Mr. Bluck was for the prosecution and stated the case as follows. It is (he said) rather carious to find-a man charging his wife with robbing him, but I think I shall be able to prove the case. One of the arti cles which she is charged with stealing from► her husband was a watch, and I will be ab'e to show that it was not the property of the cc.mpiainant, but had been left with him by a lodger to take care of, and the stole it out of a 13. ix, along with other property. The parties have lived very -unhappily together - for some time, but on the first of January next, when the Nev Divorce Bill cones into operation, the complainant would apply under its pro for safety Some of the clothes belonged to lodgers of the visions for a separation from her, as she was a wretched woman, He then called the complainant who said the prisoner broke two boxes in his house, and took 5 pair of trowsers, 2 vests, 17 shirts, and a watch .belonging to a man who had gone to Bombay, who had left it with him house. He had given her plenty of money weekly to keep her, and prevent her coming to annoy and rob him, but she used to sp3nd the money in drink, and then would come and smash his windows, and take whatever property she could lay her hands on. She went to the West Derby Workhouse 0/10 time although she had no occasion to do so. The prisoner alleged that she was the injured person. and said her husband turned out and took another woman in her place, and this caused all the dis . urbance. The huibaod denied this. The prisoner was sent to jail for 2 months, in default of finding bail. P. ICANS Robert Roberts, Jackson-street, Park.

He .th and Hornby, by Inspector O'Brien, for knowingly permitting prostitutes to meet and remain in the same room. Mr. Aspinall, instructed by Mr. Walters, of the Town-hall, appeared to conduct the prosecution. Mr. Smith was not reoresented by any legal gentleman. Mr. Aspinall briefly opened the case by reading the clause in the Act of Parliament under which the informs • Lien was granted, which eau - e we published to extenso on Saturday last, when similar cases wore heard and adjudicated upon. He called Inspector O'Brien, who sated: On the 17th instant, I visited the Argyle Roams kgot by the defendant. I there found about ten prostitutes, and a many men. I told the defendant the character of the women, and his reply was, "I have no doubt about it. but as they were quiet. he did not think that he was doing any harm." I told him I should inform against him if he pe-mi tel them to remain. That was at about a quarter put eleven o'clock at night, and in an hour after I visited the room again, and found the same parties present. There are refreshmeAs sold in the room, such as cakes, fruit, and British wines. The defendant : O'Brien, I have been Thera for the last six years, and during that time I inve been known to you, and I ask you have you, during that time, when y.,u have visited the rooms, ever seen anything wrLzg or im proper ? Inspector: No; they have always been very quiet. The Defendam : I do not allow improper conduc! - . When the Lime-street " as they were eared, were shut up, the next evening 61 of the giLli came to my place, but I would not h.ve them. Mr llesth : You never saw an;th?nri improper, or yet an crstrderl? c'udact in , he rooms? Inspector : No. The Defendant : The room is opened at a quarter before eight and closed a a quarter to twelve, when all is quiet, as I will not allow any imprcper characters there Police constable 388, fully corroborated the above statement made by the Inspseor. Mr. Heath then said that he had previously heard a similar case, aad then being in some little donb about the matter, he had consulted with Mr Mansfield, and afcor comparing the preamble of the act with the c'ause, and which he thought should be read in c)nviction, and as there had b.7en then no disorderly conduct, he had dis missed the case. He still entertained the same opinion, and as there Lad been no misconduct in '.his case in the room, according to the evidence of the Inspector, he thought the often.ca was Lot proved, and dismissed the case Mr. Aspinall gzve no:ice appealing to the Court of Queen's Bench against the decision. Mc. IleLltni was exceelngly glad that such a s'ep could be taken, as it would raise a point of law, which would at once be decided, and at present there was a difference of opinion among t the magistrates. The parties then left the court. BOYS' CLOTHING MADE \MEI GREAT TASTE, at . I.E WIS;11 d COMPANY'S, Randagh-streer.

He caused the prisoner to be apprehended, and, seized all rhos materials. The prisoner admitted to him that some of the goods bad come from Barnsley. and he could only account for one lot out of the whole quantity. In defence, the pri soner produced an invoice for 115 lbs. of mixed yarns, and 4 lbs. of other yarns, which, he said, accounted for some portion of the goods seized, but as the quantity did not form a tithe of the goods, and as the prisoner conk not account for his possession of the remainder, the Bench convicted him in the penalty of £2O In default of pay ment, he was committed for one month to hard labour.

MAN'S ESTIMA.TE OF THE VALUE OF HIS OWN LIFE.— ( - )n Thursday, the I2th inst., a person connected, we are informed. with the commercial world, in or near Norwich, happened by some means to fall into Lowestoft harbour, at the north of the inner old pier. Two men succeeded in ia-ev rieating him from his perilous position, minus his cap, which was afterwards obtained by a boat-hook. The rescuers took him to an inn, close by, where his clothes were dried, and a little brandy taken, and subsequently accompanied by them, he went to a house in High -strut where he took from his pocket a quantity of cash in notes, gold, and silver, amounting, as he hiin ;elf stated, to £2OO. Ile then, as our• correspondent was informed, gave to each of the young me❑ cne shilling. On their remarking that it was a very small zual the saved one observed :—" I will give you a certi - ficate, which if you take to the Humane Society, they wilt give you Ll a-piece." The following is a copy of the document November 12, 1857. This is to certify that Win. litrab e and John Gilder have saved me from a watery grave, on the above date, in the Lowestoft harbour. (Signed) JAMES MACDONOLEY." Our correspondent was infurmed that his name is Macdonald. This is about the coolest p opositiou we ever heard—a man , with £2OO in his peke` valuing his life at 2s. to himself, but thinking it worth £2 to the Humane Society:l—Norfolk Chronicle ALLEGED FuiSONiNG AND FORGERY BY A MAGISTRATE AND SURGE a , r.—Mueh excitement WAS created in Preston on Thursday by a report seriously affecticg the character of a borough and county magistrate, a member of the Towo-council, and a Deputy Lieutenant of Lancashire, whose name ai yet has not bsen publicly stated. About two months ago a Mr. Edward Turner, a master reed maker, died at his residence, near St. Paul's Church, Preston, and his remainslwere interred at the Reestoa Cemetery. During his illness he was attended by the person implicated in the &saw, in his professional capa city ; but in eonsevenee of a will being found conveying to the medical gentleman his personal and cottage pro perty to a considerable amoun', icquiry was made by the nearest representatives &f the deceased, who assert that the will is a f rgery ; and on Wednesday the coroner, Mr. Myres, was applied to, to hsve Tamer's b )dy exhumed. This application was granted, and yesterday the body was disintered in the presence of the droner, and Messrs. Wilkinson and Burnford, surgeons of Chorley-street, on behalf of deceased's friends, and Dr. Stewart and Mr. Gilbertson, surgeons, on behalf of the accused, for whom also Mr. Blackhurst, attorney, appeared. The contents of the stomach and intestines were taken from the corpse,, and put into sealed jars for examination by the medical men. The jury sat at the Cemetery Hotel, and after hear ing evidence in identification of the body, the inqury was adjourned to Thursday next. The deceased held a high position in the town, and a few years ago he was , mayor c f Preston. A WITTY Aucrtoxima. —A piing who hal made " going, going, gone,'' his profession —a great favourite among the knights of the bu'kin, and all good fellows, besides being a chosen favourite among the ladies—was once mounted hammer in hand, selling a piece of furni ture. He was well conversant wi h all the best dramatic productions of the day, and among the rest " the Hunch back," th ri the rage of Boston, where ha joke occurred. Fanny KernAe WE , at that time delighting the town with Julia, and everybody was well acquainted wi , h the I celebatel line 4— "C iflhrd ! wh: don't you speak to me ? 0, Clifford, is it you," &c. which are rauke ! among the favourite points( of the play. " Going going—last ea 1, call—fifty-t TO—any more ? ---fifty-three—thank you, sir—fifcy-three dollars -- last call—cico —ttvict!—lny more ? ?—Who is it ? There was a pause, and nobody answered. " Who is it ? who bids fifry-three ? ' " Clifford," cried a voice near the door ; " 0, Clifford, is is you," exclaimed the auctioneer, dropping his haturne , , and clasping his hands a la Fanny Kemble. Toe joke sva; irre7istiblle ; everybody recognised. it ; and, catching the spirit of the thing. tin audi , n.'e followed up an ecstaey cf laughter with three rounds of applause, while the auctioneer drew out an handkerchief in burlesue imitation of Fanny " Clifford, did you say, sir ? Clifford," said the auctioneer, when the merrimeat had subsided, "it it cash, sir?" Clifford, the purch user, it seems, was a bashful person, unacquainted wi.h theatrical things, and had been somewhat alarmed at the .unaccountable good humour of the vowd, so that he was afraid to open his lips again, lest he should excite another burst of fun. "Is it cash, sir '?" again inquired the auctioneer. Al eyes were turned upon Clifford, who looked very mush as if his methee might be w xious about him. The w.rey auctioneer a)uld rather lo.e his custemer then his j ..ka and exe!aimed, still imitating the fiery-eyed Fanny— ' Clifford, why don't yon speak to me ?" The assembly now fairly roared with laughter ; and, amid an uproarious burst of app:ause, Clifford made a preci pitate rush for the door and escaped. THC MAN W.T.H THE IRON MASK AND NAPOLEON.— Among the many fables which cluster around the " Iron Ma , k " there is one which I cannot resist giving you It one only dare..i, one would certainly believe it ; but pleasant a; it is to fly in the f ace o f v history, even I am obliged to say, " Held, enough !" In the early days of that dreary captivity—those days in which the prisoner (whether from fancy or memory) was thus clesceib.al—' l as of handsome face, middle height, brown skin, clear complexion, and beautiful voice"—there was a lovely young lady in the fortress of St. Marguerite ; she was the daughter of one of the officials, and her name was Julia de Bonpart. The mysterious prisoner fell in love with this bright sun b eam , whom he had seen feem his window ; and what feminine heart could resist a persecuted, royal, and masked prisoner ? The father gave his consent— they were married at an altar erected in the dungeon, and the devoted wife cheered the gloom of the weary lifetime Two little infant sons could not, hoe ever, be retained near the unfaatmate parent?, and wem sent secretly to Corsica, under their paternal name of Bonparte. From them sprang the Buorapartea who are therefore Bourbons. In the course of a conversation at St Helena, it was mentioned to Napoleon by a gentleman present that a person had come to him to tell the above story, and to demonstrate from thence that Napoleon was a lineal descendant of the Iron Mask, and thus the legitimate heir of Louis XIIr. The gentleman had laughed at the whole story, which made the narrator very angry; he main tained that the marriage could easily be verified by the registers of a parish of Marseilles which he named. The Emperor said that he had hearl the same story ; and that such was the love of the marvellous, that it would have been easy to have substantiated something of the kind for the credulous multitule.—Mips Brewster's Letters from Cameo. PAINFUL CASE OF SEDUCTION AND DEATH. On Tattersday Mr. Carter opened an itquest at Mr. Price's, the Wellington Arms, opposite the South Western Railway Station, London, respecting the circumstances attending the death of DI ary Ann 1331 , 7CaM, aged 19 years, who had been seduced and who died in a house in the neighbourhood of the railway station, after leaving a house in which she acted as housemaid at the West End, unknown to her father. The jury having been duly sworn, and a fore man chnsen, the learned Coroner said that he had felt it his duty to call the present jury together, in consequence of this female, whose death they had met to inquire into, having come to this neighbourhood, that whilst there she had complained of some affection ; that Dr. Menzies had seen her, but did not feel justified in certifying. inasmuch as he could not tell the cause of her death. There, was, therefore, no altoroatise but to bold the present inquiry. 1 Thomas Boweam, who was much affected during his evidence, said that the deceased was his daughter. On Sunday week he last saw her alive in the company of another young female. He was sent for to see the deceased at the house where she died by a pollee officer. He was told by him that she was dead. He went the next .414, and upon entering the house found that what he had been told was correct. He had received no letter from her to account for her death. He sent on the Saturday previous to the house she was in service at, and ascertained that she had left her situation tteat evening. Elizabeth Tamer said she was the wice of a musical instrument maker, and resided at No. 2, Charlotte-street, Waterloo road. She was in the habit of letting lodgings. She knew nothing of the deceased until last Saturday week, when she came to her house at nine o'clock at night. A porter, who stands at the railway station, brought her luggage, and deceased inquired whether she could have a lodging. Witness replied in the affirmative. She com plained of being cold, and witness asked h e r i n to th e kitchen, where she warmed herself. After that she got some ate, and, after (Linking it, she went to bed. She remained in the house the next day until between two and three o'clock, when she said she was going out to meet her husbanl, and she asked if she had any one who would like to take a walk will her. She said that she had a young woman dawn stairs, and she wont out with her. The deceased returned home at five o'clock, and had tea. After that she went out again, and returned about nine o'clock. A male person came, whom she supposed was her husband, and they had breakfast together. They remained together about an hour and a half. There was no quer i elling between them. When she went to clear the breakfast things, she said that her husband would not return until the next day. She then appeared very com fortable, and not at all excited. The same gentleman came again on the Tuesday, between three and four o'clock, and he and deceased had tea together in the parlour, when the man esked what he had to pay, and she replied 7s 6d, which was paid. He then inquired whether he could Imre the bedroom and parlour, at he would be frequently there. She sensed to let them have the two rooms for 14s a week. They slept in the same room that night. She called them up at six o'clock the next morning, as he wished her to call him early. She saw her at breakfast time, when she seemed as usual. In the middle of the day she complained of headache, but she did not attribute it to any cause. The gentleman slept in the same house for three nights. Oa Sunday she com plained of a pain in her chest. The gentleman sent to Mr. Brooks, and got a mixture for her, and she went upstairs to bed. Witting was not disturbed during the night, but the next morning she went upstairs and foenti that the gentle man wee not there, but the deceased was outside the bed, undressed, and cryiug. She asked what was the matter, and she said she was very bad in the head. She fetched a cup of tea. and lifted her into bed as well as she could. She called for vinegar and water, and bathed her head and temples. She then seemed helpless, and as she was attend ing to her, the gentlemen returned, and the deceased w:s insensible. She told him that he had better have some advice, and she sent him to Dr. Menzies, who attended in about a quarter of an hour, and he asked her some questions, but she was unable to make any replier, and he Qerit her some pills and a draught. She again sent for Mr. M-Ir ziee, who came directly, and she died in his presence. Mr. Robert Menzies said that he was a surgeon in practice, and resided at No. 86, Upper Stamford-street, Lambeth. On Tuesday last he was sent for to see the deceased, and on his arrival found her ou a bed at the house of the 1 ist witness A gentlem in, whom he was given to under stand was her husband, and Mrs. Turner were present. The deceased was then is a comatose state, and he supposed her to be suffering from hysteria. He ordered cold app'i cations to her heal an 1 warm water to her fee' ; but he must confess that he had not the least apprehension of her death at that time. The surface of the body was cold and the pulse irregular. He saw the medicine which had been procured from Ma Brooks, which she had taken a portion o f f ; it was a prop_r mixture tor a cold, and net at all in jurious, if the whole had been taken at once. He was sent for in an hour and a ha'f after, and found Mrs. Turner an I the gentleman present. He sent for a lancet, and tried to bleed her, but no blood flowed, and she ceased to exist. By the Coroner: I have since studied the case in my own mind. I cannot give an opinion as t 3 the cause of death. The case, I must say, is one of an extraordinary character. The learned carnner put it to the jury whether they were a itisfied with the evidence that the deceased had died a natural death, or whether it would not be more prudent to have the bolas opened. Mr. Benbow (a juror) : To see whether she died from poison ? The Coroner : Exactly. Tee inquiry was then adjou-ned. The man who seduced the deceased is said to be married, and has a family of five chilli en, and holds a high appointment in a public insti.u lion. AIIBTRALIAN MAIL.

A PROPE.Iit PustsiotzNr.—On Tuesday, Mr. Richard Hodgson, an extensive miller and shipowner, of Blytb, near North Shields, and his brother, Edward Hodgson, a captain of a merchant ship just returned from South America, were brought before the county magistrates at Tynemouth, charged with assaulting Elizabeth Dickenson, a married woman, wife of a glasaman at Seaton Sluice, en the IGth inst mt. Mrs. Dickenson, who had been to North Shields to make some purchases, was proceeding along the coast to her home about five o'clock in the evening, when she was overtaken by the defendants in a gig, who asked her to have a seat. As she knew them she complied, as she was carrying a large basket and bundle. After she got into the gig, the blackguards, whose only excuse was that they were drunk, assaulted her in a shameful manner, and she had to leap out of the gig at the risk of her life to escape from then:. The bench, after hearing the case, retired, and on returning, the chai man Mr. Rppon, said that they had determined to commit both the defendants to the House of C,rrection for a month.

On Tuesday, the 24th instant, a P aeputation waited upon the Earl of Clarendon, at the Fo'leign Office, for the purpose of presenting a memo ial f.: ors the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, against the Immigration Slave-trade, now being carried on by the French, from the West Coast of Africa. It was composed of the following gentlemen : —The Hon. A. Kinnaird. M.P (Scotland) ; Messrs. R. Reentry, MP. ; Charles Buxton, M.P. ; Chas. Gilpin, M.P. Capt. Wilmot, R.N. ; Capt. Coote, RN. ; the Revs. J. Sherman (Blackheath, J. H. Hinton, William Owen, R. Richard, P. Latrcbe (London), Dr Carlile (Woolwich) ; Messrs. T. F. Buxton, T. H. Gladstone, W.

Wiffin (Woburn), James Cropper (Kendal), E. A. Crouch Lis keard), John Barrow (Lancaster), W. Dendy (Jamaica), William Robson (S:ockton), Dr. N. Shaw, and L. A. ChameroveDw. The memorial called the Earl of Clarendon's attention to the address p-esented by a deputation from the Society to Viscount Palmerston in July last, on the occasion of the attempt made by the West India body to obtain the sanction of the Governments to a general scheme of immigration from the Coast of Africa, and dwelt upon the evils which—as had been predicted— had resulted from the adoption of the scheme by the French Government. through the agency of the Messrs Regis and Co., of Marseilles. It stated, on the authority of Mr. Consul Campbell, at Lagos, that the Portuguese and the Spaniards had greatly simulated the trade in slaves, for they had outbidden the French in their demands far so-called imraig7ants, and shipped large numbers of negroes ; and as one consequence of this demand for men instead of commodities, the native chiefs were abandoning legitimate commerce to turn their attention again to slave-dealing. Quotations were added from the letters of the Rev H. Townsend, Church Missionary at Abbeokuta, and from the Sierra Leone Advertiser, giving a special instance of the injurious operation of the new scheme, and denouncing it as open elave-trading. The Memorial concluded by expressing a hope that the Government woald adopt the promptest means of putting an end to a new traffic in human beings, which, if not checked at once, was likely soon to assume nnlimitable proportions, with results as disastrous as any that have attended the prosecution of the Slave-trade itself. The Earl of Clarendon expressed the gratification it afforded him to receive so large and influential a deputa tion, which he could see, from the list of names handed in, embraced delegates from all parts of the country, and might therefore be regarded as an evidence of the deep and general interest that was felt in the question which the memorial brought under his notice. Such a deputation was very encouraging to the Government, which, he need scarcely observe, was in possession of the fullest information on the subject of this" new system" of obtaining labour, one he did not hesitate to designate as the slave-trade, unmitigated and undisguised. The whole question, however, had been submitted to the consideration of the French Government, which he believed had not foreseen that the result of attempts to obtain immigrants from Africa would be the revival of the Slave trade ; and he felt quite sure nothing was further from the wishes or the thoughts of the Emperor of the French than to re open this execrated traffic in opposition to the policy of the leading ci v ili se d p owers , an d t o th e we ll k nown national sentiment of this country. The evils cou'd scarcely be exaggerated that must arise from the checking of the legitimate commerce which, in many parts of the African Coast, had totally superseded the trade in slaves, and in others was rapidly extinguishing it. This was a point which bore intimately on the commercial interests of this country, and to the importance of which the Government was fully alive. The Deputation would be encouraged to hear that the attempts of the French agent to obtain immigrants had been so unsuccessful, he (Lord Clarendon) thought he might venture to say that, even on this account, the speculation would be abandoned, at least for the present, and no effort should be spared by the Government to prevent the renewal of a traffic between which and the slave trade there was nn appreciable difference. He assured the Deputation of his cordi )1 symp sthy with the objects of the Anti-Slavery Society, and his concurrence in the sentiments set forth in the Memorial. RAILWAY HOSTILITIES AT MANCHESTER. The disruption of the working agreements between the Lend in and North-Western and Maechetter cal Sheffi,ild Railway Companies threatens to invelve legal and Parlia mentrire p - oceedinge On Wedre sday the Loadon and Nerth-Western Company placed a couple of city policem at the junction of the South Junction and Altrincham Railway with their own to prevent passengers from getting out of the trains of the latter company or. to the L road station under pain of prosecution. A lady travelling over the South-Junction line yesterday enerning to the London-road station, on alighting to cross the station and change carriages for Stockport, was stopped by these policemen and compelled to give her name and address before she could obtain egress from the South Junction terminus, and when she had given her name and address she was informe 1 that she would be prosecuted for trespass ! The capital of the South Junction line it now held in equal portions by the Sheffield and the North-Western Railway Companies. It is under their joint management, each company apno:nting three of their own directors to the hoard, and this board nominate one of the dirnetors of each company alternately for a fortnight a: a time to act as chairmen. About a fortnight ago 200 men removed the platform at the London-roe ", e passengers from Warringtoe, Alirincham, and other places west of Menchearer were set down, and they have now formed a siding for empty carriages where it stood, on ere sting which any passenger is wattled th et he will be p-oseeuted for trespass. Their cairn for doing this is founded on the belief that at the time of the construction of the South Junction and Altrincham line the latter company neglected to get a formal trans`er of the land at the point of jueciion from the London and North-Western Company. Upon this point application will be made to Parliament to define the rights of each company, and in the meantim e proceed ings are taking in Chancery to stay the ebstructioa.

On Thursday, the remarkable case of Woolf Levy, alias Montefiore, which has excited a good deal of public interest, was further heard before Mr. Commissioner Phillips, at the Insolvent Debtors' Court, London. Mr. Davereux was called and produced his book in which there were three entries of money advanced to the insolvent, and which advance he had denied on his former examination. He had paid £5 ss. for fees of a Masonic lodge, which the in solvent returned by a post-office order from Bristol. In re!'erance to to an entry in the book, Mr. Devereux said there was no date. It was made after he treated the insolvent with a bottle of champagne, which was after a speech of the insolvent of nearly two hours, when he passed as a Polish refugee, and spoke on the nationality of Poland. Mr. Sargood : You thought the speech was worth a bottle of champagne. Mr. Commissioner Phillips : No, Mr. Sargood ;he thought it was dry. (Loud laughter) It appeared that Mr. Emanuel, who resided in Ordnance-row, 2ortsea, valued the jewels tor Mr. Devereux. Mr. Thos. Taylor stated that he was a jeweller at College-green, Bristol. He remembered the insolvent and the jewels he brought to him for sale. He told the insolvent they were not worth £lOO The insolvent told him ha had given I £l5O or £3OO for them. Subsequently, the insolvent told him he had sold the jewels for £l5O. Mr. Taylor said he ' valued the jewels at £7O. Mr. Dowse proceeded to address the Court, and commenced by commenting on the many cases which had come before the Court ; and of all the marvellous histories which had c ante before the Court, the career of this insolvent was the most marvellous. In tracing his peregrina tions, the learned counsel alluded to the " wooden nutmegs" the insolvent had sold to the Americans. Mr. Commissioner Phillips:said the circumstance about the " wooden nut ! megs" was so extraordinary, that he must know something more about it. In answer to the Court, the insolvent said the wooden nutmegs were made by a machine, and rubb d over with oil of nutmegs, which made them appear like spice. (Laughter.) Mr. Dowse alluded to the circumstance as showing the conduct of the insolvent. His stay in America was short, as no doubt the merchant of wooden nutmegs would be found out, and he was next found at Panama, where he passed as Montefiore, and had drawn a bill on the house of Sir Moses Montefiore. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked the insolvent whether he had ever spoken to Sir Moses Montefioro in his life. Insol vent : I have no recollection. Mr. Commissioner Phillips : Not recollect ! You could not have forgotten it. He is too great a man to forget. The learned counsel went on with his address, and on coming to the draft which the insolvent had bought of a Mr. King on Baring Brothers, for £2,000, on which he got jewels and money from Messrs Wilson and Ritchie, said the creditors did not believe the insolvent had given the money hs had stied for the bill. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked whether the draft on Baring Brothers had been presented to them ? Mr. Dowse said no doubt it had been presented. (The bill was handed to the Commissioner.) Mr. Dowse proceeded, and animadverted on the circumstance that the insolvent had drawn on the house of Rothschild, in London, in favour of Mr. Brown, who wanted him to take £l,OOO, and he reluctantly took £5OO In answer to the Court, the inso'sent slid ha had money in Rothschilds', in Naples. It was one firm, and the reason his draft was not paid was because he had drawn out his money. (A. laugh ) Mr. Dowse called the attention of th© learned Commis sioner to the circumstance that the insolvent arrived in England in March, 1855, when hi went to Newcastle and purchased two ships to trade on the West Coast of Africa, but whether in live or deal stock did not appear. There he passed as " Langfield." He cme to town and got the cigars of Mr. Brown to £52 163, driving up to his house in a brougham and pair with a " tiger," and appeared in a prig ely style, Whilst in town he had a crest engraved with two lions and a horse, but had the head of the fox" appeared it would have been applicable. (Laughter.) On the crest was a motto which the learned Commissioner had translated as "Every one is not in cash." There was a debt at this time for gold lace, for the caps of his officers on board his vessels to the Coast of Africa. The insolvent went to Edinburgh and Glasgow as " Lyon," and in August, 1855, sailed for the Cope of Good Hope, when he returned to the name of "Montefiore." At that time he had £55 in money, but would not say whether he had any "representatives" of money, and the Court did not compel him to answer, as it might render him liable to criminal proceedings In October of the same year he was arrested, having in the six weeks got into debt £Oll. The learned counsel next called the attention of the Court to the imprisonment of the insolvent in the Cape of Good Hope prison, in October, and remained till the following October, when he came to England, and was arrested on a criminal charge in January last. and had remained in prison, the Court of Exchequer having refuse I to discharge him. In the twenty months he had obtained £5,474 from creditors. In that time he had made profits to £3,200, which, with other sums, showed that, in the 20 months ho was at large, he got £8,789, and had lived at about £4OO a month. Was such a man to ga forth to the public Iwi hout a long rem ,nd ? A discussion arose as to whether the Court could remand for fraudulently contracting a debt on the evidence in the case, and the learned Com . miesioner suggested his doubts, and that another point, " without reasonable expectation of payment," was stronger Mr Dowse concluded a very able address by calling on the Court to protect the public, by a severe judgment, upon the insolvent. In the course of the address the point as to the jewels was mentioned, and the Commissioner thought that was the question in the case on the present occasion. Mr. Sargood was heard on the subject, remarking that his learned friend had not had the " courage" to ask the Court to dismiss the schedule on account of the statement of the jewels. The learned counsel pretended that the evi fence would not warrant the Court in coming to the conclusion that the schedule was deliberately false. Was the insolvent, who denied that he owe 1 Devereux one shilling, to be branlel with perj try ? Another break occurre I in the case by the Commissioner calling Dsvarenx. The insolvent denied he owe I him the money, and said the jewels were deposited with him for sale. Mr. Devereux swore that the insolvent owed him £BO and the jewels were deposited with him for the seen ri yof his money. Mr. Commissioner Phillips commenced to give his opinion by saying that the case was no w narrowed to the question as to the jewels. Mr. Sargood interposal, and asked to call a witness. A Mr. Roberts state I that he was at Ceylon, and the in olvent showed him the jewels, for which he asked £7OO, but had £5OO been asked it would have been more near the value. Mr. Commissioner Phillips expressed his opinion on the evidence as to the jewels. He could not brand Mr. Dave raux and Mr. Taylo- with pada cy. Without g oing into the Case he gave ere lit to their statements. The insolvent had made the statement that they were worth £6lO, and available for the creditor, when, in fact, they were deposited for money advanced, an d not o f t h e va l ue alleged. He believe I the statement in the schedule was not only false, but wilfully false, and it must be dismissed. An apelics.- tiou was made foe an advance out of the Charitable Fund, but the answer was there was no money at present. The schedule was accordingly dismissed, an 1 the insolvent removed to the Queen's Prison. At LEWIS & Ranelagh-street, BOYS are CLOTHED IrJrn the Ages of Six Txeaty Years.
