COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE E. R. NAM - JUDGMENT ON CERTIFIOAT.W.--SUS. PENSION FOR TWO YEARS. This bankrupt had ca rr i e d on buq.ness as a wine mer• chant on College-hill, and applied a few days since for his certificate, which was opposed, atd after bearing arguments his Honour took time to consider his judg ment. Hts Honour now said that the granting the certificate had been opposed on the ground that at the time he commenced business he was insolvent to a very large amount, which be did not disclosp to the parties from whom he had obtained goods, and that he had ex pended the proceeds in the maintenance of himself, his wife, and fitrui!y. He (his Honour) could not discover that the bankrupt ever really intended to trade, and could not help thinking that his object was to obtain a dischrge from his debts, by means of a certificate in bankruptcy. It was a very bad case, the worst that had ever come before him, and be should have refused the certificate altogether, except for the decision in the case ea, parte ?dailies, 3 De Gex, M, N, and G. The cases were the same in principle, and he should, therefore, suspend the certificate for two years without protection for six months. IN 111 GOTCH AND GOTCH.-BANK FAILURE.

Upon asking him how he received his injuries, he said, " Cagey, the back room lodger ;" and on going into that room he f mnd Casey, who did not deny the act, and was therefore given into charge. The wounded man was taken to the London Hospital, and being too unwell to attend the Court, The prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL. A STRANGE CASE.—A young rune, 18 years of age, named Yardley, was placed at the bar before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with stealing a watch from the person of railway porter, named Henry Stephens, residing in Cavendish-terrace, &nab Lambeth. A young man, named Welch, deposed that he was in St. Paul's-churchyard yesterday afternoon, when the civic procession was approaching St. Paul's. Whilst standing there ho observed the prisoner and another man who was with him go up to the prosecutor and surround him, as it were, the prisoner having his hand under a handkerchief near the prosecutor's waistcoat pocket. He saw him pass something to his companion, and when they left the prosecutor witness saw his silver watch-guard hanging down without any watch to it. Ho spoke to the prosecutor, and they went in search of the prisoner, and found him afterwards in the crowd, when he was given into the custody of police-constable 167. The prosecutor deposed that he ras unconscious of being robbed till the last witness spike to him. On examining his watch guard, he found his watch had been stolen, the ring being left behind. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he was in nocent, and that the witness Welch was mistaken in him. When he was apprehended he had a parcel in one hand and an umbrella in the other, so that it was im possible that he could have commit - ed the robbery. The foreman in the machine department of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, extensive printers, Whitefriars, came for ward and said that the prisoner was a respect able youth, and ha considered the witness Welch was mistaken in him. Tho prisoner left Messrs. Bradbury and Evans' premises by witneie' d permission about half past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to fetch an umbrella and mackintosh from Moorgate.stroet. The prisoner bad been 18 months in Messre. Bradbury and Evans' employ, and witness had a character with him from Mr Gough's, for whom the prisoner had worked previously. Mr. Martin —lt is a very extraordinary thing, but your men often get into trouble. We have had ooe er two of them here lately. The Foreman said he could not account for it. His employers were the largest printers in the kingdom, and had to employ a great number of men and boys. He had 50 boys in his department, and he believed there were upwards of 150 boys altogether employed on the establishment. If the prisoner had not been a re spectable youth and conducted himself with propriety he would not have remained so long in Messrs. Bradbury and Evans's employ, and had his wages raised from 7s. to 12e. per week. Mr. Marti❑ (to Welch)—What time passed between your seeing the robbery and the prisoner's apprehension ? Welch---About 20 minutes. Police-constable 167, stated that when he apprehended the prisoner he bad a mackintosh and umbrella in his band. On searching him he found Bid., a key and a knife on his person. Sir Peter Laurie said it was a strange case. The pri soner would now see the advantage of a good character, for in consequence of what had been stated by Messrs. Bradbury and Evans's foreman he should discharge him. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. 'MARLBOROUGH STREET.

She was allowed a night's lodging in the workhouse, and turned out this morning. Mr. Sclfe—l think if the Board of Guardians of St. George knew your case they would take you into the workhouse, of relieve lOU, and pass you back to your native country.

AN UNNATURAL FATHER. —A journeyman carpenter, named Mesnil, of 45, Rue St. Jacques, was on Saturday tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for ill-treat- ing his son, aged eleven. It was proved that he had made a sort of box in which he fastened the child's leg by means of a chain, closed by a padlock, and compelled the poor boy to remain so for days together. Being unable to change his position, the poor child suffered greatly, and uttered loud cries. The neighbours at length com plained to the police, and rescued the boy. The man admitted that he had confined the boy in a "little ma- chine," but said that he had done so because the child, being of a roving disposition, would not remain at home The tribunal sentenced the father to six months' impri- , nment. BOBBERY BY A COAOHMAN.—A person of Vaugirard, who died a few days back, left a considerable sum in money and securities, tngether with various effects ; and, in order to afford time to ascertain his directions repecting the disposal of them, they were placed in a room which was sealed up.

They each before settiog out for the place of execution asked for a cap of coffee, which was given them. They were conveyed to the scaffold i❑ a cart under an escort of gendarmerie, and as the crowd alsembled amounted at least to 10,000 persons, it was deemed necessary to sur round the ecaffjld with a cordon of troops. The con demned men ascended the steps with great firmness, and in a few seconds human justice was satisfied.l RIOTING IN BORRISOKANE.—At the fair at Borrisokane on last Saturday, after the business of the day, the farm ing and labouring classes indulged to a great extent in drinking spirituous liquors, which was attended with the mo't disgraceful riots, and were it not for the unceasing exertions of a large police force, under Sub-inspector Healy, in arresting the principa's, the most serious consequences might have eventuated. The constabu lary patrolled the town, which was greatly disturbed till late at night, and while suppressing a riot at eight o'clock Sub-covetable Aiken was knocked down, kicked ou the face, from the effects of which he bled profusely, and was so seriously injured that he is not yet pronounced out of danger by Dr. Nl‘Garvey, who was promptly on the spot and dressed his wounds. Sub-constable D myer also received injuries of the hand, but not of a serious nature. Head-constable Aubrey arrested the principale, who were fighting in a most serious manner, and conveyed them with much difficulty to the barracks.

Eugene Poujade, from which we glean the fol lowing :—ln virtue of the Tani mat, the inequality of taxation has &most entirely disappeared, the only difference still in, existence resulting from the dif ferent periods at which the harvests are got in in that vast empire, and the different nature of the produce. There are also certain districts privi leged in consquence of treaties or otherwise, such as Moldavia and Wallachia, Servia, Egypt, the island of Samos, Mount Lebanon, and the merely nominal vassals, such as the Princes of Abyssinia, Yemen, Tunis, and Montenegro. With these exceptions, taxation is regu larly established everywhere as follows :-1.

The public debt of Turkey is composed of the following items : amount of two loans , 200,000,000 francs ; paper money bearing interest , 60,000,000 f. ; ditto not bearing interest, 76 , 000,000 f.,; debts of the arsenal, 16,0 00 ,0 00 f. ; ditto of Top hana 10,000,000 f. ; ditto of the seraskierate, 10,0 00 , 000 f. ci vil list of the Sultan, 40,000,000 f. ; sundries, resulting f roM war, &c., 80,000,000 francs.

The m etallic currency in circulation amoun ts to about 5 o t 160,000,000 francs ; it does not contain more than 45 per cent. of intrinsic value, and the balance of value therefore, constitutes an additional debt, which will be felt as soon as Turkey shall begin to substitute unalloyed coin far this base currency, which she will soon be obliged to do in order to establish her credit. The paper money being depreciated in proportion to the eoin, the Turkish Government will, in the event contemplated, have to reimburse it at its full value, an operation which will entail an additional lose of about 70,000,000 francs. CANADA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Montreal Ocean. Steamship Company's steamer Indian, Jones commander, has arrived from Quebec with dates to the 26th ult., 50 cabin, and 115 steerage passenger,. The Indian experi enced cloudy and thick, foggy weather, strong breezes, hail and rain. On the 25th, off the Pilgrims, passed the ship Ailsa, of • Glasgow and China, and on the sam e d ay , off H are I s l an d s, t h e ship spindola, of Portgrund, and the Montezuma, of Falmouth, all bound up ; on the 27th spoke the Abigail, of Poole, from Bristol, out 38 days ; on the 29th, with Belle Isle abeam, passed several icebergs ; and on the Ist inst. exchanged signals with the Royal Mail steamship Anglo Saxon, bound west. The Montreal Eiening Pilot states that a gene ral election was about to take pl ace a t T oron t o, an d that the Opposition anticipated the overthrow of the present Ministry, and that there was a rumour to the effect that there was to be an immediate union of the British and North American provinces, and that delegates from Nova Scotia, New Bruns.: wick, &c., were hurrying up to Toronto to take the matter into consideration. Military desertions bad become so prevalent (says the Quebec Gazette) that the Commander-in-Chief bad prevailed on the authorities to offer rewards for the arrest of all delinquents, and to warn all persons against employing them. The commencement of the extension of the Grand Trunk Railroad east of St. Thomas is an nounced. A person at Mal Bay (Gaspe) had advertised the recovery of the mail which was on board the wrecked steamer Clyde from some fishermen, who had found it some miles from the wreck, but find ing no money in it had determined to destroy the contents. Among the letters are bills to the amount of 40,8051. The Quebec timber•market showed no signs of improvement, although there had been several large sales ; vessels had arrived pretty numerously. Freights.--To London, 355. ; to Liverpool, no thing doing, few being inclined to ship at any rate ; to the Clyde, 295. to 30s. THE ROYAL INTERVIEW AT WEIMA.R, A few days ago we gave extracts from articles published by the Zeit of Berlin and the Austrian Gazette on the subject of the interview at Weimar. Both journals congratulated themselves on the meeting of the Emperors, but the Zeit insinuated that the Cabinet of Vienna felt the necessity of re pairing its errors. The Austrian Gazette appears to have been much annoyed at that assertion, and in a fresh article, entitled " Anvil or hammer," reproaches Prussia with not having been represented either at Stuttgard or at Weimar. It says : " The absence of Prussia was neither remarked by France nor Russia, but it has been by Austria and by Germany, which has a right to look up to Prussia. A great question, not only European, but, by the effects it may produce, really German, is shortly to receive a solution—we allude to the definitive organisation of the Danubian principalities. In that question, Austria presents herself nearly alone with the suzerain power, whose interests are here perfectly identical with those of Germany. The Germanic Confederation has, besides, admitted that it is interested in the matter, and now the second great German power declares that Prussia has no interest at stake on the Lower Danube. It hence follows that in the case in question Germany has referred the matter entirely to Austria, who, on her part, only takes counsel from herself." The Gazette adds that a State can neither be strong nor powerful when it proclaims its neutrality on all questions. " The reign of 1,000 years (the mil lennium), whenever it commences, may," it says, "modify' these conditions, but every State which in waiting for this reign does not perform the part of the hammer will be reduced to that of the anvil." All this relates to the neutral attitude assumed by Prussia in the question of the principalities, in which the Cabinet of Berlin refused to support the interest of Austria as a Germanic matter.

PRESENCE OF MIND.—The Norwalk (Connec ticut) Gazette says—" On Saturday last a ru nawa y rushed up Main-street in that town and ran into h the New Canaan stage, in which therewrersertwotes, and Mrs. ladies, a Mrs. Raymond, with an infant in h Huested, wife of the Rev. Mr. Hues ted, e of the Methodist Church, with her three chi ldren and another lad. The collision started the stage horse s all its precious freight of frightenedat a furious speed with women and childr e n. Mrs. Raymond ju m p ed out with her child in her arms , but was struck on her back and head, and was very seriously, if not fatally injured. The child was unhurt. But Mrs. Huested, thoegh a small, frail woman, had the courage and presence of mind needed in such an emergency. She did not jump, but with great difficulty kept the children from leaping or falling out, and finally made them lie down at the bottom of the stage. She then climbed forward, seized the reins, which were :tied in front, and succeeded in so far controlling the fright. ened steeds as to avoid collisions or overturns until they reached New-bridge, a distance of a mile and a-half, when she brought them to a stand. Her coolness, probably, alone saved all inside from severe injury, ii not death. Scores of terrified citizens—some of them probably fathers and friends—pursued the stage, but could do nothing to assist its inmates. There probably had not been so many blanched cheeks in Norwalk since the terrible railroad disaster as when these horses were seen tearing at such a furious speed with a stage filled with women and little children.", LITERATURE. The Story of My Life. By Lord William Lennox, Author of " Compton Audley," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. These volumes present a remarkable variety to the reader, many different scenes of society being brought before the notice, and the several person., ages introduced in them affording a .striking con trast to those novels, which follow exclusively the fortunes of the hero or heroine, briefly referring to all others. The adventures of the hero, Arthur Pembroke, are chronicled, and he certainly ran a career worthy of notice, for it was plentifully diver sified in incident, and his wandering course is illus trative of the fate of others also strangely circum stanced. At the commencement of his record he relates how he was sent to a school, in no ways cele brated for wise rule or elevated doctrines, where his mania for practical jokes caused such commotion that to avert the consequences he ran away. He was to have gone to sea, but his evil fate went before him, and such tales of his exploits reached the ears of the officials that his services were dispensed with. He subsequently entered the army, where his va rious doings form an agreeable subject for study ; but he meanwhile gives, par parenthese, the SUM-, • mary of the life and deeds of some whom he en . - counters in the highway of existence. Of these none is more amusing than Major Skittowe. The zeal and assiduity which this worthy displays to further his purposes and execute his devices might shame many a better man intent on a higher object. His best trick was the adroitness with which he con trived to Jester). himself on a friend as the dinner hour approached, or the careless, easy manner in which he sometimes dropped in as the meal was being served. He had a habit of always walking forward while the accounts were being called for at any establishment. Mingled with some public affairs, such as races, horsedealing, &c., in the description of which some useful hints may be gathered, there is a private story of no mean interest. MaryWinterburn was a superior character, and though pleasing and amiable, she was not of the doll-like description of beauty ; she would not sit still and bear her wrongs meekly ; she possessed a spirit, and when roused to indignation it was not an easy task to control her. This Arthur Pembroke found out too late ; they had been privately married, and he had been come pelled to join his regiment, leaving her in town. ft would have been more prudent to have waited for years to bring discretion to both ; but, instead of doing such a wise thing, they married in baste, and had plenty of time to repent ; for Mary, alarmed at some reports she heard went abroad, and her husband, offended at her anger, remained at home alone for several years, to ruminate on the ill-luck that attended him wherever his steps strayed. He had forgotten to be more cautious in his conduct than before his marriage, and also had been unwise enough not to mention his plans to his wife. Whatever has been concealed from us always acquires a double force when discovered at last, and hence the catastrophe occurred. It is not pleasant to the reader to dwell on the passage of Arthur Pembroke's narrative, in which he makes mentimr of his acquaintance with Ada Oastleton ; it was inconsistent with honour and right feeling to go on as he did, when he knew that he had been introduced to her family under false pretences. Some of the events mentioned are very graphically described, and one of the most exciting is the struggle made by Pembroke and some of his friends to reach town in order to stop the agents from de livering the money for a cheque that bad been ob tained under false pretences. Any readers desirous of leaving the heavy folio and the dry tome for a peep into a lighter and livelier publication, cannot do better than possess themselves of the " Story of My Life," in which a series of " Quips, and cranks, and wanton wiles" is displayed before them in endless variety. Added t ) this, as the story dates some years back, it may not be uninteresting to take notice of the then celebrities of the day and hour, and to compare • some of the past arrangements of fashion and frolio with those of the present. RIFLED CANNON. The difference between the action of the Ameri can and English governments in similar circum stinces is strikingly evinced in their dealings with military matters. Both nations are naturally in clined rather to agriculture, commerce, and manu factures, than to war, and in America especially the army and navy are generally avoided by native Americans. Even th© splendid vessels recently sent to our shores, as much, perhaps, for the purpose of dis play as from any particular necessity, and in which, if anywhere, American citizens would be likely to lie foun2l, contain a very large proportion of fo- reigners. The American army is stated to be still more de pendent on extraneous aio. The abundance of emp'oyment suited to every temperament is, it appears, a sufficient reason for the avoidance of professions in which the rewards can never equal the risks, even in a country which contains a large proportion of men more familiar with the use of arms than other civilised com munity._ Yet: in face of these difficulties, or possibly in consequence of them, the American navy is con tinually advancing, the " Constitution" is super saltid by the "Niagara," heavy guns are t a k en ou t of these ve sse l s , t o be replaced by others of still more unwieldy strength, and this gots on whoever occupies the White House, and whether the ad ministration is composed of whigs or democrats, while we in England are content to follow humbly behind, not daring to initiate, too happy to exhibit an abject and monkey-like imita tion of others. For example, the steam-engine, as applied to navigation, is emphatically the work of English brain and science, but no argument or consideration could induce the English Admiralty to apply it to the purposes of the navy until Louis Philippe brought the Gorner to Portsmouth. Again, rifled muskets were offered to the Ordnance-office, as they have since admitted, twenty years ago, but only to be spurned ; and no notice was taken of ihem until long after the French had adopted them in their army, and their introduction had been strenuously advocated by the British press. Yet their use we are indebted for the brilliant victory of the Alma, "Alma e felice," and to them we owe the fact that the surprise of Inkermann was not followed by a fatal issue, and the glorious struggle of the " soldier's battle" did not end in annihila tion and defeat. The order that no soldier shall be sent tolndia unless armed with and practised in the use of the Enfield rifle is, perhaps, due to the circumstance that the Commander-in-Chief is one of the survivors of Inkermann—if so, that one i resolution will go far to redeem the losses of that dreadful day, and possibly in time lead to the con clusion that it might be well to have a practical man at the head of some other departments of the state. The odds against the British soldier in India are in the eyes of reflecting persons sufficiently great. Some of these disadvantages are the dis tance from home, the climate, the possession of for tified cities by a mutinous army, trained and in structed in our own methods of fighting, supplied with cannon and ammunition in more than Eastern profusion, and supported by the latent if not open sympathy of 100 millions of their countrymen. But these odds are increased when men in power can be found to assert, in the face of the country, and act on the assertion, that reinforcements sent in sailing vessels will make the voyage to India as quick, or quicker, than steamvessels ; when, but for their opposition, both field and horse artillery would now have cannon as superior in range and power to those in use at present as the Enfield rifle is to the old musket. Take one in ' stance only : the so-called siege of Delhi makes no progress because, according to the artillery officer in command, the guns are useless at 1,500 yards— the range of a rifle gun would be 4,000. If noble lords and right hon. gentlemen were to go out to battle themselves, they would be entitled so carry what weapons they pleased , b ut when top send others they are morally bound to see that s every erti c o h n a n o c f e t i h s e i g r i v l i e v n e s t . o t T h o o s w e l o fu t h ll e y rs w f i o t r h h t o h l e d pre any weapon, offensive or defensive, is to take part with the enemy, and even on economical grounds is utterly indefensible, for no munition of war is at the present time, or is likely to be in future, so valuable as the life of a British soldier.—From Correspondent. ACCIDENT.—A. melancholy accident took place at the camp of Chalons a few days since. A troop horse in a cart, used for the conveyance of gravel, not having been well broken in to draught work, became restive and ran off. Mlle. Bode, a young shop woman of Chalons, who happened to be near the spot, not having time to get out of the way, was knocked down by the shaft of the cart and mortally injured. Another girl and a young man, who were with her, both threw themselves into a ditch by the roadside and escaped with only a few bruises.
