COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN ft THi liv. T. T. MITCHINSON.
The bankrupt, Thome Yorke Mitchinson, was described
as a clerk in holy orders, formerly of Edmonton, then of
Bengal. then of Sabbathor (India), then of Arthur-rued,
Holloway, then of Euston-road, Mkldlesex, and now a pri-
soner for debt The debts are 1,7061., due to about
fifty creditor. The bankrupt ascribes his failure to lass
of appointment ss aseistant-ohaplaiu in the Bengal es:a-
blishment and subsequent incapacity to follow his pro-
fession, both arising from ill health.
Thie was • renewed application for release from custody.
At the former sitting his Honour declined to entertain the
application until after the sitting for choice of Longoria,
which has since been held. There was no further opposi-
tion, and the release was granted.
IN is nowmuncur.
This was another application for release. The bankrupt
was described as a patentee and msnufactnrer of agricul-
tural implements. The choice of assignees had taken plane,
and it was asked that the bankrupt should only be released
on bail, as it wss supposed that he meant to return to
Canada, where he had formerly resided.
His Honour observing that there bad been two writs of
IVwhich had been discharged en application to the
:by whom they were granted, did not think it neces-
sary to require bail, and ordered the release.

Tau QUESN'S UNTVERSTTY SIINATN..--A report is
anent, not amongst the "muses," but in well-informed
circles, that, at this moment, there are professors of theo-
logy who are exerting private influence m some directions,
is order to have themselves nominated upon the re-con-
;traded se- ate of the Qu-en's lleiversity ! We advisedly
sistain from indicating she denomination, or denomina-
tions, to which these candidates for university distinction
belong ; but the proceeding is so monstrous, and so calcu-
lated withal, first, to directly sectarianism, and secondly, In
the end, to destroy the senate of the Queen's University,
as to require public exposure for the purpose of defeat-
ing at once its mischievous tendency. We would gladly
hope that this report is without soy foundation in truth,
and if so our notice of the matter can do no harm, and msy
be productive of some good. If a single theological proles-
sorbeloogiog to ore denomination be appointed, every other
denomination will be entitled to a similar privilege, and the
new Senate will be a " happy family" indeed, if a set of an-
tigonistic teachers of sectarian divinity ale incorporated
with its household. Besides, theological professors may be
very eminent in their own special departments, while only
moderately qualified in secular learning; but, in any on"
horn the very nature of their professional vocation, we
hold them to be unfitted for the superintendence of scien-
rage studies in a professedly coo-sectarian institution.
The teaching of sectarianism is the very business, and ape-
oifii mission, of this class of gentlemen, and their appoint-
ment as such would be, ipso facto, • direct importation of
sectarianism Into the very constitution of the senate I Her
Majesty's government, we trust, will be better advised than
to listen for an instant to any such application as tLis,
supposing it to have been made from any quarter, no
matter what the latter may be. A senate male up of ele-
ments so essentially conflicting, and habitually on the watch
to checkmate each other, would scarcely hold together two
yam, io addition to its mischievous action upon the whole
system of university examination.—Londonderry Standard.
BROTHER IGNATIUS AT ito3ll.—Yesterday, Bro-
ther Bannock, who has charge of the monastery it Nor-
with, favoured the local public with a copy of a letter
which he bad received from &Aber Ignatius, who
is now in Rome. Brother Ignatius who dates
from Rome on the " Feast of S. Scholaltics,' stales tint

t-Ig, but he admits that he is easily " knocked up." He
received a blessing from a French bishop at D—, bat he

Genoa and Leghorn. He then passes on to the " great
and holy cif of Rome, exclaiming rapturously,
"Oh, how Jesus must love Rome !" He forgot
the grandeur and maguificence of St. Peter's is the
thought that there before him lay the body of Peter,
the fisherman. The lower claims of Rome, be is
old by an English clergyman, imagine that the
English people are not Christians ; and he (Brother Igna-
tius) is sorry to say that the English visitors in Rowe lust
now are not calculated to change this opinion. " Sometimes
English ladies seem to forget their feminine modesty
in their anxiety to get young monks to speak to
them.* As to monasteries and monks Brother Ignatius
has had a great treat • ' he has visited Biaediciticesi, Domini-
c-ma, Franciscans, Carthusian, and many others; and he
has been delighted with the regularity sod holiness which he
has witnessed. He had an interview with the Pop* on the
" Peet of S. Scholastics,* having previously bad an argu-
ment with the professor of dogmatic theology at the Prop-
ped& (whose "arguments were loud and lengthy, but not
in the least convincing"). As to the Pope, Brother Igoatios
says :—" The Pope was most kind and condescending—l
may say affeotionate—in his manner towards me; I shall
never forget the sweet face of that dear, holy old man."
The Pope extended his hand to him, but Brother Ignatius
"bowed down sad hued the cross on his slippers."
