gelling from the police. Several prisoners have been taken.
After nine o'clock the police met with one of the most pro-
vidential aids towards suppressing a Manchester mob—a
beery, drenching shower of rain. Our correspondent,
writing last evening. " Five o'clock," says, " The weather
cleared up about 12 o'clock, and since that time some han-
dl+ ds of people have collected at New Cross, und stones have
been thrown at the police, and a few windows have been
broken. Still there is now little apparent prospect of any
further rising, which the police, having had time to organise
and complete their plum. P prepared to crush very
promptly. I believe there never was a mob with which the
working people here, generally, have had so little sympathy,
and hence it is leo feared by the public than any prcrious
outbreak."

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr. Commissioner Fonbiateaue.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Rob, rt Brown, of Sutherland-
terrace, Brixton, victualler, appeared to pass his last examin-
ation. The meeting was also one for the choice of assig-
nees.—Mr. Bagley said be was instructed to oppose the pass-
ing of the bankrupt's accounts ' • but prob..bly the most con-
venient course would be to allow the choice of assignees to ,
be made, and sojourn the last examination, in order that ,
the bankrupt's affairs might be thoroughly looked into.—
Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said there had been already
three meetings; the creditors had had full opportunity of
looking into the accounts, which were as complete as the
bankrupt could render them. He had carried on an exten-
sive business for five years, as proprietor of the Dr. Johnson
Tavern, Bolt-court, Fleet-street, in which business he had
embarked a capital of 2,5001., and had made a profit of up-
wards of 8,3001., but, having undermken the management of
Vauxhall Gardens, the speculation had been a most unfor-
tunate one. The bankrupt's debts are 1,1721., and his esti-
mated assets, 2121. His trade expenses were put down at
8,3071.; domestic and personal expenses, 1,1751. • lasses,
3,816/. The official 10,11:ence reported that his books were
very indifferent. He had kept an account of his raceipts at
the Dr. Johnson Tavern, which amounted to 18,6381.. and
the profits, 8,3131., were estimated on that amount,
The loss on the minagement of Vauxhall Gardena was put
down at 1,6591., and was in some measure supported by his
banker's book. Loosing at the large amount of money
which the bankrupt had had, and the imperfect account of
the way in which it had been disposed of, the official assianee
was of opinion that the accounts were not satisfactory. Ulti-
mately, Mr. Little, cheeeemenger, was appointed trade
assignee, and the last examination was adjourned for a
month.
