Mishima.
Brroal Va. Cosnsissiosza Presume.
A derision, ins olving considerable interest as affecting the
question of certificate under the existing bankruptcy laws,
was given here to-day. The decision was consequent upon
an application for a re-hearing in the ease of Mr. Jonathan
whose certificate was altogether refused some
time ago by Mr. Scrjeant Ludlow.
The erne has attracted much attention amongst mercan-
tile circles here. It will be remembered that the bankrupts,
who wen• extensive merchant, and shipowners in Liverpool,
failed about three years ago for nearly one million sterling,
dragging along with them the Royal Bank of Liverpool,
which bank was a creditor upon the estate for about
400,000 i.
The application for a re-hearing of the question of cer-
tificate was made last week, on the ground that the certifi-
cate had been refused in consequence of the absence of cer-
tain eridence which the bankrupt at that time could not
bring forward, but which he was now in a position to ad-
duce. His Honour haying heard the arguments, reserved
his judgment to this day, when he decided that, under the
jurisdiction conferred by the Consolidated Act, he had no
authority to entertain the application. The petition was
therefore dismissed.

forward any constable to confirm his statement. The charge
as respected Sergeant Morton was that of his placing a
different charge on the sheet from that which had been
made in the first instance by Sergeant Beck and Constable
Kayo ; and, further, be was charged with behaving in a
very rude and insulting manner towards a person named
Lyons. From the statement of the complainant in this
case, it appeared that he, being a friend to the parties, fol-
lowed them to the station-house, but when about to enter
the door was closed in his face. Ile subsequently gained
admission, but was turned out. Ile, however, persevered,
and gained access to the charge-room, and, having inquired
about his friends, was explaining the matter as it actually
occurred, when Morton asked him if he didn't hear the
female cry out " Police," and he declared that he had not,
and that no female called out, upon which Morton told
him he was a liar, and that if he did not go
out he should be kicked out. Ile (Mr. Lyons) not wishing
to risk the latter consequence, hurried out of the station,
but in doing so received for the second time a " lift " from
behind. To rebut this latter part of the charge, Inspector
Jakes was called, anal be said that he was at the station-
house when Lyons was admitted the second time, and he
did not hear such language used, or see any violence in-
dicted on him.
Mr. Elliott, after a most patient bearing of the whole
case, observed that it was quite clear that there were no
grounds whatever for apprehending the present complain-
ants in the first instance. It was admitted that no com-
plaint had been made to the police by the female alluded
to ; and this being the case, and the constables knowing the
Parties, and aware of their place of residence, were not jus-
titled in locking them up all night on such a charge. For
his own (Mr. Elliott's) part, he was willing to extend every
protection to a public officer in the exercise of his duty, but
at the same time it was his duty to protect the public from
such acts as those proved in the present case against the de-
fendants. He therefore felt it necessary to pass such a sen-
tence as would check such conduct, and that sentence was,
that Sergeant Beck and Constable Kays pay a penalty of
Ills. each, or 20 days' imprisonment. The case of Sergeant
Morton he should allow to stand over until Monday, when
he would give his decision upon it.

KOSSUTIi.

The Corriere Aferemctile quotes letters from Spezia
of the 22nd, stating that the inhabitants of that
town, on being informed that Kossuth was on board
the Mississippi, made great demonstrations in honour
of his arrival. The town was illuminated, rockets
were let off, and a large number of boats, gaily
decked out, surrounded the Mississippi, saluting
Kossuth with music and cheers. Tiie American

commodore, who is taking the waters at Lucca, has
been to La Spezia to compliment him.
Letters and despatches have reached Southampton,
addressed to " Ins excellency Louis Kossuth, late
Uovernor of Hungary." A general belief prevails
that Kossuth will land at that port. His most inti-
mate friends state that he will land in England and
remain here a fortnight, and then depart for the
United States.

new going on with great spirit, and it becomes trident that
much money will be expended both in Manchester and Sal.
ford for the pageant of the day. The mayor and corporation of
Manchester hare finally determined to appear in robes. The
mayor is to wear a gold chain and b.ulge, in addition to his
scarlet gown, the badge to bear the arms of the borough, with
its motto written, not in gold, hut in diamonds. The badge is
estimated to cost 600!., and the robes, chain, collar, and other
decorations of the whole body corporate 1,4001. The guinea
tickets of admission to the royal reception in the Exchange
have not gone off well, and the time for selling them has

MEXICO.

Our advice, from Texas state that on the 18th of
August a general revolutionary outbreak was hourly
expected in the states of Tamaulipas and New Leon.
By recent advices it was announced that the sur-
vey of the Mexican Boundary Commission was pro-
greasing rapidly westward. The astronomers and
surveyors of the American and Mexican commis-
sioners had joined forces, and their advanced parties
had reached a point thirty mile% west of Rio Mien-
lies. The line was to run eight or ten miles south
of Cook's Spring, thus giving the United States the
whole of the road to tho copper mines, and the only
route which can be traversed by waggons. 'We
have since received intelligence, that in consequence
of a disagreement between the commissioners and
the surveyor, the operations of the commission are
almost suspended.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SZPT. 15.
The Turkish steam frigate which conveyed to
Alexandria the new Sheteef of Mecca, has returned
with important communications from Egypt. In
consequence of these it has been determined in the
council of Ministers, held on the 13th, to scud the
ultimatum mentioned in previous letters.
The Shereef of Mecca and the Pasha appointed to
command the troops having neglected the courtesies

of etiquette towards the Viceroy, it appears the lat-
ter paid them in kind, and left Cairo on a tour
through the provinces.
The ultimatum of tho Porte to Egypt is dated
Sept. 4. It affirms that all the arrangements made
for the railway, before having demanded the autho-
' risation of the Porte, shall be considered null and
void.
The greatest anxiety prevailed at Constantinople
to know the answer of Abbas I'asha to the ultimatum,
and particularly to ascertain the definitive attitude
of England on a question of such vital importance
to her. _ _ .... . - .

Count Batthyany, who had followed during some
time treatment for his health at tho mineral baths of
Broussa, did not accompany Kossuth on board the
Mississippi. lie embarked on the lath on board the
French steamer. As, according to the terms of the
convention between Austria and the Porte the Count
could not visit Constantinople, M. do Lavatette the
French minister, despatched the government steamer
Ajaccio to take him on board at the port near
Broussa and convey him to the steamer at the
Dardanelles.

THIS DAY.

Two o'Cioex.
This is a very busy day in the share market, the
settlement of the account having been in fall pro-
gress. At a general view, it appears to be a " bull"
account, but in particular stocks the jobbers have
' evidently greatly oversold themselves, and a marked
rise is the natural consequence. Prices of nearly all
descriptions are to-day marked considerably higher,
I and the improvement has now extended to some
stocks which were previously little affected, so that
it may be considered general. The views ex-
' pressed by us a short time ago, that the
extreme point of depression must have been nearly
I reached, as the " bears " would consider further ex-
tensive operations too hazardous, are thus proved
correct, and at present the general feeling of the
dealers appears decidedly in favour of arise. Many of
the " bears " are believed to have been p tty ex-
tensively caught by the rapid rise in particularstocks.

SLAUGHTER AGAINST SRI.

HENNA/4,

The adjourned inquiry wax resumed on Tuesday last at
the fI.H. Inn, Cheriton. Walter Taylor, Esq. (one of the
county magistrates), the Rel.. Mr. Itubbanl, and several
gentlemen from Winchester, were present to watch the_pro-
ceedings. Mr. Wooldridge appeared on behalf of Mrs. Ben-
ham. The jury having answered to their names,
Martin Viler, the younger, of Winchester, builder, said—
built the house now occupied by Mr. Benham in Win-
chester. There is a drain under the floor of the cellar to
_ .

convey the drainage of the cellar into the river 30 feet be-
low, beyond the mill tail. The pipe is 12 inches in diameter.
Those drains arc sufficient to take off any accumulation of
water which can come under the pavement of that cellar.
I visited the cellar yesterday and to-day. The beer-cellar
ceiling is perfectly dry. The walls feel cold, but there is
no daemon them. The cellar is as dry, if nvt drier, than
cellars generally are—c, nullity drier than my own. The
coal cellar is divided front the beer cellar by a wall and par-
tition. The ceiling iv perfectly dry. The eastern wall, the
only external one, was cold, but not damp to the touch. I
found that cellar much warmer than the other. lam in
delicate health, and round a sensible difiCrence in the coal
cellar. I found a dry warm glow. The eastern wall
has the window. The coal cellar is nearest to the
kitchen and the rest of the house. The floor was not damp,
not so damp in appearance as the beer cellar. I should not
like to be shut into the beer cellar for three or four hours,
but should not mind it in the coal cellar. It is a very supe-
rior cellar. The coal cellar is nut gloomy. If the coals
were out it would be light enough to read in. I never saw
the cellar for some months till yesterday. The window of
the coal cellar was then open; that of the beer cellar was
shut. I don't know how long the window had been iu that
state.

the Jury returned an unanimous verdict of " Man-
slaughter against Mra. Benham," and the coroner
immediately issued his warrant for her apprehension, and
placod it in the hands of Superintendent Everett. (It is
currently reported that Mrs. Benham is gone to France to
escape incarceration, but that she will surrender when the
proper time arrives to take her trial.)

CUBA.

Captain Parker, of the mail schooner William and
John, which left Havana on the 7th, and arrived at
Savannah, Sept. 15, reports that the prisoners sailed
for Spain in a government transport, and only tho
four ulreadT mentioned had been liberated, viz., Col.
Haynes, Captain Kelly, Lieut. Van Veeliten, and
Mr. Chapman.
The New York papers say that no steps will ho
taken in regard to the American consul at Havana,
who, it was alleged, refused to intercede on behalf of
the fifty prisoners who were shot, until an official re-
port of his conduct shall have been made. If it
should appear that he made no effort to have mercy
extended to the unfortunate prisoners who were shot,
he will unquestionably be removed. The steamer
Parapet° has been quietly surrendered by Mr. Sigur
to the collector at Jacksonville. She was overhauled
at sea by acutter, but run up the river, about Palatka.
The cutter Jackson, reinforced by Limit. Merchant,
and twenty regulars from St. Augustine, was sta-
tioned at the mouth of the river, with loaded guns,
which were to be used in case of a refusal.

SPAIN.

MADRID, SEPT. 23.
I have already alluded to the indecision of General
Lersundi, the Minister of War, in not having taken
any energetic measures to keep Narvaez away from
the capital. He appears to have written to the mar-
shal a letter making an appeal to his tried patriotism
and loyalty to the Queen, beseeching him to defer
his return. The moderado opposition are making
every effort to secure the presence of their chief,
which they doubt not would upset the cabinet, and it
is expected that the Duke of Valencia will at all
events be at his post at the meeting of the Cortes, in
November.

ITALY.
PIEDMONT.

Our correspondent, writing from Turin, on the 25th
September, gives a satisfactory account of the state
of Piedmont at the present moment, as a proof
of which he adduces the fact of the capital being en-
tirely entrusted to the national guard, the troops of the
line having all marched to join the camp at Alex-
andria, where, during the 26th, 27th, and 28th cur-
rent, the King will direct a series of grand
military manmuvres. This display of force
is considered as a counterpoise to the agglo-
meration of Austrian troops at Somme. General
Maffei has published an order of the day to the
national guard on the occasion. Our correspondent
details the legislative measures to be presented by
the government to the discussion of parliament,
which was to meet on the 19th of November. The
Waldenses, or Piedmontese protestants, are about to
erect a church and school-house in Turin, much to the
horror of the catholic party, who have some violent
articles in the ultra journals on the subject. Queen
Maria Teresa is on a visit to the Grand Duke of fus-
cany, at Marlin. The arrival of Kossuth at Spezia
had created a great sensation.

BRUSSELS FETES.

The fetes o► national independence at Brussels
closed on Thursday. The musical societies of
Lille: Roubaix, and Turcoing, which took part
in the competition of the musical associa-
tions, went in the morning to the palace to give
the King a serenade ; the moment they began
his Majesty appeared and thanked them. The
King then remained to listen to their music, and,
when they had concluded, complimented them. The
Frenchmen, both on his arrival and departure, raised
enthusiastic shouts of " Vive lc Rol !" All the musi-
cal associations which had taken part in the eoneours
then marched in procession to the Hotel de Ville,
where the prizes were delivered by tho Burgomaster.
The principal prize was awarded to the society of
Roubaix. A public meeting of the Academic Royale
was afterwards held. Medals of honour for acts of
courage, devotedness, and humanity were then
publicly distributed by the Minister of the Interior
In presence of the princes. The Prince Royal pre-
sided at the ceremony. Both were received with
acclamations. The day was wound up with theatrical
performances, and balls fur the aristocracy and the
people.

self-defence and for sporting purposes; 3. A total
political amnesty;. 4. The re-establishmenl of the ju-
dicial senate at \ crone ; 5. The re-establishment of
the central reunion. It seems that the last request
has been prompted by the ministry, with the view
to afford the emperor an opportunity to return to
the data pss of 1. eb.,1t448, not by his own will, but in
compliance with the wishes of his people. Ms Ma-
jesty's reply to whole was in the consecrated

position in American literature, took place at 1 o'clock
on Sunday afternoon, the 14th inst., at his residence

the directors were resumed bola' hts honour Master blues,
when the fiat witness called wee
Mr. Daniel Mildred, one of the partners in the firm of
Masterman and Co., who dep sad to the existence of an
entry made by himself on the 7th October, 1846, to tae debit
of the Madrid end Valencia Railway Company, omouating
to 30,7121. 17s. 10d. He believed that at that period his
firm had an amount with the company, otherwise he should
not have passed so large a sum as that to their debit. It was
possible he might have had a draft for that amount on the
authority of the company. It was the custom of the bunk
to return all ebegnes or vouchers, and he believed that at
the present moment they had none of these chequts in their
possession.
Mr. gloater, the official mana;er, was then called and
summed and crosremunined, to speak to the paper' up to
this period In his possesfion in connexion with the affair' of
thecompany. He had no mantel" or copies of minutes ; no
resolutions or copies of them, nor chequer. He had paid
into the Bank of England in his own name and that of the
Meter in Chancery about 18,0001. to the account of the
shareholders in the Madrid and Val:toil. Rtilwsy Compass'.
He believed that Mr. Rose, solicitor to Mr. Chadwick, bell
all the material papers connected with the company, and be
(the witness) hal sufficient sums in band to suisfy slr.
Rose's alleged lien of 6,0001. upon shun, and was ready to
pay it if Mr. Roes established his claim, an 1 if his Hen Mt
the Muter authorised him to do so. He (the offi.ial mana-
ger), however, had had no claim brought in by Mr. Rote
under the estate, and bad had no bill delivered in, and had
taken no steps to have it delivered, or asked the Master's
directions on the subject. He had a vague notion that Mr.
Rose bed no claim against the company. The 17,60. N. he
had received on account of the company had been realised
from one sources oaly, and had ,been transmitted from the
Bank San Fernando in Spain. It was the proceeds
of stock standing in the names of Mr. Chadwick and of the
other English directors of the Madrid and Valencia Railway
Company in that beak. The stock amounted to six million
of Spanish real; the marketable value being between
, 21.0001. sad 22,0001. sterling, or thereabouts. The dif
fames between the 22,0001. and the 17,6001., or between

SPANISU MOlLLLS.—Charles Gomez, a Senth American,
was *bused with awaking Antonio Gown a Eipaniszd.
Complainant laid he was walking the night before in Sz.
Paul's Churchyard when prisoner came and struck him a
blow on the head, and immediately drew out a clasp knife,
with which he pursued and threatened to kill him.
l'aice•constable 371 corroborated this evidence.

Prisoner—l am a bow and arrow maker, and used to live
is Liv.irpool-strest. Complainant tame to me and told me
be could get me a great deal of custom among his connexions
in England. He often came to my house, and soon after-
wards I found him with my wits in a dark room. I forbid
him my house. I have often met them since arm in
arm. Upon the last occasion I told him I would
kill him if ever I caught them together again. After
all this, last night I was waikiag through St. Paul's church-
yard and there I saw complainant walking with my wife
wain and they wire laughing and talking together; I woo
fanged at it and struck him, and 1 could not help
doing so.
Alderman Farebrother—And I think you mired him
quite right. It I had caught a man with my wife in the
same manna, I would have broken every bone in his skin.
You were wrong to attempt to make use of the knife though;
and as for you (turning to the complainant, who was pre-
paring to sneak ou. of We court), the sooner such disreputa•
We characters as yourself return to their own country, the
better. Such tricks as these may do there, where the people
are not so particular ; but in a Coriatian country like this
we don't 1113 W them. Now go away, and never let me see
you here again under similar circumstances, or I shall place
you wane the prisoner now stands. I shall animist' this
case ; and (to prisoner) I would advise you, if ever you dad
that man with your wife again, to giro him a good thrash-
ing, Out use no knives.

MADRID, JAN. 8, 4 r.,i.
Sinco the sitting of yesterday. in the Senn•.e the
mi,,istry has been in a state verging on dissolution.
Pedal believes himself destined to term with Mon
the foundation of the new cabinet. Sartories, in order
to combat the new combination which threatens the
government, has caused his intimate friend Don
Salvador Bermudez de Castro, ex-envoy to Mexico,
to present a motion proposing that ?ideal should
lay on the table of the Chamber the docu-
meets relative to the marriage of Montemolin
with the sister of the King of Naples, and the
exptdititm of the Americans against Cuba. Thie
motile has been signed by three deputies, friends
of Sartorius, sod two cf the opposition. 'termed, z
de Castro has made a speech of most siolet.t oppo,d-
don against Fidel, which has lasted from halt-past
one up to the present hour (four), and is stili going
on. It is thought that the members of the moderate
opposition will rot vote on this question, in order to
avoid strengthening Narvaez at the expense of Pidal.
M. Pidal made in the same Fitting a victorious
reply to the attack of Bermudez de Castro, whose pre-
position sill be rejected.
Serious disturbances have taken place in Rees,
Catain:a, against the tax of communes. The poste
of the city guard were burned. M. Soler, the collec-
tor of the 'ax, was assassinated. Similar disorders
had taken place in other parts of the province.

►lire Cu dllne Weston, who resides is Ihnisondsey, said—
List night, at a little atter six o'clock, a, I was mein,
throngh Few:numb street, I saw the Flouter put Die liana
into the pocket of a Gentleman and pull ont part of a hand-
kerchief. I immediately a :zed the prisoner by the collet,
or.d I called tJ the genthataa, who turned about. The
handkerchief fell at his feet. _

The Lied Mayor—Y Ju teld the prisoner fast ?
Witness—Certainly 1 did, my Icrd ; and I would not let
hies go, as the attempt was so palpable.
The Lord Mayor—What have you to say, prisoner, to this
la'y's statement ?
The prisoner—l don't deny that she took me, my lord.
But what was Itodo ? fem a poor Italian, in great dis-
tress, and as hungry as a wolc I must eat, and I must get
something to buy food.
The Lord Mayor —le the prisoner known ?
The !enemata into whose custody the prisoner was given
said the &ilow was the companion of Zoieves.
The Lord Mayor—l shall send him for six weeks to bard
labour in priaou. I cannot sufficiently express my admire
tion of the spirit and presaces of mind exhibited by the
yourg lady who performed so hazardous a feat as tt.at of
taking into custody a pers. n of this description.
The prisoner was then committed.
beveral pickpockets were brought up in the cast Idy of
Fincit, and summarily convicted by his lordship for having
attempted to pick pockets.
The Lord Mayor said he was bapry to be able to state that
the course he had pursued with respect to pickpockets coming
!Afore him had been (allowed by the best results. When-
ever any pickpocket had previ testy been summarily convicted,
he directed the pollee to produce the certificate of such con-
viction at the trial. In consequence of this.plan during the
post session many thieves who would, if evidence of former
crimes had not Men produced, have escaped with imprison-
ment for a few months were sentenced to transportation, and
thus society was relievzd from than depredators at any rate
for some years. It was, tie lordship added, quite shocking
to see thieves who had been long exercising their callicg,
sentenced perhaps to confinement in geed for two or them
months, and afterwards to tend them not only committing
plunder, but haunting the very scenes of their former ad!
ventures.

THE BREVET IN THE INDIAN ARMT.—The exten-
sion of the brevet to the officers of the Indian army hag pro-
duced a singlar revolt. All the major-generals and colonels
in the service have been absorbed. There iv not an officer
of any rank between the lieut.-culonels and the lieut.-gene-
rals. The immediate effect of this will, we presume, be
beneficial to many of the senior lieut.-colonels, for all the
divisional commands for which major-generals only arc
eligible, must be vacated. These will then be filled up by
the lieut..-colonels, with, we suppose, the local rank of
major-general.—United Service Gazette.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MARLBOROUOII-STREET.

Daniel Lange, of Mark-lane, was summoned for assault
leg Henry Edwards, an omnibus conductor.
The complainant stated, that on Sunday afternoon the
defendant entered his omnibus, and, having placed his feet
on the opposite seat, commenced scraping them on the
cushion. Complainant civilly asked him to remove his feet,
as he could not allow such doings in his omnibus. The de-
fendant
took no notice of what he said. Complainant
spoke to him a second time, but still received no answer ;
he then put his hand upon defendant's boot, and said you
must remove your feet. The defendant then abused him,
and struck him several blows, upon which the complainant
gave him into custody.
This statement was confirmed by another passenger in
the omnibus ; but the defendant's mother, who was also in
the omnibus, said the complainant's conduct was violent,
and that he took hold of his foot and pushed it about after
it had been removed from the seat.
Mr. Hardwick said the defendant was wrong from the
first. Fined 40s. and costs._

THAMES
John Henry Count, a well-dressea acing man, 42
years (gage, was charged with intermarrying with a re-
spectable young woman named Elizabeth Hinson, while
his first wife wee alive.
He was married in Jane, 1835, to Ann Cornen, at Brom-
ley Church, and lived with her for several years whenever
he was in England. She bad sir children by him. He
then deserted her, and she bad been struggling ever
since to maintain them. In August, 111.30, he married the
second wife, who having heard that he had been previously
married, taxed him with it. He positively denied the fact,
but she brought him face to face with his real wife, and
be was then given into custody.
The defence set up was that the prisoner bad lived un-
happily with his first wife, she being a ROM= catholic,
and having concealed that tact from him.
Evidence was, however, produced to show that the pri-
soner had ill.treated his wife, and behaved in the most
brutal manner to her.—Committed for trial.

HUNGARY.

A letter from Pesth, of the 7th inst., says:
The rescript of the emperor ordering the revision of the
constitution had alarmed the Jews of Hungary lest such a
change might interfere with the equality which they at
present enjoy before the law, notwithstanding their reli-
gious belief. In consequence, the Israelite population
of Pesth a few days back sent a deputation to the lieute-
, nant-geueral of the kingdom of Hungary to express their
disquietude on the subject. His excellency assured them
that they need not feel any uneasiness, as it was the firm
determination of the emperor that the rights of all citizens
should be respected. In consequence, the Jews of Pesth
the next day celebrated in their central synagogue a service
of thanksgiving, closing the whole proceedings by singing
in chorus the national hymn of Austria.
