COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-TESTERDAY.
Ma. Coaimennuawa UGLIWYD.
IN HZ Q. FgANKS
. .

The bankrupt, a surgeon and a:;tVecory, of Biackfriars.
road, applied tor his certificate. Ii a aesecured debts were
1,9•2!1.; liabtlitirs, 1,2291.; the meets were put down at
6701.; property. held by creditors, 4291. The bankrupt re-
presentsd hiraselt as having a capital of 1,1701. on the Ist of
18d0; his profits in the intervening period had
been 4,46,11.; trade expenses, 1,4921.; expenses of advertis-
ing a medicine of which be wa. the proprietor, 1,79'.11.; do-
mestic and personal expenses, 2,6931.; losses, 7741.
Mt. Lawrence, in support of the bankrupt's application,
stated that no opposition was GOMA by the assigne,s or by
any creditor. It was probable the liabiiitiss would not be
proved against the estate. The hooks were unusually well
kept for a prefeseionel man; and the balance she. was
fully vouched. The large amount expended (.r advertis-
ing bao been necessary iu cocsiquence of a spurious imi•
Wien of an article in which the bankrupt had dealt.
The capital and the profit. equalled the expenditure ; but
the failure had been brought about by an unfortunal: specu-
lation in a cab cempany, wnich the bankrupt had joined,
and had become liable for thsir debts. Ile hoped to re-
ceive a first-class certifi,.ate. _ _

_ .....
His Honour said the bankruptcy had not arisen wholly
from unavoidable circumstances. When he joined the cah
company he must hate known that he rendered himself
liable for all their d bts ; he had besides lout his name to
bills on their account amounting to 1,2591. The court
would, however, grant an immediate certificate of the
second chic

Mr. Lawrence spilled for a return of C:e fees paid by the
bankrupt, which was granted.

PESHAWUR.

The road to Kobel is spin unsafe. Kamm Kkan plays
the double game. He gets some thousands rupees from the
Peshawur authorities for keeping the road open and safe,
while he secretly advises the " Afredees " to disturb the
place continually. He divides the money and tells them if
the road is sure permanently, the British will not care to
pay him.—Deloti Gazelle. August 13.

young bans were produced, at tint in almost an inanimate
state, but very shortly respiration was observed, and a
basket with some soft hay having been proctored, the little
strangers were conveyed to his lordship's residence, and
supplied with warm milk from a cow, given through a
baby's tube. They are still alive and thriving under special
attention.

EGYPT.

A letter from Alexandria of the 20th instant fur-
nishes particulars respecting the late prohibition to
export wheat, maize, barley, and beans from that
port. The step was communicated to the European
Consuls at Alexandria by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, who came from Cairo for the purpose on the
16th, and was to take effect on the 28th ; the scan-
tiness of the crops being alleged as its ground.
Mr. J. Green, Consul and acting Consul-General
of Great Britain, immediately on the receipt of the
intelligence convened a meeting of the British mer-
chants, to advise as to the best steps to be taken
under the circumstances, and the next day at a meet-
ing of the Consuls it was determined to address the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, with a request to defer
the prohibition until the 30th November at least, in
order that they may have some time to prepare to
meet their engagements. The minister gave them
to understand that they might consider this request
as granted, although the Viceroy had left Cairo, and
he could not just now communicate with him.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Our correspondent says:
CONt3TANTINOPLE, Barr. 16.
" I am assured that pesos will be maintained, and
it was only yesterday that Lord de Redeliffe spoke
at a diplomatic dinner to the same effect. To us
these assurances seem to be confirmed by the pre.
sence of two French and two English frigates, now
in the Bosphorus. Were there no peace, it is ar-
gued, the fad of itself would be a corm belli as viola-
ting existing treaties. Perhaps you are in a position
to arrive at a more accurate conclusion. It was the
firstsecretary to the French ambassador who took
the order to Besika Bay after the mutual agreement
of all the powers. GenerallT it is said that this step
was taken to prevent any evil consequences from the
fanatic enthusiasm of the people upon the official
proclamation of peace, which many expect here day
by day. But possibly you in London may hear it as
soon as ourselves."

The Journal de Constantinople of the 14th says :
" The Ajaccio, French packet boat, of this station,
left on Satu.rday night for Besika, having on board
M. Benedetti, First Secretary of the French Em-
bassy, and Captain Higault. This steamer returned
on the morning of the 13th, and cast anchor at
Therabia. This morning two French steam frigates,'
the Mogadore and the Magellan, arrived from
Besika. The Magellan went on towards Theralia.
The Mogadore cast anchor at Dolma-Bagtche.
This morning (14th) an English screw steam cor-
vette, the Niger, Captain Heath, arrived from Besika,
and yesterday the Tiger."
On the 13th inst. the Kourban Baimm—the festi-
val which succeeds the seasonof fasting—was ushered
in by salvos of artillery from every Turkish man-of-
war, and from the different forts in the Bosphorus.
At a very early hour in the morning the Sultan
issued from his palace of Top Kapou, clothed in his
imperial costume, having on his head a fez richly
ornamented with diamonds, and surmounted by the
white plumes of the egret. He was surrounded by
all the dignitaries of the empire, and followed by
every grade of officer, civil and military, in their
official uniforms, The cortege between files
of soldiers to the sound of miriTreydmusic, and en-
tered the mosque of Sultan Ahmet. After certain
religious ceremonies the Sultan and his suite re-
turned to the palace, where his Majesty took his
seat on the throne. Each officer of the empire
within a certain rank prostrated himself to the
earth, and kissed the foot of his Sovereign, this

BAHAWULPOOR.

The Lahore Chronicle of the 30th July this; writes
of the state of matters in this provisos :

cution. The affairs of the state are, of coarse, brought to
a dead lock by such proceedings, sad we may soon espret to

MR. LUCAS, iI.P., oV Till PROTESTANT
FERSIO.V OF Till SPRIPTURES.

'I he hon. member for Westmeath thus comments
on the rev nt scene in the Dublin Revision Court, in which
a It man Catholic priest penisted in relating to be sworn
on the Protestant version of the Bible :
Lot every man speak for himself. I am not ter-
tMo,y s!sniting up in any ef her Majesty's c,urts of
law, but here. in the press, speaking in my owc proper
person, I deviant that Ido not believe that volume to be
slued; that I ,lo believe it to be false, and that whether
it is sushorised by law—u were not so very long ago the
Issuing, ernbows Bing, mutilating, robbing, and tarturing
of Catholic priest. and laymen,—whether it is the version on
which the Queen (God Meatier !) his taken her coronation
oath. or when. r this Protestant nation believes it to be
the Word of God—all these things are a matter of the
pur:st Ind simplest indifference to me. I revs nue the
Queen, but I am not bound to hold her Majesty's of iniocs
upon toe S -raptures, upon any matter ef religion, or upon
any other matters saving those .sigh concern ray duties
as a good citizen; and as to the- authority of law in
nth a matter, an I the belief of this Protestant nation, they
truly—as the laws now stand, and as this Protestant nation
now shows itself—are grounds, not of simple indifference,
but of a strong prima facie presumption against anything
which th-v propose to me on each a subject. I do r eeeee nee '
the Iloly Scriptures; I hold them to be the Word of God.
go it ces every Catholic. But for the Protestant Scriptures,'
—the Protestant version—l believe them to be, and to have
been, made designedly false, mutilated, and corrupt. In
one word, as it was in the beginning so it is now, and so
will ever tie. W• receive the Scriptures from the church.
and to as nothing is the Scripture, nothing Is the
word of God, except that which comes to us stamped
with her authority. Ycurs, on the contrary, come
to us stamped with the chnrch's disappro' otion, and
by her aultority condemned; •nd, knowing this, you
have the • insolence,' the • audacity,' or let me rather
hope, the thoughtlessness, to ask us and to try to com-
pel us to make, what you intend, a solemn act of wor-
ship upon a book which you know, unless you are strangely
ignorant, that we religiously condemn. Vi hen the question
is raised in this formal way before the whole empire, and
we are told without any circumlocution whatever that in
hewing the Protestant Testament we profess our belief in it
as the true Scripture of God, I, for one, solemnly demise.
my intention never again to take an oath without carefully
*Ramming the book upon which I am asked to swear, and
reject:nit the book if I find it nut to be my authorized ver-
sion fa. the Scriptures—that is, the copy authorized by the

RUSSIA.

Two new ukases from St. Petersburg, exhibit the
Czar stooping to particularise and apply his system
of repressing intelligence, of whatever kind, in
whatever shape. According to one of these none but
natives can be preachers or schoolmasters in Po-
land. Music-masters, teachers of languages, tutors,
governesses, where they are permitted at all, will be
so under the title of daniestics. The second decree
orders, that, besides the censorship, to which every
literary work intended for publication in Russia is
subjected before printing, a second examination by
the censors shall take place between the printing and
the publication.
On the 22nd ult. Random, Krotinus, the smuggler,
condemned to receive nine thousand blows with a
rod, and three other delinquents, condemned to six
thousand each, suffered their punishment on the plain
of Tauroffen. A large military force was drawn up
to witness the execution. The arrangement was that
the punishment should be distributed to each in
three thousand strokes a day. Krotinus having re-
ceived his three thousand died ; two of the others ex-

pitted before that number of blintits had been inflicted
and the fourth sank on the morrow. Tho punishment
of death is abolished in Russia.

TURKEY.

A telegraphic despatch from Trieste brings intelli-
gence from Constantinople to the Ist of January.
The ea-Grand Vizier Reschid Pacha, and the late
director of the customs, Djezaerli, have been ba-
nished from Turkey. Reschid Pacha had appealed
to the Sultana Vali(le to intercede in his favour for a
remission of his sentence, but it has not transpired
whether the appeal has been successful.
The precautions taken to prevent access to the
Sultan seem to indicate that those about the Sove-
reign fear or pretend to fear some machination.
Henceforth the Sultana Valide, the Grand Vizier,
the Kapou-Kiaija, and Tazim Bey, the favourite, will
alone have access to the palace of Abdul-Medjid.
The Russian envoy, M. de Ozerott; has addressed
to the Divan a protest against the concessions made
to the Latins in the question of the Holy Sepulchres.

6 corvettes, 8 brigs of the first class, 3 of the second, I gal-
liot brigs, 10 schooners, 8 transports, 29 steamers, and 102
miner vessels—in all 178. The navy estimates for 1852
amount to 8.),150,570 reale; but that sum does net include
the cost of maintaining the naval stAtions at Cuba and the
Philippine Islands, which is paid by those colonies.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A communie7tiOiiTr;rma; to the sitting magistrate re-
lative to a public meeting called by lame fereizaers for
Sunday evening at the Hanover square rooms, it being
considered that such meetings, even though for charitable
purposes—the proposed meeting had, as alleged, such a
purpose in ♦iew—involved a desecration of the Sahbath.
The magistrate was subsequently waited upon by the pro-
prietor of the rooms and by Mr. Superintendent Otwsy,
and after some explanation it was understood that the
matter was to be considered more as an affair of police than
as a question calling for magisterial interference.

ITALY.

A letter from Milan of the Bth, in the °pitdone of
Turin, states that a Piedmonteso o.; cer, named Ito-
polo, having been insulted by an Austrian officer in
the theatre of La Scala at -Milan, called him out ;
but that his aggressor, instead of complying, gave
him into custody, and had him before the commissary
of police, where the Piedmontese officer, after having
to submit to farther provocations from the other, re-
ceived orders to quit the state immediately. But the
other officers of the Austrian regiment to which the
aggressor belonged, being indignant at his beha-
viour, insisted upon his being put under arrest, and
he will probably be obliged to leave the service. It
is believed, however, that the matter will not rest
there.

In the speech addressed by General Gemeau to the
Pope on New Year's Day, when presenting the
officers of the French army of occupation, the gene-
ral thus spoke of recent events in the history of his
country : ' France, led captive by the Spirit of Evil,
was marching to an abyss. The elect of Providence
was revealed, and France knew him. Then it was
_ _

that God paid to France the debt of his church. It
is our joy, holy father, to believe, that we owe this
miraculous benefit in an especial manner to your
prayers in favour of a country so proud of the aid
it has been able to render and yet renders to the holy
see."

PLIENTIuN OF TILE AFRICA.

LIVERPOOL, F!LIDAY.

Considerable excitement was produced on 'Change
th'.4 morning by a despatch received by the Post-
ina.eer here, directing him to detain the Cunard
wail steam ship Africa, advertised to sail, as usual,
toluoirow. The order for detention came from the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; and no rea-
son has been assigned for the step. Of course,
rumour assigns several reasons: amongst others, that
i; was detained for the purpose of sending despatches
sanounting the settlement of the fisheries dispute, or
that it was the decision of the new Cabinet on the
Canadian Clergy Reserve Bill, while several believed
it was iestrociwns to the British Consul at Cuba
re.ardin; the confinement of British subjects in
ailistry in that island. In consequence of the official
order, the Africa will not sail until Sunday forenoon
at eleven o'clock.

CLERKENWELL.

Mr. A. Berand, aforciin7nTrCiol7,Tesiding in Islington,
applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for advice under the following cir-
cumstances:
Applicant said that he made the application on the part
of a foreign lady from Gallicia,who bad been recommended
to his (applicant's) firm by a correspondent from Ham-
burg. She wint to that town in search of her husband, who
some five or aix years ago had abandoned her end two
children. The husband was traced from Hamburg, where
he had assumed the prefix of doctor and practised the art of
Mesmerism, to the neighbourhood of Tavistock-square,
where he professes the isms of Mesmer and others.
After various attempts to prevail on his wile to leave
London, telling her that he would return home
when he should have made plenty of money, whereas
if his marriage were known his lady patranesecs
would forsake him, said that it would be better for
her to keep it secret; and after various fruitless attempts on
the part of the wife to re-assert her matrimonial rights, the
latter thinking that her faithless husband might have
other attachments, went last) week to his lodgings,
where she was much ill-used by the landlady and daughter,
and given in charge of a policeman in the presence of her
husband. Yesterday morning applicant accompanied the
wife to the house, and was well abused by the landlady and
her daughter, but could gain no interview with the
" Doctor." He had therefore come to this court to solicit
the advice of his Worhip.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was certainly a most extraordinary
affair, and asked whether it could be proved that the lady
was really married to the party referred to ?
Applicant stated that the lady was provided with deem-
menus and every legal proof of her marriage with the
party.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the only mode of proceeding he
could suggest would be an application to the parish officer..
who would pursue means to compel him to support and
protect his wife, and that as soon as possible; and, at all
events, they would get some of his " Mesmeric " fortune
from him.
Thomas Brooke was charged with a cowardly assault
upon Caroline Baker, a young married woman, residing in
Chequers court, St. Luke's, by which she was serieualy
inhared.
The prosecutrix, whose head was bound up, said that on
Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, she went into a
public-house in Chequers-alley in search of her husband,
when the prisoner, without the least piovocation, abused
her, and on remonstrating with him he assaulted her vio-
lently, struck her three times under the ear, end after-
wards seized a quart pot and struck her a desperate blow
with it on her head, which wounded her severely, and she
bled profusely. The prisoner was given into custody.
Dell, a policeman, 0 divisian, said that he saw the blow
struck by the prisoner inside the house.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that whether the police-un-
stables saw an assault committed inside or outside of a house
they were justified in Liking the offender into custody. lie
fined the prisoner 405., or three weeks' imprisonment.
Having no money he was conveyed to prams.

This was a very gloomy day in the Stock Ex-
change, tellers of most descriptions of securities offer-
ing very freely. It is confidently stated that large
sales have been made of pawned stock, chiefly rail-
way proyerty, and as operators are unable to tell to
what extent this movement may be continued, great
discouragement prevailed amongst the " In
addition to the other adverse influences, we have a
serious reaction on the Paris Bourse, and although
it is understood English holders of French shares
have " got on:" to a great extent upon tho recent
extraordinary rise, yet speculators in both markets
are still in a great measure linked together.
It is very probable, however, that if the
downward movement should continue, some direct
means will be adopted by the Emperor to prop up
the market. The report of the intention of the go-
vernment to increase the number of the agens de
change is revived, and the end in view might perhaps
be assisted by this step, as the newly created brokers
would doubtless receive a pretty bread hint that
they must do their utmost in support of prices. The
step recommended by one French journalist, viz., the
creation of sixty new agens de change, would also be
great auxiliary to the imperial treasury, as these
lucrative appoiann,:nts might fairly be expected to
produce in the aggregate a million sterling.
Money was also in more demand out of doors to-
day, and the rates in Lombard-street were mere
stringent, difficulty being at the same time experi-
enced in obtaining tho discount of any but the
best paper. The tendency of the exchange is
rather more favourable, and the Indian mail will,
it is stated, bring the advice of very large
quantities of gold being on their way to this country,
the dates from Sydney being more than a month
later, but there was no diminution of the feeling of
gloom, and the markets closed heavily.
Consols were sold in the morning at and after
rallying to I.OJ, closed, as officially quoted, 991 to

MORE MIsNIONARIES FOR CHINA.

Yesterday especial meeting of the London Miis•
slum Society was held at Easter-hall, for the purpose of
sending out additional missionaries to China, in consequence
of the opening' supposed to be afforded by the progreu and
religious character of the insurrection. Notwithstanding
unfavourable weather, the large room was filled. The
chair was taken hp the Earl of Shaftesbury, who was sup-
ported by Sit C. E. Eardley, Sir E. N. Buxton, the Rev.
C. Charapneys, the Rev. J. A. James, the Rev. Dr. Mori-
son, the Rev. Dr. Henderson, and other friends of the
missionary cease. An address of the committee wee read,
detailing the past efforts made on behalf of China, and
proposing that ten additional missionaries should be sent
oat, the expense involved is the scheme being stated at
from three to four thousand pound. per annum. After an
opening address from the Chairman, the Rev. Dr. Leib
child moved the first resolution, declaring that the meeting
contemplated with wonder and awe the present operations
of Providence in Chins, by which the animating hope was
encouraged that the system or idolatry, which with deadly
force had prevailed for many 's nturivs throughout that vast
empire, was about to be Onf!hrown, and the millions of its
inhabitants, hitherto shut up in pagan darkness, to become
accessible to the ministers of Christ and the power of the
Gospel. This rsuolution was seconded by the Rev. C.
Cheapest's, rector of Whiteetapel, and adopted unani-
measly. The neat re•oletian was mured by the dins. J. A.
James, seconded by Sir E. N. Buxton, and supported ►y
the Rev. Mr. Aldo. Other resolationa followed, in acs
cadence with the object, and by one of them the scheme
of the committee was sanctioned by the meeting. In the
wane of the proceedings a lot of subscriptions wee read,
including one of 2001. and al of 1001. The proceed-
ings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the
chairman.

possess within a year, from this time the most for-
midable navy she has ever had. It is said on good
authority that she will have at least fifty ships of
the line, and as many frigates, of which fifteen will
be of the first class. More than fifty millions of
francs are appropriated in the budgets for 1833 and
1834, to ma•erials for the navy and shipbuilding.
Under the head of steam-engines and Loiters alone,
we find an item of eight million.. The power given
to ministers of appropriating a surplus in any chapter
of the budget to extra expenditure in another facili-
tates the progress of naval constructions. Whatever
may be the motive for the preparations now going
on, they are such as to excite much attention among
the employes in the department of the marine.

SWITZERLAND.

Count Straseoldo has issued an ordinance announc-
ing Chat a cattle fair will be opened on the 3rd of
Octobt'r at Lecco on Lake Como, and will continue
for eight days. The Swiss who may think proper
to attend this fair with beasts are promised that the
import (filth's to be paid at the Lombard frontier for
their cattle shall be returned to them in respect of
all not sold; hot, it is added, to reach the fair from
Switzerland trat -ellers must journey only by the
Splugen. It wou.ld appear from this measure that
the want of the accustomed supplies of Swiss cattle
is felt in Lombardy. In alleviating it, however, the
Austrian government is careful to exclude Ticino
from the benefit of this special intercourse with Lom-
bardy.
