give the following results. (Then follow the
given above.) This balance.sheet commences with a c ,t,..
mint of affairs on the lit of Octoter, 1832, the
which are insignificant compared with those new bed....,,,,
The assets are therein stated at 11,445/., of which .;.
are estimated, and the debts then rising by the
bankrupt at 2.i701. In October, 1832, Brat.i-ea
Island was purchased for 13.0001., from whence ar.,se
the pottery business, after an outlay of shoat
48,0001. The books containing the accounts route:lEl
with the pottery commence in January, 1556. and have been
well kept, there being full details of all cash receiy,,i and
expended, and of goods manufactured and v:d. The
amount of gross profits arrived at is 5,`...7/., and those
figures are vouched. But against this amount ',lust
be set the trade expenses, amounting to 4.1:::;!., at.d
louts by bad debts, 3.35/.—together,
a nett profit of 1,4671. The bankrupt appears to have
sold his commission as colonel in the 20th Regiment of Foot
in May, 1655, and about the same time to have become a
proprietor of 60 shares in the London and Eastern I ink.
His account with that bank commenced in March Frs.
viouslv, the total transactions with which amounted to
551,637/. 8.. !0., ending with a balance against the
bankrupt of 2'21,7331. Bs. 4d. In connection with such
advances from the bank and other parties, roust be noticed
an item in the balance sheet for interest, disccunt,con: n

statementeof aocounts; but the greater part is taken from the
accounts of the London and Eastern Back, Messrs. t an and
Co., and the London and County Bank, for which there are
no passbooks. To that extent therefore, I must refer to
the testimony of the able accountant, Mr. C. Brown, by
whom these accounts have been prepared, under the sr.
pointmest of the court, and who has had access to the
sources from which the figures are derived. One
the most noticeable items in the balaooe.sheet, taken in
connection with the small profit and absence of other is.

four years and a half, 44,555!., in which should be corn.

which are vouched, and may be properly considered as Icee
in forming part of such expenditure, added to the verse of
the Branksea property by improving the land, and fairly as
an addition to the domestic expenses. The property bed by
creditors-185,2811.—is returned at the amount it cost
and the expenditure thereon ; but the moults of its re.
&Bastion, subject to pending questions, must ultimately
considerably add to the amount of the unsecured creditors.
I believe the accounts to have been carefully prepared, and
they are probably as accurate as can be under all the cif-
cumstances of the cam." _

Mr. Linklater appeared for the assignees ; Mr. C. E.
Lewis for the official managers of the London and Eastern
Banking Corporation • and Mr. Sargood for the bankrupt.
Mr. Linklator said it was proposed to take another
adjournment, as the amount of proof to be made by the
London and Eastern Bank had not been settled. .1 pro-
posal had beau made by them, which it was desirable to
accept, but the assignees bed not had en opportunity of
considering it. As the accounts of the bankrupt had
only beer, placed in the hands of the sugarless
OD the 4th of last month, further time would be required to
examine them. They could not be considered udidartory.
The debts were a quarter of a and the expenditure
for four and a half years was put down at 45,0001. Cool,.
daring the magnificent style in which rhe ccluael had hred
near Hyde-park, it was almost surprising thkt his expendi.
tare had been so little. (A laugh.) An adjournment for six
weeks was asked for.

Mr. C. E. lewiswas proceeding to address the mutt,
when

Sargood took the objection that be could cot be
heard, the London and Eastern Bank having u vet made
no proof, but only placed a claim on the proceeding..
His Honour said it was immateri►l, as it appeared that
there must be an adjournment.
Mr. Lewis said it was a meeting for dividend as well ia
last examination.

Ultimately an adjournment for six weeks was ordered.
Mr. &Mend renewed his application for a further allow-
►nce to the bankrupt.
Mr. Linklater regretted that such an application should
be made.

His Honour aid he could not lose right of the tict that
the bankrupt bad expended 10,000!. a year, sod had taken
51101. with him when he went abrosd. The court would greatly
err if it sanctioned any further allowance. Every coo•idene
tion had been shown to the baukrupt, and it we. pot fur the
court to he charitable at the expense of the creditor, The
allowance already made (If. a week) would be cootioued op

ATTEMPTED INcENDIARIsM ON THE YORKSHIRE
WOLD 9- On Sunday evening an attempt was made to aet
fire to a stack in the stockyard of Mr. Wilberforce, Horoby,
who occupies a farm of between 140 and 700 acres, under
Lord Londesborough, in the parish of Sunbernholme, near
Pockbogton. Ooe of the farm servants living in the house,
named Harold Robinson, a Lincolnshire man, was appre-
hended on Monday evening by Superintendent Cordukes, of
the Pocklington police force, on suspicion—which seems well
founded— of being the guilty party, and was taken before
the Rev. F. 0. 5/orris, a magistrate for the Eat Riding,
the rector of the parish, and by him remanded till Wedose-
day, for the purpose of being then further remanded to
Saturday, on which day the Pocklington Beach bold their
usual monthly meeting, when the case will be fully invceti-

PRACTICAL JOKING IN PARK singular scene
recently occurred in the readiog-room of the Imperial
Library, Rue Richelieu, All Paris knows the old
Armenian, M. iimangian, who with his green cap
and long brown robe with ample sleeves, has for
twenty-five years every day occupied the same place at
the table nearest the bureau of the librarians, where, sur-
rounded by formidable folios, he works at compiling an
Armenian dictionary. One day last week, just after the
doors were opened, a person supposed to be the learned
pundit was seen in the usual place, to all appearance
busily engaged at his accustomed labour, when, to
the amazement of all present, a second Armenian,
dressed in exactly the earne costume, entered the room, and
proceeded to the name spot. The last comer, who was the
real Simon Pore, seemed almost petrified with amazement
at finding his place occupied apparently by a double of
himself, bat he soon recovered his presence of mind, and
insisted on having his usual seat It was then discovered
that the first corner was not the real Armenian, but a
young frequenter of the library, who had made up his face
to imitate the original, sod had assumed the Armenian
costume for the purpose of playing a practical joke on M.
Ksaangiao. The latter then resumed his labours, Red the
hoaxer left the library after receiving a severe reprimand
from one of the heads of the establishment—Galiynani.
PORCH EFONTAI NE STEEPLEeR ASES. --The secori.l
day's running, devoted to steeplechasing, came off yesterday
(Tuesday) and the weather being fine and bright, and the
day a public holiday, the attendance was much larger than on
the previous occasion. The arrangements showed a con-
siderable improvement, although much still remains
to be done. The course is irregularly laid out,
and likely to embarrass the riders. This was shown in
the brit race, when the three hones after crossing the
river started off in different directions, their jockeys being
qude uncertain which way to go ; the part opposite
the stands also requires roping off to prevent the public
from entering on the course in the way of the horses.
More than one narrow escape from accident occurred yes-
terday. Porchefontaine does not seem to enjoy yet much
favour with the owners of homes, as, of the four events
run for yesterday, one only produced ae many as five entries,
and the remainder only three each. The obstacles are not
difficult, there being no Irish bank, as at La Marche, and
VIOOOOIII4, and at which whatever accidents take place
usually occur. The river, however, appears to be wider
than at either of those places. With one exception, the
horses got safely over.—Ouligna

Acc-LIMATIsATION IN ENGLAND.—In the sixth
century wheat was Ent sown in England. Up to the six-
teenth oenturr Englishmen grew few fruits and vegetables.
What they consumed were imported. Their chief food
consisted of bread, beef, and mutton. Nearly all the
favourite flower, in England are exotics ; the rose came
from France, Flanders, and Italy; the honeysuckle, haw-
! thorn, and passion flower from America; the lavender.
rosemary, and mignonette from the south of Europe ; the
laburnum from Hungary ; the laurel from Portugal ; the
' bee tree and daffodil from Italy; the weeping
willow from the Levant • and the foxgloves from
the Canaries; broccoli, beans, and cauliflowers came
' from Greece; peas from Spain; carrots and celery from
' Flanders ; asparagus and kidney beans from Asia ; lettuce,
artichokes, and cabbage from Holland ; parsley from Egypt ;
and potatoes from America. The mulberry is from Italy ;
the apple and plum from Syria ; the grape from Portugal ;
the nectarine and peach from Persia ; the gooseberry.
cherry, and strawberry from Flanders; the currant and
apricot from Greece; the qiince from Austria; the poem-
granite. orange, and lemon from Spain ; and the raspberry
and walnut from America. The hop plant came from the
Netherlands.—Aiterm/fan rap,
A Mmilti M.,tIPEN AND nra AhmiRERN.—A word
or two before we close about Arriana, the object of his
adoration. She is a remarkably pretty half-caste, the off-
spriog of an Englishman and a Maori woman. Her mother
die.l some years ago ; and her father, one of those restless,
unsettled beings so often to be met with in the colonies,,
left her to the care of her M iori relations, and started for
Australia: nothing has been heard of him since. When the
war broke not she was living with a settler near A wamutu ;
the family was obliged to leave, and she was carried off by the
rebels. She sacs that this was done against her will, and
that while the lighting was going on at the pa she was tied
to another women to prevent her from attempting to
escape. We suspect, however, that she was tied oily
be' the gentle cords of love, and that a Maori warrior
bed something to do with her presence there. When
the pa was evacuated she was hit by a bullet, which
shattered her arm : it would have tune hard with
her in the indiscriminate slaughter which evened, bail
not some brave fellow stood over her, and defended
her life. No less than ten men came forward to claim
the honour due to his gallant deed ; bat this was after
the report of her beauty had spread over the camp, and
such claimant doubtless imagined that he could establiah a
lien over her heart. Nay, some weeks after the fight, an
enthusiastic militiamen travelled all the way from Eight°,
a distance of thirty miles, and demanded en interview with
the brigadier; he stated that he was the preserver of
Arriana's life ; he could neither eat, nor driuk, nor
sleep, for thinking of her; so he had made up Lis min I to
make her his wife. He bad .in the savings bask, which
stun be wished to devote to her education, so as to pre.
pore her for the duties of the married life. All that he de-
sired at present was an interview with the object, of his
affections ; Arrians would at once recognise him anal rush
;to his arm.. There was only one i;i4ht difficulty; he
spoke no Maori, and she knew no Enclish ; but love hits a
language of its own ; he had no doubt that they would
understand one another. The brigadier, amused at the
fellow's earnestness, granted the ilwired interview. and al. !
lowed the interpreter to be present to assist if the silent
language of dove should prove insufficient. The lover ea-
, tared the room with a bashful, sheepish air, and stared at
I Anima, who stared at him in return ; but there was no
recognition on her part, no outburst of trashing gratitude,
no rushing to his arms. On the contrary; she turned to
the interpreter, and coolly asked what the man wanted ; on
learning which she laughed heartily, and told him to
go away, as she had never seen him before, and
would have nothing to say to him. The p., it man
begged, beseeched, implored, and looked unutterable things; '
Amapa only tittered and turned away her head. Ever since
that time he has continued to urge his suit in letters, written
by
_a half•caste amanuensis; bat the Maori maiden is still
obdurate. The poor militiaman is not the only man who
has felt the power of her beauty. Of claimed to be her pre-
server ; so importunate were some of her admirers, that a
Clhad to be stationed at the but for her protection. She '
ow almost recovered from her wound ; end an asylum
will be provided for her in an orphan institution. We
have still some hopes of the militiaman • perseverance often
leads to suers" ie love as in everything elm—Fraser':
