COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. C.Nurniesioner Pane.) IN BE H. OSBORNE. This bankrupt was described as of the Catherine Wheel, Tchborne-street, wine and spirit merchant, and licenced victualler, and to-day came up to pass his last examination. Mr. Esgley appeared for the bankrupt and said that the matter came before the court on an order made by the L Ord Justices, on an appeal against a decision of Mr. Commissioner Evans, adj,uraing_the examination sine die. The learned couneet said that it was shown to the Lords Justices that the unsatisfactory state of the accounts chiefly arose through a blunder ; but fuller accounts had been made, and consequently their lord ships referred the case back to this court- Aftr some discuvion, his Honour Paid the Lords Justices had the power to pass the tx stnination, but they had not thought fit to do eo and he (his Honour) did not see why he should be place-1 in tho position to interfere with ,he lodgment of another commissioner. He would, however, gran* protection until the case could be discussed before 11r. Cofetnissioner Evans. I pm DISPUTED ADJUDICATION. Mr. Chidley said h appeared in a case of disputed adjudication, and Mr. Bagley to support. His Ron itir said he would take the case then. Mr. Chit;ley object-d to the case being heard in public court, as the name of his client might transpire and prove injurious to him, and wield only gratify the curiosity of bystanders who had Do interest in this affair. He (Mr. Chidiey) had no doubt that he should easily convince his Honour that there was no grand for the proceeding, which ought not to have been taken. The case stood over.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day). MARLBOROUG 13-STREET. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND RESCUING A PRISONER.— Caroline Brewer, one of the cia-s of unfortunates, with Edward gabble, a respectably-connected classical lec turer, were charged, the former with creating a distur bance, and the latter with attempting to rescue her from the custody of the police. Police-c)nstable Tyler said that about 3 o'clock that morning he was on duty in C )ventry street when he heard a disturhauce in Pant-n-Areet. He went up to the ep )t and found Brewer fighting with another female. He told her to cease, when she observed, "I am d if I do." Ha then took her into custody. While he and another constable were conveying her along the street the male prisoner interfered, and tried to rescue her from his custody. Witness was then compelled to convey him to the station-house. The female had been drinking. Tee male prisoner said that he had no intention to rescue the prisoner. He saw two policemen dragging the female along the street, and he thought they were using her too roughly, so he spoke to them. The police-constable stated that he had a witness to support his case. Mr. Beadon remarked that in no part of the metro polis bad the police a more difficult task to perform than in the neighbourhood of Coventry-street. He ought not to have interfered ; and if he had any complaint to make he should have gone to the station. The prisoners were fined severally 10s., or in default sent to the House of C .erection for ten days. A NOTHEIt SIMILAR CHARGE.—Thos. Duffy, amechanic, was also charged with interfering vrith a police-constable in the x -cuti n of his duty. E 101 f• ai .1 that between 12 and 1 o'clock that morn ing he was in Regent-street, when the prisoner came up to him having a female in his company, and asked him to mind her. Witness wi-hott to know for what purpose, but he made no reply, and want away. Witness watched him, and saw him go up to another female. She was i umediately struck by hire, upon which witness inter fered. He laid hold of the prisoner, as he was given into his charge by the female. While in witness's cus tody he made a most violent resistance, and witness was ()aged to have assistance to take him to the station house. The female has not attended to prosecute. The prisoner was fined 20s , or, in default, 14 days. - 117 - 109 - 103 - 62 - 101 - 84 - 85 - 99 - 10 - -10 - 72 -15 A - -14 i - 139 - 114 - 155 -- 66 - 132 - 99 - 89 11 -11 i - 104 - 97 - id TDB LATE SEWBB ACCIDENT. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wm. Baker, the coroner f.r the eastern division of Middlesex, resumed the ad journed inquest, at the London H. - tspit:al respecting the deaths of John Fitzpatrick, aged 22, William Bingham, aged 26, and George Franks, aged 32, who lost their lives in a sewer on Tuesday morning last. Ed ward APred Stacey, of No. 4, Feist Mount-terrace, Wbitechanel, assistant-surveyor to the Beard of Weeks fur the Whitechapel district, deposed that the three de cesind persons were excavators. They were in the em ploy of Mr. Thomas Ennor, the build r and. contract .r of Hardinge-street, Stepney. They were engaged in ix• cavating and destroying an old sewer for the purpose of connecting the public and private drains and gullies nih the deep sewer in the middle of the Whitechapel-real. The men had been employed about five weeks on the same work. The old sewer was on the north side of the main road, and the deposit had been removed from a portion of the old sewer, which had been filed. At the -point where the men were a , work it was feuni ►:eces sary to remove more deposit and bring up a 12-inch stone ware pipe to connect the draine with the main sewer in lieu of the di one. A tunnel had bean formed by the side of the gully pn Mon lay afternoon, and four feet of piping had been laid down when the men li ft their work on Monday evening. At szc o'clock on Tues day morning Fitzpatrick entered the tunnel to proceed with the work. At eight o'clock he had completed 10 feet more, when he placed a piece of board in front of the pipe to prevent anything from passing down the mouth of the sewer. He went back at half-past eight, and Franks and Bme,bain were standing on the top of the hole and saw Fitzpatlick fal from the effects of the rush of foul air. Ftzpatrick and Bingham died imme diately on the spot, and Franks expired shortly after warde. The man Goody. ar went to assist the ethere, but became affected, and fell across a raft of timber. Another man, named Hives, also descended, and was rendered insensible, although he had been cautioned. The latter two were still alive in the hospital, although they were insensible when taken out of the xoava Joseph Wm. Bezalgette, engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works, said that the present sewers were being carried out by the Local Dis riot Board under the new Act of Parliament which referred particular'y to main sewers. Witness bad received notice tt at works were to be constructed in the district main sewer. Oa Tuesday last witness visited the scene of the accident four hours after its occurrence. There is a plan of detecting the five noxious gases, and Dr. Letheby has the subject at pre. sent under his consideration. The men, no doubt, had taken common precaution and bad been used to the work for years. There could be au doubt as to the came of the accident. Mr. Samuel Jessop Burch, the resident medical offi cer of the London Ho-pital, said the deceased were brought to the institution about 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning. They must have quickly been deprived of life, owing to the poisonous effluvia arising from the mixed gases which were disturbed at the opening of the sewer, More especially from the sulphuretted hydrogen, which was quite sufficient to cause death immediately. Tue foul gas bad given forth a mephitic vapour to the in mates of the various parts of the hospital. There were no marks of violence, but every appearance of persons dying from poisonous gas. The question was one of a sanitary character, and no old sewer should be opened during this hot weather. Measures might have been adopted to prevent the deaths of the three persons by better ventilation of the old sewer. Tney had a small machine in use in the hospital for dieinfectieg rooms and other places, which, no doubt, would have been made usefuli the present case. Mr. H. R. Fricker, 9, Hampton-street, Gray's-inn road, surveyor to the Whiteoleapel, District Board of Works, stated that he bad superintended the works in consequence of complaints from the inhabitants of the roadside in the Whitechapel district. Witness had found the basements of many buildings decayed, and the de struction of the old sewer was decided upon. The work proceeded satisfactorily until the accident occurred on Tuesday morning last. Atter some further evidence the jury returned the following verdict:—That the deceased persons died from the noxious and mephitic vapours emitted from a sewer in the Whitechapel•road, while excavating for an im proved drainage. -,23 MAg.K.I2 LIEON6.-- (rat, Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. - 115 - 101 1144 The arrivals of English wheat fresh up, 0-day, were vary moderate, but the show of samples left over from Monday and Wednesday was rather extensive. For all ki , ds we had a heavy inquiry, at barely the late decline iu value. To have forced sales, further depressed sales must have been submitted to by the factors. Very little foreign wheat has come to hand this week ; but the show of samples, ex-granary, was huge. The trade was in a depressed state, and prices were almost nomibal. The supply of barley was limited, and most kinds sold at full prices. Fine malt was firm, at late rates; but inferior samples met a dull inquiry. Oats, beans, and peas moved off steadily, at prices fully equal to Monday. We had a dull inquiry for flour, at previous rates. ARRIVALS TIES WEEK. 18 - 19 221 - 23 93 - 100 - 100 Wheat. Barley. Malt.

He there saw the defendant with a bug stick poking a wet mat up the chimney. Complainant asked for the stick, but in,tead of his giving it to him, he struck him several times, and when he attempted to look up the chimney to see whether the fire was properly ex tinguished, another man laid hold of his collar, and the defendant again struck him. lie called the police and the defendant .was given into cu ,, tody.

THROWING RUBBISH INTO THE THAHRS.—Thomas R ley, Woe Wee,d Nerd, and James Casey were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with throwing rubbish into the Thames. Lisp c.or Everest, of the Thames Police, st•ited that at half-past 12 o'clock this morning he was on duty in a police galley off Stone.teairs, Ratcliff, when he heard a noise of something going overboard into the water. The *pinching continued, and bo ordered his men to row round a tier of shipping, and get between t wo vessels. Directly afterwards the prisoners advanced towards him in a tug boat, and wt re throwing overboard a quantity of West India pineapple rubbiab, conistiug ofstalks, leaves, , and rotten pine apples. He put his galley alongside the lug 1)1:4, and the prisoners then endeavoured t I conceal thernelvee. He went into the lug boat and took the prisoners into custody. There was a small quantity of pine apple rubbish on board the lug boat. The inspector then produced some of it. Mr. Yardley—That would float away. Everest—No, sir. One tide woull sink it—at least a great part of it. The prisoners said they were not aware they were doing wrong. There was not more than a cartload of rubs-ish in the lug boat. Mr. Yardley —But you Inuit be aware it is unlawful. Nothing impure met go into the Thames. (A. laugh.) The prisoners— There is nothing impure in the pine apple rubbish. We have been in the practice of throw iug the stuff into the river. - Mr. Yardley.—You must not do it again. There are hundreds of tons ef impure matter flowing into the Thames every day from the Bowen., but you must not throw anything impure into the river. That is the law. For what reason there is such a law, is not for me to diicuse. I naus•. admiuister the law as I find it, and you must pay respect to it. Who's the captain t atii, sir. Mr. Yardley.—Very well ; I fine you 5?. for throwing rubbish into the Thames. The others may go. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.) LorquoN, Aug. 28. —Wind this day at noon, E. to E.

The plantation ac counts are favourable, and the duty is called 160,00 /. Yearlings and old hops are very dull, :And prices are almost nominal. COLONIAL. TEA —The advices by the Overland Mail from China notice a c.insiderable decrease in the shipments of new teas, which has strengthened the tone of the market. Common Congous is *..:6d per lb. There is a good demand for all the better qualities of cougou's and green's, and full rates are current. SCGAR.—The demand has not been quite so active, and but little business has been don , , in the superior qualities previous rates howevrr are current. In the refined mar- ' kets prices are steady, but there is very little business going on either for home consumption or for exportation. COFFEE.—There has been incr:rased inquiry for planta tion Ceylon, and prices are firm. At public rale a large quantity was disposed of, and brought full values. Ja• maica and other qualities aro at firm quotations. LICE.—The market is very quiet, but there is no change to r,pi:rt in prices.

GREEN FRUIT.—The schooner Frolic has arrived with a cargo of West India pine apples, 10,000 of which, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, brought higher prices. There is no improvement in lemon , . For.ign nuts are dull, those of home growth 133ing p:eforre I, and the crop is abundant. THE GREAT EASTERN STEAM. SHIP.—The Irish papers announce, that Sir Cusack Roney has been engaged for the last few days in arranging with the Irish railway companies a system of tourist traffic. by which visitors from the American continent corning V) Europe by this wonderful ship will be taken to the chief scenes of at trao:ion in Ireland, previous to their visi.ing Scotland, England, and the Continen', under Vie privilege of tourist ticket', to be issued at the hading cities of the United States and Canada. The Great Eastern will be launched in the spring tides next November, and acter an experimental trip to Gibraltar, w i l proceeded on her first voyage to Portland, the Atlantic terminus of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, early in April next. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS.—We are authorised to state that Mr. Willert Beals has bad no connection with these gardens since the first meeting of shareholders iu April last, when he withdrew from the company. The grand closing festival, which crinntencid on Monday last, and will be continued throughout the ensuing week, was undertaken by Mr. Beale at the earnest request of M. Julien, who laid before him a statement that the ctora had suddenly announced their intention to close the gardens without paying the orchestra, whose members, he said, would be "sent adrift" unless be (Mr. Beals) came forward to acsi.t them. Mr. Beale consented, advanced the necessary funds, and will doubt= less bring the season to a profitable termineion. Mon day, Tuesday, and Wednesday ut x',; will be devoted to the benefit of M.

But, in addition, I have received fr.to Major-General Davis and Col.

Ferguso , , the present Governor of Gibraltar. Lastly, I e-close a letter from the Duke of Richmond, and requtst the favour of its insertion. The Duke was on Wellington's person.' staff at the battle. Aug. 27. W. NAPIER, Leut.-General. "To LIEUT -GENERAL NAPIER, AUG 24. "I can confirm your statement respecting Fuentes d'Onoro. The outposts of the Guards, under the corn wand of Lieut.-Colonel Hill, were in the act of getting together when they were ordered to extend ; at that moment the enemy's. o ►valry charged, and of course took si me prisoners, and sabred a few ; the Lieut.-Colonel Was taken. "I wish the cavalry had ever attempted cne of our squar, s, as it would have put a stop to the which has since been expressed, that Dragoons have the slightest chance against an infantry square.

Your ROBERT sry a BLANE, Lieutenant-Colonel. The Oaks, Chertsey, zi *** We d o not pretend to any k n owledge of General Codrington w conbaential communications with the War Department, of which Col mei plane thinks we ought to be informed.

THE TELEIRAPH TJ INDIA BY THII RED ROUTE. Several letters containing matter of much inte rest on this important subject have recently Leen addressed to the Chairman of the East India Com pany by Mr. Marshman, the chairman of the assn ' ciation formed for the construction of a telegraphic line by way of the Red Sea to India. These letters state the views of the association in connection with their great undertaking, and the advantages and iifficultie3 of the Red Sea line of route with much dearness and imp irtisl;ty. Reference is made to seine previous communication to the Court of Directors about two year; ago from an association Formed t) censtruet a telegraph ft orn the Darda nelles to Alexandria, with a view to its ext , nsion to ludis, and the proposal was then favourably re eeive by the India House. Circumstances at that period induced the parties to leave their pr eject in abeyance pending the negotiations with the Egyp tian and Turkish Governmen•s for &mans to lay the cable down in the Red Sea. Then) firmans having recently been ( - let eined, the promoters of the undertaking consider themselves in a position to resume it with all necessity powers. Referring to a proposed line of telegraphic communication to India through Mesopotamia and down the Persian Gulf, the promoters of the Red Sea line repudia'o any wi-1 to interfere with any arrengements that have been made, though they express a strong pinion that any proposal which should secure to India telegraphic communication within a certain period ought not to be delayed without the gravest lemon, even though the result should eventually tie a double line. Having exclusive possession of a firwan from the Pasha of Egypt and the Suldime Porte Er the Red Sea route, no necessity exists for the exertion of any political influence in nego tiatiens, nor for any further delay. The assowa tion therefore proposes to establish telegraphic communication from Alexandria to Suez by land, and from Suez to Aden, and thence to Kurra chee by a submarine cable. The distance from Alexandria to Suez is 249 miles • from Suez to Aden and from Aden to Kurrachee the ' length of the cable required will be no less than 4,163 miles, ,divided into sections, none of which are to exceed 500 miles in length. The expeusss of the whole undertaking from Alexandria to Kur rachee, with a liberal allowance for contingencies, is estimated as being at the most 700,0001. The association also calculates that tie time for con structing and laying down the cable, dating from the period the manufacture commences to the actual opening of the communication, will not ex ceed eight months to Aden, and four additional months to Kurrachee. It has been assumed that the extensive coral reefs in the Red Sea present insuperable obstacles to a submarine telegraph, but from a most careful survey of the coast on either shore it has been ascertained that the cab'e can be laid beyond the line of coral, except wi era it is necessary to approach one or two stations, and even at those places the reefs, it is believed, can always be avoided.by careful soundings. The assistance which the association consider in dispensable to the organisation of the undertaking is a guarantee of 6 per cent. on the capital required, to commence from the delivery of the first message. In return for this concession the association would eive all Government despatches priority as to time of sending. The rate of subsidy accoided to the Atlantic Telegraph is 4 per cent. by the Govern ment of the United States, and 4 per cent, by the Government of Great Britain-8 per cent. in all. It is further offered by the association that Govern ment messages from or to India• by the Red Sea should be coaveye I at the same rate as private on -!s, and the association agree that all reee'pts, from whatever source, :Inn be appropriated to, satisfy the guirantee, which is to cease and cl- , t4fr-__ miue as soon as the amount has been entirely liqui dated. With regard to the communication between. Alexandria ant the continent tf Eu;ope, as there are several agencies in the M=Aiterninean now em ployed in plans for completing it, the company th;nk there is little doubt tliatit will be perfec ecJ by the time the linefrom Alexandria to Kurrached is in readiness ; but if these expectations shoula not be realised they express their willingness to lip down a cable between Alexandria and the Darda- , Ilene', a distance of 800 mil , s. Accompanying this - sta'ement to the chairman of the East India Cona 7 , pany is a letter from Mr. Bright, the engineer of • the Atlantic Telegraph Company, in which, after giving a decided preference to the Red Sea line of telegraph with India, he goes on to say that the coral is by no means an insurmountable ob= stacle, as can be seen by the working of the &it Mediterranean submarine line, which crosses coral_ . several times. On the other hand, Mr. Bright ex , .' presses his b.:lief that the proposed line througli Mesopotamia will be most difficult, if not impossi to maintain, as lie has found that " even in the ruder parts of Ireland it requires the most con.; tinual watchfu'ne is to keep the wires from injury." Mr. L. Gisborne also gives his testimony as - tothe facility with which the coral re.fs iu the Red Sea . • may 1.;(3 avoided, or that even where it is necessary or expedient to cress them in approaching the shore stations it may b 3 done without injury or extra expense in the construction of the line. The cor respondence concludes with a letter from the de puty-chairman of the company, in which the writer calls the attention of the East India Company to the abrupt failure of the Atlantic Telegraph, and suggests that the 2,000 miles of cable still unused on board the Agamemnon and Niagara can be im mediately applied in forming the submarine line from Alexandria to Aden, without further 1 as of time than that necessary for the vessels to accom plish their voyage. It adds that at this period of the year and in the present state of the money-mar- ket it would be impossible to raise the capitalueces sary for the purpose r:f establishing the undertaking at once, unless the Eist India Company would en gage to contribute from the date of receiving the first message between Aden and Alexandria, land in exisideration for messages conveyed and priority of transmission, the annual sum of 20,0001., to cea-e and determine when the company obtained a profit from its general receip's of 6 per cent. With this letter the correspondence cl.oses, and the twit ter is still under the consideration of the Court of Directors, though it is generally believed that an answer favourable to the immediate adoption of the latter proposition will be returned. A TIME BALL AT GLASGOW. The North British Daily Mail gives the fol To wing description of the time ball which has been set up on the tower of the ai!ois' Home at t-; lasgo : " Passing to the roof we observe the ball itself, resting on a turned moulding and seeming to h been a part of the original design of the tower. This ball is made of the fined mahogany, and built of a series of circles crossit 6 , 4 ach other at rig ht angles and so arrang d as tofo . m a sphere, which is covered with zinc to pro ect it ffom the weather. A great amount of care and labour has been he st wed on this part, whiclvis the workmanship f Mr. Thomas Colquhoun ' St. Vincent-street, asalso he base on which it tests. We will now describe its operation. On the ground floor of the shipping office, farthest removed from the street, a very fine kbt ro n clock is s,-eurely bolted the wall, fitted with a series of wheel-work which revolve ros.ectively in 24 how s, 1 hour, and 1 minute. When the 2tbour wheel makes one turn; a weighted lever falls into a notch on its edge, falling at the same ante ou the 1 hour wheel, which has also a notch on its edv. If the two notches are opposite, the leer falls so far that a mai gold spring covers the 60th second, awl when the s.c aid hand touches it, a Shoeu levers the ball h is wound them current of electricity p asses from the clock to the u u p p l t se o r stthoeretyopofotf thehetowe V pillar tw a se n l d ve a s p i tdg n,etnoi:oe y .i es A in h t e h a e vy ro w d e , ig a h n t d h : a u n s g ta s i o n v t e h r e ti b le . s l e l from levels, but ispr evented ft out dropping by the k ee p er of an electro ma g eet, which is fixed on the s quare pillar ; and, when the electric current to pa tile cluck, it circulates round this magnet, and at. trac ts the keeper, which allowing the weightssesfm working wilnigic airtight the ball is elevated drop unhooks the levers and the hall falls.

" It has been arranged that the ball is to I e hoisted half-mast high at five minutes before onJ p.m. ; at two minutes before one it is to be raised to the top of the rod ; and at one precisely it is to drop—showing the Greenwich mean time to within the tenth part of a second.
