TO ABIDE RESULT OF TBIAL.-ThiT wu the petition
of the bankrupt to have the fiat annulled, and to
have the advertisement stayed in the meantime. We

omit the name, as the court decided that the bank-
ruptcy was not to be advertised. The petitioner
admitted the trading and the petitioning creditor's
debt ; and the only question was as to an act of bankruptcy
haying been committed. The act of bankruptcy relied upon
in support of the flat was an alleged fraudulent return of
goods of the value of 121. 6i., in contemplation of bankruptcy.
In support of the petition it w: a stated goods had been sent
to the bankrupt to the amount of 801., upon an agreement
for sale or return. It was stated that the traveller for the
house supplying the goods, on again visiting the town, to
which they had been sent, found the bankrupt in difficulties
and I,reseed for and obtained a return of the portion in
question of the goods. Mr. Swanston and Mr. Daniel for

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The magistrates of the county of Middlesex met yesterday
for the purpose of renewing licenses for music and dancing.
There were sixty-three kiplicants for renewals of licenses,
and nine petitions laid before the court, praying the bench
to grant licenses for music and dancing to houses which were
not licensed last year. Almost all these licences, the ma-
gistrates, acting on private information, refused to grant ;
although one of them was recommended by two magi-
strates, both of whom were near neighbours, and others
were recommended by several magistrates, when applying
for other I:censes. Among the houses which obtained a
renewal of license were the following:—Thomas Martin,
" The Hanover-square Rooms ;" Sir Thomas Baring, Bart.,
Henry Pownall, Esq., and Archdale Palmer, Esq., "Easter
Hall; William Berry, "The York and Albany Tavern and
Tea Gardens," Regent's-park ; Thomas Rouse, ' The Eagle
Tavern," City-road; Edward Gomersall, "The Garrick
Theatre," Goodman's-fields ; Robert Wornam, "Music
Hall," Bedford-square; Richard Rouse, "White Conduit
House;" William Allen, "The Yorkshire Stingo," New-
road; Ralph T. Fellows, "Archery Grounds," Bathurst-
street ; Peter Snow, " Lord's Cricket Ground ;" Henry
Bradine, " The Royal Standard," City-road ; Samuel Thoro-
good, "Assembly House," Kentish-town ; James Hedgman,
"National Baths," High Holborn ' • Charles Brown, " Albion
Hall ;" John Turner, " Princess Concert Room," Oxford-
street; James Ellis, "The Stadium," Cremorne House;

master, " The Swan Tavern and Lord Dover's Hotel," Hun-
gerford-market.

showing a gross increase upon the 9 months of 110,0661.
This is encouruging, not so much for the gross amount
received (which is leas than iu the corresponding period
of 1814), or the surplus over lost year, but from the
circumstances under which it has accrued. It shows
us that whatever blows the customs' revenue of tho
kingdom may receive from changes in our econo-
mical system, there is a healthy vitality in the com-
merce of this port which enables us to rally from the shuck.
Thus, in 181.,, we Wand the year's receipts et our Custom-
house reduced from 4,487,064 t—the previous year's re.
ceipta—to 3,413,1121., showing a deficiency on the year of
1,034,552/. This was accounted for by the Tariff reductions,
including 609,0001., as the loss on cotton, in the port of
Liverpool alone. We have this year had further reductions
of important duties; yet we are steadily regaining our posi-
tion ; and fully anticipate in a very few years to gain our
original revenue productiveness.

WALES.

IMMENSE CoNrftscr ron IRON.—There i an accredited
rumour here, says the Heretbrd Times, that Sir John Guest,
Bart., 'Jowled' Ironworks, has just completed a contract to
supply 200,000 tons of iron rails, at 10!. per ton—the total
value of which will be two millions sterling. The same iron
three or four years ago would have been sold from 51. to 61.
per ton.
EMPLOYMENT OF FEMALES UNDERGROUND AT ABER
GATENNT.-C. Charles was charged with having, on the
14th of last August, two females at work underground, in
his employ, in a level called Level Braith, in the parish of
Aberyotruth. Mr. Oabb appeared to support the informs,
tion, and Mr. Baker appeared on the part of defendant.
The evidence, however, failed in Sting the ownership of the
mine, or the reel party who put the women to work, and the
case as therefore dismissed.—Mr. Gabb made an application
Ito the Court to adjourn the hearing of a case, Taylor v.
Hayward, until that day fortnight. The case, he stated,
was for employing women underground in the Blacnavon
Works, in the pariah of Llanwenarth, and his wish for a
postponement was in order that he might be enabled to pro-
duce his witnesses, who had been summoned to attend, but
had failed to do so.

CATTLE, &e.
SMITHFIELD, Two o'rbek.—The number of Bouts
to-day is large, owing to a considerable arrival of foreign
since Monday ; these, however, aro of very inferior quality,
which indeed may be truly said of the general character of
this day's supply. The very best Scots, of which description
we have very few on offer, fuUy maintain our late quotations,
4s. 4d. being pretty generally obtained for them, and the
most selling Short Rona make about 4.. The second rate
qualities are most plentiful, and a clearance of them cannot
be effected, although a reduction in some instances of ad. per
Sibs. is submitted to. We have nearly 400 from Holland
and Germany, 40 from Scotland, nearly 400 Lincoln. and
Lciceslers, and about 200 from the neighbourhood of London.
The Sheep trade begins to assume an almost unimportant
feature of our Friday's market, which is usual about this
time of year, the supply being so small, and the demand solimited. The rely high price of provisions this year gives
perhaps a little more lifo to our proceedings, still the trade
to-day is exceedingly dull, and lower prices are taken fur all
descriptions, as our tabular statement will show. We have
about GOO from Rolland ann Germany. Calves are plentiful,
and trade very heavy; it is difficult to make 4.. Bd. of a very
choice one. Second cute qualities arc very unsaleable. The
supply of Pigs continues to be abundant; trade is heavy, the
weather not being very favourable.

HUDDERSFIELD, DEC. I.—Again we have to report
a quiet market, but severe weather having set in we hope
shortly to have to report more favourably. Prices cannot re-
cede, inasmuch as the raw material cannot be procured for
less prices.

WOOL.

HUDDERSFIELD, DEC. I.—There Is very little doing
in this branck of business, but the prices now obtaining at
the public Wool sales will have the effect of giving a firmer
and more decided tone to the local Wool markets. The
prices for fine new South Wales Wool may be considered
higher than for some time past. This particularly refers to
the public Wool sales in the Hall of Commerce.

A COAL-NT ON FIKR.—On Wednesday, as the miners in
the employ of Mr. J. King, of the ratrieroft Colliery, were
preparing to descend the pit to commence their morning's
work, they discovered that from some cause or other the pit
was on tire. On descceoling the shaft it was aecertAtied
that the lire was not very alarming, although, but for the
prompt steps token to stop its progress, it would soon have
spread to a cons.den.ble and disastrous extent.

Liverpeel Mercury, John Ferguson was tried before the
Recorder for burning Mary Cuhbin with a hot iron, from
the cellar of a workshop in South Castle street. Ile was
found guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of 31. It will be
recollected that, at the last session, Robert Jeffrey was tried
fur this offence, and found guilty of aiding out alketting,,
although Ferguson and the other parties who actually com-
mitted the act, swore that he wu not at all a party con-
eerned. The Recorder sentenced Jeffrey to pay a fine of la,
hut the man who really (lid the act, and acknowledged that
Jeffrey knew nothing whatever of the transaction, is h t off
with a fine of 31. "It is strange," writes the local editor,

r H. Prince Albert had condescended to become a meaner
of the Association, and had that day gone through the various
sections, and evinced a lively interest in their proceedings,
and a considerable knowledge of the different branches of
science they cultivated. He wan happy also to tell them, that
her Majesty, who had arrived in the port an hour and a half
ago, and had gone back with the Prince, had desired hint to
express the great interest she felt in the Association, and the
satisfaction with which she had received the report of its
progress. (Cheers). Her Majesty had also desired to be
tumbled with periodical reports of the proceedings and
progress of the Association. (Cheers). A more practical,
proof of membership on the part of royalty than he had
mentioned perhaps Mr. Taylor would communicate to them.
Mr. Tsvitha then stated that Colonel Anson bad an-
nounced that his Royal Highness Prince Albert desired to
present to the Association 10U1.—(cheers)—and that without
in any way directing the purpose to which it should be
applied, as it was his wish to convey to them his entire
approbation of their proceedings. (Much cheering.)
An invitation from the kthinolean Society of Oxford, for
the Association to hold their next annual meeting at that
town, WAS read and advocated by l'rofessur Walker. Mr.
Grove advanced the claims of Swansea for the year 1848, and'
Dr. Robinson those of Belfast, for some future year. After
some conversation, the invitation from Oxford was accepted.

COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
The Bank of England averages for the week ending
the 28th alt., show the following differences on comparison
with the previous weekly return I—ln the department of
issue, a decrease of notes of 4,2951., the amount out from
that department being, at the last date, 28,313,5451. In the
banking department, an increase in the reserve of notes of
215,8501., and a decrease of active circulation to the extent of
220,1451. ; the average of notes out among the public being
reduced to 19,987,8001. Public deposits were increased by
571,1701., the gross average being 8,447,5601. Private
deposits increased by 43,333/. ; the gross average
8,018,3911. Government securities in banking depart-
ment
as before. In " other" securities" an increase of
209,1471. the average amount en hand, 13,562,8221. In
coin and bullion, increase 84,3601.; the average held,
15,008,1321. In 7-day and other bills, decrease 98,1291. ; the
average, 892,355/. In the rest, decrease 2,7221. ; the average,
3,479,9671.
These returns present no differences of particular import-
ance on collation with the previous returns. But it may be
gathered from the state of the deposit account, still so largely
in increase, with coin and bullion also in excess, that
the policy of the bank was becoming rather mere
restrictive. For whilst the aggregate of public and private
deposits had placed the Bank more in funds by nearly
700,0001., the " other" securities. in which the larger portion
of such excess is usually placed for fructification by interest
and discounts, had received an addition of only 209,1471.
Two .'Clock.—We have had a quiet market in the funds,
with a slight improvement in Consols. They are now quoted
(this being the hour of closing on Saturdays), 951 to 1
money, and 951 to 1 for time. They have touched 951,
buyers for time however. Exchequer Bills, 7s. to 115. prem.
There is no alteration to notice in the foreign market ex-
cept in Mexican, which are now called 221 to ; and Portu-
guese, 381 to 91. Spanish Fives, 261 to 1; the Threes, 371
