Tounay.—The grand day of the Houghton Meeting has
been characterised by all the bustle and excitement incident
to greet occasions, and, saving that the batting on the prin-
cipal event was much below the average, may be raid to
have pried off with much ideal. The weather wee favour-
able, and the muster on the heath little, if any, inferior to
the best Cambridgeshire day on remold. The field was the
greatest ever seen, no
:less than thirty-seven horses having
started, and it will be -collected from the hasty sketch of the
race that the favourites, u wee the ease for the Cesarewitch,
were " no where," not one of them having been within four
or five of the winner, who was :so little thought of at the
? luting that 1,000 to 30 went begging. She wee absolutely
friendless ;" the owner and his party, however, had previ-
ously got on a good deal if money at long odds, and have
"landed" a largo stake. The other races made up a fair
amount of sport, but do not call for any observation. We
subjoin} brief return.

Valiant jumped off first, followed by The Widow, Saga-
city, Rufus, Drriades, and the Prior of St. Margaret's,
several others lying well up, but so wide that it is impas-
sible to describe their positions. War Eagle laid near
the centre, and in the rear were Collingwood, Remi-
niscence, and Queen Mary, none of whom got off upon good
terms. Valiant held the lead till near the Duke's Stand,
when the running was talon up by The Widow, War Santa
immediately after getting into the second place, with Cul-
lingwood, Lody Wildair, and Foreclosure in his wake. This
was the order to the end, The Widow maintaining a de-
cided lead, and winning by a couple of lengths, the same be-
tween second and third, and half a length between Coning-
wood and Lady Wildair. Run in 1 min. 58 see.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
More Mr. Commissioner Harris.

PROTECTION CASEA.—CAN A COMMISSIONER AMEND A
Pirrmom ?—ls as H. J. NEWBURN.—This was an ad-
journed cue, and the one in which Mr. Lewis appeared to
oppose the interim order, when it was decided that an attor-
ney could not act in the capacity of an advocate. The act
provides that all disbursements made within a certain period
shall be set forth in the insolvent's petition for protection,
and if the provision of the act be not coropli. d with that the
Petition be dismissed forthwith. In this case, it appeared
from the schedule that the insolvent had omitted to specify
in his petition a sum of 51. which he had paid to his attorney.
It further appeared that the itrelvent had stated the
amount of his property available (or the benefit
of his creditors to be 193/., whereas by the
estate paper attached to the schedule, the 193/. was reduced
to LW. only; and It was therein set forth that even that sum
was encumbered with a debt due to the insolvent's landlord.
—Mr. Dowse, for the opposition, applied for the petition to
be dismissed ; and, is support of the first grounds of opposi-
tion, cited the 7 & 8 Vic., cap. 99, which directs that the
petition mast be dismissed, if it be not drawn up according
to the act.—The learned Commissioner, having consulted
with a brother commiuioner, was of opinion that the omis-
'ion of the SI. paid to the attorney was fatal to the petition,
and it would be dismissed on that ground; but added, that
the insolvent might file another petition, when an order for
his protection would be granted.—The court reserved its
opinion on the other point mail the final hearing.
