all the circumstances of the case, 1 cannot say that M. Jul-
lien is responsible for those misfortu,,es. It is nut im-
probable that the whole of M. Jollities property will
be divided between Mr. the attorney, and Mr. Levi,
the sherifre officer. But that M. Jullieres fault? It
appears to me that it is the Fault of the creditors themselves;
they had it iu their power to have pursued a different course
and they chose to pursue the course they did. The practical
result is, that there is, in the present state of &figure, nothing
for them. I hope and trust that the assignees will be ad-

dittos. Whether it is so or not, I feel that the justice of this
case ie, that the misfortune, whatever it is, ought not to fall
upon M. Jullien. I feel that ids conduct, hom the oath
mencement to the conclusi m, has been the conduct of in
honest man, a.tlious to do everything he could for his
creditors; and I feel, there& re, that he is entitled to his certi
cats. I will only say that 1 shell undoubtedly grant M.
Jullien his certificate at •otte ; whether it shall be with or
without a condition, I will reserve that point for subsequent

consideration.
Mr. Chapple said he oupbt, perhaps, to address some ob-
servations to the court on that point. He believed that the
prospects of M. Jullien woad be seriously injured by the
circumstance of his having had. to come before this court.
The Commissioner said he had understood sl. Jullien to
express that tear himself, but he did net think then was any
such feeling in this country.
Mr Chapp'e said the iffect hitherto had been seriously
to affect his proeoects. His engagement at the Zoological
, Hardens terminated that ray and he had no present pros-
pect of any other engagement. Doubts were entertained
whether the contract between M. Jullien and Mr. Lewis for
the assignment of the annuity had not been broken ; and in
that case Messrs. Chappell and Beale might resist the
making over of the annuity of 7001. a year to him. At any
rate, if it were not so, it was doubtful whether there was
any probability of his earning an income at all commensa-
-1 rate with what he lad hitherto done.
The Commissioner; I will tura the matter over in my
mind, and will dot, rmine ou Saturday morning whether I.
will or will not attach any condition to the ct nano .te.

Macnamara, a ao'i. itor, said tt at he attended on behalf of
twelve prisoners in the custody of the officers of the F divi-
sion, and resit', sled to know the precise ti • cher might bet
placed at the bar and also to be made acquainted with the It
nature of the charge against each of them, in order
that he might be enabled to frame she defence for them.— 13
Mr. Hall replied that ha could give so in creation upon it
the subject, his knowledge being confined to the fact that a r,
umber of charade who had been apprehended in different so
WOO town were still in the hands of the police awl rine', 6
M whom he should apply, as their professional adviser, for
say facility he required to confer with them ; upon which he in'
left the court for that purpose.—About three o'clock the tO
prison van drove up from the station in King-street, West- q.
minter,containing eighteen prisoners, several of whom were
mere youths and whose general appearance was wretched in
the extreme. It was guarded by the principal officers of the
A, B, and L divisions, who brought with them a great num-
ber of pikes. cutlasses, bludgeons of a peculiar description,
and other deadly weapons, witch were found upon the pri,
soners.—As stated in another column, the megistrate pat-
posed the hearing of the charges against the prisonere till
this (Friday) morning at 11 o'clock.

MONEY MARKET.
TRUUSDAY EVENING.
The report, which for some days past had obtained
currency, of an intention at the Bank of England to
raise the minimum rate of interest at the weekly
board to-day has not been justified by the event. The
directors met as usual, but made no change. The re-
port was doubtless grounded on the greater demand
tor money which sprang up last week, and is still
experienced, as possibly the next Bank returns may
show. The unpromising state of the weather for har-
vest operations of late, and the increasing probability
of large importations to make up for deficit nt home
products, assisted in creating the belief that the Bank
most necessarily be in great haste to prepare by the
requisite measures for the extensive calls which, in
such case, could not fail to be made upon
its gold reserves for exportation. It would, however,
manifest much ill-judged precipitation and indiscre-
tion iu the management of a vest establishment to go
to work upon mere hypothesis only, for although ap-
pearances fur some few days had told adversely for the
prospect of crops, yet, with the exception of potatoes,
they amounted to nothing stronger than possibilities,
or, at worst, to probabilities of ill omen. The accounts
from all parts of the country day by day would appear
now to show that less damage has been done hitherto,
on average, by the heavy rains than was anticipated ;
whilst from some counties and districts the reports
come far from unfavourable.
The fht.tu Lions in the finds were not of considera-
tion to-day, and generally the business was only of
the jobbing kind. Consols were sold as low as 851,
and °ought up t 86,1, when it was ascertained that
the Bank Board had adjourned, leaving the rate of in-
terest untouched. They left off 85 to 6 for money,
and 86 fur account, which were about the ruling quo-
tations of the day. Reduced Threes, 86 to 1. Three-

The successes of the Austrian arms in Italy_ have
caused an active demand for Austrian stocks at Frank.:
fort, Berlin, and other continental markets, and a rise
in prices, on the presumption that the event muetlead
to negotiations and the conclusion of peace.
