Colvin, one of the bankrupts, attributed the ensures..
ful result of their trading to the sudden termination of the
American war. and the consequent fall in the prices of
cotton. Their loss through this amounted to 12,0001 or
15,0001.
It was stated that the private estate of Kettlewell had
been made available to the extant of 25 0001., and would
yield a surplus of upwards of 2,0001., which, added to the
other assets, might produce 3,0001.

The bankrupt was a solicitor, in St. Swithia's-lane. The
case was before the court a few days ago, on the choice of
aosignees, when a large proof for 10,0001., tendered by a
Mr. Thorpe, timber.merchant and bill-broker, of Leeds,
was disputed by Mr. C. IE. Lewis, on behalf of creditors.
His Honour now gave judgment, admitting the proof.
He wasof opinion that the bankrupt having, as a matter
of fact, accepted the bill drawn by Shield and discreditedby
Thorpe, he must be booed by the consequences of
his own act, and must be onesiderd as primarily
liable for the debt. It appeared that the bankrupt had
executed a deed of assignment on the 31st of January, and
it was argued that Thorpe, though no party to the bill, was
bound by it. But as no account was taken of secured
creditors in the deed, it did not comply with the provisions
of the act and could be no bar to the admiraion of the
proof. Proof admitted.

plague ; ooacluding, that the facts seem to show that infec-

though slaughtering may not in other counties extirp►te
the disease, as it has done in Aberdeen, it is, at all events,
in our present state of knowledge, often a necessary expe-
dient for at least diminishing the virulence of infection.
And whether we slaughter or cure, the principle of local

interest in seeing that it is not abused, offers the only ad-
missible means of diffusing and mitigating the pressure of

THE ENDOWMENT OP THE IRISH PRIESTHOOD.

To the Times the change which Fenianism—which knows
no crime but the possession of property—has made in the
position of the Roman catholic clergy with regard to the
great mass of the people seems to offers great opportunity and
• peculiarly favourable occasion for making a provision, at
the expense of the state, for the Roman catholic priesthood
in Ireland. They are suffering, and are likely to suffer,
for their adherence to the cause of pesoe and order.
Their influence ought as far u possible to be conciliated at
this juncture. They would speak with more boldness and
authority against Fenianism if they were assured of
• provision not depending upon momentary popu-
larity. Of •ll the money that we spend in the
year, the half million that we might devote to
this purpose would yield us the richest and the best return.
We have tried everything that could be thought of with
Ireland, except providing a suitable maintenance for her
clergy. If wo wish them to tell their congregations the
truth, we must place them in a position of independence in
which they can afford to tell it. Though we well know the
amount of opposition such • proposal would create, it is
nsverthels as our duty from time to time to point out these
thinii, in the hope that a period will at last arrive when
the nation will determine to rid itself of a source of per-
petual danger and weakness, and consent to look for once
at the position of the catholic clergy in Irel►cd from the
point of view of a statesman, and not that of a contro-
versialist.

and by land-carriage, were on a very moderate scale, and
in middling condition. The few tine samples on the stands
were disposed of at Monday's currency. Other kinds moved
off heavily ; but no quotable change took place in prices.
With foreign wheat we were but moderately supplied ;
nevertheless, sales progressed slowly, at about previous
rates.

The transactions in floating cargoes of wheat were only
moderate at late quotations.
There was a fair inquiry for malting barley, at last week's
prices ; bat grinding and distilling sorts were very inactive.
Malt was in full average supply, and sluggish request.
In prices uo change took place.
Oats were quite as dear as on Monday, with • fair,

The sale for beans was heavy at the late decline in value.
The show of samples was by no means extensive.
Peas commanded rather more attention, and prices were
fairly supported.
The flour trade was very quiet, on former terms.
All agricultural seeds were dulL Linseed and rapeseed
were firm in prices, but cakes commanded very little

MR. LATIRD.

The Time, has much pleasure in contradicting the report,
originating with the Telegraph, that Mr. Layard had re-
signed his OffiC3 as Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
The Telegraph explains itself in the following terms :
"The public will learn with satisfaction, that the
immediate apprehension of Mr. Layarers retire-
meat from the Foreign-office has passed. For-
cible as the motives must have been which induced
him to tender his resignation, and at the same to decline
the proffered distinction of a summons to the Privy Coun-
cil, be has set aside his own wish in view of the aid which
he can still render to the business of the country in the
active session now approaching. Mr. Layard has thus
added one more to the number of those statesmen whom
we have already mentioned as waiving personal considera-
tions in the earnest desire to support Lord Russell's
government, and to promote the united action of the liberal
party."

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND THE
OCCUPATION OF MEXICO.

The Paris correspondent of the isdhpesdases
Beige, after alluding to various rumours as to what
the Emperor Napoleon will say in regard to
Mexico in his approaching speech from the throne,
says, "That which appears to me the most
probable is that the Emperor, while antici-
pating withdrawal, will not pledge himself
to any fixed period, means not having
yet been discovered for defending the interests
founded by the Emperor's government and the
dignity of our flag. As for the precise terms of
this declaration, supposing what is said to be true,
they are still unknown to the ministers them-
selves, and will no doubt be modified by the news
which will be brought at the last moment by the
packet ship on the 19th or 20th."

BISHOP or LONDON'S FUND. -A meeting of

was held last ever:log at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-
hill, to consider the best means of carrying into practical
effect the views put forward at the meeting held recently
at the Mansion-house in reference to the Bishop of Loudon 's
Fund. The following resolution, after some discussion,
was unanimously adopted :—"That a body of representa-
tives from the various houses of ',wines" in London be
formed, those which employ many young men having two
or three representatives, those which employ few one
representative ; and that out of the general committee a
smaller executive committee be selected to carry out the
general business of the essociation." The election of re-
presentatives from some of the business hosesuss in the

REVIVAL OF AN OLD OFFENCE.

George Brown, a tall, well dressed man, 53 years of age,
was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with carrying on
illicit distillation in an unentered place.
At one time private stills were plentiful in the district,
and the revenue was extensively defrauded. Scarcely •
week pawed for several years without • case of this
kind. The officer who bad charge of this cue
•aired eleven stills in the metropolis in • fort-
night, sad the people working them were all convicted.
There have not been more than eleven cases in the metro-
polis for the last two years. There has not been a case of
the kind at this court for eighteen months. The use of
mythilated spirits licensed by law, by hatters, dyers, fur-
niture polishers, and others, and the increased vigilance of
the excise officers has almost extinguished illicit distillation.
Mr. Frederick Pargiter, an officer of inland Revenue,
stated that he proceeded to the house No. 8, Bedford-street,
Bedford-square, Stepney, this morning, in company with
Mr. Vanstone, another officer, and upon going down stairs
into the back kitchen he saw • copper still set
in brickwork, with the head and arm off. They
fitted the bead and arm to the still and made it
complete. There were 20 gallons of molasses wash in
a state of fermentation in tubs, • half gallon of raw spirits,
the produce of the still, a worm, yeast, and all the necessary
implements and ingredients for carrying ou illicit distil-
lation. There wan a woman in the kitchen, who said
"This is his affair, not mine, it don't belong to me,"
and also mid that the m►n who was owner of it
was upstairs, and that he took the kitchen
in November last, at 3s. 6d. per week, and
she thought it was for the manufacture of chemicals. He
found the prisoner in the house, and he said he was alone
responsible for the still, and had been working it ever since
it was erected.

The prisoner said that what the officer had stated was
perfectly right. lie was out of work, and was told if he
was detected he would not be imprisoned, and that only the
still and utensils would be seized.

Mr. Pargiter was recalled, and said the spirit seized had
bees manufactured from molasses wash. The stuff was
hawked about the sea coast and inland towns and villages
as smuggled brandy. It was not rectified.
Mr. Paget said he had no alternative but to fine the pri-
soner MI., and in default to be imprisoned for three months
sod kept to hard labour.

HEARTLESS ROBBERY.

Josiah Payne, a carman in the service of Mr. Reed,ia
master carman and contractor, was finally examined before
the Roo. G. C. Norton with stealing a quantity of horse
food, and overly starving a valuable horse placed under his
auto
From the statement of Mr. Reed it appeared that the
primer and others of his carmen were engaged in removing
a quantity of broken stones from a barge in the
Thames at Whitefriars, and his instruction to the
tom was that they should take a sack of pro-
reader every morning on board the barge to
feed the horses with. The prisoner had been observed
to take several nosebags full of provender with him, and his
horse being found in such a state of debility and weakness
sa to be scarcely able to walk, inquiries were made which
ldt no doubt that he sold the provender and nearly starved
the poor horse placed under his charge.
A cowkeeper, named Torrington, residing in John-street,
Old Kent-road, admitted that on the day before the pri-
soner was apprehended he brought two nose-bags full of
provender belonging to Mr. Reed, and emptied them into a
manger on his premises, and borrowed a shilling from him.
This witness admitted that he wee aware that the prisoner
was in the employment of Mr. Reed, yet he gave no infor-
mation to his master of the prisoner having brought
provender to his place.
Mr. Cherry, the veterinary surgeon to the police force,
mid he examined the horse that had been in the prisoner's
Marge. and could affirm that its state was owing to a want
of food.
. . . . . . .

Evidence was also given of the fact of the prisoner having
been before convicted of a similar offence, and the evidence
lithe present cue being conclusive of his guilt, he was
My committed for trial.

PAILIAMINTLZY nscriowa.

Mr. Bright's speech last night was received in
London at too late an hour to admit of comment upon it
in the ordinary leading article columns. The Times, in
some degree, anticipates it, however, by a brief essay on
the vocation of the platform generally, and its province
as distinct from that of parliament and the press. The
substance of our contemporary's remarks is that the 1
battles of the Constitution are in parliament.
and, that compared with them, all the public meetings
in the country, though good in their way, and with
their use, are but holiday-making, mere parades,
scenes on a prepared stage. The relations of the prase
must be much more with the legislature than with any
such system of one-aided demonstrations. What they
claim is only the one-aided utterance and recognition of
sentiments and facts occupying either very debateable
ground, or cumbering the mere approach to the grand argu-
ment before us.

The election practical at 'retool' and elsewhere are
dwelt upon by thiaTinits, Herald, and Telegraph—the Times
confining itself more particularly to those at Tots's.
for the benefit of which place every known species of im-
proper influence must have been worked into a compound;
Electioneering was the staple of the borough ; there was
no other trade there, bet this particular business wa►
carried on with singular success. The extent to which the
electors obtained money from their own sides, or from
their adversaries, or from both, is beyond all belief, and
what is extraordinary is that the increase of the constitu-
ency, which in thirty years had doubled the number of
voters, produced no diminution in the price of votes.
Altogether Totnes is supposed to have received, since the
year 1839, a good hundred thousand pounds as the product
of its electoral privileges.

The Herald has an apology for bribery in the abstract.
It is absurd to consider people who give and take bribes as
corrupt. In most cases the offence of the briberin particular
has really no other source than a cynical indifference to the
purity of others. He is not necessarily corrupt himself,
nor does he acquire by the practice of corruption any such
taint RI to make him personally less disposed to morality
than be was before. The corruption of the electors is not,
in the view of the Herald, necessarily a sign of the
deterioration of the body elected, and though a man may
have purchased his seat, his character is in no way affected•
Granted, that manhood suffrage and the ballot would give
us a more incorruptible body of electors, who is able to
assure us that they would give us a more honest body of
representatives ? And looking to the end rather than the
means of government, is it not of more consequence that
we should have a pure House of Oommons than pure con-
stituencies! The choice, according to the Herald, is be-
tween a oornipt constituency and a corrupt assembly, and
the Herald prefers what it terms the independence of the
representative to the purity of the elector.
