TILE RECENT MEETINGS OF CONFEDERATES IN
MANCHESTER and the neighbourhood have put the authori-
ties of Manchester in commoti,n, and fully awakened them
to the naceuity of being ready for an eni.rgeney. The con-
federates apps ar to be elated by what they regard as a most
successful experithent, and it appears to be apprehended that
these simulteueous meetings are to be renewed on the recep-
tion of nese of any outbreak in Ireland, as a diversion to
keep the troops in Eneland ; and, ening on this informa-
tion, the magistrates were in deliberation yesterday as to
preventive measures. The military force is unusually
strong in garrison at this moment, aril hisides the troops
I and the pensioners, a large body of special constables
are under notice to attend at a short summons. The regular
palice force wu also ordered yesterday to he increased by 200
men (nearly one calf more); and in conformi.y with orders
from Lieutenant General Sir T. Aetna:snot, an t the magis-
trates, • great portion of the garrison are to come out of
barracks, and will be immediately posted in convenient and
central parts of the city. A large military time is to occupy
Ti.,.strect workhouse, in the very heart of Manchester, and
other strong guards are to be placed in unoccupied mills and
warehouses, which were being enraged yesterday for their

BARTON, IRLAR, AND AIPTAIRS.—•
LIVERPOOL DISTRICT COURT OF BANKETPTCIN—Yesterday
the ease arising out of the insolvent affairs of them merchants,
which has so frequently been previously before the court,
was again further proceeded with, before Mr. Serjeaat
Lt.dlow. The present hearing had been filed, in order to
enable Mr. Deane, one of the firm of Barton. Irlam, and
Higginson, to proceed to and return from Barbadoes, on
mitten connected with the bankruptcy.—Mr. Holland, a
solicitor, appeared for Mr. Hinds, a creditor to the bankrupts'
estate to the amount of 50,0001, and eubjected Mr.
Jonathan Higginson to a severe scrutiny of the
affairs of the concern, in an examir.ation of seve-
ral hours' duration. In answer to the questions put,
Mr. Higginson said he had had since the year 1844 various
railway transactions, both in receiving allctinents of shares
and purchasing shares in the markets, a. el these transactions
were enter. d into on his own account, but he had put them
into the joint balance sheet as the property to represent the
money taken from the joint concern to ply tor the same, and
there did not appear any entry of these shares in
the books of the juiut cone. ra ; neithn in any
other book, notwithetanding that the transactions
on there. amounted to upwards of 110,0001. Them
stares were principally paid for in cash and bank notes,
but there might have bee., some few cheques given, and the
money so paid belonged part to himself and part to the
house of which he was a partner, and the cheques were
those of the partnership.—Mr. Holland then objected to the
bankrupt, Mr. Wane, passing his examination, on the
ground that his balance-sheet was not regular, not being
signed. The solicitor fur the I.ankru pt coatended
that the amended balaace.sheet was incorporated.
with the original balance-sheet, which was signed.
T,.e bankrupt, Mr. Jonathan Hiegineon, was next examined
by Mr. Holland in ref, renee to his transactions with Mr.
Hinds, of Barbsdoes, and, in answer to questions pus, he
stated that in June, 1844, he received from Mr. Hinds a
consignment of sugars amounting to 70,0001, and setae-
quently a letter from Mr. Hinds, advising him nut to dis-
pose of the sugars until he received further instructions.
On the 15th of July be pledged there sugars to Messrs-
Littledale and Co., of Live rpool, for 30.0001., and in
August he got a further advance, making the sum
of 40,0001. The advances were obtained by bills,
which bills were paid into use Royal Bank tJ the
credit of the bankrupts. At the time them advances
were made, the bankrup,a were hide ate,d to Mr. Hinds
in the amount of the 50,0001. for =ill they wrre now
opposed. The bankrupt was then erznined as to the state
of his affairs at the time the sugars were pledged, end he
stated that the firm, fur anything be knew to the contrary,
were solvent. He was also examined as to his Manmade=
in cotton, the funds, and other spaculatiens, which in his
balance-sheet he had returned ar. being his individual and
private transactions. The several payments upon these
transactions, it appeared, had been made from the beak,
I rum private sources, and comet :roe, from the joint feria, the lia-
bilities of which at the time of the bankruptcy were 1,460,0001...
Mr. Holland said he .sighed, with the permission of fae
court, to call particular at'.ention to the cue of his diem,
which was an etceediney hard one. Mr. Jonathan ',lig-
gineon said he din not recollect having received a tette r or-
dering him not to sell without notice, but the bankrupt's ex-
amination that day, proved that he received 80 lands. of
sugar about the Bth or 10th of Jeme, and on the 16th
July follove.ng he pledged them for 30,0001., and
on the 3Pdls of the same nionth received a further
advance, increasing the ,;mount to 40,0001., owing
Mr. Rends at the 50.0001. He (Mr. Hollan,',)
subeetted that a move flagrant breach of the condir:,o,ns
of the !actors act ne'eer before came into a court, for 'we the
of Mr. Higgir,son in his transactions be had rendered
himself liable to 14 years' transportation as clearly as ever
man did, and his client, had he chosen so to Peeve done, could
have proceeded against him in a criminal. prosecution ; and
he was sure, when his Honour was called upon to judge he
would so treat the case as to show that Mr. Higginson bad
not only misoonducted Waged in thin apcculatioas, bye tad

h

t

rendered hinnell liable to a prosecution by which • whint,.
of transient den might bare been impend. He telt sure
bin inflow w uhl not forget such conduct at the tune the
bankrupt applied fir his eertiti ate, se ht. (Mr. Hlland)
sh,ul.l not put his client to further expense in appearing
again before the court.— His Honour did out think t .e pre-
sent apiorter time to go into the complaint —Atter some ob.
serrations by Mr. Lowniica nl ttiee to the case of the bank-
rupt. Mr. Deane, the examination was adjsur•ssi to th.. 6th
of Si. ember, in order that the accounts turiiishctl migid be
amended.

ARCHAOLOGICAL Is sTITeTY. AT LINCOLN.—On
Wednestay afternoon, Professor Willis accompanied a perty
of memb n of this institute over the cathedral, pointing out
the pens which yet remained of the old N.,rnian church,
built by Reiniguis. More than once he alluded to the state
of the chapels iu various parts of the cathedral, which he sig-
nificantly aid appropriately described as dirt nein, and sug-
gested that they should be cleaned and kept in a decent
state. In tit, evening a seetionnt meeting on Early and
Medimvel tiquiti's was held in the County Assembly-
rooms, Lard Mon-on in the chair, where a lecture
upon Runic ice Tinder s was delivered by
Reni‘sle, Esq., secretary to the English Historical Society.
Yesterday ( 1 hundev) several members went upon an ex-
cursion to visit the old church at Stowe. Part of [his church
consist, of the remains of an old cathedral, Stowe having
been a Rumen hish:pric, and the remains of tho pule( e (a i:h
a moat round the dwelling) aro yet in existence. At
Gainsh;rough, the old hall was the object of the visit. It is
an xtensive structure, with fine gothic windows and door-
ways. The building is very ancient. Allred the Great
stopped none time at the castle, in it was then termed, on
the occasion of his marriae with lswitb, the daughter
of Ethelred. Here Sweyne died, and his son and sums:or,
Canute, for some time held his court. Turkey Castle, on the
banks of the Trent, was visited by the archarologites on their
return. It was one of the many dwellings which John of
Gaunt had in this part of the country, and is now a very
rtmerk gbh- and picturesque ruin. Several me otters have
staid away from t! e excursion to be present at the agricul-
tural meeting which was held yesterday at Lincoln.
