HAUSBURO'S, CHULCH-LTREET. —James Hendersen, a dull looking person, about fifty years of age, and dressed as a Manchester ftctory man, was charged with having committed the following outrage. An assistant in the shop of Mr. Hansburp, in Church street, stated tint at half past six o'c'ock the previous violins!, he was waning in the shop, when he beard great neise and then a era-h of the window, and then he ran out, where Fe sew the prisoner in hold of a person now present.

Mr. Mansfield, one of Mr. Have] g's journeymen said, the window was not insured. The two wa ches produced were the only articles stolen out of :he windore The nrisor:er wee sent for trial. FATTIFIL AND S , ic.—Joha M Gone, a grocer in Greet Crosshell-street, charged h'; rot, Jahn ',Vl•Gloce, ender the fallowing circumstances:—Hr said at six o'clock the pre- VieLB evening, the prise ner came with a float and attempted to take aw .7 his goods. bat when he prevented him, be attempted to take down his signbrard them the door, but being prevented in that, he made en attack en him, and threatened both witness and his m ether , and called them most horrible names. The complainant said the totieoner was mad, and it not properly restrained he feared he would murder either himse for some one else. The prisoner said he purchased tis father's strck for £2.0 and he went to take it away. He had three stops in Liverpool. and Complainant : Yes, I gale them to on and you drank them all one and your wife lel you, and now you are living with a servant girl. The prisoner was ordered to find two sureties in £25 each to keep the peace. 010•AININO GeODs UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—A well dressed person, named Catherine M'Mahon, was charged with havirg obtained goods urd , r false pretences. The prisoner wee formerly a servant asith a gentleman named Topping, and after she left the service she cot some goods is his name, and she also got tea, sugar, end coffee, from Mr. Cook, grocer, of Myrtle-street, in the".natne of Mrs. Roche, wife of a doctor, residing in Canning -street. These cases being fully proved, the prisoner was sent for trial. Ax EMIGH‘NT CASE.—Messrs. Sahel and Curtis, of Regent-road. were summoned by Captain Stewart, one of the emigration officers, at the suit of a Scotch woman, named Mary Wilson, for refusing to provide her a passage to Mehl x. Mr. Aepinall, (with Mr. Harvey, as attorney) appeared for the defendants. The question at issue, w-e one of principle, as the history of the case will show. It appeared that some time ago, the daughter (Alto lives in America) of Mary Wilson, paid £7 7s. to a house in Halifax, for her mother's passage from Liverpool to that port. See sent the contract ticket to h r mother, and Messrs. Sabel and Cortis, who are the Liverpool agents of the Halifax house, were advised to send her out by one of the steamers, next going out. On receipt of the advice, the defendants wrote to her to Scot! and, saying the a earner was under repair, but that they would send her oat when the veer, resumed her place, and that they would give her, at least ten days notice. This did not satisfy the woman, and she wrote that she must have a ship at once. To this, a reply similar to the above was given, and still, she not being satisfied, came at once to Liverpool, and because she did not get a passage at once, she got out the summons. Mr. Aspinall pro duced the letter written to the w man, and also the contract ticket, which did not specify any giv. n time fo: a passage, n:r by any particular ship, anti although his clients were not at all liah'e to the woman, they would, out offaeour aod kiadaese. cis e her a passa ge i n th e i r tex t snip, nut 1a. , • he -did. %La a es a Stewart, but h.s chews repudiated that there was such a tight. Oa this polls he referred to the 48th section of the Act, and showed that his clients were not liable, and yet they most kindly effered her a passage in their first vessel Captain Stewart c intended that they were liable under the Act, and said they also refuted to pay her deteatior money. Mr. Mansfield, cri looking at the Act and the ticket, add be agreed with Mr. Aseinall. The ticket might hold some Otte responsible in another c• art , but certailly the c tse in that °rue could not held against the defendants, and he was of opinion that the woman ought to avail herself of the liberal offer made her by Messrs. Sabel and C. r' is. He then dismissed the case on its merits, as the woman h td no claim. Mr. Searle, from the office of Messrs. SAO and Cortis, ssid, now that the Bench had decided the case in favour of that firm, they would, out of kindly feeling to the women, givr her a rungs., and also some money, out Of charity. They were always ready to do that, but were not tr be forced into it, when they knew they were not li%ble His Worship said, it was very creditable to the firm to act so handsomely. THE Dana DEEDS.—J. B. Florence, the blackman who stood remaue!ed on a cha-ge of hiving inflicted a serious wound on the arm of a man named Daniel Devlin, was brought up. Mr. Goodere appeared as tis advoeate. f lets of ttiis strange case were fully published in our pap •r of Monday. Several witnesses were examined, but Mr. Goodere elicited, partly, the story told by the prisoner about Tom Kennedy and the C yen 'ish tobacco. Detec tive officer Eaton also proved that he mode enquiry about the tobacco affair, and Tom Kernedy did admit he bou s ht about 460-lbs. of tobacco from the prisoner, and gave him a £2O bill for it, but that fiadine the tobacc) to be no use be threw it in'o the sea, and this was the reason be refused to pay the bill. Mr. Goodere also shewed, by witnesses, that the complainant, along with about 20 ruffians, were sent by Keened, after the prisoner, to "sloe" him, and that they had hire down, and would probably have killed him, had he not drawn his knife to save his life. Kennedy wanted to get the prisoner and the bill out of of the way, so that he would not be troubled about payment. The prisoner was discha ged. LIVERPOOL BAN KRUPIC Y COURT.—YEsTzRoar, BEFoitE HR.

It is rather more then two centuries since, when twenty hackney coaches were first permited to ply for hire in the streets, or ra her at the inns, of London. In the year pre vious to the late alteration in the licsnses; the Government r.erired a revenue of £68,000 from the duty on hackney carriages. This will afford some notion of the increase in the number of these vehicles which has take:in piece since 1625. It is curious to watch the rate of progress in earlier tunes of this class of public vehicles In 1652 an act of Parliament was passed limiting the number of hackney coaches to two hundred; two years le - er the Londoners were allowed to have three hundred coaches, hut by no means snore than six hundred horses to work them. Seven years pass over, and the number of hackney coaches was allowed to be four hundred, and at this number they remained for thiry-three year?, when, in 1694, there were actually permitted to be seven hundred hackney coaches relying for hire in the streets of London. Queen Anne further increased the number to eight hundred in 1715, and graciously permitted two hundred hackney "chairs" in addition to the coaches. Tue two hundred chairs grew into three hundred, and George I. authorised a further audition to their number, bringing them up to four hun dred ; and in 1771 the c caches were increased to one thousand. Teirty-four years ago an innovation, long and e'outly resisted, was wade upon the time honoured hackney coach, with its two sleepy horses and its venerable " jarvey." In Paris a one horse cabriolet had fir some time been known, but all attempts to introduce it into London proved fatal, until Messrs. Bradshaw and notch, the latter a member of Parliament, a barrister and a chairman of Quarter Sessions, obtained a license for eight cabriolets, and they were started at fares one-third lower than those of the old hackney coaches. Down to the year 1832 the number of these "cabs" was restricted to 65, and the coach licenses were increa-ed to 1,200. In 1832 all restrictions on the,number of hackney coaches ceased. An attempt was made in 1800 to introduce into London a larger vehicle than the hackney coach, somewhat resemb ling one of the pri sent omnibuses ; the project, however failed, and it was not until the month fif July, 1829, that the Londoners had an opportunity of suing in Shilliheer's omnibuses, which ran from Greenwich to Charing. croak. The first omnibuses were drawn by three ho-ses abreast, and at length, after great opposi ion, the " busea" became generally adopted. At the present time there are upwards of 800 onanibaes running along various routes in the metropo is, and of this cumber 595 are the property of a single and mostly foreign proprimary, the London G nera Onsnibds Company. Of the value of these vehicles, and the amount of profit which they realise to their owners, some notion may be formed from the fact that 600 omni buses, with horses and harness and good-will, wore pur chased by the company for £400,000, or for very nearly £7OO for each vehicle. A quarter of a century has sufficed to increase the treffic requirements from 100 to more than 800 omnibuses, and a company employs profit ably a capital of one million in we king three-tourths of the vehicles of the metropolis. So many of the omnibuses being lima under one management, considerable facilities are afforded for economy in their working, and for the collection of many useful and interesting economical facts respecting the travelling portion of the metrop din, The 595 omnibuses of the company ran in Lender', in the week ending 31st of October, net less than 222,779 miles, or nearly ten tim s the circumference of the globe, and they carried not less ;han 920,000 passengers, which was equal to two and a half times the population of Liverpool, three times that of Manchester, four times that of Birmingham, five dews that of Lee's, seven times that of Bris'ol, and eleven times the whole population of Hull. Assuming that the remaining one-four .h of the London omnibuses, not belonging to the company, carried as equal proportion, we shall have as the travelling portion of the population of London 1,115,000 persons. The population of London, at the last ce - sus, was 2,362,000, so that a number equal to very nearly one-ha fof the reoplc of London ride one jour-ev in an omnibus in each week. In a far night the whole population of London would be moved in the omnibuses now running in the metropolis. 'lhase vehicles are worked by 6,225 horses, more than the whole of the British cavalry engaged at Waterloo. The average cost of each h. roe is £3O, making a total valne of nearly £200,000. The harness costs, on an average, £l2 for each-h wee, and the oneribu es £l2O each in building. The provender for these troops cf horse is somewhat s art ling in its aggregate, and the quantities required will serve to c - nvey an idea of the exertions nee. asaty to be made for a comnissariat department for the movement of as army in a foreign country. A week's allowance of food for thaerr-es consists of 430,266 pounds of chopped has, clover, and straw, (gnat to 242 loads, and 699,253 pounds of oats, barley and beans, or 2,376 quarters, and 175 loads of straw, are required for the bedding of the horses, Formerly the omnibus , s of London were in the hands of nearly a hundred different propietars, and there were more than that number of establishments where the horses w. ra kept. This company have established immure depots, where the provender is delivered, and prepared for the torses Steam-enoires. of ucAz power cue ae, chaff* and wo k appeances for m'xing the food at a great savior of labour and money. The largest of these depots is in Belt-late. It has been in operation fur the last fifteen months, and las supplied daily rations for 1 840 horses, and there have h: en cut up, mixe 1 , and distributed from this establishment each week, 72 loads of hay, cl ver, an I straw, 713 quarters of-bruised oats, barley, and beans, and 50 loads of straw have been supplied es bedding for the horses. Under the system of regular feeding adopted by the company, the horses have greatly improved in their condition, and the live stock is now mu h mare valuable than when it first came i -to possei.on of the c mpany. E oh horse rues on an average twelve miles per day. The daily cost of. the rations of each horse is rather mere than 2'. l d., or fur the hors: s of each omnibus, ten in number, £1 Is., the other expenses, such as horse-k eepers, v, terin ary service, shoeing, and others, bring up the total expense for the horses of each omnibus to £1 6=. per week. Tha amount of manual labour employed in c mnection with these omnibuses is very large. The number of men con stantly employed as drivers, conductors, and horse-keepers, is not less than 2,300, of whom the drivers receive from five no six slil'ings, ttle conductors 43., and the hors--k ep ees, 3'. per day. The " weer an:l tear" of each minibus ameunts to 17a. 6d. /yr week, and for the harness 6s. per weak. The 595 omnibuses run over 66 diffeteet routes, and far facilitating the traffic, "correspond, nee offic a" are established at Whitechep 1. Cheapside, BishopgAta Regent oifctia, Netting ilia Gate, Edgware-recd,irompton, Highbury, and Holloway. By means f this arrangement ' 1 a person may travel from Kr burn to Chelsea for sixpence, from Pawl to Blsck Nall, or Hammersmith to Holloway, the distance in each care being eleven miles, for sixpence, and 35,000 persons avail themselves each week of these "correspondence" offices. The average weekly receipts from the whole of the omnibuses is £11,500, but the sate of the weather materi rJly effects the receipts—thus a very wet dey reduces the amount received by from three to four hundred pons !s aer clay. Oa the 22ed of October, owing to the continuous rain, the receipts fell short of the usual amount by £3BO. These omnibuses contribute lamely to the general revenue of the country ; the 0. nrernment duty and licenses for the last year were £33 .000, while a sum of £lB,OOO was paid for tolls on the d.ffrent roads run over by the omnibuses. SOTS' CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TASTE, at LEWIS and COMPANY'S, Ranelagh-street. AN ATLAS GRATIS WITH TUB "DISPATCH."—On and after Sunday, October 4th, 1857, each c - my of the Dispatch will be accompanied with a map, a chart, or the plan of of a principal town, so as to furnish to each subscriber, gratis,. the most comprehensive, complete and generally useful Atlas hitherto published in Great Britain. The size of the engravings will be that of one page of the newspaper, six maps and twa plans, in each year, will be of doable the size-17 inches by 25. The ordinary maps will be correctly tinted, the charts will be properly relieved in bin', and the plans will be printed in a rich colour. The double maps will be the object of great attention in the desire to make them beautiful specimens of map colouring. It is hoped, in the course of no unreasonably protracted time, that the Dispatch Atlas will contain more names and positions of places than any other English publication of the kin.). The counties will be given se parately, and where they are large and populous, as in the case of Lancashire, each division of the count wil crioupy a page; spin, the States of Italy will be the subject of six distinct maps. The names of the draughtsmen and engravers will be the best guarantee for perfect accuracy. The maps will be as full as clearn..ss and reference will allow. Corrections and discoveries will be given from the best authorities. The engravings will be iu the highest style of art, many thousands of pounds being devoted to their cost, and they will be taken from original drawings expressly prepared for the series. Directors of mechanics' institutes, the conductors of all educational establishments, the proprietors of hotels, reading-rooms, and coffee-houses, will, iu posze;sing the Dispatch Atlas be supplied with a daily want. The money value of the completed work may be best ascertained by inquiring the selling price of any large and trustworthy collection of maps. The Dispatch Atlas will he forwarded with the numbers of the paper at the usual price, sd. per con, or 6d. stamped. On the ii:st issue some hints 'sill be given for preserving, indexing, and binding the Atlas o:ders received by every news-agent and bookseller in the king dom, and at the Dispatch office, 139, Fleet•street. The Friday evening edition may be received in the most distant part of the kingdom on Saturday morning. Exclusively for CLOTHING. BOYS frcm Six to Twenty Years LEWIS:& COMPANY, Raselagh-street. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHING BY STEAM. The Times sketches a new plan for telegraphing by steam, invented by Mr. Boggs, a well known electrician, and which, if carried out, is likely to effect a postal revolu tion. Electric telegraphs of all kinds are either worked by voltaic or magnetic electricity, the current of which along the wire is alternately transmitted and broken ac cording as the circuit is completed or interrupted by means of a handle, which is worked by a clerk. This alternate transmission and release of the voltaic or magnetic cur rent deflects the needle at the other end of the wire, either to the right or left, or regis'ers the message by electro magnetism, according to the nature of the instrument employed. As a matter of course, while a message is being thus slowly transmitted as it were by hand, the whole length of the wire is entirely occupied, while, what ever the emergency, nothing can be done towards for warding the messages which are to follow until the wire is entirely unoccupied and reported free. Mr. Bogg's in vention proposes to work the electric telegraph by steam, and so get over the great obstacle which now exists against its more general use—namely, its slowness. It may seem paradoxical to speak of the slowness of the electric telegraph as being the only bar to its more gener, 1 adoption, but in truth such is the literal fact, for the time occupied, and therefore expense incureed, in wing the telegraph wire, makes a message rather the resort of commercial or domestic emergency than of a thing of daily use, almost rivalling the post as a means of daily communication. The invention, then, which is to supercede these tedious processes, and work the tele graph by steam instead of by hand, is generally as fol . lows :—A series of gutta perche bands, about Six inches wide. and a quarter of an inch thick, are coiled on wheels on drums arranged for the purpose. These bands are Erud. ded down both sides with a single row of holes at short intervals apart. When a message is to be sent, the clerks wind off these bands, inserting in the holes small brass pins, which, according is their combinations in two and threes (with blank holes between), represent certain words or letters. In this manner the message is, as it were, " set up" in the bands with great rapidity, and if the number of bands employed is sufficiently large—say as numerous as the compositors employed in a large printing-office— messages fluel in length to fine or six cAumns of this jour ral could be set up and ready for transmission in the course of a single hour. Of course this operation in no respect interferes with the telegraph wire itself, which continues free f - ir use until the bands of messages are actually being deTatehed. The gusto parcha bands, when full, are re moved to the ins rument room, a most simple appliance preventing any derangement or falling out of the pins while being moved about. In the inetrumeut room the bands are connected with ordinary steam ma hinery, by which thee are drawn in regelar order with the utmost rapidity between the charged poles of an electrical machine in such a manner that during the moment of each pin's passing, it forms electrical csmmunicatien betw en the instrument and the telegraph tied a signal is transmitted to the other end of the wire, where the spark perforates a paper and records the message. The only limit to the rapidity of the oneration is the rate at which the bands car , be drawn, since the electrical contact of each pin, even for the 200th part of a second, is more than sufficient to transmit a word or signal from London and register it in America. Of course, as a message is records i, we will say in Americo with the same rapidity as that in which it is transmitted in London, a number of reading clerks will be requisite in order to translate it, by dividing it into small port one, with almost as much facility as it has ben sent. By this now patent, worked with an efficient stall, it would be perfec ly easy for one wire to transact all the businees between England and America. With proper arrange ments, an hour would suffice to transmit intelligence equal in number of worls to twelve columns of the Times. It is no exaggeration_, therefore, to siy that the most impor tant news in each country, with a price list ex'eneive enough to include every staple of tra le, might be ex changed in time for the commencement of business in the capitals of the Old and New World.

Taa FALL OF DeLmt.--75e took occasion last week to inForm our read3rs that oar loss in the capture of Delhi amounted in the agertg tte to the formidable number of 2,000, although the Government despatches had given it at only 600.

BOYS' CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TASTE AT LEWIS and COMPANY'S. Ruelash street. BEPC7IOII J. Ir SLAM, NM Ilia goner delivered judgment in the following cases : PEACHY V. Minn.—This was a case in which the plaintiff, a pianoforte maker, resident in London, songht to recover £"2, the value of a r fano sold to the defendant, a joiner and licensed victualler residing at Bootle. The C4BO was tried on the 29. h of last month. Iu November, 1855 the defendant purchased a piano from Charles Danvers Hackett for £3B, which he paid to him. It subsequently appeared that Hackett bad only obtained the piano on Lire from the plaintiff. He had had two other instruments from the plaintiff, which he had sold, but had partly accounted for. The one now in question he had not accounted for at all. The plaintiff, on discovering where the piano was, claimed i'', and being refused, the action was brought. His Honor remarked that there could be no doubt. that Hackett was guilty of very gross misrepresentation, and it was very hard that Rule should sutler for i', but his remedy was against Hackett. Judgment must be for the plaintiff, but taking into consideration all the circumstances of the case, he did not think the plaintiff was entitled to recover the full amount. His ❑oner therefore gave judgment for £26. BENNETT v. LINOIRD.—Ta this case the plaintiff, a wine and spirit merchant, ol'Llverp: oh claimed .435 from the defendant, a warehouse keeper. also of Liverpool, The case was heard on the 30th of last month. Some time ago the defendant undertook to take a puncheon of rum out of bond for the plaintiff, which he placed in the cellar of a warehouse in Sperling, street. After it had lain there for some time, a fire broke out, which destroyed the greater portion of the premises except the cellar. The cask was taken out after the fire had been extinguished, but it was found that three hoops had burst, and nearly the whole of the rum had leaked out. It was contended, on the part of the plaintiff, that the defendant, as his agent, was bound to have had the cask carefully examined, and, if necessary, coopered, charging tine cost again-t the owner. His ❑onour held that no case of negligence had been male out to render the defendant liable for the loss of the rum, and, therefore, gave judgment for the defendant. BUSINES3 or THII •Couar.—The following arrange ment was made of the business of this court, the opening, court in November :—Tuesday (yes terday), judgment summonses, insolvenciee, &c• Wednesday (this day), 70 cases at half.past ten o'clock, and 52 at twelve; Thursday. 70 cases at half-past ten, and 52 at twelve ; Friday, 300 caves at half•past ten ; Tuesday, the 17th init., 71 cases at half-past ten, and 49 at twelve ; the 18th, 75 cases at half-past ten, and 49 at twelve; Thursday, the 19 0, 70 cases at half past ten, and 5:3 at twelve ; Friday, the 20th, adjourned cases, at.d 28 other cases.

In re THOMAS Fsutaa, DRAPEEL—The adjourned I ist examination in this case took place on Manday, in Mr. Commissioner airrow's Court. The bankrupt was re examined by Mr. Shipman. He stated, that since his last examination he had amended his balance-sheet. In that amended sheet the amount of secured creditors was in creased by the sum of £9Bl 7s 10d. ; the alteration was for additional discounts and bontteea charged. by Mr. Jos. Entwisle on the renewal of bills. Ha filed his amended balartee.sheet a statement of necounta with Nr r. m ils , hi s , m u ss y /e t net the balance now to to air. Entwisle was £1 ; 572 184 2d. In this account he debited Mr. Entwisle with £6l 153 61 as due for goods still open. Thai, as far as he knew, had never been taken into account as against the amount charged for renewing bills, and he was certain it had never been paid him in cash Tue sum of £767 19e 101., credi ed to Mr. En twisle as di;count and renewals, was for discount and renewals of which he had not kept any particulars, and he had not been able to obtain a detailed account from Mr, Entwisle The total amount charged by Mr. Entwisle for discount and renewals of bills was £1,174 Os 10.1. He still persisted in stating that he de livered te Mr. Entwisle rods to the amount of £756 19. 81d, in spite of Mr. F.etwisle's statement that it was not for more than half the amount. Mr. Entwisle, in his exami nation, stated that witness had received from him £l,Oll cash, whereas witness, in his amended balance-sheet, stated that he had received £728 18e He still persisted that the latter amount was substantially correct. lie could not give the court any further information with reference to his transactions with Entwisle Samuel Hart, the accotan'unt employed by the creditors, was then examined He said ha had recently gone through the stock in the hands of Mr. Entwisle (held by him for Mr. Acton, auctioneer) which belong to the bankrupt's estate . This was on the 30th of October. The value of the stock he so went through was £364 Os 9d at the prices put to the goods in Mr. Freer's list, but the gocds would not sell for that amount. He did not find at Mr. Acton's all the g-o3s named in Mr Frear's list. There was about half the quantity. He found a few goods, which were not in the list, which amounts 1 to about £27. Mr. Heywood then applied on behalf of the bankrupt, that ho shou'd be allowed to pass. Mr. Shipman, on behalf of the assignees, called the attention of his Honour to some of the peculiarities of the case. In the flat balance sheet the principal creditors secured were stated to be for £641 10s. 4d., but in the amen,ded slitet the sum was £1,622 18s. 2d, or a d fference of L9Bl 7s. 104 This arose, they were told, from a liability to Joseph Entwisle for discounting and renewal of bills. Of course, when a bankrupt debited himself on one side he must credit him self on the other, and so in this case the other sde was balanced by an alteration in the trade expenses from £1 ; 509 13-. 9d. to £2,500 3 3 7d. A ga i n , t h e b ankrupt stated that he had only received £720 in cash of Mr. Entwisle, and it was positively stated by Mr. Entwisle that the amount was £l,Oll. The bankrupt's accounts w-re in a chaotic state, a - id nothing could be made of them. Then, as to the question of goods. the bankrupt stated that he had handed over to Mr. Entwisle goods to the amount of £756 ; and on the other hand, it was proved by the evidence of Mr. Hunt. that the goods in the possession of Mr. Acton were not worth more than £364. Mr. Hey wood contended that if a person was to be allowed to come before that court and dispute a statement made by a bankrupt without adducing proofs, no bankrupt would be safe. Mr. Entwisle had not afforded them the opportunity which he might have done of chocking over the account he produced, so that it was impossible to say whether Mr. Entwisle had spoken the truth or not. The sums of money advanced to bankrupt were by cheques upon the banker, and they were made payable in cypher, or to the account of a number, instead of a name, so that there were no means of tracing the matter. Mr. Shipman said he would not press his honour to adjourn the examina tion sine die, but would be willing to allow the bankrupt to pass, reserving, of course, his observations upon the points referred to until a future day. His Honour said Mr. Shipman had very properly called his attention to the facts of the case, and had clearly detailed them to him. It was clear the accounts were in a very unsatis factory state. It appeared clear that Entwisle had in one instance received 100 per cent per annum discount, and in another case 125 per cent. ; one could not, therefore, be surprised that a person carrying on business in such a reckless manner as the bankrupt had done should be totally incapable of rendering anything like a reasonable account of his transactions. Confusion in accounts in such cases were sometimes thought necessary for the protection of persons committing frauds, because it was only when accounts could be accurately analysed that frauds could be detected. The solicitor to the assignees had taken great pains to investigate the matter, in the vain expectation of finding some money for the creditors. He slid not press for an adjournment sine die, if he had so pressed he should have granted the application; but, as no such application was pressed, he should allow the bankrupt to pass his ex amination, but should expect the observations he had heard upon the case to be placed before him again upon a future occasion.

On Friday evening the particulars of a diabolical atempt at double murder and suicide of the assassin, were received in the metropolis. , the facts of which are a. follows :—A man named Henry Feather_ $ One had Le n for the last five years and a half in the employ of Mr Passmoro, a farmer at E tat Down, near Barnstaple, North Devon, as farm servant, and was always conselered a mild, inoffensive man. A short time back, ho . ever, from some uueeplain deem, Festherstone imbbed a no'ion that one of the female servants had entertained opinions and maaiessted feelings of an unkind character towards him. So impre red was he with this idea that, without any notice whatever, he sought en interview with his employer, 'intimate 1 that he intended b quit his service, and demanded payment of the wages then doe to him. Mr. Paesmore enquired the reason of his determ.na ioa, to wh ea he h.d eo strangeiy arrived and Featherstone re e lied teat the females hid treat d him badly, and he woul I no longer as.ociate with them. Mr. Passmore, after some remoestrance, paid him £32 23, and Feather stone left the premises. Suesequengy, whi'e tee hons:keeeer and another female were sitt'ng qn'ely at work in the kitchen, they we e fearful y alarmed at hearing t .e report of firearms from the outside of the house, followed by the breaking of the windows of the room in wh ch they ware seated, and simultaneously a number of shots flew shoat them in all d rectioas. They screamed aloud for assistance, when Mr. Paramore aid some friends whom he was entertaning, and who had heard the report, rushed out with lights into the garden . They made a minute search, but, were unah:e to discover any one. They found, however, a j .cket, which was at ones recognised as having belonged t 3 Featherstone, end in the pockets of which were some loose shot:, gunpowder, aid a bag of percussion caps. Suspicion immediately !deed itself upon Featherstone, who was known to entertain a feeling of hatred towards the two females, and a most a live march was ialleved without delay; nothing, however, was hesr.i of him. On the following day a further and more rigal se arch was merle in the garden, wren a large horse pistol was found outside the window, apparently dropped just where fired. The police were made aCq7l4lll:ed with the circamstances, and means were takes to apprehend Featherstone. Their ends were ineffectual, bat, as Mr. Tamlyn, a gentleman reAding in the neigh bourhood, was amusing himself in Knowles Wood, he discovered the body of a man suspended by a piece of new rope from a branch of an oak tree. He could tut see his face as a " comforter," had been drawn, cap-like, over it. He gave an alarm, (having first ascertained that the man was dead) and the deceased was cut down. The " comforter " bein g removed, the deceased was identified as Featherstone. A most nnusnol course was adopte i before the removal of the bcdy, it bong taken to a private house and deposited in the room where a man lived wit's his wife and family. At the inquest which was forthwith held bebre the district coroner, the above facts were deposed to; and, in addition, , t was proved that the deceased purchased the pistol and ammo Aden on the day before the attempt at murder was made, from Mr. Frayne, of Barnstaple, and amongst ha effects six £5 notes were discovered. Alt the witnesses deposed that when deceased was la t seal nothing unusual was noticed in his demeanour, and the corner, on leaving the case to the jn-y, remarked that all lea had heard of the facts led him to believe Out the deeeesed was in his Hest state of mind when he committed the d ed. The jury then ratir.A, -• the following verdict —" Teat the deceased died by his own lamed, he not being at the time in h's right senses, mini, memory, and under standing."

REFORM IN A CottNza.—There is a new Reform Bill. It was passed, not by the Houses of P.rliament, but on Fri day night, at the Goildtal Coffee house. The clauses, probably, would be popular, but what on earth is the use of these dark confo'ences ? Is organisati , m in future to be a mys'ery, and thf! Reformer a Young Freemason ? We do beg the earnest liberals not to bring suspicion upon themselves by re'reating into corners and conning over a political pro , peetw. What weight is carried by a private and confidential de'therati, n (which practically is never confidential or private), when the real thing to be done is to pr,duce a great pepu'ar m , vement ? The nation is not a puppet to b 3 puled by wires manipulated in Wood street or Gresham-street. There are two cours-s prac ticable, either of which we c mid understand—a general public demonstration, after which the feeli gs and opinions of the country in favour of an amended Par liamentary representation might gravitate to a Central League; or an unostentatious infoTm 31 consultation, carried on among all the members of the L beral party, and in no way biassed by personal jealousies or sympathies.
