BANKRUPTCY COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.)
re re W. M. TOWNSON.—This bankrupt was a
licensed victualler in Christian-street, Liverpool, and
appeared yesterday on his last examination. Mr. Evans,
for the assignees, stated that an adjournment would be
necessary, as, owing to the bankrupt's ill health, the
balance sheet had not been prepared: His Honour ad-
journed the sitting to The 22nd October, and,Thn the
application of Mr. Atkinson, continued the bankrupt's
allowance to that day.
In re ISAAC J. BARRETT.—This bankrupt kept "The
London" restaurant, in Clayton-square, and appeared
on his adjourned last examination. Mr. Evans, who
appeared for the assignees, stated, that in this case the
balance-sheet had only just been filed, and that au
adjournment would be necessary to comply with the
rules of the court. His Honour adjourned the ease to
the Rh October. _ _ _

In re RICHARD HORROCKS.—The bankrupt, who i„
a flour dealer, carrying on business in Great Homer-
street, applied to pass his last examination, and was
supported by Mr. Evans. Mr. Martin represented the
estate, and Mr. Hostay, of Chester, appeared on behalf
of a creditor, and opposed the bankrupt's passing his
examination. The ground of opposition was, that the
bankrupt had incurred the debt with his client after he
had received a notice in bankruptcy from another cre-
ditor, and when he knew that he was insolvent. His
Honour, without expressing an opinion. whether the
objection was proved, said that the certificate sitting
was the proper time.to urge the Objection. The bank-
rupt then passed, and the certificate sitting was
appointed for the 19th of October.
In re JOSEPH JUKES.—This bankrupt was an iron-
master, and late of the Ponkey Iron Works, near Wrex-
ham. His last examination, appointed for yesterday,
was, on the application of Mr. Evans, who appeared for
the assignees, adjourned to the Bth October, the balance
sheet not having been filed in time.
In re WILLIAM HERRING.—This bankrupt, a whole-
sale confectioner, in Lime-street, Liverpool, appeared
on his adjourned last examination. Mr. Harris, for the
assignees, stated that the balance sheet had not been
filed,
and applied for an adjournment. His Honour,
after hearing Mr. J. J. Yates on his behalf, adjourned
the case to the Bth October.
In re JACKSON AND EASTMAN.—These bankrupts
-were commission agents and brokers in Liverpool, and
applied to pass their
last examination.—Mr. Collins, for
sheets eets ;e b
the assignees, stated that the object for which the last
afidlijnoguronfms
separate
rtaotoe took
balance place had been
l attained,a d namely,therefore,
now
to consent to their passing.—His Honour, after referring
to the file, allowed them to pass. The
certificate sitting
was appointed for the 19th October.

FALL OF A CANAL BRIDGE AT
MANCHESTER.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF 150 PERSONS.
An accident of a most extaordinary nature, attenaea
with the loss of only one life, occurred on Monday
evening, a few minutes after six o'clock, in Manchester.
Across the Rochdale Canal, in the Oldham-road, at the
bottom of Prussia-street, and connecting that street with
Potts-street,, is a narrow woOden-floored iron girder
bridge. There is a very large open piece of waste ground
on the Potts-street side, immediately upon which the
passengers over the bridge descend. The piece of
ground was throughout the afternoon on Monday
crowded with people of the labouring class, who were
delighting in the dissipations of the New Islington Wakes.
There were three or four huge sheds, covered with canvas,
in which dramatic talent. of the lowest. order was exhibi-
ted before admiring houses, the spectators being admitted
at Id. per head. One boarded box contained the fat
woman, the dwarf, and the giant,—the indispensable
trinity of every show; another was called a "Marionette
Theatre." On stages outside these places were poor,
half-clad men, discoursing discordant music ; some ten
or twenty faded, shrivelled, painted creatures, dressed
in most faded and fantastic clothes—clown, columbine,
and pantaloon gesticulating and capering ; all at the same
time shouting, shunting, playing. There were also
several highly-coloured swing boats loaded with children,
who were whirled round with dizzy rapidity, and a huge
circular frame of hobbyhorses, some with and some with-
out riders. The clamour, bustle, and gaiety of this
scene attracted a number of youths of both sexes to
place themselves on the narrow bridge referred to, and
from thence watch, as from a gallery, the scene on tke
waste ground. The bridge sprang from a single flight
of steps on the Prussia-street side, and on the Potts-
street side rested upon a stone abutment,: which rose
from the waste ground and overhung the towing path
of the canal. In the centre the bridge rose slightly.
The floor was composed of wood, and the railings were
of iron. A few.minutes after six o'clock, a great number
of girls from neighbouring factories proceeded to cross the
already-crowded bridge, and probably lingered upon it.
At the same time, police constable G. Walford, of the C
divisidn, ascended the steps on the Potts-street side to
clear the bridge. While doing so, a sudden crack
was heard, and immediately afterwards the bridge fell
into the canal beneath, carrying with it upwards of 150
persona, chiefly young women. The most marvellous
fact 'remains to be told; the bridge snapped the stone
clear off:on the PrusSia-street side, on the Pott-street
side it moved a mass of stone weighing about 2cwts. out
of its place, while the bridge fell in an upright position,
the centre breaking after it had reached the bottom of
the canal, and the crowd upon it were kept standing by
the iron railings. As soon aSi the accident was seen, a
number of men most gallantly dashed into tke water,
and the affrighted, half-drowned people were extricated.
Some. remained clinging to broken pieces of the bridge
that remained suspended out of the water, while the
major portion were divided in two parties, and thrown
to opposite ends of the bridge. Several were taken out
in a half senseless condition, and some were slightly
bruised, but only one life was lest—that of a child,
about twelve years old, named Margaret Aekroyd, late
residing with her parents at 68, Naylor-street, Oldhata-
road.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS FOR rise EFFECTUAL CURE OF DROPSY.—
The efficacy of Holloway's Pills in dropsy is extraordinary.
They act with such peculiar effect upon the system, that the
fluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly
carried o and prevented from any further accumulation.
The sufferlFregams a buoyancy of spirits, and rejoices in a
completely renovated constitution. These admirable Pills
have a similarly happy effect on rimy other diseases, par-
ticularly liver complaints and chronic indigestion. They
act upon the constitution generally by purifying the blood,
regulating the secretions, and giving tone to the stomach and
kidneys. They are composed of rare balsams, without the
admixture of a single grain of any noxious substances. They
are as safe as they are efficacious.
NEW IS:VD:MON.-I.km NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.---A greater
atmoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recentimprove-
ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudnall
and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel
can be taker, out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of heinie, corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for tire minute;,'
quick writing. The pen Itself is of the finest description, andin merchants-. offices, banks, and indeed id every place, it leill
be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, Lunde,' to us by Mr. E. T. I' vii,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour .
