The bankrupt warn a solicitor, of Great James•treet.
The case was before the court and was fully reported •
few days ago, when Mr. Bane accountant, a creditor for
8001., complained that he had bad- no notice of the sitting,
and obtained a short adjournment. He now asked fce
additional accounts extending back to January, 1865,
the date of a former bankruptcy, when the debts
were Z 1,300/. The cam was then taken out of court
by • deed under which the bankrupt undertook to pay a
composition by instalments, but failing to do this most of
the debts had revived.

The iernkrupt, in answer to the court, dated that he kept
no ceab book. _

—gin Honour adjourned the ow, and rave the opposing
creditor leave to tender requisitions.

The bankrupt war described as a stock and abate
dealer, of Lombard-street, late of Copthall.buildines.
Ile came before the court with debts of 6,98. V.,
against assets returned at 7401. The principal
creditors are gentlemen connected with the Stock
Exchange. This was a sitting for examination and
discharge. It was stated that the bankrupt had only ob•
tained his order of discharge under a former bankruptcy
in Feb., 1866, and that all his present debts had been con.
traded since.

Mr. Godfrey, for the assignees, and Mr. S. Woolf for •
creditor, asked for cash and other •000auts extending
from the date of the last order of discharge, and an ad.
jonnunent for this purpose was ordered.

IN kg 61A1LLES GARNETT.
The bankrupt was • contractor for railways and public
works, of Bansteed, Surrey. The liabilities are of the
large amount of 45,7801.; there is a debt stated to be due
to the bankrupt of upwards of 48,0001. from the Salisbury
and Dorset Junction Railway Company, but unfortunately
it is returned as doubtful. The good debts are "kited
at 4871.; property, consisting of shares in the
Bedford Pania.n, 1,2601. ; proper held as seen-
city, 15,0941. Amongst the liability creditor, are Messrs.
°reread, Gurney, and Co. (limited), for 5,0001. This
was the sitting for examination and discharge.
Mr. Bagley, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. Chidley appeared in
the cue. It wee stated that the claim on the Salisbury
and Dorset Railway had been made the subject of award,
and decided adversely to the bankrupt. Instead of
44,0001., he had been awarded only 0,0001. odd, and, as
each'party was to pay his own costs, there would be nothing
coming to the estate. On behalf of the liquidators of
Overend, Gurney, and Co., • large proof for 36,0001., wen
tendered, but was ordered to stand over for investigation.
An adjournment was ordered till the the 28th of January.

THE ALLEGED SUBMERSION OP TORTOLA AND

ThE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

The arrival of a batch of New York papers up
to the date of the 16th puts us in possession of the circum-
stances under which Reuter's telegraphic agent at New
York must have forwarded the intelligence of the " rub-
mereion of Tortola." It will be remembered that the
telegram was positive and definite. " The island of Tor-
tola," it said, " has been submerged. Ten thousand lives
were lost." On turning to the Ncie York Herald of the 15th,
which a subsequent telegram gave as the authority for the
original statement, we find that the language of the
New York journal was not, with regard to the loss of
life, equally absolute. The Gerald telegram runs thus :

" Havana, Nov. 14,1867.

" Tortola, one of the smaller British West India
Islands between Virgin Gorda and St. John's, containing
an area of 48square miles, has been completely submerged
by the flood following upon the great gale of the ith
and it is reported that 10,000 lives have been lost."
The next day, on the 16th, the Herald had another
" special telegram" from Havana, in which the statement
was reiterated. Still, we find that the report
was received with general discredit at New York,
and this was expressed by the New York Mars
of the 16th in the following way :—" The public
will do well to suspend its judgment about the sub-
mersion of the Island of Tortola until further ad.
vices. Islands of forty-five square miles with ten thousand
inhabitants, and the usual arrangement of mountains, val-
leys, &c., are not so easily submerged by hurricanes as this
report would imply. A good deal of damage may have been
caused, and a good many lives may have been lost, by the
flood consequent upon the hurricane ; but the catastrophe
as reported by telegraph is simply incredible. The next
despatches will probably reduce the loss of life by several
thousands, and permit the island to reappear on the map."
A good deal of anxiety would have been spared at home,
if the agent who forwarded the original announcement
had given the authority for it, and had made known the
doubts with which it was regarded at Now York itself.

THE RUSSIANS IN CENTRAL ASIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, Msacii 31.

Official intelligence received here by post says
that no hostilities have taken place on the Russian
frontiers in Central Asia. The Emir of Bukhara
had been defeated by the natives of Shehri-Sebz
and forced to allow that province to become an
independent State. The Emir had returned to
Bokhara. A semiofficial denial is given here to a
rumour that differences had arisen between France
and Russia, which had prevented those powers
from addressing a collective note to the Porte coun-
selling the cession of Candia to Greece.

RAILWAY PROPERTY.

Observing that the public disinclination for all kinds of
railway securities is carried to an unreasonable length,
the Duilg K aes says that the utmost evil that the share-
hohlers can undergo is to receive so income for a while,
but it may happen that this result will turn to their ulti-
mate advantage. The idea of new branches will be aban-
doned, and the general administration economised and im-
proved. This is no ideal picture. Those who are ac-
quainted with the railway history of the country can
easily recall more than one instance where apparently
hopeless financial depression has in the end been attended
with the happiest results.

THE SHOCKING WIFE MURDER SEAR
CHADWELL HEATH.

STRATFORD POLICEOOURT.—(THIS DAY.)
James Bacon, the farm labourer who murdered
his wife, Sarah Ann Bacon, by stabbing her in her throat,
on Thursday afternoon, in the Rumford high road near
('hadwell, was brought before the bench of magistrates,
Mr. G. Fry, chairman, for filial examination.
The prisoner is a stupid-looking young man, and scarcely
seemed to be fully conscious of his awful position.
Mr. Griffin appeared for the defence, and Mr. In-
spector Nightingale, of the K division of police, attended
to conduct the case.
The same witnesses were examined as were called at
the coroner's inquest on riaturday, on view of the body of
the murdered 1110/11AZI, when the jury returned a verdict
of '' Wilful murder" against the prisoner, and he was
committed to Chelmaford gaol for trial at the next assizes.
It appeared that the wretched man bad threatened to
take her life a few days previously to her terrible death.
in consequence of her ge•ting into debt unknown to
him. Mr. Wright, surgeon, of Rumford, said the wound
on the left side of her throat just under the ear was
fearful cut into the throat. She died from exhaustion,
having bled to death.
The prisoner was committed.
The tragedy was perpetrated near the same spot where
Wade murdered his paramour about two years since. The
deceased has left two young children.

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.—An explosion of
steam boiler on the premises of Mr. James Wragg, pork
butcher, Barnsley, occurred on Saturday morning, and,
besides the premises being greatly dam Aged by the explo-
sion, Mr. Wren himself and his apprentice, a young man
named Samuel Lockwood, were so much injured that they
expired in the course of the night. The boiler was erected
on that part of the premises used for slaughtering pigs,
and the explosion occurred just as Mr. Wragg and his ap-
prentice were about to commence work. The former has
left a wife and five children.

THE POLICE AND THE PARKS.—The Metro-
politan police take charge of Hyde-park and the Green-
park this morning. The carriage gates of Hyde-park will
be kept open till twelve o'clock at night instead of ten
o'clock, u hitherto. Arrangements are made for the
regulations of his Royal Highness the Ranger and the
First Commissioner of Public Works being strictly carried
out, and for preventing the crimes and disorders in the
parks, of which complaints have so often and justly been
made. The magazine barracks, in the centre of the park,
will be appropriated for a police-station.
At the Barnstaple Petty &salons held on Wed-
nesday last two lathes were elected overseers ; Mrs. Slo-
combe for the perish of Bittadon, and Mrs. Crang for the
pariah of Bretton Fleming.

ANNOYING A LICENSED VICTUALLER.

Afeery Cheater, of 21, Redcross-street, Borough, a servant,
was charged with being drunk and duorderly, and annoy.
ing Mr. Edward Coate, the landlord of the White Lion
public-bouse 22, Leather-lane, St. Andrew's.
On Saturday night the prisoner, who was the worse for
liquor, entered the complainant's house several times and
made disturbances. At last she found her way into
the bar, and it was then found n to call in a con-
stable, and it was with great difficulty t she could be
got to the police-station.
The defendant, who said she was very FOIT7, was ordered
to pay. a fine of 3. 11d., or in default one day's confine-
ment in the cells of the court.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE LOVE OF FINERY.

Mary Wilcox, • young woman, residing at No. 33, Vic-
toria-terrace, St. John's-wood, but formerly in service at
No. 16, Old Burlington-street, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of lace, velvet trimming,
&c., the property of Mn. Angela Pearson, a lady lodging
at No. lb, Old Burlington-street.
Sergeant Runes, it C, said that in consequence of receiv-
ing information that a robbery had been committed at 16,
Old Burlington-street, and that a young woman, who had
since been kettarged, was suspected, he made inquiries,
and yesterday went to No. 33, Victoria-terrace, St. John's-
wood, where the prisoner was residing with her parents,
and in the presence of the prisoner's father and mother
he asked her if she knew anything of some
lace and other property stolen from her last
situation about a fortnight ago. She said she
knew nothing about it. He then asked her if she had any
objection to his looking over her boxes. Ste made no re-
ply, but her father fetched her box, opened it, and he
(the sergeant) then found a quantity of lace. In answer to
his question as to how she became possessed of it, she at
first laid that she found it in the fireplace where she had
lived, and then that she found it in the waste-paper basket,
by the fire-place. He then took her into custody, and
when at the station she admitted that she took the articles
out of a carpet-bag ac 16, Old Burlington-street.
Mrs. Angela Pearson identified all the lace and other
articles produced as her property, and stated that they
were stolen out of her travelling bag, she having just ar-
rived at the lodgings. She had missed other property be-
sides that found in the prisoner's box.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner (who it was stated
by the parents to the officer had been induced to act as
she had done from an excessive love of finery) for a week.

THE PROSECUTION OP MS. M RS.

The proceedings of Sir Baldwin Leighton and his fellow
magistrates in Shropshire usefully bring into prominence,
says the Daily News. the unsuitability of the institution
of the unpaid magistracy to the modern exigencies of life.
Applying their judgment to England, if martial law hap-
pened to be proclaimed in England, these gentlemen
would justify the seizing any man in London, the carrying
him off to Ireland, and the banging him at onoe on his
arrivaL No ono, according to their doctrine, could be
punished for such a proceeding. Or, again, if there should
be a renewed reform agitation. and a new Peterloe massacre
by yeomanry, the guilty officers would only have to go and
live in Shropshire to be certain that magistrates would
screen them from the law, on the ground that they were
not proved to have " malice" against the particular vic-
tims. If to men like these—members of a dominant
class and inspired with all the fervour of class
antipathies—is to be still committed the function of
deciding when the law shall, and when it shall not, have
course in this land, we cannot but dread the results. The
blot on our system must be removed. In the seat of
justice we must have men who have been taught what
justice is.

Henceforth, the Herald nap, a verdict of soquittel,
wherever the ease is tried, is a foregone conclusion ; and,
awarding to the Standard, through the decision of the
Shropshire squires, the Jamaica Committee " stands be•
fore us now an example of conspiracy detected, malice
bailed, and insolence rebuked."

If the Star understands the position of affairs, the charge
of murder was made under legal advice as the proper mode
of investigating the death of Gordon, but such a charge
could not be made under the Colonial Governors Act,
which merely admits of the trial of misdemeanours. The
committee may now, therefore, fall back upon the mode of
procedure authorised by that statute, which being admi-
nistered under the Court of Queen's Bench a warrant will
reach Mr. Eyre anywhere in England without requiring
the egregious farce of a petty-sessions committal. Under
this form of process also, not one, but all of the crimes
committed in Jamaica may be tried.

THE CESSION TO THE I:MED BUTTS 0? RL•BBIAN AMERICA.

The Poet regards the telegram which announces the eadott
to the United States of the whole of Russian America and
the adjacent islands ea the counterpart to us of what the
Pllllll4ll treaties were to our neighbours the French. The
difficulties we have already had in British Columbia in
dealing with the Yankee element of the population and
the exact territorial jurisdiction will become proportion-
ately intensified now that the Suttee bound us on the
north as well as the south. A reference to any map will
show the difficult position of a colony separated from us
by a hemisphere and shut in on both sides by an aggres-
sive people. The news which reaches us to-day may be eite_
recterieed as a first and most important step on the part
of the United States towards claiming the whole of the
North American continent am their own. It is the answer

THE CALENDAR.

The calendar contains the names of X 2 prisoners com-
mit tisl for trial, i 6 being indicted for felony and six for
misdemeanor. The offences with which the prisoners are
charged consist of robberies from the person, embezzle-
ments. obtaining goods by false pretences, pot.stealing,
wilfully damaging plate glass, lead stealing from public
buildings, felonious assaults, indecent assaults, robbery by
a servant of the London and North-Western Railway
(' pany, and several minor offences. The state of edu-
cation of the prisoners was again reported to be of a very
low elan, the majority of them being unable to read or
write.

THE REVENUE AND THE BUDGET.

The estimated income of 1866-7 was 67,013,000!.
The expenditure of the year, including the supplementary
estimates sanctioned inJuly, was estimated at 66,720,0001.;
and the anticipated surplus was, therefore, 293,0001. The
actual income is 69,434,56 M, and it is known that the
actual expenditure has not on the whole greatly exceeded,
if it has not fallen short of, the estimated total. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer may thus, says the Times,
have the pleasure of announcing on Thursday that the
balance of income over expenditure is more than two
millions and a half. The additional charge of anny and
navy is for the present 5.50,000/., so that we may
confidently hope Mr. Disraeli will have a consider-
able surplus at his disposal. The dead weight annuities
amounting to 586,0001. • year, expire this summer,,
and the revenue will be relieved of half this in the coming
year, which must lead to a renewal of the discussion re-
lative to the redemption of the national debt. If the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer be indisposed to recommend any
process of redemption, he must be prepared to encounter
the attack of a vigorous and unrelenting antagonist in Mr.
Gladstone. If Mr. Disraeli proposes to abate or abolish
taxes, he may judiciously reduce or altogether sweep away
the fire insurance duty, and though under no circumstance
could a financial minister dispense with an attack on nudt
liquors, if the ingenuity of farmers and their friends can
suggest any mode of lessening the burden of the malt tax
without injuriously affecting the revenue, it will deserve
attention.

The Post dwells on the wonderful increase in the national
receipts, pointing out the fact that of the eight sources
from which the revenue is derived, six have produced
larger returns, despite the remissions of taxation, than in
the preceding year. Nevertheless, as retrenchment has
not kept pace with a steadily increasing income, the Post
assumes that the balance which we find to our credit must
be employed in meeting the increased outlay.
The Telegraph fears Mr. Disraeles financial erposl
be as unsatisfactory RS his reform bill. Out of the rnsgni-
fioent income at his disposal scarcely anything will remain
after disbursing those charges which are pronounced to be
essential for the public service.
London, England, 1867-04-01

THZ REFORM TOIACT.

The Daily New urges that to go into committee now,
without other knowledge of the intentions of the govern-
ment than what is supplied by the negative inform►tion
that they are not prepared to adhere to the only scheme
before parliament, would be to join battle in the dark.
The question which Mr. Gladstone has put on the notice
paper for this evening will give the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer an opportunity of reassuring the country on a
point upon which it feels considerable uneasiness and sus-
picion, and Mr. Disrteli's reply will throw light on the
course which it may be the duty of the opposition to take.
In the opinion of the Telegraph to go into committee
upon vague statements like those put forward by Mr. Dis-
raeli last Tuesday night would be to repeat, in a grosser
form, the error committed in not opposing the second
leading.

The Herald describes Mr. Gladstone's question as
amounting to a demand that he shall be allowed to dictate
the measure of the government. Compliance is impossible,
all the more so that Mr. Disraeli has already intimated his
desire to accept the decision of the house at large upon
nearly all controverted points—an intimation inconsistent
with submission to the dictation of a single member.

TRE GRAND JURY.

On the names of those summoned to serve as grand
jurymen being called over, several excuses were offered.
I ine gentlemen complained of being again served with a
summons to attend. as he had on two occasions given
notice to the authorities of the parish of Hackney that he
was by age exempt from serving, and to be summoned
again after that he considered was • great annoyance.
Another said be had a conscientious objection to take any
oath whatever. The Scripture told them that they were
to swear not at all, and therefore es • Christian man he
objected to taking an oath. In both cases these persons
were excused. The requisite number, however, having
been obtained, they were sworn by Mr. Rwnbelow, the
crier of the court, and having been briefly addressed by
the wintantqudge, they retired to their room.

EXTRAORDINARY THREAT AGAINST
BELGIUM.
(nom cam Owl CORRIMPONDINT.)
PARIS, SUNDAY Eviwnro.
The following almost incredible gasconading
passage appears in an article of the Pays :

We declare that the very legitimate annexations of
Prussia, founded on the profoundly rational principle of
nationalities, have had the necessary and foreseen result
of placing that power in • territorial situation from which
France naturally derives a right to claim, and, if neces-
sary, to take, compensation—that is to say, to reconstitute
herself in her natural limits, and to retake Belgium,
which beckons to and is waiting for us. Is this clear? If
M. de Girardin has no opinion on this matter, we have
one, and here it is. It is an opinion that may now be
read in our columns every day. But we can only state
our own views, and we do not go so far as to dictate to
government the day, the hour, the marshalling of the
armies, and the plan of the campaigns. Still less
do we reject the hypothesis of the possibility of
• pacific arrangement. We will not insult the
government because it thinks right to exhaust all
possible diplomatic means before resorting to the
always terrible and always uncertain arbitrament of
arms. Let the government chose its own time, conceal or
hint at its plans, display or dissimulate its resources—in
• word, let it play the game with Prussia as it best can :
that is the government's affair. It has the responsibility
and should be allowed full liberty. But our business is to
enlist in battle array behind the government the send.
manta, the honour, and the patriotism of France. There
is no sensible m►n who does not consider the reconsti-
tution of Franco in its natural frontiers as the most de-
sirable thing possible for French interests, at least if this
work can be accomplished with the free consent of the
populations.

A stAtTANT.S FOLLON ER.

......
Arfrol Lewin, aged 18, a waterproofer, of 3, Lester-road.
Holloway, was charged with being in a house at Holloway,
supposed for the purpose of committing felony.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor rose
about Go'clock in the morning, and as usual rang the bell
for his servant to rise. Some time afterwards having been
out fora walk and returned, and finding that the servant was
not up he communicated with his wife, who went to the
servant's room and was very much surprised to find in
time servant's apartment the prisoner, and the servant said
that he bad been there all night. The complainant then
communicates! with the police and the prisoner was
locked up, and the police had since informed him that
the prisoner had been in prison for uttering coin, and
hail long been suspected by the police.
The magistrate asked the applicant whether he believed
the prisoner was there for a felonious purpose or for an
immoral purpose.
The applicant said that he considered that the prisoner
was in his house for an immoral purpose.
The prisoner, who treated the matter as a good joke,said
I he had no defence to make.

The magistrate discharged the prisoner and told him be
bad better be careful bow he was found in such a prodi-
cament again. Of course the complainant would discharge
his servant.

The complainant maid that had already been done.
The prisoner then left the court, and as he wasdregoll
out of the door, the young woman, who waa gaily
out in blue ribbons, took him by the arm and they left
together.
DISTI'IIBANCE AT RATl.tft.B WELLS THEATRE..

James Palmer, aged 36, a printer, of 5, Tyndall's-build-
hunt, Gray's-inn-road, was charged with being drunk and
disonlerly at Sadler's Wells Theatre, and causing a crowd
to assemble at Arlington-street, Clerkeawell.
Police-sergeant Tniwin, 402 A, said that between 7 and
8 o'clock on Saturday evening he wan called to the
gallery of Sadler's Wells Theatre, and found the defendant
there drunk and making a disturbance. As the gallery
was crowded the defendant was with difficulty got out
and removed from the house. He wanted to return, but
the sergeant would not let him, and left him there. Re-
turning in a few minutes he found the defendant there
surrounded with a mob of persons, and as ho was then
making use of bad language and would not go away be wee
compelled to take him to the police station.
The defendant, in rep to the charge, said that he was
the worse for liquor, and was very iorry for what he had
done. He had been locked up in the cells since Saturday
evening, and be hoped that that would be considered by
the magistrate a sufficient punishment.
The magistrate mid that drunkenness mu; no excuse for
much conduct, but taking into consideration that he had
been locked up since Saturday evening he would now be
discharged.

admit of it, to contribute some naval element to the review.
All the arrangements for the review are progressing meet
satisfactorily, and there is to be a prize meeting on the
21./th and Zird of April, near Folkestone, at which some
handsome prizes (given by the inhabitants of Dover and

July. The precise date, as well as the place, remains to be
fixed."
