EXAXINATIONS roe THI ARMY. —We are sorry
to learn that a very disgraceful and vey hajurious system
of touting prevails in cennerion with the examination of
candidates for direct 00=6111001 in the army, which now
takes place periodically at Chalon Hospital. Emissaries of
a certain portion of the tailoring interest manage to scrape
up an acquaintance with the candidates, inrinuate them-
selves into their oceilderre, preen small loans of money on
their acceptance, and get their ' to employ
Messrs. —. or Messrs. —, to furnish their outfit,
undertaking that the items will be so charged that
the amount of the loan will be slipped in in the shape
of an addition to each item, so as to make things Omani
with "the governor." The outfit is thus made to maims
proportions of • character sorely to try the purse and
patience of the governor, and in one instance that came to
our knowledge, an ensign in a very aspretentious marching
regiment in India bad uniforms and furniture provided for
his use during his brief stay at the depot amounting to 4001.
Some of these worthier even persuade the candidates that
they can obtain copies of the examination papers for them
beforehand, and this furnishes a ready means of introduction.
The matter hoe been brought to the notice of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who is determined to take
prompt steps to check a practice so diagraoeful. —Army and

hall, the general endeavour, the tagtent was introduced
for the first time to its band, arran under the direction of
the Messrs. Distin. The regiment formed in line and pre-
sented arms, and cheered loudly as the band rayed the

word was given to march, and the regiment, preceded by its

SPORTING.
FIVE DAYS AT HEAD-QUARTERS.

TO TIM IDTTOR OF Till ZMIIIIB.
Sta,—Those who went to Newmarket on Monday
last for the purpose of seeing forthcoming events tinned
upside-down were not disappointed, riskier could the parties
insisting at the meeting for the sake of the sport complain
at the bill of fare during the first two days ; but what at-
tracted the world to the barren heath on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday ia a matter to wonder at, for • duller
three days we have nut often to put up with, eves at New-
market, tt happening most unfortunately that the few items
in the programme which age last week of awe than
ordinary interest came to not ' the Port and Claret result-
ing an walks over. Those in authority would do well to look
shout them for the purpose. of altering this state of affairs
and I am certain the majonty of turfites do not admire the
system of putting the three most important items of the
week—the two Biennial' and the Ha into Tuesday's
card, when a more equal distribution of these is such an
easy matter. It was downright hard work on Tueelay last
to thoroughly enjoy the sport, for many of the competitors
being engaged in future events, it was half the battle to
get • pos.p at them--no easy matter at the " metropolis of
the turf at any time—and to do this only those on the
best of horedeeb who cared little about the manner they
used it, hail • clUnce. To commence with the week's pro.
oeedings, however, I havelo chronicle some startling changes
consequent on the result of the Craven Plate, in which
North Lincoln finally settled the question whether
be is • "roarer" or not, as he was dead buttes •
quarter of a mile from home, and Odo and Athos,
who looked such dyers after what they did at Northamp-
ton, were no more talked about during the whole weak for
their engagements. Seeing that Athos was the beat
Apoilyon beat at Liverpool, it was &abolishing bow the
letter was made first favourite fur the 50 soya. Sweep-
Makes, and such a long shot laid against Sweetennes, as
Fravula's defeat should not have affected the Malta" horse,
wising she never gut off ; but my ally pulled thli with
the petted one, and sent Paleface and Richraoodout of
She Derby market, while Apollyon was friendless for the
Chester Cup, Still it is not fair to entirely overlook Odo's
running with FravOla last August, and the victory of
Sweeteance should have counteracted any ill effects of
North Lincoln's defeat, for Odo must he the equal of Sweet-
sauce and superior to Paleface, Apillyott, and that school—
over his own distance. There is little to be gathered from
the victories of Ring of Diamonds and Thunderbolt, as they
beat moderate animals_ eel, • , hut the Newmarket Handicap
was as fortunate in bringing forward • Derby outsider as
last year, Confectioner winning more seedy than Old
Robert did, although the thres•year-olds are too good this
year for him to have a chance. Mr. Mundy made a lucky
hit when giving but half a century for such a hone, and
Confectioner does no small credit to the judgment of his
trainer, Mr. Reeves, who picked him up at • yearling sale
for dri guineas. Man-at-Am& and Remunerator did me
some little credit by running second and thin!, and I can
see no more formidable thres.year-old for the Chester Cup
than the first mentioned ' • but Newcastle and Precursor put
themselves completely out of court by their performances,
while Gamester's wretched exhibition drove Low-me
hack, although what connexion there is between the two is
beat known to the stable. Menial also ran very moderately,
and when we consider that he was forward for the last year's
Cesarewitch when weighted within Mb of Gaspard, the
latter has no business at 11 to I for the Chester event with
Vet 81b., for lbsithil would have no chance whatever of de-
feating Man-at-Arms had he but fist 71b, not reckoning that
the latter will improve, half a stone by the eventful day.
The moderate character of the lot °pinning the Threwyear-
old Biennia/ can easily be understood when Mr. Parr can
win with an animal supposed to he 101 b behind Lupellus,
and the Brother to Ram" bow having shown himself a rogue,

(Won Yr. Commiasioner Goulburn.)

The bankrupte were merchant., of Threadneedle-street.
This was the certificate meeting. The balanoe-sheet shows
unsecured debts of 4,878/., to meet which the assets have
yielded 4501. The partnership bad only extended over •
few months. There were no profits. On the other side the
figures were rather large—law, 2,971/. ; trade expenses,
1,0331. ; partners' drawing,, 4621.
Mr. Linklater appeared for the bankrupt Cores y, and Mr.
Lawrancrfor Maximo'.

Mr. litastarntan, for the SalligUri, offered no opposition.
Yr. Lawrence stated that Mammas was not present. He
was a Greek, and the wgnees had allowed hini to return
to his own country, with a view to getting his living.
They did not object to his having a certificate.
Kr. Masterman, in answer to the court, said the assig-
nees had no objection to Maxims having a second clam
certificate. As to Conway, there had been some difilculty
from him proper accounts. He had made
covereri it. They believed that he was entitled to some
property, 2,ooorouldea, now deposited in the Commercial
Tribunal at Odessa ; the bankrupt himself attested that he
had no interest in this fund ; but as the assigner hod what-
everlnterest be possessed, and as he had consented to sign
a document to that effect, they had no further oppadtion to
offer.

--Yr. Linklater, on behalf of Core y, expreesed his readi-
nese to sign the required document, and second clan certi-
ficates were granted in both cane.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Aran, 14.
(Before the Chief Come iationer.)
IN RE BOAC[ =MARDI PEMBERTON.

This insolvent, described as having ocaulionally speculated
in the funds, was opposed by Mr. Nichols on the part of
Mr. John &pin, an attorney.
In 1857 Mr. Esrpin was applied to by the insolvent's
brother, William Pentbertan,- attorney, of Southampton-
street, Bloomsbuiy, for a loan of 300/., having had in the
previous year another loan transaction, and heaprolVeltilhaie
boolvent's acceptance, and an assignment • of
500/. under the will of a person named Brettle, to w
be was appointed execrator, and on account of which he
wanted the many. The bill on which the yaws" was ad-
vanced was not paid, and by • proceeding in Chancery it
was ascertained that there was a prior claim to 9001 on the
fund to Mr. Cook, of Warwickutreet. Mr. &pin
said in 1857 William Pemberton absconded on account of Ida
liabilities on account of the celebrated Col. Waugh, and was
he believed in Faris. He opposed on the ground that the
insolvent was not in • condition to become security for
his brother. and by which security he had lost his money.
It appeared that the debts and Liabilities exceeded 4,00 M.,
and the appearance before the court was attributed to the
unfortunate speculation In the funds. From the insolvent's
examination it appeared that he had been an "outsider,"
and joined his brother and speculated, by which consider-
able losses had been incurred He had accepted bills in
blank for his brother, and was not aware that he was stn.
barraased when be told him he was in consequence of his
liabilities for Colonel Waugh, which then amounted to
between 5,0001. and 6,0001. He believed he was residing
at Paris or Boulogne, and had addressed • letter to him a
fortnight ago.
In answer to a question, the insolvent said he was •p-
-tenet.,4,s:lwh., tre dasqo Charles Btr
Mn. and I~ Liut
to him the sungetectr He bad bad no ootnautnies-
ties ea the antler.

itr.l•llchols aubinitted that the debt with Mr. E.pin had
bean inctuxed without reasonable and probable expect►tion
of payment. The learned counsel reviewed the evidence
given by his client and the insolvent.
Th. (WM Commissioner was of opinion that Mr. in
,lash edininesd the money in question, not on the faith of the
iteolveot's name, bet on the faith of the assignment of the
l•pcy, which would have been milkiest but for the de-
ception of the prior claim. As explained, there was nothing
discreditable in the transaction, and it wan clear that the
insolvent's name did not weigh a feather in this matter.
The insolvent was discharged.

THE POLICE COURTS.

WORSHIP-STREET. •
Mr. Invisonrt, the sitting magistrate, was at the elms
of the day's business waited upon by three gentleman,

considerable distances, generally in carte, which the owners
unloaded in some adjacent spot and carried in " lots " to the
market. having effected one sale they returned for more,
and thus the neighbourhood continued for hours • scene of
the most disgraceful character. It frequently happened that
forcible possession was taken of the doorsteps, over
which it was utterly impossible to pass either for ingress
or epees. The pavements were completely occupied by buyers
and sellers, who forced others into the roadway ; large
nails were driven into the walls of the houses, and cages
hung thereon ; in some instances the doors had been forced
by pressure, and the passage to the premises occupied, the
intruders defying ejection. The peaceable inhabitants were
thus prevented from leaving their houses, and women and
children were exposed to insult and the most ribald languags.
Expostulation was met with threats, and at times with
violence. Even in the adjacent churches the vociferation
and tumult could be plainly heard, and when at length the
chew of persons mentioned vacated the ground, leaving hi
covered with filth and straw, it was speedily occupied by
gamblers. As the most likely method of clearing away the
peat spot, it bad been suggested that a memorial of the
inhabitants ',mold be got up and presented to Sir Richard
Mayne. That memorial, signed by 292 householder', was

brought before him, and that be would do severely.
Inspector Armstrong, of the H division, assured the ma-

• matter of difßeulty to match any one trading, for the in-
stant • constable's uniform was caught • glimpse of all
w.:.,oms of a sale disappeared. Many persons, never-
had been brought to this court for offending, and
dealt with accordingly.
Applicants assured the magistrate that • complaint against
the polioe would be extremely unjust, still they trusted in
the hot restate accruing from the plan adopted by the in-
habitants, for as things now stood property was deterio-
rated in value, and the most pernicious and demonSeing
memo were enacted.

gentlemen had adopted the best course in mertmalising Sir
Mayne, was thanked be them for the courtesy shown.

Mr. Broughton has retired from the office of

police magnirate at Mancheetur, will succeed Mr. Seeker
at Gresewich.
