(Baas Mr.Commim. sionorGoulbarn.)

Tbe bankrupt, described as • commission agent, of
James-street, Oxford:stre•t, ems a horse dealer. D,lts 638/.

- _
Mr. Denny opposed on behalf of a creditor to whom tbe
bankrupt bad sold two horses, giviog a warranty with
them. The horses turned out to be worthier ; the creditor
brought an motion for GOI., the money paid for the horses ;
and the result was the bankrupt come to this court.

His Honour mid the credito; mud ham been very inex-
perienced to deal with a man of tide character.
Mr. Denny did he had every reason to believe that he
was a respectable man. He bad given a guarantee, and
undertook to take back the horses if not approved of. He
was for some time out of the way, and when he was found
and the action brought be defended it, and put the plaintiff
to an expense of 271.
It appearing that the bankrupt bad not tarnished the
accounts ordered, the cam was adjourned.

The bankrupt was a butcher of Southampton. Debts,
1,5001. ; assets, about 1201.
Mr. E. Reed opposed ; Mr. Pattison supported.
It transpired that this was either the fifth or sixth time
that the bankrupt had been before the court, and that be had
Dot rendered satisfactory accounts.
His Honour said it wu intolerable that men steeped in
insolvency should be allowed to resort to the court when-
ever they found they could get no further credit, and ask
for an immediate order of discharge without renderiug any
sufficient account to their creditors. The case most be ad-
journed sine die, with protection for a mouth only.

The bankrupt was a corn merchant of Oakham, Rutland-
shire. This was the adjourned sitting for examination and
discharge. The amounts, prepared by Mews. Hart and
Co., show debts of 5,1351. ; assets returned at 1,450/. In
this case there had been a new choice, after an appeal on the
point to the Lord Chancellor, who expressed hie opinion
that there was great suspimosi of collusion between the
bankrupt and the assignee originally chosen.
Mr. Bagley asked for an adjournment, the new assignee
not having had time to investigate the accounts.
Mr. E. Reed urged for an immediate deciaion on the
ease. This was the tenth adjournment. The estate bad
already realised near 1,0001., and the bankrupt had not had
any allowance.
• Elie Honour mid the accounts were very. unsatisfactory
the owe was one which called for • searuhing inquiry, and
tie , most be an adjournment.

to proves debt, and no assignee was chosen. Farther pm-
readings were adjourned till the examination sitting. The
debts see stated at about 1,2001.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.-: WiNctutsTEß, I.l.siten 3.
Before Mr. Se sent Shoe, who presided in the room of
Mr. Justiot Wilde, who was prevented going on circuit

George Peckham, aged 26, a labouring man, was indicted
for wilfully slaying a lad named Arthur llibden, at Cachalot,
on the 26th of ber. The grand jury had ignored the
bill charging the prisoner with wilful murder.
Mr. Compton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Pri-
deaux defended the accused. . _ .

The death in this ciao was the result of a beer-house
quarrel. A party of men and lads had been drinking until
a late hour of the evening, at the White Hart, and upon
leaving words took place between them, and two of them, a
man named Soffe and a brother of the prisoner, commenced
fighting. Some tried to stop the fight, sod John White-
horn seized the prisoner's brother and tried to pull him off
Soffe. Prisoner then interfered and struck Whitehorn,
who responded with s knock down blow. The prisoner got
up and went off, saying he would fetch " something" for
him (Whitehorn). Prisoner returned in a few minutes, and
wee seen with a large and heavy piece of wood (4 or 5 inches
in diameter, and five feet in length), and holding it with
both hands, he swung it twice, and then threw it with all
his force at Whiteborn. The minas, however, first ■truck
deceased a fearful blow in the head, severing the ear, and
felling him to the ground. He died four days after from
the result of the injury so received. The small end of the
stick struck Whitehorn on the leg. The prosecution argued
that the prisoner, intending maliciously to iojureWhitehorn,
bad killed Dibdeo, and was therefore by law guilty of man-
slaughter.
The prisoner's counsel argued upon the general want of
evidence to show the deceased's identity; that it was not
clearly proved who threw the stick ; and even if the prisoner
did throw it, be would have got closer to Whitehorn had he
wished to inflict serious injury.
The prisoner was convicted, and sentesteed to three years'
penal servitude.

THE FRENCH IN MEXICO.

The Moniker of yesterday contains news of the
French army in Mexico, which is of the usual cha-
racter. The intelligence is to the 25th of January,
and it states that in consequenoe of the movement
towards Puebla,Jalapa has been abandoned. " The
occupation of this place," it adds, " uselessly iso-
lated forces intended for more active employment
by the commander-in-chief." Several engage-
ments had taken place, which were not, however, of
a nature to " inspire the enemy with confidence."
The most serious of these took place on the 28th
December, between Jalapa and Puerta Nationale,
three companies of the 62nd having routed num-
berless guerillas, who left behind them 50 killed
and a hags number of wounded. The Moniker, in
conclusion, says :—" The material of the artillery
and of the engineers has arrived at Orizaba from
Vera Cruz ; General Forey is despatching convoys
towards the upper plains. The siege train and all
the batteries of the reserve have gone. Provisions
are despatched in succession without delay upon the
road which leads to Quec.holac. The sanitary con-
dition of the troops is satisfactory. Means of
transport increase daily. In a word, everything is
being prepared for the advance of the army."

It is said that when Mieroelawaki left Paris he
shaved off his beard, dyed his hair, sad amused the dia.
meter of a commercial traveller in the wise trade. Be
arrived on the 14th ult. at Berlin, and stopped there sane
hours. On the 15th be WM at loowroclawo, aed spent the
evening there with several Prussian officers, wham he

Certain members of the &drawled party in Italy
expressed their intention • short time slime of forming

By • circular dated the 10th February, which has just been
published, the Minister of the Isterior announces that the
formation of such corm oanoot be permitted except by the
direct authority of the government. The prefects are re-
quested to make this known to their subordisatee, and to
take allneceseary measures for prevailing volunteer bodies
from being orgatused.

gained to the burgess class and to liberal ideas,
and 613 to the conservative principles professed by,
the other three orders—nobles, clergy, and pea-
rants. Taking into account, therefore, that the
agricultural class in Sweden represents seven-ninths
of the whole population, the increase in favour of
progress manifested by the electoral votes cannot
fail to attract notion.

I learn from the shove that the rebels have piled saadbigs
ea the wharf is the rear of Sumter, against the rear wall,
forty fist high, sempletely protecting the magazines from
the shoes batteries of General Gilmore. The removal of the
gum from the parapets of Sumter is probably from the con-
viction that our army batteries will silence them. There
hays been but two or three shot. fired to-day,
both parties observing the sabbath,day. It is gene-
rally understood that the result will be made
to-morrow, and the weather promises to be most favourable
for operations. The ocean is as calm as a mill-poad, sad

PARIS. Sr.ar 2.
The Emperor presided at a Ministerial Council
to-day.

The Camp of Chitlona was raised raterdax.
La France of this evening publishes letters from
St. Petersburg to the 28th ult., according to which
the retrograde party opposed the scheme of a con-
stitution. It was probable, however, that this
party would not succeed in its endeavours. It was
smarted that Prince Gortchakoff, who was also
opposed to the scheme, had modified his ideas.
La France does not think that the new phase
into which the negotiations on the Polish question
have entered will weaken the good understanding
between France, England, and Austria.
The Pays of this evening says the report is in-
correct that France has protested against article 8
of the project for the reform in the constitution of
the German Confederacy.
The Pays also states that it is not true that M.
Drouyn de Lhuys will take leave of absence.

Taczanowski had retreated towards Oracow.

AUSTRALIA.

The Melbourne parliament was adjourned until
the 17th of November, but it was not thought likely
that the business of legislation would commence in
earnest until the beginning of 1864, when the land
question will be one of the first to claim attention.
Opposition to the revival of transportation by
the Lome government continues as strong as ever
in Australia. On the 29th September there was •
unanimous meeting of the most influential citizens
of Melbourne, when resolutions condemnatory of
the commissioners' report and a firm but respectful
remonstrance to her Majesty were unanimously
adopted. • The proposer of the first resolution was
Sir W. Stawell, the Chief Justioe of the colony.
The Anti-Transportation League, originally formed'
some twelve years ago, was formally reorganised,
and an anti-convict manifesto prepared, copies of
which have been despatched to England by the
present mail. The petition adopted at the
meeting was subsequently presented to his
Excellency the Governor for presentation to
her Maesty. Similar demonstrations have since
taken place, not only on all the principal goldfields,
but in almost every town and village throughout
the country, resulting in the establishment of
branch Anti-Convict Leagues. The following is •

THE FEDERAL EXECUTION IN HOLSTEIN.

DRESDEN, Doc. It

The four German powers deputed to carry out
Federal execution in Holstein have sent a summons
to-day to the Danish cabinet to evacuate Holstein
within seven days.

ALTOlig., Dm,
It is asserted in well-inferrned circles that the
Danish government has resolved not to make any
opposition to Federal execution. A friendly under-
standing will, it is expected, be arrived at with the
great German powers.

La France of this evening says :--".ri Cabinet

at which it was determined that in order to avoid
a conflict the Danish troops would evacuate the
towns in Holstein which the German troops intend
occupying."

BERLLN, Dnc. 12.
Lord Wodehouse has arrived here, and had a
conference with Herr von Bismarck to-day. After
having had an audience of the King, be will pro-
ceed to Copenhagen.

The semi-official Norddeutache Zeitung of this
evening says—in reference to the proclamation of
the Duke of Augustenburg, which announced the
formation of a Holstein army for the support of
the Federal troops and the defence of his country—
that it is not to be supposed the Federal Diet will
permit such ade facto interference, which would
prejudice the settlement of the legal question.

THE ITALIAN BUDGET.
TURIN, Dec. 12.
The debate on the Budget for 1864 took place
to-day in the Chamber of Deputies.
The Minister, in his financial statement, sum-
marised the budgets of 1861, 1862, and 1863. The
deficit for these three years was to have been
covered by the loan of 500,000,000 lire and an
issue of Treasury bonds. 200,000,000 lire of this
loan remain, however, undisposed of ; and with
this sum and the proceeds of some fresh taxes, for
which bills would be brought forward, the Minister
proposes to meet the deficit for 1864. To cover the
deficit of 1866 and the following years, the Minister
calculates upon the sale of the crown lands. He
concluded by pointing out the economy realised in
the public expenditure, and the constant augmen-
tation of public wealth.

INDIA.

Our advioes from Calcutta state that up to the
departure
of the mail no further details had been
received respecting the movements of the rape-
ary force under General Chamberlain.
An official report on the state and prospects of
the cotton cultivation in the North-Western pro-
vinces for the current year has been published,
from which we learn that as a whole the long
continued drought and subsequent deluge, com-
bined with the swarms of locusts hovering over the
country, has produced very unfavourable results.
One of the Indian papers speaks very highly of
the manner in which the new Cotton Pressing Com-
pany at Meerut turn out cotton screwed with their
new iron screw. A bale containing a little over
three mounds of cotton was compressed, without
the slightest trouble, in the space of eight and a half
cubic feet, and the time occupied in pressing, in-
cluding lashing and sewing, did not exceed thirty
minutes. A large business is expected to be done
by this company in the upper districts.
The Colombo Observer of November 16 says :
" A rumour, the truth of which we are inclined to
believe, is that the famous Confederate cruiser
Alabama is now sailing about our coasts off Gallo.
Indeed, it is stated that she was provisioned by a
fiabing-smack from that port only a few days
ago ; and it is further stated that an American
vessel, the Bullion, now much overdue here from
Calcutta, has probably been captured by her.
The Madras Athenteum thus refers to Lord
Elgin's career in India :
It is a ereat calamity for India and the Empire that so
eminent a statesman and good a man should be removed
from the Viceroyship in the plenitude of his powers, and
just when, having acquainted himself with the affairs of the
country, he was prepared to exercise them to the best ad-
vantage. Hitherto the results of his administratice have
not been great, and harsh critics ars not wanting is their
suggestions that we should have little to look for in a pro-
longation of hie career. We. however, entertain a different
opinion. Looking at Lord Elgiu's asteoedeute, we have no
doubt whatever that he would have sogaired fresh fame for
himself on the roll of Covsrnon-General of India. It may
fairly be amused that he delayed action until be felt folly
=to act with the greatest advantage to the crown
the millions under his rule.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

PRUSSIA.

At Berlin public attention is occupied at this I
moment with a loan which the government bag just
announced to the Chamber of Deputies, in view of
the part which Prussia must take in the coercive
measures which the Diet his decreed, and of the
complications which may result from them.
The Chamber of Deputies having pronounced by a
recent and decisive vote against the policy adopted
by the cabinet in the affair of the Duchies, it is
generally believed that it will not be disposed
to give its sanction to the loan which is de-
manded to sustain that policy. In this respect
the progreasist party and the moderate liberal
party would combine to inflict a new check on.
M. de Bismark. There is mention of an address
which the two parties intend to present to the
King, urging their common complaints against the
ministerial policy.

AUSTRIA.
THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

We read in the Independance :—" The Vienna
journals are not agreed as to the cause of the
crisis, which public rumour attributes to the affair
of Schleswig•Holstein. It is probable that this
question is only a pretext, and that we must go
back even to the principles which governed the
regeneration of Austria to find the explanation of
the antagonism which exists between the two
chiefs of the Austrian cabinet. M. de Schiller-
ling represents there the constitutional idea,
and at the same time the policy of unity, of
which the patent of Febuary is the expression. M.
de Hochberg is a man of the old traditions of the
multiple policy, of the autonomy of Hungary
preserved in the decree of October. The liberal
party comprehends that the fall of K de Schmer-
ling would be the signal for an energetic reaction
against the new institutions ; it forgets its divisions
to rally round the man who has for three years
guided it in the constitutional path. It is certain
that in the present state of affairs a ministerial
change would indicate also a change of system, not
only in internal affairs, but abio in the general
policy of Austria."

THE WIGWELL GRANGE MURDER.

The learned judge occupied nearly two hours in summing
up, and the jury, after a few minutes' consultation, returned
into court with a verdict of Ouilig.
Amid breathless silence the Clerk of the Arraigns said :
George Victor Townley, you hsve put yourself upon your
country upon the charge of murdeneg Elisabeth Caroline
Goodwie, and they say you are guilty. Have you anything
to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you?
The culprit bowed his bead, and remained silent.
Mr. Baron Martin, whom lips quivered with emotion, put
on the black cap, sod the usual proclamation having been
made, said—George Victor Townl, after everything that
could poesibly be urged in defence"f your crime has been
done with an ability sever excelled, the jury have found
yen guilty of murder, and I am bound to my that in that
verdict I entirely concur, for if the defence that has been
set up in your behalf was allowed to have prevailed, it
seems to me it might have been attended with the most
dimatrous consequences to the country, and if it did he-
once e instilled into the minds of young men that they were
justified in taking away the life of a young woman who
transferred her affections to another, the consequences in.
deed would be dreadful. I have but one duty to perform,
which the law imposes upon me ; my province is purely
ministerial ; it is the law that sentences you, sot I. I
have only to express an earnest hope and prayer that von
will Inks the opportunity of making your peace with God
daring the short time of your stay on earth, Ido not
mean to make any comments on your most painful ace,
but only to pass upon you the sentence which the law pre.
mites for the crime of murder. His lordship, who was
almost inaudible throughout the delivery of bis remarks,
faltered in prononocing the final words and the dread sen-
tence finishing with the words, "and may the Lord have
enemy on your souL"
The scene in the court at this period war most distress-
ing. The miserable criminal, however, bowed to the
learned judge, and left the dock apparently unmoved.
