Howden to Sir Thomas Herbert will show what his views were in retiring so suddenly and unceremoniously from the position taken by the British Government; and in justice to the parties injured by this course, we give a few observations upon it contained in a letter from Monte Video : " Monte Video, July 15, 1847. " my instructions from Lord Palmerston, dated March 22, 1847, it is said— " You can, if needful, give the arrangements the character of simple military conventions, involving no idea of a recognition of rights, but simply con taining the admission of an existing fact, that certain persons are at the head of certain bodies of troops.' " Acting according to the spirit of this permission, and anxious to avoid the dreadful expenditure of human life, cruelly and unprofitably consumed in a war such as this, when, though the daily conflicts be inconclusive anSinglorious, the sum total of death at the end of the month is very considerable, I proposed, in concert with my colleague, Count Walewski, a fair and honourable armistice to the Government of Monte Video and to General Oribe. It was to last six months, during which time the town was to be pro visioned by General Oribe, who was to furnish, at the lowest price of first cost, 1,500 head of cattle per month. " General Oribe accepted this armistice, not only with the condition imposed, but in a manner by which the title he assumes of legal president should not be presented in signature, so as to incapacitate the Pleni potentiaries of England and France affixing their names to the document. " The Government of Monte Video has refused this armistice, which I do not hesitate to say was ad vantageous to ita interests, as it was without money, without credit, and without native troops. " As I consider, first, that the Orientals of Monte Video are not at this moment free agents, but entirely controlled by a foreign garrison ; and, secondly, that the blockade, having entirely lost its original charac ter of a coercive measure against General Rosas, has become exclusively a mode of supplying with money, partly the Government of Monte Video, and partly certain foreign individuals there, to the continued detriment of the extensive and valuable commerce of England in these waters ; I hereby request you, sir, to raise the blockade of both sides of the river Plate, and to take the measures necessary for ceasing all further intervention in these waters. " After acting together for so long a time, allow me to take this opportunity for thanking you sincerely for the uniformly kind and effective assistance I have received from you on every occasion for the further ance of her Majesty's service during a protracted and difficult negotiation.—l have the honour, &c.

From t'e Official List, FLIBLISTIED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. NEW SOUTH WALES. We have received advices from Parramata to the 25th April, and from Adelaide to,the 26th May. The following is the abstract of the revenue of the colony (exclusively of Port Phillip) in the quarters ending the 31st March, 1846 and 1847. We find a decrease tof 7,7191. 17s. ld. in the corresponding quarter of 1846. The gross amount of the general revenue for the past quarter is 47,7091. 6s. 7d. ; of the Crown re venues, 5,530/. 16s. ld. The total decrease amounts to 12,2141. lls. 6d., from which the increase (chiefly arising in duties on foreign goods imported, and spirits distilled in the colony) is to be deducted, leaving, as we have stated above, a decrease of 7,7191. 17s. ld. Goon NEWS.—We have been politely favoured by a gentleman who has just received advices from home, with the intelligence that the wheat shipped home, per the Benjamin Hope, realised 9s.

ADELAIDE, MAY 26.—The completion of the South Australian Mining Association's deed of settlement made quite a sensation in Adelaide ; and, coupled with the highly favourable report from " Stocks' Shaft," had a tendency to influence the market value of shares.

Caledonian DEATH or DOCTOR CURRAN.—Dr. John Oliver Curran, whose illness of fever we mentioned some days ago, sunk rapidly during the latter part of Saturday, and through the night of that day ; and, notwithstand ing all that the skill and brotherly aid of the ablest men in the profession could effect, the fatal typhus claimed him for its victim, and he expired at nine o'clock on the Sunday morning—another bright name added to the list of martyrs of the medical profession in Ireland. Dr. Curran had but entered his 27th year. He was a professor of the practice of medicine to the Apothecaries' Hall, a licentiate of the College of Physicians, a graduate of Trinity College, a member of the Royal ' lrish Aca demy, and attached to all the literary and scientific institutions in this city. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—The Boston and Halifax royal mail steam-ship Caledonia, with dates from New York to the 15th inst., is now due.

SuoAa.—To-day a decline in the value of several sorts of Raw Sugar took place, in consequence of the great increase there was in the supply at market ; but the home trade were induced to operate upon a larger scale, whilst shippers directed their attention more to the article. In West India Muscovado a large business was transacted both for refining and grocery purposes ; but C - ie rates taken privately were 6i per cwt under those that existed previously. The total purchases were 720 hhds and tres, including at public sale 123 hhds 9 trcs Bar badoes, which sold at full rates. REFINED.—To - flay refined goods were purchased to a fair extent by the home trade ; standard lumps fetched 54s 6d, and brown grocery 54s per cwt.
