The bankrupt was a wine sad spirit merchant, of Croat
Tower-street. Thiswas the sitting for examination and
discharge. The amounts, prepared by Mews. Hart Bro-
thers and Bayles, disclose a large amount of liability. The
following are the leading itema

Mr. Ti.ih;m opposed. The bankrupt bad parted with
the stock in hie cellar a few days before the adjudication,
and it was alleged that the transaction was a fraudulent
one. Au &Mice had been brought to recover back the
roy, and that action was still pending. The meets
thPee:ito had only realised 6001. or 7001. ; the result of the
action might augment them.
Mr. Lawman., for the bankrupt, contended that bandit.
lent preference was no longer an offence under the bank-
ruptcy law, and asked that the bankrupt should pass.
A creditor wished for an account explaining the defi-
ciency.
His Honour did not think any additional accounts neces-
sary. He would pass the bankrupt's examination, but
would adjourn the order of discharge until after the trial
of the action, which would throw light on the mode in
which the bankrupt had contracted his debts.

MINER.- (THIS DIY.)

Two o'Ctocs.
In the mining market to-day the principal feature
is a good demand for Great Vor shares, which have
improved to 341 to 35. East Lovell are quoted
15k to 1, being rather flatter. East Grenville, 511, to 1 ;
Frank Mills, 41 to ; East Russell, bi to 1 ;
and South Lovell, 21 to 1. The amount of busi-
ness generally is limited. In the Stock Exchange
East Basset shares have been dealt in at 51, and
Great Lucy at 192.
Port Phillip shares have declined, having been
dealt in at 111. Other colonial, as well as foreign,
mines are quiet.
The subjoined weekly summary of the metal
market is extracted from the circular of Messrs.
von Dadelszen and North :

We have to report more steadiness in the metal market ;
the reduction in the Bank minimum Ms given encourage-
ment to holders, and although we do not anticipate a gene-
ral revival of trade before the turn of the year, we may
fairly expect that prices will be well maintained. iron :

THE BRAZIL MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, Dac. 3.

The Royal Mail steamer Oneida, with the above
mails, arrived here this morning with seventy-two
passengers, 53,1421. in specie, and a general cargo.
She experienced strong northerly winds throughout
her passage.
Buenos Ayres continued to progress under the
able administration of General Mitre. Gold bad
been discovered in large quantities in San Juan at
the foot of the Cordillera Mountains. Over 600
ounces were obtained in nuggets in one day by two
miners.

Hostile measures had been taken by the Brazilian
authorities to enforce their claims on the govern-
ment of the Banda Oriental.

The blockade of Monte Video by s Brazilian
squadron has been declared, and a division of the
Brazilian army has crossed the frontier, and ad-
vanced in the Oriental territory as far as Ceizo
Largo.
Flores had appeared before Monte Video with
3,000 men, but retired without attempting to take
the city.

The United States minister at Rio de Janeiro,
General Webb, has disavowed the proceedings of
the Wachusetts in the port of Bahia, and has pro-
mised on the part of his government that full
satisfaction should be given to the Brazilian
authorities This promise was held worthy of little
credit.

The prorogation of the bankruptcy courts for 60
days expired on the 9th ult., and many failures
were expected, which would have to be subjected to
the tedious and costly process of the court.
Coffee plentiful. Sales moderate. Business dull.

CABINET PILTUREB.

If the moaner picture-eirone of the year are the
lead important, they odisialy have the advantage of being
the moat thoroughly enjoyable. Two or three hundred judi-
ciously esieded pictures, disposed in one or two well lighted
rooms, form an exhibition not likely to overtax either the
mental or physical 'powers of the visitor, but calculated to
give him a pleasant two hours' exercise of mind and body,
and after all leave him free to carry away hie impressions
unclouded by incipient brain-troageetion, or disturbed by the
anguish of a partially dislocated spies. After the exhibition
of French and Flemish picture', given annually in the same
room, the annual winter athibition of cabinet pictures, now
is the twelfth year it its otegissiestiou. is perhaps she Fll,l

greater experiences of life. Judged by the evidence of their

indeed, of working in dread of being supposed to be
aware of the existence of anything out of the
pale of the highly respectable. With the Ld•
amps painters the same spirit seems to prevail; hardly one of
them appears to see in nature agyrbing mere thaa a number
of pretty " bits.' The prompt womb" however, is pep
ham sot the best that could be chosen for the adornment
of these views. Looked at lamely by the light of compari-
son with recent picture-shows, the exhibition opened to the
public to-day may fairly be prooommed equal to any that

MESSAGE OF KING GEORGE TO THE

GREEK ASSEMBLY.

ATHENS, OCT. M.

The following is the official text of the message
recently sent by King George to the National
Assembly :

George L, Bing of the Hallam, to the Second National
Assembly the Hellenic nation.
lirgeetly somincned by Greece, I yielded to ber voice,
in the conviction that she, upon her part, would Will her
obligations towards me. I abandoned Denmark • year ago,
before the annexation of the lonian Islands to the Greek
kingdom—a condition agreed upon in my acceptance of the
Greek crown—had been accomplished, and consequently
before the mastitution for the new State had been voted.
In a few days a year will have elapsed since my arrival.
No one, I think, is unaware of the patience with which
I have endured the abnormal position of royalty in pre-
sence of an asseasby actin/ at the mole time as a constituent
assembly and as a legislative chamber.
The annexation of the lonian Islands to the remainder of
the kingdom bag further been long accomplished. The
pressen' in the body of the Assembly for the last two
month. of the representatives of that country has gives
the National Assembly every facility fortermiaating, with-
out fresh delay, the vote of the constitution epos the basis
of the project drawn up a year ago. What has takes place
in the Aseembly up to the present time affords me the con-
viction that its labours may still be prolonged for a con-
siderable period. . . .

The prokagstion of this position, which neutralises all
governmental solicitude, and paralyses all administrative
actios, not only unquestionably deprives the nation of pre-
Mous advantages, but will certainly one.. evils which it will
be difficult subsequently to repair. The impatience with
which the people suffers this irregular condition of affairs
is known to me.

Indispensable duty towards the Hellenic people, and even
the interests which ought to be placed under the guarantee
of the constitution, imposes upon me the obligation of re-
quiring the aeration of this state of things. For this pur-
pose I have desired my ministers to lay the annexed draft
of the remainder of the constitution before the National
Assembly, and to declare that I am ready to 'incept and sip
the portion already voted, as well es that which shall be
voted according to the plan I submit, the oonditioos al
which in no degree differ frees the wishes expressed by the
Assembly up the present time. I request th. Assembly to
deliver its vote epos Ilia plan within a period of tea days.
My ministers will also bring forward within a period of
ten days a bill relating to the election of deputies. I re-
quest the Assembly to debate and vote upon this bill in the
rune of this mouth.

But if the Nati...sal Assembly does not conclude these
labours eithin the above-mistimed periods, I remorse to
myself fall liberty se to my future course, whittle will be
such as shall be dictated to me by my deceived hopes, and I
make the Assembly responsible for all the consequences.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nos ous ows ooasserososer.)
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

The Constitutionnel, by the pen of the imperturb-
able K Boniface, " thinks " itself able to contra-
dict the statement that M. Nigta's important de-
spatch on the convention of Isth of September was
communicated to the French government before it
was sent. The denial is, however, feebly worded,
and far from endorsing the assertion of La France
that K Drouyn de Lhuys has remonstrated with
M. Nigra about that despatch, K Boniface
hastens to quit the subject, saying that
it is not yet ripe for discussion because
the Italian parliament is about to vote, and
it must vote "not only with a full knowledge
of facts, but in all liberty." It is very kind,
certainly, of M. Boniface to abstain from dictating
to the Italian parliament. But as he must be quite
certain that it will vote nothing contrary to M.
Nigro:* despatch, his implied threat of • more
profuse expenditure of eloquence at some future
time is mere bombast.

The Pays says that the Czar, after quitting Nice,
was to be at Toulon before the Emperor left that
port, and the Opinion Nationale pretends that his
Russian majesty is, after all, coming to Paris.
I do not believe a word of either of
these pieces of news, much less the last.
According to the best information the meet.
ing of the Emperors has had no political re-
sult whatever. It would probably never have
taken place at all but that the Emperor Napoleon,
after much negotiation and much hesitation, came
to the conclusion at the last moment that the least
of the two evils would be to go to Nice rather than
expose himself to the oonjectures which the renun-
ciation of a journey so much talked about would
give rise to.

Unless the Monitsur to-morrow morning shall
succeed in explaining away the Duke of Magenta's
circular about the projected loan of 750 millions
(so confidently ignored by M. Boniface), another
panic at the Bourse is looked for. Money must be
had in some form or another, for there is beyond
all doubt a large deficit which I hare heard esti-
mated at as much as 300 millions. The increase
of bullion in the Bank of France is in great mea-
sure factitious, and attributable to the rejection of
large quantities of first class paper, such as has
newer been refused discount before.

I observer statement in the Temps that the
Moniker will shortly publish a decree creating a
cause, or bank of public works, and that this bank
will be authorised to issue bonds at six per cent,
redeemable "in a mode to be determined by the
decree." This is, doubtless, a device for substan-
tially carrying into effect the grand scheme of M.

THE GALE

WITHERNSEA. ma HULL, Ocr. 29.
At daybreak thin morning, at about half-tide,
with the wind blowing strong from the east, and a rolling
sea and heavy surf on the beach, a large full rigged ship,
deeply laden, was discovered within a mile of the shore,
with the Union Jack run up at the foremast. Seeing the
ship in tine perilous position it was deemed advisable
to launch the Withernesalifehost of the National Institution,
and if necessary put a man ou board to pilot her. The boat
bad warmly been launched when the wind veered to the
and on the lifeboat arriving alongside the able. the
captain declined any 'selenium's. The wind getting a little
more month, and the tide =akin, the ship got off, and at
dark was standing for the north. The vassal was the Mar.
&ionise of Queensberry, bound from Quebec to Hull. Had
the wind not veered to the south and moderated, the ship
could sot have got off, end would, in all probability, have
come ashore. The lifeboat was severely tested, and although
twioe filled with water behaved spleorlidly. The wind has
this evening spin increased from the east. The cost of
this lifeboat was the gift to the institution of the late Mies
Sarah Lechinere, of Hanley Castle.

NORTH SUNDERLAND, OCT. 29.
A venal was obeerved this morning ashore on the island,
and the signals being mistaken owing to the fog sod rain,
the National Institution's lifeboat went off only to dad that
the shipwrecked men were safe on the Faroe, sad that
her services wen not required. The weather was very
stormy and has been so for the last ten days, but, fortu-
nately, mottling so severe as it has been farther north.

BO W.STHEET.

Alexander von Itruynesrwaa summon ed, but did not
appea tom answer a charge of attempting to evade paymeut
of Cuss duty on of cigars and 11b. Soz. of tobacco.
Two wooden pedestals, apparently hollow, were deposited at
the Custom-house by a licensed lightertnan, to be examined.
They bad been consigned by Van Kruynest sad Co., of Brus-
sels, to J. Smits, of Northetreet. finsbiu7. The pedestals
were Mt. in height, nada of wood, and coloured in imitation
of marble. The examiuing officer, on tapping the pedestals
with his knuckles, fancied they did not monad hollow, and on
boricg the aide with a gimblet found the cipre and tobacco.
Sentence—A fine of 1001., or in default six months' impri-
aonmeot so soon is he shall be captured.

W. Curtis; a eatiit;tmaker, in the City-rod, was gam-
moped for unlawfully detaining • valuable terrier dog, the
property of Mr. Fordbam, of 85, City-road, stationer.
The complainant said he lost his dog in July last, and had
fated it in the pommies of the defendant, who refused to
V.:clap, declaring that he had purchased it from the
. The complainant's son and his foreman swore to
the dog ie queetiou having been stolen from him, and spoke
to several well-known marks. The dog was brought int*
court, and a searching investigation was entered into to dis-
cover the particular marks of identity, but there appeared
to be some little difficulty in this branch of the case. Mr.
Fordham at length discovered • singular fact, which had
been quite overlooked. "I beg pardon." said he, "I am very
sorry, but I have made a mistake. That cannot be my dog,
for in fact my dog was really • dog, whereas this is • lady
dog." d roar of 'laughter followed the annouocement. and
the summons was dismissed, the meta and expenses being
paid by the complainant.

GREENWICH.

Michael Mahoney,;; and slim-built
man, of Tanner's-hill, Deptford, was brought up co remand,
charged with burglariously entering the bowie of Juries
Couch, at Deptford.
The prosecutor said—Between 12 and 1 o'clock at Safer
day night last i was awoke by my lodger, who said he
thought there were thieves in the house. I jumped out of
bed, got • light, and went down stain, and on entering the
front parlour I found the misuse sitting in the arm-alien,
with his hands on his knees. (Laughter.) I held the light
rip to his face and looked at him, sod he looked at me.
(Renewed laughter.) Neither of as spoke, and I quietly
"backed" out of the room, and looked the door upon the
prisoner—(laughter)—end sent my lodger for a policeman,
remaining myself to prevent the prisoner ,soaping. On •
constable coming and entenng the parlour it was found that
the prisoner had slipped off the chair on to the floor, and he
was then taken into custody.
Mr. Traill—Did he appear to be drunk?
Prosecutor—Not at all, your worship. He pretended to
be asleep, bat opened his eyes gunk enough when I held
the light to his face. ( Loud laughter.)
Police-constable 92 K said—l took the prisoner into cus-
tody, and oa doing so, sod making him what business be bad
in the house, be said, "I have not stolen anything ; has he
missed anything'On searching the prisoner, only a few
halfpence were found on him. Oa examining the present.
tot's premier, I found that • pans of glass ia the parlour-
window had been cut out, putty and all. The primmer had
been driskiog. He most have got in through the openingmade by toting oat the pule of glue. (Laughter.)
Mr. Traill-1 should hardly think that possible. What Is
the sine of the window-panes!
Constable—They are 17 inches by 15 ladies, your worship,
and the prisoner, who is very thin, could essay get through
that space. The window was hasped, and pots of flowers
before the window Dot knocked down, except one opposite
the pane of glue cot oat."
George Rowell, the lodger, said he first heard • knock at
the street door, and then a noise of • penou in the house,
when be awoke the promoter.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he had been drinking,
and could ace say bow ha came into the house. He pro-
duced • letter, showing he war in regular employ, and bore
a good character for honesty.
IMr. Trail said the prisoner had been nearly a week in
prison through his folly for he did not think it likely that
• preen who intended to commit • burglary would tint
knock at the street-door. (Laughter.) He should now
order the prisoner to pay • Ow of Is. for being drunk, and
to enter into recoguisucee to be of good behaviour for three
months.

SURREY SESSIONS.

Testerday morning a special adjourned sessions for the
peace for the county of Surrey commenced at the Sessions-
house, Newingtoo-causeway. before J. A. Johnson, Esq.
(chairman), Thomas Ttlsoe, Esq. (deputy chairman), W. A.
Wilkinson, A. Bayson, E. C. Derrnar, Eyre., and a full
bench of magistrates. Although the last sessions only ter-
minated • fortnight ago there were thirty-six Fulsome' for
trial whose names are on the calendar, twenty-nine of whom
were charred with felony and seven for misdemeanour. The
state of education was as follows :—Nine were entirely de-
void of education, four can only read, and the remainder can
read and write imperfectly. Among the charges are oce
for rape on a girl under the age of twelve ; two for mall•
ciously wounding ; one for embezzlement ; one for bores
stealing ; two for robberies from the person, and the re-
mainder for petty larceny.
On the names of the grand jury being called over one
gentleman begged to be remitted a fine imposed upon him
at the last sessions, and asked to be excused serving, inas-
much a. he was an accountant to a public company.

He mid that it was mein./ to the half-yearly meeting of

The Chairman told him that each an excuse would have
no effect with the court. They could not remit the line,
neither could they execute him.
Oa the grand jury being sworn the chairman told them
that the reason of their being called together so remedy
was according to a custom which had existed in this county
for many yeen of holding a sessions three days prior to the

cases, so that their valuable time would only be occupied in

BELGIUM.

Belgium is still without a ministry. The King,
it is said, has addressed himself to the Prince de
Ligne, to constitute what is called a business
cabinet ; that is to say, one without political
character. Combinations of this kind are usually
ephemeral, and it is generally supposed that a new
election can alone establish a ministry.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENDIG.

The Opinion Nationale thinks that M. Thiess'
suggestion that if France must still exact retribu-
tion from Mexico she might, while abandoning the
expedition in the interior, hold Tampico and Vera
Cruz as a pledge, is a bad one, for the reason that
Juarez would not recognise the customs' duties
levied in those ports, and would exact additional
ones in the interior of the country. M. Thiess, it
is true, anticipated this objection by saying that
the French government would necessarily be first
served, and might take what it liked, but then the
Opinion Nationale observes that commerce would
fly such inhospitable shores, and there would be no
customs' duties to dispute about.
The Bourse has been more buoyant than for a
long time past. There is no positive news about
the Danish question, but the impression is strong
that war will be prevented. Bente rose 15c. for

William Youilxae.crTH,:i aaa hawker, was brought
beforeldr. Alderman Hale, charged with having in his poi-
session two silver spoons, some motel spoons, and other arti-
cle*, 51. in silver money, and a quantity of copper money,
which had been stolen from the Old Catherine Wheel
Tavern in Bishoperateatreet.
It appeared that Mr. Geddes, the proprietor of the
home above-mentioned, retired to bed on the previous
night between twelve and one o'clock, after having made
the place unite secure. About four o'clock he was aroused
by the noise of footsteps in the yard, and he got up, and
on looking through the window saw there was a light in
the bar, which was not there when he went to bed. He
opened the window and called out, and saw two men in
the yard, both of whom got over the wall by
means of a ladder, and got away. Mr. Geddes called a
constable, and on making an examination of the place it
was found that an entrance had been effected through the
hack-kitchen window, and the door leading from the
kitchen to the bar was forced open, 51. in silver, ands quite-
fay of copper money, chiefly the old coinage, and two silver
spoons, and some other articles were missing. The money
was tied up in small canvas bags.
About the same time, namely, 4 o'clock, polioe-constable
Dennis was in New-street, Diatomite, when he saw the
prisoner and another man running towards him from
Biahopagate. They perceived him, however, and turned back
immediately, and he gave the alarm and ran after them,
and the prisoner was taken by another constable. The
other man managed to escape. While following the pri-
soner, Dennis picked up la. 10d. in copper money, which
was thrown away either by the prisoner or his companion.
When taken to the oration the prisoner was searched and
6/. in silver, half-a-sovereign, and D. 16s. in copper money,
two silver teaspoons, and • few other articles were found
on him. The spoons, Sic., were identified by Mr. Geddes,
and the money was tied up in bags, which were identified by
that gentleman as being the same he left in his bar on the
previous night. Some skeleton keys were also found on the
prisoner.
Inspector Mitchell asked that the prisoner might be
remanded, and he was remanded accordingly.

other men in custody with stealing a quantity of leather,
oil, and other articles, the property of the South Western

alias Fidler, who was employed as • laborprr in the
above-mentioned department, was found to be occupying •
farm at Cudham, in Kent, at which place Mr. Bent, the
superintendent Of police on the South Western line, and
Inspector Bushnell, of the V division, discovered a lugs
quantity of miscellaneous prourty, in all about two toss
weight, sufficient to load a three-horse wurgoo. A man
named Smith, who represented himself as Fuller's foreman
at the farm, was also taken into custody and remanded with
his • mployer.
Policsoonstable Mountjoy, 17 V, said—From information
I received I went yesterday morning to the prisoner's resi-
dence. When I saw him I asked him whether he knew
Fuller. He said. "I know what you have come about.
All I took to Fuller's house was two parcels." I asked him
when, and be said, " Ooe last Thursday week, and the
other about last Christmas." I asked him whether he knew
what the parcels contained. He said the last parcel he did
not, but the first was • goose, which Fuller rid was a par-
cel from his master. I then took him into custo.
Mr. Bert then gave evidence as to the finding tithe pro-
perty, and said he should be able to prove that the prisoner
bad taken the goods from the company's premises in his
van to the Lando", Chatham, and Dover Railway station
for Si. Mary's Orly, at which plain the property was re-
moved by Fuller's honeaed waggon.
Elizabeth Itifby, the wife of a carman in the employ of
the company, living in New-street, Buttemea-fields, proved
that at the time Fuller lived opposite to her the prisoner
was in the habit of calling at his house with his cart twice •
week for six months, and leaving parcels there.
The prisoner, who dented asy complicity with the rob-
beries, was then remanded to be brought up with the other
